<letters> GROWTH COMMUNITY

Stephanie Maull’s article in last week’s Seven Days, “The Other Poor” [April 6] shares a straightforward account of the decisions a person faces when a paycheck or unemployment check doesn’t adequately cover the basics of shelter, health care and food.

Maull poses the question, “As for fruits and vegetables, how can I afford them?”

Her question hits home as food costs continue to rise in tandem with fuel costs. And while higher produce prices may be good for farmers, it’s likely that the high cost of food in the grocery store is more directly tied to the transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables to Vermont from distant locations.

Rather than relying on a food system built on cheap energy and national corporations, perhaps we should be thinking instead about sustaining local farms and expanding neighborhood garden spaces.

Before the rise of supermarkets, corporate agriculture and national distribution systems, most of the fresh produce grown locally stayed local. No matter what the weather conditions, Vermonters from all walks of life could count on having food available in the garden or pantry.

Although the Vermont growing season is relatively short, it’s entirely possible for an individual

or family to produce enough vegetables in a home or community garden for fresh eating, sharing with neighbors, and preserving for winter use. The rub is that it usually takes a little help to learn to garden — which is where the community aspect comes in.

At the Community Teaching Garden at Ethan Allen Homestead, 24 beginning gardeners in limited-income situations will learn how to garden this summer. The program, which was started in 2003, is sponsored by Friends of Burlington Gardens with support from Gardener’s Supply, the Vermont Community Foundation, and the UVM Extension Master Gardeners.

Classes are held Monday and Thursday evenings at the Homestead.

The program is designed around the needs of people who want to learn how to garden organically and how to share this experience with others. The application deadline for the Community Teaching Garden is April 30. Please call me at 6585733 if you are in a limitedincome situation and would like to learn the basics of growing your own food.

THANKS, BPD Regarding Peter Freyne’s comment that the Burlington Police were extremely “tight-lipped” about the investigation into the murder of Laura Winterbottom [“Inside Track,” March 30]: I don’t know if Mr. Freyne’s comment . . . was meant as criticism or not, but I know that in recent weeks the Old North End community has been outspoken about their frustration towards the Burlington police for not providing more information about the investigation sooner.

As a friend of Laura’s, however, I did not want to let these criticisms pass without expressing my sincere thanks to the Burlington Police for the way they’ve handled the investigation of her death. The officers who have been in touch with her friends over the past few weeks have all been unfailingly kind, all the while putting in incredibly long hours to find out what happened to Laura that night. Their consideration and dedication has been much appreciated during a very difficult time.

I am sure that everyone in the community has exercised greater caution and vigilance since Laura’s murder, even without knowing details. Personally, I am very grateful that the police were circumspect about releasing information so as not to jeopardize the investi-

VISION CHECK To Ethan Covey: Perhaps you should have listened more deeply to my healing messages and looked more clearly into my

website to realize the awesome, dedicated artist that I am before you destroyed my work in your immature review of my Melody CD in your March 30 issue [“Review This”]. It really hurt.

You have no idea of all the wisdom contained within my music which you call “fluffy, mediocre pop!”

I am a visionary, recording artist, performer, children’s music teacher and music minister. My music is a rhythmic,

melodic reflection and expression of years of healing and studying many different spiritual and musical traditions. The songs on Melody were produced and played by some of the greatest musicians in the world! The messages invite listeners to dance, sing, believe in love, feel their souls, feel their pain, get in touch with the earth, give to the earth, pray, unite and celebrate life! I “walk my talk” and have been bringing positive music into the

communities for 20 years now at a great but devoted personal sacrifice!

Life isn’t all “sex, drugs and rock & roll!” We need to go deeper and support the people who are really trying to make a positive difference here in this crazy, challenging world. I expected much more from such a great paper as Seven Days. I will request to the editors that they hire reviewers that have a deeper understanding of real art and spirit, which is what music is meant to be!

ROCKING CONCERT This is in response to the musical review of Lez Zeppelin [“Those ’70s Shows,” March 23]. I felt that I must have been at a totally different concert than Casey Rea, but I wasn’t. I thought that, yeah, the band could have been a bit tighter, but that comes with practice. But to have really not much positive to say about this band I thought was so far from my reality. I thought Lez Zeppelin rocked! They had amazing energy, and the guitarist got the closest to Jimmy Page’s sound that I’ve ever heard. I would also give these women credit for even trying to be a cover band for such a wellknown and prolific band as Led

Zeppelin. When they come back through, I will definitely be at the show. As for Casey, maybe next time you’ll wake up on the right side of the bed.

FREYNE FALLIBILITY Regarding Mr. Freyne’s “Papal Diversion” [“Inside Track,” April 6]: I have picked up my last Seven Days. In its stead, I will look for the most ludicrous tabloid in my local markets. I believe the sum tradeoff will be positive. Instead of reading an over-the-top, sensational, interesting, eh? diatribe on Pope John Paul’s contributions to this world, I can at least laugh at the latest Michigan Elvis sighting.

Mr. Freyne’s myopic and cynical views on a great life lived and those who chose to acknowledge such a life represent much of what typifies our cultural ills these days. What if Bush et al. went to Rome for the right reasons? Journalism, eh?

“April is the cruelest month”

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

“April is the coolest month” —LEUNIG’S

DINNER FOR 2 $30

Environmental Juggling pollution into Chittenden County’s already “impaired” streams. The board said shopping-center owners would henceforth need federal stormwater permits.

Sounds reasonable, eh?

To Chris Kilian, the veteran environmental lawyer representing the Conservation Law Foundation, the WRB decision made perfect sense.

“The board basically said that existing polluters in these five watersheds are contributing to water quality standards violations and therefore have to get regulated under the federal Clean Water Act. That means they would actually have to clean up the pollution they’re causing.”

Polluters would have to shell out some dough to clean up their act. Nothing too radical there, eh?

“That’s the way the laws are supposed to work,” noted Kilian. “That’s why we have environmental laws. If somebody’s causing a problem they’re required to clean it up.

That’s all the board said.”

Unfortunately, a lot of folks don’t see it that way. The Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation, the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce, shopping center magnate Ernie Pomerleau and others went ballistic. The WRB decision, they said, would both kill development and prohibit cleanup efforts. And these business types have friends in high places.

The Agency of Natural Resources, the attorney general and the governor are all firmly in their corner. Instead of supporting the 5-0 ruling of the WRB (a board that had two Douglas appointees), the state is fighting the ruling tooth and nail. And last week, Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Skoglund issued a “stay” — halting the implementation of the board’s decision until the full Supreme Court hears the case later this year.

In one published report over the weekend, Vermont’s official environmental protector, Tom Torti, said he was “heartened”

by Skoglund’s ruling.

“What this does,” said Torti, secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources since January, “is allow us to enact provisions under Act 140 and we don’t have to develop a parallel federal procedure for which rules and regulations do not exist.”

Act 140 is the Douglas administration’s stormwater legislation that passed last year.

Mr. Kilian was flabbergasted by Torti’s statement.

Kilian noted that Act 140 clearly says the state’s environmental secretary “shall implement two stormwater permitting programs.” One is to be based on the federal Clean Water Act and the second, “under the Byzantine state law they set up,” does nothing to clean up already polluted streams.

“Act 140 does not require existing polluters to change their behavior in any way,” said Kilian, “unless and until they expand their operations or there is a redevelopment of an existing site. That’s the only way these guys are roped in.”

Courtney agreed, noting Act 140 did not address the matter of cleaning up existing stormwater pollution that is pouring into already polluted streams.

“That’s why we never took the option off the table,” said Courtney. “That if [existing INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

o many Americans, the state of Vermont is synonymous with environmental stewardship.

Long before Vermont became a household word with the adoption of civil unions for gay couples in 2000, and the exciting presidential campaign of Howard Dean three years later, Vermont was recognized nationally as a leader on the environmental protection front.

After all, this is the state that banned ugly highway billboards and started an annual Green-Up Day decades ago. The state that took the lead in protecting the landscape from the “Anywhere USA” look with the passage of Act 250 in 1970.

Vermont is the state that led the charge in the 1980s against the acid-rain pollution produced by coal-burning power plants in the Midwest.

But in the Vermont of the 21st century, many things have changed. And one of them is the power of environmentalism on our state’s political pecking order. Sure, there’s plenty of lip service, but the dark little secret is, Vermont isn’t as green as it used to be.

The change actually began, we’d argue, in the early 1990s. It was the dawning of the Age of Dean.

As a presidential candidate and now as the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean may well sound like a born-again liberal, but the Howard Dean who governed Vermont through the 1990s was a pro-business moderate who viewed environmentalists as extremists.

Gov. Dean showed his true colors early.

In an unprecedented move, Ho-Ho publicly criticized the Environmental Board’s 1993 decision on C&S Wholesalers’ Brattleboro expansion. The E-Board functioned as a judicial panel. No governor had ever butted in after the fact and publicly criticized an E-Board decision.

Chaired by Elizabeth Courtney, an appointee of Republican Gov. Richard Snelling, the board had put conditions on the company’s Act 250 permit. Air pollution was the issue. The company didn’t like it.

Dean’s outburst emboldened Republicans in the state senate. They subsequently punished Courtney by denying her reappointment the following winter. Environmentalists have been on the defensive ever since.

These days Elizabeth Courtney is executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council, a leading environmental group active since the 1960s.

“I wouldn’t give the state of Vermont high marks in environmental protection lately,” Courtney told Seven Days this week. “I think we’ve been resting on our laurels for a decade.”

Queen Elizabeth’s got a point.

But last year, the clean-air-and-water crowd experienced something of a comeback — not through legislation but through good legal work.

The first victory was in federal court in May. Environmental groups successfully argued that the Douglas administration was violating the Clean Air Act in its hastiness to construct the controversial Circumferential Highway.

The second win came in October when the Water Resources Board unanimously ruled against dumping more stormwater

McKnight Takes On Burlington Code Enforcement When serial bomber Eric Robert Rudolph pled guilty last week to a series of attacks in Alabama and Georgia — including the deadly blast that killed one person and injured 111 others during the 1996 summer Olympic Games in Atlanta — it was particularly welcome news to one of Burlington’s newest city employees. Gregory McKnight II, who started work last week as the new director of the Burlington Department of Code Enforcement, was at the 1996 Olympic Games at the time of the terrorist attack. In fact, he was the supervisor of public health in Centennial Park, and was responsible for overseeing the management of food safety, solid waste, sewage and the like.

“Atlanta was a very interesting learning experience,” says McKnight, 35. “I never saw so much trash before in my life,” he says of the largest and arguably most chaotic Olympic Games to date. The bombing notwithstanding — park security was someone else’s job — he’s proud of the fact that no public-health issues arose on his watch.

McKnight comes to Burlington from Denver, Colorado, where he worked for the last six years in that city’s Neighborhood Inspection Office. Though his job here will

likely be a bit calmer than his one-month stint at the Olympics, his responsibilities will be considerable. McKnight replaces interim director Gene Bergman in managing a city department that oversees everything from zoning permits to parking regulations to insect and pest control. The office also maintains an apartment registry of some 10,000 rental units, and is responsible for ensuring that those dwellings are safe and in compliance with all applicable building codes.

Burlington’s Code Enforcement Office has been in a holding pattern, of sorts, since the abrupt resignation in June 2004 of its director, Ray O’Connor, amid questions about the office’s effectiveness.

McKnight says his first goal will be to “make sure everybody is on the same page,” improve customer service, and make his staff more accessible and accountable to the public. As for what specific changes he might implement in the coming months, McKnight demurs that he’s only been in the position a few days and is still learning the ropes. “I’ve been deluged. I’m just trying to keep my head above the top of the sink right now,” he says. “But there are always ways of doing things smarter.”

Suit Targets Home Health Care In the business world, it’s considered common courtesy to give an employer at least two weeks’ notice before quitting a job. And that’s about how much notice many of Vermont’s elderly, poor and most severely disabled residents received before being told about cuts in the basic services they need to keep them out of hospitals and nursing homes.

In a March 15 letter to 1800 of its clients, the Vermont Department of Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) announced that as of April 1, it was reducing benefits under the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver Program. This allows Vermonters who are severe-

These are people who are literally on the doorstep of a nursing home.

WILLIAM DYSART, VERMONT LEGAL AID ly disabled and require significant personal care to receive in-home assistance as an alternative to being admitted to a nursing home. The program pays for care providers to help them with bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, laundry, shopping and other daily activities.

Vermont Legal Aid’s Senior Citizen Law Project has filed a class-action lawsuit in Washington Superior Court to stop the cuts from taking effect. According to project staff attorney William Dysart, the financial impact would be devastating to Vermont’s most vulnerable citizens, who were never given an opportunity to comment on or voice opposition to the policy change.

<localmatters> quickly. Redmond reports that demand has been particularly high the past two years. “The minute someone announces they’re going out of business,” he notes, “a long line forms and lots of businesses start vying for those available spots.”

ECCO owner Allen says that despite the costs, it’s worth it to be on the main drag. “The difference in traffic and everything is phenomenal,” she says. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

WHAT’S IN, AND OUT Liquid Energy closed on Church St. but will have cafés in health clubs; Zinnia, a jewelry store, is moving in.

local matters 11A

... in the heart of the Old North End!

The Church Street Shuffle Alex Pintair sometimes still answers the phone at Liquid Energy, his Church Street soup-and-smoothie café, but these days the doors are closed and locked.

If you’re looking for a fruity concoction with a shot of wheat grass, you’ll have to visit the outpost at Racquet’s Edge.

Pintair says his decision to downsize and focus on cafés in health clubs was just a move to more effectively target his customers, and not necessarily a reaction to the rising cost of doing business on Church Street. But he doesn’t deny that rents on the Marketplace are “high and getting higher.”

Liquid Energy is one of several downtown businesses that have closed or relocated in the past few months, and shoppers and diners are curious to see what will replace them. In this case, the new tenant will be yet another jewelry store; last week Zinnia Inc. filed a zoning permit to begin a $50,000 renovation that will turn the former café into downtown Burlington’s twelfth bijouterie.

While there may be room for local businesses on the luxury end of the retail spectrum, there’s less room everywhere else. Some retailers say it’s getting tougher to be an independent operation on a street increasingly dominated by national chains. ECCO owner Lara Allen, whose clothing shop has been on Church Street for 13 years, says stores like Old Navy are driving up rents and offering lower merchandise prices that are difficult to match. “It’s been very hard to compete on a lot of different levels,” Allen says.

But Yves Bradley, a real estate agent with the Pomerleau Agency and co-owner of The Body Shop, says Church Street rates are still reasonable compared to what retailers pay in cities such as Boston. Bradley, who’s in charge of the former Champlain Clothing Co. space on the block between Cherry and Bank Streets, estimates that Marketplace street-front space rents for $20 to $40 per square foot; space above or below street level fetches roughly $8 to $15 per square foot. Bradley notes the street-front rate is comparable to what you might find in Boston’s Fanueil Hall.

But he points out that the Triple Net Lease fees — in which businesses must pay a percentage of their profits to cover maintenance and Marketplace costs — are lower here; $8.50 per square foot compared to $45 in Boston. “In perspective, it’s damn cheap,” Bradley says.

Regardless of who moves in, says Ron Redmond, director of the Church Street Marketplace Association, the spaces will undoubtedly fill up

that they’re going to lose these services,” says Dysart. “These are people who are literally on the doorstep of a nursing home.”

The Senior Citizens Law Project filed the suit March 31 on behalf of 1800 recipients of the program, as well as four specific plaintiffs who are profoundly disabled and unable to care for themselves. Each stands to lose at least several weekly hours of personal care, which could result in some of them having to leave their homes. Currently, the state pays for only part of their daily care.

“This is a great program,” says Dysart. “It’s been a win-win situation for the state and the beneficiaries because it saves Medicaid long-term care dollars, it allows people to age in [their homes], get services and avoid institutionalization.”

Admittedly, the cuts don’t take effect all at once. Recipients of the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver Program are evaluated every 12 months from the date they began participating to see how their personal needs have changed. As clients reach their anniversary, the state will reevaluate their needs and scale them back under the new policy.

As of press time, a spokesperson with DAIL could not be reached for comment. The cuts are likely due to federal budget slashes to Medicaid, which could result in a shortfall of about $80 million in Vermont this year.

judge in Breda allowed a 46-year-old bank robber to claim the cost of his gun as a legitimate business expense. The robber set the price of his pistol at $2630, and the judge lowered his fine by that amount while sentencing him to four years in jail. “You can compare criminal acts to normal business activities, where you must invest to make profits, and thus you have costs,” Leendert De Lange of the Dutch prosecutors’ service said, explaining that the judge followed sound legal precedents.

never thought anything could get me yearning for the good old days of Terri Schiavomania, but if anything did, it was the death of the pope.

“Major news media around the world devoted 10 times as many stories to Pope John Paul II’s death as they did to the reelection of President Bush,” according to an AP wire report last week.

“The Global Language Monitor, which scans the Internet for the use of specific words or phrases using Roman characters, found 35,000 new stories on the pope in the 24 hours after his death. That compares with about 3500 new stories on Bush within a day of his re-election and 1000 new stories on former President Reagan within a day of his death last year.”

Pressed to account for this unprecedented glut of Pope-o-philia, Paul J.J. Payack,

You can actually feel the Leader of the Free World groping to remember whatever it was they told him before they let him off the ranch. president of Global Language, said, “The jump reflected the Roman Catholic pontiff’s influence.”

Come again? More influential than Reagan? More “influential” than Bush?

Somehow, I doubt it.

“He was tied in history,” Payack stammered, “probably more than any pope in contemporary time.” This isn’t surprising, John Paul II being the only pope “in contemporary time,” and “history” meaning nothing to anyone outside the academy and a few stragglers who might recall it. We don’t know what some other pope “in contemporary time” might have been like.

Sheesh! I’d say that’s the extent of my pope-bashing, but it isn’t, quite. I regard the late pontiff as neither wonderful nor more appalling than any other provincial prelate elevated to supreme power in a secretive and reactionary institution. Like many, John Paul II outlived his century, which was the 19th. Ask any woman who’s been told to lie down and take it, any boy “interfered with” by a priest, or anyone unlucky enough to be caught in the middle of an AIDS epidemic — which is to say, an awful lot of people.

OK, enough! If “the media” can divert their attention so quickly, without pause, so can I. I never thought, either, that I’d feel sorry for Prince Charles, not to mention Camilla, the “Rottweiler.” But I do right now. I can’t believe the knives that are out for this man (and I was a great fan of his first wife). If I were Charles, I’d have told my mother to attend the pope’s funeral herself and gone right ahead with my wedding plans. But, of course, as Her Majesty once said to Diana with a wink, “Charles is hopeless.”

How’s that for “family values?” People should stop thinking about “the royals” as if they were “the same as us.” They’re not.

If they are, there’s no point in having them.

Witness Laura Bush, the “First Lady,” who traveled to Afghanistan recently for a whole six hours, backed by the full might of the U.S. military and the Secret Service, and afterward declared, “I knew we’d be safe.

Afghanistan is safe. There are certainly parts of it that aren’t right now. But, in general, I think it is a very safe place to travel.”

Uh-huh. I never thought I’d end up hating Laura Bush, because I never thought I’d have to think about someone like Laura Bush, much less her grinning, back-slapping, mentally challenged fraud of a husband. “Left-wing” columnist Sheila Samples, in a recent editorial, quotes Dubya verbatim at one of his stage-managed stumps for Social Security “reform” in Tampa, Florida. A woman in the (preselected) audience asked Ding-Dong to explain what this revolting Republican scam was really about, “in words that she could understand,” and this was the reply: “Because the — all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There’s a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It’s kind of muddled.”

Kind of? Reading it, you can actually feel the Leader of the Free World groping to remember whatever it was they told him before they let him off the ranch. The full extent of the (second) Bush disaster, if we’re lucky enough to survive it, won’t be known for many years. But the responsibility for it lies squarely with a “media” so craven, so besotted with money, power and “access,” so rife with phony pundits, talking heads, vicious blondes, gloating voices and drooling “experts” that it will not — it cannot — confess its own complicity in the destruction of the American state.

And, oh, yes — here’s the first Mrs. Bush, Barbara, “America’s Favorite Grandmother” and one of the wealthiest women on the planet, helping Junior sock it to the poor at another Florida rally for Social Security “reform.”

“I’m here because your father and I have 17 grandchildren,” this pearl-encrusted monster explained, fawning to a man so rude and graceless she couldn’t allow him anywhere near the Queen of England when H.M. dined at the White House in 1989.

“And we want to know, is someone going to do something about it?”

Too late, Granny — way too late.

Dubya, as always, got his own way, accosting Her Majesty despite all efforts to stop it.

“I’m the black sheep of my family,” he said with a grin. “Who’s yours?”

“None of your business,” the Queen replied. And those, my friends, really were the days. m

of political reporting in the state, and for me it made Seven Days a must-read every week.

Increasingly, he leads the column with commentary — and little or no reporting — on some international or national issue, most of which has little impact on the Vermont political scene.

It seems he’s relying on wit rather than legwork, and he hasn’t got enough to compensate.

And this week [April 6] he leads with bloviation on the Pope’s death?! It’s bad enough that the mainstream media has been All Pope, All the Time. We have to get more in an “alternative” paper?

Time was when “Inside Track” contained lots of excellent reporting and broke important stories about government or corporate malfeasance, but those days seem to have gone. It’s a shame.

TEXAS POPE? Not to think of putting a brake on Freyne’s train of thought regarding Dubya bin Burning Bush, but I think Our Peter should learn to distinguish between “flaunt” and “flout” [“Inside Track,” April 6].

“What?!” I hear you say. “But this is Vermont!”

Not anymore, Bubby.

Further, if Mr. Freyne insults his readers’ intelligence by assuming they watch the Sunday news on TV and don’t also read the outstanding liberal rags he does, then he has a kick coming.

One of those outstanding liberal rags, while paying full attention to John Paul II’s past and passing, did not fail to document in detail the current report on the failings of the belligerent Bush League. In fact, it drew a clear, invidious comparison between Pope and President by labeling the former what the latter would like us to think he is: “The Great Uniter.”

(By the way, despite the ecclesiastical lapses Mr. Freyne catalogues, the population of the faithful has grown to more than 1 billion. Check it out.)

Now here’s a Horrid Thought: While in Rome, Mr. Bush sends his résumé to the Vatican in regard to a major position recently vacated. He proposes to revive the Papal Indulgence racket, which is similar to the Presidential one he is so good at.

He also intends to privatize salvation. He emphasizes his inherent infallibility, and he laughs off the fact that, not being a Catholic, he lacks a prime qualification for the job. “That sort of thing never stopped me before,” he says. “And, you know, ‘Torquey’ Gonzales (that’s short for Torquemada) would make a swell Grand Inquisitor. Just joking, heh, heh, heh.”

BOOKS, NOT BOMBS Laurie Essig wants the School Board to stop the General Dynamics Reading Is Fundamental literacy program book give-away because they (General Dynamics) are “bombmakers” [“Local Matters,” March 30]?

So what will happen if they stop giving away 5400 free books (chosen by the school librarian, not GD) to Burlington school children each year? Will they stop making bombs? Will we pull out of Iraq? Will all current and future war cease? No, no, no. Will General Dynamics leave Burlington (taking 600 jobs with them)? Probably not.

Will the hundreds of Burlington children (including those living in poverty and lowincome situations) be denied free books each year? Yes! When did promoting literacy become a bad thing? School is about teaching the children, not about furthering one’s own political agenda.

As a parent of two elementary school children, I have seen the benefits of this program. Not only do my kids love to get the free books, but last year, thanks to General Dynamics, they got to meet author/illustrator Steven Kellogg — my 6-year-old’s favorite author.

I encourage you all to call your school commissioners, or come to the Curriculum and Policy Committee meeting Tuesday, April 26, yourself, and say, “We will not allow our children to be used as a political tool!”

BAD VIBES Maybe it’s time for a change at City Hall. The favorite spin word down there is “vibrant,” as in, “We have a vibrant downtown.” Yes, we do, along with the “vibrant” retail-wage jobs, the “vibrant” high-end shopping and dining that few, if any, folks from my end of town (Ward 2) can afford. I see more and more people pushing “vibrant” shopping carts filled with empties around the streets. The noise they make is very vibrant. The local real-estate prices are vibrant, as is the price of renting an apartment.

Potholes add to the vibrancy of driving around town, as do the many people who run the red lights with impunity — it gives you that little extra adrenaline rush any time you cross an intersection knowing there is a possibility of being run into by some bonehead trying to beat the light.

I have been living in Burlington for over nine years now, and I can’t remember a serious discussion by City Council about rent control. Part of the reason B’ton is “one of America’s Most Livable Cities” is because of its size. The Legacy Project seems bent on changing

that. Burlington is a nice place to live, but it is becoming very unaffordable to stay.

Waterfront theaters and cityowned cable TV are nice distractions, but they’re not the same as livable-wage jobs for the folks in my end of town — and for the most part the Mayor and the Proggies have failed to bring these jobs to these people. It is time for a change in City Hall and CEDO before B’ton becomes one of “America’s Most Laughable Cities,” turns into a parody of itself, and decays into nothing more than a Yuppie Playground.

Russell V. Paul BURLINGTON

STOP SPRAWL Outside of Burlington, Williston is becoming a developmental disaster. The pastoral Vermont setting we love is being overrun by people seeking to escape the confines of city living. Houses are continually being built further from Burlington. Everyone wants to live in the country, right? The irony is that if everyone owns a big house with a small yard in the country, soon there will be no county left.

More Vermont family farmers are forced out of business every year. Their land gets sold to developers. The result is either a housing development or a box store like Wal-Mart.

Either way, this hurts our community. Wal-Mart replaces food production with the retail of cheap plastic crap; it replaces respectable farm jobs with horrible labor practices and extremely low wages. The store ruins small local business. Soon people are driving a long distance to buy all things plastic from Wal-Mart.

Couple this with the explosion of low-density housing developments and you have a huge problem. These developments are not self-sufficient communities. Instead, they are an extension of the city. This places large demands on the city in terms of infrastructure including, roads, water systems, electricity supply and police and fire services. People spend their time driving places because walking is not an option. Houses and parking lots cover last year’s farm land. The natural environment is devastated and our sense of community suffers.

Sprawl damages our community and our environment. The solution is higher-density development in already developed areas. Rural land on the outskirts of the city can be preserved for everyone’s use and enjoyment. The combination of more cohesive development and access to public natural areas will increase our sense of community.

Preserve rural areas, improve community, and help the environment by combating sprawl.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Gould and Pyle didn’t fully understand the injury they were describing. Whatever the case, the chances of full recovery after having an eye knocked out nowadays are slim — and I bet they weren’t so hot in 1897, either.

Doctors distinguish several conditions, some offering markedly better prospects than others: In traumatic globe luxation the eye is jolted far enough out of its socket for the eyelids to close behind it, but the eye muscles and optic nerve generally remain intact. This injury is plenty serious, but often skillful medical treatment can restore normal sight. In contrast, in traumatic avulsion of the globe the muscles and optic nerve are partially or totally severed, usually because the eye has been knocked completely out of the socket — your classic eyeball-hangingby-a-thread horror story. More cases:

Dear Cecil, I just watched Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday, which I thought was pretty good until somebody’s eye got knocked out of their head. Literally. Has this ever really happened in football? If not, it seems gratuitous to have put this scene in the film. If so — GRROOOOOSSSSSS!!!

Morbidly Curious in Maine Certain parties are now thinking: This is one realm of knowledge in which I’m content to leave my ignorance intact. Buck up, muchachos — at least I’m going to spare you the color photos. Although I couldn’t find an instance of an eye knocked out while its owner was playing football, accidents of this sort do happen, sometimes resulting from surprisingly little force. In Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine (1897), George Gould and Walter Pyle report several cases of what they call exophthalmos, protrusion of the eye from the orbit, or socket: • One man, upon getting up in the morning, blew his nose so violently that “to his horror his left eye extruded from the orbit. With the assistance of his wife it was immediately replaced and a bandage placed over it.” Afterward the eyelid was swollen but apparently there was no permanent damage.

• In some other cases, eyes popped out due to vomiting or excessive coughing.

• One fellow, “during a fire, was struck in the right eye by a stream of water from a hose, violently thrusting the eye backward. Contracting under the double influence of shock and cold, the surrounding tissues forced the eyeball from the orbit, and an hour later [the doctor] saw the patient with the eye hanging by the optic nerve and muscles. Its reduction was easy, and after some minor treatment vision was perfectly restored in the injured organ. Thirty months after the accident the patient had perfect vision, and the eye had never in the slightest way discommoded him.”

Maybe folks were tougher in the old days. Or maybe

• A 17-year-old boy had his right eye knocked out when he flew through the windshield following an auto accident and landed on the pavement 20 feet away. With difficulty surgeons put the eye back in the socket, but vision was gone and eventually the eye had to be removed.

• A 38-year-old drunk . . . well, even those hardened of stomach probably don’t need to hear about this guy, a recipient of a martial-arts blow who subsequently walked into the ER carrying his left eyeball. Suffice it to say that if the eye is fully avulsed, visionwise you’re generally SOL. • A 30-year-old man known for his bulging eyes was involved in a car accident that left him with his right eye protruding, the lids partially closed behind it, and bone fragments in the socket. Surgeons cleaned out and repaired the damaged orbit and eased the eyeball back in. A few months later the patient had normal vision in both eyes.

• A 5-year-old boy fell on his face, causing luxation of one eye — the globe was still basically in its socket, but the lids and lashes were completely hidden behind it. After administering local anesthetic doctors pulled the lids forward and pushed the eye back into place.

Three months later vision was normal. Two similar incidents occurred in Zambia following minor trauma — a 27-year-old man fell on his face and a 14-yearold girl was struck on the forehead by a swinging window. Same treatment as above; vision returned more or less to normal.

Some people are more prone to problems like this than others, mainly those having shallow eye sockets, loose eye ligaments and so on; being a bit pop-eyed can’t help, either. Folks of African descent are said to be at greater risk. Incidentally, Gould and Pyle go on to relate, “In former days there was an old-fashioned manner of fighting called ‘gouging.’ In this brutal contest the combatant was successful who could, with his thumb, press his opponent’s eyeball out.” Imagine what Oliver Stone could do with that.

Health and Welfare

T Bill McKibben is a scholar-inresidence at Middlebury College and the author of The End of Nature.

his column is ostensibly about things environmental — which is why, this month, it’s about the bold and welcome step that the Vermont House Health Care Committee took last Friday with its 9-2 vote for a publicly financed universal-care system. The committee — including two Republicans who joined with the Democrats — hasn’t received the praise it deserves for that gutsy move; its members knew full well they were giving a fat target to the governor and his allies on the far right. So here’s my laurel: This is the beginning of something big; something that will happen not only in Vermont but across the country, and sooner than you may think.

When it does, it will be as much a triumph for the environmental future as any legislation about global warming, acid rain or anything else we think of when writing laws to protect the planet.

Here’s how I figure it: The biggest environmental dilemma we face is out-of-control consumption, a lifestyle built on get-

Europeans may wait longer for operations, but they pay half as much of their GNP for health care as Americans do.

And they live just as long as we do.

and-spend. This is particularly so in America, where we use twice as much stuff as people in Western Europe. It’s not, I think, because consumption makes us so happy. To the extent that we can measure such things, this isn’t an ecstatic nation.

It’s because we’re locked into economic and cultural patterns that don’t seem to offer us much real choice.

Health insurance is the perfect example.

Say you’re just getting out of college. It should be a moment of freedom — real ability to look around and imagine what kind of life you want to lead. But you can’t do that because you owe so much money for your education, and because, well, what if you get sick? You need health insurance, which in this country means you try to jump aboard the corporate express.

Sometime down the road you may want to leave it, to do something else, explore a new avenue. But what if you get sick? If you’re a few years older and have a family, what if your kids get sick?

Freedom — the theoretical basis of our democratic and economic life — is profoundly undermined by the constant fear that you need to be rich, or work for a rich company, in order to have health care. I can’t tell you how many people I know who work jobs they don’t like in order to have coverage. They’d do something better for themselves, and likely better for the community, if they had the freedom which

citizens of every other developed country have: the freedom to get sick without falling into utter poverty.

The governor says we can’t afford it, that it will lead to tax increases. And it clearly will. But here’s the thing: We’re already paying for it. I’m self-employed, so I write a check to Blue Cross every month.

But if you’ve got a job with a paycheck, don’t you think your employer has calculated the cost of providing your insurance into the salary he or she pays you? And because of the vast inefficiencies and perverse incentives of private insurance, we actually pay far, far more than people do elsewhere. Europeans may wait longer for operations, but they pay half as much of their GNP for health care as Americans do.

And they live just as long as we do. I mean, do the math.

One of the reasons Europeans pay less is because, as Governor Douglas points out, the richest among them get fewer services — the Germans, Dutch and Italians have decided what things will and won’t be considered basic medicine. That’s not easy; it’s precisely the exercise of maturity that this freedom demands. And it’s nearly impossible if politicians such as Douglas decide to play the demagogue every step of the way.

Contrast this with Colchester Republican Malcolm Severance, who voted in favor of the Health Care Committee bill: “We all agree we have to make some changes,” he said.

The best argument for universal health care is that lots of poor people are now going without. That’s a scandal and a shame, but it’s also an argument that has failed to move many of us for decades. The necessary argument for universal health care is this: Without it, all of us are left insecure, vulnerable and essentially unfree.

Thanks to these Vermont House members for having the guts to finally say so. Here’s hoping they’ll say it loudly and without apology, and in the process pick up the support they need and deserve.

Big box update: Bad news from Bennington, where local voters narrowly heeded a Wal-Mart campaign and overturned a cap on megastores in their town.

This may well slow legislation designed to put statewide curbs on such development, but the legislation isn’t going away. It will probably wait until next session, however.

Global warming update: 50 cyclists, most of them from Middlebury and the University of Vermont, braved a cold headwind on April 1 for their “Fossil Fools Ride” from Burlington to Montpelier. House Speaker Gaye Symington and Senate President Pro Tem Peter Welch greeted them on the State House steps. Each offered hearty thanks for the turnout, along with promises that bills supporting a renewable portfolio standard and reducing the state’s carbon emissions would soon work their way through the Capitol. 쩾

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guyâ&#x20AC;? Values

O

nly one thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than a fresh episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guy.â&#x20AC;? Face time with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guyâ&#x20AC;? guy. Expect the cult cartoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creator Seth MacFarlane to be, well, animated in an appearance next Friday, April 22, at the University of Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a gift to the university community from the senior class. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lighthearted offering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guyâ&#x20AC;? regularly

BRIAN AND PETER IN â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE FAMILY GUYâ&#x20AC;?

rises above adolescent dick-and-fart jokes to pillory sacred subjects such as disabled athletes, kids with cancer and Native American casino chiefs.

Nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too insensitive for the Griffin family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; middle-class, â&#x20AC;&#x153;râ&#x20AC;?-dropping residents of Quahog, Rhode Island. Patriarch Peter, affectionately known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peetah,â&#x20AC;? is a 21st-century Archie Bunker. His wife Lois loves him despite her blue-blood background. They have three kids: pudgy Chris, unpopular Meg and baby Stewie, who is forever plotting against his mother and the world in English-accented soliloquies. Brian the dog is a liberal voice of reason, but he also has a hot intraspecies crush on Lois.

And, quite possibly, a drinking problem.

Flashbacks fill in the narrative, and the pop-culture references come fast and furious.

A Rhode Island School of Design grad, 31-year-old MacFarlane is an astute and irreverent anthropologist. He also does the voices for Peter, Brian and Stewie.

Newsweek described the show as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a traditional domestic sitcom soaked in battery acid.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, the Emmy-nominated series exhibits a political incorrectness virtually unimaginable before â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Park.â&#x20AC;? Fox actually refused to air one episode â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MacFarlane has promised to talk about it in his Patrick Gymnasium talk.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also likely retell the story of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable resurrection. Fox launched â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guyâ&#x20AC;? in 1999, then canceled it. But the show didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t die: The old episodes went to DVD and sold millions.

Meanwhile, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guyâ&#x20AC;? reruns developed a huge following weeknights at 11 on the Cartoon Channel. Fox saw the light and decided to give the show a second chance. It re-premieres May 1. MacFarlane told Newsweek, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sitting there, trying to seem professional, and all Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My God, how did this happen?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Family Guy.â&#x20AC;?

Call it an arts anomaly. Students now account for a whopping 25 percent of the University of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classical music audience. The George Bishop Lane Series was conceived â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and endowed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to serve the university community, but its season subscribers are typically way postgrad. Despite being discounted, the student tickets never sold too briskly. Until three years ago, when the Lane Series began coordinating concerts with the honors program.

Artistic Director Jane Ambrose now teaches a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music and Live Performanceâ&#x20AC;? class that requires students to attend five concerts per semester.

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully account for the demographic shift. General Manager Natalie Neuert attributes it to positive student word-of-mouth, intercampus communications and having a twentysomething rep on the Lane Series Advisory Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our mission. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? she confirms. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small problem, though: Letting tickets go at $6 a pop generates less money than selling them at $25.

The difference to the balance sheet can be dramatic. But Neuert and Ambrose are hatching a plan to pay for it. Neuert recommends, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think arts organizations really need to think creatively about how to tier their pricing structure so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accessible for everyone and they can make their bottom line . . .â&#x20AC;?

The Vermont Mozart Festival sure could use more warm bodies. Not so much in the summer: Organizers are fully committed to continuing the four-week fest. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;winter seriesâ&#x20AC;? is more worrisome. Executive Director Rebecca Stone recently announced itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being downsized from five shows to two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mozart Festival is regrouping,â&#x20AC;? she says. Audience diversity is definitely part of the challenge.

While a wide array of tourists, picnickers and outdoor types flock to the al fresco summer festival, the winter series relies on hardcore, mostly elderly classical-music aficionados who live in the immediate area. Stone notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care to travel even from Stowe to Burlington.â&#x20AC;?

Vermont theater lost a key player last week when Robert Ringer passed away in a Berlin nursing home. In the 1980s, he founded the Burlington-area Vermont Repertory Theater â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first professional rep companies. There, in an abandoned church at Fort Ethan Allen, he produced some of the best local drama Vermonters have ever seen, including the Green Mountain premiere and tour of David Budbillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Judevine. In the process of casting Sam Shepardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buried Child, Ringer discovered then-24-year-old Rusty DeWees. The Logger recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the way home, I thought to myself, This is the start of something big . . . Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;? DeWees is delivering the eulogy at Ringerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service Wednesday, April 13, at Montpelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unitarian Church. m

BY SARAH TUFF

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

Taste Buds

O IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

n a recent Thursday afternoon, Kit Mercure is positioned in what she calls the “power aisle” of the Burlington Price Chopper — the wide, central corridor that divides the store horizontally. On the table in front of her, a silver-colored, doily-covered platter holds an elegant array of mouth-watering goodies: cups of kettle corn, generous slices of ice-cream sandwiches, crackers topped with dollops of veggie and crab dips. Mercure wears a beret, has a red ribbon around her neck and a jet-black apron tied behind her back. Ruby-lipped, she smiles like a hostess.

Cart-wielding shoppers, meanwhile, seem focused on the jugs of generic apple juice and V8 Splash stacked behind her head. But, in fact, they are drawn to Mercure like moths to a light; nearly all do double and triple takes at the free samples, slowing down slightly as they pass.

“Hi, there,” says Mercure, making eye contact and smiling even wider. “Would you like to try a taste?”

Suddenly, it’s as if she’s opened her home to the hungry, and the “diners” visibly relax, stopping to chat and popping bite-sized snacks in their mouths.

Mercure is an in-store institution, one of four “Samples & Sales” women who’ve been whipping up diminutive delights for supermarket crowds upwards “Edible Complex” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

of 15 years. She and her colleagues worked at other area locations, before switching to the Shelburne Road store when it opened seven years ago.

In 1984, Price Chopper began its unique, in-house “Super Samples” program. While other large supermarket chains hire outside agencies to promote certain brands, Price Chopper pays Mercure, along with Marlene Hartley, Helen Mischik and Maria Williamson, an hourly wage (with no commission) to nudge customers to pick up the products. Now called “Samples & Sales,” the program employs more than 400 representatives at the chain’s 108 stores nationwide. They get the gig by responding to newspaper ads or internal postings, and interviewing with a store’s manager and “team leader.”

“They’re extremely important to our store,” says Al Davidson, who manages the Shelburne Road branch.

“The customers look for them not only for the samples but also for help finding other items.”

Magicians with microwaves, electric frying pans and toaster ovens, the Samples & Sales ladies can turn out a tuna puttanesca faster than most of us push our carts from the deli counter to the beer cooler. Aged 56 to, well, some undisclosed year, they’ve become ambassadors of artichokes, Worcestershire sauce and Italian dressing. They bring new flavors, and sometimes nutty combinations, to the palates of curious customers — everything from “gooey” burgers to “Easter-egg-hunt” pies to tomato-and-hot-dog soups.

These in-store cooks have lost count of how many recipes they’ve whipped up over the last couple of decades. “Thousands,” suggests Williamson, who’s commuted from Middlebury today to dole out George Foreman grilled chicken with barbecue sauce.

“I like it here in the meat department,” she says, surveying her quarters. “I like to be where the action is.”

Like the rest of the Samples & Sales crew, Williamson works Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, watching the ebb and flow of customers from a steady trickle to a flood and back to a few drips at the end of a day. During the height of the lunch hour, things can get chaotic. But, the women report, there have been no serious cart mishaps to date. “One of the girls did have a customer hit,” says Mercure. “I don’t know if it was the table or the display, but I think she broke some dishes that day.”

Mercure guesses she gives away between 115 and 260 tidbits from the time she sets up — typically around 11 a.m. — to the end of her shift at 4 or 5 p.m. If the menu includes sweet treats, such as Oreoand-whipped-topping trifles, chances are there will be little to clean up at quitting time. “Desserts go over very big!” confirms Marlene Hartley as she fusses with an antipasto salad. She might have leftovers today; salads aren’t that popular.

“Some people don’t like cabbage,” informs Helen Mischik, also stationed in the power aisle. “Or they’ll say, ‘I don’t like peas — even though they’re grownups!’”

What else goes quickly? Soups, peanuts — such as the Emerald honey-roasted version Mischik is now pushing — popcorn, pasta, cheeses and seafood.

Health-conscious customers appreciate it when Samples & Sales goes organic, with items such as Annie’s noodles and gluten-free flour. “There’s this one lady who often comes in and she’s very particular about what she eats,” reports Mercure. “If there’s any additives, she doesn’t like it, and she makes faces like little kids do.”

Over the years these women have seen diets change from fat-free to low-sodium to Atkins, and food trends shift from plain beef or chicken to frozen, one-skillet dinners (big with widowers) and spicy Mexican. “Men love the hot stuff,” says Mercure, who’s watched chips and salsa disappear faster than Speedy Gonzales. “But we’re always told to do the mild or medium, so I don’t open the hot jar until someone asks.”

These ladies certainly possess creative culinary skills and expertise of their own. Williamson was a waitress in an upscale restaurant for 30 years, and occasionally prepared tableside concoctions for such celebrities as Clint Eastwood and Fleetwood Mac. But here the Samples & Sales team has no say on what they cook up. Instead, the store’s corporate office mails them recipes in advance. Sometimes a vendor such as Kraft wants to promote a product.

(According to Williamson, Kraft Foods and McCormick are two of the most-sampled brands.)

Other times Price Chopper wants to feature its own products, such as the “Snacker Crackers” and icecream sandwiches Mercure is serving today. “These are just as good as Hood!” one satisfied customer exclaims.

“See?” says Mercure, after the woman has disappeared down the power aisle. “That’s the idea.”

As delicious as the melting morsels look to Mercure, a self-described chocoholic, she’s not allowed to nibble at her station. The patrons have parameters, too. Children under 13 are forbidden finger foods unless they’re accompanied by an adult.

Some vendors extend this minimum age to 17, a rule the ladies find difficult to enforce. “You try to tell a college student that they can’t have a sample!” says Mercure. And customers are limited to only two samples each — even the surreptitious ones who casually take a third or fourth lap down the power aisle. And forget trying to pass for your own twin.

The serial snackers can be tiresome, as can the grocery-store music and the bright lights and the smell of seafood. But Mercure seems right at home here.

“I’m always glad to see everybody, and they say, ‘How come you’re always smiling?’” she says, shuffling her feet to a favorite song on the Muzak. “Because I’m happy. Every day I do samples, it’s like company’s coming.” m

A STORY

RON JACOBS

Will Miller 1940-2005 very good friend and an inspiration to thousands of activists, radicals, revolutionaries and thinkers died last week.

He was a teacher and a student in life, in the classroom and in the streets. He was anathema to those who disagreed with him and had very little tolerance for bigotry and injustice, or the people who perpetrate such sores on the flesh of humanity.

Will Miller was an encyclopedia of history, thought and living off the land. I am not alone when I say that he was a brother. My heart goes out to those who were closest to him. My mind wonders how the radical community in Vermont, and anywhere else he touched down, will fill the huge hole he has left in our collective histories.

Will’s hero was John Brown. Like Brown, he had long hair and his beard was often unkempt. Also like Brown,

His students are like the followers of Jerry Garcia.

Will believed in the propaganda of the deed. An example that comes to mind occurred soon after Bill Clinton and his band of killers launched the aerial bombardment of Yugoslavia and Kosovo in the spring of 1999. Will, other activists and I spent many hours tabling in front of the University of Vermont library distributing literature against the bombing and arguing with so-called leftists who supported that “humanitarian” assault. It wasn’t long before we decided that something more agitative needed to be done.

We were joined in our opinion by folksinger Jim Page — who happened to be on tour in Vermont — and activists Dave Dellinger, Orin Langelle, Anne Peterman, Jay Moore, among others.

Given that all of Vermont’s congressional delegation supported the killing, we decided to stage protests at each of their offices and a sit-in at the last one on our tour. That happened to be the office of Bernie Sanders. After making it clear to the folks working there that we intended to stay until they threw us out, Will fumbled with his wife’s cell phone (something new to us older folks back then) and called the local media. They showed up soon afterwards and recorded our

thoughts and the arrests that followed the office’s closing.

Some on the Left didn’t understand why we chose Bernie’s office, but the reasons became clearer when the congressman told Will and Jay that they should just leave the room if they didn’t agree with what he was saying during a town meeting on the war. Our job wasn’t to support Bernie no matter what; it was to point out the imperialist nature of the war and the hypocrisy of the “humanitarian” warmongers.

I only met Will around 10 years ago when I moved to Vermont. I had heard of him before, however. His name came up in conversations on the West Coast, usually from a former student of Will’s, whenever there were student protests at UVM. His students are like the followers of Jerry Garcia; you can find them in every part of the planet and in almost every profession — although I doubt you’d find too many in the military.

It wasn’t just the subject matter of Will’s courses that inspired his students; it was his presentation, the nonjudgmental seminars in which those ideas were discussed, and Will himself. He didn’t demand respect; he commanded it. That is, Will didn’t want respect just because he was the teacher. He hoped to gain your respect because he helped you teach yourself.

He was the remaining radical philosopher in a department that had been purged in 1970 after he, Michael Parenti and several others began to do more than just teach philosophical ideas. They put those ideas to use, challenging the war in Vietnam, the racism of the U.S. and the very nature of the university. Although Will wasn’t purged, he rarely got a raise or a sabbatical until a friendlier chair took over the department in the late 1990s.

A few years ago, the UVM faculty began a successful drive to unionize. Will was an essential part of that campaign, just as he had been in every union campaign at the school since his hiring. Only four or five years before, he and I were celebrating the victory in a staff union drive at UVM that heralded the second union in the university’s history. Will’s presence, organizing ability and fervor, and his historical knowledge were instrumental in the success of this campaign — one that provided a voice to the most exploited segment of the university’s workforce.

Will is going to be sorely missed in Vermont. However, when I go about my daily life, working, writing, speaking, organizing, enjoying a beer or something sweeter, I’m going to do so with Will’s spirit in my soul. I’ll have a smile on my face, a chuckle in my walk and a revolutionary’s love in my heart.

Will Miller, live like him!

pollution] wasn’t addressed, we would seek guidance from the WRB, which we did.”

However, the guidance provided by the WRB last October, requiring tougher federal standards for already impaired streams, is guidance the Douglas administration refuses to accept.

“I wouldn’t necessarily agree with Mr. Kilian,” said Sec. Torti.

“He has a unique knack for distilling things in a way that makes his case look good. We’re very, very happy that the supreme court has decided to take this case.”

Sec. Torti said he’s happy the case would move forward in a “more timely” fashion, since Justice Skoglund had issued a second order denying a request for a “remand” — i.e., sending the whole case back to the WRB for a new evidentiary hearing.

However, Tom Terrific neglected to mention that his side had asked for a remand. CLF and the VNRC had opposed it.

When we pointed that out to the secretary, he readily acknowledged it as “one strategy we had.”

Torti described it as “one process that had been suggested to us by our attorneys, and we decided to take advantage of all legal avenues available to us.”

Whatever you say.

Kilian said he, too, is eager to have the Vermont Supreme Court decide the appeal of the WRB’s landmark unanimous decision.

“They won a stay, which in the end is probably meaningless anyway,” said Kilian, “because it’s not like the [Agency of Natural Resources] has been running out to seek to implement this thing.

Until there’s a final decision of the court, I doubt that ANR really would have paid much attention to the Board’s order anyway.”

He’s right.

In fact, our rookie environmental secretary rejected the notion that Act 140 requires him to set up two stormwater permitting programs.

So we read the secretary the text of Act 140 over the phone on Monday. After enumerating the law’s intent to clean up stormwater pollution, Act 140 states: “In furtherance of these purposes, the secretary shall implement two stormwater permitting programs.

The first program is based on the requirements of the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program . . . The second program is a state permit program based on the requirements of this section for the discharge of ‘regulated stormwater runoff.’”

Aren’t you required to run two programs, we asked again?

“No,” Torti replied. “We have one system, which is a state permitting system. We do not have to develop a federal NPDES system and a state system.”

Confused?

You bet.

Sec. Torti then pointed out that Attorney General Bill Sorrell made the “telling” decision to represent ANR in appealing the WRB’s stormwater decision.

He’s right about that. In fact, Sorrell, a Democrat who was once Torti’s boss, has eagerly entered the fray on the side of ANR. In Gov. Douglas’ ongoing battle with the environmental community, Sorrell’s support is something our Guv enjoys mentioning.

It’s also something that clearly rankles Kilian.

“One of the unfortunate aspects of the way this is playing out,” said Kilian, “is that Bill Sorrell decided to take sides on this thing and picked the wrong side. Instead of representing the people of this state and their interests in clean water, he decided to take the side of ANR. ANR has done everything in its power to avoid asking polluters to clean up their act in these waters for 25 years.”

Reached in the nation’s capital Tuesday, Gen. Sorrell bristled at Kilian’s charge. He ran down a list of federal lawsuits he’s joined against the Bush administration, from global warming to acid rain.

“I don’t think anybody would say,” said Sorrell, “that I’ve been weak in terms of protecting the environment. I hope that’s not what Chris Kilian is saying.”

Don’t get your hopes too high, Gen. Billy.

“The people of Vermont don’t have anyone else to turn to, to clean up these waters,” said CLF’s Kilian. “That’s the Agency of Natural Resources’ job, and unfortunately Attorney Gen. Sorrell and ANR have banded together to stand up for polluters instead of standing up for Clean Water.”

“CLF and the Agency of Natural Resources,” explained Sec. Torti, “have a very different view of the world. They’re entitled to theirs, as we are to ours, and ultimately the court will decide who’s correct in this matter.”

Right now, Vermont’s environmental reputation is securely in the hands of our five black robes.

The Torti File — Tom Torti, 50, has been on the job as Vermont’s top protector of the environment since January, but he’s a familiar face in state government.

Indeed, some would question his credentials to head the state’s environmental agency. Tom’s got a Master’s in education. Isn’t the job supposed to go to an environmentalist type, or at least to someone who’s studied environmental science?

Not in the current scheme of things. Gov. Douglas appears to go for “management skills” rather than experience in any particular field. We’ve also seen it in his picks to head Corrections and the Transportation Agency. And his first choice to run the Human Services Agency was a banker.

A St. Mike’s grad, Torti’s been on the state payroll for 25 years.

He started in 1979 working under a state contract at Washington County Mental Health Services.

That work, he told us, led years later to the construction of Woodside, the state’s juvenile jail.

Tom went on to work in human services for 11 years, particularly in risk-assessment work in the child-abuse field.

Great training for an environmental secretary, eh?

Tom then served a tour as executive director of the State’s Attorneys and Sheriffs’ Departments.

Hey, prosecutors and sheriffs have to deal with the environment on a daily basis, right?

Gov. Dean then tapped Torti to be state personnel commissioner.

Next, he moved up to deputy administration secretary under Bill Sorrell. After that, in 1997, this talented government bureaucrat

the

became commissioner of Buildings and General Services.

Torti’s current post as environmental secretary, he said, is “one of the best jobs I’ve had so far.”

The issues, he said, are “interesting” and “fun,” and at the end of the day, “you feel like you’re dealing with very important stuff.”

Asked bluntly about his lack of environmental qualifications, Torti replied by describing himself as “a general services commissioner who had been nationally recognized for pioneering work bringing green buildings, environmentally preferable purchasing, and a downsized fleet to state government.”

Torti described ANR as a “large agency with many management challenges.” There are currently 611 permanent employees, with another 500 part-time workers during the summer, he said.

Asked to name the top environmental issue facing Vermont, Sec. Torti replied, “Saying one outweighs the other really does environmentalism a disservice. I think you have to look at them holistically and organically.”

Unfortunately, Tom Terrific also thinks tougher federal water quality standards on stormwater runoff should in no way, shape or form be applied to Chittenden County’s polluted waterways.

Interesting that our new environmental commissioner has enough free time on his hands to continue his duties as a selectman in the Town of Essex, home of IBM. Tom Terrific is serving his second term.

Selectman Torti said he’s very cognizant of potential “conflicts of interest” and “will take appropriate action — even leaving the room” when necessary at selectboard meetings. And even though he describes his cabinet post in the Douglas administration as “more than a full-time job,” Torti said he sees “no reason why I can’t fulfill the responsibilities the voters in Essex gave me.”

Torti said the position of environmental secretary requires someone “who’s efficient and effective at managing their time so that they can juggle many balls.”

The secretary’s comments on the current stormwater case indicate Torti’s juggling ability may well be the stuff of legends!

he weather has finally warmed, and outside Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest low-income housing project, a half-dozen or so residents are parked on benches enjoying some sun and fresh air after a long winter indoors. For STORY many of them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably their first outKEN ing in months. The people who live at PICARD Decker Towers are more prone than most to hibernate, regardless of the season.

IMAGES The 11-story building at 230 St. Paul MATTHEW Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the tallest building in Vermont THORSEN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is owned and operated by the Burlington Housing Authority (BHA) and home to about 160 residents, primarily the elderly and disabled. Some are confined to wheelchairs, others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive or own cars, or have family members nearby.

As a result, their world can be confined to the building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in some cases, to a 500-square-foot apartment.

Recently, that world got even smaller.

Two weeks ago, a flyer was posted on a bulletin board in the lobby, which reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be no events in the building

T

from the Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club until further notice. Some people think the people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them. So we are sorry for the inconvenience.â&#x20AC;? Beneath it, someone scrawled, in shaky handwriting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is no way to live.â&#x20AC;?

The Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club dates back to 1979. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the closest thing Decker Towers has to a tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association, and functions primarily as a social club. Until recently, the club sponsored pancake breakfasts, St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day dinners, Fourth of July barbecues, weekly bingo games and other monthly gatherings.

Every resident in the building is automatically a member, meaning they can elect and serve as club officers, and pay a nominal fee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; usually a few dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to attend events. The BHA gives the club $1500 each year in matching funds to supplement the cost of functions.

But in recent months, the Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club has been at the center of a heated controversy involving a handful of

Allegations have been flying about financial mismanagement and possible misuse of funds.

Several residents claim they’ve been verbally harassed and even threatened by other residents.

One tenant claims his windshield was smashed in retaliation for asking questions about the club’s finances. Another resident, who is now the club’s secretary, filed a lawsuit last month demanding a formal audit of the club’s books. Describing a recent club meeting, one tenant said, “It was like Wrestlemania.

An evening with winemaker Alex Gambal: An American in Burgundy “Alex Gambal divides his time between the Boston area where he lives and Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, where he works.

After working in Burgundy for several years, he established a wine company there in 1996. Like many Burgundian producers, he owns no vineyards, but rather scours the area tasting and buying newly made wine—or grapes—from farmers he trusts. Back in his winery, he finishes the wine by aging and blending it, then bottling it under his label.”

est. Many tenants who aren’t directly involved in the fracas express annoyance and frustration with all the in-fighting that’s put the kibosh on their fun. “Oh, it’s a mess when they get arguing,” bemoans Lillian Downer, an eight-year resident of Decker Towers. “I just stay in my room and mind my own business.” Another resident and former club officer who asked to remain anonymous, says, “All that bickering and back-stabbing? Forget it! I couldn’t stand it so I got out. I don’t even go to meetings anymore.”

But the handful of tenants who have come forward to voice their concerns say there’s more at stake than just a few hundred dollars that may have gone missing. They assert that it’s more about residents having a bigger say in what goes on in their little community, which is largely isolated from the rest of Burlington.

“We’re not talking about gigantic amounts of cash here,” says Tony Pagliuca, a 52-yearold disabled plumber who’s lived in Decker Towers for about a year and a half. “But it’s huge for the people who live here because they have nothing.

We’re talking about people who are mentally and physically handicapped, people who are one step away from the street, like myself, and disenfranchised human beings who have no say and are scared to death to come forward.”

Apparently, the trouble began about a year ago after several residents began asking questions about how the club’s funds were being spent and documented.

Dorothy “Dot” Brooks, who was then president of the Ladies’ and Men’s Club, says she started hearing complaints from other tenants, who warned her that she could be held liable if BHA money was being misused. “I

started getting the cold shoulder,” Brooks recalls. “Someone said to me, “Dot, you’d better wake up, because that’s our money!’”

Brooks says she brought her concerns to the attention of Esther McGrath, who has lived in the building for eight years and has served as the club’s treasurer for the last four. Most everyone in Decker Towers knows McGrath. She does much of the club’s work, such as shopping and cooking meals, decorating the rec room, organizing bingo games, holding rummage sales and collecting fees. For years, she’s also handled all the money and kept the books.

According to Brooks, McGrath didn’t believe there was anything wrong. So as club president, Brooks obtained copies of the club’s bank statements herself and found what she believed were discrepancies >> 27A

between the treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reports and the bank statements, some of which totaled hundreds, some say thousands, of dollars.

She showed the pile of papers to Pagliuca.

After he reviewed the bank records, Pagliuca brought his concerns to the attention of McGrath and other tenants. As a result, he claims he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;singled outâ&#x20AC;? as a troublemaker and began receiving harassing phone calls in the middle of the night. He also claims his car was vandalized twice.

Pagliuca says he then â&#x20AC;&#x153;did what he thought any good citizen should do.â&#x20AC;? He notified the police. A spokesperson for the Burlington Police Department says that they looked into Pagliucaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint about alleged financial wrongdoing.

Finding no grounds for a criminal investigation, they turned the matter over to the BHA. Then last fall, another resident, Laura Tisoncik, got involved. A self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;former political activist,â&#x20AC;? Tisoncik

cially considering all the time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devoted to tenants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Esther McGrath is the best, in my opinion,â&#x20AC;? says David Call, 40, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived in the building for 10 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She cooks all day long [for the tenants], she cleans up. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the complaints against McGrath, he notes, in January her fellow tenants reelected her to another term as treasurer by a two-to-one margin.

Paul Dettman is BHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. When asked about the Decker Towers brouhaha, Dettman sounds exasperated. He acknowledges that the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept as well as they could have been, but says the BHA has been working with McGrath to improve her accounting methods, and has provided her with bookkeeping software to prevent questions from arising in the future.

But Dettman sees no reason to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go back and try to reconstruct the past.â&#x20AC;? As director of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest low-income housing agency with a $20 mil-

$ says she was skeptical about the allegations, but concluded that an audit might set the record straight. In January, when club elections were held, she ran for secretary, and won. But she says that after attempting to investigate the matter herself, she and McGrath â&#x20AC;&#x153;had words.â&#x20AC;? In response, Tisoncik filed a lawsuit in March to get access to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial records.

For her part, McGrath cannot understand what the fuss is all about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying all these things,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want it to stop.â&#x20AC;? Since McGrath is named in the lawsuit, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been advised by an attorney not to discuss the specifics of the case or give anyone but the BHA her records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing I will tell you. An embezzler I am not,â&#x20AC;?

McGrath adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that money. I have enough of my own.â&#x20AC;? The BHA has looked over her books, she adds, and determined that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no basis for an audit.

In fact, others in the building charge that McGrath has been unfairly maligned, espe-

lion operating budget, he has much bigger financial woes to worry about, such as drastic cuts to Section 8 housing assistance and a projected 10- to 15-percent reduction in his agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital improvement budget next year. As for the $1500 investment the BHA makes each year on the Decker Towers Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club, he believes the BHA gets â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very high valueâ&#x20AC;? for its money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess in the big picture, I would consider this to be a tempest in a teapot,â&#x20AC;? he concludes.

But Tisoncik, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary, is critical of how the BHA handled this controversy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have a hostile situation, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just shut it off, which is what the BHA wants,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we continue to have a very weak tenant organization, people in low-income housing are going to be in a much more vulnerable position as cuts come in.â&#x20AC;?

In the meantime, the rest of the residents of Decker Towers wait patiently for the trouble to blow over, so they can get back to their pancake breakfasts and Sunday bingo games. m

SEVEN DAYS

GLOBAL WARNING When cheap oil disappears, says James Kunstler, so will life as we know it story: paula routly image: abby manock

Social critic James Howard Kunstler has railed for years against the twin evils of bad urban design and suburban sprawl. Based in Saratoga Springs, the author of The Geography of Nowhere and Home From Nowhere warns that our beloved cars — and the subdivided landscapes they drive us to — are leading American culture down a four-lane highway to destruction.

Kunstler’s arguments have taken on new urgency in light of what scientists now agree is an impending, and permanent, global energy crisis. His new book, The Long Emergency: Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century, imagines life — and jobs, housing, architecture and transportation — without access to cheap oil. An excerpt appears in a recent issue of Rolling Stone.

Kunstler got a rock-star reception last week at Middlebury College, where he entertained a standingroom-only audience with provocative predications about where our unbridled consumption is likely to land us. An eloquent, funny speaker who is not afraid to use strong language when ticked off, Kunstler agreed to a follow-up email interview with Seven Days.

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve long criticized the housing and transportation policies that drove people from the cities to suburbia after World War II. Now it turns out “Levittown” is not only ugly and soulkilling, but unsustainable. Explain your vision of the “Long Emergency.”

JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER: We poured our national wealth into the construction of a living arrangement that has no future — and the future is now here. The infrastructure of suburbia can be described as the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world. It was deficient and problematic as a human habitat even apart from the question of its sustainability. The way we live in America represents a tragic set of collective and individual choices we made at a particular point in history, the mid-to-late 20th century, when circumstances seemed to suggest there were no limits to our quest for comfort, convenience and leisure.

These things turned out to be a poor basis for a value system and for an economy.

We are heading into a period of social, political and economic turbulence.

JAMES KUNSTLER

SD: So life without oil equals the apocalypse?

JHK: Your word, not mine. I rather resent being labeled “apocalyptic.” It demonstrates how poorly even journalists understand what we face, which is an epochal discontinuity in the conditions of daily life, not the end of the world. In fact, we don’t even face a life without oil, at least not imminently. We face a life without cheap oil, which is a big difference.

Specifically, we are heading into a period of social, political and economic turbulence, which will probably include a lot of hardship. That’s not the end of the world.

That’s something that the human race has been through many times before. For instance, the Europeans of 1913 would never have conceived the degree of destruction and vicissitude visited upon their societies by two 20th-century world wars. We’re equally blind and clueless about what we are facing.

SD: Since the U.S. reached its peak oil production in 1970, what’s happened in terms of geoeconomic power?

JHK: The U.S. controlled the oil industry and the markets from the late 1800s until 1970 because we could always pump more and goose up the global supply, moderating prices. We were also the world’s leading consumers of oil, so we wanted low prices. After 1970, when U.S. production peaked, other people — namely OPEC — enjoyed the position as “swing producers.”

They controlled prices and markets, not us. They could always pump more, but we couldn’t, because our total production was decreasing. The 1970s were therefore very turbulent economically and the U.S. suffered a lot. “Stagflation.” Twenty-percent interest rates! High unemployment.

In the 1980s the world’s last great oil discoveries, the North Sea and Alaska’s North Slope, came into production, softening oil prices. These substantial nonOPEC sources tended to take pricing power away from OPEC. The result was a temporary glut and a decade and a half of still-cheap oil. I regard that period as the final blow-off of the cheap-oil era.

Now, there is reason to believe that the OPEC countries, including Saudi Arabia, may have peaked much earlier than expected, and nobody seems to have pricing control anymore — no country can open up the valves and increase the supply enough to goose down world prices. Also, the North Sea and Alaska bonanzas are now officially over. Both areas are technically in depletion. In the years 2003 and 2004, there were no significant discoveries of any new oil.

SD: Scientists differ in opinion not on whether global oil production will peak and then fall, but when. Can you talk about this?

JHK: The difference of opinion has become nearly insignificant. Kenneth Deffeyes, the Princeton professor and former major oil company geologist, says 2005. Colin Campbell, who was chief geologist (now retired) for Shell, and the French company Total-Fina-Elf, says 2007.

Some other guys say 2010. What matters is that the complex systems we depend upon — especially world finance and the infrastructures of relative peace between nations — will wobble in anticipation of the peak, and once that happens we’re in deep shit.

SD: Did we set up a “police station” in Iraq to put off or delay the inevitable?

JKH: That’s a fair statement. Our primary mission in Iraq has been to stabilize the region of the world where most of the remaining oil reserves exist. How long this might be possible is hard to say. Secondarily our mission was to moderate the behavior of Iraq’s neighbors, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The perceived benefit in all of this was to be able to continue to enjoy a reliable stream of oil imports — from people who don’t like us very much.

I hasten to add that we did not go there to “steal” the oil, as some people imply, but to simply continue to obtain it at market price. In any case, we won’t be able to occupy unfriendly nations indefinitely, nor will supplies of Middle East oil last indefinitely. The level of violence will probably rise and fall and rise again. There is a tremendous capacity for political mischief in that part of the world. We may exhaust and bankrupt ourselves engaging with it. The inevitable part of this is that, sooner or later, we will have to come to grips with our extreme dependency on imported oil and the way we live in America.

SD: Even the U.S. Department of Energy has released a report saying that “peak oil” is for real. So why doesn’t the government support more initiatives for lessening dependence on fossil fuels?

JHK: This is hard for anyone to understand. I have personally not been a Bushbasher myself — though I didn’t vote for the sonofabitch. I tend to hold the American public as being complicit in the cluelessness that afflicts our society regarding the oil and gas issues and how they relate to our way of life. The dirty secret of the American economy for the last two decades is that it is all about the creation

of suburban sprawl and accessorizing, furnishing and servicing it.

The public claims that this is what they want: the easy motoring life of the drivein utopia. They also make a living off it.

Subtract that and our economy is about little else besides medicine and hair-cutting. Consequently, our car dependency and oil addiction is a kind of economic racket, a self-reinforcing set of behaviors and habits that we dare not attempt to change — because if we do, there will be no American economy.

Now, given all that it is still hard not to view the Bush leadership as extremely irresponsible or craven. There is no doubt that Bush and company understand the peak-oil issue and its implications for our economy and have chosen to not set the tone of a coherent national discussion about how we live. They have acted as enablers to a society that has tremendously self-destructive addictive habits. My own sense is that Bush and the Republican Party will be deeply discredited by their failure to confront the truth of our predicament until it was way too late.

Unfortunately, the Democratic opposition has been, if anything, equally irresponsible and clueless. John Kerry said not a damn thing to really challenge the status quo.

SD: The Germans and Brits are paying $5.50 a gallon and their societies are not collapsing. If they can handle $6 gas, why can’t we?

JHK: The Europeans have very different ways of life and standards of living. They have cars but are not car-dependent, certainly not to the degree we are. They did not destroy their towns and cities. We did.

They did not destroy their public transit.

We did. They did not destroy local agri>> 30A

SD: You’ve been fairly pessimistic about “alternative” or “renewable” sources of energy, too. Is that because they’re unfeasible, or that we can’t get enough quickly enough?

JHK: I have been critical of these things. But mainly because the thinking about them has been so squishy and dumb. You’ve got Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute promoting what he calls a “hyper-car” for years and years, a car that gets super-great mileage — say, 100 miles per gallon. Well, guess what the chief consequence of that stupid idea is: It promotes the belief that we can continue indefinitely being a car-dependent nation. Plus, it completely overlooks the tremendous damage that suburbia has done to our collective social lives, including the destruction of the public realm per se.

Mr. Lovins would have spent his time and money much more usefully on something like walkable communities, or being part of the New Urbanism movement. As a general rule, no combination of alt energy or systems to run it will allow us to continue running the U.S. as we have been running it. Virtually all of the bio-fuel schemes require more energy going in than they end up putting out.

Hydrogen is essentially a hoax as it has been proposed. I believe the truth is that whatever so-called “renewables” we end up using will be at the extremely small, local scale — perhaps the neighborhood or even household scale where solar is concerned.

SD: In your remarks at Middlebury you predicted Bush won’t finish out his second term because of the “Long Emergency” that’s about to begin.

Were you joking?

JHK: I refer you to my answer a few questions back. I believe that Bush and company will prove to have been so stupendously irresponsible in failing to prepare the public for the hardships we face, that it might be considered an impeachable offense. Yeah, I know Cheney is lurking in the background. He can be impeached too, and so can that fat, useless prick Dennis Hastert [Speaker of the House, R-IL].

JAMES KUNSTLER live. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first crisis weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, other than oil-driven wars?

JHK: The oil markets will wobble well before oil becomes scarce. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already seeing much more volatility in the price. The international financial markets will also prove to be extremely sensitive to the perception that all future industrial growth is at risk without expanding supply of oil and natural gas. The value of a currency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, the dollar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; depends on what people think the prospects are of the country that stands behind it.

People around the world will look at our futureless, suburban-sprawl way of life and the economy that goes with it, and they may conclude that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prospects are not so hot. When that happens, the value of the dollar will tank.

That will, of course, have a severe affect on the housing market and the sprawl-building industry. The conclusion is pretty self-evident, I think.

SD: The domino effect of changes in our way of life is staggering to think about. One thing that comes to mind is how our relatively recent reliance

on computers and the Internet will be affected.

Despite the advent of wireless technologies, most of us still depend on electricity for access. Any thoughts on this?

JHK: We have reason to believe that the electric grid is headed for trouble. Our natural-gas supply situation is actually quite a bit more ominous and immediate than even the oil situation, and a lot of our electricity is made with natural gas.

Suffice it to say that the Internet is only as good as the electric grid that supports it.

SD: What would cities look like under an oil-crisis scenario?

JHK: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover that our largest industrial cities will not work very well in an energyscarce economy. New York and Chicago pose particular problems because they are so overburdened with skyscrapers, a building type that will soon be obsolete. As a general rule, our industrial cities have assumed a scale that is just unsustainable, and I believe will see a period of painful contraction. Many of these cities are already well >> 32A

advanced in that process: Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, et cetera — the list is very long.

Los Angeles has special problems insofar as it is composed mainly of suburban fabric. The giant suburban metroplexes will also generally enter a state of failure. Phoenix and Las Vegas will be faced by additional problems with their water supply. Both will be substantially depopulated, in my opinion. In Las Vegas, the excitement will be over. The action in America will be in the smaller towns that are embedded in a surrounding countryside where agriculture is viable.

SD: So it’s not a great time to invest in a $500,000 McMansion five miles out of town on Spear Street?

SD: And all cash-strapped farmers and land owners should just try to hang on a little longer . . .

JHK: We can predict that life is going to become a lot more local, and that food production is going to occupy much more of the center of our economy. What we don’t know is what kind of new social relations will form around land ownership. The Long Emergency, as I call this period ahead, will produce a lot of economic losers, people whose vocations are lost forever.

Many of them will eventually find a place in food production, but exactly how that will shake out is a very interesting question. Will they sell their allegiance for food or physical security? That implies a kind of neo-feudalism. Will those who have land be subject to confiscations or assaults?

During the disorders that accompanied the Black Plague in the 1300s, the countryside of Europe was beset by banditry. Will that happen in America? Hard to say.

SD: What do these coming changes imply for education and employment?

Where are the jobs going to be?

JHK: I doubt that our centralized schools with their yellow bus fleets will remain in operation many years from now. I imagine that whatever education there is will go not much beyond the equivalent of the eighth grade. I tend to think that many colleges will simply close up, especially the landgrant diploma mills. College, if it continues to exist at all, will once again be an elite activity, not a consumer activity.

As I said above, the Long Emergency will produce a lot of economic losers. Many types of jobs will cease to exist: public relations executive, marketing directors, et cetera.

I think work will be very hands-on, and a lot of it will

revolve around food production. We will, of course, have to completely reorganize our trade infrastructures, since Wal-Mart and its imitators will not survive the end of the cheap-oil era. The consumerist frenzy will be over. We will have far fewer things to buy.

SD: Can you seriously foresee a path through the long emergency that will not involve violent social chaos? Will the suburbs be the new inner-city war zones?

JHK: I don’t like the word chaos because it might tend to exaggerate what we actually face, which, in my opinion, is more properly described as turbulence, disorder, discontinuity and hardship. These things are bad enough, obviously, but they do not necessarily imply chaos and anarchy. I do believe that some places will be worse than other places. I think, for instance, that the Sunbelt will suffer in direct proportion to the degree that it prospered and benefited from the cheapoil blowout of the past several decades.

Personally, I am a fairly cheerful person. The final question for anybody, whatever social and economic circumstances they find themselves in, is this: Am I leading a purposeful existence? I will be impertinent enough at this point to conclude by wishing us all good luck. We’re going to need it. 쩾

No money?

No problem.

SD: You’ve envisioned the human reaction to the energy crisis as a sociological clusterfuck. What can individuals do to prepare for the coming changes? Find a friend, a nice little spread out in the Green Mountains, a well, a windmill, some solar panels and the right seeds. And plenty of guns, right?

JHK: The most important thing, in my opinion, is to find a community proximate to viable agriculture — namely, a town — and to become a useful member of it. To prepare to be a good neighbor.

Not everybody will have the skill or the strength to work in agriculture, and we will certainly need a wide variety of other things to be done. The rural idyll that many people entertain is a highly sentimental one, I’m sorry to say, based on our experience of recent years with cheap oil, easy automobile loans and plenty of electricity. There will be a much clearer distinction between rural and civic lives.

In the Long Emergency, those who chose country living had better be prepared to lead rural lives.

WHITTON The musical version of Little Shop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman Little Shop of and music by Alan Menken â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was based Horrors, book on a low-budget, black-and-white movie and lyrics by Howard Ashman, from 1960 by Roger Corman. That grainy music by film featured a then little-known actor Alan Menken. named Jack Nicholson as a nasty dental Directed by patient who liked pain enough to declare, John Hayden, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Novocain. It dulls the senses!â&#x20AC;? produced by Following its off-Broadway musical Northern Stage Company, adaptation by Menken and Ashman (also White River of Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast Junction. fame), it jumped back to the silver screen Wednesdays in a highly successful 1986 movie version Sundays through April 23, starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. various times.

Numerous regional stagings followed. By now everyone is surely familiar with the plot of Little Shop of Horrors.

In case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not: Geeky, out-of-luck Seymour Krelbourn has discovered an exotic plant with a strange and insatiable appetite. The plant is growing remarkably fast, as is Seymourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for his florist shop co-worker Audrey. But Audrey has a sadistic dentist boyfriend, and the plant has a bloodthirsty secret that threatens the entire planet. As the feeding frenzy begins, Seymour becomes a celebrity, and the plant, a worldwide sensation. In the end,

Seymour must decide whether to put a stop to his misguided behavior or risk losing his newly found fame and wealth, not to mention his new love.

Little Shop of Horrors effectively mixes sci-fi fantasy, broad comedy and an endearing love story. Most of all, though, the show is about human morality and the corruption of values in pursuit of material gain.

This rendition, directed by John Hayden, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer any new revelations to the familiar storyline, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to. Northern Stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little Shop is slick, entertaining and such a hit that its run has been extended an extra week.

Cory Grant is as wonderful a Seymour as you could wish: admirably but not overly geeky, and with a refreshing â&#x20AC;&#x153;edgeâ&#x20AC;? to his characterization. Robyn Elizabeth Lee is marvelous in the role of Seymourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love interest Audrey; she is lovable and clear-voiced, and never pushes her character into caricature. This is amply apparent in her beautiful interpretation of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous ballad, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green.â&#x20AC;? Grant and Lee are perfectly matched and have an infectious chemistry in their rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly Seymour.â&#x20AC;?

Damian Buzzerio brings a nice energy to flower-shop owner Mr. Mushnik. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mushnik and Sonâ&#x20AC;? tango with Grant is priceless. As the trio of street-urchin soulsisters, Ebony Afina Mills, Tymia R. Green and Meredith Suttles bring the house down with their â&#x20AC;&#x2122;tude and tight

musical harmonies. Mills’ powerful opening verse to “Downtown” is one of the evening’s standout moments.

Hayden’s simple and swiftmoving staging breaks away from the typical Little Shop mold by adding some fun surprises, particularly in the show’s final moments. In a few instances his staging is awkward, especially for actors inside the flower shop as Audrey II grows larger, but, in general, he uses the space well. However, he misses some opportunities to aid his ensemble in creating more suspenseful moments. Mushnik’s death seems rushed, and Audrey’s unbelievable. In addition, Jenny Lee Stern’s choreography could be a bit crisper and more imaginative, although it is always amusingly, intentionally cheesy.

Orin Scrivello, the evil dentist.

He seems to be trying to channel Steve Martin from the movie version, and delivers a confused interpretation. He finds some of Orin’s humor, but is not believably vicious enough to hurt Audrey in a way that would require “Epson salts and ace bandages.” Halbach fares better with his numerous smaller character roles.

The other problem is with the coordination of the quintessential “star” of Little Shop — the spectacular, man-eating plant Audrey II. Though Audrey II is ably voiced by Aaron Fuska and puppeteered by Gordon Gray, the duo doesn’t synchronize well enough for the audience to accept that they are “one.”

Last Saturday’s audience included lots of young theatergoers. It was amazing to see chil-

Northern Stage’s Little Shop is slick, entertaining and such a hit that its run has been extended an extra week.

The set design by Ken Goldstein cleverly reveals Mushnik’s Florist behind a cityscape, while also incorporating the production’s pit-band inside a building onstage. The band itself is tight, with wonderful musical direction by Tom McDonough. Annmarie Duggan has effectively lit the space, and Marynbeth Sousa-Wynn has fun with the costumes, especially those for the sequin-covered soul sisters.

The production makes only a couple of minor missteps. One is the casting of John Halbach as

dren so energized and intelligently discussing what they had seen as they left the theater.

Kudos to Northern Stage, not only for getting families to attend, but also for presenting youth with such a charming, professional product.

In the tradition of punishing all who let greed consume their nobler instincts, Little Shop of Horrors is a gory fairy tale without any possibility of a happy ending. Those who follow world events may find themselves looking beneath and beyond the play’s campy doings. 쩾

TIME TO “DISCOVER”

The Burlington Discover Jazz Festival is one of the most-anticipated musical events in the Green Mountains. And this year’s lineup might be the hottest in the festival’s 22-year history, with local and regional musicians joined by an incredible array of national and international talent. Here’s a quick preview of some of the highlights, starting with the Flynn MainStage concerts.

The 10-day celebration kicks off on Friday, June 3, with a Spring is finally here, and most of us are psyched to commune with performance by the increasingly popular songstress Madeleine Mother Nature. But if you’re a high-school student stuck in a stuffy Peyroux. With a voice that has been compared to that of Billie classroom, the last weeks before break can be excruciating.

A master in his own right, Tyner’s bluesy, lyrical style has earned him a place in jazz history, not to mention worldwide acclaim and a 2005 Grammy Award. The Fred Haas Quartet kicks off that show.

Let’s not forget about a Jazz Fest favorite — the Blues Tent.

This year’s theme is Bayou Blues, so be prepared to boogie. New Orleans sensation Buckwheat Zyedeco, The Rebirth Brass Band and Guy Davis light up Burlington’s Waterfront on Thursday, June 9.

The entire festival is dedicated to the memory of Vermont’s blues and jazz hero Big Joe Burrell, who passed away in February. “Big Joe is really the granddaddy of Discover Jazz, and this year his memory will really be with us,” says Andrea Rogers, the Flynn Center’s executive director. While his presence will be greatly missed, he’d surely want everyone to have a great time.

ACT NATURALLY

NAMED BY STRANGERS

JAMMING INTO SPRING Vermont’s popular acoustic-driven jam band Named By Strangers are gearing up for Springfest, their annual celebration at the Rusty Nail in Stowe. Featuring pals Green Tea, Adam Ezra Band, Casual Fiasco and Jeremy Harple, it sounds like quite the party. But you’ll also be doing some good while you’re grooving — the Friday, April 15th show is also a benefit for the Red Cross.

A few months ago, NBS participated in a tsunami-relief concert at the Rusty Nail. Inspired, the band decided to turn Springfest into a charitable event. “We’re donating part of the proceeds from the door, the money from the night’s album sales, and there’s going to be a raffle as well,” says lead guitarist Chad Dahlstrom. “Raising awareness is important to do as a musician. We figured, we have this party here, let’s have a cause for it, too.”

Fans have another compelling reason to join the festivities. This year’s concert will be the last for bassist Adam Quinn, who is amicably departing to concentrate on a career in computers. His replacement, Peter Bixby, formerly of Augusta Brown, will step in soon, but if you like the original lineup, you’ll want to be there.

KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN Open mikes are a great way for musicians to hone their craft while connecting with their peers. Although the general idea is usually the same — get there early, sign up and wait your turn — most of these sessions don’t offer prizes. That’s not the case at the Overtime Saloon in St. Albans. On Wednesday nights, the bar and live music venue supplies goodies to artists who’ve got “the goods.”

Hosted by singer-songwriter Billy Caldwell, the “Open Mike Challenge” is part informal jam session, part talent competition.

Weekly prizes include a $25 gift certificate to Advance Music in Burlington and a $10 gift certificate to Kevin Smith’s Sports Connection in St. Albans. The series runs for 12 weeks, with winners coming back to compete in the ultimate open mike throwdown. While 1

reviewthis VIDEO PIGEON, I DO NO GIVE

M83, BEFORE THE DAWN HEALS US (Mute Records, CD)

(Self-released, EP) Burlington’s noise-friendly Video Pigeon are part of the Queen City’s revitalized rock scene. After a seemingly endless parade of feel-good jammers and acoustic strummers, a growing number of edgier groups is hitting the local clubs. Taking their cues from avant-garde legends Sonic Youth, VP deliver I Do No Give, a five-song debut loaded with catchy, adventurous tunes.

Opener “Velour” sets guitarist/vocalist Sue Westfield’s detached spoken/sung vocals against a feisty guitar figure. A spiky noise-rock solo punctuates the song’s snappy breakdown, evoking ’90s Big Apple artrock while retaining a pop sensibility.

Guitarists/bassists Nicholas Farrell and Scott Lindenbaum cover a lot of sonic territory; their energetic downstrokes and scuffed-up tones push the songs through moods from the casually inviting to the standoffish. The interestingly named “Harry Sonnick Jr.” gives Farrell and Lindenbaum plenty of room to explore.

The six-stringers use the spaces well, creating terse chordal blasts and squalls of well-placed feedback.

Drummer Andy Baron is no longer with the group, but he holds down the fort pretty well on this disc.

There’s something to be said for a drummer who doesn’t overplay; his straight-ahead pulse helps anchor the band’s more experimental sections. Baron’s hi-hat and tom work on “Bunny Ears” provide a solid foundation for the hyper-distorted guitar section, accentuating the tune’s punky edges while driving it along.

The beautiful sway of “Bunny Ears” allows Westfield to deliver her most compelling vocal performance.

The song is a little slower and cleaner than the rest, leaving her room for more nuanced inflections. She affects a tone similar to Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, but nonetheless hints at a delicate sensuality all her own. With this kind of charisma, Westfield is well on her way to becoming one of the coolest frontwomen around.

Closing track “John Eckels” is named after a friend of the group, but not necessarily written about him.

“A tiny kitchen with countless hairs/math-rock metal and cheap mike stands,” Westfield purrs icily. A fine song no matter what the subject matter, it’s a good example of Video Pigeon’s imagistic style.

For a debut effort, I Do No Give is remarkably well-realized. This shouldn’t surprise VP watchers, however; the group has improved exponentially in the year or so they’ve been together. I can’t wait to hear where they go from here.

From the opening chords of “Don’t Save Us From the Flames,” the second cut on M83’s Before the Dawn Heals Us, it’s clear that the French band is playing by its own rules. The last time I heard this kind of synthesizer abuse was on The Cure’s miserable masterpiece Disintegration. I didn’t know how much I missed it.

Originally one of Europe’s best-kept secrets, M83 became a sensation with the worldwide release of Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts in 2004. That record combined the hazy, shoegazing aesthetic of My Bloody Valentine with the metallic sheen of modern electronica. It topped many taste-makers’ year-end lists, but left the group wide open for a backlash; reviews for the new disc have been lukewarm at best. While it’s true that M83 have modified their sound, they are hardly deserving of such critical antipathy.

Actually, the pronoun “they” is no longer accurate. Mastermind Anthony Gonzalez’s musical partner Nicolas Fromageau left shortly after Dead Cities’ first wave of acclaim.

Gonzalez completed its sequel largely by himself, with some help from a hired rhythm section.

While Before the Dawn lacks the dynamic subtleties of its predecessor, it’s still a powerful record. Large, lush and luminous, it’s the musical equivalent of Vegas neon — a massive blast of aural iridescence. The Eurotrash lyrics are cheesy to be sure, but are a great match for the extravagant sonic backdrop.

The driving “Teen Angst” features angelic vocals and sweeping keyboards that pour over the rigorous drum work like molten lava. To hell with the pretentious indie-snobs — this is one of the most gorgeously intense tunes I’ve heard in a long time. With its relentless attack and romantic core, it’s what punk rock might sound like on Venus.

That’s not to say there aren’t a few missteps. Gonzalez’s penchant for layered keyboards and studiously detached vocals sometimes approach overkill. The mind-melting refrain in “Can’t Stop” manages to annoy within the first 15 seconds. But the following track “Safe” gets it right, featuring gorgeously spare piano and haunting vocal melody reminiscent of solo John Lennon.

So don’t believe the anti-hype.

Before the9:24 Dawn AM Heals Page Us is baroque and bombastic but absolutely modq-SmallDog032305 3/21/05 1 enjoyable. Hear M83 Sunday, April 17, at Club Metronome with German electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss.

Mr. Natural

D EXHIBIT “Works on Paper”

by Don Hanson West Branch Gallery, Stowe.

Through May 1.

ARTWORK “Lucy’s Garden 9”

PHOTO Marc Awodey

on Hanson can’t be pigeonholed into one particular medium.

His current show of about 40 works at the West Branch Gallery in Stowe includes photo transfers, monoprints and encaustic painting. The catch-all description “mixed media” also applies to every piece. Those media include powdered pigments, tape, dyes, rust, rice paper, graphite, watercolor, tar and other elements. He rarely uses a brush, and instead scrapes and smears his colors onto both paper and panels.

Hanson also apparently likes to repeat himself; much of the work here is in series. Among the oldest pieces are 14 bird-inspired photo-transfer and mixed-media works taken from his large “Avian Series.” “Kites With Rust and Tape” presents three images of that bird of prey in a horizontal composition; it has a murky atmosphere of dark reds and deep browns. “Herons With Tar” is another horizontal grouping, but the backgrounds are light valued, accentuating the birds’ dark gracefulness. The entire “Avian Series” appeared at the Vermont Supreme Court building in 2003 and other venues in Hanson’s solo exhibition entitled “Damaged Beauty.” He gathered the images of his birds from the natural history taxidermy of the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury.

Hanson’s newer “Elk” series and two abstract garden series, “Lucy’s Garden” and “Monk and Mingus in the Garden,” have none of the somber overtones of their avian predecessor.

While the bird-related works seemed a requiem for the natural world, Hanson’s gardens and elk celebrate the vibrancy of nature.

The elk were inspired by a recent trip to Wyoming, but Hanson is also aware, of course, that elk have been appearing in art for the last 17,000 years. His beasts are simply described, like those of the Lascaux caves. A cobalt-blue and orange monoprint provides the background for “Elk 3”; the animal is a white form with a few lines scratched around the shape. The larger-scale “Elk 5” is less spontaneous and more

textured. Its elk looms in the center of the composition, almost crowded into the picture plane. The side of the animal is a translucent red-orange, and background negative space holds layers of light-valued hues.

The garden works are abstract landscapes, often with a horizon line and forms that might be read as flowers and trees. “Lucy’s Garden 1” is a work on paper about 24 inches square — one of the largest pieces in the series. It also has the most contrast between light and dark. The lower third of the piece is an almost black monoprint, while scratchy lines are bundled over smeared lime green at left; orange hues spread over the right side.

Numbers 9 and 10 of the “Lucy’s Garden” series are only about 10 inches square and mounted on wood. Both have a three-pronged flower form near their centers — white in number 9 and green in 10. Hanson dug and scraped into their surfaces, energetically “mark making” over the simple compositions.

The title of the “Monk and Mingus in the Garden” series refers to Hanson’s interest in jazz. Along with the small “Lucy’s Garden” pieces, they are among the most painterly works in the show, and are described only as “mixed media” rather than “monoprint field with mixed media,” as are the largest Lucy pieces.

“Monk and Mingus in the Garden 13” is one of the few garden works lacking an obvious horizon line. It’s an ethereal indigo nocturne with bunches of red flowers clustered at the lower right, center and left.

Hanson seems to be constantly experimenting with media and redefining his personal aesthetic as those experiments progress. Or is it the other way around? The artist has a utilitarian approach to materials and uses whatever it takes to bring forth his images. Either way, his experiments seem to succeed every time, and beauty is their inevitable result. m

LIVING COLOR

The most recently produced paintings

in Peter Arvidson’s exhibition “Color Fields,” at Burlington’s DollAnstadt Gallery this month, are reminiscent of Georges Seurat’s impressionistic pointillism. A key difference is that while Seurat’s 19th-century dots added up to figures and forms, Arvidson’s are shimmering, nonobjective field paintings. His subject matter is pure, bold color applied in rhythmic dots. Pictured: “Fable.”

Fever Pitch HH

I

t’s official: The Farrelly brothers have run out of funny.

Don’t listen to critics who tell you their latest is sensitive, warm-hearted and more grown-up than their previous films. The truth is, it’s more lazily boilerplate than anything they’ve done before.

FARRELLY Fever Pitch is based on English writer Nick Hornby’s OBVIOUS book about his obsession with soccer. It’s been If this by-the- Americanized to concern a thirtyish high school teacher’s numbers comedy is any indication, obsession with the Boston Red Sox. Jimmy Fallon, who the fraternal seemed so bright and likable on “Saturday Night Live,” has filmmakers have gotten off to a rocky start in the movies. He follows his run out of funny. unimpressive performance in the moronic buddy film Taxi with a lackluster, undistinguished turn in this moronic romantic comedy.

Drew Barrymore has made a career out of playing cookie-cutter cutie pies, and she plays yet another one here.

The idea is, she’s an upwardly mobile business executive who’s always put her career before her personal or romantic life. Fallon’s character, on the other hand, is a laid-back man-child for whom the Red Sox are the center of the universe. The two begin dating during the off season, so the relationship has progressed to meet-the-parents stage by the time spring training rolls around, and Barrymore discovers what she’s signed on for.

Somehow, up to this point, Fallon’s baseball jerseys, Red Sox T-shirts, underwear, pajamas and bedding, the baseball-glove-shaped telephone, the photos of Yaz and Conigliaro, and even the scale replica of Fenway Park’s scoreboard on an apartment wall have seemed harmlessly cute to her. As opening day approaches and Fallon’s attention becomes ever more fixated on the upcoming season, however, it begins to dawn on Barrymore that there may be a problem.

The two have many heart-to-heart talks about this. He explains that a kindly uncle who had season tickets took him in, taught him to love the team, and left him the highly prized tickets when he died. He explains that the people who have permanent seats surrounding his are his “summer family.” Here’s an example of the movie’s comic level: In one scene, Fallon kneels before Barrymore and holds up a small black box. What is he proposing? That she come to game one with him. A ticket is inside the box.

Here’s another typical gag: While sitting in the stands with him, Barrymore gets knocked out by a speeding foul ball. As the movie grinds on, you realize that if bananas were sold at the ballpark instead of peanuts and Crackerjacks, the Farrellys wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity for her to slip on a peel. There’s Dumb and Dumber, and there’s just plain dumb.

Since the script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Forget Paris) leaves no romantic-comedy convention untapped, there isn’t a minute in the film when we don’t know precisely what the next will bring. It will surprise no one, for example, when late in the picture Barrymore finally decides she can’t put up with it anymore. Will they work things out and win the World Series of love? Let’s just say it’s too late in the game by that point for the Farrellys to start defying formula.

Between its phoned-in performances, dim-witted dialogue, slavish devotion to cliché and by-the-numbers direction, Fever Pitch is a comedy with four strikes against it.

There’s little of interest here for fans of the sport, of romantic comedy or of the fraternal filmmakers. In their latest, Peter and Bobby Farrelly seem less interested in taking us out to the ball game than in merely taking us. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Screening Scirmishes use a name so similar to that of the WFF, Losique has launched a lawsuit to reclaim the lost funding.

Meanwhile, he vows to keep going; his 2005 dates are August 27 through September 4.

But the plot thickens: Spectra initially wanted to debut the IFF from October 13 through 23. This would have coincided with the 34-year-old Nouveau, whose director accused Spectra of acting like Wal-Mart. Last week, Spectra changed the dates to September 18-25. That still leaves the The festival doesn’t desperate- city with three festivals in three ly try to get Hollywood block- months.

Some American filmgoers express busters and trumpet the first loyalty for the endangered WFF. “Of all the major international festivals, it showing of a mediocre is the most haphazardly programmed and eccentric, [but] not without its American film as its great rewards,” says Richard Porton, an editor at the New York-based Cineaste programming triumph. magazine. “Montréal routinely feaCHRIS BOOTH tures both important films and forgettable duds.” government funding agencies withChris Booth, a Vermont resident drew an estimated $1 million in supfor 11 years before returning to his port from the WFF, which has been native England in 2002, once made around for almost three decades, the trek north every August to the reportedly because founder Serge WFF. “The festival doesn’t desperateLosique refuses to allow budget trans- ly try to get Hollywood blockbusters parency.

from the Montréal scene. I owe him too huge a debt of pleasure.”

Nonetheless, the WFF’s bilingual program guides have always amused Booth: “Then there was the extraordinary film précis, gnomically written in broken English. I remember one that started something like: ‘Life was getting difficult in 11th-century Iceland.’ What, as opposed to the happy days Icelanders enjoyed in the 10th century?”

Rick Winston, owner of the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, is a long-time fan of the WFF. “If you take a chance there, you’ll see a few good things,” he suggests. “If you do your homework, you’ll see many good things.

You come away feeling so enriched.”

The Losique operation, in fact, “is an inspiration for the Green Mountain Film Festival,” explains Winston, who helps organize that annual March gathering in Vermont’s capital city. “What audiences say about us is what our programming committee always says about the experience in Montréal: ‘I feel like I’ve been around the world.’”

Host Ken Peck screens local films on “Reel Independents,” a Vermont Public Television program returning to the airwaves this weekend after a seven-month hiatus. The April 15 selection is Beyond 88 Keys: The

Music of Michael Arnowitt, a profile of the Montpelier concert pianist

by Susan Bettmann of North Middlesex.

Each Friday night at 10 p.m., Peck broadcasts cinematic work and interviews the filmmakers involved. The coming season, which runs through June, will include about 10 episodes.

“I am amazed at how popular the show has become,” says Peck, who lives in Charlotte. “People stop me everywhere: at the Weston general store, the Putney co-op, even on top of Mount Abe. But, of all my friends, I only know one couple who actually watch the darn thing. I can’t even get it here because the reception is so bad.”

Speaking of VPT, the station’s woodsy “Outdoor Journal” and 2004 comedy series “Windy Acres” — directed by Jay Craven of Peacham — have been nominated for several regional Emmys. Winners will be announced May 7 in Boston.

When I briefly mentioned the Lake Placid Film Festival last week, could it have been the kiss of death? The next day, a press release announced the Adirondack event has succumbed to financial woes. Showcasing movies is indeed a risky endeavor — though probably not quite as difficult as life in 11th-century Iceland. m

READ THIS FIRST: This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words.

But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

NOW is the time for all good men to disown their leader.

If you use the word REMARKABLY, teens will hate you.

Life is a bowl of rose petals; THEN again maybe it isn’t.

The most useless word in the English language is VERY. If you read too FAST you’ll miss the subtle punctuation.

Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARDLY HARD AND EASILY EASY. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week.

(127 min, PG-13) SIDEWAYSHHHH1/2 Alexander (About Schmidt) Payne directed and co-wrote this buzz-happy story about two old friends who take a wine-tasting road trip and assess their lives along the way.

Starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. (98 min, R) SIN CITYHHH1/2 Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez bring us this visually inventive screen interpretation of Miller’s hardbitten graphic novels. The cast includes Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro and Jessica Alba. (120 min, R) THE AVIATORHHH Howard Hughes was an innovator and a risk taker. So it’s ironic that Martin Scorsese’s screen portrait of him is the least audacious and adventurous movie he’s ever made. Leonardo DiCaprio does a captivating impression, but the script never quite brings its subject meaningfully to life. With Cate Blanchette, Alec Baldwin and, it goes without saying, Jude Law. (117 min, PG-13) THE PACIFIERHHH With his dramatic and action options dwindling by the minute, Vin Diesel resorts to comedy in director Adam Shankman’s laugher about a military-commando type whose latest mission calls for him to pull babysitting duty.

With Faith Ford and Brad Garrett. (91 min, PG) THE RING TWOHH1/2 Videotapes of evil continue to be a source of concern for Naomi Watts and David Dorfman in this sequel to the 2002 horror hit. With Simon Baker and Sissy Spacek. Directed

by Hideo Nakata. (107 min, PG-13) THE SEA INSIDEHHHH Javier Bardem stars in Alejandro Amenabar’s critically praised portrait of Ramon Sampedro, a Galician who broke his neck in a diving accident as a young man and gained fame for his eloquent lifelong legal battle to be euthanized. With Belen Rueda and Tamar Novas. (125 min, PG-13) THE UPSIDE OF ANGERHHH1/2 From writer-director Mike Binder comes this drama about a suburban wife left to raise

C I N E M A S

four daughters when her husband unexpectedly disappears. Joan Allen and Kevin Costner star.

TRAVELERS AND MAGICIANSHHH1/2 Khyentse (The Cup) Norbu directs this fable about a young man who leaves his Himalayan homeland for the U.S., where a Buddhist monk's suspenseful tales make him reconsider his plan. (104 min, PG-13)

NEW ON DVD/VHS BAD EDUCATIONHHHH The latest from Pedro Almodovar stars Gael Garcia Bernal in the story of a young film director whose life is changed when an old school pal pays an unexpected visit. Fele Martinez and Javier Camara costar. (109 min, NC-17) CONSTANTINEHH1/2 Keanu Reeves stars in music-video director Francis Lawrence’s metaphysical thriller about a loner cursed with the ability to recognize devils in human disguise and condemned to spend his days sending them back where they came from. Based on the Vertigo Comics series. With Rachel Weisz and Max Baker.

(121 min, R) ELEKTRAH1/2 Evidently believing there aren’t enough comic book-based movies out there already, director Rob Bowman brings us this straight-from-the-pages-of-Marvel action extravaganza about a mysterious female warrior. Starring Jennifer Garner and Terrence Stamp. (97 min, PG-13) HOTEL RWANDAHHHH See “SHORTS.” OCEAN'S TWELVEHH Steven Soderbergh directs this sequel to his 2001 remake about a gang that robs a dangerous Las Vegas businessman. This time around, the newly rich crew finds themselves scrambling to repay what they stole. Starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. (125 min, PG-13) SEED OF CHUCKYHH Don Mancini, who created the demented doll series and scripted all five installments, now makes his debut behind the camera. The latest introduces the title character’s long lost offspring of evil. Featuring the voices of Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly and Billy Boyd.

(87 min, R) SUSPECT ZEROH1/2 Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley star in this crime thriller about an FBI agent on the trail of a serial killer with a shocking secret. CarrieAnne Moss co-stars. E. Elias Merhige directs. (100 min, R) THE WOODSMANHHHH Kevin Bacon stars as a child abuser released from prison who struggles with old demons when he strikes up a friendship with a neighborhood girl.

FRUIT LOOPS

Justin Morrill introduced the land grants that made state universities possible. But the 19th-century advocate for public higher ed was also an avid horticulturalist who laid the groundwork for an apple orchard on his Strafford acreage. One hundred and 50 years later, just six decrepit trees remain, and things have come full circle. Morrill Homestead gardener and botanist Lorenz Rutz has been growing cuttings from the ancient apples onto vigorous new rootstock, and working from Morrill’s detailed wish lists to separately acquire almost 100 antique varieties. Anyone interested in apple alchemy can graft their own tree under Rutz’s guidance, then take it home to plant. In a few years you’ll be harvesting your own fruit of the, er, heirloom.

APPLE TREE GRAFTING Saturday, April 16, Justin Morrill Vermont State Historic Site, Strafford, 1-3 p.m. $10. Registration and info, 765-4637.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@LATIN DAY PATRICK GYMNASIUM, UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 9 A.M. Latin may be dead, but if the boisterous atmosphere at Patrick Gym last Friday was any indication, studying it is back in style.

Nearly 1000 middle and high school students from Vermont and Hanover, New Hampshire, gathered to celebrate UVM’s 29th Annual Latin Day, sponsored by the university’s classics department. Many of them bounded about the gym sporting togas draped over their jeans and T-shirts.

Some of the organizers got into the spirit as well. Grad student Sara Sprunk wore a homemade T-shirt decorated with a skull above two crossed swords, and the legend Praedo sum, praetores tradite. “It means, ‘I am a pirate, hand over your praetors,” she explained. In ancient Rome, the praetors were high-ranking officials; Sprunk’s shirt refers to the empire’s 1st-century B.C. piracy problem.

To start the event, Classics Department Chair Mark Usher welcomed the assembled throng in their shared ancient tongue, and introduced alumnus Erik Kenyon, who led them in a rendition of “Gaudeaumus Igitur.” Its first solemn verse translates as “Let us rejoice when we’re young, because soon the ground will hold us.”

Afterwards, the students competed in a language and culture test, and performed skits. Burlington High School staged a battle between two groups of girls, one wearing placards representing the first declension, the other wearing placards for the fourth.

“Oh, my God, Julia, look at that ending,” said one of the first declension girls. “The ‘u’ is so last season.” The judges sniggered appreciatively. Next, the delegation from Essex High School delivered a rousing rap number entitled “Pyramus and Thisbe: a Remix.”

In addition to their skits, the students brought displays on classical culture, everything from a diorama of Daedalus and Icarus inside a K-Swiss box to a 4-by-4-foot working wooden model of a ballista — “most accurate of all Roman siege engines,” according to a sign.

Its creators, Patrick LeClair and Nick Duff of Essex, said they take Latin because it gives them a good foundation to study languages and culture, and because it will help them prepare for the SATs. Also, they get to build cool weapons.

SITTING PRETTY

The figures in Tibetan thangka paintings may be gorgeous art, but the colorful images are also imbued with religious significance. Buddhist teacher Lama Tsondru Sangpo has taught the craft of creating these delicate silk icons for 33 years, first to the Tibetan community-inexile in India and, more recently, to American students at the Center for Dzogchen Studies in New Haven, Connecticut. A brief show of Lama Sangpo’s work includes a thangka-painting demo on Saturday. That evening, Wesleyan University religion professor Jan Willis describes what it’s like to be an African-American scholar and a Tibetan Buddhist in passages from her new memoir, Dreaming Me: A Baptist Buddhist Journey. Meditate on that.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Folksong collector and composer Margaret MacArthur was designated a â&#x20AC;&#x153;New England Living Art Treasureâ&#x20AC;? 20 years ago. The cheerful, grandmotherly harp-zither player made numerous visits to Vermont public schools to teach and sing local ballads incorporating area landmarks. Kids raised on MTV and commercial radio were thrilled to hear a â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? song about the mountain visible from oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard. Enthusiastic MacArthur hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slowed down much â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the lore-preserver is a vigilant time-keeper. She pulls out all the stops for a family show with her son and daughter. Feel free to hum along.

It’s been almost four months since the tsunami devastated Southeast Asia, but some grassroots fundraising efforts are just coming to fruition. Pianist Peter Serkin plays up the connection in a classical concert at Middlebury. And nine local groups, including world jazzers 35th Parallel, gospel gal Tammy Fletcher and Burlington Taiko, are teaming up under the Flynn’s roof. One hundred percent of the proceeds from both shows go directly to benefit the American Red Cross and other aid organizations targeting the stricken area. Here’s hoping for waves of relief.

APRIL 14-20

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): I think

like experiencing the exhilaration of flight with the queasiness of vertigo. She can take you to new heights, but don’t expect a comfortable ride.” While this may be a good assessment of the book, it’s also an apt description of your immediate future, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be veering back and forth between feelings akin to a rapturous flying dream and a dizzying free fall.

Don’t worry: There’ll be a mostly happy ending, even if you feel a bit seasick as you arrive in the winner’s circle.

you’re ready for your once-a-decade reminder from Anaïs Nin about the hazards of not growing. I first brought her pithy quote to the attention of the Aries tribe back in 1993. It had a salubrious effect on many of you, dissolving some of your crystallized fears and speeding up your evolution. Let’s hope it works the same magic this time: “The day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

(P.S. Think back to where you were in 1993.

It’s time for you to leap to the next level as you resume working on a long-term project you began back then.)

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Henry David Thoreau took his relationship with nature as seriously as he did his connections with people. “I frequently tramped eight or ten miles,” he said, “to keep an appointment with a beech tree or a yellow birch or an old acquaintance among the pines.” This is an attitude I encourage you to emulate in the coming weeks, Leo. Non-human life forms will have a lot to give you. The great outdoors should be a classroom where you seek wisdom that will help you solve your most pressing questions, as well as a temple where you can go to bask in the presence of lively and surprising truths.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Every year of their adult lives, male Emperor penguins in Antarctica spend 60 consecutive days standing out in the frigid wastes without food as they guard and brood the eggs containing their offspring. Their ordeal reminds me a little of the story of your life lately, Taurus. You’ve been out in the cold doing your duty for a long time. But I believe you’re ready to do something akin to what the male penguins do when the babies finally hatch and the mothers return from their 60-day vacations: feast and rest, rest and feast.

like most people, you have an ailment you’ve learned to live with. It’s bothersome though not incapacitating. Maybe you’ve tried various treatments for it, but it never quite goes away, or it recedes for a while and returns in force. That’s the bad news. The good news, Gemini, is that you now have extra power to zap that nagging malady. I suggest you start the process by having a dialogue with the affected part of your body. Explain to it why you really want it to heal itself now. Next step: Devote yourself to doing the research and getting the help that brings a total cure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The World Cow Chip Throwing Contest will be held this week in Beaver, Oklahoma. If you’ve got the time and inclination, I suggest you attend. It would be especially fortuitous if you not only watched the festivities, but also got a chance to compete. One way or another, Scorpio, you’re going to have urges to sling dung — either the metaphorical or actual variety — and it would be far better to do it in a setting where such activity is sanctioned. That way, no reputations will be tweaked and no one will get hurt. If you can’t make it to Beaver, Oklahoma, you should maybe arrange your own Cow Chip Throwing Contest in the nearest pasture. If you’re an urban dweller, it would be worth driving out to the sticks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

heard about horse whisperers, people who have a deeply intuitive, almost psychic rapport with horses. You may have also heard about baby whisperers, those who specialize in reading the body language and secret thoughts of infants. Well you, my dear

The Mohave Indians once had a tradition of “Great Tellings.” Members of the tribe would gather together for many hours, sometimes over the course of a few days, to hear storytellers unfold long narratives about their people’s history, with great attention

Speaking on behalf of the cosmic forces, Aquarius, I urge you to unleash a whole hell of a lot of gratitude in the coming week. I’m not talking about mumbling a few shy words of thanks here and there. I mean you should uncork a fireworks display of extravagant appreciation, delivered with boisterous cheer and expansive body language. Express your gratitude as if you were addressing not just the helper standing right in front of you, but every person, animal, spirit, landscape and plant that has contributed to making your life as good as it is. Proclaim your reverent, praise-filled paeans of thanks as if you were giving the whole universe its proper due for its many blessings.

paid to major turning points and heroic adventures. I suggest that you arrange some version of a Great Telling for you and yours, Capricorn. You need to remember where you came from. It’s a perfect moment to get in touch with your origins and refresh yourself about all the influences that have led you to where you are today.

Indian mountain climbers recently got married in a place that symbolized the fearlessness they want to bring to their alliance.

Along with the officiating priest, they hung 2000 feet in the air, suspended from ropes between two mountains. I suggest you regard them as your metaphorical role models in the coming weeks, Virgo. You’ll be getting unprecedented opportunities to enjoy adventures that involve collaboration, blending, and unification. Take imaginative advantage of those opportunities.

Natural Childbirth Classes Dr. Michelle A. Sabourin Dr. Suzanne M. Harris

Libra, currently seem to have the skills of a “dove” whisperer. If you like, you could probably achieve a mind-meld with those birds in the coming weeks. Perhaps more importantly, you will also possess the unusual blend of powers that doves have symbolized throughout history: to bring peace, to cultivate tender intimacy, and to bless lust.

21): “I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love,” said Elizabeth KüblerRoss. While that observation always applies to you, Sagittarius, it’s especially true now.

More than at any other time in the past 11 months, you require a flood of profuse, nostrings-attached love. I urge you to go out and do whatever’s necessary to get it. By the way, you would also derive stupendous benefits from “doling out” lavish amounts of unconditional love. Your top priority, therefore, should be to both receive and give over-the-top generosity.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My friend said he heard a radio program about a psychologist who could predict whether a relationship would last based on a 15-minute interview with the couple. He said the segment offered information about how to make a relationship work, but he couldn’t remember the specifics. I’m getting married this summer. Since I’ve been divorced twice, I feel I could use some help. Do you know who these experts might have been, and if so, could you pass along some of their tips?

Hopeful in Hinesburg Dear Hopeful, Congratulations, and good luck! Public Radio’s “This American Life” recently ran a story about the Gottman Institute. The Gottmans say that what makes or breaks a marriage isn’t whether disagreements exist, but how they’re handled. When successful couples argue, they don’t blurt out angry thoughts or introduce touchy topics in a critical, contemptuous or confrontational tone. They respond to each other’s points, rather than just repeating their own or tuning out. They diffuse anger by using humor, changing the topic or saying something positive. The Gottmans found that in enduring relationships, each negative comment is offset by at least five positive remarks.

Love, Lola

Hi there, I'm Allie. I am 3-year-old female Spaniel mix. If you don't mind, I'm going to get right to the point. I really need a home! I just know there is a person or people out there willing to be compassionate and understanding as I adjust to living the good life in a home with humans. I spent this past winter running at large and fending for myself, and frankly, that's no picnic. Once you get to know me, I am very sweet and smart. Although I enjoy playing with other dogs, I have not shown much interest in playing with toys, but maybe they'll grow on me. I know 'sit', and would benefit from positive reinforcement training. I am looking for a home with adults only or with older kids 13 and up. I have so much potential! Please help me reach it.
