BODY OF ART Yankee won the “Seven Daysies” again [July 27], and it comes as no surprise to me. The staff are not only the best artists (and best piercer) in Vermont, Yankee Tattoo is also one of the best businesses in Burlington, period. Professional, friendly, clean, honest, reliable and consistent.

Despite my jubilation at seeing Yankee’s winning streak continue, I have, of course, found something to gripe about. It’s the way the “Body Artist” category is handled. First, these people are certainly artists in a very concrete sense of the word, not through some tenuous semantic grasping. So why are they in the “Services and Stuff” division and not “Arts and Entertainment” with the other artists? Is it because piercing is included and it is not considered an “art?”

Second, since one of the chief competitors in this category every year is a shop called Body Art, don’t you think it might be considered a tad leading to name the category Body Artists?

I realize the edition would be 500 pages long if you allowed for every miniscule categorical subdivision people request, but perhaps there should be two categories: “Best Tattoo Artistry” under Arts, and “Best Piercer” under Services.

CHECKING FREYNE’S FACTS I would like to clarify several points made in Peter Freyne’s “Inside Track” [August 10]. I object to the implication that my decision to resign from the Champlain College Board of Trustees was in any way related to the filing of a suit against me by the SEC. Nothing could be further from the truth. After serving many years on the Board, I decided to retire at the same time that Roger Perry’s distinguished tenure was ending. The SEC suit did not come until several months after my resignation from the Board.

Being called a Robin Hood makes it sound as if I am somehow involved in stealing, again a misleading suggestion, at least from my perspective. The SEC has alleged that I promised a 100-percent return, while in reality I specifically stated that I could not promise such a return. Instead, I reported several actual and verifiable case studies where 100-percent-per-year profits were made using my option strategies.

I also would like to correct Mr. Freyne’s statement that there were 110 Vermont charities to which I had donated at least $15,000 —

that number was the average amount of my contributions to those charities. I mention this only to deflect the many calls I might get from individual charities asking for the rest of their $15,000.

Terry F. Allen FERRISBURGH

‘ELF’ DEFENSE I’m writing in response to Robert Larkin’s letter in the August 17 issue about James Kochalka’s “Sketchbook Diaries.” Mr. Larkin thinks the comics are “tripe (sic), boring, infantile, lackadaisical, moronic and timelessly unin-

spired.” In his letter, he also asks Seven Days to remove “American Elf” from the paper.

It may interest Mr. Larkin to know that not everyone agrees with him. I’ll leave my own opinion on the matter private and simply point out that James Kochalka has won two prestigious Ignatz Awards and has been nominated for a Harvey Award and for the coveted Eisner Award twice. His work has been featured on Nickelodeon and the SciFi Channel, and he is published all over the world. A trip into any comics shop in any metropolitan area in North America will reveal a section devoted to Kochalka’s work.

But it’s clear that the absurd, mundane simplicity of James Kochalka’s “Sketchbook Diaries” doesn’t interest Mr. Larkin. That’s fine. No one is forcing him to read [the strip]. I hope that the editors at Seven Days realize Mr. Larkin’s opinions are not as universal as he makes them sound.

Mr. Larkin also seems to be under the mistaken impression that comics are supposed to be funny. Just because James Kochalka’s diaries are drawings that appear inside little boxes in the newspaper doesn’t mean they have to be “Dilbert.” There’s a whole world of comics styles and genres out there. Take a look, Mr. Larkin, you might find something that suits you.

Bill Simmon

KEEP ‘ELF’ In response to Robert F. Larkin’s August 17 letter, I want to say that “American Elf” is the first item I turn to, without fail, whenever I pick up a new copy of Seven Days.

I appreciate Mr. Kochalka’s drawing style and his observations of everyday events that are often overlooked by most people. Is it always funny? No, but that’s not what I look for from “American Elf.” It is, as the title says, a sketchbook diary chronicling life’s little intricacies, irritations and joys.

So please, keep “American Elf” and continue offering an outlet for unique, sometimes puzzling, but always enjoyable work by local artists like Mr. Kochalka.

Enlightening Vacation!

Y Peter Freyne is on vacation.

Guest writer Bill Schubart is the president of Resolution in South Burlington and chair of the board at Fletch Allen Health Center. He writes fiction, opinion and humor from his home in Hinesburg.

ours truly got off his duff and out of Burlap this week. Not to Saratoga but Plainfield, where we conducted an undercover investigation of accounting irregularities at the Monks of the Plainly Held Truths Community in the abandoned buildings of Goddard College.

Holy Hippie!

While there were certain discrepancies in the recording of taxable garden-produce barters, we found little else, and so, to better root out rumors surrounding the community, we enrolled under a pseudonym in a three-day workshop called “Finding Your Inner Goddess.”

The workshop was held in a surprisingly comfortable yurt in this Birkenstock vale of zaftig women, sensitive males and clueless sheep.

Our first day was a revelation. We began to develop an understanding of what makes the people we have been writing about for years behave so badly, and felt a stir of compassion for what motivates their missteps — our own as well as those of our many subjects. Or should we say victims? Yours truly also quit drinking.

We will not bore you with details of our own transcendent migration from political cynic to compassionate hack, but would urge faithful readers to look inward and follow their own goddesses.

Ours is a brunette.

Just kidding.

For the next few weeks, we will be visiting Bill Boettcher in prison and bringing him word of progress on the cracks in his parking garage, which have now been repaired at no additional cost to the community, and have lost their worrisome aspect. We will be attending a 12-step meeting together, and yours truly has offered to sail one of his boats back from Mexico for him. In truth, Big Bad Bill had some charming qualities that we missed in prior columns and hope to revisit in future ones.

Got a call last week from wannabe pol Rich Tarrant, whose substantial wealth has frankly been a barrier to our relationship, as well as the object of some, yes, personal envy. In our sylvan journey of self-discovery, we learned that great wealth changes people, and so does the lack of it. Richie Rich and yours truly are going to shoot some hoops together, enjoy a smoothie, and then see if our bicycle fits in the boot of the Bentley.

Gov. Jim Douglas is back from vacation and hard at it. Not just policy-making but poetry-writing. He’ll be sharing some of his own verse at a reading we organized at our apartment next week.

Although it is commonly known that the guv, like most Republicans, can’t dance, it is largely unknown that, in his quieter moments, he pens deep and thoughtful trochees. Topics range from a lovely, seven-stanza poem on captive insurance to a haiku on the Universal Commercial Code.

On discovering this side of our governor, we came to rue our many cynical portrayals of him as a relentless ribbon-

cutter. The Vermont Republican Party will be publishing a somewhat bowdlerized anthology of Governor Jim’s verses next year, if they can find a Republican editor capable of understanding poetry.

Sam Hemingway is at it again, maundering to the Gannett Goddess of Trivial Pursuits. A recent column concerned a couple in Hardwick’s Mobile Estates Trailer Park whose cynical landlord had urged them to heat their defective home by connecting the dryer outlet to their open bedroom window. Sam the Sham blew more regulatory hootie about the dangers of heating one’s home with a dryer unless each family member is provided with a lint-filtering dust mask.

Sam, adjust your meds.

Having raised liberal millions, Howard Dean is considering a national progressive lottery to raise more Dem Dollars. Asked for advice on its feasibility, yours truly proffered some lottery themes for his consideration.

HoHoHo, the Santa Claus of the Somnambulist National Committee, thought a national lottery called “Liberal Guilt” might appeal. Our recent workshop experience suggested that this was an artifact of his Park Avenue childhood and we disabused him of the notion.

Humility and editorial distance prevent us from sharing our many great ideas, but the best was “Have Your Chardonnay and Drink It, Too.” Let’s see what the fall brings, eh?

We are trying to envision Vermont’s Bernie Sanders in the august House of Lords — read: the U.S. Senate.

Although not noted for our sartorial dash, we will be shepherding Ol’ Bernardo on a trip to Montréal to gussy him up a bit for the elite side of Congress. After a foray to Le Club Sexie and a smoked-meat sandwich at the Barbie Barn, we plan to visit the Centre de Cuir (that would be leather) and see if we can get Ol’ Bernardo trussed into a nice, three-piece leather suit. He has often admired the leather couch in our apartment, an avocado-colored artifact of the ’50s. Surely, Bernie, we can do better than that!

Finally, a word about our vacation . . . you probably thought yours truly was knee-walking through the back streets of Dublin collecting tidbits for future vituperations. Not so! We were nailing chipboard sheathing to studs at a Habitat for Humanity house in Milton with our former media target and newfound friend Marselis Parsons and his breathtaking, brunette anchor sidekick.

It was the first annual Anchor/Correspondent/Muckracker erection (oops) of a Habitat house.

The construction manager left to get more lumber and we applied the sheathing on the wrong side of the studs (oops again). This unusual house will be sheetrocked entirely on the exterior and will have a chipboard and Tyvek interior.

But then again, it’s Milton.

Say, how would Ol’ Bernardo look in Tyvek ? 쩾

Vigil Participants Support the Troops, Oppose the War

BY CATHY RESMER

ENOSBURG FALLS — Home to the Vermont Dairy Festival, Enosburg Falls holds its annual parade in June, but last week a different kind of procession meandered through the Franklin County town. On Wednesday, August 17, 30 area residents held a candlelight vigil in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan, a mother who lost her soldier son last year in Iraq.

From August 6 to 18, Sheehan was camped outside President Bush’s Texas ranch, where he was vacationing. She demanded he meet with her to talk about the war. He refused. Liberal activist groups such as Moveon.org, TrueMajority and Democracy for America rallied around Sheehan, organizing upwards of 1600 vigils across the country on August 17 to support her, and to oppose the war that killed her son. Northern and central Vermont hosted more than two dozen vigils. An event at Burlington’s City Hall Park drew 600 people; in Montpelier, 200 showed up.

The vigil in Enosburg Falls was smaller, but perhaps more poignant; more than 60 soldiers from “Bravo Company,” the National Guard unit based there, are serving in Iraq. Nearly everyone in the town of fewer than 1500 is connected in some way to a soldier.

Consequently, the gathering was less confrontational than the peace vigils in Burlington, where activists often hold provocative signs. Only one in the Enosburg Falls crowd brought a sign — a small rectangle of white paper on

a wooden stick that read, “Wage Peace.” Its creator, Carolyn Bronz, was quick to point out that the vigil wasn’t about bashing the military. “We sure don’t want to be divisive,” she said. “We definitely support the troops.”

Bronz and the other activists met at the park in the center of town, near a statue of an American soldier from World War I. An adjacent granite slab honored local veterans. A banner hung from a fence around the monuments read, “Support Our Troops, Remember Our Fallen Heroes.”

At about 7:20 p.m. the crowd formed a circle. Many of them seemed to know each other, presumably from the regular weekly peace vigil that meets here on Saturdays at 5 p.m. A man spoke about Cindy Sheehan, explaining who she is, and why people around the country were gathering to support her. Then everyone lit candles and marched in silence toward the church. It was still light out. Passing motorists slowed to watch, but no one honked or shouted.

A small group of bystanders watched the procession from a creemee stand across the street.

Steve Wadsworth, a local veterinarian, had heard about Sheehan, and about the vigils. He said he was “glad to see it,” but wasn’t inclined to join. He said he was conscious of offending people whose family members are serving overseas. “I think there’s a huge amount of mixed feelings in this community,” he suggested.

Terry Wright, the Enosburg Falls Fire Warden and owner of Wrightholm Farm Equipment, was also in the creemee line. He said the troop deployment has had a big impact on the town’s volunteer fire department, as well as on his business. And though he didn’t express an opinion about the war, he clearly wants the troops to come home.

“We support ’em,” he said, “but we want ’em back here, too.”

When the candlelight march arrived at the church, the sky was beginning to darken. Inside, the marchers sat quietly in the pews, still clutching their candles. The Reverend Linda Maloney, who planned the gathering, had distributed nine short readings to various participants. The readers delivered their statements praying for peace, then sat back down as a musician played a harp. As the assembled contemplated the readings, the small church echoed with the sounds of the harp, an electric ceiling fan and birds chirping outside.

On his way out of the church, 19-year-old Owen Voss stopped to explain what had brought him to the vigil — his brother, Army National Guard Sergeant Michael Voss, was killed last October in Iraq. Owen Voss had heard about Cindy Sheehan and wanted to express his support for her and for other grieving families. He said he knows there are still “a lot of terrorists out there,” but he has misgivings about the invasion of Iraq. “I wish this war had never happened,” Voss said. m

Burlington TV Station Changes Hands

BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — In the world of Queen City media, the fox just swallowed the mouse. That is, the parent company of Burlington’s Fox affiliate, Smith Media LLC of St. Louis, recently purchased the beleaguered ABC-TV affiliate, WVNY Channel 22. Under the terms of the $10.5 million deal with WVNY’s previous owner, C-22 License Subsidiary, Smith Media has taken over the sales and administrative functions of Channel 22 while Smith’s operating partner, Lambert Broadcasting of Burlington, will now program the station and manage all of its technical operations. Lambert Broadcasting of Burlington is controlled by Michael Lambert of Beverly Hills, California.

The deal, which closed at the end of May, has already received initial approval from the Federal Communications Commission. The two stations will continue to operate out of their respective studios — Fox 44 in Colchester and ABC 22 in South Burlington — though it’s likely the two operations will eventually be merged.

There’s no word yet on whether any new staff will be brought in to run WVNY, or if current WVNY employees will be laid off.

Thus far, the sale of WVNY hasn’t resulted in any content or programming changes, either. Ian Guthrie, chief financial officer of Smith Media in St. Louis, says viewers shouldn’t notice a difference — at least for the time being.

From the viewers’ standpoint, the biggest unanswered question is whether Smith Media will bring

WFFF has never offered local news in Vermont, though the other five stations do.

Guthrie says it’s simply too soon to say.

“We’re looking at all options with respect to the news,” he says.

“We need to make sure that if we do it, that we can provide a viable news product for the viewer.”

Changes in 2003 to the federal media-ownership laws made it easier to own multiple media properties in a single market.

Guthrie says that a potential advertiser wouldn’t be required to buy airtime on both stations. But the deal reduces the number of broadcast advertising options in the Burlington area from four to three. 쩾

BURLINGTON — Last Friday 13 viewers rolled up to the Roxy to see Murderball, a rousing documentary about quadriplegic rugby players in wheelchairs. They weren’t there only to see the feel-good film, which is inspiring to the able-bodied as well as the disabled. They came en masse, courtesy of the Vermont Center for Independent Living, to make a statement: “There is a misconception in Vermont that people who have mobility issues don’t want to go out and enjoy shopping or a movie,” states the group’s press release. “It’s not that we don’t want to; it’s because we cannot get up a stair or maneuver a wheelchair through a store.” Murderball, says VCIL public relations director Ericka Reil, “shows that even if your legs don’t work, you can enjoy life. What better way to do that than go out to a movie with friends?” The statewide organization served about 1300 disabled Vermonters last year. The Roxy had room for one wheelchair, but, says Reil, “they delayed the movie an hour and took out a row of seats to accommodate us.”

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside people.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your man,â&#x20AC;? Riley said to them, and carried their bags around to my trunk.

I got out, gave Riley a playful smack on the cheek and passed him a twenty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks man,â&#x20AC;? I said gratefully.

The customers got in the back seat and seemed quite relaxed. Riley had set the fare beforehand, so there was no haggling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, where are you headed to?â&#x20AC;? I asked.

They looked at one another and spoke some Korean. Then the young man held up a finger and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wait, please, OK?â&#x20AC;? He fished a piece of paper from his pack and handed it to me. On it was written an address in Douglaston, which I recognized as the easternmost neighborhood of Queens. I grew up in Brooklyn and drove a NYC Yellow-Checker cab for a couple of years before migrating to Vermont, so I knew just how to get there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All right, folksâ&#x20AC;? I announced, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take 91 to 95, right to the Throgs Neck Bridge.â&#x20AC;?

My customers smiled and nodded vigorously, though it was clear they had no clue what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could you please give me the money?â&#x20AC;? I added, rubbing my thumb and fingers together in the universal symbol for cash. The woman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, money there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in New York.â&#x20AC;?

This was now a tough call. The hackie rule of thumb is: Never risk a long haul without the money up front. But these people seemed on the level, and my gut told me to go for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll trust you.â&#x20AC;?

I just played the Red Sox game and conserved my energy. When we reached the Queens address around midnight, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look hopeful: The place was a Korean bar and restaurant, completely dark.

The kid pulled out another piece of paper with a phone number. After two futile attempts at broken roadside pay phones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my cell refused to operate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we pulled into a seedy-looking motel. The young Indian man behind the desk appeared no older than my male customer, but he treated us graciously.

With mounting consternation, I watched my young customer dial and redial for five minutes with no success. I asked to see the piece of paper he held; the phone number had an area code plus six numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This numberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no good,â&#x20AC;? I said flatly, mentally beginning to freak out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe in Korea they use six numbers, but here you gotta have seven.â&#x20AC;?

The woman intervened, pulling from her purse a weathered address book.

Opening to a page, she inserted a couple quarters into the hotel pay phone and began dialing. Just like the boy, however, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get through. This was shaping up as my worst nightmare: getting stiffed on a 700-mile, 15-hour fare.

The woman walked up to the desk clerk and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Machine not work.â&#x20AC;? He asked to see the phone number she was calling, and then asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you dialing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;1â&#x20AC;&#x2122; before the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;212, maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? He pointed to the number in her book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dial â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;1â&#x20AC;&#x2122; first.â&#x20AC;?

Following his instructions, she soon was talking joyously to someone. She then beckoned me over and put me on the line.

A young female voice said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;58 West 46.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about Manhattan?â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; next to Time Square, OK?â&#x20AC;?

I jumped on the Long Island Expressway and headed west towards the Midtown Tunnel. In the back my customers were talking excitedly. I was feeling somewhat better myself, but not ready to celebrate until the money was securely in hand.

Emerging from the tunnel into a stream of five billion yellow cabs, we came into Times Square, no longer the tawdry carnival of my youth but slick, ultra-modern and commercial. With the impossibly bright lights and hordes of people, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like the wee hours of a Tuesday morning.

We pulled up to a four-story apartment building on West 46th and rang the buzzer. In less than a minute, two lovely young Korean women in floral dresses emerged, and began hugging and crying with my two customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our mom and little brother,â&#x20AC;? one of the young women said, smiling broadly as she handed me the entire fare and a $40 tip in cash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not seen them in six years, since we left Seoul!â&#x20AC;? m

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

ernigan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riley . . . Yeah, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with two folks who need a ride to New York City.

You up for it? I got family visiting, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it.â&#x20AC;?

It was a quiet Monday afternoon in early August, so this phone query from my cabbie colleague was a no-brainer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em get away, Riley!â&#x20AC;? I replied, cradling the phone between my neck and shoulder as I threw on a fresh shirt and wolfed down an avocado sandwich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where you at?â&#x20AC;? I continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You with these people?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relax, brother,â&#x20AC;? Riley replied with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a frickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aneurysm.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in front of Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hang with them till you get here.â&#x20AC;?

This assurance notwithstanding, I raced to the corner of Church and Cherry.

Pulling to an abrupt stop, I found Riley, Lucky Strike in hand, talking and gesturing to an Asian woman and teenage boy.

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

Mourning Television

A

t this stage in its evolution, television is so corporate, so focus-grouped, so formatted and predictable that it effortlessly processes virtually any development on the world stage, large or small, with meat-grinder efficiency. Except death. Political unrest, child abductions, famine, crime, natural disaster and disease are a breeze. Human mortality is different.

Take the recent death of ABC news anchor Peter Jennings. Not surprisingly, his untimely passing triggered an outpouring of shock, grief and praise. What was surprising was how long it kept pouring out. And not just on ABC. I’m trying not to be cynical here, but some networks really did milk this sad occasion for every ratings share it was worth.

Jennings was a lovely, intelligent and classy gent.

He was by all accounts a man of high journalistic standards and a generous mentor to young reporters. But let’s get real: He died on August 8, and the tributes were just beginning to wane by the 15th or so.

And not all of them were in good taste. In fact, a lot of the coverage came off as downright desperate. CNN’s Larry King had Bernard Shaw, Bob Sheffer and Brian Williams on August 9 for an evening of reminiscences, and the program maintained a friendly, respectful tone. By 8 p.m. the following evening, Jennings’ own network had glommed on with its own prime-time death extrav-

aganza: “Peter Jennings: Reporter.”

It went on for hours, featuring eulogies from such ABC coworkers as Diane Sawyer, Charlie Gibson and Ted Koeppel, and didn’t contain a single commercial break. Between segments, though, Disney — the network’s parent company — didn’t hesitate to play over and over a special message expressing its sympathies to the former employee’s

came the network’s announcement that it would continue to call its newscast “ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings,” despite the fact that Peter Jennings is no longer with us. Again, the marketing move was a tad too transparent for my tastes.

It went on and on. A week after the anchor took his last breath, Larry King was still rounding up guests for “Peter Jennings Remembered.” Day after day the remembrances, montages and mournful music kept coming on “Good Morning America.”

And then, just when it seemed the story had run its course, Dana Reeve announced that she had lung cancer and everybody scrambled to get those American Cancer Society people back on the line.

In the end, the Jennings story rose to Pope-level TV mourning. The post-passing coverage of John Paul II went on for, what, a month? By the time Benedict was installed in his place, I thought I’d lose my mind if I turned on the TV one more time to see some old guy in flowing robes and a funny hat.

Similarly, networks played the Ronald Reagan funeral coverage to death. How many times did we really need to see that clip of Nancy breaking down and bidding a tearful farewell to Ronnie’s coffin?

Unfortunately, this overkill extends beyond dead celebrities, to ordinary folk — particularly attractive white women — eliminated by foul play.

Imagine for a moment the hours of airtime spent speculating on the fates of JonBenet Ramsey, Chandra Levy and Natalee Holloway. Even without factoring in Laci Peterson, you’re talking about more hours than any network has devoted to a cogent analysis of the war in Iraq. It’s as though someone in TV land decided there would at all times be one official national case, and that it would receive an insanely disproportionate degree of attention in the so-called news. That is, until the ratings begin to drop. Call it the half-life of death.

At the moment, news people can’t quite make up their minds whether it’s time to pull out of Aruba, never mind Iraq. But, mark my words, any minute now another heinous tragedy will come along and bump the 13-week-old Natalee Holloway story from the headlines once and for all.

On a related note, broadcasters seem incapable of discriminating between a famous person whose passing represents an incalculable loss to humankind and one who will be lucky to snag a paragraph in People. Johnny Carson got the on-air farewell he deserved. But what about someone like Warren Zevon, a musician whose career spanned four decades and who contributed countless literate classics to the American songbook? If Letterman hadn’t extended a last-minute invitation, Zevon’s illness and departure would have gone all but unnoticed by the electronic media.

And then there was the loss of Hunter Thompson. Tim Russert aired a repeat of an interview with the author on his after-hours Sunday

It went on and on. A week after the anchor took his last breath, Larry King was still rounding up guests for “Peter Jennings Remembered.” family. I think that was an advertisement, and one of the eeriest in TV history.

Rival networks didn’t want to come right out and say something nice about a competitor, so they struggled to get in on the action by airing stories about lung cancer. Suddenly, representatives of the American Cancer Society were all over the dial. By August 12, ABC’s “Good Morning America” had jumped on this bandwagon and was airing cancerthemed packages in combination with nonstop Jennings tributes and montages, all accompanied by dirge-like music.

Low points in the dead-Jennings news cycle included the edition of “Entertainment Tonight” in which Mary Hart cheerfully announced that ABC’s prime-time Jennings special had won the ratings race for the evening with 9.4 million viewers. Then

show. As far as I know, that was it. Most unforgivable, though, was the complete lack of attention paid by anyone on television to Saul Bellow’s April 5 passing. We’re talking a Nobel Prize-winner. A literary titan. Are we total savages?

Meanwhile, the number of American service men and women who have died in Iraq closes in on the 2000 mark. That’s a lot of death. Not that much is said about it on television, however. Here’s one way to think of the scope: If every person killed in the war so far got just one prime-time special on one night, the TV tributes would go on for more than half a decade.

It’s a nutty thought. But wouldn’t we all agree that human beings who are the news merit at least a fraction of the on-air mourning accorded to people who report it? m

Dear Cecil, Exactly what was the deal with Operation Able Archer? I was right smack in the middle of that whole thing (as a soldier stationed in Germany), but I still don’t know what exactly happened except that a number of history books hint that we were actually closer to war in October 1983 than we were during the Cuban missile crisis.

Bill Owen, Cincinnati It’s a stretch to say we were closer. The Cuban missile crisis was a real showdown over a real issue, and many on both sides feared — and a few hawks hoped — that the confrontation would end in war. In contrast, the Able Archer incident (the pivotal moment came in November, incidentally, not October) was mainly a manifestation of Soviet jitters during the regime’s twilight years. U.S. officials didn’t know anything was up at first and were surprised to learn of the frantic atmosphere in Moscow. Still, the possibility that the world would be vaporized over a misunderstanding was a constant fear during the cold war (I won’t claim the threat has entirely subsided now), and in 1983 we drifted closer to the edge than one likes to think.

According to a 1997 CIA analysis by Benjamin Fischer, the incident had its roots in Soviet anxiety over the U.S. defense buildup that began during the Carter administration. The Russians knew they couldn’t compete and feared they would soon be outgunned. Possibly they were also spooked by stepped-up probes of their early-warning intelligence system and other mind games played by the American military starting shortly after Ronald Reagan took office. Whatever the impetus, Soviet leaders persuaded themselves that the U.S. was planning a sneak nuclear attack and in 1981 ordered their spies to look for evidence in an effort incongruously code-named RYAN, the Russian acronym for “nuclear missile attack.”

Soviet nervousness ratcheted up a couple notches in February 1983 as the U.S. prepared to deploy next-generation Pershing II nuclear missiles in West Germany, just a few minutes’ flight from the Soviet Union. In March, Reagan denounced the USSR as an “evil empire”

and shortly afterward announced the “Star Wars” missile-defense initiative. This was supposed to make the U.S. invulnerable to Russian nukes, the mere thought of which freaked the Soviets.

In September the Soviet military, under pressure from higher-ups for responding lackadaisically to U.S. incursions, shot down Korean Air Lines flight 007, which had strayed into Russian airspace and been misidentified as a spy plane; all 269 aboard were killed.

The U.S. condemned the attack as evidence of Soviet barbarism. Russian leaders, by now thoroughly paranoid, argued (and to some extent may have believed) that the incident was a purposeful provocation and declared that accommodation with the U.S. was impossible. Further complicating matters in October were the U.S. invasion of Grenada and the suicide bombing that killed 241 American military personnel in Lebanon.

With tensions at code-red levels, in the USSR especially, NATO in early November launched its annual military exercise. Called Able Archer 83, that year’s version involved an unusually realistic buildup to a simulated U.S. nuclear strike. The Soviets knew about Able Archer but wondered if something else was afoot, having long planned to use war games as a cover for the real thing themselves and suspecting the U.S. might do likewise. On the evening of November 8 or 9, Moscow reportedly sent a flash telegram to its western European outposts claiming the U.S. had put its forces on alert and was possibly preparing to attack (we hadn’t and weren’t, Western sources agree) and asking for confirmation.

Meanwhile, the Soviets readied their own defenses.

The most dramatic press account I’ve seen has Russian fighter-bombers sitting on the runways at peak alert with their engines revving and their nuclear weapons primed.

Learning of Moscow’s panic, U.S. national security adviser Robert McFarlane decides on his own to scrap a part of Able Archer that calls for Reagan and other officials to disappear (I guess into bunkers) and instead arranges for the president to be seen in public, reassuring the Russians and defusing the crisis. Good story, but I can find no corroboration of the details and think they’re partly a garbled version of events and partly fantasy.

The truth (for now) appears to be that the Russians raised the alert status of a dozen nuclear fighter-bombers but presumably had them stand down later when no further reports of suspicious U.S. activity emerged. U.S. officials knew nothing of Soviet fears and found out only after the fact following a report from a Russian double agent in London. Some contend that when word finally did reach the White House, Reagan was dismayed to learn the Russians thought him capable of precipitating Armageddon and adopted a more conciliatory approach. Our side doesn’t come off blameless; clearly we had been goading the Soviets. Still, the guys who came closest to pushing the button were the frightened old Bolsheviks running the USSR. CECIL ADAMS

T IMAGE Stefan Bumbeck

he driver had just “a couple of beers” one evening last August in Hinesburg, but it was enough to cause a fatal accident with an oncoming pickup truck. Six days later in Jericho, after the equivalent of seven gin-and-tonics, a different driver caused a single-vehicle accident at three in the morning that killed his passenger.

Impairment may result from a little or a lot of drinking, depending on the individual. But either way, “30 to 40 percent of highway deaths per year are alcohol-related,” says Steve Reckers, coordinator of alcohol traffic safety programs for the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. “And it can happen anytime.”

“Anytime” is mostly summertime, when people are more likely to be plastered on piña coladas, margaritas and the like. Reckers’ department reports a big jump in alcohol-related traffic crashes and fatalities from Memorial Day through Labor Day. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, seven of the top10 deadliest days on the road are in July and August. And while the overall number of people killed in U.S. crashes declined in 2004, Vermont’s fatalities leapt 42 percent — the most dramatic increase in the nation.

Not all those deaths were due to drinking, but collectively they may be one reason a new alternative treatment center in Benson is causing a lot of buzz among alcoholics and “problem drinkers.”

“I was drinking every day,” says “Paula,” a 47-year-old Montpelier lawyer. “I wasn’t into heavy vodkas and stuff like that, but just too much.

I knew it was only a matter of time before something would happen, like a car accident.”

On the advice of a friend, Paula looked up the Lenair Technique Center, which relocated from Boston in late 2004. Operated by “medical intuitive” Rhonda Lenair and her

husband Barry Chafin, the center treats alcohol dependency with “bioelectrical and electromagnetic modalities,” according to the brochure.

Though skeptical, Paula booked an appointment. “I knew I didn’t want a 12-step program,” she says. “For most people I know, it doesn’t work, and it’s not my thing to do a lot of talk therapy.”

After an initial phone consultation with Chafin, Paula drove to Benson, where she spent 15 to 20 minutes with Lenair. They began by chatting, and Paula immediately noticed something peculiar. “She’s almost looking through you, reading you,” Paula says.

Describing how Lenair conducted the “healing” process, she adds, “She’ll put her hands on your forehead and put you through some visualizations: ‘Think about how it feels when you’re really stressed and you have to have a drink’ . . . and then she says, ‘OK, forget about that, and think about some relaxing ocean, waves and blue sky.’”

It sounds like hypnosis, but Paula explains that something different happened that day back in January.

And when she walked out of the center, she felt like a new person, rid of the anxiety that had led her to drink.

Paula hasn’t had a drop of alcohol since. “I just don’t feel like drinking at all,” she reports.

Bioelectrics, according to its practitioners, is a practice based on the premise that all living things have frequencies like those associated with electronic circuits. “I detect and correct frequencies,” says Lenair in a phone interview. “I allow the inside to be as available as the outside.”

Lenair was studying ballet in 1972 when, at age 16, she met a doctor in England who told her she had an unusually strong electromagnetic field. She began studying under this doctor, and then spent a decade researching physiology, psychology,

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS

nutrition, math, physics, homeopathy and herbal medicine. Eventually, Lenair began using medical intuition to diagnose others’ illnesses. At first she practiced on her poodle; she began seeing people in 1985.

In the 20 years since, according to Chafin, Lenair, now 49, has helped more than 30,000 people battle alcoholism and more. The Healing Center’s list of programs also includes abuse and trauma; eating disorders; marijuana addiction; physical conditions; sexual disorders;

the hand and walk you across the footbridge that leads from the physical to the energetic, then you would understand that everything is in a state of neutrality.”

Frankly, this sort of talk makes me feel like having a drink. Later, I call Annie Ramniceanu, a counselor with Spectrum Youth & Family Services in Burlington, to find out how the Lenair technique might fit with other addiction treatments. She hasn’t worked with Lenair or Chafin, but has reviewed the website. “When I look at things like this, especially the way it’s presented, it upsets me greatly,” Ramniceanu says. “There’s already so much mystique and misinformation around addiction.”

She points out that, while a disclaimer explains Lenair is not a medical doctor or licensed drug or alcohol counselor, “This is a chronic medical problem and it doesn’t get cured by waving headless chickens at people or anything like that,” Ramniceanu says.

Cynicism notwithstanding, it’s hard to ignore a case such as “Jeff,” a 42-year-old lumberyard worker and father of three from Poultney. He estimates he was drinking 40 to 50 ounces of liquor a day in the two years surrounding his divorce. Beers after work gave way to drinks in the morning before work, more at his favorite bar at lunch, and ensuing detox and recovery programs as well as several near-death experiences.

At one point, Jeff says he was driving to work, loaded, and decided he needed help. A friend found him

When she walked out of the center, Paula felt like a new person, rid of the anxiety that had led her to drink. smoking cessation; and “other addictions, disorders and related problems.” There even have been treatments for nail biting and a sweet tooth. A series of three private sessions costs $1865.

Lenair describes what she does as “ripping a problem out by its roots.”

The center’s brochure seems to back this up, with nearly 60 testimonials from former clients, several of them in the medical community. Chafin says people come from as far as South Africa, New Zealand and Japan to meet with his wife, and that survey results indicate 95 percent of her clients have their problem “completely eliminated.” Lenair’s work has been called a marvel, a gift and a miracle. “It’s as if I’ve been touched by an angel,” one client claims in a testimonial that appears in the brochure.

She certainly sounds other-worldly, but also humble and concerned about helping society. “I never think of it as a power,” says Lenair. “It wasn’t like I was hit by a bolt of lighting or anything.”

Then what, exactly, does she do?

“It’s understanding that one affects all and all affect one,” says Lenair, who says she never watches the clock during sessions with her clients — she sees four or five people per day.

“Energetically, if I can take you by

near the emergency room of Rutland Regional Medical Center, passed out in his truck. His blood alcohol level was a death-defying .37. Later, after a snowmobiling accident left him with a broken back, Jeff began to add painkillers and ibuprofen to the mix.

Another ER visit revealed that he had severe internal hemorrhaging, and he says the doctors told him he would die soon if he continued to drink and pop pills.

Jeff calls chiropractors “garbage” and horoscopes “crazy,” but when his brother mentioned an article he had read about the Lenair Center, Jeff agreed to try it. He doesn’t reveal much about what happened when he first went in late February, and struggles to find the words to describe Lenair. “I almost felt like there was something about her — her demeanor, her tone of voice,” says Jeff, who adds that she brought him to a state of “normalcy” — to his pre-drinking days. “It was a weird feeling when I left, like a peace.”

Afterwards, Jeff drove straight to his favorite bar, where he ordered lunch and a drink — iced tea. “I was there with all my demons, and I wasn’t even tempted,” he says, adding that his kids are even happier than he is about his recovery. “After my session, my daughter was in tears,” Jeff recalls. “I said, ‘I’m back.’” m

f George Bernard Shaw was correct in observing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth is wasted on the young,â&#x20AC;? then college, too, counts as a privilege the fledgling scholar may not fully appreciate at the time. A liberal arts education is an enticing buffet. But in the rush to pick a major, and get enough credits to graduate, many students fill up on quick-carb subjects. Who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone for the gut course instead of the challenging one?

Later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes decades after matriculation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many college grads find themselves yearning for protein. Turns out that econ course would have come in handy in the current job. A little Spanish would have helped with the haggling on that Central American vacation.

Hindsight sure helps when you pick your college courses. We asked a handful of prominent Vermonters what they wished theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken in college. So many courses, so little time.

BETH HUMSTONE Director of U.S. Programs, Institute for Sustainable Communities Burlington Wheaton College, B.S. Political Science Harvard Graduate School of Design, M.S. City Planning What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found in my profession is that I need much more training in design than I ever expected when I entered graduate school. I took one drawing class there, but it was totally inadequate for my career. I focused too much on mathematics, history, political science, the social sciences and language, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of the creative side, the creative arts.

I would have liked to have taken more drawing courses.

And also music appreciation.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an adult piano player; I picked up piano lessons 12 years ago. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel I have a strong enough background in music to really appreciate what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning.

And French; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m way too old and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the memory to take on a language now, but I wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d learned French when I was young and my brain had retention to it. Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d know how to travel in Europe. Because with English and French, you can pretty much go anywhere.

this day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never taken a business or economics course. It might have helped somewhere. But common sense works pretty well, too, in business. Obviously, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt me. But it would have been nice to get a jumpstart, without having to learn it all by myself.

I guess I also wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken some introduction to music course, because I know nothing about music. As an example, one of my students asked me the other day how high the scale went. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think to G or H.â&#x20AC;? So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for improvement. Until I take that course, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to be home composing songs in the key of H.

TRISH HANSON Entomologist, Vt. Dept. of Forests, Parks and Recreation Lincoln University of Washington, Seattle, B.S. Botany University of Vermont, M.S., PhD Entomology I love working as an entomologist, and I enjoyed the classes that I took to get where I am, but a person couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take too many classes in subjects like music, literature, art, nutrition and fitness that enrich your life no matter what field you get into. For example, as a recreational musician, I wish I could have squeezed in some accordion classes.

ROB MERMIN Founding Director, Circus Smirkus Greensboro Lake Forest College, B.A. Drama and Literature There was no drama major at my college, but they gave me credit for spending a year in Paris with Marcel Marceau and other teachers of mime and theater. So it was basically an independent study. I was grateful it was a small enough school that allowed me to pursue my interests.

What was missing was languages. Reason being, my career has taken me to different parts of the world. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked up languages here and there, but it would have been a great head start to learn some languages in school. In the circus you are working in a real global subculture. I also wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken more political science.

Political science and languages: that shows a little of my bent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being part of the larger world.

KATHARINE MONTSTREAM Artist Burlington Green Mountain College and University of Colorado, B.A. Sociology I have always loved the game of soccer so much; in middle school and high school, we only did a two-week session. I was born too early, always stuck in the sidelines. When I went to college, they needed a team and I was too scared to do it. I wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken advantage of that opportunity.

Years later, at age 40, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning to play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pickup games at Oakledge Park.

Composer Barre Ohio State University, B.A. Music Composition (having left behind a path of dodecaphonic devastation from which the school is only now recovering) To better appreciate the course I wish I’d taken in college, it’s instructive to first list two courses I wish I hadn’t taken. At the top of the list is Psychoanalysis, which, in my school at least, emphasized the third and fourth syllables. The textbook was by Dr. Sigmoid Freud — no, not a misspelling — and involved rather a lot of dream interpretation of the colon utilizing a teensy flashlight and a long tube. For reasons never made clear, I was appointed “chief colonist,” and the less said about that, the better.

The other course was cryptically entitled “Loose-Surface Sediments and the Soothsayer Who Studied Them.” It sounded ever so intriguing, so imagine my disappointment when I discovered that it was a rehash of an accounting class previously called “Prophet and Loess.”

Ergo — and I presume this isn’t a prodigious leap of logic — I wish I’d studied Greek Mythology, concentrating on the warriors of Scythia known as Amazons because, like them, I have a predilection for mail-order books.

LEE ANDERSON Owner, Radio Bean Burlington Universities of Minnesota and Vermont, no degree I just got back from Europe, and the French I took in high school was helpful, but I felt sort of absurd not speaking a foreign language. Also, some trade skills would be handy in doing repairs: plumbing, electrical, metal work, that kind of thing.

The most helpful for me, though, would have been an accounting class. I had no accounting or bookkeeping knowledge at all. I just made up my own system for my business. I don’t stress out about the bottom line, because I don’t know what the bottom line is.

MELINDA MOULTON Re-developer, Main Street Landing Huntington Katherine Gibbs, Associate’s Degree, Business Studied business at Harvard Medicine. I always wanted to be a doctor. Of course in my day, my father’s thinking was, get her trained in business so that if she ever loses her husband, she can get a job and support her children. If you go to med school, you’re in school for seven or eight years. If I had my choice, I would have gone to medical school and become a doctor. I am still enthralled; I still read all about health and anything to do with the human body. If I had it all to do all over again, I’d be a general practitioner.

abbi David Steinberg hasn’t finished moving into his cubby of an office in Burlington’s Ohavi Zedek Synagogue.

The former rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Plattsburgh arrived at his new job in STORY Burlington this month, but he doesn’t CATHY officially take over as cantor and Hebrew RESMER school principal until September.

But Steinberg says he already feels at IMAGES home in the 400-family Conservative MATTHEW Jewish congregation affectionately known THORSEN as “OZ.” A shiny, partially deflated “Welcome!” balloon is tethered to the fan in his office. “Shalom, Rabbi David!” reads an announcement on the news page of the synagogue website. It continues: “We’re delighted to welcome Rabbi David and his family — his partner, Peter Blackmer, and Peter’s mother, Judith Ladd — to our community.”

Steinberg and Blackmer — a seventhgeneration Vermonter who works at UVM — were joined in civil union at Kingsland Bay State Park in June. “It was a big

Jewish wedding,” remembers the rabbi.

At a time when religious congregations the world over are fighting about the acceptability of gay spiritual leaders, OZ is making a powerful statement by hiring Steinberg. The synagogue, which has a number of GLBT members, enjoys a queer-friendly reputation. And while OZ doesn’t perform interfaith marriages, Rabbi Joshua Chasan was officiating same-sex unions long before the advent of civil unions.

Chasan points out that sexual orientation is just one of many issues that divide people of faith. OZ’s senior rabbi, a visible leader in Vermont Interfaith Action, says that accepting differences is “the central issue in the world today.” Hiring a gay rabbi sends the message that the Temple is actively engaged in promoting tolerance. Says Chasan, “Rabbi David is such a kind and direct person that he will be able, just by who he is, to help us in that process.”

At a time when religious congregations the world over are fighting about the acceptability of gay spiritual leaders, OZ is making a powerful statement by hiring Steinberg.

That said, Chasan notes that Steinberg was not hired because he’s gay — OZ’s new Associate Rabbi possesses a unique resume that qualifies him to minister to the congregation’s musical and educational needs.

Steinberg reviews his convoluted path to the ministry during an interview in his cluttered office. A compact and stylish 44year-old, he wears a short-sleeve, buttondown plaid shirt and blue Calvin Klein work pants. He also sports a pair of slight, boxy specs and a plain blue yarmulke perched on a crown of closely cropped graying hair. He chooses his words carefully — it goes with the territory — but speaks enthusiastically.

Steinberg was born in the Bronx and grew up on Long Island. As a child, he developed an appreciation for music, and learned to play piano and viola. “I was always a big classical music fan,” he says.

“I fell in love with Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #3 when I was 12.”

Steinberg considered attending conservatory, but chose instead to major in music and pre-law at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his B.A., took a year off, and then entered Harvard Law School. He loved reading the law and also the experience of singing in the HarvardRadcliffe Collegium Musicum ensemble.

<< 25A

1987, Steinberg went to work at a law firm in Portland, Maine.

It didn’t suit him. “Literally within the first month of being a lawyer in Maine, I realized, ‘My God, I hate this,’” he remembers.

He stayed at the firm until 1991, all the while becoming increasingly active in the local Jewish community. He became a cantorial soloist, joined his Synagogue’s board, and began teaching Hebrew School.

Steinberg eventually left the law firm and entered the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where he was ordained in 1997. He served as a rabbi for a congregation in Pennsylvania, then worked as a college Hillel director before becoming the rabbi at Temple Beth Israel in Plattsburgh in 1999.

As a spiritual leader, he says he enjoys helping people “find meaning, and their own sense of who they are, their place in the universe.” But it’s not just other people he helps. “It’s part of my job to be developing my own spirituality,” he observes. “They pay me to do that. It’s pretty cool.”

Steinberg’s coming-out process played a crucial role in his decision to become a rabbi, but at first he was reluctant to discuss it in a newspaper article.

In Plattsburgh, too, he avoided “the gay rabbi” spotlight. When anti-gay activist Fred Phelps launched a campaign there recently, Steinberg declined to take a public role in the controversy. In fact, he declines to compare Plattsburgh to Burlington, or even to talk about how his congregation there accepted the appearance of his partner at services. He will say that Burlington is “progressive” and “open-minded,” but says he’d like to leave it at that.

Ultimately, though, he agrees to tell his coming-out story.

He’s been open about it at OZ, and shared it with the search committee that recommended him to the congregation. Search committee chairperson Debra Schoenberg remembers the experience well. “He was tearful as he was talking about it,” she says in a phone interview. “We were tearful. One doesn’t expect that level of intimacy at a professional interview.”

It goes something like this: When Steinberg was working as a lawyer in Portland — while he was discovering the Jewish community there — he began to question his sexual orientation.

At first, he says, he felt conflicted. He wondered how to reconcile his desire and his faith.

When he was 28, he attended the Conference on Judaism in Rural New England, an annual gathering held in Lyndonville, Vermont, that was discontinued in 2004. There, Steinberg had what he calls “a crisis of conscience.” He had just read Twice

Blessed: On Being Lesbian, Gay and Jewish. He began to feel that by remaining closeted, he was denying a vital part of his identity. “I felt I was spitting at God,” he says.

When he returned to Portland, he came out to other members of his temple.

Reactions were mostly positive, Steinberg says diplomatically.

He recalls that one man, a past president of the Synagogue Brotherhood, accepted his announcement with little more than a shrug. “He said, ‘Well,

It’s part of my job to be developing my own spirituality.

They pay me to do that. It’s pretty cool.

RABBI DAVID STEINBERG

you can still chant off Torah, right?’”

Shortly afterwards, Steinberg entered the Reconstructionist seminary. In his class, there were seven lesbians, one gay man and eight straight people.

Retiring cantor Gerry Held, an alum of the same seminary, got to know Steinberg when he attended services over the past few years in Burlington. He was impressed with Steinberg when the rabbi taught a Hebrew School class during his interview. “He sat right down on the floor with the kids,” he says.

“They really liked him.”

Held says he has “no qualms” about handing over the pulpit to Steinberg. “He’s the kind of guy . . . you feel good about yourself after you talk to him,” he says.

He adds that he hasn’t heard anyone object to Steinberg’s sexual orientation and doesn’t expect to. Rabbi Chasan says he hasn’t heard much, either, but he notes that not everyone at OZ feels comfortable with gay clergy. “Of course, there are people here who have yet to integrate the understanding that differences in sexual orientation are normal,” he says. “And I look forward to such folk having the opportunity to get to know not only Rabbi David, but the many members of our congregation who are lesbians or gay men.”

Jason Lorber, a Democratic state legislator from Burlington, is one such congregant. He and his civil-union partner both belong to OZ. Lorber says it’s “great” that Steinberg is joining the “OZ family.” “It’s a welcome step,” he says, “and it’s not surprising, given OZ’s queer-friendliness.”

But being queer isn’t the only difference Steinberg brings to OZ — he’s also a Reconstructionist rabbi, a label that means he’s seen as more theologically “liberal” than the conservative synagogue. OZ accommodates a variety of liturgical styles; congregants can choose from three different translations of the services, depending on their personal tastes. Despite his background, Steinberg describes his liturgical tastes as “traditional.”

He’s the first to admit that his sexual orientation is only a very small part of who he is as a clergyman. Analyzing his hopes and fears for his new job, he focuses instead on his musical role. Steinberg says he recently had a dream in which he stood at the pulpit like a conductor, directing the congregation as a symphony. All of the various voices blended sonorously. “It’s always about getting people to work together without getting rid of individual voices,” he says, “bringing it all together in a way that connects you with something larger than yourself.”

But he also spoke of a recurring nightmare. “I’m not the conductor, I’m a soloist. I’m late in getting my stand set up. I don’t know the music.” Sounds like classic performance anxiety.

He might be reassured to hear Rabbi Chasan characterize OZ’s harmonious mission as “a work in progress.” m

O

n a sunny August morning, Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf campus, nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest, looks like a classic Vermont pastoral. On one side of scenic Route 125, a row of STORY sunflowers lines a long, neatly harvested MARGOT hayfield. Across the asphalt stands the HARRISON graceful, three-story “Bread Loaf Inn,” mustard-yellow with dark-green shutters IMAGES and a classic wraparound porch.

MATTHEW Inside, the place looks like a bustling THORSEN bed-and-breakfast with a suspiciously young clientele. The magazines displayed on the tables aren’t Time or Yankee, but urban favorites such as New York and obscure literary journals. Collegiate-looking men and women mill about in groups or stand in line for a buffet breakfast of eggs and spicy home fries. When the caffeinated coffee runs out, the crowd murmurs restlessly. But the young waiters who dart back and forth don’t fuss with apologies — they tell the diners, in no uncertain terms, to hold their horses.

This is the annual Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, where waiting tables is an honor and the person sitting next to you might just be the editor of one of the magazines in the lobby. Founded in 1926 with the encouragement of Ripton poet Robert Frost, who was a fixture there for 29 years, Bread Loaf is an intense session of verbal calisthenics for poetry, fiction and nonfiction writers — some just warming up, others already at the top of their game. Every other day for 10 days, the 230 participants attend 10-person workshops, where their writing is assessed.

When they’re not worrying about what Susan Orlean thinks of their metaphors, they’re expected to fill their time with classes on aspects of the craft, lectures and readings from established writers. A handful of big-name editors and agents lurks round the edges of the event.

Michael Collier, a poet and professor at the University of Maryland and director of the conference, says Bread Loaf shouldn’t be confused with the more leisurely model of a writers’ retreat. It’s a “hectic” experience, designed for learning rather than for on-site writing, he says.

For the 25 full-scholarship students known as “waiters,” the experience is more hectic still, as they race to finish clearing plates in the dining hall in order to catch the 9 a.m. lecture. But it’s a small price to pay for being recognized as an

especially promising writer: The waiters were chosen this year from 600 applicants.

“You get treated differently as a waiter,” says a former server who’s now on the Bread Loaf staff. Besides the coveted waiterships, applicants who’ve been published can try for tuition scholarships, and those with a book or two under their belts can become Bread Loaf teaching fellows.

About a third of the participants use one of these merit-based scholarships to offset the $2081 bill for tuition, room and board.

In the past, those who paid their full way at Bread Loaf were known as “contributors,” but Collier doesn’t like the term. “‘Contributor’ means you contribute a manuscript to the workshop — everyone’s a contributor,” he says, stressing the fact that scholarships are funded primarily by Middlebury College, not by students who pay full tuition.

The distinction matters. A 2001 article

by Rebecca Mead of The New Yorker portrayed Bread Loaf as a caste system where weekend writers with deep pockets were, in effect, sponsoring their more talented peers. Mead reported that “if you’re willing to pay . . . you stand a better than 50 percent chance of getting in” to the conference, in sharp contrast to the fierce competition for waiterships.

Four years later, the likelihood of general admission stands at about 17 percent, given a total applicant pool of 1500; 170 students pay full fare. While a “caste system” may exist, there’s joking and easy mingling across the ranks. “Don’t we have a cute waiter?” crows a woman with Betty Page bangs, who happens to be married to the man serving her dinner.

Mead’s New Yorker piece was full of irreverent anecdotes from the conference that was once informally known as “Bed Loaf.” But Mead also posed the deeper question of whether Bread Loaf — or the similar MFA programs that have proliferated around the country — can really make its students into better writers.

Collier, a tall man with keenly focused eyes, has strong feelings on the subject.

He remembers Mead asking him, “Can writing be taught?” “I knew then the story was going to be a disaster — she didn’t get it in the least,” he says. “When someone asks that, the underlying question is: Is this a worthwhile endeavor? Are you preying on people’s desire to get pub-

lished? Of course you can’t teach someone to write,” Collier goes on, “but you can teach habits of mind and attention. Then it’s up to the person to do the rest.”

That statement is echoed later in a lecture by poet Edward Hirsch, who has a Roman fringe of gray hair and a sneaky wit. Speaking on “The Enigma of Creative

ceiling.” The lightning of genius may or may not strike, he continues, but to get as close as possible to your personal best as a writer is “all you can do.”

That kind of intense work, says Collier, is the bread and butter of Bread Loaf: “What mainly goes on here is invisible.”

It’s particularly invisible to reporters, to whom the workshops are closed. This pol-

Process,” Hirsch expands on the role of inspiration and other ineffable, unteachable qualities in writing. Eminent writers, he says, have used bizarre rituals to summon their talent — the German poet Schiller, for instance, used to keep rotten apples in his desk because he thought the odor enhanced his creativity.

Does this mean Bread Loafers have no option but to “pray to the Muses,” as W.S. Merwin’s teacher advised him? No, says Hirsch. For all the importance of inspiration, “most young writers fail because they just don’t work hard enough.

Very few people come even close to their

icy may have something to do with Mead’s article, which took a jaundiced look inside a nonfiction workshop. More recently, a waiter typed dispatches from the conference to a blog on Slate, dissing his workshop colleagues.

But the decision to make the intimate classes off-limits also seems to reflect Collier’s vision for the conference, which he’s helmed since 1995.

Of course you can’t teach someone to write, but you can teach habits of mind and attention.

Then it’s up to the person to do the rest.

MICHAEL COLLIER, BREAD LOAF DIRECTOR John Gardner’s wife hiring a plane to drop leaflets proclaiming him a deadbeat dad — are all about the faculty, not the students. When he attended Bread Loaf in the 1980s and early ’90s, Collier says, he found that “the program didn’t focus enough on work. There was no time to look at work methodically, and it created a lot of anxiety, a lot of acting out in the social realm.” That may begin to explain the conference’s past reputation for student-faculty boozing and schmoozing.

Today, Collier thinks that the workshops are more about writing, less about “performance” and “students sitting at the feet of the master.”

“Michael’s done wonders here,” says Edward Brown, who has run the Bread Loaf Inn for 14 years and lives across the street in a white farmhouse with his family. An occasional workshop participant himself, Brown has watched Bread Loaf change. “It used to be all about the faculty . . . this idolatry,” he says. “Now it’s all about the participants.”

The new focus is reflected in Brown’s task today — to snap posed portraits of each workshop group, which the students can later buy as souvenirs. He zips across campus in a motorized golf cart, passing windbreaks of tall spruce and lawns dotted with Adirondack chairs. Most workshops are held inside the Barn, a massive old structure whose central hayloft is now a lounge with wireless Internet access. (Cellphones don’t work up here, to everyone’s chagrin.) Other workshops take place in the white wood-frame cottages scattered up and down Route 125, built by the college after wealthy sheep farmer Joseph Battell willed it the land and inn in 1915.

Some of the writers look camera-shy, but Brown eases them into place with a crack and a

smile. “You learn a lot about the faculty by taking their pictures,” he says. “Andrea Barrett, for instance,” author of the best-selling story collection Ship Fever and a Bread Loaf alumna herself, “she’ll just come right out and go for it. That’s how she is in life.”

When the two-hour workshops are over, it’s time for a late afternoon reading featuring former Vermont state poet Louise Glück and novelist Francine Prose. The readings couldn’t be more different. Glück intones her quasi-mystical poems about nature and decay in a raspy, oracular voice. Prose stammers occasionally, but her spot-on portrait of a yuppie second marriage, from the recent novel A Changed Man, draws guffaws from the audience. Prose is no stranger to Bread Loaf. A former faculty member, she calls the campus a “300-acre madeleine,” referring to the snack cake that opened the floodgates of memory for French writer Marcel Proust.

Afterward, at an outdoor cocktail party, newcomers to Bread Loaf are collecting memories of their own. The crowd has a grad-school look — Collier says the average age of participants is “early thirties” — and black is a popular color.

Two young women from MFA programs in the South say they’re “power-drinking” in order to get through the day’s grueling schedule of events.

Did they read the New Yorker article about Bread Loaf before coming? Yes, both women say, giggling, and they think “Bed Loaf” is a misnomer: “The boys sleep too far away!” But then their conversation turns to the events of their workshop: What did the teacher mean when she instructed them to think about how characters do things, rather than why?

Another participant, a memoirist from Canada, remembers the New Yorker debacle well.

She was a member of the nonfiction workshop that Mead described as a hotbed of addiction memoirs in the making. “What she wrote wasn’t factually wrong, but you could interpret it differently,” the memoirist says, noting that two members of the workshop went on to publish books, neither of them about addictions. One, Phyllis Vine, wrote a respected history.

As twilight sinks over the hay field, writers who are late for dinner take a furtive last gulp of their drinks and head out through the tape enclosing the makeshift cocktail lounge. Because of the presence of a few underage students at the conference, Bread Loaf is subject to Middlebury’s stringent alcohol regulations. But while the bacchanalias are a thing of the past — and praying to the Muses is probably passé, too — the writers here say they’ve found one key thing they were looking for: community. 쩾

RIDE OR WRONG? ATV owners could get a green light in the Green Mountain National Forest

IMAGES BY JAY ERICSON

BY KEN PICARD

odd Sheinfeld climbs into the bed of his tan GMC pickup, hoists his leg over a new all-terrain vehicle and deftly backs it down an aluminum ramp to the Irish Hill trailhead, not far from Berlin Pond. Sheinfeld is 41, tall and lanky, with blue eyes, curly brown hair and a thin mustache.

More importantly, he’s a colorful spokesperson for the 2500-member Vermont All Terrain Vehicle Sportsman’s Association. As VASA’s executive director, he’s gung-ho about trying to present the kinder, gentler face of all-terrain riding.

“We’re not the foaming-atthe-mouth heathens we’ve been made out to be, chasing Thumper and running over babies,” says Sheinfeld, firing up the Polaris ATP-330 I’ll be riding. “We’re about bologna sandwiches, picking berries and taking our kids fishing.”

After my 15-second primer on the vehicle — which amounts to Sheinfeld pointing out the brake,

throttle and gear shift — we don gloves, goggles and helmets and begin a slow, steady climb up the Daring Road Trail.

The old municipal dirt road that’s now a popular site for ATV enthusiasts doesn’t quite measure up to its daunting name.

We never go faster than 15 miles per hour, and I keep Sheinfeld’s white helmet in sight the whole time. A sticker on its back reads, “Stupid hurts.” It’s good advice for someone new to the 720pound machine. As the trail gets rockier and steeper, the fourwheeler feels a bit tippy and I slow to a crawl. But within minutes, I get the feel for how the knobby tires handle on the boulder-strewn landscape.

Apparently, that’s a big selling point for ATVs: Even an inexperienced rider can handle one with virtually no training or instruction.

Sheinfeld stops occasionally to point out a berry patch or coyote scat pile. But near the top of the

mountain, where dense thicket closes in around the trail, he shuts off his engine beside a human addition to the landscape: an illegally cut ATV trail.

“Now, this is the shit that really drives us nuts,” he sighs, pointing to a fresh, muddy gash in the underbrush. “I can’t understand why someone would do that. There are miles and

miles of good trails up here.”

Actually, it’s the kind of damage that many Vermonters fear will soon start appearing in Vermont’s largest block of public land: the Green Mountain National Forest. Currently, the USDA Forest Service is drafting a new management plan for the 400,000-acre GMNF, as it’s required to do by law every 10 to

SEVEN DAYS | august 24-31, 2005 | feature 33A

We feel that 85 national forests out there in America have found a way to accommodate ATV use that is sensitive and environmentally conscious. And yet, the Green Mountain National Forest hasn’t found a way to do that.

TODD SHEINFELD, VASA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

15 years. Essentially, the management plan is like a city zoning map, spelling out in detail how each tract of forestland will be designated, whether it’s for logging, habitat protection, mixeduse recreation, wilderness area and so forth.

In April, the Forest Service announced its “preferred alternative” for the Green Mountains, which recommends, among other things, designating 17,000 acres of new wilderness area.

Vermont’s conservation groups were shocked — they hoped to add at least 80,000 acres to the existing 60,000. Even more controversial was the proposal to open up as much as 47 percent of the national forest to ATV activity, something that’s never been allowed before in the GMNF. To folks like Sheinfeld, ATVs aren’t just an afternoon of fun with the kids; they’re a symbol of freedom, power, independence and nearly unlimited mobility in

the wilderness. But to others, ATVs are the antithesis of outdoor escape — they’re noisy, smelly, destructive machines that defile nature’s last untrammeled sanctuaries of serenity.

Love them or hate them, ATVs cannot be ignored.

Twenty years ago when the last forest management plan was drafted, ATVs were barely on planners’ radar screens.

According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, annual sales of “OHVs,” or off-highway vehicles, more than tripled between 1995 and 2003. There are now more than 5.6 million all-terrain vehicles in the United States, including about 89,000 in Vermont alone. Admittedly, some are used by farmers, loggers, firefighters and search-andrescue teams. But the vast majority is for recreational use. A nationwide survey released in June by the Forest Service found that nearly one in four Americans ages 16 and older par-

ticipated in OHV recreation at least once in the last year, making it one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities in America.

As with most environmental battles, this one is polarized. The Forest Service will be hardpressed to please everyone. ATV enthusiasts complain that the new plan offers them nothing more than the last management plan, which was adopted in 1987; environmentalists counter that opening up nearly half the national forest to ATV activity is an enormous step in the wrong direction. Other large tracts of public lands in New England, such as the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, Adirondack State Park in New York and Baxter State Park in Maine, have all prohibited ATV use, they point out. If the Greens are opened to ATV use, they will become a magnet for the entire New England region.

Here’s where it gets compli-

cated: GMNF’s planners say the draft management plan isn’t a major departure from the way the forest has been managed for the last decade. Holly Knox, assistant planner at GMNF headquarters in Rutland, says that the 1987 plan actually allowed for the construction of ATV trails.

But no user group was organized enough to come forward with a trail-building proposal.

Sheinfeld says his group was waiting on the GMNF, which has been “notoriously mute” on the subject of route planning. He laments, “To date, not one linear inch has been designated.”

Even if the new management plan is essentially the same as the old management plan, it’s sure to spur action on the part of ATVers. Knox contends that the plan the Forest Service favors would actually reduce the amount of acreage that could be opened to ATV trails, from 49 percent to 47 percent of the forest. Moreover, she adds, any ATV corri-

dors through the national forest would have to link to trails outside the GMNF. Self-contained trail systems within the forest would still be verboten.

“I think a lot of people think that we’re going to have ATVs running rampant everywhere,” Knox says. “That’s just not the case.”

Needless to say, others interpret the management plan quite differently. More than 10,000 people submitted letters and emails to the GMNF during the public comment period, which ended July 5. The Forest Service is now analyzing those comments before it releases its final management plan in February. But according to one review of the comments, an overwhelming majority of them expressed opposition to ATV use in the Green Mountains.

For his part, Sheinfeld — who attended nearly all of the 80 or >> 35A

so public meetings sponsored by the Forest Service in the last year — is skeptical that he’ll ever be riding an ATV through the Green Mountains. He argues his case back at VASA’s headquarters, a former beauty parlor just off Main Street in Montpelier and a stone’s throw from the Nature Conservancy and the Conservation Law Foundation. “We feel that 85 national forests out there in America have found a way to accommodate ATV use that is

We’re not the foaming-at-themouth heathens we’ve been made out to be, chasing Thumper and running over babies.

TODD SHEINFELD, VASA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR sensitive and environmentally conscious,” Sheinfeld says.

“And yet, the Green Mountain National Forest hasn’t found a way to do that.”

When asked about illegal ATV trails such as the one we encountered, Sheinfeld contends that it’s actually the dearth of legal ATV trails in Vermont that exacerbates the problem and leads “good, hardworking Vermonters” to break the law.

“Playing games of cat-andmouse [with law-enforcement rangers] only makes us feel like second-class citizens,” he says.

Currently, there are only about 700 miles of legal ATV trails in Vermont, compared to more than 5000 miles of snowmobile trails in the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST) network. VASA’s goal, Sheinfeld adds, is to create a statewide ATV trail network similar to the VAST network.

But that cannot be accomplished, he contends, without opening up north-south and east-west corridors through the Green Mountains.

VAST hasn’t taken a formal position on whether ATVs should be allowed in the national forest, though the group supports the right of everyone to have a place to recreate legally, says VAST president Ann Shangraw. The issue poses a problem for her group, she says, since many private landowners who allow VAST trails across their land have stated that they won’t do the same for ATVs. “As soon as they’re able to establish a trail network, my personal belief is that trespass issues with ATVs will slowly diminish,” Shangraw says. “Most people will ride legally if given the chance to. But if the state’s not going to step up to bat and help them establish a system, that’s going

to be very difficult to do.”

Is illegal ATV activity in the Green Mountains on the rise?

That depends who you ask.

Paul White is patrol captain with the law enforcement unit that patrols the Green Mountain National Forest.

According to his figures, the number of citations issued for “off-highway vehicle operations” have been declining, from 205 in 2003 to 127 in 2004. This year, he says, Forest Service law enforcement officers issued just 89 citations.

And those figures include not just illegal ATV activity but all unauthorized motorized traffic on the national forests.

But those numbers are deceptive. White also points out that there are only four law enforcement rangers patrolling the Green Mountain, White Mountain, Finger Lakes and Allegheny National Forests, an area made up of 1.4 million acres of woodlands stretching from Pennsylvania to Maine.

As he puts it, “Working ATV enforcement isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world.”

In fact, environmental groups that document and photograph illegal ATV activity, such as Forest Watch in Montpelier, contend that the lack of adequate enforcement capacity has actually resulted in a marked increase in illegal ATV use. And they warn that opening up the national forest to ATVs will be like letting the genie out of the bottle.

THE BATTLE OVER ATVS — IN Vermont and elsewhere — is sometimes characterized as a class issue. The Forest Service survey on national off-road vehicle activity found that, not surprisingly, the largest demographic of ATV users in Vermont are white males between the ages of 30 and 50, with high school diplomas and annual incomes between $30,000 and $50,000. ProATV activists such as Sheinfeld often contend that it’s the big environmental groups from outside the state that are keeping “real Vermonters” from enjoying ATVs in their own backyards.

But that argument doesn’t hold water in the town of Lincoln, a quaint little hamlet nestled at the foot of Mount Abraham and surrounded on three sides by the Green Mountain National Forest.

Lincoln is one of the few towns in Vermont with a working timber mill, general store and just one sidewalk. Among the 1200 or so residents who live here is a motley assortment of loggers, hunters, fishermen, birders, hikers, snowmobilers, environmentalists and other outdoor enthusiasts.

The politics of Lincoln r esidents differ depending on the issue, but there’s a general consensus on this one: The health of the Green Mountain National Forest is essential for >> 36A

The Green Mountains are the heart and soul of this town. As one Vermonter, I can say personally that an increase in ATV use would be problematic, as we’ve already seen significant soil erosion in recent years.

ETHAN READY, LINCOLN SELECT BOARD MEMBER maintaining Lincoln’s economic vitality and natural character.

“The Green Mountains are the heart and soul of this town,” notes Lincoln Select Board member Ethan Ready. “As one Vermonter, I can say personally that an increase in ATV use would be problematic, as we’ve already seen significant soil erosion in recent years.”

An avid trout fisherman, Ready is particularly concerned about the health of the New Haven River, which runs through his town. He believes that allowing ATVs in the river’s upper headwaters, for example, would be harmful to the brook trout, an “indicator species” of the river’s health.

“No longer can you catch a 3-pound brook trout in Vermont,” Ready laments.

“Nowadays, you do what you can to try to get one that’s 12 inches.”

Ready, son of former Vermont State Auditor Elizabeth Ready, emphasizes that he’s speaking for himself and not on behalf of the Lincoln select board. Due to its close proximity to the national forest, the Forest Service held two public meetings in Lincoln.

Afterwards, the three-member board submitted its comments expressing, among other things, its concern about potential ATV

activity in the Greens.

“Many Lincoln residents enjoy snowmobiling and use the VAST trail system within the GMNF. We want to make sure that the management reclassification will support continued use of the VAST trails,” the June 27 letter reads.

“At the same time, we note that you will begin taking applications for trails for summer ORVs [off-road vehicles], a new use of the GMNF. We are concerned about this change, because of the potential for soil disturbance and erosion, and wonder if ORV use is compatible with resource management goals.”

The select board’s opinion on ATVs is just one paragraph in a four-page letter. What’s revealing about it, though, is the distinction it makes between snow machines and all-terrain vehicles. Peter Sterling is an organizer with the Wilderness Society, one of many Vermont environmental groups that weighed in on the GMNF’s draft management plan. He’s also the only person outside the GMNF staff who has read through all 10,003 public comments — a claim confirmed by Forest Service personnel in Rutland. Sterling contends that public sentiment on the ATV issue is unmistakable: More than 90 percent of the

public comments ask the Forest Service not to allow them in the Green Mountains.

“I did not see a single letter that said, ‘We do not want snowmobiles on the national forest,’” Sterling notes. “There is clearly a difference in the mind of the public between snow machines and ATVs.” Sterling acknowledges that many of the comments he saw were form letters and emails submitted by environmental groups and their members.

Nevertheless, of the 10,003 comments, there were only 25 handwritten letters in support of ATV use in national forest, and another 94 handwritten letters supporting both ATV use and opposing more wilderness areas — that is, areas that allow no vehicles of any kind, including snowmobiles and mountain bikes.

In contrast, Sterling says, 520 people wrote handwritten letters opposing all-terrain vehicles in the Green Mountains, while another 342 submitted handwritten letters opposing ATV trails and asking for more wilderness-area designations.

In light of such overwhelming public sentiment, Sterling concludes, it’s not unreasonable for the GMNF to add another 80,000 acres of wilderness area.

That would still leave 260,000 acres open for snowmobiles, ski area expansions, timber harvests, etc.

“No one’s talking about locking down the forest,” he says.

“We’re just talking about a proper balance.”

The Forest Service emphasizes that its public-comment period was not, as GMNF’s Knox puts it, “a public voting process.” Nevertheless, a forest supervisor cannot easily ignore such overwhelming public sentiment.

At least, that’s the opinion of Jim Furnish, and he should know. He was deputy chief of the USDA Forest Service until his retirement in 2002. During his 34-year career, Furnish helped draft and implement a number of forest management plans, including several that involved significant changes in ATV access. They included a controversial decision in Indiana’s Hoosier National Forest about 20 years ago to close the entire forest to off-road vehicles.

Furnish also helped draft the management plan at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is considered one of the premier ATV-riding areas in the United States. With sand dunes that in places rise 500 feet high along the Pacific Ocean, the area receives intense ATV traffic. But ATVs were also doing a lot of harm to the park’s more sensitive areas.

Furnish was there when the Forest Service proposed scaling back ATV access. He received more than 25,000 public comments on the proposal.

As he recalls, “This was like Armageddon to them.” Due to the enormous public pressure,

SEVEN DAYS | august 24-31, 2005 | feature 37A

ATVs were allowed to continue operating in the dunes, but were banned in the most environmentally sensitive areas.

Furnish believes that opening the door to all-terrain vehicles in the GMNF would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a grave mistake.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes the argument for appeasement, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make everyone happy, is the wrong thing to do,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From where I sit, to open up the Green Mountain National Forest to all-terrain vehicles is not very consistent with what Vermonters want.â&#x20AC;?

Make no mistake, Furnish isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some tree-hugging greenie, nor was he a lefty political appointee. As a career forester, Furnish is an expert on timber management, forest fires and road closures who rose through the ranks to the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number two spot. There, he worked on a number of issues ranging from fish and wildlife to motorized recreation to President Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadless initiative.

Furnish describes himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little bit of an odd duckâ&#x20AC;?: a socially conservative Christian who voted for George W. Bush but who is also very proenvironment. And he readily admits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now â&#x20AC;&#x153;disenchanted,â&#x20AC;? and even â&#x20AC;&#x153;dismayed,â&#x20AC;? with Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies, particularly on the environment.

Furnish dismisses the suggestion that the Green Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ATV proposal is being pushed from Washington, D.C. Forest supervisors such as GMNFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Brewster, he says, have a lot of latitude when they draft a new management plan and must operate in the political and social climate where their forests are located. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my estimation, Vermont has chosen a future for itself that relies on retaining a lot of its New England charm and character,â&#x20AC;? Furnish says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people come here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struck by its beauty and serenity and quietude. And when they leave, they want to come back and tell others itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special.â&#x20AC;?

Furnish believes that the GMNF would be on solid political ground if it decided to back off from the ATV proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were looking at these figures, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be very impressed. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about that 90 percent threshold thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very alluring,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would guess if Senator Leahyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office got a thousand handwritten letters on a topic, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be huge.â&#x20AC;?

More importantly, Furnish suggests that once ATVs are allowed into the Green Mountains, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hard to ever pull back from that decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have ATV use on your forest. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll rue the day you allow this,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to look back 10 years from now and say, man, why did I ever do that?â&#x20AC;? m

Life During Wartime Theater review: Not About Heroes

“

I

Fighting men are being sacrificed, and I make this protest against the deception which is being practiced upon STORY them. Also, I believe it may help to ELISABETH destroy the callous complaisance with CREAN which the majority of those at home regard the continuance of agonies — Not About Heroes, which they do not share, and which they directed and have not sufficient imagination to realize.” produced by Bill Sound like a press release issued by Blachly. Unadilla Theatre, East Calais. bereaved mother Cindy Sheehan? No, August 27, 31, these are the words of Lieutenant Siegfried September 2, 6, Sassoon, a decorated English army officer, 8, 13 & 16, in London, July 1917, three years into 7:30 p.m. $20.

World War I. Disillusioned that the Great War of “defense and liberation” had become “a war of aggression and conquest,” he threw his medals for bravery into the river and submitted a statement of “willful defiance of military authority” to his commanding officer, Parliament and the press.

To silence Sassoon and avoid the bad publicity of court martialing a war hero, the army slapped him with a phony psychiatric diagnosis and shipped him to the Craiglockhart War Hospital for Nervous Disorders in Scotland. There he met Wilfred Owen, a young officer suffering from shell shock. Stephen MacDonald’s play, Not About Heroes, explores the remarkable friendship that developed in this unlikely setting between the two men who would become the Great War’s greatest poets. Under the skillful direction of Bill Blachly, Unadilla Theatre’s moving production is a timely reminder of how the bodies, minds and souls of the young serve as raw ingredients in the sausage-grinding horror of modern warfare.

World War I was a bloodbath: military

casualties alone amounted to more than 10 million dead and 20 million wounded.

After a century without major armed conflict in Europe, the technological achievements of the Industrial Revolution and a host of simmering political resentments created a perfect storm of mechanized savagery.

For four years an incalculable array of armaments blasted the same few square miles of northern France and Belgium into a muddy moonscape. The trenches swallowed up a generation of European men. But from the ugliness of the battlefield came an extraordinary flowering of poets who captured in visceral detail how the new machinery of war tore both man and earth asunder.

Sassoon and Owen were two of the most eloquent. They upended romantic notions of gallantry and heroism in war, and put the brutality and senselessness of the slaughter into stanzas and sonnets.

MacDonald, a Scottish actor and director, drew heavily on the poets’ own words in creating Not About Heroes as a two-man work for the stage.

The play opens at Craiglockhart, where the aspiring but unpublished poet Owen is nervous about approaching the famous Sassoon, who has just moved in down the hall. Owen eventually screws up his courage to knock on the senior officer’s door, bringing several copies of Sassoon’s first book of war poems for him to inscribe. Their initial meeting is awkward; Sassoon, ever the upper-crust Brit, is constitutionally brusque and unsentimental.

But Sassoon eventually warms to Owen’s shy sincerity and recognizes a kindred spirit, one who has a considerable lyrical gift for putting into words the unspeakable things he has witnessed.

first reluctantly — nothing interferes with his morning round of golf. More experienced and better educated than the middle-class Owen, Sassoon provides technical guidance and helps the younger man gain confidence of expression. He soon realizes that Owen’s poetical powers far exceed his own, and grudging affection turns to paternal pride.

As troubled as they are by what they have already endured, both men feel compelled to return to the Front. “I can’t shout any kind of protest until I’ve earned the right,” Owen argues with Sassoon. “It was the medals you threw into the river, not the courage that won them.” Sassoon later dismisses his “courageous” battlefield behavior as acts of anger, revenge and madness.

Both men eventually manage to pass as fit for duty, and throughout Act II the action they face is recounted through the letters and visits they exchange as the war grinds to a close.

Brooke Pearson gave a nuanced portrayal of Siegfried Sassoon, who is riven with inner conflict. Sassoon’s world-weariness and cynicism form a protective mantle, and Pearson effectively captured his character’s ambivalence as Owen unknowingly cracks his armor. Pearson showed Sassoon’s painful emotional growth: how he comes to love Owen, and to fear his young friend’s death far more than his own.

Dan Drew’s performance as Wilfred Owen was much less refined. Owen undergoes a profound transformation over the course of the play: Sassoon’s mentorship releases the poet within him, unlocking words and images bound up by trauma. While Drew affected some of the mannerisms of Owen’s early reticence, such as stammering, his portrayal failed to convince the viewer that surface changes in behavior were driven by his character’s internal growth. In fact, Drew played Owen as an eager-beaver acolyte to Sassoon from start to finish, with too much confidence and physical verve for a character who was supposed to begin the play as a shell-shocked, broken young man.

There were, however, some scenes in which Drew dialed down the emoting and dove beneath the surface of his role to interact powerfully with Pearson, such as when Sassoon and Owen take an evening walk and discuss the terrible news from the Battle of Passchendaele. In a pivotal scene in Act II, when Owen visits a freshly wounded and wheelchair-bound Sassoon, the duo poignantly demonstrated how their roles had shifted. Owen comforts the man who once comforted him, and subtly misleads him about his own imminent departure for France — in part to prevent Sassoon from making good on his threat to bayonet Owen through the leg to prevent him from going.

Unadilla Theatre is a terrific setting for such an intense play; it is intimate without being claustrophobic, and has excellent acoustics for dialogue. The surprisingly comfortable converted sheep barn is nestled high in the hills of East Calais.

Artistic director Bill Blachly is the oneman powerhouse behind Unadilla, and his spare, uncluttered style unified the direction, sets, lighting, costumes and props for Not About Heroes. Every element was meant to support, not get in the way of, the play’s powerful words.

At a time when questioning the wanton overuse of the word “hero” seems unpatriotic, even dangerous, the play has a searing message. Each war death doesn’t create a hero, it enacts a tragedy that continues to tear at the lives of those left behind. Before Sassoon’s final return to France, he warns Owen: “I have every intention of being extremely active when I’m a ghost. And I shall go on haunting you until you achieve all the great things I expect of you.”

But it was Sassoon who had to live among ghosts, until the age of 80, tortured by a survivor’s guilt he could not exorcise. On November 4, 1918, his 25year-old friend Owen was machinegunned to death while leading his company on a mission. It was seven days, to the very hour, before world leaders signed the armistice that ended the war. 쩾

Pop. Art Art review: “Cartoons for Social Change: Political Cartoonists Tackle the Population Problem”

T STORY

PAMELA POLSTON “Cartoons for Social Change: Political Cartoonists Tackle the Population Problem,” entries in the 2004 National Population Cartoon Contest. Lorraine B. Good Room, Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts, Burlington.

Through August.

Visit http://www. populationmedia. org/cartoon contest/index. html for more information about the 2005 National Population Cartoon Contest.

Population Media Center President Bill Ryerson will be interviewed and respond to callers on a Channel 17 program, “Mass Media and Population Issues,” on August 25, 5:25 p.m.

here’s nothing funny about overpopulation. Planet Earth’s people surplus is linked to poverty, hunger, global warming, depletion of natural resources, the spread of infectious diseases and a host of other dire problems. Every day, according to the Population Reference Bureau, nearly a quarter-million people are added to the roughly 6.4 billion already here.

But you’d never know it to read the mainstream media, where “there’s a lot of misinformation about family planning and population going on,” according to Bill Ryerson, president of the Shelburnebased Population Media Center. He points to recent articles in such reputable newspapers as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times that suggest we’re facing a “birth dearth.” Except for slight negative numbers in population growth in Europe and Japan, nothing could be further from the truth.

When it comes to the realities of “too much us,” it appears that mainstream media — and many world leaders — are sleeping through the alarm. And that’s one reason Population Media Center decided to launch the National Population Cartoon Contest last year.

“With something humorous, people can deal with a very serious topic sometimes more effectively than anything else,” suggests Ryerson. A traveling exhibit comprising 46 entries is on view this month at Burlington’s Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts — a world premiere, thanks to the proximity of the PMC. The images, most of them line drawings in black-andwhite, are neatly framed and under glass, but a close look reveals some explosive

THINKING, AND ACTING, GLOBALLY

charges. Ryerson is hoping they will arouse public awareness, one exhibit at a time.

“Cartoons for Social Change: Political Cartoonists Tackle the Population Problem” showcases the best of 188 entries from 2004, including grand-prize winner Clay Bennett of the Christian Science Monitor. His cartoon “Be Fruitful and Multiply . . . Now Divide” won him $7000 — a nice follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize he won in 2002 for editorial cartooning. One of the judges was New Yorker cartoonist and Brookfield resident Ed Koren. He says of Bennett’s cartoon, “Visually, it was simple, but it made a direct point.” In the two-panel piece, the left side is filled completely with people; on the right is a single bag of groceries.

Some of Bennett’s other work is on display here as well, including a singlepanel cartoon featuring six thuggish rugby players whose shirts list grim planetary problems such as “species extinction,” “fossil fuel dependency” and “pollution.”

The ball they’re kicking around is a miniature Earth.

The artwork here addresses not just the globe’s sheer numbers of people, but many of the related outcomes — sometimes all in a single panel. In a 2001 Gary Markstein cartoon, from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the headline is “Bush Finds Weapons of Mass Destruction.” In the drawing, the president is stepping off a plane, labeled “Tour of Africa,” and is greeted by four bedraggled natives whose shirts read, “Civil War,” “Poverty,” >> 42A

Population Media Center’s mission is to help stabilize human population numbers “at a level that can be sustained by the world’s natural resources and to lessen the harmful impact of humanity on the Earth’s environment,” says founder and President Bill Ryerson. His strategy? Soap operas. That is, television and radio programming in which sympathetic characters gradually change their attitudes and behavior with regard to birth control, respect — and rights — for women, and other known indicators of family planning and population growth.

This technique of behavior-change communication was developed in Mexico in the 1970s by Miguel Sabido and was found to be extraordinarily effective in pilot programs in his country and beyond. Since its inception in 1998, PMC has established similar programs in 12 countries and has more in development. Four countries were added just this year: Philippines, Jamaica, Niger and Nigeria.

Despite the AIDS epidemic in Africa, Ryerson notes, the populations of most countries on that continent are rapidly expanding.

“In Niger, we’ve just started a project dealing with planned parenthood and child-trafficking issues,” says Ryerson. “With an average eight kids per family, the population is set to quadruple between now and 2050 — it’s currently at about 12.8 million. The subSaharan country, he notes, already is experiencing a “serious famine.”

A Bush administration initiative affecting foreign funding is not helping matters. “For the last four years, the White House has withheld $34 million from the U.N. Population Fund and $18 million from the International Planned Parenthood Federation,” Ryerson says. “These actions have had devastating effects on the health of women in developing countries. On top of this, we have learned that the administration is starting to systematically monitor the websites of organizations that carry out federally funded development programs, with the intention of cutting off those that express any view contrary to administration policies.”

Ryerson, of course, is by no means the only person concerned.

Cornell University scientist David Pimentel has published a series of papers in which he calculates the long-term “carrying capacity” of planet Earth according to current U.S./Europe standards of use and waste. He suggests the globe can support about 2 billion people.

We’re rapidly approaching 6.5 billion. “There’s no way,” says Ryerson, “we can take that population to a Western lifestyle equivalent without facing ecological collapse.”

Meanwhile, the National Academy of Sciences in this country and the Royal Society of London have jointly issued a proclamation that global population must be stabilized as soon as possible in order to avoid catastrophic consequences.

Asked how he sleeps at night, facing such serious issues by day, Ryerson is stoic. “Like a nurse in a hospital, you get used to the fact that you’re dealing with a very scary topic. You just deal with it.”

“HIV/AIDS,” and “Infant Mortality.”

Atlantic Feature Syndicate cartoonist Mark Parisi took a quirky look at suburban sprawl with his 2000 cartoon, in which a group of animals — including the cuddly but fictional Pooh — huddle on a teensy island of woodland surrounded by busy streets.

And speaking of trees, another Clay Bennett work from 2001 tackled the very stuff of publications. The six-panel, col-

ored cartoon illustrates the origins of paper from start — treecutting — to finish: a bundle of delivered newspapers with the screaming, ironic headline, “Depletion of Forests Denounced.”

Since 2004 was the first for the contest, cartoons published over the previous three years were accepted. This year’s contest covers September 10, 2004 to September 30, 2005, and entries must have been pub-

lished in a “reputable,” U.S.based publication. “We’d love to do [a contest] in each country, but we’re limited in budget — and our primary goal is to wake up the American public on the issue. Besides,” he adds, “no one panel of judges could be expected to look at cartoons in hundreds of languages.”

In English alone, it appears the word “overpopulation” gives editorial cartoonists plenty to draw from. 쩾

THE PEOPLE PROBLEM: FACING THE FACTS â&#x20AC;˘ Global population has doubled during the last 45 years. If the present growth rate of 1.3 percent per year persists, the population will double again within 50 years. â&#x20AC;˘ The U.S. population stands at nearly 300 million. It has doubled in the last 60 years. With a growth rate of 1.1 percent per year, the population will double again in less than 70 years. â&#x20AC;˘ Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present population of 1.4 billion, despite the governmental policy of permitting only one child per couple, is still growing at an annual rate of 0.6 percent.

â&#x20AC;˘ India, with nearly 1.1 billion people, has a current population growth rate of 1.7 per year. This translates to a doubling time of 41 years. â&#x20AC;˘ The populations of Chad and Ethiopia are projected to double in 21 and 23 years, respectively. â&#x20AC;˘ The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest countries are set to triple their populations by 2050. â&#x20AC;˘ The World Health Organization estimates that more than 3 billion people are malnourished. â&#x20AC;˘ Some 2.5 million people in approximately 3000 villages in Niger are at risk of food shortage, including about 800,000 children. â&#x20AC;˘ Globally, available per capita cropland is now about 0.23 hectare, down from 0.5 in 1960.

â&#x20AC;˘ The International Food Policy Research Institute estimates that 10 million hectares of cropland worldwide are abandoned each year due to soil erosion and diminished production caused by erosion. â&#x20AC;˘ Erosion losses are critical because topsoil replacement is very slow: it takes about 500 years for 1 inch to reform.

â&#x20AC;˘ Aquifers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; underground water preserves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also recharge slowly, about 0.1 to 0.3 percent per year, according to the UN Environment Programme. â&#x20AC;˘ The capacity of the Ogallala aquifer, which is underneath parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas, has decreased 33 percent since about 1950. Withdrawal from the aquifer is three times the recharge rate. â&#x20AC;˘ According to the World Health Organization, developing countries discharge 95 percent of untreated urban sewage directly into surface waters. â&#x20AC;˘ In 1973, the U.S. had to import 38 percent of its oil. The figure is now 55 percent. Because of population growth, by 2025 the U.S. will be dependent on foreign oil for 78 percent of its needs. â&#x20AC;˘ British Petroleum and other authorities have estimated that the world supply of oil would last approximately 50 years at current production rates. However, demand is not static but rising dramatically. â&#x20AC;˘ Reserves of natural gas in the U.S. may be depleted in 20 years; about 90 percent of all U.S. oil resources already have been mined, according to oil geologist Walter Youngquist, formerly with Exxon.

COOL & THE GANG

FAIR PLAY

Vermont’s eternally hip matron of eclectic rock, Peg Tassey, is back. Although, like Jay-Z, she went into self-imposed musical exile last year, it seems that she has trouble adjusting to musical retirement.

Tassey’s latest group, Louder, features an interesting combination of talents, including Big Apple-based cellist Indigo Ruth-Davis, as well as Five Seconds Expired and Minimus skinsman Gary Williams. Peg contributes powerful, witchy vocals and skeletal guitar.

The group makes its area debut at Nectar’s on August 25, following a special acoustic set from the central Vermont chanteuse featuring special guest David Symons of the Black Sea Quartet. But wait, there’s more: Tassey’s cellist is also in a little band from NYC called Pagoda, whose chief songwriter, Michael Pitt, may or may not be some kind of movie star.

Pagoda will headline the show in their first Vermont appearance.

I did a little digging and found out that the band also recorded the soundtrack to Gus Van Sant’s quasi-biopic Last Days, a film loosely based on the troubled life of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. I’m not going to tell you who plays the lead role, but it’s pretty easy to find out.

Pagoda’s demo disc mysteriously appeared on my desk last week, complete with a cryptic post-it note. Ah, the pitfalls of self-promotion. The group’s punky, urban rock actually bears some similarity to the aforementioned Seattle trio, but with considerably less pathos. Like the Velvet Underground with a modernrock edge, Pitt and co. craft spiky, melodic tunes with unconventional hooks and a detached temperament. Pop-culture pedigree aside, Pagoda pack an electrified punch that should be a fine finale to an evening of left-of-center rock ’n’ roll.

Louder and Pagoda will give an outdoor performance at Bear Swamp Road in Middlesex the following evening, before heading back to Burlington to invade Radio Bean the night after that. Expect a report next week.

When the Champlain Valley Fair kicks off this week, you can expect the usual giant vegetables, fried dough and slightly spooky carnies. But this year’s attractions also include a healthy dose of rock ’n’ roll, and I’m not just talking about aging longhairs jamming at the grandstand.

Those tireless promoters of local music at Big Heavy World have teamed up with fair organizers to present a live music series that should keep the midway thumping. More than 15 local acts of nearly every rock flavor will perform in the Vermont State Building in the fair’s self-declared “Awesome Zone.” Hey, that’s what I call my desk at Seven Days.

Anyway, said zone also features extreme motorcyclists, diving penguins and tons of video games. You know, sort of like your own house, but with bikers and waterfowl.

Top area talent such as The Year’s Best, The Wards, Minimus, My Revenge, James Kochalka Superstar, Lightning Ridge, The Cush and Swale are all confirmed to appear. The music runs every night at 8 p.m. from August 27 to September 4, with the following evening’s entertainment kicking off at 6. The best part is that all this rock is free with your admission ticket. That means if you’re feeling a little dizzy from the Tilt-a-Whirl, you can heighten the experience with an earful of loud music at no extra charge. For a complete lineup and showtimes, log on to http://www.bigheavy world.com/rockthefair or call Jim Lockridge at 865-1140. See you there.

TESTAMENT TO A FRIEND

Fans of Vermont’s retired jam idols Phish will soon have something more than a Picture of Nectar to stare at while listening to the group’s trippy tunes. A far-out coffee-table tome entitled Phanart: The Art of the Fans of Phish will feature artwork created by the group’s legendarily obsessed followers and inspired by the Phab Four. But before you dismiss the collection as a bunch of stoner doodles on yellow-lined paper, consider the fact that legendary satirical author Kurt Vonnegut is one of several celebrity contributors.

As brainchild Pete Mason explains, “There was a culture and community established at Phish shows that really reflected the positive emotions inspired by the band.” That same culture and community also made some tasty grilled-cheese sandwiches.

Joking aside, the book also supports a good cause: All proceeds will go to the Phish-sponsored music-education organization The Mockingbird Foundation.

It’s not too late to get involved — the jammy journal isn’t set for release until Fall 2006. Fans can go to http://www.pha nart.net to contribute their art. And if you haven’t yet completed your life-size oil painting of Trey, don’t worry — Mason and team are looking for original posters, bumper stickers, shirts, tattoos and painted cars as well. I’m thinking about crafting some psychedelic macramé. How ’bout you?

THE GOOD BOOK

The untimely passing last February of beloved Burlington folk singer, activist and arts supporter Rachel Bissex was a blow to many in the local community and beyond. A prolific songwriter and engaging performer, her music continues to have an effect on artists ranging from aspiring folkies to established recording artists. In order to celebrate Bissex’s life and work, a bevy of her talented peers have come together to create a tribute CD (see this week’s “Review This”) in her honor.

Remembering Rachel is the two-disc fruit of their labors.

Featuring performances from singer-songwriting authorities such as Dar Williams, Patty Larkin, Catie Curtis, Lucie Blue Tremblay, Kate McDonnell, The Kennedys and Diane Ziegler, the collection is an all-star monument to Bissex’s unique talents.

With all proceeds from the sales of the album going to her children’s college fund, fans can rest assured that buying it will benefit those closest to Bissex’s heart. You can also visit http://rachelbisssex.org to contribute directly.

Remembering Rachel is available at local shops, as well as online at cdbaby.com. Visit http://www. rachelbissex.com for more informaRACHEL BISSEX tion about the project.

FREEDOM FIGHTERS :: Hip-hop warriors dead prez make politically charged music that deals with global, cultural and personal issues. Featuring the microphone and production talents of M-1 and Sticman, the group’s fiery, smart raps have earned them major underground cred. Their latest record, Revolutionary But Gangsta, finds them waxing poetic about such topics as social injustice and overcoming addiction.

Don’t miss the poli-sci pedagogues this Friday at the Positive Pie II in Montpelier.

reviewthis THE SMITTENS, A LITTLE REVOLUTION

VARIOUS ARTISTS, REMEMBERING RACHEL (Self-released, CD)

(North of January, CD) The cuddly charisma of Burlington’s lo-fi pop champions The Smittens has won them fans in the Green Mountains and beyond. Featuring a who’s who of the local indie scene, the band strums and chums their way through cheekily romantic tunes with childlike enthusiasm. Their sophomore effort, A Little Revolution, improves on the musical formula first heard on their debut, but retains the feelgood vibe that has endeared them to so many.

Opener “My Favorite Dream” tumbles in with bombastic tom-tom rolls and ’60s-style guitar. Tinkling piano and churchlike chimes provide the backdrop for a sugar-sweet duet between co-vocalists Colin Clary and Dana Kaplan. Their innocent lyrics and coy delivery recall the golden age of teen pop, with just a hint of psychedelia thrown in for good measure. Keyboardist/vocalist Max Andrucki’s captivating baritone joins Kaplan’s girlish croon on “Jeans & Mittens,” a paean to romance on a crisp Northeastern day.

The chiming, Byrds-like intro of “Stop the Bombs” is lovely, as is the Phil Spector-gone-new-wave lurch of “The Garden.” On this track, Andrucki once again shows off his low-toned pipes as drummer Holly Chagnon holds a steady backbeat. Bassist David Zacharis — often referred to as “the Greek one” in the band’s promotional literature — thrums along with unpretentious root notes.

Clary takes a turn on lead vocals on the dreamy “Party Time,” before being replaced by Kaplan’s hazy melodies in the second verse. An album highlight, the track marries the layered density of shoe-gazer rock with more toothsome pop flavors. The festive “Good Migrations” features the hilarious opening line, “Why can’t there be Hanukkah in springtime / Why did they have to bury it in the snow?” delivered in peculiar deadpan by Andrucki. The chorus provides a list of tropical climes the band would prefer to celebrate the holiday in. With its shaggy charm and faux orchestral arrangement, the tune is one part Bacharach and two parts Elf Power. The idyllic “Flowers, Kisses You” closes the record like a gentle breeze on a late summer’s evening. It’s a sweet finish for an album’s worth of ear candy.

The band’s DIY approach might not be for everyone. Unlike other sunshine-pop groups such as the Wondermints, The Smittens prefer their music to be a little rough around the edges. Still, this quirky quintet just wants to feel good, and chances are A Little Revolution will make you feel that way, too. Catch their CD release party with Physics Club, Pony Up! and James Kochalka Superstar Thursday, August 25, at Club Metronome.

Vermont songwriter Rachel Bissex’s untimely death from cancer earlier this year affected many in the local arts community. As a testament to her considerable body of music, Bissex’s friends and musical associates came together to honor her memory. The fruit of their labor is a double-disc set entitled Remembering Rachel. This tribute album boasts an impressive roster of musicians, local and otherwise.

Bissex was a rare talent who was always working on one project or another. She spent nearly 15 years on the road, living the rugged life of a touring songwriter. In the course of her travels, she made many friends, several of them major musical talents in their own right. Bissex’s lifelong dedication to supporting other artists was appreciated by nearly everyone she encountered, so it’s fitting that so many of her peers appear on this disc. Produced by longtime friends and Kerrville Folk Festival icons Victor Heyman and Tom PrasadaRao, Remembering Rachel is lovingly assembled. And it’s for a good cause, too: All proceeds will go towards the college educations of Bissex’s two children.

This righteous, heartfelt set will no doubt provide a new musical experience for fans accustomed to hearing Bissex’s singular style. Although there are quite a few “folk superstars” on the release — including Dar Williams, Patti Larkin, Tracy Grammer, Luci Blue Tremblay, Sloan Wainwright, Annie Gallup, Ruthie Foster and Catie Curtis — what truly impresses is the remarkable adaptability of Bissex’s compositions.

While most of the contributors don’t try to emulate her sound, a few do — perhaps they failed to recognize that they’re entitled to their own interpretations. Nevertheless, the important thing is that the spirit of the songwriting shines through no matter who’s singing.

In addition to covers, the disc features a chilling and tender number written and performed by Bissex’s husband Steve Goldberg. Entitled “Flame Warm,” the cut’s haunting melancholy is reminiscent of early Leonard Cohen. The collection wraps up with a previously unavailable and particularly lovely live version of Bissex’s signature tune, “Dancing With My Mother,” as performed by herself. It’s a fine close to an album brimming with beautiful moments. Although nothing can replace Bissex in the hearts of her fans and loved ones, Remembering Rachel is a wonderful memento of a talented and much-admired performer.

TALKS/ EVENTS

Tea for 22

T EXHIBIT “The Art of Tea,” a group show of tea ware and accoutrements in multiple media.

Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green.

Through September 8.

ARTWORK “Pink Cup” by Sandra Berbeco

PHOTO Marc Awodey

hanks to the Dutch in New Amsterdam — now called New York City — tea was popular in America several years before it conquered England. Sailing to Asia regularly while the English were tied up in civil wars, the Dutch loved the stuff and carried it with them wherever they went. Tea arrived in Britain in the early 1650s, but didn’t really catch on until King Charles II returned from exile to merry old ale-sodden England in 1660. His genteel, gilded exile had been idly passed in that tea-cozy land called Holland. An England without tea would have been unbearable, and so the rest, as Sir Thomas Lipton once said, is history.

Through September 8, the Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green is devoted to tea with a 22-artist exhibition in multiple media. Aptly called “The Art of Tea,” it’s not just about the actual drink; the exhibition includes art that depicts the accoutrements of teatime. The largest object in the collection is an outsized pot.

Catherine Clear’s gigantic scrap-metal teapot in the gallery’s front yard is made from a 3.5-cubic-foot cement mixer.

Applied fittings, such as a handle and spout made from the fancy arms of a park bench, turn it into a whimsical pot suitable for hundreds of gallons of tea.

Its pedestal is covered with a tablecloth.

Diane Gabriel’s “Child’s tea dress (with tucked bodice and cap sleeves)” is hung from the gallery ceiling and floats overhead like a diminutive angel dress — except it’s made from spent tea bags.

The gossamer material is a lovely shade of reddish brown. Jamie Greenbaum’s “Ema” utilizes the same humble material, fashioning the bags into a concentric series of wall-mounted circles.

a fascination with beetles and frequently includes them in her box-like assemblages. Her “Specimen #48” is a golden teacup full of the glistening insects.

Other works in the exhibition are two-dimensional, such as Davis Tecell’s lithographic series “Tea Bowl Field Traces.” The vertical compositions portray tea bowls in bucolic settings.

Sandra Berbeco’s three portraits of

“The Art of Tea” demonstrates that Darjeeling, orange pekoe and Earl Grey have never left the American imagination.

Ginny Joiner’s “Isak Dinesen’s Tea Tray” includes an expertly painted trompe l’oeil cup of tea, correspondence and reading glasses. Joiner’s watercolor “Proust’s Teacup” also draws a link between the popular beverage and a literary figure.

Jean Cannon’s watercolor “Broken Dishes #2” is a horizontal composition comprising brightly colored shards. But most of the other tea services are intact, and run the gamut from traditional to surreal. Among Miriam Adams’ cups and saucers are a rubber snake, wishbones, ribbon, scissors, hair and other mysterious items that create odd narratives within the cups. Jennifer Koch has

teacups are textured canvases, each with a big cup squarely centered in the scene. In “Yellow Phoenix,” a winged cup hovers against a yellow background; in “Pink Cup,” her cartoonish subject is housed in a Baroque frame. Thanks to Berbeco’s vigorous paint handling, her versions of the mundane as monumental avoid becoming monumentally mundane.

Despite its famous tea party, America eventually became infatuated with coffee beans. But “The Art of Tea” demonstrates that Darjeeling, orange pekoe and Earl Grey have never left the American imagination. m

Barbara Wagnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current exhibition at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne is well worth more than a glimpse. Her impeccable use of color and inventive visual textures qualify her as one of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest neoabstract expressionist painters. This exhibition of 17 paintings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a suite of nine panels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is fit to be lingered over.

PETTY IN PINK The latest from Jim Jarmusch proves less a minimalist work than a minor one.

m going to have to see this again. Not because I think it was a great film, but because I can’t figure out why every other critic in the country does. A quick visit to Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes confirms it: Broken Flowers has yet to get a negative review. And the lovefest isn’t confined to this country. The picture won the Grand Prix at Cannes.

Unless I missed something, though, the latest from director Jim Jarmusch isn’t so much a minimalist work as a minor one.

By now, of course, Bill Murray has got his great stone-face act down to a science. It worked brilliantly in Lost in Translation and better than most reviewers seemed to appreciate in The Life Aquatic, but those films had splendid, idiosyncratic scripts. They were made by filmmakers who understand that the first duty of a comedy is to be funny. Not ironic, vague or hiply oblique.

Jarmusch here seems less interested in amusing his audience than in impressing it with his indifference, Murray plays yet another middle-aged, emotionally disconnected figure. Don Johnston is a man who has had two predominant interests in life: computers and women. The former has made him rich, though we’re never told how. The latter has made him numb. At the start of the film his current lover (Julie Delpy) walks out on him, and he can barely summon sufficient interest to stop watching his widescreen TV and walk her to her car.

We know this has happened to him before, and that he has been something of a Don Juan. We know this because his nextdoor neighbor (Jeffrey Wright) constantly refers to him as a Don Juan, and because the movie he is watching as Delpy leaves him is 1934’s The Private Life of Don Juan. Subtle.

A pink envelope arrives in the mail on this same day. Some time passes before Murray opens it. Instead, he sits bolt upright on his sofa staring blankly ahead. Jarmusch gives us shot after shot like that to underscore the character’s paralysis, or passivity, or whatever it is. We’re never told that, either.

Anyway, after lots of shots of Murray sitting and staring, the director finally lets him open the envelope. It’s a letter from a former lover, who announces that he has a 19-year-old son who may or may not be searching for him. The writer does not sign the letter and, improbably, its postmark has faded to the point that it’s unreadable even under a microscope.

Murray’s character, we’re to assume, would just go back to staring straight ahead after reading this letter if not for the intervention of Wright, who plays a lovable buttinski and amateur sleuth. He forces his friend to make a list of all the women who

could’ve written the mysterious note, Googles all five of the gals (one of whom turns out to be deceased), and then books Murray plane tickets, motel rooms and rental cars for a trip down memory lane. His final bit of advice: “The letter is on pink stationery.

Give them pink flowers and watch their reaction.”

And watch their reactions is what we do for pretty much the rest of the film. Jarmusch’s script is an exercise in ambiguity.

Every encounter is written in such a way as to provide a reason or two for believing the woman Murray visits may have written the letter (each possesses something conspicuously pink, for example), and an equal number for determining she couldn’t possibly have.

Each woman is played by a talented actress — Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Jessica Lange and Tilda Swinton — and each enlivens her offbeat, open-ended vignette. By the end of the journey, Murray has had a few laughs (and I do mean few) and learned very little. The same is true of the audience.

Now, I’m not saying a movie’s only worth watching to the extent that it spells out everything for the viewer. On the other hand, it’s nice when a story has a point, characters are defined, and directorial mannerisms aren’t the main attraction. Murray’s performance in Broken Flowers has been described frequently as “doleful” and “droll.” Nobody loves the guy more than I do, but I didn’t see it. To my mind, it borders on self-parody.

Jarmusch told a reporter for Interview magazine that the film is about overcoming stasis and moving forward with one’s life.

Well, Johnston’s succeeded in his field and retired rich. He’s dating women half his age. Sounds like there may be people on his block with bigger problems.

The director added that he also wanted to leave the viewer with a sense of the Buddhist belief that everything other than the present is an illusion. Which raises the question: Why make a movie about a man examining his past?

Sometimes less isn’t more. And sometimes corny isn’t ironic; it’s just corny. Murray turns on his television in one scene just in time to catch a snippet from an old cartoon. A roulette wheel spins and stops on the word “son.” It’s an often-used device employed here to obvious effect. In the film’s final scene, Johnston is left standing at a literal crossroads. Critics groaned when Robert Zemeckis pulled the same hokey stunt at the end of Cast Away. I haven’t heard any groaning about the end of Broken Flowers, though. I don’t know how it could be, but I seem to be the only critic in the country who wasn’t tickled pink. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Animating Reality “No Place Like Home” screens August 25, 8 p.m., at the Plainfield Community Center, and will also feature “When Little Pieces of Very Big Things Break Off and Fall,” a puppet show

by Clare Dolan. “No Place Like Home” will also show August 28, 5 p.m., at Bread and Puppet Theater, Glover.

gloomy characters populating an Ingmar Bergman classic.

Holch moved to New York City for six years, earning an MFA in film and video from Bard College in 2000. She taught at New School University, did post-production chores on docs for HBO and MTV, and visited Macedonia to shoot a dance performance that was streamed live over the Internet. She notes that her work has been showcased at film festivals around the country, as well as at “various nontraditional sites, including the walls of endangered community gardens, courtyards of downtown cultural centers, public libraries and the sides of old barns.”

“Rocket Girl’s Revenge” is a 1993 short-fiction film targeting an unpleasant landlord. Made in 2000, “Hdwd Floors, No Fee, No Pets” — the title borrows lingo from newspaper ads for apartments — skewers the urban realestate boom. Other Holch projects have zeroed in on subjects ranging from the U.S. military in Iraq to drag night at a lesbian café in Brooklyn.

Upon returning to Vermont in 2001, she says, “I chose Hardwick at random because most of my creative base is in the Glover area.”

Holch has since taught animation in after-school programs and video to adult-education students. She created public-service announcements for the Dr. Dynasaur children’s health initiative. A fellowship at the MacDowell Arts Colony in New Hampshire during the winter of 2004 further bolstered her career.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

With “No Place Like Home,” Holch faced new challenges. “It was hard to meet the people I needed to interview because the agencies that help refugees are concerned about confidentiality,” she says.

But Holch discovered that her dental hygienist hails from Bosnia. Through other instances of serendipity, she eventually met enough refugees willing to talk about their lives in Vermont.

translucent tissue paper periodically makes room for magazine pictures or her hand-drawn likenesses of ordinary materials. Holch sketched a length of chain-link and cut out the holes with an Exacto knife to represent the top of an enclosed yard at a detention center that has no windows. In the case of asylum seekers who have been incarcerated in the U.S, “The sky through a chain-link

I want to increase awareness of the refugee experience. I’d like Vermonters to understand their struggles and successes.

VERMONT FILMMAKER MEREDITH HOLCH

Her animation process — the stopaction method rather than computerization — generally involves found objects and art that she constructs. Holch’s 2003 short, “Spoon,” conveys an antiwar message with miniature toys and kitchen utensils. “My Hero,” a 1995 effort, turns a stainless-steel vegetable steamer into a flying saucer.

In “No Place Like Home,” the

grated ceiling is the only glimpse of America [they] can see,” she says.

Holch added a grace note to this critique of the government’s repressive measures. Geese winging their way south over the autumnal pumpkin garden earlier in the film are later glimpsed soaring above the refugees’ grate — surely a symbol of the universal desire for freedom. m

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

Never let a gift horse in the HOUSE. For regularity, eat seventeen servings of FRUIT per day.

Keep a DEER on your fender and beer in your cooler.

BUTTER up your boss with inexpensive baubles.

Expect to find your true love in MAY or October.

If you are being chased by a DRAGON, run to a therapist.

Don’t date a girl who calls herself a DAMSEL. Be sure to GAD about town with wanton floozies.

Get wasted and HORSE around with a Ouija board.

Never hire or FIRE someone whose nickname is “Satan.”

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: 7.5. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

reshly laundered clothes fluttering in the wind. A man planting pumpkin seeds.

Vibrant autumn leaves. These are a few of the everyday images depicted with layered, translucent tissue paper in “No Place Like Home,” Meredith Holch’s 30-minute animated documentary about refugees and asylum seekers in Vermont. The East Hardwick resident uses those simple touchstones as the visual backdrop for recorded interviews with people from Bosnia, Sudan, Somalia, Burundi and Tibet who have resettled in Burlington and Winooski.

The film will screen this week at the Plainfield Community Center and Bread and Puppet Theater in Glover.

“I want to increase awareness of the refugee experience,” explains Holch, a 44-year-old Connecticut native. “I’d like Vermonters to understand their struggles and successes.”

Her own success story was already evident in 1982, when Holch graduated magna cum laude from Duke University. A public policy and French major, she soon found herself in the Green Mountain State picking apples.

Then, while working at an organic basil farm in Putney, Holch caught a Bread and Puppet show and remembers thinking, “Wow, this is really cool.” She migrated further north in the mid1980s to join the troupe, a stint that lasted for five years.

Filmmaking entered the picture when Holch used her father’s old Super-8 camera to shoot “The Hunt,” a 1994 live-action short that improbably combines deer season and the kind of

WORLD MUSIC

Virtuoso performers aren’t new to Vermont’s stages. The Stowe Summer Music Festival stands out, though, for its roster of up-andcoming international talent. Now in its second year, the event features six soloists, from Mexico, Russia, Poland and the U.S., who specialize in cello, piano, French horn and voice.

Compositions from France, Mexico and the Ukraine reinforce the multinational measures in four consecutive concerts. At Sunday’s finale, the newly founded Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas presents “emerging” musicians under the direction of 25-year-old conductor Alondra de la Parra, the first woman from Mexico to be invited to conduct in New York City. Who needs the U.N.?

STOWE SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL Thursday through Sunday, August 25-28, Stowe High School, various times. Free. Info, 253-9554. http://www.stowemusicfestival.com

scene@RABBLE IN ARMS LAKE CHAMPLAIN MARITIME MUSEUM, VERGENNES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 2 P.M. I admit there’s educational value in watching men and women dressed in period garb act out scenes from our nation’s past. Nothing makes history leap from dusty books like a jolting blast of musket fire. Plus, Vermont’s long-forgotten “Black Snake Affair” has an intriguing ring to it. The reenactment of this obscure 1808 incident — a confrontation between an early U.S. border-patrol unit and a group of wily Vermont smugglers — was the centerpiece of the two-day “Rabble in Arms” festival last weekend at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

Everyone certainly got a better understanding of the story: Customs agents captured the Black Snake, a boat the smugglers used to run potash to Canada — an illegal act before the War of 1812. A skirmish ensued. The smugglers killed two customs agents and a civilian. One of the smugglers was eventually tried and hanged in Burlington.

No one was sacrificed in the modern-day version, but reenactors did go to great lengths to recreate history. They wore brass-buckle shoes, straw hats and linen smocks, and carried expensive, authentic muskets.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could never be perfectly faithful to the past. The Black Snake reenactment flunked the faithfulness test from the get-go, seeing as how it actually happened in the Winooski River, not near the southern end of Lake Champlain.

Using a microphone attached to a sound system, narrator Mike Barbieri provided explanatory color commentary throughout the engagement: the past as spectator sport. When the smugglers spotted the customs boat, one of them shouted, “I swear by God there’ll be blood spilled this day!” Barbieri interjected with an aside to the audience.

“There are some great lines that come right out of the trial,” he quipped. He sounded like a stat-happy football announcer when, after one of the customs men was shot, he noted that the barrel of the musket used to shoot him was “about 8 1/2 feet long.”

Granted, some of the anachronistic moments were beyond anyone’s control, such as a ringing cellphone and the motorboat towing a swimmer on an innertube through the harbor. Ultimately, they only underscored the day’s most important lesson — that time passes, and you can never get it back.

FAIR SHAKE

The king of rock may be honored at a grave in Graceland, but he’s also alive and well at the Champlain Valley Fair. An Elvis impersonator chronicles the King’s evolution from hip-swiveling kid to jumpsuited-and-sequined Vegas slickster three times daily, with music and costumes to match. Along with the main stage concerts and midway rides, a plethora of other sideshows — from high-diving “penguins” to a petting zoo — entertain fairground strollers.

Folks looking for more traditional local color can take in statewide flower and veggie competitions or visit livestock pens to see sheep, cows, oxen and rabbits. And, of course, there’s always the chance that a game booth will yield a velvet portrait of a certain someone.

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR Saturday through Monday, August 27 through September 5, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, 10 a.m. - midnight.

Admission $10, parking $4. Info, 878-5545. http://www.cvfair.com

BOAT TOTE

Lake Champlain’s old Island Line railroad causeway-turned-bikepath gives lakeside cyclists a glimpse of South Hero — if they can find a way across a 200-foot, water-filled gap. For the past few years in August, the Burlington-based cycling advocacy nonprofit Local Motion has operated a weekend ferry that bridges the barrier and connects the trail. This summer, the boat service required new docks, but Congressman Bernie Sanders and private donors came through with funds to keep the people-powered transport rolling. According to Chapin Spencer, Local Motion’s executive director, the upgrades have streamlined service: “Even on our busiest day, there was no more than a 10-minute wait.” This weekend offers pedal-pushers one last chance to get on board.

PHOTO: SANDRA MANSI

SEE MONSTER

What would you do if you saw, and snapped a picture of, Lake Champlain’s supposedly mythical denizen? Bristol resident Sandra Mansi was faced with that dilemma on a sunny day in 1977, when she spotted what she believes to be the head of a prehistoric whale — and had her camera handy. Mansi talks about her experience with Champ, including the post-sighting publicity storm that resulted in her photo’s publication in The New York Times. Mansi says, “I do know the lake holds something,” Mansi says. “This creature has learned to co-exist with us . . . My hope is that we will take note and clean up the lake.” Hear, hear.

ALL IN THE FAMILY

Every clan has secrets, but it’s not always easy to show what they are. The musical John & Jen makes an attempt. Close to her younger brother John since his birth, Jen protects him from an abusive dad throughout their childhood. But the two grow apart after she leaves for college, and by the time the Vietnam War rocks the nation, Jen is a peace-loving, drug-taking hippie and her brother has enlisted in the Marines. Two decades later, Jen struggles to raise and let go of her own son, who’s named after her brother. The play’s 40-year span may inspire baby-boomer nostalgia, but it also serves up a prescient peek at how families change — and how they stay the same.

‘JOHN & JEN’ Wednesday through Sunday, August 24-28, and Tuesday through Sunday, August 30 through September 4, Weston Rod & Gun Club, various times. $25-28.

Info, 985-3638 or www.shelburnecraftschool.org.

Students will begin with simple, yet gratifying sample pieces using pre-cut copper shapes, stencils, glass threads and beads.

Included in the sample pieces will be wearable earrings, bracelets, and pendants. These projects will enable the student to move on to the next level of techniques such as wet packing and cloisonne. Wet packing requires the use of fine paint brushes to facilitate the placement of enamel, creating a painterly effect. This painting technique naturally leads the student toward the art of cloisonne. Using pliers and tweezers students will bend and shape cloisonne wires into enclosed forms that will then be filled with enamel and dried. As a final project, students will be encouraged to enamel a copper dish or shallow bowl using any or all of the techniques learned in class.

This class will focus on acquiring jewelry-making skills and techniques, while learning the art of fine craftsmanship. The class is structured so that each student will complete a series of practice pieces before designing and creating a wearable, finished piece of jewelry. Each week there will be several demonstrations including; sawing, drilling, piercing, filing, annealing, forming, and soldering. Practice pieces will include making a simple ring, earrings, bracelet and pendant. The first half of the course will concentrate on learning to cut, shape, and form metal wire and sheet, with an emphasis on soldering. The second half of the course will concentrate on the final design and careful completion of one project chosen by the student and will incorporate many or all of the techniques learned in class.

Rather than increasing muscle size and bulk the Six Stars focus the Qi, or internal energy, giving a sense of solidity, depth and grounding of the physical body.

L RE A

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Minnesota radio station KNUJ VIRGO came up with a unique proposal for how the governor and top legislators could deal with their intractable conflict: They would have a wrestling match in a large vat filled with sauerkraut. I think you should adopt this idea for your own use, Aries — though I suggest that maybe you and your adversary conduct your grapple in a sweeter-smelling substance than fermented cabbage. How about Jell-O or pudding, for instance? One way or another, find a constructive way to resolve disagreements or hostilities by using a halfplayful, half-serious approach.

TAURUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Who did you start out to be, Virgo? It’s time to remember that. I urge you to muse about the ways you could benefit from renewing a connection to your origins.

Revisit your earliest sources of truth. Think about whether you’re still on track to become the person you knew you could be when your vision was still fresh and innocent. Here’s a good way to anchor your explorations in concrete reality: Meditate on the scientifically verified fact that with each breath, you re-inhale at least one molecule you first took in during the minutes after you were born.

LIBRA

(April 20-May 20): Surveys show that many parents in England cut away the crusts before serving bread to their children. Responding to this need, a baking company has begun marketing bread without crusts. I mention this, Taurus, because pre-made crustless bread is a good metaphor for the experiences you’ll soon be offered in abundance: soft, spongy sweetness that you can freely access without having to break through any hard outer layers. I won’t be surprised if you get tired of it after a while, though, and start seeking out adventures with more crunch. But in the short run you might find it very relaxing.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Physicist Jonathan Huebner says scientists are running out of bright ideas. “We are approaching the point when the rate of innovation is the same as it was during the Dark Ages,” he wrote in New Scientist magazine. That argument seems wrong to me. Everyone I know is awash in the changes unleashed by new technology. But just in case his theory has any merit, I call on Libran inventors to begin reversing the trend. After all, you’re now at the height of your ability to generate constructive novelty. So are all the rest of you Librans, for that matter. Get out there and unleash a flurry of good changes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If you dig a hole deep

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Located north of the Arctic Circle, the Northwest Passage is a body of water that joins the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Large parts of it are frozen over most of the year, though, so it’s not a practical way for ships to travel.

The U.S. regards the Northwest Passage as international territory, but Canada recently claimed it as its own sovereign territory.

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Graham foresees a time when global warming will have melted so much ice that it will become a viable sea route of great value to his country. Be like Graham this week, Scorpio. Peer into the future and scan for potential resources that are as yet unrecognized or unready. Make them yours now, while they’re still cheap and available.

enough into the earth,” the grandmother of my friend Carlos used to tell him when he was a kid, “you can see the sun rise at night.” From a metaphorical perspective, that’s good advice for you right now, Gemini. In order to get to the highest place possible, you might have to dive down deeper than you ever have before. To find the illumination you need, you should probably explore the densest darkness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In his horoscope column in The Onion, retired machinist Lloyd Shumner told those of us born under the sign of Cancer, “You lack initiative, which means that you usually wait until someone yells ‘Get funky!’ before you get funky.” The coming week will be the perfect time for us to prove him wrong, my fellow Crabs. Our initiative will be overflowing, especially in regards to tasks that involve getting funky.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the legends of many

cultures, every one of us has a doppelganger somewhere on the planet: a person who looks exactly like us. The modern sciences of genetics and statistics go further, saying that there are at least 80 people worldwide who are our spitting image. If you’re ever going to meet one of these doubles, Leo, it will probably be in the coming weeks. But even if you don’t, I predict that the whole world will become a giant mirror, reflecting back to you visions of yourself that you haven’t been able to see before.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I live 6 miles from one of the world’s most notorious penitentiaries, San Quentin. Both Charlie Manson and Sirhan Sirhan have spent time there, and a recent riot injured 42 inmates. Though I’ve never had a major itch to visit the place, I felt differently after hearing about a gift store within the prison walls. I corralled a friend and the two of us made an impulsive field trip there. As we grazed amidst the prisoners’ handiwork, including birdhouses fashioned out of cigar boxes, paintings of clowns on velvet and banjos made from bedpans, I had a psychic epiphany. I realized that my situation was similar to your imminent future: You, too, will find weird little treasures while just visiting a place where other people are trapped.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s discuss the differences between dumb, unproductive pain and smart, useful pain.

The former is the kind you keep being drawn back to out of habit.

It’s familiar and therefore perversely comfortable. The latter is the kind of pain that surprises you with valuable teachings and inspires you to see the world with new eyes. While stupid pain is often born of fear, wise pain is stirred up by love. The dumb, unproductive stuff comes from allowing yourself to be controlled by your early conditioning and from doing things that are out of harmony with your essence. The smart, useful variety arises out of a willingness to live passionately and with a sense of adventure. Can you guess which type I’m urging you to gravitate toward right now, Capricorn?

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To promote my new book, Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia, I’ve tried to set up lectures at bookstores. One place I contacted was A Clean Well-Lit Place for Books in San Francisco. It turned me down. Ironically, I was later able to score a gig at a spot called A Dirty Poorly-Lit Place for Books. It’s a seedy dive in a rundown neighborhood. My audience was a handful of rowdies instead of the well-heeled crowd that might have seen me at the other store, and I sold just one book. But I enjoyed my time thoroughly, as my uninhibited congregation joined me in my favorite rituals, like kicking our own asses, burning money, throwing imaginary stones at heaven, and dancing in slow-motion on tabletops. Would audience members at A Clean Well-Lit Place for Books have done that? I think not. The moral of the story, Aquarius: It’ll be very lucky if you, like me, have to settle for your second choice in the coming week.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t need to know how your computer and car work in order to use them. Their inner workings may be unfathomable, but that doesn’t matter as long as you benefit from what they do for you. Let’s apply that same principle to a certain relationship that is perplexing you. You obviously get something out of your alliance with this person, since you’ve chosen not to leave it. Yet you seem bothered by the fact that you can’t figure out what you are to each other and where you’re supposed to go next. My advice? For now, stop trying to understand it.

Just surrender to the fruitful mystery. Simply let your connection perform its enigmatic magic.

LOLA

the love love counselor counselor the Dear Lola, I’ve been dating a girl for a few months and it’s starting to get intimate.

The sex is great, but the first time I started to go south she stopped me. A week later I began kissing my way down, and again she resisted.

Turns out that when she was a teenager her stepfather molested her, and so the act stirs up painful memories for her. I love her, and I’m trying to be supportive and understanding, but dining “down there” is a favorite for me. If she hasn’t gotten over the bad vibes in four years, will she ever? I’m not sure if it’s a deal breaker, and I need some support.

Frustrated in Ferrisburgh Dear Frustrated, Four years isn’t particularly long to be traumatized by the sort of violation your girlfriend experienced. You can help by hearing her out, encouraging her to get professional help, and showing her she can trust you — which will take more than a few months. Do you love her enough to be patient? That’s your call. The same goes for how crucial eating at the Y is to your overall sexual satisfaction.

Love, Lola
