questio

If you could give the country a birthday present, what would it be?

PARTISAN B R O W N - N O S I N G After reading Inside Track [June 19], I couldn't help but laugh at Freyne's opining about renaming North Beach. Sometimes I get the impression that when he writes his final draft for publication Freyne is half in the bag, so to speak, t What Freyne fails to address is that the public had nothing to do with this escapade, the "little guy" that he claims Bernie never forgot. What was going on was the Progressives' attempt at building their own pyramids here in Burlington. They have become a mutual admiration society, smug and contented with themselves, impressed with their own spin on things, and in realityhave become the party of shopping on Church Street and maintaining the status quo. I know of no one who wanted to rename North Beach; in fact, at our Ward 2/Ward 3 NPA meeting a wisecrack was made about not renaming N. Winooski Ave. after Bernie. The impression I got coming away from that meeting is that there is a deep distrust of city government, perhaps rightly so. City Council has proven itself to be interested in what it wants and not too concerned with anyone who objects with their view of things. This latest exhibition of partisan brown-nosing is just another specimen of the disconnect between the council and the public. There is nothing "pro-

gressive" about elitist shopping, the lack of real wage jobs, the feudal landlord culture here in town or empty talk of a "vibrant" downtown. Downtown is great and "vibrant" only if you can afford to shop or eat there. Otherwise it's just more hypocrisy from a political party that used to have relevance and now only strikes poses. — Russell V. Paul Burlington RACINE WILLING T O LEARN Peter Freyne [Inside Track, June 19] apparently buys Jim Douglas' charge that Doug Racine flip-flops on issues. I don't. My dictionary defines "flip-flop" as "an abrupt change, as to an opposite opinion." That describes the actions of only one gubernatorial candidate — Jim Douglas. Recently Jim said he would not support repeal of the civil-union law and within seconds said he would sign the House bill creating a new reciprocal partnership system. Section 3 of that bill (H.502) does in fact repeal the civil-union law. That's a classic flip-flop. One second he accepts civil unions, the next he'd repeal them. What's Jim's real position? The evolution of Doug Racine's positions on the Circ Highway and single-payer health care has been anything but flipflop. For years he's worked with

and listened to people whose lives are most directly impacted by those issues. Doug has been open to learning and developing policy that reflects both present reality and consistent core principles. He believes government officials owe it to the public to be open to new information and ways of achieving important shared goals. Changes in Doug's positions on specific issues are much like Sandra Day O'Connor's move from opposing (in 1989) to supporting (last week) a ban on executing the mentally retarded. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have thinking people like Lt. Governor Racine and Justice O'Connor making public policy than those like Treasurer Douglas and Justices Scalia and Thomas who clearly prefer that we all just stop thinking, learning and growing. — Tim Palmer Williston DELETE EXPLETIVES? I am a great admirer of Peter Freyne and a regular reader of his column. His political instincts are usually right on, and his irreverence is usually very refreshing. But I believe that he has crossed the line with his explicit scatological references in this week's column [Inside Track, June 26]. Even those of us who are politically left of center may have a sense of propriety that

My gift to America would be a national health service providing coverage for all of her citizens. — Louise Blake Briggs Carriage Bookstore, Bookseller Brandon A high colonic. America really needs a collective enema. — Dave P. Ex-IBMer and future Dartmouth student Hanover, N.H.

THANKS FOR T H E M E M O I R As a reader of Seven Days, I was moved by Ruth Horowitz's heartfelt tribute to her father, "Hard Copy," in the recent Men's Issue [June 19]. The article was remarkable in capturing the essence of your father's brilliance and his all-consuming passion cultivated at considerable cost to both you and your family Your admiration for your father and your tenderness and longing for a deeper connection with him came through without erring on the side of sentimentality. Thanks to your clean handling of language, the memories you recalled bloomed as subtly as the rhododendrons you noted. Clearly, you have your father's gift for words, and more. In the best writing there is a balance between science and art. The science is in knowing what to say; the art lies in knowing what not to say. In your memoir you brought both to bear. Thank you. — Mark Rubin Burlington

Curses, Foiled Again Several Australian teen-agers presented authentic-looking drivers licenses at a pub in Toowoomba, Queensland, but the pub's bouncers had little trouble spotting them as forgeries. Their identification photos showed them wearing their high-school uniforms, signaling their underage status.

Aerial Oops Dan L. Legrant, 66, of Edmond, Oklahoma, was flying into Eagle Creek Airport in Indianapolis and told air traffic controllers that he had the runway in sight. When he landed his single-engine plane, however, he discovered he was on a drag strip at Indianapolis Raceway Park, which is five miles from the airport. Some 50 drivers had been testing their vehicles on the track, but safety officials closed the drag strip because of rain about 15 minutes before Legrant touched down. "If he had landed when the dragsters were running, we could have had a disaster," Indiana State Police Sgt. Sam Maldonado said. "God must have been looking out for him."

Mensa Rejects of the Week Richard Goddard Jr. and David Winkleman sued Davenport, Iowa radio station KORB after they had the station's logo permanently tattooed across their foreheads expecting to receive $150,000, only to

learn that the offer by disc jockey Benjamin Stomberg was a joke. After Stomberg made the offer on the air, the two men said they called the station, were told it was legitimate and went to a tattoo parlor. A station representative met the men, paid for their tattoos, photographed the tattoos and posted them on its Web site. Not only did the station renege, the lawsuit claims, but also after the two men had their heads tattooed, Winkleman was fired from his job, and both men were unable to get jobs. "Stomberg made the false promise as a practical joke," the lawsuit states, "so that

Postmortem Depression

Japanese cell-phone maker N T T DoCoMo said its researchers are developing a lipreading phone. While users mouth their words silently, a contact sensor near the phone's mouthpiece detects tiny electrical signals sent by muscles around the user's mouth, then converts the signals to speech or text. The company said its

The discovery of bodies discarded near a Georgia crematory in February led to several subsequent revelations. Officials in Hawaii announced they were looking into reports that Memorial Mortuary in Hilo buried corpses in body bags after customers paid for caskets. Meanwhile, authorities in Riverside County, California, accused funeral home owner Michael Francis Brown, 42, of dissecting corpses and selling the body parts to medical researchers at universities and pharmaceutical companies without the permission of family members, who believed their loved ones' remains had been cremated. Deputy district attorney Karen Gorham said Brown received about $400,000 in one year for the body parts taken from the remains of at least 81 people.

All in the Family Kenneth Shoemaker of Biaine, Minnesota, told police his 17-year-old son Travis might have poisoned him because (a) his morning coffee tasted strange and (b) he found a note Travis wrote his girlfriend saying that he hated his father and wanted to kill him and his stepmother. After police arrested Travis at school that day, he admitted lacing his dad's coffee

impetus for developing the phone is to rid public places of noise caused by rude users shouting into handsets. • Bursts of microwave energy from the sun can disrupt wireless cell communications, especially near sunrise and sunset, according to researchers at Lucent Technologies. Writing in the journal Radio Science, the scientists said solar radio bursts strong enough to disrupt a cellphone call could occur between 10 and 20 days a year. • British engineers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau said they have developed a tooth phone.

the manager of a youth soccer team in Southwick. Prosecutor Guy Russell told the Hove Crown Court that Tucker "behaved oddly" during the first half of the match, verbally abused some of the young players and kneed a parent in the groin during a sideline brawl. After the match, Tucker followed Simon Kay, manager of the Hove Park Colts, into a parking lot, wrestled him to the ground and bit his ear.. • An off-duty Secret Service agent in San Diego who was assigned to protect Vice President Dick Cheney bit off part of a man's ear during a brawl outside a bar. The fight began, according to a 24-yearold woman at the Daley Double Bar, after three agents made "rude comments" to her, and locals at the bar objected. "There was a lot of alcohol and testosterone flying," said Sgr. Rob Morse of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. • Jose Luiz Gomez-Martinez and Pedro Rivera-Flores were at a bar in Roanoke, Virginia, when the two friends began fighting. Rivera-Flores appeared to be winning, according to prosecutor John McNeil, when Gomez-Martinez bit off the top of his right ear. He also bit Rivera-Flores's left forearm. After Gomez-Martinez pleaded guilty to assault and battery, McNeil reported, "There is no bad blood between them. They are not friends, but they are talking again."

ell, score one for our side, however briefly and without a prayer of success, if you'll forgive the expression. I refer to the "God" business — that is, the "under God" business — and the decision of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the inclusion of the words "one nation under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, a violation of the separation of church and state. "A profession that we are a nation 'under God' is identical, for Establishment Clause purposes, to a profession that we are a nation 'under Jesus,' a nation 'under Vishnu,' a nation 'under Zeus' or a nation 'under no god,'" said Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, speaking for the court: "None of these professions can be neutral with respect to religion." Amen. I've known this since I was old ^ enough to crawl, and I mean that literally. The first angry letter my j mother ever sent to a ^ newspaper was in June V 1954, when Congress, pandering to fears of communism, flying saucers and nuclear bombs, caved in to President Eisenhower and the Knights of Columbus and stuck "under God" into the Pledge, smack in between the nation and its indivisibility. I was less than a year old at the time, but I grew up in a house where this perfidy was never forgotten.

gion carries a price, which is that no religion may impose itself statutorily on any American citizen. But no matter: The California ruling has already been suspended and hasn't got a chance in hell of standing up on review. Congress — including Vermont's touted "Independents" — has proved 100 percent craven on this issue, blasting hot air about "values" and squawking for a Constitutional re-write. "Let us not wait for the Supreme Court to act on this," says Senator John Warner (RVirginia).

Chunky Monkey Business I t's no secret that Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield made a fortune playing the underdog. For more than 15 years, they were the counterculture hippies in the corporate world. In the end, though, they proved to be better at bringing home the loot than most of their button-down brethren. Ice cream was their product, but marketing was their game. Cohen and Greenfield loved nothing more than a public relations battle with big, bad corporate lawyers. Their biggest break en route to being multi-millionaires had to be the legal harassment they received in the mid-1980s from the Pillsbury Corporation. Home of the infamous Doughboy and owners of HaagenDazs ice cream, Pillsbury tried to elbow Ben & Jerrys out of the market and intimidate them with a flurry of legal threats. Cohen and Greenfield reveled in the attention, spun it as a Fortune 500 Goliath versus two hippie Davids, and trotted out the slogan that would forever be associated with the ^^^^^^^^^^^ transformation of their n H fledgling venture: "What's the Doughboy Afraid Of?" — • H ™ Now, with Ben and Jerry relegated to the role of mascots and the multinational corporation Unilever at the helm, the ice cream giant they created is hardly an underdog. Ben & Jerrys seems to have become the bully it once abhorred. Last month Ben & Jerrys hired its own highpriced attorneys to file a lawsuit against Pauline Comanor, an 88-year-old New Jersey artist who BY claims to be the original MICHAEL creator of the Chunky Monkey character associatCOLBY ed with its chocolatebanana ice cream. The lawsuit, filed by the Burlington firm of Downs, Rachlin and Martin, accuses Comanor of attempting to "extort" money from Ben & Jerry's by asserting her ownership rights to Chunky Monkey. For Comanor, it's just the latest skirmish in a war she's been waging against Ben & Jerry's since 1989. A professional cartoonist since the late 1930s, Comanor cut her teeth in the trade with the late, great Max Fleischer, the creator of Betty Boop and countless famous Disney characters. In the mid1970s, Comanor was visiting a zoo when she noticed a monkey that was less than frisky and more than a bit overweight. It was, in fact, a chunky monkey. And her character was born. Comanor's Chunky Monkey has been a mainstay in her stable of popular cartoon characters ever since, appearing in books, on T-shirts, as a doll and as a prop in public workshops for children. Chunky Monkey is even the star of Comanor's Web site, aptly found at www.chunkymonkey.com. But in 1988, Comanor contends, Chunky Monkey was kidnapped by Ben & Jerry's. Comanor still remembers seeing the first poached pint when she was vacationing in Massachusetts.

"I was stunned," says Comanor. "I just sat down and cried. I created that character and there it was, stolen by an ice cream company that I knew nothing about." Comanor immediately set out to right the wrong. She called and wrote Cohen, Greenfield and the corporation itself dozens of times, getting nothing but silence in return. Ultimately, Comanor decided to let her artwork deliver a message of its own. "I finally sent Jerry Greenfield a holiday card that I drew myself," Comanor remembers with a chuckle. "It was a drawing of their ice cream factory with my Chunky Monkey sitting on the roof. He was looking rather sad and saying, 'Ben & Jerry's can never own me because Pauline Comanor created me.'" The strategy worked. Shortly thereafter, Greenfield picked up the phone and asked if he could visit Comanor and her studio. "Jerry was at my house all day. We served him breakfast, lunch and dinner," recalls Comanor. "I think he was just coming to make sure I was really a professional artist and, perhaps, to give me a check for the character. But I didn't want any money. I just wanted my character back." (She was in fact paid a small sum, with the provision that she not reveal the amount.) According to court papers filed on Comanor's behalf in response to the Ben & Jerry's lawsuit, Greenfield was moved by what he saw in her studio that day, even to the point of "literally getting on his knees, shedding tears and begging her to grant his company some kind of license, after the fact, for its use of the trade name 'Chunky Monkey' originated by her." By the end of the day, Greenfield and Comanor had a verbal agreement that Ben & Jerry's could use up its remaining Chunky Monkey cartons and then cease with that line of ice cream. The verbal agreement was rejected by Cohen, however, who knew Chunky Monkey was a winner. He wasn't about to relinquish it without a fight. And what a fight it's been: 13 years of accusations and counter-accusations, culminating in the lawsuit filed June 11 by the Ben & Jerry's Corporation in the U.S. District Court of Vermont. "It's strange that the corporate giant in this instance has sued the aggrieved party," said Perry Sanders, Comanor's attorney. "It's an odd way to proceed with negotiations." Ben & Jerry's contends that it only filed the lawsuit against Comanor "in response to her threats to sue Ben & Jerry's." In a statement released late last week, the company acknowledged that "Comanor is the creator of a monkey cartoon character called 'Chunky Monkey,'" but she "has never used the name... to sell ice cream." "I don't want any money from them," Comanor told Seven Days. "I just want them to stop. This has been one concentrated bully attack on me." Earlier this week Comanor's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the Ben & Jerry's lawsuit based on its "failure to state a claim" and for being filed in an "improper venue" — Comanor's a New Jersey resident and Unilever's a European corporation with U.S. offices in New York. Who would have thought that the hippies who once ridiculed the corporate bullies would so quickly resort to the legal brickbats themselves? As Cherry, er, Jerry Garcia might say, "What a long, strange trip it's been." ® Michael Colby can be reached at mcolby@ adelphia.net

BY BEN COHEN

couple weeks before 9/11, you may have seen this job posting in the newspaper. At the time, our politicians couldn't find a credible enemy to justify spending billions on new submarines and jets that would be perfect for fighting the collapsed Soviet Union, but would be otherwise useless. Where was the enemy requiring the Pentagon to upgrade its fleet of stealth aircraft — already the world's best by far? Tough-looking trading partners like China didn't make the enemy cut. North Korea was even going diplomatic. Defense contractors were worried. Meanwhile, children's advocates were saying that rather than waste money on impressive but useless Pentagon toys, we should modernize our crumbling public schools, vaccinate kids in poor nations, fight AIDS, and do so much more... So, I wanted to find an enemy that our lawmakers could use to justify increasing the huge military budget without looking like complete fools or crooks — which is what they looked like at the time. But my enemy search wasn't going well. No enemy was mean enough for the job and the giant budget. Then the World Trade Center was attacked. Suddenly, our nation was focused on terrorists, seemingly a perfect fit for my enemy job posting. And, sure enough, in the wake of 9/11 our politicians not only stood proudly behind the mammoth Pentagon budget but rushed to throw even more money at the military — about $40 billion in $20 billion chunks. But as the stock of defense contractors began to soar, people quickly began to wonder what was really going on. Were politicians using the endless "war on terrorism" to provide a direct feeding tube from the U.S. Treasury to the bank accounts of special interests, who finance their campaigns? In a word, yes.

Even Lawrence Korb, a top defense official under Ronald Reagan, says we're spending tens of billions of dollars on new submarines, planes and tanks that will be just as useless at fighting terrorists as our current high-tech wonders. Korb says that the Pentagon has more than enough money to fight terrorism — even if its budget were trimmed by 15 percent or more. In other words, the Pentagon needs to be smarter, not fatter. Why does the Defense Department need $400 billion to fight enemies armed with $5 box cutters? For perspective, Bush's much-

While the administration wants to spend $400 billion on the Pentagon, America would spend only $10 billion on foreign aid, $8 billion on the entire EPA, $4 billion on the Centers for Disease Control and less than $ 1 billion on refugee programs and the Peace Corps. And, though 9/11 changed many things in America, our public schools are still crumbling and millions of our kids still need health insurance. So, with all the basic unmet needs we've got in our own country — and with all that we should do abroad in the name of human and planetary decency — retired Vice Admiral Jack Shanahan, former CIA Director Stansfield Turner and other military experts cannot figure out why the administration proposes to spend more than $1 billion per day on the Pentagon. This is enough money to make countless dreams come

Iraq spends less than $2 billion. Furthermore, most of us understand that a rational response to terrorism should focus on much more than the military. We need to fight poverty abroad and at home, reduce the debts of impoverished nations, achieve energy independence, and create a more just and compassionate world. This broader approach to "fighting terrorism" recognizes that our own nation's security depends on the security of the planet. And the problem is, we

Terrorism, horrible for sure, is not an enemy that requires the military buildup that we are witnessing in our nation. So, I still think America lacks an enemy that justifies the Pentagon budget.

Mounted in the proscenium arch of a small stage, a painted canvas curtain shows fishermen hauling their net onto a beach, with a lighthouse in the distance. The design incorporates a makebelieve plaque that reads "Cape Wrath," the northwestern tip of Scotland. The picture, which dates back to 1911, includes the

Vermont was not as much in the boondocks as we've been led to believe." The curtains provided country people with a sense of sophistication. In a society shaped by the Civil War, the Victorian Era and the Industrial Revolution, the desire for a more worldly outlook seems to have taken hold in every remote hamlet. How else to explain the 98-year-old curtain

lar curtains, Vermont appears to the only state surveying its "collection." Why? For one thing, more of these treasures seem to have survived here. "Vermonters don't throw anything away," says Sherman, who has been researching painted curtains with Hadsel and Newark conservator Mary Jo Davis for about five years. "We started out knowing about a dozen of them, but never realized there would be 110 curtains out there." With seed money from grants, the team began contact^ <iv3 ing town clerks and putting

"Who'd ever think such a thing would hang here in Starksboro?'^ — Christine Hadsel artist's signature: L.L. Graham of Brooklyn. How did a New Yorker's almost century-old work, set a continent away, land in this sleepy little Addison County village? The unlikely juxtaposition can be traced to a rural renaissance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That's when local and itinerant painters, many of whose names have since been lost, traipsed into town halls, opera houses, granges and Masonic temples throughout the state. Starksboros Scottish scenario is one of at least 110 decorative curtains that were commissioned to adorn the places where ordinary people gathered for entertainment. "Evidently, we had a wideranging cultural life," observes the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliances Christine Hadsel, who is spearheading a drive to identify, catalogue and eventually restore the curtains. Crafted between 1880 and 1940, in many instances these fanciful fabric murals were forgotten or taken for granted before the current project began. Each curtain is linked to what was once a thriving cultivation of

with a splendid view of Venice hanging in the Haskell Opera House, which straddles the U.S.Canadian border in tiny Derby Line? "They were travelogues," suggests Michael Sherman, a liberal studies professor at Vermont College who helped launch the Alliance survey. The Haskell's curtain was created by Erwin LaMoss, a Boston scenic artist who threw a few of his theatrical sets into the deal. His fee for the Italian vista: $800. Some curtain artists stayed closer to home by memorializing Mount Ascutney or Lake Willoughby. Yet others had a more commercial vision, selling ad space on the image. "There's a Wonderful, imaginative array," says Hadsel, thumbing through a scrapbook of photos documenting the project: Roman chariots race across a curtain in the Westminster Town Hall. Cottages and a waterfall grace one in Vergennes. A relatively modern piece in Townsend shows a Model T automobile, a trolley car and trains. A Bakersfield curtain features a biplane. Hadsel points out that although other regions have simi-

notices in the newsletters of nonprofit associations to ask if anyone knew of curtains in their midst. About 75 communities responded. Sherman and Davis, who heads the .Alliance's Vermont Collections Care Program, hunted down the leads. Hadsel periodically joined them. "Some curtains could be lowered from balconies using ropes," she remembers. "Sometimes, the ropes were gone, so they had to get up on ladders. We found curtains stored under or in back of stages, and had to crawl around through mouse droppings to get to them."

herman stumbled upon his first painted curtain in Bakersfield almost 10 years ago. He was serving as director of the Vermont Historical Society at the time and researching the life of Charles Andrus. The late Enosburg Falls painter had left behind a Civil War cyclorama — a visual chronology of historic battles meant to be unrolled as a narrator described them. Sherman bought it from Sotheby's auction house in 1988. Sherman realized that Andrus

SELDOM SCENE Curtain collector Chris Hadsel in Starksboro was one of only two such known artists in the state. The other was Charles Henry, a Charlotte man who produced his own family theatricals wherever he was hired to paint a spectacular canvas — Sherman says the clan always ended its show just as the patriarch was applying a final brush stroke. Henry's curtains can be found in Hardwick, Albany, Westminster, Saxton's River, Guilford and Huntington. Though Andrus and Henry were contemporaries, there's no evidence they ever met. However,

A detail from "Cape Wrath" Sherman cites one example of what sounds like professional rivalry: "Andrus painted over a curtain Henry had done in the town of Chittenden." Sherman believes both were good artists, though not necessarily great, and largely unknown outside of Vermont. "They're not in the company of Rembrandt or van Gogh," he opines. Almost eight decades after the death of Charles Andrus in 1924, his great-granddaughter Cynthia Babbott of Shelburne has been able to help the researchers piece together her ancestor's legacy. "He earned his living from the curtains, giving art lessons, doing gold-leaf lettering and designing brochures," Babbott says. "My mother, who was nine when he died, has two of his paintings — a picture of my great-grandmother's hand and one of a boy feeding apples to a horse. My uncle has a pastoral scene." An unframed Civil War painting by Andrus, "Sherman's Ride," was found in a Burlington warehouse about 25 years ago. The Vermont National Guard now owns it.

Andrus' curtains hang in places like Hyde Park and Irasburg and also once graced a Queen City landmark. "He created one for the Howard Opera House," says Babbott. Unfortunately,, somewhere along the line — perhaps when Magram's department store took over the Church Street building — the curtain was obliterated along with the beautiful baroque decor. "It went the way of history," notes Hadsel, whose blackand-white photograph from the Howard's glory days reveals an apparent woodland motif by Andrus. She also has vintage photos of Barre and Montpelier opera houses, both of which lost their painted curtains over time. Vergennes, on the other hand, managed to restore its curtain when the Opera House was renovated. Hadsel had a eureka moment last week, when she learned that a painted curtain — still rolled up on a pipe above the Contois Auditorium stage — resides in Burlington City Hall. She began making calls to arrange a viewing as soon as possible. "It's so much fun to discover these things," she acknowledges. "They may not be great works of art, but there's so much heritage there."

hen Hadsel and the others first looked for funding, they had no idea how many curtains awaited them. "There was not much information," she recalls. "We had little to go on, but we just knew in our hearts this would be significant." After securing $8000 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to begin the survey process, they went after money to stabilize the curtains suffering from neglect. The National Endowment for the Arts came through with $30,000. Another $20,000 has been donated by the Windham and Vermont Community foundations. "We'll start with 15 curtains this fall," Hadsel says. "An advisory committee will help choose

which ones need immediate attention. We plan to hire a textile conservator and other experts on paint and mechanical issues, like pulley systems." In each town that's selected, she hopes to train volunteers to work with the conservator and care for the curtains in the future. Local officials will be asked to contribute between $500 and $1500 to the cause. "I'll help them find ways to raise the money," Hadsel vows. "We can approach historical societies and arts councils, even Rotary or Kiwanis clubs." A second phase of the project, to protect more curtains, depends on additional funding. Hadsel has already applied to the National Parks Service for a cultural conservation grant that would cover the entire collection. The "Cape Wrath" curtain, in shades of blue, brown, gold, orange and green, could certainly use some restoration. It's marred by a few small holes. A horizontal band of faded paint runs near the top. But none of these imperfections detract from the laboring fishermen, the sailing ships anchored in the bay, the waves lapping the shore or the shine of the lighthouse beacon. L.L. Graham painted an ornate gilt frame aroiypd the Scottish setting and gave the whole scene added perspective with mock velvet drapes on each side. This surreal flourish — trompe I'oeil curtains painted on the real curtain — imparts an air of grandeur to the dust-covered room. Unlike Henry, Andrus and flatlander itinerant artists such as Erwin LaMoss, Graham most likely did not set foot in the town where his work survives. "I think this is one of the curtains that was simply ordered," Hadsel says. "He may never have even seen Vermont." The presence of the made-inBrooklyn curtain is remarkable nonetheless. "Who'd ever think such a thing would hang here in Starksboro?" Hadsel asks rhetorically. "Its such a romantic image." <Z)

This afternoon, she will have blood. "And in that corner, from -r Hollywood, California, Michael Monroe, The Movie Star!" The tiny Justin Lussier — The Movie Star's real name — grins slyly at The Adjuster. Usually he wears pink tights and

On a national level, professional wrestling is a lucrative business and a major American obsession. The "sport" has been performed and televised for decades. It battled its way to the forefront of pop culture after Vincent and Linda McMahon established the W W F more than 20 years ago. Since then, Hulk Hogan's face has appeared on countless T-shirts and cartoon shows, and "The Rock" now stars

Rampage puts together three weekend matches a month; each includes a "full roster" of 20 to 25 ready-to-rumble wrestlers. These are intimate affairs. For Lisa Haynes, a match at Bodyworks usually brings in an audience of 50 or fewer, though she has played houses of over 200 at Highgate Arena and several National Guard armories. Seen together, Lisa and Roy Haynes seem to be the happiest couple in Vermont: They laugh constantly together, Roy in a jovial baritone, Lisa like a shrill bird. Roy is a heavyweight with glasses and a thick Brooklyn

L — The Adjuster's husband, Roy Haynes a boa, but today its just a simple T-shirt and exercise shorts. The two combatants approach each other, venom in their eyes; they circle like predators, throwing out their arms, each one waiting for the other to slip up. This is routine practice for Lisa "The Adjuster" Haynes, 38, who takes her hits every Monday and Wednesday at Bodyworks Fitness Center in Williston. She's one of seven pro wrestlers — the other six are men — who comprise the local branch of Rampage Pro-Wrestling, New England's loosely defined "independent circuit." World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. — known as W W F until this spring — body slams into Burlington only once every few years. The

Its permanent ring in New York City, called "The World," can entertain 1200 fans per night, six times the number of people who show up at Rampage's biggest event. Rampage unites the small wrestling communities of Vermont and Maine — New Hampshire doesn't participate — and the athletes put fun before funding. Where the late Andre the Giant once raked in $15,000 a fight, local wrestlers "work for peanuts," says Lisa's husband, Roy. One gig in Boston paid $100 for a 15-minute bout, but this is considered top dollar.

He was a wrestling fan, and she caught the bug from him. "She used to hate wrestling with a passion," Roy confides. "But then we saw a show in West Palm Beach and security had to restrain her." "I thought, ' / have to do that/'" Lisa adds. Roy started an intensive search for a trainer. Within a few months he'd found Rusty Brooks, an old-school pro who had wrestled for more than a decade and kept a ring in the yard of his Fort Lauderdale home.

Allen Parker, redemption center sorter

he din of clanking bottles and cans is music to Allen Parkers ears. He found his dream career — redemption — about six years ago. At 33, the Burlington resident is proud of his speed and accuracy in a frenetic operation that handles an estimated 26,000 empties on a busy day. Parker, a wiry man with brown hair and blue eyes, plies his trade in an enormous garage attached to a convenience store. In business since 1978, the Burlington Beverage Center and Bottle Redemption on North Winooski Avenue is bustling on a typical Thursday afternoon as customers drop their returns into an enormous metal bin. To sort the plastic and metal containers from this collection point, Parker makes rapid-fire tosses into about 45 tall cardboard boxes labeled with specific product names — Pepsi, Coke, Budweiser, Catamount. He handles glass more gingerly; those items go into shopping carts that another employee wheels away for careful placement in the appropriate cartons. People who enjoy the sweet fizz of sodas or the spirit of spirits might not appreciate the effort that goes into recycling the detritus of their thirstquenching habits. But what may seem like a deadend job to some remains a creative opportunity for Parker, who just wants to make sure what goes around comes around.

SEVEN DAYS: How did you get started in this profession? ALLEN PARKER: I had done restaurant work and other odd jobs. But I was a customer here and, one day, a huge order came in. I volunteered to help because I know what a bottles worth. A nickel's a nickel these days.

SD: What appealed to you about this line of work? AP: I always wanted to be a cook, and I did that from age 18 to 26. But I got sick of it. Too many bosses. Here, I'm my own boss. And I'm friendly with the owners, Robin and Jessica Hammond, so it's like a family. I don't see myself quitting any time soon. I find it amusing.

SD: Amusing? AP: I like watching people's faces. The faster I count, the more amazed they look. I've counted 100-some-odd dollars in my head at once without stopping. And they're amazed how I shoot plastic bottles and cans into the boxes so fast without missing. I should charge admission. I could be a sideshow at the fair.

SD: With such terrific aim, were you a basketball player in high school?

SD: What about the stench? There's a strong aroma of stale beer in the room. AP: I don't smell it anymore. I'm immune now. When I come home, though, my wife Melissa sometimes tells me that I reek. The funny thing is, I don't even drink.

SD: How much cash do you pay out to customers?

AP: I was not good in sports, but I was great at math.

AP: In one average eight-hour shift, maybe about $800. O n a really busy day, $1200 to $1300 total. We figure it's about 100 bottles or cans for every $5.

SD: Doesn't counting bottles at that pace make your head spin?

SD: How much does the store earn on the deal?

AP: No. We count in fours, which is an easier way to keep track: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24...

AP: The distributors give us 8 cents for soda and beer returns that we pay 5 cents back on, and 18 cents for liquor bottles that we pay 15 cents for.

SD: Is there a downside? AP: It can be a real nasty job sometimes. I've been cut a couple of times when I don't notice a broken bottle in the bin. And we won't take squished cans. We try to enforce the make-'em-somewhatrespectable rule.

SD: Does that mean rinsing things out before bringing them in? AP: Yeah. I personally enforce cleanliness. I try to emphasize to customers that the more organized your bottles, the quicker you're gonna be served.

SD: Is the job ever just plain disgusting? AP: (Nodding) Once a customer came in carrying a bucket of cans and bottles with a whole quiche somebody had thrown in there. Everything was slimy. I told him, "Bring 'em home, wash 'em and then I'll take 'em." There might be cigarette butts we can't see in the bottom. About a year ago, I found a big old leech clinging to the side of a bottle that a guy had picked up at North Beach. I had to put on a glove to handle it, then gave him back the leech.

SD: Who is your clientele? AP: Every kind of person you can imagine. We get a lot of street people who take the money, then go out and buy alcohol with it. When the college kids are in town, the street people bring in $60 or $70 worth of stuff at a time. The students just leave them lying around. If everybody in Burlington gave me their bottles, I'd be rich in a week. We also get the governor in here.

SD: Howard Dean? AP: Yeah. He comes in with his Secret Service agents.

SD: What are his drinking habits? AP: Polar seltzer water. Maybe some Sprites and colas. Never any beer. But, you know, it'd be all right for him to have a beer now and then — he's running the state. I'd have beer if I was running the state.

SD: Bet he couldn't run a redemption center. AP: Nope. I'm the bottle god. Nobody counts bottles like me. , .

Dear Dr. Johnson: On May 20th the Burlington Free Press ran a story about an upswing in rabies cases in Vermont. Readers were told to report instances of "strange animal behavior" to you. Quite frankly, I find most animal behavior strange. For instance, cows are fond of feasting on their own afterbirth while raccoons and others enjoy dining on garbage. Dogs are known for horrific interspecies sexual audacity and crude salutations. Don't get me started on Benobo monkeys. My detractors tell me I can't hold other creatures to human standards. But don't they hold me to theirs? How presumptuous is the crow who assumes I wish to hear his pre-dawn territorial pronouncements? How paranoid is the bear that won't let me admire her young without resorting to barbaric defenses?

FULL TANK: Bigger than Texas.

There is a widespread tendency to view the animal kingdom as innocent victims of human aggression. Well, I find many animals equally chauvinistic. In my effort to temper their toxicity and help take a bite out of rabies, I require a more precise picture of the "strange" behavior I should be looking out for. Sincerely, /j . Kenneth H. Cleaver

Oops-a A jamesian analysis of UV'M's new top administrator

BY CATHY RESMER

e may be a brilliant administrator, but newly minted University of Vermont president Daniel Fogel has a few things to learn about public relations. When Fogel announced that he and his wife preferred the waterfront quiet of Colchester to the presidents house and the students' late night noise, the entire city of Burlington collectively winced. After all, if we have to suffer drunk frat boys peeing on our lawns, so should he. Since that initial misstep, a series of thoughtful articles has appeared in the local daily portraying the former provost of Louisiana State University as a gifted academic who is just a little out of touch with life outside the ivory tower. No doubt a 1975 photo of the new prez as a

organic free-trade Ethiopian Blend with soy milk, a pinch of raw sugar and a shot of espresso. James' style is complicated, nuanced and sublime. Take, for example, the second sentence of his 1878 novel Daisy Miller: A Study, in which the narrator describes Vevey, Switzerland — a town that sounds curiously similar to Burlington, only with more places to stay: There are, indeed, many hotels; for the entertainment of tourists is the business of the place, which, as many travelers will remember, is seated upon the edge of a remarkably blue lake — a lake that it behooves every tourist to visit. Daisy Miller is one of James' most accessible works and probably his most popular. In it, we meet Daisy, a fetching young flirt from Schenectady, New York, traveling in Europe with her mother and

We'd like to see our new eminent scholar avoid the same fate. Below are three of the challenges President Fogel faces at UVM, along with some observations gleaned from his own Jamesian criticism of Daisy Miller. Fogel himself offers a justification for such a comparison — "Our fascination with Daisy and Winterbourne," he writes, "is our fascination with ourselves; their predicaments are ours, and the puzzles of their lives, the puzzles of our own."

a few trusted faculty insiders. That's how James navigated the intricate maze of his narration. James' success, writes Fogel, "lay in choosing a central intelligence who is unusually intelligent, observant, and sensitive and who is therefore as fine a register as possible for the human, psychological drama seen through his eyes..." The prez should definitely pick someone who can explain the difficulty of being an adjunct professor in need of health insurance.

The Awkward Age: The college experience, like Daisy Miller, presents what Fogel calls a "dialectical complexity." Most people would agree that college students need to experience independence to mature. We just wish someone would figure out how to stop them from caterwaul-

The Golden Bowl: Fogel's writings don't yield strategies for filling the University's perennially wanting coffers. But when asking Vermonters for money, Dr. Dan would be well advised to keep in mind James' implicit warning in Daisy Miller about the dangers of closed-mindedness. Fogel

Dr. Fogel calls Daisy "a victim of a system of conventions she neither appreciates nor understands." We'd like to see our new eminent scholar avoid the same fate. bearded granola poet endeared him to many in the People's Republic of Vermont. But first impressions are hard to shake. Does his clumsiness in the housing matter, we wonder, foreshadow more missteps to come? Perhaps the answer lies in an as-yet-unmined source — Fogel's scholarly texts. The 54-year-old former English professor has written extensively on American novelist Henry James and is the founder of both the Henry James Society and the Henry James Review. A close reading of his Jamesian analyses suggests that Dr. Fogel the scholar might have some good advice for President Fogel the administrator. But first, for those Seven Days readers unfamiliar with Henry James, an analogy: If fiction were coffee, Tom Clancy would be instant, Toni Morrison would be a mocha latte and Henry James would be

younger brother. We see her through the eyes of Frederick Winterbourne, a young American gentleman living in Geneva, who takes an interest in the pretty, unconventional girl. He is discouraged in this pursuit by his aunt, who, like the other Europeanizgd Americans of "polite society," disdains Daisy's shocking unchaperoned — though ultimately innocent — excursions with single men. After scandalizing the expatriated Americans with her free-spirited ways, poor ail-American Daisy is ostracized. Then, in a moment of bravado and poor judgment, she defies the prohibition against walking through the Roman Coliseum after dark and contracts malaria. Sadly, she dies. In his own 1990 book, Daisy Miller: A Dark Comedy of Manners, Dr. Fogel calls Daisy "a victim of a system of conventions she neither appreciates nor understands."

ing outside our windows at 2 in the morning. Fogel understands this problem. "On the one hand," he writes, "we admire Daisy's spirited independence; on the other, we see that James condemns absentminded Mrs. Miller and the physically absent Mr. Miller for their utter failure to discipline their children, to control them, and, ultimately, to protect thfcm.'.?' ~ Would James condemn Fogel for moving off-campus? Maybe not, but Burlingtonians will if he doesn't work to ease tensions between students and yearround residents. Creative alternatives to binge drinking might include late-night literary salons at Englesby House, where he'll be living while his lakeshore retreat is being built. The Turn Of the Screw: Negotiations with UVM's newly unionized faculty might go more smoothly if Fogel seeks the advice of

judges the condemning society that shunned Daisy as "harmful, even evil, in its determination to type people and to shun those who do not conform..." In this regard, Fogel seems in tune with notoriously independent Vermonters. A willingness to reach out to diverse constituencies is important when you're trying to pick some pockets in a state this small. Finally, Fogel should remember his own conclusions about why Daisy Miller's entry into an unfamiliar society ended badly. "What Daisy fails to understand," writes the perceptive scholar, "is that one communicates by signs... in one's behavior as well as in one's speech." In his writing, Fogel demonstrates that he understands the art of communication. And that, at least, is a good sign. ®

SAVING FACES A close-up look at Vermont photographer ethan hubbard

by Pamela Polston

he directions to Ethan Hubbard's house are complicated. Miss one of the turns and you can wander Orange County's serpentine back roads for awhile without seeing any vehicles except tractors, and the dodgy cell-phone service makes it hard to call for remedial instructions. Along the way you pass homes both country-chic and, more typically, run-down rural, including a forlorn farm on a hairpin curve just downhill from Hubbard's place. Once you finally arrive — where the narrow dirt lane stops on a forested hill above tiny Washington, Vermont — you realize the whole experience sort of mirrors Hubbard's life.

Since 1968, when he first picked up a camera, Connecticut-born Hubbard has traveled to remote places in his adopted state of Vermont, around the U.S. and to nearly 50 other countries taking photographs of people. Especially old people "because they're wise," and children "because they're fresh," he says. Hubbard has shot 2600 rolls of film in those 34 years and, despite the breathtaking landscapes he's seen, nearly all his frames are

close-up portraits — always in black and white and with natural light. Hubbard has typically stayed in isolated outposts long enough to get to know his subjects before aiming his Canon. The results of this personable approach are evident in eight books and in his current exhibit at Sterling College's Brown Library in Craftsbury Common — the latest of some 50 solo shows he's mounted over the years. For the most part, Hubbard's subjects seem as comfortable with themselves as with the man behind the lens. Hubbard, a lean and energetic 61-yearold, is photogenic himself, with probing blue eyes, graying locks and an impish smile. He says his interest in portraiture is two-fold: "Obviously I have a great love for people who are still connected to what I call 'essence' — to the earth, to agriculture, to sanity," he explains. "And I believe, when I take the pictures, I'm clicking on some aspect of myself. I like to see the universality of people. I want to show what people look like — what people are like," he adds, touching your arm gently for emphasis. "All of us have these expressions." What's more, Hubbard says, "I believe the viewer feels the same way."

"Ethan has a special feeling for people whether they're in Vermont or Nepal or wherever," says Tom Slayton, editor of Vermont Life, which published a photoessay by Hubbard last summer. "He relates to them instinctively and naturally and they trust him, they just open their lives to him," Slayton adds. "It's absolutely stunning photography. He finds these wonderful people and takes very natural and direct shots." Slayton has hired Hubbard for freelance projects on occasion, including one that was Hubbard's own idea: Chelsea couples. "It was people in Chelsea who had been married for a long, long time, just voicing their thoughts about each other," he says. "It was sweet... It had such a great feeling." The article "came out about the same time the civil union thing was cooking along," Slayton notes. "If anything could say traditional marriage was alive and well in Vermont, that was it." Hubbard seems smitten by the elderly and their stories. He often says things like "I wanted to sit at his feet and soak him in" about characters like Harry Smith, a farmer who watched a ski resort build up around his land over a long lifetime in

Waitsfield. Another old Harry is "one of the two top people in Vermont, in my opinion," Hubbard says. "He should be president, he's so wise." That gentleman lives in his Cabot junkshop with 16 chihuahuas. Hubbard is not the only local shooter, of course, to focus on old-timers in the Green Mountain State. Waterbury photographer Peter Miller published Vermont People in 1998; last year John M. Miller (no relation) of Coventry published Granite & Cedar. Both are beautiful blackand-white photography books that honor a fading way of life in rural Vermont. So will The Way Vermont Was, 1960-2000, Hubbard's forthcoming collection of photo-essays. Though he's still bent on visiting all 251 Vermont towns, Hubbard's wanderlust has not stopped at the state line. His passion for people in remote places has made him something of a one-man National Geographic.

f Ethan Hubbard is attracted to the vast human family, it may be because he was the black sheep of his own, growing up in Washington,

"People just seem to open up to him. It's really quite amazing. After a week in a village he'll have the entire place mapped out... He'll know the names of 200 people." — Melissa Fisher Connecticut. Actually, he still is. His two brothers and sisters are "corporate" and uninterested in his life, Hubbard says resignedly. His father Walter — a "straight, Republican business guy" — was demeaning and impossible to please. "I was the all-wrong kid," Hubbard recalls. "When I published my first book, I handed it to my father and he said, 'It's rather I short, isn't it?'" Such slights surely provided fodder for ! plenty of therapy sessions. And Hubbard, who was named after his father, changed to Ethan a quarter-century ago. "I just wasn't a Walter," he says simply. Hubbard ' also seems to deflect negativity, a trait he might have inherited from his mother Kathryn. "She really believed in me and always encouraged me to follow my heart," he says with obvious gratitude. In 1981, he took her on an adventure out West to "live with the cowboys and Indians — she loved it." Both his parents are now deceased. As a photographer, Hubbard was a late bloomer. After he'd graduated from Rollins College in Florida with a degree in creative writing, he headed to Vermont, a state he had fallen in love with during earlier family skiing trips. He worked for four

years as an elementary school teacher, but "I wasn't very good at it," he confesses. He was married for three years in the late '60s and had a son, whom he raised for a few years on his own. Taylor, now 35, is himself a schoolteacher and the father of Hubbard's only grandchild, Ella. Leaving the classroom behind in 1968, Hubbard switched gears to become deputy director of the Vermont Historical Society. For the next nine years, he took photographs around the state, collecting and presenting Vermontiana. "That's where I found my voice, my love," he says, still enchanted by the discovery. "Being at the feet of people with strong character, rural people who knew themselves, was so fascinating. I knew what I wanted to do with my life." Of course, it wasn't all about visuals; Hubbard was a story collector and turned out to be a rhapsodic story teller. In 1977, he decided to leave the historical society and turn his lens on the wider world. He sold his house in Craftsbury — "I was able to go a long way on that," he says. He self-published his first two photo-essay books, Vermont: Light Upon the Mountains in 1977 and Good Folks, Good Country two years later.

Hubbard lived simply, a near vagabond, setting up his tipi on land owned by friends. With a portable home base in Vermont, he began to travel farther and farther afield. That was made a lot easier in the 1980s and '90s when some propitious investments in the stock market paid off: "I got lucky," Hubbard says. "I'm not so lucky today. But even without the money, I would still be doing this." The financial resources, he adds, allow him to send photographs back to his obliging subjects and "to help out a little bit along the way." Hubbard is keenly aware that, in most parts of the world, he is seen as a privileged white guy and, worse, a voyeur and opportunist. That's why he goes out of his way to show respect to people, according to boyhood buddy Woody Hartman. A retired Ph.D. and former nature tour guide who lives in Maine, Hartman has known Hubbard since they were 13. Last spring, the two traveled together to Vietnam. Hartman recounts an incident in which Hubbard approached a homeless man and casually dropped a crumpled bill on the ground. "He set it up so the other person could think he found it, so it was not seen as charity. That's the way his head works," Hartman says.

While Hubbard was photographing the H'Mong mountain people in northern Vietnam, Hartman was usually off in the forest bird-watching, but sometimes he went along for the shoot. "The first thing that struck me was, he doesn't have any formula for disarming people," Hartman says of Hubbard's style. "I always thought he had some technique, but he's just like all the rest of us — he fumbles for what to say. But he's fearless; he has no qualms about it at all." Hartman concedes he's in awe of his friend's ease with people. "It doesn't matter if it's someone on the street who catches his fancy or some old-timer on his porch, or in some primitive village, he just wades in." Melissa Fisher, Hubbard's girlfriend of four years, agrees. "Ethan just has an eye for people. He'll stop and talk to anybody just like that," she marvels, "...and half an hour later you're sitting down with them and having a meal or whatever, regardless of whether you speak the same language. People just seem to open up to him. It's really quite amazing. After a week in a village he'll have the entire place mapped out... He'll know the names of 200 people."

flB M hen Hubbard • • • • annotates his ^Bi mm way through a stack of photos or an exhibit on the walls, he remembers every story, and his speech is peppered with superlatives — never a judgmental word. He seems almost reverential about his subjects and has been accused of romanticizing them. "I am a romantic in many, many ways," Hubbard readily admits. Two labels he rejects: journalist and anthropologist. He seems to take his portraits at, well, face value. About a gorgeous young Haitian mother dressed in rags, he says: "She had such disdain for 500 years of white enslavement. It's one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken." An old blind gospel guitarist with a mahogony face in Virginia: "His life was about singing the praises of the Lord." A wizened Navajo medicine man in Arizona: "He would walk from village to village like a shaman." Two old brothers in Middlesex, Vermont: "They're very old-fashioned, they never leave home. The day their father died they got a generator and started watching videos." Hubbard once walked for three weeks in Nepal with a sherpa, who "would take us to these eccentric mountain people's homes at night," he says. One of them was a 7-by-12-foot hovel where an old man lived with his beloved cat. "Sleeping on a mat with him and my sherpa by the embers of a fire was the highlight of the trip," Hubbard recalls. "I heard breathing and crickets; that was the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, to spend time with that man." One of his photographs of a Nicaraguan coffee worker is being put to activist use at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier, Hubbard reveals. "Renaldo Hernandez has six kids. It's dangerous, back-breaking work," he says. "He makes 14 cents an hour. Renaldo Hernandez would have to work 18 hours to pay for one cappuccino in Vermont." The photograph and text accompany a display promoting Equal Exchange coffee, whose mission is to pay, third-world workers first-world rates for their beans. "I'm not a crusader; I wish I were," Hubbard says, "but I do a little bit here and there. "Oh, you gotta do this one," he exclaims, moving on to the photo of "Old Sog," a portly gent in Utah. "I've had two outof-body experiences: once during "* a birth and once with Old Sog," Hubbard says.' "He was crusty, smelly and couldn't button his pants, but he was a genius. He knew how to grow things. I love my job so much that talking to him made me go to the ceiling." Whether capturing a fat old coot or a demure little black girl in braids, Hubbard's photos are seductively intimate and intense, and yet they are deceptively ordinary, free of fancy techniques or digital enhancement. Most of

them reinforce the adage that the eyes are the windows of the soul. "I look for clarity of the eyes," he confirms. "The quality of the light is important, too." Hubbard's writing has clarity as well; the prose is clean and straightforward, with a descriptive elegance that neither aggrandizes nor patronizes his subjects. Two of Hubbard's books — First Light in 1986 and Journey to Ollantaytambo in 1990 — were issued by Chelsea Green Publishing. When that company's niche evolved to sustainable-living texts, Hubbard's photo books no longer fit, so he self-published two more books. In 1997, the companion volumes Face of a Woman and Face of a Man were published by Pilgrim Press.

Rugs from Morocco and Asia cover the floors; guide books to seemingly every country on the planet stand ready to be consulted. But this former tipi dweller isn't big on possessions. Asked what he likes to bring back, Hubbard surmises, "fabric, little baskets, jewelry for Melissa, maybe a stone or a piece of wood." Several statues of Buddha preside over the place, although, after years studying Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, Hubbard declares he is "no longer an 'ist."'

Weekly Mail

continued from page 4a JUSTICE

DENIED

My partner and I had reserved tickets to Lost Nation Theater's production of Execution of Justice. Based on this week's review in Seven Days [June 26], we nearly decided against attending. We love Seven Days, read it cover to cover every week. I have enjoyed what Isenberg has written in the past, however this time I believe he missed the mark, badly. Luckily for us, not only did we see a very good play and some strong performances, but also I learned again to bear in mind the power of the p'ess. I strongly disagree with the review on several counts. First of all, the reviewer seems to suggest that, because Harvey Milk's death does not share the same stature as those of MLK and JFK, the content of this play is not important enough material upon which to base a play. Isenberg seems to believe he knows the impact of this event on the gay community. I can only speak for myself in saying that Harvey Milk's murder, the subsequent trial and the documentaries I have viewed have had a profound impact on me. From viewing (again) in last night's play, the powerful clips of the throngs... marching... in San Francisco, I suspect this event touched many deeply. Secondly, Isenberg criticizes L N T based on the casting... My understanding is that the way these roles were played was... historically accurate... Also... the reviewer incorrectly'gives the order of deaths as Milk's first and then Mascone's, when in fact it is the other way around. Finally, the review blames much of the failure of the play on the playwright, complaining that Mann writes a cold and uncommunicative script composed entirely of monologues. My experience was that... the value of some historical perspective interwoven through this script combined with powerfully executed lines... and LNT's interweaving of music, asides, slides and footage... enhanced any shortcomings... All in all, this is an important play to see. It is well acted and directed. The content is disturbing and thought-provoking; it doesn't provide pat answers or easy solutions. It reminds me of how easy it is for systems we depend on... to backfire. — Karen R. Grace Montpelier

Not a bad deal, considering. But 90 days on the wood pile would put a serious dent in his ice time. Training camp starts in a little over two months. Mr. Behm, however, told Seven Days the deal offered is not acceptable. Behm said Mink wasn't about to punch anyone that night, since he had six stitches in his hand from a cut sustained at hockey practice earlier that day. And he didn't kick the victim, either. "There were no scuffs on his shoes," said Behm. Mink and buddy Tim Peters, a UVM goalie, were outnumbered and Mink was hit first, he said. "The evidence is going to show," said Behm, "that Graham Mink had never hit anyone in the face with his fists before." "In his life?" we asked. "In his life," he answered. That's a bit of stretch, eh? But let's give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, innocent until proven guilty, right? We do know, however, that Mr. Mink has hit a few people in the kisser since. Mink's penalty sheet for the season indicates he picked up a few five-minute majors for fighting both north and south of the Mason-Dixon Line. On those occasions he was wearing ice skates and performing for either the Richmond Renegades or the Portland Pirates. In fact, Mink had an outstanding freshman year in pro hockey. The former Mt. Mansfield High School star was quickly promoted from Richmond to Maine, just one rung below the National Hockey League. He was Portland's leading rookie scorer with 17 goals. According to the local paper, Mink "steadily improved and became a legitimate prospect." Portland Pirates team management did not respond this week to our e-mailed questions about Mink's criminal problem back in Vermont. We wanted to know if the team has a policy on players' off-ice conduct. We wanted to know where they stand regarding their rookie star. The next scheduled appearance for Mink at the courthouse is set for August 2. The judge has indicated that if a deal isn't reached by then, the parties should prepare for an October trial. That would be a brave roll of the dice. Lose in that arena and Graham Mink faces more time in the penalty box than he ever imagined.

DeanWatch 2004 — Meanwhile, IBM's John O'Kane has popped up on the national radar screen that is tracking our favorite presidential hopeful. And Gov. Howard Dean is being tracked more and more every day. Last week, a national press source predicted Howard Dean's "temper" is going to be twisted into an issue. Howard Dean's temper? The Queen of England may have a temper, but as journalist and UVM grad Scott McKay once noted, "A golden retriever could be governor of Vermont." But these days our favorite-son

golden retriever is running with the lions. It's war out there, folks. Remember how the Bushies spread rumors of Sen. John McCain's temper? Well, we're told Ho-Ho's political enemies will do likewise. And the source for the Dean temper is none other than our buddy at IBM Essex Junction — John O'Kane. The recent American Prospect profile on Ho-Ho contained three little sentences that got noticed by the big boys: "Word is that Dean is quick to anger. 'The governor has a temper,' says John O'Kane, manager of government affairs for IBM Microelectronics Burlington. 'He's thin-skinned. We choose our words very carefully around him.'" O'Kane said that he was mostly "effusive" in his praise of Gov. Dean during the interview with American Prospect. But he did not back off on his comments about Dean's temper. "I may have said that during the course of the [interview]," O'Kane told Seven Days. "I have seen him react strongly to things when he thought he was mistreated." Dr. Dean, he said, responds "quickly and with emotion." Our favorite presidential hopeful "has passion. That's not a bad thing." No it isn't. And come to think of it, it separates him from the field. Snelling Stays Put — Chittenden County's only Republican in the State Senate has decided to stay in the Republican Party. Sen. Diane Snelling, daughter of a Republican governor and Republican lieutenant governor, announced Friday she'll stick with the same team, despite feeling out of place at times. Princess Di was appointed by Gov. Dean last January. She replaced her amazing mom, Sen. Barbara Snelling, who resigned for health reasons. Like her mom, Princess Di was bitterly opposed by the right-wing Republican faction led by Rev. David Stertzbach. Mullah Stertzbach's local Taliban, like the one in Afghanistan, gets its marching orders from their "literal" interpretation of sacred scripture. That means women are third-class citizens, gays are an abomination and, yes, God made the world in six, count 'em, six 24-hour days! Facing another battle with the extremists, Princess Di was considering pulling a Jeezum Jim Jeffords and switching parties. News of that possibility provided a swift kick in the butt to mainstream Vermont Republicans, who feel a little guilty about their silence two years ago when Barbara was dragged over the religious coals by Rev. Sleazebag. It worked. "The Republican Party needs to move to the center," said Princess Di. "It will," she told Seven Days, "if people like myself continue to be Republicans." No word yet on whether or not Rev. Sleaze will put up another slate of intolerant religious zealots this year. After all, his cause celebre — civil unions for gay couples — is no longer an issue. Love won out in the end. ®

THE SOUTH RISES AGAIN Southern Culture on the Skids are stuck somewhere between raunchy country-rock lamentations and educated — albeit inebriated — r&b. The North Carolina quartet both pokes fun at and glorifies Southern-fried culture, sporting kitschy outfits and white-trash 'tude. But the music is American roots at its butt-kickin' finest. SCOTS return to the Higher Ground stage this Tuesday, along with fellow rockers The Deterrents.

PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC

SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS

THE EXIT, NEW BEAT (Some Records, CD) — The Clash-like cover photo, depicting three sneering post-punkers with upturned collars, says a lot about New York's The Exit. The band glares at the camera with apparent art-punk posturing and British garage attitude, yet still uncertain of their bearings in each direction. As it is, their debut full-length CD, New Beat, Comes off not as a Strokes-inspired stab at nostalgia, but a catchy, modern radio-friendly disc. The tunes on New Beat aren't bad — the band is skilled at penning brief, quirky anthems. Yet the album feels more akin to Blink 182 — minus the skateboards — than to the true renegade adventurism delivered by bands such as Television or The Clash. On the best songs here, such as "Still Waiting" and "Sit and Wait," The Exit exercise their retro fixations on jumpy, Police-like, reggae-pop. The musicianship is solid and the songwriting suggests great potential, but the polished New Beat sounds more like power-pop-by-thenumbers than a new punk revolution. The Exit step to the Monsterfest stage this Saturday. FALL SILENT, DRUNKEN VIOLENCE (Revelation Records, CD) — The gun-toting drunk on the album cover and the Jack-Daniels-swilling, vomit-covered angels on the sleeve suggest that Fall Silent want us to believe they're a bunch of brain-cell-killing, revolutionary fuck-ups intent on raising hell and rocking hard. The band, from Reno, Nevada, certainly preach the antiestablishment gospel. After the doom-laden distortion of the aptly named "Violence," "Flowers for Whores" opens with chainsaw guitars and nihilistic screams of pill-popping banality. Something about giving "flowers for whores, while the rest of the world is fighting for their fucking lives." Brilliant. These chaps are none too happy, and it seems they'd like to bring everyone down in flames.

"The First Seven Inch Club" rides a guitar riff that sounds like a crashing helicopter, while vocalist Levi Watson puts it really simply: "Fuck you, scenesters, CD reviewers, violent dancers, EVERYONE." Occasionally the band falls into the dull Rage Against the Machine stereotype of bitchy

young revolutionaries, but Drunken Violence does kick out the pounding hardcore jams. Should be welcome noise when Fall Silent play Monsterfest this Friday. TIME IN MALTA, A SECOND ENGINE (Equal Vision Records, CD) — If you need even more sonic bludgeoning, Time in Malta swerve from brick-to-your-head hardcore to slightly more emotional hard rock. Vocalist Todd Gullion has a more expressive voice than is usually heard in this genre, capable of throatshredding growls on rockers like "This Is Our Voice" as well as actual competent singing on the melodic "What We've Become" and the cover of angular alt-rockers Chavez's "You Faded." On A Second Engine, the band careens through a variety of styles, but no individual

with its faults, though, the disc showcases Time in Malta's significant musical abilities. Most impressive is guitarist Chris Lyon, whose lightning-bolt rifFmg adds depth to what might otherwise become underrealized, bland tunes. A Second Engine is uneven, yet Time in Malta should be lauded for attempting to achieve more than a simplistic collection of post-hardcore snippets. The band attacks Monsterfest this Saturday. TRIAL BY FIRE, RINGING IN THE DAWN (Jade Tree, CD) — Deeply rooted in the Washington, D.C., hardcore scene, Trial By Fire hold on to the ethics and musical devotion that characterized the capital city's hardcore breeding ground for two decades. Boasting straightforward, no-frills hardcore and disdaining the modernized, corporate demons that have infiltrated the punk world, TBF are truly old-school. Ringing in the Dawn is free of surprises, guest appearances, cover tunes or anything else that would distract the band from pure, undiluted rock. Vocalist/guitarists Jason Yawn and Colin Barth spit and snarl while pumping out acidic distortion. Bassist Kevin Lamiell and drummer Mike Sneeringer provide a manic, pounding rhythm section. • Variation from song to song is rare for TBF. Instead of searching for new sounds, they are content to blare through 11 tunes in 25 minutes, injecting each one with enough wrath to frighten the faint of heart. Ringing in the Dawn is a quick ride, but its forceful burst is what makes it so enticing. This solid debut establishes Trial By Fire as one of the leaders of "new classic" hardcore. Check out the rage this Saturday at Monsterfest. — Ethan Covey

SEVEN DAYS

GRACIE POTTER, RED SHOE REBEL (self-released, CD) — On her fulllength debut CD, Fayston native Gracie Potter displays vocal and piano abilities well beyond those of your typical 18-year-old. Equal parts covers and originals, and with a sound verging on adult contemporary but with a dash of sass, the disc is an apt showcase for a young rising star. Potter and collaborator/producer/arranger Tom Tafuto have put together a solid batch of understated, if slightly overproduced, tunes that predict future greatness more than actually achieve it here. Potter has a lovely voice, but she hasn't yet developed a unique emotional style. Don't get me wrong, though, Red Shoe Rebel sounds good and benefits from the playing of such guests as Gabe Jarrett and Greg Mathes. Much credit goes to Tafuto at Applied Imagination Studio for facilitating Potter's obvious talents. Her originals are heartfelt and sincere, especially the lovely "My Fifth Pocket" and the swooning "Landslide," both of which stand out in this mix. The cover tunes are well-chosen. Van Morrison's "Moondance" is given a laid-back, jazzy feel, and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" is slowed to a lilting piano ballad. In both cases, the results aren't as moving as the originals, but the songs are so strong, familiar and decently performed that they still succeed.

Other familiar tunes include John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery," Lyle Lovett's "He's Already Made Up His Mind," The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me," and "Lay Down Brother," adapted from a 1976 Grateful Dead live performance. These versions are OK, but Potter sounds like she's singing someone else's songs and, of course, she is. I'd like to hear her make these covers more her own or, better yet, build up a supply of original tunes. My advance CD-R version of Red Shoe Rebel is missing the last track, "Here No More," a solo piano and vocal original that may well tie the whole thing together. I'm looking forward to Gracie Potter's next record, which no doubt will contain more Gracie Potter material. For now, check out this emerging talent on her debut CD or live at her release party this Saturday at the Valley Players Theater in Waitsfield. — Colin Clary

Wander A band of itinerant mtisieiatis sings in hobo harmony

Rik Palieri BY KIRT ZIMMER

ik Palieri is a tramp and a hobo. And if you think those are insults, then you just don't get it. "A hobo works and wanders," explains the Hinesburg musician. "A tramp dreams and wanders. And a bum drinks and wanders." Palieri's wandering spirit has led to gigs all over the world, introducing him to fellow artists like Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen. Along the way, he has embraced other minstrels who wear the label "hobo" like a badge of honor. In fact, he's a member of what might be the ultimate hobo fraternity: the order of The Rose Tattoo. Currently, he's preparing for the first, and perhaps last, Vermont appearances of this merry band of musicians.

common language of symbols, which they would post as warnings to their peers. Although they are no longer prevalent in the outside world, these images are inlaid on the neck of Palieri's guitar. The cat means that a kind-hearted woman lives inside. A bird means you can use the phone. A smiley face means you can sleep in the barn. And there are other icons for trains, evil men and barking dogs. Palieri isn't the only one in love with this culture. He proudly reveals his handstitched vest from the "Texas Mad Man" and a walking stick signed by fellow Tattoo members like "Luther the Jet" and "Haywire Brack." These folks get together regularly at huge hobo conventions, which have been held annually for more than a century. There's a hobo foundation, a

that doesn't mean they won't put their hearts and souls into the shows. The recent debate over the future of Amtrak will likely come up at the concerts, and a show at the Historic Barre Labor Center will focus exclusively on ; unions. Members of The Tattoo — this time not including Phillips — will swap stories and songs, always with a touch of humor. The Rose Tattoo's new live CD, entitled Trains, Tramps & Traditions, includes as much banter as singing, and informs the listener about robber barons, the demise of the caboose and lots of characters like "Slo Motion Shorty." The music is classic Americana, a warm blend of country and folk. "You've got to admit, this is a solid

"It's a celebration of the road, of song, of trains, of community," Palieri says of the Rose Tattoo music fraternity. The Rose Tattoo was formed in the early '70s with the legendary U. Utah Phillips as ringleader. It was a group of folks who liked the same music, humor, stories and camaraderie around the campfire and, of course, hopping freight trains. The Tattoo, whose motto is mors ante servitium — death before employment — now numbers more than 20 people. "You have to be chosen, and usually by Utah," informs Palieri. "We keep in contact every day. All hoboes are online these days." Palieri, at a sprightly 46, is one of the young ones. While he clearly adores the mythology and reality of trains, you don't see him hopping on a freighter very often these days. He's what you call a "rubber tramp," or a "rolling gypsy," since his vehicle of choice is usually a camper. "People need to understand how important trains have been, and should be, to this country," Palieri says, going on to explain the role of itinerant workers following the Civil War. "It was their muscle and skill that did a lot of the work that built America as we know it." While roaming the country in search of work, the hobo community developed a

hobo museum and even a hobo graveyard. The Internet reveals an intense subculture devoted to all things hobo. So what's the attraction? "It's a celebration of the road, of song, of trains, of community," says Palieri. "We're not trying to be slick. We're trying to be human." An actual rose tattoo on Palieri's left shoulder is a reminder of that community and all the experiences they've shared together. The vintage carnival-style design was chosen carefully. Other members of The Rose Tattoo have similar images fixed permanently on their bodies. Don't ask too many questions about the group, though. "In a world of information saturation, we're trying to keep things secret," Palieri notes. In fact, their purpose isn't really about doing live shows. The Tattoo club would be just as happy to sit around a campfire and play for each other. "The only way we can afford to get together is to do a few gigs," says Palieri, explaining that the Vermont tour was put together as a fundraising addendum to the Old Songs Folk Festival in Altamont, New York. But

There were plenty of drifters in the threeand-a-half years he lived in a van, traveling between shows with his dog Koza. Today, Hinesburg is home base, but after a couple months in his cozy hillside abode, something beckons Palieri to wander once again. He's even written a song about it: "The Road Is My Mistress." Wife Marianna doesn't seem to mind. She supports his habit and burns CD copies of "Hoboes and Heroes," from her husband's forthcoming album, Totem Pole Rik. She's one lady who is happy to be married to a tramp. 0

gaff," Phillips says at one point on the live disc. In the hobo world, a gaff is a gimmick used to make a buck. Phillips goes on to express his disgust for beggars who can't even offer a little entertainment for the spare change. A true artist should be able to offer something for the donation — juggling, a good story, a half-assed balloon animal, whatever. "These sparechange artists, I just want to grab 'em and rattle 'em and say, 'Where's your sense of drama?'" So if you think the true hobo is a thing of the past, think again. It may be a fun indulgence for people like Palieri, but events like the Vietnam War have a way of creating a new generation of full-time wanderers. Wars, droughts and economic disasters have spawned hoboes throughout American history. And, of course, some choose the vocation out of pure love for the road. Palieri has met many such itinerants in his own years of wandering. There were the real Gypsies at the Open Roads Festival in Glasgow, and the mountaineers in Poland, where Palieri lived in 1984 as a guest of the communist government.

"Zapatistas," on the other hand, is a largescale painting presenting the rank and file as a solid mass of peasants armed with machetes. Watching over them are larger men on horseback armed with guns.

Orozco received a small grant from his country's Ministry of Foreign Relations that enabled him to visit New York City. Funded to stay for just three months, he lingered in the U.S. for six-and-a-half years. By the time he returned to his homeland in 1934, he was hailed as one of "Los Tres Grandes" along with fellow muralists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. • Unlike those two artists, Orozco had never studied in Europe during his formative years, so his sojourn in America became the defining event in his career. He created three major murals during his stay, and became fully acquainted with the contemporary art of the early 20th century in a way that could have never happened if he had stayed in Mexico. Dartmouth's Hood "Winter," by Jose Clemente Orozco Museum is the curatorial force behind "Jose viewpoint was probably more appealing than Clemente Orozco in theirs to the American patrons he quickly began the United States 1927-1934," the first-ever, to garner. comprehensive exhibition of work from the Orozco's easel paintings with American artist's American period.

Jose You Can See? continued from page 37a tion he would execute. Frescos must be worked in stages as the plaster dries, but all the phases must be combined into a coherent narrative. To have the drawings for "The Epic of American Civilization" on view in such close proximity to the actual work is a particularly rare treat. Orozco's studies for the section known as "Gods of the Modern World" show the invention of the image, from furious gestural drawings through anatomical studies — including drawings of a fetal skeleton — to the finished composition. That image is one of the most controversial portions of the mural at Dartmouth. It portrays skeletons in academic regalia delivering a similar baby skeleton, surrounded by other freshly born academics floating in a pile of jars. As superb as his American projects are, Orozco is considered to have produced his most important work upon returning to Mexico. In his native country his work was not simply exotic; it communicated directly to his countrymen the spectacle of Mexican civilization through colonization, war and revolution. The art he produced in the U.S. from 1928 to 1934 was simply a preamble to the artistic legacy he would give to Latin America and the world. 0

holy roles When the "under God" crisis broke last week, Republican lawmakers lined up with telegenic precision to recite the deity-friendly pledge of allegiance in front of the U.S. Capitol. Other reactions were equally daft. As C N N interviewed customers at an Atlanta coffee shop, an irate citizen proclaimed: "The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion." While we wait for the Faith Police to begin rounding up atheists and agnostics, it might be fun to think about films through the years that have tackled the subject of theology — pictures of piety, so to speak. The Song of Bernadette, a 1943 movie often broadcast on T V during Christian holiday seasons, is about a peasant girl (Jennifer Jones) whose visions of the Virgin lead her to a life of sainthood. Its fire-and-brimstone prologue is sanctimonious: "For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible." One critic dismissed the production as

'Hollywood religiosity at its most commercial," but he was surely a heretic. Oh God! and its two sequels, Oh, God! Book II and Oh, God! You Devil, came out between 1977 and 1984. In that span, George Burns went from portraying the Supreme Being to impersonating Satan. Of course, he's the same funny, crusty old

dude whether inhabiting heaven or Hades. Just don't tell that to the pledge-obsessed politicians. Agnes of God explores the mystery of a cloistered young nun who gives birth after a seemingly immaculate conception. In her last role before quitting show business, Jane Fonda plays the psychiatrist trying to determine if the sister is sane. The 1985 drama offers no solution on the thorny topic of miracles, but actress Anne Bancroft makes one helluva Mother Superior.

And who could forget Kevin Smiths Dogma?The bewildering 1999 treatise on Catholicism traces the efforts of Jesus' lastknown descendant to thwart two rogue angels intent on destroying humanity. This irreverent fantasy's final coup de grace is the casting of Alanis Morissette as a mute, acrobatic Jehovah. One nation, under Her. When it comes to cinematic art about the Almighty, my personal favorite is The Gods Must Be Crazy. The 1979 comic fable from Botswana concerns the pantheistic Bushmen of the remote Kalahari. After a glass Coca-Cola bottle falls from an airplane passing overhead, the wonderfully expressive Xi discovers that this theoretically sacred artifact creates only envy and turmoil among his otherwise harmonious people. He decides to toss it off the edge of the world, but the journey introduces him to modern civilization in all its madness. The film was slammed in some quarters for presenting a condescending portrait of

Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson for a comedy about a group-therapy instructor who has more aggression issues than the people he's supposed to help. Confidence, in which Guzman appears with Dustin Hoffman and Ed Burns, is a thriller that considers what can happen when a con man double-crosses a crime boss • Spike Lees next project is The 25th Hour, with Edward Norton as a young drug dealer who organizes one last night on the town before serving a seven-year jail term. The co-producers include Jon Kilik, a 1978 University of Vermont graduate whose sister lives in Rutland, and Fobey Spider-Man Maguire. • W i t h Bob Dylan as a wandering troubadour trying to salvage his troubled career, Masked and Dangerous is bound to be quirky. T h e director is former "Seinfeld" writer-producer Larry David, now seen on HBO's acerbic "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The mustachioed singer-songwriter, per-

apartheid-era tribal people. Call me politically incorrect, but I was ready to go live among those nomadic hunter-gatherers. If the Bushmen have allegiance rituals, any oath — in their melodic click language — would probably refer to the celestial spirits they worship. One nation, under the moon, with liberty and justice for all.

forming his own music as a character named Jack Fate, has appeared in 29 films — most of them concert documentaries. O n e of his few previous features was Renaldo and Clara, which he co-wrote and directed while touring with Rolling T h u n d e r Revue in the mid-1970s. I vaguely recall that some footage in the film was shot during the rock 'n' roll troupe's Burling-ton stop, but expert Dylanologists might disagree. ®

One of the foremost pianists of bop, Barry Harris is internationally renowned as a keyboard wizard and jazz teacher. Strongly influenced by Bud Powell, Thelonius Monk, and Charlie Parker, he was the favorite accompanist of tenor sax giant Coleman Hawkins and also toured with Max Roach and Cannonball Adderley. A masterful stylist, his crisp, lithe approach has had a profound influence on many in the younger generation of jazz pianists. Harris will showcase his artistry in this special, intimate FlynnSpace solo performance.

MR. DEEDS*** Adam Sandler is a genius! OK, I just wrote that so I could see what it looks like in print. It's not the kind of thing one's likely to run across any other way. The funny part is, Sandler really is a very, very smart guy. And that's the truth. How many human beings his age — or any age, for that matter — have accomplished artistically what he has? In the seven short years since 1995 s Billy Madison, the SNL vet, for all practical purposes, has perfected a new movie form. It's debatable whether the moron comedy existed prior to his ascent to feature work. Whether the moron romantic comedy did is not. Sandler experimented with the idea in '95, discovered the formula in '98 when making The Wedding Singer, tested it just to be sure the following year with Big Daddy, and now pretty much holds the patent. Mr. Deeds, written by its star, may be thought of as the first new model of the millennium from Sandler Industries, a variation on the comics standard vehicle, with the added feature that it updates a classic of American cinema, Frank Capra's 1936 Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. The average member of Sandler's generation probably doesn't know Gary Cooper from Alice Cooper, but here he is giving 21st-century tweakage to one of the Hollywood icon's landmark roles. Sandler plays an affable New Hampshire rube who owns a pizza parlor and dreams of one day writing greeting cards for Hallmark. When a longlost uncle dies and leaves him $40 billion, a couple of the late media baron's underlings helicopter into town, give him the news — and the onceover — then take him back to the Big Apple, where they plan to use him to gain control of the company. Winona Ryder costars as an ambitious tabloid T V reporter. When she learns that Deeds is in town and is the type of guy likely to help a damsel in dis-

tress, she decides to pose as one in hopes of scoring a scoop. She stages a mugging, Sandler intervenes and, before you know it (mandatory Winona Ryder larceny joke), she's stolen his heart. Meanwhile, back at the uncle's palatial penthouse, John Turturro plays an oddball butler with a Spanish accent and hilariously regal manner. He and Sandler hit it off at once. Shortly after they meet, the billionaire bumpkin removes a shoe to reveal a coal-black foot. Sandler explains that the condition is the result of frostbite and that the foot has no feeling whatever. He then invites the butler to bash away at the appendage with a fireplace poker, and Turturro eventually impales it. Only in an Adam Sandler film could this provide the setup for a moment of male bonding. Over the next hour and a half, a succession of city slickers attempts to pull the wool over the hayseed's eyes but, one by one, they find themselves one-upped as a consequence of his honesty, morality, good nature... or his fists. When all else fails, Sandler's characters are never ones to shrink from opening a can of whoop-ass. So, will he wind up with the money? Will he wind up with the girl? The real question for Sandler fans is, will the film wind up striking the proper balance between the touching and the touched. That, after all, is the comedian's great gift. His pictures have always been unprecedented in the way they embrace old-fashioned Hollywood values and bizarro, cutting-edge laughs simultaneously. With this linkup to Capra, Sandler has completed a conceptual circuit. His characters — not counting Little Nicky, of course — represent a singular and noteworthy splicing of the country's cinematic past and present. An agreeable, lighthearted, good-spirited and, yes, frequently funny experiment, Mr. Deeds offers proof positive that few filmmakers today can match him when Adam Sandler goes to town. ®

Dear Cecil, The other day while I was filling my car with gas, my daughter noticed one of those missing-children posters plastered above the pumps. She commented that she sees so many advertisements for missing kids, if she ever came across such children she'd never be able to associate their faces with the posters. I replied that it would be more likely she would recognize a missing child as a schoolmate or neighbor rather than someone encountered by pure chance on the street. Her comment got me to thinking about the success rate of the posters, though. How many children displayed in those posters have actually been found? Among those that have been found, how many have been "true" abductions, as opposed to disgruntled/estranged spouses or partners running off with their own children due to domestic disputes? In short, have the posters and milk cartons proved to be worthwhile in terms of recovering missing children? — Erik larson Crofton, Maryland I sense a couple of budding misconceptions here, Erik: (1) Most missing children are abducted by a parent during a custody dispute. (2) This is somehow OK. Fact number one: A lot of children are abducted by noncustodial parents, but the largest category of missing children is runaways. (Or so the studies say — see below.) Fact number two: Parental abduction is a crime in most jurisdictions, even if the perp's your pop. But let's take a look at those studies. The one more or less official analysis of missing-kid statistics is the "National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway Children," prepared for the U.S. Department of Justice by David Finkelhor et al in 1990 based on data for 1988. NISMART provided the following estimates: • Runaways — 450,700 kids took off without permission overnight, in 133,500 cases for parts unknown. • Lost, injured or otherwise missing— 438,200. Your basic lost-at-the-mall kids, for the most part. • Abducted by a family member, typically a parent in a custody dispute — 354,100 kids missing at least briefly. In 163,200 cases circumstances indicated the noncustodial parent intended to keep the child. • "Thrownaways" — 127,100 kids split or were thrown out, and the family didn't want them back. In 59,200 cases the kid had no secure place to stay. • Nonfamily abductions — 114,600 attempts, 3200-4600 actual. You're thinking: 114,600 attempted kidnappings by Mr. Stranger Danger, of which only 3 to 4 percent succeed? I know, seemed fishy to me, too. The more you look into it, the more you wonder about missing-kid statistics. About

TAMES

K6CHALKA

725,000 missing juveniles were reported to the FBI by local police in 2001, but the great majority of such cases are resolved within hours. NISMART based its conclusions primarily on a survey of 10,000 households, supplemented by lawenforcement-record reviews and the like. A survey on such a hot-button subject has obvious limitations — one may reasonably ask, for example, whether the alleged 114,600 attempted nonfamily abductions are a real phenomenon or just an indication of parental paranoia. A couple of possibly relevant facts: (1) Stereotypical Elizabeth Smart-type kidnappings — which may involve ransom notes, violence and so on — account for a few hundred-cases per year. (2) In 1994 Canada reported 400 parental abductions per year, versus NISMART's 350,000 in the U.S. Even accounting for the differences in population, reporting methodology, mobility, etc., such a huge disparity gives one pause. The people who publish missing-kid pictures on posters, postcards, etc. contend they're doing some good. (Milk-carton programs have largely ended — too upsetting at breakfast.) The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which coordinates missing-kid photo distribution with several hundred corporate and Other partners, says it has released pictures of 8204 kids since the program began in 1985; of this number, N C M E C caseworkers established, 1435 kids were found as a direct result. One N C M E C photo partner, the direct-mail firm ADVO, says 116 kids have been found as a result of its "Have You Seen Me?" mailings — a seemingly small number, considering that the mailings reach upward of 80 million households, but until a couple of years ago A D V O featured only one

child per week. Missing-kid photo programs are mostly privately funded, so whatever may be said about them from a cost-benefit standpoint, the money isn't coming out of your pocket. Still, its frustrating that we don't really have a good handle on how serious the problem is in the first place. An updated NISMART report is due out soon; maybe we'll have a better idea then.

pomp you up Recent FBI warnings of terrorist activity on the anniversary of Americas independence will likely add fuel to the patriotic fire ignited September 11. Vermonters plan to boldly go Fourth in a variety of ways: The Vermont Symphony Orchestra serves up "An American Salute" to composers Aaron Copland, John Williams and Morton Gould at Shelburne Farms, while Woodstock's Billings Farm & Museum celebrates "An Old Vermont 4th" and Rochester offers "A Tribute to Americas Hometown Heroes." Osama be damned, there'll be plenty of pomp, with parades, parties, fireworks and chicken barbecues until dawn's early light. See the special Independence Day listings box in the calendar for specific events around the area.

Now in its 24th year of bringing free, family-friendly, top-notch entertainment under its sizable Village Green tent, the seven-day celebration highlights homegrown sounds and invites stellar out-oftowners to kick out the jams. Highlights this year include bass trombonist Chris Brubeck — yes, he's Dave's son — and his Triple Play trio and Western swingers Hot Club of Cowtown. Things end on a high note with the The Vermont Jazz Ensemble.

The three-week Vermont Opera Festival was born just last year when Russian concert pianist and opera director Carmen Or of Montreal invited some of her international opera star friends to teach by day and perform free recitals with them in the evenings. "We want to stay small," Or says of the festival, "and become a part of the Vermont mosaic." A little fresh aria goes a long way. Vermont International Opera Festival. All week except Saturday.

RADIO BEAN, BURLINGTON, 1 P.M., SATURDAY, JUNE 29. The comic-book guy iooks like one of his own drawings, a pen-and-ink caricature with an animated face, biack T-shirt and jeans. • At least that's what I thought of when I sat down with Greg Giordano and his two friends at Radio Bean on Saturday as he opened his portfolio to show me what he'd been working on for Stuck Rut, his upcoming anthology of local Vermont comic artists. "It's no less legitimate than any other art project," said Giordano, whose work is currently on display at Radio Bean. Greg and his friends sat at one of only two occupied tables at the local coffeehouse, surrounded by sketch pads, pencils, X-acto knives and empty iced-tea glasses, waiting for participants in the first of several comic-book jams hosted by Giordano. He describes these events as clusters of people who get together for a day to talk drawing or publishing or just sit and draw. Giordano's self-published book will represent jam participants — none of whom were there for opening day. Instead, he and his friends talked movies while I perused the humble beginnings of the book: a motley collection of stick figures, a young boy and a monster and Giordano's own depiction of the Burlington public. The first "real" jam will be held July 20 at Radio Bean, Giordano informed. Hope the next one isn't stuck in a rut. — Skye Donovan

SEVEN DAYS -

page 25b

July 4-1 a ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This is prime time, astrologically speaking, to take an inventory of how available and inviting you make yourself, Aries. D o you face sideways when you greet people and offer monotone hellos with neutral body language? Or is your entire presence a whoosh of welcome? Are there thorn bushes or piles of junk next to the main door of your home? Or have you designed the feng shui of the place so that everyone who visits just naturally feels relaxed and accepted? Think about these matters, please. Maybe you'll get an inspiration or two about how it would serve you to expand your hospitality.

daily newspapers? I know you can come up with far more constructive ideas, Gemini. Please do. It happens to be prime time for you to graduate to a new level of common sense.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The ancient Greek mystical mathematician Pythagoras spoke of "the music of the spheres." Not regarding it as a mere metaphor, he described it as a divine symphony beyond the perception of most humans, played by the planets as they spun along in their orbits. You will have a far greater capacity than usual to resonate with this music during the coming weeks, Cancerian. Even if you can't actually hear it with your physical ears, you will be highly attuned to its influence. Therefore, it'll be a fine time to sing your ultimate prayers, intone your wildest praises, roar your deepest longings, whisper your most serpentine secrets, and yodel your goofiest love cries.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I've got a visualization exercise for you. Close your eyes and picture yourself at the zoo. Imagine that you go to the habitat where the lions are usually kept, but you find they're not there. In their place are three cows wearing orange prison jumpsuits. A ball and chain is handcuffed to each of their hind legs. I'd like to propose, Taurus, that this scene bears a resemblance to your current state. It seems that the overly tame and compliant aspects of yourself are on the verge of becoming even more hemmed-in and docile. I exhort you to liberate them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may find it hard to believe that imprecise language could undermine the likelihood of you getting your heart's desire. Nevertheless, it's my duty to inform you that your biggest, most deserving wish will never be granted in a million years as long as you keep wording it the way you do now. Try this instead: Take a piece of paper and write "I will do everything in my power to attract all the help I need as I accomplish the following goal." Then compose a declaration that crisply describes exactly what satisfying, growth-inducing experience you want most in life. Keep copies of this magic formula under your pillow for the next 22 days.

L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): I'm upset with you, Leo. You're not being sufficiently kind to the needy, unripe parts of yourself. You're directing way too much disgust at your so-called imperfections. Constructive self-criticism is fine, but not if it devolves into abusive self-hatred. As soon as you rehabilitate your spiritually incorrect habits, I guarantee the universe will shower you with rewards — starting with bigger, better, more interesting problems that'll tease your brain in a smarter way that the last batch.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Famed for her high IQ, Marilyn vos Savant writes a weekly column for Parade magazine. Recently she asserted that common sense is not just an instinctive skill, but can be learned. She offered suggestions on how to develop it, beginning with this tip: "Read the front page of your local paper every day." N o amount of exclamation marks can convey the incredulous hilarity that surged through me in response to that absurdity. How can anyone, let alone an alleged smarty, preach the practical value of drinking in the misery, loss, corruption, crime and death that fill the front pages of

strength and practical ingenuity As a result, I've been moved to change my opinion. I now believe you can claim the power to vanquish several of your most debilitating apprehensions: your terror of being thought a fraud, for instance; your worry that you'll never be loved in the exact way you want to be; your doubt about being able to handle the responsibilities and pleasures of success; and your fear that you'll never find the answer to your life's central question.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people yack on cell phones or munch on burritos while they drive. I, on the other hand, often meditate on the weekly horoscopes I write for you. Just recently, I was pondering your astrological aspects while motoring around Santa Cruz, CA. "How can I convey the rebellious but expansive spirit of the time for Scorpios?" I thought to myself. "What metaphor might serve to portray the value of being playful yet precise while thinking outside the box? Is there any image that'll inspire

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Until a few weeks ago, Virgo, I had reluctantly come to suspect that you might never defeat your inner saboteur. But then I had a series of prophetic visions in which I saw you summoning hidden reserves of fierce

them to be unpredictable for the liberating fun of it, not as a means of gaining power over others?" A perfect omen arrived as I came to a stop at a busy intersection. There up high, hanging from a wire connecting the traffic signal to a telephone pole, was a pair of sneakers, spray-painted gold and tied together.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you're planning on sidling up to a taboo, slinking into a forbidden zone, harboring a righteous dissident or cooking up a benevolent conspiracy (and I hope you'll do at least one of those things), don't send out press releases. Be as discreet as a politician running for re-election, as cagey as a secret Santa Claus. And please don't allow your strategic stealth to turn you into a manipulative jerk: Make your covert operation a work of art, not a weapon. One more thing: If you find yourself being scrutinized by the perpetrators of assbackwards justice, put the hint of a smile on your otherwise poker face.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Have you ever seen the game called "Playing the Dozens?" Participants compete in the exercise of hurling witty insults at each other. "You're so dumb, if you spoke your mind you'd be speechless," is a relatively benign example. A more typical slam is "Your mother is so old, she was a waitress at the Last Supper" or "You're so ugly, you couldn't get laid if you were a brick." This week, Capricorn, I'd like you to concentrate on rebelling against every impulse in you that resonates in harmony with the spirit of "Playing the Dozens." In fact, I hope you'll consider trying a new game called "Paying the Tributes." To do so, simply ransack your imagination to come up with

f|mart, true, extravagant and amusing praise for various peopie you know. Here's a sample: "You have such far-seeing vision I bet you can glimpse the back of your own head."

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The pest control company Hydrex named the yellow jacket as its "Pest of the Month" for June. Previous winners include pantry moths, fungus gnats and carpet beetles. I urge you to be inspired by their efforts, Aquarius. Home in on just one of the vexations that's draining your energy. Forget about the others for now so you can devote your full attention to driving the chief offender away. I'm not sure which irritant would be the best candidate, but consider the red herring or the straw men.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Pregnant women sometimes get unusual cravings. When Ro was pregnant with our daughter, she felt a daily compulsion to eat oranges and artichokes and read the work of Nobel Prize-winning bard William Butler Yeats. Is it any surprise that 11-year-old Zoe has turned into a lyric poet who loves oranges and artichokes? I bring this up, Pisces, because chances are good you're pregnant right now, if only in a metaphorical sense. (Check to see if it's also literal, though.) As a result you'll be attracted to sensations and experiences that are unique to the brainchild you'll ultimately give birth to.
