question

H ow yo u a v o id g e ttin g th e n evere n d i n g w in te r ?

By working with flowers and visiting the state of Georgia. I’m not of Vermont, even though I’ve lived here ail my life.

- Jennifer Sumner Floral designer, Emslie the Florist Montpelier By being a sugarmaker. In the 12 years I’ve been working out doors at this, winters aren’t anywhere near as long as they used to be.

— Steve Pierson, Sugarmaker, Stowe Maple Products "Stowe I actually love neverending winters, espe cially below-zero tem peratures when I get in my outdoor hot tub and look up at the sky. I’ve also got six Tibetan Terriers with webbed feet that act like snowshoes when I go cross country skiing.

It’s one thing to have ones words used to enhance Libby Sternbergs weekly right-wing propaganda sheet. That I should have anticipated, and I bear a large part of the blame for being foolish enough to speak to her at all. It’s an entirely different matter to have Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,” Mar. 14] twist those same words into a vicious smear of me without having the decency to contact me for a response.. All journalists know that what they report will sometimes hurt peo ple. Freyne is the only reporter I’ve ever encountered who hurts people for the sheer gluttonous joy of it. Freyne doesn’t know my reporting, my long track record with VPR and NPR, or me personally. Those who do know that his characterization of me as a “right-wing journalist” is sim ply outrageous, off the mark and off the wall. Sternberg was eager to use my words precisely because she knows, as she put it in a previous col umn, that I’m “hardly a conserva• » tive. For the record, my “defense” of Ruth Dwyer ends completely with my feeling that she was treated unfairly by the media (including my own coverage) during the campaign, particularly during the two-day news cycle about Bernie Rome’s uncorrob orated charges of anti-Semitism. That episode troubled a number of jour nalists, not just me. In my opinion, Dwyer is simply a typical conserva tive Republican. Pier positions on abortion, civil unions, gun control and protection (or lack of it) of the environment are endorsed by George

W. Bush. I don’t think most people would call Bush “unstable” or “extremist” (especially compared to his primary opponents) for holding these views. Also for the record: The pride I expressed to Sternberg about VPR’s coverage of ACT 60 concerned the size and scope of the project — visit ing schools in 35 towns over the course of a year to gauge the effects of the law at the grassroots level. As such, I believe it was a model of enterprise journalism. But I was not proud of the criticism the series engendered and, as I told Sternberg, was very disheartened when Robert Gensburg cancelled his membership to VPR because of this coverage and wrote me a scathing letter to accom pany it. I still believe the coverage was fair, balanced and accurate. But I respect his view to the contrary. Upon my departure from VPR last November, Governor Dean wrote me a personal letter that read in part: “I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the work that you have done to build a news department at VPR. VPR offers its listeners in-depth stories of important issues facing the state, and your com prehensive coverage of Act 60 and the new civil-unions law gave Vermonters a much better under standing about the importance of these laws.” Finally, by maligning me with such a broad brush, Freyne also maligns a team of reporters that col lectively won six national awards and five regional Murrow awards during my tenure as News Director. He also maligns VPR, which supported us through thick and thin. By putting

JVH [John Van Hoesen] at the news helm, VPR will undoubtedly contin ue its devotion to local news. — Steve Young Falmouth, Massachusetts BIGOTS IN T H E H O USE

Heterosexism is the belief that heterosexuality is better than homo sexuality. Bigotry is intolerant devo tion to prejudice, to an irrational atti tude of hostility directed against a group — for example, gays and les bians. Judging by their votes, there are 84 heterosexist bigots in the Vermont House. This is not name calling, it’s the appropriate use of descriptive terms. Someday their chil dren and grandchildren will be embarrassed and ashamed of them, if they are not already. — Kevin Moss Middlebury PRIVATE ISLAND IN CYBER HELL

Recently I’ve experienced one of the mixed blessings of the cyber world. I was a happy-go-lucky com puter user who had managed to learn how to get on the Internet and send and receive e-mail. My service provider was Together Networks, at $10 a month. Then I was notified that they would be merging with EarthLink and we would all be bigger and hap pier together. A large packet arrived in the mail with a CD for the change-over. It was all supposed to be so easy, they said... but it wasn’t. After repeated tries I got the new program installed, only to have the same message appear that my pass word was not being accepted at their

end of the line. However, EarthlLink stood ready to give assistance, with their operators standing by online. The only thing was that I could not get online, but remained beached on my own little private island in cyber hell. So finally I called the Vermont Attorney General to complain, and they said there were quite a number of unhappy people in my situation and took my name and phone num ber. Meanwhile, I found another provider with a local phone number and finally got hitched up and plugged in. Then, of all things, EarthLink mailed me a bill for the past month of service which I never got. So I sent them a mean little note detailing my disappointment with them and hope this will be the end of it. All this does make me wonder why the small providers like Together Networks’are being swallowed whole by bigger fish and why is it that they are so afraid of being left behind in the technology race that they are will ing to forsake their faithful cus tomers? As my old math teacher used to say, there are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count and those who can’t. So you can see where this leaves me. — Paul Falcone Montpelier

about last Friday at the Statehouse. Included in Mr. Sawyer’s sampler (www.davidsawyer.com) was a black-and-white shot of a nude woman laying back on the white sheets. I think it’s a lovely image,” said Vermont Life Editor Tom Slayton. “I’m not distressed about it,” he told Seven Days. Mr. Slayton said he had been alerted to the matter by Mr. Ehlers. (More on James’ motivation later). Tom said he had spoken to Sawyer about it. “If it becomes an issue,” said Slayton, “he will remove it.” “I hope I’m not going to be censored,” said Sawyer Monday. The 23-year-old Charlotte resi dent majored in photography at Skidmore College. Talented guy. Vermont Life is, indeed, a state-funded publica tion. Editor Slayton pointed out the questionable nude art is not posted on Vermont Lifes own site. Regardless, said Tom, the photo of the nude woman “is not an offensive image.” He told Seven Days that it’s Vermont Life's policy to compensate photographers for work published on the magazine Web site — either a “small cash payment,” he said, or a “link” to the shooter’s site. Cool. Can’t wait until Rep. Nancy Sheltra and the “Sex Pack” get hold of this one, eh? Vermont Life, however, is not the only Vermont publication with sexual linkage issues. Last Sundays excellent “Heroin’s anguished voices” feature in The Burlington Free Press included nine links to “Information on the Web.” One was to www.heroinpages.org. It’s an interesting site, well worth a visit. You’ll find bluntly honest letters posted by folks who appear to be real-life junkies. Very much an eye-opener.

mailed the five leading candidates for “next” gover nor of Vermont from the Republican, Democrat and Progressive parties. Our topic — last week’s controversial seizure of the two flocks of Belgian sheep by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “In 25 words or less,” we asked, “what’s your position? Do you support the action of the USDA?” Guess which one didn’t respond? Lt. Gov. Doug R acin e , a Democrat, supports the USDA seizure. “Although many legitimate questions*of science remain unanswered, I would prefer to err on the side of caution because of the potential harm to human health and the future of Vermont agriculture,” responded Doug. Cornelius H ogan , a Republican, agreed. “Even though the science is not as clear as we would all like,” wrote Mr. Hogan, “the consequences of being wrong are dangerous. And I say this with a sense of sadness for the animals and their owners.” Big softie! State Sen. Peter S hum lin, a Democrat, added a little oomph. The feds “didn’t move fast enough,” according to Shummy of Windham. “When you have a risk of that nature that could bring a disease to America that could decimate farmers, you have to act more quickly.” Anthony P o llin a , last fall’s Progressive Party standard-bearer, said he supported the seizure. Based on his dealings with USDA on issues like bovine growth hormone and genetic engineering, Tony the Prog said he doesn’t “trust” the USDA, “but we have to err on the side of safety.” State Treasurer Jim Douglas, a Republican, was the only candidate who failed to respond. As you may have heard, Candidate Douglas has publicly •adopted an “Alice in Wonderland” strategy of refus ing to discuss controversial issues for as long as he can get away with it. “I’m really surprised,” said Sen. Shumlin, “that Douglas is being so sheepish on this issue.”

Curses, Foiled Again After receiving a report that three men were riding around an apartment parking lot in a construction-paving machine at 2 a.m., police in Huntsville, Texas, found the machine parked in its original spot. Several residents who had wit nessed the incident directed officers to an apartment where they said the culprits lived. Officers James Fitch and Jose Valles approached the unit and saw the door was partially open. Inside, they could hear the three men talking about the incident and saw them watch ing a videotape they had made of their joyride. The officers impounded the tape as evi dence.

Drinking-Class Heroes Virginia state Sen. Thomas K. Norment Jr., a long-time advocate of stricter drunk-dri ving laws, was charged with dri ving under the influence after a state trooper stopped him and a breath test found his bloodalcohol level to be 0.10 percent. The legal limit is 0.08, thanks to a measure that Norment guided through the legislature. • Three representatives in Puerto Rico’s Legislature intro duced a bill aimed at preventing their colleagues from drinking on the job by forcing lawmakers to submit to surprise alcohol tests four times a year while the body is in session. One of the three sponsors, Rep. Melinda Romero, told the San Juan Star that drunkenness is historically a problem in the Legislature. “There were from 10 to 12 leg islators in a state of drunken ness,” she said of a recent ses sion. “You notice it because they would say foolish things in their speeches.” ®

H O M E D E L IV E R Y : The patient died, but Midwives won’t. The latest incarnation of Chris B ohjalian’S best-selling novel is a made-for-television movie starring Sissy Spacek, Peter Coyote, Piper Laurie, Terry Kinney and Alison Pill. It airs Monday night at 9 p.m. on Lifetime, a.k.a. “television for women.” But ladies looking for a new angle on the obstetrical action will be disappointed by the hokey, by-the-book approach to the story of a Vermont babycatcher charged with invol untary womanslaughter. The movie starts at the moment of the ver dict and backtracks to follow Sibyl Danforth through a disastrous delivery that ends in a fatal C-section. “I think Sissy Spacek is beatific as my beleaguered midwife,” says Bohjalian, conceding his book is “deceptively difficult to adapt.” In its original form, the story is nar rated by the daughter, who retells it years later from her perspective as a licensed OB-GYN. That temporal leap was lost on “teleplay” writer Cynthia Saunders, but Bohjalian is thankful she focused on the right thing: “I always viewed Midwives as a mother-daughter love story, and she got that... Except for the scene where Sybil plunges the knife into Charlotte Bedford, there are not too many big movie moments.” Although the “v” word — “vulva” — is mentioned, the Midwives movie still gets a G-rating. It’s gore-free. “It’s one thing to write that the uterus feels like damp pastry dough. It’s another thing to really see it,” notes Bohjalian. “This isn’t a horror movie.” That, despite the curious pairing of Spacek and Laurie, who were last seen together in Carrie, and the fact that Pill bears an unsettling resemblance to Exorcist actor Linda Blair. The movie gets Vermont all wrong, too. Requisite foliage shots open the flick, although it is supposed to be March, and the countrified interiors look like something out of a sub urban sitcom. Bohjalian is taking it all in stride. “Wait until you see the interactive CD-ROM game,” he suggests with good humor. “With forceps.”

IN B R IE F : Two days of snow put a big damper on Three Days o f Rain.

Northern Stage had to cancel the run of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Richard Greenberg play to reinforce a snow-stressed section of roof at the Briggs Opera House in White River Junction. Work crews assure the supports will be shored up before the scheduled opening of the next show — the musical Big River. But given the potential for spring flooding, we’re not sure we like the sound of that one, either. Perhaps something like Cat on a Hot Tin Roofv/o\A<\ be a safer bet this year . . . Speaking of Tennessee Williams, the higher-ups at Vermont Stage Company are still puzzling over the relatively low turnout for a recent two-week run of A Streetcar Named Desire. Yeah, it snowed a lot. And the Freeps gave the show a lukewarm review. But Dee Pelletier pulled out a blistering Blanche and kept it going for two weeks — even while the Moscow Festival Ballet unleashed a flock of heavy-footed swans overhead last Thursday night. “If we are doing a well-known play, and we are doing it well, downtown, what more can we do?” asks Vermont Stage Artistic Director M a rk N ash. “So many theater companies have tried to get something going in Burlington. One wonders what it takes.” . . . Montpelier certainly doesn’t have that problem. The Savoy Theater turned away more than a hundred peo ple at the Friday-night opening of the seven-day Green Mountain Film Festival. The next day, a Saturday showing of I ’m the One That I Want also sold out. Savoy co-owner R ick W inston calls the Margaret Cho film “the surprise hit so far.” Another unexpected delight was a local submission: Golgonooza, by Shannon Robards and Gahlor D ew ald, goes inside an old-fashioned book press in New Hampshire. A recent transplant to Middlebury, 29-year-old Robards cut her teeth working with Ken Burns — first as an intern through Dartmouth College, then as a full-fledged editor on Baseball and Jazz. But she plays down her own cinematic lineage — she’s the daughter of the late Jason Robards. Her fledgling film company, Manifold Media, has already produced a documentary for Vermont artist Richard S chm id, and she’s been commissioned to produce a water-birth video using footage from Rutland-based midwife Roberta Devers Scott. . . . Addison County art buffs no longer have to head for the local ceme tery to imagine ancient Egypt. Middlebury College has acquired an authentic mummy case that dates back 2500 years. The sarcophagus that once bore Lady Hathor-Mut-Netcher is the collection’s first Egyptian artifact, and it’s a lot more accessible than the other mummy in Middlebury. In 1886, local collector Henry Sheldon brought the remains of a 2-year-old Egyptian prince to Vermont. More than 50 years later, a curator found the corpse decaying in the attic, and the decision was taken to give it “a Christian burial.” To this day, it’s the only headstone in Middlebury Cemetery marking pre-Christian remains. “You think nothing of 1883,” says Tony Lew is at the Middlebury College Museum of Art, “then you see the B.C.” ®

I n h i s new b o o k , b o r d e r - b u s t i n g GARRY DAVIS r e c a l l s h i s l i f e a s a " w o rld c i t i z e n ” B y S u sa n G reen

ear the front door outside his beige, two-story house in South Burlington,

Garry Davis has installed a plaque that reads: “Sovereign World Territory.” Ironically, just a few feet away a city public works sign insists: “No Parking. Tow-Away Zone.” These seemingly conflicting messages — one mans demand for freedom and a municipality’s need for restrictions — might well symbolize the paradox that fre quently greets this 79-year-old idealist on the global stage. For half a century Davis has been a proponent of “world citizen ship,” which stems from his absolute cer tainty that “there is a higher level of law applicable directly to the individual” rather than to that individual’s nationality. Davis maintains that being human is the only necessary qualification to go from place to place. Government bureaucracies see it differently. Although he’s a regular at Queen City lectures and peace demonstrations, many of his political allies probably don’t realize Davis has dropped bombs on Nazis, plot ted protests in Paris with the likes of Albert Camus, sought wisdom from an Indian guru, criss-crossed the planet to demand world citizenship and, for his

troubles, been jailed 34 times in nine countries. Casual observers might regard him as daffy-looking but, with a rebellious mane of hair tied back in a long ponytail, he’s a gray fox whose bespectacled blue eyes blaze with conviction. Davis, who turns 80 in July, is part Don Quixote, part flim flam man. Religious zealots are often Biblethumpers, but the equally ardent Davis brandishes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, devised 33 years ago by the United Nations. That text is the basis for what he calls a World Passport, avail able to anyone who requires identification, and issued by his World Service Authority from offices in Washington, D.C., and Tokyo. In a 1957 photo on the cover of his fourth and latest book, the autobiographi cal Dear World: A Global Odyssey, Davis holds up one of the earliest World Passports. He was then a dead ringer for Lee Harvey Oswald, but his role was more like that of a Johnny Appleseed spreading the message that “nation-states” have no authority to corral human beings. Davis has traveled widely by finagling his way across borders with that self-authorized document. Unenlightened officials often challenged its validity, no matter how sternly Davis warned them they were breaking international laws.

“I didn’t care about anything but being a World Citizen,” he recalls. “The conse quences were not my concern.” Conversely, those consequences includ ed a notoriety that satisfied his keen instinct for self-promotion. For a brief time, Garry Davis was a household word. With a curious blend of big ego and tena cious purpose, he was adept at capturing headlines for a good cause. He continues to ceremoniously bestow passports on public figures, such as the Czech Republic’s Vaclav Havel, although some of them look a bit perplexed in the photo graphs Davis retains as mementos.

f there is one shining moment in the Davis saga, it surely came in 1948. Fueled by painful memories of war, he sough t peace by launching the World Government movement. To renounce his American citizenship, he sur rendered his U.S. passport in France. Sardonic humorist and Davis friend Art Buchwald chronicled it all in his 1996 memoir, I ’ll Always Have Paris-. “A star was born... Clad in his leather bomber jacket, Garry became a hero and an instant celebrity. For fifteen minutes, people were transfixed by the idea of World Citizenship.” The dream is not so fleeting for Davis, who reveals the method behind his mad

dash for distinction on behalf of a noble goal: “My father used to say, ‘It doesn’t matter what they’re saying about you, as long as they’re saying it. Make them write about you, Garry.’” The advice stuck with Davis, whose astonishing combination of confrontation, courage and chutzpah is rooted in show business. His Jewish father, Meyer, was a celebrated bandleader dubbed “the Millionaire Maestro” for performing “soci ety music” at dances and diplomatic func tions. Hilda Davis, Garry’s Irish mother, played piano. The upscale Philadelphia family — Davis was the third of five children — had homes jn several states. “I went to private schools in Rolls Royces driven by chauf feurs,” he says. After one year in college, Davis headed for Broadway at age 18. He was cast in the chorus line and as Danny Kaye’s under study in a hit musical, Let's Face It. But in 1941, the country entered World War II. W ith two siblings already in the armed forces, Davis enlisted in the Air Corps. Any notion of patriotism began to wane while he was still in training. T hat’s when Davis learned that his 22-year-old brother had been killed in action off the coast of Italy. Bud’s was the only U.S. ship — of 122 — bombed by the Germans during the invasion of Salerno. “He was a poet; we were going to write musicals

together. I just wanted to get revenge after that,” he says. Davis flew six B-17 bombing missions in 1944. On a sortie over Nazi-occupied Belgium, the lead bombardier in his squadron “had a date in London, so he dropped the payload 10 miles away from the target,” Davis recalls. “We wiped out a little Belgian village for no reason. It wasn’t war, it was just murder.” Later that year two of his plane’s engines were knocked out by enemy fire. Unable to return to base in England, the aircraft landed in neutral Sweden, which was required to detain the Americans. They escaped after three months with help from the U.S. military. When the Atomic Age dawned horrifi cally over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, “people called it the first bombing of World War III,” Davis remem bers. “I thought it was a terrible mistake. It got me questioning. I’d been part of a war, now how could I be a part of peace? I began a long, introspective search.” To earn a living back home, Davis appeared in a 1946 revue with Ray Bolger, who had been the scarecrow in The Wizard o f Oz. As cold war took the place of peace, Davis was tormented. He looked to the writings of Socrates and self-pro claimed world citizen H.G. Welles. Davis also found inspiration in Henry Noel, a-veteran who renounced his citizen ship in Paris with the statement, “I don’t want to be a party to the suicide o f my civilization.” Noel then went to war-torn Germany to help rebuild a church. Davis wanted to go there as well. Although he’d just been offered a choice theatrical part, “I told the producer, ‘I’ve got to work for world peace.’ He thought I was crazy. I figured I’d make peace in a couple of years and then go back to show business. The arrogance of youth.” Davis headed to Europe. “I felt totally, totally alone. But I knew it was right, an act of redemption for my part in the war, a real response to my brother’s death and a tool to awaken my fellow Americans.” In May 1948, he got as far as France. After relin quishing his citizenship at the U.S. Embassy, Davis immediately alerted the Associated Press. “Because my father was famous, they took notice. The story was picked up by newspapers around the world,” he explains, opening one of many scrapbooks with old clippings. Suddenly undocumented, Davis designed an International World Citizen card and had 1000 of them printed. He was about to be kicked out of France when he learned that an upcoming U.N. General Assembly session in Paris would take place on a site temporarily designated “international territory.” A week before it was scheduled to begin he simply began camping out there, fully aware that some 7000 journalists were expected to cover the event. “I intended to issue each delegate a

World Citizen card,” Davis explains. “I let the press know my plans. The newsreel cameras came. I was holding press confer ences every 10 minutes. People heard about it and began to write to me. I got 20,000 letters. All the focus of the world was on that spot, and I was at dead center.” O n the sixth day, police wagons arrived. Davis was taken into custody and released, but he returned to find the U.N. gathering barricaded. Undaunted, he decided to stay in Paris in order to infil trate the meeting before it adjourned in early December. His novel ideas attracted many leading French intellectuals, including existential ist author Albert Camus. Together, they spent months strategizing how to disrupt the U.N. session. Davis and Camus creat ed The Oran Declaration — named after

On a roll, the conspiratbrs discusse< their next move. “We had communists; anti-Communists, union leaders, bank< and peace organizers on our council,” Davis says. “These were people usually fighting like cats and dogs but, here th< all were, supporting me.”

otential deity aside, Davis never seems to tire of standing on a proverbial soapbox. He’s just selfeffacing enough to laugh when acknowl edging that anyone who asks him a simple question is likely to get a discourse on the history of humankind. The International Registry of World Citizens, as his fledgling organization was christened in 1948, handed out identity cards by the thousands to European war refugees yyho, unlike Davis, were not stateless by choice. Harper’s magazine later editorial about the Paris t: “Six months ago, young Davis was a pathetic and somewhat absurd fig ure, staging a one-man sit-down strike on the doorstep of the U.N. Assembly,” the magazine suggested, adding that his stand ing had improved after luminaries such as Albert Einstein, Richard Wright and JeanPaul Sartre offered their support. In December 1949, Davis was still determined to make a beeline for Berlin. He got as far as Strasbourg, where a bridge across the Rhine River separates France and Germany. W hen guards prevented him from going any further, he began a vigil on the borderline that lasted for two months. T hat’s also where he met the woman who would later become his second wife. At Strasbourg, the 17-year-old Esther Peter brought him food every night. “On Sundays, huge crowds gathered. Some people came all the way from Israel to find out if I was the new messiah. They were very disappointed.” To make his bridge residency more comfortable, local architects built him a cozy little cottage, which eventually burned down. Davis remained in the region to begin writing the first install ment of his autobiography, My Country is the World. In May 1950, he set sail for the United States to think about the future — and to meet Audrey Peters, a woman with whom he had corresponded ever since mutual friends “introduced” them sight unseen. They married and moved to Haiti, then came back to New York after six months; A baby daughter was born in 1951, but the marriage was in trouble. By then, Davis had already hooked up with Nataraja, a guru from south India who told him, “I teach wisdom.” The nor mally skeptical Davis was fascinated by Nataraja’s philosophy. “He spoke with the

They announced a rally that drew about 17,000 people. Davis read a letter from the General Assembly’s presi dent. “It said that the U.N. was not set up to make peace, only to maintain peace once it was crafted by the great world powers.” There it was in black and white. Peace would never be a priority because “every nation-state was and still is a war machine,” says Davis. Yet, the proponents of world govern ment failed to seize the day. “This meeting was one of the big events of 1949 but nobody knew what to do next. We missed a tremendous opportunity, he laments.

He got as far as England, where he wound up in a psychi atric hospital for trying to see Queen Elizabeth in person. “The situation threw me into the world spotlight again,” he says. Released after a few days, he con structed a makeshift hut at Buckingham Palace. The police hauled him off to Brixton prison before summarily shipping him back to New York. There, a lawyer advised Davis: “You’ll be treated like a sack of meal for the rest of your life if you don’t have a government. Make your own passports.” Eureka! It was the summer of 1953 when Davis declared him self the World Government while staying at his parents’ Maine vacation home. “In 1787, the whole U.S. government was only 55 guys sitting around a table,” he now says of the Founding Fathers, while looking out the window of his “World Govern ment House” in Vermont. “Why not me? Why not you?” To resolve that dilemma 48 years ago, the young firebrand printed 1000 World Passports and left for Bombay, wearing a modified Pakistani Air Force uni form he’d purchased to look more imposing at border cross ings. After studying with his guru, he intended to prove the passport could take him any where. Broke, Davis set out walking, sage-like, across India. In the Punjab, nails began pok ing through his shoes and a sym pathetic stranger brought him to a cobbler. There Davis sold some passports, allowing him to con tinue by bus — until he came down with malaria. / Fasten your seatbelts: 1956 was one bumpy ride. When Davis arrived in Afghanistan, a diplomat drove him over the rugged Khyber Pass into Kabul. Then it was on to Iran, where he flashed the World Passport to no avail. He asked for asylum at the Egyptian Embassy, but Teheran authorities deported him to Saudi Arabia. Reluctantly taken from there to the Netherlands, he languished in a Dutch jail

an inflatable rubber boat across the Mediterranean to Italy, but the Naples police picked him up and imprisoned him in Frascati, a walled concentration camp. There he handed out passports to desperate detainees who lacked identification papers. After three months he was deported, arriving in the U.S. with seven visas attached to his World Passport. Davis felt tri umphant.

ack at home, though, doors were closing. Work as an actor eluded him when World Citizen renown proved to be a liability. “I was anathema to Broadway. Nobody would touch me,” he explains. Instead, he finished writing My Country is the World. Pub lished by Putnam in I960, it met with little fanfare. Fate inter vened again when Davis received a call from Esther Peter, who had been partially paralyzed by falling from a tree. “I dropped every thing and left to take care of her in Switzerland.” The couple returned to Strasbourg when she had fully recovered, and proceeded to have three children together. Davis started a diaper service because there were none in the area, then went into business selling water purification systems. For almost a decade, he was just a hard working family man with a funny passport. In 1971, his true calling beckoned again when Davis met aliens from North Africa with no identity papers. After reprinting the illicit passports, the reincar nation of his world-citizenship career thrived — until the French police raided. Several arrests and trials later, his person al life came to an impasse. Feeling neglected, Esther said she resented that he was writing let ters to refugees when the garden needed hoeing. " A 1975 divorce coincided with imminent eviction by the French government. In his umpteenth return to the U.S.,

Davis set up a World Service Authority office in D.C. In 1982 he lost a Supreme Court case to reverse his “excludable alien” status; in ’86 he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of the nations capital. Less than a year later Davis announced his candidacy for U.S. president during a speaking engagement at Middlebury College. He settled for moving to Vermont when Ronald Reagan was re-elected. Burlington activist Robin Lloyd accompanied him to Germany to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989; their relationship became

about the European Union, those countries are quickly re-establish ing national borders because of the foot-and-mouth epidemic. The spread of disease, terrorism, intolerable cultural practices — it’s essential for a country to wel come and assimilate people in a sane way. W ithout regulated bor ders, it would bubble over uncontrollably.” Conflicts, Ray adds, “come from the heart, not from the bor der.” With his own heart forever devoted to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Davis keeps restlessness at bay with “World Government One,” a single-engine, 1963 Navion Range Master plane that he pilots around North America. “I always wanted my own air force,” he muses. “A peace air force.” While on the ground, Davis relies on his fax machine, e-mail • and Web site in the ongoing quest to rescue the undocumented. In his unrelenting obsession with world citizenship, however, Davis was out of the loop for the Beat generation, the birth of rock ’n’ roll, the civil-rights struggle, the first giant step on the moon, the hippies, the Vietnam War — col lective experiences that shaped the last half of the American 20th century. Does he have any regrets? “TV was new in 1947 and someone I knew asked me to be an emcee on a variety program,” he says thoughtfully. “I was there at the beginning of television. The guy went on to become a top CBS executive and I’m poor, barely paying my mortgage, still an excludable alien. So, if I have any regrets, I guess it would be that I didn’t stay with show busi ness. But I have a profound belief that this is what I should be doing. It justifies my being alive.” ® U b t . u J u y ’i

In 1992, from his booth at the interna tional Earth Summit in Brazil, Davis worked the Rio crowds with the aplomb of a carnival barker. Yet for all of his single-mind ed intensity, the world is still plagued by wars. “I should be cloned. There should be 40 of me doing this work. I haven’t accomplished anything in terms of resolving the situation. I know the answer b u t...,” he stops mid sentence, his face saddened by the enormity of it all. Davis has to take comfort in small victories. David Gallup, an attorney who heads the World Service Authority office in D.C., refers to the case of an Iranian man seeking asylum in Canada. “They would not recognize him or let him travel,” according to Gallup. “Finally, we got him to Costa Rica, but not his family. Were trying to find a place they can all be together. I think the passport made a difference; the Canadians allowed him to leave.” Other tales are more grim. “We get between 20,000 and 50,000 letters a year,” Gallup says. “Even if the final outcome is not successful, people feel as if they’ve regained their human dignity because we give them hope. The U.N. says there are 53 million refugees. We have a track record of helping them.” In addition to passports, the organization issues birth and marriage certificates. “Six hun dred million children were born without them,” Davis points out. “Yet without a birth certificate, you’re a nobody.” The cost of a passport ranges horn $45 to $100, depending on the expiration date.

It’s a bad sign when we start stealing things we are not quite sure we really want: Right now state police are looking for an older-model black-and-silver Ford truck that was spotted pushing a portable toilet down Route 111 in Morgan. The potty belongs to Taplin’s of Derby, and has been perform ing a public service at a local fishing access. Trout season will someday reopen, and they want it back. In what we fervently hope is an unrelated inci dent, a black-and-gray miniature poodle was stolen, along with some jewelry, in nearby Barton. The poodle answers to “Demmie” and was last seen wearing a pink collar and a black-and-red checkered coat. — The Barton Chronicle, March 14 & 21

Winning Words Limericks are the Cheetos of the literary world — once you start writing them, it’s difficult to stop. A recent poetry contest proves this in spades: O ut of dozens of entries there is a clear victor in the 13-to14-year-old category from Nicole Morse of Weybridge, who displays a wonderful grasp of the freeze-thaw cycle. In Vermont there’s a creek called the Otter Which isfrozen until it is hotter. Then it generally goes, Down the hill as it flows, That’s the commonest action o f water. — Addison Independent, March 15

Calling It Quits

Vermont. When consulted, Secretary of State Deb Markowitz made a virtue of the obvious by wonder ing aloud, “Why don’t you ask Helen?” They did, and she doesn’t care. “Call me whatev er you want,” Beckerhoff said amiably. “The impor tant thing is that I’m on the board.” The final edito rial call on this issue is that she will be a selectwoman most of the time, except when the rather long word won’t fit in a headline; then she’ll be a selectman. “And,” the editor clarifies, “we’ll call her Helen when we meet her on the street.” — Stowe Reporter, March 15

The Small Print Vermont’s headlines have turned curiously pedestrian lately, but photo captions are getting wild. Found under a picture of a smiling man hold ing an object that might have been designed by Dr. Seuss: “Terry Prue, the owner of Glass Medics in Newport, holds an object that he picked up at a yard sale a few years ago for 25 cents. Ever since then he has been trying to figure out what it is. He hasn’t had any luck. Many people have taken guess es, Mr. Prue said, but he hasn’t found anybody who has been able to give him a firm answer.” The object in question looks like a doubtful union between a clarinet and a hedge trimmer, gussied up with nozzles and dials. Some people think it’s some type of homemade musical instru ment, while others have Speculated that it might be a farm implement, such as some type of sprayer. If anybody has any idea what it is or would like to study it closer, Mr. Prue can be reached at his busi ness at 344-1461, or the object can be seen at his business on Derby Road. — The Barton Chronicle, March 21

Town meeting is history, but Walden is having trouble retaining some of its elected officials. At a recent emergency meeting of the select board, Joanne Foster quit after serving as town clerk since 1987, and Sylvia Richard, lister, also announced her resignation. Lorraine Cochran then took the floor to defend herself against “many rampant rumors,” and was followed by Aaron Cochran, second constable, who enumerated the many miles and hours he has devoted to the municipal cause. He then asked for an apology from Foster, though it’s not clear what for. She gave it, but he turned his badge in anyway. In short, everyone seems to be unusually grumpy with every one else on the Walden select board. Replacements have been named, but only time will tell if the ' appointments are going to stick. — Hardwick Gazette, March 14

The Montshire Museum in Norwich will hold its fourth annual “Egg Drop” on Saturday. The event encourages participants to send raw chicken eggs plummeting off the sec ond-floor balcony onto the atri um floor below, and the winner, if that is the right word, is the person who can build a contain er so the egg won’t break. The folks at the Montshire will tell you this is all very edu cational and has something to do with physics, but the truth is that it has been a long, hard winter and we need something naughty to do. The museum staff provides the cackleberries and then cleans up the mess — call it a j) rr eggstra errort. — Bradford fournal Opinion, March 21

What’s in a Name?

Mr. Thunderbird

Thirty years have passed since a woman served on the Stowe Select Board, which has caused titular problems for newly elected Helen Beckerhoff. Will the local paper refer to her as selectman, selectwoman, selectperson or selector? Inquiries revealed that there is no consensus on how to handle the title in a gender-neutral way: The Rutland Herald uses “selectwoman” for females, while the Brattleboro Reformer uses “selectman” to designate officials of either gender. In Massachusetts, “selectman” is an official title, enshrined in state law, but there is no similar fiat in

High school student Matt Lasher took the 2001 Mr. Thunderbird title in Swanton not long ago. For this annual event the all-male contestants put on a fashion show, a formal-wear show and a dance com petition; they also offer up a talent show and “beach scene,” which is probably a nice way of saying the guys are scantily clad. This must be one of those gender equity things, but certain questions linger. The name, for instance. Does the Thunderbird title mean he gets to ride on one and wave in the Memorial Day parade? — Franklin County Courier, March 8

B y R uth H orow itz delaide Murphy Tyrol has an eye for things most people never notice. When the Plainfield artist isn’t painting room-sized backdrops designed to disappear behind larger-thanlife subjects such as Bruce Springsteen or the Dalai Lama, she’s rendering anatomically cor rect images of obscure insects, many of which can only be seen through a high-powered micro scope. Tyrol pursues her split screen passions in a two-story studio beside the house she shares with her husband, Brian Tyrol, and their two children on 20-plus sweeping acres on Hollister Hill. The silent, wide-open setting seems a long way from the slick, cosmopolitan world of Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark and

the other top-name photogra phers who commission Tyrol’s backdrops. It’s also a far cry from the extreme close-ups of biologi cal subjects — bugs, birds and other organisms — she shows at the Richardson-Clarke Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston, at the Fairbanks Museum and, last summer, at the Vermont Supreme Court. The day I visit her, the sky is a relentless, nearly cloudless blue, and the unbroken expanse vAT between the studio and the dis tant mountains is a clean canvas of wind-swept snow. Tyrol, 46, wears black stretch pants and an oversized man’s shirt, both gener ously smeared with paint. A pair of clogs allows her to step into her stocking feet so she can walk with impunity across the enor mous canvas stretched over the downstairs floor. Rock ’n’ roll

blares from a boom box. A swing hangs from the ceiling — inducement for Tyrol’s kids, now 7 and 11, to keep out of trouble while Mom is working. Gallon sized paint cans, with a rainbow of wooden paddles poking out of their tops, line a floor that’s as busy as a Jackson Pollock canvas — a testament to its long service as the artist’s palette. 1" Tyrol set up her Plainfield studio 13 years ago. The daugh ter of a Holyoke, Massachusetts, newspaper family, she studied English and art at the University of Vermont, then moved to New York for courses in illustration at the Parsons School of Design and in fine arts at the Art Students League. In 1980, she began working for Sarah Oliphant, a theater artist who had opened a backdrop-painting business two years earlier. It didn’t take Tyrol

An accomplished backdrop painter combines big shots and bug shots long to graduate from washing buckets at Oliphant Studios to becoming a full partner in the company. Besides creating backdrops for sale, Oliphant offers clients the more affordable option of renting ready-to-hang images from the studio’s enormous inventory. The company cata logue features a seemingly limit less variety of skies — stormy, blue, 1 rainbow, daytime, nighttime, surrealis tic or “airplane” — as well as landscapes, snowscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, interiors, abstract mottled surfaces and grada tions. There are also take-offs on famous artists, from Vincent Van Gogh to Maxfield Parrish, and — for a recent Rolling Stone cover of Jennifer Lopez — fantasy artist Frank Franzetta. Though most of Oliphants oeuvre appears in maga zines, the studios work has also adorned fashion runways, been used

on TV shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “The Chris Rock Show,” and become perma nent installations at locations including the FAO Schwartz toy store in Manhattan and JFK Airport. At JFK, Tyrol and two other artists airbrushed 14,000 feet of sky inside the

International Arrivals Building. The job took 10 days,-from 11 at night until six in the morning; the work surface was so enor mous that the painters could hardly see one another. “We should have had roller skates,” Tyrol quips.

delaide Murphy Tyrol moved to Plainfield after marrying a Vermonter, Brian Tyrol. Their courtship took place over a batch of ball-andclaw bathtubs. He was working for Great American Salvage, which ran a New York City showroom next door to Oliphant. She was hired to paint skies and underwater scenes on the sides of the tubs. “It didn’t go anywhere, except that we got married,” Tyrol says of the paint ed tub venture. Today, Brian heads CadCut, a Montpelier company specializing in comput er-assisted slicing of aerospace ‘ and medical parts; Adelaide maintains Oliphant Studio’s Web site, designs its catalogue, prices jobs and paints her share of back drops. Here in Vermont, Tyrol has produced a number of stage backdrops for the Unadilla Theatre in Calais. Her handi work can also be seen on the walls and ceilings of several local restaurants and stores, and in the Twinfield Union Schools. Several years ago, she painted an entire wing of the Union elementary schools. This year, Tyrol created a deep-sea mural in the high school, complete with sea turtles, giant jellyfish, octopus and underwater plants. Though her formal training is in small-format drawing, Tyrol found that the switch to painting on a massive canvas wasn’t such a, well, stretch. Doing big art, she says, just requires enough space and “a certain kind of bravado.” When she paints a backdrop, Tyrol begins by laying the canvas across the studio floor. Then she treats its surface with gesso sizing, first pouring it on with a watering can and then spreading it around with a push broom. After the gesso dries, she “cartoons out” her image, using a fat stick of charcoal taped to the end of a bamboo pole. “You have to stand back and squint,” she explains. “It’s almost as if your shoulder is your wrist.” When she needs to erase a mistake, Tyrol simply beats at the canvas with a rag, and the char coal lifts right off. Next, she deploys a compressor air gun with 40 pounds of pressure to lay down her base colors. Details are quickly filled in with a two-inch brush taped to another bamboo pole. Tyrol uses water-based acrylics, which dry quickly and remain elastic, allowing her to easily roll the completed canvas around a carpet tube, slide it into a plastic sewer pipe and ship it

off to the client. “This is really old-fashioned, painting on can vas,” Tyrol comments. This fact came home to Oliphant in the mid-1990s, when digitized graphics took a big bite out of the backdrop

ing in a five-person studio in the heart of Manhattan’s photogra phy district to the relentless peace and quiet of rural Vermont. “I went from being part of a team working together to echoing pine trees,” she

“Spider-eating Wasp,” by Adelaide Murphy Tyrol business. Why hire someone to paint fa u x foliage when you can simulate the rainforest from the comfort of your own computer? For a few bad years, Tyrol says, “Everyone was a designer. It real ly showed on magazine covers. I think they looked really shitty.” Though most up-and-coming photographers still use PhotoShop and other software to marry images, she’s relieved to note that the trend is beginning

muses. To combat the loneliness of the long-distance artist, Tyrol hosts a weekly drawing group at her studio. And she periodically escapes the solitude of her isolat ed studio to sketch specimens on location. Two years ago, she explored the stuffed-bird collec tion at the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. These days, she spends a couple mornings a month at the Forest Biology Lab

“ Once you start seeing what you can see through 1

the m icroscope, it’s prett \ hard to go back to the

m agnifying glass.” Adelaide M urphy Tyro to reverse itself, with top-of-theline photographers like Annie Leibowitz and Michael O ’Neill continuing to work with painters. Meanwhile, Oliphant has hedged its marketing bets by taking on more architectural jobs, such as the one at JFK. While her company has had to adapt to technological change, Tyrol has also been forced to adjust from the gregarious, cof fee-swilling excitement of work

in Waterbury, visiting and draw ing bugs in the custody of state entomologist Trish Hanson. Tyrol met Hanson through natural history'illustration, a sideline the artist has been pursu ing since 1976. Though she has little formal training in science, Tyrol has always been interested in plants and animals,' she says. To date, her work has appeared in 15 to 20 books, and has graced numerous magazine arti-

m arch'28,'20O 1

cles. When Northern Woodlands magazine asked her to illustrate a terpentine beetle and Tyrol couldn’t find the creature in any of her field guides, a friend steered her to Hanson, who’d just written a paper on the species. In addition to terpentine beetles, the enthusiastic ento mologist invited Tyrol to check out other species, and encour aged her to take a closer look through the lab’s high-powered microscope. The artist has been bug-eyed ever since. “Once you start seeing what you can see through the microscope,” she observes, “it’s pretty hard to go back to the magnifying glass.” Hanson “just opened up a world for me,” she adds. “It’s a world I was always interested in, but she’s given me the guts to go in a little further.” When she browses through the drawers full of specimens in Hanson’s lab, Tyrol doesn’t care much about the insects’ origins or their interaction with the environment. She only has eyes for the aesthetic appeal of the bugs’ little six-legged bodies. It might be the spreading wings of a wasp that catch her attention, or a bend in a stick-bug’s leg. She turns her sketches into paintings in the upstairs portion of her studio. Here, the sound track is quiet and classical. Shelves are lined with art books, field guides and National Geographies. A dish holds a handful of stones and a single seashell. A large bone sits on one surface, a stuffed quail on another, and a pile of insect specimens on a third. A pair of binoculars waits on the window sill beside the drawing table. Tyrol’s paintings lovingly portray the often off-putting minutia of entomological anatomy, down to the eight eyes on the face of a furry spider and the m itten shaped doodads on a gold bug’s antennae. But her images, usually just a little larger than your average picture book, are neither fussy nor stiff. Muscular, expressive and rendered in deep, lusty col ors, her bugs seem to dare you to swat them. Since she began with Oliphant, Tyrol’s bug back grounds have evolved from relatively flat planes to solid-seeming spaces that catch the viewer’s eye with their corrosive surfaces — an effect she achieves by combin ing water-based gouache with oil-stick crayons. “They don’t like each other,” she explains. “So it creates this friction.” Balancing the large-scale dash of big commercial backdrops and close-ups of tiny species, howev er, doesn’t create any similar fric-tion for Tyrol as an artist. “They’re not as disparate as they seem,” she says. “These things that seem so opposite create a whole life for me, somehow.” ®

ost girls leave their Barbie dolls behind, abandoning them along with other childish things when adolescence beckons. Some of us reject Barbie when, with nascent feminist, outrage, we finally become aware of the impossible physical ideal she represents. Even now, after the proliferation of professional outfits and ethnic skin tones for the doll, nobody is fooled. Somewhere along the way of adulthood, Sarah Strohmeyer decided to keep on “playing Barbies” — you might even say she’s on a mission. But her goal is a lot more substantive, and fun, than simply wooing Ken. A Montpelier freelance jour nalist and mother of two, Strohmeyer committed her first Barbie project to paper in 1997 with the nonfiction Barbie Unbound: A Parody o f the Barbie Obsession. The book imagines the shapely plastic doll in a variety of unorthodox roles. Now comes Bubbles Unbound, in which Strohmeyer, 38, has created a real, live, work ing-class reporter and sleuth with serious Barbie-esque qualities: She’s tall, curvaceous, bottleblond and stylish in that Erin Brockovich way — that is, with a l^genchant for cleavage-revealing tube tops, hot pants, high heels and Anything Spandex. At 34, Bubbles is a Polish-Gertnan'A|fi<|jican divorced hairdresser hi Lehigh, Pennsylvania — a steel town | j | with a smart, punky 15year-old daughter named Jane, whose own style boasts piercings ; aihimiulti-hued hair courtesy of Kool-Aid.

sense of humor and a heart of gold. But there’s just one little problem: She’s not the brightest bleach in the bottle. Bubbles has flunked just about every course there is at the local “department store community college” in her ongoing efforts to improve her-

She’s tall, curvaceous, bottle-blond and stylish in that Erin Brockovich way — hat is, with a penchant for cleavage-revealing tube tops, hot pants, high heels nd anything Spandex. self. Finally, something clicks: journalism. And that’s because Bubbles has perfected more than hair, makeup and nails at Sandy’s House of Beauty: I eventually found out what journalism was, and I ’m pleased to say I was a natural. Because when you combine all that asking, snoop ing, investigating, not to mention the who, what, where, when and why stu ff that reporting requires, it comes down to one word. Gossip. A nd gossip is how a neighbor hood hairdresser like me earns her bread and butter. After years and years in the beauty biz, my sympa-

sing with her new boyfriend’s band, she’d told Bubbles. The next day, she was dead, and not from the coloring job. Though her death was ruled a suicide — a drug overdose — Bubbles was convinced she was murdered.; Some 10 years later, where the book’s story begins, she gets a ft,. chance to prove it. In the rollicking escapades ,, that follow, Bubbles Yablonsky sticks to her asking and snooping even after the local steel-mill - ( owner — an oily despot who rules the town and nearly every one in it — responds to her very first story with a lawsuit for libel.

Bubbles Unbound, by Sarah Strohmeyer. Dutton, 275 pages. $22.95.

B u b b les U nbound\ an excerpt fter dinner, Sandy drove Jane to work at the ice cream shop in my Camaro. I sat at the kitchen table by the window enjoying the cool breeze on my neck while Mama cleaned up and Genevieve spread a fresh layer of dried peas on the kitchen floor. A real stiff wind was picking up, wafting the sulphur smell from the steel plant across town. Genevieve said we were in for quite a storm, what with the intense heat and the way the leaves on the trees were blowing inside out now. “I wouldn’t be surprised if I lose power out my way,” she said. “We always do in that kind of weather, don’t we, LuLu?” . “We do,” Mama agreed. “The power lines to that high-rise are made out of dental floss, they’re so flimsy.” “Mind if I bunk here?” Genevieve asked. That power excuse was convenient, but Genevieve wasn’t fooling me. Here she was a card-carrying, lifelong conspiracy nut, and for the first time in her seventy years she had a real, live conspiracy to work with. Murder. Shootings. Missing editors. Missing dead rock star impersonators. Dangerous eyeliner. Genevieve was in hog heaven. Plus, Mama was happy to have her around. My eyes began to hurt, as Donna had forewarned, right after nightfall. Genevieve brewed me a eucalyptus potion. I drank it and popped a few painkillers from the hospital, sat back in the BarcaLounger and felt my brain spin as I listened to Wheel o f Fortune. “Uhm, Genevieve,” I mumbled sleepily, “there wasn’t any alco hol in that drink, was there?” “Nah,” she said. “A tablespoon of Vladisk, for medicinal pur poses.” I groaned. Vladisk is a Slovakian brandy that could clean rust from pots. One tablespoon o f Vladisk on a full stomach without painkillers would be enough to plaster an elephant. At one point, I heard Mama say to Genevieve, “Help me get her upstairs,” and the next thing I knew two old ladies were rip ping Doris’s tennis outfit off me, pulling a nightgown over my head and brushing my teeth. Then they were gone. I lay in bed, the breeze from the approaching storm blowing over my body. I didn’t know if it was eight o’clock or midnight. Light or dark. I faindy heard the mumbling of the TV downstairs and then Genevieve and Mama talking quietly. Car horns beeped outside. When I woke up again it was to the sound o f loud thunder clap. Rain was pouring down in buckets outside my half-open window. The TV was off. Mama and Genevieve were asleep. But I was not alone in my room.

Her determination to find out who killed Laura Buchman puts Bubbles in harm’s way more than once, not to mention in humor’s — and love’s. With a breezy, snappy writing style that never lags, Strohmeyer manages to build suspense even while cracking jokes and develop ing a romance between Bubbles and a handsome AP photogra pher named Steve Stiletto. You know Bubbles will survive in the end — after all, she’s ostensibly

written the book in first person. But you can’t help worrying a lit tle when she’s hanging off the side of a bridge with a wannabe suicide who turns out to be her old math teacher; is nearly suffo cated by one of the steel mag nate’s thugs; is staring down the business end of a revolver; or is temporarily blinded after she’s slipped a nasty eyeliner contain ing an ingredient that sets off one o f her several allergies. Strohmeyer’s real gift is in

vibrant details. A steel-country native herself, she paints the habitat and the story’s other characters with a knowing eye and ear. Bubbles’ mother LuLu is not just a standard-issue EasternEuropean babushka; she’s fourfoot-five-inches of Pug-like scrappiness and smirky one-lin ers who “borrows” dresses from the store and spreads dried peas across her kitchen floor for a security system. Lulu’s best friend Genevieve is built like a

tank, barks orders like Janet Reno, and is a conspiracy theo rist o f the finest order. The schlumpy policeman who moons faithfully but hopelessly over Bubbles is a hapless single parent of five, and demonstrates the true courage o f friendship. Her ex-husband, whom she calls “Dan the Man,” is a social climbing sleazebag who left her for a wealthy woman — the heiress o f a Cheetos-like snack food empire — after Bubbles

shampooed him through law school. Only Bubbles’ love interest, Stiletto, is drawn with a somewhat broader, gothic-romance brush: The door to the House o f Beauty slammed behind me and I stopped still. A tanned man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties sat in the driver’s side o f a black Jeep, top down, with white New York State license plates. His brown hair was longish, but not too long, and his tanned face was creased in all the right places, like he ju st fin ished a tough day in the sun round ing up cattle on a ranch. I couldn’t tell what color his eyes were because they were masked by a pair o f very dark, very expensive Ray-bans. Sandy’s warning to keep my knees locked suddenly seemed inad equate. What I needed was a dead bolt. Preferably one without a key. Despite Bubbles’ drooling over this hunk, it’s the revelation o f his true identity — and her unexpected response to his ardor — that gives the book its real surprises near the end. If Bubbles Unbound sounds a little girlie, it is. A few end-ofchapter beauty recipes — “Jane’s Hair Dye,” “Ten Steps to a Bubbles Deluxe” (facial), “Tiffany’s Avocado and Mayonnaise Hair Repair” — are over-the-top details only women and drag queens could appreci ate, and don’t do much to advance the story. Strohmeyer wisely drops this conceit once the plot thickens, however — as Bubbles is pulled deeper into the drama of a murder investigation and away from the security of her cut-and-color micro-universe. The daughter o f a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Strohmeyer does credit to her own reporting background — she’s written for Vermont and national publications — in her first work o f fiction. And with Bubbles Yablonksy, she’s created a most likeable, if unlikely, hero ine. Though it’s hard to imagine how she could top herself, , Strohmeyer is at work on the next episode. And for fans of contemporary mysteries with quirky female sleuths, that surely sounds even better than a Bubbles Deluxe. ®

What the

Deck? Snow “junkies” try out a new toy from Burton ers and a mini-snowboard — or subdeck, as the engineers like to call it. Burton designed the snowdeck to be ridden exactly like a skateboard, with no bind ings and a smooth subdeck base to take the place of wheels. Riders can v/ear sneakers or riding boots to maneuver the junkyard. It comes with a leash. The company dubbed their new contraption the “Junkyard 86” because it features the popu lar old-school Performa graphic from the 1986 snowboard. It also measures 86 centimeters in length. The graphic — a very ’80s stripe pattern and mountaintop logo — is symbolic of a con nection to snowboardings roots in skateboarding, and the first days of riding on snow.

By Jeremy Kent he 19th annual U.S. Open for snowboarding at Stratton Mountain last week literally blew the lid off my tape recorder. Watching the worlds best riders and the glitzy television coverage had nothing to do with it. W hat got my gizmo unhinged was an encounter with the “Junkyard.” While competitors practiced on the Superpipe half-way up the hill and crowds milled about the assorted tents looking for free stuff, I joined droves of snow board enthusiasts at a fenced-off area to check out a new way to get downhill fast — the latest thing in the ever-evolving world of snowboarding.

snowboarders become skaters,” touted Burtons PR Coordinator Scott Rivers in a January announcement that launched the snowdeck category. In addition to blurring the lines between skating and riding, the Junkyard can stretch the season, with sessions from the first fall flakes to the last of spring slush. All you need is enough snow to slip on. At the U.S. Open, the Junkyard Jib Park was filled with kids scrambling to take a turn on a handful of demo prototypes. Not alone in the industry, or in the park today, the Junkyard is joined by a Snowskate, made by Premiere. The snowskate is differ ent in design and materials but has the same purpose. The Premiere consists of a simple plas-

Making and selling the snowdeck, nevertheless, might seem risky for a company that has dominated the boarding industry since its beginning. Why take a chance on something that might just turn out to be a gim mick? Well, you can’t predict the future, suggested Burton Team Assistant Carter Olcott. “When Jake [Carpenter, founder of Burton] made the first snow board, he never thought it was going to get this big,” he added. In a postOpen chat at ^ the Prototype Shop in the Burlington factory, Rivers and Vince LaVecchia, Burton’s Team and Promotions Coordinator, talked about the Junk yard’s R&D, engineering and recess at work. “Team rider Jeff Anderson had the idea, we built a prototype, took it to a photo shoot and it was a hit,” explained LaVecchia. That was in September 2000. A lew months later, employees got a Christmas bonus packaged in a long box. “The first thing Jake did was make 500 and give them to the employees,” LaVecchia said of the snowdeck’s debut within the com pany. Immediately, the Burton office emptied out into the park ing lot for a demo session. “It was cool, because every trick landed was the first one ever tried on the snowdeck,” recalled Rivers. “It gives you that initial rush of accomplishment.” Professional riding has

become increasingly competitive, complicated and highly skilled. As M TV cameraman Tom Byrnes put it at the Open, “Nowadays, if you don’t go inverted [doing flips on a snowboard], nobody wants to see it.” But a new toy like the Junkyard snowdeck could renew the sport’s fun and simplicity. Burton considers it just that at this point — a toy — even though the Junkyard is a product of serious research and development. So far, there are no plans to make a snowdeck team or sched ule competi tions. But who knows? Though pro riders perform feats of freak ish coordina tion with existing tech nology, the best might be yet to come. Snow boarding remains a rela tively expen sive sport. The Junkyard could help level the play ing field — it costs about the same as a skateboard and can be ridden almost anywhere. “One of our goals is to bring snowboarding to a more urban landscape,” con firmed LaVecchia. And even at this early stage — before the Junkyard is official ly released to the public — a number of resorts are looking into building parks for the snowdecks, according to Rivers. Enthusiasm for the Junkyard at the U.S. Open might prove an omen for its success. Mark my words: Soon will come a kid, maybe from the fields of Nebraska, maybe off the streets of Brooklyn, working on tricks that don’t even exist yet. ©

COWBOY MOUTH

THE END IS NEAR The Unknown Blues Band is finally calling it a wrap. Far from an unknown quantity in these parts, the quintet with saxophon ist/singer Big Joe Burrell at its center, keyboardist Chuck Eller, guitarist Paul Asbell, bassist Tony Markellis and sev eral drummers over the years, has been a rollicking favorite with dancers at clubs, festivals and weddings for a cou ple of decades. It was an extraordinary run, but the break-up — which will come at the end of this summer — is happening for an ordinary reason: The members are just too damn busy. Eller is stretched particularly thin these days. For one thing, his Charlotte studio is booked at all times — a cur rent project is with singer-songwriter Elisabeth von Trapp, who has written music to Robert Frost poems. For another, he’s planning to launch a jazz label, beginning with a couple of James Harvey releases — older work with the H-Mob and newer stuff with John Rivers and Gabe Jarrett. Not least, Eller’s become the main man at die Phish Barn — a studio still under construction that has already hosted several band projects, including the latest recording from Smokin’ Grass. “Right now I’m wiring the barn,” says Eller, who could really use a clone about now. “It’s all torn apart.” Things should be together by the time Trey Anastasio returns home with a still-hush-hush project. The Phish guitarist’s latest touring ensemble — which has a mostly-rave review for a show at Manhattan’s Roseland in the

current Rolling Stone — includes Markellis. The Albany-based bass man’s presence on Anastasio side projects keeps him away from UBB stomping grounds. For his part, Asbell maintains a reg ular playing schedule in various config urations, and has found another niche performing at trade conventions — “He’s the pro that plays the guitar,” Eller explains. And Big Joe? The guy deserves to take a break, with full emeritus status, but Eller assures he’s going to do a live jazz record with the beloved sax man in a couple of months. So, in short, get your Unknown before they come undone. Soon to be seen at a location near you.

SOUND PROOF In other studio news, Peter Engisch was thrilled to find a two-page profile on his five-year-old studio, Ad Astra Recording, in the March issue of EQ magazine. Not surprisingly, the sound-geek publica tion focuses on all the gear — and the acoustics — offered in the Williston A-frame, as well as noting a dozen of the 200-some projects it’s produced. Not one to welcome idle ness, Engisch is also the energetic pianist in the jazz band Picture This — in the flesh dais Friday at the Windjammer and Saturday at Wine ' Works.

BREAKING OUT? It’s been nearly two years since he moved to Nashville for

his lucky break and, ever since, occa sional rumors about Jamie Lee Thurston signing to a major label have trickled northward. At last, it appears, the country music capital has shown itself willing to be taken by storm. “Things have escalated,” concedes the cautious native Vermonter. “I’m like the talk of the town.” He admits several labels are “more than interested.” Before Thurston hits the charts, though, you can see him with his Vermont band The Rattlers for two “farewell” shows this Friday and Saturday at the Rusty Nail. He’s got a new band down south — players with serious country connections. A con cert two months ago impressed label heavies, and another showcase is com ing up next Tuesday, which should be viewable, he says, at www.liveonthenet.com. “I’m moving closer to my big dream,” Thurston says.

GOOD COMPANIONS Congratulations are in order once again for central Vermont singer-songwriter Patti Casey, who is following up last year’s victory at the Kerrville Folk Festival with an appearance on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion.” The April 21st broadcast on National Public Radio is the “Talent from Towns Under Two Thousand” special — Casey lives in Duxbury, which easi ly qualifies with a population of 1299. “I am so psyched,” Casey says. “Having a kid was the big thing [Liam Martin Casey, born last August], but this is pretty big. I’m already nervous — but not terribly.” At least Casey will be in friendly company: O ut of 650 entries, another of the six finalists is also from Vermont, the celestial Sirens. The two-year-old early-music trio from Addison County sometimes includes honorary males and other members of the larger Early Music Vermont group. Case in point: Tenor Roger Grow will accompany Marybeth McCaffrey,

Deborah Farnham and Melissa Chesnut to Minneapolis. Keillor must have been charmed by the quaint jux taposition of the Siren’s demo (“Gloria in excelsis deo,” by 15th-century English composer Robert Cooper) and the enclosed picture of the singers eat ing on someone’s back porch.

DO GOOD DEPT. This Thursday, don’t forget the black-and-white ball for Fools’ Gold, a Burlington-based emer gency fund for artists and musicians. The Chrome Cowboys and Starline Rhythm Boys make it a whoop-ti-do at Club Metronome. Then put a few more bucks together Friday night to benefit WRUV. UVM’s original “real alterna tive” hosts local Irish jiggers The Croppies along with Brooklyn’s punk/Irish/hip-hop hybrid, Scott MX Turner & the Devil’s Advocates, at Marsh Dining Hall. Saturday night, benefit queen Tammy Fletcher belts it out with her Disciples at the Old Lantern, ro fill a few coffers for rhe Charlotte Children’s Center. SINGLE TRACKS This Thursday is Burlington-area fans’ first chance to see the newly formed — with guys! — Zola Turn. Fresh from SXSW, the for mer girl group plays Higher Ground with Chainsaws and Children and Delta Clutch . . . The Pyralisk Arts Center is not yet bricks-and-mortar, but that doesn’t mean it’s nowhere: The center presents the new JazzgraSS Trio — Patrick Ross, Doug Perkins and Dave Rodriguez — this Saturday at Montpelier’s Unitarian Church . . . New York Press declared James Kochalka’s short animation, “Monkey vs. robot’’ the unofficial best of the recent Spike & Mike’s Sick & Twisted Animation Festival in Manhattan . . . I'ickets go on sale Saturday for the newly renamed Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, which this year is head lined by the great Dave Brubeck. More on this later . . .

The “la-la-la” choruses in “Want You Out O f My Life” and “Love That I Found” are pretty good, too. Levinson also plays trumpet and lays down a nice bit in the beginning of “Tuesday Night.” The vocals are strong and confident and the overall production value of the disc is pretty good, though not super-polished. For such a young band, this is more than impressive, though Table 4-4 still have plenty of room to grow. I’m sure we’ll get the chance to hear more from them soon. — Colin Clary

The Blacklist

TAB LE 4 -4 (self-released, CD) — On their six-

song eponymous CD, Table 4-4 show promise, ambition and more cohesion than most high school rock bands out there. Given that three of the four band members are sophomores at Vergennes Union High School, this initial achievement is actually quite remarkable — Justin Levinson and pals have an early leg up and seem to be in it for the long haul. Musically, Table 4-4 are a tight unit and play up-tempo Sublime-esque pop, with a bit of a bratty edge. Singer and piano player Levinson is ably backed by Adam Popick on bass, Joe Gidden on drums and guitarist Zach Donohue. At age 14, Donohue is the groups youngest member and seems to know his way around the fret board. He also has a fair share of spacey guitar effects in his arsenal and is not shy about using them. At this point Table 4-4 is more mature musically than lyrically, churning out songs of rejection in the high school tradition. The cho rus of “You Don’t Care” is the highlight of the

D A N A R O B IN S O N , TH E TRADE (Threshold Music, CD) — What makes Dana Robinson stand out among singer-songwriters of both genders currently flooding the “folk music” marketplace is hard to pinpoint, but he is pleas antly different. One is immediately struck by Robinsons voice and phrasing, which sounds unnervingly like vintage Cat Stevens on many of his songs. Refreshingly, he tells stories about something other than himself, and that’s one of the reasons his music is more listenable than that of the average contemporary songsmith. The Trades, title is a play on the juxtaposi tion of the job of playing music professionally, and the emotional deals that happen between the performer and his audience, and well as with other people met while touring. Multi instrumentalist Robinson is accompanied taste fully by a*troupe of ace musicians, including dobro-legend-in-the-making Rob Ickes, with guest harmonies by Dar Williams and Robinsons regular stagemate Lui Collins, a fine songwriter and performer in her own right. The arrangements are fairly sparse, and you

get a definite feeling that no one is trying to hot dog here. The Trade includes a few “tradi tional” songs — meaning songs old enough that their rights are now in the public domain — and some Robinson originals, which sound like they should be old classics. This includes the title track as well as a catchy number called “Anderson Grade,” which sounds like a train song that could have been written by the Delmore Brothers about 50 years ago. The Trade is in fact a recording about the road, so much so that Robinson lists the location and dates of writing with each title. ‘It feels like a long ride with a good friend. Definitely a classy trip. On this CD Robinson thanks Burlington Coffeehouse figurehead and main man Jeff Miller, who has probably done more heartfelt promotion for up-and-coming singer-songwrit ers than anyone else in Vermont, and perhaps in New England. Robinson returns to the Coffeehouse Saturday, April 7. — Robert Resnik

Time for another round of everybody’s favorite filmrelated game. This week what we’d like you to do is pick out of the following storylines the ones we’ve taken from actual movies and the ones we’ve just plain made up. If they’re real, write “ Plot.” If they’re figments of our imagi nation, jot “ Not.” A stranger terrifies the citizens of a small village when he displays the power to kill people by shouting at them. 2 . A demented farmer strikes it rich when he markets a line of dried pork treats that have a secret ingredient: human flesh. 3. An archaeologist regrets his career choice when he discovers his daughter has become possessed by an Egyptian dem on.___ Havoc is wreaked by a monster with a horrifying head 4. and the body of a cleaning w om an.___ 5. In a scenic mountain town, a mad doctor kidnaps young tourists, does wacky scientific stuff to them and concocts a secret formula to keep the locals from get ting o ld .___ 6 . A Nazi war criminal hatches a plan to resurrect the ThircT Reich from his home in South America. 1.
