8FµSF 4QFDJBM 8F /FFE :PVS )FMQ MILO - A Friend to All: “I’m one friendly dog. I survived having my jaw broken when I was just 4 months old and I’ve grown into a handsome, affectionate young man. I love everyone I meet, including dogs and cats, but I might be a little too rambunctious for small children. Who is up for a run, hike and/or a doggie manners class? I know I am!”

ROSE - An Independent Spirit: “When my rescue group tried to find me a home, people said I was too aloof and confident. That hurt my feelings! I can’t help being a lady who doesn’t like being fussed over or sitting in people’s laps. But, let me sit next to you, give me a few pats and my meow will tell it all. Who wouldn’t want a Rose everyday?”

KITE - Now Here’s a Darling Boy: “I have been bounced from home to home and now I need a forever family. I’m a happy, friendly dog who loves to play. At three, I need a family that would enjoy dog training classes and would be patient with some of my quirks. I’ll trade you my tendencies for some tenderloin!”

RUBY - There is More of Me to Love: “I’m a girl of 8 who was brought to the Humane Society when my owner passed away. I’m not a lap cat, but I would love to cuddle with you on the couch in exchange for a nice brushing. I’m a calm, affectionate, mellow, social, attentive, and gentle girl looking for a quiet household.”

ZAIDA - Still a Beauty Queen: “I may be 7 years young, but I can still catch your eye. I love to swim and fetch sticks on land or in water. You like quirks? When I get overly excited I chase my tail. I think lots of love, stability and training will take care of that. Do you have a household without other cats or dogs and are you looking for someone to warm your lap? If so, I’m the one for you.”

Blog: What I Saw Today

ECO-POEMS On September 10, I attended an event at City Hall that was advertised in your paper as a poetry reading on global warming [“State of the Arts,” September 6]. Unfortunately, none of the poets had bothered to write or locate any poems on the subject. Instead, what we heard was a series of exhortations to be kind to animals and to appreciate nature. This would have been tepid fare for an Earth Day rally in the ’70s. It was an odd and dispiriting response on the part of the local literary aristocracy, out of keeping with the urgency of the issue. Global warming, although literally a huge subject, has its own concrete parameters and specificities. Maybe next time the sponsors of such an event will seek assurances that the presenters actually have something relevant to say. Seth Steinzor

A POST-INDUSTRIAL MESSAGE Down by the waterfront, across from the dog park, an old Dumpster sets against a stone wall. The wall is speckled with graffiti like “Matt reads playgirl. what a fagit.” Other sentences snake along the stones with their bloated letters and lack of surprise. Walking the path today, I saw a man lean his bike against the Dumpster. He pulled back one section of lid and peered into the small dark cavern. He pulled back the other section and seemed to recoil. He jumped on his bike, empty-handed. When I approached the steel green container, I saw what had spooked him. Spray-painted on the underside of one of the steel flaps: “Jesus wasted his time on us.” Revealed like a fortune cookie. Posted September 11 by Caleb Daniloff

Douglas speaks out against Ticonderoga’s tire burn [“Inside Track,” September 13], but that doesn’t change the fact that the harmful pollutants coming out of IP’s stacks will increase if they burn tires. It is long past time for human beings to recognize that what we

do to our air, water, soil and climate, we do to ourselves. This includes burning tires for fuel without the best possible pollution controls, releasing greenhouse gases from coal-fired power plants, and of course spending all of our resources on the military instead of on solving the tremendous problems we face. The wanton destruction of our planet for the sake of greed has gone on far too long. When will we recognize that we are all part of the same planet, stop dropping bombs and spewing pollution, and start taking care of each other and our Earth? By the way, Governor Douglas, I was in Burlington at the anti-Global Warming rally. Where were you? Joanna Colwell RIPTON

TWO SIDES Hmm. Guess you guys at Seven Days don’t coordinate your editorials — er, articles. Ken Picard writes an editorial — er, article, about how “environmentalists” fear that International Paper’s tire burn test is part of a grand conspiracy by IP to kill us all with pollution [“Governor, AG Vow to Fight Tire Burn,” September 13]. How does Ken know that “environmentalists” feel this way? Why, he quotes one eco-conspiracy theorist. Never mind whether he has the slightest 11:43 AM

Page 1

qualifications to give such an opinion. After all, he says he works for the “Northeast Clean Air Coalition” in Addison. Damn! Sounds impressive! Whatever the guy says, it must be true! And in the same issue your cartoonist Newcomb sheds light on this complicated issue by depicting an IP tire-delivery truck driving over two Vermont residents. How subtle. Meanwhile, Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,” September 13] takes his nose out of Bernie’s backside long enough to recognize the truth — whoa! — that the posturing by certain alleged Vermont political leaders on both the Republican and Democratic sides against IP’s test tire burn is just that — posturing. Remarkably, even Peter recognizes that the test is a — what’s that? — oh, yes, a test. Peter understands what the word “test” means. IP will test to see if it can stay within its discharge limits while burning tire chips instead of oil. There’s really no point in mandating the installation of certain anti-pollution equipment on a test burn that’s intended to ascertain if that anti-pollution equipment is needed in the first place, now is there? That’s called a “test.” If we insist that they install the anti-pollution equipment first, then they won’t be “testing” anything, will they? The test will be over before it started,

NEWS NEEDED Thank you so much for the recent cover story on “Project

Censored” [“The Whole Truth?” September 6]. It’s unfortunate that we have to work so hard to find out what is really going on in the world; it’s a huge frustration to me that as I need to read the Free Press daily to stay on top of whatever meager local coverage there is, I then am subject to the scandal, opinions and propaganda that poses as actual “news.” Television and even NPR are not much better. Luckily, local journalist and Toward

Freedom editor Benjamin Dangl (author of the #25 Project Censored story on the recent U.S. military base in Paraguay) has steered me toward a number of Internet news sites that have been incredibly informative: Towardfreedom.com, upside downworld.org, alter.net and Newstandardnews.net also provide numerous links. Unfortunately, many of these websites exist on a shoestring and New Standard may have to fold

if more funds are not raised. Seven Days’ coverage of the arts scene is fabulous; please consider expanding news coverage as well. We need it! Meg Gross Howard RICHMOND

BAD AD I am very offended by the ad you ran for Red Square concerning Steve Irwin [September 13]. The ad was in very bad taste and shows a complete disrespect for a fellow man. Seven Days and Red Square

should be ashamed of it and apologize to the whole community that was subjected to such morbid print. I hope that people decide to stay away from that place based on the ad. It’s disgusting and sadistic to disrespect the dead. Kathi McGrath BARRE

BURLINGTON — In the suburbs of cities such as Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Los Angeles, luxury houses of 4000 square feet or more have become increasingly common, with smaller single-family homes being routinely razed to make way for bigger constructions. But “McMansions” are not welcome here, say residents of Burlington’s prestigious South Cove neighborhood. Several South Cove homeowners objected recently when Gary and Krystyna Kaminsky of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, made plans to demolish their 2800-square-foot house at 125 South Cove Road and replace it with a 7600-square-foot structure. The new home would have been the second-largest single-family residence in Burlington; the largest, Amy Tarrant’s historic 13,600-squarefoot abode, sits on 17.6 acres near the Burlington Country Club. The neighbors complained to Burlington’s Design Advisory Board that putting such a large building on the Kaminskys’ .71acre waterfront lot would dramatically change the character of their neighborhood. After two meetings concerning the project, the DAB agreed with them and denied the application — but not before the fight got ugly. At the DAB meeting, neighbors repeatedly derided the Kaminskys’ proposed house as “ostentatious” and “offensive.” The week before, the Kaminskys had even called the Burlington Police Department to keep one irate man from setting foot on their property. South Cove resident Kathy Roberts is not surprised by the emotional debate. “You have people here who passionately, passionately love where they live,” she explains. “It’s not a trophyhome type of neighborhood. And that’s what we see happening. It’s threatening.” Last year, Roberts protested the construction of a tall, industrial-looking waterfront house at nearby 33 Eastman Way; the house went up anyway. She felt then as

if the city “didn’t want to hear it.” “You have a neighborhood here that feels they weren’t heard and weren’t listened to,” she says of the Eastman Way construction.

“From what we were told,” he says, “we need to be less than 35 feet high, and have less than 35percent lot coverage. And both of those conditions were met.”

The 7600-square-foot structure would have been the second-largest single-family residence in Burlington. “And so, in walked the Kaminskys.” The Kaminskys claim they’re not out to attack anyone — they just want to build a retirement home. Gary Kaminsky, a 65-yearold principal in a real estate firm that owns shopping centers and office buildings, says he and his wife bought a house in South Hero several years ago and fell in love with Vermont. They sold that property and bought the one on South Cove in 2004. They’ve visited occasionally ever since, and plan to retire here full time. At the DAB meeting, Krystyna Kaminsky insisted that the couple’s current house, which is only a couple of decades old, has a mildew problem and wasps in the walls. She characterized it as “extremely unlivable.” Rather than pour money into renovating the structure, she and her husband want to start over. The plans they originally brought to the DAB indicated a house with three stories, two, two-car garages, and an in-ground pool facing the lake. “Truthfully,” says Gary Kaminsky, “the house that we had planned to build I thought was very much commensurate with the one two doors away from us.” He’s referring to a 6767-square-foot house at 99 South Cove Road, completed earlier this year. And Kaminsky correctly observes that his house met the quantitative guidelines set forth in the city’s zoning regulations.

Bill Stuono, who lives across the street from the Kaminskys, points out that the city’s ordinance also discourages new constructions that would alter the character of the neighborhood. Stuono admits that there are already large homes in the South Cove area, which encompasses South Cove Road, Austin Drive, Dunder Road, Eastman Way and Oakledge. And the neighborhood is home to some well-heeled residents; former Vermont Governor Howard Dean lives here, for example. But Stuono did some digging after the Kaminskys unveiled their plan, and found that the average house size in the neighborhood is just 2600 square feet, with a dozen houses under 2000 square feet, including a 988-square-foot colonial two doors down from the Kaminskys, and Stuono’s own 1875-square-footer. Stuono says the smaller houses allow an “interesting mix” of people to live here, including young families, which gives the neighborhood a tight-knit, community feel. Stuono argues that a house the size of the Kaminskys’ would set a precedent, raising the bar for other builders, and pricing out everyone but the super-rich. Residents of this neighborhood pay some of the highest property taxes in the city, but in many cases, their views are worth more than their homes — the waterfront house at 147 South Cove Road, for example, was last assessed at just $127,900, while the land value is

Where There’s a Tire Burn, There Could Be a Sludge Burn, Enviros Fear BY KEN PICARD

Make-A-Wish Mondays! We’ll Donate $1.00 for each pizza sold every Monday in September to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Vermont!

VERMONT — International Paper’s effort to test-burn shredded tires for fuel at its Ticonderoga mill is Vermont’s current environmental cause célèbre. But amid all the official posturing, legal maneuvering and media scrutiny, some Vermont environmentalists warn that the tire-burn debate obscures another potential health hazard lurking in the future: the incineration of IP’s papermaking sludge. In June, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation tentatively approved IP’s application to renew its Title V air pollution permit. Among other things, that permit allows the mill to mix waste-treatment sludge with wood and burn up to 40 cubic yards of it every day. Currently, IP-Ticonderoga doesn’t burn its sludge. According to company spokesperson Donna Wadsworth, it has no plans to do so in the near future. She explains that several years ago the mill experimented, unsuccessfully, with burning sludge, but couldn’t reduce its moisture content enough to make it a viable fuel source. Wadsworth adds that the company even invested $250,000 in dewatering equipment, which later was mothballed. Sludge is a major waste-management concern for the pulp and paper industry in general, and for IP-Ticonderoga in particular. In 2004, the IP-Ticonderoga mill generated more than 56,000 pounds of solid waste, according to the EPA’s Toxic Release Index database. Unlike some states, New York doesn’t allow sludge to be used as land cover, fertilizer or compost. Solid waste filtered from the plant’s effluent must be mixed with sand, land-filled onsite and covered daily. But IP will eventually run out of on-site landfill space, making incineration an attractive and cost-effective option. In fact, the pulp and paper

industry is the single largest user of biomass fuels such as sludge, according to the International Council of Forest and Paper Associations. And EPA documents indicate that many other paper mills around the country already burn sludge for fuel, including IP mills in Jay, Maine; Courtland, Alabama; and Riegelwood, North Carolina.

But environmentalists point out that burning sludge produces many of the same toxins as are created by burning tires. B.J. Ernst, with the Northeast Clean Air Coalition in Addison, opposes IP’s effort to burn sludge and tirederived fuel (TDF). She claims that one reason IP wants to test-burn TDF is to see if its boilers can get hot enough to eventually burn sludge there as well. IP’s pending test-burn permit, it should be noted, would not allow sludge to be burned with TDF. Richard Carpenter, president of People for Less Pollution (PLP) in Orwell, which also opposes the tire test burn, says that despite IP’s denials, burning sludge remains a concern as long as IP’s air pollution permit allows the mill to do so. “Our chemical engineers are as concerned about burning sludge as they are about burning tires,” he says. “They’re certainly in the same category.” When PLP’s chemical engineer reviewed New York DEC documents from IP’s last sludge burn in September 1999, they found numerous heavy metals and other contaminants had been released, Carpenter adds.

“rotten-egg” smell often associated with paper mills. Burning sludge can increase hydrogen sulfide emissions, Zeller notes. In November 2005, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill published a study linking the release of hydrogen sulfide and other airborne chemicals at another paper mill — not IP’s — to elevated suicide rates in one North Carolina county. According to the report, this was the second study to suggest a possible link between increased suicide rates and chemical exposure from paper mills. But as IP-Ticonderoga’s Wads2x7-Windjammer091306 worth points out, each IP mill uses different chemicals and processes, depending upon the types of paper they produce. Comparing 2x4-sweet092006.indd 1 what comes out of the Ticonderoga mill to other mills around the country is “like apples and oranges,” says Wadsworth. She emphasizes that IP is continually exploring new ways to handle its sludge. “It would make sense to put it to some beneficial use, whether it’s fertilizer, land cover or fuel,” Wadsworth says. “But right now, we’re not there yet.” m

more than $675,000. Newer, bigger homes are assessed much higher. 99 South Cove, completed last year, came in at almost $1.1 million. Add another $642,700 for the land it’s on, and you’ve got a $1.7 million property. The Kaminskys’ current house is assessed at $313,200. Whatever they build will almost certainly be worth far more. That bumps up the values of neighboring houses, and, eventually, property taxes. Stuono also asserts that Burlington’s high-density, 35-percent lot-coverage rule is inappropriate here. All of the original houses on South Cove Road were governed by covenants that mandated larger setbacks than the city now requires. This has given the area a lot of green space and many expansive lawns. The covenants expired in the 1980s, so technically, owners aren’t required to abide by them — the Kaminskys’ planned house didn’t — but so far everyone else has. Stuono also notes that most of the neighborhood’s other

4000-plus-square-foot houses sit on larger lots. Stuono says he spoke with the Kaminskys about his concerns during the first week in September. He explained to them that he and other neighbors were worried about the size of the house. They were unreceptive, Stuono claims. “They said things like, ‘We think everybody should tear down their houses to match ours,’” Stuono charges, “and ‘If you had the money to tear down your house and build this, wouldn’t you?’” He was surprised when, the next day, a police officer showed up on his doorstep to give him a trespass notification, barring him from visiting the Kaminskys’ property for one year. But Gary Kaminsky recalls that encounter differently. He claims neither he nor his wife said anything about anyone else’s house; they just tried to make Stuono understand that they didn’t care what he does on his property, and he shouldn’t care what they do on theirs. According to Kaminsky, the

conversation ended with Stuono pointing his finger and screaming at them “at the top of his lungs.” “He was saying, ‘I’m going to get you, I’m going to get you, I’m going to make you the most hated person in the neighborhood,’” Kaminsky remembers. “I felt quite threatened, and I wanted to put it on record.” The episode clearly surprised the Kaminskys, as did their neighbors’ vociferous opposition at the DAB meeting, and the DAB’s denial of their proposal. As a result, they’ve decided to downsize their house. They’re scheduled to present new plans to the DAB on October 10. Gary Kaminsky says he wants to build something that will be welcome in the South Cove neighborhood. “We don’t want anybody to be upset with us,” he says. “If in any way I did anything to offend anybody, I certainly would apologize profusely. The last thing in the world I want to do at this stage in my life is have any confrontation with anybody, let alone my neighbors.” m

The IP plant in Riegelwood, North Carolina, which currently burns sludge, has met with significant community opposition, according to Louis Zeller of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League in Glendale Springs, North Carolina. Of particular concern, says Zeller, has been an increase in the release of hydrogen sulfide, a colorless gas that produces the

NOISE

Students Ask Classmates to Keep It Down

BY CATHY RESMER

fri 9/22 — sat 9/23 BURLINGTON — Late-night disturbance is a perennial problem in Burlington’s neighborhoods, thanks mainly to the throngs of college students headed between home and house parties or downtown bars. The University of Vermont has stepped up efforts in the past two years to eliminate this “walk-by noise.” One of the school’s most visible campaigns is the “Have a Heart” initiative. The peer-to-peer program places student volunteers at various intersections on weekend evenings — most recently last Friday. These student ambassadors distribute latenight campus bus schedules and hand out chocolate hearts to their fellow classmates. Get it? Have a heart, shut your mouth. Gail Shampnois, director of UVM’s Office of Student and Community Relations, explains that “giving the students something visual to remember and a friendly conversation” is designed to encourage them to pipe down. “When you approach students as partners,” she says, “you get such a good response.” Well, sometimes. UVM junior Scott McCarty and senior Erin Renz started their “shift” at 10 p.m. on September 15. McCarty, a student government representative, and Renz, president of UVM’s Panhellenic Council, which governs the school’s sororities, were stationed at the corner of Main and South Prospect streets. They cheerfully intercepted students on their way downtown. “Hey, guys,” McCarty greeted a group of five UVMers. “We’re doing a Have a Heart campaign to raise awareness about noise and stuff like that. On the way back up, just remember that there are, like, families who live here.” “Sure, right on,” answered one. “Definitely,” added another. Both took McCarty’s flyers and Renz’s candy hearts. After they’d passed, McCarty offered an optimistic assessment of town-gown relations. “It’s getting better,” he said of the noise problem. “I think people need to give students credit. We do get stuff.” But he’s also realistic. After talking with a group of six students — all in their first year, he guessed — McCarty shook his head. “Oooh, they reeked,” he observed. Of what? “What do you think?” he replied. “Alcohol.” McCarty and Renz admitted that, though the university has instituted a dry-dorms policy, a number of intoxicated kids still head down the hill. And the drunk ones tend to be the loudest. Take the girl who identified herself as a fresh-

She accepted a heart and a flyer, and listened to Renz’s pitch about walkby noise, but she was apparently too intoxicated to care about waking the neighbors. At one point, she cut the do-gooders off mid-sentence with a wave of her hand, and wobbled from the sidewalk to the curb. “What?” she shouted to a guy standing across Main Street on the UVM green. “Come over!

McCarty turned to the girl’s friends. “See?” he muttered. “That’s what we’re trying to prevent.” After they’d walked away, McCarty shrugged. “We tried,” he said. Forty-five minutes later, after McCarty and Renz had called it a night, that D.C. frosh reappeared ambling down South Willard Street. After telling her male companion she had to pee, she ducked behind three trees on the lawn of the Snelling Center for Government and started to hitch up her skirt. Advised by a reporter that public urination is illegal in Burlington, she stopped mid-squat, perplexed. “Is it really?” she asked quietly. At least she wasn’t yelling. m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

November Nail Biter

ermont has two federal races this fall, but only one of them is a sure thing. In the U.S. Senate race, we’ve already declared Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders the winner over GOP gazillionaire Rich Tarrant. It’s been nothing short of a Tarrant embarrassment so far. And not even the little pot bust of Bernie supporter Willie Nelson in Louisiana on Monday is going to change that. It’s the race for Ol’ Bernardo’s open U.S. House seat that promises to be Vermont’s November 7 nail biter. Democrat State Sen. Peter Welch is holding a six-point lead over Republican General Martha Rainville (47-41), according to the Sanders Campaign’s weekend tracking poll of 500 likely voters. But think of it as a dead heat. That’s because, as of Tuesday afternoon, the Republican National Congressional Committee hasn’t started airing its expected arsenal of ads attacking Mr. Welch. You know, the ones that will paint him as a greedy little ambulance-chaser who was late reporting his annual income to the Federal Elections Commission? Marvelous Martha’s strategy is to avoid direct attacks on Welchie, promote goodness, virtue and her military record, and let the RNCC do the dirty work. The Welch crew knows it’s coming and anticipates Pedro will experience a drop in the polls as a result. Their challenge will be figuring out how to effectively respond. So far Welch, the Democratic attorney, widower and dog owner, has had one message and one message only: A vote for Martha is a vote for George W. Bush. Indeed, control of the U.S. House of Representatives is actually in play for the first time in 12 years. The key will be Vermont’s old “Howard Dean Democrats.” Remember them? Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, we used to call them the Blue Dog Democrats in the Vermont House — 12 to 15 moderate Ds who would join with the minority House Republicans to stop the liberal Democrat leadership dead in its tracks. It’s all about who can get 76 votes. The Statehouse Blue Dogs and the Election Day Howard Dean Democrats were prominent in the days before Ho-Ho had his 21st-century political sex-change operation on the road to the White House. They’re middle-of-the-roaders, and they swing both ways depending on the horse in the race. Rep. Ruthless Ruth Dwyer of Thetford, who lost to Dean twice (1998 and 2000), was a bit too far to the right for them. But they’ve preferred Republican Jim Douglas over Doug Racine (2002) and Peter Clavelle (2004). And a lot of them have come to like Bernie over the years (as had Ho-Ho himself ). Who will they back in the congressional race? Well, Martha Rainville sure ain’t no Ruth Dwyer. And Peter Welch does not rekindle memories of Howard Dean. It’s a wide-open race, folks, and one that sure makes us appreciate this democracy thing. Every vote is going to count, and the

outcome of Vermont’s vote just might decide the balance of power in Congress. No big deal.

review and lots has changed since then. I don’t see how an appeal of this is going to result in any decision different than what Judge Sessions ruled.” Actually, it’s tough to argue with her. Sessions was only upholding the oldest environmental law in the country. What was Gov. Scissorhands thinking? Maybe he was thinking that if it took a federal judge to stop him, Big Blue couldn’t complain that Vermont’s GOP chief executive didn’t do everything possible to build their IBM Highway? And there’s no sign he’s stopped trying, either. Meanwhile, a new consultant’s traffic study for the Town of Williston throws more cold water on the Phantom Circ Highway. According to Brian Dunkiel, an attorney with the Smart Growth Collaborative, the study of a new road grid for the fast-growing, former rural community examines how things would work with or without the Circ Highway. “The study found,” said Dunkiel, “that the Circ would have minimal beneficial impacts on Williston.” Indeed, the study by RSG Inc., found the Circ would only result in “minor” differences in traffic volume along Williston roads. Interesting. Also interesting, said Dunkiel, was the fact that Neale Lunderville was testifying at the Statehouse Tuesday morning about AOT, his new bailiwick, being $10.5 million over budget. “When you see that VTrans is over budget,” said Dunkiel, “and also note the Douglas administration is seeking expensive litigation over the Circ, it demonstrates that the governor’s ‘Agenda of Affordability’ is “little more than a slogan.” Ouch. Unfortunately for Dunkiel and his allies, the latest weekend tracking poll conducted by Bernie Sanders’ campaign found Gov. Douglas looking solid and steady at 54 percent. His Democratic challenger, Scudder Parker, had dropped down to 31 percent support. Jimmy D’s attack ad last week may have drawn some blood, eh? Scudder Who? — That’s what Susan, my longtime barber (since the early 1980s) wanted to know Monday. “Who is Scudder Parker?” she asked while cutting through the thick Irish mop on top. Then there was the Rutland caller on “The Mark Johnson Show” the other day. She wasn’t a Jim Douglas fan and urged Ol’ Scudder to get down to Rutland and hold some big media event soon, “because people do not know who you are.” Folks, if Susan the Burlington Barber and the folks in Rutland do not know who Scudder Parker is 50 days before the November election, does anyone seriously think the ex-minister, ex-state senator and ex-energy expert has a snowball’s chance in Baghdad of upsetting the incumbent? If he does, somebody better be

keeping good notes, because they will be covering a Vermont political miracle. P.S. Candidate Parker, the Democrat who wants to be your next governor, hit the TV screens of Vermont with his first ad Tuesday. You can catch it here: www.scudderparker.com/com mercial.html. Camera Shy? — Meanwhile Parker’s opponent, Gov. Jim Douglas, has won a rather prestigious award from the Defense Department! Along with Starbucks and DuPont and other employers, the state of Vermont was picked as one of 15 “outstanding employers” of National Guard members. According to Major Rob Palmer at the National Guard Bureau in Washington, Vermont won because Gov. Douglas has attended nearly all the mobilization and welcome-home ceremonies, including funerals. But Vermont’s governor has decided not to attend the awards ceremony in D.C., Thursday night, even though the awards will be given out by a Montpelier, Vermont, native – Gen. Richard Cody, vice-chief of staff of the U.S. Army. Nor will Vermont’s Guv visit the White House on Friday morning for a photo op with President George W. Bush and reps from the other 14 winners. We checked out Douglas’ gubernatorial public appearance schedule, and all Jimbo’s got on it Thursday is a lunchtime speech to the Vermont Chamber of Commerce — his troops — and a Friday afternoon drop-in visit to the Daughters of the American Revolution meeting at Montpeculiar’s Capitol Plaza Hotel. That’s right, the Daughters of the American Revolution. Word is, he’s sending Secretary of Administration Mike Smith, ex-Navy Seal, as his stand-in. Let’s be real, folks. Vermont’s Republican governor does not want to get within 100 miles of the White House right now. Sorry, Scudder. Besides, he has a great excuse: He’ll be debating Ol’ Scudder at the Barre Opera House on Thursday — a 7:30 p.m. debate sponsored by a very Douglasfriendly Vermont Business Coalition PAC. Members include the fuel dealers, the state Chamber of Commerce, the grocers, the auto dealers and the realtors. The VBC PAC has put out a list of more than 50 targeted Democratic state reps, some without opponents on the November ballot. Dumb move. Candidate Parker better bring along a flak jacket and a few supporters. This one could get lively.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, On a recent visit to Chicago, I noticed that Lake Michigan, close to shore, looks more like the waters of the Caribbean (crystal clear, light aqua color). When I grew up in the city years ago the lake was just a bucket of sludge. Iâ€™m told the change in clarity is due to zebra mussels flushed out of the bilges of tankers visiting from Asia. These mussels, I understand, consume the sludge and act like filters, creating the crystal clear waters we see today. Is this true, and will we soon see palm trees on Lake Shore Drive? Chris, New Hope, Pennsylvania Palm trees, no. Thereâ€™s this thing in Chicago called winter that the zebra mussels havenâ€™t been able to do much about. But you heard right â€” zebra mussels are filtering Lake Michiganâ€™s once-turbid water. The accompanying color change is due to an increase in Cladophora, a type of green algae that thrives on the sunlight that now penetrates farther into the lakeâ€™s depths. Before you start planning any scenic snorkeling trips, though, let me tell you the bad news about whatâ€™s happening to the lakes. The zebra mussel is a freshwater bivalve that originated in Russia (it was reported in the Caspian Sea in 1769) and spread through much of northern Europe by the 20th century. The mussels were first spotted in the United States in 1988, allegedly having made their way here in the ballast water of one or more transoceanic ships. When such water was mistakenly dumped into Lake St. Clair (between lakes Erie and Huron), the aquatic life within â€” including, apparently, zebra mussels â€” was released to the environment. Since then the mussels have spread throughout the Great Lakes, much of the Mississippi River system, and even to freshwater ponds and rock quarries. While zebra mussels arguably have made the lakes prettier, in other respects theyâ€™re pests. A female can lay more than 100,000 eggs in a year; having few natural predators, the mussels accumulate quickly, reaching densities in the tens of thousands per square meter. With their small size (2 inches tops) and tenacious grip they can easily foul equipment on ships, at water treatment facilities, etc. â€” an engineer I know reports seeing them piled up 6 feet thick in a power plant water intake. Though not ranking with the giant squid as one of the terrors of the deep, zebra mussels lean on other aquatic wildlife pretty hard, too. Clams and crustaceans can end up with so many mussels attached that theyâ€™re essentially smothered under the weight. A zebra mussel is a living water filter, capable of processing about a quart per day. Levels of diatoms â€” certain single-celled algae â€” decreased between 82 and 91 percent in Lake Erie after zebra mussels were introduced; the Hudson River saw an 85 percent decrease in plankton after a similar invasion. Lake Michigan, which was formerly cloudy, has been cleared

up noticeably by the hardworking little mollusks. Cleaning up the lakes doesnâ€™t sound like a bad thing, but itâ€™s no unalloyed boon. By removing all that plankton, etc., from the water, zebra mussels steal food from native aquatic life, such as other invertebrates and fish. Then thereâ€™s the Cladophora. Always present in Lake Michigan and other Great Lakes, it was a problem years ago when farms and industry dumped high levels of phosphorus into the lake, leading to algae â€œblooms.â€? Thanks to water-quality regulations, Cladophora for a time was fairly well controlled. Then the zebra mussels showed up and began thinning out the lakesâ€™ protective murk. The algae went nuts. Itâ€™s been shown that zebra mussel feces are a good food source for algae, making the problem worse. A little algae may improve the lakeâ€™s aesthetics, but a lot doesnâ€™t. Cladophora blooms result in large mats of the stuff washing up onto the beaches. Itâ€™s not toxic to humans, but too much looks and smells gross. Worse, seagulls, ducks and other birds feed on zebra mussels and such hiding in the clumps, resulting in higher levels of bird feces and E. coli and forcing more frequent beach closures. Desperate officials in Chicago this summer were reduced to signing up border collies to patrol city beaches and chase the birds away. The long-term environmental impact of zebra mussels is uncertain, but since the chances of losing them are slim, weâ€™ve little choice but to adapt. In that vein, a question Iâ€™ve been asked lately is whether zebra mussels are edible. The answer is a guarded yes. Theyâ€™re small and a bit tough, and even devotees of Ohio River delicacies usually wonâ€™t eat them. After a lifetime of filtration, the mussels accumulate a lot of nasty stuff such as pesticides and heavy metals. Eh, youâ€™re thinking, maybe Iâ€™ll stick to the catfish. OK, but skip any from the Kalamazoo River, which enters Lake Michiganâ€™s crystal clear waters near the resort town of Saugatuck. The EPA says theyâ€™re toxic due to pollution with PCBs. CECIL ADAMS

Many immigrants arenâ€™t taking advantage of the opportunity, however. â€œThey ignore it a lot,â€? said rancher Paul Johnson, who protects his 2700-acre exotic game ranch with about 10 miles of high wire fence. â€œTheyâ€™re afraid that theyâ€™re monitored by the Border Patrol.â€?

After Berisha hailed him as a â€œsuccess story,â€? Ridge said he found Berisha â€œvery passionate and compelling,â€? adding that the government was â€œpassionately committedâ€? to reform. Terms were not disclosed, but a government official said Ridge will visit Albania every two months and is supposed to use his connections to make the United States aware of the former anti-social socialist stateâ€™s efforts.

Police in Decatur, Ala., arrested four neighbors after a daylong argument escalated into a fight that sent three of them to the hospital. The cause, according to police Lt.

Bradford shouted his objection, and the two argued about the butt all day. Eventually, Rayâ€™s sister, Shirley Lynn Ray White, 32, who lives across the street, tangled with Bradfordâ€™s wife, Heather Mills Bradford, 27, and the men joined in. â€œItâ€™s sad that people were injured over a cigarette butt,â€?

INSURANCE ON YOUR NEW HOME When you obtain a mortgage to purchase a home, the lender will require that you show that you have prepaid for one year of homeownerâ€™s insurance. In the past, insurance companies could provide such a policy on short notice. In todayâ€™s market obtaining the appropriate coverage can take days, or even weeks. Advanced planning for this insurance requirement allows you to shop around for the best rate as well as the coverage that best suits your needs. Finding a good insurance agent is important. Work with a firm that has served you well in the past, or ask your friends, co-workers and family for a referral. Your mortgage officer or Realtor can also refer you to agents that they have worked with in the past. When shopping for the best policy, compare rates but be mindful of the total package. Often the difference in price is insignificant when compared to having the correct coverage along with prompt local service.

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

Unhappy Anniversaries

eave it to me to get to New York City just after the woefully patriotic celebration of the fifth anniversary of 9/11. I’ve always been a bit behind the news, which makes for better writing and more interesting stories. But it deprives me of the chance to be penned up by Homeland Security, with hundreds of others of my profession, in a specially guarded, yellow-taped corral near Ground Zero, watching the buffoon who currently occupies the White House lay a wreath and drop a tear, with his lovely wife Laura by his side. Frankly, I like Laura Bush. Sure, she’s a zombie, but she did stand up to DingDong’s mother when they were introduced. The First Monster, in her “traditional blue suit and trademark pearls,” held out her claw and asked Laura, “And what do you do?” Laura reportedly answered, “I read and I smoke.” I like that in a woman. Especially the smoking part, since Laura’s taste in reading, having begun with Dickens,

I don’t remember the number killed in New York on that day in 1993, when the “Twin Towers” were first hit. Trollope, Tolstoy, Twain and Beaudelaire, was forced by national security to morph into something between the Smurfs and Judy Blume. I don’t really think she knew what she was in for when she married a man who thinks fart jokes are funny, who has declared on the record that he and his father talk about “pussy” when they’re alone together, and who knows no more about the job he’s doing than I would if I were suddenly employed as a veterinarian. OK, so it’s this “job” thing that Mr. Bush is always on about. You know: “I’ve got a hard job.” “My job is to protect Americans.” “It’s very, very hard.” As if it had once been easy to be president of the United States, and as if “the job” concerned something other than the public trust. Here’s my favorite Bush quote — long, but still my favorite. “I clearly see the threats to America. My job is to worry about those threats. That’s not your job. We got a lot of people in government worrying about those threats on your behalf, so you can go about your life. That’s what we want. I knew after September the 11th, people would — they would tend to forget the nature of the enemy and forget the war, because it’s natural. Who wants to live all your day worried about the next attack? That’s my job, to worry about the attack.” Oh, lucky us! That such a thing could ever inhabit a house once occupied by

Lincoln and Roosevelt is beyond comprehension, but there you are. As it happens, I was living in New York the first time the terriers hit the World Trade Center, on a sunny day in March 1993. It was a freaky experience, believe me. It brought the whole city to a stop, which is hard to do in New York without nuking it. The only other time I remember that kind of thing happening — before 9/11, I mean — was about a year later, when Jackie Onassis, riddled with cancer, left her hospital to die at home. A kind of hush fell over the town Engagement rings in 18k — a sort of apprehension that the whole with diamonds and sapphires city observed without being instructed to do so.

Spread Frederic

A Frederic Chiu, UVM Recital Hall, Burlington, October 6, 7:30 p.m. $35. Tickets, 863-5966. Web extra: See “State of the Arts” at www.seven daysvt.com for a list of other solo pianists coming to the area this season.

t a Lane Series concert last May, Director Jane Ambrose made an announcement: The upcoming season would be a “Fred Chiu Year.” The audience responded with simultaneous sighs. Chiu is to Vermont devotees of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms as Justin Timberlake is to teeny-boppers. Now in its 26th year, the UVM series offers intimate concerts — about half of them classical chamber ensembles and solo pianists such as Chiu, and the rest a mix of world music, folk and jazz. Regulars return year after year to hear rising stars, internationally touring quartets and, every other year, pianist Frederic Chiu. His October 6 concert marks his seventh here since 1994. “Besides St. Patrick’s Day,” Ambrose confirms, “he’s our biggest seller.” Chiu, 41, is an Asian-American who grew up in Indiana. He studied artificial intelligence at Indiana University before attending Juilliard. He first achieved national notice when he competed in the 1993 Van Cliburn Competition — and lost. FREDERIC CHIU

Featured in a film about the event, he wowed viewers. “He was kind of a maverick,” explains Burlington piano instructor Carol Hewitt. “He’s hip and the judges aren’t,” she suggests, noting that he pulls his long hair back in a ponytail and prefers a folding chair to the standard piano stool. The Van Cliburn judges “don’t like non-traditionalists,” she adds. But Vermonters do. “It kind of gave him the status of the underdog.” Chiu’s not just any underdog, however. He plays brilliantly. “One cannot imagine playing more elegant, more refined, more spiritual than Chiu’s,” gushes Le Monde of Paris. “He’s so confident and so good,” adds Ambrose. “He gets so deeply into whatever he plays that we hear things we’ve never heard before.” His expressive articulation brings out the music’s structural nuances and emotional underpinnings. Personality is another part of Chiu’s appeal. His charismatic stage presence comes across even before he sits down at the keyboard. Soft-spoken and articulate, he unassumingly shares his personal connections to a selection. These explanations are generous, but never didactic. “A concert is a concert,” he insists in a phone interview from his home in Westport, Connecticut. “It’s not a lesson. At the Lane Series I’m very conscious that it is a concert. But I try to bring the audience into

my thought process.” Those thoughts often place a piece within the arc of a composer’s career. More than most performers, Chiu immerses himself in the entire oeuvre of an artist. “If I have a connection with a piece,” he explains, “I’d like to know how it fits in the whole chain of events, so I’m naturally drawn to understand the rest of the repertory.” His 20-plus CDs include Prokofiev’s entire output for solo piano and a comprehensive collection of Liszt’s transcriptions of songs by Schubert. Also unusual among pianists is Chiu’s interest in works originally composed for other instruments. He writes his own transcriptions, sometimes to better experience the music for himself. Case in point: his setting of Prokofiev’s “Lieutenant Kije Suite,” which he played as one of three encores the last time he was in town. He’s bringing it back this year. Chiu’s associations with the piece are personal. He remembered a particular recording of it his father played when he was little. “I tried to track it down but couldn’t find the right one,” he explains. Chiu’s piano version is so true that a radio announcer who heard it was able to identify the original recording: Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony in the 1950s. “The colorations were exactly what were in my ear,” Chiu marvels. Piano transcriptions also help the audience hear familiar works as new. Chiu will play Busoni’s piano settings of Bach chorales and — in a last-minute addition to the program — his own recent transcription of the aria “Erbarme Dich” from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. The evening’s centerpiece is Liszt’s piano transcription of Beethoven’s Fifth. Chiu describes it as “almost a photographic reproduction of the symphonic score.” “It’s a huge challenge, maybe one of the most difficult works ever written for piano,” he says. “You’re one player doing the work of 50.” Although Chiu’s performances are typically confident, on this one, the audience will see and hear the effort — which is as it should be, Chiu notes. “The piece is all about challenge and overcoming struggle.” His striving “will be part of the act,” he suggests. Audience members who like the effect will be glad to know there’s more where that came from. The Beethoven is the first in a series of symphonic piano programs Chiu hopes to present in coming years, including at UVM. But keyboard connoisseurs don’t have to wait for the next “Fred Year” to hear more great piano. In November, the Lane Series hosts Yevgeny Sudbin, hailed by the London Telegraph as “the best pianist of his generation,” according to Ambrose. In March, Burlington welcomes Jonathan Biss, who had planned to play UVM a few years back but rescheduled when an invitation turned up to solo with the Chicago Symphony. The piano season closes with newcomer Maria Mazo — who took two prizes for interpretation at last year’s Van Cliburn. Sounds promising. m

iven its focus on all things verbal, it’s appropriate that the second annual Burlington Book Festival opened with a politician confused by a pun. Last Friday evening, in the newly opened Presentation Hall in the Lake & College building, Mayor Bob Kiss welcomed about 30 attendees to the weekend of author readings and other literary events. “‘Three days of authorized activity,’” Kiss said, quoting the festival’s promotional tagline. He proceeded to speculate about what the event’s “unauthorized” activities might be. The mayor should be forgiven for not realizing that “author-ized activity” was

over Lake Champlain. By 7:30, the light has faded, and equally massive black shades slide soundlessly into place as Ellen Bryant Voigt takes the podium. Much-published Voigt was the fourth to hold the title of Vermont state poet. Compact and matronly, with round glasses and a no-nonsense aura, she looks like a well-respected high school principal. Then she opens her mouth and reads a brutally unsentimental poem about rounding up cows for slaughter, featuring lines that evoke streams of bovine piss and a farmer falling on the shit-slick ground.

mere wordplay, courtesy of festival director Rick Kisonak. After all, so much of what authors do is, in a sense, “unauthorized” — unscheduled, unsalaried and unrewarded. Rare is the non-best-selling scribbler who can call writing a day job. Traditionally, writers have escaped to various “underground” environments — the 19th-century garret, the locked study, the smoky club that hosts poetry slams — in order to “author-ize” in peace. That’s the sort of unauthorized activity without which books and book festivals wouldn’t exist. Still, it’s good to see writers resting on their laurels and meeting their public, and that’s what the festival offered last weekend. While the preceding weekend’s South End Art Hop had crowds and a carnival atmosphere, the Book Festival was more staid. Gray heads outnumbered younger ones in the audience, and the events were often reminiscent of sitting in a college classroom. Burlington novelist Chris Bohjalian summed up the festival when he welcomed the audience to his reading by saying, “You are the medieval monks of the digital age.” To appreciate the weekend’s events, you needed an old-fashioned attention span — but that doesn’t mean they were boring. Here’s a diary of highlights from Friday and Saturday. Friday, 7 p.m. The festival’s opening and in-absentia dedication to Senator Jim Jeffords are longwinded, but one speaker bears happy news. Williston’s Stern Center for Language and Learning, one of the festival partners, has just received a grant from the Jessie B. Cox Charitable Trust that will bring thousands of dollars to Burlington literacy efforts. Designed as a cinema, Lake & College’s Presentation Hall features a massive fanwindow that frames the last glow of sunset “Underlines” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

Originally from North Carolina, Voigt has an accent that rounds her words and chops their final consonants. Together with her strong sense of rhythm, this gives her lines a tangible quality, a bite, whether she’s describing a ray swimming in the Baltimore Aquarium or a childhood memory of her dad disemboweling a turtle and attempting to serve it for dinner. Voigt’s approach to her subjects is sometimes abstract, sometimes mercilessly concrete, and always compelling. At one point, she stops to give the audience a quick lecture on rhythm in free verse, without appearing to lose its attention. Poetry slams are great, but it’s nice to be reminded that an old-fashioned reading can — and should — kick ass. Saturday, 1 p.m. In the Fletcher Room at the Fletcher Free Library, South Burlington cartoonist Harry Bliss is reading his hate mail aloud. Clearly not everybody cottons to the low-key black humor of Bliss’s single-panel cartoons, which have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, Seven Days and many other publications. Next up is a slide show. Bliss shows works by other members of his artistic Rochester, New York, family to an audience of about two dozen. There’s also a photo of himself as a very young artist, looking like Harry Potter in a long-haired phase. (“The ’70s were good to me,” he says.) Next come examples of Bliss’s cartoons and New Yorker covers. They range from the macabre-funny — the lion statue outside the New York Public Library licks pigeon blood from its lips — to the macabre-serious: a take-off on Picasso’s “Guernica” to mark the start of the Iraq War. Most of the images provoke giggles from the audience, but Bliss doesn’t seem perturbed when jokes fall flat. “You don’t think that’s funny? I thought that was funny,” he says. Meanwhile, over at Borders Books & Music, Rolling Stone critic Anthony DeCurtis is chatting about his new collection of interviews with celebrity creators, In Other Words: Artists Talk About Life and Work.

One man asks how it’s possible to get people to open up when you carry a tape recorder. “I don’t hide anything,” DeCurtis says. “The goal is to get them ‘in the zone.’ They’re not thinking about me, they’re speaking from their passion.” 2:30 p.m. Speaking from passion is something Marc Estrin knows about. The acclaimed Burlington novelist, bearish with a full beard, is giving an “interactive presentation” on his upcoming third novel, Golem Song. “Does anyone know what a golem is?” he asks the audience, which is packed into two long tables in the incongruous setting of Lake & College’s Board Room. “It’s not Gollum from Lord of the Rings.”

Poetry slams are great, but it’s nice to be reminded that an old-fashioned reading can — and should — kick ass.

Two well-read attendees immediately come up with the answer. According to legend, a 16th-century rabbi in Prague created a monstrous “golem” of clay to defend the Jewish ghetto from pogroms. The golem went rogue and committed random acts of violence, and the rabbi was forced to destroy it. Estrin’s novel is about a modern-day New Yorker who comes up with a violent plan for delivering Jews from the threat of antiSemitism. Estrin says he wrote without the golem in mind, but the novel ended up being about “golemism.” And what is golemism? “It’s the myth of our time,” says Estrin. “We’ve turned stuff on that we can’t turn off.” Created out of fear, golems are monsters that threaten their creators along with everyone else. Estrin’s topical examples of golems range from the atomic bomb to the Neoconservative agenda to the overuse of antibiotics to Israel’s bombing of Lebanon. The last example touches off debate in the audience. At 3:45, a small knot of participants are still arguing over whether Hezbollah and Hamas have created their own golems, demonizing the West. “It cuts both ways,” a woman says passionately. 4:30 p.m. If Estrin resembles a leftist college prof with a Joycean gift of gab, Chris Bohjalian is the consummate showman. Dressed in black and oozing bonhomie, he greets his audience in Lake & College’s Black Box Theater by saying that he prefers readings like this to plugging his novels on tour, or, as he puts it, “being a slimedog of literary capitalism.” A series of well-told anecdotes follows. We learn that being an Oprah’s Book Club pick isn’t just about soaring sales: Bohjalian recalls being approached by a self-published author who wondered where he could get a batch of those handy Oprah stickers. Then there was the time he appeared on a talk show and got upstaged by a raptor. Banter over, Bohjalian reads from his new work, The Double Bind, to appear in five months. His first novel set in Burlington, it’s partially based on the true story of a worker from the Committee on Temporary Shelter who discovered a celebrated photographer living homeless. You can see the work of late photographer Bob Campbell on the author’s website, Chrisbohjalian.com. When Bohjalian takes questions, many of them involve his earlier novels. One woman asks for an explanation of a crucial event at the end of Midwives. Another wants to know whether a chapter in Before You Know Kindness was meant to be funny. “I thought it was, but my family says I’m sick!” she says, sounding worried. Unlike some authors, Bohjalian doesn’t pretend to be above explaining his own work. He confirms that the chapter was supposed to be dark humor and thanks his reader for getting the joke. At this point, the festival is far from over. More author appearances and a whole day of events for kids are still to come, not to mention the closing reading by poet Robert Bly. But the exchange between Bohjalian and his fan encapsulates what’s refreshing about the Book Fest. In roomy venues, with none of the pressures of a signing-andselling session, readers can talk back to authors and get answers — “authorized” or not. If you missed the Burlington Book Festival, trek south for the Brattleboro Literary Festival, running October 6-8. Check out www.brattleboroliteraryfestival.org. Among the guests are Madison Smartt Bell and a trio of acclaimed female novelists: Deborah Eisenberg, Mary Gaitskill and Jamaica Kincaid. m

ince the first â€œSurvivorâ€? contestant got voted off the island in the summer of 2000, the process of elimination has all but replaced plot as the primary driving force in television programming. Where shows once navigated story arcs toward season-concluding cliffhangers, now they increasingly consist of contests that start out with a crowd of players and then, week by week, whittle it down to a single, well, survivor. How did you spend your summer? If youâ€™re anything like the majority of Americans, you started it watching one contestant after another lose any hope of emerging as champion on â€œAmerican Idol.â€? After that, you struggled desperately to fill the entertainment void in its wake by watching pale elimination imitations such as â€œAmericaâ€™s Got Talent,â€? â€œSo You Think You Can Dance,â€? â€œMaster of Champions,â€? â€œThe One: Making A Music Starâ€? and â€œBig Brother All Stars.â€? As autumn loomed, you wondered what to do with your life after the final episode of â€œRock Star: Supernova.â€? The â€œRock Starâ€? series is weirdly compelling viewing for a number of reasons. First, itâ€™s one of the few â€œIdolâ€? clones that doesnâ€™t commit the fatal mistake of hiring a Simon Cowell clone. Second, itâ€™s got two hosts, a bafflingly redundant system that ping-pongs the viewer between former pin-up model and â€œWild Onâ€? personality Brooke Burke and Dave Navarro, a once-relevant guitarist who comes off as surprisingly lucid given his taste in tattoos, mascara and women who used to be married to Dennis Rodman. Once-relevant drummer and foreverlegendary Internet porn star Tommy Lee somehow wound up the designated eliminator for the season. Imagine having your fate in his hands. What makes the show preferable to â€œIdol,â€? of course, is the music. No sugary ballads, show tunes or Mariah Carey covers here. On â€œIdol,â€? rockers are novelties. On this show, a fondness for musical theater can spell a contestantâ€™s doom. As it did finally for that pretender Ryan Star. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did. See you in the road-show version of Cats, pal. â€œIdolâ€? rip-offs and lame reality shows arenâ€™t the only fixes for elimination junkies. Weâ€™ve become a nation of eliminators. Just pick up a paper or turn on the TV news. Thatâ€™s Katie Couric sitting in Dan Ratherâ€™s chair. He was eliminated from the anchor game. CBS made all kinds of excuses and wonâ€™t dispel the rumor that he was relieved for the botched story about Bushâ€™s National Guard service. The veteran newsmanâ€™s real mistake was getting old. The network recently aired a retrospective special, but the gesture came off as hollow. Rather had been off the air for months and his replacement was days from making her debut; the broadcast was more of a teaser for Couric than a tribute to Rather. â€œI like to think my

best work is still ahead of me,â€? Rather said near the end of the show, which I would guess had been taped before his less-than-amicable divorce from the network. That may prove the case, but only if Ted Turner or somebody starts an allold-timer news channel. I, for one, would subscribe in a heartbeat. Veteran journalist Connie Chung also found herself suddenly minus a newsdesk this summer. But she had it coming. Chung and schlockmeister hubby Maury Povich had actually teamed up to host a mutant current-events program on MSNBC called â€œWeekends With Maury & Connie.â€? It was supposed to be an upbeat blend of news and humor, but all it managed to be was appalling. And short-lived. Maybe they can put something together with the still-available Starr Jones. Could you believe all the media attention around her elimination from â€œThe Viewâ€?? Talk about a slow news month. Tom Cruiseâ€™s erratic, egocentric deportment over the past 14 years nearly resulted in his own elimination. Am I wrong? Did we all enjoy that just a little bit? Itâ€™s one thing to let Starr Jones go. If youâ€™re Tom Cruise and you get a pink

And some were just plain sick. On rapper Flavor Flav’s VH1 reality show, “Flavor of Love,” one of the female contestants lost bowel control and eliminated on the floor of his crib. Elimination certainly has been a prominent theme in the world of politics. Upcoming midterm elections have each side talking about key races in which they believe the other’s candidates are vulnerable. Every now and then a bunch of generals or some lone politician calls for Donald Rumsfeld’s elimination. It would appear the defense secretary has one too many immunity challenges under his belt, however. A while back Bush responded to his plummeting approval rating by eliminating a handful of White House staff. He replaced them with newcomers nobody can blame for rising interest rates or $3-per-gallon gas, much less the mess in Iraq. Apparently the president and Tom Cruise get their PR advice from the same place. With the fifth anniversary of 9/11 behind us, Americans of sound mind are left to ponder the tragic and perplexing reality that people are being killed every day in that country despite the fact that no one in it played the slightest role in the terrorist attack on ours. The hole just gets deeper, the body count higher. And far away, barely on the administration’s radar, the man who masterminded the deaths of 3000 Americans seems to be in no danger of elimination any time soon. m

Fossil Fueled Getting pumped on evolution at Isle La Motte’s Goodsell Ridge Preserve

he sound of a jackhammer startled Linda Fitch on her Isle La Motte farm one summer evening in 1995. It wasn’t just the racket that unsettled her — it was the realization that someone was breaking up STORY rocks at an adjoining, long-abandoned KEVIN J. quarry that happens to be one of the most KELLEY important coral fossil sites in the world. Fitch quickly phoned Chuck Ratté, IMAGES then a UVM geologist who had brought MATTHEW some of his students to the limestone THORSEN quarry just a month earlier. Ratté advised her to call the local Act 250 commissioner. To protect an invaluable remnant of Vermont’s far-distant past, state officials immediately ordered a halt to the drilling at what’s known as Fisk Quarry. At the time, the Ontario-based Champlain Marble Company owned the land. That was just the beginning of a decade-long conservation campaign that culminated last week with the opening of the Goodsell Ridge Preserve, an outdoorindoor museum that could become an important Vermont ecotourism destination. This 81-acre former dairy farm lies about a mile from the 24-acre Fisk Quarry, which was itself secured as a permanent preserve in 1999. It wasn’t easy to protect either of these unique sites, both of which are part of the thousand-mile-long, but largely unexposed, Chazy Reef. Formed half a billion years ago near today’s Zimbabwe, the underwater formation inched northwestward over the eons as tectonic plates shifted. Fitch recalls that many locals resented

her efforts to shut down a quarry on a small island famous for — and profiting from — the limestone extracted from this singularly accessible section of Chazy Reef. Once polished, the stone resembles a lustrous black marble. It was used in the construction of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and New York’s Radio City Music Hall; its role as a backdrop for the Rockettes earned the stone the nickname “Radio Black.” A significant share of Isle La Motte’s 500 residents “didn’t like the idea of someone who lives half the year in New Jersey trying to stop quarrying,” says Fitch, who has summered on Isle La Motte since 1963. Conservationists argued that protecting the fossils at this particular quarry, which had operated 80 years earlier, would not harm the island’s economy and would actually help local businesses through an expansion of the tourist trade. “The concern about the economic impact was entirely understandable,” says Peter Espenshade, director of the Lake Champlain Land Trust. “But we and our local partners made the case that quarrying could continue elsewhere while these preservation sites attracted visitors.” Isle La Motte already draws thousands of Roman Catholic pilgrims each year to its St. Anne’s Shrine. Islanders were well aware of the benefits to be gained from a second magnet for mainlanders. There was no opposition to converting the nearby former dairy farm into an educational center that interprets fossils so old

they predate life on dry land. Tom and Shirley LaBombard, who owned these pastures and cedar stands for 40 years, had served as conscientious stewards of the skeletal remains of cephalopods, stromotoporoids and other exotic and extinct underwater creatures whose secreted shells served as the reef ’s building blocks. “Our cows never did any damage, and they actually did a service by keeping the land mostly open,” says Shirley LaBombard. The couple was eager for their land to be conserved, but “only in accordance with our stipulations,” Shirley says.

LaBombards had sought. But it took six years to raise the $350,000 to purchase the land and to obtain the necessary easements, Espenshade notes. “This was a tough project for us,” he says. “It’s a remote site with a small population.

affluence, Espenshade explains. But Goodsell Ridge Preserve also proved to be “a hugely rewarding project,” he adds. “I’ve been working on land conservation for more than 10 years, and I’ve never seen a project that’s drawn such national attention and offered such an extraordinary educational opportunity.” It takes some resolve to find the famous fossils on the east side of Isle La Motte. But once you locate the place, a few hundred yards down Quarry Road, a well-marked path leads through the field to outcroppings swirled with signs of life. “Discovery Areas” are numbered and identified, but until interpretative signage is installed, it’s hard to know what to make of the formations.

Sponsors of that project say their “walk-through-history museum will be a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture.” To Espenshade, “There’s as much spirituality and mystery here as anywhere.” The fossil record’s vast chronological sweep can be difficult to comprehend, he says, but “seeing these early remains of life certainly fills you with a sense of wonder and reverence.” The fossils found all over Isle La Motte present rational minds with tangible evidence that the Earth was not plopped into place 4000 years ago, as creationists believe.

bring iton! It’s that time of year. The kids have gone back to school, the leaf-peepers are starting to arrive, and here at Seven Days we’ve been planning ahead . . . for show time. Finally, something to look forward to! As a stack of season programs reveals, Vermont’s arts presenters can still be counted on to please, and provoke, us with a stunning variety of performances. Broadway or bluegrass, piano prodigies or puppets, sopranos or satirists — there really is something for everyone. Including some genre-bending artists who defy both convention and category. Here’s a very small sampling of what’s in store on stage, now through May — please visit the websites for more. If we left anyone out, we haven’t received your schedules yet. Smaller venues such as nightclubs and coffeehouses have their own section elsewhere in the paper and are not included here. Check the music section and the Seven Days calendar in Section B throughout the year. There are times when the world can really bring us down, but dedicated artists, sharing their passion for dance, theater, music and spoken word, bring us together. Enjoy the shows.

Hopkins Center, January 4, 7 p.m. & January 5, 8 p.m. $28/5; and Flynn Center, January 6, 8 p.m. $34/29. This year New York choreographer Stephen Petronio reached the big 5-0, but a young troupe keeps up his reputation for fierce, aggressive and often sexually provocative movement. He creates formal, non-narrative dances with an intellectual rigor and visceral passion. According to The New York Times, Petronio’s works “map mental states instead of telling specific stories.” He has also favored collaborators such as rocker Lou Reed, photographer Cindy Sherman and fashion designer Tara Subkoff — artists with unconventional firepower of their own. For his current project, Petronio features music by the Canadian singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, who in turn borrows lines from poets Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. Bloom gives Petronio’s focus on youth a new spin; he has enlisted local children’s choirs for the piece — at the Flynn, the Champlain Valley Union Chorus will sing Wainwright’s lyrics. “To engage with children is a very big thing for me right now,” Petronio told the Times. “It’s a kind of growing out.” It’s also an attempt to engage the optimism of blooming youth “in a nasty place in a very dangerous and scary time,” he added. For extra measure, the dancers will also perform Bud to a suite of Wainwright songs, as well as Petronio’s rendering of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Come January, it’ll be nice to think about flowering again. — Pamela Polston

Flynn Center, October 20, 8 p.m. $34/28; and Hopkins Center, October 21, 8 p.m. $26/5. Someday, perhaps, music critics will speak about the gifted sitar prodigy and classical pianist Anoushka Shankar without once mentioning her impressive musical lineage: daughter and student of internationally acclaimed sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, and half-sister to Grammywinning pop singer Norah Jones. But at age 25, Anoushka — she’s often referred to by her first name — has emerged from the shadows of her better-known family members and proven she’s a tremendous musical talent in her own right. Drawing from the rich musical traditions of her Indian roots, Anoushka has been playing and studying sitar since she was 9, and by 13 had made her performance debut in New Delhi. She’s played on numerous albums and stages with her father, and in the fall of 1998 released her first solo album, Anoushka, to huge critical acclaim. She followed that success with two more successful releases — Anourag in 2000 and Live at Carnegie Hall in 2001. The latter was nominated for a Grammy as Best World Music Album, making her the youngest musician ever to be nominated in that category. In recognition of her artistry and musicianship, the British Parliament presented Anoushka with a House of Commons Shield in 1998, the first female recipient of this high honor — and, again, the youngest. In 2004, she was chosen as one of 20 Asian Heroes by the Asia edition of Time magazine. She’s played with some of the biggest names in Western music, including Sting, Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Peter Gabriel and James Taylor. Anoushka’s fourth release, 2005’s Rise, was a stylistic departure from her earlier, classical works that melded jazz, pop and world rhythms into her own unique compositions. This is Anoushka Shankar’s third visit to New England in four years. Let’s hope it won’t be her last. — Ken Picard » MORE UPCOMING WORLD MUSIC PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

CHRISTIANNE STOTIJN Middlebury College Center for the Arts, Concert Hall, January 19, 8 p.m. $15/12/5. Mention “Delft” and most of us think of blue-patterned pottery. But Delft is also home to Dutch mezzosoprano Christianne Stotijn. Not that she spends much time there anymore. The 29-year-old — classically trained on violin and in voice — has been gigging on both sides of the Atlantic in recent years, and piling up the prizes. The European Concert Hall Organization named her a 2005-2006 ECHO Rising Star. She’s also a BBC New Generations Artist, and won a coveted Borletti Buitoni Award last year in support of her blossoming career. Critics have praised Stotijn for her “deeply expressive” performance, for her warm timbre and precise diction, and for her “fresh, eager ardor.” Though she’s more familiar on the European stages of Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne and London, North Americans are beginning to anticipate recitals from this young woman with flame-colored hair and passionate singing. With pianist Joseph Breinl, Stotijn has recorded Mahler Urlicht and Songs by Schubert, Berg and Wolf, both for Onyx Records. At Middlebury College, the pair will perform a program of songs by Schubert, Brahms, Richard Strauss and Ives. Talk about a Dutch treat. — Pamela Polston » MORE UPCOMING FEMALE CLASSICAL VOCALIST PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

SUPER VISION Hopkins Center, January 12 & 13, 8 p.m. $26/5. Welcome to the Too-Much-Information Age. Please check your identities at the door before taking your seats. The message of Super Vision, the latest high-tech, multimedia performance piece from the Brooklyn-based experimental troupe The Builders Association and the design company dbox: We are what we swipe. Bookstore purchases, travel itineraries, medical records, even the audience’s online theater-ticket purchases all become part of the mountains of digital data that begin to accumulate from the moment we’re born. Super Vision reveals, in humorous and often disturbing ways, how quickly that wealth of information can be strip-mined at will. Integrating both real and virtual actors in a dazzling combination of electronic music, animation and high-tech imagery, Super Vision tells the stories of three people and the vapor trails of data that follow them wherever they go. In one story, an international business traveler endures an endless barrage of interrogations by U.S. Customs officials as he moves from one airport to another. At each terminus, the probes become increasingly invasive and absurd, until his interrogators know more about his medical condition than he does. In another story, a man tries to escape his crushing debt by appropriating his son’s identity, until his own identity begins morphing into that of the young boy. In the third, a young woman in New York stays in touch with her grandmother in Sri Lanka via webcam, probing the minutiae of the older woman’s life. If Super Vision sounds like George Orwell stepping into The Matrix, it is. “They have their finger on the pulse of trends in our global society way before anybody else,” says Margaret Lawrence, programming director at the Hopkins Center. “It’s just an amazing piece.” — Ken Picard » MORE UPCOMING ISSUE-BASED PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

You might expect a group that takes its name from the Swahili word for “faith” to be a little unusual, and Imani Winds are exactly that. Just being a wind ensemble, for starters, is uncommon these days. And the African-American quintet not only busts classical music’s “whitey” stereotype, it busts genres, too, infusing a classical repertoire with African, Latin and American traditional flavors. Their breakthrough album The Classical Underground, which was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year, introduced Imani Winds to a broader listening audience, but the group was already well known to programmers nationwide for their dedication to music education. Somehow, despite extensive touring and residencies, all five are on the faculties of music schools in the New York area as well. For their Lane Series concert, Imani Winds — flutist/composer Valerie Coleman, oboist Torin Spellman-Diaz, French hornist Jeff Scott, bassoonist Monica Ellis and clarinetist Mariam Adam — will perform a program called “The Latin Connection: Latin America and Its Influence on the Wind Quintet Repertoire.” Sounds academic, but the music is likely to be classical caliente. — Pamela Polston » MORE UPCOMING SMALL-ENSEMBLE CLASSICAL MUSIC PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

I AM MY OWN WIFE Northern Stage, November 2-19, various times. $17-42; and Vermont Stage Company, FlynnSpace, March 28 – April 8, 8 p.m. $21.60-30.50.

MATT HAIMOVITZ & U-CELLO FlynnSpace, March 18, 7 p.m. $24. Roll over, Bartók—and Jimi Hendrix, too. Matt Haimovitz’s cello strings are tuned to stretch music genres to the breaking point, setting the stage for a FlynnSpace show that’s sure to confront classical and classic-rock purists alike. “Anthem,” his feverish variation on Hendrix’s Woodstock ’69 countercultural riff on “The StarSpangled Banner,” caught the ear of many National Public Radio listeners during interviews on “All Things Considered.” His current repertoire is reported to include Led Zeppelin alongside works by Bach, Bartók and Legeti. Haimovitz draws in part on his experiences as a teen prodigy who played Carnegie Hall at 13, made his solo debut in 1984 with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, and was mentored by violinist Itzhak Perlman. As he embarked on his concert career, however, Haimovitz noticed he was rarely performing for people of his own generation. So he crafted an edgy set of variations on classical and rock numbers and took his show to such iconic Stateside clubs as New York City’s CBGB and Seattle’s Tractor Tavern, where he wowed audiences with his frenetic fingerwork and innovative stylings. Now a music prof at McGill University in Montréal, Haimovitz has created a four-cello ensemble called UCello, and teamed up with DJ Olive to put a new spin on musical convention. The results, says Flynn Center Artistic Director Arnie Malina, are in sync with the Flynn season’s focus on “great music that spans the concert hall and the club scene.” Maybe the generation gap will close between Haimovitz’s first legion of fans and his latest, as minds open to new ways of hearing old favorites. And that, Malina adds, could address the Flynn’s and Haimovitz’s “mutual concern for getting younger listeners to think about all kinds of music, and to get people who know about classical music to think about younger music.” — Erik Esckilsen

Playwright Doug Wright spent a decade getting to know Berlin’s enigmatic transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf — antiques collector, spy, museum curator and murderer — before writing a play based on her extraordinary life. Wright’s title comes from a bold statement von Mahlsdorf made about why she would never marry: I Am My Own Wife. In 2004, Broadway was electrified by the tale of the man who lived openly as a woman and managed to survive both Nazi and East German communist regimes. The play garnered a Pulitzer, three Tonys and fistfuls of other prestigious awards. The rights to stage the play regionally have just become available, leading to a flurry of local productions. The Weston Playhouse hosted the Vermont premiere this summer; Northern Stage does the show in November, and the Vermont Stage Company opens it in March. VSC’s Artistic Director Mark Nash admires von Mahlsdorf’s struggle for “authenticity — how to truly be who you are.” The Berliner confronted startling personal challenges in a politically explosive environment. Weston Producing Director Steve Stettler found that audiences “relished the opportunity to look at larger issues through the lens of one character’s experience.” This perspective humanizes history without oversimplifying it, he believes. Nash tries to program a one-person show every year. “It’s the actor’s craft in its purest form, especially when it’s a transformational piece like this, where the actor is playing 40 different roles,” he says. “You go on a real journey ... simultaneously identifying with the characters [while] marveling at the artistry of the actor.” I Am My Own Wife resonated powerfully enough with Weston theatergoers for the Playhouse to extend the run. Stettler reflects,“It represents the best in live theater: the chance to come into a room and meet a person and a story that makes you see things differently and more clearly than you did before you came.” — Elisabeth Crean » MORE UPCOMING THEATER PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

RUSSIAN AMERICAN KIDS CIRCUS Flynn Center, March 11, 3 p.m. $23/17. No doubt many rambunctious tykes will turn out for the Russian American Kids Circus show, both in the audience and on stage. After all, the members of the Brooklyn-based traveling circus troupe are all between the ages of 6 and 16. And they sure are lively. Their energetic shows feature juggling, synchronized acrobatics, unicycle tricks, aerial feats and balancing acts. Not to mention black lights, music and outrageous costumes. Their trainers — former Moscow Circus pro Alex Berenchtein, his wife Regina and mother-in-law Olga Partigul — have been teaching European

circus arts to New York City kids since 1994. Their young charges have been featured in The New York Times and Life magazine, and on “Good Morning America.” Flynn Center Artistic Director Arnie Malina says watching these kids perform isn’t just entertaining. “I think, to see young people and how capable they are is often astonishing,” he says. “They teach you about the potential for living.

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR Lane Series at Flynn Center, October 25, 7:30 p.m. $56/42. In the two operas presented by UVM’s Lane Series this year, premarital predicaments have wildly different outcomes. In Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (1786), the affianced must cut through more layers of intrigue than cake. Masters and maids embroil themselves in endless eavesdropping, fleeting crushes and gossipinduced complications. Mozart’s ebullient musical writing — from arch arias to shimmering sextets — signals that knots will untangle happily by Act IV for the “I do”s. From the opening scenes of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), however, the specter of tragedy stalks the craggy Scottish Highlands. In the Italian romantic composer’s distillation of Sir Walter Scott’s novel, Lucia loves the scion of her family’s sworn enemies, and her brother tries to force her to marry someone else. Donizetti’s ethereally beautiful music elevates the gory story of ghosts, omens, secrets, cruel fate and vows of vengeance. Lucia sings like an angel while going mad, and corpses are stacked like cordwood by the final curtain.

Lane Series Manager Natalie Neuert explains that the programming balance between comedy and tragedy is often a happy accident. “We don’t have that much control over what operas we book,” she says. Among offerings from top touring companies, “we tend to choose the one that hasn’t been here in the longest time . . . When we saw that Teatro Lirico — a company that we really love — was doing Lucia, we were just thrilled. It’s a gorgeous opera. “And it’s nice to have it juxtaposed with a really popular opera that many people have seen, Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro,” Neuert continues. “A lot of people who are just being introduced to opera tend to be attracted to the more well-known ones . . . But I would encourage people to go see Lucia because the music is just exquisite.” — Elisabeth Crean » MORE OPERA PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ANNE GALJOUR Hopkins Center, February 6, 7 p.m. $20/5; and FlynnSpace, February 9, 8 p.m. $23. Playwright/actor Anne Galjour grew up in a small Cajun hamlet an hour from New Orleans, an area since devastated by Hurricane Katrina. But her one-woman show — first produced in the early 1990s — isn’t about that epic storm. Galjour, who has lived for the past two decades in San Francisco, says she was inspired by the people she met and heard about while riding out storms as a child. “The adults would tell us stories of past hurricanes while the wind was wailing outside,” she writes in an email. “It was always like hearing our ancestors crying in the wind. It left an indelible mark on my psyche.” In Hurricane, Galjour channels six Cajun characters, whose lives intertwine against the backdrop sound of a storm. Says the San Francisco Chronicle of her performance: “Galjour doesn’t only make us see and hear her characters. We smell and taste them, too, in a sumptuous flow of Southern language filled with vivid imagery.” Though Katrina doesn’t make an appearance, the devastation it wrought has undoubtedly changed audiences’ experience of the play. “A couple of the towns ‘Hurricane’ is set in have been almost wiped out,” notes Galjour. “The story is now a living document of a place that is forever changed.” She hopes to create a similar piece depicting the lives of New Englanders. The Flynn Center, in conjunction with Dartmouth’s Hopkins Center, has commissioned Galjour to develop a new play set in this region. She’s already begun interviewing locals to develop her characters. “This play is part of a three-year initiative that explores issues of class, locals vs. newcomers,” she writes. “My hope is that hardworking, underserved members of your community will see themselves on stage.” — Cathy Resmer » MORE UPCOMING THEATER PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

THE WAILIN’ JENNYS Barre Opera House, March 2, 8 p.m., $10-26. With a moniker that puns off country-music renegade Waylon Jennings, you’d expect Canada’s Wailin’ Jennys to be a little rough around the edges. Actually, this all-female trio makes some of the sweetest sounds in contemporary Americana. Their appealing mix of country, folk and pop has earned WJ critical acclaim and a growing fan base. The band regularly appears on NPR’s popular “A Prairie Home Companion,” and has impressed audiences on three continents. Last year, they won a Juno Award for their debut disc, 40 Days; its follow-up, Firecracker, will no doubt garner additional praise. Featuring impeccable harmonies and intimate arrangements, the disc takes the group a little further down that long and dusty country road toward fame. — Casey Rea » MORE UPCOMING ROOTS/FOLK/AMERICANA PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

MCCOY TYNER Hopkins Center, January 13, 8 p.m. $30/5. The Hop booked two of jazz music’s elder statesmen for this performing arts season: The legendary saxophonist Sonny Rollins’ show is already sold out, and fans will have to be quick to snap up remaining tickets for pianist McCoy Tyner and his trio. Tyner has been caressing the keys for more than 40 years, in a career that spans his stint as a founding member of the late, great John Coltrane Quartet and his Grammy-winning disc, Illuminations, in 2005. But it’s not just in the recording studio where Tyner shows his mastery, transcending tradition while seeming to invent new paths to melody. On stage, he’s

still on fire. And he’s on stage a lot. Last year a Boston Globe critic dubbed Tyner “the jazz world’s answer to Bob Dylan” — a reference primarily to his constant touring, but also to the pencil-thin moustache both sixtysomething gentlemen are sporting nowadays. That’s where the similarities end, however; Tyner favors an elegant approach to his attire and to his playing, even when putting that famously percussive left hand to work. Coltrane said of his piano man that he could “take anything, no matter how weird, and make it sound beautiful.” Call it good taste. Call it great music. — Pamela Polston » MORE UPCOMING JAZZ PERFORMANCES LISTED ONLINE AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM

istory is written by the winners, as the saying used to go. That was before 1980 and Howard Zinn’s groundbreaking A People’s History of the United States. In that book, Zinn presents a radical revision of STORY our nation’s history, beginning ERIK ESCKILSEN with Columbus’ arrival, from perspectives that are underrepresented in the commonly accepted story of IMAGE MATTHEW national unity and glory — blacks, THORSEN women, American Indians, war resisters, laborers. When A People’s The People Speak History hit the million-copies-sold by Howard Zinn, mark, Zinn recast the book as a play, The People Speak. It features produced by Catalyst Theatre roughly two dozen characters — Company. some well-known, some obscure Waterfront — united by their struggle against Theatre, injustice in the myriad forms it has Burlington, taken in the unfolding American Thursdays through Sundays, narrative. Starting this week, that struggle September 21 October 1 will be dramatized by local troupe (October 8 if Catalyst Theatre Company at demand warrants), Burlington’s Waterfront Theatre. To 8 p.m. $8-15. the text of The People Speak the Info, 862-2287 company has added live and recordor catalyst@ ed music and slide projections, gmavt.net hoping the multimedia dimension will enrich the historical contexts from which the voices emerge. At first glance, The People Speak appears to have been conceived like 500 years’ worth of Our Towns. Characters deliver monologues as they mingle but hardly ever interact. In this production, though, two factors add dynamism to a piece that could otherwise come across as static. One is a product of Zinn’s vision, and the other is an addition from director Veronica Lopez. First, the play offers a fascinating history lesson. Zinn has channeled some familiar voices, such as those of former-slave-turned-antislavery-firebrand Frederick Douglass, Helen Keller and Malcolm X. But even more compelling are voices emanating from the margins of history, such as that of Plough Jogger, who participated in the Shays Rebellion, an uprising of western Massachusetts farmers who were enraged by heavy taxation and foreclosure on their properties following the American Revolution. Also from Massachusetts comes the story of Harriet Hanson, a worker in a textile mill who joined an 1836 walkout and strike. A more contemporary complaint is U.S. Navy Reserve corpsman

James Lawrence Harrington’s letter of resignation in response to heavy — and underreported — Iraqi civilian casualties resulting from the U.S. air strikes during 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. The Catalyst production has updated Zinn’s text, with the playwright’s permission, to include Cindy Sheehan’s 2005 testimony against the latest Iraq war following the death of her soldier-son Casey Austin Sheehan. Then there’s Lopez’s contribution, which fleshes out Zinn’s themes with multimedia. Her production incorporates the live musical accompaniment of singer-guitarist Lyn Hardy, who leads the cast in song-and-dance numbers driven by such warhorses as “We Shall Overcome,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “This Land Is Your Land.” They also sing hidden gems from the archives of protest music, such as the Negro spiritual “Follow the Drinking Gourd” and the women union workers’ tune “Union Maid.” While some cast members have strong singing voices — Sheila Collins’ version of “Motherless Child” scores Annette Urbschat’s improvisational dance number to moving effect — loose choreography and a casual choral vibe invigorate the proletarian heart of this rendition of the play. Lopez has also drawn visual elements into the production, thanks in part to filmmaker and Middlebury prof Deb Ellis, who co-directed with Denis Muller the 2004 film You Can’t Remain Neutral on a Moving Train, a documentary about Zinn’s life and work. Ellis shared with Lopez some of the slides that will be projected above the stage during the performance. Again, some images may be familiar — Mother Jones, an atom bomb — while others may surprise and shock. Lopez says she’ll warn audience members about a photograph depicting a lynching. But the more controversial image may be one showing flagdraped coffins arriving at the Dover U.S. Air Force Base from battles currently raging in Afghanistan and Iraq. These are precisely the kinds of images that Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly banned just weeks before the start of Operation

SEVEN DAYS | september 20-27, 2006 | feature 39A

Desert Storm, when he was secretary of defense under George H. W. Bush. “They’re being handled like cargo, is the feeling of the photo,” Lopez says. Staging The People Speak is itself a political statement, and one Lopez is eager to make. “It lit the fire in my belly,” she says. “It’s The People Speak, and it just spoke.” The play is hardly Lopez’s first foray into theater that explores rents in the fabric of our democracy. In 1995, her Champlain Arts Theatre Company (CATCo) produced To Be Young Gifted and Black, about the life of A Raisin in the Sun playwright Lorraine Hansberry. CATCo also staged a production of The Most Dangerous Woman, with Lopez playing activist Mother Jones in the one-woman show, and Inquisitions, Vermont journalist Greg Guma’s drama ©2006 Oakley, Inc. oakley.com about the Haymarket Square Rebellion of 1886.

Other recent productions include a work in collaboration with Toward Freedom, Guantanamo — Honor Bound to Defend Freedom, which tells the story of several innocent British citizens caught in the global police net after September 11. “I’m an activist and a bleeding-heart liberal,” Lopez says. “I do what I do because I’m just trying to matter. I truly believe we all just want to matter.” A member of Lopez’s cast seconds her view.

Ames has set modest goals. “I hope that my Republican parents will come to see me out of duty — I’m their son, and I’m an actor — and maybe change their mind,” he says. “I’m always trying to get them to question authority the way I do.” Filmmaker Ellis notes that Zinn’s focus on the tradition of questioning authority makes The People Speak a powerful play. “I think what always resonates for me is how there is continuity in the struggle to figure out what’s right,” she says. “Sometimes we feel like we’re out there trying to do it for the first time . . . When I see this stuff, it just reminds me of the incredible courage that people have and that we’re capable of that courage. If we don’t have those models to remind us, maybe we forget it.” Or, as another famous saying about history goes, maybe we’re condemned to repeat our mistakes until we remember our own latent power.

Daniel Bernard Roumain with the Vermont Youth Orchestra, Dibden Center for the Arts, Johnson State College, Sept. 23, 7 p.m. $8/6/4; Flynn MainStage, Sept. 24, 3 p.m. $10/12/15. $6/10/12 students.

arlem-based violinist, composer and educator Daniel Bernard Roumain hardly looks the part of a classical music aesthete. With his flowing braids and multiple piercings, Roumain, a.k.a. DBR, seems more suited to a high-test funk band than a string ensemble. Actually, heâ€™s at home in either one. His stirring and highly inventive music uses decidedly non-classical styles, including hip-hop, soul and avant-rock. Roumainâ€™s main band, DBR & the Mission, includes a DJ and drum kits, rare elements in most performance halls. Enamored by the compositional methods afforded by technology, Roumain scores on a laptop, claiming he hasnâ€™t picked up a pencil in years. Heâ€™s also worked with a wide range of forward-looking musicians, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, DJ Spooky and the granddaddy of minimalism, Philip Glass. DBR accompanies the Vermont Youth Orchestra in two area performances this week, and will showcase his own ensemble the following week. Roumain, 33, is the son of first-generation Haitian immigrants. He grew up in Florida, where he was exposed to a wide

variety of music at home, in school and in the streets. â€œIt was a very diverse community,â€? he says. â€œLots of music in the neighborhood. There were real garage bands, and I played with a lot of them.â€? Much has been made of the fact that Roumain plays classical violin yet loves hip-hop. Such eclecticism evolved naturally, he says. â€œIt comes from my environment. Iâ€™m an amalgam of many of the cultural situations I found myself born and placed into.â€? Roumain began playing violin at age 5, without outside suggestion. â€œSometimes instruments choose you,â€? he says. â€œI just became fascinated with the sound of it, and I had been listening to a lot of classical stuff already. There was no separation back then, not like it is as an adult. If anything, Iâ€™m doing the same things I was doing since kindergarten.â€? Youth orchestras gave Roumain an early taste of symphonic musicâ€™s power. â€œThereâ€™s something about the sound of 25 or 30 elementary school kids playing in their own little ensemble,â€? he relates. â€œI was really drawn to it.â€? Luckily, his parents supported his nascent obsession. â€œAt first they saw it as a form of discipline,

which is pretty common,â€? Roumain explains. â€œBut I had some talent, and I certainly had the dedication. Even in elementary school, I played for hours every day, seven days a week.â€? Later, Roumain attended the University of Michigan, focusing his studies on performance and composition. In 1998, he headed to the Big Apple, drawn to the artistic cross-pollination the city engenders. Dance ensembles offered Roumain his first paying gigs. â€œI had always played for my sisterâ€™s dance classes in middle school,â€? he relates. â€œWhen I moved to New York,

style of music. Nobody has a problem with Beethoven. They just donâ€™t want to listen to him for three hours.â€? Technology informs a great deal of Roumainâ€™s work, from performance to composition. And, letâ€™s face it, anybody who can go toe-to-toe with DJ Spooky is no doubt comfortable tweaking sound. But Roumain is equally effective scoring solo violin. How does he reconcile classical customs with modern production methods? â€œConventions become traditions, and practice becomes theory,â€? he says. â€œPhilip Glass composes with just a

for the first three years, it was one of my principal jobs. The dance community really launched me.â€? Still, getting noticed took some major hustle. â€œIt was a lot of work, playing upwards of 10 hours a day, composing at night, doing workshops and auditions on the weekends,â€? he says. â€œIt was difficult.â€? Eventually Roumain became the musical director for Bill T. Jonesâ€™ dance company, which in turn brought him to the attention of other legendary figures, including Glass. Not long after, he was appointed the head of a program for young composers at the Harlem School of the Arts. Kids take a shine to Roumain, and not just because of his funky style. He intuitively grasps the common links between many types of music, making classical seem less, well, stuffy. â€œIâ€™m really happy working with youth orchestras, and Iâ€™m excited about the VYO,â€? he says. â€œItâ€™s because weâ€™re sharing the same culture, listening to some of the same music. Itâ€™s the best of both worlds; you get the sound of the orchestra, but the attitude of youth.â€? It helps that Roumain doesnâ€™t force his musical opinions on his students. â€œI donâ€™t like to use the word teacher,â€? he says. â€œWhen Iâ€™m in the classroom, I want it to be a conversation. I expect to learn something. Iâ€™m not about to ask them to listen to BartĂłk until I have heard what theyâ€™re into. Thatâ€™s how we start.â€? A lot of what he hears is hip-hop. Roumain believes the genre deserves more credit for its musical depth. â€œThereâ€™s a whole school of hip-hop producers that have an avant-garde predilection,â€? he says. â€œThereâ€™s never been a better time for me to be doing what Iâ€™m doing.â€? And urban music has made its mark on him, he adds. â€œIâ€™m as influenced by Prince as I am Paganini.â€? The iPod has made genre hopping easier than ever for music fans. But concert halls are slow to catch up to audiencesâ€™ broadening tastes. â€œThereâ€™s a diversity in peopleâ€™s listening that isnâ€™t readily appreciated in the performing arts world,â€? Roumain suggests. â€œI like Beethoven, Bjork and The Beatles, and I think a lot of people do. But in the orchestral world, youâ€™re kind of forced to listen to the same

pencil, paper and a piano. I use a laptop, because I grew up with technology. Relevancy is personality.â€? It helps to remember that many of the sonic innovations of the last century came from the classical, rather than pop, music world. Composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Shaffer were at the vanguard of technology and sound. â€œSome of the most exciting music and technology in the â€™50s and â€™60s were from classical music,â€? Roumain says. â€œItâ€™s part of the history and tradition, and Iâ€™m just following that.â€? Yet his music doesnâ€™t sound overly theoretical or cold. Actually, itâ€™s incredibly vibrant, full of soul and motion. The piece Roumain will perform with the VYO, â€œVoodoo Violin Concerto No. 1,â€? for example, is bluesy and bold. â€œWhen I started plugging in and using pedals, I was principally drawn to Jimi Hendrixâ€™s style of playing,â€? he says of his inspiration. â€œHe can be a little dissonant; thereâ€™s a lot of exotic scales with notes that arenâ€™t necessarily in the key signature.â€? Roumain doesnâ€™t need effects to produce interesting tones. Heâ€™s perfected a bowing style that emulates the low-to-high frequency sweeps commonly found in techno music. â€œItâ€™s a very simple technique that I developed that involves gradually moving the bow closer and further away from the bridge,â€? he explains. â€œI use it in a piece called â€˜Filter.â€™ I personally havenâ€™t seen it in any published scores. Itâ€™s one of the little things that I do.â€? Most classical composers donâ€™t employ breakbeats, either. Has Roumain ever encountered any static for his broad palette? â€œTheyâ€™re really just musical devices,â€? he explains. â€œIf you donâ€™t have a proximity to that sound, that culture or those records, it can be hard to follow. But you have to understand my stance. I see hip-hop as a very sophisticated style of music that can be notated and has its own rules, which I engage in.â€? Heâ€™s definitely looking forward to engaging with his fellow musicians in the VYO. â€œLook, Iâ€™m coming to Vermont not to perform my piece,â€? he says, â€œbut rather to collaborate with them on a piece I happened to write.â€? Considering Roumainâ€™s talent and energy, they should be psyched. m

Power came together in Athens, Georgia, as a lo-fi recording project. Part of famed Elephant 6 collective, their peers included lysergic luminaries Olivia Tremor Control and Of MontrĂŠal. Since their 1995 debut, EP have grown from precocious tweakers to sophisticated songsmiths. Their latest release, Back to the Web, swaps ragged fuzz for refined strum, resulting in their most streamlined effort to date. On several numbers, however, they show themselves still worthy of their fanciful moniker. Catch them this Tuesday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge as part of the Seven Days Hot Ticket series. Eclectic songwriter Geoff Reacher warms up.

ROAD RAGERS

Local singer-songwriter David Stockhausen is about to split town for the warmer climes of California — San Francisco, to be exact. Stockhausen previously co-fronted the now-defunct Middle Eight, one of the better local acts of the last few years. Since that band’s breakup, he’s lived the life of an acoustic troubadour, playing cozy sets at 1/2 Lounge and Radio Bean. A few months ago, Stockhausen was tapped to open for none other than John Hiatt in the Higher Ground Ballroom. Once settled in CA, Stockhausen plans to continue his solo escapades. In addition, he’ll perform as a member of Blammos, the pop-rock combo led by onetime Vermonter Arthur Adams. That group features another former Burlingtonian, exConcentric multi-instrumentalist Tim Marcus. Blammos delivered a stellar set last Saturday at RB, before playing a local wedding. This week, locals will have one last chance to enjoy Stockhausen’s breezy tunes. A going-away performance takes place at — you guessed it — Radio Bean on Saturday, Sept. 23. The show will also serve as a Middle Eight mini-reunion, with a set by Stockhausen and former band mate Dan Bolles. Expect a batch of sweet ’n’ sour Americana from that band’s semi-retired repertoire. Later, a full band including Marcus, Marie Claire, Jeremy Gantz and Jason Horn will join Stockhausen for a run through his more recent catalogue. The show takes place at 10 p.m. As always, it’s a pass-the-hat affair, so bring extra scratch for your musician pals. And happy travels, David!

Burlington’s rock-country-metal maniacs Chuch made some serious tracks this summer. Having shared stages with the likes of Béla Fleck, My Morning Jacket and Bob Weir, the band will play a homecoming show at Club Metronome on Friday, Sept. 22. Joining ’em are fusion freaks Bad Suit. Chuch’s sound is a little tough to pin down. Blending dark psychedelia with whiskeysoaked countrypunk, the band’s rural twang has a city-slicker bite. Their fiery tunes are starting to win the band recognition well beyond the Green Mountains, as demonstrated by their recent jaunt. Axeman Chad Hammaker was invited to join jam supergroup Everyone Orchestra at this year’s Gathering of the Vibes festival in Mariaville, NY. Unfortunately, the weather refused to cooperate and the set was cancelled. Considering Jon Fishman and Jamie Masefield are both EO alumni, it’s likely an honor just to be asked. The band plans to hit the studio at some point this winter to work on the follow-up to their well-received debut, Four Tall. They’re also the subjects of a DVD documentary, which is being produced by a CAbased filmmaker. Look for it around February ’07. Seems like every season is a big one for these dudes.

KIND OF BLUES Last year, 102.9 WCLX “The Album Station” put together a little blues festival at the Old Lantern in Charlotte. It was so successful that they’re doing it again, on Friday, Sept. 22. This year’s concert features another appearance by Albany bluesman Ernie Williams, a beloved regional performer and contemporary of B.B. King. Harp man James Montgomery also returns, backed by his regular band. He’s cut six albums since appearing on the Boston scene in the ’70s. New Jersey-based guitarist Billy Hector is the fresh face at the fest. An admired slide player, he’s been rocking clubs and festivals for three decades, and appeared in Martin Scorsese’s seven-part PBS documentary, “The Blues.” Rounding out the bill are the Eames Brothers Band and Nobby Reed Project, two original blues acts of Vermont extraction. The show kicks off at 5 p.m. and goes ’til midnight. Tickets are $38 advance, and $42 day-of-show. You can get them at the Flynn Center Box Office, online at www.FlynnTix.org or by calling 86-FLYNN.

Just received word about another avant-garde performance taking place at Burlington’s Green Door Studios on Saturday, Sept. 23. In case you didn’t manage to swing by during Art Hop, the location is 20 Howard Street. Performing this time around is Can’t, a.k.a. Jessica Rylan. According to local sound explorer Greg Davis, she’s “the queen of noise.” Which begs the question: Who’s the king? Anyway, Rylan builds her own synthesizers, and recently crafted one for Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo. She’s also performed with his band mate Thurston Moore. Sharing the bill is Door, whom Davis describes as “a young chap from New Jersey who travels with large speakers.” Hope they fit through the, um, door. Man, that was bad! The show starts at 8 p.m. and costs a mere $5. m

Pioneering MC Slick Rick has weathered a lot, even by hip-hop standards. Blinded in one eye due to an early childhood accident, the British-born rapper immigrated to the Bronx at the tail end of the 1970s, where he soon became a genre icon. “Slick Rick the Ruler,” as he’s legally obliged to bill himself, performs at Burlington’s new Plan B on Friday, Sept. 22, with Fattie B. & Friends. The show kicks off at 9 p.m. Rick has been a contentious performer since his days as a member of early ’80s outfit, Kangol Crew. After that group split, he signed with Russell Simmons’ legendary Def Jam label, releasing the single “Treat Her Like a Prostitute” in 1988. Many listeners derided the song as misogynist, but that didn’t stop the album it appears on, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, from going platinum. It’s now considered a rap classic. Like other urban artists, Rick has had numerous confrontations with the law. Shortly after his breakthrough release, he was arrested for attempted murder. A hastily recorded follow-up to Great Adventures was tracked in three weeks, after which he was hauled off to the pen. In 1990, he was arrested once again, this time for firing shots at his cousin, who was supposedly bugging his mom. Unlike O.J. Simpson, Rick led the fuzz on a high-speed chase. Suffice it to say, they eventually caught up. In 2002, Immigration & Naturalization Service officials arrested Rick while he was performing on a cruise ship. Seems he never actually became a U.S. citizen. He was held for a year, despite protests from high-profile celebs such as Will Smith. The issue has since been ironed out. Given Rick’s colorful history, Friday’s show might be pretty damn entertaining. The $25 tickets are close to sold out, but I’ve heard there will be a handful held at the door for day-of purchase.

On Friday, Sept. 22, the sleepy town of Brookfield will get down to the vintage honky-tonk and rockabilly sounds of the Starline Rhythm Boys. The band will perform at the Town Hall in a benefit for the Brookfield Community Partnership. BCP is setting out to fully restore the hall with the assistance of the Preservation Trust of Vermont, the Freeman Foundation, the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board and Senator Patrick Leahy. Oh, yeah, and those twang-meisters in SRB. Interestingly, the building already has a rock ’n’ roll history. According to BCP man Steve Reid, it was “one of central Vermont’s premier dance halls of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s.” Guess a honky-tonk isn’t out of order, then. “It should be extremely reminiscent of the nights when the streets were lined with revelers’ cars, and the dance floor rose and fell to the

FAMILY VALUES :: NYC’s Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players have been described as an “indie-vaudeville conceptual art-pop collective.” It’s as good a label as any. A real life family, the band includes dad Jason on guitar and vocals, mom Tina on projections, and 12-year-old Rachel behind the kit. With songs inspired by the slides they find at flea markets and estate sales, the Trachtenburgs are truly unique. That’s likely why they were the first unsigned act to appear on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” and count several celebrities as fans. Don’t miss them with Baby Gramps this Monday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.

reviewthis MICHAEL CHORNEY, MOTHER TONGUE

RAQ, TON THESE (Harmonized Records, CD) Letâ€™s get this out of the way right up front: Burlington rockers RAQâ€™s latest, Ton These, is an eminently listenable album. The musicianship is great, perhaps flawless. Each of the 10 tunes is infectious. Unfortunately, the quartet still wears its influences on its sleeves; RAQ need to roll â€™em up and get to work on establishing their own identity. It was during the 2001-2003 Phish hiatus that I first saw RAQ perform live, and the similarities between the two bands were striking. It seemed that RAQ were attempting to fill a void, thereby amplifying the likeness. Now, with Phish permanently absent, the emulation continues. To be fair, most bands from Burlington â€” or Vermont, for that matter â€” will face the comparison, regardless of genre. For a so-called â€œjam band,â€? the scrutiny is that much greater. But no matter how you slice it, RAQ has failed to emerge from Phishâ€™s tall shadow. Throughout Ton These, their famous predecessors are never far away, either sonically or lyrically. Sure, Todd Stoopsâ€™ keys on opener â€œWalking in Circlesâ€? sound more like Ben Folds than Page McConnell. But Chris Michettiâ€™s guitar licks are Trey all the way. And lines such as â€œDonâ€™t try to take my favorite monkey away / Donâ€™t ever walk six miles to the kitchen againâ€? reminded me of early prose from Phish lyricist Tom Marshall. The aping continues through the next three tracks. In fact, they sound like an almost chronological waltz through Phish-story. â€œForget Me Notâ€? recalls Rift; â€œTumbling Downâ€? could have been on Hoist; and â€œGlimpseâ€? sounds like a late-model Trey ballad. I want to reiterate that these are good songs, but they need to bear more of RAQâ€™s own imprint. The good news is that, mid-album, the band begins to stand on its own feet. The tunes in this stretch display an attitude and edge missing from the albumâ€™s first half. â€œWill Runâ€? and â€œOne of These Daysâ€? are gritty and urgent, while â€œCity Funk,â€? whether intentional or not, sounds like a hard-rockinâ€™ nod to Tupac and Dreâ€™s â€œCalifornia Dreaming.â€? The discâ€™s highlight is â€œBootch Magoo,â€? a high-octane jam propelled by the powerful rhythm section. Over layers of Stoopsâ€™ keys, Michetti finally sounds like his own axe-man rather than a capable disciple. Sadly, Ton These closes with two cuts that threaten to undo the previous progress. â€œSaid and Doneâ€? sounds like a couple of songs from Phishâ€™s Round Room squeezed together, while â€œBotzâ€? is an I-can-onlyhope-itâ€™s-intentional re-imagining of the Styx clunker â€œMr. Roboto.â€? When they put their own stamp on a song instead of playing in somebody elseâ€™s style, RAQ are a fine band indeed. I look forward to the day they cut a disc that fully reflects their own considerable strengths.

JAKE RUTTER

(GrainbinMusic, CD) Bristolâ€™s Michael Chorney has worn several musical hats over the years. A talented bandleader, composer, producer, instrumentalist and arranger, heâ€™s among the Green Mountainsâ€™ most versatile artists. With Mother Tongue, Chorney makes his first foray into the singersongwriter genre. The results are nearly as strong as anything heâ€™s tried before. Mother is a stripped-down affair, with Chorneyâ€™s intimate baritone vocals and muted guitar providing the main points of focus. There are a few guest appearances, however: Chorneyâ€™s Magic City bandmate Miriam Bernardo lends her sultry voice to four tunes, while AnaĂŻs Mitchell and Peg Tassey turn up on a track each. Bob Wolk provides banjo and harmonies on a song as well. The CD gets started with the lovely â€œJoyce,â€? which is built on placid, finger-style guitar. â€œThey always took the back roads when they drove up every year / The afternoon was clear / they stopped for gas and cigarettes, sandwiches and beer,â€? Chorney softly sings. Itâ€™s a little like Raymond Carver moonlighting as a backwoods folkie. The instrumental â€œBellsâ€? features Chorneyâ€™s â€œtreated guitar,â€? the hallmark of which is gamelan-like, percussive tones. The brief track provides a link between Chorneyâ€™s embrace of trad song structures and his more avant-garde leanings. â€œDirty Stepsâ€? features gentle strumming, backed by upright bass and a bed of female harmonies. Wisps of brass drift by as Chorney delivers impressionistic prose in a near whisper. Only one tune on Mother Tongue doesnâ€™t work, and thatâ€™s â€œRussian Poet.â€? The song apes Rain Dogs-era Tom Waits a little too closely for comfort. Reproducing Waitsâ€™ singular sound is no small feat, but it seems beneath Chorney, a unique talent in his own right. â€œWaltzâ€? is another brief instrumental. Its mournful lilt serves as a fine intro to â€œBitter Seeds,â€? an exhortation to openness in the face of cynicism. â€œYou tell me Jesus never helped you / Mary never did a thing / You killed the Buddha as instructed / Thereâ€™s no song you care to sing,â€? Chorney intones. Later, he offers a recipe for transcendence: â€œIf you open up your heart / Open up your mind again / Open up your mouth to sing / Wonder what you might find, my friend,â€? he sagely croons. The album closes with â€œNothing Is Pure,â€? which features a humble chord progression and Bernardoâ€™s rich harmonies. â€œNothing is pure / Nothing is simple / Nothing important / Nothing will last,â€? the two sing in a blissful ode to emptiness. Itâ€™s always a treat to hear what Chorney is up to, but I wouldnâ€™t have predicted his latest turn. Guess you could call Mother Tongue a pleasant surprise. Hear him at Burlingtonâ€™s Radio Bean on Friday, Sept. 22.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Another Year in the Hopper

B Got ideas for Art Hop? Email us at letters@ sevendaysvt.com, or respond to SEABA at info@seaba.com.

y all appearances, the 14th Annual South End Art Hop, September 8 & 9, was a smashing success. A record number of people — estimated at more than 25,000 — showed up to visit dozens of open studios and businesses along Pine Street. Presented by the South End Arts and Business Association, the Art Hop is run on a shoestring by a minuscule staff and a lot of volunteers. That makes their achievement all the more impressive. But some elements of the Hop have raised concerns and complaints from participating artists, many viewers, city officials and SEABA itself. While individual participants in the Hop may have their own gripes or suggestions, two major areas merit particular attention. The juried show. A cornerstone of the Art Hop since its beginning, the juried portion of the exhibition has often stirred up controversy. It is a given that someone will disagree with

any juror’s choices — no more so than the participating artists. This year the juror, Maine artist Elizabeth Olbert, managed to offend some artists and viewers alike with a juror’s statement that was perceived as haughty and dismissive. Art Hop Chairman Mark Waskow even penned a disclaimer and hung it on the wall next to Olbert’s three-page manifesto. A first-time visitor to Art Hop might have missed this, though — not to mention the distinction between what was and was not “accepted” by the juror. All the entered works were displayed in a succession of offices in the former Specialty Filaments Building. Curiously, Olbert’s selections

seemed inconsistent with her own urbanoriented aesthetic — there was a range of quality and style in every room, including the one marked “juror’s selections.” Furthermore, the top three juror’s picks were not marked as such. Yet, putting aside the specifics of this year, some larger questions about the juried show must be asked: Why is there just one juror? Why not, say, a three-person panel? Does the juror have to be from out-ofstate? Is it appropriate that the juror hold Vermont artists to a national aesthetic? Should the juror even be an artist — as opposed to a professional curator? And speaking of curation, doesn’t displaying the juror’s rejections diminish the honor of being selected? Finally, since the Art Hop is a community affair, why not just let the people democratically decide — Vermonters voting for Vermonters? Some of these questions have logical, if still debatable, answers. SEABA Board President Mark Stephenson can’t remember when the Art Hop began using a single juror. “Someone remarked to me that a single person isn’t a jury, it’s a judge. I think it’s an excellent point. What’s exciting to me is that people notice and care, and want to improve it.” Janie Cohen, director of the Fleming Museum, was herself a sole Art Hop juror years ago. While she has nothing against a panel, she sums up the thinking behind inviting nonVermonters. “One advantage of bringing in someone from outside is that they don’t know anybody; it’s good to have a fresh set of eyes,” Cohen suggests. “Having been in this community for 15 years, you get very familiar with the work.” And the people making it. Wherever he or she is from, a juror faces the daunting task of winnowing through an enormous volume of work from artists who differ wildly in medium and, more to the point, skill level. Cohen recalls being invited to judge a similarly large, community-minded event years ago in Troy, New York. “It was very difficult,” she says. “They ranged from Sunday painters to really experienced artists.” Cohen also believes that the boundaries between artists and curators have become “very blurred.” But, she suggests, “You could ask the question: Are there differences between the way that artists, who are actively involved in creating art, serve in that role [of juror] and people who do not?” More food for thought: Should the Art Hop staff, or perhaps a panel of some kind, hold a pre-judging, before the guest juror steps in? I can hear the

groans now: That would involve more work, and the staff may not want to bear personal responsibility for bruised egos. After all, the event is a celebration of the creative spirit — as well as the South End businesses generated by that creativity, Stephenson points out. Why discourage artists whose work may not yet be up to snuff, however that is defined? Stephenson believes the juried show is important to artists, but he concedes it made more sense when the Art Hop was smaller. In the early years, the juror’s selections were sequestered in an old train car in front of the Maltex Building. It wasn’t an ideal place to view art, but at least it was clear what the exhibit was. “The people who were coming [then] were more traditional art connoisseurs,” Stephenson notes. “Now the world is coming . . . it’s exposing thousands of people to art who don’t usually come out. To better educate people, maybe we need to have a process to select art in different ways.” And speaking of size . . . Planning for growth. Some revelers were chagrined that the party in the Fresh Market parking lot ran out of alcohol before 10, even though the Art Hop’s entertainment license lasted until midnight. This was ironically due to improved logistics, Stephenson explains: “We did a better job of laying out the framework of the event and the space. We didn’t run out of food, for the first time, because there was a better layout for the vendors.” Bottom line: More people showed up, had more efficient access to the booze, and drank up the supply sooner than anticipated. “We just ran out,” says Stephenson. “And at that time of night you can’t go out and get more.” Buying more kegs next year wouldn’t be a big deal — even if vigilant city officials worry about too many people with too many drinks. But there is a far larger public-safety concern. From at least 5:30 p.m. on, Pine Street was crawling with people, including children. Why wasn’t the street blocked off? The combination of traffic and oblivious pedestrians seemed an acci-

dent waiting to happen — though fortunately one didn’t, this time. But is it unreasonable for crowds to feel entitled to the street, when their collective mass surpasses that of the cars? And when, after all, the entire stretch of Pine Street is clearly designated for one big community happening? In fact SEABA did try to get the street closed off but failed, according to Stephenson. “The application process isn’t really set up for us to successfully do this,” he says. “We’ve been told it’s pretty much impossible. But I believe the city should formulate the process to make it easier . . . My goal for next year is to close some of those streets.” Burlington Police Lt. Kathleen Stubbing explains that the rush-hour traffic, which coincides with the beginning of Art Hop, simply cannot be funneled entirely to St. Paul Street. “That would have been a disaster,” she suggests. Stubbing recalls that closing the street after rush hour was discussed, but in the end the idea was inexplicably dropped. No one would argue that an injury or a fatality would be an even greater disaster than a temporary traffic jam. And some observers have noted that the city routinely shuts down streets for some other events, such as the marathon. So what’s the problem here? Can’t commuters be inconvenienced for two hours once a year? The Hop has helped put Burlington on the “great art towns” map and boosted the creative economy. Can’t it get any respect? One thing SEABA, police and other city officials do agree on: Size matters. Art Hop “may have outgrown that venue,” suggests Stubbing. Stephenson worries that the event could fall victim to its own success. “I’m from Madison, Wisconsin, where some of the great events got out of hand and just disappeared,” he says. That’s an outcome nobody wants. “The fact that it gets better each year is due to the fact that there’s a lot of creativity out there,” Stephenson says. Now is the time to put that creativity — and public input — to work. “By the end of September,” he notes, “we’ll be planning Art Hop ’07.” m

A EXHIBIT “Four Between Form and Nonform,” paintings by Dorothy Martinez, stone carvings by Robert S. Babcock, woven constructions by Anne Wallis-Bull and a site-specific glass installation by Ethan Bond-Watts. Flynndog, Burlington. Through October.

ARTWORK “Web Spinner” by Anne Wallis-Bull

PHOTO Marc Awodey

bstraction seems to have become a dirty word in the contemporary art world, as conceptual narratives fueled by irony are all the rage. Most of the recent Firehouse Gallery shows are cases in point, and numerous traveling exhibitions, such the Hood Museum’s recent “Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia,” confirm that the new paradigm is not just a local phenomenon. The Flynndog’s current show, “Four Between Line and Form,” ignores the bandwagon with four powerful abstractionists working in different media. Each presents enough work to confirm their common grounding in mid-20thcentury modernism. Robert Babcock presents 15 tabletop sculptures that combine the curvaceous lines of human forms with holes of negative space. His black soapstone “Zeus,” which measures 16-by-14-by-12 inches, echoes Inuit carving in both material and bulky mass. Its vertical composition is dominated by smooth ovals on one surface and soft-edged rectangles on the other. His slightly larger, horizontally oriented “Infiniment de l’Homme” showcases the grain of creamy, pinkishwhite alabaster and brings out the material’s warmth with a cherrywood rectangular base. Despite their physical weightiness, Babcock’s pieces convey lightness. Waitsfield sculptor Anne Wallis-Bull weaves sticks and other intriguing wood products gathered from Vermont and Florida into large-scale abstract nests and basket-like constructions of amazing complexity. “Web Spinner” is a dramatic, 3-by-4-foot disc form that calls to mind a warped vinyl record. A shock of red is woven into the disc at 7 o’clock. “Papoose” is a child-sized, twisted basket made from the same materials as “Web Spinner.” Wallis-Bull built two ovoid openings into the form and placed a craggy stick through the basket’s interior. It vaguely resembles an oriole’s nest. Dorothy Martinez is well known locally for creating vibrant color fields smeared with equally bright swaths. Magentas, lilac and lime green are

The 24by-24-inch “Ornament” utilizes that palette with feathery brushwork that scumbles green over red-orange on a left-leaning, diagonal axis. Martinez activates the edges of her composition with dark patches along the right side and in the upper left corner. A few monochromatic pieces make surprise appearances in Martinez’s collection. “Pandora Punished” is a 35-by35-inch acrylic of white mixed with hints of ruddy burnt sienna. An indistinct figure looms in the lower left corner, ghostlike in a pale mist. If this marks a new direction in the painter’s evolving career, it will be interesting to see what happens next. “Kyklon” by glass artist Ethan BondWatts is a suspended, floor-to-ceiling tornado form, about 15 feet high, consisting of concentric blue glass curves

hung from gossamer filaments. BondWatts began his career as an apprentice to renowned glass artist Alan Goldfarb of Burlington, and has also studied in Venice and Japan. The word “kyklon” is Greek for cycles or coils, and is used in meteorology to describe cyclonic action — as Bond-Watts’ work gracefully captures. Although Ben Shahn was a leading 20th-century social-realist painter, he had a keen enough grasp of abstraction to say, “To abstract is to draw out the essence of a matter. To abstract in art is to separate certain fundamentals from irrelevant material which surrounds them.” The Greek Parthenon was based on those principles. Should the witticisms of contemporary art someday grow thin to the point of irrelevancy, let’s hope the timeless formalism of abstraction regains stature in the cultural debate. m

theborowitzreport ROCKET SCIENTISTS NOT AS SMART AS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT

ocket scientists, long considered the gold standard in intelligence among all professionals, are not nearly as smart as originally thought, according to a controversial new study published today by the American Association of Brain Surgeons. The study, which appears in the organization’s monthly publication, Popular Brain Surgery, is entitled “The Intelligence of Rocket Scientists: Myth Versus Reality,” and suggests that rocket scientists’ reputation for smartness is largely undeserved. “It does require a superior intellect to function as a rocket scientist,” the article concedes. “Having said that, though, rocket science is not brain surgery.” The article drew an immediate rebuke from a spokesperson for the American Society of Rocket Scientists, who blasted the study

as “state-of-the-art pro-brain surgeon propaganda.” “As rocket scientists, we take offense at this naked attempt by

brain surgeons, said that he believes the latest controversy between the two groups has been overplayed.

“If rocket science is so easy, we’d like to see these so-called brain surgeons give it a try one of these days.”

“The fact of the matter is, the smartest people in the world have always been, and will always be, University of Minnesota experts,” he said.

+++ Excellent Buffalo Chicken Pie

PHOTO: JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

Unlike a restaurant like Flatbread, this pizza place offers an ambiance that’s a mix between the Jetson’s and a chic, modern club. The lighting is great at night, and the live music adds entertainment. Prices are decent, the buffalo chicken pizza can’t be beat, and Wednesdays bring an excellent cheap combo meal: personal pie and a draft/ glass of wine! Reviewed on August 31, 2006.

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

Gabrielle HHHH

J HOME FRONT: Chereau stages a battle between the sexes in the residence of an upper-class Parisian couple.

oseph Conrad is usually associated with psychological adventure-novels such as Heart of Darkness. The author also crafted short stories charged with an astonishingly modern sense of the darkness that can fill an untended heart. The French writer-director Patrice (Intimacy) Chereau has turned one such story, “The Return,” into a shocking, brilliantly original rumination on the subject of marital rot. The great Pascal Greggory and Isabelle Huppert turn in some of the most powerful work of their long, distinguished careers in the roles of an upper-class Parisian couple circa 1912. After years trapped in a passionless marriage, they have come to reside in entirely separate worlds. Jean, the stuffy snob of a self-impressed husband, learns this the hard way when he arrives home and finds a letter from his wife waiting for him. He’s stunned to discover she has left him. And he’s even more stunned when she changes her mind and returns shortly thereafter. Talk about awkward moments. How much more compelling could a scene between a husband and wife possibly be? Jean is a bore who fancies himself a member of high society, a thrower of intellectual soirees whose invitations are much coveted. John Cleese would be perfect in the role if this were a comedy. It’s not. Gabrielle is a woman who has spent 10 years making the most of life as a trophy wife. Conrad appears to have anticipated the term as he has the husband at one point remark with pride “I love her as a collector does his most prized item.” She is outwardly beautiful, dutiful and composed to perfection. Inside, resentment and frustration have been festering for years and she is torn — not between lovers, or right and wrong, but between her desire to leave and find happiness and to stay and make Jean miserable.

She goes with the latter, and is merciless. Having wasted her youth on the man, she’s determined to pay him back in psychic spades. Payback is a bitch on wheels. The film is a wonder and a joy to watch on a number of levels. Cinematography doesn’t get any more gorgeous than this. Eric Gautier is a master. Chereau employs jump cuts and inter-titles — devices you’d think wouldn’t suit a period piece; they suit this one, and never prove distracting. He also switches back and forth between color and black and white to underscore emotional pivot points, the way another director might use a musical cue. And, speaking of the score, my God — Fabio Vacchi has managed to write music that sounds exactly like pain. This might not help sales of the soundtrack CD, but it does wonders for the movie. The dialogue is a savage feast of precisely chosen unkind words. I watched the picture on a DVD screener and had to replay a particular scene three or four times. I just wasn’t sure I really was seeing what I thought I was seeing: a corseted, turn-of-the-century wife looking her husband in the eye and informing him, “The thought of your sperm inside me is unbearable.” Over the course of the picture, the couple’s balance of power shifts completely. Jean deteriorates into a pleading, pathetic mess while Gabrielle reveals untapped reserves of fearlessness and ferocity. By the time the film reaches its climax — a knock-down, drag-out, break-up brawl in the middle of one of their soirees — she makes Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf look like June Cleaver. This is the sort of subtitled, under-publicized small film that could easily slip under one’s radar. That would be a shame for anyone who appreciates really brave, no-holdsbarred, firing-on-all-pistons filmmaking. You’d have to go all the way back to Bergman to find scenes from a marriage as searing as these. m

SEVEN DAYS DIXIE CHICKS: SHUT UP AND SING

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Reaction Films appeared at a festival press conference. Do they see a parallel between the former Beatle’s difficulties and their own recent experiences after making negative comments about the Iraq invasion? “We felt more censored and more afraid than what happened to people in the 1960s,” replied Martie Maguire, the trio’s fiddler. “John Lennon had the hope, but we also have the Internet,” lead singer Natalie Maines said of the opportunity to network with fellow peaceniks. Cyberspace activism can cut both ways, however. When Maines acknowledged feeling ashamed that George W.

We felt more censored and more afraid than what happened to people in the 1960s.” MARTIE MAGUIRE OF THE DIXIE CHICKS

armed conflict in the Middle East. The topical fare, much of it opening soon nationwide, included Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing; Mon Colonel; The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair; Bobby and D.O.A.P. Vastly different in content and style, these message movies from various countries reflect the changing zeitgeist in a world now thoroughly polarized by American foreign policy. Despite being a mere drop in the 352-film Toronto bucket, they engendered an inordinate amount of buzz, and ratcheted up the volatile debate about patriotism versus dissent. Just ask the Dixie Chicks, who

Bush hails from the band’s home state of Texas in March 2003, a right-wing website started a boycott of the band’s music. Even more frightening reactions soon followed. When the Dixie Chicks arrived for a June 2003 performance in Dallas, Maines received an anonymous death threat. In the city of the JFK assassination, it carried a particularly awful subtext. Barbara Kopple, who co-directed the doc with Cecilia Peck, suggested, “There was really a sense of belonging to a community in the ’60s.” By contrast, the contemporary female recording artists initially had little sup-

port. “But no longer will the Chicks stand alone,” Kopple proclaimed. A young military man stands very much alone in Mon Colonel, co-written by venerable auteur Costa Gavras. This naïve lieutenant volunteers to fight Muslim insurgents in mid-1950s Algeria, then a French-occupied quagmire. But he’s repulsed by the torture his commanding officer justifies with an argument that sounds chillingly familiar to 21st-century ears: “We are engaged in a world war against terror.” Tortured for a trifle during Saddam Hussein’s reign, freelance photojournalist Yunis Khatayer Abbas is the subject of The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair. He describes his arrest by U.S. troops and nine subsequent months of incarceration at Abu Ghraib. The Iraqi native’s bleak story is not likely to win the Bush regime any kudos. It’s told by German filmmakers Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein, whose Gunner Palace depicted the invasion’s early days. The idea of assassination, apparently trumped up as an excuse to detain Abbas, becomes horribly real in Bobby. Writer-director Emilio Estevez crafts a fictitious scenario leading up to the 1968 murder of Robert F. Kennedy,

who was then campaigning for a presidential nomination in Los Angeles. RFK had been calling for an end to the Vietnam War, which many of the movie’s characters also seek. D.O.A.P. is a faux documentary that imagines what might happen if George W. Bush were shot in Chicago. This highly controversial BBC television production, directed by Gabriel Range, is set in 2007. The film depicts massive protests in the streets sparked by the continuing occupation of Iraq, making it clear why the American commanderin-chief has been targeted. In The U.S. vs. John Lennon, by David Leaf and John Scheinfeld, antiwar forces go up against Lyndon Baines Johnson and Richard Nixon. The latter president maintained an infamous enemies list, which put the rock icon in some good company. After demonstrators by the hundreds of thousands took to singing, “All we are saying is give peace a chance,” federal officials spent years trying to deport the Liverpool lad who had composed that catchy anthem. All that the Dixie Chicks seem to be saying is, in the words of Martie Maguire: “Can’t we start a dialogue instead of creating fear?” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

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

Delirium tremens made EMMA INEPT at shooting billiards. We hear the same clichés over and OVER, MONTH after month. It’s no surprise that the hot blondes were PUT AHEAD of the rest. A bejeweled heliport was the sultan’s CUSTOMARY LANDING site. Victoria’s Secret now features a large LATEX ASSORTMENT. I wonder if the RADIO WAVES that pass through us do damage. Bush and his fans were glad to see GORE GONE from the race. Mickey Mouse and Goofy emceed a GALA SKATING event. Two years ago FLORIDA HOSTED the Miss Superficiality Contest. There is no such snake as a VERMONT ANACONDA.. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HIDE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: The last two examples may be misleading, but it all depends on your state of mind.

ith Yoko Ono on hand, perhaps the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival had little choice but to give peace a chance. The iconic New Yorker visited Canada last week on behalf of The U.S. vs. John Lennon, which chronicles the nightmare she and her late husband endured as a result of their outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War almost four decades ago. This documentary was among at least eight selections at the cinematic event — which ran September 7-16 — that are likely to resonate with anyone concerned about America’s current

SEVEN DAYS

scene@â€?BAD AS I WANNA BEâ€? HIP-HOP SYMPOSIUM, MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, FRIDAY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 & 16. Imagine an academic conference where the panelists spend most of an afternoon trying to define the conference topic itself. Hyper-intellectual, postmodern schmooze-fest, anyone? But in spite of its ivory-tower setting, Middlebury Collegeâ€™s â€œBad as I Wanna Be: A Hip-Hop Symposiumâ€? wasnâ€™t your typical rumpled-corduroy affair. After a Friday evening showcase of â€œMidd Kidâ€? verbal stylings, Saturdayâ€™s panel discussions shook up the debate about both hip-hopâ€™s place in contemporary culture and the future of its beat. â€œContent exists at the behest of the people who are profiting most from it,â€? said keynote speaker Greg Tate, a seasoned essayist and Village Voice correspondent. Hip-hop in todayâ€™s globalized media universe, he explained, assumes a disparity between â€œwhatâ€™s happening on the groundâ€? and â€œwhatâ€™s flying through the air.â€? Other presenters agreed that any honest discussion about the art form must be anchored in cultural politics: Todayâ€™s all-powerful mass media actually sets the parameters of hip-hop culture while claiming to represent it. In fact, if we ignore all the â€œblingâ€? and bikinis, plenty of socially conscious rhymes simmer below MTVâ€™s hip-hop radar. Murray Forman of Northeastern University studies Boston-area â€œâ€˜hood workersâ€? â€” social workers and educators in urban communities who help young, underground artists â€œkeep it conscious,â€? no matter how much violence and misogyny pours through mainstream airwaves. By promoting media literacy and grassroots activism, â€˜hood workers defend creativity from what he called the â€œhip-hop industrial complex.â€? And Syracuseâ€™s Gwendolyn Pough insisted that even general consumers and (gasp!) academics will inevitably become integral components in this growing vanguard of hip-hop resistance. â€œA hip-hop feminist is more than someone who listens to hip-hop and feels conflicted about it,â€? she cautioned. â€œFor all of us who are complaining about the status of hip-hop, what are we doing to change it?â€? Forman took this idea even further when he suggested, â€œWriting and research about hip-hop is also hip-hop.â€? So maybe academia is hipper than we thought? MIKE IVES

LISTENING IN

Friendship shatters stereotypes. When actress Julie Fitzpatrick was a schoolgirl, her best friend Elizabeth was hearing-impaired, but that didn’t stop the pair from discussing classes, boys and life over ice cream sundaes. Fitzpatrick later moved away to pursue theater, and the two fell out of touch. Not long after, Elizabeth died. In an enigmatically titled one-woman show featuring music and humor, Fitzpatrick pays tribute to her pal with a sensitive exploration of the worlds inhabited by deaf and hearing people. The production premiered in 2005 at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater and, just like last year, the shows coincide with National Deaf Awareness Week. Fittingly, all four performances offer American Sign Language interpretation.

CURTAIN CALL Before the advent of modern communications and transportation, small-town Vermonters were entertained by itinerant vaudeville acts often performed in front of elaborately painted theater curtains at local town halls and granges. This weekend, two events herald an effort to restore the state’s 175 painted-curtain heirlooms. A symposium kicks off an exhibition of curtains and sidepieces painted by 19th-century artist and dramaturge Charles W. Henry, featuring a talk, a portion of Henry’s play Battle of Wits performed by student dramatists, and modern-day oldtime theatrics by the Burlington-based Last Lunar Vaudevillians. Folk-art appreciators who miss Saturday’s festivities can take a tour of theater curtains in the Lamoille River Valley — maps and brochures are available at each of the five locations.

MOVEMENT MODEL

In Psalm 119, a troubled person asks God to “order my steps . . . and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.” This unfaltering determination to stick to one’s life path inspired choreographer Ronald K. Brown’s “Order My Steps.” A collaboration with hip-hop poet Chad Boseman, it features a musical mix from reggae to minimalism. Brown founded his company EVIDENCE more than 20 years ago. He has wowed the modern dance world with his spiritual, kinetic storytelling centered in Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Also at this week’s performances: “Grace,” a fast, club-move-centric piece set to tunes by Duke Ellington, Roy Davis Jr. and Fela Kuti, and the ritualistic “Walking Out of the Dark,” rooted in a Burkina Faso-based coming-of-age ceremony.

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

SEPTEMBER 21-27

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Go against the flow. Buck the system. Push the river. Entertain the possibility that everything you know is at least half-wrong. Do you catch my drift, Aries? What I’m trying to tell you is, champion the underdog. Ignore the obvious. Disprove the conventional wisdom. Bet on the dark horse. Be a devil’s advocate. Shall I continue my rant until you have absolutely no doubt what your mission is? Buy a new goldfish and name it “Jaws.” Figure out a way to lick your own elbow. Eat with your non-dominant hand. Say prayers while you’re having sex. Acquire a pet mosquito. Watch TV while standing on your head.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Very few raindrops are actually raindrop-shaped. A far greater number take the form of doughnuts. These doughnutty raindrops are your power objects, Taurus — your magical symbols. I hope they inspire you to look for the wide-open spaces in the middle of every stormy downpour. I trust they will alert you to the possibility that there’ll be windows of opportunities at the heart of the drizzle.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The more time you spend playing games in the coming days, the smarter you’ll be. Miniature golf, Monopoly, Twister, gin rummy, paintball, scavenger hunts, tag, Dungeons and Dragons — doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it moves you to engage in exuberant fun for no other reason than because it feels so good. Playing games will be the Truth and the Way, the secret to enlightenment, the key to cultivating robust health and making good decisions. Make this Chinese proverb your motto: A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): For years, I lived 13 miles from the top of Mt. Tamalpais, the highest peak in the San Francisco Bay Area. Every day I gazed at it from afar through my window or while riding my bike in the hills, marveling as it glid-

ed through its ever-shifting relationship with the sky. It was a remote yet familiar beacon, an awe-inspiring touchstone against which I could measure my own undulating rhythms. Now I’ve moved to a new home at the foot of Mt. Tam. I feel as if I’ve become part of it — am embedded in its protective and majestic aura. It’s no longer an objective gauge, but rather an intimate tone and texture in my subjective experience of myself. I predict that you will soon undergo a comparable shift, Cancerian: from being there to being here; from outside to inside; from strength absorbed at a distance to power felt up close.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Biologists say the speed of thought in the human brain is normally 150 miles per hour. But I’m guessing that in the coming weeks, ideas and intuitions will be zipping around your grey matter at a higher rate. It’s even possible they’ll break the sound barrier on a regular basis (761 miles per hour), meaning you may hear sonic booms coming from inside your skull. Don’t be alarmed if this occurs; in fact, be excited. It’s a sign that your intelligence is heating up, burning off tired old beliefs and outmoded theories in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Acting on the authority vested in me by the Prophets for Profit Syndicate, and speaking on behalf of the planetary rhythms, I can assure you of this: If your cash flow has been too slow and you remain passive about it in the coming weeks, it will corrode your mental health. If you lift a finger to upgrade your relationship with money, on the other hand, cosmic forces will rush to your aid with unexpected support. Therefore, in the name of all that’s holy, I hereby declare the beginning of a new age in which you conspire and agitate and work hard for a new wage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Think how it is to have a conversation with an embryo,” writes the poet Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks. “You might say, ‘The world outside is vast and intricate. There are wheat fields and mountain passes and

orchards in bloom. At night there are millions of galaxies, and in sunlight the beauty of friends dancing at a wedding.’ You ask the embryo why he or she stays cooped up in the dark with eyes closed. Listen to the answer. ‘There is no other world. I only know what I’ve experienced. You must be hallucinating.’” Now I say to you, Libra, that you are the embryo Rumi and Barks are addressing. Consider the possibility that they’re telling the truth. Come out and take a look around.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Women are traps that lay for men everywhere,” said Franz Kafka, “in order to drag them into the infinite.” If you find this idea sexist or heterosexist, formulate your own version. One way or another, you need to get lured or yanked into a bracing experience of boundless possibilities . . . into a delightfully shocking immersion in eternal truth . . . into a whirlwind tour of sublime, brain-scrambling beauty. If an uncanny woman will do the job for you, great. If an amazing man works better, or maybe a magical member of an in-between gender, seek that person out. Play hard with the limitless, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to the esoteric spiritual tradition of Western hermeticism, you have a personal Holy Guardian Angel who’s always ready to give you help, as well as to lovingly kick your ass. Modern scientists snort derisively at this notion. They’re fundamentalist materialists, denying the possibility that something can exist if it’s not perceptible by our five senses or by instruments that humans have invented. If your temperament and training align you with the scientists’ ideology, I’ll ask you to temporarily suspend your skepticism so that you might join other Sagittarians in trying the following experiment: Act as if you have a personal Holy Guardian Angel whose job it is to help you lose your illusions, liberate you from suffering, and make you smarter. What clarifying questions will you ask the HGA? What precise assistance will you request?

7Dcrossword

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In May 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess made an unauthorized attempt to seek peace with Britain. He flew there alone from Germany, parachuting onto a Scottish farm as his plane crashed. According to some accounts, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was quickly informed of Hess’s odd visitation, but deferred taking action because he was too absorbed in a Marx Brothers movie. I expect there’ll soon be a metaphorically comparable event in your sphere, Capricorn. My advice? Be like Churchill. If loose cannons or obsessed messengers or self-important proselytizers demand your attention, put them on hold and stay engrossed in whatever’s amusing you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 2000, I logged 34,000 miles during my travels across America to meet my readers. During a three-year stretch earlier in my life, I was a homeless gypsy, sponging off friends and staying in hostels from Vermont to South Carolina, from Italy to Greece. But in recent years I’ve gone on extensive pilgrimages of another kind, carried out through imaginal exercises, lucid dreams, and shamanic meditations. According to my reading of the omens, Aquarius, you can generate rich blessings for yourself by getting away from it all in either of these two directions. What’s better, to head out into far-flung places in the outer world or the inner world? It doesn’t matter.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): One historian has figured out that during the last three and a half millennia, humans have been at peace throughout the world for only 230 years — less than 7 percent of the time. How would you rate your own personal proportions of war and peace, Pisces? I certainly hope you’re serene, centered, and secure far more than 7 percent of your life. But whether or not you are, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to boost your average dramatically. The actions you take and the attitudes you adjust could set in motion changes that will make peace a more common everyday experience. How hard you willing to work to establish a Pax Pisces?

Grafton Hello. My name is Grafton and I am a distinguished 4-year-old long haired neutered male brown tiger. You will find me surveying things in one of the Clubhouses with my kitty friends. I am playful (at times), affectionate, social, confident, attentive, and gentle. I am looking for a family with kids of all ages who will be gentle and respectful of me. I love to be petted, held, and brushed. Good thing because I have long fur. I get along with other cats and am very outgoing. I don’t have any experience with dogs, but may be okay with them if they have experience with cats. Mostly I just love to be with people and to snuggle up really close. I would make a very loving addition to any home. Visit us at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

Laidback, fun, honest, independant red-haired Irish girl seeking cute, active, interesting men for new adventures. I try to maintain a balance between a healthy lifestyle and going out and having a good time. I’m not into game playing so I’d appreciate it if you weren’t either. No expectations from this site, just looking to meet men with similar interests. Join me for a cocktail sometime? nature_lover, 38, l, #102006 FEELS RIGHT smart, pretty, sensual & spiritual iso butterflies from the deep kisses and strong hands of one man. Show me yours and I’ll show you mine... (pics that is). heavenseyes, 37, u, l, #102019 FUN-LOVING COUNTRY GAL Looking for someone who loves the mud as much as I do. A friend first, who wouldn’t mind an afternoon on a fourwheeler, mud run, drag race or motorcycle ride up the mountain. I love watching movies, reading, chillin for some drinks at the bar, but you can usually find me in the backyard perfecting my wheelies and getting dirty. jthebikechick, 23, l, #102018 A REAL DEAL-BREAKER BABE Normal woman nice looking smart, aware, and weird in a good way searching and waiting for my normal, nice looking man partner who is in shape...is conscious and aware of his stuff, not afraid to face the vagaries of life, and silly as all get out.

Seeking man to challenge my mind, accept the real me and walk in the rain with me. joy2me, 48, l, #101478 JUST A WOMAN LOOKING FOR... What I am looking for in a person (see below) is what I strive for in myself. I am not looking for a father for my child, he already has one–I am looking for someone for me. You are honest, optimistic, patient, non-judgemental, healthy, confident and socially/environmentally responsible. You laugh easily, smile often, enjoy children and love the outdoors. water_ lily, 34, l, #101813 SOMEWHAT SHY BUT SWEET MUSICIAN I’m a fun-loving girl who still knows when it’s time to get down to business. I try to find beauty in everything and not let the small things get to me. For now I’m just looking for friendship with the possiblity of something more.

I am likely to say what is on my mind, while working hard not to be hurtful. Work is part of my life but is not my life. I am team player...not a follower, a vocal active participant. English, 50, l, #101876 DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD... I still haven’t found what I’m looking for either. I’m a girly girl who likes action movies and going out for beer. Maybe I’m a mixed message? Whatever I am, I’d like to meet somebody else who is also comfortable with whatever they are and can laugh at whatever life throws at them. Cheers! look2thelady, 30, u, l, #101870 PICTURE COMING...HOLD YOUR HORSES... Looking for a tall, fun (maybe goofy?), spontaneous guy. Let’s hit the hills together and braid wildflower wreaths for our hair... Not! Ok, maybe listen to some music or go hiking for a start. I am a very fun, confident, voluptuous lady.

Respond by email directly through our dating website with a membership or call the phone number below. IF AT FIRST... Kristofferson once wrote of Jack Elliott, “He’s a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.” Although I’m all truth, the walking contradiction part does apply well to me. I believe life is something to enjoy, though I’d hardly consider myself a party animal. I enjoy stimulating conversation and am a thinker, though I’m certainly not an intellectual.

SINGLE MAN MEN SEEKING WOMEN JUST FRIENDS

I want to make a T-shirt that says...: Worst President Ever. My favorite snack is Annie’s barbecue cheddar bunnies. Something I said I’d never do but did anyway was let myself get sloppy drunk AGAIN. “NICE GUY” SEEKING “NICE GIRL” Typical “nice guy” here. My mild-mannered alter ego is pretty mild...hopeless romantic, a bit of a clown, somewhat out of shape, game nut, sports fan. The type who always tries to be helpful and feels that laughter is the best medicine. But I’m not mild-mannered all the time. :-) You are...beautiful, inside and out. And you’re looking for me! Mangler, 36, u, l, #101939 I CAN MAKE YOU SMILE Do you wanna’ smile again? Me too. Right, here’s where I’m supposed to put out the self promo part. I’ve decided to go over the top: outrageously animated, and funny, generous, gorgeous, creative genius, philosophic, and.. (wait for it) oozing money. Also, I have children: 4 older kids. I see them twice a month and look forward to it each day. eyecandoit, 43, l, #101938 DON’T FORGET YOUR TOWEL Pagan before it was popular. College educated, low key, blue collar kind of guy. Spend time outdoors at both work and play. I wrestle horses, ride motorcycles, sail boats. Interested in finding a female companion not a life partner; age unimportant, attitude is, to share adventures, travels and appetites.

Lola

the Love Counselor Dear Lola, Like “Unsatisfied in Underhill,” I had trouble reaching the Big O into my thirties. Thanks to my patient husband, I discovered three things that might help her. I got off the mini-pill, which dried up my natural secretions. We stopped using latex condoms, so I no longer got vaginally numb or irritated during sex. And I bore children, which altered me physically and psychologically, allowing me to let go “down there.” His recent vasectomy has also boosted both our libidos. I want to wish “Unsatisfied” good luck. You are not alone. And you will make it big someday — and often! It’s Easy (now) In Essex Dear It’s Easy, Congratulations on your success, and thanks — on behalf of all the “Unsatisfieds” out there. And a huge thanks on my own behalf to everyone for your trust and support over the last eight years. It was good for me, but there comes a point in the life of every love columnist when it’s time to stop writing about sex and start having some. I leave you in the capable hands of my sexy colleague, Mistress Maeve. You’ll find her daily blog at sevendaysvt.com and as a weekly column in the paper. Email her your questions at maeve@ sevendaysvt.com. Enjoy yourselves — and each other. I know I will! Love,

Lola
