PRODUCTION

For the past year I have worked with international art photographer Gregory Crewdson as his production coordinator, casting director and model on a number of projects in the Rutland area. We are definitely "friends," but that evolved out of a successful working relationship. I was surprised and disappointed when Susan Green in her "Flick Chick" column [Nov. 20] referred to me only as the "source for the white house" that served as the retro setting for his recent project. (The Crewdson "Dream House" photographic essay appeared in the November 10th issue of the Sunday New York Times Magazine.) After busting my butt as Production Coordinator for three months to make sure everything was in place for Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman (and four other Hollywood actors) to appear on our set in Rudand, I would have appreciated a more accurate credit from Ms. Green in her column. The "Dream House" photo project was a major collaboration with a large group of dedicated artists. I am very proud of the part I played in helping to bring Crewdsons vision to fruition for

DIM HOPES FOR DEAN Gov. Dean's comments about folks not seeing Clinton, Carter or Kennedy as presidents is probably true. However, I doubt the former presidents were ever as nasty, smart-mouthed, meanspirited, arrogant or as indifferent to people as Dean. Kennedy came from wealth, as does Dean, with the difference being that with all Dean's wealthy connections, he can't seem to raise much money. I don't believe Gov. Dean can make it beyond a few national conferences. His grasp of issues is so shallow he uses college-educated words as gobbly-gook to describe America's troubled schools. How about Dean's la-la land comment? How about Dean's Budweiser consumer comments? How about his irrational attack on legislators? How about his Kathleen Harris insulting remarks? How presidential would Dean look stomping out of a

In his November 27 letter to the editor, Andrew Jones sings'Kis praises for the proposal to estab- ; lish instant runoff voting (IRV) to avoid the specter of the * Legislature voting to elect the governor and lieutenant governor if no candidate garners 50 percent of the popular vote. Obviously, instituting IRV would require an amendment to the Vermont Constitution, since it

news conference because he didn't like a reporter or question? Can you see him saying, "I don't have the answer to that question"? Vermont's press may enjoy being treated like idiots, but the national press wouldn't take Dean's tantrums so lightly. Dean's decade could easily have proven him to be a great leader. Unfortunately, he proved to be more beneficial to the Republican values that hurt individuals. Seems most of Dean's presidential campaign folks are from failed campaigns. Could it be those associated with the winners are looking for a winner? Dean finished last in a recent poll! Has the national press already gotten a glimpse of Dean's caustic tongue?

mandates the present setup. There's just one problem: T h e U.S. Constitution doesn't allow it. IRV would violate the "one person, one vote" requirement of the Twelfth Amendment. W h e n voting for candidates running for a single office (as opposed to candidates running for X number of legislative seats in your district, for example), you're allowed to vote for only one candidate for that single office.

T h e only runoff for governor and lieutenant governor that would pass muster under the Twelfth Amendment, therefore, is a separate runoff election between the two top vote-getters.

INSPIRING EXAMPLE I want to thank you for your profound and intense article on Ali Tepsurkaev's escape from the

horrors of his homeland [ " O u t of Chechnya," Nov. 13]. I was amazed by his overwhelming strength, courage and compassion even towards his torturers. It is appalling that a man of such integrity and innocence could be caught in the crossfire of a grotesque war. I am inspired by his ability to overcome the gruesome circumstances that he endured as well as the severe emotional toll of

his brother's death. I am devastated that such abuses still happen not only in Chechnya, but also in so many other places around the world. Ali, thank you so much for your inspiration, and I wish you the absolute best in Taekwondo, medical school and anything else that you aspire for. I hope that one day our generation will change the future of the world into one of peace and coexistence. Alexa Schmidt STARKSBORO

Michael Colby sure has squeezed a lot of mileage out of the topic of food irradiation ["Left Field, Nov. 20]. During a Food and Water membership drive (Colby's organization) some years ago, I was contacted and told that if I gave them 25 dollars or more they would help stop the irradiation industry before any products made it to the markets. Shortly thereafter, I received the Food and Water newsletter, the focus of which was a rationalization for a "change in focus" for the organization. T h e y were dropping the activism and going glossy.

SEASON'S GREETINGS Afraid of the unexplainably unexpected, primitive man believes mysterious occurrences result from supernatural phenomena. Li near time evolves and he manifests a master that becomes God and known bv six billion names. I his unifying ghost creates a morality play that encompasses millennia' trying to define the indeterminable. Showing the h u m a n stage has no small roles (only small actors), a virgin, incubating a child, and her escort are told by an innkeeper's wife that "yes, we do have a room for your lodging tonight." May every Seven Days reader enjoy a wonder winter solstice holiday where instant karma happens to all, good is universally distinguished from evil and villainous shadows are securely imprisoned.

Are We Safer Now Than W e Were on September 10, 2 0 0 1 he day was Monday and the setting was the board room at the Burlington School Department. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy was there to announce a Megabucks-size $5.6 million "Safe Schools" grant. The federal gift will fund 18 new positions as well as improve security in Burlington schools. Soon there will be cameras in the hallways and on school buses. Big Brother will be watching. Great. These days we just can't seem to get enough security. It's why you can't carry tweezers on an airplane. It's why President George W. Bush tore up our Bill of Rights and now claims the power to hold American citizens incommunicado without the right to an attorney. It's why the federal government can snoop through your e-mail or check the local lending library to find out what kind of subversive material you've been reading. George W. Bush already was a big brother when he moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. His little brother, as you know, was recently reelected governor of Florida. But since September 11, 2001, its become increasingly clear that Dubya takes the "big brother" stuff more seriously than anyone imagined. And Americans are just starting to wake up to the fact that the Big Brother of George Orwell's 1984 has finally arrived. Hey, better late than never, eh? Monday night, the Burlington City Council adopted a resolution calling for the repeal of the draconian parts of Big Brothers so-called Patriot Act. Quickly adopted after the twin towers fell, the Patriot Act has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism. In feet, it's an insult to all the true patriots who've fought to make America free. Recently, Congress passed a law establishing an enormous new bureaucracy called the Department of Homeland Security. Americans are safe now, right? On Monday we put the question to St. Patrick. "In your opinion, Senator, are the ordinary citizens of the United States safer today than they were on September 10, 2001?" "Safer in what way?" replied St. Patrick. "Safer from a terrorist slaughter of innocent civilians," we answered. Leahy paused for a full seven seconds. The tension in the room mounted. He thought about it, took a breath and answered firmly, "No!" Leahy said he's seen a great deal of "cosmetic" security measures, but little in the way of real security. He pointed to last week's attempt to shoot down an Israeli passenger plane as it took off from Mombassa. "If terrorists wanted to wreak enormous economic havoc" on this country, said Leahy, they could do so by using just two shoulder-fired missiles, one in

the eastern part of the country and one out West. It wouldn't even have to be at a major airport. "There wouldn't be a plane that would fly in this country," he said. Until the U.S. government gets "a stronger handle" on its Middle Eastern policy," said Leahy, "I think you're going to have more attempts to go after us." Meanwhile, he noted, the Bush administration has been gutting the Freedom of Information Act, to the delight of Attorney General John Ashcroft. And the FBI under Ashcroft, noted Leahy, completely ignored the terrorism threat and proposed cutting funding for anti-terrorism efforts right before September 11 s suicide attacks. In fact, on September 11, the FBI was focused on a major undercover investigation in New Orleans that involved 5000 wiretaps. As a result, the FBI uncovered two houses of prostitution. It made John Ashcroft swell with pride. "I would have felt more secure if they had been checking the shipping that comes into the port of New Orleans," said St. Patrick.

'ALI DAT A L L

The Whole Enchilada — Its all or nothing for Rep. John Tracy (DBurlington). The House minority leader's plans for 2003 changed dramatically on Election Night when Speaker Walter Freed's Republican train went off the rails. Tracy quickly declared his intention to challenge the Duke of Dorset for the podium and all the power that goes with it. The 150-member Vermont House that gets sworn in next month will be composed of 74 Republicans, 69 Democrats, four Progressives and three Independents. Winning the race for Speaker requires 76 votes. Tracy recently picked up the support of the four Progs. If he can hold his Democrats together, that would give him 73 votes to Freed's 74. Oh, to be an Independent, eh? The Independents are veteran Reps.

Jack Anderson of Woodstock, Daryl Pillsbury of Brattleboro and rookie Tom Pelham of Calais, former commissioner of finance for Howard Dean. Seven Days has learned that the trio is planning to get together next week to privately talk things over. The meeting will be held at an undisclosed location. "I've made commitments to no one," said Rep. Anderson, who served as a Democrat in the last session but ran this time as an Independent. Anderson, who teaches Civil War history at UVM and Norwich, told Seven Days he has been contacted by both Freed and Tracy. Ditto for Rep. Pillsbury. He hasn't made up his mind yet, either. But he is excited about the coming two years. "The next two years are going to be fun," said Pillsbury. "We're going to matter now. With the four Progressives, we INSIDE TRACK »

Curses, Foiled Again

Chicago ; transit police easily nabbed two men who tried to burglarize a minivan in a railroad commuter parking lot because an undercover surveillance officer was inside the van. When the suspects opened the vans sliding side door, Officer Jessie Watts Jr., who had been assigned to watch the lot because of previous break-ins, jumped out with his gun drawn and apprehended Robinson Morales, 25, and Fiore Petrassi, 20.

As soon as his feet touched the ice, he slipped and landed hard on his back, knocking himself unconscious. "Its a shame," Calgary's Bob Boughner said after the man was carried off on a stretcher. "It's never a girl." Three weeks later, the would-be streaker, Tim Hurlbut, 21, explained that he had accepted two strangers' offer of $200 because he needed money to buy textbooks.

County Jail, driving a newspaper editor to Sioux City against her will and taking $84 from her, but he claimed he was "a victim of circumstances." Flowers insisted that his escape was justified because he was assaulted in jail and because of a $500,000 extortion threat. "I had to escape to protect myself and find the person who tried to extort a half-million dollars and forced me to rob banks," he told a court in Sioux Falls.

Lost FOCUS Police in Knoxville, Tennessee, reported that a man walked into a bank, placed a small box in front of a teller and said the box was full of explosives, which he would detonate if he didn't get money. He handed the teller a threatening note and began checking his pockets, then suddenly ran out of the bank before the teller had time to hand over any cash.

Easy Targets Pedestrians 65 and older crossing at intersections with painted crosswalks are three times more likely to be hit by cars than at unmarked crossings, according to a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. People aged 65 and older made up 21 percent of the nation's 4739 pedestrian deaths in 2000. Dr. Thomas Koepsell, a University of Washington epidemiologist and lead author of the study, concluded, "Marked crossings may give older pedestrians a false sense of security," which combined with their slow pace makes them especially vulnerable.

• A man held three people at gunpoint and torched a convenience store in Leesville, Louisiana, but left without robbing either the people or the store. After James Ludwigs, 31, turned himself in 90 minutes later, Chief Investigator Marvin Hilton of the Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office explained that the suspect apparently meant to rob the store, but "in the heat of the moment forgot to take anything."

Fruits of Research North Korea's government awarded its top science prize to an herbal medicine for constipation that combines marijuana and rhubarb. The concoction "gives no harmful effect to internal organs but activates their functions and promotes digestion by dissolving bile well," the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported. The story pointed out that the medicine made by Pyongyang Hospital of Koryo Medicine "completely cured" 97 percent of the thousands of constipated patients who tried it. • Researchers at Bostons Forsyth Institute announced that they have succeeded in growing pig teeth in rat intestines. Dominick DePaola, president and CEO of the research institute, declared that the bioengineering feat "has the potential to revolutionize dentistry."

Good Luck Tops Bad When Jacqueline Boanson of Cheltenham, England, noticed a mysterious $445 deposit to her bank account from a bookmaker, she called the bookie for an explanation. The London Times reported that apparently someone stole Boanson's debit card and used it to bet on horse races.

DIGGING INTO VERMONT'S ECO LOGIC

SOMETHING'S A F o f l i By James McDonald, David Vos & Robert Gerlach This Murder Mystery Musical Comedy, based on A g a t h a Christie's classic whodunit Ten Little Indians,

Dirty Air Raid

n the wake of the last election, all those "Thanks, Jim" bumper stickers are beginning to look like sarcastic jabs at Vermont's junior senator. While Jim Jeffords got a year and a half in the spotlight as the Republican-turned-Independent and, more importantly, the coveted chair of the Senate's leading environmental committee, the hard right within the Bush administration is already paying him back. In three swift and decisive kicks to the environmental community last month, the Bush team rolled back former President Clinton's attempts to curtail snowmobiling in national parks, slashed his environmental rules for logging in those same parks, and gutted the regulations governing industrial pollution from aging power plants. While certainly none of this is Jeffords' fault, you have to wonder if the good sen-

Could it be a coincidence that the White House is bringing pollution from the Republican Midwest to the liberal Northeast? ator wouldn't like to trade that year-anda-half of mediocre populism for an opportunity to be a pain-in-the-ass insider today. "The Senator has no regrets," declares Erik Smulson, Jeffords' communications director. The Washington Times reported otherwise, however. In a much-maligned editorial shortly after the election, the right-wing Times reported that Jeffords had made overtures to the Republican leadership in the wee hours of election night as it became clear the G O P might regain control of the Senate. "Nonsense," Smulson replies skeptically, noting the Times editorial page is headed by former Newt Gingrich aide Tony Blankley. While the Times may indeed have been opining in the land of makebelieve, the question remains: W h a t if Jeffords hadn't made the switch? More importantly: Could he have made more of his unique position? Jeffords spent most of his energy during those 18 months trying to save the Northeast Dairy Compact. H e and the rest of the Vermont delegation failed in that effort, agreeing instead on a complicated and impermanent plan that amounts to throwing nickels at dairy farmers in need of $20 bills. To be fair, Jeffords also used his committee to act as a speed b u m p to slow a host of environmentally draconian measures launched by the nascent Bush team, including attempts to gut the Clean Water Act. But when it comes to using power, you've got to hand it to the right-wingers — they don't dilly-dally. It would

have taken Clinton months, if not years, of agonizing and polling to ink decisions as far-reaching as Bush did in a few days. Clinton spent eight years mustering the political chutzpah to finalize his administrations plans to limit snowmobiling and logging in national forests. Bush reversed all that in about eight days. With its perpetual war-mongering working as an antidote, the Bush administration appears to have developed immunity to public opinion. The most recent comprehensive New York TimesCBS News poll showed that while 65 percent of the public "approves" of Bush as a person, a majority still does not approve of his policies. This is particularly true with regard to the environment. According to the poll, a full 66 percent of the public wants the government to "do more to regulate the environmental and safety practices of business." Nor does the Bush team appear to be listening when it explicitly seeks public input. W h e n Bush proposed scrapping Clinton's ban on snowmobiles in national parks, for example, there was a public comment period that drew more than 860,000 respondents. According to the National Park Service staff, more than 80 percent of the comments supported the ban. T h e Bush administration's response? A 35 percent increase — to 1100 a day — in the number of snowmobiles allowed in Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks. As far as Vermonters are concerned, the most troubling of Bush's environmental insults was his decision to gut the Clean Air Act. Specifically, under the new Bush rules, antiquated power plants would no longer be required to automatically upgrade their pollutioncontrol devices w h e n undergoing other facility changes. Bush argues that this mandate is "unfair" to the power industry, while environmentalists see it as an essential tool to minimize greenhouse gases and to clean the air headed toward the heavily populated Northeast. For years Vermont and other Northeastern states have lobbied the federal government to clamp down on the Rust Belt pollutants drifting our way. T h e attorneys general from the six New England states and New York, New Jersey and Maryland recently announced their intention to file a lawsuit to protest the president's dirty tricks. Could it be a coincidence that pollution from the Republican Midwest is descending upon the liberal Northeast? In one grand policy move, Bush did a huge favor for his friends running the energy corporations, stuck his finger in the eyes of enviros and pulled the rug out from under Jeffords. If those bumper-sticker entrepreneurs are ready to switch to apparel, I've got a slogan suggestion for the first post-election T-shirt: "My Senator Switched Parties and All I Got Was Dirty Air." ®

nother Thanksgiving come and gone and the war on terror is plainly being lost. On Saturday, a "frustrated" Greyhound bus driver, on his way from Philadelphia to New York, posed a challenge to homeland security, according to an AP story. Maddened by the traffic, the driver, Robert Mickens, took a shortcut off the New Jersey Turnpike. "Do you know what you're doing up there?" came shouts from behind. "Do you know where you're going?" Clearly annoyed, Mickens answered stoutly, "I'm taking you to the Taliban." Where the Taliban might be hiding in New Jersey wasn't clear as of press time, but "some people panicked," whipped out their cell phones and dialed 911. "Within minutes, 18 police cars surrounded the bus and pulled it over." The passengers were marched off with their hands in the air, and Mickens was charged with "creating a false public alarm." An exceedingly mild sentence, all in all, at a time when American citizens can be denied legal counsel and held without trial as "enemy combatants." I'm just glad I wasn't there, because I'd probably have been carted off with the driver. I've been flying the friendly skies — frisked, searched, looked over, shaken down and instructed at every airport from Vermont to New Orleans to keep my eyes peeled for "suspicious persons." Gasping for life by the time I got home, I was lucky not to be reported the first day. Really, we need to redefine what a "suspicious person" is. I think the anchors on C N N are pretty suspicious, and I think the ones on Fox are downright evil. Normally I don't watch television news — one does have limits — but you can't shut the damn thing off at Thanksgiving, apparently. I've never been hit in one sitting with so many things to be alarmed about. First is "Showdown Iraq," as C N N calls it, or "Countdown Iraq," as they say at Fox — though it might be the other way around. Snow in the Northeast had the talking hairdos salivating over the potential for snarled disaster on this traditional but somehow bittersweet family holiday.'It was noon, with the sun brightly shining, before the anchors confessed that we'd missed another Storm of the Century. Magazines weren't any better. Newsweek was filled with reports on "alternative medicine" and new gadgets for sale in its "TipSheet." Essentially, Newsweek's take on herbs and potions is this: Don't say we told you, and be sure to see your doctor. He's the one who'll be getting the smallpox vaccine a lot sooner than you do. You don't want to know about smallpox, or botulism, or those farmers in Vancouver who ground up 63 prostitutes in a wood-chipper and fed 'em to the hogs. Worse, those farmers sold topsoil, so bits and pieces of somebody's sister might turn up as far away as — well, who

knows? DNA will tell (brother, will it). The Pentagon's new "Total Information Awareness" (TLA) program, by which the government will monitor your every deed from its Total Information Office (TIO), was proposed and will be headed by Admiral John Poindexter. As you may recall, he was convicted of lying to Congress and obstructing justice in the Iran-Contra scandal but was later sprung by a couple of Reagan judges. And how many of you also know that "TIA" and "TIO" mean "AUNT" and "UNCLE" in Spanish? Don't tell me I'm paranoid — the truth is out there and its name is Henry Kissinger. Still not scared? How about these: Asbestos has been found in the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency. The Earth's magnetic field is "weakening dramatically" and could disappear in just a thousand years. The next generation of drugs to treat male impotence "will have the same impact as Viagra, but will have effects that will last for days, not hours." (Wives, just lie there and think of your canning, as the old lady says in The Night of the Hunter.) CNN's breaking news, "Ready, Set, Shop!" displayed "disappointing crowds" in the malls. Retailers expect only a 4 percent rise in sales this Christmas, barely enough to keep executives on the take. Here's a suspicious person for you: Dr. Jerrold Post, professor of political psychology at George Washington University and the CIA's appointed expert on the psyche of Saddam Hussein. Apparently, the problems started in the womb with Saddam. "During the mother's pregnancy the father died," Dr. Post explains. Later, "She tried both to commit suicide and to have an abortion." Note how warfare reinforces domestic policy — no more abortions, you wicked girls. Saddam became a "malignant narcissist," says Dr. Post. This disorder is marked by "an extreme lack of empathy for others, paranoia, the absence of conscience and a readiness to use violence to achieve goals... It can also produce compensatory dreams of glory." (Post thinks Osama bin Laden "is suffering from the same malady.") Another profile of the Evil One, read sideways on a plane, depicts his "obsession with image and hygiene" as proof of insanity. It's a description that would fit the American consumer to a T. When push comes to shove, warns Dr. Post, "Saddam will probably both set fire to the Iraqi oilfields and order the use of chemical and biological weapons against the invading troops and against Israel." Meantime, the cameras are adjusting their picture of Dubya to reflect his historic vision. "Big boys have big toys," says Saddam's shrink, superfluously. "Without the weapons, he's nothing." (7)

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, Was J. Edgar Hoover's cross-dressing an urban legend or a fact? Are there any pictures of him in drag? Where are they if there are/were any? I have never been able to find any info on this except small references in conspiracy books. — Cate One more example of how the oligarchs plot to keep the truth from us, you're thinking — not that this is something you necessarily want to see covered in sixth grade social studies. But as a matter of fact, the alleged transvestitism of John Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 until his death in 1972, has never been established, and reputable historians say it's an urban legend. The story probably got its start because of much more plausible rumors that J. Edgar was gay. He and his right-hand man, Clyde Tolson, were constant companions for more than 40 years, even vacationing together, and both remained lifelong bachelors. (Hoover lived with his mom until she died in 1938.) Richard Nixon, on hearing of Hoover's death, supposedly exclaimed (with his customary delicacy), "Jesus Christ! That old cocksucker!"

^Sr

The cross-dressing thing, however, is a definite no. The story appears in Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover (1993), a gossipy biography by British journalist Anthony Summers, who has also written a JFK assassination conspiracy book. Summers says he got his info from Susan Rosenstiel, fourth wife of Lewis Rosenstiel, chairman of Schenley Industries, a liquor distiller with reputed mob connections. Ms. Rosenstiel claimed that in 1958 she and her husband went to a party at a New York hotel, where they met Hoover and McCarthy witch-hunt lawyer Roy Cohn. Hoover, whom Cohn introduced as "Mary," was supposedly wearing a wig, a black dress, lace stockings, and high heels. Hoover went into a bedroom,

took off his skirt to reveal a garter belt, and had a couple of blond boys — one wearing rubber gloves — "work on him with their hands." Cohn and Hoover then watched while Lewis Rosenstiel had sex with the boys. A year later Ms. Rosenstiel attended another party at the same hotel; this time Hoover wore a red dress and a black feather boa. He had one of the blond boys, who were now dressed in leather, read to him from a Bible while the other "played" with him. Hoover then grabbed the Bible, tossed it down, and told the first boy to join in. Most researchers, including many hostile to Hoover, say this story is ludicrous. In a 1993 Esquire article, journalist Peter Maas wrote that Susan Rosenstiel, the sole source of the cross-dressing allegations, had "been trying to peddle this story for years," apparently because she believed Hoover had put FBI agents on her tail to help her husband during their divorce. According to Ronald Kessler, author of The Bureau: The Secret History of the FBI (2002), Ms. Rosenstiel did jail time for perjury in connection with a 1971 case. Even if she had a shred of credibility, it'd be hard to take this particular tale seriously. Hoover was an old hand at blackmail — he used incriminating information his agency collected about prominent people to maintain his hold on office and otherwise get his way. Would a man with so many enemies put himself in a position to be blackmailed by waltzing around a hotel in drag? Summers also claims that the FBI gave the Mafia a pass for many years because mob boss Meyer Lansky had a photo of Hoover and Tolson having sex. (Apparendy a photo of two men humping on a beach did exist, but one source who claims he saw it says it was too blurry to permit the men to be identified.) Though Hoover did appear reluctant to go after organized crime, most observers think that was because he preferred easy targets to bulk up his arrest records. Once ordered to take on the mob by Robert Kennedy, Hoover pursued Lansky in particular with zeal — irrational behavior if Lansky could expose him. Maas also wrote that when he asked Lansky s closest associate about the photo, the old mafioso replied, "Are you nuts?" Which brings us back to Tolson, and to Hoover's rumored homosexuality. A 1930s magazine article describes Hoovers mincing step, and he was a bit dandyish, favoring white linen suits as a young man; he had classical statues of male nudes at his home, and one of his hobbies was antique collecting. Many people sensed that his long relationship with Tolson was more than a friendship — the pair never lived together, but they're buried side by side. Today some gay activists include Hoover and Tolson in their pantheons of famous gay couples, but appearances notwithstanding, no one has found concrete evidence that the two men were anything other than buds. Given Hoover's ability to cover his tracks — his associates, with Tolsons help, destroyed many of his files upon his death — it's unlikely anyone ever will. — CECIL ADAMS

rating is more than 70 percent. The vast majority of Vermont voters sing Jeezum's praises. Switching back to Trent Lott s team doesn't pass the straightface test. Despite the senator's denial and the paper's inability to prove its story, the Washington Times refused to correct Blankley's error. After all, this is a newspaper that considers people like Rush Limbaugh and

Rev. Jerry Falwell to be outstanding American leaders. T h e Washington Times did publish a letter to the editor from Sen. Jeffords. A rather well-written one at that: "Regarding your Nov. 20, 2002 editorial, 'Sorry, Jim': For those who may still believe what they read in the Washington Times, I would like to just set the record straight. I have absolutely no interest in caucusing with the Republican Party, and I have absolutely no desire to rejoin the GOP. Neither I, nor any staff member, has made overtures of the type you claim. I am very comfortable where I am, thank you. "I can only guess why your unidentified senior Senate leadership source' may have been tempted to fabricate and float such a story (if there was, in fact, any such source). But I learned long ago that it is dangerous to ascribe motives, especially here in Washington. I would have been glad to set you srrpightjjad you only called. But you probably knew that following the most basic rule of good journalism would surely take all the fun out of the game." Nice. In the past week, Jeezum Jim has come out swinging. O n Saturday he gave the Democratic response to Big Brother's weekly national radio address. T h e same day The New York Times ran his op-ed piece highlighting the Bush administration's failure to address important national "security" issues like millions of jobs moving offshore and the pollution spewing from coal-fired power plants that leads to thousands of premature deaths each year. And Jeezum Jim made it perfectly clear that he's one Vermonter who has only just begun to fight. "If the new, razor-thin Republican majority abuses its power," wrote Jeffords, "and moves forward with an extreme agenda that overlooks the concerns of the many and benefits only the privileged few, there will be repercussions... If the Republicans read the recent election results as a rejection of moderation and a mandate to steamroll opposition from within the party, they will be making a grave mistake." O u r bet is, the Bush team gets out the steamroller again; It's the only set of wheels they know how to drive. ®

iddlebury College professor Glenn Andres still recalls the day he picked up Robert Venturi at the airport and drove him to campus for a visit. As Andres remembers it, the famous Philadelphia architect-author got out of the car, took one look at the place, and declared: "You have what everyone thinks an American campus looks like but almost never does. It would be very easy to mess this up." Nearly $140 million in controversial new construction later, Andres knows better than anyone how right Venturi was. As a professor of architectural history, he is ideally positioned to evaluate how wealthy institutions use their building resources. And, as a part-time member of Middlebury's facilities planning department, he has been party to the school's recent architectural decision making. So, when Andres invited Vermont architects and architecture students to campus last month, more than 100 of them showed up — presumably hoping that Andres and his colleagues would explain some of the recent choices that have transformed Middlebury from the bucolic campus Venturi saw to what it is today. The place is ringed by a series of fortress-like new buildings that seem to suggest Middlebury College is a kind of medieval estate in Addison County. But Andres' talk was not about feudalism; it was about Middlebury College in a struggle — with its neighbors, with the limitations and challenges of its picture-perfect setting, with its architects and with itself. Andres is loyal; he said nothing critical about his employer. H e simply told his visitors the story that began back in the mid-1980s, when Venturi arrived to interview for the job of designing the College's new Center for the Performing Arts. Despite Venturis memorable assessment of Middlebury's physical virtues, the commission went to Hugh Hardy of Hardy, Holtzman Pfeiffer Associates of New York. Hardy looked at the site of the project and instantly fell in love with the building nearby, Le Chateau. So he designed the performing arts center as a tribute to Middlebury's maison frangaise, mimicking its steep roofline and pinnacled turrets.

ROSS COMMONS

But then (he college trustees decided that the spot next to Le Chateau was too small; they insisted on moving the whole complex across campus, to a site on South Main Street beside the field house. Since this neighbor is an ugiy recycled airpiane hangar, contextualism was out of the question.

in all, it is a sensible and responsible blueprint. Unfortunately, Middlebury College has ignored much of what the plan holds dear, validating Venturis comment about the ease of messing up a great place. Down went the College's ugly and unpopular

Payette's Bi Hall is an unsightly parody of the signature Greek Revival facade of Old Chapel, flanked by wings of repetitive windows and granite that are more evocative of a prison than a college.

Hardy's homage to the French renaissance remained, but his design, while rich with architectural meaning and full of luxurious performance spaces, has never functioned as intended. According to Andres, the building has been underused because only the showplaces — theaters, galleries, etc. — were moved across campus, while the classrooms and other traditional facilities were left behind in existing buildings adjacent to the original'site. This debacle got college officials thinking there ought to be more logic governing building choices than the momentary and potentially whimsical preferences of trustees or designers. So they hired an alumnus, David Wallace of Wallace Floyd Associates in Boston, to put together a comprehensive master plan that would guide Middlebury's future expansion. His first draft was finished in 1995. Wallace's plan proposed minimizing impacts, maintaining the campus's unique qualities, nurturing a close working relationship with the town and preserving views — the latter a particular imperative for a campus with rapture-inducing vistas of the famous mountain ranges to both the east and west. The plan identified an academic and social nucleus around the school's McCullough Student Center and the adjacent Starr Library, which the College had singled out for a major expansion. All

Science Center, a big hunk of 1960s concrete brutalism that functioned as a giant barrier between Old Stone Row — the three iconic buildings that are the oldest on campus — and downtown. But now, inexplicably, the College is rebuilding the wall, in the form of a $40 million new library designed by New York's Gwathmey Siegel & Associates. Middlebury "agonized over this one," Andres said at his talk last month. The college required Robert Siegel and his colleagues to work through eight different design proposals before settling on the winner, which will present a face to campus that vaguely resembles a round Shaker Barn. To the town, the new library will present two big walls — more varied than the blunt facade of the old Science Center, but walls nevertheless. Gwathmey Siegel got the job on the strength of a proposal to transform the existing Starr Library by tearing down all but the century-old Beaux Arts core and surrounding it with a curved addition. The Shaker Barn idea made some sense in this context, which would have kept the library right where the master planners thought it should be. But the

THE NEW LIBRARY UNDER CONSRUCTION

19 A

college's trustees had other ideas. This led to pitched battles with townsfolk before the Middlebury Planning Board, with neighbors concerned about noise, light >n and the big box of ^building^ tThljglQllege hatted, and videotaped IP ^ town meeting before Gwathmey Siegel started the design. "The architects took it home and memorized every line of it," Andres recalled. This speaks well of the architects and the process. But its useless if the real decision makers ignore the public input.

A similar scenario unfolded with the Ross Commons complex, designed by Tai Soo Kim Associates of Hartford. The new residential and dining complex, which recently opened on the western edge of campus, ran squarely up against the master plan's imperative to preserve Adirondack views. Kim thought a transparent glass bridge would work nicely to preserve the views and connect his complex to the existing Ross Commons dorms to the north. But as built, the design brought the bridge down to earth and includes triple-glazed glass that leaves the walkway opaque and wall-like. Seen from the east, the campus once offered a breathtaking mountain vista punctuated by small buildings. Now, there are just a few feet of open space between the Ross Commons complex and Bicentennial Hall — the science building completed for the schools 200th anniversary in 2000. The monstrous "Bi Hall" itself has been controversial. With a 215,000 square feet, the building now houses 40 percent of the school's classrooms. Centralizing so much of a small, traditional liberal arts college in one huge building is the very opposite of the classic,. American campus feeling Venturi experienced when he visited. How did this happen? Andres admitted in his lecture that many — including townsfolk who live within sight of the college's now-looming western skyline — find the scale of Bi Hall disturbing. Yet the commissioning of such a building was "not because of mega-

lomania," Andres insisted. The size is purely a function of efficiency, he suggested; separating the functions into a series of smaller structures would have required 25 percent more building. This echoes the line taken in the Middlebury Magazine, the school's official organ. The cover story of the Fall 2002 "•»; issue concedes that some have blasted Bi Hall for its vastness, but claims that "if critics of the building could hear faculty members talk about how it was designed around their input... their opinions might moderate." The architects, James Collins and Bob SchaefFer of Payette Associates in Boston, "stood out precisely because of a willingness to meet real needs rather than displaying an egoistic insistence on an aesthetic concept," the magazine noted. But sometimes, architectural egotism is precisely what is needed. A good architect will listen carefully when meeting with the prospective users of a new building — like Bi Hall's faculty denizens. But this same architect ought to be outspoken and persistent when dealing with out-of-town trustees who are inclined to wield their checkbooks in favor of choices that are harmful or arbitrary — such as placing a big building right at the crest of a hill. Finally, egotism in architects is well worth suffering by clients like Middlebury College. Hugh Hardy may or may not be more egotistical than his counterparts at Payette, but his Center for the Performing Arts is intriguing and beautiful. Payette's Bi Hall is an unsightly parody of the signature Greek Revival facade of Old Chapel, flanked by wings of repetitive windows and granite that are more evocative of a prison than a college.

had hoped to tear down the old Town Hall, which occupies a wedge of land between College and South Main streets just at the edge of the school's property and replace it with a lawn and a "Middlebury College" sign. In a protracted stand-off fraught with symbolism, locals turned the trustees down. This is not just a town-gown problem; the conflict over how the campus should grow and change also rages within. The Ross Commons project, for example, is an ambitious program to transform the school into five residential communities

architects in dialogue about the College, Andres clearly understands that such discourse is more than just good public relations; it can ground the College's architectural choices in more indigenous sensibilities. But he could not coax the real decision makers -— people like Executive Vice President for Facilities Planning David Ginevan, College President John McCardell or any of the trustees whose veto power is paramount — into participating. There's one positive sign. The next big residential-dining project, Atwater Commons, is rising behind Le Chateau. The

To the town, the new library will present two big walls — more varied than the blunt facade of the old Science Center, but walls nevertheless.

Design divisiveness in Middlebury is not restricted to campus. This spring, Middlebury's voters said no to a plan to move their cramped Town Hall out of downtown and into the strip-mall district south of the village on Route 7. The College had offered to donate the new site and to buy the old one for $3 million. It

and thereby move Middlebury away from its historic fraternity-based social life. So far, the effort at social engineering has inspired skepticism. "Student reaction," the Middlebury Campus student newspaper editorialized this fall, "remains complicated and, in some cases, very negative." According to the paper, there is an "artificial air" to these communities, with students migrating from commons to commons in search of the best accommodations. If the students are behaving like realestate shoppers, perhaps it is because they must part with $39,500 for a year of college. That price tag may also explain why the new dining hall at Ross Commons resembles a restaurant, with curved ceilings of locally harvested wood, next to an indoor dorm-to-dining walkway. Where once the College could simply assume it was attracting students who enjoyed the outdoors, even in cold weather, now it apparently feels obliged to offer resort-type amenities. Middlebury's architectural ambivalence rears itself in another, less obvious, sense. In organizing an effort to engage Vermont

site is actually designated in the master plan as appropriate for such expansion. Designed by Kieran Timberlake Associates of Philadelphia, this might be the best example of architectural art at Middlebury College since the Greek Revival of the 1820s. The two dorm buildings frame the back of the Chateau, but in a gently non-symmetrical manner that responds to the topography. In form, these buildings pay tribute to the oldest building on campus, the beautifully austere Painter Hall, adding a syncopated window pattern that is distinctly contemporary. Adjacent, but not connected by an indoor walkway, is a delightfully radical exclamation point of a building — an oval dining hall, surrounded by what Andres calls "corrugated windows" and capped with a sod roof. This design strives to blur the distinction between the building and its earthly setting. If Middlebury College keeps building such structures, critics might be silenced. Good architecture speaks for itself.

Donald Kreis, an attorney who writes frequently about architecture, graduated from Middlebury College in 1980.

STORY

ROGER NAYLOR IMAGE

MICHAEL TONN

emember the terrorist attacks? They were all over the news, remember? We were numb for a while, and then we vowed to change our priorities once and for all and focus on what's truly important in life. But that was before we discovered deep-fried Twinkies and "American Idol" and the "Anna Nicole Show," and we were totally going to vote in that midterm election but by then we were caught up in the Winona trial. Now its more than a year since the World Changed Forever and we're planted in the same couch groove, except it's wider and deeper, more like a couch canyon, but if we don't buy and fry the Twinkies, the terrorists win, right? So we learn a valuable lesson: Priorities are hard to change. That's probably why they became priorities in the first place. Now it's the holiday season. That means the kids will want toys. Doesn't matter that our 401(k) is gutted, we're one swiped stapler from being canned, and we're gearing up for yet another freakin' war; innocent hearts won't be denied at this magical time of year. Children will scramble down the stairs early Christmas morn hoping to find the must-have toy of the season. Well, here's a suggestion for the youngsters: Blow it out your tiny butts. You're not the boss of us. Maybe we can't change our own priorities, but we can damn sure reshape our offspring. Kids aren't hardwired for priorities yet. Act now and we can steer them down a more spiritual path, one not dominated by fads, trends and materialistic lust. They'll thank us for our selfless parental courage later. Or they'll gobble Ritalin like Skittles while sobbing uncontrollably to their therapists. Either way, we save some coin this Christmas. Let's look at a few of the hot toys this holiday season and some possible less expensive options.

LEGO HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS PLAYSET:

RAPUNZEL BARBIE: How utterly groundbreaking! Its Barbie but with slightly different hair. The geniuses at Mattel have done it again! Forget it. This plastic princess has skanked her way into our wallets too m*.ny times. Go to Goodwill,ÂŤscorel dbst-ofFBarbie, then bobby-pin that hairSvad from the shower drain to her headl Everybody wins.

CHICKEN DANCE ELMO:

With this 591-piece set, kids can build the Hogwarts dungeon. O n e drawback: The sonofabitch retails for $69.99! But there are other popular movies besides Harry Potter. For a fraction of the cost, your kids can have "Eminem and the Trailer of 8 Mile Playset." Containing 26,456 scraps of razorsharp sheet metal, your child can build a life-size replica of the doublewide where Eminem and his slutty m o m lived, and unlock the wonders of a dead-end white-trash existence. Keep plenty of Bactine and bandages on hand during assembly.

y ^ S m . , d j e ; h e i g h t s o f h i s "TickleMe" 5 fame. N o w his behavior, like a brain-damaged uncle at a wedding reception, indif tcates he suffers from a serious substance abuse problems Sad. Ifyou'relooking to ^ deliver a mes \ a d d i S S n , S S d l r Urine Soaked / W Jm Nolte instead.

SPIDERMAN ACTION FIGURE: T h e wall-crawler's a flash in the pan. Go for something with proven longevity, like a Larry King Action Figure. H e comes with pontificating power and detachable suspenders. Pull his string and he speaks on a wide range of subjects, with only the earliest signs of dementia evident: "It's Rip Taylor's world, we just sweep up the confetti in it. If you're making a list of all-time greatest puddings, tapioca better be at or near the top. If you ever have to flag down a cab naked, wait until your erection subsides. You look less desperate that way. Know who can take a punch? Goldie Hawn. Gnat Balls, Wisconsin, you're on the air!"

PAINT-YOUR-OWN CHAIR: also a 25th anniversary edition of , Trivial Pursuit and special 50th anniversary Matchbox cars. But if you're going old-school, go all the way. Give your kids a stick. Kids love sticks. And whether it's poking a corpse they find v near the river or jabbing through \ the bars at zoo animals, nothing / N. does the job like a stick. /

I swear. From Curiosity Kits, retailing for $35 and recommended for ages 6 and up. This is hot on the heels of their wildly successful "Unclog-YourO w n Toilet" and "Refinish-Your-Own Hardwood Floors." No need to waste money on a licensed contractor when you've got toddlers and power tools.

Greener Pastures, Burlington

nyone searching for Franklin Middle School Theater Troupe's Phantom of the Op'ry apparel? Your prayers could be answered at Greener Pastures. The Burlington store just happens to carry one of the souvenir black T-shirts from the March 1999 student production, along with approximately 20,000 other pieces of clean, affordable used clothing. Since August 15, owners David Heifetz and Stan Small have occupied the 4200square-foot space on North Winooski Avenue that once housed the Onion River Food Co-op. "We've spent $150,000 to help revitalize the Old North End," says the 57-year-old Heifetz, whose long, graying

four months ago because of the demands on his time at the Queen City enterprise. All those years in the trade have provided Heifetz with significant sources. "We have long-term relationships with four or five rag dealers in Toronto, Montreal and Texas," he explains. "They sort 1.5 billion pounds a week." Greener Pastures also buys clothing from the public, though during the winter that proposition is for store credit rather than cash. To foster community spirit, Heifetz has attracted 200 members, who receive all sorts of benefits. There's a "clearance room," where members get a 50 percent discount, as opposed to 40 percent for non-

hair befits someone who sold hippie paraphernalia, posters and Army-surplus duds at the 1969 Woodstock festival. "We signed a 12-year lease, so we're here to stay." His career has had several incarnations. "I've been a recycler since 1966," Heifetz points out, referring to businesses he ran while still a student at the University of New Hampshire. "I was one of the first guys in America to sell used clothing." At the end of that decade, he opened The Rag Machine, a wholesale operation in Pennsylvania. Then in the early 1970s Heifetz was off to, Canada, where he established the now-defunct Farmer's Rag Market in Toronto. Later, he and Small started a chain of stores called South Pacific there and in nearby Buffalo, New York, as well as an Army-Navy oudet elsewhere in Ontario. While his two snowboarding sons attended Vermont Academy in Saxton's River, Heifetz grew accustomed to skiing the Green Mountains. He tried a wholesale clothing venture in Georgia in 2001, but gave it up P H O T O : MATTHEW T H O R S E N

members. On weekends, the store sells garments that are overstocked — or perhaps missing a button — for $1.99 per pound. Even without those deals, Heifetz's wares are reasonable. "Some of our prices aren't a hell of a lot more than at the Salvation Army thrift shops," he boasts, gesturing to racks of Polar fleece vests for $9 to $11, a bin of silk scarves for $3 each, and short leather jackets for $25 to $40. Part of one wall has been given over to Hawaiian shirts, which range from $8 to $12. Compared with other local usedclothing venues like Old Gold or Battery Street Jeans, Heifetz adds, Green Pastures has a wider selection. In the spring, he plans to organize weekend chicken barbecues, as well as arts-and-crafts fairs with other food and live music on Sundays, in the adjacent parking l o t . / W e want to make this area come alive," Heifetz says.

Second Star, Vergennes ideas for fun-loving folks of all ages. Far from an action-Figure Filled mall toy store, Second Star specializes in stocking a little bit of everything. Stylin' sunglasses, funky jewelry and ceramics share the shelves with classic toys and an array of mind-twisting puzzles and games. Head up a quick flight of stairs and you'll Find a large selection of greeting cards and a cozy room Filled with

Since she doesn't obsess about Filling the shop with the latest in toy trends, shoppers looking for Harry Potter or video games should head elsewhere. Second Star is more about offbeat acquisitions. From crystal martini glasses — complete with glass olives — to dress-up clothes, origami and jigsaw puzzles, the store overflows with a constantly changing selection of items.

provider who always fantasized about having her own store. Now a reality on quiet Green Street in Vergennes, Second Star offers unique products selected to enlighten, educate and entertain. Inside the clean, warm boutique, shoppers find display racks packed with neatly arranged gift

inventive housewares. Named after the path to Neverland in Peter Pan, the shop seems blessed with a certain magic. Forgoing hip kiddie trends in favor of items with educational value, Paul thinks of the shop as "an upscale general store. There is a little bit of everything here — all fun." Better yet, the high-quality wares at Second Star pique the imagination more than the pocketbook. "Much of what I sell is under $10, and I don't have anything more than $60," Paul explains. "I'm not trying to compete with Wal-Mart or cater to tourists."

$5.95 gets you a set of six "Wishing Stones" sporting positive imperatives like "create," "magic" and "dream." Classic Playmobil Figurine sets run from $2.50 to $50.

The L-shaped Church Street store, open since last May, has a bucolic vintage ambience. Its awash with quaint charm, from the Shabby Chic bed linens, lampshades and bathrobes to fleamarket collectibles that she has found throughout New England. "Those [secondhand] things really began to sell," says Bouchard, whose previous experience was primarily in the hospitality business — most recently at the Willard Street Inn. "It's gratifying that people appreciate what I love. When I go to flea markets or garage sales, a lot of things just sort of speak to me."

with "what you might have on your nightstand" — a clear glass carafe and tumbler, a miniature rosebush in a green pot, a lamp with cherubs carved into its wooden base, and a tea cup with an antique spoon. She also carries items from Pine Cone Hill, a Massachusetts company that manufactures classic linens. They're somewhat less expensive than those made by Shabby Chic. The queen-size sheets, for example, cost $72 rather than $120. Trillium, named for the wildflower, has many treasures that might work well under a Christmas tree or stuffed in a stocking. For example, the elegant wall

"My original idea was to appeal to someone who just bought a house. They might come in here and say, I'll take everything.'" — Susan Bouchard

hile vacationing on Marthas Vineyard a few years ago, Susan Bouchard discovered a lifestyle of Shabby Chic. That's the cleverly oxymoronic name of a successful Californiabased line of home decorating products with an old-fashioned floral look that matched her personal taste. Before long,

At Trillium, Bouchard's interior-decorating schemes change weekly. "My displays are not really conventional," she explains. "I put together entire rooms. My original idea was to appeal to someone who just bought a house. They might come in here and say, 'I'll take PHOTO: MATTHEW T H O R S E N everything.'" Currently her front window arrangethe St. Albans native was planning a ment includes a rustic wooden ensemble: a downtown Burlington emporium — to be double bed, a dresser, a commode and a called Trillium — that would offer an chair that all sport a blue flower design eclectic inventory with a similar flourish. "I winged it," acknowledges the 36-year- painted on a gray background. O n sale for old Bouchard, who had never before owned $2400, the set is adorned with a Shabby Chic cover, sheets and pillow cases. a retail operation. "This was a huge risk for Bouchard has embellished the furniture me, and I'm not much of a risk-taker."

hangings with French advertising graphics for exotic fare like petits pois and violette de parme are encased in zinc-finish frames with porcelain-tipped knobs. They're handy for bathrooms or kitchens and they run from $10.50 to $29. Bouchard sells various Shabby Chic tchochkas as well, such as candles ($32), cosmetic bags ($ 16-$22) and coin purses ($14). The founder of that firm, Rachel Ashville, decorated a restaurant Jennifer Lopez launched on the West Coast this year. Bouchard has the only shop in Vermont with a full array of the consumer goods that apparendy appeal to J.Lo. Not too shabby. — Susan Green

ANURTEL International Boutique, Waitsfield

o, you think your holiday shopping is grueling? Consider a typical outing for Joni Zweig, who buys goods for the International Boutique held every December in Waitsfield. A week before she arrived in India on a buying trip last year, there were massive anti-American demonstrations, prompted by the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, in the cities she was traveling to. This year, just days after she took a train to Delhi, terrorists blew up a trestle that spans a 400-foot gorge on the same line, killing hundreds ot passengers. Weeks later, she arrived in Bali at the height of monsoon sea-

Zweig brought back a handful of items from India in her suitcase and sold them on a small card table. Since then, the sale has grown to fill the entire Masonic Hall in Waitsfield Village and requires the help of more than 50 volunteers. In the past shoppers have come from ali over New England, including some who flew in for the event on their private planes. Last year the sale took in more than $35,000. This year, for the first time, Zweig shipped many of the items by boat, which enables her to offer larger items such as teak chairs, wooden dressers and intricately hand-carved Balinese screens. A man who runs an

Besides picking up eclectic holiday gifts, shoppers at the International Boutique will come away knowing that their money will benefit worthwhile causes

The International Boutique is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. flee. 7 - 1 4 at the Hasonic Halt in Waitsfield. Info, 496-5500 or 583-2204.

son, where the temperature was more than 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity. Shortly after Zweig left the country, a massive explosion tore through a crowded disco, killing nearly 200 people, most of them foreign tourists. The market where she had been shopping was obliterated. "We're sort of one step ahead of the violence," Zweig says. "It's kind of unnerving." But Zweig remains undeterred. As the North American president of AMURTEL, a women's international relief organization based in India, Zweig has spent months accumulating thousands of one-of-a-kind items from around the world for this annual holiday event. All proceeds from the sale go to programs that assist women and children in developing countries, as well as the Washington County Battered Women's Shelter. The items sold at the International Boutique — Pashmina shawls, Kashmiri rugs, South American dolls, Haitian metalwork, Tureg silver made by desert tribes in Africa, and much, much more — are all handmade, purchased from the individuals or families who made them and sold at wholesale prices.. Zweig pays fair-market value and goes to great lengths to assure the items are not made by children or slave labor. The International Boutique began in 1987 when

AMURTEL water project in Africa also did some advance work for her, visiting a local village-market and shooting digital pictures he e-mailed her to peruse. Besides picking up eclectic holiday gifts, shoppers at the International Boutique will come away knowing that their money will benefit worthwhile causes. Among them is a women's midwifery program that AMURTEL started recently in Burkina Faso, one of the poorest nations in West Africa. The program not only provides prenatal, delivery and postnatal care to mothers — many of them no older than 13 — but also trains local women as midwives, providing them with essential health skills and economic independence. Zweig doesn't just buy from these merchants; she gets to know them all personally. This year, for instance, she went back to India and visited several women she'd dealt with in the past. "Its not just about being an American and they're these Indian beggar women," Zweig says. "We're happy to see each other. They'll show me their new babies,. well talk about our kids and health issues. Its wonderful to have that human relationship with these folks." — Ken Picard

Bradley House, Warren

<13 thing is how many of the items are made nearby; that's what makes the shop unique and gives it a sense of history. The early settlers in Warren, as elsewhere in Vermont, were a hardy, self-sufficient lot; you can imagine the womenfolk making candles, knitting mittens, quilting bedspreads and sewing up toys for the tots. While many of the decorative, homebeautifying objets d'art now at Bradley House would have been lost on its namesake, some of the handcrafted items are as

ld Will Bradley would surely marvel at what's become of the house he called home in the late 1800s. And, for that matter, that his name has acquired immortality not for his own accomplishments as a carpenter, but for those of some 50 artisans which now adorn the clapboard structure next to the Warren Store. "I thought Bradley House was a good name since it is a historic building," offers owner Virginia Roth. And perhaps it was a natural choice for a woman who's been in real estate since 1961.

When she and her husband bought the building in 1989 to house their business, an architect was ensconced upstairs. By 1993, the Roths had moved their office to the second floor and Virginia had opened a gift shop on the first. "I had always admired arts and crafts," she explains. "I started with showcasing local, then more Vermont artists." Now Bradley House represents a few . regional artists, too, but the focus is clearly on domestic Vermont-y gifts, from woven rugs to duck decoys, recycled glass plates to landscape photographs.

Congressional Town Meeting. December 10, First Congregational Church, 38 South Winooski Avenue, Burlington, 7 p.m. Info, 862-0697.

n conjunction with a number of Vermont organizations, I am holding a Congressional Town Meeting Tuesday, December 10, on how we can improve the responsiveness, accountability and openness at Fletcher Allen Health Care. I invite all Vermonters to come and make their voices heard on this extremely important issue. T h e recent revelations surrounding the scandal at Fletcher Allen constitute the biggest financial fraud in the history of Vermont. A project that was approved by the state for an expenditure of $173 million has turned into a project that could cost $326 million — a difference of more than $150 million that was deliberately hidden from state regulators and the public they are supposed to serve. Let's be clear. At a time of soaring health-care costs, when tens of thousands of Vermonters are uninsured or under-insured, every dollar involved in this cover-up will come from the health-care consumers and taxpayers of Vermont — which is all of us.

crisis, and there are serious differences of opinion as to how health-care dollars should be spent. It is simply wrong that not a single member of the hospital Board is responsible to the public. Although Vermonters will pay for the dramatic cost of the "Renaissance Project" and a hospital budget of $500 million a year, the public has no formal representation on the hospital Board. Rather, the Board is appointed — four members apiece — by the University of Vermont, Fanny Allen, the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont and University Health Care. We should be very clear in understanding that none of the wrongdoing and accounting failures are the fault of the highly competent doctors at FAHC, the dedicated nurses or the hard-working staff. Many of these people have given much of their lives to the hospital, and we all appreciate the excellent work they have done. Tragically, they — like all the citizens of Vermont — have been betrayed by the wrongdoing of those who run the hospital.

Given the significance of Fletcher Allen in the delivery of health care in Vermont, the public has a right to ask hard questions and demand^ that the Board of Trustees provide serious answers.

This crisis affects every Vermonter because Fletcher Allen Health Care is the largest health-care provider in the state, with a budget surpassing $500 million. By way of comparison, Fletcher Allen's budget is equal to nearly 30 percent of the entire budget of the State of Vermont. Fletcher Allen consumes approximately 25 percent of the health-care dollars spent in Vermont. Further, it receives more than 35 percent of its total revenue — more than $170 million — in tax dollars from the federal and state government in Medicare and Medicaid payments. Given the significance of Fletcher Allen in the delivery of health care in Vermont, the public has a right to ask hard questions and demand that the Board of Trustees provide serious answers. While certain individuals clearly bear much of the blame for this fiasco, there are structural institutional problems at Fletcher Allen — the most important being the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars, both public and private, are being spent behind closed doors by people who have little or no accountability to the citizens of Vermont. This state faces a major health-care

In my view, just changing the top management and the membership of the Board of Trustees will not be enough. Instead, we need to look at establishing a Board that governs in a way that is far more representative of and responsive to the people of Vermont. Only by considering fundamental governance changes in the Board, and taking a hard look at the regulatory process in the State that allowed this fraud to take place, will Fletcher Allen become more accountable, responsive and open. Yet restructuring the Board is not an end unto itself. If we open up the Fletcher Allen Board and make it more responsive to the public, I believe that the hospital will be better-positioned and more inclined to address the accessibility, quality and cost of health care in Vermont. While these are some of the views that I hold, I would like to hear your opinion as to how the scandal at Fletcher Allen should be addressed and how, together, we can use this opportunity to make a good health care facility better. It is time to begin the public dialogue about what went wrong and how tofixit. ®

I EXHIBIT Oupavos, Andy Duback & Bethany Bond: photographs. Red Square, Burlington, Through December 15. ARTWORK "Decision" by Bethany Bond

n the afternoon of an autumn day in the late 1830s, a tall, thin man was walking down Boulevard du Temple in Paris when he noticed his shoes were a little dull. On a sidewalk at the corner of a park was a shoeshine boy, so the man stopped there for a shine. The boy sat on a stool as he buffed the man's shoes. It was a sunny afternoon, and the shadows of thinly leafed trees were spreading out across the street, Although they didn't know it was happening, these two figures were about to become the first people ever photographed. Louis Daguerre was in his apartment about a block way, pointing his camera at the street. His photographic plate required an exposure time of at least 15 minutes, and so the carriages and strolling couples on that busy boulevard were rendered invisible. But the man who had stopped and the boy shining his shoes were relatively stationary. They were immortalized by a happy accident. The figurative photographs of Bethany Bond, Andy Duback and an artist identified simply as "Oupavos," currently exhibited at Red Square in Burlington, suffer from a lack of happy accidents. While technically competent, their pieces are theatrically contrived and barren of engaging aesthetic ideas. Due to a lack of labeling, it's difficult to tell which work belongs to whom in the show, but in the front bar area a poster informs us that the nearby work is a collaborative effort by Duback and Bond. Why and how they collaborated is not explained. The photos are the product of one session with a female model, who, unlike the tiny figures in Daguerres street scene, is completely aware she is being photographed. She seems to pantomime the title of each piece, with poses signifying titles such as "Paranoia" and "Lost." "Abducting Shadows" is somewhat less literal, but it's still the basic self-conscious model in a shadowy space, as are the rest of these collaborative works. Three of Bond's solo pieces hang in the back room of Red Square. Each is a large, black-and-white picture of a vapid, twentysomething Goth girl holding a scary-looking doll. The raw creativity of these photographs is indescribable. Each is a dark journey into the heart of genuine M T V angst, made visible by the veracity of Bond's

nant nude model are hardly revolutionary. However, Oupavos retains some of the developed film border on his photos for a nice arty touch. The slightly askew cropping also mitigates the "tyranny of the rectangle," as earlier avant-gardists might have put it. In 1839 The Paris Gazette "marveled at the images produced by Daguerres odd invention." The process "requires no knowledge of drawing..." the paper proclaimed. "Anyone may succeed... and perform as well as the author of the invention. 1

treaties and perpetrating assassinations. But two elements have not changed since Daguerre's day: Each photograph requires a photographer and subject. From that departure point a universe of images, limited only by the human intellect, is at a contemporary photographer's command. Yet, despite 150 years of artistic and technological evolution, not many photographers — including those currently exhibiting at Red Square — have succeeded at their work quite like "the author of the invention."

TILL D E A T H DO U S PART? McElhone and Clooney don't let a little thing like the Grim Reaper get in the way of love.

he Polish novelist Stanislaw Lem is the most translated non-English-speaking sci-fi author on the planet. Nonetheless, it's doubtful any of the writer's works has ever undergone the sort of morph job his most popular one now has. As reimagined and adapted for the screen by director Steven Soderbergh, the 1961 classic actually gains something in the translation. Call me crazy. The story's a literary milestone, but, to my way of thinking, the filmmaker's improved upon it. George Clooney gives a finely calibrated performance in the role of a psychologist who responds to a distress call sent by an old friend from a distant space station. Something mysterious is going on aboard the craft orbiting the eponymous planet. "You have to see it for yourself," the colleague implores. "You need this." By the time we find out why he may have felt that way, the old friend has taken his own life, Clooney has boarded a vast ghost town of a vessel and, in flashback, his character is revealed to have loved and lost a beautiful, troubled woman played by Natascha McElhone. Her death, we learn, followed a fight between the couple, leaving Clooney's character with a crippling sense of guilt and regret. O n board he encounters the crews two survivors. Both are evasive on

the subjects of what's been happening and why they haven't turned around and headed for home. In essence, they assure him he'll find out for himself soon enough, and leave him to spend his first night on the ship. In his dreams he and McElhone reenact scenes of their life together. When he awakes, however, she's still there. A reasonable facsimile of her, anyway. As it turns out, everyone on the craft has been having visitors ever since the station settled into position high above Solaris. Crewmembers can only speculate as to the purpose of these unsettling incarnations. One thing on which all agree, though, is the fact that their guests aren't human. Nor are they the actual people they appear to be. Which isn't to say they're not great company. Each person on board has his own psychology to play out. Clooney comes to view the situation as a gift, an opportunity for redemption. While he understands that the being next to him isn't in reality his dead lover — even the being herself is conscious that she's some sort of cosmic doppelganger — he's overpowered by the need to believe she is. He wants to think that somehow, in some extradimensional pocket of time, the two can still spend eternity together living "inside the feeling."

Here Soderbergh doesn't merely depart from Lem's original story. He rewrites it. The novel is an icy meditation on man's place in the universe and the unknowableness of God. It poses countless metaphysical questions and makes a point of answering none of them. In Soderbergh's hands, however, Solaris becomes a celebration of romantic love that culminates in the revelation of a caring, forgiving Creator. At the end of his book Lem writes, "The age-old faith of lovers and poets in the power of love, stronger than death, that finis vitae sed non amoris is a lie, useless and not even funny." The director ignores the author in favor of just such a poet. Clooney's character repeatedly quotes Dylan Thomas: "Though lovers be lost love shall not; and death shall have no dominion." It's a gutsy move, and I have to say I find Soderbergh's Solaris an eminently more satisfying experience than Lem's. This is a film as elegantly directed as any by Kubrick, superbly acted and brilliantly scored, as spellbinding a work of cinema as we're likely to see for some time. It's not every day a picture comes along and proves worthy of comparison to 2001. Soderbergh's latest may well leave Stanislaw Lem grumbling. My bet is, virtually everyone else will be blown away. ®

ROUGE

• Many people are rooting for the bittersweet Y Tu Mama Tambien to win this year's foreign-language Oscar. The movie, about a woman with private sorrows who helps two adolescent boys come of age, is one of several recent productions from Mexico that explore daring themes with panache. The country south of our border must be in the midst of a cinematic renaissance. One of the Y Tu Mama stars, Gael Garcia Bernal, appears in The Crime of Father Amaro, a controversial current release about amorous heterosexual priests that is breaking Mexican boxoffice records. The actor also portrays a desperate victim of unrequited desire in Amores Perros, a 2001 picture that will be screened at Middlebury College's Dana Auditorium at 3 and 8 p.m. on Saturday. Idiomatically translated as Love's a Bitch, the Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu film traces the intersection of several characters — all of them terribly flawed — whose stories initially seem disparate. The first saga concerns Octavio (Bernal). Smitten with Susana (Vanessa

With a few lessons and a wildly revealing costume, the voluptuous Lilia becomes an accomplished belly dancer — a clandestine occupation that must be kept secret from everyone else who knows her. Theater in Montpelier. Exposed navels and leering men do appear in the film, but the titillation is less important than the self-discovery. Lilia, played by the lovely Palestinian actress Hiam Abass, is a dowdy middleaged woman who cleans house obsessively, talks to a photo of her dead husband, watches soap operas and frets about her teenage daughter. Salma (Hend El Fahem) is not so much rebellious as keen to escape her solemn home environment — she wants to party. She's also sleeping with a handsome young musician named Chokri (Maher Kamoun) but doesn't dare introduce him to her overprotective mother. One night, while searching for Salma, Lilia stumbles into a smoke-filled Tunis cabaret and faints at the sight of professional belly dancers strutting their stuff. The exuberant atmosphere both shocks and thrills her. She recovers backstage under the nurturing care of Folia (Monia Hichri), a let-it-all-hang-out performer who soon persuades the repressed widow to try being a little more footloose. With a few lessons and a wildly revealing costume, the voluptuous Lilia becomes an accomplished belly dancer — a clandestine occupation that must be kept secret from everyone else who knows her. Her double life gets more complicated when she takes up with none other than Chokri, a percussionist at the club who is unaware of the almost incestuous nature of his fling. Amari, who is also the screenwriter, ties up all the loose ends without exactly resorting to happily-ever-after. In fact, her ending is ambiguous enough to allow for a sequel. Satin Rouge, which delves into a curious cultural phenomenon half a world away, makes the further adventures of Lilia seem like an entertaining prospect.

Bauche), he relentlessly tries to convince the girl to flee her abusive marriage to his own brother, a petty thief played by Mario Perez. To pay for their theoretical bus trip

V TU MAMA

TAMBIEN

out of town, Octavio enters the family pooch in brutal fights. Anyone with a pet might have some difficulty watching these scenes, despite the director's careful editing and assurance in the closing credits that no animals were actually harmed. Despite some early winnings, Octavio's plan fails and leads to a car accident that involves a stunning model, Valeria (Goya Toledo). Her tale is, in some ways, the most harrowing of the three bleak chapters in this tragedy. She has just moved in with her married boyfriend when fate cruelly intervenes. Valeria's tiny Lhasa Apso, Richie, figures significantly in the downward spiral of her once-perfect life. The third segment wraps itself around the first two, although that connection is not immediately apparent. El Chivo (Emilio Echevarria), a disillusioned guerrilla who served time in prison, lives in squalor with several canines and earns money as a hit man. One such assignment unravels just as his parental past comes back to haunt him. In this case, it's fatherly rather than conjugal affection that is at stake. Love might be a bitch, but Amores Perros is a reminder that human beings are often prone to beastly behavior. ©

Time for another round of everybody's favorite film-related game. This week what we'd like you to do is pick out of the following story lines the ones we've taken from actual movies and the ones we've just plain made up. If they're real, write "plot." If they're figments of our imagination, jot "not."

Super. By the way, my wife was hoping that you'd bring our cockatiels with you... along with the two paper bags of ransom money we gave you for their safe return.

BY ROB BRE7.SNY DECEMBER

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): "Expect the unexpected or you won't find it." That's an epigram formulated by the ancient Greek sage Heraclitus; it's also the name of a book by creativity expert Roger Von Oech; and now it's the centerpiece of your horoscope, Aries. As smart as you are, your steel-trap mind sometimes closes prematurely. And you can't afford to let that happen now. Open your expectations as wide as they'll go. Be as fresh and innocent as you can stand to be. Make yourself fully available for the novel fun that's brewing at the frontiers of your world.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): "I have not used my darkness well," mourns poet Stanley Moss in his book, Asleep in the Garden. He's right about that. His forays into the realm of shadows lead to precious litde redemption. "One fine day / I shall fall down... in a prison of anger," he moans in one poem. "In this country I planted not one seed," he announces elsewhere. Other samples: "Vomit is the speech of the soul;" "We die misinformed;" "How goes a life? Something like the ocean / building dead coral." But enough. Suffice it to say that Moss is your anti-role model for the coming week, Taurus. Treat your darkness as a source of disguised treasure; as a repository of raw material that will fuel future breakthroughs; as a place where you go to practice the high art of redemption.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The astrological moment is ripe for a wedding, Gemini. It doesn't have to be a traditional union of two lovers, though that would be a fine way to satisfy the cosmic mandate. Here are other forms your ritual merger might

take: You could get "married" to your muse; you and a soul friend might pledge your undying platonic love and mutual support; you could link yourself with a symbol that you want to serve as your guiding light; you may even want to tie the knot with your favorite power tool, animal companion, or sacred place. The important point is to fully engage your imagination as you marry your fortunes to someone or something that lifts you up out of yourself.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I've worked hard at learning to love all the astrological signs equally. When I launched this column years ago, I confess I had favorites, but since then I've forged myself into a paragon of objectivity. Having said that, I admit that I still understand one tribe best: my own sign, Cancer. I've also accumulated evidence that the twists and turns of my life story often have parallels to the destinies of my fellow Crabs. That's why I recommend that you proceed as if you'll soon be awash in fresh ideas about how to reinvent your work and make adjustments in your longterm job strategies. Over the years I've often crystallized new career goals in the weeks before the solstice. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): If I'm reading the astrological omens correctly, Leo, you're currently as foxy and irresistible as it's possible for you to be. So what are you going to do about it? Sit back on your throne and wait for all your adoring subjects to come to you bearing gifts? O r will you explore far and wide through your kingdom, aggressively plucking the finest blessings from the most radiant and talented virtuosos? If the decision were up to me, I'd opt for the latter. I'd urge you to get out

there and hunt down aerobic acts of enjoyment with those who can match your passion.

celebration / is not easy." I'd like to extend that description to the Scorpio tribe. N o one labors harder than you to uncover the secret thrills that life holds in its hidden depths; and sometimes, during your meticulous investigations, you almost forget how to laugh. Yet with each passing year, you refine your capacity for mysterious delight; you become more skilled at transforming your life into a festive masterpiece. I predict that the coming weeks will bring a breakthrough in that heroic, slow-motion process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The choice between seeking mere survival and stalking interesting success will be thrust in your face again and again in 2003, Virgo. I'm sure you're already getting a taste of the intensity. Here's my suggestion for what you can do to get yourself in good shape for it: Become very clear about your deep inner definition of success, as opposed to the superficial, inappropriate and deceptive definitions that various people have tried to foist on you over the years. Here's your future rallying cry: Be your own

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're living large these days, Sagittarius. I predict that your life will have synchronistic resonance with several historical events. For instance, December 6, 1933 was the first day in 13 years Americans could legally drink alcoholic beverages, and December 6, 2002 will bring the end of a noxious prohibition for you. O n December 7, 1988, Soviet President Gorbachev eliminated 500,000 troops from his military forces, and any minute now you'll lower your own defenses. O n December 9, 1793, Noah Webster created New York's first daily newspaper, and you're about to upgrade your ability to communicate.

genie in 2003.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I were going to treat you to dinner this week, which of the following two meals would you prefer? 1. A dab of Ostera caviar, a smidgen of carrot flan, a toasted fennel cracker, a dollop of wild rice, a half cup of cannelloni bean soup, a few shiitake mushrooms and a small plate of endive and candied walnut salad. 2. A man's size sirloin steak smothered in onions and mashed potatoes with gravy. As I'm sure you've guessed, Libra, this is a trick question. The correct answer — if you'd like to be in maximum alignment with astrological energies, that is — is the first option. The same goes for most other areas of your life. If given a choice, always opt for bite-sized portions of a variety of novel tastes instead of a large helping of familiar fillers.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Let me state upfront, Capricorn, that I don't agree with most of the reasons you're being so hard on yourself. But since you seem impossible to dissuade, the best way to get your disgruntlement out of your system may be to just go ahead and flagellate yourself. May I suggest, though, that you try a variety of whips that'll make you laugh a little even as you cry? A strand of cooked linguini would be an ideal instru-

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You're in the pump-up-your-personal-power phase of your cycle, Pisces. Please say the following affirmations. 1. "I am extremely successful in everything I do." 2. "I possess an inexhaustible supply of creative energy." 3. "The universe is generous and gives me everything I need." While these sweetly generic statements will be effective, they don't go far enough for a lyrical maverick like yourself. I suggest, then, that you add these more evocative affirmations. 4. "Every day I learn more about how to steal the peaches of immortality from the King of Dragons." 5. "I spit on the shoes of manipulative power mongers even as I dance for crazy delight in celebration of my i liberated perceptions." 6. "I know 0 exactly why poet Emily Dickinson " wrote 'Soul at the White Heat,' not 'Ego at the White Heat.'" ®

18): Columnist L.M. Boyd once noted that women tend to rebel privately and conform publicly, while men are more inclined to rebel publicly but conform privately. If you fit either description, Aquarius, an adjustment is now in order. The cosmic omens suggest that you will be most successful this week if you rebel both privately and publicly. Not just any old cranky uprising will do the trick, though. You should strive to express your dissent with cheerful compassion. Put a smile in your defiance. Be benevolently joyful as you overthrow the status quo.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am a young woman who has just started dating. I was recently spending time with a nice young man when kisses led to cuddles and I found myself face down in his lap. Though this was an entirely new experience for me, I was game and eager to please. But after a while my date pushed my face away and asked me to use my hand instead. He said I was "mousing." I've heard of a handshake leading to a kiss, but never a kiss leading to a handshake. Please explain. He was very nice about the whole thing, but I'm afraid that if I don't wise up pretty quickly, III be kissing this budding romance goodbye. Worried in Westford Dear Worried, Imagine a mouse and a piece of parmesan. Because of the rodent's limited oral capacity, it can only nibble at the edges. You, however, have the ability to accommodate the entire piece at once â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least take in as much as you can, and let your hand take care of the rest. Nibbling at the cheese is fine for hors d ' o e u v r e s , but eventually you need to get down to the meal. Love, Lola
