We at the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity believe that access to technology can make a major difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and that computer skills are for all ages, income levels and backgrounds. To this effect we offer free computer mentoring for low-income seniors and refugees at our wired lab in Burlington. All refugees and senior citizens interested in learning computer basics in order to communicate with loved ones, manage their lives, access the Web, connect to employers, advance in jobs, or to aid running a business are welcome to get free training in CVOEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer access center.

institute asking for admission. Clearly, you can see, the concept pre-dates Kenneth Cleaver’s “unique idea.”

As a comic whose material has been ripped off by others over the years, I find Kenneth Cleaver to be nothing more than, as we say in the business, a hack. And his ideas pale in comparison with Mr. Rosa’s, as cheap imitations often do.

Perhaps the next time you sign on a humor columnist you could check to see if his “original ideas” are, in fact, actually his.

Paul Cook BURLINGTON

REAL GREEN Last week’s cover story [“Global Warning,” April 13] illustrates the severity of environmental problems we’ve made for ourselves. Status quo environmentalism is too little too late.

Environmentalists are a fractured group. Like political special interest groups, environmental groups focus on advancing their own pet causes instead of forming coalitions to advance common goals. These causes boil down to either treating the symptoms of a larger environmental problem or defeating some new development, whether it be WalMart or wind farms.

Production of electric power is the biggest single cause of air pollution. Down-stream symptoms include acid rain, rising asthma rates among children, and airborne mercury. Since electric power is a needed commodity and demand is growing, utilities need to switch on a large scale from polluting fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources like wind power. Unlike oil deposits, wind is widely distributed.

Yet every proposed wind farm in Vermont has experienced attacks from NIMBY groups, and a troubling silence on the part of environmentalists. If we know there is a

problem (air pollution) and we know the solution (clean energy), why aren’t we implementing the solution?

The big issue is aesthetics. Wind turbines are tall and must be sited on windy hills and ridgelines. Until invisible paint is invented, wind turbines will be noticeable.

Our environmental problems are local, grave and, if Kunstler is right, immediate. The solution will require new development and construction of wind farms, solar systems, hybrid cars, etc. Environmentalists need to stop saving the view and start building solutions.

Patrick Strom

quoting statistics rather than addressing an issue, they are leaving something out of the equation.

The second comment was made

by Ron Redmond, director of Church Street Marketplace. Ron says; “The minute someone announces they’re going out of business, a long line forms and lots of businesses start vying for those available spots.”

Like Quiznos subs? Ron, you’re telling me that no locally owned business applied to move into the old poster shop that was a better choice than a chain restaurant?

Apparently those rates that Mr. Bradley quoted looked real toasty to Quiznos. Too bad they couldn’t work for a local business.

And how long has it been since Symmetree went out of business, Mr. Bradley? Two years, I believe. It’s taken two years for you to get yet another restaurant into that space?

Having worked on Church Street for the better part of three years, I’ve heard need of a few things that you folks might consider getting moved into our Marketplace: a hardware store, a fabric shop, an affordable poster shop, and maybe a few less high-end jewelry and restaurant chains. It would be too bad to think of Church Street as another “money talks” section of the world. I’m hoping that you can help turn it back into a “People’s Choice” environment.

SHOP TALK As an employee on Church Street, I found your article [“Local Matters,” April 13] on the various Church Street shops leaving the Marketplace to have a few concerning comments.

Yves Bradley, a real-estate agent with Pomerleau, mentions that rates on Church Street are reasonable when compared to what retailers pay in Boston. He then goes on to mention that the Marketplace offers $8.50 per square foot compared to $45 in Boston.

That’s all well and good, but please, correct me if I’m wrong, doesn’t Boston have more foot traffic, more residents, more colleges with more students than Burlington?

I guess I feel that when people start

t’s never been done before. No one has successfully taken on the most bloated industry the U.S. has ever known — health care — and won.

We all consider it an absolute right in the land of the free and home of the brave.

We want the best treatment regardless of the cost, and we want it instantly when we suffer an accident or affliction. But somebody always pays, and that somebody is us.

Most people think the only payouts they make for health care are for their own insurance and pharmaceuticals. But Rep. John Tracy, the determined chairman of the House Health Care Committee, has been hammering home the point that we pay for health care every time we buy almost anything.

Whether it’s a new car or a new bike, a portion of the purchase price goes to pay for the health insurance the manufacturer provides for its workers.

When you pay your property tax, a portion — an ever-growing portion — goes to pay for the health insurance for the folks in the clerk’s office and the classroom.

The fact is, we pay almost twice as much per capita on health care as do our friends in Canada and France. But they live longer and have have lower infant-mortality rates.

Go figure.

Vermont Democrats, led by House Speaker Gaye Symington and State Sen. Peter Welch, are determined to devise a Vermont-based system that will control the expanding monster that is health care. And you can be sure, the rest of the country will be watching.

And what they’ll be watching looks to be a slam-down, drag-out battle reminiscent of the Cold War. As everyone knows, Republican Gov. Jim Douglas is vehemently opposed to the reform movement. Gov. Scissorhands has slammed the Democratic attempt since the day the session started. And Friday night, at the jam-packed GOP fundraiser at the Wyndham Hotel (more on that later), he fed the lions with a passionate call to arms.

“Democrats have proposed a government-run, taxpayer-financed health-care rationing plan,” scoffed Douglas. “It would dramatically raise taxes. It would put health-care decisions in the hands of politicians and government bureaucrats — a prospect I fundamentally and unequivocally oppose.”

Douglas told the faithful the Democrat plan “would raise $2 billion in new taxes and would be devastating to our economy.”

In fact, said the Guv, the fact that some of Vermont’s leaders are even talking about such a terrible thing in public “is already having a chilling effect on our ability to recruit and retain jobs, and threatens to reverse the gains we’ve made in the last couple years.”

We found ourselves caught up in the crowd noise. For the good of Vermont, won’t the Democrats please shut up and go away?

But when things quieted down, we realized the political expertise in Douglas’ verbal assault. Words, after all, do count a whole lot in the political game.

Speaker Symington gave Douglas a backhanded compliment in response.

“Clearly the administration has done its polling,” she said. “They know the words that scare people.”

Hey, isn’t our current system already pretty much “government-run?” And aren’t taxpayers of every stripe already paying out the “$2 billion” Douglas calls “new” taxes?

Though the Douglas team will lose in the House vote this week, it’s poised for a long battle to a bitter end. Nothing gets the blood flowing within the Scissorhands Circle more than Simple Symington’s health-care challenge.

In an exclusive no-holds-barred exchange with “Inside Track” this week, a source from the Douglas inner circle portrayed H. 524, the Democrats’ health-care reform bill, as nothing more than a “farleft” attempt to bring “socialized medicine” to the Green Mountains.

Ah, yes, the “Better Dead Than Red” days are back!

Speaking on condition of anonymity, Deep Head said the Ds “know they have a political monopoly on the issue. It’s the one issue where Democrats consistently out-poll Republicans.”

From where Deep Head sits, “The far left controls the House, and they are ideologically predisposed to socialized medicine.

In my view, they are very sincere, but very misguided. Blinded by the light, so to speak. But there is a big difference between a vision and a hallucination.”

H. 524 doesn’t have all the answers, yet.

It does, however, set a path for change. The timelines for implementation are flexible and negotiable. The bill will spark a number of studies and an ever-widening public discussion of what we’ve got now and what could work better.

Deep Head scoffs at the Democrats having “to waste more time studying it in the first place.” The bill’s “statement of purpose,” notes Deep Head, makes it clear where all the studies will lead.

That statement of purpose reads: “This bill would establish the goal of universal access to essential health-care services through a publicly financed, integrated, regional health-care delivery system in Vermont, provide mechanisms for cost containment in the system, and provide a framework, schedule and process to achieve that goal.”

You can read the entire bill as proposed by visiting http://www.leg.state.vt.us/ healthcare/.

“The answer, lest there be any confusion,” said Deep Head, “is that it’s a singlepayer bill disguised as a study to give the moderates cover. The question is, what will the moderates do next year?”

Yes, indeed, this is all about next year, isn’t it?

Next year, November in particular, is when Vermonters will decide if they want to keep a Republican at the controls of state government. In Deep Head’s view, health care is the only arrow in the Democratic quiver.

“People need to run for reelection, and this issue is really all they’ve got at the moment,” said Deep Head.

Make no mistake, Speaker Symington, she of the strong backbone, thinks the INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

Midd Kids Exercised Over Commencement Invitation Middlebury College in the recent past has tended to choose noncontroversial, feel-good celebrities to speak at its graduation ceremonies. Christopher Reeve spoke from his wheelchair last year, for example, and Fred Rogers gave a friendly talk in 2001.

The choice is different this time. And the response to the decision to have Rudolph Giuliani speak at the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 204th commencement exercise has hardly been heartwarming.

The prospect of the former New York City mayor receiving an honorary degree and addressing the Class of 2005 has so far resulted in a published commentary denouncing Giuliani as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;racistâ&#x20AC;?; a communiquĂŠ from President Ronald Liebowitz decrying â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptable and embarrassing ignoranceâ&#x20AC;? on the part of some students; the resignation of the school newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editor-in-chief; and a counterattack on Giulianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detractors as exponents of â&#x20AC;&#x153;reactionary, knee-jerk liberalism.â&#x20AC;?

Middlebury, and led Liebowitz to fire off a campus-wide email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision of the Campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; editorial staff to include such a photo reflects a gross misunderstanding of history, let alone of Mr. Giulianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. It also reflects an unacceptable and embarrassing ignorance of the magnitude of Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crimes against humanity,â&#x20AC;? wrote Liebowitz, who happens to be the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Jewish president.

Stung by her own editorial boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angry reaction to the caricature, Andrea Gissing soon resigned as editor-in-chief of the Campus. In an apologetic farewell editorial, Gissing wrote that she was stepping down â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I cannot say with any certainty that if given the same situation all over again I would have decided any differently.â&#x20AC;?

The same edition of the paper carried a ringing defense of Giulianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record by junior Andrew Carnabuci, a New Yorker and â&#x20AC;&#x153;registered Democrat.â&#x20AC;? Far from abusing homeless

Response to the decision to have Rudolph Giuliani speak has hardly been heartwarming.

And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a month to go before â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mayorâ&#x20AC;? actually takes the stage.

Despite demands that Giuliani be disinvited, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;no doubt he will be here on May 22,â&#x20AC;? says Eric Davis, a political science professor and the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designated spokesman on the controversy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also little doubt that Giulianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence will draw protests from some students, faculty and guests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably of the silent, turn-yourback-on-the-speaker variety. A few seniors are already lamenting that their day of celebration will be spoiled by displays of dissent.

The first shot in this battle was a doctored photo that ran in the March 17 edition of the student newspaper alongside a commentary by senior Ben Gore. In the illustration, Giuliani wears a Hitler-style hairdo and moustache.

Goreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion piece in The Middlebury Campus described Giuliani as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;racist.â&#x20AC;? It added that prior to the September 11 attacks, many non-elite New Yorkers were coming to regard the mayor as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fascist.â&#x20AC;? But Gore did not explicitly compare the twice-elected politician to the perpetrator of the Holocaust.

The illustration outraged many at

persons, as critics have charged, Giuliani adopted humane policies of providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean, safe shelters where they receive job training,â&#x20AC;?

Carnabuci wrote. He also disputed claims that police brutality worsened during Giulianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure.

The real reason why so many Middlebury students despise Giuliani is that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Republican, Carnabuci continued. Their â&#x20AC;&#x153;enraged response,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is indicative of the reactionary, knee-jerk liberalism, which, lamentably, is extremely fashionable on campus these days.â&#x20AC;?

The college must emphasize that Giuliani is being honored because of his performance in the aftermath of September 11, says Eric Davis. He adds that the former mayor seemed an apt choice in that regard, he adds, because the terrorist attacks took place on the Class of 2005â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second day as Middlebury students.

Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel would say only, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Giuliani looks forward to addressing the graduating class at Middlebury.â&#x20AC;?

SEVEN DAYS | april 20-27, 2005

<localmatters> the Department of Employment and Training; lawmakers, however, can bring them right onto the Statehouse lawn, where VPIRG will host a press conference at noon. They’re promoting H. 212, an electronics recycling bill similar to the bottle bill, which encouraged recycling in the beverage industry.

The idea, says Davis, is to shift the burden for recycling onto manufacturers such as Apple and Sony.

The legislation would make it illegal to dump or incinerate electronic waste in Vermont, and would require manufacturers to have a plan for the disposal of their obsolete products.

Liz Helrich of the CVSWMD says making corporations pay is not a bad idea. “We would certainly like to see the manufacturers who profit from the sale of these devices play a role instead of passing it on to the taxpayers,” she says.

Robin Ingethron, owner of Good Point Recycling, says he has some reservations about the bill, but is glad to see VPIRG shine a light on his industry. He’s committed to recycling responsibly. “We take anything with a cord, and make sure it gets sent to its most appropriate destination,” he writes in an email.

But not all recyclers are so scrupulous. Activist group BAN — the Basel Action Network — recently produced a video called “Exporting Harm: The High Tech Trashing of Asia,” in which they follow supposedly “recycled” computers to a town in China.

Their cameras record kids playing among towering piles of keyboards, monitors and wires. Some residents burn toxic circuit boards to extract parts.

Closeup shots show stickers tracing the computers back to libraries and schools in the U.S. Despite those dire images, Ingethron says the problem’s not so serious in Vermont, where many enviro-savvy consumers already recycle their electronics properly. According to him, “Vermont is number two in the nation at per capita electronics recycling, after Massachusetts.” Still, as long as there are new iPods to be had, there will be room for improvement.

CATHY RESMER

Bench Marks It isn’t easy being a judge these days. Vermont Supreme Court Justice John Dooley III made that clear April 16 at the University of Vermont. A crowd of about 200 packed UVM’s Memorial Lounge for his talk, which was part of a daylong symposium, “Ethics in Public Life,” honoring political science professor Alan Wertheimer on the occasion of his retirement.

Dooley’s session was entitled “Gay Rights and Judicial Activism: The View From the Bench.” The Justice, who was appointed to the state’s high court in 1987, has been a controversial figure, especially since he participated in the 1999 Baker decision that led to civil unions. In spite of vocal opposition from conservatives, he was recently retained for another six-year term. President Bush indirectly referred to Dooley in a February statement supporting a Constitutional amendment defining matrimony.

The prez accused “activist judges” of making “an aggressive attempt to redefine marriage.”

Charges of judicial activism have been lobbed at justices a lot lately, Dooley noted, from both the right and the left. This demonizing of the judiciary has even escalated to acts of violence against judges and their families. But Dooley didn’t really understand what “judicial activism” means, he said, until the president singled him out. That inspired the justice to research the topic.

Cognizant of his crowd, which included a number of visiting scholars from Ivy League institutions as well as several prominent players in the original civil unions debate, Dooley painstakingly analyzed his findings on topics such as precedence and methodology. He concluded that under the terms he’d laid out, the Baker decision didn’t qualify as judicial activism.

But then he added that in the current climate, these academic standards are beside the point. “Here’s what I think it’s really about,” he said, and listed three factors he believes are behind accusations of judicial activism: 1) a ruling involves sex; 2) a ruling involves equal protection; 3) the person making the charge doesn’t agree with the ruling.

Hungry?

Taking Out the E-Trash It’s painful to admit, but Americans’ love affair with technology is fast becoming an abusive relationship. All those new cellphones, laptops and PDAs will last only a few years at best. Once they’ve outlived their usefulness, many will be incinerated or piled in landfills.

That’s bad news for the environment, considering that nearly all of them contain highly toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium that may eventually seep into the groundwater — good old fashioned TVs, for example, contain between 4 and 8 pounds of lead. Environmental groups say that nearly 40 percent of the heavy metals in landfills already come from electronic waste.

It’s only getting worse. The International Association of Electronics’ Recyclers estimates that Americans will discard nearly three billion electronic goods during the remainder of the decade. That’s an average of about 400 million a year.

These numbers worry Ben Davis, an environmental advocate for the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. “The scope of the problem is mind-boggling,” he says.

To raise awareness of the issue, VPIRG is sponsoring a free e-waste collection in Montpelier on April 26. They’re inviting individuals, school groups and, perhaps most importantly, legislators, to recycle their electronics for free between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Middlebury’s Good Point Recycling is donating some of its time and labor; federal grants will cover the rest.

Free computer recycling is a good incentive to get rid of those old Commodore 64s. Electronic equipment is difficult to recycle, and people who try to save this material from the landfill usually have to pay.

The Chittenden Solid Waste District accepts e-waste at its Williston site for $10 per computer. The Champlain Valley Solid Waste Management District, which is co-coordinating the event with VPIRG, charges roughly the same amount to accept e-waste at their recovery depot in Barre.

Davis says members of the general public should take their old PCs and TVs to the parking lot behind

He added, however, that he was “beginning to worry about the large wood consumption.” Shanghai, for example, uses 140,000 tons of tissues and toilet paper a year, which Wang said requires “80,000 tons of wood pulp, equal to about 300,000 tons of wood.” As a result, factories are exploring other raw materials to produce toilet paper, including straw and sugarcane. 쩾

“I’m game,” I said. I quoted him the price and asked, “Will that number make sense to your friend?”

“It won’t be a problem,” he replied, and proceeded to give me the delivery information. I then picked up the device — the nature of which I never did discover. When it comes to things like this, I proceed on a strictly need-to-know basis. Before leaving town, I stopped at City Market to fill a small bag with sandwich wraps, sodas and cookies. Then, I was off.

I hit my stride on Route 22A, that undulating ribbon cutting straight down Vermont’s west side. I didn’t expect to complete this round-trip until late the following morning, so pacing was essential.

Rarely do I use the taxi’s cassette player, but on a marathon run like this, a classic recording by Bruce, Eric or Joni can carry me for quite a stretch. I had stocked up musically before leaving B-town and kept the tapes playing the entire trip south.

At the tollbooths near the end of the New York State Thruway, I asked the toll taker for the best route into Manhattan.

“That would be the Palisades Parkway directly to the G.W. Bridge,” she replied without pausing, as she deftly accepted my money and passed me the change.

“Really?” I said. “You don’t think it’s faster to head east over the Tappan Zee?” “Not even close,” she replied with that patented New Yorker smirk. “Trust me, take the Palisades.”

“Yo — I trust ya,” I said, my accent coming back still 20 miles out of my old stomping grounds.

eastern route, which takes you through the Bronx. Though it was by now 3 in the morning, there was still traffic; New York is, indeed, “the city that never sleeps.”

I exited the F.D.R. Drive onto the Upper East Side of Manhattan. That’s when it hits you: the energy of eight million residents, playing, working, making love, dancing, fighting, all squeezed into a few square miles of concrete and glass. It’s hard for me to believe that I breathed this air the first 18 years of my life.

Heading south on Second Avenue, I sat at a light at East 96th Street. The major north-south avenues that stripe Manhattan are some eight lanes across and were long ago converted to alternating, one-way roads. I glanced up at my rear-view mirror and saw a yellow tsunami bearing down on me. At least two dozen NYC cabs were out in search of late-night bar-hoppers leaving the singles venues that dot the street.

There I was, this strange, green-plated, foreign taxicab in their sights. All I could think of was the lions and the Christians.

Just as the traffic light changed, they were all around me, cutting me off to the left and the right. I felt like I was in a blender.

This was embarrassing, given that I had cut my taxi-driving teeth on these same mean streets in the early ’70s. But that was then, and this was now. In 2005, I’m just one more country bumpkin.

I managed to limp to the far left lane and soon came to the delivery destination, a typical high-rise on East 76th Street. I parked and walked into the lobby. The doorman said that Mr. Van Voorhies was expecting me. The elevator stopped at the 16th floor. This wasn’t even halfway to the top, I reflected, but it was higher than any single building in Vermont. Earl met me at his door dressed in a bathrobe. He looked wan, but his eyes were bright as he paid me, and warmly thanked me for making the long trip.

On the walk back to my taxi, I passed one of those Manhattan fruit-and-vegetable stands, with all the produce impeccably stacked and displayed to the passing traffic.

By now it was close to 4 a.m. on Easter Sunday, yet the store was open for business. God bless New York, I thought. Two young Asian men were busy restocking shelves as I stepped in to look around.

I approached the rows of apples, picked out the biggest, shiniest red Delicious in the stack, and brought it over to one of the guys. “That all you want?” he asked.

“Yup,” I said. “Just the apple.”

“Okey-dokey,” he said. “Seventy-five cent.”

Coming into Albany, I was hitting the wall. Suddenly, the first rays of the rising sun streamed across the eastern horizon. I reached over to the passenger seat where my piece of fruit was sitting quietly — very well behaved — picked it up and slowly drew it to my mouth. I had the strongest sense that one juicy bite of the big apple would revive me for the home stretch. 쩾

answer: FARFALLE

T

he call came early Saturday evening, the eve of Easter Sunday. “Jernigan,” said an old friend, “this is an odd request, but do you ever take rides to New York City? I have a friend in Manhattan who needs a piece of medical equipment delivered to him.”

“Sure enough,” I said. “I’ll go anywhere.

Well, you know — if it’s connected by land.”

I heard chuckling on the other end of the line. “That’s understandable, man.

Well, let’s do it, then. D’ya have a pen handy? I’ll give you my friend Earl’s address.”

“Whoa — you mean tonight? I assumed we were talking about some future date.”

“No, that’s why I called you. Earl needs this tonight. Well, by early Sunday morning, anyway. You still game?”

I paused a moment before responding to do the time-money-energy calculus. In my early years of hacking, this would have taken me a while, but at this stage I can do it in 10 seconds.

bliss

BY HARRY BLISS

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

14A

Dear Cecil, I was making fun of a colleague at work who has recently returned to smoking cancer sticks. His retort was, “Yeah, well, tall people die younger.” Since I’m about 6'7'', this hit me right in the heart — which I suspect is the organ at fault. Is his claim true?

Tom Slattery, via email You actually acknowledge the possibility this shrimp may be right? Some might call that a very untall attitude.

The classic short-guy’s-nightmare response would be more like: Look, little man (that’s how 6'2" George H.W. Bush once referred to 5'10" Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega), everybody knows tall people, particularly tall men, are not only healthier, they’re more successful, smarter, sexier and more widely looked up to (duh, but you see how heightist bias is embedded in the language).

Setting aside issues of success, getting lucky, etc., experts — even short ones — have long recognized that as a society’s physical well-being improves due to improved nutrition and so on, its members get taller.

Over the past 150 years, the average height of Europeans has increased by around eight inches; more recently the average height of the Chinese has been increasing about an inch per decade.

Conversely, research on refugees has found that 14year-old North Korean males are six inches shorter than their South Korean counterparts, presumably due to malnutrition. At minimum this seems to mean: tall = healthy society. Many researchers have gone farther and claimed: tall = healthy you. However, this being an era of diminishing resources, a few iconoclasts argue (possibly in earshot of your coworker) that not only is small beautiful, it’s better for you and the planet, too.

One of the most vocal short-is-good advocates is Thomas Samaras, director and senior researcher at San Diego-based Reventropy Associates. Samaras advocates what he calls “entropy theory,” which holds that increased body mass and energy expenditure means faster aging. Over the past 30 years Samaras and his colleagues have published a stack of papers challenging heightist

wisdom. For example, they say, studies allegedly showing that tall people live longer than short ones don’t account for confounding variables such as socioeconomic status and smoking (poor people and smokers tend to be smaller). Factor stuff like that out, they contend, and the differences largely disappear.

In fact, maybe the numbers head in the opposite direction — Samaras and company interpret other studies as indicating that you die six months sooner for every extra centimeter of height. Throw in the fact that big people suck up more resources than diminutive ones and you’ve got a good argument that what we really need to do, as Steve Martin once encouraged, is get small.

To emphasize, this is the minority opinion. In a 2002 commentary on one of Samaras’ papers, British epidemiologist George Davey Smith, who’s done his own investigations into the relation between height and mortality, presents what I take to be the majority view: (1) In developed countries, taller people live longer than shorter ones and have lower death rates when all causes are considered. (2) Taller people exhibit higher death rates from a few specific causes, notably cancer unrelated to smoking and aortic aneurysm. Possibly that’s because bigger people eat more as children and so are at greater risk for eating-related cancers, and, having longer aortas, have more to rupture. (3) This is more than made up for by taller people’s decreased tendency to die of coronary heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease. Davey Smith thinks that’s because tall people have better lung function and because “being taller than average is an indicator of favorable childhood social circumstances.”

Short folks will likely reply: This guy’s missing the point. Nobody denies that, when you compare two societies, or one society at two points in time, the better-fed crowd will be taller and live longer. The issue is whether, with environmental considerations out of the mix, taller means healthier. You have to be skeptical — lots of short, middle-class people aren’t that way because of deprived childhoods but because they had short ancestors. One suspects Samaras may be right when he says all the variables aren’t being controlled for.

On the other hand, Samaras’ contention that short is not just as good as but better than tall is also dubious.

Rodent studies suggest that sharply cutting back on food intake will prolong life, and few dispute that pigging out in typical American fashion is a sure way to shorten it.

However, the key factor here is surely not height (Samaras at times seems to be saying that we ought to starve kids in order to stunt their growth, although he tells me that’s not his intent), but weight in relation to height. Since there’s not much adults can do about their height anyway, why worry about it? Pending further and, one hopes, more illuminating research, the best bet for prolonging life seems to be: Watch what you eat, and eat a lot less.

<POEM>

Song Fool In 1966, the Womenfolk required me to pull off into a muddy ditch beside a two-lane near Mainz, Germany, to hear them finish Are You Going Away With No Word of Farewell.

The Kingston Trio’s The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face caused me to hum off key so passionately into the scented ear of Kathy Gilbert that we fell into something we thought was telling us to get married before we realized we hated each other.

Jerry Lee’s Whole Lotta Shaking gave me fantasies about my younger cousin, Elvis’s Heartbreak Hotel at Kay Barnett’s thirteenth birthday party made me want to grab my crotch and twitch, and anytime Ray Charles does I Don’t Need No Doctor, I can’t be responsible for what my body does out in public.

Nowadays it’s Grace Potter’s Somebody Fix Me, Ani DiFranco’s Little Plastic Castles, Steve Earle’s Copperhead Road, or Bonnie Raitt’s Guilty, and guilty is exactly what I am. Apologies to all you dear songs I’ve danced to alone in my living room at twilight or sung along with in my car, dashboard lighting me up like a tone-deaf back-up singer. Can’t stop myself. It’s just love that makes me treat you the way I do.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

All Clear

B IMAGE Jordan Silverman

NAME JOB LOCATION

reakfast at Penny Cluse has become a Burlington institution. Maybe not on par with having a cone at Ben & Jerry’s, but close. Locals and tourists alike pack the Cherry Street restaurant each weekend, waiting an hour or more for biscuits and herb cream gravy. Even celebrities like Molly Ringwald and Ani DiFranco have been known to stop by.

All that activity puts a lot of pressure on the staff — not just the servers who take the orders and the cooks who prepare them, but also the bussers who are responsible for cleaning it all up. On busy days they’re constantly in motion, from the time they arrive at 8:30 a.m. until the restaurant closes at 3 p.m.

Twenty-five-year-old Rebecca Van Dyke doesn’t mind the fast pace; she enjoys being a part of what she calls “a finely tuned machine.” The Lynchburg, Virginia, native has a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Virginia and, like many Penny Rebecca Van Dyke Cluse staffers, she’s an artist. When she’s not Busser at Penny Cluse Café clearing tables, Van Dyke dabbles in freeBurlington lance film production. Right now she’s working on a short film about food, and has a gig as camera assistant for a CBS profile of local “Survivor” star Kathy O’Brien. Van Dyke moved to Burlington in 2002 and began working at Penny Cluse last August.

SEVEN DAYS: Did you always want to be a busser, all your life?

REBECCA VAN DYKE: Ever since I . . . no, just kidding.

SD: Do you find it interesting?

RVD: I guess it is interesting.

Because the work is always the same, I don’t have to think a lot. I spend a lot of my time observing people. And then with my co-workers, the conversation is always really interesting.

SD: What do you talk about?

RVD: Music. Books. Customers. We throw out ideas. Like the other day some woman walked in and stole our plunger. She just came in, used the bathroom, took our plunger, stuck it in her bag, and left. We saw her walking, and she darted inside Brooks [Pharmacy] after walking halfway across the parking lot. So I decided that that needs to go in some movie.

SD: Bussers, unlike servers, get to be close to customers but don’t have to talk to them; you get to be kind of invisible. Do you eavesdrop on conversations?

RVD: I sometimes do. I try not to eavesdrop too much, and when I do, it’s unintentional.

SD: But you do, occasionally?

RVD: Yeah, occasionally. I hear things . . . One half of a couple will be in tears. You can’t help but wonder what’s happening in their life, and why they’re still coming in.

I’ve watched a couple people leave abruptly. Sometimes it seems really traumatic — it doesn’t happen regularly. And, you know, families, where brothers and sisters are fighting, and then the whole family starts fighting, and then it’s, like, awkward silence.

Those ones I steer clear of, usually.

I like interacting with people, but there’s no pressure as a busser. If the underage kid wants to drink, I don’t have to deal with it. I just get to laugh at him for trying.

SD: Would you describe it as a pretty physically demanding job?

RVD: Oh, yeah. Carrying heavy bus tubs full of dishes — those ceramic dishes, those are heavy-duty. And full water glasses. I’m going down flights of stairs with full bus tubs. That’s a lot of stress on my feet. By the end of the day, the only thing I want to do is collapse. And I usually have to walk home or ride my bike.

SD: When it’s busy there, you have to turn those tables over really quickly. Do you have any systems you’ve developed to increase efficiency?

RVD: What makes it most efficient is when I’m working with another busser and a hostess, and the three of us can kind of communicate across the restaurant. I also keep a really broad perspective on the restaurant.

Even knowing who’s paying, who has checks, who’s just hanging out. Once you see some kind of motion, you communicate with the other busser and the hostess, and you all kind of attack at once. So it’s a strategy.

SD: How do you communicate?

It’s happening so fast. You don’t have time to say, “Hey, come here, let’s talk about the table.”

RVD: It’s like sign language. We have made-up signs. Like “table,” making a T sign with your hand, then the number of the table, you hold up that many fingers. And then if they need a high chair — Abby, when she was there, she would make fists with her hands, and hold them up over her head, then bring them back down to the side of her body. And then there’s the baby sign [pretends to hold a baby].

But really, all I have to do is look at them. If I’m waiting, kind of looking at the hostess, that means, “How many people are sitting at this table?”

SD: What are the things you wish diners would do?

RVD: Not leave their used tissues on the table. I wish people would drink their water, because I really hate when all this water goes to waste, and I have to carry it away from the table again.

Sometimes, if I don’t think about it, it’s fine, but if I think about it, it’s like, I must handle I don’t know how many napkin wads a day. Hundreds, probably. And I just hope — probably I do it unconsciously — that I wash my hands before I eat and don’t touch my mouth. But I probably don’t every time.

SD: Do you take pride in your work?

RVD: Yeah, I guess so. I don’t know if I would feel the same working at another restaurant, but being a busser at Penny Cluse, I feel really important. In order to achieve the desired pace — which is fast — I’ve gotta do my part.

I guess I also take pride in neatness. Having the table wiped properly. And not having maple syrup and sticky stuff all over the place. Having the condiments arranged. This sounds really stupid, but having the condiments all kind of arranged with the maple syrup and the cream on either side, and the salt and peppers in front — I like to have it look nice.

And especially at the counter. It’s important to me to have symmetry, because I just like it. When it looks nice, and when it’s clean, that means I’ve succeeded. m

common people are behind her on this one. She’s a new figure on the state’s political stage. People are just getting to know her. And, like Joan of Arc, Speaker Gaye is determined to let her actions speak louder than her words.

“I don’t think it’s enough,” said Mama Gaye at the Oasis Diner counter Monday, “for us to simply study the solution.

Vermonters want us to address the cost of health care. They have had it,” she added with her voice rising, “with politicians laying out nice-sounding principles and then backing away!”

H. 524, said Symington “sets out a reasonable goal and a reasonable way of getting there, and brings people to the table to say, ‘What do you think?’”

Symington, along with Rep. Tracy and Sen. Welch, chose Burlington’s Oasis Diner as the location for their first press event to promote the bill.

Owners David and Jon Lines are small-business owners who wish they could afford health insurance for their employees. In fact, they said, they can’t even afford it for themselves!

The Oasis has long been a hometown Democratic hangout.

About 35 years ago, State’s Attorney Pat Leahy was a regular. He still is when he’s in town.

In fact, Sen. Leahy regularly uses the Oasis as a backdrop for his campaign commercials.

We’ll see if the diner luck works for health-care reform the way it has for St. Patrick.

Other Opponents? — We know the Guv and most Republicans don’t like the Democratic plan, but it was surprising to get the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems’ take on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me” last Sunday.

For some strange reason, however, newsmen Marselis Parsons and Anson Tebbetts never even brought up H. 524 until the last five minutes of the program.

Yes, said President Bea Grause, the association does officially “oppose” the bill in its current form. But Grause and Rutland Hospital President Tom Huebner went out of their way to express support for Symington’s attempt to fix what all agree is a broken system.

“The bill in the House this week, we really think has a lot of good in it,” said Huebner.

Symington and Tracy “have tried to be very thoughtful about creating a debate in Vermont about where the health-care system should go,” he added. “We really think that’s the right thing to have happen. There are pieces of the bill that we think are great.

There are pieces of the bill that are moving awfully fast.”

Vermont hospitals, said Grause, consider the Democrat attempt to “start a public process and a conversation” on our health-care future “critically important.”

“We have committed to Speaker Symington and John Tracy that we will be constructive in that conversation and we intend to be. So, I’m not worried so much about the legislative details. I think the bill’s going to pass as it is, and we’ll see what happens in the Senate.”

SEVEN DAYS | april 20-27, 2005

The Douglas administration, however, isn’t interested in being constructive. The host of releases this week from Douglas cabinet members trashing H. 524 are proof positive the administration’s goal is to be as destructive as possible.

The battle royale has begun.

Exclusive Report! — White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card was in Burlington for a wellattended GOP fundraiser Friday night at the Wyndham Hotel.

About 400 Republicans shelled out $125 a ticket to attend the dinner. About 150 shelled out a lot more to attend a more personal, pre-dinner get-together with Mr. Card.

You may not have heard about it, because none of Vermont’s mainstream press covered the event. Not even WGOP-TV sent a crew.

Very, very strange.

Certainly, GOP Chairman Jim Barnett did not try to draw a lot of attention. Card was not available for questions.

We did attend, however. Wore a nice jacket and tie, too. But that did not prevent Mr. Barnett from quickly escorting yours truly out of the high-roller event the minute he spotted us.

Incidentally, yours truly didn’t set out to crash the Republican party. Mad Dog had told us earlier it would be closed to media.

But so many friendly attendees, including administration officials, urged us to join them that we finally asked permission from the ticket-takers at the door and they consented.

Chairman Barnett, however, did not show “journalist” James Dwinell the door. A former executive director of the Vermont GOP, Dwinell puts out an almostweekly online crib sheet expressing his political whims and fancies.

Hey, it’s a free country. In fact, a few years back yours truly stood up for Sir James when Gov. Howard Dean questioned his credentials at a gubernatorial press conference. More on James later.

Upstairs, guests were getting their photos snapped with Card for $2000 a picture.

Barnett opened the main event by picking on Peter Clavelle.

The Burlington mayor, he told the faithful, “crisscrossed the state attacking the president, and it’s funny because President Bush didn’t have one bad word to say about Peter Clavelle.”

Barnett also mocked the Democrat health-care plan, as did Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie and Gov. Douglas who followed him.

Mad Dog described the Democrat message as “Pay more.

Get less. Take a ticket and wait in line.”

Dubie portrayed the political moment as one reminiscent of the civil-unions battle of 2000 when the radical left was “descending on the Statehouse, flying in from all over the country, and using our state as a guinea pig once again.”

Douglas gave his usual condemnation soundbite. But before that, the very first words out of our governor’s mouth were praise for the “outstanding job” being done by young Karl Rove of Vermont — Jim Barnett.

“He’s working so hard, so effectively to strengthen the

Republican Party to get ready for the campaign next year. Jim, thank you for your leadership,” said Douglas.

“And it’s always a great thrill,” he continued, “to look around this room and see so many million dollars, uh, I mean faces!”

Card gave the keynote. He described the GOP as “the party that spreads freedom.” Thanks to Dubya, he boasted, Afghani women can now “show their faces and their ankles.”

Will miniskirts be next?

Interesting that here at home the only specific “freedom” Card mentioned was “freedom of ownership.”

It was a plug for the bankrupt Bush Social Security plan, a nonstarter guaranteed to give Americans the freedom to be destitute when they retire.

Card closed with a slow, sanctimonious tale about the “most memorable day of my life.” It sounded like a sermon he had delivered many times before to similar gatherings of true believers.

Andy’s “most memorable day” was September 14, 2001, when Bush “prayed” with his cabinet, “prayed” with Rev. Billy Graham, and “prayed” with the families of those missing at Ground Zero.

Did you know President Bush begins every cabinet meeting with a prayer?

No doubt, there’s evidence praying works.

After all, our president’s prayer that the American people do not wake up and hold him accountable for the 9/11 attacks has, so far, been answered.

So far, no one has been held accountable for the greatest security lapse in American history.

A miracle!

EARTH DAY AT ECHO!

LAKE AQUARIUM AND SCIENCE CENTER Slime Time — It’s no secret Republicans want to get even with Independent Sen. Jim Jeffords for exiting the GOP back in 2001.

Chairman Barnett has used Jeezum Jim the “Turncoat” as a fundraising vehicle.

Fair game.

But the recent rumor campaign that questions the senator’s physical and mental health is beyond the pale.

James Dwinell’s latest edition makes the outrageous claim that Sen. Jeffords has Alzheimer’s.

Rumors travel fast. The slimier the rumor, the faster it travels.

Jeffords spokeswoman Diane Derby was not eager to dignify Dwinell’s dirt. But we had to ask.

Does Jeezum have Alzheimer’s?

“No,” was the emphatic answer.

As for his health, Derby told us Jeffords “is under the care of the Attending Physician, Congress of the United States, for medical conditions, none of which is extraordinary for anyone his age.”

We concur. Jeffords at 70 is the same dude he was in 1980 when we first met. He always was a little quirky.

And what about Dwinell?

“Dwinell’s lack of respect is only matched by his lack of integrity,” replied Derby. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

The OWLs are wise to aging women’s issues

T

he nine gray-haired women gathered at the Windjammer Restaurant in South Burlington on a recent Saturday afternoon look harmless enough. A casual observer might mistake them for members of a bridge club, meeting for their STORY weekly luncheon — until they sit down and CATHY start talking politics.

RESMER These women, who range in age from their early sixties to mid-eighties, belong to IMAGE the Green Mountain Chapter of the Older MATTHEW Women’s League. They call themselves THORSEN OWLs, though you’d have to be really cheeky to refer to them as wise old birds.

They’ve lobbied and petitioned the Vermont Legislature on everything from campaignfinance reform to universal health-care coverage to medical marijuana — in support of all three.

Not surprisingly, the women often focus on health care. Their April newsletter includes an article entitled “Healthcare Hardball — Single Payer Slimed” (just above an article called “Keeping Track of the Ol’ Influence Peddlers at the State House”). It describes a debate between Dr. Deb Richter of Vermont Healthcare for All and Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian psychiatrist who points out flaws in his country’s single-payer system.

“I’ve been thinking of him in my own mind as a heartless pipsqueak,” quips OWL’s co-president, 63-year-old Marjorie Power, during the meeting. “He’s like a younger Dinesh D’Souza. If you Google him, you find that he’s written for nearly every rightwing publication. He’s been hired to sell their predetermined snake oil.”

Power’s colorful rant draws smiles, nods and a few appreciative chuckles, proof that these OWLs — some of them born scant years after women won the right to vote, and well before Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique — are sharp, opinionated and not afraid to get political.

Despite its members’ mostly antiRepublican bias, OWL is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit — a nonpartisan group that unapologetically advocates for issues important to midlife and older women. The organization was founded in 1980, following a conference on older women in Des Moines, Iowa.

The women are active in health-care and economic policy debates. In 1983, for example, the national organization ran ads promoting equity in Social Security. “For men, they created retirement plans, medical benefits, profit sharing and gold watches,” it read. “For women, they created Mother’s Day!” Although OWL maintains a national presence, it’s really a chapter-based organization; according to their website, there are 58 groups in 28 states. Dues in Vermont are $30 a year. According to Powell, the Vermont chapter has about 70 members, though it’s sometimes difficult to tell exactly how many there are. “We have attrition, being older,” the Montpelier resident admits.

She adds that there’s no minimum age requirement. “We ask women, ‘Are you older today than you were yesterday?’ If you said yes, then you can join.”

Power says the OWLs frequently trek to the Statehouse to testify at public hearings.

They garnered some attention during the medical-marijuana debate — women using walkers and canes aren’t exactly stereotypical potheads. Power explained that the group was motivated to work on the issue because one of their members died of leukemia and would have used marijuana had it been legal. Another got pot for her sick husband.

The bill’s lead co-sponsor, Representative David Zuckerman (P-Burlington), says their testimony helped the bill become law. “Of course they’re effective,” he says. “Who doesn’t listen to their grandmother?”

Of course, not everyone appreciates the OWLs’ outspoken approach. While they’re meeting at the Windjammer, another large group sits in the restaurant’s back room. They look like a family party — an older couple with their kids and grandkids. They give the OWLs more than a few dirty looks — though it’s hard to tell whether that’s because of their politics or their volume.

The women invite a speaker to each of their meetings — Zuckerman has addressed them in the past, as has Terry Rowe, former superintendent of the Dale Correctional Facility for women.

This Saturday’s guest is newly elected State Representative Michele Kupersmith. The 52-year-old South

chester, Vermont, has a degree in education from Trinity College. A pro-choice Catholic Democrat, in 1992 she lost her bid for a fifth term to a Republican who promised to work for a parental-notification law. “I said, ‘Over my dead body will you get that through,’” she remarks after the meeting.

Kehaya still pays close attention to politics — she just finished reading Barack Obama’s autobiography.

When Kupersmith speaks about her efforts to fight outsourcing by funding local training for medical transcriptionists, Kehaya nods her approval. “Oh, wonderful,” she mutters.

Kupersmith concludes her presentation with an update on the health-care debate. She says

“There will be no treasurer’s report and no secretary’s report,” she announces. “The secretary and other members have their veterans’ meetings on the third Saturday” — several OWLs were WACs during World War II — “and the few that are in nursing homes have their meetings on the third Saturday.”

Power also reminds the women that she has petitions to protest the President’s Social Security privatization plan. Groups such as OWL have no doubt played a part in shifting public opinion against Bush’s proposal for what he calls “personal retirement accounts.”

The OWLs then vote to join forces with the Vermont chapter of the Alliance for Retired

Women using walkers and canes aren’t exactly stereotypical potheads.

Burlington Democrat beat conservative Republican incumbent Frank Mazur last fall.

Kupersmith speaks to the women about her circuitous path to public office; she worked as a lawyer, and for years chose jobs that gave her flexibility to raise her kids. “That’s something you all know,” she says. The women smile.

Many of them, like the state rep, have juggled kids and careers.

In fact, two of them have something else in common with Kupersmith — tenure in the Statehouse. Barbara Kehaya of Winooski served four terms in the legislature, and Sally Conrad of Burlington served four terms in the state senate.

Kehaya, an 83-year-old mother of six, grandmother of 15 and great-grandmother of five, was the first female legislator to represent Winooski. The native of Man-

she’s frustrated by the governor’s promise to veto a bill being drafted by the legislature, and his continued talk of health savings accounts and increasing competition among private insurers.

Power is frustrated, too. “It reminds me of that jocular definition of insanity,” she observes, “which is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That’s the governor’s health-care proposal.” But the legislator seems optimistic that things will change during this session.

When Kupersmith finishes, OWL co-president Roberta Strauss, sporting a brightly colored, handmade owl pin over her white cardigan, rises to ask for a round of applause for the female freshman. Her audience obliges.

Then the OWLs launch into their regular agenda. Power suggests they change the meeting day.

Americans, who are putting on a Save Social Security event May 3.

When the official meeting ends, the women eat lunch and talk.

They share information on nursing-home care; Conrad, who took care of her elderly mother, advises another woman who is planning for her own move. Then they take turns bashing Bush and lamenting the current state of the world.

As she finishes her salad, Kupersmith describes the women as “feisty.” “I really appreciate the voice they bring to the issues,” she says. “They’re not afraid to take very strong positions.”

At the other end of the table, Conrad, Kehaya and others discuss proposed cuts to Medicare, and that sets off a round of disapproving headshakes and tongueclucking. “I hope people raise a ruckus,” Conrad says. 쩾

hy would anyone create a stage adaptation of The Breakfast Club? Co-director Shawn Lipenski jokes the decision came after drinking rather too much whiskey. But his fellow director Seth Jarvis notes there were sensible reasons to transform John Hughes’ 1985 teen film fave for live actors: It basically came down to “the unity of space and time that are similar to theater,” he says. In other words, because a movie that is set almost entirely in one room — a high school library — is relatively easy to realize on stage.

Easier, at least, than Hughes’ other flicks of the same era, such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Sixteen Candles.

Lipenski and Jarvis were more attracted to The Breakfast Club, too, because of its compelling characters and the absence of a moralistic “comeuppance” inherent in many teen films. When their stage version plays at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this weekend, many in the audience are likely to be fellow “Gen-Xers” for

whom The Breakfast Club is a beloved icon of their youth.

The movie tells the story of a diverse group of high school misfits who are sharing Saturday detention because of minor school-day infractions. Over the course of the day, they talk through social barriers that ordinarily keep them apart. New alliances are born, though not without substantial pain first. And lines like “Don’t mess with the bull, young man, you’ll get the horns” and “Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?” made the film an instant teen classic, its dialogue becoming clichés in pop culture. “For a good six to eight years after its release,” says Jarvis, “the film was a staple of weekend retreats and slumber parties.”

The Breakfast Club legitimized the “Brat Pack” by featuring actors Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall. And to the extent young viewers related to its characters, the movie also legitimized for that

generation the struggle to work through insecurity and angst, to find oneself and make sense of one’s place in society. In other words, it addressed being a teenager in America — at least a white one.

Lipenski and Jarvis are friends who until recently worked together at Burlington’s Waterfront Video, and who both had roles in a local indie film that was featured in the Vermont International Film Festival last fall. Both are also known around town for their stage work, as an actor and slam poet, respectively. And both are hovering at around age 30.

With The Breakfast Club, Lipenski and Jarvis found another way to collaborate.

And when they vetted the idea to other members of their artistic community, the response was “overwhelmingly enthusiastic,” says Jarvis, noting that as people heard about the project, many asked how they could get involved.

Nearly 20 years after the original release of the film, Lipenski and Jarvis believe the issues raised in The Breakfast Club are still relevant. And yet Jarvis has faith that this remove from the 1980s will give their production some healthy perspective. “People can relate to these characters even if they weren’t the prom queen or geek,” he suggests.

The ensemble of local actors and musicians apparently feels the same way. “People keep coming up to me saying, ‘I was that character [in high school],” says Andy Krackow, referring to her role as the “basketcase” Allison, played by Sheedy on film. Fellow actor Eric Olsen, playing the delinquent Bender, suggests the character originally portrayed by Judd Nelson “was one in a long string of very bad role models.”

Of course, the actors in this adaptation can’t help but think about having to live up to the >> 26A

m standing outside the Champlain College Alumni Auditorium early on a Saturday morning, taking alternate hits off a cigarette and a latte while practicing my yoga breathing for inner poise. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m waiting for my turn to audition for a local stage production of The Breakfast Club. Somehow, this once seemed like a good idea. Waiting in the cold, it feels like a very bad idea. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a corner dweller, an eye-contact avoider. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even like to play Charades. I take neither direction nor criticism well. And I know nothing about acting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless you count pretending to be someone else on the phone when bill collectors call.

In short, I have no business seeking the spotlight.

So why am I torturing myself like this? Well, because every once in a while I like to challenge myself, to do something I had never imagined doing before. Also, I know the directors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shawn Lipenski and Seth Jarvis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and figured it would be fun to work with them. Not least, I like the film. A lot. Released in 1985, when I was 9, The Breakfast Club helped remind the world that, contrary to popular adult opinion, teenagers have souls.

Watching an edited-for-TV version with my junior-high friends in a New Jersey suburb, I wanted to grow up fast and play by my own rules â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something these characters seemed, at the time, to have down. My friends and I were just figuring out who we were, which stereotype we would fit into as we navigated our way into adolescence and beyond.

We each identified with at least one of these characters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the brain, the jock, the freak, the princess, the criminal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but what really struck us was that these characters mattered. Therefore, maybe we did, too. Besides, it was reassuring that these kids were all huge balls of insecurity and angst. Just like me.

Twelve people show up for the first audition, trying out for only seven parts. With yet another audition coming up, the competition feels fierce.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of talent here: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a number of my fellow hopefuls perform in both theater and films. Of course, since this is Burlington, my favorite waitress and the guy who makes my coffee are here as well.

First weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re herded onto the stage to play a couple of games to loosen our acting muscles. We pretend to be students at a high school dance in different groups â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jocks, drama geeks, stoners, Goths, hip-hop kids.

By coincidence, this audition is just days after my

movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to break away [from the film], but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to imitate it,â&#x20AC;? says Krackow. Olsen wonders whether their portrayals will provoke audience participation, Ă la camp classic Rocky Horror Picture Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a couple of dreams about forgetting lines, but the audience yells the line to me to keep me in step,â&#x20AC;? he confesses.

Chances are, the camaraderie of this cast and crew will help get them through any potential curveballs. Says Krackow, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all comfortable being crazy together.â&#x20AC;?

Those with a close attachment to the original Breakfast Club shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about the stage version losing its iconic punch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the movie numerous times to keep a running list,â&#x20AC;? says Lipenski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many recognizable

moments.â&#x20AC;? Even so, this production obviously cannot copy the film exactly. The majority of the action still occurs in the library, but the text has been altered slightly to accommodate the limitations of a stage set. In any case, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;adaptationâ&#x20AC;? has leeway to make changes as needed. As actor Krackow points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Hughes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Shakespeare.â&#x20AC;?

One bold departure is the music: The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable soundtrack has been dropped â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except for the final song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t You Forget About Meâ&#x20AC;? by Simple Minds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in favor of original music composed by Amanda Gustafson. This will be performed by The Physics Club, comprising Gustafson, Adam Wood and Jeremy Frederick.

According to Lipenski, Gustafsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compositions, utilizing three keyboards and a drum machine, are â&#x20AC;&#x153;as â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s as you can get.â&#x20AC;?

SEVEN DAYS | april 20-27, 2005 | feature 27A own 10-year high school reunion, so I feel strangely prepared, as if all the time spent revisiting my yearbook had been a rehearsal. The games are relaxing and funny. Eventually we’re sent out of the room to wait our turns. Lipenski advises, “Don’t try to play the actor playing the part. Just play the part.” Right.

I don’t really feel that nervous when I’m called in, perhaps due to the Tension Tamer tea I’d drunk (before the coffee), a dab of lavender oil on the temples, and my assumption that I won’t get the part.

Don’t get me wrong; I want it. Allison — played by Ally Sheedy in the movie — is the freak, a neurotic, compulsive liar with a tendency to fall for jocks.

How could she not be my hero? And, I realize to my surprise, I do want the opportunity to emote in front of — say it! — an audience. Maybe I’m secretly as much of an exhibitionist as the next gal.

First we read in a group. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but I try, my “acting” informed only by my lingering case of teen trauma. The reading is fast-paced and intense, with moments of rage and humor. It’s only a couple of pages, and we read through them twice.

Some of the actors respond differently each time.

because I’m not sure if you’re supposed to at an audition. When my performance is over I feel pretty good about it, although that might be the result of the Xanax I had bummed off my roommate — before the Tension Tamer and the latte.

A few days later, I get a call-back. I’m surprised and pleased, as if I have already accomplished something. Yet the second audition proves a bit anticlimactic. Though we’re assured some cuts have been made, nearly as many people show up as had been at the first one. I’m given the same scenes to read and plough through them pretty much the same way. I still don’t cry, opting instead to look really, really sad.

Afterwards, a friend informs me, “Yes, you’re supposed to cry. How else are they supposed to know you can deliver the goods?” Oh. With the right cast, Jarvis says, the job of director is half done. He “looks to see if the actor can portray the primary characteristics of that character; whether they have those qualities naturally or can act them. I always look to see if they can respond to me and other actors.”

I wonder if I am really up to the task. Not only do I doubt my acting ability, I’m not sure I could

By coincidence, this audition is just days after my own 10-year high school reunion, so I feel strangely prepared, as if all the time spent revisiting my yearbook had been a rehearsal.

While we wait in the no-frills lobby for our second reading — this one in pairs — I learn that most everyone has auditioned before. And each person has a different take on the process. One girl admits to having “audition anxiety” and hyperventilating on her way over here. Another veteran says she hates being judged. An actor friend tells me about auditioning in New York, where you can “make or break” on a mere 16 bars of a song. Here, at least, there are no prepared monologues, and everyone is friendly.

When asked if I’ve auditioned before I say no, but that’s really a lie. In fifth grade, I auditioned for a student-written and -produced opera. I didn’t get the part. Even though I’m certain that brutal moment of rejection was less traumatizing than singing in front of the whole school would have been, I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if I had gotten the part. I might be making millions in Hollywood right now!

When we’re called in for paired readings, I’m partnered with a local barista who’s trying out for the part of Andy, the jock — referred to as “Sporto” by the directors. The scene is intimate and emotional, with both characters practically bursting at the seams. The script calls for tears at one point, but I don’t cry

Another fun twist following Saturday’s performance is “Prom Night.” Showcase Lounge will switch from theater to high school gym — 1980s-style, of course.

There will be “official” prom photos and prizes including ones for Best and Worst Dressed. And a prom King & Queen — or Queen & Queen, or King & King —

appear in front of a live audience without fainting.

On the one hand, I relate to the character of Allison so well that I envision simply channeling parts of my own personality — “acting” would be unnecessary.

Maybe playing the role would even help me exorcise my inner 16-year-old.

“The other crucial trick in casting correctly is choosing not just the right actor, but the right mix of actors,” Jarvis continues. “When you do that, physical attributes come more into play, because you don’t want a cast with all the same height and hair color.”

Great. Not only do I have to compete for the role, I have to look just right, too. This is starting to sound a lot like high school.

After the call-back, the directors promise to be in touch soon. A few days later, Jarvis calls. He regrets to tell me that I didn’t get the part. He tries to comfort me with the old joke: “How many actors does it take to change a light bulb? One hundred — one to change it and 99 to sit there and say, ‘I could have done that better.’”

It’s OK that I’m not going to spend four months of my life being Allison. I’m not a teenager anymore, and I don’t need an audience to remember why I’m glad about that. Instead, I can just pull out that yearbook and have a good laugh.쩾

28A | april 20-27, 2005 | SEVEN DAYS

It was almost exactly a year ago when members of the House Health and Welfare Committee gathered in a crowded hearing room in Montpelier to debate the pros and cons of legalizing medical marijuana. Lawmakers spent a week listening to dead-serious testimonials about chronically ill Vermonters of all ages and political persuasions who use cannabis to relieve the symptoms of their persistent and intractable medical conditions.

Opponents of the bill — primarily drugenforcement agents — issued dire warnings that state-sanctioned medical marijuana would open the door to out-of-state gangs, organized crime, large-scale drug trafficking, elder fraud and even deadly turf battles between rival drug dealers.

Offsetting the long hours of sobering testimony were a few lighter moments.

During the breaks, committee members occasionally joked about pot-laced brownies and passing around joints of the “wacky tobaccy” to see what “the buzz” was all about. No one raised an eyebrow at these candid moments of silliness, though they revealed what even the most straightlaced representatives in the room knew about pot’s mellow nature. It’s hard to imagine those same politicians spending a week discussing Vermont’s problems with heroin and cocaine addiction, and then giggling over lunch about shooting smack or snorting lines.

And therein lies a fundamental truth about Vermont’s dazed and confused approach to marijuana: On the one hand, many politicians, judges, doctors and police officers concede privately that the personal and societal harms caused by pot are modest compared to the effects of other illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, and tobacco, alco-

hol and other legal substances. Moreover, most acknowledge that efforts to eradicate weed from the Green Mountain State have been a costly and abysmal failure. On the other hand, few policymakers have been willing to put forward a serious alternative to pot criminalization out of fear of being labeled “soft on drugs.”

Until recently, that is. Last month, Representatives Winston Dowland (PDerby Line) and David Deen (DWestminster) introduced legislation to end Vermont’s 90-year-old prohibition on pot. The bill, H.390, would establish a

Vermont’s recreational pot smokers should hold off on the celebratory bong hits for the time being, however. Even the bill’s sponsors readily admit that with heavyweight issues such as Medicaid on the legislative plate, marijuana legalization isn’t exactly a smoking issue among lawmakers. In fact, no one really expects this bill to make it out of committee. But as the initiative’s lead sponsor explains, that’s not the point. Dowland believes it’s high time Vermonters began an honest dialogue about the true costs of marijuana prohibition.

I had a Border Patrol guy come up to me the other day in the Northeast Kingdom and say, “Thanks! We’re wasting so much time with mere possession that it’s ridiculous.”

REPRESENTATIVE WINSTON DOWLAND

system for taxing and regulating the growth, sale and distribution of marijuana. The bill calls for removing the criminal and civil penalties for possession, in nonpublic places, of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for adults over the age of 21. It would increase the penalties for selling dope to minors. The bill would also dedicate one half of the revenues raised by the taxes and licensure on ganja dealers to the prevention and treatment of drug, tobacco and alcohol use.

“We need to open up the discussion and find out what we’re doing wrong, because what we’re doing now isn’t working,” Dowland asserts. “Everybody wants to talk about it, but nobody wants to put their name on a bill.”

The Progressive lawmaker from the Northeast Kingdom isn’t some dreadlocked, pot-smoking Phishhead. Dowland, 62, is a retired mail carrier and welder who sports a gray crewcut — a vestige of his years in the Navy and five

tours of duty in Vietnam. He now works with high school students enrolled in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps and is an ardent opponent of pot smoking, especially among kids. But after talking with Vermont’s drug-war veterans, Dowland believes that marijuana interdiction is a lousy use of law-enforcement personnel, time and resources.

“I had a Border Patrol guy come up to me the other day in the Northeast Kingdom and say, ‘Thanks! We’re wasting so much time with mere possession that it’s ridiculous,’” Dowland notes. “‘We have to waste time stopping somebody with a pipe in his pocket. What the hell is that?’”

It’s tough to argue that Vermont’s campaign to stem the dope trade has been remotely effective. At least once a month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Burlington issues a press release about a plea deal or conviction for a large-scale marijuana growing or smuggling operation. Just last week, for example, 49-year-old Harry T. Nuckols of Victory pled guilty to cultivating more than 100 marijuana plants, as well as to possession of firearms and $35,000 in cash. Nuckols faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison on the cultivation charge alone.

A month earlier, Christopher Tetrault, 34, of Essex Junction, and Eric Veys, 34, of Eastman, Quebec, were sentenced for smuggling more than 100 kilos of pot across the U.S./Canada border. They, too, were in possession of firearms and large amounts of cash. Veys, the operation’s ringleader, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Marijuana busts like these rarely make the news anymore unless violence ensues — as in June 2003, when a pot smuggler trying to evade arrest on Interstate 91 ran down and killed Vermont State Police Sgt.

SEVEN DAYS | april 20-27, 2005 | feature 29A

Michael Johnson — or if the quantities seized are unusually large. No one knows for sure how much weed is grown in Vermont or is smuggled across its borders. The state’s Marijuana Eradication Resource Team reports that the state police seize about $15 million worth of plants and processed pot each year. But if Vermont’s seizure rates are consistent with national trends, that amount could represent less than 20 percent of the total marijuana being consumed in the state.

In 2002, the National Drug Intelligence Center reported that the value of Vermont’s marijuana crop rivaled the state’s legal agricultural output. Three years later, it’s a safe bet that cannabis now ranks among the largest cash crops in the Green Mountain State.

Despite the most diligent efforts of state and federal drug-enforcement agents, marijuana remains Vermonters’ most popular and easily accessible illegal drug. In 2001, the Office of National Drug Control Policy reported that the cost of pot in Vermont ranged from $180 to $250 an ounce, a price that has remained fairly constant over the last decade. Among Department of Corrections inmates, marijuana is far and away the preferred drug of choice — and a leading cause of probation and parole violations. The 2000-’01 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse found that about 28 percent of Vermonters of all ages describe themselves as at “great risk” of smoking marijuana at least once a month — a rate that’s among the highest in the nation.

The prevalence of pot smoking among Vermont teens is even greater.

The 2003 Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that one in four students in eighth through twelfth grades reported that they’d puffed herb in the previous 30 days; nearly nine in 10 said that it’s easy for them to score a bag. And while the latest numbers seem to show that fewer Vermont youngsters are hitting the pipe, it’s also true that the older they get, the more tolerant and accepting they are of pot smoking.

In 2003, 81 percent of Vermont’s 8th-graders described marijuana use as “wrong or very wrong.” By 12th grade, however, the percentage describing it that way had dropped to 46 percent.

It’s not surprising that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more Vermont teens now smoke pot than cigarettes.

Clearly, the state’s pot-prevention efforts are getting only mixed results at best. And the threat of criminal prosecution doesn’t seem to be much of a hindrance, either, even though the punishments for possession in Vermont can be harsh. A first-offense conviction for possession of up to 2 ounces of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. But a second offense for possession of up to 2 ounces of dope is a felony, punishable by as much as two years in prison and a $2000 fine.

Possession of 2 ounces to 1 pound, even on a first offense, is automatically a felony and can land a person behind bars for up to three years, as well as

saddled with a $10,000 fine. The punishments get increasingly severe from there.

How aggressively does the state pursue jail time for simple possession of grass? The answer depends upon whom you ask. Reportedly, the state eschews prison time for possession alone. But in 2003, Vermont disposed of 1785 marijuana cases, 87 percent of which were for misdemeanor possession of less than 2 ounces. In 2004, 255 people were sentenced to prison for marijuana-related convictions, 171 of which were misdemeanors. With the cost of incarcerating inmates hovering at around $34,000 per year, even those relatively small numbers add up.

“There is a tremendous amount of collateral damage, if you will, by marijuana prohibition,” says Nancy Lynch, statewide organizer with the Vermont Marijuana Policy Project, a national organization that endorses the liberalization of U.S. marijuana laws. “While people think that people are not being arrested and sentenced to prison in Vermont [for possession], in fact, they are.”

Lynch is now participating in a statewide effort to revisit Vermont’s approach to drug use. About a year ago, the Vermont Bar Association launched the Drug Policy Project, a broad coalition of lawyers, doctors, agency heads, law-enforcement agents, drug-treatment counselors and others who are evaluating the effectiveness and shortcomings of Vermont’s current drug policies as they relate to treatment, prevention and criminal justice.

Kevin Ryan is director of education and communication at the Vermont Bar Association. “The primary goal [of the Drug Policy Project] is to reduce the harm that’s caused by drug use in society,” he says, “recognizing that harm can be caused not only by the people that are using drugs and selling them, but by the way we respond to that.”

Thus far, the Drug Policy Project hasn’t put forward any legislation or other specific proposals, though Ryan says it has taken the general stance that drug abuse in Vermont is a medical issue, not a law-enforcement or corrections issue. That position is consistent with statements made last year by Public Safety Commissioner Kerry Sleeper. Vermont’s top cop opposes efforts to liberalize the state’s marijuana laws, though he has publicly acknowledged that the state’s drug-abuse problems cannot and will not be solved by law enforcement alone.

Apparently, other Vermont cops share that view. The activist group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, which advocates for ending the drug war and diverting those resources to treatment, education and prevention, claims at least a dozen members from Vermont’s law-enforcement community.

Nevertheless, 90 years after Vermont criminalized marijuana and more than 30 years after the federal government launched its War on Drugs, pot remains a sticky issue in the publicpolicy sector. As Rep. David Zuckerman (P-Burlington) discovered last year, a medical-marijuana bill wouldn’t even be considered without assurances that it wasn’t a back-door effort to

legalize pot for recreational use. (Zuckerman isn’t a sponsor of Dowland’s legalization bill.)

Back in 1978, then-Representative Jim Douglas was one of 75 House members who supported a marijuana decriminalization bill. But as governor, Douglas refused to sign the medicalmarijuana bill into law, despite polls showing that Vermonters supported it by a wide margin.

The medical-marijuana bill became law anyway, though it was restricted to patients who suffer from HIV-AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis. As of March 16, only seven Vermonters had signed up for the state’s medical marijuana registry. Zuckerman’s current bill would expand the list of who may register to use medical marijuana, and would move the registry out of the Department of Public Safety. It isn’t likely to go anywhere this year, either.

And the doom-and-gloom predictions about a dope-fueled crime spree still haven’t materialized.

And yet, stigmas about the demon weed continue to linger over the Green Mountain State. Vermont’s marijuana policies seem caught in a ’60s time warp, wrapped up with images of Vietnam War protests, Kent State and naked hippies dancing at Woodstock.

Last week, when University of Vermont President Daniel Fogel sent an email letter out to all UVM students imploring them not to participate in this week’s annual 420 marijuana smoke-in on campus, his plea made no mention of pot’s potential health risks, only the harm that would befall the university’s national reputation and prestige. The message wasn’t lost on many UVM students. As is often the case, the debate over marijuana is more likely to be about appearance than substance. m

FREE SPEECH GOING TO POT? The University of Vermont has long struggled with how to respond to the annual spring tradition of students holding a marijuana smoke-in on campus. For about the last decade, UVM pot smokers have celebrated the quixotically symbolic number “420” by gathering on April 20 at 4:20 p.m. and publicly puffing out, in open defiance of university policy and state law.

Initially, UVM administrators turned a blind eye to this act of dopey disobedience.

But as the event began capturing local and national media attention, school officials realized the 420 event was creating a bad buzz about the school — some lawmakers in Montpelier even threatened to cut the university’s funding. In 2001, then-interim President Ed Colodny launched an alternative event, Spring Fest. Still, the 420 celebration kept burning.

This year, UVM officials tried a stealthier approach. Earlier this month, Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, a group sanctioned and funded by the Student Government Association, applied for an outdoor permit. They’d hoped to bring in a nationally recognized speaker, Kevin Zeese, of the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group Common Sense for Drug Policy. But their permit application was denied. Apparently, the university had already booked up all the campus greens from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. — though no outdoor events were planned that day — effectively putting the kibosh on any student gatherings, sanctioned or otherwise. Students immediately cried foul, and brought the matter to the attention of the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

This week, UVM Director of Communications Enrique Corredera confirmed that the greens had been reserved in advance to head off the 420 event. But he denied that the university is trying to quash free speech. “We continue to support our students’ right to free speech on this or any other issue,” Corredera said. “But this can’t be an excuse to break the law.”

Stranger Than Fiction Book review: Spirits of Desire

W STORY

PETER KURTH Spirits of Desire

by Greg Guma.

Maverick Books, 286 pages. $14.95.

hat becomes a legend most? Anything to do with ghosts, you might conclude after reading Greg Guma’s mysterious new debut novel, Spirits of Desire. But you’d be only partly right — the part that sees the obvious and either marvels or snorts at it.

This is the central tension in Guma’s book, the theme that allows it to rise above the usual run of “ghost stories.” Now a contributing editor at the weekly Vermont Guardian, Guma is best known as a political commentator and activist. He is also the author of The People’s Republic: Vermont and the Sanders Revolution, Uneasy Empire: Repression, Globalization, and What We Can Do, and Passport to Freedom: A Guide for World Citizens (with Garry Davis).

Spirits of Desire is a fictional account, “based on a true story,” of an astonishing family of professional mediums in rural Vermont, and the equally astonishing people who sought to endorse, or expose, them during the 19th-century “spiritualist” craze.

I call it “craze” because that’s what it was: If you weren’t crazy before you entered it, you were sure to be considered so later. Spiritualism — or “spiritism,” as it’s sometimes called — originated with the Swedish scientist

balls. “After centuries of silence,” says the Church of the Living Truth, a “dispensational” Christian outfit with a heavy Web presence, “the spirit world suddenly began communicating with almost anyone who would take the time to ask a question.”

And there’s the rub: Before the 19th century, even thinking about such questions could get you burned at the stake. None of this can be taken out of historical context.

Among the handful of scientists worldwide who still study psychic activity, most agree that anyone who brings the paranormal to public notice will need to “cheat,” sooner or later, in order to keep the enterprise going. But they also agree — and this is important as Guma’s book comes out — that there is nothing inherently more ridiculous about a Ouija board than about a group of old men in Rome sitting in a high-tech “conclave” to elect the next pope, “under the guidance of God.” This is a claim open to all, as Swedenborg knew — it’s part and parcel of the Protestant Reformation.

And there can be no “proof ” in these matters. The writer Arthur Koestler — author of Darkness at Noon, The Ghost in the Machine and dozens of other works about the clash of materi-

carnival show. This at least made a little money for Papa, who also tortured the children with beatings and burns — as did the spectators who saw them in trances at fairs and were urged by barkers to “try and snap ’em out of it.”

On their return to Vermont, for a period of several years in the 1870s, all manner of psychic phenomena unfolded at the Eddys’ farm, a ramshackle, two-story building locally known as “the ghost house,” where the Eddys enjoyed dozens of paying customers a night, “mostly couples,” as Guma writes, “and many of them so nervous about what they were about to experience that they avoided the whole subject with small talk about the state of the economy.” In mystical circles, Chittenden was known as the “spirit capital of the universe.”

With believers came skeptics, some well intended and others not. Foremost among these were Henry Steele Olcott, a retired attorney and colonel in the Union Army, assigned to investigate the Eddys for The New York Sun; Dr. George Miller Beard, a ferocious rationalist and self-appointed debunker, who regarded the task of

From the day they were born, apparently, “spirits” hovered and paraded themselves in front of the Eddy boys, William and Horatio. Doors slammed; windows opened; glasses flew out of cupboards and off the shelf. and philosopher Emmanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), who claimed that he could communicate with the dead and “travel through the spirit world.” He also claimed “to have developed skillful powers of clairvoyance and psychic ability,” according to the University of Virginia’s “Religious Movements” website.

“The idea that spirits actively help people and that mediumship can prove the existence of an afterlife was developed by Swedenborg and ultimately led to modern spiritualism,” the site continues. “Swedenborg combined these ideas with Christianity, while later on modern spiritualism would be more all-encompassing.”

Indeed. “Modern” spiritualism — what we might call the New Age — dates roughly to the performance of the Fox sisters, Margaretta and Kate, in Hydesville, New York, whose experiments with the Other World in 1848 led to an international wave of table-rapping, Tarot cards and crystal

alism and reality — put it best when he said in Janus, his last book, that trying to prove psychic ability is “like trying to get an erection in the public square, surrounded by skeptical observers.” It simply cannot be measured that way. To which Guma, I think, would say, “Amen.”

Spirits of Desire focuses on the well-known case of the Eddy brothers, orphaned stalwarts of a hard and embittered Vermont farming family in Chittenden (the town, not the county), whose subjection to psychic bedevilment and poltergeist activity could scarcely be equaled this side of Amityville. From the day they were born, apparently, “spirits” hovered and paraded themselves in front of the Eddy boys, William and Horatio.

Doors slammed; windows opened; glasses flew out of cupboards and off the shelf.

The Eddy daughters also fell in the murk, after their father decided there was no exorcising “Satan” from the household and farmed them out to a

exposing the Eddys as a nearly sacred duty; and the incomparable Helena Blavatsky, the Russian-born medium, occultist and, some said, super-charlatan in skirts. After their mutual experiences in Chittenden, from which they both emerged “convinced,” Blavatsky and Olcott went on to found the Theosophical Society, with its motto, “There is no Religion higher than Truth.”

All the people who came to Chittenden in 1874 — including Theodore Noyes, scion and eventual leader of the utopian Oneida Colony in upstate New York — were in for surprises on the Eddy farm. The record is indisputable: Unlike the Fox sisters, who seemed to take pleasure in mystifying their guests, the Eddys were tormented by their supposedly natural gift and eventually went into seclusion; no one has ever succeeded in debunking them. Their farm is now a bed and breakfast — though,

reportedly, séances are sometimes still held there.

Guma has retold the Eddy story in crisp, clear prose, keeping himself out of sight (like a good medium) and setting his plot against a backdrop not just of scientism and spiritualism, but also human emotion, individual quest, private doubt, sex, love and social turmoil. I wonder, though — why was it necessary for him to “fictionalize” a story like this? And, if he must, why isn’t his writing as exciting as his tale?

There’s nothing “wrong” with Guma’s style, but it seems unnaturally flat and restrained, as if he were embarrassed to show us what he really feels and believes. Granted, no one wants to be made a fool of; no one wants to be duped, or pegged as “irrational.” But the whole point of spiritualism in its time was the overt and defiant expression of something beyond rationality.

And this is what Spirits of Desire doesn’t quite get hold of.

In particular, Guma’s portrait of Madame Blavatsky is skewed. He plainly wants her to be his heroine, but he won’t let her do that until the force of events makes it inevitable.

She appears initially only as “Helena,” and even though I am familiar with her background and the Eddys’, I didn’t know who she was meant to be.

Finally, with a gulp, I realized, “Oh, that Helena!”

As Guma’s story moves on, Blavatsky becomes the only sane person in sight, not counting some of the Vermont “locals,” whose consciences and native ingenuity allow them, finally, to do the right thing in regard to the Eddys. But it doesn’t help to hear Blavatsky discoursing, through Guma, about “the astral body,” since this is not explained: Since their first talks and her opening act at the séances, [Olcott] was convinced she had the answers. He saw her as an encyclopedia of occult facts, from ancient rites to the latest views on hypnotic suggestion. And she did have knowledge of such things. But she chose not to dwell on them. Instead, she tried to steer his attention to subjects that really mattered. She also had to leave some areas unexplored, at least for the moment.

Alas, they still are. In an “Afterword” which I wish he had put at the front of the book, Guma explains how the Eddy story first came to his attention, though there are inexplicable events behind this, too.

It’s Guma’s achievement that he doesn’t belittle any of his characters, nor land dogmatically on either side of the “Yes?/No?” debate over parapsychology. As a political theorist, he can’t help but go off on the corruption of American life after the Civil War, when machines seemed finally to triumph over men and the debasement of national politics by money and graft would make a Bush-man blush. But against this screen of wistful humanity, again I ask: Why bother to recast this inherently colorful story as fiction? m

Hard Rock Theater review: Stone

L STORY

AMANDA WALKER Stone, adapted

by Kim Bent from Men Against Granite by Mari Tomasi and Roaldus Richmond, produced by Lost Nation Theater at Montpelier City Hall Arts Center.

Wednesdays Sundays through May 1, various times.

ost Nation Theater’s Stone is carved from a mountain of primary sources. Working from original interviews with Barre’s early granite workers found in Mari Tomasi and Roaldus Richmond’s book Men Against Granite, Artistic Director Kim Bent has created a collage of stories and voices, intermingled with strains of live music.

From the play’s opening monologue by stonecutter Elia Corti, performed by Hannibal Hill and set to the haunting Italian tune “Torna a Surriento” (“Return to Sorrento”), it is clear that turning these historical documents into living theater was a work of love. But it was also a lot of work, and the results are uneven. Some scenes convey beautiful, subtle moments, some seem unnecessary, and others appear to carry the full weight of the granite that inspired the production.

The experience actually begins before the Corti scene. Musicians Adam Boyce, John Moward and Steve Nasuta greet the audience as they arrive in the foyer with traditional tunes taken from the cultural melting pot of early-20th-century Barre.

The three-dimensional background of Robert W. Wolff’s towering, earth-toned set represents the sheer rock face of the Barre quarry. John Paul Devlin’s atmospheric lighting immediately conveys a sense of the site’s magnitude. Rising high above both audience and players, the set reinforces the script’s frequent references to the grand scale of quarrying and the dangers of working with heavy stone at great heights.

In the playbill Bent states, “I hope the experience of seeing Stone will inspire many people to delve into these and other sources, because the record is vast, fasci-

nating and highly detailed. Our production offers merely a hint of the wealth of information available.” Photos projected on two screens flanking the set provide glimpses into that history. The authentic images of work in the sheds and the quarry, and of monuments created by the stone workers, remind the audience that the characters are based on real people and lend power to their individual voices.

Mindful of Barre’s cultural diversity circa 1940, the script includes upwards of 70 characters played by an energetic ensemble of 16.

The intermixing of music, image and live performance is particularly effective as the ensemble tells narrator Corti’s story of how he crafted the Robert Burns statue that remains a fixture in Barre today. In the hands of Bent and his crew, a point in the road that modern drivers easily bypass is transformed into a focal point. This tangible remnant of Barre’s past is a hefty symbol in which competing forces converge: >> 34A

the glory of the stonecutters’ craft, the tragedy of Corti’s early death and the national pride of the first quarry workers — Scottish immigrants from the quarrying region near Aberdeen.

But the Burns statue story is just one of many that make up Stone. Mindful of Barre’s cultural diversity circa 1940, the script includes upwards of 70 characters played by an energetic ensemble of 16, including the voices of many nationalities — Italian, Irish, Scottish, French Canadian, Swedish and Spanish — each one outfitted in a distinct, authentic garment created by Cora Fauser.

Ultimately, however, the production tries to do too much. With several dozen characters to keep track of, it fails to engage the audience consistently in the granite workers’ lives in meaningful or memorable ways. And because the script sticks so closely to the original sources, it can sometimes feel like a history lesson. Many of the actors are unable to create three-dimensional performances for each character, often mixing dialects and gestures when playing multiple roles. This adds to the confusion and further distances the audience from the stories. Although Bent can’t be faulted for trying to recreate Barre’s culturally diverse, polyvocal community, this multi-

TIME TO RENT A TUX?

Vermont Public Television’s homegrown sitcom “Windy Acres” — starring faux-logger Rusty DeWees and directed by Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven — has blown on by.

But now the soundtrack is getting some attention: Composers Brett Hughes and Gordon Stone were recently nominated for an Emmy for their musical contribution to the series. Actually, it’s only a New England Emmy, but you have to admit, it’s kinda cool. The awards ceremony takes place on May 7 at the Boston Conference and Exhibition Center.

Hughes is best known as a member of über-hip country-covers acts The Chrome Cowboys and The Whateverly Brothers, but he’s also a fine songwriter. Banjo/pedal steel maestro Stone’s CV is far too extensive to list here, but let’s just say he gets around, musically speaking. So how did the two talents become involved with a TV show? “Jay was looking for something with a lot of energy that was sort of funny and unusual for the theme music,” says Hughes. “We played him some rough demo versions of a few tunes and he loved the feel and energy, so we just jumped right in.”

For inspiration, Hughes re-visited the work of a favorite composer. “I’ve always loved the music Nino Rota did for the Frederico Fellini films, and I have no problem liberally poaching at least the feel of that stuff,” he says. “I got a bunch of people to play different parts — Neil Cleary on drums, Sheila Weaver played clarinet, Nathan Bramhall laid down sax, and of course, Gordon did some great steel parts.

We covered a pretty broad range — there are some melancholy tunes, and some quirkier stuff that’s meant to support the actions and reactions in the story.”

Although Hughes is happy to be recognized, he finds the nomination a little bit odd. “It’s certainly unexpected, but if nothing else, when someone asks what’s new, I can say ‘Well, I got nominated for an Emmy award the other day.’”

Hughes won’t be attending the celebration, though — he’s got a gig. “I’m in New York City with The Whateverly Brothers that night, so I won’t be there when the awards are handed out,” he explains. “And I haven’t made any room on my mantle for a statuette. Oh, wait — I don’t have a mantle.”

BRETT HUGHES

BLUE PERIOD Vermont bluesy rockers The Nobby Reed Project are currently enjoying some unique exposure for their fifth CD, Moonlight Drivin’. “Nobby has a licensing deal with Pump Audio, and our stuff is on VH1, the History Channel, The Oxygen Network and the Discovery Channel,” according to drummer Eric Belrose. I guess even cable TV gets the blues from time to time.

Not all of the publicity is on purpose, though. “I don’t know how we got on Christian Internet Radio, but we’re currently in the top 10,” Belrose says.

Although the band can also be heard on the airwaves as far away as California, they are still trying to break into new markets the old-fashioned way: by touring. “We’ve been pounding New York State for a year, and have a sprinkling of gigs throughout New England,” Belrose reports. But booking the band isn’t always easy. “We carry the blues tag, but we’re far from traditional, so it’s hard to find a place to fit in. Most regular blues clubs are wary because we don’t play I, IV, V progressions all night long, but rock clubs aren’t usually interested in the blues,” he says.

It doesn’t help that some of the seasonal festivals are disappearing as a result of financial difficulties. “The Glens Falls Blues Festival cancelled for the first time in 14 years, due to lack of sponsorship,” Belrose relates. Blues and its offshoots have always been about ups and downs, so it’s a good bet NRP will keep rolling on.

NOBBY REED PROJECT

BEAUTIFUL BREAKDOWN Sometimes, writing about music can be heartbreaking. Last Tuesday, I popped into Metronome to catch one of my favorite national acts, Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, who were making their second appearance in Burlington. Sadly, I doubt they’ll be coming back.

For those unfamiliar — and judging from the size of the crowd, that’s most of you — Sykes writes lilting tunes that explore the darker side of Americana. Her latest record, Oh My Girl, is the aural equivalent of a leafless tree framed by an indigo-hued dusk. Filled with evocative vocals and starkly beautiful arrangements, the disc is a terrific example of haunted alt-country. Although Sykes regularly sells out clubs in bigger cities, hardly anybody showed up the last time she swung through Vermont. There were even fewer this time around, due perhaps to the chill weather or lack of publicity. I can take some responsibility for the latter.

After a decent set from Grace Potter & The Nocturnals guitarist Scott Tournet and his band The Sidemen, Sykes and co. hit the stage. They sounded wonderful — even better than the record. Upright bass, restrained percussion and the spooky tremolo guitar of ex-Whiskeytown axeman Phil Wandscher combined in a lush sound that filled the empty room. Still, it was apparent from the onset that the band was feeling frazzled. Wandscher’s guitar kept going out of tune, and they stopped and restarted several songs. Eventually, their frustrations got the best of them.

“We’ve never had an onstage meltdown before,” Sykes said in embarrassment. “We’re really sorry.”

The meager crowd was supportive, but things kept heading south. “I hope that writer is here so he can write about what an asshole you are,” Sykes said of Wandscher after the guitarist shrugged off her attempts to console him. Yikes. Thankfully, by the end of the set, they seemed to have calmed down enough to get back in the van together.

LAFE, AM I GONE

WILL DANFORTH, GREY DAWN BREAKING

(Sky Hunter Records, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

Central Vermont singer-songwriter Lafe has led a pretty interesting life. After running away from the family farm at age 13, he traveled the country Woody Guthrie-style, getting into skirmishes with the law and living the life of a troubadour. He later worked as a label exec for Warner/Elektra/Atlantic, but never abandoned his vagabond roots. Lafe’s debut release Am I Gone sets these experiences to music.

Expertly produced by Vermont musicologist/folk musician Mark Greenberg, the disc features smart arrangements and crisp, rich tones. A small crew of supporting musicians — including multi-instrumentalist Greenberg, vocalist Coco Kallis and percussionist Bim Edison — embellishes the album’s easy-going tunes. Warm, inviting and filled with subtle nuances, it’s one of the best folk-styled releases I’ve heard in a while.

Greenberg’s mandolin intro to “I’ll Get Over You” provides a fine melodic opening to Lafe’s melancholic vocal phrasing. “Broken hearts and broken homes/You know it happens every day/Faces pressed against the glass/framed pictures from the past,” Lafe sings in a candid tone. Earnest and unpretentious, he conveys the tune’s sad tale without sounding sappy.

Lafe is a solid, if unassuming, guitarist; his soft strums and gentle fingerpicking provide a decent framework for each of the record’s 14 cuts. Effective in its simplicity, “Paint Me Blue” is a good example of the songwriter’s economical six-string style. “Kings Don’t Cry” features Kallis, who sounds like a cross between Sandy Denny and Christine McVie. She provides the song with an earthily romantic quality and nicely complements Lafe’s low-key vocals.

The spry bounce of “South Folk” spins a romantic tale about travel below the Mason-Dixon line. Banjo, mandolin and harmonica dance playfully around Lafe’s robust vocal lines, giving the cut a winsome feel. “The Alamo” is the type of story-song Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash might pen; its Southwestern imagery and lonesome chord progression create a late-night campfire vibe. “Got in a high-risk game with three Mayans and a priest,” Lafe intones in a hushed baritone. While this particular song might not be drawn from personal experience, it sure is fun.

Am I Gone isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but there’s so much to enjoy that you never really mind. Lafe’s debut will delight those looking for honest tunes impeccably performed and recorded. Help him celebrate the release Thursday, April 21, at The Black Door Bar & Bistro in Montpelier, and at the River Run Restaurant in Plainfield on Sunday, April 24.

CASEY REA

The chill breeze of British Isles folk blows through the opener, “Sea-Fever,” on Will Danforth’s newest release. And no wonder: The words he set to music belong to English poet John Masefield (1878-1967), who wrote voluminously of oceanfaring. Lines about the sea and the clouds present a freewheeling visual for “the vagrant gypsy life,” and an array of folk instruments, played in a somewhat stately rhythm, conveys the mood.

Danforth, a Michigan transplant who now resides in Chester, contributes evocative guitars, as well as mountain dulcimer, octave mandolin and harmonica.

You’d think those might do quite nicely, but no.

Danforth has engaged the services of some fine fellow acoustic musicians on Grey Dawn Breaking — John Dunlop on cello, Gabe Halberg on tabla, Gordon Korstange on flute, Cindy Mangsen on concertina, Colin McCaffrey on bass and Celtic harp, Marty Morrissey on bodhran, Jim Pitman on pedal steel, and Pete Sutherland on fiddle. Danforth’s main instrument is really a rich, hearty voice that effortlessly glides from low to high and back. Still, he often beefs up his songs with harmonies from Patti Casey and other singers.

The remaining 11 tracks on Grey Dawn Breaking are Danforth originals. Most continue in the traditional Brit-folk vein — melancholic, bittersweet, minor-key — and nearly all are slowish in tempo. Subject-wise, Danforth gravitates to nature, love and philosophic tracts on life. Despite its ponderous-sounding title, “I Will Not Shy Away From the Sorrow” is the best of these; it picks up the tempo a bit and offers a bracing recommendation for, essentially, living life to the fullest and heeding the lessons of the bad with the rewards of the good.

Danforth strays from his Anglo roots with “Indian in My Past,” set to percussive smacks that evoke Native American toms. Whether he’s seeing ghosts, feeling white-man guilt or honoring a genuine ancestry isn’t clear, but perhaps his quick line about being free of politicians and “corporate psychopaths” says enough. Danforth can get a tad heavy-handed at times, but when he sings about loving and being loved — such as the burnished, long-lasting relationship referred to in “Simple Song” — it’s clear he knows whereof he sings, and the words ring true.

Though a couple of too-minimalist songs don’t quite hang together, Grey Dawn Breaking is for the most part a solid contribution of sincere, heartfelt folk. And gorgeous production — recording by Peter Engisch at Ad Astra, mixing and mastering by Lane Gibson at Charles Eller Studios — gives the material the sonic heft it deserves.

CALL TO ARTISTS

Close Encounters

P EXHIBIT “Flowers of Spring” by Reid Crosby, through May 10, and “Pig Series” by John Youngblood, through April 30, Enigma Gallery, Essex.

ARTWORK “Daisy” by Reid Crosby

PHOTO Marc Awodey

igs and flowers are seldom paired, but they coexist nicely at Essex’s Enigma Gallery this month in two, one-person photography exhibitions.

“Flowers of Spring” is a collection of eight color photos by Vermont artist Reid Crosby, and the aptly entitled “Pig Series” consists of seven blackand-white shots of swine by Californian John Youngblood. Neither collection is odoriferous, yet both exude a sweet formality as Crosby and Youngblood craft sophisticated compositions out of light, line, form and visual textures.

Naturally, flowers are a perfect subject for color photography, but Crosby does more than bedazzle with hue. His shots are all close-ups. In “Day Lily,” the leafy green negative space that surrounds the little orange petals gives the image dramatic depth. “Daisy,” on the other hand, focuses on the patterns within the flower. Its yellow seeds are arranged contrapuntally in layers of clockwise and counterclockwise spirals — an example of one of nature’s most complex forms of patterning.

Whereas daisies have complicated seed structures, the orchids here have complex names.

“Orchid (VI) Cattleya Angel Bells ‘Susie’” captures pale purple flowers on a white background, while “Orchid (II) Dendrobium Dawn Maree ‘GJW’” is a deeper shade of lavender. Regardless of hue, all of Crosby’s orchids are equally fleshy and translucent. “Orchid (IV) Phalaenopsis Carmella’s Pixie” has salmon-colored petals with fiery red veins snaking through them.

Youngblood’s oeuvre of visual paeans to the porcine have a point of view similar to Crosby’s floral subjects. The pigs are photographed up close so that the intricate beauties of their plump forms fill each picture plane.

“Body Line Pigs” is a sweeping diagonal that runs from lower left to upper right, focusing on a pair of pigs at rest. The upper pig has large freckles beneath its bristly hair, and the lower pig has a finer fuzz of silvery white. As is often the case with nudes, it’s hard to identify the actual anatomy of either abutting animal.

“Pig — Black Bodies With White” has a similar composition, but the pigs are, as the title says,

black-and-white. Youngblood’s series is certainly a quirky look at pigs, yet it’s seriously composed as well. Black-and-white images of black and white pigs allow engaging contrasts of value, and Youngblood is adept at rooting out the abstract possibilities of his subjects. There is a central axis

Both Crosby and Youngblood craft sophisticated compositions out of light, line, form and visual textures. of white fur, bounded by gray bands and black fields, at the edges of “Pig — Black Bodies With White.”

“Two Black, Two White Pigs” is Youngblood’s only vertical composition on display. It’s a relatively distant shot capturing four slumbering pigs that are virtually interwoven on a bed of sawdust.

The darkest values, and blackest pigs, are clustered in the foreground.

“Pig Tail” focuses on a delicately curled circle at the aft end of the swine. The tail is in profile at lower left, atop the crest of a larger semi-circle.

The flank of a sty mate creates a deep shadow behind the foreground pig.

“Pig Snout” is also replete with circles. The round snout pokes out between two wooden rails of fence, and the snout’s two little nostrils are within its circular form. This is no casual barnyard snapshot. As with all of Youngblood’s images, this one is in high relief, with a distinct light providing high contrasts. It seems likely that he brought a lighting rig as well as his camera to the pig farm.

Timed to coincide with mud season, the Enigma’s companion shows are a breath of fresh air. m

My five-year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Kona, has been missing since 7:30 a.m. on Friday, April 1st. He was last seen outside my house on Thompson’s Point Rd in Charlotte, VT. Kona weighs approximately 100 lbs. His long fur is mostly black throughout his body with brown and white around his face, legs, and paws. His distinguishable features include white around his nose with a thin white line that extends up the bridge of his nose to his forehead.

He has a shorter tail than most Bernese Mountain Dogs; it’s about two-thirds the normal length and does not have the typical white tip.

He had surgery this past fall and there is still a sign of the scar on his lower belly. Related to his surgery, he is permanently on medication and has a special diet to prevent him from having seizures.

Please, if you happen to hear of anyone who recently found or acquired an adult male Bernese Mountain Dog, or if you see him, or if you happen to notice an advertisement in the paper (“Lost & Found”, “For Sale”, etc.), or if you have any leads at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

The Amityville Horror ★★

A HOME ONEROUS Reynolds and George take possession of an unexpectedly crowded house in this pointless remake from Andrew Douglas.

s I sat through this utterly disposable, instantly forgettable and completely unnecessary remake of the 1979 horror chestnut, I didn’t feel as though I was watching a motion picture. I felt as though I was watching the cinematic equivalent of one of those best-of-this-or-that-decade record compilations you see advertised on TV. Virtually the only level on which this movie succeeds is as a collection of scary effects and motifs from more inventive films.

Yet another advertising hotshot-turned-director, Andrew Douglas here rehashes the familiar tale of the Lutz family. Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George have recently married. She has three kids from a previous marriage. He has a fledgling construction company. They decide to go house hunting in Long Island and can’t believe their good fortune when they discover a grand waterfront property for sale at a cut-rate price. The real estate agent waits until they’ve fallen in love with the place to explain the deep discount: A year earlier, one of the home’s occupants went postal, picked up a shotgun and wiped out his family as they lay asleep in their beds. He claimed he heard voices telling him to do it.

Oh, well, a bargain’s a bargain. The couple moves in anyway. The last box has barely been unpacked when members of the family begin encountering special effects themselves. The little girl makes an imaginary friend. Only she’s not imaginary. She’s the little girl who was murdered the year before. She has a bullet hole in her forehead.

The wife’s brush with the paranormal is limited to finding refrigerator magnets arranged into ominous messages.

The brunt of the otherworldly bother is borne by the man of the house. Pre-move, he’s a breezy charmer eager to befriend his step-brood. Post-move, he grows increasingly irritable and abusive. Until, that is, he and the Mrs. leave the house and drive into town to run an errand or enjoy a romantic evening. Then he quickly returns to his old self.

He even comments on the phenomenon at one point, observing, “I guess I just needed to get out of the house for a while.”

One or two such droll touches aside, the film chronicles

a standard descent into movie madness embellished by a veritable greatest-hits package of scare tactics: Reynolds’ axe-related threats against his family recall Jack Nicholson’s antics in The Shining; Philip Baker Hall plays a priest who attempts to drive the forces of darkness off the property just as the priests in The Exorcist attempted to do; the dead people seen by members of the family will remind many in the audience of those Haley Joel Osment saw in The Sixth Sense. A scene in which one character is inexplicably attacked by a roomful of insects is lifted from 1995’s The Babysitter, while the tendency of the furniture in the Lutz house to rearrange itself is straight out of Poltergeist. Miscellaneous editing and makeup approaches have been appropriated from a variety of frightfests made since the original Amityville Horror was released — everything from Jacob’s Ladder and Hellraiser to Feardotcom and The Ring.

Indeed, the primary motivation for making this update — besides the obvious financial one — must have been a compulsion to find out how much more terrifying the story could be with the help of filmmaking effects developed over the past quarter-century. The irony, of course, is that the end result is infinitely less unsettling. It’s the difference between a film by Alfred Hitchcock and two hours’ worth of Marilyn Manson videos.

Not that the first Amityville Horror was in the same league as Hitchcock’s work. It was a grade-B spooker at best, but it did manage to generate an atmosphere of genuine menace, largely by means of suggestion. In those days, a viewer’s emotions and imaginations were allowed to play roles in the movie-viewing process. Today, jackhammer editing and gratuitous CGIs render the imagination moot.

You could leave your frontal lobe at home and still get as much out of most horror movies — certainly this one.

Especially given the fact that we already know how it’s going to end. What’s the point? The new Amityville Horror does a splendid job of encapsulating all that’s wrong with the modern Hollywood horror film. Unfortunately, that’s about all it does well. m

SEVEN DAYS MILLIONS

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Pennies From Heaven

Schmaltz overwhelms what starts out as a bittersweet tale of how a child’s vivid imagination and reality can intersect. human degradation: the murderous roommates of Shallow Grave, the Scottish junkies of Trainspotting and the flesh-eating zombies of 28 Days Later.

In contrast, Millions has a sunny disposition. The primary source of that cheerfulness is 7-year-old Damian Cunningham, portrayed by frecklefaced Alex Etel. Thanks to his astonishing knowledge of beatified early Christians, the youngster chats comfortably with various saints who periodically materialize at the cardboard box playhouse he’s constructed in a field near some railroad tracks.

There’s delightful wit in visitations from the likes of Dorothy of Caesarea, martyred in 311 AD, and Clare of Assisi, whose holy qualities are undiminished by the fact that she’s a chain smoker in heaven. Cinematographer Anthony Tod Mantle and production designer Mark Tildesley have concocted these mystical sequences with movie magic probably made possible by the advent of computer-generated imagery.

Damian invariably asks the wisecracking spectral figures if they’ve seen “Saint Maureen,” his dead mother.

This is a kid trying to make sense of the family tragedy that has left his father Ronnie (James Nesbitt, the lead actor in Bloody Sunday) desperate for a return to normality. The surviving Cunninghams, including Damian’s older brother Anthony (Lewis McGibbon), have moved into a suburban Liverpool housing development to start over.

When an enormous satchel of money apparently falls from the sky at his feet, Damian believes it’s a sign from God to help poor people, much the way Saint Roch did back in medieval times. In the 21st century, though, he decides his best bet is to take homeless people out for meals at the local Pizza Hut. Anthony is dubious about any spiritual source for the £265,000 and would like to buy a few earthly luxuries. He’s as keen on video games as his brother is on divine intervention.

But the loot will only be valuable for another two weeks, when the country is scheduled to switch to euros — an idea as fanciful as Damian’s visions of saints since in real life the United Kingdom retains its original currency. The brothers don’t dare attempt an exchange because a bank teller would surely wonder what they’re doing with so much moola. So a frenzy of spending on good works and material goods appears to be the only sensible option.

These plans are complicated by two problems: Damian’s substantial donation to a charity for destitute Africans raises eyebrows, and a thug comes looking for the bag of stolen money he tossed from a train as it passed the cardboard playhouse.

“I thought it was a miracle,” says the disillusioned Damian, “but it was just robbed.”

Despite the film’s phantasmagorical premise, most of the performances are thankfully quite natural.

McGibbon and especially Etel are inspired casting choices, effectively combining vulnerability with moxie.

The sole exception is Daisy Donovan as a gung-ho fundraiser who becomes

a romantic prospect for Ronnie the widower and a potential surrogate mom for his sons. Subtlety is not her strong suit.

Millions starts going to hell the moment she struts into the frame. All hope for salvation is lost during pivotal scenes at a school nativity pageant, as the ascetic Saint Nicholas of Myra gives way to consumer-minded Santa Claus and a mangerful of mushy Christmas tidings.

Boyle and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce (24 Hour Party People) allow the schmaltz to overwhelm what starts out as a bittersweet tale of how a child’s vivid imagination and reality can intersect. Moreover, the characterdriven script suddenly descends into the chaos of a conventional comedic action-adventure genre.

Anyone not seduced by the Vatican’s cinematic costume drama and the call for instant canonization of John Paul II may find this ofteninnovative motion picture disappointing. On the other hand, the politically incorrect sight gag of Saint Clare puffing on a “ciggie” almost makes Millions worth the devilish ticket price in pounds, euros or dollars. m

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

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.

OREGON is where pizza seasoning was invented.

MASSACHUSETTS was home to masticating slave owners.

TEXAS and death are things people worry about.

MAINE produces important conduits for water and gas.

VIRGINIA is home to people who practice abstinence.

NEW JERSEY is where cotton pullovers are manufactured.

WASHINGTON is where those pullovers are laundered.

LOUISIANA was named after Louis Armstrong.

CONNECTICUT is where sutures are widely used.

RHODE ISLAND is populated by scholars from Oxford.

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com).

Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS A RED HERRING. 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.

Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: You’ll coast right into answerland.

P

eople who didn’t get enough Catholicism from media coverage of the Pope’s funeral might want to check out Millions. The British film, opening this weekend at the Roxy in Burlington, begins as a clever, slightly irreverent examination of faith, but winds up with the kind of sentimental religiosity recently witnessed in Rome.

It’s quite a departure for director Danny Boyle, best known for his darkly humorous stories depicting

Milne’s beloved children’s books.

This time around, Pooh, Piglet and Tigger learn about acceptance and diversity with a little help from a much-feared monster. (68 min, G) ROBOTS★★★ Academy Award-winning director Chris (Ice Age) Wedge brings us a CGI saga set in a world inhabited entirely by mechanical beings. The voice cast includes Ewan McGregor, Greg Kinnear and Robin Williams. (93 min, PG) SAHARA★★ Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz are paired in this actionadventure about a master explorer’s dangerous treasure hunt in West Africa.

With Steve Zahn and Delroy Lindo.

(127 min, PG-13) SIN CITY★★★1/2 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) STEAMBOY★★★1/2 From master Japanese-anime-director Katsuhiro (Akira) Otomo comes this visual extravaganza about a family of Victorian-era Manchester inventors who develop a steam ball that could spell the end for mankind.

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR★1/2 Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George and Jesse James team up for this remake of the 1979 horror chestnut about a family who experience ominous phenomena that seem to be related to their new home’s violent history. Based on a true story.

With Philip Baker Hall. (105 min, R) THE AVIATOR★★★ 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)

(107 min, PG-13) THE SEA INSIDE★★★★ 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 ANGER★★★1/2 From writer-director Mike Binder comes this drama about a suburban wife left to raise four daughters when her husband unexpectedly disappears. Joan Allen and Kevin Costner star.

TRAVELERS AND MAGICIANS★★★1/2 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.

THE TEACHINGS OF LIGHT AND SOUND

There

Sri Gary Olsen, Spiritual Leader of MasterPath

are two approaches to God, the conventional and the universal.

Conventional truth instructs us to search for God and truth outside ourselves, whereas universal truth instructs us to search for God and truth within ourselves.

There is a vast difference between the two of which greater numbers are growing increasingly aware.

LAURA’S SONG

First impressions rarely tell the whole story.

When you first met Laura Winterbottom, friends say, she seemed shy and reserved. But once you got to know her, she blossomed into a vibrant, talkative woman with an infectious laugh. Most Sunday mornings found her setting off with an informal outing club. After climbing Mt. Mansfield or snowshoeing on Camel’s Hump, she’d share potluck and girl talk with close friends. An avid quilter, she collected fabrics that she’d spread across the room, having fun mixing colors and patterns for the latest coverlet she’d be creating for somebody’s baby. Winterbottom was a graphic artist, a vegetable gardener — and, at 31, still looking forward to starting a family of her own. On the night she died, she’d been planning a new chapter: teaching art. This weekend’s memorial service celebrates Winterbottom’s life with music, poems, stories and an exhibit of her work. “What the public knows about Laura is through the tragedy,” says friend Lisa Kenerson. “We want people to be able to share who she was.”

LAURA WINTERBOTTOM MEMORIAL SERVICE Saturday, April 23, Unitarian Church, Burlington, 7 p.m. Free. Info, 863-0473.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@’TURNING AWAY FROM HATE’ MCCARTHY ARTS CENTER, ST. MICHAEL’S COLLEGE, COLCHESTER, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 7:30 P.M. T.J. Leyden showed some disturbing slides during his energetic, hour-and-a-half presentation last week at St. Michael’s College: shots of his 29 swastika tattoos, ads for skinhead gear from white-pride retailer Aryan Wear and photos of the gutted Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma — undeniable proof that racist groups are deadly.

But the most chilling image was of Leyden’s smiling, pregnant ex-wife, standing beside a Confederate battle flag in a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Aryan Baby.” An arrow points to her swollen belly below.

It was that baby that ultimately brought about Leyden’s transformation, from hardcore Neo-Nazi to freelance anti-racist consultant. When the boy was 3, he complained to his dad about the “niggers” on TV. Leyden — a bearded bruisertype who became a teenage skinhead and spent 15 years in what he calls “a world of hate” — was unsettled by his son’s remark. He soon renounced his beliefs.

His conversion came at a price — he divorced his defiantly racist wife, who still has custody of two of his sons. His friends abandoned him. He went to work for the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Justice, speaking to audiences about white supremacists. Racist websites branded him a “race traitor.”

Nine years after he becoming an ex Neo-Nazi, Leyden has parlayed his experiences into a career advocating for tolerance. He has spoken to hundreds of audiences. Exhibiting techniques he once used to lure kids into the fold, he’s sounding a wake-up call about the power of hatred.

He said he learned his recruiting and training techniques while serving in the U.S. military, where he said officers often overlook racism. “While I was in the Marine Corps uniform,” he said, “passing out [copies of a racist book], there was another guy in an Army uniform passing out the same book — Timothy McVeigh.”

He sounded sincere when he pleaded with the 50-person crowd, “Please help the world to stop creating people like me.”

BRASS ACT

West Coast jazz tends to be “cooler” than its Eastern cousin, and Californian cornetist Bobby Bradford is pretty laid-back. Since playing with prophetic saxophonists Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy in 1950s Los Angeles, he’s had a long and much-respected career as an innovative free-jazz player. Bradford visits Vermont as part of the Green Mountain Jazz Series. He’s joined by rhythm musicians from western Massachusetts and chromatic harmonica player John LaRouche, plus his own L.A. colleague Chuck Manning, on tenor and soprano sax. Who wouldn’t want to hear him toot his horn?

MUSICAL SHARES

The Artemis Quartet takes its name from the Greek goddess of the hunt, but its masterful members only draw their bows to go after notes. Formed 15 years ago, when the four were German music students, the ensemble has been steadily raking in fame and honors.

Reviewing its debut U.S. tour in 1998, The New York Times noted the group’s knack for “surprise, spontaneity and a sense of risk.” This year, Middlebury is their only tour stop that’s not a major metropolitan area. On pieces by Bartok, Schumann and Mendelssohn, their balanced sound — like the goddess herself — should be perfection on a curve.

HORSING AROUND

Let’s face it — unlike, say, Montana, Vermont is pretty short on cowboy cred. There’s still a sizeable group of Vermonters that owns or cares for trusty steeds, though. At the Everything Equine & Horse Show, horse enthusiasts of all stripes saddle up for demonstrations and seminars ranging from nutrition to “equine biosecurity.” Stowe screenwriter, novelist and movie producer John Fusco discusses the real Mustangs that inspired his TV and silver-screen creations Hildago and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. A 4-H corner invites kids into the stirrups with hands-on projects and games, and displays of toy models of various breeds. Psst — keep your eye out for the Morgan. Montana may have more cowboys, but its state animal is a bear.

ALL IN THE FAMILY

You might think poet David Budbill personified the stereotype of the lone scribbler. After all, he belongs to the solitary-sounding “Green Mountain Zen” school, and his 1999 volume is subtitled Poems of a Mountain Recluse. But he shares the writing gene — and the poetry reading scene — with his daughter, Nadine Wolf Budbill. Now living in New York City, Nadine gives her spoken-word perspective backup from a DJ, and the father-daughter duo has collaborated on hip-hop-style performances. Wolcott-based David reads from both his works and his offspring’s as part of the Stowe Free Library’s family-themed spin on National Poetry Month. It’s more than words.

DAVID BUDBILL Tuesday, April 26, Stowe Free Library, 7:30 p.m. Free. Info, 253-6145.

BY ROB BREZSNY

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

APRIL 21-27

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Green Day CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Creativ- LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One of my CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): singer Billie Joe Armstrong tells this story: “A guy walks up to me and says, ‘What’s punk?’

I kick over a garbage can and say, ‘That’s punk.’ So the guy kicks over a garbage can and says, ‘That’s punk?’ And I say ‘No, that’s trendy.’” Keep this tale in mind in the coming week, Aries. There’s no need and no excuse for you to be like the trendy guy. You should be like Billie Joe, the one who kicks over the garbage can the first time.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Traditional astrologers say Tauruses are rampant materialists. While it’s true that members of your sign often have a robust relationship with money, I find that many of you also have a refined and vigorous appreciation of beauty. In fact, I think an aesthetically pleasing environment is crucial for your mental and spiritual health. In the coming week, you should devote extra time and care to this need. Purge ugliness from your surroundings. Introduce elements that excite your eye and stimulate your imagination.

Your symbol of power: the thousand-yearold rose bush that grows next to the wall of Germany’s Hildeshiem Cathedral.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): For one week, try this exercise: Each night before you fall asleep, review the day’s activities in your mind’s eye. As if watching a movie about yourself, strive to be calmly objective as you observe your memories from the previous 16 hours. Be especially alert for moments when you strayed from your purpose and didn’t live up to your highest standards. If you’re feeling adventurous, I also recommend that you spend a day doing a review of all of your life’s highlights since your last birthday. Pick a time when you have a few hours to spare, lie back and close your eyes, and watch with compassionate gratitude as the amazing plot lines unfold.

ity is like driving a car at night,” said E.L. Doctorow. “You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” I would add that life itself is also like driving a car at night. You’re pretty much in the dark all the time except for what’s right in front of you. Or at least that’s usually the case. But for a few shining hours in the coming week, Cancerian, I believe you’ll be able to see the big picture of where you’re headed. It will be as if the whole world is suddenly illuminated by a prolonged burst of light; as if you’re both driving your car and also watching your journey from high above.

ex-girlfriends had heart surgery when she was an infant. They opened her tiny chest, fixed the problem, and sewed her back up, leaving a 2-inch scar on her skin. By the time she became an adult, the scar had grown along with the rest of her, stretching to 8 inches. I regard this as a good metaphor for the way our early psychic wounds expand as we mature. Having said that, though, I’m happy to report that you now have an excellent chance to dramatically dissipate the lingering pain of an old trauma, as well as to shrink the scar it made. Please take maximum advantage of the healing energy available.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Actress Lara

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): While

Flynn Boyle was recently accused of acting oddly on a British Airways flight from Los Angeles to London. Witnesses have said nudity and extreme lack of inhibition were involved.

When Boyle was confronted by reporters with the rumors, she refused to elaborate, noting simply, “My job is to entertain, and not to explain.” I hereby declare that to be both your motto and mantra in the coming week, Leo.

mountain biking, I spied a white horse engaged in odd behavior in a meadow. Over and over again, it took two steps forward and two steps back. Was it neurotic or distraught?

I decided to sit and watch. Five minutes went by. Ten. Still it continued its routine. Finally I got inspired to pray for it. “Dear Goddess,” I said, “please at least let that poor horse go three steps forward and two steps back.” Moments later, the creature started doing exactly what I’d prayed for. Slowly, it made progress across the field. Now I’m saying a similar prayer for you: “Dear Goddess, please help Scorpios escape their treadmill-like pace, and go at least three steps forward for every two backward.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My friend Kathleen traveled to Maui with her 9-year-old daughter Ariel. They checked into an oceanside condo. At 5 a.m. on their first morning there, Ariel crept over to Kathleen’s bed and repeatedly whispered, “Let’s go see the sea turtles.” Rising out of the depths of sleep, Kathleen was torn. Part of her was peeved at the intrusion because she wanted to luxuriate in bed till late morning. Another part of her longed to glimpse the turtles, which only appeared in the cove once a day at dawn.

Kathleen decided to join Ariel, conquering her annoyance and putting aside her desire for comfort. The payoff was worth it. Seeing the turtles while in a dreamy state was an unforgettable joy. I predict you will be faced with a comparable situation in the coming week, Virgo. I suggest you choose as Kathleen did.

21): Actor Vin Diesel was describing the work required of him in the film The Pacifier. “The hardest stunt I ever had to do was allow my ear to be gnawed on by a duck,” he said. I fully expect that among the many stunts you will be asked to perform in the coming weeks, Sagittarius, none will be more dangerous or uncomfortable than Diesel’s. I won’t mind if you bitch about them the whole time, but please bear in mind how innocuous they will all turn out to be.

11:51 AM

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Bengal tiger at a zoo in Burma killed one of her 2-week-old cubs. Zoo officials decided to separate her from her other two cubs. They did so reluctantly because the Bengal tiger is an endangered species and these were the first cubs born in the zoo in 16 years. Putting out a call for a surrogate mother, the officials were relieved when a 40-year-old woman, a mother of three children, pledged to breast-feed the cubs until their teeth grew in. Although your pressing need has arisen from very different factors, Aquarius, you, like the cubs, should be open to receiving nourishment from exotic sources in the coming weeks.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Centuries ago, the sight of a Viking ship on the horizon cast dread into the hearts of villagers who lived on the east coast of what’s now Britain. Rightfully so: The Norse raiders were infamous for plundering and killing.

Today, though, the Vikings frighten no one.

The loss of their status as a symbol of fear is epitomized by the silly replica of a Viking ship that a Dutchman named Robert McDonald is building out of 15 million lollipop sticks. This transformation is a good analogy for the process that should unfold in your life during the coming weeks, Pisces. Something that has always scared you is ready to be reduced to a 2x2-031605-retreat 3/14/05 11:25 AM Page 1 harmless cartoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

Drugs don’t give Indian holy man Mangal Das a buzz. Maybe he has meditated too much to be affected by mere chemicals. In his quest for experience that takes him outside of his usual awareness, he has also arranged to be bitten by snakes and scorpions. Unfortunately, that doesn’t give him a kick, either. He even tried drinking elixirs made from toxic herbs, but there was no bang to be had. Finally he found an intoxicant that worked: touching live wires. Now he enjoys getting an electrical shock every day. I wouldn’t be surprised if you soon embarked on a comparable quest to expand your thrills, Capricorn. But please limit your search to things that are really good for you.

Avoid the shock and poison options.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My mom remarried last summer, right before I left home for college. I’m really happy for her, but when I came home for winter break, my new stepfather — who fancies himself a photographer — had decorated the upstairs hall with photos of my mother in the nude. She calls them “art.” I wouldn’t know; I couldn’t look at the things. The semester’s almost over, and my girlfriend’s coming home with me. I haven’t warned her about the photos. How can I convince my mother to take them down before we arrive? I feel sick to my stomach just from thinking about walking into that house.

Bothered in Burlington Dear Bothered, This isn’t just about embarrassing pictures. You and your mom are both still learning to let go of each other. For her, this is also a time to rediscover an aspect of her identity that got back-burnered while she was concentrating on motherhood. That said, it’s also about embarrassing pictures. Explain how you feel in a non-judgmental way. With the newlywed phase behind her, she’ll probably be more receptive. And talk to your girlfriend, too. It’ll help your stomach.

Love, Lola

Are you a good listener? Do you enjoy good conversation?

If so, let's make a deal. Let me introduce myself. My name is Bernie and I am a handsome 3-year-old, grey-and-white male cat. I will spend hours with you listening, talking and sharing our secrets and thoughts on the world. I am a social, confident, and talkative chap. I can be a hard one to read mysterious is what I like to call it - keeps folks intrigued.

People say that I am sweet, and that I like to have my head and chin gently scratched. I am uncomfortable with having my back petted as it may have been injured or burnt, perhaps when I was trying to stay warm under a car while I was a strolling stray cat in my previous life. As a result, I am looking for a home with older children (10 years old and up) who can be respectful of this sensitivity. Your end of the deal: do you have a safe, warm place for me to relax and be loved? If so, visit me at HSCC, Tuesday through Friday from 1 pm to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington. 862-0135.

ARE YOU GAY AND FEELING IN AND out of the Lurch. Like Lurch from the Addams Family, no love ‘cause you’re G and a little bit different.

You, me and that first romantic dinner for two, Lurch from the Addams Family-style (full of life and the things that matter).
