IRAQ ANNIVERSARY As the father of a son who is a Marine, and now back in Iraq for the second time, I urge patriotic Vermonters to mark this coming March 20th, the anniversary day of the illegal invasion, through some visible personal action. If you believe that President Bush’s “pre-emptive strike and uni lateral action”-based foreign policy is immoral, act on that. If you are con cerned about the 3000-plus injured American soldiers, the 8000-plus Iraqi civilians killed and the thou sands injured, as well as the awful environmental destruction, do some thing, please. Join any number of the numer ous activities going on March 20th, including the Vermont Boycott for Peace, which is demonstrating against companies who make major political contributions to supporters of President Bush’s war. Won’t it be a great day when the U.S. spends as much on finding ways of presenting wars as it spends to kill, mostly civilians, in illegal wars?

CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND President Bush has done litde to improve education in America [“Letters,” March 10]. His “No Child Left Behind” Act does little to help kids learn and puts parents in the back seat when it comes to their children’s education. The “No Child Left Behind” Act sets high standards for student per formance and does not provide the resources needed to meet them. Some of the funds from the Act go toward efforts to retain high-quality teachers. However, the mandated tests and paperwork involved in meeting the requirements of the act make it harder, not easier, to retain those teachers. Teachers spend hours “teaching the test,” rather than edu cating our children to be critical thinkers. Local control is another crucial aspect of education reform. However, an under funded federal mandate is not about local control. Do we need Washington to tell us how to educate our kids? I think not. Local School Boards are doing a fine job. If they aren’t, we, the voters can use tfe ballot box to remove them. The “No Child Left Behind” Act leaves parents and local school offi cials with no recourse but to direct resources where they will do the most towards meeting this-mandate with no choice about the impact on

the good of their students. The law gives parents the right to transfer their kids out of failing or unsafe schools and into better schools. This will only lead to more students being crammed into already overcrowded schools, and the failing schools will lose revenues that could help them improve: Is this a rational way to deal with schools that need help to educate their students? This issue is just one more exam ple of how our President is not pro viding the courageous leadership American students need.

REEL PASSION? I agree 100 percent [“Film Review,” March 3]. [ The Passion of the Christ is a] movie that focuses on brutality at the expense of spiritual truth.

BON VOYAGE This is something I just have to get off my chest because it’s gotten my goat. I was not very surprised about the “succession from Vermont” vote by the rich capitalistic people of Killington [“Newcomb,” March 10], You know what? To these people I say, “Take your property and move on out across the border to New Hampshire.” True and proud Vermonters do not need their kind here, anyhow. So, get out of , Vermont! You can’t take our land and mountains with you. Good rid dance and bye bye! Thanks.

CHARACTER WITNESS A recent letter from Wallingford describes Bush as “a man of charac ter, backbone, and honor” [“Letters,” March 3] — what a joke! Martha Stewarts conviction for lying and obstruction creates the false impres sion that the stock market is a level playing field and the Bush adminis tration is serious about curtailing insider trading and corporate crime. When Bush was a board director on the audit committee of Harken Oil and Gas, he dumped all of his stock at a tidy profit of $835,000 just eight days before the audit committee

reported huge losses, causing the stock price to plummet. He claimed to have “no idea” (lying?). Dad Bush was presi dent then, and the SEC decided to look the other way (obstruction?). And where is Bushs personal friend and largest campaign contributor, Ken Lay, the Enron CEO who teamed with Cheney to write Bushs oil-based “ener gy policy” in 2001 as al Qaeda plotted? While not inventing corruption, the Bush administration has brought it to a new and odious level, as can be seen in the frequent and shameful revelations of bribery, kickbacks, and gouging by no-bid contractor, Halliburton. This

administration is like the mafia; it does not create wealth, it just feeds on it like a parasite.

WORD CHOICE I hate to sound like I’m splitting hairs, given that Ken Picard’s heart was clearly in the right place (read: pro-choice) when he wrote his “Local Matters” column on abortion [March 3], but I have to take issue with his word choice in the second paragraph. Semantics are important; his phrasing in this case perpetuates

hotographer Peter Huoppi’s Sunday front page shot of Taylor Coppenrath shooting a jumper in UVM ’s championship victory over Maine is our nominee for Photo of the Year! If ever a picture told a thousand words, this is the one. That’s because of all the VIP faces in the center-court stands behind Coppenrath. The faces jumped off the page. Anyone familiar with Montpeculiar’s finest saw a gaggle of lawmakers and state officials enjoying the biggest b-ball game in UVM history. There were the mugs of Sens. Vince IUuzzi, Bill Doyle, John Bloomer and

Jim Condos.

Also in the shot, Administration Secretary Mike Smith, U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords, Rep. Dick Marron, Rep. Howard Crawford, Human Services Secretary Charlie Smith and Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. We weren’t surprised because, last week at the Statehouse, it was a poorly kept secret that UVM ’s “lobbyists” Karen Meyer and Gretchen Babcock had been dangling free tickets to the big game in front of key lawmakers, especially those who sit on committees that hand out money to the university. Under the Golden Dome, Karen and Gretchen serve as Fogel’s Angels, as in UVM President Dan Fogel. Meyer is UVM ’s vice president for state and federal relations. Babcock is the university’s direc tor of governmental relations. Under state law, gifts from lobbyists to legislators valued at $5 or more must be reported. We checked the information on the Vermont Secretary of State’s website and learned that not only do UVM lobby ists not report gifts to lawmakers, UVM ’s “lobbyists” aren’t even registered! That’s odd, we thought, since Karen and Gretchen are Statehouse regulars. UVM receives about 9.6 percent of its budget — about $36 million — from the taxpayers of Vermont. Still, most of the undergradu ates come from out of state. As Monday’s Lake Champlain Chamber legislative breakfast broke up, yours truly cornered Ms. Babcock, a copy of Sunday’s Freeps in hand. Why aren’t you and Karen registered as lobbyists? Because, replied Gretchen, UVM is an “instrumentality” of the state and exempted from lobbyist registration. She’s right. Under Title 2 Sec. 262 there is, indeed, an exemption for “a duly-elected or appointed official or employee of the United States, the state of Vermont, or of any instrumentality, agency or governmen tal subdivision of the foregoing.” Cool. It also means that gifts from UVM ’s non-registered “lobbyists,” like receptions, dinners and $23 basketball tickets, are not reportable in Vermont, though they are in some states. More on that later. Then, just as we’re about to ask Ms. Babcock for a list of all the folks who got free tickets, veteran Burlington Free Press writer Candace Page slid up alongside us. We bit our tongue. But Candy made it clear she was inter ested in exactly the same subject — the

VIPs who made the front-page picture on Sunday. “Be careful what you wish for,” we said to Ms. Page. “W hat do you mean?” she asked. We took the tip of our pen and pointed to the mug of her distinguished newspaper’s Editorial Page Editor David Awbrey, visi ble at Coppenrath’s right elbow. Candy’s eyes, apparently, aren’t as good as they used to be. Nonetheless, Ms. Page wrote a story that appeared Tuesday headlined “UVM gives game tickets to VIPs.” And in the 20th paragraph she reported: “Free Press Editorial Page Editor David Awbrey also accepted free tickets. Awbrey said Monday he will repay the university for them. Awbrey said he thought he had been offered the tickets because of his wife’s friendship with Rachel Kahn-Fogel, the president’s wife. ‘I’m so naive,’ he said. ‘I didn’t see it as part of the job thing.’” So “naive?” The editorial page editor of Vermont’s largest daily newspaper? Next he’ll be claiming victimhood. if # The fact is, ethics in journalism has been all the rage for the past decade. Take The New York Times-. “Staff members may not accept gifts, tickets, discounts, reim bursements or other inducements from any individual organization covered by the Times or likely to be covered by the TimesT How about the Chicago Tribune? “Staff members should not accept free tickets to an event for personal enjoyment, nor ‘special offers’ aimed at members of the news media.” Surely Gannett Inc., the media giant that owns Burlington’s out-of-town daily and 99 more like it, has ethical guidelines? Some may recall that about a decade ago, the use of a press ID to gain admission to a UVM basketball game was one of the charges cited by Freeps management in the firing of City Hall reporter Paul Teetor. In her Tuesday story, Ms. Page quoted her boss, Executive Editor Mike Townshend, saying the Freeps does have an ethics policy that states, “as a general rule, don’t accept gifts.” In fact, on Tuesday Townshend con firmed for Seven Days what Freeps employees have told us — that they have to sign the ethics code on an annual basis. No doubt, a few of those ranked lower than the presti gious editorial page editor wonder if they could skate like Awbrey by merely declaring their naivete and paying for the free tickets. Asked if further action might be taken in Awbrey’s case, Townshend replied, “I’m looking into it.” Happy looking, Mike. Awbrey did not return the message we left on his voice mail. Perfectly understand able. He’s in a tough spot, made tougher by the role he plays as the newspaper’s opinion leader. Surely it’s coincidental, and in no way, shape or form related to his two free centercourt tickets for the America East champi onship, but the morning of the game, the paper’s lead editorial was little more than IN S ID E TR A C K »

From the surveillance video, police determined that while trying to escape, the intruder slammed face-first into a door, then lost his balance and fell. When he couldn’t get out the window he had used to break in, he heaved a bag with the stolen items through the window. The liquor bottles broke.

Among the items taken were uniform patches, chunks of marble, an elevator wheel, airplane spare tires, a fire-truck door, four police cruiser doors, melted guns, airplane pieces, lampposts, street signs, eight American flags, a World Trade Center observation deck plate and a Tiffany globe. A confidential report by the department’s inspector general noted that one Oklahoma-based agent hauled away about 80 tons of material. Labeling the incidents “ghoulish,” Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III, “Many... agents, including supervisors, participated in or condoned what I can only describe as grave-robbing.” • Accused of stealing items from the wreckage of the World Trade Center, retired New York City firefighter Samuel

Burns sentenced Kaichen to only four years in prison. “It’s clear this defendant was acting under significant mental dis abilities,” the judge said, “triggered by her horrendous experience at Ground Zero.”

Suspicion Confirmed A new govern ment survey determined that Kentucky leads the nation in toothless old people. West Virginia ranks second. According to statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 42 percent of Kentucky residents 65 and older, roughly 213,000 people, have lost their permanent teeth.

Roll Back the Odometer While driving from Washington state to Ohio, truck driver Raymond Mattes, 53, stopped in Missoula, Montana, to pick up his second safe-driving award for logging a million

miles without an accident. He was a few miles west of the company that was hold ing the award when a speeding sport utili ty vehicle skidded out of control and ran Mattes’s rig off the road into an embank ment. Mattes suffered a crushed vertebrae and received his award in the hospital.

accused Paul Beyl, 40, a pastor of the Wonderboom Evangelical Reformed Church in Pretoria, of faking his own kid napping so he could spend time at a casino and entertainment complex south of Johannesburg. His absence prompted a three-day search, which cost the city $70,370-in “wasted man hours and wear and tear on the vehicles and helicopters,” according to police commissioner Amon Mashigo, who said the city would bill Beyl for the manhunt. • Police Chief John Lane of Porter, Indiana, proposed making out-of-towners who crash their cars on two U.S. highways in the town pay for the time that officers devote to the accidents. A half-hour spent at the scene of a property-damage accident and writing up the report could cost $101, Lane said, explaining that a private compa ny in Ohio would be hired to bill the insurance companies of motorists at fault. • Maryland officials proposed using private donations to pay about 500 nonviolent parolees and probationers $10 to $25 a month not to commit crimes. After the Maryland Coalition Against Crime said the proposal would make Maryland the “laughingstock of the country,” officials withdrew it. “We are going to look at other approaches for providing positive reinforcement,” Judith Sachwald, director of the state parole and probation depart ment, said, “but I don’t think it will be cash rewards.” ®

place since then, other than the sur rounding sailfish and catam arans at the Lake C ham plain C o m m u n ity Sailing Center, the graffiti th at decorates the structure’s northern flank and the pigeons and seagulls th at have taken up residence inside. But the M oran plant could start gen erating a new kind o f energy soon if T im Rollings’ vision for the space becomes a reality. T h e president and C E O o f the G reater Burlington YM CA, w ho came on the job about a year ago, has been eyeballing the property as a possible new hom e for the nonprofit athletic club. A nd while discussions w ith the city are still in their prelim inary stages, Rollings is excited about all the benefits such a partnership could offer. For its part, the G reater Burlington Y M CA has long wrestled w ith lim ita tions o f space, parking and accessibility at its current dow ntow n location, a for m er d o rm itory w ith lots o f stairwells b ut few options for expansion or upgrades. A lthough renovating the existing build ing is still a possibility, the Y really needs m ore breathing room if it w ants to con tinue attracting new m em bers and offer additional services to current m em bers. T h e M oran facility, says Rollings, is “front and center” am ong the urban options. M oving the Y into the M oran plant w ould fit the city’s overall plans for w aterfront redevelopm ent, according to M ichael M onte, director o f the C o m m u n ity and Econom ic D evelopm ent Office. U nlike other potential site occupants, the Y w ould help fulfill the city’s long-term goal to create m ore indoor public recreational space. A nd it w ould com plem ent nearby facilities, such as the E C H O C enter, the

skateboard park, the bike path and the sailing center. “I can’t th ink o f a better fit,” says Rollings, w ho also sees the Y becom ing som ething o f a hub for Burlington’s recreational and health infrastructure. For example, the building could co n tin ue to house the sailing center, as well as host cycling and running groups. In the summer, the Y could take advantage o f lake access to offer public-sw im m ing instruction, and in the winter, skating. T h en there’s the green space just to the north, perfect for playing fields, or ten nis courts. Rollings can also picture the YM CA team ing up w ith a health-care facility like Fletcher Allen to offer on-site well ness services such as cholesterol screen ing, cardiac rehab and physical therapy. It’s a partnership m odel th at’s worked at other YMCAs around the cpuntry, Rollings says, and one that tlould cer tainly be done here, too. O f course, it’s still n o t clear w hether this space can be m ade to work. O n the “con” side, the M oran site doesn’t offer m any m ore parking options than the Y’s current location. A nd the building’s inte rior needs significant renovation, to say the least. “It’s like a seven-story chicken coop inside,” Rollings says. “It’s really kind o f am azing.” Additionally, the ground floor is prone to flooding because it is below lake level m uch o f the year. O n the “pro” side, the building was constructed to w ithstand the enorm ous stress o f generating turbines, so from a structural point o f view, it can handle virtually anything the Y could kick up. Also, M onte points o ut that m ost o f the necessary environm ental rem ediation already has been taken care of. N either asbestos nor lead contam ination is an issue. “T h e biggest ‘environm ental’ issue,” he notes, “is that we have a lot o f pigeons inside.” G uano happens.

Dear Cecil, I workedfor severalyears doing construction in arctic vil lages in Alaska. When Ifirst got there I heard a story about how when Tupperware started making the rounds in rural Alaska the Yupik women used it to makefermented seal oil, which is the Eskimo version of ketchup. But the Tupperware made such a tight seal the oil not onlyfermented but created an extremely toxic brew resulting in numerous deaths. What’s up with that? Is it crapola or is burping tantamount tofestered oil? — Alaska Vic

Zoo 4

Pleasure to get your letter, Vic — I can’t remember the last time I had a chance to put a billion-dollar corporation into a five-alarm panic. My inquiry regarding your story elicited the following terse response from a Tupperware vice presi dent: “Tupperware has no knowledge of the incident... and therefore cannot confirm or deny it.” Noted. But while there’s no reason to implicate Tupperware specifically, Eskimo foods and airtight containers don’t mix. One observes the following disturbing data points: • Anaerobic bacteria — that is, those that thrive in oxy gen-free environments — are among the most virulent known. One such bacterium is Clostridium botulinum, pro ducer of deadly botulism toxin. Other clostridia to watch out for include C. tetani, which causes tetanus, and C. perfiringens, which gets into wounds and causes gas gangrene, an affliction that’s as bad as it sounds. Anaerobic bacteria are the ones that make improperly sterilized canned goods puff up like a foot ball. Food in this condition should be destroyed immediately, unless you’re serving brunch to Osama bin Laden. • In the August 17, 2001, edition of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the Centers for Disease Control noted that three persons in a southwest Alaskan village had come down with botulism after eating fermented beaver tail and paw. “Two patients developed respiratory failure and

required intubation and mechanical ventilation,” the story reads. “One of the two intubated patients suffered cardiac arrest” but was revived. All three were taken to intensive care, where one needed a tracheostomy tube and then a month on a ventilator. According to MMWR, “In this out break, the tail and paws had been wrapped in a paper rice sack and stored for up to 3 months in the entry of a patient’s house. Some of the beaver tail and paw had been added to the sack as recently as 1 week before it was eaten.” No mention is made of Tupperware. • Alaska has the highest botulism rate in the States and one of the highest worldwide. According to the CDC, close to 40 percent of food-borne botulism cases reported in the U.S. between 1990 and 2000 (103 of 263) occurred in Alaska, one of the least populous states. Very rarely is Tupperware known to have been involved, however: in a 2002 outbreak reported in the Anchorage Daily News, eight people became ill with suspected botulism after eating “muktuk from a beluga whale they found dead along the shore.” I mean, really. • Later in the same article, though, we find the follow ing: “Most botulism cases in Alaska have been linked to preparation and storage of traditional Native foods, includ ing fermented foods [and] seal oil... Between 1930 and 2002, Alaska had 122 outbreaks of botulism involving 248 people, [and all those sickened were Natives]. Botulism cases increased from 1950 to 1997, though health officials aren’t exactly sure why... Some Alaska Natives have switched from traditional fermenting practices — burying salmon heads, beaver tails and other foods in underground pits — to placing the food in airtight containers set above ground or in other warmer environments that are more con ducive to producing the botulism toxin.” • According to a 2003 planning document from the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services, in the late ’90s a woman contracted botulism after eating “stink eggs” at a din ner party in Sitka. The stink eggs — basically a m ixture of salmon roe and seal oil — had been fermented in Tupperware on top of the refrigerator. To confirm the toxin’s source, two public health nurses had to go Dumpster diving until they found a discarded Tupperware container full of ripe stink eggs. So you’re the marketing manager for Tupperware s Alaska division. You’ve got time-honored and for all you know sacred native food-preparation practices on the one hand, botulism on the other, and your company’s reliably, nay, proudly airtight container in the middle. You know there’s nothing especially pernicious about Tupperware in this context, even a bucket sealed with plastic wrap could cause trouble — but nonetheless the brand’s good name is in peril. What do you do? Put a little slip inside each Tupperware container saying “Not Recommended for Making Stink Eggs”? Apply for a job at Sears selling socketwrench sets? Well, suck it up, chum, things could be worse. You could be a public health nurse. CECIL ADAMS

one big cheer for UVM basket ball: “Todays ESPN-televised game will raise the national profile of UVM sports. The rest of the coun try will be able to see a team that personifies much of what makes college sports a positive element in American culture. For that, the Catamounts are already champi ons,” read Awbrey’s editorial. From now on, however, not only will Awbrey’s editorials on UVM be questionable, but so, too, will every editorial the Freeps publishes. W hat about Mr. Awbrey’s recent diatribes trashing wind energy? O n Monday, the Kansas transplant let loose another unbe lievable one, calling wind power, “the foremost threat to Vermont’s natural beauty in recent memory.” He went on to insult environmen talists for “supporting the desecra tion of Vermont mountaintops.” W hat planet is this Awbrey guy from? And what freebies has he been accepting from wind-power opponents, the nuclear industry and Exxon-Mobil?

Other Guests — UVM’s Karen Meyer was only too happy to release the VIP ticket list when asked. President Danny Boy, she said, had purchased a block of 123 seats out of discretionary funds. “We were thrilled to have so many guests come to the basket ball game,” said Meyer. “We are very proud of what we do and are happy, when we can, to share in such events. Our one regret is we did not have more room to invite more friends of the university.” Such an angel, eh? According to the list, free tickets also went to Gov. Jim Douglas, former Govs. Howard Dean and Madeleine Kunin, U.S. Congress man Bemie Sanders, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, former Lt. Gov. Doug Racine, Attorney General Bill Sorrell, Secretary of State Deb Markowitz, State Auditor Eliza beth Ready (who said she insisted on paying), Treasurer Jeb Spauld ing, State Sens. Jim Leddy, Sen. Phil Scott, Rep. Martha Heath, and a couple staffers at Sen. Patrick Leahy’s office.

“It was nice to get tickets,” said Secretary Markowitz. A regular at the women’s games, Deb took her daughter to Saturday’s champi onship. As for Vermont’s UVM-friendly lobbying law, Markowitz said other states have similar exemptions. However, she said, a few like California require “instrumentali ties of the state” to report “gifts” given to people who make the laws.

Speaking of Sports — You’ve got to feel bad for the folks who waited on line all night and didn’t get tickets to the UVM game. Some lost out to the VIPs. But imagine if UVM had something larger than Patrick Gym? The Gov.’s Sports Arena Committee, chaired by Commerce Secretary Kevin Dom, held its third monthly meeting Monday and approved issuing an RFP for a feasibility study. The committee also agreed to start raising $100,000 in pri vate funds to pay for it. The prime site is the wooded

ravine out behind the Sheraton Hotel on Williston Road. The dream is a facility that would hold 6500 for ice hockey and 10,000 plus for concerts. Imagine if it existed today? Not only would Editorial Page Editor Awbrey have been able to buy his own tickets, so would the thousands of fans who didn’t get in Saturday. “If it were proven to be feasible and everything got into align ment,” said Sec. Dorn, “you’re talking by the end of the decade it would be potentially up and run ning and be usable to UVM and the broader community.”

Clear Distinctions — As we mentioned last week, this year’s gubernatorial race offers no shortage of clear distinctions between the candidates. Here’s another one: George W. Bush’s invasion and occupation of Iraq. It’s brought close to home again this week with the death of a Vermont Guardsman. Republican Gov. Jim Douglas has been a constant supporter of the president’s policy. Despite over whelming evidence the Bush team lied to the American people about the reasons for war, Gov. Douglas continues to stand by his man. “I do support the administra tion’s actions and decisions with respect to the operation in Iraq,” Gov. Douglas said the other day. “Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who murdered massive numbers of his own people. He was in violation of United Nations’ resolutions. There’s a broad coalition of nations that support our efforts there. I believe the world is better off for his removal from power.” Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, the Democratic chal lenger, couldn’t disagree more. “Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator,” Clavelle told Seven Days, “but he was not an imminent threat to the safety and well-being of the United States. This was an unnecessary war, one that could have been avoided.” Mayor Moonie said Gov. Jimbo “does not recognize the harm this president is inflicting on Vermont ers. In fact, he’s cheerleader-in-chief for George W. Bush.” Gov. Douglas is Vermont chairman of Bush-Cheney 2004. Love those clear distinctions, don’t you?

A Song for Ireland — This edi tion of Seven Days hits the street, as it does every seven years, on St. Patrick’s Day. As regular readers are aware, “Freyne” is actually an Irish name and this particular Freyne’s roots are buried deep in Irish politics. April 11 will mark the 83rd anniversary of the death of the first Peter Freyne. An 18-yearold farm boy from County Kilkenny, Peter left the farm to serve under legendary IRA leader Michael Collins. Unfortunately, Uncle Pete never met his nephew. He was gunned down in a raid on the Dublin headquarters of the notorious Black and Tans, the “irregular” military force the Brits sent to crush the Irish rebellion. The story of the raid made Page 2 of The New York Times the following morning. Peter’s older brother, Frank, was the squad leader and would shortly be cap-

tured when Collins’ Dublin Brigade torched the Dublin Customs House in May. Yours truly wasn’t even a gleam in Frank’s eye at the time. My daddy-to-be was shipped to Kilmainham Gaol with a death sen tence on his head. But political negotiations between the IRA and Winston Churchill produced a December peace treaty that estab lished the Irish Free State. Without that treaty -— no “Inside Track,” folks. Unfortunately, it only liberated 26 of the Emerald Isle’s 32 coun ties. Thus, the struggle continues today. And at this very moment the peace process that moved for ward with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement has taken a few giant steps backward. Everything’s bogged down on the issue of “decommissioning” paramilitary weapons. Last October, Canadian Gen. John de Chastelain, head of the Commis sion on Decommissioning, report ed on the third such event in which the IRA put a portion of its weapons “beyond use.” Under the confidentiality rules of the agreement, however, Chastelain cannot reveal precisely how many weapons were put beyond use, specifically what kind they were, nor where the decom missioning occurred. The retired general can only say the event he witnessed took place “somewhere on the island of Ireland.” Last fall, that was no longer good enough for the hardline Unionists led by Rev. Ian Paisley. Everything’s on hold. The peace process is in crisis,s So what a remarkable coinci dence it was when we bumped into Gen. de Chastelain last month in Williston. No, not at Wal-Mart. Rather nearby at the headquarters of a new Vermont Biotech company. With the help of Sen. Patrick Leahy, Triosyn Corp. has secured $13.2 million in federal contracts. That eased the move south from Montreal. Using a patented process, the company produces an iodinebased resin that can be applied to everything from tent material to clothing, air filters and paint, and protects against a range of infec tious microorganisms from anthrax to influenza. Sounds like the demand for Triosyn resin can only skyrocket, eh? Gen. Chastelain is on the board of directors and he attended the press conference at which the latest Leahy-assisted federal con tract was announced. Knowing he would be there made our atten dance mandatory. If the peace process in the North is revived, Chastelain told us that he will be the first to know. “I’d go back tomorrow,” he told us, “if they gave me a call.” To keep in touch with the situ ation, Chastelain said he checks www.nuzhound.com every morn ing. The site provides links to all Irish and British news articles related to the Northern Ireland stalemate. It’s now one of our bookmarks, too. Thanks, General. We hope your phone rings real soon. ©

oltaire once said, “If you can’t dance, you fuck a lot o f waitresses.” Granted, I’m no expert on 18th-century French philosophy. But it’s pretty safe to say that George Carlin was playing fast STORY and loose w ith his literary references KEN when he wrote his 1983 bathroom P IC A R D reader, Sometimes a Little Brain Damage Can Help. T he message was George Carlin performs two shows right on the money, though: There at the Flynn Center are rewards for those who watch from in Burlington the sidelines. A nd for nearly half a on Saturday, century, Carlin has been an observer March 20, 7 and 9 p.m. Tickets are o f all the weird and wacky shit we $42.56. Info, hum ans say and do to one other. 863-5966. W hether he’s dissecting the English language, serving up his musings on the hum an condition or just talking about his dog taking a crap, Carlin has produced a body o f work whose timelessness and hum or few comics can match. Carlin has released 24 albums, 12 H B O specials and 11 feature films, won six CableACE awards, earned five Em m y nom inations, won three Grammys, and authored three books. He has also been court-m artialed three times, suffered three heart attacks and one hernia, and suckered nine Supreme C o u rt justices into pro nouncing the seven dirty words you

can’t say on TV. N ot bad for someone who turns 67 in May and still per forms 90 concerts a year. Part o f Carlin’s success, besides his voraciously creative m ind, is his refusal to do topical humor. D on’t expect to hear him riff on Howard Dean’s scream or Jane! Jackson’s breast. His stand-up routines that made milk shoot out o f your nose when you were 12 are as funny today as they were back then. A nd your kids can laugh at Carlin’s 1972 album, Class Clown, even if they can’t tell George McGovern from John Erlichman. Seven Days spoke with Carlin by phone from his hotel room at the M G M Grand in Las Vegas, where he was in the m idst o f an eight-week engagement. T he year 2004 is looking to be another banner one for the comic. His 11 th film, Kevin Smith’s Jersey Girl, comes out on M arch 26; it’s his biggest acting role to date. Carlin’s third book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? is due in book stores this fall. It’s w orth noting that Carlin makes his own phone calls — no fast-talking agent type rings you to say, “Please hold a m om ent for Mr. C arlin.” A nd

contrary to his occasional rants about cell phones, he does own one himself. W hat’s more, for a comedian whose satirical tirades seem to become more angry and misanthropic each year, he comes off as one hell o f a nice guy. To paraphrase the caveat on Carlin’s website, “Warning: This arti cle contains real hum an language.” So if you’re easily perturbed by the fword or irreverent references to the Almighty, you m ight want to read something else. O r as Carlin might suggest, “Lighten the fuck up!”

SEVEN DAYS: So, George, do you still enjoy b eing as fam ous as you are, or has it becom e a pain in th e ass? G EO R G E CARLIN: No, I love it! I always wanted to be a famous, wellknown celebrity who people recog nize. I always like to lay it on real thick. But I wanted it on my terms, which is the way I got it.

7D: As som eone who grew up Catholic, what do you th in k of all th e revelations about pedophile priests? GC: W hat’s wrong with these.fucking kids, they don’t know how to handle

a pedophile? You kick him in the nuts! You say, “Father, I don’t do that shit.” T hen you go tell five different adults, and one o f them is going to believe you. And you don’t take that sh it... I’ve always talked about how fucked up religion is, you know. But I love reading about it because it shows who they really are, these religious charlatans of all religions, this bill of goods they’re selling. They say they’re cleaning it up. They act like a bunch o f lawyers.

7D: Any chance you'll go see Mel Gibson's new movie, The Passion

of the Christ? GC: Well, I’d kind o f like to see it just to see all the brutality. I kind of like violence. T he thing that people forget about that, they blame the Jews but you know what it was, it was businessmen and government. Those are the two groups that always fuck things up in the world and always will and they got control o f everything, and they’re the ones who killed him.

GEORGE C AR L I N Americans don’t give a shit. They’ve all been bought off by cell phones and Jet Skis and sneakers with lights in them. So you can’t expect anything o f these people. I always say, the American people deserve every thing they get, and they usually get everything they deserve. And these people in charge now are just the per sonification o f the worst part o f the American character. T h a t’s who they are. Americans are not very bright... As a group, IQwvise they’re very low, and their answer to that is to just lower the standards so their kids can pass the tests. “T he kids can’t pass? Let’s lower the test standards.” T h a t’ll be great 30 years from now. So, I enjoy standing back and watching as this country circles the drain, and the circles get smaller and faster all the time. A nd these guys in the Bush adm inistration are just per fect for that. I mean, they’ve really pushed those circles faster. I like to sit back, detached from all this, and I root for fun, for entertainm ent. America is a freak show. W hen you’re born in this country, you’re given a ticket to the freak show. I say, enjoy it! D on’t be trying to change the freaks. Some folks try to do that, and that’s fine. Environm entalists and lawyers for the ACLU and these activists and picketers, they think

Everyday Life in America: A View from Vermont, by Helen Husher. Globe Pequot Press, 224 pages. $16.95.

t’s too bad the cover o f writer Helen H usher’s new collection o f essays, Everyday Life in America: A View from Vermont, fea tures a rosy-uddered Holstein standing in the snow. It’s a tired rural image o f the sort you’d expect to find on any standard Vermont tourist publication. Fortunately, Husher’s book o f witty, insightful medita tions on Vermontica is anything but. T he state’s cultural landscape is familiar territory for the M ontpelier writer. Husher covered a similar beat for Seven Days. And in her last book, O ff the Leash: Subversive Journeys Around Vermont, explored a num ber o f quirky tourist attractions — the birthplace o f Joseph Smith and the Hope Cemetery, to name a couple — in a take off on the guide-book form. In her new book, Husher goes deeper, mixing reportage with history and sociolo gy. In 14 essays, she muses on the essential Vermontness of curiosities like the dog chapel, the ghoulish curbside sculpture park on Route 7 in South Burlington and the Spam curry puffs at the Champlain

money has been spent burnishing the image of Vermont as a place where this trinity is in perpetual operation,” she writes, “sort of like nightly fireworks at Disney W orld or the M aid o f the Mist, with excursions hourly, at Niagara Falls.” Husher admits that the trees and the lifts do, in fact, exist here, and yes, this is a really pretty place. But, she writes, this image alone is “unsatisfactory.” “It leaves out the cold hard cider that runs in the veins of the state,” she argues, “the astrin gent, surprising, and mildly intoxicating aftertaste o f violent thunderstorms, pecu liar place-names, insular gossip, and m uddy roads.” Husher insists that the recipe for this “cider” calls for the usual ingredients o f the Vermont myth, but it also includes Fred Tuttle, emu farms and civil unions. To get a real taste o f it, she suggests, visitors should slow down and stop rush ing from one cute town to the next. “It’s not that I w ant them to feel short changed,” she writes, “and to not get from

But Husher doesn’t just cata log oddities; she researches and analyzes them in colorful prose that is both loving and self-consciously obsessive. T he result is a study o f our state that is as fascinating as it is fun to read. Husher deconstructs Vermont’s reputa tion as a kind o f “theme park for the rus tic life.” In “Cold H ard Cider,” the essay that opens the book, she discusses the old tourism stand-bys, “maple trees, ski lifts, and rural beauty.” “A lot o f time and

Vermont what they came for...But I also want them to get what they didn’t come for, which is sometimes more puzzling, more piercing, more like a stick in the eye.” Husher wants residents and visitors alike to appreciate the lesser-known pecu liarities o f Vermont’s history and culture. In her writing, Husher doesn’t just appreciate weirdness; she revels in it. Take the essay “T he Art Capital o f the World. W ith a title like that, you m ight think she’d talk about whom — Norm an

Rockwell, maybe? Nope. Husher spends several pages describing the work o f Harry Barber, a little known, all-but-forgotten man who built dozens o f elaborate m inia ture stone castles all over South Hero from 1920 until his death in 1960. Husher walks us through one o f the surviving castles, a four-foot-tall structure complete with towers, a m oat and “plat forms from which boiling oil can be poured onto the heads o f tiny m arauding enemies." The castle once had real w in dows and working lights, but most o f the fancy finishing touches have since disap peared. “The boundary between hand made backyard art and handm ade back yard kitsch has always been permeable,” Husher observes. “T he work o f Harry Barber lies somewhere in between, but it’s hard to be sure w hether this castle merely straddles the line or actually defines it." Kitschy or no, H usher clearly admires Barber’s work, and even more so his stub born, Vermonty determ ination to keep doing it, despite the obvious fact that his creations can’t possibly survive the harsh winter weather. “There is som ething curi ously pleasing,’’ she writes, “about the idea of these tiny, interesting castles slowly melting in the golden light into tiny, interesting ruins.” D itto the sculpture park at the foot o f the Price Chopper parking lot on Route 7, which Husher covers in the chapter the Edge of the Clearing.” I’ve always dis missed it as that psycho-gargoyle thing, but Husher is m uch kinder. “It’s a m inia ture and symbolic forest,” she writes, “that lies at the center o f a com pact world, and around it and in it these sphinxes pass the time by perching, watching, w aiting.” Uh, well, sure. But it’s still creepy. Husher also covers C ham p and the catamount in the gargoyle essay, conclud ing that we Vermonters have a “tem pera

mental tendency to look between the trees and conjure up mystical and valuable beings.” True? Maybe. But the three ele ments she’s comparing are enough alike that the essay works, and the sculpture park is weird enough that reading about it in this context is both surprising and delightful. Most o f the essays accomplish this syn ergy, though the inclusion o f Steven Huneck, creator o f the Dog Chapel, in the sartorially slanted “How to Dress Like a Vermonter,” doesn’t quite work. Husher lumps his weird, dog-sized chapel, a trib ute to the hum an-dog bond, in with the Vermont frumpiness fetish and a hilarious skinny-dipping memo w ritten by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy. T he connection, apparently, is the emotional “nakedness” H usher feels when visiting the chapel, but it isn’t as seamless as most o f her artfully drawn juxtapositions. It’s too bad, because the material on H uneck is some o f H usher’s best. “Talking to Stephen H uneck,” she warns, “means that your ears are lifted for the sound o f the platitude alert, which is a loud, steady beeping that carries well in the N orth Country. For various reasons the alarm does not sound.” In other words, “this guy has the potential to be sooooo cliche, but for some reason, he’s n o t.” H usher could be describing herself — a book called A View from Vermont has the potential to be painfully cheesy, but H usher manages to deliver a. fresh per spective. In the book’s introduction, she relates the following conversation: “N ot long ago, when I m entioned to an acquain tance that I was once again writing essays about Vermont, I got a pitying response. ‘You are so stuck,’ he told me. ‘I totally mean th at.’” If H usher is stuck, we’re totally lucky it’s here.

A d d r e s s i n g t h e c u r r e n t s t a t e o f t h e c iv il u n i o n lex Knisely and David Jones jum ped at the chance to get a civil union in 2000, the year the Verm ont law took effect. Knisely, a Pennsylvania physi cian, had been offered a job in STORY London, and wanted to make sure his RUTH partner o f 10 years could accompany HOROWITZ him across the Atlantic. Although civil-union licenses are not usually IMAGE recognized outside Vermont, Knisely TIM and Jones lucked out. Jones was NEW COMB granted a visa based on his relation ship with Knisely which the c.u. helped docum ent. Now Knisely and Jones are hoping to tie the knot again — this time, more securely. They’re planning a Massachusetts wedding. “N obody knows what a civil union is, but peo ple recognize what a marriage is,” explains Knisely. “It’s the public dec laration that this is m eant to last.” Civil unions seemed radical four years ago. But as more and more states and municipalities move towards perform ing — or at least rec ognizing — single-gender weddings, the Verm ont model is complicating the legalities o f an institution in flux. T he recent firestorm o f civic activism in places like San Francisco, New Paltz, Asbury Park and Plattsburgh was sparked in November, when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial C ourt m andated same-sex marriage. In response, last week the Massachusetts Legislature gave prelim inary passage to a bill that writes civil unions into — and gay marriage out o f — the state constitu tion. It will likely receive final approval w hen the state’s constitu tional convention reconvenes on M arch 29. But even if the measure passes, the earliest it could go into effect would be 2006. Between M ay 17 and then — barring some long-shot legal maneuver by G overnor M itt Romney

— same-sex marriage will be legal in Massachusetts. The vows exchanged just over our southern border will be heard around the world. Here in Vermont, the anticipated weddings already look like a movie trailer for Civil-Unions Debate, Part II. “I can’t see that we won’t have peo ple who get married there and come here,” says Vermont Attorney General W illiam Sorrell. Those marriages will stir up a mess o f legal puzzles, fore most among them: Will Vermont legally recognize them, and if so, as what? T he answer may depend on who’s getting married, Sorrell suggests. A 1912 law stipulates that if a Vermonter leaves the state and con tracts a marriage that would have been forbidden here, that marriage will be declared null and void when the person returns to Vermont. In other words, a Massachusetts marriage between homosexual Vermonters will not be recognized as a marriage in Vermont. O n the other hand, Sorrell notes, “Verm ont does not have a specific statute th at talks about two people who live in M assachusetts on M ay 17 and get married, and lo and behold on July 1 they come to V erm ont.” It’s unclear w hether the courts w ould treat such transplants as m arried, as in a civil union, or as n o t married. “O ff the cuff,” Sorrell says, “I think it would be unlikely that the state w ould recognize the marriage in this latter example o f people who live in Massachusetts and at the same tim e not recognize the marriage of two people who went to Massachu setts and came back.” M ost likely, he guesses, both marriages would be treated as civil unions. But he cau tions, “Put 10 lawyers in a room, you’ll get 10 opinions.”

visions that are contingent on marital Attorneys are already having a ‘be status and spelled,opt in 1049 U.S. heydey with the question o f civil laws. unions’ portability. “T he experiences The feds’ position is reinforced by o f civil unioned couples in other the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, states is decidedly mixed,” says which excuses states from recognizing M iddlebury attorney Beth Robinson, same-sex unions solemnized in other a lead lawyer in the Baker case that places. At last count, 37 states had laws resulted in Vermont’s civil-union law, on their books banning gay marriage and a founder o f the Vermont within their own borders. Freedom to M arry Task Force.

No one grows up hearing songs about civil unions. BETH Robinson tells about a man who sued a New York hospital for his civilunion partner’s wrongful death. The hospital argued that the plaintiff had no legal standing, but the court ruled in the man’s favor. T he hospital has appealed. Robinson also describes a divorced m other in Georgia whose visitation rights barred her from keeping her child with her overnight if another adult who wasn’t related to her was present. A court ruled that the woman’s civil-union partner didn’t meet the definition o f “spouse.” And in two separate cases, Iowa and West Virginia couples seeking to end their civil unions were granted divorces in their hom e states. If the lay o f the land is confusing for gay and lesbian couples at the state level, the national landscape is crystal clear. A lthough the 2000 U.S. Census reveals 3 million households headed by same-sex couples in 99.3 percent o f counties nationwide, these partners have no legal standing in the eyes o f Uncle Sam. They can’t receive Social Security benefits, file joint tax returns or qualify for any o f the pro-

This legislation is bound to be tested in court, where lawyers will undoubtedly argue that D O M A vio lates Article IV o f U.S. Constitution, which requires states to give “full faith and credit” to each others’ judicial proceedings. President Bush acknowl edged this legal vulnerability on February 24 when he called for a con stitutional am endm ent defining mar riage as a union o f a man and a woman. Dubya softened his rhetoric by stipulating that a marriage amend m ent should leave states “free to make their own choices in defining legal arrangements other than marriage a statem ent that leaves the door open for civil unions. T h at the Vermont model now provides a fallback posi tion for conservative politicians shows how far attitudes around homosexual ity have come in just a few years.

stitutional am endm ent banning it and a 54 per cent majority supports civil unions — up from just 40 percent last July. Gay-rights advocates view this shift as one more step in the march towards marriage for all.

"Civil unions were a trem endous step forward here,” says Beth Robinson. “They would be a tremendous step backwards in Massachu setts.” Speaking to 100-plus cheering supporters at Burlington’s Unitarian Universalist Society Friday evening, Robinson quoted from the Massachusetts high court’s November 25 deci sion: “T he history o f our nation has dem onstrat ed that separate is seldom if ever equal.” The crowd had gathered to help launch a new educational campaign by the Vermont Freedom

run by judicial activism.” “I don’t believe the role o f government should be to give out licenses to people based on feel ings,” Shepard says. “If you can make a case for gay couples, you can make a case for polygamy or som ething else... People talk about bisexuals. W hat do you do in that case?” Although Shepard’s bill doesn’t address civil unions, he does say he believes that the current law “is not good policy.” A nd although he acknowledges that “it’s too soon to say” whether it has harm ed the state, Shepard suggests the leg islation has encouraged “more openness among our youth to experiment” sexually. “People may have an orientation towards [homosexuality],” he says, “but that doesn’t mean we should celebrate it. Some things are healthy and some are n ot.” O ne thing Shepard and Zuckerm an agree on:

I d o n ’t believe the role of g o v e rn m e n t should be to give out licenses to people b ased on feelings. STATE MARK

to M arryTask FQrce. “We need your staries,” /* VFM TF chair Sherry Corbin told the audience. She said the group plans to follow the strategy that worked so well in prom oting civil unions. Like last time, it aims to harness the persuasive power o f the anecdote, using poster children who look like anyone’s next-door-neighbor to show the hum an side o f queer com m itm ent. And this tim e around, activists argue, they’ll be bolstered by the state’s four-year experience with civil unions. Their mantra: T he sky hasn’t fallen. “No one in Vermont can say that taking that next step is going to tear Vermont apart,” says Robinson. “Marriage isn’t going to hurt any body and it’s going to make some families in the community more secure.” Also key will be articulating the limits o f civil unions — not just that they provide less security than marriage on a practical level, but also that they lack the symbolic weight o f the institution of marriage. “N o one grows up hearing songs about civil unions,” Robinson notes. “O u r civilunion law doesn’t just disadvantage com m itted couples in long-term relationships, it says that gay and lesbian people are less w orthy than their hetero neighbors.” Corbin believes that more public education is needed before M ontpelier is ready to reconsider gay marriage. But pols are already staking out their positions on both sides o f the aisle. Representative David Zuckerm an (P-Burlington) has sponsored a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. “Ultimately, he says, “equality is im portant.” T he opposition is also poised. First-term Senator Marc Shepard (R-Bennington) has intro duced a bill that w ould am end the Vermont C onstitution to lim it marriage to heterosexual couples. Shepard says he took his model from the Alliance For Marriage, the lobbyists who drafted the federal marriage am endm ent. A coalition o f conservative political and religious groups, AFM makes no reference to homosexuality and avoids the now politically-extreme position o f seeking to ban civil unions. Shepard’s bill follows suit. His statem ent o f purpose talks about gender equality, the social benefits o f marriage and family, and a desire to ensure that “the dem ocratic process is not over

N o one in M ontpelier seems to b% in a hurfy to address the issue. Both bills are sitting in com mittee. In the meantime, people are definitely con fused. “A day doesn’t go by when a question does n’t come in,” says D eputy Secretary o f State Bill Dalton. His job is to help town clerks and other officials understand how to issue civil unions. But these days he sometimes finds him self as stum ped as his callers. “This is a brave new world,” he says, “a world where there are no answers yet.” Another area that’s still up in the air: what happens when the honeym oon is over. If samesex marriage really does m irror the traditional variety, statistics suggest that about half o f com m itted gay couples will eventually split up. For folks in civil unions, that means a “dissolution.” But proceedings can’t begin until the couple has lived in Vermont for at least a year. Since most C .U .ed couples come from elsewhere, it’s not sur prising that the state so far has recorded 6761 civil unions, but only 29 dissolutions. Debra Schoenberg, a Burlington attorney who practices family law, has handled about five gay break-ups — all involving couples who lived here when they got hitched. But she’s fielded more than 50 inquiries on the topic from out-ofstaters. “O nce I explain their need to buy a red flannel shirt and hang in Vermont for a year,” she says, “they decline.” T hat situation is likely to change, though, Schoenberg adds. W ith breaking up so hard to do, and as long as no state outside Vermont would recognize a c.u., there’s been little incen tive for folks to formally declare their civil unions finis. But as recognition o f same-sex couples — either in civil unions or in marriages — becomes more prevalent, more parties will feel pressure to legally untie the knot. A nd what about couples like Knisely and Jones? Assuming their Vermont civil union does n’t preclude a Massachusetts marriage, were they to break up, would they have to get both dis solved and divorced? As w ith so m any questions around this issue, time, and the courts, will tell. O ne thing’s for sure: It’s all good news for attor neys. Q uips Sorrell, “This is all like the lawyers’ relief act.” (Z)

There is anger in Johnsons eyes, which are red and puffy after four months of mourning, but it’s closely guarded, at least around people she doesn’t know well. W hat’s easier to see is her profound grief. But there’s some thing else there, too — a solemn, determined strength to speak candidly about her loss. O n the one-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, a war whose justification now seems more dubious than ever, there are gnawing questions about when it will end, how many more lives it will claim and what good, 'if any, will come of f**it. No weapons of mass destruction have been found. As public support for the action wanes and reports of American casualties are pushed further and further back y in the newspapers and nightly TV news, those questions weigh heavily on Johnson, who bitterly opposed the war but put her own feelings aside to support her son. Now that he’s gone, she’s left wondering what he died for. His death came nine months after his arrival in Iraq. United States Army Capt. Pierre Piche, 29, of the 101st Airborne Division, was killed on November 15, 2003, along with 16 other soldiers in the crash of two Black Hawk helicopters in Mosul. It took time for the news to reach his wife, Cherish, who still lives in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where Piche was sta-, tioned. His body was burned beyond recognition. His wed ding ring was never found. Just weeks after her son’s death, Johnson provided the media with a front-row seat to her bereavement, allowing a CBS News crew to invade her Starksboro home for a day and a half to tape a segment of “Sixty Minutes II.” They cluttered her house with so much equipment that she couldn’t even get to a hairbrush before they inter viewed her. Their cameras went so far as to capture images of Cherish scattering her husband’s ashes in the woods where he’d proposed to her. W hy did Johnson put herself through it? In part, to honor her son’s memory. But also because, in spite of her own feelings about the war and the leaders who took

from her what she considers “the most important experience of my life...being Pierre’s mother,” Johnson believes that the men and women who are still serving in Iraq need to know that they haven’t been forgotten. “We don’t think about the soldiers as human beings. We think of them as numbers and casualties,” she says. “We make their deaths objective and polite... and this war is going to go on for another decade if we don’t do something about it.” At last count, 656 Coalition soldiers have died, including 558 Americans, and at least 3190 U.S:^ttppps have been wouncfed in the $125 billion war in Iraq. y$O n a bright and chilly Sunday afternoon in early March, Johnson once again opens her home, and her grief, to a reporter’s cameras and ques tions. I’m greeted at the door by Anna, a skittish, black-and-white greyhound mutt, who eyes me warily and doesn’t approach right away. Anna was rescued from an animal shelter in Tennessee, near where Piche was stationed. He used to volunteer his time train ing the homeless dogs there to increase their chances for adop tion. “We had 20 years of big, black dogs — Rottweilers, Bouviers — and when the last one died, I told Pierre, ‘That’s it. I’m buying a white couch. I’m done with dogs,”’ Johnson says. But when Piche pleaded with his mother to take Anna in, fearing that this timid, abused little ani mal would never find a home, Johnson relented. The dog was flown up to Vermont. Later, when Piche was deployed to Iraq in February 2003, he spent his off-duty hours finding homes for the many abandoned dogs whose Iraqi owners had been killed. But even those small gestures of compassion were not easy to pull off in a war zone. “Pierre said that the people of Iraq are generally nice human beings. Ninety-five percent of them wanted to give him a donkey or a goat or whatever rural people do when they’re grateful,” Johnson says. “But [he also said that] there is a small percentage who want us dead. And they really want us dead. So you’re

LISA JOHNSON

constantly looking over your shoulder. It’s an insane way to live, trying to be a human being and trying not to be killed.” Seated at her kitchen table, Johnson flips through a photo album showing Piche as a baby, then later as a little boy playing the piano. In one picture, Piche sits in his mother’s lap reading a book, his blond hair nearly indis tinguishable from hers. In anoth er, Piche is 11 years old and dressed in the navy-blue jacket he wore as a legislative page in the Vermont Legislature. His political views were just begin ning to emerge — on a path that diverged from his mother’s. “That was the point where we decided he was a little Republican,” Johnson says, with a chuckle. “People used to joke that he was Alex Keaton because he was very much of an achiever and always worked hard at school.” Mother and son didn’t always see eye-to-eye on issues, but they remained close nonetheless. “At some point in his teens we said, ‘You’re Pierre, I’m Mom, and we’re not going to talk about that stuff,”’ Johnson says. “‘We’ll talk about everything else, like who we are to one another, and leave politics alone.’” Late in his senior year of high school — Piche was attending Loomis Chaffee, an exclusive pri vate school in Windsor, Connecticut — he began to con sider a military career. By this time, his parents had divorced and his father, who had been paying for his schooling, threat ened to withhold Piche’s tuition if he didn’t attend a college of his father’s choosing. W ith finances suddenly an issue, Pich^ decided to enlist in the Army Reserve. “This was his way of saying, ‘The hell with you, Dad,’ and gaining his independence,” Johnson says. “I expressed my concerns and also realized that it was his life and he had to make his own decisions. And so he did. It’s really not a parent’s pre rogative to tell their children what they’re going to be or do.” Still, it was a hard decision for Johnson to accept. As a teenager growing up in the 1960s, she had attended demonstrations in Burlington, and later in

SEVENDAYS”f'A a 'rc V l7 -m ; 2 0 0 4 'I 'fe a tu re J H .

W ashington, D .C ., to protest the Vietnam War. “I remember the draft and watching every one’s brothers and cousins disap pearing and then seeing the guys come back not whole,” she recalls. Back then, she adds, the war wasn’t as neat and tidy as it is today. Unlike today, T V news reporters expressed genuine sad ness, not just sentimental sound bites, and their cameras were allowed to show images o f flagdraped coffins coming home. But if Johnson disagreed with her son’s chosen path, she never discouraged him from following it. As a youth, Johnson admits, Piche had been “an adrenaline junkie” who occasionally got thrown off the ski slopes for ski ing too fast. But he also loved adventure and independence, and a career in the military offered both. After just two years o f college at CarnegieMellon University and the University o f Vermont, Piche enlisted full-time in the Army. From there, he rapidly rose through the ranks, earning his sergeant stripes by the age o f 22. “Lisa always respected his choice, but I think she struggled with it and didn’t understand why somebody o f his ability, who could have done pretty much whatever he wanted to do, would have chosen that route,” says Molly Jarvis, a friend and colleague o f Johnson’s. “She is somebody who is very detail-ori ented and obviously very bright, and Pierre was very m uch like her that way.” Piche arrived in Iraq with a sense of purpose about his mis sion, Johnson says. But it soon became evident to her that his focus had shifted to getting home as quickly as possible. “Morale over there was very low and it took a lot o f energy to keep the spirits o f the men up,” Johnson recalls. “It was horrible and it wasn’t stopping and it wasn’t going away. He never said that ‘We don’t understand why we’re here,’ but it seemed sug gested. There was a very distinct frustration.” Clearly, Johnson had frustra tions o f her own. Despite her deep opposition to the war, she’s never participated in any anti war demonstrations, partly because she doesn’t feel it’s appropriate as a state employee — she is a social worker with the Vermont D epartm ent o f Social and Rehabilitation Services. More importantly, though, her son had warned her that when soldiers are taken hostage, their captors sometimes use images o f their family m em bers at antiwar protests as an instrum ent for psychological torture. “I’ve always been opposed to the war,” Johnson says, “but the job o f the parent or the wife or the other person who’s hom e is to be the cheerleader, to encour age them , to focus everything on hope and on the future. So eve v conversation that you have, every thought, every prayer, is about their safety and their safe return.” »

Piche may have been a risktaker in his youth, but as an offi cer he was described by the men who served with him as “hypervigilant,” “detail-oriented,” someone who would smile even when things were going poorly. In his last phone call to his m other just weeks before his death, his entire focus was on getting himself and his men home in one piece. He didn’t believe in taking unnecessary risks — and that m eant avoiding unnecessary travel. For weeks he’d avoided going on a rest-andrecuperation leave. W ith so little time remaining before he was scheduled to come home, he didn’t want to take the risk. “He was being sent to Baghdad, which was ridiculous, because why would anyone go to Baghdad for R and R?” Johnson asks. But on November 15, Piche was not given a choice. He and his men were ordered to board a Black Hawk helicopter that was flying out of Mosul. Johnson sensed that her son was gone even before the news reached her. “It’s kind of odd,” she explains. “At the time of day that he was killed, I was putting his Christmas package in the mail and — although you see tears in my eyes now, I’m not usually one who cries in public — I was standing in line with his package and I just broke down. I said, ‘Something feels very wrong.’” Johnson was so shaken that she canceled her appointm ents for the rest o f the day and went home. Shortly afterward, she received a phone call from her daughter-in-law. They had both seen the images o f the downed helicopters on TV. Cherish kept calling the base at Fort Campbell. W hen no one would give her any information about her husband, she knew some thing was awry. “A nd then she called me and said, ‘They’re here,”’ Johnson says, almost in a whisper. “And I knew what that m eant.” An hour later, two officers arrived at Johnson’s door as well. “I felt sorry for them because I thought, these people had to get dressed up in the middle o f the night into their officers’ uni forms,” she says. “It just seemed

like an absurd activity taking' place in my living room .” At Piche’s funeral, Cherish spoke about the dozens o f little love notes her husband left around their house for her to find after he was deployed. She’d discovered two o f those notes in the pockets o f her winter coat as she prepared to travel north for the funeral. Johnson described her son as a man who believed in leaving the world a better place. In his last phone call to her, he’d talked about the Masters program in which he’d enrolled to become a schoolteacher, like his wife, when he left the military. “He wanted to ensure that he could live a life k? where he was able to continue to serve,” says Johnson. “He had a deep com m itm ent that way.” T he funeral was attended by the governor and a military honor guard, who presented both wife and m other with fold ed American flags. Piche’s body was cremated; the silver, heartshaped locket Johnson wears contains some o f his ashes. Questions lingered about the circumstances surrounding Piche’s death. N ot long after the funeral, a national journalist told Johnson that her son had been sent to Baghdad not for an Rand-R leave, but to participate in President Bush’s surprise Thanksgiving Day visit to the troops. For the next four m onths, she believed that her son had lost his life to play a part in a public-relations stunt. “If it had to do with saving someone’s life or doing the right thing, he would have jum ped off a cliff. He was heroic in that way,” Johnson says. “But Pierre despised stupidity and he felt like it was stupid to expose them selves to that kind o f thing for no apparent reason. So that will always bother m e.” Last week, however, there was a m om entary break in the fog o f war. T he Army officer who had identified Pichd’s body at the crash site flew to Vermont to meet with Johnson. “It was meaningful for me to have some one look me in the eye and tell me that he doesn’t believe Pierre suffered,” she says. “It made it easier to believe it was true.” He also told her that Pichd and his men were not on their way south to Baghdad, as

Johnson had been led to believe, but were flying north on another exercise. D id that news offer her any solace? She answers with a shrug. Today, there isn’t m uch about her son’s death that gives Johnson comfort. “My son told me about Iraqi people who were very grateful to him and that they believe their lives are better off now,” Johnson says. “I think that may be true, but I don’t know.” Johnson is sure o f one thing, however. She doesn’t believe most o f the news coming out of Iraq unless she hears it from somebody she knows has been there. “I’ve talked to a lot of journalists who have been there and had other journalists die next to them. And they tell me that we’re being lied to all the time about what’s really happen ing,” she says. “It’s filtered and I don’t trust it. So it’s hard to be comforted by m uch.” In the year since the invasion o f Iraq, a whole new generation of support groups has sprung up for the families of servicemen who died or were wounded there. Johnson prefers to deal with grief in her own way. She exercises, continues her work routine, and relies on help from a strong network of friends, many o f whom are therapists. And despite what one might assume, she still follows the news from the war intently and thinks about the soldiers every day. W ith each report of another death, she wonders: Was he one of the nice men she met on the base? O r one o f the soldiers who attended her son’s wedding? “And I think o f the other gap that’s left,” she says, “o f all the good they could have done if they had returned and put their energies and talents to work.” It goes w ithout saying that it’s hard for her to hear other people dismiss the war as irrelevant to their personal lives. “These are our brothers and friends and sons and daughters. They’re not strangers. These people should m atter to us, period. A nd they’re not going to stop dying,” Johnson says. “An infrastructure is being created to support more war and death. My horror is per sonal and I’m more acutely aware o f how horrible it is, but it’s hap pening to all o f us.” (Z)

N STORY & I MAGES

SARAH TUFF

ew York’s Adirondack Park is bigger than Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon combined, and its High Peaks have long seduced Eastern climbers. Six million acres lure Vermonters looking for tougher hikes and more spectacular views than they can find in the Green Mountains. A small subset of those outdoor adven turers aims to ascend the park’s 46 “major” mountains that measure over 3820 feet, some of which have neither views nor trails. It’s an ambitious goal, even in the summer. But there’s an even more hard-core group of hikers set on seeing those same summits in the winter, when bitter cold, white-outs, wind and ava lanches make the Adirondacks wildly inhospitable. “Most Winter 46ers start as ‘Fair Weather' 46ers,” says Mike McLean, a spokesman for the club, which was established in 1925 by brothers George and Robert Marshall and their guide, Herbert Clark.

Only 267 of the 5000 hikers who have since joined their ranks have bagged all 46 peaks between the months of December and March. Carl Howard is an aspiring “W,” as some of the cold-weather warriors sometimes refer to themselves. The 44-year-old could see the mountains from his dorm window at Middlebury, but didn’t catch 46er fever until the year he graduated, in 1981. Lloyd Lowy, a buddy from the Bronx, got him into the High Peaks. Now, every chance he gets, Howard drives north from Manhat tan, where he works for the Environ mental Protection Agency, to chalk up another winter peak. Two weeks ago, he got a weekend “pass” from his family to spend a few days climbing with Lowy and Usher Winslett. He invited my husband and me to tag along on an ascent of Sawteeth, his 37th 46er — provided we didn’t slow them down. Summer hiking in the Adirondacks may be crowded, but it’s largely has sle-free. Gear wise, you can usually get away with an extra sweatshirt, lunch and a bottle of water. Everything fits in a fanny pack. W inter climbing, in contrast, requires all sorts of planning and preparation. You can’t control the weather, but you can control your ability to handle it, with proper clothing, fuel and equip ment. After exchanging a few emails, Howard and I decide to meet around

8 a.m. near St. Huberts, about a half mile from the private Ausable Club. The plan is to walk through club property, sign in at the ranger station, don cross-country skis for a four-mile, slightly uphill approach to the trailhead along a road, then switch to snowshoes for the steep ascent. When we arrive, the parking lot on Route 73 has only a few cars — a rare sight in summer. As we don hats and gloves and tie our snowshoes onto our packs, Howard grills us. Snacks, lunch, skis? Do we have enough water? He rec ommends at least two quarts per per son. Layered clothing? Even in subze ro weather you still sweat — and then you freeze. At the ranger station, the thermometer reads 47 degrees, a sign of approaching spring. I’ve also noticed thrushes flying around. But there’s still plenty of snow on the ground, and after we sign in, I settle into a comfortable skiing pace. “I find winter skiing, snowshoeing, ascending and descending mountains

as much fun as anything I do,” says Howard. It is fun: I listen to the swish of my skis and the muffled sounds of the woods and look for signs of ani mals. An avid wildlife watcher, Howard likes winter for the bobcat tracks, the wolf and moose scat, the spray of bark from a woodpecker, all made visible by the snow. Before I know it, we’re at the trailhead. Here we stash our skis in the snow and strap on snowshoes. Three other hikers come along and ask for the best place to camp overnight; after pointing out a logical route, Howard leads us across the Ausable River and on a slight detour to Rainbow Falls. The 70-foot cascade, which creates a roar and a spray in the summer, is frozen, silent and blue. Back on the trail, the climb becomes increasingly steep. The only sounds are the click of poles, our deepening breaths, the clap of our snowshoes and the occasional breaking branch. But every so often, bits of conver sation break out, murmurs among the trees. Long hikes can engender deep thoughts, and having someone to share them with is a plus. Lots of hik ers, like Howard, seek the company of old friends. Others find climbing partners on the Internet or trade tips with other parties on the trail. There’s another reason W inter 46ers like a lit tle social stimulation: it increases your chances of survival. Going solo can be restorative, but also ridiculously dan gerous.

Last January, Howard and a few friends, including Charlie Tipper, a fellow Middlebury grad who lives in South Hero, had just reached the 4960-foot summit of Haystack when a solo hiker stumbled toward them, asking for extra gloves. Upon closer inspection, John Yip, 30, showed signs of frostbite and shock. He was clearly in no shape to take another step, let alone make his own way down the mountain. The group staged a massive rescue effort for Yip, a hiker from Toronto whose intended 24-hour climb had turned into 36 when his snowshoe broke. They chipped ice off his legs, called 911, and carried him down to a spot where the New York State police helicopter could land. Officials acknowledged in the press that if it hadn’t been for the group “taking care of him the way they did, he probably would have passed away.” Yip is one of Canada’s top adven ture racers, but something had gone terribly wrong. “It completely turned a lark into something more serious,” says Howard, who recounted the res cue for the 46ers’ magazine, Adiron dack Peeks. “John had intended to hike for 24 hours, and he has done endurance outings before,” he wrote.

“I don’t think he’s done 24 hours in anything akin to the winter Adirondacks before. Even if he had, the intended plan for this outing was absurd.. .If one’s goal is to exhaust oneself in the backcountry, then one is well advised to do it someplace a tired person can easily declare victory, get out and go home.” The final approach to the summit of Sawteeth is a 500-foot elevation gain in a half-mile. In a few places I have to scramble up, digging my crampons into the rock, snow and ice and scrabbling with my hands. I am stripped down to my synthetic skivvies, but still sweat drips down my back and runs in rivulets down my face. Finally, we come to a point where there’s no more “up” and there it is — the view. For a moment, it’s possible to ignore the wind that’s kicking up and just take in the snowy High Peaks around us, and beyond, the Champlain Valley. Howard chooses a couple of logs for our lunch spot. Fed up with the clap-clapping of my snowshoes, I take them off and casually step over to a log, ready to eat. Waroompb! My right leg plunges through the snow, up to my groin — a spruce trap. The guys

laugh and pull me out. While I eat humble pie, the others munch on peanut-butter sand wiches and Clif Bars. Carl pulls out Tibetan prayer flags his brother James gave him and hangs them temporarily from a branch. “I used to climb with my brothers,” says Howard, explaining how his youngest brother, Tim, is fighting leukemia. “The middle broth er, James, has his own struggles which make it difficult for him to climb anymore.” Standing atop a mountain resonates dif ferently for each climber. For Howard, it’s evidence that he’s in good health, his family is happy, and there’s still wilder ness out there... the world is okay. There’s also pleasure in pausing on a rooftop of the planet and pointing out the glory to a greenhorn winterclimber. “Nature is my tem ple,” says Howard. “In some ways, when I take a person into the wilderness I am silent ly proselytizing. I want that person to feel what I feel and to care as I care.” When I reveal to him that this is my first High Peak — summer or winter — Howard seems as tickled by my small milestone as by his own cumulative alpine achievement. “I’m in the single digits now,” says Howard, referring to the nine peaks he has left to climb. “I can taste it.” W hat will he do when he’s done? Find a new challenge, most likely. He could join a group of hikers who conquer all 115 New England moun tains over 4000 feet. Closer to home, his two young daughters in Manhattan may soon need a guide for their own expedi tions. Howard also wants to help Lowy, who led that first climb in 1981, get his 46. As it turns out, the proper summit is a few hundred yards away, and we trudge over in that direction before heading down, negotiating the steepest parts by picking our way backwards. And then the fun part begins. O ur snowshoes have packed a curvy path — an invitation to buttslide, or, as the Swiss say, glis sade. This is one of the great pleasures of winter climbing, second only to switching back to our cross-country skis. Too exhausted to kick and glide, my husband and I happily dis cover that the road’s downhill slope will carry us all the way back to our car. And before we’ve even started the drive back to Burlington, we’re talk ing about our own W inter 46. One down, 45 to go, and just six more m onths until December. (7)

TAKING N O TE O F VISUAL V E R M O N T

Going Mobile

W IMAGES Matthew Thorsen For more information about Gordon Auchincloss' mobiles, visit www.ambient flow.com.

hat is it about mobiles that holds our attention? Is it the gentle, seemingly random movement, the sense of floating in space? Sure, these features both stimulate and soothe, which probably explains why mobiles are often foisted upon newborns. Aside from purely visual appeal, though, these suspended artworks seem to offer a deeper satisfaction, a quality we can never quite grasp in our messy, mercurial lives: perfect bal ance. The intangible aspects of mobiles have not escaped Gordon Auchincloss, but, unlike the rest of us, this 34-year-old artist actually makes them. He thinks less about metaphor than physics. “I look at art work not really thinking of why but how,” Auchincloss says, “the mechan ical aspect of how it works that way.” Evidence of this interest — steel, alu minum, paper, Plexiglas and stone — is scattered around his Stowe work shop. Many of his creations look exactly like what the word “mobile” brings to mind: flat metal discs that float on several horizontal planes, suspended from interconnected wires. Some are simply wire, bent gracefully into a sort of 3-D genealogy chart. On his free-standing kinetic sculptures, there might be only one fulcrum from which a wire weighted on either end can move freely 360 degrees. Talk about a balancing act. While all artists have the ability to see what isn’t there — the potential of an empty canvas, an uncarved block of granite — for Auchincloss the creative process literally begins in thin air. “Whenever I walk into a space, it speaks to me,” he says. That was precisely his reaction not long ago to a new Waterbury restaurant called The Alchemist. As soon as he saw the interior, Auchincloss said to himself, “‘I want to put something here.’” That “something” is currently under construction, along with a half-dozen other mobiles, in the dou ble garage of the artist’s West Hill Road home. There are no cars in sight but instead an anvil, a welder, a gas forger and other tools both mod ern and antique. Sheets of metal wait their turn on the cutting table, while other pieces have already been trans formed into flat discs or twisted curlicues. One work is a large com mission for a Virginia restaurant whose art budget is $13,000. A num ber of mobiles will go to the West Branch Gallery in Stowe — Auchincloss has sold five works there this winter — and others will be “trades” with friends. Some of the mobiles are tabletop models of stone and metal. Larger works might weigh several hundred pounds. Auchincloss produces a pho tograph o f his biggest work to date:

an outdoor sculpture with red hori zontal discs. Its “wingspan” is 30 feet by 15. Experiencing the heft of these elements before they become air borne and seemingly weightless is rather like visiting a toyshop and see ing the unmagical body parts of dolls. W hen it comes to mobiles, the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts. Evidence of his artistic labors over the past decade is scattered around the rest of the house, which Auchincloss shares with his wife Melissa, their 14-month-old son Gardner and a Clumber Spaniel named Charlie. The collective open space of the kitchen-dining-livingroom is a veritable gallery: Various mobile models hang from the ceiling, their slight movements enticing you to look again and again. Other mod els sit on tables, toys for grown-ups

begging to be touched. Wire fig urines appear where you least expect them — an “old banjo man” watches over a stack of plates in the cup board. The whimsical wire pieces repre sent Auchincloss’ earliest forays into art making. A couple years after the Connecticut native graduated from New England College in 1991, he headed to M ontana for a stint of western living. Anticipating automo tive repairs on the cross-country trip, he took along a spool of wire, which he began coaxing into human and animal shapes. After seven months, Auchincloss returned east and landed a job at Shelburne Farms teaching environmental education and sustainable agriculture. “That was when I began making the wire mobiles,” he recalls. In 1995 he moved to Stowe, settled on real

estate for a day job, and kept “dab bling” with art. Anyone who makes kinetic sculp ture draws inevitable comparisons to Alexander Calder, the great 20th-cen tury artist who allegedly first applied the word “mobiles” to his moving creations. Auchincloss unabashedly traces his artistic inspiration back to an experience at the late Calder’s home in Connecticut. The estates *> caretaker was a friend who invited him to visit. “I spent the night because we got hammered by an ice storm,” he says. “There were big sculptures all over the grounds. That was the defining moment, looking at the balance and harmony of the work. When I was out in Montana, I was continually thinking of that experience and wanted to make something like it. Now it’s my pas sion.”

Rather than spend money on art school, Auchincloss has forged his idiosyncratic skills over the years by learning from other Vermont crafts men, including metal artist Bruce MacDonald in Burlington, and blacksmith Richard Spreda and sculptor Chris Curtis of Stowe. Co owner of the West Branch Gallery, Curtis first discovered Auchincloss’ works hanging in a local store. “I liked the whimsy; thought it was joy ful,” he says. “I liked the simplicity, the motion. . . He’s daring to follow

the real-estate license. “Primarily my time is working on pieces commis sioned by designers,” he says. That, and learning how to market and sell his apparently endless ideas. For example, he’s designed and patented a nifty little stainless-steel bottle opener that fits nicely in the palm of your hand — a testament to a bur geoning interest in industrial design. In addition to the West Branch, Auchincloss has sold smaller pieces through other outlets in Stowe and at Frog Hollow, and has works in

reviewthis CHUBBY, IS IT TIME? (Gigantic Music, CD) I know it might be painful, but for a moment imagine Nickelback if they were less average and sounded a bit more like they'd been influenced by the Foo Fighters and The Cars. That's a good starting point and a decent frame of ref erence for Chubby, a Boston rock band that plays tight and heavy straight rock with power, substance and style. Guitarist-vocalist Dennis Brockenborough (who, inciden tally, played trombone and sang as a member of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones for 10 years) has one of those smokyscratchy voices that works equally well gruffing out the loud parts and adding a nice weary edge to the more sensitive vocal lines. Okay, forget that I even mentioned Nickelback — unless, of course, you like that band, in which case you will probably like Chubby way better and soon develop an appropriate aversion to that other scourge of modern radio. This record is pretty easy to get into and rock out with. No new ground is being broken, but it's a solid record that moves well. "Seeing Stars" is the track that gives me that Foo-Cars feeling, but, you know, the next song, "A Day & A Flalf," made me write down Sade(?) meets Incubus(?), which I guess was so I would remember to mention that these guys are soulful, too, and have made some interest ing music that manages to be multifaceted within the con text of a straight-ahead rocking album. I bet they rock pretty hard live, too. Check 'em out Friday at Nectar's.

Piano-man Josh Dodes had his 15 minutes appearing on VHl's rock-on-the-road show "Bands on the Run." As front man for one of four chosen groups, Dodes traveled the country under the glare of television cameras as his band competed for (relative) fame and fortune. After the lights clicked off, Dodes moved to Burlington and released his second disc, Freak. I f schmaltzy, earnest piano-pop and white-boy funk is your thang, Freak will get you groovin'. If you're looking for a more original sound, well, Dodes sounds like Bruce Hornsby fronting the Ben Folds Five backed by a rickety r&b group. Sound good? It doesn't. Instead of lending his considerable piano-playing skills to some impassioned pounding, Dodes swamps his songs in syrupy pap. I f you go "on the run" with Dodes, expect to find yourself in the middle of the road.

EX H IB IT "Our Country," black-and-white photographs of Israel and its people by Alex Levac. Allen House, UVM, Burlington. Through March.

ARTW ORK "Twins, Jerusalem, 1992" by Alex Levac

PHOTO Marc Awodey

lex Levac calls himself a “street photogra pher,’’ but he is more than that. He is one of Israel’s leading photojournalists. His exhibition, “Our Country,” is tech nically flawless, and Levac is a “people person” with an eye for irony and wit. The show has been touring the world for the last few years and is at UVM’s Allen House through the end of the month. Despite their humble venue, Levac’s 23 large-scale black-and-white photographs constitute a major exhibition. The subject of “Our Country” is Levac’s native Israel, but it is not the ter rorist-wracked Israel of CNN. It’s the Israel of quiet lives, informed by faith, measured in the fleeting glances of Levac’s perceptive lens. A Brazilian critic recently described Levac as “one of the most detached photographers in Israel” and it’s true — his compositions are sub lime. But their artiness doesn’t detract from the people in the pictures. Many of the pieces first appeared as slice-of-life photos in the Israeli daily Ha’aretz. Most of the shots are untitled, except for the location and year taken. One exception is “Twins, Jerusalem 1992,” which portrays a pair of identically dressed elderly men — in caps, white shirts and black pants — easing their way downhill on a sunny day. The piece is all composition, but it’s interesting because the figures contrast with the geometric background as well as each other, despite their common costuming. “Jerusalem 1999” makes similar use

of opposites. A narrow street shot from above is crowded with Hassidic men and boys wearing dark suits and broadbrimmed fedoras. All of those who are old enough have beards, and a signifi cant number are bespectacled. But one figure seems paradoxically out of place and yet right at home. In the middle of the crowd, a tall, thin black man in a yarmulke — probably one of Israel’s 15,000 Jewish Ethiopian immigrants — makes his way through the crowd. Other works are humorous, some sim ply warm-hearted. “Tel Aviv, 1998” is a

annexation. But photographer Levac is no propa gandist. As a photojournalist he has pro duced numerous hard-hitting shots of the Intifada during his career. In April 1984, one of his photographs unmasked a lie by Sabak, Israel’s internal security police, that lead to the firing of an attorney general. Levac secredy captured the image of Sabak agents leading a handcuffed terrorist away from the scene of a bus attack. Sabak later claimed all of the terrorists had been killed, but Levac’s image proved that one had sur vived. That individual was about to be

The pair is grinning, and both have lost their front teeth. “Jerusalem, 2000” is funny. It shows a man talking on a cell phone in front of a gaudy tapestry of Jesus holding up his fin gers in an identical gesture. Both figures have similar beatific smiles. “Our Country” is sponsored by the public affairs division of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but there are no soldiers or guns in the exhibition. Likewise, the Jerusalem of “Our Country” is indivisible, not sectored into Islamic east and Judaic west. There are no images of the euphemistically termed “security fence” that Palestinians characterize as a de facto

beaten to death in an interrogation. “Our Country” concerns people, not people in conflict. The one piece that ref erences the Holy Land’s unholy troubles is “Yitzhak Rabin, 1922-1995, Mount Herzl Jerusalem, 1995.” Two boys with their backs to the camera stand before a memorial to the martyred Prime Minister, who was gunned down by a right-wing extremist. The boy on the left . wears a plain white tee shirt. The one on the right wears a black shirt with a large skull on the back. It’s hard to believe that visual double entendre slipped by Ariel Sharon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But their loss is our gain. This is a show no one should miss. (?)

Touching the Void ★ ★ ★ ★

HIGH DRAMA MacDonald's harrowing account may be the finest mountain climbing movie ever made.

hould Mel Gibson have any funny ideas about basing his next extravaganza on the book of Job, he would be wfse to forget them. Such a project would almost surely wind up looking like a light hearted romp next to Touching th e Void , director Kevin MacDonald’s harrowing tale of adversity transcended. MacDonald earned an Academy Award for the 2000 documen tary O n e D a y in Septem ber , in which he recounts the tragic events which took place at the 1972 Olympiad. His latest — part docu mentary, part re-enactment — tells the astounding tale of the ordeal two twentysomething British climbers underwent almost 20 years ago in the Peruvian Andes. In 1985 Joe Simpson and Simon Yates joined forces to scale the west face of a mountain called Siula Grande, the only face in the range yet to be successfully climbed. Young, fit and with lots of experience in the Alps, the two decided to employ the Alpine or “one push” approach. Supplies are limited to minimize weight. Everything needed is carried, rather than cached along the route in base camps. The idea is to get up and back down in a single, brazen spurt. According to Simpson, the pair looked forward to “a challenging day out.” Seven days in hell is what they got. MacDonald chronicles their adventure using an Errol-Morris-meets-lmax combination of on-thescene footage, event recreation and interviews. It’s a testament to the story’s power that knowing both men survived to tell the tale on screen doesn’t make it the slightest bit less amazing. Simpson and Yates did, in fact, get to the summit with relative ly little trouble. That’s when their problems began. “Eighty per cent of all accidents happen on descent,” Simpson informs us. He should know. Everything that could possibly go wrong did go wrong for him. The only thing between the two climbers and a 20,000-foot plummet was a 300-foot length of rope. When Simpson became disoriented in a storm and suddenly went into freefall down the mountain, Yates was anchored in place and able to hold him. Simpson’s leg was shattered in the accident, however, his calf bone rammed up through the joint of his knee. Normally, on a two-man climb, this would have been a death sentence. A

storm had engulfed them. They had run out of fuel, food and water. Both men were slowly freezing to death. Simpson was in agonizing pain and could no longer walk. To his surprise, though, Yates didn’t “go for help,” a euphemism for leaving a crippled climber to die in order to save oneself. Rather, he devised a method o f lowering his friend 300 feet at a time. Repeating the maneuver over and over, the young men began to believe they’d seen the worst of it and might just make it to the bottom together, at which point, help would be a mere few miles’ hobble away. That’s when Simpson realized that Yates had lowered him over a precipice. For more than an hour, he dangled in space, a blizzard making it impossible for the friends to hear one another’s shouts. Since it was night, Simpson had no idea what lay below him or how far below it lay. Three hundred feet away, Yates had no idea why his partner wasn’t tugging on the rope, the signal that he’d anchored himself and it was safe for Yates to descend to his position. Yeats real ized that his strength was draining and his body temperature felling, and that he was gradually slipping down the mountain and would die if he didn’t take action. So he did the unthinkable for a climber: He cut the rope. I want so badly to tell you what happened after that. It’s the sort of man-versus-the-elements saga that you can’t look away from while it’s unfolding, can’t believe could actually have taken place, and then can’t wait to blab in minute detail to anyone who will listen. But that would be wrong. Life is less than generous when it comes to doling out opportunities for true astonishment, and this is one. You deserve to be as blown away as I was. Suffice it to say that MacDonald has made the finest moun tain-climbing movie you are likely ever to come across. The cine matography is awesome, Alex Heffes’ score terrific, the reenact ments remarkably credible and the effect of looking into the haunted eyes of these now fortysomething men unforgettable. Plainly, at one point or another, 40 was something neither believed he’d live to see. It’s a shame the tide M iracle was taken. Here’s a film befitting it. ®

hallow crowd-pleasers like the justopened Starsky & Hutch earn big bucks while more nourishing small films from other countries get scant attention — if they ever even open in the United States at all. So events like Montpelier’s Green Mountain Film Festival, which runs from March 19 to 28 this year, become an important means of spreading the word about potential art-house gems. Case in point: Open Hearts, a some what generic tide for a very specific tale with mesmerizing power. Although the Danish selection is theoretically one of those minimalist Dogma ’95 productions, director Susanne Bier seems to break some rules by employing several cinematic tricks

The camera appears to use color filters during credit sequences, for example, and the soundtrack is full of sad, English-language love songs. Nonetheless, the requisite spare approach to storytelling keeps the picture from devolving into sentimental mush. It’s a harrowing tale of anguish reminis cent of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes F rom a

with relationships that unravel as the audience watches helplessly. In O p e n H ea rts, that process involves Cecelie and Joachim, an attractive young couple devastated when he’s hit by a car. The driver is Marie, a middleaged woman whose own life will never be the same again. Her doctor husband, Niels, befriends the distraught Cecelie just as Joachim learns that he is perma nently paralyzed. Strong performances, particularly by Sonja Richter as Cecelie, give this Dogma drama its bite. She’s a naturalborn heartbreaker. The same can be said for Dinara Drukarova, Nino Khumasuridze and 90-year-old Esther Gorintin, the lead actresses in Since Otar Left. Set in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, the contemporary saga by Julie Bertucelli is an intimate family portrait with univer sal meaning. In Tblisi, the capital city of a land coping with stagnation since the Iron Curtain crumbled, a college student shares a cramped apartment with her widowed mother and grandmother. The elderly woman, still nostalgic for Stalin, is obsessed with the intermittent letters and phone calls from her son Otar. After leaving behind his medical training to find work as a common laborer in France, he periodically sends money home. In his absence, the others remain trapped by dysfunction. Dysfunction Junction might be an appropriate name for the small town in Hungary where Hukkle takes place. M a rria g e,

This thoroughly bizarre experiment by Gyorgi Palfi defies description, but here goes: Largely dialogue-free, it uses ambi ent sound as a sort of symphonic com mentary on the hamlet’s daily routines and extraordinary occurrences. An apparent murder mystery is as tangled up in the forces of nature as the quirky motives of humankind. On firmer narrative ground, Michel Deville’s Almost Peaceful depicts French Holocaust survivors carving out an uncertain future in Paris. It’s 1946 and they’re all damaged goods. Albert, who spent most of World War II in hid ing, operates a tailor shop where the employees grapple with personal sorrows. His wife Lea is attracted to Charles, a man futilely waiting for loved ones to return from the death camps. Maurice seeks solace in the arms of a prostitute. Madame Andree, the only one in the group who’s not Jewish, tries to help a niece now being persecuted for her romantic liaison with a German soldier.

through the model train show last Saturday, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was irrNeverNever Land. Though they've aged, these guys — ‘ . most of them were middle-aged guys — have refused to grow up and stop playing with toys. Are model trains mere toys? Well, some of them clearly are. One gray-haired vendor pointed to a collector's item — a pink Lionel locomotive, marketed years ago as a girls' toy train. Lionel discontinued it after realizing that the girls want ed the same black trains the boys got. The price tag on the chipped, less-than-mint-condition engine read $250. The vendor, who calls himself "The Patch King" — he sells over 600 varieties of railroad patches, as well as hand-sewn engineer caps for your cat — explained that a well-main tained pink engine and a full set of cars could fetch ten grand. But the trains themselves are only part of the hobby demonstrated here by the Northwest Vermont Model Railroading Society. Serious "modelers" con struct elaborate scenes through which they run their tracks. One vendor sold accessories like a city viaduct ($15), and an Art Deco movie theater ($60). The Patch King showed me a two-foot-long, metal replica of New York's Hell's Gate Bridge that someone was selling for $1200. Chris Bertelsen told me, "For someone who's a perfectionist, this is the ideal hobby." Bertelsen was manning the switches for the club's trains. Several ran at once on four separate concentric oval tracks. I examined the cars on a freight train, handpainted and customized by club member Lew White. Inside one tiny boxcar, a half-inch-tall man in jeans and a work shirt held a push broom whpse handle was thinner than a strand of uncooked angel hair pasta. The broom hovered a fraction of an inch above the floor, over a pile of dust, frozen in mid-sweep. Sadly, the club's Amtrak passenger cars were empty — just like the real ones.

Warm days and frosty nights mean sweet times in the Green Mountain State. While sugar makers do the hard work of gathering sap and boiling it down, the rest of us reap the sticky rewards at sugar-on-snow celebrations. Dakin Farm's festivities feature maple-flavored edibles from baked bea^is to donuts. The Green Mountain Audubon Center serves syrup-drenched shaved-ice with a side of dill pickles and a healthy dose of education. Maple-curious folks can tour the sugarbush, visit the sugar shack and drop by a re-created Abenaki longhouse to hear legends about how Vermont's first residents made the the most of maple. "A," "B," and "fancy" fans alike are in for a sweet afternoon.

Kifla Kidane believes he was "born to dance." But when the Ethiopian Dance Theater performer immigrated to the U.S. in 1990, he was uninspired by Western rhythms. So he formed the New Nile Orchestra. The Vermont-based sextet fuses standard instrumentation with Kidane's traditional Amharic lyrics to create infec tio u s Afro-pop tunes. When he's not singing, Kidane leaps around the stage and leads the audience in Ethiopian line-dances. The high-energy band has opened for acts like Rusted Root and Jimmy Cliff. World-music fans can feel the authentically inspired polyrhythms for themselves. Fair warning: listening can lead to loss of bodily control.

GOT SPRING FEVER? STRAWBERRY BLONDE/

Dear Lola, I saw a le tte r in you r recent p u b lic a tio n from a woman loo kin g fo r sex toys. I m ig h t be available as a sex toy, and she w o u ld n 't have to clean me as she w ould a toy. I could do i t m yself. You probably have g o tte n a lo t o f notes like th is . W illin g in Warren Dear W illin g , Actually, not. I t takes someone special to aspire to the status o f an inanim ate object — even one th a t comes w ith batter ies attached. But maybe you ju s t need some clarification about why people play w ith sex toys in the firs t place. Sure they're used for solo sex, and many auto-eroticists don't have access to flesh-and-blood partners. But plenty o f people who are actively paired enjoy self-stim ulation. And flex-o-teasers and m icro-mermaids and th e ir ilk can also come in handy as supplements fo r coupled copulation. To put i t more plainly, you can't judge a person's social life by the contents o f his or her shopping cart. Love, Lola

BY ROB BREZSN Y

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope

M A R C H 1 8 -2 4

1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): For too long, grace has eluded you; you have had to fight your way through life. But now your luck is about to turn; your soul will get the refreshment it needs. To celebrate, imagine you’re the one speaking in this poem by Theodore Roethke: “Near the rose, in this grove of sun-parched, wind-warped madrones Among the half-dead trees, I came upon the true ease of myself, As if another person appeared out of the depths of my being, And I stood out.side myself, Beyond becoming and per ishing. A something wholly other, As if I swayed out on the wildest wave alive, And yet was still. And I rejoiced in being what I was.”

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): In the first M atrix movie, the central character, Thomas “Neo” Anderson, gradually begins to suspect that his entire understanding of reality is a delu sion. At a key moment, a mysterious ally named Morpheus offers him a choice between two pills. If Neo takes the red pill, Morpheus tells him, he will be able to see the truth he has been blind to. If he swallows the blue pill, he will sink comfortably back into the lie he has been living. I see the coming weeks as a comparable turning point for you, Taurus. Which will it be, the red pill or the blue pill?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ll tell you a little cosmic secret, Gemini. One o f the best ways to stay on top — which is where you are now, right? — is to keep paying homage to the bottom. So as you harvest your good fortune in the coming weeks, I suggest you express your gratitude for the painful experi

ences that have taught you how to thrive. While basking in the glow of people’s praise and attention, recall the parts of you that are still unripe. When you come home after a day o f radiant success, take out the garbage.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Last century, Walt Disney coined a word for the inventive engineers who designed the rides and attractions for Disneyland: imagineers, In anticipation of the creativ ity I expect will flow through you this week, Cancerian, I’m going to describe you, too, as an imagineer. It’s not that I expect you to literally invent a radical new variation on a roller coaster or any thing. But there’s a good chance you’ll come up with brilliant innovations in the way you have fun.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): W hat’s the best way to get yourself in sync with the plans that the Goddess has for you? Follow poet Robert Bly’s admonition to “poke holes in your habits.” Flere are a few suggestions to get you started. Strike up a conversation with a person you’d normally ignore. Write with your non-dominant hand. Try a food you’ve never tasted. Sprinkle seldom-used words like “sublime,” “curiosity” and “reverence” into your conversation. Walk backwards now and then. Slap a crafty grin on your face and wish for something impossible.

SCORPIO

VIRGO

brute force to serve its narrow economic aims? Or will it be a gracious sovereign, leading a movement to bring democracy and freedom to every corner of the globe? In my view, Scorpio, you’re facing a small-scale version of this dilemma in your personal sphere. How will you handle the weighty responsibilities that accompany your increasing clout? Will you mostly indulge your selfish interests, or will you work for the good of all?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov22Dec. 21): It took six years for Mark Salzman to write his novel, Lying Awake. When it was done, he told the New Yorker about the tortures he’d put himself through as he fought against writer’s block. During one stretch, he shut out distracting sounds by wrapping a towel around his head. To discourage his cats from crawling on his lap as he wrote, he covered his lower body with aluminum . foil. But nothing worked until he fled to a quiet cabin in the woods. “It was like waking from a bad dream,” he said, “— the removal of all the reminders of art as a profession, as a way of making money or gaining a reputation. The book wrote itself in five weeks.” I suspect that after enduring a period akin to Sajzman’s ardu ous warm-up, Sagittarius, you’re about to have a cathartic five-week breakthrough of your own.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Your imminent future reminds me of the archaeologists in Scotland who celebrated when they thought they found the remains of a ninth-century Viking village. Upon further review, however, they realized it was actually the site of a suburban patio from the 1940s. Like them, Capricorn, you will probably

be disappointed in your initial forays into the mysterious depths; what you unearth will rouse hopes that are quickly dashed. Unlike the archaeologists, though, you will eventually locate treas ure lying beneath the discredited discov ery — if you keep digging, that is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Be born into the right family. Choose your chromosomes wisely.” So begins a list in which Aquarian heiress Paris Hilton details her secrets of suc cess. “Develop a way of entering a room that looks almost royal — but N O T snobby,” she continues. “Never have only one cell phone when you can have many. Eat only the worst junk food or the most fabulous food there is, but nothing in between. Only sleep in Egyptian cotton sheets with a 400 to 600 thread count.” I offer you these definitions, Aquarius, in the hope that they’ll inspire you to compose your own list. It’s an ideal time for you to get very specific about how you plan to achieve happiness and fulfillment.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It’s check-in time, Pisces. W hat progress have you been making in your work on this year’s major assignment? As I sug gested last December, 2004 will be prime time for learning much, much more about the arts of intimacy. So have you been shedding bad habits and unripe attitudes that in the past inter fered with your ability to get the close ness you want? Have you sought teach ing from experts who are wise about relationships? Have you vowed to seek unions only with emotionally intelligent people who take responsibility for their own darkness? ®

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’m always on the lookout for real heroes. Not the celebrities, athletes and other fake heroes endlessly hyped by the mainstream media, but brave innovators who show courageous flair in standing up for what’s right. The good news is that I recendy located an actual hero, and he’s a Libra. It’s Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco, a Rosa Parks like figure in the crusade to extend a full array of civil liberties to gays. In his calm fight for fairness, in his skillful use of logic to deal with emotionally charged issues, and in his artful approach to breaking an absurd taboo against joy and passion, he has embod ied the highest expression of your sign’s potentials. I recommend that you imi tate his approach in your own sphere during the coming weeks.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his book, America As Empire: G bbal Leader or Rogue Power?, Jim Garrison says America has changed from being a (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t republic to an imperial empire. If you’re sit there passively, Virgo, hoping that fate liberal, you hate this development, and will be nice to you. Be aggressive about if you’re conservative, you like it; but in ' cultivating good fortune. Drum up and any case, the deed is done. The genie track down the lucky breaks you need. won’t go back into the bottle. The ques To get you ytrphe mood, I’ve infused the t i o n now is, h<Jw will America wield its rest of this horoscope with subliminal global power? Will it be a bully using

suggestions that are scientifically formu lated to make you a magnet for favors and synchronicities. (Combustion luster Verve blaze.) They will set in motion shifts in your inner chemistry that will help other people see how beautiful you are. (Luminous flourish lucid mojo.) Soon you’ll be tuning in to evidence that life is actually conspiring for you to suc ceed. (Lightning splendor, wake-up fuel.)

B o r n

t’s been six years of marriage; so, where are the chil dren? If at first it seemed that Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler Corp. preferred co-habitation to conjugation after their celebrated 1998 nuptials, that staid Victorian notion has been dispelled with the arrival of a cherubic, jaunty love child bearing the evocative name Chrysler Crossfire. The 2004 Crossfire is undeniably the progeny of two noble, if somewhat unequal, dynasties. It is the first genuine sports car ever to wear Chrysler’s heraldic winged crest. But it has clearly been born under the auspices of a three-pointed star, and Mercedes-Benz’s double-helixes are insinuated throughout. Most obvi ously, there’s a 3.2-liter 18-valve V6 underhood that’s been plucked directly from Mercedes’ E- and M-Class vehicles. Moreover, Crossfire is being assembled in conjunction with the venerable German carrosserie Karmann, with which the Daimler firm — in one form or another — has had a relationship since 1901. W hat renders the Crossfire so delightfully distinc tive, however, is its lovely, impertinent, anachronistic styling. W hat you see when you gaze "upon those long, lovely fenders; those tense, coiled flanks; that improb able coxcomb rising from the roofline is an Art Deco distillation straight from the 1930s. Call up the image of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150 SS, or the same year’s Bugatti 57 Atlantic, and see if you don’t agree. Even the four-passenger Chrysler Airflow CU from 1934 induces an eerie frisson of premonition. W ith the Crossfire, Chrysler has set crosshairs directly upon such rivals as Audi’s T T Coupe, the Infiniti G35 Coupe and the new Nissan 350Z. Its price in the mid-$30,000 range is a bull’s-eye. Crossfire even hopes to lure roadster devotees away from their Honda S2000s, Porsche Boxsters and BMW Z4s with a topless Crossfire cabriolet already announced for ‘05. I’m enthralled with Crossfire’s evocative silhouette, which incorporates a 7.6 cu.-ft. “backpack” as its cargo

2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE; 2-pass., 2-door; RWD, 3.2-liter S0HC V6; 6-sp. manual or 5-sp. auto w/AutoStick; 215 HP/229 ft.-lbs.; cargo: 7.6 cu. ft.; base prices, inch 4-wheel independent susp. 8< ABS disc brakes, 18-in.-front 8< 19-in.-rear wheels, dual auto HVAC, Infinity Modulus AM/FM/CD, tire-pressure monitor, towaway protection, side airbags: $34,495-$35,570.

hold. To drive the Crossfire, with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic/AutoStick powertrain, only sharpens the pangs of desire. Weighing only 3,000 lbs., Crossfire makes the most of its spare 215 horsepower. Throttle response is magnificent, and the six-speed box in particular allows delicate manipulation of the powerband. The brakes are massive, made possi ble, in fact, by giant 18-inch wheels up front and even larger 19-inchers at rear. The combination of a very low center of gravity with racy double-wishbone front suspension and a five-link independent rear translates into fabulous, flat cornering. For a five-and-a-half-footer, the Crossfire interior is a cocoon of comfort and function. A six-and-a-half footer, however, will have a vastly different opinion. Still, some design elements perplex me. For all the sophistication of the sheet metal sculpture that results in delicate “speed strakes” across the hood and that coxcomb over the central roofline, why did Chrysler settle for dinky plastic side gills to cover fake ventila tion ducts in the fenders? As for the sun visors, they’re each the size of a large fingernail paring. It’s nice to see all the Mercedes-Benz switchgear for instruments and controls. With the good, however, was also inherited a persistent flaw: Mercedes drivers already know about the way the cruise-control and

turn-signal stalks interfere with one another and feel similar to the touch. Now Crossfire owners will have their own chance to be similarly annoyed. These quirks are as nothing to the overall impression of driving one of the most unusual vehicles to appear in North America for decades. The Crossfire seems to spellbind unsuspecting motorists; and on one freeway outing, I detected in the rearview mirror a driver-’s frantic maneuvers to draw even with me. W hen she did, her head swiveled around, and with eyes saucer wide, she fired an appreciative thumbs-up in my direction. She was driving a Mercedes-Benz E320. But of course. She was family. (Z)
