Ahaan Thai hailand has a majestic past, w ith all the travails th a t ancient cultures are heir to.Yet, the Thais are n o t overw helm ed by their legacy. The past sits very happily w ith the present in T hailand, and the Thais live easily w ith both.T he m ap of T hailand resembles the silhouette of an elephant’s head. The n o rth and the n orth east are its tw o ears, the central plains its head, w ith Bangkok at the m outh, of course, while its trunk-the Isthm us of Kra — descends sinuously to the south.T hai cooking is at odds w ith the m odern w orld, w here speed and simplic ity are param ount. T hai is n o t an instant cuisine, prepared w ith the flick of a knife and finished w ith the toss of a pan. It needs the cook’s atten tion, and it expects tim e and effort to be spent and it requires honed skills, but it rew ards w ith sensational tastes. Spring Rolls originated in the n o rth east, while Chicken Satay, Seafood Phuket, and M assam an C urry from the south. Some other dishes are C hinese influenced, like Beef &c Broccoli, Sweet Sc Sour.

TESTING TRUTHS T hank you for getting the word out about date-rape drugs, or drug-facilitated sexual assault in your recent article, “Getting Roofied” [June 16]. Knowledge is power, the beginning o f pre vention. I would like to correct some assertions made in the article that may discourage your readers from seeking help. T he Center for Crime Victim Services is not affiliated in any way with the D epartm ent of Corrections. We are a stand-alone state agency, governed by a Board of Directors that is appointed by the Governor. The State o f Vermont has leg islation in place to aid victims of sexual assault in the payment of their exams, treatm ent and fol low-up care. Included is payment for the forensic testing for drugs used to facilitate sexual assault. This particular service is available to anyone who has been daterape drugged, as the article described. It is true that such vic tims are considered possible or “thwarted” victims o f sexual assault. The fund that pays for sexualassault exams, as well as date-rape drug testing, will not “run dry,” as was implied by a representative o f Fletcher Allen hospital. The budget for these services is not bottomless, but it is flexible. It

ROOFIED, TOO I am writing in regard to the date-rape article that was pub lished June 16 [“Getting Roofied”]. I am a 24-year-old female who works in Burlington as a nurse and graduated from UVM in 2 0 0 1 ... The article and Megan’s experience were similar to an experience I had in 2001. I was bar-hopping in Burlington and found out my favorite band was playing at Club M etronome. O n my walk there I encountered a male “friend” whom I had known from high school and asked if he would come with me.

At this point I had drunk approximately two beers and was feeling pretty sober. Upon enter ing Club M etronome we decided to share a beer together. Fie drank the first half and after I had come back from the bath room I finished the second half o f the beer. About a half-hour later I began to feel extremely drunk and needed to leave. My “friend” then began to escort me up M ain Street to his house, which was the completely opposite direction from mine. I knew things were becoming real ly weird when he started kissing me and I kissed him back. At that point I began to freak out because I had a very serious boyfriend at the time and had no intention o f cheating on him. I was having an “out-of-body expe rience” in that I felt as if I were watching myself do these actions but had no control over what I $ was doing. , . \ After wanting to pass out oh a stranger’s lawn and much persua sion from this kid to go back to his house with him, I somehow managed to get myself home and leave him behind. The next thing I remember clearly is waking up 14 hours later in my bed, which I had wet in the middle o f the night and slept through — something I have never dope in \ my adult life.

of my story is that when I went not black out. I’d been trying to make the point that three beers to Fletcher Allen’s emergency room the following evening, ask would not cause me to act the ing them to sample m y urine for • w a y I did. I am sorry to read this article any trace o f “roofies,” the ER doctor told me that it would be a and hear that things have not changed since I was a senior at waste o f time and money because UVM myself, three years ago. Rohypnol was not illegal in Vermont. I was then discharged Even though retelling my story always makes me upset and from Fletcher Allen’s emergency room with a diagnosis o f “prob angry, I share it often to try and lematic drinking” because I had open people’s eyes to the reality o f what is happening in Burling revealed that as a senior in col lege I could drink 12 beers and ton. We need to continue to edu

cate women about the risk of date-rape drugs, even with people you consider friends, as well as educate the medical professionals who treat these emotionally upset women.

LIVING ARTS Seven Days is the premier source for inform ation on the arts in the Burlington area. For years A rt’s Alive (and the art com m unity at

large) has benefited from your coverage. It is with this apprecia tion and understanding that I write this letter. In your recent article “Staying Alive” [June 16], there are several assumptions and conclusions made about this year’s A rt’s Alive festival that are erroneous. The most glaring o f these falsehoods is that this is an “off year” or “bad year” for Art’s Alive. This is factually untrue, and unsupport ed by our reality. T he A rt’s Alive Festival o f Fine Art began on June 4 and it will run until June 27, so not all indi cators are in, but... we are having a very good year. O u r O pening Gala Reception was attended by over 200 people and our Church Street Art Fair was upgraded, afid in spite of, or because of, the changes was more visible and successful for participating artists than in the past. In addition, as the article states and infers, our Sidewalk Chalk Pastel Com peti

tion was by far our most success ful, ever. Furthermore, feedback to this point has indicated most people think the quality o f art in the festival is as high as it’s been in years. So, it’s hard to say this is an off year... it’s just not true. Perhaps the most troubling element to all this is the fact that the author o f the story does not believe this was an “off year,” either. His piece was edited to state these conclusions w ithout his consent. In fact, my quote about this year being a “spring board” was intended to state that we are having a good year and we will have an even better year next year. It was in no way an apology for the current state o f our event. T he article is written and out there; this letter may help curb the feelings it brought on, but in the end the best thing that could happen is that people come to

CORRECTIONS: In the June 9 “Eyewitness” column, we identified painter Susan Walp as residing in Chelsea, Vermont. She actually lives in nearby Washington. Last week’s cover story, “Getting Roofied,” stated that the Vermont Center for Crime Victims Services is part of the Department of Corrections. The VCCV is actually a freestanding agency that operates under the auspices of the governor. Also, an editing misunderstanding changed the meaning of writer Marc Awodey’s review of Art’s Alive last week, giving the impression this was a down year for the festival. We deeply regret the error.

The World is a Better P lace n these days of early summer, it’s hard to find anyone particularly upbeat about the current state of world affairs. But rose-colored glasses still exist, and at least one Vermonter wears his proudly. President George W. Bush is now being widely hailed as the worst president in the history of the United States of America. His bloody invasion of Iraq, launched in response to 9/11 as the first step in the War on Terrorism, has turned into a War Promoting Terrorism. Pictures of dead American soldiers, includ ing Vermonters, have become a staple of the nightly news. And Selective Service officials we’ve spoken to say privately that if Bush is reelected, the military draft will start up in 2005. Twenty-year-olds will go first, we’re told. These are, indeed, the times that try men’s souls. But not everyone sees the Bush Invasion of Iraq as a bad thing. Despite the findings of the 9/11 Commission that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, architect of the New York slaughter of innocents, at least one prominent Vermonter strongly believes that George W. Bush did the right thing. Unfortunately, the person we’re talking about is currently the official leader of Vermont state government: Republican Gov. James Douglas.

Somehow, some way, despite the fact that Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, Independent Sen. Jim Jeffords and Independent Rep. B em ie Sanders all had the good judgment and the courage to vote against the Bush war measure, Gov. Douglas sees things from a com pletely different point of view. “I don’t think,” said Gov. Douglas last week, “that there’s any dispute that the world is a better place without Saddam Hussein in power.” What in the name of God has our gover nor been smoking? We trust the Guv’s last minute position-reversal on medical marijua na was not based on a personal experience? After all, it’s now a statement of unadulter ated fact that our current White House occu pant lied repeatedly to the American people and the entire world about the reasons that justified his invasion. Bush told us Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Not true. Bush told us Saddam tried to get nuclear material from Africa. Not true. Bush said Saddam was a threat to the United States. Not true. And the list goes on. Didn’t President George W. Bush lie to the American people about the reasons for war? “I don’t accept that characterization,” replied Douglas. “I believe the President of the United States acted on the information that he believed to be correct at the time he made the decision to commit our American forces. “There may be evidence that that informa tion was flawed, and that’s a judgment history will make, but I believe the president acted in the best interests of the American people as he understood it.”

Some people believe in the Tooth Fairy, too. And sorry, Guv, but we don’t have to wait for history to pass judgment. That will be done by the American people on November 2. This Saturday at noon, Vermonters opposed to the Liar-in-Chief’s Iraq War will be flocking to City Hall Park in Burlington for an antiwar demonstration. “Bring the Troops Home” is the rallying cry. Despite the fact that Gov. Douglas will not be there (no ribbons to cut?), we expect a pretty decent turnout. Great business for the farmers’ market, eh?

Speaking of Ribbons — Vermont’s num

ber-one ribbon-cutter has apparently been hearing the behind-the-scenes chuckling about his trademark gubernatorial style — ribbon-cutting to open anything possible, including gas-stations. Gov. Douglas bragged to Burlington Rotarians Monday that he’s on the job “24/7,” as he put it. “In fact,” said Douglas, “some people are making fun of the fact that 1 get around a lot, attend a lot of events. Some call me ‘Ribbon Cutter' or whatever it is,” said Jimbo. Hey, c’mon Guv, you read Seven Days. You know the correct name: “Gov. Scissorhands!” “Well, I don’t apologize for that at all,” continued Gov. Scissorhands, “because when ever there’s a ribbon to be cut, that shows that there’s progress being made and that good things are happening.” OK, OK, take it easy, will ya? Remember, slow and steady with the wrist. And never run while carrying a pair. And Happy 53rd birthday, too!

Reunion Week — That infamous political

duo, the young and talented Nasty Boys of the 2002 election, are back together this week. Neale Lunderville, special assistant to the governor, moved over Monday from the Fifth Floor to handle Douglas’ reelection apparatus as campaign chairman. In 2002, Neale was campaign manager. The Boy Wonder, who turns 30 in August, is now reunited with his fellow American University grad Jim Barnett. Mad Dog Barnett is the ferocious political attack pooch who in 2002 left so many teeth marks in Democrat Doug Racine’s posterior that we simply lost count. Racine still has trouble sit ting down. Just kidding. Upon taking office, Gov. Douglas showed just how much he liked this particular pooch by slipping him into the position of State Republican Party Chairman and making it a paying job for the first time in recent memory. The Nasty Boy Reunion is a sure sign the Douglas campaign is up and running, although the mainstream Vermont press declines to notice. One of the benefits of Douglas’ refusal to debate Democrat Peter Clavelle is that the absence of candidate debates gives the media nothing to cover. The strategy has so far effec tively kept Mayor Moonie’s name out of the news stream. IN SID E TRACK »

People are coming and going,” FBI Special Agent John Turkington said. A bank employee got the license number, enabling police to track the cab and arrest Di Falco.

As part o f the horseplay, he cuffed student Seth Barrett, 17. W hile trying to unlock the cuffs, D onner broke the key, then took Barrett to a welding shop and had the cuffs removed with a welder’s torch.

he Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf recently found itself in the hole, desperately short of cash. Over the past year, the non profit has experienced a 19 percent increase in demand for food-relief services. For years, its Chittenden County client base was a fairly constant 1500 households per month. But last summer that number jumped to 1800 families, and by this spring it had surpassed 2000. Why sd many hungry mouths? Sarah Barnett, the Food Shelf’s administrative coordinator, ticks off the usual forces that are driving up the cost of living in Vermont: higher prices for gasoline and home-heating fuel, rising medical co-payments, cutbacks in food stamps and federal housing subsi dies, and the ticking clock of welfare reform that is moving many of the working poor off public assistance.

It used to be that people would come to us when they were in a really bad situation. Now... we are how the work ing poor are getting by. SARAH BARNETT, CHITTENDEN EMERGENCY FOOD SH ELF Meanwhile, says Barnett, the Vermont Food Bank has seen its once-steady supply of reclaimed canned foods dwindle, as food manufacturers have improved quality con trols to cut down on the number of dented cans that find their way to food banks, for a fraction of their value. At the same time, dis count grocers are now buying up dented cans for retail sale, forcing food banks to buy canned goods at wholesale prices. It all amounts to a significant increase in expenses. It’s worth noting that only 15 percent of the Food Shelf’s clients are homeless, and 40 percent have jobs. Many are either recently unemployed or seasonally out of work and cannot make ends meet on their meager savings or unemployment checks. Barnett admits that she is wary of “crying wolf” too often about the agency’s fiscal woes, which might siphon precious resources away from other vital social servic es that are also feeling the pinch. Nevertheless, the Food Shelf’s mission has undergone a paradigm shift. “Basically, the rules of the game have changed in the last three years,” Barnett says. “If you look at the word, ‘emergency,’ it used to be that people would come to us when they were in a really bad situation. However, now we are part of people’s monthly budgets. We are how the working poor are getting by.”

Some folks in the Moretown area are bracing for a more literal cut: a controver sial quarry that could start operating on Route 100B, about four miles south of Middlesex Village and three miles north of Moretown Village.

6 Roosevelt Highway, Colchester (Exit 16) Rivers Development LLC of Waitsfield - has filed an application with Moretown’s Development Review Board (DRB). If approved, “Rivers Quarry” would operate six days a week, 10 hours a day, between April and December. The mining operation would extract 2.5 million cubic yards of rock and gravel ovdfr 25 years, lowering the elevation of 17 acres roughly 110 feet. The quarry is also looking to conduct 15 blast ing operations a year, with additional blasts done as needed. Some neighbors aren’t thrilled with the idea of all those explosions rocking their world, not to mention the dust, water runoff and diesel fumes from the 100 or so trucks that would access the site each day. They’re also concerned that all that new truck traffic will pose a safety hazard to the bicyclists who use 100B as a recreational corridor. Scott and Pat Sainsbury own a 400-acre horse farm across the road from the pro posed quarry. Like other horse-farm owners, they are concerned that the blasting and drifting will affect the health and safety of their animals and riders. The Sainsburys have built an indoor riding arena on their property and lease stalls for equestrian events. Earlier this year, one of the Sainsburys’ champion horses bolted after getting spooked by a test blast at the site. Art and Linda Hendrickson live 1100 feet from the proposed quarry. They worry that the quarry’s incessant noise, vibrations and diesel exhaust will detract from the serenity of the mostly residential area, affect local tourism and depress property values. Richard Rivers, who owns the 93-acre quarry site, couldn’t be reached for comment by press time. His DRB application states that the quarry would use natural and man made barriers and vegetation to minimize noise, pollution and other disturbances to neighbors and livestock. And though the quarry is expected to generate about 96 truck trips a day, a traffic study submitted by the applicant contends that ongoing con struction in the Mad River Valley now brings in crushed stone and gravel from other parts of Vermont. The new quarry will simply tap into that existing market and cre ate little or no net increase in traffic on 100B, the applicant claims. Some Moretown residents have suggest ed that opposition to the quarry that’s been marshaled by the Mad River Neighborhood Association is nothing more than a “Vermonter versus flatlander” spat. But Art Hendrickson, a native Vermonter, dismisses that notion. He points out that he and his wife have lived there 31 years, and his wife is a fourth-generation Moretown resident. He says he has no objection to Rivers build ing luxury homes on the property — coin cidentally, Rivers built the Sainsburys house — but contends that an industrial-sized quarry is incompatible with the area’s rural character, not to mention the Town Plan. Moretown’s DRB will dig into this issue again at its next meeting on July 14 — Bastille Day. Expect some fireworks... ®

he young man sitting beside me asked to go to Pitkin Street in the Old North EndHe spoke with a French inflection I could n’t quite place. It wasn’t from France or Montreal, in any event — those being the two French accents with which I’m most familiar. I had the sense he might hail from an African country. “You know,” I said, “my dad grew up on Pitkin Street in the 1930s. But his Pitkin Street was in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. I always think of him when I drive somebody here.” “Brooklyn, yes,” the man said. “That’s near New York City, right?” “Yup,” I replied. “It’s actually part of the city — one of the five boroughs, as they call ’em.” “I’ve never been there, New York City, but I will visit. I love this country.”

His was wearing a thin leather jacket with pockets every where, some with zippers. He tried them one at a time, getting more and more nervous. I turned to take North Union Street into the Old North End section of town. There’s no straight shot; you have to wend your way there. Last year, city planners proposed turning North Winooski Ave. into a two-way street, and my heart leapt with joy. A t long last, I thought, a direct route into the old North End! For us Bur-lington cabbies, it would be our Northwest Passage. Alas, the celebration was short-lived. The folks in the neighborhood protested loudly about expected increases in traffic, and the idea was quickly scrapped. I sup pose they had a point, but, c’mon, people. “So, where’d you come from, man?” I asked. I am sensitive about asking this question of people I take for immigrants, not want ing to underline any outsider status that’s probably part of their daily existence. As an immigrant from another state, I experience a minor twinge when native Vermonters ask me — as they invariably do — where I’m from. I suppose my accent gives me away as well. But my intuition told me it was cool to pose the question to this guy. “I am from Liberia,” he replied. “I have been here seven months. Do you know where Liberia is?” “Sure do. It’s in West Africa, right? Wasn’t that the country settled by AfricanAmericans, like in the 1800s?” “Pretty good,” he replied. “There is a lot more to the history than that, but at least

you know where it is. That is something.” “Yeah, my knowledge is about a mile wide.’’ I paused strategically for a beat. “Unfortunately, it’s only about an inch deep.” The guy laughed..“That is funny,” he said. “I get it.” “So,” I said, “you speak English real well. What other languages? French, I’m guessing.” “Yes, I speak French, too.” “Is there a native Liberian language you also know?” “Yes, of course.” As soon as he said it I felt moronic for having asked the question,, or at least for the way I’d phrased it. Not that he had responded in a chiding tone, but the “of course” was a give-away. “My native language is Vai,” he continued. “In English, people always want to spell it V-ia, because that’s how it is pronounced, but it is actually spelled V-a-i.” “I see,” I said. “So Vai is the native lan guage of Liberia. I never even heard of it.” “No, there are many tribal languages. Vai is not even one of the largest. It is only spoken by about one-half-million people. But it is my language.” We negotiated North Street, now under reconstruction. I don’t know if this venerable thoroughfare will ever come back, or even come close to the commercial heyday it enjoyed in the early to mid-20th century, but it’s still nice to see the city spend some money here. I’ve always believed that a key to Burlington’s livability — as various maga zine top-10 lists have phrased it — comes from its refusal to give up on the less well-off parts of the community. I like the attitude: We swim together or we’ll sink together. “So whatcha been up to since you arrived here?” I asked. “I work at Costco and I go to school at CCV.” “That’s great, man. Are you studying something in particular?” “I want to be an engineer.” I took the right onto Pitkin and the guy pointed out his place. I pulled to a stop and told him, “$5.50.” He reached into his pants pocket, but it was empty. Seeing me watching, he said, “No problem — I have my money here somewhere.” His was wearing a thin leather jacket with pockets everywhere, some with zip pers. He tried them one at a time, getting more and more nervous. Finally, he said, “I’m so sorry, I don’t know what happened to my money.” “Hey, that’s OK,” I said. Twenty-plus years of hacking have given me an acute sensitivity to the hustle vibration, and there was none of that here. I could tell that the guy was in an honest predicament. ‘D ’ya got any money in the house?” “Maybe my roommate. I could check.” He ran into his apartment and quickly returned with money to pay the fare. He now had a big smile on his face. “You thought maybe I was trying something with you, I bet.” I smiled back. “Not*for a minute, man,” I said. “Not for a minute.” ®

Hickok was tried for manslaughter and acquitted. A sensa tional account of the incident appeared in Harper’s in 1867, making Hickok a national celebrity. Scoffers then and since attacked the story’s credibility, in part due to the seeming unlikelihood of hitting a man-sized target with a pistol at 50 yards in 1865, but sufficient evidence has now accumulated to indicate it happened roughly as described. Not that it mat ters. If only because of the publicity, the notion of lone gunfighters facing each other down became pan of western lore.

You figure I’m going to say it’s all Hollywood. Hollywood definitely had a lot to do with it, but even in the classic cin ematic depiction, High Noon (1952), Gary Cooper faces off not against a lone opponent but an armed gang. Truth is, the archetypal one-on-one showdown is one of those fixed ideas that doesn’t have much basis in fiction, let alone in fact. Although a few such confrontations did occur, the Wild West had no tradition of formal dueling — the more common approach was to get the drop on the other guy before he got the drop on you. On the other hand, some of what we might guess was showbiz razzle-dazzle — spinning pistols, for one thing — may actually be legit. Or maybe not. The problem with sorting out old-west fact and fiction is that the mythmaking machinery was cranking from day one. Dime novels were relating the real or imagined exploits of figures like Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill and the James brothers during their lifetimes. Journalists juiced up their accounts to sell more papers (can you imagine?) and ordinary folks and sometimes the partici pants themselves embellished the truth. Nonetheless, the following showdowns seem reasonably well attested: • In 1865 James Buder Hickok, better known as Wild Bilk quarreled with Davis Tutt in Springfield, Missouri, apparendy over a debt. Around 6 PM on July 21, 1865, the two men advanced on each other in the town square, drew their guns at a range of 50 yards, and blasted away. Tutt missed; Hickok didn’t; Tutt fell with a ball through the heart.

• On March 9, 1877, gambltfs Jim Levy and Charlie Harrison argued over a game of cards in a saloon in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Levy challenged Harrison to take it outside, Harrison agreed, and the two squared off in the street. Western novelist James Reasoner claims in a recent issue of Esquire that this was “the most ‘Hollywood’ show down”; I beg to differ. Harrison shot wild; Levy took more careful aim, plugged his man, then — in a decidedly unheroic touch — approached his fallen opponent and shot him again. (One account claims Harrison fired at Levy while sprawled on the ground, but contemporary opinion held that Levy had shot a man while he was down.) Harrison died 13 days later. Levy tried for a repeat performance in 1882 when he quarreled with another gambler, John Murphy, in Tucson and challenged him to a showdown the next day, June 5. Shordy after midnight, though, Murphy and two friends spotted Levy in a doorway, decided there was no time like the present, and shot the unarmed man to death. That was more typical of old west gun battles — a fair fight offered too great a chance that the guy starting it might get killed. Other parts of the myth are also, well, mythical. The quick draw from a holster was rare; more often the gunman carried his pistol in his pocket, his belt or better yet his hand immediately prior to the commence ment of hostilities. While some famous shootists were indeed nimble with their weapons — John Wesley Hardin, Billy the Kid and Hickok are often cited in this regard — many say the importance of a quick draw has been exagger ated. Accuracy counted more than speed; keeping cool under fire was more important than both. Still, some seemingly far-fetched elements of gunfighter lore can’t be readily dismissed. In Tombstone, Arizona, in late 1880 Curly Bill Brocius fatally wounded Marshal Fred White. Rumor at the time had it that Brocius had made a show of surrendering his pistol butt first, then employed the “road agent’s spin,” twirling the gun into his hand so he could shoot the lawman. The rumor was unfounded; the shooting appears to have been an acci dent — but the maneuver itself was well-known, and no one seems to have doubted that gunfighters sometimes used it. Did they? Who knows? Tracking down the Wild West bull isn’t easy when it’s got such a long head start. C E C IL ADAM S

Moore and More hings are in a fairly delicious state when a rambling, shambling lout o f a m an can get the president o f the U nited States in a fever simply by pointing a camera and pressing “record.” Filmmaker Michael M oore is o f course such a man, and with this Friday’s release o f his latest work, Fahrenheit 9/11, the Bush adm inistration has reason to be shaking in its collective brogans. Moore is attem pting the Herculean feat o f ousting a sitting president with his film, which — like Bowling fo r Columbine and Roger and M e -— takes a personal position on problems o f national import. However, in 9/11, Moore has taken the unusual tact o f refusing to adapt facts to fit his own agenda: He just shows it like it is, and thads creepy enough., Such creepiness spawns its own: Moore-bashing is on the rise. The Move America Forward site attempts to mimic the established progressive name of MoveOn.org so closely that even the best Bush-hating liberal might stumble upon it by mistake. However, one is quickly righted, as it were.

An alarming 811,000-plus people have evidently clicked onto Moore Exposed, a terrifically ugly website hosted by a would-be documentary filmmaker who has slapped a baseball cap on an image of the Buddha to represent Moore. the filming o f Bowling fa r Columbine. “Inexplicably,” the site whines, “ 1,000 theaters have indicated they will proudly broadcast what The Guardian calls an ‘anti-war/anti-Bush’ film. And the num ber keeps growing each day. The goal o f the film is abundantly clear: to underm ine the war on terrorism.” Yup, uh-huh. W hat’s more amazing, at least to cinema bookers w ith whom I’ve spo ken, is that all their personal email addresses are listed on the Move America Forward website. Even those disaffected by Fahrenheit 9/11 should perk up; they may one day wish to register displeasure about such films as New York M inute — the semipornographic, camera-up-the-skirt adult debut o f the Olson twins — and can bookm ark this page for future protests. Move America Forward also acts as a proud clearinghouse for myriad other anti-M oore sites, o f which there are many. Stealing a riff from M oore’s recent best-seller, Moorelies.com poetically declares that “Michael Moore is a big fat stupid white m an.” T h a t’s also the title o f a book the site is producing to stop M oores “antiAmerican” actions. Actually, a quick stop at Moorelies is refreshing for the filmmaker’s fans, as it reminds us that The Onion hasn’t

tary, Super Size Me, in which Spurlock eats nothing but fast food for a m onth. But dawdling about with The Onion is progressive, and we’re on the fast-track repressive crest here. Back at Move America Forward, PABAAH receives second billing. An acronym for Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood, PABAAH also draws from M oveOn.org’s tactics, organizing “meet ups,” like those inspired by that progressive site, which was one o f the primary movers in the now-defunct Dean campaign. Unlike MoveOn, however, PABAAH addresses its readers as “patriots” and exhorts them, “The time has finally come, where the rubber meets the road... We need patriots like .you to stand outside theaters to protest on June 25th and pledge to boycott those theaters that carry this vile film.” Moore Watch claims to spy on “Michael Moores every move,” but c’m on — that’s simply not possible. Even though it states that Moore is “a disingenuous danger to this country,” Moore Watch has very little to offer other than blog entries aiming to undermine the filmmaker. The best they come up with, however, is to refer to him with the diminutive “Mikey.” Michael Moore Hates America promises that it’s not a “hatchet job

on the filmmaker,” but rather a pro motional site for another docum en tary filmmaker, Michael Wilson, who traveled the country collecting inter views on how gosh-darn good every thing is. Cheers to Michael Moore for prom pting him to do so! Wilson is actually likeable, in an icky, America-fight-or-flight kind of way. In his FAQ section he writes, “I’m a passionate guy with a camera who has a different perspective. Whothe f&!% was Michael Moore to take on GM? I mean, really, people — let’s be a little more tolerant o f others’ opinions... Just because I disagree with Moore doesn’t mean my opinion isn’t valid, does it? O f course, I’ve noticed that M oore’s fans may be some o f the least tolerant people in the world. I’ve actually received death threats from people who claim that it’s im portant to be heard, but dem and that I shut up. I guess the First A m endm ent only applies when we’re at a protest or are demanding redistribution o f wealth.” In the progressive world, we’ve all m et W ilson’s foes and, alas, he’s right — but they’re usually animal rights activists. An alarming 811,000-plus people have evidently clicked onto Moore Exposed, a terrifically ugly website hosted by a would-be docum entary

filmmaker who has slapped a baseball cap on an image o f the Buddha to represent Moore. W ith more uninten tionally prom otional links than Moore himself could provide, Moore Exposed aims to be a virulent denun ciation o f the m an but ends up actu ally providing a terrific, one-stop compilation o f great links about his work. Plus, it compares Moore to Buddha! And finally, one Richard Bushnell has spent a lot o f money and time to stage Bowling for Truth, which he bills as “The ultimate recourse to unveiling Bowling far Columbine scene by scene, line by line, lie by lie.” Bushnell claims to have never owned a gun and never wished to; he was just so irate about Columbine that he’s spent all his free time picking the thing apart. As with the other anti-Moore sites, the Oscarwinning filmmaker couldn’t have paid for better PR: All o f his films and books are given four-color notice in the upside-down advertising world of the damned. ,• A nd that just makes this good lib eral love the rambling, shambling lout o f a man even more. ® Web Feat salutes Michael Moore fa r his chutzpah, guts and searing desire far regime change.

Brilliant! This from the same candidate who two years ago at this time had been running TV and radio com mercials for more than a month. / Candidate Douglas even com plained to the Rutland Herald on June 12, 2002, that Doug the Democrat was “ducking debates.” “[Racine’s] campaign manager said last year or early this year that it was not in his candidates interest to attend forums, but it is certainly in the publics interest,” Douglas said back then. .Nothing like success to change one’s world view, eh? P.S. Also, teaming up with the Nasty Boys are Ian Grossman and D ennise Casey.

Ian will be the campaign manag er. And, yes, like Jim and Neale, he’s an American University grad. What a coincidence! Dennise will be Ian’s deputy. She actually graduated UVM, we’re told. Diversity, eh? Hospital Hill — Not much to report regarding the dispute between management apd nurses over staffing levels. We reported last week that one floor recently had a shift with just one nurse on duty for every 10 patients. The day after Seven Days hit the street, The Burlington Free Press gave its take on what’s going on at Fletcher Allen Health Care with an informative, top-of-the-page news article on the Mary Fanny’s effort to improve the food at Vermont’ largest hospital. r I’m not making this up. Don’t expect the nurses’ union to get a whole lot of play in our local Gannett-chain daily. Gannett man agers view union organizing as the equivalent of a smallpox outbreak. Every union effort at the Freeps has been beaten back. The local daily followed up the hospital food story with a big one on the Mary Fanny’s effort to replace offshore medical transcriptionists with locals. City Councilor Phil Fierm onte led the charge. Both stories originated as hospi tal press releases. Got to get story ideas somewhere, eh? When asked about the Freeps’ food story, Jen Henry, R.N., presi dent of the nurses’ union, smiled politely. “Nurses don’t have time to eat,” Nurse Jen said calmly. “But it’s nice,” she added, “to hear the food is getting better.” Unfortunately, Nurse Jen hasn’t heard back from the hospital trustees on the subject of safe nurse-topatient ratios. And she hasn’t heard from Chairman Bill Schubart about doing lunch, either. Nor has Mr. Schubart, also chair man of the board at Vermont Public Radio, returned Seven Days’call from last week. Guess he likes the new food, eh? P.S. Freeps neighbors on College Street have been asking us why the paper won’t lower its flag to halfstaff in honor of Ronald Reagan. Haven’t a clue.

it was just a little cat nap; everyone takes them now and then. But the cat napper spotted snoozing in the big comfy chair in the lobby of the Wyndham Hotel Monday wasn’t

your ordinary citizen. Rather it was the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate! Jack McMillion, er, McMullen, the Massachusetts transplant on a one-man crusade to become rele vant, was catching a few zzzz’s w hile waiting for Monday’s Rotary Club luncheon to start. Gov. Jim Douglas was the guest of honor. When we passed McSnoozer in the lobby, we first thought the worst and checked to make sure he was breathing. Whew! Fortunately, a few minutes later, Mr. McMullen awoke and entered the hotel ballroom looking white as a sheet. Yours truly was so concerned we tipped off the Guv’s security officer, asking him to keep an eye on the lit tle bald guy. A health emergency could be just around the corner, and, troopers know CPR. “You’re right,” said the officer. “The guy looks really pale.” Thankfully, McSnoozer made it through lunch OK. The day before, Mr. McMullen appeared on WCAX-TV’s “You Can Quote Me.” To say it was a rather odd program is putting it mildly. As he did six years ago in his humiliating loss to the late, great Fred Tuttle in the GOP Primary, McSnoozer preaches a gospel of eco nomic development. He blamed St. Patrick for IBM’s decision to build their new chip plant in New York. He also noted the federal judge who recendy halted the Circ Highway, Big Bad Bill Sessions, was nomi nated by Leahy. Twice host Marselis Parsons politely reminded Jack he was run ning for the U.S. Senate, not Vermont Secretary of Commerce. Actually, McMullen has already made a significant contribution to Vermont commerce. Jack’s dropped more personal dough on his dream of being a senator than the average Vermonter earns in a decade. Thanks, Jack! Meanwhile, McMullen’s Democratic opponent Sen. Patrick Leahy upstaged McSnoozer on the Sunday morning Ch. 3 airwaves without even trying. A younger-looking St. Patrick * showed up on CBS’ “Face the Nation” just 10 minutes before “Quote Me.” It was a “50th Anniversary Flashback” and starred a tall, thin dude who still had a couple of hairs on top of his head. The year was 1985. The topic was terrorism. TWA 847 out of Athens had been hijacked. Burlington architect Tom Cullins was on board. The then-junior senator from Vermont was chillingly prescient: “We keep saying that, ‘Boy, next time, we’re... we’re going to come back,”’ said Leahy. “And we said this when 250 more Marines got murdered in Beirut, when our embassies get blown up, our ambassadors are killed, our people are kidnapped. “I mean, every year there are more and more terrorist attacks, and every year we say, ‘Boy, we’re going to be tough on this,’ but we don’t do a darned thing. “I think at some point we’re going to see terrorism on a larger scale exported to the United States, and we’re going to face it here. We might as well understand the reali ties of it. And at some point, every-

SEVENDAYS I june 23-30, 2004 I in sid e tra c k 17A body’s going to have to wake up to the fact that we are going to have to set our priorities right and get better intelligence.” Too bad nobody in charge was lis tening to what the Vermont senator was saying, eh? P.S. Late word Tuesday that McSnoozer’s campaign manager has ju st resigned! According to McMullen spokesman Rob Roper, Campaign Manager Greg Hahn has indeed “returned to New Hampshire to resolve some family issues.” Mr. Roper told Seven Days, “It’s not official that he won’t be back. We’re hoping he will.” Don’t bet on it.

Good News — Our distinguished

Commissioner of Travel and Tourism told Seven Days this week that roomsand-meals tax receipts are up 6 per cent so far this year, and the big sum mer tourism season is only just begin ning. According to Bruce Hyde, Vermont’s increase comes while Massachusetts has experienced a dou ble-digit drop in tourism dollars. In addition, the state’s tourism website is enjoying record hits this year. Inquiries are up. “There’s a lot of Web traffic,” said Hyde. Cool. And, says Cousin Brucie, tourist tax revenues climbed despite the bit terly cold January that kept skiers off the mountains. Why is Vermont increasingly pop ular? Hyde remembers well the gloomand-doom forecast by civil-union opponents back in 2000. At the time, Cousin Brucie was a Republican state rep from Fayston. He easily recalls the vulgar, homophobic emails from across America that flooded the Statehouse back then. Writers pro claimed their intolerance by swearing they’d boycott Vermont! Bruce Hyde was one of 14 House Republicans who voted in favor of civil unions. He took a lot of heat for * it. But Mr. Hyde is the kind of guy who doesn’t have trouble grasping the meaning of “equal rights.” Jim Douglas opposed civil unions. Four years later, Hyde is Douglas’ tourism commissioner (appointed after losing the race for state auditor), and he’s delighted to report that civil unions deserve some credit for the boost in Vermont tourism. Countless gay-friendly tourist-related businesses have sprung up, said Cousin Brucie. Money knows no sexual preferences. In fact, there’s been concern, said Hyde, that Massachusetts’ recent legal ization of gay marriage would put a dent in the Vermont trade. But, Hyde pointed out that the Bay State policy of offering marriage licenses exclusive ly to Massachusetts residents has kept Vermont’s civil-union romantic week ends alive. And what about our former favorite presidential hopeful? Was Howard Dean an inadvertent tourism ambassador for Vermont? “I certainly wouldn’t say he wasn’t,” replied Cousin Brucie the Republican. Dean’s national presence has put Vermont on the map. Now a lot more people know we’re a state, not a province of Canada.” Thanks, Ho-Ho. It was worth it, after all. ®

hristopher Wren shed 19 pounds while hoofing it from New York City to Fairlee, Vermont. Nearly two years after finishing the journey that inspired his book Walking to Vermont, he’s still slimmed down. “I’m about up to 165,” says the former New York Times foreign correspondent during a phone call from the Boston airport, where he’s about to board a plane for Kazakhstan. “But I still haven’t put it back on. Walking, I think, is one of the most underrated forms o f exercise.” Among the things W ren has

how do you enter this next stage of your life with any semblance o f style or self-respect?” Style and self-respect, Wren dis covered, would arrive in steps — about 800,000 o f them, in fact, over the 400-mile trip. “I had always thum bed my nose at walking when I was a runner, and then I realized, actually, it’s good exercise,” he says. “You don’t have the pounding on your knees.” He picked up a few blisters, but carrying a 50-pound pack and nosh-

Health advocates explain that light exercise is just as effective as intense efforts for losing weight and reducing heart disease; they urge us to stop pigging out and start picking up our feet. And Wren isn’t the only one lis tening: Pedometers have become a fitness craze, with conscientious citi zens recording every step they take and aiming to reach 10,000 — the magic num ber for improving health. Guidebooks like Fitness Walking for Dummies and Fitness Walking advise us how to walk (no elbow-whipping,

Health advocates explain that light exercise is just as effective as intense efforts for losing weight and reducing heart disease. packed for his trip to Kazakhstan are a pile o f letters from readers, who claim the book changed their lives, and a pair o f hiking boots' for walk ing the Central Eurasian hills. Wren, who now trains Kazak jour nalists three times a year, wasn’t look ing to lose weight when he retired from reporting. He simply headed out o f his Times Square office on his last day o f work, stopped at his M anhattan apartm ent, and then made a beeline for his hom e in the C onnecticut River Valley. But instead o f hopping into a B M W 5-series or a V W Touareg like so m any fellow New Yorkers bound for the Green M ountain State, Wren chose to walk. “After 40 years as a working jour nalist, I had collided with the life change that is the stuff o f which dreams and nightmares are fash ioned,” he writes. “Once the fizz is gone from the goodbye champagne,

ing on noodles, oatmeal, chocolate and rice -— all chock -ull o f carbs — Wren dropped weight. He ate when he felt like it, even feasted on cookies and buttery sauces when stopping in towns, but still he got skinny. “At the end o f the day I was,pretty hungry,” says Wren. “But I think a lot o f eat ing is a social thing.” Sharing meals, large and small, happens all around the world, but as news reports constantly nag us, Americans are eating more than their fair share and walking a heck o f a lot less than the rest o f the hum an race. Vermonters might be outdoorsy, but they can also be darned lazy at times: For some perfectly able-bodied folks, “camping” means driving to the side o f a river, waddling off their RV, dragging out a grill, a feed bag of chips and a gallon o f soda, then eat ing and drinking enough to end up comatose under the stars.

please) and how to avoid the dreaded “turkey strut” and “bubble b u tt.” Even M cD onald’s has slipped “Step W ith It!” pedometers into its Go Active! meals and works with the American College o f Sports Medicine to promote walking. (Num ber o f steps required to work off the crispy chicken California Cobb salad with ranch dressing: about 12,000.) If only the landscape around those M cD onald’s restaurants encouraged taking steps: D uring the past few decades, roads have been widened, malls built and housing develop ments constructed to fit our hulking trucks and cars, not to m ention our bloated bodies. A recent story in Time magazine revealed that nearly half o f Americans report they lack the sidewalks and other pedestrianfriendly resources to walk to a desti nation from their homes. “Burlington is a city you can walk

in,” Wren observes. But elsewhere in Vermont, where country roads and shady trails beckoned him from his city perch, being a pedestrian isn’t always as easy as it looks. “Land-use planning is critical, because if you put jobs in one place, and the shopping center somewhere else, and the housing somewhere else, you’re almost forcing people to use their cars,” says Beth Humstone, director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl (VFOS). “I think we’ve had a long history o f that kind o f planning in Chittenden County and other parts of Vermont.” H um stone also notes that as cars have gotten bigger, drivers have become increasingly removed from the world going on around them. Wren felt the brunt o f this phe nom enon on his trek. “Few competi tors for space evoke as much derision from American motorists as does the solitary walker,” he writes. “This con tem pt is relatively recent, because walking doesn’t sound so bizarre in the context of, well, the history of m ankind. My ancestors walked. So did yours, for that m atter... N ot until well into the 20th century did Americans claim a patriotic right to drive gas-guzzlers to neighborhood block parties and the corner store. This preceded a recent finding by the Centers for Disease Control that three out o f five adult Americans are seriously overweight.” Bucking the trend in Vermont, a group o f students from Champlain Elementary School participated this year in a program called “Healthy Neighborhoods/Healthy Kids.” They rated sidewalk conditions, crosswalks and other factors affecting the feasi bility of walking to school, and fol lowed up with improvement projects. Now, says former VFOS associate director Sarah Judd, “The kids feel proud of their neighborhoods and are more apt to feel safe enough to walk.” The program will expand to the Lawrence Barnes Elementary School for 2004-2005, and may one day spread beyond Chittenden County. “We’d really like to see the agency of transportation and the departm ent o f health get together and work on a statewide walk-toschool program,” says Humstone. Adults could take a few lessons from their kids. “About 50 percent of the people who live in Burlington work in Burlington, so many of those people could be walking or bicycling to work,” says Becka Roolf, executive director o f the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition, which advocates human-powered travel. O ne o f its projects is a proposed 96-mile rail trail from St. Johnsbury to Swanton for recreational use. T he group also urges Vermonters to consider alter nate forms o f commuting. “Sometimes in the ride-share listings I’ve seen people who are interested in getting a ride for a mile,” notes Roolf. “It didn’t used to be that a mile was too far to walk.” Those willing to go that extra mile can take some advice from Christopher Wren: “You just get up and put one foot in front o f the other.” ®

f you didn’t discover superhero comics when you were 12, you probably never will. As soon as you lose that childlike naivete, it’s almost impossi ble not to ridicule the concept of STORY grown men and women running BRYAN around in what comics writer Warren S T R A T T O N Ellis calls skin-tight “pervert suits,” superpowers or no. IMAGE Twelve years old is also just about W A RREN the last age at which you’re willing to E L L IS accept the hum iliation that comes with buying comics — and I don’t mean the blank stares you get from non-comics readers who assume that you’re slightly retarded for spending money on “picture books.” O f the many brutally honest caricatures that “The Simpsons” has contributed to popular culture, none rings truer than

The Five Best Graphic Novels You Haven’t Read 1. Jimmy Corrigan:'The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware.

The most ambitious use of the medium to date. Call it the Ulysses of comics. 2. Midnight Nation by J. Michael Straczynski. A supernatural tale of loss and redemption with unpredictable plot twists. 3. Global Frequency: Planet Ablaze by Warren Ellis. One thousand one members of a planetary alliance solve the problems that world governments can't or won't. 4. Blankets by Craig Thompson. A 700-page look back at first love that will break your heart all over again. 5. Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset by Rick Veitch. Vermonter Veitch spins a horrific noir pulp yarn; Stephen King meets The Spirit.

There’s a reason the O utpost is celebrating 20 years in business this m onth: Patterson, now 47, is Com ic Book G uy’s polar opposite. H e actu ally likes his customers.

carefully selected the decidedly non-seminal Transformers #13 as my free comic. To say that a licensed comic based on Hasbro’s “Robots in Disguise” toy lacked the cachet o f Moore and Miller s epics would be an understatement. Transformers was dam n near bottom-feeding, as far as serious comics collectors were con cerned. But there’s no account ing for taste, especially those of a young boy. H ad Com ic Book Guy been running the register, I would have been subjected to a wither ing barrage o f insults and exiled from the store. Instead, with a sincere wish for me to enjoy the issue, Patterson made me a comics fan for life, too, right there on the spot.

form I love above all others is really the least o f the influences Patterson has had on my life. W hen I transferred from a pri vate Baptist school to a public school at age 12, I suffered a severe culture shock. Having been educated up to that point in an antiseptic bubble of Christian kindness, I had'an emotional im m une system that was completely unprepared for com m on adolescent cruelty. I didn’t have to deal with any thing worse than the crap your average sixth-grader has to take from his peers. But I was a gawky kid with Coke-bottle glasses who didn’t understand' that trying hard in school, being polite to teachers, and getting good grades were not desirable qualities in my new social circle. T h at’s when I started inhab iting the O utpost. Despite the fact that my paper route would n’t subsidize the purchase o f

knowledge, he’d pull out a stack of back issues, sit me down, and make me read them until I’d filled in that particular gap. Most of the happy memories I have from my middle-school years are o f times spent at the O utpost. The dry, autumnal smell of a room filled with gracefully aging books can still drown me in a wave o f nostal gia. It’s impossible to overstate the positive effect Patterson had on my teenage self. Barre is a tough place to grow up — which should come as no sur prise considering that its name was decided by a bare-knuckle fistfight. O ne day in seventh grade, I realized that I was the only person in the classroom whose parents were still married and living together. I knew kids my own age who became par ents before reaching high school. Barre’s rates o f alco holism, drug use, child abuse and violent crime are all higher than the state norm. Having a place like the Comics O utpost, where imagination and intelli gence were prized commodities, was literally a lifesaver. And knowing an iconoclast like Patterson, an open-m inded agnostic whose moral code was based on the concept o f doing unto others as you’d have done unto yourself, gave me the courage to find the beat of my own drum m er and march to it. His example helped inspire me to move to northern California on a whim, where I lucked into a job at a video-game magazine. Today, I’m a contracted Random House author who Works from hom e playing games for a living. Personally, I don’t find that as impressive as carving out a niche selling comic books in a blue-collar

quarry town for two decades, but its at least as bizarre. And if there’s one lesson I learned at the O utpost, it’s that strange is good. As cozy a refuge as the Comics O utpost was, however, it wasn’t just a hideout. It was more like a clubhouse, where anyone was welcome as long as they behaved themselves. The O utpost is Barre’s equivalent o f the Island o f Misfit Toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It attracts a certain type o f societal castoff and introduces them to others like themselves. Two dozen o f the best friends I will ever have are people I met there. O ne o f them is Tony Tower, a former O utpost employee w ho aptly describes Patterson as a “gate way drug.’’ W hen I started writing this article, I asked Patterson to have a few o f his customers email me if they wanted to contribute something. Three days later, my inbox was flood ed with messages from people falling all over themselves to tell me how much the O utpost has meant to them. Several o f them have moved away from central Vermont, as I have, but still purchase their comics from the O utpost via mail order — the comics equivalent o f a junkie ordering smack online and patiently waiting a week for it to show up. This is the kind o f loyalty Patterson engenders. u W henever I return to Vermont, the O utpost is the second stop on my list after my parents’ house. And if the store hadn’t relocated from Granite to M ain Street a few years ago, I’d swear nothing had changed in the last two decades. Simultaneously breaking balls and dispensing wisdom, Patterson still plays the role o f exasperated shepherd to a new generation o f young Turks hanging out in the back room. The same veteran customers still stop by every week w ith out fail, as much to gab with Patterson as to pick up their weekly four-color fix. I like to just sit back and take it all in, just as I did when I was 12 years old and beginning to realize there was more to life than getting sand kicked in your face, even if you were a 98-pound weakling. I don’t know how Patterson has found the energy to survive 20 years in a business that’s not exactly known for creating mil lionaires. I hope he’s got anoth er 20 in him, because some where out there is a kid who needs help. H e’s not about to be beaten up by a gang o f thugs, nor is his school bus hurtling towards a cliff. Those problems could be solved with a quick shout for Superman. No, this kid is just lonely and feeling beaten down by the world, and the only way the M an o f Steel can help him is if someone takes the tim e to put the comic book in his hands. This looks like a job for M ark Superman Patterson. ®

Stand-Up Poet B urlington bard S e th Jarvis gets th e last w ord

STORY

M ARGOT H A R R IS O N IMAGE

M A TTH EW TH O RSEN

t’s a slowish Sunday night at Burlington’s W aiting Room, and an open-mike poetry reading — part o f the bar’s weekly artsProject — is in full swing. Politics is in the air, and the m ood is pretty serious. A grizzled, intense poet nam ed Blackwing describes the Americans at Abu Ghraib as “a subhum an army o f badass belligerents.” In a poem explaining “why I am a feminist,” a college-age woman takes Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson to task for convincing young girls that it’s cool to be dumb and blonde. T hen Seth Jarvis steps up to the mike. A veteran o f Burlington’s 5year-old poetry-slam scene, he’s here to read from his new chapbook, manipulate the world, published by Michigan’s W ordsmith Press. At 29, Jarvis has the velvety, artfully m odu lated voice o f someone who’s at home onstage. He launches into a poem that doesn’t make a whole lot o f sense, but visibly relaxes the cocktailguzzling crowd. It’s a ditty about a girl nam ed Cynthia who carries starfish in her lunchbox. A few poems later, Jarvis starts talking to the audience. “I got a beef w ith weather reporters. W hat other profession can you fiick up as consis tently and not be fired?” he Seinfelds, after some innocuou^rem arks about the weather. Three beats later he’s put V his poet hat back on.' It soon becomes clear that Jarvis doesn’t draw lines between his poetry and his patter. O ne m om ent he’s describing burnt-out rebels “fighting our eyelids like we’re fighting the tru th .” The next he’s riffing on the origin o f the word “chapbook,” or pretending to give the audience the scoop on the concurrent “Sopranos” finale. His performance straddles improv and careful orchestration, and it definitely doesn’t resemble most „ people’s idea o f a poetry reading. There are no throat-clearings, no m om ents o f awkward earnestness, and no dog-eared notebooks. Jarvis has his material in his head. In this non-m em orizing age, it’s an impressive feat — especially when Jarvis takes requests. “There were a lot o f words in my head on Sunday,” he recalls with a chuckle, sitting down to talk a week later at M uddy Waters. W hen he first started performing poetry this way, in 1996, memoriza tion was so unusual that “eye contact seemed to disturb the audience,” Jarvis says. W hile he has a practical reason for learning things by heart — “I some times tend to shake, and holding a piece o f paper and having it shake is terribly distracting for audiences” — Jarvis likes the freedom memorization gives him to “drop in lines and change things according to circum stance.” T he benefits are enough to make him risk the possibility o f “blanking,” which he describes as “a horrendous feeling, like the floor has just dropped out from under your feet.”

Jarvis is no stranger to th e stage. A Burlington native, he studied at a num ber o f universities and participat ed in theater and improvisation groups, mostly in the South. W hen he decided to “explore more intro spective areas of artistic expression,” poetry slams immediately appealed to Jarvis as a way to “combine the per formance aspects with writing.” He gave his first reading in Virginia in 1991. Back in the Green Mountains, Jarvis was involved in organizing the Vermont Poetry Slam from its incep tion in 1999. “For about three or so years I was a slam master,” he says, fondly remembering nights when the now-defunct Rhombus Gallery drew capacity crowds o f 75 people, “all focused on poetry. There were no cap puccino makers in the background.” Now that the gallery is “resting in peace due to urban renewal,” the slams have found a new home at the artsProject, a brainchild of Jarvis’ friend, W aiting Room owner Anna Rosenbloom. The weekly Sundaynight scene is both an event and a meeting place that showcases visual and performing artists. To some, the words “poetry slam” call up a vision o f anemic post-adoles cents lamenting lost loves and bad parents, or street-corner evangelist manques rasping out a political agen da in painfully literal terms. Jarvis likes the fact that the slam is an open forum for self-expression, but for his own part, he steers away from both confessional and proselytizing poetry, preferring something a bit more oblique — and funny. “As a performer, at least in Vermont, he is unique,” says G eof Hewitt, a long-time local poet who’s competed twice with Jarvis in nation al slam competitions. “He has a laidback style that, in an ironic sense, makes the power o f his poems more dynamic. He sells it with performa tive understatement, but behind all his hum or is a deadly seriousness.” “There’s a constant struggle in cre ating art between honesty and imagi nation,” Jarvis says. Before manipulate the world, he put out several chapbooks with the M inimal Press — a “guerilla publishing collective” origi nally based at Rhombus. Jarvis’ work resounds with the collective voice of the by-now-cliched caffeine- and dis appointm ent-addled slacker tribe. In “shifting,” they’re “sitting in our makeshift apartm ents,/thinking o f old sitcom episodes.” In “brief history” they’re described as “scratch [ing] their unshaven indignation.” But Jarvis also knows how to poke fun at the coffeehouse crowd. In “even w hen,” he skewers nostalgia for an imaginary past; “yeah life was bet ter then/even when it wasn’t/ .../ money was healthier/lies were better told/we respected one another/it was never this cold.” A fan o f Oscar W ilde and D orothy Parker, Jarvis likes to sidestep his own earnestness with a comic aphorism.

There are no throat-clearings, no moments of awkward earnestness, and no dog eared notebooks. Jarvis has his material in his head. w etc.” proffers a tip for beginning w rit ers: “write what you know./if that doesn’t work,/make the shit up.” Jarvis isn’t afraid to take his own advice in poems that veer from his own experience. An example o f “mak ing the shit up” — with help from research — is'a poem called “swing tim e,” which he wrote “as a nod to my dad” and to his family’s long line o f soldiers. Based on his grandfather’s experiences in World War II, the poem contains at least one period ref erence — to George Seldes, the early anti-tobacco crusader — so obscure that he says it even perplexed an over50 audience at another gig. Yet this depiction o f soldiers on leave and having “a root-toot roottoot-tootin’ good tim e... singing ‘farewell 1944!*' was a crowd-pleaser when Jarvis read it at T he Waiting Room. His delivery brought out the internal rhymes and staccato rhythms, which im itated the frenetic pace of

jitterbugging, and spoke to every gen eration’s fight for its right to party. At the same time, the poem’s darker , notes — “don’t count corpses, ignore the scores” — tapped into current anti-war sentiment. Some o f Jarvis’ poems are explicit ly political, like his vision o f a utopi an progressive future in “the great someday,” which he wrote for the Burlington Legacy Project in 2000. Id general, though, Jarvis likes the fact that poetry allows you to be “more subtle in your approach [to political issues] than you m ight be able to in more structured narrative forms. You can deal w ith things on almost an allegorical level if you w ant to .” He cites a poem in progress, “The Day Ronald Reagan D ied,” which features a running m otif o f everyday lapses in memory — losing car keys, flicking the wrong light-switch. The underlying notion, he says, is the

“collective amnesia” o f a nation mourning Reagan w ithout m ention ing “his more questionable accom plishments.”

Jarvis thinks that the slam form by its very nature is political: it democratizes poetry. He explains: “Were living in this exciting time when all the means o f production are available to the individual. You can self-publish a novel or shoot and edit a film. I think slams*are part o f that general trend, whereas poetry over time had come to be thought o f as something removed from everyday experience, something that had to be studied or that you needed scholars to help you interpret.” Hearing someone like Jarvis per form reminds us that there was a time when poetry was exclusively recited or sung — that some o f its roots, in fact, are in the popular ditties o f trouba dours and ballad singers. It’s telling that, while some o f Jarvis’ influences are poets — e. e. cummings, Lawrence Ferlinghetti — others are singer-songwriters such as,Tom Waits and Ani DiFranco. M any o f his lyrics feature lines that return like refrains. It’s easy tq see..why Jarvis identifies with musicians. W ithoutfpie secuntjjf blanket of the poet’s traditional podi um, singers and slammers alike are forced to m aintain what he calls a “direct connection” with the audi ence. Jarvis keeps these intersections o f poetry and music in m ind when he teaches performance-poetry work shops to kids, from third-graders on up. “Once you make the connection between Eminem and poetry, sudden ly it’s not some dusty old realm o f academia,” he says. “It’s what I’m lis tening to on my headphones right now.” Like most poets, Jarvis has a day job — as the buyer at W aterfront Video. In his spare time, he’s moving •forward with new projects. At The Waiting Room, Jarvis performed part of his poetry set with the three-piece Adam Cooper W ood Experience semi-improvising in the background. He expects a C D o f the collaboration to come out within a few months, but says its performance phase is still “experimental.” He’s also acting in a film directed by Burlington College alum Rob Koier. In his poetry, Jarvis has been mov ing forward, too, into formal experi ments — pasting phrases from other poets together in pieces he calls “cut ups,” or creating found poetry from Free Press headlines. Maybe his great est strength, though, is as a poet o f everyday language, where he has a comic’s knack for puncturing illusions and pretensions. “He brings* down some o f the inflated language [of poetry],” suggests Hewitt. Sometimes Jarvis’ criticism is selfdirected. A poem in the 2002 volume critical snarks, “all artists are liars, poets are the worst” — a point the philosopher Plato, who banished poets from his ideal republic, would

ouise Pittman,"the librarian behind the wheel o f the Adams C ounty bookmobile, was a hippie. So was everyone who had anything to do with books, as far as I could tell growing up in rural Pennsylvania. I was 13 and starved for something I’d been told in no uncertain terms was not good fo r me. My father was a Red Scare kind o f guy and Louise was, well, something else. I suspected that “something” was subversive. In my opin ion, the books-and-hippies connection had everything to do with the Question Authority thing I’d been direly warned against. This is how I was seduced into T he Counterculture. It wasn’t only the copy of Our Bodies Ourselves Louise put in my hands, or the Joan Baez record she brought along one week. In truth, it was Louise’s constant interest in my writing, which she asked for on each visit. She read the poetry I wrote, and she asked my opinion about the books she brought me to read. Forget the communist threat; my notebooks o f juvenilia blossomed like summer tiger lilies in Louise’s sunshine, shooting hardy roots for the life before me. W hatever it was Louise put in the water, it stuck. These days I live above a bookstore built on a veritable hippie aquifer: M ontpelier’s Bear Pond. Ow ner

Michael Katzenberg opened the place in 1973 in its original location at 100 Main Street. He was 26, from Hartsdale, New York, and a graduate o f Williams College. M ontpelier Mayor Mary Hooper notes, “In the ’60s, there wasn’t m uch ‘culture’ of the sort people associate with M ontpelier today. We didn’t have N EC I, or O nion River Sports, Buch Spieler or The H orn of the M oon Cafe. W hen those businesses got started there was nothing else remotely like them in tow n.” Bear Pond preceded them all, H ooper says. Katzenberg recalls that the first book he sold was The Family o f M an. T hat August 3rd sales record reads like a Cultural History syllabus: The Second Sex, I Sing the Body Electric, Sometimes a Great Notion, Open Marriage and Foxfire, as well as multiple volumes o f Narnia and Dune, one Rolling Stone magazine and Flat Pick Country Guitar. Today the store is located across the street, at 77 Main. In summer, the cadre o f small businesses around the intersection o f State and M ain opens up to the season o f street life. Like the row o f Harleys parked- across the street at C harlie-O ’s, the tables o f remainders outside Bear Pond blur the line between indoors and out.

They’re also between books and writers — a surprisingly large num ber of whom converge in Montpelier, and at Katzenberg’s store. “At Bear Pond you are connected to an older way of interacting with a bookstore,” says novelist Howard Norman, a Washington, D .C. resident who summers in Calais. “There is a depth, an incredible n um ber o f good writers in and around Montpelier, and they gravitate to Bear Pond because the level of engagement with reading among the staff is remarkable.” The dialogues that take place at Bear Pond aren’t just literary, but literal. W illiam Corbett, a Writer-in-Residence at MIT, spends summers in Vermont. For 20 years he’s been coming into M ontpelier every week for the farmer’s market and books. “I went to Bear Pond as a reader long before I went as a writer to read my books there,” explains the author of Vermont Boston: Poems. “They joke with you, remember you. They do right by you. You know, they treat you the way you’d want to be treated.” Corbett calls the feel ing between staff and customers at Bear Pond “a kind of chem*^ ” istry. “They know you,” confirms Ellen Voigt, ex-pat o f Virginia since 1969, former Vermont Poet Laureate and a National Book Award finalist. “They get to know what you like and they’ll say, ‘How about this?”’ A poet o f physical and textural detail, she is grateful for the calm and welcoming arrange m ent o f books. T he way the space is laid out makes a world o f difference, Voigt suggests. “You don’t come in and get assaulted by the best-seller thing.” Judevine author and frequent N PR guest David Budbill

Dreamed Only Geese. The selection at Bear Pond, as at many independent book stores, represents “the stamp of individuals,” as Budbill puts it, rather than corporate buying. An anti-Bush book called The New Pearl Harbor is prom inent ly displayed at the front of the store. Barnes & Noble has it hold up in the history section. Both Katzenberg and Linda Leehman, the store manager, are quick to turn the tables, point ing out that their inventory really reflects the community. “We couldn’t get away with this store anywhere else,” Leehman says. Asked to elaborate, she muses for a bit on Goddard College and the writer’s pro gram at Vermont College, both o f which attract to the area “scholars who seek a more inde pendent experience. But it is also that tsunami o f people who migrated in the ’60s. Something like 200,000 people came into Vermont. Most of the big wave had moved on by the ’80s. Some people, including me, found what we were really look ing for here,” Leehman con cludes with a smile. “We lin gered.” But for all its catering to a quirky crowd, Bear Pond can’t do it all. W hile I’m hanging around one afternoon buying a copy o f Voigt’s Shadow o f Heaven and Jody Gladding’s recent chapbook, Artichoke, a customer approaches Katzenberg and asks him for “a hard-cover copy o f Ulysses, or Keats.” After apologizing and offering to order the books, Katzenberg turns to me and says, “T hat kills me. I mean, I see this as the kind o f place that should have those things, but it is just so impossible to predict. I don’t care about the sale. I feel bad about disappointing that guy.”

He means it. And when I ask Katzenberg a series o f typical business-measurement questions, he smiles sheepishly. “I don’t know almost any o f those kinds of numbers,” he admits. “There’s this thing people always ask about linear feet, which I guess is shelf space or something, but we just don’t think o f the books that way.” W hat he does think about is the com m unity o f Montpelier, especially serious readers and writers. “I love writers,” Katzenberg enthuses. “Writers are excited, passionate about what they do. You don’t meet an indifferent writer, or if you do, they are not really a writer. They are certainly not getting pub lished.” T h at’s why he goes out o f his way to support writers he thinks are im portant. T he store carries

a substantial inventory o f new or underappreciated writers with print runs o f 5000 copies, even though their books are usually not financially viable. Vermont poet Jody Gladding confirms that Bear Pond is as necessary to writing as it is to reading. An employee there from 1987 to 1994, she calls the store essential. “If I hadn’t had that, I don’t think I would have had my first book [Stone Crop] published when I did,” she claims. “I was constantly around people who loved books, and that was very im p o rtan t... You realize that there are other people who are hungry for books in the same way you are.” This sense o f connection gets reinforced through Bear Pond’s lively schedule o f readings. In addition to events such as the Save the W inooski River and

the Poets Against the War read ings, the book store sponsors scores o f events featuring local authors. “Bear Pond functions as the center o f the com m uni ty,” Budbill comments. “It’s not just where the books are. It’s where literature exceeds the books and becomes part o f the com m unity.” It may be that Katzenberg’s com m itm ent embodies that same support Louise Pittm an offered me a t 13. She was some one who encouraged passion instead o f ridiculing it. She encouraged it with books that never failed to arrive; encour aged the habit o f spending time with myself, o f knowing w hat I thought. This may have been the most subversive thing Louise gave me. A nd maybe that’s what Bear Pond gives central Vermont. ®

Summer Shorts Seven Days’ d riv e -in m o v ie th e a te r s to ry c o n te s t w in n e rs rive-in movie theaters may be going the way o f gasoline under $2 per gallon, but opening day at those still standing is a sure sign summer’s here. The idea o f watching movies from cars under the stars also evokes all sorts o f other associations. We invited the writers among our readers to reel out their own drive-in stories in 400 words or less. M any thanks to everyone who took us up on our offer. We’re sharing, w ith you w ith the seven best. Pass the popcorn.

BA CK STO RY Look, she had said, love is about maturity, about growing, and he thought, okay, that was something they fucking-A-well knew something about. They had grown tired o f stealing comics from the drugstore, hadn’t they? And then tired o f stealing cigarettes from the carton his father kept in the oak desk in the den, and then they had grown tired o f stealing beer out o f garages in the neighborhood. Well, she had grown tired o f stealing beer. Lately there was a book always sticking up out o f the ass pocket o f her jeans: Franny and Zooey, A Coney Island o f some thing something, the pocket cut off the rest o f the title. In response he had stopped shaving his upper lip. Look, she had said, Alan asked me to go to the movies, and I’m going. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings. Anyway, Jesus, it’s only a movie. W hat are you seeing? he had asked, and spat an arcing jet o f saliva between his front teeth. Oliver. You’re sulking. I hate it when you sulk. It reminds me o f my dad. Is Alan driving you himself? he had asked hopelessly. Later he implored his m other to take him to the Ardmore. She couldn’t understand why he wanted to go to a drive-in theater on a Saturday afternoon in July. To see about a job, he said. Get in the car. I’ll be five mintites, his m other said.

■

She had her date w ith Alan. Fromihis new post in the snack bar he had seen them arrive in a flu e Valiant and made a point p i l o t i n g the row they parked in, and on his early break he had spied on them a little. They were sitting awkwartfly, far apart, and before the movie was even half over his heart was light and he didn’t check on them again. His late break was spent exploring the projection house. He worked at the Ardmore the rest o f that summer and the next two, and then left town to study film at USC. T he autum n after graduation he received the invitation to her wedding. He was happy to accept and she was thrilled he was coming all the way from L.A. How lovely, how grateful she would look as she turned to face the congregation, Alan smiling beside her, the trembling bouquet o f white and yellow roses cascading like popcorn from her hands.

DRIVE IN N S AND OUTS

BELLEVIEW About halfway between Glen Godfrey and Glen Galagaskin, there used to be a single-screen drive-in movie theater called the Belleview. The screen was erected at an angle whereby those driving south along Route 8 could glimpse the current fea ture for several seconds as they passed. I never attended the drive-in, but occasion ally I’d catch a snippet o f something as I drove by and wonder if they’d placed the screen like that hoping to lure customers. Debbie and I were three m onths into our marriage the night we came home late from a dinner party. We crested a small rise in the road and there, in front of us, on the Belleview’s huge screen was a woman performing an astonishing feat of fellatio on what I can only describe as an anatomical absurdity o f a man. W ithout a word, Debbie pulled onto the shoulder, hit the lights and cut the engine. Both o f us buzzing from too m uch wine, we sat watching while choirs o f roadside crick ets supplied a bizarre soundtrack. We were not a pornography-watching couple, so there was no precedent for what we were doing. The experience was outside the language o f our relationship and discussion would have been uncomfortable. Just as the woman was contorting herself into a position I wouldn’t have imagined possible, and the man, clearly undaunted, was making ready to assume a new series of in her midst — a tap on my window scared the hell out of me.

Honestly, I think they should be called Drive-Inns. But I’m not from this country, so what do I know. Few people own car where I come from, and few can afford to see a moving picture in a theater. Here in the United States of America, however, people drive their cars to see a movie but don’t even watch it. Instead, they do what the rest o f the world does at home in bed j You also watch television and movies in the very place where you should b having sex. You are driving me out of my m ind, especially you idiots who won’t take the stairs up to your office or homes but will pay to climb a Stairmaster after work. If I made a movie about your cul ture, nobody in my homeland would believe it. In fact, if I told them they had to watch the movie from a car, they would calf me a lunatic. And then if I suggested that they make love in the middle o f the movie in the backseat o f the car, they would send me to the madhouse. But that’s where I am anyway — trying to figure out which way is up or down, in or out. America drives me crazy. N A N C Y STE AR N S BER CAW

HOME “Turn here,” Steve said from the back seat. “T he drive-in.” “No shit?” I said. “No shit.” I pointed the car through the open gate o f the Rose Bowl theater, rolled past the unm anned ticket booth. I checked on Steve in the rear-view mirror. His heavy frame was pressed to the door. He looked absently out the window. It was all thick weeds and dust. Lean speaker stands stood erect, fanned before the giant screen like rows o f worshippers facing Mecca. The screen was covered with graffiti and ripped sporadically with long, diagonal stripes, like a sail after a bad storm. I had not been here since I was an antsy teenager, sweating with some lithe girl on some hot summer night. Popcorn, soda and endangered innocence — the whole bit. “This place sure has gone to pot,” Parker said. H e poked his head through the passenger window. “Somebody ought to buy this land and do som ething cool with it. Like build a bowling alley. Or, hell, I don’t know, a drive-in theater.” Steve chuckled disdainfully and shook his head. “There’s a reason this one closed. N obody left to come to it. No reason a new one’d do any better.”

LET’S G O ! “Yeah,” I'said. “No use trying.” I parked in front of the screen. Parker immediately bolted from the car and jum ped on the rotting wood stage, like an excitable dog eager to explore a new place. Steve climbed deliberately up the stairs and sat on the front, dangling his pink, hairless legs over the edge. I leaned on the car. A hot, clear Wednesday after noon, time to be working some where, yet here we were. I pulled three beers from the cooler in the back. Tossed one up to Steve. Parker made like a wide receiver racing down the sideline. I hit him in stride, but he dropped it. “Shit, shit, shit,” he said, chasing the can as it •rolled across the stage. Steve and I laughed. “Ever think about moving?” I said. “Going some where things are better?” Parker ran back toward us with the beer raised trium phantly in his hand. “W atch this,” he said, tipping back his head and popping open the can. Beer erupted into his face in a foamy wave and knocked him dra matically to the stage. H e spread his arms wide and played dead. We laughed again. “N ope,” Steve said. TOM G R E S H A M

A simmering licorice night. Cicada in crazy hum . D ad closes his news paper. M om scrapes macaroni and cheese. Kenny and I crawl into poplin pajamas; our skin sweat-sweet from labors of tree-fort building. We’ve given up on our airplane project: three pieces o f raw and fragrant plywood nailed together and heavily punctuated by an orphaned carbu retor. Its bulk is asleep in the basement. Kenny and I are not quite ready to abandon our parents for adventures abroad. Currently, we have chosen to embark upon our very own home in a backyard oak. We plank a branch with pieces o f discarded cardboard from a newly installed Amana somewhere down the block. O u r suste nance o f choice: grape ice-pops and Hostess cupcakes. Kenny licks the frosting. I get the white goo. T he cake we roll into turd shapes between our palms. I fall hard from the oak. Flat on my 7-year-old nose. Gouts o f blood follow. Kenny runs to get a roll o f toilet paper. H e’s only 5, but as smart as I am. Later, mosquitoes fill the car. Dad adjusts the speaker. Puts his arm around M om in the front seat. Kenny and I have a popcorn fight. Giggle like idiots. My father’s hand crashes into my face. Twice. He says I should know better than to drag my brother up so high into that tree. H e tells me if I had half a brain I’d be dangerous. Calm felt between exquisite pain and reason. So, I quietly unlock the door o f the Impala and squeeze my pajamaself out. Stars are grains o f salt. T he ground gravel beneath my bare feet. T he faces on the screen huge, looming. Kenny stays behind. I * really didn’t think he’d follow me.

PO SSIBLY , COLORADO I was running hard on the gravel, masticating the dis tance behind me until I ran evenly with the space between the cars o f the train. Allegro was behind me, although I was running too fast to turn around and see. He yelled something like, “Its now or never, Homey!” I jumped. T he spaces on the end o f the cars were a small flat patterned metal surrounded by rusty railings. I made the jum p, scrambled over the rail and fell onto the platform. My new home. I got up to watch Allegro do the same thing on the plat form o f the car across the coupling. He smiled crazy wide, got up to come across the coupling, over to my side. I held out my hand to help him. “It’s time to celebrate,” he said, and pulled a thick joint from his jacket pocket. “I’ve been saving this one, my friend,” he said as he crouched down to get it lit. To the right, the town we were passing glowed dimly on the horizon. Lit windows speckled buildings. Streetlights marked gridded streets. There was a drive-in movie screen aglow, defining the western edge o f the town, the edge we were passing. t T he screen blinked as trees erratically blocked the view. I saw a huge Julia Roberts. Pretty tail woman. I couldn’t see it, but I knew there were people watching her. People who had real lives do things like that; go to the drive-in. Families with roots and plans and values. Young people with hopes o f love fluttering in their hearts. People who are somewhere, who have solid senses of things. W ith the sm ooth m otion o f the train it all seemed to be slid ing past me, rather than the other way around. Allegro stood up, inhaled furiously on the joint, smiled wide, and handed it to me. Allegro and me, f thought, we were a different story. We were here, on this train, but really, we were nowhere. O u r lives were still hypothetical, our paths unde termined, our reasons unex plained. It was not now or never, like he had said, but a perfect com bination o f both. Limbo. I inhaled broadly on the joint, holding it in as far and as deeply as I could. This was a good ride I thought, but it was going to be cold that night, dam n cold. I had lost my jacket days ago. M IC H A E L J. N E D E L L

I manage to sleep two-and-ahalf to three hours most nights. If there’s a double-dou ble feature, I can even manage about six to seven hours, because I always fall asleep after the first movie. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve needed the flicker o f a screen to fall asleep by. The quick flashes o f light and dark as scenes change, as the settings move from interior to exterior, day to night, they are a lullaby; a celluloid cradle that rocks me to sleep. Prosper comes up to my apartm ent to watch the movies with me. Sometimes I wonder if it’s the screen he’s watching or the unfolding sto ries o f the people and cars parked below at the M idnight Sun Drive-In. O f course, we’re so close that we could tune the radio to pick up the audio, but I’ve been doing this so long that I can lip-read and, besides, the sound wouldn’t do Prosper any good. He can’t hear and I haven’t spoken to anyone since I was 7 years old, so we’re perfect for each other. O n screen, Ben Kingsley has just said to Kathleen Turner, “Regret is the only true failure.” I turn to Prosper and want to tell him why I haven’t said a word in 22 years. He turns to me, not as if he wants to say something, but as if he knew that I had something to say. “I can only sleep when the movies are playing.” I say it out loud. He can’t hear it, but he can read lips as well as I can. He nods. I look away before I start to cry. I haven’t cried in 22 years, either. Prosper leans over and offers me a piece o f cherry Red Vine licorice. I take it without look ing at him. He puts his hand on my shoulder and I wince from the pressure and warmth of another body touching mine. “D on’t,” I say and slide my body to the edge o f my chair as far as I can while still being able to balance myself w ithout falling. Prosper stands up, folds his chair and says, “I’m sorry” with half-closed eyes. He ' tucks the chair under his arm and goes back down to his apartm ent. Alone in my em pty bed room, with only my chair and soft, warm piece o f licorice, I fall asleep while Kathleen Turner cries.

that this information is posted online, but unless the person in question gives you directions to their site, you still have to be a real snoop to find it. Live Journal isn’t the only online diary service, but it’s one of the most popular. Launched in 1999, LJ now boasts three million accounts, though only roughly half of them are active. O ne reason for the site’s popularity is that it’s cheap — 97 percent choose the basic free service. But for just $2.50 a m onth, the tech-sawy can purchase additional layout features, access to the LJ database, and the ability to post to their journal via cellphone. And LJ is easy to use. Web newbies don’t have to learn complex com puter codes to create their sites. Customization is always an option, but beginners can simply choose from pre-packaged tem plates, fill out a profile and start posting. It’s a recipe for self-revelation that tor tured souls, particularly young women, find irresistible. Demographically speak ing, LJ users tend to be American females (65 percent) between the ages of 13 and 25. Shenna Smith-Connolly, one of Griffith’s twentysomething LJ friends who lives around the block, drops by during our interview. She speculates that most of the adults on LJ have office jobs — post ing can be a way to survive the boredom and absurdity o f work. “My friend said recently, ‘T he boss thinks the sound of typing is the sound o f working,”’ SmithConnolly says with a smirk. So much for Vermont work ethic. If you have a paid account, it’s possible to search for Live Journal users in Burlington t— more than 150 updated their journals in the past week. In the whole state, at

least 1000 users have posted this week, though there may be more: T he search gives only the first 1000 results to a Vermont query. Griffith, who spends half an hour to two hours a day on LJ, began her Live Journal on February 17, 2001, as a way to keep up with far-flung friends and family while she was in school at the University of Vermont. Since then, she’s written 2067 entries, all o f which can be viewed

Rouleau realized the woman was a cus tomer. It wasn’t long before Rouleau knew her on sight. “W hen she’d come into the store,” she says, “I’d always smile broadly at her, and think, ‘She must think I’m so weird.’” W hen the woman applied for a job at City Market, Rouleau knew she had to come clean. “I fretted about it a lot on my journal,” she recalls. “People said, ‘D on’t tell her! She’ll freak out!”’

Writing an online diary m ay so u n d counter intuitive — isn ’t the point to keep your m o st intimate thoughts se c re t? through the archives listed on her site. If„ you don’t know her, though, the experi ence o f reading them can be uncom fort ably voyeuristic. And boring. But finding Griffith’s journal — find ing anyone's Live Journal — is a challenge. T hat’s because Live Journal asks users to register under a pseudonym. So while any one can search the site by interest — you can easily find 50 random people who like tournam ent Scrabble — it’s tough to pin point th<|site w ritten by that fqte redhead three cubicles down. Griffith doesn’t care who reads her journal and happily reveals her username — though it’s probably unwise to encourage stalkers by printing it here. Becky Rouleau is more careful. T he 33year-old Live Journaler and head cashier at City M arket uses her journal to keep in touch with friends she’s made primarily online, most o f whom she’s never met. Her LJ user profile lists dozens o f people who automatically get an update whenev er she posts to her journal, and vice versa. Rouleau found these friends by searching for people with similar interests. She read their journals and “friended” her favorites. She also did the Live Journal version o f taking out a personals ad — joining LJ “comm unities” composed o f users looking to be friended. Rouleau says that through LJ she’s met people she admires and looks up to. “G etting to read about people’s mindsense has made me feel like less o f a freak,” she suggests. But Rouleau isn’t keen on anyone finding out where she lives. She doesn’t even list her city or state on her user profile, fearing that someone might connect the dots. “This is such a small state,” she says. She should know. A few m onths back, she started reading other Vermonters’ Live Journals, hoping she might find someone from her past with whom she could reconnect. Initially she was disappointed by what she read. “T he majority o f people I found were really wacky college stu dents, polyamorists or W iccans,” she says. “I don’t really relate to them .” But one woman stood out. “She seemed kinda like me, kinda norm al.” Rouleau started reading the woman’s journal regularly but never left any com ments, so the woman had no link to Rouleau’s journal. A nd she had no idea she was being watched. W hen she started writing about shopping at a co-op that sounded suspiciously like City M arket,

But the confession was easier than Rouleau had expected. “O ne day I said, ‘Hey, by the way, I have to confess some thing to you, ” she says of her co-worker. “And she was surprised. But now we’ve friended each other.” Rouleau says several other City Market employees maintain Live Journals. And, yes, they do vent about customers, and each other, online. But Rouleau says she’s careful to “lock” any entries about work so only terrain friends can read them. W hen she discusses union negotiations with fellow City Market LJers, she’s careful to lock them from an LJer in management. “We don’t have any secret plans,” she says. “I just don’t want to make him uncomfortable.” “Justine,” a twentysomething Burlington woman who did not reveal her name, takes precautions a step further. T hough she’s lived here for over a year, she hasn’t told any o f her Vermont friends about her Live Journal — not even her roommates. “I sit on the couch and write on my laptop, and they have no idea,” Justine says. But it’s not that she doesn’t tell them because she’s gossiping behind their backs. Mostly Justine just doesn’t want to discuss her unconventional hobby: she likes to read, write and critique “fan” or “slash” fiction — unauthorized stories, usually pornographic in nature, that revolve around fictional characters and celebrities. “It’s weird and kind o f geeky and embar rassing,” she says. Justine’s stories, which she posts to her journal, typically involve famous boyband stars, and characters from “T he West W ing” and the H arry Potter series — “not the kids,” she insists, “just the adults.” Recently she wrote a story in which Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, two char acters from the newly released film Harry Potter and The Prisoner o f Azkaban, become romantically involved. “It’s very implied in the books,” she says somewhat defensively. “Also in the movie.” T h a t’s just the kind o f shameful secret that people like Justine used to write in their diaries and keep to themselves. Now, thanks to the Internet, they can share their strange obsessions with a coterie of like-minded friends. In fact, an LJ interest search for “H arry Potter slash” turns up an astounding 500 users whose diaries beg for your attention. At least one o f these scribes lives in Burlington. Click on enough o f them and you m ight figure out which one. O r maybe you’d rather not. ®

he curtain has been raised a little early on Vermont’s summer theater season; scarcely two weeks after the college students were shooed away, independent productions and stage stalwarts are already taking bows. Perhaps Green M ountain thespians have gotten their acts together and vowed to rival the fecundity o f festivals. W hatever the reason, all the state’s a stage from now until foliage steals the show. Two gems in the Burlington area this m onth are Wayne M artens’ double bill of Chekhov one-acts at tfje FlynnSpace — Harmfulness o f Tobacco and Sw arlSong— and the St. Michael’s Playhouse season opener, Noel Coward’s Private Lives. These classic works could hardly be more differ ent, yet the two playwrights share what might inelegantly be called the gift of gab. In the case of Chekhov, it’s an incessant monologue: Harmfulness o f Tobacco is a solo performance, and Swan Song is nearly so — a second actor shares the stage with Martens only for a short while and doesn’t say much. A professional producer, direc tor and Equity Actor originally from the D etroit area, M artens recently retired to Vermont and performed in a Stowe Theater Guild production o f The Fantasticks. T he Chekhov evening, which he is staging as a benefit for Burlington’s Catalyst Theater Company, marks his first dramatic appearance in the Queen City. O ne hopes it will not be his last; the man takes to the stage like an otter to water, and just as energetically. In publici ty materials, M artens explains that he first performed both these short plays more than 40 years ago. Now 68, M artens is the same age as both his characters. It adds to the realism that he doesn’t have to wear a wig, put on aging makeup and pretend to be over the hill. W ith thinning hair, bristly eyebrows and a mostly white beard, M artens certainly looks the part — but his range o f emotion goes well beyond G rum py O ld Man. His two characters are opposites in one sense: in Harmfulness o f Tobacco he plays a henpecked instructor in his wife’s music school, seething with barely contained resentment that he’s wasted his life mar ried to a shrew; in Swan Song, he’s a oncegreat stage actor nearing the end o f his career and lamenting that he never had a wife and family. Each in his own way, the men are losers — lonely, distraught and unfulfilled. It is to Chekhov’s, and M artens’, credit that they can also be funny at times, and that they win our sympathy even at their most pathetic.

The conceit o f Harmfulness is that the unnam ed character is delivering a lecture about the evils of smoking — at his wife’s insistence — to us, the unidentified audi ence. But, like a defiant child, he sneaks off-topic as soon as he thinks the battleaxe has left the building, letting us know that he himself sm okes... “and that is probably the reason my wife suggested that I speak today on the dangers of tobacco, and so there’s really nothing more to be said. Is there?” In fact the addled lecturer, dressed for mally in cravat and coattails, wanders so often that the entire “lecture” is a tangle of tangents that go nowhere — except to the heart o f his torm ent. This is not about tobacco at all, we soon realize; it is about the man’s contem pt for his dom inating wife and seven daughters, and for himself at being a used and beaten man. Alone on a prop-free stage, M artens allows this anger to erupt in futile sputters and nerv ous tics, while sharing funny-on-the-surface anecdotes from his sorry life. It’s a thoroughly engaging performance. The same can be said for his raging actor, Vassily, in Swan Song. Chekhov penned both these tragi-comedies long before the word bipolar came into vogue, but the roles demand a full spectrum of emotional expres sion, which sometimes switches from manic glee to utter despair in a single line. The broad “vocabulary” of Martens’ face, body and voice is up to the challenge; he comes unglued before our very eyes, pulls himself together, crashes again. Swan Song is a darker play than Harmfulness, both emotionally and literal ly. Vassily is abandoned in an empty the ater, drunk and passed out, after everyone has gone home following a cast party. H e’s alone except for the prompter, Nikita, who’s eventually wakened from his slum ber in the dressing room by Vassily’s th u n derous soliloquy on the stage. Here the “set” consists only o f a couple chairs, and the lighting is appropriately dim. Played with nearly wordless eloquence by Michael Boland, Nikita listens, blearyeyed, as the old actor recounts scenes from his life, his plays, his affairs and his final, desperate emptiness — the one woman he truly loved rejected his lifestyle. “W hat I hadn’t realized was that a woman could be madly in love with an actor, but to marry one? N ot on your life,” Vassily tells Nikita morosely. “There were other women, many other women, but it didn’t matter. It was never the same. I never loved again... I just frittered my life away.”

The sn appy patter in Private Lives c o m e s on so fast, repeated viewings m ay be n e ce ssa ry to catch all the bon m ots. ly the play is a rather severe cautionary tale about finding balance in one’s life — between labor and love, self and other, shallowness and depth.

Some would say Noel Coward was all

about shallow, and there’s tru th in that. But in a good way; the British playwright, actor and songwriter penned dozens o f plays about the vapid, self-indulgent upper crust, to the delight — and some times shock — o f audiences on both sides of the pond. T hough his best works were arguably w ritten pre-World War II, fre quent revivals over the decades since have proved the timeless appeal o f stylish sophisticates, clever repartee and wicked humor. The St. M ichael’s Playhouse produc tion of Private Lives is a case in point. The 1930 comedy in three acts features two couples — Elyot and Sibyl Chase, and Victor and Amanda Prynne — who bum p into each other on the eve o f th e ir respec tive honeymoons at a French seaside

hotel. T h at is, Elyot and Am anda do, awkwardly, then angrily, and then ardent ly. T he tw6 used to be married to each other, but the heat o f their quarrels finally trum ped their passion, and they divorced. Elyot, played w ith acerbic cool by Bradford Cover, has already castigated his young, shrill wife by the time he lays eyes on his ex and falls for her all over again. Sarah Carleton absolutely becomes Amanda, clearly having a ball with this flamboyant, free-spirited role. Amanda is by turns alluring, devil-may-care irrespon sible, and rip-roaring mad. At all times, however, she and Elyot are devastatingly witty. T he snappy patter in Private Lives comes on so fast, repeated viewings may be necessary to catch all the bon mots. W ith unfettered selfishness, the two decide to zip off to Paris together, leaving

ing spent an amorous few days rekindling the old relationship. But theirs is a flame that flares quickly out o f control, and the couple invents a word — “Sollocks!” — to signal a cease-fire whenever an insult or accusation slips out. But even witty dia logue has its limits, and in no time at all the fists begin to fly. Director Clark gets credit for staging a convincing fight — not an easy task in live theater. Carleton and Cover literally throw themselves into m utual knock-down-drag-out domestic abuse, destroying a few o f scenic designer John Paul Devlin’s period props along the way. By the time poor Sibyl and Victor inexplicably show up to vent their consid erable outrage, the apartm ent is in a shambles and their errant spouses are bruised and barely speaking. They are also totally unrepentant, which further incens es the cuckolded partners. Coward’s dia logue in Act III is particularly acidic, espe cially when Sibyl and Victor finally join in the word-play fray. M arianna Bassham’s Sybil is at first annoyingly petu lant — and her English accent not quite right — but by the end the actress summons the inner strength o f a woman wronged, and Sibyl holds her own in a lam basting squabble with Victor. James Michael Reilly hilariously captures both the principled English gentle man and the huffy, self-right eous prig in Victor. And though her walk-on scenes are as skimpy as her skirt — and her few lines en frangais — Haley Rice’s French m aid-with-attitude is delightfully insouciant and sexy. The rich, o f course, m ust be clad in fabulous clothes, and costume designer Jenny Fulton has obliged, particularly with the glamorous gowns and sparkly jewels worn by Carleton. A nd Carleton wears them with don’t-hate-me-becauseI’m-beautiftil aplomb. Devlin’s seaside ter races are serviceable — and suitably “sunny” with the help o f Karen Perlow’s lighting — but his cozy, vintage Paris apartm ent is tres magnifique. M ust be a bum m er to lose so many props every night, though. W h at’s not a bum m er is the scintillat ing language — why don’t characters talk like this anymore? — and the high quality o f sum m er theater in Vermont, so far. ®

Her paying clients now include a company seeking to expand Vermont’s only currently operating commercial generator o f wind power. Vissering is also working with a town that’s trying to decide whether to oppose a generator proposed w ithin its borders. Are wind turbines beautiful? Before she answers the question, Vissering stresses w hat ought to be an obvious point: that a beautiful thing in the wrong place is an abomination. “You wouldn’t want to see the Vermont Statehouse on top o f Cam els H um p,” she suggests.

there, even though Vermont is trying to figure out how to meet the states official goal: to meet 5 percent o f its energy needs by harnessing the wind. Engineers and economists say wind turbines in Vermont need to be sited at elevations between 2500 and 3500 feet, and on ridges broad enough to support multiple towers. T hat rules out Camel’s H um p (elevation 4083 feet), as well as M ount Ascutney (elevation 3150 feet, but too pointy). The best location would be relatively flat — like the Acropolis. Accordingly, Vissering references classical notions of beauty as she conjures a picture of wind turbines that delight rather than annoy. “There’s some thing very clear and positive about those sleek, white columns,” she asserts — some thing that would justify regarding properly sited wind-power facilities as “Greek tem ples to the gods o f wind.” Vissering is not the only design profes sional in Vermont who finds artistic virtue in these outsized propellers. “W hat’s really kind o f mesmerizing is the movement,” insists D onna Leban, a South Burlington architect and president o f the Vermont chapter o f the American Institute o f Architects (ALA). “It kind o f takes you away from your everyday thinking.” Leban, whose usual specialty is lighting

The

design, has staked her presidency on wind. Soon after taking office last year, she ral lied the Vermont AIA chapter to conduct what am ounts to a statewide discussion o f aesthetics. T he move came at the request of Congressman Bernie Sanders, who was seeking to resolve a dilemma m any o f Vermont’s alternative-energy enthusiasts face: how to reconcile the lure o f wind as one o f the most renewable energy resources with the obvious visual changes wind turbines bring to the natural envi ronment. T he very environm ent, ironical ly, that renewable-energy advocates are trying to save. W hat emerged was an official state m ent Leban read at a news conference

Gibraltar, standing like sentinels against a sharp blue sky and the not-so-distant African continent — a landscape rich with symbolism as well as splendor. Back on this side o f the Atlantic, many architectural symbols have arisen out o f efforts to address the economic challenges o f their time, and with the technology then available. T hink lighthouses and gristmills, and, for that matter, rural windmills. Even the classic New England connected farmhouse was an ingenious effort to save energy by eliminating the need to walk outside to get to the barn or the outhouse in winter. W ind-farm opponents point out that even lighthouses do not rise to 330 feet.

Wind turbines are beautiful for the s a m e reason that Alexander Calder’s m obiles are. Sanders called in M arch. “We all know that beauty is in the eye o f the behold er,” she declared. “C an w ind turbines lined up on a ridge be beautiful? M any people, including m any architects, think so. Calling for the aesthetic questions to be “placed in the larger context o f our lim it ed choices for energy to fuel our modern lifestyles,” Laban singled out for praise Vermont’s only wind-power facility cur rently producing electricity for public dis tribution: the 11 turbines Green ? M ountain Power placed on a ridgeline in Searsburg. The wind farm is visible from Route 9 as one heads east out o f Bennington. “I look at the Searsburg wind farm not only with adm iration o f the ele gant fprms set in nature, but with great hope for our future and that o f genera tions to come,” Laban said. Opponents o f wind power will find lit tle comfort in the larger world o f architec ture, where fame and Ph.D.s can depend on an ability to pontificate about aesthetics. For example, the prestigious Spanish archi tecture journal 2G recently devoted an entire issue to “Architecture and Energy.” The lead article, by Professor Michael Jakob of the Geneva University Institute of Architecture, refers to a “new visibility,” the idea of “electricity as text” and power facili ties becoming “unassimilated signs o f the m odern... as diffuse components o f an unstable, deficient system.” Translation: In the digital age, electrici ty is more essential than ever, and it is artistically appropriate to force people to confront the reality o f energy production. W ind turbines are beautiful for the same reason that Alexander Calder’s mobiles are. Unlike essentially all other hum an-built objects attached to the earth, wind tur bines are in m otion, and the movement is a direct reflection o f a natural force. Jakob sees moral as well as artistic virtue here, contrasting this reality with Chernobyl. T hat Soviet nuclear behe m oth, far removed from the consumers o f its energy, was ultimately “the tragic emblem o f an absolute invisibility that has now become impossible,” as Jakob puts it. Come to think o f it, Vermont Yankee is invisible from 1-91, too. W hether or not you buy 2 G s semiotic thesis, it’s difficult to argue with its arrest ing photographs o f the wind farm in Tarifa, in the Cadiz province o f Spain. These turbines overlook the Strait o f

T h at’s the height — measured from the ground to the apex o f each rotating blade — o f the turbines Central Vermont Public Service Corporation hopes to build on Glebe M ountain in Londonderry. And that’s more than 100 feet taller than the turbines in Searsburg. A forceful rebuttal comes from Keith Dewey o f Weston, an architect who spe cializes in sustainable buildings. “If there’s no frame o f reference as to scale,” he argues, “the hum an m ind doesn’t make a good connection to what the height really is.” This is why they told him in architec ture school to put hum an figures in his renderings, Dewey says, and why he con tends that no One will much care how tall wind turbines really are. Dewey doesn’t count any wind farmers among his clients, but he’s nevertheless so impassioned about wind power that he founded an informal group called Fair. W ind Vermont to argue with project opponents. These he dismisses as “wellfunded aristocrats” who want nothing but nature to be visible from their patios. Dewey and other Vermont architects helped fend off legislative efforts earlier this year to impose a m oratorium on wind-energy projects. “I love to look at modern windmills,” Dewey proclaims. W hen he does, he thinks about his two kids, ages 14 and 16, and the image o f them being drafted someday to fight wars over M iddle East oil. He compares that image with the “simple, clean and graceful form and kinetic movement” o f the wind farms, whose sleek, three-bladed, shape is the one that works best technologically. Apart from symbolism and iconogra phy, what makes a work o f architecture appealing is the play between unity and variety. T h ink o f Moshe Safdie’s famous H abitat housing complex in M ontreal — the uniform ity o f concrete boxes and the delightfulness o f their seemingly haphaz ard arrangement. Consider, too, a field of daisies. W hat makes the tension between unity and variety compelling is that it is borrowed from nature. Visually speaking — and assuming Dewey is right about scale — turbines along a ridgeline are not unlike flowers on a hillside. T h at will not appease anyone who wants to gaze only upon real flowers. But it’s possible that what some view today as “ridgeline blight” will be seen as truly memorable architecture in the future. ®

Junk Toys IM A G E

Paula R outly

In the jam of congested alleys and on the paths in remote bush lands I noticed A frican children race hom e-built toys. Push-toys w ith long handles for steering made from bleach and detergent bottles, indestructible for use or as refuse, ingeniously cut and hinged to im ita te long-haul freighters, or piped w ith windows like the high-wheeled overland buses. A ll rode wooden or plastic cap wheels of disproportionate size like the real w hich must straddle and overcome the swamps and ranges called roads. Some to y buses for market, made of wood scraps, wire for working springs, and pounded out in tin can sides cut and painted the w hite and blue of the na tion al transport company, reminded me of our local failing general store where the on ly work the husband performed was cu ttin g and carving models, from busted n a il kegs, fr u it crates, cigar boxes, of carriages and wagons such as his elders employed. Sometimes he would place them out on garden poles to no known end bu t ruin. Mostly he hung them about the store for outsiders. He would p o in t to them as his industry, ta lk of sales, and overprice them for our longing. Such fid e lity fo r tourists rules south of here in dusty alleys and under dry-wash bridges and the porticos and plazas of colonial bomas, as bicycles and tricycles and wagons and oxen take form from cast o ff wire in the hands of practiced street children. Hand-held perfection in shape and workings, souvenirs b u t seldom toys. But in th is land, country or city, children trundled th e ir caravans of recycled workaday goods made tru ly plastic, form, and form of, play. LELAND KINSEY

Paula Routly’s June 16 column [“State o f the Arts”] inadver tently gave your readership the impression that filmmaking in Vermont has been depressed. W hile it is true Vermont has not recently hosted lavishly budgeted films such as M e M yself & Irene (1999) and W hat Lies Beneath (1999), out-ofstate spending on media pro duction in Vermont has increased impressively in the last two years: 22 feature films, 11 commercials, 35 T V produc tions and 12 still shoots have pum ped over $15 million into our local economy. By definition the independ ent filmmaker will always be outside the mainstream. The filmmakers quoted were being their modest selves. Vermont’s indomitable indie filmmakers have achieved recognition and succession that is not always defined by dollars. John O ’Brien’s film Nosey Parker has been chosen as an “official entry” at some o f the most pres tigious film festivals across the country and played in theaters up and down the Eastern seaboard. Nora Jacobson’s film N othing Like Dreaming screened at the IFP Market in New York, the Lake Placid Film Festival and the Green M ountain Film Festival — all this and the film isn’t even fully completed! David Giancola produces films that he controls creatively and financially. He must be doing something right, since he’s able to continue doing what he loves while keeping Edge wood Studios and his great produc tion team afloat! Yes, filmmaking is a “slog,” but the ingeniousness of Vermont’s filmmakers will always trum p, energizing the rest o f us when they “make it in Vermont.” D a n is R eg a l MONTPELIER

Your recent article about the state o f Burlington’s hip-hop scene [“Gim m e a Break,” June 9] left me with a bad taste in my m outh. As an individual who prides myself on my attem pts to prom ote the talent and culture that does indeed exists here in the Green M ountains, I felt that Mr. Covey’s evaluation o f the “scene” being noticeably lacking “a pulse” seemed predeter mined. I say this based on a few fac tors: O ne being that he chose to venture out on a Wednesday night, one week after gradua tion and moving day. Tough

luck and bad tim ing on those two counts. Two, although he perceived there to be “no less than five M C and DJ events” of hip-hop origin happening that night, the reality was that there were actually only two true hip-hop events (the M C battle at M illennium — its first night ever — and DJ Kwik at Rasputin’s). The other nights were misconceived by Mr. Covey and were actually: a mash-up party, a downtempo night and a weekly ’80s dance party. It seemed unfortunate to me that Mr. Covey went out in search of an ideal. (Unable to locate his “solid night o f beats and flows,” he noted that he simply would have settled for “a few choice couplets about Cristal and Chryslers”). I would like to apologize to Mr. Covey and invite him and anyone else who yearns for some poetic culture to join us (3 the Hard Way) at Red Square on any Thursday night; or to enjoy a DJ spinning hiphop (DJ A-Dog — a national talent in our own little state) any Friday night at The Waiting Room; and even to come relax to DJ Nastee spin ning soul (the roots o f today’s hip-hop) at Red Square any Sunday night. To understand the present and be able to see the future, you must embrace the past.,.. n n ljr K yle T h o m p so n , a .k .a . F a ttie B. BURLINGTON

I enjoyed the “State o f the Arts” coverage [June 16] and all, though, big problem with the “gonna get a M 16... if bush re-elected,” that was taken completely out o f context... and besides it was “elected,” years ago. I was interested in finding out more about the Bush folks and their violence and their guns... certainly no interest in killing anybody. In fact, check out a recent poster I did for hunting season last fall at www.redrat.net/thoughts/ guns/no_killing/. As it turned out my interest in coming to terms with the contradictions inherent in such power certainly familiarized me with what I have lived with for the last years with Bush... and that is war... and that is weapons and more weapons in our faces, on the streets, on the TV, in the movies and on and on. There seem to be nothing but those black rifles. So I have set out to try to make them ridiculous and as stupid as the white men with them ... No killing. I hope this clarification may allay the fears o f the Secret Service or the FBI. I certainly hope the article doesn’t create any problems. J o h n D ou glas CHARLOTTE

LOVE*TRUTH*HONOR *MORALS (Source Unknown VT, CD) White the local hip-hop scene is still in its infancy, most of the MCs who have unleashed recordings settle into either a "party-rap" or hardcore hip-hop category. MC Forest, an up-and-coming hip-hopper, strays away from more popular trends, con centrating instead on a lo-fi, "indie-hop" sound. The twisted melodies, kitchen-sink beats and Forest's slack flow point to the influence of Cali avant-hip-hop collective Anticon. And like those smarty-pants white boys, Forest creates music that breaks as

To his credit, the music — though clearly good and loud when recorded — is clean and de-fuzzed for home listening pleasure. Even so, the band's energy is obvious; you can hear the players heating up as the disc progresses. Branca will be performing this week at Ri Ra's, at the Green Mountain Chew Chew on the Burlington Waterfront, and at Nectar's for Tuesday blues night. See, and hear, for yourself.

ine years before the youthful Rem brandt produced his first self-por trait, a 90-year-old Italian painter cre ated her last. Sofonisba Anguissola is all but forgotten today, but she was considered one o f the most im portant portraitists o f her era. She began to hone her skills through self-portraits as early as 1554. Skill-honing is still one o f the main reasons artists use themselves as sub jects — even if they don’t interpret the subject literally. W hether or not they’ve ever heard o f Anguissola, the 27 artists represented in “Me Myself & I: portraits o f ourselves” at the Flynndog are part o f her legacy. Brian O ’Neill’s five oils portray him assiduously studying his own large eyes.. O ’Neill wears a plaid shirt in three o f th e pieces. H e’s looking down on himself, because the m irror he’s viewing is probably higher than his easel. In the painting furthest right, O ’Neill doesn’t pose with palette in hand; this portrait seems more selfassured, as he greets the viewer fullfaced from the canvas. Gary Kowalski s “Q uick Pastel” also has the air o f a study, but it’s a nicely drawn portrait. Perhaps Kowalski turned his attention inward as an alter native to doing a still life. “Q uick Pastel” has the volume o f a piece taken directly from a mirror rather than from a photograph. T h a t is, he suc cessfully transmits the planes, propor tions and tones o f his face while m od ulating background values. In a 1555 m iniature self-portrait by Anguissola, she holds a Latin medal lion that reads, “T he maiden Sofonisba Anguissola, depicted by her own hand, from a mirror, at C rem ona.” T he artist statem ent

accompanying Ann Laberge’s “Cubist Self Portrait” says in part, “You can’t see me, hell I can’t see m e.” Laberge’s self-portrait is a collection o f about three dozen small mirrors in an ornate frame. Viewers who look into the work can see how their own fractured face would appear in paint. M any modern self-portraits, includ ing most of the works at the Flynndog, were produced w ithout the assistance of a mirror. Rose M cNulty’s “I T hought I’d Find You Here” and Jeff Clark’s self-portrait with five ancestors are photographic works. M cNulty’s contribution is a set o f six cyanotype blueprints o f floral forms, framed together, with smaller nudes o f the

elements: A mask-like form o f woven straw (with no facial features) is m ounted on the wall; beneath is a book o f straw enclosing three child hood photographs. They seem to show H orner and her siblings, and they’re somewhat faded, as memories often are. A child traced the life-sized outline drawing o f Susan Smereka on translu cent paper, and Smereka layered it over a mixed-media impression o f what seems to represent her inner form. Seven circles, perhaps indicating the chakras o f H induism , can be discerned beneath the exterior outline drawing. T he circles have traditional chakra col ors associated with them, yet there is

also a cryptic yellow-orange oval on the right side o f the figure. Smereka does not reveal what this represents, but hers is certainly an intensely per sonal portrait. Anguissola is a perfect example o f a Renaissance wom an artist who was famous in her lifetime but snubbed by art history. Yet her gaze remained vibrant and confident through the decades o f her life and the centuries that followed. She surely knew, as the Flynndog artists must, that a truthful self-portrait inevitably outlives the self. ® ' '...XT

f Steven Spielberg’s latest made you feel any better, you can be sure someone in the Bush administration would try to pass a law against it. A more life-affirming celebration o f hum ankind’s inherent goodness hasn’t blazed across a movie screen since the days when guys like Jimmy Stewart did their thing for guys like Frank Capra. But, as uplifting and warmhearted as the whole business is, there’s a sad, dark side to it, too. Because the Capraesque quality o f The Terminal is neither accident nor tribute. It is Spielberg’s response to the horror o f these times, and his acknowledg m ent o f the duty he’s come to believe an artist has to his public during war time. “I wanted to do a movie that could make you laugh and cry and feel good about the w orld,’’ the director has explained to the media. “This is a time when we need to smile more, and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult tim es.” In this respect, The Terminal comprises the latest work in a cycle that began with the W W II dramas Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, continued with the H B O miniseries Band o f Brothers (which Spielberg coproduced with Tom Hanks), and includes The Pacific War, another W W II production for cable the two currently have in development. In the past, Spielberg has told war stories. W ith his lat est Film, he’s told the sort o f story that helped previous generations get through wars. Hanks teams up with the director for the third time on screen in the role o f Viktor Navorski, an Eastern European whose country disintegrates in a violent coup just as his plane touches down on U.S. soil. Armed with only a few words o f English and a Planters Peanuts can (the contents o f which come into play in the film’s later innings), he’s ill-equipped to deal with the Kafkaesque bugaboo into which fate has thrust him. He is informed by JFK ’s customs and immigrations chief (Stanley Tucci) that, as his hom eland no longer exists, his passport is no ~ longer valid. U.S. law will not perm it him to enter the country. At the same time, the country from which he’s come has sealed its borders. V iktor’s in bureaucratic limbo and is

forced to confine himself to the airport’s international transit lounge while the snafu is sorted out. O f course, like most bureaucratic snafus, it is not sort ed out as swiftly nor as efficiently as it might be. Viktor’s mission requires him to visit New York City, and the rea son for the visit is so im portant to him that he’s willing to wait as long as it takes to make the trip and make it w ith out breaking American law. As the days stretch into m onths, Hanks’ character patiently adapts to his environment. He learns English by reading T V news network crawls, subsists by returning luggage carts to their racks for the 2 5-cent reward, bathes in the men’s room, and doesn’t stay a stranger in a strange land for long. In short order, he’s befriended an engaging collection o f terminal regulars, which includes a food-serv ice employee (Diego Luna), an INS official with whom Luna is sm itten (Zoe Saldana), and a janitor (Kumar Pallanatucci), whose greatest joy in life seems to be wash ing floors and then watching as passengers ignore his yel low warning cones and wind up airborne before they ever make it to a plane. T he displaced traveler’s relationships with these people, and his experience o f America via the microcosm o f the airport mall, make for a sweedy comic fable that embraces the universal in the seemingly alien. Hanks creates one o f the most memorable characters in his considerable career. There’s a Chaplinesque quality to Viktor, and neither his accent nor his cluelessness are played for easy laughs — though The Terminal easily has more laughs than Hanks’ and Spielberg’s most recent comedies combined ( The Lady killers, Catch M e I f You Can, respectively). T he picture’s an unapologetic crowd-pleaser. At the same time, a surreal streak runs through it. T hat streak can be traced to the writer Andrew Niccol, who came up with the idea on which this film is based and also wrote The Truman Show. So, is this Spielberg movie in top form? W ill it rank with the director’s best? I’m not sure. Probably not. It’s a film that fits the times perfectly, though. It may not be great, but you’re guaranteed to feel great walking out the theater door. ®

Paying the Price

n era has passed: We can no longer use the term “cheap seats” when referring to the Ethan Allen Cinema in Burlington. A few weeks ago, the theater switched over to a first-run policy. Tickets now cost more there, albeit a bit less than for the same new releases at other movie houses in the area. But in a world where nothing nice seems to last, local folks cant catch a flick for pocket change any more — unless this is just a passing fancy. “I guess it’s permanent,” says Merrill Jarvis III, whose family business oper ates the four-screen North Avenue venue along with three others in

Donald Rumsfeld is seen denouncing Al Jazeera for what he deems propaganda — such as images of dead Iraqi children. Chittenden County. “A lot of people are telling me they miss the old prices, though.” The reason for this change, he adds, is that “other theaters are keeping their new films so much longer that there’s no life left in them.” Could the Ethan Allen upgrade also be compensation for a potential scenario of fewer first-run screens? After all,

Merrill’s Showcase in South Burlington might go musical as the Higher Ground replacement venue. “It’s looking very good,” Jarvis acknowledges. “But, hey, we just opened another cinema down the street.” That would be the Majestic 10 at Williston’s Maple Tree Place, which from the Showcase is actually a bit of a hike.

continues to attract really edgy and thought-provoking films from outside the mainstream. On July 2 the Queen City’s downtown Roxy will open C ontrol Room , which was recently in Waitsfield for one night only. To examine conflicting perspectives on the invasion of Iraq, EgyptianAmerican filmmaker Jehane Noujaim became a fly on the wall at two key Qatar sites: the U.S. military’s media center and Al Jazeera’s newsroom. An apparently decent young press officer named Josh represents the American armed forces. He defends the Pentagon party line, yet displays sensi tivity toward unfamiliar cultures. The satellite channel, which has 40 million viewers, shows war damage that CNN, NBC and BBC often overlook. At one point, a distraught Baghdad woman standing in front of a bombedout building screams: “Welcome to my house, Bush. Where is your humanity? Where is your conscience? Where is your God?”

Donald Rumsfeld is seen denouncing Al Jazeera for what he deems propagan da — such as images of dead Iraqi chil dren. When Saddam loyalists release footage of U.S. soldiers in captivity, our irritable Secretary of Defense calls it “a violation of the Geneva Conventions.” That’s a chilling statement in light of subsequent revelations about torture at the Abu Ghraib prison. The same goes for Dubya’s comments as TV cameras roll: “I expect our POWs to be treated humanely, just like we’re treating the prisoners that we have captured humanely.” Al Jazeera journalists appear philo sophical. One even observes “the Arab world blames everything on Israel, instead of our own incompetence.” But he also ridicules the Shock-and-Awe approach to uncooperative Middle Eastern countries: “Democratize or I’ll shoot you!”

To h elp in flu e n c e th e p r e sid e n tia l

election, Art Bell just shot a 30-second ad aimed at the current occupant of the White House. It’s among three short projects that the Burlington digitalvideo auteur tackled while studying 16mm techniques at the Maine Workshops in Rockport a few weeks ago. His premise is “a takeoff on the old

egg/this is your brain,” a commercial that discouraged drug abuse. Via email, Bell describes the piece with an insider’s visual shorthand: “Opening shot, early a.m. Guy walks into a kitchen. Takes eggs out of the fridge. Turns on stove. Big black fry pan sizzling. Reaches for perfect egg. Override: THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY. Low shot up: Egg gets cracked. In slomo we see it falling to the fry pan directly below. Amazingly, it misses... Splats on floor. Overtitle: THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY O N BUSH. Guy cleaning up mess. Cut to black. Then slam edits. D O N ’T D O BUSH.” He now plans to show it to “the Dean team, as they have expressed some interest.” Bell has the requisite connec tions since making a persuasive promo tional documentary about the former Vermont governor before the infamous Iowa scream unraveled his candidacy. One of Bell’s other Maine efforts is a brief homage to The Night o f the Hunter, a 1955 classic written by James Agee. In the original, Robert Mitchum portrays a psychopathic preacher, described by critic Pauline Kael as a “murderous, sex-obsessed, hymn-singing soul-saver with hypnotic powers.” We can only imagine what sinister tribute Bell hath wrought. ®

n s e lo r Dear Lola, My boyfriend and I recently heard about a nightclub act in which the performer takes a piece of paper, puts it in a place where the sun doesn't shine, wiggles around and pulls out a perfectly folded origami crane. Cute trick, and it got us talking about fisting. He wants me to try it on him. I'm scared and totally freaked out. Is there any way that this can be a safe sexual practice? Should I up and do it, or just say no? Squeamish in Swanton Dear Squeamish, I'll back into my answer and start with your ending — you're never required to do anything that makes you feel "scared and totally freaked out." I f your boyfriend understands this and pres sures you anyway, you need to find a new boyfriend. As for fisting itself, if it's not done with care, fisting can cause internal damage.

HOW DO YOU DO? Chaplin's my name and easy-going love is my game! I can be as goofy as the guy I'm named after. I am a 4- to 5-year-old neutered male white and tiger medium-haired cat. I am a hand some, friendly, and easy-going fellow who is social, but indepen dent, affectionate, but not needy. I'm a confident boy who really loves to play! I hear that I'm a hoot to watch and will regale you with fun antics while I play. One thing I enjoy among all the great cat toys out there is a laser light. I go gaga for toys, and I also really love people! You'll notice I've been shaved down the sides and I realize now that I may have made a slight hairstyle mistake, but don't worry, I plan on growing it out. If you are looking for a sweet kitty to keep you company, I may be the fun-loving guy you've been looking for!

auto motives

C R U IS IN G WITH A CAR CRITIC

Agree to Disagree n one side stand Assenters who agree that BMW’s entirely re-designed 2004 5-Series mid-size sedan is a lovely and logical evolution of a car that defines auto motive luxury. On the other side are Dissenters who deplore the artsy-techie liberties that BMW has taken with what isn’t, to them, just a car but an icon verging towards sacramental status. Since the 5-Series’ debut in the early ’70s, there has been something timeless about its angular styling. A certain repressed aggres siveness underlays those edgy corners and subtly slant ing fender lines. Today, those lines are softer, more gently curved. There is something faintly zoomorphic about the new 5-Series, as if the spirit of some highperformance animal lurked behind eyebrowed head lamps and under a flowing sheetmetal pelt. The personality of the 2004 530i is elegant and detached. A drive down the street is like a royal progress, with the winking turn-signals standing for that little flicker of an upraised, cupped right hand meant to wave at the passing plebs. The ride and feel of the 530i is gentle, pampering and decidedly polite. Its 3 .-0-liter six-cylinder motor boasts the quietness of an inline layout; the efficiency of twin-cam and variable valve timing architecture; and the unremarkable, yet ample output of 225 horsepower and 214 ft.-lbs. of torque. A six-speed manual in place of the five-speed auto matic lends an aura of sportiness, but shift feel is too gende, sometimes even ambiguous for athletic backroad strafes. And yet, the 530i retains BMW’s signature tal ents in ride and handling. The company’s distinctive approach to four-wheel independent suspension creates resolute road-holding, and refinements like dynamic stability control, active roll stabilization and anti-lock braking with computer assist manage to anticipate unpredictable events like wheelspin and slides, then cor rect for them almost invisibly. Road feel is distinctly softer, plusher than tradi tionalists remember. Optional “active steering,” more over, is an uncanny, initially distracting feature.

2004 BMW 5301;

5-pass., 4-door; RWD, 3.0 -lite r D0HC inline-6 w / VAN0S, 225 hp/214 ft.-lb s .; 6-sp. manual;

According to speed, active steering alters both boost and steering rate so that slow-speed turns in a parking lot are lightning quick, high-speed corners in the countryside are race-car solid. If you’ve got years of driving experience behind you, however, it might come as an initial surprise to experience the former when you’re expecting the latter; and it takes a day or two to comes to terms with this smarty-pants scheme. More than a few days, on the other hand, are~ required to master BMW’s controversial iDrive cabin-electronics system. This “integrated manage ment system” coordinates entertainment, information, navigation and communications functions through screen menus and a “mouse” wheel. It’s a tax on the attention span; and it won’t improve further, I suspect, until seeing and touching are both consolidated into a single display or control panel. What the Assenters admire in the 5-Series’ gadgety complexity, the Dissenters deplore. To some degree, you have to credit the Dissenters’ concerns. When I parked on one occasion and attempted to raise the front passenger window with a “one-touch” door but ton, it raised half-way, then reversed direction — about 30 times!
