Boray adapted and co-produced Witches’ Brew. RUSH TO JUDGMENT? Conservative hypocrisy has reared its ugly head in recent revelations of Rush Limbaugh’s drug use/abuse/ ' addiction. Absent is the conservative bellicosity commonly heard regarding drug use and the “War on Drugs.” ' Where is drug czar John P. Walters or his predecessor, Barry McCaffrey in this drug use/abuse diatribe? Why are they not ostracizing Limbaugh for being a scorn on society? Why aren’t the conservatives of this country screaming for Rush to be locked up, his assets forfeited, his family life - ^ ripped apart? Americans have been hearing focyearvofjehe cur^ of drugs on society. • Perhaps the Bush, Cheney, f’ Walters and Rumsfeld clique is finally becoming compassionate, as it should be, on this, issue; however, I rather doubt it. Their “lock them up” atti tude is good enough for common Americans but not for their conserva tive brotherhood.

Americans can make up their own minds on the futility of the conserva tives’ “War on Drugs.” I will end this letter with a quote from Limbaugh from a 1995 broadcast showing the hypocrisy of those who fuel this “War” on the American people: “Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in soci eties and neighborhoods, which

advantages. In its lack of affluence, Winooski has been ignored by the corporate media, leaving the field to local people who care. Lately I’ve been dreaming of ways to provide small, business-shy small towns with their own local news in a way that cuts out the dependence on advertis ing. Wouldn’t that be great?... By the way, having the Eagle on my resume was, I think, the clincher for Clyde’s son Brad when he hired me as a reporter/editor in 1983. I haven’t been fired from a newspaper since. And, finally, congratulations to Seven Days for hiring... Ken Picard. For years the only real knock on Seven Days had been that, unlike its alternative predecessor the Vermont Vanguard, it lacked serious local news (sorry, Peter). Ken’s story about pro viding clean air in all Vermont work places was in the best tradition of local, thoughtful, progressive news coverage. Guy Page CAMBRIDGE

ADDISON

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED Earlier this month, as I celebrated my 46th birthday, my favorite “present” was the October 22 issue of Seven Days. Reading about the Winooski Eagle [“Permanent Press”] brought me back to when I was a “Lou Grant” junkie publishing a newspaper with nothing but a waxer, a SmithCorona and lots of TLC. I also had lots of help from people like writer Deborah Edwards Porter, roommate and newspaper deliverer Ben Ash, Roberta Harold and Brenden Kelliher of the Winooski Community Development Corporation, and historian/business owner Vince Feeney. My favorite memory from those days was the April Fool’s issue, where I printed a page-one story about WCDC’s “decision” to erect a dome over Winooski. I said hot air from a 100-foot-tall Ronco hair dryer would support a gigantic, green, plastic trashbag. I watched with post-adoles cent glee as a woman took a copy from the rack at Westside Deli, read the headline, and exclaimed, “I can’t believe they’re going to build that thing!” When you start a newspaper, it becomes like your baby, or at least like your dog. I’m so glad Dick, Sharon, Steve, Jess, etc. are taking care of it. Vermont’s community newspapers, especially those in Chittenden County, are growing more and more corporate. It’s the way of things and not without its

ust watched President George W. Bush on the TV Tuesday conducting his 10th presidential press conference in the Rose Garden. Critics say Dubya ducks the tough questions and doesn’t hold enough press conferences. Thank God he doesn’t, because watch ing Mr. Bush on his feet in “action mode” is a terrifying experience for most Ameri can citizens. Putting a twisted face on a twisted foreign policy, our president bab bles and babbles. Throughout the media event, King George II looked uncomfortable, impa tient and edgy. At times he came off like a tourist in a foreign town in desperate need of locating plumbing facilities. At other times, he acted like an under-inves tigation corporate CEO whose Prozac prescription ran out five days earlier. “The world is more peaceful and free under my leadership,” George II declared to the watching world, “and America is more secure.” •T Oqly someone living in a cave for th | last sbrmontlK could make -— or believe— such a preposterous statement. Asked if he could promise the Ameri can people fewer of its sons and daughters will be on the front lines one year from now, King George II simply refused to answer. He called it a “trick question.” Asked how his reelection campaign was going, the prez declined to discuss details. Instead he stiffened, focused his beady eyes and declared, “We’re arming, [we’re] raising money to wage a cam paign. There’s an appropriate time to engage.” Like his use of the verb “arming,” don’t you? As it looks today, the man he will be engaging is the former governor of Vermont, Howard Dean. Ho-Ho was back home Friday. He held two wellattended fundraisers, collecting more than $100,000 from the locals. He also sat down for a C-SPAN interview at Theresa Alberghini DiPalma’s house on Maple Street. Nice living room. Then Ho-Ho took a trip down memo ry lane and sat for a press conference with the former “usual suspects” — the Vermont press. Ho-Ho was battling an annoying cough Friday. We suggested he see a doc tor. He thanked us for our medical advice. Other than that, Dean was in “the ~~ zone.” He bounced into the conference room with enough energy to power the streetlights on Shelburne Road. Despite the turnout by the local media, little of tile half-hour session made the local news. The state’s largest and closest newspaper, the Gannett chain’s Burlington Free Press, sent a reporter but failed to publish a story the following day. Strange newspaper, eh? Anyway, here’s a taste of how Dr. Dean handled the incoming. Obviously, our former governor loves his current occupa tion campaigning to be the next resi dent of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“I love being on the road,” said HoHo, “but I hate being away from home, if I may sort of be Zen-like about it.” Zen-like? He never was into Zen before. But would you love doing the job you’re seeking, we asked? “I’ll like the job if we can get stuff done that needs to be done,” replied Dean. “I think this country’s in real trou ble because of what this president’s done. W ith this presidency I see the sun setting, and we need to have the sun rising in America. It’s not going to rise under George Bush.” Dubya, said fellow Yale graduate Dean, “can’t manage money and he can’t manage our defense. If you can’t do those things pretty well, then you’ve got a big problem if you’re president of the United States. I want this country to achieve the greatness it deserves and its not going to do that with this president in office, and I’ve got some ‘idears’ about how to do it.” (Love how he pronounces ‘ideap.’) , Why are some Democrats saying Dean will be bad for the ticket? Anybody but Dean, please! “All I know is,” he said, “the last time I looked, we were leading in California, we’re leading, in New York. We’re leading in Arizona. We re tied for the lead in Iowa. We’re leading in New Hampshire [by a mile]. There must be something the Democrats like about that,” said Ho-Ho. “Maybe it’s not the Democrats from Washington who managed to lose the House and the Senate,” he added. “Maybe it’s the Democrats outside of Washington who are tired of losing and want somebody to stand up for them once in awhile.” Has President Bush done anything right? Dean took a long, thoughtful pause. He really tried to come up with one example of the Bush genius, but not even a smarty-pants like Howard Dean could think of one. “I don’t keep a list in my head,” he answered with a grin. “I mean, there’s not much about his policy that I agree with. There really isn’t. He’s divided us by race, by sexual orientation, by gender. He’s undermined the fiscal strength of this country. He’s sent troops to Iraq without telling people the truth about why he sent them there. I think this president needs to go.” No beating around the “bush” there, eh? “No matter what happens in Iraq,” said Dean, “the president got us into Iraq without being candid with the American people about why we went. I think that’s a pretty serious problem.” But what does an ex-governor of Vermont, a state with fewer people than Northern Ireland, know about in te r n a ^ ' tional relations? “Here’s the way I look at it,” answered Dean. “With my foreign policy folks, we INSIDE TRACK »

Connecticut authorities accused James Perry of stealing the identity of his neighbor, Robert Kowalski, in order to obtain a drivers license, believing that his four drunk-driving arrests would keep him from getting a license under his own name after he moved from Florida. Perry got the license but was arrested later for disorderly conduct. A computer check turned up that “Robert Kowalski” was a convicted sex offender from Michigan who had (ailed to regis ter in Connecticut. Since all his identifi cation showed that Perry was Kowalski,

Critics of the socalled “fatty letter” said the program unfairly singles out children for being overweight without solving the prob lem, but health officials insisted that identifying overweight children might end their parents’ denial. • A British study found that simply standing next to a fat person makes peo ple think less of you.

the University of Liverpool tested 144 female students’ reactions to two prom photos, one showing a thin man next to a svelte woman, the second showing the man arm-in-arm with a well-dressed but weighty woman. The subjects rated the man 22 percent more negatively when he was with the big woman than with the thin companion. • Science has developed an electrical pulse generator that fools the stomach into feeling full. Researchers funded by Transneuronix Inc. of Mount Arlington, New Jersey, attached the implant to the stomach linings of 30 obese men and women. A year later, two-thirds of the volunteers had lost weight, averaging a drop of 18 percent. • A Manhattan doorman who hired an undercover cop to kill his wife agreed to

he couldn’t prove who he really was until he admitted stealing Kowalski’s identity and persuaded police to check his fingerprints. As soon as police found out Perry’s real name, they charged him with criminal impersonation, identity theft and forgery.

Omnivore's Digest The proportion of Americans who are severely obese — weighing 100 pounds or more than they should — has grown from one in 200 to one in 50 in recent years, according to a study by the RAND Corp. of Santa Monica, California. “The most dramatic pan of the obesity epidemic’ has remained hidden,” RAND representative Roland Sturm revealed, “namely, that the prevalence of clinically severe obesity is increasing twice as fast as obesity.”

the supposed hit man’s demand that he pay extra because the woman was over weight. When Norman Gary, 43, of Greenburgh, New York, told the under cover officer that he wanted the corpse to vanish, the officer asked how much the woman weighed. “He told her that if she’s heavy, it would be more money because he would have to carry her,” prosecutor Ryan Brackley told the court, adding that Gary admitted the woman was chubby and agreed to pay $6000 for the job. • In Cincinnati, 250-pound Vicki Smith accused her boyfriend, Matthew Long, who weighs 116 pounds and has one leg, of choking her with their dog’s leash. Long’s version was that he grabbed Smith in a desperate attempt to prevent her from walking out, clinging to her as she dragged him through the house. “Love does that,” Long said. When Smith admitted that she could throw Long around “like a rag doll,” the judge found him not guilty. The Cincinnati Post reported that both Smith and Long are married but to other people.

The day after a tiger attacked Las Vegas show man and trainer Roy Horn, authorities in New York City found a 425-pound Siberian-Bengal tiger in the Harlem apartment of Antoine Yates, 31, when neighbors complained of the stench of urine. Police subdued the animal by rappelling down the side of the building and firing a tranquilizer dart through

the fifth-floor window. Once inside, officers also found a 5-1/2-foot-long alligator. Yates was arrested at a Philadelphia hospital that was treating him for bites from the tiger’s attacking him. He professed devotion to the 20month-old cat despite injuries that left him walking with a limp and his arm in a sling. Neighbors supported Yates, including Rocky Rich, 62, who denied that Yates was dangerous because he kept his pet indoors instead of “walking that tiger around the neighborhood.” • Timothy Treadwell, 46, one of the leaders of a group of people promoting getting close to bears to show they were not dangerous, was fatally mauled and partially eaten by one or more bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve. Sterling Miller, formerly the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s top bear authority, said that he and oth ers had urged the amateur naturalist to be more cautious, but Treadwell’s response was, “I would be honored to end up in bear scat.” • A police dog mistook a detective chas ing a suspect for the bad guy and tack led him, biting his leg and arms. Syracuse, New York, police Investigator Kevin Blair, 37, gave chase to a burglary suspect when the dog caught up with him and turned to hold him. “If you stand still and you don’t move, it just stares at you and stays on alert,” Inspector Mike Kerwin said, adding that the dog attacked only after Blair moved to resume chasing the suspect.

used to think April Cornell was a fictional creation. That name — springtime cheeri ness with a touch of Ivy League — was just too perfect. It had to have been dreamed up by a Madison Avenue marketing whiz. Then I came to Vermont, where I learned she’s not only real but living in Burlington — and, as the Free Press report ed recently, maybe moving her corporate headquarters from Williston to Battery Street. The company, which she founded in Montreal in 1975 with her husband Chris, has offices in four countries and sells Cornell’s fashions and home accessories in more than 100 stores in the U.S. and

Canada. Now she’s written her first book, April Cornell at Home: Glorious Prints and Patterns to Decorate and Enhance Your Home (Glitterati, $39.95), in which she opens the doors to her Willard Street abode to show potential customers how to live like she does. Well, sort of. Even Cornell admits the life presented in the book is a bit idealized — a lush world of plump pillows, verdant gardens and wines sipped at sunset. She says the house, which was photographed during last summer’s heat wave, “was never neater,” even though one of her three sons was home from college at the time: “He had to vacate his bed rather early in the day,” she told me in an interview last week. And with no air conditioning, things were a little on the sweaty side, especially “during the ‘Thanksgiving’ shoot.” But the book makes even sweat sound heavenly; exclamation points and wonder abound. “I start to perspire and feel myself as one of nature’s creations, too!” “I can’t seem to stop dual purposing everything!” Would that include picking up where Martha Stewart left off? “I don’t think she’s worried about me,” says Cornell, explaining how her approach differs from Stewart’s. “Martha has a lot of project-related stuff for people to do. I think ours is more about living with beauti ful things, a little less how-to... I really don’t like wagging my finger.” But if she had her own TV show a la Martha? “I think I’d have luncheons... like a salon.” Guests? “The head of the Red Hat Society, a cool club for women over 50. ..,

THE PUZZLE

• As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: 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.) Governor Pataki was once the PROTEGEE of "Pothole Al" D'Amato. When niece Nancy lifted her skirt, Fannie told her to be more DISCRETE. Fannie eschewed colored contacts for fear they would EFFECT her vision. On Halloween Fannie w ill serve sweet-pickled pumpkin for DESERT. After a deer tick gave her LIME disease, Fannie stayed out of the woods. When she mailed a dead fish to her boss, she called it GORILLA warfare. Fannie was tempted to use a tennis RACKET on little neighbor Stinky. The STRAIGHT of Gibraltar is her next vacation destination. At a Passover SATYR, Fannie nearly choked to death on a matzo ball. There's nothing like choking to inspire one to PREY to God.

E me with your Qs or comments: dd44art@aol.com. Difficulty ratingfor this puzzle: EASY? YEP, MAYBE. I f you’re stuck, see the H IN T printed sideways on this page. I f you cave, see the ANSWER on page 12a. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set o f likes and dislikes.

hat is more dangerous than a stupid man who believes that divine inspiration permits him to disregard not only the popular will, appeals to logic, moderation and decency, but even the evidence of his own eyes and ears that his policies have been disastrous?” Peter Lee posed this question last week on “The Smirking Ghimp” (www.smirk ingchimp.com). This is still my favorite anti-Bush Web site. Its essential reading for those in despair, now that Dum-Dum’s par ents have taken to the airwaves to tell us how “brilliant” he is. That’s right — “brilliant.” Not to men tion “precious” and “courageous,” according to his mom. The First Batdeaxe, a.k.a.

Mrs. Bush is said to regret that she has sometimes been "too outspoken" in public life, but I wouldn't take this as a sign that she intends to shut up.

Barbara Bush, adds that George Jr., despite his own confessions and the memory of anyone who came near him in the first 40 years of his life, was never alcoholic and, for that matter, “never a problem. He wasn’t." Mrs. Bush delivered herself of these remarks during an interview with CNN’s Larry King. Granted, she’s promoting a book — Reflections: Life After the White House — and, as she observes, “Mothers are allowed to be proud of their sons.” Even so, there was no need to bark at King, “Move on!” when pressed about her views on abortion and her son Neil’s visits to brothels in Thailand. The woman Newsweek calls “America’s favorite grand mother” has the manners of a toad. Go ahead — write me a nasty letter. I got a bucket of them recently, when I described Maria Shriver, the current Mrs. Schwarzenegger and soon-to-be first lady of California, as “toothy, scrawny” and outdo ing her Kennedy mother and aunts “in the grinning death’s-head division.” All prov able statements. Between lying about her son and smack ing people with golf clubs, Mrs. Bush is said to regret that she has sometimes been “too outspoken” in public life, but I would n’t take this as a sign that she intends to shut up. (Outspoken by whom? as they used to say about Clare Boothe Luce.) “This is the world according to Barbara Bush,” says Babs unnecessarily, “not George, not George H.W., not anybody.” Earlier, during an appearance on “The Today Show,” she described the field of Democratic contenders for her son’s job as “a sorry group,” and said her “gut feeling is that all the media is [sic] against George, Republicans, any Republican.” Where she gets this idea I can’t imagine, since every major media outlet in the country persists in describing the Bush family as “patrician” and Georges I and II as statesmen. If you want to know how wrong that

assessment is, just listen to George I, who joined his wife on “Today” and — if I may use a word much in favor with the conser vative horde — whined about the “vicious rhetoric” Democratic candidates have lately been hurling at his son. “The one who makes, you know, the most outrageous charges against the presi dent, and then he gets his 20 seconds on the evening news,” said Poppy, still unable to string an English sentence together. “Hey,” he continued, “I didn’t ride in here on a watermelon cart, I know how it works.” A watermelon cart? Does everyone know what that means? It means that George H.W. Bush isn’t Steppin Fetchit. And it means that “patrician” is the wrong word for this bunch of Texan Corleones. Babs went on to say that the President — mean ing the current one — is “a dirty dog” who doesn’t listen to anyone’s advice, and whom she recendy had to scold for putting his feet up on the coffee table. This is the same “never a problem” child she refused to seat near the Queen of England at a White House dinner in 1989, so greatly did she Tear his “sarcasm and loose tongue. ” “I’m the black sheep of my family,” Dubya told Her Majesty that night. “Who’s yours?” “None of your business,” the Queen replied. Those were the days! Someone must have run a poll after the Bushes’ appearance on “Today,” because when Babs turned up on Larry King, Poppy was nowhere in sight and Dubya, suddenly, was never a drunk. Mrs. Bush thinks her son “brought that on himself, truthfully, with all his Jack Daniels — uh, that is, ‘Choose me or Jack Daniels,’ or whatever it was he said” during the 2000 presidential campaign. She’s been having a litde trouble with English herself, but says she wrote Reflections unassisted and typed it with one finger — two when she got “real excited.” Quoting Poppy, Newsweek reports that her publishers had to cut large chunks of the book “to ward off libel suits.” “Were you pretty rough on some peo ple?” asked King. “No, I really wasn’t,” said Babs. “But they just wanted to be sure that... today is such a suing world. And having written a book 10 years ago, when nobody hardly mentioned being sued, suddenly [they asked], are you sure that’s true? And I said, ‘No, I’m not sure it’s true, but it’s true according to my diary.’” What a relief. No wonder Little Hitler thinks he’s king. You’ll be glad to know that Barbara Bush prays each night before going to bed. She doesn’t like flowers — they’re a “waste of money.” She thinks the death penalty is “a deterrent” and that “all those appeals” take up too much time. If you want the truth, Barbara Bush is a nasty bit of work, and when she declares with pride that she’s “not even a college graduate,” its the one thing she says you can really believe. Do I have it out for America’s grandma? No, I’ve just heard too many Hillary Clinton jokes. So, make my day! Read my lips! Bring ’em on! The letters, that is. ® Email Peter at ________ peterkurth@peterkurth.com -

Your question comes at a timely moment. I, too, watched the playoffs. My team did not win. My backup didn’t win. However, I will have no talk of goats, bambinos or any other such feeble excuse. We need to get back to basics. Lesson Number One: How to Pitch. The debate over whether a curveball actually curves began maybe 20 minutes after the pitch was perfected by William “Candy” Cummings in 1867. (I follow the account given by LeRoy Alaways in his 1998 doctoral dissertation for the University of California, Davis, “Aerodynamics of the Curve-Ball: An Investigation of the Effects of Angular Velocity on Baseball Trajectories.”) The matter wasn’t resolved quickly. As late as May 1941, in a mock letter to the editors of The New Yorker, one R.W. Madden quoted a baseball sage as saying, “Now I ’ll tell you something, boy. No man alive, nor no man that ever lived, has ever thrown a curve ball. It can’t be done.” This declaration, though clearly tongue-in-cheek, begat much acrimonious discussion. A few months later Life magazine, apparendy figuring that for one week it could forgo the usual fluff about Japanese maneuvers in the Pacific, published a photograph ic analysis purporting to show that “a baseball is so heavy an object... that the pitcher’s spinning action appears to be insufficiendy strong appreciably to change its course.” Too bad Life hadn’t been around a half-century earlier — no doubt it would’ve proclaimed that heavier-than-air flight was impossible. Truth was, the reality of the curve had been demonstrated as early as 1877, when a couple of pitchers — one a lefty, the other a right-hander —

throwing a^ttrvtf impacts sjfeto fhe ’ flies through the air, it leaves a wake behind it. Were the ball not spinning, the wake would be roughly symmetri cal, as shown in the left-hand illustration. Since it does spin, the wake is deflected to one side (the side where the spin is counter to the motion of the air rushing past), as shown in the right-hand illustration. Intuition alone (and that failing, the law of conservation of momentum) should convince us that if the forces acting on the ball are such that they deflect the wake one way, they simul taneously push the ball the opposite way. Thus the curve. How many different ways can the pitcher throw the ball? There’s a seemingly unlimited number of names for pitches: fastball, curve, slider, breaking ball, sinker, changeup, screwball, knuckleball, split-finger fastball, two-seam fastball, four-seam fastball, cut fastball, slurve, forkball and lots more. (I grant you that some of the pre ceding are basically synonyms.) I won’t attempt to sort them all out, other than to say they involve different grips, release speeds, degrees and angles of rotation, and so on. (For a not-too-technical analysis of common pitches, see The Physics o f Baseball by Robert Adair, onetime “physicist to the National League,” 1990.) The extreme case is surely the knuckle ball, which rotates only a half spin or so en route to the plate (for comparison, fastballs usually spin nine to 12 times) and whose aerodynamics change so drastically in consequence that it can curve one way and then another. Pitching isn’t illusion-free. Despite appearances, breaking balls don’t really break — that is, the ball does n’t change trajectory abrupdy in mid-flight (“fell off the table,” in baseball parlance). The curve of a spinning ball — i.e., anything but a knuckleball — is always smooth. Likewise, the ball can’t speed up on its way to the plate, although if the boys in the dugout think it does, the pitcher is doing his job. So, think you’ve got a pretty clear idea how to throw a curveball now? Good. Next week we’ll turn to Lesson Number Two, which may be even more useful to certain parties in the baseball business: The Importance of Middle Relief. CECIL ADAMS

BY RICK KISO

T H E O T H E R T V G U ID E

m oney ere s the title of a new reality mating show I’m thinking of pitching the networks: “Bachelorettes in Alaska Who Want to Marry a Multimillionaire Do Anything for Love as They Race to the Altar.” Catchy, huh? As the name subtly suggests, the pro gram I have in mind combines crowd-pleasing ele ments from the past few seasons’ most popular hook-up shows. First of all, greed. Remember how shocked everybody was when Fox came up with “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?” back in 2000? Darva Conger and Rick Rockwell became instant

My bachelor is going to be secretly gay and come out of the closet in the final two-hour episode. How's that for a reveal? f

and Ihe network was . Then, to universal aston ishment, the-show spawned a legion of imitators. Next to many on the air today, the original looks positively quaint. Poor, maligned, misunderstood Darva would have been happy to get her hands on a measly mil lion after all. The bevy of love-seeking beauties competing on Fox’s latest unveiling, “The Next Joe Millionaire,” have their eyes on an $80-million prize. That’s what they understand to be the net worth of the contest’s big catch, a 24-year-old Texan named David Smith. Which brings us to key ingredient number two: deceit. The TV mating ritual trend started out harmlessly enough, but lately producers have developed something of a cruel streak. The original “Joe Millionaire” duped female applicants into believing Evan Marriott was a millionaire when he was, in fact, a construction worker making less than 20 grand a year. This year’s model elevates the deception to the level of international incident. Staff lied to lots of European women who had never seen the show and selected 14 of them to vie for Smith’s affections. Think America is unpopular in Europe now? Wait till these babes find out he’s really a rodeo rider who in a good year pulls in 11 thou. I’ve already figured out how to top that, though. My bachelor is going to be secredy gay and come out of the closet in the final two-hour episode. How’s that for a reveal? O f course, no mating show would be complete without the element o f humiliation. Until pro grams like “Anything For Love,” “The Bachelor,” “For Love or Money,” “Race to the Altar” and “Cupid” began clogging the airwaves, I never would have believed so many people out there were so starved for rejection. Most of these shows feature entire herds of glamorous babes or chiseled hunks hoping to be chosen. And for every contes tant who makes the cut, you have to figure hun dreds of others have been sent home to look for love without the help of coast-to-coast exposure or casting directors. In many ways these programs have more in common with “Big Brother” than “Blind Date.” Viewers get to know players over an extended peri od of time and pick their favorites based on obser

vations of behavior both during show ceremonies and behind the scenes in a variety of mundane set tings. Invariably, editors shape some contestants into sympathetic characters and others into less lik able types; part o f the fun is savoring the devasta tion when a competitor who’s come off badly is cut loose. The producers of “The Bachelor” have made this brand of voyeurism into an art form, frequent ly trailing inconsolable losers into waiting limos and taping their convulsive breakdowns. I think I’ve come up with something that fans of this sort of thing will enjoy even more: extreme elimination. Instead of handing out roses to the lucky ones who get to remain and leaving heart broken losers empty-handed, how about wrestling for who gets to stay? Thongs at 30 paces! I smell ratings. I raise this possibility in light of my observation that producers of these shows are constantly trying to outdo each other when it comes to pushing the envelope on sex. In the beginning, mating shows were relatively chaste affairs — except for the night Rockwell proposed to Conger and then celebrated her acceptance by rotorootering his tongue halfway down her esophagus. With the passage of time and the increasingly intense competition between broadcast oudets, however, the producers have left less and less of the mating process to the viewer’s imagination. “Temptation Island” may have lowered the bar initially, but virtually every series now enthusiasti cally limbos under it. Once upon a time, it was enough to linger on the spectacle of scantily clad contestants getting to know one another in a hot tub. Today, smack in the middle of prime time, it’s not unusual to find yourself watching two or more consenting adults share a bottle of wine and a bit of pillow talk. A recent episode of “The Bachelor” included a mattress meet-and-greet between Mr.

Right and a trio of affectionate hopefuls wearing nothing but barely-there negligees. Where can these programs possibly go from here? I mean, besides Cinemax? It’s sort of interesting that we’ve abandoned the national debate about canoodling for cash on TV. Just three years ago there was an outcry of indigna tion at the thought of marriage being treated as a game-show prize and women lining up to play. These days, players on shows such as “Paradise Hotel” sign on with the understanding that they’re required to hook up with total strangers or get the boot, and I don’t hear a peep of protest or concern, either in the media or from the so-called moral majority. Apparently, if television shows us something often enough, what it shows us becomes routine, an accepted part of life. That might not sound like anything special, but in fact it’s the medi um’s most significant, and most worrisome, impact. I’m still playing around with some of the other concepts for my show. Lie detectors have been a big hit on programs like “Meet My Folks” and “Who Wants to Marry My Dad?” so we’ll need something along that line, but with a new twist. I’m thinking torture. Nothing too serious, of course. Maybe a lie detector that’s hooked up to an electrical generator and shoots a few hundred volts into players when they tell a fib. Wait, I know: The more lies they tell, the higher we crank the juice. Sort of “Married By America” meets The Green Mild. I think we’ve got a hit. Female wrestling, people getting borderline electrocuted, greedy babes com peting for a guy who turns out to be gay — how can it fail? As long as none of the staff are hooked up to that thing when they tell contestants about first prize. ®

were able to figure out that the president wasn’t giving us an accurate picture of what was going on in Iraq. All the other Democrats in the top tier voted to go to war based on a set of facts that turned out not to be true. I don’t think that’s the kind of foreign policy experience we ought to have in the White House.” Good answer, and, believe me, he’s got a good answer for every thing. Almost. How about the War on Drugs? How about Dean’s stri dent opposition to methadone treatment for heroin addicts in Vermont? W hat about Gov. Law & Order taking a $2000 cam paign contribution from billion aire George Soros, who lavishly funds the effort to decriminalize marijuana and legalize all illegal drugs? “George Soros likes my for eign policy a great deal and because I rely on him for some economic advice,” answered Dean. Economic advice from a guy who wants to legalize drugs? “Economic advice from a guy who’s made’a great deal of money by correctly predicting trends throughout the world,” explained Ho-Ho. “And somebody who has funded the emergence o f democ racy in Eastern Europe. I thought he was a pretty good source for both foreign policy and econom ic advice.” ^ ^ * And the War on Drugs that locks up hundreds o f thousands of users? “I’ve said substance abuse is a medical problem and ought not to be treated as a criminal prob lem,” said Dr. Dean. “If you’re shooting convenience-store clerks, you’re going to jail. If you’re dealing heroin to small children, you’re going to jail. But if your problem is that you’re a drug addict, you need rehab.” Moving right along, Dean talked about what history may record as the most important piece of legislation he ever signed, albeit in private: civil unions, i.e., marriage rights for same-sex couples. The year was 2000. Seems so long ago. “Most of the leading candi dates support civil unions,” noted Dean. “Mostly it comes up when you’re talking to the gay and lesbian community. It does n’t often come up elsewhere. I have a feeling in the general elec tion Karl Rove [Dubya’s political guru] will make sure that it does come up more frequently. But it doesn’t come up much in the Democratic primary, ’cause most Democrats believe in equal rights under the law.” Would you have thought three years ago it’d shake out this way? “No,” he said with a sigh of relief. “I was thrilled the Cana dians did what they did on gay marriage. It’s made me a moder ate,” he said grinning, “which, as you know, is where I’m most comfortable.” W hat happens if the Massa chusetts Supreme Court backs gay marriage? “Massachusetts is free to do

what they want. That was Dick Cheney’s position, as I remem ber in 2000. We should remem ber that. And I will remind Dick Cheney of that on numerous occasions,” said Dean, “if I have the opportunity.” It’s a good bet he’ll have no shortage of opportunities next year to do just that. W hat about the conservative South that appears firmly in Republican control? Aren’t you just too liberal for the South? “Look, when I left the DGA [Democratic Governors Associ ation], we had Democratic gover nors across the old Confederacy. I never thought I’d see that in my lifetime after Nixon’s Southern strategy kicked in. And yet it happened. “A lot of those governors lost because they didn’t bring out their own base. The mistake the Democrats have made is to con centrate on the swing voters and forget about the base. Start with the base and the swing voters will come along. “There are marginal districts in the South that we can win,” Dean continued. “I’ve told people from places like Alabama, where I think it’s going to be really hard for any Democrat to win, ‘Look, I’ll come there if you want and I wont if you don’t want. But I will make the visit if it’s going to help you get the base out to help your close congressman.” W hat about the influence of the gun lobby, the NRA? “The NRA is going to en dorse George Bush,” conceded Howard. “But what they aren’t going to be able to do is send out those inflammatory flyers they sent out about Al Gore, about he’s going to take your guns away and all that kind of stuff.” Closer to home, what about the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury? It recently lost certi fication. Surely that can’t be blamed on the new governor? “There’s not much I can say,” replied Dr. Dean. “Certainly none of the problems at the state hospital came to my attention during the time that I was gover nor, otherwise we would have done something about it.” Across th e Aisle — Kudos to Republican Gov. Jim Douglas for a masterstroke this week on the issue of reimporting cheaper prescription drugs from Canada. On first blush it appears Jimmy D has pulled the rug out from challengers Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle and former State Sen. Peter Shumlin of Putney on the reimportation issue. In Burlington, the Clavelle administration is studying a pro posal to buy Canadian drugs for city workers. Mayor Moonie is scheduled to report back to the city council in December. But Tuesday, Douglas admin istration secretary Mike Smith dropped the big one at a congres sional hearing in Boston. “The Governors opinion is that it is inappropriate for manu facturers to balance their check books on the backs of American consumers,” testified Iron Mike. • Smith told the congressional panel, which included O f

SEVENDAYS I October 29-november 05, 2003 I inside track 17A Bernardo, that the Douglas administration is offering up Vermont to the White House as a guinea pig for a trial run on reimportation. “W ith its smaller population, with mechanisms that can easily be put in place to take advantage of this type of program, Ver mont is prepared to serve as a national model for pharmaceuti cal drug reimportation,” said Sec. Smith. Asked about Jimmy D ’s pro posal for a test run, Sanders reminded us of his leadership on the issue and that of Peter Clavelles. But what about the Douglas proposal? You know, the Republican governor? “It’s good news,” said Sanders, “for prescription drug consumers who have been over charged by the drug companies for far too long.” Also last week, Jimmy D gave his blessing to Attorney General Bill Sorrell’s second consecutive lawsuit against the Bush admin istration on an environmental issue. Douglas says reducing greenhouse gas emissions is important because of “global warming.” To the president’s team of ras cals, global warming is a fantasy spun by environmental extrem ists. So, does Gov. Douglas, chairman of the 2000 Bush Campaign in Vermont, think Dubya’s doing a good job on the environment? The Gov first took a moment tos|vallow hard. “I believe the president L>doing a good job overall,” said Jimmy D with a straight face. “The president’s pro viding great leadership to the nation on an overall basis, and I think the American people believe that and will continue to do so.” Speaking o f Global Wanning — Gov. Douglas’ acknowledg ment of the existence of the global warming crisis surely must burn the ears of the rightwing wackos of Rush Limbaugh land who pooh-pooh it. But our ears recently burned at the renewable energy confer ence at the Sheraton. The lunchtime speaker was Bill McKibben, distinguished author and currendy scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College. If the Earth’s temperature continues to rise as anticipated, said Billy the Planet Watcher, “it will increase six degrees by the end of the century.” The snows of Mt. Kiliman jaro will be all gone by 2015. After 2045, there will be no glaciers left in Glacier National Park. By 2070, said McKibben, the climate of New England will resemble that of today’s Atlanta, Georgia. No more skiing. No more fall foliage. Seacoast towns and cities like Boston will have serious “oceanic” problems. “Even if he’s only half-right,” said Kirk Herander of Vermont Solar Engineering in Burlap, “we’re in deep doo-doo.” More windmills, please! ®

This deal is twice as nice. alloween — what better time to review a museum show about bats? After all, bats are creepy and scary. They’re blind mice with wings that want nothing more than to suck your blood and get caught in your hair, STORY right? Wrong. Setting the record straight is R U TH precisely the point of “Masters of the Night: H O R O W I T Z The True Story of Bats,” a traveling exhibit on view at ECHO in Burlington this fall. IMAGE The shows goal is laudable. Its realization is M ATTH EW a little disappointing. \ T H O R S EN A bat gargoyle crowns the molded plastic “neo-gothic portal” that leads into the exhib "M asters o f t h e it. Inside the entryway, cartoon-style “stainedN ig h t: T he T rue glass windows” depict the most cpmmon i S to ry o f B a ts /' misconceptions about the winged mammals. ECHO L eahy After you pass through the archway, the rest C e n te r fo r L ake C h am p lain , of the display is designed to dispel those B u rlin g to n . myths and instill an alternative message: Bats T h ro u g h J a n u a ry , are not only harmless to humans, but help 11.

Who knew, for example, that bats come in more than 1000 varieties and comprise a quarter of all mammal species? That a fishing bat’s sonar can detect a minnow’s fin pok ing up less than 1/I6th of an inch above the surface of the water? That vampire bats adopt orphans and risk their lives to share food with “less fortunate” roost mates? Or that a single colony of 150 big brown bats can protea local farmers from 18 million rootworms? More visually oriented visitors can admire an assortment of stunning, backlit bat portraits by Merlin D. Tuttle, a leading bat expert and the exhibit’s “content collab orator.” Tuttle has been going to bat for bats since the 1960s. He founded the non-profit Bat Conservation International in 1982, has published bat books and tours the country spreading his bat gospel through lectures and seminars. Tuttle’s most convincing tool, though, has been his award-winning bat photogra phy, which is currently featured on U.S. postage stamps. It looms large — literally — at this exhibit. One breath-taking action shot catches a lesser long-nosed bat hover ing, humming-bird style, over a cactus and dipping its tongue into the fruit’s seedy inte rior. A Madonna-esque image of a gentle faced Gambian epauletted fruit bat cradling her big-eyed baby is unexpeaedly sweet.

A rear-projection screen shows The Secret World o f Bats, offering more outstanding Tuttle camerawork. It sums up the exhibit’s message. Soothing music accompanies closeups of bats at their repasts, plunging hungri ly into cactus flowers and swooping grace fully down onto water to scoop up fish. The film closes with thousands of bats streaming from a cave at dusk, thick as smoke pouring from a chimney. But what makes this show more com pelling than, say, browsing through a beauti fully illustrated book or watching the Discovery Channel are its interaaive ele ments. Clips from the film can be viewed — forwards, backwards or in slow motion — at a special station. A kid could conceiv ably spend the entire afternoon watching a little bat twist a berry from a plant, munch on the fruit and poop the seeds onto the rainforest floor. A series of detailed, bronze bat busts, enlarged to the size of human skulls, invite your touch.

Pushing but tons next to pictures of different bats acti vates lights on a night-black map, revealing the range of the species’ natural habitats. Shouting into a model cave and listening for the delays of the echoes makes vivid the physics of echolocation. Donning a pair of Dumbo-sized ears shaped like those of a false vampire bat demonstrates the creature’s acute hearing. Nuggets about bats’ benefits to humans are scattered throughout the exhibit. A three-sided display illustrates the ways in which bats are endangered, and how the world would change if they weren’t around. For example, when little brown bats are barred from North American homes, pest insects don’t get eaten and the use of pesti cides increases. Other displays make eco nomic arguments. One warns that, without bats to pollinate the agave plant, the produaion of tequila would plummet.

CLOSEOUT SKIS Volkl P50 SC Motion with binding Atomic 9:18 with binding Rossignol Pow Air Grind Volkl P40 Straightline Bump Volkl Expression Twintip Last Friday afternoon, when Vermont schools were closed, the exhibit was filled with families flitting from one display to another. Many bypassed alto gether the faux-cast\e portal that’s meant to introduce the rest of the show. But no matter where in the room they wander, viewers can’t miss the show’s message, because there’s an awful lot of built-in redundancy. The exhibit also feels a bit superficial. Though Tuttle’s photo-, graphs are stunning, accompany ing explanation is minimal, turn ing what could have been power ful teaching tools into litde more than pretty pictures. Ditto the bronze busts. Properly introduced, these models might inspire any number of epiphanies: how ears and noses evolved for echolocation, for instance, or the relation ship between mouth shape and food source. But without, say, labels pointing out the patterns, the bat heads are simply funny looking. Additional information on bats is available upstairs in ECHO’s resource center. But the average visitor isn’t likely to make •'the effort to find it. ECHO is responsible for the exhibition’s unstructured lay-out, which Executive Director Phelan Fretz calls “informal.” The show’s actual content came pre packaged from an outfit called Clear Channel Exhibitions — yes, a part of the same $8.5 bil lion media conglomerate that owns 1192 U.S. radio stations, 36 TV stations, 500,000 out door displays and 135 live-enter tainment venues. Turns out the corporation also produces travel ing science-museum exhibits — one of just a few for-profits that does so. In January, when the bat exhibit flies off to its next venue, ECHO will host “Biodiversity 911,” produced by the World Wildlife Fund. After that comes an installation on birds of prey from the Science Museum of Minnesota. The plan, says Fretz, is to move towards shows with a more local origin and oudook. Good idea. Meanwhile, “Masters of the Night” at least beats the costume aisle at Ben Franklin. ®

he scariest part wasn’t the witches and the wizards — it was losing the kid. This year’s edition of The Haunted Forest, the “theatrical Halloween in the woods” at the Catamount Family Center, culminated in a stumble through a pitch-black hut. Scott Richer and his family got a litde turned around trying to find the exit, and when they emerged one member was missing: 10-year-old TJ. Nervous moments ensued. But it turned out the resourceful TJ had managed to find his way out earlier, and everyone was reunited at the end of the walk. • Except for that brief fright, the Richer clan agreed that the Forest had been more funny than scary. That was just fine with them, and right in line with the goals of Fun for Change, the nonprofit that runs the event. “Our goal is to have safe family entertain ment,” says managing director Sara Haggerty. “We always get complaints that it’s not scary enough.” The same probably won’t be said of the area’s newest frightfest. TV ads for the Halloween Nightmare Horror Walk show a terrified young woman being pursued by a zombie. The mood is more Blair Witch than Great Pumpkin, and the walk is not being recommended for children under 9. To quote the event’s mastermind, John Coon: “This isn’t Catamount. Were not Casper the Friendly Ghost. We’re the in-your-face, Texas Chainsaw sort of site, where people are going to be unsettled and unnerved.” There’s a variety of reasons for the proliferation of Halloween walks, haunted mansions and bloody barns. For one, they raise lots of money for worthy causes. The original Haunted Forest was a fundraiser for its found ing sponsor, the Green Mountain

Audubon Nature Center; Fun for Change, which Forest volunteers founded last year after Audubon bowed out, supports groups like the Youth Conservation Corps. John Coon’s horror walk is for charity, too; it’s a project of the Jericho-Underhill Lions Club, which is raising money to build a new pavilion in Underhill’s Mills Riverside Park. Another social benefit: Attending, or acting in, Halloween events is an alternative to real mischief making.

she’s acting in Horror Walk as well. “I love freaking people out!” she explains. And who first encouraged her taste for terrorizing? None other than her drama coach, John Coon. Now 51, he’s been a teacher and drama coach at Colchester High School for a quar ter century. Although he targeted adults with his Dresden’s House of Horror, which ran for a month in 1995 at the now-defunct Green Mountain Sports Center in Essex, he

source o f paranormal trivia for famed local ghost-expert Joe Citro. He knows how to get silent-auction donations from Stephen King. And he’s buddies with horror-movie icons like Dawn o f the Dead's Dave Emge, also a St. Mike’s Playhouse alum, who will be on hand at the Horror Walk to sign autographs. Even Coon’s daughters, 10 and 13, get into the spirit: They’ve been known to answer the phone, “City Morgue.” -

We’re not C asper the Friendly Ghost. We’re the in-your-face, Texas Chainsaw sort of site, where people are going to be unsettled and unnerved. J O H N

Which brings us to the psychologi cal appeal of these hair-raising events. In addition to the folks who welcome the frisson of the unexpected, there are also those who like to scare. They love the idea of playing a role, jumping into someone — or something — else’s skin in order to make us jump out of ours. While most of the Haunted Forest folks are either first-time performers or once-a-year vets, the Horror Walk boasts a cast of experienced actors who, one assumes, can put real teeth into their roles. Stowe Theater Guild actress Jana Beagley has found the time to act in The Haunted Forest for the past 10 years, even while a stu dent at Middlebury College. This year

made a mote lasting mark with the i school’s now-annual haunted forest along the Colchester bike path. His success with the event prompted the Lions Club to seek him out. Coon traces his fascination with Halloween to his theatrical roots. A for mer member of Actors’ Equity, he was once a regular stage presence at St. Michael’s Playhouse, where he also ran the props department. Halloween offers him “the fon I look forward to in the ater, an expansion of the imagination.” But it’s also a serious hobby. Coon owns more than 4000 videos and DVDs in the horror, sci-fi and mys tery realms, plus multiple horrormovie posters, masks, skulls, severed limbs and a fog machine. He’s been a

Not that Coon seepis all that spooky in person. “He has thislitde L twist in him ,” as Lions Club vice president Tom Nugent puts it. But, except for a mildly satanic goatee, he just seems like what he is — a gregar ious high school teacher with a talent for telling a story. O n a dark and stormy night last week, at a meeting in Essex Center’s Covenant Church, Coon is putting all his story-telling skills to work. He’s seated in a circle facing 11 scared faces. Some of the fear is attributable to first time jitters: unlike most of the partici pants in the walk, these Lions Club members and other volunteers have lit de to no acting experience.

from one grisly vignette to the next, and iit between they’re expected to ■<-•'] provide the back story — in character. That story is based on the lives of a well-known Jericho family, Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley, the photogra pher who discovered that no two snowflakes are alike, and his brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Mary. W ith contributions from Jana Beagley, Coon’s script conjures up a jealous townsperson who makes a deal

with the devil toi win the beautiful k M ary and accidentally opens a vortex of evil. It’s up to each guide how to describe these events, their sympathies dependent on the characters they choose to play. Once they choose a character, that is. Bruce Blokland, a John Denver lookalike, finds the prospect a little daunting. “Just look at me,” he says. “I’m Mr. Dull.” Coon doesn’t miss a beat. “So who

would Mr. Dull be if he were in rural Vermont in the 1920s? In my opinion it would be the undertaker.” He keeps going like this, taking the briefest hints and spinning them into full-blown scenarios. “Can you be the jealous girl who hates Mary Blood?” “A pirate? Be a real pirate. No fake parrots.” “Nothing is sacred,” adds Beagley, who is present along with tech direc tor Dave Hall to give amoral support. “Be as sinful as possible,” urges Coon, then looks up at the lofty upper reaches of the chapel. “I can’t say certain things here or I’m going to be struck by lightning.” The zombies begin to perk up. “I want to be the psychotic house keeper for the Bentleys!” proclaims Kathy Smith. “She won’t even have to act!” says her friend Laurie Bergeron, who has already decided to be Mary’s sister “Hazel.” Along the way, Coon alludes to some of the evil apparitions he’s plan ning: the machete-wielding clown, the guy in the electric chair pleading for his life, the “spewing site.” (Be sure to stand clear of that one, he warns.) But all this begs a question — how do you make all this gore look authentic in the close environs of a cattle barn? O r more specifically, how do you machete someone effectively in full view of the audience? “You know how many professional actors there are,” he says, deadpan.

s w if O T if

“You can always afford to lose a few.” But seriously, folks, he’s got good technical help in Hall and retired gov ernment worker Jack Ramussen, who’s constructing the electric chair and the Oriental box, among other things. The Colchester High School art department is helping supply the hanging corpses. And any machete-ing will probably take place at a distance. That’s the case with an opening recreation of the TV ad, a vignette that takes place while ticketholders are standing in line outside. That scene’s already undergone a change, says Coon. The weapon of choice was orig inally a gun, not a machete, but “the Essex police won’t let me use my stage pistol outside.” Won’t some parents complain about the violence? “I don’t fear that,” says the Lions’ Tom Nugent. And anyway, the club is making a real effort to publicize that “this is scary — underline scary.” O f course, the scare factor is why Coon expects people will show up. The recent remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre grossed more than $20 million on its opening weekend. The Lions can’t expect those kinds of numbers, but they do hope to attract 3000 people paying $10 and $8 a ticket to the three-day Horror Walk. W ith a $3000 facility rental as their only major expense — it’s an all-volunteer effort, including Coon — they might find that blood and guts buys them a pretty nice pavilion. ®

The Italian Job__ Recalling a bloody chapter in Barre’s radical past

n October 3 a centenary passed in Barre without fanfare, though not for lack of remembering. In the Granite City’s Italian-American community, the same date in 1903 has the resonance of, say, Pearl Harbor Day, or Pres. Kennedy’s assassination. That was the day the tragic murder of stonecarver Elia Corti disturbed the quiet, industrious self-regard of the city. Miraculously, the scene of the crime is still standing. If you turn south off North Main onto Granite Street, passing the Armed Forces recruiting center on the right and the mint-green mass of TCS Memorials on the left, you soon come to a hulking red-brick structure just a few yards from the Stevens Branch of the Winooski River. A set of rough-cut granite steps leads up to black double doors in front. Over the entrance hangs a granite medallion, on which are carved the letters SLP — for the Socialist Labor Party — and an arm-andhammer that looks to be emerging from a sea of leaves, like Aphrodite from her shell. This is Barre’s Old Labor Hall, one of a handful of surviving reminders of our state’s radical past. It was here a century ago that Corti, a gifted artist and a partner in the granite-carving firm of Novelli and Corti, was shot during a fracas between the socialists and anarchists among the Italian stoneworkers. Elia Corti had emigrated from northern Italy 12 years earlier, in his late teens, as Barre’s granite industry was gearing up. Throughout the 1890s, the city and its surrounding towns had attracted thousands of Italians, mostly skilled stoneworkers from northern Italian quarry communities like Carrara, Lake Como and Varese. C ords home vil lage of Viggiu provided the Vermont granite sheds a thousand men — almost a quarter of its workforce. This population had little in common with the devout and largely illiterate southern Italians who were pouring into eastern cities like New York and Philadelphia. The Barre Italians were overwhelm ingly literate, and they were well paid for their skill in working Barre’s somber gray granite into Civil War monuments, headstones and tombs. The stonecutters were also highly radicalized. Their fealties were divided between the anarchists, who sought a complete overthrow of every estab lished order, and the socialists, who were more amenable to gradual reform. But almost without exception, they hated both the opera-bujfa monar chy that occupied the throne of Italy and the Catholic Church. In his bachelor days, Corti had been an active anarchist, one of the founders of a cell that com manded great respect in anarchist circles. But in later years, with a wife and three small daughters to support — and some political discomfort at finding himself in the role of padrone at his new business — he had fallen away from “the faith.”

The night of October 3, Corti had no intention of getting involved in a political donnybrook. He had attended a funeral supper on nearby Howard Street, a few blocks from the Labor Hall. At a little

after seven in the evening, he left the mourners. But rather than going straight to his home on Blackwell Street, he crossed back over the river to the Labor Hall. Everyone in the politically divided Italian com munity knew about the meeting that night at the hall. Handbills had circulated around the shops and mills where the immigrants worked: Men of every political persuasion — anarchist as well as socialist — were invited to a lecture on “The Methods of Socialist Struggle,” to be given by G.M. Serrati, editor of New York’s II Proletario newspaper. Corti knew that his younger brother and his wife’s two brothers had been planning to go. He was almost certainly trying to keep them out of trouble. A crowd o f about 45 men had gathered at the hall, waiting for Serrati at the advertised hour of seven o’clock. The socialists in the crowd shared Serrati’s sympathies, and they had the advantage of home turf. But they were badly outnumbered. Later estimates put the socialists at four or five, the anar chists at 40. Tensions between the two groups had been on the rise since the opening o f the Labor Hall in 1900. For Barre’s anarchists, the hall itself was a provocation, brick-and-mortar evidence that the socialists were better organized and better funded than the more individualistic — many would say pie-eyed — anarchists. W ith a capacity for hun dreds in its main room, the hall allowed the social ists to win political converts by sponsoring dances, insurance schemes and a food co-op. Relations between the two groups were further poisoned by vituperative editorials volleyed between their respective newspapers — II Proletario for the socialists and Cronaca Sovversiva, printed in Barre by the anarchist editor Luigi Galleani. By the fall of 1903, tensions between the two sides had become t explosive.

______________ Serrati was late. According to the Barre Daily Times of October 5, the younger anarchists, includ ing Cortis Relatives, began to “‘jolly’ the socialists on his non-appearance. Some of their elders took up the ‘jolly’ and remarked to the socialists that it must be the speaker was not coming... The gibes back and forth increased in vehemence.” Taunts escalated to shouts. Shouts led to shov ing. One man pulled a knife; someone else picked up a chair. Another, a socialist tool-sharpener named Alessandro Garetto, reached for his hip. Corti, who the moment before had ascended the front steps o f the hall and slipped inside, raised his hands for calm. But Garetto, aiming his pistol seemingly at random, let fly^three shots. Two of

them sank harmlessly into furniture and clothing, but the third hit home. As Corti collapsed, bleeding from the stomach, his assailant was flung down the steps of the Labor Hall by a posse of enraged anarchists, at which point he “ran for his life,” according to the Daily Times reporter, and for the protective custody of the local judge. Corti was rushed to the hospital in Montpelier, where he lingered through the next day. But just after midnight on October 4, after a final request that no priest be allowed to attend his funeral, he slipped from consciousness and died. The killing was a shock, a type of violent crime rarely seen in Barre. Corti had been well liked, a man with no enemies. Moreover, he was a true artist. Just a few years before, he had executed the bas-reliefpanels on the Robert Burns Monument that stands on the Barre common. It was a demanding commission, and the result was a tri umph for Corti and his partner Sam Novelli, another immigrant from Lombardi. It is still regarded as one of the finest pieces of granite

divided by dissention and angry as hell. Witness after witness stoutly proclaimed him self an anarchist, a believer in the complete dis mantling of the state, the trade unions, and indeed every form of organization to which a hierarchy might attach. It was an eye-opener that the wider community would not soon forget.

With th e passage o f a hundred years it is likely that Corti, Garetto and the entire radical past of Barre’s Italians would have been forgotten had this not been a community of stonecarvers. W hen one of its own is taken, that brotherhood does not forget. It builds memories in the most durable stone known to science, fashioned by the best in the business. In a sense, Corti has two monuments. One is his own work, the Burns monument. The other is an unforgettable masterpiece of the memorial art, erected to his memory in the middle of Hope Cemetery. It is the centerpiece and pride of a graveyard that boasts hundreds of extraordinary, even bizarre, monuments, designed from love and meticulously executed in Barre’s granite sheds. In his memorial, Corti appears in a suit and bow tie, about half scale, reposing at the left of a granite mass. His right elbow leans on a bent knee, and the fingers of his right hand toy medita tively with his mustache as he stares into the dis tance with an air of melancholy. His left hand rests on the top «^ge of a broken pillar, the symbol of a lire cut short. Diagonally across the pillar, the carvers picked out his dates: Dec. 21, 1869 to Oct. 4, 1903. O n the rough-chiseled background his name stands out in relief. At Corti’s feet, almost hidden beneath a curving palm branch, lie scattered the tools of his trade: mallet, calipers, square and pneumatic hammer. In the decades after Corti’s death, the Socialist Labor Hall, like the socialists themselves, fell on

sculpture in America. The death of such a man shook the entire community. Corti s funeral on October 6 was one of the best attended in Barre’s history, with 52 wagons following the hearse up the hill to Hope Cemetery. Political differences were set aside, albeit briefly, to honor a man who had brought pride to the whole city. The shooting and the subsequent trial of Garetto opened a window into the Italian colony of Barre. The translators hired by the Washington County court gave voice, in English, to the stoneworkers’ seething political rivalry. Neighbor testified against neighbor, and the ethnic group that the Anglo citizens may have viewed previous ly as harmless and happy-go-lucky was revealed as

hard times. Sold by the Cooperative Society in 1936, the building served in subsequent years as a bottling works and a coal distributor, among other things. It survived several fires. Its final commer cial incarnation, as a warehouse for Vermont Pak Tomato, ended with that company’s bankruptcy in 1994. But in recent years, energetic locals have saved the place from the wreckers, renovating and reopening the hall as a community center. Now dances, union meetings and even weddings once again enliven the space where Elia Corti was shot. In a way, it constitutes a third memorial to a man, and an era, that might otherwise be lost to history. ®

A local duo digs up the everyday horror, and humor, of the American funeral industry oshua Slocum and Sherry Swett can be forgiven for having an earthy sense of humor around the office. Its an occupational requirement for those who start their work week with a bar STORY rage of complaints about body KEN snatchers, improperly embalmed PICARD corpses and exploding caskets. Slocum and Swett run the nation I MAGE al headquarters o f the Funeral MATTHEW Consumers Alliance, a nonprofit TH O R S E N watchdog group o f the American funeral industry. From their tiny For m o re in fo rm a office in South Burlington, each day tio n o n th e these hearty souls field about 25 F u n e ra l C o n su m ers phone calls and 100 emails, roughly A lliance, v is it half of which are complaints of abuse w w w .fu n erals.o rg . or fraud by morticians, cemetery and mausoleum directors and other death-industry professionals. If Stephen King ever gets a bad case of writers block, he could spend ap afternoon with these two and hear

some true tales of the macabre. “People walk in for a funeral view ing and are shown the wrong body. O r else maggots come crawling out of the nose,” Swett says. “Hey, it hap pens.” One woman arrived home recendy to discover a funeral home had deposited her dead family member on her doorstep. Swett has fielded at least three phone calls this year about bod ies that went missing from their funerals. She and Slocum are now working with a reporter who is stak ing out a cemetery in Virginia where people have seen corpses dumped on the ground and then buried without their coffins. Presumably, the used caskets are being re-sold to other unsuspecting families. “The problem isn’t burying a body without a casket,” Slocum points out. “The problem is, its fraud.”

Don’t assume the Funeral Consumers Alliance only deals with “a few bad apples” in the industry who commit the most egregious offenses, such as the Tri-State Crematory in Noble, Georgia. Last year state investigators discovered 334 decomposing bodies scattered around the property that were supposed to have been cremated. The truth is, such gruesome, headline-grabbing scandals are rare. But everyday abuses in the death trade are not rare, Slocum explains — funeral directors might grossly over charge for their services, lie about what state or federal laws require, or make bogus claims about what their burial products do. “This is what I consider scan dalous,” Slocum says, thumbing through the glossy pages o f American Funeral Director, an industry trade publication. “W hat you find in these magazines is everything they cjon’t want you to know.” He stops an ad for “Ensure-A-Seal,” a crypt burial product that Slocum describes as a “casket diaper.” Rising to his feet, he reads the ad copy aloud with theatri cal flourish: “We know what happens after the crypt is sealed. Your clients do not know or do not want to know,” Slocum recites in a grave tone. “Durable and strong, the one-way valve allows gases to escape and the new, chemically hardened fiberboard tray contains liquids. Don’t let natural processes destroy your facility’s repu tation.” He rolls his eyes and laughs heartily. A few pages on, Slocum spots an ad for “sealer caskets” — airtight coffins that funeral directors sell to the next-of-kin with the promise o f protecting dearly departed Uncle Mort from the ravages o f nature and time. Slocum calls these caskets one o f the biggest frauds in the business. Though they cost only about $12 more than ordinary caskets to manu facture, they add hundreds o f dollars to the price of a funeral, with highly dubious benefits. “People are sold expensive sealing caskets for crypts with the idea that there’s something preservative or pro tective about them. The reality is, they

do nothing but speed up decomposition and reduce the body to a stew very quick ly,” Slocum explains. “And what hap pens? As soon as your back is turned, the mausoleum operator cracks the seal, because otherwise the gases build up in there and blow the front o f the crypt off.” If that story sounds too explosive or juicy to believe, Slocum whips out a copy of Funeral Service Insider, a weekly trade newsletter, and reads aloud from a recent article: “Decomposition occurs at a much more rapid rate in the warmer envi ronment of an above-ground mau soleum than in the climate-con trolled, below-ground setting o f a tra ditional burial plot.

liquefaction of the remains,” Slocum reads. “Those 10 gal lons of liquid can corrode through the cas ket and breach the crypt. Especially in a sealed casket dur-

euphemisms may be well intentioned, Slocum contends that they serve an important financial purpose: to hide the death process behind a shroud of mystery and fear so that we believe it can only be handled by “profession als.” As a result, most Americans in their time of grief will now pay what ever it takes to rid themselves of the unpleasant business as quickly as pos sible, no questions asked.

Both Slocum and Swett emphasize there are plenty of honest, decent and reasonably priced professionals in the business. The goal of their organiza tion is not to disparage the profession as a whole but to remove the cloak of secrecy that allows consumers to be gouged — figuratively and otherwise.

It’s easy to forget that as recently as 100 years ago, the traditional fe • 'l American funeral involved a home ^ viewing. Grandpa was laid out like a smoked whitefish in the front parlor, tended to by women in the commu nity, and brought to the cemetery by friends, family and co-workers. “It used to be that the family would par ticipate in filling back in the grave,” Slocum notes. “Now you can’t even see the hole in the ground. They think it’s too traumatic. They cover it with Astroturf. There’s a lot o f cha rade to all this.” Ironically, that charade includes all the routine indignities that go into Slocum's laughter is infectiou s, preparing a body for a funeral. Slocum but so is his indignation. Despite all explains in gruesome detail what is the dark humor, he and Swett are typically involved in “honoring the shining a harsh light on the real hor dead” with a funeral: Spiked “eye rors that occur every day when griev caps” are slipped under the eyelids and ing families are most vulnerable. super-glued in place to keep the lids “Americans, in my opinion, are from popping open during the memo among the most ignorant on how to rial service.

Instead, they use warmprocess of embalming, one of his and-fiizzy expressions such as “passed biggest pet peeves.

They’re not. “W ho the heck came up with that idea, a box for the box?” Slocum says with a chuckle. “They’re like Russian nesting dolls.”

industry is that embalming protects die public health,” Slocum explains. “That’s a bunch of poppycock. But many people believe this. In fact, many funeral directors still believe this.” The truth is, an unembalmed body doesn’t spread disease as easily as a liv ing body, since a corpse does not sweat or exhale germs. But embalm ing fluids are carcinogenic and can contaminate the groundwater. For the insatiably curious, Funeral Consumers Alliance sells a video called Unlocking the Mysteries o f Embalming, which displays, in stom ach-churning detail, how a dead body is drained o f its blood, the abdominal organs punctured with a long needle, the bodily fluids suctioned out and the corpse pumped full of formalde hyde. “Oh, it’s terrible!” Slocum says. “People have no idea what is being done to the bodies of their dead.” Slocums revelations may not be groundbreaking to anyone who has read Jessica Mitford’s landmark book, The American Way o f Death. Actually, it was her 1963 expose on the inner workings of the funeral industry that got Slocum, a former daily news reporter in Virginia, into his current profession. Funeral Consumers Alliance now offers the book for sale. Despite its scathing critiques of the industry, the Alliance is not anti funeral business — just anti-abuse.

The Funeral Consumers Alliance offers dozens of educational and “how-to” pamphlets, books and videotapes for preparing yourself and your loved ones for the sweet here after, such as writing your own will and interpreting a funeral price list. One pamphlet, entided “Death Away From Home,” begins with this mat ter-of-fact advice: “Even if you believe your traveling companion is already dead, it is a good idea to call 911 or the operator.” If the organization’s quirky sense of humor isn’t immediately apparent, most of the group’s literature and paraphernalia — shirts, coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets — are illustrated with drawings by the late Edward Gorey. It’s just their way of educating the public about a topic most of us avoid discussing for as long as humanly possible, but are secredy, well, dying to know about. “W hat keeps us going is the work we do. It feels ethically good at the end o f the day,” says Slocum. He adds mischie vously, “And where else are you going to hear this stuff?” ®

Minute Horologist Pat Boyden turns back the clocks — literally

R STORY

CA TH Y R E S M E R IMAGES

AN D Y D U B A C K

esetting your clocks after Daylight Saving Time isn’t much of a chore in todays wired world. If you’re like most people, you probably pushed a few buttons on your digital clock this past weekend; the timers on most computers and cell phones reset them selves. It’s easy to forget that mechani cal clocks — with their weights, gears and pendulums — still exist. But they do, and someone has to adjust them when the time change rolls around. This can be a difficult task, especially if the clock in question sits in the tower of the University of Vermont’s Ira Allen Chapel, perched atop 120 rickety wooden stairs. Someone has to climb up there and tinker with it. For the past 23 years, that someone has been Pat Boyden. Boyden is an horologist — a fancy name for clockmaker. He owns the Green Mountain Clock Shop in Williston, where he makes, repairs and sells clocks of all kinds. He’s also responsible for servicing dozens of larger timepieces, such as the tower clocks in Montgomery, East Ryegate, Chelsea and Montpelier. Last Saturday, I went with him on his bi annual trip to the top of Ira Allen Chapel, where he turned back time on the largest clock in the state. I also visited his workshop and learned why, in the digital age, keeping time is still an esoteric art. You might think that clock making, dependent as it is on physics, machin ery and engineering, would be pure sci ence. But Webster’s New World Dictionary defines horology as “the sci ence or art of measuring time or mak ing timepieces.” The art part has some thing to do with looks. Morbier grand father clocks, for example, aren’t worth $10,000 because the gears are made of gold; they are beautifully designed. But it’s not just aesthetics that ele vates horology to an art form — there’s the philosophical aspect as well. Horologists measure time, right? But what is time? Even St. Augustine, renowned philosopher and sage, could n’t define it. “I know what time is,” said Auggie, “but if someone asks me, I can not tell him.” Creating and maintain ing instruments to measure something so maddeningly intangible requires patience, ingenuity and passion. Sometimes, it also requires courage. That quality comes to mind as I watch Boyden tromp fearlessly up the narrow steps in the Ira Allen tower. Even if you’ve visited the chapel, you’ve proba bly never seen these stairs, located behind a locked door at the top of the majestic staircase in the entryway. Boyden scoffs at my nervousness. This is the Cadillac of Vermont’s clock tow ers, he says, despite the fact that the railings wobble and the stairs tremble with every footfall. “This is one of the

nicer ones, really,” he adds. “Some times it’s just boards nailed up on the side of a wall.” Today I’m one of five people climbing inside. Boyden’s daughter and son-in-law have joined us, along with Boyden’s friend Lynn Lang, an horologist who hopes to build a gravi ty-escapement clock similar to this one. We’re all here out of curiosity, but Boyden also needs a hand; because of a recent operation, the 59year-old is under strict orders not to strain himself. You’d never know it, though, the way he takes the stairs. Near the top, we come to another locked door. This is the first clock room. A 14-foot, 300-plus-pound pendulum dangles from a hole in the ceiling, undulating back and forth. A tall wooden frame sits in front of it laden with pulleys, chains and two sets of weights. One set powers the clock. The other once powered the bell, which is no longer in use; a digi tized carillon now sounds the hour through speakers mounted above the bell. The carillon, and the electric motor that raises the clock’s weights every six to eight hours, are its only electric elements. The mechanical body of the clock is one more flight up. The giant metal machine occupies most of the 10-by15-foot space. Some of the brass gears measure a foot or more in diameter. The base is painted a deep green, with thin black and orange trim — remarkably detailed for something that’s only seen twice a year, and then only by the people who maintain it. When approaching the clock, you have to duck beneath one of the four long shafts that radiate from the center. These control the clock faces, one on each side of the building. A smaller face mounted on the base shows the time that’s displayed outside. When Boyden changes the time, he’ll turn one of the shafts, and the hands on the small display will move backwards. But before he turns back the clock, Boyden has to shut it off. To do this, he twists into the space near the pen dulum and pulls out a small hypoder mic needle. The needle is filled with clock oil, which he’ll use to lubricate the hands, but now he uses it to throw a switch that stops the pendu lum swinging beneath us. Despite its massive size, the pendulum is powered by two thin metal arms that tap against it, gendy pushing it from one side to the other. I lift one arm out and let it strike the metal. It weighs no more than a few ounces. Contrasts like this make mechanical clocks fascinating. Though they’re one of the few machines left on which you can still see the wheels turning, their actual inner workings remain compli cated and mysterious. T h e wheels o n , *

years, he moved back to Vermont, first to Winooski and then in 1980 to his current Williston location. The Green Mountain Clock Shop is attached to Boyden’s home. Inside are hundreds of timepieces, new and used — Lathem time-card clocks, grand father clocks, a commemorative Dale Earnhardt clock, a cat clock with a swinging tail pen dulum. I point to a green one shaped like a farmhouse. “That’s the farmers daughter,” he tells me. It’s a Germari variation on a cuckoo clock featuring automa tons animated figures that act out a scene. O n the hour and half-hour, a girl (Boyden calls her Gertrude) comes to one of the second-story win dows. Her beau, “Hams,” tries to climb a ladder to reach her. M e a n ^ i k u h e ^irl’s fitPtner . father waves a pitchfork at Hans. “He’s trying to stab him

mate wedding gift, but not too many people were interested.” I think he’s joking. Through the door that leads into their kitchen, I spy Boyden’s wife Louise making breakfast. We have to walk through it to get to the base ment workshop. “We don’t have a clock shop in our house,” he explains. “We live in a clock shop.” tSure enough, clocks spill over onto the kitchen counters and into the living room, where Boyden keeps some of the “problem children” for observa tion during his off-hours. He spends most of his on-hours in the basement, which he calls “the dungeon.” Given this description, the workshop is surprisingly well lit. Bright fluorescent lights illumi nate the three workbenches at which he and his three employ ees labor. But the workshop, like his storefront, is magnifi cently cluttered. Clock parts, tools and papers cover nearly every inch of space. W hat’s left is consumed by a motley collec tion of antiques and music boxes, which Boyden also sells. He complains that an administrative assistant recently quit and he hasn’t had time to vacuum, but it seems a shame to tamper with such a glorious ecosystem. After all, it works for Boyden. He and his mechanics service roughly 1000 clocks each year. Since his start in the early ’70s, he figures he’s tin kered with 15,000. They’re not all broken, though; horologists recommend mechanical clocks be cleaned ...:

and lubricated every few years. How often depends on the type. To clean a clock, it must be removed from its case and then replaced. Unlike most modern repair jobs, this doesn’t happen overnight. The actual work might take two hours, but it might take two weeks to get to it, Boyden says. Then, once the clock is back in its case, it needs to sit for two weeks to make sure it runs like, well, clockwork. The turnover time is generally 30 to 60 days, though some clocks have stayed several months, Boyden concedes. He points to one cobwebbed model in the corner that’s been there two years. “It’s close,” he says, “but no cigar.” This time frame can drive customers crazy. But as Boyden’s senior mechanic Michael Martinez explains, if people want their clocks fixed right, “speed is not necessarily their al|^!’ Vj^udtan’t fast-foifatard the days to gauge how far off a clock will be after a week. You just have to wait.

a We don't have to wait to see if the Ira Allen clock is running on time — Boyden just has to turn it back, oil the hands on the faces, and start the pendu lum swinging again. After shut ting off the clock, he turns one of the shafts until the hands on the display rest at 12 o’clock. Then the five of us climb the last flight of stairs to the bal cony that overlooks Burlington. Ostensibly we’re checking that the big hands point to 12, but while we’re here we survey our domain. The chapel is one of the tallest points in town, and we can see for miles. As we gawk at the view, Boyden checks his work. Before we leave, he gives the bell a tap with the striker to show us how it sounded years ago. The floor beneath me vibrates. I decide I’m ready to get dpwn. As we descend to the clock room, the carillon chimes strike, playing a song. They’re still going when Boyden resets the new time and starts the pendulum again. By the time we reach the bottom of the tower, the chimes have stopped. Boyden takes us into the chapel to shows us the caril lon keyboard. Behind it is a stereo system that can record and play back the tunes. Its red digi tal display shows the time. At the top of the tower, Boyden had noted that the chimes were a lit tle late. Sure enough, the digital clock is a couple minutes slow. “I don’t take care of that one,” he says,® % , ___. . . . . . . ___

Troy is a victim of a society that does not allow him his manhood, yet in his efforts to grab onto something to call his own, he betrays his wife, son and brother. Like Shakespeare’s Lear, Troy is meant to be a huge, powerful presence that disin tegrates before our eyes. “W hen your daddy walked through the house,” Rose tells Cory, remembering the early days of her marriage, “he was so big he filled it up.” And Wilson, like Shakespeare, is a virtuoso of language. He captures the rhythms of extemporaneous storytelling and the ribald inventiveness of “gin-talk,” and his protagonist is a master of both.

STORY

D A V ID

ugust Wilson’s 1986Tulitzer Prize-win ning family drama Fences is not exactly what you’d call children’s theater. And when Weston Playhouse brings their tour ing production to the Flynn on October 29, the audience will likely be a lot differ ent than the one with whom I saw the play last week. I caught a student matinee in Weston with a full house of kids; But their enthusiastic response and mosdy rapt interest were a pretty accurate barometer of how Fences was coming across. There were some shaky spots — this was the first public performance, and at 10 a.m. yet. But the production, sensi tively directed by Obie winner Arthur French, did right by a play that has enough humor, poetry and raw power to grab hold of anyone, regardless of age. Or race. Wilson, a supreme chronicler of the African-American experi ence, has made it his special pro ject to capture that on stage. But his works are not just about black America; they’re about America. Set in his native Pittsburgh, Fences hits bedrock truths about all fathers and sons, about dreams and defeats, about the fences we use to define our properties and our families. Fences protagonist Troy Maxson is comparable to Arthur Miller’s doomed salesman, Willy Loman. But where Willy believes in the American dream, Troy has been excluded from it: He was a talented baseball player who never made it from the Negro League to the majors. He tries to saddle his son Cory, a high school football star, with his own lowered expectations. Stick with your gro cery store job, Troy tells him: “The white man ain’t gonna let you get nowhere with that football, no way.” Troy has found his own way to work the white mans system. Having left home and his abusive sharecropper father at 14, he has risen from ex-con to working man, a garbage collector who angles successfully

Weston’s Troy, Charles Turner, is almost there. At the matinee, he still stumbled over the text in places. And, particularly in the first act, he hadn’t yet found a variety of colors in Troy’s rolling, Uncle Remus rhetoric; his delivery tended to a certain gruff sameness. But Turner has the right size, and he’s created a whole character; we understand the power he wields over his family, and we see his charm — particu larly in his easy camaraderie with his best friend Bono, played with heart by Jasper

As Cory, Jacques Cowart III has a nat ural athletic ease on stage, and he makes vividly clear Cory’s progression from forthright optimism to searing disappoint ment and finally to a kind of peace. It’s to his and Turner’s credit that, in their ulti mate confrontation scene, we really believe they might hurt one another. As single-minded, simple-minded Gabe, Guiesseppe Jones has enormous appeal but isn’t yet quite dangerous enough-, his sudden manic outbursts — “Hellhounds! Hellhounds!’’ — need an edge of real terror. But one o f Gabes entrances is among my favorite moments in the play — a brilliant interruption thsrW ilson inserts in the middle o f a crucial scene. That scene, when Troy reveals to Rose that he’s been having an affair aB ^is about to be a ; father? is wrenchingly played in Weston’s production. Perri Gaffney, who portrays Rose, seems almost too docile, in $he ,pre- 0 . ceding sfctnes -4-? the perfect wife to a fault. But that only makes her explosion in this scene more startling, and moving: “Eighteen years and you wanna come with this,” she gasps, reeling with the weight of all that wasted time. Gaffney gets it all — the tears, the shock, .the . anger. And in a beautifully directed and played moment later on, she gets her revenge so neatly it’s as if she’s slipped a shiv into Troy’s side. There’s good support from Ron Scott as Lyons, Troy’s ne’er-do-well son from a previous marriage, and an adorable per formance by Ludlow fifth-grader Angela Milligan as Troy’s daughter Raynell. Howard Jones’ set, a narrow, gray-stoned rowhouse, effectively suggests both domes tic containment and diminished horizons. C H A R LES TURNER AS TROY M AXSON

S E E I N G IS H E A R IN G At the Fences performance, visually impaired audience members will be able to do something they could never do before at the Flynn Center: see what's going on. That night, the Flynn Mainstage series is introducing audio description (AD). A narration service performed by live describers and transmitted via headsets to sight-impaired audience members, it provides a running description of the visual aspects of the play — colors, movements, gestures, facial expressions — that sighted theatergoers take for granted. Thougftjtpe technology dates back to the parly 1980s when Washington, D.C.'s Arena Stage first tried it, AD is still relatively new to Vermont theaters. Weston Playhouse was the first to introduce the option three years ago, arid only in the past year have other regional theaters offered it, including St. Michael's Playhouse, Vermont Stage Company, the University of Vermont and Lost Nation Theater. Very Special Arts of Vermont took the lead in setting up training sessions and getting grants; now the Vermont Council of the Blind is in charge, with help from Blind Artisans of Vermont and the state's Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired. According to Council treasurer and Artisans president Mike Richman, the annual budget for the AD program, which requires special transmitters and micro phones as well as honoraria for the narrators, is $10,000. For blind audiences, even something as basic as a cur tain call is hard to appreciate without a describes "You have no idea who has come out to take their bow," says Richman, who lost his vision at age 28 due to a degenera tive retina disease. AD usually requires a team of three: a technician, a pri mary describer for the play itself and a secondary describer for pre-show information, such as the layout of the theater and who's who in the cast. Weston Playhouse Education Director Rena Murman will be heading the team for Fences, assisted by Andrea Stander, communications director for the

She observes the play in rehearsal and then cre ates a script of her own, one for which she carefully choos es the words. She has to be quick.

Arguably, a blind theatergoer should be given the chance to notice, too. Debate aside, feedback from the visually impaired is enthusiastic.

revie wth is THE MAD MOUNTAIN SCRAMBLERS, SITTING DUCKS (S elf-released , CD) The Mad Mountain Scramblers, a bluegrass quintet based in Waitsfield, have ju st released their first CD, Sitting Ducks. Nine of the 12 cuts are originals, many of them by bass player Jayson Fulton on his own or in cahoots with someone else in the band. Three bluegrass classics round out the mix. The songs all show off the players' fine musicianship, with special attention given to the rock-solid banjo playing of Ben Larrow, the wild and sailing fiddle of Caleb Elder and the liquid mandolin work of multi instrum entalist Hollace Pratt. The usual bluegrass stew of guitar, mando, fiddle, banjo, bass and sometimes dobro is tweaked every

A s ia n -A m e ric a n S p le n d o r he four artists in the Helen Day Art Center’s “Clay Paper Wood Metal” exhibition aren’t playing “rock, paper, scissors”; Nori Morimoto, James Kelso, Toshiko Takaezu and Kay Sekimachi don’t play games with their art. Each direcdy and forcefully communi cates an individual aesthetic that is contemporary, yet informed by Japanese traditions. Kelso, Takaezu and Sekimachi are all U.S.born. Morimoto was bom in Manchuria in 1931 and has been liv ing in the U.S. for more than 40 years. So this is an American show with Japanese roots. Its tide reflects the media of all four. Wood sculptor Nori Morimoto was an apprentice to painter Genichiro Inokuma during the 1960s. Inokuma’s associates included John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Isamu Noguchi and others. Morimoto was particularly influenced by the sensibili ties of sculptor Noguchi. However, his style is distincdy his own. “Positive/ Negative” is a 9-foot square of layered hardwood, 40 inches deep, which has been torched and severed down the middle into two pieces. The elegant sculpture begs questions: Was the fire destructive or sim ply transformative? Does the seared, negative space imply an immaterial presence, or is it simply a lack of material? Morimoto’s “Modern Tower” is a 5 1/2-foot-tall jumble of maple and ash wood that rises precariously in a series of curves — the architecture of a single helix. Kay Sekimachi is a Nisei — second-generation JapaneseAmerican — born in Berkeley, California, in 1926. Her work is the paper component of the show. Sekimachi crafts bowls from the fibers of leaves, as well as from antique and handmade papers. She also uses a particularly amazing material: hornets’ nests. Her three “Hornet’s Nest Bowl” pieces are gossamer vessels with gray and white marbling. Sekimachi’s “Leaf Vessels” are made from single leaves. The shapes and scale of the works are directly relat ed to the tea ceremony, a uniquely Japanese art form that engages all the senses. Ceramist Toshiko Takaezu was born in Hawaii in 1922 and studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art under the renowned

potter Maija Groteil in the early 1930s. Takaezu’s pieces are largescale stoneware and porcelain that also have forms related to the tea ceremony, which she studied in Japan in the mid-1950s. But her primary Japanese influences are reflected in the execution. Her vessels, up to 2 1/2 feet tall, are asymmetrically formed; her glazes have the intense simplicity of Zen. Takaezu’s “Torsos” have a thick hourglass shape and no opening at the top. Each has just a small nib, which can also be interpreted as a nipple. James Kelso, bom in 1950, is the relative youngster in the show, and a metalsmith. Though his earliest works had traditional Euro-

His current work reflects both traditions. “Rabbit Flying Over Waves Brooch” is a copper, silver and gold piece with a wave design that is distincdy Japanese. In “Evening Moth Box,” a beautiful moth made of precious metals is mounted on a dark, wenge wood box. It and several other pieces here include the alloy shibuichi. Meaning “four parts,” shibuichi consists of silver, copper, tin and either zinc or lead. The metal provides a matte-finish counterpoint to the flashy silver and gold. “Evening Moth Box” also has a dusting of gold, called nashiji, over the wooden parts of the box. A bonsai tree nearly 400 years old is in the collection of the U.S. Arboretum in Washington, D.C. It was owned.by the same family near Hiroshima for six generations before coming to the U.S. after World War II. Germinated in Japan, and a silent wit ness to the first atomic bombing, it has thrived here and is now viewed by some 200,000 visitors a year. Like that tree, the art of “Clay Paper Wood Metal” is firmly planted in American soil and enriches our culture. ®

R a d io ★ ★ ★

uba Gooding Jr. has made some dubious choices over the past few years (e.g., Boat Trip) but this isn’t one of them. Traditionally, nothing puts a performer R A D IO D A Y S back on Oscar radar faster than a turn as a lovable character who’s mentally chal Gooding lenged. It’s done the trick for, among tackles others, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, the role of Billy Bob Thornton, Leonardo a mentally DiCaprio and Sean Penn (for Cliff challenged Robertson, too, back in 1968), so the man. actor can dream. Though his latest vehi cle may prove a litde too lightweight to get taken seriously by even as big a bunch of saps as the Academy. Radio offers the fact-based saga of a white high-school teacher and football coach who befriends a black young man with an unspecified disability and encourages him to take part in school activities, to the consternation of some in the community. Ed Harris plays Harold Jones, a figure the film’s creators fashioned as a composite of three coach es who in real life took James Robert Kennedy under their wings in the 1970s. Though the story is set in South Carolina and in a less enlightened era — though obviously post-desegregation — the movie’s milieu smacks of wholesome Mayberry. Harris notices Gooding watching from afar as the team practices, and invites him to help out on the sidelines. For the most part, except for some ini I -.

tial taunting, the players respond well to Kennedy’s childlike exuberance and treat him with respect. He and Harris devel op a close bond and, as a result of the relationship, “Radio” — nicknamed for his habit of collecting and repairing them — exhibits new-found self-confi dence. This is the sort of movie in which locals hang out in an old-fashioned bar bershop and talk about high school sports all day. When a banker (Chris Mulkey) begins to suspect the coach’s preoccupation with Radio may be taking his mind off the crucial job of “making it to state” and decides to sow seeds of revolt, he takes his case to the codgers. The thing is that, with the exception of the guy’s own kid, nobody gets particu larly worked up. To the contrary, the story is virtually conflict-free. Harris is noble and caring. As the school principal, Alfre Woodard’s heart is in the right place. Debra Winger makes a rare screen appearance as the coach’s supportive wife. Most of the players are likable youths. Harris’ assis tant, played by Brent Sexton, is a teddy bear. And with his goofy fake dental work and boy-trapped- in-a-man’s-body shriek, Cuba is easy to root for. Which makes the movie something of an anomaly. It’s not a parable about the importance of racial tolerance. The subject is barely mentioned. The towns

people are more concerned about the possible risk posed by an adult mentally disabled stranger mixing with their kids at school — a concern that isn’t entirely unreasonable. And the movie’s not about anyone triumphing against great odds. Radio doesn’t go on to become the team’s star quarterback or anything. He starts out lugging equipment, folding towels and cheering his teammates on, and two hours later (30 years in the case of the real Radio) he’s still doing the same thing. It may not be terribly dramatic by movie standards, but that’s his victory: acceptance. Inclusion. Give a challenged person the chance to live and work in the company of more typically developed peers and you give that person the greatest hope possi ble for achieving his potential, the theo ry goes. Neither Harris’ character nor the people of Anderson, South Carolina, had ever heard the word “mainstream ing,” as special educators call it today, but they knew it was the right thing to do and they did it. Directed by Mike Tollin (Summer Catch) and written by Mike Rich (The Rookie), Radio is a film many people may be tempted to laugh off as button pushing, feel-good fluff. Before doing so, they might want to ask themselves just what it is they find so funny about a little peace, love and understanding. ®

AMERICAN SPLEN DORAAAA1/J Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulrini have crafted one of the year's most talkedabout movies, a marvelously imaginative look at the life, work and unique world view of Cleveland comic-book artist Harvey Pekar. Starring Paul Giamatti, Hope Davis and Pekar himself. (R) CAMPAAA Todd Graff wrote and directed this musical comedy about a group of kids developing their talent and new friendships at an unusual summer camp for young performers. Anna Kendrick and Chris Spain star. (PG) ETRE ET AVO IRAAAA Nicolas Philibert spent a year in the French region of Auvergne documenting the inspiring rela tionship between a teacher named Georges Lopez and the 4- to 10-year-olds with whom he works in a small village school. (NR) FINDING NEM OAAAA They've told us tales about toys, bugs and monsters. This time the folks at Disney/Pixar have a fish story for us. Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres and Willem Dafoe do the talk ing in the CGI saga of two fish — a father and son — who are separated in the Great Barrier Reef and risk every thing to be reunited. Andrew Stanton directs. (G) FREAKY FRIDAY Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are paired in this update of the 1977 Disney comedy about a mother and daughter at odds until a twist of fate results in the two waking up in each other's bodies — and eventu ally gaining new respect for one anoth er's point of view. Mark Harmon costars. Mark Waters directs. (PG) GOOD B 0 Y !A A I/2 This comedy from writerdirector John Hoffman concerns a 12year-old boy who discovers that the pup he's just adopted is really a scout from the Dog Star Sirius. Featuring Liam Aiken and the voice of Matthew Broderick. (PG)

K in g m a k e rs nnoyed by the cheesy plastic Halloween lawn decorations that go on display before Labor Day? Tired of forking over bucketfuls of candy to sugar-greedy kids in superhero cos tumes? For a genuine fright-night experience, you could rent videos to enjoy instead — say, the Fido fears of Cujo or the flu-season ryghtmare of The Stand. Spread some Stephen King holiday cheer. Just in time for All Hallows Eve, Palgrave has published a book by Tony Magistrale of South Burlington that offers insights about the Maine horrormeister. Specifically, Hollywood’s Stephen King addresses how suc cessfully some of his work has been adapted for the big or litde screen. Magistrale, an English professor at the University of Vermont since 1983, has

The big-budget drama starring Nicole Kidman has disappointed most critics so far. But the little, you-are-there documentary — scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday at UVM’s Stafford Hall — delivers the excitement of a tense thriller. In a nutshell, it chronicles a 2002 attempt to overthrow the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised borrows its tide from that of a 1974 jazz/spoken word recording by Gil Scott-Heron. The phrase, which has since become part of the vernacular, now begs the question: What isn’t televised in the 21st century? Directors Kim Bartley and Donnacha O’Briain even prove that a counter revolution can be extremely telegenic. Nonetheless, the two Galway-based film makers benefit from the legendary luck of the

penned more than a dozen previous tomes — including a few about King. The new one presents a rare scholarly analysis of 25 movies based on the prolific novelist’s oeuvre, from chillers in the vein of Firestarter to less occult tales such as The Shawshank Redemption. “I’m trying to do for these films what I’ve always done for his books,” suggests the 51year-old Magistrale, who covers King in his American lit courses. “I help people under stand there’s a lot going on here.” In the 233-page paperback, Magistrale wonders why critics respect only a King book-to-film directed by the likes of Brian DePalma (Carrie), Stanley Kubrick (The Shining) or Rob Reiner (Stand By Me). Other projects tend to receive perfunctory reviews. When Magistrale treks to Bangor for a 2002 interview with King, the author muses that the supernatural genre’s appeal is rooted in the dark side of human nature. “People like to slow down and look at the accident,” he says. “That’s the bottom line.” And what will Magistrale’s bottom line be on October 31? “I’m signing copies of Hollywood’s Stephen King from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the UVM Bookstore,” he reports, sounding more promotion-sawy than spooky.

In what must have been a "senior moment,” I found myself at the wrong the ater for a press screening of The Human Stain at September’s Toronto International Film Festival. Too late for a dash to the correct venue, I followed a colleague to T h e R e v o lu t io n W i l l N o t B e T e le v is e d .

Irish. Already shooting a profile of Chavez when the fighting broke out, they remained inside the Caracas presidential palace to cap ture the entire 48-hour coup. Their chance footage is remarkable, a peek at history unfolding from an intimate vantage point. ' Elected in 1998, Chavez ruffled the oli garchy’s feathers by trying to help the poor, who make up 80 percent of Venezuela’s pop ulation. Yet his country is the fourth-largest oil producer in the world. A plan to redistrib ute some of that wealth also put this charis matic leader in the crosshairs of the Bush administration. Privately owned Venezuelan TV and radio stations immediately launched a campaign of disinformation. When opposition snipers killed 10 Chavez supporters last year, local media twisted the story so that the victims appeared to be the aggressors. This prompted the military brass — reportedly urged on by American officials — to surround the palace with tanks. Chavez agreed to be taken into custody only when the generals threatened bombing. He was held incommunicado on a remote island. Right-wing politicians anckbusinessmen were swiftly installed to head a new govern ment. But the next day, an estimated one mil lion Venezuelans gathered at the palace gates to demand that their democracy be restored. Bartley and O’Briain got it all. Aldiough the duo clearly sympathizes with Chavez, events seem to speak for themselves. Their documentary is incredibly suspenseful. Yon may already know how things turned out, but the scant and slanted U.S. news coverage of this story pretty well guarantees you don’t know what went down. ® Tv

O C T O B E R 3 0 -N O V E M B E R 05

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You have two biological parents, four grandparents and eight great-grandpar ents. You wouldn’t be you if it weren’t for those 14 people. The legacy they bequeathed you played a major role in determining your talents and flaws, your predilections and aversions. And this is a perfect astrological moment to get to know them better. In fact, deep ening your connection to your family’s history will provide crucial clues as you seek to reinvigorate your tired old per spectives on long-running dilemmas. Are you brave enough to mutate your understanding o f where you came from and where, therefore, you belong? Halloween costume suggestion: the ancestor who fascinates you the most.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): If I were writing this horoscope for Gun Lovers’ Casino Porn Today maga zine, I might advise my Taurus readers to keep their vices firmly in check, as this is a time when antisocial vices are likely to cause even more havoc than usual. However, since you are reading my words in a respectable publication and are undoubtedly a refined and eth ical person, I feel comfortable advising you to tap into the instinctual part o f your nature that is usually off-limits. Halloween costume suggestion: the animal whose spirit would best waken your dormant wildness.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): “You may have been born to be a worrywart,” says Edward Hallowell in his book Worry: Controlling It and Using It Wisely. “Some people have a nervous system that is like an alarm system that goes off too easily.” In my experience, only about 8 percent o f the Gemini tribe fit this description in normal

M o n t p e l ie r C h ir o p r a c t ic

times. But between late October and mid-November every year, the number zooms. Many o f you suddenly act as if you’re hard-wired to generate anxiety. You seem to enjoy scaring yourself silly. Why? W hat’s going on? It’s true that this is a favorable time to confront your doubts and fears. But the point is to conquer them, not let them con sume and demoralize you. My advice, then, is to unleash your inner warrior immediately. Halloween costume sug gestions: your favorite superhero or crusader for justice.

potent blend o f the magic o f fire and the magic o f water. Halloween costume suggestions: a mermaid carrying a torch or Neptune, god o f the sea, hold ing a thunderbolt.

glee, triumph and freedom. Halloween costume suggestion: a very happy baby.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you enjoy tormenting yourself with fantasies o f bad things that might hap pen in the future, surf over to the “Dante’s Inferno Test” Web site (www.4degreez.com/ misc/dante-infer no-test. mv). There you can get a pre diction about what level o f hell you’ll be exiled to after you die. If, on the other hand, you’re finally ready to shed your perverse attraction to doom and gloom — and my astrological analysis says you are — then zealously avoid entertaining yourself with fear and anxiety. Instead, use all your ingenuity to track down fascinating encounters with boom and zoom. Halloween cos tume suggestions: a pirate wearing smi ley face buttons or a gangsta rapper with a fuzzy “Sesame Street” puppet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The current state o f your fate could drive you half-crazy if you’re not patient. The gods seem to be teasing you with tantalizing promises that they later rescind. You’ve practically been forced to master the art o f living on the edge and in between. I’m reminded o f a passage from a poem by Octavio Paz: “All is visible and elusive,/all is near and can’t be touched.” My advice, Virgo: Visualize your predicament as an intriguing enigma, not a maddening ambiguity. See if you can approximate the condition the poet William Wordsworth described: “fleeting moods o f shadowy exultation.” Halloween costume suggestions: a puz zle, a majestic cloud, a second mask worn over the first mask.

CANCER(June 21-July 22): N ew species o f delight are headed your way, lucky one. Outbursts o f exotic bliss await you. There’s only one obsta cle that could interfere with your enjoyment: your attachment to old familiar ways o f stirring up the good times. Be willing to put them aside, at least temporarily, so that you can be fully available for sources o f future happiness. Keep William Blake’s poem in mind: “He who bends to him self a joy/Does the winged life destroy;/But he who kisses the joy as it flies/Lives in eternity’s sunrise.” Halloween costume suggestion: your favorite bird.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec. 2 1 ): You’re a giant surrounded by ants. Unfortunately, the ants are better organized than you. What are you going do about it? It’s not too late to launch a crash program to match them in their disciplined strength. If you do it now, you can accomplish this seemingly improbable feat without diluting the creative power o f your messy fertility. Here’s one suggestion that might help: Design a Halloween costume that expresses both extremes. You could be a soldier wearing a jester’s hat, for instance, or an ant riding a unicycle.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): “Dear Rob: I’ve spent my life trying to adjust to the fact that I never finished being born. Literally. It’s as if I didn’t actually agree to leave the womb; never surrendered to being cast out o f heaven and exiled into this heavy, difficult place called Earth. As a result, I feel I’m not completely here; I’m always holding back a little. But I’m tired o f this tentativeness. I want to arrive fully and embrace my destiny. Can you help?” — Unborn Libra Dear Unborn: Interesting you should bring this up. It’s a favbrable time for you Libras to come all the way down to Earth. I suggest that you do a medi tation in which you visualize yourself being born while filled with a sense o f

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In my meditations on your immediate future, I have sometimes seen poignant images: a wet firecracker, for instance, and a flickering flame on a thin candle propped up in a paper boat floating down a creek. But there have been other times when the image that came to mind as I meditated on you was a lover crying cathartic tears while in the midst o f a powerful orgasm. W hich o f these two perspectives is likely to pre dominate for you this week? It may depend on your ability to create a

A C U P U N C T U R E • C H IN ES E H ERBS • M A S S A G E • M ARTI

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): “Confront the difficult while it is still easy,” suggests the ancient Chinese book Tao Te Ching. “Accomplish the great task by a series

o f small acts.” This is perfect advice for you to act on in the coming weeks, Capricorn. To it I will add three varia tions on the theme: 1. Fix things before they’re broken. 2. Arrange to have a showdown on your home turf as soon as possible so you don’t have to submit to a confrontation in a time and place your adversary chooses. 3 . G o looking for good trouble before it degenerates into bad trouble. Halloween costume suggestions: scout, tracker, pathfinder, fortune teller.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Here are your affirmations for the week, Aquarius. Say them aloud at least 20 times every day. “I want to have a vision o f the recognition I will some day be worthy of. I want to ignore everyone else’s definition o f ‘professionalism’ and create my own. I want my reputation to be a close reflection o f who I really am. I want to feel what it’s like to have supple faith in my decisions.” Halloween costume suggestions: the leader you most admire, a famous wise person, an unpretentious king or queen.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It seems that the long-sought treasure is different from what it was when you first launched your quest to make it yours. Either that, or it has stayed the same and you have changed. Whatever the case may be, the fact is that you need to adjust your relationship with it. Its meaning and value have shifted, and the strategy you’ve employed in your pursuit o f it won’t work much longer. Halloween costume sugges tions: a knight o f the Round Table, an alchemist in search o f the philosopher’s stone, a religious seeker headed for the promised land. ®

LOLA

t h e lo v e c o u n s e lo r Dear Lola, My wife and I have recently discovered Instant Messenger. During down times at work we carry on secret, and often rather salacious, exchanges. We've been married for going on 40 years, and this has brought out a side of my spouse, and myself, I never knew existed. But we're still not nearly as free in person as at our keyboards. Our sex life's okay, but this recent emailing suggests an untapped potential. How can I make this happen? Virtually Virile in Vergennes Dear Virtually, It's not surprising that you're less inhibited on the screen than in the flesh. You don't say how long you've been IMing, but my guess is that it hasn't been long — in which case it may just be a matter of time. If you're not into such delayed gratification, why not use the computer's protective cover as an entree to actual activities? Spell out a specific sexual script online and make an appointment for enacting it. Or IM her the morning after about what you particularly enjoyed the night before. Oh, and while you're busy getting yourselves fired up, try not to get yourselves fired. Love, Lola
