9SHARE THE POWER OF A WISH

The MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION® OF VERMONT grants wishes to children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who are living with a life-threatening medical condition to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. A wish is viewed as an important part of the treatment protocol for a child, giving them a reason to look to the future. A wish comes at no cost to the family; it is truly a "wish-come-true" during a very difficult time in their life.

Since the Vermont chapter began in 1989, more than 2 8 0 yishes have been granted throughout the State. Some of these wishes include family trips to Disney W orld, swimming with dolphins, computers, meeting celebrities & sports stars, horses, swimming pools and playhouses. The goal of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® is to have a wish only limited by the child's imagination. These dreams are made possible through the generosity of individuals, vol­ unteers, businesses, civic groups, foundations, and grants. Make-A-Wish does not receive any State or Federal fund­ ing. The growth of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Vermont has been incredible. They have grown from granti­ ng ten wishes in 1999 to granting 51 wishes in 2 0 0 3 , more than a 4 0 0 % increase in wishes in the last four years.

W ith this increase in wishes comes an increase in the need for funding, volunteers, and in-kind donations. Please help ... Share the Power of a Wish®! ' ■' *

WIND ADVISORY

Last night Governor Douglas announced that the electric demands brought on by the recent weather were forcing utilities to consider imposing rolling black­ outs to ensure stability and reliabil­ ity in the New England grid.

Across southern New England, natural-gas power plants were being revved into full throttle to meet demands. In a few short hours the price of electricity dou­ bled and millions of tons of green­ house gasses and other airborne pollutants were spewed into the air.

As I heard the announcement over the radio, however, I couldn’t help but notice the howling winds that beat against my home. A hard and steady wind was blowing across Vermont’s ridge tops — a wind djat, if we had a few wellsited wind farms in Vermont, could have reduced the fear of blackouts, helped lower Vermont’s purchase price of electricity, and would have prevented the unneces­ sary combustion of fossil fuels to create electricity.

There is no doubt that wind farms can levy an aesthetic cost to our communities, but this exam­ ple illustrates why wind energy is a necessary component to diversified long-term energy planning for Vermont. There is no doubt that policy on appropriate wind-farm siting has not kept up with the rapidly improving technology, but does this mean that an outright moratorium on wind farms is appropriate?

The concerns of communities across Vermont threatened with wind-farm construction can and should be met through proper planning and much-needed leader­ ship from the Department of Public Service, but should not come at the expense of all the other communities in Vermont that benefit from inexpensive, clean, renewable power sources like wind energy.

POT PRESCRIPTION

The Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project is airing a commercial in support of Vermont’s Senate Bill 76, which vfamld legalize the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. The com­ mercial features a local resident dis­ cussing how she became aware of marijuana’s therapeutic value dur­ ing her husband’s batde with can­ cer. The commercial ends with the statement that the only people who are hesitant are the politicians.

In 1981, a law was passed in Vermont that considered marijua­ na legal for cancer and other med­ ical uses as prescribed by the Commissioner of Health. The Commissioner of Health would also be the sole distributor of pre­ scribed marijuana. However, the law gave the state a limited time to organize a system that could implement the statute. Nothing was done, we have no program, and now we’re back in the legisla­ ture battling again.

A 2002 poll conducted by the Lucas Organization showed that 75.7 percent of Vermonters “sup­ port changing the law to allow people with cancer, AIDS and other serious illnesses to use and grow their own marijuana for medical purposes, if they have the approval of their physicians.”

Many of you have seen the commercials from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (supported by our tax dollars) that link marijuana use with anything from teen pregnancy to supporting terrorism.

Fewer of you may have seen the big green leaf on the cover of the 11/10/03 issue of Forbes magazine with the story “The Unstoppable Economics of a Booming Business” about the medical and non-med­ ical marijuana business in Canada...

In the 1930s, our government decided to demonize all forms of cannabis sativa due to business and cultural issues that have nothing to

TELLING IT LIKE IT IS

R. Lee Bowen bashes Howard Dean [“Letters,” January 7] for alleging that President Bush was complicit on 9/11. Bowen writes, “Little Howie” lacks anything to “substantiate his claim” and that if President Bush had prior knowl­

edge of 9/11, then that would make him “guilty of murder.”

Here’s my question: If Howard Dean can resort to so-called wild accusations of personal gain, why is it so hard to believe that George W. Bush could exploit 9/11 for the same reasons? W hy hold the President to a different standard?

World leaders routinely employ Machiavellian tactics in order to advance their own agendas. Nor is the office of the presidency immune to gross abuses of power.

Just look to recent history for some examples: Richard Nixon’s

e - m a i l: l e t t e r s @ s e v e n d a y s v t . c o m

Watergate, JFK’s assassination and the “magic bullet theory,” the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which expanded presidential war powers, the Iran-Contra scandal, the bomb­ ing of the Sudan aspirin factory by the Clinton Administration, plus much, much more.

We take a political “leap of faith” when we trust the President with matters of national security.

Deep down inside, most people want to believe that President Bush acts in our “best interest.” We hope that the President would never betray our trust and allow 9/11 to happen. We vigorously defend this belief because the alter­ native is frightening. The alterna­ tive suggests treason. The alterna­ tive says that the enemy is not out­ side our country but within.

It’s easy to see why so many Americans dismiss even the possi­ bility of wrongdoing by the President. But what are we basing our beliefs on? Maybe, our beliefs and patriotic feelings are clouding our judgment. Merely suggesting impropriety on the part of the President is very serious. Howard Dean is one of the few Democrats who took a bold stance at a time when most Democrats shrank back in submission.

This is, by no means, an endorsement for Howard Dean.

But you have to admire the people brave enough to come out and call it like it is. There are too many inconsistencies with the Bush regime’s story. Bush’s cronies trig­

WEIGHTY MATTER

Kind of too bad, I thought, to fill four pages of Seven Days [“Small Talk,” Jan. 7] with a misleading, rather malicious review of a worth­ while book.

It seemed to me that Radical Simplicity by Jim Merkel deserved better from your magazine. The fact is, there are now too many of us living in a world in which the resources have become finite. If someone cares enough to write about how we can all pitch in and help this situation, shouldn’t we be paying attention?

It’s awful to think we’ve reached the state where we leap to defend our own consumer lifestyle at the expense of those who care enough about the beleaguered state of our planet to write a book about it. - - ,, Nothing wrong with poking fun at serious subjects, but I found Margot Harrison’s review a mean piece of immature and rather selfindulgent writing that entirely missed the point o f Jim Merkel’s fine book.

Curses, Foiled Again

Four days after Ronald A. Mahner was released from Florida’s Seminole County Jail for auto theft and habitually driving with a suspended or revoked license, he returned to claim his personal property.

Asked for identification, he presented his driver’s license, which a routine check showed had been revoked for life.

Needing to witness Mahner behind the wheel to charge him with driving illegal­ ly, Sheriff’s Deputy Teri Cresswell asked him to park behind the building. He uot only did, but in a fire lane. A check of the car’s tags turned up that it had been reported stolen the same day as Mahner s release. • Robert D. Pratt, 32,

senior government officials told The New York Times. Military officials described the step as a sign that Bush loyalists might have lowered their sights and no longer expected to uncover the caches of chemical and biological weapons that the W hite House cited as a principal reason for 1 going to war last March. A separate military team that specializes in dispos­ ing of chemical and biological weapons remains part of the 1,400-member Iraq Survey Group, which has been search­ ing Iraq for more that seven months at a cost of hundreds of millions of dol­ lars, but a member of that group said the team is “still waiting for something to dispose of.”

• Saddam Hussein might have believed he actually had weapons of mass destruction because of a pattern of deceit designed to impress him. Citing a previously undisclosed report, The Washington Post said that according to Iraqi designers and foreign investigators, special weapons program managers exaggerated the results they could achieve or even promised results they knew they could not accomplish, either to appease Hussein, or simply to advance their careers, preserve jobs or even conduct intrigues against their rivals.

• German police arrested a man and woman they said robbed a store in Spandau when they interrupted their getaway to change their appearance.

“Afterwards they both fled with their loot to a nearby hairdressers’,” the police report said. “The extremely drunk 24year-old man cut his own hair there, boasted about his crime and then left the hairdresser’s together with an accom­ plice.” An employee alerted police.

Fruits of Research

British scien­ tists announced the discovery of the old­ est known penis, part of a fossil of a small sea creature taken from a 425-million-year-old rock formation in Herefordshire. The animal was buried under volcanic ash that mineralized and retained an image of its soft body parts.

Hard to Swallow A C N N health' bulletin, “Fellatio reduces risk of breast cancer,” was published in newspapers around the world, citing a North Carolina State University study that found women who swallow semen regu­ larly, once or twice a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 per cent. The report quoted one of the researchers, Dr. Helena Shifteer, as say­ ing that since the results have been known, “I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances.” The website that posted the original article received more than 667,000 hits on a single day soon after the story broke. But within a week, it was revealed as a hoax. Brandon Williamson, the student who wrote the mock report, responded to legal threats by apologizing to the university, to C N N and to “all men who did not take advantage of this article in time to get head.” ®

ORPHAN G IR L A T T H E CEM ETERY

hen E lm a S k o p lja k was a teenager in war-torn Bosnia, she kept her spirits up by teaching herself to draw. “I just felt I had to create som ething,” she says. A friend gave her a book o f paintings, on the cover o f which was an image that became her favorite: Orphan Girl a t the Cemetery by the 19thcentury French Rom antic painter Eugene Delacroix. It’s an arresting portrait o f a beautiful young woman, eyes widened in either defiance or shock, with headstones faintly visible in the background.

Skopljak saw in the painting a connection to her own experience o f losing friends to a terri­ ble war.

After Croatians took over Skopljak’s town, she fled in 1999 w ith her Mpslini family to join a relative in Burlington. She entered the C om m unity College o f Vermont and began taking art before she’d even learned English. In one class, the assignment was to copy a painting o f one’s choice; it was obvious which one she’d select.

A nd when Skopljak, now 25, was given the chance to have a solo show o f her work at C C V before transferring to the University o f Vermont, there was no question which painting would be given pride o f place. H er stunningly accurate recreation o f Delacroix’s Orphan Girl showed just how deeply she’d connected w ith the artist and his subject. People unfamiliar with the original assumed it was Skopljak’s self-portrait.

T he show went up in the hallway gallery o f C C V ’s Pearl Street building in December. T hen, earlier this m onth, Elma got a call from the college.

Sometime in the first few days o f the semester, the painting had been stolen.

Skopljak was devastated.

T he police are investigating. Posters have been placed all over CCV. So far, no clues have surfaced. C C V is offering a reward, no questions asked, for return of the painting or for inform ation leading to its return (865-4422). Meanwhile, Skopljak will continue to wonder, “W ho would do som ething like that, or why?”

LIGHTS O U T... W hen M iddlebury College opened its $ 11 million-plus C enter for the Arts in 1992, the skylit upper galleries o f the M useum o f Art were am ong the new building’s more highly touted features. N o more. T he col­ lege has announced that the museum, which was designed by the esteemed H ardy Holzm an Pfeiffer architectural firm, will close from M ay 3 to September 6 for renovations — including the removal o f those skylights. “We had been led to believe they w ould w ork,” says m useum director R ich ard S a u n d e rs, despite the fact that skylights often cause

problems in museums located in cold cli­ mates.

But the retractable shades in the origi­ nal plan were scrapped for budgetary rea­ sons, and the mix o f high hum idity inside and cold temperatures outside led to con­ densation. In other words, a skylight that dripped — not a com forting thing in a gallery full o f priceless art objects.

Engineers are currently determ ining how much the renovations will cost. Having to close the museum for even a short time is “not something you’re really thrilled about,” allows Saunders, but he’s looking forward to fall shows on Rodin and vin­ tage Vermont photography. C urrent exhi­ bitions o f photorealism and narrative art continue through April.

PLAY DAY... T he heat will be warmer at

the Fairbanks M useum in St. Johnsbury, the lights will be brighter in M ontpelier City Hall, and curtains will open on a new performance venue at Barre’s Socialist Labor Hall. Totaling more than $54,000, culturaifacilities .grantstfrom the Vermont Arts Council Will be award­ ed to 16 nonprofit groups next M onday at the Sudbury M eeting House. The awards range in size from $750, for the installation o f environmental controls at the American M organ Horse M useum in Shelburne, to $5000, for an upgrade to the lighting system at M ontpelier’s Lost N ation Theater.

A rehab footnote: T he Northeast Kingdom Arts Council, which received $4000 for handicap-accessible restrooms at the Hardwick Town House, is staging another kind o f reclamation project this Wednesday through Friday: NeKArts and the Hazen U nion D ram a Club will stage a 1917 play at the Town House called Battle o f Wits. It’s a comedy by Charles W. Henry, whose hand-painted theater cur­ tains beautified a num ber o f the state’s cultural facilities. O n Saturday the play will move to the Vergennes O pera House, where it was originally produced.

A L L T H E N E W S T H A T G IV E S U S F IT S

‘Union’ Busting ast week, in anticipation o f George W. Bush’s State o f the Union address, I took steps to prevent a full-scale attack on my intelligence and credulity by shutting off the television, powering down the comput­ er, turning out the lights, canceling the newspaper, drawing the blinds, locking the doors, hopping into bed and pulling the covers over my face for two whole days. I believe this is what the people at Home- A land Security recommend during a Red Alert, which, in my opinion, any speech from Boo-Boo Brain automatically is.

Well, it didn’t work. I got a nice rest, but that was all. Because, when I dared to come out again, there he still was, reprint­ ed, re-broadcast and re-spun, lying through his teeth about “peace” and “prosperity,” vowing to keep the world safe from “terror-

T errorists, w atch out! Rogue s ta te s, bew are! H om osexuals, com e to Jesu s! ists,” posing, strutting, taunting, smirking, turning black into white and tin into gold.

“Jobs are on the rise,” said Bush, when jobs emphatically are not. “We can cut the deficit in half in just five years,” he declared, when, in truth, we won’t. We’ll throw a lot of money at “traditional” marriage, fly men to the moon and build ranches on Mars. “No child,” o f course, “will be left behind,” and there’ll be Starbucks in Baghdad by Christmas. It might take a little longer in Kabul, but, hey — as soon as they get a taste o f ginger­ bread latte, they’ll stop growing opium in no time!

“We’ve not come all this way,” said Bush, “through tragedy, and trial and war, only to falter and leave our work unfin­ ished.” So, terrorists, watch out! Rogue states, beware! Homosexuals, come to Jesus! In the Chinese calendar, this is the Year of ttie Monkey, and you’d better believe that our monkey means it. The only reason Bush hasn’t banned evolution in the schools is because he doesn’t want people looking too closely at his face.

Happily, and to my surprise, a lot of people didn’t fall for the gag. CBS News dismissed Bush’s speech as “politics without fingerprints,” “rhetoric” and “spin.” The Arizona Republic called it “really just a stump speech, using half-truths to pitch a failed presidency.” And Molly Ivins, while expecting “a painful skewing o f the statis­ tics on jobs,” wondered “why anyone would believe anything the president says about our fiscal situation. Keep in mind, this is a man who took three Texas oil companies into bankruptcy.”

“It’s got that reek,” wrote Mark Morford in the San Francisco Chronicle, commenting specifically on Boo-Boo’s plan to colonize space. “It’s got that reek o f typi­ cal macho Republican election-year BS ... all war and guns and rockets and oil and big slabs o f chemically blasted, hormone injected, semi-rancid Texas b e e f... O ur * * * * * * schools The W * h M k * t/S W ,«s

mentality is a national cancer. Basic servic­ es nationwide are being starved and shut down as cities scramble for fiscal scraps.

John Ashcroft still has a job.”

So does Dick Cheney, I’m sorry to say.

The Vice President of this pack of rats went to Switzerland last week to represent the United States at the World Economic Forum at Davos, and instructed the assem­ bled billionaires, once again, that when diplomacy fails force will be used.

“Direct threats require decisive action,” said Cheney, mentioning no threat in par­ ticular, much less a direct one, but adding that the events of September 11 — well, you know the rest. How many times do you need to hear it? And who wears the biggest boots in town? We must “nurture democra­ cy” where we find it, said Cheney, and impose it where we don’t: “Democracies do not breed the anger and the radicalism that drag down whole societies or export vio­ lence. Terrorists do not find fertile recruiting grounds in societies where young people have the right to guide their own destinies add to choose their own leaders.”

Like where, for instance? N ot in Florida, where a lot of votes from the last election were made to disappear. Not in Iraq, where the “Coalition Authority” still prefers an appointed government to an elected one. Not in Azerbaijan, that “oilrich Muslim nation,” according to Sunday’s Washington Post, whose leader, Ilham Aliyev, came to power last year by “blatant­ ly fraudulent” means.

“W hen members of the opposition tried to protest, they were brutally beaten by police,” the Post reports. “There followed a massive, nationwide crackdown in which more than 1000 people were arrested, including opposition leaders, activists from nongovernmental organizations, journalists and election officials who objected to the fraud.” Aliyev is now the absolute ruler of his country, a dictator of the kind we were so recently urged to regard as “evil” in other parts of the world. But he grants “billions of dollars in contracts to such companies as BP-Amoco, ChevronTexaco and ExxonMobil. He also has supported a $3 billion pipeline that is to carry oil from the Caspian to a port in Turkey.”

“The United States has a relationship with this country,” say? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. “We value it.” We value it so much, in fact, that Boo-Boo, while Governor of Texas, gave Aliyev honorary Texan citizenship “in appreciation of his support for American oil companies.” The Post, which normally can be counted on to kiss this president’s ass, now asks him, strangely, to put his money where his m outh is: “Azerbaijan, in short, might look like a good place for President Bush to start implementing his frequently declared policy o f ‘spreading freedom’ to the world.”

T hat’ll be the day. As the light returns and the year grows darker, just keep this fact in mind: We didn’t put him there, but we can lose him if we want. © Em ail P eter a t p e te r k u r th @ p e te r k u M ttb } jli

Dear Cecil, What’s the true story on South American Nazis? After World War II, why would countries like Argentina and Paraguay want them?

— David Storms

C

A

S

I

O

MWSN

Come now. After the war Argentina and Paraguay were run for years by nationalist strongmen, Juan Peron and Alfredo Stroessner, respectively, who liked to strut around in mili­ tary regalia and brutalize dissidents. Argentina had remained officially neutral until early 1945, when economic pressure forced it to throw in with the Allies, and until that point it was in intimate contact with Hitler’s regime and the fascist Franco government in Spain. Postwar Brazil was still fascistfriendly thanks to the legacy of deposed dictator Getulio Vargas. Surely it’s no surprise that the leaders o f these coun­ tries nurtured fraternal feelings for fleeing Nazis.

I might also point out that not all fugitives from the Third Reich ended up in South America — quite a few are said to have headed for Spain or the Middle East, and the U.S. imported a crowd of Nazi rocket scientists during Operation Paperclip. That said, the true story of how war criminals like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele wound up in the land o f the gauchos has never been fully told, and even now it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Leading candidates for chief enabler of the great escape include: > • Odessa. Part of the popular consciousness ever since Frederick Forsyth’s best-selling 1972 novel The Odessa File, this secret group (the name is an acronym for Organization der ehemaligen SS-Angehorigen, “Organization of Former SS Members”) supposedly used stashed war booty and connections in high places to spirit Nazi big shots out o f reach of the Allies. Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal says he first heard about Odessa dur­ ing the Nuremberg trials, and in his 1989 book Justice, Not Vengeance he seems convinced it exists, or rather

existed. He offers little evidence, though, and others have their doubts. Even some believers say the organization was amateurish and short-lived.

• The Catholic Church. The claim that members of the Catholic hierarchy were instrumental in obtaining docu­ ments, cash and safe passage for many escaping Nazis is only barely scandalous these days. The benign view is that individual clerics acted out o f humanitarian concern, believing they were aiding refugees from postwar commu­ nist persecution, and were unaware of their charges’ sor­ did pasts. Others say the Vatican knew quite well what was going on but wanted former Nazis as allies in its struggle against the reds. A figure commonly named in this context is Alois Hudal, an openly pro-Nazi German bishop in Rome who is said to have helped engineer the escapes o f dozens if not hundreds o f Nazis — including Eichmann, who was living in Argentina when the Mossad caught him in 1960, and Franz Stangl, commandant of the Treblinka death camp, who ultimately made his way to Brazil and was captured there in 1967.

• A ll o f the above plus Peron. Argentine journalist Uki Goni, in The Real Odessa: Smuggling the Nazis to Peron’s Argentina (2002), offers what amounts to a synthesis of earlier theories. The “real Odessa,” he says, consisted of about a dozen energetic ex-Nazis and Nazi collaborators from several nations, including several wanted war crimi­ nals, working in concert with the Peron regime and sym­ pathetic Catholic officials in both Europe and Argentina.

Goni makes a plausible case that the cabal, which was organized in Buenos Aires following Peron’s election as Argentina’s president in 1946, orchestrated the emigra­ tion of thousands of Nazis and other unsavory types to the country in the late 1940s and early 1950s. (He also claims that the cabal was based at the presidential palace, and that many of its members were given important jobs in Peron’s government.) The old Nazis made frequent trips to Europe to troll for more fugitives; some war crim­ inals had to be smuggled (Mt, but in other cases countries were glad to unload their troublesome Nazi refugees.

Visas and landing permits were handed out freely, the chief concern being that no communists or Jews be allowed in by mistake. How many ex-Nazis made it to Argentina is not known. Goni says he identified 300 dur­ ing six years of research, and it seems likely there were many more.

It’s a lot to swallow, no question, and notwithstanding his 591 footnotes Goni concedes that many key Argentine records that would’ve corroborated his story have been destroyed. Still, he avoids the overheated claims o f other writers, and the plain fact is that all those Nazis didn’t wind up in South America by coincidence. They were going where they were welcome. As for the details? Given the cur­ rent worldwide consensus that Nazis represent the ultimate human evil (and the resulting disinclination of officials in Argentina and elsewhere to come clean), Gofii’s book may be as close as we’ll get to the truth.

for Ho-Ho’s presidential dream.

We got off the phone Tuesday afternoon with J essica Dymczyk, an associate producer at ABC in New York. A month ago, just before New Years, an ABC crew was in town for a few days to quickly put together an hourlong piece on our favorite presi­ dential hopeful for A&E’s “Biography” series.

At the time, Howard Dean looked like the favorite for the Democratic presidential nomina­ tion. In addition to yours truly, the ABC crew conducted lengthy interviews with Attorney General B ill Sorrell, former Dean aide K athy H oyt and Ho-Ho’s neigh­ bor and former assistant Jane W illiam s.

Ms. Dymczyk informed us A&E had “decided to hold off for now.

We haven’t been told a reason.”

Surely the fact that in the past week Dean’s rising star has become a sinking stone had noth­ ing to do with it?

“They’re just putting it on hold,” said Dymczyk. “They’re not doing any of the candidates.”

She speculated A&E might wait a nominee is chosen.

A m erican C ensorship — We

can almost see the smile on George Orwell’s face from beyond the grave. The distin­ guished author of 1984 got every­ thing fight but the date.

You may have heard that CBS has refused to air a 30-second ad paid for by MoveOn.org during Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast. The ad, called “Child’s Play,” was cho­ sen by a vote of MoveOn mem­ bers from about 1300 submis­ sions. You may recall that the mainstream press, especially the cable TV networks, highlighted the one entry that suggested simi­ larities between Germany’s A dolph H itler and the current president of the United States.

(Though not a complaint was heard when a New York Post columnist compared Howard Dean to Hitler lieutenant Josep h G oebbels a couple weeks back.)

The subject of the winning ad, however, is the Bush budget dis­ aster, and in pictures that speak volumes it shows who will inevitably pay for it. CBS says it does not run issue-advocacy ads.

But spots paid for by beer and tobacco companies and even the Bush W hite House will be run­ ning this Sunday.

And what about those Sunday­ morning issue-advocacy ads pro­ moting the image of the greedy pharmaceutical industry? O r the ones that portray corporate agri­ culture giants like Archer Daniels Midland as the benevolent providers for the starving masses of the Third World?

You can watch the MoveOn spot at www.moveon.org — and make up your own mind.

CBS’s blatant Super Bowl cen­ sorship should rile the hackles of every First Amendment-loving American citizen regardless of political leaning. In a letter to CBS President L eslie M oonves, Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders described CBS’ decision as “an affront to free speech.”

CBS has said that the MoveOn ad violated the network’s policy pro­ hibiting issue-advocacy advertising.

Ol’ Bernardo pointed out that CBS ran an absurd issue-advocacy drug ad during last year’s game — the one that claimed recreational marijuana smokers don’t just get high, they fund terrorism!

CBS also will air a spot by Philip Morris USA and the American Legacy Foundation advocating against smoking dur­ ing this year’s Super Bowl.

“Issue ads,” wrote Bernie, “are commonplace and important for democratic debate. Yet, CBS seems to want to limit that debate to ads that are not critical of the political status quo, and, in the case of the MoveOn ad, of the President and by extension the Republican-controlled Congress.

Apparently, CBS feels that the topic covered in this paid adver­ tisement — the federal govern­ ment’s budget crisis — is inappro­ priate or irrelevant for American viewers, despite being one of the most critical issues of our day.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time mighty CBS has played political censor on its airwaves.

Remember when the network axed its R onald R eagan biopic last fall under intense pressure from the GOP? “Perhaps not coincidentally,” noted Sanders, “CBS’s decision to censor the. Jleagan program and to deny airtime to this commercial comes at a time when the W hite House and the Republican Congress are pushing to allow even greater and greater media concentration — a development from which Viacom stands to benefit handsomely. The appear­ ance of a conflict is hard to ignore. There may not be a fire here, but there certainly is a great deal of smoke.”

Cosigning the letter with O l’ Bernardo were Rep. M aurice H inchey, an upstate New York Democrat, and Rep. Jan Schakow sky, a Democrat reptff* senting Chicago’s northern sub­ urbs.

Even if the New England Patriots of 2004 win on the field, the cause of the New England patriots of 1776 loses in Sunday’s CBS Censored Super Bowl, eh?

Moonies been pointing at this ' one for a long time. He even dis­ carded his Progressive Party label to run as a mainstream Vermont Democrat.. .

Last week Glavelle held a fundraiser at the Capitol Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. He was in D.C. to attend the meeting of the National Council of Mayors. The invitation 7■ announced the event’s sponsors: Rep. Berriie Sanders, Boston Mayor Thom as M enino and Trenton, New Jersey, Mayor Douglas Palm er, president of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors. U.S. Sen. Patrick 3. Leahy showed up to say a few nice words. Hey, Bald Guys Unite, eh?

Mayor Clavelle’s “official” campaign announcement is set for Saturday, February 7, at the Champlain Mill in his native Winooski. The invitations were sent out under the names of for­ mer Democratic Govs. P hilip H off and M ad elein e Kunin.

Ducks in a row, eh?

I

Naturally, Clavelle is hoping and praying Shumlin doesn’t mess up his well-laid plans, but, so far, Shummy has refused to play along.

While carefully measuring his words to indicate he hasn’t ruled a I gubernatorial bid in or out, Putney Pete always leaves one with the I feeling he just might do it.

Mr. Shumlin told Seven Days .] this week he will be making a statement about his possible can­ didacy next Wednesday or Thursday.

“It won’t be an announce­ ment,” said Shumlin, pointing out campaign announcements “are not appropriate until the legislature gets out.” So what will he be say­ ing to the TV cameras next week?

“I’ll be confirming my inten­ tions for the political season, with the balloons to follow in May.” Shummy called it “an informal announcement.”

For lieutenant governor?

“You have a real sense of humor,” he replied. “Peter Shumlin will not be running for lieutenant governor.”

And he ought to know, right?

Having just two T V news sta­ tions in the market has only turned up the competitiveness.

hen I first heard Howard Dean give his now infamous “I have a scream” speech, I was driv­ ing down Mormon Trek Road in Iowa City, listening to the radio. I was in Iowa City as a “stormer,” part of the Dean campaign’s massive volunteer mobilization called “The Iowa Perfect Storm.” I was exhausted from five days of campaigning. My lips were chapped, my feet hurt, my throat was sore, and I had just spent the past two hours babysitting for 15 kids while their parents caucused — many of them, it turns out, for John friggin’ Kerry. And when I heard Dean’s phlegmy, painfully ampli­ fied voice, I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I thought he sounded awful.

So I was surprised when I got to the “victo­ ry party” at Buffalo Wild Wings and heard my fellow stormers praising the speech. Hearing it over the radio, I hadn’t realized that Dean was shouting to be heard over the deafening roar of his stormer-centric audience — his mike only picked up his voice, not theirs. The stormers I spoke with had seen the crowd on TV and were more forgiving than I, was.

I’ve become more forgiving, too, after see­ ing a version of the speech shot from the crowd’s perspective (check it out at www.idiom studio.com). Watching the replay that night on TV, I saw Dean whip an orange stormer hat from.his back pocket and toss it at the crowd.

Then, I felt a resurgence of pride in what I’d been doing for the past few days.

When people ask me how it went in Iowa, I think they expect me to be sad and deflated, but despite my brief cringe in the car on cau­ cus night, I had a great time. Dean may not

have won over as many voters as Kerry or Edwards, but his campaign assembled the largest grassroots operation Iowa has ever seen — three times the size of its nearest rival — and in this age of political apathy, that’s some­ thing to be proud of.

This army didn’t just come to cheer Dean on; we spent several days making phone calls and knocking on doors, exactly the kind of grueling political work most Americans avoid.

And though ultimately we had little effect on Iowa, Iowa affected us. Storming Iowa was like participating in a democracy-in-action boot camp; it was exhilarating, exhausting and unforgettable.

I signed up for the Perfect Storm last November. Going to Iowa was the hardest, hard-core D^an thing I could think of fo do.

The campaign leaders said they really needed our help. Plus, it seemed like the perfect way to meet some of the people all across the coun­ try who were fueling Dean’s vibrant Internet campaign. I had been a regular reader of the Dean blog for months and was anxious to meet some of my fellow bloggers face to face at the Blogger Breakfast Saturday morning in Des Moines.

Through the blog, I had located Julie Ann Thayer, another Vermonter who was driving to Iowa. We formed a sappily named group, “Dean Sunrise,” which Julie registered on the Perfect Storm website. We departed from her Williamstown home on Tuesday, Jan. 13, driv­ ing her ,1995 Subaru wagon with studded tires.

Julie slapped five Dean stickers on the car before we drove off into an afternoon snowstorm.

Julie is a true Deaniac. She has attended Meetups, canvassed in New Hampshire, thrown two house parties for the candidate, and written dozens of letters to undecided vot­ ers in Iowa. A 58-year-old, sixth-generatibfT Vermonter, Julie wears her long, blondishwhite hair loose and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty or speak her mind. She has been a schoolteacher and a horse farmer and is cur­ rently self-employed, selling sports bras and boxer shorts designed by her 78-year-old mother (also a Deaniac).

Julie had never been involved in politics before. When I talked to her on the phone before our trip, she sounded enthusiastic, to say the least. “At first, I didn’t think he had a chance in China,” she said. “But now... my God, we might actually change the world!”

Julie approached our trip with missionary zeal. Every stop we made, she handed someone a few Dean brochures. I waited for her to return to the car at one gas station, thinking she’d gone in to use the bathroom. When she returned, she opened the back-seat door instead of the front. “OK,” she said, “I’m about to convert some Geppy people. They thought he’d be best. Well fix that. Where are my bumper stickers?”

When we stopped Tuesday night at a Super8 Motel in Syracuse, I thought my work for the day was done and pulled out a book.

Julie got out her stackj of unfinished letters to — pboljzrw b pj/p h j j w d <

undecided Iowans. She sat on the edge of her bed for two hours, pen­ ning double-sided, handwritten let­ ters, urging voters to caucus for Dean. I felt so guilty sitting there reading that I wrote a letter myself.

Into each envelope, Julie inserted a single-page “How to Caucus” primer, and on the other side of the sheet, she copied Bill Bradleys endorsement speech.

“Have you ever read this?” Julie asked the next day in the car. I said no, so she read me the speech, snuffling a bit towards the end. “I can never read this without tearing up,” she said.

Julie, Sandy and me if we were ready to do some phone banking. My first instinct was to say no. I was hungry and tired. But the infectious urgency in campaign offices can overpower even the most basic human needs, and after a few seconds of indecision I agreed. “Sure,” I said. “I’ll make some phone calls.”

Jeannie explained the task. To maximize their efforts, the campaign­ ers labeled all voters on a six-point scale. “Ones” were definite supporters who would be caucusing for Dean, “twos” were leaning towards Dean, “threes” were caucusing but undecid­ ed, “fours” were leaning toward another candidate, “fives” were defi­ On our way to Iowa, we stopped nitely caucusing for another candi­ in Wooster, Ohio, to pick up Sandy date, and “sixes” weren’t caucusing or Cleary, a 52-year-old former Army wouldn’t talk with us.

moved to Iowa City, a half-hour away. On Friday, the campaign opened separate storm offices across the state to process volunteers. Both storm centers I saw — one at Coe College, the other at a Motel 6 — were stuffed to capacity.

In fact, I left Cedar Rapids because it got too crowded. Besides the carloads of volunteers that arrived all day Friday and Saturday, 127 peo­ ple rolled in on two buses from Philadelphia early Saturday morning.

Most of us stationed in Cedar Rapids were staying in one long, nar­ row room in a campground cabin, sleeping on mattresses laid side by side on the tile floor. When I fell asleep around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday — dead tired after canvassing in freezing rain — there were 30 or so people asleep around me. When I woke up at a quarter to six, I was

ing people’s imaginations,” she told me. “All we need is the local struc­ ture.”

Since the campaign doesn’t have any paid staff in Philadelphia, Janine and her volunteers are the local struc­ ture. They field all the press inquiries — they’ve generated at least a dozen stories this week — send out an email newsletter to their 3000 members, and organize campaign events.

They put together this trip by post­ ing a notice on Get Local, one of the Dean site’s online organizing tools.

Like 75 percent of her Philly gang, Janine is new to politics. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime,” she told me. She was definitely making the most of it. She orchestrated three hours of programming for the bus ride to pump up her volunteers, and had gotten almost no sleep since leaving Philly on Friday. Still, Janine seemed totally wired and eager to talk politics rather than doze. “What would have happened in Florida in 2000 if people were plugged into a network like this?” she mused.

Maybe it was ju st th e severe

the Gore campaign in 2000, Sandy said she supports Dean because “he’s against the war.”

The three of us reached the Cedar Rapids Dean for America office on Thursday afternoon.

Located on the third floor of a downtown building, the office’s cheap card tables, fold-up chairs and disorganized piles of Dean lit reflect­ ed the staff’s on-the-fly intensity.

1 he carpet had long ago been nPped up; and in its place threadbare rugs were duct-taped to the floor.

Dean signs covered the walls, along w>th hand-lettered posters that read, Restoring Rural America” and “Equal Rights for Gays and Lesbians.”

I he moment we arrived, an lntern named Jeannie from Iowa’s Cornell College — her blond hair knotted into dreadlocks — asked

Iowans our story and turn them out for Dean. “We’re past all this wishywashy stuff,” said our trainer. “We can’t have threes. It’s either yes or no.”

I didn’t get many ones that night.

This would have been depressing if other stormers hadn’t begun to arrive while I made phone calls. When we had started calling, the office was nearly empty, by 6 it was so noisy I had to plug my ear that wasn’t glued to a cell phone. By 6:30, they had run out of phones. I gave mine to a col­ lege professor from Ann Arbor, arid took a break. I listened for a couple minutes to the cacophony of these enthusiastic, passionate people. “Bring your son,” said a college kid from Georgia. “Bring everyone you know!”

There were 13 storm sites, and I spent time in Cedar Rapids, and on Sunday

lying in a hive of more than 150 sleeping bodies.

I was supposed to have gone to the Blogger Breakfast that morning in Des Moines, two and a half hours away, but had overslept by an hour, and the roads were dangerously icy.

Instead, I jumped into a 15-passen­ ger van with 10 other stormers at 6:30 a.m. for a 90-minute drive to Davenport. The campaign needed us to retrieve 10 minivans for transport­ ing the Philadelphia people during their stay.

On the ride out, I sat next to Janine Gottlieb, a 34-year-old v woman from Philadelphia who heads the organizing committee for Dean.

Janine works as a computer mapper by day. She spends the rest of her fW 9 m > “Dean’s doing all the work of captur­

sleep deprivation, but I felt the same wild, optimistic buzz at moments throughout my time in Iowa. It had something to do with the sheer num­ ber of like-minded people surrounding us, and with the sight of the orange stormer hats, which to us represented a willingness to travel great distances and persevere despite rejection.

And, boy, did we face a lot of rejection. Like American soldiers descending on Iraq, we were sur­ prised to find that the local populace did not welcome us with open arms.

Whether it was because the other campaigns had poisoned them against us, or because our own statewide campaign had faltered, or because Iowans just didn’t like peo­ ple in orange hats trying to change their minds, they didn’t respond to j our grassroots invasion — at least not the way we wanted them to.

Most people exhibited that famed Midwestern politeness. But not all.

While doing some last-minute phone banking in Iowa City on primary day, I heard a guy from New Jersey hang up his phone and laugh. “Do you know what that guy just said? He said, ‘Why don’t you give it up, you goofy bastards?”’ There were six of us stormers in the room. We all laughed.

We didn’t feel like goofy bastards. We felt like committed, patriotic citizens, even if we were a little goofy.

For me and most people I spoke with, that feeling outlasted the results of the caucus. Patty Zubeck, a 46-year-old filmmaker from Washington, D.C., told me that, thanks to Iowa, she’s in it for the long haul. “Whoever wins the nomi­ nation, I’m going to quit my job and join the march,” she said. Michael Rodemer, a 50-year-old University of Michigan professor, told me he would keep working for Dean in Michigan, but that his Iowa experi­ ence made him feel “more cynical” about politics.

Jon Zemke, a 26-year-old free­ lance reporter, disagreed. “It actually made me more enthusiastic about politics and less cynical,” he said. “I came to Iowa because I got an email from Joe Trippi saying he came to Iowa to campaign and it changed his life. And I can honestly say that it’s changed my life.”

Both Jon and Michael are now volunteering in Michigan.

My new Vermont friend Julie Thayer admitted her disappointment with the Iowa results, as did Sandy.

Our drive back was much more sub­ dued — Julie didn’t hand out a single flier. But she was still determined to work for Dean — she told me she planned to take a day off when we got back, “and then it’s on to New Hampshire,” she said, a note of deter­ mination in her voice. I asked her what she would do if Dean didn’t win the Democratic nomination. “Cry,” she said. “And then I’d probably start working for somebody else.” ®

rude wind blows across my driveway on a recent M onday m orning, howling through the trees and scattering my recyclables around the neighborhood. Just when I’ve managed to retrieve the airborne pages of ' STORY The N ew York Times, the Filene’s flyer and SA RA H the em pty envelopes, another nasty gust TU FF rears up and I’m flapping around like a crazed chicken in a barnyard.

IMAGES But two hours later, when I’m taking a M A TTH EW kite-flying lesson at South Burlington^ T H O R S E N Dorset Park, the wind has become an ally.

Buttery chunks o f sunlight smear across the soccer fields as I grasp two handles at the end o f 20-foot lines linked to the yellow-and-white kite. “Ready?” instructor Rachael Miller yells, lifting the pillowy sack into the air and running back toward me. “Now use the punch-pull m ethod to turn the kite.”

O nce I get the hang o f it, I’m able to move the kite — which looks like a fat croissant — out o f the gentle neutral area above my head and into the power zone, where it dances wildly across the sky. A tug sends it soaring right and left, harness­ ing the 10- to 20-knot breezes blowing from behind me. T he next step in the process is strapping on skis and a helmet and taking off across the snow.

Snowkiting is one o f the newest sports to arrive in Vermont — and anywhere in America, for that matter. In an age when the word “extreme” has been tacked onto everything from deodorant to candy-col­ ored sodas, this wind-powered sport offers adrenaline junkies a new fix. “T he kite is the engine, b u t we have a lot more control over it than, say, on a snowmobile,” says Miller, O ne o f the country’s first certified snowkiting instructors, she has just launched a snowkiting business from her hom e in Warren. “I like the physical act and the thinking elem ent,” she says; *-F ::V l like that balance.” ' As early ak the fifth century B.C., 1 Chinese generals sent kites o f bam boo and* silk into the sky; in Indonesian and '* :;,jl Polynesian cultures, fishermen used leaves! .( la w o ^ i J4htiIafF^d%R5ies o f fabric to

long distances into the sea. T he introduc­ tion o f multiple lines, around 1825, allowed humans to control the kite in the sky, but beyond Ben Franklin, nothing much exciting happened with kiting until the 1970s.

T h at’s when folks began tying kites to catamarans, canoes, roller skates — pretty much anything that moved. Success was marginal at best. By the 1990s, New Zealander Peter Lynn had popularized kite-buggying, in which participants reach speeds o f 75 miles an hour, while others in the U.S. and France worked on the water, developing kiteskiing and kiteboarding.

Today, kiteboarders, also known as kitesurfers, can be seen everywhere from the U nited Arab Emirates to the beaches of Brazil.

W hy should winter freeze out the fun?

For about three years, kite-powered pio­ neers riding snowboards and skis have been sweeping through Scandinavia and the Erench AljJs,- com peting ya_t)ig air and high-speed events. Now, sriowkiting is catching on in Wyoming, M ontana, Utah and the Midwest, both in the hills and on the flatlands.

“In M innesota, they can’t go shredding m ountains, really, but they’ve got plenty o f frozen lakes and fields and winds and snow,” says Miller, 33. A former sailboat racer and director o f the Lake Champlain C om m unity Sailing C enter in Burlington, she’s turning Vermont into the next hotspot for the cold-weather sport.

After returning last April from New Zealand — where her husband, James Lyne, competed in the America’s C up — Miller began “landkiting,” which involves flying across fields w ith a kite and a sturdy skateboard called a “m ountain board.”

“There wasn’t enough wind to w indsurf last summer,” she says. “A nd I w anted to get really good flying'skills on land.

Snowkiters start with the day o f demos and races in the wind at their backs, figuring out Burlington area. Seeing, and experiencing, the sport is the best where the kite is safest (above, in neutral) and strongest (to the front way to grasp its beauty, power and potential., (ji - r,f,,n to ^Jfand sides, in the “power zone”).

Once you’ve mastered basic flying on a trainer, you move onto a bigger kite, which has a bar and a wrist leash. If the thing flies out of control, you drop the bar and the kite falls but doesn't blow off to the next county. Even w ithout skis on, you feel the mighty pull of the sensitive kite and understand the wisdom of such a precaution.

T h at’s in stark contrast to kitesurfing, which has earned a reputation as a dangerous, even deadly, pursuit. Some kiters have become “lofted” while still on land, bouncing along a beach and into a parking lot, where they sometimes crash into w ind­ shields. O ne kitesurfer in Tasmania got tangled in the trees; last November, a Kiwi blew straight over the trees and onto the roof o f his own house, giving local residents a bit o f a shock. In 2002, a G erm an professional kitesurfer was killed when her equipm ent snagged the rig o f another kiter and she was swept head-first into a sea wall.

But nearly all o f the kitesurf­ ing horror stories can be attrib­ uted to the absence o f safety leashes or inadequate launching space. Because snowkiters practice on wide-open bowls, frozen lakes and fields — with the latest tech­ nology in safety releases — the activity is less risky than its watery counterpart. O nly one serious injury has been reported: a Frenchman who smashed up his face, heels and wrist in the Alps.

Snowkiting risks are similar to those in skiing — “falling and hurting yourself,” says Miller, demonstrating a “chicken loop” and other assorted devices on one o f her bigger kites. “Lets say you’re Supermanned, splayed out

across the ground; you just drag under the kite and then squiggle around to get back up. If you don’t have control of the kite, there are lots o f ways to get o u t.”

Despite such ungraceful images, snowkiting is am ong the most elegant and exhilarating sports in the world. There’s not enough snow on the fields to actually ski with the rig during my first lesson. Instead, Miller and I step inside the Dorset park skating rink to warm up and watch her laptop, which is play­ ing a film o f some recent European freestyle snowkiting competitions.

O n the tiny screen, dozens o f multi-colored kites flutter against a powder-blue sky while the skiers and riders below carve through glaciers and perform tricks. Because the kites pull ver­ tically and laterally at the same time, athletes can fly hundreds o f feet into the air, controlling their hang time by shifting the kite’s position. T he flips and twists seem to be in slow m otion. And there are no lifts, no liftlines, no crowded halfpipes — just sliding and soaring w ith the wind.

“T he kite makes this incredi­ ble sound,” says Miller. “In M ontana, we w ent out in the evening w ith just a little bit o f m oonlight and glowsticks, and zipped back and forth across this lake all night. It was amazing, no sound, just the kites m aking a lit­ tle whoosh as they flew through the air.”

A n a g in g H a r d w ic k t r a in e r fig h ts to k e e p b o x in g a liv e in V e rm o n t story: Ken Picard The staccato beat of boxing gloves on a leather speed bag fills the air of the dilapidated old barroom on Wol­ cott Street in downtown Hardwick; it’s now home to the Hardwick Amateur Boxing Club. As the chickita chickita patter announces the start of another Tuesday night workout, Armand Gelineau, the club’s 78-year-old trainer, paces impatiently and swears to himself. He’s waiting for the rest of his young boxers to trickle in the door.

“Sonofabitch! They come and go like a bunch of sheep,” Gelineau gripes.

His thick Northeast Kingdom accent is garbled by a mashed lower jaw, the result of countless bare-fisted blows he took in his youth. “There’s five already gone to a basketball game, and four

more right here in the village that haven’t showed up and probably won’t.

So, it’s hard getting ’em in.”

Gelineau is short, with wiry, saltand-pepper hair, poor hearing and dark eyes that dart about behind his thick, black glasses. About 15 guys and one girl have signed up for the Hardwick Amateur Boxing Club since Gelineau opened it in September 2002. They range in age from 14 to 30. The unsteady rhythm of the speed bag is a reminder that most of them haven’t had much experience hitting anything that moves or hits back.

But if the boxers are new, nearly everything else in the gym is a holdover from a bygone era: The old brass ring­ side bell mounted on a loose piece of

ply wood, the antique boxing glove spray-painted gold that someone mounted on a stick, the faded blackand-white poster advertising the “Cy Perkins’ Boxing Show” at Community Hall in Montpelier. Reserved seats for that February 1942 event cost 90 cents, but soldiers and sailors could get in for a quarter.

Another fight card on the wall announces a bout featuring Burlington’s Charlie “Buster” Beaupre, a lightweight state champion in the mid-1930s.

Beaupre’s cousin was a dentist who made Gelineau his first mouthpiece so he could go train in Boston — until Gelineau’s mother got wind of the plan and forbade it.

Actually, nothing in the gym is as

much of a holdover from Vermont’s pugilistic past as Gelineau hitnself.

Local boxing old-timers describe him as “definitely old-school,” someone who “swears like a parrot” but has a heart bigger than a racehorse’s, or simply “a character.”

Gelineau has spent much of his life pursuing his boyhood dream of owning a gym, becoming a trainer and promot­ ing amateur bouts. And while no one in the boxing world would describe his career as a success in the traditional sense ?— he’s lost far more money than he’s made and never sent a boxer to a national championship — Gelineau has yet to throw in the towel. In fact, despite a hardscrabble history marked by heavy drinking, fighting and person­ al tragedies, Gelineau still devotes most of his time, energy and money to teach- j ing young people in his working-class community what he calls “the sweet sci- 1 ence of boxing.”

O n a recent evening, Gelineau is readying three of his four boxers who are heading to the Burlington Golden Gloves Saturday night. Among them is 17-year-old Lori Martin, the’ club’s only j female and heavyweight. Martin, who used to get into frequent brawls in high school, says she switched to boxing after watching the Rocky movies. Though she has never fought competitively, she is dying to climb into the ring. “I try to get some of my girlfriends to come down so I can spar with them, but a lot of girls arenTfealty-in teres ted in box­ ing,” Martin says.

Unfortunately, without a female sparring partner tonight, Martin is stuck helping a couple of 14-yeaeroJds with their workouts. Later in the evening, they’ll pummel each other in three rounds, leaving one with a bloody nose.

Geline$p points out one of his more promising fighters, 26-year-old Brock Billings, who is shadowboxing in front of a mirror. The 163-pound propane technician from Walden, whose shaved | head and “Mad Dog” tattoo comple­ ment an already intimidating stare, used to compete in kick-boxing and Tae Kwon Do tournaments before joining the Hardwick club several months ago.

When asked what kind of coach Gelineau is, he says, “hard to under­ stand sometimes, but other than that, it’s up to the individual if they want to ' work hard.”

The third rookie in the tournament is 25-year-old Peter Hirschfeld, a copsand-courts reporter for the Times-Argus who is working on a first-person account of training for the Golden Gloves. Hirschfeld, who’s only been boxing with Gelineau for a couple of months, recalls how on his first day at the gym he met a boxer in his mid­ twenties who never returned. Hirschield later found out the guy has been sent back to jail. Gelineau had bailed him out a couple of times, gave him a blan- , ket and let him sleep in the gym until he was back on his feet.

Gelineau knows what it's like to be down for the count — both inside and outside the ring. “I used to drink a lot. I spent 20 of my best years drinking,” he admits. “So I says, look, I don’t want the kids to do what I done, lose the best part of their life. I’m gonna start a boxing club, a gym, so they can be straight. So I did.”

W hen Gelineau tells a story, it’s hard to know whether he’s talking about last year or 1930 — he shuffles back and

A Jap an ese Touch forth in time a lot, like a prize fighter dancing around the canvas.

He says he only stepped into the ring, once as a boxer himself, and that was enough. It was years ago — Gelineau can’t recall when — and the Hardwick Fire Department had sponsored a town fair that included a boxing match. His opponent, a big bruis­ er from New Hampshire, climbed into the ring weighing 50 pounds more than he did. “Oh, by God, boy!” exclaims Gelineau, looking back on the fight. “He threw a right hand and bounced it off my head, and my head’s still dizzy since then.”

Which isn’t to say that Gelineau never threw his share of punches outside the ring. He grew up on a farm in West Charleston

income at the Saturday night bouts, where spectators threw money right into the ring for the contenders. And with all the granite sheds, there were plenty of burly-armed brawlers around looking to prove themselves.

The fights weren’t exactly for­ mal affairs. Gelineau remembers how the men used to gather in ~ . whatever space they could find — a barn, armory, schoolhouse, evejn a farmhouse kitchen — and slug it out for $5 or $10. “We used to move the chairs and tables out,r round; up a mess of boys and let ’er go.

cash in the professional rings. “In the 1930s, particularly, fighters were often called ‘Kid’ somebody,” Winkler notes. “That was basically to cover up your name so that your mother or girlfriend didn’t know you were doing this on the side at night.”

In 1946, Burlington got its first Golden Gloves tournament.

Since 1948 they’ve been held in Memorial Auditorium. Over the years, the sports popularity ebbed and flowed depending upon the vagaries of national tastes, public sensibilities and, according to Winkler, whether a war was underway. “As I look back through history, there seems to be a flurry of boxing activities up to a war period,” says Winkler, “and then everybody gets their fill of

ARMAND GELINEAU and learned to box at age 14 from his older brothers. “Back then, we used to fight for jackknives and fish poles,” he recalls. Then the Great Depression hit. The family farm went belly up and they had to abandon the place. “We left there with a one-horse buggy, three bags of potatoes and the clothes on our backs,” Gelineau recalls.

“I came to Hardwick in 1938, cause Hardwick was a fightin’ town in the stone-shedding days,” he continues. “There were 14 bar­ rooms in Hardwick and three restaurants. There was no suction device in the granite buildings in them days, so that dust — ah, Jesus! — plugged their lungs right up, so they’d only last 40 years and come down with the stone­ cutter consumption.”

For men like Gelineau who didn’t get jobs in the granite sheds, money was hard to come by. Occasionally, he picked up a few days of work building roads for the Civilian Conservation Corps, then supplemented his

The 1920s and '30s were a heyday of sorts for Vermont boxing, according to Vermont boxing historian Robert Winkler.

In the years leading up to and including World War II, boxing matches were a ubiquitous feature at county fairs, civic events, pic­ nics, VFW halls and CCC camps.

“It was something to do, some­ thing to pass the time. You could make money at it, even though that’s not what it was all about,” explains Winkler, who has been compiling a history of Vermont boxing based largely on newspaper accounts from that era. “There was an excitement to it. It was a way of getting your aggressiveness out in a legal way, instead of going out in the streets and fighting.”

Though Vermont never devel­ oped a professional boxing circuit, in those years the line between amateur and professional bouts was hazy at best. Many Vermont fighters would cross into Massachusetts, New York or Canada to pick up some extra

fighting during the war, and then afterwards they’re busy doing other things.”

Amateur boxing in Vermont saw a resurgence in the 1970s with the arrival of the U.S. Olympic team, which trained at the University of Vermont for the 1976 summer games in Montreal.

That team included such leg­ endary names as Sugar Ray Leonard, John Tate and Michael and Leon Spinks, all of whom went on to professional fame.

O f course, amateur boxing has never been about earning a living — after Michael Spinks won his gold medal that year, he quit the sport and went to work cleaning floors and scrubbing toilets in a St. Louis chemical factory. During the 1970s, Gelineau also worked as a janitor in the Concord manufac­ turing plant in Morrisville while operating a boxing gym out of the old Hardwick fire station. After scraping together enough money to build a ring he could move from town to town, Gelineau

started sponsoring annual tourna­ ments and “smoker matches” in places like St. Johnsbury, Newport, Morrisville and Hardwick. Invar­ iably, those events lost money.

In 1979 Gelineau put on the Northeast Kingdom Tournament, which drew boxers from all over Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He raffled off a ham to make some extra money while his wife sold cookies, donuts and coffee. The event cost him $6000. He didn’t fare well. “Lost my shirt,” he admits. The following year, he shaved $1000 off the cost of the event but still ended up deep in the red. “I never got a dime. I was bust­ ed broke all the time,” Gelineau says.

“I spent $14,000 out of my own pocket to keep that boxing thing going for 12 years. There’s no money in this gosh-damned business.”

teacher new to Hardwick’s Hazen Union School, volunteered to spar with a young welterweight, Gelineau didn’t think much of it.

Both boxers were outfitted in headgear, mouthpieces, athletic cups and 16-ounce gloves, and the can­ vas had the standard 3-inch pad.

When Moore took a single punch to the nose and collapsed in the sitting position, neither the refer­ ee nor the spectators suspected any­ thing unusual had occurred. Three days later, he died of a concussion.

“If a boxing match is a story, it is always a wayward story, one in which anything can happen,” writes Joyce Carol Oates, an avid boxing enthusiast. “In no other sport can so much take place in so brief a period of time, and so irrevocably.”

About a week later, Gelineau returned from Moore’s funeral in

ing gloves, protective gear and a new ring, which he set up in the local teen center. But a dispute with one of the center’s organizers cost him his space and his equip­ ment. For a time, he tried to hold some matches in the rectory of St. Norbert’s Churchy but that didn’t work out, either. Eventually he told the priest, “Boxing and being in the church business don’t go together too good.”

Undaunted, Gelineau started again from scratch, visiting more businesses and scraping together another $1200 so he could buy a ring and rent out the long-defunct hotel on Wolcott Street. Like the old trainer, the hotel seems frozen in time — in the adjoining bar­ room, where the ceiling sags, there are still glasses on the bar and ciga­ rettes in the ashtrays.

eau’s 18-year-old grandson who killed himself last month. For Gel­ ineau, the solemn tribute is a pain­ ful reminder of why he keeps his gym open.

Downstairs, the locker room is abuzz with beefy-armed boys, a few of whom look like they’ve had their noses broken more than once. But there are plenty of nerv­ ous faces, too, including the Hardwick club’s Dan “Bear” Bovat, a 172-pound middleweight newcomer who’s built like a fire­ plug. Bovat, whose grandfather was a Golden Gloves champion, hops around anxiously trying to shake off his nervous energy.

“I just want to get in there, fight, and get it over with,” says Bovat, sipping water and spitting repeatedly into a trash can. He’s vomited four times already, he

begins, and the ref finally calls the fight in favor of Tewksbury. As Bovat spits out his mouthpiece and climbs dejectedly through the ropes, the spectator beside me comments, “That kid’s got a lot of heart.”

Hardwick’s Brock Billings fares better. Just 30 seconds into the first round, he delivers a devastating uppercut to the Bantam Boxing Club’s M att Huntington, sending his opponent to the canvas face down with one of the night’s bestthrown punches. Huntington sur­ vives the rest of the match, but the judges hand Billings the victory.

Hardwick’s most surprising showing that night, however, is Peter Hirschfeld’s three rounds against Green Mountain’s Jeremy Bissonnette. From the opening bell, it’s clear that neither fighter has set foot in the ring before, and the fight is

admits, not to make weight but because of butterflies.

Gelineau and teammate Lori Martin wrap Bovat’s hands while Gelineau gives him a last-minute talk.

“You got your cup?” Gelineau asks.

“N o,” Bovat says nonchalantly.

“No? You don’t got a cup, you can’t box,” the coach informs him.

“I don’t like cups,” Bovat answers.

anything but graceful. By round two, Bissonette is bleeding from the nose and both boxers are literally staggering with exhaustion. At the final bell, the contenders hug in a gesture of mutual respect. And when the announcer declares Bissonnett the winner by decision, the crowd lets out a chorus of sustained boos.

Back in the locker room, Hirschfeld is just beginning to sense what he’s going to feel like in the morning. Smiling weakly, the former sports writer expresses his unabashed relief that he won’t be back next week to compete.

“I don’t want to bust on the Golden Gloves at all,” Hirschfeld says, “but I don’t ever want to do that again.”

There seems to be a flurry of boxing activities up to a war period, and then everybody gets their fill of fighting during the war.

A common misconception^ / <,

about amateur boxing is that it’s dangerous. Actually, unlike in the more lucrative and risky sport of professional boxing, serious injuries are rare in amateur bouts, and deaths exceedingly so.

Statistically, you’re more likely to suffer a serious head injury playing soccer or ice hockey than stepping into an amateur ring. Likewise, arm and shoulder injuries are far more commonplace in litde league baseball. According to Ernie Farrar, who’s been promoting the Burlington Golden Gloves for the last 27 years, the worst injury he’s ever seen in the tournament is a broken nose. That said, all boxers know that when they step into the ring, there are no guarantees.

Holyoke, Massachusetts, locked the doors on his gym and had nothing to do with boxing for another two decades. These days, the usually talkative old trainer doesn’t offer many clues about how he spent those intervening years, except to say that he drank a lot.

Gelineau probably never would have returned to the sport if he did­ n’t care so much about young peo­ ple. Two years ago, he began to notice a lot of Hardwick kids hang­ ing around with nothing to do. “I see the kids running around the streets with their skateboards and their Rollerblades and — oh, my God! — playing chicken in the road, futzing and farting and you name it!” Gelineau recalls. “So I say, someone gonna get killed on this street so I better do something. So I started up the boxing club again.”

It’s a struggle to make the gym work. On Gelineau’s modest Social Security checks, supplemented by a part-time job as church custodian, he can barely afford the cost of heat­ ing the leaky old place. But he does­ n’t charge his club members more than $25 a month for their threehour sessions twice a week. “That’s 24 hours of training for 25 bucks.

And I have a hard time getting that.

What I get, I get,” Gelineau says with a shrug. “But I’m going to keep it open. Even if there’s one or two of them, they’ll learn something.”

r e v ie w th i JIM GILMOUR, QUARTERLINE (Self-released, CD) In the Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night, British comic actor Wilfrid Brambell played the role of Paul's grandfa­ ther. A ll through the movie, everyone who comes across this old codger immediately makes a comment about how "clean" he seemed to be. "Clean" is also the fore­ most adjective that comes to mind in describing the debut CD of Rutland County singer-songwriter Jim Gilmour. The sound on the 10 carefully crafted tracks is sparkling, the playing uncluttered, the writing confident and the singing quite gorgeous — recalling Jesse Colin Young during his golden years with the Youngbloods.

Gilmour has spent years enriching Vermont's musical cul­ ture: organizing the Solarfest (a summertime music and alternative-energy festival), launching the Turn of the Tide concert series at his local library, and producing and/or engineering numerous local recording projects at Southview Arts, his studio in Middletown Springs. It's good news that he won a "performing songwriter con­ test" last year in Park City, Utah. After a year of heavy touring, Gilmour is getting the recognition he deserves as a solo musician.

TERRIBLE TUESDAYS, CARRY A TORCH (Self-released, CD) Terrible Tuesdays comprise two multi-instrumentalists, James Rustad (vocals, guitar and upright bass) and Greg Benson (keyboards, drums and vocals). Both study at the University of Vermont — Rustad's in med school and Benson is a music major. On their 10 -song disc, the two present a collection of earnest, searching songs that reflect on the past and present and ponder the meaning of it all. The sound is catchy, with hints of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, They Might Be Giants and The Turtles. ,What stands out most is BensonTtig ht, well-considered drumming. There are some sweet, high harmonies, and the songs include interesting changes with a good feel for pop — "Rowhouse Dreams" is my favorite. It's a wellorchestrated batch of songs, but overall the musicianship is a bit ahead of the songwriting. Let's call this a very promising start. I f Terrible Tuesdays keep it up, we should be hearing some great things from them in the future. For now, Cany a Torch stands as a solid, enjoyable collection of pop explorations in the nice-guy vein.

SETH EAMES,

T R A IN GOES B Y

(Self-released, CD) These days far too many so-called blues artists are being praised like they're the hottest thing to rise from the Delta in decades. Of these acts being compared to Robert Johnson, Son House and the like, some are actually playing a raved-up sort of "blooze-rock" th at wouldn't get a dime tossed in their caps in Chicago, New Orleans or Kansas City. So it's always a pleasant surprise when an artist comes along who actually seems to channel the same spirit of sadness that crack­ les from the grooves of classic recordings.

Local singer-songwriter Seth Eames strips away any bar-band braggadocio from his songs, leaving instead stunningly simple, ghostly works that flow with an easy, front-porch-picking vibe.

As a member of the Eames Brothers Band, Seth has spent years perfecting the group's cryptic, thickly woven sound. On the all-acoustic Train Goes By, Eames goes it alone, writing and perform­ ing all of the record's 16 tracks.

Space is key to Eames' music, and his tracks have a delicacy th at makes you feel like you're eavesdropping upon a private, spiritual performance. The songs are built around tenderly plucked acoustic guitar and the artist's gravel-and-honey vocals — though Eames adds accents of under­ stated harmonica, flute and tenor sax. The music is deceptively simple and soothing to the ears yet plants, well, the blues deep in the gut.

Things start off slowly with the title track and keep a pretty languid pace throughout the album. "Waiting by the Roadside" pairs moaning vocals with twanging guitar licks. On "Old Mountain," Eames' impressively soulful voice is the main attraction.

• ,, On Train Goes By, Eames proves he's an adept songwriter, singer and performer. The only downsides of the disc are its excessive length — 16 tracks in ju s t over 65 minutes — and the 14 unvarying pace and feel of his songs. But i f you're looking to slip away into a captivating, remarkably powerful blues record, give th is a spin.

34A | january 28-february 04, 2004 | SEVENDAYS I’m like, ‘OK, wow, its done.’”

SD: What are your feelings about running an indie label these days?

SP: Ahh [laughs]. We need more good bands to sign!

SD: Do you feel like there’s not enough good music going on?

AP: Yeah. Definitely in the demos that we get.

SD: What have you been listening to that’s shaped the music you’ve been making lately?

AP: That’s a good question. I think everything we listen to shapes the sound of what we are doing. What shaped the sound of this new Mice Parade record is my memory of my indie-rock roots, 1 0-plus years ago [chuckles]. [It] probably has more to do with shaping this record than any of the records I’m currently listening to.

< M U S IC >

ways, on every front. It is exciting that both bands have new line-ups. The HiM band has a singer, which is cool.

In the Mice Parade band, I’m ditching the drums and trying to play guitar. It could be stupid, but it’s also exciting nonetheless. The idea of HiM and Mice Parade playing together in the same places? How can you get more exciting than that, man? C ’mon!

dam Pierce is an indie-rock Everyman.

As the main brain behind hip post­ rockers Mice Parade, member o f the dub-drenched Afrobeat collective HiM and owner of lauded label Bubblecore STORY Records, the Brooklyn native has ETHAN released some of the American under­ ground’s most challenging music.

CO VEY Both Mice Parade and HiM — Mice Parade, fronted by drum master Doug Sharin HiM, Thursday,. have new records that show the groups January 29, expanding in new directions. In Many Higher Ground, in High Places Are Not Well, HiM layers Winooski, 9 p.m.

With Lake Trout. organic funk, jazz and world rhythms Bubblecore over the pulse o f a vicious, two-drumkit Records can be attack. Obrigado Saudade, Mice Parade’s found at www. latest, shows Pierce steering away from bubblecore.com. the angular experimentation of his earli­ er recordings and embracing lush, orchestrated pop.

O n the eve of the bands’ double-bill show in Vermont, Pierce chatted with Seven Days from his Brooklyn office about the writing process, touring and rock labels.

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve spent a lot o f time on the road. How is this tour going to be different or excitingfor you?

ADAM PIERCE: Oh, in a million

Thursday, February 12 at 7:30 pm and 1 Friday, February 13 at 7:30 pm &10 pm ,

AP: Yes, exactly.

SD: How much do the bands improvise on stage?

AP: A fair amount. Both bands used to improv more than they currently do, but it still definitely happens. The HiM band has the burning two-drumkit thing still going on most of the time. I guess the MP band may be a little bit quieter or poppier or, I don’t really know [laughs].

SD: How did you translate the material from the new records to be played live?

AP: It’s a hard thing to do. I’ve put out these old [Mice Parade] records when there was never a live band [planned], and then [we] sort of tried to play some of that stuff and it was ridiculously impossible, because there are just differ­ ent instruments everywhere. So with the new record I tried to keep things a little bit tamer with instrumentation and parts and all that, so that a band would be able to play it better... I think it’ll translate decently, I hope.

SD: As a writer, do you view albums as being a collection o f sounds or a collection o f songs?

AP: Songs, man. I own albums that are collections of sounds and those are great for that, but my albums are songs.

I’m trying to really get back into song­ writing. The studio’s in my house, so I can record stuff whenever, be lazy and slow about it, and then after a while there are songs and we can put it out on an album [laughs].

SD: So, unlike your previous albums, which were strictly studio projects, you wrote this record with the thought o f it being played live?

SD: D id you have a goal with the album?

A certain sound you were aiming for?

AP: No, I never have anything like that.

I’m always pretty surprised by the sound once it’s done. It’s rarely intentional.

Usually I listen back Qnce it’s done and

SD: What about some o f the South American sounds on the record?

AP: Well, I’ve listened to that stuff for­ ever, and a lot of it, but I don’t think there’s actually that much of it on this new record. There’s some, but just because the title is in another language doesn’t mean to imply that the music all has some crazy Brazilian tinge to it.

There’s one song, “Milton Road,” that is directly influenced by Milton Nascimento, and I certainly do listen to him. That’s an obvious Brazil reference, but all the pop shit is more like, I don’t know, the first Lilys album, maybe.

SD: What are three records any fan o f Mice Parade should spend some time get­ ting to know?

AP: The first record by D ’Gary, a gui­ tarist from Madagascar. I would have to say Milton Nascimento, a record he did in 1974 with Los Borges. That fecord is insane. And then, how about My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless? Or any given Fugazi record.

• m c',r SD: Do you feel tied in to a larger scene o f musicians?

AP: It’s more like feeling like an infant in a world of people I can learn more from. Fuck all that other shit, that post­ rock shit. I always thought that was a weird term anyway. I thought it should have been “instrumental guitar math jazz” [laughs]. It’s trying to give its mid­ dle finger to rock, really, not trying to lead from it. (Z)

ARTWORK

"Ondis," by A ndrew K line PHOTO

Marc A w odey

ne o f the great American masters of black-and-white photography, Edward W eston said in what m ust have been a tongue-in-cheek m om ent, “N othing more than 500 yards away from the car is photogenic." It is fortunate that Weston did more than landscapes. In his 50-year career, he produced a var­ ied body o f images that included figu­ rative work and abstracted still lifes -as well as landscapes. Although he claimed to have renounced the narra­ tive qualities o f photography in the late 1930s, it m ight also be said that everything he did was actually a por­ trait — o f textures, shadows and form.

T hose same form alist qualities are p aram o u n t in the w ork o f V erm ont p h otographer A ndrew Kline. His current exhibition o f black-andw hite photography at the Suprem e C o u rt building in M ontpelier, e n ti­ tled “G eom etry o f L ight,” encom ­ passes a wide array o f subjects. But as in W estons w ork, K lines pieces are n o t necessarily about the people, places and objects th at they literally depict.

“Broom ,” for example, is not about a broom. It is a_roughly triangular mass o f scruffy textures, described by gray tonalities and existing in the m id­ dle o f black, negative space. W hile that may sound like esoteric artspeak to some, one need only compare the tex­ tural disparities o f “Broom” to “W hite Rose,” which hangs next to it. In both works, the figure-ground relationship is as simple as can be — just a cen­ tered form in a dark space — and the com positions are identical. But the textures o f straw and rose petals are in dram atic opposition.

There are other textural antipodes as well: wooden broom handle versus glass vase, threads binding the broom versus stem and thorns. A more subtle contrast is the difference in scale. T he broom and the rose are not the same size in real life, but they appear to be in Kline’s pieces.

This exhibition comprises about 40 photos, and while m any o f the images are related, Kline seems to approach

white clapboard “O ld West C hurch” is a triptych with individual images num bered I, II and III from left to right. Images I and II seem like a con­ joined view running from a rear corner to the front, while III focuses on the church’s cupola. T he geometry o f the triptych is highly complex, but its details are extremely simple.

A piece o f rural architecture also serves as the starting point for “Saudek’s Barn,” but the barn bears lit­

cally no neck. Kline has again captured opposites w ith this pair. A lthough diptychs are not ostensibly part o f his portfolio, on close examination o f this show, they seem to appear frequently, just not always side by side.

“Boardwalk” and “H udson River” make another interesting pair. Both pieces have distant, centered vanishing points that seem to make the land­ scape endless. “H udson River” is a shot straight upstream from inside a

tie similarity to “O ld West C hurch.”

T he barn is gritty, and its weathered gray clapboards are broken and decrepit while the whitewashed church clapboards are well cared for. A stone foundation ties the barn to the soil, just as the church’s cupola ties it to heaven. Kline saw a whole new set o f textures in “Saudek’s Barn,” and pres­ ents the viewer w ith an entirely new statement.

“W alter” and “O ndis” are like opposing sides o f a coin. T he former is a silhouette facing left, while the latter is a head in profile facing right.

“O ndis” is bald and his face is slightly upturned, giving him a long, graceful neck. “W alter” is a shadow with coarse |ir, a heavier brow and practi-

sailboat. T he prow in the foreground seems to be gliding over sm ooth water framed by the banks o f the river.

“Boardwalk” is like a railroad w ithout rails, traversing a flat wetland. T he horizontal boards o f the boardwalk provide a nice counterpoint to the sharp, straight edges rushing to meet eternity at the horizon.

Kline appears to eschew the narra­ tive possibilities o f photography, just as his forebear W eston did, but his w ork tells stories nevertheless. T hey are con­ structed from abstract visual building blocks, as well as from the poetry o f light and shadow; If you can begin to understand the photographer’s lan­ guage, his pictures tell a thousand

PREVIEWS ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN: In this comic 1948 classic the pair play baggage handlers shocked to discover Dracula and Frankenstein's monster among the contents of a shipment from Europe.

With the Wolfman and the Invisible Man. (83 min, NR)

Monster ★ ★ ★ ★

FEMALE TRO UBLE

Ricci and Theron are paired in Patty Jenkins' powerful saga of love and serial murder.

n the astonishingly nifty new picture from writer-director Patty Jenkins, Charlize Theron undergoes a couple of extreme makeovers: There is, of course, the metamorphosis of the 28year-old starlet into the hulking human trainwreck that was Aileen Wuornos, the Florida prostitute executed in 2002 for the murders of seven men. From a technical standpoint, this physical transformation is no mean feat.

It pales in comparison, however, to Therons artistic transfor­ mation. With a single performance, she has made the leap from B-movie babydoll to serious actress, and snagged a Golden Globe in the process. I don’t think a better performance was given last year — and it was a year in which Sean Penn gave two great ones.

Monster chronicles the weeks prior to Wuornos’ arrest, a peri­ od during which the troubled woman summoned the strength to take one last shot at a happy, normal life. As the film opens, we find her under an overpass, cradling a long-barreled pistol and preparing to end an existence defined from its beginning by emotional and physical abuse. Suddenly she’s distracted by the realization that she has a five-dollar bill in her pocket. Figuring it would be a shame to let it go to waste, Theron makes her way to the nearest bar and, ordering a glass of its cheapest beer, makes a request of the Almighty: If anything good is ever going to be sent her way, let it arrive before this money runs out.

For a minute the world seems like a place in which such prayers are not only heard but actually answered. The place, as it turns out, is a gay bar, and watching her from across the room is a young woman who is about to change her life. Christina Ricci costars as Selby Wall, an 18-year-old living in her aunt’s guest­ house after being banished by her father for experimenting with lesbianism. Wall offers to buy Wuornos a drink. The act is signif­ icant both because it results in the pair making a sort of love connection and because it’s the last time we will see the younger woman give anything to the older one.

As Jenkins sees it, the dynamic between the two is key to an understanding of Wuornos and what she did next. Theron does a terrific job of suggesting the range of feelings, especially the touching sense of hope, the relationship inspired in this beatendown woman. After spending most of her life in a vicious cycle, which had men either rejecting her or paying for her, having someone to love and love her back was like winning the lottery.

Theron emanates a moving mixture of happiness, pride and surprise when she swaggers into another bar a few nights later, a cigarette in one hand, her pther arm around Ricci, and

announces to no one in particular, “This here’s my girlfriend.”

It’s as though the whole world has been a club that’s kept her out and finally she’s invited in.

In the couple’s conception of a normal relationship, one part­ ner provides and the other is provided for. Wuornos was eager to take on the role of provider, and that was her undoing; while she evidently wanted with all her heart to go straight, the only way she knew how to make a living was by hooking.

There’s a tragicomic strain running through Monster right up to the end. One of the film’s most unforgettable moments comes when Theron puts on her interpretation of a business outfit and goes job-hunting. “I’m really good with people,” she beams eluelessly to one interviewer. Another gets a taste of her wrath when he suggests she doesn’t have the right to decide so late in the game that she wants what everybody else has been their lives to get.

He gets oft easy, though, compared contacts. The first guy she kills and robs tution had it coming. He raped and gests he may even have intended to kill why she does the same to the others? satisfies a couple of needs: money and payback for a mistreatment by men. In other words, given that her with Wall was going to last only as long as she continued to bring home the bucks, Wuornos may have done it for love as much as for hate.

Had Wall gotten off her butt and taken a job at Burger King instead of letting Wuornos do what she did and then ratting on her, things might have had a happier ending. She may not have spilled a drop of blood, but Wall is as much a monster as is Wuornos, if you ask me. Maybe more. And Ricci’s performance is every bit as slyly masterful as Therons.

Jenkins’ film ranks as one of the past year’s very best. Like In Cold Blood, The Onion Field and Dead Man Walking before it, her picture provides a mesmerizing portrait of the human side of evil. No one has done this more affectingly than Jenkins & Co. do it here. Certainly no one has in the case of a criminal who happened to be female.

Monster doesn’t for a minute suggest that what Wuornos did wasn’t repellent. Rather it reminds us that there was beauty somewhere in the soul of this beast, and asks us to wonder what might have become of her had someone better than Selby Wall gotten a glimpse of it first. ®

unattainable Griet becomes Vermeer’s student, critic, model and muse.

Unspoken desire adds exciting m om entum to this sometimes slow­ paced cinematic meditation. Their complex bond transcends the physical attraction between them, which hap­ pens to be considerable.

Johansson navigated a similar pas de deux with Bill M urray this year for Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation, also about an older man with more sensitivity than her age-appropriate male partner. Both films wisely opt for M ay-September flirtations that remain unconsum m ated. In this era when lines are regularly blurred between sex and pornography, repressed passion can be so m uch more interesting.

W hat’s left to the imagination in Girl with a Pearl Earring has a strong erotic charge. Just a furtive look — G od forbid an accidental touch — keeps these protagonists dizzy from the whirlwind o f their impossible dream. It’s art with a wildly beating heart.T. Y'N ,

Watching traces that snippet o f histo­ ry through interviews w ith journalists who covered the Reagan administra­ tion’s assault-by-surrogates on the impoverished developing country. T he docum entary is one o f almost 30 intriguing selections at the Green M ountain Film Festival in Montpelier, March 19-28.

Since Otar Left, from the former Soviet republic o f Georgia, focuses on three generations o f women faced with a death in the family. Open Hearts, a Danish drama in the “dogma” genre, examines how an acci­ dent transforms the lives o f a loving couple. James' Journey to Jerusalem follows a young man whose church in an African village sends him on a mission to Israel, where he’s prom ptly locked up as an illegal alien.

Blessed are the cheesemakers!

T h a t’s a particularly witty, albeit irrev­ erent, line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. T he 1983 biblical comedy has been restored and will screen at the fest. A nother golden oldie: I Vitelloni, Federico Fellini’s 1953 saga about five slackers in an Italian coastal town who will tu rn 30 w ithout m uch to show for it.

been dubbed Griet, a newly hired maid in Vermeer’s bustling hom e on the garbage-strewn streets o f Delft. As played by Scarlett Johansson, the teenager’s intelligence shines through a lowly position that requires her to remain virtually silent and invisible.

T he fact that Griet is all-too-visible to Vermeer, portrayed by Colin Firth with brooding intensity, irritates his jealous wife Catharina (Essie Davis).

She may have his sperm, producing more than a dozen offspring, but the servant is really a perfect mate for this painter w ith a rebellious soul. Graced by an unruly m op o f hair and piercing eyes, he is a latent bohemian trapped in domestic conformity.

Catharina’s m other (Judy Parfitt) rules the household with a matriarchal iron fist, wheeling and dealing to ensure Vermeer will sell enough can­ vasses to support his ever-burgeoning family. A lecherous patron nam ed van Ruijven (Tom W ilkinson) commis­ sions a picture o f Griet. To protect herself from his inexhaustible lust, she succumbs to some love-free romance with a handsome butcher’s apprentice (Cillian M urphy).

By then, Griet has found a calling.

Expected to clean Vermeer’s studio, she’s hesitant to wash the windows because “it may change the light.” He encourages her intuitive understand­ ing o f his aesthetic process in defiance o f their rigidly class-based, misogynist society.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT:

t’s easy to see why author Tracy Chevalier chose “Girl W ith a Pearl Earring,” an oil painting by Johannes Vermeer, as the topic for her identical­ ly titled 2001 novel. Female faces tend to be less distinct in the 17th-century D utch artist’s other works. This por­ trait o f a radiant young wom an, lips slightly parted as she glances over her left shoulder w ith a look o f sensual innocence, seems far more intimate.

When I was thirteen, my best friend and I snuck out of camp one night and made our way together through the woods to the summer residence of a famous Hollywood director. We'd heard rumors of strange goings on and were curious. We could hear his radio as we approached. It was playing the music of a German speed metal band.

A light was on in the rundown boathouse and we heard a man's voice say, "What's the matter, honey, thirsty?"

At that time every newspaper in America was covering the disap­ pearance of a beautiful young starlet, and both of us recognized her immediately when the old man led her out to the swimming pool.

The missing actress' hands were tied behind her back and she appeared to be sobbing. The guy took a bottle of vodka out of the cooler on one of the deck chairs and tried to make her drink from it.

"Anything else I can get you, my dear?" he laughed before starting to dance with a crash test dummy.

This was the point when we realized we were out of time and needed to get back to our bunks as quickly as possible. Youth is a magical chapter in one's life. What fond memories I have of growing up in Maine.

Renowned for work that is “intensely musical, deceptively cerebral, insinuatingly sensual, and fabulously fun ky” (L o s A ngele s Times), the Mark Morris Dance Group is “ lik e nothing else in dance” (New Yorker).

Morris offers Flynn concertgoers a doubly rich experience: five musicians will perform live music in three of the four featured works, including a Mark Morris masterpiece set to Lou Harrison’s G rand D u o for violin and piano. The company will also perform its wildly popular take on the Western swing music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

To get into the sp irit of the reading last Friday at Crow Bookshop, my wife and I took the seats closest to the poetry section.

Perhaps John Engels and Sydney Lea would be heartened to know that I found on the shelves only one volume by either of them — a fairly recent work by Engels. I don't know if this paucity in a secondhand shop reflects the pop­ ularity of their work, but the attentiveness of the crowd certainly did — an impressive 50 didn't let 2 scrawny degrees of Fahrenheit stand between them and poetry. Clearly, the men's poems resonate with many who enjoy the gentle craft Wallace Stevens once referred to as "the supreme fictio n ."

I'll admit the works Engels and Lea read were freer and grittier than the fare in which I usually lose myself. But Engels' "The Palais Royal Ballroom of 1948" nicely evoked an evening of big-band music and heartache, complete with Stan Kenton and "air dense with the fragrance of gardenias." Lea's offerings were a vivid and often brutal mix of nostalgia and sorrow.

Standing behind the Crow counter, the poets rarely looked up while reading, though I noticed most audience members stared intent­ ly at them. Lea kept his palms fla t against the table, his muscular forearms bulging under pushed-up sleeves; Engels riffled professorialty through his pages. Each glanced off to the side now and then, but otherwise read as if in his heaven. Or embarrassed by the attention — and what a shame if that's true. I t takes courage, I should think, to write poetry in the 21 st century, knowing th at relatively few w ill encounter your words. I hope these gentlemen savored every second of the raptneSS and respect accorded them at their reading — a rare honor in an age when attitudes toward poetry can be as arctic as winter air.

Did you hear about the new birth control pill?

I’m port of a research study for a new investigational birth control pill that doesn’t contain steroids so there may be fewer side effects and potential benefits to more women.

I qualified and will receive all study-related care including physical examinations, laboratory services, and investigational medication.

And here’s the best part. I am helping research, and getting compensated for taking part It’s great for students, stay at home moms and women with flexible schedules like me.

As long as you are healthy, under 36 years old. have regular menstrual cycles and not currently taking a hormonal contraceptive, you may qualify too.

BY ROB BREZSNY

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I sug­ gest you deal creatively with budding tension between you and your allies.

Maybe you could convince them to get down on the floor with you and tussle like puppies. Or how about organizing a game of paintball? Gather together in someone’s backyard and throw rocks at dishes, bottles and old TVs. Sneak a boombox into an abandoned building and have a guerrilla dance party. Or stage a Lying Contest in which’everyone com­ petes to tell the most outrageous whop­ pers. Any one of these strategies will go far towards ensuring the success of joint ventures in the coming weeks.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): “Mathematician Paul Erdos used to describe himself as a ‘machine for turning coffee into theorems,’” writes philosopher Helena Cronin at www.edge.org. “In much the same way, genes are machines for turning oxygen, water, light, zinc, cal­ cium and iron into bears, beetles, bacteria or bluebells.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, it’s a per­ fect time to apply this way of thinking to yourself. By the end of this week, see if you can fill in the blanks in the following sentence: “I am a machine for turning _______ in to ________.” In other words, define the nature of the alchemical magic you are here on Earth to carry out.

G E M IN I

(May 21-June 20): In his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, Gemini poet Dante Alighieri described Hell as having nine levels, each deeper in the earth and each filled with more terrible sinners than the one above it. Condemned to the eighth level, along with liars, pimps,

hypocrites and frauds, were astrologers. Yet in another book, The Convivio, Dante expressed a reverence for astrology, calling it the highest and noblest of all the sci­ ences. Was he confused? No. He believed that though astrology is a high and noble science, some of its practitioners abuse it so dreadfully they give it a bad name. Can you do what Dante did, Gemini? Can you comfortably hold big paradoxes? I hope so.

Wherever you seem to see nonsensical incongruities this week, you will need to penetrate deeper and understand better.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): One of the things I like best about the Dalai Lama (our fellow Crab) is his prac­ tical approach to spirituality. An inter­ viewer once urged him to discourse on how to cultivate loving kindness. His Holiness said something like, “That may be too much to ask. How about if we just work on getting the ‘kindness’ part right?” I bring this up, Cancerian, because the astrological omens suggest that there’s nothing more important for you in the coming week than to be chari­ table and helpful. It doesn’t matter whether or not you feel charitable and helpful; be that way anyway.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In Norway, women comprise 40 percent of the govern­ ment, and state-owned businesses are required to have at least 40 percent of their board seats filled by women. Private com­ panies will have to meet this standard by 2005. In contrast; 14 percent of the U.S. government is female, while American women hold 13 percent of their country’s corporate board seats. If you’re thinking what I am, the government and corpora­

tions of our country desperately need a makeover. I nominate the Leo tribe to lead the charge in the coming months. The astrological omens suggest that whatever gender you are, you will have an enhanced ability to promote females and feminine values in any sphere where you have influ­ ence. Start immediately, and be ingenious­ ly relentless.

V IR G O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Jack Nicklaus had more major tournament wins than any other golfer in history. Skill and practice were at the heart of his athletic prowess, but on at least one occasion he tapped into a more mysterious source of power. In 1973, he got into an uncharac­ teristic slump that had him stumped. Then one night he had a dream in which he experimented with a new grip on his clubs.

When he went to the golf course the next morning, he tried the dream’s suggestion.

It worked; his funk ended. I hope you’ll draw inspiration from Nicklaus’ example, Virgo. If you start drawing a blank in your area of expertise, be willing to call on help you’d normally never seek — maybe even the woo-woo kind.

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I invoke Kwan Yin, Chinese goddess of compassion, and ask her to receive the cry of your heart. I pray to Agni, Hindu god of .fire, that he might arouse and feed your most catalytic creativity. I summon Bast, Egyptian goddess of play, to show you how to deepen your commitment to life by having more fun. Finally, I offer a bribe to Lilith, Pagan trickster goddess, in the hope that she will steal one of your inhibitions and reveal to you the location of an erogenous zone you’ve neglected.

SCO RPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)': Astrologer Steven Forrest says that you Scorpios are experts at picking the locks to your unconscious minds. Many of the other signs prefer to keep their hidden depths off-limits, but you are inexhaustible explorers, always burrowing down further into the Scary Unknown to discover more clues to the Great Mystery. Libras may spe­ cialize in fostering beauty and harmony, and Cancers are masters of nurturing, but your sign is adept at busting taboos and undoing repression. I hope you’re ready to live up to your reputation, because the coming weeks will be prime time for your signature brand of soul retrieval.

S A G IT T A R IU S (No. 22-Dec. 21): The way politicians create legislation is akin to how the meat indus­ try makes sausage. The average person might like or benefit from the result, but she’d really prefer not to know how it’s done or what goes into it. Though you may not be a sausage-maker or politician, Sagittarius, I foresee a similar kind of process occupying your attention in the coming week. Your challenge will be to patch together a workable, maybe even attractive outcome by taking care of all the messy details with discreet integrity.

C A P R IC O R N

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s prime time for you to steal good ideas from creative innovators and use them to enhance your life. You’re in an astrologi­ cal phase when imitation of the right influ­ ences — bright and beautiful and benevo­ lent influences — can lead to rapid progress. (Please don’t imitate mediocre, mean-spirited behavior, though.) Copy the

styles of fashion adepts, Capricorn. Borrow the successful methods that your competi­ tors and cohorts have employed at their jobs. Read stories about people who are skilled at the art of living, and adopt their strategies as your own. You should always give credit to your sources, of course. The point is not to pretend you’re the most original thinker in the history of the world, but to make yourself happier and freer.

A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the last 50 years, America’s Great Plains area has lost a third of its popula­ tion, due largely to the disappearance of family farms. People are moving out in droves. Ghost towns are proliferating.

From one perspective, that’s sad, but from another, it’s cause for celebration: The wilderness is returning in some places, and vast herds oT buffalo once again roam the land. Is there any chance you’d con­ sider initiating a comparable transforma­ tion in your inner realms during the com­ ing weeks, Aquarius? Personally, I’d like to see some of your over-civilized parts revert to the natural state. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the cos­ mos agrees with me.

P IS C E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The task you’ll be faced with this week reminds me of what Australian TV per­ sonality Steve Irwin did a few weeks ago.

No, you won’t have to literally stand next to a 13-foot crocodile and feed it a hunk of meat by hand while cradling a baby in your other arm. But you may very well have to be fierce and tender at the same time, or wild and protective or daring and loving.®

S p a c e d O ut

W

ith the arrival of 2004, General Motors’ “different kind of car, different kind of car company” is 22 years . old. Intended as the great Yankee hope for stemming the import tide, Saturn Division was conceived in June 1982, chartered in 1983 and consigned to its fate in Middle Tennessee in 1983. .

Building vehicles in Spring Hill, Tenn., symbol­ ized the kind o f bold, different thinking that was meant to invigorate the entire Saturn project. So was the negotiation of an unprecedented labor contract with the United Auto Workers that, among other things, traded national-level wages for a promise of permanent employment immune from layoffs.

Then, o f course, there were the plastic cars bearing their no-haggle prices.

In July 1990, the first Saturn production car, a sedan, rolled off the assembly line as a 1991 model. Excitement over Saturn’s import-fighting coupes and sedans flour­ ished momentarily in a burp of marketing creativity.

But Saturn never properly left the launch pad.

Plastic cars that shopping carts couldn’t ding never really galvanize^ the motoring public. The virtue of no-haggle negotiations became an inconvenient vice when Saturn salespeople —- er, “consultants” — dis­ covered they were hamstrung by inflexible prices for vehicles perceived as inferior to comparable Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans. When sales and assembly lines slowed, a policy o f no layoffs suddenly became synony­ mous with a policy of fence-painting and landscaping chores for a contractually irreducible workforce.

In short, the vaunted Saturn mission is in jeop­ ardy; and mid-course corrections intended to restore Saturn’s upward trajectory appear unintentionally ironic. First comes news that plastic bodywork will become a thing o f the past as new Saturn models are introduced henceforth. “The heck with dings,” the car-buying public seems to be saying, “give me proper fit and finish for my $ 15-grand.” Compared to the micro-fine tolerances between the sheet metal panels ' of a Honda or a Toyota, the inherently unavoidable width and irregularity of gaps between plastic panels look positively sloppy.

Then it’s announced that Saturn’s tardy but competent contender in the compact SUV category will be boasting an optional 3.5-liter V6 for 2004.

What the press materials don’t actually reveal, however, is that the V6 is a sexy single-overhead-cam VTEC engine built by Honda. Wasn’t it a pseudoZenmaster in the movie Karate Kid who intoned, “You must become the enemy to defeat the enemy” — or something like that?

Taking another page out of the import playbook, Saturn is now kinda-sorta haggling with its prices and financing. How else to interpret an aggressive $ 159 down and six-year $ 159 per month incentive deal for a base-model Ion? Or more to the point, how else can Saturn effectively parry sales threats from the likes of Hyundai and Kia? Then, there’s word that Saturn’s UAW workforce is finally contemplating an “hasta la vista, baby” for its very different and unique labor agreement. In return for substantial GM investments in Saturn’s manufac­ turing facilities and a redoubled corporate commit­ ment to make future Saturn products fly, Tennessee’s UAW rank-and-file have voted overwhelmingly to put their no-layoff status on the table. Over the next four years, Saturn wages will slowly evolve to match those of their UAW brethren elsewhere in the U.S.; and future layoffs become a distinct possibility as a result.

In 2004, Saturn reaches the end of its beginning.

For the 12 model years from ‘91 to ‘03, Saturn vehicles attempted to define themselves in terms dictated by their predominandy Asian archrivals. What the import automakers do, Saturn elected not to do. The Asians generally succeed; Saturn pointedly does not. It’s time to adapt, to modify principles, to re-define Saturn not as a myopic “import-fighter” but as a broadly appeal­ ing sales enticer. The 2004 Saturns, despite belonging conceptually to Saturn’s past, are nevertheless impor­ tant transition models for a car company determined to reach its apogee in the future. ®
