questio

What's the best seduction song? Since it was released in 1963, more people have been seduced by playing the entire album, John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman. Best single is "Moody's Mood for Love," by King Pleasure. — L.J. Pa lardy DJ, WRUV Winooski Probably an Otis Redding song —"These Arms of Mine." But my all-time favorite, never mind seduction, would be Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." That's seductive in a real way, intellectually, spiritually, romantically, everything." — Irene Callisto Owner, Isadora Burlington A favorite one of mine is "Funny, But I Still Love You," sung by Diane Shure. — Sandra Wright Blues singer Ludlow

ABORTION CLARIFICATIONS First of all, thank you, Susan Green, for the wonderful article in last week's Seven Days ["Body Politic, Oct. 9]. As a new grassroots organization, it is a blessing to receive such great attention. I appreciate this opportunity to clarify a few things. Emergency Contraception (EC) is not the same as "the abortion pill." EC is used within 72 hours of unprotected sex and it prevents pregnancy. It is not an abortion. All women who have sex with men should have EC at their home to use if they need backup for failed contraception. It has a three-year shelf life. Medical abortion, the so-called abortion pill, is used in the first trimester of an abortion as an alternative to surgical abortion. It is entirely different from EC. Also, as stated in the article, the rate of abortions has indeed gone down in the last decade. However, the rate for poor women has increased. According to the most recent statistics... the rate of abortion for women over 20 who are 100-200 percent below the federal poverty level has increased by 27 percent since 1994, while the overall rate has decreased by 11 percent. There are many possible reasons for this discrepancy, including the fact that poor women may have a harder time getting effective birth control. In most states, if you are a woman on Medicaid and you

make the decision to terminate a pregnancy, you will need to pay cash for the procedure. This is due to the Hyde Amendment, which was mentioned in the article but not explained. The Hyde Amendment, in place since 1977, states that federal funds can't be used to pay for abortions... — Frida Rachel Siegel Burlington Siegel is board secretaryforVermont Access to Reproductive Freedom READING THE CANDIDATES There were three "catch" questions at the beginning of Kirt Zimmer's Sept. 18 article "Write-In Candidates" that were not answered. This is not fair to the candidates nor the reading audience. Hence, I will correct that oversight by answering said questions. Does Jim Douglas have suicidal tendencies? A person who has suicidal tendencies has a low sense of self, sees no sense in going on, as there is nothing to live for. That does not describe Jim Douglas, a man who is pleased and satisfied with himself. His undotted "is" suggest he hasn't the patience/interest in dealing with minor details, so he is more apt to turn them over to subordinates. Is Doug Racine a dictator in the making.? He does have a subtle way of influencing others to his way of thinking, as there is more to Doug Racine than meets the eye. Others may think they

that it wasn't. — Josh Yunger Music manager Vermont Book Shop Middlebury There was a time when I'd sleep with anyone who put on the Grateful Dead. — Alice Bradshaw ^ page 4 a

SEVEN DAYS

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW With all the opportunities George W. gives us to laugh at his "English as a second language," I feel a little guilty commenting on such a trivial thing as a winter preview article in Seven Dayf, but not guilty enough to stop me. In "Snowcasing Vermont" [Oct. 2], David Healy mentions Minnie Dole, a New Yorker who is apparently "no relation to the former Kansas senator and presidential candidate." The comment made me read the article much more closely, looking for the reason Mr. Healy would have even brought it up. Further reading showed no other reference*to Bob Dole, but I discovered that Healy didn't mention if Roy

Newton was related to Isaac, or that "Ma" Moriarty wasn't a descendent of the famous Professor of Arthur Conan Doyle's imagination. You can never find a copy editor when you need one. — Ed Dooley Warren WHY TRUST DOUGLAS? The Vermont Constitution says that if no candidate for governor gains a majority, the legislature can elect whoever it wants ["Spoiler Sports," Sept. 25]. The legislature can. That doesn't mean it must or that it should. The legislature can choose to elect the candidate who wins the most statewide votes. It can, and it should. Doug Racine has said the legislature should elect whoever wins the most statewide votes, even if that candidate is his opponent. In this he is consistent with the position Barbara Snelling took, to her everlasting credit, when she deferred to Racine in the 1998 Lieutenant Governor election. Jim Douglas has refused to make the same promise. If Jim Douglas doesn't trust the voters, why should the voters trust him? — Thomas O. Gray Norwich

know him very well — and then he says/does something totally unexpected and they are totally surprised. But to place him in a dictator role is unrealistic. Is Con Hogan a pathological liar? Emphatically — NO! He is a responsible, dependable problem-solver with a gift for bringing visions down to earth in order to work with them in a practical and realistic manner. Productivity is his chant. He can be described as a "workaholic" — in the positive sense of the word. If you work with Con, be prepared to take part in "work" lunches. — Shirley Meier Colchester

Autocratic Ups and Downs Valentine Strasser, who became the worlds youngest head of state at the age of 25 when he seized power in Sierra Leone in 1992, was discovered broke and living with his mother on the outskirts of Freetown, the capital. Strasser, now 35, was an army captain — known for winning disco contests — when he led a coup by young officers, known as "the boys" because they were in their twenties. His No. 2 man, Julius Maada Bio, overthrew him in 1996 and forced him into exile. He returned in 2000, but because angry soldiers had burned down the house he built, he moved into his mothers two-story house across the street. The government denied him benefits because he took power by force, but last year did ask citizens not to throw stones at Strasser, who lacks a car and has to travel on foot. "I'm basically living off my mothet, now," Strasser told the Associated Press. "She's very supportive." • Saparmurat Niyazov, the president of Turkmenistan, proposed changing the name of January to Turkmenbashi, the name by which he is commonly known. It means "Chief of all Turkmen." September will be renamed after his spiritual testament, the "Rukhnama," which the official media praised as on a par with the Koran and the Bible. April

will be called "Mother," a tribute to Niyazov's late mother, the object of a personality cult second only to her son's. A week after his announcement, the leader of the central Asian desert state of 4.5 million people decreed a new system for dividing life into 12-year cycles. It extends adolescence until age 25 and postpones old age until 85.

Side Effects After a 550-pound squid washed up in Tasmania this summer, researchers at Hobart's Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies concluded that global warming is turning the world's squid into giants. The scientists said that a rise of 1 degree C in the world's oceans is causing juvenile squid to grow to twice their normal size. • Catalytic converters, which are designed to benefit the environment by converting carbon monoxide from automobile engine exhaust into harmless gases, are also preventing suicides. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that the number of people who killed themselves by inhaling carbon monoxide from automobiles fell from 10 per million in 1975 to 4.9 per million last year.

Occupational Hazards

Not-So-Great Escapes

When road laws were revised to crack down on drunk driving, an unidentified vice district attorney from the northern Japanese prefecture of Yamagata spent the day testing breathalyzers by drinking sake and checking how the machines registered his blood alcohol level. He took a cab home, but had become so drunk during the testing that he lost his wallet and couldn't pay his fare. The angry cab driver turned him in to police.

A 52-year-old French convict tried to break out of Brest prison by gluing broken glass to his hands, razor blades to his clothes and scissors to his shoes, hoping that guards would be unable to grab him. The attempt failed when six guards managed to hold on to the inmate. • After a woman reported a stolen vehicle, police in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, spotted it cruising

True to Form While Kevin Donaldson, 23, was being taken to court in Burlington, Vermont, to be arraigned on escape charges, he escaped. Donaldson, whose record includes three prior escape convictions, asked the sheriff driving the car to lower the window of the police cruiser because the pepper spray on his clothing from his arrest the night before was making breathing difficult. He reached out the window and opened the door from the outside. Chittenden County Sheriff Kevin McLaughlin noted that Donaldson removed doublelocked handcuffs and leg restraints, then slipped out of the moving cruiser and fled.

from behind," Gamboa said. "Next thing I knew, I'm on the ground trying to defend myself." Even though the entire Kansas City team rushed to his aid, jumping on the attackers and beating them, the Ligues were uninjured. Gamboa suffered cuts and bruises and had to leave the game. • The previous Sunday, Pittsburgh police charged Douglas Olszewski, 36, with letting his 14-year-old son drink so much beer at a

down the street and gave chase, although at a very slow speed since the vehicle in question was a child's Fisher Price Power Wheels car. When eventually pulled over, the 30-year-old suspect, who smelled of alcohol, explained that he was trying to get to a relative's house.

Like Father, Like Son Chicago police arrested William Ligue Jr., 34, and his 15year-old son at a White Sox baseball game after the shirtless duo jumped from the stands at Comiskey Park and attacked Kansas City Royals third-base coach Tom Gamboa, 54. "I felt like a football team had hit me

Steelers football game that the boy had to have his stomach pumped. Olszewski, who was also drunk, was arrested after he and his son were removed from the stands at Heinz Field when he tried to stop paramedics from taking the boy to the hospital.

Cool Drug Authorities in York, Nebraska, asked residents to be alert for preteen children inhaling fumes from air-conditioning units after a 12year-old girl was found unconscious. Police Officer Mike Hanke said that several pre-teens apparently have been huffing Freon from air conditioners to get high.

stood a't the arrival gate on a recent weekday afternoon with a sign reading "Dr. Rainville." The previous day the good doctor had booked me to transport him to a B&B in Underhill. As a cabbie, you really want to rendezvous with your fare as he or she comes through the gate. Any airport — even our relatively small-scale Burlington International — is a chaotic place. If you miss your party, you may never hook up, even if you page the person a couple of times. Coming through the doors, a compact, husky man caught my eye and nodded. He had a precisely trimmed, salt-and-pepper beard outlining a rosy smile. "You must be Dr. Rainville," I greeted him. "And you must be Mr. Pontiac," he responded as we shook hands. "Thanks for being on time." "Please, it's Jernigan," I said, "and 'being on time' is my middle name." As that bit of banter left my mouth, I realized how ungainly it sounded. "That doesn't make much sense, does it?" "No, not too much," the doctor replied, chuckling. "But I get the idea." "Got any luggage to pick up?" I asked, getting back to business. "Yes, one bag," he replied, and we made our way over to the baggage belt. The warning buzzer sounded and the luggage parade began. "Up here for the foliage, Doc?" I asked as we watched for his l item. "Not specifically, but I do hope to . « take in some of the " fall sights. Man, oh man, it's been a long time, and I'm enjoying it already. This weekend is my 50th UVM reunion; that's what brings me to Vermont. Hey — there it is." He yanked a blue suitcase off the belt and took me up on my offer to be the sherpa. My rule of thumb: If a guy is my age or older, I'll offer to tote the heavier bag. They almost all have wheels now, as did the doctor's — thank goodness. My taxi was a short walk away in the service lane. Dr. Rainville took the front seat, and we were off. "Fifty years, that's something," I said. "What was UVM like in the '50s?"

"Another world," he replied without hesitation. "For one thing, it was a much smaller school — maybe a couple thousand students and just a few dorms." "Were there many female students? What were they called — coeds?" "There were some. They lived in that old dorm on Redstone Campus — Coolidge Hall, I think it was. They were subject to all kinds of restrictions. I remember they had to wear skirts or dresses — they couldn't wear slacks unless the temperature fell below 15 degrees. And then, they had a 10 o'clock curfew, which I think went to midnight on weekends. I remember us guys would get together after the girls' curfew at some diner downtown." "Would that have been Henry's?" I asked. "Yes, that's the one. Is it still there?" "It sure is. Most of the old places are gone, but Henry's has hung in there." We passed St. Mike's, the old Fanny Allen and the Fort. The Circumferential Highway beckoned. When it comes to the ongoing controversy about this road, my parochial self-interest as a cab driver trumps my concern about urban sprawl. I say, damn the torpedoes and finish the darn thing! "These colors are outstanding!" the doctor said, gazing out at the maples .we passed. "It's like fruit cocktail." "That's great, Doc. I thought I'd heard the fall colors compared to just about everything, but

'50s. How many black students were on campus?" "Just a handful, maybe four or five, but one of them was our president. Anyway, the hotel owner refused to allow this guys black girlfriend to stay at the hotel. We weren't going to put up with that, so we organized a demonstration at the Statehouse. Well, the legislature then passed a law forbidding that kind of discrimination in public accommodations. This is well before the federal Civil Rights Acts of the mid-'60s." "I didn't know that slice of state history. It speaks real well for both UVM and Vermont." "Thinking back, though, I feel badly about Kake Walk. Do you know about that, Jernigan? It was the single biggest event of the semester, a competition among the frats." "Yeah, I do. The students dressed in black face and performed, was that it?" "Yes, it was a talent show, really, with other acts as well. I recall it was held at Memorial Auditorium. Our frat president always said it didn't bother him, but looking back now, I see how that probably wasn't his true feeling. It was more likely another of the many injustices he had to live with to get by and succeed in society at the time." "I can see what you mean," I* said, as Route 15 turned sharply, passing through Jericho. "I do hope he's up for the weekend. I feel like I'd want to apologize to him — 50 years late, but just the same."

"Fifty years, that's something," I said. "What was UVM like in the '50s?" 1 'fruit cocktail' — that's original." "This time of year reminds me of the homecoming incident — I think it was my senior year. Do you know about this?" "No, but I'm all ears." "A bunch of us fraternity brothers invited our girlfriends up for the weekend — back then, of course, homecoming centered around a big football game — and we rented a couple of hotel rooms for them. Now, it so happens the president of our frat was a black guy." "Really?" I jumped in. "That's amazing for the early

"I bet it would mean a lot to him," I said. We found the B&B, and I again helped him with his bag. Sun-flecked cerise and amber leaves blanketed the front lawn. This was Vermont in all its soft splendor. At the entrance to the house, the doctor took out his wallet and paid me the fare.

bard company You can't argue with Good Poems — especially since editor Garrison Keillor features a handful of Vermonters in his newest collection of classic and contemporary verse. David Blldbill gets equal billing with Charles Bukowski and Robert Burns. Galway Kinnell, Grace Paley, David Huddle, Geof Hewitt and Jim Schley mix it up with Robert Frost, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Roethke, Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson. Culled from Keillor's daily National Public Radio show, "The Writer's Almanac," the verse is arranged in offbeat categories you don't normally find in a literary anthology. Along with "lovers" and "music," he's got "beasts," "failure," "snow" and "yellow." Almost as entertaining as the poems — which are mercifully short — are the bios in the back. Schley is described as a "book editor and stilt-walker in the Bread and Puppet Theater." Hewitt is "a Vermonter who decided to be a writer after seeing Burt Lancaster in the movie Youngblood Hawke." Huddle is identified as "a parachutist in Vietnam" and offers this bit of wisdom: "On those occasions when one's serenity seems about to collapse, I recommend that one step out into the backyard and vigorously spit" . . . Closer to home, and with a comparable selection of local poets, the current issue of Green Mountains Review "stands up" to scrutiny with a comic poetry theme. The editor decided humor was the best way to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the twiceyearly literary magazine published by Johnson State College. But Neil Shepard's timing wasn't great. The call for submissions went out a few weeks before 9/11. "After the World Trade Towers fell, I thought about torpedoing the entire comedy project," Shepard says. Until the funny stuff came rolling in: "rationally-based satire, nonsensical surrealism, black humor, refined wit, literary parody, wry epigram and existentially bleak laughter," to name a few. Budbill, Bukowski, Kate Barnes, Billy Collins, Stephen Dobyns, Stephen Dunn and X.J. Kennedy are among the Keillor crossovers. in brief Ice cream entrepreneur Ben Cohen s got a new flavor: Iraqi road. These days, he's using his marketing smarts to protest a U.S. attack on Saddam. His full-page ad in Monday's New York Times made a business case against the proposed aggression, with headlines screaming, "They're selling war. We're not buying." The message was endorsed by a slew of celebrities and business leaders, including Vermonters Jeffrey Hollender of Seventh Generation, Alan Newman of Magic Hat Brewing Company, Will Raap of Gardener's Supply, Bill Kinzie of 2much Media, Don Mayer of Small Dog Electronics and John Paluska of Dionysian Productions, a.k.a. Phisfl management. . . The Vermont Mozart Festival is a master of musical chairs. No organization copes more efficiently with venue changes necessitated by changeable summer weather. Its "winter series" has been more predictable. For a quarter-century, concerts convened in Burlington's climate-controlled First Congregational Church. Starting this season, the music has moved to the new home of the Vermont Youth Orchestra in Colchester. It seats fewer people, but "The facility was designed with music in mind. The acoustics are great," director Laura Cole says of the new Elley-Long Music Center at Fort Ethan Allen. Better yet, you can find a parking spot. "We hated to leave downtown Burlington, but at 6:30 on Friday night, if there was something going on at the Flynn or someplace else, it was just too difficult," she says. Now, how about some decent seating? . . . University of Vermont English professor Hilary Neroni is getting credit for snagging cinema celebrity Jon Kilik as a special guest at the Vermont International Film Festival. The UVM grad not only has a conscience, he knows how to read a script. He's produced 11 of Spike Lee's films, including Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X. A Bronx Tale, Dead Man Walking, Basquiat, Pleasantville, Before Night Falls and Pollack are also on his resume. His most recent effort, Skins, is screening on the opening night of the festival. It's about two brothers on an Indian reservation, three centuries after the massacre at Wounded Knee . . . Looking for a sugar high that might also raise some eyebrows? Track down a "Hemp Hog" — an individually wrapped, one-ounce dose of milk chocolate filled with hemp nut and hazelnut-truffle-cream filling. Twenty-three-year-old Jack Lajoie is the local distributor of the controversial confections, which come via Canada from a Swiss chocolate company called Rene Rey. "I've always been obsessed with candy," says Lajoie, a self-described sugar-deprived son of hippie parents. He's working hard to sell more stores on the sweet stuff, which he claims is also nutritious and, of course, totally legal. At the moment, Hemp Hogs are only available at two locations in Burlington: the Hemporium and Good Stuff. Lajoie also expects them to surface in the December issue of High Times. (Z)

he consensus among television critics this fall? That the new season is missing, well, anything new. Writer after writer has decried that most of the programs currently making their debuts are spin-offs, rip-offs or recycled versions of established shows. "CSI: Miami," for example, plays off the success of its parent broadcast. "Presidio Med" is this year's "E.R." wannabe.

;

ou've got yourself a nationally syndicated broadcast. 1 And the casts of hits like "The Bachelor" and "Survivor" mayhave changed, but the programs themselves remain essentially the same. I hate to be a naysayer, but in light of the facts I do feel compelled to say nay. The problem isn't that there's nothing new to be found among this year's crop. The problem is that critics are looking in the wrong place. Forget about prime time. The wacky, off-the-wall, risk-taking stuff is more likely to be found on daytime or late-night television at this point in history. The nuttiest, most addictive thing I've come across in ages airs locally on the Fox affiliate smack dab in the middle of each weekday at noon. Rarely have I felt so fortunate to be a stay-at-home media critic. "Celebrity Justice" is a loopily mutant fusion of "Entertainment Tonight" and Court TV, described by its creators as "a new half-hour newsmagazine that taps into Americas ongoing fascination with the legal system by focusing on civil conflicts, criminal trials, family law matters, real-estate disputes and deal-making involving celebrities." Does it get any juicier than that? Nothing but the pampered and privileged getting taken down a peg or two, a daily cathode dose of life turning ugly for the beautiful people, just as it

Before the judge would make his ruling, the attorney would conduct an informal street-corner poll of hang-abouts and ne'er-dowells soliciting insight into the case's resolution. As show-biz gigs go, it was maybe a notch above playing the panicked guy in a Kaopectate commercial. But, hey, this is America. Land of opportunity. One good idea, a few Hollywood connections and a hundred million viewers obsessed with the lives of stars and — bingo bango! — you've got yourself a nationally syndicated broadcast. "Celebrity Justice" has everything necessary to become the nation's next great guilty pleasure. The show is hosted by generic anchorbabe Holly Herbert. Think Mary Hart minus the grating fake pep. Episodes lead off with a look at the celebrity legal woe of the day. You can keep up with cases like Winona Ryder's and Robert Blake's anyplace, but where else are you going to find in-depth coverage of lower-profile lawbreakers like Sean Stewart, the beady-eyed progeny of rocker Rod? I knew I had struck gold when I came across the program's straight-faced package on the miscreant's Malibu sentencing recently. Some guy masquerading as a serious journalist solemnly related the charges: beating up a 19-year-old outside a bar one

"Celebrity Justice" host Holly Herbert ordeal could bring father and son closer than ever. If you stuck to the daily papers and nightly news, you'd never guess how much trouble the rich and famous are always getting into. Thanks to "CJ," though, I'm totally up to speed when it comes to under-the-radar legal scrapes such as author Danielle Steele's battle with her Pacific Heights neighbors. They say she's hogging street-side parking spaces by holding permits for no fewer than 26! I made the trip with "CJ" cameras to the back seat of the squad car in which an emaciated Nick Nolte slumped in a semiconscious stupor following his arrest for suspicion of DUI. And I examined photo evidence accompanying charges that Motley Criie front man Vince Neil punched a complete stranger in the face not long ago at the Rainbow Room. Hey, get this guy into class with Sean Stewart! As a matter of fact, I've developed a hypothesis: Motley Criie alone may account for the slow speed of the wheels of justice in this country. The band has clogged the system with a staggering percentage of cases in recent years. Drummer Tommy Lee was back in court yet again just this past week to enter an unorthodox plea. As a result of his 1998 spousal-abuse convic-

Amazingly, his attorney had the nerve to request that this public service be allowed to take the form of a series of concerts for U.S. armed-service personnel stationed abroad. Even more amazingly, the judge not only went along with the plan but even suggested the possibility that Lee's parole might be terminated ahead of schedule if the tour goes well. When asked for a comment by the "CJ" reporter, Lee responded, "It beats picking up trash." Something about which Pamela Anderson's ex should know more than a little.

My personal favorite is a feature called You Be the Judge. In it, two attorneys conduct a rapid-fire mock trial on an actual celebrity case. After the lawyers present their arguments, viewers get to decide the verdict by voting online. Like I've got that kind of free time. I just enjoy the way the feature condenses cases into five-minute free-for-alls. I was in heaven the day some guy who's suing Kid Rock for stealing the song "Cowboy" from him came in to play the composition he's accused Rock of plagiarizing. Who says the law's no laughing matter?

Until then, set your VCRs and get ready to witness greatness. If this homage to pop-culture fromage doesn't wind up the biggest thing since "The Osbournes," there truly is no justice. ®

CAVENDISH FARM PHEASANT

The program features a plethora of cheeky segments: Court Appearance offers analysis of celebrity courtroom wardrobe choices. Equal Justice takes a look at a specific case and raises questions as to whether the famous name involved was treated more harshly or more leniently than the average citizen would have been. Art of the Deal reveals outrageous perks written • into real-life celebrity contracts. Celebrity Wills offers viewers a look behind the scenes at disputes that erupt over humongous estates.

The show is tailor-made for a 21 st-century audience obsessed equally with the star system and the legal system. The time slot's a problem, though. "Celebrity Justice" really ought to air right up against "ET" and "Access Hollywood," providing a viable alternative to those hokey brown-nosers. After six months of "CJ" going toe-to-toe with "ET," believe me, Leonard Maltin would be behind a counter at Blockbuster.

tate Treasurer Jim Douglas says he's ready for Vermont's top job. Upon launching his campaign for governor last May, he offered the following selfassessment: "I have been diligent, dedicated and direct. I have been plain-spoken and have always sought to give the people the facts, straight up, unvarnished and ready for consumption." Asked about Howard Dean, he pointed to recent job losses in the state. "I don't believe he tried hard enough," Douglas concluded, adding, "It's important for the administration to know what's going on." The implication was clear: Douglas would work harder, know more, and keep the public better informed. One way to judge those claims is to look at how Douglas has handled his current job in the age of Enron and WorldCom, and particularly his handling of the state's retirement system. How are Vermont's pension funds doing? As State Treasurer, how responsible is Douglas in overseeing them? Is he as diligent, competent and direct as he says? WorldCom, the nation's second-largest phone company, was well into a financial freefall by early May — even before billions in hidden expenses Were exposed. As a result, Vermont's three public pension funds were losing money on their investments in WorldCom bonds. On May 1, the Wall Street Journal reported that for

those who gambled on WorldCom, this would "likely go down as the worst bond deal in history." But in a press release issued on June 27, Douglas didn't even mention WorldCom. Instead, he opined generally about the need to keep investors better informed, adopt tough auditing standards and demand more accountability. "Despite recent corporate scandals," the statement said, "Vermont's pension funds are performing strongly." As he later explained, Douglas wasn't aware yet that WorldCom bonds purchased on Vermont's behalf — for almost a dollar per share — had been sold off at prices as low as 11.5 cents. The State of Florida, a big loser on both WorldCom and Enron investments, was suing its money manager, Alliance Capital, for continuing to buy even as share prices plummeted. Alliance is also one of Vermont's managers. On July 2, Vermont Public Radio reporter Bob Kinzel queried Douglas about Vermont's WorldCom exposure. Douglas called it "quite limited" and continued to downplay the problem, reassuring listeners that the public retirement system would lose only a few hundred thousand dollars. He also claimed that some of the shares had been spld earlier in the spring. There is no record of such a selloff, however, and the losses turned out to be far greater. Purchase and sale sheets reveal that the retirement system actually lost $9 million on those investments, a fact Douglas acknowledged under questioning two months later. When asked about this discrepancy last week during a phone interview, Douglas explained, "We look at reports on a quarterly basis. Many positions are held, and

were unloaded for an average price of $8.64, resulting in a $1.5 million loss for Vermont. In all, the states retirement funds lost more than $3 million on Enron holdings. A press release Douglas issued the next week didn't even mention Enron. Instead, it touted the strong overall performance of Vermont's pension funds, "largely due to prudent investment management." In January 2002, when the state's actu-

the report is thicker than a phone book. I understood that we had some exposure, but not how much." Last October, amidst news reports about Enron's woes, Delaware Investments, a money manager for the teachers' fund, decided to buy 136,200 Enron shares for $19.76 each — one-third the price they had fetched just six months earlier. It proved to be a terrible investment. One month later, the same shares

al Enron losses were finally revealed, Douglas offered a two-part defense. One, he knew nothing about the decision to purchase or sell Enron stock. "That's why we hire professional managers," he told Burlington Free Press columnist Sam Hemingway. And two, no one would be hurt anyway, since public pension benefits in Vermont are based solely on a person's pay level, not a fund's financial success or failure. "We have a defined benefit plan

for most of our public employees," Douglas told WCAX Channel 3. "They will be guaranteed the full amount of pension benefits regardless of investment performance." After WorldCom, Douglas made a similar argument. Even if all the investments were lost, he claimed, "The legislature would have to come up with the money." The treasurer's words sound reassuring.

tributions. While such plans can be more portable, the amount available at retirement is based only on the account balance. No specific benefits are guaranteed. Back in January, Ann Noonan, director of the Vermont State Employees Association, told Hemingway, "Some of us were kicking the television screen" when Douglas touted the defined benefits approach. "He did an about-face on that for the cameras."

But the last two years have not been encouraging. In the nine months leading up to September 30, 2001, the state employees' fund had dropped $136.5 million in nine months, the teachers' fund had declined $116.9, and the municipal fund was down by almost $8 million. The total decline was $261 million. By this summer, the losses had reached $355 million, according to documents produced by the treasurer's office. Overall, the three

But according to Jay Kaplan, a member of the State Teachers Retirement Board since 1988, they're neither accurate nor completely candid. "The benefits are guaranteed, but not who will make the contributions," Kaplan notes. Current employees might see larger payroll deductions. "Contribution rates have changed over the years, and the legislature can change them again," Kaplan says. "So, the rates for current contributors could increase." Douglas also failed to mention that he doesn't actually favor defined benefits. Instead, he prefers what is known as defined contributions, which transfer the risk and responsibility from the state to the employees. Though candidate Douglas hasn't stressed this point, State Treasurer Douglas has given speeches and introduced legislation promoting defined con-

Douglas denies changing his position. Defined benefits may be preferable "for an employee who stays with a job," he says, but the portability of defined-contributions plans can be a recruitment tool "for people who don't stick with one employer. Salaries aren't always competitive, so it's an option, a choice."

funds have lost about 15 percent of their value since 2000. "Compared to the average fund, we come out better than most," Kaplan says. Nationwide, the average teachers' retirement fund lost 5.9 percent in the last year, while Vermont lost only 4.7. The real problem is that Vermont's retirement system — like more than half those across the country — suffers from chronic underfunding. Without the benefit of a bull market, in other words, it pays out more money than it takes in. The difference is covered by the state, and the liabilities are growing. While recent investment losses may not be out of line with national trends, the state's situation is gradually getting worse. A study of 93 pension plans by Wilshire Associates — a consulting firm that used

he states three retirement funds, which currently provide benefits for more than 15,000 retired teachers, state and municipal workers, have grown considerably over the past decade. When Douglas became treasurer in 1994, their combined value was slightly more than $1 billion. Today they have assets worth more than $2 billion, down from a high of about $2.3 billion.

to advise Vermont — suggests that seriously underfunding plans leads to one of two outcomes: Employees either have to kick in more of their pay, or states consider converting to systems that put new employees in less-generous plans that shift the funding and investment risk. What has Douglas done to prevent this from happening? "He hasn't added anything to the system," charges Kaplan. "He's not a person with a tremendous understanding of financial systems." That should not come as a surprise. Prior to his first bid for state treasurer in the early '90s, Douglas demonstrated little interest in balance sheets. After three terms in the state legislature and a short stint as executive assistant to Governor Richard Snelling, Douglas was Secretary of State for 12 years. His apparent goal: to become a U.S. Senator. In 1992, he ran against Democrat Pat Leahy, garnering 43 percent of the vote. After that defeat, however, he opted for an easier statewide race. In 1994, the Democrats didn't even put up a candidate for treasurer. A write-in campaign made Republican Douglas the Democratic nominee as well. He has faced only nominal opposition through three re-elections. Deputy Treasurer Susanne Young, who worked previously in the Attorney General's Office, has no more financial background than her boss. Thus, the treasurer's office relies heavily on the advice of consultants and money managers. Two years ago, due to conflicts between two consulting firms and Director of Investments Marie Duquette, a new company, New England Pension Consultants (NEPC), was brought in to replace them. Ellen Griggs, assigned to Vermont by NEPC, was a bond expert, but had no background in asset management. Her main job is to reconcile accounts between

money managers and the State Street Bank, which holds Vermont's assets. Prior to taking the job at NEPC, Griggs was suspended from working as an investment advisor and supervisor, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission order. One of her employees had fixed the prices of securities, inflating the value of funds. Her company paid a $10,000 fine. At first Douglas claimed that the retirement boards knew about Griggs' earlier suspension. Some board members, including

I'm not in the loop. We hire managers, set out parameters, define expectations, and let them » goThe State Treasurer's Web site takes a different tone, explaining that his office is directly responsible for "administration and operation of three major pension plans." A recent State Supreme Court decision in the case of Susan Jacobs v. State Teachers' Retirement System hammers this home. Writing the decision on that case, Justice John Dooley explained, "In practical terms the state treasurer is the most important and powerful member [of the retirement board] because

"We don't say, 'Buy Monsanto.' I'm not in the loo We hire managers, set out parameters, define expect tions, and let them go." Vermont State Treasurer MESSSsESSM

state employees chair Roger Dumas, disputed that. According to Finance and Management Commissioner Sean Campbell, Governor Dean's delegate at the time, neither he nor another board member recalled any such disclosure. During a recent interview, Douglas said he still didn't "have all the details." The information reached one board, he believes, but "that was early September 2001. Maybe the communication fell through." In the confusion after 9/11, he implied, "It may not have been presented to all three boards." Douglas seems to be of two minds about the efficacy of his hands^off management style. "Things work well," he told Seven Days. "I don't want to build an in-house bureaucracy. Outsourcing works well, and performance has been good." But concerning WorldCom, he apologized but attributed his misstatement about the extent of the losses to "a miscalculation on the part of someone on my staff." Asked to define his role, Douglas said, "I'm the custodian and trustee of the systems, and the staff are employees. But investment managers handle purchases to provide diversification, with the help of advisers. We don't say, 'Buy Monsanto.'

that official is designated as the custodian of the System's funds, and all payments from such funds must be made by the treasurer or a deputy treasurer. The System handbook notes'that while the board is responsible for the investment of the System's funds, the board usually delegates that responsibility to the state treasurer, and the board's meetings are held in the state treasurer's conference room. Moreover, the day-to-day administration of the System is handled by the Retirement Office, which is part of the Office of the State Treasurer." "That means he's the guy who should know what's going on," concludes Kaplan. "If he doesn't know, he should have a deputy who does. It's an issue of competence. How much due diligence do you pay to the job?" In Douglas' case, it's hard to know. Minutes of retirement board meetings indicate that he doesn't attend regularly. Those minutes, by the way, aren't distributed to board members or posted on the treasurer's Web site until months after the meetings occur. Vermont's open-meeting law only requires they be available at the treasurer's office within five days. Technically, Douglas isn't in violation, but his attitude suggests he is less engaged and transparent than his statements suggest. The casual approach can lead to lapses. F<5r example, despite a decision more than five years ago to divest any tobacco-related stocks, short-term tobacco investments have continued. The state's main money managers have been following the guidelines. But the State Street Bank

has invested funds available between major trades, reportedly because they didn't receive the new rules. Until recently, Douglas didn't know some assets were back in tobacco. "It hasn't stopped yet," he acknowledges. But to change the situation, he adds, "the board would have to vote." The original divestment decision related to individual securities, not co-mingled funds available between trades, he explained. "Yes, a tiny fraction was exposed to tobacco. But mostly my adversaries are just making hay. What they don't say is that I got them down from $30 million to $30,000." The State also has guidelines banning investments in companies that do business with Burma. Asked whether some of those might also slip through the cracks, Douglas called it "very unlikely. But I can't prove a negative."

n 1998, Douglas wrote in an

online financial magazine, "It is important for a taxpayer to be assured that a public official is acting in the public interest, not in response to some contribution or gift." His concern, outlined in a 1997 press release, was the "overwhelming appearance of impropriety" if lucrative contracts are awarded to campaign contributors. Nevertheless, at least seven corporate affiliate members of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST) have made contributions totaling more than $2000 to his current Campaign, and 14 NAST corporate members have contracts with the treasurer's office. Last week, members of the teachers' retirement board accused Douglas of violating the board's ethics code by seeking donations for NAST from financial services companies that do business with the state. Douglas called this a smear campaign orchestrated by his democratic opponent, Doug Racine. At the same time, he downplayed the importance of his role as state treasurer or president of NAST in 2000 and 2001. Douglas' response was similar when reports appeared about Ellen Griggs' problems and losses in the retirement funds. "It's all political," he told the Rutland Herald. "How convenient for those opposing a sitting state treasurer to try to blame him or her for the downturn in the stock market." In an interview last week, Douglas pointed directly at the teachers' union, which "has endorsed Doug [Racine] and is accommodating his agenda." Then the treasurer added, "Doug is too far left for the mainstream and is trying to reinvent himself." Douglas is also upset with State Auditor Elizabeth Ready, who called attention to retirement-fund losses over the summer. Shortly after releasing that information, her status as a financial watchdog was challenged through the release of records showing that she was

reimbursed for $7000 in cellphone charges over the last 20 months. Ready traced the story to Republican requests for her expenses. A review of Douglas' expense records reveals that, since January 2000, he has received at least $29,000 in reimbursements, including payments for more than 15,000 miles of in-state travel that included trips to substitute as a host for a Rutlandbased conservative radio program. More than $20,000 of the total has been paid out in the last 18 months, $9000 in the first six months of this year. It comes out to about $50 a day in reimbursed expenses. Immediately prior to the official launch of his gubernatorial campaign, Douglas was in Biloxi, Mississippi, for the 27th annual NAST meeting, where he moderated a plenary session on the economic outlook for states, according to the conference brochure. Another session covered the lessons being learned from corporate scandals like Enron and WorldCom. Douglas was reimbursed $1124.36 for the trip. At that time, Vermont's pension funds were losing money fast due to WorldCom bond holdings. Two months later, Douglas still didn't know how much Vermont had lost. On May 22, Douglas' campaign office released a statement titled, "Doug Racine: Bad for Business." Basically a summary of negative comments about Racine by various reporters, it argued that his Democrat opponent is a "tax-and-spend liberal" who isn't trusted by the business community. The next day, during his announcement speech, Douglas spoke of "officials in Montpelier" — not including himself— who "say we do not control our own fate, and that our futures are beholden to the whims of a global economy." Yet, when questioned about his handling of the state's retirement system, Douglas either talks about politically motivated attacks or insists that the responsibility lies elsewhere — with staff error, money managers, the retirement boards or the stock market. This theme is at odds with the image of a diligent straight-shooter who tries harder, takes responsibility and knows more about the business world than do his liberal opponents. Asked to comment on this seeming contradiction, Douglas bristled slightly and replied, "I have nothing to explain. The only mistake I made was responding to a reporter's question [about WorldCom]. I was wrong about that, but other than that I'm proud of my stewardship. I'm not saying nothing has gone astray. But my adversaries would want you to think that there is some problem." If he saw another WorldCom coming, what would Douglas do? "I would go to the [money] manager and say, 'Look at that,'" he replied. "But they make the decisions, and overall they have done well." ®

A Burlington mysio publisher targets not-so-free samples

B Y S U S A N GREEN

ane Peterer, who began her

five-decade career in the music business playing a folksy accordion, is known by her colleagues as "The Queen of Funk." A Zurich native now living in Shelburne, the Swiss Ms. owns Jane Peterer Music Corporation (JPMC), a music publisher located in downtown Burlington. In November, her job will take her to a federal courtroom in Tennessee, where she'll supervise lawsuits against several major labels with rap or hip-hop albums that "sample" work previously recorded by artists such as George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. In JMPC s offices, employees refer to shelves jammed with CDs as "The Wall of Infringement" or "The Wall of Shame." The issue is. copyrights that protect intellectual property. It's a global dilemma: Piracy has hurt revenues in an estimated one of every three recordings sold worldwide. "Sampling always takes a portion of someone else's song to use as a hook or to loop it thrdugh the whole, thing," Peterer explains. "Maybe it's just one bar or some beats, but we don't judge a sampling by the length. We're more interested in how it is used." Rap and hip-hop musicians or their record producers could request permission to sample,

say, Clinton's "Atomic Dog." The much-borrowed 1982 hit would most likely cost them eight cents for each copy of the new release that's sold; this process is known as "mechanical licensing." Rather than pay the piper, er, publisher, many musicians apparently think they can get away with illegal infringement. As the contractual administrator for Bridgeport Music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Detroit company that owns songs by Clinton and several other funk artists, some now defunct â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peterer's firm serves as a sort of detective agency looking for clues in a copyright crime. "Rappers often twist the audio enough so it won't be recognizable," says Clement Yonkers, who brings finely tuned listening skills to his job at JPMC. "But I can hear their reverse engineering. Knowing the kind of technology out there, I recognize music from our catalogs in its altered state." Infringements frequently extend beyond the initial unapproved recording, which in turn might be used again in a new generation of rap or hip-hop songs. O n occasion, the first or second versions show up on T V shows or movie soundtracks. "100 Miles and Runnin'," an NWA song that sampled Bridgeport material, was on the soundtrack of I Got the Hook Up in 1998. Peterer says Miramax, the comedy's distributor, settled out of court, but the actual pro-

"We need an expert lor each [contested] song." Once those initial six cases have been resolved, there will be 540 more to go. "I'm one of the more active people in this [copyright infringement] business," Peterer notes. "These JF big companies want to V tire you out and hope you'll give in." "Not a lot of publishers go up against Y major labels," Yonkers points out, adding an y observation with no pun intended: "It's a trying experience for

"Among others, they wanted Parliament-Funkadelic's 'Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Joint)."' When Lussier sends out "cease-and-desist" letters to labels that are caught red-handed, some choose to avoid additional legal proceedings. "We try to negotiate with them for a new copyright on their release, to get a portion of the royalties," Peterer says. "Public Enemy used a lot of our songs without permission, but we

Lawyers for their record companies — Warner Bros., EMI, Sony and Universal, among others — will argue the first block of six cases- (There were originally 10 in this cluster; four have already settled.)

SEVEN DAYS i . 5 p a g e 2 9 b

logy

JcMerJJZ—2 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Picture yourself carrying freshly cut orchids through wind-swept city streets. You'rexm your way to offer them as a gift to someone you adore. Imagine what it feels like to hold the delicate stems in your hand. Your grip must be firm enough to keep them from falling, yet gentle enough so that you don't crush them. Now and then, a stiff breeze threatens the blooms, moving you to pull them protectively towards your chest and raise your elbows to create a windbreak. The mood I just invoked, Aries, should be the spirit you bring to every one of your important experiences in the coming week.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Thou shalt embrace the big bad contradictions, baby. That's your first commandment in the coming week. The second commandment is this: Thou shalt tickle the crazy-making incongruities. Third: Thou shalt give hickeys to the mysterious ambiguities. Fourth: Thou shalt give your most intimate, seductive attention to the slippery paradoxes. Commandment number five: Thou shalt say sexy prayers of gratitude for the contradictions, incongruities, ambiguities and paradoxes that are making you so much wiser and deeper and cuter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Every August, the temporary city of Burning Man sprouts up in the Nevada desert. A mix of festival, outdoor museum, performance art venue and survivalist challenge, it's populated by 25,000 freaks — the exact people who are most interesting to me. Nowhere I've ever been is more like Utopia; it's my personal version of Disneyland. And yet I didn't attend this year. Instead I stayed home and threw myself into orientation week at my daughter's new school. So rather than dancing night after night till dawn under the Milky Way with slippery hordes of blissed-out, half-naked

bohemians, I sat on hard chairs during long meetings with earnest parents discussing how to nurture our children's education. I wasn't motivated by a sense of sacrifice in making this decision, but simply opted for a different kind of pleasure. You'll soon have a comparable choice, Gemini.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): For much of his career, Pulitzer Prizewinning poet James Merrill was renowned for work that was wellgrounded, lucidly crafted and formal in style. But while assembling his sprawling mystical epic, "The Changing Light of Sandover," he used a ouija board to solicit the input of disembodied spirits, including several archangels and the souls of dead writers W. H. Auden and Gertrude Stein. I'd like to make him your patron saint for the coming weeks, Cancerian. Let him inspire you to push beyond what's worked so well for you before. Cash in on the risks that your success has earned you. Without sacrificing any of your sweet powers of discrimination, expose yourself to provocative voices from outside your usual sphere of influence.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Happy Disinhibition Week, Leo! Here are a few of the myriad ways you might choose to observe this liberating holiday. 1. Stop denying yourself any pleasure that would be good for you to indulge. 2. Dissolve taboos that were wise safeguards when you first installed them but have now become unnecessary. 3. Rethink the reasons you regard certain realms of experience as off-limits. 4. Journey to a place you've never dreamed of visiting in a million years. 5. Extend compassion to an aspect of yourself you've always rejected or been ashamed of. 6. Open your mind to a political position or spiritual idea you've long rejected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I've been working on a do-it-yourself manual for the new "Just Drop It" school of psychotherapy. It'll be pretty short. In the introduction, I'll tell you to procure a cheap briefcase and fill it up with a hundred pounds of rocks. On page two I'll suggest that you imagine the briefcase is stuffed with emotional baggage you can't seem to let go, memories you love to hate, and annoying frustrations you never get tired of complaining about. The third page will insinuate that maybe you should actually carry this terrible burden around with you everywhere you go for an entire week. On the fourth and last page, I'll offer the simple, elegant cure: JUST DROP IT!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I were to make a fictional movie based on your life right now, I'd include vignettes of you tracking down a stolen batch of plutonium, discovering a cache of 1850-year-old gold chalices in a remote cave and serving as the entertainment director-cumspiritual advisor on a submarine cruising beneath the ice of the Arctic basin. Those events wouldn't bear a factual resemblance to what you're going through, of course, but they'd convey a sense of the shadowy successes unfolding beneath the surface of your daily life.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Years ago, my friend Eva went through hard times while living in the Sinai region of Egypt. Her Bedouin husband had turned violent. As an outsider, she got no help from the rest of the nomadic tribe. She fled into the wilderness, where she became almost feral as she struggled to survive. In desperation, she climbed Mt. Sinai, where Moses had brokered the Ten

Commandments. Bramble-haired, starving, dancing without rest, she chanted the names of God for three days. At last a divine dispensation descended upon her: a vivid vision of a certain house on a certain street in Dhahab, a city on the Red Sea, where she could find sanctuary. She made her way to the place and was miraculously taken in there by an old couple that nursed her back to sanity. The turning point you're at, Scorpio, isn't as drastic as Eva's, but it's enough to warrant an act as dramatic as climbing Mt. Sinai and chanting the names of God for three days.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Among all the ordeals you've had to endure in the past, Sagittarius, a few have been more valuable than others. That time you were used as collateral in a highstakes gamble by a fantasy-prone trickster, for instance: It dramatically boosted your emotional IQ. You got similar benefits from that bogus savior who, as it turned out, never saw you for who you really were. Now it's finally time to enjoy the educational riches you harvested through those previous torments. They guarantee that your next ordeal will be like being forced to eat one too many bowls of ice cream.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The German religious reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546) was fond of referring to the faculty of reason as a "damned whore." He believed it got in the way of faith and prevented us humans from knowing God directly. Though I regard my ability to think clearly as one of my most prized assets, I do confess to having some of Luther's mistrust about it. Like all of us, I have corrupted my logical mind by using it to disguise

and rationalize my emotional biases. Can you imagine being able to suspend every last one of ' your preconceptions so that you might evaluate each situation with scrupulously objective eyes? It's an almost impossible task, but you can make great strides towards this goal in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Can you pat yourself on the back and kiss yourself on the lips and whisper sweet nothings in your own ear — even as you kick yourself in the butt? I hope so, Aquarius. You need large doses of praise and encouragement along with moderate amounts of gentle criticism, and you're the only one I trust to pull it all off with just the right touch. Here's a suggestion: Use just one foot, not both, to apply the motivating force to your posterior, and don't even think about doing it until after you've showered yourself with gifts.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): More than ever, Pisces, you need to honor your dark fluidity and melancholy sweetness. You have a duty to pay reverence to your most poignant longings. You owe it not only to yourself but to the whole world to nurture the part of you that resembles the aurora borealis. To aid and abet this work, I suggest you memorize the following poem by your Russian soul sister Marina Tsvetaeva: "What shall I do, by nature and trade/a singing creature/as I go over the bridge of my enchanted visions, that cannot be weighed in a/world that deals only in weights and measures?"

the love counselor Dear Lola, (Not 60 many) yean ago, love-making was a pleasant, occasionally thrilling part of dating and relationships. The women with whom I was Involved seemed to er\jcy It also. The top halves of our bodies kissed, caressed and loved while the other ends had Intercourse. Sot that I wish to completely avoid kissing below the belt, but In recent years, It seems every woman I meet Immediately requires me to root around In her crotch like a pig In a trough. One particularly persistent and petulant woman sat there on the blanket with her legs spread, tugged herself Inside out a n d gave me art anatomy lesson replete with visual aids, Including a full explanation of what I was supposed to do to her, of course with my tongue. All I could think was, "I dent want to kiss that, it looks like Willie Nelson" Is It possible to find a woman who can be tilled without "eating"? No Appetite In Addison Dear No Appetite, As they say In Paris, different strokes for different folks. Plenty of people er\jcy a little Netherlands nosh. No doubt, some even like smooching Willie Nelson. But no one should ever be force-fed In bed. If playing the part of the Munchkln Isnt to your taste, Just say no. Love, Lola
