Correction: In last week's story, "High-Class Glass," we referred to the artistic glass wares sold by several Burlington retailers as "bongs" and implied that some customers may be using these "tobacco art pipes" to smoke a different sort of weed. We apologize for any confusion our story may have caused. questio

What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you in snow? I started my car to warm it up, got out to brush it off and locked my keys inside. It took so long to get my car open that it ran out of gas! — Victoria Klim Member Service Rep. Maximus Burlington I scooped up a layer of freshly fallen snow when I noticed that the bulk of my snowball was freshly fallen dog s**t! So glad I had mittens on! — Cat Elwert Administrator for Tall Paul's Tall Mall Montpelier Sledding at night through the woods... super fast, out of control, tree branches slapping my face, bouncing back and forth on the sled. Hitting a big jump I didn't know was there, then nothing... blackness. A brief feeling of being up in the air backwards and upside down and moving at tremendous speed, then nothing again. Coming to my senses crumpled at the base of a tree, shivering cold, realizing that I had been unconscious for quite a while. Made a vow never to sled alone again.

TIME TO SAY THE "I" WORD? Peter Kurth hit the proverbial nail on the head with his chilling and thought-provoking article, "Fired Up" ["Crank Call, August 14]. Peter Freynes comment that "George W. Bush is the greatest threat facing the democracy known as the United States of America" says it all. Add to that Mayor Clavelle's embarrassment in South Africa over George Bush's absence, then multiply by all the other articles of concern appearing around the country, and it's obvious that Bush doesn't care what we think. It's also obvious that he's not listening to Colin Powell, the only man in his Cabinet with the courage of his convictions. George Bush is so singleminded that he's willing to suspend our rights, compromise our integrity as a nation and cause incredible chaos and loss of life both here and in the Middle East. With this in mind, a nasty word has crept into my thinking lately — impeachmen^. — Laurie Sheridan Burlington

SEVEN DAYS

FUELING TERRORISM In a recent speech given at St. Michael's College, Thomas Freedman ["7 Selects" Sept. 4) referred to our dependence on oil as something akin to a drug addiction. It's an analogy that works well... Many people say that to raise our gasoline prices or to boycott the oil-producing countries is irrational and would cause more suffering for us than for the oilproducing countries. That's half true. It would hurt us both economically and in our comfort level. However, it would deprive continued on page 15a

BREAK T H E CHAINS Thanks to Peter Kurth ["Crank Call," Sept. 11] for reminding an increasingly linguistically void culture of the roots of its attitudes and opinions in relation to language and popular usage. Far from coming across as a cantankerous lit-snob, Kurth yet again manages to tear back the veil of tyrannical thought-speak to reveal the mechanics of language and its actual effect on our collective behaviors. I find that his fearless examination of history betrays an appropriately tuned-in observer of our shared present. Please, Seven Days constituency, re-read the definition of fascism Mr. Kurth printed in his last editorial. Then, cut it out and paste it in a conspicuous location, like your bathroom mirror. Perhaps by having to confront such an obviously ugly similarity between our governments actual methodology and the aforementioned definition, more of us will gain the needed

bravery to attempt existing outside of the stimuli-response system of consumer conditioning and the pseudo-patriotic glibness that so many in this country have recently fallen prey to. I believe that with personal effort we can silently break free of these chains and wait patiently until the point when the current system finally proves itself to be nothing more than an example of poor engineering bordering on despotism. We can't really beat them any other way. I am just looking forward to having a handful of true freedom-loving folks around when the time comes to pick up the pieces of a long-broken American dream. — Casey Re a Burlington

NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION What would contestants do on your reality show?

LET'S HEAR FROM SOME ADULTS I read Seven Days every week, generally for news about the local music scene. Sometimes, I read the Op-Ed pieces. I do not read Seven Days for political opinion, though I must say the September 11 issue was a real piece of work, politically. It became quite obvious that, for instance, Mr. Kurth ["Crank Call"] does not know the definition of fascism and Mr. Colby ["Left Field] embraces only a child's view of geo-politics. I frankly cannot tell if Mssrs. Hazen, Moses and Chaudhry ["Ch-ch-ch Changes"] understand the U.S. Constitution and were just kidding or are simply ignorant of the Fourth Amendment. However, since no changes to the Constitution have been made recently, I infer that the Fourth Amendment is indeed intact. And what can be said about Mr. Ralls piece ["Beating Around the Bush"]? I am quite certain that this gentleman knows that the FBI, not the Pentagon, is in charge of this investigation. I know he knows that all the families have heard the flight recorder tapes of the last moments of Flight 93. However, with regards to his comments about the Pentagon, I notice that nowhere in his piece did he deny that he gunned down President Kennedy.

Curses, Foiled Again

enough to sit in. Fifty people share a kitchen and bathroom. T h e latest estimate is that 10,000 city residents pay $100 a m o n t h for a cage room.

Authorities in Warren County, Ohio, charged Lois English, 47, with receiving stolen property after she rented a UHaul truck in California the year before but never returned it. A co-worker contacted police after noticing that English regularly drove the rental truck to work. "The co-worker had worked at U-Haul before or something like that," county prosecutor Tim Oliver told the Dayton Daily News. "One thing he knew is that U-Haul didn't rent vehicles out so that people could go to work every day."

What's My Line? Brian Root, 44, makes his living entering contests that require contestants to keep their hands on an automobile. Root told the Wall Street Journal that since quitting his job as a produce manager in a health-food store in the mid-1980s, he has won or tied for first in 16 hands-on contests, collecting about $160,000 by selling the cars and trucks he claimed as prizes. Root, who lives with his mother in Mobile, Alabama, attributes his success to his vegetarian diet, wearing sunglasses (they unsettle his opponents) and his sidekick, Paul Rathe, who tends to Root's needs during breaks in exchange for a cut of the winnings. "I've never really liked working, doing the 8-to-5," he said. "I knew it would give me the freedom to go to the beach." H e added that his long stands — up to 225 hours — are "like a spiritual experience. Your mind goes to places it's never gone before. You see a part of yourself you never see otherwise."

Hole of Dreams After a $170,000 facelift five years ago, a natural pothole at Pennsylvania's Archbald Pothole State Park was opened by officials who hoped it would become the attraction it had been in the early 20th century. Instead, officials admitted, the 42-foot-wide, 38foot-deep hole has become a prime location for trash dumping, vandalism and loitering.

Nobody Here But Us Chickens H o n g Kong officials reported that financial problems are forcing more people to move into so-called cage rooms, which consist of a bed in an enclosure that is barely high

Waste Not, Want Not In September 1986, the cargo ship Khian Sea left Philadelphia hauling 14,855 tons of ash from one of the city's municipal trash incinerators to a manmade island in the Bahamas. Before the ship docked, however, the Bahamian government changed its mind and turned the ship away. According to the Washington Post, over the next two years, at least 11 countries on four conti-

enabling the ash to be shipped back to the United States. Five states and the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma refused to take it, however, so it sat on a barge in Stuart, Florida, until this summer, when it was accepted by a private landfill in Upton, Pennsylvania, which is only 120 miles from where the waste's 16-year odyssey began. "It was generated by Pennsylvanians," said Dennis Buterbaugh of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental

Protection, "and we feel it's only proper that it should be disposed of in Pennsylvania."

Italian priests at a church in Milan noticed that a young South American couple had become regulars and spent an hour each visit sitting in front of a M a d o n n a statue before silently departing. T h e priests assumed the couple was seeking spiritual guidance until a cleaning person noticed an electrical cable behind the statue, Closer examination revealed the visitors were using the electrical outlet used to light up the M a d o n n a to charge their cell phone. Parish priest Don Antonio Colombo said the couple would not be barred from the church, telling the Corriere della Sera newspaper that "letting them charge their mobile phone is a bit like giving them a glass of water."

Holding a Grudge

No Pulitzer Prize Here

Hava Rexha, who turned 122 in August, making her the oldest woman in Albania, said that her one regret was her marriage in 1894. She was 14 and said she was forced to marry a man who claimed to be 30 but was "about 60 and married twice before." Adding to her misery, he didn't die until 1950.

New Jersey's Trentonian newspaper published a story about a fire at a state psychiatric hospital. T h e story was headlined "Roasted Nuts." Copy editor Tony Persichilli apologized for the headline, which was not only insensitive, but also technically inaccurate, since none of the 450 patients at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital were injured.

was all set this week not to

mention the Bush administration and whichever country it is around the Tigris and Euphrates that our government intends to flatten, o but events got a hold of me. Really, they did. I looked 0 hard, for other news on which to spin a bit of punditry. There's that Bad M o m in Indiana, for example, who was filmed punching the lights out of her little girl in a parking lot. Apparently, Bad M o m was miffed because she wasn't given a cash refund for a couple pairs of jeans. I can understand her frustration, if not her action, but I don't see a whole column in it. Bad Mom herself has the situation well in hand. "I know I hit 1 Martha and I knew I pulled her hair, and I * shouldn't have did A either of it," Bad M o m said Monday on C N N ' s "American Morning," her very first talk-show appearance. She is "horrified," "mortified," "sick to [her] stomach" that such a thing could have happened. Such a thing has never happened in Bad Mom's family before. Bad M o m is fully prepared to take her lumps: "There would be no excuse in the world why I did it." Bad M o m has a very smart lawyer. Her lawyer is smart enough to enter a plea of not guilty with the explanation that it's just "a formality." He's also smart enough to inject a little multiculturalism into the proceedings by announcing that his client is a member of the Irish Travelers, known in the bad old days of prejudice and stereotyping as "Tinkers." In the bad old days of prejudice and stereotyping, the stereotyped image of the Tinkers might well have been compared to the stereotyped image of the Gypsies. They are, in any case, a close-knit and itinerant people, and they don't make very good witnesses in court. This is why Bad Mom's lawyer needs to add, "I feel very confident that I can reach a plea bargain with the prosecutor for probation, as I have a very delightful client. She's smart, she's intelligent, and she's just a tremendous mother." O n e way or another, she won't escape the moral

judgment of a wrathful nation. Unfortunately, this thought brings me right back to the Bush administration and that particular part of Mesopotamia it intends to vaporize, if necessary, in the name of "full spectrum dominance." It brings me back because this wrathful nation's moral judgment is increasingly reserved only for pathetic, isolated cases like a Bad M o m . Because if you're really angry about child abuse, you have to be angry about war. And I don't think enough of you are. I leave it to you how you navigate your way around

ue with this thread. Like Bad M o m , the Governor just wants to come clean. H e wants to "apologize to the people of Kentucky for [his] failure as a person." He's already apologized to Judi — that's "Mrs." Patton — after lying to her first, when the whole sordid tale erupted in the press. "My first response was to deny my unfaithfulness to Judi," is how Patton puts it. "I was wrong. T h e denial was another mistake." As to Mrs. Conner, in no way, under no circumstances, never, ever did the Governor or anyone in his administration "try to punish her" when she told him to

take a walk. Well, there I was back again with Bush and what is now called, with all reverence, the Bush Doctrine — the right to the "preemptive strike." I hope that isn't classified information. But it seems to me that the press used to go "full-spectrum loony" on politicians like Gov. Patton, oily hypocrites with their pants o f f — whatever. It seems to me that the full might of corporate media was recently employed in the effort to unseat a president over a junior-league land deal and some misaimed semen in the wash. And it seems to m e . . . But this i n h e r e I turned to Samuel Johnson, a kind of Founding Father for writers. "In a time of war," Johnson said, "the nation is always of one mind, eager to hear something good of themselves, and ill of the enemy. At this time the task of news writers is easy; they have nothing to do but to tell that the battle is expected, and afterwards that a battle has been fought, in which we and our friends, whether conquering or conquered, did all, and our enemies did nothing." Which is why I didn't want to write about it. ®

"full-spectrum dominance," a phrase out of Orwell. A new defense document, "Joint Vision 2020," defines this as the ability and the right of the United States — anywhere, for any reason, with or without provocation — "to conduct prompt, sustained and synchronized operations with combinations of forces tailored to specific situations, and with access to and freed o m to operate in all domains — space, sea, land, air and information." "Joint Vision 2020" scared me so much that I turned to the scandal-plagued Governor of Kentucky, Paul Patton, who last week "tearfully admitted" at a news conference that he'd h a d ' an improper relationship with a western Kentucky nursing home operator who is suing him for sexual harassment," a woman the Governor pointedly calls "Mrs. Conner." In the South, it's not always easy to tell the difference between good manners and lying, and for all I know Gov. Patton, by emphasizing the "Mrs." in Mrs. Conner, is subtly undermining the reputation of a married woman who was once — well, for two years — d u m b enough to have sex with him.

Trickle-Down Theory T

he commodification of water is shaping up to be one of tomorrow's hot-button issues. It seems every day brings another story of water shortages, droughts and skirmishes among the haves and have-nots. In fact, the dichotomy between the world's dry and wet areas is so bad that Ismail Serageldin, the vice president of the World Bank, has declared, "The wars of the next century will be about water." If that's the case, Vermont could come out looking a lot like the Saudi Arabia of water. With a low population base, abundant sources of clean groundwater and major metropolitan centers within trucking or piping distance, Vermont is literally awash in what many are beginning to call "blue gold." Long considered a human right and natural resource, water is increasingly viewed as a product. Bottled H 2 0 is touted as the fastest-growing segment of the "beverage" industry, as evidenced by its aggressive adoption by such behemoths as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Sales of bottled water have skyrocketed from a tiny industry in the 1970s to a $22-billion-a-year bonanza today. In the fascinating new book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World's Water, authors Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke spill forth some start-

ermont Pure could be well-positioned when it comes to future corporate interest in the state's "liquid assets." ling facts about the state of the world's water supplies. They report that global consumption of water is doubling every 20 ye^rs and more than one billion people currently lack access to fresh drinking water. If current trends persist, they argue, "the demand for fresh water is expected to rise by 56 percent more than is currently available" by the year 2025. Potential scenarios are troubling when you consider many of the world's governments, like Canada, have already started allowing global corporations to begin monopolizing fresh water supplies'. "Experience shows that selling water on the open market does not address the needs of the poor, thirsty people," write Barlow and Clarke. "On the contrary, privatized water is delivered to those who can pay for it, such as wealthy cities and individuals and waterintensive industries." While no corporations are coming forward yet in Vermont to propose pipelines that would siphon our water to Boston or New York City, bottled-water corporations are springing up throughout the state. The biggest by far is Vermont Pure Springs, a Randolphbased water corporation that grossed nearly $70 million last year by packaging water from a single Vermont spring. According to Bruce MacDonald, chief financial officer at Vermont Pure, the corporation is expected to bottle 40 million gallons of water this year alone.

"We're the eighth-largest bottled-\$fter corporation in the U.S.," boasts MacDonald. "And we're always looking for more spring sites in Vermont." Vermont Pure's expansion plans have recently stirred up controversy among neighbors who object to the truck traffic and noise that would be created by the v^****^ mmmm additional production. But more harmful effects relating to Vermont Pure's extraction and commodification of water are its potential impact on groundwater sup9tt89B MftM Stt plies and aquatic life in the streams and stream-fed rivers. The Agency of Natural Resources only recently began watching Blaisdell Brook, Vermont Pure's corporate water source. "It took a while to get a good monitoring system in place," the ANR's Brian Fitzgerald told Seven Days, noting that low water levels in the brook forced several halts in production this summer. From 1993 — w h e n Vermont Pure began bottling water — until 2001, the brook essentially went unchecked. BY No one is MICHAEL suggesting that Vermont Pure COLBY is breaking any rules. It's just that there don't seem to be many rules controlling it. Barlow and Clarke report, for example, that the bottled-water business is among the "least regulated industries in the world." And, given the world water situation, Vermont Pure could be well-positioned when it comes to future corporate interest in the state's "liquid assets." It would be wise for Vermonters to heed the warning from Barlow and Clarke and begin grappling with the thorny issue of protecting our water resources. If, as they suggest, water flows uphill to money in today's world, we could all wind up high and dry.

On September 10, the Vermont Department of Agriculture announced that the egg farm's application to expand by 135,000 chickens was complete and the public had 10 — yes, 10 — days to file comments with the department. Even if you did manage to slip in under their tight deadline, it doesn't appear ag officials will be giving the comments much of time. Ag Commissioner Leon Graves announced that he'd be making his decision on the application by.Qctober 9. v *• Plans to continue with the $160-million Circ highway hit a snag earlier this month when an official with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requested an update on the project's 16-year-old environmental impact study.

icture this: The November 5 governors election results in an unexpectedly close finish between Republican Jim Douglas and Democrat Doug Racine, with Douglas nosing ahead of Racine by less than one percentage point. And because independent candidate Con Hogan got 10 percent of the vote, Douglas has failed to capture a popular majority. Under the Vermont Constitution, the outcome must be determined by the members of the State Legislature elected in November. Frenetic closed-door politicking takes place in the two months leading up to a January showdown in the 180-member General Assembly, which has an almost equal number of Republicans and Democrats. When the lawmakers' secret ballots are counted, the spectating public is stunned to see that Douglas and Racine are tied 9090. And so the presiding officer, Vermont's lieutenant governor, gets to cast the decisive vote. But in this case — because the November election for lieutenant governor did not produce a majority winner, either — the presiding officer is the still-incumbent lieutenant governor: Doug Racine. He proceeds to, in effect, elect himself governor of Vermont — even though the people of the state have cast more votes for Douglas. The news media call it "a crisis of legitimacy." Many factors make such a scenario far-fetched. Racine, for example, has promised that he will not contest in the Legislature a vote in which he finishes second. Douglas has given no such assurance. But the Constitutional mechanics do allow it. Such a blatant miscarriage of democracy is, in theory, entirely possible in Vermont.

T h e will of the citizenry, as expressed at the polls, can be — and has been — frustrated in less outlandish ways. Since Vermont became a state in 1793, the General Assembly has decided the outcome of more than 70 statewide races. O n about half a dozen of those occasions — most recently in 1976, during contest for lieutenant governor between T. Garry Buckley and John Alden — legislators chose someone who had not received the largest share of the popular vote. Nothing so weird as a RacineDouglas tie is required in order for that to happen. The Constitution allows lawmakers to vote for whomever they wish in complete secrecy. Some may ignore their own party affiliation and vote the way the largest number of Vermonters did on election day. Others might prefer to base their choice on the outcome of the popular vote in their own legislative district. And a few might act on a purely partisan basis, supporting the candidate of their respective party — and to hell with the voters. Polls suggest that no candidate in either the governor's or lieutenant governors race is likely to win a majority this year on November 5. That means there's some chance — small, but hardly infinitesimal — that one or both those offices will be awarded to a candidate who finished second, or even third, in the popular vote. Most Vermonters appear opposed to a system under which 180 politicians, rather than 300,000 or so voting citizens, have the final say in elections involving three or more strong candidates. In a poll recently conducted for Vermont Public Radio, 52 percent of respondents disapproved of vesting such power in the State Legislature, while only 32 percent approved. At least three local political scientists and

one scholar of the Vermont Constitution don't think much of the current set-up, either. "It's a travesty," declares Bill Grover, a political science professor at St. Michael's College. "The framers of the Vermont Constitution didn't envision a three-party system. But that's what we've got now in this state and that makes it likely the legislature will regularly be deciding who wins and who loses elections. That's not very democratic." Eric Davis at Middlebury College and UVM's Frank Bryan also favor reforms, though neither condemns the current procedure as strongly as Grover does. Bryan, for example, notes that in a parliamentary system, elected legislators always get to choose who becomes prime minister — "and no one calls parliamentary systems undemocratic," remarks Bryan, the author of several books on Vermont topics. But there are good reasons to insist that top officeholders in Vermont must earn a majority, not just a plurality, and it should be up to the people, not their elected representatives, to produce that majority, Bryan adds. To Davis, the legislaturedecides-it provision of the Vermont Constitution is an anachronism. "It reflects a time that's long gone — the time before there was broad popular participation in politics." In fact, Vermont appears to be the only state in the country whose Constitution retains such a clause, according to Peter Teachout, a constitutional expert at Vermont Law School. And like the political scientists, Teachout thinks a different system should be adopted. Trouble is, the Green Mountain State's Constitution is also one of the hardest in the country to amend, notes Vermont state archivist Gregory Sanford. Efforts to change the document

assae

can be blocked right a r t h e s t a r c by no more than 11 of Vermont's 30 state senators. ^J ; r:„::..r . As the first step toward revising the Constitution, two-thirds of senators must endorse a proposed amendment. Next, the House must approve the proposal by a simple majority. Then, a two-year election cycle must be completed before both chambers have to vote once again to endorse the same proposed amendment. Finally, the matter goes before the Vermont electorate in a statewide referendum. Not surprisingly, Vermont's Constitution has been amended fewer times than any other states, Sanford says. Some advocates of alternatives to the current system say that their particular approach may require only passage of a law, not a Constitutional amendment, in order to take effect. But it seems unlikely that legislators would cede one of their powers embedded in the Vermont Constitution without insisting that the document itself be changed. Proponents of reform favor various solutions to what they all regard as the problem of allowing the legislature to pick winners when no candidate for governor, lieutenant governor or state treasurer gets at least 50 percent on Election Day. Middlebury's Davis, for instance, would like to see the electorate choose among the top two vote-getters in a runoff election to be held two weeks after the general election.

parliamentary democracies. Voters in San Francisco decided in a March referendum to apply instant runoff voting to most municipal elections. And more than 50 Vermont towns expressed support for the principle of IRV on Town Meeting Day this year. Alaskans rejected a similar initia-\ tive by a wide margin last month. IRV is generally favored by members of newer parties, including many Vermont Progressives, because it voids one of the main arguments used against voting ideologically rather than pragmatically. Those who favored the politics of Ralph Nader in last years presidential race, for example, often heard that votes for Nader > would spoil Democrat Albert Gore's chances of defeating George W. Bush. With the preference method available, firstchoice Nader voters could have listed Gore as their second choice, ensuring that the Democrat would receive their support once Nader was eliminated. IRV advocates believe that election turnouts would increase if voters were freed from the "spoiler" constraint and no longer felt obliged to choose a lesser of two evils. They also argue that this form of voting discourages negative campaigning and favors coalition-building, since candidates are less likely to risk alienating those who support one of their rivals. Some critics oppose IRV precisely because it would encourage the proliferation of minor-party

That option, however, involves additional expense and, according to some of its critics, is not as ideally democratic as what's known as "instant runoff voting." Grover, Bryan and Teachout all endorse this alternative. Under a c o m m o n form of IRV, voters presented with a choice of more than two candidates are asked to mark their ballots with their first, second and third or more preferences. If no candidate wins a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated. T h e second choices indicated on those ballots are credited to the remaining candidates. T h e process continues until one of the candidates receives more than 50 percent. A variation on this method of choosing winners has been in effect for City Council elections in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for several years. It is also used in Ireland, Australia and a few other

candidates — which, they say, would make an inherently complex voting system even more confusing. IRV detractors have also charged that a ranking of preferences violates the principle of one-person-one vote. Whatever the merits of IRV or separate runoff elections, a crisis of legitimacy may indeed be what it takes before Vermonters consider such alternatives in more than merely theoretical terms. Only if the legislature were again to elect a candidate who finished second in the popular vote, some analysts suggest, would the demand for Constitutional change reach critical mass. History suggests the pressure for reform recedes as time passes. After all, it's been less than two years since George W. Bush finished second in the popular vote, but the initially loud call for abolishing the Electoral College has already faded to a whisper. ®

Best-selling environmental writer Bill McKibben isn't the only celebrity coming to the University of Vermont "After Oil" symposium this weekend. To hear organizer Andrea Grayson talk about it, the former New Yorker staff writer and author of works including The End of Nature is sharing the weekend's top billing with a car. A Ford Focus, to be precise. But not the standard, bottom-ofthe-line model you might have seen on the lot. Under its standardissue skin, this Focus sports the hydrogen fuel-cell technology that Ford is gambling will one day replace the internal combustion engine. "These cars are like $7-million cars, I heard," Grayson says. "They're in prototype. There are only one or two in the country, so we're lucky to get it here." Environmentalists hope that someday everyone might drive such contraptions. The vehicles have zero emissions and run on hydrogen, which can be produced in the United States. Adios, OPEC, and so long, smog! Solar, electric, biodiesel, hybrids — all these promising fuel technologies will be on display and available for test drives. The morning is dedicated to under-the-hood demonstrations of electric cars, propane engines, compressed-natural-gas vehicles, hybrid cars, and hydrogen-fuel-cell technology. The afternoon features a talk by McKibben and panel discussions on the political and scientific issues involving alternative fuels. As for that Focus prototype, a Ford executive says you can't really call it a $7-million car. "It is very difficult to put a price tag on it," comments Anthony Eggert, manager of Ford's California Fuel Cell Partnership. But suffice it to say, Ford has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the technology so far, he adds. By 2004, the first hydrogen-powered Focus models will hit California highways as part of a pilot program. But those will be sold only to corporations or governmental agencies that buy their vehicles by the fleet. Individual cars won't be available to the public until about 2010, Eggert says. "For this technology to be successful, we have to raise the awareness and understanding of people."

Assuming you get waste oil for free, Scheckel says, "You can make it for less than 50 cents a gallon." Unlike oil and gas refiners, biodiesel makers tend to work in small volumes and without government subsidies. So their products retail for more. Dog River charges its biodiesel pilot project members $1.90 a gallon for onroad use. Regular diesel fuel costs about $1.50. Eventually, Butler says, he would like to get federal help to lower his price. But he doesn't expect it from the oilsoaked Bush administration. "This is oil," he says, "but it's just not their kind of oil."

efore they can make the leap to a full-fledged commercial venture, Dog River must clear some daunting regulatory hurdles, Butler says. Like Environmental Protection Agency tests geared toward companies that can shell out a million bucks to prove their product is safe. Until it does, the company will have to content itself with selling to pilot project members like the University of Vermont, which signed up with Dog River in 2001. Currently, four of the school's seven buses run on fuel that is 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent regular diesel. So far, U V M transportation manager Michael Altman is pleased with the results. "We haven't had any problems with it," he says. But he also notes that the program has yet to stand the test of a severe winter. Even so, Altman plans to convert the school's entire fleet to biodiesel as soon as Dog River can meet the demand. Converting is easy, he adds. O n buses made before 1995, mechanics just have to replace rubber fuel lines with synthetic ones, since biodiesel can break down rubber. Once the entire fleet is converted, UVM's shuttle buses, which transport 600,000 passengers a year, will burn 3,000 gallons of biodiesel annually, preventing 66,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from being spewed into the atmosphere. In the meantime, individual drivers have another incentive for powering their cars with Friolator fodder. Sleepy Hollow Lodge, a touring and biking center in Huntington, offers a free day's pass to anyone who shows up in an environmentally friendly car — solar, electric or biodiesel. Owner Eli Enman uses biodiesel himself to run his new diesel V W Jetta and the tractor he uses to groom the trails. But he knows getting others to switch will be a harder sell. "Hopefully, things will change," Enman says. "Either the price of gas will go up or people will realize the horrible effects of being dependent on fossil fuel." Those range from environmental degradation to the promised invasion of Iraq. ®

Weekly Mail continued from page 4a the oil countries of the income that keeps them in power and limits the contributions they make to terrorist organizations. It would hurt the populace of those countries more than it does their leaders, but that is true everywhere, including here in the U.S. Nevertheless, it would be a far better response to terrorism... than spending hundreds of billions of dollars and untold human suffering and loss of life as a result of sustained military action and occupation. There is another side to this analogy, too. Creating alternative, non-addictive drugs and treatment for an addict creates new jobs, medicine, and a productive member of society when successful... Weaning our economy and ourselves from oil has economic benefits. Using alternative fuels such as gasohol, ethanol, propane and fuel cells would create new businesses, as would cleaning up existing sources of energy production such as coal, oil, and nuclear plants. This is analogous to a clean-needle exchange... The Bush administration has chosen to thwart this potential new economy. They buy more cars, produce more coal and gaspowered plants and they lowered emission standards. Talk about an addict in denial! If we the people really want to do our part in stopping terrorism and building a strong, vibrant economy, we should first look to our addiction to oil and how it supports terrorism. Buying an SUV because it offers zero-percent financing supports terrorism. Flying an American flag on that SUV, truck, or gas-guzzling car doesn't change a thing. Creating a lifestyle that is more conscious of the resources we squander will do more to deprive terrorists of their source of income, and help to create new businesses that will use existing fuels more efficiently and develop new fuels... — Phil Hammerslough Essex Junction BOZO IN T H E OVAL OFFICE? I'm just writing to express my appreciation for Peter Kurth's... column in last week's issue ["Crank Call," Sept. II]. It's wonderful to know that it's not just myself and my circle of kindred spirits who think that the bozo currently staked out in the Oval Office is our country's worst nightmare come to life. And it's wonderful to know that more than a handful of us are outraged and disgusted by the events unfolding right under our collective noses. What I fervently wish is that Joe & Jane Public would get their noses away from the intoxication of the tube long enough to realize that we are sheep being led to slaughter, figuratively speaking. Papa Georges New World Order is alive and well, and slipping in the back door, while the talking heads keep us distracted with threats of war and nuclear weapons, destroying the environ-

ment and killing women and babies in developing countries who no longer have access to health care since bozo pulled the plug on the U N Population Fund monies (don't get me started on that!)... It's unconscionable that we even allowed this fool to take office in the first place; it will be an even greater crime to allow him to perpetrate his folly on the lives of innocent people halfway around the world in our name... — Marna Ehrech Shelburne BUSH A TERRORIST? In his column of September 11, 2002, Peter Kurth ["Crank Call"] worried about whether George W. Bush and the rest of the White House denizens are best described by the word "thugs" or the word "fascists." Reaching for help, he consulted the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. I think he settled on "fascists," but it really wasn't clear. I have a suggestion. In general, I think it's usually best to go right to the source. In this case, I think the president best supplies the answer about what he should be called. By Executive Order 13324, signed the afternoon of September 23, 2001, and made effective just hours later, immediately after midnight, President Bush formally established the legal definition of "terrorism." Section 3(d) states that "terrorism means an activity that — (i) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; and (ii) appears to be intended — (A) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (B) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (C) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking." I think that quite succinctly describes what President Bush did in Afghanistan and what he's planning for Iraq. It would be different, of course, if the United States had been at war with Afghanistan .or with Iraq. But we're not. The Constitution of the United States specifically reserves to Congress the exclusive right to declare war. And it has not done so. But then, President Bush believes that he doesn't need Congress. Maybe Mr. Kurth should instead be looking at the definition of "dictator." — Graydon Wilson Colchester PAYING T H E PRICE O F WAR .. .We cannot afford an endless war ["Crank Call," August 28]... Oh, I am grateful some sensible folks around [George Bush] convinced him to make a speech at the United Nations. But his will was to enter into a war with Iraq unilaterally. What does that say about him? And nobody — doubts that Bush's personal fortune has grown and prospered as a result of this conflict. Wouldn't any honorable man ask his obscenely rich colleagues — the same ones who have walked away from courtrooms in state after state, pockets bulging from

ill-gotten gain, and away from Bush's tax breaks that impoverished the commonwealth while further enriching millionaires and billionaires — to contribute to paying for their next endeavor, the unseating of Saddam Hussein? Has the President e-mailed his associates at Enron... asking them to offer a few of their millions, if not billions, to buy a bomber or two to destroy... who next? Or are we the people expected to foot the bill for Bush's endless war... from our children's future? The war in Afghanistan is costing us a billion dollars a day. At the recent Earth Summit in Johannesburg, Africa, nobody argued when a spokesperson stated $30 billion would provide education for the entire planet's population of children through the sixth grade. Imagine how many more friends we would make and enemies we would pacify by offering schools to children rather than bombs... Make no mistake: Violence reaps violence. What Bush is furthering on this planet is a War System — something sociologists are starting to recognize as a system that destroys everything around it while making obscene profits for those few who run it. George Bush is one of those running it. I have never understood why we honor those who profit from war and misery. Because they have money and we want it? Would we be willing to lie and cheat to get it? Do we respect him because he is President, no matter how he got there? When are we going to start respecting nurturers instead of exploiters? When are we going to help our young develop their tendencies to love each other and encourage their creative potential instead of glorifying war and exploitation? — Lynn Sandage Middlebury THANKS, SEVEN DAYS Thanks to Peter Moss for his letter of appreciation [September 16]. Here's mine. I recently had the pleasure of declining an offer of a subscription to The Burlington Free Press. When asked why, I cited poor election coverage, no coverage of the civil-union issue, lazy news reporting (why bother with any news other than that provided by the presence of UVM and Fletcher Allen?) and insipid editorials. And the subscription person still had the nerve to ask, "What would you like us to do better?" Thank heaven for Seven Days. — Elizabeth Templeton Williston

BY SUSAN GREEN

ile cabinets are purely functional and rarely attractive, but last June, Bren Alvarez began to envision these hulking office fixtures as conceptual public art. The 45-year-old Burlington architect, who also coowns the Flynndog gallery, wanted to create a satirical sculpture that would comment on the bureaucracy of urban planning. "The idea just flashed in my mind like a cartoon," she recalls, referring to what is now a more than 40-foot-tall monument to state and municipal persistence. Titled "File Under So. Co., Waiting for...," the assemblage rises up from an otherwise vacant lot overtaken by weeds on the north side of Flynn Avenue, just west of Pine Street. Alvarez says the structure symbolizes the paperwork that has accumulated since 1965, when the controversial Southern Connector was first proposed to link downtown Burlington with Interstate 89. The purpose of the stalled beltway, which would stretch about two-and-a-half miles through the South End, is to relieve traffic congestion on Sheiburne Road. Alvarez's narrow monolith is a stack of 11 metal filing cabinets in brown, beige, black, gray and green, with a total of 38 drawers. "I wanted one drawer for every year the project's been in existence," she explains. "The sculpture is very site-specific; it's right on the center line of the Connector." The cabinets are welded together and stabilized by an interior steel post. On one side, Alvarez used a blow torch to emblazon a map of the area along with a timeline in Roman numerals that reflects the phantom road's history from 1965 to the

present. In 1981, for instance, a land-use permit was approved with the stipulation that contaminated soil next to the nearby Barge Canal must first be removed. In 1999, a temporary skateboard park opened on the only section of the Southern Connector that has been constructed to date, not far from Home Avenue. Over the decades, as the project experienced one delay after another, the corridor's route and design were changed, often as a result of heated debate. Some residents felt the sense of neighborhood would be destroyed; others saw the potential benefits — a solution to traffic and parking problems — as outweighing the damage. Ultimately, the road was scaled back from four lanes to two. Almost two generations' worth of viewpoints later, the so-

called Champlain Parkway is still on the drawing board. "My assemblage is not a slam to the city," Alvarez contends. "It's an ironic, irreverent look at the public process." Whatever the message, she would like the medium to survive. "Last I heard, they're talking about completion of the project in 2004," Alvarez says. "So, in two years, if 'File Under' is still there, maybe I can add more cabinets." Although her initial request to city officials was for a temporary installation to coincide with the recent South End Art Hop, Alvarez now hopes that the piece can live on. She is seeking permission to extend the welcome at least until the beltway is actually a done deal. "It doesn't matter to me if it stays there," suggests Steve

W h e n Alvarez dreamed up "File Under" this spring, she mentioned it to her husband, David Farrington, Jr. "He didn't say anything at all," she remembers. "Then, three weeks later, he told me: 'I know where I can get you some file cabinets.' Fletcher Allen was giving them away. I got both vintage and contemporary there. "The older cabinets have springs and levers inside, brass name plates and handles outside. They're so heavy I had trouble dragging them. T h e newer styles are light as tin," Alvarez points out. "What I learned about file cabinets could fill, well, a file." Her next step was to approach the experts for help. She consulted an engineer. Reliance Steel in Colchester

T h e structure is attached with eight oneinch-diameter bolts.

And we had to stop for a half-hour until the lightning passed." Despite the adverse weather, the sculpture was quickly made vertical. "It took, like, three seconds to lift and three seconds to bolt it down," Alvarez notes. "Some people have worried about safety, but there's solid steel inside. It's geared to sway 16.9 inches in a 75-mile-per-hour wind. I do get a vertigo feeling, though, when I look up at it." Reasoning that "File Under" might merit a literary component, in July Alvarez contacted poet Marylen Grigas, who has lived in the South End for 20 years. "A week later, she called me back after doing all this research. She had written a 30-minute play, Paper Highway. It's hilarious." T h e one-act show was performed three times at the site during the weekend-long Art H o p by a cast of eight, along with the Burlington Taiko d r u m mers, who are tenants in the Flynndog building. Audiences were encouraged to come early for "mezzanine seating" on an 18-wheel flatbed truck provided by S.T. Griswold. "We had mowed a circle with a radius of 22 feet around the assemblage, which made a perfect theater," Alvarez notes. Paper Highway, subtitled A Farce in Fifteen Files, is about people in the year 2552 who make an exciting archaeological discovery. Two C N N reporters think the stack of cabinets is an ancient shrine to the gods. "This is definitely a religious artifact," muses one of the characters, who wonders about the vanished civilization behind an abandoned road to nowhere. ®

his is the year everything was supposed to be different. That was the buzz, anyway, preceding Sunday night's 54th annual Emmy Awards telecast. Media watchers had been in a tizzy ever since nominations were announced this past July. "Emmy gets with the program," "Turns out Emmy voters do have a pulse," "TV's highest honor finally got it right" raved the critics. "After years of being asleep at the wheel... new blood has been transfused into the Emmy process." Only that wasn't the way things worked out. Sure, new and, in some cases, cutting-edge programs received more nominations than in previous years. HBO's "Six Feet Under" (23), ABC's "Alias" (11), Fox's "24" (10) and F/X's "The Shield" (3) were surprises for the most part. T h e Academy's inclusion of Larry David's H B O comedy series "Curb Your Enthusiasm" came as a downright shock to Emmy experts. As revolutionary as such acknowledgments might be, however, the fact is, by and large, those shows didn't win.

For all the lip service about new blood, most of the night's big winners were old standbys. NBC's "The West Wing" took the statuette for Outstanding Drama Series for the third year running. "Friends," now entering its 9th, and probably final, season, was honored as the top comedy. T h e list of outstanding lead and

work as a tough-as-nails rogue cop on the F/X series "The Shield." Then promptly burst into tears. A sense of deja vu pervaded the Shrine Auditorium throughout the overlong broadcast (which clocked in at 3 hours and 20 minutes) as the tried-and-true triumphed over the new. "Frasier"'s Anthony

the "Late Night" host single-handedly injected the proceedings with what little new blood and life force they had — the broadcast's taped opening, which found him dwelling among the Osbournes, to the point in the ceremony when he introduced, first, the three accountants responsible for tabulating

supporting performers reads like a Who's W h o of familiar mainstream faces: Jennifer Aniston (Actress, Comedy), Ray Romano (Actor, Comedy), Doris Roberts (Supporting Actress, Comedy), Brad Garrett (Supporting Actor, Comedy). "The West W i n g ' s Allison Janney enjoyed a third consecutive win, this time as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, while Emmys for both Supporting Actor and Actress in the category went to fellow "West Wing"-ers Stockard Channing and John Spencer. Of the major acting awards, just one went to a dark horse. Michael Chiklis won for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series for his

LaPaglia won for Outstanding Guest Actor, Cloris Leachman for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. "Sex and the C i t y ' s Michael Patrick King was crowned Comedy Series Best Director. "Saturday Night Live" has the Best Writing in a Variety, Music or Comedy Series according to the Academy. I think it's fair to call that dubious given it suggests the almost 30-year-old broadcast is routinely fresher and more inventive than the shows of David Letterman, Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien. As we say in media critic circles, "Yeah right." Though, speaking of Conan O'Brien:

votes and, right behind them, the three FBI agents responsible for arresting them. O t h e r highlights included his announcement that "Bryant Gumbel's Salute to Bryant Gumbel" had been cut because the show was running long, and a new set of prize acceptance rules: "If anybody steps up to the microphone and says, 'This really belongs to someone else,' the E m m y will be taken away from them and given to that person." There was more. Lots, lots more. I can't recall the last time I laughed out loud at the antics of an award-show emcee, but Conan had me waking up small children.

far between, and more than once, overblown showbiz tributes ground the broadcast to a halt. Tom Hanks presented the inaugural Bob H o p e Humanitarian Award to Oprah, which naturally necessitated many taped messages from celebrities too big to actually attend (Tom Cruise: "You inspire me.") I seriously doubt anyone heard the mandatory Maya Angelou quotes since they were too busy whispering to one another about how much weight the talk show host-guru has taken off this time. If any Academy decision was beyond dispute, it was the vote of confidence it gave O'Brien. His commentary and pre-taped bits were funnier than some of the come-

dies nominated that night. It'd be madness not to invite him back. That was as new and improved as things got, though. Surprises were few and

For me, anyway, the evening's most maddening m o m e n t had to do with the prize for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Among the nominees? Wayne Brady ("Whose Line Is

N o t much new to report from T V Land, after all. T h e only reason "The Sopranos" didn't steal the whole show was because there were no new episodes last year. Coincidentally, the second show of the new season was airing at the same time as the E m m y broadcast. So maybe there's reason to hope for a fresh crop of winners... next year. (7)

ictures are proverbially worth a thousand words, but it's unusual to hear even half that many on how artworks are actually made — outside the classroom, anyway. To the casual viewer, the often-complicated steps from blank paper to finished product are a mystery. Printmakers in particular are notoriously "protective of the litde things they think they've invented," says Bill Davison. H e should know. Even as one of the founding instructors in the University of Vermont's fledgling art department in the late 1960s, Davison was already known as a gifted screenprinter — specifically in stone lithography. Since then his works have been characterized by experimentation that was always ahead of its time, especially during the years in which Burlington's George Little Press gave him virtual free rein to improvise. A current retrospective at the Fleming Museum, titled simply "Bill Davison: Thirty-Five Years of Prints," is small but illuminating. Davison has hundreds of prints to his credit — including some that have won international awards and been collected by renowned museums. Fleming director Janie Cohen selected a modest 14 for this exhibit, representing the major phases of Davison's career. She was drawn to his ongoing interest in the grid motif — a reflection of his coming-of-age in art's Minimalist period, influenced by adherents such as Barnet Newman and Ad Reinhart. Indeed, every work involves straight lines and geometric shapes, a seeming paean to order. There is, however, a more subtle demarcation in this show, its dramatic cause invisible to the observer. Davison's works before 1999 reveal him to be an exacting, patient, obsessively methodical artist. T h e prints are masterful, multi-layered pieces employing difficult, cuttingedge techniques and unorthodox textures such as flocking, dirt and a powdery black mineral. In the last couple years, though, Davison has loosened up; the four most recent works in the exhibit are monoprints — the least demanding process this side of the potato print. It's a method he once disdained as too simplistic. O n e stark life event divides the surgically precise screenprints from the more freewheeling monoprints: In 1999 Davison was diagnosed with nasopharyn-

geal cancer. Today he is recovered, but the disease, and its treatment, took a toll: Chemotherapy and radiation diminished his salivary function and left him with permanent tinnitus. H e wears a medicalalert bracelet indicating that a vascular port is embedded in his chest — in case he ever needs more chemo. Bottles of spring water are Davison's constant companions, but even so he worries that his speech is occasionally incomprehensible. "If your m o u t h is always drying out and you can't hear yourself talk, he says, letting the sentence trail off with a slight shrug. These physical challenges have made teaching difficult; that and U V M s early buyout option led Davison to wind up his academic career after 36 years. He'll be 62 when he retires in May. H e is not, however, going out with a whimper, as his retrospective shows. In addition, Davison will have a solo exhibit of recent monoprints at the newly renovated Firehouse Gallery in downtown Burlington next spring. Curator Pascal Spengemann describes these as "regimented but quite pleasing arrangements of colored squares, which are produced by inking individual pieces of scratched Plexiglas and printing them to paper. T h e result," he adds, "is a patchwork of interlocking, rectilinear forms that are surprisingly powerful. Bill's subconscious, freeform approach to creation allows for accidental combinations of color." T h e hours Davison now spends rolling out these "hit or miss" monoprints at Print Studio 250 seem to constantly recharge both his artistic vision and his outlook on life. "I see in his work a very compelling contrast of emotion and restraint, formalism and a more painterly approach," says Cohen, suggesting Davison's monoprints reveal a more intuitive process even as they employ a rigorous grid. " T h e tension in them is compelling. Bill is this gruff, duck-hunting Vermonter who makes these beautiful artworks."

ill Davison's office at Williams Hall, conveniently located next to the print studio, says a lot about the man who occupies it. N o t surprising for someone enamored of grids, it's tidy and orderly — even his notes are on graph

It is here that Davison chooses to talk about his life, plopping his lanky frame into the armchair with a couple bottles of water at the ready. H e was born in Burlington in 1941, just a few hundred yards from this office, and grew up in Essex Junction. Davison's grandparents had "the largest dairy farm in Rutland County," he says, recalling Sunday visits to the rural retreat in Wallingford in the family's Buick Electra.

Service for 40 years. His only sibling, a brother, is now a retired attorney in Stowe. Wanting to get out of New England — if just for a while — Davison left Vermont for Albion College in Michigan. H e had originally considered becoming an architect, until a teacher told him math and engineering were involved — "and that was that," Davison says with a rueful grin. H e pursued his MFA at the University of Michigan. A first marriage produced two children, both of w h o m live

in California: His daughter Karin is an artist, his son Tristan a commercial photographer whose latest favorite "subject" is Davison's first grandchild, Maxine Estelle. In 1967, Davison chose to return home and join the nascent art department at U V M . Michael Patterson, who graduated

— FLEminG m u s E u m d i r e c t o r jhi-iie c d h e d in 1969 as one of the school's first art majors, vividly recalls those heady years. "That early art department was a really interesting time and place and thing, and Bill was part of that," he says. "It was really small, and there was a lot of camaraderie." Patterson, who has owned an ad agency in downtown Burlington for 20 years, remembers Davison as a bright and highly talented artist: "He was young, right out of grad school, and he was an interesting and good teacher. H e got together litho presses and stones and taught stone lithography there for the first time." For his part, Davison believes he was a pretty mean prof. "I got hammered in grad school, so I guess I was harsh and thought that made me a good teacher," he says. H e recalls grueling, four-hour critiques that involved a lot of alcohol and cigarettes — not to mention tough reviews of students' work. Davison believes he's a gentler instructor since the cancer. " W h e n you get this kind of diagnosis, it kind of stops you in your tracks," he says. He's also quick to praise the students he's admired — especially Gerrit Gollner, a mid-'90s graduate whose work was well-received outside the classroom, in art exhibits around Burlington. She now lives in Cologne, Germany, but keeps in touch with her former mentor. "Gerrit was doing graduateor professional-level work by the time she finished here," Davison marvels. "It was clear she was going to be a star." "Bill taught with rigor, and with the

teachers are able to do." Davison claims many good — but only 10 or so "really great" — students over the years. O n e of the latter, Kathleen Schneider, was exceptional for another reason: She married him. A sculptor, Schneider later joined her husband on the art faculty. T h e couple has been together 22 years. Davison fondly calls her "my muse." Indeed, photographs of Schneider, and some of her drawings, appear frequently in his screenprints. "A muse is just something you have as an artist," demurs Schneider. "I don't really think about it when I see his w o r k . . . It's like the materials he uses over and over again, and I've become this form he can use in juxtaposition with other shapes and forms. I'm part of his lexicon." Schneider acknowledges her husband's role in her own work as well. " H e was my teacher and the person who helped me the most in my career when I started out as an artist. I couldn't have grown as much as I have without Bill's belief in my work." Despite their personal and professional closeness, even Schneider took a back seat when it came to Davison's favorite pastime. And he doesn't let a conversation about his life get too far without bringing it up: "I suppose you're going to ask me about the duck hunting," he encourages. " O n e of the traditions in Vermont is father-son bonding through hunting and fishing. D a d went deer hunting, though I don't think he ever killed anything. I got involved with duck hunting," Davison

about three months every fall, he would bond with his friend. Sometimes I thought it was more important than his relationship with me, but I don't think it was." O n one of Davison's screenprints, anyway, photos of a duck decoy and his wife get equal billing. Davison's hunting came to a poignant end when his hunting buddy, a friend since childhood, lay dying of cancer — and he received his own chilling news. T h e same disease had also taken his father's life. "It was really devastating," says Schneider. "That was the saddest thing I've ever seen him go through. His friend told him to stop smoking and make some changes in his life." Davison did. "The diagnosis rearranged the way I was making art," he says. "There are 48 different chemicals... to make a picture from lithography. And I had a pretty cavalier attitude about using gloves or masks. I had to continue making art, but I couldn't do screenprinting anymore." That's when Davison began working with printmaker D o n Hanson. T h o u g h he's subsequently moved his studio to his home in Stowe, Hanson then had a space on Church Street, and he spearheaded a print project that raised funds for Burlington City Arts. In the second year of that project, Hanson invited Davison to make a monoprint. At first he resisted. "I was opposed to them," Davison says. "I thought printmaking had to be this laborintensive thing, that [to be an- artist] you

artist and teacher Leslie Fry, who had already been making monoprints, influenced Davison to give it a try. "I think it kind of freed him up from screenprinting, in which everything has to be perfect," H a n s o n says. "Monoprint is a kind of roll-the-dice-and-see-what-you-get thing, filled with pleasant surprises. H e really got into it." That's an understatement. "In the experience with Don," says Davison, "I recognized I could do something very immediate, and it gave me the sense that I wasn't going to lose it as an artist."

ill Davison still characterizes himself as "cantankerous," a reputa• • tion his wife believes he cultivates. H e is strongly opinionated and can be abrupt, but he is also appealingly direct, open and, well, enthused. "Everything about Bill changed after the cancer," Schneider observes. " H e s a different person, much lighter about everything." Indeed, any pretense of crustiness falls away when Davison is at work in Print Studio 250. He's exceedingly methodical, even loving, with every process, from soaking the paper to turning the handle of the press. But when it comes to placing those 2-inch squares of plastic onto the paper, Davison is finally at play. O n a recent morning, he has decided

DAYS

September 25, 2 0 0 2

ielding the kind of rubber hand-on-a-stick often used as a Halloween gag, Shara Tarule gently strokes Sassy's lush black fur. The little cocker spaniel mix doesn't seem to mind. She's busy gnawing on a leathery, dried pig ear at the Humane Society of Chittenden County's spacious new headquarters behind K-Mart on Shelburne Road in Burlington. But when the artificial appendage moves closer to her prize, Sassy freezes. If pushed, she might snap or growl. It's apparent to Tarule that this affectionate pet is probably not suited for a home with young children. The FBI hires profilers, but the Humane Society has Tarule: its very own dog-behavior consultant. Incoming pooches are frequently disoriented by the unfamiliar surroundings. The 31-year-old Underhill resident's job is to evaluate these "relinquished animals" so the organization can match them with the appropriate adoptive families or individuals. Tarule lived in Plainfield until age 10, when her family moved to Massachusetts. After spending the better part of a decade devoting herself to the Earth's fauna in far-flung places, she returned to Vermont in early 1996. The green-eyed brunette now has a cat and two dogs of her own â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention a toddler, Lincoln. Tarule acknowledges that in a life devoted to other species, she and her husband, Guy Owen, named their son after a particularly intelligent sea lion.

animal science in the pre-veterinary program.

SEVEN DAYS: What prompted you to pursue this career? Shara Tarule: As a child, I spent time with my grandparents every winter in the Florida Keys. I began "playing" with dolphins when I was seven. At 17, I had a three-month internship at the Dolphin Research Center there. After graduating from a pri vate high school in Massachusetts, I took a year off before college to do research with humpback whales as an intern in Australia and then as a paid naturalist in Hawaii.

SD: But she sure wanted to dominate that pig's ear. ST: That's what we call "resource guarding." In a home, that could be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich she steals off the table. Another test we do is to check the "prey drive," a dog's inherent desire to chase after fast-moving objects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like squirrels or children on skateboards..

SD: Wow. All that before continuing your formal education? ST: Yeah. I came back to New England to attend Hampshire College, where I concentrated on environmental studies for two semesters. I went back to the Keys to do a summer internship with dolphins. That turned into employment as a senior trainer for five years. And it's where I met Guy, who was also a researcher. We burned out on perpetual summer, though, and came north. SD: To be near your family? ST: (Nodding) My parents had moved to Burlington in 1991. And I wanted to finish my undergraduate degree at the University of Vermont. I majored in

SD: Did the Humane Society have a previous dog behavior consultant? ST: No. They essentially created the position for me. Shelters everywhere are starting to have behaviorists on their staff. Its a new direction here, so we're sort of figuring it out as we go along. SD: Why is there a need? ST: Being given up for adoption and staying in a shelter can influence a dog's well-being. My job is to find out what's really going on with them. I'm trying to make a prediction of future behavior in the home. SD: What are the steps for making that prediction? ' W ST: First, I do a temperament test like this: I'm now opening Sassy's mouth several times to observe her reaction to predictable and not-so-predictable actions. I think this is O K with her because she's already bonded with me. I also want to see how social a dog might be. How much do they care about people? The less dominant ones look right at you and seem to be saying, "Hello, new human. Show me what you want to do." But the more social, dominant and confident dogs look away as if saying, "Hello, new human. Where are we going together?" Sassy, for instance, is less dominant.

SD: How would you do that with Sassy? ST: I'll hold onto her while someone runs back and forth. I also test for compatibility with other animals, and for their activity and energy level. And there's a "stranger meeting" test: I see how they respond to a loud knock on the door, SD: How long does it take to evaluate a dog? ST: It depends, but we don't begin the evaluations until after they've been here for 48 hours. We wait for them to stop looking for their old owners. SD: That breaks my heart. Dogs are so loyal. ST: I know. My goal is to make them more adoptable. SD: How? ST: We train our staff and volunteers on all the lirtle

things they can do that make a difference. Our walkers used to just slip on a collar and take them out. When I started here two years ago, I established a "four on the floor" rule. We ignore them until they're no longer jumping up or barking. Then they get food, praise, rewards. We just turn our backs on them till they quiet down. Within three weeks, the kennel became a quiet place. Dogs figure it out. That's self-control. SD: Are there other tricks of the trade to help them improve? ST: We have "pawjama parties." People can take a dog home temporarily while we're closed on Sundays and Mondays, or even just overnight. In some cases, staff members take dogs home to assess them in a more natural environment. SD: To what extent do you profile the aspiring owners? ST: We do an intake interview. Our primary adoption requirements are that they be over 21, have permanent housing and have provided regular veterinary care for their other pets. After the application process, they meet for an hour or more with an adoption counselor. SD: Have the behavioral techniques been successful in terms of your own dogs? ST: If I forget to put away the garbage when I leave and they redecorate the kitchen floor with it, I say: "Bad owner!" They're scavengers; that's what they're meant to do. It happened to us the other day. Some level of destruction is normal. Makena, my Dalmatian mix, has potential aggression problems with people and dogs. He's a difficult dog to own. The silver lining is that I know how to handle aggression. Kiska is a bluetick coonhound. She's a rescue dog. But Bessie, our tortoiseshell cat, rules the household. SD: I suppose none of the approaches you use here would make sense with a cat. ST: Not necessarily. Our shelter manager, Teal Church, is developing a cat program with a similar evaluation process, especially for strays. SD: You've pointed out that the new building offers cat colonies, doggie dorms, a living room decor for adoptees called Camp Take-Me-Home and a separate space for rabbits and small pets like hamsters, ferrets and guinea pigs. This must be a shelter that really cares about critters. Is that what attracted you? ST: (Laughing) I came to the Humane Society because Vermont doesn't have dolphins. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Susan Green

...IT'S COMIN' AT 'YA NEXT WEEK (BUT IT WON'T SNOW... PROMISE)

fundraiser was going to take place. The entrance to the building was cordoned off and a metal detector was set up in front. Like everyone else, yours truly was asked to present two forms of photo ID to receive a press badge. We were told to wait in the parking lot. Around 10:30 we learned we were going to be put in two vans for a little trip around the perimeter of the airport to the Vermont Air Guard facilities on the other side. A Secret Service agent told us to line up for inspection with our equipment. When the fellow with the wire in his ear came by, yours truly gladly displayed the tape recorder, Waggys Deli ham sandwich and long pants (having arrived by bike wearing shorts) that were in my knapsack. The gentleman did not go through my pack, nor did he pat me down or ask that we empty our pockets. One of us, God forbid, could easily have concealed a weapon in the small of the back. In addition to the ham sandwich, our backpack could have contained a couple hand grenades. Upon arriving at the entrance to the Air Guard facility, an armed guardsman stopped us. At first, it appeared we'd have to get out to be individually checked. The Secret Service agent in the passenger seat identified himself and informed the guards the passengers in the van had "already been swept." In we went. The press corps spent an hour confined to a wooden platform waiting for Cheneys plane to land. When it arrived, Air Force Two taxied right up to us. The vice-president got off and gave a short speech to about 250 Air National Guard members. As his speech ended, the Veeps advance woman hustled us up front to get a view of Cheney shaking hands with the troops. As he reached the end of the line, the vice-president looked up and saw us standing behind the rope about 10 feet away. As he looked our way, yours truly heard Cheney say, "That's the press." We felt the urge to shout out, "Any message for Howard Dean, Mr. Vice-President?" But yours truly was tongue-tied. Cheney quickly executed a sharp righthand turn and headed for his limousine for the short hop across the tarmac to the Republican fundraiser. His advance woman quickly herded us back into the vans. We followed the Cheney motorcade as it drove across the .runways of the closed airfield. (Yes, it was a thrill.) When the press vans reached the FOB hangar, we were once again hustled out and told to enter through a small door on the runway side of the hangar. No metal detector in sight. Once again, the press was consigned to a platform behind the crowd, about 100 feet from the podium. This week, after two calls to Secret Service headquarters in Washington went unreturned, we contacted resident agent Tim Kirk

- :

at the Secret Service's new Vermont field office in downtown Burlington. Agent Kirk was surprised we had been allowed to get so close without getting checked out, or "swept" like everyone else, from the catering staff to the high-roller Republican donors. "The plan was to sweep you," said Kirk. "We don't take the press for granted." That's a relief. Vermont's new Secret Service agent told Seven Days that letting a dozen or so local reporters get as close to Cheney as John Hinckley was to Reagan without some kind of physical check for weapons "was not a gross lapse." He told us that agents "can use their discretion." The fact that they did not perform a "100 percent sweep of the press," was a "situational decision," explained Kirk. Agent Kirk noted we had been "somewhat cleared" by state Republican Party officials. He politely thanked yours truly for bringing the matter to his attention. He would pass it on up the chain of command. Cool. Let's be perfectly clear. Despite the best intentions of the Secret Service, there have been two successful assassination attempts on a President in our brief lifetime. John F. Kennedy was shot in the head and killed. Ronald Reagan recovered from his chest wound. r-Protecting a president or the person who's a heartbeat away surely requires preparing for the unexpected. That means the press should be treated just like everyone else. Yours truly would have gladly strolled through a dozen metal detectors last Thursday if only they'd asked.

WARM UP AT

The fact that we didn't have to pass through even one does not bolster our faith in Secret Service protection for our president and vice-president. Dubie Update — Finally caught up with Lite-Gov candidate Brian Dlibie last week at the Essex Rotary. Asked for his take on the Republican Web site posting nasty allegations about the private lives of Democrat candidates, Doobie-Do replied, "I have no knowledge. I have no comment." Brian did say, however, he regularly visits the site of the Dwinell Political Report. Mr. Dubie outlined to the Rotary his "comprehensive" plan for permit reform. He emphasized the need to trim the bureacracy. Afterwards we inquired about his proposal to have a panel of Superior Court judges work fulltime on appeals of development permits. Since Superior Court judges are already pretty busy, we wanted to know if Doobie-Do would hire new judges. "I'm not prepared to answer that," was Brian's first reply. When we pointed out it was his proposal, he said, "I suspect that we would talk about new judges." Great. Expand the bureaucracy! ®

It's not just the debris of everyday life that rattles around her skull but apparently stories from every generation and every part of the world. Sure, she thanks Xena the Warrior Princess and Buffy the Vampire Slayer in her C D credits, but don't think that the cultural influences on this 27-year-old Canadian folk singer are limited to bad TV. Sweetland is especially drawn to venerable tragedies, from Greek mythology to Bach to the Civil War.

WIDE WAIL, LOOKING FOR TIGER (self-released, CD) — Local music vets Wide Wail were one of Burlington's hottest groups in the late '90s. Touching, rocking, tender and intelligent, they were one of the most varied and interesting bands around. However, in the past couple years Wide Wail slipped from the public eye, leaving many fans to wonder about their fate.

BLACKWATER SURPRISE

Sharp spurts of electric guitar and handclaps cut through the power-pop opener, "Luck." Vocalist Gustafson soulfully powers through the verses before exploding into a cathartic, rollicking chorus. After this, Looking for Tiger settles into a decidedly mellower, mid-tempo groove. The rolling drums and understated keyboards of "Golddiggers" provide the backdrop for a tale of urban desolation. "You Don't Know" ups the pace, with Gustafson yelling into a storm of fuzz guitar and ominous

The only downside to the disc is that the pop overtones occasionally overshadow the musical variation, causing the tunes to float by in an indiscriminate cloud of summery perfection. This isn't such a bad thing, as there's not a dull track on the record. It just takes extra attention to pull the tremendous songs, such as "Sweetest Thing," from the slightly less remarkable ones.

If there's a weakness here, it's that many of the songs blend together into one sound. The pace is usually slow to medium, and Sweetland's repetitive refrains have a hypnotic effect. A small but welcome variation comes in the form of two instrumentals. In "Hotevilla," Sweetland shows off her considerable guitar skills. "Chaconne" is a magical medley of guitar, violin and cello based on an excerpt from J.S. Bach.

Yet Wide Wail, and Gustafson in particular, should be proud. The songwriting is so strong that every track on Looking for Tiger would be the standout on nearly any other modern pop disc. Wide Wail has released a classic album that reclaims their lofty position on the local scene. Highly recommended.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8 $16 ADVANCE $18 DAY OF SHOW

It seems the Wail is back. With a fresh new album and a series of fall dates, Amanda Gustafson, Jeremy Frederick and David Rosenstein are reemerging onto the scene they used to rule. Looking for Tiger is exactly what one would expect from a re-formed Wide Wail. The songs are subtle and engaging, with pools of emotion and melody pouring from each one.

modern imagery of "plastic forks, plastic emotions" before resolving into a bouncy, Beatle-esque chorus. Highly personal and packed with emotion, Looking for Tiger is a solid return to form. The disc features a variety of styles, all expertly played, yet it is shrouded in a sugary pop veil. "Take Me Home With You," for instance, recalls Mo Tuckers playful Velvet Underground cuts, while "Check It Out" is a sputtering electro-pop number.

She starts with a 12th-century chant .written by Peter Abelard and segues into "The Abbess," which was inspired by the love letters of Heloise and Abelard. Sweetland notes, "Only in death were they finally reunited." Another ancient tragedy explored here is that of Hero and Leander. When Leander drowned in an attempt to see his true love, legend has it that Hero forever wandered the shores calling out, "O Leander! O Leander!" Thus the white flower growing along the sea became known as the Oleander. "Clementine" is inspired by the classic children's song in which the subject also meets a watery grave. The message here? Wear a life jacket.

working knowledge of Latin. Her lovely voice brings intriguing lyrics to life, and her supporting cast of musicians quite capably adds layers of sonic sentiment. Producer Ken Whitely is particularly amazing. His banjo and organ work are a highlight of "O Leander," and his mandolin on "Clementine" is just gorgeous. Stephen Fearing contributes stellar guitar work and nice harmonic vocals. It's the beauty of their work that keeps this litany of sad songs from being over-the-top grim.

" M e s s a g e Bridge," by James Teuscher B Y M A R C AWODEY

lthough the 10th annual South End Art Hop is officially over, residual public sculpture remains. Several of the Art Hop installations will stay on or near the Pine Street corridor for as long as the makers can get away with it, turning the work into a kind of guerrilla art. In addition, a gallery sculpture show — the work of Thomas Beale at Church &C Maple — continues through October 1. Like most of the outdoor work, many of Beale's pieces are fairly large-scale and well worth seeing before the month is out. The steel sculptures by John Rubino in front of Gregory Supply are playful, yet they do reflect the areas industrial past in an odd sort of way. "Pump" is a 7-foot piece with a nice rusty patina. Although its lines are curved rather than straight, it somewhat resembles a two-piston water pump. Despite its name, "L'Arc de Gymnastique" is essentially an 11foot-tall gate rather than a piece of exercise equipment. Painted dark gray with industrial epoxy paint, the piece has a post-industrial panache. Two interesting sculptures currently reside outside the Department of Public Works building, one of stone and the other consisting of hundreds of

The strongest piece in the Art Hop this year — and arguably the most successful piece of public art Burlington has ever seen — is "File Under So. Co., Waiting for..." by architect and Flynndog curator Bren Alvarez. The 50-foot tower of filing cabinets on Flynn Avenue is a wry comment on the neverending process of creating the Southern Connector (see story on page 16a). While many South End residents might prefer to see the highway shelved forever, some view it as a panacea for economic stimulus in the area. The monumental stack of filing cabinets may well serve to reinvigorate the debate. "Message Bridge," by James Teuscher, carries no message, but it is a beautiful aesthetic statement that earned him second prize in the Art Hop. Located in the vicinity of the Mackenzie plant off Flynn Avenue, it's a tall, gracefully angled pointer made of pine that is aimed at the sky like a long fishing pole. Beale's exhibit at Church and Maple is not particularly topical but very well crafted. He creates three-dimensional parquet wood sculptures with interlocking shapes. The works have an organic presence, yet there also seems to be a mathematical basis to the way Beale selects smaller shapes to create larger ones. His most dramatic piece is "Harlequin," parallelograms of figured wood organized into a massive, fanlike shape. It almost resembles a giant piece of fungi growing from a tree stump. Openings on each end allow a viewer to experience the hollowness of the piece. The openings also make the work seem lighter and add an interior dimension. "Singing Bowl" is a 6-foottall seedlike form that also has a hollow interior. A hole in the top of the object allows light I to illuminate the rough inner surfaces of the found wood Beale used in its construction, but the light can only be seen through cracks in the finished pieces of the exterior. September is a particularly good month for sculpture in Burlington's South End. And in the oft-repeated words of Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." There's still time to visit the sculptural remains of the Art Hop before October foliage competes for the attentions of passersby. ®

Thea Alvin's "Passage" is a flat, 11-foot oval of small granite blocks with an arch spanning its center. The "Untitled" field of 1foot-tall yellow, green and blaze-orange flags by H. Keith Wagner runs about 50 yards along the side of the D P W building. It looks like a quivering field of synthetic wildflowers.

deutCh treat: Despite some tepid reviews from mainstream critics, Mostly Martha should be savored by audiences for the same reason they responded to Babettes Feast in 1987 and Big Night nine years later: gourmet food so painstakingly prepared and stunningly photographed you can almost smell it. Although Germany is not renowned for its cuisine, the new film — now at the Nickelodeon in Burlington — could make Deutchland a popular destination for hungry tourists. But writer-director Sandra Nettelbeck's refreshingly schmaltz-free story is really more about the heart than the tastebuds. Martha Klein, played by Martina Gedeck, is a master chef in a four-star Hamburg restaurant. She is so obsessed with the job that her boss insists she see a therapist. Their sessions involve long, detailed descriptions of mouth-watering meals she has crafted; pigeon with truffles is one of her specialties, for example. Martha can't be coaxed into talking about her personal life, largely because she doesn't have one — until a tragedy immerses this lovely, repressed woman in human emotions that go beyond her passion for perfection.

When her sister.is killed in an accident, Martha must take care of a young niece she barely knows. Lina (Maxime Foerste) is a bright but sorrowful 8-yearold who finds refuge from grief by refusing to eat. It's anathema to her aunt's belief system. These personal developments coincide with the hiring of an Italian sous-chef at work. Mario (Sergio Castellitto) is a gentle, gregarious soul who manages to charm Lina. But paranoid Martha sees the poor man as a threat to her exalted place in the kitchen, and she treats him with contempt. Martha is in for a few surprises, though, thanks to a child-care learning curve that is almost as frenetic as Diane Keatons in Baby Boom — a far less subtle picture with similar themes that was set in Vermont. In the German saga, the reluctant mother must balance tentative nurturing with fabulous nourishment, definitely food for thought. road warrior: In the spring of 1903, a Burlington physician wagered $50 that he could drive coast to coast in a newfangled invention then considered unreliable: the automobile. It hadn't been done before.

On May 23, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson left San Francisco for New York City in a one-cylinder, open-top Winton Motor Carriage with no windshield. It was dubbed "The Vermont" — a vehicle on exhibit since 1944 at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. Civil War filmmaker Ken Burns has been in California, Oregon and Idaho recently to shoot Horatio's Drive, a chronicle of the Jackson journey. PBS will broadcast the two-hour production next fall, not long after the 100th anniversary of the feat. The documentarian was no doubt fascinated by the saga of this determined American pioneer, whose "voice" will be supplied by Tom Hanks. The 31-year-old Jackson was accompanied by a mechanic, Sewall K. Crocker, and a stray bulldog named Bud they picked up in Idaho. All three wore goggles to protect their eyes from the dust. At the time, the country offered no paved roads outside big cities, but the Winton chugged along at almost 20 miles per hour — unless stuck or broken. In the isolated towns of the West, people who had never seen a car before took

to calling it "the devil wagon." According to the late Ralph Nading Hill, a local historian who wrote a book on the subject in 1950, one astonished onlooker in Wyoming asked them: "What in hell will you Vermonters do next?" Some things never change. The adventurers got lost, received faulty directions, waited for parts to arrive by stagecoach when the motor carriage broke down, recruited a team of horses to yank it out of deep mud, and hired a cowboy to help them navigate the Great Plains. Axles broke. Tires blew. Equipment went flying. Nonetheless, Bud and his two weary companions arrived at their Fifth Avenue destination in Manhattan on July 26. About two months after completing the trek, Jackson was arrested in his snailpaced hometown for exceeding the speed limit, which was then a mere 6 miles per hour. The "mad doctor," as Nading Hill referred to him, might have been the first person to drive a car across the continent, but he was apparently just another lawbreaker to the no-nonsense Burlington Police. ®

THE PUZZLE •

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes allfollow a secret rule. Gin 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 can deal with SITUATIONS but CIRCUMSTANCES make her confused. She won't EXPLAIN anything, but she'll gladly EXPLICATE. To avoid temptation, she has her checks DEPOSITED rather than CASHED.

Big Buffet at Both Locations Over 100 Quality Items

Saying DUMP makes her uneasy, so she uses the word LANDFILL. Fannie is fond of AMERICA but finds CANADA incomplete. She used to drive a TOYOTA but now tools around in a NISSAN.

Orchid Restaurant

Being REGULAR is preferable to being CONSTIPATED. Most people say LAXATIVE, but Fannie says CATHARTIC. Not trusting her MEMORY, she often writes herself a MEMORANDUM.

TRAPPED** T h e first half of Luis (Angel Byes) Mandoki's new thriller is as white-knuckle nerve-wracking as they come. T h e second is such a mishmash of overblown action and gaping plotholes that it's hard to believe the same director did both. T h e upside is Kevin Bacon, who is once again in scummy psycho mode here. You've got to give the guy credit: Few actors are in his league when it comes to switch-hitting. H e can emanate the essence of boy-next-door wholesomeness {Footloose, Apollo 13) and he can wig out with the weirdest of them (The River Wild, Sleepers). In Trapped, Bacon plays a cold-hearted freak convinced that he's devised the foolproof kidnap-for-ransom scheme. H e and his berserko bride (Courtney Love) each take the parent of a privileged kid hostage in a separate location. Meanwhile, the third member of the outfit — a hair-trigger teddybear played by Pruitt Taylor Vince — holds the child in a secluded cabin. T h e three communicate every 30 minutes by cell phone to make sure things are proceeding as planned. Any snafus and the tyke will be taken out. T h e key to the scheme is the separation of husband and wife, allowing for one to wire money to the other, thereby avoiding the traditional ransom pick-up stage at which most kidnappers are nabbed. In the past, Bacon and company have always kept their end of the bargain. Once the money's in hand, families have been set free to reunite and carry on with their lives. W h e n he confronts Charlize Theron in her lakeside home one afternoon, however, Bacon alone knows that this time will be different. Unlike previous abductions, this one's personal. Bacon and Love, we learn, have suffered the loss of a young child themselves as the result of an accident on the operating table. About the time we learn this, the movie starts to get murky. We're never quite sure what the daughters death had to do with m o m and dad's taking up a life of crime. Love's character in particular loses focus, her motivations fuzzy from here on out. All we know is that Bacon blames the loss of his kid on Theron's husband, an anesthesiologist played by Stuart Townsend, and Townsend in turn points the finger at the doctor who performed the operation. W h a t started out as a taut contest of wills between Bacon and Theron deteriorates into a protracted and borderline-silly chase sequence. All paths converge, literally, on a crowded highway in a manner that would have proved comic if a little girl's life were not at stake. Movie-critic law prohibits my being more specific. Suffice it to say the final act turns into such an over-the-top action free-for-all, Vin Diesel would not have seemed out of place amid the cartoon mayhem. Which is a shame, because the picture had promise. T h e movie achieves maximum creepiness early on when an incensed Theron defies the figure who has turned her life upside down. Sincerely puzzled, Bacon poses the question, " D o you think you live in a world where little girls don't get killed?" It's a m o m e n t in which reality and cinema intersect to chilling effect.

Heidegger was a Nazi and an antiSemite up until his death in 1976, why do we continue to revere the ground he walked on? The guy was a louse (he seduced Hannah Arendt, of all people) and yet he is considered the major voice of postmodern thought! Why was this morally corrupt jerk elevated to 20th-century

It's not like being a morally corrupt jerk has ever been a major career impediment. Intellectuals also tend to have a gift for after-the-fact rationalization that would make a U.S. president blush. To be fair, Heidegger's eminence also has something to do with the fact that, in the eyes of his admirers anyway, he was a genius. So we face the age-old question: If the work is brilliant, does it matter if the author is a

First civil unions, now universal health care? With Governor Howard Dean attracting presidential attention, Vermont may be poised to make history once again. Although the Green Mountain State has thousands covered, some believe we can still do better. "A health care system like ours that does not include every Vermonter is not a true health care system," says Vermont Health Care for All's Dr. Deborah Richter. Join her nonpartisan advocacy group as it shares its message with the masses — and local legislators. It'll do the body politic good.

Laura Love is not your average folkie. An electric bass player, the Seattle singersongwriter likes to mix some funk and jazz in with more traditional Celtic and Appalachian stuff. "My mission in life is to put the yo!' back in yodel," says Love. "It feels really good to put a Middle Eastern melody with an Afro-pop groove; they flow naturally together." On her 2000 album, Fourteen Days, Love shows she's "one of the most promising new female artists of the last few years," writes one critic. Singer-guitarist Jen Todd doubles the fun.

VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD A R M Y BA

STATEH0USE LAWN, MONTPELIER, SEPTEMBER 22, 1 P.M. When I was in boot camp preparing for my Army Band endeavor, the other Joes liked to refer to us musicians as "band fags." The Vermont National Guard 4 0 t h Army Band are no sissies, though: Assembled on the Statehouse lawn last Sunday for a patriotic performance, they provided a program that celebrated their various national marksmanship awards, whence comes their nickname, the " 4 0 t h Army Shootin' Tootin' Band." Though it was raining, Conductor and Chief Warrant Officer David A. Myers kicked things off with a rousing rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." I couldn't help murmuring those school-days lyrics to the catchy melody — "The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah..." I'd like to highlight one instrument in particular your tax dollars are being spent on: the cymbals. Along with guitar, that's what I used to play. The cymbals provide the virtual orgasm of the band, unleashing their potent waves at the peaks of crescendos. As their mighty brass wings spread proudly, listeners can share in the surge of glory. Try to imagine "The Star Spangled Banner" without the violent clash of victory before the final refrain. What a tragedy! The 4 0 t h ' s finest on cymbals was second to none. He chimed his magnificent disks with grace and finesse, elegance and majesty, as bald eagles seemed to soar through nearby purple, : er, green mountains. r*" For those who may wonder, "Why an Army Band?" I offer this: During the display, a poodle named Apricot came up to smell something on my shoe. I asked the pooch's owner if she was enjoying the concert. She said her husband was killed in the military three months ago and a flag was all she had in his place. Then she tuned in to the music. Her eyes watering, she rocked back and forth to "America the Beautiful," singing along in a personal dirge that seemed to float in and out of the chords. Something in that music reflected what once had been, and that could never be restored.

CARPAL T U N N E L

Kjnesiologist, e p i s c o p a l priest, and Z e n practitioner.

SYNDROME (CTS) occurs when a nerve that goes into your hand is compressed or "pinched" causing tingling or pain in the hand. If left untreated the symptoms can worsen (wake you from sleep), progress to muscle weakness and finally muscle atrophy. Carpal Tunnel can develop from one or more areas such as: wrist, elbow, arm, shoulder and finally neck. As chiropractors, we can assess your condition and determine the cause. Through the use of chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage and rehabilitative exercises you may find the solution you've been looking for. To determine if chiropractic care is for you, call (802) 863-5828 to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.

Since you were born in the sign of the adventure-hungry daredevil, you've probably had your share of the romance described in Suzanne Lummis' poem: " T h e kind/of love you intend to make to m e requires/a cheap room near an alley where forsaken/cats scream at garbage cans they can't/claw their way i n t o . / W h y resist?" As tempting as that version of intimate relationship might be for you to seek over and over again until your senior years, Aries, I do want t o let you k n o w there are more uplifting varieties that you might find just as fascinating. A n d this is a perfect m o m e n t , astrological ly speaking, to set an intention to go after that higher love.

TAURUS (Apr. 2 0 - M a y 20): What's the best way to respond when someone throws a pie in your face? Q u o t e d in Time magazine, author Peter Post recommends that you exclaim, " D a m n ! T h i s is good pie!" In the same article, comedian Carol Burnett advises you to gather the piethrower in a warm embrace, gleefully nuzzling h i m or her all over the face. In so doing, you give the message, " T h a n k you. I understand your point of view, and here is mine: 'Kiss your enemies.'" O t h e r possibilities: 1. Scoop off a gob, histrionically put it in your m o u t h , and say, "I'd have preferred strawberry mocha, b u t this is my second favorite." 2. Calmly remark, " T h a n k G o d for interruptions. I was on the verge of being bored silly." 3. Raise your arms over your head and shout, "Hallelujah! I have seen the light!"

GEMINI

ology

19):

(May 21-June 20): ^ o t r r f n k bargains? Freef tides? ! 5 Beginner's luck? Glorious substitutes? To the-casual observer, Gemini, you may seem to be cheating karma in the coming week. I won't be surprised if you're accused of having an unfair advantage. In fact, though, you're mere-

- chance to imitate G o d . A n d I m e a n 'bad' in the best sense of t h e word."

— AQUARIUS (Jan. 20ly cashing in on the surplus of credit you've accumulated in the past — a combination of good deeds that went unheralded and suffering you didn't deserve. Playful breakthroughs? Sublime accidents? Shortcuts to victory?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It's Touchy-Feely Week. To put yourself in sweet alignment with cosmic trends, dramatically increase the contact between your beautiful body and the rest of the world. You should trust your intuition about the best surfaces to rub u p against for maxim u m benefit, b u t here are a few ideas to get you started: Indulge in extravagant hugging, eat with your fingers, wrap yourself in silk or velvet, conspire to be in places where wind and misty rain will caress you, get yourself invited to a body-painting party, attend a N e w Age workshop, play Twister and make love as long and slow and often as possible. L E O

(July 23-Aug. 22): " T h e

more accidental, the more true." So wrote Russian author Boris Pasternak in his p o e m "February." C o m m e n t i n g o n this reference in a scholarly treatise, Mikhail Epstein expands on its meaning: " T h e more accidental the p h e n o m e n o n , the more divine its nature, for the divine is what has not been envisioned, what cannot be deduced f r o m general rules, nor irreducible to them." I suggest you make this your keynote in the coming days, Leo. Your sources of inspiration will not be holy books, revered dogma, or ,^great truths^tjiat everyone knows. „ Instead, they will be serendipitous events that erupt into the daily routine and break the trance of ordinary awareness. " T h e tiny spark," Epstein writes, "is the precise measure of the holiness of the world."

V I R G O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): D o

not under any circumstances burp, fart and sneeze at the same time. For that matter, Virgo, refrain from leaping into the air while blowing up balloons and chewing gum. And never, ever go out to do nitpicky errands as you meditate on the painful events of your childhood and try to dream up a smarter long-range financial strategy. This week, more than ever, you need to cultivate a one-track mind. For now, tunnel vision is the truth and the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 2 3 - O c t . 22): "Seek moderation in all things" is usually a sound principle, but in the coming weeks it won't be for you Libras. You'll have a cosmic m a n d a t e to replace it with "More is always better" or " O n l y too m u c h is enough." It'll be your sacred d u t y to pursue extravagance that might be self-indulgent at any other time. I'll even go so for as to say that it will be a sin for you not to stir u p as m a n y f u n exploits and joyous liberations as possible. That's why I suggest that you tell four different people four different dates for the anniversary of your coming into the world — say September 28, O c t o b e r 4, O c t o b e r 11, and O c t o b e r 18. T h e n throw yourself a birthday party on each of

will be furthered or accomplished by coming. Expect a time of effortlessness, relaxation and poetry, hanging out, maybe a little mindfulness meditation — all for nothing. Some might understand this as a protest against our culture's speedy, goal-driven nature, b u t we k n o w it won't a m o u n t to a hill of beans. G o o d intentions and purposefulness m u s t be checked

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

means exactly what they say. But I'm merely your five-minutes-a-week

22-Dec. 21): I k n o w you have too m a n y things to d o already — "insanely busy" is t o o restrained a description of your r h y t h m — b u t if you can carve out a little time and would like to align yourself gracefully with the prevailing astrological forces, I have a suggestion: Write letters of thanks to everyone w h o has played a seminal role in inspiring you to become yourself. W h o were your guides along the way — b o t h the intense teachers and the inadvertent helpers? W h o saw you for w h o you really are? W h o nudged you in the direction of your fuller destiny? As you prepare the way for the next phase of your life's work, it's a perfect m o m e n t to acknowledge those w h o awakened you to your signature truths.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
