FTAA AFFECTS US ALL I would like to express my disagreement with the FTAA negotiations in Quebec and the quasi-fascist military mobiliza tion that provided “security” for the event by keeping the affect ed citizens out o f the process. I didn’t make it up to the border, but I marched in Burlington on Saturday and I’ve written quite a few letters and e-mails urging environm en talists, labor advocates, politi cians and ordinary people to mobilize against the FTAA.

REEFERS ONLY O N E SLICE O F T H E PIE I’m used to the major media either blackballing the Vermont Grassroots Party (VGP) or pigeonholing us into a single issue party, but I was taken aback when I read Susan Green’s article [“Grass Acts”, April 18] in which she called the VGP “the reefer worship ping political party.” It is quite true that we call for an end to prohibition and an end to the failed, costly, ineffective and destructive War on Drugs, which is leading us into a major civil war in Colombia. Yes, we want to save the family farm and restore our civil liberties by allowing cannabis to be grown for per sonal, medical and industrial uses. But “reefer worshipping party”? If she read our flyer/platform over the last eight years she would know we are on the cutting edge and have positions on lots o f different issues. We’d like to end America’s oil addic tion and declare independence

from the petro-pharmaceutical cartels. The Grassroots Party wants to retire Vermont and America’s debt. We want a bal anced budget. We want an end to corporate welfare. We want to abolish the tools o f the glob al plantation masters and inter national banksters and thus seek an end to the Federal Reserve Corporation banking system, rethink the IMF, the W T O , repeal NAFTA & GATT and the FTAA. We believe in fair trade, not free trade. We seek to preserve Vermont and America’s sover eignty. We want to invest in Vermonters first and preserve our natural beauty and make polluters pay. We seek to restructure the Vermont tax sys tem. We don’t believe in unfunded mandates, but we do

support a living wage for all workers. The Grassroots Party wants to prom ote Vermont’s small businesses, products and tourism.

Two popular New York City nightclubs, Twilo and the Roxy, acknowledged they have hired a private ambulance company to stand by to treat club patrons who overdose on illegal drugs. Twilo’s attorney, Peter Sullivan, said the club took the step because the city refuses to deal with the problem. “Until the dance public changes,” Sullivan said, “it will become a necessary part of the business.”

Driven to Distraction A truck flipped over on a Houston freeway dumping 46,000 pounds of chicken and creating a five-hour traffic jam as dozens of people raced to the scene to help themselves to the processed poultry, ignoring warnings from officials that the birds could be contaminated after touching the ground. “Anytime you get anything free, it’s got to be the work of God,” passerby Ray Hutcherson told television station KTRK after stuffing boxes of chicken into his car. The driver of the rig told police he lost control of the rig while lighting a cigarette. • After analyzing more than 26,143 crashes, the American Automobile Association’s

Foundation for Traffic Safety concluded that driver distraction played a role in about half. But motorists using or dialing cell phones accounted for only 1.5 percent of the distractions. Among all the accidents blamed on distracted drivers, the study found that nearly 20 percent involved something outside the car, such as billboards, signs, people and other accidents. Nearly 19 percent of the acci dents were caused by people who were distracted by some thing they were eating or drink ing, such as the North Carolina man who reached to grab a drink that had begun to topple and ran into a power pole. More than 11 percent were caused by fiddling with radios and CD players, and 9.4 percent resulted from distractions by other occu pants of their vehicles, including crying children.

T he hundreds of thousands of pinholes the insects leave in the insulation allow moisture to enter, causing breakdowns along the four-mile power line.

New York City securities administrator Esther Penn, 35, was putting away the day’s receipts in a basement vault of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. in Manhattan when she was accidentally locked inside. She pulled the fire alarm, thinking it would summon help, but instead it triggered a carbon-dioxide fire extinguishing system, which sucked all the air from the room, suffocating the woman. • When Todd Galmbert, a farm worker in New Iberia, Louisiana, found his'truck battery dead, he called a nearby garage for advice on jump starting the vehicle. He interrupted the instructions to say he just remembered he had a cattle prod with him and could use it to energize the battery. Despite the garage’s warning that such a procedure was extremely hazardous, Galmbert activated the prod with one hand on the engine block while his compan ion tried the starter motor, caus ing Galmbert to receive the full force of the stun. The electrical arc started a fire, which killed him and destroyed the truck. “Here was one guy who fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down,” a garage spokesperson said. “What can you do?” ®

LIG H T S O N ... How many guys does it take to fire up the Old Lantern? Three — antiques dealer Jim D ick e rso n , photographer Peter Colem an and state emergency manager Ed VOn Tu rkovich are the proud owners of the old-style dancehall in Charlotte. For years, Chittenden County’s country concert venire was an on-again-off-again proposition. Former owner Earl B u rn s helped construct the famous maple dance floor, but when it came to managing the place, his style was decidedly hands-off. “All last summer the phone rang, and Earl had taken home the answer ing machine,” Coleman says. His “method of referral” was an envelope tacked to the office door with Dickerson’s name and number scrawled on it. Last September, Burns sold the place, and surrounding five acres, for a cool $225,000. A real steal. Coleman comments, “As soon as we got the phone working again, we were back in business.” O f course, a sold-out concert this week with Jerry Jeff Walker will also help get the word out. The place is available for rent, but Coleman and his partners plan to present shows of their own — mostly deejayed dances. In the meantime, they’ll leave the light, and the answering machine, on for ya...

Off th e m a rk e tp la c e ET TU, VOODOO? How do you follow up a high-tech Hamlet and a hiphop Romeo and Juliet? A Mardis Gras Macbeth, natch, set in the birth place of jazz and African-American dance. A team of nationally acclaimed directors, musicians and choreographers is converging on the Flynn Center for a week in June -— on the heels of the Discover Jazz Festival — to develop a new theater piece that recasts the King of Scotland in post-Civil War New Orleans. Vo-Du Macbeth was inspired by a 1936 Orson Welles production of the same name, in which the Elizabethan action was “adapted” to 19th-century Haiti. The co-creators are looking to pay a handful of professional musicians — two master drummers, four female vocalists and five instrumentalists — and a bunch of actors to participate in a staged reading at the end of the week. And there are public workshops offered almost every evening with luminaries like African dance choreographer Chuck Davis and vocalist and composer P h ilip Ham ilton — a Middlebury grad who sang with the Pat Metheny Group. The Flynn gets co-commissioning credit on this one.

IN B R IE F : The University of Vermont is already laying claim to Em ily N

Bernard, an African-American studies prof bound for the Burlington

campus next fall. That’s because the Harlem Renaissance scholar landed on the cover of The New York Times Book Review three Sundays ago for her volume of letters between Langston Hughes and Carl Van Vechten. She was on C-Span’s “Booknotes” program the same day. Remember Me to Harlem, the Times wrote, “serves up a textured, ironic, ribald and fre quently poignant interracial friendship between two remarkable talents. The intellectual relationship was vital to the success of Hughes, who was to become one of the 20th century’s most gifted poets and inter preters of the black experience.” Unfortunately for Groovy UV, which could use a little good publicity right now, the Times linked Bernard to her current employer: Smith College . . . The term “silent movie” is a bit of a misnomer. Before “talkies,” live, locally hired musicians supplied the audio. The scores were largely improvised, according to Tim T a v ca r, who is reviving the practice starting May 18 with a monthly film series at the Vergennes Opera House. “Friday Flicks” pairs up classic silents with indigenous instrumentalists, and there are still a few slots available. Pete and K aren Suth erland are going to take a whack at The Getieral. T a lism an have signed up for Way Down East. “This is a trial balloon,” says Tavcar, noting Vergennes restaurateur Su e Q uesnel donated a Steinway upright to the project. The opera house recently purchased three 16mm film projectors from the University of Vermont . . . Burlington City Arts gets you coming and going. It’s responsible for the 38-panel art installation that greets arrivals and departures in the new concourse at Burlington International Airport. “It looks like a real air port,” S a ra K atz says of the spanking-new addition, which is nicely funkified by the organic stretch of carved red maple, sugar maple saplings and woven birch veneer meant to “evoke the continuity of the Vermont landscape, northern forests and patterning of trees.” In some sections, the wood slats are arranged horizontally, like Venetian blinds, and printed with what looks to be dated entries from a old weather journal. “Good weather but no sleighing.” “Cold with snow squalls.” Makes for soboring reading when you’re waiting for a plane. The collab oration between E liza b e th B illin g s and Andrew W asserm an cost the city $36,000. Now, about those parking spaces . . . Underhill banjo player Bob Y e llin is quoted in a Vanity Fair article this month. Inspired by a forthcoming book by David Hajdu, “Bound For Glory” revisits the relationship of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. A former member of the Greenbriar Boys, Yellin was at ground zero — Greenwich Village — during the folk revival. “There was something going on all the time,” he comments, “if you liked the music.” Yellin is the owner of Calliope Music on Main Street in Burlington . . . ®

Sifter V erm ont's international " G a l” c ru cifie s W estern religion in a new, one-w om an show By Pamela P olston anice Perry wants to meet at Bixby Memorial Library in Vergennes, where, she informs, “I’m the queen.” A beat later she qualifies, “O f course, anyone can be queen there.” It’s a classic Janice Perry line: a bit of gloating followed by self-depreca tion. Pride goeth before a joke, you might say. The same tactic works in her one-woman shows — next week at Contois Auditorium in Burlington, Holy Sh*t: Stories From Heaven and Hell will surely be no exception. It’s one of her gifts as a performer that, when you can’t tell whether she’s serious, she usually is. When I arrive at the library Perry has already made herself at home in a small meeting room — the Vermont history room, actually — in the front. But before the interview she wants to show me around a bit. The place is, in fact, amazing. Thousands of people motor past it on Route 22A with scarcely a second glance, much less a look inside. Built in 1912, its quietly dignified exterior gives way to a spectacular stained-glass dome three stories high. Perry feels pro. prietary about the place because, she says, she has all her meetings here — it’s conveniently located near her home in Ferrisburgh. And a few years back the Bixby s octogenarian librarian singled her out for her a personal “donation to the arts.” “She knew I was in trouble,” says Perry, “and she wanted to help me.” This sunny Saturday morn ing, Perry is still a little jetlagged; she just returned from one of her European tours, and her internal clock hasn’t adjusted yet. Furthermore, she came home to find the mice in her house were ahead. “I’ve been keeping score,” she explains. “Its mice 31,

me 14.” W hat earned them extra points this time was that the mice had a “soap fest” in the bathtub — meaning they chewed the bejesus out of a bar. “I found an impressive mound of mice shit under the soap dish,” Perry says with grudging admiration for the creatures overrunning her 19th-century home — a rural outpost she bought for $3000 in 1974. “Nature has complete access to my house,” she laments. Her retaliation is swift but gentle: Perry captures the rodents in a Havahart trap and releases them somewhere outside. But not just any place. “I put them near the houses of people I don’t like,” she confesses. Guiltily, she reveals that she’d released a few near one person’s house only to find out he’d moved months earlier. She’s serious. And the anecdote says a lot about Janice Perry, a.k.a. “Gal,” a native Vermonter and nature lover whose calling hap pily includes telling people exactly what she thinks and making them laugh about it. It’s a talent that recently won her a Ful bright Scholarship as a “Senior Cultural Specialist.” More on that later. Perry’s most recent, two-month trip to Europe included jobs in Germany, England and Amsterdam, and “Switzerland for pleas ure.” Since 1982 she’s been performing on both sides of the Atlantic — far more overseas, in fact, than here. For some years Perry benefited from the generous funding for the arts in Europe — small the aters and other venues were able to invite her back again and

again. That’s waned significantly since the Berlin wall came down and, she says, “everyone in Eastern Europe moved to Germany.” Money for the arts declined as the need for social services increased. “It’s the same in England,” Perry says. She went from 80 to 120 jobs a year in Europe to just 14 last year. * For the most part, from Berlin to Burlington, audiences have been delighted by Perry’s unique and highly physical com mand of satire, candor, insight and, not least, her zany costumes and near-operatic singing. She’s an uncensored feminist and a humanist; she pokes fun at the foibles of mankind — emphasis, perhaps, on man — but gets the

While her humor can be laser-sharp and is always irrever ent, Perry sagely points out, “Anyone who would come to see a show called Holy Sh*t is not likely to be offended.” And if they were, they’d be missing the point — not to mention some pants-wetting giggles. In the new work as well as earlier ones, such as Out From Underground — a retrospective that she showed in Burlington in 1998 — Perry has played to all kinds of audiences. Hip students to little old ladies; lesbians to corporate businessmen. And many nationalities. While performing in English has not been much of a handicap with multi-lingual Europeans, some theater-goers in the good old U.S. of A. have not quite understood. “When I performed at the University of Southern Utah,” Perry says, “someone called me the Devil and ran screaming from the room. She’s proba bly as proud of that judg ment as accolades that liken her to “a cross between Doris Day and a high-velocity rifle.” Perry is adamant that her shows are not gender- or sexualorientation-specific. Her shows “have universal themes that are

Great Cosmic Joke: that, like it or not, we’re all in this together. And for Perry, outrageous is nor mal. “I invented German cabaret,” she’ll claim. “O f course, they didn’t realize that I’d invent ed it.”

relevant to everyone,” Perry insists. “I would love everyone to see my show; it’s about being a human being.”. Perry recalls the time she was performing “the les bian bondage skit — with a fly swatter — and this 73-year-old heterosexual couple in the front row burst out laughing,” she says. “I love to find the points where we’re exactly the same. . . I expect them to go home thinking about what I said.”

he thinning gigs in Europe were okay with Perry, because she’d been wanting to take some time off and stay close to home, writing and being outdoors — she’s an avid hiker and camper. But “I was freaked out about money for the first three months,” she admits. “Then I just accepted it.” Besides, Perry has found another way to make money with her art: teaching. For the longest time she rejected the very idea, but the Vermont Arts Council nudged her into it. “I love the Vermont Arts Council, they’re really great and so supportive of me. But this whole teaching thing is their fault,” she says in faux protest. “I was looking at all the grants available and they were all about education. Fm an artist, not a teacher!”she mimics her previous haughty objection. But with a little encouragement — and frankly needing more income — Perry finally started teaching in earnest in the past few years. Much to her surprise, she totally loves it. And in the last eight years, she says, “I really know something.” She has subsequently devel oped a workshop for writers and performers, entitled “Larger Than Life: Creating Autobio graphically Based Performance,” and didn’t waste any time earning

rave reviews on several conti nents. In the workshops, which combine theater and writing, participants develop texts based on their own lives, and then act them out. The writing seems to benefit from the drama, and vice versa, and the techniques can be directed toward special topics, such as discrimination, race or class issues, or abuse. At Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg, the ater teacher Robin Fawcett invit ed Perry to lead a couple of workshops with her students “in hopes she’d contaminate us,” she says. “I hadn’t seen work like hers around here before; she gets you laughing and then socks you in the gut,” notes Fawcett, a former self-described “theater person” from New York. “Janice uses all her skills as a writer, wit, actor, dancer, visual artist and costume designer to surprise us, to get us to accept the unacceptable.” Fawcett marvels that Perry got her young pupils to tell their own stories with hum or and insight. “Nothing less than cre ative visualization happened with those students,” she says. Perry has another fan in Richard Steggerda, an English teacher at Mt. Abraham High School in Bristol. Thanks to a VAC grant, his Advanced Placement classes worked through group and individual exercises, improvisation and autobiographical works in progress with Perry, he explains. “It was a way to enter a writing process they’d never thought about before; they’d physically move around a space and create a memoir through movement. It was pretty amazing.” Steggerda believes “patience, honesty and a genuine interest in the students’ lives” are Perry’s greatest gifts as a teacher. “She

gets them to take risks they don’t ordinarily take in a normal class room,” he says. “They were eager to share their work. Janice has an uncanny ability to get people to write that’s both entertaining and revealing.” Receiving a Fulbright Scholarship — which pays travel, expenses and a per diem for a Fulbright Arrtist project — enabled Perry to take her work shop on the road. O r rather, on an airplane. She had applied for the scholarship because “I wanted to make it easier for foreign uni versities to hire me,” she explains. Getting it “means I’m govern ment-approved. It’s just nice to finally, at 50, be accepted as legit imate. Last fall, a grant from Vermont’s Autumn Harp Foundation allowed Perry to join a British colleague, Luke Dixon, at the University of Port Elizabeth in the New Brighton Township of South Africa. Perry worked with a group of young women, ages 18 to 24, who are members of a singing, dancing and drumming group called Tambora. She calls the opportu nity to work with Africans “enlightening.” Perry expected that, given the oral traditions of the Xhosa tribe, the women would be more fluid

in movement and perhaps less self-conscious than, say, honkies in North America. W hat she found was that the young women’s physical gestures were so ingrained by ritual that her sug gestions they could change were met with astonishment. Somehow, Perry managed to break through, and helped them write autobiographical texts that would enable them to share their lives with audiences. The experi ence “deepened my understand ing of my own work, and of the ater in general,” she later wrote to Dixon. While she was in South Africa, Perry found herself in the role of spontaneous diplomat when she, Dixon and two women from Sweden visited a neighboring township. A group of about 800 people were attend ing some kind of event featuring speeches by members of the African National Congress, and much singing and dancing. In time, each of the guests was introduced to the crowd as “for eign dignitaries who had come to witness our poverty.” The first three were stiff and embarrassed and befuddled by the funky handshake employed by the presiding host — which Perry just happened to have learned. She decided, when her

name was called, to go all out. “I was wearing this really big man’s shirt and pants with lobsters, and I’m walking up to the stage and these 800 people are dancing and clapping. I thought, ‘I’m one of the only white people who’ve ever been in their township, and maybe the only Am erican... I’m going to dance.'” Perry says she heard a kind of roar, and when she turned around the entire crowd was on its feet, imitating her dance and cheering. “It was my proudest moment; I was representing my country and it was totally great. I thought, ‘what a great job I have.’” Perry pauses for a moment and adds, “Except in the money, it’s perfect.” Perry met up with the women of Tambora again this March, when they were performing in England. “They’d never been outside their township and they were, like, ‘Oh, yeah, London,”’ she says, feigning indifference. “They were the coolest people there.” She’s hoping to get the group to the U.S. to perform. In between European gigs this spring, Perry did her workshop with “a group of old lesbians” in Florida. “I’d been teaching most ly college age and high school,” she explains, “and I wanted to try older people.” She discovered

that her techniques crossed gen erations as easily as genders. “Because the work is autobio graphical,” she says, “people freak out; it doesn’t matter if you’re 15 or 65.” Then she took the class to Amsterdam, to some American students studying gender and sexuality at the School for International Training. She dubbed it “a blast.” While the assignments and techniques are the same from one workshop to another, the focus might be very different, Perry notes, adding, “The themes usu ally emerge by themselves.” ie theme of Janice Perry he be began to unfold on October 25, 1950. She attended Spaulding High School in Barre, 2; where her mother and two broth ers still live. She has one sister in Ohio. “They’re all pretty funny,” she says of her family. “My mother was a singer, dancer and pianist and loved theater. My paternal grandmother was into poetry and performance.” Her late physician father was a gener al practitioner. Perry graduated from Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, where she majored in English “with philosophy and religion on the side.” Returning

to Vermont after college, Perry sang in a band called The Casuals from 1974 to ’79, per forming standards and rock ’n’ roll. She also worked for a feder al welfare program that helped women and children get food and essential services. “I used to drive people to the doctor and dentist,” she recalls with satisfac tion. “It was something they actually needed.” Like many a young college grad with uncertain goals, Perry also “waitressed a lot.” But she was always writing. In the late ’70s, she took all the money she had — about $700 — and dropped out for two years to just write. “In those days, you could live on that kind of money,” she says. As she honed her writing, * the work got shorter and shorter, some of it turning into songs. “In 1981, I was invited to

perform at a women’s musical festival in New England,” Perry says. “It was my first real gig [as a solo performer]. I sang for about 45 minutes to 2000 peo ple. I’d say, ‘This is a love song to a dog,’ then I’d sing the song. It was fantastic! People in the audience were totally grooving. It was great to think ‘it’s not just me. Someone in that audience invited Perry to Boston, and someone in the Boston audience invited her to Amsterdam. Perry’s intercontinental career was launched. More friendly rec ommendations took her to Denmark, then London. “I left home with a thousand dollars and was gone three or four months,” she remembers with a smile. “It was just before Margaret Thatcher, and the arts had loads of money. It was total ly exciting,” she adds. “I’d been totally isolated here, making up stuff in my head. Then, I saw all these performers and work; I did a lot of benefits — it was a totalimmersion education.” Janice Perry the performer was profoundly influenced by working in Europe: She had to become “more universal.” Though her audiences tended to

be sophisticated, playing to nonnative-English speakers led her to use more movement, broad gestures and dramatic facial expressions, as well as to include some words, place names and current events or issues from whatever country she was in. “I used to wing a lot of stuff in the beginning,” she says, “which gave [the shows] a lot of energy, but it was really uneven.” She learned to plan. “When I did the retrospec tive, it was incredible to apply [to the older work] everything I’d learned about costuming, lighting, how to move my body.” For several years, though, moving her body became painful, then nearly impossible. During a camping trip to Virginia in 1989, Perry was bit ten by a tick and developed Lyme disease. Though it took her quite a while to figure that out — her local doctor dismissed the symptoms, saying women of her age often “experience a lot of changes,” she recalls, rolling her eyes. A Lyme disease center in Connecticut finally confirmed the illness. “I got really tired and hurt a lot,” Perry says of the initial stages. Later, she was practically paralyzed. “It got to where I couldn’t read — one of my greatest pleasures — and couldn’t even follow TV shows,” she says. “All I had thought about was my career, then I couldn’t even think. I was 38 one day and 85 the next.” Though she continued to tour as long as possible, eventu ally Perry had to stop. For nine months she didn’t work at all; she had no health insurance, and the antibiotics she was prescribed cost $7.50 per pill. It was then that the Vergennes librarian gave Perry some money. Things began to turn around when a friend recommended a Chinese doctor. “He gave me some herbs and I felt better almost immediately,” Perry attests. Now she sees a healer in London when she’s there, prac tices yoga, and has started run ning. “Or shuffling, really,” she amends. “Spiritually, I feel more evolved — I’ve let go of baggage I had in my thirties and forties. I’ve always said change really starts with you, but now I really know what that means.” In Holy Sb*t, a satire on the lives of saints and “miracles from modern life,” Perry tells about one miracle of her own — an experience one night in a small German town. Conquering Lyme disease ought to count as another. “You have to have three,” she explains, “to become a saint.” Now if only she could get rid of those mice. . .

Never before.

Never again.

very time one of my hillbil ly relatives comes to visit me in Super-Sex City, they always have the same burning question on their mind: “Chris, where do we go to swing in this here Montreal?” And I always feel like an ass, because, consum mate urban hipster that I am, I have to admit that I don’t know. So I decided it was time I finally got down to doing a little hard research and, after about 20 seconds online, stumbled across this members-only club in Rosemount that offers something they call Gang Bang Nights. Sounded good. I rang them up. “How much is it going to cost me to get in to Gang Bang Night?” I inquired, knowing this would be the determining factor as to whether I would visit the place. “A hundred dollars for a single male,” said the very ethnic voice on the other end of the line. “A hundred dollars!” I shout-

ed. “Holy doodle, what the fuck’s going down there for a hundred bucks?” “One girl for every three boy, good deal, guaranteed action lor you, good deal.” But it didn’t sound like all that good a deal to me. “It’s free if you bring your wife along,” the guy added, per haps sensing my reluctance, “but she has to participate in the Gang Bang. Maybe you come on Couples Night if you not so sure. Fifty dollars. Or free admission if you bring girl, no obligation for her, good deal for you.” I sensed a bargain, so come Friday I was all wound up to go. Unfortunately, my wife, who had reluctantly agreed to accompany me on this most important fact finding expedition, got sick with the flu and ended up backing out — leaving me with no choice but to replace her with my old friend Harry Glickman, a fortysome thing sexual adventurer with a little bit of a gut, a thinning hair line and a healthy taste for all

things unsavory. It was a partner switch that ended up costing both of us an extra $50 at the door. Assured by the doorman that two handsome studs like our selves stood an excellent chance of being asked to participate in a threesome with some lucky cou ple, we forked over the cash — me with tears in my eyes — and stepped through the curtain into what we expected to be some thing like a scene out of Fellini’s Satyricon. But no go. It was more like a scene from A Night at the Roxbury. Yeah, there were plenty of couples there, and not all of them gross and skanky, but nobody was naked and, for the most part, the joint wasn’t much different than your average Repentigny disco. Music courtesy of Britney Spears and the Venga Boys, with a lot of 30-ish couples in clothes from Cohoes sitting around on the club’s fake leather couches, ignoring each other.

The only positive exception being one plump Goth chick —who struck me as maybe having emotional problems — with her tits half pulled out of her bustier for a couple of enthusiastic clowns to chow down on. Yum. Apparently all the action was going down in some mysterious orgy room that they had hidden away 1 upstairs. But unless we scored with an eager couple, this sexual nirvana was strictly off-limits to us single males. And good luck hooking up with a couple. Nobody seemed eager to escort a pair of awkward voyeurs into the orgy room. As for single girls, well, big surprise, outside of a few bikini-clad

“hostesses” guarding the stairway to heaven, I didn’t see one all night. But, 1 reminded myself, I was here on a research mission, not to pick up chicks. Besides, a couple more $5 beers in my system and what was I going to care about swinging, anyway? I settled in for the long haul. And I was doing fine just soaking up the kitschy atmos phere, until Harry started getting depressed and tried to bum my flow by informing me a day has n’t gone by in the past 10 years that he hasn’t considered killing himself. “That’s nice,” I told him, try

voveurs into the

ing to change the subject. “Maybe we should try to storm the doors of the orgy room now and see what happens?” So off we went in a desperate attempt to try to get our $50 worth of swinging. But ho chance. We weren’t 10 feet from the staircase before a three-strong mob of “hostesses,” no doubt familiar with this kind of behavior from single dudes, encircled us and let us know in no uncertain terms that this sort of stunt was strictly frowned upon, and that if we ever tried pulling this shit again we would be barred from the club for life. God forbid. Sensing increasingly bad vibes coming our way now that we had proven ourselves to be so blatant ly uncool, we split about five minutes later, Harry more bummed than ever, and me with out any real, solid info to be able to report to my loved ones next time they come to town. But, you know, at least I made the effort. ®

Even so, his estimate was probably low, he admits — he made the calcula tions before the birth of his daughter Chani, now 3. Starting a family, and If creating a center of their own, .were the main rea sons Krech and Anderson decided to move north to Vermont — where the ud ToDo Institute has been certifying individuals, teachers and mental health counselors in Japanese psy chological methods since 1992. After six years out side Middlebury, the insti tute relocated to a quiet road in Monkton, where it hosts a mostly out-of-town clientele. The entire staff of the Riverside School, a restH idential center for troubled 2 boys in Massachusetts, is ToDo trained. Retreats and special workshops, like the upcoming “Working with Challenging Children” program, draw only a modest numbers of natives. As the O article illus trates, the non profit insti tute, which runs on a $100,000 annual budget, is getting extra mileage from the Internet.

Reynolds, last month in a feature article. In “The Radical Road to Self-Esteem,” by Annie Gottlieb, he suggests it is more effective to simply “do what needs to be done” than to visualize success, heal wounds from your past or chant affirma tions into the mirror every morning. The article also made mention of the ToDo Web site. “We’ve gotten perhaps 500 inquiries so far,” Krech notes.

ike the institute he runs, Krech’s background com bines dual interests in psy chology and spiritual practices. After a boyhood in the Chicago area, and college in Northern Indiana, he became a student of Eastern philosophies and Buddhism. When he then felt a pull toward work in psychology, he was shocked. “Here I had spent all this time learning about Buddhism and Eastern thought, which stresses service to others and compassion toward others, and all of American psychology seemed to be captured in book titles like Looking Out for Number One, or How to Get the Love You Deserve. ” His search for a psychology that matched his Eastern-fla vored philosophy led him to encounters with Reynolds, and he met his future wife Linda Anderson when they worked as assistants at a Reynolds-led retreat in the Shenandoah Valley. He was hooked enough to head for Japan, where there are more than 40 operating Naikan centers. Krech observed ordinary people benefiting from personal

By George T habault he Japanese know how to do M others Day — or per haps we should say M others Week. Americans typi cally express “luv-you-mom” sen timents with a store-bought card, a phone call, maybe some flowers or a gift swept up on a sprint through the mall, or perhaps a meal out. Most folks can usually find time for some dutiful hom age to Mom, once a year. In Japan, though, the M others Day “routine” is any thing but. Naikan therapy — one of two Japanese therapeutic meth ods underlying an alternative mental-health approach called “Constructive Living” — offers a radically different take on the observance. Naikan means “inside observation” or “intro spection.” Developed in the 1950s by Yoshimoto Ishin, a devout Buddhist, Naikan asks people to reflect on three central questions. In the case of Mom, the questions are: 1. W hat did I receive from my mother? 2. W hat did I give to my mother? 3. W hat troubles and difficul ties did I cause her? You can practice Naikan for 20 or 30 minutes at the end of : each day. But a full-fledged Naikan retreat — five days, 15 hours a day — is the best way to

dig in. • You don’t have to fly to the Land of the Rising Sun to spend a week reflecting on the three big questions. You can do it at a lit tle-known farmhouse-style educa tional center on 12 acres in Monkton, where Gregg Krech

onstructive Living has not exactly taken this country by storm, and Krech has learned a little something about patience in the process. He wrote a book on the subject that has been 10 years in the making. Naikan: Gratitude, Grace and the Japanese A rt o f Self-Reflection will be published by Stonebridge Press of Berkeley this fall. A lot of publishers shied away from the topic, Krech notes, because the third question — asking how you’ve caused problems for others — is an uncomfortable one in New Age and trendy self-help circles. The Naikan questions reveal an essential difference between Constructive Living and tradi tional Western psychotherapy, suggests Anderson, a social work er who worked 14 years at two psychiatric rehab centers. “When I was in counseling,” she says, “I was directed to look at the imperfections of my par ents, talking about what it meant to me to have to put up with them. But in Naikan, the third question is quite different and very radical: ‘W hat troubles or difficulties might I have caused my parents?”’ Anderson says con ventional therapists don’t warm up easily to the notion that a client should consider this an important question. “There is a tendency in tradi tional therapy to become very self-focused and self-absorbed — always checking in on every

David K. Reynolds, Ph.D., is the leading Western authority on the Morita and Naikan Japanese psychotherapies. In his writings and talks, he likes to present the fundamentals of Constructive Living in short stories, sayings and maxims. Here are some of his oft-quoted missives: • Behavior wags the tail of feelings. Behavior can be used sensibly to produce an indirect influence on feelings. Sitting in your bathrobe doesn’t often stimulate the desire to play tennis. Putting on tennis shoes and going to the courts, racket in hand, might. • The idea that nobody ever cared about me or nobody ever under stood me is based on self-centeredness and stupidity. • I wish I weren’t miserable. Misery is often associated with wishfiii statements beginning “I wish,” or “If only,” “They ought to,” “He should have,” “Why didn’t I,” and so forth. When were miserable, we’re miserable. Now what needs doing next? • If it’s raining and you have an umbrella, use it. Don’t endure unpleasant circumstances that can be changed by action. • Self-centeredness is suffering. Selfish, self-protective, self-serving attitudes always produce neurotic suffering. Self-abandonment in the service of a positive goal always reduces neurotic suffering. Ordinary suffering is unavoidable, but self-focused suffering is unnecessary. Buddhists call it “suffering on top of suffering.” • Q uit only when you’re succeeding. W hen a job is boring or diffi cult, the person in a neurotic moment is likely to want to quit. This maxim advises us to stick through the initial discomfort and to resign, if that becomes necessary, only after mastering the job. To change after success, rather than after failure, gives a different psy chological tone to subsequent activities, such as job-seeking. Above all, avoid building a history of failure. • Every moment a fresh one. W hat I did just now is already past. Whether that moment brought success or failure, the next moment is now arriving. Herein lies existential hope — not as a feeling, but as an integral part o f reality. • Unpleasant doesn’t mean bad. There is a possibility of good in even the most unpleasant feelings. The goal in Constructive Living is not to eliminate these feelings, but to accept and even use them as signs of what needs to be done. • Complainers keep drawing their own attention to their own mis ery, thus exaggerating it. Meanwhile, their constant complaints alienate those around them. • Stick it in your hara. The hara is in the lower abdomen. It is con sidered by the Japanese to be the center of spiritual energy. This maxim is offered to people who act impulsively without considering the effects of words. They are advised to put their thoughts and feelings into hara and wait. W hen they have ripened or faded away, then i t i le to actA’A * | • Confidence Hows success. Some people believe they should undertake a ture only after they feel confident of their ability to do it. With attitude they rarely start any ventures. Trembling and unsure, w out confidence, we give life a try. Confidence comes after w< e succeeded, not before. • Feelings th e ^ L jE m o tio n s are sometimes cloudy; sometimes s o can control the weather? x 'V* j • The point o this moment well, and this moment, and this moment. The ■seems to take care o f itself.

Naikan Do... continued from page 15 nuance of change in your feel ings,” Anderson notes. “T hat’s counterproductive in the long run.” Constructive Living asks that people shift their focus of atten tion instead toward other people and the outside world. “Our goal is not really to fix feelings,” says Anderson. “O ur energy is much more about acting on the ques tion, ‘How do you live well, given that you’re going to encounter all kinds of challenges and different feelings that are disruptive?”’ In the Constructive Living system, feelings — the fodder for many a traditional counseling session — aren’t the point. “There’s a pretty pervasive assumption in most of tradition al Western therapy that you can have these deep-seated feelings and just not be in touch with them or be aware of them,” Krech explains. “Take the exam ple of a person in therapy who comes in and says their father died recently, and the therapist says, ‘You must have a lot of grief over that.’ The person says ‘No, I don’t feel anything at all.’ So the therapist either says or thinks, ‘You must really be in denial of that. Krech continues, “From our viewpoint, feelings are what’s there at the moment. So if you’re feeling grief, you’re feeling grief. If you’re not feeling grief, you’re not feeling grief. And there’s no assumption that those feelings are just hiding or residing some place. I’ve never seen any scien tific evidence that supports the fact that your feelings are resid ing or hiding someplace.” Feelings may come along like cloud storms, but then they leave. According to the Constructive Living approach, you acknowledge and accept your feelings, and then you allow them to fade; you don’t struggle with them. “Feelings aren’t the absolute truth,” concurs Gail James of Bristol, a case manager, commu nity-support worker and recov ery educator who has attended sessions at ToDo. “I used to get hung up on bad feelings, acting on them too quickly. You can overreact to things. Feelings can make things seem bigger than they really are. But with Cons tructive Living, I’ve learned they’re not good or bad, but they give us information on what we need to do.” Realizing that people can’t control their feelings, and can’t make them come or go on com mand, has helped James in her work with the mentally ill at Counseling Services of Addison County. She won’t ignore feel ings that her clients have, but doesn’t dwell on them. “One thing I do is to help people on their behaviors as opposed to their feelings. We try to take the feeling part out of it, to reach a goal instead.” That may be easier said than

done in cases of severe trauma such as child abuse, offers Paul Jones, a UVM med student trained in both Constructive Living and modern psychiatry who is getting his M.D. this month. Although Constructive Living has helped him overcome obstacles in his own life, Jones wonders if the Naikan process could backfire in some situa tions. “People who’ve been severely abused, for them to reflect on what they received from their abuser and what trouble they caused their abuser, is very prob lematic and tricky. I think it’s potentially dangerous or destruc tive and not helpful to do that in those situations in a certain lockstep way. I don’t have any answers to this right now,” he notes. He aims to blend both systems in his work in a psychi atric residency in Massachusetts. Gail James likes the way Constructive Living helps people pay attention to the specific things they need to do each day to avoid relapses. James, who is married with two children, had her Construc tive Living theories put to the test when she was struggling with chronic back pain. “I had anxiety attacks from the pain medication, but I needed pain medication to get through the day. I was feeling hopeless and afraid about the situation. It’s hard to say, ‘I’m just having these feelings but I have to accept them and move on.’” She survived the episodes with her faith intact. “I really believe in this stuff,” she says, “but I really understand how people can become over whelmed, how their situations can make them feel helpless.” Once feelings are “accepted,” people must move on to the “doing” phase of Constructive Living, says Krech. It is drawn from Morita Therapy, which was introduced in Japan in the early 1900s. Some of the biggest “doers” in history, like Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Martin Luther King, Jr., were not terribly self-occu pied, Krech points out. “They had a mission in the world, something important to do. We’re trying to send the same message to folks we work with: What do you want to do with your life? Okay, now get out of yourself.” Mother’s Day provides a per fect opportunity for that, and Krech is hard at work on a short video of his daughter for his mother in Illinois. As for the rest of us ... hey, where’s that calculator? ®

His gallant, old-fash ioned greeting seems still in char acter with the role he portrays in a touring production of The Sound o f Music. As the upscale Captain von Trapp, Villemaire is part of an itinerant theatrical troupe directed by Anderson, who also provides instrumental accompaniment on accordion.

They do not tackle the entire show, however, concentrating instead on selected sequences and songs. Even an abbreviated version of the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is a tri umph for this 15-member cast, comprising people with develop mental disabilities from Champlain Vocational Services in Colchester. They have been per forming at a different site every Wednesday for three weeks and, remarkably, will finish their sea son with a May 16 appearance at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe

— where the Austrian family depicted in fiction wound up after fleeing the Nazis in the 1940s. The Stowe finale caps a long process for the 34-year-old Anderson, a veteran of Glovers Bread and Puppet Theater and an instructor for the past three years with the Can Do Arts Program, under the umbrella of Very Special Arts of Vermont. She has been working with the Sound o f Music cast and crew intermittently since the fall. “This is so much fun for them, it builds their self-confidence and

had a volley of questions waiting when the cast members reassem bled after taking their bows. “Did you see the movie?” one adolescent wanted to know. Villemaire told them he watches the video every night. “Was this hard to do?” another child asked. The star acknowledged that some of the characters were “a little bit off-center.” To say the least. Cindy Van Horn makes such a shy Maria — the theoretically spunky novitiate who becomes governess to the Captains seven children — she had to be coaxed

they get an opportunity to make a contribution to society,” Anderson explains. “The purpose of the program is to bring people normally hidden away... into the community and give them a structure in which they can shine.” Despite some missed cues and evidence of stage fright during last week’s performance at the Mater Christi School in Burlington, the amateur thespians did indeed shine. Many in the audience of about 200 stu dents sang along on “My Favorite Things” and “Edelweiss,” then

existing in the world that was as full and vibrant as the lives of hearing peo ple,” she recalls. “So, I’ve always been interested in communication. To me, helping the developmentally disabled population get self-esteem is political work. It’s a chance for them to express their issues. I just provide the format and the forum for them to do that.” The culmination of a lifelong dream, The Sound o f Music creates a happy set of coincidences for the 44-year-old Villemaire. “My school did the play in 1967,” he says, referring to the now-defunct Bennett C. Douglas School for peo ple with developmental disabilities in the Queen City. “I was Johann then.

away from the wings again and again. As the von Trapp’s house keeper in an apron and straw hat, April Brewster skipped around the stage with glee. Marc Porreca gave the Baroness “a classic cornmedia delTarte” flourish, accord ing to Anderson. Wrapped in a long feather boa, he was strictly high-camp while enacting the part of Marias rival in a romantic triangle. Accordion in hand, Anderson stood on the side to narrate the proceedings. She prompted any performer who forgot a line or, when all else failed, recited the dialogue herself. Scripts were beside the point. A few cast members cannot read; others do not really talk. Yet, somehow it all fit together in a wonderfully wacky way. Anderson found rehearsals for this ambitious endeavor a true challenge. “We had a lot of talks about the style of the show,” she says. “You don’t always know if you’re getting through to people with disabilities — they often don’t make eye contact — but I always proceed from the assump tion that you are.” Amderson’s affinity for this kind of career stems from her maternal grandparents, both deaf, who “had a different way of

at Mater Christi, the word they chose to say was ‘Success!’” Success for this group, repre senting a range of developmental levels, seemed to be the enthusi asm and acceptance coming from

the kids. “I like breaking down the barriers,” Anderson says. “It’s great to make this population accessible to other people, even if were doing a show that’s slightly silly.” “Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens” — the musical Maria von Trapp knows how much fun it can be to act silly sometimes. Villemaire’s mother, Theresa, remembers attending concerts by the real-life von Trapps while she was growing up in Vermont. In addition, her late husband Donald installed the cash regis ters at the Trapp Family Lodge when it was under construction half a century ago. “He knew Maria very well,” she says. “If the weather’s good enough for us to perform outside, it’ll be

With Awareness, I’m able to think real ly big and follow through. [The performers] are even talking about taking the show to Chicago, on a tour of New York State, Australia. When they start

near the graves of the Captain and Maria,” Anderson notes. The winds must remain calm if the sets — sheets painted in a rough, almost Bread-and-Puppet fashion — have any hope of not blowing away. Making them was part of the project for Anderson and her eager players. They also developed the script, such as it is, from their recollections of the 1967 movie. “They would tell me what they considered the most impor tant moments in the show,” she says. “The Captain blowing a whisde to command his seven children, and the Baroness send ing Maria back to the convent, were significant to them. Bill had certain lines he wanted to include, like: ‘O f all the novice candidates, Maria is the least likely to succeed.’ It was a big mish-mash of images at first, but people had very strong opinions on what to use.” The props also drew a good deal o f attention. “Bill designed the car he calls Hasta la Vega,” Anderson says o f the cardboard red convertible coupe the Captain mock-drives in several scenes. “It’s the Edsel, I would say,” Villemaire quips. Even boiled down to its essence, this was not an easy play to do in such a short span — they had only about one hour a week off and on since autumn — and with very little funding. “We didn’t have time to really work

talking, things usually happen.” Anderson’s third paying gig involves leading a workshop made up of senior citizens who participate in the Hardwickbased Grassroots Art and > Community Effort. In addition, she is a member of “my own true theater company,” the Deep Mountain Group in West Glover — her old Bread and Puppet stomping grounds from 1989 to 1996. This company has been touring periodically since late 1999 with M AD SCIENTIST.COM, which she describes as “a play about genetic engineering, sex and revolution.” Anderson also plays accordion and trom bone in Irresistible Predators, a seven-member band that per forms with Deep Mountain. At the end of May, she and a fellow puppeteer will head for Korea to mount a show with a group o f women near Seoul. Anderson has also been invited to conduct a theater workshop at a disability conference while in the country. But first, she must help make a cultural contribution to the Trapp Family Lodge, where even a minimalist Sound o f Music is likely to remind an audience that the hills are still alive. The Sound o f Music w ill be performed a t the Champlain Senior Center in Burlington, Wednesday, M ay 9, at 12:45 p.m .; and a t the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe Wednesday, May 16, 11 a.m. Info, 655-7773. ®

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

The people of Chester have inherited a hearse, but there are no town guidelines regulating how, exactly, it is to be used. The Chester Alumni Association recently petitioned the select board to use the hearse in its parade, throwing that governing body into mild disarray. Do they charge a fee, or what? It’s an unusual problem, but one that is bound to come up again sooner or later: It’s an antique, horse-drawn vehicle, and there’s some “cer emonial” demand for it, as well for the original pur pose. The hearse became the town’s property when the owner of a local funeral home restored it to mint con dition and then couldn’t take it with him when he moved away. It was a weird present, but apparently too good to pass up; after some discussion the select board decided the hearse could be used lor free by Chester resi- ^ dents for public events, but that there ^ will be a fee for out-of-towners and private funerals. Everyone using it will have to show proof of insurance and, presumably, will have to bring their own horses. But who, exactly, wants to ride in a hearse in a home coming parade? ^

The village of Essex Junction and the town of Essex have been struggling with a contested divorce since the 1970s, and a recent appeal to a state leg islative committee to finally settle the matter ended in yet another draw. The underlying legal issues are pretty tangled, but the bottom line seems to be that, while there is a way to merge two previously unmar ried places, there is no reciprocating way to allow two places to separate. Over the last 30 years, the village and the town have alternately voted for separation and merger six times, but each time Essex Junction has wanted out and Essex has voted the other way. As is often the case, it’s mostly about money — right now, people in the village pay taxes to both entities and, if they leave, they take their money with them. But the conflict has gotten compli cated mostly because it will not go away. This latest failed appeal to the legislative committee in charge of local gov ernment affairs has Essex Junction Representative Linda Kirker “baffled” and “disheartened.” By opting out, the Legislature opts for having the unhappy marriage continue. This, says Kirker, is “not healthy.” And it’s not even for the good of the children.

Clean and Sober?

’ Last summer, after too many years of too much public revelry, Warren j cancelled the traditional Fourth of July street dance that had been held ^ in front of the Warren Store for 50 years. Apparently people missed it a little too much, and this year’s Fourth organizers have worked out an acceptable compromise: The dance will return, but the ban on public drinking will remain. As select board chair John Norton put it, “We’re not looking to return to the frat-party attitude of recent years. We want people to know that they can come and enjoy the street party and dance again, but this is not going to be an alcohol-based event.” Still, partygoers have been put on notice that if this loud and merry event once again veers into dis array, it will really be the end of this time-honored local tradition: “The conduct of the participants,” warned Norton, “will determine what happens next year.” The town has agreed to pay for the party and pick up the mess, but everyone, it seems, is still on probation.

Essex Reporter, April 2 6

The Head of the Class One of the joys ol spring is that we can at last stop talking about winter, and headline writers are setting out to explore the wider and weirder world. “How to Make an Earthquake,” reads one; “Trees That I Have Loved and Lost,” crows another. And, for those of us who think that the winter blahs need a 12-step program, we found “Cured of Oatmeal for a Lifetime.” Deerfield Valley News, April 26, Manchester Journal, April 27, Vermont Standard, April 2 6

Wally, a 700-pound boar from Woodstock, recently fell into the Ottauquechee River during the confusion caused when his barn caught on fire. Pigs are not particularly good swimmers, but in a pinch, they can go with the flow. Three-quarters of a mile downstream from the blaze, a couple of employees at Leonards Gas and Electric looked up from what they were doing and “saw Wally floating by.” Caught up in an act of bravery that may have been at least two parts curiosity, about 30 people leaped into action, wet suits were donned, and after a struggle the unhappy pig was hoisted out of the water with a truck-mounted lift. He was then lured into a crate and returned to his owner, who was delighted and relieved to see him. The barn is a total loss, but John McDonald’s main comment on the proceedings was that Wally “is a good pig, and a smart pig, too.” Wally reportedly had no comment, —

Hats and Rabbits Despite just completing its best season in years, Magic Mountain Ski Area was threatened with a tax sale recently. The general manager of the facility says he thinks the ski area will come up with the money, but adds that “It’s complicated because there are so many owners. Some are known for doing things at the last minute.” Local hotel owners are frankly worried that Magic Mountain will close again — it has a history of flickering in and out of existence, most recently in the mid-’90s. Yet it always seems to reappear as if by, well, magic. At least one local businesswoman says that, even if the slopes do close, she will stay open and see what happens. “Magic,” she says, “always manages to pull through.” —

Tom Hanlon, Assistant Director, Vermont Forensic Laboratory, Waterbury

ince 1998, State Police Lieutenant Tom Hanlon has been assistant direc tor of the Vermont Forensic Laboratory, part of the Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Justice Services. From his Waterbury headquar ters, the 43-year-old trooper oversees 16 employ ees in a lab encompassing a chemistry-serology section and a physical comparison unit, which examines fingerprints, firearms and photography. Several rooms are filled with guns that have been involved in everything from fish-andwildlife violations to homicides. Biological evi dence is saved for decades, given that DNA can exonerate a suspect years after the crime has taken place. The lab has sophisticated equipment — a $200,000 electron-microscope can analyze a paint chip — but Hanlon insists a shortage of staff has put Vermont at a forensic disadvantage.

worked at the Island Pond outpost with a canine partner, then went to Grand Isle, then I was pro moted to patrol sergeant and sent to Derby. After that, I decided to go into the Bureau of Criminal Investigation as part of my career development, working on aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery, homicide.

Seven Days: What are the essentials of your job? Tom Hanlon: I’m concerned with administrative and personnel matters, as well as security. I make sure none of the evidence goes out in anybody’s lunchbox. I’m the liaison with all of our lawenforcement customers and prosecutors. We serv ice 92 local, county, state and federal law-enforce ment agencies in Vermont, and all the state’s attor neys. We’re the only forensic laboratory, so every thing comes here. I help them all prepare for court. Another task I have is helping the police academy facilitate crime-scene training. And I go out on 99 percent of the crime-scene calls we get.

SD: What changes did you make here? TH: One of my first jobs was upgrading the phys ical-evidence handbook, which hadn’t been print ed since 1996. The earlier version didn’t have a crime-scene management section, for example. I also shrank it down to half the size so an officer can stick it in his pocket. It’s real handy.

SD: Who does the laboratory work? T H : The lab positions were once filled by state troopers. I’m the last of the sworn people here. Now it’s almost all civilians. That allows us to maintain a neutral stance. We’re not working for the prosecutor, we’re not working for the defense, we’re not working for the police — we’re working for the truth. SD: What’s your background? T H : I have a degree in criminal justice from Plattsburgh State University. In 1983, I started as a road trooper in the Colchester office, then

SD: Did you do any forensic work in the field? TH : I took the time to process the crime scenes. In Colchester, I made my own fingerprint kit. Back then, it wasn’t standard issue for road troop ers. You can buy a pre-fabricated kit for $400, or you can buy a fishing-tackle box at Ames and start scrounging all the required stuff, like fingerprint powder, scissors, tape, a camera. To catch burglars, you had to have physical evidence, because usually there are no eyewitnesses. Most often you’re the first one on the scene. If you see tire impressions in the sand and it’s starting to rain, you’ve got problems.

SD: Do your investigators go to every crime scene in the state? TH: Any law-enforcement agency dealing with a major crime can request our crime-scene unit. Only Burlington and Rutland have their own; that’s two out of the 92. We don’t do burglaries, which is the number-one crime in Vermont. We average 25 major-crime calls a year. One scene can take from a day to a week; the longest we ever had was five calendar days, working 18-hour days. The team is only four people plus myself. When I leave for work Monday morning, I take a week’s worth of clothes, because a long investigation somewhere else in the state might mean I have to check into a motel. SD: Do you process evidence at the site? TH : We collect evidence and bring it back to be

examined in the lab. But our examiners are also the people on the team. W hen they’re needed at a crime scene, nobody’s at their bench doing case work, so stuff gets backlogged. I’ve asked for a minimum of three more positions just to do crime scenes. O ur fingerprint section is at least six months behind. O ur photo section is about four months behind. O ur serology section, which does biological evidence, is maybe a m onth behind. Right now I have only one firearms examiner. SD: What crimes are under-investigated? A:. We need at least five more five-person crimescene teams, each with a truck, to cover different regions in the state. A lot of burglaries are not being solved because there aren’t enough people to process the crime scenes. As a road trooper in 1983, with six months on the job, I was sent to a $25,000 burglary. No crime-scene kit, no camera, trying to figure out this crime, but my radio’s going off because I’m the only police officer cover ing half a dozen towns. We’ve got another burgla ry, we’ve got a family fight, we’ve got a car acci dent. You have to go. SD: What are some of your success stories? TH: Finding a homicide victim that’s been buried three weeks to a month, processing the scene and getting evidence for DNA analysis. We’ve been able to get DNA from cigarette butts. We’ve dis covered foreign fibers, biological material may have been deposited on the victim, DNA from somebody urinating in the snow. Luckily, the cli mate cooperated and it was preserved. SD: Is it a depressing job? TH: Some crimes bother you more than others. For me, it’s a crime against a child. I have a 2-anda-half-year-old girl, so you get that association fac tor. I try to unwind during the hour it takes me to drive home, and I never discuss it with my wife. But a familiar picture or an odor can bring back the „ crime scene; sometimes it’s when you’re sleeping. — Susan Green "WORK”is a new monthly feature in Seven Days describing a Vermonter at his or her job.

What we do now is that Kong Wash, Burlington playwright Steve G oldberg’s latest opus, is a real hoot. Veteran actress Sue Ball steals the frickin’ show as Kara with a ballsy, “Soprano”-style per formance that had ’em rolling in the aisles the other evening. And actor Steve W est pulls off some kind of a first by playing famous local drag queen Cheri Tartt play ing one of Kara’s card-playing girl friends. Kong Wash is playing at Club Metronome, over Nectar’s on Main Street in downtown Burlap. Four shows remaining: May 12, 18, 19, 20. It’s Mr. Goldberg’s 17th play — all produced in Burlington.

tinguished readers took exception to last week’s attribution for the line, “Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings.” It’s from a Bob Dylan song. However, credit deservedly goes to 18th-cen tury English poet and essayist Sam uel Johnson. “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” was first published in Boswell’s-Life of Johnson in 1775. Actually, the complete Dylan riff is, “ They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings.” He wasn’t trying to steal it. ® E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

Burlington musician G e n e is feeling ruminative about Russia after his first trip there in April. The former B re a k a w a y fiddler traveled with B a n jo D an & th e M id n ite P lo w b o y s — filling in for regu lar D a v id G u s a k o v — on a threeweek tour with Project Harmony tour, the Vermont-based cultural exchange program.

L in d n e r, A la n D a v is , Jon H e n ry D ra k e and W hite spent time in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Petroza vodsk, not to mention a fair number of hours on overnight trains, drinking the ever-present tea heated on samovars. The centerpiece of the trip was an international folk festival in “Petro,” which also featured diverse acts from Tuvan throat singers to Glaswegian bagpipers. But the real highlight for W hite was staying with host families and getting at the heart o f Russia like no guided tour — or even enthusiastical ly received performance — could. On the street Russians,tend to be dour and guarded, he reports, but in their homes, “They are without reserva tion; their generosity puts Americans to shame.”

REDMAN QUARTET

Though the band had a number o f interesting gigs, from orphanages to nightclubs to American consulates, “The Russian people were my favorite thing,” W hite enthuses. “I really appreciated the opportunity to go.” The experience taught him a lot about the meaning of hospitality, he says — and about the universal lan guage of music.

Congratulations to the win ner of the Advance Music/Buzz Homebrew High School Band Search. The oxymoronically named teens from Charlotte cranked out some mighty fine modern rock to squeak past the competition. Suicide Spring won Web site hosting from Big Heavy World, a day of recording from West Street Digital, a $500 gift certificate and, courtesy of Red Bull, a gig at CBGB’s, plus hotel, in Manhattan. Congrats.

and, in colder weather, indoor jazz, but that trailed off as owner T im H a lv o rs o n found it a money-loser. But things have changed. For one thing, the back courtyard has been completely enclosed, leaving it imper vious to Vermont’s unpredictable weather. For another, a booking man ager named P a t M a y has stepped in. “We worked out a system where we don’t lose our shirts,” May says. Meaning, bands play for the door and are expected to help out promoting their own events with posters, while Halvorson’s pitches in with print and radio advertising. “Getting people back into the idea they can go to Halvorson’s for music is a slow process,” May concedes, “but we’re getting back into it.” Good nights recently bode well for a Signal to Noise show this Wednesday with M a r c o E n e id i’s EsI T rio , T h e B illio n a ir e s Thursday and T h e D a v e K e lle r B a n d Saturday.

Well, don’t blame me, but there is yet more J a m e s K o c h a lk a news to report this week. His “Monkey vs. Robot” ditty has apparently touched a nerve — or is it the fonny bone? For starters, the comic-book novel version was nomi nated for a Harvey Award (named for M ad magazine’s H a r v e y K u rtz m a n ). That’s far less surprising than this one: It was also nominated by the American Library Association for its 2002 list of exceptional books for young people. Now, that’s some mainstream acceptance for the naughty astronaut! Meanwhile, Monkey vs. Robot the video, directed by N a te P o m m e r, is S U P E R S T A R SC O R EC A R D

showing in Cannes this week, and the song was licensed to the Sci-Fi chan nel for use later this year. Finally, CDNow wants to use the song in a television ad. “W ho knew a little •song that I made up at a party just to entertain some drunks would go so far?” Kochalka asks. Indeed. The word “hoote nanny” hasn’t been uttered much since about the mid-1960s, but it was just a matter of time before the spon taneous sing-along format came ’round again. Local singer-songwriter Tom BiSSOn has corraled a loose bunch of folks into the R o u n d a b o u t S in g e r s who, after a living room ses sion last week, are ready to go public this Saturday at Plainfield’s Positive Pie. Dust off your W o o d y G u th rie repertoire and come down for a slice... of life . . . The Portsmouthbased trio D re a d n a u g h t won big at the 2001 JA M Music Magazine Awards, for Instrumental Recording of the Year, Best Song Title (“Women Are Kryptonite”) and Artist of the Year — in Bluegrass. The last was a big surprise to the band, which prefers to call its genre “progabilly.” Decide for yourself next time they play Burlington . . .

COUCHES AND CARPET (Planting Seeds Records, CD) — O n his first solo album, Couches and Carpet, Burlington expatriate Michael Barrett has taken all of the writing and recording duties upon himself, laying out 18 songs of hope, frustration and boredom, and covering most aspects of life as a Brooklyn transplant. For those ■ familiar with Barrett’s earlier work as a member of Guppyboy, The Essex Green and The Sixth Great Lake, this new record has a familiar feel, although it’s a bit different, too: This time around all tracks are coming from one mind, rather than a team. If you don’t know what that means, let’s just put Michael Barrett safely in the category of modern/ retro ’60s-inspired indie folk-pop. Barrett plays the whole studio like an instrument, crafting layered arrangements chock-full of instruments, voices and sound effects. Successive listens reveal more treats as the full scope o f Barrett’s orchestrative craft sinks in. The songs document Barrett’s varied states of mind as a sensitive and introspective slacker and dreamer. Thoughtful and simple observation plays nicely against some heavily built-up soundscapes. There are great sounds on Couches and Carpet, and it seems custom-made for the headphone set. Sometimes Barrett comes across like a mellower, more low-key and less crazy Syd Barrett (no rela tion), making vaguely psychedelic Burlington/ M IC H A E L B A R R ETT,

Brooklyn pop in a downer vein. Some highlights are “Marlborough Farms,” “The Gate” and “The Farm,” all of which cover Barrett’s Brooklyn experiences and friends, and “Yesterday and Today” and “Chill Out/True Love,” which cover a bit of the Burlington landscape. Local chanteuse Jenn Karson takes over the vocals on “Crazy,” another of the best here. W ith 18 tracks, including a few instrumental numbers, Couches and Carpet sometimes feels like a Michael Barrerr clear inghouse, though old and new songs seems to fit quite comfortably together. This may be because a lor of these are walking- and sitting-around songs, capturing a moment and a mood. That these moods come in the form of backward tape loops, surf instrumentals, crackJy old vinyl or Looper-esque sounds only enhances the overall listening experi ence. The end of “Paintbrushes” is another highlight, layering voices and lines against the song’s warm piano. Guppyboy fans might recognize “The Show Musr Go O n,” which chronicles the end of that band’s time here and apprehensions about moving to the city. “Roll on Home” closes rhe album with another enjoyable cascade of voices, repeating the chorus and waving goodbye to a solid batch of pop tunes. W ith what appears to be much o f Barrett’s plate cleared, we can only sit tight and wait to see what comes next. This record should hold us over until then. — Colin Clary LIFESTYLE (Crustacean Records, CD) — Ivan Klipstein is a trippy, multi-instrumen talist spastic pop freak. While he seems to be very serious about his instrumental talents, taking turns at just about every instrument there is on Lifestyle, his third album, most of the fare here is sugary and schizophrenic. At his best, songs or moments are infectious* toe-tappy and smile-provoking. The prob lem is, sometimes I don’t want to smile, and I feel Klipstein is too clever for his own good. I could do with a bit less human beat-boxing and goofy rap ping, that’s for sure. Then again, even as I get geared IV A N K U P S T E IN ,

up to find fault, I find myself being charmed. It’s confusing, but definitely not boring. N ot all of the songs on this 70-plus-minute m on ster C D (which comes in pink and baby blue pack aging with a graffiti font) are great, but the best ones are pretty darn good. My favorites are “Ragdoll,” “Embrianna, Lady Baltimore,” “1234” and “One Means Somebody Loves You.” If you like the idea of a hippie Beck-meets-Syd Barrett with an obnoxious, indie streak, you’ll love this record. I wish it was more heartfelt than clever, but clear ly Klipstein grew up with more Beastie Boys than Morrissey in his record collection. If there were a song about hobbits and gnomes, it would not be out of place here. It’s tempting to think that Klipstein is bored with his own songs, tricking them out to keep himself amused. Still, beneath the 'surface good things lurk — the poppy song parts remind me of Jason Faulkner. Lifestyle is catchy in a smiley but too-quick-tostick-in-your-head kind of way. Apparently, Klipstein’s live show is a solo affair, stripping away layers till all we have is Ivan Klipstein, his guitar and his songs. Now that’s what I’d really like to hear — at Radio Bean this Sunday. — Colin Clary

The mid-20th century brought suburban tract homes, television and

post-war complacency to many, but in the art world 1940-70 was a period o f rich experimentation and stylistic foment. Through the resulting abstraction in painting and sculpture, it could be said that American art truly came o f age.

“Indivisible,” by Pat Adams

bines great red-brown circles to create ellipses that move across the bright yellows of the canvas. Her fields have the softness of stain painting, but within the ellipses Adams has used polymer isobutyl methacrylate to manufacture gritty tex tures that form islands in this epic space. “Therefore” is a universe in formation, and the void is filled with golden light. The richness of Adams’ color becomes diffused on the textured surfaces within the ellipses — such a contrast is one of the many devices she uses to create tension and depth in her works. Thanks to Jasper Johns, George Ortman and other artists, the target form has become a staple of modernism. Adams revisits it in “Ground Breath,” while also placing it in a different con text. Her target of yellow and dark violet seems to float over an almost imperceptible brown grid, and its edges are softened by sharp lines of green and varied orange in front of the target. Adams has sliced the picture plane from front to back in a way that subtly differs from mid-century abstractionists. Her spaces have a kind of inner logic that seems to be more closely related to nature than to earlier theoretical systems of space and flatness. “Becoming This” is another large-scale piece

and orange, in the negative area around the cen tral, intersected circles that comprise the middle ground of the space. “Indivisible” has the scale and colors of the planet Jupiter. Bands of color ascend from yel lows at the bottom of the canvas to a layer red/orange, to pinks, mauve and yellow ochre, to somber greens, blacks and Prussian blue near the top edge. But these bands are broken up by four large circles situated along two diagonal axes plunging down from the upper corners. The bands are also permeated by less dominant hues. Adams creates the lines of her geometry by skew ing space rather than drawing actual lines. While “Indivisible” seems to have many divisions, its title is in fact quite accurate. The smaller pieces in the show are as success ful as the larger ones, on their own merit. “To Be,” for instance, is a relatively somber piece of intersecting curves that form a rough and cop pery ellipse in the center of dark gray-green fields. But the Tarrant Gallery is particularly well suited to large-scale works, and thus Adams’ big paintings utilize the space to its fullest. Too bad it’s only open intermittently. Let us hope the Flynn revisits that and recognizes the resource this space is to the community ®

SEVEN DAYS

may 9, 2001

Well, spring may be in the air, but it’s summer in the cineplex. Just as its predecessor did two years ago, The Mummy Returns jumps the gun on the season and serves up a jumbo helping of rol licking, hold-the-brains, sunscreen-weather fun. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back as the best-looking couple in the desert. Between archaeological expeditions they’ve married and managed to produce a wise-cracking cutie-pie of a kid, played by Freddie Boath. You’d think the pair would’ve had enough force-of-darkness-style trou ble to last them a lifetime. Nonetheless, they find themselves drawn as if by unseen powers back to the land of sand, where Weisz begins having flash backs to a previous life in ancient Egypt. As it turns out, she’s the reincarnated daughter of that king who was assassinated in the first film by his back-stabbing wife, who’d taken up with Arnold Vosloo, the guy who looks like Mr. Clean but was executed by the king’s guards and then came back as the Mummy. Well, one thing leads to another and, just as she’s coming to this realization, a gaggle of bad guys conspires to put into effect the most convo luted plan for world domination in movie history. Give or take an ancient curse, it goes like this: Once upon a time there was this great warrior, the Scorpion King. He’s played by the great profes sional wrestler, the Rock. About 3000 BC or so he came that close to conquering the known world, but ended up going down in defeat. After wander ing the desert and coming to the brink of death, he strikes a bargain with the god of the under world — he’ll trade his soul for a vast supernatural army of computer-animated, dog-like creatures and victory over his enemies. While this doesn’t sound like it’d be all that irre sistible a deal for an underworld deity, the Scorpion King gets his wish anyway, and wipes everybody out. He and his vast army then disappear into the great, mysterious ether, with the disclaimer that both may be brought back to life through a series of procedures so complicated, you have to be an evil genius to make head or tails of it. Okay, so the bad guys plan to bring him back,

along with his army. But that’s just part one. Part two of the plan involves resurrecting the Mummy again, because, according to legend, he’s the only one strong enough to defeat the Scorpion King and assume control of his unstoppable dog army. The bad guys are allied to the Mummy, Imhotep, and want to help him destroy the world, despite the obvious drawbacks that would appear to pose for them personally should they prove successful. The cool thing about these two movies, of course, aren’t the scripts but the effects, and among the coolest of these is the Mummy-under-construction process, in the course of which the just — res urrected Vosloo starts off as a raggedy skeleton with whole chunks of him missing and gradually assumes flesh-and-blood form as he sucks the life force out of one human victim after another. My favorite parts of the two pictures are those when Imhotep is still in the raggedy skeleton stage. The more he turns into Vosloo, the lpss interesting he becomes, it seems to me. In the new film I found Vosloo a particularly underwhelming presence, soft and semi-pudgy, as if needing to be put on a low life-force diet. Director Stephen Sommers makes sure there’s always plenty of other stuff to look at, though. Every time you turn around, someone’s being engulfed by a river of killer beetles, forced to out run a skyscraper-high wall of water, or attacked, like I said, by giant Egyptian devil dogs. It’s loud — really loud — silly, totally incomprehensible and, in places, a blatant rip-off of everything from Indiana Jones to Gladiator. In other words, it’s the perfect prelude to a Hollywood summer. All the sound and fury signify next to nothing, certainly, but let’s face it: Huge, nutty, over-the-top movies have become as much a part of the fabric of the season as picnics, bikinis or Fourth of July fireworks. After a winter as hard as this past one, The Mummy Returns is as welcome a sign of sun nier times as the birds in the backyard and the buds on the trees, if you ask me. Temperatures are about to go higher, artistic standards a whole lot lower. The forecast is for big, dumb fun. One might as well sit back and enjoy it. ®

T he 15-member compa ny performs pieces such as “T he Jingle Dress Dance,” “The Eagle Dance.” " I he Buffalo Dance and even “ The Fancy Dance” in an evening of really American storytelling, music and movement.

Dear Cecil, A friend and I were playing Nintendo, the original eight-bit sys tem, and we played “Duck Hunt, ” a game that requires a light gun. / was wondering: How exactly does the Nintendo game know where you are pointing the gun on the screen when you shoot ducks? Very mind-boggling! „ . ^ , . — - M att

exactly where your shot “h it.” But th at’s for the gearheads. At the Straight D ope we’re m ore interested in the deeper m eaning o f it all. Ingenious as the light gun is, magicians have been boggling m inds for years w ith similar cause/effect reversals. Take the “directed choice.” You pluck a card at random from a deck, then return it. You alone know the card’s identity — let’s say it’s the ace o f spades. T he magician then dis plays four cards so that only you can see the faces. N one is the ace. She places the four cards facedown in a square. By sleight o f hand, the details o f w hich need not detain us, she replaces one o f them with the ace. “Pick tw o,” she says. You do. T he magician then discards the other cards (if you picked the ace), or the cards you picked (if not). She points to the two remaining cards and says, “Pick one.” If you pick the ace, she discards the other card. If you don’t pick the ace, she discards the card you picked.

Indicating the one card rem aining, the m agician says, “Turn it over. Is that your card?” O f course it is. You’re amazed and mysti fied, but as you can see, the trick turns on a sim ple unsuspected reversal o f cause and effect. (Low light, quick fingers and a couple beers also help.) You thou g h t you were the active agent; in fact you were the patsy. U nderstand now? C ongratulations. You’ve just passed M arketing 101. Q U E S T I O N S W E ’R E S T I L L T H I N K I N G A B O U T

Dear Cecil, I am doing a presentation for my college chem class on any gas. I was wondering i f you had any unique gases, or ones that would be very informative. Any suggestions woidd be helpful. — Amanda Buchanan Dear Cecil, Why should / go on living in this unjust, inhu mane, technology dependent world where one mar ginally sane person can’t even delude himself enough to believe that one person can make a difference as nameless, faceless forces seem to conspire against my every hope and dream, leaving me spiritually rav aged and consigned to work at the drive-in window at WendysfAnd are Cheetos really made with real cheese? — Jeremy, Pittsburgh

You’re going to give yourself such a sm ack when you hear this one, M att. Stripped o f the high-tech accoutrem ents (by 1980s standards, anyway), it’s the oldest trick in the book. You think you’re using the gun to shoot at the TV, right? But really rhe T V is shooting the gun.

Dear Cecil, I ’ve often wondered why flagellating underwater produces a more horrific odor than an airborne sample from the same batch. — Richard Reneau, assistant director o f maintenance, Austin State Hospital

H ere’s w hat happens. You shoot at a duck, w hich appears on an ordinary T V screen. T h e gun is connected to the game con sole; pressing the trigger blackens the screen, then causes a duck shaped w hite target to appear m omentarily. If your aim is true, a photo sensor in the gun detects the shift from dark to light, and bingo — dead duck. To reiterate, the T V emits the light pulse and the gun detects it, not the other way around. For technical details, see www.how stuffworks.com /questio n 2 7 3 .h tm , w hich includes a link to -N intendo’s 1989 patent on the technology. T he patent explains how the dark-to-light shift prevents you from cheating by pointing the gun at a steadily shining light source, a weakness o f earlier light guns. You’ll also learn how m ultiple targets can appear on the screen at the same tim e and how m ore advanced systems can indicate on the screen

Richard, this is n o t a question I feel qualified to answer. You should talk to a m em ber o f that religious order we discussed a few m onths ago, the Flatulents. — CECIL ADAM S

Is there something you need to get straight? Cecil Adams can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic. Write Cecil Adams at the Chicago Reader, 11 E. Illinois, Chicago, IL 60611, or e-mail him at cecil@chireader.com.

Wanted: Intelligent, self-confident R.N. leader with good mental hygiene. Long term care experience preferred but not absolutely required. Interest in, even love of, ageless elders and the aging process (physical, psycho-social, spiritual) absolutely essential. Good supervision, team building, empathetic, empowering skills vital. Comfort with (better still: excitement about) sophisticated, building wide computer-based information/quality control systems beneficial. Willingness to abandon “fear based” approach to government regulatory apparatus and focus on quality outcomes based on integrity of our environment of care required. If you think life (& work life and the work place) can be a parade, not a forced march... If you’re willing to entertain possibilities and help us polish and provide stewardship to a really great, brand new, multi level not-for-profit, long term care community on a small, rural hospital campus... If you’re looking for a great spot to live (mountains for skiing and hiking, valleys for canoes and kayaks and bicy cles, a really great quality of life) just 25 miles off the interstate and 30 miles south of the Canadian border...

Ivy Computer Inc. is growing and we are looking for long term employees to grow along with us. Ivy has been creating software for over 1 5 years. If you would like to work in a comfortable informal environment then maybe you are the right employee for us. This is an executive position requiring an outgoing, creative and talented per son. This person will be responsible for organizing and operating the market ing o f our existing products, and will be the coordinator for the development and initial sales o f new products. This is a very challenging position requiring the right mix o f computer knowl edge, sales and marketing. Basically you will need to know everything about running a computer software company except how to program. For someone out there this is your dream job. No sitting around in meetings, or spending days preparing proposals. Spend your tim e doing real productive work, and seeing the results o f your efforts. Ivy Computer. Inc. is N O T a startup, it is a well established software compa ny, with a top rated product in an existing national market. This position will play an integral part in Ivy’s continued growth.
