BUSH LIES My hatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to Seven Days and Red Square for running the timely and accurate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Hijackersâ&#x20AC;? ad [Sept. 8]. Mike Ruppert at www.fromthe wilderness.com has done a lot of research on this issue and has a new book coming out that clearly shows 9/11 was your tax dollars at work. The real villains here are the bovine and spineless U.S. media, including most of the so-called progressive media, who have completely failed in their responsibility to investigate the many lies, implausibilities and discrepancies in the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. To this day the media continue to repeat the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous â&#x20AC;&#x153;boxcutter 9/11â&#x20AC;? narrative as if it were the truth. Shame on them. The great Global Oil Empire wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go down without a fight, but it will go down. The only question is, how much of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will it take with it? Tom Fugate

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE Thank you, Peter Sterling and Chris Pearson, for protesting Peter Freyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flippant attitude towards third-party candidates [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letters,â&#x20AC;? September 15]. Several months ago I was taken aback by Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assumption in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? that Al Gore lost New Hampshire in 2000 because of Ralph Nader. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Perhaps Al Gore didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capture the imagination of the people of New Hampshire because he failed to offer a real alternative? (Of course I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out election fraud Ă la Florida, either!) Entertain this analogy: You are on a long car trip and hungry. You take an exit, but the only eateries available are McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Burger King. Would you dine at one of the fast-food giants, or reluctantly get back on the highway? (The latter would have to be my choice for health and ethical reasons.) Then picture the same exit another year and finding a third option: A locally owned eatery with a wholesome menu. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to illustrate is the fact that one of the reasons almost half our population does not vote is that there is no candidate

thought was best. If enough voters felt the same way, that person, whether Democrat, Republican or whatever, won. The will of the people. Apparently thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer true. The duopoly in place dictates that winning candidates be either Democrats or Republicans, and that voters should feel guilty if they vote for anyone else. As a result, the last 30 years have seen both corporate parties shift to the right. Disparity between rich and poor has increased dramatically: the safety net dismantled, more Americans in prison, fewer workers in unions and fewer women with access to safe and legal abortions. Now, opponents of the immoral, illegal and imperialistic war for oil in Iraq are told that we must â&#x20AC;&#x153;hold our nosesâ&#x20AC;? and vote for John Kerry. His supporters agree that their candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on Iraq differs little from Bush, but that his positions on other issues sets him apart. Unfortunately, the war is the issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with billions going to war, whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the money for health, education or welfare? This election, learn all you can about each candidate, then vote your conscience. Remember that a vote for either Bush or Kerry means continued war and occupation. And please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t base your vote solely on fear.

BURLINGTON

IVAN’S WAKE On September 7, Hurricane Ivan devastated the island of Grenada. It was also the first day of school across the island. The next morning there were no schools, nor were there nutmeg trees — the island’s main export and the second-largest producer of the spice in the world. The cocoa walks that had provided Cadbury Chocolates the basis for their fine candies were also gone. And 60,000 people out of 90,000 were homeless overnight, with an additional 10,000 in shelters. The island razed by 155 mph

winds, torrential rains and tornadoes is in dire need of the most basic things in life: food, water and shelter. Even with an outpouring of donations, it is not enough to feed 90,000 people daily, not to mention rebuilding homes and lives. Two weeks later, 30 percent of the roads are still impassable, making relief basically impossible in the isolated mountain communities. They need our help. Please link hands with Grenada as we collect light summer clothing, basic items of hygiene such as tooth-

brushes, toothpaste and combs, canned foods (and manual can openers), dry beans, rice and powdered milk, baby needs (cotton diapers and pins), vegetable seeds, flip-flops, appropriate clothing for the elderly, and school supplies. There is no such thing as a small gift; one item is one thing Grenada does not have at this time. Anyone wishing to help with a much-needed monetary donation, please contact us to direct your gifts. Grenada Relief in Vermont is organizing and can use volunteers. Anyone who will, simply pass the word on to friends, family, colleagues, churches and schools. As soon as we have drop-off locations secured with times and dates, we will be notifying newspapers across the state. Please help a small, independent country that changed the date of its national holiday, Thanksgiving, to October 25, in recognition of the day the U.S. intervened in 1983. You can contact Grenada Relief in Vermont at minke@ wcvt.com. It’s all about linking hands. Cindy Kilgore GRANVILLE

under Douglas economically. I emailed Jack with a pointed response, saying that I wondered whether he just meant millionaires like himself are doing better with Douglas in office, or everyone, because from what I see, people are certainly economically worse off now than they were four years ago. I also said in my email that I hoped Jack would lose the election. I received a response from the McMullen office “mail guy” telling me that my email was hateful and he wouldn’t show it to the candidate. That seemed pretty bizarre to me, so I called their office and spoke with someone who told me that we are all better off under Bush and Douglas. I asked him to send me that information, to which he had no response. Looks to me like McMullen is basing his candidacy on the same thing as Bush; pretend everything is going all right when, in fact, the ship is sinking, and most people will go along with it. And calling anyone who names the naked emperor a pessimist is just a diversion. We are in trouble. Our young people are in Iraq killing women and children and bombing Muslim holy sites, and coming home suicidal and damaged by the horrible experiences they are forced to participate in by the administration.

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

The Rise and Fall...

O

ne day, somewhere out there in the future, the world’s number-one history bestseller will inevitably be The Rise and Fall of the American Empire. Picture, say, a book with 25 chapters. The question is: Which chapter are we living through today? Like Rome on the downside, our American Empire appears to be suffering from seriously bad leadership and costly foreign conquests gone sour. In political discourse, the absurd has become the norm. It’s Tuesday morning. I’m watching President George W. Bush address the United Nations. Thank God, he’s wearing an American flag lapel pin, or I wouldn’t know what country he’s from. The Invader of Iraq is preaching freedom and peace and the rule of law, everything the world knows his actions have betrayed. That explains why the representatives of the other 190 nations on Earth are sitting on their hands. There will be no applause for the world’s latest Butcher of Baghdad. They say that he who does not know history is doomed to repeat it, and the current president of the United States is Exhibit A. Meanwhile, Democrat John Kerry, the challenger to our mad emperor, flails in the weeds created by the countless, double-talking compromises he’s made on the way to his current perch. The very words Prince Long Face once used to stifle Howard Dean’s antiwar candidacy have come back to haunt him. Picture the states of mind of the 1300 Vermont men and women in the National Guard who are on alert, waiting for deployment orders. When they watch the TV news footage from Iraq, where in the eyes of the locals the only good American appears to be a blown-up or beheaded American, what do you imagine they’re thinking and feeling? Like previous emperors, George II continues to lie to his people, telling them the conquest of foreign lands is going well, and victory over the barbarians is near. But no one will be surprised when our president follows up his November election victory with a religious revival of the Selective Service System. With National Guard troops running out, King George will inevitably call our young to arms in the name of his Holy War. Folks, 2005 will not be a good year for 19- and 20-year-olds. If only it was just a movie and you could leave the theater, eh? But it’s not. So what’s your answer? Which chapter in The Rise and Fall of the American Empire do you think this is? The Clavelle Mystery — It’s looks like this gubernatorial campaign will be remembered as one of the strangest ever conducted by a major party challenger. We thought Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle had been pointing toward this moment for years. The man Mayor Bernie Sanders passed the torch to in 1989 has jumped through all the hoops, including switching from Prog to Democrat. Then why is he running such a green-as-grass campaign? Since Friday, the Jim Douglas campaign has been having a great laugh as it

aired a deadly 30-second spot starring Peter Clavelle. The footage was captured by the Douglas camp’s man behind the camera, James Candido. It shows Clavelle at his big press conference last week where he unveiled his bold, progressive Vermonters First health-care initiative. The screen shows Clavelle bobbling a question from Freeps reporter Candace Page. Candy asked the obvious: Does the $90 million in health-care costs Moonie says his plan will “capture” result from a $90 million tax increase? The answer is “no,” but in the 20 seconds it took Clavelle to get there, he didn’t exactly exude gubernatorial confidence. Douglas campaign director Neale Lunderville told Seven Days, “The ad shows Clavelle’s got a plan he can’t explain. It says all we need to say without saying anything ourselves.” Clavelle’s immediate response to the ad? Zippo. Zilch. Nada. It’s as if he wants to keep his name out of the newspapers and off the evening newscasts. In fact, in the last five days, the only missive from the Clavelle Campaign has been a skimpy, one-page campaign appearance schedule. It lists seven “events” for Monday through Friday, two of which are candidate debates/forums with Douglas. At times Clavelle seems to be just going through the motions. Then there are times like last week’s kickoff debate in Montpeculiar. Pedro played a superb “Daniel in the Lion’s Den,” appearing before the solidly pro-Scissorhands audience of Associated Industries of Vermont. Utility execs, business lobbyists and folks such as Rep. Kurt Wright, Douglas media buyer Steve Smith and Kirby think-tanker John McClaughry made up the attentive crowd. Clavelle surprised many by eagerly going right after Gov. Jim Douglas on leadership, or rather the lack thereof. “I want to lead this state,” said Mayor Moonie, “but I want this state to lead the nation!” Clavelle was all fired up. It was the best we’ve ever seen him. The Winooski FrenchCanadian pummeled Gov. Scissorhands with peppery economic left jabs and solid health-care right hooks. Clavelle was landing, but the audience sat on their hands like the loyal pro-business Republican soldiers they are. Meanwhile, every Douglas comeback was treated as an oration from the lips of Caesar and met with hearty applause. Great theater. This Wednesday evening the second debate will be held before a much different audience at the Barre Labor Hall. It’s sponsored by the Livable Wage Campaign. With about 40 days to go, time is quickly running out for Peter Clavelle. P.S. Not dead yet! Tuesday afternoon, just before deadline, the Clavelle Campaign suddenly awoke from its silence and released a snappy, out-of-the box attack ad featuring Betsy Ferries (a.k.a. Mrs. Clavelle), and her skinheaded hubbie sitting in a row boat with fishing poles. “There’s something fishy going on,” says Betsy, referring to what the narrator calls INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

Armed and Dangerous

As your parents or grandparents will remember, this was a popular song of World War II, written by composer/lyricist Frank Loesser, whose works later included the Broadway hits Guys and Dolls, The Most Happy Fella and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. That last title really ought to be our national anthem now. But that isn’t what Loesser had in mind. His song purportedly sprang from the actions of Navy Chaplain William Maguire, who “left his altar” during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and manned a gun station for his wounded

Down is up, fiction is truth, momentous realities are made to disappear from the public mind. But who is going to tell the voters? flock, blasting away at the “Nips” and crying, “I just got one of them!! Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!” According to www.frankloesser.com, “Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition” sold more than two million records and one million copies of sheet music while the war endured. Wow! It’s sort of like those magnetic yellow ribbons on the backs of trucks and SUVS, currently making millions of dollars for someone. Nothing like a “catastrophic success” to get the economy moving, as G. W. Bush might say — if he wanted you to think about war at all, which he doesn’t. To clarify: Bush doesn’t want you to think about war in any actual or contemporary sense — let’s say, the two “successes” now catastrophically raging in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dubya wants you to think these operations are going awfully well, that “the Iraqis are defying the dire predictions of a lot of people by moving toward democracy,” as he told New Hampshire’s Manchester Union Leader, and “freedom is on the march,” as he says in every stump speech. But anyone with one eye open knows it isn’t true. Even Republican lawmakers have begun to question Bush’s sanity. “The worst thing we can do is hold ourselves hostage to some grand illusion that we’re winning,” Sen. Chuck Hagel (RNebraska) said at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Iraq last week. “Right now, we are not winning. Things are getting worse.” Gen. William Odom, the retired former head of the National Security Agency, tells The London Guardian that the Iraqi “goal is lost,” adding, “I’ve never seen it so bad between

the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the military. There’s a significant majority believing this is a disaster.” No kidding. Last week, more than 300 Iraqis died in the general slaughter. Fortytwo Americans were killed in June, 54 in July, 66 in August and more than 50 so far this month. Even Tony Blair, that vile opportunist and prime minister of the British Isles, who last year dragged his unwilling people into Bush’s folly, is forced to admit that a “new Iraqi conflict” is now underway. Blair is contradicted in this view by the creepy Ayad Allawi, “Iraq’s interim prime minister,” who assumed power in Baghdad after the phony “transfer of sovereignty” in June. Allawi is now in the U.S., helping Ding-Dong maintain the lie that something good has, or can, or might emerge from this debacle. Speaking in London before flying to Washington, Allawi remarked, “It’s not a second war, as such. It’s a big conflict” — words to reassure even the most skeptical GOP donor. It bears mentioning also that opium production in Afghanistan has outstripped anything seen under the Taliban and, according to Congressional sources, is expected to rise another 200 percent over the next two years. Bush, while puffing on and on about democracy, has just named Afghanistan as “number one on his list of evil drug-producing nations.” As columnist William Greider observes in The Nation, “Down is up, fiction is truth, momentous realities are made to disappear from the public mind.” But who, Greider wonders, “is going to tell the voters?” It won’t be America’s supine press, which is now engaged, to the delight of Karl Rove, in another orgy of self-flagellation over supposedly forged documents concerning Dubya’s draft-dodging tactics during the Vietnam War. I say the “supine” press because, as you can imagine, it’s much easier to lick boots if you’re lying on your back. Nowadays, bootlicking is disguised as “objectivity” or “presenting both sides of the story,” even when there’s only one side, or many sides, and even when they all confirm that the strutting little horror of “Mission Accomplished” in fact shirked his military duty in 1972 in favor of drinking and carousing in Texas and Alabama. But never mind — times don’t change. A “Nip” is now an Arab, a “terrorist” or “radical insurgent.” It makes no difference when you have The Lord on your side. “President Bush supports God, and God supports President Bush, absolutely,” said Judith Manning, an exalted delegate from Georgia to the Republican convention. An inexplicable majority of American voters appear to agree with her. “The [only] two parties whose interests have been advanced [in Iraq] have been the Iranians and al-Quaida,” General Odom sighs in The Guardian. Well, bring ’em on. With the expiration of the assault weapons ban, there’s plenty of ammunition to go around. 쩾

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Tampa, Florida, charged Paul Dana Doucette, 37, with stealing computer equipment, football jerseys and autographed footballs from the John Lynch Foundation’s office during the evacuation for Hurricane Charley. Officers identified Doucette as the suspect when they arrested him for another theft five days later and noticed that he was wearing a brand-new John Lynch jersey. “You know how they still have the creases in them because they haven’t been washed? That was it,” Sgt. Buddy Brogden said, adding, “Some of these criminals, it’s obvious they aren’t thinking.” • Police accused Daniel Waggoner, 31,

Justifiable Fear A Canadian woman with a fear of whales was injured by one.

When she learned it was closed because of the robbery, she reported having seen her husband, who had recently served time for bank robbery. “She said he had no business being in Middletown,” Detective Frank Hensley said, adding that the ex-wife identified Waggoner from a photograph taken by the bank surveillance camera.

Girth of a Nation Fat-acceptance groups, which oppose the medical establishment’s campaign against obesity, objected to the government’s announcement that Medicare now regards obesity as a disease, inviting medical claims for weight-reduction treatment. “Obesity is not a disease,” insisted Allen Steadman, director of the International Size Acceptance Association. “All this does is open the door for the diet and bariatricsurgery industries to make a potentially tremendous profit.” Characterizing stomach-reduction surgery as “stomach ampu-

tation,” Marilyn Wann, a militant member of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, declared that fatness is “a natural human characteristic.” • Providing comfort and mobility for the nearly 5 percent of American adults who are morbidly obese — the fastest-growing segment of America’s obese population — has become a $3 billion industry for the makers of so-called bariatric equipment. Products range from toilets rated to 1500 pounds to oversized but stylish furniture, and from something called a “trapeze,” which helps people who weigh up to 1000 pounds turn over in bed, to $18 nail clippers with long handles. Marketing analyst Gary Epstein told the Associated Press that bariatric products intended not just for healthcare facilities, but also for home use are widely available because their makers recognize that extreme weight is more than a medical condition, it’s a lifestyle. • Twelve rescue workers in Martin County, Florida, were unable to separate the skin of 480-pound Gayle Laverne Grinds, 39, from her sofa during a sixhour struggle to move her from her apartment to the hospital. The rescue team finally built an oversized stretcher to carry Grinds and the sofa, then hauled her in a utility trailer behind a pickup truck because she couldn’t fit in an ambulance. She died at the hospital, still fused to the sofa. According to Herman Thomas, 54, who lived with Grinds, she hadn’t been off the sofa for six years, not even to go to the bathroom.

Cause and Effect and Cause Nadia Hama, 43, who dropped her infant daughter from Vancouver’s

Capilano Suspension Bridge nearly five years ago (accidentally, she insists; deliberately, her ex-husband claims), is proceeding with a lawsuit against the operators of the privately owned tourist attraction. The suit claims that Capilano Suspension Bridge Holdings Ltd. was negligent for not warning the public against carrying children across the narrow bridge, which is “inherently unstable and dangerous.” Hama said she suffers from emotional stress and is unable to hold down a job because of negative publicity from when she originally filed the lawsuit right after the incident.

Hopping Along

A

fter two and a half years as executive director of the South End Arts and Business Association, Lorna-Kay Peal is saying good-bye. Peal turned in her letter of resignation the Monday following the September 10-11 Art Hop. By general consensus, this year’s event — the 12th annual — was the biggest and best ever, involving 400-some artists, more than 100 businesses and at least 30 volunteers. And in a way that success represented a coming of age for SEABA, a group comprising artists and entrepreneurs along the Pine Street corridor south of Main. Not long ago, “We were a sleepy little organi-

I don’t think we want to become an organization that puts on the biggest event in Vermont. “We want to make [Art Hop] better quality, not necessarily bigger.” MARK STEPHENSON

zation that people didn’t even know produced the Art Hop,” says Peal. That’s why one of her first goals was “branding” the signature event: changing the logo, getting a website and pounding the pavement for sponsors to help take the Hop to the next level. Peal did get many more businesses involved, both in terms of financial support and as sites on the Hop. “They all really recognized the benefits of participating in the arts,” she says. “That’s what has added to its success.” That and a lot of long, underpaid hours — all year long. Though organizing the Art Hop has been Peal’s largest and most visible task, SEABA “is an arts and business association, so I’m constantly working on other projects… to keep our constituents informed,” she says. Indeed, the petite, stylish woman with snowwhite hair has maintained a presence at other meetings and events in the community. Last year she also joined the board of the Fleming Museum. But all this work takes its toll. Though Peal is quick to praise SEABA volunteers, hers was primarily a one-woman show. She won’t say she’s burned out, just that her life lacks balance: “I moved to Vermont to enjoy some of the things it offers, and I don’t have time for them,” Peal says. “I brought [SEABA and Art Hop] to a place that is what I think they hired me for. Now it’s time to pass it on.” “It was hard to hear that,” says Mark Stephenson. “She’s done a wonderful job; we couldn’t have asked for a better person.” Stephenson is the proprietor of Vermont Energy Contracting & Supply Corp. and has been chair of the SEABA board since June. “When we interviewed Lorna, the salary was next to nothing, and it was a part-time position,” he says. “We had a group with very little experience but good potential.’” The success of Art Hop two years ago

paid for the director’s position, Stephenson says. After this year’s Hop, he suggests, sustainability is key. “We need to reassess our goals; I don’t think we want to become an organization that puts on the biggest event in Vermont,” Stephenson says. “We want to make [Art Hop] better quality, not necessarily bigger.” It’s too soon to say what SEABA will look for in Peal’s successor — the board is meeting this week, Stephenson says. “But with an event like the Art Hop that’s created as much excitement as it has, putting out a job offer is going to be a lot more exciting.” For Peal’s part, she’s ready for a fourth career: She worked in gifted education for many years, and was a curator at the Cincinnati Art Museum before taking the position with SEABA. “Coming here and having this opportunity has been phenomenal,” Peal says. “I’d like to see what’s next for me.” Review copies have arrived for Chris Bohjalian’s latest novel, Before You Know Kindness, and it’s already garnered glowing blurbs from Kirkus and Barnes & Noble. The 431-page “family saga” is due in stores next month. The Lincoln-based author certainly has a winning way with words: He’s got nine novels under his belt — one of them, the Oprah-sanctioned Midwives, was a New York Times bestseller and was adapted to both stage and screen — and a book of essays selected from his weekly Burlington Free Press columns. That’s why AuthorBytes, a digital PR and marketing company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was astonished to learn Bohjalian didn’t have a website. “The reason why,” says the author, “was because if you click ‘Bohjalian’ on Google, 4000 pages come up, and I didn’t understand why the world needed one more.” Actually, he’s being modest — this week a search spawned 10,500 hits. Of course AuthorBytes was all too happy to offer its services to Bohjalian, and as a result readers can not only get the usual bio and bibliography on his site (www.chrisbohjalian.com); they can hear him summing up his new novel, as well as last year’s essay collection Idyll Banter, on “multimedia book trailers.” With a single click, a little faux videocassette package opens up, book-like, an incongruous antenna pops out of its top, and pictures appear to accompany Bohjalian’s voice. Following his capsule preview of Before You Know Kindness, he notes, “I had a spectacular time writing this book; I hope you’ll have a terrific time reading it.” If it seems a little smarmy, the AuthorBytes signature device likely will be a hit with fans; Bohjalian’s popularity with book groups suggests readers enjoy hearing and seeing the amiable author, even if it’s in a little box on their computer screen. AuthorBytes must think so, too — the company’s own site presents Bohjalian’s homepage as a sample of its wares. 쩾 Email Pamela at pamela@sevendaysvt.com

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

12A

Dear Cecil, For years I’ve tolerated my friend’s need for a strict vegan diet. I am lectured nearly daily about the benefits of veganism and the injustice of my murderous, meat-craving lifestyle. It’s gotten to the point that we can’t go out anywhere decent because there are few places vegan-friendly enough to suit his tastes. He has many redeeming qualities, so our friendship remains strong despite our philosophical differences. However, if there were an issue that would be a deal breaker, it would be his terrible, terrible gas. Its pure, unmitigated evil is indescribable. I’m pretty sure that in a highly concentrated form it could change laws of physics. Just God-awful. To make a dumb question long, are the rumors about vegan body odor, and specifically vegan gas, really true? Or is my friend just a naturally awful-smelling individual? Scott, via email Notwithstanding your assurances about redeeming qualities, Scott, I have to wonder what’s keeping this relationship going. It can’t be your friend’s pleasant personality, since he continually hectors you and accuses you of sordid crimes. It isn’t his scintillating conversation, unless lectures on your murderous, meat-craving lifestyle are your idea of diverting chat. It’s obviously not his attractive physical presence. So what are you getting out of this — stock tips? Weekly payments? Great head? Call me a wuss, but I didn’t feel the question of intestinal gas was one I could profitably broach with the Vegan Society. Instead, as so often, I went browsing on the Internet. Googling vegan flatulence turned up 2600 hits — considerably fewer than trepanation (skull boring), which netted an alarming 31,200, but more than enough to make you think twice about signing up for any long road trips with a bean zealot. Suffice it to say that flatulence is a common complaint among and about vegans and, for that matter, vegetarians generally. (For those of you who don’t know many vegetarians, they come in various flavors; vegans

are the most hardcore, eschewing not only meat but animal products of any kind, including milk and eggs.) The problem is the body’s inability to fully digest the complex carbohydrates so abundant in the vegetarian diet and the consequent excessive production of gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. Vegetarian nutritionists claim this phenomenon abates once the intestinal flora adapt to the new menu; perhaps your friend is an intransigent case. However, I suspect high gas production is inherent in any diet consisting predominantly of plant products. Cows and sheep, for example, are marvelously adapted to all-veggie fare, yet they generate such prodigious quantities of methane-laden flatulence that some authorities regard them as major contributors to the greenhouse effect and thus to global warming. Some vegetarians have seized on this as further evidence of the wickedness of animal husbandry, to which skeptics mindful of people like your friend reply: Oh, sure, let’s quit having the ruminants pass gas all day in distant fields so we can do it ourselves at close range. A matter avoided studiously in most discussions of this subject, and to which I now must delicately turn, is odor. While it seems inarguable that a vegetarian diet eventuates in increased flatulence, the gases produced in greatest volume — the aforementioned hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane — are odorless. The noxious fragrance of which you complain is produced by minute amounts of other digestive byproducts, typically containing sulfur, such as hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol and dimethyl sulfide. Whether a vegetarian diet is uniquely productive of such irritants is the subject of hot debate. Some vegetarians claim that, if anything, they and their kind are more, not less, sweet-smelling than the meateating majority, and what’s more that they taste better. (And you thought my comment above about the various flavors of vegetarian was only a figure of speech.) I pass no judgments, observing only that foul smells are likely to be associated with particular high-sulfur foods rather than with a vegetarian diet in general. I have it on solid authority, for instance, that if you pack in the garlic you will stink like a son of a bitch. Broccoli and cauliflower are also notable in this regard. Will power and muscle control won’t save you — if you don’t shed the noisome molecules in the form of flatus, they’ll be absorbed into your bloodstream and later waft from your breath or pores. Some will say animal protein delivers far more sulfurous compounds than any plant protein, and that with modest care a vegetarian can minimize offense. Maybe so, but your friend doesn’t sound as though he frets about the opinions of others. Assuming you continue to truck with this character, can’t you socialize by phone? CECIL ADAMS

They were, of course, talking about $175 jeans tailored to love up your flirty ass and shoes meant to marry perfectly with your delicate sole. But the article might as well have included your daily media intake. Unless you’re a full-time media junkie, you’re already making selections. Some read only the newspapers; others listen only to NPR; most people get it straight from the TV. And that’s where the Fox News Channel plays a dangerous game of chicken with the formerly upright all-news player, CNN. Director Robert Greenwald’s recent documentary Outfoxed shows all too clearly how that station jigs to the strings of the neocon despots of the Bush administration. And now

Within the multi-voiced medium of the Internet, customizing is a given. Amid the avalanche of information, the cacophony of opinions and the rash of lies, you quickly locate the sources worthy of trust — pretty much. The paper in your hands is an alternative newsweekly, and a contributor to Altweeklies.com, a compendium of the week’s best-of “alt-weekly” stories. Managed by the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, to which Seven Days belongs, alt papers also submit stories to Alternet. A fiercely leftist online read, Alternet not only follows the presidential candidates as they lie and parry; it delivers fresh, magazinestyle pieces on the environment, health and welfare issues, media watch-dogging

and even the occasional shard of fun — tempered fun; it’s liberal, after all. There are similarities to Disinfo. com, a site that used to muddle about with laboriously wrought fantasy-tinged esoteria based on obscure laws of physics incomprehensible to anyone who has already graduated from college. Galvanized in this election year to live up to its smart name, Disinfo now actually disabuses the powers that be with cogent reportage on the sorry world in which we live. All of these are fine if you like your news edited. Most of us, however, like to know about it roughly as it happens, and this is where bloggers come rushing in. The Internet is essentially bound up like one great wire service with the reader as the eager cub reporter tearing off the page as it chugs in over the telegraph. A million sites update headlines as they arise, and more than a few have developed cult followings, particularly

among the newsmakers themselves. Right-wing reactionary Matt Drudge, whose eponymous “Report” has beat traditional media to the punch several times, broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal after hearing of it from a disgruntled Newsweek reporter whose editors had canned the piece. Even before the “60 Minutes” team had signed off with its exposé documenting President Bush’s alleged dodge of Texas Air National Guard service, a blogger known only as “Buckhead” had already posted to his Free Republic site. There, he or she delivered a thorough explanation of font styles and 1970s-era typewriters that made the documents that Dan Rather had flourished seem immediately suspect. “I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old,” Buckhead wrote. “This should be pursued aggressively.” Indeed, and it has been. Technorati. com, which claims to monitor more than three million blogs — “in real time so you can discover the conversations happening now” — shows, on the day I write this, that most of them are concerned with the business records of a Kinko’s outlet in Abilene, Texas. Technorati also breaks its avid compendium of “conversations” into topics, most notably the 2004 election, allowing you to see at a glance what topics are lighting the most fires. Similarly, Daypop.com collects the most popular links of the day in order to provide a snapshot of worldwide gossip — and even news. Memeorandum.com seems to have a

devoted slate of independently wealthy ’net heads who grab a provocative article from a major newspaper such as the Washington Post and then examine it silly. This is great if you like to read professional news stories posted in real time, before they hit the page and the streets, but it’s of limited interest to those who don’t have the patience for personalities who gripe about the day’s events instead of getting real jobs. To learn about what it’s really like in Iraq right now, Jason Van Steenwyk, the self-proclaimed “Nattering Nabob of Nebuchadnezzar,” posts daily on his Counter Column. A serviceman stationed there, and a truly middling voter with a hint of swing about him, Van Steenwyk offers somewhat interesting perspectives on America as seen from his post in the Middle East. These are in contrast, of course, to news he reads on the web and those U.S. radio shows he streams to his outpost. I don’t like him, but I suppose that’s not the point. And finally, there is balance. Fact Check, a nonprofit, non-partisan academic endeavor funded in part by the Annenberg Foundation, crunches the numbers that leaders, present and wouldbe, fling about. When Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry recently proclaimed that the middle class was shrinking, Fact Check initially pooh-poohed his assertion. Then they re-checked their numbers against the latest census and humbly posted a recant — and recount — showing that Kerry was indeed correct: The middle class and even the richest sectors of society are growing smaller. The poorest among us, however, have plenty of new peers. Which is perhaps why customized $175 jeans get above-the-fold coverage. Fewer and fewer of us can afford to buy them. I know that because I read it online. m Web Feat intends to vote until she can’t vote no more. Write Less Than Two More Months to webdfeat@yahoo.com.

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

A ’Shroom of One’s Own

V IMAGE Paula Routly

ermont’s super-soaker summer may have rained on your parade, but it was a wet dream for mushroom hunters. “It doesn’t get better than this,” says Robert Resnik on a recent search for off-trail edibles. Mushrooms are everywhere — “You just have to look,” he says. Although he won’t reveal the coordinates of this particular spot — like fishermen, serious fungus followers are loathe to share their intel — Resnik quickly proves to be an enthusiastic guide to the woods’ wondrous warts. Ecstatic is more like it. He greets late-season chanterelles with groans of pleasure, and squeals at the sight of four dozen pear-shaped puffballs growing on the side of a dead stump. He admires the rosy russula his “Eastern European relatives used to gather” and even praises the snot-like “jelly babies” he picks out of the ground. Latin name: Leotia viscosa. Biologically speaking, fungi are an essential part of the forest ecology. As intermediaries between dead and living matter, they serve a dual function: facilitating decay by secreting acids and enzymes that break down plant matter and assisting living plants with nutrients they can’t get any other way. Scientists are currently looking into their potential as pesticides, eco-filters and anti-viral agents. “Medicine” never tasted so good. Resnik and his ilk are interested in fungi as food — and will go the distance to find them. Perhaps not as far as France, where the pig-assisted pursuit of truffles is an annual culinary tradition. The New England woods are full of delicious strains, as evidenced by seasonal “specials” at finer restaurants like Trattoria Delia and Pauline’s. Shade and moisture promote growth, and the mushrooms last longer in chilly temperatures. “Our cold and wet weather is pretty ideal,” Resnik says, palming two slithery, walnut-like green and yellow blobs. “It’s a slimy business. You’re dealing with slugs, rot, that sort of thing. You can’t be squeamish about texture.” Flavor is largely what motivates this 51-year-old amateur mycologist, who is a co-director of the Fletcher Free Library. Growing up, Resnik never got a taste of wild mushroom risotto. His mom cooked recipes out of American Housewife. “‘Things on crackers’ was one of her specialties,” he recalls. Now a selfdescribed “foodie,” Resnik makes a mean morel soufflé. Some mushrooms deepen the taste of a dish, he explains. “Others add high notes.” Today Resnik’s on the lookout for porcini, a large, flavorful mushroom that looks like a hamburger bun.

You can’t have them unless you pick them yourself, or somebody you trust gives them to you. ROBERT RESNIK It’s “almost irresistible” in a dish he prepares with chicken and leeks. Resnik is also partial to black trumpets. “With eggs,” he vows, “they’re life-changing.” Freshness is another motivator for mushroom hunters. And you can’t get much more organic. “You can eat them without worrying about Round-Up or Agent Orange,” Resnik offers with a chuckle. And at the end of the day, he hauls home free food that’s simply not available anywhere else. City Market may stock shitakes, but they don’t have the “honey mushrooms” that are now starting to appear on Vermont forest floors. “You can’t have them unless you pick them yourself,” he points out, “or somebody you trust gives them to you.” Email Paula at paula@sevendaysvt.com

ROBERT RESNIK It’s a crucial qualifier, and one that keeps most 21st-century folk buying button mushrooms from the grocery store. If you don’t know your spore, picking your own can be deadly. Amongst the mild-mannered morels and unassuming shrumps are “some dragons,” as Resnik puts it. He pulls a poisonous pigskin puffball out of the ground and gives it a squeeze. A puff of black seed escapes, like smoke. Still, “scleroderma” is kid stuff compared to the deadly “amanita” — legend has it the stately white mushroom served as Lucretia Borgia’s murder weapon. The toxins attack the liver and kidneys. “It’s 10 to 18 hours before you start screaming,” Resnik reports, pointing out the ubiquitous and archetypal fungus that could kill “three of us.” Resnik used to sell mushrooms to local restaurants — they fetched between eight and 15 dollars a pound — but no longer has the time. Also, “There are some people selling who shouldn’t be,” he warns. “I don’t want to get into that.” He was also alarmed to find a local health-food store selling a wild variety they recommended eating raw — a no-no, according to Resnik. “I’m just afraid somebody’s going to buy from a pinhead and that’ll be it.” He may not be a doctor, or even a scientist, but Resnik is considered a regional expert on the subject of deadly fungi. The New England Poison Center has called him seven times this summer to identify fungi in potential poisoning cases. Typically, they send a picture of the mushroom over the computer. “Sometimes you’re looking at a chewed-up one,” Resnik says. There have been house calls, too. Resnik was summoned to Fletcher Allen when a 20-month-old baby was admitted for eating an unidentified mushroom. “They sent a taxi for me,” Resnik recalls. “Everybody’s excited. I walk in and the doctor is holding the mushroom.” It was a harmless russula. “On the way back, the cabbie wanted to know if the little girl was going to be all right.” Despite the risks involved, Resnik is mostly self-

taught in mycology. As he likes to say, “There are no old, bold mushroom hunters.” While an undergrad, he took some forestry courses at the University of Vermont, but switched to English because he dreaded dendrology. Now he rattles off Latin names like song lyrics: Hydnum repandum, Laccaria laccata. His first academic exposure to mushrooming was through a Church Street Center class. Richmond resident Roz Payne, Vermont’s other mushroom expert, taught the course in the fall of 1986. Resnik recalls, “It was a day like this — there were mushrooms everywhere.” He spent the winter reading up on the subject and now owns approximately 150 mushroom reference books. He’s passed on his wisdom, too, through the Vermont Mycology Club. The group of fungi fans used to meet regularly for mushroom hunts and slide shows. But there were too many hangers-on who just wanted to be led to the best spots. Others joined the club in hopes of getting turned onto psilocybin ’shrooms. There are some pychedelics out there, Resnik acknowledges, “but most of them don’t grow in this climate.” These days, Resnik is more likely to be searching solo. But having an audience brings out the educator in him. He turns one specimen upside down and gently runs a knife against the mushroom’s pleated underskirt, or gills. A white liquid wells up where he’s touched it. “Lactarius piperatus,” he pronounces with glee. “There’s a kind of milk inside.” Over the course of the season, this fungus will be taken over by another to yield a “lobster mushroom” — orange-colored, fishy-smelling and delicious. Resnik finds a perfect porcini, too, and before long, it’s frying in olive oil at his home in Burlington’s South End. He throws in some sample chanterelles and black trumpets for variety. No seasoning can improve on the rich flavor of these earthy offerings that are somewhere between meat and vegetable, land and sky. You’d expect nothing less from one of nature’s most functional — and fleeting — foods. m

You Have the Power How to Take Back Our Country and Restore Democracy in America

“Jim Douglas’ Bush-League attack ad.” Then Peter gets a bite on his line. “You wanna know the catch?” he asks, lifting a fish out of the lake. “It’s bull… It’s a bull head!” OK, OK. It’s not over yet, even though sources say the Fat Lady has been seen entering the building. Rivers Whacks Dubie — Cheryl Rivers wasn’t horsing around Monday at the Gov-Lite debate sponsored by Vermont’s World Trade Office. Ma Rivers politely and firmly raised a world-trade issue that made one of the participants uncomfortable: incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie. A “foreign government,” Rivers noted, paid all the expenses on his trade junket to the Far East last fall. Dubie totally ignored Rivers’ dart, as if the audience hadn’t heard her, and stuck to his unique, “Aw shucks, ain’t it great being Vermont’s lieutenant governor” rap. It’s worked for him so far and, with another Progressive Party contender to split the vote of Vermont’s left, why not stick with it? Dubie’s gotten 41 percent of the vote in each of his races. Two years ago, Prog messiah Anthony Pollina’s 25 percent made Dubie’s 41 percent golden, and Democrat Peter Shumlin bit the dust with 32 percent. As Brian joked, “I’m proud I had more of a percentage of the vote than Bernie Sanders and Abraham Lincoln had when they first got elected.” Indeed, Sanders won the 1981 Burlington mayor’s race — a three-way-affair — with 40.1 percent. Honest Abe won the presidency in 1860 with just 39.8 percent of the popular vote. Anyway, thanks for the history lesson, Brian. Now back to the trade junket. “I never felt it was appropriate,” Rivers told Seven Days afterwards, “for an elected official to to accept a free trip from a foreign government. I was worried a little bit,” said Ma Rivers, “when we’re hearing about jobs going to China.” Rivers said she learned last week that one of the companies on Dubie’s junket, “an over 100year-old Vermont company, is closing and moving 80 Vermont jobs to China. “For heaven’s sake, Vermont Tubbs snowshoes — I have a pair myself!” exclaimed Rivers. “I wondered why a foreign government would pay for a trip, but it appears they got their money’s worth.” Dubie stoutly defended his Far East freebie, claiming previous state officials such as Govs. Madeleine Kunin and Howard Dean had also gone on international trade junkets free of charge. The Dubester admitted, however, that to date, his trade mission to Taiwan and China hadn’t produced even one new job in Vermont. Asked if he’ll handle trade junkets the same way if reelected, Dubie replied, “Probably not. Probably in the future I’ll work

with the Appropriations Committee and I’ll say, ‘If this is an important trip, I’ll work it with the Appropriations Committee.’” Live and learn, eh? P.S. Commerce Sec. Kevin Dorn was also on the China trip. Dorn told Seven Days his travel tab was also picked up by the Taiwan Cultural Affairs Office. A representative of Tubbs of Stowe was on the trip, he said. Tubbs had recently been bought out by K2. A K2 rep, Dorn recalled, was on the flight from San Francisco to Shanghai. Sec. Dorn did not recall her name. “It was widely known at the time that K2 would eventually move the jobs out of state,” he told Seven Days. WCAX Bash — Sources say about 200 revelers had a bang-up great time Friday at Shelburne Farms as WCAX-TV celebrated its 50th anniversary. Lots of fun and humor, led by Vermont’s number-one standup comedian, Jim Douglas. Gov. Scissorhands, we’re told by reliable sources, had everyone rolling in the aisles. Jeezum Jim Jeffords didn’t make it. But Jeezum’s press secretary, Diane Derby, was on hand to ask Ch. 3 to please destroy their old Jeffords tapes! And Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders were in fine form, too. St. Patrick reminisced about his good old state’s attorney days when Mickey Gallagher and Tony Adams were the news hounds. And Ol’ Bernardo humorously implored conservative owner Red Martin to quit giving “huge campaign contributions” to his opponents every two years! Also on hand was Plattsburgh’s dynamic and openly gay Republican Mayor Dan Stewart, who, we’re told, brought down the house with a hysterical “personal” tribute to that “cute anchorman,” Marselis Parsons. Yours truly, too, was there in spirit, as GM Peter Martin, son of Red, followed the pols and joked that the tri-partisan political tributes demonstrated how “fair and balanced” WGOP, er, sorry, WCAX’s news coverage is — something one wouldn’t know, said Martin, “by reading Seven Days!” Thanks for the plug, Pedro! Good time had by all. A correction of last week’s WCAX item: Owner Red Martin did not marry the boss’ daughter. Rather, Red’s mom married the boss, Charles Hasbrook, making an already-grown Red Martin the owner’s stepson! As Dan Rather would say, “I’m sorry.” And yes, the original license was owned by UVM’s College of Agriculture, but Hasbrook bought it in 1954. The rest is history. Dr. Voodoo Eyes — When the U.S. Attorney issued a press release last week announcing a rare press conference, everyone thought the indictment of former Mary Fanny CEO Bill Boettcher was imminent. Instead, it was Dr. David

Chase, a.k.a. Dr. Voodoo Eyes, who was indicted. Chase is accused off performing cataract surgery on hundreds of patients who didn’t need it. The 100-page indictment reads like an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” It’s available online at www.vtd.uscourts. gov. Click on “Decisions/Filings of Interest.” As for Boettcher, the investigation continues. One possible difficulty for the government may be demonstrating Big Bad Bill of Hospital Hill made any personal financial gain by sneaking $200 million of construction costs past state regulators. Many of the fraud statutes that U.S. Attorney David Kirby is likely looking at appear to require that a defendant profit by the fraud. The only party that appears to have profited by the fraud is the medical-industrial complex called Fletcher Allen Health Care. Media Notes — The good news is that all you Anya Huneke fans will still be able to catch her on New England Cable News. The bad news is, Anya’s moved to Beantown. Back when WVNY-TV tried to restart its news operation in 1999, Anya was the blonde environmental reporter. Despite the new faces and new blood, Ch. 22 was unable to crack the stranglehold WCAX and WPTZ have on the local TV news market. Ch. 22 pulled the plug after almost three years of trying. Everyone got pink slips. Anya bounced back by signing on with NECN as their Vermont reporter, reincarnated as a brunette with glasses. A more intelligent look, perhaps? It’s working. The talented New York City native is NECN’s new medical beat reporter. NECN already has former Ch. 3 reporter Kristin Kelly. The two former Vermont TV newswomen demonstrate that beauty and brains make for a powerful combination. Best wishes, Anya! Also on the Vermont news front, there’s a new columnist at the Rutland Herald/Times Argus. Familiar face, too. That’s because Barrie Dunsmore used to appear in The Burlington Free Press. Dunsmore, the retired ABCTV foreign correspondent, was dumped by Freeps editorial page editor David Awbrey last spring. In fact, Awbrey’s dismissal email to Dunsmore appeared in this column. He kindly informed Dunsmore that the man who wanted Dunsmore gone was rightwing Publisher Jim Carey. Carey’s famous for muzzling the paper’s editorial page in 2000 and preventing the publication of editorials on civil unions. Ironically, the Rutland Herald’s editorial page won a Pulitzer for its editorials supporting the very thing Carey outlawed. Awbrey was himself made redundant, as they say, a few months later following publication in June of his infamous, factually inaccurate editorial slamming Rep. Bernie Sanders for something the congressman did not do. Dunsmore’s column will run every other Sunday. m

Bad Company?

How small towns are reversing a century of corporate personhood

P

orter Township in northwestern Pennsylvania was an unlikely hotbed for an anticorporate uprising. The tiny rural community about an hour north of Pittsburgh has a population of only 1500 people, many of STORY whom are staunch Republicans with deeplyKEN held conservative values. PICARD But after the Alcosan Corporation, a Pennsylvania sewage-sludge hauler, threatIMAGE ened to sue Porter Township in 2002 for TIM passing a local ordinance regulating the NEWCOMB dumping of sludge in their community, town officials decided that their citizens Tom Linzey had taken enough crap from corporations. speaks at Literally. So on December 9, 2002, Porter Vermont Law School, became the first municipality in the South Royalton, United States to pass a law denying corpoThursday, rations their rights as “persons” under the September 30 at 12:45 & 7 p.m. law. Weeks later, Licking Township, another rural Pennsylvania community facing a similar lawsuit, passed a more expansive ordinance revoking all constitutional rights of corporations within their jurisdiction. Since then, dozens of other municipalities across Pennsylvania, some with as few as 1000 residents, have followed suit, reversing nearly 120 years of corporate encroachment on the rights guaranteed to all citizens under the U.S. Constitution. Prompted by the failure of state and federal regulatory agencies to protect citizens’ health, safety and quality of life from large-scale corporate activities, these municipalities took matters into their own hands and reclaimed their right of selfrule. Though the laws fly in the face of more than a century’s worth of legal prece-

dents that say corporations are “persons” protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, thus far these ordinances seem to be working. Now some Vermonters are looking to follow Pennsylvania’s example and draft similar ordinances here to address environmental and public-health problems stemming from large corporate activities: the influx of big-box stores, the spreading of toxic sludge, even the proposed power increase at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. Proponents of this strategy suggest that these laws may even be used one day to challenge undemocratic principles that were written into the World Trade Organization charter and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Championing this fight is Tom Linzey, a 35-year-old Alabama-born attorney who is the executive director and co-founder of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. Founded in 1995, the Pennsylvania-based CELDF was initially set up to provide free legal services to small community groups that were fighting big environmental battles: toxic-waste incinerators, landfills, municipal sludge fields and corporate factory farms. Since then, however, the nonprofit law firm has expanded its mission to help municipalities around the country roll back corporate rights through local ordinances. CELDF conducts “democracy schools” — intensive, weekend-long seminars that trace the history of corporate rights and help citizens reframe local issues according to a new paradigm. Once such democracy

school was held two weeks ago in Putney for 20 Vermonters from the Brattleboro area. Linzey, who speaks on September 30 at Vermont Law School, explained in a recent interview how this movement began. In the mid- to late1990s, large out-of-state agribusinesses began applying for permits to build large-scale hog farms in rural Pennsylvania. Local residents, who overwhelmingly opposed these farming operations, sought the help of state and federal regulatory agencies like the EPA. However, these communities soon realized

vania — some 400 townships in all — seeking their help at fending off these corporate farms. So CELDF began researching how this issue had been handled in other states, particularly in the Midwest, where 300,000- to 400,000-head hog farms are common. This was when Linzey made a startling discovery: Nine Midwestern states have laws banning large corporations from owning or controlling farms. In fact, Nebraska and South Dakota went so far as to incorporate that ban into their state constitutions. So CELDF copied

that waging their battle on the regulatory front wouldn’t stop undesirable businesses from moving into town — it would merely lessen the harm those activities caused. The proposed factory farms were huge operations — 5000to 6000-head hog farms — that would dwarf neighboring family farms. Before long, CELDF was inundated with phone calls from local officials across Pennsyl-

the South Dakota constitutional amendment and used it as a model for local ordinances. Ten townships and five counties in Pennsylvania have adopted the anti-corporate farming ordinance. To date, only one has been overturned by the courts. During this same period in the 1990s, CELDF also began receiving calls from community groups and local officials who >> 22A

were trying to stop the permitting of sludge fields. Sludge, the solid-waste byproduct of wastewater treatment plants, is not considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazardous wasteâ&#x20AC;? by the federal government. Although it can contain as many as 600,000 different toxic contaminants, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires testing for only 11 of those contaminants.

rural Pennsylvania because of its impact on human and animal health. In 1995, two youths died after coming into contact with a newly applied sludge field. In an effort to prevent more sludge from being dumped in their communities, 68 Pennsylvania townships passed anti-sludge ordinances. The corporate waste haulers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take these ordinances lying down. They challenged the laws in court, arguing that townships were denying them their constitutional rights and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the legal authority to pass these laws. The corporations also tried to hold town officials personally liable for passing these laws. They based their argument on a federal civil rights law that was passed in the aftermath of the Civil War in orders to protect African-Americans from state-sanctioned discrimination. Since these corporate sludge haulers had deep pockets, it was-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corporate rights sometimes get talked about as some academic or abstract concept like something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught in a college political science class,â&#x20AC;? Linzey says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, what folks have said is that our vision for our community does not include land-applied sludge. It does not include factory farms. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the community we want.â&#x20AC;? Critics were quick to label the movement the work of liberal, anti-business activists. But as Linzey points out, about 80 percent of the communities he works with are overwhelmingly conservative and Republican. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep in mind, these are rural township officials with the shitkicker boots and the John Deere hats. These are the guys who clear and salt the roads in the wintertime,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not activists. They are folks who saw a problem and tried to do something about it.â&#x20AC;? How effective have the ordi-

Among them was Larry Bloch, a small-business owner from Brattleboro who is with Vermonters Restoring Democracy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an umbrella organization of groups that deal with issues ranging from genetically modified organisms to nuclear power to social and economic justice. Though its members come from a variety of political backgrounds, what unites them, Bloch explains, is a desire to combat corporate dominance over local decision-making. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a predatory corporation comes in and says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in no matter what and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if we push out your independently owned local businesses,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect only progressives or only conservatives,â&#x20AC;? Bloch says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To hear the stories from Pennsylvania was inspiring because these were people who had never been activists and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blessed with a lot of free time or money or the inclination to shake things up.â&#x20AC;? Representative Sarah Edwards

(P-Brattleboro) agrees. Edwards, who also attended the democracy school, says the seminar helped reframe the debate in her mind, especially on the issue of nuclear power. “It’s helping me to know who my adversary is,” Edwards says. “I’m not talking about individuals. I’m talking about the corporations. “I have friends who work at [Vermont] Yankee. I know management who work at Yankee,” she adds. “This is not about them. This is about the system, the machine of the corporation squeezing out the diversity of voices that is necessary to have a good and healthy democracy. Democracy schools already have been held in six states. By next year, there will be five permanent “Daniel Pennock Democracy Schools” — named for one of the two boys who died after coming into contact with the toxic sludge. In the past, these schools have largely addressed environmental issues. But that’s charging, Linzey notes. Activists in Roxbury, Massachusetts, for example, hope the Pennsylvania model can be used to challenge the pharmaceutical industry on its policies pertaining to AIDS drugs. Others see the approach as a way to counter international agreements like NAFTA. John Berkowitz is executive director of Southern Vermonters for a Fair Economy and Environmental Protection. He points to a law passed in Massachusetts 10 years ago that prohibited municipalities from signing contracts with companies that do business with Burma — a country with an abysmal human rights record. After Japan and the European Union filed a complaint about the law with the WTO, in 1997 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Massachusetts laws as unconstitutional. “Wait a minute. Who’s deciding what’s best for a community?” Berkowitz asks. “Is it absentee corporations and people working for trade organizations like the WTO? We’re finding that people’s local decision-making abilities are being trumped by trade agreements that basically say, ‘You can’t decide that at the local level.’” But as Linzey reminds people who attend CELDF’s democracy schools, local communities can reclaim the power of self-rule. Like hurricanes that feed off warmer waters, the anti-corporate movement draws strength through legal provocation. Says Linzey, “This is about shifting the paradigm to let people understand that the courts do step in to defend community rights over corporate rights.” 쩾

T

hose laundry detergent commercials have it all wrong. Soccer clothes don’t go straight into the wash — they go straight to the streets, thanks to a fashion phenomenon that kicked in with STORY the union of Victoria Adams, a.k.a. SARAH Spice Girl “Posh,” and Brit soccer superTUFF star David Beckham. And it shows no sign of clearing soon. Unlike the basketIMAGE ball trend, which clad kids in knickerMATTHEW length shorts, or the geeky golf craze, THORSEN soccer fashion is actually as stylish as it is sporty — Jennifer Lopez wears the same brand as 10-year-old boys. That brand is Hummel, an 81-yearold business whose clothes, bedecked with signature chevrons and bumblebees, have caused one of the biggest buzzes in the world of haute couture. Far from New York City’s Seventh Avenue or the runways of Milan, Hummel operates from a humble space on Burlington’s Kilburn Street. But its vision is grandiose: to revolutionize the way sport and fashion collide. “The industry said we were nuts,” says Hummel America president and CEO Brian Kukon, recalling the moment when he introduced the world’s first pink cleats. “Our feeling was that Hummel would ignite an industry.” From the smattering of girlish colors appearing on soccer fields to the line’s iconic details showing up in gossip magazines, that ignition seems to be well underway. But will it fizzle out by next season? In 1923 a Danish shoemaker, inspired by runners who wore spiked shoes, founded Hummel to bring similar footwear to soccer and handball players. Though it thrived through the

1970s, afterwards the company dribbled into obscurity — until early last year. That’s when Kukon, a former soccer player who had worked with Adidas and Asics during their hot streaks, came out of retirement to work for Hummel. “All of a sudden soccer started coming back,” Kukon says, recalling a couple of meetings with Diadora and Umbro, two other soccer companies that had hoped to recruit him and his marketing skills. “My feeling was, ‘There’s got to be a brand out there that somebody can blow the dust off of and rejuvenate.’” After discovering that Hummel’s American headquarters was only 40 minutes from his Pennsylvania home, Kukon picked up the phone, offered his consulting services and began the massive turnaround process. Hummel had been offering polyester tracksuits and other fashion items through a third party, but sales were sluggish, so Kukon bought out the licensee in an effort to streamline the business. “The way we needed to grow this brand was always to be clear, concise, consistent,” says Kukon. “Whatever we were thought of in the soccer community had to match what was thought of us in the fashion community.” After establishing a sparkling showroom with soaring ceilings in New York City’s SoHo district, Kukon sought to relocate headquarters to an equally inspirational location. Hoping to be important to, rather than swallowed by, a community, he looked at small cities along the East Coast with access to major metropolitan areas, a strong and well-educated labor pool and a unique vibe. “Burlington moved very rapidly to the top of the list,” says Kukon, who

had never visited the Queen City before drawing up a list of cities that included Annapolis, Maryland, and Providence, Rhode Island. Having been bumped up from consultant to president and CEO, he was quickly smitten with Chittenden County once he toured the area, met with city leaders and considered the Vermont vibe. “This state thinks it can always be independent and do whatever it needs to do to have its own identity, which matched Hummel. And Burlington — minus the Birkenstocks — matched Hummel.” How important was a thriving soccer community? “Not at all,” says Kukon. “We don’t look at anything the industry typically is doing, or other brands are doing; we can tune out all of the other stuff that’s going on around us.” Nor did it matter that the Green Mountain State had a reputation for grunge, and had been mocked for its lack of fashion sense in an August 2003 New York Times article. “Vermonters don’t seem to think much about style,” wrote Valerie Frankel during the time of Howard Dean fever. “Brace yourself, perhaps, for Timberlands and Cherry Garcia T-shirts on Inauguration Day 2005.” That same month, Hummel moved into its Kilburn Street office space, which is small but bright, open and stocked with rainbows of samples. Rows of hightech soccer gear display jerseys, shorts and cleats in everything from basic blackand-white to Carolina blue, lavender and tangerine. Meanwhile, delicate haltertops with splashy chevron and bumblebee graphics dangle alongside tiny denim hot pants, gold satin “Geisha” jackets and “Thai” boxing pants.


SEVEN DAYS | september 22-29, 2004 | feature 25A Chances are, many of these fashion pieces will next appear not only in boutiques such as Fred Segal and Henri Bendel but in the pages of In Touch or Us Weekly, thanks to Hummel’s current It-status. No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani wore Hummel in her “Hey Baby” video, while J. Lo’s chevron-flecked tracksuit earned a best-dressed nod from People. Ethan Zohn, winner of Survivor: Africa, sports Hummel nearly everywhere, it seems, and has partnered with the company to promote Grassroot Soccer for international AIDS awareness. For Hummel, which doesn’t advertise — yet — it’s free publicity, without product placement. “People call us and say, ‘You guys are doing great on MTV — Ashlee Simpson looks great in Hummel, and Carmen Electra…’” says Kukon. “And I’m like, ‘I’d love to take credit for it, but it wasn’t our brainchild; they went into a store and bought it. For whatever reason, Hummel has become the brand with celebrities, and they’re willing to pay for it.” Designed by both Danish artists and Burlington’s Select Design, Hummel’s street wear is high-end, with prices to match. A black T-shirt emblazoned with a shiny, multicolored silhouette of a stiletto-clad, nude woman leaning on a chevron, part of the spring 2005 collection, will set you back $70, while a denim hoodie vest will cost $150. Kukon is confident that Hummel can out-maneuver the fickleness of the fashion industry

Sure, the cleats, which are handsewn from ultra-thin kangaroo leather (to help the player feel the ball better), appeal to well-paid athletes. “I see a player put this on, and his eyes roll in the back of his head,” says Kukon. “It’s the comfort factor… When you go into a Mercedes dealership, you don’t ask the salesperson why this is an expensive car.” But regular folks are also buying these shoes, which are less expensive than a new pair of skis. Recently, Kukon received a call from a soccer mom in tears — not because she was upset, but because her son had just played the game of his life in a pair of new $350 Hummel Golden Goals. “It was 7:30 in the morning,” says Kukon. “I got goosebumps. I said, ‘That’s a great story.’ I’m so glad we heard it from a mom.” While Hummel doesn’t sell direct to consumers, its products are widely available in outlets across America, and the popularity stretches beyond major cities. “It’s as fast as we can get it to any area in the country,” says Kukon. “Wherever we are in the United States is where the kids gravitate to and the players gravitate to.” So how’s Hummel faring in its own back yard? “Sometimes we’ve walked into The Waiting Room [in Burlington] and there’s somebody wearing a Hummel jacket — that’s pretty neat — or I’m driving down the street and I see a person wearing the pants,” says Kukon.

and celebrities’ tastes. “We’re a brand that’s been here since 1923, so we have heritage,” he says. “And we’re a two-pronged company. Between fashion and soccer you’re going to have your dips and your growth, and we’re not even close to being in a mature cycle yet.” If fashion falters, Kukon reasons, Hummel can fall back on its core business among soccer players. But while some athletes have swarmed around the hot, new, head-to-toe color lines, others are suffering from some sticker shock from Hummel’s cleats, which range from $110 to $400. (Other brands go for $35 to $200.) “I had some hummel’s [sic] last season, before they moved ‘upscale,’” writes one participant in the soccerpulse.com forum. “This new line of ‘vault collection’ shoes is ridiculous…Who the fuck wears yellow cleats anyway?” You’d be surprised, says Kukon.

In Chittenden County, Hummel is sold at Ecco on the Church Street Marketplace and at New Horizons in Sports, a Williston-based catalog company. Though Ecco did not return calls for comment on Hummel’s appeal among downtown strollers, Kukon says his products sell as well there as they do at Amy Chan’s superstylish shop in SoHo, Manhattan. “We like the head-to-toe color combinations,” says Nancy Johnson of New Horizons. So far, the new line of colors for women has gotten a mixed reaction among soccer players — but the tide is turning. “Out of Vermont, it’s been very well accepted,” Johnson says. “In Vermont, the teams seem to want to stay with traditional colors. But I do see, across the state, a handful of teams who are beginning to — I think the word here is brave — something different.” 쩾

from all those TV makeover shows. Unlike “Queer Eye” or “Extreme Makeover,” however, we didn’t have much time… or a big budget. So while we didn’t exactly buy anything for these four plucky Vermonters, we did come up with a lot of excellent advice — with the help of numerous local clothiers, jewelers, skin-care experts and hair stylists, of course. We also asked our models to indicate a “personal issue” they wanted help with — regarding style or anything else. You’ll find all our words of wisdom sprinkled through this fashion spread. But first, let’s check out our Fab Four… BEFORE!

HOLLY WILKINS

DEBBIE ROBERTS

ELMORE AGE 43

CLARENDON AGE 49

How could we not take on a biker chick whose road name is Cupcake? Holly was game for anything, as long as a revised hairdo would fit under her motorcycle helmet. And, by the way, she hadn’t changed her hairstyle in 20 years! She also hated her glasses, and for good reason. A baker by day, Holly confessed that jeans, T-shirts and boots “are about it for my fashion.” She wanted to feel “stylish but not pathetic.” Her “personal issue” is one that plagues everyone eventually: “I want to feel more attractive, to myself and others, and don’t want to feel that middle age is creeping up on me. I want to be a strong, sexy woman, to whom age isn’t an issue.” Hear, hear.

Deb is a vivacious mother of two and grandmother of three — including a brand-new baby girl this month. We didn’t think she really needed a makeover, but she insisted it was time for a new look. Deb’s shoulder-length hair did have coppery highlights that were a tad too brassy for her coloring and dark eyes. She’s been a receptionist for an optometrist for 16 years and likes to dress comfortably. She’s also been stuck in neutral — shades, that is — and black. Deb needed some brightening, including her choice of makeup colors, and a fresher look to match her youthful appearance. “I wanted someone to tell me what to do, how to make a change. I’ve been doing the same things for a long time — I’ve been wearing the same lipstick for six years!”

EMILY SLOANE BURLINGTON AGE 23 Emily came to us at 23 going on 15 — she confessed she owns one dress, which she’s had since high school. The photo she sent led us to immediately dub her “Ax Woman.” Emily is nothing if not outdoorsy, and a recent Peace Corps stint in Burkina Faso did nothing to improve her fashion instincts. In short, Emily needed to look more like a grown-up, and more like a woman. One challenge she faces — unlike a lot of us — is being very petite. How to find flattering clothes without resorting to the children’s department? Her other request was how to furnish a new apartment on a budget. The Seven Days advice team suggested that Emily buy bigger, more expensive pieces at stores that offer payment plans, then pick up accessories at less-expensive and second-hand stores and auctions. We also recommended she buy original art from local emerging artists who don’t charge much yet — so much cooler than slapping up posters! “I have been jumping from one fashionless black hole to another for many years… Now that I’ve abandoned the shrubbery for the glamorous city lights of Burlington, I fear that my ax-swinging lifestyle has provided grossly inadequate preparation for the hipsters that surround me.” Time to blaze a different kind of trail.

ROBERT ROOT WILLISTON AGE 43 Rob’s youthful appearance and considerable energy belies his age — and the fact that he manages the meat department in a local grocery store. His personality comes through in his other occupations: He’s a musician, playing bass in The Mighty Loons and other bands for years; and he’s an upand-coming filmmaker. Rob has a weekly TV show on Channel 15 and was nominated for a Bessie in the category Outstanding Documentary Film. He aspires to develop both stage and screen careers, and that’s one reason he asked Seven Days for help. Rob wanted to look more stylish without sacrificing comfort or being overly flamboyant, and wanted a confidence-boosting outfit to help create an air of professionalism. “I feel that I could use a fresh look that would enhance my rock ’n’ roll musical side. I need an infusion of personal style. Please!”

EMILY: O’BRIENS SALON University Mall, South Burlington Hair and Skin Care: Stacey Savage

HOLLY: SALON SALON Stowe Hair: Glenn Sautter Glenn gave Holly a fuller, tousled look — up-to-date and easy to care for. Time did not permit coloring, but some subtle caramel-blond highlights were recommended to brighten her face. “You have a wonderful shaped face; shorter hair with texture would be more contemporary. Longer layers for for fullness; converting bangs into a more layered look creates texture.”

PHOTO: JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

Makeup: Montana Sutton Montana recommended a concealer one to two shades lighter than skin tone to clear up any imperfections. She also suggested an exfoliant to freshen skin and minimize pores, and an eyebrow wax to give the brows a good arch. The Aveda products Montana used were subtle — Holly is not accustomed to wearing makeup — but were effective in giving her a softer, more feminine look. “She has a very cool skin tone. I’d want to warm it up a little bit. Try to bring her green eyes out a little more with pinks and coppers… the same copper color on the inside of your eye defines the shape and brings it out a little bit without being up-front about it.” PHOTO: ANDY DUBACK

Emily said she wanted to grow her hair out, but it didn’t take much cajoling to get her to try something new. Stacey reminded her that even if you’re growing your hair, it still needs to be trimmed and shaped. Emily’s hair is naturally curly with a lot of spring; Stacey cut it with a flattering wedge shape in the back, sides long enough to tuck behind the ears, and a PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN versatile, playful part that can flip either way. She also brightened Emily’s brown locks with some golden highlights, using Aveda’s all-natural lightener. “I recommend a shape that gives you volume on top, and take out the width at the back. We can put in some color panels underneath, then you can flip your hair to the other side for going out and having fun; style it the other way when you’re at school.” Stacey also waxed Emily’s brows to bring out her eyes, and said to repeat the procedure every three to four weeks. “You have big, beautiful eyes, but the first thing I see are these eyebrows.” Stacey tried not to look horrified when Emily admitted her skin-care routine was “rare to none.” “The three basics,” Stacey intoned, “are cleanse, tone and moisturize. If your skin feels dry, you’ve waited too long.” Though Emily’s skin is not too dry yet, her outdoorsy lifestyle will catch up to her. Stacey strongly advised moisturizing morning and night.

THE BODY SHOP Burlington Makeup: Kate Martin Not surprisingly, Emily was clueless about makeup. Kate used a concealer to lighten the dark circles under her eyes, and a light, antioxidant foundation to even out her skin tone overall. Then she accentuated the cheekbones with a bronzer underneath and an “illuminator” on top. Emily’s eyes are big and PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN she’s blessed with long lashes, so Kate made the most of this feature with dramatic brown liner, cream shadow, an iridescent emerald shimmer on the lid and “volumizing” brown mascara. For her lips, Kate went with a coffee-shine gloss — “darker than you would normally do for the daytime, but it will look good in the photographs,” she advised. She recommended a clear or blush-tint gloss for normal days. “No matter what other people tell you looks good, if you’re not comfortable with it, it doesn’t matter.” We all agreed Emily looked stunning. She seemed pretty stunned, too.

THE CENTER FOR COSMETIC & MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY South Burlington Holly presented a modest goal to Dr. Robert Gordon: an even skin tone. The cosmetologist told her the bad news first: “Most skin damage happens before we hit 20; as we age, our skin reflects less light.” And then the good: “Look at the texture of your skin; there’s a lot you can do. The goal isn’t to make 43 look like 19 — it’s how can you look your best.” Dr. Gordon recommended a procedure called Foto Facial, which involves light energy and radio frequency to reduce discoloration of the skin and stimulate collagen production. “People would say that you look more rested or more relaxed. Your skin looks healthier and younger.”

ROB: THE MEN’S ROOM Burlington Hair & Grooming: Stephanie Bauer Rob’s “before” haircut “ was just too plain,” Stephanie said. “He’d cut his sideburns really short, so I wanted to blend everything in. I just texturized it for him and made it really simple.” She used a “forming cream” by American Crew — Rob can wear his hair more conservatively at his day job or funk it up for nighttime fun.

DEB: BIMINI BILLS Burlington Hair: Angela Francis

PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

Angela recommended getting rid of the coppery highlights, which she said washed out Deb’s face and made her skin too pink. First she returned Deb’s base color to the shade she had when younger: a rich, dark brown. “The base color needs to complement the eyebrow,” she said. Since Deb usually experiences some scalp irritation with coloring, Angela used Loréal Richesse, which has less developer, and Redken all-soft shampoo. She then added subtle caramel highlights overall. Deb has never liked short hair on herself, plus she wears hats to protect from the sun and likes some hair to show underneath. Angela agreed she should not go shorter than mid-neck. She took only about an inch off in length, but changed the shape with creative layering. She also advised losing the bangs Deb has worn for years, saying they made her face too square. “Haircutting is about geometry,” Angela said. Deb’s face is narrower at the top and has a strong jawline, so Angela gave her some volume at the top by using a round brush while drying the hair in sections.

Burlington Skin Care and Makeup: Kathy Bradley Kathy is an aesthetician about to launch a new salon in addition to her shop. The most important thing is skin care, she advised: “The better the skin, the less you have to do to cover it up.” Deb has not been using a moisturizer, which Kathy recommended — “especially coming into winter… As you get older, it takes longer for skin to turn over; young skin takes about 28 days, while older skin can take up to 45 days.” Kathy recommended Dr. Hauschka products for Deb’s skin and gave her samples to try out. She also advised using a neutral, moisturizing foundation that would allow her natural skin tone to show through. For makeup, Kathy said Deb should stick to brown or reddish tones, such as burgundy or plum for fall. She could wear black mascara, but could get away with brown for a more natural look. For daytime, Kathy suggested playing up the eyes or the mouth; start with a neutral base and add color for evening. “Deb has a lot of dramatic features,” she said. “I don’t want to overpower them.” She used a neutral lip liner and eye shadow, then applied a light line of eyeliner under Deb’s eyes and a dab of eyeshadow on the inside corners. The effect was to bring out Deb’s dark eyes without looking too “made up.”

Deb’s feet were callused from walking and gardening. Kathy and Beth recommended using an exfoliating scrub or loofah when she showers, and moisturizing the feet afterwards. The pedicure began with a foot bath using lavender and juniper. Beth then trimmed Deb’s toenails and removed existing polish. Then she gave her a foot massage with an exfoliating mojito scrub, and a stronger scrub for the heels. Beth cleaned up the cuticles and finished with a mentholated foot mask. Finally, she applied a shiny, neutral copper polish. Kathy and Beth suggested, “a pedicure once a month is therapeutic and should be a full sensory experience.”

SALAAM BOUTIQUE & PASEO Montpelier Lori Caldwell and Andrea Miksic suggested a 1940s motif for Emily — a look very popular this fall. We thought it looked more 1930s, but either way Emily looks adorable. The two women also suggested ultra-hip colors, such as hot pink and avocado green. To best accentuate Emily’s trim frame, they advised, go with a fitted top and a flowy skirt, or pencil skirt with flowy top. As for footwear, Paseo co-owner Raina Launderville picked out a pair of black boots for the ’40s outfit, and further advised that the “slouch” look in boots is about to become popular. Emily is wearing: From Salaam: A button-down, green-brown sweater top by Easel; green-brown rayon skirt by Salaam; wool crochet hat by Vatsala’s; green sparkly bracelet by Alexia Crawford. From Paseo: Stretch-calf boots by Kenneth Cole Unlisted.

MICHAEL KEHOE Burlington Kerry Lyons helped Rob learn about combining color and texture to create a dynamic impression. Though he looked great in a suit, he was so taken with this casual-butclassy outfit that he considered buying it on the spot. “Instant Elvis!” he suggested. Much more modern and well made, we think. Rob is wearing: Italian lightly stressed denim jeans by Jean Paul Dàmage; blue-andwhite vertical stripe shirt by Ted Baker of London; Cole Haan shoes with NIKEAIR technology.

EYES OF THE WORLD Burlington

SWEET LADY JANE Burlington Owner Rachel Strules said her store aims to provide clothing that can mix and match “in a zippy way, and work with a person’s personality.” Her goal was to create a casual weekend look for Deb. She recommended skirts that fall to the knee, and suggested mauve or plum tones for Deb’s coloring. The outfit she ended up with certainly has zip, and is a new, sassy look for this black-and-neutrals-only lady. Deb is wearing: Hand-sanded, low-rise jeans in Isis denim by Jean Paul Dàmage; black-and-white, Chanel-inspired tweed jacket with flower pin by Kenzie; tee by French Connection.

Sales associate Gary Causer recommended Holly try on a number of styles, particularly with plastic frames, which “will go a long way in hiding the thickness [of the lenses],” he said, and offer a wider variety of colors. But in the end they chose a metal frame with a rounded top to “dress the eyebrows” and a straight bottom. “Your cheekbones work with a nice upsweep,” Gary said, “and you smile with those on a lot more.” We liked the soft brown color with Holly’s eyes, hair and newly pinked cheeks, too. Holly is wearing: Danish-made, titanium-frame eyeglasses in matte brown by Prodesign.

CHAMPLAIN CLOTHING Burlington Beth Campo suggested looking for something “you can ride your bike in, then get off and look good. The main thing is to be comfortable.” She recommended combining a dressy shirt with jeans or black pants — throw on a scarf and you’re all dressed up! Campo is also a big proponent of mixing and matching pieces. By adding a spot of color, she advised, “It’s amazing what you can do with the clothes already in your closet.” Holly is wearing: Black Click coat in Tencel and black pull-on pant by Color Me Cotton; terra-cotta long-sleeve cotton tee by FLAX; multicolored silk-blend scarf by Kathmandu Imports.

LENNY’S SHOES & APPAREL Williston Nancy Driscoll helped Rob pick out an all-Carhartt ensemble that looked rugged but sharp — and we think enhances his banjo playing-style. Rob has enough charisma to bring the outdoorsy look indoors. “I can rake leaves and get the ladies!” he quipped. Rob is wearing: Olive button-down, washed-twill workshirt, stone pants and leather belt by Carhartt; “Boston” shoes by Keen, dark brown with rubber tips.

OUTDOOR GEAR EXCHANGE Burlington In a store with tons of outdoor clothing and equipment, sales associate Heather Burgess managed to find a softly feminine yet comfortable outfit for Holly — loose enough for yoga but versatile enough for everyday wear. “It’s stylish and practical,” as Heather put it. And the clogs feel so good, she suggested, when Holly removes her biker boots, she’ll want to put these on. Holly is wearing: Light green Kimkai shirt by Kavu; black Borrego pant by Prana; green waterproof clogs by Sorel.

VON BARGEN’S Burlington Von Bargen’s specializes in custom designer jewelry; the pieces are unique, and associates Eric Perkins and Stasia Chalbeck said that, when making an investment in jewelry, it’s important to get something that the buyer will really wear. Deb was drawn to the jewelry by Alex Sepkus, an award-winning designer who uses unusual components and rare stones in his work. It doesn’t come cheap, but Stasia pointed out that many people pay $4 a day for coffee; if they redirected that money toward, say, a necklace, they could have an $11,000 piece in eight years — and have an heirloom piece for the rest of their lives. Deb is wearing: From the Alex Sepkus “Orchard” collection, a necklace, bracelet and earrings in 18k gold, with garnets, blue sapphires and diamonds.

Carrie Baker and Em Weatherall informed Emily that a knee-length skirt with Uggs is “very sexy for the fall.” Finding the right sporty clothes obviously depends on the activity, and Emily likes to do almost everything outdoorsy. But in the end she selected a yoga ensemble because it was so comfortable. As for footwear, Dansko shoes were recommended for every day because, as an aspiring teacher, Emily spends a lot of time on her feet. Emily is wearing (and meditating on): A blue-candy shell by Prana Impala; black yoga pants by Prana Ono; Gravis yoga mat; dragonfly day pack by Reign Vermont/Bridgets Widgets; pumpkin “Santa Cruz” slip-ons by Keen.

TRADEWINDS Burlington Town Center Emily was not accustomed to wearing jewelry, or if she did she would wear one necklace every day until it broke. Sheryl Haiduck suggested an amber theme to complement Emily’s coloring. The stone comes in three colors: green, white and the traditional gold. “Earrings with a little dangle with Emily’s short hair… she would look fantastic in anything from small strands of beads to huge pendants.” Haiduck said body type is important in determining the size of jewelry, but that people should wear what they like and are comfortable with. “I invite people to try on different looks for fun,” she said. “The image can change a lot with different pieces.” Emily is wearing: Banana & cognac amber and silver bracelet; banana & cognac amber, Tibetan turquoise and silver necklace handmade in Poland; lapis-and-silver ring handmade in Nepal; silver double hoops from Thailand.

SKI RACK Burlington For exercise, Deb likes to walk, ski and swim. For Ski Rack coowner Karen George and clothing buyer Carrie Tillinghast, the goal was to create a “sporty, functional and comfortable outfit for Deb to walk in.” Karen also advised that Deb always carry water to stay hydrated, and to consider walking with Nordic poles — “They burn 40 percent more fat and calories than regular walking, by engaging the upper body,” she said. Meanwhile, manager John Smith matched shoes to Deb’s feet — “I want feet happy,” he said. John’s general rule for buying sport shoes: “Keep about a thumbnail of looseness in front, and no slippage in the heel.” As for socks, stay away from cotton, which retain moisture; synthetic or wool keep feet cooler in summer and warmer in winter through their wicking ability. Deb is wearing: Black, loose-fitting tights in cotton by Patagonia Serenity; red, long-sleeved wicking mesh shirt by Adidas Response; white walking/running shoe by Adidas Supernova Control; navy Coolmax sock by Darn Tough Lite Mesh Sock; black hat (with Coolmax lining for wicking moisture) by Patagonia D’visor; waist pack with water-bottle holder by Ultimate Direction Serenade.

FORGET ME NOT SHOP Johnson Sales associate Abby French suggested Holly choose colors that work with her skin tone, recommending pastels. She also touted feminine shapes, even in casual clothes — “Darting on the side would cut in; that would be flattering,” Abby said. In the end her sage advice was: “Whatever you like is best.” Holly is wearing: A designer-label pink, three-quarter-sleeved chiffon shirt with lace and embroidery; designer-label black, straight-leg pant.

GRANNIS GALLERY Burlington Rob hadn’t thought much about jewelry, but Grannis co-owner Susan Hurd helped him see that a signature piece, such as a ring or a bracelet, can help him refine his personal style. She also taught him something about picking out jewelry for women — a nice touch, we think. But he’s on his own picking out a girlfriend. Rob is wearing: Unisex steel bracelet by Namu Cho; pendant with a 24k gold handmade chain, Brazilian Mamosa aquamarine point, diamonds and Tahitian pearl, by Timothy Grannis. Rob is contemplating: A pair of 18k gold and pearl chandelier earrings by Jacob Snow.

ECCO Burlington Manager Shannon Moody’s goal for Deb was to create an elegant evening look. Her advice for shopping for a dress was to just try things on. “It is impossible to gauge how a dress is going to fit until it’s on, so just go for it,” she said. Shannon recommended a simple dress that can be accessorized with different jewelry, handbags, shawls or scarves. Deb is wearing: Black, scoopneck evening gown by C.A.K.E.; black satin-and-rhinestone heels by Hype; lavender Thai silk wrap by Nusantara.

VERMONT TRADING COMPANY Montpelier Terri Hill suggested warm colors to complement Emily’s olive coloring, such as sweaters in green or plum shades for fall. To find a new look, “The best way is to just start trying things on,” Terri advised. “People should go with colors they like.” And one of the most important things, she added, is to find new looks that are comfortable. The store’s loose, roomy clothes made it challenging to find an outfit small enough for Emily’s petite frame, but we think the cropped, velvety blouse gave her a needed feminine look, and the pale purple accentuates those green eyes. Nice to be elegant and comfy. Emily is wearing: Purple burnt-velvet/rayon silk top by Sareet; black Tensel pants by Gerties; silver-plated resin bracelet by Nicogati; necklace by Baked Beads.

GRASS HARP Burlington Not surprisingly, Holly isn’t accustomed to wearing a lot of jewelry and didn’t know what to look for. Katie Baas, store manager, suggested she shouldn’t hesitate to “go for color and sparkle; you can do a lot with it.” She also recommended trying one strong piece, such as a bracelet — “It’s a really fun, sort of casual thing.” Holly is wearing: Dichroic glass earrings by Joy Oxley of Mineville, New York; dichroic glass pendant by Stellar Jewels of Littleton, Colorado; Rosemary silver bracelet by Kevin Rose of Burlington.

DAMSELS & PASEO Montpelier Damsels recently opened and carries a lot of funky, youthful clothing; there were plenty of options for Emily and the enthusiastic saleswomen could have dressed her all day. They collectively agreed Emily should wear warm colors, earth tones, purple, pink and black, and that form-fitting clothes, especially pants, best show off her trim figure. The brand Free People might appeal to Emily, they suggested, because the fabrics are soft and the styles are simple. Emily is wearing: From Damsels: Silk, maroon-and-white paisley poncho shirt by XOXO; dark-blue denim jeans by Paris Blues. From Paseo: Black leather slingbacks by Franco Sarto.

EXPRESSIONS Burlington Store owner Lorre Tucker’s goal for Deb was to “present a look for a professional woman with a casual elegance that is current and smart, to fit her life without being overdressed.” Deb has peach skin tones and dark brown hair, so Lorre suggested colors such as rust, apricot, persimmon and some greens. As it turned out, she also looks smashing in rich chocolate. Lorre’s advice, in general, for a functional professional wardrobe is to stick to simple elements — “Cover the basics with a few quality pieces.” She also looked for outfits to extend Deb’s torso and emphasize her long, trim leg line. Deb is wearing: Black-and-chocolate, reversible alpaca/wool hooded topper coat by Hillary Radley; tobacco cashmere high-neck sweater by Isda; chocolate pinstripe trouser by Fabrizio Gianni. >> 41A

GARB Burlington Owner Floery Mahoney recommended Holly try feminine pieces matched with casual: “Really comfy, but still stylish; a lot of designers are doing flowery shirts under a blazer.” For this biker babe, putting on a skirt was a big deal, but Holly seemed to enjoy the eclectic ensemble Floery put together — chic but unpretentious. She also recommended “a mixture of textures and prints with tall boots.” Holly is wearing: Gray/black herringbone fitted jacket and cotton floral-print camisole from Wyeth by Todd Magill; cranberry viscose skirt with yarn detail by Rozae Nichols; black wedge “Vol de Nuit” shoes by Emile Thoard.

ZUTANO ASHLEY FURNITURE HOMESTORE Burlington Emily is sharing a new apartment, so the only room she needed to furnish is her bedroom. Having moved a lot in recent years, she had little furniture and no pictures, wall decorations or… anything, really. She has eclectic tastes; she wanted a fun and funky look. Since her room is small, Ashley co-owner Carolle Bouchett suggested the space-saving option of a sleeper bed/sofa, or a bunk bed with the lower bed removed, making it act like a loft, with space to hang out underneath. “Finding stuff is like creating a wardrobe,” Carolle suggested. “Identify the biggest needs; those are what you should spend the most money on.” A good bed, for example, will last 15 to 20 years. “If designing a room on a restrictive budget,” Carolle added, “choose the pieces that will make the most impact for right now, and then find the things to fit in later.” Emily went for pieces that were functional, such as a bench and coffee table that both have storage, and a striking mirror to enhance vertical space. Emily (in her “before” clothes) is hanging out with: Matte Black Storage Table; Spider Lamp; wonderland Gold Mirror; black-and-red Warhol Carpet.

Montpelier Zutano co-owner Michael Belenky says the store’s “little velour collection” is really strong this year, and comes in “a huge array of really juicy colors.” A little mouse named Minzi comes with the velour line, which of course has many unisex options and can work with Zutano’s other variety of stripes and patterns. “They can be worn daily,” says Michael, “or put together in a funky, elegant way.” Ben is wearing: Racoon crewneck shirt, moss-colored plaid reversible pants and blue striped knit scarf; hooded nylon plush jacket in haze.

Northern Exposure Music preview: Sixtoo

H STORY

CASEY REA Sixtoo, with DJ Signify and Blockhead, Club Metronome, Burlington, Thursday, September 23.

alifax, Nova Scotia, is not commonly associated with urban music culture; in a city better known for hosting the earliest hockey game with rules back in 1850, it’s hard to imagine the denizens re-writing the hiphop rulebook. Yet somehow, it happened. Vaughn Robert Squire, a.k.a. Sixtoo, was one of the founders of Nova Scotia’s new music community. Somber, edgy hip-hop productions propelled his early career, rocketing him across North America. Rap music was his launch pad, but Sixtoo is no longer fueled by rhymes and beats alone. Now in his early thirties, he’s entered a much wider playing field. His largely instrumental music still sounds urban, but instead of rap, Sixtoo utilizes film noir moods and terse polyrhythms to underscore his worldview. Currently a Montréal resident, Sixtoo’s work reflects a deep understanding of texture and space that puts his albums on an

the road. Moving to Nova Scotia from Toronto at age 16 was a culture shock at first, but Sixtoo soon found his bearings. He believes Halifax’s relative isolation contributed to his unique take on hip-hop. “It was definitely a renegade scene up there,” he recalls of his mid-’90s stomping ground. Starting out, Sixtoo found the “few decent record shops” in Halifax provided ample wares during his rabid hunts for “dope wax.” But that changed as more kids caught on to spinning and sampling — soon everyone wanted a piece. What was once fresh became stale, and claustrophobia drove Nova Scotia’s hip-hop talent west to California. In 1999, Sixtoo joined the exodus. Canada’s transplanted MCs and beat-makers became the cornerstones of Anticon Records, a San Francisco collective that still defines neo-hop in the eyes of many fans.

Most of the music I see on TV or hear on radio, unfortunately, is not politically driven… There’s a strong movement towards a popular ignorance. SIXTOO

entirely different level than those of his contemporaries. His tunes might not make you want to dance, but they’re rooted enough to the rhythms of hip-hop that your head will still nod. Still, his most recent release, Chewing on Glass and Other Miracle Cures, is more Miles Davis than 50-Cent. With a huge nod to ’70s “krautrock” pioneers Can, his music weaves experimental avant-garde into propulsive, street-smart frameworks. Jazzy drum breaks and hazy electric piano lead the listener through labyrinths of sound, where alleyway grime meets the sheen of polished chrome. It’s a jazzy, psych-rock record created by a hip-hop producer. His show at Club Metronome this Thursday promises an evening of musical crossbreeding, featuring live instrumentation alongside Sixtoo’s trusty sampler. Skateboarding and punk rock were Sixtoo’s first obsessions, but when he fell in with Nova Scotian hip-hoppers DJ Moves and Buck 65, his musical path began to emerge. “These guys taught me about beats, looking for records and sampling,” he says in a phone interview from

But the good times and community vibe didn’t last; in eight months Sixtoo burned out on Cali. The Anticon collective centers around a handful of MCs — almost exclusively white — whose pointedly confessional rhymes are hardly gangsta. Allen Ginsburg and his Beat-poet pals provide a much better analogy. Rapid-fire, free-form lyrics are a staple of the style, as well as a do-it-yourself, anything-goes recording ethos. “When we started we were tired of doing the same shit,” Sixtoo says of the crew’s stream-of-consciousness rhymes and unconventional beats. “But anything that I wanted to contribute to that scene is done.” According to Sixtoo, the genre’s increasing popularity stymied musical progress. “A lot of people that listen to that genre of music are closed-minded,” he explains. Even with pretenses to revolution, the Anticon style has become yet another cultural identity badge sported by a new breed of cliquish suburban kids. The audience is fiercely loyal but resistant to change. “There’s a lot of elitism and things that I don’t agree with in the movement, and that’s why I’ve chosen to disas-

sociate myself from it,” says Sixtoo. Dropping further away from the collective, his palette expanded while his music grew more personal. Once again it was time to move on. Heading back to Halifax did little to calm his restlessness — he found nearly the same musical landscape he’d left behind. Financial hard times and a growing sense of isolation kept Sixtoo from recording for half a year. Arts grants and a donation from a music biz philanthropist finally allowed him to complete Duration, released in 2000. Although he was still creating much of his music from vinyl samples, he began to experiment with manipulating sounds recorded with musician friends. Filled with a sense of foreboding and paranoia, the album’s radical new direction attracted the attention of revered Montréal electronic label Ninja Tune. Sixtoo has found renewed inspiration since moving there in 2002. “I feel that there’s really exciting musical stuff going on up there right now,” he says of his adopted metropolis. “There’s a lot of exciting rock stuff going on, as well as movements in minimal techno and electronic.” The free-form exchange of ideas that he initially experienced in Halifax is even more prominent in Montréal. Home to ever-evolving post-rock collectives such as Godspeed! You Black Emperor, the city seems to foster musical collaboration. Since his samples are increasingly culled from live performances,

Sixtoo now has plenty of fresh sounds to re-configure. Godspeed! Cellist Norsola Johnson and Canadian multiinstrumentalist Matt Kelly have provided grist for his mill. And the stimulation isn’t just aural. “There’s a really vibrant arts community and a strong independent film community here as well. There’s a lot of visual arts stuff I find exciting,” Sixtoo describes. “Montréal really has a European flavor.” Flavor abounds on his new disc as well: It’s a reflective and sometimes harrowing travelogue through shifting urban soundscapes. Moody drum shuffles smash headlong into kaleidoscopic psychedelia, yet this modern collage doesn’t sound hacked-up or digitally sterile. “I prefer analog recording first and foremost,” Sixtoo explains. “I use computers only for editing, not for recording. I don’t like the sound of them — it’s like putting gauze over your food or something. To me there is a difference, if you have a feel.” Collaborating with Can frontman Damo Suzuki on the new album brought Sixtoo face to face with his idol. “For me it starts and ends with Can,” he says. What was it like in the presence of an avant-garde authority? “It was really humbling,” Sixtoo admits, “just seeing how professional he was — it’s amazing.” The Toronto session was completely improvised, with Suzuki doing multiple vocal takes until he felt he had gotten his musical point across.

The legend then treated the young producer to frog legs. Hip-hop is a potent form of protest music, with the role of raconteur generally going to the MC. With instrumental music, a producer’s political motivations are harder to discern. That doesn’t mean that the spirit isn’t there — just listen to any number of postHolocaust classical composers. Sixtoo believes his attitude can be felt in his music even without lyrics. “I think general moods and sentiments [in music] are always going to reflect the environment you live in,” Sixtoo says. “People always say that my music’s dark… But we’re living in really, really fucked-up times, whether people acknowledge it or just keep driving around in their SUVs and talking on their cell phones.” Targeting an entertainment culture that provides only escapism while lining the pockets of the obscenely wealthy, Sixtoo continues: “Most of the music I see on TV or hear on radio, unfortunately, is not politically driven… There’s a strong movement towards a popular ignorance.” A passion for progression has guided Sixtoo through many creative seasons in his 30-odd years, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Just don’t expect him to churn out the same old sounds. “If I can turn some kids on to other things, that’d be fucking awesome,” says Sixtoo. “But music for me is a very selfish thing — first and foremost it’s for myself.” 쩾

GOOD BAD GIRL :: Since moving to the city from Arkansas 12 years ago, New York City chanteuse

Amy Miles has

been a waitress, a nanny and a cage dancer — experiences that informed her darkly humorous tunes. Miles’ new disc Noble Hatch centers around a “bad boy” she crushed on back in eighth grade; her cover of the Beach Boys’ “Girl Don’t Tell Me” puts a disturbing twist on the classic tune. Miles plays twice this week: Wednesday the 22nd at Nectar’s — wedged between jam-bands U-Melt and Stefan Couture’s & The Campfire Orchestra — and an early show this Thursday at Radio Bean.

isn’t enough to describe the hauntingly cap-

Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter. With a tivating music of

style that’s both impassioned and subdued, the band sounds like vintage Neil Young with a head full of painkillers. Sykes’ strong yet vulnerable voice has drawn comparisons to Cat Power and Emmylou Harris, and her uncompromising lyrics steer Americana into previously uncharted waters. Check them out this Tuesday at Club Metronome. Local cowboy Brett Hughes opens.

BY CASEY REA

ESPRESSO & SELF-EXPRESSION These days, folks have a lot to get off their chests. While some might find throwing things at the TV a great release, CCV’s Underground Coffeehouse provides a forum for making a more creative statement. Not just another open mike, the event brings writers, visual artists and filmmakers together with their musical brethren. The gathering takes place the last Friday of every month and is hosted by guitarist & CCV student Andy Lugo. His band Second Agenda kicks the night off with a performance at 8 p.m. Everyone who comes is encouraged to get involved; if you’re not performing or showing works, you can leave a mark via the Coffehouse Art Wall. According to CCV Performing Arts Coordinator Jody Albright, no creative voice is unimportant. “It’s truly an event for the community and for all artists,” she says.

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT In Burlington’s live music playground, it’s no fun to be under 21. While all-ages shows occasionally occur, they’re usually early slots that feel more like after-school programs than full-on rock fests. With an eye on the new batch of students, Nectar’s is easing into becoming an 18+ venue —at least on Mondays. “We can’t have 250 kids in there and do no bar sales,” says “Talent Buyer” Alex Chaykin, “but we really want to get more college kids into the club.” Upcoming shows featuring heavyweights Critters Buggin’ and KRS-One seem like a beginning for the experiment.

FINER FOLK

Will drinks still be served to older patrons? Yes, says co-owner Chris Walsh, but that’s not real-

Adversity hasn’t stopped singer-songwriter Rachel Bissex from finding strength and hope in life’s details. After recovering from major health issues and celebrating her son’s return from Army service in Baghdad, Bissex did what came naturally — she recorded a new album. Her fifth release, In White Light, is the first to include arrangements for string quartet and orchestra. A song from the disc was recently featured in Vermont filmmaker Nora Jacobson’s latest — Bissex even snagged a role in the production. How does the folk singer, mother and actress feel about her expanding horizons? “Overwhelmed — with lots of possibilities,” she says. Bissex plans more touring and will even direct a play in November; her release party for In White Light is this Friday at 135 Pearl.

M

ly the point. “I think it’s very important to do this even if we lose bar sales,” he says. “College kids are creatures of habit, and we want to develop our future clientele.” The logistics can be tricky — kids, be prepared to wear those stigmatizing bracelets — but Nectar’s is willing to give it a shot. Says Walsh: “Let’s do one night a week as a litmus test and see what happens.”

SELL ’EM IF YA GOT ’EM Got a playable instrument in your home that taunts you each time you stumble over it? We all know the story — you wanted to learn how to play Flügelhorn, but somehow never found the time. Well, this Saturday and Sunday at the Montpelier High School cafeteria, you can rid yourself of the shame and earn a little spare cash. The Onion River Arts Council’s ninth annual Used Musical Instrument Sale aims to make the separation as painless as possible; appraisers will be on hand between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Friday to help determine pricing. Sheet music and accessories may be dropped off as well. So if you want to unload grandma’s Gershwin, now’s the per-

reviewthis EMBER SWIFT, DISARMING

VINYL, ALL THE WAY LIVE

(Few’ll Ignite Sound, CD)

(Pocket Records, CD)

These days, bands under the “jam band” umbrella tour heavily and inevitably put out a number of live releases. Some are sloppy and poorly produced, while others serve as an aural snapshot of a band’s life on the road. All the Way Live finds San Francisco’s Vinyl captured in one of these moments. This double-live album documents the band’s two sold-out nights at the Great American Music Hall in their hometown. The title implies a sonic trip to the edge with nothing left in the reserves, but something keeps their performances from going “all the way.” This is still a fun set to listen to, though. Vinyl recruited a handful of guest musicians to join the fray, many of them veterans of the Bay Area and national jam scene. Heavy hitters Rob Wasserman, P-Funk’s Bernie Worrell and even ’80s bar-rock crooner Huey Lewis make appearances. Vinyl wrap themselves around a number of musical styles over the course of the album, and none for too long. They jump from Earth, Wind & Fire-style funk and oldschool ska to Latin grooves that would make Tito Puente proud. As an instrumental band, Vinyl are guided by their percussion and horn sections. Some of the grooves run a little long, but, just as they begin to bog down, the brass and drums snap ’em out of it. The band sounds great on the ska-tinged tunes, “Things I Could Do” and “Mokpok.” Worrell contributes some serious Parliament-meets-the-Meters funk on the excellent “Moonshine Heather.” Lewis adds some harmonica to “Skumbo,” and at one point the group brings in a few guest vocalists. The singers are the low point of the album, but MCs Soulati and D Wolf raise the bar — their contributions are like bringing Jurassic 5, Ozomatli and Tower of Power together, though far too briefly. What is it that keeps this really good live album from being great? Perhaps it’s the lack of a beer garden in the listener’s den. Live music is about being part of the party — so don’t miss your chance when Vinyl hit Nectar’s this Sunday.

JAKE RUTTER

It’s all too easy to compare Toronto singer-songwriter Ember Swift to another independently minded progressive folkie. Like Ani DiFranco, Swift’s in-your-face political commentary is accompanied by Spartan, acoustic guitar riffs and sprightly, turn-on-a-dime-rhythms. In fact, so many similarities abound to the matron of modern fem-folk that DiFranco ought to get a cut of the royalties. Despite a shared musical approach, business model and funky hairstyle, Ember Swift’s cultural commentary and odbball pop sensibility sometimes achieves distinction. The dusky, shifting melodies of the track “Boise” owe as much to the bohemian shadow-jazz of Pirates-era Rickie Lee Jones as to DiFranco. Tribal tom rolls and vibrant background vocals give this tune a uniqueness that fails to materialize elsewhere on the disc. The lyrical dexterity that accompanies Swift’s vocal style soon becomes more invasive than clever; her densely packed wordplay reads better than it actually sounds. A great deal of effort surely went into her precise delivery, but unfortunately at the expense of emotional conviction. “We haven’t outgrown our history yet,” Ember sings on the politically charged “Sucker-Punched,” “Here we are, still a perfect fit in that blue pin-striped suit with blood and oil stains all over it.” Strong sentiment and imagery, but her message gets buried under tacky, spoken-word passages and funk-by-numbers instrumental backing. This sermonizing on geo-political injustices never really hits a nerve — partly because of the irritating package it’s bound in. “14 and Fiery” fares far better, probably because Swift’s lyrics appropriately match her passionate vocals. The understated, bluesy accompaniment doesn’t interfere as Swift takes shots at seedy record company execs that manufacture teen pop starlets. The subject needed to be addressed, and Swift is a decent mouthpiece. “They only need a few ingredients for that sticky, sweet recipe of success,” she vents. They are relentless, she is precarious… We’ve got to hold her from the snakes.” It’s potent stuff, and highlights Swift’s talents while avoiding the pitfalls of overeffort. A musical partnership with multi-instrumentalist Lyndell Montgomery ensures that Disarming has more musical weight than your typical strum-and-sing folk affair. Yet quality control is desperately lacking. In order to grow beyond her influences and create something lasting, Swift needs to rein in her ambitions, slow the pace and concentrate on her own strengths. She plays two shows in Vermont — Friday the 24th at the Eclipse Theater, and 135 Pearl on October 1.

BY MARC AWODEY <exhibitions>

CALL TO ARTISTS Studio Place Arts in Barre is seeking artists to participate in its fifth annual members’ show — a three-level event geared toward the giving season. Deadline October 15. Info, 479-7069.

OPENINGS SEAN DYE & MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM:

Art-chitects

F EXHIBIT “AXA: Architects by art, art by architects,” a group exhibit. Flynndog, Burlington. Through October.

ARTWORK “Taper with Counter Weight” Alisa Dworsky

PHOTO Marc Awodey

orty years ago, esteemed American architect Philip Johnson told The New York Times, “Architecture is the art of how to waste space.” Now 98, Johnson is still known for saying outrageous things. If his statement on art and architecture was meaningful, it’s fortunate that the new Flynndog exhibition, entitled “AXA: Architects by art, art by architects,” is not exactly an “architecture” show. Only a few of the pieces directly reference the erection of buildings. New Firehouse curator C. Sean Horton is responsible for this exhibition — his first Burlington show is not in his own gallery. His curatorial decisions are laudable; represented here are more than 15 area architects who work in a variety of media. Lee Grutchfield’s “Materials Study” is a wall sculpture, about 6 by 3 feet, composed of industrial materials. Grids of wood and wire support a sheet of corrugated steel, which is inset within a stainless-steel rectangle. The corrugated steel is placed in the upper right of the interior space and prevents the piece from being static. Though Grutchfield’s work is made up of architectural materials, it is primarily sculptural. “Taper with Counter Weight” by Alisa Dworsky is a tour de force of crocheting. It consists of two bright-yellow forms of differing crocheted mass-

es hanging from the ceiling. The “taper” part is a large, conical shape with its base spread out on the floor, while the “counter weight” is smaller and suspended. The tug of gravity on Dworsky’s dozens of square feet of crocheting creates gracefully curved outlines for the two forms. Steve Schenker’s oil-on-wood painting “#002” is a 6-by-8-foot abstraction made up of interlocking rectangular shapes with soft edges. The painting is very textural, and its hues are muted reds and greens over a foundation of grays. It has an organic feel, like an old stone wall in the woods. Photography is the most prevalent medium in the exhibition, with about 25 pictures. Twelve of them are from the “Providence Pinholes” series by Lauren Davis. Her works are small, sepia-toned city shots taken with a pinhole camera and hung in a straight line. Most of the other photographs in the show are more colorful; two of the other photographer-architects are working with C-prints. Tom Cullins’ “Fabric” and “Stadium Steps” were taken in Greece and, like many of the works in this exhibit, are highly geometric. One of Daniel Doz’s C-prints, “Cross and Flowers,” has a V shape to its high horizon line, separating a brilliant blue sky and a snowy field. A cross-shaped

headstone is at the horizon edge, balanced by a cluster of trees in the right side of the composition. John Connell’s 24 drawings, collectively entitled “Jury Dreams,” were inspired by his Yestermorrow Design/ Build School, a creative architecture program based in Warren. Connell’s fanciful houses are like a cross between the cartoons of James Thurber and Dr. Seuss. One is a geodesic dome turned into a smiling dinosaur. Another has a vacuum cleaner attachment. Robert Mantho and Michael Wenrich are showing photos of some impractical architecture that was actually built: the site-specific installation “Hurricane Ridge: Corinth, VT.” The structure is as sculptural as it is architectonic, and is reminiscent of the earthcentered works of contemporary artist Alice Aycock. Mantho and Wenrich’s structure is built of positive and negative rectangular forms that create a floored structure around the trunk of a tree. Considering that Philip Johnson lives in a glass house — his primary residence is his 1949 see-through masterpiece in New Canaan, Connecticut — it’s surprising that he threw a little metaphorical stone with his art-andarchitecture statement 15 years later. The artists and architects of “AXA” are definitely not wasting much Flynndog space. m

BOB’S VIEW The late photographer Robert Campbell had a knack for being in the right place at the right time — that is, the 1960s in New York City. That’s where Campbell captured intimate portraits of the leading jazz and blues musicians of the era and their haunts, among other evocative shots. When he died last year in Burlington, his small apartment was filled with his black-and-white vintage treasures. Several of those works are currently on display at Truex Cullins & Partners architecture firm on Battery Street.

Wimbledon ★★★★

A ALL YOU NEED IS LOB Bettany plays a faded star who makes a comeback after meeting his perfect match.

t this point in history, Great Britain’s most notable contribution to popular culture would appear to be the quirky yet uplifting romantic comedy. A network of writers, actors and directors has built an industry out of them, rolling out Four Weddings and a Funeral a decade ago and following that with Notting Hill, About a Boy, Bridget Jones’s Diary and Love, Actually. All these films adhered to a successful formula, the ingredients of which until now have included unlikely love connections, snappier-than-average dialogue, supporting ensembles of colorful, slightly offbeat characters, and Hugh Grant. Wimbledon is the first in this product line to feature another twinkly-eyed Englishman in Grant’s place, and the result is to some extent analogous to the substitution of NutraSweet for sugar in Diet Coke. Paul Bettany is cheeky, sweet and charming, but the end result, while satisfying, is a picture one might quite fairly describe as Notting Hill Lite. The actor plays an affable tennis pro whose ranking has slipped from an all-time high of 11th to 119th in the world. Though just past 30, he’s convinced his best days on the court are behind him. He intends to hang up his racquet, in terms of competitive play, following his wild-card outing at Wimbledon. He has so little chance of winning this contest that his own brother bets against him. Not that anyone in the family needs the money. Bettany’s character drives a vintage Porsche, keeps a London flat and is close to his extremely wealthy, extremely eccentric parents, who reside in a country estate worthy of rock royalty. That is, when his father (Bernard Hill) isn’t residing in a backyard treehouse after a spat with Bettany’s mother (Eleanor Bron). Kirsten Dunst assumes a role recurrent in these movies, that of the American who wins the heart of the Brit. In contrast to Bettany, Dunst is a brash young player whose star is decidedly on the rise. She’s also self-assured and sexually forward to a degree rarely seen in pictures outside the Fatal Attraction-style, crazy-stranger mold. When their paths cross, apparently by accident, the American suggests forming a coalition. Enthusiastic cooperation on the part of the Brit ensues as usual. The template for Wimbledon is taken from Barry Levinson’s The Natural. As in that 1984 classic, a has-been battles his way back thanks to the twin blessings of athletic prowess and romantic love. The similarity between the two stories is con-

siderable, down to such details as the special relationship Bettany shares with his ball boy. It’s the mirror image of the one Redford enjoyed with his bat boy. The final act and coda of the two films strike almost exactly the same note. Of course, the tale is updated to our media-savvy times and relocated to the land of Bridget Jones. The press quickly makes front-page news of the photogenic pair, and Bettany’s dark-horse rise through the ranks captures the imagination of the entire country. Though it plays host to the world’s greatest tennis tournament, in reality England hasn’t seen one of its own win it in more than 60 years. There isn’t a moment in the movie when it’s not perfectly clear where everything, from the main story line to the most marginal subplot, is headed. At the same time, there isn’t a moment when that predictability makes any of it less entertaining. Bettany’s such a fine, resourceful actor he handily shapes a stick figure into an endearing character, giving viewers more than ample reason to care whether he will wind up with the trophy and the girl. Dunst has the smaller part of the two, but adds another smartly crafted characterization to her resumé. You aren’t likely to see a film with more warmth and good humor anytime soon, or one that does more to give feel-good filmmaking a good name. I always leave these movies with the sense that they were made by the last surviving non-cynics in the business. The milk of human kindness should be on the concession menu next to the Pepsi and popcorn more often. While the script is a rewrite or three from the standard set by Four Weddings and About a Boy, the movie does feature some of the most thrilling and artfully choreographed contests ever put on film. Director Richard Loncraine has reset the bar here, though not exactly in the way the majority of reviewers has reported. Fun fact of the week: While it’s true that both stars trained for months and played their own games, and that the matches are brilliantly edited, here’s the thing: Sure, that’s really Bettany and Dunst racing, diving and swinging away; it’s the tennis balls that aren’t real! CGIs were used to make sure they hit their mark. The actors just had to look good pretending to hit them. Even if you go knowing this, you probably won’t notice. Wimbledon is such a winning picture, you’ll be too busy being charmed, amused and moved to keep your eyes on the ball. m

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR★★★ Monsters from two movies meet on Earth and go to the mat in the latest from writer-director Paul W. S. Anderson. The cast includes Raoul Bova, Ewen Bremmer and Tommy Flanagan. (87 min, PG-13) ANACONDAS: THE HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID★★ It’s official: Hollywood will make a sequel of anything at this point. For example, this follow-up to the 1997 flop about a giant jungle snake. This time around, a party in search of a miracle aging cure encounters, you guessed it, multiple giant jungle snakes. With Johnny Messner and Morris Chestnut. (89 min, R) BATTLE OF ALGIERS★★★★1/2 Now in rerelease, director Gillo Pontecorvo’s 1965 pseudo-documentary offers a powerful portrait of the conflict between Algerian citizens and their French “protectors,” a situation which, in retrospect, has more than a few parallels to the U.S.’s involvement in Vietnam. (125 min, NR) CELLULAR★★1/2 From the guy who gave us Phone Booth comes the similar-sounding saga of a fellow who answers his cell phone one day to find on the line a stranger who says she’ll be killed if he doesn’t locate her quickly. Kim Basinger and William H. Macy costar. David Ellis directs. (94 min, PG-13) COLLATERAL★★★1/2 If there’s one thing Michael Mann knows, it’s bad guys. He’s the director who introduced us to Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox in Manhunter). Tom Cruise probably won’t be dining on his victims in the director’s latest, but he’ll be racking them up as a contract killer on the town for a night of paid mayhem. With Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. (120 min, R) DODGEBALL★★1/2 On the heels of Along Came Polly, Starsky and Hutch and Envy, along comes Ben Stiller’s comic saga about a team of losers who try to save their local gym from being bulldozed and replaced by a modern sports-and-fitness palace. Naturally, the issue winds up getting resolved by an all-or-nothing round of dodgeball. Vince Vaughn and Justin Long costar. First-timer Rawson Marshall Thurber writes and directs. (90 min, PG-13)

RATINGS ★ = refund, please ★★ = could’ve been worse, but not a lot ★★★ = has its moments; so-so ★★★★ = smarter than the average bear ★★★★★ = as good as it gets Ratings assigned to movies not reviewed by Rick Kisonak are courtesy of Metacritic.com, which averages scores given by the country’s most widely read reviewers (Rick included).

VELVETY CARROT SOUP

ROASTED PEARS

The creamiest carrot soup!

Excellent for so many things! Great in fall salads, using bitter greens like arugula, toasted walnuts, and a simple vinaigrette. Desserts like vanilla ice cream or a spice cake move up a notch when you top them with roasted pears.

2 C broth (veggie or chicken) 8 med carrots sliced 4 med onions sliced 1 C basmati rice cooked 1 1/2 C half & half 4 T butter

4 firm Anjou or Bartlett pears (about 2 pounds, peeled and halved lengthwise) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons sugar

Saute onion in butter until golden. Add carrots, toss and coat with butter. Add broth, bring to boil, simmer covered until soft. Blend with rice, half and half, salt & pepper plus a dash of cayenne. Fabulous addition: a small swirl of crème fraiche in each bowl.

Che c

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, place baking sheet on rack to preheat, and heat oven to 500 degrees. 2. With paring knife or melon baller, remove core of pear halves. Set each half cut-side down and slice lengthwise into fifths. 3. Toss pears with butter; add sugar and toss again to combine. Spread pears in single layer on preheated baking sheet, making sure each slice lies flat on surface. Roast until browned on bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip each slice and roast until tender and deep golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Let pears cool.

FRIDAY 24

JELI JAM In West Africa, a jeli is an oral historian who preserves his peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consciousness of the past through music. Mamadou Diabate holds this traditional title, yet simultaneously sounds out ways to add jazz and blues innovations through collaborations with American artists. The Mali-born composer and storyteller showcases this infusion of past and present along with an ensemble of other singers and musicians playing the stringed kora, the wooden xylophone-like balafon, and the ngoni, an ancestor of the banjo. When this group uses modern modes to shares stories from long ago, the ancient instruments sound like they were invented yesterday.

MAMADOU DIABATE Friday, September 24, Concert Hall, Middlebury College Center for the Arts, 8 p.m. $12. Info, 443-6433.

scene@INTERNATIONAL â&#x20AC;&#x153;TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAYâ&#x20AC;? WATERBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 10 A.M.

When John Baur and Mark Summers coined â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk Like A Pirate Dayâ&#x20AC;? in 1995, it was a joke between friends. But when the duo told humorist Dave Barry, they soon discovered that almost everyone secretly wants to talk like a pirate. Barry published a syndicated column encouraging people to celebrate the whimsical holiday, and the ide-arrrr spread as far as New Zealand, Antarctica and Waterbury, Vermont. To commemorate International â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk Like a Pirate Dayâ&#x20AC;? 2004, the Waterbury librarians invited students in grades K-4 in to make treasure maps and learn swashbuckler sayings. Five kids, closer to the K than the 4, showed up in their buccaneering best. Librarian Dawn Fairbanks, whose head was wrapped in a yellow bandana, read aloud from some pirate books for children. The sheer number of titles is surprising, given that pretty much everybody agrees that pirates are not suitable role models. Sure, some of them were misunderstood, maligned rebels, but plenty of pirates stole stuff, murdered people, and drank copious amounts of rum. Still, several childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s titles were on display at the library, including Bloody Jack, Howard Pyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book of Pirates, and the audio version of William Goldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satirical classic, The Princess Bride, starring the infamous Dread Pirate Roberts. Before she began reading Edward and the Pirates, Fairbanks introduced herself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Dread Pirate Librarian.â&#x20AC;? She told the kids that she knew the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A very fine pirate,â&#x20AC;? she growled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met him many a time on the high seas.â&#x20AC;? After sitting still through readings of three pirate books, the kids learned how to talk like pirates with the elaborately costumed Jo Lynn Ostler. They practiced phrases like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ahoy matey,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weigh anchor ye barnacle-encrusted bucko,â&#x20AC;? and my personal favorite â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swab the deck ye kelp-eating bilge rat.â&#x20AC;? Afterwards they settled in with bags of Capâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Crunch to watch The Muppets Treasure Island, but not before one little boy picked up a plastic sword and made a few thrusts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No fighting,â&#x20AC;? his grandmother scolded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a place for being rowdy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a library.â&#x20AC;? CATHY RESMER

These six young Poles banded together in 1997 in response to the proliferation of mass-culture music. After researching the unique melodies of their heritage by interviewing old musicians in small villages, their radical return to Polish folk has amazed audiences, who revel in their repertoire of dance tunes, ballads and rural songs. The band brings together voice and violin, dulcimer, drums and the suka, a 16th-century Polish fiddle, to produce surging, exuberant noise that’s a surprising combination of old and cutting-edge. Concert-goers won’t hear any hip-hop, but might just catch the traditional Polish phrase meaning “Let’s dance!”: Hip-hopsasa!

NATION STATE In the past several years, the U.S. has assumed an unprecedented role on the world stage. Military engagements in multiple locations and an expanding economic agenda have made us susceptible to charges of imperialism. In a talk titled “An Empire of Liberty?”, prominent foreign-affairs expert and Newsweek International editor Fareed Zakaria considers whether our understanding of freedom can be justly imposed on other countries. Thomas Jefferson delighted in the idea of liberty conquering the world, but perhaps winning hearts and minds beats military might.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I‘m a 42-year-old guy who “took the plunge” just four short years ago, getting married for the first time at age 38. Since then, however, I have had a couple of sexual experiences with men and find that I can’t give enough fellatio! I’ve also experimented with “bottoming” with a female acquaintance and her strap-on, and am considering seeking a “full” experience with a man in the future. This is completely unlike anything I’ve ever contemplated before, but I find my desires to be overwhelming. Can you offer any advice? Boy Toy in Burlington Dear Boy Toy, Where is your wife in all this? Is she OK with it? Does she even know what you’re up to? How would she feel about wearing the strap-on? If this is all out in the open and meets spousal approval, my advice is: Use lubricant and a condom. If not, you two need to talk, and probably get some marriage counseling. “Taking the plunge” usually means curtailing your desires for other partners, of either gender. If your homoerotic hankerings outweigh your willingness to confine yourself to your spouse, you’re both better off divorced. Love, Lola

free will astrology RE AL an effort to make a splash in America’s upcoming presidential election, marginal candidate Ralph Nader has resorted to unusual measures. Among the most extreme has been his decision to accept money and help from the Republican Party, even though he opposes every value that organization holds dear. In the state of Michigan, for example, Nader wouldn’t have gotten on the ballot without the heroic assistance of the Republicans, who collected 43,000 signatures for him in the hope that he’ll drain votes from the Democratic nominee, John Kerry. I predict that you Aries people will have equally Machiavellian opportunities in the coming weeks. You may even be tempted to turn to your adversaries to further your dreams. Can you manipulate them to serve you more than they manipulate you to serve them?

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Your superstitious fears may nag you more than usual in the coming weeks. That’s the bad news. The good news is that it’s highly unlikely the feared events will actually come to pass. To help dispel your unnecessary worries, I suggest you dream up and carry out a banishing ritual. For example, you could write down what you’re afraid of, and then burn the piece of paper in the flame of a red candle as you cackle and chant, “You have no [insert an energizing taboo word here] power over me!”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’m not afraid of snakes or spiders,” says Gemini actress Nicole Kidman, “just butterflies.” According to my astrological analysis, that could be an apt motto for many of you Geminis in the coming weeks. You’ll probably love

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): In

| SEVEN DAYS |

your playful wrestles with serpent-like people and enjoy your shadow dances with web-weavers. You’ll thrive in the wake of intense emotions and enigmatic twists of fate. On the other hand, you’ll be in danger of losing your focus during airy encounters with delicate creatures; you’ll have to be vigilant to avoid getting thrown off course by pretty ephemera and lightweight pleasures.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): One of the best-selling books in France in recent months has been Bonjour Paresse, or Hello Laziness. The author, Corinne Maier, encourages employees to perfect the art of goofing off on the job. In the coming week, Cancerian, you should follow her advice not only at work but in every area of your life. I admire you for being so conscientious and putting so much effort into everything you do, but you’re way overdue for some major slacking off. I’ll go so far as to say that you have a spiritual need to vegetate. This is one time when you’ll get my blessing if you decide to sit in a comfortable chair and daydream of nothing in particular as you watch the wind blow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Guinness Book of World Records says the shortest river in the world is the Roe River in Montana. Measuring about 220 feet long, it flows into the Missouri River, America’s secondlongest river. The Roe River’s source is the Great Springs, which is the largest fresh-water spring in the U.S. It’s 3000 years old, stays a constant 54 degrees, and pours out 200 million gallons of water per day. I’d like you to picture this entire scene in your mind’s eye, Leo — the Roe River, the Missouri River and the Great Springs. It provides a symbolic template for what

Healing Happens Within f Acupuncture f Massage f Herbs f Kung Fu f Qi Gong f Tai Chi 62 Pearl Street, Essex Junction, VT 05452 802-288-8160 www.elementsofhealing.net

your approach should be in the coming weeks. You should be a short and concise connecting link between an underground source of abundant vitality and a free-flowing force of nature that reminds you of a mighty river.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived,” wrote author Anna Louise Strong. Right about now, Virgo, you could probably speak those same words with sincerity. For months you’ve felt as if an invisible force were shepherding you towards an unseen goal. You’ve trusted the process because it resonated with a gut feeling that kept telling you “Yes!” And now, finally, you’re about to come to the end of the quest and collect your reward. Keep in mind, though, that even after you have it, you may not fully understand it for months.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During last year’s monsoon season in Sri Lanka, floods caused landslides in and around Ratnapura, the “City of Gems.” As devastating as this natural disaster was, it dredged up many raw gems from their hiding places deep in the earth. After the heavy rains stopped, sapphires and rubies were strewn across the landscape for any passer-by to pick up. I foresee an analogous sequence operating in your life, Libra. The deluge will expose valuable beauty, making it easy to pluck.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you stick your finger in the fire,” asked my teacher Ann Davies, “do you then complain that it is unfair when your finger gets burned? Do you call the fire bad?” I think her questions are essential for you to keep in mind

between now and your birthday, Scorpio. If you consciously decide there are good, even honorable reasons for you to play with fire, go right ahead and do so. But if there’s a bit of hell to pay as a result, don’t you dare get pissed at the universe or diss God. And please don’t say the fire is evil.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, business writer David Lazarus reported that the senior managers of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company gave themselves $169 million in bonuses “for doing such a good job during the utility’s bankruptcy proceedings.” With the authority vested in me by the cosmic powers-that-be, I hereby authorize you to shower yourself with an equivalent barrage of blessings for all the hard work you’ve done during the last 10 months. And please don’t be shy about imitating the example of the PG&E chiefs: Reward yourself handsomely even if you’ve accomplished little more than saving your own ass.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): “I produce music as an apple tree produces apples,” proclaimed the French pianist and composer Camille Saint-Saens. Your assignment in the coming week, Capricorn, is to do the research and meditation necessary so you can accurately complete the following sentence: “I produce ______ as an apple tree produces apples.” You need to know beyond any doubt what precise gift you were born to give the world; you cannot move on to the next phase of your evolution until you are utterly clear about what nature yearns to create through you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Bill Joy is a farseeing computer scientist who developed many technologies for Sun Microsystems, an influential company he co-founded. You Aquarians are now entering into a “Bill Joy” phase of your astrological cycle, a time when you’re most likely to be expansive, pioneering and innovative. Here’s Joy’s important message for you about what not to do. “My own biggest mistake in the last 20 years was that I designed solutions for problems that people didn’t yet know they had,” he told Fortune magazine. “That’s why some of the things that could’ve made a difference couldn’t find a market. The hardest part isn’t inventing the solution, but figuring out how to get people to adopt it.” Translation: As you dream up fresh approaches and imaginative departures, make sure you communicate about them with enthusiastic clarity to the people they’ll affect most.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Many of the poets I like are mavericks, visionaries and prophets, and more than a few belong to what poet Ann Waldman calls the “outrider tradition.” But since it would be unpoetic to have a closed mind towards more traditional stuff, I’ve been reading America’s new Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser. A retired vice president of a life insurance company in Nebraska, he enjoys yard sales and pork roast. Surprisingly, though, his poetry reveals a wild streak. It’s not expressed in descriptions of reckless love affairs and manic excursions to the frontiers of sanity, but in a humble wisdom forged through his brave, unsentimental tenderness. That’s the kind of wildness I wish for you in the coming weeks, Pisces: the crafty, loving, constructive kind.
