DOWN ON DUOPOLY
I was offended after reading Roger E. Kohn’s letter to the editor [October 6]. According to Mr. Kohn, I am a third-party, selfish voter, meaning I do not vote for Democrats or Republicans. I choose to vote for candidates who hold true to my beliefs. Unfortunately, these are rarely candidates from the twoparty duopoly. The choices I make on the ballot are carefully considered and are anything but selfish. I agree with Mr. Kohn that there is a noticeable difference between the two major political parties — but certainly not enough. I also agree with him that life is full of compromises, but there are some things that should never be compromised. I do not believe in compromising my beliefs or anyone’s rights. If I were to vote for one of the twoparty presidential candidates, I would be doing just that. I think it is arrogant of Mr. Kohn to insinuate that, as a third-party voter, I should stay home because my vote is the equivalent to no vote at all. I will not stay home November 2, and Mr. Kohn should realize that winning isn’t everything. Historically, thirdparty voters have empowered their candidates to move very important agendas that otherwise
h7ITHOUT 2OLlNG ) COULDN T SKI AS MUCH AS ) DO v
may have never manifested into the national political arena. I should also point out that thirdparty candidates do win elections. There are currently over 210 elected Greens in the United States, and the Green Party is the fastest-growing political party in the world. I hope Mr. Kohn comes to realize that change is inevitable as long as there are third parties to break the monotony of the twoparty system, for two are too few to properly represent the diversity of ideals that are the vitality of America. Owen Mulligan BURLINGTON
Mulligan is Executive Director of the Vermont Cannabis Coalition. WHO’S THE MAN?
The gubernatorial debate on Tuesday defied Peter Freyne’s many attacks on Peter Clavelle [“Inside Track,� October 13], outlining both the stronger candidate for governor and the better man. Late in the debate, a young woman stood and asked the two candidates to lay down their swords, put the mud-slinging to rest, and each tell us one good quality about their opponent. Around this time of year politicians morph into vicious cats that claw and spit, losing sight of the fact that all
Vermonters want is an honest, good person to represent them. In answer, Douglas’ voice surged over the room, telling a story about how his wife never expects him home for dinner. He praised himself for being a selfless public servant, talking about how difficult it is to surrender his family for the good of Vermont. In an afterthought, he crowded in a comment about Clavelle’s similar sacrifices. When Douglas sat back down, the dismayed audience looked to Clavelle. As he fired back at Douglas, I prayed, “Please let there be a better man in this.� At that moment, Peter Clavelle paused. His demeanor changed. He looked at the Vermonters before him and did what our governor could not. He answered the question. He swallowed his pride and commended Jim Douglas on his Fit and Healthy Kids initiative. In a flood, my faith was restored in this mad political game. I walked away from that debate knowing that there is a better man amid all of the spite — his name is Peter Clavelle.

living in that fucked-up place for another four years. But Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,” October 20], what in hell has crawled up your ass and died lately? Despite the chatter amongst your “seasoned” circle of hacks, there are 600 Vermonters packing their bags for the Middle East who may disagree with the assessment that the war ain’t relevant to Vermont. Everybody knows a vote for Peter Clavelle won’t end the farce and fraud forced upon us by the U.S. Supreme Court. It will, however,
be a very symbolic and powerful vote against those who would eat at the table of such thugs. Those who choose to stand with this naked Boy Emperor and his merry band of thieves. And yes, a vote against this very ugly war. We all know you fashion yourself the gritty populist crank, willing to dispense the tough advice to friend and foe alike. You’ve been very good at it through the years. And perhaps those running a very tough campaign could have taken different and better steps along the way.
But your stuff is becoming about as useful as five minutes with Ann Coulter. Vermont is better than that. And so are you. David Lines BURLINGTON
NO RTA
“It’s just not good for kids.” That’s the conclusion of teachers at the Center for Technology (CTE) in Essex Junction and the Burlington Technical Center (BTC), who recently voted by over 90 percent not to support

the proposed Regional Technical Academy (RTA) on the ballot November 2. When those teachers were asked to design a technical high school, they responded with plans for a four-year academy offering a comprehensive academic curriculum, state-of-theart facilities and wide-ranging athletic and extracurricular programs. Combining teachers and programs from both existing technical centers, the new school would epitomize 21st-century technical education. The current proposal is something different. Although the technical academy was approved by voters in March 2004, this technical center is far removed from the original plan. Realizing that the price tag for the new RTA could be prohibitive, the board cut costs. Rather than building a new facility, current plans have the center installed in an empty factory. The four-year academy has been reduced to two years. With enrollment figures down, there are no guarantees that programs will be maintained. There will be no sports or extracurriculars. Thus, this RTA represents a net loss in educational quality and options for students. When questioned about these changes, RTA board member Leslie Williams replied that “we need to be open to... some risks.”
Teachers at both technical centers, Burlington and Essex Junction, are nearly unanimous in their opposition to the RTA. They are adamant that their opposition to the RTA is solely because the current proposal is bad for students. As Dave Ginter, CTE teacher, stated, “They want to spend $44 million to close two of the best tech centers in Vermont.” Support technical education. Vote “no” on the RTA November 2.

I am writing to clarify information about the RTA Board of Directors. It is not true that all board members support the vision of a separate four-year school. I voted in opposition to that particular vision statement, and many board members were absent the night of the vote. The present RTA board is dominated by people who were not elected. At our first meeting after the March election, we were given a slate of business appointees. These folks were approved after brief interviews LETTERS >> 15A

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
The Left Gets Smart
W
ith just a few days to go until the big vote, the race for lieutenant governor of Vermont is fast becoming the race to watch. And Seven Days has detected a noticeable swing in favor of the Democratic challenger Cheryl Rivers as more and more Progressives wake up and smell the coffee. Republican incumbent Brian Dubie is seeking a second term. He won two years ago with just 41 percent of the vote. That’s because it was a three-way race. Democrat Peter Shumlin came in second with 32 percent. And Progressive Anthony Pollina finished third with 25 percent. No one in Vermont appreciates the Progressive Party more than Brian Dubie. This time former State Sen. Cheryl Rivers, a longtime champion of causes near and dear to Democrats and Progressives alike, is taking her first shot at statewide office. And much to Doobie-Doo’s delight, Progressive State Rep. Steve Hingtgen is running, too. The only media poll so far shows the 2004 lite-gov race shaping up like a repeat of 2002, with the Progressive and Democrat dividing the left and handing victory to the enemy. But, stop the presses! Seven Days has learned that the Progressive Party is in turmoil! Independent thinking has broken out! Leading Progs are jumping ship, folks, and coming out of the closet for Cheryl Rivers, the Democrat. And, according to sources, internal tracking polls at one party headquarters are showing Hingtgen’s 15 percent support cut in half. What’s going on? Ellen Oxfeld has been active in progressive politics since then-Mayor Bernie Sanders ran for Congress in 1988. She’s worked for Bernie every two years since and also helped organize the Progressive Party in the late 1990s. However, Oxfeld, the Prog Party’s Addison County chair, is not going to be voting for the Progressive Party candidate this time. Instead, she has become a passionate Rivers supporter. The Middlebury College anthropologist told Seven Days she firmly believes in the need for a third party in Vermont. She supported Pollina in his 2000 bid for governor and 2002 run for lite-gov because he was raising issues the Democrat wasn’t. She’s right. Pollina took on the old Howard Dean, the one we often satirized as Vermont’s “Republican” governor. And former Sen. Peter Shumlin had a gasolineand-matches relationship with the far left. This time, however, it’s a horse of a different color. Oxfeld told Seven Days that while she has “a high regard” for Hingtgen, “It doesn’t make sense” for him to be in this race. “Cheryl Rivers is doing exactly what we criticize Democrats for not doing,” said Oxfeld. “She’s advancing Progressive issues.” Oxfeld pointed out that Rivers is calling for publicly funded health care, livable wages and prescription drugs from Canada. Similar sentiments are being expressed by a former colleague of Hingtgen who served with him in the General Assembly. Former State Rep. Carina Driscoll (PBurlington) told Seven Days that, unlike last time, she will be not be supporting her own
party’s candidate for lieutenant governor. “I’ve served with Steve and I have a great deal of respect for his contribution,” said Driscoll, “but I’m supporting Cheryl because she’s the best candidate, hands down.” In Carina the Prog’s mind, Rivers the Democrat is the candidate “who can win, bring the left together and make the difference we need for Vermont.” What the hell is going on? If the Progressives ever did anything right, it was marching in lockstep. Now that dashing and handsome Tony the Prog has retired from running losing campaigns and taken up the perch of a WDEV talk-show host, a few seemingly normal, intelligent Proggies are starting to see the light. Or maybe the impact of the Green Monster, Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential campaign and the spoiler role he played in key states like New Hampshire, has finally sunk in? Imagine waking up every day and not hearing the latest body count from Iraq? Not hearing George W. Bush’s voice? In a perfect world it’d be positively delightful to have Instant Runoff Voting, something Progs tout. Third-, even fourthand fifth-party candidates could have a real shot and the voters would be exposed to a broader public debate than the one offered by the two Big Bad Major Parties. But, in case you haven’t noticed, we do not live in a perfect world. Progressives Oxfeld and Driscoll are not alone. Though Congressman Bernie Sanders runs as an Independent, free of party labels, it was the Progressive Coalition he spawned in Burlap 20 years ago — when stepdaughter Carina was but a little tyke — that became what is the Progressive Party today. For years Anthony Pollina ran the congressman’s Vermont office. And Ol’ Bernardo, long a Rivers ally, is also urging Progs to back the horsewoman from Windsor County. Stevie Wonderful was not pleased to hear how fellow Progs Oxfeld and Driscoll view his candidacy. “I’m sick of this spoiler stuff,” said Hingtgen. “It’s a joke. They’re trying to marginalize me.” Damn Progressives, eh? You just can’t trust them. Actually, it’s not a joke, Steve. Republican Brian Dubie winning a second term with just 41 percent of the vote would be a joke. A sick joke, too, in the eyes of Vermonters who will vote overwhelmingly for Sanders, as well as for Democrats Patrick Leahy and John Kerry. As they’d say in Vegas, there’s a lot of last-second movement in this race among the Vermont left — movement toward Rivers the Democrat. An upset is brewing. Looks live Ma Rivers not only can lead a horse to water, she can also make it think. Crystal Ball: Rivers upsets Dubie. Hingtgen doesn’t break 10 percent. The Vermont left finally gets its act together on the Montpeculiar stage. P.S. Howard Dean is scheduled to endorse Auditor Elizabeth Ready on Wednesday. In the wake of stories about her bogus academic claims, Ready is in the INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

Robina Akther says she is “about 18 years old” but can’t be sure, since she doesn’t know the exact date she was born. But this tiny Bangladeshi woman, who can neither read nor write, can spout plenty of other relevant numbers in her life. Like seven — the number of cents per hour she earned as a junior sewing operator in a garment factory in Dhaka, stitching pants that are sold by Wal-Mart. Fifteen is how many hours Akther sat at a sewing machine each day; 120 is how many pants she had to sew in an hour to meet her production quota. And four is the number of times she was beaten by her boss in her first six months of employment for not making that target. Akther’s friend Charles Kernaghan is director of the National Labor Committee, an international worker and human rights group. Kernaghan and three former garment workers from Bangladesh are visiting high schools and colleges across the United States in an effort to raise awareness about the deplorable working conditions employed by U.S. apparel companies. “These are some of the hardestworking women in the world,” Kernaghan told a crowd of some 200 students and faculty at St. Michael’s College last week. “They’re also some AKTHER AT OHAVI ZEDEK SYNAGOGUE, of the most abused,” >> BURLINGTON, OCTOBER 22.

NAP Time When 1000 UVM students rioted on the Redstone campus to “celebrate” the Red Sox beating the Yankees, few people in Burlington’s Neighborhood Action Project were surprised. They’ve been dealing with escalating student violence and rowdy behavior since Labor Day. The 6-year-old group is composed of city officials, residents and university representatives. They meet bi-weekly in the Howard building on Pearl Street to compare notes on noise, vandalism and qualityof-life issues in the heavily student-populated area bounded by North Winooski Avenue and North Willard, Pearl and North streets. At the beginning of the school year, they sponsor nighttime neighborhood walks to introduce themselves and identify party spots. The morning after the riot, which caused an estimated $40,000 to $60,000 worth of damage, UVM president Daniel Fogel circulated an email to university and community leaders declaring that the students involved would be disciplined. A copy
of his missive was passed around the NAP meeting Thursday night. Though official reports say the damage was confined to campus, the 14 NAP members who attended reported lots of noise and broken bottles on their streets. The NAPsters — most of them middle-aged parents and homeowners — say the kids have been particularly rowdy this year, especially earlier this fall. Residents traded horror stories about students peeing on their lawns and drag racing on North Willard Street. One woman told of a friend who rents a hotel room every weekend to escape the late-night noise. In late September, one NAP member (who wishes to remain anonymous) sent an email to fellow NAPsters and Burlington city councilors describing a particularly gross offense: Someone defecated in a nearby alley, then smeared feces on her house and her backyard grill. There was no proof that students were involved but, given the neighborhood’s hostile climate, they’re the prime suspects. In fact, there seems to be a general consensus among UVM and city officials that this year has been especially trying. UVM’s Gail Shampnois told the group, “I really feel this fall strained and stressed a lot of our

When they do, it’s not always a positive experience. Junior Matthew Silverman of Philadelphia came to a meeting at the beginning of October. Silverman is the op-ed editor of the Vermont Cynic, but he didn’t tell the NAP members that he was taking notes for a story. Judging by the negative response at the most recent NAP meeting, his October 12 center-spread
story about the NAP, “Citizens By Day, Stewards of Silence by Night,” only inflamed the situation. “Students see the NAP as a group of party-poopers,” he wrote. “College students want to go out late on the weekend, party, and have a good time. In a sense, this ritual is a defining characteristic of higher learning in the United States and likely in the world at large.” Silverman, who doesn’t plan to attend another NAP meeting, said in a phone interview that he thought the riot was “incredibly stupid,” but he still thinks the NAP’s standards are unreasonable. “If you have a family, that’s just not a good neighborhood for you to live in,” he said. “Maybe that shouldn’t be the case, but that is the case.” CATHY RESMER

In New Mexico, lawsuits are flying over Ralph Nader getting booted off the ballot. In Missouri, Democrats are suing the state over the locations of early-voting stations. And in Florida, you can’t swing a hanging chad without hitting an election attorney who’s filing suit over touch-screen voting machines or disqualified voter-registration forms. Public confidence in the integrity of the upcoming election is so low that 13 members of Congress sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan asking for international observers to keep an eye on things. While Vermont has managed to stay above the fray, federal officials here aren’t leaving anything to chance. On Election Day, the U.S. attorney’s office in Burlington says it will field phone calls from any concerned voters who want to report incidents of election fraud or voting-rights abuses, such as paying voters to vote, tampering with ballots or tallying machines, stuffing ballot boxes or physically intimidating voters. The program is part of a nationwide effort set up by the Justice Department to make voting easier and cheating harder. Actually, this kind of thing isn’t new — Assistant U.S. Attorney John Conroy says he’s been doing it in Vermont since 1988 and has never had to make an investigation into voter fraud. Nevertheless, Conroy says he’ll be open for business late on November 2, just in case. To file an election complaint, contact the U.S. Attorney’s office at 951-6725. KEN PICARD

Galbraith emphasized that he frankly doesn’t care if underage college kids are drinking and partying — it’s the ruckus that ticks him off. “You don’t need to make noise or to engage in some of this other behavior to have a good time,” he said. But there was only one student present to hear Galbraith’s admonition: Kelly Chamberlin, a UVM senior who chairs the school’s Committee on Legislative Action. Though the meetings are open to the public, students, with their hectic class schedules — and social lives — rarely attend.

During their visit, Kernaghan spouted plenty of other startling figures. For example, there are 1.8 million garment workers in Bangladesh, most of them teenaged women like Akther, who work under similar or worse conditions. Wal-Mart, the world’s largest company, spends $1.4 million per day in advertising, but pays just 26 cents for each garment sewn by Akther. Kernaghan points out that if Wal-Mart, which earned $9 billion in profits last year, paid its Bangladeshi workers just 37 cents per hour — a 25-cent raise — it would be enough to lift those workers out of poverty. Wal-Mart is by no means the only American company accused of using sweatshop labor in developing nations, though it’s by far the largest. Wal-Mart has consistently denied those allegations, and a spokesperson at its global headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, insists that the company’s overseas operations conform to all labor and human-rights standards in the countries in which they operate. But Kernaghan isn’t buying it. He’s the activist who uncovered the sweatshop labor that was producing goods for Kathie Lee Gifford and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. During their U.S. tour, Kernaghan brought the former garment workers into a Wal-Mart store, where one of the women identified the pants that were made in the factory where she worked. Sk Nazma is a former child worker who began toiling in garment factories at age 11. She is now president of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, a group that’s fighting for better wages and working conditions. Speaking in her native Bengali, she told the audience at St. Mike’s that they’re not asking Americans to boycott these companies — the Bangladeshis desperately need the work, she says — but to put pressure on the companies to do the right thing. The last number Kernaghan shared with the audience is $268 billion — the total purchasing power of the nation’s 15.3 million college students. He urged the students to become more conscientious consumers and ask questions about what they buy and how it’s made, and to use that power wisely. “These workers are not coming here to say how pathetic they are,” Kernaghan says. “If they don’t have the pressure in the marketplace, these workers will never get their rights.” KEN PICARD

Teresa Martin survived, but the July 30 crash sent her husband into a coma that lasted two months. When he regained consciousness, he was arrested and charged with attempted murder and kidnapping.

his is a mismatched couple if I ever saw one, I thought to myself as I guided my taxi along the highway en route to Topnotch in Stowe. We were in foliage season and the mountainsides framing Bolton Flats looked like the inside of a furnace. I’ve always felt these blazing colors actually warm the bones of Vermonters, preparing us all for the deep freeze to come. The woman in the back seat was young, not beyond 30. She was lithe and lively, with silky black hair and a sharp intelligence evident in her eyes. Her paramour sitting beside her — I could tell they were a couple by the way he kept touching her — was at least a dozen years her senior. He was dark, coiled and compact. Though he maintained a tight smile across his wide jaw, he looked as if he’d just as soon take a swipe at you. There’s this theory that people couple up on the basis of a relatively equal degree of physical attractiveness. We all know — or eventually learn after a sufficient number of rejections — our general position in the sexual food chain. Armed with this knowledge, we seek out the most appealing partner possible given our own level of allure. One obvious exception to this rule is the rich and powerful man: He tends to get the young
This wasn’t the first time I’d noticed how outer success doesn’t necessarily translate into personal happiness. hotties even if he looks and acts like a cretin — a fact that doesn’t make me the least bit jealous or bitter. I had a suspicion that the twosome in the back fell into this category. “Hey, man,” the guy blurted out, forcefully grabbing my attention. “Is this what they call ‘peak foliage’ right now? Because my secretary was supposed to book us here for the best part of the season.” “Well, technically we’re probably a little past peak, but I look at it like sex. Sure, the climax is terrific and all, but the lead-up before and the cool-down after ain’t shabby, either. The whole thing’s great, I guess I’m trying to say.” This metaphor had come to me earlier in the week and, though it was a bit risqué here, I have to confess that I’d been looking for the right opportunity to take it out for a spin. “Crap,” the man said, turning to face his seatmate and pointedly dismissing my sexfoliage analogy. “I explicitly told Maria to book the hotel for the cream of this leaf thing. How hard could that be?” I read somewhere that a tribal member who had spent his whole life in the Amazon jungle could literally not see any images the first time he viewed a television. Living in a visceral, natural world, the abstraction of TV was simply beyond his frame of reference. My customer in the back was the mirror image of the tribesman: He could not see the trees of Vermont; his experience of the world
FaceYourSelf ®.Com
FaceYourSelf ®.Com was entirely mental. The woman stroked his forearm. Calming this guy down, I imagined, had to be a full-time endeavor. “Lawrence,” she said. “Look out the window, honey. It’s gorgeous out there.” Accepting the prompt, Lawrence turned to his left, peered out skeptically at the great outdoors and registered a sour, controlled smile. “So you folks live in L.A.?” I asked as we came upon the Stowe exit. They had arrived in Vermont on a private plane from Los Angeles. “Yeah,” Lawrence said. “Well, we live in Malibu, actually.” “Jeez, I can’t even imagine what it would be like to live out there. Swimming pools, movie stars — I guess I get my ideas from ‘The Beverly Hillbillies.’” This realization and what it revealed about the vapidity of my experience made me laugh out loud. “Are you associated with the movie industry?” I asked, continuing the frothy repartee. “Yeah, we both are. Lilly’s an actress and I’m a film producer with Universal.” Check, I said to myself. That explained the “Beauty and the Beast” phenomenon, just as I had suspected. But I didn’t linger on that thought for long; I was excited to be transporting real live show-biz people. “Wow, so I’m dazzled. Universal is one of the major studios, I guess. Have you been associated with any worthwhile projects, anything you’re especially proud of?” “No, just crap that makes money.” “Oh, c’mon, honey,” Lilly interjected. “What about Monster’s Ball?” “OK, yeah — that was something of quality. But, as I said, mostly crap.” It’s nice to see a man who loves his work, I thought. This wasn’t the first time I’d noticed how outer success doesn’t necessarily translate into personal happiness. Sometimes the CEO is in a world of pain while the short-order cook is on top of the world. We passed the Ben & Jerry’s factory and soon reached the three-way stop in downtown Stowe. The sidewalks were teeming with peppy leaf-peepers, a lovely sight for all of us who depend on tourists for our economic well-being. After a few miles up the Mountain Road, the signature flaming torch appeared and we turned off into the Topnotch Resort. The place is aptly named — it’s pretty plush. “Oh, Larry,” Lilly burst out as we pulled to a stop at the front office. “This hotel is gorgeous! Autumn in Vermont — what a perfect anniversary present.” Lawrence said, “Here’s to the next 10 years, baby,” and embraced Lilly, kissing her tenderly on the lips. I sat behind the wheel feeling more than slightly stupid. Riding around every day with people I’ve just met and making snap assumptions about their lives — sometimes I forget just how off-base I can be. Whatever else could be said about this guy, it was now obvious that he genuinely loved his partner and that the feeling was mutual. “Beauty and the Beast,” as I recalled, was a story of true love. 쩾

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
him?” Ordered to return to his mark, the doomed man had to stand there while Jackson, who had purposely let his opponent shoot first so he could take more careful aim, raised his pistol and pulled the trigger. No go — the hammer stopped at half-cock. Jackson coolly — some would say cold-bloodedly — recocked the gun and tried again, this time successfully. Dickinson fell with a bullet hole in his gut and slowly bled to death. Many who heard of the incident felt that recocking the weapon was cheating; Jackson was unrepentant but remained under a cloud until his success in the War of 1812. • Grover Cleveland. Elected sheriff of Erie County, New York, in 1870, Cleveland was responsible for the hanging of condemned criminals. Believing this unpleasant chore was not one he could fob off on a hireling, Cleveland sprang the trap himself at least on two occasions. Political foes later called him “the Buffalo Hangman.”
Dear Cecil, So I guess everyone’s agreed that John Kerry personally blew away a VC in ’Nam 35 years ago. My question is, have we ever had a killer for president? I’m not talking about generals like Grant and Eisenhower, who were indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Confederates and Germans, or combatants using long-distance weapons like a Kennedy torpedo or a Bush Sr. bomb. I’m wondering about somebody getting whacked face to face, mano a mano, up close and personal, with a gun, knife, club or pointy stick. Washington in the French and Indian War? Garfield in the Civil War? Didn’t Andy Jackson fight a duel or two? Gavin Anderson, Salt Lake City No offense, Gavin, but you sound like one of those guys who slows down to ogle car wrecks. However, now that you bring it up, the question does hold a certain grim fascination. Given the 250-year time span and the impossibility of counting undetected homicides, I don’t claim the following list is complete. Still, I know of three U.S. presidents who killed people at close range, and one more accused of murder: • Andrew Jackson. No surprise here — the hot-tempered Jackson killed a man in a duel near Nashville in 1806 (not quite two years after Aaron Burr, then vice president, killed Alexander Hamilton in a similar confrontation). His opponent was Charles Dickinson, a young lawyer who had insulted Jackson’s wife, Rachel, in a dispute over a horse-racing debt. Jackson issued a challenge, Dickinson accepted, and their seconds arranged the details: The two men would stand eight paces apart in a forest clearing, pistols pointed down, and shoot on command. At the signal Dickinson — by reputation the far superior shot — immediately raised his weapon and blasted away, striking Jackson near the heart. The wound was serious but not fatal; Jackson clapped his hand to his chest but otherwise remained motionless. Stepping backward, Dickinson exclaimed, “My God, have I missed
• Teddy Roosevelt. During his famous charge with the Rough Riders up Cuba’s San Juan Hill in 1898, Teddy was among the first to reach the enemy trenches as the Spanish were retreating. Two men shot at him; Teddy fired back, and one died. At least one historian doubts that in the chaos of battle anybody could know for certain who had fired the fatal shot, but Teddy was sure he had done it and the Medal of Honor citation he received 102 years later (long story) credits him with the death. • George Washington. Many U.S. presidents have been accused of capital crimes, mostly by opponents, but in Washington’s case some reputable historians have pointed the finger. As an inexperienced militia officer in 1754, Washington led an ambush on a small French military detachment in the Ohio Territory in which the French commanding officer and nine others were killed. Indians in Washington’s party then scalped the dead. France and England weren’t at war at the time; the French were on a diplomatic mission to deliver a message telling the English to clear out of French territory. One French survivor claimed that his CO had been shot down as he attempted to read the message while surrounded by English troops. (Nobody says Washington killed the man himself, but he was there and nominally in charge.) Five weeks later the French captured Washington and made him sign a document describing the French officer’s death as an “assassination.” Washington later claimed he didn’t understand what he was signing because of a poor translation; in any case, the incident caused an uproar and precipitated the French and Indian War. French historians have long regarded the incident as murder. Even if you don’t buy the story that Washington’s men blew away the defenseless emissary, a plausible argument can be made that our first president rashly concluded the French were up to no good and supervised the killing of 10 people by mistake.

Reaching Women
W IMAGE Jordan Silverman
NAME JOB LOCATION
hen Andrea Learned urges a client to “reach the sky” during a recent Pilates class at her South End studio in Burlington, she’s referring to arms stretched upward. The 40-year-old Michigan native’s personal sky-reaching efforts now go beyond the exercise regimen that has given her a muscular frame. But she’s no Andrea Schwarzenegger. Pilates is “a mind-body process more akin to yoga,” explains Learned, whose own mind is increasingly immersed in the intellectual demands of another career: a writer who advises businesses how to market products to women. For more than a decade Learned tackled a variety of jobs as she migrated across the country, starting out in Washington, D.C. and winding up in Washington state. When she relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Vermont late last year, the timing seemed perfect. She was coauthoring the 224-page Don’t Think Pink, which came out this summer. Harvard Business Review deemed it “rich in practical suggestions and interesting stories, with an easy-toAndrea Learned read style.” An anonymous consumer Women’s Marketing Consultant commenting on Amazon.com, where Burlington the Pink sales ranking is noteworthy, delivered even more effusive praise: “I’ve read a lot of business-related books and rarely do I find one that I can’t put down.” A New England home makes it easier for Learned to promote the successful publication — and spread the word about gender marketing at conferences — in major Eastern cities such as New York. Moreover, she is geographically closer to her septuagenarian parents and three siblings. An added benefit is that the rural Green Mountain State nurtures her outdoorsy athleticism. Learned loves strolling with her Australian Shepherd, bike riding, snowboarding and Nordic skiing, among other recreational activities. “My energy is better suited to Burlington,” she acknowledges. “I have a great lifestyle here. I enjoy the calmness that feeds me and allows me to do my work.” SEVEN DAYS: First of all, what the heck is Pilates? ANDREA LEARNED: During World War I, a German man named Joseph Pilates engineered hospital beds so that patients could exercise. The piece of equipment [a platform rigged with springs, straps and pulleys] I use is called The Reformer. Later, in New York, his business was near a ballet studio and Pilates became inextricably linked with dance.
SD: That influence is obvious. Some of the movements are very graceful. AL: You have to focus on breathing and use the core muscles of the body, lengthening and strengthening them from the inside out for no more than an hour at a time. It’s not about cranking up the volume and getting really sweaty. Gym rats aren’t usually interested.
SD: What interested you? AL: One of my sisters was doing it in 2002. She looked leaner and fitter. So I was addicted by the time I started training in Seattle four times a week, from September to November 2003. I was already planning a move to Vermont and thought this was a trade I could practice anywhere. I love it so much, I wanted to evangelize. I moved here in December and began teaching Pilates at the end of January. But I plan to close my studio soon to concentrate on writing. SD: Was that something you studied in college? AL: I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1986 as a political science major. Then, I did PR work at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. From there, I went to Portland, Oregon. That was 1989. SD: Why Oregon? AL: A boy. SD: After trying out a range of occupations in several states, in 1999 you resettled in Bellingham, Washington. What sort of work awaited you? AL: I did PR at a museum for six months. Then I launched a virtual company, ReachWomen, with a friend from Oregon. We discovered there weren’t many other online consulting firms for marketing to women. I also began to write for ClickZ.com. There was no pay, but I contributed an article every two weeks and got my name out there. That exposure helped me [and coauthor Lisa Johnson] get a book contract in 2002.
SD: And Don’t Think Pink was born. What is the premise? AL: A lot of traditionally male-dominated industries really don’t understand marketing to females. Many companies still believe women want a hero that rides in on a white horse. But women aren’t looking for that anymore. We fix things ourselves. Lisa and I urge businesses to try transparent marketing rather than “pink” superficiality. One of the six keys to transparency we suggest is authenticity. Honestly reveal both your strengths and weaknesses. That will help customers gain trust in the people behind the brand. SD: What other projects do you have on tap now? AL: My ClickZ.com editor is with Marketing Profs, an online publication. I’m a senior contributor. I do two case studies of companies a month, plus six or more feature stories over the course of a year. I’ve also got my own Web log — www.andrea learned.com — and I write for business publications in the United Kingdom. I speak four or five times a year at conventions or trade shows. SD: How will things change when you close the studio in December? AL: I hope to get back into painting and photography. I’ll bring The Reformer home to do Pilates. I won’t take on new clients. Another book proposal is in the beginning stages. My life is all about writing now. That means a lot of emailing and researching. The Age of the Internet is crucial to who I am. m

held the same evening as the vote. While the entire city of Winooski has 40 percent of one vote on the board, these folks have 60 percent of a vote each, and there are five of them. The appointees include the chairman of the RTA Board, the chair of the Facilities Committee, the chair of the Finance Committee and the chair of the Communication Committee. The only committee chair who is elected is the chair of the Curriculum Committee. This letter is not meant to disparage the hard work of these good people. Their passion for this project and their solid commitment of time and experience is appreciated. Yet, the public needs to know that our RTA board has been driven by a deadline created by the seller of the proposed building. It was the state building and the grounds folks who created our board’s timetable. The RTA board has not discussed costeffective satellite options. If this RTA proposal fails in November, it is my wish that the RTA board will remain committed to devising a regional technical program. It is exciting and invigorating for us to tackle educational issues as a group. Now that we truly have everyone at the table, it would be wise for us to assess our own schools’ facilities in the context of expanding and enhancing existing programs. Technical education needs the input and energy of the business community. But the business community needs to understand that representative democracy, while slower, will result in a better, and perhaps more sustainable, project. Jodi Harrington WINOOSKI
Harrington is a member of the Winooski School Board and Winooski representative to the RTA. PROGRESSIVE DEMS
You’ve had many recent articles about the Progressive Party, some of them suggesting that their influence is waning. I partly disagree. While I agree that their numbers may be diminishing, I think that they have influenced the Democratic Party to become more progressive. Case in point is Jason P. Lorber. He’s running for State Representative (as a Democrat in Burlington’s downtown and the Old North End) and is endorsed by two other Democrats who are also very progressive, Peter Clavelle and Cheryl Rivers. All three are advocates for progressive causes, and all three have the endorsements of major progressive organizations. Jason is endorsed by the Vermont Alliance of Conservation Voters and the Vermont National Education Alliance — two very progressive organizations. And, he’s one of only 50 people nationwide to be endorsed by the 21st Century
Democrats, a national progressive organization. He’s articulate and experienced, and has a track record of being a community leader. While the Progressive Party may be shifting, its impact on the Democratic Party will be long-lasting, especially if we elect people like Jason, Peter and Cheryl. Michel DuBois BURLINGTON
WINOOSKI SMOKE-OUT
As chair of the South Burlington City Council, I am pleased with the positive effects of our smoke-free ordinance. Since the ordinance took effect in May, we have heard from one bar owner that his overall business increased after the first week of the smoke-free ordinance. And the best news is that bar workers and patrons are healthier because of it. I applaud the Winooski City Council for taking action to protect the health of bar workers and patrons by passing a smokefree ordinance. This ordinance would protect workers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. I was amazed to learn that waitresses are four times more likely to die of lung cancer than women in any other profession. Secondhand smoke causes more cancer deaths than asbestos, arsenic, hazardous waste and contaminated water combined. The Winooski ordinance would protect bar workers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. The sooner smokefree ordinances are implemented, the better. We are hearing of positive reports across the country as more and more cities and states enact smoke-free workplace ordinances. As a city council member, I encourage other communities to follow those who have gone smoke-free. And as a state senator, I will work with Republican, Democrat and Progressive colleagues to finally address this issue on a statewide basis. I strongly encourage voters in Winooski to support the City Council’s action and vote “yes� on November 2 to make bars smoke-free. Jim Condos SOUTH BURLINGTON
Jim is the South Burlington City Council Chair and a Vermont State Senator running for re-election. KEOGH CONVICTIONS?
During the 2004 legislative session, Representative Bill Keogh of Burlington was one of the most adamant opponents of the bill proposing the use of medical marijuana by ill Vermonters. He was one of the main reasons there was so much time spent reviewing this legislation by the House Health and Welfare Committee while other legislation was neglected. In his role as city councilor, he opposed putting the medical
marijuana initiative on the ballot in Burlington in March 2004. That ended up passing by 85 percent of his own district (Chittenden 3-5), and by 82 percent in Burlington as a whole. Now he is claiming in his campaign literature that he “listened to voters and co-authored the law allowing medical use of marijuana for critically ill patients.� Who is this man and where does he stand? He appears to be a man who is against an issue until it is passed, and then he claims to have supported it all along. Please do not vote for Bill Keogh to represent you in Montpelier. Debbie Ramsdell CHARLOTTE
Ramsdell is the widow of a cancer victim who used medical marijuana in the last months of his life. NO TECH YET
Technical education is essential and I commend the business community for their efforts in developing the RTA proposal. Unfortunately, the two-year program now being proposed is not sufficiently different from the current system to justify the great expense it would entail in capital costs, transportation and duplication of existing academic programs. While RTA planners hope the legislature will someday approve a four-year program with degree-granting status, that is not the current reality. As a school board member, I believe we can’t take risks with taxpayers’ money based on hopes. High school principals and guidance counselors from eight of the 10 sending schools oppose this project and more than 90 percent of technical educators at the Burlington and Essex programs believe that the RTA proposal is not the best way to meet student needs. A recent survey of Burlington tech students indicated that 95 percent don’t wish to attend the proposed academy. In the interest of both our students and taxpayers, we need to take the time to nail down accurate enrollment projections. Because many area high schools are experiencing declining enrollments, we need to be especially careful not to overbuild. Why not take a regional approach to technical education utilizing more of our high school campuses rather than closing down existing centers? The RTA proposal is still a work in progress. As recently as October 20, RTA planners were disagreeing among themselves about various aspects of the program. Let’s take the time we need to get this right and vote “no� on November 2.

“APPROPRIATION”
Figures in Time
G IMAGE Matthew Thorsen
eorge W. Bush in a bunny suit? It’s not the first thing you’d expect from a ceramic artist. Especially a plush, yellow-and-pink Easter bunny: Burlington sculptor Dirk Staschke’s Republican rabbit is 34 inches tall — not including the ears — and is filled with the kind of stuffing that makes teddy bears huggable. Not that you’d want to give this guy an affectionate squeeze; the head is ceramic, and breakable. And the face is a little off-putting — Staschke has chosen that deer-in-headlights look our president wore during his recent debates with opponent John Kerry. The Bush bunny is one of a trio of “dolls” that Staschke, 33, has made for a grouping collectively titled “Land of Make Believe,” and they are part of his upcoming solo show at the Clay Art Center in Port Chester, New York. The other two figures are Bush as Santa, minus the beard and the belly that shakes like a bowlful of jelly, and Bush in a toddler-sized flight suit — the details include a yellow ascot, insignia patches and tiny black boots. For Staschke, the
More unexpected reflections on recent history are the exquisitely rendered clay corpses of Uday and Qusay — the sons of Saddam Hussein — that Staschke is creating in his Old North End Studio. “People forget that their bodies were paraded on TV,” he notes. The supine figures, about 31 inches long, look wounded but peaceful in death, and the stylized beards recall the early figurative art of Mesopotamia. Sadly, violence and warfare have been with us since before the “cradle of civilization” was rocked. But most of Staschke’s work is less overtly political, drawing on broader, timeless concepts about the human condition. He considers myth, archetypes and art history as “jumping-off points” to make “contemporary statements using older ideas and twisting them in new ways,” Staschke says, citing the postmodern credo. He also rejects as hypocritical the stigma attached to ceramic sculpture. If a “fine artist” uses clay his work is considered art, Staschke points out, but when an artist
Dirk is dealing with politics, art history and theoretical aspects and is grounded in the human form — his modeling is gorgeous. LESLIE FRY “BAROQUE 2”
“War Hero” is just as fictitious as the other characters, and anyone who might miss the insinuation has only to read his damning artist’s statement. The Bush dolls sprang from Staschke’s obsession with current events, and also represent a foray into popular culture.
with the “potter” tag makes figurative work from clay, some still dismiss it as “craft.” A close look at Staschke’s extraordinary oeuvre should dispel this outdated prejudice. His handbuilt and molded stoneware sculptures generally combine human figures — nude and “anatomical-

ly correct” — with architectural details such as cornices and pedestals. They are neutral in color and often “aged” with a crackle glaze, a fitting finish for his classic aesthetic. Staschke intends for his pieces to ask such questions as “how we as individuals fit into the larger context of society.” That notion is raised by his “Anonym Series,” which weds human heads with ornamental elements. Exhibited last spring at the Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia, the figures challenge conventional ideas about beauty, acceptance and identity. In Staschke’s “Baroque Series,” malnourished children sit or stand atop pedestals decorated in the lavish style of 17th-century Europe, with fruits and vegetables that could feed the children if only they were not both “locked in their own sculptural confines,” as Staschke puts it in his artist’s statement. “The result is an object imbued with both the trivialities of consumerism and the human suffering associated with poverty.” Staschke has shown his work only once in Vermont so far, at the 2003 South End Art Hop. He moved here from Queens, New York, just a year and a half ago when his wife, Amy, took a job at Burton — a position compatible with one of his loves: snowboarding. Vermont’s natural resources support Staschke’s other favorite pastime, too; he’s an avid flyfisherman. His flytying table has a warm berth next to the kiln in the couple’s apartment. Born in Huntsville, Alabama, Staschke got his undergraduate degree in fine art at a small liberal-arts college in that state, then headed north, to Alfred University in New York, for his Master’s. He taught at schools around New York City for eight years, and since moving to Burlington has been an instructor at the Firehouse Center and the Shelburne Craft School. The downside of his new home is that “the jobs are few and far between here,” laments Staschke. That’s why he’ll be commuting back to Alfred for a teaching gig next semester. He’s also leading a “Portrait Busts” class at the Clay Art Center next month. This summer, Winooski-based sculptor Leslie Fry solicited Staschke’s help with a public-art commission involving ceramic reliefs. The Firehouse Gallery’s first artist-in-residence, Fry was busy with multiple projects and needed someone who could work proficiently with clay. She had seen Staschke’s Art Hop exhibit and was impressed. “I like that he works within a traditional manner — he models clay, he knows anatomy really well — but that he’s tackling big subjects,” Fry says. “He’s dealing with politics, art history and theoretical aspects and is grounded in the human form — his modeling is gorgeous.”
DIRK STASCHKE Staschke is also currently represented at the Garth Clark Gallery in New York City in a show called “Bare Clay: The Nude in 20th Century Ceramics.” One of his two pieces there, “Appropriation,” is a nude male figure in crucifixion pose, with a Buddha head. Perfectly proportioned, starkly sorrowful and conceptually provocative, the sculpture illustrates both meanings of its title word: “combining two things to make something new, and to take without asking,” Staschke explains. “I view that piece as sort of an open-ended question, a global collision of cultural influence and ideas.” Such provocation was unnerving for an audience in Beijing recently, where Staschke had the opportunity to lecture at an art center. A slide of “Appropri-ation” inspired a collective gasp. One Chinese student asked Staschke whether he didn’t worry his work would anger people. “If they’re angry, they don’t understand the work,” the artist replied. For Staschke, this sculpture, just 34 inches high, carries the freight of a big concept — how culture and religion affect each other. “I have a feeling Buddha or Christ would be appalled at what passes for religion now,” he adds. In 2001, Staschke’s work to date earned him a feature in the journal Ceramics: Art and Perception. In it, critic Scott Meyer praises his works for their elegance, thoughtfulness and sometimes inscrutable commentary. “With titles like Equilibrium, Anonym and Façade, they remain as enigmatic as any of the great ruins whose complete meanings have been lost to history,” Meyer rhapsodizes. “Indeed, they pose more questions than they answer. Herein lies their meaning and their power.” Clay may be the earthiest of mediums, but in Staschke’s hands it gives shape to the loftiest of ideas. m

Political Burn Out? In these dark days of lies, mis-information campaigns and political spin isn’t it good to know there’s a credible alternative? You can vote for a party that stands 100% with working families. Government should work for regular families, not wealthy interests. Vote Progressive & keep the big-money parties on their toes! No Corporate Donations
Steve Hingtgen – for Lieutenant Governor
“After representing Burlington in the statehouse for six years it’s clear to me health care is the biggest problem we face today. Unless we have leaders dedicated to bring about a universal, self-insurance system we will continue to see premiums skyrocket, our property tax increase and our take home pay held hostage. As Lt. Governor I will work every day to make a Vermont universal health care system a reality.” www.Hingtgen.com 802 229-2099
Universal Health Care
Sue Davis – for Attorney General
“As Attorney General, I would fairly and equally enforce all of Vermont's laws; focus on issues impacting health, safety and welfare; and open the door to public input. Vermont should not be a state where justice exists only for those who can afford it. Everyone, regardless of position, status, or financial resources, must be held to the same standard. We do not need new laws, but to enforce the laws we have, without violating our rights.” 802 334-2286
Fighting for Workers’ Rights
Barbara Nolfi – for State Representative
"I have 20 years of experience serving the area represented by District 3-3. I helped start the People's Free Clinic, which became the Community Health Center. Serving on the City Council for eight years, I supported the Burlington Community Land Trust's creating more affordable housing options. As Parks and Recreation Commissioner I focus on the lake-side parks where air and water quality are a top priority. I hope to take lots of energy and experience to Montpelier and will work hard for our district." Chittenden 3-3, Burlington’s Downtown & Old North End, 658-4857
Fighting for a Clean Environment
Beckie Taylor – for State Representative
"As a teacher and social worker in my adult career, I see the daily effects of neglect in our society. I often imagine how life would be if things were different. Imagine if all people had the resources to move forward as productive citizens in life. Imagine if my neighbors and the people dear to me could afford health insurance. Now with your vote, we can help to create these dreams into reality." Chittenden 3-3, Burlington’s Downtown & Old North End, 865-4927
Protecting a Woman’s Right to Choose
Richard Kemp – for State Representative
"I would like to be your Vermont State Representative. Many of the needs of working Vermonters are not being met. Livable wage jobs, the great need for affordable housing. We can and should have a single payer health plan. I want to join with other elected officials and bring change to these issues. Your support would be appreciated. I’m sure we can do better for our citizens." Chittenden 3-5, Burlington’s South End, 862-4418
Waging Peace
Tim Nitz – for State Representative
"Working families are underrepresented in the Statehouse. It's too expensive to raise children here. Small businesses find the cost of health insurance prohibitive to growth. Our greatest natural resource – the rural character of the state – is under grave threat. We must act now for universal health care, livable wages, affordable housing, strict zoning, and green space initiatives before Vermont becomes a suburb of Connecticut." Chittenden 3-5, Burlington’s South End, 860-2808
Affordable Childcare
Bob Kiss – State Representative
"Progressives bring an independent voice to the debate in Montpelier and we put people first. Vermont has significant problems in the Dept. of Corrections, community mental health and the Vermont State Hospital. Medicaid, VHAP and related health care programs require additional funding. Section 8 housing subsidies are threatened by cuts proposed by George Bush. On issues that protect human needs it is more important than ever for Progressives to be in the State House." Chittenden 3-4, UVM & Burlington’s Old North End, 862-1297
Independent Voices
David Zuckerman – State Representative
“For the last 8 years it has been a pleasure to serve as your legislator in Montpelier. I have appreciated your support while leading the efforts on regulating GMO's and securing passage of a medical marijuana law. I look forward to continuing to represent you as an independent voice to fight for working Vermonters: real universal healthcare, affordable housing, safe food, death with dignity and election reform to put more control back into voters’ hands.” Chittenden 3-4, UVM & Burlington’s Old North End, 863-2199

fight of her life against GOP newcomer Randy Brock. Trust me, the Republicans haven’t counted Chainsaw Liz out. Prediction: Brock wins a squeaker. Overlooked Official — A few weeks back we made our first predictions: Leahy for U.S. Senate. Bernie for Congress. Deb Markowitz for secretary of state, Jeb Spaulding for treasurer. Easy calls. But one reader called us concerned we might know something he didn’t. You see, we’d left out one state official who in the minds of many should win easily on November 2. The reader was Democratic Attorney General Bill Sorrell. He sounded nervous when he called. We assured him it was just an oversight. We’d discovered no ghosts in his closet. Glad to know our top law enforcement officer is so vigilant, eh? Speaking of Sorrell — It sounds like a script for a sitcom. Our attorney general says the Republican Governors Association has been breaking Vermont law by flooding our TV airwaves with ads exhalting Jim Douglas as the greatest leader Vermont’s ever seen. But General Wild Bill says there’s not a damn thing he can do about it. “The shame is,” Sorrell told Seven Days, “our campaignfinance law was designed just to avoid these big-dollar contribution organizations coming in here and having a dramatic impact on our elections.” The RGA, fueled by $50,000 from the big insurance companies, defense contractors and drug companies, has dumped $300,000 on TV ads exhalting our beloved Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. It’s not supposed to happen, but it did. Gen. Sorrell, however, won’t charge the RGA because of a legal principle called estoppel. The gist of it is that, since RGA attorneys claim they called the secretary of state’s office in advance and got the green light, Sorrell has to let them off the hook. “The folks at the elections division say they get all kinds of these calls,” Sorrell told us. “They can’t say that it didn’t happen. And they have no recollection of an attorney calling on behalf of the RGA.” Noting the RGA is represented by “high-priced counsel from out of state,” Gen. Billy said, “We assume that the conversation took place. We don’t think they identified themselves very clearly and we’re not sure exactly what they said about their organization, but we’re accepting it as what they say.” Yes, I know. Very weird. It sounds a little like: “Officer, I know that’s marijuana in the little plastic bag, but I swear I called the criminal division of the attorney general’s office and was told by someone whose name I don’t remember that it’s OK in Vermont to possess less than an ounce of pot.” Fat chance, eh? The Democrats and the Clavelle Campaign are trying to
get the matter before a judge, but the damage has been done. Meanwhile, the beneficiary, Gov. Scissorhands, says he knew nothing in advance about the illegal RGA TV blitz. Under the law, he points out, he’s not allowed to know or communicate with outside soft-money groups. When asked by Ch. 3’s Anson Tebbetts if the ads violated Vermont’s campaign-finance law, Douglas ducked the question. Instead, he claimed Vermont’s Democratic Party gets big-bucks out-of-state contributions, too. Nice for Vermonters to know they’ve got a governor who coddles lawbreakers, eh? There’s no sign Mayor Moonie is going to make an issue of it. Instead, Mr. Clavelle is still promising to end the Iraq War and stop the draft from starting up. Clavelle for Congress! Speaking of the Draft — Unfortunately, last week’s riot by University of Vermont students was not related to the War in Iraq. Instead, it was about the Red Sox beating the New York Yankees. Good clean fun. At least, unlike in Beantown, no college student died after being shot by police during the victory celebration. The midnight student riot — caught on tape by an on-the-ball WCAX-TV crew — is the biggest black eye Groovy UV’s gotten since the scandalous Men’s Ice Hockey Hazing Scandal. Remember the “elephant walk,” folks? This was more like an out-ofcontrol herd of chimpanzees. And unfortunately, the zookeepers, i.e., the UVM administration, didn’t have a clue anything like it would erupt in their student section. Burlington Police Lt. Emett Helrich was the shift supervisor that fateful night. Emmett’s a Yankees fan, blessed with Detective Andy Sipowicz-like street smarts. He anticipated the last game of the American League pennant race might cause a little trouble around downtown’s watering holes. Helrich alerted neighboring PDs of possible trouble and kept a few officers on overtime from the earlier shift. When the game ended, said Lt. Helrich, “The bars emptied out and everybody was beautiful! They were bouncing up and down, being Red Sox fans.” They chanted, “Who’s your daddy?” and “Yankees suck.” “No one was unruly,” said Helrich. Hey, let’s hear it for the owners and staff of our licensed establishments, eh? “Then we get the call from UVM that they need help,” said Lt. Helrich. First he sent four cops. Then came a call for more help and he sent an additional six, along with himself. He vividly remembers what he saw — “an obscene mob.” “They acted like hooligans, running around in herds setting fires and knocking over lampposts.” UVM President Dan Fogel told Seven Days the administration had no idea a Red Sox victory might spark a full-blown campus riot. “It was an unprecedented
2x8-Flynn101304
event,” said UVM’s Danny Boy. “We have never had a disturbance like this before around an athletic celebration.” Fogel was aware, however, that American society has seen an uptick of violent sports-related celebrations in recent years, like the one in Detroit following the Pistons NBA championship victory. Somebody call the psychology department! “We’re thankful no one was hurt,” said Fogel. “We will be better prepared next time.” On Tuesday, UVM announced five students were criminally charged for their Red Sox monkey business. More arrests are expected.

Correction — Last week yours truly incorrectly identified Progressive Party lite-gov hopeful Steve Hingtgen as a “Republican.” A typo… or was it? You see, I’ve known Hingtgen for years and am very much aware of his party affiliation. And so are the two Seven Days editors and one proofreader who see this column every week, including the one with the Progressive Party housemate and the one with the progressive boyfriend. Nonetheless, every single one of us missed the “Republican” label on Stevie. A few Proggies who noticed were outraged. How did it happen? Best guess — a political Freudian slip. A vote for Steve, after all, is a vote for Dubie the Republican. Everybody — well, almost everybody — knows it. Sorry, Steve. m

Stop the Presses — Local developers are pulling their hair out! Layoffs are just around the bend! The biggest unreported major story in Chittenden County is that the recent Water Resources Board decision on stormwater means there will be no — repeat, no — new significant commercial or residential development in the county for the next several years. That’s according to someone who ought to know — Ernie Pomerleau of Pomerleau Real Estate, a major Vermont shopping center/big-box developer. It’s Ernie’s site in South Burlington where the construction of a new Lowe’s Home Center was halted by the WRB. Environmental groups, led by the Conservation Law Foundation — www.clf.org — are touting the Vermont decision as a landmark case with national implications. Local developers are now required to get permits under the Federal Clean Water Act. Under federal requirements, said Pomerleau, not one drop of new pollution run-off will be allowed. It’s an impossible standard, he said, and development has quietly come to a grinding halt in Vermont’s wealthiest county. “If you’re totally against growth, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread,” said Pomerleau. “We have to go nuclear!” Stay tuned.

It was Thompson’s way of protesting the lack of “serious ideas” in American politics, and it marked the end of her eminence as a writer and pundit — “the best reporter this generation has seen in any country,” as her colleague John Gunther remarked, “and that is not saying nearly enough.” What could say enough?

guy and political stunt-man in America made jokes at her expense. “Dorothy Thompson is perhaps the only person in the United States who makes a career out of stewing publicly about the state of the world,” said Jack Alexander, a well-known magazine writer of the time. “She ingests the cosmos and personalizes its pains.” Sir Wilmott Lewis, Washington correspondent for The Times of London, quipped that Thompson had “discovered the secret of perpetual emotion,” while Alice Roosevelt Longworth, in a line that has been famous ever since, declared that Dorothy was “the only woman in history who has had her menopause in public and made it pay.” Thompson was also called “a breast-beating Boadicea,” in one report, “wet nurse to destiny,” “our self-appointed anti-fascist Joan of Arc,” combining “the seeing eye of Cassandra and the appearance of Brünnhilde with the gusto of General Patton and the holy fire of a crusading apostle.” Dorothy Thompson was the model for “Tess Harding,” the chic, sexy, globe-trotting foreign correspondent and newspaper columnist, first portrayed by Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year (1942) — Hepburn’s first film teaming with Spencer Tracy — and later by Lauren Bacall in the Broadway musical Applause. In her off-moments, Thompson confessed to friends that she had
August 1934. The German Foreign Ministry, on Hitler’s order, had actually established something called “The Dorothy Thompson Emergency Squad,” whose job it was to translate and monitor every word she wrote against the Nazi regime. These were plenty: Of the quarter-million words she wrote between 1938 and 1940 — and these don’t include her radio talks or her lecture programs — threefifths were devoted to attacking Hitler and the cowards who sustained him. “As far as I can see,” Thompson remarked after her expulsion from Berlin, “I really was put out of Germany for the crime of blasphemy. My offense was to think that Hitler is just an ordinary man, after all. This is a crime against the reigning cult in Germany, which says that Mr. Hitler is a Messiah sent by God to save the German people — an old Jewish idea.” She had met and interviewed Hitler for the first time in 1931, in Munich, where she was so bowled over by his “utter insignificance” that she “considered taking smelling salts” to keep from fainting. In her columns, she worried a great deal about “the Common Man. The Common Man is important,” she explained, “because there are so many of him.” “There was a lot of fussiness connected with the preparations,” Thompson remembered about her first tea with Adolf. “Not, some-
in the same way that you think — as you’ve been conditioned to think — that modern journalism began with Edward R. Murrow. Dorothy Thompson is lost to history — the general fate, I suspect, of any woman who makes waves without screwing people, and the specific fate of a woman so famous in her time for her boldness that her second husband, Nobel Prizewinner Sinclair Lewis, author of Main Street, Babbitt, Dodsworth and It Can’t Happen Here, declared that if he and Dorothy were ever divorced, he’d name “Adolf Hitler as correspondent.” “Red is so funny,” Thompson said, using Lewis’ universal nickname. She kicked him out, finally, not over Hitler, but drunkenness. The houses they lived in during their summers in Vermont — two of them, originally, called “Twin Farms” — have since been reduced to one by fire, and that one is now such a madly expensive “bed-andbreakfast,” a “resort so upscale,” as a recent AP travel story puts it, that you need at least $1000 a day just to stay in one of its outbuildings — none of which were there when Thompson was. And that’s without meals. And that’s without wine. Neither will the Lewis estate allow the names of Dorothy Thompson and Sinclair Lewis to be used in any sort of promotion for this money-drenched thing. There is — or at least was — a plaque at Twin Farms, which
There is a definite technique in the propaganda of establishing fascism; that is, in the propaganda of destroying republican, representative government. The technique is to destroy the unity in society by setting one group against another group, one man against his neighbor. The way to do that is to cast suspicion upon his patriotism. And to go on doing so until patriotism becomes the monopoly of a single group, who then entrench themselves in power to save the people from themselves. DOROTHY THOMPSON

always wanted to be “blonde and kittenish,” but could never do it. She was also a Vermonter, a resident of Barnard, just north of Woodstock. And you’ve never heard of her, have you? Thought not. But why? I was Dorothy Thompson’s biographer, some years ago, and while I imagined that my book about her, American Cassandra (Little, Brown, 1990), must resurrect her in the public mind, it never did. The reviews were terrific, the features prominent, the gratitude immense from her surviving family and friends. “Dorothy Thompson!” George Seldes cried to me one day in Hartland — “What a woman!” They weren’t just neighbors in Vermont, but had been cub reporters together in Berlin in the 1920s. Both had chronicled the rise of the Nazis for American newspapers, but it was Thompson, not Seldes, who was the first to be kicked out of Germany when Hitler came to power. Indeed, she was the first foreign correspondent in Europe to whom any such thing had ever happened. “Nazism has once more demonstrated its utter inability to understand any mentality but its own,” said The New York Times in its front-page story — this was
how, what one would expect from a man to whom The Deed is everything.” The Nazis altogether she regarded as “a lot of wavyhaired bugger-boys,” “pinkcheeked mediocrities,” making “a fetish out of brotherhood” and in thrall to a homoerotic exaltation. “He is formless,” she wrote about Hitler, “almost faceless, a man whose countenance is a caricature, a man whose framework seems cartilaginous, without bones. He is inconsequent and voluble, ill-poised, insecure. He is the very prototype of the Little Man. …Looking at Hitler, I saw a whole panorama of German faces; men whom this man thinks he will rule. And I thought: Mr. Hitler, you may get, in the next elections, the fifteen million votes you need. But fifteen million Germans CAN be wrong.” Later, when the full force of Nazism had crashed over Europe, Thompson was asked to defend her “Little Man” remark. “I still believe he is a little man,” she replied. “He is the apotheosis of the little man.” Nazism itself was “the apotheosis of collective mediocrity in all its forms.” And you still haven’t heard of her, have you? No, you’ve got Hannah Arendt’s “banality of evil,”
George Seldes got up, announcing that “in this house, Nobel Prizewinner Sinclair Lewis wrote It Can’t Happen Here.” OK, George, fine, wherever you are. But you know and I know that without “Miss Thompson,” Sinclair Lewis would never have written or even dreamed about It Can’t Happen Here. All his biographers admit it; all of Dorothy’s are sure of it. And as America, in this next week, makes a choice between an evil neofascism under George W. Bush and a “let’s-try-it-on-and-see-if-it-works” democracy under John Kerry — it is Thompson’s words, not Lewis’, that need engraving on a plaque. Please, listen to these: I know now that there are things for which I am prepared to die. I am willing to die for political freedom; for the right to give my loyalty to ideals above a nation and above a class; for the right to teach my child what I think to be the truth; for the right to explore such knowledge as my brains can penetrate; for the right to love where my mind and heart admire, without reference to some dictator’s code; for the right to work with others of like mind; for a society that seems to me becoming to the dignity of the human race.

A STORY
CATHY RESMER Woodchuck Warrior: Journal of a Vietnam Vet, October 30, Chandler Music Hall, Randolph; November 6 & 12-13, Montpelier City Hall; November 19-20, Hyde Park Opera House, various times.
l Boright witnessed his first casualty in 1969, shortly after he arrived in Vietnam as an Army lieutenant. The 58-year-old Middlesex-based legislative counsel — who was 23 at the time — describes the experience in his new one-man show, Woodchuck Warrior: Journal of a Vietnam Vet. The show is a change of pace from both of Boright’s regular jobs: by day, he writes Vermont’s laws — he personally produced six 100-page drafts of permit-reform legislation. By night, well, he’s better known for his theatrical antics, playing a radio host in the semiannual comedy variety show, The Ground Hog Opry. In the two-hour Woodchuck Warrior, Boright weaves together anecdotes, letters, journal entries and songs to explore his mixed emotions about the war he fought more than 30 years ago. His witty narrative captures the moral ambiguity of war from a wisecracking soldier’s perspective — a particularly powerful and timely piece of theater as the country grapples with another controversial conflict, this time in Iraq. Boright’s memory of the first fallen soldiers he saw in Vietnam is typical of most of his recollections of Army life — there’s nothing black-and-white about it. He tells it as an anecdote, sitting on a chair in the center of the stage surrounded by a few props: a fold-up Army cot, the several hats and shirts he uses as costumes, and his guitar. He doesn’t use any toy guns. “I don’t have a rifle,” he comments in an interview before the show’s debut last weekend in Waterbury. “I hate guns.” He explains that the deadly firepower display was part of his unit’s orientation. They watched as soldiers demonstrated the artillery, which might be called in to shell the enemy during battle. The explosions disturbed Boright, who opposed the war, but they also awed him. “It was a combination of Thunder Road and the Fourth of July,” he quips. He acknowledges that, at the time, he felt gratitude for the massive American guns. He
recalls thinking, “This firepower might get me back to Vermont someday.” But as a Blackhawk helicopter roared overhead, he saw it bank too steeply into a turn. It crashed. Both of the men on board were killed. Telling this story, Boright leans forward in his austere wooden chair, his old soldier’s face dominated by a mop of gray hair, a gray mustache and bushy eyebrows. Staring straight into the audience, he doesn’t tell us what to think about it or how to interpret it. He says, simply, “Welcome to the front. Welcome to Vietnam.” Boright revisits this incident at the end of his show’s first act, which details how he got to the war zone. A Morrisville native, Boright won a scholarship to Harvard. During his senior year there, in 1968, he learned that his was the number-two name on the draft board list back home. He decided to enlist rather than be conscripted, in hopes of delaying his entry into the war. Despite his reluctance to fight, Boright never considered refusing to go. He explains that, as a Boy Scout, he had learned, “When you’re put in a line, you stay in line… and when your turn comes, it’s your turn.” Most of the show’s funnier moments occur in the first act. Boright elicits laughs when describing his Army physical — including an inspection by “the pecker checker.” And he’s not above resorting to physical comedy — he pulls down his pants during the physical scene to reveal some white boxers covered in red lips and the word “Kiss.” Most impressively, he gives an athletic song-and-dance rendition of highlights from a musical he wrote during Officer Candidate School called “My Favorite Smart-Ass Candidate.” Boright, who wrote his first musical in fifth grade, penned the lyrics while sitting on the backs of troop trucks. He dons several different hats during the mini play-within-a-play, to sing his own ver>> 27A

sions of “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things” (rewritten to include the Army’s 14 traits of good leadership), and “If I Only Had a Brain” (a song about career Army officers, known as lifers). But the comedy contrasts sharply with Boright’s letters and journal entries. He reads one from February 13, 1969, in which he meditates on the assassination of Robert Kennedy, and confronts his own mortality. “I’ve been thinking lately about the possibility of actually dying,” he writes. Boright wisely places this heavy scene between a funny anecdote about watching patriotic training films and the performance of his mini-musical. The
been overtly current-eventsfocused,” he insists, “but it’s interesting how some of the stuff I wrote back in those days seems relevant today.” But Boright would prefer not to interpret Vietnam, or the current political climate, for his audience; he wants them to draw their own conclusions. “We’re all trying to figure out what Vietnam means,” he says. “I’m still trying to do that, too. Maybe just sort of putting my experience out there might add to the discussion. Maybe people can find meaning in it for themselves.” Vermont Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Skoglund, who has performed with Boright in The Ground Hog Opry, plans to
Boright’s memory of the first casualty he witnessed in Vietnam is typical of most of his recollections of Army life — there’s nothing black-and-white about it. juxtaposition makes the piece both entertaining and poignant. The second act has fewer comic interludes — once Boright got to Vietnam, there was less to laugh about. In Act II, he describes the very unfunny process of planting Claymore mines, and explains how to call in artillery fire. The big downer is that he gets seriously wounded. Not surprisingly, though, he manages to find some scatological humor in his long recovery process. He follows up the anecdote about his shooting with a song he wrote during his sophomore year at Harvard. “Oh, Daddy, Daddy, tell me,” he croons, “what does it mean to kill? / Oh, Daddy, Daddy, tell me, what does it mean to die? / Our leaders can’t be wrong, because God is on our side.” It’s chilling to consider that as Boright sings about the past, U.S. soldiers are facing similar situations overseas. He says the timing was entirely coincidental. Two years ago, his sister gave him some letters he sent her while he was in the service, and he started to write down some of his memories. The Ground Hog Opry was on hiatus this year, so he had time to put it all together. He says he didn’t consciously intend the show to comment, even obliquely, on the war in Iraq, but he concedes that a comparison is inescapable. “I haven’t
see the show. She got to read most of his material in book form before he started performing it, and she describes it as both “hysterical” and “horrifying.” “It was stuff I had never known about him,” Skoglund says. “It was, like, laugh-out-loud funny and then, like, ‘Oh my God.’ …I’m assuming this is going to be a fantastic show.” Ground Hog Opry founder George Woodard helped Boright stage his performance. “It’s pretty easy to stay with it,” the plainspoken farmer/actor says of Woodchuck Warrior, “and — it’s not lawyer-talk at all.” Woodard notes that, for someone like him who never served in the armed forces, it’s “interesting to listen to.” Audiences will have a chance to catch a show over the next four weekends, as Boright marches his Woodchuck Warrior to Chandler Music Hall in Randolph, Montpelier City Hall and Hyde Park Opera House. The Vermont vet hopes that by sharing his experiences, he’ll be able to create something positive out of one of the most difficult times in his life. And regardless of how audiences react to his show, it’s inspiring that he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. Even after an emotional two-and-ahalf-hour rehearsal performance, he can’t resist cracking a joke about his solo sojourn: “I think the cast party is going to be just a drag.” 쩾

ormer U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich vividly remembers the nausea he felt the first time he met Bill Clinton. It was 1968, and Reich and Clinton were both Rhodes Scholars STORY aboard the ocean liner, SS United KEN States, en route to Oxford University. PICARD “The Atlantic in the first week of October tends to be fairly turbulent, so halfway across I got dreadfully seaReich speaks at the Ross Sports sick,” Reich recalls. “I retired to my Center, St. Michael’s cabin thinking I would die.

My first impulse at seeing the crackers and chicken soup was to vomit.” It would be years before Clinton coined his signature line, “I feel your pain.” But that less-than-auspicious introduction was the start of an ongoing dialogue between the two men that would last another 30 years. In 1992, when President-elect Clinton assumed the helm of the ship of state, he brought Reich aboard to lead his economic transition team. In early 1993, Reich was appointed Secretary of Labor, a position he held until 1997. During his tenure, Reich oversaw a number of landmark initiatives to benefit American workers, including the Retirement Protection Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the first increase in the minimum wage since 1989. He also launched significant efforts to crack down on sweatshop labor, unsafe workplaces, and pension and health-insurance fraud. Reich, who is 58, is co-founder and editor of The American Prospect magazine and has written 10 books, including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into at least 22
languages. He is currently the Maurice B. Hexter Professor of Social and Economic Policy at Brandeis University. Last year, Reich was awarded the prestigious Vaclav Havel Prize in Prague for his contributions to global thinking and culture. Over the years, he’s served as a consultant to a number of foreign governments and labor unions, and next month heads to Australia at the request of that country’s Labor Council. Reich now serves as an informal advisor to Senator John Kerry. Last week, he spoke at length with Seven Days before this week’s Vermont visit, which was sponsored by the Vermont Council on World Affairs.
that was a wise decision? ROBERT REICH: First of all, I think Governor Dean played a hugely important role in developing the Democratic message and in inspiring millions of voters, many of them young voters who had not been involved in politics before. And his influence is still felt. So I don’t look upon John Kerry’s nomination as repudiation in any way of the enormous contributions Governor Dean made. When it comes to nominating a candidate, parties have a tendency to move toward the center …There are substantial differences between John Kerry and George Bush on foreign policy and domestic policy. But
these days when it’s so difficult for polling organizations to actually get through to people on the telephone, when so many people have cell phones and caller ID. And also when it’s so difficult to tell whether someone is a likely voter. This election is going to be decided by turnout, by the people who are sufficiently motivated to go to the polls. So the race may not be nearly as tight as the polls are showing it to be. SD: But even if it’s somewhat close, does that reflect a failure on the part of the Democrats to deliver a clear and consistent message?
I hope I’m not irking too many Vermonters when I say that big agricultural subsidies to large agribusiness makes very little economic or social sense. SEVEN DAYS: There was a time in the not-too-distant past when Vermonters felt like they were shaping the national debate because our former governor was ahead in the polls. At the time, it seemed like Howard Dean was leading a grassroots, populist movement to galvanize the Left and take back America. But once John Kerry became the presumptive nominee, it felt like the Democratic Party lurched back to the center out of fear of alienating swing voters. Do you think
when Democratic voters ultimately came to make a decision, they did what they often do, and that is choose someone they believe has the best chance overall to beat the Republican. SD: This year, the choice for president couldn’t be any more stark. But with all the ammunition the Democrats have at their disposal to challenge Bush’s record, are you surprised that the polls show this race as close as it is? RR: I am a bit, although one learns to be skeptical of the polls, especially
RR: Well, you can bet that if Kerry loses, there will be a lot of Monday morning quarterbacks saying the message should have been this or that. On the other hand, if he wins, the campaign will be deemed brilliant. He will be known as the greatest strategist since Bill Clinton. Much in politics is decided in hindsight. So I guess my assessment, honestly, is that, given that right-wing radio and television are so uniformly pro-Bush and so vehemently attacking John Kerry, and given the highly disciplined media machine of this White House, I’m not surprised that much of

the public has bought into the deceptions of this administration, ranging from the assertion that Iraq is critical to the War on Terror to the mind-blowing assertion that the Bush tax cut has generated a surging economic recovery. George Orwell understood the principle very well: If you tell a big lie often enough, some people will start believing it. SD: During the presidential debates, President Bush talked about addressing job loss by promoting better education for American workers. And you yourself have written that we’ve “underinvested in our people” and need to promote more higher education to create upward mobility. But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, seven of the 10 fastest-growing jobs in the next decade will require only a high school diploma and onthe-job training. Is there a point to educating American workers if the jobs being created for them pay low wages, offer no benefits and don’t require a college education? RR: Yes. The president was confused — let’s put it generously — between the issue of the number of jobs created and a very different issue, which is how much jobs pay. This has been an anemic job recovery in terms of jobs. Education has very little to do with generating more jobs. The way you generate more jobs is you have a strong economic recovery. The way you do that is the government stimulates the
economy adequately. A tax cut for the rich doesn’t stimulate the economy because the rich already buy as much as they want to buy. That’s the very definition of being rich. So, the Bush tax cut was a terribly inefficient way of stimulating the economy and had the unfortunate side effect of widening the budget deficit considerably. Switch gears and focus on the quality of jobs and the amount of money a job earns. The Bureau of Labor Statistics merely extrapolates its predictions on the basis of who has what job now. The problem over the long term is not that Americans will lack jobs. The problem is that if you simply extrapolate from the present, most of those jobs are going to be paying very little. We need to rebuild our middle class and create good jobs in this country. You do that by providing people with adequate early childhood education, good schools, access to higher education, research and development for our universities and industries so that new fields can be developed, incentives to train workers on the job, and many other provisions. [On this issue] this administration has done little or nothing. SD: One of Vermonters’ biggest concerns on the jobs front is outsourcing. Obviously, we’re living in an increasingly integrated global economy and that’s not likely to change. From your perspective, should we simply accept that certain jobs
won’t be done in the United States anymore and that our economy and workers must adapt to this new reality? RR: Outsourcing is part of a larger pattern that began decades ago when manufacturing jobs began moving overseas. Many of those jobs would have gone in any event. Others have been automated away. That is, if they didn’t go overseas, they would have been replaced by software. The answer isn’t to preserve and protect the old jobs. It’s to make sure that Americans get a substantial share of the good new jobs. If you look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ listing of jobs in 1978 and compare it to today’s list, you’ll see that about a quarter of the jobs today were not even dreamt of in 1978. There’s constant job change. But are we preparing enough of our people for the good jobs of the future? I think not. I’m not saying that outsourcing is not a problem, although it represents only a small fraction of today’s high-technology jobs. It should be a warning bell to us that over the next 15 or 20 years, if we don’t maintain our lead in research and development at our universities, our high-tech centers, our infrastructure, then we are not going to have a high proportion of the good jobs of the future. SD: Then why has so much been made of outsourcing in recent years? RR: When manufacturing drifted abroad over the last 25 years, much was said of it during recessions, but manufacturing workers
didn’t have nearly the political clout or visibility of professional and high-tech workers. Professional and high-tech workers during this last recession took a beating. Naturally, the movement of some of those jobs to India and China has caused a lot of worrying. But the numbers are still pretty small, relative to the total number of professional and high-tech jobs in the United States. College graduates are still earning good wages and, indeed, their median earnings continue to move upward at a rapid clip, both in absolute terms and relative to the median earnings of high school grads. I don’t want to suggest that outsourcing isn’t a problem at all. But it’s not nearly the problem that it may seem to be from the depths of a recession that is slow to fade. SD: Can you explain what effect the $413 billion federal deficit will have on Vermonters’ quality of life? RR: It’s already affecting their lives because Vermonters are paying interest on that debt right now. A portion of the taxes they pay to the federal government goes to pay fairly wealthy Americans and foreigners who have lent the U.S. government money. Those are tax dollars that are not going to schools or roads or job training or homeland security. They’re going to interest payments. Eventually, those huge deficits are going to have to be paid and Vermonters will bear part of that burden. So it’s not only a tax today in terms of interest payments. It’s a tax
tomorrow in terms of paying that debt off one way or the other. It means we get back less for our taxes. SD: Would you describe yourself as a free-trade advocate? RR: Not exactly. I believe that there needs to be labor and environmental standards in trade treaties. I think we have to vigorously enforce our trade laws. But I don’t believe we should provide huge subsidies to American industries in order to keep them competitive. I hope I’m not irking too many Vermonters when I say that big agricultural subsidies to large agribusiness makes very little economic or social sense. One of the problems with the current administration is that so much of the budget has gone toward corporate welfare …The recent corporate tax bill is a scandal. And all of this means less money for education, job training, social services, low-income housing, homeland security. It’s just fiscally irresponsible. SD: Congressman Bernie Sanders has said that our current trade agreements aren’t helping the working class and suggests that we repeal NAFTA and our current trade deals with China and negotiate new ones. Do you agree or disagree? RR: I disagree. I think we do have to have labor and environmental standards in our trade agreements, but no one has shown that NAFTA is responsible >> 30A

for our manufacturing decline. Most of the new manufacturing jobs are occurring in China, not in Mexico. And many of those manufacturing losses are due to technology. NAFTA has had very little effect relative to these other forces. As to China, we do need to enforce our trade agreements. So I’m not a raving free-trader by any stretch. I think protectionism is dangerous and ill-advised. It doesn’t deal with the fundamental problem, which is that too many our workers are not prepared for the jobs of the future.
tor pay significantly less than the jobs we’ve lost. RR: Yes, and that’s a huge problem. But that’s not necessarily because we’ve gone from manufacturing to services. There are many, many high-paying service jobs in the United States, ranging from advertising to design, marketing, people services, financial services, engineering. These are all service jobs, but they tend to pay very well. The most important distinction is not between manufacturing and service. It’s between high-wage service and low-wage service.
SD: NAFTA has been around for over a decade. Do you think it’s delivered on its promises? RR: No. NAFTA was grossly oversold. Neither the benefits its proponents projected nor the costs its opponents feared have nearly come to pass. China became a much larger manufacturing center much sooner than anyone anticipated. Partly, it’s because trade doesn’t either create or destroy jobs, it reallocates them. And those who said that NAFTA would create a lot of new jobs in the United States
SD: As our economy becomes more globalized and decisions about wages and working conditions are increasingly made at the international level, where do you see unions fitting in? RR: Unions are critically important in the local service sector, and I say that because in the local service sector, workers need more bargaining leverage. At the same time, they’re not competing with workers from other countries. Nor are they, in general, competing with tech-

SD: Besides the economic impact of outsourcing, do you have other concerns about jobs going to other countries? RR: We used to worry a great deal about the loss of our technological edge. But if you examine the issue closely, you’ll see that our technological edge depends on our own public investments in everything ranging from basic research and development to public higher education. It’s not a zero-sum game, in which there’s a certain number of high technologies to be parceled out around the world. There’s no necessary limit on the ingenuity of the human mind. The question is, where are innovative things done around the world? If you look to the future economy of Vermont, the question is, what are Vermonters able to do that contributes to an increasingly integrated global economy? What’s the value that Vermonters will be adding to that economy? SD: In the last four years, Vermont has lost about 10,000 manufacturing jobs, and many of the jobs we’re creating in the service sec-
nology. Two of the most successful unions nationally have been the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) and HERE (Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees). Construction trades have also been quite successful in unionizing. Again, this is one very important way that local service sector workers can improve their wages. SD: So, do you see unions becoming more or less relevant in the global economy? RR: The trend has been downward. In 1955, 35 percent of American workers were unionized. Today, fewer than 8 percent of private-sector workers are unionized. So, if you’re only looking at the trend lines, you would have to conclude that they are having less influence. But, if you look more closely at the areas where they have gained bargaining leverage, those tend to be in local service industries: Las Vegas hotels, Los Angeles hospitals, custodial and janitor services in New York. These are jobs that in the past paid very low wages and these people need more bargaining leverage. So in these sectors, unionization has been a big success story.

SD: There’s been some talk in Vermont recently about the issue of corporate personhood, the ability of corporations to claim the same constitutional rights as living, breathing human beings. Do you think this is a problem that needs to be addressed? RR: Yes. Corporations are not people. People are people. Workers and managers and investors in corporations are people. But corporations themselves should not have the rights of people. I think that we get into trouble as a country when we assign personhood rights to entities that are legal fictions. For example, the idea that corporations have a freespeech right is a mischievous one. The Supreme Court decided that they did, but that conclusion ought to be challenged …One of the large and growing problems we have in this country is with the great concentrations of economic power. The large corporation represents one such example. Another example is the media conglomerate. If we’re not careful, we could lose our democracy. SD: As you travel internationally, have you noticed a difference in attitudes towards the United States compared to the Clinton years? RR: Yes, a big difference. Most people I met abroad were very fond of Bill Clinton, and still are. They liked the Clinton administration. Most of the people I come in contact with outside the United States today are quite negative about the United States, and in particular, the Bush administration …It’s like night and day. Immediately after 9/11 there was a great outpouring of world support and commiseration with the United States. After the invasion of Iraq, world opinion turned very sour, and it’s still very sour. SD: Has it affected their willingness to do business with us? RR: To some extent, yes. I’ve encountered a number of business executives who are involved in international business deals of various sorts who tell me they play down their American citizenship and play up their international credentials. And it’s also true with several retail products. I ran into a business executive recently from a big apparel manufacturer who told me that they’ve changed their advertising and marketing strategy to minimize any connection with the United States …It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage that’s been done over the last four years. 쩾

Shakespeare in Jest Theater review: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
R STORY
KRISTEN EATON Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, produced by the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company. Flynn MainStage, Burlington, October 29, 8 p.m.
osencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead isn’t the cheeriest of titles. And it doesn’t leave much in the way of suspense, either. The audience may hold out hope that the title is purely metaphorical, but though playwright Tom Stoppard is happy to turn Shakespeare’s Hamlet inside out, he’s not about to change plot points. Weston Playhouse’s current production of Stoppard’s play shows that, whatever the title characters’ fate, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a lively comedy that lives up to its reputation as significant drama. And the play does have a reputation. Originally performed in 1966 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, R&G made the leap to the Old Vic Theatre in London by the next year. That made Stoppard, then 29, the youngest playwright to have his work produced by the National Theatre Company. To date, he’s written more than a dozen plays and screenplays. Shakespeare in Love, perhaps the most publicized of his recent works, won him and cowriter Marc Norman an Oscar.
his young brother popped onto his throne and into his sheets, thereby offending both legal and natural practice.” Not only has Hamlet’s Uncle Claudius killed and supplanted Hamlet’s father, the king, but Claudius has also married Hamlet’s mother. Upon finding himself in this tricky situation, Hamlet decides buy himself some time by feigning madness. Enter Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, summoned by Claudius and directed to discover the cause of Hamlet’s apparent insanity. Claudius believes the two to be Hamlet’s college chums, but Hamlet only upbraids them for spying on him. A troupe of actors, a.k.a. players, arrives, and Hamlet has them stage a play depicting Claudius’ murder of Hamlet’s father, engendering the line, “The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the King.” Claudius understands that Hamlet suspects the truth and sends him away to be executed in England; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern accompany the prince, carrying a sealed letter from Claudius that will
Crane and Altheide show that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are really just a couple of regular guys, trapped by the system and wondering what it’s all about. But Stoppard is probably still best known for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, a play now common in high school curricula. It’s often read both as an adaptation of Hamlet and alongside Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, as an example of an absurdist and/or existentialist work. The plot of Hamlet, set in medieval Denmark, provides the framework for R&G. As Stoppard’s Rosencrantz puts it, “To sum up: Your father, whom you love, dies, you are his heir, you come back to find that hardly was the corpse cold before
ensure Hamlet’s fate. But Hamlet discovers the letter and exchanges it for a forged order to the English to kill Rosencrantz and Guildenstern; then he escapes back to Denmark. Much bloodshed ensues and, near the end of the play, an English ambassador enters and proclaims that the directive has been followed: “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.” Stoppard’s play brings Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s minor roles front and center. By doing so, he takes Hamlet, a play in which every character knows his place

in the scheme of things, and turns it into a play about two guys who can’t quite figure out what’s going on — a much more modern story. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern remain on stage at all times. Occasionally, other characters from Hamlet pass through, and the characters speak Shakespeare’s lines; otherwise, Stoppard writes in his own modern but rich prose. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have little in the way of memories; they seem to know only that they were sent for. Even their identities are in question; no one else can keep their names straight and, soon enough, they can’t, either. As Guildenstern says, “We know only what we’re told, and that’s little enough. And for all we know it isn’t even true.” They find themselves caught up in the great wheel of fortune of Shakespeare’s tragedy. This is, in short, a game of chess seen from the point of view of the pawns. But while the major players make their moves, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern must while away the time. They play games — often word games — and make metaphysical speculations about, for example, whether the fact that they just flipped several dozen coins and got “heads” every time means that there’s some sort of glitch in reality. They conjecture about what’s wrong with Hamlet; Guildenstern pretends to answer for Hamlet while Rosencrantz interrogates. And they have an occasional conversation with the players — the only other characters with whom Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are able to interact outside the text of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Despite the trouble everyone has keeping their names straight,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern clearly have different personalities. Michael Crane (Rosencrantz) and Eric Altheide (Guildenstern) have an almost Ben Affleck/Matt Damon rapport. Crane, the scruffier, zanier of the two, is dark-haired and wears a black leather jacket. Altheide, the introspective straight man, is clean-shaven with short, light-brown hair. Stoppard’s writing is tight and witty, but in a poorer production it could come off as overly academic or just silly. This thoroughly likable pair of actors delivers the text naturally; their performances are motivated and specific. Even though these characters spend their free time playing word games and hypothesizing about the meaning of life, rather than, say, watching TV, Crane and Altheide show that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are really just a couple of regular guys, trapped by the system and wondering what it’s all about. The leader of the theater troupe (Geoffrey Wade), simply referred to as the Player, is a delightful rogue. He is a wise fool turned pimp; the players, as it turns out, are willing to prostitute themselves in a variety of ways. Since this Player understands the ways of theater and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are, in essence, trapped in a play, he is the only one who lets them see the big picture. Wade is never afraid to commit — his gestures and delivery are often fittingly histrionic — but he also knows when a mere pause or a raised eyebrow can help a foreboding line do its work. “It is written,” he says at one point, “…We’re tragedians, you see — there is no choice involved. The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what
tragedy means.” Director Steve Stettler also knows when a light touch can be most eloquent. Besides giving the audience ample permission to enjoy this play’s comedic elements, he can be credited with requesting a set that was very nearly no set at all. Designer Richard Chambers delivered and even subtly improved on the idea. His bare black platform with a threedimensional frame of metal pipes creates a stage within a stage. So when Rosencrantz, restlessly contemplating whether he’d rather be dead or alive in a coffin, says, “Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect,” the audience might hear an allusion to a theater as a sort of box. Stoppard, after all, like Shakespeare, often lets his characters teeter on the edge of realizing that they’re in a play. Stettler doesn’t place too much weight on the Shakespearean scenes included in Stoppard’s text. They are performed clearly and capably, but Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are not trapped in a particularly evocative version of Hamlet. Rachel Kurland’s costumes support this: The title characters appear in modern dress familiar to the audience; the rest wear period clothing, often almost gaudily lush against the black backdrop. Thus, despite their outward show of authority, Hamlet, Claudius and the rest look as out of place as are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Never mind this play’s intimidating reputation; Stettler and a fine company of actors, crew and designers have put on a thoroughly accessible production. Audience members can feel free both to laugh and to come to their own conclusions about what this play is really all about. 쩾

Family Ties Book review: Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian
P
urists are fascinating creatures. While most of us are content to live and let live, making continual small allowances for human flaws, they do their best to remake the world the way they believe it should be. Such is the case of Spencer McCullough, a central STORY character in Vermont author Chris Bohjalian’s new MARGOT novel. The communications director of a high-profile HARRISON animals-rights lobbying group called FERAL, Spencer dictates his wife’s and daughter’s diet and Before You Know wardrobe — meat and leather verboten — and enlists Kindness by his whole extended family to plant a garden at his Chris Bohjalian, Shaye Areheart mother-in-law’s summer home in New Hampshire, the better to fulfill his dietary needs. Like PETA Books, 422 pages, $25. founder Ingrid Newkirk, to whom he bears more than a passing resemblance, Spencer might be accused of preferring animals to human beings, and he has the born-again fervor of a guilty conscience. (In a toothsomely grotesque passage, we learn that Spencer spent a summer in college carving up live lobsters for the tourist trade.) Even readers who agree with Spencer’s views will find him hard to like. But it’s also hard to wish him ill, because when we meet Spencer on page 1, his shoulder has just been crushed into “thick, sloppy soup” by a .30-caliber bullet from a hunting rifle wielded by his own young daughter. As if that weren’t enough, the deer Spencer strives to protect have devoured his vegetables. It’s a bad day. After opening the book with an attention-getting description of Spencer’s shooting, Bohjalian immediately backtracks to show us how this came

He introduces us to Spencer’s wife Catherine’s family, the Seton clan, who’ve gathered to enjoy a July weekend at the home of Nan, their indefatigable country-club matriarch. Nan has been playing surrogate mom to preteen granddaughters Charlotte — Spencer and Catherine’s precocious, preening offspring — and Willow, her quieter cousin. The rifle arrives on the scene courtesy of Catherine’s brother John, a Chittenden County public defender, who celebrated the recent birth of his son by taking hunting lessons. But John’s bucolic “vision of days alone in the woods with his son” is stymied by a stubborn bullet that jams in the chamber.

hairline fissures in the Seton family into gaping rifts. Not only is Spencer now out a right arm, but his cronies at FERAL decide that his maiming is a ripe opportunity to sue the gun manufacturer and inveigh publicly against hunting. Catherine, who’s been sneaking Slim Jims in a secret rebellion against her husband, finds herself forced to play nursemaid to him even as he threatens to drag her family into the limelight. John worries about being “crucified” in the lawsuit for his carelessness, while his daughter Willow faces a dilemma: Should she tell the adults what only she knows about Charlotte’s state of mind on the night of the shooting? Bohjalian painstakingly delineates the motives of each character, using an omniscient narrator to get beneath the surface. If we sympathize more with the hapless John, we also understand that Spencer has a secret, heartfelt reason for backing the lawsuit: “He wanted to make clear to the world that this travesty was not his daughter’s fault.” And we know that, just as
Spencer wants to protect his daughter, so her shot in the dark was a misguided attempt to protect his garden and his pride. But if Bohjalian’s exposition is informative, it can also become intrusive, stating the obvious, as when we’re told, “A lot of what Charlotte did, in Willow’s opinion, was about getting people to pay attention to her,” in a scene that already brings this point home like an anvil. While Before You Know Kindness is heavy on meticulously accurate description — of Spencer’s injury, for instance, or the monstrosity that is a vegan waffle — it’s lighter on dialogue and action, and the characters suffer as a result. For all that we know about them, they lack great literary characters’ ability to surprise us, as real people sometimes defy our most grounded expectations. Livelier dialogue might have helped animate the characters and move the story along — even the kids in this book have faintly stilted diction: “Don’t put it that way. It makes me sound dreadful,” sniffs Charlotte when Willow
confronts her with facts. By the time the SetonMcCullough family has weathered its crisis, some readers may feel that Bohjalian has raised more issues — about the responsibilities of gun owners, the morality of hunting and the conflicts between public ethics and family loyalty — than he’s elucidated. If Spencer is the voice of moral absolutism, Willow seems to speak for the novelist when she wonders why we can’t all just get along: “I just wish people didn’t make such a big deal about what other people eat.” Before You Know Kindness suggests that real kindness comes from a recognition of human limitations — even Spencer is mellowed by his experience of physical disability, which forces him to depend on others. It’s a powerful theme. But one sometimes wishes that Bohjalian had let us discover it for ourselves, rather than handing us over to a narrator who, like Spencer himself, is all about the talking points. 쩾
FROM BEFORE YOU KNOW KINDNESS The audience laughed with [Spencer], appalled, and he shook his head now, suggesting that in hindsight he couldn’t believe what he had done. And, the truth was, he couldn’t. He remembered those evenings well, especially the nights when there would be those sightseeing tours. As soon as the bus would coast into the dirtand-gravel parking lot, he would retrieve the wooden coop with the torpid crustaceans from the walk-in refrigerator so that the creatures were right there beside him on the floor. Then, like an automaton, he would bend over and grab one from the container that reeked of low tide and pin the writhing, asphyxiated decapod (five pairs of appendages on the thorax, a word he’d found in the entry on lobsters in the dusty encyclopedia from the Coolidge administration he’d discovered in a spare bedroom in Catherine’s mother’s house) on its back. He would uncoil the springy ribbon of tail and hold down the bulbous crusher claw with his fingers for the split second it took him to line up the cleaver on the lobster’s carapace (an unbuttoned sports jacket, he thought at the time) so that the animal’s abdomen was exposed. Then he would press the metal blade straight down as it breathed. But not, alas, breathed its last. The point was to get the creature into the 450-degree oven while it was still alive.

C LU B DAT E S : : V E N U E S 4 1 1 : : S O U N D B I T E S : : P O P T E N : : R E V I E W T H I S
BEYOND CONVENTION :: Idiosyncratic fiddle visionary Darol Anger
is at the forefront of progressive string music. At home
with jazz, classical and American roots styles, his maverick approach continues to inspire younger players. Work with rule-breaking bluegrass-inspired groups such as Psychograss and the David Grisman Quintet exposed Anger’s adaptability and knowledge of his instrument to a wider audience. He’s released both acoustic and electric music with long-time musical partner Mike Marshall, but Anger’s latest project, the American Fiddle Ensemble, has him the most excited. The group brings Anger together with a new generation of vanguard string players who share his love for style blending and cross-cultural pollination. Seven Days chatted with Anger briefly from his California home, in advance of his performance with Vassar Clements and Bryan Sutton at the Eclipse Theater in Waitsfield this Saturday.
SEVEN DAYS: When did you start playing fiddle? What drew you to the instrument? DAROL ANGER: I started playing classical violin when I was 9, and I discovered fiddling when I was around 13. I’m of the age group [51] that was very affected by the appearance of The Beatles. They just made me want to play music. My folks actually bought me a cheap guitar, but it was too hard to press the strings down. We were in a restaurant, and there was this strolling violinist… I thought, “Violin looks a lot easier to play than the guitar.” That was my first mistake! But it turned out well. SD: I assume you listened to a few other rock bands as well — how did you work your way towards American roots music? DA: It didn’t take long. I was lucky enough to be living in the [San Francisco] Bay Area at the time, and people like Jerry Garcia were playing that kind of acoustic music. Bluegrass was a very exciting option for me because you didn’t have to play in a garage, and I couldn’t afford all those fancy amplifiers. There was also a finer attention to elements of rhythm — bluegrass is very virtuosic. When it first came out, people were driving their cars off the road — they hadn’t heard anything like it!
SAT
30
SD: You’re not only a player but an instructor as well. Do your students ever surprise you with ideas and techniques you hadn’t thought of? DA: I have been so incredibly lucky to have a lot of contact with wonderful young musicians… My bandmate Rushad Eggleston is playing an entirely new instrument that just happens to be called the cello — he’s doing amazing new things with it. And [bandmate] Brittany Haas isn’t even old enough to vote, but she’s one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve ever heard. SD: You’re known for an unorthodox approach to playing the fiddle. Was this a deliberate
break from tradition or something you just stumbled into? DA: It was a responsive need. I was in a band [Turtle Island String Quartet] that was playing a lot of jazz and contemporary pop, and we didn’t have drums. The question was, how are we gonna make this stuff sound convincing? I had listened to [modern string ensemble] Kronos Quartet, who were incredible innovators — still are. They took on titanic tasks. And that was sort of my goal. SD: Your new ensemble has a worldwide range of influences. How do you blend, say, Scandinavian folk music with American pop or even African styles? DA: Are we just musical dilettantes? Well, our solution is to not try to take on the local accents but to just play as we play. There isn’t a standard path like in classical violin or even bluegrass music. Everybody has to find his or her own way of doing this stuff. We take the raw musical material, and just play it with our own American accents, and do whatever we need to do to make it feel musical and good. SD: How do you stay inspired after so many innovations and discoveries? Do you think the well will ever run dry? DA: It’s been absolutely confirmed for me with no doubt in my mind that music is about the people playing it. The notes, the style and the compositions are kind of incidental. As long as I can continue to play with people I love, part of a chain, part of a great conversation between music and listeners, it can’t get old. CASEY REA

KEEPING FAITH :: Female singer-songwriters might be a dime a dozen these days, but introspective artist
Faith Kleppinger uses dreamy melodies and
quirky literary references to set herself apart. Though her new disc, No Galore, was recorded in Bloomington, Indiana, Kleppinger divides her time between Pennsylvania, Atlanta and New York. These nomadic tendencies inform her tunes, resulting in a delicate, slightly weary look at life, love and loss. Catch her election night set at Radio Bean.

THE DIRTY BLONDES
ELECTION-NIGHT HIGH JINKS They’re drunk, they’re dirty, and they won’t let a presidential race get in the way of their good time! Burlington’s saucy strumpets The Dirty Blondes are planning a poll-night throwdown at Club Metronome that promises to be more fun than a hanging chad. Some say the fate of the free world is at stake, but the devious minds in the Blondes want to help you get through Nov. 2 no matter what the outcome. “If you want to remember the night, or forget the night, we don’t give a shit,” says band member Reverend D. Blonde. In addition to live music from DJ Big Dog, Lobot, Rock ’N’ Roll Sherpa, Allan Nicholls, Sweet Ass Pussy and Meat Lab, the festivities will feature visual-arts displays, tap dance, a fire-wielding performance by a lad in a “star-spangled man thong,” and much laughing in the face of uncertainty. Those who can’t tear themselves away from news coverage can rest easy; several TVs will be on hand. And, yes, the Blondes are scheduled to perform — if they can find the stage by show time. With new tunes such as “Too Drunk to Vote,” written expressly for the occasion, this is one political “party” that understands your election-season woes. “If you really want to do something good for America, vote for us,” says the Reverend. If the FBI doesn’t catch wind of their plans, the event promises to be a true rally for freedom; come Nov. 3, it might be comforting to know you spent those final hours in good company. Just be ready for a post-election hangover.
TURN THE PAGE
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEADHEADS
From a boyhood desire to follow in the footsteps of folk legends such as Woody Guthrie, to his latest foray into the world of publishing, Hinesburg resident Rik Palieri has brought a wide-eyed enthusiasm to all his adventures. Palieri’s new book, The Road Is My Mistress, is a warm-hearted journal of his travels through our nation’s back roads and highways in search of the roots of American music. Palieri’s journeys have taken him from “hobo jungle campfires” to sweat-lodge ceremonies with Native Americans — each experience illuminating the rich tapestry of North American life. Overseas rambles are also recounted; his time in the mountains of Europe and the Australian outback provide the book with an international cultural flavor. “It’s taught me how to see America through foreign eyes,” says Palieri about his crosscontinental jaunts. “That’s especially important now that all eyes are on America. You get a really different insight about how people view your country and, like it or not, you become an ambassador.” Over the years he’s made lasting friendships with some of the country’s most beloved musicians, such as Pete Seeger, Jimmie Driftwood and Utah Phillips. In his introduction to The Road Is My Mistress, Phillips claims Palieri “has more miles on him than a prospector’s mule.” Bittersweet portraits of some of the men and women of American folk give the book a unique, firstperson take on life’s hardships, but never without a sense of humor and earthy optimism. “I never intended to write a book, but I’ve always tried to look at life in a light-hearted way and find the good in every situation,” says Palieri. “I guess I was trying to be the ‘good American Traveler.’” The Road Is My Mistress is available at local bookstores and on amazon.com.
Calling all jam-rock zombies: Local blues authority Mr. Charlie is putting together a pre-Halloween bash featuring his Grateful Dead-inspired band Blues for Breakfast. In addition to the good-time tunes, longtime Dead publicist and Mr. Charlie pal Dennis McNally has agreed to donate a complete set of Dick’s Picks discs to the winner of a “Dress as Your Favorite Dead Song/Character Costume Contest.” There are around 100 CDs in this live collection, so if that doesn’t inspire fans to play dress-up, nothing will. In addition to the grand prize, gift certificates and cold hard cash will be awarded to folks with the most inspired outfits. Casey Jones, anyone?
YOUR GUIDES HAVE ARRIVED Congratulations to Rock ’N’ Roll Sherpa on the release of their debut CD, You Don’t Say. A mainstay of the Burlington music scene since 2001, the band has kept a low profile of late. Now the punky, eclectic alt-rockers are returning to action. In addition to founding members Alan Beauregard and Aaron Hornblas, Sherpa feature local indie-rock luminaries Ryan Power as well as Gabrielle and Burette Douglas. “We took our time with recording and mixing the album, and we’re all pleased with the result,” says Hornblas. With the disc finally finished, the band is looking forward to more live shows and may begin work on a follow-up record soon. Rock ’N’ Roll Sherpa’s CD release party takes place this Friday, Oct. 29, at the Monkey House in Winooski, and the group will perform at the election-night bash at Club Metronome on Tuesday.

RHYTHM AND SOUL :: Best known as the drummer for mock-rock maestros Ween, Claude Coleman, Jr., is more than just a quality time keeper. Coleman’s solo project,
Amandla,
showcases his multi-instrumental and production skills, honed through years of recording and performance. With soulful, psychedelic pop and a nod to folk and roots, Amandla stands on its own. Though Coleman suffered a near fatal car accident a few years back, nothing could keep him from making music.

JOSEPH ARTHUR, OUR SHADOWS WILL REMAIN
(Self-released, CD)
(Vector Recordings, CD)
Joseph Arthur’s stylized heartache and existential woe is impeccably executed, but the New York City songwriter often confuses craftsmanship with passion. Though Arthur is capable of many musical feats — from one-man-band concerts to art-rock concept albums, his efforts generally seem less than honest. Witnessing him perform is pretty enthralling; Arthur uses loops and effects devices to create lush accompaniments in real time. Drum beats, bass lines and shifting melodic runs build and dissolve while his sugar-and-sandpaper vocals mine melodic territory well explored by Radiohead and Jeff Buckley. Our Shadows Will Remain finds Arthur going for more of a live band approach, but with plenty of production augmentation — drumbeats are digitally embellished, as if Arthur wanted to compete with more established “alternative” acts. Still, sonic exploration isn’t terribly adventurous if it refuses to break any rules, and everything Arthur does seems torn from the tortured-artist handbook. The track “Puppets” comes the closest to genuine inspiration, perhaps because it sounds the least forced. On this cut, Arthur’s layered vocals utilize a doubled octaves technique that male crooners from Marc Bolan to Bono have already exploited. It’s a common trick, but it still works. A piano hook reminiscent of The Cure’s “Close to Me” gives the track a playful bounce that almost borders on fun. When Arthur tells listeners, “You don’t know what it’s like,” however, fists may clench. It’s obvious Arthur takes himself pretty seriously; witness the 18-page booklet featuring his abstract doodles. No lyrics, no thank-you’s — just a giant dose of self-expression. Once again, it’s not that Arthur isn’t talented — he’s just so self-aggrandizing that it tends to obscure even his most basic merits. Note to musicians and producers: Please stop using the drum loop from Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks.” It doesn’t matter how you speed it up or slow it down — it’s completely overdone. Arthur’s crèmede-la-lame “I Am” was tired before it began, and its shameless hijacking of the Bonham beat confirms his need for quality control. What really makes Our Shadows Will Remain so frustrating is how often Arthur betrays his talents in a mish-mash of egoism and artificial eccentricity. When he’s direct, such as with the haunting “A Smile That Explodes,” he achieves a touching intimacy. Poetic missteps and art-school posturing keep Joseph Arthur in the margins, however. If he wants to be great, he’ll have to drop the pose. He brings the live act to Club Metronome this Saturday.

Not quite modern rock, not quite hip-hop, 2nd Agenda’s debut album Connect is an overwhelmingly cluttered rap/rock hybrid. The Burlington group’s politically conscious approach is generic and unoriginal; each track takes shots at “evil” capitalist America through raps about greed and tearing down the social infrastructure. Song titles such as “Corporate” and “Social Disease” suggest what the band is attempting. Unfortunately, their rhymes lack flow, space and taste. Cramming 50 too many words into a bar is just asking for a lyrical nightmare — it’s quality, not quantity, that matters. Musically, all the hooks on Connect come from acoustic guitar, the recording of which lacks refinement and polish. With too many notes and bizarre timing, the guitar never establishes proper meter with any of the rhymes. Most of the riffs sound the same from track to track, and they’re usually accompanied by a simple drumbeat and awkward harmonies. “Instinct,” the album’s first song, features a vocalist rapping while another is singing. The resulting sound is akin to two college students having a dorm-room volume war with their stereos — one is playing acoustic-groove act Dispatch, the other, Eminem. Some ingredients simply do not mix. “Lyrical Painter” — a slow, drawn-out, melodramatic ballad — is somewhat distinct, but its vocals are off-key. Elsewhere, intermittent turntable fills are awkwardly placed in songs where they don’t really fit. Creating hip-hop requires patience. The music that accompanies the vocals should leave enough breathing room for the MCs to do their thing. When combining two different genres of music, particularly rap and rock, musicians should leave plenty of space. Only one voice should be the center of focus at any given moment; two equals muddle, and muddle can mean loss of message. It’s commendable, however, that in a world of bling, 2nd Agenda is at least attempting to do something with a bit more purpose. Let’s just hope their next release isn’t so self-absorbed and shows more signs of musical and lyrical maturity. 2nd Agenda host Manhattan Pizza’s open mike on Wednesdays, and also perform at CCV’s Coffeehouse this Friday.

hailand has a majestic past, with all the travails that ancient cultures are heir to.Yet, the Thais are not overwhelmed by their legacy. The past sits very happily with the present in Thailand, and the Thais live easily with both. The map of Thailand resembles the silhouette of an elephant’s head. The north and the north east are its two ears, the central plains its head, with Bangkok at the mouth, of course, while its trunk-the Isthmus of Kra — descends sinuously to the south.Thai cooking is at odds with the modern world, where speed and simplicity are paramount. Thai is not an instant cuisine, prepared with the flick of a knife and finished with the toss of a pan. It needs the cook’s attention, and it expects time and effort to be spent and it requires honed skills, but it rewards with sensational tastes. Spring Rolls originated in the north east, while Chicken Satay, Seafood Phuket, and Massaman Curry from the south. Some other dishes are Chinese influenced, like Beef & Broccoli, Sweet & Sour. At Loong Chat’s, most dishes are from central plains, for example Green Curry, Panang curry, Thom Yum Soup, Tom Khar Soup, Yum Nuar (Beef Salad), Pad Thai, Pad Kii Mao (Drunken

T EXHIBIT “Small Picture Exhibit,” an annual juried show of smallformat paintings by gallery members. Bryan Memorial Gallery, Jeffersonville. Through December 19.
ARTWORK “Five Bowls” by Martha Ohliger
PHOTO Marc Awodey
he old proverb that “good things come in small packages” easily applies to the seventh annual “Small Picture Exhibit” at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville. The show consists of about 200 paintings and some other twodimensional works. Photography is one of the minority media, and there are several fine pieces — especially two that capture movement. “Again” by Wendy James is an 8-by-10-inch color photo of carousel horses that seem to leap as they twirl. Rainbows of carnival light stream across the composition. The 12-by-9-inch silver gelatin print “Irish Spring” by John Burns freezes a babbling brook in mid-babble. Its flowing waters appear as white ligaments cascading through a wall of craggy stones. Collage artist Susan Goodby crafts works predominantly from paper and surrounds them with contrasting painting. “The Bouquet” is like the detail of a Romare Bearden collage — its execution is just as clean. The 12-by-10-inch rendition of flowers in a vase has rich, warm hues over a gray background. Goodby’s 15-by-11-inch “Great Blue Heron” has a Japanese sensibility. The leggy bird is positioned at the left of the picture plane over a blue background painted with translucent glazes. “Petals #1” by Denise Cote, a 7 1/2-by-9-inch mixedmedia work with collage, is one of the few nonobjective abstractions in the show. It has a wrinkled surface of autumnal hues; rusty reds, olive greens and cadmium yellow medium are contrasted by a hint of cobalt blue. Another abstraction, Tinka Martell’s “Untitled #2,” is an 8by-11-inch mixed-media drawing that appears to be copper leaf on handmade paper. This members-only exhibition includes nearly all of Vermont’s best landscape painters. Jake Geer’s “Marshes of Glynn,” a 12-by-16-inch oil on panel, is a brilliant nocturne. Silhouettes of reeds line the marsh as an evening sky unfolds over it and a distant field. Warm hues are grouped toward a far-off horizon line. Gordon Coughlin’s “1982 Road E. Main” is a 12-by-16inch oil with airier brushwork. The post-Impressionist-style daylight scene features two sheds beneath wispy trees. Coughlin scrubs, pats and washes color over the canvas. The oil-stick painting “Tranquility I” by Jane Desjardins is
a 12-by-16-inch pond scene with a very different aesthetic. Desjardins scratches into her surface, varying textures between sharp lines and softly blended hues. Something Coughlin and Desjardins have in common with each other, and with most of the landscapists in this exhibition, is an affinity for local color. Other painters use colors for their expressive potential. Dorothy Martinez is a well-known abstractionist in
The Bryan’s members-only exhibition includes nearly all of Vermont’s best landscape painters. Vermont, and her 10-inch-square landscape “Waterside” features bright turquoise and swaths of lavender beneath a low horizon line. The naturalistic billow of a stormy cloudbank contrasts with Martinez’s expressionistic use of colors on the ground. There are also many still lifes in the show. Coughlin contributes a heavy impasto one in addition to his landscapes, which have lighter brushwork. “Bordeaux and Citron” is a 12-by-16-inch oil that will take years to fully dry. Gobs of paint are practically molded into the forms of a bottle and fruit. The paint is remarkably clean, despite its thickness and blending. “Five Bowls” by Martha Ohliger is a calmer piece of work. The 12-by-9-inch oil has the precision of 20th-century Italian still life painter Giorgio Morandi. Like him, Ohliger painted empty vessels in a blank environment. Light and color are similarly muted, and the composition is cool, virtually static. If Ohliger has been directly influenced by Morandi, she has discovered a powerful art-historical resource. The Bryan Memorial show is filled with such small wonders.m

I ♥ Huckabees ★
T WATCHING THE DETECTIVES Hoffman and Tomlin look for the meaning of life. Audiences will keep busy looking for the meaning of this film.
his is a movie that invites you to think about something else as you watch it. As I watched it, what I kept thinking about was an elevator that has come loose from its cables and is in high-speed freefall. The plummeting elevator image popped into my mind as I considered the career of writer-director David O. Russell, who somehow has managed to follow one of the finest films of the past decade — 1999’s Three Kings — with one of the most confoundingly sophomoric. I Heart Huckabees is a tiresome, super-talky head game that tackles the meaning of life while fumbling the basics of storytelling. Jason Schwartzman stars as the witless leader of a ragtag environmental outfit called the Open Spaces Coalition. He is engaged in a battle to save a marsh and some trees with — what else — a giant retail chain. Huckabees is a big-box amalgam of Wal-Mart and The Gap, whose marketing face is supplied by Jude Law. Law outmaneuvers his opponent by taking over Open Spaces using a combination of charm and ruthlessness and turning it into a public-relations arm of the corporation. As a result of the conflict, we are informed again and again, each man has complicated, deep-seated feelings about the other. Not that this is the subject of I Heart Huckabees. If the movie can be said to have a subject, it probably would be Schwartzman’s decision to hire a pair of existential detectives to help him make sense of a series of coincidences that has him inexplicably puzzled. Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman play the investigators. The coincidences consist of his repeatedly running into a tall exchange student from Sudan. So much in the movie fails to make sense that many viewers may not notice this key story point lacks logic. Eventually we learn that the student works as the doorman at the apartment building where Schwartzman grew up and his parents still reside. That being the case, it would hardly be surprising that the young man would encounter him regularly, but the film never offers an explanation for his fabricating a completely different story for the detectives. On the other hand, maybe the movie’s subject is the metaphysical philosophy espoused by the pair. In a privateeye parody that falls stunningly flat, Tomlin and Hoffman follow Schwartzman as he goes about his day taking notes,
planting bugs and searching for proof that will convince him of his connection to everything else in the universe. Sporting a Beatlesque do, Hoffman jabbers continuously on this theme and often employs a blanket to represent the cosmos. On other occasions, he instructs his client to lie in a zipped body bag. This is all part of a plan designed to “dismantle” Schwartzman’s personality, though the film never offers an explanation as to how this works, why it’s desirable or even what it means. At the same time, the picture’s true point may lie in the counter-philosophy promoted by Isabelle Huppert in the role of a rival existential detective from France. In her opinion, nothing in the universe is connected to anything else. Life is meaningless and cruel. Except for when it’s messy, as it is when she makes ridiculous love to Schwartzman in a secluded mud puddle. I won’t even go into the possibility that the movie is really concerned with the ho-hum fixations of its lesser figures. Naomi Watts is a sexy Huckabees spokesmodel who decides that she’s tired of being objectified. Mark Wahlberg turns up as a truth-seeking fireman who’s so anti-petroleum he rides his bicycle to fires. Its characters are so one-dimensional, its politics so tired, its structure so ramshackle, that one gets the sense Russell’s had the script for Huckabees in a drawer since his college days and dusted it off during a bout of writer’s block. There are a handful of mildly funny moments, but the gab-to-gag ratio is mercilessly lopsided. Rarely will you see so many characters talk so much and say so little, or so much talent squandered. I understand that the director was inspired to make this movie partly as a result of studying the published works of Uma’s father, Bob Thurman, a Tibetan Buddhism scholar and some sort of guru. I’m not sure whether that makes me feel better or worse. At a certain point, it’s possible to realize what you’re watching was inspired by the deep thinking of Bob Denver. The latest from Russell, it must be said, steers clear of Hollywood formula and brings a few cool names out of semi- retirement. However, while the director may have ambition to admire and career-risking courage to respect, the sad truth is his new movie has almost nothing to heart. m
CELLULAR★★1/2 From the guy who gave us Phone Booth comes the similar-sounding saga of a fellow who answers his cell phone one day to find on the line a stranger who says she’ll be killed if he doesn’t locate her quickly. Kim Basinger and William H. Macy costar. David Ellis directs. (94 min, PG-13) DONNIE DARKO: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT★★★★ Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this 2001 cult horror classic directed by Richard Kelly, the story of a delusional teenager battling his demons in suburban America. (80 min, R) FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS★★★ Billy Bob Thornton plays a high school football coach who helps restore the pride of a troubled Texas town in the latest from director Peter Berg. Based on the bestseller by H. G. Bissinger. Tim McGraw and Derek Luke costar. (113 min, PG-13) GARDEN STATE★★★1/2 Zach Braff wrote, directed and stars in this drama about a young TV actor who returns home for the first time in almost a decade, sees his old world through new eyes and even gets to hook up with Natalie Portman. Ian Holm and Peter Sarsgaard costar. (107 min, R) I (HEART) HUCKABEES★ The latest from Three Kings director David O. Russell is a metaphysical farce in which a young environmentalist hires existential detectives to search out the meaning behind a series of coincidences he’s experienced. Featuring Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin. (106 min, R)

SEVEN DAYS GOING UPRIVER: THE LONG WAR OF JOHN KERRY
flick chick
BY SUSAN GREEN
SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Reading Between the Reels
Green Mountain Cinema will cover movies by regional filmmakers as well as those shot in Vermont by flatlanders. film fans: next month’s launch of Green Mountain Cinema. This periodical in book form, created and edited by Stephen R. Bissette of Marlboro, will cover movies by regional filmmakers as well as those shot in Vermont by flatlanders. The first issue will be out in a week or two; subtitled Green Mountain Boys: Election Year Special, it’s a 224page magnum opus with 125 illustrations. The journal includes essays by Bissette that consider the work of two local auteurs, Montpelier’s Walter Ungerer and Norwich’s Nora Jacobson. There are articles on Logger-head Rusty DeWees, Charlotte resident John Douglas’ prize-winning
Da Speech and the late Bob Keeshan, who lived in the Connecticut River Valley town of Hartford after retiring from “Captain Kangaroo.” Remarkably, volume two of Green Mountain Cinema will be out just four weeks later, in December, and future editions are promised for spring and summer 2005. This endeavor stems from five years of research Bissette did for a hardcover book on the state’s film history. He has managed to unearth some amazing buried treasures. Who knew that Auguste and Louis Lumiere, the French brothers who helped pioneer motion pictures in the late 1800s, had a Burlington operation in 1902? While his tome awaits a publisher, native son Bissette has forged ahead to tell some of the same stories in this rather ambitious magazine. He plans to reflect differing viewpoints with articles by various contributors. Although he wrote most of the pieces in “GMC I” himself, other voices chime in. Among them are two people penning tributes to the recently departed. Peacham filmmaker Jay Craven remembers Jonathan Brandis, a former child star with a lead role in The Year That Trembled who later killed himself at age 27. Photographer Peter Miller bids farewell to farmerturned-actor Fred Tuttle (Man With a Plan), who died of a heart attack at age 84. In his introduction, Bissette writes that the medium’s art and commerce will be explored in a manner “as live-
ly, engaging, informative, entertaining and provocative as possible.” Another passage offers some intriguing hints about the content of upcoming issues: “You may find family-tailored mainstream fare like The Trapp Family and Those Calloways! lovingly analyzed alongside articles discussing disaster films, Canada’s ‘maple syrup porn’ films or the blood-bong-smoking night stalkers of Vampire Vermont.” Maple syrup porn? What is this guy talking about? You’ll have to plunk down $22.95 to get the answer. At the moment, “GMC I” can be ordered online at www.blackcoatpress.com/ greenmountaincinema1.htm. In the interest of full disclosure, for some reason Bissette thanks me in his acknowledgments along with several other area cineastes. Maybe I’m an unwitting blood-bong-smoking night stalker. If so, I belong in the horror genre that dominates his impressive resumé. Bissette spent decades as a cartoonist, collaborating on such classics as Saga of the Swamp Thing for DC Comics from 1983 to 1987. His fiction earned him a 1993 Bram Stoker Award for a novella, Aliens: Tribes. Movie-wise, he was involved with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secret of the Ooze.
However the presidential election turns out, Americans of the AnybodyBut-Bush persuasion may be far more impressed by the candidate from Massachusetts after seeing Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry. Vermont Democratic groups sponsored screenings Friday and Saturday at the Village Picture Shows in Manchester Center. Merrill Jarvis has booked the documentary for a oneweek run, beginning Friday at his Ethan Allen theater in Burlington. The chronology of this affectionate profile by George Butler (Pumping Iron) never really covers much beyond the early 1970s. But, in a banner year for political docs, the film effectively addresses the mind-numbing campaign controversy about who did what during the Vietnam War. It’s packed with eloquent talking heads such as disabled veteran Bobby Muller, author Neil Sheehan and biographer Douglas Brinkley. Butler makes the case that Kerry fought bravely while commanding a swift boat, and then mustered another kind of courage — no less patriotic — to protest the futility of that conflict. The context of those terrible times becomes clear with archival footage that shows battle-scarred vets sobbing as they toss away their medals in honor of fallen comrades. m

LINGO LASSO Cowboy poetry isn’t exactly an oxymoron, although it is a rare literary breed. Its authors publish books of vernacular verse, but are part of a living oral tradition that sticks close to its workingclass roots. Nevada native and rancher Waddie Mitchell, widely recognized as a master of the form, believes that when cowpokes live in close proximity for many months, “one of your duties is to entertain each other.” After a day of wrestling steer and riding the range, rhyme and meter become vehicles for down-to-earth stories. Mitchell shares some of his own at a Vermont Folklife Center event, complementing performances by Vermont-based artists Michèle Choiniére, François Clemmons, Deborah Flanders, Margaret MacArthur and Alejandro Torrens.
‘A TRIBUTE TO TRADITION’ Saturday, October 30, Vergennes Opera House, 2-4 p.m. $15. Info, 877-6737.

SEVEN DAYS
<calendar > scene@THE HAUNTED FOREST CATAMOUNT FAMILY CENTER, WILLISTON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 10 P.M.
It was a crisp, moonlit night as our group of 24 well-bundled visitors departed the staging tent and headed into The Haunted Forest. A light breeze rustled the leaves overhead, making the trees creak and groan with theatrical complicity. The folks at Fun for Change, who organize this annual Halloween scare fair, couldn’t have conjured up an eerier setting. A tall, Gandalf-like character with a long staff and crooked nose greeted everyone at the gate. Speaking in a thick English accent, he beseeched us to turn back. A child in her father’s arms let out a plaintive wail. But no one in our group heeded the warning to save ourselves from the freaks, mummies and undead awaiting us inside. Instead, we all plunged headlong into the darkness. At our first stop, the Body Dump, two hags debated the merits of dating sheep. “Love can overcome cultural differences,” said one, “especially in Vermont.” So that’s what the gatekeeper meant by scary creeps. At another stop, three drunken, resurrected pirates bickered over the location of their hidden booty. “How’d you like to see my doubloons?” asks one, suggestively. The pirates also spoke the Queen’s English. Perhaps the implication is that Americans are easily spooked by Brits. In addition to the 11 scripted skits and musical numbers — including the “Monster Mash” at the wax museum and an episode of “Dead Eye for the Live Guy” — the evening included few minor, unscripted scares. A 3year-old child went missing for 45 minutes, and a stray dog growled at the actors. But by and large, the theatrics went off without a hitch. With more than 1200 folks each night — 25 every four minutes — meandering along more than a mile of dark, root-snarled trails, guided only by silent ghouls and the light of 1000 jack-o’-lanterns, it’s impressive that the only casualty was a pumpkin that was crushed by a falling tree.

RHYTHM AND SHOES Burlington and Puerto Cabezas became sister cities during the intense Nicaraguan political climate of the 1980’s. Since then, the bridge between the two towns has blossomed into a thriving cultural exchange. To mark the 20th anniversary of this partnership, Burlington City Arts hosts dancer Dwayne “Neko” Waters and his Grupo Sudando for a feature on Caribbean-style footwork. Waters, a former fireman and a semi-professional dancer working from Miskito, Creole, Garifuna and Latino roots, now motivates with movement as part of an antidrug program in the Puerto Cabezas region. He and three fellow dancers lead a week of youth workshops, then showcase their protégées in a public performance.

AULD LANG SYNE Forty years ago, Burlington-based band The Thunderbolts were writing original rock music in a style similar to that of the Fab Four. Their tagline, “Sandu and Her Scotties” — a take-off on lead singer Sandu Scott’s name — prompted them to wear full-tilt kilts during shows. The gimmick worked. In 1964, the group’s au courant sound and outrageous outfits landed them a spot on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” though fans back in Vermont were upset that the camera caught only Sandu Scott, 20 feet in front of the other band members. Saturday’s reunion concert features three of the original five members — Jimmy Ricker, Bobby Lavigne and Marc Chapman — in a Halloween party show. No telling whether plaid woolens will be present at the costume contest, but there’s always hope. THE THUNDERBOLTS Saturday, October 30, The Old Lantern, Charlotte, dinner 5 p.m., show 7:30 p.m. $15.

QUOTH THE RAVEN If Halloween has a literary patron saint, Edgar Allan Poe is the guy. Although Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft and Mary Shelley all penned fiction about monumental monsters and supernatural oddities, Poe’s poetry and short stories stand out from the bat pack for their serious psychodrama. They’re also eminently performable. This weekend, Lost Nation Theater goes Gothic with a candlelit reading of spine-tingling stories by Poe and other mavens of the macabre, complete with ominous organ accompaniment. Afterward, audience members can spook each other with gruesome garb at a silent art auction and costume contest. How about giving extra points to anyone who can croak “Nevermore” in crow-like character?

LOLA
the love counselor
Dear Lola, My boyfriend is always up for munching muff, but I just can’t get down with it. How could anyone actually enjoy sticking their face in such a rank, stinky place? Just thinking about it makes me feel ill, and having someone rooting around down there is hugely embarrassing — a total turn-off. When I’ve tried using various products to freshen up, he’s complained about the taste. When I’ve asked him to please not do that this time, I could tell that I’d killed his mood. What to do? Grossed Out in Grand Isle
Dear Grossed Out, How about making a really thorough shower a regular prelude to lovemaking? It will help reassure you that you’re perfectly sweet and clean, without resorting to those scented products that turn your boyfriend off. A luxurious bath is also a great way to relax — key to enjoying any sort of sex. Better yet, make it a tub-for-two, and let lathering lead to both of you getting in your licks. If all that still leaves you without an appetite for his eating, look for alternatives you can both enjoy. Nothing stifles satisfaction like trying to force it. Love, Lola

free will astrology RE AL (March 21-Apr. 19): When I advise you to spend the Halloween season awakening and nurturing your wildness, I’m referring to the definition of that word offered by Robert Bly in his book The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart. To be wild is not to be crazy like a criminal or psychotic, but “mad as the mist and snow.” It has nothing to do with being childish or primitive, nor does it manifest as manic rebellion or self-damaging alienation. The marks of wildness, Bly says, are a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown. Follow these leads, Aries, and expand on their meaning. Halloween costume suggestions: whirling dervish, ecstatic saint, Green Man, Artemis, Pan, trickster crone.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): In his book How’s Your AQ Today?, exbusiness executive Ed Rychkun says that our culture is so twisted that most bosses and leaders are jerks. In fact, it’s often necessary “to be an a**hole in order to succeed.” (The “AQ” in his title stands for “A**hole Quotient.”) I doubt that you’re an arrogant tyrant, insensitive egotist or deceitful bully, Taurus, so I can’t imagine that you have a high AQ. That may also mean you’ve never been in a position to manipulate and exploit lots of people. According to my reading of the astrological omens, however, you need to temporarily experience what corrupt power is like. It will fill a gap in your education. That’s why I suggest you disguise yourself as a domineering, hyperambitious honcho this Halloween.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Most of us lie regularly. Studies say the average person unleashes three fictions
per day. Our deceits are often harmless, designed to avoid hurting someone’s feelings or to spare ourselves from inconvenience. Still, the habit is so unconscious it puts us in peril of falsifying more important matters. Your task in the coming week, Gemini, is to investigate your tendency to distort the truth. The masquerade season presents you with an opportunity to do this in a radically fun way: through parody and exaggeration. For your Halloween persona, you could be “The Big Liar.” At parties, tell nonstop whoppers. Wear white clothes on which you’ve written fibs like “I am President of Madagascar,” “Eating ice cream and potato chips prevents cancer” and “Luxembourg is hiding weapons of mass destruction.”
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Real estate developer and TV star Donald Trump filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He was seeking to get a legal death grip on his signature phrase, “You’re fired!” That inspired me to try to get a trademark for one of my favorite declarations, “You’re a genius!” I haven’t had a good excuse to direct that praise your way any time recently, Cancerian, but in the coming weeks you’ll be the sign most deserving of it. You are now at the height of your originality; you’re as close as you’ve ever been to discovering your special mission here on Earth. For Halloween, consider dressing up as a famous prodigy, including any of the following: Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Georgia O’Keefe or hip-hop artist Missy Elliot.

BY ROB BREZSNY
shamaness and poet Nalungiaq, “people and animals spoke the same language.” Your Halloween assignment, Leo, is to find within you the atavistic remnant of that magic. Imagine yourself as an animal that speaks. Visualize yourself as a human who growls or brays or warbles. Picture yourself as a creature who can easily shift back and forth between the two parts of you, the animal that talks and the human who crows and bellows and purrs. Costume suggestions: panther-witch, eagle-clown, crocodile-executive, dragonfly-doctor, bear-rock star.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nothing could give you more power over your fears than a Halloween devoted to impersonating your fears. That’s why I suggest you get yourself a costume that will let you pretend to be what you’re most afraid of. If a nuclear explosion is your greatest bugaboo, dress up as a mushroom cloud. If your boss is the source of your most primal dread, become him or her for a couple of days. If you’re terrified of being exposed as a fraud or descending into poverty or losing your good looks, dive into the heart of that scary experience.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): No provocative poetry this week, Libra. No sublime philosophy or soulful psychology. Just the facts, ma’am or sir. It’s time to get down to Earth and back to basics; time to cut the crap and prune the weeds. So try this no-nonsense straight talk on for size: Don’t negotiate when you’re exhausted. Tolerate a temporary hassle if you’re sure it will lead to a permanent upgrade. Be a creator rather than a spectator. Sell yourself first, then your product. Don’t vote for smiling monsters who play on your fears. For
Mary Singing Wolf Shamanic Counselor Sound Therapist Apprenticeships
Halloween, dress up as a hundred-dollar bill or a hammer and a nail or a book called How to Be Real.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “To be silent when it’s time to speak is a weakness,” says a Persian proverb. I say it’s also a bad idea to speak when it’s time to be silent. In the coming week, one of these rules or the other will always be in effect for you, Scorpio. To know which one is in ascendancy at any given time, you’ll have to be very alert; conditions will be shifting constantly. Make it your goal to be so attuned to the fresh truth of each new moment that you will always express yourself when the time is ripe, and shut up when it isn’t. Halloween costume suggestions: a pythoness or fortune-teller; a talking mime or a silent clown who carries around chalk and a portable chalkboard to communicate; Triumph the Insult Comic Dog with a muzzle.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1204, Roman Catholic Crusaders destroyed Constantinople because it was the spiritual center of the Orthodox Christian Church, which had broken away from Vatican rule. Almost 800 years later, Pope John Paul II formally apologized to the Orthodox leader, Bartholomew I. It took a while, but Bartholomew finally accepted the apology in 2004. In the coming week, Sagittarius, I urge you to be inspired by their actions as you carry out an orgy of atonement. Extend forgiveness even to those who hurt you long ago, and ask for forgiveness even from those you hurt long ago. Halloween costume suggestion: religious penitent or self-flagellant.
m on r a H spa
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Lessons becoming available to you in the near future will offer more long-range benefits than you can imagine. If you take them to heart, they could influence you to make changes that will ultimately allow you to live past the age of 100. They might also help you bring your 10-year and 20year master plans into sharper focus. Added bonus: Your priorities concerning love will receive a spiritual version of a chiropractic adjustment. Halloween costume suggestion: an eager, curious student who carries books and takes notes everywhere you go.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The omurasaki butterfly is native to East Asia. Though beautiful and graceful, it’s unusually big and strong. In territorial battles over who gets the right to suck the sap of the kunugi and konara trees, it beats out all of its butterfly competitors, and is even known to chase away birds that try to horn in on its sweet treat. I suggest that you dress up as the big, purple-winged omurasaki this Halloween. It will symbolize your soul’s growing ability to be elegant yet tough — to be a gliding and lyrical yet willful force of nature.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): I predict that in the next 11 months you will be wanted, needed, desired and adored more than you ever have before. You may also be mistrusted and doubted more frequently as well. To put yourself in a frame of mind that will prepare you for this state, I suggest you choose from the following disguises for your Halloween revels: a gorgeous femme fatale, a generous billionaire or a barrel of oil.
