my favorite lunch place is... Jeff’s Seafood [in St. Albans]. I love the Jeff’s club with crabmeat!

Before I was a realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... I worked as a school counselor with middle

weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Word Blur

RENT VENT On one hand, it is clear to see the benefit of Stuart Bennett, director of the Vermont Apartment Owners Association (VAOA) [“Housing Discrimination ‘Fourishing’ in VT, Tests Suggest,” April 11]. He is an advocate for landlords to whatever end. On the other hand, Bennett’s loyalties leave him strikingly naive to the realities faced by renters. His comparison of housing discrimination to his breakfast selections makes me doubly glad I left his organization years ago. Back when Burlington voted overwhelmingly to force landlords without lease to give 90 days notice to vacate, Bennett curiously opposed the measure. Why would a landlord advocate essentially encourage landlords to not have leases — a basic tenet of the business? My repeated queries went unanswered by him. To aspiring and current landlords, I caution you to at least give VAOA a thorough review, if not drop them altogether. One can own rental property successfully by being aware of CVOEO’s Renting in Vermont Handbook and by reviewing local codes at www.municode.com. My own analysis has shown that VAOA’s helpful information is overshadowed by a very conservative lobbying agenda. The latest quotes from Bennett only serve to reaffirm my conclusion. Tiki Archambeau

WHIPPET GOOD

Last night I had a dream that I was performing street theater in some unknown town that hosted an MFA performance program. A bunch of students were watching. I was invited to give a lecture/demonstration at their school. When I showed up in the corridors of the Art Building a girl who recognized me from the street came up to greet me. “You’re performance was...” I prepared myself for the accolades. “Three-quarters bullshit.” “It was a whippet of snip-snobbery,” she concluded. Why am I having MFA anxiety dreams? Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading Taken by Surprise: A Dance Improvisation Reader. Should I have gone to UCLA and studied with Simone Forti? And having not committed in full at the exact right moment in life, am I making a mistake digging back into this turf? After all, this was not the plan. Dance, some days I wish I could quit you. Other days it’s like mainlining Prozac directly into my befuddled postpartum brain. Posted April 20 by Selene Colburn Colburn is currently crafting a dance piece called “The History of the Future” in the Flynn Center’s Chase Family Dance Studio.

THIS WEEK ON WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM: Video blogger Eva Sollberger visits the WRUV FM studios for an episode of the live music show, “Exposure.”

NO IDLING MATTER Peter Freyne’s commentary [“Inside Track,” April 11] on the City of Burlington’s No Idling Campaign illustrates why outreach and education to reduce vehicle emissions are important and necessary in the struggle against air pollution. At the mayor’s April 9 press conference, Freyne seemed unaware of the difference between the tons of emissions generated by hundreds of idling vehicles year round, and the smoke coming from a few dozen charcoal barbecues on a summer afternoon. As Freyne fights cancer, perhaps he might consider a landmark study, “The Harmful Effects of Vehicle Exhaust: A Case for Policy Change,” published in 2006 by Environment & Human Health, Inc., and available on the nonprofit organization’s website at www.ehhi.org. The EHHI study links air pollution caused by vehicle emissions with chronic diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. State and local governments are urged to institute measures (such as no idling policies), which reduce exposure to exhaust fumes, especially among children, seniors and people with compromised immune systems. Last summer, Burlington’s city council unanimously passed a noidling resolution requiring most city vehicles to turn their engines

off when parked. Mayor Bob Kiss, the Burlington Legacy Project, Police Chief Tom Tremblay, and city department heads such as Steve Goodkind deserve credit for their leadership to save tax dollars, reduce air pollution, and educate residents of the “greenest city” in America on the health and safety benefits obtained by simply turning off the key. Jim Flint BURLINGTON

IMPEACHABLE YOU To Peter Freyne: Your lunatic and idiotic rantings about impeachment [“Inside Track,” April 18] get out of hand! You have no sense of reality, dimension (State of Vermont!) and ultimately of judicial legality, Mr. Freyne. This president was legally elected, and to impeach him one cannot pursue a street-mob mentality; only clear judicial grounds for impeachment could be followed, whether you like it or not! Using your pompous “we” to show us how important you are is outright disgusting. Tibor Bernath BURLINGTON

BREEDER REACTOR I was sorry to see in your article, “Cats’ Cradle,” [April 18] that cat breeder Joyce Woodruff just doesn’t get it about the Pet Animal Welfare Statute, which is designed to deal with the pet overpopulation crisis. Unfortunately, 6-8 mil-

lion dogs and cats enter shelters in this country each year. Of these, 34 million will be killed for one reason: a lack of an available home. The ASPCA reveals that seven out of 10 cats entering shelters will be destroyed, and five out of 10 dogs will meet the same fate. One homeless pet is killed every six seconds. The ASPCA also estimates there are 70 million stray cats roaming America. Doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy. Ms. Woodruff believes “It isn’t the purebred people who are filling

up the Humane Society, so why are they after us?� Other than being a little bit heartless, Ms. Woodruff, you are simply wrong; according to the HSUS, 25 percent of the animals entering shelters are indeed purebred. If you are still not convinced, visit Petfinder.com and enter Siamese cat or black labs, for starters. Ninety-five percent of shelter animals are adoptable — friendly, personable, loving and wonderful companions. Politically, shelters cost the U.S. taxpayers an estimated $2 billion a

year. By the government finally stepping up to the plate, perhaps we can eliminate reckless breeding and irresponsible pet owners. Dedicated breeders have a different agenda than making a living off breeding. Cat and dog fanciers don’t have to be at battle against regulators and those concerned about animal rights; they simply need to know the facts of what is going on in our disgustingly disposable society. It’s about being a part of the solution and not a part of the problem . . . I confess I have a purebred dog.

I adopted him from Aussie Rescue after he was pulled from a shelter. My cats, two fine Heinz 57 Specials, I adopted from Save Our Strays in Huntington, VT. Commercial breeding deliberately brings millions of animals into an already overpopulated world to sell for profit. Please support spaying and neutering for our companion animals. And make a lifetime commitment to your pet . . . Cindy Kilgore GRANVILLE

CRIMINAL PRIORITIES Thanks for your feature on Representative Jason Lorber’s television show, “Correcting Corrections� [“Want to Promote Prison Reform? Host a CableAccess Show,� April 11]. His program addresses one of today’s most controversial social issues, prison reform, with humor and humanity. With all the Republican braying in Montpelier about “affordability,� you’d think the more-thandoubling of the incarceration budget since 1992 would be a primary focus for tax savings. That $70 million could be recouped by releasing nonviolent offenders and by halting the unjustifiably costly outsourcing of 25 percent of Vermont prisoners to other states. Nonviolent offenders could pay their social debts through public works or via direct restitution to their victims. “Tough on crime� shouldn’t mean an undue tough-

BURLINGTON SUCKS!

VIEW TO DO We are so pleased to see Rep. Jason Lorber’s program, “Correcting Corrections,� featured in Seven Days [“Want to Promote Prison Reform? Host a Cable-Access Show,� April 11]. We suspect that there are more than 12 people who have seen the program. Hundreds of people have used the studios at Channel 17/ Town Meeting TV over the last 17 years to hold conversations with community members and politicians about important events and relevant issues. These are then aired on cable access channels and now, with the Internet, shared as audio podcasts to become part of the community record and history. Do we have a lot of viewers? With over 30,000 households subscribing to cable in Chittenden County, we reach into a lot of homes. But community isn’t always about ratings and numbers. We operate Channel 17 because we think access programs can reach the people who care the most about particular issues and who can use information to make change happen — one person at a time. Ultimately, “Correcting Corrections� is part of a larger effort to reform our judicial system — it is one tool in the tool kit of social change, and every viewer counts.

BURLINGTON — Football players at Burlington High School “told me they were going to bang me straight,� says Tameka EastmanCoburn, a lesbian student who complains of being frequently harassed at BHS because of her sexual identity. Just last week, for example, a male first-year student called her a “she-man,� Eastman-Coburn reports. Homophobic bullying, said to be widespread in Vermont high schools, will be a focus of the state’s first Gay-Straight Alliance youth conference scheduled for

“Gay-straight alliances are building respect and acceptance in many high schools in Vermont,� Mulvaney-Stanak notes. “They’re vital in bringing about changes that need to happen, and this first conference is a chance for members of existing alliances to network with one another and to help form new alliances. They can be a great source of strength and support.� Eastman-Coburn, an 18-yearold BHS soccer player, says Outright Vermont has served as a source of strength in her own

Sometimes, however, these sessions are met with intolerance on the part of parents. Last month, for example, a right-wing radio talk-show jock tried to prevent Outright Vermont from holding a planned 2-day series of workshops for juniors and seniors at Missisquoi Valley Union High School in Swanton. Paul Beaudry, the father of a student at the school and the host of shows on WRSA in St. Albans and on WDEV in Waterbury, argued that Outright Vermont aims to recruit youth into “the

Homophobic bullying is said to be widespread in Vermont high schools. April 28. About 80 Vermonters ages 13-22 are expected to take part in the half-day event at the University of Vermont’s Living/Learning Center. Heterosexual students actively opposed to the sort of menacing bigotry experienced by EastmanCoburn will account for a large share of conference attendees, says Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak, director of Outright Vermont. The Burlington-based organization is sponsoring the conference as part of the 8th annual Youth Pride Day, which also includes a speakout on the steps of City Hall and a Queer Prom at the Memorial Auditorium Annex.

TOURISM

Canada Quietly Drops Sales Tax Rebate for Americans QUEBEC — Planning a weekend trip to Montréal? It may end up costing you more than anticipated. That’s because the Canadian government recently stopped refunding the federal sales tax American tourists paid on their hotel bills and some other purchases. As of April 1, Canada no longer refunds the 6 percent federal goods and services tax (GST) to individual visitors. Previously, tourists returning to Vermont and other states could receive an on-the-spot refund of the GST paid on eligible goods and accommodations that cost at least $200 in Canadian funds. A Chittenden County couple who spent, say, $500 on a hotel room and a shopping spree at IKEA could have gotten back $30 in Canadian currency at the border station just north of I-89.

out to pay rebate claims,” added the official, who stipulated she must not be identified by name because she was not authorized to speak for attribution. The Canadian government last year spent about $78 million to

discourage her from making purchases at the duty-free store in Phillipsburg, Québec, just across the border from Highgate. “We’d get a rebate for a hotel room and spend it at the duty-free on a bottle of wine,” Keller says.

Purchases of meals, fuel and services, including tickets for entertainment events, were never eligible for a GST rebate. “Tourists liked this rebate program quite a lot,” comments Eric Paradis, a Montréal-based official with the Canada Border Services Agency. “And we thought ourselves that it was a pretty good program, so we were surprised to see it abolished.” The rebate was axed because “it didn’t meet the grade” of providing the government with a good return on expenditures, said an official with the Canada Department of Finance in Ottawa. “The program was very costly to administer. It cost 10 cents for every dollar sent

They warn that it could further reduce the number of Americans visiting Canada — which is already in decline due to the comparative strength of the Canadian dollar. The impact may be felt most acutely by the privately owned duty-free shops on the Canadian side of the border. Jeanne Keller, a Burlington resident who travels to Montréal about six times a year, says the end of the GST rebate won’t cause her to make fewer trips but will

The end of the rebate “means that money from us will now go to the [Canadian] government instead of merchants.” Andre Beaulieu, manager of the duty-free shop in Stanhope, Québec, predicts the cancellation of the rebate will hurt sales at his small store across the border from Norton, Vermont. “I’m sure it’s going to affect us, but I cannot say by how much,” Beaulieu comments. “Summer is when we get the most tourists, so it’s hard to tell right now.” Tax rebates will still be available on charges for accommodations in Canada that are part of a tour package booked by American visitors. �

VERMONT — What do Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders have in common with Republicans Dennis Hastert and Trent Lott? They all failed a February 2007 investigation on how easy their websites are to use and how clear their contents are. Both Vermont representatives, however, claim the report is misleading, and also that they’re already improving their respective sites. The investigation, which assesses website transparency and accessibility based on 12 categories, was sponsored by two independent web watchdog groups. The Madison, Wisconsin, Center for Media and Democracy bills itself as a “wiki-based investigative journalism collaborative.� Its partner organization, the Sunlight Foundation of Washington, D.C., advocates for web-based citizen monitoring of elected officials. The investigation itself links to the site “Congresspedia,� which belongs to the larger media watchdog site www.sourcewatch.org. In the report, both Congressman Welch and Senator Sanders scored 16 percent out of 100. By contrast, Senator Leahy’s site received 40 percent, the official passing grade. According to Sunlight Foundation officials, the average score was 29 percent. Of 535 federal legislators, 373 received failing scores. Both Welch and Sanders failed in 10 of 12 categories. Leahy’s site failed in seven. Welch’s site failed, among other requirements, to list

Dimmock still worries, “If your college costs $40,000 a year, these local scholarships will help, but most are less than $2000.â€? She adds, “There are scholarships offering as much as $10,000 a year, but they’re usually nationwide, so they’re extremely competitive.â€? Dimmock has good reason to be worried for her seniors scrambling for financial aid. The New York Times recently reported that state per-pupil spending on financial aid is at its lowest in 25 years. While having a college diploma seems increasingly indispensable, tuition costs climb every year, and nonloan financial aid is getting rarer. In the Times article, Tamara Drant, author of Strapped: Why America’s 20- and 30-Somethings Can’t Get Ahead, claims the government “no longer really helps people pay for college — it helps them go into debt.â€? Faced with that daunting prospect, some Vermont high school seniors will no doubt appreciate even a modest contribution from the state’s funeral directors. A little compassionate consolation might be welcome, too. ďż˝

Vermont Leads America on Impeachment

A

s this week’s edition of Seven Days hits the streets and the Internet on Wednesday, Montpelier’s golden dome will be the center of the national debate on impeaching the most crooked, dangerous, dishonest and damaging administration in American history — that of George “WMD� Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington announced at Tuesday’s Democratic House caucus that she will do what she said she would never do: allow the Bush-Cheney Impeachment Resolution to come up for floor debate and a vote on Wednesday. Miracles never cease! A week ago, Symington and Senate Democratic leader Peter Shumlin stood shoulder to shoulder in the Cedar Creek Room and told more than 100 proimpeachment Vermonters from every corner of the state they simply did not “have time to deal with it.� More important matters at hand! Three days later, Sen. Shumlin abruptly tossed his Democratic House Leader over the side and slid an impeachment resolution through the state senate as the day’s first order of business. Took less than 10 minutes. With Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie out of state, Shummy was presiding officer, running the session. The resolution, as you know, passed 16-9, with all six Republicans and three Democrats voting “no.� What few realize is that any one of those “no� voters could have killed the impeachment resolution by making a motion to send it to committee. Under Senate rules, Shumlin would have been required to do so automatically, without debate. Instead, the “no� voters bit their tongues. Very interesting. None apparently wanted their name on the record as the one Vermonter who saved George W. Bush and Dick Cheney from national embarrassment. It’s also worth noting that, in their press remarks the next day, neither LiteGov Dubie nor any of the Republican senators personally criticized Sen. Shumlin for pushing the resolution through. Dubie issued a very brief statement that recalled the loss of a friend on September 11 and stated he supports the president. “I met President Bush when he came to Ground Zero to thank me and the thousands of other workers,� said Doobie-Doo in his release. “The President earned my respect and support that day.� Not a mention about the days since, however. The fact of the matter is, the impeachment movement has been the first grassroots movement we’ve witnessed in Vermont in years. Many Vermonters, including our state’s entire congressional delegation, smelled a rat here from the get-go. Let’s not forget that Vermont was the only state in the nation whose entire con-

gressional delegation voted “no� back in 2002 on the original resolution giving George “WMD� Bush the green light to invade Iraq. Imagine how it’ll read in the history books, eh? And now, the Vermont State Senate is the first legislative body in America with the patriotism and courage to pass a resolution that would hold those responsible for this bloodbath accountable. You know, the most remarkable thing about Vermont’s impeachment movement is just how truly grassroots it is. Not the usual suspects. Most of these folks are new faces we don’t recognize from prior Vermont political protests. In fact, Liza Earle, the 28-year-old baker/nanny from Richmond who has been one of the movement’s key organizers, told us she has “never before in her life been politically active.� Why now? Ms. Earle revealed that it’s the result of her 2007 New Year’s resolution. “I started getting so down in December,� she told “Inside Track,� “trying to celebrate the holidays when I knew this war was going on.� She said she resolved “to stop just sitting around and complaining.� She added it’s “the best resolution I’ve ever made, and I’ve stuck with it.� Thanks, Liza. Obviously, she’s not alone.

Land” blog (which has turned into a daily column), this writer has received an outpouring of good wishes and prayers from a couple hundred friends, acquaintances, readers, rivals and “Vermont This Week” watchers I never knew existed. The good vibes blew me away and quickly lifted my spirits. I also received special fruit juices, herbal teas, blender food, alfalfa pills, books on everything from cancer to Buddhism and CD tunes, chants, philosophical lectures and spiritual journeys, and on and on. Overwhelming. The good intentions of so many felt better than any medicine I’ve ever taken. However, I wasn’t ready to change my “normal” life in some kind of last-minute quest for enlightenment and wisdom. Death, after all, has been a certainty since birth. I was not about to automatically stop being the person I am and start acting like a cancer patient is “supposed” to act. In fact, one impression I quickly picked up from cancer “survivors” has been their appreciation of the preciousness of each day and the people in it, as well as their determination to be themselves and live life to the fullest. What’s been maddening about getting cancer is that not a single one of the medical experts in the white coats have been able to tell me what the hell caused it. What doctors do is diagnose and treat. Solving the mystery is not part of their job description. That’s for police detectives and journalists. And, believe me, to a journalist that’s just not acceptable. Which is why it was my good fortune to pick up the book, two days later, that the state rep’s wife had given me. It’s called Cancer as a Turning Point by Lawrence LeShan, Ph.D. LeShan has done 35 years of research on cancer patients, starting in the 1950s. I was a toddler back then, and when grownups mentioned the “C” word, it was in hushed tones. Quite simply, cancer was the kiss of death. No ifs, ands or buts. In those days, cancer treatment was primarily surgery and radiation, followed quickly by funeral services. Cancer was treated as a local, isolated problem. Cut it out or shoot it full of X-rays. As we all know, such treatment wasn’t very effective. What LeShan learned was that the medical approach to treating cancer had changed dramatically around 1900, when surgery came into vogue. Previously, the best medical minds viewed cancer holistically — and linked it to a person’s emotional life. But with the rise of surgery in the 20th century, the psychosomatic view of can-

cer quickly faded away. In extensive interviews with thousands of cancer victims, Dr. LeShan found something that simply could not be ignored. The single thing that emerged most clearly during my work was the context in which the cancer developed. In a large majority of the people I saw, there had been, previous to the first noted signs of the cancer, a loss of hope in ever achieving a way of life that would give real and deep satisfaction, that would provide a solid raison d’être, the kind of meaning that makes us glad to get out of bed in the morning . . . the kind of life that makes us look forward zestfully to each day and to the future. LeShan didn’t just do interviews. He also looked at the statistics. Widows and widowers, for example, regardless of age, have a higher likelihood of getting cancer. And in men, the highest peak in cancer came after retirement, again regardless of age. As I was reading this, the bells and whistles were going off in my head. The answer the doctors on Hospital Hill couldn’t come up with was right before my eyes. Why did I get cancer? In fact, mine’s a particularly fastgrowing type of lymphoma that, without modern chemotherapy “wonder-drug” treatment, normally results in a quick exit from the human stage. Why me? Why now? Truth be told, I got cancer because I wanted to! I was at a point where I did want to leave the human stage. It had been a good life — wouldn’t trade it for anyone else’s — but something was suddenly sorely missing: hope. It was about one year ago, back in the spring of 2006, that I realized it. Global warming, or rather the cause of global warming, continued to be ignored by the leaders of the strongest, most powerful nation on Earth — mine. And those same leaders remained in control of the White House and of Congress, despite dragging America into its worst military/political disaster in history. Last May, this lifelong news junkie (grew up on HuntleyBrinkley), stopped watching the network news. Couldn’t take the scenes of senseless slaughter in Iraq night after night anymore. In August, I started attending local church services for the first time in decades. Eternity was elbowing its way into my consciousness. In November I began going to a local friend’s men’s group. Wonderful people, got my feelings out, but I still saw no light at the end of the tunnel. Then, in December, I went to see my older and only sister in New Mexico, whom I

haven’t seen in almost 20 years. Why? Something inside me just knew I was going to be checking out soon, and I wanted to say good-bye to her before departure. It was New Year’s night, out there in Sante Fe, New Mexico, when I first felt the lump in my abdomen that turned out to be a fast-growing tumor. Back in Burlington a few days later, I visited the doctor up at the Mary Fanny, excuse me, Fletcher Allen Health Care. Diagnosis was swift and treatment started within weeks. Right now, I’m just past the halfway point, and so far, so good. The tumor has shrunk dramatically and the tests indicate the chemo is doing what it’s supposed to do — killing the cancerous cells. Unfortunately, it kills a lot more, too. No one said it would be easy. But what has really changed in my life is that, everywhere I turn these days, I see Vermonters who have refused to give up hope. Determined, thoughtful, caring people of all ages who simply will not quietly stand by, like the “good Germans” of the 1930s, and watch the illegal murder, mayhem and torture that’s been “legally” unleashed in Iraq and elsewhere by the Bush administration. Vermonters, as “Doonesbury” has shown millions of readers, were not afraid to express that view at almost 40 town meetings last month. And they’re not so busy that they haven’t had time to let their elected state representatives know how they feel. Vermonters also know the global-warming crisis is for real. They want to make the changes needed, both politically and personally, as well as technologically, to reduce its negative impact on Mother Earth for the generations to come after us. I know it sounds crazy, but, for me, getting cancer has been a wonderful thing. It’s forced me to take a very close and clear look at what caused the cancer in the first place. The body and the mind, folks, are one. Never forget that. What’s different about 2007 from 2006 is that the little light at the end of my tunnel is back! And it’s only going to get brighter. The traitorous BushCheney administration is on the run. The times are changing and they’re changing for the better, because individuals in Vermont and across America are taking responsibility. Finally. And hope, I’ve learned in the last few months, is the best drug of all. �

A New Book Recalls the Highs and Lows of Warren Zevon BY MARGOT HARRISON

“I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did,â€? rocker Warren Zevon once said. The classically trained singer-songwriter packed a lot of living into his 56 years. He penned and performed dark, witty, politically aware songs such as “Excitable Boyâ€? and “Lawyers, Guns and Money.â€? He was a multiple comeback artist who struggled with alcoholism and OCD. Sometimes on the charts, always critically acclaimed, Zevon won his first Grammys posthumously for The Wind, an album recorded after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2002. Now Crystal Zevon of Brattleboro, who was married to Zevon from 1974 to 1981 and remained close to him until his 2003 death, has published I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon. It’s a combination memoir and oral history, told in the words of Zevon’s journals and people who knew him. The book appears on May 1, coinciding with the release of Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, a collection of Zevon’s early tracks that were discovered inside an old road case by his son Jordan. Crystal speaks on the phone from Barre, where she’s helping her daughter, Ariel Zevon, launch Local Agriculture Community Exchange (L.A.C.E.), a cafĂŠ and farmers’ market to occupy the historic Homer Fitts Building. Crystal says the impetus for the book came from Warren himself. During the couple’s marriage, they made plans for her to write his story, but she dropped the idea after they split up. “In the first

In the years after their divorce, “Warren became addicted to sex, and I knew it but had no idea of the scope of it,� she says. “He had

week after his [cancer] diagnosis,� Crystal recalls, “[Warren] asked if I would come out and care for him when it got rough. He asked Carl Hiaasen [mystery writer and the couple’s friend] why I should want to do that, after all those years.� Hiaasen suggested that Crystal wanted to write the long-meditated book. “The week before [Warren] died, he called me up and said, ‘You’re going to do this, right?’� she recalls. “He said, ‘You’re going to have to tell the whole truth, even the ugly parts, ’cause that’s the excitable boy who wrote those excitable songs.’� After Warren’s death, Crystal decided that “the most honest and interesting way to tell his story was through the eyes of a lot of people who knew him,� she says. To prepare the book, she conducted 87 interviews and read through her ex-husband’s “meticulous journals.� The result was a 700-page manuscript, which her publisher edited considerably. (She has posted some material that didn’t make the final cut on her blog, Crystalzevon.com.) Some of the reminiscences come from celebrities who were

women that he loved and cared about, but that was separate from satisfying his prurient needs. It was like dropping in at a supermarket for a carton of milk.â€? The liaisons were described in “cold detailâ€? in the rocker’s journals, she explains. Crystal remembers her early days with Warren as a “wild and crazy time, but also a time of innocence, of naivetĂŠ. We really believed we were John and Yoko; we would go on together,â€? she says. “As much as there was drugs and alcohol, violence and heartbreak, there was also honesty. As he went through his life and developed into a public persona, he parceled out bits of information. I was one of a handful of people who really knew all sides of him.â€? Crystal first came to Vermont in 1967, right out of high school, to work at Sugarbush’s Blue Tooth restaurant. She left to follow a musician boyfriend to L.A., where she met Warren. Decades later, when her daughter Ariel was attending Marlboro College, she visited, “fell in love with it,â€?

and found a job in the area. After five years in Brattleboro, Crystal is planning a move to Barre, where she can be closer to her twin grandsons and her daughter’s L.A.C.E. project — a modern version of a farmers’ market that aims to revitalize Barre’s downtown and “link up the urban community with the rural community,â€? Ariel told the TimesArgus earlier this month. The family’s rocker connections generated an unusually high-profile fundraiser for the project. Jackson Browne, a longtime family friend and Ariel’s godfather, will give benefit performances for L.A.C.E. at the Barre Opera House on June 9 and 10. When the first planned date sold out immediately, a second was added; it sold out, too. “We’re really lucky that [Browne’s] giving so much to us,â€? Crystal Zevon says. She notes that the L.A. rocker is also an activist with a longstanding interest in “issues of global poverty and local economies.â€? Browne is stopping in Vermont on his way to receive the Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award in New York on June 11. In Barre, Browne will tour L.A.C.E. with Senators Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders and Congressman Peter Welch. Crystal will tour the U.S. to promote her book this summer, starting with two signings in Vermont and concluding at the Burlington Book Festival on September 15. Meanwhile, there’s still plenty of work to be done before the L.A.C.E. opening. But she isn’t worried: “Having worked on Woodstock ’94,â€? Crystal says, “I know all things are possible.â€? ďż˝ I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon, by Crystal Zevon, HarperCollins, 453 pages. $26.95. Crystal Zevon signs her book on May 1 at Bear Pond Books, Montpelier, at 7 p.m., and on May 3 at Exile on Main Street, Barre, 3-5 p.m.

Glassmakers Bring European Style to Burlington Studio BY PAMELA POLSTON PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

Burlington’s South End has long been a hotbed of creative entrepreneurs. Now, a new studio in town aims to add international style to the mix, with an art form that’s really hot: glass. AO! Glass is the enterprise of glassblowers Rich Arentzen and Tove Ohlander. He’s from Connecticut; she’s from Sweden. His artistic inspirations are Italian/American; hers are, well, Swedish. Before opening their studio in the former quarters of Church & Maple Glass, the couple operated a studio in Oslo, Norway, for eight years. With three young children in tow, they moved back to Burlington — this is actually their third time in the Queen City. Arentzen previously worked with master glassblower Alan Goldfarb and with Church & Maple owner Bud Shriner (who has downsized to a corner of the studio he leases to AO!). The choice “is more about lifestyle,� Ohlander says. “We feel like the community presence is very big here; we tend to work well having community come in.� “Everything in the studio is very friendly,� throws in Carrie McKnight, a glassblower from California who handles marketing for AO! “We want people to come and see what we do — it’s really important for people to see the process, feel the heat.� Arentzen and Ohlander met at glass school in Orrefors, Sweden, in a region she calls the “kingdom of glass� — that is, a glass-factory town where “people have been glassblowing for generations, glass is in the paper every day, and there’s almost something spiritual about the art.� Of course, Burlington’s glassmaking is not world-famous, but Ohlander and Arentzen would like to change that. They’ve settled here not only to raise their

Arentzen and Ohlander met at glass school in Orrefors, Sweden, in a region she calls the “kingdom of glass.� family and launch another business, but also to establish the Scandinavian Glass Resource Center. “It’s a cultural glass exchange with students in Scandinavia,� she explains. “There, the glassblowing style is different.�

Âťvignettes Speaking of new artistic ventures, Vermont photographer John Churchman and his wife Jennifer are opening a photography gallery in Stowe next week. Taking the same name as their studio/greeting card company in Essex, the Brick House Studios Gallery will be just that — a working studio where Churchman plans to teach the craft and science of digital photography as well as make prints on the premises. The gallery will offer his own contemporary, manipulated images and works by fellow Vermont art photogs Steve Goodman, Peter Miller, Victoria Blewer and others, Churchman says. Located next door to Gracie’s on the Mountain Road, Brick House will host a “soft openingâ€? on May 1 and a “grandâ€? one mid-summer. For more info, see www.brickhousestudios.com. Voices, the movie? Yep. The acclaimed youth-empowering musical-theater production The Voices Project, which is based on the writings of more than 1000 Vermont teens and toured the state in 2005, is going to the big screen. That is, after Kingdom County Productions — a.k.a. husband-and-wife team Jay Craven and Bess O’Brien — shoots it this summer. And that would be after KCP finds actors to be in it. This Sunday, April 29, auditions will be held for teen dancers — think hip-hop, modern, jazz and/or ballet — to fill six to eight roles. Auditions for teen and adult actors will be held on Saturday, May 5 — a monologue and song are required for the former, monologue only for the latter. In addition, the filmmakers are looking for teen interns interested in working in any capacity with the film production crew. All auditions will be in Burlington; aspiring actors, dancers and singers must make an appointment in advance by calling 802-592-3190. PAMELA POLSTON

Arentzen elaborates: “In Scandinavian [design], there tends to be a celebration of what is; the Italian style is a celebration of what could be.â€? “In Sweden, it’s a celebration of simplicity,â€? Ohlander adds. Nothing about making these gorgeous bowls, vases and goblets, neatly arranged on shelves around the studio, looks simple to an outsider, but the differences in style are evident. The curious will have to go see for themselves, as the methods cannot be easily explained here. Suffice it to say that one of Ohlander’s techniques is called graal, and its outcome is that graphic human figures appear silhouetted inside the blown glass. Arentzen creates goblets supported by stylized figures he says are inspired by those at the Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo. Like all artists, Arentzen and Ohlander are realistic about the commercial possibilities of their work in the small Vermont market — and it’s “tricky to compete with imports from China,â€? Arentzen notes. He and Ohlander will continue to sell work around the country; they also plan to rent space to other glassblowers and offer classes at AO! Meanwhile, they’ve invited the public to an open house this Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s one place where taking the heat is a good thing. ďż˝ AO! Glass is located at 225 Church Street in Burlington.

Curses, Foiled Again Police investigating a motel robbery in Kingsport, Tenn., got a detailed description of the suspect from the desk clerk. Minutes later motel guest Christopher T. Carroll, 18, entered the office, claiming to have seen the robber flee and given chase. He said he had recovered some of the stolen money, which he handed over. “He was acting as if he was a good Samaritan,” Det. Frank Light said, noting, however, that Carroll perfectly matched the description given by the clerk, right down to the scabs running up and down his arms. A search of his room turned up the remaining cash and pantyhose identical to

He remained stuck halfway up the 130-foot tree for 95 minutes before frustrated rescuers decided the only way to reach him was by helicopter. The Wellington-based Westpac rescue chopper lowered a paramedic to attach a line to Finch, but as it lifted him clear of the tree, it swung sideways and hit another tree, causing Finch additional cuts and bruises.

Witnesses said the 6-foot-10 Babin knocked Jennings to the ground, where one of Babin’s companions kneed Jennings in the face and stomped on his head until he lost consciousness. After Babin, a 2005 nominee for Oceanside’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Award, was arrested, his attorney, Neal Gibbons, stated, “The tension and fighting escalated way beyond his expectations or his desire.” • Walburga Schaller, 76, and Robert Smith, 52, were walking down a Toronto street in opposite directions, both using canes.

Witnesses said the two began hitting each other with their canes and continued until Smith’s final blow knocked Schaller to the ground. Police arrested Smith, who received a 2year suspended sentence, although Judge Howard Borenstein called Schaller’s actions aggressive, declaring, “Despite her age and her cane, she is not a shrinking violet.”

Pandas with a Purpose Researchers at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base in China’s Sichuan province began contacting paper mills to process high-fiber panda dung into highquality paper. Researcher Liao Jun said he and his colleagues got the idea after they found paper made from elephant dung during a visit to Thailand. They believe droppings from the center’s 40 bamboofed pandas will produce quality paper and that its users “probably won’t even be able to tell it’s from panda poop.” • Thailand’s Chiang Mai Zoo, which already sells multicolored paper made from the excrement of its two resident pandas, reported it resorted to artificial insemination to impregnate the female after failing to encourage the male to mate with her by putting him on a special diet, holding a mock wedding and showing him videos of pandas having sex. “He just didn’t want to mate,” said Sophon Dummui, who oversees the country’s zoos. “He was looking at her as a friend.”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, Having seen more than my share of photographs of snowflakes, I recently noticed that most seem to be perfect mirror images. How can the spines on ONE side of the flake possibly know what random shapes those on the OTHER are assuming in an essentially random freezing environment? Why would not all snowflakes be nonsymmetrical masses of frozen material with absolutely NO symmetry whatsoever? Pete Formaini, Ithaca, New York What makes those pretty, feathery patterns in the frost on windows during winter? Amanda Zsuzsics, Eielson AFB, Alaska Amanda, meet Pete. My guess is, soulmates you’re not. Scientists have been studying snowflakes since the early 1600s, and while we don’t know everything about how they form, we know a lot, a fair amount of which I’ve conveyed in this column over the years. However, since many of the Teeming Millions weren’t yet alive in 1973, you’ll excuse a brief review. As water vapor rises into the colder upper atmosphere it cools, and when chilled enough condenses into infinitesimal water droplets, which commonly form around particles of dust, sea salt, etc., known as nucleation sites. If the temperature keeps dropping, eventually the droplets freeze into ice crystals. These crystals start out as tiny hexagonal prisms — the hex shape resulting from the angle formed between oxygen atoms as the frozen water molecules line up. Under the right conditions, additional moisture condenses directly onto the crystal and freezes too. Since the corners where the crystal faces meet project further into the surrounding vapor than the flat sides, they accumulate ice faster, typically producing the familiar six-branched snowflake. Why are the branches identical? They’re not always, or even usually, as you’ll discover if you examine a few actual flakes. The impressive symmetrical specimens you see in books were selected for their photogenic qualities, possibly by Vermont farmer Wilson Bentley, who published a volume of more than 2400 snowflake images in 1931. Symmetry admittedly is pretty common, but there’s nothing magical about it. Crystal formation isn’t random but rather is rigidly dependent on temperature, density of water vapor, and other local conditions, all of which are likely to be uniform in the immediate neighborhood of the flake — what happens to one branch happens to the rest. I’m tempted to say spinning of the budding crystal as it falls contributes to symmetry, just as wet clay spinning beneath the potter’s hand on a wheel tends to assume a

uniform shape, but absent experimental corroboration we’ll consign this conjecture to the drawer. Frost on windows forms under different conditions than in a cloud — typically temperature and pressure are higher and, more important, the ice collects on a surface that may be dirty or rough instead of what for practical purposes is a dimensionless point in the air. As a consequence symmetry is rare. Still, the basic angle inherent in ice molecules imposes some structure on frost formation, which manifests itself in those feathery patterns you see on winter windowpanes or (I bet Pete knows this) chilled beer glasses, which is a lucky thing from the standpoint of scientific study, since they’re much more interesting to look at when catalyzed with C2H5OH.

PROGRESS REPORT Readers will recall my discussion a couple years ago of the fable, repeatedly reported as fact by parties who should know better, that 90,000 Chicagoans died of cholera and typhoid in 1885 after sanitary waste got washed into Lake Michigan by heavy rain and fouled the city’s offshore water intake. Supposedly the epidemic, which would be one of the worst public-health disasters of modern times if the story were true, was the impetus behind the massive canal-building project that reversed the Chicago River and sent the city’s offal to Saint Louis, which was used to taking crap from Chicago. Historian Libby Hill established in her 2000 book The Chicago River: A Natural and Unnatural History that the story was fiction — while there was a big rainstorm in 1885, favorable winds kept sewage out of the tap water — but didn’t know where it originated. Now she does. In the autumn 2006 Journal of Illinois History she reports that it was initially publicized in a 1957 pamphlet published by the canals’ proprietor, the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, which was trying to cast its beginnings in a heroic light. Specious details were added later — in 1976 the district’s boss, arguing for an even more ambitious flood control project called Deep Tunnel, was the first to attribute 90,000 deaths to the mythical outbreak. (There’s no evidence the story was knowingly fabricated, although if not you have to wonder what these guys were on.) What put the thing over the top, Hill contends, was a 1977 front-page story entitled “Deep Tunnel: Monster or Miracle?” that appeared in a Chicago alternative weekly called . . . well, nobody’s interested in such trivia. But in case you’re wondering, the author wasn’t me. CECIL ADAMS

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

Our Bodies, Ourselves, Again

W

ithin minutes of the Supreme Court’s April 18 ruling in Gonzalez v. Carhart, which upheld the federal Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, emails poured into my inbox from feminist and pro-choice organizations. NARAL Pro-Choice America asked me to forward my friends a message starting, “I’m sending you an email because I want you to help protect privacy and a woman’s right to choose.” NOW’s missive reminded me that the organization had fought Justices Samuel Alito’s and John Roberts’ confirmations. It spent a precious sentence on the attempted filibuster and pointed out that Roberts lied about his commitment to the principle of stare decisis, or respect for precedent. From Planned Parenthood came: “We are outraged by this dangerous intrusion into the private relationships between a woman and her doctor. It is simply unconscionable for politicians to masquerade as doctors, dictating what is ‘best’ for women’s health and safety, as though they know more about medicine than skilled health-care professionals.” Privacy? Filibuster? Skilled health-care professionals? Are these words to mobilize the rage of women as the state seizes control of our bodies? Health-care professionals have, of course, played a starring role in the fight over “partial-birth abortion.” On the first round of appeals, doctors helped persuade three lower courts and, seven years ago, the Supreme Court itself to overturn the ban. Not only did the statute neglect to make an exception to safeguard the pregnant woman’s health, but the term “partial-birth abortion” was so vague as to include, according to Dr. Leroy Carhart (of the original Nebraska challenge), as many as 21 methods of terminating pregnancies as early as 12 weeks. Doctors could never be sure whether they were breaking the law.

Privacy? Filibuster? Skilled health-care professionals? Are these words to mobilize the rage of women as the state seizes control of our bodies? This time, weighing the opinion of such “prominent medical organizations” as the Christian Medical and Dental Associations against those of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association, the majority concluded that a health exception was not needed, because there is widespread “medical uncertainty” over whether the banned procedure, intact dilation and extraction, is ever “truly necessary.” This alleged uncertainty is about as significant among physicians as the doubts about evolution or global warming are among biologists or climatologists. For the Roberts court — like the Bush administration that installed it and the Rehnquist court that installed the Bush Administration — politics trumped fact. Still, it was politics dressed up as fact, and disdain for science dressed up as respect. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy even expressed faith that “the medical profession” would “find different and less shocking methods to abort the fetus in the second trimester, thereby accommodating legislative demand.” Apparently physicians’ first duty is not to “do no harm” to the patient, but to do no harm to the delicate sensitivities of Congress. “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

It’s no surprise that the abortion debate has circled again and again around doctors’ opinions and prerogatives. The medical profession — which a century ago seized control of contraception and childbirth from midwives and other female lay practitioners — was instrumental in outlawing abortion. But doctors were also central to bringing it back. Physicians gave some of the most compelling testimony in Roe v. Wade, speaking of women rushed to their hospitals bleeding from back-alley abortions — and of the 5000 a year who didn’t make it. Some of these doctors understood that their profession was implicated in those deaths, since the only way a woman could obtain a “therapeutic” abortion was to submit to interrogation by a hospital board and prove that pregnancy or childbirth would endanger her physical or mental health. Authorization often hinged on a bizarre combination of her fitness to plead rationally and her unfitness to mother — and on the whims of the men on the board. This system was undone by Roe v. Wade, but the ruling did not eliminate medical paternalism in the law. The Court recognized a right of privacy, “broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” The forceful and moving opinion, written by Harry Blackmun, enumerated many possible harms resulting from having a child, including a “distressful life and future.” But the justices also spoke for a compelling state interest in the regulation of medical abortion. The woman’s right of privacy, therefore, would be exercised “in consultation” with “her responsible physician.” In Carhart, Kennedy employs the latest anti-choice tactic: He twists the feminist rhetoric of harm to argue that abortion, not maternity, leads to a distressful life or future. He recasts Roe’s doctor-patient collaboration as a relationship between trickster and victim and depicts the ordinary preoperative practice of withholding the gruesome details of the impending procedure as a subterfuge practiced on vulnerable, naive women. Seen this way, the ban on a particularly gory procedure, of the particulars of which few patients are informed, does not deny women rights — it saves them untold pain. The “partial birth abortion” ban, in other words, is good for women, or, as he calls us, “mothers.” “The Act also recognizes that respect for human life finds an ultimate expression in a mother’s love for her child,” Kennedy writes. “It is self-evident that a mother who comes to regret her choice to abort must struggle with grief more anguished and sorrow more profound when she learns, only after the event, what she once did not know: that she allowed a doctor to pierce the skull and vacuum the fast-developing brain of her unborn child, a child assuming human form.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, writing the dissent, shoots back in fury. Citing cases that she successfully

argued and in which, as Justice, she wrote the majority opinion, she zeroes in on the sexism inherent in Kennedy’s use of the word mother and reiterates the real meaning of Roe and the subsequent 30 years of jurisprudence on abortion. “‘There was a time, not so long ago,’ when women were ‘regarded as the center of home and family life, with attendant special responsibilities that precluded full and independent legal status under the Constitution,’” she writes. “Women, it is now acknowledged, have the talent, capacity, and right ‘to participate equally in the economic and social life of the Nation.’ Their ability to realize their full potential . . . is intimately connected to ‘their ability to control their reproductive lives.’” Make no mistake, Ginsberg declares. The defense of abortion rights is not about “some generalized notion of privacy.” At stake is “a woman’s autonomy to determine her life’s course, and thus to enjoy equal citizenship stature.” Pro-choice Constitutional scholars have long lamented that Roe was decided on this flimsy principle of privacy. Some also regret that the court extrapolated that right mainly from the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of personal liberty and equal protection under law. To many radical feminists, including me, the decriminalization of abortion went far beyond equal protection, even beyond its protection from undue state restriction on life and liberty. To us, it was an act more akin to what the Thirteenth Amendment did: abolish slavery and involuntary servitude. In our first action in 1979, my feminist guerrilla theater group No More Nice Girls dressed in black, stuffed pillows under our gowns to appear pregnant, and wrapped ourselves in chains. Our banner read: “Forced Pregnancy = Slavery.” Carhart is not just about a particular medical procedure. It is not about doctors’ ability to practice medicine — even to safeguard women’s health — unrestrained by know-nothing statutes. It is a threat not just to Constitutional rights but to the most fundamental of human rights: Each person owns her own body. This ruling is the latest salvo by a state that imprisons two million of its people, indefinitely detains and tortures a vaguely defined “enemy,” and wastes hundreds of Iraqi lives a day. It strengthens the terrifying hold of an administration — and its court — on the bodies of others. Or, should I say, of Others: “aliens,” Muslims, poor people of color, and women. In the coming fight for abortion, women must claim not just the autonomy of doctors or patients, but the liberty of women. We must defend not just our health but our lives. Jurists are confined to building upon precedent. Radicals envision the future. This time, we must demand not privacy but freedom. m

[April 20, 2007]

I’m a real big fan of BBQ so I was excited to hear that there was a Southern-style BBQ in town. I went down there and ordered the pulled-pork sandwich to-go and walked up to City Hall Park to enjoy lunch. I opened the container and there was a huge amount of pulled pork on a hamburger bun. They win points for portions, anyway. Taste, however, is a different story. With real BBQ you rarely need sauce as the slow-smoking process flavors the meat. In fact, their pulled pork is pretty much flavorless without the sauce. You see, in REAL BBQ, pork shoulder is slow cooked over smoldering wood chips at about 225 degrees for close to 10 to 14 hours. This process creates a “smoke ring� on the outer parts of the meat. Any good BBQ lover can spot it. I searched and I searched through my ample amounts of meat but could not find it. In fact, I have a hard time believing the meat was smoked at all. When I visit BBQ joints in North Carolina, there’s always smoke wafting out of the joint or a shack attached to it. Big Fatty’s — where’s the smoke??? No smoke, no pit, no “Southern BBQ.� You should have saved Souza’s old rotisserie so you’d at least have a real flame to cook with. I’m afraid if you want real smoked meat you either have to smoke it yourself — my favorite — or go 70 miles north to Schwartz’s or Smoked Meat Pete’s in Montreal.

I normally don’t comment on reviews, but the one written by Rob Mongeon has gotten my attention. I will agree with Mr. Mongeon regarding technique. We cook our pork shoulders North Carolina-style in a FNP400 smoker that runs at 250 degrees F. It also meets all state and federal safety requirements which is the reason you don’t see open pits anymore. Especially with a new restaurant. Nothing is grandfathered in. We burn hickory during the entire cooking process, which is 12 to 14 hours. If Mr. Mongeon had bothered to ask about our technique and equipment, we would have been happy to show him how we do it. His review was not objective, but rather demeaning and insulting. The reason you don’t smell or see smoke is because of a state and federal requirement for our hood exhaust system to send the smoke up to the rooftop of the two-story building we occupy. We were also mandated to engineer the hood system to provide a positive static pressure to keep smoke out of the building. You may not like our pork and that’s OK. Everyone has an opinion, and BBQ happens to evoke more passion and discussion than any other form of cooking that I’m aware of. You cross the line when you make false statements about the equipment we run and then denigrate the dedication and effort my staff and I put in every day to put out BBQ that is old school. If you [prefer] Montreal smoked meat (that ain’t BBQ) then go there.

How humble for Big Fatty to rate his BBQ only 3 stars. Actually it is far, far better... may be the only BBQ worth eating in Vermont. OK — Fatty’s is not perfect. I came Wednesday for the brisket and asked if it was pink in the middle and was told it was. Then, when I ordered, I reminded the server that I wanted the pink-in-the-middle stuff... and what I got was all grey...slightly overcooked. But it was GREAT!!! The flavor compares well to the best of the best (Thelma’s in Houston, TX and L&S in Kansas City). The sauce is just plain wonderful, and I will be back many times I am sure. The collards and cornbread were also great. The chefs and owners of the other joints in Vermont that advertise BBQ should be made to spend a week or so at Big Fatty’s to learn how amateurish their own efforts really are.

aily commutes can be tough, especially when there’s a lake in your way. Just ask Jonathan Nelson. Every weekday at 7 a.m., this software pro steps out of his wife’s car in Plattsburgh, waves goodbye to their three children, and STORY boards a ferry for a 12-minute ride. Then he MIKE climbs into a second car he’s left parked at the IVES Grand Isle ferry landing, and drives it half an hour to his Colchester office. IMAGES Nelson, 31, is one of many northern MYESHA New Yorkers who work in Vermont. Why GOSSELIN would anyone choose to make the schlep? Is 2:59:30 PM this lifestyle a choice? And what do commutes like this one say about economic trends in the Champlain Valley and the neighboring Adirondacks? On a recent Friday morning, a bank of clouds drapes itself over Lake Champlain as Nelson walks across the Plattsburgh loading dock and boards the ferry. There he climbs a grimy staircase and opens the door to a wood-paneled passenger cockpit. Then he lays a laptop down on a wire bench and stares through a row of streaked, squarish windows. On the deck below, a few compact American cars jockey into position. A lone 18-wheeler brings up the rear, and its blearyeyed driver spreads a newspaper across his dashboard. The boat sags for a moment under the weight before lurching forward, toward Vermont. Though he wears an imposing leather jacket, Nelson’s expression is approachable. “I guess the commute is long by Chittenden County standards,� he acknowledges. “But jobs like the one I have in Vermont? You just can’t get them in Plattsburgh.� Nelson works as an implementation consultant at Systems and Software. It takes him an hour and 10 minutes to get to his desk from his home in Beekmantown, a sleepy Clinton County village six miles north of Plattsburgh. Every month, he forks over about $110 for ferry and gas expenses. This comes on top of the $2000 he invested in his ’94 Toyota Corolla — an unofficial “commuter� car that he leaves in Vermont. Out of about 100 employees at the firm, Nelson is the only one he knows of who comes from across the lake. “Most of my coworkers commute about 10 or 15 minutes,� he says. For commuters like Nelson, New York State isn’t just a cheap place to crash. Nelson

has lived in Beekmantown since the late 1990s — he only started riding the ferry in 2005, when he lost his telecommuter job with IBM. His wife still teaches social studies at Beekmantown Middle School, and her extended family lives nearby. Then there’s the lifestyle: Nelson, a fisherman, says he likes the slower pace in the Adirondacks. “It’s a nice place,â€? he notes. “We’re 60 miles from MontrĂŠal, 150 from Albany. The lake’s a big enough barrier to give us a separation from Burlington. You can live in the country . . . but you have access to a hospital if you need it.â€? Other commuters bend their days around quirkier routines. By the time Nelson arrives in Colchester at 8, Gene Tougas has already been awake for six hours. A 46-year-old custodial supervisor at Middlebury College, Tougas has a voice that’s slow and methodical, like a car engine warming up in winter. Sitting in his cozy basement office in the campus facilities building, he narrates a typical commute: Every weekday morning, he leaves his home in Mineville, New York, at 2:30 a.m. and drives across the Champlain Bridge to arrive at work by 3:10. Like Nelson, Tougas values his ride for the solitude it offers. “I use my travel time wisely,â€? he declares in a pseudoserious tone. Then he jokes, “I’d need therapy if I worked in Mineville.â€? Hardly anyone does. “Most of the people I know work somewhere else,â€? Tougas admits. He estimates that half the New Yorkers he knows work in Vermont. His experience reflects a common theme of the American workplace: Of all new employees added to the workforce in the last decade, 51 percent had jobs outside their home county. The number of new solo drivers in America has grown by almost 13 million since 1990. Singular as it may sound, Tougas’ tale echoes regional economic trends. Originally from East Middlebury, he bought his Mineville home in 1999 for $47,000, when he retired from the Navy and moved back to the area. Now it’s worth around $87K, he guesses. Compare that with the average price of primary residence sales for Addison County in 2005 — $222,376 — and it’s no surprise that Middlebury College’s custodial staff includes three other New Yorkers.

SEVEN DAYS | april 25-may 02, 2007 | feature 25A

Family also factors in Tougas’ location. Even though most of his extended family lives in the Champlain Valley, Mineville turns out to be conveniently located between Glens Falls and Plattsburgh, where his two grown daughters live. Tougas, who earns $50K including his Navy pension, admits that fuel costs are an ever-present concern — the commute runs him about $40 per week. But if gas went up a buck a gallon, “It wouldn’t change a thing,” he maintains. His wife, who earns minimum wage at the Mariah Central School District, worked at Ames in Middlebury until the department store went out of business in 2001. “If Ames hadn’t closed down,” Tougas reflects, “she’d probably still be working in Vermont.” For other New York commuters, the daily haul has more to do with pure circumstance than cost-benefit analysis. On a recent Friday afternoon, Julia Turner-Rust, 48, sits in her seventh-floor office at Burlington’s Fletcher Allen hospital. A pair of clean medical scrubs and a tidy row of filing cabinets complement this assistantnurse manager’s crisp manner. Like Jonathan Nelson, Turner-Rust spends about two hours in her car every day. Thoughts about this evening’s commute might be on her mind, but from this height, traffic on Colchester Avenue looks small and incidental. Turner-Rust, who grew up in Plattsburgh, attended nursing school in Florida. In 1993, she moved back to New England for a job at Fletcher Allen’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and bought a house with her husband in nearby Hinesburg. But her husband died later that year, so she moved to Peru, New York, to be closer to family — and free childcare. Turner-Rust, who earns between $60K and $70K, insists that cost “didn’t motivate

Tougas leaves his home in Mineville, New York, at 2:30 a.m. and drives across the Champlain Bridge to arrive at work by 3:10. “I use my travel time wisely,” he declares. “I’d need therapy if I worked in Mineville.” me to go over there.” But she acknowledges that she got a “good deal” on her home: 2100 square feet for $93K. That correlates with larger patterns: According to 2000 census figures, the median value of owner-occupied housing in Clinton County in 2000 was $84,200 — about $55K less than in Chittenden County. Turner-Rust appears to be as baffled as Tougas that anyone would take an interest in her routine. “It can be tough in the wintertime — not my favorite thing in the world,” she says. But she acknowledges, “It really is a part of my life . . . I’ve been doing it for so long that I don’t even think about it.” It’s become part of her daughter’s life, too: The 23-year-old now works part-time at the hospital with her mom, and they sometimes ride in together. Turner-Rust and her daughter aren’t the only hospital staff on the boat. According to an official at Fletcher Allen, 92 of the approximately 6500 employees commute from across the lake. Does this mean they’ve formed a commuter community? Not exactly: Turner-Rust confesses that she knows only about five out of 92 fellow out-of-staters. “And that’s stretching it,” she clarifies.

nurse, Turner-Rust often carpooled with other employees. But in her new position, her schedule is no longer compatible with those of her colleagues. So she commutes solo whenever her daughter’s not working. This scenario sounds familiar, at least to a spokeswoman from Lake Champlain Transportation Company. Since the late 1970s, she’s seen carpooling among ferrygoers drop off steadily. And according to a national study, carpooling shares declined from 20 percent in 1980 to 12 percent in 2000.

Though her fit, wiry figure projects an air of confidence, her direct gaze hints at an inner exhaustion. Benedict’s phrases, too, waver between lucid assertion and somber reflection, as if she were a little jet-lagged. Why so many part-time jobs? Although it may seem counterintuitive, Benedict, 48, says she does it for the stability. “If I can multitask and do more jobs,” she claims, “I’ll never be out of work.” And her jobs enable a humanitarian instinct.

I just hope there’ll be jobs out there for my kids, so they don’t have to drive so many miles. So they’ll stay in their communities.”

Turner-Rust has known some of the ferry company employees since she started commuting 13 years ago. Once, when she didn’t show up at work, her colleagues at the hospital called the ferry operator to ask after her whereabouts.

About a half-mile from Turner-Rust’s office, Maureen Benedict sits in a coffee shop on Williston Road nursing a 24ounce Styrofoam cup. “That’ll keep me going until tomorrow morning,” Benedict says. Tonight, she’ll work a 16-hour shift as a weather observer at Burlington airport. Then she’ll crash at a hotel during the day on Saturday before logging another 16 hours that night. On Sunday, she’ll drive two-and-a-half hours home to Norfolk, New York — just in time for work at another job in her home county on Monday morning. Benedict has three other jobs, all closer to where she lives. But at $17 per hour, her airport gig pays almost twice as much as anything she could

safe, she’s driving an ambulance, running a seatbelt-education program or serving as a substitute teacher at a local school. She also does volunteer work. Last year, she tried out for the Burlington Police Department, but failed the push-up test. Even if she’d made the force, Benedict reflects, it probably wouldn’t have affected her commute. She and her husband pay about $250 per month for their mortgage, so a $1000-per-month apartment in Burlington would be out of the question. On top of that, next year her 18-year-old son heads to SUNY Canton, where tuition runs at $13,535. And her husband’s employer recently cut some of the Benedicts’ insurance benefits. “Now [our plan] doesn’t cover mammograms,” she says. “If you have major stuff, you’re in trouble — so you’ve got to stay healthy.” Benedict points out, “I’m not doing more than anyone else is doing.” In her hometown, she observes, “You can find a house for sale on any street.” Her neighbors make daily commutes to places like Saranac Lake (73 miles), Watertown (80 miles) and Plattsburgh (90 miles) to work in

As Benedict climbs into her silver Buick outside the coffee shop, Jonathan Nelson is locking his Toyota in the Grand Isle ferry parking lot. When he walks off the ferry in Plattsburgh, his wife will be waiting for him with their children, ages 1, 3 and 4. Nelson is thinking of buying a second commuter car so his wife won’t have to pick him up at the ferry once their kids are in school. The family has also considered buying a new home on Cumberland Head — the peninsula that also houses the ferry landing. Cumberland Head isn’t all that much closer to the boat than Beekmantown, however. “If we moved to [Cumberland Head],” Nelson admits, “it would be more for psychological reasons than anything else.” As Nelson and other New Yorkers drive home from the ferry in tonight’s twilight, they might pass, in a 3-mile stretch between the landing dock and downtown Plattsburgh, four empty storefronts and one abandoned factory. And before that, in a clearing on the side of the road, they might notice a wooden sign that reads: “New Homes: $172,000.” �

SEVEN DAYS | april 25-may 02, 2007 | feature 29A

As the carnage continues in Iraq, more and more Americans are turning against the war. Among the conflict’s most vocal and knowledgeable critics are some of the veterans who have served in it. The Philadelphia-based organization Iraq Veterans Against the War counts more than 400 Iraq War vets as members, with five to 10 new recruits joining each week, according to Drew Cameron of Burlington, the group’s New England regional coordinator. IVAW calls for immediate withdrawal from Iraq, full benefits and adequate health care for returning servicemen and women, and reparations to Iraqi civilians for the destruction caused by U.S. troops. In addition to Cameron, Matt Howard and Adrienne Kinne are among the Vermont members of IVAW. In February, they joined antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan on a bus tour around the state to support the Town Meeting Day Bush-Cheney impeachment resolutions. They gathered at the Seven Days office on a recent Sunday morning to talk about why they’re speaking out against the war. The three of them seem awfully young. Cameron, 24, leans back in his chair, baseball cap pulled over his eyes, his fists stuffed into the pockets of his Adidas warm-up jacket. Kinne, 30, wears an IVAW pin on her perky Care Bears T-shirt. Howard’s curly blond hair is still damp from his morning shower. In his sandals, jeans and worn polo shirt, the 25-year-old looks more like a scruffy ski bum than a soldier. At least until he starts talking.

SEVEN DAYS: Matt and Drew, what were your assignments in Iraq? Did you have any day-today dealings with Iraqis? MATT HOWARD: I drove a supply truck for a tank company in Iraq. It was interesting — we didn’t have a lot of interactions with Iraqis. To me, that was one of the first telltale signs that something was amiss with the war. We went over there, and we’re sitting in Kuwait, and I said, “OK, where are our translators?” And our whole battalion didn’t have any translators. Instantly I was like, OK, when we get out to interact, we’re told that Marines — there’s no better friend, no worse enemy. We prefer to be their friends, but how’s that interaction going to take place? We’re not being taught any bit of Iraqi culture. DREW CAMERON: I was in the field artillery unit. We were attached with 4th Infantry Division. We pushed north in large trucks, ammunition trucks — HEMTTs [Heavy Expanded Mobile Tactical Truck, pronounced Hemmitt] — and spent our time going to different places where there were stockpiled weapons and picking those up. A lot of the interactions were very cultural. I have this picture of my friend, and he’s showing this guy how to do the Tupac West Side sign. A lot of the time, because we were rolling around in trucks, we would see a lot of Iraqis. Mostly you’d just be driving through an area. We were hanging out of our trucks with our weapons. You know, like, “Don’t mess with us” kind of thing. SD: What kind of training did you get in the culture. How much did you know about Iraq before you went there? DC: I didn’t have any training. My platoon sergeant was a veteran of the first Desert Storm war, so he kind of took the lead in some of the tactics. But no literature or classes. Or training on cultural norms — what is culturally acceptable, what is not . . . It was kind of hit-or-miss, play it by ear. I remember an occasion at a traffic-control point. A truck was trying to come through because the woman was pregnant, she was giving birth. And our policy was to make everyone get out of the vehicles, inspect their vehicles and send them through. So the men were sitting in front, there were five women in the back, this woman was obviously in a great deal of pain, they’re trying to get to the local clinic or doctor, and we pulled her out of the vehicle . . . A lot of the training we got before we left was, like, how to accost someone. How to put them in submission position, sitting on the ground on your knees, legs crossed, so it’s hard to get up. Where to place their hands. How to bind them. How to detain someone, essentially.

Name: Drew Cameron Age: 24 Residence: Winooski Branch/rank: U.S. Army Sergeant Military Service: Active duty 2000-2004, including eight months in Balad, Iraq, in 2003 as field artillery soldier with the 4th Infantry Division. Re-enlisted in Vermont National Guard and worked as a patient administration specialist, 2004-2006. Currently: Forestry student at the University of Vermont, as well as the New England regional coordinator for Iraq Veterans Against the War.

MH: I was embarrassed about my level of prior knowledge about Iraq. I went in thinking, Oh, this is some third-world country. Well, OK, yes, Saddam was an evil dictator, but yet, Iraq had the highest level of higher education in the Middle East. Iraq had some of the best hospitals in the Middle East. This was a full, functioning society when we came. And when we got there, I saw that. It wasn’t the image of this starving land, this third-world nation that we were told needs our help. SD: Adrienne, you were serving stateside. How did you support Operation Iraqi Freedom? ADRIENNE KINNE: I was an Arabic linguist with military intelligence. Right after 9/11, I was activated with three other people in my unit. We were mobilized at Fort Bragg and attached to an MI [Military Intelligence] Unit in the South. We were intercepting faxes and communications from places like the Iraqi National Congress. We started up at the end of 2001. As we started bombing Baghdad and Iraq, I was basically listening to the people we were bombing . . . [to] conversations, when they were calling their family members, to try to reassure them that they’re OK, and they’re safe. Or they’re not OK, or they’re not safe. Their voices are kind of stuck in my head sometimes. And sometimes I start to wonder how many of them are dead. They sounded just like us. I mean, their voices, when they would call their family members up at whatever hour in the middle of the night — because that was the one time they had a chance to make a phone call — they were so quiet. They didn’t want to wake up their family member too much, so they would be all quiet, and nice and sweet. And meanwhile, we were just bombing the shit out of their city and their country. When I hear [Matt and Drew] talk about how they didn’t have any language training, or any cultural training, and they were going into Iraq with basically no knowledge of the situation there . . . I mean, I’ve done so many classes about Iraq, and written reports about Iraq and the culture and everything. There’s no part of me that really wanted to be [in Iraq] then, but I feel like, if I had been, then I could have done something that was actually meaningful. But instead I was stuck in some building with no windows listening to people as we bombed them. And not being able to do anything about it. SD: When did each of you decide that you opposed the Iraq war? DC: It was a long process. You know, it’s tough to let go of that whole “mission first” mindset. It definitely was for me. >> 30A

I remember someone asked me when I got home, “Do you think we should leave Iraq?” And I said, “No, we owe it to the people.” And it took me a long time to figure out what all the implications of us being there really meant. It wasn’t for the people. When I got out of active duty, it was almost two years to the day when I went to a protest and met an Iraq veteran against the war. He was part of the

unit or our mission, or supporting our troops. When I got out, I talked to family and friends, but I was in the South, and it’s very conservative. I got to Vermont in January. I still didn’t really know how or what to do in order to make my voice heard. I’d done some stuff with MoveOn, and I managed to find out that there were buses going down from Vermont to D.C., for the march in January. So I just got on one.

jumped out with an AK-47 and started firing, so they had to take out the whole bus. Well, you know, the next day, I talked to a guy on that tank crew, and he’s like, “No, actually, they just wanted to shoot it.” SD: This weekend, the media is reporting news on a 2005 incident in Haditha, Iraq, in which U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians. The Washington Post obtained a Marine general’s internal report, charging that Marine commanders “fostered a climate that devalued the life of innocent Iraqis to the

You do what you have to do, because as soon as you stop, it was perceived that you immediately became a target and you were vulnerable. It was pretty crazy to think, you know, if you stop, you’re going to get shot at. So what are you going to do? One particular time, the truck blasted into the back of this vehicle, and we left them on the side of the road. They were obviously injured and needed medical care. When we got to our spot, we were inspecting the HEMTT and everyone was, like, joking about how awesome it was. “Look, they got fucking crushed, and nothing

Iraq, you do not stop that convoy. If a little kid runs in front of your truck, you are under orders to run him over instead of stopping your convoy. This is the policy that’s set in how to deal with people in Iraq. I had this Marine friend who had set up a checkpoint. Car loaded with six people, family going on a picnic. It didn’t stop immediately at the checkpoint. It was kind of coming to a rolling stop. And rules of engagement state, in a situation like that, you are required to fire on that vehicle. And they did. And they killed everyone in that car. And they proceeded to search the car, and

organization and he told me about it, and I joined. MH: For me, it was pretty instantaneous, when we got to Kuwait and we started this mass buildup of equipment and weaponry. I just kind of one day stood back and said, Wait a minute, what if another country did this to the United States? I’m about to invade somebody else’s homeland. And the second I tried to put myself in our “enemy”’s shoes, that’s when it really hit me, that this can’t be right. But since getting out, while I had this sentiment, I felt very powerless. For a whole year I didn’t speak out. I just really tried to bury my head in the sand, and said, Well, it’s futile. Can I really effect change? And that’s when I met the organization and saw that there were like-minded individuals and other people who shared my sentiment. AK: I’d already been in the army for eight and a half years. After 9/11 happened, I was not too thrilled with us invading Afghanistan. And I never thought we should be in Iraq. But I had a job to do. Really, I thought that if we were there doing whatever our job was in support of it, then maybe we could help our military know where the good guys were versus the bad guys, and send out reports to get them information about what was going on on the ground in Iraq. But the more I find out now, the more I realize that I don’t think that ever really happened. So I never was in favor of the war in Iraq, and my unit kind of knew that. My officer in charge basically tried to either get me demoted or reprimand me the whole time we were activated, because he said I questioned things, that I didn’t care about our

I kind of walked straight to the veterans’ area, and that’s where I met Matt and Drew. I’ve said this a billion times, but it will never hurt to say it once more, how happy I am and how fortunate I feel to have met them, and to have gotten involved with IVAW. SD: I was reading your IVAW member profiles online. I wanted to ask you, Matt, about something in yours. You say your “worst fears” about the military were confirmed in Iraq, and you “got to see firsthand what boys can do when they finally get a green light to play with their toys.” What do you mean by that? MH: Well, unfortunately, as Dick Cheney has said himself, the goal of the United States military is to fight and win war. We’re not a humanitarian organization. We’re not a peace corps. We’re the Marine Corps. We’re trained to kill people. We’re trained on these extremely powerful weapons systems. And this tank battalion I was in, some of these guys have been training their whole 12-year, 15year Marine Corps career on these tanks, and, goddammit, they just had this mindset that they were going to use them. And so it turned into a bloodbath. Because they just . . . (pause) I mean, people just wanted to shoot stuff. That’s really what it comes down to. And it was so disgusting to see the aftermath of that as I drove through each town on the way up to Baghdad. You know, at one point, I saw a bus that had just been blown up. And the story was that we [U.S. soldiers] were letting in traffic. We were going north on the highway, but we were letting southbound traffic through. Well, they let this bus in; they were waving a white flag. And at one point, somebody

point that U.S. soldiers considered their deaths insignificant.” Does this statement ring true for you? DC: The way we traveled in our truck convoys, through populated areas and civilian traffic, we had Humvees in the front and large trucks in the middle. And how we went through was to be as aggressive as possible, to drive people off the road. Take the Humvee, hit a car or a cart, floor the gas and push it out of the way, so we can get through.

happened to this truck, ha ha ha. They won’t get in our way again,” kind of thing. It was just OK. It was that posturing, it was acceptable. And everyone was called a haji. Hajis. Haji this, haji that. Just homogenizing everyone into this group. It was definitely instilled, and we fed off each other, to protect ourselves. MH: An American life is always worth more than an Iraqi life. Right now, if you’re in a convoy in

just found basically a picnic basket. No weapons. And, yes, absolutely tragic, and his officer comes by and [my friend] is like, “You know, sir, we just killed a whole family of Iraqis for nothing.” And all he said was, “If these hajis could just learn how to drive, this shit wouldn’t happen.” SD: How have other soldiers or civilians responded to your speaking out against the war? >> 32A

WARRIOR WRITERS Impeachment demonstrators protested President Bush and his policies in downtown Burlington last Saturday afternoon, but a quieter and more moving act of resistance took place that night in an alley outside the Green Door Studio in the city’s South End, when veterans of the Iraq war gathered to read their poetry and prose. Philadelphia-based Iraq Veterans Against the War sponsored the reading; Green Door Studio member Drew Cameron is IVAW’s New England regional coordinator. Cameron is one of the vet artists whose work appears in “Re-making Sense,” an exhibit of photos, paintings and installations from IVAW members, on display at the Green Door through April. Eight IVAW members traveled from as far as Illinois and Missouri for the event, and for an afternoon writing workshop that preceded it. IVAW encourages its members to write about their service to help them deal with their experiences. Their words bring the war home in a way that the news never will. The young men clad in T-shirts and desert fatigues laughed and joked with each other before facing the crowd of 50. But when they read, they spoke of death, dismemberment, anxiety and sleepless nights, of being haunted by guilt. Artist Aaron Hughes, a lanky 25-year-old from Chicago, read a piece he’d written that morning, in response to a writing exercise. The prompt was a poem written by a Vietnam vet, who used the words, “I am who survived, forgive me.” Hughes began his response with the same words, repeated several times, until he was shouting them. And then he diverged. “I am who survived, hate me,” he yelled. “I am who survived, fucking hate me, kill me.” Hughes paced back and forth on the makeshift stage. “I am who helped dirt and dust and death,” he shouted. “I am who drove through dirt and dust and flesh and guts. I am who? Kill me!” Cloy Roberts of Missouri was more low-key. The young Marine vet wore a T-shirt that read, “Make Hip-Hop Not War.” He read a piece about a photo of himself and five buddies, posing in Fallujah. One of

them is now dead, another wounded, the others crippled by their service. “Am I still alive?” he asked. “I might be physically breathing, but I’m dying inside. So there aren’t any Marines in that picture. And without them, it’s just a picture of a shattered city and a devastated country.” Burlington resident Charlie McClintock attended the reading; he served in Vietnam from 1970-1971. He said he was glad to see the younger vets speaking out. “Tell your story,” he said after the reading. “If you can share it and find out you’re on common ground with other people, you can begin the process of reconciliation.” C.R. Warrior Writers, a book of writings by IVAW members, is available at the Green Door Studio, 5 Howard St., Burlington. IVAW art show, Green Door, through April.

MH: Whenever I get discouraged, I always go back to thinking, for every one of us who’s speaking out, there’s, like, 100 veterans who haven’t found their voice yet. That keeps me going.

long tour — well, now, 15month tour. I remember he had a tattoo of his baby’s feet on his arm, because he didn’t get to see his child born; he was overseas. He’s been away from his wife longer than he’s been with her for the amount of time that they’ve been married. And he said, basically, he felt like they were being treated like robots. That was the exact word he used — robots. So I think there are a lot of people in the military who hope what we’re doing and fighting for and struggling for is successful. SD: As more and more vets come home, we’re learning that many of them are having trouble readjusting to life in the States — it’s estimated that between 18 and 30 percent of Iraq war vets are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, for example. How has it been for you, coming home? Are you getting the support you need from the government and the military? DC: How it’s been for me is what I call emotional numbness. Because I came back intact physically, I thought, I’m OK, I should

DC: Most of the soldiers I come across who have gotten out all agree and know where we’re coming from and appreciate it. In fact, I’ve gotten phone calls from people I’ve served with thanking me for speaking out. And you’ll meet people on occasion, military people, veterans of this current war, who are still very much in support of it, and want to see it through. I feel that they’re a very small minority. And unfortunately [they] really come hard-charging with personal attacks, denigrating our service, or saying they’re more hard-core, and we don’t understand this because they saw this, that and the other. “You’ve gotta let us finish it, just give us more time, we’ll kick their ass, we’re not losing, we’re winning.� That kind of stuff. But my reception has been really encouraging from other veterans, and from non-military citizens.

AK: I’ve lost touch with so many people I served with. I don’t really have a concept of how they feel about things. But by and large the people that I have spoken to very much agree with what we’re doing. I wore my IVAW shirt over to upstate New York when I was visiting family — this is maybe like three or four weeks ago. It’s very conservative where my family lives. I was really nervous about wearing stuff that was against the war, but it was just so amazing to me how many conversations that just wearing a T-shirt generated. And how many of them were so positive. DC: We went to Fort Drum, an active duty military post. I had a conversation with a cook, a staff sergeant. He had been in only three years and some change. He wasn’t part of IVAW or anything, but what he said is that he keeps up with what we do, because he agrees with a lot of it. He’d already done a tour in Afghanistan, had already done a tour in Iraq, and was getting ready to go back in a couple of months. I think he was seven months back, and he was going to go over there for another year-

be fine from here. I think I have really started to come to grips with a lot of stuff and get better. And move on. Especially meeting with people like Matt and Adrienne makes me feel a lot better. And being able to speak openly. Support from the military? Non-existent. Support from the VA here in the Burlington area, yes. Specifically, with a weekly appointment just to talk with somebody. MH: I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD. I’ve shied away from treatment recently, just for my own personal reasons, wondering if it is effective. But I know there are services in Vermont available to me. And the people I’ve seen have been really of high caliber, I think. AK: Department of Defense hospitals are so overwhelmed. I work for the Veteran’s Administration now, and this is the first time in the VA history that they’re seeing active-duty soldiers, because DoD hospitals can’t keep up with demand. When I was working at the VA in Richmond, Virginia, I was doing psychological evaluations

of vets returning from Iraq and elsewhere, many of them who are on the polytrauma unit because they’ve been injured severely in IED blasts or car accidents. And people coming through the polytrauma unit on active duty, they were given priority, but at the same time, we were wait-listing dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of other people who had just come back from Iraq and Afghanistan for therapy, or for just an assessment. At the VA now, I’m in contact with VAs all over the country. And the overwhelming thing that I’m getting from people working at other VAs is that they are just so understaffed. We need to hire more people to take care of our veterans. From 2004 to 2006, the number of veterans seeking services in clinics rose

other setting they just wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing. Right now, that place doesn’t exist in society. Again, that’s where this disconnect comes in, where people don’t want to talk about the war. I mean, even as we’ve reached this wonderful point now where the majority of Americans are against the war, it’s still not on the forefront of everyone’s waking thoughts. It’s still, Anna Nicole takes precedence over 150 people died in Iraq. You know, for us veterans, that’s all we think about. You can’t get this war off of your mind. You walk around, and see people just going on with their daily lives, and there’s this huge level of inner frustration with that, how nobody gets it. Don’t we realize there’s a war going on?

INSTALLATION BY DREW CAMERON AT GREEN DOOR STUDIO

from 125,000 to 228,000. This was in the USA Today article this weekend. And meanwhile, the VA staff has increased by less than 10 percent. Those numbers just don’t add up. And, at the same time, we don’t have enough services to provide veterans with what they need, this administration is cutting VA funding. SD: IVAW is using writing and art to help veterans cope with their experiences. Has this been helpful for you? MH: It’s easy to tell war stories, but it’s a lot harder to go a step beyond that and say what you were actually feeling at the time, not just what you saw and what took place. And something like that, a writing workshop, really creates a safe space, where we had guys share stuff that in any

Spring into Action!

AK: That was my first experience with the writers’ workshop yesterday. It was really difficult for me, basically because my brother is being activated in the reserves this summer, and he’s going over to Iraq. Just hearing all the stories from people who have been there, and thinking about the fact that he hasn’t been yet, I wonder what his experience will be like. If he’ll come back at all, or if he does, what part of him will be dead or changed? I really hope that we’re able to do something to change things. And I hope that people who are against this war and want our soldiers home will realize that if they would only start making demands, or start making their presence more forcefully felt by our government, then maybe we wouldn’t have to keep sending people over there. �

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR PREECLAMPSIA STUDY AT UVM Conducted by Ira Bernstein MD

WOMEN INTERESTED IN BECOMING PREGNANT WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN PREGNANT

Preeclampsia and other disorders of pregnancy involving high blood pressure are a leading global cause of maternal and infant illness and death. The cause of preeclampsia is still not fully understood, though the disease was recognized and described nearly 2000 years ago. This study is an effort to identify specific risk factors for preeclampsia which may exist prior to pregnancy and to better understand who is at risk for developing this disease during pregnancy.

WWe are recruiting women who are:

• Interested in becoming pregnant who have never been pregnant • Healthy and 18-40 years of age • Have regular menstrual cycles • Are not using hormonal contraception • And do not smoke

If you are planning your first pregnancy in the next 12 months and would like to participate, call 656-2669 or email Adrienne.schonberg@uvm.edu Compensation is provided between $400.00 and $800.00.

cence and delight outweighed the flaws in this ambitious and moving production of Budbill’s theatrical treasure. Judevine gives voice to the voiceless — plain rural folk whose daily struggles go unrecorded. In Budbill’s “note from the playwright” in the LNT program, he cites his working-class background as one catalyst for writing about northern Vermont’s “invisible people.” Budbill’s great achievement is populating his imaginary town with vividly real characters. Individuals never become clichés. A character named David — a flatlander poet who has moved to Judevine — observes and narrates much of the play’s action. He interacts with many of the townspeople as well, especially the earthy French-Canadian logger Antoine. (In a mid-1980s production, Rusty DeWees played Antoine, who inspired his alter-ego “The Logger.”) Scenes unfold, in town and in the

Judevine has been absent from local stages since 1991, but Montpelier’s Lost Nation Theater has opened its 30th season by reviving the play in its spiritual and geographic home: the heart of the Green Mountains. LNT founder and sixth-generation Vermonter Kim Bent directed the lean ensemble of four men and two women. Moments of incandes-

woods, among two dozen characters. Occupations and locations reflect a jumble of small-town essentials: town clerk, postmaster, welder, truck driver and farmer. Jerry’s garage doubles as a corner store and restaurant. Alice’s junk shop serves as Judevine’s quirky Home Depot.

our town, revisited << 34A

The townspeople tolerate a considerable range of human failings, from juvenile mitten stealing and adult trout-limit cheating to judgmental gossiping and unreconstructed racism. And they manifest a remarkable degree of compassion for those who cling to life’s margins: the exhausted single mother, crazed widow, embittered old man and haunted Vietnam vet. Difficult circumstances forge an unspoken bond among Judevine’s residents. Individuals sometimes judge their own faults harshly, but they forgive and support one another as best they can. Some characters have storylines that evolve over the

aisles. These scenes moved swiftly, while others with more narration than action sometimes dragged. On opening night, however, extended ensemble passages of poetry suffered on two fronts. With some actors’ lines as yet unperfected, the pacing sputtered. And the director’s staging was, well, stagey. It didn’t help that actors had “warmed up” on set, in full view of the audience. The five-minute theater-games prelude felt a little pretentious, and made it harder to transition into the characters’ world once the play actually began. The evening’s most compelling performance came from

together. In David’s passages of pure narration, Renzoni needed to create a more distinct persona and forge a stronger connection with the audience. As Tommy, the troubled Vietnam vet, however, he painted a convincing portrait of the struggle between hope and anguish. LNT regular Mark Roberts 2x2-Aesthetica042507.indd was pitch-perfect in all his roles, as usual. He captured Doug’s astonishing transformation particularly well, from hearty and good-humored to hen-pecked and harboring dark hatred.

course of the play, but others appear in only one or two vignettes. Themes trump plot as characters search for meaning in their own lives and, above all, connection with each other. Antoine sounds like a bawdy, backwoods Noah when he preaches about love, but he articulates the essence of many Judevine journeys: “We were meant to go two by two.” And to go on together, as a town, season after season. Conjuring the world of Judevine on stage presents multiple challenges. In many passages, Budbill’s language retains the rhythms and repetitions of poetry. The ensemble often shares these lines, solos alternating with unison readings. This means that momentum relies on actors’ “playing” the words almost musically, as a string quartet trades passages of melody and counterpoint. Minor fumbles and pauses, which might pass insignificantly in another play, can feel as glaring as a dropped bow or broken string. Using the bare minimum of six actors, as Lost Nation did, upped the ensemble’s intimacy but also gave each person more words to master, not just memorize. In general, the actors performed best in the more traditional scenes: playing characters that interact. Bent’s direction here was economical, with deft flourishes such as making a maze of actors’ bodies to represent jammed junk-store

Abby Paige. Her complex portrait of single mom Grace — ballsy, defiant, scared — was riveting. She inhabited her characters from the inside out: the widow Lucy, catatonic with grief; butch businesswoman Alice, confident and uniquely sexy; and über-prude Edith, hilariously self-righteous. Words and gestures grew from each character’s internalized thoughts and beliefs. Lucy rubbed one palm repetitively against her belly because it soothed her. It didn’t feel like an affectation from the Actor’s Bag o’ Tricks. Ben Ash contributed abundant comedic energy to the ensemble. He had a particular gift for creating sound effects — all actor-generated, as the script dictates — such as Guy’s truck pulling into the welding shop. For the major role of Antoine, Ash affectionately blended swagger and sincerity into an enthusiastic portrayal. Unfortunately, his exaggerated accent was often dialed up distractingly high — past faux to froggy Frenchman from Steve Martin’s Wild-and-Crazy-Guy era. Director Bent should have reined this in, because it detracted from our sense of the funny woodsman’s deep underlying humanity. As David, Scott Renzoni gave an uneven performance. His scenes with characters such as Grace and Alice worked well, but Antoine’s energy overshadowed David in their scenes

Dad’s Day Book review: The Ship of Birth: Poems by Greg Delanty

estating or newly minted offspring are subjects that sorely tempt poets to get cute, particularly when those progeny are their own. You can’t really blame them — there’s something about a helpless infant that provokes the instinctive “Aww” response. But behind the urge to croon and coo is a more solemn STORY feeling. To be where new life begins is also to be in MARGOT the presence of death — not just because of all the HARRISON things that can go wrong in nine months but also because, as that pop diva reminded us, “children are The Ship of Birth: the future.” They lead us to meditate on the darkPoems by Greg Delanty, Louisiana ness we came from and will return to, both as indiState University viduals and as a species. Press, 55 pages. Greg Delanty, St. Michael’s College artist-in-resi$16.95. dence and a recent Guggenheim winner, takes those connections seriously. His seventh book, The Ship of Birth, was originally published in the United Kingdom in 2003. It unpeels the layers of excitement and reflection and dread that surround a child’s arrival in a series of poems addressed directly to the poet’s son Daniel as he transforms from blurry ultrasound image to squalling baby. The book’s epigraph initially seems incongruous. It’s an inscription from the floor of the American Museum of Natural History that warns, “Right now we are in the midst of the sixth extinction, this time caused solely by humanity’s transformation of the ecological landscape.” But Delanty, who organized a series of local readings called “Re-Versing Global Warming” last fall, knows what he’s on about. In a poem with the same title as the collection, he makes the link explicit. The “ship of birth” of the title is the unborn child’s crib, piled with gifts and linens, including an embroidered version of the Noah’s Ark story. Delanty notes how often animal images crop up on kids’ clothing, then asks, Is this saying, unbeknownst to us, that we gather around the baby The Great Circus of the Earth: the flying hippopotamus, the fetus-like manatee, the dork stork, the delirious giraffe, not just for a sappy laugh, but to illuminate their dearth and our sapien dodo-ing as we fish-mouth sorry sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry?

G

In the idyllic menagerie with which we surround children, Delanty suggests, we’re acknowledging the sacrifice of real wild creatures, a loss we permit even as we mouth our comic “sorrysorrysorry” mantra. We’re like a nation of hapless Homer Simpsons, hoping to give birth to eager-beaver little Lisas who will correct our mistakes. In another poem, “For the Record,” the poet drives down Malletts Bay Avenue and observes the countless small signs of environmental pollution with an eye that’s jaundiced but not jaded. Humans, he concludes, are “confused only by ourselves, our ghostly / genes of fear and survival, too quick to be undone / by our invention.” Of course, invention is also something we take pride in, and Delanty isn’t shy about exhibiting ingenuity in his verse. For all their topical themes and slang, these poems also hark back to the English Metaphysical poets of the 16th century, who experimented with unusual stanza forms and elaborate metaphorical conceits. Each of the poems addressed to the unborn child finds and explores a new metaphor, some drawn from world folklore and some from Delanty’s imagination. The fetus becomes a space alien, a dead soul awaiting rebirth, a snowflake, a mummy, a sea horse, a king wearing the “Pelvic Crown.” In “The Fetal Monitor Day,” he’s “our star, train, love wave, treasure and pony” — five metaphors for the price of one. Formally speaking, many of these poems rhyme. But Delanty uses metrical variations and incomplete or assonant rhymes to make this effect subtle, sometimes almost subliminal, with none of the “jingle-jangle” many people associate with traditional verse. Perhaps the most “jangly” poem here is “The Language of Crying,” a droll take on that old French form the villanelle, in which repetition drives home what it’s like to be a parent whose cherished offspring won’t shut up. Sure, there’s some cuteness here, but it’s nothing you’re likely to find on a Hallmark card: Delanty riffs on terms of endearment, calling his child “our little lambkin, waxwing, luckling.” As he moves his focus from ultrasounds to chemotherapy — Delanty’s mother was diagnosed with cancer shortly after his son’s birth — the poems become simpler and more solemn.

What and where is the soul? Delanty asks repeatedly in The Ship of Birth. How and when does the life force come to us? In “The Shutterbug,” the expectant father tries to capture his child’s “soulflake, the forecasted simplicity below / the whole show.” Unable to do so, he settles for hoping the child is “a fur-flake, snug and at home as a fur-coated Eskimo.” Good wishes, Delanty suggests, may be the only sure things we can put in the “ship of birth” — or in the fragile bark that ferries us toward our collective future. m

FROM THE SHIP OF BIRTH: The Language of Crying We’re still learning the language of crying, its parent-boggling irregular grammar. Anybody would think you were dying. Puzzling gerunds beyond the clarifying syllables of raw hunger’s regular yammer. We’re still learning the language of crying. Diaper-changed we take turns rock-a-bying, bawling at each other please, please be calmer. Anybody would think you were dying: a demented king’s yowling, terrifying soliloquy beyond a royal diaper-rash clamour. We’re still learning the language of crying. Christ child, such a caterwaul’s parent-petrifying, hardly a put on, you’re no shammer. Anybody would think you were dying. Is it something you sense? A wordless prophesying? Surely the future’s not teething yet. We stammer. We’re still learning the language of crying. Anybody would think you were dying.

Women’s Work

M EXHIBIT “Masters of Vermont 2007,” paintings by Martha Wood Belcher, Hilda Belcher, Georgia Balch, Ruth G. Mould and Mary Bryan. Bryan Memorial Gallery, Jeffersonville. Through June 17.

ARTWORK “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Hilda Belcher

PHOTO Marc Awodey

asterful paintings by five eminent female artists from Vermont are featured at Jeffersonville’s Bryan Memorial Gallery this spring in the historical exhibition “Masters of Vermont 2007.” More than 100 oils, watercolors and pastels, executed over a span of more than a century, have been gathered for this groundbreaking show. It amply represents Georgia Balch (1888-1981), Ruth G. Mould (1894-1979), Mary Bryan (19061978) — for whom the gallery is named — Martha Wood Belcher (1844-1930) and Hilda Belcher (1881-1963). All worked at a time when women were far less prominent in the visual arts than they are today. Bryan’s “Bird Sanctuary” is a vibrant 20-by-30-inch oil. It’s executed in the choppy, palette-knife style of decorative modernism often found in objective painting from the era of Abstract Expressionism. Two white birds with bowed heads seem to coo before a background of heavily textured, brown and blue vertical bands. But Bryan’s more traditional watercolors, such as the 5-by-7-inch “Mountain View,” are typical of most of the pieces in the show. While all the artists were well trained in a variety of genres, realist landscapes referring to New England’s pastoral beauty dominate this display. Mould’s exquisite pastel “Winter Landscape” is an 8-by-11-inch snow scene focusing on a sweeping hillside pathway in the foreground; in the background are snow-burdened conifers and leafless deciduous trees. Her 9-by-10-inch oil “Winter Landscape with Barn” employs the same device — a sinuous path on the side of a snowy hill. A red barn enlivens the complementary greens of the pines.

The Belchers are perhaps the most fascinating painters of this exhibition. Martha Wood Belcher emigrated from England before the American Civil War. After the death of her brother in that war and that of her elderly father in 1865, she relied on the income from painting sales to raise her three daughters.

All these painters worked at a time when women were far less prominent in the visual arts than they are today. Winter also takes center stage in Balch’s 20-by-26inch “The Skier,” in which a tiny figure appears at the summit of a jagged mountain. While that peak looks more like a Swiss one than any Green Mountain, the painting no doubt would have been popular with early Vermont ski enthusiasts. It’s important to remember the context in which these painters created. All were working artists. Balch, for example, plied her trade to tourists; a sign reading “Paintings of Vermont by Georgia Balch” hung in front of her Johnson home on Route 100C.

Martha’s landscape “View from Fred’s” is a 9-by-17inch oil that seems more influenced by the 18th-century landscapes of English painter Thomas Gainsborough than by the Hudson River School idylls so prominent in 19th-century American art. Daughter Hilda grew up to be equally well informed. She studied with the American Impressionist William Merritt Chase, as well as Ashcan School greats George Bellows and Robert Henri, around the turn of the century. Hilda’s brushwork is brilliantly loose and her compositions sophis-

ticated, as exemplified by the 36-by-30-inch “Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” a 1934 portrait of her elderly Pittsford neighbor Helen Barnes. A pair of New York City scenes with the same subject, created by both Belchers in 1910, hang side by side in the show. Martha’s 9-by-12-inch oil, “Snowscape: Subway Arch in New York,” and Hilda’s 6-by-6-inch “Viaduct in Snow” poignantly demonstrate how mother and daughter influenced each other — in seemingly equal measures. Hilda Belcher is the best-known painter of the exhibition. In a 1995 article in American Art Review, Fleming Museum Director Janie Cohen wrote that Hilda’s work could be seen as “a private world articulated in the finest realist tradition of its time, by one of the most accomplished and successful painters of that time.” The under-representation of women in the arts has been somewhat corrected over the last 30 years, thanks in part to organizations such as the Women’s Caucus on the Arts and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. But the major factor in leveling the playing field has been the hard work and excellence of female artists themselves. Given the impact of women in contemporary art, this exhibition of earlier work may be one of the most important Vermont art events of the year. m

by david thomas

The Battle for Beige Coke or Pepsi? The cola wars used to provide the best example we had of a functioning free market. Whether you bled red for Coca-Cola or were true red, white and blue for Pepsi, most people had a preference, yet no one could really argue they were all that different. It was a perfect competition. These days, the battle of taste rages between Sony and Microsoft, between the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Like their carbonated counterparts, these twin titans of home gaming have more things in common than they have differences. Sure, the PS3 is sleek and black next to the 360’s cool, modern, off-white casing. But once you load the games, the difference becomes a matter of details that most gamers will hardly ever notice. If you want to know how similar the machines really are, just spend a couple of days comparing games available for both platforms. “Armored Core 4” shows the futility of such comparisons. You may find the graphics in the PS3 version a bit more detailed and the screen display a little wider. But once the giant, armored robots rumble into battle, the fun stays the same regardless of the platform. Even the PS3 and 360 controllers follow the same model so closely that switching between the two consoles won’t cause a single hitch when it comes to releasing a flurry of homing missiles at the enemy. Sega’s “Virtua Tennis 3” follows the same logic — two different machines, same game. Whacking a little green ball back and forth across a high-definition net remains eternally amusing, despite any allegiance you may have to a particular game company. If 360 gamers need a reason to gloat, they can note that the PS3 version curiously lacks online play. While playing a computer opponent works well for practice, nothing beats smashing a serve past an opponent who’s in another state. Back on the PS3 side of the argument, Sony gamers finally get access to a 360 favorite — “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.” This “Dungeons & Dragons”-inspired roleplaying game promises to suck up the hours in your real life and trade them for time spent in an enormous, detailed fantasy environment. In the translation to the PS3, the graphics picked up a little extra shine, and the game got a bit of new content. Otherwise, the new version remains almost a photocopy of the original. Of course, cross-platform titles tend to work to the lowest common denominator of both systems. These games never show off the best that either system can offer. And every gamer knows that the exclusives, more than cross-platform titles, really define the machine.

Until “Grand Theft Auto” was on Xbox, PlayStation was the only machine for many gamers. And as long as Microsoft owns “Halo,” you can count on resounding sales of its gaming hardware based on that title alone. Given all this, you can probably understand the recent obsession with Nintendo’s Wii. In the world of cola, the Wii remains as unique as diet orange cream soda. Which One to Choose? PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360? In the end, the choice between these two game machines comes down to preference. While the 360 currently has a bigger game library and better online play, the PS3’s backward compatibility with older PlayStation titles and potential as a market leader keep the systems competitively balanced. In the end, the choice may come down to game exclusives, such as “Halo” on the 360. Or you may want to buy into the system that your friends already own. After all, you will want to borrow games.

theborowitzreport World Shocked That Wolfowitz Has Girlfriend

A

mid the controversy swirling about World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, millions of people today reacted with shock to what is universally considered the most improbable aspect of the story: that Paul Wolfowitz could have a girlfriend. All over the world, from Wall Street to Main Street, reactions to the news about Mr. Wolfowitz ranged from “Who would date Wolfowitz?” to “Wolfowitz has a girlfriend? You have got to be kidding me.” At the World Bank, work ground to a halt as colleagues of the organization’s controversial president staggered about in disbelief, searching for theories to explain such an impenetrable mystery. “I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would go out with the Wolfman,” said one World Bank employee on condition of anonymity. “He may be the second-least sexy man to come out of the Bush administration — right after Karl Rove.” Another World Bank employee, who admitted that he was “dumbfounded” by the news about Mr. Wolfowitz, offered one possible explanation: “Maybe she figured that because he’s president of the World Bank, he’ll always pick up the check.”

Davis Logsdon, who studies the dating habits of World Bank presidents at the University of Minnesota, says that the world “shouldn’t be surprised” by Mr. Wolfowitz’s apparent “magic touch” with the ladies. “Convincing someone to go out with him is no big deal for a man like Paul Wolfowitz,” Mr. Logsdon said. “Remember, this is the same guy who convinced President Bush to invade Iraq.”

Remember, this is the same guy who convinced President Bush to invade Iraq. Mr. Logsdon

Elsewhere, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he has “nothing to hide,” according to an exclusive interview published today in Yeah, Right magazine.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If you hold

your dreams too tightly, you’ll crush their little ribs,” was the message scrawled on the wall of a public restroom I visited today. I immediately recognized that as excellent advice for you. While I’m usually all in favor of cultivating a ferocious devotion towards one’s goals and desires, I’ve noticed lately that your grasp on yours has turned into a manic clench. Please let them breathe better. Give them some slack. Maybe tell yourself a joke about how funny you look applying that death grip.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One of the most demanding and exhilarating transitions of 2007 is coming. Here are five tips to help you get maximum enjoyment out of it. (1) Be an early adapter, a quick study and a resilient improviser. (2) Hang out in places where things are just beginning. (3) Intensify your commitment to the lessons that spontaneity can bring. (4) Be a specialist in uprisings and breakthroughs. (5) Give your generous attention to influences that are pure, innocent and buoyant. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the quest

for enlightenment, no experience is irrelevant. Meditating for days in a mountaintop sanctuary may work well for some seekers, while others are more likely to uncover hidden truths about the nature of reality as they microwave a burrito in a convenience store or play soccer in the living room with their drunk friends, using a rolled up pair of socks as the ball. Even if your spiritual search usually fits the first description, Gemini, I suspect it will more closely match the second in the coming weeks. The secrets of the Divine Wow are primed to reveal themselves to you in the midst of everyday chaos.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The U.S. Army has dramatically lowered its recruitment standards. Since 2004, the number of new soldiers who’ve entered the ranks even though they’ve committed a crime has risen

by over 50 percent. I urge you to move in the opposite direction, Cancerian. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, your success in the coming months depends on you raising your expectations, demanding more excellence, and absolutely insisting on ethical impeccability. If you have a goal that seems to require you to lower your standards, I suggest you abandon that goal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Problem-solving

is highly overrated,” says artist Chuck Close. “Problem-creation is far more interesting.” Whether or not you’re inclined to agree with that assessment, Leo, I invite you to make it your hypothesis in the coming week. In other words, put yourself in an experimental mood, and act *as if* problem-creation is where all the action is. How might your life be different if you were not chronically worrying about the dilemma of the hour, but instead were always on the lookout for the next tricky challenge that will awaken sleeping portions of your heart and mind?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re capable

of pulling off some unprecedented mixing and matching in the coming weeks, Virgo. You could figure out a way to blend oil and water, metaphorically speaking. And you might find a logical loophole that allows you to reasonably compare apples and oranges. But those examples represent only the most obvious ways your skills at juxtaposition could work. You might also, for example, be a matchmaker for the son of a Saudi Arabian oil magnate and a Jewish goth performance artist, or convince the Dalai Lama to have a summit with Paris Hilton.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On December 10 last year, 36,000 couples got married in Delhi, India. The mad rush to the altar was prompted by Vedic astrologers, who decreed that day to be an auspicious time to wed. I don’t know enough about the Vedic system to judge whether its practitioners would also regard the coming weeks as propitious for ritual unions. But my reading of the omens

says that from the perspective of Western astrology, it’s very favorable for you Libras. If you’ve been thinking about deepening your commitment to a trustworthy partner, you’ve got cosmic mojo on your side–not just for romantic mergers, but also for business deals, artistic agreements, mutual oaths and just about any splashy adventures in togetherness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Rob: My plan has been to steal the man I love right out from under his wife’s nose without feeling a raging case of the guilties. Here’s what I’ve discovered thus far: You can only do something like this if you’re not friends with his wife, and if you love the guy so much that the beating of your heart drowns out the drone of your conscience. Any advice? -Scorpio Under a Spell.” Dear Scorpio: It’s rarely a good idea to break up a committed intimate relationship by stealing one of its members, but it’s an especially unfavorable time to pursue that goal now. May I recommend instead that you sublimate the urge by seducing your inner male? It’s an excellent time for you Scorpios to get crazy sexy deep with the part of your psyche that feels like the opposite gender. SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Kay Ryan told the Christian Science Monitor that her poems often begin “the way an oyster does, with an aggravation.” Her ultimate intention, however, is to liberate her readers. “I like to think of all good poetry as providing more oxygen into the atmosphere; it just makes it easier to breathe.” I believe this progression from aggravation to liberation is a strategy you could profitably pursue in the coming days, Sagittarius. If you agree to absorb what’s bugging you, you’ll ultimately create an expansive new swath of breathing room for yourself and everyone around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In

The Book of Thoth, Aleister Crowley says that for Capricorns, the impulse to create can be so strong that it transcends logic, ignores

tradition, and eschews foresight. It might even be “divinely unscrupulous, sublimely careless of result.” Why is this urge so wild? The formula for Capricorn, he writes, is “the complete appreciation of all existing things . . . rejoicing in the rugged and barren no less than in the smooth and fertile.” While his assessment might be a bit extreme, it does contain far more than a few grains of truth — especially as it applies to you in the coming weeks. Given the current astrological omens, I believe your will to create will be relentless, majestic and primordial.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to the macrobiotic approach to diet, the healthiest food for you to eat is that which has been grown near you, or at least in the same latitude. Unless you live in the tropics, for instance, bananas shouldn’t be on your menu. Let’s make that meme your Metaphor of the Week, Aquarius. According to my interpretation of the omens, all your best bets will be local and homegrown. You should pluck pleasures that are close by, and avoid temptations beckoning from a distance. You should trust clues that arrive from sources you can personally verify, and be skeptical of those from friends of friends of friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Summing up his ongoing attempts to understand the truth about reality, San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll wrote, “I am grasping one hair at the end of the tail of a very large tiger, whose exact nature and intentions are not known to me, nor will they ever be. I can only hope to describe a few things about the hair. And I could be wrong.” While this is in general an apt description of the quest most of us are on, I think it’s overly modest in light of your current astrological omens. For the foreseeable future, Pisces, I bet you’ll have the tiger’s entire tail in your clutches, and your ability to extrapolate from it to surmise the nature of the whole tiger will be extraordinary.

film review

Fracture HHH

I COURT ARDOR Gosling plays a deputy DA who puts his career on the line to bring a scheming Hopkins to justice.

n the opening scene of Gregory (Primal Fear) Hoblit’s new suspense thriller, we are introduced to a brilliant and wealthy aeronautical engineer played by Anthony Hopkins. He is so eminent in his field that the NTSB has asked him to locate the structural flaw in a recently crashed airliner after its own scientists fail to do so. He’s also such a cool, self-confident customer that he feels no need to wait for tests to validate his findings, simply handing the agents a single telling Xray before speeding off in his Ferrari. His name is Ted Crawford, and the makers of Fracture would have been well advised to seek the services of someone with his particular gift before they wrapped production. The film itself proves the victim of structural flaws and imperfections of plot that prevent it from being the far superior entertain-

Hot Fuzz HHHH

W THE BOBBIES ARE BACK IN TOWN Brits get the big guns in an action-movie spoof.

hen it comes to cinematic crime-solving, the English excel at tweedy murder mysteries set in tidy hamlets. Even on the grittier TV series “Prime Suspect,” Helen Mirren didn’t pack heat; most real cops in the U.K. don’t carry guns on patrol. So what are the smalltown officers in the comedy Hot Fuzz doing with a whole roomful of them? The short answer is they’ve confiscated them from an ancient West Country farmer who speaks with an impenetrable burr and is also hoarding a sea mine. The long answer is that the movie is a hybrid: a very British satire of very American action movies, which makes no secret of its makers’ genuine love for the genre. At one point, buffoonish Constable Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) bonds with his uptight superior by making him watch the overwrought 1991 guns-’n’-surfboards flick Point Break. You just know that by the end of the movie, he’ll get a chance to reenact his favorite scene from that film in real life. Hot Fuzz comes from the team of writer/director Edgar Wright and writer/star Simon Pegg, who were responsible for the 2004 cult comedy Shaun of the Dead. In Shaun, they spoofed horror movies, with Pegg and Frost as slacker buds fighting off zombies — and, surprisingly enough, growing up a little along the way. Hot Fuzz is slicker, with a higher budget. And that’s appropriate, since the movies it mocks are slicker, too. The camera does a lot of “C.S.I.”-style swooping and zooming, with cold blue lighting effects and ominous rumbles on the soundtrack. It’s all a bit excessive, but that doesn’t get in the way of

ment it might have been. The first half of the movie is great fun. Hopkins’ hair may have turned white, but his eyes have lost none of their devilish sparkle. As it happens, Crawford was speeding off in that sports car to spy on his wife (Embeth Davidtz), who has developed a regular habit of cheating on him at a local hotel with a member of L.A.’s finest. First he watches the two frolic in the pool. Then he lets himself into their room and pokes around. Later he surprises her at home, asks for a hug and shoots her in the head. Police arrive shortly thereafter, the boyfriend among them. Only then does he realize that the critically injured woman on the floor is his lover, since they’ve never exchanged their real names. The husband informs the officer in no uncertain terms that he shot her, but he keeps his knowledge of the affair to himself. Meanwhile, at the DA’s office, a young hotshot played by Ryan Gosling is days away from starting with a top private law firm. His boss decides to dump the case on his desk as a little farewell gift. Even with one foot out the door, Gosling’s Willy Beachum figures it won’t tie up much of his time. The matter seems open and shut. Authorities have the gun Hopkins was holding, shells from the crime scene and a signed confession. Imagine Gosling’s surprise, then, when Hopkins arranges to represent himself and gets all charges dropped without breaking a sweat. I won’t spoil the fun by going into the details of how he does this. Suffice it to say he’s a move or five ahead of every-

some well-written patter delivered in the solemnly silly style of Monty Python. Small, wiry Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, the very best cop on the London force, an officer so doggedly dedicated that his superiors realize he’s making everyone else look bad. So they give him a promotion and transfer him to Sandford, an idyllic, stone-cathedral village that hasn’t seen a murder in 20 years. There Angel wastes no time in rounding up under-age drinkers at the pub — i.e., most of its patrons — and

body else involved. Beachum’s not accustomed to getting his courtroom clock cleaned by an old guy with no legal training. He finds himself jeopardizing his cushy new job to hang around and see justice served. Which, for about an hour, makes for first-rate film fun. Nobody does the brainy maniac better than Sir Anthony, of course. As he demonstrated last year in Half Nelson, Gosling can be terrifically compelling when he portrays a character grappling with inner conflict. The two have chemistry to spare, and the script by Daniel Pyne and Glenn Gers features some of the best, in places some of the funniest, dialogue I’ve heard this year. Then things start to fall apart. The picture loses nearly all its momentum in the second act. Implausibilities mount: No explanation is given, for example, for the cuckolded genius’ acquisition of the key to his wife’s hotel room. Crucial components of the character’s master plan can be seen in retrospect to rely on coincidence and chance. Of all the cops in the LAPD, how could he have known his wife’s lover would be among the handful sent to his house? Hopkins explains to Gosling that he banked on the latter’s being too preoccupied with the prospect of his new job to prepare properly for the trial — but he can’t explain how he could possibly have known the young man would be assigned by the DA’s office in the first place. One of the most damning examples of this problem involves the climactic legal twist. Again, I don’t want to give away too much. Let’s just say that, for an intellectual giant, Hopkins is unbelievably clueless when it comes to how double jeopardy works. On balance, Fracture is front-loaded with enough good stuff to make it worth seeing. It’s just too bad that what might have been a legal thriller of distinction proves in the end to be pretty much equal parts trial and error. RICK KISONAK

taking a drunk driver into custody. The lush turns out to be Constable Butterman, who’s also the son of Angel’s new boss. Having spent his life in Sandford, this amiable wastrel, who can’t shoot straight, wishes he could see some “proper action and shit.” He becomes Angel’s partner and ally against a stationhouse full of yokels who call him “Nichol-arse” and classify every death, no matter how suspicious, as an accident. Soon they’re on the trail of a black-cowled killer who may or may not be linked to a supermarket owner, played by former James Bond Timothy Dalton as so moustache-twirling and unctuous that he might as well have EVIL tattooed on his forehead. Hot Fuzz moves at a breakneck pace, with so many throwaway sight gags that it sometimes feels like a live-action version of “The Simpsons.” (Cartoonish violence and gore abound, too.) Some jokes work; others don’t. But when it reaches the last act, where many high-concept comedies falter, Hot Fuzz kicks into high gear. The mystery is solved cleverly, and the climax is what critics like to call “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride” — a phrase the movie mocks. A bring-the-kids comedy like Wild Hogs this ain’t. It’s not a brilliant satire, either — these days, many action movies can’t even take themselves seriously. But if you can’t help giggling at the notion of little old knitting-circle ladies blasting away with big guns in slow-mo à la John Woo, this one’s for you. MARGOT HARRISON

This is because Laini Fondiller, farmer & cheese maker, has been resting her goats (this means no milking) since the fall. After a nice long winter rest, the goats are frolicking and grazing on pasture again making them very happy.

Real Mexican Feasting — or not — with Vermont’s immigrant farm workers by MIKE IVES

I

n Mexico, they say Hay mĂĄs tiempo que vida. Literally translated, the maxim means, “There is more time than life.â€? But to 26-year-old Jorge and his younger brother Gustavo (not their real names), that probably sounds like wishful thinking. Aside from weekly interactions with local volunteers, the frenetic pace of the men’s seven-day workweek on a Vermont dairy farm is rarely

something of an oddity in Mexico. “At home,� Jorge clarifies, “you live with your family until you get married.� It’s no surprise, then, that the only visible food in this kitchen is a half-empty bottle of vegetable oil, a tin of hot cocoa and a blistering peeled onion. A stack of day-old dishes rises precariously from the sink. As a former ESL teacher, I’m not surprised by the haphazard appearance of the men’s domestic environment — or, for that matter, their indifference to it. Jorge and

Gustavo grins sheepishly as Jorge explains that they sometimes call their mother and sisters in mexico for advice on cooking chicken. “But it never comes out the same!� Jorge adds. broken by anything but sleep. And meals. “In Mexico, you work, then you come home to eat,� Jorge says in a chatty Spanish while tracing circles on his kitchen table. It’s Thursday afternoon, and the brothers are enjoying a two-hour lunch break after their first milking shift, which started at 5 a.m. But spare hours, for undocumented migrant workers, rarely translate into elaborate feasts. “In Mexico,� Jorge points out, “it’s not customary for men to cook.� As the only two Mexican workers on this Champlain Valley dairy farm, Jorge and Gustavo occupy a peeling house a few yards from the milking barn. Two bros in a crash pad? Only sort of: Our iconic American image of the Single Bachelor would be regarded as

Gustavo smirk when asked about their cooking, as if it’s the first time they’ve stopped to think about it. “Some of the other [Mexican workers] like to cook and clean,� Jorge observes. “I might, too, if I had the time.� Jorge, friendly and mustachioed, has worked on four other Vermont dairies: I consider him to be the de facto spokesman for his reserved, 20 year-old brother. But apparently Gustavo is the more seasoned traveler. He left his home in the state of Tabasco at 15 to do manual labor in Atlanta, then moved to Vermont last November. Gustavo grins sheepishly as Jorge explains that they sometimes call their mother and sisters in Mexico for advice on cooking chicken. “But it never comes out the same!� Jorge adds.

In fact, there’s a serious side to Jorge’s breezy anecdotal commentary. Both men admit that their lack of culinary know-how sometimes gets them into gastronomic trouble. “In Mexico, I never got sick — maybe a sniffle or a head cold,� Jorge says. “Here, I get stomach aches.� Midway through our conversation, Gustavo rises abruptly and retires to his bedroom. “He has a fever,� Jorge explains. “He needs to rest before our next shift.� Two days later, I see the brothers again — but this time, in a quaint, wood-

beamed local church. It’s Saturday in midApril, and sunny — the first spring-like day of the year. Blueish light filters in through stained-glass windows. An American flag hangs limply on the altar beside a marble statue of the Virgin Mary. This monthly gathering has been organized by a countywide coalition of farm owners and worker advocates. Of the 30 people in attendance, perhaps 10 are Mexican, and most of them sit together in the back rows. Despite their jeans and denim jackets, these >> 0 B

young men look pretty spiffy — slicked-back hair, tucked-in shirts, a few fancy watches. Jorge brought his Nike hat, but has removed it out of respect. A local pastor begins the ceremony in near-perfect Spanish, and the men follow his directions to rise, then kneel. Every few minutes, a local gringa by the altar strums chords on a guitar, and a female farm worker shakes a rattle in accompaniment. Her small daughter — a legal U.S. resident — clutches at her Sunday dress and stares into the crowd with big eyes.

Then the food gets ladled out into plastic soup bowls and plates. I return to my place at the table with a bowl of hot dog soup and a stack of three tortillas — the closest approximation of a “traditional” Mexican meal I can assemble. For each bite, I tear off a chunk of tortilla and use it as a kind of spoon, as I was once instructed to do in southern Mexico. After a minute of slurping, I look up at Jorge and Gustavo to see how they’re enjoying their meal. “Ya comí,” Jorge explains quietly, as he picks at a slice of chocolate cake. (I ate before I came.) “¿Qué comiste?” I ask, baffled. (What did you eat?) “Chuletas.” (Cutlets.) “¿De qué?” (What kind?) “Cerdo.” (Pork.) “Oh,” I say. “¿Y Gustavo?” (And what about Gustavo?) Though his patrona gave him some rare time off this week to recover from his fever, Jorge’s brother still looks a little pallid. “La verdad es . . . no tengo hambre,” Gustavo divulges. (The truth

The professor adds that it’s easier to apply for one from within the U.S., rather than once you’ve already returned to Mexico. Both men politely decline the assistance. Gustavo, for one, lost all his papers in Georgia, so he no longer qualifies. Jorge carries a Mexican voter registration card, but isn’t interested; he plans to return home in July. By now, it’s early afternoon. Most of the churchgoers have already filed out of the hall and into the street. Sunlight streams through the windows, and the air inside feels stuffy on the backs of our necks. Summer heat in Vermont will be more intense than in the brothers’ more temperate homeland. “Ya te cansaste?” the professor asks Jorge, whose figure is now back-lit by the windows. (Are you tired of living here?) “No . . . ” Jorge lowers his head. “No estás contento?” (Are you unhappy?) “No, tampoco . . .” he corrects. (No, it’s not that either.) Jorge looks up. Then he says in a voice that’s plaintive, but not quite despondent, “No es lo mismo.” (It just isn’t the same.) >

Just before the pastor says grace, Jorge and Gustavo’s employer brings out a tray of Italian-style chicken and a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce. “I know Jorge and Gustavo love Italian,” she asserts. “Whenever I bring them to Subway, they always order meatball grinders.” It turns out that she also brought the tortillas — but only by chance. “I happened to see those when I was out shopping, and I know they’re the ones the men like,” adds this

“Te comparto mi mesa . . . te comparto mi pan . . . ” they sing. (I share my table with you . . . I share my bread . . .). The Mexicans hum along shyly. Every few minutes, Jorge and Gustavo snicker quietly to each other over some brotherly secret. I wonder, What are they laughing about? After the service, the crowd filters into a nearby community hall for a potluck supper. But the spread awaiting them is a far cry from “authentic” Mexican — whatever that means, in this climate. Instead, the dishes illustrate a buffet of cultural ironies. A Mexican-émigré college professor, I learn, provided the French bread and smoked salmon. Another brought a carton of Dunkin’ Donuts. One farm owner baked a chicken pot pie. There’s also a steaming array of Thanksgiving-like side dishes and sweets: cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, two kinds of chocolate cake. Of course, there are a few Mexican, or at least “Mexican,” touches. In the center of the spread sits a spicy, broth-like soup with chopped-up pieces of hot dog, prepared by the female Mexican farm worker. By the salmon are a few stray jalapeños and diced onions — a customary garnish for countless Mexican dishes. Next to

Wanna Buy a Restaurant? entrees and exits

Starting in May, Vermonters will no longer be able to “eat good food” — at least not at Eat Good Food Grill, Bar & Deli in Middlebury. Owner Tara Vaughan-Hughes says she’ll be closing the hip restaurant on Sunday. She hopes to sell it as a turnkey operation. “It’s all new equipment,” she reports. Six months ago, Vaughan-Hughes was operating two Eat Good Food restaurants. She sold the original one — in Vergennes — to focus on the Middlebury location, but the profits didn’t roll in fast enough. “We’re right at the beginning of what would be a good season, and that’s heartbreaking,” says Vaughan-Hughes. “We’ve run out of capital and run out of energy.”

TaRa VauGHan-HuGHES

She believes that a high-end restaurant in Middlebury could work: “What I would do is start putting burgers on the menu, put a TV over the bar, make it accessible to everybody . . . it requires more re-jigging, and that always requires money,” she explains. Everything in the store’s gourmet grocery section is on sale through the end of the week. Looking for a business closer to B-town? The Old Brick Café on Rt. 2 in Williston is also up for grabs. Owner Dave Herskowitz is hoping to find either a buyer or an operating partner. Why the shift? “My background is in construction and real estate and stuff,” says Herskowitz. While he enjoyed renovating the building — for which he won a historic preservation award — the life of a restaurateur is not for him. “I’d just as soon turn it over to someone who’s a little more passionate,” he explains. Herskowitz hopes whoever takes over will consider serving dinner — now the café offers breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. Besides chain restaurants and a few ethnic joints, “There’s absolutely nothing until you get to Richmond,” he gripes. “That’s the reason I was looking for a place to make into a café originally.” Until he finds a partner, lessee or buyer, the business will continue to operate as usual.

Smoky Souza’s new spot too hot?

The joke is that Chef Kelly Q. Dietrich will do anything for publicity. Four fire trucks showed up on Thursday, April 12, for the “soft opening” of his new Burlington restaurant, Souza’s Brazilian Steakhouse. Eateries often opt to launch quietly — and without advertising —in order to “train the staff and work out all the kinks.” Smart move. “We ran into a pretty big kink,” Dietrich declares. The smoky, traditional cooking method he employs was apparently too much for the ventilation system’s motor to handle. “The kitchen filled up with smoke, so we opened the window,” Dietrich reports. “And then . . . the whole building filled up with smoke.” Dinner was officially over when the fire department arrived on the corner of St. Paul and Main streets. “Over the weekend we put in a whole new exhaust system,” says Dietrich. “It’s actually

overkill now. The fire marshal gave us his stamp of approval.” The restaurant re-opened for dinner last Wednesday, and is now serving lunch, too. Aside from the new digs, the restaurant added a couple of new features since it moved up Main Street. “We went ahead and built this giant salad bar that’s got, like, 40 items on it; it’s not just broccoli florets and carrot sticks,” Dietrich says. Sounds like the new incarnation has more for those who don’t eat carne. Dietrich is also proud of the restaurant’s fully stocked, mobile bar. It allows servers to make tableside drinks, such as the house special “Caipirinha.” While the name might evoke flesheating Amazonian fish, it’s actually a blend of Brazilian rum, fresh lime juice and sugar.

barack gets a “barick”

Think politics are cheesy? So does Laini Fondiller, owner of Lazy Lady farm in Westfield and creator of a washed-rind, cow’s-milk confection called “Barick Obama.” The cleverly named, brickshaped cheese has garnered mentions on numerous blogs, such as Chowhound and The Queso Files. It also made an appearance in the Philadelphia Weekly. More importantly, Fondiller says, the Illinois senator has seen it. “They have a photo of him with it,” she boasts, “in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was campaigning.” Fondiller has a penchant for naming her animals after political figures. She has a boar named “Brownie,” ’cause he “does a heck of a job.” She had a goat named Harriet Miers, after Bush’s former White House counsel, but things didn’t work out. “She’s in kielbasa land now,” says Fondiller. “Barick” is the only politically named cheese on her current roster. Although a few, extra-ripe samples of the cheese may still be on the market, Fondiller isn’t making more until December. She crafts “Barick” December through February from cow’s milk bought from neighboring farms. So if you find a stinky sample hanging around, don’t assume it’s a reflection of Fondiller’s feelings about the

When the cheese was young, it was “middle-of-the-road” in flavor, she claims. “Obama and Edwards are my favorites,” she opined. “I’d like to see that as a ticket.” What about Hillary Clinton? “She needs to get her act together,” suggests Fondiller.

n Vermont, thousands of miles from the land of mariachi music and mole sauce, good south-of-the-border cuisine is hard to come by. But if you happen to be in or around Woodstock — near the Killington ski resort and only 10 minutes from Interstate 89 — Gusanoz, which proudly features authentic Mexican recipes, is worth a visit. “Ninety percent [of what we serve] is the food I grew up eating,” declares co-owner Maria Limon, a Mexican native. At Gusanoz — named after the caterpillar in the mescal bottle — diners are greeted by a blast of peppy Mexican music from the speakers and enticing aromas from the kitchen. Colorful photographs and tapestries hang on the walls, and streamers of flags advertising Corona and other libations crisscross the ceiling over the bar and dance floor. The bartenders serve up 20 kinds of tequila and “every Mexican beer that is available.” Non-alcoholic options include exotic fruit sodas and Mexican Coke, as well as a drink made from hibiscus called Jamaica, pronounced “ha-ma-ike-ah.” The menu, which boasts homemade sauces and traditional recipes, promises tantalizing tastes to come. These are the flavors of Limon’s childhood in Gomez Palacio, a city in the Durango region of north central Mexico. Limon, 40, came to the United States in the early 1980s. “I did work illegally at the beginning,” she confides. With a family back home that was in “a good position financially,” she had no intention of staying. “But I was young and I wanted the adventure.” When she got pregnant, though, her feelings about residency began to change. “I wanted my kid to have better opportunities than I did.” Thanks to Reagan’s amnesty program, Limon now holds a green card, and she and her second husband, Nick Yager, share ownership of two successful Mexican eateries: the flagship Gusanoz in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and the quieter, more seasonal Woodstock locale. Limon’s introduction to the restaurant business began at a small taco stand in her native land. “Mom was a housewife . . . a great cook,” she boasts. The youngest of seven sisters, Limon took charge of the stand when

she was very young. How was business? “It paid the mortgage,” she reports matter-of-factly. But even though she loved spending time in the kitchen with her mother, she never imagined cooking as a vocation — her plans were much bigger. “I was going to be the president of Mexico,” she says with a laugh. Yager entered the kitchen young, too. At 12, he took a job washing dishes in a New Hampshire diner. “It wasn’t a financial necessity,” he claims. “Both my parents worked at DartmouthHitchcock. It was more out of my desire to be in the industry.” After moving up the ladder to work as a prep cook and baker, Yager took time off from the stove and joined the military. Tours of duty in Korea and Saudi Arabia expanded his palate. After finishing his tour of duty in El Paso, Texas, Yager got a job at the ultra-efficient Applebee’s International, Inc. That’s where he met Limon: Following stints at Mexican momand-pop places in Seattle, she’d moved south to be near her ailing mother. In 1997, Yager got an R&D job with a deli chain called Schlotzsky’s. After moving with the company several times, the duo decided to settle in a place with better school systems: New Hampshire, Nick’s old stomping ground.

There Limon continued working for Applebee’s, as a general manager. “Sometimes I had to do a lot of things I didn’t agree with. Not that there was anything wrong with it; it just wasn’t me,” she explains. “I decided to leave the corporate world.” Yager and Limon knew they had the chops to open their own restaurant, and Yager “was creative putting money together.” But the proposition was risky. “Big pay cut, no benefits, we sacrificed a lot,” Limon says, “but it was a dream that we had.” In 2005, the pair opened Gusanoz in Lebanon. Their madefrom-scratch ethic resulted in long lines and repeat customers. After a year, they opted to bring the burritos to Woodstock. New business ops followed. The pair peddles imported Mexican goods at both restaurants and on their website. Offerings include hot sauces, corn flour, tortilla presses and chile-coated Mexican candy. And they sell freshmade products, such as tamales and enchiladas, to food coops in Hanover and Lebanon. But in Vermont, to get the real deal you’ve got to go to the restaurant. As soon as guests are seated, servers deliver baskets of warmed tortilla chips. These come with a duo of homemade salsas. On one particular Thurs-

day, the salsa roja was a bit too salty, but the salsa verde was a perfect blend of piquancy, salinity and heat. Luckily for those who overindulge, horchata, a cooling Mexican beverage, can assuage a tortured tongue. The secret soothing ingredient is homemade rice milk. Limon’s recipe involves soaking rice in water and whirling the mixture in a blender until smooth. It’s finished off with a mixture of condensed milk, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar, and served over ice. The drink is subtly sweet, pleasantly chilled and just cinnamon-y enough. There are two traditional Mexican soups on the menu: caldo tlalpeno, a chicken soup with chickpeas, and pozole. Legend has it that the Aztecs and the Tonaltecas people of Jalisco, Mexico, served pozole soup made from human flesh. The tamer version at Gusanoz features chunks of pork and hominy — kernels of corn from which the outer hull and the germ have been removed. The fragrant broth is spiced with chili peppers, and arrives with shred-

ded cabbage and chopped onion mix-ins on the side, and a couple wedges of refreshing lime. Chicken mole is another authentic offering, but Limon confesses that the restaurant uses bottles of Doña Maria mole sauce — “like my mom used to,” she notes. The cooks at Gusanoz add a few more ingredients to give the product a distinctive twist. Traditional moles, of which there are many varieties, often call for more than 20 ingredients. These components are toasted, blackened, peeled and ground up to make the complex topping. That might be too much work when serving gringos who are more likely to order a taco salad or the strikingly non-Mexican “Gusanoz buffalo chicken sandwich.” Maybe. But in spite of its grocery-store origins, the mole is dark, rich and smoky. All of the standard platos are available, too, such as burritos, fajitas, flautas and chimichangas. Combination plates let you mix and match, and include the required refried beans and rice. Multiple filling and sauce combinations make for some tricky

choices. There’s a meat-free spinach and mushroom filling for vegetarians, and also ground beef or shredded beef, pork and chicken. Certain dishes come with your pick of red sauce, green sauce or mole. The homey refried beans are mild in flavor and topped with cheese. The rice is startlingly orange from being cooked in tomato sauce. Both the pork tamal — also spelled tamale — and a chicken enchilada with red sauce are flavorful without being too spicy for the American palate. The tostada is somewhat less exciting. The taste of the homemade “mild” sauce is lost under a mound of shredded lettuce, California olives and out-of-season tomatoes. In retrospect, a burrito “borracho” with “drunken salsa” would have been a more exciting choice. Guests will likely leave with leftovers, especially if they try to save room for a sweet serving of egg-y flan, sopapillas or fried ice cream. Unfortunately, none of the approximately 2000 undocumented Mexican workers in Vermont is likely to get a taste

of Gusanoz. For fear of getting deported, the immigrants who live in the Green Mountains can’t leave their farms to feast on tacos al pastor, corn tortillas with marinated, thinly-sliced pork, or arroz con camarones, shrimp with peppers and mushrooms over rice and cheese. Nor can they work at the restaurant. “I would love to have more Mexican people,” Limon says regrefully. “I have people who come in and ask for a job, and I know they can make homemade tortillas all day long by hand. But unfortunately, those people don’t have papers to work, and I can’t compromise my own stay in the United States.” Yager chimes in, “We would love to see a guest worker program.” But until that happens, or Patrick Leahy’s bill to legalize these immigrants becomes law, visitors to Gusanoz will have to make do with store-bought tortillas. Although they make their own for Cinco de Mayo, “We can’t do that every day,” says Limon. >

RAP IT UP, WE’LL TAKE IT

Burlington’s thriving hip-hop community will no doubt be psyched about the show at Club Metronome on Thursday, April 26. Presented by GTD, a local rap-centric production company, the concert features whipsmart wiseass Devin the Dude, the Cunninglynguists, Burnt MD, Jake the Snake, Dark Cloud and VT Union. Texas-based Devin the Dude has been making strange and soulful music since the 1990s. Humor plays a major part in his rhyme style, which could be why he’s been called “the Richard Pryor of hip-hop.” Dev even convinced Outkast’s André 3000 to actually rap on a track again — not an easy thing to do, considering his recent preference for crooning weirdo slow jamz. The tune is called “What a Job,” and it can be heard at www.MySpace.com/DevintheDude. The Dude has been collecting stellar reviews for his latest disc, Waitin’ to Inhale, including a none-too-shabby 7.8 rating from the absurdly influential Pitchfork Media. The CD drops on April 24, so it’ll still be quite fresh by the time Thursday’s show rolls around. Kentucky’s Cunninglynguists came to the rap world’s attention with the 2001 release of Will Rap for Food, an album universally praised by critic types. The band’s sound is smooth and sonically creative, in the vein of early Outkast (there’s that name again) and even earlier De La Soul. Southern rap is sometimes confounding; when it’s good it’s good, but other times it’s like getting yelled at by a street crazy with a cough-medicine problem. Thankfully, that isn’t the case here. Jake the Snake hails from Boston, but Burnt MD, Dark Cloud and VT Union are all local talent. And they’re all awesome, too, so you won’t feel like you’re just waiting for the headliners for once.

MORE HIP-HOP HAPPENINGS Have you always dreamed of being a non-whack MC, but never found the time for rhyme? (Like it’s that easy). Well, maybe you should enter the Queen City Rap Battle, presented by the United College Club, and taking place at City Hall Auditorium on Saturday, April 28. Travis Card will host the event, with dope beats supplied by DJ Strongarm. But what of the prizes? Here’s comes the hook: First place will earn you a Shure SM58-LC microphone (take it from me, those suckers are sturdy-ass mikes), a Burton hoodie and 50 bucks. The second-place prize is a $50 gift certificate to Steez, a Burton hoodie and a T-shirt. Third place gets you the T-shirt and a $25 gift certificate to Steez. The contest kicks off at 7 p.m., and costs $10 to enter. If you just wanna watch, admission is $3. And the event is all ages, so rappin’ tykes and grannies are more than welcome.

PICK A SHOW, ANY SHOW

I always love to break the news about big shows, and ’round these parts, it doesn’t get much bigger than a home-turf performance by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. You probably already knew about the band’s upcoming appearance at the Lebanon Opera House on May 25. But that’s New Hampshire. For a while, it looked like the band wouldn’t be playing in Vermont at all this summer. How could they have forsaken us Green Mountainers? Did the razzle-dazzle of L.A. really change them? Nope — they’re still cool DEVIN THE DUDE kids. OK, I’ll spare you the suspense. GP&TN have added a local gig to their tour schedule: a performance at Burlington’s Waterfront Park on Sunday, August 19. That’s not quite two weeks after their hotly anticipated sophomore album, This Is Somewhere (a Neil Young reference, perhaps?) comes out via their swanky new label, Hollywood Records. The concert is part of the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival, which is celebrating its second year. If you’re thinking of catching GP&TN, you might wanna make a weekend out of it — the festival kicks off on the 17th and winds up with the big rock show. Fans are probably already familiar with a few of the tunes slated to appear on the new album, at least the live versions. But did you know the band put a brand-new studio cut on their MySpace page? The song is called “Ah, Mary,” and it reflects a broadening of the GP&TN sound. It’s very well produced, as you might imagine, and features some particularly breathy vocals from Ms. Potter. Or maybe that’s just the fancy, big-time-studio compression. Anyway, the song has some sweet mellow parts, some bitchin’ rock parts and more downhome sass than is legal in some states. Check it out at www.MySpace.com/Grace PotterAndTheNocturnals.

BROADCAST BUDS Somehow I’ve forgotten to tell you about my weekly phone chats with DJ Charlie, one of the morning dudes on 104.7 The Point. So what the hell is there to talk about at 8:20 (give or take) on a Tuesday morning? Plenty, actually. That’s new-release day for us proud North Americans, which provides lots of conversational fodder. Loyal readers already know that I can be a bit, um, opinionated. Well, DJ Chuckles is, too. So half the time we just end up talkin’ trash. But it’s usually pretty amusing. At least that’s what my wife tells me. We also take a look at what’s coming up, concertwise, with an emphasis on the shows the Point is giving away tickets to. Then he asks me what’s going in the GP&TN paper this week, and — bam! — dead air. Just kidding. But it does usually take me a minute to remember. Anyway, it’s been really fun for me. And it might make your morning commute that much more exciting. Feel free to give me some feedback if you tune in.

FRIDAY 4/27

WITH: CUNNINLYNGUISTS, BURNT MD, PACK FM, JAKE THE SNAKE, AND MORE… 21+ $15 ADVANCE// $20 DAY OF SHOW // 18+ DAY OF SHOW ONLY

A few college-friendly, big-name acts are coming to the Green Mountains this weekend, which should further stoke spring fever among the student body. Of course, oldsters and townies are more than welcome at the shows, too. Just because you think Facebook is what happens when you fall asleep while reading doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some live music. You might have some tough choices to make, though — all three shows take place on the same day. Regional faves Guster and special guests The Format head to Middlebury College’s Kenyon arena for a 7 p.m. concert. Admission is $25 for the general public, $20 for Middlebury faculty and staff and a mere 15 bucks for you lucky students. ’Cause tuition is expensive enough. Call the box office at 802446-6433 or visit www.middlebury.edu/tickets to get yourself into the party. Pop-rock jamsters O.A.R. swing by St. Michael’s College that same evening for a performance at the Ross Sports Center, with an as-yetundetermined opening act. The show kicks off at 9 p.m. Tickets are $33 for regular folk, $20 for St. Mike’s students, faculty and staff. Non-students can get theirs at FrontgateTickets. com. Hopefully, you collegiate folk already have passes; if not, too bad — they stopped selling the cheapies late last month. Over at Higher Ground are newgrass groovers Hot Buttered Rum and young singer-songwriter Luke Eriksen. This show is the least expensive of the lot, so if you’re cash-strapped, the decision should be easy. Actually, the $10 advance and $12 day-of-show admission can probably be earned by returning some of those bottles in your dorm-room closet. Visit www.HigherGroundMusic.com for more info.

Chuch

Alt-country renegades

have distinguished themselves both locally

and nationally with their revved-up, hard-rockin’ take on twang. The band’s debut disc, Four Tall, showcased a crew on the verge of something big; their brand-new effort, Juarez, delivers with genre-defying tunes that hit like a swamp-rock sledgehammer. They’ll celebrate its release this Friday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. In addition to the music, Chuch will preview a

reviewthis CHUCH, JUAREZ

OAK, EP 1 & EP 2

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

Burlington can claim its fair share of Americana acts, most of ’em on the mellower, acoustic side of the fence. That’s not the case with Chuch, a defiantly rockin’ quartet that has enjoyed a fair amount of acclaim, locally and otherwise, since coming together a few years ago. The band’s blue-collar work ethic means they’ve damnstraight earned it. Chuch’s soon-to-be-released sophomore album, Juarez, finds the boys doing what they do best — namely, burning some serious sonic rubber on 10 tracks of bang ’n’ twang. Juarez kicks off with the appropriately titled “Intro,” a back-porch harmonica blues instrumental that brings to mind warm beer and certain barnyard aromas. “High on a Good Day,” a moody rocker full of misanthropic observations about how the other half lives, immediately follows. That’d be the privileged half, if you hadn’t guessed. On “Few Good Things,” Chuch fire up the wah-wah guitar for a slice of psychedelic Americana. The tune bears a resemblance to rootsy rockers Cracker, both musically and vocally. Chuch’s rhythm section — composed of bassist Noah Crowther and his drummer brother Justin — duke it out in the song’s midsection before guitarist Chad Hammaker takes over with a rough-and-tumble solo. Chuch’s “gang-vocal” approach works well on most cuts, including the slow-burning “Tumbleweed.” “I saw the fire burn / A snake almost bit my brother on the leg,” the band members sing. It’s as if four slightly intoxicated dudes were telling you a bizarre bar story at the same time. Unfortunately, some of the album seems to drag. The band’s debut featured a good mix of up-tempo and laid-back cuts, but Juarez occasionally gets stuck in mid-gear. Tunes such as “Riverhorse” and “Hold Me Down” are solid enough, but could benefit from some metronomic variation. “Goodbye” switches things up a tad with slick high-hat work and some tasty guitar harmonics. “Goodbye to everyone, or so it seems,” they sing in the tune’s rugged chorus. Lap steel/dobro dude Matt Hayes showcases some sweet slide playing on subsequent track “$50 Guitar” — easily the hardest-hitting tune on the album. Juarez winds up with the somber-sounding “Chevy,” which features cool sustained guitar lines and phased vocals. “Wake up early to deal with a bunch of shit / You can’t ever sleep enough to feel good enough about it,” state the depressive lyrics. Still, the sentiment will be familiar to many. Chuch are gearing up for another round of national touring this summer, so fans will want to catch the Juarez CD release party this Friday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with Four on the Floor and Brett Hughes and Tyler Bolles. CASEY REA

Burlington trio Oak are one of the most interesting and musically talented groups I’ve ever heard locally, and I don’t think they’ve been together for even a year. The band, which features multi-instrumentalists SaraPaule Koeller, Toby Aronson and Chris Kunitz, play a nearindescribable form of music that bears similarities to avantgarde classical, prog-folk and experimental. I know, I know — a ton of acts are getting their “post-everything” groove on these days. But what makes Oak stand out is their compositional integrity. Koeller is an oboist, an instrument not often heard on non-classical albums. Her playing throughout these EPs is stately and refined, evoking both minimalist Japanese music and pastoral Americana à la Aaron Copland. A classically trained guitarist, Aronson provides lilting six-string accompaniment on numerous tracks. I’m not sure what the hell Kunitz plays, but he does a damn fine job of it. EP 1 opens with “Julia Set,” a swirling musical meditation that trades off between fervent acoustic strums and what sounds like toy piano. Full-bodied percussion provides a sense of motion, as the song slowly fragments into a mellow oboe-guitar duet. Later, the music picks back up, only to be consumed in a hazy web of undifferentiated tone. “Gravel Pit” features a huddle of found sounds augmented by electric guitar, oboe and relaxed but deliberate bass. At around 3 minutes long, it’s the shortest of Oak’s numbers. The song is absolutely mesmerizing despite its relative brevity. Contrapuntal composers such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley inform the needle-prick tonalities on “Chaparral.” It’s followed by closing cut “Spikes,” one of the most elegant instrumentals I’ve had the pleasure of hearing. As good as EP 1 is, EP 2 is even better. It arrives via the sublimely hypnotic “Do the Work of Two With One,” which is the sole Oak composition to feature vocals. Koeller, who doesn’t so much sing as intone flecks of sound, possesses pipes perfectly suited to the lovely instrumentation. “Whoever Brought Me Here Will Have to Take Me Home” features what I’m guessing is hurdy-gurdy — an old-time, hand-cranked drone device. In addition, there are ghostly arcs of what could be viola, slide guitar, oboe or all of the above. With sounds this compelling, who cares how they were generated? My favorite cut on EP 2 is the muted and somewhat sinister “Thelema,” and not just because it’s named after late British occultist Aleister Crowley’s mystical organization. Nope, I like the tune because of its gradual build and narcotic charm. Actually, it put me in a bit of a trance — at work, no less. Oak should already be on one of two Canadian labels: Alien 8 or Constellation Records. Montréal’s just up the road, guys — make it happen. Hear them live on Monday, April 30, at Winooski’s Monkey House with Uncle Woody Sullender & Kevin Davis, Mr. Shopping and A Snake in the Garden. CASEY REA

Urchin,” says actor/comedian/rocker Jack Black. What that actually means is anybody’s guess. Dean Ween of eternal

tweakers Ween calls TSOU “the second greatest band in rock today,” which could certainly be construed as an endorsement. The Urchins’ sound is both raucous and ridiculous — a muscular blend of hard-rock guitars and slightly deranged vocals. Indelibly irreverent and energetic to the extreme, TSOU might just be the future of left-field rock ’n’ roll. Hear them at Nectar’s twice this weekend — Thursday with Burlington duders Tell No One and Friday with local post-rockers Party Star.

film shorts The network of comedians behind the Reduced Shakespeare Company has won fame for condensing the Bard’s oeuvre into a 90-minute nutshell of gut-busting plot synopses and iambic pentameter one-liners. They’ve also boiled down American history and both Testaments of the Bible into short, sharp stage shows. Now, three improv funnymen whip out their scissors for a new subject: Tinseltown’s entire output. In Completely Hollywood (abridged), the modern Marx Brothers produce a madcap, CliffsNotes version of film history, from a Jane Austen action flick titled Darcy’s Angels to the Disney-Kurosawa production of Snow White and the Seven Samurai. Expect rapid-fire references to all manner of silver-screen icons, and be prepared for audience participation. ‘Completely Hollywood (abridged)’

scene@ THE MUD SEASON VARIETY SHOW

CHANDLER MUSIC HALL, RANDOLPH, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 7:30 P.M.

photo: CARRIE ChANDLER

There’s nothing like sitting in the audience for a live recording of WMUD radio, “The Voice of Mud Country,� to help Vermonters get through its fifth season. WMUD radio personalities Randy, Tom, Janine and Charlie temporarily got our minds out of the mud with lots of laughter at the 13th annual Mud Season Variety Show. And the spectacle lived up to the promise of “variety.� Kay McLoughlin took us back to the piano bars of the 1940s with her rendition of Cole Porter’s “All of You.� Twelve-year-old twins Alexander and William Sharpe, in matching green vests, got our Eire up with masterful fiddle and guitar playing. A group of local teens gave us a taste of Broadway with their rendition of “Seasons of Love� from the musical Rent. And for good measure, there was a good old-fashioned belly-dance number, too. It was the Green Mountain Cloggers, though, that left the biggest impression on me. I’m from the South and have never witnessed anything like this. Trust me, clogging to the musical accompaniment of “Black Betty� would never occur below the Mason-Dixon line. As soon as I heard the first “bam ba lam,� I decided I might have to join up. After the show, DJ Charlie revealed there had been an actual star on the stage — Bethel’s own Josh Turk, who performed in one of the skits. Loyal viewers of MTV’s “Made� may remember him as the unathletic guy who was transformed into a soccer player. With equal parts Vermont talent and community spirit, the Mud Season Variety Show made us forget all about the mucky stuff. Except, that is, when DJ Randy, posing as a fifth-grader, read a poem culminating with: “Mud’s a pain in the butt and it’s OK to say it.� CARRIE CHANDLER

STEAMY BOHEMIANS The 1966 Broadway hit Cabaret follows a romance between a saucy British-expat singer and an American writer in Weimar Berlin. In it, the neon-colorful characters of the Kit Kat Klub sing about love, money and ménages à trois, while a subplot documents rising anti-Semitism. Soon the Emcee’s languid kicksteps morph into goosesteps, reflecting the rise of the Third Reich. Johnson State College students in the school’s new musical theater B.A. program step into Liza Minnelli’s high-heeled shoes for three shows only. But fans of sardonic song-and-dance numbers can expect a steady supply this spring: Middlebury College stages its own version of the musical May 4-6, and the Spielpalast Cabaret, Burlington’s annually refreshed homage to all things frilly and feisty, launches a two-week run on May 11. ‘Cabaret’

ROCK SOLIDARITY May Day evokes beribboned poles, but pagan rituals aren’t the only way to celebrate. May 1st has also been a holiday honoring international workers’ rights since 1886, when demonstrators demanded a reduction in the then-standard 10-hour shift. Two events arranged by the Barre Historical Society recall the days when immigrant artisans and quarry workers from northern Italy converged downtown for activist festivities (pictured). Filmmaker Randy Croce premieres his film Se la Pietra Sapesse Parlare (If Stone Could Speak), which traces the voyage of stone-cutting families from their Italian villages to Barre. The following evening, historian Rudolph Vecoli explains the socialist origins of “Primo Maggio,” providing food for thought after a traditional meal of antipasti, minestrone, salad, lasagna and fresh bread.

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I had a nasty breakup with someone in December 2005. What made it worse is that we had sex just before the breakup, even though I could tell it was over. The sex was bad and emotionally painful. I have dated since then, but unsuccessfully. After almost two years, I was getting “hungry,” so an old friend and I decided to hook up. I had been somewhat attracted to him during college but always had a boyfriend when he and I would hang out. We spent a few weeks talking online about hooking up, which was a real turn-on. We finally had sex this past weekend and, I must say, I felt clumsy, uneasy, and like I was holding back. I have always felt like a strong sexual being; before now, I didn’t have to be in a “relationship” to enjoy sex. Is there a way to reclaim and be comfortable with my sexuality again, without therapy? Sincerely, Lost Dear Lost, I’ve got one word for you: relax. It’s natural to be nervous and clumsy when you get back into the game after a dry spell. It’s upsetting to feel like your mojo is waning, but don’t overlook the positive — you’re learning and growing. You survived a bad relationship and breakup, you took some time for yourself, and now you’re ready to get back into the swing of things. This is an exciting time in your life! As we evolve, our sexual needs and desires change. You may not be able to perform as well with someone you’re not in love with — and that’s OK. You don’t need to participate in casual sex to let your inner sex kitten run free. If you want intimacy with your orgasms, I suggest taking things slowly. Build trust — and sexual tension — with someone you like, then give sex another try. You strike me as a strong, smart woman — look inside yourself and see this as an opportunity to grow. And remember that even the strongest people need a little help sometimes. If you’re feeling confused and overwhelmed, go ahead and see a therapist — couldn’t we all use an hour a week devoted to ourselves?

XOXO,

MM
