COVER-UP COVERAGE

Thank you, Kari Lydersen, for the article on Project Censored [“Project Censored,” September 24]. It is great to see this kind of article because, even though the stories are not impossible to find, the lack of cover age of the news of important stories like these in the mass media is a sad commentary on our society. And the Web site for Project Censored at www.projectcensored.org is good. It is good because the information is easily accessible.

For maybe a year, I’ve been delighted to be a regular reader of Seven Days, having special interest in your out standing music coverage. The Septem ber 17 issue included a distinguished full-page feature by Robert Resnik about Burlington’s bluegrass and oldtimey ensemble, the Pine Island String Band [“Fine Pining”]. Pine Island used to play here in Bratdeboro at the old Chelsea House Folklore Center, as well as at the Mole’s Eye. , Back in the 1970s, string bands were springing, up all over the 4. . Northeast coffeehouse circuit, and Pine Island was among the best. Around the time the group broke up, Gordon Stone recorded his Scratchiri the Surface LP with other

members of the band — David Gusakov, Tim McKenzie and Jimmy Ryan. The CD reissue of Stone’s album is a great reminder that the genre blending championed by Pine Island was a very early example of the sort of jazz and roots fusion that is quite popular today. Robert Resnik did a wonderful job of capturing the band and its times in Burlington. It’s the best Pine Island notice I ever remember read ing. It was great, too, that he thought to mention Nancy Beaven (rhymes with heaven) and The N-Zones. Thanks to Robert Resnik and Seven Days.

I have a modest proposal. I think it is time to legalize heroin. Why should we legalize such a destructive product? The short answer is that the mar ketplace demands that we do. Apparently there are people in the marketplace who want this stuff, and, as we all know, when a segment of the market (we used to call it community, but those quaint old days are gone) wants something, it

must be provided at a fair, or at least tolerable, price. So... what the mar ket wants, the market gets. This has been an important lesson for me to learn, and now that I have, I would like to share how I learned it. Apparently there are some wrong headed people in our community — sorry — marketplace that do not approve of Sport Utility Vehicles as a valid choice for personal transporta tion. These people natter on about air pollution and global warming

i u

and dangerous driving conditions, as well as an ever-increasing dependency on foreign oil as a result of everincreasing consumption. I guess these SUVs use a lot more gas than other personal transportation choices. They also talk about how maybe we could conserve finite oil supplies by cutting down on the amount we use. Things along those lines. Anyway, among these wrong headed people in the marketplace are some that actually confront the peo

ple who chose SUVs. They do things like write into the newspaper. Some even distribute mock parking tickets that are meant to explain to the indi vidual SUV owner that his/her choice is wrong and dangerous. I have heard some of the respons es of the SUV consumers and deal ers: The consumers believe that they have the right to purchase any prod uct they find appealing. Hooray for them! The dealers maintain that they are simply providing the marketplace with what the marketplace demands. And they are generating great amounts of income in the process. Double hooray for the dealers! How does this relate to legalizing heroin? The needs of the market place must dominate our lives, and we all need to roll up our sleeves (and in some cases, tie off and find a vein) and do what the marketplace demands, regardless of any conse quences (especially to other people). So, consumers want heroin. Dealers can provide heroin at a profit. In the interests of the almighty market place, heroin must be legalized! Hooray for heroin! Frank O'Neil CHARLOTTE VET VENT

the Brady Act/2nd Amendment gun rights. To date, there is absolutely no response to this request. This reac tion is almost identical to Sen. Leahy’s office, which returns emails completely unanswered, and Rep. Sanders’ office, which also ignores questions on Brady. I assume from this Sen. Jeffords supports gun con trol. Senator Jeffords’ stand on veter ans’ rights and benefits is anti-veter an. I asked his office 18 months ago (he is on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee) if he supported giving disabled veterans full food-stamp benefits without a means test, whether he supported increasing V.A. pension benefits, and described to his staffers an incident in a V.A. hospital in New York City in which a hospitalized veteran was murdered (in Feb. 1990). No reply has been forthcoming... Jeffords is a mouthpiece for the Veterans Administration, his inde pendence is the real joke, and, like his two colleagues, his concern about constituent matters is totally second ary to simply being one of the super visors of society. He is not going to rock the boat with any agency or lobby in Washington that could affect his staying in office. His switching parties was merely a falling out among thieves. R onald C.

'***-'!£

vents o f the last month indicate Republican Gov. J im D o u g la s has suddenly realized a good image on the environment is key to his winning a second term in office. But does the image match the reality? Everybody knows Jimmy D campaigned as ar champion of job growth and economic development. He promised to build the Circumferential Highway and he repeatedly trashed environmental groups such as the Conservation Law Foundation for opposing it. Douglas went all out on the campaign trail to portray CLF as the S a d d a m H u s s e in o f Vermont. In the 49-page “Douglas Vision,” a docu ment slicker than deer guts on a doorknob, there are 14 chapters including Transpor tation, Tax Policy, Technology and Education. But, surprisingly for a Vermont politician, there wasn’t a single chapter titled “Environment.” The closest Jimmy D got to addressing environmental concerns came in the “Permit Reform” section. “We must lift the oppressive regulatory burden,” wrote Douglas, “and ensure that the permitting p excess is predictable, consis ten t and fist.” • & At the top of Candidate Douglas’ to-do list was removing what he termed “out-ofstate special-interest groups” from the Act 250 process. Apparendy Jimmy D refuses to accept the fact that CLF has had an office full of dedicated environmental watchdogs in Montpeculiar for more than a decade. And the record indicates that CLF’s “special interest” has been to uphold and defend the environmental laws of the state and nation. CLF has been defined by its dogged deter mination to use the courts to force Jimmy D & Co. to abide by the laws they’re sup posed to enforce. Clearly, when it comes to the environ ment, Jim Douglas has positioned himself as the leading advocate for our investor-owned electric utilities and Big Box shopping-cen ter developers. A few weeks ago we asked the Gov why he hadn’t said a word about the Bush administration’s new rule allowing coal- and oil-burning Midwest power plants to expand without installing air-pollution controls. Douglas said at the time that he thought the attorney general’s office was looking into the matter, but was unaware of the status. Then something changed dramatically on the Fifth Floor. Sources tell Seven Days Jimmy D ’s political spinmeisters realized that the Gov’s perpetual bashing of environ mentalists, which worked on the campaign trail, was hurting his gubernatorial image. This is Vermont, after all, not New Jersey. At his very next weekly press conference, Douglas suddenly took ownership of the lawsuit that a week earlier he knew very lit tle about. While never mentioning the presi dent by name, Douglas condemned the Bush administration’s move, calling it “bad for Vermont.” And like his predecessor, H ow ard D ea n , Douglas signed an executive order calling for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Obviously, some serious environmental , damage control was under way...........

Douglas’ transformation from environ mental basher to environmental champion has been startling. And this week, Jimmy D used the picturesque backdrop of Mississquoi Bay in Swanton to announce a “Clean Water Plan” designed to reduce phosphorous pollution in Lake Champlain. He even called for the establishment of an annual Clean Water Day in Vermont! This from the lips of a man who a month ago was touting his beloved Circ Highway project as an “environmental” program! Does the new image match the reality? Well, consider that this week the same Douglas administration is officially giving renewable-energy sources like wind and solar power a big thumbs down. J o n a th a n L e sse r , the controversial and press-shy planning director at Douglas’ Department of Public Service, recently wrote that requir ing Green Mountain Power and CVPS to adopt renewable portfolio standards (RPS) to wean us off the burning of fossil fuels “will neither serve to advance renewable technology at the national level, nor provide significant improvements in Vermont’s envi ronmental quality, nor provide a strong engine for economic growth ip. the state.” According to Lesser’s September 22 letter to the Public Service Board, requiring our electric companies to use more renewableenergy sources would “exacerbate already high electric rates and weaken the Vermont economy — something the state’s residents and businesses can ill afford.” Neither a Saudi Arabian sheik nor a member of GM P’s board of directors could have said it better than Mr. Lesser. The sad part is that Lesser works for the department that’s supposed to represent Vermont con sumers, not oil sheiks or GMP stockholders. P a tr ic k B erry, spokesman for the Vermont Natural Resources Council, point ed out that nowhere in Lesser’s six-page let ter “does he mention any empirical evidence to back up his claim that RPS will increase electric rates.” Berry calls it “a regressive energy policy.” CLF’s C hris K ilia n , who’s been on the receiving end of Jimmy D ’s brickbats, called Gov. Douglas’ recent environmental pro nouncements “lip service.” While Jimmy D talks a new environmental talk, he’s hardly walking a new environmental walk. Kilian noted our Republican governor “is planning on cutting Efficiency Vermont’s budget while describing the Circ Highway as a way to curb air pollution. It’s a joke!” he said. Funny stuff, eh? S p e a k in g o f t h e Circ — As of last Thursday, Gov. Douglas was not aware that attorneys representing the Federal Highway Administration, the Vermont Agency of Transportation and environmental oppo nents such as CLF, Friends of the Earth and the Sierra Club had struck a deal that halts Circ construction until next summer. The environmental groups had threat ened to go to court to seek an injunction to halt construction if the bulldozers started rolling. Apparently the government felt they

T he flame ignited fumes from the insect spray, causing a blaze that destroyed his apartm ent and two neighboring apartments. A police representative put the damage at $351,400. • Patrick H ahn’s dreams o f becoming a firefighter ended when the 27-year-old Philadelphia m an died in a fire in his bedroom. Investigators said that the blaze was probably caused by smoking in bed. “Maybe he fell asleep,” Detec tive Sgt.

I’ve only seen this a cou ple o f times in 26 years. It’s highly unusual.”

N o t J u s t A S ta g e ennifer Bloomfield has changed her name, but she’s always stayed true to the Burlington theater scene. Next to the prolif ic S te p h e n G old b erg, Bloomfield — now S h o s h a n n a B o ra y — is the Queen City’s most persistent playwright. She’s written and staged seven plays since she graduated from Brown a dozen years ago, and they’ve all been serious undertakings, from Escaping Warsaw, which paired two Americans and two Poles struggling “with new freedoms, love and war,” to Apples and Stones, described as “an unreasonable demand for passion in very reasonable times.” In con trast, Witches Brew sounds like a hoot, timed to coincide with Halloween. It’s a cabaret-style re-imagining of Macbeth set in a medieval nightclub with music by Craig M itch ell. Boray samples Shakespeare in her own story about “a young politician who gets the message from otherworldly sources that he’s going to come into great power. W ith the nudging of his wife,” Boray explains, “he decides to take fate into his own hands and does so in a very bloody way.” Yo, George W, Bush? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Act'u«dty; the Way Witches’ Brew is cofning together is m<#*reminiscent of Saucy Jack~and the SpacTVixens, *a local sci-fi cult hit from seven years ago that mixed similar talent in the same intimate first-floor theater space at 135 Pearl. • Witches Brew opens jthere next Thursday, October 9, and plays for three consecutive weekends . . . The run is over for Vermont Theatrical Supply in Colchester. After 23 years, the area’s premier entertainment out fitter closed abruptly last Friday. “They gave us a week-and-a-half notice,” says B e ts e y L ord, who once owned the company with her husband, A n d rew . The operation moved from the back porch of a house to a storefront on Riverside Drive and, finally, to Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester. In 1994, the couple sold their business to Bostonbased High O utput Inc. but Betsey stayed on as regiQiral manager. Vermont Theatrical Supply was the only place in town where you could rent lighting gels and gobos, which came in handy for television stations, nightclubs, deejays, theater groups and, occasionally, visiting film crews. Lord also concedes the company “kind of organized the union” of local stagehands, which is cel ebrating its 20th anniversary this year. W ithout access to rentable smoke machines, will all those trained technicians have enough to do? Large presenters like the Flynn Center tend to have their own equip ment. But smaller troupes like Lyric Theatre and Vermont Stage “are going to be kind of stranded,” Lord suggests. “They’re going to have to go to New York or Massachusetts” to get what they once had right here.

BRIGHT LIGHTS, SMALL CITY Vergennes is too tiny to show up on any Top-100 list of urban arts centers in America. But its “creative economy” sure is thriving. Artists are reclaiming the city’s old abandoned buildings. The once-moribund Main Street now sports a romantic bistro * and a gourmet food emporium. That means more eating options for opera singer and

arts administrator M argot B u tto n , who was hired last month to be the first execu tive director of the Vergennes Opera House — the ongoing reclamation of which is directly responsible for the small city’s ren aissance. The lively New Zealand native came to Vermont from Boston, where she ran an arts education company that brought opera into schools. She did her post-grad work at the Boston Conservatory and for seven years has been directing the “science opera” that is part of Harvard’s annual spoofing Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. She taught two “opera camps” for the Flynn last summer. But Button had another career — in business — before she started singing for her supper. Her experience in law, account ing and computers should help the opera house find fresh funding sources. Plus she’s working with Artistic Director T im Tavcar to explore program ming direc tions for the | intimate venue. Button sug gests contemporary American music would be a natural niche. W hen she’s not at the office, Button teaches voice in her own private studio at the former Ferrisburgh Artisans Guild . . . 11 th Street Studio has also gone south to — where else? — Vergennes. Renowned in Burlington for its wacky pre-Christmas sale, the company has moved from its Pine Street studio above Recycle North to the vacant top floor of an old building overlooking the Otter Creek Falls. Owners R ich a rd and K ate D o n n e lly , who also have bought an old Victorian house in town, are hoping their Burlington customers will come on down. “Is it too much to travel 22 bucolic miles to find the superb, the sublime, the queerest and most unseemly holiday gifts north of the East Village?” Richard asks rhetorically. To offset the inconvenience, the sale is expanding to two weekends this year. A portion of the profits will, go to creating a scholarship for a college-bound art student at Vergennes High School. Meanwhile, back in Burlington, the old 11 th Street space is already filled. With a couple of cans of pink paint and a mini disco ball, V ic to r ia M oore and friends transformed it into SalsaLina — Burlington’s first dance studio devoted exclusively to Salsa dancing instruc tion. The same group used to operate out of the St. John’s Club. At the front of the class, in skin-tight black pants and a head set, Moore looks like the female bullfighter in Pedro Almodovar’s Talk to Her. But her exotic accent is Hungarian. “Everybody thinks I’m from Argentina or Brazil,” says Moore, who is a banker by day. Something in the way she moves? ®

THE PUZZLE:

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

dict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in m ind 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's basement is carpeted with ASTROTURF so she can practice miniature golf. British sailors were called limeys because they ate LIMES to avoid scurvy. Fannie can't drink grasshoppers because she's allergic to CREME DE MENTHE. On the shelves of her sauna are two dozen miniature CACTI. Fannie once had an amorous adventure on a PING-PONG TABLE. After crushing her pet PRAYING MANTIS, Biff said, "You wanted dat ting?" Hoping to win Fannie's favor, Travis dumped two tons of BROCCOLI on her lawn. Fannie once had an amorous adventure on a GOLF COURSE. Dorothy had an amorous adventure with the Wizard in the EMERALD City of Oz. Leprechauns love to garnish their pork butts with FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS.

G ot Lies?

he spectacle of the Bush administration trying to lie its way out of the fiasco in Iraq would be funny if it weren’t so — what’s the word? Pathetic? Outrageous? Insulting? I’d write about something else if they gave me a chance, but they never do. Lying is what this pack of varmints does best, and most. W hen they aren’t lying, they’re “misspeaking.” And when they’re not doing that, they’re making it up. “The pattern is clear,” says columnist Robert Scheer in the Los Angeles Times: “Say what you want people to believe for the front page and on TV, then whisper a halfhearted correction or apology that slips under the radar. It is really quite ingenious in its cynical effectiveness.” Scheer thinks the American public might finally be wak ing up “to the stupid and craven things being done in [its] name,” but I’m not so sanguine.

poised to snatch the governorship of California right now. The era of the halfwit is apparently secure. Take Colin Powell — please. I was never one of those people who thought Powell was a hero just because he’s a white-looking black man who busted Saddam’s ass during Gulf War I. No, I fig ured Powell was just a general in the Army —- like Norman Schwarzkopf and Wesley Clark — and that generals, along with sports figures, shouldn’t be allowed to say anything once they leave the field. In my book, this is an unbendable rule, even though a general, Dwight D. Eisen hower, once served two terms as U.S. pres ident without blowing us up. Generals should be out there leading the troops, if you ask me, mapping out strategies and burning down cities. They shouldn’t be explaining themselves all over the place, as Powell’s been doing lately, with results that convince me he’s either as deceitful as his masters or dumber than a box of rocks. “There was every reason to believe — and I still believe — that there were weapons of mass destruction and weapons programs” in Iraq, Powell said on Sunday, facing the nation on ABC’s “This Week.” The Bushmen sent him out to say this, of course, as they always do, because exactly the opposite is true: There are no WMDs whatsoever in Iraq, as Dubya’s special envoy, former U.N. weapons inspector David Kay, is expected to tell Congress this week in a “classified” report. This already has the White House spinmeisters consult ing their Crazy 8 balls in an effort to cope. Not only that, but Powell himself was caught last week in a trap of his own devis ing, when reminded of a statement he

made in February 2001, after his first trip to the Middle East as Secretary of State. Saddam Hussein, said Powell at the time, “has not developed any significant capabili ty with respect to weapons of mass destruc tion. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq, and these are poli cies that we are going to keep in place.” Asked what might have changed over the past two years to account for such a complete about-face, the good general replied, “A lot,” adding, “I don’t find any thing inconsistent between what I said then and what I’ve said all along.” Enter Condoleezza Rice, who also popped up on Sunday to say, “It was very clear,” before we invaded Iraq, that Saddam Hussein had “continued” his weapons program after Gulf War I and that this program was “a gathering danger.” In England, they’re about to hang Tony Blair for saying the same thing, when the whole world knows it’s a lie. But on goes Dr. Rice, spouting untruth, and General Powell, wiping the sweat from his brow as he < ^ s his grav^fK l shames his country in the service of oil and money. Saddam “used poison gas to kill 5000 Kurds in 1988,” Powell retorts — as if we hadn’t sold the stuff ourselves, in buckets, to any two-bit dictator with cash on the line. “Now,” says Powell, “if you want to believe that he [Saddam] suddenly gave up that weapon and had no further interest in those sorts of weapons, whether it be chemical, biological or nuclear, then I think you’re — it’s a bit naive to believe that.” It’s a bit naive to believe anything from the mouths of these creeps, as the voters in Florida and Texas might have told you before now. Pinocchio himself — that’s Dubya, folks — turned up in New York last week, osten sibly asking for help from the United Nations he once scorned, while insisting that “no mistakes” had been made in Iraq and flipping the pages of his speech both forward and backward while pretending to read it. Did anyone else notice that? My mother pointed it out to me between bouts of Tourette’s syndrome, which she says has been brought on by watching too much TV news. Words and curses she never knew she knew now come flying out of her mouth whenever she sees that block of wood — I paraphrase — preening for the cameras. “Events during the past two years have set before us the clearest of divides,” said Dubya to the world, “between those who seek order, and those who spread chaos; between those who work for peaceful change, and those who adopt the methods of gangsters.” His speech fell as flat as the land around Crawford, where, if there’s a God, he’ll be clearing more brush than he can handle after 2004. Meantime, Laura’s on a trip to Europe, spreading “literacy” on the only continent left in the world that arguably doesn’t need it. Someone should tell the First Librarian that good works begin at home. ® E m a il P e te r a t p e te r k u r th @ p e te r k u r th .c o m

Your columnist doubts it. Your columnist doubts every thing. But in this case he’s got a lot of company. Multiple personality disorder, now officially known as dissociative identity disorder (DID), remains the object of bitter contro versy. One things clear, though — it’s not nearly as com mon as people thought just a few years ago. Possible cases o f split personality have been reported in the medical literature since the early 19th century, and the condition was formally defined in the first years of the 20th. But until recendy it was considered extremely rare — fewer than 200 cases were described before 1980. The diagnosis became much more common in the ’80s for several reasons. One was the phenomenal popularity of Flora Schreiber’s 1973 book Sybil, which told o f a woman with 16 personali ties. Stories of “multiples,” fictionalized or otherwise, were nothing new — The Three Faces o f Eve dates from 1954, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” from way back in 1886 — but Sybil made a crucial innovation, intro ducing the idea that multiple personalities stemmed from trauma during early childhood. Around the same time, child-protection advocates and feminists began arguing that child abuse, especially sexual abuse, occurred far more often than previously supposed. And in the late ’70s, in a phenomenon thought to be linked to the resurgence of Christian fundamentalism, reports of so-called satanic ritual abuse first captured the public’s imagination. Presented with, on one hand, allegations of an unrecog

nized epidemic o f crimes against innocents and, on the other, a simple mechanism to explain why their troubled patients couldn’t remember any abuse (i.e., the personality divides in order to shield itself from horrific memories), a small but devoted group of therapists began diagnosing multiple personality disorder with alarming frequency — more than 20,000 cases had been reported by 1990. Under the influence o f hypnosis and other techniques, subjects reported dozens, hundreds or even thousands of “alters” whose behavior, age, sex, language and occasionally species differed from that of their everyday personas. Alters were coaxed into revealing bloodcurdling stories of abuse by family members, or of sacrificing their own babies to shadowycnlts. Orm prominent-multiple personality-specialist claipied that the ^tan ic network programmed alters into its victims, which it cduld then trigger to act in certain ways by sending them color-coded flowers. By the early 1990s it began to dawn on rational folk just how preposterous the whole business was. Having investigated more than 12,000 accusations over four years, researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Illinois at Chicago determined that not a single case of satanic ritual abuse had been substantiated. A 1992 FBI study arrived at the same conclusion: Overeager therapists had planted hor ror stories in the minds of their patients. In 1998, psychologist Robert Rieber made a convincing case, based on an analysis o f audiotapes, that even the famous Sybil had confabulated her multiple personalities at the insistence of her therapist. The bubble burst, and diagnoses of multiple personalities subsided. OK, so it was all a case of mass hysteria. The question remains: Are multiple personalities ever real? The debate still rages. Skeptics claim that alters are invariably induced by the therapist; the more respectable defenders of D ID agree that many are, but not all. The controversy has been com plicated by disagreement over the nature of personality. The common understanding o f D ID is that the alters are inde pendent of one another and don’t share memories and other cognitive processes, but demonstrating this has proven diffi cult. Speech and behavior are under conscious control, so changes can readily be faked. Even things like brain-wave patterns may vary not because o f a genuine personality switch but because alleged alters cultivate different emotion al states and different ways o f acting out. In a recent study of several D ID patients, successive alters were asked to memorize different sets o f words. W hen alter B was asked whether she recognized a word memorized only by alter A, she often hesitated. That suggests a conscious process — I m ’ not supposed to know this — indicating the personalities aren’t truly independent. Research continues, but my feeling is this: Assuming that the diagnoses o f the past 25 years were trumped-up and that the couple hundred cases reported between 1800 and 1979 represent the true incidence o f the syndrome, we’re talking about maybe one or two cases per year. If D ID is as rare as all that, what’s the big deal? CECIL ADAMS

Q u e e r E ye for the B a d G uy?

he biggest reason why Howard D eans popularity has skyrocketed while the President’s approval rat ing has crashed is w ithout doubt the souring of public sentim ent over the situation in Iraq. O n Sunday m orning talk shows, adm inistration heads appear ever more flummoxed, struggling to con vince viewers that U.S. forces are achieving some thing worthwhile by rebuilding that country and helping to create a representative government. You can read the frustration on their faces as they strain to figure out what the public wants them to say, and what it will take to get the American people behind the C om m ander-in-C hief again. As anyone who spends more time in front o f the T V than on it can tell you, the answer is simple: D on’t take it over, make it over! Americans have a limited attention span when it comes to complex, draw n-out foreign-policy

imbroglios. O n the other hand, there evidently is no end to our interest in makeovers. All the W hite House has to do to win back support for U.S. action in Iraq is take its cue from some o f televi sion’s m ost popular shows: for example, by balanc ing reports by journalists such as C N N ’s Christine A m anpour w ith live feeds from “Trading Spaces” host Paige Davis. I’m sure the conservative folks at Fox News would have no problem playing along. Just as she does on the weekly TLC megahit, Davis could offer viewers before-and-after peeks into Iraqi homes in dire need o f designer intervention. Between Saddam’s looting o f his nation’s resources and American bunker busters, lots o f Baghdad domiciles with real promise are not currendy fulfilling their style potential. If the latest ratings are any indica tion, U.S. involvement in the G ulf would quickly take on new relevance for the average viewer as the perky T V personality unveiled to American audi ences one snazzfly restored living space after another. W hat could be more perfect than a series on the repair and restoration o f the former tyrant’s absurdly luxurious palaces by the team from “W hile You Were O u t”? Normally the show’s crew rushes in and transforms a favorite space with the help o f a husband or wife while the spouse is tem porarily away. T he potential surprise arrival by the missing party would be less a factor in this case, of course, what w ith 150,000-plus troops on the lookout for Hussein. Nevertheless, I’m certain the show’s fans would find this a real treat. If this war is ever going to become more popu lar, w hat it needs is fewer adm inistration types and m ore personalities like “H om e Again” host Bob Villa. T he average citizen has a hard time relating to wonks w ith complex — or even not so complex — global strategies. Especially when those strategies tend to place the average citizen’s sons and daughters in harm ’s way. T his conflict in Iraq seems to have more than its share. At the same time, few things strike a chord with working-class viewers like the sight o f someone

who’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty. W hether it’s getting Baghdad’s power back on or rebuilding the city’s infrastructure, something tells me Americans would get a lot more excited about the process if Villa provided step-by-step accounts. T he last thing U.S. citizens want is another Vietnam- style quagmire. They want this war over, ^and the troops on a plane home, at the earliest opportunity. So, when you need a mess taken care o f in a hurry, who you gonna call? The cast and crew o f T L C ’s newest contribution to makeover media, “Clean Sweep.” T he folks on this show are used to creating functional living space out o f clutter and chaos, and G od knows Iraq has no shortage o f both. Television news viewers would surely get behind the effort if reporters were embedded with the “Clean Sweep” crew as it rolled through the coun try and transformed acres o f burnt-out vehicles, radioactive artillery casings and rubble into attrac tive public spaces. T he President may not realize it, but there is a secret weapon that could turn his poor ratings around. He should forget about W M D s and think GW M s. Five o f them, in fact — from Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” Kyan, Ted, Jai, T hom and Carson have quickly become America’s favorite special-ops unit. They’re like superheroes with mighty powers in the areas of interior design, fashion, culture, food and wine, and grooming. Each week they qome t 6 the rescue o f a clueless hetero and transform the guy “from drab to fab.” And when you get right down to it, isn’t that pretty m uch our mission in Iraq at this point? Whole sectors o f disgruntled Americans would see Dubya in a new light if he called in these guys. I can see them playing a vital role both domestically and abroad. At home, of course, the first order of business would be to transform Bush’s image from ornery cowboy to Visionary M an of the People. Can’t you just see it? “Fashion Savant” Carson descends on the W hite House, swishes past Secret Service personnel and blows through the President’s quarters, stuffing Levis, rattlesnake-hide boots and leather jackets into Hefiy bags while scolding, “Swear to me now — no more fighter pilot outfits. Ever!” Meanwhile, “Culture Vulture” Jai could offer a crash course in world history, tutoring the President on the pronunciation o f tricky foreign names. “Groom ing G uru” Kyan could be in charge o f turning that GI Joe coif into something a little more George Clooney. Overseas, the fab five could make up for all the troops our allies won’t cough

up. O ne look at these guys and the average Saddam loyalist will head for the hills. “Terror” will take on a whole new meaning for them. U.S. forces have rounded up most of Saddam’s top-ranking cohorts and blown up two o f his pathological offspring, but so far they’ve come up empty with regard to the big Limburger himself. N othing would restore faith in our military leader ship and American activities in Iraq as fast or as fully as the former dictator’s seizure. The bugaboo is, even if they did happen to find him, our troops probably wouldn’t recognize him. There’s been a great deal o f speculation in the media about whether the ousted lout has altered his appearance in order to elude capture. News consultants have conjectured everything from a shaved mustache to multiple plastic surgeries. This is a problem, but there is a way the Bushies could turn it to their advantage: They could make the search for Saddam into a real-life series a la “Extreme Makeover.” T he popular ABC program tracks the trans figuration o f people w ho seek personal fulfill m ent through tum m y tucks, liposuction, lip reduction (or enlargem ent), breast augm enta tion (or reduction), Lasik eye surgery, rh in o plasty and other procedures. T h e way I see it, the governm ent ought to take a tip from the show and book a weekly block o f tim e on, say, C-SPAN and play to the same viewer interest. Each week a different cosm etic surgeon could present his or her professional opinion on w hat the missing dictator probably looks like today, based on the com bination o f procedures they believe he’s m ost likely to have undergone. M an o f a thousand faces? T he possibilities are end less. As is the potential for contests with huge, crowd-pleasing cash prizes. If the President’s advi sors were smart, they’d set up the show so viewers could call in and vote, “American Idol’ -style, for the Saddam Makeover o f their choice. Once he’s in custody, players who made the best guess would win big. In the meantime, they and millions of other Americans would feel a lot more comm itted to the W hite House’s efforts. Successful politicians have always looked to pop ular culture for cues when attempting to connect with the public. Ronald Reagan invoked icons as disparate as Clint Eastwood and Bruce Springsteen. In his quest to rally support, George W. Bush might be well advised to embrace the heroes from today’s equally influential makeover movement. Otherwise, he just may find himself trading spaces after the next election. ®

B u sh to put the Circ on the presidential “fast track,” promised last June that the bulldozers would roll this fall. But Seven Days has obtained a letter written by Assistant U.S. Attorney H e a th e r R oss, in which she writes that the parties have agreed to a “stipulated briefing schedule” that will allow a federal judge to rule on the case sometime next May at the earliest. In return, writes Ross, “The agencies will agree to perform only a minimal amount of construction activity, including an official groundbreaking ceremony, survey work, setting up staging areas and some utility relocation work.” According to B r ia n D u n k ie l, attorney for Friends of the Earth, the enviros view the projects fasttracking by Dubya as a potential violation of federal law. P.S. — In Washington, the story of the week involves White House leaks that may have exposed a covert CIA agent. Closer to home, there’s word of an investiga tion into leaks involving the Circ Highway case. A few weeks ago, a confidential letter from Attorney Dunkiel to state transportation officials, we’re told, quickly made its way into the hands of the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation, a pro development, pro-Circ outfit.

Progressive Party leaders appear cozy-comfy with the notion that Burlington’s seven-term Progressive Mayor P e te r C la v elle is running for governor as a Democrat. An email to Proggies last week from vice-chair E lle n D avid F r ie d m a n suggested Vermont Progressives’ top priority for 2004 should be to rally behind Clavelle’s candidacy even if he has chosen the Democrat label. The party’s second priority, wrote Friedman, should be getting a Progressive Party candidate elected lieutenant governor. In a Seven Days interview this week, Friedman said she expects Progressive A n th o n y P o llin a to once again run for Gov-Lite in 2004. And, she expects Peter Clavelle to endorse him!

“spoiler” role that Tony the Prog played in the 2002 Gov-Lite race. Pollina finished third, but his can didacy split the left and clearly pre vented an easy victory for Demo crat P e te r S h u m lin . In 2002, no one loved Anthony more than Republican B ria n D u b ie. Dubie didn’t have a bad word to say abbut Tony, because Tony was Doobie-Doo’s key to victory. It’s quite rare to see a statewide candidate win with just 41 percent of the vote, but win he did. And surely Lt. Gov. Dubie would be delighted to see his pal Tony take another shot in 2004. Please, please, please, Anthony! So far, Burlington Democrat J o h n Tracy, the former House Democratic leader, has expressed interest in running for Gov-Lite. Other trial balloons should follow. But can anyone imagine what would happen to a Democratic gubernatorial candidate who declined to endorse his Democratic running mate? O r endorsed Progs in legislative races in which they faced Democratic opponents? Taking Pollina out early ought to be Job One for Monsieur Clavelle. We have a simple sugges tion. How about if “Gov.” Clavelle offered Tony the Prog a position in his gubernatorial cabinet? Anthony hasn’t had a real job in ages. Wouldn’t Mr. Pollina make an outstanding Secretary of Agriculture? Think about it. D ean W atC h 2004 — Two months

Despite the popular perception, said Sanders, Republicans are no longer marching in lockstep with Dubya. Bernie cited, four key issues: the Orwellian Patriot Act, cash-balance pensions, the new FCC ownership rules and prescription drugs. They’ve caused Republicans to break ranks with President Bush and vote with the Democrats and Bernie. “I don’t know if the media has necessarily caught up with it,” said OF Bernardo, “but as the Bush administration becomes exposed for what they are, an extreme right-wing administration, a lot of folks in Congress in the Repub lican Party are beginning to break away from them. That’s why we are having success.” At last — a light at the end of the tunnel! M ary F a n n y U p d a te — So when are heads really going to roll on the gazillion-dollar Renaissance Scan dal on Hospital Hill? There’s no dispute that FAHC administrators lied while trustees, at best, looked the other way and played dumb. For $400 million, we’re getting a Taj Mahal for doctors and researchers, but not one additional bed for a sick Vermonter.

Van de Graff told Seven Days his office’s job is to “process infor mation, figure out what happened and make a judgment on any criminal or civil liability.” “Because of the complexity of the chain of events,” said Van de Graaf, “that can’t be done overnight.” Patience, folks.

Guess there just wasn’t room for Louise on Ch. 3’s informative newscast.

According to cam paign finance reports for the first half of 2003, O f Red wrote the Vermont G O P a check for $5000. Mr. Martin should also get an award for the kid-glove treatment his news department has given the Douglas administration.

STORY

KEN P IC A R D

urlington’s Paquette Arena was chilled to its usual meat-locker briskness when Betsey Krum holz and her hus band Charlie arrived for their son’s first day o f hockey practice. It was an early m orning in September 1991 as their son A.J. and a dozen or so other gear-clad kindergarteners scampered onto the ice. W hen the Krumholzes signed up their son for the “M ites” Division o f the Burlington Amateur Hockey Association, they knew sever al parents w ould be sharing the coaching duties, which basically means teaching kids the fundam en tals o f the game. But they had no idea who else would be on their bench. “We show up the first m orning o f practice and out skates the newly m inted governor,” Betsey Krumholz remembers. “It was surprising, to say the least.” Little did she know then that A.J. could one day claim he learned how to face off from Howard Dean, the left wingman o f the Dem ocratic Party. “Howard was out there in these beat-up old skates and this beat-up old bom ber jacket, and he was having more fun than the kids,” Krumholz says. “We would set up these milk crates with the hockey sticks lying across them to teach the kids how to take a dive head-first and use their

pads effectively. A nd Howard would be the first one out there diving on his belly.” W here else can you find the state’s highest elected official belly-flopping across the red line? O nly in Vermont, as the W ashington pundits m ight say. And when push comes to shove, isn’t that why so many Democrats have a problem with Dean — because he’s such a Vermonter? Dean’s harsh est critics w ithin his own party harp on the fact that the Green M ountain State, with its socialist congressman, gay-friendly politics and white-bread demographics, is an unw orthy train ing ground for a serious national con tender. But putting aside for a m om ent Dean’s eagerness to throw off the gloves with President Bush over his tax cuts and the war in Iraq, consider this: W hich is better training for cajoling a boisterous Congress to toe the line? A few congressional sessions o f shmoozing with D upont Circle lobbyists, or several Vermont winters o f rousing the kids out o f warm beds and onto a chilly ice rink at 5 a.m.? A nd when it comes to choosing a com m ander-in-chief who knows when to throw his weight around and when to clear the zone, it’s no contest. Hire a hockey dad. After all, the voice from the bully

pulpit also needs to know how to sugarcoat the unpopular dom estic policies. John Nichols is a past presi dent o f BAHA whose son Eric played on the same team as D ean’s son Paul. W hen their boys were lit tle, Nichols and Dean coached together. “Six-thirty in the m orning on the little rink at Leddy Park and half o f us are still asleep and trying to figure out how to motivate the kids — there was never any question w ho was going to lead them ,” Nichols says. “W hat Howard brought to Saturday and Sunday m ornings — to this day I rem em ber it vividly — is that he always had that smile on his face and was a m otivator o f the kids. ” Adm ittedly, D ean’s early per^-' form ances on the ice, like his early perform ance on the cam paign trail, occasionally lacked polish. “H ow ard was dem onstrating an edge-stop and — I’ll never forget this — he comes skating towards the kids and, as he attem pted to stop, he literally cart wheeled on the ice,” N ichols says. “I don’t rem em ber w hether he hit his head or not, b u t he comes bouncing up like it never h ap pened.” So Dean is no Scott H am ilton. But presidential races, like Stanley C up series, aren’t won with style

points. They’re won with tenacity. In youth hockey, stick season runs from the beginning o f O ctober until March, with even very young players lacing up the skates four or five days a week. T h at’s a serious time com m it m ent for any working parent, never m ind a standing governor whose office is 40 miles away in Montpelier. But neither his executive title nor the length of his com m ute kept Dean from fulfilling his hockey-parent obli gations. “I may be the only presiden tial candidate in the nation who drove the hockey and soccer team carpools every week,” Dean told the Coalition o f Essential Schools in a November 2002 speech. T h at’s no em pty boast, according to parents whose children carpooled with Dean. Mike M orin o f Colchester has a daughter, Jessica, w ho played with Dean’s daughter A nne on the elite N orth American Hockey Academy team in Stowe. “N o m atter where we were going — Hanover, Glen Falls, wherever — he was great about bringing other kids along,” says M orin. In fact, Dean took some flack from environmentalists over his choice of vehicles: a less-than-fuel-efficient ’89 Chevy Blazer. But the former gover nor makes no apologies about his gasguzzling ride. “Well, I drive an SUV.

Naughty, naughty,” Dean told Grist magazine in June. “But I have two children who play hockey and soccer, and there was no way I could do w ithout a seven- or eight-passenger » car. And w ith Bush’s foreign and domestic agenda having a rough sea son, whoever takes over next in the West W ing will need to know a thing or two about multi-tasking, a skill Dean has apparently mastered. “Howard was always there to help out w ith anything that needed to be done,” M orin adds. “He came to practices, he came to all the games, he was always active w ith working the penalty boxes. And, o f course, it was great having him there as a doctor just in case any o f the players got injured.” W hile the Religious Right has con dem ned the form er Vermont governor for signing the civil-union bill into law, anyone who accuses Dean o f being weak on family values had bet ter make a quick line change. D uring D eans 11 years in office, M ontpelier politicos all knew the governor’s cal endar was kept open to accommodate his children’s athletic schedules, espe cially during the playoffs. T h at com m itm ent hasn’t wavered since Dean _ began running for president. The Dean For America Web site notes

that his presidential campaigning is scheduled around his son’s high school hockey games. “He would religiously go to the games. It didn’t m atter if they were local or away,” Nichols confirms. In fact, one year their sons’ team won the state cham pionship and went to Maine to represent Vermont in a New England regional tournam ent. “The bus left at 4:30 in the m orning to get up to Bangor and Howard was there at the other end,” Nichols recalls. “His schedule got changed. O nly he would know the details, but I can’t recall when he wasn’t at a game, quite frankly.” Dean has also chalked up a few nifty assists for girls’ hockey in Vermont. “Howard Dean was respon sible for giving the Vermont High School Girls’ Hockey League a real shot in the arm ,” notes Walter O vBrien, director of women’s hockey for the Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association. D uring the 2000-01 season, Governor Dean offered a $ 10,000 grant to any school athletic program that started a girl’s hockey team. T hat year, the num ber o f Vermont schools with a girls’ team jum ped from four to 14. Today, there are 20, including the Stowe High School team O ’Brien now coaches. “I do know [Dean’s] daughter’s

team, Burlington High School, upset my Stowe team that year in an over time thriller, and he was at the game,” O ’Brien adds. “I joked later with the Burlington coach that the win was our gift of appreciation to Howard for his support o f girls’ hockey.” Though Dean was effective on the power plays, hockey parents who shared the bleachers with him all say he left the politics outside the rink, and vice versa. “O ne of the things that Howard really appreciated with his kids’ involvement with sports was that we treated him — and continue to treat him — as a dad,” says Krumholz. “He was not interested in talking politics on the sidelines. T hat was his respite and everyone respected that.” W hich isn’t to say that Dean’s competitive nature didn’t occasionally show through. “He was a very active cheerer,” notes Morin. “He and I used to sit together and we were pretty vocal when our kids were playing. O u r daughters would always look up at us and go, ‘Oh, no!”’ While it rarely escaped notice which parent was traveling with a security detail from the Vermont State Police, Dean still scored high on the H arry Truman-Everyman scale. “I think maybe folks were a little bit

tim id at first about having the gover nor walking around. Then again, it was pretty cool,” notes Mike Cabral o f Colchester, whose daughters played hockey with the Dean kids. “He was just one o f the parents who would call you up on the phone and say, ‘Hey, we had a change in game tim e,’ and things like that.” “H e’s definitely just your average Joe,” agrees Tim Bilodeau, whose daughter played with Anne Dean. Like Bill Clinton, Dean seems to have a real head for the particulars. “He’s articulate, and he’s articulate about hockey as well. He has a fairly indepth understanding of the game, like a lot o f hockey parents do if you’ve been around the rink for a long tim e.” N ot surprisingly, none of Dean’s fellow hockey parents would speculate about his chances o f putting one in the net in 2004. But political writers and cartoonists probably wouldn’t m ind the infusion of hat tricks, breakaways, penalty boxes, cross checks and other hockey lingo that a Dean presidency might bring to Washington politics. And what hock ey parent wouldn’t relish seeing Marv Albert at the inaugural dinner intro ducing the 44th president o f the United States with just four words: “He shoots, he scores!” ®

Paquette Arena, winter has STORY already set in._ MARGOT Sixteen thousand square feet o f ice HARRISON glare in the artificial light, and a rocking version o f “Carol of the Bells” bounces IMAGES from wall to wall as Jonathan Hayward ANDY flies across the ice. T he 18-year-old skater DUBACK from Colchester does a long line o f foot work, switching feet and twisting back to front in rapid succession before swooping into a counterclockwise circle that spans the whole rink. H e steps into the jum p so quickly that it’s hard for the untrained eye to tell the difference between a “toe-loop” and a “salchow,” but there’s no missing the height or the three firecracker turns in the air. Hayward lands on the front o f his right blade, then glides out o f the jum p as swiftly as he went in. The 2003-04 skating season has begun. Figure skating has a long history in . Vermont, but competitors o f Hayward’s

caliber are something new. Grace Lombard of Jericho, who started coaching skating in 1966, recalls that her early stu dents were mostly interested in recreation. “The Cham plain Valley Skating Club was adults-only; it was a social thing,” says Vicki Hildebrand, a W illiston resident who was one of the first young people adm itted to the club in the early ’70s. “Kids zipping around the rink doing jum ps wasn’t really what they wanted.” Lombard, a University o f Vermont stu dent coach who stuck around after gradu ation, was instrum ental in getting a seri ous training program for young skaters off the ground. In 1975, Vermont sent its first com petitor to the New England Regionals :— the gateway to sectional, national and international competition. T he years since have seen the appearance o f a second Olympic-size rink — South Burlington’s Cairns Arena — and a gener al rise in public interest, thanks to the tel evised antics o f Brian Boitano, Michelle Kwan, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, and other heroes and villains of the sport. Lombard, who still coaches at

Cairns, says that this year Vermont will send six to eight skaters to Regionals. But high-powered com peti tors are only the tip o f the, well, ice rink. T he two Burlingtonarea skating clubs — the Cham plain Valley Skating Club at Leddy Park and the Vermont Skating Club at Cairns — serve a combined 220 members, rang ing in age from 4 to 74. The

Besides the stress o f reloca tion, injuries are com m on in a sport where serious competitors have to leap several feet in the air, spin three or four times and land on a steel blade a quarterinch thick.

Paquette Arena is hom e to the Vermont C hildrens T heater on Ice — a team that competes internationally, perform ing col orful pantom im es — and the Ice Crystals Precision Team, which specializes in synchro nized moves. A ttend a public skating ses sion at either ^rink and you may see teenagers of £ double axels, fortysomething working moms crouched in sitspins, and couples in their sixties waltzing in preparation for a standardized dance test. T he older skaters are just as likely as the young ones to put their music on the sound system and practice a program for com peti tion. Local charitable organizations have recognized the power o f skating mania. In 2001 the Cham plain Valley Junior Service League, a w om ens volunteer organization, presented a splashy spring ice show at U V M ’s Gutterson Arena, featuring local skaters alongside Olympic champions. T he group is cur rently seeking sponsors for a 2004 fundraising extravaganza starring Boitano. M any young fans are drawn into skating by the lure o f a cir cle o f gold. Hayward recalls, “I saw Brian Boitano win the Olympics in Calgary, turned around to my parents and said I would do the same.” He was 6 at the time. Hayward has spent the last 12 years working on realizing one o f the most elusive dreams in the sports world. “C om petitive skating is some thing o f a lifestyle,” he concedes. W ith ice tim e at a premium, 4 a.m. wake-up calls and hom e schooling for young skaters are com m on. Families o f aspiring Olympians often have to pick up and move where the coach ing action is. Originally from N orth Carolina, Hayward worked with Tonya H arding’s

careers. After a hip fracture at age 12, Hayward was told by doctors he m ight never skate again, but “I didn’t w ant to stand for that,” he says. He went on to medal twice at the Junior National Cham pionships and three times at Regionals, and he holds onto his goal o f “shooting for th^O lym pics” — perhaps in 2010 . i But the schedule o f tests and competitions is punishing. M any fans don’t realize how hard it is for skaters simply to work their way up the ranks to the Senior level o f freestyle com petition, where a foil slate of triple jum ps is de rigueur. T hen there’s the money. Practice time, lesson fees, skates — as m uch as $1200 a pair —com petition fees and off-ice conditioning can add up to a whopping $5 OK a year, says Hayward. “Kids can’t do this sport alone. It takes drive, funds and family com m itm ent,” concurs W illiston skate-mom Gloria Miner, whose 12-year-old son Ross has been medaling in regional competitions at the Intermediate level. “You have to take your kid’s dreams and stand behind them .” M artha Harding, who coached extensively in the Boston area before coming to Burlington five years ago, says that the financial factor is proba bly one reason Vermont has never boasted an Olympic skater or national champion. W ith a smaller population and lower average income, the state simply has a smaller “skating base.” “A lot o f times when you get some one who’s qualified and talented, you actually try to take them out o f the area to skate so they can see what the standard is at that competitive level,” Harding says.

skater, the question o f reloca tion looms large. If parents choose to move or com m ute to an urban center, will there be a pay-off for the expense and potential strain on the family? If they stay put, will they always wonder what might have been? A num ber of factors convinced the Miners to com m ute to the Boston Skating Club, where Ross trains 15 to 18 hours a week. In addition to softer ice — better for jum ps — and more ice time, the Boston rink offers models and motivation. “It helps to be around a lot • o f other kids who are older and better,” says Gloria Miner. Ross particularly benefits from the company o f boys, who are still outnum bered in this bal letic sport by about 12 to one. “You get made fun o f in school,” says Ross, who m an aged to dodge the jibes by playing hockey. His m om adds that the lopsided situation can have its advantages: “H e’s got a lot o f adorable girls around him and he doesn’t m ind a bit.” O ther young competitors have made a conscious deci sion to stay in Vermont — at least for now. Twelve-year-old Emily Young o f Williston, who trains locally and has medaled at the Juvenile level, has long limbs and graceful lines on the ice like her favorite Olympian, Sasha Coherur Currently practicing a program with a battery of explosive double jum ps and com bination spins, Emily says, “It makes you feel special” to skate in Vermont. “You’re struggling a little more [here],” adds her mother, Liz Young. “But when she goes to regional competitions and they announce ‘representing the Vermont Skating C lub,’ people take notice — they haven’t heard that name m uch before.” Given the thorny logistics o f competitive skating, why do young people stick with the sport? Talent itself is a power ful motivator, as is praise from a respected mentor. Hayward recalls Scott H am ilton telling his m om to “D o everything you can to keep this kid on the ice.” But even for kids w ithout a competitive edge, skating teaches “life skills,” H arding suggests. “You’re learning how to set priorities, how to budget your time. You’re learning at a very early age how to deal with success and failure.” N ot to m ention stress. “I get a little bit nervous [when I com pete], but I like being out there all by myself,” says Emily Young, who says her biggest m otivator is “seeing results.” “[Skating] kept me pretty focused,” concurs Hildebrand, who competed as a teen and went on to a high-powered job at Hewlett-Packard. “It gives you a level o f confidence.” O ther motives fuel the increasing num ber o f adults — age 25 and older — who take

SPEED DRTING HUB up or return to figure skating. They may not have a shot at the Olympics, but many still choose to compete in events such as the Adult Nationals, a 10-year-old event to be held next April at Lake Placid. “The quality o f skating is phenom e nal [at these events],” says Harding. But the com petition has a distinctly more laid-back feel with older skaters. Katherine Cadwell o f Fayston, who has competed both as a child and as an adult, says the two experi ences are “light years apart. As an adult, everyone has the same life pressures. There’s a cama raderie about it. If somebody falls and gets up again, every body claps.” Grown-up skaters remind us that there’s more to skating than jumps — something obscured by the T V hoopla over quadruple toe-loops. A skater who landed double jumps at 16, as Cadwell did, may in her forties find them a > significant challenge. But ifi . she’s trained at school figures — the intricate, untelegenic patterns for which figure skat ing is nam ed — she can show amazing grace and control on the ice. T h at’s not to say that adults have to give up the fireworks; Cadwell recalls watching a 75year-old at a national com peti tion spin and land axels. W hile such feats aren’t the norm , more and more senior citizens are stepping out on the ice. Bob and Laura Meyers o f South Burlington, 74 and 64 respectively, have passed their beginning ice dance tests and expect to compete. “Skating, for us, has become our social interaction with others,” says Laura. “We wouldn’t miss a winter in Burlington because o f this.” “I feel its one o f the few things that I’m doing better as I age,” says 68-year-old Shirley Prushko o f Grand Isle, who has been taking lessons and skating four hours a week since her retirement. “W hen you get something even part-way right, you feel the freedom on the ice.” “Freedom” m ight seem like a strange word for a sport that rewards lapses in concentra tion with painful slides on the posterior. But skaters agree, there’s som ething liberating about being on the ice. “W hen I come to the rink, I leave the rest o f my world behind,” says Cadwell. It’s enough to get some Vermonters seeking “w inter” on a balmy sum m er m orning. ®

. It seems that virtually every town in Vermont once had its own little slope. For instance, a few pktia'SCoh tfie NELSAP site show the rem nants o f a small, unnam ed South Burlington area that operated a single rope.iow T he location is now hom e to the Sheraton H o te l Whlli^Yhe former trails are completely overgrown, the posts o f the lilt shed and a piece o f an old m etal bull wheel remain as artifacts. Vermont can claim the “ultim ate” lost ski area — the W hite Cupboard Inn Ski Way on C linton G ilberts form in Woodstock, the origin o f the m odern resort. David Dodd, an area handym an, built a rope tow out o f an old Model T engine for less than $500. Local ski instructor Robert Bourdon took the inaugural ascent on January 18, 1934, becoming the nations first skier to avoid hiking up to ski down. A state historical mark er sits at the spot on Route 12. Vermont wais also hom e to the first “J-bar” and “T-bar” lifts, as well as the first chair lift, in 1940 at Stowe. As to the issue o f “poach ers” — backcountry skiers who seek out untracked slopes that may or may not be open to public use — Davis is cau tious. “I keep it kind o f cryp tic,” he says. “T he last thing I w ant to do is to have private-*** property owners upset.” Tn addition to preserving New England’s skiing history, Davis* has a day job as a profes sional meteorologist at N orth C ountry Weather in Glens Falls, New York. H e earned his -degree in the field from Lyndon State College. During those years, Davis says, he had som em em orable internships. T he highlight was spending a summer on top o f M ount Washington; New Hampshire’s famous extreme-weather site is still the world record-holder for maximum winds at 231 mph. T he anemometer hit just 90 m ph while Davis was there, but June snow and fabulous sunsets were also part o f the package. Davis now divides his weather forecasting between global and local perspectives. O ne part o f N o rth C ountry W eather is called W eather Routing, Inc. T he firm, in business since 1961, provides worldwide m arine weather for commercial shipping and pri vate yachts.

W STORY

CATHY RESMER

hen Linda “Lindy” Cochran was in the ninth grade, she decided she wanted to quit Alpine ski racing and play basketball instead. T hat choice might not raise eyebrows in the average American family; ado lescence is a tim e o f shifting allegiances. But the Cochrans aren’t your average American family; Lindy’s three siblings were all highly successful ski racers. W hen she heard her sister wanted to quit racing, Barbara Ann C ochran’s first thought was, “How is she ever going to tell Dad?” Both dad Mickey and m om G inny Cochran supported their children’s racing careers, but it was Mickey who taught his kids to ski, and to race. H e even cleared three slopes on a hilltop in the back yard o f their Richm ond hom e — now the Cochran Ski Area — so they could train after school. But Mickey, who died o f congestive heart failure in 1998, wasn’t one to force his kids to compete. He always emphasized that skiing should be fun. His reaction to Lindy s early retirement announce m ent seems in character. “H e was okay with it,” she recalls. “He never pressured m e.” Instead, he tried one o f his “tricks,” his daughter says. “I w ent out w ith him and skied and he said something really encouraging, like, ‘I just can’t believe you’re not going to ski, because you’re just so good at it.’” W ithin two weeks, Lindy was back on the slopes. She made the U.S. ski team in 1970. In 1973 she was the U.S. National C ham pion in Slalom and G iant Slalom, and she finished sixth in the W omens Slalom at the ’76 W inter Olympics. Though she stopped racing competitively in 1978, she has yet to fully retire from the circuit. These days Lindy Cochran Kelley stays involved as a racing coach at the family ski area teaching Vermont kids how to love skiing — whether they win or lose. Kelley lives w ith her husband Steve and their children in a ram bling farmhouse in Starksboro. T he low-key, bucolic setting contrasts sharply with the high-profile nature o f her athletic achieve ments. ’ Although Kelley’s accolades are certainly impres sive, they are par for the course in the Cochran family. All four kids were on the U.S. ski team — a

feat comparable to having four siblings in, say, the NBA. Lindy s oldest sister Marilyn was a three-time N ational C ham p and won the 1969 W orld Cup G iant Slalom race. H er brother Bob was the top male U.S. skier o f his day: A N ational C ham pion in three o f the four Alpine events, he w on the 1973 World C up G iant Slalom and joined the U.S. ProTour. Even when Lindy was at the peak o f her

career in 1976, comm entators were spending half their time talking about Barbara Ann, who had won an Alpine Olympic gold in 1972. T he second generation o f Cochran racers has been equally impressive — nine o f Mickey and G inny Cochran’s 10 grandchildren are competitive skiers. Bob’s son Jim m y and Lindy’s daughter Jessica are already on the U.S. team.

Today all three Cochran sisters are helping to nurture the next generation of skiers. Barbara Ann, a teacher at Mt. Mansfield Union High School, is an instructor at Cochran’s. Marilyn coaches high school age racers through Hanover High School. But it is Lindy who stands out from the pack in this area, having carved her own niche as a talented rac ing coach. W h e n J K e lle y t a u g h t h e r

£ then 2-year-old daughter Jessicato ski, o th ^ parents

wantecf to do the same, so she started ttie Ski Tots program. It wasn’t until Jessica was in the eighth grade in 1995 that Kelley began working with the Junior 3, or J3s. (The United States Ski Association divides junior competitors into categories from J6 to J 1; J3 is the division for 13- and 14-year-olds.) The two J3 years are pivotal for young racers. Not only are they entering their teens, with all the social and hormonal craziness that entails, but they’re also on the cusp of the high-stakes ski-racing world. International competitions begin at the J4 level. J3s are mainly focused on advancing to States, and then to Junior Olympics (JOs). Skiers start qualifying for the U.S. Ski Team as early as 16. The parents of these young racers spend thou sands of dollars a year on equipment, ski passes and club fees. Many of the top J3 skiers attend, or will soon enroll, in full-time ski academies. They’ll spend upwards of $20,000 a year to go to schools that let them spend much of their time training, traveling and skiing all over the world.

For teenage racers, the pressure is intense. Alpine ski racing is a dangerous, demanding sport — rac ers can compete in three slalom events and a down hill competition, all of which involve zipping down steep slopes at high speeds. Even small setbacks can be costly. Nineteen-year-old David Gutman, one of Kelley’s former students, sums it up best: “You work all year for less than a minute run, and then you make one mistake and the whole thing’s over.’’ Kelley tries to alleviate the stress of competition by focusing on improvement rather than on victo ries. “You can’t just feel good about winning,’’ she says sensibly, “because you’re not always going to win.” She encourages her skiers to set goals, but doesn’t harangue them if they screw up. Kelley also operates outside of the more expen sive ski academies. Cochran Ski Area racers pay only a $275 family pass and $35 a year in club fees. The J3s who train with her at Mad River Glen in Waitsfield pay for passes there, too. Several of her students have gone on to the Mount Mansfield Tutorial Academy, where they can complete coursework at their home school while studying at the ski school in the winter. It’s a slightly less intense envi ronment than academies like Burke Mountain. “I try to do a program where our Cochran kids can stay competitive in that atmosphere,” Kelley says. “I want them to be the best they can be, but I also want them to feel good about skiing... I’m not like Vince Lombardi. Having fun is the most important thing.” Kelley readily admits she inherited her coaching ability from her father. An engineer by trade, the elder Cochran understood the physics of the sport and could spot a skier’s technical flaws just by watching a few runs. He was also a gifted motivator. “Psychologically, he was really good at getting the best out of kids,” says Kelly. She fondly recalls another of her father’s motivational techniques. “If one of us was having a rough day, he'd get the timer out and give us something to work on. Even if it wasn’t making us faster, he'd fudge the time.” Thinking they'd improved always made them ski faster, she recalls. Kelley remembers another key moment, during a practice session on the family hill. She was frus trated with a piece of the course that she hadn't been able to ski. “I felt like giving up,” she admits. “He said, ‘Fire and determination, just remember those words.’ Every time I was in the starting gate I was saying that to myself, and I started making it. I still remember that day when I was up there with him ... He was able to find the right words to make skiers believe in themselves and go a little bit faster.”

According to Kelley’s students, she’s mastered this skill as well. “She was the best coach I ever had,” says Gutman, who raced from age 6 to 18. “She paid attention,” he adds. “It just seemed like she knew what to tell you.” Gutman recalls the first race of his second J3 year, when he lost a ski on both of his runs. Kellev was supportive, he savs. “She kept my spirits up. Despite his early difficulties, Gutman was one of 20 skiers from Northern Vermont who made it to States that year. He says his improvement taught him about hard work and discipline. “You have to keep at it and keep at it,” he says. “I tried harder for skiing than anything else I've ever tried.” Nineteen-year-old Karl Johnson, another of Kelley’s former racers, hails from Richmond and now skis for Dartmouth College. He's set his sights on “the top” — ski team, Olympics, everything. Johnson also holds Kelley in high regard. “She was an awesome coach. If you had a bad run, you'd get frustrated, you'd go talk to Lindy and it’d be fun again.” One incident that stands out in Johnson’s mem ory is a practice run at Mad River Glen. “I was hav ing not-so-good runs. She said, ‘Go up, and don’t think about anything. Just ski the course. Johnson says his next run was better. Much better. Trying to describe how and why, he says simply, “I skied bet ter than I was.” David's father Huck Gutman, an English profes sor at the University of Vermont, is grateful for the work Kelley has done with his son. “You hope for a child that they will have... teachers who will teach them to understand what life, and what their own lives, are about, and I think Lindy did that, he says. “She really did help shape a lot of the good things David is today." Gutman also appreciates the way Kelley connects with adolescents, especially the boys. “They talk to her like they won’t talk to their parents or anybody else,” he suggests. “They taik to her like she’s one of the boys.” Karl Johnson agrees. “She'd pick us up and drive us to Mad River Glen, and she’d bring us home. It was great,” he says. “To have another adult, who's not your parent, to have a relationship with is good. Kelley has also been deeply affected by the kids she coaches. When she talks about David Gutman, for example, she smiles excitedly. “I cried when he made States,” she says. “He really, really improved. He was such a hard worker. Working with him was really satisfying.” Her father would no doubt have said the same about working with Lindy. ©

The sky already is quivering with snow, and I think how it was all summer the leaves of the McIntosh were green as I have imagined ice at the hearts of glaciers to be green, while in July there were times when, about to sleep, I might have sworn that by morning the lawns would be stiff with frost, the calendulas collapsed on their stems, petals corollas of golden ice; might equally have sworn that in August one dawn I awakened to a blizzardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;though it was only a swarming of white butterflies at a dead mole in the grass.

N o m atter how many times you’ve seen it, you still find yourself hoping against hope that the inevitable, awful denouement won’t com e to pass — and you’re still startled and moved when it does. T h a t’s true even when the production’s uneven, like the current one at Lost Nation. L N T ’s version should work a lot better than it does. It has all the elements: a tall, hunky Othello (Esau Pritchett) with a sonorous voice and charisma to spare; an Iago (Gus Kaikkonen) with a sly, insinuating charm ; a director, Jana Tift, with an intelligent take on the play; and a stunning set and light design by David Ferguson that evokes both the nautical milieu o f Othello’s military success and the shroud that hangs over his future.

Iago’s role is given so much more nuance than

epileptic fit — he has yet to settle into Shakepeare’s language with consistency and is often hard to understand. As a result, his Othello remains more icon than fully realized character. Kaikkonen’s Iago, though, is disarmingly human. Unlike most of the cast, he wears black throughout; in his ribbed shirt, black jeans and scruffy beard, he looks like a downtown artist with mob connections. He’s rough-edged but ingratiating; when he shares with us his evil plan to dupe Othello into believing Desdemona is a whore, it’s like having a con man fill you in on his trade secrets.

o La Tengo are one of the most engag ing, inventive bands making music today. Soaking up the sounds and styles of 50 years of rock history while remaining alert to modern experimentalism, the Hoboken, New Jersey, trio has been producing an uncompromis STORY ing and varied body of w ork... since ETHAN most of their current fans were in ele COVEY mentary school. Guitarist Ira Kaplan and his drum Yo La Tengo, mer wife Georgia Hubley introduced Yo Higher Ground, Winooski, October La Tengo to the world in 1984. After 7, 7 :3 0 p.m. working with a string of collaborators, bassist/keyboardist James McNew joined on as a permanent member in 1991. The band’s music transcends classifica tion, swinging from stinging guitar , freakouts to codeine-calm comedowns, . countrified folk to jazzy improv. Sum m er Sun, their recendy released 12th album, finds Yo weaving the talents of some of New York’s finest avant-garde jazz musicians into a gendy flowing mosaic of deliciously romanric gems. In advance of the band’s Higher Ground show this Tuesday, McNew had a phone conversation with Seven Days about tones, television and why Yo La Tengo could kick Justin Timberlake’s ass.

SEVEN DAYS: Hello, Jam es. How have you b een spending your m orning so far?

happen and let ideas come to us. We’re fortunate enough to be able to work like that, rather than being under the gun to make another record as fast as we can.

SD: So you s till compose m ost of your m usic from ja m sessions? Everything is s till done collaboratively? JM : Yeah, I’d say about 99 percent of it is that way. In that sense — in lots of senses — we really do operate as a group...

SD: Yet you are s till a pop band. Aside from songs lik e [Summer Sun's] "L et's Be S till," w hich is more th a n 10 m inu tes long, th e vast m ajo rity o f your m aterial hovers around tra d itio n a l pop len g th s. It's in tere stin g th a t th e se songs come out o f 45-m in u te-lon g ja m session s. JM : Well, we love pop music. We love music from the ’60s and ’70s. We love music from any time. But then again, we also love things that are 30 minutes long and never stop and don’t have singing. Maybe we are aiming for a common ground [laughs].

SD: There's also more of a jazz influ ence on the new record. How did you guys get involved with that?

JM : I would place that squarely on play ing with the musicians who joined us on Summer Sun — William Parker, Roy Campbell Jr., Daniel Carter and Sabir Mateen. They all play in a group called * ^ fk h e r Drffltisions frr Music here iij New YorlCafTd we’veidnda been playing that had a TTally huge influence on me, with them occasionally for the past few where Quincy infiltrates the Los years. We recorded an EP, a double 7Angeles hardcore punk-rock scene to inch [in 1999], called Now 20 0 0 with investigate the death of someone that them. We had been fans of theirs. he blames on the relendess negativity of It was an amazing experi punk-rock music. ence to play with these guys that we didn’t SD: Summer Sun ju s t cam e out know personally who and h as b ee n g arn erin g solid were absolute mon review s. How do you f e e l it com ster, champion pares w ith th e re st o f YLT's musicians. It was m a teria l? intimidating until JM : Gosh. When we wrote it and when we play it live, it sort of seems like a logical next step. I feel that way about all of our records, that when we sit down to start writ ing songs for a record we never really have those kind of focus grouptype meetings where we decide exactly what we want to go for. We just of let songs

James McNew: [Laughs] Um, God. For once I have a great answer to that questicr# f ve been watching a rertin of “Quincy” op TV. And it’s not like I watch that show every day, but it was

JAMES MCNEW, GEORGIA HUBLE, AND IRA KAPLAN

and then we learned right away that they just weren’t interested in whether we could play scales... They were just inter ested in the feeling of the music and what was happening right then and there, in the moment. It was a real revelation.

SD: W hen you perform , is th e re a lo t o f room for im provisation? JM : I think there is. There are definitely , jump-off points in pretty much any song that we do. There is sort of an oudine and we can follow the outline however we feel like it. It’s not like we just go up and improvise for an hour. Not yet, any way. .. But our shows have been really long lately. We’ve been playing close to two and a half hours. And, I really just found out this year, we know a b t of songs... so we have this big library of things to choose from and pull out spon taneously. It’s a really good feeling.

SD: D escribe th e typical Yo La Tengo groupie. JM : Oh, I don’t think I can. They seem like very nice people. Um, probably “Simpsons” watchers, good cooks, probably do crossword puzzles.

SD: W hat's your favorite episode of "The Sim psons"? JM : Well, the one that we did the music for, I think is the default number one. But, besides that, it would be either the one with Poochie the Rocking Dog or the one where Homer goes to clown college.

SD: You've had y ou r/fair share o f in terestin g experiences on th e road. W hat has happened lately th a t made you e ith e r question or love your life in rock 'n ' roll? JM : [Laughs] I guess I have kind of easy answers for both. We just got back from a trip we did about three weeks ago. We had one show at a festival in Japan and a week in Australia. And just the idea that we can go on a trip and do one show in Japan and a week in Australia is pretty great. It is a lot of fun. And then, I would say 80 percent of the ongoing bathroom situation at every venue is enough to make me question my life as an enter tainer.

SD: As a m usic fan , do you find yourself tu rn ing more to new m usic or old m usic at th is point? JM : Both, really. Just because it’s been around for 20 or 30 years... If I’m just finding out about it, then that qualifies it as new. There are lots of old things that I’ve been listening to quite obses sively, as well as new things. In the last year or so, I’ve been really interested in Brazilian rock records from the 60s and ’70s. At the same time, I’ve been really blown away by the records on the Def Jux label, Fantastic Damage by El-P, Aesop Rock’s album — I’ve never heard anything like that, ever... There is so much emotion in that and so much character and personality, it’s incredible. Those are deep records [laughs].

SD: W hat's th e la st record you lis ten ed to th a t made you cry? JM : [Long pause] H m m ... I’m just try ing to catalogue them all in my mind. I can’t remember when that would have been. Just the other day I saw an episode of “King of the Hill” that does that to me every time. It’s where Bobby and his first girlfriend break up. That’s just not fair. It just destroys me every time I see it. But there are a lot of records that can move me to that place quite quickly. A lot of Jonathan Richman’s old records.

SD: Each year, th e band plays a ph on e-in request show on New Jersey's WFMU-FM. What songs have you b een baffled or th rilled to play? JM : This year someone requested a song by The Flaming Lips — “Do You Realize,” I think. We just, you know... it’s got too many chords. I like the band. You know, handsome guy, snappy dresser, but c’mon, people, let’s be real. Too many chords.

SD: If Yo La Tengo was going to do a "C elebrity Death M atch" with any band from history, who would it be? JM : Oh, gosh. I don’t know. I feel like we could take anybody. I think we are unas suming, but we have a quick first step.

SD: Who would you lik e to b a ttle to a truce w ith, and whose asses would you lik e to kick? JM : [Laughs] I don’t know. Let me think about that. It seems like a lot of pop stars and musicians seem pretty trounceable, so I’d proba bly aim big. Like, I’d go for The Misfits or someone that clearly meant business. The Rollins Band. Think big.

SD: Not *NSYNC? JM : Nah. It’s like shoot ing fish in a barrel. ®

Mr. Mike's 206 Main Street, Burlington, 864-0072 A prime place to snag a slab of pie, Mr. Mike's pizzeria has been branching out lately with live music on the premises. Instead of trying to compete with bigger venues in down town Burlington, the spot opts for a cozier, more intimate style. Though the recently remodeled interior is clean and easy on the eyes, it feels more like a restaurant than a club. However, the location at the corner of Main and South Winooski is key — a convenient stop-by point for revelers headed to or from other bars. Passersby coming in for a quick slice can now stick around to hear an eclectic mix of local bands and DJs. The schedule is sporadic at this point, but most weekend nights contain tunes. Never a cover charge. Smoking is not allowed.

reviewth i INTREPID IMPROV, IN T R E P ID IM P R O V (Self-released, CD) In the crowded crop of jam bands, the struggle to stand out from the pack can be as frustrating as an aimless 15-minute jam . On their self-titled new release, Burlington musicians Intrepid Improv find themselves falling victim to this generic trap. Recorded during a live show at Club Metronome, the album is an improvisational journey through jazz, blues and funk. Although this formula sounds intrigu ing, the quartet frequently falters by not moving beyond a song's basic structure; the Miles Davis cover of "Footprints" is an uninspiring 12-minute meander through jazz scales, while "Soul Rebel," the group's only vocal attempt, does little justice to the original. However, on tracks like "All I See" and "Funk in A," Intrepid fare far better: Anchored by a driving rhythm section, the group's two guitarists keep from drifting into repetitious riffs through playful interplay and

on’t be fooled by the New Age meta physics: The 10 paintings in Fran Bull’s “Magdalene Cycle” at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery comprise a fierce and meaty group of neo-abstract-expressionist canvasses. Bull describes the cycle as “a meditation on Mary Magdalene, representing the Sacred Feminine.” According to this artist, Mary Magdalene has an “urgent message to awaken us to the plight of the endan gered ecosystem and to our mandate as its stewards.” That’s a pretty tall order for someone who’s mentioned only eight times in the New Testament: once in the book of Luke, twice in John, twice in Mark and thrice in Matthew. Even the apocryphal gospels, including the verses known as “The Book of Mary” don’t say anything about ecosystems. Bull’s use of a mythical Mary Magdalene, tailored to suit the times, is not unusual in the visual arts; references to Mary Magdalene as a whore don’t exist in scripture, either. Yet the pejorative phrase “a scarlet woman” has arisen from Mary Magdalene’s association with the color red that developed in medieval art. Bull’s paintings are firmly rooted in art history, and her extensive use of red is particularly powerful. She has taken away the patriar chal view of Magdalene’s red as a scarlet letter and turned it into a red badge of courage. “Pandora” is one of the eight large 90by-65-inch paintings in the collection, and it’s labeled as number one in the show. As if to acknowledge that viewers might bring

their own history to this “meditation on Mary Magdalene,” the canvas is dominat ed by gritty black, spread out like a giant vertical Rorschach test. It nearly obliterates the red field. At times Bull’s technique seems more like alchemy than painting. Colors and textures are folded into each other and allowed to puddle and overlap. Bull ascribes to her hues meanings that are purged of Christian symbolism. “The blue is the blue of Earth, the red is the blood of life, the gold the soil, and the black the darkness into which Magdalene

all primary and secondary hues probably do have archetypal connotations that have influenced painters throughout the ages in similar ways. “God’s Wife” is more chromatically complex and less symbolically dogmatic. Bull appears to have been dripping paint, throwing powdered pigment, brushing, scouring and scumbling over the surface with a gusto that must have looked more like exercise than meditation. An extensive use of cobalt blue, large areas of gold, bright greens and yellows nearly submerge

plunges with courage...” The painter has focused on precisely the same hues that are associated with Mary Magdalene, for dif ferent reasons, in medieval Christian art. Like “Pandora,” “Fire Vessel” consists of rich layers of acrylic, powdered pigment and metallic paint on a red field. White and black are prominent in the composi tion. Most historic “Descent From the Cross” paintings would feature Mary Magdalene in the scene as well as those same hues: black and white being the col ors of mourning; red the blood of Christ; orange-red Magdalene’s hair; blue the Virgin Mary; gold the color of divinity; and small amounts of green hint at the Resurrection. Regardless of root influence,

the field of red. White, black and crimson form the bedrock of the piece, but more vibrant colors, swirling like the marbling of an old book, have overwhelmed them. “Child of Ice” is most unlike the other paintings. As its title suggests, the work is composed of cool colors and white. A ves sel of gold and turquoise seems to have been shattered over a white field, and a web of black lines holds the visual shards in place. There are also two relatively smaller pieces in the show— “Other” is 36 by 44 inches and “House” is 44 by 36. Both are formally strong, but neither is quite as powerful as the larger-scale headliners of the “Magdalene Cycle.” ®

<film clips> PREVIEWS AMERICAN SPLENDOR Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini have crafted one of the year's most talked about movies, a mar velously Imaginative look at the life, work and unique worldview of Cleveland comic book artist Harvey Pekar. Starring Paul Giamatti, Hope Davis and Pekar himself. (R) OUT OF TIME After the disappointing weeper One True Thing and the run-of-the-mill courtroom drama High Crimes, director Carl Franklin returns to the milieu that made him: the small-town crime drama. As he did in his '92 classic One False Move, Franklin portrays a police officer determined to prove he can get to the bottom of a series of murders. Denzel Washington and Eva Mendes star. (PG-13) THE SCHOOL OF ROCK The new comedy from Dazed and Confused director Richard Linklater stars Jack Black as an-aging slack er who gets a job as a substitute teacher and channels all his energies into molding the school's orchestra class into a smoking rock band. Costarring Joan Cusack and Mike White. (PG-13)

EARTH TONES When it comes to music, singersongwriter Robin Holcomb seems to have tried it all. Since the 1980s, ja zz cabarets, Appala足 chian string bands, chamber ensembles, Indonesian gamelan orchestras and musical theater companies have welcomed her piano playing a nd jiau n tin g voice. Holcomb's creative energy is the force behind 0, Say a Sunset, a staged song-cycle that pairs her musical prowess with her passion for poetry and envi足 ronmental protection. Holcomb, her band and two actresses use music, theater, spoken word, puppetry and video to honor leg足 endary tree-hugging author Rachel Carson and her landmark

Silent Spring. Powerful and inspiring, Holcomb's musical message ju st might move the audience to take action.

A quasar is an immense concentration of energy where stars are born. It's also the perfect name for Henrique Rodovalho's Brazilian dance company. Based in the interior state of Goias, far from the cultural capitals of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo, the 1 0 -person troupe travels to the North Country to perform L e n d M e Y o u r E a r s , an abstract expression of urban problems in Brazil. Rodovalho admits that for the first time in 15 years he is "not wor ried about the movement as much as the history" he's eager to share. Even so, his choreography, com bined with projected video images, promises to provide a dynamic evening. Q U A S A R

HARD KORA When you come from a long line of West African musician-storytellers, there's more than a little pressure, to go into the family business. But Mamadou Diabate doesn't seem to mind being a j e l i . In fact, since he was 4, he's taken pride in preserving his culture through music. What makes his approach unique is how he fuses centuries-old Malian traditions with modern American blues and jazz. His tool of choice: the k o r a , a large gourd with a 2 1 -string high bridge and a sound that resembles a harp. R o o t s W o rld praises Diabate's flair for making the ancient instrument "sound as though it was invented yesterday." Two West African instrumentalists and a power vocalist help him dig into his roots this week at Middlebury College. M A M A D O U D I A B A T E Saturday, October 4, Concert Hall, Center for the Arts, Middlebury College, 8 p.m. $12. Info, 443-6433.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Today and every day, five million light ning bolts will flash between earth and sky somewhere on our planet. At any given moment, 2000 thunderstorms are raging. While you may not be in the literal presence of one of these ele mental outbreaks in the coming week, Aries, I believe you will channel a simi lar kind of energy: You’ll be fiercely and tenderly alive with the blended force o f primal fire and water. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll careen out o f control; you may be able to express the booming power in its most constructive form, cleansing and clari fying everything you touch.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): My investigation o f recent Taurean behavior reveals that you have commit ted two spankable offenses. I will not, however, authorize any enforcers to turn you over their knees and apply their palms forcefidly to your buttocks — not yet, anyway. First I want to give you a chance to atone, by filling in the gaps in your understanding and ripen ing the attitudes that led to your devia tion from the righteous path. O r would you prefer to avoid the hard work of making amends and instead just accept a spanking?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I should caution you that this horoscope may be banned in certain parts of Louisiana, South Dakota and Arkansas, as well as a number o f other areas around the world in which silky \ uproarious technique? of sacred yumyum are consfd&eddangerous to the status quo. The fact is, Gemini, you have the potential to be a genius of love in the coming weeks. You are

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By a margin of 4-1, my Scorpio readers have voted to impose on me a six-week ban on all references to maddening ambiguity. You have informed me that you’re weary of grappling with enigmas wrapped inside conundrums. You want earthy instructions and simple truths. Maybe I’ll start obeying your orders next week, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t let you know that you’re about to be offered odd gifts from people in transi tion, benevolent interventions that require major course corrections, and mysterious help from the Great Beyond.

struggling to keep up with the Joneses; the stress, overwork, waste and indebt edness caused by an addiction to con sumer goods. Signs that you suffer from this malady include the follow ing: 1. You’ll pay more for a T-shirt if it has a cool corporate logo on it. 2. You’re willing to work 40 years at a job you hate so you can accumulate lots o f stuff. 3. You believe that if you buy the cocktail dress, the cocktail party will come. If you have even a mild version of affluenza, Virgo, I rec ommend that you seek a cure in the coming days. The astrological time is ripe to learn about having fun and liv ing successfully w ithout spending lots o f money.

poised to discover higher forms of pleasure that would make plain old ordinary hedonism irrelevant. A previ ously unimaginable level of erotic mas tery is within your reach. Now memo rize this coded message: freesurgingfearlesswideawakerapturewresder.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): HELP W ANTED: Practical dreamers with high emotional intelligence need ed to become experts in the following subjects: the art o f possessing abundant resources without feeling greed or a sense of superiority; the science of cul tivating luxurious comfort in a way that does not lead to spiritual sloth; and a knack for enjoying peace and serenity without diluting one’s ambi tion. Applicants should be members of the Cancerian tribe. Send evidence of your skills to Poised Plenitude, d o ffeewillastrology@hotmail.com.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To the naked eye of the casual observer, there won’t seem to be enough love or money or other good stuff to go around this week. But if I’m reading the astrological omens correct ly, you will be able to magically stretch and expand the resources to fulfill not only your own needs but those of a small multitude. Just assume, then, that you’ll have the same mojo that Jesus allegedly had when he fed 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two fishes.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): O n my twentieth birthday, I found a big bag on the ground while walking across a vacant lot in Durham, N orth Carolina. O dd symbols adorned the outside. Inside were taxidermically preserved specimens o f a humming bird, snake, bat, lizard, frog and pray ing mantis. I brought the find home and sought the counsel of my room mate, who was knowledgeable about strange phenomena. He speculated that the animals were raw materials for a magic spell, and said the symbols were ancient alchemical formulas. Maybe it was coincidence, but the next month was a miracle. I met two new lifelong friends, discovered the person who became my greatest teacher and got a glimpse of my life’s purpose for the first time. I predict that if you’re alert as you wander through the world, Libra, you will come upon a comparable good llxck treasure this week. !

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Your natur al scent is strong and good these days. Your body is more flexible than usual and your willpower is extraordinarily supple. Even when you’re tired, your voice is a healing melody; when you’re well-rested, the words you express can disperse tensions that have lingered for a long time. Your ability to protect and inspire others reminds me o f a mother dispensing snappy wisdom to her chil dren. And your courage is teeming with innocent savvy. I swear you could hyp notize an agitated ratdesnake or gently crack open a closed mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you have affluenza? The PBS T V |how “Affluenza” (www.pbs.org/kcts/affluenza/ ) defined it as follows: the sluggish, unfulfilled feeling that results from

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): “New studies of the brain suggest that play may be as important to life as sleeping and dreaming,” writes Stuart Brown in National Geographic. In other words, science is on the verge of confirming what we play activists have always preached: To be a healthy master o f reality, you have to play every day. This is always true, of course, but it’s twice as true for you right now. To make sure you know exaedy what we’re talking about here,

Capricorn, study Brown’s definition: “Play is spontaneous, pleasurable behavior that has no clear-cut goal and does not conform to a stereotypical pattern.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you afraid of what you want? Are you suspicious of success? Are you suffering from a hope deficit? Do you tend to go numb when in the presence of possibilities that should excite you? Then this week will be a boon. You will have the chance to pull off a rare form of exorcism — an exorcism not of grotesque demons and dumb-ass ghosts, but rather of the jaded cyni cism that subtly corrodes your intelli gence. Take this opportunity, my dear Aquarius, to cleanse yourself of the reflexive doubts that the world around you has brainwashed you into regard ing as normal.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The daily grind is on the verge of crushing your spirit; you’re way too close to giv ing in to the petty pressures of every day insanity. In my astrological opin ion, therefore, you’re ready to indulge in what French poet Charles Baude laire called “a taste for the infinite.” More than that: You desperately need to cultivate a voracious hunger for the infinite. Call it going back to your spiritual roots if you like. Think of it as talking to God or expanding your consciousness or meditating ‘til your heart melts into a state of union with your eternal source. You’ve got to get yourself some deep and intimate com munion with the Divine Wow. ®

GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WORLD

Proposition Me

n a former life, wearing the hat of an advertising copywriter, I spent most of a working day wresding with USPs. Today, it’s SUVs that preoccupy my time. So it’s a bit ironic to consider that the more sport/udlity vehicles seem to proliferate, the more their Unique Selling Propositions had better domi nate. With the late arrival of the Suzuki XL-7, one simply has to wonder, “Why?” Its modest appear ance hardly distinguishes it from the madding crowd. Its measly horsepower and torque ratings — shackled to embarrassing fuel economy — are unin spiring. Its retro-architecture — employing a solid rear axle and rear drum brakes — is hardly atten tion-grabbling. So what is it about the XL-7 that is unique? W hat’s the sales pitch? In a nutshell, the USP is this: For a competitive $25,194 (as-tested), the buyer of Suzuki’s XL-7 gets a seven-passenger people-and-cargo carrier packaged as a compact sport-ute. Suzuki calls its flagship SUV “A Class o f One.” For better or worse, they’re probably right. Underhood is a dual-overhead-cam 2.7-liter engine producing 183 horsepower. In another application, that’s respectable enough performance; but in this 3,800-lb. vehicle, results are anemic chiefly because the engine’s 180 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque don’t appear until a well advanced 4,000 rpm. In plain-speak: W hen you mash the accelera tor, nothing much happens until all those rpms spool up to speed. You’d be justified, of course, in expecting to trade off mediocre engine performance for the sake of improved fuel economy. But with its rating of 17 mpg/City and 20 mpg/Highway, the XL-7 suf fers the same slings and arrows o f outrageous for tune that plague many a larger and more recogniz able SUV. From the standpoint of driving the XL-7, I’d have to say it’s unexceptional — and that’s a good thing under the circumstances. That solid, or live, rear axle really doesn’t compromise ride quality nearly as much as the rear-wheel-drive powertrain enhances it. And few should notice the old-fashioned rear drum brakes unless there are miles of mountain switchbacks to

negotiate. The point is that a live rear axle and rear drum brakes are relatively inexpensive and contribute to the XL-7’s affordability. Inside this Suzuki is where you’ll find the most distinct expression o f its USE Its people-moving skills are legitimate, thanks to an optional third-row bench seat. Choose your friends and itineraries wisely, and you should have no problem managing your people-hauling needs in an XL-7. As for cargo, if each seat is in use, say good-bye to all but 6.6 cu. ft. o f rearmost luggage space — the size of a few duffle bags. Ditch two of your friends and your prospects open up dramatically: There are 40 cu. ft. o f stowage behind the secondrow bench. For those big hauls, when cargo space is at a premium, the XL-7 gapes open to a maximum 75 cu. ft. It may be important for some buyers to note, however,.tiiat the Suzuki’s seats don’t fold perfectly

flat, with the result that floor irregularities may make it difficult to load some large items, and the narrow crevasses between seat-backs may swallow some small ones. .^ 7, For its mid-$20s price tag, the seven-passenger XL-7 Limited incorporates a generous range of standard creature comforts. Missing, however, is any kind of side-impact airbag system, even as an option. In the end analysis, appreciable increases in cost are what the Suzuki XL-7 manages to avoid best, and I suggest that this is its most persuasive USP — its only one, by strict definition. The XL-7 is unique in the sport/utility field for being able to offer seven-passenger capacity and 75 cu. ft. utility : : for a bottom-line price some $10,000, even $15,000, less than many of its better established competitors.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My partner and I live in a multi-unit house where the sounds of activities in one unit can sometimes be heard in another. This generally is not a problem. When the occasional latenight party or loud music bothers us, it's easy enough to pick up the phone and politely ask them to turn it down. But calling to complain isn't so simple when the nois es are cries of passion. The first time it happened, I swear, we thought someone was getting hurt. A little listening made it clear, however, that what we were hearing — starting as a bark, building into yelps and ending in high, sustained yodel — wasn't pain but pleasure. We don't want to spoil their enjoyment or create an embarrassing situation, but this pornographic soundtrack is frankly telling us more about the intimate details of our neighbors' lives than we want to know. What should we do? Bothered in Burlington Dear Bothered, '/ •/ . v ’. Your neighbors are the ones creating the embarrassing situation — or are they? The detail in your telling suggests that you've been listening prettydam ed closely, and that the experience hasn't been altogether unwelcome. Taking your letter at face value, I would recommend slipping an anonymous note under their door. But if I'm reading you correctly, I'd say that what you really want isn't to beat them but to join them. Without a proper invitation, I would suggest using their unsolicited exclamations as your own amorous inspiration. Love, Lola
