GOT SMUT?

How many times has it been said, “There’s the real Vermont and then there is Chittenden County.” The December 10 issue of Seven Days sure confirms this saying. “Talk Dirty to Us: Seven Days Sex Survey” is Chittenden County at its finest. I am no prude, but this garbage, in a free paper that many tourists pick up, is reaching for the lowest denominator in Vermont. I guess I will have to find another way to enjoy Peter Freyne, as this paper is becoming a trash rag and I can do without.

DO THE WRITE THING

As a former teacher of maximumsecurity prisoners, Stephen Long [“Letters,” December 3] brings authentic credentials and thoughtful arguments to his critique ofTheo Padnos’ relationship to, and forth coming book about, the young Vermont inmate Laird Stanard [“Murder, He Wrote,” November 12]. The ethical questions raised by a jail teacher’s forming a friendship with an inmate, and then writing about it, are inescapable. Mr. Long deserves respect both for his com mitment to the service he performed at the prison in Santa Fe, and for his passionate insistence that prisoners not be exploited by those who gain ~ access to their world. But this does not mean that the , questions he raises imply clear-cut answers, or a set of inflexible rules, and 1 was sorry to see Mr. Long’s anger propel him from territory he understands into territory he does not. He is not entitled to indict Padnos as an exploiter, as a transgres

sor worse than a psychiatrist who has an affair with a patient, as an oppor tunist looking to “jump-start” his writing career with a six-figure book contract. These accusations are unin formed, they are gratuitous in the worst traditions of public debate in contemporary America, and they are wrong. I know something about Padnos’ motivations, because I discussed this project with him many times during its formative stages. I have read his manuscript through several draft revisions and in its present form. The word “exploitation” does not fit with any of those conversations, nor with any of the book’s extraordinary passages of observation and report age (not to mention emotional engagement and self-criticism). What Padnos has produced — and this may or may not pre-empt the ethical considerations that Mr. Long has raised — is a profound work of personal witness in the tra dition of Barbara Ehrenreich, Ted Conover and Tim O ’Brien, among rcurrent writers; and, before them, James Agee, George Orwell and Maxim Gorky. These writers lead us almost against our will into places we would vastly prefer not to go; but by the hard grace of their determina tion to confront what Agee called “the cruel radiance of what is,” they leave us forever implicated in tllSfc.. , places; an d in So d oing, they hold out h o p e /

Theo Padnos did not go ipto the Woodstock Correctional Facility looking to write a book for six fig ures. He went there for reasons that perhaps resonate with Stephen Long’s own: to support himself by teaching literature, and its regenera tive power, to the dispossessed and

> the forgotten. While there, he met young men whose stories over whelmed him with horror, and also with a sense of recognition: many of them seemed to be only slightly altered versions of himself. His friendship with Laird Stanard grew out of an extreme pitch of these feel ings, and was probably inevitable, given the power of Padnos’ empathy. His early writings about this friendship were in the form of notes to himself, efforts to understand the bonds of alienation and apocalyptic despair that united him with this boy. When Padnos decided to enlarge these notes into a book, he first obtained the permission of both Laird and Laird’s father. I cannot conceive how anyone reading the book that resulted will be able to overlook its abiding compassion for the characters in it, the unparalleled evocation of the hell to which (justly or otherwise) they have been ban ished, and the warning that can issue only from the spaces where people are gathered who have already decid ed there nothing left to lose. James Agee — $yhose Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is^the., greatest American model for the literature of personal witness —.encountered 5 much the same criticism that

shsfrecropper families who were his subjects felt for years afterward that Vcre entitled to, some of tte profits that Agee had reaped bn tys book. (When Agee died in 1955 at age 46, the book had sold 60Q copies, and he considered it a failure. Only when Houghton Mifflin re issued it in 1960 did it attain#ignificant sales.) % * T But Agee’s book is now recog-

nized as the fountainhead of a social literature that flourished until the end of the Vietnam War and pre saged the contributions of such peo ple as David Halberstam, Norman Mailer, Dan Wakefield and Joan Didion. Agee understood very well that he was “transgressing” as he inventoried the threadbare homes of his Alabama hosts, calling himself a “cold-laboring spy.” Yet his book changed American literature, bring ing to it the moral power of personal witness in spaces where people have nothing left to lose. Theo Padnos has acknowledged,

and has to answer to, the same thorny ethical questions that Agee acknowl edged, and was answerable to. Perhaps a consensus will emerge that judges A Loaded Gun transgressive. But I would ask this of Stephen Long and others who will condemn this book on similar grounds: Consider the culture that we live in — a cul ture that runs on cruelty, a culture that pays attention to the criminaljustice system only when a Michael Jackson or an O.J. Simpson is involved; a culture that has embraced “exploitation,” especially the exploita tion of the young, as a marketing

virtue; a culture anesthetized in syn thetic emotion and trivial passion. And ask yourself, given that context, if Theo Padnos has done such a horri ble thing after all.

NO NUKES It’s time for us to be concerned about nuclear weapons at home — as well as in Iraq. Congress is about to pass a bill approving construction of mini nuclear weapons, designed for use in the battlefield. I, for one, think this is a mistake. America

should be taking the international lead in calling for nuclear disarma ment. We shouldn’t be building new nuclear weapons at home and denouncing them abroad. It’s time for our country to step forward and insist on a world free of nuclear bombs. As a first step in this direc tion, the plan to build miniature nukes should be voted down.

HOING FOR HO-HO While I’m sure that there’s some rationale for Peter Freyne’s conver sion from Dean critic to pom-pomwaving supporter, his assertion [“Inside Track,” December 10] that the Boston Globe “has had a favorite son from the get-go — Sen. John Kerry” is utterly absurd. Any casual reader of that paper knows that its relationship with Kerry is testy at best. If there’s a favorite son to be found in New England, it’s surely Peter’s newly adopted Howard.

Roy C. Towlen UNDERHILL CENTER

INSIDE WHAT? Week after week I read Peter Freyne’s column [“Inside Track”] in Seven Days. Week after week the Howard Dean report becomes more and more effusive. It is apparent that Mr. Freyne has his head firmly implanted up Howard Dean’s ass. This begs the question, does Peter check for polyps while there?

mix in Vermont. Vermonters have stood behind our delegation in their efforts to prevent mercury pollution in Lake Champlain, in their battle to prevent the weakening of the Bush Administration’s Clear Skies Pro gram, in their leadership on working towards reducing greenhouse gasses, in their votes against a misguided Energy Bill from passing through the Senate, and in protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling. We realize that our dependence on fossil fuels is threatening our last remaining wild places, leading to the destruction of Vermont’s forests from acid rain, poisoning the fish we catch and eat, fouling the air we breathe and impacting our health. We now have the opportunity to displace*dirty fossil-fuel electricity with clean, renewable and native wind energy. Wind-energy developers are propos ing five sites in Vermont for wind farms. Combined, these five sites could generate enough electricity to provide enough electricity for 48,000 homes. Not a single air pollutant will be emitted from the wind turbines. No mercury will be dumped into Lake Champlain because of the wind farms. The wind turbines won’t add to our acid rain problem that’s killing our trees and degrading trout streams. The wind turbines will dis place 54,000 cars’ worth of green house gasses from entering the atmosphere. I encourage Vermonters to sup port wind energy as the most envi ronmentally friendly electric genera tion available.

re you ready? Strap on that seat belt and let’s take a spin through the Vermont politi cal year of 2003. W ithout question, it was the Year of

Howard Dean, during which the Vermont former governor’s name became nearly as familiar across the nation as those o f two other New York City-to-Vermont trans plants who migrated north to make the worlds best ice cream. O f course, Dr. Dean wasn’t the only hot story of 2003. Beyond the earth-shattering, we’ve also focused on the sublime, the ugly and the ridiculous.

Mayor Peter Clavelle cruising towards a March reelection with the endorsements of both the Progressive and D*m®cra^parties. Mayor Moonie was out to become the “fusion” candidate. Little did we know then that Clavelle would announce his run for governor in the fall. At the time, “Inside Track’^uncovered a back-channel scheme launched by Clavelle’s Republican nemesis Kurt Wright. Kwik Stop Kurt was trying to get a “real” '■ Democrat to challenge Clavelle in the March election. Before it was over, we reported, even our favorite presidential hopeful got involved. ' It was obvious to Kwik Stop Kurt that the only way to defeat Clavelle was to encourage a Democrat to run as an Independent, reasoning that Progressive Pete had unfairly swiped the Democratic endorsementfrom Democrat

Andy Montroll.

\ >

Kwik Stop drew up a list o f possible candi dates. He told yours truly that Bill Keogh, a city councilor and state rep, as well as form er city councilor Maurice Mahoney turned him down. B ut his third choice, Ward 1 City Councilor Ian Carleton did not. uVd noticed,”said Wright, “that Ian had s . *J h & p® k ” Carktony an attorney a t Hoff Curtis. Holding up his

thumb and forefinger so close they were almost touching, Wright said, “Ian was ready to go. ” Wright told Carleton he would make sure there was no Republican candidate to split the vote. A nd he promised to work hard to get out the ABC (Anybody But Clavelle) vote in his home turf, the city's New North End. Everything was proceeding according to plan when, suddenly, said Wright, Lord Carleton got cold feet. Wright said that outgoing Democratic Gov. Howard Dean weighed in. Dean told Carleton to drop it. It would not be goodfo r the Democratic Party and it would not be goodfo r Carleton’s career. Carleton confirmed the scheme, but denied he was as close to running as Kwik Stop indi cated. He told yours truly that in the days fo l lowing Clavelle's victory a t the December Democratic Caucus, many people, including Republicans and'disgruntled Democrats, had urged him to run. “There were so many moving parts to this, ” said Carleton, “and the moving parts were not coming together. ”He said he “was not going to go o ff half-cocked. ” Carleton also noted he is the Chittenden County Democratic Chairman. “Obviously, ” he said, “I had to take my position in the party seriously. ” But Carleton declined to say i f Gov. Dean had discouraged him from running. One source told us that Dean had promised to per sonally line up the Burlington business com munity behind Clavelle i f Carleton entered the race. Nice of Ho-Ho to take the time, eh? In January Dean opened a campaign headquarters on St. Paul Street above the Vermont Pub and Brewery. A couple of desks, a secondhand couch and six bedrag gled staffers. He’d been ablfc to faisq just $157,000. The W hite Hotjse seemdd a long way off.

Howard Dean merged into the fast lane. All of a sudden, he was the guy everyone was talking about on the Sunday news pro grams. On “Face the Nation, ” CBS’chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer and Time magazine columnist Joe Klein were mesmerized by Dean’s rip-roaring speech to the Democratic National Committee. What got their attention was the way HoHo had stepped before the party faithful, accused party leaders o f copying the Bush Republicans and declared, “I ’m Howard Dean and I want to represent the Democratic wing o f the Democratic Party. ” The audience went bananas! In fact, Dean got more standing ovations than all the other candidates combined. Said Klein: “Howard Dean came in and he ju st blew those people away. It was one o f IN S ID E T R A C K »

Call this number.” The call summoned a driver with an emergency delivery. F u r S u r e Pubic hair transplants are the latest fad in South Korea. “In the West, women try to reduce their genital hair as much as possible, but in Korea the trend is for forestation,” Afschin Fatemi, a surgeon in Unna, Germany, told Reuters.

Moraes answered and ended up having a vasectomy. “He was called by the full name and yet thought it was him,” Vanessa Guimaraes, the manager of the clinic, said. “But the strangest thing is that he asked no questions when the doctor started preparations in the area, which had little to do with his ear. He later explained that he thought it was an ear inflammation that got down to his testicles.”

“that he needed to jump from a moving car so he could have a traumatic incident in his life so he could get a tattoo.” • When a cell phone rang in a Charleston, South Carolina, courtroom during a sen tencing hearing, spectator Lashenda Floyd, 25, tried to rush outside to take the call, but Circuit Judge Markley Dennis ordered deputies to detain her. After sentencing the defendant to life in prison, Dennis turned to Floyd and asked if she had seen signs posted throughout the Charleston County Judicial Center warning visitors to switch off their phones. When she admitted that she had, Dennis sentenced her to two nights in jail for contempt of court.

According to his mother, the victim, now 22, was awaiting transport to court when he spot ted Kinder across the cell “and just snapped.” “When you’re in the jail under charges,” sheriff’s Lt. Rod Reder said, “we don’t ask you if you’ve ever been a victim of a crime and could there be anyone in here that victimized you.”

M a k i n g t h e C u t The International Olympic Committee ruled that athletes who have undergone sex-change opera tions would be eligible to compete in the Olympics. The new rule covers both maleto-female and female-to-male cases. “We will have no discrimination,” IOC medical director Patrick Schamasch declared. Adding that he didn’t know whether any potential transsexual athletes were waiting to compete in next summer’s Athens games, Schamasch explained, “We need to be proactive.” L e s s e r o f T w o E v ils a 20-year-old man broke into an apartment in Piqua, Ohio, intending to burglarize it but turned himself in to police after finding a tackle box containing photos of nude or partially nude young girls, including his 4-year-old sister. Police arrested the tenant, Richard Yearsley, 51, a registered sex offender who faces a life sentence. They referred the 20year-old man’s case to prosecutors to deter mine charges, noting that he admitted doing wrong but said “he knew that Yearsley was involved in something much worse and had to be stopped.” T r a s h T a l k i n g Berlin will add speech capability to some of the German capital’s 20,000 street-side wastebaskets. “We want to encourage people in a nice, funny way to throw their trash in the baskets and not on the street,” official Bernd Mueller said, explaining that the talking trash cans, powered by solar cells, are meant to show that Berlin is “a modern city with hightech services and that is also very cosmo politan.” Some of the wastebaskets will be programmed to say “Thank you” or “Merci” instead of “Danke.” ®

R evelatio n s a n d R e s o lu tio n s e’re coming to the end of that artificial con struct known as the calendar year, which means it’s time for journalists to look back in anger or wistfulness or whatever, and do a Year in Review. That’s my task — complicated by the fact that not all of my year was spent here. I arrived in Burlington in mid-April from Philadelphia, where I was a newspaper editor and an actor. Except for a few not-so-brief interludes — four weeks in a theater work shop in Saratoga, acting in a show in Waitsfield, getting civilly united — I’ve been steadily reviewing plays for Seven Days ever since. For a much shorter time — since late

Melinda Moulton’s Lake & College Redevelopment Project comes fully to fruition . . . I’ve been consistently surprised by the ambitious, quality work of area stagedesigners and technicians, whose creations ranged from a book-lined Scandinavian retreat (Northern Stage) to a Chicago rowhome (Lost Nation) to an on-stage swimming pool (UVM) . . . Models of theatrical togeth erness this year included the ensembles in Abundance at the Flynn; the four “boys” in The Boys Next Door at St. Michael's Playhouse; the comedy team of Aaron Masi and Paul J. Soychak in Steve Goldberg’s Don and Tom; the undergrad cast of UVM’s Terezin: Remember the Children; the family in A Child’s Christmas in Wales at VSC. And we saw the perfect Proof cast, except that it was split between two productions: Ericka Kreutz and Stephen Bradbury at Vermont Stage, Kate Sandberg and Steven Walters at Lost Nation . . . Amidst all this fine group work, here are two virtuosic single performers I’ll remember: Jana Beagley as the title canine in Sylvia at Stowe Theater Guild, and rd"as 38 r— or was it 39? — in Weston’s Fully Committed rirst I didn’t get Rusty DeWees. I’d only read his column in Vermont Times and had the same reaction to both column and newspaper: What’s up with that? Then I saw him on video in The Logger and figured out the source of his appeal: He’s a very good actor. By that time, I’d figured out some Vermonters actually talk like that. Plus, he looks good naked. (What, you don’t have the calepdar?) I had the great good luck to have Fleming Museum Director Janie Cohen as my guide to the extraordinary Rembrandt etch ing show. Her commentary was memo rable not just because of her expertise but because of her delight: She still seemed as astonished as a first-time viewer at the painstaking genius that created these small

the local choreoOctober — I’ve been writing this column, a so-far pale imitation of co-editor Paula Routly’s “Mixed Media.” So — fair warning — my perspective on Vermont Arts 2003 is a bit skewed. It’s a little more theater-centric, and a little more flatlandish, than it will be after a few more months, or years. That said, here goes: mem ories, observations and unanswered questions about the year that was, in arts, culture and baked goods. Maybe it’s the schools, maybe it’s the com munity theater training, maybe it’s in the water; for whatever reason, there seems to be a stock of surprisingly good young actors in these parts. Sometimes, as in To Kill a Mockingbird at Vermont Stage or The Childrens Hour at Lost Nation, they out-act their elders . . . I’ve got a barn, let’s put on a show: I thought it was a cliche. Came here, found out it was a fact of life. And for every theater in a barn (Unadilla, Bread and Puppet, Skinner), there’s one in a town hall. Charm galore, not to mention points for historic preservation. But all this begs the question: Where’s the next new theater space going, to-be? On the waterfront? Maybe, if

I’m about to experience my first First Night. But I’m wondering: In a city so festive, why is there no performing arts festival that lasts longer than a day? A week, two weeks. An Art Hop for theater, dance, performance art? . . . Speaking of Art Hop: Could we have it more than once a year? Brighten up mud season, perhaps?

Hampshire college’s ingenious intermingling of student life (mailroom, snack bars) and student arts (studios with big windows, theaters around every corner, art on dis play)? Time will tell. Food: My partner and I were pleased and surprised by how many good restaurants there are the Burlington area, but our hearts were stolen early on by the siren of Ferrisburgh: the urbane yet homey Starry N ight .. . As my fellow Seven Days contributor Sarah Tuff pointed out recendy, Burlington is a Mecca for Atkins avoiders. I have happily carbo-loaded at Stone Soup,

Mirabelles, Uncommon Grounds and Fresh Market, as well as Eat Good Food in Vergennes — but nothing compares with that big hunk of fresh-baked, still-warm bread they hand out at Great Harvest on Pine Street, just for walking in the door. What I’ve learned about local radio: Whenever The Point announces “new music,” you can be sure it’ll be something you’ve already heard 17 times. Whenever I want to hear really new music, or just the kind of creative DJ-ing that makes me think I died and went to FM heaven — I listen to WRUV. Parking is hell. And that’s com ing from someone who had to park

winning and the arts losing? Not exactly. “The gallery’s doing great,” says Doll. “We sold 81 paintings this year, which in this economy is great.” But his partners thought it would be more cost-effective to house the law firm in the bigger space, while the gallery could bear some “streamlining.” Ellen McCullough-Lovell, head of the Vermont Arts Council from 1975-83, returns to the state in April to become president of Marlboro College. And look at what she’s been doing for the last 20 years: chief of staff to Sen. Leahy, seven years in the Clinton administration, head of a small cultural-policy think tank. Senator Hillary herself sent congrats.

Wish Lists When I emailed notable figures in the regional arts community asking for predictions and/or wishes for 2004, I knew there was a risk I’d have to slog through reams of self-promotional boiler plate. And yes, my outreach did yield a fair amount of institutional rhetoric, plus a few sales pitches and multiple pleas for peace. But it also generated some distinctive state ments of what it means to make art in Vermont and in the world. “I pray for greater understand-

In a city so festive, why is there no performing arts festival that lasts longer than a day? A week, two w eeks... An ArtHop for theater; dance; performance art? the tiny streets of Philly. Love the two hours of free parking in the downtown garages, though. Don’t love that they’re usually full.

ing of the cosmic role of music in our daily lives,” wrote Francois Clemmons, Middlebury College’s choral powerhouse, who signed his email “CzarinaHoneyManMidd ivoRevDr.MaestroFrancois S. Clemmons, etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Midd dance program chair Penny Campbell wished for “a lit eracy that helps all of us to encounter art that is new to us, without fear; art for which we are not prepared. That is the art of the future.” According to Fleming director Cohen, we’ll have plenty of oppor tunity for such encounters: “I pre dict that the visual arts in Burling ton will reach new heights of beauty, drama, scholarship, exqjieism and quirkiness this year, this, I have inside inform! For some, the hopes more concrete — or bricks-anc mortar. The Catalyst Theater

Peering into the future... Look for some fresh curatorial vision in town next year. The Fleming’s Cohen is adding a curator to the museum staff in the near future — she’s interviewing candidates in NYC next month and hopes to have a selection made by February. And Burlington City Arts Executive Director Doreen Kraft hopes to have hired a new curator by April for the Firehouse Gallery, replacing Pascal Spengemann. The guiding force behind the Firehouse for the last five and a half years, Spengemann is in his second year in a master’s program at Bard, and this fall opened a small gallery in Chelsea (Manhattan). He will take part in the curator search. Kraft is hoping Company’s Veronica Lopez to find “Pascal plus.” “You always wants the theater community to want to imagine somebody like urge City Council and the state him who had an incredible civic legislature to create “an accessible understanding of the gallery,” she dedicated performance space in says, as well as a highly developed Burlington.” aesthetic . . The Doll-Anstadt Burlington City Arts’ Kraft came Gallery at 91 College Street is up with a whole list of wishful pre closing its doors Dec. 31 in order dictions: that her agency “will finish to switch places with the law firm their capital campaign and complete next door. Gallery curator the Firehouse Center for the Visual Stephen Doll says his business , Arts... that every child in Vermont partners Ruby and Jay Anstadt, becomes visually literate... that who own both buildings, made the Pascal Spengemann comes home to*' offer to Shems Dunkiel & Kassel . Vermont... that 20 art galleries fill because they were looking for a the streets of Burlington, making it bigger space.

has big dreams, too. “My fondest wish for Vermont... is for a gaggle of immensely creative Vermonters to come together to launch an ani mation studio. The State of Ver mont would throw in some seed money to help cover the technolog ical outfitting... We’d all work in the barn that shines with the newest hi-tech equipment, with a swimming pond and a few Morgan horses and lots of dogs in the door ways. And American Flatbread for lunch every day.” Vermont Stage Artistic Director Mark Nash quoted Vaclav Havel: ‘“Only by looking outward, by car ing for things that in terms of pure survival one needn’t bother with at all... only by throwing oneself over and over again into the tumult of this world, with the intention of making one’s voice count — only thus does one really become a per son, a being capable of a miracle: the recreation of the world.’” In other words, says Nash, he hopes people will remake the world by making arts. Arnie Malina and Alex Aldrich also have a world leader on their minds — at least a poten tial world leader. “My wish (fanta sy) is that our next president, Howard Dean, will become an enlightened supporter of the arts,” wrote Malina, artistic director of the Flynn. And Aldrich, executive director of the VAC, conjured up a complete Dean scenario: “My prediction is that on the Saturday before Super Tuesday, presidential candidate Howard Dean will be so sick of low-country Southern cooking that he will duck into a local Chinese restaurant for a healthier meal, and open a fortune cookie that reads ‘Life imitates Art.’ He will interpret this as a sign that his presidential aspirations are about to be fulfilled, but even more important — he will suddenly have an epiphany that Cultural Diplomacy will win the War on Terrorism and that heavy invest ment in our country’s cultural infrastructure will rescue our econ omy.” Artist Jane Horner got down to basics: “More people should draw and paint, sing and dance, plant flowers and trees, wash their windows — instead of squabbling and complaining all the time.” Judy Raven, director of Shelburne Craft School and Gallery on the Green, waxed poetic: “I look forward to 2004/ when Art comes knocking/and we open the door./We’re done with TV/our new tube is paint./ Shop ping is over, consumers we ain’t./So we pick up a brush, or a lump of clay,/a camera, a chisel,/we’ve some thing to say!/And all through the year/Art keeps us alive,/and that’s how we make it/ till 2005.” But I’ll give Flynn Programming Manager Aimee Petrin the last word. It’s not exactly her wish for the future, but instead the epigraph that she attaches to her emails. A quote from Merce Cunningham, it seems like the perfect sentiment with which to begio-a neut-year»- The mornih£ light on tfie veranda is rich, gaudy and generous. Face the day, pumpkins! Crack the shell the way the chicks.4a.” © .

Dear Cecil, In what language do deafpeople think? I think in English, because that’s what I speak. But since deafpeo ple cannot hear, they cant learn how to speak a lan guage. Nevertheless, they must think in some language. Would they think in English i f they use sign language and read English? How would they do that i f they’ve never heard the words they are signing or reading pro nounced? Or maybe they ju st see words in their head, instead o f hearing themselvesI Cathy Malvern, Pennsylvania

You’re on the right track, kid. But first a little detour. Your speculations raise a larger question: Can you think without language? Answer: Nope, at least not at the level humans are accustomed to. T hat’s why deaf ness can have far more serious consequences than blindness, developmental^ speaking. The blind suffer many hardships, not the least of which is the inability to read in the usual manner. But even those sightless from birth acquire language by ear without difficulty in infancy, and having done so lead relatively ordinary lives. A congenitally deaf child isn’t so lucky: unless someone realizes very early that he’s not talking becduse he can’t hear, his grasp of communication may never progress beyond the rudiments. The language of the deaf is a vast topic that has filled lots of books — one of the best is Seeing Voices: A Journey Into the World o f the D eafby Oliver Sacks (1989). A in can do in this venue is sketch out a few basic propositions: The folks at issue here are both (a) profoundly and (b) prelingually deaf. l% o u don’t become totally deaf until after you’ve acquired language, your problems are... well, not minor, but manageable. You think in whatever spoken language you’ve learned. Given some common-sense accommodation during schooling, you’ll progress normally intellectually. Depending on circumstances, you may be able to speak and lip-read. About one child in a thousand, however, is born with no ability to hear whatsoever. Years ago such people were called deaf-mutes. Often they were con sidered retarded, and in a sense they were: They’d never learned language, a process that primes the pump for much later development. The critical age range seems to be 21 to 36 months. During this peri~ od children pick up the basics of language easily, and in so doing establish essential cognitive infrastructure. Later on it’s far more difficult. If the congenitally deaf aren’t diagnosed before they start school, they may

face severe learning problems for the rest of their lives, even if in other respects their intelligence is normal. The profoundly, prelingually deaf can and do acquire language; it’s just gestural rather than verbal. The sign language most commonly used in the U.S. is American Sign Language, sometimes called Ameslan or just Sign. Those not conversant in Sign may sup pose that it’s an invented form of communication like Esperanto or Morse code. It’s not. It’s an independent natural language, evolved by ordinary people and transmitted culturally from one generation to the next. It bears no relationship to English and in some ways is more similar to Chinese — a single highly inflected gesture can convey an entire word or phrase. (Signed English, in which you’ll sometimes see words spelled out one letter at a time, is a completely differ ent animal.) Sign can be acquired effortlessly in early childhood — and by anyone, not just the deaf (e.g., hearing children of deaf parents). Those who do so use it as fluently as most Americans speak English. Sign equips native users with the ability to manipulate symbols, grasp abstractions, and actively acquire and processknowledge — in short, to think, in the full human sense of the term. Nonetheless, “oralists” have long insisted that the best way to educate the deaf is to teach them spoken language, sometimes going so far as to suppress signing. Sacks and many deaf folk think this has been a disaster for deaf people. The answer to your question is now obvious. In what language do the profoundly deaf think? Why, in Sign (or the local equivalent), assuming they were for tunate1enough to have learned it in infancy. The hear tin g can have only a general idea what this is like — the gulf between spoken and visual language is far greater than that between, say, English and Russian. Research suggests that the brain of a native deaf signer is organized differently from that of a hearing person. Still, sometimes we can get a glimpse. Sacks writes of a visit to the island of Martha’s Vineyard, where hereditary deafness was ^{idemic for more than 250 years and a community of signers, most of whom hear normally, still flourishes. He met a woman in her nineties who would sometimes slip into a reverie, her hands moving constantly. According to her daughter, she was thinking in Sign. “Even in sleep, I was further informed, the old lady might sketch fragmentary signs on the counterpane,” Sacks writes. “She was dreaming in Sign.”

A P R IL It was a dark month. Little talk of the new baseball season. People flew American flags out their car windows to show their team spirit. WCAX-TV showed its team spirit with a disturbing report about antiwar protesters throwing rocks at a female Vermont Guard soldier in central Vermont. “Inside Track” looked into it. Ch. 3 reporter Brian Joyce told viewers, “The most disturbing complaint came last Friday, the day o f this protest in Montpelier. A female sergeant claims she was con fronted by teenagers outside a con venience store near Plainfield. Lt. Col. Scott Stirewalt described the incident. “A s she was walking to her car, ” said Stirewalt, “there were various profanities directed in her direction along the line o f [profanity] murder er, [profanity] baby killer, and then it culminated when some o f the individuals threw rocks at her and, as testament to her discipline and professionalism, she got in her car and left the area. ” Threw rocks at a female Vermont National Guard soldier? Hurry up, Ma, load the musket while I saddle the horse. These damn peaceniks have gone too far! By Friday, the story o f Vermont peace protesters stoning a soldier in uniform went national on Fox News. A t Sunday’s Burlington demo in support o f the president and the troops, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie told the crowd he’d received 25 angry emails from around the country since Fox broadcast their report. One demonstrator carried a sign, “Peaceniks Stop Harassing V T Guard. ” B ut the most disturbing part is that, one week after the allegations surfaced, they remain completely and totally unsubstantiated. The Vermont Guard has declined to present any evidence whatsoever that the rock-throwing, profanity-hurling or “spitting" ever really happened. In fact, since W CAX’s first report, the story has changed. By Friday the location o f the “rock throwing”changedfrom a conven ience store near Plainfield to the Shaw’s supermarket in downtown Montpelier. The teenagers were identified as students from Twinfield Union High School who were in Montpelier that day to attend an antiwar protest.

Joe Trippi is no LSD guru, but Django Koenig, age 15, he sure was feeling pretty high this denied that any students ever cursed week about the performance o f his or threw stones at the “Guard lady” boss in the Democratic presidential who passed by them as she left candidates’debate in Columbia, Shaw’s.

That explains why Ho-Ho’s spent more time in Iowa in the last year than in Vermont. Trippi was delighted with Dean’s T V debate performance, but he was a little perturbed that most o f the press continues to miss the big story. A nd that story, he said, is that U.S. Sen. John Kerry, the fontrunner, has adopted a clear strategy o f tak ing down Howard Dean! How time flies! At year’s end, Kerry’s campaign is in shambles and Ho-Ho holds a 30-point lead in New Hampshire. This Joe Trippi dude knows what he’s doing, eh?

JUNE It was a big Dean month. The national press was starting to notice the Vermont candidate who had what the Boston Globe called “fire-breathing campaign rheto ric.” Just to make sure, Paul Dean, son of Howard, and a few of his hockey-playing buddies got caught ripping off the outdoor cooler at the Burlington Country Club. It was a reminder that 16-year-olds will do almost anything for a beer. Instead of hurting Dean, the beer bust actually helped him. In a country that knew little of him, the story of a wayward teenage son struck a universal chord

In fact, one reader informed us the incident made the David Letterman show Monday night. In addition, it sparked outrage among Deanocrats. They’re more than a little ticked o ff at Mr. Nader and his Green Party fo r a demon stration o f colossal rudeness at best, dirty tricks at worst. From Burlington to Washington, folks started to think the impossible ju st might be possible.

transferredfrom the copy desk to the position o f editorial writer. She works under the guy from Kansas, editorial-page editor D avid Awbrey. The bus-station project has been her passion. You see, prior to coming to Burlap, Ms. Reid was a city hall reporter and copy editor at the dis tinguished Toronto Star in Ontario, Canada. Ms. Reid told Seven Days that waterfronts are special to her. She well remembers the one she left behind on the shore o f Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto. “I came from a city, ”said Reid, “where the waterfront is all built up

Dwyer attributed Deans success to a Jewish connection between Ho-Ho and the Vermont media? She denied it, but it sure sound ed like a classic Ruth Divyer tongue spasm. The other Vermont critic tapped by Fox was Dwyer acolyte Rep. Frank Mazur o f South Burling ton. Divyer may have gone down in flames in 2000 with ju st 38 percent o f the vote, but the GOP won a majority in the House by playing the gay-bashing card. M azur’s star rose. He’s gone from backbencher to chairman o f the House Transporta tion Committee. Cranky Franky told Fox News

The national press was starting to notice the Vermont candidate who had what the Boston Globe called "fire-breathing campaign rhetoric."

O FF they look at Dean, they see an angry liberal who w ill send them into the wilderness fo r another 25 years. Savior or spoiler, Dean has gone from a second-tier candidate to the man to beat. ” Good instincts, Eleanor.

JULY As everyone knows, the largest daily newspaper in Vermont — The Burlington Free Press — is one of 100 dailies in Gannett’s media empire. Strange paper. The top editors are always from some where else. Most of the reporters, too. You’ll remember that a few years ago during the brouhaha over same-sex marriage, the Freeps never published one editorial on civil unions. Hello? It was only the biggest issue in the state. Praise the Lord and pass the censorship! Suddenly this summer, howev er, the Freeps went on an editorial crusade! The target of the papers edito rial outrage was the city’s longplanned move to turn a crum bling warehouse on Battery Street into a multi-modal transportation center. Apparently, in the view of the Freeps, the commies had gone too far! So why did a newspaper that never wrote one editorial on civil unions in 2000, nor on the nurses’ union drive, nor on the current brouhaha over the Circumferential Highway suddenly weigh in so heavily on the waterfront bus depot? Blame Canada, folks. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense. You see, the five anti-bus-station editorials were the work o f someone few people in Burlington have ever heard of. Susan Reid joined The Burlington Free Press about two years ago. One year ago, Ms. Reid

and there is little public access. ” Susan told yours truly that she and her husband, Bill Anderson, the Freeps’ weekend editor, “ f e ll in love with Vermont a long time ago. ” When the couple saw “an opportu nity here, ”she said, “we wentfor it. ” A nd the last thing Susan Reid w ill allow in her adopted home is fo r the Burlington waterfront to turn into a copy o f the congested Toronto waterfront. We’re saved! No Toronto here! O n the presidential campaign front, Ho-Ho crossed the credibil ity threshhold. His opponents and the press started digging for dirt. In fact, there were so many untruths flying around we wrote a column called “Howard Dean Is Not a Woman!” just to set the record straight. Hee-hee. Recently Fox News, the Bush Campaign’s unofficial T V network, featured two anti-Dean Vermonters. One was the Green M ountain State’s #1 sore loser. The other, a GOP state rep whose career blos somed as a result o f the 2000 civilunions backlash. Ruth Dwyer got trounced by Dean in 1998 and 2000. She then drifted into a T V job with WVNY, the state’s least-watched news opera tion. Mrs. Divyer told Fox News, “Personally, I think [Dean] w ill self-destruct a t some point. When push comes to shove, and he’s under pressure, he w ont make it — he never could. ” Am azing how some people w ill project their greatest shortcomings on their enemies. Because, when push came to shove, GOP hopeful Divyer is the one who self-destruct ed. The two-time loserfrom Thetford is an example o f a politi cian who couldn’t make it “under pressure. ”Remember when Bernie Rome, the guy who lost the GOP prim ary to Ruthless in 1998, said

that Ho-Ho “has a very short tem per. He gets rattled easily, and when he gets rattled he says dumb things. ” A t the Statehouse, M azur is rec ognized as something o f an expert when it comes to “dumb things. ”In January, Frank distinguished him self by introducing a bill that would require poor people on state assis tance to undergo drug testing in order to get their benefits. A true compassionate conservative, eh?

m o r e th a n j u s t a c lo th in g s to r e ..

AUGUST The Dean star continued to rise. Many national pundits who once dismissed Ho-Ho as having no chance were reconsidering. But not in Boston. To the Boston media there is only one god and his name is John Kerry. Incredibly, the headline on the Boston Herald story was “Poll: Kerry has the edge. ”Beneath it ran a photo o f Kerry riding a Harley at an Iowa rally. The lead was “Howard Dean still can’t convince New Hampshire voters he can beat President Bush. ” That was based on one question showing that voters gave Kerry a better chance o f beat ing Bush. One had to jum p all the way down to the ninth paragraph o f the Herald story to glean the real news. Howard Dean won the poll! Ho-Ho defeated Boston’s hometown favorite 28 percent to 25 percent. Sources say other recent private polling backs up Dean’s surge to the top in the Granite State. Folks, i f the Big S tiff with the Ketchup-Heiress Wife can’t hold New Hampshire, he’s finished. ’

A nd great fights they were, too. Republican State Sen. Bill Doyle told the California daily he saw Ho-Ho as “a reasonably conser vative Democrat. ” A nd form er Progressive State Rep. Terry Bouricius p u t the kibosh on the notion that Dean championed equal rights fo r gay couples. Mr. Bouricius told the San Diego paper the issue o f same-sex marriage was “something that was thrust upon him. I think he took the most conservative approach.” You know what? They’re all right! For those o f us in Vermont who know him so well, it’s a delight to watch the press in the other 49 states get hip to the real Howard Dean. The only question is, w ill the millions who flock to the banner o f America’s newest political messiah keep the fa ith when they realize their god is made o f more conserva tive clay? The one story that appeared in “Inside Track” and nowhere else had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the new front in the War on Drugs. We were contacted by a mom whose seventh-grader was dragged into the principals office at the Colchester Middle School, inter rogated, and then put in a private room where he was searched by the school nurse. No drugs were found. We spoke with the kid. The assistant principal, he said, also told him he ought to stop wear ing those baggy clothes. “Ms. Gockley always tells us how it’s not a ghetto school and stuff. She told us like to change how we dress. ” In fact, when his mother later called Gockley, she was told she should change the way her son dressed because “when drugs were found they were often on kids with the baggy-style clothes. ” When she asked what “reason able suspicion”they had to search her son, “Rosie”said she was told the boy had been seen with another child who looked to be under the influence o f drugs. It turned out, said Rosie, that kid was on prescrip tion drugs fo r an ear problem. “I feel he was violated, ”said Rosie. “I t’s not right to do that to a 12-year-old, especially when he wants his mother. I ’d be scared i f I was 12. ” Welcome to M iddle Schoofih Vermont, folks, the new fro n t line in .* the totally failed War on Drugs. A nd you thought kids had constitu tional rights? C ivil liberties? Think again. One veteran crim inal lawyer p u t it this way. “In America today there are three places where you have no rights,”he said: “One is a t the bor der. One is in prison. A nd the other one is inTchool. ” # '. > r

Well, December isn't over yet, but we bet that in the annals o f presi dential politics this m onth will be remembered in Vermont for two little words: Al Gore. The candidate who got the most votes in the 2000 presiden tial election stunned the political world by coming out for Howard Dean of Vermont. Merry Christmas, Ho-Ho! ®

hey say that inside every cynic there’s a frustrated idealist. In Charlotte writer Valerie Hurley’s new novel, the reverse is true. Raine Marie Rassaby, the novel’s heroine, is one o f that fascinating, exasperating breed o f dreamers STORY who makes you want to shout, “Get a grip!” A MARGOT well-off teenager on New York’s Upper West Side, H A R R I S O N Raine is given to statements such as, “I apologize for being an individual and not a flock of sheep.” St. Ursula's W hen asked to iron her clothes, she replies, “I Girls Against would, Daddy, but I met this H indu in the street the Atomic Bomb by V alerie H urley. who says that ironing causes a cruel death to the tiny mites living in the fabric.” Asked about her M acA dam /Cage, 253 p ag es. $ 19. goals, she replies modestly, “Rid the world of nuclear w eapons...

W ILLISTON with rapturous descriptions o f Raines bird-haunted garden, the novel feels a little precious. Despite her obsession with the Holocaust and the A-bomb, Raine lives w hat seems to be a charmed life in a M anhattan brownstone. W ith her distant parents and maternal Greenlandic housekeeper, she’s like an updated, p.c. H arriet the Spy who’s fixated on becoming Helen Caldicott rather than M ata Hari. W hen Raine gets herself arrested for lying across the threshhold o f a military academy in a skeleton cos tume, she looks like an affluent child playing games — no closer to genuine political dis sent than H arriet was to the world o f international espionage. A nd yet, flaky as she can be, Raine won me over. Perhaps it’s because she has the selfawareness to peg herself as “basically a very idealistic and slothful person.” Perhaps it’s because she has a wry sense o f humor, and she’s cynical enough to know w hat she’s up against. N o wide-eyed naif, Raine has been schooled in the darker lessons o f the past by a Slovakian grandm other who hid Jews from the Nazis and, in a defiant postwar gesture, converted to Judaism herself. Like everything else, Judaism is something Raine refuses to do half-way. W hen she reads the Torah and boasts o f finding an O rthodox boyfriend, her m other derisively says “we are »

not Jews, “implying that a cul ture and a past can’t be chosen at will. But if Raines choices seem whimsical at first, she gains a readers sympathy by sticking to them with a stub bornness that ends up getting her banished from her brownstone Garden o f Eden. If Raine is a golden child obsessed w ith evil, A1 Klepatar is the opposite. After a child hood spent in boardinghouses with an alcoholic mother, he has found security in a dream o f life where his beautiful wife Frieda is his savior and he her knight. Fearful o f change and dismissive o f Friedas desire for a child, he wakes one day to find she’s decamped with a younger man in search o f her reproductive destiny. Toward the end o f the novel, Raine notes “reality’s always been a problem” for both o f them. The prose o f St. Ursulas Girls is as lush as Raines gar den, and it has hints o f the poetic style o f her namesake, Rainer Maria Rilke. Hurley’s descriptions often take the form o f long series o f nouns that flood our senses. The nar rative voice is never far from Raines own.

W hile Raines personality gives the novel its distinctive tone, she does strain plausibili ty at times. H er insights can be extremely perspicacious for an 18-year-old — perhaps too m uch so — and her fixation on nuclear weapons smacks more o f a C old War sensibility than o f a teenager in 1998. (Admittedly, St. Ursula’s Girls Against Global W arming does n’t have the same comic ring to it.) But Hurley compels us to believe in her characters by making the ongoing dialogue between A1 and Raine fresh, candid, snappy and profound. Savvy readers will guess what happens. W hat they won’t see is how it happens, as Hurley manages to take a plot beloved by Hollywood screenwriters — the idealist transforms the cynic — and make it, just for once, true to life. At its heart, the novel is as sad as it is joy ful: a m editation on the fear we escape through dreams and the strength we gain there to confront our lives anew. >>

Raine was sixteen when her grand mother started taking her to the Slovakian picnics in Harriman State Park. A five-piece band played music all afternoon and the picnic tables were covered with kale patties, fish pudding, red cab bage with caraway seeds, macaroni stuffing, boiled pork, salt rolls, blue carp, liver dumplings, cookies, jam-filled balls, and chestnut cake. Her grandmother danced to the fiddles and zithers while Raine wandered around listening to peo ple telling stories about Slovakia— the blue Danube, the bacon grease sandwiches, the flax fields, the Hlinka Guard, the feel of dresses made of flour sacks. At the picnics, everyone laughed and ate and danced and shed tears over the day in 1939 when the Nazis invaded Slovakia. It was at one of the picnics that she had met Pavel Orzagh. He had olive skin, a thin face, big greenish eyes that turned gray when it rained, and silky brown hair filled with glints of gold. In his pockets, he carried a magnifying glass, a compass, a knife, and a jar of juniper oil mixed with lard that he kept in case he found a wounded bird. Pavel was always talking to the old people at the picnics, telling them jokes, or playing his gajdy and singing or dancing with old women. He was fascinated by the Holocaust, but he wasn't obsessed by it. Raine took the doom much more personally, feel ing threatened by humanity's cruel streak. She made lists of all the abominable things human beings had done throughout history, and pasted them in a scrapbook called Horrible but True Things You'd Rather Not Know.

"I hope you like my nail polish," Raine said, plopping down in the chair in Al's office and holding out her hands. Al winced. Her nails were painted black and each one was covered with a tiny decal of a yellow star of David. "Very creative," he said. "You're the only one who lis tens to me, Mr. K. Mary's always been a good listener, but she's get ting bored with my tales of woe." "What about your parents? Don't they listen?" "Daddy listens when he takes me out to lunch—but that's only because he wants something." "What does he want?" "He wants me to be little again." "What about your mom?" he said.

"She takes me on these shop ping trips to Bloomingdale's and buys me these really shmendrick clothes, and I end up trying on the stuff she picks for me, quite reluc tantly, believe me, because my mother does not understand the word NO. She stands there in the dressing room, and she beams and says, 'It's adorable!' and it probably is adorable, but I try to tell her that that is not the look I'm striv ing for. So she turns to the sales woman and says, 'We'll take it.' Then we go over to the Plaza for tea, and I have to wear my new purchase, and I am absolutely mor tified thwamping down 59th Street looking like Queen Josephine fresh from the Baltics. Even the horses we pass take one look, roll their eyes, and think, jjesus, Mary, and Joseph, who dressed her?' Then we settle ourselves at her favorite table in the Palm Court, which is directly across from a mirror, and the waiter brings tea, I talk, and Mother keeps saying, 'Don't say that, dear.' Of course, she only calls me dear at the Plaza. At home, she calls me Raine Marie in this cold voice that could freeze an orang utan sitting on the equator. That's what I mean about you, Mr. K. You listen to me, and it feels like I've been blind my whole life and I can suddenly see a cherry tree." He sat up a bit taller in his , chair and said, "Thank you, Raine." "My mother and I go shopping four times a year. We started when I was eight. That's forty trips to Bloomingdale's and forty trips to the Plaza. No wonder I'm seeing a psychiatrist." "I'm sure Dr. Hadcock listens to you." "She does. But she only listens if my parents pay her a hundred and thirty dollars an hour. Dr. Hadcock claims I'm interesting, but sometimes I find myself quite bor ing, and it's disturbing to think that Pavel might find me boring, too." "You're not on earth to amuse Pavel." "No, that's right—God fished me out of the vlei for some other mysterious reason. Schwer zu sein ein Yid." "What does that mean?" he said. "It's hard to be a Jew." He watched her in the hall after school, packing up her books and walking alone out of the building. Didh't the other girls talk to her? Didn't she talk with them? Did she want to see herself as an outsider? He wished he could arrange for her to be less lost in herself, to have friends, to be happy. <Z) ( .

It was just four years ago that Dubya himself, before he got all pious and “presidential,” used “the *f* word,” over and over... to say about that, except the obvious — it’s a nightmare out there! On the one hand, thousands of people, including 450 Americans, have already died in Bush’s folly. O n the other, a few teenaged boys in Southern California are apparent ly in danger of being “interfered with” if their parents are stupid enough to let them spend the night at Neverland. W hat to do? You can see the journal ist’s dilemma! And rather than confront

by the name of “Nicky.” The Hilton sis ters are, indeed, Manhattan’s leading “party girls.” Anyway, about three years ago, Paris let herself be filmed by one of her boyfriends while they had sex. Now the videotape has found its way onto the Internet and has the distinction of being the most downloaded item of 2003. Beat that if you can! Paris is said to be “very upset about this tragedy,”

“quite devastated from it all,” hiding behind sunglasses in bars and restaurants and complaining in an interview ^Wkh C/5 magazine that sh'a'“can’t walk the streets” -— although, if you ^isk me, lr she can and does. Bear with me while I clean this story up for any squeamish readers. “The video is 42 minutes long and has full sound,” according to the most recent email I received offering it for sale. “It shows Paris’ boyfriend___ ing her, and she seems to be getting off on a little _____ . It shows him putting h is ____ in h e r ____ , and she seems to be really getting into it. She starts telling him things like, “____ it there, baby!” and “____ it harder!” and “I’m gonna____ any second!” Then h e ____ s her for about five minutes and, honestly, she’s like some kind of animal!” But the “highlight” of the tape is when Paris, “fully aware of the camera’s presence, leaps out of bed to answer her cell phone.” You can imagine how “sizzling” that is! Yours for only $29.95! At first Paris thought Rick Salomon, her ex-boyfriend and costar, sold the video to pornographers, but when she said so in public Salomon hit her with a $10 million libel suit, which is roughly a third of her inheritance. Worse, the scandal broke just before Paris made her debut on Fox TV in her own “reality” show, ‘ “The Simple Life,” in which she plays a rich girl who goes to live on a farm in Arkansas and seduces the high school football captain, whose girlfriend —

What? You’d rather hear about the War? Well, OK. But don’t say I didn’t try. Sooner or later, I’ve got to make some frioney!1 l' t ' ^ So: the War. Maybe I should turn it over to Senator Robert Byrd, one of the few men in Washington who had the guts to speak the truth last winter, when this country callously, stupidly,^ vengefully and pointlessly sacrificed its wealth, its honor and the lives of its children for the delusions of a fool. Make that a pack of fools, since George W. Bush, President Pinocchio, is only the front, the public face, of a vicious, mercenary, right-wing cabal that will drag this country to ruin if it isn’t stopped. Being a Senator, a Southerner and, I suppose, a gentle man, Byrd said it more sweetly than I would have, “In only the space of two short years,” he declaimed, “this reckless and arrogant administration has initiated policies which may reap disastrous consequences for years to come .. . This administration has split traditional alliances, possibly crippling for all time international order-keeping entities like the United Nations and NATO. This administration has turned the patient art of diplomacy into threats, labeling and name-calling, of the sort that reflects quite poorly on the intelligence and sensitivity of our leaders ... Frankly, many of the pronouncements made by this administration are outrageous.

SEVENDAYS I december 29, 2003-january 07, 2004 I fea tu re 29A

There is no other word.” Frankly, there is. We could say that the pronouncements of this administration are f-— ing outra geous, but if we did we’d be in a heap of trouble, like? Democratic presidential contender John Kerry of Massachusetts. Kerry can’t seem to do anything right, and was recently scolded by the White House for saying that Dubya had “f-—ked up” the war in Iraq. “That’s beneath John Kerry,” said Ding-Dong’s chief o f staff, Andrew Card, demanding an apol ogy. “I’m very disappointed that he would use that kind of language.” Card must have a screw loose and, like all of America’s corporate media, no memory. Because it was just four years ago that Dubya himself, before he got all pious and “presidential,” used “the ‘f ’ word,” over and over, in an interview with Tucker Carlson in Talk magazine. Don’t you remember? At the time, it was taken as a plus, a posi tive thing, a sign that Doofus, despite his privileged background, was “just folks” like you and me, and that he ought to be elected for that reason. How frank he was, how refreshing, etc. This was the same interview in which Bush mocked the con demned murderess Karla Faye Tucker, whose death warrant he had signed, rolling his eyes, purs

ing his lips and whimpering, “Please, don’t kill me!” And it was also where he summed up his entire political experience and phi losophy by saying; “I’m a decisive person. I’m not interested in process. I want results. If the process doesn’t yield the right results, change the process” — as un-American a concept as ever rode a punk to power. Well, damn the torpedoes! Remember the Maine\ Back then, oddly enough, the only one who seemed disturbed by Bush’s state ments was conservative lickspittle George F. Will, who remarked in his syndicated column, as delicately as he could, that Poppy’s spawn had some growing up to do, that his words gave off “an atmosphere of adolescence, a lack of gravitas — a carelessness, even a recklessness, perhaps born of things having gone a bit too easily so far.” The Talk interview even led with a pull quote affirming Dubya’s right to tromp on your sensibilities: “George W. Bush doesn’t give a damn what you think o f him. That may be why you’ll vote fo r him for president. ”

How tines have changed! Dubya still doesn’t give a damn what you think of him, but the press that helped put him in office is determined to keep him there,

and “the ‘f ’ word” just won’t cut it anymore. Not when Ding-Dongs supporters are claiming that “George W. .Bush wasn’t elected by a majority of the voters in the United States ... He was appointed by God,” as stated in October by Lt. Gen. William Boykin, Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelli gence (so-called). T hat’s why Kerry is taking such a beating right now. And that’s why we keep hearing how “angry” Howard Dean is, and how Americans will never elect such an “angry” man. Just say the name Dean on network television and see the pundits cluck. “Yes,” says C N N ’s Judy Wood ruff, grinning idiotically as she interviews Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe in the wake of Al Gore’s endorsement of the Dean “insur gency,” “but aren’t you worried about all those Democrats who think that Howard Dean cant win? Aren’t you worried that George W. Bush is unbeatable?” Say it louder, Judy — let’s make sure they heard it: “Unbeatable! Can’t win! Can’t win!" It’s the oldest trick in the press agent’s kit, although Hitler said it best in M ein Kampf: “The receptiv ity of the great masses is very limit ed, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enor mous. In consequence of these

— about $32 billion a year: “ Phis facts, all effective propaganda must is a tragedy, not only lor us, but be limited to a very few points and for all humanity.

On December 4, according — they’ve captured Saddam Hussein. Mission accomplished! to The New York Times, “more than “Woo-hoo!” as Dubya says, when 400 people from 30 countries" ever he puts on his bomber jacket gathered at a Sheraton Hotel in and raves at the troops.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of hungry families in the U.S. increased 8.6 percent from 2001 and 13 percent from 2000. More than 30 million are described as “food insecure,” which means they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. And 35 million are now officially below the pover ty line, with their ranks swelling by about 1.7 million a year.

What else happened in 2003? I can barely remember. Bob Hope died. Scientists discovered the world’s oldest penis, belonging to a spider and fossilized somewhere in Scotland. A man in Germany is defending himself against charges of cannibalism by saying that his victim agreed to be eaten, and that he’d do it again if he could. Ho-hum. Altogether, it was a big year for homosexuals, who not only got their own Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire, but will soon have the right to get married in Massachusetts. Conservatives are terribly upset by this idea, but as I’ve been saying for years, if selfrespecting gays a.nd lesbians will persisfjjmraping their inferiors, that’s boutid to happen. Cynical? You bet! I certainly don’t like to see marriage put at the top o f the so-called gay agen da, which is and should be prop erly reserved for things that mat ter, such as art, culture, manners, good taste and peace among nations. And that’s all I’m going to say on this subject. Don’t ask me about it again, because I’m through caring about it — I mean, I am finished. Oh, yes — a Medicare “reform” bill was finally ham mered through Congress, after some major rule breaking and arm-twisting from the corporate thugs in power. It’s a bill that will enrich the pharmaceutical compa nies, the HM Os and all sorts of private medical firms, but does lit tle, if anything, to relieve the bur den of soaring drug costs on sen iors and the disabled. And it will stick the next generation with a - - -

Because Con gress refused to approve another extension, some 80,000 to 90,000 unemployed workers each week will lose all benefits.” And in just the last few months, says the Los Angeles Times, “Congress, at Bush’s request, has doled out $87 billion to rebuild and secure Iraq and Afghanistan, approved a $401 bil lion defense appropriation bill, the largest ever, and completed a $ 1 trillion tax cut on top of the $1.35 trillion reduction the presi dent won in 2001. If his energy bill is revived next year, add to the list at least another $26 billion in tax cuts for energy companies ... All this comes when the federal government already faces its largest deficit ever — some $374 billion last year, $84 billion more than the previous record held by Bush’s father.” Now, there’s a “recovery” to be proud-ofl And that’s n o t all:-

in Guantanamo Bay, if you catch my drift. Finally, I leave you with some news that found wide circulation on the Internet this year, but seems not to have fully penetrated the American mind. Pay attention, please, because this is important: “Aoccdrnig to rsceearh at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the ffist and lsat Itteer are in the rghit pclae.

SILVERMAN “The camaraderie was fantastic,” says Nancy Sabin of Charlotte, who organized the dinner with the woman whose family owns the farm. “The men couldn’t believe that the patrones [bosses] had the men in their homes, sitting with them at their table.” Last June, Seven Days ran a story about the plight of the Mexican campesims who live and work on Vermont’s dairy Farms. W hat began as a human-interest story about the warm-weather folks who brave Vermont’s frigid winters for their paychecks quickly mushroomed into an expose about the lives of undocumented laborers in the dairy industry. Since most of these men speak little or no English and are cut off from their families and friends in Mexico by distance and economics, they live in nearly complete physical and cultural isola tion. Vermont’s campesinos often work long vv hours for meager pay and suffer from lone liness, exhaustion, depression, and the ever present fear of being arrested and deported if they venture off the farm. The story caused quite a stir among local Latinos, farmers, workers-rights advo cates, and others who have lived or traveled in Mexico. Shortly after it ran, about twodozen Vermonters formed a nonprofit group called the Vermont Campesinos Alliance (VCA) to offer the men cama raderie, English-language lessons, household goods, medical attention and other basic necessities. But those efforts also sparked anxiety among some farmers, who feared that VCA had ulterior motives. As a result, Vermont’s Attorney General was asked to weigh in on the workers’ legal rights to receive visitors. And now, legislation is pending before Congress that would allow many of these campesinos to become perma nent U.S. residents.

Sabin, better known among local Spanish-speakers as “Mama Nancy,” has long been the sole advocate for the Mexican farih laborers of Addison County. The straighttalking, no-nonsense Sabin, who describes herself as an “old radical fighting for the cial social worker, translator, taxi driver, even legal advisor. She provides whatever help she can afford — food, clothing, household goods, even long-distance calls to their fami lies back in Mexico. She’s done it for years, usually with little or no outside help. As Sabin explains, the living conditions of Vermont’s campesinos vary widely depending upon the farm. As last month’s Thanksgiving dinner demonstrates, many local farm families are generous and kind to their foreign-born farmhands and do their best to make them feel at home. On the other hand, others take advantage of the imbalance of power that exists between employer and employee, which can be fur ther compounded by a worker’s immigra tion status. Sabin knows of several farmers who provide their employees with substan- y dard housing, meager amenities, few if any medical seryices and sporadic paychecks. For example, she received a phone call two months ago from a Mexican Worker she knows who told her that neither he nor his co-workers had been paid for more than 45 days. As a result, none of the five men had eaten for three days. Sabin immediately went out and bought them groceries out of her own pocket. Unfortunately, such problems often go unaddressed because most of Vermont’s social-service agencies are either unaware they exist or are ill-equipped to handle them. “One of the most disturbing things is that two or three Mexicans can’t even walk down the road in Addison County without some one calling the police and asking, ‘W hat are those people doing here?”’ says Angele Cquru a paralegal with Legal Services Law Line of Vermont. “And, of course, they get deported and they weren’t doing anything v but walking down the road.” Court, who was hired part-time to assist the state s foreign-born workers — most of them seasonal apple pickers from Jamaica

SECOND NIGHT FIRST!: : Led L0/C0

Ever felt that New Year's Eve hogs too much of the holiday spotlight? Aussie arena-rockers

are sick of "Auld Lang Syne," so they're switching the attention — and the party — to New Year's Eve Eve, that is, December 30. Once

again, Loco have stretched their continent-hopping "farewell tour" long enough for another Burlington blowout, and a chance to get political about unfair holiday traditions. Expect highbrow partying and low-down rock 'n' roll this Tuesday at Club Metronome.

♦8.7 million of the 187 billion Congress voted for Iraq went to attack peaceful demonstrators protesting the FTAA in Miami. According to reporter Naomi Klein*, “small, peaceful demonstrations were attacked with extreme force; undercover officers used stun guns on activists; dozens of young faces were smashed into concrete and beaten bloody with batons; human rights activists had guns pointed at their heads at militarystyle checkpoints.” IT ^ DID HAPPEN HERE

JUSTICE SERVED?

Kathy Stark 's exhibition at the

Vermont Supreme Court building seems dedicated to the premise th at all brush strokes are created equal. Her paintings are meticulously built up from thousands of vertical strokes, none more than a few inches long. Stark probably goes through a lot of #6 filbert bristle brushes. Her paint ings resemble tro m p e I'o e il rag rugs at first glance, with vertical weft-like strokes organized into horizontal bands of warp-like color.

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

predict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) a ll follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or

To help her sleep, Fannie listens to BISHOP Fulton J. Sheen. TOM AND JERRY cartoons were her favorite as a child, and they still are.

Once approached by Ted Bundy with his arm in a SUNG, Fannie smelled a rat. Friend Kyle says, "A GRASSHOPPER is to a locust as Mike Meyers is to Dr. Evil." Fannie rode in the SIDECAR of a Harley piloted by her admirer Biff Bullock. She believes folks were less mean-spirited in her old home of MANHATTAN. Aptly named, Aunt Phee's apple COBBLER was tough as shoe leather. OLD-FASHIONED in some ways, Fannie likes to wear high heels and nothing else. Fannie gets SOUR when people are too envious to offer a compliment. On New Year's Eve, Fannie uses her Phillips SCREWDRIVER as an ice pick.

Under the direction of First Night favorite Troy Peters, the pint-sized performers also play pieces by Duke Ellington and music from the film , The L o rd o f th e R in g s . This is one musical

In an unnamed country behind the Iron Curtain, American tourists Walter and Marion Hollander are accused of spying on a military installation and seek refuge inside the American embassy. Their escape back to America — where Walter's catering company is being ruined by an incompetent partner who keeps giving their guests food poisoning — hinges upon the ability of the ambassador's son to negotiate their safe return.

What ensues are the usual hi-jinks we've come to expect from a Woody Allen comedy, which MHS' drama troupe, Masque, pulled off fabulously. From the bumbling ineptitude of Axel (Sean Williams) to the nasally, Fran Drescher-like whining of Marion (Deirdre Yee), these thespians nailed their comedic tim ing. And no doubt Will Lambek, who shone as the perpetually enraged Walter, woke the next morning with a sore throat from his on-stage tirades. Director Mark Roberts and producer Paul Griffith put on a show that looked as fun to perform in as it was to watch. The Wood Man would have been proud, especially since few of his productions include home-baked goods during inter mission.

MOON UNIT Lunatique is one of several acts that invite First Night revelers to think globally and cel ebrate locally. The band is recently formed, but its members are long-time music vets who well known in Vermont's folk circuit. Comprising Robert Resnik, Gigi Weisman, Kristina Stykos and Nikki Matheson, the quartet performs traditional and contemporary French and English songs. Resnik's accordion, Weisman's fiddle and Stykos' bouzouki inspire lively dancing. Matheson, who lived and performed in Paris for 14 years, brings supreme vocals and European authenticity to the stage. Even sa n s alcohol, these crosscultural songs are sure to set folks swaying.

ACTING OUT If your New Year's resolution is to make a difference in the world, take some cues from playwright-performer Kathryn Blume. In her play, The Accidental Activist, the Lysistrata Project co-founder attempts to "save the world one soy chai latte at a time." After real izing that her global act of theatrical dissent has failed to prevent the U.S. attack on Iraq and jumpstart her career as an actress, Blume struggles to rework her definition of success. The protest performer spices up her social commentary with sketches of histor ically defiant femmes, self-deprecating wit and salty language. Part fact, part fantasy and part caffeine-induced madness, this show offers an irreverent look at what it takes to get out of bed and rescue a planet in turmoil.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In his book, The Degradation o fLanguage and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter says he prefers the energetic rants of poetry slams to the “doggedly flat rainy day poems” of more academic writers. On the other hand, the spoken-word stuff rarely ventures beyond “alienation and scold ing,” which limits its beauty and power. “The vast weight of human artistic achievement was not created in indignation,” he notes. Please remem ber that, Aries. Your anger will be good and strong in 2004. It will help you tap into a lot of constructive creativity. But you should resist the temptation to let it influence everything you do.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “When you’re following your energy and doing what you want all the time,” says New Age author Shakti Gawain, “the distinction between work and play dis solves.” I’d like to add that you can go a long way towards blending work and play without having to reach Gawain’s impossibly high standard of all the time. It would be revolutionary to “follow your energy and do what you want” just 20 percent more than your current levels. And the astrological omens for 2004 sug gest that you can easily exceed that. I say shoot for 30 percent, Taurus. Experiment with creating rich new meanings of the term “labor of love.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One way or another, you’ll be coming home in 2004, Gemini. Maybe you’ll finally locate the sanctuary that brings out the best in you — the power spot where you feel pure and real and true. Maybe you’ll create the community you’ve always dreamed of or else join a

H A V IN G A BABY?

network that connects you to resources that have always been off-limits. Perhaps you’ll go explore the land where your ancestors lived and died for many generations, or maybe you’ll make a pilgrimage to a storied place that holds the key to a mystery you desperately need to clarify. And maybe you’ll do all of the above.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The great lesson from the true mystics is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one’s daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends and family, in one’s back yard.” So said psycholo gist Abraham Maslow. Of course that’s always true, but in 2004 it will be far more true for you than ever before. You won’t have to travel to exotic para dises to drum up life-changing epipha nies, Cancerian. You won’t have to hunt for miracles in all-night revels at the edge of reality. All the amazement you’ll need will glide right up to you while you’re washing dishes or taking a walk or buying peanut butter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Some of the finest minds I’ve ever known have belonged to Virgos. I’ve benefited greatly from your tribe’s ana lytical power. Though my gig as an astrology columnist may suggest I favor magical thinking over the logical kind, I am in fact a great admirer of the scientific method and objective rea soning. Having said all that, I can in good conscience tell you to trust your passion way more than usual in 2004. Cut out this quote from Ray Bradbury and carry it in your wallet: “If we lis tened only to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair or friendship. We’d never go into business. Well, that’s nonsense. Sometimes you’ve got to jump off cliffs and grow your wings on the way down.”

In last week’s horoscope, I predicted that in 2004 you will have many exuberant exploits that spread joy and laughter throughout the land. Now it’s time to reveal your other key assignment for the coming months: to seek out experiences that rouse reverence and awe. Do you have any heroes, Scorpio? Do you know anyone whose noble grace or healing genius takes your breath away? Are there any gorgeous works of art or natural wonders that inspire you to fall to your knees and shout “Glory in the highest!”? You need to put yourself regularly in the presence of marvels like that. For extra credit, create adventures in which you feel both worshipful adoration and rowdy pleasure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Amazon.com has begun to do with books what Napster did to music: give them away free online. Along with 120,000 other books, you can now read the entire text of my memoir, The Televisionary Oracle, without buying it. My first reaction to this was a clenched “Aaarrrggghhh! My beloved creation, which I slaved over for years, will no longer generate any income!” Soon I moved to a new attitude, Buddhiststyle non-attachment: “Everything in this world is transitory. Why worry about what I can’t control?” Later my view evolved still further, spurred by reports that Amazon expects this inno vation to actually boost book sales. “Maybe this is a good thing,” I decid ed. The process I went through, Libra, will be similar to your own in 2004. I predict that an apparent loss will lead to an unexpected gain.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Using FBI crime data, a research company deter mined that Amherst, New York, is the safest city in America, followed by Brick Township, New Jersey, and Mission Viejo, California. My analysis of the astrological data for 2004 suggests that your sign, Leo, will be safest in all the zodiac. You’re least likely to be a victim of crime, abusive relationships, health problems and bad ideas. I think you should take maximum advantage of this coming grace period. What adventures would you set out on if you knew you had little to fear? What brave decisions would you risk? What “forbidden” pleas ures would you sample?

SAGITTARIUS

(N„v. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have some heroic assignments in 2004, Sagittarius. They will challenge you to be both ingen iously creative and rigorously disci plined. Can you think way outside of the box without alienating those who prefer to live inside of the box? Are you open-minded enough to get fired up about experimental innovations, but authoritative enough to hammer out pragmatic compromises? Do you have the flexibility to be both a maver ick and a leader?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Mountaintop perspectives will be your specialty in the coming months, Capricorn. You will be invited again and again to gaze at the big picture. To make sure you keep going with the cosmic flow, keep asking yourself the question, “What would the far-seeing, adventureloving part of me do right now?” Your

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Two thousand four will be the Year of Games for you. Here are helpful guide lines, courtesy of programmer Garry Hamilton (www.c2.com/cgi/wiki? GarryHamilton). 1. If the game is rigged so you can’t win, find another game or invent your own. 2. If you’re not winning because you don’t know the rules, learn the rules. 3. If you know the rules but aren’t willing to follow them, there’s either something wrong with the game or you need to change something in yourself. 4. Don’t play the game in a half-baked way. Either get all the way in or all the way out. 5. It shouldn’t be necessary for others to lose in order for you to win. If others have to lose, re-evaluate the game’s goals.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’m hopeful that 2004 will be the year you renounce your habit of taking on the roles of scapegoat and martyr. In fact, let’s launch a campaign to do just that right now. The best way to begin might be to engage in one last self-mocking wallow. Tape a “Kick Me” or “Use Me” sign on your back. Attach a chain to a doormat and wear it around your neck like a big necklace. Invite friends to blame you for everything that’s wrong in their lives. Take the whole shtick to the limit, in other words, Pisces. Feel how ridiculous it is. Encourage it to burn itself out in a blaze of absurd glory. And then walk away from it forever.

CRUISING WITH A CAR CRITIC

S m a ll B e g in n in g s arge revolutions come from small beginnings,” reads the Joy of Motoring column in Londons The Spectator. It’s a sentiment particularly apropos to the debut of Chevrolet’s newest microcar. The Aveo is tiny and may well signal a revolution in General Motors’ approach to marketing small, fuel-efficient cars. I’d suggest The Spectator got it right in what happens to be the first automotive column appear ing in that magazine, which celebrates its 175th year o f publication in 2003. From the threshold of November 14, 1896, however, it was the recently invented bicycle that posed the greatest obstacle to general automotive acceptance: “But useful as bicy cles are, there are some purposes for which they are not suited. T he very old and the very young are debarred from using them; they are not altogether pleasant in wet weather; and their value in carrying luggage to the station has yet to be discovered. In all these ways, the m otor carriage may have a great future before it.” W ith the 21st century future now upon us — when, in fact, a single automaker, Ford M otor Co., can boast its 300 m illionth vehicle assembled on November 18, 2003 — it is im portant to concede that the problem o f automotive design remains incompletely solved. And yet, could the stage be better set for a car like the 2004 Chevrolet Aveo? Just consider the fact, for example, that either one o f the Aveo’s two designs — a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback — is available as a “Special Value” edition costing only $9995. As for Aveo’s dual-overhead-cam, inline fourcylinder motor displacing 1.6 liters, it represents the latest standards o f automotive engine building. If output o f 103 horsepower and 107 ft.-lbs. o f torque is decidedly modest today, it is positively gargantuan next to, say, an 1896 four-passenger Peugeot whose 1.3-liter V2 throbbed with all o f three horsepower — a 50-percent improvement, let it be said, upon the typical coach-and-pair o f the day.

2 0 0 4 CHEVROLET AVEO; 5-pass., 4- and 5-door (5-door shown); FWD, 1.6 -lite r D0HC inline-4; 5-sp. manual or 4-sp. auto; 103 hp/107 ft.-lb s.; mileage w / manual: 27 mpg/City, 35 mpg/Hwy; mileage w /auto: 26/34; cargo: 5-dr.: 7-42 cu. ft.; 4-dr.: 11.7 cu. ft. "Special Value" model: $9995; base model: $11,690; LS model: $12,585.

With a wheelbase scarcely longer than two children are tall (97.6 in.), the Aveo still manages to seat five adults in either configuration. The sedan’s trunk is, by subcompact standards, generous at 11.7 cu. ft. The hatchback is even roomier: if 7 cu. ft. of permanent trunk space is too small on occasion, the 60/40 split folding rear seat can flatten to accommodate up to 42 cu. ft. By contrast, the comparably sized M INI man ages a load range of only 5.3 to 24 cu. ft. Aveo offers two transmissions, a standard fivespeed manual and an optional four-speed automatic. The driving feel of its front-wheel-drive powertrain is typical of the microcar class. Trim curb weight just under 2400 lbs. elicits a perky personality; but small 14-in. wheels attached to independent front struts and a semi-independent torsion-beam axle at rear are prey to harshness over rough roads. Remarkably for a car o f this size and caste, the Aveo is quiet. It’s not serene in the luxury-car sense, but it does manage to banish the buzziness usually associated with microcars. Aveo is also nimble and parkable. It is frugal, too, achieving 27 mpg/city, 35 mpg/highway with a manual transmission. In our contemporary world o f large versus small, however, Aveo enters the fray notably under-armored. Only front airbags come standard; no others are even
