VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION

TRACKING DEAN Interesting, Peter Freyne s "favorite presidential hopeful" has disillusioned him, re: Dean's dodging — refusal to comment on the Iraq War Resolution ["Inside Track," Oct. 16]. Where has Freyne been all this past year while Gov. Dean has been running around the country spewing Clintonesque accomplishments? Not until having read the Des Moines Courier will Vermonters know and be surprised by how much Dean has done for them and the state. Perhaps Mr. Freyne should devote some space to investigating the high hand of Gov. Dean in reining in his administrations response to the Fletcher Allen filing and financial shenanigans. The good "lock 'em up and throw the key away," doctor-governor did

not need a scandal by association chasing him from New Hampshire to California on his national political abortion rounds. William Kevan

pleased to see mention of his visit to Minnesota in support of the late Senator Paul Wellstone. Last December we left Vermont for our home state of Minnesota, sorry to leave behind such a strong and principled Congressional delegation, but pleased to be moving to Paul Wellstone's state. Wellstone was principled, populist and progressive, and we were proud to be represented by him for these few short months. At the time of his death he was in a very close race for reelection to the Senate, and help from his friends and colleagues across the country was important as they could attest to his unique role in the Senate, where he provided, as he used to say, "a voice for the little feller."

RANDOLPH

A LONG, STRANGE TRICK? Stanley Mouse ["A Long, Strange Trip," Oct. 23] may have created the typeface "psychedelic," but he is not responsible for the enduring image of the Grateful Dead's skulland-roses logo. Page 61 of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward Fitzgerald and published in New York City by Shakespeare House, shows not just a likeness to the poster imagepinted in Seven Days, but an exact copy. The book names Edmund J. Sullivan as the illustrator. The copyright is 1951. Perhaps Mr. Mouse needs to be reminded to take credit where credit is due. But to take undue credit, of which this case is an example, is actually illegal. Paul Brown

When we left Vermont we packed our last bottle of Jeezum Jim beer (thanks, Magic Hat!) in our U-Haul, to be enjoyed in our new state. Last weekend, mourning the death of our great Senator, we dusted off our bottle, poured a tall, cool glass of Vermont microbrew and had a toast to two great men — Paul Wellstone and Jim Jeffords.

porate mainstream mass-media monoculture avoids as taboo. Regarding your 10/9/02 "Reproductive Choice" cover story: Notwithstanding all the moaning and groaning by radical conservative wrong-wingers (formerly right-wingers) about judicial vacancies, the delaying and derailing of wrong-wing judicial nominees is an undisguised benefit to the un-rich 98 percent of the populace. That is because patronage

judges do not administer justice; they protect the privileges of the top 2 percent rich ruling class. Over a decade ago, there arose a conference on critical legal studies consisting of 500 faculty from the top law schools, and they realized and advertised that the patronage judiciary are a political tool, not problem solvers or dispute resolvers. Since abortion is the cement that holds together the conserva-

tive voting block of un-rich conservatives and the 2 percent rich, the wailing of the "critical" shortage of judges is an attempt to enable Bush to name one of his "highly qualified" wrong-wingers to the Supreme Court in the next two years, to overturn Roe v. Wade to salvage the voting block. It is a pity that conservatives soil the good name of the G O P in a selfish attempt to repeal Roe v. Wade, which the 98 percent un-rich must

abort at all cost, not only to give women a choice, but to counter the damage and suffering that conservatives inflict on the 98 percent un-rich every day. Peter D. Moss FAIRFAX

(Moss is a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2004.) POWER TO THE PEOPLE I have some questions on Peter Freyne's October 23rd column ["Inside Track"] as it pertains to Con Hogan's candidacy. Is he suggesting that only the leading "R" or "D" be supported? Are we supposed to only vote party lines and let the party leaders choose the candidate? What choice was there in the latest primary (s)election? Does one have to have corporate

sponsorship through party affiliation to be perceived as a viable candidate? Should we only vote for our favorite party and, if there is no clear winner, let a group of party loyalists select our leader? Hey, it works at the federal level; why should Vermont be different? Voter participation is at an alltime low, as people do not think that their vote matters. Mr. Freyne should be encouraging people to vote for candidates based upon abilities and positions on issues, not on their electability. If and when independent candidates are afforded due consideration, corporate control over our government can be lessened and the power returned to the people. Lee Cattaneo PLAINFIELD

CORRECTIONS: • James O'Brien of Comic News was misquoted in last week's "Mixed Media." Speaking for his publisher, Bob Guthrie, editor O'Brien said, "Bob claims we're apolitical, but we're really not. It's big business and politics that we are sort of taking aim at." • In last week's letters column, Joe Erdelyi's connection with Jim Douglas and the Vermont Housing Finance Agency was misstated. Joe Erdelyi is employed by the Vermont Housing Finance Agency. Jim Douglas is a member of the agency's Board of Directors. • Last week's story, "Critical Condition: Vermont's nursing shortage calls for a new prescription," reported that "several hundred nurses" at Fletcher Allen Health Care had been laid off as part of cost-cutting measures there in the late 1990s. According to a hospital spokesman, 175 positions were eliminated and 124 hospital employess were laid off, only 24 of whom were nurses. Seven Days regrets the error.

inside track RY A N IRREVERENT READ O N VT POLITICS

The Bitter End? he 2002 Vermont election campaign went down to the bitter end Tuesday. Nothing like an election to get decent folks to say and do dumb things. For example, if "normal" people dared to line up on the side of the road or on a highway median strip during rush hour and wave frantically at passing cars, they'd either be arrested by police or taken to the emergency room. But if you're a candidate for public office these days, you're expected to play the Honk & Wave Game. It's become de rigueur in Vermont politics. But what about safety, you ask? Democrat Doug Racine told us that one recent morning a female driver returned his wave with a honk and wave and then proceeded to plow into the back of the vehicle in front of her, which had stopped suddenly. As it is, most drivers are already distracted. Progressive Anthony Pollina told yours truly his unscientific survey found about half of them are talking on their cell phones. Hey, could we clean this up before 2004, or do we have to get somebody killed? Anyway, the good news is that Tuesday's turnout looked high for a mid-term election. The bad news is that Seven Days went to the printer before the votes were tallied. But thanks to the Internet, Inside Track will post a special election report on the Seven Days Web site by 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, November 6. You'll find it at www.sevendaysvt.com. For now, let's look back a little before we forget some of the special moments of Election 2002 — which, after all, won't be completely over until January 2003.

what the Lite-Gov candidate hoped for. The Banana Belter from way down south in Putney used to have a name recognition problem. Second, there's actually a whole lot of folks born into this world with some sort of disability. Dyslexia is a neurological disorder that inhibits recognition and processing of graphic symbols. It causes inability or great difficulty in learning to read or spell, despite normal intelligence. Some pretty smart folks have battled dyslexia, folks like Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill and Leonardo da Vinci. Putney Pete's "coming out" as a person who bears the cross of dyslexia was a public validation and celebration of potatoeluwers akross Virmont!

Speaking of Potatoes — You may have noticed the recent letter in the Seven Days mailbag from veteran Rutland Herald reporter Kevin O'Connor. Kevin gallantly jumped to the defense of the paper's prizewinning editorial page editor David Moats. In the wake of the Russian Heralds endorsement of Independent Con Hogan for governor, we suggested Moat's 2000 Pulitzer for his pro-civil-unions editorials had gone to his head. Nothing of the sort, declared O'Connor. Moat's editing continues to help the little folk like O'Connor, and the prize-winner's palate remains unchanged. According to Kevin (sister of Kate O'Connor, of Howard Dean fame, by the way), the mighty Moats still dines regularly on an unpretentious $2.18 Wendy's baked potato. OK. We take Mr. O'Connor at his word and hereby revise our comments: David Moats does not have a big head. Got that, Kevin? He has a big potato head!

Curses, Foiled Again Adam J. Kelly Jr., 34, an employee of the Dragon Garden Chinese Restaurant in Houma, Louisiana, broke into the restaurant after it had closed, but found the owner and another worker still inside. He grabbed a meat cleaver and threatened the two. He backed up his threat by throwing the cleaver at them, causing minor injuries but leaving himself without a weapon. The victims pounded Kelly with a chair and a pipe, then called the police.

He explained that his new skin color results from argyria, which is permanent but not serious. The condition was caused by colloidal silver, a natural antibacterial supplement that Jones began taking in 1999 because of fears that year2000 disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics. When his skin began turning blue last year, he stopped taking the supplement but continued his campaign. He noted that some voters have asked "if I'm dead."

polls during the Sept. 10 statewide primary, he failed to cast his own ballot. Ventura explained that he was too busy with official business, although the Pioneer Press reported that he found time to play a round of golf at his home course on election day. • Montana Republican Mike Taylor announced he was quitting his race against Democratic Sen. Max Baucus because a Democratic Party commercial implied he was a gay hairdresser. The ad, which questioned Taylors ethics in handling student loans at a beauty school he once owned, was accompanied by footage from a Colorado TV beauty program that Taylor hosted in the 1980s, showing him massaging another man's face.

Limited-Time Opportunity Days after the so-called Washington sniper claimed his eighth victim in Stafford County, Virginia, authorities received an anonymous 911 call that a hooded gunman was on the roof of a store in a Stafford County shopping plaza. Sheriffs deputies and state troopers stormed the area but found nothing. Meanwhile, dispatchers traced the call back to a cellular phone, which led them to Richard L. Jones, 25, manager of a Burger King store in the same shopping plaza. Jones told Deputy George Hernandez that he made the call hoping authorities would close his store because he had been working long hours

and was living out of his car and "wanted the day off so he could find a place to live." Instant Karma Parole violator Margie Stevens, age 35, was fleeing police in Wilmington, Delaware, in a rented van, which she used to plow a path through stopped cars at an intersection. Surrounded by police cars on Interstate 495, she braked, jumped out and ran toward a bridge over the Christiana River. Police said she was preparing to escape by jumping into the water 1000 feet below when she was struck by her rolling van, which she had forgotten to put into park. Drinking-Class Heroes Suspected drunk driver Kelly Faith Dougherty, 33, was arrested in Bainbridge Island, Washington, after she punched one officer, kicked another in the stomach and kicked out a patrol-car window, injuring a third officer. Detective Scott Anderson noted that the incident occurred as Dougherty was leaving an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. • When Michael Kocur, 39, of Port Byron, New York, admitted driving a riding lawn mower on a public street while drunk, Cayuga County Judge Peter E.

DIGGING INTO VERMONT'S ECO LOGIC

Organic Baloney t's official: the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is now calling the shots for what was once a vibrant food revolution. The organic food revolution, that is. In October, the USDA's organic standards became the law of the land, and the long, strange battle for — and against — federal organic food production and sales standards came to an end. What began as part of a thriving movement to provide "food for people, not for profit" — ideals that jump-started the food co-op phenomenon — organic foods are now, first and foremost, a mere commodity. In other words, the revolution is over and the commercialization is in full swing. Vermont played a pivotal role in the inauguration of this new organic age. Senator Patrick Leahy got the ball rolling in 1990 when he introduced legislation that sought to define and regulate organic food. And Grace Gurshuny, a Vermonter

ified foods (GMOs). Even in food co-ops, once bastions for food activism, these taboo foods are appearing beside their organic brethren. This trend wasn't hard to predict, of course. You had to know there'd be trouble when Dan Glickman, who was USDA head in 1998 when the first national organic standards were unveiled, began a press conference on the matter with these words: "I want to make it clear that these rules are not about creating a category of agriculture that is safer than any other." Interestingly enough, Glickman has gotten his just desserts from the organic industry for paving their road to profit. Since leaving office in 2001, he's been appointed to the corporate boards of two organic giants, Hain Celestial and Green Circle. It's this kind of revolving-door scenario — from being an industry regulator to an industry insider — that usually drives activists crazy. But there's been nary

For hardcore partisans in the organic revolution, any attempt to apply a one-size-fits-all set of federal standards is nothing short of, well, counterrevolutionary. and former USDA employee, was one of the principle authors of the first 600-pluspage draft of those regulations. Supporters of the USDA standards point out a need for rules governing the now $10-billion-a-year industry. To be sure, organic foods represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the food biz, expanding by more than 20 percent a year over the last decade. And with corporate behemoths like Pillsbury, Tyson, Mars and Archer Daniels Midland breaking into the lucrative market, policing the purity of organic claims may not be such a bad idea. But many small organic farmers and food enthusiasts aren't rushing to celebrate the milestone. The reason? For many, organic food was about much more than the commercialization of a brand; it was about promoting local food production and consumption, stepping out of the industrial paradigm and politicizing our relationship with food and the land it's grown on. For hardcore partisans in the organic revolution, any attempt to apply a one-size-fits-all set of federal standards is nothing short of, well, counterrevolutionary. Small organic farmers also worry that they're being nudged out of the process. Complying with the new standards is expensive and time-consuming, and it pits small producers against national industrial organic farms. In Vermont, for example, it's flabbergasting for a local organic farmer to be edged out of the market by cheaper produce from California. It's darkly ironic, too, to consider the evolution the food system has undergone in the past several years, as the USDA bureaucracy has seized upon the organic movement. Sure, organic foods are finding their way to mainstream supermarket shelves, but so too — in increasing numbers — are irradiated and genetically mod-

a peep about Glickman's run for the organic cash. All is not lost, however. Nationwide, people who aren't thrilled with the USDA's lowest-common-denominator approach to defining organics are conspiring to create the "next organic movement," something that's about more than just capitalism. They seem to be ceding the organic label to the new big boys on the block. Elliot Coleman, one of the godfathers of the old organic movement and author of numerous hands-on gardening books, is pushing hard to replace "organic food" with an "authentic food" label. "Authentic foods" would emphasize direct farmer-toconsumer marketing, animal welfare and customer certification: concerns the USDA couldn't care less about. Enid Wonnacott, the director of NOFA-VT — Vermont's USDA-approved organic certifiers — is even getting on the bandwagon. In a recent article in the NOFA Notes newsletter entitled "Alternatives to the National Organic Label," she calls for a new NOFA "local label" committee to look into alternatives to the recently established national label. As the feds take control of organics, many folks have just one thing to say: rest in peace. In brief: The battle over the Vermont Egg Farm in Highgate isn't over yet. The Canadian owners of the farm have decided to appeal ag commish Leon Graves' rejection of its request to more than double its number of laying hens to 230,000. Graves is sticking to his decision,' and a court battle appears to be looming. ®

AIRWAY?

Big Science n the excitement of the fall elections, did anyone notice how quickly the menace of Iraq disappeared? I don't mean the topic, but the actual threat, the "imminent danger" of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Democrat and Republican, friend and foe — in the run-up to Tuesdays contests, everyone found time to shake hands and stop worrying about nerve gas. It i, no wonder. "Nerve gas" is just a euphemism for chemical weaponry, and we still produce most of it ourselves — "biological cluster bombs," as reported last week by the Guardian of London, along with "anthrax and non-lethal weapons for use against hostile crowds." According to Malcolm Dando and Mark Wheelis, authors of a forthcoming paper in Bulletin

weapons plant from commercially available materials," just to prove that "terrorists" could do it, too, if they had the chance. Military tacticians, working with military scientists, think "laser beams have a number of potential applications and desirable attributes... They are impressed that laser guns can be 'tunable' either to stun or to kill." The United States, Dando concludes, "runs the very real danger of leading the world down a pathway that will greatly reduce the security of all." As far as I know, the Dando-Wheelis report has received no coverage in the American press. If it has, there hasn't been much. N -vertheless, a spokesman for the Pentagons Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate told the BBC last week that there was nothing to worry about. "We have

lawyers who are experts," this person explained, "and they tell us right away if something is a technology they should or should not be looking at. We don't have to go to a higher entity — they keep us honest." My guess is the Pentagons lawyers are as honest as Enron's accountants, only with less paperwork. Meantime, India, a nuclear power, has joined the United States in rejecting the Kyoto Protocol on reducing global warming. We, in turn, have joined OPEC nations in opposing the imposition of timetables for the adoption of renewable energy resources. Two billion people around the world are expected to live without dean water or basic sanitation by 2015. Twenty-three percent of the world's cropland, pasture, forest and woodland has been lost since the 1950s, and one-third of alt "terrestrial biodiversity" — that is, "life" — is squeezed onto 1.4 percent of the Earth's surface. But why be bleak? A happy side effect of military science is the development of sandwiches "that can stay moist and tasty without refrigeration for three years." So far they come in only two kinds, pepperoni and barbecued chicken, but they'll "last a minimum of three years at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, six months at 100 degrees Fahrenheit," according to Jerry Darsch, director of the Pentagon's "feeding program." "They will travel to the swampiest swamp, the highest mountain, the most arid desert," Darsch declares — like President Bush, he must keep a bust of Churchill on his desk. He's having trouble getting peanut butter and jelly on the menu, all the same. The jelly's OK, "but the peanut butter sucks moisture from the bread, causing bacteria to multiply." Leave it to Darsch: If we can just get the Iraqis to like Skippy and Jif, we could wipe 'em out in a week. ©

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS!

- BRITISH PROFESSOR MALCOLM DANDO of the Atomic Scientists, the United States military has all these things and more in research and development, in plain contravention of international law. "There can be disagreement over whether what the U.S. is doing represents violations of [existing] treaties," Wheelis says dryly. "But what is happening is at least so close to the borderline as to be destabilizing." Nicely put. "Destabilization" is a euphemism for lawlessness, hypocrisy and science without a leash. Dando and Wheelis are, respectively, a British professor of "peace studies" and an American microbiologist. Their report asserts that the U.S. is pursuing — and thus ensuring — "a breakdown in arms control" in order to work on its weapons plans in secret. These include the development of a strain of anthrax resistant to antibiotics and a new kind of cluster bomb, copied from an old Soviet model, designed to disperse chemical and biological agents in the atmosphere. All of them nonlethal, of course. Keep in mind that "non-lethal" doesn't mean non-destructive, non-painful or noncriminal, and that "hostile crowds" aren't the same as armies in uniform. American military scientists are currently at work on "lasers that blind the enemy" and "microwave systems that cook the skin of human targets." Apparently, by means of "an invisible pulse of energy," propelled at the speed of light, you can "heat a person's skin to about 130 degrees in two seconds" without "lethalizing" anyone. As to the various gases and spores, Dando remarks, "What happened in Moscow is a harbinger of what is to come. There is a revolution in life sciences which could be applied in a major way to warfare. It's an early example of the mess we may be creating." May be creating? This is the Bush doctrine at work in the field, Manifest Destiny for the new millennium.

BY CECIL ADAMS more likely they'll have twins, and assisted-reproduction technologies like in vitro fertilization have a similar effect. Pregnancies involving multiple fetuses are inherently riskier than the usual kind — infant mortality is seven times higher for twins than for single babies and 19 times higher for triplets. (God knows even the singleton method is no walk in the park — why couldn't we just be like tortoises and drop eggs in the sand?) For years doctors assumed that if one twin came out early, there was no choice but to get the other one out right away, due to the risk of intrauterine infection. If contractions subsided after the birth of the first twin, standard procedure was to induce labor and deliver the sib anyway, even though it was likely to die. That's no longer the default approach. Increasingly the feeling is that if labor stops after emergence of the first baby, the mother is game and all other conditions are favorable, the arrival of the second should be postponed, or at least not hurried — the fetus will benefit from increased time in the womb. In one recent review of six intentionally delayed twin deliveries (Hamersley et al, Journal of Reproductive Medicine, February 2002), five of the second twins survived. On average, gestation was prolonged 93 days. Longest delay, five months. In most cases of delayed twins the first child dies, but not in all — which brings us back to those twins who both Cecil, survived despite being born 56 days apart. The 24-year-old Can a set of twins be born a month or two apart?

The first baby was born on December 16, 1952 (after 32 weeks in possible? — Ma Schu the womb), when the placental membrane ruptured prematurely. The second baby was born February 10, 1953.

rida Kahlos life wasn't half as pretty as her clothes: The Mexican artist was mustachioed and unibrowed — and chose to remain that way. She contracted leg-withering polio as a child. She was impaled through the abdomen by a streetcar handrail as a young woman and endured more than 30 surgeries. She matured into a crippled, bisexual Communist who twice married a man said to consider extramarital sex tantamount to a "handshake." Yet, like the uncanny cloud of real gold dust that settled upon her bleeding body after that streetcar accident, Kahlos life has collected a patina of glamour that even the direst factual details can't shake. Place her name in a search engine and some 65,000 Web links appear, offering everything from religious conversion to prints and books, coffee mugs, trivets and T-shirt reproductions of her work to temporary tattoos featuring the artist's anguished image. PlanetPretty.com seems to hit stride with its deeply intellectual assertion, when selling Frida gift books, that Kahlo (1907-1954), like contemporary soul sisters Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek, was a true "Hispanic hottie."

Contemporary Thoughts www.fridakahlo.it Frida Loves Diego Zine Mail Order www.geocities.com/oddviolet28/mailorder.html All this digital fuss is due in part, of course, to Hayek's new biopic about Kahlo, sensibly entitled Frida. As seen on the slavish fan site "Hayek Heaven," becoming Frida Kahlo consisted largely of swanning around in the lovely Tehuanan gowns she favored, hair elaborately dressed in ribbons and flowers, rouged lips ready to fall with lust on man and woman alike. To look at Hayek's publicity stills and copy, one would readily assume that life for Kahlo was a complete lark — even existing as she did in relentless pain, and nursing a Demerol addiction along with a wee drinking problem while her husband, the great Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, shagged a model in the studio. In real life, Frida Kahlos best revenge was to make it look like a lark. The mostly good Italian Web site "Frida Kahlo and Contemporary Thoughts" does a fair job of providing some background. Primarily a self-portraitist who produced only 200 small paintings in her lifetime,

Kahlo was an untrained, "primitive" artist who taught herself to paint while confined to bed following her horrendous accident. Later proclaimed Surrealist by the French practitioner Andr^ Breton, her works are energetic romans a clef that symbolically depict the artist's physical and emotional pain through recurring motifs. "Contemporary Thoughts" hyperlinks Kahlo's posthumous decorative influences on everything from low to high fashion. Starting at the bottom, this site directs to the "Frida Loves Diego Zine Mail Order" site, which specializes in getting the photocopied mania of the few into the hands of the slightly less few. Regarding high fashion, "Contemporary Thoughts" links to shots of Jean-Paul Gaultier's models slinking around in Kahlo's signature beribboned braids, the Tehuanan garb severely discarded in favor of sheer tops and big bras, as though perpetually preparing for bed. "Thoughts" also provides the best

bibliography of critical essays on Kahlo's work this side of the library. More breathless and less highfalutin is the full-tilt Frida worship of young Kimberley Masters. Just 21, Masters has created a "World of Frida Kahlo" site that allows the cyber hostess to reign as high priestess in that fervent new faith known as Kahloism. "Kahloism is a religion that worships Frida Kahlo as the one true God," she explains. "Kahloists have a dress code. Only incredibly sexy or very unique clothing is allowed. Kahloists are individuals who are not afraid to be themselves in a world that seems to reward conformity." With new worship comes new language: Masters introduces the hep term "Blue House." Because Kahlo was born and died in a home — now a national museum — named the Casa Azul for the color of its walls, Masters informs, "We use the term 'Blue House' to describe anyone who is awesome enough to either (a) have an affair with either Frida or Diego, or (b) be able to party with Frida and the rest of the gang... Anyone [who] wears thick glasses and terrible clothes is not 'Blue House.' Madonna is 'Blue House.' A tremendous amount of today's models, actresses and actors are 'Blue House.' "I think," Masters ends archly, "you have the point by now." Yeah, it's about the clothes. Perhaps strangest of all Frida fandom is the work of contemporary Japanese painter Yasumasa Mori-

. :

mura. He busies himself in the outer eddies of Kahloism by reproducing most of her self-portraits in minute detail, substituting his own hairy face for hers. In an interview with Artnet.com magazine, he assures that "You might think there is a long distance between a 50year-old man living in Osaka and a person impersonating Frida Kahlo. But I don't associate myself with what people might usually think of a 50-year-old man living in Osaka. Every day I look at Frida Kahlo's pictures, trying to see how to work with them. I try to figure out what to wear, then look for the outfits and jewelry. I dress myself up, create the background and take pictures. T h e whole process is my transformation, and it's more real to me than the fact that I'm an Osakabased 50-year-old man." How Blue House is that*. Pretty blue, and blue it can make you. Whether Kahlo was even a good artist is sadly beside the point. From the click-here-to-buy pump of her highly recognizable images to the romanticism of her life — based almost solely on how darned amazing she could make herself look — Kahlo's fragile hold on the big life she chose to embrace is both saluted and subsumed on that watery coast we call the Web. ® Web Feat wants to pluck the best from your brain.

our controversial "Vermont Taliban" column last January, Pearl leafleted legislators with a flyer describing yours truly as a "hatemonger." (Apparently Vermont Public Television agreed with him, bowing to pressure from like-minded conservatives to remove yours truly from the "Vermont This Week" program for a couple months.) Pearl accused yours truly of "Secular Extremism," and "hatred of the Yankee Judaic Christian Culture." He also pointed out that it was, by definition, incorrect for yours truly to refer to Rep. Nancy Sheltra as a member of the Vermont Taliban. The Pearlster wrote: "The definition of'Taliband' [sic] to the best of my knowledge is 'Students of Islam,' referring to Representative Nancy Sheltra a professing Christian as a Student of Islam is a blatelent [sic] contradiction." Metaphor obviously escapes him. And his spelling skills indicate he and Shumlin may have at least one thing in common. Let's face it. Being called a

vehicle accident. Ch. 3 first reported alcohol had been involved, but Pearl vehemently denied it and later produced court records to back it up. The Pearlster told Marsillyiss and the Joycer that he had pled guilty to the misdemeanor traffic offense of "unlawfully killing a human being." He received a three-year suspended sentence and served 30 days. He also told Ch. 3 that he'd been arrested for hitchhiking in New Jersey and brawling in Alaska. And he said his jail time gave him an "advantage" over the other candidates. You betcha! If Mr. Pearl should crawl back into his oyster, will anyone miss him? Media Notes — No shortage of new faces on the local TV news scene. WGOP, er, sorry, WCAX is going Irish with two new Micks on the mikes. Kate Duffy moved over to Ch. 3 from WNNE in White River Junction. That's the sister station of Ch. 3's arch rival, WPTZ. Both are

"hatemonger" by Brian Pearl is like being called a "racist" by the Grand Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. After all, if Brian had a party, it might be called the Delusional Party. On an almost weekly basis this election season, Pearl has reserved a room at the Statehouse. Recently we had the good fortune to be under the golden dome when Brian had booked Room 10. Curiosity got the best of us. Inside Room 10, we saw that Mr. Pearl was all dolled up in his best suit giving a speech to the rows of empty chairs. The "Twilight Zone" theme started ringing in our ears and we quietly closed the door and quickly departed. And we're not alone. Marselis Parsons at WCAXTV is also on Mr. Pearl's hit list. "I am the skeleton in Marselis Parsons' closet," Pearl declared to the statewide VPT audience Sunday evening. Always wondered who was rattling around in there, eh? Pearl's comment was apparently a reference to a WCAX-TV report in August 11, 2000. Pearl, who was challenging Gov. Howard Dean in the Democrat Primary, was a guest on "You Can Quote Me." Mr. Parsons and Brian Joyce confronted Candidate Pearl with his criminal past. In 1989, according to the WCAX report, Pearl had been charged in California in connection with a double-fatal motor

owned by the Hearst-Argyle chain. Ms. Duffy picked up her sheepskin at Boston College, then got a masters at Northwestem's Medill School of Journalism in Chicago. According to Ch. 3 News Director Marselis Parsons, Kate will shortly be staffing a brandnew Upper Valley bureau opening on the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut River. Meanwhile, the other side of Lake Champlain is seeing a lot more of Andrew Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan is moving up from tape editor to reporter, says Marsillyiss. He'll be backing up WCAX's legendary New York reporter Jack LaDuke. Learning from the master, eh? Over at WVNY-TV, our ABC affiliate, Eszter Vajda and Carl Leimer are the new kids on the block. Eszter is a Massachusetts native. She comes to Ch. 22 from a news anchor job on the upper peninsula of Michigan. Carl is a thirtysomething Charlotte, North Carolina, native who decided to bag sales and marketing and become a TV journalist. He interned at W C N C in Charlotte to get his TV legs. Leaving Ch. 22 is health reporter Ana Kelly. Ms. Kelly told Seven Days she misses the West'Coast. She'll be returning to beautiful Seattle in a few weeks and plans on getting back to her first love — radio. Best wishes, Ana!

t h e d i a m o n d s of

What a Town! — Playing radio reporter last Thursday (WDEV AM-FM/WVAA-AM), yours truly ran like a Thompsons gazelle for two hours. From Jim Douglas' 11 a.m. "George Bush and I Have Saved the Circ" press conference in Williston to Doug Racine's 11:30 a.m. "I'll Fight For Women" press conference at an Old North End day-care center, to a noontime "Don't Vote for Brian Dubie" rally outside City Hall that waterfront developer Melinda Moulton organized. Late in the game, the Vermont left woke up to the fact that Brian Dubie, a very conservative Republican, was on the verge of winning the race over the two dashing lefties. Ms. Moulton's focus was Dubie's opposition to women's reproductive freedom. That was the issue highlighted in the passionate speeches by Gov. Madeleine Kunin, Rep. Mark Larson, attorney Sandy Baird and others. But the most interesting attendee was the chap in the Elvis Halloween mask holding a little cardboard sign in front of him. It read: "Smoke Dubie." Seriously. Next time out Mr. Dubie ought to consider seeking the nomination of the Make Marijuana Legal and Vermont Grassroots parties, too. Can't hurt Doobie-Doo, eh? After a quick stop for lunch at the Oasis Diner, we arrived home and prepared to edit our tape for radio. The discovery that the tape recorder was missing sent us towards the outer realms of hysteria. As the rational side of the brain kicked in, we remembered the last time we'd handled the recorder. It was while sitting on the wall in front of Burlap's City Hall. No problem. Picked up the phone and rang Ms. Moulton. "You didn't possibly find a tape recorder lying around after the rally, did you?" "Yes," said she, to our instant relief. "My husband noticed it." Thank God for traditional marriage, eh? "I'll be right over," said I. Don't bother, said she. "We don't have it. We left it there on the wall." Jesus, Mary and Joseph! "You left it on the wall?" said I incredulously. Left it there? In the heart of the big, bad city of Burlington, where heroin addicts and furloughed inmates prowl the streets? With the fire of hope reduced to a flicker, we hopped on the two-wheeler and pedaled ferociously towards downtown. The odds were certainly not in our favor. Sliding to a stop in front of City Hall, yours truly looked through the passersby, hoping to see a miracle. There in the blazing sunshine, all by its lonesome atop the granite wall, sat the silver Radio Shack tape recorder, just where we'd left it an hour and a half earlier. What a wonderful town! ®

Anti-war activists lament a dearth of media attention

o, did you read about the 1500 or so Vermonters who went to Montpelier Oct. 26 in a cold rain to rally against a U.S. invasion of Iraq? Did you hear interviews with any of the eight busloads of Vermonters that joined the 100,000 antiSTORY war protesters in Washington, D.C., the KEN same day?

Mary's Restaurant Cozy Country Lodging Market-fresh Cuisine Chef-owned (802) 453-2432 (888) 424-2432 North Route 116 Bristol, Vermont

Six-course wild game dinner, each course perfectly paired with an accompanying fine wine. Informal discussion of the evening s wines with our wine host, Joerg Klauck of Vermont Wine Merchants. $59 per person tax and gratuity additional limited seating, reservations required.

T h e anti-war protests in Montpelier and Washington were the top stories on Burlington's WVNY-TV Channel 22 news that night. W P T Z - T V Channel 5 reported only on the protests in Montpelier and Plattsburgh, but didn't lead with it, while W C A X - T V Channel 3 opted to forgo the demonstrations entirely, sending its two weekend news crews to cover Democratic and Republican campaign events instead. Vermont Public Radio gave the protests more in-depth coverage, reporting both before and after the marches. Elsewhere in Vermont, local coverage was spotty. "This is an example of a huge movement. We had some of the biggest rallies since the Vietnam War [on Oct. 26] and they were scarcely reported. It's almost a conspiracy. It's really kind of scary," says Chris Meehan, executive director of Burlington's Peace and Justice Center. Meehan points out that a peace protest held in Burlington a week earlier drew 600 to 700 people in heavy rain but

attracted scant media attention. This despite the ubiquity of coverage on the War on Terrorism and a possible invasion of Iraq, she says. "Maybe it's not flashy enough... Maybe peace hasn't become sexy yet," suggests Kim Ead, peace and human rights project director at the Peace and Justice Center. "It's not blowing people up. Its not killing people, and ghat's What the media likes to show you. Organizers grousing about bad press coverage is as old as rained-on parades, and lately about as common. "It is a typical lament of activists, and has been for generations as far back as I've seen," says David Mindich, chairman of the journalism department at St. Michael's College. "Saying that, it doesn't mean they're wrong." Historically, the press has often been slow to take notice of grassroots organizing, from the anti-Vietnam War rallies of the 1960s to the women's movement of the 1970s to the nuclear disarmament campaign of the 1980s. "Grassroots movements don't always lend themselves well to hierarchical structures, and oftentimes the press may resist covering them because of that," Mindich says. "It's not as easy a soundbite as working within the normal political structure." Many of Vermont's peace activists are quick to point a Finger at a familiar culprit: the increasing consolidation of the news media, which has left most of the nation's newspapers and T V networks in the hands of about a half-dozen corporations. "I just think that corporate media is not interested in organized citizenry," says Joseph Gainza, program coordinator for the Vermont office of the American Friends Service Committee in Montpelier, which helped organize the Oct. 26 march on the state capital. "Something that questions the status quo is not of interest to them." If Vermont peace activists are feeling frustrated in their attempts to get the attention of local editors and news directors, they're in good company. An Oct. 2 7 story in The New York Times about the Washington, D.C., march referred only to "thousands of protesters" but included no

official crowd estimates. "Fewer people attended than organizers had said they hoped for," the article stated, suggesting that the recent sniper shootings in the D.C. area may have kept people from attending. About half the article focused not on the march itself but on a recent poll about Americans' support for, or 0pj3psitiq.fi to, an invasion qf Iraq. Only in passing did it mention that protests were held elsewhere in the country and around the world. Initial coverage of the D.C. protest by National Public Radio similarly downplayed the turnout. During an Oct. 26 broadcast of "Weekend Edition," NPR's Nancy Marshall commented, "It was not as large as the organizers of the protest Had predicted. They had said there would 100,000 peonle here. I'd say there are (rvver than 10,000."

around the White House." It noted that the "turnout startled even organizers, who had taken out permits for 20,000 marchers. They expected 20 buses and were surprised by about 650, coming from as far away as Nebraska and Florida." Editor and Publisher, a journalism trade publication, suggested that the Times had blown" its initial coverage, and said the follow-up story had '"make-up article' written all over it." "This is a huge change journalistically," says Peter Hart, a media analyst with FAIR. "I think this is a dramatic case because the difference between the two \New York Times] stories is so glaring that anyone who's read the two pieces together walks away thinking something was wrong." Several days later, N P R issued a rare correction of its First crowd estimate and apologized to its listeners for the error.

We had some of the biggest rallies since the Vietnam War, and they were scarcely reported. It's almost a conspiracy. It's really kind of scary." -Chris Meehan

"As far as the national press goes, I'm disgusted," says Ead. "The sniper was more important than 10,000 or 100,000 or a half-million people out in the streets who are really upset about U.S. foreign policy. It's very disappointing." Peace activists elsewhere were equally incensed. T h e New York-based media watchdog group FAIR — Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting — sent out an "action alert" condemning the coverage and urged its members to contact the Times and N P R with their complaints. Three days later, Times readers were treated to an entirely different story. T h a t article, which ran on page A13, included crowd estimates of 100,000 to 200,000 "who formed a two-mile wall of marchers

Still, local activists aren't predicting a sea change just yet in coverage of the antiwar effort, especially in a post-9/11 environment where dissent is often demonized as unpatriotic and un-American. Members of Vermont's peace groups — at least 11 statewide — insist that they will keep taking their message to the streets. Weekly vigils are held in Burlington, Montpelier, Hardwick, St. Johnsbury and elsewhere, regardless of whether the media attend. "Its important that the peace movement continues to have a public presence, to strengthen the resolve of people who may not be political in that way, yet agree with our positions," says Gainza. "To know that we're out there gives heart to people." ®

Post-snipers, Vermont gun fans set their sights on the Bushmaster

all it a business boom. Bushmasters have been flying off local shelves recently. The semi-automatic rifle, made infamous by me Beltway Snipers, has always been popular in Vermont for target practice and small-game hunting. But, after Octobers killing spree in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, the .223-caliber "assault weapon" found with the sleeping suspects seems to have created an unprecedented demand for that brand of gun in this state. "I've sold a much higher number than usual this month," confirms Henry Parro, owner of Parro's Gun Shop & Police Supplies in Waterbury. Frank Lefebvre, a clerk at the Powderhorn Outdoor Sports Center in Williston, has seen a similar sales surge. "Our stock of Bushmasters just dried up overnight," says the Richmond resident, who happens to own one himself. Hinesburg's Bob Reid has a few Bushmasters at home. "They're fun to shoot and very accurate," he explains. "Also, the parts and accessories are plentiful." Although now associated with evil around the nations capital, the Bushmaster retains a halo of innocence in the Green Mountain State. With some of the country's least restrictive gun-control laws but one of the lowest crime rates, Vermont is sort of a Second Amendment poster child. Actually, Article 16 of the state constitution goes much further than the federal document by mentioning the right to bear arms for "personal defense," Parro points out. "This is the safest state because an armed society is a polite society," suggests Lefebvre, who cautions that he's expressing his own views rather than speaking on behalf of the Powderhorn.' "In 2001, Vermont! shooting deaths. New York, which has some of tF most draconian gun-control laws, had 20 to 27 murders a day in the same time period."

Statistics can cut both ways in the blame game, of course. More Americans are killed by gun-toting Americans than by foreign terrorists. A recent column in The New York Times calculated 15,980 homicides — mostly by firearms — nationwide last year, compared with a death toll of almost 3000 in the September 11 attacks. But why the sudden passion for a rifle that conjures up such a bloody image right now? "I think people see it as an investment in case the government tries to ban that entire family of weapons," suggests Parro, a bespectacled man with a professorial air and a thorough knowledge of armaments. The New England Outdoorsman in Rutland carries only the occasional Bushmaster, but owner Michael Pratico has noticed "a lot of conversations in my shop lately about legislation that could be coming our way to ban these guns. It's a hot topic for discussion."

The Bushmaster is a civilian cousin to the M-16, which was developed during the Vietnam War. "They were designed to penetrate and wound," Lefebvre says, adding that a badly wounded enemy soldier would be a greater drain on his army's resources than a dead soldier would. "It was a question of the ammo, too. The .223 cartridge is lighter to carry around." A thin .223 bullet is dwarfed by a chunky 30-06, typically used for deer hunting. The smaller caliber is

also much less costly — $4 for a box of 20, compared to $30 for an equivalent package of the larger amunition. Manufactured in Maine, the Bushmaster rifle is all black, a sleek combination of plastic and weatherized metal with a mid-range price tag of about $700. A ripple of political gallows humor has played on the coincidence of a weapon that shares its name with the gun-loving U.S. president. Ironically, the company's head honcho, Richard E. Dyke, served as chief Downeast campaign fundraiser for Dubya in 1999. The Portland Press Herald reports that the firm sells about 50,000 rifles a year in 38 countries, earning $36 million. U.S. law enforcement agencies and "friendly" foreign governments account for many of those purchases. When news of the Bushmasters role in the D.C.-area murders broke last month, Dyke told his employees, "We have nothing to apologize for." Many Vermont gun enthusiasts, citing the familiar "people kill people" mantra, would agree. Henry Parro believes that the alleged snipers, John Muhammed and Lee Malvo, could easily have used other kinds of rifles to get the same results. "But you always come back to the fact that it's a person committing the crime," he says. "In a DWI, we don't blame the car," notes Lefebvre, who has a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association. "There's a duality in our society." Bob Reid, an avid target-shooter and a member of the NRA for 40 years, stresses that a variety of methods is available to potential killers. "Timothy McVeigh used ammonium-nitrate fertilizer and diesel fuel in Oklahoma City," he says. "Most gun owners are lawabiding, tax-paying citizens." And they're not necessarily all Republicans. "I've been a Democrat all my life," Reid acknowledges. "There aren't any simple demographics for people who own guns." The NRAs munitions-minded ranking of Vermont candidates does not follow party lines: Jim Douglas gets an A and Doug Racine a C, but Peter Shumlin trumps his A-rated opponent Brian Dubie with an Aplus. The same grade was awarded to Elizabeth Ready, though fellow Dem Deb Markowitz lands at the bottom of the heap with an F, along with Independent Bernie Sanders.

Some gun aficionados draw a distinct line i n the sand. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is "a Gestapo run by a bunch of Democratic liberals," contends the Quebec-born Lefebvre, who served with the U.S. military in Somalia and the Persian Gulf. He also characterizes Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and other places with stringent gun-control laws as "the ProCommunist States of America." If ATF agents are akin to storm troopers, it's odd that Bull's Eye Shooter Supply in Tacoma, Washington, has yet to be penalized for losing track of 150 guns in 2001 and a whopping 340 so far this year. The Bushmaster found with Muhammed and Malvo was traced to the store, which reportedly cannot supply any paperwork for the supposed sale or the required FBI scrutiny. "If they had come in here, they would have gone through a federal background check," vows Parro. "It takes about five minutes to do. I just call the FBI and give them the date of birth and Social Security number. Legitimate gun shops don't have a problem. There's seldom anyone who comes in here and doesn't pass, though." At Powderhorn, where customers are greeted by an enormous picture of John Wayne firing a pistol straight at them, Frank Lefebvre has witnessed how the system can sometimes seem unfair. "About five months back, we had to deny a guy who'd been picked up in Florida for marijuana possession 40 or 50 years ago, when it was still a felony," he says. A proper screening of Muhammed in Tacoma would have revealed a restraining order on his record, prohibiting the purchase of that particular Bushmaster — perhaps assuring notoriety for some other type of weapon. "Gun tastes always change with current events," observes Parro. "Every time there's a tragedy, we see an influx of buyers afraid the government will impose more laws," Michael Pratico suggests. "People want Bushmasters now not only as collectibles, but to proclaim their right to own that gun." (7)

Party Like It's 1989

Attending a reunion closes the book on eighth grade

I STORY

CATHY RESMER

didn't go to school in Vermont, but I've learned a few things since I moved here. I've learned, for instance, about closure. W h e n you feel something has been resolved, you have closure. Let's say, for example, that when you were 12 someone called you a hairy ape because you didn't shave your legs. If the person apologized and admitted they were uncomfortable with your body hair because of the way American society promotes an unnaturally hairless feminine ideal, then you might have closure. I'd like to resolve a few things about my childhood in suburban Detroit, Michigan. Mainly I refer to myriad instances of adolescent cruelty that transpired at St. Peter the Apostle School in Harper Woods, the small Catholic school I attended from Montessori through eighth grade. Some people forget about painful events from their pubescent years in an act self-preservation; some people obsess over them as if picking at a scab. I count myself among the pickers. So when Mark Nardelli called me last summer to invite me to a spontaneous eighth-grade reunion, I was thrilled. Perhaps, at last, I might achieve closure. I've told and retold the horror stories of my adolescence many times. The period between my sixthand eighth-grade years is like a favorite cult T V series I watch over and over again. Classic episodes include: "I Was a Teenage Tomboy," "Can I Tag Along With You and Your Cool Boyfriend?" and "I Wasn't Invited to the Party, I Can Cry If I Want To." If this show were to win an Emmy, it would be for the tearjerker, "Ehcatsuom," in which 14-yearold Cathy suffers a blow to her self-esteem. Cathy's close friends Megan O ' H a r a and Stacy Mickowski give her a new nickname, "Ehcatsuom." They wink and titter at each other every time they say it. "Whwhat's if mean?" asks our plucky protagonist. "Oh, nothing," they reply. O n graduation day, Megan reveals the secret behind "Ehcatsuom." "It's 'moustache' spelled backwards," she says, staring at the slight shadow of dark hair on Cathy's upper lip. Cue dramatic music. Cue utter devastation. But I wasn't just a victim. Though my wise mother tried to instill in me a sense of compassion, I soon learned that, at my school, compassion was for dorks. We said prayers daily, but that didn't keep us from acting out scenes from Lord of the Flies when the teachers weren't looking. O n e day I'd be buddies with Brian Higbee, the class brain; the next day I'd plop a banana peel on his head at lunch. O n e day I'd be "going with" Christian Baterman; the next day I'd sneer at his bad grammar and flick his big ears. And poor John Fasse. I passed around "the Fasse touch" just like everyone else. T h e "Fasse touch," I've since learned, is a variation on a common theme, repeated in classrooms everywhere. Usually the "touch" is named after the least popular kid. O n e kid tries to infect another by touching him or her while saying, "[insert poor schnook's last name] touch!" The target of this attack may claim immunity by crossing her fingers. T h e namesake has no choice but to watch the other kids try to avoid being infected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pure psychological torture. I also had a particularly vicious relationship with Becky Whipple. We met in kindergarten. Becky was built bigger than most of us and so became "the fat girl." Becky's popularity fluctuated like mine, a stock that went up or down based on our shifting allegiances to other, more popular girls. Girls like Megan. I also met Megan in kindergarten. Sixth in a family of seven, she was outgoing and wiser than most of us. By the time we got to sixth grade, she and her boyfriend Brad Lavigne were the embodiment of cool. M y popularity rating shot up 300 percent whenever I was near them. But Becky was also Megan's friend, and Megan-town wasn't big enough for both of us. So I'd whisper to Megan that Becky was her "shadow." I made up a song about Becky. Once, in gym class, I asked Becky to stand up and then to sit down. She did both, then asked me why. "I wanted to see if the Earth shook," I said.

Putting Becky d o w n was o n l y part of m y popularity-improvement strategy. T h e other part involved hanging out with Megan whenever possible. In eighth grade, Megan and I were both altar girls for St. Peter's Parish. Whenever there was a funeral on a school day, I would volunteer to be an altar server and convince Megan to do the same. I served 21 funerals that year, just so Megan and I could goof off in the incense closet and see who could squeeze the other's hand harder during the funeral mass Our Father. Funerals weren't the only time we spent together. Megan and I played on all the sports teams. We carpooled to school ski trips and did community service for our Confirmation. We called each other at night to rehash our days. I still remember her phone number. So when Megan didn't invite me to her eighthgrade birthday party, I felt betrayed. It seemed like everyone else was going. I even asked her if there had been some mistake. "No," she said, "my m o m just doesn't want me to invite too many people." Instead of crushing me into oblivion, this backhanded cruelty inspired little teenager me to try harder. I started writing stories. T h e stories always starred Megan, Brad, me and other classmates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but never Becky. My literary influences at that

point were Stephen King, Christopher Pike (Stephen King for teenagers), and Mad Magazine. Consequently, my stories had titles like "Mad Megan: Lab Animal." T h e basic plot of this tale follows the same pattern as its counterparts, "Mad Megan: Life of Turmoil," and "Megan's Fall Through Cloud Nine." In each, something horrible happens to Megan that separates her from Brad. In "Lab Animal," Megan turns into a bloodthirsty dog one morning at school and murders Stacy. Cathy's pivotal m o m e n t follows this attack. She calls Brad after school. "Hi," she says, "Cathy here. Megan has disappeared. She went to a cliff near Lake Superior because she is a scientific experiment and we have to find her!" In my stories, Cathy assumes a confidence and a degree of familiarity with the major players that I never managed in real life. T h o u g h my creativity earned me compliments and a few laughs, it wasn't enough to save me from fundamental uncoolness. In my head, I was the hero. In real life, I was still Ehcatsuom. I couldn't wait to see Megan at our eighth-grade reunion. I imagined we would laugh about the way we teased our chauvinistic teacher and the dirty

looks we got during funerals. T h e n I would ask her if she remembered "Ehcatsuom." Surely she would apologize, and I could get closure. I was also looking forward to seeing Becky. At last I could atone for my shameful behavior. But though Mark had heard from Megan, he couldn't find Becky. I did a Yahoo search for her and found 232 hits. I checked every one of them, eventually finding her through the alumni office at Eastern Michigan University. Luckily she still lives in the area, and she e-mailed to say she'd come. I had hoped to see Christian, Brian and John Fasse, too. But Christian's in jail — drugs, assault, etc. He's not eligible to attend a reunion until 2011. As for Brian, the boy genius, no one knows where he fled after suffering at the hands of our evil-minded mob. Some say he moved to California. Mark paid $40 for an Internet search that turned up a useless address in Kansas. Brian is still out there. John Fasse, too.

Our reunion took place in a small, private room at Gilbert's Lodge, a restaurant sandwiched between strip malls in St. Clair Shores. As I walked into the room, Mark, Megan, Becky and several

nisce. But no one mentioned the mean things we'd done. As we sat down to dinner, I remembered my mission. I was at a table with seven other people, including Becky and her husband. An apology seemed awkward and out of place, but eventually I managed to steer the conversation towards my guilt about being so heartless as a child. "I did awful things to Brian and Christian and to you, Becky," I said. "I'm so sorry." Becky stared at me. Did she nod her head? Did she forgive me? Just then a group at another table started belting out church songs, drowning out our conversation. W h e n it resumed, the m o m e n t for forgiveness had passed. I let it go. Someone did eventually apologize to me, though it wasn't Megan. O u r eighth-grade trip to the amusement park came up, and I asked my old friend Nicole Gadzinski if she remembered the bus ride there. "You promised you'd sit with me," I reminded her, "and then you sat with Stacy instead. I had to ride all the way there next to Stacy's mom." Nicole had forgotten all about this tiny treachery. "I did that?" she asked, taken aback. "Gosh, I'm sorry."

other former classmates looked up and shouted my name. I forgot all about closure. T h e men and women who greeted me bore remarkable similarity to the capricious friends and fiends I'd known 13 years earlier. Many of them had the same haircuts and wore the same classic Gap clothes. I would have recognized them anywhere. But the plague of puberty had lifted. We smiled and hugged each other. I hadn't realized it until I was there among them: I missed these people. I was surrounded by 26- and 27-year-old men and women who were genuinely happy to see me. And I was happy to see them. At least for the next few hours. This overwhelming sight rendered my months of preparation useless. "I can't believe it. This is so weird," I said, as I wandered wide-eyed from face to grown-up face. W h e n I got to Becky, I had already blown a fuse and was flying on cocktail-party autopilot. "What are you doing now?" was the only question that came to mind. At one point, desperate to reach out to her and break through my mental paralysis, I clapped her on the shoulder like an old army buddy. But all I could manage to say was, "I can't believe it's really you." So much for my grand apology. By the time I'd recovered from the shock, the night was half over. I had met spouses, looked at baby pictures and told everyone I'm gay. Once we got caught up on the essentials, we started to remi-

somehow her act of contrition made me feel foolish rather than vindicated. Is it really closure if the offending party doesn't remember the offense? Maybe, I thought, I do have closure — because Nicole is happy to see me and wants to know what my life is like now. Maybe closure isn't about revisiting my checklist of abuses. W h e n Megan finally drifted to my table, I couldn't bring myself to mention Ehcatsuom. We told a few stories, had a few laughs. She looked at my civil-union pictures and told me all about her rccent wedding. I realized that, like it or not, closure for me might mean that the past remains past. I let myself move on. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the reunion. Everyone seemed happy, healthy and welladjusted. Except for maybe Dana Maleski, who got wasted and kept threatening to kick John Fasse's gay ass, if she ever finds him. After Melissa Brelinski worked her way out of a conversation with Dana, she turned to me and whispered, "Some people never change." But most of us had changed. We'd grown up. W h e n I asked Stacy if she had any regrets about how she'd acted in grade school, she said no. Stacy is the only one from our class who came to my civil union two summers ago. "I don't feel bad about anything I did then," she told me. "I mean, whatever. We were, like, 12." I know she's right. But I still wish I could apologize to Brian. ®

The New York Times Book Review calls him a "tough-bird author." T h e New Yorker plays up his "well-tuned orneriness." Even friends warn that Hayden Carruth can be hard to approach. "Depending on his humor," suggests Burlington poet Greg Delanty, "he can be a bit cantankerous."

To compensate, the former Vermonter is being honored next week with four readings around the state, one of which comes with a check and a gubernatorial proclamation. Carruth doesn't usually go for these things. H e literally pissed on a consolation-prize medal he received for almost winning a National Book Award in 1992

Coming home with the last load I ride standing on the wagon tongue, behind the tractor in hot exhaust, lank with sweat my arms strung awkwardly along the hayrack, cruciform. Almost 500 bales we've put up this afternoon, Marshall and I. And of course I think of another who hung like this on another cross. My hands are torn by baling twine, not nails, and my side is pierced by my ulcer, not a lance. The acid in my throat is only hayseed. Yet exhaustion and the way my body hangs from twisted shoulders, suspended on two points of pain in the rising monoxide, recall that greater suffering. Well, I change grip and the image fades. It's been an unlucky summer. Heavy rains brought on the grass tremendously, a monster crop, but wet, always wet. Haying was long delayed. Now is our last chance to bring in the winter's feed, and Marshall needs help. We mow, rake, bale, and draw the bales to the barn, these late, half-green, improperly cured bales; some weigh 150 pounds or more, yet must be lugged by the twine across the field, tossed on the load, and then at the barn unloaded on the conveyor and distributed in the loft. I help — I, the desk-servant, word-worker — and hold up my end pretty well, too; but God, the close of day, how I fall down then. My hands are sore, they flinch when I light my pipe. I think of those who have done slave labor, less able and less prepared than I. Rose Marie in the rye fields of Saxony, her father in the camps of Moldavia and the Crimea, all clerks and housekeepers herded to the gaunt fields of torture. Hands too bloodied cannot bear

This warmish night of the thaw in January a beech chunk smoldering in my Herald No. 22A box stove suddenly takes fire and burns hot, or rather I suddenly who was reading the sweet and bitter poems of Paul Goodman dead last summer am aware how my shed becomes a furnace, and taking my shovel I ladle a great mush of snow into the stove's mouth to quieten it and then step quickly outside again to watch the plume of steam rise from my stovepipe straightly and vanish into the mist.

This wine is really awful I've been drinking for a year now, my retirement, Rossi Chablis in a jug from Oneida Liquors; plonk, the best I can afford, awful. But at least I can afford it, I don't need to go out and beg on the street like the guys on South Warren in Syracuse, eyes burning in their sockets like acid. And my sweetheart rubs my back when I'm knotted in arthritis and swollen muscles. The five stages of death are fear, anger, resentment, renunciation, and —? Apparently the book doesn't say what the fifth stage is. And neither does the wine. It is happiness? That's what I think anyway, and I know I've been through fear and anger and resentment and at least part way through renunciation, too, maybe almost the whole way. A slow procedure, like calling the Medicare office, on hold for hours and then the recorded voice says, "Hang up and dial again." Yet the days hasten, they go by fast enough. They fucking fly like the wind. Oh, Sweetheart, Mrs. Manitou of the Stockbridge Valley, my Red Head, my Absecon Lakshmi of the Marshlights, my beautiful, beautiful Baby Doll, let the dying be long.

a combination of Rip Torn, Rip Van Winkle and God. The old man is positively animated — even cheerful — despite the tangle of tubes that connect him to an oxygen tank. Back from the hospital and, more recently, from the grocery store, 52-yearold McLaughlin flits about the kitchen in a funky black sport coat, skirt and tights. A published poet and former model, she gives her ailing husband alternative doses of shit and love. She is a high-spirited muse with a mission: "We gotta keep this guy alive," Mclaughlin suggests, mussing up her husbands long white hair in a sort of noogie-massage. Over steaming cups of tea, Carruth recalls his time in Vermont — and the many writers he's influenced here. Next week dozens of them will be reciting his

Carruth lived for 20 years in Johnson, and vast numbers of his poems are informed by the natural landscape, people and culture of the Green Mountain State. Though he now lives in New York, the biographical blurbs on his books faithfully describe him as a "longtime resident of Vermont." Local literati, too, consider him a Vermont poet in exile. Carruth left the state in 1979 to take a well-paying job at Syracuse University because no academic institution in Vermont would hire him. "He has written about life in the state more searchingly, more deeply and more faithfully to the spirit of the old-timers than anybody has," Kinnell suggests. But Carruth's poems reflect a different era from the one in which Frost was writing. The Bread Loaf bard found the world of the Yankee farmer in northern Vermont

sonnets, haikus, georgics and persona poems in readings that have been organized by a coalition of local writers, including Voigt, Kinnell, Reeve Lindbergh and David Budbill. The list of participants also includes Delanty, Grace Paley, David Huddle, Julia Alvarez, John Engels, Jody Gladding, Martha Zweig, Ellen Lovell, Leland Kinsey and Madeleine Kunin. While he is definitely anxious about the trip, and grumbles that "it's 10 years too late to do any good," Carruth does concede, curmudgeon-like, "It's nice." That's high praise from the anti-establishmentarian who for years was so agoraphobic he couldn't face an audience of any size. "Hayden hates crowds. He hates public things. And he is notorious for flinging prizes back in the prize-givers' face," Voigt explains. "But this he recognizes as nothing but pure affection. To have 32 poets in Vermont who love you and want to read your work and celebrate you, that's rare."

"implicit with miracles," as Kinnell puts it. "Hayden is writing about the farmers who have already been defeated in a way... just the ordinary, painful life of cow-shit farmers." "Frost was ultimately writing a philosophical poem in which Vermont appears," Voigt explains. "Carruth wrote a very different kind of poem about Vermont, and Vermonters. He wrote about the real people up there, and captured their voices... without any condescension or romanticizing. It's very candid. Very open-eyed." In many ways, Carruth also has proved to have more staying power than Frost. Despite many afflictions over the years, including depression, emphysema and a recent heart attack, Carruth has never stopped writing. "When Hayden was 50, he was saying, 'The old ticker is about to give out. That's my last poem,' recalls Wolcott poet David Budbill. That was 31 years and 45 books ago."

Budbill is only exaggerating a bit. Over the years, Carruth has published 23 collections of poetry, four books of criticism, two anthologies and a book-length imaginary dialogue with Camus, called After The Stranger. One of his best-selling books, Sitting In, is selected writings on jazz, blues and related topics. His 407page Collected Shorter Poems 1946-1991 accounts for less than one-Fifth of all the poems he's penned. Carruth added to his oeuvre last year with Doctor Jazz, poems built around a moving 16-page elegy for his daughter Martha, who died of cancer four years ago. The subject of aging Figures prominently in the volume "along with powerful poems on the hardships of contemporary rural life," writes the New Yorker. "Yet Carruth remains fun to read. He is as at home with the prison riots of Attica as he is with Odysseus or Jelly Roll Morton." The reviewer adds, "Perhaps this is why, at eighty, Carruth, unlike his great master Frost, keeps getting better."

Such displays of optimism are anathema to Carruth. His upbringing in Connecticut — in a family of writers, editors, journalists and book collectors — was shaped by a certain "Carruthian secular and neurotic puritanism" that may account for his work ethic and his madness. Years later, Carruth discovered his atheist father also suffered from a certain "nervousness." His mother was a strict Episcopalian. "Death was taboo in our house. So was sex," Carruth writes in Reluctantly. Perhaps to compensate for the white-washing, Carruth became a budding existentialist: "I had always been aware that the Universe is sad; everything in it, animate or inanimate, the wild creatures, the stones, the stars, was enveloped in the great sadness, pervaded by it. Existence had no use... I knew that the only rest

from my anxiety — for I had been trembling even in infancy — lay in acknowledging and absorbing this sadness." Happily, that predilection didn't rule out nursery rhymes. Asked in the past to identify his earliest literary influences, Carruth came up with Mother Goose and Shakespeare. His father taught him to read at 4 — a linguistic leg up that gave the young Hayden an academic advantage but isolated him socially at school. To fit in, he learned to play dumb. Later, he took up smoking. "Cigarette smoking was a way to cross the immense barrier between the Carruths and the rest of the world, which I wanted to do more than anything. I wanted to be "out there" with the others, away from solitude and fear. I never made it and never will." Until three years ago, when a heart attack forced him to quit smoking, Carruth typically went through two packs of cigarettes a day, five pipes and one or two cigars. He caused a stir in the hospital in Syracuse by lighting up a butt in intensive care. Writing, too, was a refuge. Carruth imitated Romantic poets all through high school and penned "what I thought were Shakespearean sonnets." He spent four years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying journalism and social science and working on the college newspaper. He says he was not a good reporter, but always liked the copy desk. His penchant for headline writing shows in poem titles like "'Sure,' Said Benny Goodman," "The Sociology of Toyotas and Jade Chrysanthemums" and "The Oldest Killed Lake in North America." Outside of "August 1945," Carruth didn't write too many poems about his experience during World War II. After college, he got married and joined the Army, which trained him as a cryptographer and dispatched him to Italy. But "we never had

any messages to encrypt," Carruth says, chuckling. He ended up in the Army public relations office, writing human-interest stories about American soldiers. After the war, Carruth went back to the books. This time, though, he wasn't studying Yeats. At the University of Chicago, Carruth was surrounded by contemporary American poetry. Avid encounters with the words of T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams and e.e. cummings inspired him to get serious about his own poetry. Pretty soon he was submitting to Poetry magazine. Within a year, he was editing it. As his literary star was rising, though, Carruth was falling ill. He suffered from stage fright so extreme he literally .fled from the first public reading of his work. What was later diagnosed as agoraphobia — which Carruth describes as "generalized fear of people" — forced him to drop out of publishing circles. His marriage fell apart, and he spent the next decade as an invalid. When he wasn't in the "loony bin," which he also calls "the hatch" and "the asylum," he lived in reclusion with his parents. He wouldn't read his poetry in public again until he was 57.

"Necessity" steered Carruth north, at age 40, with his third wife. Apparently, mental illness didn't lessen his sex appeal. Even with Joe-Anne listening in, Carruth is happy to talk about his love life. "I was always astonished how I got chased by women," he notes mischievously, adding that Thorazine never killed his libido. He has written great erotic poems about many of his lovers, including East German-born Rose Marie, who still lives in Johnson. Carruth acknowledges that women, sex and love have helped him cope with his psychosis. In Reluctantly he recalls, "I was well enough to shift from reclusion to seclusion, but I still could not do what literary people normally do with their lives... wo'tl:irt offices of classrooms, live in a city, use public trarfsportation, go to the theaters, literary parties, etc... That's why I found myself in the backcountry of northern Vermont with a young wife." The couple was living on an impossibly tight budget, but they found a five-room house on 11 acres in Johnson for $5800. Carruth worked all day doing manual farm labor and "editorial hackwork" as a freelance ghostwriter and book critic. He befriended many of the writers who will toast him next week, as well as old-timers who knew nothing of the literary life. He traded farm chores for fresh milk with neighbor Marshall Washer. For years, the farmer came over for dinner every night. "For long periods I forgot I was a poet," Carruth writes in Reluctantly. But in the middle of the night, he was crafting some of his greatest verse. "A life of hardship was the luckiest thing that could have happened to me in my middle age," he continues. Living in Vermont "was an opportunity to put everything together, the land and seasons, the people, my family, my work, my evolving sense of survival... in one tightly integrated imaginative structure. The results were my poems." And like the grounded life that gave rise to them, they were wholly organic. Carruth had always been drawn to nature — he read John Burroughs and Ernest Thompson Seton as a child. Now he was living in it, shoveling it on a daily basis. His poems from the time are full of loons, woodsmoke and "Cows at Night." One entire book of poems is devoted to birds. Carruth rejects the "nature poet" label, though, because it suggests a too-sunny view of creation. He told an audience in 1993, "Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. I love it, I love to live in it, I love to be a part of it... But at the same time, nature contains... our death. It is not simply a benign presence in our lives." Full of decay, his vision reflects a life-long preoccupation with mortality.

It also embraces human nature. In his poems, Carruth celebrates the hay-bloodied hands of farmers, politics and a whole range of human emotion. "He is able to rant and rave — to express anger, sorrow and despair," David Huddle observes. "You get a sense of what a human being is all about." In a long poem named for Washer, Carruth details the Sisyphean toils of his dairy-farming neighbor — "alone now, his farm the last on Clay Hill, where I myself remember ten." Around this same time he also began using his amazing ear for language to write narrative "persona poems" in the voices of different backcountry characters based on people he knew. "First off, I have to say I can't talk good" is the first line of "Marvin McCabe," in which the narrator describes the automobile accident that left him speech-impaired. "Have you ever wondered how it would be to have your thought that's clear and shiny inside your head come out like a mouthful of mud?" The man speaks for every disabled person when he says, "I knew the words but couldn't say them — do you see what that means? No one knew who I was." A lot of the Vermont poems are funny, too. In "Green Mountain Idyl," Carruth imagines the pick-up lines of a horny yahoo "taken to you like my silky hen my bluetick bitch my sooey sow." "Regarding Chainsaws" is written in a heavy Vermont brogue. But it's

not Vermont Life. "Old Stan," who suffered from diabetes, ends up legless "setting in his old chair with a tank of oxygen to sip at whenever he felt himself sinking." It's safe to say Carruth "found his voice" in Vermont, although he doesn't much like the expression. "At some point, I just said, 'To hell with it, I'll write what I want to write and just see what happens,'" he explains, taking another sip of tea. "I'm not going to be shy. I'm going to be honest and open and absolutely forthright in my poetry and myself. If they want to shoot me, let them shoot me."

Instead, "they" gathered round. Carruth has been a friend and senior literary critic for a whole generation of Vermont poets. For Budbill and Hewitt, he was also a neighbor. Budbill lived 20 miles away in Wolcott, and "I was writing very delicate, haiku-style poetry — very formal stuff. When Hayden got to know me he said, 'How come you sound so different from your poems?' I gnashed my teeth about that for a few years," says the author of Judevine. "He was not trying to make little Haydens. He encouraged people to be who they are." Huddle had a similar experience. "In some part, he gave me the courage to be more revealing of myself, to be unafraid of how I presented myself in the work, because he was.

of his labor to others." This week, Carruth will have exactly the opposite experience. Others will be giving his own work back to him. As if planning a literary potluck, organizers asked writers what they'd like to read, and they wrote back with their choices. Other than "The Cows at Night" and "Emergency Haying," there was very little duplication. Budbill, who shares a love of jazz with Carruth, is reading three poems about music. Huddle chose two sonnets and a poem about Raymond Carver, who was a colleague of Carruth's at Syracuse. Jody Gladding will recite Carruth's most famous political poem, " O n Being Asked to Write a Poem Against the War in Vietnam."

I think he is able to be more nakedly h u m a n than any poet I know." Carruth's proteges agree he was a natural teacher, even if he never faced a classroom until his first job in academia, at 60. In fact, they were instrumental in coaxing him out of his writing cabin and back into the public eye. After a breakthrough private reading in Carruth's living room, Budbill arranged a public appearance in Chelsea that helped ease the older poet's agoraphobia. "We had a little c o m m u nity of writers and friends that I had not known before and haven't known since. It was centered around Hayden." Despite his own wealth of knowledge, which extended from classical literature to the Chinese poets, Carruth was "able to express and communicate that without making you feel inferior," observes Hewitt, who now lives in Calais. T h e same thing could be said of his poems, which are at once erudite and accessible. Not too many poets would think of writing a sonnet describing the effects of a hypertrophied prostate.

T h e lineup is a testament to the head-spinning breadth of his work. But it would take 10 times as many readings to get a sense of its volume. Sitting in his kitchen, Carruth searches his memory for a poem he wrote in the mental hospital involving a recalcitrant patient, Mr. Barnes, who refused to go to the bathroom on command. W h e n I supply him with a copy of his Collected Shorter Poems, he seems cheered to learn that I paid money for the book. (Carruth was virtually out of print when nonprofit Copper Canyon Press started publishing him 12 years ago.)

Less time with the wannabes was devoted to the discussion of literature, though, than to putting up woodpiles and comparing chickens. Carruth was already an experienced back-to-the-lander when young bards Budbill and Hewitt joined him in the northern woods. Hewitt bought land in Enosburg six hours after he first met Carruth. "There were at least two dozen of us in the rough-and-ready crowd who had similar support from Hayden," says Hewitt, praising Carruth's winning combination of encouragment and honesty. Carruth corresponded with scores of aspiring writers, including one on death row. Budbill got three to four missives a week. "He still writes remarkable letters," says Hewitt, "with that incredible spirit and joy and grouchiness all rolled into one."

But the poet strikes out scanning the seven-page table of contents for Mr. Barnes. McLaughlin is no help, either. She's known Carruth since 1979 — long enough to supply missing names and dates when his memory fails. Not this time, though. Although he's visibly distracted by the lapse, Carruth is also willing to let it go. "I frequently lose a poem," he says, resigned. N o doubt it will come back to him when Galway Kinnell reads the missing verse — from "The Bloomingdale Papers" — on Tuesday at the State House in Montpelier. Carruth has always said that poverty is the only thing that prevents him from moving back to Vermont. But if the cash prize comes up short, perhaps hearing Kinnell, as Mr. Barnes, intoning "I shant shit" in the hallowed chamber will be reward enough. Q)

But Carruth was there in other ways, too — like the time Hewitt got his tractor stuck in the woods and couldn't start it up again.

A favorite spot for skiers and 'boarders t o party down after a day on the slopes, the Pickle Barrel has kept Killington rocking for 30 years. Two bars, a large dance floor and a wood-paneled interior set a casual tone for some serious fun. The crowd usually comprises young visitors t o the local mountains looking t o stay up a l i t t l e later. Modern-rock radio entertains the crowd during the week. Live rock bands spice up the weekends. Though a few musical dates through the summer keep the locals happy, the Pickle Barrel really gets rolling when the snow flies.

reviewth i KAREN GRENIER, BRING ON THE SUN (self-released, CD) Offering a l i t t l e bit of everything, Karen Grenier's Bring on the Sun surpasses the conventional folk album. Recalling the bittersweet, harmony-rich pop of the Indigo Girls, Grenier's songs are passionate w i t h o u t falling i n t o overly emotive singer-songwriter cliches. Grenier has an uncanny ear for a hook, and her songs have an impressive spark. "Where You Are" and "When I Say I Love You" begin w i t h innocent riffs and high harmonies before building into driving folk-rock. "Am I Strong Enough" and "Love Will Come" are moody and reflective, yet still charged by the shimmering clarity of her voice. Throughout the album — even on the not-entirely-cheesy 9 / 1 1 tribute "Rise Up" — Grenier proves t o be a powerful performer capable of penning catchy, light-hearted pop. Karen Grenier performs an early show this Saturday at 135 Pearl. — ETHAN COVEY

ADAM ROSENBERG, PILGRIMAGE

TOM BANJO, ONE MEATBALL

(self-released, CD)

Adam Rosenberg is a local singer-songwriter with a distinctly classic pop 'tude. Notorious for handing out song lists at gigs and allowing audience members t o choose among hundreds of covers, Rosenberg goes i t alone on Pilgrimage. Simply recorded, w i t h j u s t vocals and either guitar or piano, the songs have a timeless feel. "A Smile From You" sounds like crooner-pop salvaged off a dusty 45. "Content t o Dream" has a theatrical quality, a piece from an unwritten Broadway production. Rosenberg convincingly writes songs about everything from war ("The Road t o Tennessee") t o redemption ("The Gates of Heaven's Hold"), and has made a record t h a t sounds not entirely of this time. This Friday, he w i l l play tracks from the new album — and some of those covers — during an early show at Valencia. — ETHAN COVEY

CLASS CLOWN, BAD MEATLOAF

Some other highlights include "Streets of Laredo," "Cole Younger" and "Man of Constant Sorrow." Banjo's voice is twangy and easy t o listen t o , especially i f you've been wooed by the " 0 Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack. A l l revivalism aside, t h o u g h , Banjo's been playing these songs for years; he earned his current moniker during the early '60s folk revival and was namedropped by David Grisman and Jerry Garcia i n "Mountains of t h e Moon" on Aoxomoxoa. While t h a t factoid may get you t o check out this record, t h e music here w i l l inspire repeated listens. It's really a toe-tapper, at times even rousing. Besides being a strong collection of tunes, i t keeps a tradition alive, passing on familiar and near-forgotten songs for generations t o come.

(self-released, CD) Bad Meatloaf is Class Clown's t h i r d CD release i n about a year, and on this they're a tighter band w i t h slightly more complex song structures, bett e r s i n 9 ' n 9 a n c * s o n 9 s ' a n d much-improved drums and guitars. A lot can happen for a band i n a year, and it's nice t o see the progression from snott y angst t o social alienation and romantic longing. There's a moment i n "Candyland" where the singer goes for the higher descending melody line. I t works so well t h a t i t feels like a breakthrough for Class Clown. " F i t t i n g I n " is a ska-flavored outcast lament i n a more serious realm: " F i t t i n g in's so h a r d / I wish I had a bodyguard for all the times they beat me down." This is the best Class Clown release so far. Anyone who's been in a high school band w i l l probably love this disc — pop punk from young hearts for the young at heart. Catch Class Clown live this Friday at 242 Main, w i t h Perfect Salesman and The Front Line. -r,. 5 f X^ X M T a 1l

I f you've lived i n Burlington for any length of time, chances are you've seen Tom Banjo play. Often spotted on Church Street, Banjo, a.k.a. Tom Azarian, plays t h e t i t u l a r instrument and is sometimes accompanied by a homemade "movie" scrolling between t w o large dowels. Finally, on his new CD One Meatball, Tom Banjo gives us something t o listen t o i n t h e comfort of home. This 14-song disc is an enjoyable collection of old-timey folk songs and originals w i t h a relaxed and warm feel. No so much campfire as back porch, One Meatball captures the sound of a man playing the songs he loves the way he learned 'em. The amusing t i t l e track is a song from the Depression era recounting the sorry tale of a poor man who only has enough money t o buy one meatball for dinner. It's a funny story but also captures the mood of t h a t time. Every so often Banjo uses an unnecessary effect on the vocals, but it's fun and doesn't detract t o o much from the purity of the songs.

Some of the stories are quite good, especially "Cole Younger," a true account of t h e Younger and James Gang. Hoedowns, cowboy laments and Irish and Appalachian folks songs mingle and thrive on this record. Extra thumbs-up t o t h e liner notes, which provide background information on some of the song origins, allowing the listener t o place these tales i n context. Simple b u t high-quality picking and strumming, m i n i m a l accompaniment and tons of heart. Banjo fans, rejoice! Highly recommended. — COLIN CLARY

TALKS/ EVENTS

Natural Instincts

EXHIBIT Petria Mitchell, new paintings. Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington. Through November. ARTWORK "Early Fall in t h e Valley," by Petria Mitchell

escribing Petria Mitchell as a landscape painter does not tell the whole story. A thorough appreciation for abstraction lies at the heart of each painting in the West Brattleboro artist's current exhibit at the DollAnstadt Gallery. Mitchell understands that a dramatic portrayal of the landscape springs from a dramatic use of paint, and that landscape paintings are not about an artists perception of atmospheric phenomena or the details of the natural world. Mitchell's works are about the poetry of paint, rather than the poetry of nature. Filled with the fire of sunset — or perhaps sunrise — "An Island in South Pond" is a large-scale canvas that seems like a traditional rendering of water, hills and a nearly Baroque pile of warm-colored clouds. Mitchell's fan brush has nimbly calmed the waters of the pond, and the evaporating mist of sfumato gently softens a distant ridgeline. But on closer inspection, this painting is far from "traditional." Mitchell has executed the scene almost entirely without glazes; the glowing light comes from closely tuned gradations of saffron, apricot and henna. The piece is almost monochromatic, but with extreme distances between values. The darkest areas are on the island and in the trees at far right. The lightest values are along the upper edge. "Ames Hill Cinnamon Ferns" is another monochromatic work, but it has a totally different approach to value. Mitchell places a few black tree trunks amidst her moist forest of green ferns and ever-present mist. The two widest trunks are offcenter, placing the vertical axis in the right half of the piece. Thin, dark saplings emphasize the rightward movement with steeply leaning lines. Such details as saplings and branches are almost slashed

onto the surface, rather than painted with care, but Mitchell's placement of such features is perfect. The monochromatic works are exceptions in this show. Most of Mitchell's paintings are based on simple chromatic dualities that reflect the local color of a given place. "Hill in a Memory" is a little more complex, with a layer of intense orange over the yellow-green of the hillside. The space of the piece is also shallower than most of the other works, enclosed by dark trees on the crest of the hill. Another harmony of three colors exists in the sky painting "Crimson Hemlocks." The clouds are actually the crimson of the title, the hemlocks are a dark green-blue, and pale yellow clouds provide a counterpoint to the crimson. "Hill of Clouds" is more typical. Mitchell employs gray mists and diffused light, such as are often associated with the later works of J.M.W. Turner (17751851), in the majority of her paintings here. However, she has effectively modernized the approach. The atmospheric mist in "Hill of Clouds" has strong horizontal strokes abutting verticals in a manner that would defy nature, and Mitchell often uses such fat brushwork in relatively compact spaces. Her broader brushwork, scratched lines and approach to layering color are more infused with the spirit of Rothko than with the legacy ofTurner. "Sloping Hill and 102 Trees" employs an identical array of hues and the composition is nearly reversed, as in a mirror image, but pushed a little upward. Mitchells steep hillsides and diffused light suggest that these are Vermont landscapes, but she cannot be considered a typical Vermont landscape painter. Although her aesthetic is conservative, it is sophisticated rather than reactionary. Mitchell's a much better technician than most landscapists, and she has a completely modern bag of tricks. The plasticity of paint is more important to her than the physics of light. (Z)

RECYCUSTS Wilson and Murphy steer clear of original ideas and unfamiliar story elements in the latest from Betty Thomas.

or better or worse, Betty Thomas has become the queen of screen adaptation. She's made old movies (Dr. Dolittle) into new movies. She's made old TV shows into movies (The Brady Bunch Movie). She's even brought Howard Sterns radio show to the big screen (Private Parts). Those were some of the director's better efforts. Where Thomas' update of "I Spy" is concerned, it's hard to imagine things having turned out much worse. In the first place, this splashy, vapid update hasn't a single thing more to do with the '60s television series than, say, Lethal Weapon did. White guy. Black guy. Bad guys. Guns, cars and wisecracks. You could have called this anything in the world and the only difference it would've made is to deny its producers the box-office benefits of name recognition. O n top of that, Thomas demonstrates zero feel for either the material or milieu. Is this supposed to be a spoof of espionage films or a straightahead action comedy? The director never settles on a tone. As a result, her movie jumps and jerks between genres like the work of an unsure first-timer. Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson report for duty as the picture's mandatory mismatched buddies. Wilson is an agent with the "Bureau of National Security." Murphy's a

motormouth megalomaniac, a heavyweight boxing champ obsessed with the notion of being thrown a huge parade in his honor. The U.S. government recruits the pugilist for a secret mission when an Eastern European arms dealer — Are you sitting down? He's played by Malcolm McDowell! — makes off with the prototype for the Air Force's latest breakthrough: a stealth bomber so stealthy it's literally invisible. McDowell is about to sell the jet to the highest bidder in the course of a party he's throwing at his castle. As fate — and cretinous screenwriting — would have it, Murphy's about to defend his title at a Budapest venue just down the street. The arms dealer is a massive boxing fan. The BNS brass figure that Wilson can recover the aircraft if he can get near enough to it — and Murphy is his ticket into the baddies-only bash. Are we nodding off yet? Buddy-film formula dictates that the two guys get off on the wrong foot with one another. If there's an area in which this picture succeeds, it's in maintaining a complete absence of surprise. In predictable, paint-bynumber fashion, Murphy thumps his chest and refuses to take orders. Wilson gradually earns his respect with the aid of an array of spy gadgets

and gizmos the fighter finds cool. One minute the two are hopelessly incompatible. The next, they're the best of buds and watching each other's back — an activity that is surely twice as entertaining as watching their film. Spoof or tongue-in-cheek update, the movie squanders the lion's share of its time on tired, cartoon-quality sequences choreographed around hohum chases and explosions. None possess the satiric zip of Austin Powersstyle parody. It seems fair to conclude the picture is intended to play as a standard action laugher. If so, even that routine mission proves too much for creators, crew and cast. To be fair, Murphy and Wilson are accomplished wits — Wilson cowrote both Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. The throwaway banter and improvised dialogue between the actors are easily the best things about I Spy. The script readings and rehearsals were likely a lot more fun than the finished movie. Which means there's a chance the DVD B-roll may be worth a look down the line. In the meantime, Thomas' latest doesn't merit much attention. There may have been a point to throwing together so forgettable a motion picture, but if there was, its at least as hard to see as an invisible airplane. (7)

Bad Rap? ey, Hollywood: I don't want Eminem, the Movie. Give me Enron, the Movie. Marshall Mathers makes his acting debut in the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile, opening nationwide this weekend. But even if the big-budget picture turns out to be a masterpiece, the arguably homophobic and misogynist white rapper — risen up from childhood poverty in Detroit — ain't no Tiny Tim for the holidays. The film seems like a less-thancourageous choice for Curtis Hanson, who also directed the wonderful L.A. Confidential. For one thing, Eminem's massive youth following virtually guarantees his rags-to-riches venture will receive instant blockbuster status. The cover story about him in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine no doubt spread the word to an older audience. But while such rock stars revel in their wealth, the entire world is a tinderbox of potentially explosive problems. Why not tackle significant issues? How about satirizing greedy Scrooges like Ken Lay of Enron or John Rigas of Adelphia Cable? Three November premieres that may or may not show up in Vermont before 2003 do offer more topical bang for the buck: Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Quiet American, both the work of Philip Noyce, are set in 1930s Australia and 1950s Vietnam, respectively. Far From Heaven, by Todd Haynes, also targets the Fabulous '50s, though in a middle-class Connecticut suburb. Rabbit-Proof c\won\c\es the true story of three "half-caste" girls who are forcibly removed from their single Aboriginal mothers and placed in a government-run settlement. Kenneth Branagh plays the official in charge of this racist policy, which is essentially aimed at whitening the population. He's frequently outwitted when the resourceful children escape from detention and then travel 1500 miles on foot in an effort to reach home. Noyce presents a more tangled tale in The Quiet American, a somewhat flawed adaptation of Graham Greene's brilliant novel. Michael Caine is not enigmatic enough as aging British journalist Thomas Fowler, whose opium-fueled lifestyle with a lovely Saigon mistress is threatened by the arrival of an idealistic U.S. diplomat (Brendan Fraser). The new guy's got a hidden agenda that presages the devastating war this country waged for two decades in Southeast Asia. It's a particularly timely historical overview as President Bush considers meddling with Iraq. Social concerns are at the core of Far From Heaven, a gorgeous-looking tribute

to such melodramas of yesteryear as Imitation of Life and All That Heaven Allows. The eagerly anticipated Todd Haynes production garnered some reallife controversy at the Toronto International Film Festival in September when Roger Ebert and dozens of other critics were unable to get into a packed press screening, for which savvy cinephiles had begun lining up an hour earlier. In a thumbs-down mood, the unquiet American from Chicago threw what many witnesses described as "a hissy fit," insisting that he's entitled to special treatment. This prompted a Montreal reporter to shout: "Why don't you go . back where you came from?" Sans Monsieur Ebert, the film unspooled without incident. Despite the dazzling costumes, sets, cinematography and performance by Julianne Moore, Heaven was weighed down by a mishmash of acting techniques applied to a saga that's never quite believable. Moore portrays an ostensibly happy housewife whose successful businessmanhusband (Dennis Quaid) has the kind of dark secret that is no longer as shocking as it would have been in the mid-20th century Crossing the era's insurmountable racial divide, she turns for comfort to her understanding black gardener (Dennis Haysbert, from TV's "24"). The proceedings become a bit too improbable, even for a tearjerker, but the intentions are admirably noble. But enough with the political correctness. The best of the lot hopefully coming our way soon is Femme Fatale, Brian De Palma's most accomplished thriller in years. Rebecca Romjin-Stamos and .Antonio Banderas exhibit terrific chemistry as a devilishly clever con artist and the honest paparazzi-like photographer caught in her web of deceit. The action moves between Paris and Cannes, recalling the Cary Grant classic To Catch a Thief De Palma, who loves those old Hitchcockian flourishes, delivers a sexy, suspenseful, swift-paced, witty confection with a conscience. Just in time for the spirit of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa, the message is remarkably redeeming. Femme Fatale opens this week in select major cities. This kind of limited release allows high-profile films to qualify for the Oscars while not competing with all the other new movies that theoretically saturate the hinterlands now. Since almost every movie distributor has the same end-of-year game plan, however, the hinterlands are anything but saturated during the season to be jolly, fa-la-lala-la, la-la-la-la. ®

GREEK REVIVAL

music

Greek is peak, thanks to the smash success of indie flick My Big Fat Greek Wedding — now in its umpteenth week of dancing circles around the big boys at the box office. But, as area Greek freaks know all too well, it's still slim pickins around here when i t comes to procuring cultural cuisine. Fortunately, the small but solid Greek community takes matters into its own more-thancapable hands twice a year, serving up precious pastries and genuine gyros. "It's a pretty involved process," says baker Marina Kaye, "but all the Greek ladies know what they're doing." Arrive early for Burlington's best baklava, lovingly made by a gaggle of gastronomic goddesses.

BY ROB BRE7.SNY NOVEMBER 7-13

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): In order to be true to yourself and get what you want in the coming week, you'll have to be more generous and imaginative than usual. Here are a few activities that could help: 1. Send a letter expressing your admiration to a person whose good works fascinate you. 2. Dream up 20 new names for God, using ice cream flavors and DJ names for inspiration. 3. Buy seven used gowns worn by famous actresses to the Academy Awards show and send them gratis to seven Guatemalan grandmothers. 4. Find someone who is impossible to love and love them defiantly. 5. Try on the perspective of the poet John Keats, who said: "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Hearts affections and the truth of Imagination."

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Every relationship has its own unique soul. The way youfittogether with another person — whether it's through romantic intimacy, friendship or collaborative work — should be allowed to find the idiosyncratic identity that best suits the special chemistry between you. It is therefore a sin to Compare any of your partnerships to some supposedly ideal model. Fortunately, you're in an astrological phase when you have a certain genius about togetherness. May I suggest that you devote the next few weeks to helping all of your important bonds find their deeper meaning?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Would you like me to award you the title of "Most Successful Complainer of the Month" for November? If so, you'll spend the next few days getting organized in your approach to changing what's wrong. You'll decide which five of the hundred irritating problems are most deserving of your

intelligent attention. You'll have a long talk with yourself in which you promise to express your criticisms in ways that will not make people defensive. And then you will formulate a step-by-step plan to carefully, gently, compassionately carry out a revolution.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): An unauthorized Harry Potter book is being sold in China. Penned by an anonymous author, it describes Harry morphing into a furry dwarf after a "sour-sweet rain." I've also been victimized: A fake version of my column is showing up in an Englishlanguage rag in Beijing. Whoever's writing it is totally cracked; it bears little resemblance to my work. A recent horoscope for us Cancerians, however, did contain a thread I think is right for our tribe. It advises us to capitalize on the actions of our adversaries; to benefit from those who have profited from us; to turn the tables on table-turners. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): As the Sun, Mercury and Venus turn the heat up in your astrological House of Pancakes, you have a mandate to curl up and feast on heaps of flapjacks, waffles, blintzes and crepes. Doughnuts and pastries are also acceptable. However you do it, Leo, you'll benefit from acquiring more ballast. Why? Because you've got to become less top-heavy and more difficult to push over. If you prefer not to accomplish this by adding girth to your gut and butt, find another way. Perhaps you could tie an anchor to your waist or think really deep thoughts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This week's counsel is extreme. Don't read another word, Virgo, unless you feel ready to carrying out a task that

will require you to be daringly rebellious and brazenly optimistic. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you're being asked to revise your attitudes, change your habits, alter your behavior, or do whatever else it may take to arrive at a radical new way of looking at your life: You must be able to sincerely believe that the cosmos or fate or God — whatever you want to call the Vastness — is on your side and wants you to succeed at the thing you enjoy most. Here's a big hint about one way to proceed, courtesy of author Paulo Cuelho: "Know what you want and all the universe conspires to help you achieve it."

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Welcome to "Retool Your Approach to Discipline Week," Libra. To assist you in jettisoning needlessly narrow ideas about how to cultivate self-control, I present the following epigrams. "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." — Vince Lombardi. "We are what we repeatedly do." — Aristotle. "Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted." — Robert Collier. "The greatest achievements and virtuoso performances of our lives are romanced, not beaten out of us." — Nick Williams. "If you can figure out how to make discipline really fun, it won't feel like discipline." — my accountant Wendy

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It will be a favorable week to change your hair color, bark poetry at your television, take a balloon ride over the south coast of France where the wild horses run, get expelled from Catholic school for spraying a nun with squirtable sour candy, retreat to a chicken coop and write

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): When Rodney Dangerfield got his first big career break, he was already 44 years old. He didn't discover his signature comedic riff — "I don't get no respect" — until he was in his fifties. Compared to him, Pisces, you're a precocious early bloomer. But I hate to offer him up as consolation to those of you who fear you're not fulfilling your ambitions fast enough. Comparing your own rate of growth to others' is a dastardly trap that you should vigorously avoid. Try on this thought: You are at the exact level of success where you need to be in order to carry out your life's unique mission. With that certainty as your ally, your ripening will paradoxically accelerate. (Z)

Jan. 19): The cardiologist had bad news and good news for my 72-yearold Capricorn acquaintance George. One of his coronary arteries is largely blocked, which might eventually necessitate bypass surgery. On the other hand, an angiogram revealed that his heart is in the process of trying to grow a brand new artery where none had been before. If it's successful, George won't need to depend on the old blocked artery anymore and can avoid the opera-

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There's no contradiction between expressing your most outrageous individuality and being in humble service to humanity. Far from opposing each other, these two tasks are synergistic. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that you can't really do either justice without the other. That's why I believe that one of your life's supreme triumphs will come when you've mastered the art of being both an idiosyncratic maverick and a reverent devotee of the greatest good. This is the time and this is the place, Aquarius, to make rapid progress towards that goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

AQUARIUS

22-Dec. 21): Imagine an alternative universe where the ancient Greek myths had different outcomes. The Bacchae women don't tear apart the god of ecstasy, but lift him on their shoulders, carry him into a sumptuous bedroom and pleasure him all night. Oedipus finds out in time that the woman he's set to marry is actually his mom, and calls a halt to the wedding. Pandora opens the mysterious box, but what flies out aren't anger, jealousy, illness and sadness, but joy, wonder, curiosity, receptivity and creativity. Once you get the hang of radically re-envisioning these old myths, Sagittarius, do the same with the modern one you're smack in the middle of.

tion. The cardiologist will check on the progress of this budding miracle in a few months. In the meantime, let's you and I, Capricorn, marvel at the resourcefulness and intelligence of the human body. Yours, too, is in the midst of an amazing transformation. It may not be as spectacular as George's, but it will allow you to experience your life on a deeper level than ever before.

your autobiography, climb a tree with a person whose relationship with you is in transition, teach animals to dance, wear cashmere pajamas, abduct an extraterrestrial, hurl the "Buns of Steel" video into a volcano, scrawl meaningful graffiti where it'll truly change somebody's mind, take care of a needy little creature and fantasize you're the child of divine parents who abandoned you when you were two days old, but who will soon be coming to reunite with you.

1 the love counselor Dear Readers, My oh my, but my mailbox has been brimming! Here's a letter I received in response to the reader who couldn't seem to acquire a taste for deep-sea diving: I thought your answer to the nonmuncher was good — and short as it should have been. I did have a couple of thoughts I wanted to share. If his idea of cunnilingus is "rooting around in her crotch like a pig in a trough," he may need some instruction, though he does not impress me as one who would take gentle hints. And if this woman is so "persistent and petulant," why would he want to be intimate with her in the first place? And here's one answering the woman who was freaked out by her married boyfriend's swinging ways: Tell her that if she wants to follow her "Rod's" advice and find her own on-the-side love interest, I'm available. Lola's not a matchmaker, buddy, but you're welcome to try our personals. Finally, since you're all such chatterboxes, here's another chance . to try your hand at love counseling.

Dear Lola, I am a single man in my thirties who has never had a lasting relationship. I get very nervous when I'm on a date. On the one hand, I'm afraid of being too aggressive and, on the other, I worry that I'm not showing enough interest in my dates. How often should I call a woman at the beginning of a relationship? When is the right time to give her a goodnight kiss? How quickly should I expect things to move after that? Please advise. — Muddled in Middlebury
