HEALTH CARES Recently I tried to have a discus­ sion with Governor Jim Douglas about providing health care to all Vermonters, a subject I care deeply about. We know that we could save money by doing so and that a host o f other problems would also be solved. His answer to me was that we needed more competition in the health insurance industry. I ask you: D o you really want profit motivations making your health care decisions for you, or do you want compassionate care based on what is medically necessary for your situation?

My second question is to Governor Douglas: How have you enjoyed your government-paid-for health insurance for most o f your working life? Or have you opted to go with the competitive model and purchased private insurance while eschewing the care provided to you by the taxpayers? You need to answer this question, Governor Douglas, in order for your argu­ ment to carry any weight.

The solution is easy, but for some reason it has not been made into a requirement. The machines should be required to issue a receipt to all voters. For the sake o f our democracy we should insist that Congress require all states to create a paper trail we can trust.

MORE MOORES In response to the letter from Alan Moore, Jericho, in your last issue regarding Peter Freyne’s stance on Howard Dean in his column “Inside Track” [“Letters,” December 29], I wish to make it plain that these are not views shared by me. I am forced to write to you so friends will not be pan­ icked into the assumption that I wrote such a letter. I am indiffer­ ent as to the anatomical location o f Mr. Freyne’s head. Besides, where I come from, it would be “arse” and not “ass.”

EXTREME POLITICS \ Tiki Archambeau’s letter titled “Why Prog?” in the December 17 ~ Seven Days could not have been written any better than by Karl Rove himself. It’s this type o f utopian thinking that results in the extreme national policies we are

make the accusation. After all, the most important consideration is to advance his own campaign.

This is the Park Ave. kid who got a medical deferment from the draft and then spent the next cou­ ple o f years skiing. N o back prob­ lem there. This is not intended to be a condemnation o f Mr. Dean, because many other sons o f the well-connected also managed to receive miraculous deferments.

Now the 4F sissy has the nerve to accuse the President o f the United States o f being an accom­ plice to murder. O f course he does not have the cojones to actually make the charge, because he would then have to stand behind it People like Little Howie do not stand behind their words. They only run their mouths and then allow their press secretaries to wig­ gle their way out o f it.

Believe me when I say that I am not a huge fan o f Pres. George Bush, but I would like to see him taken on by a real man. N ot RunAnd-Hide Dean. If you have something to say, Howie, stand up on your hind legs and say it.

FAIL SAFE “We got him” and “America is safe again” rang through the Bush administration after the capture o f Saddam. They made it look as if no further harm could become us.

Presidential hopeful Howard Dean said we should be wary and not so

quick to think this way. Once again, Dean is right. Less than a week after the administration made this statement, we are now at Orange on the terrorist attack level — just one step below the most severe level, Red. Did the administration really think that retaliation would not happen? This is like when the administration said that tons o f arsenal had to be found, only to come to the conclusion that was wrong, too.

As an American, I’m scared to think that we have a president who doesn’t look past the present situa­ tion and starts jumping to conclu­ sions without really thinking about the other side o f the coin. I believe that America would be much bet­ ter off with Dean in the White House, because he doesn’t assume everything is fine just because we accomplished one thing.

ALL WHAT NEWS? Christine Swanson [“Letters,” December 17] has a valid com­ plaint, that Seven Days publishes only letters related to previous con­ tent. Editorial whim rules, o f course, and the policy is sometimes relaxed; it’s a way to avoid trivial gripes about potholes, dog poop and PTAs. But in a city without town meetings, letter columns are a significant form o f public debate and ought to be open to all serious topics. Granted, it’s hard to define those fairly.

Seven Days doesn’t concern itself with, for instance, school budgets, school choice, commercial sprawl, affordable housing, how to mix housing comfortably with down­ town business, the insufficiency o f Burlington property taxes to the demand on services. And more broadly: the natures o f self-govern­ ment, national power, global vs. local community, and large vs. small capitalism ... (Mustn’t exceed my allotted wordage!)

If this were Revolutionary America, Seven Days wouldn’t publish the Federalist Papers. The Burlington Free Press would, but would require that “ Publius” identify him self and then would allow only one letter per person per 30 days. W hat kind o f debate is that when a subject is hot?

Seven Days is our only poten­ tially alternative press. Something needs to be done to make it actu­ al.

DON'T DRINK THE WATER It is very alarming to read in the news lately o f the Ticonderoga Mill in New York about to burn rubber tires in their plant. This is one o f the worst things to do as it is proven that carcinogens will pol­ lute the air.

Also IBM , here in Vermont, according to an article in the Free Press, has been given a green light to dump 30 tons o f cadmium, lead, mercury and carcinogens into Lake Champlain, EPAapproved.

A lot o f people just shrug their shoulders because nine out o f 10 people do not realize that they are drinking this water. Burlington tap water is Lake Champlain water. It might take 10 to 15 years to devel­ op leukemia, tumor, etc. from drinking this water. Most news reports on “cleaning up the lake” never say that you are drinking this stuff — only that pregnant women [should] not eat the fish. •

very move you make, Ho-Ho. Every bond you break. Every step you take, they’ll be watching you. And watching Howard Dean has become the new #1 pastime for the national media. The question is, how good is their eyesight?

As former Gov. Dean has risen like Vermont cream to the top o f the Dem o­ crats’ presidential milk tank, a number o f stories have appeared that many say unfairly and inaccurately portray Dean’s gubernato­ rial record.

W hat’s funny is that the criticism o f the

m

very liberal Democrats now enthusiastically support Dean’s presidential bid.

“I learned a lot from him,” said Chainsaw, “but he learned a few things from us. And,” said the Vermont native, “he made the place I love a stronger and better place than when he found it.”

The good news is, there’s some indica­ tion this week that the real story o f Howard Dean’s Vermont experience may get out.

national press is coming from some o f HoH o’s oldest and toughest political foes: cur­ rent State Auditor and former State Sen. Elizabeth Ready and her predecessor in the auditor’s office, Ed Flanagan.

Using audits and reviews produced by the pair, the Boston Globe, The N ew York Times and the Associated Press have recently portrayed Dean as hypocritical in criticizing George W. Bush for cutting sweetheart deals with Halliburton and being lax on security issues at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon. Monday’s New York Times blamed H o-H o for alleged sleazy dealing in 1992 by then Administra­ tion Secretary David Wilson in a contract awarded to CHP, an H M O that no longer exists.

“It is not responsible,” said Chainsaw Liz, “to drag out old audits as if they were fresh news, especially when they cover sub­ jects like nuclear safety. The national press is featuring findings that are long corrected, people who are dead, and companies that left the state.”

Flanagan said he agrees with Ready on this one. Ten years ago, Fast Eddie issued the review o f the C H P contract that caught the eye o f Times reporter Rick Lyman.

“There was no direct connection I know o f between Gov. Dean and what David Wilson did,” said Flanagan.

W hat David Wilson did, said Flanagan, was stick his nose into the process, discour­ aging Blue Cross Blue Shield from meeting with Dean. Wilson previously was a Statehouse lobbyist for CHP, a competitor o f the Blues.

Despite their sometimes heated battles with H o-H o over the years, the two once

quest. They wanted to find out if the cur­ rent portrayal o f Dean as an angry, leftwing extremist rabble-rouser is correct.

Yours truly was only too happy to take them on a stroll down memory lane, back to the good old days when Howard Dean represented the Republican wing o f the Democratic Party. Back to reality.

Anyone can get a story. Getting it right is the challenge. Kudos to C N N for being the first to make the effort.

P.S. Mr. Flanagan told Seven Days he plans on dipping his toes back in the politi­ cal pond this year. Fast Eddie said he will be a candidate for one o f the six Chittenden County seats in the state senate..

Governor M oonbeam ? — Gubernatorial hopeful Peter Clavelle appears primed for his bid to unseat Republican one-term won­ der Jim Douglas. Mayor Moonie has been on the road a lot lately. The feedback we’re getting from out in the mountains is that Pedro comes across as a very knowledgeable and caring soul with a vision for the future.

But political insiders are almost univer­ sally dissing his chances in November. Even if former State Sen. Peter Shum lin decides not to challenge him in the Democratic Primary, Moonie’s facing a steep uphill struggle.

The reason cited by the pundit class is the fact that Jim Douglas is such a “nice guy.” People find him hard to dislike. Who wouldn’t want their sister or daughter to date a guy like Jim m y D? He’s not a boozer and is the last living member o f the Woodstock generation who hasn’t inhaled. ,

Curses, Foiled Again Three men broke into a home in Aurora, Illinois, and shot a 23-year-old man in the arm.

As they fled, the gunmen accidentally shot each other. “ It seems clear the only guns involved were those used by the alleged offenders,” Aurora police repre­ sentative Dan Ferrelli said, explaining that Kevin L. House, 31, was wounded in the buttocks, Patrick L. Dawkins, 32, was shot in the hand and foot, and Kenneth L. Powell, 30, was shot in the calf. Police arrested the men after they were treated at an Aurora hospital.

According to police investigators, she told a security guard and motioned for someone to call 911, then resumed shopping. When officers responded, they learned that two armed robbers had made o ff with about $ 10,000 and found Govern still stand­ ing in the checkout line. “She told someone to call 911,” one detective told the Chicago Sun-Times, “but she was the

Nelson, an employee o f the Miami-Dade County, Florida, county clerk’s office for 13 years, dropped by his workplace from time to time to pick up his pay stubs, according to investigator Jennifer Chirolis, who wrote in Nelson’s arrest report that “his co-workers noted he was always rushed and would state that he was ‘at lunch,’ on break’ or ‘needed to get back to jury duty. ” He collected $17,388.47 in pay, then resigned when his bosses pressed him for proof o f his jury service.

Oversight Police in Modesto, California, reported that a masked man took an undisclosed amount o f money from a bank but fumbled his way through the robbery because he forgot to cut eye holes in the piece o f cloth draped over his head and held on by his hat. The robber had to occasionally lift up the corner o f the cloth to see where he was going, although even that didn’t help him out the front door. “He walks into the steel door frame, bangs his head on the frame and knocks his hat off,” Detective Tom Blake said. “ He backs up a bit, still holding onto his hood, and shuffles out the door.” When the sus­ pect’s hat came off, witnesses saw his face and gave a description to police, y/ho arrested Stephen David Walker, 49, several blocks from the bank.

Seller's Market A British court convicted Lfester Stacey, 39, o f holding homeowner Adam Adamou hostage because Adamou raised the selling price o f his home by nearly $300,000 five months after they had agreed on a fig­ ure. Adamou testified in Stoke Crown Court that he raised the price because Stacey delayed closing the deal during a boom in the housing market. Prosec­ utors said Stacey went to Adamou’s home, ranted at him, punched him in the face and threatened to cut out his heart and gouge out his eyes while keep­ ing him prisoner.

Second-Amendment Revelry The Knob Creek Gun Range Machine Gun Shoot and Military Gun Show, which takes place twice a year in West Point, Kentucky, draws about 12,000 peo­ ple; the three-day event is hailed as the biggest machine-gun shoot in the nation.

Participants blast away at motor vehicles and appliances. “It’s not unusual for guys to dump $10,000 (in ammunition) into the hill,” Kenny Sumner Jr., son o f the range’s owner, told the Louisville CourierJournal. The event also features flame­ throwers. “This is the closest thing to war you can find,” declared Mike Mesker, a security guard at the event.

A

s Burlington rang in 2004, also known on the Chinese calendar as the Year o f the Monkey, there were growing indications that the days are numbered for the public display o f rare and exotic animals in the Queen City.

Last month; the Burlington City Council approved two unrelated ordinances that make it more difficult for people to show off their unusual animals for fun or profit.

The first resolution, sponsored by Councilor Barbara Perry (I-Ward 6) bans exotic pets from the Church Street Marketplace without prior approval from the city. According to language in the ordi-

If Burlington puts the kibosh on lions, tigers and bears, the move could spur sim ilar m easures in cities like Boston or New York City.

nance, an “exotic pet” means all animals except domesticated dogs, cats and Europe^! ferrets. Apparently, there’s been growing unease -ampng some squeamish shoppers and shopkeepers about the pres­ ence o f large snakes, birds, reptiles and other scaled or creepy critters, not to mention the exotic diseases they sometimes carry.

While no one is suggesting that rabid hamsters or finger-hungry cockatoos have become a serious public health threat on Vermont’s premium retail strip, the ban is consistent with ordinances in hundreds o f other cities around the country. In fact, most animal-rights groups support such bans — as does Burlington’s animal-safety officer — for reasons o f both animal welfare and public safety.

In a similar vein, the City Council also approved a measure that bans the display o f non-domesticated animals for public enter­ tainment or amusement — specifically, large cats, bears, elephants and nonhuman primates. The ban, which took effect January 1, only covers public places that are owned or operated by the City o f Burling­ ton. Although it’s mostly symbolic — there are no city-owned venues large enough to accommodate a three-ring circus such as the Ringling Brothers or Disney on Ice — the ordinance may be the first step towards the passage o f a citywide prohibition against animal road shows.

“This ordinance is based on a huge movement nationwide to try to cut down on traveling circuses because o f their inhu­ mane treatment o f the large animals,” explains Councilor Ian Carleton (D-W ard 1), who chairs the Council’s Ordinance Committee. A two-hour public hearing, held just before Christmas, attracted a wide array o f spokespeople on both sides o f the issue who recognize that if Burlington puts the kibosh on lions, tigers and bears, the move could have serious repercussions and spur similar measures in cities like Boston or New York City.

“Honestly, it was one o f the most fasci­ nating debates I have ever seen as a city councilor. It was amazing,” says Carleton.

“It was really wonderful in terms o f public process. I don’t know what’s going to come

o f it, though.” The Ordinance Committee will likely revisit the issue in February.

Speaking o f more n atural sta te s, the Vermont Legislature will hold hearings this month on a bill that would require insur­ ance companies to reimburse patients who see a naturopathic physician rather than a conventional doctor. S.184, sponsored by Sen. Virginia Lyons (D-W illiston), would require insurance companies to reimburse patients only for naturopathic services or items already covered for other health-care providers, such as lab tests, Pap smears, xrays and blood-pressure checks.

“Basically, what we want to do is level the playing field so that consumers have a choice o f what kind o f provider they want to see,” says Dr. Lorilee Schoenbeck o f the Vermont Association o f Naturopathic Physicians. According to Schoenbeck, naturopathic doctors are licensed physicians in the state o f Vermont, attend a four-year medical school similar to conventional M D s and receive extensive training not only in conventional medical sciences but also in nutrition, preventative medicine and pharmacology. Naturopathic doctors can see patients'for a wide array o f conditions rang­ ing from the common cold to heart disease, though they typically order treatments that are more natural and less invasive than those prescribed by conventional doctors.

Presently, there are only about 18 licensed naturopathic physicians in Vermont. Schoenbeck believes their low number is attributable to the fact that insurance companies don’t pay for their services or procedures, even when they are identical to those ordered by conventional doctors, nurse practitioners or physicianassistants. In contrast, Connecticut, which requires insurance carriers to reimburse con­ sumers for naturopathic care, has more than 200 N D s. Montana, Washington and Alaska also require such reimbursement.

The bill now before the Senate is not expected to increase the state’s already sky­ rocketing health-care costs. Rather, it could reduce them dramatically. S.184 would not require insurance carriers to cover the cost o f naturopathic remedies themselves, even though those treatments are usually less expensive than conventional medications and procedures. For example, a patient tak­ ing the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor pays about $76 per month. In contrast, a naturopathic alternative, red yeast rice, only costs about $ 15 per month.

Perhaps more importantly, reimburse­ ment o f naturopathic doctors could help address some o f the most debilitating and pricey chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, arthritis, high blood pressure and asthma, which represent about 76 percent o f Vermont’s annual health-care budget. “Naturopathic physicians excel at the dietary and lifestyle counseling that effectively helps patients prevent these very burdening problems,” says Schoenbeck. In other words, safe, cheap and effective pre­ ventative medicine. W hat solution could be more natural than that? ®

Sounds almost homey, eh? Like hell. According to Toth, most of the people living in the tunnels are alco­ holic, addicted to drugs or mentally ill. They’re terror­ ized by roving gangs, ravaged by illness, hassled by cops and preyed upon by each other. The majority lives like animals. In one memorable passage, Toth describes a fel­ low who traps “track rabbits” — raccoon-size rats — which he kills by slamming against a wall, roasts over a fire and eats.

Nonetheless, many of the tunnel people Toth speaks to in her book are intelligent and enterprising. A few have college degrees. Roughly half, she guesses now, had some source of honest incopie, such as collecting soda bottles; half of thoie held jobs at least part of the time; all told, maybe an eighth had steady employment, albeit of the minimum-wage variety.

Party Down a

here’s three o f us tonight. W ere going to a party on — Jen, what’s the street we’re headed to? You have the address, right?

Sorry about this, Jernigan. We’re real organized here.”

I recognized the caller as Zooey, one o f the many U V M students I count as regu­ lar customers.

“N o problem ,” I said. “You’re the girls from Harris-Millis, right? G oing to a party in the middle o f exam week? All’s I can say is, ‘Tsk, tsk.’”

“Wait a gosh darn second there, Jernigan. Give us a break! We’ve been studying non-stop for days; tonight we’re just blowing o ff a little steam, that’s all.”

“Well, in that case,” I replied with a chuckle, “ I’ll be there in 10.”

“Thanks, and Jen just said that the party’s on Murray Street.”

T he freshmen girls com e and go, year after year. Funny how their ages never change, while I keep growing older.

T he optim ism o f these young women remains a constant through the years as well. Driving them, I’m always buoyed by their youthful confi­ dence and vitality.

W hen I pulled up to the dorm the three girls scurried to the cab and into the back seat. As usual, they were coatless despite the frigid night air. H ats are out o f the question. I believe I’ll see Senator Leahy don a toupee before I witness my first college girl wear­ ing a warm woolen hat. It’s a “hair thing,” I gather.

“So, where’s M urray Street?” Zooey asked as we got underway. “ Is it near Loom is?”

“N o, not exactly. You girls are headed to the ghetto tonight. Murray isn’t what I’d call a student area.”

Zooey pivoted in her seat like a point guard. “Jen, what did you get us into here? H ow exactly do you know this boy who invited us?”

In the rearview I could see that Jen was flustered. “Zooey, it was that guy Shawn from biology. You know — the kid with the brown hair, parts it kinda in the m id­ dle. H e said it’s going to be, like, an awe­ some party. T h at’s all I know. Gee, I’m sorry.” “ Hey, Zooey,” I interjected. “ I was just kidding about that ‘ghetto’ business.

Burlington’s a pretty safe town. I’m sure it’ll be fine. I f there’s any problem , you just call me and I’ll pick you up in a jiffy.”

“W hat’s the matter with you guys?”

T he third girl had jum ped into the fray.

“W hat are we, in high school? We can, like, so take care o f ourselves. Q uit w im p­ ing o u t.”

“You’re right, Lanie,” Zooey replied. “ I’m overreacting. We’re in college now.

We can handle whatever the night brings.

Right, girls?” , We found the num ber on Murray. The

place was one in a series o f attached apart­ ments, each with its own front door and short staircase. T he exterior siding looked like it was painted white, but that would be merely a guess at this stage o f the wear and tear. Two extremely sleazy-looking guys were sm oking on the steps. When my three attractive, fresh-faced co-eds got out o f the cab, the guys eyed them like a couple o f leopards scoping out a trio o f young springbok who had wandered away from their mother. Well, we’ll see, I thought to myself. I’m just glad there are three o f them.

T h e call came 45 minutes later.

“Jernigan, com e back and get us.” It was Zooey, and she sounded genuinely dis­ tressed. “You were right! We shouldn’t be going out during exam week. W hat were we thinking?” “ Zooey, grab your friends and wait outside. I’m downtown; I won’t be five m inutes.”

W hen I reached the apartment, the girls were shivering on the sidewalk. A young man — Shawn, perhaps? — was , talking to them very intensely, with a lot o f suspect hand and head movement. He looked like one o f those litigants pleading a dubious case to Judge Judy. To their credit, the girls were having none o f it. As soon as they spotted me, they joined hands and sprinted to the cab.

D iving into the rear seat, Zooey shout­ ed, “ G o, go, go!” I hit the gas, feeling like the driver o f a getaway car. “ O m igod, om igod,” she continued. “ H ow horrible was that?”

“Were we, like, the only females at that party?” Jen said. She was still shaking, and I couldn’t tell if it was cold, fear or a com ­ bination o f the two. “ I mean, it was, like, 50 sketchy guys and us.”

I just drove and listened. It was as if they were debriefing, giving testimony as a means o f release from the experience. It didn’t appear that any o f them had suf­ fered serious assault, thank goodness, but they were all thoroughly creeped out. To m y list o f qualities characterizing fresh­ men girls, I mentally added “naive.” “ I tried dancing with this one guy,” Lanie began, clearly in high outrage. “Just, like, you know, to be nice. H e wouldn’t stop grabbing my ass! It was disgusting.

He, like, wouldn’t take the hint.”

“You are not kidding!” Jen jum ped in. “ It was like Planet o f the Gropers in there!

Wait’ll I see Shawn again. W hat a total jerk!”

There was silence in the cab for a m oment. Then the three friends sponta­ neously turned toward each other and began to laugh. It began as chuckles, but quickly progressed to full-blown belly laughter. It was great to see. N othing’s more im portant than resiliency, I thought, in m aking a successful life.

“Jernigan,” Z o o ey said, wiping a tear from her face, “the next time we call you to take us to a strange party, you just say ‘N o ,’ O K ?”

“You got it, Zooey.” I replied. “Now, when we get back to the dorm s, I want you all to hit those books!” ®

Up to Here With Holiday C h eer

G ‘

od bless us, every one. We made it through the holliest, jolliest, most supersized holiday season in history, and it’s a Christmas miracle there’s a tooth left in our heads after such a sugary blizzard o f T V specials and celebrations. Being a big fan o f the holiday — my home stereo plays Yule tunes year round — I might have been tempted to call it too much o f a good thing. In reality, though, it was merely too much.

Good things were few and far between on the small screen. The classics o f my youth, o f course: Charlie Brown’s special, Rudolph’s, Frosty’s, the Grinch’s. I even found a channel carrying my old favorite, “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol.” Holiday favorites from Hollywood such as I t’s a Wonderful

Charles Schultz may have gone to that great drafting table in the sky, but that didn't prevent — and more likely made possible — production of an all-new special.

Life, A Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Story were put into heavy rotation by multiple outlets, along with younger helpers such as Bill Murray’s Scrooged and Jim Carrey’s live-action Grinch.

But those don’t explain why I feel overdosed on Yuletide cheer; a dozen or so holiday broadcasts, spread out over the two or three weeks leading up to the big day, seem about right. No, what put me in a Christmas coma were the more than 100 additional special offerings broadcasters crammed into that same short span o f time.

Think I’m kidding? Nope. I counted. This past year brought a proliferation o f holiday programming that defied explanation — not to mention common business sense. There were more seasonal broadcasts on television than Santa and an army o f elves could possibly have watched working in shifts around the clock: “Crazy for Christmas” (H G T V ); “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” (N BC ); “The Man Who Saved Christmas” (Lifetime); “Mary Christmas” (WWBI); “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (C B M T ); “Cathedral Christmas” (EW TN ); “One Christmas” (Hallmark); “In Search o f Christmas” (The History Channel); “It Nearly Wasn’t Christmas” (Disney); “Once Upon a Christmas,” and the imaginatively titled sequel “Twice Upon a Christmas” (Hallmark). D id you take in even one o f these?

Perhaps you were too busy trying to keep up with the never-ending roll-out o f Rudolph and Frosty spin­ offs, which this year included “Rudolph’s Shiny New Year” (Family); “Frosty’s Winter Wonderland” (Family); “Olive, The Other Reindeer” (Cartoon); “Robbie the Reindeer: Hooves o f Fire” and “Robbie the Reindeer: Legend o f the Lost Tribe” (both starring Rudolph’s “son” and broadcast on CBS). And then there was “ Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July” (Family). We couldn’t have waited until next summer for that one?

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Holiday Inn, Scrooge, White Christmas and A Christmas Carol are certified classics o f the season. Broadcasters hit a new low, however, in their attempts to pass o ff less beloved fare as equally must-see viewing. The Santa Clause (ARC ), Jack Frost (Family) and the freshly minted National Lampoons Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure (N B C ) do not exactly have Tinseltown immortality written all over them.

I’m not sure Home Alone (WCAX) even counts as a Christmas movie, though a portion o f it does take place on the holiday. And I’m fairly certain Ben Affleck’s failed caper flick Reindeer Games (TBS) is • never in season. As for Governor Arnold’s botched directorial debut, Christmas in Connecticut (C B M T ),

Osbournes Christmas” (M TV ); “Marvin Hamlisch’s I doubt even the first family o f California tuned in Christmas” (VPT); “An American Idol Christmas” for that rare airing.

(Fox); “An Anne Murray Christmas” (C B M T ); “Rick Other disturbing trends: Specials documenting the Mercer’s Christmas” (C B M T ), “Sean Cullen’s vast differences among the ways disparate cultures Christmas” (C B M T ); “A Barry Manilow Christmas” celebrate Christmas; educational offerings such as (A&E); “A Columbo Christmas” (A&E); and “A Kid “Christmas in New York” (Travel); “A Smoky Rock Christmas” (VH1).

Hear that festive whirring Mountain Christmas” (C M T ); “An Adirondack sound?

It’s Bing Crosby spinning in his grave.

Insid^ Story W h

IMAGE Stefan Bum beck

witching o ff his vacuum cleaner, George Michaels leans down to inspect the filter he’s placed in the machine to show me how much gunk has been gath­ ering in my carpet. “Holy cow!” he cries. “You’re liv­ ing in a den o f dirt!” Michaels pulls out a tangle o f dust, hair and soil flecked with bits o f food, and walks over to the kitchen, where he lays the collection carefully on a chair, like a robin’s nest he’s found in the woods. The treasure is soon joined by two more from the living room alone. “You must save these,” he says, shaking his head. “Show your husband what your vacuum cleaner has missed.”

I feel like a 1950s housewife sucked in by the pitch o f a door-to-door Salesman. The nasty “nests” are so shocking I’m even thinking o f buying one o f the $2000 Aerus Electrolux Guardians that Michaels demonstrates. He’s here, ostensibly, to clean my car­ pets. My mother-in-law’s about to visit, and I’ve responded to a neon-colored flyer for an inexpensive, quick shampooing from Aerus. But because I’ve neglected to vacuum and move the furniture before Michaels’ arrival, he takes the opportunity to show o ff his full line o f products. And he offers a few life lessons about what lurks inside the home; despite the state’s great outdoors, that’s where most Vermonters spend the majority o f the winter. (The average person is indoors about 90 percent o f the time, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.)

Those clumps o f dirt in the carpet are missed by most types o f vacuum cleaners, especially older mod­ els that have lost their mojo or don’t allow enough space for airflow. Though I vacuum once a week, the filth has clung to the fibers, hiding from my Dirt Devil while I hum along, unsuspecting. The accumu­ lation can cause asthma and allergies, and that’s just scratching the surface. Even worse are the invisible chemicals lurking beneath our feet.

“In the old days, it was thought, it’s good for your system, eat a peck o f dirt before you die,” says Michaels, a cell biologist who began selling Aerus products in the 1990s as a way to supplement his research stipends. “Nowadays we’re so molded and melded into chemicals through industry, there’s a lot o f toxins — thousands — in the atmosphere.”

Synthetic carpets already contain dozens o f poten-

daily hazardous chemicals in their blends; combined with a polyurethane pad, they can release dangerous fumes into the air for years. Enter your home after a day at the office, on the roads or at a construction site, and you bring more toxins — car exhaust, ciga­ rette smoke, de-icing salt — inside. According to the

Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, the Texas-based Aerus has franchises in Vermont and around the country. It is just one o f hundreds o f companies committed to healthy home care; the Green Mountain State boasts a bounty o f green cleaners and designers. Waitsfield architect William Maclay starts from the ground up, designing homes to minimize mold-producing moisture and improve ventilation.

“In talking to clients, you find that people have more health issues, such as allergies and getting sick every winter, than they first think,” says Maclay, whose “Vermont Healthy Home” design is an alter­ n a t e to the state’s typically drafty structures. “If you have an old farmhouse, the hot air rises, sucking air from the basement which may have mold and mildew. We look holistically at the home, as a com­ plex organism.”

Burlington-based Seventh Generation, meanwhile, produces a line o f non-toxic household products that can help eliminate the everyday accumulation o f indoor chemicals. The company’s offerings include chlorine-free diapers and baby wipes, recycled trash bags and tissue and a mint-oil toilet bowl cleaner.

Laundry detergents are made from corn and coconutbased cleaning agents, and are a smart choice consid­ ering how often your clothes and bedding should be hitting the washing machine. As many as two million dust mites call your home their home, feeding off flakes o f dead skin in cushions, sheets and more. One study found that one-tenth the weight o f a 2-year-old pillow is dust-mite feces, which causes asthma and is just plain gross.

As many as two million dust m ites call your home th e ir home, feeding o ff flakes of dead skin in cushions, sheets and more.

EPA, more than 150 toxic substances can be found in the typical home, turning comfort zones into verita­ ble chemistry labs. A recent EPA survey also revealed that indoor air was three to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air. So much for “country fresh.”

The EPA recommends that non-smoking couples in cold climates clean carpets every four to six months; if there are children, do it four times a year.

Have children and pets? Clean every two months.

But beware o f how you battle the dander and dust, as many methods can actually do more harm than help.

Vacuum cleaners often just recycle the toxins back into the air and also emit carbon dust — look for models with a High-Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA filter, which traps 99.97 percent o f airborne particles 0.3 microns or larger.

Washing can be even worse, as many spot removers contain perchloroethylene and naphthalene, and the fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, liver dam ­ age and cancer. Traditional “wet” shampooing can turn your living room into a living swamp, as some methods take three to five days to dry. “While it’s drying you get blooms o f bacteria, fungus and mold and this isn’t good for your lungs,” says Michaels.

“T hat’s why doctors have said don’t shampoo if you have babies around, and people get the idea they shouldn’t [clean their carpets].”

After vacuuming with the Guardian, Michaels pushes around a Floor Pro, which goes for $800. The upright model releases a light foam, about 2 percent water, which dries in just a few hours or less. “This is a grooming,” he suggests.

The statistics get downright scary. A 15-year study by the National Cancer Institute concluded that women who work at home have a 54 percent higher risk o f developing cancer than those who work out­ side the house. Beyond the obvious culprits o f car­ pets, cleaners, mildew and mold are stoves, heaters, fireplaces and chimneys, radon, asbestos and formaldehyde. The EPA, which has published a 25page guide to indoor air quality on its Web site (www.epa.gov/iaq) recommends improving ventila­ tion and purchasing air cleaners, where appropriate.

But the most effective method is controlling sources: sealing off pollutants, adjusting gas emissions, mini­ mizing woodstove smoke, installing exhaust fans and measuring radon levels.

Those who work in construction, painting or other industries involving lead should change their shoes and clothes before entering the home. Everyone should reduce exposure to household chemicals. And in some cases, dirty may be better — the EPA sug­ gests keeping exposure to newly dry-cleaned clothes, which have perchloroethylene emissions, to a mini­ mum. For pillows, there are dust-mite-proof cases, and toxin-free alternatives abound.

After Michaels leaves my house — with my promise I’ll consider a Guardian and Floor Pro — the carpet does indeed dry quickly, and I let the nests sit on the kitchen chair for a while. Hesitant to even wash the counters before investigating the ingredients o f my household cleaning arsenal, I make up my mother-in-law’s bed, open the windows and go for a walk where it’s much safer: outdoors. ®

Mary Fanny Time? — Despite a recent report in The Burlington Free Press, Fletcher Allen Health Care is not on the verge o f changing its name. The gist o f the story was the hospital wanted to put its sordid Renaissance Project financial scan­ dal in the past and the thought was, a new name will help.

However, Mary Fanny spokesman Mike Nobel told Seven Days the name change idea is only in the most preliminary stage.

“Were beginning to look at what a process might look like to think o f changing our name, but at this time there’s no process,” said the Nobleman.

Told o f one rumor that the hospital wants “Vermont” in its new name, Noble just laughed.

The current name came from combining Mary Fletcher with Fanny Allen. We’ve always said they picked the wrong combo. It ought to be the Mary Fanny.

O K , how about “Mary Vermont’s Fanny?”

got bit by the love bug this New Year’s. Our favorite medical soft­ ware whiz, Ritchie Tarrant o f ID X, tied the knot with longtime sweetheart Deborah M essner on New Year’s Eve. Tarrant announced the nuptials that evening at a New Year’s Eve party he threw for 200 o f his closest friends at the Clarion Hotel in South Burlington.

Congratulations to the love birds!

Now, if Mr. ID X decides to take a plunge into the 2004 U.S. Senate race, he’ll do so as a happi­ ly married man.

M edia Notes — Montpelier’s Associated Press bureau has new digs and a new staffer. The old, shall we say, bare bones bureau occupied the second floor above the Thrush Tavern for the last 25 years. That meant the governor’s office across the street was less than a minute’s walk away, and the Statehouse just two minutes.

The new, modern facilities are down by the river on Stonecutter’s Way. Now it’s a good 10-minute hike to the Golden Dome.

“It’s not as convenient as the Thrush,” said veteran A.P. Reporter W ilson Ring.

The new reporter at A.P. s Montpeculiar outpost is Tim McCahill. Son o f a diplomat, Tim graduated Middlebury College last February and was a reporter for the weekly Addison Independent before moving to the world’s largest news service. Bureau Chief Chris G raff also went to Dingleberry College. So did Gov. Jim Douglas.

sore” and a drain on m unicipal resources.

Its owners, Dr. Subbarao G utti and Sathyavathi G utti o f Centerport, New York, still owe thousands o f dollars in back taxes and assessments.

W aterbury police say that over the years they received “a wide variety o f com ­ plaints” about the place and suspect it was .. on ce the center o f a local drug ring; State inspectors note that they, too, fielded num erous com plaints from motel resi­ dents over the years and cited its owners repeatedly for fire-code violations.

N o t surprisingly, som e local residents weren’t sorry to see the motel go. But those who know o f the building’s histori­ cal significance fear that its recent reputa­ tion will thwart efforts to save it. M ore­ over, they worry that even if this historic landm ark doesn’t succum b to the ele­ ments, it m ay fall into the hands o f anoth­ er out-of-state developer who is more interested in its value as prim e downtown real estate. A nd that, says Village President T h om as Stevens, w ould be a loss not only to Waterbury, but to all Vermonters.

“We don’t often have opportunities to redevelop a property downtown, especially historic properties,” says Stevens. “We

W hat was once an elegant front door now hangs ajar, revealing the extensive internal dam age caused by an electrical fire more than a year ago. Inside, water trickles down an oak banister and i pools in the front foyer. A few m onths ago, the Vermont D epartm ent o f Labor and Industry ordered a chain-link fence put up around the property to protect the public from bricks that occasionally tumble from the second floor in a strong wind. But there’s no sign that the building’s owners are trying to save this antebellum home from the weather or the wrecking ball.

In fact, only an engraved granite plaque hints at the building’s historical value. T h e house, which was built in 1850 and is list­ ed in the N ational Register o f H istoric Places, was the longtim e hom e o f W illiam Wells, Verm ont’s m ost prom inent Civil War hero.

Fo tural engineering report con­ cluded that the building can still be saved. But to survive the win­ ter it will need a new roo f and considerable renovations costing hundreds o f thousands o f dol­ lars. A nd neither the village nor the town o f W aterbury has the ; necessary funds — or the legal authority to condem n the build­ ing.

As a result, Stevens has solicit­ ed the help o f other nonprofit groups known for restoring old buildings and m anaging them as housing. Several years ago, Revitalizing W aterbury part­ nered with the Central Vermont C om m unity Land Trust and H ousing Vermont to save W aterbury C en ters historic Sem inary Building in Waterbury Center, which was then convert­ ed to much-needed housing.

T h ough both groups have expressed sim ilar interest in the Wells H ouse, resurrecting this building m ay be an even bigger challenge, not only because o f ---the cost but also because it is mired in a huge legal morass.

According to federal court doc­ uments, the Guttis, who bought the property in 1989, still owe more than $463,000 to the Small Business Administration. In November, the U .S. Attorneys Office foreclosed on the property and ordered the building put up for public sale if the m ortgage is not paid o ff by early January.

Additionally, the Guttis still owe more than $9300 in unpaid property taxes for 2003.

In fact, other state and local officials say that their biggest challenge to saving this piece o f Vermont history has been their ongoing difficulty in dealing with Dr. G utti himself. Michael Desrochers is a fire-prevention regional m anager with the D epartm ent o f Labor and Industry. H e says that in the past 12 years his office sent inspec­

tors to the Gateway M otel repeatedly and issued several fines for fire-code violations, including one for a faulty firealarm system. But even after the building burned in 2002, Desrochers says his office had to be “pretty persistent with the owner” to secure the site and safeguard public safety.

Likewise, Waterbury M unicipal M anager Bill Shepeluk notes that G utti has long been a drain on the m unic­ ipality. “For as long as the cur­ rent owner has had the property, he has always had difficulty pay­ ing his bills. Tax bills have rou­ tinely been in arrears, as have water and sewer bills,” Shepeluk says. “T he property is in a very prom inent area o f our com m u­ nity and everyone would agree that we want it redeveloped and m ade into som ething that is attractive, functional and fits in with the village environm ent.”

Other officials aren’t just annoyed at the Guttis for letting one o f W aterbury’s few remain­ ing landmarks languish. Stevens is also angry at the Small Business Adm inistration, which holds the m ortgage on the prop­ erty, for apparently allowing the owners’ fire insurance to lapse.

Such a policy would have paid for a new roo f m onths ago. “ I want to know that the SBA knows how historic this building is,” Stevens says. “We’re not try­ ing to save a fleabag motel. We’re trying to save a historic structure.

A nd if you lose a part o f history, you lose a part o f yourself.”

Neither the SB A nor the U .S. attorney’s office will com m ent on this case, as it’s now in litiga­ tion. But in a letter to the village president several m onths ago, SB A D istrict Director Kenneth Silvia explained, “It is not sur­ prising that a seasonal business reliant on tourism could have been negatively im pacted by the

econom ic ups and downs o f W aterbury and the State o f Vermont over the last 14 years.”

Silvia pointed out som e o f the m any projects in which the SBA has invested over the years in Waterbury, including Green • M ountain C offee Roasters, the Stagecoach Inn, Snowfire and A rvad’s, to name a few.

Stevens doesn’t dispute the SBA’s other success stories in W aterbury; he sim ply says that the Gateway M otel wasn’t one o f them. A nd he takes issue with the characterization o f the Gateway M otel as a “seasonal business reliant on tourism .”

“When he says that ‘Dr. and Mrs. Gutti have operated the motel since 1989,’ it sounds like a nice little couple from New Jersey bought a bed-and-breakfast because they came up to Ver­ m ont and liked it here,” says Stevens. “T h at place didn’t cater to tourists. It was a fleabag motel.

To me, this is spin, that’s all.”

Reached last week during a visit to Vermont, Dr. G utti w ould not com m ent on the m otel’s sketchy past or his cur­ rent plans for the property, except to say that he has found a bank and som e local investors who are interested in fixing it up “as soon as possible.” W hen asked about the house’s historic significance, G utti said he didn’t know anything about it.

But Stevens is skeptical o f G u tti’s 11 th-hour claim s about saving this old house. “ H e’s just not cooperative. H e’s been in our com m unity for 13 years, but he hasn’t been a part o f our tow n,” Stevens says. “ We do not believe he has the means to do so, and even if he did, his histo­ ry shows his follow-through will not be as lofty as his w ords.”

In the m eantim e, Stevens can only watch as the snow, and the bricks, continue to fall. ®

“ Hell”— that’s what conservative rag The National Review called Vermont on the cover o f its October 13, 2003 issue. In his story, writer Jonah Goldberg — who has never lived in Vermont — claims that Howard Dean and his min­ ions have all but evicted the real Ver­ monters, turning the state into an “Epcot Center exhibit o f Green Socialism.”

This trash-talk is all too familiar here.

The anti-Act 60 movement said it in the 1990s, the Take Backsters repeated it in 2000. The dialogue has long been part of a statewide conversation over what it means to be a Vermonter. But now that our ex-governor is running for president, a nationwide audience is listening in. At this very moment, researchers from the media and rival campaigns are scouring Howard Dean’s papers for gaffes and clamoring for access to his sealed fdes.

The brouhaha illustrates an important point: Historical records are key to understanding the past, and can be useful in shaping the future.

In Vermont, many organizations pre­ serve historical assets, including state archives, library special-collections departments and local history groups. But

CATHY RESMER

the Vermont Historical Society, founded in 1838, is the only organization that collects and exhibits documents and artifacts from all over the state.

VHS boasts more than 20,000 objects from “precontact times” to the present; 42,000 cat­ alogued publications; 30,000 photos; 8700 broadsides; 1000 maps; and film and microfilm records.

In March 1992, the bulk of this treasure was nearly lost.

Peter Mallary, a 10-year member and former presi­ dent of the VHS Board of Trustees, recalls the near catastrophe, in which an ice jam on the Winooski River caused flooding in downtown Montpelier. A state legislator from Newbury at the time, he ducked out o f a session to check on the VHS materials, located in the Pavilion Building next door. Most o f the collection was stored in the basement — below the floodplain.

Mallary found water seeping into the basement — and rising. “We had a disas­ ter waiting to happen on our hands,” he says. Mallary rounded up idle legislators and lobbyists, who formed a reverse bucket brigade, evacuating boxes o f cen­ turies-old books, daguerrotypes and genealogical information. Remarkably, nothing was damaged. In fact, the flood was a blessing in disguise, because three weeks later a steam pipe burst. “It literally rained in there for 12 hours,” says Mallary. “If we hadn’t gotten everything out when we did, we would have lost 50 to 70 percent o f the collection.”

For years it had been apparent that the VHS space was inadequate — its 14,000 square feet housed a museum, a library, offices and the amateurish storage facility.

Shortly after the flood, Mallary joined the Board o f Trustees, and the organization hunted for a new home.

They eventually found it in Barre — in 2000, VHS bought the former Spaulding School, situated on a hill over­

JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

looking downtown. Built in 1891, the imposing Romanesque fortress cost them only a dollar. Why so little? The 60,000 square-foot building had been vacant for five years. Pipes had burst. The floor had buckled. When the restoration began, crews had to enter in hazmat suits. “There was enough rat, bird and pigeon poop in the building to fertilize every farm in the staft,” recalls newly minted VTJS director J. Kevin Graffagnino.

The renovations are now halfway complete, thanks to an ambitious capital campaign begun in 1998. So far, VHS has raised $7.5 million from members, foundations and government grants. The partially finished Vermont History Center, which houses the library, admin­ istrative offices and storage, has been open since July 2002. In 2001 the VHS museum on the first floor o f the Pavilion Building was closed for renovations.

When it reopens in March, it will present an exhibit covering more than 400 years of Vermont history.

Along with its physical facilities, V H S’ mission also seems to be evolving.

Leading the charge is Graffagnino — a tireless champion of all things aged who says he “burns with a white-hot passion for history.” Under his leadership, the Society is reaching out to Vermonters and inviting them to learn, and help tell, the state’s story.

When Graffagnino, 49, took the director’s job last April, then-President Mallary applauded his arrival in the V H S’ Spring 2003 newsletter. “Kevin is arguably the preeminent Vermont histori­ an of his generation,” Mallary wrote.

In the accompanying photo, Graffagnino stands among the stacks in the Center’s refurbished library. A broad smile suggests his excitement at becoming the administrative head o f VHS. Actually, he looks a little crazed — a condition he verifies in a recent interview: “I’d wear a button that says ‘I’m a history nut,’ if I could find one,” he says.

Sitting behind a desk, Graffagnino doesn’t seem all that nutty. His closecropped brown hair, tie and clearly enun­ ciated speech mark him as a professional academic or a businessman — as C EO of a historical society, he’s technically both.

But ask him about the Allen brothers and he gets a gleam in his eye. He compares Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain

Boys to Hell’s Angels, and waxes poetic on old Ira: “This is someone who has nerve, who has guts, who’s very, very good at revolutionary politics and intrigue.”

Graffagnino traces his love of old stuff back to his childhood in Montpelier, where his family moved from upstate New York when he was 8. While other kids were playing baseball, he was haunt­ ing museums and antique auctions. The first historic item he acquired, at age 12, was a hand-painted ceramic perfume bot­ tle from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

He got it from a friend who had found it in his grandmother’s house. “I was just fascinated by it,” Graffagnino says. “And he charged me a quarter for it. I still have it at home, and if the house ever burns, it’s one of the first things I’m saving.”

Graffagnino’s passion for the past led him to study history at the University of Vermont, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Then, in 1978, he took a job in the university library’s Special Collections department. Within a year he joined the VHS Board o f Trustees — at 24, the youngest person ever to do so. During his 17-year career at UVM, Graffagnino rose to department head, meanwhile commuting to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to earn his Ph.l!X A prolific scholar, he penned dozens o f books and articles about Vermont history.

Eventually, Graffagnino’s career led him out o f Vermont. In 1995 he became the library director at the State Historical Society o f Wisconsin, which has a collec­ tion o f 3.6 million printed materials.

Four years later he moved again, becom­ ing the director and CEO o f the Kentucky Historical Society. There he managed 92 employees and a budget o f $7 million. His new position at VHS is actually a step down, in a sense — with 15 employees and a $ 1.4 million budget, it’s comparatively small. But for Graffagnino and his wife, it was a wel­ come opportunity to come home.

It was a great time to return.

Graffagnino happily notes that he gets to work in “a history palace.” He lists the History Center’s renovation highlights as if showing off a new car. There’s the origi­ nal American chestnut wainscot that the contractors recovered in the foyer, and original pressed-tin ceilings throughout

OLD BUT N E W THE FORMER SPAULDING SCHOOL IS THE HOME OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND HISTORY CENTER

the building. Graffagnino is particularly fond of two sets of stained-glass windows in the library stacks room. Perched atop the main windows, the stained-glass panels were hidden by an industrial foam drop-ceiling. Their dis­ covery was a complete surprise. “No one had seen those windows for 60 years!” Graffagnino exclaims.

The new basement storage space is equally impressive. VHS Librarian Paul Carnahan f •"V ;■! is. t jfl: . * ; • • • ■ : ;■ gives me a tour or the area. He swipes a passkey over a sensor, then pushes the button to summon the elevator. When we reach the basement, the doors open onto blackness, and he flips on the lights.

The first thing I notice is a loud hiss — the building’s climate-control system, Carnahan explains. Temperature is maintained at 61 degrees, with 30 percent humidity. The boxes and books sit on enormous movable metal shelves that glide along tracks built into the newly poured concrete floor. Carnahan invites me to move them. I turn a small, threeprOnged metal handle at the end o f one stack.

The entire wall o f boxes glides noiselessly to the side with roughly the same amount of effort as opening a can o f tuna. “I don’t know how many thousands o f pounds you can move,” comments the bespectacled librarian.

What we’re moving is the history of Vermont. Carnahan lifts a large, leather-bound book that practically creaks when he opens it.

The ornate calligraphy on the title, page identi­ fies it as Acts and Conventions and State Papers, 1775-1791. Carnahan turns the pages careful­ ly, until he finds what he’s looking for — a copy o f the act of Congress that admitted Vermont into the Union. The paper, which early archivists sealed onto the page, is dated February 18, 1791. It’s signed by Thomas Jefferson.

Wearing white cotton gloves, Carnahan pulls out a few more treasures: a book o f handdrawn maps o f Lake Champlain, circa 1779; a box o f the earliest known photographic images o f the state; a first edition o f Ethan Allen’s page-turner, Reason the Only Oracle o f Man. This is all really cool, but I prefer the items in M SS 24. The plain cardboard folder con­ tains three envelopes and some papers from Sylvester Bird Rockwell o f Middlebury, a busi­ nessman who penned “hygenic verses” extolling vegetarianism. His colorful envelopes are covered with pithy sayings such as “Cows were not made to be eaten.” A 21st-century flatlander? Nope — the paper is dated 1880.

Though the general public isn’t allowed into the vault, anybody can request to see these fas­ cinating historical materials, Carnahan explains.

Use of the library costs $5. This is not to say the public will ever see all of it; the library will attract mainly serious history-heads.

But Graffagnino acknowledges that histori­ ans aren’t the only audience VHS serves. “We can’t exist and thrive solely on the history nuts like me, or the genealogists alone, or the Civil War reenactors alone,” he says. “We’d be serv­ ing less than 1 percent of the state’s popula­ tio n ” That’s why VHS has equally ambitious plans for its Vermont History Museum.

Over the last three decades, hundreds of thousands of school children have filed past the museum’s display cases in the Pavilion Building, including the mounted Catamount, reportedly the last one shot in Vermont. The new exhibit, “ Freedom and Unity, One Ideal, Many Stories,” is scheduled to open in March.

In designing it, curator Jackie Calder says she drew on feedback from people who claimed that history was boring. “We were always hear­

When they get tired, visitors watch a 15minute film about fostering democracy. It fea­ tures three issues that have forced Vermonters to grapple with their interpretations of free­ dom and unity: the anti-slavery movement, women’s suffrage and civil unions. Cunning­ ham concedes the footage of the civil-unions debate has “definite potential for controversy,” especially in this election year.

In any case, the democracy film will likely accomplish th e ^ H S museum’s main objective: helping Vermonters connect the states past to its present. After the walking tour, visitors will be invited to contribute their own stories and to comment on recent newspaper headlines.

The Society is also promoting dialogue through programs in Vermont communities.

The Vermont Historical Society doesn’t just help local groups; it depends on them, too. Many individuals are members of both. They’re the history buffs, the ones who know the names of the other Allen brothers.

Graffagnino loves to meet them. He travels to society meetings and gives history lectures, or presents a slide show on VHS history.

“It’s people who never throw anything out that create collections,” he tells a mostly elderly audience at the Hardwick Historical Society.

“All you packrats out there, you people are doing God’s work,” he says with a smile.

Though he’s there ostensibly to introduce himself and report on V H S’ progress, Graffagnino is really selling them a grand vision, and he needs them to buy it. VHS is nearing the end o f Phase I of its capital cam­ paign — only $2 million to go towards a $9.5 million goal. This will finance the major History Center renovations and the Pavilion

V H S Director Kevin Graffagnino ing from people who had horrible experiences with history in high school,” she says. To make the past seem less dry, Calder and her team “tell individual stories as much as possible, weaving those into a chronological history of the state,” she says.

One such story is that o f William Scott, the “sleeping sentinel.” Scott was slated to be exe­ cuted for falling asleep while on guard duty for the Union Army, but he was pardoned by President Lincoln. “He was a folk hero, in a weird way,” says Amy Cunningham, VHS Director of Education. She takes me on a tour of the unfinished exhibit, which recreates sever­ al historical environments. Museum visitors will enter a 17th-century Abenaki dwelling, con­ structed on-site using bark lashed to maple saplings with deer hide. They’ll be able to sit at the bar at the Green Mountain Tavern, listen in at a tent revival-meeting, and browse newspaper clippings in a World War Il-era living room.

Visitors will also be able to try their hand at some archaic tasks. Cunningham points out the small room off the tavern, where people can try to turn cream into butter. “They can get a glimpse o f how damn hard everyone was working,” she suggests. r i ' t ' . r i " ? : ' : r . m . , v r.t cn r,

in Tunbridge, the June event draws 8000 to 10,000 people. Last summer’s Expo featured booths from more than 100 historical societies, celebrating various aspects of their towns’ sto­ ries. Examples: “Mink Ranching in Worcester, 1925-1975” and “ Believe It or Not — It Happened in Windham County.”

V H S’ Community History Project matches historical societies with students. In one such collaboration, Leah Benedict, a Peacham mid­ dle school teacher, helped her students cata­ logue and create an Internet database for Peacham’s barns. The kids interviewed barn owners, drew and photographed the barns, and constructed model barns with toothpicks and marshmallows. “It was a great way for kids to learn a variety o f skills, but have it place-based about their town,” says Benedict.

The kids also met Lorna Quimby, the presi­ dent o f the Peacham Historical Society. She led them into the town vault and showed them how to research primary sources such as proper­ ty deeds and livestock records, confirming what they read in their history books. One boy told her, ‘You know, this is just like solving a mys­ tery.’ And I thought, he’s got it,” Quimby says.

exhibit. The price tag for Phase II — to com­ plete additional classroom, gallery and audito­ rium space in the History Center — will run $3 to $4 million more.

It will be awhile before this task is, you know, history, but Graffagnino is already look­ ing ahead. He hopes to expand the Society’s focus on applied history. And he would like to see VHS become “more active and more activist in a non-partisan way,” sponsoring dis­ cussions on current topics, while providing a historical framework. “There are very few con­ temporary issues that we argue about in Vermont that do not have a historical compo­ nent,” he says, citing school funding, road building, and balancing the need to balance environmental and economic concerns.

Graffagnino clearly hopes Vermonters will become as curious about their own history as the national media will be over the next year.

“Knowing something about your history has an impact,” he insists. “If society can’t remem­ ber itself and doesn’t know how it got where it is, there’s no way to have a very decent road map for going forward in the fixture.” (Z)

on a loop in m y head, I m ake a grab for it. C ou ld this be the blueprint for my new, sim pler life?

Merkel’s book bills itself as a guide to the practical application o f the principles o f sustainability, the new eco-friendly lifestyle movement that’s sweeping the nation. Vicki Robin, co-author o f the best­ selling Your M oney or Your Life, raves that “Jim makes living on less seem like so m uch fun that you’ll want to try it your­ self.” In this book, prom ises Merkel, I’ll find all the tools I need to give m yself “more time and more savings,” not to m ention “more responsibility, integrity and a completely new perspective on freedom .”

Fun, time, savings and freedom from the tyranny o f novelty coasters, here I come! T h e first chapter m akes it look easy.

This is my cue to crack open a cold beer (.01 acre footprint, not count­ ing the glass bottle) and confront the fact that I’m not excited by the process of taking stock.

As m y eye glides over the tchotchkes on the bedside table, I light upon an unas­ sum ing brown paperback, a recent gift from a relative who insists on using green fertilizer and carting her own trash to the dum p. T h e title catches m y eye: Radical Simplicity: S m a ll Footprints on a Finite Earth. T h e author is a Vermonter: East C orinth resident Jim Merkel.

in m y head.

I’m distracted anyway, when Merkel brings out the big guns: the numbers. Worldwide resource consum ption currently exceeds the Earth’s capacity to replenish itself by 2 0 percent. By 2 0 50, that overshoot will have risen to 88 percent. To share the Earth equitably w ithout over­ straining it, we would each have to make do with a yearly share o f 4 .7 acres’ worth o f resources, or $ 3 900. Love nature and want to set aside a chunk o f the Earth for trees and critters? Lower your share to $980.

T h e average American, by contrast, earns $ 2 9 ,2 4 0 annually and gobbles up 24 acres’ worth o f the planet’s produce. I f I want to fulfill m y N ew Year’s resolu­ tion to simplify, it seems, I’ll have to absorb a drop in living standard.

D ownsize by degrees; focus on the journey not the goal, I m utter like a m antra as I approach the meaty part o f Merkel’s book.

T h is is where you learn just how m uch o f Earth’s bounty you waste every day, where it goes, and how not to be a pig in the global, buffet line. T h e first step is to estimate your “ecological footprint” — the acreage o f Earth devoted to fulfilling your yearly needs. There’s sim ple math involved, and I conserve precious energy by using the book’s flyleaf instead o f a calculator.

M y footprint turns out to be 14.8 acres, well below the national average — though this rests in large part on iffy calls such as “ I generate m uch less

waste than m y neighbors.”

Anyway, my m om ent o f sustain­ ability holier-than-thouness is short-lived, as Merkel breezily inform s me, “ If everyone lived like you, we would need 3.2 planets.” It’s a long road ahead.

T he next step is to ditch those wim py estimates and find out how m uch o f the Earth’s bounty you really squander by calculat­ ing your “m onthly flows” and “m onthly stocks.” T h e first fig­ ure is a cinch — it’s just a ques­ tion o f recording all the Stu ff you get your hands on this m onth and use up within the next six. For instance, if you pick up four copies o f Seven Days this m onth and recycle them, you are consum ing 584 square yards, or m ore than a tenth o f an acre. D on ’t even think about that Sunday Times!

M onthly stocks are another • matter. In order to figure the ecological footprint o f every object cluttering your hom e, from the heirloom armoire down to the remains o f the dried-fruit assortm ent Aunt Linda sent you last Christm as, you have to weigh it. T h at’s right: Weigh everything, price it, and estim ate its usable life.

In a burst o f enthusiasm , I drag the food scale out o f the kitchen and weigh the first objects that com e to hand. Buffy D V D s: 1.25 pounds, $38.

Pointy-toed boots I got on sale: 2 pounds, $70. C hoosing not to have what M erkel calls a “deep encounter” with the rest o f my

possessions: priceless.

I cunningly decide that if I were to invest in a scale big enough to weigh my refrigerator, I w ould merely increase m y total footprint. Besides, I get enough o f a sustainability w orkout just by reading M erkel’s tips. “Som e [m ajor appliances] have funny weight distribution, so you m ight want to weigh the right side, then the left side and add them together.” “ I f you are excit­ ed by the process o f taking stock,” he goes on, playing ecocheerleader, “do it all in a whirl­ wind, m aking quick estim ates.”

A nd when you’re done, “Treat yourself to a long walk in the forest — you deserve it!”

T h is is my cue to crack open a cold beer (.01 acre footprint, not counting the glass bottle) and confront the fact that I’m not excited by the process o f taking stock. N o t only do I not deserve a long walk in the forest, I don’t particularly want one — it’s cold out there.

“W hy not cut to the chase?” I wonder. “ Clearly I’m a global hog. W hy not find out the worst? W hat will I have to give up i f I’m serious about sticking to m y fair share o f the Earth?”

I put away the scale and take a virtual journey to sustainability.

In a chapter called “ T h e W iseacre C hallenge,” Merkel gives us the skinny on how to live on one, three, and six acres’ worth o f S tu ff per year. T h e author him self nibbles the annu­ al equivalent o f three acres and sets his “personal sustainability »

But lets leave aside the option o f living like a “ Survivor” contestant, and will­ fully ignore the fact that 200 million people in India subsist on less. I decide to set a more m odest goal — say, a footprint o f six acres. T he prospect is brighter. O n six acres, says Merkel, I can eat a quarter o f a quart o f ice cream every m onth and q u aff a full quart o f beer, though I’ll have to stash any leftovers in a “small refrigera­ tor” that I run only “part o f the year.

But wait — I don’t. “ I excluded paid entertainment [from the budget],” Merkel explains patiently, “ based on the premise that free fun is abundant in the universe.”

I close the book and fall back into m y uneasy slumber. T h is time, upbeat soundbites from R adical Sim plicity loop through m y head. “ There are no ecopolice!” Merkel insists, when I tell him I really don’t want to ditch m y T V ju st yet. A nd when I hum bly explain that I think his idea o f “fun” is a bit m ore utilitarian than m ine, he soothes me with a reminder that “guilt, fear and anxiety won’t help.” H e’s a nice guy, and he seems confident that eventually I’ll com e around to a state o f m ind in which I’m willing to forgo em ail and cen­ tral heating.

Slipping deeper into uncon­ sciousness, I have a dream right ou t o f a dystopian novel.

SEVENDAYS I January 07-14, 2004 I featu re 2 5A

U nder President Merkel, every American citizen has pledged to live “ Frontier H ouse” -style. T he eco-cops knock on our doors daily to make sure we’re not eating meat or exceeding our allowance o f kilowatt hours from the com m unal genera­ tor. T he wonders o f nature have becom e our primary source o f entertainment, along with m eeting the chal­ lenges o f living o ff the land in a state that has a blink-andyou-missed-it growing season.

But instead o f relaxing and “ loving m y lim its,” as Merkel puts it, I find that m y sustain­ able dream-life is full o f bit­ terness and paranoia. W hen I’m not stocking the root cel­ lar and running the laundry through the handwringer, I’m obsessing over the possibility that som eone out there is still living the 24-acre high life.

D oes Bill Gates have a private generator? Is M artha Stewart hiding a stash o f nonbiodegradable household cleansers? A nd what about those one-acre folks in India?

N ow that we’ve voluntarily sim plified, is it possible they’ve decided to take u p our slack by using two or three times their share?

T h is time, waking to my room cluttered with S tu ff is an im m ense relief. I’ve “deeply encountered” m y own selfishness and realized that I can’t ditch it as easily as I can my material possessions. Sure, I m ight take som e baby steps toward sustainability, but I’ll have to accept the fact that they’ll probably be cancelled out by m y neighbor’s shiny new SUV. G rand gestures o f frugality are out o f the ques­ tion.

T hen I have a brilliant idea.

W hy not becom e a “boomeranger” — one o f those outof-work twenty- or thirtysom ethings who return to the parental hom e in order to live o ff m om and dad? I’ve heard such folks slandered as “slack­ ers” and “freeloaders,” but Merkel would see them for what they are — bold pio­ neers o f sim ple living.

W hile self-esteem issues have kept me from adopting this lifestyle so far, Radical Sim plicity has liberated me from the tyranny o f m iddleclass expectation. I f grandm a asks me where the greatgrandkids are, I’ll tell her I didn’t want to contribute to w orld population growth. If dad wants to know when I’m going to move out o f the basement, I can whip out Merkel and a calculator and show him that sharing a dwelling, T V and car dram at­ ically reduces m y ecological footprint — and his!

Stop berating s e lf fo r being a “loser” in W estem-capitalistglobalist-consumerist terms.

N ow there’s a N ew Year’s reso­ lution worth keeping. (Z) 1

revie w th is TRINITY, D AN C IN G TO FOOL TH E B U L L Y (Self-released, CD) The acoustic trio Trinity are a recent entry into the Vermont Irish bar-band sweepstakes. There are nearly a dozen "Celtic" bands vying for gigs in north­ ern Vermont, and with the notable exception of Wood's Tea Company, who tour all over the country constantly, nearly all are underemployed. Trinity deal out a mix of too-familiar songs and fiddle tunes on their debut CD, Dancing to Fool the Bully, interspers­ ing them with a few refreshing origi­ nal songs and instrumentals played on whistle, fiddle and guitar. It's a mys­ tery why they decided to include both "Little Beggarman" and "Little RedHaired Boy" on the disc — the two numbers are musically identical.

"Phoenix Lowering," a number written by the band and sung by resident fid ­ dler Katrina VanTyne, is far and away the most memorable track here, and is a good start for the group if they're interested in developing more original music. The band is celebrating with a CD release party at Burlington's Ri Ra (the home turf of Last Night's Joy, another Vermont Irish bar band) this Thursday, and at the Purple Moon Pub in Waitsfield on Friday.

M IS S Y B LY ,

CLEA N B E E

(Self-released, CD) Though Burlington rocker-gal Missy Bly's latest disc wasn't released until mid-December, its tracks were recorded way back in the summer of '01. For some reason, the official release was delayed for a painfully long time. However, even though the songs on Clean Bee are fam iliar to anyone who has followed Bly over the past few months, there's no ignoring the immaculate pop wonder of the studio disc.

Bly has long been a cultish heroine of the local scene, performing infrequently and keeping a generally low profile. Yet as a songwriter she is as good as, if not better than, the majority of area performers. With a knack for penning exquisitely odd poetry and catchy hooks, Bly is a natural pop princess.

Clean Bee is a vicious, 13-track romp that blasts by in under half an hour, yet makes a lasting impression in only seconds. The entire disc was recorded in two afternoons, with Bly playing most of the instru­ ments, aided by Creston Lea on rhythm guitar and Pascal Spengemann on drums. The majority of the album tracks were first takes, without overdubs. The spontaneity suits the songs perfectly, as the group rocks with the reckless abandon of a bar band gone wild.

Musically, songs are divided fairly equally between punchy rave-ups and brief solo gems. "The Frog" opens with jangling, lazy guitars and a beautiful, loping melody. "B illy" is a slow-motion, slinky tale of a child renegade. "River Phoenix," "Terrible Day," "She 'n' Me" and "Dracula" are all high-powered, addictive rockers with delicious hooks.

On the softer side, "Debbie Says," "Gina's Purse" and "Lion on the Loose" are introspective tracks th at are simultaneously sultry and cute.

From track to track, Clean Bee continues to amaze with its achingly sim plistic pop brilliance. The long wait has paid off: Bly and co. have crafted one of the best local records in a long while.

He’s still a one-man band of the blues-inspired power that can justly be called locomotive.”

E X H IB IT Anthony Sin i and Jo n ath an Draudt, p a in t­ in gs and sculp­ ture. Flynndog, Burlington.

Through Jan uary.

ARTW ORK "Scudo U no" by Anthony Sini

tep into the Flynndog this month and you’ll immediately meet a 6-and-a-half-foot head, carved from weathered pine. It looks more like a ritual object than a simple piece o f art. Entitled “Panama Red,” the head is the lead-off image in Warren sculptor Jonathan Draudts “Bioforms” exhibition.

Draudt gets the gallery’s floor space this month, but the walls belong to Burlington artist Anthony Sini’s “Dark Matters,” an exhibition o f two-dimensional work. They are separate but equal shows; both demon­ strate technical skill, formal veracity and natural artistic confidence.

Sini displays an eclectic collection o f more than 25 pieces. Although his range of subjects is broad, a consistent personal aes­ thetic is evident. Sini has an expressive hand, and he showcases his draftsmanship with jagged compositions and a keen eye for shifting values. There are few straight lines in this work, and transitions from light to dark afroften%brupt. §| Sini’s foundation seems to be figure drawing — his portion o f the exhibition begins with three figure studies, all charcoal drawings o f the same middle-aged female nude. There is weight to her flesh, and Sini demonstrates an awareness that the hands o f a figure are often more expressive than the face. To the left o f the drawings are four oil portraits. They comprise the strongest group o f contemporary portraits to appear in the Burlington area since last year’s Alice Neel exhibition at the Firehouse Gallery.

“Pip and Tara” is typical o f Sini’s por­ traits, with sinewy lines contouring the fig­ ures and a composition defined in wholly abstract terms. Lighter-valued hues are crowded into a broad diagonal axis from the upper right corner to lower left.

Sini makes similarly decisive decisions in his still lifes and cityscapes. The expressionistic cityscape “Falling Away” is almost apocalyptic, with a fiery sky and volatile color harmony o f yellows, reds, blacks and blue-greens.

Other tenebrous “Dark Matters” pieces include monoprints and mixed-media works on paper. “St. Paul Ascension” is a highly abstract diptych, with greens at left and reds at right. The images are obfuscat­ ed by heavy black lines, and in several pas­ sages Sini ripped into the paper with aggressive slashes o f drawing.

“Scudo Two,” a monoprint in primary colors and black and white, features a cen­ tral male figure ascending from an inferno.

However, as with “St. Paul Ascension,” the image is far from obvious. Soldo literally means “shield” in Italian, but a scudo was also a unit o f currency. Sini is probably the only one who really knows its meaning in the context o f that dark, mystical, looming figure.

Draudt’s “bioform” carved wooden sculptures have more than a touch o f surre­ alism. “Tree o f Life: Prime” is a 10-foot carving full o f curved forms. It is more bul­

bous at its base, and rounded forms cluster near the top. They are like seedpods or breasts, and are reminiscent o f the rounded shapes that were a favorite lsu " o f first-generation Surrealist Jean Arp. Though Draudt works on a larger scale, his pieces achieve similar liveliness by balancing large against small and posi­ tive against negative.

“Grass” is like the oversized blades o f grass that might be found in a dream.

Its 11 blades are up to about 10 feet tall, and are suspended to within a few inches above the gallery floor. Since they are hanging, they have an almost imperceptible movement.

“Hollow Log” is a horizontal suspended piece, the tubular form o f a log about 3 feet in diameter and perhaps 5 feet long. It, too, calmly hangs in the air, as if buoyed by the negative space within the log.

Even Draudt’s more geometric forms are biomorphic. “Spiralesque” is a human-scale conical piece, like a microbe writ large. It is vertical and gently curves as it moves upward toward a pointed apex. The sculpture stands on a messy circle o f white sand, which seems to connect it to the ground only tenu­ ously.

Draudt and Sini appear to approach each artwork with fresh eyes; neither restates his thesis a d infinitum, as so many contemporary artists seem com___ pelled to do. Sini presents two portfolios; bright, naturalistic works for public consumption, and the angst-filled darker pieces rich with personal allusions.

Draudt’s sculptures exhibit a consistent technique that nevertheless allows his vision great plasticity.

This tandem show is a triumphant kick-off for 2004 at the Flynndog.

Curators Bren Alvarez and David Farrington have set an appropriately high standard for the Vermont visual art scene. Let’s hope it’s not all downhill from here, except at the state’s ski resorts. ®

L O V E IN BLO O M McGregor woos his w ife-to-be in the w onderful new film from Tim Burton.

ife, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover my mother told me as a boy (repeatingly) ‘Ever to con­ fess you’re bored means you have no Inner Resources.’”

— Dream Song #14, John Berryman Edward Bloom, the charismatic spinner o f ripping yarns at the center o f Tim Burtons wonderful new film, ranks among the most remarkable movie characters to appear in years. In attempting to provide a context and motive for his embellishments, review­ ers have invoked everything from the southern tradition o f tall tales, folk fables and Homer to ancient mytholo­ gy, but I think Berryman’s poem hits the nail sufficiently close to the head.

Born with inner resources to burn and understanding that most people’s lives could use a dash or two o f spice, Bloom regards it his gentlemanly duty to reinvent the world as a place richer in possibility, poetry and outright magic for their pleasure. As sort o f a public service.

Based on the best-selling novel by Daniel Wallace, Big Fish features fault­ less performances from Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney as younger and older incarnations o f the character. As reinterpreted for the screen by writer John August, the story is propelled by a grown son’s

>

(Billy Crudup) exasperated search for the truth behind his father’s largerthan-life story.

Finney, we learn, is pretty much on his death bed, and Crudup, who works in Paris as a journalist, has returned home with his French bride to make peace with and get to the bottom of his old man, a garrulous charmer whose tales he’s heard more than a few too many times. Through a variety of devices, the viewer is regaled with Bloom’s odyssey, and most o f the movie consists o f its reinaction in flashback.

Think The Arabian Nights meets Grimms Fairy Tales with just a touch o f Forrest Gump and The Wizard o f Oz tossed in for good measure. If he’s to be believed, Bloom’s journey was extraordinary from the start. Expelled from his mother like a pudgy cannon­ ball, he later underwent such a med­ ical marvel o f a growth spurt that he was forced to spend three years sus­ pended in a bizarre hammock-like contraption — which Burton clearly had a field day realizing — while his bones and muscles adjusted to one another. During this confinement he absorbed the entire World Book Encyclopedia, nurturing a wanderlust that would take him far from his hometown o f Ashton, Alabama.

As he looks back on his days, color­ ful encounters with giants, a one-eyed witch, a werewolf, conjoined Korean twin singers, a mermaid and a bank­

and Rick Moranis are among the voices

robbing poet take a back seat to his most significant adventure, the meet­ ing, wooing and winning o f his wife, played by Alison Lohman and Jessica Lange. For all its phantasmagoria and fantasy, Burton’s latest turns out to be a love story, and a singularly touching one at that.

Which is one o f the reasons Big Fish may very well be the best film the director has made. I’m not sure Burton has ever struck so assured a Balance between visual invention and the exploration o f mature, warm­ blooded themes. On the heels o f artis­ tic travesties such as M ars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow and Planet o f the Apes, a simple return to form would have been cause for celebration. An achieve­ ment o f this magnitude is a stunning and extremely pleasant surprise.

And its many surprises should be left for audiences to discover. So suf­ fice it to say that everything from August’s script to Danny Elfman’s score is unimprovable. The cast, which also includes Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, Robert Guillaume, Danny DeVito and Matthew McGrory — who really does have the world’s most gigantic feet, according to Guinness — is uniformly winning.

The tale the film tells may be the tallest to hit screens in some time, but there’s no shortage o f human truth in it. Big Fish, believe me, is one you shouldn’t let get away. ®

fter the frenzy o f a holiday season, life always seems to settle into a long win­ ter snooze. It’s no different at the movies. Many o f the Thanksgiving and Christmas releases, most aimed at Oscar consideration, are still playing in local theaters. But new motion pic­ tures that begin arriving this month may be less than exceptional.

So what better time to showcase worthy older fare or recent produc­ tions way off the beaten path o f com­ mercial viability? Several upcoming events will offer Vermonters a cine­ matic alternative to hibernation:

H IRSCH FIELD FILM /VIDEO SER IES (3 and 8 p.m., Saturdays; Dana Auditorium, Middlebury College; 443-6433).

January 10 — D ivine In terv en tion , director Elia Suleimans minimalist tragicomic take on the clash between Palestinians and Israelis.

January 24 — A ll th e R eal G irls, about a guy with a roving eye who might finally find lasting love in his rural Southern hometown.

February 14 — R ab b it P ro o f Fence, Phillip Noyce’s retelling o f a true Australian story about three Aboriginal girls who escape from a racist detention camp in the |930s.

February 21 — T alk to H er, a campy

N O

H H but tender romantic tangle with gender-bending twists from Spains Pedro Almodovar.

March 6 — A d ap tatio n , a caution­ ary tale about screenwriting with Nicolas Cage as double-trouble twins.

March 13 — S ecre tary , featuring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhall in a boss-employee relationship that would have thrilled the Marquis de Sade, not to mention Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

WORLD CINEMA SER IES (4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays; Savoy Theater, Montpelier; 229-0509).

January 10 & 11 — H arvest, a contro­ versial 1939 French classic about a peasant wheat farmer and his appren­ tice whose passion for each other rivals only their love o f the land.

January 17 & 18 — The Son , which centers on a Belgian carpentry instructor who discovers a sorrowful personal link with a new student at his vocational training school.

January 24 & 25 — City o f God, about the systemic violence that robs kids in the Rio de Janeiro slums o f their childhood.

January 31 & February 1 — D racu la: P a g e s fro m a V irgin 's D iary, a Royal Winnipeg Ballet 1 interpretation o f Bram Stoker’s vampire novel.

February 7 & 8 — The B ig A n im al, a fable about the resentments that

arise in a small Polish town when a middle-aged couple adopts an aban­ doned circus camel.

February 14 & 15 — In This World, a fictional film with a documentary feel that focuses on the perilous journey o f two Afghan refugees seeking a better life in Europe.

February 21 & 22 — Ten, in which noted Iranian director Abbas Kiorastami traces the myriad experi­ ences o f a divorcee driving across the city o f Tehran.

February 28 & 29 — T ibet, Cry o f th e Snow Lion , a documentary on the history and culture o f the Himalayan nation, with Martin Sheen narrating and Susan Saran­ don, Tim Robbins and Ed Harris providing voiceover translations.

ESTROGEN FEST (various times, February 28 to March 2; FlynnSpace, Burlington; 660-4848). Some of the shorts, documentaries and features:

February 28 — L ife, L ib erty & th e P u rsu it o f H ap p in ess, about the issue o f choice in the struggle for reproductive rights; M annke M an jeere, which follows a battered wife in India who becomes a taxi driver; The Grrly Show , a look at the girl zine scene with a postmod­ ern feminist kick; The D ay I B ecam e a W oman, about three disenfranchised Iranians struggling for freedom.

March 1 — Women Who M ade th e

9

M ovies, a chronicle o f early female filmmakers such as Ida Lupino and Leni Riefenstahl; W hat a G irl W ants, with 11 youngsters from different backgrounds expressing their views on the media and its impact on their lives; H istory L e sso n s, a witty examination o f gay pride through archival photographs and footage; F ire, Deepa Mahta’s drama about a traditional New Delhi family in flux.

March 2 — The V agina C onspiracy, a narrative comedy about the stereotypes o f body image, sexuality and gender roles; The B u s B arn s P ro ject, which observes Burlington resident Hannah Dennison’s site-specific dance-theater performance explor­ ing various aspects o f a local real estate development; A nd th e Fence Cam e T um bling Down, about the 20-year effort by women trying to close a U.S. military base housing cruise missiles; S en o rita E x tra v ia d a , an expose about the hundreds o f women raped and killed in Juarez, Mexico.

If watching images on a big screen has more appeal than skiing down a slope, perhaps you share the wry out­ look o f author Walker Percy. “The fact is I am quite happy in a movie, even a bad movie,” he wrote in 1961. “Other people, so I have read, treasure memo­ rable moments in their lives.” ®

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to

predict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them —

how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or

what’s inside them.)

Meanwhile, she forgot about the roast duck until it was, in a word, CHARRED. So she resorted to her Aunt MAY'S recipe for squash-and-pumpkin dumplings.

After jogging for the brutally long distance of one-half mile, Fannie was BEAT. She relaxed by making a vodka martini and listening to John CALE. "LET US entertain you," said her three British suitors simultaneously.

One of them, Floyd Lloyd, said "Oh Fannie, where have you’ BEEN a ll my life?"

'SHATTERED GLASS': This film te lls th e tru e sto ry o f a jo u r n a list who works his way up th e ranks a t th e New Republic w riting phony

W h en I s p i e d th e p ile o f f r e e c o n d o m s a n d d e n t a l d a m s on a table in the Co-op's front hall, I knew I was in for a good time. Billed as a

fundraiser for groups working for sodal change, this event promised to livpn up the usual earnest political appeals with real, live belly dancers.

I glanced at the tables full of propaganda — petitions from GE Free Vermont opposing genetically engineered crops, pamphlets from Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom (VARF) and, of course, the free birth control from the Center for Reproductive Freedom. Good causes all, but frankly, my mind was elsewhere. "Woohoo!" I thought as I took my seat. "Bring on the bellies!" I had never seen belly dancers before, and was, urn, intellectually curious.

When the first dancers filed out to the drummers' rhythmic beat, I feared I would be disappointed. Out of five dancers swaying before me, I count­ ed only two tummies. The other three were all covered up. 'Take it off!" I wanted to shout. But I didn't. The MC explained that there would be several dancers, so I waited patiently for the next troupe. '* ■ t But when the six dancers from Moca School of New World Dance stepped into the light, I saw that all of them wore prim, ankle-length skirts topped with long-sleeved shirts and matching lace aprons. Monica, the group leader, explained that they would be doing the dance of the "Divine Mother," while calling out the Kali chant. "What the hell kind of New Age crap is this?" I thought. "Where are the bellies?"

I needn't have worried. After a short break, the six dancers reappeared for the "Veil Dance," bearing billowy scarves held above their heads. Their new costumes consisted of sequined bikini tops and long, shimmering skirts bedecked with colorful sashes, and strings of small silver disks that jangled when they swayed their hips. The waistlines of their skirts dipped enchantingly low. So low, in fact, that I was almost too embarrassed to look. When the dancers arched forward, shaking their shoulders, the standing-room-only crowd yipped and cheered. Who knew these PC activists could be so bawdy?

Tip to local organizers: There was a sizable pile of bills in the cash box when I left.

Did you hear about the new birth control pill?

I’m part of a research study for a new investigational birth control pill that doesn't contain steroids so there may be fewer side effects and potential benefits to more women.

I qualified and will receive all study-related care including physical examinations, laboratory services, and investigational medication.

And here's the best part. I am helping research, and getting compensated for taking part.

It’s great for students, stay at home moms and women with flexible schedules like me.

As long as you are healthy, under 36 years old, have regular menstrual cycles and not currently taking a hormonal contraceptive, you may qualify too.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, Where to begin? My fiance does not enjoy giving oral sex, which would seem to be all right since I do not enjoy getting it.

However, I don't enjoy it due to a traumatic experience with it a few years back. I would like to get over my phobia and enjoy this wonderful act, but my fiance is rather unenthused by the hair and the taste. As he put it he "is not a fan of bleu cheese dressing."

And that is how he describes the taste. What am I to do?

Befuddled in Burlington Dear Befuddled, Where to begin, indeed. How about with your fiance? To talk to another person the way he does — especially a lover, and all the more so a lover for whom the topic in question is traumatic — shows extreme tactlessness and insensitivity at best, and at worst out-and-out cruelty. I'll bet this isn't the only instance in which he acts like a prick. I'd be pretty tempted to dump the bastard. But whether or not you can stomach that idea, you need to take care of yourself. Double-check your personal hygiene, and get a doctor to certify your vaginal health. Then find a counselor to help you get over the past so you can have fun eating out — with whomever.

Love, Lola

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The

some place in your life that needs a comparable touch of prankish levity, Gemini? Any overly dignified or formal environment that could use the healing touch of a gentle lampoon?

astrological omens say its a favorable time for you to seek greater exposure and get yourself noticed. But there are relatively bad ways and good ways to proceed. Do not, for example, distribute nude photos of yourself over the Internet, proclaim your mad love for an unavailable genius in a full-page news­ paper ad or bust up a meeting with a screaming tirade about how brilliant your ideas are and how stupid everyone elses are. Instead, try this: Spruce up your physical appearance, stoke your charisma, improve your packaging and hire a marketing consultant.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

The oldest woman to have a numberone pop song was Deborah Harry, born under the sign of Cancer. She conquered the UK charts with “Maria” when she was 53 years old. The world’s oldest astronaut was another Crab, John Glenn, who flew on the space shuttle when he was 77. Now you, too, have a chance to make history through success in an activity that most people might regard as impossible or inappropriate for someone your age. Don’t let anyone shame you into shrinking from the chal­ lenge, whether you’re 25 and thinking of entering a bubble-gum blowing contest or 65 and considering the possibility of windsurfing down the Amazon River.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Sixty-six-year-old Taurus actor Jack Nicholson is a paragon of receptivity.

“I’m dying to have my mind changed,” he told Esquire magazine. “I’m probably the only liberal who read Treason, by Ann Coulter. I like listening to every­ body. This is the elixir of life.”

Nicholson’s refreshing declaration should be your words to live by in the next couple of weeks, Taurus: It’s your astrological season of expansion and experimentation. Don’t just grudgingly agree to open your eyes and have your theories challenged. Learn to love the uncanny stretching sensation.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I really like a lot about “Suga Suga,” a song by hiphop artist Baby Bash. The rhythm is crafty, the lead guitar line tasty and the chorus melody infectious. I love Baby Bash’s sinuous rap cadences and Franky J ’s gorgeous singing. The lyrics of “Suga Suga,” on the other hand, are vapid and vulgar. And the video of the song is (May 21-June 20): I morally idiotic, depicting men leering at believe you should draw your inspira­ a succession of surgically sculpted tion this week from the British graffiti women who dress and preen like artist Bansky.

Pope Jean Paul II has canonized 477 new saints, exceeding the total of the last 86 popes combined. His secret? Previously, candidates had to have performed three miracles, whereas now it’s two at most.

Other saint-makers have been inspired by the Pope’s example. The Church of the Subgenius is creating an average of 2100 new saints per year (non-Catholic variety), while the Discordians are close behind with 1875. I’m embarrassed to say that my own faith, the Temple of Sacred Uproar and Rowdy Blessings, has been lagging far behind — until now, that is. In honor of the miraculous feats of beauty, truth and love that “Free Will Astrology’-reading Virgos have been pulling off lately, I hereby bestow saint­ hood on every one of you. You may here­ after put a “St.” in front of your name.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Accountants are experts about money that doesn’t belong to them. A scholar may read the texts of mystical spiritual traditions but not be able to enter into the sublime states of consciousness described therein. Please refrain from getting into a relationship like this with the resources you need, Libra. Don’t just study them; own them. Seek upclose experiential immersion, not con­ ceptual understanding from a distance.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Creativity comes in a wide variety of forms, from the unruly originality of an avant-garde music composer to the bril­ liant tactics of a 4-year-old manipulating his parents into buying him more toys.

The creativity you will specialize in dur­ ing the coming weeks, Scorpio, is a cross between that of an engineer building bridge over a steep gorge and a gadfly who prods two ancient enemies into sit­

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In hopes of helping you fully claim the rising levels of goodies and selfconfidence that are now available, I urge you to sing or chant the follow­ ing rant 10 times a day for the next two weeks. “All I ever wanted in life was to make a difference, be wor­ shipped like a god, conquer the uni­ verse, travel the world, meet interest­ ing people, find the missing link, fight the good fight, live for the moment, seize each day, make a for­ tune, know what really matters, end world hunger, vanquish the dragon, be super popular but too cool to care, be master of my own fate, embrace my destiny, feel as much as I can feel, give too much and love everything.” (Thanks to Tatsuya Ishida at www.sinfest.com for dream­ ing up this set of affirmations.)

18): In a recent speech, “ Boondocks” comic strip creator Aaron McGruder said that if liberals want to regain power in America, they’ll have to learn to be meaner. Leftist singersongwriter Ani DiFranco echoed the theme in an interview in Indie Culture magazine. “It’s our job to help and inspire each other,” she mused, “but I don’t think that all my songs have to be about nature and children and love and hugging. There are ways of helping people by express­ ing anger.” I almost always advise you to err on the side of compassion and kindness, Aquarius. But this is a per­ fect moment to take McGruder’s and DiFranco’s words to heart. It’s crucial that you find ways to creatively and constructively channel your sacred rage at what’s wrong in your world.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Following Castro’s revolution in 1959, 11-year-old Carlos Eire was exiled forever from his beloved home­ land of Cuba. Raised in America, he became a Yale professor, but never lost his yearning for paradise lost. His recent memoir, Waitingfor Snow in Havana ', recounts his cherished memo­ ries. “In the past 38 years,” he wrote, “I’ve seen 8917 clouds in the shape of the island of Cuba.” What’s your equivalent, Capricorn? A missing treas­ ure you’re reminded of whenever you gaze upon the ripples in a lake? A fugi­ tive dream that floats across your mind’s eye as you’re falling asleep? I predict you will be united with it in 2004. A crucial pointer will arrive soon. Watch the clouds.

SAGITTARIUS <nov

22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian Pudge Rodriguez is one of the best catchers in professional baseball. Last October, he played a major role in helping the Florida Marlins win the World Series.

His contract expired at the end of the season, however, and he was insulted when the Marlins proposed a future salary of only $8 million per year, a 20 percent reduction from the $10 mil­ lion he earned in 2003. He rejected the Marlins’ offer, and made his servic­ es available to other teams. Though I admire his fierce pride, I urge the rest of you Sagittarians to be less demand­ ing. If you’re offered 8 million of any­ thing— hugs, gold stars, M&Ms, dol­ lars — instead of the 10 million you wanted, definitely take the 8 million.

M itsu b ish i L an cer E volution After dozens o f wins on the World Rally Cham pionship (W RC) circuit and a quartet o f m an­ ufacturer titles, Mitsubishi has finally bestowed its Lancer Evolution upon a benighted American public in 2003. We are benighted no longer. It may have taken 271 turbocharged horsepower and 273 torque ft.-lbs. to open our eyes, but Mitsubishi’s all-wheeldrive Evo makes a magnificent case for racings exis­ tence as a laboratory to improve the breed. T h at’s because W R C racing pits cars, drivers and navigators against the real world o f mud and snow and rocks and hills and terrifying precipices; and whoever breaks, crashes, falls, rolls-over and argues with the navigator least usually crosses the finish-line first.

The eighth-generation Evo is a direct descendant o f M itsu’s actual rally racer. Aluminum front fenders and an aluminum hood, plus a techie carbon-fiber baskethandle o f a rear wing contribute to an athletic curb weight o f 3,263 lbs. Acceleration is explosive — five seconds for zero-to-60 launches. Redline sprints through backroads feel like strafes aboard laser-guided ordnance. I can’t remember when I have enjoyed screaming horsepower, nose-bleed braking and shoul­ der-banging centrifiigal force anywhere nearly as much.

For a base price o f $ 28,987, Evo the VIII is well within M ight-Could-Sw ing-It range on the day­ dream scale. Brace yourself for certain absences o f creature com fort, however, such as a cushy ride and sound insulation — and yet, for the motorsports ascetic, there’s also a stripped-down budget-

CHfTTENOEN COUNTY ■ TRANSPORTATION THAM1 AUTHORITY ■ ■ AUTHC

level Evo RS that dispenses with anything sissy like power windows, air-conditioning, even A BS for the brakes. In full, glorious trim, however, M itsu’s Evo V III is about as close as it gets to cavorting with the furies without subm itting to the lashing.

S u b aru Im p reza WRX STi Look uo farther than Subaru’s Impreza W R X ST i to find an honest-to-goodness rally cham p on the streets. For 2 0 03, Subaru ace Petter Solberg, o f Spydeburg, Norway, sewed up the individual dri­ ver’s cham pionship in a 300-hp rally car within just a few details o f being identical to the 300-hp, 300-ft.-lb. ST i available to us civvies.

There’s something ego-reinforcing about shaving the whiskers o ff five seconds in zero-to-60 spurts. The gnomes at Subaru Tecnica International have thought o f everything: 2.5-liters o f turbo-intercooled power; symmetrical all-wheel-drive with an adjustable center differential; big beautiful Brembo disk brakes peeking out from behind 17-in. gold BBS wheels.

The STi posts an Evo-identical curb weight o f 3,263 lbs. Significandy, however, it is three inches shorter in wheelbase. This fact combines with notice­ ably different suspension tuning to produce markedly dissimilar handling. For Spyde-man, Subaru clearly has the winning edge; for Steng-boy, there was much less confidence-nurturing behavior at the ragged edge o f 300-hp while tight-roping through blind corners.

It’s apparent that the limited-edition STi is a car that chooses its buyers, rather than the other way around. Despite an as-tested price o f $31,545, it, too, is sold virtually bereft o f cozy accessories like a radio (although dealer-installed optional sound systems are available). The point, I suppose, is that rallyboys o f the club-racing set are the ones ogling the STi for next year’s competition season. I’ve already poured money down that hole in a former life. Now in my proto-dotage, I don’t mind a little music now and then while I’m driving, and I certainly don’t need anything like a high-hp freak-out shocking my hair white any faster than it’s becoming already.
