GOOD NIGHT, GEORGE

Donald R. Eggert Rev. Diane Sullivan Stefan Bumbeck

George W. Bush is the greatest political, ethical and moral disas ter this country has suffered since Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. The heritage of this man who by his own account suffers no sleepless nights will be fear and sleepless nights for my children and their children and for who knows how many generations to come. His gift to our generation is death to American, British and Iraqi men, women and children, the disso lution of our alliances, the undercutting of the United Nations and what will be the enduring enmity of mosL.of the rest of the world. For the crime of this war may it come to pass that he stare fearful and sleepless into the darkness of his rooms for the long night of his life.

people become our priority? This war is wrong. O ur unilateral invasion of Iraq, in direct contra diction of the United Nations Charter, is wrong. I am amazed by charges that criticism of this war and this administration are somehow unpatriotic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dissent in times of crisis is not only necessary, it is also a long and treasured part of our nations history. To assert the contrary belies fundamental ignorance of our heritage. Patriotism cannot be gained by complicity or silence. Apparently, in this new world order, money and hatred can buy democracy. This transaction seems to come easily to us as we accept numbing media censor ship and pledge blind allegiance. How many Iraqi children died today under the weight of your hard-earned tax dollars? Should we not ask who is profiting from this war? The world vision which the Bush administration foresees is one where corporate control is inextricably linked to militarism and violence. I reject that vision and the request for funding which accompanies it. I consider

it my patriotic duty to dissent and resist. I call on all compas sionate and patriotic citizens of this community to do the same: Support our troops and our democracy by demanding an immediate end to this unjust, illegal, immoral and insanely expensive war.

0N-THE-STREET SMARTS? I was excited when I saw your ad asking readers to comment on “W hats Broken in Burlington.” As the leader in local and statewide political reporting, I felt confident that Seven Days would collect a diverse, interest ing batch of responses. Boy, was I wrong. W hat I found instead, when I opened the March 19 issue, was a collection of comments from individuals who already have ample opportunity to share their opinions on these issues. Devel opers, community leaders, politi cians — sure, what these folks have to say is extremely relevant and valid. However, these people spend their lives publicly expressing their views on what works and what doesn’t in Burlington. In short, it’s old

Andrew Huff BURLINGTON

PROTESTORS PATRIOTIC I am a student at Plattsburgh State University. In response to your article “Upping the ‘A nti’”

[“Left Field,” March 19], I agree with the antiwar protests. For the past six months, I have watched dedicated Americans protest against the war in Iraq on the corner of North Catherine and Broad Street. I believe that this patriotic approach is in the best interest of our country. As a Lebanese-born native I have seen

what war can do to a country. I have watched war tear a country apart. These devoted individuals take the time out of their day to express their beliefs and concerns while exercising their freedom of speech, which is one of the many freedoms that our government is taking for granted. I believe it is more important to preserve the integrity of the United States by empowering individual citizens to express their values then initi ating war with Iraq.

for the world community is more destructive than any evil he claims to condemn. The disin genuous pretexts he proffers to justify his aggression and hege mony are calculated to distract the American public from his war on the environment, on our civil liberties, and on the consti tution itself. Those who have not been misled by his propaganda have an obligation to help restore democracy.

FREYNE TRANSMOGRIFIED IMPEACH BUSH George W. Bush is an illegitimate “president” perpetrating an ille gitimate war against a sovereign nation without just cause in vio lation of the U.N. charter. More over, his actions have already severely threatened international stability and undermined world wide unity while the terrorist atrocities committed by Osama Bin Laden and allegedly posed by Saddam Hussein served only to unite the global community. Bush’s squandering of the inter national empathy and good will which 9/11 engendered should, by itself, warrant his impeach ment. His arrogance and disdain

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

K or brunch entree (of equal or lesser

Clavelle Shoots for the Moon! little bit of history Monday night. For the seventh time, Peter Clavelle (born on Hospital Hill and raised a Winooski river rat), took the oath of office as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. That makes him the longest-serving mayor in Queen City his tory, surpassing Mayor J. Holmes Jackson, a Montreal native, who steered Burlap through the Roaring Twenties. This time, Mayor Moonie, designated successor of former Mayor Bernie Sanders, embarks on Burlaps first ever three-year mayoral term. And a few veter an political observers in the City Hall crowd Monday evening were speculating that Clavelle may not serve out the entire term. That’s because they’re hoping Peter Clavelle successfully takes his act statewide in 2004. They’re hoping that the W in ooski Wizard has to resign as mayor of Burlington in order to take the oath of office as governor of Vermont! It’s no secret that Clavelle has been eye ing statewide office for quite some time. Unfortunately, there simply hasn’t been an opening. Until now. That’s because Democrat Doug Racine, the candidate Clavelle backed, lost the governor’s race last fall to Republican Jim Douglas. The conven tional wisdom among insiders is that for mer Lt. Gov. Racine’s crushing defeat has knocked him down a few rungs in the Democratic Party’s political pecking order. But while Racine lost in November, Clavelle actually won. Mayor Moonie stepped up to the plate and led the move to unite, rather than divide Progressives and Democrats. He promoted “fusion” to a divided Vermont Left. Anyone with a fourth grade education can do the math. As long as Dems and Progs butt heads, Clavelle saw Repub licans enjoying smooth sailing and glori ous sunsets, like the ones Gov. Douglas and Lite-Gov. Brian Dubie are currently enjoying. Then, in December, Peter the Prog suc cessfully demonstrated his commitment to “fusion” by claiming the Democratic Party endorsement for mayor, too. Only a few holier-than-thou Progs objected. Clavelle sailed to victory. His double endorsement makes him the first Demo cratic mayor of Burlington since 1981! Waiting in the wings for 2004, howev er, is former State Sen. Peter Shumlin of Windham County. Putney Pete originally wanted the top spot in 2002, but bowed to pressure from Democratic Party leaders to step aside and give Doug Racine a clear shot. Shummy fell on his sword in a hopeless three-way Lite-Gov race in which he and Progressive Anthony Pollina split the Vermont Left. That led to Republican Brian Dubie s 41 percent “landslide” victo

ry-

Mr. Shumlin is still very much alive and in play. A master of the Statehouse game, he’s one of the most talented politi cians we’ve ever seen tap dance on the Vermont political stage.

Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Windsor County replaced Shumlin as Senate President pro tern. A brilliant and talented lawyer, Welchie ran unsuccessful ly for governor back in 1990. His political ambition appears to have cooled dramati cally. No longer does he covet the press attention he did in his earlier life. Nowa days, Mr. Welch is much better known for his TV commercials on WCAX, touting his skills as a personal injury lawyer. Then there’s Tony the Prog. Mr. Pollina has turned into a perennial statewide can didate, loser and standard-bearer for a third party that has been unable to expand beyond four measly seats in the 180-seat Vermont Legislature. In 2002, Tony the Prog garnered just 24.8 percent of the vote in the Lite-Gov race. To hear his recent speeches, you’d think he got twice that. Actually, long ago Pollina did top that. In 1984, Tony the Democrat got 26.7 per cent in Vermont’s Congressional race. That’s right, Anthony Pollina ran as a Democrat. Shocking, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the incumbent he chal lenged, a Republican named Jim Jeffords, was a pretty popular guy. Still is, in fact. The wake-up-and-sipell-the-coffee question for Mr. Pollina is whether or not he can ever win a statewide race wearing the Progressive Party jersey. He’s not get ting any younger. If Tony sees what all but a handful of Progressive Party true-believers see, he’ll follow the trail blazed by Peter Clavelle. If he doesn’t, Mr. Pollina will continue to be venerated by Vermont Republican activists for helping them reach heights that other wise are beyond their reach. Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders, it appears, is the only one who could really gum up Mayor Moonie’s run for governor. The recent focus by OP Bernardo on the Fletcher Allen Health Care scandal has roused speculation about his plans for 2004. At least, it’s certainly gotten Gov. Douglas’ immediate attention. Right now, the Democrats have a very deep bench. The Progs don’t. Heading the list of up-and-coming Vermont Democrats are State Senators

James Leddy, Susan Bartlett, Dick Sears, John Campbell (Sen. Soup?), and Matt Dunne. In the House, Rep. John Tracy may have lost the Speaker’s race, but he’s far from extinction. Then there are current office holders like Auditor Elizabeth Ready, Treasurer Jeb Spaulding and Secretary of State

Deb Markowitz. None of them, however, could knock off Clavelle. He’s well known around the state and very well liked in Democratic circles. In fact, Mayor Moonie and crew had everyone in stitches at the recent Democratic Party fundraiser in Mont pelier. Upon being introduced, Clavelle and his Burlington tablemates quickly donned Groucho Marx disguises. IN SID E TRA CK »

Curses, Foiled Again James P. Steiner, 35, pulled into a service station in St. Petersburg, Florida, and asked mechanics to remove the gas tank from his 1990 Dodge van. Then he pulled gold coins from the tank. The suspi cious manager called police, who found the coins — 77 Krugerrands, worth $28,259 — and $831 in his wallet and shirt pocket. Officers said that Steiner told them he owed his exwife child support and didn’t want her or the Internal Revenue Service to know about the money. They arrested him on outstanding warrants over unpaid parking tickets. A few days later, a court ordered that the coins be

Getting Settled

Southern Louisiana is sinking, according to scien tists, who point out that New Orleans and the surrounding area are built on Mississippi River silt, which is finer than sand and has been settling and compacting because of gravity. Levees built to keep the Mississippi from over flowing its banks have stopped the floods that used to lay down new layers of silt, resulting in a sinking rate of from 6 to 20 inches over the past 20 years, said Roy Dokka of Louisiana State University’s Center for Geoinformatics. Houses not built on deep pilings are tipping and cracking, as are streets, often rupturing water

Homeland Insecurity When the United States attacked Iraq, it imposed restrictions on private aircraft flying near Washington, D.C., and New York City, pointing out that these two cities had been victimized on Sept. 11, 2001, and might again be targets. The gov ernment’s announcement included air space restrictions over Disney theme ROLAND SWEET_________ parks in California and Florida, even though the Federal Aviation Administration’s chief spokesperson admitted to C N N “there has been no credible threat” to these facilities. Phil Boyer, head of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, complained to FAA Administrator Marion Blakely that Disney Park officials had been trying to eliminate air traffic over their facili ties since well before Washington and New York were attacked. He charged that Disney lobbyists persuaded the FAA to add the theme parks to the list “under the guise of security.”

Like a Bad Neighbor

State Farm Insurance Co., the nation’s largest auto insurer, notified its 40 million auto policyholders that it will no longer

cover nuclear-related claims. The Bloomington, Illinois, company said that it had read its own fine print and noticed that it had no specific language against claims from nuclear blasts or radiation. “While it was a very remote chance that such an event would hap pen, we realized we did have a poten tially large exposure,” State Farm repre sentative Ana Compain-Romero said. “By excluding this, we feel we are pro tecting our financial strength so we can continue to cover losses like hurricanes, a hailstorm, a kitchen fire and an auto mobile accident.” • Police in Fortuna, California, arrested David Kenneth Huffman, 29, who they said posed as a terminally ill teen ager in Internet chat rooms. After mak ing contact with a young girl in West Virginia, Huffman told her that he had only six months to live and asked her to send him nude photographs of her self. Investigators said Huffman even posed as friend? of the boy to pressure the girl, who eventually took the pic tures and e-mailed them to him.

Certain Bible verses can be construed as hate literature, according to a Canadian court. The Court of Queen’s Bench in Saskatchewan upheld a ruling by the province’s human rights tribunal, which fined Hugh Owens of Regina for submitting a newspaper ad that included citations of four biblical verses condemning homosexuality, including Leviticus 20:13, which says that if a man lies with a man as with a woman, both must be put to death. Justice J. Barclay ruled that the human-rights panel “was correct in concluding that the advertisement can objectively be seen as exposing homo sexuals to hatred or ridicule.” (?)

which is responsible for construction throughout Germany, was built with so many flaws that it could cost as much as $39 million to correct the shoddy workmanship. “The building definitely has deficiencies,” ministry representa tive Juergen Frank admitted, explain ing that cracked walls, loose windows and faulty air-conditioning are just some of the problems found at the building, which was completed in 1999. • When relatives of Victor Dodoi, 45, found him hanging from a tree in his garden, they cut the rope with a knife and took him to a hospital in Botosani, Romania.

NEWS FROM THE CULTURE FRONT

B y the B o o k s ou ve got mail. . . from almost every major literary figure in the last half of the 20th century. Not to mention original handwritten manuscripts, archives and between 40,000 and 60,000 books. Should you turn the lot oyer to “special collections” at Harvard for eternal safe keeping — or Yale, where you are a chaired professor? Neither. Harold Bloom, the renowned literary scholar and MacArthur “genius,” recently bequeathed his invaluable collection of “letters” to St. Michaels College. “Its his entire library,” says college spokesman Buff Lindau, adding the invaluable gift was contingent upon finding appropriate space to house it. A recent anonymous pledge of $5 mil lion — to build a new library — made the promise a reality. Bloom bypassed numerous big-name institutions to enrich St. Mikes because his long-time friend taught there, and “It will have a much bigger impact here than a t a larger univer sity,” Lindau says. You wouldn’t expect famous authors to think outside the Ivies when writing up their last wills and testaments. But there is more literary loot in the back rooms of Vermont’s academic libraries than you might think. Marlboro College has a col lection of Rudyard Kipling, who lived near Bratdeboro, including original man uscripts and a marriage certificate signed by Henry James. Burlington Colleges modest library doubled in size last year when University o f Vermont film prof Frank Manchel sent 5000 books down the hill. Manchel gave his own school first dibs, “but we had 80 percent of them already,” says Connell Gallagher, who is director for research collections at UVM’s Bailey/Howe Library. “We kept all his research notes.” At UVM, Gallagher presides over the posthumous papers o f conservationist George Perkins Marsh, education philosopher John Dewey and Warren Austin, a U.S. senator from Vermont who helped create the United Nations. Governors Hoff and Snelling also have permanent spots on the shelves. Ditto Bem ie Sanders. “We have his mayoral stuff — like 75 cartons,” Gallagher says. He’s also inheriting all the records of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. Dorothy Canfield Fisher may be better reading, though — the Arlington author was prolific. Local literati like Howard Frank Mosher and David Budbill are already handing over their stuff. University of Vermont is the logical repository for local cultural and political history, but Gallagher still has to go on the offensive. He jumped at the chance to acquire a bunch o f books by writer and part-time Vermonter Wallace Stegner. A few years ago Gallagher learned about a William Blake scholar at Wake Robin who had recently passed away. Her hold ings were “fabulous,” according to Gallagher, who raised the money from

the English department to buy them. “This collection was so close to Vermont, I was determined to get it, by hook or by crook. I didn’t want it to go to Wellesley or Harvard or someplace else.” Leslie Epstein, author of King o f the Jews, had already promised his papers to Yale when archivist Bob Buckeye started courting him on behalf of Middlebury College. Buckeye sealed the deal by focus ing on the quality of the stewardship. “Middlebury is not Yale. St. Michael’s is not Yale. But there are other factors,” Buckeye suggests. Like being a big fish in a small pond. Henry David Thoreau probabjy r^t$, easier knowing his markedup copy of Walden is at an eco-friendly college. Middlebury also has an extensive collection of William Carlos Williams, who was^a poet and a medical doctor, that includes three drafts of a novel and medical writings — some of the sentences for the book were written on pages torn from a prescription pad. Middlebury’s weirdest literary treasure is still under lock and key: notes from the therapist who treated Pulitzer Prize-win ning poet Anne Sexton before her suicide. W hen Sexton’s daughter challenged the purchase, the college agreed to keep the papers sealed until 2014. In the world of letters, that’s pushing the envelope.

in brief The Burlington Free Press is still getting flack for its editorial last month encouraging Vermonters to vote down school budgets to speed up a rewrite of Act 60. Is it a coincidence or legislative revenge that the current education finance reform bill identifies newspaper subscriptions as a potential source of new tax dollars? It’s right there on the list between beer and nonprescription drugs. The idea of collecting extra revenue on paper sales drew about 20 Vermont pub lishers to the House Ways and Means Committee last week. They brought up logistical problems — like retooling honor boxes — competitive disadvantage and declining literacy to argue against a tarif. “If people get the idea that newspa pers are too expensive, they may say, ‘The heck with them. More reason to watch television or listen to the radio,”’ says ROSS Connelly of the Hardwick Gazette. Stay tuned, er, focused. . . Slow service, not SARS, forced the Peking Opera to cancel its Flynn Center gig on March 15 as part of a U.S. tour. Homeland security is making it harder for international per forming troupes to get around. “The visa process is more complicated, takes more time and costs more,” says Flynn Artistic Director Arnie Malina.

Homeland Insecurity

w h en the United States attacked Iraq, it imposed restrictions on private aircraft flying near Washington, D.C., and New York City, pointing out that these two cities had been victimized on Sept. 11, 2001, and might again be targets.

parks in California and Florida, even though the Federal Aviation Administration’s chief spokesperson admitted to CN N “there has been no credible threat” to these facilities. Phil Boyer, head of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, complained to FAA Administrator Marion Blakely that Disney Park officials had been trying to eliminate air traffic over their facili ties since well before Washington and New York were attacked. He charged that Disney lobbyists persuaded the FAA to add the theme parks to the list “under the guise of security.”

Like a Bad Neighbor

State Farm Insurance Co., the nation’s largest auto insurer, notified its 40 million auto policyholders that it will no longer

cover nuclear-related claims. The Bloomington, Illinois, company said that it had read its own fine print and noticed that it had no specific language against claims from nuclear blasts or radiation. “While it was a very remote chance that such an event would hap pen, we realized we did have a poten tially large exposure,” State Farm repre sentative Ana Compain-Romero said. “By excluding this, we feel we are pro tecting our financial strength so we can continue to cover losses like hurricanes, a hailstorm, a kitchen fire and an auto mobile accident.” • Police in Fortuna, California, arrested David Kenneth Huffman, 29, who they said posed as a terminally ill teen ager in Internet chat rooms. After mak ing contact with a young girl in West Virginia, Huffman told her that he had only six months to live and asked her to send him nude photographs of her self. Investigators said Huffman even posed as friends of the boy to pressure the girl, who eventually took the pic tures and e-mailed them to him.

THE PUZZLE • As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences change from 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.) If she lived in Bible times, Fannie says she'd like to visit EDEN, GOSHEN, BETHEL, CANAAN and JERICHO. When hanging out in the U.K., she likes to guzzle beer in CAMBRIDGE, MANCHESTER, WORCESTER and LONDONDERRY.

DewzeL Wa s h in g t o n

Back in the States, she goes to GEORGIA for its manners and WASHINGTON for its apples. In the Northeast she likes to eat pizza in BALTIMORE, WILMINGTON, NEW HAVEN and ROCHESTER. In the Southeast she likes to have grits in RICHMOND, CHARLOTTE, CHARLESTON and MONTGOMERY.

near Glover. I could barely understand some of the locals, especially the oldtimers. I remember this one grizzled auto mechanic talking to me about the old Dodge Dart I had brought in for repair. I was genuinely uncertain whether or not he was speaking English. No doubt my New Yorkese, then still untempered, was equally unintelligible to him. “So why leave Wolcott? I asked. “There’s the cold and the snow, of course, but man, it’s so rugged and peaceful up there:” “Oh, I love it where I live. I grew up there — People’s Academy, the whole nine yards. Hell, I don’t even mind the winter. I just can’t make any money.” “No work at all, huh?” “Not exactly. I work alright, fabricating window frames in a workshop up in Hardwick. I do real nice work — these are quality frames — and I’m making, like, $6.50 an hour. And that’s after a year.” “I see what you’re talking about.” We crossed the Heineberg Bridge and I eased off the gas. We were now in Colchester Country, and this stretch of road is a notorious speed trap. “If you don’t mind me asking,” I con tinued, “what do your folks think about you moving?” “They won’t say it, but I know they don’t like it. Especially my mom. She’s a fifth generation Vermonter, grew up on a farm in Cabot.” “Well, Burlington’s not exactly California.” “Might as well be. You can count on two hands how many times my mom’s been to Burlington. She doesn’t even go into Montpelier if she can help it.” I didn’t pursue it further, but this young man’s story made me fear for the future of rural Vermont. If the small town kids with initiative are forced to migrate out for economic reasons, it doesn’t bode well for the state we know and love. The small Colchester Square Shopping Center came into view, and I pulled to a stop in front of Video World. Justin paid the fare and chuckled as he pointed to the bar next door. “My friend told about that place, B.U.’s.” he said. “Do you know what it stands for?” I thought for a moment. “I did at one point, but I’ve forgotten.” “It stands for ‘Bottom’s Up’. That’s kinda funny, huh?” “Yeah, it is. Good name for a bar, though.” “That it is, man,” he said, and gave a wide smile. “See you next time.” “Hope so,” I replied. “And good luck in the big town, Justin.” ®

ould you take me to that video store in Colchester — the one near the movies?” I take professional pride in knowing Chittenden County like the back o f my ~ hand, but this was a vague set of coordi nates. I could visualize any number of video stores located in the various dis tinct sections of Colchester, but no movie theater. Then it hit me. “You mean the Video World across from the Sunset Drive-in on Porters Point Road?” D uring its winter hiatus, the area’s last drive-in tends to fade from my awareness. “Sorry, I don’t know the name of the road. I’m from Wolcott — I’m visit ing a friend. But yeah, it’s near the drive-in movies.” As I pivoted in my seat to back away from the bus termi nal, I noticed that the passenger behind me looked famil iar. He was young, perhaps old enough to legally buy cigarettes, but probably not alcohol. He relaxed in his seat, smil ing the heady smile o f early manhood, when the world appears before you as a panoply of exciting challenges, each one conquerable, undoubtedly, if you just put your mind to it. His eyes were clear blue, and he wore a white bandana which I guess is now referred to as a “do-rag.” The hip-hop look fit this kid perfectly; he didn’t come off like a wannabe anything. He looked cool, which by definition meant he wasn’t trying too hard. In any event, both his presence and the conversation felt very deja vu-\sh. “I drove you before, didn’t I?” I asked, the memory bubbling up. “I feel like we’ve had this exact conversation.” “Yeah, I believe you did. I took this trip last fall and I think you picked me up that time, too. I remember I wasn’t , sure of the directions then, either. My name’s Justin.” “Right, right,” I said. “Didn’t you tell me you were considering a move to Burlington?” “Yup, I’m still thinking about it. It’s probably gonna happen. You have quite the memory, man.” “Well, it’s not every day I get to drive somebody from Wolcott. I guess it don’t get more Vermon’ than Wolcott.” “I guess maybe,” Justin replied, get ting into it, pouring on the woodchuck phonetics. “Unless, or course, you con sider North Wolcott. I mean, North Wolcott makes Wolcott look like Cancun. It gets cold in North Wolcott, it does.” I chuckled as we sped along the Northern Connector. There’s nothing like a Vermont accent straight from a Vermonter out o f the Northeast Kingdom. W hen I first landed in Vermont some 25 years ago, I lived

Dear Cecil, Since you’ve already covered the Bush fam ily’s relation ship to the Nazis (thank you), I thought maybe you’d also cover another timely topic. I ’ve heard many times and in many places (but none mainstream that I can think of) that George W. Bush was AWOL for at least a year from the National Guard during Vietnam (after “jumping the line” to get a sb t in the Guard in the first place). For some reason (I’m not sure why), I have trust in the Straight Dope. Can you tell me/us i f the person sending others to war in Iraq was really derelict in his military duties? How serious an offense would that behavior have been considered, generally, during the Vietnam war? Lastly, i f George was actually AWOL, and that would have been the equivalent o f a felony for most people, why haven’t we been hearing about this issue? — Kerry J. Johnson Bellingham, Washington

Yeah, the mainstream media have really kept a lid on this one. We wouldn’t know anything about Bush going AWOL if it hadn’t been for that obscure underground newspaper the Boston Globe, which broke the story nationally in May 2000. But you’re right that coverage has been pretty thin. A few months after the 2000 elec tion, former Bill Clinton adviser Paul Begala said he’d done a Nexis search and found 13,641 stories about Clinton’s alleged draft dodging versus 49 about George W. Bush’s military record. Why the disparity? We’ll get to that. First the basics: Yes, it’s true, Bush didn’t report to his Guard unit for an extended period — 17 months, by one account. It wasn’t considered that serious an offense at the time, and if circumstances were different now I’d be inclined to write it off as youthful irresponsi bility. However, given the none-too-subde suggestion by the Bush administration that opponents of our Iraqi excursion lack martial valor, I have to say: You guys should talk. Here’s the story as generally agreed upon: In January

1968, with the Vietnam war in full swing, Bush was due to graduate from Yale. Knowing he’d soon he eligible for the draft, he took an Air Force officers’ test hoping to secure a billet with the Texas Air National Guard, which would allow him to do his military service at home. Bush didn’t do particularly well on the test — on the pilot aptitude section, he scored in the 25th percentile, the lowest possible passing grade. But Bush’s father, George H.W., was then a U.S. Congressman from Houston, and strings were pulled. The younger Bush vaulted to the head of a long waiting list — a year and a half long, by some estimates — and in May of ’68 he was inducted into the Guard. By all accounts Bush was an excellent pilot, but apparently his enthusiasm cooled. In 1972, four years into his six-year Guard commitment, he was asked to work for the campaign of Bush family friend Winton Blount, who was running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. In May Bush requested a transfer to an Alabama Air National Guard unit with no planes and minimal duties. Bush’s immediate superiors approved the transfer, but higher-ups said no. The matter was delayed for months. In August Bush missed his annual flight physical and was grounded. (Some have speculated that he was worried about failing a drug test — the Pentagon had instituted random screening in April.) In September he was ordered to report to a different unit of the Alabama Guard, the 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group in Montgomery. Bush says he did so, but his nominal superiors say they never saw the guy, there’s no documentation he ever showed up, and not one of the six or seven hundred soldiers then in the unit has stepped forward to corroborate Bush’s story. After the November election Bush returned to Texas, ' but apparently didn’t notify his old Texas Guard unit for quite a while, if ever. The Boston Globe initially reported that he started putting in some serious duty time in May, June and July of 1973 to make up for what he’d missed. But according to a piece in the New Republic, there’s no evidence Bush did even that. Whatever the case, even though his superiors knew he’d blown off his duties, they never disciplined him. (No one’s ever bpen shot at dawn for missing a weekend Guard drill, but policy at the time was to put shirkers on active duty.) Indeed, when Bush decided to go to business school at Harvard in the fall of 1973, he requested and got an honorable discharge — eight months before his service was scheduled to end. Bush’s enemies say all this proves he was a cowardly deserter. Nonsense. He was a pampered rich kid who took advantage. Why wasn’t he called on it in a serious way during the 2000 election? Probably because Demo crats figured they’d get Clinton’s draff-dodging thing thrown back at them. Not that it matters. If history judges Bush harshly — and it probably will — it won’t be for screwing up as a young smart aleck, but for get ting us into this damn fool war. CECIL ADAMS

ity the poor satirists. War is not at all funny, yet their jobs continue. Humorists have to find delicate ways to pull a chuckle out of everyone all at once, and the best way to perform that feat in these sad and curious times is to sidestep war talk and center on what we all know best: the foibles of other people. Which is why I laughed almost to tears while reading Chortler.com's fictitious background profile on dryly arrogant White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Positing that Fleischer's parents were a lion tamer and an acrobat, Chortler.com imagines the young lad avidly listening to the radio when Ford administration spokesman Ron Nessen came on and Fleischer realized,'"That could be me!" Chortler.com avers, "Friends and neighbors recall a teenage Ari standing outside the family's home where he would say the line 'The President's position on this is clear' over and over again for hours at a time." 1 his site also compiles lists, once the sole province of late-night television. Among their recent "Ten Least Likely Comments to be Made During War," they feature Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld at number four offering to take the opinions of others into consideration, and President Bush at number eight begin ning a sentence with the phrase, "As the noted Greek war historian Thucydides once wrote. . . " (Fleischer clocks in at number nine as saying, "That's our posi tion. But then again, we could be wrong.")

The national satirical paper The Onion briefly suspended publication after 9/11, then produced the only September laugh I had that year with its story, "Woman Bakes American Flag-Shaped Cake."

piece of fiction about a woman who was so distraught over her inability to do anything to comfort those who had lost loved ones except, darn it, bake her best cake, struck me deeply. Many of us who were left intact after the attacks felt that same impotence and desire to do something, no matter how small. The Onion is back in liberal stride with the war, which it brands "Opera tion Piss O ff the Planet." (They called the September 11th attacks "Holy Fucking Shit!" which encapsulated things neatly, if not politely.) Recent headlines poke fun at everyone from pop stars ("Sheryl Crow Unsuccessful; War O n Iraq Begins ") to the President ("Bush Thought War Would Be Over by Now"), to the media itself, .("Net work News Satellites Collide Over

Iraq"), while keeping up th e r usual col legial brand of silly stories on mayon naise heirs and those crazy Hilton girls. NPR commentator Andy Borowitz's one-man operation, "The Borowitz Report," restricts itself to a single gem of topical satire each weekday. Last week saw the U.S. bombarding Iraq with conflicting messages from Department of Homeland Security head Tom Ridge, as we dizzy ourselves putting up and taking down plastic sheeting and duct tape, and Ozzy Osbourne latently protesting the war in Afghanistan — just himself and a sign, all alone in Times Square. While Arab-American Ziad Ezzat’s Wacky Iraqi Web site tends to broad strokes, he also draws from topics and people of the day. His take on the inva sion, "Operation Free Oil," has a decid edly antiwar slant but remains fairly wholesale. A recent headline pro claimed, "Soldiers Told to Stop Defacing Pictures of Saddam: CIA Working Diligently to Tell Despots from Duplicates" — a neat presage to a subsequent New Yorker magazine cover. Ezzat's is real geek humor, best snick ered at over a graphing calculator, but his perspective as an American-born Iraqi is important. "Welcome to the White House!" beams the Whitehouse.org Web site, but don't be fooled. Rabidly antiRepublican and claiming to be spon sored by both R.J. Reynolds and "God

Best accessed for its internal links, Whitehouse.org has created the Nation al Rifleman's Association Kooky Kids Korner, where you can learn how "Ver mont 4th grader Kip Fark shows squir rels who’s the boss!" an article certain to make Michael Moore very proud. Finally, there's The Specious Report, "Spreading Rumors, Half-Truths and Misinformation Since 1789," and spe cializing in bang-on graphic parodies of news organizations like "CNNN." Featuring "stories" such as the Bush administration's alleged instructions to Democrats and moderate Republicans on how to surrender — taken from those leaflets dropped throughout Iraq — the text assures, "Your career in poli tics does not have to end. You will be safe if you cease resistance." Even John Birchers can get a faint smile from that. As every one of these sites struggles to prove that levity is not dead, we can all thank the heavens for Geraldo Rivera, whose departure from Iraq, TV host Jon Stewart notes (and About.com reproduces), reinstates Saddam Hussein and his sons as the most despised peo ple in that country. ©

favorite presidential hopeful made a pit stop in Burlington on Monday morning. Returning from a Florida engagement, Howard Dean and “Gal-Friday” Kate O'Connor flew north to Boston, then drove the rest of the way home. One source reported spotting Ho-Ho at a Shelburne Road dry cleaner later in the day. Hey, Ho-Ho sure has been dressing better lately, eh? This week comes word that Dean is reuniting with his for mer traveling companion and deputy chief of staff, Bob Rogan. Rogan’s been cooling his heels the last few years as a vicepresident at CVPS in Rutland. Top-shelf dude. As Rogan comes on board, longtime Press Secretary Sue Allen departs the Dean for America campaign staff. Sweet Sue’s been with Ho-Ho for five years. Ms. Allen made it clear from the start she was only going to stick with the campaign for its initial stages. Recently remarried last fall, Sweet Sue has family responsibilities to attend to.

his thinking, but torn about giv ing up a job he loved.” Second, the Friday in February when he spoke to the Democratic National Committee and brought down the house. All the presidential staffers were gathered around the TV watch ing on C-Span, and I actually got a tear in my eye because he was so inspiring. It was a reminder of why we were all so committed to this campaign.” Q. Were you in the room when he signed civil unions? A. “Yes, along with almost his entire staff. He made a speech, similar to the one he gave at the press conference a few hours later. We all applauded; we were deeply proud.” Q. W hat do you think o f the local reaction to Howard’s run for the presidency? Skeptical at first, eh? A. “I think it’s hard for Vermonters to picture Howard Dean as president, just as it is for the other candidates in their home states. H e’s served in the Vermont House, as Lieutenant Governor and finally Governor. They see him at the grocery store and the gas station. They remember his campaign: ‘Howard - I just like him .’ But over the course of this primary, I hope and expect that will change. Already he’s giving voice to many Vermonters who have concerns about this war.”

She’ll be missed.

Fletcher Allen Layoffs? —

Ms. Allen is being replaced by two press people: Campaign manager Joe Trippi’s wife, Kathy Lash, and former jour nalist Dorie Clark of Boston. Here’s a little Q & A with Sweet Sue. For her departure, we’ll even give her the last word.

More bad news from Hospital Hill. In a two-page, single spaced letter sent to the homes of Fletcher Allen Health care employees, Interim CEO Ed Colodny broke the bad news. Operating expenses at Vermont’s largest hospital are up and rev enues are down. The Mary Fanny was almost $5 million in the red for the first quarter. Mister Ed cited increased costs for patient care and outpa tient services as well as costs related to ongoing investigations o f the hospital’s Renaissance Project Scandal. But the news that sent a chill though many Mary Fanny work ers was that layoffs, or what Colodny called “personnel reductions,” are around the cor ner.

Q. What was the best part of being Howard Dean’s official spokesman all these years? A. “It may sound hokey, but the best part of working for Howard Dean is Howard Dean. He is funny and honest, he puts his wife and kids first (which makes him a family-friendly boss), and he makes us all proud with his speeches and positions. He makes you feel like you’re working to make Vermont - and now the nation - a better place to live, not working for a paycheck.” Q. The worst? A. “The worst by far are the hours, and that has less to do with the candidate and every thing to do with the industry. Presidential campaigns are round-the-clock endeavors. Staff become ‘family’ to each other; it’s difficult for married staffers with children — like me — to make room for another ‘family.’” Q. Most memorable moments? A. “The first was sitting in the 5th floor Governor’s Office one September afternoon with a small group of senior staff and hearing him talk about his deci sion not to seek reelection to the governor’s office. It was a bitter sweet moment. He was clear in

Yikes! Last fall nurses voted over whelmingly to form a union. They said that the shortage of nurses was already affecting patient care. Currendy, the nurs es are in the midst of negotia tions with management over their first contract. Recently they held a press conference to com plain about the snail’s pace of those negotiations.

The obvious question is whether or not Colodny’s week end epistle threatening layoffs is related to the battle at the bar gaining table. Nurse Steve Chamberlin thinks it is. Chamberlin, the co-chair of the nurses’ bargaining committee told Seven Days, “The- timing is just too coincidental. We’re in negotiations.” Mister Ed’s letter

Barbara Grimes. In her March 23 Weekly Report issued by email the day before she left for a two-week Hawaii vacation, General Manager Grimes wrote, “I am disappointed to report that the FY2004 budget that is being pro posed will need a rate increase.” According to Grimes, “To maintain our debt coverage, rev enue needs to meet expenditures; can’t use savings, it has to be rev enues.” Grimes also indicated “lay offs” will be necessary to balance the municipal utility budget. The news caught city officials as well as members of the Bur lington Electric Commission off guard. In fact, not a word was mentioned about a revenue shortfall at the March 20 Bur lington Electric Commission meeting, according to the min utes. That was just three days before Grimes released the bad news and headed for Honolulu. Asked Monday night if Ms. Grimes’ announcement about money problems came “out of the blue,” Electric Commission Chairman John Franco replied, “Pretty much.” Franco told Seven Days that as soon as he got the Grimes report, he immediately called a special meeting of the commission. It was last Wednesday. No press attended. “We’ve only scratched the surface,” he said. Mr. Franco mentioned several possible reasons for the financial shortfall, including increased power costs and higher contribu tions to the department’s pension fund resulting from stock market woes. He also said the recent frigid winter prevented BED from selling excess power gener ated by the McNeil Plant in the Intervale. Burlington Electric is a notfor-profit, ratepayer-owned utili ty. And it’s provided the lowest electric rates in Vermont for years. BED hasn’t had a rate increase since 1993 and that was a tiny one of just 1.67 percent. Then, in 1996, BED instituted a 5 percent rate reduction! In Grimes’ March 23 report, she summed up the situation this way: “Ugly weather, ugly times, I am really looking forward to my vacation.” Late Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Clavelle said through his spokesman Bill Mitchell that Grimes “is on a well-deserved vacation” and has his “support and confidence.” It’s “early in the budget process” and “a rate increase is not a foregone conclusion.” ®

ardwick is a long way from the center of the universe. In fact, it’s remarkable that there’s a bookstore at all in the hardscrab ble Northeast Kingdom town of 3,174 residents, where the configuration of storefronts seems to change about every STORY six months. ANNE But Linda Ramsdell runs her aptly G ALLO W AY titled “Galaxy Bookstore” with a much bigger picture in mind. For 15 years, she’s IMAGE nurtured the literary outlet, growing it JE B from a single shelf of books in a yard-andW A LLA C E - gift shop to a fully fledged bookstore jamB R O D E U R packed with hundreds of titles in the old Merchants Bank building. “Its an absolute miracle that she’s been able to sustain that store in Hardwick,” suggests David Budbill, a local poet who lives nearby in Wolcott. In recognition of RamsdeH’s efforts, Vermont authors like Howard Frank Mosher, Jeffrey Lent, __ Archer Mayor and Reeve Lindbergh hap pily make the trek to read. A champion for local literature, Ramsdell is also looking out for authors, readers and book sellers beyond the Green Mountains. Last year she was elected pres ident of the New England Booksellers Association — a trade organization repre-

senting more than 400 independent book stores in Connecticut, Maine, Massa- * chusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Soon afterwards, she teamed up with University of Vermont librarian Trina Magi to tackle an issue of national importance. The duo collected signatures of independent booksellers and librarians opposed to the Big Brother aspects of Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. Passed shortly after September 11, the legislation gives the government broad authority to search bookstore and library records deemed relevant to an investigaIS O A OMHlIflCSH » ! .

tion, including the records of individuals not suspected of any crime. “Vermont is the state that’s in the van guard on this issue, and it’s because of the leadership of Linda Ramsdell and other librarians and booksellers in Vermont,” says Rusty Drugan, executive director of NEBA. The grassroots efforts of Ramsdell and Magi attracted the attention of Congress- "" man Bernie Sanders, who voted against the USA Patriot Act a year and a half ago. With fresh ammo, Sanders recently draft ed legislation to repeal what he calls “a crushing attack on basic rights in this country.” Last month Ramsdell was invit ed to the Capitol Hill press conference where the Congressman introduced his Freedom to Read Protection Act, which exempts booksellers and librarians from compliance with Section 215.

found connection between readers and the written word. Asked what she’s reading, she launches into a 10-minute description o f Howard Frank Moshers soon-to-be-released “novel” about the voyages of Lewis and Clark. “It’s a laugh-out-loud picturesque adventure,” she says, sounding like a blurb from the back of the book, “different from anything he’s ever written.” Ramsdell started Galaxy fresh out of Brown University, where she majored in women’s studies. “Some people have things planned out in advance. All of a sudden I was out of college and I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” she recalls. From her childhood home in Craftsbury, she decided to start selling books. She registered the Galaxy name with the state, ordered eight boxes o f books and put out a selection of Vermont titles on a shelf in the corner of what was then a shop in the old firehouse in Hardwick. Her enthusiastic ad in the Hardwick Gazette promised, “Over 50 titles available!” “It was all gut feelings... I didn’t know anything about running a business. Buy books and resell them - that was pretty much my business plan.” Six months later, Ramsdell moved her book shelves into a bonafide storefront on Main Street. Her entire inventory, furniture and cash register all fit in the back of a pickup truck. A few years later she moved to the 1,000-square-foot space next door, and in 1997 she bought the old Merchants Bank building. She moved down the street with the help of more than 50 customers pushing shopping carts. Today Ramsdell has hundreds of titles available, a mailing list o f 800 customers, several part-time employees and a satellite business called Stardust Books. Last year she bought the old library build ing in Craftsbury and opened a bookstore that is now run by high school students. “I grew by increments,” Ramsdell says. “If some one gave me a million dollars to open the book store of my dreams, I’d be terrified. I had $3000 to start with and I just reinvested the inventory.” Keeping an independent bookstore going in any town is a challenge, but Hardwick is particularly small and rural — it’s the butt of every “nice tooth” joke in the state. Twenty-seven miles south in Montpelier, Bear Pond Books owner Michael Katzenberg says Ramsdell just has what it takes to make it off the beaten track. For example, she has the names, and literary tastes, o f her clients com mitted to memory. “She’s a great bookseller, she

really is,” says Katzenberg. “She’s highly energetic and she’s got that passion, a lot of common sense and she’s about the friendliest person in the world. Her passion is to get books in the hands of readers and to spread literature.” Judging from the bookstore’s success, Ramsdell may have her tiny corner on the market figured out. She won over townspeople long ago when The Galaxy became one of the town’s few anchor stores. She’s turned the brick monolith on Mill Street into a gracious but welcoming place with marble floors and lacquered wood trim. Ramsdell uses the drivethrough teller window for her checkout area, the former bank president’s office as her billing sanc tum and the old vault as repository for puzzles and games. The main display area is taken up with tasteful arrangements of the sorts of books you’d expect to find in any Green Mountain bookstore: works about Vermont or by Vermont authors, bestsellers, classics, children’s stuff and titles devoted to psy chology, adventure, nature and history. But as you walk in the door you can’t miss “Linda’s favorites,” an eclectic, off-beat selection of muck-raking jour nalism, gut-wrenching adventure, neo-feminist dia tribes and historical fiction. Nickeled and Dimed, journalist Barbara Ehrenriech’s look at minimumwage workers, shares a shelf with the Thelma and Louise-inspired The Bad Girls' Guide to the Open Road. “One of the things that’s so interesting about Linda’s store is the books that are in there are a reflection of Linda,” says Budbill, who tutored Ramsdell for a year after she finished high school. He’s been a regular since The Galaxy opened in 1988. Ramsdell caters to two basic sets of readers: the year-rounders and the summer people. “People are fiercely loyal and supportive and that’s the only way local businesses survive,” she says. “The summer people are more likely to spend $100 at a time, but what really makes an impact is people coming in and spending $5 or $10. Winter is when people who live around here do the most reading, and the people who live here keep the bookstore alive.” Since she started selling books in Vermont, Ramsdell has lived by the following logic, which she lays out with a laugh: “A bookstore in Hard wick is not an oxymoron; a profitable bookstore is not an oxymoron; and a profitable bookstore in Hardwick is not an oxymoron.” Maybe she should write a book about it. ®

The Gwo Ka Masters will host a drum and vocal workshop at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16 in the Flynn Center's Chace Studio.

But he's also recorded tributes to artists as divergent as John Coltrane and the Grateful Dead. In 1998, he released an album of highly accessible ballads.

One of his recent projects is merging jazz with the music of the African diaspora, in particular the traditional music of Guade loupe known as Gwo Ka. This isn't the first time jazz has been mixed with traditional African and Caribbean music — Randy Weston has been doing it for decades —- but in less capable hands the union can sound like the proverbial train wreck. Raised in Berkeley, California, Murray started down the musical path as an alto saxo phonist playing gospel and later r&b. After hearing Sonny Rollins perform in 1966, he switched to tenor. The experience launched Murray's own jazz journey, which he saw as a natural evolution. He was finding litde chal lenge in backing up r&b singers. "It's just something you grow into after you get tired of everything else," Murray says of his attrac tion to jazz. "It's like growing up, really. Once you get it in your ears, the bug just kind of gnaws at you. Then you've got an insatiable desire for knowledge.” Something else that attracted him to jazz: the opportunity to earn respect. "Jazz is probably the only business I can go into as an African-American man that I don’t totally get fucked with all the time because

of who I am and what I look like," he says. "I hate to harp on that kind of stuff, but that shit is still working." In 1975, Murray moved to New York City and became part of the idiosyncratic avant-garde loft scene that was based in mostly abandoned industrial spaces below 14th Street. It was a hospitable environ ment for free jazz musicians perfecting their often dissonant and radical explorations. Murray quickly became known as a raw but unstoppable talent. His innovative sound was hard to categorize. The screeches, howls and non-traditional note selectidh owed much to '60s innovators Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy and Archie Shepp. His vibrato brought to mind swing legends Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins. Like Illinois Jacquet, Murray had a penchant for playing — loud — above the tenor's nor mal register. ’ By 1977, Murray had three solo albums on independent labels and had joined up with Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake and Hamiet Bluiett to form the World Saxophone Quartet. The ground-breaking group was one of the most celebrated and influential jazz ensembles of that era. Four of the biggest risk takers ever to put reeds in their mouths, its members dallied in edgy free jazz concepts, advanced harmony and rootsy blues and funk. To this day, the W SQ remains one of Murray's favorite out lets, a place where he can reunite with his mentors and play anything from Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix. "I think we've kind of set up a precedent for saxophone quartets all over the world," he says. "We've developed a cohesion and a way to play with each other which is proba bly unequaled. The saxophone quartet has always been present in my life." Both as a solo artist and with the WSQ, Murray has built a colossal reputation as an innovative force in. the jazz community. He's also prolific, having logged dozens of

Why does everyone thlnl

l i e M lv b a ri part interim chief executive officer of Fletcher Allen Health Care and Burling ton native son, is getting to his office. After winding through the colorcoded innards of Vermont’s largest hospital, you exit the building on the third floor and cross a temporary scaffolding bridge that spans a massive construction site: the $356 million Renaissance Project. In the gaping wound below, bulldozers and excavators simultane ously shore up and tear open the earth around the Burgess Building, the former nurses’ dormitory that now houses the hospital adminis tration. The turmoil is a fitting metaphor. During the last year, the hospital has suffered through a protracted financial scandal that has left its reputation on shaky ground. But when you cross into Colodny’s office you reach an oasis of stability. It’s a simple, unpretentious place — no big leather chair, mahogany desk or breathtaking view of the sort you’d expect to find in an executive suite. Instead, there’s a photo on one wall that Colodny took of three heifers at UVM’s Spear Street Farm. In another, Colodny is holding the Stanley Cup trophy over his head like a victorious hockey player. There’s also a model plane from USAir, the airline Colodny ran for more than 15 years. And a Superman doll, presumably a gift from someone who con sidered Colodny’s achievements to be heroic. It’s a common perception of him. In an era when so many cap tains of industry are sinking their companies in a Bermuda Triangle of corporate malfeasance, Colodny has earned a reputation for steering troubled organizations back to calm waters with a steady hand and an unwavering moral compass. He piloted a beleaguered airline to become one of the most profitable carriers in the industry. He brought stability and purpose to the University of Vermont at a time when it had lost its focus and direction. Most recently, he assumed the helm on a salvage operation to save the credibility of a hospital board battered by the state’s worst financial scandal ever. Colodny, it seems, shines brightest when things are at their gloomiest. What’s his secret? Physically, Colodny is not an imposing figure. The jovial 76-year-old grandfather with salt-and-pepper hair and an easy smile speaks slowly but without hesitation and always looks you in the eye. He combines a friend liness that puts you at ease with directness that commands your respect. Ask Colodny what qualities define the best corporate executives and his answer may surprise you. “I think they’ve all been genuinely interest ed in the welfare of the organization and its people,” he says. “They’ve also been very nice people. They’re people you enjoy being with.” Colodny might as well be talking about himself. Reviewing 30 years of newspaper and magazine articles about him reveals a certain consensus that’s summed up in phrases like “disarming,” “affable,” “extraordinary people skills” and “famous for his accessibility.” Those traits are something of a family tradition. Longtime Burlington residents may remember the Colodny grocery store his grandfather founded on South Winooski Avenue, where George Little Park now sits. The Colodnys were Orthodox Jewish emigres from Pinsk, Russia, who settled in Burlington in the 1880s. His father, Myer, and his uncle, Alex, quickly established themselves as savvy entrepreneurs in the community. During World War II they helped provision troops who were training on the UVM campus. The Colodnys were movers and shakers in another sense as well. Ed Colodny’s great-grandfather had been a streetcar conductor in New York City; his grandfather launched a short-lived bus company that ran between Burlington and Montpelier in the 1920s. Colodnys father, an aviation buff, used to take his son on sightseeing flights in an open cockpit plane. In 1934

he was aboard the first commercial flight between Burlington and Boston. It’s not sur prising that his son developed an interest in planes, trains and automobiles. Colodny himself never became a pilot, though his fondness for aviation took off in another way. As a young Harvard-educated lawyer, he accepted a job with the Civil Aeronautics Board, a position that in 1957 catapulted him into the job of assistant to the president of Allegheny Airlines. Colodny would stay with the airline for the next 34 years, cautiously growing the business without overextending it financially. In 1975 he was named president of Allegheny Airlines and four years later changed the name to USAir. But Colodny was at the controls only a short time before the company encountered the regulatory equivalent of wind shear. In

in his head. I was always very impressed with that.” Wilding soon figured out how Colodny gained that knowledge: He took the time to get to know the rank and file. During their lunch breaks, Wilding and Colodny would often run into employees of USAir, which at the time was headquartered at the airport. Colodny, he recalls, always stopped to chat with his pilots, flight attendants and mainte nance crews. “As you picture the typical CEO of a huge company, a certain image comes to mind. That really wasn’t Ed Colodny,” Wilding says. “He was very down-to-earth, very funny and just a very nice person.” No wonder a 1989 article in the trade journal Air Transport World described Colodny as “one of the nicest people in the airline industry.”

proving valuable in his current position. “You have to be visible and involved. And you have to stand and take the heat,” says Colodny. “You hope your systems are suffi ciently thorough, but it’s still a business run by humans.” Despite those setbacks, USAir — which later changed its name to US Airways — maintained a good safety record throughout Colodny’s tenure. Though he presided over the company during one of the most tumul tuous times in its history — like many air lines of the time, USAir was struggling financially when he left it in 1991 — Colodny would be remembered as one of its most capable leaders. Colodny remained in the Washington, D.C., area and went to work as chairman of the board of Comsat, a Bethesda, Maryland-

“Be was as comfortable with a governor as be was with a Janitor. No’s a person who’s genuinely Interested In others.” — UVM Provost John Bramley 1978 Congress deregulated the entire airline industry, which effectively meant that small, regional carriers like USAir had to compete . head-to-head with their larger national com petitors. Colodny had strongly opposed deregulation and tried for a time to get the law tailored to allow small airlines time to acclimate. “O f course, that didn’t happen,” Colodny recalls, “so we decided we had to make deregulation work for us.” He did make it work, by acquiring small, regional airlines and transforming them into a major national player that weathered some difficult economic conditions. How did he navigate those turbulent times? “You play the game according to the rules,” Colodny says. “You may not like some of the rules, but while they’re there, you make it work.” Jim Wilding is president and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority which owns and operates Dulles and Reagan National airports. For years, when he and Colodny had offices several hangars apart at National, the two would occasionally meet for lunch at a nearby snack bar. “I’m a real fan of Ed Colodny’s. He was a real hands-on person,” Wilding recalls. “There was no ques tion that when he was the head of USAir, he ran USAir. It was very, very seldom that you asked Ed a question about the operation of his airline that he didn’t have the information

Colodny’s close relationship with his employees was, perhaps, most evident in 1987 when Carl Icahn, then owner and presi dent of TWA, tried to stop a merger between USAir and Piedmont. In a drama reminiscent of the movie Wall Street, Colodny went to court and got an injunction preventing the hostile takeover. It was a move that likely saved countless jobs at both airlines. “When we beat [Icahn] off, the employees all signed a banner with thousands of names on it and presented it to me,” Colodny remembers. “I have it hanging in my office at home. It’s something I’m very proud of.” But more painful crises would hone Colodny’s leadership abilities. On Sept: 20, 1989, a USAir plane ran off the runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and sank into Flushing Bay. Less than two years later, another USAir jet collided with a commuter plane on the runaway in Los Angeles. Both accidents resulted in fatalities. I he physical and psychological trauma to the organiza tion were bad enough. But Colodny vividly recalls a chaotic press conference at the Marriott Hotel near LaGuardia, when stories were flying that USAir pilots had been seen drinking in a bar the night before. (Those rumors later proved groundless.) The experi ence taught Colodny lessons about leader ship under fire, which are undoubtedly

But even though his work there was primarily national in scope, Colodny took an active interest in local affairs, accepting a position as CEO of the Greater Washington Board of Trade. John Tydings, who headed the trade board in the late 1990s, worked closely with Colodny on a number of community projects. “I have a tremendous respect for the guy,” says Tydings. “He was a trailblazer for compa nies that were headquartered in D.C. that have a national focus to get interested in their own home town.” Colodny, he says, was an early advocate for improving surface trans portation in the nation’s capital, not because it would help his business but because it ben efited the community as a whole. Tydings remembers Colodny as someone with “a great capacity as a communicator.” He could take complicated ideas and express them to a diverse audience in ways that made other people want to follow them. His enormous patience, he adds, gave Colodny the ability to work with a wide variety of leadership styles. “I think Ed was a leader who was prepared to not only speak his piece but act his convictions. That’s some thing you don’t always see in the public arena,” Tydings says. “Frankly, I think the world of him.”

When Comsat merged into Lockheed Martin in 2000, Colodny returned to Burlington — not to retire, but to assume the job of interim UVM president following the resignation of Judith Ramaley. Once again, he found himself at the wheel of a storm-bat tered vessel. Less than two years earlier, the administration had been rocked by a hazing scandal involving nine freshmen recruits on the UVM hockey team. One of the players had sued, resulting in an $80,000 setdement. Meanwhile, UVM’s faculty and staff were suffering from low morale and lousy rela tions with the administration. The faculty had just voted to unionize and many profes sors were understandably wary of a new business executive who had only a limited track record in academia. One of Colodny’s first acts as president was to appoint John Bramley as university provost. “I think there was a certain suspi cion on the part of many that, ‘OK, we’re going to have a corporate CEO who is going to come in and slash and burn and pillage and so on,”’ Bramley recalls. “But of course, that didn’t happen. His personal style won over the suspicions of people. He knew he was not an academic and he didn’t try to be one. That was smart.” Like many people, Bramley soon found Colodny to be “a delight to work with.” He admired his boss’s grasp of finances, organi zational structures and other bureaucratic affairs. But he says what really impressed him was Colodny’s “people-centered approach” to management. “He was as com fortable with a governor as he was with a janitor,” says Bramley. “He’s a person who’s genuinely interested in others.” Judy Cohen, vice president of the UVM Faculty Senate, served on the search com mittee that recommended Colodny’s appointment. She admits that initially there were some concerns about having a universi ty president who was in his 70s. But those worries evaporated when faculty members met Colodny in person. “There’s a real ethi cal core to him that you pick up. He’s very centered, Cohen says. “You immediately know that this is a man of substance.” Like Bramley, Cohen was impressed with Colodny’s ability to connect with university people on a personal level. In her case, Colodny had known her father, a wholesaler who supplied the Colodny grocery stores. “He would recount to me his memories of my father,” Cohen recalls. “He was very warm » 27A

His enormous patience, he adds, gave Colodny the ability to work with a wide variety of leadership styles. “I think F’d was a leader who was prepared to not only speak his piece but act his convictions. That’s some thing you don’t always see in the public arena,” Tydings says. “Frankly, 1 think the world of him.”

When Comsat merged into Lockheed Martin in 2000, Colodny returned to Burlington — not to retire, but to assume the job of interim UVM president following the resignation of Judith Ramaley. Once again, he found himself at the wheel of a storm-bat tered vessel. Less than two years earlier, the administration had been rocked by a hazing scandal involving nine freshmen recruits on the UVM hockey team. One of the players had sued, resulting in an $80,000 settlement. Meanwhile, UVM’s faculty and staff were suffering from low morale and lousy rela tions with the administration. The faculty had just voted to unionize and many profes sors were understandably wary of a new business executive who had only a limited track record in academia. One of Colodny’s first acts as president was to appoint John Bramley as university provost. “I think there was a certain suspi cion on the part of many that, ‘OK, we re going to have a corporate CEO who is going to come in and slash and burn and pillage and so on,”’ Bramley recalls. “But of course, that didn’t happen. His personal style won over the suspicions of people. He knew he was not an academic and he didn’t try to be one. That was smart.” Like many people, Bramley soon found Colodny to be “a delight to work with.” He admired his boss’s grasp of finances, organi zational structures and other bureaucratic affairs. But he says what really impressed him was Colodny’s “people-centered approach” to management. “He was as com fortable with a governor as he was with a janitor,” says Bramley. “He’s a person who’s genuinely interested in others.” Judy Cohen, vice president of the UVM Faculty Senate, served on the search com mittee that recommended Colodny’s appointment. She admits that initially there were some concerns about having a universi ty president who was in his 70s. But those worries evaporated when faculty members met Colodny in person. “There’s a real ethi cal core to him that you pick up. He’s very centered, Cohen says. “You immediately know that this is a man of substance. Like Bramley, Cohen was impressed with Colodnvs ability to connect with university people on a personal level. In her case, Colodnv had known her father, a wholesaler who supplied the Colodny grocery stores. “He would recount to me his memories of my father,” Cohen recalls. “He was very warm » 37A

and every time he saw me, he commented on his family’s rela tionship with my father.” Right away, Colodny knew that whatever changes he wanted to enact would have to be made quickly — there simply wasn’t time to move slowly. “I made the point early on at the university that I didn’t come there to just be a caretaker. I’d come to make a difference,” Colodny says. “I knew if everything went well, the most I’d have was a year, which is as long as an interim president should serve. ” Invariably, short-term managers have to overcome the inertia of a bureaucracy that assumes it will outlast them. “There’s always a cer tain amount of foot-dragging and figuring the issues will just go away. But that’s true in every organiza tion,” Colodny says. “My style is not autocratic, so I very much depend on people to buy in.” And people did “buy in” to Ed Colodny — students, faculty, and legislators alike Shortly after he was hired in April of 2001, but before he took office, UVM stu dents held their annual “4-20” cele bration, a public marijuana smokein that for years had riled many lawmakers in Montpelier. Fearing that the Legislature would slash the university’s budget if the issue were not addressed, school officials debated what they should do about it. Bramley distinctly remembers the new president’s response. “Ed turned around and said, ‘Well, we can’t do anything about it,” Bramley recalls. ‘“But we can work with the students and per suade them to do something about it.’ That was typical Ed.” John Badaracco, president of the Student Government Associa tion, was treasurer when Colodny approached the students about the 4-20 issue. Rather than taking an iron-fisted approach, Colodny explained to them how the fund ing cuts would directly affect stu dents'. As a result, SGA came up with an alternative event: Spring Fest. Colodny said, “‘You plan it, we’ll do it. Whatever you want, we’ll make it happen,”’ recalls Badaracco. The resulting event — a concert headlined by Vida Blue, the side-project of Phish key boardist Page McConell — “was a huge, huge day and it started a new tradition.” Badaracco says Colodny’s style soon earned him the respect of the UVM student body. Colodny was a visible presence on campus, talk ing to students, listening to what they had to say about dorms and hearing their complaints about the student commons, which had gone largely ignored for nine years. It was clear, Badaracco says, that Colodny appreciated the importance of campus life. “We loved Ed. He was amazing,” Badaracco says. “He loved UVM and wanted to make sure students loved UVM, too.” Colodny’s popularity extended to Montpelier as well. Later that year the Legislature gave the uni versity a 3-percent budget in crease, even though Governor Howard Dean had recommended only 2 percent. W hat made the difference, lawmakers say, was Colodny’s professionalism and _ straight-shooter approach. “Right from the get-go, deal ing with Ed became a very pleas

urable experience. He was very insightful, straightforward and tothe-point,” says Rep. Howard Crawford (D-East Burke) who chairs the House Education Committee. “It was really refresh ing to see Ed come in with his background. He didn't have the usual educational doublespeak.” Crawford recalls attending a meeting of the Commission on Higher Education Funding. Colodny explained all his expens es and informed the commission that that was exactly what he was going to ask for in his budget. “You could have heard the collec tive chins of the whole education al establishment hit the table at one time,” says Crawford. “But then you look at him and he makes you a believer. - “By the time he was here for a while, people were wondering if he’d stick around and run for governor when Howard Dean was done,” Crawford adds. W hen Colodny left UVM, a move was afoot to honor him with a thank-you gift. Colodny asked that any contributions go instead toward the purchase of a new piano for the rpusic depart ment. The fundraising effort — kicked off by Colodny and his wife, Nancy — resulted in a new $80,000 Steinway grand piano. When revelations surfaced last year that Fletcher Allen’s $173.4 million Renaissance Project had ballooned to more than double its original estimate, Burlington’s most trusted crisis manager was there again to sort through the wreckage. At an age when most people are content to retire to a life of quiet anonymity, Colodny once again threw himself into the thick of it — this time to resurrect the good name of the hospital where he had been born 76 years before. “[Public trust] has been erod ed, but we’re rebuilding it,” Colodny says simply. “The good news here is that the issues did not involve the performance of the rank-and-file, the physicians, nurses, staff. We were fortunate that the product, patient care, was still intact.” It’s still hard to say what Colodny’s long-term impact on Fletcher Allen will be. Like the scar in the ground, the damage is deep and won’t be healed quickly. Last week, the hospital announced it had lost nearly $5 million in its first fiscal quarter and warned of staff layoffs and other belt-tight ening measures. “I could be saying I’m entitled to be retired. Instead, my goal is to recycle,” Colodny says. “I think it’s a matter of what makes you feel good. Some people get to the point when they’re delighted to be out of dealing with things. I haven’t gotten there yet.” So, what’s the secret to his suc cess? Maybe it’s nothing more than following those simple rules we learned in kindergarten: Be nice, pay attention, play by the rules, tell the truth, listen to others and always clean up your own mess. Or, in Ed Colodny’s case, everyone else’s.

T STORY

SUSAN G REEN IMAGE

JE B W A LLA C E BRODEUR

he first thing you w ant to know about Pitz Q uattrone is how he got that name, which has just the right show-biz pizzazz for a radio guy. “It’s w hat my grandm other always called m e,” explains the disc jockey w ith W G D R , a non-comm ercial FM station in Plainfield. P itzigini is an Italian w ord for making a baby smile by grabbing his or her cheeks and planting a big kiss. “I’d laugh like crazy when my family did that to m e,” he says. “So even though I was born A nthony John, I became ‘Pitzi.’” Although Q uattrone means four-sided or square, he seems anything but. W ith shaggy brown hair held back by a headband and a bushy graying beard confined to his chin, the 40-year-old East M ont pelier resident exhibits an unmistakable hippie aes thetic. His look suits the station, where a framed picture by New Yorker cartoonist Ed Koren o f Brookfield depicts several fuzzy DJ creatures speak ing into microphones from rocking chairs arranged

T he station he joined two m onths ago has entered a new era. Efforts are underway to profes sionalize the 920-w att broadcast operation, which is owned by G oddard College b ut m uch beloved by the surrounding community. In June, W G D R — 91.1 on the dial — will celebrate its 30th anniver sary. Those three decades reflect a history o f survival against the odds: O ngoing budget problems at the 65-year-old progressive liberal arts school have often kept local radio on the endangered species list. W hen the board o f trustees decided last sum m er to eliminate G oddard’s traditional residency pro gram, W G D R was faced w ith possible term ination as well. T he college continues to cover salaries for the only two paid radio employees: full-time gener al manager A m anda Gustafson and three-quartertim e assistant manager Bert Lunder. But in November the station took over responsibility for raising its own operational expenses. T he price tag for this fiscal year: $15,000.

N ow the station relies on more than 60 non-stu dent volunteers who serve in administrative posi tions and as unpaid “programmers” — Gustafson explains th at’s the preferred term for on-air people, rather than “DJs,” because they each produce their own shows.

Quattrone found the WDGR job description rather appealing after his abrupt dismissal in the beginning o f February from T he Point. T he M ontpelier-based FM station, once known by the call letters W N C S, has experienced a frantic tu rn over o f personnel since the summer. Some quit and others were fired as the once nonconform ist radio enterprise reached for an ever-more-mainstream commercial sound, according to m any former employees. “This one goes o u t to Bush and Rumsfeld,” Q uattrone says into a W G D R m icrophone, after

Q uattrone’s weekly 90-m inute show, “Pitz’s Picks: A Radio Revolution,” is as unconventional as its host. O n a Friday afternoon in early April, he segues from a lilting version o f “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” cbm bined w ith “W hat a W onderful W orld,” by Hawaii’s Israel Kamakawiwools, to “Let the Children Play,” by Jamaica’s Eek a Mouse. A series o f contem porary Ben H arper tunes like “Pleasure and Pain” rubs shoulders w ith the 1966 Phil O chs anti-Vietnam War anthem , “I Ain’t M archin’ Anymore” — one o f several songs played as com m entary on the current Iraqi conflict. T he playlist is all over the map. “I hate categories and formats and labels,” Q uat trone says. “W G D R is all live, almost all volunteer. T hat’s why things are sometimes a little sketchy. But it’s free-form radio. I can do whatever I w ant.”

Perhaps an appropriate tag for a guy w ith four sides, his 4A is nominally Alternative to A dult Album Alternative, but he acknowledges it’s a stretch to quadruple the first letter of the alphabet. “Maybe it should really be AEM, for A dult Eclectic M usic,” Q uattrone notes, while choosing a David Lindley cut. “O n Triple A, you hear the same songs over and over. I w ant radio to change. T his is my voice to do th at.” H e pledges to keep it fresh and artistically relevant. “M y for m at is listener-friendly and treats the public w ith respect,” Q uattrone w rote in a “Pitz’s Picks” press release. “This is all pre sented w ithout redundant, shallow pop songs, tired classic rock or sub-par songwriting.” T he Pennsylvania native earned an associate’s degree iri filmmaking from Bucks C ounty C om m unity College and was a per cussionist w ith the Raucous Brothers, a band he co-founded in 1987. “We played New Orleans rhythm ‘n’ blues, zydeco, funk, reggae, world beat, rock ‘n’ roll,” he remembers, “— kind o f like my show.” Q uattrone was a DJ at a New Jersey radio station from 1990 to 1993. T h at’s about the same tim e he discovered the didgeridoo. Five years ago, he settled in Vermont and tried to pay his bills by making, selling, playing and teaching others to play the ancient instrum ent o f Australia’s Aboriginal peoples. Q uattrone and his wife, Amy Torchia, have a daughter: Tillie Pearl is now five, so those bills m ust have included the cost o f pediatricians, baby food and diapers. “W hen the didg thing died in May 2001,” as he puts it, Q uattrone made furniture for a firm in Maple Corners. By early fall o f that year, T he Point had recruited him to start a reggae program, Zion Train, that became a Sunday night feature. The show was dropped after a year, but he was rehired in November 2002-to fill a week-night shift that would last less than three months. Now Q uattrone balances the W G D R gig w ith his wage-earn ing furniture responsibilities, in addition to a side career enacting character voices — he’s got dozens o f them — for ads or audio books. This sum m er he plans to launch T he Casual, O rganic DJ, a mobile music business to provide entertainm ent at weddings and other events.

C R E A T IO N

PR A YE R

(Self-released, CD) Solo pianist Cody Michaels' latest disc is a slow journey through 11 contemplative keyboard compositions. The tone here is very much in line with the works of New-Age label Windham Hill — from the tinkling ivories to the requisite sunrise cover shot, and Michaels seems pretty content to leave it that way. While the hokey title and shout-outs to "kindred spirits, sunsets, clouds, gentle rain" and the like may strike many listeners as a bit hippie-dippy, Michaels excels at creating pleasant pastoral instrumentals. Tunes like "The Lonely Traveler," "Just Before Dark" and "Amongst the Clouds" blur into a pretty — if fairly dull — flow, with Michaels never aiming for much more than blissful back ground music. Variety's in short supply, but fans of George Winston or those looking for a soundtrack to their latest psychic reading probably won't be disappointed. This Friday, Michaels performs at Lyndon State College.

(Self-released, CD) Athens, Georgia, duo Dromedary put a new spin on the world music sound. Rather than focusing on one particular region or era, Andrew Reissiger and Rob McMaken have tuned their ears to all corners of the globe. From Ukrainian to Celtic, African and Spanish traditions, Reissiger and McMaken cruise through a veritable history of folk music. Their latest disc, recorded live at two Athens joints, is a no-strings-attached glimpse at the pair's overwhelming musical talent. The two rip through a dozen melodic, midtempo workouts with mandolin, Appalachian dulcimer, charango and guitar. Tunes like "Klezmer Girl," "Valsa," and the two versions of "Ukrainian Stom p" showcase dizzying fretboard mastery, while downtempo cuts like "Charangabia" swing with a subtle grace. For the rockers in the crowd, they even include a fascinating instrumental run through Radiohead's alt-rock gem "Airbag." Recommended for fans of finely-crafted music, no matter where it hails from. Dromedary hit the stage this Saturday at Radio Bean.

■CAT POWER, YOU ARE FREE (Matador Records, CD) Cat Power's sixth record, You Are Free, is another collection of melancholic pop nuggets from one of indie-rock's finest young songwriters. Five years after her last disc of original material, Chan Marshall (pronounced "Shaw n"), returns with what may be her strongest and most mature effort yet. Marshall has been very forthright about the many insecurities that have plagued her career as a musician. Painfully shy, she has an erratic and uncomfortable stage presence that's gar nered her a rep as a difficult musician. And the sheer emotional capacity of her songs starkly contrasts with the banality of much modern rock. With You Are Free, however, Marshall seems to have quieted her demons. The album exudes a sort of modest confidence. Musically and lyrically, the Atlanta native's latest disc reveals an artist who's learning to have fun without blushing and to touch on the less pleasant side of life without being swallowed up by darkness. The album begins with the ringing piano chords of " I Don't Blame You." With her distinctive molasses drawl, Marshall describes the sad life of a burned-out performer. But she turns desola tion into charmingly cathartic wistfulness. The.title trackldcks into a jumpy dance with crunchy acoustic guitar licks, winding organs and punchy drums. Once again, Marshall confronts a broken musician, intoning, "D on't be in love with the autograph / just be in love when you love that song all night long." "Good Woman" completes the trilogy of future Cat Power classics that open the album. A lonesome country heartbreaker, the tune contrasts Marshall's lightly fuzzed electric guitar pick ing with the fractured violin of Warren Ellis, leader of Aussie art-instrumentalists Dirty Three. Simple, heartfelt and frighteningly direct, the song sums up the true power of Marshall's song writing. " I want to be a good woman," she sings with a tearful defiance. "And I want for you to be a good man / This is why I will be leaving / This is why I can't see you no more." Deliciously understated harmonies from Eddie Vedder, of all folks, add to the song's tender immediacy. Elsewhere, Foo Fighter Dave Grohl drops in to add drums to "Speak For Me," and "He War." Though the rockers' appearances show that Marshall has made some powerful friends, the songs on You Are Free are never bogged down by the presence of A-list stars. The majority of the disc is typical Cat Power: slow, contemplative and powerfully poetic. "Names," with its sharp, matter-of-fact lyrics about child abuse and teenage depression, presents a new level of emotional complexity, even for this queen of darkness. Overall, you can't blame Chan Marshall for the growing gap between her releases. Though it's hard to keep waiting for a new disc, when the albums come out with this much quality and emotion, it's hard not to let Marshall take her own sweet, slow time. This Friday, Cat Power heads to Higher Ground for a gig with The Cush and Entrance.

f there’s any tru th to the real-estate adage “location, location, location,” the Phoenix Gallery at the corner on College Street and South W inooski Avenue in Burlington is likely to become one o f the areas* m ost pro m i nent venues. It’s a com m odious and well-lit exhibition space that has already presented several prom inent artists from V ermont and around the world. T his m onth’s exhibition, “Vanishing Landscapes,” introduces two realist painters from the M idAtlantic region; John M cG iff and Scott W right. Both are masterful technicians w ho are not afraid to pro duce large-scale work. M cG iff’s collection consists o f well-composed views o f single-family farms in Delaware and M aryland. M any o f his pieces are rectangular, horizontal canvasses that measure up to about 2 ’ x 5’ and he works w ith those proportions beautifully. In “Lyman Farm # 1 ,” M cG iff builds the scene w ith a com plex aggregation o f angled lines. T h e farm buildings’ steep roof lines are fram ed w ithin the picture plane by a large rectangle cre ated by power lines and utility poles. If it were distilled into pure geom et ric abstraction, “Lyman Farm # 1 ” w ould seem like a Russian Suprem atist painting o f the Revolutionary era. But M cG iff does not make purely abstract statements. His images ideal ize small-farm life w ith clean, almost acidic hues. “‘36 Chevy at Lyman Farm” presents a w orn-out, weathered pick-up truck behind a shed. It’s not about decadence, it’s just a friendly, bug-eyed lawn ornam ent. T he horses in “Lovett Farm I” have just enough stylization to bring Thom as H art Benton to m ind. M cG iff’s farms seem prosperous and tidy com pared to the hardscrabble

dairy farms seen in Vermont. His pas tures are almost always green, and his skies are almost always blue. An excep tion to the blue-sky rule is “Sheltzer Farm II,” in which storm y clouds hang low over a pair of shackywy ffcky barns. This piece also has stronger tw o-point perspective than m ost o f his other compositions. It adds a bit o f tension to the scene. In contrast to M cG iff’s composi-

reflection o f sunlight on an expanse o f water below as well as b urnt sienna patches in the accompanying marsh. W right also has a diptych and a triptych in the show. At roughly 4 ’ x 10’, the diptych, entitled “Flying Up the M iddle,” is a simple portrayal o f a channel with brown and reddish banks moving toward blue-white open water. T he scene seems to be set in early spring or late fall, as there is no

John McGiff and Scott Wright are both masterful technicians who are not afraid to produce largescale work. tions, W right’s pieces eschew linear perspective. Instead he uses aerial per spective, creating distances w ith pro gressively lighter hue values. His pieces seem somewhat pale in com parison to M cG iff’s, but his brushw ork is more active. T he majority o f W right’s landscapes were painted from photographs shot from airplanes and he seems particu larly drawn to marshes and coastal areas. W right’s horizon lines are often sharply angled from the edges o f his canvasses. “W ing, W heel, and M arsh” and “W ing and Sunspot” are two steeply sloped airplane views from about 8,000 feet. Both are large-scale oils, and the wing o f W right’s airplane looms down from the upper right o f each image, providing foreground space. These landscapes include pale greens, lavender and cerulean blue. In “W ing and Sunspot” there’s a yellow

h in t o f greenery. “Converging Channels Triptych” is a smaller piece, about 5 feet long, portraying channels entering a broad river. W right occa sionally paints the H udson River, and “Converging Channels Triptych” may be an aviator’s view o f that historic waterway. T he high point o f W right’s land scape collection is a notable departure from m ost river scenes. “Yin Yang C hannel” looks directly beneath the plane, at a bending waterway making a large “S” curve. T he shadows o f trees variegate the river’s hues along one side o f its green, densely wooded banks. T h e Phoenix Gallery makes a nice addition to the local visual art scene, and “V anishing Landscapes” is a m ust-see show for V erm ont land scape painters and collectors o f that genre. ®

SHO RTS ABOUT SCHMIDT-*'*1" Jack N icholson

P h o n e B o o th ★ ★ 1/z

BOOTH BRO THER Farrell h a n g s W h itak er up in J o el Schu m acher's n ew s u s p e n s e fe s t.

ust exactly how has Joel Schumacher earned a place atop Hollywood’s line up o f A-list directors? A guy comes to a meeting and adm its responsibility for the Mr. T vehicle D C Cab and The Incredible Shrinking Woman, along w ith D ying Young, and studio execs say oh please, do helm a couple o f Batm an sequels. A nd when you get a second, how about this years-in-the-making thriller concerning a fellow trapped in a phone booth by a sniper? T he film maker m ust be related to someone real im portant. O r at least have incrimi nating photos o f them. Sure, he’s made a decent film or two: Falling D own and...O K , sure, he’s made a decent film. But so have hun dreds, o f other filmmakers. I find it difficult to understand why Schu macher’s even considered commercial ly viable at this point. M ust have som ething to do w ith the fact that, despite the reality that his movies usu ally suck, he somehow manages to lure commercially viable talent. Flatliners featured a young Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon and Kiefer Sutherland. More recendy, Flawless teamed Philip Seymour Hoffm an w ith Robert De N iro and still w ent virtually straight to video. Is there even one other director dead or alive who’s succeeded in get ting “De N iro” and “straight to video” . into the same sentence? Phone Booth was scheduled to hit theaters m onths ago when the exploits o f the D .C . snipers put it on hold. Perennially on-the-verge-of-superstardom Irish im port C olin Farrell plays a fast-talking, self-impressed publicist.

We watch early on as he does a little razzle dazzle w ith his ceil phone jug gling a couple o f magazine editors and snagging a cover shot for one o f his clients. In a m atter o f minutes, he’s speed-dialed two others into a m en tion in a society colum n and a party at an exclusive nightspot. T he character’s supposed to come off as an obnoxious poser but, I don’t know, he seemed efficient enough to me. Kiefer Sutherland doesn’t think quite so highly o f him. H e costars as a sinister figure w ith nothing better to do than follow people around, eaves drop on their mobile phone conversa tions until they reveal indiscretions or unethical acts and then target them from his apartm ent window like an avenging angel w ith a high powered rifle and scope. H e knows, for example, that Farrell is married but stops into the same booth at the same tim e most days to place a call to a young woman he’s prim ing for an affair. W hen Farrell hangs up after making the call on this particular day, the phone rings and he picks it up. For the next hour or so, Sutherland keeps him on the line con fronting him w ith ugly truths about him self and threatening to pull the trigger if he tries to leave or tell any one w hat’s happening. A nd that causes problems when someone nearby does get shot, w it nesses assume Farrell is responsible and police show up. Forest W hitaker is the cop whose job it is to talk the increasingly frazzled publicist out o f the booth. Initially he can’t figure out

w hat to make o f his suspect, who refuses to get off the phone or reveal w ho’s on the other end o f the line. T he film’s suspense arises from the question o f w hether he’ll be able to p ut the pieces together before either the sniper or one o f his own sharp shooters blows Farrell’s head off. T he situation is suspenseful and unique enough to hold our attention for a time. Well in advance o f the pic ture’s climactic moments, however, it deteriorates into melodramatic talkiness. As a result, Schumacher appears to have felt compelled to pull lots o f last m inute silliness out o f his hat. T he film’s final half-dozen or so develop ments come off as embarrassingly incredible and contrived. Farrell does a craftsmanlike job o f gradually unraveling. But once again, predictions o f im m inent superstardom are sure to prove premature. T he director lends the picture a visual snazziness which substitutes for liveli ness. But that’s not why people buy tickets to a movie like this. And Sutherland, o f course, has done this same badass psycho thing so many times it’s fitting that his performance is phoned in. Phone Booth isn’t totally w ithout merit. At the same time, there doubt less are directors waiting by the phone who are capable o f making something far more significant from its script. T he producers decided to go with Schumacher, though. Like so many before, they m ust be asking themselves w hether they made the right call. ®

ity poor N ick Nolte. His talent is regular ly eclipsed by alleged forays into some sort o f substance abuse. N ow he’ll be for ever haunted by evidence o f a bad-hair day in the m ug shot taken a few m onths ago during a bust for driving under the influence. It’s a familiar Hollywood curse. Yet the actor conquers — or perhaps channels — his dem ons to deliver a rivet ing perform ance in The Good Thief, a film that opened last week in m ajor cities outside Vermont.

o f glamour. H e walks a tightrope with unexpected grace for a m an who has already hit bottom . After shooting up in the bathroom o f a strip joint, Bob manages to save a 17year-old Bosnian girl from enforced pros titution by fighting w ith a pim p to retrieve her passport. Played by N utsa Kukhianidze, A nne becomes enam oured o f him , but we’re led to believe she may have ulterior motives. Plus, there’s almost a five-decade gap between them . Bob steers clear o f rom antic entanglem ent until she turns 18 later in the narrative. T he relationship is hardly age-appropri ate, b ut at least it’s n o t precisely pedophilia. Bob has two more imm ediate dilem mas: cops and money. His every move looks suspicious to a world-weary detec tive (Tcheky Karyo). These m en circle each other w ith clever repartee, b ut the good th ief is always a few steps ahead — 12 o f them at one point, when he evades his police tail by ducking in anjji out o f an Alcoholics A nonymous meeting. In this movie, the tru th is always elu sive. W hen Bob sells his cherished Picasso to a shady art dealer (Ralph Fiennes), the exchange is accom panied by a tall tale about how the painting was w on from Pablo him self in a 1969 bull- .. fight bet. T he provenance is question able, o f course, b ut the proceeds are used to finance an elaborate casino heist in M onte Carlo. Shades o f Ocean's Of*

sic titled Bob le Flambeur. This blackand-white cousin to the French Nouvelle Vague o f the same era concerns an aging bank robber w ith a penchant for crime and a unique code o f honor. T he full-color update features N olte as a similarly decrepit gambler and con man plagued by a nasty heroin habit. H e’s a walking Tom Waits song, b ut the sound track begins w ith music that seems M iddle Eastern or African in a score by composer Elliot Goldenthal, w ho just won an Oscar for Frida. Interm ittent Leonard Cohen vocals give the project a m ournful McCabe and Mrs. Miller feel, although this is ultimately a less tragic tale. T he cinematography, by the great Chris Menges, suggests a multicultural Nice that isn’t always so nice. T he city encompasses num erous contradictions: high and low life, breathtaking vistas and decadence, vast wealth and desperation. These are perfect contrasts for Jordan, who has explored the consequences o f intense yearning in previous work such as Mona Lisa and The Crying Game. N olte’s raspy voice and deeply lined face somehow lend the 21st-century Bob a charisma th at’s way beyond any notion

T he robbery dream team in this case includes a technology expert portrayed w ith cigar-chomping perfection by Yugoslavian director-actor Emir Kusturica. Am ong the other accomplices: a transsexual weightlifter w ith debilitating arachnophobia and identical twins whose flim-flam skills outshine those o f their fellow crooks. Jordan positions all o f these under world associates so th at the authorities and the audience are never quite sure about the true aim o f the complex caper. Several switcheroos keep everyone off-kil ter, until a surprise conclusion that would be far more satisfying if that reprobate senior citizen N ick N olte didn’t get the teenage girl. • You m a y h a v e s e e n

"Farewell to the old me, my life is working better now," sings Dar Williams on her latest master piece, The Beauty of the Rain. Once a coterie among the coffee house Crowd, the "pleasingly plain-spoken" songstress has clearly become a mainstream name in pop circles. Jam masters Bela Fleck, John Popper and Medeski deliver solid backup on Beauty. But "the New Englander has never sounded so completely in her own waters; lush soundscapes breathing wetly beneath her elegant, operatic groove and seductively conversational vocals," offers the Boston Globe. "The CD feels like one long, lov ing lullaby for lives in trouble, peppered with useful wisdom." Williams is joined by The Ben Taylor Band, headed by the off spring of James Taylor and Carly Simon.

drama 'OH, VICTORIA': This one-w om an m usical te lls th e Thursday m orning, am id an array of free p astries, coffee and fruit, a cadre of well-dressed people sporting "Coalition for a Tobacco Free Vermont" stickers discussed the perils of tobacco use. Citizen lobbyists and suited government employees eddied around a table of anti-tobacky literature and "Quit Line" success stories. One of the hot topics du jour was the "Cabaret Exemption" in the Clean Indoor Air Act, which allows smoking in restaurants and bars whose revenues come primarily from alcohol sales and entertainment. As of last week, you can no longer light up in bars in New York City. Vermont is way behind the curve on this one. Among the suited and stickered was Bruce Cunningham, "indepen dent advocate" and long-time tobacco cessationist. He opposes Gov. Douglas' plan to redirect settlement funds from the Tobacco Control Program — which funds local and statewide "quit and prevention pro grams" — to treat heroin addicts. Although TCP people are concerned about heroin, they don't want to see their funds bled into other pro jects. Documentary filmmaker Bess O'Brien, who made a movie about

the Vermont problem, supports a proposal to create a tax on alcohol that would fund heroin abuse and treatment programs, but Gov. Douglas refuses to create new taxes. The settlement is not a stable revenue source; it's been decreasing

since 1998. Vermont's Attorney General Bill Sorrell says that at the time of the settlement Vermont expected to receive $30 million a year "in perpetuity," but already the figure has declined to around $25 mil lion. The money states receive from the settlement is directly tied to national tobacco sales. Since 1998, those sales have declined 20 per cent. As anti-smoking advocates wryly observe, 'T he more successful

we are, the less money comes in." Sorrell would like to see more of Vermont's settlement go toward "fighting tobacco." Still, compared to other states, "Vermont has a good story to tell." Here, all settlement funds are used for public health. In other states, roads have been paved with settlement dollars. North Carolina subsidizes ailing tobacco farms. Montana built a morgue. — Karen Shimizu

Transgender people are experiencing increased prominence in mainstream areas like politics, entertainment and even religion. But there's still a lot of confusion — and, tragically, hostility — when sex lines are blurred. Organizers of a daylong conference at the University of Vermont are hoping to make the concept of gender identity easy for everyone to understand, says Caitlin Daniel-McCarter, president of UVM student club Free To Be 6LBTA (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance). Panels, workshops and discussions will explore everything from "The Basics" to "The Transition," while addressing phobias, allies and activism. Keynote speaker Riki Wilchins, one of Time magazine's picks for top 100 innovators of the 21st century, fuels the finale with "Ending Gender Stereotypes." "She translates transgender issues into everyone's issues," says Daniel-McCarter. "Gender expectations affect us all, whether we like it or not."

As the "mother of modern dance in Mainland .China," Wen Hui has almost single-handedly nurtured the cause of experimental expression in the strictly patriarchal People's Republic. Operating without support from the country's creativity-suppressing arts systems, the dance diva's Living Dance Studio has been pushing the performance envelope for close to a decade. Co-founded by Hui and groundbreaking filmmaker Wu Wenguang, China's first independent dance and theater company delivers a female-focused fusion of seductive movement, provocative video and alluring lighting. Making its American premiere at the Flynn, Report on Body explores the changing relationship between Chinese women and their bodies. "Women continue to be commodities and are not liberated at all," says Hui.

N 0T -S 0-R E M 0T E CONTROL? One media company — Clear Channel — owns 1200 radio stations in the United States. The Federal Communications Commission is considering de-regulation proposals that would let it expand to eight radio stations in a single market. The FCC may also relax the laws so that in a small city like Burlington, the daily newspaper can also buy up radio and television stations. "In my view, this is a dangerous trend," suggests Rep. Bernie Sanders. "The reality now is that a handful of huge media conglomerates, with enormous conflicts of interest, largely determine the information that the average American receives." Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps lends credi bility to the congressman's case at a "town meeting" that explores the impact mega media mergers have on cultural vitality, competition and freedom of speech.

3 4 B I a p r il 0 9 -1 6 , 2 0 0 3 I SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology APRIL 1 0 - 1 6

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I’ve been scouring herbal textbooks and tantric literature to find out if there’s such a thing as a labor-intensive aphrodisiac — in other words, a stimulus that would inspire you to work hard to become a fantastic lover. I’m not saying your amorous skills are inferior, Aries, just that there’s room for improvement. The coming weeks will be an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to apply yourself to this worthy project. And if I do run across that laborintensive aphrodisiac, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, pursue the leads that your intuition provides. And remember this: The capacities that make you a great lover have only marginally to do with physical techniques and mostly to do with emotional intelligence and spiritual ingenuity.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): The astrological factors coming to bear on you right now are uproari ous yet profound; they’re mischie vous, intense and catalytic. In align ment with this spirit, I’ve composed your horoscope by channeling appropriate bumper sticker slogans. Repeat the following affirmations frequently, Taurus, or print them on pieces of paper and tape them to your back. “Don’t follow me; I’m following my bliss.” . “I’m not tense — just terribly, terribly alert.” “I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.” “I’m talking to myself — please don’t eavesdrop.” “Don’t worry — it only seems kinky the first time.” “Warning: I have an Attitude and I know how to use it.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): How to be the best Gemini you can be? A reader named Shimmering Elf

wrote eloquently about that topic. His words should be helpful as you face this week’s Gemini-enhancing tests. “Be amazed with and in awe of yourself,” Shimmering Elf began. “And try to keep doing new things to justify your amazement and awe. Be like the Native American heyoka who rode his horse backward, wear ing only an apron in a blizzard, with sweat running down his chest. Talk to yourself; people can join in if they want to. Have a large papier mache ego; redecorate it often. Be like Grandmother Spider who created the world by imagining it. Be like Pygmalion and fall in love with your creation. Never imitate. Be a tricky, sticky tickler. No one will ever solve the Sphinx’s precious riddle if she doesn’t know the answer herself.”

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): It’s time to go straight to the source, Cancerian. Eliminate the middlemen — and the middlewomen, too. Don’t believe anyone who claims that he alone can connect you with the valuable stuff you need. As much as possible, wean yourself from translators, agents and brokers. And don’t worry: This won’t result in your becoming lonely and isolated. I predict that whenever you shed a relationship with someone who uses and exploits you, you’ll open the way for a new link with a person who is respectful of your gifts.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In a recent article in a British tabloid, Leo diva Madonna spoke contritely about why she published the contro versial book Sex back in 1992. “I was just being an ego-driven nutcase,” she confessed. This admission impressed me. Everyone makes bad decisions motivated by out-of-control egotism, but few of us have the courage to admit it — let alone a celebrity that the press regards as a megalomaniac. I suggest you draw

inspiration from Madonna’s example in the next few days, Leo. If you cop to a past outbreak of unseemly arro gance, I predict you’ll unleash magic that will ultimately spawn fresh accomplishments for which you can be righteously proud.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Famed TV producer Sherwood Schwartz had a hand in making more than 700 TV shows, and he co-authored theme songs for the sit coms “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Brady Bunch.” Every year he collects about $60,000 in royalties for those tunes, written so many years ago. I’d like to alert you, Virgo, to the fact that you’re now in a phase similar to the one Schwartz was in when he got inspired to compose those long-term money-makers. It’s time to create a legacy for yourself.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his book Crying: A Natural and Cultural History o f Tears., Tom Lutz asserts that people don’t cry as much as they used to. The English of the Victorian era, supposedly renowned for their stuffy behavior, put us to shame with their abundant outpour ing of tears. So what’s our excuse? There’s as much, if not more, to be mournful about nowadays; and we certainly don’t suffer from a lack of events to spur our cathartic joy and empathy. Would you like to volun teer to do something about the mod ern weeping deficit, Libra? In the coming days, you’ll have rich oppor tunities to unleash tears of break through and release.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I direct your attention, Scorpio, to Dawn Baumann Brunke’s book, Animal Voices: Telepathic Communication in the Web o fLife. There she champions the value of communing clairvoyantly with other species. Learning this skill is not

only helpful for becoming closer to beloved pets, she says. It can also be useful for pest control. She gives examples of people who rid their homes of ants and spider mites sim ply by striking up telepathic conver sations with them. My theory is that this same approach can be applied to pests in human form — especially by you in the coming week. Rev up your considerable mental powers, and psychically ask jerks, annoyances and bores to stop bugging you.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When I recorded my last music CD, a major label spent $180,000 on my band’s recording sessions at a state-of-the-art studio. The resulting music was exciting, but sales were paltry due to the com pany’s inept marketing strategy. The new album I’m working on with my friend George is low-tech and selffinanced, done completely on his computer in his bedroom. The expe rience is humbling but exhilarating. I’m free of my old rock star fantasies. Thete’s no danger of having to deal with the alienating influences of fame, constant travel and the insani ty of the music business. I have the relaxing luxury of creating music just because it’s fun. I recommend that you make a comparable transition, Sagittarius. Which of your aptitudes and inclinations would you enjoy more if they weren’t hemmed in by unrealistic dreams, oppressive duties, and the stultifying pressures of careerism?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Your horoscope this week consists of the words of poet Mary Oliver, whose “White Pine” describes an experience analogous to one you’ll soon have: “I have read that, in Africa, when the body of an antelope, which all its life ate only leaves and grass and drank nothing but wild water, is first opened, the

fragrance is almost too sweet, too delicate, too beautiful to be borne. It is a moment which hunters must pass through carefully, with concen trated and even religious attention, if they are to reach the other side, and go on with their individual lives.”

AQUARIUS Gan. 20-Feb. 18): While out on a walk, I laughed with incredulity and derision when I spied a front yard where gorgeous poppies and tulips were in full bloom — surrounded by an eightfoot-tall cage of chicken wire. Once my instinctive response subsided, I realized there was probably a rational reason for the apparent lunacy, like maybe it kept the flowers from being devoured by marauding deer. My next thought leaped to you, Aquarius. I knew that the fortress protecting the delicate blooms was a perfect metaphor for what you should create for yourself in the coming week.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Feeling bereft because of the war, I found myself longing to connect with sources of inspiration that have fueled me over the years. I scoured closets, shelves and storage lockers, collecting power objects from every period of my life. They included the books I’ve written and C.G. Jung’s Psychology and Alchemy, photos of my daughter and the woman I love, a painting made for me by a friend, my favorite baseball card from child hood, and many other treasures. In the ensuing days, I made the freaky discovery that five other people I know had independently felt the urge to undertake a similar gather ing. A ritual like this would be per fect for you right now, Pistes. I sug gest you assemble 22 of your most important symbols and create a sanc tuary to protect you from the world’s chaos. (Z)

LO LA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am an avid reader of the Seven Days personals, and I feel as if I'm pretty good at understanding all the abbrevi ations that go into them. But one bit of terminology has me mystified. What is "420?" Muddled in Milton Dear Muddled, Funny you should ask. I was just wondering the same thing myself. Here are some theories. Theory #1: There are 420 amorous approaches described in the Kama Sutra. People describing themselves as "420-friendly" enjoy all of them, soup to nuts. Theory #2: "420" is a nickname for just one sexual position, the way "69" is. If you're into standing on one hand in a kiddie pool full of gummy worms while people dressed like cowboys take turns feather-dusting your bare butt, "420" ads are for you. Theory #3: "420" is the opposite of that other mysterious phrase, "substance-free." If you want to part ner up with a flesh-and-bones being — someone you can really sink your teeth into — look for the "420." Theory #4a: "420" should actually be written either 4:20 or 4/20. Popularized by Deadheads, it reinter prets traditional tea time as an opportunity for a different kind of herbal relaxation. Especially on April 20. Theory #4b: "420" is the police code for a marijuana bust. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I know one of these theories is correct, but at the moment, my memory's a little hazy. Good luck! Love, Lola
