Other than your self, if you could clone anyone — living or dead — who would that be? My wife. I know it sounds corny, but we were childhood sweet hearts. We met when she was 14 and I was 15. We’ve been married 31 years. We’re best friends. What would I actually do with two of her? Let’s not go there. — Steve Plouff Owner, Plouff's Monument Co. St. Albans My grandfather.

open readings against each other — and there are real differences — the fact is that there are also important similarities: Both are democratic, cheap (or free), intergenerational and anti-authoritari an.

EPIC POETRY, NOT HAIKU As one of the organizers of the Poets Mimeo exhibit and readings held this month at the Rhombus, I appreciated the coverage given to these events by Erik Esckilsen [“Time Passages,” April 11]. However, there was one major inaccuracy which skewed the whole piece — that the “Poets Mimeo story was brief— more like a haiku, really.,.” Even more unfortunate was the layout person’s choice to use this sentence as a pull-out quote. The truth is that the readings began in 1972, and though they changed venues occasionally, they didn’t end when Tinker Greene left Burlington in 1979. In fact, read ings went on regularly, usually at the Firehouse, until 1998. Over those 26 years, attendance rose and fell and rose again, but the open ness of the readings was consistent, a rare and welcoming thing, given the nasty cliques that are the norm for the literary world, in and out of academia. Open readings, as well as those with headliners, continue at Rhombus, where Marc Awodey and Cathy Resmer, as well as slammers Shannon Williams, Kim Jordan, and Seth Jarvis, have estab lished a lively scene over the last few years. And in spite of the attempt to pit the slams and the

FTAA HARMS VERMONT Despite promises to the con trary, many analyses show that hundreds of thousands of well-pay ing jobs in the U.S. and Canada were lost as capital moved freely to low-wage parts of the globe after NAFTA passed in 1995. Vermont has lost over 1600 jobs because of NAFTA. Plus, it has taken away our ability to enforce environmen tal laws. For example, the Clean Air Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act are among U.S. laws that have been weakened under free trade. And here comes the FTAA with an even broader reach. The FTAA will even extend free trade concepts to our public services. I think most of us acknowledge some role for the government in protecting public health, the environment, basic human rights and a fair justice sys-

My father. He died two years ago at age 83. He raised seven children but alw ays made each of us feel like the special one. — Pete L’Esperance Owner, Chim ney SweepTwo Berlin

FTAA is only beginning. The trade agreement has been worked out in secret for the last five years. However, the public fight is just getting started. Now we must turn our attention to Washington. Pressure needs to be put on Con* gress to resist “fast track” approval of the FTAA which will be sought by President Bush. This disastrous, secretive agreement must be kept off the law books. In the year 2001, can’t we look at fair trade? Trade that protects workers, our fragile environment and creates jobs and wealth for the majority of people? It’s time we did. To get us there we need more progressive leaders. After all, NAFTA was given to us when there was a Democrat in the White House. — Ellen David-Friedman East Montpelier Ellen David-Friedman is a “general ist”at Vermont - NEA.

tern. The FTAA threatens to undermine democratically con trolled public services through pri vatization. Already UPS has filed suit against the Canadian Postal Service, claiming their postal ser vice is a barrier to free trade. What’s next? Schools run by CocaCola and Walt Disney? Or the State Police run for a profit instead of as a public service? The FTAA could make our public schools, social services, jails, roads and communication systems ripe for corporate takeover. For those of us concerned with labor and consumer rights, this feels like a big and powerful train coming right at us. It is a daunting prospect, when you’re working to reshape the future along more humanistic lines. But there’s reason for some deep-seated optimism. Thousands of trade unionists, reli gious leaders and human rights activists from Vermont and around the world are demonstrating oppo sition to the negotiations. In par ticular they are challenging the excessively non-democratic and secretive nature of the FTAA nego tiations. Many times throughout histo ry, direct mobilization of regular citizens has reshaped the course of politics. As chances arise to do that I am made hopeful. Don’t forget, the battle over the

Moment of Truth?

Angeles. Not a word since. Thornburg departed Gannett and landed in Utah. Diebolt returned to Detroit, and Metzger got a transfer to a Gannett paper in Chillicothe, Ohio. In 1998 she got an upgrade to managing editor in Marion, Indiana. Despite all its self-serving preaching on journalistic ethics, Gannett obviously overlooked Ms. Metzger’s admission of gross dishonesty. After all, it had been for a good cause — Gannett. Ms. Metzger, by the way, did not respond this week to our request for an interview. Last week the company she once lied under oath to protect awarded her its highest editorial prize. That’s the way the world goes round.

Unlike David MoatS of the Herald, the story of Juli Metzger’s journalistic suc cess is one that runs from a low point of admitted deceit in Vermont to the glory of award-winning editorial excellence in Indiana.

Optimist of the Year When polite warnings failed to end corruption in Bangkok, Samak Sundaravej, mayor of the Thai capital, took a tougher tack. He sent handwritten letters to all 50 municipal offices announcing he was placing a curse on any local officials who demanded bribes from local street vendors. “May those city officers who commit extortion from vendors run into disasters until their retirement, have illness and die in their early years,” the letters declared.

Curses, Foiled Again When Maxim Shebelnichenko, 27, pulled his BMW to the side of an Ohio interstate, Beachwood police officer Roger D. Martin stopped to offer assis tance. Martin wondered why Shebelnichenko was sweating heavily in January, so he asked him and his passenger to step out of the car. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported the men refused, but Martin spotted a knife in Shebelnichenkos pocket and a 9mm pistol on the floor, so he called for backup. Officers searched the car and found machine guns, silencers, hand cuffs, ammunition, masks and bulletproof vests. In fact, Shebelnichenko was wearing one of the vests, which was what had caused him to sweat so much that he stopped to remove it when Martin noticed him. Shebelnichenko’s passenger, Sergey Tomilko, 26, told investigators

the two men had the weapons because they planned to rob Tomilko’s former employer, v

Uber-Slackers No Fun Anymore The organization Clowns International advised circus clowns to take out insurance against the risk of being sued by spectators who fail to see the joke of being hit in the face with a custard pie. Martin “Zippo” Burton, the group’s honorary vice president, said pie-wielders should target only fellow clowns and celebrities, never hit a white faced clown and use careful judg ment to ensure that those target ed are not averse. “With an increasingly litigation-crazy pub lic,” the group said in a statement at its annual convention, “the ethics and legal implications of ‘splatting’ and ‘sloshing’ are expected to be hotly debated under the Big Top.”

0. Henry on the Web When Jenny Thompson of Gloucestershire, England, finally won a spirited Internet auction for a Caribbean vacation she intended as a romantic surprise for her companion, Joey Clarke, her winning bid of $2500 was $630 more than the full price for the trip. Then she found out she had been bidding against Clarke, who wanted the vacation to sur prise Thompson. “When it dawned on us what had hap pened, I was gutted,” Clarke said. Website auctioneer Latees capes.com agreed to let the cou

After a two-day search by more than 2000 Navy and Coast Guard personnel aboard eight ships, two cutters and three heli copters failed to turn up his body, the Navy notified Corr’s family in Troy, Michigan, that he had drowned. While his family was arranging a memorial service, Corr emerged from a 12-by-8foot storage room aboard the ship, where Navy officials said he had been hiding throughout the search.

culture in rainforests, according to German soil scientist Bruno Glaser of the University of Bayreuth. New Scientist magazine reported Glaser has shown that burnt clearings in the Amazon dating back more than a thou sand years helped create patches of rich, fertile soil that farmers still prize today. Glaser called slash-and-burn farming “better than manure.” • Catalytic converters designed to clean up car exhausts are actually polluting the environment, ■ according to Italian and French researchers, who found heavy

metals from the devices in remote regions of Greenland. A recent European Commission study learned that exhausts from fastmoving cars erode catalytic con verters, sending microscopic par ticles containing the metals into the atmosphere. The metals, espe cially palladium, can accumulate in plants and animals and enter the food chain. • Americans are suffering from nutrition backlash, according to the Journal o f the American Dietetic Association, which report ed a survey by Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center showing people “have just plain had it” with conflicting and ever-changing dietary advice. “The more negative and confused people feel about dietary recom mendations,” the study found, “the more likely they are to eat a fat-laden diet that skimps on fruits and vegetables.”

Tax Dollars at Work San Francisco will become the first U.S. city to fund sex-change operations for city workers. A change to the city’s health-care benefits program, which takes effect July 1, lets city workers claim up to $50,000 of the cost of sex-reassignment surgery, city Supervisor Mark Leno said. The city already has about a dozen “transgender” employees on its municipal payroll, and officials estimated that as many as 35 city workers might take advantage of the new benefit in the first year, costing about $1.75 million. ®

Love Conquers A ll

PLAY IT UP: Steve Goldberg locks in on the wrestling underworld in his new play, Kong Wash. But the real conflicts in the drama are familial — Burlington’s most prolific playwright sums up the dynamic as “Scorsese meets Warhol.” Goldberg lured actor Jordan Gullikson back from a touring production of The Wizard o f Oz to play the lead role — a promising but corrupt pro wrestler who is paid to lose. Aaron Masi, Paul Soychak, Cherie Tartt, Emer Pond Feeney, Pamela Formica and Sue Ball are also in on the action that starts Saturday at Club Metronome. The author-director assures there is no real fighting in Kong — “just the usual gratuitous vio lence. I am always wrestling with the psyche,” Goldberg says. “Here its a metaphor, yet it’s the real thing” . . . Four boys in a Catholic boys school acting out all the parts in Romeo andJulietiThe only thing that could possibly rival the homoerotic potential of Shakespeare’s R & J was a recent production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show staged by Norwich cadets. Joe Calarcos Off-Broadway adaptation will be center stage at the FlynnSpace for two weeks starting Wednesday. In the meantime, another, less tragic story is playing out behind the scenes at Vermont Stage: the casting of a real executive director. The administrative duties that have been shared by playwright-in-residence Dana Yeaton and artistic director Mark Nash will now be handled by Donna Burke, a 28-year veteran of Fletcher Allen Health Care. Acknowledging the organization has been running “show to show,” Yeaton suggests, “the job of executive director is full-time at this point.” Burke will be in charge of fundraising, management and business planning, so Yeaton and Nash can get back to the fun stuff . . . Northern Stage in White River Junction also has a new player in the area of administration. James Alberghini, formerly of the Massachusetts-based North Shore Music Theater, is the new managing director of the theater troupe in residence at the Briggs Opera House. Originally a lighting designer, Alberghini will likely take some pressure off Artistic Director Brooke Wetzel, who brought the company to White River Junction four years ago on an annual budget of $7000. Now its over a million. Alberghini transformed North Shore from a summerstock venture to a popular year-round regional theater, and pio neered the presentation of signed performance for the deaf and hear ing impaired. IN BRIEF: Classical musicians tend to be pretty reliable, so the Lane Series is baffled by a recent rash of artists bagging gigs. On Monday, Russian pianist Katia Skavani called off her Wednesday night con cert, bringing the number of cancellations this semester to three. “She is sick as a dog in Moscow,” manager Natalie Neuert says of the ailing musician, who is five months pregnant. The show will go on, though, thanks to the amazing Rolodex of Artistic Director Jane Ambrose and, of course, JetBlue. Direct from New York, and a recent gig at Jordan Hall in Boston, pianist Tian Ying will fill in with Schumann, Mozart, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin . . . Recent census data earned Vermont air time on three consecutive nights on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” last week, as the host announced — erroneously — that the Green Mountain State is the “whitest state in the union.” The comment inspired a colorful exchange with musician Kevin Eubanks, who speculated that his “Vermont friend” Gamal is probably the states sole black person. Gamal eventually called in and cleared up a few misconceptions. But not the most important one: Vermont’s population is 96.8 percent Caucasian, after Maine, which is 96.9 percent . . . O f course, you can always change the channel. Especially since David Letterman may hold up an article by Seven Days writer Susan Green when he interviews Sylvester Stallone on Thursday night. Green interviewed Sly for Box Office magazine in anticipation of his upcoming movie, Driven, which opens Friday. The Letterman people have already requested, and received, permission to pull out her piece on-camera. Stay tuned . . . Robert Redford’s Sundance catalogue has been in the news late ly, for inadvertently selling furniture made by an organization that condones child labor. Twelve Tribes is better known to Vermonters as the religious “community” at Island Pond. The p.c. retailers have since dropped their drawers, but added Vermont-made saddle blan kets to their upscale inventory. Champlain College prof Fay Lauber brokered a deal to sell the hand-woven Native American blankets — thanks in part to a fortuitous meeting with Redford’s daughter, whose mom lives in Charlotte. The wool comes from two Vermont farms that raise Navajo-favored churro sheep, and are woven by Morrisville weaver Brook Hemenway. Marketing them as rugs, Sundance will feature the blankets in upcoming fall and holiday cat alogues. They’ll sell for around $1600. Lauber offers, “It’s a good sheep story.” © f.

T R A D IN G A red-eyewitness report from Quebec City B Y JO H N D ILLO N he anarchist cheerleaders were giv ing directions, dancing to a dozen drums and instructing thousands of protesters away from the legal demon stration route and toward the barricades circling the citadel of old Quebec. “A droit!A droit!To the left, the left,” they shouted, perhaps unaware of the directional contradiction, as well as the one implied by anarchists trying to control mayhem. The crowd of over 30,000 — a colorful medley of unionists and environmentalists — quickly split in two. A contingent of Vermonters headed for the heavily guarded fence, but were repelled by the acrid tear gas that drifted through the narrow streets. Jason Barney, a three-term Republican legislator from Highgate, was undoubtedly the only member of the GOP caucus to make the trip. The clash in Quebec City was his first political demonstration, and provided his first whiff of tear gas. Barney, who said he came to learn more about the impact of trade on the environment, was hoping the action stayed peaceful. “I have no problem being part of the protest,” he said before the march began. “I’ll be very disappointed if it becomes vio lent... I think the point can be made with out getting violent.” By mid-afternoon Saturday, Barneys disappointment showed. While most in the huge crowd protested peacefully, some tried for the second day to tear down the steel fence that surrounded the luxury

hotels and conference center where dele gates from 34 countries were meeting. “Its stupid for people to be doing that,” Barney said, as another group tried to fell the fence. The walled city of colonial Quebec, perched on a bluff high above the St. Lawrence River, hadn’t seen this much trouble since the Marquis de Montcalm faced off against the British here in 1759. Authorities mounted Canadas largest-ever security operation with thousands of riot police, helicopters and snipers perched on rooftops. They emptied a local prison to make room for the expected arrests — by week’s end the jail held about 400 — and they sealed off the summit site and nearby hotels with a 10-foot high, 2.4-mile steel fence anchored in concrete. Activists quickly labeled the barricade a “wall of shame” and called it a potent symbol of the closed trade talks. Opponents say the trading bloc would weaken environmental and worker safety standards and put corporate profits ahead of national priorities for protection of human rights and natural resources. “I don’t believe in what they’re trying to peddle us as free trade. It’s laissez-faire capitalism. It’s not free trade, it’s free theft,” said Don Dales, a Quebec City resident who watched as police lobbed tear gas canisters at demonstrators. “They want free trade without barriers, but we’re not the ones putting up the 10-foot walls.”

The Free Trade Area of the Americas — FTAA — would be the most far-reaching trade agreement in history. Although it’s based on the existing North American Free Trade Agreement, it goes beyond NAFTA in its scope and degree of deregulation. While knocking down tariffs and other barriers to commerce, the agreement would also essentially allow private compa nies to claim that local laws — such as environmental protection or worker safety statutes — impair their ability to conduct unfettered business. The FTAA would also open the door for private corporations to compete with governments in providing education, postal delivery, prisons and other services now provided by the public sector, says a report prepared by the Council of Canadians, an independent, non-partisan public interest group based in Ottawa. The FTAA. “will give unequalled new rights to the transnational corporations of the hemisphere to compete for and even challenge every publicly funded service of its governments, including health care, education, social security, culture and envi ronmental protection,” the council’s Maude Marlow said in a recent report. Dawn Stanger, a member of the Teamsters Union Local 597 in Vermont, put it much more simply as she was preparing to march last weekend: “Some

things just shouldn’t be done for a profit,” she said. Proponents say the FTAA will foster democracy and improve the economies of developing countries. President George W. Bush told reporters in Quebec city that the protesters were wrong. -x “Trade not only helps spread prosperity,.A but trade helps spread freedom,” Bush nwoio said. “So I would disagree with those whb think that somehow trade is going to nega tively affect the working people and people for whom hope doesn’t exist in some places. We need trade.” But in remarks that acknowledged the dissent outside, Mexico President Vincente Fox noted free trade has not closed the gap between rich and poor nations. “There’s much to welcome, but there is still much that we need to regret,” Fox said. “Our region continues to be one of the most inequitable... of the world; 200 million people in Latin American still continue to live in poverty.” Just a few blocks from where Fox spoke, James Ward, a member of the Micmac nation from the Burnt Church Reserve in New Brunswick, poured water in eyes reddened by tear gas. The white bandana he wore around his neck had proved to be an ineffective gas mask. Ward said international trade policies can harm indigenous people of the hemisphere.

n the barricades in Quebec City last weekend, the policy argu ments gave way to simple slogans. “This is what democracy looks like!” the protesters shouted as police fired plastic bullets and turned water cannons on the crowd.Tu-S \m o fo sii ,t;brI sb.v, - 4 The fighting ebbed and flowed throughout the two days as protesters used ropes and wire cutters to topple the fence. Police responded with volleys of tear-gas grenades, sometimes shot directly at the crowd. One union member from Ontario said he saw a demonstrator badly hurt when a tear-gas canister fired at close range ricocheted off the pavement and struck her in the head. The streets of the old city were littered with torn placards, burned mattresses and broken glass. As black-masked activists tore down one section of the barricade Friday, about 30 police moved forward in lockstep, clapping their batons on their Plexiglas — shields in a frightening drumbeat. Protesters wearing gas masks pushed back with volleys of bricks, bottles and even hockey pucks. Some tried to fling the gas canisters back toward the police, draw ing huge cheers when they successfully lobbed one over the fence. As night fell on the second day, protesters built fires out of piles of wood and debris and rolled flaming Dumpsters at the police barricades. There was some order to the mayhem. At organizing meetings, demonstrators sep arated into sections labeled green, yellow and red. Areas where the green groups gathered were supposed to be off-limits to property damage, while the yellow and red areas were more of a free-fire zone. The sys tem worked for a while. Mid-afternoon Saturday, several Vermonters were gathered near a section of fence that some activists were trying to bring down with ropes. Suddenly the word went out: This was a green area. The fence stayed standing and the crowd drifted toward a red area. Activists also had their own medics, who arrived quickly to wash out the eyes of people disabled by gas. A makeshift ambu-

“Were here to fight against the multi national corporations and free trade. W hat were seeing is the legitimizing of the theft of aborigir al lands and resources and exploitation of those lands,” he said. Critics also argue that the FTAA will lead to a “race to the bottom” as companies move their operations to countries with the weakest worker protection law and lax environmental safeguards. Indeed, the race downhill already started with NAFTA and other free-trade initiatives, according to Amnesty International. The group says that in 1999 alone, 500,000 U.S. jobs were lost to countries that deny their people the right to organize in labor unions. Concern about trade transcends politi cal boundaries. The Burlington City Council, which includes Progressives, Republicans and Democrats, unanimously passed a resolution opposing FTAA. Mayor Peter Clavelle noted that the FTAA — unlike NAFTA — does not include non binding side agreements to protect the environment and workers. He said FTAA would limit the ability of local govern ments to pass laws that require labeling of genetically modified foods. Zoning laws and environmental legislation, including the states landmark Act 250 development review law, could also be challenged by corporations under FTAA if the local laws “limit the value of investments,” he said. “Trade, if its coupled with protection for workers, communities and the environ ment, is healthy,” Clavelle said. “But if you’re going to let the capital interests run roughshod over worker and community interests, then we’ve got a serious problem. I don’t think the results will be beneficial.”

Staying apace of the "protests" on this side of the border B Y SU SA N GREEN hen the telephone rang just after 2 a.m. on Saturday morning, it was Elizabeth . Shukwit on the line. Although I had asked the 26-year-old Burlington activist to let me know when the “People’s Kitchen” folks would try to cross the Canadian border, it was a surprise to get her call at such an uncivilized hour. Apparently, the revolution never sleeps, but it sure does eat. Shukwit had already lost her voice for the cause, so she seemed to be whispering with clandestine urgency: “We’re about to take 700 pounds of dona tions to Quebec City to feed more than 2000 people. They’re running out of food and water. We have a let ter from Bernie Sanders to help us cross the border. Bye.” Shukwit is a true believer. “Full bellies equal happy people,” she had told me Friday, as laryngitis began to overwhelm her vocal cords while host ing a “sandwich-making party” at the makeshift but magical People’s Kitchen on North Street. Napoleon Bonaparte once

reportedly sent a warning home to parents whose children*usually walk unaccompa nied to and from Edmunds Middle School. It proba bly didn’t help matters when Gov. Howard Dean put the Vermont National Guard on alert Wednesday night. “News reports to the contrary, we’re not something to be afraid of,” suggested Ashley Smith, a Burlington-based coordinator with the Vermont Mobilization for Global Justice — affectionately nicknamed the V-Mob. “People should be afraid of environmental destruction, plun dering of the planet and exploitation

The V-Mob, which fostered med ical and legal teams in addition to the fervent foodies operating the People’s

"A lot of reporters have asked, 'Where should w e cover this?' I try to tell them w e ourselves don't know from one moment to the next." — "Rich," 22, anti-FTAA activist observed that “an army marches on its stomach.” The People’s Kitchen was run by a Vermont nonprofit collective determined to fill the stomachs of pro testers challenging the Summit of the Americas last weekend in Quebec City, where 34 hemispheric leaders negotiated a new trade deal. An esti mated 30,000 demonstrators — the majority peaceful even as self-proclaimed anarchists among them skir mished with police in clouds ol tear gas — saw treachery in the Free Trade Area of the Americas pact, claiming it allows corporations to ignore environ mental hazards and human rights. Decked out in baggy black garb, many anarchists also have pierced faces and Day-Glo hair, which contribute to the fear factor. One television com mentator on MSNBC complained that “normal” people would be more receptive to the anti-FTAA message if anarchists were better dressed — a fashion attack frequently leveled against hippies during the Vietnam War era. . , Locally, a panicked principal

Kitchen, envisioned the Queen City as one of three Northeast “conver gence” points — along with Buffalo, New York, and Jackman, Maine — to receive those attempting to get to Quebec City from elsewhere in the country. Indeed, Burlington was bustling with out-of-towners, some of whom had no luck getting over sud denly unfriendly border crossings. Canadian authorities appeared to be searching their computers for any excuse to deny entry — old arrest records were particularly popular. Protestors, outraged about secretive FTAA sessions held behind high secu rity fences in a fortess-like city, pre dicted that democracy itself is at stake when dissenters are turned away at the frontier. Martina Robinson, a woman from Massachusetts who uses a wheelchair, was kept, out oi Canada even though charges were dropped after her arrest at a September disability-rights protest. Her friend Jim Turner found himself still being punished for a 15year-old graffiti incident supposedly

long off the books. After hearing numerous tales of thwarted travel, I recalled the lyrics of a decades-old Al Stewart song: “I think I see down in the street, the spirit of the century, telling us that we’re all standing on the border...”

n a balmy Friday afternoon, the spirit of the century over looked more than 100 refuseniks participating in a “spokescouncil” under a tent outside the Quaker Meeting House, ground zero for the V-Mob in Burlington. A discussion about what to do next was moved along by a consensus method that involved visual signals: If people agreed with something, they wiggled the-fingers of both hands — called “twinkling.” Another judgment was conveyed by a rolling motion with index fingers extended. “That means, ‘Wrap it up, please,’ after you talk more than one minute,” quipped long-time Burlington activist Robin Lloyd. I simply got the evil eye. Well, not really. But several spokescouncil mem bers objected to the presence of out side media and “twinkled” me to leave until they finished talking about a par ticularly sensitive subject. While waiting to eavesdrop again, I ran into a cluster of Texans who had struck out twice in the border-crossing department. David Redmon, a sociol ogy professor at Southwestern University in Austin, was in Vermont with four youngsters who are members of the Accion Zapatista affinity group. They were interrogated for two hours Wednesday night at the Highgate crossing, where customs officials ques tioned their fabricated explanation about going to an Ontario national park for a class project. “They grilled us,” said one of the students, who asked to remain anony mous. “They wanted to know why we chose Highgate and not Niagara Falls.” .

‘BUCKING’ THE TREND? An anti-corporate protester shares his views on Church Street last weekend. On Thursday, the wandering Lone Star State citizens had been part of a 500-person contingent in a caravan of cars and vans going from Vermont to Akwesasne, the Mohawk reserva tion that straddles the border between upstate New York and Ontario. About 40 vehicles, many festooned with purple Ind hot-pink streamers, left the meet ing house on North Prospect Street with a police escort. The passengers aboard an ancient green bus were members of an Oregon affinity group, Call to Action, that has been on an antiFTAA tour of the United States for two and a half months. With the Highgate border enforcers giving people a hard time, could Native American sov ereignty rights help protestors leave the U.S. successfully via Akwesasne tribal land? Nope. This large group had agreed to an “all or none” approach; if even one person was rejected at the checkpoint, everybody would walk away in solidarity. After a festive fish fry hosted by sympa thetic Mohawks, the Akwesasne 500 marched over the long bridge to Cornwall, Ontario — where it was rumored an armored division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had set up shop. In addi tion to a Mountie welcoming committee, the U.S. Coast Guard was said to be barricading the St. Lawrence River to deter the FTAA fury of potential swim mers. When one young American was deemed unfit to enter Canada, however, the whole pack executed a massive U-turn. The indefatigable Texans were still not ready to give up. “We went to a crossing near Trout River and told the truth about our purpose this time,” Redmon explained. “When they saw the goggles we were bringing to protect our eyes from tear gas, they said, ‘We have reason to believe your motives are less than honorable.’ The excuse they gave for turning us away, though, was that we had seven people in a car with only six seatbelts.” Ann Petermann, a V-Mobber

When an unidentified woman at the meeting house in Burlington remarked that “the left is so hightech right now,” Brandon Rich, a coordinator whose ear was almost perpetually attached to a cell phone throughout the V-Mob organizing process, agreed. “I per sonally don’t like technology, but we have to use ‘their’ tools against ‘them,’” he said. “We have to get the word out to the public that the FTAA will cause job loss, environmental destruction and degradation of your health. People all over the xYorld are r coming together now to right the beast.” The beast must have been nipping at their heels in Vermont because announced activities were frequently postponed or cancelled with little, if any, notice. “A lot of reporters have asked, ‘Where should we cover this?’ I try to tell them we ourselves don’t know from one moment to the next,” said Rich, 22, with a shrug. The Vermont Independent Media Center set up a Web site offering grassroots coverage of the state and beyond, which proved invaluable in order to follow swiftly changing, often chaotic circumstances that were not chronicled by mainstream news outlets. The site had dynamic “breaking news” columns and “streaming radio” broadcasts. A bulletin board at the meet ing house also helped the dis placed multitudes locate friends or allies. “Looking for a ride,” scrawled “Dharma Bum.” “I am totally ‘clean’ for entry.” Another message was framed in hipper jar gon: “Donny — Yo! It’s yer gurl from Worcester. I’m sticking to the original plan. So find me if you be down.” Yo, the V-Mob was beginning to claim victory by Saturday, con sidering portions of the Quebec City security fence already seemed to “be down,” thanks to the efforts of fellow anarchists in Canada. And border officials sud denly started adopting a more tolerant attitude toward invading . Americans. Even Dave Dellinger, an 85-year-old Vermont peace activist who has endured numer-

ous arrests — the most famous of which was during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago — crossed at Derby Line. There, bomb-sniffing dogs were checking out the luggage of would-be voyagers to Canada. Yet a van with medical sup plies was halted at Highgate Friday night. The passengers, including some doctors, were only permitted to proceed to Quebec City with as much medi cine as they could carry in their backpacks; the humanitarian payload was excluded.

ozens of state, troopers and an array of other armed officials were guarding U.S. Customs at the Highgate crossing on Saturday, in anticipation of a “peoples assem bly” a quarter-mile south at the locked and not-so-hospitable Vermont Welcome Center. The event was scheduled for noon, but the 200 or so protes tors — those stranded in Burlington after rejection at the border and others who never even tried to venture north — were 20 minutes late for their own gather ing. Punctuality might not be an issue for people battling what

Even Dave Dellinger, an 85-year-old Vermont peace activist who has endured numerous arrests, crossed at Derby Line. they consider the destructive power of globalization and ram pant capitalist greed. A much more significant problem for me was a no-show by the portable toilets that had been booked. David Wolfe, the V-Mob’s logistics wizard, was ready to tear his hair out about this. Not a good idea at 44. Wolfe is an Underhill resident with 30 years in the trenches at cultural and political events. The demographics at the scene were a mixed bag. “I think there’s a really clear revival of the youthful protest movement that might shape up to be the group to take us forward to save the planet,” suggested Judy Sargent, 55, of Marshfield. At 81, Ed Everts of Charlotte was among the elders of the FTAA opponents at this tempo rary village. His wife, Deb Davis, who goes by the name Raven, made her way to Quebec City to rendezvous with a cluster of noted San Francisco witches who attend “witch camp” every year in Plymouth, Vermont. “They were planning to be A River of Compassion,’” Everts says of the pagan protestors in Canada. “They got tear-gassed and climbed up a section of the chain-link fence to tie banners.”

In a tacky, mustard-yellow frock, matching high heels and a big-hair wig, Sarah Seeds — a professional name — was billing herself as “Carlotta Exotica, a for mer Las Vegas showgirl and friend of The King.” In this per sona, she sang a few satirical songs for the appreciative crowd, including one that adds move ment lyrics to Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock.” When not performing as her alter-ego, the California trans plant is really “a nice Jewish girl from Baltimore” who conducts non-violent civil-disobedience training. “I can do the bimbo look and then slam you with a serious message,” Seeds explained The flags, banners, signs and topical cardboard art all attested to a unifying theme: The political leaders were up to no good in Quebec City, and their lawman lackeys would protect that capi talist conspiracy at all costs. My personal favorite was a placard that read, “Borders suck!” Some women began chanting: “Resist, resist! We know you are pissed!” — which had more than one meaning for a reporter in need of a bathroom. Peter Qualliotine, 34, held an upside-down American flag with the letter A in the middle of a cir cle with 13 stars. “Some would say the A refers to anarchy,” he explained. “I think it’s more about accountability. The 13 stars reflect the lunar cycle and recap turing the spirit of the revolution. I was turned away at the border Thursday for a 13-year-old con viction — another sign — at a New Orleans rally against our policies in Central America.” Lo and behold, at 1:40 some one announced that the tardy latrine company was finally en route. A cheer seemed to go up but, in fact, it was mostly from me. “Solstice,” a young man in black carrying an acoustic guitar, stepped up to the microphone to sing an impassioned original bal lad, “Trickle Down.” The Minnesota lad, age 23, sounded a little bit Eddie Vedder and a whole lot Phil Ochs as he melodically denounced ruination of the Earth. I saw Elizabeth Shukwit near the table where sandwiches and other edibles were being served. Turns out that, after her call to me in the wee hours, the People’s Kitchen crew had been detained at the border, only to be sent packing because the food was homemade rather than prepack aged. This meant two full days would be required to inspect the vegan fare, so the mission of mercy was a no-go. At 2:10 — precisely 12 hours since Shukwit had notified me about the foodies’ foolhardy but brave dash for Quebec City — there was an affirmation of the synchronicity that can occur when music meets social change. I glimpsed a truly beautiful sight that certainly changed my social demeanor: Two green porta-potties on a flatbed truck making its way up Interstate 89, just as vocalist Laura Simon belted our her bluesy “We Gotta Do What We Gotta Do.”My fingers wanted to twinkle with joy. Empty bladders equal happy people. ®

lance, red duct tape marking a crude first-aid cross on its win dows, sped through the streets carrying away the wounded. The fence was the main target of the protesters’ rage. But a few seemed bent on simple destruc tion. A small mob smashed every ground-floor window of a bank building before being repelled with gas. But moments of sheer whimsy also punctuated the vio lence. One group of protesters used an elaborate, medieval-style catapult to fling teddy bears at police. The vast majority of the esti mated 30,000 people — protest ers put the figure even higher — demonstrated peacefully in an overwhelming show of strength for organized labor. The Vermont contingent joined their counter parts from Canada, New England and other states and marched behind a huge banner that read “Jobs With Justice.” Karen Topper, a Barre resi dent and member of the Vermont State Employees Association, limped along on an ankle she had sprained before she came to Canada. She said she’s against the hemispheric free-trade pact because of its potential impact on working women in developing countries. Topper said she knows people who work in maquiladoras — factories that produce products for multinational corporations near the U.S. border with Mexico. Topper skid she recently met one woman who works for a company that assembles parts for General Motors. But the firm has “changed hands three times in the last three years, and it’s hard to catch them on labor viola tions,” she said. She saw pictures of women soldering circuit boards, breathing in the resulting lead fumes. “So for me the one issue that has moved me most to be here is the violation of women,” Topper said. Saturday’s labor march was originally scheduled to parade through the downtown area. But authorities changed the permit and the marchers were directed instead to head miles out to the suburbs. Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees defied the order and headed for the steel barricades surrounding the luxury hotels where the summit delegates resided. About 10 of the Vermont marchers followed. But the crowd was driven back repeatedly by tear gas. Robert Rose, a public employees union member from Hamilton, Ontario, was felled by the gas and lay choking and gasping on the ground. After he recovered, he said he wanted to be close to the steel fence so the summit leaders could see their opposition to the free-trade proposal. “If we’re so far away from the action, from where the political leaders talk, then we’re far away from democracy,” he said. “The state is supposed to protect our right to political dissent. I know that’s naive, but here they’re

doing just the opposite.” Inside the conference center, the delegates and heads of state were safely insulated from the uproar on the streets. Reporters working in the well-equipped media center enjoyed free food and watched the proceedings on closed-circuit television. But some who were working inside Saturday found they could not get outside to cover the news on the street. The police had sealed off the fence, locking the media inside the security zone. At the end of the summit, the heads of state signed a 44-page “Declaration of Quebec City” that lauded the benefits of free trade and committed the coun tries to reaching a trade pact by 2005. Outside, the confrontation between police and protesters was winding down. The crowds spir its may have been dampened by

Moments of sheer whimsy also punctuat ed the violence. One group of protesters used an elaborate, m edieval-style catapult to fling teddy bears at police.

the chilling rain that had fol lowed two days of sunny spring weather. The latest outpouring of rage against globalization — first ignited in 1999 at world trade talks in Seattle — had subsided lor now. Hal Leyshon, an organizer with the Teamsters Union in Vermont, was in Seattle and came last weekend to Quebec City. He noted the U.S. union movement — which participated in the Seattle protests — is con servative compared to unionists in Canada and Europe. But he said Seattle was a watershed, because it showed that organized labor can and should work with younger activists who may not be union members. “It’s a big change for us, when we start to see ourselves as part of a broader social movement,” Leyshon said. Rep. Stephen Hingtgen, a Burlington Progressive and a political opposite of his friend and fellow legislator Jason Barney, said he came to Quebec City to be part of this new public outcry for social change. “Mass movements against corporate domination or against powerful domination are so rare,” Hingtgen said. “In a sense they have a spiritual note to them. It’s good for your soul to be part of this once in a while.” (Z)

Death by Doritos? You know it’s a slow news week when pet stories take over the front page. In Manchester, dog owners Kirk Moore and Heidi Whitten came home to find that Lilly, their 4-year-old mixed-breed dog, had got ten her head stuck in a bag of Doritos and died, apparently of suffocation. The dog had open, glazed eyes and wasn’t breathing, but Whitten, undaunted, administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. This sounds icky, but it eventually worked: Lilly began breathing on her own again, and within 10 minutes was lively enough for a stroll around the block. Whitten reports that Lilly still likes Doritos, but they will keep the bag out of her reach from now on. — Manchester Journal, April 20

only reflect motions and votes, eliminating “extracur ricular banter,” while others felt just as strongly that it is an “insult to the people” not to have full, verbatim records kept of the board’s deliberations. Board member Marilyn Sowles defended the longwinded approach with passion, citing democracy, citi zen involvement and access to key issues, but Ed Ploof expressed doubts that anybody really cared, adding that there was too much time spent arguing over min utes anyway. As the discussion ripened, Chris Conant observed that that there was probably too much emo tion at the table, and Dick Paquette agreed and made a motion to move on. Next on the agen da, oddly enough, was the review of the last meeting’s minutes, which the board appar ently approved without much discussion. Worn out, the mem bers then adjourned and went home. — Colchester Chronicle, April 5

Vicious Cycle

for floods and earth

Zipper, a German shepherd from Chester, has made the front page twice recently — first for biting a passerby while running free, and again for attack ing a woman who was delivering phone books to area resi dences. In the second encounter, Zipper was chained up, but somehow snapped his collar in his determination to express his opinions. Zipper has twice been declared “vicious” by the Chester select board, but the first time didn’t stick because of procedural errors. Zipper’s owners responded to the first attack by saying that the dog had no history of going after peo ple and therefore deserved a second chance — which he got and took full advantage of. The owners defend ed the second attack by insisting that it took place on private property posted with “beware of dog” and “no trespassing” signs, making Zipper’s actions therefore legal. Despite the owners protests and claims of police harassment, Zipper is currently incarcerated and awaiting execution. — Black River Tribune, April 11, April 18

quakes — but not.

Carry That Weight

Porches, barns and outbuildings have been collapsing all over Vermont under the wet, late-season snow, but the repercussions don’t always end with clearing the wreckage away. Amanda’s Greenhouse in Cabot lost a barn recently — it col lapsed with a roar only moments after one of the owners left the structure, having been rummaging in there for nails. He has since learned insurance will not cover the loss. “I’d never heard of such a thing,” said co-owner Danny Sicely. “They’re getting rich, seeing as they don’t have to pay anybody. You can look at an insur ance contract all you want, it doesn’t say anything about riders. It’s very frustrating.” Insurance, it seems, is full of technicalities: In Vermont, an extra premium is required to protect against damage from ice and snow. Even if a collapse is covered under an expanded policy, many insurers will still argue strenuously against payment, saying the owner had a duty to get out there and shovel the roof already. Special coverage is also needed in the Green Mountain State for floods and earthquakes----but not, oddly enough, for the damage done by erupting volcanoes. — Hardwick Gazette, April 11

Dog Years The canine news ends with word from Stowe that Izzy, a noted track and scent dog, has passed away after a short battle with cancer. Izzy was a member of the Stowe police department for 11 years and traveled all over the country, including to the Atlanta Olympic Games, sniffing out lost people, hurt people and peo ple who were dumb enough to carry drugs in her vicinity. Dolly Parton once tracked down Izzy in the Memphis airport for the sole purpose of autographing the dog’s rescue vest — Izzy, it seems, spent a lot of time in airports, racking up about 80,000 airline miles between one nose job and another. “If Izzy had been able to drive,” says her handler Ed Stewart, “she wouldn’t have needed me at all.” A saddened Stewart will now turn his full attention to Izzy’s understudy, Cinder. — Stowe Reporter, April 19

Talking Heads Spring is supposed to be a happy season, but a recent headline warns us “Homeless Bunnies to Visit Pet Food Warehouse in April.” In the more-than-weneeded-to-know category, there’s “Jennifer Kimball’s Cat Was a Sick Mouser at Moscow Mission Control.” And under the say-what? category we found “Marbles Have Sugared Hill No. 9 since 1920s.” “Do You Have Enough Time for Fun?” sounds like a question with only one answer, but “Personal Expression Is an Essential Element of Bathroom Decorating” tells us that some people have a little too much time on their hands, and perhaps still have a touch of cabin fever. — Essex Reporter, April 5, Colchester Chronicle, April 19, Valley Reporter, April 5, Mountain Times, April 12, Bellows Falls Town Crier, April 13

B y J eanne K e lle r t may seem like Vermont hosts a different festival every single summer weekend, but it’s safe to say Montreal is the summer festival capital of North America. From the famous jazz fest to the fringy FantAsia Film Festival, it seems there’s no end to the beer-and-circus. The Mayor is even accused of pander ing to the tourist trade at the expense of basic city services. A couple of years back, Montreal’s extensive beautification plan spawned a backlash of bumper stickers on fire trucks and ambu lances reading, “The Mayor Cares More For a Geranium Than For Your Safety.” It’s ironic, then, that the sum mer season starts off with a free celebration of history and culture hardly ever publicized to tourists: Montreal Museum Day. On the last Sunday in May — this year it’s May 27 — more than two dozen of the city’s best museums

waive admission and are linked by a fleet of shuttle buses. Four color-coded bus routes cluster museums thematically and geo graphically. The central hub for all routes, and the place to start, is Maison Radio Canada on Rene-Levesque and Beaudry, west of downtown. This is also where you transfer between routes. Museum Day is the first big post-winter event in la Belle Ville, and people come out like daffodils. It’s a veritable festival of artistic and cultural diversity, from punks to Westmount dowa gers; all ages and races, singles and families. One local journalist dubbed it “Super Bowl Sunday for museums.” Many Montrealers flock to the big-ticket museums, taking advantage of the free entry. But it’s also a great time to visit the smaller historical and cultural museums, the ones you typically might not pay to see. Besides, the free shuttles provide a welcome

alternative to getting lost and spending a fortune on parking. In the span of one day, it’s easy to visit several. On the same bus route with the Big Three — the Museum of Fine Arts, Contemporary Art and Architecture — you’ll find some smaller gems. Tucked behind the Fine Arts Museum at 2200 Crescent Street, the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts fea tures fabulous displays of furni ture, tableware, vases and other home decor. The current exhibit features furnishings from 1935 to the present.

Still, 400,000 cubic yards is a lot of dirt. Where’s it going to go? Hospital administrators said they’re considering several sites, including the Burlington International Airport, other

UVM properties and a pair of quarries near the Lime Kiln Bridge in Colchester, which are owned by St. Michael’s College. Burlington Director of Public Works Steve Goodkind said his team could use some fill, too. The facilities director at St. Mike’s tells a different story, sug gesting it could already be a done deal. “We’ve given them permis sion to dump there,” confirmed David Cutler. The quarry target ed to be filled is on the east side of the Lime Kiln Bridge on the Colchester side. “It’s progressing very nicely,” Cutler said of the steps to firm up the deal. The site is appealing for a number of reasons. It’s not too far from the hospital, and it can handle the entire amount of soil to be excavated. Trucks would proceed to the site completely on state roads — Williston Road, Interstate 89 and Route 15 — and would avoid neighborhood streets. And the filled quarry would help the State Department of Transportation in the eventual replacement of the Lime Kiln Bridge. “There’s several hundred

thousands of dollars in savings there,” Cutler said, noting the fill represents a college contribution to Colchester, which is scheduled to pay 10 percent of the overall bridge costs, according to Select Board Chair Dick Paquette. “We’ve been saving up for our share, but it’s still a few years away,” he said. The big drawback is that the

SMC Lime Kiln quarry is a stone’s throw from the Winooski River, and that will draw close scrutiny from the Department of Environmental Conservation, which regulates Vermont’s water ways. “It’s up to them to get the permits,” said Cutler. And when they do, the Tonkas will start to roll... and roll... and roll. (7)

By Pamela Polston ow did a guy with a name like a banker come to sell out the Flynn? Or, for that matter, Radio City Music Hall in New York, or the Warfield in San Francisco? Could be because the British singersongwriter David Gray has toured North America four times since March 2000. That’s when he released his breakthrough album, White Ladder, which has

gone platinum here as it did in England, and is still ascending the Billboard charts. The first single, “Babylon,” has received airplay on MTV and VH1 as well as radio nationwide; Gray has been a guest on David Letterman — he’s scheduled there again May 2 — Conan O ’Brien and Jay Leno, as well as “Saturday Night Live” and “Austin City Limits.” His rpainstream press coverage spans USA Today to Spin. Another White

L addem 2.dk., “Sail Away,” is on the soundtrack of Robert De Niro’s latest film, 15 Minutes, while a second single, “Please Lorgive Me,” has nudged its way onto radio playlists. In other words, if you haven’t heard of David Gray, you haven’t been paying attention. But it wasn’t all that long ago that no one else was, either. Gray is one of those “overnight sensa tions” that was 10 years in the making. Just before he holed up

Curb Your Car Day Friday, M ay 4 What:

A day to curb your car -- carpool, walk, bicycle, rollerblade, telecommute or take the train or bus instead of driving solo. To play a part - just leave it parked!

Why

Cars are a major source of air pollution. Many pollutants in Lake Champlain are linked to auto emissions.The average car in the Lake Champlain Basin travels 17,000 miles and-emits 935lbs of pollution into the air each year

Who

You! Please join in and reduce the number of cars on the road May 4.

HOW :

Simply call the Lake Champlain Committee (L C C ) at (802) 658-1414 to register, O R mail, fax (802 658-1405) or email (lcc@lakechamplaincommittee.org) a completed copy of the form below to L C C by April 30. By registering, you will be eli gible for great prizes including a weekend with an electric vehicle, monthly train and bus passes, gift certificates and more!

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year we pretty much take our commutes for granted. We climb into our cars in the morning, make the dgve, park the car, and then repeat the whole process again in the evening, rarely stopping to consider that our daily ritual has global impact, namely pollution. Please join L C C , C C T A , The Champlain Flyer and area businesses and agencies in Curb Your C ar Day on Friday, May 4th. The event is an opportunity for everyone to help reduce air and water pollution for a day by commuting in a low-impact way.

in his London bedroom to write and record the songs for White Ladder, he’d been playing to - empty rooms and wondering • what the fuck he was doing with his life. Or so he told Rolling Stone for a feature story in the latest issue. Now, of course, he can laugh about when he was billed below the barbeque ribs on an Illinois marquee; at the time, it wasn’t funny. Despite a small collection of devotees, and three records on EMI, Gray was Mr. Obscurity. You might say he needed a ladder to climb out of the depression. And luckily for him, that’s just what he created. The songs he made with his friend and drummer Clune found an audi ence in Ireland, where he decided to release the album on his own label, IHT Records (“it’s hit messed up,” he told RS). Four thousand records sold out right away, so he made more. The album hit Number One, and started catching on in England. By July 2000 it was Number Two there. In the U.S. longtime cheerleader Dave Mat thews signed Gray to his fledgling ATO Records and started promoting “Babylon.” The rest, as they say... proves there’s nothing like going platinum to lift a bad mood. Matthews is not the only fan to compare White Ladder to sem inal records like Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, or Carol King’s Tapestry. The songs include nine originals, plus a sec ond mix of “Babylon” and an evocative cover of Soft Cell’s “Say Hello Wave Goodbye.” Comparisons to Dylan apply to Gray’s reedy voice, too, while as a songwriter he might be imagined as a close personal friend of Van Morrison and even that lachry mose Montrealer, Leonard Cohen. On the other hand, Gray’s folk-pop is truly original and eludes easy categorizing; lyri cally and melodically, it is simply astute. Gray and Clune polished the bare-bones acoustic songs with a minimal bass-and-drums treat ment throughout, and with a tasteful application of synth and strings here and there. The result is a moody, almost dreamy feel; raw passion contained ever-solightly in a silky cocoon. Though Gray’s music is most likely to be heard on “adult contemporary” radio stations, it should come with a warning: Repeated listen ings may be addictive. This month, Matthews released Lost Songs 95-98, previ ously unrecorded material Gray wrote between his third album, Sell, Sell, Sell and White Ladder.

In Ireland, where his rainy-day songwriting sensibility has legions of fans, the collection 1 * went straight to Number One when it was released in 1999, and has sold more than four mil lion copies to date. That suggests the album won’t be “lost” in America for long. Indeed, Gray is now a bright light, and fans can only hope that in the returning glare of publicity his genius will not burn out.

But she’s not British; Seger is a Texas-born singer-songwriter who’s chosen to make the cloudier environs of the U.K. her home. All that moisture is said to be good for the complexion — not that the 21-yearold blond beauty has to worry about that just yet — but the climate must be good for song writing, too. The May Street Project is a stunning debut, and Seger, unlike the guy she’s opening for this Thursday at the Flynn, stands a good chance of making waves on her first try.

Shea Seger strength of her idiosyncratic music comes from just such a blend, too: a modern, confident ’tude with urban-edgy produc tion, and the soul sounds of her parents’ generation. Seger attrib utes her musical development, in fact, to years of combing through her father’s substantial record col lection. In The May Street Project, you’d be hard-pressed to detect any of the country-western that surrounded Seger growing up in the Lone Star State, or even the soft twang of her speaking voice. But a lush warmth spreads over the whole recording like south ern sunshine. Gray and Seger should make for interesting weather Thursday night at the Flynn. ©

Nevin, a 50-50 partner in the publishing venture, is the magazine’s “editor at large” — lit erally; his colleagues can have a difficult time tracking him down. A photographer, artist, skater and rider, the Manchester native is, like Butler, a student at the Montserrat College of Art in Massachusetts. Butler got his first taste of riding and skating in his home town of Barnard. Hang out with him for awhile and you learn he’s the kind of guy who might skate board and go canoeing in the same day. Always

months of discussion about how to do the thing right. The Journal is independent, without financial backing, and has a minimal staff. With help from Blue Collar Distribution and the Journal’s “street team,” the publication reaches more than 75 skate and snow shops in the U.S., Canada and Europe — 15,000 copies have been published to date. Like many ’zines, its frequency is issue-to-issue. Butler and Nevin also benefit from the contribu tions of professional snowboard photographer Tim Zimmerman. The Journal doesn’t look very “Vermonty.” Its first four covers pictured urban images of subway lights and city pedestrians on concrete floors showing the severe polish of a century of foot steps. The pictures seem less for the purpose of establishing street cred than paying homage to the daily experiences that can come to anyone from anywhere, in a poetic kind of way. The anec dotes within have some depth and observations that suggest the vitality of youth isn’t always wast even ed on the young

inter ested in people who bust the mold, I figured he should do some of the talking. On a recent snowboarding day — one of the last of the season — Butler talked about the four issues under his belt so far, and about what’s coming up. Seven Days: Before The Journal, how did you get into riding? Seth Butler: I have been riding since I was, like, 12. I used to go to middle school with people who just rode and we had fun. SD: D id you start out in a skat ing scene at all?

SB: I started out in tennis courts with old-school skateboarding and never got into it, so I stopped skating and got into mountain biking. Then I got into snowboarding hard-core, and I loved it. ...It’s a spiritual thing. You’re just out there; noth ing is in your head. SD: What made you want to start The Journal, beyond being involved in the scene? SB: It just happened. I love pho tography, I love being outside, taking pictures, seeing the world the way I see it. I think everything came together and Mike [Nevin] is into skating and snowboarding, too. We said, “Hey, let’s do it.”

SD: What is the mission statement o fT he Journal? SB: To be truthful. Not every day is blue sky and not every day is sunny. People are out there in the rain having fun and people are skating nasty little curbs. There is a lot of impressive stuff that doesn’t make Transword [a snowboarding magazine]. We can give that some justice. Like little kids that rip or people that are young and don’t know any body [in the industry], who just skate. SD: What else are you trying to accomplish with The Journal? SB: I think another thing is a positive outlet. So many kids get screwed in the school system and have nowhere to put their energy. It can mess them up for good. SD: So is that what the subtitle, Things to Make Our Lives Better, is about? SB: Yeah, it might be a bunch of C o n tin u e d on p a g e 2 4 a

SD: In the snowboarding industry, where cool is king that’s a bold thing to pu t on your cover. What don’t you like about the industry that The Journal might affect? SB: I don’t like that everybody talks behind everybody’s back about absolutely nothing. I like to ride by myself sometimes because it is good for me. Competition is good because it pushes you, but when it’s not in a friendly environment, forget about it. SD: Anything else? SB: I don’t like big business in it. They have no reason to get any sup port. They are not nec essarily in it for the spirit of the sport, which is to be out there riding with your friends.

SD: How did art and poetry get into The Journal? SB: It was part of the original issue. There is this whole elitist attitude in the art world that I don’t buy into, as much as I don’t buy into it in the skate and riding world. There are so many people out there with so much potential and they don’t realize it. You just have to work at it and follow your dreams. It sounds cheesy as hell, but it’s true. SD: And maybe seeing it on grit ty, black-and-white pages makes it a little more real... SB: I think we are trying to show that people can do something with their work.

g Aaward-winning poet & writer

S e c o n d Offense? t has come to my attention that I have offend ed a number of readers. This troubles me, because I am not out to offend anyone, no matter how good it makes me feel when I do. I do believe some people took certain com ments in my columns more seriously than they were intended. It’s alarming, for example, how many letters I have received from people who felt that I was promoting a cannibalist lifestyle. There was also a very sincere note from a gentle man who suggested that I was making light of people who suffer from depression. I would never intentionally make light of depression, and knowing someone feels that way makes me so bummed out I can barely get up in the morning. So, taking my lead from the Bush administration, I’ve come up with what I hope is a satisfac tory diplomatic solution that will allow everyone to save face without admitting any wrongdoing. This is not an apology, then, but a careful f £r' ly worded expres sion of regret, as well as a clarifica tion of my position on certain issues. I would especially like to address comments I made regarding a deer I hit with my car, and how, later in the same column, I explained the cir cumstances under which I might carve fajitas out of my fellow human beings if I were stranded and starving in the Arctic — at least the ones who were shrieking animal-rights activists. First the deer. I nailed one up on the Appalachian Gap, left the scene and wrote about it lightly in this column. I regret this, and I addi tionally regret not having dressed the deer right there and taken it home to my freezer. I have the car adaptor for my electric carving knife, an extension cord and some plastic bags all ready in the trunk should this happen again. Next, the whole cannibalism scenario. I understand now that the views I expressed might have upset some people, particularly that hypo thetical bludgeoning and Ilamebroiling. So I would like to set the record straight. I was not trying to promote a cannibalist lifestyle, and I am not trying to advance any sort of cannibalis tic agenda. I do not condone the eating of peo ple, except those who have been corn-fed for a minimum of six months, and never during Lent. I do feel, however, that what people grill in their own homes is their own affair. And I am not ashamed to say that I see nothing ethically wrong with eating people in a real emergency, such as an airplane crash high in the Andes, or if I run out of pizza rolls and get the munchies late at night. Also, it’s common knowledge that hav ing occasional cannibalistic thoughts or dreams, especially during adolescence, is quite normal. So

I think a little experimentation in college is understandable, as it is quite natural to be curi ous. And though a person doesn’t just suddenly become a cannibal, I think it takes great courage to come out of the meat locker. In the same column I made a hypothetical reference to my dog Elbe, saying that I would not eat her unless I were out of PETA activists. Some people, specifically a nice young lady rep resenting People for the Ethical Treatment of PETA Activists, apparently did not find that this statement went far enough. Some also felt my comments about eating Ellie’s frozen tail and paws after they had fallen off from the cold were in poor taste. Looking back, I concede this was insensitive, and that I should not have even considered eating either of those parts of Ellie before I had first taken her ears and skewered them on the end of a stick like marshmallows. I could have made my special Ellie Ear S’mores at the camp fire, and I see that now. , Let me also state that I do not make a common practice of eating dog. However, I see nothing wrong with eating Chihua huas, which have bit ten me twice and are not really dogs at all, but highly excitable and vicious hairless cats that bark loudly. Most of them are in this country illegally anyway, and should be deported back to Mexico if not eaten. And while I admit to having eaten dog in the past, it was only in Texas, where it is considered a delicacy, and where I am quite cer tain I never ate a dog that was innocent. To the person who felt I was out of line to suggest easing my conscience with large doses of antidepressants, I would sincerely apologize if I felt at all guilty about it. I also angered someone a while back for refer ring to former Texas Governor Ann Richards and President George W. Bush as recovering alco holics, when I do not know for certain whether either is recovering. It is entirely possible that both of them — like myself, my parents, three out of four siblings and more than half my extended family— are still raging alcoholics. If that is so, I regret the error. I think that’s about it. Oh, I almost forgot. In the spirit of reconcili ation, I would like to make amends by inviting all the people I offended to a big party at my place. It’s going to be great. There’ll be a fire in the back yard for cooking out, and I’ll have a huge bowl of pills right inside the front door like they did at all those ’70s parties, except that instead of bennies, ’ludes and mescaline we’ll have stuff like Prozac, Zoloft and lithium. Please bring liquor. And dogs are welcome, especially if they are well-marinated. ®

april 25, 2001

Freed that civil unions will be a hot issue at the Statehouse for another decade. Asked if he considered Moats’ Pulitzer an “affirmation” of what our state did last year, Dean replied, “I think it’s an affirma tion that the Rutland Herald is an absolutely great newspaper.” He said he did not think the prize “had anything to do with their position on a particular issue.” Really? According to the Pulitzer Prize Board, however, Moats got the gold for “his evenhanded and influential series of editorials commenting on the divisive issues arising from civil unions for same-sex couples.” Still a little uncomfortable, eh, Doc? Spite Caucus On the Record — Thanks to last week’s roll call votes in both the House and Senate, we now have an accurate listing of what are arguably the 22 most closed-minded and hard hearted members of the Vermont General Assembly — four in the Senate and 18 in the House. Congratulations to all! On the table last week was a matter not of substance, but of common decency and state pride. Both chambers debated, and adopted by wide margins, resolu tions congratulating Moats and the Rutland daily lor their Pulitzer. In the Senate, the Republican leader, John Bloomer Jr. of Rutland, was the lead sponsor. In the House, Cheryl Hooker, a» 1 Rutland Democrat, was the lead sponsor. Rarely are resolutions even debated. Hundreds pass through the legislature every year like ships through the Panama Canal. Last week, everything from the Vergennes Union High School Division II basketball champions to Teen Advocacy Day and the 50th anniversary of Mary W. Rowe’s directorship of the North Country Chorus was honored by joint resolutions. The Rutland Herald Pulitzer, however, was a different matter. Last year, Sen. Bloomer voted against the civil-unions bill. But it did not prevent him, last week, from honoring his hometown newspaper for its historic achieve ment. The Rutland Rocket’s got some class. His is a distinguished Vermont political family. Bloomin’ Bloomer’s grandfa ther, Asa Bloomer, was once Speaker of the House. Later, as a senator, he suffered a fatal heart attack during a Joint Assembly in the House chamber. His dad, John Bloomer Sr., a senator before him, was taken from us in an early morning car wreck while en route to the Statehouse. His mom, Judy Bloomer Crowley, served out her hus band’s term, remarried and now represents West Rutland in the House. Her husband, Sen. John Crowley, is John Jr.’s seat mate in the senate chamber. The way it worked out, John Jr.’s resolution honoring the Rutland Herald was opposed by his step-dad. Sen. Crowley told

Seven Days he opposed it because the Pulitzer Board “endorsed edi torials which in turn endorsed the civil-union law, which is bad pub lic policy.” The other senators in this Fearsome Foursome were Julius Canns (R-Caledonia), Tom Bahre (R-Addison) and freshman William Corrow (R-Orange), who defeated civil-unions sup porter Mark MacDonald last x November, Following the Senate vote, speculation mounted over how John Jr.’s mom would vote when the resolution hit the House floor. Would Judy vote with her hus band, or would she vote with her son? After all, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes is the only member of the House GOP caucus who has refused to pledge fealty to guber natorial candidate Jim Douglas. The buzz is, Judy is holding out until John Jr. decides if 2002 will be his year to run for the roses. To make a long story short, Mama voted in line with the man she lives with. She was one of 18 “no” votes in the House. Joining her were distinguished members of the House Taliban like Rep. Nancy Sheltra and her “Sex Pack” from the Kingdom, as well as the likes of freshman Rep. Linda Kirker (R-Essex Junction). Kirker told Seven Days she voted against honoring the Rutland paper because she had gotten “feedback” that the editori al “quality” of Moats’ writing “wasn’t always up to what it could have been.” Amazing how, overnight, the Herald’s Pulitzer made homopho bic lawmakers journalism experts. Asked to give an example, Kirker confessed she hadm read the H a il prize-winning editorials. But she added, “I am not anti-gay or les bian. I have close relatives who are [gay] and I love them dearly.” Isn’t that sweet? Sex-Packer Duncan Kilmartin (R-Newport City), an attorney, assumed complete mastery of the Pulitzer criteria. He told House members Moats’ editorials failed to meet the “required tests” of “moral purpose and sound rea soning.” You see, in his head, Duncan the Dinosaur claims superior judgment to that of the Pulitzer Prize Committee. And a mighty hard head it is, folks. Recently, staff from the Osteoporosis Center at the Mary Fanny were at the Statehouse offering free bone-density exams to all comers. Rep. Kilmartin was spotted dancing for joy, gleefully waving his bone-density scorecard in the air. Duncan got a 124, meaning his bones are 124 per cent as dense as those of the aver age young adult male. He bragged he was experiencing “petrifica tion” rather than “ossification.” You’d think the Pfizer lobbyist had just handed him a lifetime supply of Viagra! Duncan challenged yours truly to beat him. Well, we gave it our bony best, but came in sec ond to Duncan the Dinosaur with a measly 113 score. ■ No doubt about it, when it comes to thick skulls, Rep. Duncan Kilmartin tops the charts. ® E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

It can. Each year 2 ,0 0 0 Vermont children start smoking. More than 6 5 0 of these children will die prematurely as a result. There's a simple, proven w ay to reverse this trend: raise the price of cigarettes to discourage youth smoking. It's a fact. When the price of cigarettes goes up, youth smoking goes down. Support the proposal in our state legislature to raise the price of a pack of cigarettes by 67 cents. It will save thousands of kids. Tell Vermont legislators that our kids are worth a lot more than 6 7 cents.

WE HAVE SOME WINNERS Anyone who thinks being a deejay is a simple job ought to try it sometime. Just mas tering the art of the perfect segue is hard enough, never mind getting all the songs lined up in the first place, and gauging the energy of a room full of mercurial dancers. Burlington DJ ADOg, a.k.a. Andy Williams, knows from spinning, and last month he got the chance to prove it: He won Urb’s annu al mixed-tape competition in the “hiphop/down tempo” category, whereupon the club culture-oriented magazine flew him to Miami, put him up at a hotel, and invited him to do his thing at a big, glitzy party full of music, trade and fashion types. The 25-year-oid, who grew up in New Jersey and St. Albans, describes his live tape as “acid jazz with hip-hop and turntablism ail in one.” The June issue of Urb will feature a photo and profile of A-Dog. Meanwhile, you can catch him Monday nights at Red Square, performing with the Grippo Funk Band. Vermont singer-songwriter Patti Casey and vocal ensemble Celestial Sirens performed on NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion” last Saturday, live from the 1 lOO-seat Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. The two com prised one-third of the lineup for the shows annual “Talent From Towns

Under Two Thousand” competition. Neither won the first-place Silver Water Tower Trophy — which really is a water tower-shaped thing, about 4 feet high — but Casey was honored with the “Ray Markiand Tool Box Award.” Named after a longtime volunteer elec trician on the show, as host Garrison Keillor explained, it’s a real DIY tool box given to the person the stage crew find “the easiest and most fun to work with.” The duct tape, wrenches, pliers and so forth may not do a lot to advance Caseys career, but should come in handy at her home in North Duxbury, pop. 1290. “It’s a big, honkin’ red tool box,” Casey says. “It’s so heavy they have to ship it to me. I really needed a tool box.” Finally, Burlington singer-songwriter Rachel BiSSex has been named as a finalist in the Telluride Troubadour competition this June in Colorado. The honor comes on the heels of winning “the coveted Eddie’s Attic Open Mic competition” in Atlanta. Why coveted? The bar where the IndigO Girls got their start holds an open mike every Monday, Bissex explains. In town for a local folk festival, she decided to stop by — and ruled. “I didn't know anything about it” be fore, Bissex says. “There were some real

LET THE SON SHINE IN Cuba President Fidel Castro was the only head of state in the Western Hemisphere not invited to last weekend’s F'TAA conierence in Quebec City, and the U.S. embargo against the island nation continues unabated. Happily, politics hasn’t kept Cuban music at bay, and there can’t be a rhythm-loving soul who isn’t grateful for that. But it’s a rare treat in Vermont to hear a Cuban band live — like the one coming to Higher Ground this Saturday. SabOF de Cuba is a 12-piece conjunto that combines the Afro-Cuban sound popularized by the Buena Vista Social Club (trumpeter Octavio Calderon came from that group) with more contemporary Cuban styles. While the show will surely be hot enough to make the buds pop around Burlington, that’s not all. On Sunday, Sabor de Cuba, in conjunction with UVM’s Cuba Project and the music department, will put on an afternoon event called “Anatomy of the Clave.” Professor Alex Stewart’s lecture will be followed by workshops with members of the band at Southwick Hall on Redstone Campus. Tickets are $20, $10 with student ID. Info, 656-4296. DO GOOD DEPT. The swell folks at Big Heavy World are once again throwing a big fat benefit — more elegantly called the Electric Cabaret — for the Womens Rape Crisis Center. The fifth annual candle-lit event this Friday at Club Metronome features acoustic perfor mances by Chin Ho!, Helen Keller Music and Jenn Karson & Bad Ju Ju.

The survivors of sexual violence need more than soothing music, so bring your TLC and your wallets. Along the same lines, the Kept Writer in St. Albans is throwing a “Three Muses” weekend of song, words and art to help raise money for an emergency shelter for the Abuse and Rape Crisis Program. Musicians include Colin Clary, Amanda Gustafson, Michele Choiniere and more, begin ning Friday. Saturday night, the G/L/B/T/Q organization R.U. 1.2.? hosts a dinner and concert with former “Mr. Rogers” operatic tenor Francois Clemmons (now a Middlebury prof), Burlington singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass and the Samadhi Singers, at the Radisson Hotel. Sigh. So many benefits, so little time... Other musicians donating their talents this week are Catie Curtis and, once again, Gregory Douglass, singing for the Peace and Justice Center Sunday night at 135 Pearl. Tuesday, “Lady ZingO” continues to drag the bingo crowd into a big win for Vermont Pride, while back at Metronome the Dream Party DJs — Darcie, Moonflower, Andro, Mirror — and NYC’s Mike P. throw a May Day Party to benefit Spectrum Youth Services. Not to men tion honor the pagan holiday of Beltane. SINGLE TRACKS Another sign that win ter really is over: Plattsburgh’s lakeside Naked Turtle is open for the season. First up this Thursday is a DJ night from Good Guy Productions . . . Vermont’s inimitable songstress-rocker Peg Tassey will be featured this Sunday at “Emulsion” at Club Metronome — on the screen.

SEVEN DAYS

GUIDED BY VOICES, ISOLATION D RILLS (TVT

Records, CD) — When Bob Pollard and gang roll out of the gates on their latest full-length CD, Isolation Drills, it’s only fair for the seasoned fan to expect song after song of pop melody, chiming gui tars and a bit of the shuck-and-jive thrown in. Well, that’s just what you get. Sometimes I find myself thinking, “Is this all there is?” and then “but isn’t that enough?” These days, I’m not so sure. GBV often get the double-standard treatment, and this is no exception. Songs like “Sister I Need Wine,” “The Brides Have Hit the Glass,” “How’s My Drinking?” and the rockin’ single, “Glad Girls” are textbook examples of why Pollard has so many fans. This guy pumps out really good pop songs quite consistently, and this album has a bunch of them. At the same time, I don’t think this is their best effort; at times it seems like a slightly lesser ver sion of their last record. Production-wise, Isolation Drills has the needles pinned to the right, sometimes feeling a bit too heavy-handed. It’s hard-rocking, but somewhat less than inspired. The layers of sound are denser than usual, favoring muddy guitars playing great chord progressions. Pollard could be just punching the clock on this one. But then, I really want every new

april 25, 2001

song to be as good as my old faves. “Unspirited” is really good, but so midtempo that it drags, even as the chorus uplifts. “Pivotal Film” has a nice use of the phrase “grotesque and arrogant.” “Fair Touching” has a cool line, “Perhaps at last the song you sing will have meaning.” “Chasing Heather Crazy” has a good chorus. “Frostman” is a nice, minute-slice of the old lo-fi. Overall, Isolation Drill is a good disc. Maybe the only problem is that it sounds a lit tle too modern-alt-rocky for me, buffing some of the character out of perfectly good songs. But I like “The Brides Have Hit the Glass” so much it’s worth saying twice. As often happens, repeated listenings increase the rewards. Isolation Drills is worth having, but hard-core fans should not get too excited before the first listen. And should definitely not miss their show next Monday at Higher Ground for anything.

— Colin Clary MARTIN SEXTON, WONDER BAR (Atlantic Records,

CD) — I keep hoping that Martin Sexton will final ly prove us all wrong. If you caught him live or on record during the short time he was recording on Eastern Front Records, and touring behind his second album, Black Sheep, you glimpsed where Sexton was heading: vocals which shot from a Tom Waits growl to Van Morrison soul to some angel that could hold an upper-register note for seven measures without a waver; a solo acoustic guitar that could weave cocktail-lounge bass with Hendrix licks; and some wildly origi nal bebop scat backups. It was a joyous ride pro vided by a guy who loved to play. That’s when Atlantic Records signed him, and when things changed. The voice is still there, still rife with raw talent, but the arrange ments became thicker, putting a drum set where Sexton’s guitar pulse used to live, for one thing. Fans began to pine for the self-contained, quiet ly jam-packed sound that Sexton developed while busking in the subways of Boston’s MTA.

On his second Atlantic album, Wonder Bar, the singer still shows glimpses of the divine, but it seems pretty clear where he (or his label) expects to head. On these 11 tracks, it seems like someone’s looking for a white Otis Redding, and on some cuts, includ- » ing “Faith on the Table,” all that’s missing is the Memphis Horns. One of the lines from “Faith on the Table” sticks with me: “It’s not as easy as it looks on TV.” Sexton is damn good when he’s playing himself, less so when modeling someone else’s style. “Casino Foundation” has Bowies “Golden Years” riff pasted all over it. Just when you’re ready to throw in the towel and go rooting around for his earlier stuff, out comes “Where Did I Go Wrong,” in which Sexton has room to soar. After this he goes back into the mix. Frustrating. Sexton sings all the vocals and plays all the gui tars on this record — and does it well, by the way — but of course there’s no way he can’do all that stuff simultaneously live. So this Wednesday at Higher Ground, fans can cross their fingers and see what he’ll do. I hope he’ll click into gear and blow me right out of the room with everything I know he’s still got.

B y M a r c A w odey I n 1971 feminist art critic Lucy Lippard described

foot grid that seems to symbolically describe the passage of life from birth to death. As read from left to right and top to bottom, the final square of the grid is a dark green square with sprigs of olive branch carved onto it. Olive branches are a compli cated symbol, going beyond the well-known repre sentation of peace. They were also associated with

female characteristics in art as “often sensuously tactile and often repetitive to the point of obses sion.” She noted a “preponderance of circular forms” as well as an “indescribable looseness and flexibility of han dling,” among other attributes. While there remains no real agree ment on what a definition of femi nist art should be, Lippard’s cata logue of characteristics comes to mind when considering the carved sculpture of Nancy Azara. A leader of the contemporary feminist art movement, Azara’s most recent work is now on display at the University of Vermont’s Colburn Gallery. Beyond Lippard’s preliminary notions of a feminist aesthetic, there is nothing gender-specific about what Azara presents in these six pieces. Her iconography includes spirals, but they are universal. The scalloped, tactile rhythms of Azara’s wood carving are more closely relat ed to Gaugin’s carvings and woodcuts than to the more domestic sources of feminist art examined by Judy Chicago, Miriam Shapiro, Faith Ringgold and others. And Azara’s references to the spiritual seem more personal than dogmatic. “Sticks with Green” has four sev ered tree limbs mounted on flat, From “Hand Altar,” by Nancy Azara carved panels. As in all of Azara’s works in this show, gold leaf is used in abundance, and she brightens it the wisdom of Athena, and the justice of her wis using the medieval trick of laying the gold leaf over dom, by the ancient Greeks. red paint.

How bad is this? There were times I found myself wishing I were watching Battlefield Earth instead. MTV madman Tom Green directs, cowrote and stars in Freddy Got Fingered, an infantile and tire some series of sketches linked by little other than the escalating hate between a father and son. Green plays an Oregon slacker who dreams of becoming a professional animator. Rip Torn is his old man, a gruff, blue-collar sort who’s had it up to here with the kid living in his basement, his “doodles” and the nearly 30-year-old’s refusal to get a job. As the story opens, Green has finally decided he’s ready for Hollywood, bids his relieved family adieu and hits the road in search of cartoon fame and fortune. Deterred almost immediately, Green turns tail and heads back home. His father’s blood pressure rises as the fruit of his loins squanders his time working on his drawings, evading gainful employment, skate boarding on his homemade ramp, and dating a wheel chair-bound chippy with an oral fixation. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know that tensions mount practically to Middle-Eastern proportions. Torn progresses from merely taunting his son to smashing his beloved skateboard ramp with his pick up. Green goes from using his father’s scuba gear to explore the depths of the family toilet bowl to hiring a helicopter, lifting dad’s beloved sailboat hundreds of feet in the air and letting it smash to the ground below. The funny thing — and one of the few associated with this movie — is that the whole helicopter-boatsmashing thing doesn’t even appear in the film itself. Some of the most surreal and promising material in the trailer and TV ads, in fact, is mysteriously missing from the actual picture. Also a no-show is the hilari

ous sequence in which Green clambers on all fours along a sandwich-assembly track with flaps of cheddar on his head, ranting about his magic “cheese helmet.” Leaving out the funny parts was just one of the oversights made by Green in his directing debut. Basically, the comic found himself faced with the challenge of translating his small-screen persona to the big screen, and miscalculated with virtually every move he made. Struggling to come to grips with how such an innovative talent could have masterminded something so dreadful, I thought back to one of the film’s few remotely entertaining scenes, in which Green dresses up as an English bobby, bursts into a posh L.A. bistro and pounces on the studio boss he hopes will hire him. What made the scene interesting wasn’t so much Green’s acting like a nut in a silly out fit, but the reaction of the studio head and the other patrons to him. The reaction of innocent bystanders to Green’s antics, in retrospect, was very likely the most compelling aspect of his television show as well. The reason Freddy Got Fingered is such an abysmal disappointment isn’t the fact that it’s crude, amateur ish and repellent. It’s the fact that Green forgot he’s only one-half of the comic equation that has led to his success. He’s not a comedian in the traditional sense, someone who entertains by standing up and saying funny things to an audience. He’s an agitator. A con spirator. He’s Allen Funt with brain damage. The secret behind Green’s success has always been this element of interaction, the response of unsuspect ing victims to his Dadaist pranks. That’s what’s miss ing from this movie. The presumption that Green’s brand of humor would work as well in the fictional vacuum of a Hollywood comedy is the principal fac tor in its jaw-dropping failure. ®

Playwright I Joe Calarco’s Off-Broadway I spin on the four-century-old I tragedy — Shakespeare’s R & J I — takes place at a contempoI rary Catholic boys’ school, I where such lusty dramaturgy I is forbidden fruit.

All that snow definitely slowed the flow, but syrup is still serious business at the annual Vermont Maple Festival. Sugarmakers com pete for sweet superiority during a weekend of pony rides, carnival attractions, sugarhouse tours, fiddle per formances and a maple festi val parade. And, of course, the annual “sap run,” which starts at 10 a.m. on Sunday — exactly three hours after they start serving up short stacks at a pancake breakfast that lasts ’til noon.

Stretching 3900 miles from the Andes Mountains of Peru to the Brazilian coast, the lush banks of the Amazon River are home to many ancient indigenous cultures. Marlui Miranda spent years among the Indian peoples of this region and her music echoes their chants, as well as the myriad sounds of nature heard in remote South America. The Brazilian superstar is backed by a quartet playing bass, percussion, key board and flute in a sonorous show that goes the distance.

train of thought After a series of personal cata strophes, Lee Stringer went from owning a successful design studio to living on the streets of New York City, addicted to crack, eating dis carded food and sleeping under a Grand Central Station platform. Somehow he found the resolve to begin writing, and his autobio graphical Grand Central Winter was published in 1998, prompting Kurt Vonnegut to compare the self-educated storyteller to Jack London. Once-strungout Stringer offers above ground inspiration at a bene fit dinner and auction for Vermont Dismas House. Saturday, April 28. Sheraton Hotel, S. Burlington, 5 p.m .

funny food It must be an acquired taste — Gallagher is a provocative humorist whose favorite shtick is air-borne food. With his trademark “Sledge-oMatic,” the comedian uses cottage cheese or fruit salad to help underscore the social commentary in an act that would seem to precede a massive cleanup. He has appeared in cable television specials, some of which have made their way onto Comedy Central, but returns to Vermont to make a mess at Memorial Auditorium. Wear your raincoat. Really.

Dear Cecil, I have a habit o f containing my sneezes by quickly holding my nose and shutting my mouth. It makes sneezing in class, in church, during intimate conversations, and so on much less traumatic. I ’ve got my sneezes down to such a low profile that they’re barely noticeable. But at work the other day, Miss Atomic Sneezer Know-It-All in the next cubicle warned me in all earnestness that containing a sneeze is a sure way to spark a brain aneurysm. Well, I ’m as big a fan as the next girl o f a long and brain aneurysm-less life. So what’s the straight dopei — Katie, Tampa IL L U S T R A T IO N : S L U G S IG N O R IN O

I mean, it’d be one thing if, during some intimate conversation, you threw up on my shoes. But I wouldn’t take you home early because you sneezed. (2) Be that as it may, the chances of your getting a brain aneurysm from a sneeze, stifled or otherwise, are pretty slim. (3) But it could happen. The peril isn’t strictly from containing a sneeze, although this does present some danger. Judging from the case file, you’re equally or more at risk from giving your sneezes full vent. Some cautionary tales: • A 64-year-old man repeatedly experienced severe headaches after sneezing heavily, followed by slurred speech and weakness on his right side. On examination he was found to have two cerebral arterial aneurysms — that is to say, two weakened, enlarged blood vessels in his brain— both as yet unruptured, luckily for him. • After a violent sneeze, a previously healthy 33-yearold man had severe left-side neck pain lasting 10 minutes. He developed partial paralysis and sensory loss on his left side, plus other symptoms. After tests the doctors decided he had unilateral upper cervical posterior spinal artery syn drome, a seven-word noun phrase that’s about as close as you can get to German and still be speaking English. To put it in simpler terms, an aneurysm in the neck following the sneeze probably led to a loss of blood flow to part of the spinal cord, causing nerve problems. It’s not just sneezing that’ll do you in, either. Check out this one: • A 48-year-old woman was hospitalized with blurred vision and partial right-side paralysis. For a time she had been unable to speak. Upon operating, surgeons found and repaired a three-centimeter-wide aneurysm on her carotid artery. What had she done to trigger the episode? She’d blown her nose, forcefully and repeatedly.

You’re thinking: cheezit, iff so much as cough my brain is going to explode like a water balloon. Relax — only a handful of sneeze-related aneurysms have been reported in the medical literature. Moreover, it appears that sneezing per se won’t cause an aneurysm in someone who previously didn’t have one. But the sharp head and neck movements accompanying a violent sneeze may cause the inner and outer walls of a blood vessel to tear loose from one another, an event known as a dissecting aneurysm. Or a sneeze may stir up trouble with a preexisting aneurysm — either it ruptures (although I know of no cases in which this result ed directly from a sneeze) or debris within the aneurysm can block the flow of blood to the brain or another vital organ. So, is suppressing a sneeze bad? Could be, due to some thing called the Valsalva maneuver, better known as a way of relieving pain in the ears caused by a rapid change in elevation. While pinching your nostrils shut, you blow into your nose hard. This opens the Eustachian tubes connect ing your inner ear with your throat and equalizes the pres sure on either side of your eardrums. But because the Valsalva maneuver increases pressure in the chest, it also briefly blocks the blood flow entering the heart, causing a sharp fluctuation in blood pressure. Conceivably this could cause an aneurysm to rupture. You’re performing the Valsalva maneuver when you contain a sneeze, but the same pressure spike can occur during an especially violent sneeze, nose blowing, etc. So while your efforts to be lady like could be harmful, Miss Atomic Sneezer may not be doing herself any favors either. We won’t know till one of you tries it and winds up in ER. Still, no sense fixating on sneezing. The specialists tell me you can pop an aneurysm by doing anything that sig nificantly increases your blood pressure, including (a) straining at stool or (b) having sex. One neurosurgeon I spoke to said he could recall three or four cases of the lat ter. It’s tragic of course. But frankly I can think of worse ways to go. — CECIL ADAM S

SEVEN DAYS .

By RoT brezsny^

A R IES

^a*

Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Based on the Tarot reading I just did, 1 sur mise that this would be a good time for you to seek out product endorse m ent deals. The cards evoked in me a clear vision o f your face appearing on a box of Kelloggs Corn Flakes. On the other hand, if I were making my recommendations based solely on astrological omens, I’d advise you to forget about promoting yourself and concentrate instead on developing and deepening the work that will make you even more worthy of get ting your mug on the Corn Flakes package. W hat to do? As much as I trust my psychic intuitions, I have more faith in the planetary signs. Deemphasize glory and glamour for now; dive in and wrestle with the sticky details.

TAURUS

X.J*

(Apr. 20-May 20): “If men had babies,” notes Elinor Gadon in her book, The Once and Future Goddess, “there would be thou sands of images of crowning, that awesome moment when the baby’s head first appears.” But the art of the last two millennia, though it depicts every other human activity, has ignored childbirth. I bring this up, Taurus, because your imminent future has a metaphorical resem blance to labor and delivery. To whet your imagination for the break through, I’d love for you to gaze upon beautiful images of birth. Because there are so few, you’ll probably just have to close your eyes and visualize them. (P.S. You may be able to find Judy Chicago’s brilliant out-of-print art book, The Birth Project, at the library. It’s an exception to the histor ical taboo. Some of it is also visible on the Web at www.judychicagp.com.)

GEMINI

((May 21-June 20): As we prep you for a possible clash with dopey demons and maladjusted ghosts, we won’t go for help to the world’s major religions. Their holy

books are too serious and grave. None of them seems to have figured out that the number one weapon against diabolical spirits is laughter and tomfoolery. Among the more useful texts are the novels o f Tom Robbins. Let me quote an especially sacred scripture from his Jitterbug Perfume-. “He’d grown convinced that play — more than piety, more than charity or vigilance — was what allowed human beings to transcend evil.”

CA N CER

(June 21-July 22): I’m grateful that you’ve decided not to let your grudges disfigure your future; that you’re ready to end your flirtation with a hundred years of solitude; and that you’re finally plan ning to sit down at the table that was set for you so many moons ago. Soon an up-to-date edition of the big pic ture will bloom in your m ind’s eye, and you will measure up to the stan dard described by F. Scott Fitzgerald: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): It’s your sacred duty to be a generous and extravagant catalyst, Leo. I’m not kid ding when I say I’ll be mad at you if you don’t seek out chances to create inspirational catharses everywhere you go. You have no damn business get ting bogged down in boring trivia that dull your senses or compromise your pleasure. So be an agent of epiphany, please. Accept nothing less than the smartest fun. Exude loving kindness as you push people to the limits that they desperately need to surpass.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you’re not careful, your famous facili

i l

ty for microscopic precision could derail you from this week’s scheduled 12-course feast. I would mourn if you got so full on the appetizer that you spoiled your appetite for the other 11 dishes. Likewise, if you’re not careful, your hair-trigger coping mechanism could accidentally sabotage an exhila rating adventure. It would be a shame for you to prematurely solve a “prob lem” that will, if you let it ripen, lead you to a hidden garden of earthly delights.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s my rule for evaluating any information that comes my way: Assume that it’s a blend of truth and falsehood and every shade o f halftruth in between. That applies equally to stories in The New York Times and to the raving spiels of the homeless prophet who hangs out at my local post office. While the Times usually has a higher proportion of accurate data, I can never be sure where the distortions are embedded in its reports. And then there are those odd days when the scraggly monologist’s rants momentarily become lucid reve lations comparable to the shattering clarity of the poet Rilke. The moral of the story is this, Libra: You just never know where the most useful messages will come from — especially in the coming week.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the old days, when you were more dangerous to yourself, I might have worried about astrological aspects like the ones coming up for you now. But in recent years you’ve been more willing to negotiate with the renegade parts of your psyche. You’ve sometimes made deals with them before they’ve become desperate enough to commit massive mischief. Now and then I’ve even seen you

l I

^ ^ k

(Q T g

maneuver those rebels into working for you. Well guess what, Scorpio? They’re ba-a-a-a-ck. And this time they’re being led by a specter that • looks an awful lot like your evil twin. But I have confidence in your ability to turn the situation to your advan tage. A good place to start would be to figure out what goals you and your evil twin have in common.

SA G ITTA RIU S

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Suggested book for those of you who are resisting a good change that would only be uncom fortable in the short run: Thomas Moore’s Care o f the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life. Advice for those of you who feel God hasn’t been responding well to your requests: Shout out sweaty prayers while dancing to the music that moves you to tears and shivers. Recommended action for those of you who desperately want to break a habit that chronically under mines your best relationships: Shift the blame for the problem onto a silly scapegoat like Bugs Bunny or Gwyneth Paltrow; go around saying, “It’s all Bill Gates’ fault.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): In his autobiography, bas ketball great Wilt Chamberlain bragged that he had boinked 20,000 women. While I don’t find this feat particularly admirable, it’s my duty to report that you could now m ount a challenge to Chamberlain’s record. Your animal magnetism will be peak ing in the coming weeks, as will your vigor, your lust and your hunger for variety. Furthermore, your karmic credit is excellent; there would be rel atively little hell to pay from even the most extravagant adventures. I should mention that it’s also theoretically possible for you to satisfy your epic

urges with a single partner if you’re unusually creative. W hich, by the way, the plane tary omens say you are.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your voracious need for autono my is one of your great motivators. In normal times, you’re constantly writ ing and rewriting your own personal Declarations of Independence in the back of your mind. As of today, how ever, the forces that usually drive you must begin to come to terms with a curious new factor: your growing desire for more nourishing intimacy with the people you care about. It will be fascinating to see how you handle this showdown. Will it be a clash or collaboration? For best results, I suggest that sometime soon you celebrate a new holiday: Interdependence Day.

P IS C E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Your strategies are very close to work ing. The results you have generated so far are on the brink o f being beautiful and bordering on successful. But it’s right here at the edge of almost that your attention is most likely to wan der. Unless you receive a friendly shock (like from reading this horo scope), you may mistake the tempo rary lull for the absolute end. Please don’t give up now, Pisces. Refuse to be satisfied with your partial victories. Summon the relaxed stamina and ingenious courage to go all the way. Here’s a mantra that may help whip up the necessary magic: “Commit randomT acts of chutzpah.”

Dear Lola, My girlfriend used to have just the scfrest body, like a leaf of Wonderbread. Words can't describe the satisfaction I felt sinking into her giving flesh and losing myself there. Unfortunately, what I considered ravishing, she considered fat, and no number of reassurances from me were able to con vince her that she was absolutely perfect just the way she was. Much to my disappointment, she put herself on a near-starva tion diet and started work ing out. Now my formerly fulsome femme is as hard bodied and skinny as a French baguette. I still love her very much, but her physique fails to enthrall me. What should I do? Disappointed in Danville Dear Disappointed, Body image is as com plicated as multi-grain bread, your words of reas surance can't even begin to compete with the mes sages your girlfriend is bombarded with by the broader culture. If she continues to diminish to the point of dangercusness, I would urge her to seek professional help. For your part, I'm sorry to say that an attitude adjust ment may be in order. Good luck to both of you. Love,
