next $45 million Circumferential Highway (Circ) section, saying the Circ has enough political grease on it to raise a host of legal and ethical questions. Two historic changes define the Circs albatross status. When it was conceived two decades ago, traffic growth appeared to be never-end ing — but that growth subsided in the 1990s throughout New England. Vermont urban traffic today remains litde changed from 1999. Now any traffic growth can mosdy be managed without added congestion. Second, the modern round about arrived in the U.S. in the 1990s, a simple technology that erases intersection congestion — something the Circ cannot do. The Circ impact on major intersections like Five Corners and Taft Corner would not be noticed: a simple single-lane roundabout at those intersections today would make them free-flowing and result in Paul Erlbaum about 15 seconds’ delay during EAST MONTPELIER drive times, with practically no ' I ** delay the rest of the day. Seventeen BESERK CIRC roundabouts at busy Burlington Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,” area intersections reduce travel times more than the Circ! Most August 27] fairly suggests the Federal Highway Administration busy signal intersections, homes of the stop-and-stew, qualify for (FHWA) and U.S. Environmental roundabout conversion. Protection Administration (EPA) Saying the Circ benefits IBM are part of a ruse in approving the Telegram to Governor Dean [“Inside Track,” September 3]: Are you worried that your presidential candidacy may peak too early? Would you like to widen your base o f support? Would you welcome a partner on the campaign trail? Naming your intended running mate this autumn could expand and motivate your core of support ers, while doubling the Dean teams capacity to deliver campaign speeches. My pick: nine-term congress man John Lewis of Adanta, a hero of the civil-rights movement and a skilled orator. While pundits would declare a Dean-Lewis ticket doomed, I believe such a bold move would significandy widen your base and sustain active sup port for your campaign right through a successftil election in November 2004. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

transportation misleads. First, sur prise, there is no IBM transporta tion-needs study. The main inter state access to IBM from the south is via the 1-89 Richmond exit, then VT 117. Why has a free-flowing, safe roundabout on the north-side Richmond interchange of I 89/US 2/VT 117, ready for final design, been gathering dust now for eight years? The EPA said last fall Circ alter natives like roundabouts should be fully considered. The EPA was right and the federal government now forcing the project forward is wrong!

TRUTHLESS? The interview with Assistant Attorney General William Griffin in your Abenaki Recognition ^ [‘.‘Birth of a Nation?” August 20] article successfully exposed the cyn ical logic and morality of the AG’s position. Griffins palpable satisfac tion in the Eugenics Survey’s noxious effect on the 1930s Abenaki community was probably the arti cle’s most grotesque segment. Ken Picard’s other informants effectively refuted Griffin’s claim that the A Gs research was unbiased* initiated at “lawmakers’” request and openly; prepared. Attorney General^

Attorney General William Sorrel’s Aug. 27 letter confirmed that their portrayal of the Abenaki community as a mixed assemblage o f ethnic, cultur al and political frauds was, in fact, designed to thwart a supposed threat of “special privileges” and “broad exemptions” attendant to recognition of the Abenakis.

REVISIONIST HISTORY I have read that no President was crucified more ruthlessly than Lincoln. This of course is subject to change if Peter Freyne’s persistent rants against “Dubya” ever come near to representing mainstream America. Fortunately he won’t. That the “Inside Track” column is subtided “An Irreverent Read on VT Politics” still doesn’t give Peter license to go off track with signifi cant facts. One big bump in Freyne’s September 3rd “Going for the Kill” piece was [that] the North Vietnamese gunboats that attacked the USS Maddox did not exist. With this special kind of revisionist history on the loose, it could only be a matter of days before he says the USS Cole was never attacked, or that 9/11 didn’t happen. Allow me to refer to an article titled “The Secret Side of the Tonkin Gulf Incident” (Naval History, July/August 1999). This article was co-authored by two dis

tinguished academic Vietnam War veterans and by rto means reflects well on this country’s Vietnam involvements, especially the period leading up to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The article opens as follows: “A firewall existed between covert patrol-boat attacks on North Vietnamese positions and Desoto (Navy Destroyer) patrols eaves dropping on shore-based commu nications. The North Vietnamese didn’t buy the distinction; they attacked the USS Maddox." In sum, the Vietnamese were provoked and at 4 p.m., August 2, 1964, five patrol boats attacked the USS Maddox. They launched four torpedoes but only hit the destroyer with 14.3 mm machine guns. Right or wrong, it happened, as did the sinking of one of the vessels, the killing of the captain on a sec ond boat, and the eventual strafing of three vessels by aircraft from the USS Ticonderoga. In regard to Dubya’s use of the USS Abraham Lincoln as a “stage prop” — let’s just say it wasn’t as philistine or mercenary as President Clinton’s offers of sleepovers in the Lincoln Room at the White House. Or did that not happen either, Peter?

f you think the current Democratic presi dential primary is fun, wait until next year’s Democratic gubernatorial primary in the Green Mountains! Both Peter Clavelle of Burlington and Peter Shumlin of Putney told Seven Days this week that replacing rookie Republican Gov. Jim Douglas is at the top of their personal political to-do lists. , “I’m definitely leahing toward running for governor,” said Shumlin, the former president pro tern of the Vermont State Senate. “Gov. Douglas is a lackluster gover nor and I think I can beat him,” he said enthusiastically. Dittos for the other Peter. Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle told Seven Days he is “quickly moving from the point of thinking about running for gover nor to planning to run for governor.” Putney Pete, born with a nose for politics, bravely carried his party’s banner in last year’s hopeless Gov-Lite race. Sen. Shumlin had been poised to run for the top spot, but party leaders persuaded him * v w to yield tp, Lt. Gov. Doug Racine, wha|~ had waited a long time for his shot at gov ernor. They also persuaded Shummy that a divisive Democratic Primary would hurt the winner’s chances in November. Given Racine’s own lackluster losing effort, hindsight suggests that a Demo cratic Primary for governor might have been just what the Democrats needed. Unfortunately for Shumlin, the race was a three-way affair in which Shummy fin ished second to Republican Brian Dubie, and ahead of Progressive Party candidate Anthony Pollina. Doobie-Doo squeaked to victory lane with just 41 percent of the vote, as Shumlin (32 percent) and Tony the Prog (25 percent) divided the left. Shumlin told Seven Days this week that he’s paid his dues and that many Demo crats respect the way he “fell on his sword” for the supposed good of the party last time. Now, he reasons, it’s payback time. Clavelle is a longtime Progressive Party leader who succeeded Bernie Sanders as mayor way back in 1989. Last winter, Mayor Moonie sought and narrowly won the city Democratic Party’s mayoral endorsement, too. He ran in March under the banner of both parties. Clavelle told Seven Days he intends to run for governor on the Democrat ticket, not the Progressive one. State law, he noted, prevents candidates from running in more than one primary. “I suspect I will be in the governors race,” said Clavelle in a Monday interview in his second-floor corner office at City Hall. “And I hope Peter Shumlin sorts through his opportunities,” he added. Mayor Moonie suggested that Putney Pete “stop long enough to think about who in fact is most electable.” Not surprisingly, Clavelle thinks he’s the most electable candidate for governor because he can unite Democrats and their left-wing cousins in the Progressive Party. “I feel strongly,” said Clavelle, “that the next governor will have the support of both Democrats and Progressives, or else it will be Jim Douglas. I think that I am best

situated to garner that support. I also believe that, at least in the statewide arena, I’ll be a fresh face.” And a fresh hairline, too! It’s no secret that many devout Progs detest Shumlin. They find him to be too much of a centrist in the Howard Dean tradition. Likewise, many Democrats are uncom fortable about rallying behind a longtime Progressive whose party’s been beating up Democrats for years. One Democratic insider suggested Clavelle, nice guy that he is, might be better off setting his sights on winning the lieutenant governor’s race in what will be his first bid for statewide office. Fat chance. “I have no interest in running for lieu tenant governor,” said Mayor Moonie. End of story. “I also know,” added Clavelle, “that there are Shumlin loyalists out there. I’m hopeful that we can avoid the primary.” Not surprised that you’d see it that way, Mayor, but don’t plan on it just yet. Shumliir told Seven Days that primar ies “can be a good wajr for parties to select the best candidate.” After one lap around the statewide track, it’s clear Shumlin is eager for another run. And, let’s face it, the dude is a fantastic cam paigner. He makes an Energizer Bunny look sluggish. Clavelle, meanwhile, is determined to learn from the lessons of the 2002 GovLite race that split the Vermont left. “I think it’§, best for those of us who don’t share the Republican philosophy to figure this out ahead of time and to unite behind a single candidate and to avoid a primary,” said Clavelle. If Shumlin steps forward and says he’s running, said Clavelle, “no one should think for a moment that means I’ll back down.” There’s no reason to think a primary showdown between this pair of Peters would be run on the low road. The two got together to talk about things in July. At that meeting, said Shummy, they agreed to continue talking once he returned from summer vacation. Well, Shumlin was back at work in Putney Monday morning. A pow-wow with Clavelle could come as early as the end of this week. P.S. As for other potential Democratic candidates for governor, Doug Racine says he’s considering it. But State Sen. Peter Welch, who succeeded Shumlin as presi dent pro tern, tells us he is not interested. Neither is Attorney General Bill Sorrell. Gen. Billy told yours truly he’ll run for reelection in 2004. Shouldn’t have to break a sweat. But Sorrell said what he’s really looking forward to is becoming president o f the National Association of Attorneys General next June. That means, said Sorrell, he’ll be introducing “President Howard Dean” at the association’s 2005 winter meeting in Washington. ' Cool. IN S ID E T R A C K »

Only in Reno Police in Reno, Nevada, reported that an officer saw a man going 35 mph riding a motorized bar stool down a busy street. When the officer noticed a woman in a Mustang right behind the bar stool who appeared to be following it, he pulled both o f them over. The woman explained that the bar stool was stolen and she was chasing the thief. Police charged the driver o f the stool, Jarrett Orcutt, 22, who insisted he bought it a week earlier and had ridden it several times between Reno and neighboring Sparks.

Health Minister Michael Martin, acknowledging Ireland’s expanding waisdine, confirmed that he was looking into, “very tentatively,” a special tax on fatty foods.

Parts Is Parts A government hos pital in Oxford, England, offered a

white artificial limb to a black woman having her leg amputated. The Thames Valley Strategic Health Authority apologized to Ingrid Nicholls, 46, but explained that the National Health Service reimbursed only for white limbs. If she wanted a prosthetic that matched her skin color, it’d cost her $4725 o f her own. “If you’ve got to have an amputation, you should be allowed to have an artificial limb in the color that is relevant to your skin,” Nicholls told Reuters news agency, pointing out that nobody “would want to look like a freak, hav ing one white leg and one black one.”

ROLAND SWEET_________ • Police in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, accused Kevin Miele, 45, o f using an artificial leg to beat a man he believed was selling his son heroin. The pros thesis, which Miele also used to smash the man’s windshield, belonged to the son. “ He was hitting him wherever he could,” Officer Charles D. Morrison said. “There were some witnesses that saw it going on and said, ‘Boy, this looks like something the police ought to regulate. ”

Show Off Police in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, charged Richard James Clader, 38, with repeat edly blowing his horn while driving around so other drivers would see him masturbating. After news reports pub licized Clader’s behavior, more than two dozen people notified investiga

tors that they had witnessed Clader pleasuring himself during a ninemonth period on highways in Stockertown, Easton and Bethlehem, Lower Nazareth and Bushkill town ships. Clader pleaded guilty to inde cent assault, open lewdness and disor derly conduct, but attributed his behavior to his mother and his wife. “When I was growing up, I felt like I was neglected,” Clader said. “I felt neglected by my wife. It was like I wasn’t wanted.” Assistant District Attorney Pat Broscius questioned a comment Clader reportedly made to a probation officer, claiming that he didn’t think people would see him masturbating because his van has tint ed windows. “I think that’s kind o f suspicious,” Broscius said. “The defen dant was in fact blaring the horn in an effort to get attention.”

Legit Lit A man who writes scripts for telephone sex operators won a new national book award in Brazil. Santi ago Nazarian, 25, was awarded the first Conrado Wessel literature prize and will see his book Oblivious pub lished. Nazarian told the newspaper Estado de Sad Paulo that his former job was an influence on his book, which features the words “sperm” and “penis” in the first paragraph. Nazarian has also worked in a nightclub, where one floor was exclusively for couples who wanted to have sex, and has taken part in self-mutilation performances. “I’ve always liked this kind o f stuff; pain is not something that bothers me,” he said. “I don’t plan to stop writing the

Second-Amendment Follies Pittsburgh police said that three teen agers were driving through a city neighborhood shooting paintball guns at people until one o f their victims returned fire with real bullets. Lt. Philip Dacey said that the shooter fired more than a dozen bullets into the driver’s side o f the car, wounding driver Tracey Smedley, 19, in the arm and a 17-year-old passenger in the buttocks.

Carved in Stone Stonehenge, once believed to be a Druid temple and later a huge astronomical instru ment that could accurately measure solar and lunar movements and pre dict eclipses, may actually have been a giant vagina. Anthony Perks, a profes sor emeritus o f zoology at the Univer sity o f British Columbia, said the famous English prehistoric monu ment might have been built as a sym bol o f birth and regeneration. His analysis showed that when viewed from above, Stonehenge’s outer stone circle would represent the outer vagi na and the inner circle would be the inner vagina, with the altar stone as the clitoris. Stonehenge’s geometric center is the birth canal. “Stonehenge,” Perks said, “could rep resent, symbolically, the opening by which Earth Mother gave birth to the plants and animals on which the ancient people so depended.” ® - , (

Fluoridation N ation

P: 8 0 2 - 8 6 4 - 9 2 2 0

he irony of conventional wisdom is how much of it eventually gets debunked. Not long ago, schoolchildren were routinely sprayed with D D T to repel mosquitoes, pregnant women were given thalidomide to treat morning sickness, and people suffering from mental illness were lobotomized to calm them down. Before such practices were revealed as more injurious than the problems they purportedly cured, those who challenged the medical establishment were often branded as quacks, frauds or madmen. Only time revealed whether their apostasy was preposterous or visionary. One can only wonder what rime will tell about the Fluoride Action Network, a Burlington-based international coali tion of activists, sci entists and environ mental groups founded in May 2000. FAN’s goal is to raise public awareness about the deleterious effects of water fluqridatiqn

municipalities they should discontinue the practice. The group is how trying to get the issue on the city ballot for the November 2004 election. Wait a minute, you say. I’ve seen count less toothpaste commercials over the years and visit my dentist regularly. Fluoride is a bad thing? For 50 years, such bastions of public health as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, the American Dental Association and the World Health Organization have all endorsed water fluoridation as a safe, effec tive tool for reducing childhood tooth decay. In 1999 the C D C listed fluoridation as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called it “the single most important commitment that a community can make to the oral health o f its citizens.” . Is FAN taking its marching orders from Col. Jack Ripper, the insane Air Force com mander in the -1964 film, Dr. Strangelove, who orders a nuclear strike on the USSR because he believes the communists are pol luting Americas “precious bodily fluids” with fluoridation? Check out the facts and decide for your self. Among the scores of scientists world wide affiliated with FAN is Paul Connett, a chemistry professor at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. Earlier this year, Connett was instrumental in winning a seven-year battle to discontinue the fluori dation o f Cantons water supply. In August, he and his son Michael presented a paper to the National Research Council in Washington, D.C., calling for a reexamina tion of safe-water standards for fluoridation. As Michael Connett explains, the med ical establishment doesn’t discuss how fluo ride prevents tooth decay. “Even people who promote fluoridation acknowledge that its main benefits are topical,” he says. “To get the benefit, you have to apply it directly to the teeth.” Despite longstanding assertions to the

MICHAEL CONNETT, FLUORIDE ACTON NETWORK

contrary by the C D C et al., Connett says that recent studies show “no significant dif ference” in tooth decay between popula tions with fluoridated water and those with out it. As he puts it, “Swallowing fluoride makes about as much sense as swallowing nail polish to polish your nails.” FAN’s Web site, www.fluoridealert.org, includes an exhaustive oudine of possible health effects from fluoride ingestion. They include heightened risks of hip fractures in the elderly, arthritis, cancer, hypothyroid ism, neurotoxicity and dental fluorosis — the appearance of white or brown spots on the teeth. FAN also claims that fluoride has been linked to elevated absorption of alu minum in the brain, which has been associ ated with Alzheimer’s disease. Opponents have dubbed fluoride “the protected pollutant,” since the compound — added to 66 percent of U.S. public water systems — is an untreated waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry. “If this stuff gets into the air, it’s a pollu tant. If it gets into the lake, it’s a pollutant,” says Dr. J. William Hirzy, senior vice presi dent of tfapEPA Headquarters Union. “But if it"goes right into your drinking water sys tem, it’s not a pollutant. That’s amazing.” Fluoridation opponents also challenge the practig^on ethical grounds, contending that fluoride is the only “medication” added to water supplies. Municipalities have no right to force a medical treatment upon a population without its informed consent, they argue. They note that the FDA has never approved a fluoride product that was meant to be ingested. Though such arguments fly in the face of prevailing medical wisdom, fluoridation opponents remain undeterred. They point out that in western Europe, where tooth decay rates are at least as low as those in the United States, 98 percent of the public water systems have either discontinued or never allowed fluoridation. In recent years the anti-fluoridation movement has gained momentum in America. Since 1999, at least 50 U.S. municipalities have discontinued the prac tice, including Ithaca, N.Y., and Brattleboro and Bennington in Vermont. In January 2002, the Committee of Community Dental Health in Bennington recommend ed that the town not fluoridate its water. Instead, it suggested promoting good dental health through other means like better dietary practices, tobacco prevention, tooth brush giveaways and improved childhood access to dental care. Apparently, the ADA is alarmed by this trend. Shortly after FAN launched its Web site, the ADA purchased a similar domain name, www.fluoridealert.com, which redi rects users to its own site extolling the many virtues of fluoridation. The C D C ’s goal is to raise the national rate of fluoridation to 75 percent by 2010. The state with the lowest frequency of fluoridated water is Utah, at 2 percent. Incidentally, Utah was also the childhood home of Donnie and Marie Osmond, who sported the whitest teeth on 1970s televi sion. Go figure.®

S h £ As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre

things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what’s inside them.) Fannie does everything she can to ACCOMODATE guests. Unless, that is, they decide to SIEZE her jewelry while her back is turned. Those guests she may deliberately feed rotten CANTALOPE for dessert. As a result they may end up with TOMAINE poisoning. Fannie had a romantic RENDEVOUS with one of the poisoned guests.

he young man emerging from the train looked like a college freshman reporting for orientation: gawky, a little bewildered but raring to go. He was a tall kid with a shock of black hair and blue, inquisitive eyes. He swung a stuffed backpack over his shoulder and approached my taxi. “Hi,” he said. “Hi,” I said. “Do you know where this place is?” he asked, fishing out a small piece of paper from his shirt pocket and handing it to me. It was a Burlington address on Intervale Avenue in the Old North End. “Do I know where this is? Does Yogi the Bear crap in the woods? Let’s get your pack

“You think so?” he asked, sitting up a lit tle straighter in his seat. “By the way, what do you Vermonters think about your gover nor making such a big splash nationally?” “Well, different folks think different things, mostly depending on their political persuasion. But, by and large, I’d say Vermonters couldn’t be prouder. You know, Dean has a lot in common with most of our elected officials. Leahy, Jeffords, Sanders, our current governor, Douglas — they’re all straight shooters, whether you agree exactly with their positions or not. Vermonters respect and tend to elect politi cians who say what they mean and mean what they say. Up here we’re just accus tomed to that kind of candor, but it sure seems like it’s a breath of fresh air for the rest of the country.” I glanced to my side and saw the young man was fixed on me, intently taking in my every word. Poor guy — he couldn’t know that kind of attention only encourages me. Like-jCabdrivers the wgprld over, I consider myself pretty much an expert on every thing, politics in particular. “Wow,” he said. “I see what you mean.” “One thing that’s blowing everyone’s mind, I will tell ya, is the amazing change in Dean’s campaign style. He’s become so freaking animated! Back in Vermont, we know him as kind of stiff, to be honest about it. Maybe he’s rising to the occasion or something. It sure feels like he’s riding some kind of destiny.” “Yeah, I hope you’re right about that. I’m only 18, and this is the first politician that’s really inspired me big time.” . The little brick village of Fort Ethan Allen came up on our right. Once, while I was waiting in the fort for a pick-up at an apartment on Ethan Allen Drive, a couple in a car with Tennessee plates pulled up alongside me. “Sir, you’re a cabdriver,” the man called to me. “You must know this. We’re stumped. Could you tell us where we can find the fort?” “So where do you stay while you’re up here working on the campaign? Do local Dean supporters put you up?” “No, I’m staying at the Dean House. That’s where you’re taking me. I guess the campaign rented or bought a whole house for us out-of-state volunteers.” “Man, I didn’t know about that. That sounds like it could be a load of fun.” We found the address on Intervale Avenue, a large, well-lit home set back from the road. Oddly, I don’t think I’d ever noticed this house before. Dean posters were taped to the front windows facing the street. We got out and he paid me. I said, “I think you’re doing a great thing here. Whether Dean wins or not, you’re really acting on your highest principles coming up to Vermont to work on this campaign.” He smiled, took a breath and turned to walk up the driveway towards the front door. There’s nothing like the passion of youth, I thought to myself as I drove off. When it comes to the desire for a better world, the impulse is never as pure, never as unfettered or assured as that which dwells in the heart of an 18-year-old.©

We took the right onto Route 15 and immediately came upon the fair, which was in full swing. In the darkness of night, the zillions of colored lights gave the impres sion of an impossibly busy small city. I could see my customers eyes grow wide. “What’s going on here?” he asked. “This is the annual Champlain Valley Fair,” I replied. “It’s something, huh?” “To tell you the truth,” he said, “I don’t think I know exactly what a fair is. I’m a Philly boy, and we don’t do this in my town. What’s it about?” I laughed and said, “It’s actually just about everything. You got your agricultural and home exhibits — you know, like the blue ribbon for the cutest chicken and the spongiest sponge cake, stuff like that. Then you got your rides, your games and enough fried food and cotton candy to sicken an army of 10-year-olds.” As if on cue, a beleaguered mom walked by on the sidewalk surrounded by a gaggle of sugared-up children. I couldn’t tell the exact number because they were in constant motion, bouncing around her like bumble bees. “Then, of course,” I rolled on, “you can’t forget the shows — from Cyndi Lauper to demolition derby and, everyone’s favorite, the racing pigs.” The guy looked at me like I was pulling his city-slicker leg. “Did you say ‘racing pigs’? How does that work?” “I guess the name says it all. Apparently they’re not just delicious; they’re also quite intelligent critters.” “If you say so,” he said, chuckling. “So what brings you to Burlington?” I asked as the fair lights faded in the rear view mirror. “You seem early for a student. Glasses don’t begin for a week.” “No, I actually will be starting college, but not in Vermont. The school I’m going to starts late, like the second week in September. I’m up here for a couple weeks to'work on Howard Dean’s campaign.” “Get out of here!” I said, “That is wqy cool.”

Dear Cecil, Im ’ sort o f surprised that you dismiss the work o f Freud as mere quackery in your recent column about B.F. Skinner. No doubt Freud's theories and the therapeutic effectiveness o f psychoanaly sis remain open and controversial issues. But accusing the father ofpsychoanalysis and one o f the greatest thinkers o f the 20th century o f quackery is simply “Freud-bashing" and serves no purpose. — T.

I never accused Freud o f mere quackery. On the contrary, I think most fair-minded folk nowadays would agree that Freud elevated quackery to a whole new level. Phrenology, animal magnetism and the like have been consigned to the dustbin of history, but you’ll still find intelligent people praising Freuds pioneering contributions to our under standing of the human mind. To adapt General Bosquet’s remark about the Charge o f the Light Brigade-. Freudian the ory may be magnificent, but it ain’t science. Freud has always had his detractors, but the public didn’t hear much about them until the Masson controversy of the early 1980s. Jeffrey Masson was a trained analyst and researcher who briefly served as projects director for the Freud archive. Making use of previously unavailable docu ments, he argued in the 1984 book The Assault on Truth that a fundamental tenet of psychoanalysis, the repression of infantile sexuality, was based on a lie. Freud initially believed that adult neurosis was a mani festation of sexual abuse in early childhood but later rejected this “seduction theory” as implausible. Instead he proposed his now-familiar ideas about Oedipal fantasy, which located most early sexual escapades in the patient’s imagination. Masson called that a cop-out, claiming Freud had been right the first time but lacked the guts to confront the reali ty (and ubiquity) o f sexual abuse. Either by coincidence or as an outgrowth o f this notion, the years following publica tion o f Masson’s book saw a vogue for “recovered memory therapy,” in which practitioners elicited horrifying tales of incest, rape and Satanic ritual abuse from their patients — all o f which were supposedly bona fide recollections.

In 1993 Frederick Crews, a professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, entered the fray. In a series of scathing articles he argued, in effect, that Freud and Masson were both full o f it. Freud’s patients, Crews said, seldom reported sexual abuse spontaneously. Instead the therapist — whom Crews characterized as megalomaniaeal — used a combination o f suggestion and browbeating to plant ideas in their heads that would fit his preconceived views. Modern reports o f ritual sexual abuse, etc., were the " result o f a similar process and likewise bogus; suggestible souls were just telling therapists what they wanted to hear. _ _ The articles caused an uproar — you can read all about _ it in two books, The Memory Wars: Freud’s Legacy in Dispute (1993) and Unauthorized Freud: Doubters Confront a Legend\ (1998). Sexual abuse isn’t the central issue, though. The antiFreud argument boils down to this: Freudian practice is pseudoscience (quackery, if you will) because it fails an essential test of a true science — that is, it does not produce propositions that, in principle, can be shown to be false. Here it seems to me that Crews and his allies are on unas sailable ground. One finds in Freud’s work only a charade of the scientific method. Having cooked up some arcane notion through introspection, he would proceed to “con firm” it in sessions with patients. A key procedure in analysis was (and remains) free asso ciation, in which the analysand says whatever pops into his head in response to a stimulus. On hearing about a patient’s dream, for example, Freud would ignore the dream’s mani- ■ fest content and instead ask the patient to free-associate in order to recover its latent (i.e., real) import. From the blath er that followed, Freud would pluck a few key words or images that in his opinion revealed the dream’s true mean ing, which in turn would shed light on the roots of the patient’s neurosis. The analysand might resist or deny the interpretation, but this merely showed the strength of his mechanisms of repression. Freud would bear down and eventually the analysand would cave. Bingo: confirmation of Freud’s hunch (and by extension his theory). There’s a bit more to the process than that, but on the whole Freud’s critics have persuaded me that it’s not much more. How can anyone prove such a conclusion wrong when the only proofs that it’s right are a function of the therapist’s insistence? The detachment of Freudian theory from reality points j out a larger and as yet unsolved scientific problem: How can we know anything about the life o f the mind? Although it’s easy to dismiss Oedipal complexes and so on as nonsense (many modern Freudians, it should be said, do exactly that), one doesn’t want to deny the existence of unconscious men tal processes. As the linguist Noam Chomsky has pointed out, the speed and effortlessness with which children acquire language is evidence of a mental faculty operating without conscious intervention. No doubt we’ll learn more about such hidden mechanisms someday, but my guess is they won’t bear much resemblance to the Baroque structure envisioned by Freud.

trash truck just took my recycling! A nd that's okay. Now that All-In-One Recycling has started in Chittenden County, some haulers are using packer trucks to collect curbside recycling. These may look like trash trucks, but they're only collecting recyclable bottles, cans, and mixed paper. Really. Using packer trucks allows haulers to collect more recycling in each load, make fewer trips to unload, and reduce their collection costs. For an All-In-One Recycling list, see the second to last page of the Yellow Pages. For more info, contact your hauler o r CSWD. C h it t e n d e n S o l id W a s t e D is t r ic t

Dear Mr. Cleaver: Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion regarding the magazines (hat we offer in our stores. Even though customer demand led us to initially offer the magazines Maxim, Stuff and FHM, we have had customers around the country that have consistently made us aware that they are uncomfortable with us carrying these selections. In this case we had to balance the interests o f two different customer sets, and we made the decision to stop selling these magazines. It was a judgement call on our part. Serving the one hundred million customers who shop in our stores each week can be quite challenging, yet it is something we have been committed to do for more than 40 years. Again, thank you for sharing your concern with us. We always appreciate hearing from our customers. Sincerely,

Good Drink. Great Food. Exceptional Service.

Douglas' Toughest Foe — Forget the conventional wisdom that says Vermonters don’t throw incumbent governors out of office. True, it hasn’t happened since 1962 when Democrat Phil Hoff squeaked past one-termer F. Ray Keyser Jr., but one-term governor Jim Douglas cannot take reelection for granted. That’s because there will be a very con troversial Republican name top ping the ballot in 2004 who was n’t there in 2002 — George W.

o h . m y. g o d .

In 2000, Al Gore easily beat Bush in Vermont 51 percent to 41 percent. And that was before we really got to know what Dubya truly stood for. Now we know the price of having George W. Bush in the White House: huge job losses, a reckless foreign policy, a crack down on civil liberties and a determined effort to gut environ mental laws. In fact, even a neutral observer would suggest Dubya is hell-bent on transforming the Environ mental Protection Agency into the Environmental Destruction Agency. Vermont has long prided itself on environmental awareness. In past battles, Vermonters have led the fight on acid rain, global warming and clean air and water. In fact, in his live appearance last week on C N N , Gov. Douglas touted Verrqpnt’s ‘^environmental e *.c , But first as a candidate and then as governor, Jimmy D ’s envi ronmental agenda has been one dedicated to demonizing environ mental groups like the Conser vation Law Foundation, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, VPIRG and Friends of the Earth. Simultaneously, Mr. Douglas has done his level best to weaken environmental laws on storm water pollution and Act 250 review, all in the name of boost ing business development and achieving “permit reform.” For Gov. Douglas to win in 2004, he will have to significantly distance himself from President Bush. Recendy, Mr. Bush caused a furor by letting aging Midwestern power plants off the hook. No longer will they have to install pollution controls on their smokestacks when they increase production. As you know, what comes out of those smokestacks ends up on top of Camel’s Hump and inside Vermonters’ lungs. Asked last week why we had n’t heard anything from the gov ernor on this issue, Douglas quickly sang the praises of Vermont’s environmental leader ship and declared his opposition to Bush’s policy. The rule change, he said, “is not helpful to Vermont.” Gov. Jim has to walk a very fine line here. He owes his elec tion to the national Republican Party and the $600,000 it pumped into his campaign. The GOP even sent Vice President Dick Cheney up here to give Douglas a boost. And Jimmy D was the Vermont state chairman o f Bush-Cheney 2000.

Given the fact that BushCheney 2004 will have a tough time breaking the 40 percent bar rier in Vermont, Douglas will surely be doomed if he embraces the current regime. Asked if he’d agree the Bush administration has a “lousy record on the environment,” Douglas rallied to the president’s defense. “There are some other areas,” replied Gov. Douglas, “where the administration is moving forward constructively. The Clear Skies Initiative doesn’t go as far as I would like, but it establishes new standards for carbon dioxide emissions that move in the right direction.” Wrong. In fact, the Bush administra tion recently made a big deal out of excluding carbon dioxide from the list of pollutants that will be regulated by its proposed Clear Skies legislation, called “Clear Lies” by opponents. (The other three pollutants are mercury, nitrous oxide and sulphur diox ide.) You see, Dubya & Co. deny the very existence o f “global warming.” They consider it something homosexual socialist tree-huggers have invented as a way to reduce corporate profit margins. Therefore, they cannot acknowledge the need to regulate emissions o f a greenhouse gas because it contributes mightily to a global warming crisis that does n’t exist. Give an inch and them treehuggers will take a mile. What’s next — fuel-efficient cars? Unfortunately for Jimmy D, most Vermonters believe global warming is for real. And they see George W. Bush as the #1 enemy o f Vermont’s clear skies, clean streams and fresh air. You know what that means? Don’t expect a campaign visit by Dick Cheney in 2004. All it would do is fire up all those Vermonters who hold dear the “environmental ethic” Douglas boasted about on CNN.

DeanWatch 2004 — The pace quickens, the heat rises, and the press gets picky as the reality of a President Howard Dean sinks in. Fortunately, Ho-Ho has the benefit of all those weekly show downs with the Vermont press corps. If you can handle yours truly and Ch. 3’s Tim Lewis, you can surely handle C N N ’s Paula Zahn and N B C ’s Matt Lauer. We can imagine Howard’s inner voice saying, “Bring ’em on!” Monday evening yours truly attended the Wesley Clark “Meetup” at Nectar’s. Last Wednesday 200 Deaniacs packed the joint for their monthly Meetup. But only three Clark supporters showed, and one of them came across the pond from Westport, New York. The other two were from Essex, transplant ed just seven months ago from the nation’s capital. The reason they back Gen, Clark instead of Dr. Dean, they said, was because they don’t think Ho-Ho of little Vermont will be able to withstand the barrage of attacks launched against him by

SEVENDAYS I September 10-17, 2003 I inside track 17A

OPEN HOUSE S e p t e m b e r 2.5 - 2 6

Karl Rove and the Bush cam paign. They don’t know Howard Dean. On September 19, Clark will make the big announcement about whether or not he’ll throw his hat into the ring. What will he do? Our bet is, he’ll do the right thing. The retired four-star gener al has spent his entire adult life doing the right thing for this country. He’s not about to stop. Anyone who’s heard the West Pointer speak knows that he believes deeply in his patriotic heart that removing George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice from power is in the national security interest of the United States. Any soldier would ask himself, “what’s the best plan to achieve that objective?” The best strategy to strengthen the hand of the Democratic candidate for presi dent? The fact is, Wes Clark has never held elected office, while Howard Dean has had 20 years of frondine training. Gen. Clark has run an army, but he’s never run a government. Ho-Ho was Vermont’s CEO for almost 12 years. He understands government. His record proves it. Wes Clark hasn’t started fundraising yet. He has no cam paign organization. Howard Dean is leading the pack on both counts and grow ing. 1 ' Wes Clark and Howard Dean see eye-to-eye on foreign policy. They’ve been in contact for years and, by all accounts, hit it off. Folks, don’t be surprised if Gen. Clark announces he’s not going to run for president. Instead, Wes Clark just might drop the biggest political “smart bomb” of the campaign and announce his personal endorse ment of Howard Dean as com mander-in-chief. Can you say Vice President Wesley Clark?

VERMONT GREEN PARTY TOWN MEETINGS The Vermont Green Party will hold town meetings during September to organize town committees, elect officers, select state committee delegates and help the greens to qualify as a "Minor Party". Just a couple of hours of your time can change politics in Vermont!

The following caucuses are planned at this time:

Flash: This Just In! — Seven Days has learned that Indepen dent U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords’ chief of staff will be departing by year’s end. Burlington native Susan Boardman Russ has been with Jeezum Jim for 25 years — the last 20 as top aide both in the House and the Senate. Ms. Russ, 49, told Seven Days Tuesday, there’s no special reason behind her decision to depart other than that, “It’s time to change.” Needless to say, Jeffords 2001 dramatic switcheroo from Republican to Independent was a very “stressful” time for Susan, a lifelong Republican. “It was also a good experi ence,” said Russ, “a learning, growing experience.” Finally, late word is that WVNY-TV is dumping its local news operation. Last broadcast is Friday. No more Ruth Dwyer, investigative reporter! Bummer. ®

Miracle Doctors" airs Sunday, September 28, at 8 p.m. and Saturday, October 4, at 8 p.m. on MSNBC. For more on the Himalayan Cataract Project, visit www. cureblindness.org

light shines from the walls of a fourth-floor office in Fletcher Allen Health Center in Burlington. It’s the glow of the Himalayas, captured in framed pho tographs of the offices occupant, ophthalmologist Geoff Tabin. They show him climbing up Everest, meeting with the Dalai Lama and examining a long queue of wizened, quizzical and hopeful patients. Tabin, 47, is part mountaineer, part “miracle doctor.” He’s helped cure blindness in hundreds of thousands of some of the poorest people in Asia. “When people can see again,” says Tabin, “they exclaim, ‘I’m freed from the hell of darkness! There is a new sky for my eye!” The Himalayan Cataract Project was born nearly 10 years ago, on a bumpy late-night ride to Lhasa, Tibet. Tabin and a doctor named Sanduk Ruit had been the guests of honor at a raucous banquet cele brating a successful “eye camp” that had brought vision to 200 residents of a remote Tibetan village. Once a self-described climbing bum, Tabin had traveled to the Himalayas before, on expeditions to Everest and other mountains. Having learned to ski at age 3 and gone rock-climbing as a teenager, he often interrupted his academics for an adrenaline fix at the high altitudes of Asia or Africa. “Inevitably, a gnawing starts in my gut,” he writes in Blind Corners, a newly updated tome of his tall tales. “It gets stronger and stronger until the only thing I can do is set out in search of yet another wild adventure.” A graduate of Yale, Oxford and Harvard Medical School, Tabin was also the fourth person to climb the fabled Seven Summits: the tallest peak on each conti nent. In 1989, he volunteered as a general doctor in Nepal, where eye care was particularly abysmal. The intense ultraviolet sunlight at altitudes of up to more than 20,000 feet, diet and genetic predilection were causing cataracts — a clouding of the lens — to blind nearly all of the elderly population. “There wasn’t a single Nepali doctor performing modern cataract sugery,” says Tabin. “But then this Dutch team came and did cataract surgery, and it totally blew my mind.” He soon decided to pursue international ophthalmology and a fellowship in corneal diseases and surgery with the Fred Hollows Foundation, based in Australia. Fred Hollows, a pioneer of developing-country eye care, had also trained Ruit, a Nepali doctor of Tibetan descent schooled in microsurgery in the Netherlands. With Dick Litwin, a Berkeley, California, ophthalmologist who helped develop lens implants, Ruit had organized remote eye camps throughout Nepal. When Tabin joined Ruit in the

remote mountain village of Jiri in 1993, he was astounded by the doctor’s skill. “He’s absolutely bril liant. He did about 200 cataract surgeries while I did 30,” Tabin says. “And I had to call him over for help about three or four times.” In seven minutes — less time than it takes to hard-boil an egg — Ruit performed impeccable

quality, lasting eye care. We’re setting up the infrastruc ture, training everyone from the ground up, equipping and enabling for self-sustaining cures.” Noting that cataract surgery is a hand-eye coordi nation sport that takes practice to perfect, Tabin derives tremendous pleasure in hearing from Nepalese doctors who proudly inform him that their total number of surgeries in a year has leapt from 690 to nearly 3000. Meanwhile, a network of additional facilities has allowed the Himalayan Cataract Project to expand into Bhutan, China, India and Pakistan. Patients pay for the surgery according to their means: some $120, some less, others, nothing. In Nepal, more than 101,000 cataract surgeries were performed in 2002, compared to just 1000 intraocular lens operations in 1993. “Nepal is so far ahead of our most optimistic idea,” says Tabin. But that success came at a cost — to Tabin, who paid for enough of the program out-of-pocket to end up in debt. In 1994 he returned to the States to take what he thought would be a temporary post with the University of Vermont. He ended up marrying a fel low opthalmologist, and staying. Though he hasn’t embarked on a major moun taineering expedition in nearly a decade, Tabin still scales rock walls whenever he can. His steady surgeon hands bear the calluses to prove it. “I still get just as fired up about climbing,” he says. “And while I’ve noticed that I back away from the edge more now, I still get excited about adventures, and adventures in ophthalmology as well.” His most recent adventure took place shortly after Mountainfilm, an annual festival in Telluride, Colorado, at which Tabin delivered the keynote address. After hearing him describe the Himalayan Cataract Project, a producer from National Geographies “Ultimate Explorer” series approached him about filming a remote eye camp. That allowed

And then people see their loved ones for the first time... it's a very fun place to practice medicine. cataract surgery, restoring near 20-20 vision to some one who’d barely been able to distinguish between light and dark. Tabin began to learn Ruit’s technique, and to transform lives. In the rugged Himalayan ter rain, where even stepping out for some supper can be treacherous, “blindness is a death sentence,” says Tabin. “People long thought as you grow old, your hair turns white, your eye turns white and you die.” The patients Tabin and Ruit treated at Jiri cried, laughed or prayed when the patches were removed and they were able to see for the first time in decades. “It was this small cadre facing against the establish ment, doing the impossible,” says Tabin. “We worked 12-hour days but when we finished, we’d have five different kinds of appetizers, with really good bottles of whiskey, and after a great dinner, people would dance and sing. It was just a whole lot of fun.” Tabin then taught microsurgery at the Golcha Eye Hospital in Biratnagar, Nepal, before he was reunited with Ruit at another eye camp in Medrokongga, Tibet. Here, in addition to treating patients, they also trained other Tibetan doctors. Following a banquet in their honor on the eve of their departure, they made a plan to eradicate preventable and curable blindness in the region by establishing a chain of teaching. Since its inception, the Himalayan Cataract Project has revolutionized eye care in Asia. With a home teach ing hospital, the Tilganga Eye Centre in Kathmandu, it provides ophthalmic education to local medical practi tioners, trains surgeons and brings in world-renowned experts to share their knowledge. “Our program has evolved to the point where the focus is not me curing 50 people,” says Tabin. “It’s establishing sustainable,

Tabin, who still visits Asia a few times a year to train other doctors, to return to his source of inspiration. In June, he and Ruit trekked for five days into the Upper Mustang region of Nepal, a hidden Buddhist kingdom of deep gorges, ancient temples and cloudfringed peaks. At the same time, hundreds of blind villagers also made the pilgrimage, some on the backs of their children and grandchildren. Despite the distractions of the National Geographic camera crew and interviews with host Lisa Ling, Tabin and his colleagues remained focused on the task before them. “I really just love seeing the first quizzical expression after the patch comes off,” says Tabin. “And then people see their loved ones for the first time... it’s a very fun place to practice medicine.” Tabin hopes the resulting show, called “Miracle Doctors” will not only raise awareness of the Himalayan Cataract Project, but also much-needed funds. A $2.4 million expansion is planned for the Tilganga Eye Centre, and resources for skills-transfer eye camps and other long-term endeavors have start ed to run dry. The project’s outlook looks bright, however — especially when compared to the state of health care back in the United States. The morning we meet, Tabin returns to his office to find that his technician is threatening to quit because she’s learned her pay might be cut by $3 an hour. “And it’s ironic,” he adds, “that I have a better operating microscope in Nepal than I do here at Fletcher Allen.” But then he turns his focus to an elderly patient walk ing into his clinic, thousands of miles from the Himalayas, and there is that light, all over again. ®

pproximately 1500 members o f the Ancient Arabic Order o f the Nobles o f the Mystic Shrine for North America will parade down Main Street in Burlington on Saturday. But don’t be fooled — these men are neither Arabic nor mystic. They’re Shriners, the jolly men in red fezzes who raise money for children’s hospitals. This year, the Northeast Shrine Association is holding its annual convention and Field Days right here in the Queen City. The event celebrates the 100-year anniversary o f the Shrine’s Rutland branch, the Cairo Temple. Organizers are expecting more than 3000 Shriners — and their “Ladies”— to converge downtown, bringing with them little cars, unicy cles, fire trucks, clown costumes and camels. Members o f the parade units may attend a dozen gatherings a year. The Shriner spectacle is a common one, emblematic o f American philanthropy and boosterism. Less familiar is the strange subculture associated with this “Ancient Arabic Order.” It’s a world run by men who call themselves Potentates, Chief Rabbans and Oriental Guides, where Nobles are noble and Ladies are, well, ladies. Here, in time for the Shriner invasion, is an inside look at what those guys in the funny hats are all about. The most fundamental and often overlooked fact o f Shrinerism is that its adherents are Freemasons, or Masons. In fact, the acronym o f the Shrine’s official title — Ancient Arabic Order o f the Nobles o f the Mystic Shrine for North America — is an anagram o f “A M A SO N .” The Order o f Masons claims to be the world’s oldest and largest fraternity. Members address each other as “Brother” and have the opportunity to become Wardens, Deacons and Most Worshipful Grand Masters. Masons trace their imaginative rituals and traditions back to the practices o f cathedral-building stonemasons in the

Middle Ages, though the first Masonic Lodges were founded in 1717. Today there are nearly two million Masons world wide. A man who wishes to become a Mason must profess a belief in a Higher Power — Christian, Jewish, Islamic, whichever. He must also promote patriotism and agree to strive for the virtues o f brotherly love, philanthropy and truth. A woman who wants to become a Mason is out o f luck — sisters can’t join the “Brotherhood.” “It’s a fraternal organization,” says Ted Corsones, a Rutland lawyer and Shriner who serves as General Counsel for the Shrine o f North America. He sounds taken aback by the idea that women might want to belong, claiming that in his 50 years o f Shrinerhood he’s never heard o f a woman who wanted in. Besides, he says, “the Ladies are always with us. My wife goes with me to all the Shrine events.” Shriner spouses looking to get more involved can join the women’s auxiliary group, Daughters o f the Nile. Masonic men cement the bonds o f their brotherhood through “degree work.” They must memorize various moral lessons and Masonic lore, including the top-secret hand shakes and phrases Masons use to identify one another. Once Masons have completed the first three degrees o f Masonry, entitling them to the designation “Master M ason,” they may choose to join other Masonic-related organizations like The High Twelve International, the Order o f the Eastern Star and, o f course, the Shrine. Some o f these organizations offer additional esoteric degrees. Members o f the York Rite, for example, can earn honors such as the Cryptic Degrees and the Order o f Knights Templar. The Shrine, on the other hand, offers a respite from rote moral enrichment. According to the Shriner history at www.ben-ali-shriners.org, the Shrine is often called “the playground o f Masonry.” Its founders were

P q /U M C o a group o f Masons who enjoyed the camaraderie o f the Masonic Order, but were looking for some thing more lighthearted and fun than what their wacky Grand Masters had to offer. While on tour in France, one o f the men, actor William Florence, attended a dinner party given by an Arabian diplomat. The dinner’s Arabian theme captivated Florence, who sketched the fezzes and crescents and brought his drawings back to his Masonic compatriots. His notes became the basis for the Ancient Arabic Order o f the Mystic Shrine.

The Middle Eastern theme permeates every aspect o f the organization, from the insignia — a five-pointed star suspended from a crescent sus pended from a scimitar — to the names members choose for their meeting places. Vermont’s two Shrine Temples, for example, are Cairo in Rutland and Mt. Sinai in Montpelier. A Shrine Temple’s board o f directors is called “a divan.” Its leader, or chairman, is the Potentate. Corsones explains the weird tides are part o f Shrinerdom’s harmless pageantry. He laughs when I ask about the “High Priest and Prophet.” He claims there are no cultish or nefarious duties associated with the position — that’s just what they call the officer who’s fourth in line to become Potentate. A past chairman o f the Vermont Republican Party, Corsones is also a Past Potentate o f the Cairo Temple. He says that despite their fancy appela-

ment they receive. As Corsones proudly points out, “It’s the only hospital system in the world, outside o f socialized medicine, that’s absolutely free.” This boundless generosity has no doubt deflect ed criticism over the Shrine’s exclusion o f women — it’s difficult to work up feminist indignation when the people who love Shriners most are the mothers o f the kids they’ve helped. Shriners’ good deeds also seem to insulate them from charges that their goofy antics trivialize Arabic culture. Surely it must be offensive to some one that these mostly white, mostly Christian men meet at Temples with names like Bedouin and Mecca for “Arabic-themed” rituals. But apparently Arab-Americans haven’t made much noise about it. That could be because Arab-Americans are too busy being interrogated by the government — Americans just don’t find Arabs as romantic and whimsical as they did in the 19th century. Ironical ly, the current American anti-Arab bias has tainted the iiber-patriotic Shriners, who defensively refer to their costumes as “Oriental” or “Near Eastern,” but never “Middle Eastern.” That’s hardly surprising, considering how closely the name “A1 Aska Temple” resembles “Al Aksa Martyr’s Brigade.” Strangely, the most strident opposition to the Shriners comes from evangelical Christians. Dozens o f religious Web sites, such as Demonbuster.com, denounce Masonry and Shrinerism as incompatible with Christianity.

Corsones claims that the tides and the fezzes serve a purpose. “This pageantry is vital to an awakening for the general public,” he says. It draws attention to the Shriners’ extensive charity work — starting in 1922, the organization began building and funding childrens’ hospitals that specialize in treating orthopedic disabilities, spinal cord injuries and burns. Although they don’t pass the fez at parades, the Shriners raise approximately $250 mil lion a year, through grants, corporate philanthropy, individual donations and the United Way. “When people see these businessmen dressed up in their Oriental garb, brandishing their scimitars,” Corsones says, “people understand that they’re hav ing fun, but they’re also serious. They’re raising millions o f dollars.” The money they raise helps treat kids at 22 hos pitals in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Most o f the children come from the U .S., but the hospitals accept kids from all over the world. The only requirement for admission is a reasonable chance for success. Young victims o f international disasters find their way to Shriner hospitals. The group is currently working with international relief organizations and U.S. Central Command to iden tify Iraqi children in need. Regardless o f their nationality, or their econom ic status, patients are never charged for the treat-

id26.htm), Born Again Christian Brian O ’Connell proclaims, “The Masonic Lodge is a Satanic Cult! If you are a Mason or a Shriner, you must repent and get out! Only Jesus is a Worshipful Master!” Anti-Shriner and anti-Masonic sentiments are nothing new — conspiracy theorists have linked the men to everything from space aliens to Jack the Ripper. Corsones dismisses these allegations. “I guess they have a right to come up with screwball stories,” he says, “but it’s just a crock. Our mission is to raise money to take care o f kids.” Despite bizarre charges from the zealots on the right, the Shriners continue to prosper. Many prominent men have been members, including Ty Cobb, Clark Gable, several U.S. presidents and four past presidents o f Mexico. Ted Corsones esti mates there are half a million or so members today, with 2100 Shriners in Vermont. Corsones says that the organization attracts a lot o f good, respectable men, but it’s not just cama raderie that ties him to the Shrine. He recalls one 16-year-old girl from Athens, Greece, who had severe scoliosis and could hardly walk. Her family contacted him when her doctors insisted she was too old for corrective surgery. Corsones notified the staff at the Shriner hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the girl was eventually admit ted for an operation. “She was up and walking the next day same as you and I,” boasts the Past Potentate, who visited the girl in the hospital. “We have miracles every day here.” ®

am so nervous I can’t manage a deep breath. With 19 other couples, we stand in the dimness o f the staging area waiting for the announcer to invite us onto the dazzlingly bright, cavernous competition dance floor. There, five international judges will decide if we deserve to become one o f the six couples in the final heat. My partner David Larson and I are in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the U.S. National Ballroom Championships with our coach Bobbi Davies and four other couples from the Vermont DanceSport Academy (VDA). We’re here to compete with 600 participants for awards in standard and Latin events (see sidebar). The best will become national champions, and some o f them will represent the U .S. at the upcoming World Championships. In the hierarchy o f Bronze, Silver and Gold, David and I are rated Bronze level, and we definitely feel like babies. But in St. Paul, Bobbi has entered us in the Silver category for some dances to give us more

experience at competition — or to scare us to death. Costumes are allowed in Silver but not in Bronze, so, without time to change, we are the dowdy pair among a flock o f exot ic birds in feathers, sequins and floorlength gowns. David looks like a waiter in his starched white shirt with bow tie. Dressed all in black, my hair helmeted with “Instant Freeze” hairspray, I look more like I’m attending a funeral than a dance. But after months o f classes, coach ing, drills, qualifying events and practice, only two thoughts are in my head as we move into the light to perform the waltz: Keep your feet on the floor and keep breathing. Ten seconds after our music begins, David and I are boxed in and run over three times by dancers who should know better. We are doing a basic waltz pattern that restricts us to the outer perimeter o f the floor, almost nose-to-nose with judges who nonchalantly click off scores as they

The rest o f the group — the real Silvers — do advanced pat terns that carom around the space. By the time we extricate ourselves the scoring is over. When we do our ending curtsy/bow, our initial fear is replaced by a feisty determina tion not to get bullied in tango, our next dance. (Each competi tion event is made up o f two to five dances, and scoring is based on individual dances as well as on the event as a whole). Tango is a dramatic dance. Couples stalk like crouching tigers across the floor, punctuat ed by sharp direction shifts. When tango becomes competi tive, it is like a jungle out there.

Our performance has improved after our third dance, the foxtrot, and three judges decide were good enough for the Silver semi-final. We end up ranked 12th, not high enough to return but with enough encour agement from the judges to hang onto our dance shoes. By the time we dance our Bronze-level waltz and foxtrot, where we fin ish fifth, we feel like old pros. We even manage to have fun at the afternoon Latin dances, where we earn our best scores o f the day for rumba and cha-cha. Later in the evening, we watch top-level Latin dancers burn up the floor with moves that are so stunningly sensual its hard to believe they’re legal.

Ballroom dancing is growing in popularity; it was even accept ed by the International Olympic Committee as a non-medal sport — technically, the name is

“dancesport.” Some dance con tingents, like those from California and New York, are huge, arriving at competitions en masse in matching warm-up suits and silky jackets emblazoned with studio names. Our Vermont group decides we definitely need T-shirts next year. Seeing us, one participant raises an eyebrow and says, “I didn’t know they even had ballroom dancing in Vermont.” In fact, Vermont has its share o f champions. David and Paula Schneider o f Burlington are senior U.S. Latin champions. Bill and Carolyn Pedrick have Silver and Gold medals in both standard and Latin; and David Schneider (no relation to the other one) and Agnes Liem brought home a Bronze in standard. Joe LaRose and Meg Pedrickcompete at the British Open in Blackpool,^ * England — basically the World Series o f ballroom. These award-winners have all had to overcome the obstacles o f trying to dance competitively in Vermont. We lack elements that are common in urban areas — like a ballroom, for example. Denied access to the University o f Vermont dance studio and the gym at the former Trinity College — which Bobbi renovated as a ballroom before the campus was sold — we go begging for facili ties large enough to practice a long line o f dance. David Larson once resorted to shoving potted plants aside and practicing prom enade in the Burlington Town Center next to Filene’s. We also train without seeing other competition-level dancers. While social dancing thrives here, there’s a huge difference between a Saturday-night get together and the kind o f polish demanded at national and inter national competitions. »

Finding the right instructor can be confusing when there are no criteria for calling oneself a dance teacher and even a certification is no guar antee o f quality. (My advice to new students? Attend a dance and ask the dancers you enjoy watching where they study). A fortunate fluke brought Bobbi Davies, a world-class coach, to the area. She competed at the national and world lev els, owned the School o f Ballroom Dance in Manhattan and taught competitive dancers for nearly 40 years before “retiring” and establishing the Vermont DanceSport Academy, now located in Williston. Bill and Carolyn Pedrick have studied with Bobbi for six years, traveling from Northfield for lessons and drills; gasoline is a major line item in their budget. After enjoying social dances for years, the couple felt they’d hit a plateau. “We wanted to improve as dancers,” says Carolyn. “We knew there was more and we set out to find it. What we found was a whole new set o f goals and opportunities.” The Pedricks also “found” dozens o f awards and medals in the U.S. and Canada. David Schneider started his dancing career when he turned 60. He and wife Paula are now senior national champions. “Over the years, we’ve done everything wrong you can possibly do,” she admits. “We’ve danced off-rhythm; David once walked away in the middle o f my ending curtsy; we’ve stopped and started again; but the quality o f the technique that Bobbi teaches rises to the top, and the judges recognize that.” Indeed, the precision Bobbi demands can be challenging. David Larson is an established instructor, a UVM dance faculty member and a former national champion through the Fred Astaire Studio system, but he needed to unlearn much o f his American-style training in order to start over at the VDA. When I began lessons after a lifetime in modern dance and experience as a swing and salsa instructor, I spent months re learning how to walk. My previous training taught me to use the floor to get up in the air. In ball room, I had to learn how to keep my feet in con tact with the floor as much as possible. I also needed to learn a new kind o f balance. In salsa and American-style ballroom, which includes swing, dancers work in open positions, and one

gobble isr||jgoingf<to bring the partnership crashing haft With international baj&ooM danc ing, once dancers enter a closed dance position together, they do not leave it. The position resem bles a martini glass, with bellies in constant con tact and the upper part o f the body reaching high er than you might think humanly possible. The balance o f the couple, not the individual, is paramount. It is frustrating, difficult and elusive, but once it’s achieved, dancing takes flight. At our competition in St. Paul, we see championship-level dancers accomplish this. In the foxtrot they look like they’re on ice skates; the breeze left in the wake o f their quicksteps sends event programs fly ing. And they seem to defy gravity as ladies in fluttery, feathery gowns and gentlemen in tuxedoes hover a long moment before igniting the waltz. Throughout the competition, after each VDA couple dances, we rush over to Bobbi like chicks to a hen for advice on the next round. She doesn’t mince words. “Well, at least I knew what figure you were doing.” “Good. Now go back and do it again.” “What in the world were you doing out there?” Armed with specifics — “Don’t break your wrist in the tango next time” -— we have at it again. We try to win finalist ribbons, perhaps even medals, but mostly we try to dance the way Bobbi has taught us. In St. Paul, all events lead up to the weekend highlight: the International Standard Champion ship. As a treat for the audience, the announcer invites all 60 couples onto the floor for waltz. VDA teammates Joe LaRose and Meg Pedrick are among them, and we cheer until we’re hoarse. We may not have team jackets or a real ballroom to practice in, but when the announcer says, “Ladies and gentlemen, these are the best dancers in the United States,” we cheer for something we do have: ballroom dancing, even in Vermont.

As p art o f N ational Ballroom Dance Week, Sept. 19-28, Rebecca Brookes, D avid Larson and other area instructors offer free classes to anyone wanting to give ballroom, Latin, salsa and swing dancing a try. Info, 864-7953. For details about N ational Ballroom events in Vermont, call Timna Dulmer at 864-9301 or visit www.geocities.com/usabda-vt. ®

here this season can theatergoers catch a 24-hour playwriting festival, Ovid in a swim ming pool, the work o f an acclaimed Canadian playwright and Eugene O ’Neill’s only comedy? If you answered the Flynn — or New York City — you’re wrong. These are all upcoming offerings from local colleges. Student productions tend to get a bad rap. “Oh, I’m sure the kids are nice and eager and all,” says the theater snob, “but I prefer performers with a little more experienced The snob doesn’t know what he’s missing. College theater programs can be sheer serendipity, promising plays you won’t see anywhere else, top production values, talent on the rise and something else indefinable: an aura o f shared adventure. Here’s a glimpse o f the discoveries in store this season at four area campuses.

I MA G E S AN D Y D U BACK

Pool of Talent: University of Vermont “It’s fresh,” explains University o f Vermont sophomore Jessica Pescosolido. “There’s a youthful exuberance... a certain energy on stage and you can feel it.” Pescosolido is one o f 13 students in Remember the Children: Terezin, the first show in U V M ’s 2003-04 season. She and the rest o f the cast are about to go into a Sunday after noon rehearsal at the Royall Tyler, but first they’ve been asked to talk about what makes a UVM show distinctive. Her answer gets to the heart o f what’s appealing about almost any student show: the students. Guest director Veronica Lopez cherishes their spirit. “I love young actors. They’re not already fixed in their ways,” she says. Their open-hearted attitude should go a long way toward conquering the challenge before them: the collaborative creation o f a theater piece based on poems written by chil dren who were held in the Terezin concentration camp during World War II; only 100 o f them survived. Lopez is incorporating American Sign Language into the production with the help o f interpreters and cast member Laura Siegel, who is hearing-impaired. O f all the college theaters in the area, U V M ’s is the most familiar to local audiences. The school makes a concerted effort to promote its productions to an off-campus audi ence, with a full-time marketing director, subscription packages and an annual studentorganized holiday show, The Toys Take Over Christmas. “The offerings invite a broad cross-section,” says Associate Professor Peter Jack Tkatch, “usually things that are for a wide spectrum o f interests or tastes.” But the lineup o f shows is hardly unsophisticated. In fact, the November production represents a bit o f a coup. Mary Zimmerman’s recent Tony winner Metamorphoses, a retelling o f the myths o f Ovid, will receive one o f its first productions since New York at UVM , under Tkatch’s direction. “It speaks to the spirit,” he says. “I think we need things like that now.”

Metamorphoses is a demanding piece — not least because it requires an on-stage swimming pool. UVM can handle it. The 295-seat Royall Tyler, a gymnasium before it was transformed into a theater in 1969, is a versatile, well-equipped space. And the fac ulty and staff have strong technical credentials; for instance, department chair Jeffrey Modereger worked with legendary Broadway designer Jo Mielziner and has designed sets for theaters throughout the country. Such expertise should come in handy for the university’s spring production, Tina Howe’s The A rt o f Dining. It requires the con struction o f a working restaurant.

It's Not A Jo b ...: Champlain College Considering that Champlain College is known for its career-orient ed curriculum, the fact that its students would spend any time traf ficking in a field not known for job security is impressive. But Champlain also stresses the importance o f extracurricular activities — the school famously cancelled its varsity sports programs last year in order to place more emphasis on intramurals. And, except for a few acting courses, all the theater activity at Champlain is extracurricular. That can be a plus, suggests Dr. Joanne Farrell, artistic director of the Champlain Theatre Company: It means the kids who do take part have to be very dedicated. “They’re taking time away from their major to do this.” Farrell assumed the mantle o f artistic director in the spring o f this year. The job title is new; so, in a way, is her program. For » 30A

many years, faculty member Donald Rowe led what was called the Champlain Players, a stu dent/community group that presented a mix o f classics and popular fare (including, during one season, a pair o f stage adaptations o f James Dean movies). Rowe often directed and occasionally starred, playing such roles as King Lear, and Salieri in Amadeus. When he retired in May, Farrell, who has a background in directing and playwriting and also heads the college s Professional Writing Pro gram, was asked to take over. Her choice o f a new name, Champlain Theatre Company, reflects her hopes for future expansion, including an eventual move into more eclectic fare. But for now she’s carrying on the tradition o f mainstream favorites with a production o f Eugene O ’Neill’s nostalgic family comedy, Ah, Wilderness! The cast is a mix o f students and more mature actors, including a respected name in Burlington’s theater scene: John D. Alexander, who also hap pens to be Farrell’s son-in-law. “One thing I will never do is cast a 17-year-old in the role o f a 30-year-old,” says Farrell. But she has to settle for less than the ideal when it comes to her facilities. Champlain’s Alumni Auditorium space has no wings and no backstage, just green drapes hanging against the walls at the back and the sides. So Farrell’s going for simplicity: period costumes and furnishings, but she’ll leave the rest to the audience’s imagination and the actors’ skill.

Ah, Wilderness! October 1-5. Alumni Auditorium, Champlain College, Burlington. General $12, students $5. Also coming up at Champlain: I Never Saw Another Butterfly, November 13-15, 21 & 22.

Think: Middlebury College Are you getting a been-there/done-that feeling from the play selections at local professional and community theaters? Here a Proof, there a Proof, everywhere a Sylvia? Then Middlebury College might be just the pick-me-up you need. “Were a thinking theater,” says longtime Theater Department Chair Douglas Sprigg. Last season’s lineup included a parody o f government bureaucracy by former Czech president Vaclav Havel. This year’s roster offers more food for thought: Perfect Pie by Judith Thompson, a play wright acclaimed in her native Canada but unfa miliar to most U.S. audiences; Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard-, and Midwives by Vermont playwright Dana Yeaton, a visiting lecturer at Middlebury. All three shows are directed by faculty — Cheryl Faraone, Richard Romagnoli and Sprigg, respectively. Faraone and Romagnoli also run a theater company in Maryland, the Potomac

SEVEN DAYS

Theatre Project, which regularly provides Middlebury students with the chance to get hands-on professional experience. Middlebury s artistic staff is interested in “contemporary design approaches,” says Sprigg; in other words, the visual and aural land scape is as important as the text. And the college has the facilities to make vision a reality. There are two theaters — the 200-seat Seeler Studio Theater (in the decade-old, multi-million-dollar Center for the Arts), and the 350-seat proscenium Wright Memorial Theater, each with its own scene shop. Plus there’s a stu dent-run black-box theater, three tech directors, a tenured set/lighting designer and a full-time costume designer. Middlebury rarely casts from off campus; age-appropriateness is less important than giving the kids a chance to stretch: “We have 20-year-olds playing all our roles,” Sprigg says. But even though he’s careful to make the distinction that Middlebury’s is a liberal arts program, not a pre-professional conservatory, he also points out that his students have had considerable post-college success. Alums o f the program include movie and T V actor Jake Weber (.M ind o f the M arried M an, Meet Joe Black) and T V producer Shawn Ryan, who created the Emmy-winning “The Shield.” “We’re fortunate,” says Sprigg, “in that Middlebury does attract bright, motivated students.” He quickly qualifies, “That doesn’t always translate into acting talent.” But smarts help — especially in an environment in which, as Sprigg explains, “We think o f theater as a tool for education, not strictly entertainment... The issue o f what theater is and what the ater can be gets discussed a lot.”

Like Mike: St. Michael's College J c r more than 50 years, St. Michael’s College has meant “theater” to Vermonters — summer theater, that is. The college has owned and operated St. Michael’s Playhouse, a professional summer stock theater, which has been attracting audiences upwards o f 13,000 to seasons o f light comedy, musicals and the occasional contemporary drama since 1947. But theater doesn’t stop at St. Mike’s when the days get shorter. An undergraduate theater program generates two faculty-directed main-stage productions during the school year and scores o f studentdirected shows around campus. And you can’t beat the price: free. “Free” is a good word to describe the mood o f the school, too. At least that’s the impression you get listening to theater majors Sarah Payson and Kevin Miller as they chat about the program in the 366-seat auditorium o f the McCarthy Arts Center, home to both the summer and academic theaters. “It’s one o f the most open programs I’ve ever encountered,” says Payson, a junior planning for a career in tech or design. Students are welcome to apply to the Playhouse for summer internships which let them work with professional actors and crew. Playhouse co-artistic directors Cathy Hurst and Peter Harrigan are part o f the St. Mike’s faculty, and general manager Chuck Tobin is a regular presence, too. Hurst points to one concrete example o f this relationship’s mutual benefits: In summer 2002 the Playhouse premiered a one-man show by Peter Sampieri (’99), The Georgy, that he’d originally worked on as her student. Both Payson and Miller were interns this past summer. Miller, a sophomore, says it was the best theater experience he’s ever had, but an intense one. The pace o f the academic year is comparatively leisurely. For instance, a seven-month rehearsal period for the spring 2004 production, Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit — it takes time to learn those British dialects! The class o f 2005 began planning for their senior project, Sondheim’s Into the Woods, when they were sophomores — and Payson already has the set designed. Such solid preparation bodes well for audiences. While the act ing may show a little “unevenness” because o f the mix o f majors and non-majors, Hurst says, there will always be “a fundamental level o f honesty” in the work. And, because there’s no pressure to sell tickets, she says, the play choices can be “riskier.” The Novem ber production, Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, is a case in point. It’s not likely you’ll see a Playhouse season anytime soon with dramatis personae like “a deformed god” or “a human woman transformed by Zeus into a heifer,” character descriptions from an audition flyer for the Greek tragedy. And if Greek gods don’t appeal, there’s always the 24-hour play writing festival (details below). Or maybe you should get tickets now for Into the Woods — it already feels like a hit.

Prometheus Bound, November 12-15; Blithe Spirit, March 3-6, McCarthy Arts Center.

A kindred spirit is evident in Flemings unique brand o f multi-media performance that critics have described as “part sculpture, part dance, part dream.” Picture Pilobolus meets Sankai Juku. Not surprisingly, Fleming finds much o f her material in myths and archetypes. A VEcho writer observed, “Maureen Flemings nude body yields all o f its aspects in a series o f motions and contortions, telling the story o f a universal being, beyond mman. Her new piece is loosely based on the myth o f Hagoromo, as told in an ancient Japanese play. Described as a feminist response to terrorism, Decay o f the Angel is also a cross-cultural collaboration. It incorporates flower arrangements by Gaho Taniguchi, film and images by Lois Greenfield and music by Philip Glass. — Paula Routly

He’s German-born, she’s African-American and they call their kinetic collaboration “movement-theater discourse.” Indeed, the sixtysomething husband-and-wife team sure has a lot to say about cultural politics — together and as individuals. In Berlin, Hellmut studied under Expression-ist dancer Mary Wigman. He’s got a solo piece about the history o f the Olympic games in Germany. Brenda moonlights as a critic. Her latest book is The Black Dancing Body: A Geography from Coon to Cool. In a three-day residency at Middlebury College, the Gottschilds talk, teach and team up to perform Tongue Sm ell Color, which takes on large issues o f race, gender, nationality, memory and guilt in the intimate arena o f a single couple.

F ID D L E D E E D E E Mark O ’Connor crosses genres as easily as chickens cross the road. That the Nashville native is variously called a Fiddler or a riplinist hints at tJie mix: -riorn bltii^tals and £opntry to classical ant&eont4mporary chamber music and, somewhere in the middle, jazz. Celebrated for his stunning collabora tion with bassist Edgar Meyer and cellist Yo-Yo M a (the Grammy-winning Appalachia Waltz) and for numerous solo compositions, O ’Connor has also contributed to soundtracks for television and film — most recently Gods and G&nerals — .and has worked with dance troupes. Devoted to music edu cation, he also contributes his talents to camps and conferences in Tennessee and California. N o wonder critics can’t find enough accolades for the guy. O ’Conftor’s rootiness can be traced to his old Texas mentor, Benny Thomasson, but he learned to swing alongside a master, Stephane Grappelli. His 2 Q0 1 tribute to the French violinist, H ot Swing!, echoes Grappelli’s legendary perform ances with guitarist Django Reinhardt in the Paris Hot Club group. So it’s no coincidence that the bassist for O ’Connor’s recording and his current trio is Jon Burr — the last bassist to tour with Grappelli, who died in 1997. On guitar is Frank Vignola, whose own chops recall the Django style. That spirited, Gypsy-influenced music from the ’20s and ’30s in France is, says Flynn Artistic Director Arnie Malina, “one o f the tributaries o f jazz.” It has yet to wear out its welcome anywhere in the world. Expect a virtuosic flow from the brilliant O ’Connor and his bandmates when he opens the Flynn season next month. Will it swing? M ais oui. — Pamela Polston

In popular music, it was the name o f the 1970s quartet featuring Mahavishnu Orchestra axe-man John McLaughlin and Indian tabla master Zakir Hussein. The band’s blend o f jazz and classical Indian music was ahead o f its time: The quartet’s albums were hardly hot sellers. But Shakti’s innovative East-meets-West approach helped open popular Western music to “world music” elements. Twenty years after Shakti disbanded, McLaughlin and Hussein are back together again. With their original drum mer and violinist replaced by percussionist V. Selevaganesh and U. Shrinivas on mandolin, they now go by the moniker Remember Shakti. Blistering British guitarist McLaughlin, who’s credited with convincing Miles Davis to incorporate sitar and tabla, turns elements o f traditional ragas into searing, infectious riffs. Bombay native Hussein, who played at age 7 with Ravi Shankar, has provided classical Indian rhythms, or taals, on projects by the likes o f Van Morrison, Tito Puento, Jack Bruce and Mickey Hart. True to classical Indian musical tradition, Remember Shakti offers extended jams built on meditative themes and variations, and lightning-fast exchanges. Thoughtful, energetic and gorgeous, the quartet’s sound doesn’t just remind us o f shakti. It embodies it. — Ruth H orowitz

PERFORM INGARTSPREVIEW

M O NEY TALKS What is the greediest thing you have ever done? What is a lie you tell your self about money? For the past three years, in workshops and interviews across the country, Marty Pottenger has been asking Americans intimate questions like these as part of Abundance, a community arts per formance project co-commissioned by the Flynn. The responses form the “spine” o f a multi-media, five-per former piece with music by Terry Dame and choreography by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar (of Urban Bush Women) that addresses a subject at once intensely private and unavoidably public: our daily, individual experiences o f money. Pottenger hopes that through these stories people will more clearly recognize that “we are all bound together in an economic partnership.” One place that may actually be happening? Our town. “Burlington’s one o f the few places I got to do in terview s.P otten ger says, “where economic issues get to be part o f community conversation. In the economic equity race, Burlington is learning how to walk. And as a com munity together, rather than this group way over here who hates that group way over there.” Pottenger came to the Flynn once before with City Water Tunnel #3, an epic one-woman show drawn from interviews with the New York City hard hats and bureaucrats working on the largest public-works project in the Western hemisphere. She has found people to be more comfortable talking about the work they do than the money they make doing it, because money is still “a landscape o f confusion, mystery, fear [and] ambition.” — D avid Warner

“sublime ambassadors o f the Pan-Latin tradition.” The paper compares Rosi’s crystalline voice to “clean spring water: It’s smooth, its clear, and somehow you come to believe that it’s necessary for life.” Combine that beauty with Brian’s innovative interpretations o f traditional songs, rich original compositions and sumptuous Spanish guitar stylings, along with the spicy synergy o f the accompanying instrumentalists, and you have an exuberant, exhllarating ensemble M known to bring audiences to their m i* :, jm m l.

H IG H -T E C H H E R O IN E When Laurie Anderson arrived on the music/performance scene more than 20 years ago, she was hailed for her use o f technology to create some mighty weird sounds, including the eerie distortion o f her own voice. Her live concerts were amazing — not simply a display o f mind-boggling technical prowess but a total melding o f her humorous, poignant, very human sensibility with all that gizmos had to offer. Ahead o f her time then, she must find that technology has finally caught up with her wildly creative ideas. Her last appearance in these parts, though, was surprisingly stripped-down — a stark, haunting med itation from this New Yorker on 9/11 and its aftermath. The stage set and visual effects were minimal and black-clad Anderson fittingly more somber and philosophic. It’s anybody’s guess what she’s up to now — and it’s always worth finding out. Whatever it is, it won’t be quite done in January, when Anderson arrives at the Hop with a “new work-in-progress.” Still petite, dimpled and spiky-haired, the composer/violinist/techni cian will speak “with oracular clarity to a society often overwhelmed by chaos,” suggests the Hop’s brochure. Adds Programming Director Margaret Lawrence, “We’re given to understand that this one will have a little more o f the tech nology and visuals Laurie is known for.” Anderson is the first recipient o f NASA’s new artist-in-residence program — in which “artists get nearly unlimited access to the scien tists” in the space program, Lawrence explains. “One o f the things that interests her is that sci ence and spirituality are a lot closer than you’d think.” A post-Colum bia exploration o f the soul? Sounds right up her alley. Anderson will no doubt find the 500-seat Moore Theater a cozy venue in which to use her vocals and elec tronics, as the Chicago Reader put it, “as instru ments o f intimacy, conspiracy and seduction.” — Pamela Polston ■d

OUT In 19 5 ^ British composer Benjamin Britten suffered a stroke that left his right hand paralyzed. When he complained tjiat he was no longer physically able to write out a full orchestral score, a friend suggested he write a string quartet instead. Though nearly 20 years had passed since he’d last written in that format, he took the advice. The resulting Third Quartet was Britten’s last major composition. Completed in Venice, the work is based on Death in Venice, Britten’s operatic adaptation o f Thomas Mann’s novel about a middle-aged writer’s doomed infatuation with a beautiful, young boy. The piece evokes the sound o f water lapping the sides o f gondolas, the manic burlesque o f menacing street musicians, the pathos o f the pursuer’s unrequited “I love you,” and the chiming o f Venetian bells. Britten’s Taunting soundscape is featured on a January program by the Belcea Quartet at Middlebury College. The up-and-coming London foursome played all three Britten string quartets two years ago at Wigmore Hall in a concert commemorating the 25th anniversary o f the composer’s death. Led by Corina Belcea, with Laura Samuel on second violin, vio list Krzysztof Chorzelski and Alasdair Tait on cello, the quartet began wowing European critics within a few years o f their formation in 1994. They took first place at the Osaka and Bordeaux International String Quartet Competitions in 1999. Two years later, they nabbed the Gramophone Award for best debut album. Royal Philharmonic Society com poser Simon Holt, who worked with the Belcea in 2002 , said, “ ...they were dev astating. It’s one o f the best quartets I’ve heard, complete ly unified, and yet they take risks.” — Ruth Horowitz

If you’ve never heard o f the California E.A.R. Unit, it may be because they’ve spent most o f their 20 years on the West Coast. But the ensemble-in-residence at the Los Angeles County Museum since 1987 occasionally ven tures out to tour the world, too — including a weeklong stopover at the Hop this winter. Guess they get tired o f all that sunshine/ Composed o f six masterful musicians, the E.A.R. Unit employ the conventional clarinet, flute, piano, percussion, cello and violin in the pursuit o f highly unconventional sounds. Electronics help, o f course, but innovation and a fierce dedication to new music are behind what critics call their “aural alchemy.” No one has come up with a better label than “new music” for the kind o f compositions E.A.R. performs — their own or works commissioned for them — though the San Francisco Symphony offered the apt “New and Unusual” for one music series. Wildly eclectic, adventurous, unfettered and off-kilter, the stuff is not for everyone. A piece called “Girlfriend,” for example, garnered this description from the L.A. Timer. “An unexpectedly delicate, rhythmically compelling sample patchwork, the piece combines screeching tires and intimations o f a traffic calamity with droning, mournful chords in the live music component.” Composers and players o f new music do seem to have one thing in common: virtuosity. The individ ual members o f E.A.R. are no exception, with so many solo credits and projects that it’s hard to see how they have time to be a Unit. Like the Kronos Quartet, the group “bravely brings new music to the pub lic year after year,” says Hopkins Programming Director Margaret Lawrence. This time they’ll be tack ling a brand-new composition by a virtual homie: Tae Hong Park, who graduated in 2000 from Dartmouth’s Electroacoustic Music Program. — Pamela Polston

So the oppressed Africans made music using whatever they could get their hands on: a wooden crate for packing fruit evolved into the cajdn; the cajiM is a small, lidded box used for col lections fln C h o l i c chur£i*es; even dead donkeys played a part in the percussion. The jawbone, known as a quijada de burro, made a mean makeshift shaker. Forget the soaring sound o f the Andean pan flute. The African music o f Pern is much more down-to-earth — and you can dance to it. Peru Negro have been on the black music beat since the ensemble formed more than 30 years ago in Lima. 7 :, Founder Ronaldo Campos de la Colina set out to preserve a vital aspect o f Peruvian culture with performances that incorporate colorful costumes, indige nous dances and poetry passed down through generations.

Y E A R S IN T H E M A K IN G Vermont Stage Company will celebrate an important milestone this year — its tenth anniversary. Coincidentally, the company’s most intriguing offering o f 2003-04 also has to do with a significant chunk o f time. In Glen Berger’s Underneath the Lintel, a Dutch librarian’s discovery that a book has been returned 113 years late leads him on a worldwide odyssey to determine the identity o f the delinquent borrower, who may or may not be the legendary Wandering Jew. Though the Off-Broadway production o f Lintel had the misfortune to open right after 9/11, the script’s combination o f idiosyncratic humor and cosmic scope charmed critics. Now the play is showing up on regional stages, not least because it calls for only one actor and one set. V SC seems to have the right actor for the job: its own artistic director, Mark Nash, who this summer convincingly portrayed another obsessive individual in The Boys N ext Door at St. Michael’s Playhouse. It was Nash’s wife, play wright Kathryn Blume, who first suggested that Lintel's librarian-turned-detective would be a “great role” for him. Nash does recognize some parallels: “I’m very detail-oriented — and when I’m curious about some thing I follow it up to the nth degree.” That stick-to-it-iveness should prove helpful, and no doubt has helped V SC reach its first decade. Note: The company celebrates its tenth on Sept. 20 with Vermont Fiction Live, in which the likes o f Ally Sheedy and David Lansbury will read from the likes o f Julia Alvarez and John Irving. — D avid Warner

PHO NE HOME Next time you dial a toll-free number to reserve a rental car or order a sweater, lis ten very carefully to the operator at the other end. He or she is likely to come across as just some ordinary Jane or Joe from around the block who follows the same sports teams you do, worries about the same weather and watched the same episode o f “Temptation Island” last night on TV. What you’re not likely to assume is that the person on the line actually lives thousands o f miles away, in Bangalore, India. That city’s number-one industry is staffing call centers for American companies. The job requires extensive training: Workers must not only adopt American accents but also learn local slang and current topics o f conversation. They even create entire fictional personalities for themselves, all to convince consumers in the U.S. that they’re dealing with someone just like them. Factor in the nine-hour difference between the Eastern Time Zone and East India, and the cultural disconnection is even more surreal. Aladeen brings the story o f these workers and the cross-cultural connotations o f their industry to the stage. Produced by The Builder’s Association, a New York-based contemporary theater-installation company and London’s new media-performance collective motiroti, the work is based on a documentary film shot at a South Asian job training center. Using live actors, video feeds, projections o f computer screens, computer-generated graphic effects and ticker-tape commentary, the one-act, hightech docu-performance piece examines one o f the odder products o f globalization. For those who have trouble reading the message in the medium, a question-andanswer session with the producers, and discussion about outsourcing at Dartmouth’s Tuck Business School, bring it home. — Ruth H orowitz

O U T O F A F R IC A Last year when Baaba Maal and his band debuted an acoustic tour at Joes Pub in New York, it was without the kora — an airline snafu held up the stringed instru ment in baggage while the musicians went straight from airport to gig. The kora player sang instead, and all six mem bers performed an energetic, joyous 90minute set that belied their jetlag and left the audience rapturous. Such is the enthusiasm o f both band and fans when this Senegalese superstar takes the stage. Surpassed in fame and popularity only by fellow countryman Youssou N ’Dour, Maal is the new voice o f African music both in spirit and in social consciousness — perhaps the reason he was chosen for 2 001s Blackhawk Down soundtrack. With keening, commanding vocals and formidable skill on guitar, Maal combines his comprehensive knowledge o f indige nous styles with modern elements o f funk, reggae and rock — though he insists that rap-like sound in the music is tasso, a traditional Senegalese form. The son o f a m uezzin — the caller to prayer — Maal has deep Muslim roots that come through in his hypnotic polyrhythms and folk melodies. Like many international artists, Maal has successfully integrated diverse contemporary sensibilities into his sound, yet he’s remained proudly faithful to tradition. His current acoustic tour reflects this, a fed: that Flynn Artistic Director Arnie Malina finds exciting. “World music has become so generic and infused with rock,” he suggests, “that the beauty o f the original music is diminished. To be able to get this music in an acoustic vein, with more o f the integrity o f traditional sounds, is really special.” Maal has notoriously parted with the old ways in other respects, however. He broke a barrier by becoming a musician in the first place, as he is not from the griot caste. In addition, he’s outspoken on issues facing modern Africa, specifically AID S, the changing rojes o f women and the need to settle old tribal conflicts. “ Baaba Maal is awe*y spiritua^rtidp says Maltha. And that’s $ftat he looks like, in his bearing and his humanity.^ — Pamela Polston

‘C O R D ’ C H A N G E S Describing the dramatic/acrobatic/comedic antics o f Australia’s Umbilical Brothers leads quickly to con tradictory concepts. “I wanted to bring mime into the 1990s, but I wasn’t sure how,” explains David Collins, deadpan. “The.answer was sound.” The duo mimes with sound effects, all emitted by Shane Dundas, to anarchic, cathartic effect. Dundas is the man with the mike, and the one “without the curly hair.” Collins supplies most o f the show’s physical tomfoolery. From all reports, such hilarious props as exploding dogs and humiliating puppets can cause people to wet their pants. In fact, you rqay want to go ahead o f time, since the brothers are known to badger audience members who leave for the loo. “THW AK” is the latest in a run of award-winning shows that Time maga zine calls “fast, inventive, cheerfully crude and wittily self-aware.” The Umbies — as they’re affectionately known by fans worldwide — have cut loose in cities from Sydney to Singa pore, all to overwhelming acclaim. Well, there have been a few excep tions; their Web site notes they were . booed off the stage at Woodstock, “to the strains o f ‘You suck!’ and ‘What the fuck is this shit?!”’ Nevertheless, the generally credible New York Times declared somewhat cryptically follow ing the pair’s performance in the Big Apple, “their symbiosis becomes your catharsis.” The bros are sure to hit the Flynn and Hop stages with a bang. Or at the very least, a thwak. — Karen Shim izu

BAD BOYS If you were wondering what the future o f the jazz trio might look like, this could be it: The Bad Plus. Even the name tells you there’s something au courant about pianist Ethan Iverson, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer David King — and no, it’s not a hip-hop fusion. Their appearance suggests post-grunge, and the trio does play a wicked arrangement o f Nirvanas “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But, hey, they also cover Blondie, Coltrane, The Police and Abba. G o figure.

The Bad Plus are getting ink like “furiously bold and skillful” and “breathtaking improvisations” not just for their novel choices o f other peoples songs; they are fearless composers, too. Critics named their Columbia Records debut, These Are the Vistas, one o f the top jazz records o f 2002. With its august authority, D ownbeat declared T BP the #1 Rising Star acoustic Jazz Group the same year. But o f course it’s the playing that’s got the jazz world buzzing. The Wisconsin-born Iverson — the for mer musical director o f the Mark Morris Dance Company — is a pianist with genre-hopping creativity, known for his personal mix o f minimalism, wild free-jazz, classical phrasing and pounding exuberance. Anderson and King, both from Minnesota, earn their own share o f praise. After a London performance last February, a Guardian reviewer called Anderson “a, decisive player with a big tone,” comparable to Charlie Haden; King, he wrote, is “nothing short o f a percussion phenomenon,” a “tornado o f a player. ” Exciting stuff, that. And no wonder T BP are called “the loudest piano trio ever.” Yeah, they’re bois terous and youth-oriented, agrees Flynn Artistic Director Arnie Malina, who saw the trio at this sum mer’s Montreal Jazz Festival. “But there are some more subtle things — impressionistic, classical, a wealth o f musical composition — in addition to being a very hard-driving, punky band,” he suggests. Perhaps these three best friends from the Midwest put it best, calling their musical mission “a party, a vigil, an attack craft, a landmass.” That must be the “plus” part. — Pamela Polston

B AC H TO BAC H The music o f Bach is hard not to love — and easy to find locally this season. In the northwestern corner o f the state, the Vermont Mozart Festival dedicates its winter program to the German composer. Four different concerts feature works for harpsichord, flute and voice, and an evening o f theme and counterpoints from “Art o f the Fugue.” An all-Baroque Christmas program places Bach in context alongside Vivaldi, Scarlatti and Corrette. These Burlington-area offerings are sure to please musical purists. In April, an all-Bach Hopkins Center concert by the Hilliard Ensemble takes a more controversial approach. The vocal supergroup is known for its seamless blending o f voic es and its daring pairings o f very contemporary commissioned works with very early music. Three years ago, the Hilliard teamed up with superstar Baroque bow-man Christoph Poppen in a project based on alleged melodic connections between Bach’s Partitas for solo violin and his chorales. The resulting ECM recording, M orimer, topped the classical music C D charts for weeks. The New York Times called the disc “everywhere engaging and at times truly sublime.” Adds Programming Director Margaret Lawrence o f the Hop, where the Ensemble and Poppen are performing the work, “It got into people’s blood.” For optimal acoustics, the concert takes place in Dartmouth College’s stone, 300-seat, 200-year-old Rollins Chapel. “Even if people don’t agree with the theory,” Lawrence suggests, “it’s a beautiful evening o f Bach.” — Ruth H orowitz

T H E FA C E O F F A D O Fado is just creeping into the North American consciousness, but the Portuguese have loved it forever. “A cross between the blues and flamenco singing,” says Hopkins Programming Director Margaret Lawrence, it has a “beautiful and throaty, dark, poetic quality.” Indeed, fado is generally the lyric o f longing, unrequited love and romance. Though the genre is traditional — a staple o f cafe and street entertainment — a new gen eration o f singers has come along to claim it. And no one is quite as big a fado sensation as Mariza. Think o f a M adonna born in Mozambique and raised in Portugal, clad in dramatic, romantic dresses and with short, tightly crimped hair that recalls flappers o f the 1920s. Mariza’s voice, trumpets Billboard magazine, is “a gorgeous, evocative instrument... [and] her performance is nothing short o f a genuine revelation.” Traditionally a lot o f guitars accompany a fado singer — no less than three will be on stage with Mariza at the Hop next spring. Their playing is bluesy, sometimes mournful, always pas sionate. With Marizas emotional depth and mesmerizing allure, she’s set to be the fadista known well beyond the smoky clubs o f Lisbon. Critics and fans alike declare her the new crown princess o f fado, following in the footsteps o f its queen, Amalia Rodrigues. Gushed one BBC commentator: “When Mariza sings, time stands still... When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her, caught in her trap.” Sounds like a nice place to be captured. — Pamela Polston

With two large rooms, a wrap-around upstairs dining loft and a secluded, open-air patio, Parima is a huge space, all of it adorned with intricate woodwork and Asian art. On Wednesdays, diners can swing to the sounds of the Pine Street Jazz Ensemble, often featuring vocalist Johanna Lawrence. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays fea ture area bands and DJs. Some events transform the space into a hopping club. And, due to competition from busier bars at the other end of downtown, Parima discounts prices on cocktails.. Smoking is not allowed.

CAPITAL SO U N D S:: Washington, D.C., has long been known in the music world for birthing Dischord Records and the art-punk sound of bands such as Fugazi and Minor Threat. The latest litter of scenesters keeps alive the spirit of punk forefathers while adding a catchy, danceable twist.

Q and Not U (pictured), Black Eyes and El Guapo make spastic post-punk that rocks and rolls with unmistakable flair. This Saturday, the boys of Dischord come to town for an early, all-ages show at Club Metronome.

D a n c e D e m o n s t r a t io n by David Paris From New York City

SEVENDAYS *1 September 10-17, 2003 I music 53A* *

r e v ie w th i JOE BASS, UNEMPLOYED (Self-released, 3-inch CD) This goofy little three-incher is hard to characterize. There aren't really any songs with words, and the tracks themselves seem more like soundtrack bits for the in-between parts of, say, "Home Improvement," or maybe for the animated cartoon version of "Garfield." There's some really intricate bass playing and funky keyboard sounds, and the compositions themselves are pretty good. There's just not a lot to cling to. Production-wise, this is a clear, crisp recording with a warm bass sound and a lazy, relaxed feel. "Moving Day" is probably the best track here, featuring the welcome addition of Karen McFeeters on vocals and Dr. Patricia Julien on flute. Good sounds and solid instrumental performances throughout — and even a poem, "September 23," read by author Bethany Bradley. I like poetry and supporting poets, so Joe Bass gets extra bonus points for that.

(Self-released, CD)

COLIN CLARY

PAUL BRADY, THE PAUL BRAD Y SONGBOOK (Compass Records, CD) Irish musician, vocalist and songwriter Paul Brady has spent a good part of the last two decades establish ing a solo career, proving that there is a musical life after singing lead for one of Ireland's greatest tradi tional combos. Brady's tenure with Planxty, and his later work in a duo with Andy Irvine, made his fame but marked him as a trad singer. He wanted more and struck out as a singer-songwriter. Brady's voice is no longer the high and reedy instrument that it was dur ing his ballad days with the Johnstons and Planxty in the 1 9 6 (M M :3 (iS . How it c$nvey#more gutsiriEI smoky soul. Many of the songs on The Paul Brady Songbook, a 2002 Compass Records release of his originals, have a driving rock beat, a horn choir and a rhythmic band leader's timing. It brings to mind some of Van Morrison's best work. Brady will make a rare local appearance at the Barre Opera House on Saturday, September 13.

FLATSTANLEY

FLAT STANLEY, f

Vergennes sextet Flat Stanley have been rocking the area for a couple years with infectious, high-octane ska-punk. With a pair of guitarist/vocalists, a trio of horns and a fittingly energetic drummer, the band has an invigorating take on an old genre that just won't die. And its members are barely out of high school. Winners of the 2003 Buzz Homebrew High School Band Search, these kids clearly don't let their tender age hold them back. On their seven-track disc, they blast through tunes that rock with angry-young-man passion and bounce with a hip-shaking skank. As is often the case with rebel rock — think Sex Pistols or Sum 41 — geography plays a key role for the band. "Vergennes Dump City," as Flat Stanley lovingly refer to their hometown, no doubt fuels their angst. But the band doesn't focus entirely on whining about how shit their town is; Flat Stanley commit most of their lyrics to the equally inspiring topic of teenage love. "Far Away" kicks things off with a distorted guitar crash and rapid-fire riffing. The horns kick and the track mutates into raging, high-speed ska. The tune lays the framework for the rest of this 20-minute album. "Gently" slows things down a bit with a slinky groove — the tender love song is more Specials than Bosstones. "Sick" rides a loping Caribbean beat and passionate sing-along chorus. "Find the Time" is a highlight. The opening harmonies and spastic jangle can get any listener hopping around the room. "Carnie" sports a dizzying bass lick; "Summer Nights" incorporates blaring organs; and "Quite in the Corner" closes with one of the disc's head-spinningest melodies. Flat Stanley blend angst and romanticism in enjoyable tunes that bubble with devil-may-care enthusiasm. The kind that can only be found in a batch of bored suburbanites. Score one for Dump City.

EXHIBIT"The Road Not Taken": Contemporary multi-media works, videos, photographs, sculptures, paintings and drawings by seven Japanese artists. Flynndog, Burlington. Through September. ARTW ORK

"Untitled," by Midori Harima PHOTO

Marc Awodey

he 2003 South End Art Hop this weekend has placed artists from all over the state in dozens o f venues around Burlington’s South End. The Flynndog has brought in artists frpm the other side o f the globe. For “The Road Not Taken,” Vermont artist Emiko Sawaragi Gilbert invited five Japanese artists — Midori Harima, Takayuki Ogawa, Misato Oka, Makoto Ishiwata and Kohsuke Iizawa — and Japanese-American artist Osamu James Nakagawa to exhibit with her. Each artist has developed a unique and engaging personal approach that sets him or her apart from more traditional painters, sculptors and photographers. Hence, they all have ventured down “the road not taken,” as borrowed from Robert Frosts legendary poem. Photograms are also known as Rayograms because the technique was developed by American surrealist Man Ray. Photograms are produced by sim ply placing an object on photo paper and exposing it to light. Ogawa’s “Beyond the Mirror” series consists of life-sized, self-portrait photograms. Other objects such as X-rays and plants are also included in Ogawa’s haunting imagery. Videographer and installation artist Oka presents large-scale photographs and videos including “Lost Passion,” a film in which images o f ghosts seem to float over cities. A less seriously mind ed “Untitled” video consists o f folded currencies from various countries that seem to be smiling or frowning. Okas photography in the equally irreverent “Choosing Portrait” is a panoramic shot o f a queue o f dolls, cartoon char acters and various tchotchkes that looks like a casting call for weird fig urines. Two fascinating interactive installa tions have been reproduced for “The Road Not Taken.” Ishiwata’s “Vacuum Packing” originally appeared in Tokyo and received the prestigious Kirin Art Award. It places brave visitors in a vac-

Participants wear a helmet that enables them to breathe. Installation artist Iizawa captures the sensual effects o f water with his project “Deep ’03.” In a darkened chamber, he has suspended a large pool o f water visitors can walk underneath and touch. Their interaction creates different visual effects as light passes through the water. “Deep ’03” seems to turn a traditional Japanese reflecting pool upside down. Harima, an installation artist based in Tokyo and San Francisco, produces powerful, realistic sculptures made from paper. She built a room in the gallery for her “Untitled” Flynndog piece and placed eerie forms, including the effigy o f a dead fawn, in an exag gerated false perspective within the room’s interior. Photographer Nakagawa was born in New York City and holds an MFA from the University o f Houston. His series “M A — between the past” inte grates strips o f home movie film with images fj»m a family suitcase full o f mementos discovered upon the death o f Jus father. The images speak o f both /

a particular family’s history and more universal themes expressed in the con text o f the Japanese-American experi ence during the mid-20 th century. “Glory” includes professional baseball images that could be from either coun try; “Retrieve” is a rigid family portrait with figures standing beneath the striped, rising-sun flag Americans iden tify with Japanese militarism and the movie Tora Tora Tora. Like Harima and Nakagawa, Gilbert has a duel cultural identity. She first moved to the United States in 1976. Today she lives in both Plainfield, Vermont, and Kyoto, Japan. Her “Neah Bay” is a 3-by-12foot panorama o f three large abstract drawings based on an emotional experience she had while visiting a coastal cliff in Washington State. In her artist’s statement, Gilbert describes the feeling as “standing at the edge o f nothing.” Burlington is fortunate to benefit from Gilbert’s achievement in organiz ing “The Road Not Taken.” Open beyond this weekend’s South End Art Hop, it is definitely a must-see — and must-experience — exhibition. ®

oly crap. That should’ve been the tag line for writer-director Brian Helgeland s new supernatural thriller, perhaps the most punishing public entertainment since Christians were fed to lions. The director o f the medieval romp A Knight’s HO LY Tale, Helgeland is most noted as the Academy Award-winning author of the CRAP screenplay for L.A. Confidential. He also Ledger gives penned the script for Clint Eastwood’s a mumbly upcoming Mystic River, a film rumored performance to be a likely Oscar contender. So you as a conflicted don’t expect to find yourself watching young man of mumbly, ill-defined characters utter the cloth. third-rate Led Zeppelin lyrics such as “He delved in secrets dark and deep” in the opening of one of Helgeland’s pic tures. But, surprise, you’re in for non stop nonsense here, and worse. Heath Ledger plays a young priest undergoing a crisis of faith: He doesn’t believe in speaking up so the audience can hear him! OK, that’s not what his crisis of faith is about, but he does do an r# ungodly amount of mumbling in this movie. He’s brought to Rome to look into the mysterious death o f a fellow priest (the one who did the dark, deep delving) and, like any young clergy brought to Rome to look into a mysteri ous death, he’s accompanied by a saucy minx who has the hots for him. Shannyn Sossamon costars as a young woman who’s had a crush on Ledger — I’m not making this up — ever since he performed an exorcism on her. Ledger’s character evidently has taken a vow of one-dimensiojjality,

though, because he’s as oblivious as a wooden Indian to her love vibes and spends most of his time chatting with morgue attendants and Mark Addy (TV’s “Still Standing”) in the role of a couch potato of the cloth who’s devoted his life to comic relief. Many of the .scenes shared by Ledger and Addy are constructed with a jawdropping lack of care. In one, Heath encounters a pair of demon spawn in a graveyard and is nearly knocked into the next world by them. At the last second, he succeeds, with the help of what appear to be some old Black Sabbath lyrics, in transforming them into hun dreds of tiny, computer-generated birds, which take wing. Yet Heath fails to mention the encounter to Addy when he happens by a moment later. Making an addled scenario even harder to follow is the fact that Helgeland has given his story two bad guys without taking the time to properly flesh out either one. Peter Weller plays a calculating Cardinal with an evil scheme to make himself Pope. The German actor Benno Furmann is a character called the Sin Eater. When people who’ve been excommunicated or are committing suicide are about to die, he provides the service the Church denies them: He hears their confessions, allow ing them to enter the kingdom of heav en with a clean slate. Unlike a priest, however, the Sin Eater achieves this by absorbing their sins. You wouldn’t think there’d be a lot

of demand for that sort of thing in this day and age, but the guy has grown fab ulously rich doing it. The problem is, he’s 600 years old and ready to retire. He wants Ledger to take over for him and he isn’t especially good at dealing with disappointment. That, believe it or not, is the crux of Ledger’s crisis of faith. On one hand, he believes deeply in the tenets of the ancient, unmodernized Church. On the other, he believes he might just enjoy having a private jet and a saucy girlfriend. It’s a ridiculous premise for a motion pic ture. Even more preposterous is the fact that the director resolves the plot in such a way as to set the stage for future install ments chronicling the exploits of the Sin Eater — as if he were a superhero in some moody graphic novel. No need for that. This is the last we will be seeing of the Sin Eater. Anyone who sees The Order is going to have minimal interest in seeing more, and Brian Helgeland, I suspect, is already anxious for the day when everyone will have forgotten about this dimwitted debacle. Religion and horror have proven a potent combination in the past. How ever, with its hokey dialogue, stick-fig ure characters, glacial pacing, ho-hum effects and mumbling, this is a far cry from The Exorcist or The Omen. Those were unforgettable stories of Christian ity’s dark flipside. The Order, in con trast, is little more than a God-awful mess. (Z)

German director, cinematographer and editor, spent a year following Golds worthy all over the world. The celebrated “environmental artist” uses the planet’s detritus as his medium. The projects he painstakingly crafts on camera include a web o f twigs, a chain o f leaves stitched together and floating in water, a circular hive o f driftwood and an egg-shaped cairn o f stones. For the most part, these beautiful out door assemblages are meant to be tempo rary. They tend to be destroyed by gravi ty, heat, wind or rain. Goldsworthy’s goal is always to devise “a tangible thing that is here and then gone.” His specialty is ephemera. The rising sun first illumi nates his constructed arch o f icicles, then relentlessly melts it. This process delights Goldsworthy, who loves watching the “earthworks” slowly succumb to the ele ments. “These are moments that I just live for,” he confesses. Spontaneity plays a big role in each effort. At their home in rural Scotland, Goldsworthy’s wife asks: “What are you going to make today?” He has no real answer for her. However, Reidelsheimer continually coaxes him to explain his process and nuanced connection to nature. “We misread the landscape when we think o f it as pretty,” Goldsworthy says at one point, while fashioning a mat on the ground from toxic bracken. “There is a darker side.”

Environmental activism's darker side comes across in B e tr a y in g R e a so n , a Canadian feature that screened at the recently concluded Montreal World Film Festival. Writer-director Lili Schad, now a Vancouver resident, grew up on a farm near Toronto and lived in Vermont dur ing the early 1990s.

At the time, she had decided to take a year off from a promising but draining business career. “I moved to a house in Moretown,” recalls Schad, now 43. “Well, a shack with no toilet.” She was no impoverished waif, though. In 1953, Schad’s father, Robert, founded Husky Injection Moulding Systems and invented the snowmobile. . You might say powder is in his daughter’s blood. Her ties in the Green Mountain State were mostly on the slopes. “I teamed up with my old skiing rat pack,” she says, referring to friend ships formed during visits to the M ad River Valley every winter. Through one o f those pals, “local hero” Johnny EagafiV she hooked up with Warren Miller o f skimovie fame. When he was at Sugarbush, Schad signed on as his still photographer. “We traveled Every where doing these documentaries,” she remembers. “Yugoslavia, Turkey, Roman ia, Russia.” That sojourn in the former Soviet Union convinced Schad to return there ' in 1993 to shoot her own sports doc, starring Eagan and other noted Vermont skiers. F ire a n d Ic e depicts their expedi tion to climb up and ski down an active volcano in Kamchatka — a remote region where no Westerners had ever ventured, according to Schad. “We were on the cusp o f the extreme-skiing move ment,” she adds. After Fire and Ice toured the festival circuit and aired on TV, Schad relocated to San Francisco to hone her filmmaking skills. She worked on social-issue docu mentaries. L e t th e R iv e r R un is a 1998 ecological tour with the late David Brower, founder o f the Sierra Club. The same year, M a v eric k s captured the irre sistible lure o f surfing a monster wave in H alf Moon Bay, California. Betraying Reason is the fateful story o f a young man, Reason Boles, who has a cabin on family land where loggers are cutting down the old-growth trees. He tries to sabotage their pillage o f the woods, finding inspiration in Black Bart, the leg endary bandit responsible for robbing >' more than two dozen Wells Fargo stage coaches with an empty gun in the 1870s. When a pretty woman and her little daughter become stranded on his property, Reason’s loner lifestyle is disrupted.**' Schad’s next planned venture, I n to th e F o rest, is based on the popular 1996 Jean Hegland novel. It’s a postapocalyptic tale about two teenage sisters who survive despite drought, fire, famine and plague raging elsewhere. “As the world crumbles around them,” Schad says, “they learn to build a new civilization.” O K, but will they be able to ski?

FAIR THEE WELL In these quickly changing tim es, Vermonters can still count on the Tunbridge World's Fair. Now in its 132nd year, the agricultural exhib i tion got its name in 1870, when Lieuten an t Governor Burnham called it the "little world's fair." The event once featured girly shows and rowdy drunks. Today m ostly fam ilies turn out to w atch harness racing, ox and pony pulling, and a parade of pigs, sheep, cows, horses, goats and chickens. The Ed Larkin Contradancers strut th eir stuff in period costum e, but not ju s t because it's the "year of the contradancer" — they've been a fair fixture since 1932, proving th a t some thing s never change.

TUNBRIDGE WORLD’S FAIR Thursday, September 11 Saturday, September 13, 8 a.m. midnight & Sunday, September 14, 9 a.m. - midnight. $5-9. Info, 889-5555.

HAMMERHEADS Neighbors helping neighbors, like the barn-raisings of old, is the Am erican sp irit in actio n . This weekend volunteers throughout the country grab hammers and p aint brushes w ith a common goal: to modify and restore the homes of elderly and disabled persons and low-incom e fam ilies. Rebuilding Together, a W ashington, D .C.-based nonprofit, has been "fixing houses and rebuilding lives" since 1988. In Burlington, do-gooder doc tors and businesspeople jo in forces w ith carpenters and plumbers to build a ramp for a disabled fam ily and in sta ll windows, fix a leaking roof and refinish kitchen cab in ets in th e home of an elderly woman. Local board member Cliff Deetjen is astounded each year at how contagious lending a hand is. "We're not ju s t helping a fam ily," he suggests, "we're helping the entire neighborhood."

Well, yeah...especially when that man’s killed everybody’s lawns, trees, flowers and shrubs by accidentally fertilizin’ ’em all with a military-grade vegetation killer.

Can’t argue with that...and judging by the sounds of those shotgun blasts and chain saws, that lynch mob’s getting fairly close.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A study

VIRGO

phase o f your life, the soft seats would provide the greatest comfort, but the most interesting and educational events would unfold in the hard seats.

by psychologists at the University o f Sussex in Great Britain has found that taking part in protests, demonstrations or strikes is good for you. Interviews with activists revealed that participants experi enced a deep sense o f happiness and even euphoria by being involved in such events. By my astrological reckoning, this will be especially true for you Aries in the coming weeks. If you haven’t already found a constructive channel for your rebellious mojo, start searching now.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): You’ve heard o f passive smoking, which occurs when the burning cigarette wastes o f smokers snake into the lungs o f inno cent bystanders. Now scientists at the Beauty and Truth Lab have identified a phenomenon they call second-hand depression, wherein victims inadvertendy absorb the misery and cynicism o f people who are spewing out negative emotions. You Cancerians must be especially careful to protea yourself against that contami nation in the coming week. You can’t afford to be poisoned by the lazy blather o f out-of-control naysayers. Why? Because you have an astrological mandate to nurture optimistic perceptions and articulate loving strategies that uplift everyone whose life you touch.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): “Both Picasso and T.S. Eliot are credited with saying, ‘Good artists borrow, great artists steal,”’ notes music critic Peter Gorman. “Credit it to Picasso and it comes across as bravado, a declaration that great art comes from those who appropriate whatever they damn well please. Credit the quote to Eliot and it seems more like word play; to borrow is to imitate and give back, to steal is to make it one’s own.” Study these tricky assertions about the creative process, Taurus. They should incite provocative meditations as you negotiate a turning point in your relationship with your own fertility.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): On an episode o f the T V science fiction show “Stargate SG -1,” friendly aliens called the Asgards come to Earth seeking help from the top-secret government agency with whom they’ve had a working rela tionship. It seems the super-intelligent, highly evolved Asgards have reached a dead end in their ability to fend off their mortal enemy, the Replicators. They hope their dumb allies, the humans, will be able to find some elementary solution that they themselves are too smart and complicated to think of. The idea works. One o f Earth’s top physicists, a simple ton by Asgard standards, dreams up a crude but effective plan. Let this be a teaching tale for you in the coming week, Leo. Trust innocent, uncluttered, amateur solutions.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Trains in China are divided into two dif ferent sections: soft seats and hard seats. “The soft seats are usually where you find the richer, stiffer, better-educated people,” reports Charlotte Temple in DoubleTake magazine. “In the hard-seat section, it’s like a little village. Everyone is eating watermelon seeds, playing games, leaning out windows to buy from the dumpling sellers.” I bring this up, Gemini, because it’s an apt metaphor for the choice you now face. As you travel on to the next

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 Dec. 21): For almost 60 years, Simon Wiesenthal tracked down Nazis responsi ble for the Holocaust. His most famous catch was Adolf Eichman, but he also brought more than a thousand other war criminals to justice. He recently retired. “My work is done,” the tireless 94-yearold crusader said. “I found the mass mur derers I was looking for. I survived all of them.” I hereby appoint Wiesenthal to be your role model, Sagittarius. The astro logical omens suggest that the coming months will be a perfect time for you to home in on a passionate, righteous com mitment that will fuel you for years.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O a. 22): “You’re only given a little spark o f mad ness,” says Robin Williams. “You mustn’t lose it.” His advice is especially apt for you now. To aid your efforts, here are tips on how to keep a healthy level o f insanity, by librarian Bonnie Wolf. 1. When peo ple ask you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. 2. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim. 3. As often as possible, skip rather than walk. 4. Finish all your sentences with “in accordance with the prophecy.” 5. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer. 6. Page yourself over the inter com. Don’t disguise your voice. 7. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down. 8. In the memo field o f all your checks, write “for sexual favors.” 9. When the money comes out o f the ATM, scream “I won! I won! Third time this week!”

DISCO VER

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The ozone hole is shrinking and will recover. Current human life expectancy, already at age 84, is steadily increasing. Since 1993, the violent crime rate in the U.S. has decreased by 50 percent. The number o f America’s black elected offi cials has sextupled since 1970. The planet is steadily becoming more free: 89 demo

SCORPIO

(O ct. 23-Nov. 21): A few years ago the astronomy magazine Sky & Telescope held a contest to replace the name “Big Bang,” which many scientists regarded as too frivolous. This week I pro pose that you Scorpios carry out a compa rable project: Find a new name for the Divine Intelligence. The terms “God” and even “Goddess” have been so abused and overused that we’ve all become numb to them. And given the spiritual opportuni ties that will be opening up for you in the coming weeks, you can’t afford to have an impaired sensitivity towards the Great Mystery. Here are a few ideas to whet your imagination: Blooming HaHa, WhirlZap-Gush, Sublime Cackler, Primal Jokester, Cosmic Wow, Eternal Crucible.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The largest meeting o f world religious leaders in history was virtually unreported by the media The top-secret event transpired in 2002, when leading representatives from every major faith gathered in Italy. They issued a “Decalogue for Peace,” which denounced violence committed in the name o f God and religion. It also declared, “We commit ourselves to those who suffer poverty and abandonment and who have no voice.” The media deemed many other stories more impor tant than this unprecedented break through, like Mike Tyson getting his box ing license, John Walker Lindh making a court appearance, and the Enron hearings beginning. I bring this up, Virgo, because a comparable marvel is unfolding in your own life, and you haven’t noticed it yet.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You have done without it long enough, Pisces. This state o f deprivation can’t go on. Up ‘til now there’s been a certain value in you not having the stuff you’ve been aching for, but as o f now its continued absence would begin to have a soul-shriveling effect. Therefore, on behalf o f cosmic forces, I hereby authorize you to take all necessary steps, as long as they’re ethical, to get the goodies. You may even resort to the desperate pleading that kids use on their parents to get a beloved treat at the grocery store, including: “I promise to be good,” “I’ll never ask for anything again,” and “I N E E D IT!!!!” ®

Specializing in:

M A S S A G E

18): In the coming week, Aquarius, you’re in danger o f seeing with your imagination rather than with your eyes; you’ll be tempted to trust the power of your beliefs more than the evidence of your five senses. It is possible to avert that fate, however. To assist you, I’m happy to provide this curmudgeonly prod from journalist H.L. Mencken: “An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.”

The following is a preliminary list of the specific matters that the Board anticipates investigating as part of the Docket:

Notice of Investigative Docket RE: Investigation into Developing Cleanup Plans for Stormwater Impaired Waters - Docket No. INV-03-01 On September 5, 2003, the Water Resources Board (Board) issued an Order opening an Investigative Docket pursuant to Water Resources Board Rule of Procedure (Rule) 7. The purpose of the Docket is to cre ate a forum for discussing the tech nical issues related to developing cleanup plans for waters of the state impaired by stormwater in Vermont The intended outcome of the Docket is for the Board to gen erate a Discussion Report that sum marizes the technical information submitted as part of the investiga tion and, if possible, provide rec ommendations for developing cleanup plans for Vermont's stormwater impaired waters based on the technical information exchanged as part of the Docket

1. Is it scientifically feasible to develop and implement a WIP or other cleanup plan that is based primarily on source controls for Vermont's water bodies that are impaired as a result of stormwater and that provides reasonable assur ance that the receiving waters will comply with the VWQS within five years or within any definitive peri od of time? If so, what are the ele ments of such a plan? 2. What tools are available to predict how aquatic biota in impaired waters will respond to implementation of treatment and control measures for stormwater discharges? In the absence of such tools, how can a dedhup plan for stormwater impaired waters be developed to provide reasonable assurance of compli ance with the VWQS?

3. What are the appropriate physical, chemical, and biological targets to be used to demon strate attainment of VWQS? Should or can meaningful interim targets be used as milestones? If so, which tools are appropriate and in what drcumstances to demonstrate progress toward meeting the final targets?

7. What are the scientific and technical opportunities and difficulties in developing and uti lizing Offsets to address stormwa ter impaired waters?

The initial public meeting on this investigation will be convened on September 24, 2003 at time and location to be announced. The purpose of the initial meeting is to establish ground rules for the investigation, discuss the sched ule for the investigation and to begin the substantive discussion of the matters to be investigated. Any individual who requests the opportunity to actively partici pate in the Docket will be noti fied of the time and place of the meeting. The Docket may consist of several meetings and will be closed on or before November 27, 2003 unless at the final meeting the Board finds there is cause to extend the Docket.

Individuals or entities who wish to actively participate in the Docket must notify the Board of their desire to do so in writing on or before September 16, 2003. To actively participate, these entities must provide technical experts who are qualified to address the matters to be investigated. Requests to actively participate shall include a list of the techni cal experts and their qualifica tions to address the matters to be investigated. The Board may deny an individual or entity the right to actively participate in the Docket if the Board determines that the individual or entity will not he able to provide the techni cal expertise necessary to address the matters to be investigated.

4. How should cleanup plans address the impacts to stormwater impaired waters from both natural and manmade conditions such as eroding banks, rechannelization, riparian zone encroachment on stream ponds, and other factors that are the result of geomorphic insta bility in these waters that will con tinue to occur and adversely affect aquatic biota regardless of reduc tions in stormwater discharges? 5. Is it scientifically feasible to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Vermont's water bodies that are impaired as a result of stormwater? If not, why not? If it is scientifically feasible to develop a TMDL for such waters, is the TMDL the most effective approach to cleaning up Vermont's stormwater impaired waters? If it is not scientifically feasible, what alternatives are there?

Any questions or filings regarding the Docket should be directed to the Board through its Executive Officer, Jon Groveman at the National Life Records Center Building, Drawer 20, Montpelier, VT 05620-3201 (802-828-3355 or jgroveman@envboard.state.vt.us).

6. If it is not scientifically pos sible to provide reasonable assurance that impaired waters will be restored to compliance with VWQS, what should the poli cy of the state of Vermont be with regard to developing cleanup plans for stormwater impaired waters? At what point, if ever, should Vermont lower the designated uses, classifications and/or water quality criteria for the water bodies if there is no reasonable assurance that these waters can, be managed to meet the existing VWQS?

GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WORLD

Blimey.

I k S t ost motorcars,” observes Ian Fleming in his timeless | [ * J book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, “are conglomerations (this is the long word for bundles) o f steel and wire and rubber and plastic, and electricity and oil and gasoline and water, and the toffee papers you pushed down the crack in the back seat last Sunday.... “But some motorcars — mine, for instance, and perhaps yours — are different.” I had the distinct impression recendy, as I was chitty-banging about town in Land Rovers latest Discovery, that the dearly departed Fleming was broadcasting some telepathic urge to influence the shape o f my opinions about this curious vehicle. Land Rovers bread-’n-butter SU V is the automo tive embodiment o f everything most imperially — and imperiously — British. For some, the Discovery is the perfect fashion accessory for Wellies and tweed. For others, it is a confounding conglom eration — bundle, if you will — o f new and old technologies baled eccentrically together. You’ll know where you stand as soon as you first shut the door o f a Discovery. It’s like slamming the gate o f a sheep fold in the Cotswolds — to my lights, a most satisfactory sensation. But it is a sensation decidedly unlike the muffled click o f a truly modem vehicle — particularly if that vehicle costs a comparable $40,000. This is because, at root, the Discovery is the direct, scarcely evolved descendant o f the inde fatigable trucks with which Brits once scoured their empire. How else to explain the following: front and rear solid axles with long-travel coil springs; thirsty, torquey V8 power, full-time, dual-range four-wheeldrive; generous ground clearance resulting in polevault entry heights. These are the uncompromising qualities o f an off-road machine that does not suffer obstacles patiently. They are also, if viewed rationally, the very over-qualifications that render the Discovery such a marginal choice for civilian chores like commuting and running errands. Alas, rationalizing one’s way through the roman tic aura o f a Discovery is hard to do. The creamy leather upholstery, with just the right touch o f con trasting leather piping at the seams, smells evoca tively like a Cadbury chocolate-covered caramel slightly soft from the sun.

steering wheel feels not so much like a driver’s seat as the helm o f an intrepid little sloop-rigged yacht. On city streets, the Discovery doesn’t so much drive as careen, much as an open-sea craft maneu vers awkwardly in harbor waters. It’s not that Discovery feels top-heavy; despite appearances, its center-of-gravity is quite low owing to its very heavy, even keel-like, steel frame. But the full-time four-wheel-drive system noticeably binds the front wheels and reduces turning radius. Sail out beyond the breakwater, on the other hand, and the Discovery comes into its own. A

high- and low-range transfer case combines with a four-speed shiftable automatic transmission and electronic traction control to conquer even the most daunting off-road challenges. M y favorite feature is Hill Descent Control, which integrates compression braking o f the engine with automatic braking o f individual wheels to control hairy downhill runs. With its seating for five, plus cargo room for 41 cu. ft., the Discovery can get a very respectable load * o f people and things quite far from home and back again. Cargo swells to 63 cubes, in fact, with the rear seats folded. Anyone without the requisite stiffness o f upper lip, however, will eventually yearn for a softer, plusher ride no matter how lame the off-road capa bilities. Anyone with kids or short legs will eventu ally begin fantasizing about hopping into and out o f a lower-riding vehicle without benefit o f a rope ladder. But for anyone with even a drop o f Anglophilia in the blood, for anyone who can scarcely conceive o f an expedition without a mad dog and an Englishman along for the ride, Land Rover’s Discovery is not only the perfect choice, it is posi tively the only choice. ®

LOLA

the lo ve c o u n s e lo r

Dear Lola, When I thrust deeply into my girlfriend during intercourse, I feel as if the tip of my penis is hitting some sort of obstruc tion. From my end the sensation is only a minor annoyance, but it can cause her severe discomfort. Besides the acute pain at the moment of impact, it sometimes leaves her with menstruation-like cramps. In addition to not wanting to hurt her, I'm concerned that this might indicate a bigger problem. She's shy about talking about this stuff. What should I do? Worried in Williston Dear Worried, Most likely your girlfriend's cervix — the opening of her uterus — is tipped at an angle that puts it directly at the back of her vagina. When you collide with the cervix, the entire uterus moves, causing the cramping sensation. The fact that you're aware of this problem is great. The first thing you can do about it is try altering your position. Putting your girlfriend on top will not only alter her angle but also let her determine the depth of your thrust. Beyond that, you should also encourage her to see her doctor to rule out something more serious, such as a prolapsed, or dropping, uterus. . Love, Lola
