Peter Kurth hit the nail on the head in his column on Bush vs. Iraq [“Crank Call,” Feb. 19]. I never understood how the % German people could sit back and let Hitler ruin their country until I saw what George W. Bush is doing to ours. All it takes is for a flag-waving public to accept W hite House press releases as reality, and for the media to become cheerleaders instead of responsible journalists. How is spending billions to fight a ridiculous war in Iraq going to make our country stronger? O ur allies (the ones we haven’t bribed into submission) think were bullying idiots. Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 or al Qaeda. Even our own CIA admits this. The inspections are working. Were causing danger ous tensions by forcing countries to support us even when it goes against their peoples wishes. We have no idea how long we’ll have to stay in Iraq, how much it will cost us or what the consequences for the region will be. This unelected little man, Bush, is destroying our economy with deficits and debt, making a joke of our Constitution by

throwing out our civil liberties, polluting our air and water by weakening our environmental protection, and ruining our glob al reputation. Bush must thank God every night for 9/11. Blaming Clinton for the treasonous damage that Bush and his handlers have done to this country was getting some what stale. W hat does it take for the Love-It-Or-Leave-It crowd to open their eyes? Chris Ray -

over the decency of television, but I think we can all accept the fact that bowel movements are a hobby shared by everyone. I’m not saying it should be the topic of discussion at dinner parties, but this is, after all, toilet paper we’re talking about (what the crap is bathroom tissue, any way?). Sure, talk of plys and quiltings are important, but I applaud Cottonelle for address ing my primary toilet-paper con cern: whether or not their prod uct will turn my cornhole into a burnin’ ring of fire.

IT HAPPENS

The irony of reading Rick Kisonak’s article concerning toi let-paper commercials [“Tubefed,” Feb. 19] while I was eating at a Mexican restaurant did not escape me. But it got me think ing. I think it’s time that Rick is let in on a little secret: People poop. Every day. Some more than others. Others less than some. Everyone, apparently, more than Rick. But it’s pretty much guaranteed that at some time, somewhere in the course of your life, shit will happen. So why not talk about it? Indeed, the subject of toilet paper is the perfect forum for it. I appreciate Rick’s concern

ABOUT FACE

How did Peter Freyne rehabili tate Howard Dean? For several years I have followed Peter Freyne’s column and his atten- 1 tion to Howard Dean’s peccadil loes. I was startled this week to see that presidential candidate Dean is somewhat different from Governor Dean [“Inside Track,” Feb. 19]. As far as I can see he is the same ruthless and dishonest politician now as when he was \ governor. . * W hat makes Peter Freyne think that Howard Dean would handle the environmental crisis

le n the United States any better a han he handled the environmenal crisis in Vermont? In the 10 ic /ears that Howard Dean presided jver the state of Vermont, our r environment has suffered from lis duplicity and lack of atten:ion. Vermont has a serious probem with agricultural pesticides, vhich is having a direct effect on the health of adults and children. 1_ He likes to refer to himself as ' Howard Dean, M .D. and yet a

under his administration both the Department of Agriculture and the Department Agency of Natural Resources have looked the other way while citizens suf fer the consequences. Vermont is among the top 10 states in the U.S. with the incidence of breast cancer and prostate cancer and likewise with autoimmune dis eases. If this were New Jersey, perhaps I would understand... Dr. Dean failed the citizens of

Vermont by jeopardizing our health. The spots will not change as President. Seven Days is the one newspaper in the state, which aspires to honest journal ism. Keep your focus on that goal. George A. Trickett ORWELL

BUYING BOYCOTT FOR PEACE

In Karen Shimizu’s concluding remarks about the antiwar march

on NYC [“Walking the Talk,” Feb. 19] she said, “We need to find more lasting forms of activism, more effective ways to register dissent.” I too, have been struggling with this issue, and have come to this: At the root of this threatened war is what moti vates our current “leaders” — money, greed, profit, economics. And like it or not, we all play a part in the scheme; we are the body (the 95 percent of the pop ulation) that supports the head (the richest 5 percent of the pop ulation, including most of our “leaders”). I propose that an economic protest would actually start to make their ears tingle. Threat ening to stop buying things amounts to a modern revolution ary battle cry. Yes, it might affect businesses, employees, all of us, but at some point we need to be willing to do something uncom fortable to force change in an abusive unresponsive and danger ous government. Perhaps cancel ing subscriptions to govern

ment/corporate controlled news papers could be a start. Then limiting any purchases of “stuff” to local, independent community shops, artisans, used book stores, etc. I think it’s time to start a dialogue about using our eco nomic leverage to make our cur rent administration take notice and refocus priorities. Melanie Putz Brotz BURLINGTON

GETTING THE POINT

By now the topic o f The Point (fondly remembered as W NCS) is becoming old. However, being a strong critic in the recent past, I feel some praise is merited for the recent change putting Sam Kopper on in the morning. Sam is like a breath of fresh air. His show brings The Point closer to its former self and I for one am glad to see some change in that direction. I applaud The Point for listening to its listeners. Monique Hayden WILLIAMSTOWN

CORRECTIONS:

Based on erroneous information, in our story “Hot Spots” last week, we reported that Burlington bar Red Square had been closed for two weeks due to a fire code-related violation. In fact it was two days, in 1999. O ur apologies for the mistake. -

e pause in our regularly scheduled pro gramming to bring you the following' announcement from the White House: Diplomacy is for wimps. In the new mil lennium, might makes right. It’s back to the jungle time, folks. Have a wonderful day! The good news is, Coach Tom Brennan and his UVM mens B-ball team climbed Everest for the first time Saturday, winning the league championship and sending Vermont to the NCAA playoffs for the first time ever. The hearts of Vermont fans go with them. But on Monday, St. Paddy’s Day, we were quickly brought back to Ground Zero. The big, bad world is a freaking mess. At 10 a.m. that morning, our United Nations ambassador John N egroponte announced the U.S. had abandoned President George W. B ush’s declaration that we’d seek Security Council backing for a fresh war resolution before unleashing Armageddon. France and Germany, old friends from the world wars of the last century, had made their opposition perfectly clear. So had old enemies from the Cold War, Russia and China. The votes Dubya need ed simply weren’t there. On Sunday, King Bush II flew all the way to Tenerife to have his picture taken alongside the only friends he could round up for a photo op: British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the prime ministers of Portugal and Spain, gentlemen few Americans have ever heard of. Not even Canada and Mexico are on board for this one, folks. And last week, as Irish Prime Minster Bertie A h em presented Dubya with the traditional bowl of shamrocks, the Tao iseach also gave our president a little headsup. Mr. Ahern told Dubya that if the Yanks and the Brits go into Baghdad without a fresh U.N. resolution behind them, he shouldn’t count on continued landing rights for military planes at Shannon Airport. So where does that leave us? In a not very nice place. The United Nations was founded almost 60 years ago because the survivors of World War II — a horror in which an estimated 61 million people got wasted — put the rights of the Earth’s citizens ahead of the right of their rulers to slaughter them at will. Peace is a human right. But on worldwide television Monday evening, our president publicly thumbed his nose at the United Nations. Diplomacy is henceforth irrelevant. Under the new Bush Doctrine, America will do what it damn well pleases. “I think that any time killing and vio lence have got to be used to resolve con flict, [it] indicates a failure of human intel ligence and a failure of the human spirit,” said a sober Rep. B em ie Sanders Monday. O f Bernardo was at the H.O. Wheeler School in Burlington’s Old North End.to

announce a $100,000 federal grant that will open a dental clinic at the school. Tooth decay is a serious medical problem among the poor, noted Sanders. Many of the children of refugees at Wheeler rarely see a dentist. That’ll soon change. But like a toothache that won’t go away, the unfolding events on the world stage were bugging Bernie. “If the U.S. defies international law,” said Sanders, “and if the U.S. and Britain defy the United Nations, then we are establishing a horrendous precedent for the future.” Any country that wants to go to war for any reason will feel justified in doing do. Mr. Sanders called the Bush Doctrine “a movement toward internation al anarchy.” The invasion of Iraq, warned Bernie, will end up “helping a fanatic like Osama bin Laden attract more recruits.” Great. At the Statehouse Tuesday, the morning after President Bush gave Saddam H ussein 48 hours to get out of Dodge, the impending fog of war was distracting many from their appointed rounds. A staffer working for the Legislative Council’s office handed us a copy of an antiwar letter to the editor she’d sent The Burlington Free Press a month ago. She wanted to know if yours truly could explain why it hasn’t been published. Sen. Susan Bartlett (D-Lamoille) stopped in the hallway and remarked on the “disconnect” between her duties as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and “a federal government that’s bleeding the states dry financially while spending billions of dollars” on the destruction of Iraq. “It’s like this absurd take-over-the-world routine,” said Bardett. “It’s irresponsible in so many ways.” Sen. Mark MacDonald (D-Orange) sauntered by and handed yours truly a copy of the email he’d just received from a constituent. It was Shakespeare: “Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizen ry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It embold ens the blood, just as it narrows the mind... And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind is closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. “Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and glad ly so. How do I know? “For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.” Yes, indeed, this conquer-the-world stuff has been around a long, long time. When, oh, when will we ever learn, eh? “It’s always the old who lead us to the war,” sang Phil Ochs in the ’60s, “always the young who fall.” And as we turned the corner in the Statehouse cafeteria, we were reminded just who the “young” are.

Getting to Know You Atlantaarea authorities accused Jeffrey Bernard Fuller, 35, of “taking sexual liberties” with men during routine medical exams. DeKalb County District Attorney J. Tom Morgan said that Fuller performed unnecessary prostate and pelvic exams “for his own sexual gratification” while conducting exams for insurance companies. The screening exams typically involve only drawing blood, taking blood pressure and asking a few health-related ques tions, Morgan said, telling the Atlanta Journal Constitution that Fuller’s vic tims could number in the hundreds.

to get attention from women. According to sheriffs representative Bob Carpenter, the man flails his arms, coughs and sputters, then when a woman rushes over to help, he recovers and showers her with gratitude, hugs and kisses. Authorities aren’t sure of the man’s motives and, beyond alerting the public, aren’t investigating the incidents. “There’s been no crime,” Carpenter told the Charlotte Sun Herald. “Our hands are kind of tied here.”

what appeared to be a handgun in his apartment, police evacuated the man’s building, rerouted traffic and called in a SWAT team to help defuse the situa tion. When police contacted the man, he explained that he was upset at his computer, calling it a “bitch” that he “wanted to kill,” and threatened it with a plastic pellet gun. “It was alarming and concerning and expen sive for us,” Deputy Police Chief Dave Hayes said, “but the man’s conduct didn’t warrant any criminal charges.”

Litigation Nation Miami’s Aventura Hospital and Medical Center filed a lawsuit against a 76-year-old patient who refused to leave. The suit claims that after four months’ treat ment for respiratory problems, the patient is well enough to go to a nurs ing-care facility, but he won’t budge, and his wife and daughter won’t give the hospital permission to discharge him. Insisting the case is not about money, hospital CEO Davide Carbone told the Miami Herald, “It’s clear this is not an appropriate use of the hospital.”

• Police in Scotland warned people to be on the alert after an Edinburgh woman reported that a man poured baked beans over her feet. The man, whom she said was in his early thirties and had an educated accent, entered a store where she works and claimed to be raising money for charity by per forming bizarre stunts. He then poured the beans and other canned goods over her feet, took some photo graphs of her feet and left. The victim called police after realizing that the man had not brought any witnesses to his charitable stunt. • The Charlotte County, Florida, SherifFs Office reported receiving at least six calls about a short, dumpy man faking choking episodes in Punta Gorda

someone had scattered change from the cash register on the floor, used the store’s toilet without flushing it and left a large black pistol on the bath room counter. Then she heard some one snoring in a big bed that is part of a sales display and called police. They woke the man and arrested him for breaking into the store, which is owned by the wife of the county dis trict attorney. “I think he was a pretty dumb burglar,” Sidener said. “O f all the places in town he has to break in to, he picks the DA’s wife’s shop.”

the entire home had suffered extensi smoke and water damage. After inve tigators concluded that embers from the burning test blew back inside an started the fire, the boy was charged with arson. “His motivations were m ? to set the house on fire and burn it down to the ground,” police Lt. Kev Smith told Newsday. “But he inten tionally set the papers on fire.” • Police in Novato, California, said that Ulysses Davis, 44, was furious about being jilted when he doused h 1990 Ford station wagon with a flam mable liquid, set it on fire and drove the flaming vehicle into his estrange! _ girlfriend’s home, hoping she would die in an epic inferno. The car rolled into the woman’s bedroom and stopped a few feet from where she w sleeping, but she and three other peo pie in the house escaped uninjured. Davis jumped out of the car and ran off, but police found him nearby, arrested him and took him to the hoi pital with severe burns on his face an hands.

Using video clips and overhead transparencies of news stories, Professor Meyroy/itz will describe how the news media shape public per ceptions of Iraq. “ Most Americans must rely on the news to inform them about non local places, people, and events," says Meyrowitz. “And in democracies such as ours, most citizens tend to believe the news media. This gives the news media an awesome responsibility to report accurately and fully." Prof. Meyrowitz will describe both good and bad reporting, suggest reliable sources of information, and outline promising and troubling , trends in U.S. journalism. This event is sponsored by the Peace and Justice Center of Burlington and the Regional Educational Technology Network (RETN) and is free and open to the public. Donations to help pay the cost of the event are welcome.

Jpping the “Anti”

f k.

•V & i !■

’m going to step outside my usual bailiwick of ecology this week — it’s hard to get into a lather over Act 250 reforms or Governor Douglas’ appointments when war is loom ing. I heard one media person recently declare that anxiety about invading Iraq has the nation collectively on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Indeed, it seems as though the Bush administration’s modus operandi is to keep the public in a hyper state of worry. . The good news is that Americans are much more engaged politically, and com munally, in times like these. I would bet that U.S. citizens are more aware of the inner workings of the United Nations than ever before. People are also gathering to protest in record numbers. Even on some of this win ter’s coldest days, thousands of demonstra tors have turned out to be counted in every corner of the state. Our congressional dele gation has heard the calls for peace and lined up against Bush’s war. Governof Douglas, on the other hand, has left him self vulnerable in an antiwar state by Stick ing so closely to “his friend,” the president. This is a fertile time for activism. But I’m afraid Vermont’s antiwar leadership is veering into the ditch of predictability and missing an important opportunity to effec tively organize. For example, the recent gatherings in Montpelier are beginning to feel more and more like a habit. Every week, it seems, there’s another call to rally and freeze on the Statehouse steps, and with each one the crowds and the enthusiasm grow smaller. Pretty soon the only ones left will be Grace Paley and Bread & Puppet. The problem is not that there have been too many rallies, but rather that they have been almost completely lacking in imagi nation. The masses grow bored with the same talking heads and platitudes. The leaders just aren’t leading. We’ve seen Vermont’s activists advocate for further inspections in Iraq more times than we can count. But the urge to preach to the choir is apparently unstoppable. I had the opportunity to attend two Statehouse rallies last week on consecutive days. Thursday, I was one of about 30 peo ple who heard Rep. Dave Zuckerman call on the state legislature to label genetically modified foods. Friday, I was among the crowd of about 100 who heard Zuckerman call on the state legislature to oppose the war. Ho-hum. Don’t get me wrong, Dave Zuckerman is a wonderful guy. He’s bright, committed and an organic farmer. But until we get about 30 or 40 more Zuckermans calling for some sanity under the golden dome, the Left is sunk. Meanwhile, outside the Statehouse, leaders of the antiwar movement are not offering creative alternatives. If they get around to asking demonstrators to do any thing, it’s usually the near-passive “call your legislator.” Ho-hum. The adults could learn a thing or two from the kids at Montpelier High School. Two weeks ago 60 of them bolted from class and took to the streets to protest Bush’s proposed war on Iraq. They literally

com ing soon a p la c e to buy shoes in buriington took the town by surprise and weren’t afraid to break a few rules along the way, including truancy and marching without a permit. Better yet, they marched up to the gov ernor’s office and demanded to meet with him. When Douglas declared he “was shy” and would meet only with three or four of the students, they said no dice —- it’s all or nothing. They won, forcing Douglas to come into the hallway and meet them on their terms. A week later, some grownups held a similar rally on the Statehouse steps, replete with calls to go talk to the gover nor. But when Douglas told them he only wanted to meet with a small delegation, the protestors acquiesced. They allowed Douglas to dictate the terms while they sat obediently in his presence. This nation is on the precipice of war. The U.S. government is about to begin killing Iraqis in our name. And a president who wasn’t even properly elected is cata pulting the world into an anxiou%state of disorder. We have to do better than give 20 min utes of our time to “be counted” on the Statehouse steps. We owe it to the world community to do a lot more than stand somberly with a candle flickering in the wind. Here’s a suggestion: If the Bush admin istration thumbs its nose at the world com munity and begins a war against Iraq, the American people need to send a message to the economic heart of this nation. Sadly, we’ve learned that the federal government is not listening to the will of the people. But we do know that Bush and the political elite are listening to — and being held hostage by — the economic behe moths of the nation, i.e., the Wal-Marts, Exxons and GEs. So that is where we should take our activism in the event of war. If the bombs start dropping on Iraq, the antiwar movement needs to strike back in the marketplace. Each and every commu nity should pick a multinational corporate target in its vicinity to picket, occupy and/or close down. We need to hit the war beast where it will smart the most: in the pocketbook. In brief: At its annual meeting held earli er this month, Vermont’s Progressive Party finally broke its silence and voted to oppose Bush’s proposed war on Iraq. Better late than never, I suppose. Interesting, though, that the vote came more than five months after Democrat Howard Dean took his antiwar stand . . . What a sight it was on the Statehouse steps last week when a gaggle of Republican representatives stood above the antiwar protesters to sing “God Bless America.” They were so proud of themselves. The activists eventually moved up to join them, briefly creating an odd alliance. Personally, I like it when my elected representatives respect the Constitutional separation of church and state. It’s also a nice quality in leaders of the Left.®

THE PUZZLE: As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.) When it comes to romance, Fannie's BATTING average has been mixed. To recover from some disappointing dates, she had to put on an OXYGEN mask. One of her suitors, named Harvey Hominy, drove her around in a RATTLETRAP. Harvey's hair was dyed with a PIGMENT th a t resembled the rust on his bumper. He was COWARDLY around pets and would sweat at the sight of a Chihuahua. Boring Fannie to tears, Harvey harped on the DOGMA of the Catholic Church. As he rambled on, she daydreamed about being seduced by a prince from CAMELOT. Harvey babbled about his old fraternity, Theta Beta LAMBDA, which courted nerds. "This is not exactly the APEX of my dating career," thought Fannie. Harvey didn't even notice as Fannie stuffed her ears with SEALING wax. He proposed, then confessed he was a Mormon with a HAREM of twenty-two wives.

Email me with feedback and questions: dd44art@aol.com. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY. I f you're stuck, see the H IN T printed sideways on this page. I f you cave, see the ANSWER on page 12a. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’l l have a whole new set o f likes and dislikes. *

Keeping the Faith? nd so, in my State of the — my State o f the Union — or state — my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation — I asked Americans to give 4000years — 4000 hours over the next — the rest o f your life — ofservice to America. That’s what I asked — 4000 hours. ” — George W. Bush, April 9, 2002

How many hours until the next election, if there is one? Somebody figure it out and get back to me — I’m too busy wait ing for the “moment of truth” Bush promised at his photo-op in the Azores. So far, it’s the one thing I’ve never heard from his mouth. The stench of lying is so thick in this country, we’ll all be wearing masks before the anthrax arrives. “Tomorrow is the day that will determine whether diplomacy can work,” Bush lied on Sunday, having huddled for a minute with Tony Blair and the Spanish prime minister in a trans parently phony “last chance for peace.” He lied again when he blamed the United Nations — and France in particular — for making war on Iraq inevitable. And he lied a third time when he said, “Saddam Hussein can leave the country if he’s interested in peace. You see, the decision is his to make. It’s been his to make all along... And so far he’s made bad decisions.” do Bush, of course, “diplomacy” only means that two or more people are con niving in a room; if he’d wanted it to work, he’d have asked some other nations to the party. Now, on Tuesday, things are moving so fast it’s hard to keep up. Bush has given Saddam 48 hours to leave Iraq and Colin Powell, having withdrawn his bid for a U.N. resolution to authorize the war, says “It’s not a resolution we thought was necessary” in the first place. He’s lying, too: It’s understood in Washington that Powell will pay the price for the Bushmen’s U.N. charade. “There’s a recognition this has not been our finest diplomatic hour,” an unnamed White House official tells The New York Times — the paper adds that his voice was “dripping with understate ment.” A second source confirms, “This has been the worst American diplomatic debacle of our lifetime,” and says that Powell, not Bush, will be “the fall guy” when it’s over. Bush, after all, made his position clear to Bob Woodward: “I don’t need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.” No kidding. In London, two of Tony Blairs cabinet ministers have already resigned, including the leader of the

House of Commons, unable to condone the appalling choice Blair has made for Britain, Europe and the world. Blair him self left the Azores looking stricken, “all set to run the country from an under ground bunker like Winston Churchill,” according to The Independent, “while for the Queen a tightly sealed room is being prepared, secure from radiation and dan gerous viruses.” Frankly, I’m surprised the Queen has n’t hauled Blair down to the palace yet and settled his hash for the grief he gave her when Diana died — all that talk about “public sentiment” and what had to be done “to satisfy national feeling.” Tsk, tsk! Like their counterparts in the U.S., the British media are having some trouble admitting that their leader is just a dope, stuck with a schoolgirl crush on American power and hoisted on his own petard. But you can bet that Blair is praying hard right now to the same God who shared the cover of Newsweek with Bush not long ago — a blind, punitive, pipsqueak Papa, who plainly looks after fools and drunks. “This president — this presidency — is the most resolutely ‘faith-based’ in modern times,” Newsweek remarks with a straight face, “an enterprise founded, sup ported and guided by trust in the tempo ral and spiritual power of God.” You could say the same about Osama bin Laden, of course. Golly, you could say it about “Emmanuel” — Brian David Mitchell, who thinks his nine-month abduction of Elizabeth Smart was “a call from God,” not a kidnapping, and whose lawyer is arguing for a light sentence on the grounds that Mitchell didn’t kill her. “If we can somehow set up some struc ture where the message gets out that if you bring the girl back alive, that there’s some kind of commutation of the sen tence, we may be much better off as a society,” says Mitchell’s attorney. Why not? If we can convince ourselves that George W. Bush is a man of God and that his murderous attack on the Iraqi people will be sharp, quick and clean, we can convince ourselves of any thing. We are without question the dumbest nation on Earth, and, as of now, this week, the most lawless. Meantime, the Vatican reports that 100,000 body bags have been unloaded at the U.S. naval base at Sigonella, Sicily, on their way to you-know-where. “We are doing what needs to be done,” says an administration official who, like so many, refuses to be named: “Some of the plan ning is unpleasant and best discussed in only the most general terms.” Good idea. Maybe it will be over quickly. Maybe God will tell Bush to don a white robe, carry a staff and resign. Maybe Powell will wake up, or Congress rebel. Maybe the moon will fall out of the sky. (7)

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

milk is an unnatural Anglo vice; dairy fans lament that so much of the world is unable to enjoy milk’s benefits. Suffic it to say that milk consumption among northern European has a long history, and their low level of lactose intolerance suggests they’ve adapted. Since you asked, we drink cow’s milk because cows are big enough to produce up to 100 pints per day (try that with a rat). As for cats, who cares what’s bad for them? • M ilk causes heart disease. Sure, if you drink whole milk. It easy enough to switch to the low-fat variety. But milk oppc nents say: the skimmed fat just gets recycled into ice cream cheese and processed foods. Also true — to keep fat con sumption under control, you need to stick to low-fat every thing, not just milk.

Dear Cecil, Lately I ’ve heard that cow milk is the “worst beverage on Earth. ” There are several Web sites about it, like www. milksucks, com and www.notmilk.com, and books that seem a little nutty but make some sensible arguments that I know to be grounded in truth, like (1) many people, including myself, lack the enzyme to digest milk; (2) cow milk is actually bad for cats; and (3) you don’t see people drinking rat milk or dog milk despite the fact that they too produce milk. After that some o f their many arguments against milk, while seemingly exaggerat ed, do make sense. Please help, my wife is six months pregnant and drinking milk like a fish! — Wade Morris Uh, Wade? Fish don’t drink milk. O ther credibility issues’ we need to address include: (a) the milksucks site is run by People for the Ethical Treatment o f Animals, the any-publicity-is-good-publicity animal-rights group that urged col lege students to avoid milk with a “Got Beer?” campaign and asked the governor of Wisconsin to change the state’s official beverage from milk to beer; and (b) the notmilk site is run by Robert Cohen, who has been publicly disavowed by his onetime vegetarian allies (see www.vegsource.com/ articles/cohen/). Nothing personal, but these aren’t the first guys I’d want called as witnesses for the defense during my murder trial. Let’s run through the claims one by one: • Modern dairying methods are cruel to cows and place too great a burden on the environment. Such matters have noth ing to do with whether milk is good for you, and I won’t address them here. But you should know that human health is not the central issue for many milk opponents. • Many people can’t tolerate- milk, children are often allergic to it, and in many cultures no one drinks milk once weaned. True, but so what? Though most folks o f northern European descent can handle plenty of dairy, an estimated 75 percent of blacks, Latinos and Native Americans — and 90 percent of Asians — don’t produce enough lactase, the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar, or lactose. Maybe 1 to 2 percent o f children under age 2 are hypersensitive to cow’s milk. The antidairy faction sees this as evidence that cow’s

• M ilk causes cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and so on. Here wi get into murky territory. Some studies say cow’s milk pro motes breast cancer; others say it suppresses it. Some studie suggest milk is linked to significantly elevated risk of prostate cancer; other says the risk is insignificant or nonex istent. A purported link between milk and diabetes is like wise controversial. Some investigators have found milk pro tects against colorectal cancer; others say the opposite. In short, research to date has been all over the place. Don’t trust blanket statements about little-known dangers or bene fits of milk — for example, PETA’s claim that milk causes osteoporosis. (For the record, current evidence suggests that young women who drink milk reduce their risk, but that the protective benefit diminishes as they age.) The use of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) to increase yields has raised concerns that milk maj be contaminated with hormone residue, pus from rBGHrelated udder infections, antibiotics used to treat those infections, and dangerously elevated levels of a natural growth factor called IGF-1. At this point no human health risk stemming from rBGH use has been demonstrated, but one never knows. • A ll the nutrients milk provides are available from other sources. True, but the typical American diet doesn’t include too many of them. To get calcium without consuming dairy products, for example, you’re supposed to eat canned salmon or sardines, legumes, kale, broccoli and other green vegetables, plus calcium-fortified orange juice or soy milk. ! determined adult can get the recommended daily dose (1000 milligrams) this way, but good luck getting a kid to eat all that. Don’t misunderstand — there’s a lot to be said for a nondairy diet (assuming you cut down on other animal products, too). Adults in other cultures get along without milk, and so can you with a little ingenuity. But I wouldn’t try giving up milk purely because of the supposed health benefits — and I definitely wouldn’t take it away from the kids, who will surely consume enough beer without being told it’s good for the planet. — C E C IL ADAMS

Dear Mr. Cleaver, Thank you for the letter you sent me, regarding the cameras w e have installed on our buses. I hope that this letter will put your concerns at ease.

I At the rfequest of the Burlington School District, CCTA installed video cameras on the buses we use to transport children to school. The school district owns these cameras and our agreement with them is that they will only be used when we are running “Neighborhood Specials”, which are the routes that mainly serve school-aged kids. After the driver has completed these routes, the camera is turned off when he or she begins a fixed-route run. Additionally, CCTA staff members (drivers, maintenance and administrative employees included) do not have access to the videotapes. If an incident on the bus warrants a school administrator to review the tape, school officials come out to the bus to collect the tape. CCTA values all of our passengers and we respect your right to privacy, which is why the video cameras are turned off when the bus is on one of our main routes, at no extra cost to our passengers. In regards to your modeling contract, I do not think that our security cameras are violating your contract, since the sam e type of security camera is used in most department stores and financial institutions to ensure that their patrons are safe while on their premises. Thank you for your patronage and your support of public transportation. If you need any other assistance while you utilize the C C TA bus system, please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely,

Maryai^njDanahy Marketing and Public Affairs lanager

Business lobbyist Gerry Morris of Charlotte has been working under the golden dome since the 1980s. Seems only yes terday his little girl Bridget Morris was knee-high. Time sure flies. Last May, Morris the Cat watched his darling daughter graduate from UVM. This week, Lt. Bridget Morris commands 24 soldiers on a Patriot missile launcher somewhere in the war zone. Morris told Seven Days he hasn’t heard from Bridget in the last 48 hours. We inquired if he knew where his daughter was. “I don’t,” answered Mr.

Gov. Douglas is concerned about the future of the United Nations, but for a much different reason. “I’m concerned the U.N. will lose credibility if it fails to enforce the resolutions that it has adopted,” said Douglas. “Time and again it has ordered Saddam Hussein to disarm and he has failed to do so.” _Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie also is following the commander-inchief on this one. “The next 48 hours are criti cal,” said Dubie on Tuesday morning. “And I and the presi dent and America and the rest of the world are anxious to see if

Morris, “and even if I did I wouldn’t say.” Bridget was an ROTC student at UVM. She majored in politi cal science. Her father shook his head in amazement that it’s not even a year since her graduation and she’s about to be in a war. “She and a lot of other kids,” said Mr. Morris, “are this day making the ultimate sacrifice. So on this day it doesn’t matter if the president was right or wrong. On this day,” said the dad, “these are the kids we have to support.” During the Vietnam War, the war of our youth, those who opposed the flawed policy of the Johnson and Nixon regimes were often at odds with those who supported the troops. That start ed to change around 1969. That’s when many of those beloved troops were discharged and joined in the antiwar protests. That’s when many Americans realized “supporting the tro o p s” and “bringing them h o m e ” went hand-in-hand. The public learned to separate the w ar from the warrior. Make no mistake, many Vermonters support King Bush Us War on Iraq. They believe the unsubstantiated claims that Saddam Hussein bears responsi bility for 9/11. Likewise, they believe he has chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons that nobody can find. And they share an overrid ing faith that this president would never do anything that would hurt us. Among them are our new governor and lieutenant governor, both members of the president’s political party. Gov. Jim Douglas told Seven Days Tuesday that he’s “sorry it’s come to this, but the president has the responsibility of defend ing the United States and defend ing the citizens of this country, -and he’s prepared to do exactly that.” Like Congressman Sanders,

Saddam Hussein will make a move.” Dubie’s an American Airlines pilot and a colonel in the Army reserve. If he’s called to duty in the coming days and weeks, it will not be a good sign. “My role as a reservist is to respond to acts of terrorism in the United States,” said Dubie. “That’s my training and that’s what I do. I work for the National Security Emergency Preparedness Agency.” Let’s hope Col. Dubie won’t be needed. Let’s hope for a mira cle to stop King Bush II from lighting the fuse on this world wide powder keg. Let’s hope the law of the jungle is not America’s new foundation for international relations. At the Wheeler School on Monday, few noticed the display in the hallway outside the room where Congressman Sanders held his press conference on dental care for kids, lt was produced by the fifth-grade class. The subject was peace. The students drew pictures and explained what peace meant to them. A sampler: “Peace is a kitten when you’re sad.” “Peace is green and playful.” “Peace is important if we want to feel safe.” “Peace is fluffy.” “I can think in peace.” “Peace rocks.” Blessed are the peacemakers, v eh? D eanw atch2004 — Our

favorite presidential hopeful is certainly in the eye of the politi cal storm on this one. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean 'has emerged as the leading critic of President Bush’s march to war. Last weekend at the California State Democratic Convention, Sens. John Kerry of Massa chusetts and John Edwards of North Carolina were heckled and booed because of their support * for Bush on invading Iraq.

SEVENDAYS I march 19-26, 2003 | insidetrack 17A

T A Vermont’s Howard Dean drew standing ovations, chants and ecstatic applause. The major net works managed to ignore it all. And Monday night, following the Bush TV address, candidate Dean issued a statement indicat ing he will not duct-tape his mouth shut as our new king sends in the troops. “This is not Iraq, where doubters and dissenters are pun ished or silenced,” said Dean, “this is the United States of America. We need to support our young people as they are sent to war by the President, and I have no doubt that American military power will prevail. But to ensure that our postwar policies are con structive and humane, based on enduring principles of peace and justice, concerned Americans should continue to speak out. And I intend to do so.” Ambassador Dubie? — Both

Gov. Douglas and Lt. Gov. Dubie are downplaying a report in the March 11 edition of Power Daily. “Vermont close to naming energy ambassador to Canada.” Power Daily, which tracks the energy business, reported Dubie “expects to be named the state’s special envoy to take up energy concerns with Canadians, partic ularly Quebec authorities.” The industry newsletter quot ed Dubie saying, “It’s not some thing a state senator can go to Qq4^f;3pd work on, but a lieu tenant governor can.” As you know, the Lite-Gov’s sole constitutional duty is to pre side over the state senate and, in the case of a tie vote, break the tie. But Dubie’s role has already been expanded to watching our homeland security front and standing like a statue behind and to the left of Jim Douglas at the governor’s weekly press confer ences. Asked about the report in Power Daily, Doobie-Doo told Seven Days, “There’s some strained relationships between us and Quebec, and the governor’s asked me to be a single point of contact on all issues concerning Quebec.” Dubie said he’s already been in contact with the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., as well as the State Department and the Quebec office in Boston. He said he intends to become an “expert” on energy issues. “I’m going to educate myself on power.” Asked if he had appointed Dubie a “special envoy,” the gov ernor joked, “Envoy is a French word, isn’t it?” Pressed on whether Dubie will be negotiating energy contracts with Hydro-Quebec, Douglas said, “The administration will maintain principal responsibility for that, but it’s very helpful to have the lieutenant governor involved, extending his good offices and opening doors.” Interesting. ®

n an unprecedented move 10 years ago, the National Trust for Historic Preser vation placed the entire state of Vermont on its annual endangered list. The dubious distinction suggested the Green Mountain state is not just a spot on the map, but a unique culture shaped by rural life and its attendant civic traditions. This singular sociology has attracted scores of stripmall-weary settlers and informs the region’s politics and culture. Anyone who has visited Williston lately knows the state is losing ground to sprawl and big-box commerce. Another, less glar ing casualty is the grassroots democracy that has grown up around small towns. Citizens of burgeoning municipalities rarely volunteer for local selectboards. Some view the erosion of traditional landscape and attitudes as a battle against inevitability. Others — like «A*r-planner Beth Humstone — see it as an opportunity to learn from the rest of Americas mistakes. “There are a lot of shared values in Vermont,” observes Humstone, who is executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl. “People really care about communities and the health of our downtowns. They care about the coun tryside. They care about farming. They care about forestry. They care about clean air. You can talk to people that you might disagree with on how to accom plish those things, but you usually can agree on the goals. You don’t see that in a lot of parts of this country.”

Humstone’s view of Vermont is as clear as it gets, honed from years of integrating seemingly conflicting interests to come up with an action plan. “She can go from the strategic part of advocacy — the political work, who to talk to — all the way over to how to talk to planners about what technically has to change in order for things to work differently,” says Elizabeth Humphrey at the Growth Management Leadership Alliance in Washington, D.C. If Vermont still had a planning office — it was abolished during the Dean administration — Humstone would be the logical person to run it. But then she wouldn’t be looking into how Montpelier inadvertently contributes to sprawl with infrastructure expenditures that violate the state’s own land-use policies — just one of several initiatives she’s overseeing in her current job. If anyone sees the big picture, Humstone does. "Land-use plan n in g" sou n d s about

as sexy as “solid-waste management,” but in environments pressured by develop ment, it’s what separates green fields from brownfields, condo complexes from open space. Where — and how — Vermonters live, work, shop and recreate shapes the landscape. Envisioning and mapping out future residential areas, transportation routes, wildlife corridors and commercial districts indicates the desire to direct growth in a particular way. Zoning seals the deal.

To say Humstone has had a hand in maintaining Vermont’s mostly pristine pro file would be an understatement. After two years in the state planning office, she left to work as a consultant, to help maay towns take control of their economic and aesthetic destinies. She’s also on the Burl ington Planning Commission and the steering committee of the “Legacy Project,” which was charged with imagining a more populous Queen City. Many of the pro ject’s findings will be worked into the city’s revised municipal development plan, which Humstone is helping to write.

subdivision in Essex, she points out how driveways and garages dominate in the new development. Her enthusiasm doesn’t compromise her cool. Humstone is as articulate as she is analytical. You can easi ly imagine her poring over old military maps of Italian towns, which she did on a prestigious Rome Prize fellowship in 1985, or hammering out zoning regula tions with the citizens of Essex. “So much of what we’re concerned about and involved in is connections,” says Humstone. “Cutting off connections, by locating housing way out in one place, shops over here, and the schools over there, requires using an automobile and makes it hard to come together as a com munity. We are destroying a connection to the past when we destroy a really signifi cant landscape.” Taft Corners may be lost forever.

historic preservation kept him busy after work. “Growing up, I remember driving by old, vacant, industri al areas — College Point, Queens and other places — and he’d do these things he called ‘windshield surveys,”’ Humstone suggests. “He’d say, ‘We’re try ing to figure out what we can do with this land. It’s vacant, you know, and there’s a road nearby. There’s water and sewer. W hat are we going to do with it?’ I’d take notes and he’d tell me what to write.” She also recalls family vaca tions that revolved around visiting Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and her father’s analysis of traffic jams on the way back from Jones Beach on Long Island. “I grew up with books like The Little House, by Virginia Lee Burton, which shows the whole story of subur banization and how it happens,” Humstone says. The book details how a little house in the country gets engulfed by a big bustling city. Imagine the precursor to the video game “Sim City,” but with better values. Humstone’s dad clearly influenced her thinking on growth issues. Her sisters were likewise impressed: One is a landscape architect; the other works in historic preservation. But as predestined as her career choice seemed, Humstone was determined not to be a planner. When she landed an internship with the New York City govern ment after four years at Wheaton College, she asked to be placed anywhere but on the planning commission. Guess where she wound up? “My job was researching the sit uation in Soho with respect to the artists,” says Humstone. In an effort to forestall gentrification, the city was trying to pre serve loft spaces for blue-collar workers who still had jobs in the neighborhood. “They wanted us to document the extent to which artists were living in those spaces. It was a detective job. I loved it.” Based on that positive plan ning experience, she yielded to the family'legacy and applied to Harvard’s Graduate School of Design — her father’s alma mater. But it was not with an urban planning goal in mind. “I wanted to work in a rural area that had not yet experienced this tremendous suburban sprawl and decline, to see if there was a better way for these areas to grow and evolve,” Humstone explains. Post-graduation and newly married, she considered three destinations. Vermont won out over Hawaii and Oregon. “The state had already expressed a desire to do things differently when it passed Act 250 in 1970,” Hum stone reasoned. She arrived in 1973, just in time to feel the backlash. After a short stint at Garden Way and a gig with a landscape architect, she found herself at the center of the action, in the state plan ning office under then-Governor Salmon.

SEVENDAYS I march 19-26, 2003 I fe a tu re 21A Originally, there was a state wide land-use plan attached to Act 250. Humstone found Vermonters’ negative reaction to it “very instructive. It would make sense, you would think, to put a map on the wall illustrat ing the states vision for the future. But when you start draw ing lines, people realize, ‘Oh, I’m in the 25-acre zone,’ or ‘Oh, I’m in the no-build zone.’ It can get very emotional.” The experience taught Humstone a lot about how diverse groups reach con sensus on growth issues — skills she brought to individual towns as a planning consultant. “In my mind, what makes a good planner is someone who understands the relationship

ment of buildings on lots.” Take downtown Bristol, for example, where the buildings are close to the street. “When you’re close up, you’re noticing win dows and doorways and it’s not necessary to be so particular about design,” Humstone sug gests. “But when you have a mini-mart set back 100 feet with a big parking lot, there’s much more emphasis on the building.” Those are the sort of practical planning tips she brought as a consultant to towns like Westford, Peru, Georgia and Charlotte, where she lived until 1991, three years after her divorce. Later she teamed up with fellow planner Jeff Squires — who now works on transportation issues for Senator

between the regulations and the built environment that will result from them — the outcome. Beth is very good at that,” says Campoli. “That comes from years of looking at growth, and how things change, being very observant. She’s been interested in this all her life, and she’s trav eled a great deal.” Humstone sp e n t h er

honeymoon traveling overland from London to India via Afghanistan. But she learned more about urban design and sprawl during the year she spent in Italy. Humstone beat out aspiring painters, sculptors and architects for a Rome Prize to study the evolution of small Italian towns, some of which were more than 2000 years old. She discovered strip develop ment is a very old concept. “There has always been a con centration of commerce at the gates of these towns.” Density also dates back. “If you had a piece of land in town, and didn’t build on it, you would lose it,” she explains. “They didn’t do it for aesthetics, they did it for the health of the community.” Happily, what made practical sense in Italy turned out to be beautiful — and still appeals to hordes of tourists. The same could be said of traditional set tlement patterns in Vermont. Protecting the landscape is not just a matter o f preserving Green Mountain visuals, but also an economic imperative. Notably, Humstone doesn’t believe in imi tating historic buildings or in mandating taste. “If you get too specific you lose the opportunity for some bold new design,” she suggests. “I guess I’m more con cerned about form and place

James Jeffords — and took on Essex, Barre and Williston. Award-winning architect Turner Brooks was part of the team that tackled Taft Corners. So how did Williston end up with all that asphalt? Humstone and Squires shepherded citizens through the usual process: polling citizen attitudes, compiling the research, facilitating meetings and hammering out a compre hensive plan with design charettes and other visuals. “We came up with a plan for that area that envisioned Taft Corners as what we were then calling an ‘urban village,”’ Humstone recalls. “It would have a network of streets like you would see in any other town center. There would be public uses, such as a post office and a school. There would be offices with retail on the ground floor, apartments upstairs, that kind of thing.” Ultimately, though, the zon ing didn’t reflect the plan the cit izens of Williston approved. During the hearing process, “there was a lot of pressure from the development community. They said it was pie-in-the-sky planning,” Humstone explains. “They basically struck a deal with the Selectboard at the time that reserved a certain amount of land for retail development in the Taft Corners area and also tremendously weakened the zon ing so it would never carry out the plan adopted by the town. It was the citizens of Williston who lost out in the end.” The New J e r sific a tio n o f

Williston underscored the need for an organization — in the absence of a state planning office — that could oversee statewide

land-use issues, especially highimpact developments like Taft Corners. John Ewing was chair of the state environmental board when he decided to launch the Vermont Forum on Sprawl. “It was obvious Vermont was grow ing in a way that was sucking the life out of the village centers and downtowns,” he recalls. Prior to that, Ewing was chair of the dis trict environmental commission in Chittenden County. The goal of the forum was to bring environmental and busi ness groups together to revitalize downtowns while preserving sur rounding farmland. Ewing hired Humstone as assistant director because of her extensive and var ied experience in land-use plan ning, and because she was not adverse to a mission statement that included the term “econom ic development.” “It’s how and where the growth occurs, rein forcing the values and strengths of Vermont rather than eroding them,” Ewing explains. For her part, Humstone had been thinking about quitting her consulting business and starting a nonprofit to address sprawl. Working with towns was getting repetitive, and she really wanted to be part of a “missiondriven” organization. “I have strong values about planning and what planning is all about. And it’s often difficult to work in communities where you are trying to help them through a process, help them realize their vision, but you see what they are doing is, in the long run, going to be a problem for them and for the area.” In 2000, Humstone took over as the Forum’s executive director — a position that draws on all her experience and skills, from designing opinion polls and eval uating housing projects to diplo macy and networking. Recently she’s been getting national publicity for organizing the Vermont Smart Growth Collaborative, which brings together a handful of Vermont groups with varied expertise regarding sprawl. “W ith coordi nated foundation financing and a mutually agreed-on work plan, the 10 Vermont groups seem positioned to make a major impact on their state,” wrote Neal Peirce, a journalist who covers growth issues, in his nationally syndicated column. He also praised the Vermont collaborative for supporting economic incentives for develop ing downtowns, endorsing wellplaced housing developments and “readying a report card to show how well — or poorly — a host of state spending and regulation policies match smart growth priorities.” Humstone’s reputation has grown to the point where she is turning down invitations to speak around the country. After all, too many forays might blur her focus on Vermont. A few other landscapes have drawn her, though — in particular, Arizona’s Sonora Desert. But for now Humstone is staying put. “She has a real deep love o f the state,” says Campoli. “Her interest is in having it remain beautiful for at least the next couple hundred years.” ®

hile New York City tempts comers with the Big Apple and Boston gasses off about being Beantown, Burlington promises visitors the royal treatment by calling itself the Queen City. The name is designed to suggest that were better than the rest, but it runs the risk of confusing Vermont’s largest city with a score of other places, from Galveston, Texas, to Spearfish, South Dakota. For all their efforts to elevate themselves above the crowd, queen cities are actually awfully common. Do queen cities have anything in common, other than our nick name? Where does the title come from? W hat does it mean, anyway? And who better to ask than the experts? “It’s the biggest city in the state,” explains the man who answers the phone at Queen City Coins in Burlington. W ith absolute confi dence he reasons, “Cincinnati’s the Queen City. It’s the biggest city in Ohio.” In that case, I wonder, why aren’t these places called the King City? “Maybe if we had some balls we would be,” he shoots back. Maybe so. Case in point: The wise guy won’t give his name. Robert Gauthier, at Queen City Fire Equipment, offers a more precise theory. “It’s because it’s the largest city in the state but it’s not the capital,” he suggests. “Same reason Manchester, New Hampshire, is the Queen City of New Hampshire.”

.V .v V *

If Gauthier’s theory were correct, Burlington would be known as the Queen City of Vermont. But a call to the Fletcher Free Library reference desk suggests that the city’s first mayor had a grander vision. Reading off an index card that’s been prepared in anticipation of my question, which is apparently frequently asked, librarian Barbara Shatara quotes Albert Catlin’s 1865 inaugural speech. “We represent a young city which may in time be known and distinguished as the Queen City of New England,” his honor declared. Catlin wasn’t the first person to connect the Q w o rd to Burlington, Shatara notes. When the telegraph came to town in 1848, the people of Troy, New York, tapped out a congratulatory message addressed to “the people of the Queen City.” A trip to the library’s local history room further reveals that in 1850 a store called Queen City Hat, Cap, Fur & Clothing House opened its doors on College Street. But Burlington’s aristocratic ambitions didn’t really become obvi ous until around 1870. Fueled by booming lumber and wood-prod ucts industries centered on the bustling commercial waterfront, Burlington was by then a thoroughly modern city of 14,387, “the center of apparent economic activity, probably in all of Vermont and certainly on the lake,” says local historian Vince Feeney. He adds,

lu s t “‘Queen City’ was used by any emerging city that saw itself as progressive or wanted to portray itself as progressive, especially by the business community. And they were obviously marketing.” Local pride was no doubt music to the ears of the long-established Burlington Cornet Band in 1870, when it trumpeted its hometowns rising fortunes by changing its name to the Queen City Cornet Band. Burlington-bolstering also set the tone of the 1871-2 Burlington City Directory. A gushing introduction describes the town from Lake Champlain, “seated queen-like on a gently rolling hillside.” The essay con cludes, “If our estimate of the Queen City of the Lake and her material and social advan tages should be deemed by the stranger unduly high, considerable allowance will be made for local and personal affection.” At bottom, the “Queen City” designation is really all about boosterism. The 19th-century capitalists who popularized the phrase in

rolling plains.” When a cluster of flour mills, bottling works, warehouses, hotels and other businesses rose beside the railroad tracks, the burgeoning center came to resemble “a crown on the flat plains.” Virginia, M innesota, sits 100 miles south of International Falls. This chilly home to 9600 crowned itself Queen City in 1920, when it ranked as the state’s fifth-largest city. “There are many, many little towns all around and everyone came here to work,” says native Judy Kauchick, who has worked at Queen City Federal Savings Bank for 39 years, and who speaks with a lilting Scandi navian accent straight out of “Prairie Home Companion.” “We have open pit iron ore mines and lumber.” P ie in th e sky: For some towns, becoming

a queen city was an exercise in wishful think ing. Nancy Piwowar, a trustee with the Plainfield, New Jersey, Historical Society, says that in the late 19th century, her home

Local pride was no doubt m usic to the ears of the long-estab lished Burlington Cornet Band in 1870, when it trumpeted its hometown’s rising fortunes by changing its name to the Queen City Cornet Band. cities across the country were promoting their locations as democratic alternatives to European royalty. It gave a place old-world legitimacy while simultaneously suggesting that the hard-working Americans who called it home were living like kings. Nam ed by strangers: One popular mis conception is that some real female ruler once traveled the country bestowing her title on places that pleased her. In fact, only one Queen City seems to have any direct connec tion to an actual monarch. In 1768, when C harlotte, N orth Carolina, was incorporat ed, the local citizenry named it after Queen Charlotte, wife of the reigning English monarch, King George III. Cincinnati, Ohio, is probably the only Queen City that got its name from someone with no vested interest in enhancing the city’s reputation. In the early 1800s, when it was the biggest metropolis in the entire Midwest, the city was dubbed “The Queen City of the West” by the poet Henry Wadsworth Long fellow — and the citizenry is damned proud of that. The title is still so prestigious that it’s even used by organizations outside Cincinnati proper. “Were actually located in Woodlawn,” confesses Polly Coler, registrar at the Queen City Dog Training Club. R earview m irror: Lots of queen cities are resting on their crowns. Their moniker has more to do with how they used to be than the way they are now. In the 1830s and early ’40s, when Independence, M issouri, took the title “Queen City o f the Trails,” steam boat traffic at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers made Independence the number-one outfitting center for the Santa Fe Trail. W hen C um berland, M aryland, acquired the “Queen City” title around 1880, it was that state’s second-largest city. Dickinson, N orth D akota, crowned itself the “Queen City of the Prairies” around 1910. Laurie Vernon at the Chamber of Commerce describes the area as “a few hills and fewer trees... mostly wheat fields and

town was the end of the line for commuter trains out of New York City. Compared to the dusty, congested city, Plainfield was a breath of fresh air. Hoping to build the town up as a destination for respiratory ailment sufferers, a local newspaper publisher began calling Plainfield — elevation 100-200 feet — the “Colorado of the East.” Because Denver was known as the “Queen City of the Plains,” Plainfield’s nickname was eventually shortened to “Queen City.” The change robbed the slogan of its breathe-easy connotations, but retained its essential meaning: Were really great. Really. That message is still carried in Plainfield’s welcoming signs, a Baptist church, a fuel oil company and the Queen City Homing Pigeon Club — which is technically located in the nearby town of Piscataway. Appropriately, Denver also owes its regal moniker to an enterprising journalist. W hen William N. Byers founded the Rocky Moun tain News in 1859, he used his newspaper to promote development on the high desert. The “Queen City” title was meant to tout the place as the new steamboat capital of the West. As it turned out, the shallow Platte River didn’t float many boats, and Byers him self was eventually discredited in an adulter ous scandal and shot in the middle of a downtown street. But the city’s Queen City stature stuck, nonetheless, as the railroad — rather than steamboats — tripled Denver’s population in the 1890s. P h ysical ev id en ce: M eridian, Mississippi,

is the birthplace of former Red Sox pitcher Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd and the site of the restored Mississippi Grand Opera House. The concert hall’s home page explains that the 35-foot high proscenium features an ornate portrait of a lady. “While a direct relation cannot be proven,” the Web site suggests, “this is certainly consistent with Meridian’s epithet, ‘The Queen City.’” Boyd tried to start up a baseball franchise called the Queen City Bombers that capitalized on the town’s nickname. But he failed to raise

the needed capital. Spearfish — population 8600 — prides itself on being the second-largest city in Western South Dakota. Located at the foot of the Black Hills, it was established in the late 1800s at the height of the Queen City craze. W hat makes Spearfish worthy of the name? “The story I’ve heard,” says Laurie Evans, receptionist at Queen City Motors, “is that years back a traveling dignitary came to the city.” The unnamed big shot noticed that three peaks rising above the town suggested a crown, the tale goes. M ystery m eat: It’s hard to say what made Hazard, Kentucky, “Queen City of the Mountains.” Maybe the city’s title anticipated the Appalachian location’s association with the ’70s TV show “Dukes of Hazard.” Perhaps it foreshadowed native Don McGuire’s career with the Hilltoppers, whose “P.S. I Love You” dominated the 1952 H it Parade. It probably didn’t foresee Phil Ochs’ 1963 union ballad, “Hazard, Kentucky,” which opines, “Well, minin’ is a hazard in Hazard, Kentucky/ And if you ain’t minin’ there / Well, my friends, you’re awful lucky.” And what about Q ueen City, Texas, which dispenses with a formal name altogether and goes straight for the selfaggrandizing nickname? Queen City isn’t really a city, or even an incorporated town, for that matter. It’s a setdement of less than 2000 resi dents established as a stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway at the junction of U.S. High way 59 and Farm roads 74, 96, 251, 2327 and 2791. Dial its office of Tourism & Economic Development at 1-888-C-UOFTEN and the voice on the answering machine drawls, “Thank you for your interest in Queen City, the best place to be.”

Rem ix: The official Web site of Allentown, Pennsylvania, calls the iron-enriched city “Pennsylvania’s Park Place.” But one particular neighborhood is forging a mini-revival of the city’s older nickname. “We have Queen City Airport across the street and Queen City Industrial Park behind us,” reports George Draklellis. W hen he bought the Cascade Diner eight years ago, he renamed the restau rant the Queen City Diner. His specialty: prime rib. The “queen cut” goes for $11.95. In Staunton, Virginia, self-described “one-person Chamber of Commerce” and chiropractor Joe Dockery calls his musical promotion company Queen City Acoustic. The name was used by towns that wanted to say, “‘I’m really, really great,”’ he relates. “Staunton had an attitude that we are the center of the Shenandoah Valley.” Like Burlington, Staunton has won awards for restoring its old homes, burying its electric wires and putting in brick sidewalks and granite curbs. Dockery boasts, “My organization has given more life to this queen city thing.” Queer city: The “queen” in “queen city”

doesn’t necessarily mean what it used to. In Seattle, an organization called Queen City Development coordinates 60 nonprofit entities that serve the queer community. “Queen City used to be one of the city’s informal nicknames. It didn’t have to do with gender,” Mike Santovec, a volunteer at the LGBT Com munity Center, carefully explains. “It was more like saying it’s a royal city in the Northwest before it was really developed. I think it was a bit pretentious. We did a play on the name.” The same wordplay occurred to folks here five years ago at the community forum that led to the formation of R.U.1.2.?, Burling ton’s LGBTIQA center. “Everyone really loved the name Queen City Center,” recalls organizer Mike Bensel. In the end, the name was rejected. “There were a few womefi there who objected because it made it sound like it was just geared towards gay men.” Civic pride just ain’t what it used to be. (7)

Broken in Burlington? GETTING A FIX ON THE TOWN'S TROUBLES story

GARY CAUSER

Fo, you think Burlington is heaven on Earth. You proudly display your mud-caked “I LOVERM O N T ” bumper sticker and you named your cats Ethan and Ira. Your veins run with maple syrup and you’ve found just the right spot to plant your organic garden. Still, be honest: The Queen City isn’t all regal. To celebrate the end of winter, Seven Days asked readers and a select group of citizens to tell us what they think is broken in Burlington and what should be done to fix it. But isn’t that so... negatived you might ask. Hey, think of it as a citywide prequel to Greenup Day. Besides, grumbling isn’t just cathartic, it’s edu cational. We learned that while most Burlingtonians can quickly ratde off a short list of pet peeves, iden tifying just one problem that truly rankles them requires some thought. Tougher still is coming up with good ideas for how to improve things. The answers we received ran the gamut from the esoteric to the mundane. As much as possible, we’ve allowed people to speak in their own words.

Jen Mathews, director o f the Vermont Livable Wage Campaign: “Broadly, the problem is what I call ‘institutional classism,”’ says Mathews, an eight-year Burlington resident. “Burlington decisions often value wealthier people at the expense of low-income people.” Mathews believes Burlington isn’t paying enough attention to the equitable allocation of resources. For example, she cites the city’s lack of public buses for late-night employees, most of whom work in low-wage jobs. Likewise, she says, low-income fami lies often complain their children are tracked with other low-income children in Burlington schools. “Whether it’s true or not, it feels like things get taken care of more quickly in wealthier areas than in low-income areas,” Mathews says, adding it’s a com mon complaint heard from low- and moderateincome residents. Mathews suggests Burlington make a more con certed effort to focus on a sustainable economy. “If we’re bringing more multinational corporate stores into downtown that pay low wages, that’s not neces sarily helping people who live in the community,” she says. “People may say there’s only so much money to go around, but if lower-income people are prioritized, I think the city can figure this stuff out.” Kathy Olwell, director of the New North End Youth Center: I think youth programming and education are definitely broken in this city,” says Olwell, whose youth center is located in the National Guard

Armory next to H unt Middle School. “We can’t keep doing this. We spend the lowest amount of money per pupil in Chittenden County. T hat’s less than Milton, that’s less than Winooski,” she says. “We have the highest population of impov erished children needing the most and we’re spend ing the least. T hat’s not the makeup for a rosy future.” Olwell says most of the youth center’s money comes from fundraising and private grants, not tax dollars. It’s a far cry from the way things are done in Germany, where Olwell lived for 13 years. She sug gests Burlington adopt a European model for fund ing schools. While she recognizes school funding is decided by voters and not city government, she thinks the City Council should revise its charter so school budgets are not subject to the whim of vot ers. “We need to take care of our kids,” Olwell con cludes. “If we’re not going to do it, nobody will.” Yves Bradley, owner o f The Body Shop and Burlington police commissioner: “It’s high time the city officially acknowledges the fact that we have a significant drug problem here in Burlington, specifically in relation to heroin, and ask for the public’s help,” says Bradley. “I don’t pretend to have a magic wand, but if I were a public leader, I’d call a press conference and say, ‘It’s been in the news a lot lately, and I’m officially saying we’ve got a problem.” Bradley urges the city to focus more resources on drug education and prevention — perhaps set up a heroin hotline and bring recovering addicts into the schools to show students how drugs can ruin their lives. Several years ago Bradley was a member of a group that approached Sen. Jim Jeffords to secure a $ 1 million grant for dealing with the heroin prob lem. Unfortunately, all that money was earmarked for treatment. Today, Bradley fears Burlington will soon pay a hefty price. “In terms of the long-term health of Burlington, it’s really scary,” Bradley says. “That’s where our property crimes come from. Think about it: Heroin addicts aren’t employable. They’ve got a $200- to $300-per-day habit. How do they feed it? Break-ins. It’s all petty stuff, but the petty stuff adds up to sig nificant problems with quality of life.” Alex Chirelstein, director o f Very Special Arts Vermont: Chirelstein, whose nonprofit group pro vides free arts programs to low-income and disabled Vermonters, offers his two cents with one caveat. “So long as it’s clear that I’m not an expert on anything.”

PETER CLAVELLE, MAYOR OF BURLINGTON

Mayor Clavelle knows there's still p len ty o f

work to be done in Burlington, despite its repu tation as one of Americas most livable cities. In one respect, he got a free ride this year, sailing to an easy victory in a virtually unopposed race. He begins his seventh term April 7. Not surprisingly, the mayor takes umbrage with the “broken” phrasing of our question. “I’m certainly open to critique and constructive criticism,” he says. “But it sounds like an open invitation to gripe and complain.” We can be “glass-is-half-full” kind of people when we want to be. Still, it doesn’t hurt to ask the man who’s been driving the bus for the last 12 years where the biggest potholes are. O f course, asking an elected official such a broadbased question invites a laundry list of accom plishments, but the mayor appears to have a firm grasp on what’s bugging Burlingtonians. At the top of the mayor’s list of challenges this year is the arduous task of balancing the budget while trying to maintain and expand city services. “Everyone is going to have ideas about services they would like to have im proved, roads they would like to see recon structed and sidewalks they would like to see rebuilt,” says Clavelle. “But we’re going to be hard-pressed this year to maintain the level of services we provide without raising taxes — and we will not raise taxes. That decision has already been made.” A close second: passage of a school budget, a task for which Clavelle can offer advice and leadership but little else. “The livability of this community and the value of property in this community are integrally linked,” he says. “I’ll continue to use the mayor’s office as a bully pulpit on education issues.” As the mayor points out, 70 percent of Burl ington residents pay school taxes based on their income rather than their property value. Unfor tunately, he notes, that fact was largely drowned out this year amid the clamor to “send a clear message” to lawmakers in Montpelier. Clavelle makes no bones about where he assigns blame. “The major media in this community — and I’ll specifically cite The Burlington Free Press — was not at all helpful in this last round,” Clavelle charges. “I think it was grossly irre sponsible for them to encourage voters in Burlington and other communities to vote down the school budgets in order to send a message to M ontpelier... It struck me as akin to holding our kids hostage while we work on tax reform.” Clavelle ticks off other municipal responsi

bilities that are more difficult during tough eco nomic times: public safety, capital improve ments to city infrastructure, keeping the streets plowed and paved, creating jobs and diversify ing the local economy. Despite a national econ omy that’s “in the toilet,” Clavelle thinks Buflington is doing better than most cities. And while he remains committed to creating more livable-wage jobs in town, he knows this is a region-wide task that the city cannot shoulder alone. Clavelle sees a need to improve and expand the city’s transportation options, both for com muters and freight. While he recognizes the Champlain Flyer rail project didn’t attract the kind of ridership that proponents envisioned, he says it would be “both irresponsible and shortsighted” for the state not to invest in rail service for Burlington. Many of the most com mon gripes heard in Burlington about traffic and parking would be eased, he suggests, if the state were more committed to passenger rail service. And, he looks forward to the day when Burlington is served by Amtrak. Clavelle expects that most Burlington resi dents would identify housing as the city’s most pressing issue. However, it is “not a problem that Burlington alone will address,” he says. “Burlington has probably done as much as any small city in America in terms of promoting the housing agenda, but more needs to be done.” His short summary of other quality-of-life gripes range from nighttime noise complaints to housing code violations to the need for tougher drug enforcement. “Drug abuse is an issue ripe for demagoguery, but the reality is, too many of our fellow citizens, particularly our young people, are abusing drugs, including alcohol,” Clavelle declares. “There’s a certain role for the city to play, but it can be stepped up.” The mayor commends local law enforce ment for its success in reducing the flow of heroin into town, but he says more leadership and funding is needed from Montpelier. W hat single factor makes his job the most difficult? Inadequate resources. “At a time when we seem to be off to a war that could cost hundreds o f billions of dollars, the federal government is very negligent in terms of investing in communities across this country,” Clavelle asserts. “It just boggles my mind that we can find this kind of money for a war effort, but not find money to invest in ade quate health care for Americans or expansion of the affordable-housing stock or protection of our\ environment.”

Chirelstein identified several problems, but thinks the most urgent one is the housing crunch— from affordability to homelessness to the quality of rental properties. “There’s some weird air of unreality to the housing situa tion,” says Chirelstein, a 10-year Burlington resident who recently became a homeowner. “I realize the engine behind it is scarcity, but if there aren’t enough mid dle-class people to endlessly trade up their housing, or an economy to underwrite all these middleclass jobs, at some point the bot tom falls out.” How can the city improve things? “In general, the mayor has done a terrific job,” Chirel stein admits. “So many of these issues are completely beyond our control as a community.” He commends the efforts made in the last decade to create non profit groups that focus on affordable housing. “The truth is, you can quib ble on occasion with specific instances of how those policies have been carried out,” he says. “But the city is still on the fore front in coming up with creative ways of dealing with housing issues for low- and moderateincome folks. I think city gov ernment has to be applauded.” Leanne Smith, University of Vermont student: “I think what’s broke is Spillane’s Towing has a monop oly in the Burlington area,” says 19-year-old Smith, who claims her car was wrongfully towed in January, costing her $40. When she complained to the company, Smith says she was called “an ignorant and uneducated college student who couldn’t read.” She also was told she shouldn’t worry about the money because her parents would probably reim burse her. “That offended me deeply, because I work very hard and try to give back to the community, and my $40 does matter,” coun ters Smith, who holds down a 40-hour-per-week job to put herself through college. O n top of 18 college credits this semes ter, she also volunteers six to eight hours a week at the COTS Family Shelter and Women Helping Battered Women. She says Spillane’s “is con tracted with so many different places in town that they feel they can get away with it.” She thinks if the city used other towing companies, perhaps people would be treated better. She is now posting flyers around town soliciting stories from others who’ve had bad towing experiences. John Tucker, director of the Racial Justice and Equity Project at the Peace and Justice Center: “What drives me crazy is [Burlington’s] cheerleading men tality. What’s wonderful for one group of people is not necessarily wonderful for another group,” says Tucker. “There’s this ‘Kumbaya’ attitude by the majority, and when someone dares to confront it, you

either get denial or anger.” * Despite many well-inten tioned people, Burlington still suffers from an acute case of denial about its racial and class strife, asserts Tucker. “The demographics are changing and I think some leaders want to address that issue, but they have a big problem because the majority of the population isn’t there yet,” he says. “Unfor tunately, [filmmaker] Michael Moore put his finger on us. Bowling for Columbine sums up Burlington and Vermont in general. It’s a painful message, but take it to heart and learn from it.” Tucker complains about the hostility expressed toward the “minority report” — and he’s not just talking about racial . minorities. “One of the things that I learned in my career is that oftentimes I learned just as much, if not more, from the dis senters’ point of view as from those in my favor,” he says. “Did John Tucker say this”is a rotten, dirty place? N o,” he con cludes. “But they do need to wake up and smell the roses.? Change is in the air, whether! they like it or not.” i

Melinda Moulton, redeveloper with the Main Street Landing Company: “The only thing that’s broken in Burlington is my heart, and that’s because they took my train away,” says Moulton, who * worked for eight years on the Champlain Flyer demonstration project, a commuter-rail line that ran from Charlotte to Burling ton. “Everybody was really gungho about this rail thing and then, boom! The carpet got pulled out.” The project was first proppsed as a way of easing traffic created by construction on Shelburne Road, now scheduled for later this year. Proponents envisioned trains eventually running from as far south as Middlebury and 'as far north as St. Albans, shuttling visitors to Burlington in all kinds of weather. Unfortunately, ridership never got as high as predict ed, largely, Moulton believes, because the Shelburne Road redesign hasn’t begun yet. But with all the time, money and construction already invested — 80 percent of which was federal ly funded — Moulton says it’d be a travesty if the state lets this rail project die. , “Burlington could see 1000 people a day arriving in the city without their cars,” she says,, which would mean cleaner air, fewer parking headaches and.a boon for the economy. William Meisenzahl, producer/ director at Northern Image Productions, a division of CCTV: “One of the things that I find to be broken in Burlington is the lack of a true cinema for indie and foreign film,” says Meisen zahl. He knows his way around a camera. “Smaller communities like St. Johnsbury, Middlebury, Montpelier and Hanover, New Hampshire, have venues that constantly screen ‘the good stuff,’ yet the biggest city in the state is completely devoid of it, especial-

SEVENDAYS I march 19-26, 2003 ly with the demise of the Nick.” Meisenzahl y&ttx-threatens that “If someone doesn’t start an arthouse here, I may do so myself.” Kevin Curley, City Councilor from Ward 4: “To some extent I think democracy is broken in Bur lington,” says Kevin Curley, a lifelong Burlington resident who served three years on the Bur lington School Board before being elected to City Council six years ago. “One of the things that really bothers me is we con tinually have a massive amount of school votes.” And that, he says, puts school extracurricular activities on the chopping block. “There’s just not enough for the kids to do,” Curley adds. “People like to think there are, but they’re either cost-prohibitive or inconvenient.” He recom mends moving all of Burlington

to address these problems.” Montroll says it will take a concerted effort on the part of police, the Code Enforcement Office and the mayor’s office to ensure the new laws are en forced. Finally, he says, good follow-up will be key, because “Oftentimes when you’ve got one set of problems at a location there are other things going on there as well.” Erica Spiegel, University of Vermont physical plant employ ee: With a recycling background to back up her lament, Spiegel asks why “a supposedly environ mentally conscious city” relies on a free enterprise system for sani tation, which she says results in excessive trash-collection truck traffic in her Old North End neighborhood. She also cites additional wear on city streets,

“We need to take care of our kids. If we’re not going to do it, nobody will.” KATHY OLWELL, DIRECTOR OF NEW NORTH END YOUTH CENTER

public school’s extracurricular activities into the Parks and Recreation Department. In fact, Curley is already working on such a proposal. The lone Republican city councilor readily admits his idea faces an uphill battle. But even with a modest increase in fund ing, he thinks the city could do a better job of providing those services. “We’ve got good kids but we don’t give them positive outlets,” Curley says. “A tiny youth center in the back of the armory is a nice thing, but we can do better.”

residents driving around with bags of garbage in their trunks, and illegal dumping into a neighbor’s or business’ dumpster. “A municipally coordinated approach where one truck is routed through each neighbor hood just once per week is more efficient globally, environmental ly and economically,” Spiegel suggests. “Neighborhood con tracts can be competitively bid among private haulers.” The for mer Michigan resident notes that municipal collection works in Ann Arbor and Madison. “Why not here?”

suggests, adding, “We have to break out of the parochial insu lation that for too long has enveloped us.” Kowalski is encouraged by the momentum he now sees building in Burlington. However, “As far as the average citizen goes, I think there’s a lack of awareness here.” And, he knows good intentions don’t always translate into action. Kowalski recalls one State of the State address in which Howard Dean made a closing remark about eliminating racism in Vermont. “It was a line that drew a resounding ovation from the audience,” Kowalski says. “And yet it was kind of a throwaway line. It didn’t really draw any sustained action at the state level.” John Anderson, architect: “To me, what’s broke is that you can get away with medioc rity when it comes to architec tural design,” says Anderson, , who is responsible for the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts and the Keliher Samets Volk renovations. Burlington, he says, is a very hip city for music, the ater and the graphic arts. “The one art form that lags behind all the other art forms is architec ture,” he charges. “When it comes to architecture, Burling ton is almost like a backwater... There’s very little demand for avant-garde or cutting-edge design philosophies.” Anderson is disheartened by some of the buildings that go up, and says it’s too easy for “boring, middle-of-the-road” designs to get city approval. Though he doesn’t fault anyone in particular, he says Burlington needs a public dialogue about architecture. “A mediocre band is not going to get that far in this town because the standards musically are really high,” he says. Why, he asks, don’t we demand the same high quality in our built environment? “Architecture is an art form, and we need to talk and think about it that way,” Anderson says. “You see the waterfront edging toward historical revision ism. But I don’t think Burling ton can survive on trying to recreate its past. It’s kind of a Disneyland thing.”

Rev. Gary Kowalski, Unitarian Universalist Society: Kowalski prefers to say he has “priorities” rather than problems with the Queen City. “People in Burlington need to work to improve racial attitudes and human relations,” says the 14year resident. “If we’re not going to repeat the mistakes that have been made elsewhere, we need to be proactive about this.” The minister believes many Vermonters feel isolated and dis enfranchised from the main stream culture because it’s a rela tively homogeneous demograph ic. “O ur kids are going to grow up in a multicultural world and they need to be prepared to live and move in that diverse socie ty,” he says. If Vermont businesses want to succeed in a global economy, they’ll need to work with people o f different nationalities, lan guages and races, Kowalski

Beth Wasmund, landscaper with Colby Hill Landscape Co.: Wasmund is in a good posi tion to note that “Dog poop is one of Burlington’s biggest prob lems.” Every spring, she says, “a winter’s worth of unscooped poop surfaces as the snow recedes. It’s disgusting and unsightly, and I feel it’s a health hazard.” Despite the pooper-scooper law, Burlington police are too busy to enforce it, Wasmund believes, saying the responsibility lies with dog owners or walkers. “I think it’s ridiculous to have to scoop poop from my own yard when I don’t even own a dog,” she says. Wasmund suggests the city provide dispensers with biode gradable bags located around town. But the bottom line, she says, is that “dog walkers need to be more responsible and always carry bags with them and scoop the poop!” ®

m Andrew Montroll, Ward 6, City Council president: “One of things I would put up at the top of the list is dealing with some of the quality-of-life issues in our neighborhoods,” says Montroll, a 15-year Bur lington resident. “We’ve certainly gotten better at that, but we still have a long way to go.” Montroll admits “quality of life” means different things in different neighborhoods. For some it’s noise and trash; for others it’s the availability of affordable housing. Montroll says Burlington can improve enforcement of housing and life safety codes for such problems as inadequate heating, inoperable smoke detectors and substandard plumbing. “Most units are sup posed to be inspected every three years and we’re far, far from that cycle,” Montroll says. “W hat we have done recently is put into place a lot of the tools we need

Goinjg on Livres ho among us doesn’t like to have the inside scoop — whether it’s knowing what’s hot and what’s not, when to dump that ImClone stock, or the best shortcut to 1-89 when traffic is crawling. Capital izing on our desire to be know-it-alls, Canadian publisher Arsenal Pulp Press recently released Montreal: The Unknown City. It boasts offering “a lesser-known take on the remarkable places, wide-open spaces and world-famous faces that make the city unique.” The book does provide scads of quirky stories, bizarre facts and oddball recommendations you’ll never find in a typical guidebook to any city. So, having read the book, what do I know that you don’t? Well, I know why there’s a street in Montreal named StZotique, even though, as a good Catholic girl like me realizes, there never was a St. Zotique. (Answer: The former landowner’s name was combined with “saint.”) I know the intersection where the first pedestrian death in the city occurred, and which intersections are still the most dangerous for bipeds. I know about the “Most Unforgettable Fires in La Belle Ville.” But do I really want to know these things? Though some of the anecdotes are charming, others are downright silly. Such as one about a ’63 Plymouth Fury that a cabbie drove for 2.5 million kilometers, a world record that still stands. But there’s a lot to wade through if what you really want is to find your way up, down, around and inside this fascinating city. The chapter on Transportation, for exam ple, reveals commuter shortcuts and how the M&ro was built, but offers neither a map nor a mention o f how to buy an inexpensive day pass for the transit system. Two chapters in Unknown City, how ever, do serve a useful purpose: Shopping and Dining. Unlike the other chapters, these zero in on where the best duds and deals can be found. I can vouch for the

Dining chapter from my own experience. For example, Ganges Restaurant is at the top of the list for Indian cuisine in Montreal. For some of us, it’s at the top of the North American list! The guide to shopping takes you build ing-by-building through Chabanal, M ont real’s garment district, and lists good frip peries, where stylish, previously owned clothes pack the racks. My husband and I are Montreal aficionados; we’ve rented apartments in the city over the years and spend every holiday, U.S. or Canadian, that we can up there. So when a book devotes page after page to buildings, memorials, parks and streets that no longer exist, we can at least picture what it would have been like to see an oil well on that corner along Sherbrooke. But those who visit the city just a cou ple times a year need more than facts and fancies and tidbits of history. They need recommendations on what to see, where to go and how to get there. Unknown City does contain fun and interesting stuff, but to appreciate most of it you have to be an insider already. Also new on the tourist bookrack is the latest version of Cheap Thrills: Great Montrial Meals for Under $15. I bought the first edition of this book back in 1996 — when the meals were actually “Under $10” — and it’s been a bible for good eat ing. The editors and their friends, foodies all, do the reviews. Restaurants are added or removed by acclamation. To qualify as a “cheap thrill,” a restaurant must offer “a reasonable selection of meals in the under$15 price range (before taxes, tip and alco hol).” And, they add, “of course the food has to be excellent, not just cheap!” Financial realism hit this year when the guide raised its upper limit to $15; my husband and I noted this with the same chagrin we felt when Europe could no

Ethiopian, and there were no restaurants tagged “Caribbean.” In the new edition it’s pretty clear that the face of M ontreal is now very different: There are as many Caribbean spots as bistros, and the African restau rants serve food from the Congo, Senegal and the Ivory Coast. New immigrants from Poland, the Republic o f Georgia, Sri Lanka, M auri tania, El Salvador and Peru also have started restaurants. Cheap thrills to us in the First W orld are just home cooking in the Third World. And tasty it is. If you don’t have the time or means to travel the world to expand your cul tural IQ, visiting a Peruvian restaurant at the corner of StFiubert and Jean-Talon can be a good substitute. Surround yourself with the smells o f new ingredients and the music of other peoples. Order from a waitstaff whose first language is neither French nor English. This is the stuff o f learning how to be a better global citizen. It’s a bonus that you leave with a full stomach.

longer be done on $5 a day. But don’t forget: With the exchange rate still hovering around 65 cents oit the dollar, the increase was only $3 for us U.S. citizens. Perhaps more telling of the changes in Montreal since 1996, however, are the types of restaurants featured. The first edition we bought intro duced us to many of the tiny French bistros and the less touristified Italian, Greek, Asian and Middle Eastern spots. That guide gave us the impetus to leave the Ste-Catherine/St-Laurent axis and move into the neighbor hoods. We tested the authentic tastes of Ethiopia at Messob d’Or, and what turned out to be our very favorite place, the afore mentioned Ganges in N D G on the western side of the city. But more than inflation has changed Cheap Thrills. The 2003 edition is an introduction to recent Quebec immigration poli cy and the desire of people from around the world to leave former French colonies and land in Montreal. Back in ’96, there were eight “bistros” and six cafe.” Eight Italian restos and six Vietnamese. African listings were limited to three from the north, one West African and one

Triple Threat DJs

aren't your stereotypical club-bumping, Crystal-sipping hip-hoppers.

reviewth is CAVEMAN, BEFORE

THE WORLD

(Self-released, CD) New York psych/prog weirdos Caveman have settled into a long, strange trip with their latest offering, Before th e World. By mixing rapid-fire, technically wondrous riffing, meandering groove structures and a host of world-music influences, the band's sound ends up being interesting to fans of each genre. Caveman manage to weave an accessible whole from all these styles. They're still far too strange to achieve groove super stardom, but that's a good thing. In the jam world, it's refreshing to hear music that's as unique as the performers claim it to be. Opener "The Call" fires off clickety-clack per cussion and a swaying Middle Eastern jazz melody. "National Anthem for a Happy Nation," on the other hand, is a carnivalesque tune with dancing organs and understated drums. Throughout, Caveman provide a satisfying journey through a

world of music while sounding playful and relaxed. Well done. The band appears at Nectar's this Thursday with Mamacita.

ARTWORK " A d i g e ," a w oodcut by D a v id C u r c io

he inaugural exhibition at Burlington’s Print Studio 250 Gallery is instructive. “The Printed Landscape” features the works o f Davis Te Selle, Brian D. Cohen and David Curcio, master printmakers teaching at the Burlington City Arts print studio. In keeping with the educational component o f the pub licly supported art centers mission, big signs at the gallery’s entrance explain the technical process involved in each medium appearing in the show. Cohen does primarily dry point etching, Te Selle works in waterless lithography, and Curcio is exhibiting woodcuts, monotypes and lithography. Curcio’s style is loosest when he is dealing with the more freewheeling techniques o f lithography and mono print. In those media his lines often melt together as he scratches white details o f negative space into broad, dark brush strokes. His technical range creates an array o f values. He also achieves washy effects, as in the sky o f his litho “Ponte S. Triniti,” a view o f a bridge in a small Italian town. Curcio’s woodcuts have hard-edged lines typical o f that medium, and he varies line density to create distance with implied gradations o f value. The most staccato lines appear more deeply in the space, and the broadest black

areas are higher up on the page. Curcio’s images are primarily small towns and architecture. The monotype “Untitled (Building)” has sepia tones as well as grays in its Victorian turrets and churning sky. The fine lines o f Cohen’s works are achieved with various engraving tools and a steady hand. He uses multiple line engravers to produce the groups o f parallel lines that appear in his dry point “Head.” It explores the abstract geometry o f a head, but not in any overtly systematized way. It is a sort o f synthetic Cubism with the look o f a piece from the 1920s. Cohen’s other figurative etchings are equally conservative. “Taylor” is a reclining clothed model, and “Nude” is a basic odalisque, in a pose similar to the reclining females by Matisse and Ingres. Some o f the drawing issues — the mashed nose in “Head,” awkward foreshortening in the arm in “Taylor” and the flippers for hands in “Nude” — may be intentional. But there can be no debate about Cohen’s obvious technical mastery o f the medium. If Cohen’s prints are reminiscent o f the 1920s, Te Selle’s could have come from the 1820s. In fact, Te Selle acknowledges his reference to early American cartographic illustrations in

his accompanying artist’s statement. Among his works are the beautifully executed panoramic landscapes o f “Arizona Text-Scarp” and “Arizona Text-Safford Peak.” Both are romantic views o f craggy, rolling mountains that run across three pieces o f paper. Framed together, each is perhaps 40 inches long. “Peregrines Realm” is a closer view o f a mountain. Echoing the motion o f a falcon diving into the air, Te Selle’s mountainside plunges down ward at the right half o f the image. The artist gives new meaning to the phrase “living rock.” His mountains are the resolute portraits o f ancient souls. Every wrinkle seems to breathe. As the Print Studio 250 gallery grows and develops, it will be interest ing to see what kind o f identity it establishes. Some artists might argue that any government-sponsored contempojgry gallery will inevitably become a conservative force in the arts. Public funding requires that cer tain “community standards” must be adhered to, but that’s a trade-off most artists seem to have little conceriTfor. The Firehouse and its galleries have been established to serve the public at large, with art education and art appreciation in mind. This debut exhi bition easily fulfills both missions. ®

ABOUT SCHMIDT^-Ar172 Jack Nicholson' stars in the la te st from Alexander ( Election) Payne, the saga o f a retired

HI mm TRIVIAL PU RSUIT Jo n e s m a n a g e s to f in d D el T o ro b u t f i l m fu n p ro v e s e lu siv e .

ommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro are immensely talented actors who have made great films and made films great. Director William Friedkin needn’t sweat his cinematic immortality. The Exorcist would’ve guaranteed it. The French Connection was icing on the cake. Assembling these three for an. atmospheric medi tation on manliness wasn’t a bad idea. Paying to see the finished product definitely is. Hastily thrown together as a poten tial actors strike loomed two years ago, The Hunted plays like a two-hour trailer, an outline for a movie whose makers have yet to flesh out its bare, broadly stroked bones. Del Toro is a former special ops commando who’s flipped his lid and turned into a mani ac fond o f tracking down hunters in the woods o f the Northwest and giv ing them a grisly taste o f their own medicine. Jones is the retired military consultant who trained him and made him into the “killing machine” that he is. The FBI figures it takes one to catch one and convinces Jones to help them find him. Which might have proven interest ing enough had he not found Del Toro in under five minutes. I’m not kidding. Jones no sooner hits the for est where his one-time student is sus pected to be hiding and — bang! —

the two are face-to-face. As it turns out, the film is less about efforts to apprehend Del Toro’s character than incredibly lame attempts by law enforcement officials to hang onto him once they’ve taken him into cus tody. I don’t want to give away too much. However, you deserve to know that this is a picture suffering chroni cally from Jason Syndrome. If you’ve ever sat through any Friday the 13th movie, you know what I’m talking about. Again and again, installment after installment, the same thing hap pens: Somebody manages to lay old hockey-head out. He’s on the ground, inert and vulnerable, but, instead o f shooting the fiend to ensure that he’s dead, characters turn their backs and walk away, only to discover to their lunkheaded horror a moment later that he has disappeared into the night. In the same way, Benicio is avail able to various pursuers on numerous occasions in the course o f The Hunted. The FBI lets him slip away. Police let him slip away. Tommy Lee Jones lets him slip away. This is a wackjob who fillets and dismembers his innocent victims and has evaded justice repeat edly and yet, despite a wealth o f opportunity, nobody who comes across him does the common-sense thing and just pops him. If any o f the

characters in this thing had half a brain, the picture would run 15 min utes tops. After a while the whole business begins to seem as ridiculous as it is repetitive. Especially when the two stars face off in hand-to-hand combat. I’m sorry. Jones is a fantastic actor, but he’s what, 75? I’m just not buying Jiim as a match for a pumped-up, highly trained psycho in his prime. Friedkin goes for a Peckinpah raw ness in this ultra-violent film, but its many holes and loose ends make it tough to take seriously. The viewer is never told, for example, what caused Del Toro to snap, or what he’s up to in those Oregon woods. Is he some kind o f eco-terrorist on a misguided mission to protect wildlife, or just a bloodlusting nut trying to recreate the rush o f batde? And what precisely is the connection between madman and mentor? In a voice-over, Johnny Cash intones lines from “Highway 61 Revisited” about G od telling Abraham to kill him a son, but what does this have to do with these two? They aren’t father and son. Bottom line is, the movies a mess. Friedkin would like one to believe there’s more than meets the eye to his tale o f two trackers. I f there’s deep meaning in there somewhere, though, I wasn’t able to pick up its trail. ®

For a solid cinematic fix, the Green Mountain Film Festival arrives every March to push the art that Vermonters crave. March to push the art that Vermonters crave. The Montpelier event — which runs from March 21 to 30 — offers 27 motion pictures this year. Discussions with directors allow audiences to feel even more connected to what they’ve wit nessed at the Savoy Theater and nearby City Hall Arts Center. Above all, expect eclecticism. Opening night features three selec tions: Nosey Parker, a Tunbridge come dy by John O ’Brien in which city folks are introduced to small-town ways; Blue Vinyl, Judith Helfand’s documentary about her own family’s environmental nightmare; and Waiting for Happiness, a non-linear meditation on African life by Abderrahmane Sissako o f Mauritania. Set in his homeland, Happiness unfolds at a pace that could alienate the restless. Then again, an impatient American might well be seduced by the timelessness o f Nouadhiboua. In this coastal village surrounded by desert, both sand and sea control destiny. The elliptical plot centers on 17-yearold Abdallah, who returns home to visit his mother before emigrating to Europe. The educated young man has been gone so long — in some unspecified part o f the country — that he’s unable or unwill ing to readjust to Nouadhiboua’s tradi tional rhythms. Abdallah has even forgotten the local dialect, but receives instruction from a small boy named Khatra. The child is an

apprentice to an elderly electrician who tries to bring some measure o f progress to the isolated hamlet and wistfully remem bers the days when he relied on the ocean’s bounty. Meanwhile, a girl is learn ing ancient, doleful songs from the Koran. The movies mysteries never quite unravel. As Sissako conveys a sense o f cultural dislocation, his narrative reaches for a minimalist perfection that’s possible in the medium: showing rather than telling. Filmmaker Yesim Ustaoglu also real izes that subtlety carries more punch than overstated morals or messages. And yet, in Journey to the Sun, his message seems clear: Intolerance is intolerable. Berzan, a Kurd from a region near the Iraqi border, works as an Istanbul street vendor selling music tapes. His friend Mehmet, whose job involves detecting leaks in the city’s subterranean water pipes, is a dark-skinned Turk arrested and beaten when police mistake him for a Kurd. Phis 1999 release takes on new mean ing as Turkey, Iraq and their Kurdish populations have suddenly moved to cen ter stage. Journey — which first unspools at the festival on Sunday, March 23 — considers the anguish o f ethnic repression and the liberation inherent in any search for identity. The search for salvation is depicted in Hell House, George Ratliff’s cinema verite look at evangelical Christians organiz ing an annual Halloween fright night to scare nonbelievers into submission. The doc starts at the festival on Tuesday. These devout Texans build an ambitious “haunted house,” where they perform graphic skits about the consequences of sin, with abortion and homosexuality at the top o f the list. Thousands o f specta tors show up, and many o f them are so shocked by the horror scenarios that they agree to be “saved” on the spot. Religion also figures in Amen, by Constantin Costa-Gavras. This fact-based drama — first screening on Saturday, March 22 — traces the efforts o f a disaf fected SS officer and a Jesuit priest who try to persuade Pope Pius XII to speak out against the Holocaust. The Holy See refuses to see the writing on the wall for Jews. Another type o f atrocity is addressed in Strange Fruit, also this weekend. The Joel Katz documentary examines the sim ilarly titled song made famous in the 1930s by Billie Holiday. It was written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish schoolteacher from the Bronx. His powerful lyrics tar get the lynching o f black people, which was then a common occurrence in the South. Meeropol went on to play a significant role in a second questionable chapter o f American history: He adopted the orphaned sons o f Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, who were executed as spies during the McCarthy Era. The continu ity o f injustice presented in Strange Fruit is bitter indeed. ® For more festival info, call 2 79-7788 or visit www.savoytheater.com/gmfJ.

How much did the Catholic Church know about the Holocaust? In 1964, Rolf Hochhuth created a firestorm of controver sy when he addressed this issue in his play "The Deputy." Director Constantin CostaGavras (director of such political thrillers as Z and MISSING) has now adapted the play, based on the true story of Kurt Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur), an SS lieutenant and civilian chemist, who discovers that the Zyklon B pellets he has developed to disinfect soldiers' drinking water are being used instead to gas Jews by the thousands. He secretly approaches the Swedish Consulate, the German Protestant community and finally Vatican representatives in the hopes of exposing Nazi policies. The only one who listens is Father Riccardo (Matthieu Kassovitz), a young Jesuit priest with deep family connections to the Vatican; Riccardo promises Gerstein he will alert the Pope in hopes that the pontiff will denounce the Final Solution. indieWire: "A solid, engrossing drama whose central theme, the reluctance of the Vatican to speak out about Nazi atrocities during World War I I , is brilliantly explored in all its aching complexity. There is no bitter condemnation of the Pope here, as some Catholics might fear, but rather a sensitive probing of the multiple agendas at work. The Greek-born, Paris-based Costa-Gavras has always been one of the world's finest political filmmakers, and it is very good indeed to see him back in form." Co-sponsored by Beth Jacob Synagogue. 132 minutes, English language.

BLACKBOARDS SATURDAY, MARCH 22,11:45 AM, SAVOY TUESDAY, MARCH 25,8:45 PM, SAVOY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26 ,4:00 PM, SAVOY 22-year-old Samira Makhmalbaf's film, which won the 2000 Special Jury Prize at Cannes, tracks a day in the lives of Said and Reeboir, a pair of itinerant literacy teachers who wander the red-dirt moun tains of the Iran-Iraq border, blackboards on their backs, in an often fruitless search for pupils. The New York Times: "The stark, relentless images of exhausted travelers dragging themselves on foot through a treacherous mountain landscape evoke an indelible and moving vision of humanity buffeted by the elements and by interna tional political tides. . . . It offers as bare and stripped-down a picture of life at the subsistence level as Iranian cinema has ever presented." Stuart Klawans wrote in The Nation, "Her film has taken us into someplace elemental, desperate, absurd and stunningly beautiful; a place where the people on camera seem to lead timeless lives, without electricity or running water, and yet must contend with off-camera forces equipped with landmines and heli copters. You might think it wrong for art to intrude here. . . but that judgment would cut off the Kurds from culture and from other lives, and Makhmalbaf chooses to face these people." Co-sponsored by the Peace and Justice Center. 85 minutes, in Kurdish with subtitles.

SUNDAY, MARCH 23,4:30 PM, CITY HALL With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl sid ing firmly in hand, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and her co-director Daniel Gold travel from Helfand's Long Island hometown to America's vinyl manu facturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chlo ride (PVC). Her parents' decision to re-side their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with many twists and turns. The result is a humorous but sober ing and uniquely personal exploration of the relationship between consumers and industry. Although the film reveals a com plex web of alleged corporate conspiracies and the tragic loss of human life from chemical exposure, BLUE VINYL also poses a refreshingly simple question: "Is it possi ble to make products that never hurt any one at any point of their life cycle?" 96 minutes. Preceded by animated short SPOON, by Meredith Holch. Co-sponsored by VPIRG. Post-film event: Judith Helfand w ill discuss the film on Friday, March 21.

Elaborate costumes, camp burlesque, LSD and wild theatricality were the ingredients in the popularity of the free-form tribe known as The Cockettes, whose heyday was the late 60's and early 70's in San Francisco. They decked themselves out in gender-bending drag and glitter for a series of now-legendary midnight shows at North Beach's Palace Theater. With titles like "Tinsel Tarts in a Hot Coma" and "Pearls Over Shanghai," these all-singing, all-danc ing extravaganzas featured elaborate cos tumes, rebellious sexuality and exuberant chaos. Directors Bill Weber and David Weissman assembled archival footage of their outrageous performances, and inter viewed the surviving members, who look back on their antics with humor and insight. The film (winner of the Los Angeles Film Critics' Best Documentary award this year) illuminates the idealistic, anarchic spirit of the times, its sexual poli tics, and the tensions between experimen tation and the demands of showbiz suc cess. The New York Times: "Endlessly recy cled and diluted images of the countercul ture have obscured some of the most inter esting and vital parts of the culture itself, which the filmmakers have brought tri umphantly to life." Co-sponsored by Mountain Pride Media, R.U.1.2? Community Center, Outright Vermont and Faeries Camp Destiny, Inc. 100 minutes.

THE GIRL FROM PARIS

www.savoytheater.com/gmff A CONVERSATION WITH STUART KLAWANS SUNDAY, MARCH 23,10 AM, KELLOGG-HUBBARD LIBRARY (Hayes Room)

www.figrig.com

The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the world's great companies, and its school is one of the most rigorous. Youngsters are molded into dancers, and dancers into "etoiles"— stars. Of the hundreds of hopefuls who apply to the school annually, 30 are accepted; a third of them make it through the first year, and only a handful graduate to dance with the company. "The system is a machine that crushes the weak," says one former ballerina. Combining perform ance and rehearsal footage with revealing commentary from choreographers, company directors, students and dancers, director Nils Tavernier elicits starkly contrasting accounts of life in the ballet. His subjects speak candidly and thoughtfully about bal ancing career and relationships; loneliness, camaraderie and competition; and what they've given up and what they get in return. Village Voice: "Among the many pleasures are the lively intelligence of the artists and their perceptiveness about their own situations: 'Dance is something that devours you, stronger than love,' says one." Preceded by three short animated films by Vermont students. Co-sponsored by Contemporary Dance Studio. Post-film event: Maris Wolff, Professor of Dance at Johnson State College, w ill lead a discus sion after the Sunday, March 24 showing. 100 minutes, in French with subtitles;

SUNDAY, MARCH 23,6:30 PM, SAVOY TUESDAY, MARCH 25,1:30 PM, SAVOY THURSDAY, MARCH 27,4:00 PM, SAVOY SATURDAY, MARCH 29,6:30 PM, SAVOY 30-year-old Sandrine (Mathilde Seigner) quits her computer job and buys a remote mountain farm in southeast France from Adrien, an elderly widower (Michel Serrault) who has lost his livelihood to mad-cow dis ease and who remains on as a tenant. At first, he scoffs at her innovations on the farm, which include promoting ecological holidays on the Internet and welcoming

coach-loads of schoolchildren. But soon skepticism turns to grudging admiration for her pragmatism and resilience. Director Christian Carion, himself a son of farmers, gives us an unsentimental look at the harsh realities of farming while presenting a poignant character study. The skillfully underplayed performances by veteran Serrault and rising newcomer Seigner make their characters' evolving relationship believ able and touching. Co-sponsored by the Hunger Mountain Coop. 103 minutes, in French with subtitles.

HELL HOUSE TUESDAY, MARCH 25,6:30 PM, CITY HALL WEDNESDAY MARCH 26,8:30 PM, CITY HALL Every Halloween since 1992, the Trinity Assembly of God Pentacostal Church in subur ban Dallas, Texas has staged "Hell House." Superficially, it's like the standard Haunted House found in many American towns in late October. However, this one has a goal: saving souls. Through 13 chambers, depicting abor tion, the occult, infidelity, drug use, AIDS, suicide and drunk driving, the organizers hope to scare patrons back into the fold. Says film maker George Ratliff, a native of nearby Amarillo, "I was curious about the theology that allowed this behavior. . . . I don't think this culture has ever been accurately por trayed in a film. They're really easy to poke fun at, because these guys are so over the top." The outcome of the director's curiosity is a portrait of the 2000 extravaganza, which drew more than 12,000 paying customers. Ratliffs remarkable and non-judgmental indepth documentary follows church members as they plan the event, write the script, hold auditions and rehearsals, and build sets. The

In this involving and lyrical film, two young men from different regions from Turkey have come to Istanbul to find work. Mehmet is from the west of Turkey, while Berzan, a Kurd, is from an eastern region bordering Iraq. The two men meet during a street demonstration and form a friendship; Berzan, a member of the Kurdish rebel underground, is involved in political activi ty, but Mehmet ju st wants to enjoy life and be with Arzu, his girlfriend. But it is Mehmet, with his dark complexion, who is mistaken for a Kurd and arrested. This timely debut feature from Yesim Ustaoglu was hailed at the New Directors/New Films Festival as "haunting and incisive" by The New York Times. "The shadow of Graham Greene looms over the film as it tracks the moral education of an innocent... Ms.

Ustaoglu's accumulation of emotional detail quietly pays off." Cosponsored by the Peace and Justice Center and Vermont Refugee Assistance Center. I l l minutes, in Turkish and Kurdish with subtitles.

LAST DANCE SATURDAY, MARCH 22,6:30 PM, CITY HALL SUNDAY, MARCH 23. NOON, CITY H ALL TUESDAY, MARCH 25,8:30 PM, CITY HALL In this documentary tracing the evolution of a theater piece, director Mirra Bank goes behind the scenes to record the often-stormy but ultimately rewarding collaboration between Pilobolus, the iconoclastic dance ^ company, and legendary author/illustrator Maurice Sendak. Over months of improvisa tion in the studio, they transform Sendak's -haunting Holocaust vision into a disturbing theater piece. It's a must not only for dancers, but for anyone who's ever been involved in a collaborative process. The New York Times: "One of the thrills of the movie is watching the improvisatory trial-and-error process as the dancers explore psychological themes, contorting their graceful, amazingly limber bodies into visual representations of relationships and emotional states. Although the dancers offer some remarks about their roles, it's not what they say but how they contort themselves that can ignite ideas that become incorporated into the larger con cept." Note: although Maurice Sendak is fea tured in the film, it is definitely not for chil dren. Cosponsored by Contemporary Dance Studio. 85 minutes. Post-film event: Mirra Bank will discuss her film after the Saturday, March 22 show.

Lucia Small's complex and heartfelt docu mentary, winner of last year's Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival and recently named as one of indieWire's list of the best unreleased films of the last year, was described by Variety as "a touching and frequently illuminating inquiry into the life of a man who claims to be brilliant, regardless of the fact that only a few sup port his claim. . . . The man is the direc tor's father, futurist and architect Glen \ V Small, who, despite a scattering of major works over 30 years, never acheived the prominence as his contemporaries Frank Gehry and Thom Mayne. . . . Director Small draws attention to her father's work, but the film is also a gentle probing of a ten der emotional realm." The Boston Phoenix, in choosing it as one of the best films of the year, called it "a real-life ROYAL TENENBAUMS in which the filmmaker's father comes off as insufferable but nonetheless charming and sympathetic, a visionary architect whose uncompromising idealism exiled him to the margins." 84 minutes. Post-film event: Lucia Small w ill discuss her film at the Thursday, March 27 showing.

TUESDAY, MARCH 25,4:00 PM, SAVOY In the third installment of John O'Brien's "Tunbridge Trilogy" (after VERMONT IS FOR LOVERS and MAN WITH A PLAN), Richard and Natalie Newman moVe to rural Vermont where they expect the unspoiled setting and the indigenous values to rejuvenate their marriage. The construction of their trophy house inevitably leads to a visit from town lister George Lyford, an older farmer who is suspicious of newcomers. The film is actually three stories, according to the director: the tale of an unlikely friendship, the documen tation of a Vermont that's changing from rural to exurban and an elegy to our elders. Says O'Brien, "In a time when irony is everyone's favorite emotion, this film is unabashedly sincere." 105 minutes. Post film event: John O'Brien will appear after the Friday, 6:30 show. OPENING NIGHT CELE BRATION: Julio's Restaurant catered recep tion at City Hall Arts Center 9:00 - 11:00.

In September 1998, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet flew to London on a pleasure trip, resting for a few days and having tea with Margaret Thatcher. But suddenly he began experiencing back pain and underwent an operation. Waking from surgery, he was arrested by the London police for genocide and terrorism. This masterful film by Patricio Guzman (THE BATTLE OF CHILE and CHILE, OBSTINATE MEMORY) investigates the legal origins of the case in Spain and explores how a small group of people laid the groundwork for this incredible legal feat. Guzman's film movingly incorporates the stories of many Chileans who went to Madrid to testify, including relatives of the "disappeared" and survivors of torture. The New York Times: "This eloquent, meticulously struc tured film has the feel of a choral sympho ny that swells to a bittersweet finale." Co sponsored by Cheney, Brock and Saudek; the Peace and Justice Center; ACLU of VT. 110 minutes. Post-film event: Reed Brody, Human Rights Watch Special Counsel for Prosecutions, will discuss the film at the Monday, March 24 show.

Danny Clinch and Sam Lee's documentary is an.intriguing study of the contemporary "roots rock" icon Ben Harper, offering a rare glimpse into his travels, performances, songwriting and into his unusual and close-knit family. Harper, whose music is a vibrant fusion of rock, reggae, funk, blues and jazz, is a unique counterpoint to pre fabricated pop bands. He and his band, The Innocent Criminals, have achieved great popularity with little or no radio airplay, relying on word of mouth generated by their concerts. Despite the grueling demands of the incessant touring that the film ably documents, Harper is genuinely enthralled by the life he leads on the road. Seattle Film Festival: "The film's crowning moment is not the dynamic concert footage in Paris, nor the backstage access or the beautiful photography, but rather a simple, quiet exchange between Harper and his mother as they play guitars and sing in her living room." Sponsored by Figrig Web Crafters. 92 minutes.

SUNDAY, MARCH 30,7:00 PM, SAVOY "9/11 was a historic event, but unfortu nately not because the scale or the nature of the atrocity but because of who the vic tims were." Noam Chomsky can be said to be America's leading political dissident; his strong views on American foreign policy have unquestionably marginalized him. Director John Junkerman intercuts a series of talks that Chomsky gave in California and New York with an extended interview at his MIT office. In these talks, Chomsky begins with the fundamental principle that the exercise of violence against civilian popula tions is terror, whether the perpetrator is a well-organized band of Islamic extremists or the most powerful state in the world. He challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands of others. Variety: "The film offers a lively introduction to the highly articulate Chomsky and to his controversial views on 9/11. . . . For those who know his work, the film affords a glimpse of the tireless patience, passion and openness of the man behind the words." Co-sponsored by Vermont Compost Company and the Peace and Justice Center. 71 minutes.

Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov has said that he wanted to capture "the flow of time" in a pure cinematic language that suggests "a single breath." To that end, he realized a one-of-a-kind film consisting of one uninterrupted, continuous 96-minute single take that winds its way through The Hermitage of St. Petersburg. The New York Times: "RUSSIAN ARK is a magnificent conjuring act, an eerie historical mirage evoked in a single sweeping wave of the hand by Alexander Sokurov. . . . Sokurov's nameless protagonist, a 19th-century diplomat, takes us on a journey through the museum as a cast of 2000 actors and extras act out random, whimsical moments of Russian imperial history that dissolve into one another like chapters of a dream. . . . The movie culminates in what may well be the ne plus ultra of period cine matic pomp: a re-creation of the last great royal ball held at the Hermitage under Czar Nicholas in 1913." No rating, 96 minutes, in Russian with subtitles.

In the 1960's, Ruth Berman and Connie Kurtz were typical housewives, living in a cozy Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn. Meeting as married women with children, they became fast friends as well as leaders in their synagogue. After 15 years of friendship, they fell in love, left their fami lies and caused a sensation in the commu nity. Now, 25 years later, their love has outlasted many of their friends' marriages. Though time hasn't quite healed the wounds of their own families, they have persevered, establishing themselves as activists and advocates for the gay and les bian community. Director Deborah Dickson establishes an immediate intimacy with these two irrepressible women as they share their story of an exceptional love affair. Co-sponsored by Mountain Pride Media, R.U.1.2? Community Center and Outright Vermont. 58 minutes.

One of the great events of 2002 for film buffs was the reissue of Akira Kurosawa's influential masterpiece, with new prints and new subtitles. For years a 16th century Japanese farm village has been at the mercy of. roving bandits. The distressed rice farmers have been beaten and robbed, have seen their town torn apart and their women kidnapped. Anticipating another raid, the desperate community tries to hire professional warriors for protection with nothing to offer but three meals a day. One by one the samurai (including one played by Toshiro Mifune) are recruited and begin to prepare for the inevitable moment when they must prove their courage. The climac tic battle in a driving rainstorm is justly regarded as a classic sequence in film his tory. Pauline Kael: "A raging, sensuous work of such overpowering immediacy that it leaves you exhilarated." Co-sponsored by Japan Society of Vermont. 207 minutes, in Japanese with subtitles.

SA FETY LAST SATURDAY, MARCH 22,2:00 PM, SAVOY SUNDAY, MARCH 23,10:00 AM , SAVOY Attention to Keaton and Chaplin has often caused the great comic genius Harold Lloyd to be overlooked; Orson Welles called him "the most underrated comedian of them all." We present an archival print of his classic 1923 comedy in which he leaves his small town to make good in the big city. Hired as a lowly department store clerk, he aims for big ger things, and in an effort to impress his visiting sweetheart, he conceives of a promo tional stunt for his employers: a friend will scale the store's eight-story building. But cir cumstances force a terrified Harold to do the climbing himself, climaxing in one of the most iconic (and hilarious) scenes in silent film, in which he dangles from the face of a clock high above street level.

STRANGE FRUIT SATURDAY, MARCH 22,10:30 AM, CITY HALL

In the astonishing new work from Japanese animation master Hayao Miyasaki (PRINCESS MONONOKE), Chihiro, a 10-yeargirl in the midst of a move to the suburbs with her parents, becomes trapped in a town normally invisible to humans. It's a place that various gods, from local deities to goblins and monsters, inhabit, and her parents, who have eaten the food of these gods without permission, are turned into pigs. Chihiro is hired by the witch Yu-baaba to work in this literal ghost town, preparing baths for a pantheon of spirits, both good and evil. With the help of new friends, Chihiro struggles to retain her identity. The New York Times: "It's a masterpiece, pure and simple— certainly the finest thing that Japanese anime has produced. No one else conjures the phantasmagoric and shifting morality of dreams in the way this master animator does." SPIRITED AWAY is a nomi nee for this year's Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Co-sponsored by Community

SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 6:30 PM, CITY HALL "Southern trees bear a strange fruit: Blood on the leaves and blood at the root." The world's best-known anti-lynching song is often attributed to Billie Holiday, who made it famous, but it was actually written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish public school teacher in the Bronx. Joel Katz' compelling film traces the song from the turmoil of the 30's through the McCarthy Era (Meeropol was the adoptive father of the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg) and into the activist 60's, exploring along the way the alliance between left-wing Jews and African-Americans in the struggle for civil rights. Variety: "A little-known chapter in U.S. race relations is given a fascinating exploration. . . . The film excels in the depiction of a rich leftist movement, with several cultures interacting expressively in the 1930's and 40's." With Amiri Baraka,

Director Benoit Jacquot's version of the Puccini opera has been hailed as one of the finest translations of opera to be adapted to the screen. Puccini's tale of love, betray al and political intrigue is sung by top-rank performers: the Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu as Tosca; her husband, the French tenor Roberto Alagna as Tosca's artist lover Cavaradossi; and the Italian bass-baritone Ruggiero Raimondi as the evil Baron Scarpia, a sadistic police chief who offers Tosca her mate's freedom in exchange for sexual favors. They are accompanied by the Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House, conducted by the Covent Garden's musical director, Antonio Pappano. The Village Voice: "TOSCA manages to be expan sive and intimate at once. . . . The wonder ful singers lip-synch to their own voices, and the film cuts between the staged action and the recording session. . . . Two hours fly by, and even a novice to the form comes away exhilarated." 119 minutes, in Italian with subtitles.

McNeal, TULLY is a film about love and injury, a drama about two young men and their father and the way the loss of the wife and mother who left them long ago threatens to stunt their lives. The title character is a cocky teenager (Anson Mount, Jr .), who lives and works on a Nebraska farm with his close-lipped father (Bob Burrus) and his shy younger brother (Glenn Fitzgerald). The story of a crisis in the family and on the farm is told with unusual sensitivity, ambiguity and tough mindedness. Variety: "It's anchored by fine performances, delicate narrative develop ment and an overall tenderness. . . . With a charm similar to Hollywood's best leading men, Mount is stellar as a troubled soul, and his evolution into a conscientious adult is convincing. . . . The supporting cast, especially Julianne Nicholson as Tully's good-hearted lover and Glenn Fitzgerald as the sensitive brother, are outstanding." 102 minutes.

After 20 years of covering war, poverty and famine, famed photojournalist James Nachtwey still sees his work as an antidote to war and his photographs as a graphic "negotiation for peace." An Oscar nominee for 2001's Best Documentary, the film was directed by Swiss filmmaker Christian Frei, who followed Nachtwey to Kosovo, Palestine and Indonesia.. The San Francisco Chronicle: "The subject of this extraordinary film not only belies the stereotypical image of the war correspondent— emotionally numb, fre TULLY quently drunk— but also stands so far apart SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 6:30 PM, SAVOY from it that his idealism and monklike com MONDAY, MARCH 24, 8:45 PM, SAVOY mitment are inspiring. . . .

WAITING FOR HAPPINESS FRIDAY, MARCH 21,9:00 PM, SAVOY SUNDAY, MARCH 23,4:30 PM, SAVOY MONDAY, MARCH 24,1:30 PM, SAVOY One of the most talented African fiinimakersN to emerge in the past decade is Mauritania's Abderrahmane Sissako (LIFE ON EARTH), % whose latest film is a stunningly shot, beautifully observed mosaic of life in a small seaside village ort the West African coast. The central character is young Abdallah, a young man away for so long

from his homeland that he has forgotten how to speak the local dialect. Abdallah's preparations for emigration to Europe are shown in a series of encounters with several of the locals, each of whom provides a counterpoint to Abdallah's story. The Village Voice: "Sissako records the comings and goings in a sleepy port with a rueful appre足 ciation for human incongruity. . . . As welf, come as a cool breeze on a summer after足 noon, this is a movie of understated, refreshing purity. . . . To see a Chinese man singing karaoke in a Mauritanian bar gives us about as powerful an image of globaliza足 tion as we're likely to find in cinema." Co足 sponsored by the Association of Africans Living in Vermont. 95 minutes, in French and Arabic with subtitles.

Hey there, Karen. I just stopped by to show you something I came across this morning. I know you collect buttons, so I thought you might be interested.

It appears to be a decorative button from a marching band uniform. Still, I’m not sure... maybe it’s from an old military dress jacket.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): When you’re at your best, Aries, you see the cracks in the facades as opportunities; you get giddy as you careen over bumps in the road; you love the enticing magic that flows from situations that other people regard as rough or crooked. Since you will soon be at your best again, I expect you’ll be encountering a surge o f juicy serendipity. Here’s a quote to incite you, courtesy of Aries poet Charles Baudelaire. “That which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal: from which it follows that irregularity — that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonish ment, are an essential part and char acteristic of beauty.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): One o f your reliable tools isn’t bro ken yet, but I advise you to fix it before it is. A power failure will occur soon unless you take steps to prevent a system overload. The mon ster in your closet is still safely asleep, which is why I urge you to call in an exorcist or exterminator now, before it wakes up. Are you catching my drift, Taurus? Because you’ve been smart and lucky enough to tune in to this horoscope, you have all the forewarning you need to prevent a crisis.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): You know how a song can get stuck in your head and won’t leave you alone? The astrological omens say you’ll be unusually susceptible to this phenomenon in the coming week. I suggest, therefore, that you immedi ately begin working to ensure that you’ll be invaded by only the most inspiring and motivating songs. As soon as you’re finished reading this horoscope, make a list o f your top five, then hum them for a while. Want some suggestions? How about

r ~ *\

“Clean Out My Closet,” by Eminem or “I See God in You,” by India Arie? Or maybe “The Miseducation o f Lauryn Hill,” which ends with the lines “Deep in my heart the answer was in me/And I made up my mind to find my own destiny.”

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Just before my friend Juliana received the phone call informing her she’d gotten the dream job she’d applied for, she’d been devoutly depressed, reading tabloids and eat ing doughnuts in her pajamas at 2 p.m. When my friend Jessie got the call informing him he’d been chosen as a back-up singer for the world tour o f a group he’d idolized for years, he was recovering from a nasty hangover while playing video games with his 10-year-old nephew, whose family was letting him freeload dur ing his fifth month o f unemploy ment. I’m not saying the lightning bolt that will illuminate your world will be as dramatic as these two examples, Cancerian; but a lightning bolt is a lightning bolt.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In his book Animals and Psychedelics, ethnobotanist Giorgio Samorini proves that many animals deliberately alter their consciousness. His evidence includes robins that get drunk on holly berries and act “like winged clowns,” as well as goats that are dependent on caffeine and reindeer that seek out hallucinogenic mush rooms. Samorini concludes that the desire to get high is a natural drive. He suggests that intoxication has served as an evolutionary force for some species, breaking down out worn habits in such a way as to improve long-term survival. All this is prelude to my advice for you, Leo: You now have a cosmic mandate to shed your shticks and expand your

LITTLE DIRECTION 46 Opposite of aweather 47 London lavatory 48 AngloSaxon laborer

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many otherwise intelligent people cling to a perverse model of intimacy articulated by Norman Mailer. As reported in Leah Garchik’s column in the San Francisco Chronicle, Mailer described marriage as “an excretory relationship, in which you take all the crap you hide from the world and dump it on the person closest to you. But the proviso is that you have to be willing to take theirs.” If your approach to intimate communion has even a shred of this vulgar stupidity, Virgo, you’re now in prime time to banish it from your repertoire forever. You’ll attract uncanny luck and inspiration when ever you work in a way opposite to Mailer’s; that is to say, when you train yourself to call up all the beau ty you hide from the world and offer it up to the person closest to you.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your word of power in the coming weeks will be stretch. Intone it as a mantra 35 times a day and write it in red ink on an index card that you keep in a prominent place in your environment. In addition, Libra, I urge you to regularly embody these three meanings o f stretch: 1. to make longer, wider or bigger without breaking or tearing; 2. to straighten and extend your body to its full span so as to increase circulation and fore stall cramps; 3. to carry out a demanding task that requires you to enlarge your capacities or go beyond what you thought was possible for you to do.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve been very resourceful in your efforts to push love to a new frontier, Scorpio. You’ve been an artist in the way you’ve reinvented passion and you’ve been a pioneer as you’ve dared to explore collabora tions that require you to leave your comfort zone. Congratulations! Now I want to give you a tip that’ll help ensure you don’t undo all your good work. During the next three weeks, meditate often on these words, origi nally penned by poet Percy Bysshe Shelley: “Love withers under con straint: its very essence is liberty: it is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy nor fear: it is there most pure, perfect and unlimited, where its votaries live in confidence, equali ty and unreserve.”

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I found a love note in the trashcan at the post office. It was addressed to “My Succulent, Surging, Sagacious Sagittarius” from “Your Perfectly Imperfect Instigator.” “Let’s be radically curious explorers together,” Instigator told Sagittarius. “Let’s bushwhack through the wilds in search of the rawest truths that the laws of nature will allow us to dive into.” I was shocked to find this thing discarded. What Archer in his or her right mind would throw away such a provocative invitation? Please don’t do anything resembling this mistake in the coming weeks, even if your potential collaborator is “perfecdy imperfect.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): I’m not writing this horo scope, Capricorn. You are. I’m chan neling it from the depths of your innermost mind. Why? Your con scious ego has been so caught up in the daily whirl that it has been stead fastly ignoring an important message

from your still, small voice, which is why your still, small voice has draft ed me to be its envoy. Here’s what it wants you to know: You desperately need to tune in to the still, small voice. The communique it has to convey to you is simple and brief, yet richer than 30 hours’ worth of advice from 30 experts. It will help you save an enormous amount of time and pull off a constructive cost mic joke.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s one of those blessed times when you’ll heighten your attractive ness by thinking more deeply; when pursuing higher education will help you create conditions in which you can better satisfy your desires; when you can make yourself sexier by becoming smarter, and vice versa. In the spirit of this happy confluence of id and intellect, I offer you a few librarian pick-up lines, gleaned from www.lisnews.com. 1. “I’d luuuuuv to check you out.” 2. “I couldn’t help noticing what a great book bag you have.” 3. “Are you a librarian, because when you walked in the room I knew I was overdue.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Back in 1985, when my roommate Arlena asked her new acquaintance, Joey the escaped convict, to stay at our house for a few weeks, I over came my propensity to be an overly patient, absurdly accommodating doormat. “There is no way in hell that Joey will ever spend even a night here,” I told Arlena firmly, and despite her protests, I prevailed. I y have an intuition that you will n receive a comparable opportunity to exercise a strong and lucid new ver sion o f your willpower in the coming week, Pisces. (Z)

LO LA the love counselor Dear Lola, I am the mother of two daughters, ages 4 and 6. One day dur ing a recent visit with my mother, the girls disappeared into their grandmother's room for an extended period of time. Imagine my surprise when I went in to check on them and discovered them happily sitting on my mother's bed playing with a rather sizable collection of sex toys. Somehow I man aged to keep my cool. Blathering something about being care ful with "Granny's things," I helped them put everything back in the bedside drawer where they'd found it. Then I quickly herded them out with a promise of ice cream. It didn't seem to occur to the girls to ask what "Granny's things" were, and I certainly didn't answer. And of course I didn't say a word about it to my mother. But I've been pretty freaked out ever since. What should I do? Rattled in Rutland Dear Rattled, For starters, be glad that Granny is having a good time. I wouldn't suggest bringing the topic up with her. The conversa tion would no doubt just embarrass both of you. As for your girls, next time you visit Granny, remind them that they shouldn't be playing with other people's "things" without ask ing permission first. Love, Lola
