ROOM FOR SKEPTICISM?

Rick Kisonak admires Control Room [“Tubefed,� July 21], a film that, in turn, depicts sympathetically the Arab TV news operation Al Jazeera.

So we have one medium patting another on the back for patting yet a third, with nary a harsh word among them. I liked them both, too, but, in the face of so much mutual admira-

tion, I have second thoughts and wonder why a professional critic like Rick isn’t there ahead of me.

The one incontrovertible strength of Control Room is to show Al Jazeera to be a slick, sophisticated organization of knowledgeable people.

Disappointingly, we see that Islam is, after all, in the same boat with us.

Rupert Murdoch probably doesn’t own Al Jazeera, but who does? What is its revenue, its capital funding? Its non-war programming? Naturally, it put on its best face, but why didn’t the filmmaker probe further? Why did Rick accept it all so readily?

Charges of media bias fly about freely nowadays, a sure sign that more serious concerns are being overlooked. All communication is biased, but people are differentially gullible. Criticism can counter that gullibility; a critic’s middle name should be Skepticism, not Admiration.

Media have different constraints, and bias comes partly from those.

Economics is one; editorial imposition, another. For instance, a letter like this can be only 250 words, where 600 would barely be enough to outline arguments that might draw enough intelligent response, to draw further response, and so amount to a debate. Too bad for all of us.

in paper rags, and we created it. We needed it and we created it and it gives us what we want. It lives and thrives in an environment that only exists in the realm of man — banks and real estate and profit. Wal-Mart is no cause of sprawl and poverty. It is the result, not the cause. Unlivable wages, lack of health care and greed for resources have always been, long, long before Wal-Mart. Yet we attack this entity, we picket and march, and grannies sing its name with slander.

Wal-Mart will never hear the songs, nor see the marches nor read the articles. We attack Wal-Mart because somewhere, way deep in our minds, we know it will not hear us or show at the marches or respond to the articles. We attack lifeless brand names because we know there is no fight. We attack Wal-Mart because we will never have to watch it bleed or see its face turn pained from insult. We are cowards and soft.

Sprawl happens because we no longer know our neighbors, nor do we sift the earth through our hands.

And it is not Wal-Mart that is cheap, but we that are poor, and we buy the junk that lies and tells us otherwise.

Somewhere in China a man or woman or child is working the line, assembling some food dehydrator and thinking, who buys this? We do.

What is Wal-Mart if it is not you and I and us? The cover of Seven Days would be more accurate picturing Al Norman or myself, with the title — Wal-Mart.

Bikers Rule!

H

oward Dean, in sweat-soaked shirt and shorts, was the star Sunday-morning attraction as the $3.5 million triple-spanned bridge and causeway across the mouth of the mighty Winooski River officially opened. It was a wee bit of a ride down memory lane, too.

The dream of a bikepath along Burlington’s lakeshore, a bikepath that would one day connect to Colchester, Grand Isle and Montréal, first surfaced almost 25 years ago with the formation of a tiny do-gooder group called the Citizens’ Waterfront Group.

A young doctor who had recently completed his residency at the Mary Fletcher Hospital teamed up with a young lawyer who had begun practicing in the Queen City.

Dr. Dean has since gone on to become an American household word, while Rick Sharp has faded from the spotlight.

Few people still remember Sharp’s role. In fact, his name was glaringly absent from Sunday’s program.

Mr. Sharp was in the big crowd, though, and Ho-Ho graciously gave credit where credit was due.

“This would not have happened without Rick Sharp,” said Gov. Dean, pointing out Rick in the crowd for a generous round of applause.

“I was the doctor, but he was the lawyer,” said Dean. “He could figure out how to make all this stuff work.”

Dean also highlighted the contributions of his former secretary of transportation, Brian Searles, and State Sen. Dick Mazza of Colchester, the longtime powerful chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.

Ho-Ho called Mazza “my best friend in the Senate for the entire time I served.”

Our once-favorite presidential hopeful also recalled a lesson he learned years ago from North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt.

“Jim Hunt once told me,” said Dean, “that 90 percent of what we do is urgent. The other 10 percent is important.”

“This is important,” said Ho-Ho, “because it will last long, long after people have no idea who put this together. They will be incredibly grateful,” he predicted, “that we were willing to go to the mat and spend $3.5 million — less than one-tenth of 1 percent of our budget — to make sure this happened. I am so grateful to the people of the state of Vermont who were willing to push this through!”

One unheralded hero of the bike-bridge project was unable to attend, but was fondly remembered nonetheless. Former Colchester Selectboard Chairman Bill Macleay was out for a bike ride along Colchester’s Lakeshore Drive one Sunday morning two years ago this month when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver with her small kids in the back seat.

The current Selectboard chair, Dick Paquette of Shadow Cross Farms fame, told the crowd, “Bill Macleay would have been so pleased to see this. It was one of his top priorities.”

Local Motion Director Chapin Spencer echoed the Egg Man’s tribute to MacLeay.

“Bill was a tireless advocate for this project,” said Spencer. A memorial bench in MacLeay’s honor, he noted, has been installed on the Colchester side of the bridge.

Ah, sometimes life’s not fair, is it?

If anything, the grand opening of the beautiful bridge and causeway is proof that good things take time. Persistence is the key.

Dick the Egg Man waxed philosophically: “This was not an easy project to move forward. However, nothing that is worthwhile is easy to accomplish.”

Amen.

P.S. Gov. Jim Douglas brought his own bicycle from Middlebury and pedaled the last two miles north from Leddy Park. Hey, we’re in the middle of a campaign, folks.

Unfortunately for Gov. Scissorhands, we didn’t see his bicycling butt on TV. Same with Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, his Democratic opponent.

In fact, get this — Clavelle and Douglas were dressed like twins! Each was attired in a green knit shirt with tan pants. Must be the Vermont gubernatorial look, eh?

The duo also appeared to be following one unwritten political rule: Male candidates should not bare their knees.

Former Gov. Dean, however, is not running for anything at the moment. He wore shorts, as he and his beloved wife, Dr. Judy Dean, pedaled the entire 6.5 miles up the bikepath from their South Cove hacienda.

Unlike the candidates, however, Ho-Ho and Judy walk on the wild side — they rode without bike helmets, the wind in their hair!

Biker Jim? — Our governor has spent his entire adult life in politics and, believe me, it shows. On Friday, two days before the big Bike Bridge ribbon-cutting, Gov. Douglas issued a press release: “Governor Announces $2 Million Available for Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects.”

It took a few people by surprise, including members of the State Senate and state bicycle path advocates.

That’s because, since taking office, Douglas has not exactly championed the pedal projects. In fact, Gov. Douglas was so miffed at his predecessor’s spending on twowheeled travel routes while letting the potholes grow, the new governor quickly instituted a moratorium on bicycle projects last year.

“This now apparently lifts the moratorium,” said one surprised bicycle advocate.

However, Circ Highway Jim finally may not have had a genuine conversion. Seven Days has learned Douglas is doing no more than what the legislature passed — over his objections!

Under the golden dome, bikepaths have no better friend than the Senate Transportation Committee chaired by Sen. Dick Mazza.

Mazza told Seven Days he and Sen. Phil Scott, the Republican race car driver, were both surprised by the governor’s $2 million announcement last week. Despite the Douglas administration opposition and that of the GOP-controlled House, said Mazza, they had been able to slip only about $90,000 into the budget this year to keep the bikepath program barely alive and eligible for federal funds in the future.

The $2 million Douglas is talking about, said Mazza, is money that will hopefully be appropriated over the next three to five years no matter who is governor.

Nonetheless, Gov. Scissorhands gets high marks for timing and spin. Balls, too. That’s what it takes to take credit for the the accomplishments of your opponents. You’ll know the race is getting close when Jimbo starts takINSIDE TRACK >> 16A

Raw Deal?

A

nyone who’s ever waited tables for many years — or held any low-wage job, for that matter — has probably worked for a “boss from hell.” Charles Reeves, owner of Penny Cluse Café in Burlington, isn’t one of them. In fact, his employees say he’s a really nice guy to work for. Which may explain why Reeves and his wife, Holly Cluse, have maintained a relatively stable staff of employees — at least, as stable as they get in the food-service industry in a college town.

The downtown eatery has been open for six years. Until last year, Reeves had fired just one employee, who later filed an unemployment claim with the state, and that occurred within the first year of business. With such a stable record of employment, one would think that Penny Cluse wouldn’t be paying much in unemployment insurance, right?

Reeves isn’t looking for sympathy — just someone who acknowledges the absurdity of his situation and has the authority to do something about it.

Wrong. Last year, Reeves got a letter from the Vermont Department of Employment and Training (DET), notifying him that a second employee had filed for unemployment. The employee, who had worked part-time at Penny Cluse for six months, was laid off in July 2002 after Reeves and Cluse discontinued their dinner service because it wasn’t profitable.

Although most of the café’s evening staff had been absorbed into the daytime hours, a few workers had to be let go. The employee wasn’t terminated for misconduct and, according to Reeves, his unemployment claim wasn’t “a revenge thing.”

So Reeves didn’t challenge it, and the state awarded the laid-off employee the full benefits to which he was entitled, based on his hours worked and wages earned: a grand total of $31.56.

But that $31.56 benefit is now costing Reeves a lot more. Apparently, even one unemployment claim filed by a part-time employee was enough to bump Penny Cluse into a higher rate class, upping its unemployment insurance taxes by $266.57 a year for the next three years — or nearly $800. Reeves didn’t think that was fair, so he decided to challenge it. “I believe in this system and I want people to get benefits,” Reeves says. “We would not contest it if we felt like it was something that we were actually responsible for.”

Reeves filed an appeal in July 2003.

Four months later, he was granted a hear-

ing before a DET referee, who confirmed that the original calculation was correct and the higher tax rate applied.

Dissatisfied with that decision, Reeves appealed to the DET’s Employment Security Board. Again, he was denied.

“The employer’s arguments certainly remain understandable,” wrote DET referee Joseph Thorpe in his January 2004 decision, “but there is no provision in law to offer them support.”

In laymen’s terms, Reeves was SOL. His final recourse was to appeal that ruling to the Vermont Supreme Court, an option that was financially impractical. As Reeves discovered, challenging the unemployment tax rate is like debating the outcome of a mathematical equation: The calculation is either correct or it’s not.

And in this case, the equation is set in statute and no one but the Legislature has the authority to change it.

These days, few employers would dispute the social value of the unemployment system, which was set up in the 1930s as a way to alleviate the hardship of laid-off workers going without a paycheck. But most of us rarely think about the program’s other policy goal: stabilizing employment. Since a business’s unemployment tax rate is based on the ratio of its total unemployment to its total payroll, the program serves as a disincentive for employers to hire and fire workers at will.

Tom Douse is deputy commissioner of the DET. He says he’s sympathetic to Reeves’ plight, but admits there isn’t much he can do about it since most of the laws governing unemployment taxes are set at the federal level. When asked if there’s anything an employer like Reeves can do to improve his unemployment tax rate, he advises, “Manage their work so that people are not receiving unemployment benefits.” In other words, don’t fire employees unless you absolutely have to.

Douse also notes that unemployment insurance is like any other form of insurance. “There isn’t a one-to-one relationship between the benefits paid by an employer and what their taxes are,” he says. “As you know when you have a car accident, your insurance rate goes up and the same thing happens.”

But Reeves isn’t looking for sympathy — just someone who acknowledges the absurdity of his situation and has the authority to do something about it. Thus far, he’s spent about 20 hours fighting this ruling. “It’s more of a hobby than anything else,” he says with a laugh. And Reeves would gladly reimburse the state the $31.56 it paid to his fired worker.

“But I don’t have that recourse. It’s just a cold, bureaucratic process,” he says. “I don’t want to pay another $800 just because the system doesn’t work right.” >> 20A

he Vermont Transit driver stepped out of his bus and called me over. This is unusual, I thought. I know most of the drivers by sight, and once in a while we nod or wave, but why request a tête-á-tête?

I strode over and the guy put his hand on my shoulder. “I have a couple here who need to get to Howard Johnson’s.”

I said, “That’s cool…”

“But here’s the thing,” he continued.

“They’re blind and deaf.”

“Holy smoke! How do you communicate with them?”

“Easy,” the driver replied. “You take the guy’s palm and spell out what you want to say.” He smiled broadly as he said this. “It works really well.”

First their dog emerged down the three bus steps — a large yellow Lab, the breed often used for seeing-eye duty. The couple followed — mid-thirties, casually dressed.

The man was compact and bald, with a

I took his hand and spelled, “thank you,” and then, “peace.” He smiled at me warmly. neatly trimmed goatee, and he held the leash attached to his dog’s body harness.

His companion was a fair-skinned woman with an aquiline nose and fine, light-brown, shoulder-length hair.

I took the man’s palm in my left hand, and with my right forefinger wrote out, “Hi.” He smiled and nodded a few times.

Meanwhile a bus-terminal employee had carried the couple’s three bags over to my cab and was placing them in the trunk.

My customer made a small grunting sound to get my attention, and then mimed with his hands the outline of a small case. I got what he was saying, and took his hand and spelled, “OK.” Then I removed the smallest suitcase from the trunk and brought it back to him. He took it under one arm, smiled and nodded.

Following my lead, the dog then guided the two of them to my taxi. The pooch got in first, hopping into the back seat, followed by the couple. The man then reached into his case and passed me a piece of paper with the hotel written on it, along with its Shelburne Road address.

I took his hand and again spelled, “OK.” This was enjoyable.

As we drove south on Shelburne Road, the two of them talked and laughed in the back seat. At least, that’s what it looked like in the rear-view mirror. I watched their dancing hands. There was no sound but for the occasional grunt from him or small yelp from her.

They appeared to be employing conventional sign language, but with a twist: Rather than seeing the hand movements, they held each other’s hands to feel the

shapes. It was beautiful and magical to behold.

It was stop-and-go amidst the Shelburne Road widening project — or, as I call it, “Burlington’s Big Dig.” I thought about my customers in the back, but my mind simply could not get around it. I’d been with people who are blind or deaf. I could grasp missing one of these faculties. But both? What was that like?

A flag-person up ahead raised her stop sign, and I eased to a halt in a line of waiting cars. I placed the taxi in park and jammed my thumbs firmly into my ears.

Then I shut my eyes tight and held this position for maybe 10 seconds. I was floored; all I can say is, try it.

The traffic line restarted, and we soon came upon the hotel. I took the left and stopped at the front entrance. Reaching back over the seat, I took the man’s hand and spelled out, “Wait, I’ll go in.” He nodded his assent.

I ambled up to the young woman behind the front desk. “I’m bringing in a couple of folks. I’m guessing you’re expecting them; they’re both deaf and blind.”

“No, not really,” the woman said with a look of mild alarm. She rallied immediately, though. “But this is not a problem.

Bring ’em in; we’ll take good care of them.”

When I returned to the cab the couple had already gotten out. I attempted to lead them through the front door, but the dog was intent on pulling the man off to the side. I figured the critter was disoriented from the long journey and tried to gently steer the guy in my direction. It was man vs. dog for a moment.

Finally, the man shook free of my grip and raised his palm to me. He then followed the animal’s lead over to a small flowerbed, where the doggie relieved himself.

Canine bathroom needs satisfied, our group entered the hotel and approached the front desk. I went back outside to fetch the luggage. When I returned, my female customer had placed a small device on the desk between herself and the front-desk person. It looked like two small, connected keyboards and, somehow, it allowed them to “talk.”

The man must have sensed my presence, because he got my attention and rubbed his thumb and fingers together in the universal gesture for “How much?” I spelled out the number “nine,” and he removed a $10 bill from his wallet, signaling me to keep it. I took his hand and spelled, “thank you,” and then, “peace.”

He smiled at me warmly.

I drove away feeling as if I had been with holy people, and weeks later I’m still touched by the experience. True, I get to witness sunsets over Lake Champlain, and to hear cardinals and Beethoven and gurgling babies. But I feel like there’s something unfathomably rich about the inner world in which these two courageous people dwell. 쩾

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

12A

Dear Cecil, Give us the real scoop. Did the Venona Project establish beyond a doubt that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed as spies in 1953 but proclaimed their innocence, were Soviet agents?

— Jim D., Medford, Massachusetts Of the many revelations since the fall of the Iron Curtain, one of the least expected was that all that McCarthy-era Red-scare-mongering wasn’t pure paranoia. Case in point: the Rosenbergs, long considered victims of a frame-up.

Based in large part on secret Soviet cables decrypted as part of the Venona Project, the verdict of history (for now) is that they didn’t deserve the chair, and Julius Rosenberg was way guiltier than his wife, Ethel, but, yeah, they were spies.

The trial of the Rosenbergs, the only U.S. civilians ever executed for espionage, was one of the most notorious episodes of the cold war. Among other things, Julius was accused of persuading his brother-in-law David Greenglass, a technician at the Los Alamos nuclear lab, to divulge design details for the implosion device needed to trigger the bomb, which were then passed to the Soviets. After a three-week trial, the Rosenbergs were convicted in March 1951 and sentenced to death.

The verdict predictably outraged the left — both defendants had been Communists in the ’30s — but even Pope Pius XII made a pitch for clemency. The critics fell into two camps: Some believed the defendants were innocent; others felt that, regardless of guilt, the sentence was too harsh. The authorities were unmoved. Their appeals exhausted, the Rosenbergs were electrocuted in June 1953.

Belief in the Rosenbergs’ innocence faded in the 1990s. First an expanded edition of Nikita Khrushchev’s memoirs was published, in which the former Soviet premier claimed he’d heard a high official tell Stalin that the Rosenbergs had greatly aided Russia’s A-bomb push.

Then in 1995 the National Security Agency began to declassify files from the Venona Project, until then a lit-

tle-known effort to decode Soviet diplomatic cables. The correspondence contained numerous references to nuclear spying by a party at one point code-named — you can hear the teeth gnashing — “Liberal.” An abundance of biographical details led inescapably to the conclusion that Liberal was Julius Rosenberg. He was no bit player, either, but an energetic recruiter for the Soviet cause.

Still, that doesn’t mean he and his wife deserved the death penalty. True, the Espionage Act of 1917, under which the Rosenbergs were convicted, permitted execution for spying “in time of war.” But you’d think it might count for something that during World War II, when the couple passed along their ill-gotten secrets, the Soviet Union was an ally. For just that reason the UK was obliged to spare the life of physicist Klaus Fuchs, a naturalized British citizen, who confessed to giving information from the Manhattan Project and the British nuclear program to the Soviets and was sentenced to 14 years.

The U.S. legal system drew no such fine distinctions.

Sentencing judge Irving Kaufman blamed the Rosenbergs for the Korean War and said what they’d done was “worse than murder.” Come now. We know today that the Soviets obtained A-bomb secrets from multiple sources — Venona files indicate they had some 350 informants in the U.S. government. Even at the time it was widely assumed that Fuchs had provided the core technical know-how, with the Rosenbergs merely confirming the details. (Actually, some now think the Greenglass info may have given the Russians their first insight into a key feature of imploder design.)

But in the hysterical atmosphere of the early cold war — the Russians had detonated their first atom bomb less than a year before the Rosenbergs were arrested — nobody with a say in the matter, up to and including the Supreme Court, was in the mood to cut the bad guys any slack.

Even if you consider Julius an evil genius, Ethel was at most an accomplice. Prosecutors apparently hoped that leaning hard on Ethel would persuade Julius to talk, but it seems clear the U.S. was set on making an example of them. To paraphrase philosopher Omar Sharif in Dr. Zhivago: Your example, their lives.

That brings up a related question. What about Alger Hiss, convicted of lying to a congressional committee in an equally famous case in 1949-’50? (Long story short: Former Communist Whittaker Chambers produced letters and secret government documents he claimed he’d been given in the ’30s by Hiss, then a mid-level functionary in the State Department.) Here evidence from the Venona files is less compelling.

One decrypted cable refers to a State Department turncoat whose biographical details seem to match Hiss’.

The official’s code name was Ales. Obviously Ales = Alger, right? Not necessarily — it was unlike the Soviets to assign their agents code names that so closely echoed their real ones. We don’t have as much corroboration as in the Rosenbergs’ case, and some still believe Hiss was innocent. But the weight of evidence suggests he wasn’t.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

COREY FELLER

Going for the Green

S IMAGE Jordan Silverman

NAME JOB LOCATION

hakespeare did not have Tom Good in mind, of course, when he wrote, “What’s in a name?” But the Bard probably would have enjoyed the contrasting monikers of the Montpelier resident and his fictitious alter-ego: Rob Moore.

Tall and bearded, Good is a 41-year-old, single, self-employed architect who specializes in environmentally responsible projects. The identical-looking Rob Moore heads the Vermont chapter of Billionaires for Bush, a protest group that uses satirical street theater to skewer greedy, right-wing capitalists. Although “B4B” has some adherents in France, Germany, Australia and South Korea, it is primarily a homegrown phenomenon with about 64 branches in 27 states. They strike out with an array of clever battle cries, such as “Hands Off Halliburton” and “Leave No Billionaire Behind.”

Members of this grassroots political action campaign, who dress to the nines for public demonstrations, tend to choose whimsical noms de guerre. In New York City, the B4B director of operations and chapter development is Iona Bigga Yacht. Others around the world go by pseudonyms such as Maya Countsoffshore, Anita Kickback, Phil Meewollet and Tom Good Mo Bludfer-Oyle.

Environmental Architect On a recent stuffy afternoon, Rob Moore is sportBillionaire for Bush ing a dark suit accessorized by a top hat and a cane, Montpelier with a fake cigar in his mouth and real $20 bills — rather than a monogrammed hankie — tucked in his breast pocket. Fully costumed, he stands beside the environment-friendly apartment building under construction on Burlington’s waterfront that Tom Good has helped design. The two activists sharing one body have just returned from the Democratic National Convention, where about 175 members of B4B expressed their faux support for the current president. Moore/Good is counting the days till he and his fellow billionaires bring their ironic ire to the Republican gathering in New York City.

SEVEN DAYS: This is like interviewing someone with multiple personality disorder. Speaking to Tom now, how did you hook up with Billionaires for Bush?

Tom Good: I heard about them in February from an acquaintance who’s with the New Hampshire chapter. They had infiltrated a Republican fundraising event.

I found about 15 like-minded people here and we met with the national organizer, Iona Bigga Yacht, when she came to Vermont in March. Our first action was on Tax Day in April.

and farmers — with a rope. Our signs were make-believe tax refund checks with many zeroes.

SD: What did you do?

TG: We spent about 45 minutes marching around Montpelier, praising Bush for doing such a great job with the economy and thanking the working class for paying our taxes. Six of us were outfitted as wealthy people, in tuxedos or evening gowns and furs. We were towing a few others — dressed as waitresses, mechanics

SD: That sounds like Rob Moore speaking. How many Vermont billionaires went to Boston last week?

TG: Just me. The action was on a Tuesday, so most people here couldn’t get away.

SD: What was the reaction?

TG: Mostly positive. People laughed. It usually takes a few minutes to understand we’re doing satire. When Fahrenheit 9/11 opened at the Savoy in June, we walked along the ticket line trying to dissuade them from seeing the movie. We tell peaceniks that war is good for the economy. We said, “Corporate media is getting a bad rap.” After all, we own the media.

SD: Were you penned inside the socalled Free Speech Zone?

TG: No. First we marched from Rowe’s Wharf to the Republican National Committee headquarters for a half-hour rally. We had an escort of 20 policemen on bicycles. We had been chanting, “Whose oil? Our oil! Whose president?

Our president!” But as we passed by North Station, there were MPs with Humvees and AK-47s. So we switched to, “Whose Humvees? Our Humvees! Whose AK-47s? Our AK-47s! Privatize the military!”

There’s also an on-site storm-water treatment system. My role is as an architectural-specifications consultant with Gossens Bachman Architects in Montpelier …

This is my Tom Good persona talking.

The [genuine] billionaires live up the street in those condos.

SD: Did you run into any proverbial Proper Bostonians?

TG: One woman said to me, “Oh, you’re a Bush supporter. I’m a die-hard Republican.” I asked, “How big was your tax cut last year?” … It started to dawn on her that this wasn’t for real, and she walked away. That’s our purpose: to make people think.

SD: Not a rich man’s lair, I guess.

What are your plans for New York?

TG: About eight of us from Vermont will probably go down for the Sunday, August 29, protest. We’re rehearsing some street performances. Maybe we’ll auction off ordinary Vermonters — domestic help, gardeners, chauffeurs, pool boys. Our theme is, “Why work at Wal-Mart when you can be a slave for a billionaire?”

SD: What’s B4B doing next?

TG: Some people took a limo from Boston to join the Million Billionaire March, which starts in the Midwestern swing states and comes back East in time for the Republican convention in late August.

SD: You didn’t want to go along?

TG: I couldn’t. It’s a five-week commitment.

SD: You’ve got job responsibilities, unlike a true billionaire. What’s your life story?

TG: I’m from Ashtabula, Ohio. I moved here in 1988, after graduating from the University of Cincinnati, and worked for Black River Design in Montpelier. I got my license in 1993 and became a consultant in 1997. I work on “green” buildings.

SD: What makes the Waterfront project green?

TG: It’s energy-efficient, water-saving, built from durable materials and close to transportation, which makes the Waterfront an affordable place to live.

SD: What’s your own home like?

TG: I rent a solar-heated structure that’s super-insulated and stays warm with only a wood stove.

SD: I wonder if you’ll bump into Bread and Puppet. They’ve been spoofing capitalist fat cats for decades.

TG: Their tycoons are malevolent. Ours are benevolent: “Let us take over the country and it’ll all be OK.” Actually, I found out that Bread and Puppet is not going to the Republican convention.

SD: What do you anticipate there?

TG: We’re anticipating the worst: They could call out the National Guard, declare martial law, arrest thousands for no reason, and lock down the city. Maybe the billionaires will get a cushier jail cell, though.

SD: That’s a rather chilling scenario.

Assuming you make bail, what does the future hold for this Tom Good/ Rob Moore incarnation?

TG: Hopefully, my split personality will end November 2. m For more information about Billionaires for Bush, email RobMooreB4B@aol.com.

And in the last six weeks we’ve seen a whole lot more of Gov. Jim Douglas on the streets of Burington than the Burlington mayor he’s running against.

GOP’s Short Bench— The Vermont Republican Party came up short filling the six-seat ticket for Chittenden County State Senate.

With the dust settled, it looks like the GOP has only been able to fill four seats, including, of course, their sure thing: State Sen. Diane Snelling of Hinesburg.

Joining Princess Di on the Republican ballot are Kate Purcell of South Burlington, Michael Quaid of Williston and former State Sen. Dennis Delaney of Charlotte.

Over on the Democrat side, it turns out former State Rep. Sally Fox changed her mind at the last minute. The Essex Fox had put out a press release in late June announcing her intended State Senate bid.

But she mysteriously failed to file nominating petitions by the deadline.

Fox could not be reached for comment.

Her absence leaves her party with a full slate of six candidates and no need for a primary battle. Currently, Democrats hold five of six Chittenden County seats in the State Senate.

The comeback campaign of Delaney, a cancer survivor, is a wild card. Dennis looks to be the only R who could upset the apple cart.

Statewide, the Republican Party of Vermont is looking like it’s hanging by a thread. Fortunately, the thread is called Gov. Jim Douglas and Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, and it’s a stronger thread than some would like to think.

The GOP was unable to field candidates for state treasurer or secretary of state. Outside of Gov. Scissorhands and Doobie-DoobieDoo, the only Republican statewide candidate with an outside shot is Randy Brock. Brock is challenging Chainsaw Liz Ready for state auditor, but so far he appears to be interested only in slinging very old mud at Queen Elizabeth.

The Favorites! — As for GOP incumbents Douglas and Dubie, both have to be considered favorites for reelection despite Vermont’s leftwing liberal image.

That’s because both work hard at projecting moderate, middle-of-theroad images. Seasoned insiders we’ve chatted up in the last few days are united in their belief, regardless of their political affiliation, that Douglas and Dubie will win a second term.

The expectation is that our governor will win reelection with about 53 percent of the vote. It’s the middle that will decide.

By the way, expect a “Democrats for Douglas” media event shortly.

The usual business types and utility execs. Looks like Scissorhands is holding on to what we used to call the “Howard Dean Democrats.”

In the Lite-Gov race, the expectation is that the publicly funded campaign of Progressive Steve Hingtgen will be able to do enough damage to whichever Democrat wins the September primary — Jan Backus or Cheryl Rivers — to ensure Dubie’s second ride into vic-

tory lane.

At least, that’s what several respected insiders are convinced of.

Yours truly isn’t ready to sign on just yet.

What fun would that be? Ice hockey training camps haven’t even opened yet. The leaves haven’t begun to turn.

Give me a break!

Political Spellcheck — English majors, sit up. Certainly you’ve heard of the “Vowel Theory of Vermont politics.” Or rather “The Curse of the Hanging Vowel?”

Unlike Gov. Douglas, Peter Clavelle’s name obviously ends in a vowel. Did you realize that Vermont has not elected a governor whose named ended in a vowel since Carroll S. Page was elected in 1892?

Been a while, eh?

However, sauce for the goose can be sauce for the gander.

Take Republican Brian Dubie, our favorite American Airlines pilot.

If a last name ending in a vowel is truly a political curse, Doobie-Doo will never succeed Douglas as governor.

Brian is the fifth Lite-Gov in the last century with a vowel on the end of his name. His predecessor, Democrat Doug Racine, shares in and actually proves the validity of the Vowel Theory.

When Racine finally ran for governor in 2002, he ran smack up against the the Curse. We all know what happened, eh?

We’re not saying it cannot be done, but any Ph.D. will tell you that if Burlington’s Mayor Clavelle wants to be Vermont’s Gov. Clavelle, he going to have to break the Curse of the Hanging Vowel.

Or else, he’s going to have to buy a consonant.

Gov. Peter Claveller?

Or, even better, buy three consonants: Gov. Peter Roclaveller?

A lot of Republicans aren’t that bright, you know.

The Opposition — There are early signs that Democrat Peter Clavelle’s gubernatorial opposition may also include a TV station.

Coverage of Candidate Moonie’s recent press conference was eyeopening.

Clavelle’s point that day was that Jim Douglas has failed to lead on health care and is in bed with President George W. Bush as Bush’s “cheerleader-in-chief ” in the Green Mountains (though Douglas only utters the President’s name behind closed doors these days.).

And though he mentioned Bush by name more than 20 times in his opening statement and during the question period, the name of “George W. Bush” never made WGOP, er, sorry, WCAX’s report that evening.

By contrast, the Rutland Herald even ran a second-day story focusing exclusively on Clavelle’s George W. Bush strategy.

In fact, most of the Ch. 3 report was Douglas administration Secretary Mike Smith’s rebuttal of Clavelle’s attack. WCAX political reporter Anson Tebbetts identified Mr. Smith as a “spokesman for the the Douglas campaign and the administration.”

Really?

Quick, what’s that FBI phone number?

If it were true that Smith is double-dipping as administration secretary and Douglas campaign spokes-

Final Note â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The big news story in Burlington this week is a nasty one: a 25-year-old womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body found in the woods of Ripton. Police say she was murdered in Burlington and dumped there. They say it was a coke deal gone bad.

Besides the homicide, one suspect has committed suicide. Welcome to modern Vermont.

Police Chief Tom Tremblay called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;another example of the dangers of drug use and involvement in the drug culture.â&#x20AC;?

But the â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug cultureâ&#x20AC;? is but a creation of an illogical, flawed and corrupt drug policy that creates the â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug cultureâ&#x20AC;? of violence and death.

More people died in Vermont last year from overdoses than car accidents. Heroin and cocaine are cheaper and come in more potent doses than ever.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the first Vermont political leader to stand up and say the obvious â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that the way to eradicate the current dangerous and harmful â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug cultureâ&#x20AC;? is to eradicate the insane â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug policyâ&#x20AC;? that created the mess in the first place? m

man, Smith is in deep doo-doo.

Mr. Mike, you see, is on the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; payroll, not that of the Douglas campaign. Perhaps Ch. 3 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the difference?

Secretary Smith corrected the record this week, telling Seven Days, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I speak on funding issues for the administration. I am not a spokesman for the campaign.â&#x20AC;?

Hope someone tells WCAX News.

In addition, Ch. 3 resisted identifying Clavelle on-screen as a Democrat. This despite the fact that he sought and won the Democratic Party nomination for Burlington mayor in December 2002. He also was listed on the ballot as a Prog.

Upon winning, WCAX kept identifying him as only a â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.â&#x20AC;?

Clavelle complained, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told by City Hall sources, to News Director Marselis Parsons. Marsillyiss, sources say, insisted that Clavelle show more proof of his Democratic Party affiliation, such as contributions and support for Democrat causes and candidates.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until six months later, in October, that Ch. 3 began letting viewers know that the Democratic Mayor of Burlington was in fact a Democrat. They began identifying Clavelle on-screen as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;P/D.â&#x20AC;?

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d almost think he was bisexual or something.

However, when the TV news story is about Clavelle the Democratic Party candidate for governor of Vermont, Ch. 3 only uses the â&#x20AC;&#x153;D.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, one of the key strategies of the Douglas campaign is to ignore Clavelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic Credentials and forever label him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Progressive Pete.â&#x20AC;?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest that Clavelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest act of Democratic affiliation occurred back in June 2002, when he loudly and publicly endorsed Democrat Doug Racine for governor.

At the time, the Progressive Mayor was sending a clear signal to Progressive Anthony Pollina that another gubernatorial run by Tony the Prog was not a good idea.

It certainly appeared Tony got the message and stayed out of the race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for all the good it did Racine, eh?

Damn vowels.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

From Russia With Love

N IMAGE Jeb WallaceBrodeur

orthfield Falls, 5000 miles and 550 years removed from the historic center of the Byzantine Empire, isn’t the most likely place in the world to find a painter of Eastern Orthodox iconography.

But this is where Dmitri Andreyev stands atop a scaffold inside the Church of St. Jacob of Alaska, grinding minerals with a mortar and pestle; mixing these pigments with egg yolk, vinegar and water; and then brushing the resultant tempera onto primed walls to create images of the resurrected Christ and the Pentecostal descent of the Holy Spirit.

In what some might see as a stroke of heavenly intervention, Andreyev happened upon the commission to adorn the interior of St. Jacob just a few months after arriving in central Vermont from Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Named for a missionary to thenRussian-controlled Alaska, St. Jacob ranks as Vermont’s only affiliate of the Orthodox Church in America.

The 35-member congregation of St. Jacob moved about a year ago from temporary quarters in Montpelier to the former Methodist Church it had purchased in Northfield Falls.

Andreyev and his family had, meanwhile, left their crowded apartment in New York and rented a

home in South Woodbury, because his American-born wife had long been intrigued by Vermont. Rachel Andreyev, who converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity prior to marrying Dmitri 12 years ago, also paints in the iconographic style and helps home-school the couple’s children.

Their three girls and one boy range in age from 10 years to 10 days.

“Vermont feels right to me,” says Andreyev, a long-bearded 40-year-old who speaks fluent English with a recognizably Russian accent. The couple is looking for a home to purchase in central Vermont, but he doesn’t rule out the possibility of one day returning to Russia. “There’s probably enough work for me there these days,” he says.

Orthodox Christianity and its associated iconography have been undergoing a revival in Russia since the collapse of the communist system almost 15 years ago. This upwelling within the former Soviet Union coincides with a broader, century-long resurgence of interest in classical icon-painting, or “icon-writing” — the term its practitioners prefer.

“Many people in Russia are returning to this type of expression because they see it as a true, pure expression,” Andreyev explains. He himself composes in the static, schematized style of Russian-

Byzantine iconography, which reached its artistic height in the 15th century.

Icon-writers take pride in the aesthetics of their heritage. They believe that flat, stiff-figured iconographic compositions can affect viewers just as powerfully as can Western-style perspective paintings, which trace their origins to Renaissance Italy.

“What some may see as unnaturalistic, childish even, may have a profound spiritual meaning,” Andreyev declares.

“When I was studying in art school, Renaissance art was very useful to me,” he adds. “I appreciate the work of the Italian masters, but I don’t see a place for it in an Orthodox church.”

That’s because traditional iconographers regard their methodology as expressive of a worldview centered on worship of Christ. The Western manner of painting, with its characteristic imitation of nature, likewise reflects an entire — and opposing — worldview, whether its inheritors are conscious of it or not, Andreyev argues.

“The use of perspective is an expression of a certain philosophy,” he says.

According to the church’s newsletter, Andreyev spoke to St. Jacob’s parishioners earlier this year of an “infection” that entered the Western Christian tradition in the form of

Renaissance humanism, which regarded mankind as the focus of life, rather than God.

In addition to its formalist differences from Western art, iconography, by definition, eschews secular subject matter. Its one-dimensional images of Christ, his mother and other scriptural figures are also meant to be instructional. This is an art that treats color and form primarily as teaching tools rather than as elements manipulated to trigger an aesthetic response.

And not only is the work itself devotional, so is the act of creating it.

“We believe in what we paint,” Andreyev says.

“An icon is a symbol,” he adds.

“When it loses its clear symbolic qualities, it becomes more like portraiture.” In other words, this type of art cannot be created independently of its religious essence or its traditional form.

This transcendent aspect is described in a pamphlet for the New York-based Prosopon School of Iconology, which was founded by Andreyev’s father: “Despite the striving for a high artistic level, the focus of the icon-writer is nevertheless on personal spiritual discipline and growth within the guidelines of

Orthodox Church teachings.”

Vladislav Andrejev has had an enormous, if indirect, influence on Dmitri (who spells his last name differently). Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1938, Andrejev was baptized in the Orthodox faith but did not practice it for very long. His father’s artistic temperament led him along a bohemian path, and religious worship was, in any event, firmly discouraged in a society based on Marxist principles. In his twenties, however, Andrejev experienced a spiritual reawakening. He wandered the wilds of southern Russia and sought inspiration from a monk icon-writer at a mountaintop monastery. Andrejev thereafter “felt a need to go deeper into religious art,” his son recounts, “but he couldn’t support his family by doing that.”

1989, was baptized into the faith of his father soon after, and later became a teacher of iconography.

Circumstances have now led him to Northfield Falls, where his two murals are about halfcompleted. Andreyev is aiming to finish this initial phase of the St. Jacob iconography project in September prior to traveling with his family to Minnesota, where he and his father will spend two months writing icons in the cupola of a Byzantinestyle church.

The painting on the left front wall of St. Jacob’s depicts Christ’s descent into Hell following his crucifixion and prior to his resurrection. In this apocryphal scene not recounted in scripture, Christ clasps the hands of Adam and Eve while the Old Testament Kings David

I appreciate the work of the Italian masters, but I don’t see a place for it in an Orthodox church.

DMITRI ANDREYEV

Andrejev emigrated to the United States in 1980. He became a teacher as well as a practitioner of RussianByzantine iconography, working in New York for seven years at the School of Sacred Arts. That institution attracts devotees of many different faiths — including Tibetan Buddhists, for example — who share an aspiration to learn traditional methods of religiously inspired painting.

Back in St. Petersburg, where he lived with his mother — also an art teacher — Dmitri Andreyev came across a New York Times article describing his father’s work at the School of Sacred Arts. “At that time [the mid-’80s], I was kind of desperate about what kind of art I should be doing,” recalls Andreyev, who had been studying painting within the context of a society in which religious believers were still ostracized.

Even though he was not a member of the Orthodox Church, Andreyev recalls being interested in iconography “because it was something that was satisfying an inner calling I had. I just didn’t know what to do about it.”

The Times story about his father’s achievements in New York proved decisive in shaping Andreyev’s own life. He emigrated to the United States in

and Solomon look on. Three concentric circles surround the central figure. The inner, black circle is meant to represent “the incomprehensible essence of Christ,” Andreyev explains, while the yellow and red outer circles signify “the light, the glory of Christ.”

On the right front wall, the artist has depicted the apostles gathered to receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit in the form of tongues of fire — which Andreyev has not yet painted.

The grand scheme for the church calls for Andreyev to create two more murals: one above the altar showing Christ enthroned on Judgment Day, and a Madonna and Child composition on a protruding wall of the apse.

In the scenes becoming visible on the church’s walls and in Andreyev’s sketches for the rest of the project, all the figures — save Satan — wear serene expressions befitting those who have found peace and salvation.

“An icon,” Andreyev notes, “is supposed to proclaim reality not as it is, but as it should be.” 쩾 Services are held at St. Jacob of Alaska Church on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 9:10 a.m.

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision about the way judges hand down sentences has created turmoil in federal courts across the country, including in Vermont. David Kirby, acting U.S. attorney in Burlington, confirms that federal jury trials, sentences and pleas have all been put on hold for about a month following the High Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling in Blakely v. Washington, which found that sentencing guidelines used in Washington State were not constitutional.

While the ruling didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss out federal sentencing guidelines, it has raised more questions than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answered.

In Blakely, the Supreme Court ruled that the prison sentence a judge sets must be based only on those facts that were proven to the jury. For example, in a drug-conviction case, a judge cannot increase the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentence based on the quantity of drugs sold or the use of weapons in the commission of the crime, unless that evidence was presented to the jury and proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

America, which showed that fewer than half of all Americans read any form of literature. The report shows declines in all age groups, with the steepest decline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 28 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; occurring in the youngest demographics. The study also documented an overall drop of 10 percentage points in literary readers from 1982 to 2002, representing a loss of 20 million potential readers. The rate of decline is increasing and, according to the NEA survey, has nearly tripled in the last decade.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly an unexpected finding, especially in a nation where repetitive-stress injuries are also on the rise, due in large part to excessive video-game playing. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that Americans are reading less fiction, that downturn doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be reflected in local buying habits for nonfiction, particularly real-life human drama.

Consider, for example, the overwhelming interest among Vermonters in The 9/11 Commission Report, which has become one of the fastest best-

the 9/11 Commission report may provide a clue. According to websites for Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com, people who purchased The 9/11 Commission Report also bought My Life by Bill Clinton, Against All Enemies

by Richard Clarke, Worse Than Watergate by John Dean, and Dude, Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Country? by Michael Moore. All of these reads are either critical of the Bush administration or decidedly left in their leanings.

Of course, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one major difference between the popularity of The 9/11 Commission Report and other best-sellers: No one is hoping to see a sequel.

A quick viewer note for doit-yourself Vermonters. This week, Vermont Public Television airs a documentary by Elizabeth Westrate entitled A Family Undertaking, which explores a growing trend in America: home funerals. More and more often, Americans are choosing to bury their loved ones themselves in order to better cope with their grief and save money on funer-

People who purchased The 9/11 Commission Report also bought My Life

by Bill Clinton, Against All Enemies by Richard Clarke, Worse Than Watergate

by John Dean, and Dude, Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Country? by Michael Moore.

The Blakely ruling affects about two-thirds of the current federal caseload in Vermont, Kirby estimates, and could also have ramifications for past convictions. In recent weeks, each federal circuit around the country has been interpreting the ruling differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The legal wisdom probably is that the Blakely decision will not affect those [past] cases, but we could be wrong,â&#x20AC;? Kirby says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just general confusion.â&#x20AC;?

But Kirby doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem overly concerned about the ruling, either. While he admits that this decision has affected the way federal prosecutors build their cases, he notes that summer is usually a quieter time for the courts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as soon as the Supreme Court really lays out what the new rules are, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be quite comfortable again.â&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real shocker: Americans are reading less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or so says the National Endowment for the Arts. Last month, the NEA released the results of its national survey, Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in

sellers ever for Burlington bookstores. Borders Books & Music on Church Street reports that it sold out all its copies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than 60 books â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in less than two days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anything like it,â&#x20AC;? says General Manager Pat Pearsall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is scrambling to get their hands on it.â&#x20AC;? According to Pearsall, the 9/11 report has been the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest-selling nonfiction book in the last 32 years.

The 9/11 Commission Report has also been a perfect storm for its publisher, W.W. Norton & Company, one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest employee-owned publishing houses. W.W. Norton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay any royalties to its author, or to advertise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the front-page media coverage of the 9/11 Commission took care of that. Already, the publisher has distributed all 600,000 copies to wholesalers and retailers and has begun a second printing of 200,000 more copies. Reportedly, sales in Vermont have been even more vigorous than in other areas of New England.

Why? A peek at the purchasing habits of online buyers of

als, which now average more than $7000. Far from a radical innovation, home burials are a return to the traditional American funeral rites that were practiced for centuries until about the time of the Civil War. A Family Undertaking features an interview with Lisa Carlson of Hinesburg, the selfdescribed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ralph Nader of the funeral industryâ&#x20AC;? and author of two home-burial guides: Caring for the Dead: Your Final Act of Love and I Died Laughing: Funeral Education with a Light Touch. For years, Carlson ran the South Burlington-based Funeral Consumers Alliance, a watchdog group for the death industry. She makes a compelling argument for families to rescue burial rituals from the impersonality and expense of the mass-market funeral industry.

One caveat: The PBS documentary airs on VPT August 4 and 11 at 3 a.m. So set your VCRsâ&#x20AC;Ś unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to be up in the dead of night. 슞

T STORY

KRISTEN EATON All My Sons, written by Arthur Miller, produced by the Stowe Theatre Guild, Town Hall Theatre, Stowe. August 4-7, 8 p.m.

Family Values his election season we’ll hear a lot about the American dream, unity, family and patriotism. On the political stage, a candidate seeks to embody these and other traditionally American values without contradiction. But on a theatrical stage, contradictions are what compel an audience.

What if you had to choose between your family and your country? What if a man who manufactured airplane parts found out they were faulty — and sold them to the military anyway? What if he did this to support his family? What if, as a result, 21 airplanes crashed, killing the pilots?

Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, currently being produced by the Stowe Theatre Guild, asks these questions.

Miller is best known for his iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Death of a Salesman. Another major work, The Crucible, was adapted for the screen and starred Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. Set during the witch-hunts of 17th-century Salem, it may be the most exotic of Miller’s works; Death of a Salesman and All My Sons both take place in post-World War II America. Typical of Miller’s plays, all three deal with extreme tragedies in the lives of ordinary, workingclass Americans. Miller’s ear for vernacular and familiar-seeming characters grounds his stories for a modern audience; he writes tragedies about the family down the street.

In All My Sons, Joe and Kate Keller and their adult son Chris are that family. We

meet them on their back porch in August 1947. Three years earlier, Chris’ older brother Larry had been reported MIA off the coast of China. But, thanks to Joe’s manufacturing plant, the family has prospered since the war.

When Chris invites Ann Deever home to propose to her, the family seems poised move on. But Ann was originally Larry’s sweetheart, and Kate still believes Larry is alive. The first night Ann stays at the Kellers’, a tree planted in Larry’s memory is struck by lightning. Kate takes this as an omen.

Then there’s the fact that Joe Keller and Ann’s father Steve were once convicted of selling faulty cylinder heads to the military. Joe was acquitted on appeal, but Steve remains in jail. Idealistic and honest, Chris believes in his father’s innocence, but Ann’s brother George shows up to tell a different story. Soon, even the audience doesn’t know who to believe.

Joe, played by Walt Levering with equal parts De Niro and Santa Claus, is patently likable. He plays with the neighborhood kids, handing out police badges from cereal boxes. But he lets them think he’s been a detective rather than a convict. Levering grasps both sides of this character: the flawed human side as well as the affable, silver-haired patriarch.

Morgan Irons portrays the determined matriarch Kate, who is deathly afraid of what the transpiring events will mean to her family. Far from milking the melodra-

ma, Irons finds plenty of opportunity for humor; she has mastered a wry delivery and a motherly frankness.

Mark Cranmer’s Chris may be the most captivating of the bunch. When he proposes to Ann, for example, Cranmer isn’t afraid to take his time, to have fun with the lines. After the couple’s first kiss, a mere peck, he chants, “I kissed Ann!” and does a little dance around the stage. That playfulness is a winning quality on stage.

Elisabeth Ruby Hobbs is picture-perfect as Ann Deever; blond, slim and meticulously dressed, she could have stepped out of the pages of Vogue magazine. Despite her character’s generally decorous demeanor, Hobbs introduces an eloquent physicality toward the end of the show, when she shies away from Larry’s last letter to her.

As George Deever, Brent Campbell has a small but pivotal role. Despite his relatively brief stage time, Campbell hits a variety of notes, from uptight and suspicious to boyish and gracious.

An array of neighbors rounds out the cast. Dr. Jim Bayliss, aptly played by Robert Brody, admires Chris despite his personal skepticism. Lydia Lubey,

The Kellers’ back porch and yard have been rendered in full detail. You can even look in the windows to see the kitchen, complete with rotary phone and a 1947 calendar. The porch is realistically raised a few feet above the yard, giving the actors two levels to work on. That the porch is set on a slight diagonal, rather than parallel with the edge of the stage, creates the potential for dynamic stage pictures.

An arbor placed on the edge of the stage to the audience’s left is a place for intimate conferences; poignantly, it’s also where Chris finally confronts his father. To the right, that brokendown memorial tree hovers in the audience’s peripheral vision and haunts the family throughout the play.

In a medium as visual as theater, it’s important for actors to be conscious of their position on, and movement across, the stage. This production’s only major fault is that actors often spend several minutes standing or sitting next to each other.

This is visually static, and boring. It’s more interesting when one person sits and another stands. Kate on the porch, standing over her son and husband, who sit on the lawn furni-

ture — especially when Kate is insisting that, despite all, they will not give Larry up for dead — begins to get compelling.

Had Cardner urged the cast to take full and imaginative advantage of the space, he would have upgraded this production from an impressive piece of community theater to an impressive piece of theater, period. However, the actors and director have obviously done their homework, and this show about the far-reaching consequences of war is timely. 쩾

SEVEN DAYS

A MORE PERFECT UNION? Montpelier’s downtown workers are fighting for their rights — to organize story: cathy resmer

Last month, Dustin Byerly’s boss tried to reduce his pay and scale back his hours.

The 26-year-old Montpelier resident and father of two couldn’t afford the sudden pay cut — his girlfriend is pregnant with their third child. And he didn’t want to quit his job; finding another one could take a month or more. So Byerly called his union. Under his new contract, his boss was required to discuss her actions with union representatives, or stewards.

After two days of five-hour meetings, they reached a deal. Byerly kept his job.

In a phone interview during a recent Saturday-morning shift, he talks about the process. “I don’t know where I would have been if the union hadn’t been there with me,” he says.

This is a familiar story in the American workplace, but here’s the twist: Byerly’s not a factory worker, or a Teamster, or an electrician. He’s a cook at Mountain Café, a small, all-organic eatery on Langdon Street in downtown Montpelier. All 10 café employees are members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, or

U.E. Their local, number 221, is Montpelier’s Downtown Workers Union.

U.E. organizers, who say Byerly’s story is all too common, are trying something new in Vermont’s capital city. Rather than organize each occupation separately — retail clerks in one union, cooks in another — the U.E. is grouping various servicesector employees together into one collective body.

Organizers use words like “radical” and “revolutionary” to describe this approach, which at the very least is innovative.

Though small-business service-sector jobs are among the fastest-growing segments of the economy, they are rarely under union contract. Exceptions in Vermont include positions at Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier and Burlington’s City Market, both of which have U.E. contracts.

Union boosters say they’re now reaching a group of workers, like Byerly, who are desperately in need of protection from unfair labor practices of small businesses, even ones as crunchy as an organic café.

But the union drive hasn’t been as successful as organizers had hoped. Last fall they announced plans to sign contracts at five local shops, but so far they’ve only

It’s time that the community recognizes how important the workers are.

UNION STEWARD KRISTIN WARNER

signed two, at Mountain Café and at indie moviehouse The Savoy. They’ve run into an unexpected backlash.

Though the union has been a shot in the arm for organizers and beleaguered workers, others say it’s a shot of poison for the fragile downtown economy. Business owners — and some of their employees — wonder why the union has picked a fight with them rather than with large corporations such as Wal-Mart. Even some who call themselves pro-union wonder, do workers in Montpelier’s small businesses really need a union?

Dustin Byerly, who calls the union “a blessing,” is glad he belongs to one.

Though he likes his boss, he says having two union stewards mediate a meeting between them helped to diffuse the tension.

In the end, Byerly agreed to a smaller pay cut and a reduction in hours. Both he and owner Sondra “Chu” Sipka say they were happy with the compromise. “I just wanted to feel like I had a voice,” says Byerly.

Sipka also found it helpful to have union stewards involved. She had tried to cut Byerly’s pay, not to screw him over, but because she thought she could no longer afford to pay him. “There’s a perspective that I may not be seeing, and [the employee] may not be seeing,” she says, “but

there’s this third party that sees a solution we may not have come to.”

Not surprisingly, Sipka is no big-shot CEO — the first-time restaurateur is only 22. She bought the café seven months ago after working there for eight months.

When a majority of Sipka’s employees approached her and asked her to recognize the union, she said yes. Legally, she couldn’t exactly refuse. Thanks to the country’s labor movement decades ago, the right for workers to organize is protected by law.

But Sipka could have put them off. She could have called for an official election mediated by the National Labor Relations Board to determine the union’s support.

Or she could have bargained for an election held by a neutral third party. But drawing out the procedure would have been expensive and time-consuming.

Besides, Sipka supports the union.

The Mountain Café contract — like the one workers are bringing to businesses all over town — provides a one-time 50cent-per-hour raise and gives workers protections from unjust discipline and firing.

“I signed it because I want my employees to feel that, no matter what they believe or want, I’m not going to discriminate against them,” says Sipka. Were she still a worker herself, she adds, she

MEMBERS OF THE MONTPELIER DOWNTOWN WORKERS’ UNION

would probably join a union, too.

But Sipka also admits that some things about this arrangement make her uneasy. For example, though she’s glad the union was there to help Byerly get what he needed, she says she could have used some support, too. “I’ve got no one on my side to protect me,” she says. She’s also unsure how easy it will be to hire new help, now that incoming staff will be forced to join the union.

Sipka has had at least one negative interaction with union supporters. She ran into a group of them at a concert recently and describes them as “charged.” “They kept saying, ‘The bosses are the enemy,’” she recalls.

They didn’t know she was a boss.

When she mentioned that she owns a business, they called her the enemy.

“They were joking,” she says cautiously, “but that kinda scared me at first.”

Such a confrontational stance is endemic to the labor movement — a remnant of bitter, often deadly, clashes with mining companies and auto barons.

Those battles eventually resulted in popular legislation standardizing 40hour work weeks and overtime pay, and outlawing child labor. Somehow it doesn’t seem wise to alienate Montpelier’s potentially pro-union small-business owners by attacking them en masse. Nevertheless, this confrontational attitude is proudly on display at the Vermont Worker’s Center, a nonprofit employee-support organization that serves as a kind of home base for the downtown union.

Pro-union posters decorate the walls of the Center’s Court Street office. In one, a smiley-faced stick man dressed in a suit kicks a worker in the ass under the slogan, “To

management, all workers are temporary.” In another, a group of workers standing atop a block labeled “fair wages” supports a town above their heads. A smiley-faced boss prepares to bulldoze the lot of them. The caption reads: “Union busters = Community Wreckers. It’s that simple.”

To an outsider, it’s difficult to apply this logic to a town of 8000, where more often than not employers work side-by-side with their employees, and at least as hard.

The negative rhetoric deeply offends Sandra Nall, who might otherwise have been a natural ally. Nall is the development director of a civil-liberties organization, and for the past six years has worked parttime as a retail clerk in a downtown store. “We see them bury their children, care for their sick parents,” she says of small-business owners. “This is not Wal-Mart. These are people you run into every day.”

Nall considers herself pro-union — her mother belonged to one for years — but she accuses Montpelier’s union supporters of being “arrogant,” and using “cloak and dagger” tactics; she calls them “bellicose union cowboys.”

Nall claims that pro-union people have tried to intimidate local businesses by barging in and being rude to owners. Some of her complaints stem from the union’s highly publicized conflict with J. Morgan’s steakhouse. Workers there announced their intention to unionize last fall, insisting that they were disciplined unfairly, made to pay for their own uniforms, and were required to cover meals when customers left without paying. They say the Bashara family, who owns the restaurant, opposed their efforts, reducing the hours of pro-union workers and switching them to less profitable shifts.

When talks with the owners broke down, workers and their supporters took to the streets and pick-

eted the State Street steakhouse. One rally drew 150 people during a December snowstorm. They also held Friday night coffee-ins, where supporters flooded the restaurant and ordered only coffee.

The National Labor Relations Board found enough evidence of union-busting tactics to prepare a lawsuit against the Basharas, but the two parties settled out of court. The family agreed to pay some damages to workers, and will now display a sign that says they will not stand in the way should employees wish to unionize.

This might seem like an unequivocal victory for the union, but the whole affair was a public-relations disaster. It was the first time many downtown business owners had heard about the union, and it scared them off. Even some workers joined the backlash. During the conflict, employees at the Coffee Corner diner on Main Street posted an antiunion sign in the window.

Business owners such as Lowell Smith, who owns Capital Video, are now solidly anti-union. “It would make me afraid of getting rid of anybody,” he says. Not that he lets many people go; Smith reports few problems with employees in the 20 years since he opened the store. He runs his business “like a family,” and hopes his employees would talk to him directly if they had a problem.

“Any one of them could come to me for anything,” he insists. “I would do anything for them.”

Still, Smith says, “I would want the right to be able to get rid of an employee without some strike team picketing outside my business.

Employees don’t like working under the threat of intimidation. Well, employers don’t like it, either.”

Sandra Nall agrees. “They’re driving a wedge into this community,” she says angrily.

Ask union organizers if they’re dividing the community and they’ll say the divide was already there, and that people like Lowell Smith and Sandra Nall just didn’t see it.

In arguing against the downtown union, both Smith and Nall imply not only that the union will hurt business owners, but also that lowwage service-sector jobs aren’t really worth the union’s effort. “It’s not rocket science to be a downtown retail clerk,” says Nall. “Most people know, you get a retail job, it’s a stepping stone.”

Sean Damon, a 26-year-old union steward, disagrees. Damon, who moved to Montpelier in August 2003 from Philadelphia, dropped out of high school and got his G.E.D. He works at Brooks Pharmacy, and speaks via cell phone after his shift. He looks young — in a newsletter photo, he’s wearing a backwards baseball cap — but he’s been in retail for 11 years.

“I work with people who have been at Brooks for an average of five years,” Damon says. “A lot of folks are, like, that’s their only job. For some people’s kids it’s a stepping stone to something bigger, but for a lot of the population, this is what we do. I can tell you, I’m not hoping to make a career out of running a register, but this is what I’m doing now, and what I’ve been doing through my teenage years and my adult life.”

The same is true of 22-year-old Kristin Warner, the Montpelier union’s chief steward, who works as a server at Mountain Café with Dustin Byerly. Sitting on the stone steps of a downtown church after work, she says the middle and the upper-middle classes are out of touch. “These people don’t have to make $6.75 an hour at a job where you’re on your

feet all day, and you’re just hoping you get good tips because you really need that extra $30,” she says.

“They’re just generally disconnected to the lower class.”

A Montpelier native, Warner is a thin, seemingly laid-back woman who wears two gold nose rings and ends nearly every sentence with a questioning tone. But she speaks with a passion and intensity that springs from experience: She took her first Montpelier service job in 1997 at the age of 16, and made only $3.90 an hour. By the time she was 17, she was on her own, supporting herself while trying to finish high school. “I grew up really poor,” she says, “and you just didn’t have any choice but to work.”

Warner says she has been fired twice, unfairly, because her employers wouldn’t let her change her schedule to accommodate her educational responsibilities, like taking time off for final exams. “A lot of times, when you’re young, you just take it,” she says. “You aren’t prepared to demand back pay.”

Warner admits that liberal Montpelier isn’t the worst place in the world to work, but she insists there’s room for improvement, particularly when small-business owners are ignorant of employment laws and don’t understand their workers’ rights.

“Sure, this community is ahead of others,” Warner concedes, “but there are huge issues here. It’s really naive to think there aren’t problems.”

She points to the situation with Byerly, which she helped resolve. She praises Sipka as “fantastic,” but says the restaurateur just didn’t know that cutting Byerly’s hours and pay on short notice was a violation of his rights. She lists other grievances the union is trying to resolve. Most of them involve back-pay demands, firing or alleged union-busting tactics, such as reducing the hours of pro>> 27A

union employees in hopes that they’ll quit.

Warner says the vast majority of these issues — 90 percent or more — are resolved in meetings with the boss, the employer and a steward, which is in everyone’s best interest. Employees, she stresses, are the last people who want to see a business fail. They’re often willing to work out a compromise, but they want to have a say. She also points out that unions don’t cause problems. “If you’re running a good shop, and you’re following the rules, then there’s not going to be any issue.”

If employees can’t negotiate a solution, however, the union will use public pressure. They’ll call in their newly formed Worker Defense Squad, a group composed of union and community members. The Defense Squad might enter a workplace during busy times to confront the employer, or write angry letters to the editor at local papers. “It’s basically a means of shaking the boss up a little,” says

the diamonds of

Lawson. It’s a claim she vehemently denies — after all, the union is basically just a collection of workers who are already on the job. Still, Lawson fits the bill. She doesn’t even live in Vermont — she commutes from upstate New York via the ferry. And she dismisses the argument that Montpelier’s workers should simply trust their bosses to be fair. No matter how sincere and well-meaning business owners are, she says, workers will always be at a disadvantage.

“When people know that you have the power to fire them, or change their jobs,” she says, “that’s not an equal relationship.”

Lawson also dismisses the idea that people who are truly pro-union oppose this drive. She calls them union-busters. “When they say that, for me, it’s really code that they don’t want workers to organize,” she asserts. “When it hits home, it becomes a little uncomfortable.”

Union steward Kristin Warner is glad to have Lawson on her side, and doesn’t mind if her presence makes some people squirm.

describe it as a downtown business association for workers.

This new tack has received a more positive response in the community. Linda Leehan, a manager at Bear Pond Books, is receptive.

She calls the early organizing effort “challenging,” but believes the union is figuring out how best to meet the needs of Montpelier’s workers. “They’ve been listening; they’re working creatively with who we are to speak to our community... This new direction is less powerful, but it’s a really neat first step, it seems to me.”

Montpelier Mayor Mary Hooper agrees. She chooses her words carefully when describing the union’s controversial past, suggesting its adversarial stance may not have helped the cause. “It created an atmosphere where it was hard for employers to really hear what they were saying,” she says.

But Hooper likes what she’s hearing now. “I’m very impressed with what they’re doing.”

Warner, though she emphasizes it’s a last resort. “There’s definitely a lot of communication that goes on before we call the Defense Squad.”

Warner and her union comrades are unapologetic about their adversarial tactics. James Haslam, director of the Vermont Worker’s Center, says conflict is sometimes necessary.

“Justice doesn’t come easy. Progress doesn’t come easy,” says the softspoken twentysomething activist.

Haslam is no longer involved in the union, but he’s one of its creators. He and Tenaya Lafore, a former Worker’s Center employee, worked with U.E. organizer Kim Lawson to get the union off the ground.

Describing resistance to the union, Haslam sounds resigned.

“When people seek basic, common things, it becomes a conflict,” he says. “It’s unfortunate.” But his tone contrasts sharply with a list tacked to his bulletin board. It recommends chants for “a lively picket.” Half-way down the page, one reads, “On strike, shut it down!

[Blank] is a union town!”

Lawson, the U.E.’s 44-year-old veteran organizer, is well-versed in these in-your-face tactics. She grew up walking picket lines with her parents in Gary, Indiana, and has been working for the union for 16 years. She undoubtedly has more experience with unions and unionbusting than any of the new union members or their bosses. In conversation, Lawson comes across as laudably tough, but her off-handed reference to “management types” tags her as someone who may be too cynical to win the hearts of timid business owners, who desperately want reassurance that they’re not the enemy.

When union foes complain about “outsiders” coming in to radicalize workers, they’re talking about

“Community support would be great,” she says, “but my primary concern is the workers… You pull the workers out of your community, what do you have? Your grocery shelves are empty, your coffee cup goes unfilled. It’s time that the community recognizes how important the workers are.”

For all the union bluster, steward Sean Damon acknowledges that confrontation has, if not hampered their efforts, at least distracted some people from the issue of workers’ rights.

In the backlash over J. Morgan’s actions, he says, “The issues got pushed aside.”

To refocus, organizers took a break this spring from pushing for contracts. Instead, they distributed a survey to downtown workers asking them what they felt they lacked. Respondents’ top concern: creating a means for addressing grievances in the workplace. As a result, the union implemented a steward system — there are four, each of whom has a downtown territory. Now any worker, unionized or not, can contact his or her steward with any complaints. Since this system was put in place earlier this summer, union membership has grown; 54 workers now pay $12 monthly dues. This includes 24 at the two union shops and 30 individuals scattered among a dozen downtown businesses.

Though some of the negotiations the stewards undertake on members’ behalf lack the legal imprint of a union contract, Damon and Warner are optimistic about the system’s potential. They

end to the rhetoric of class warfare might want the story to end here, but there’s more. Stewards Damon and Warner say they haven’t actually given up their original strategy, they’ve only put it on hold. If all goes according to plan, things should heat up again this fall. The owners don’t know it yet, Warner says, but workers at two downtown businesses are “getting up the courage to confront their bosses and demand recognition.”

It’s difficult to tell if the sweetly smiling Warner knows how threatening she sounds. She seems not to notice business owners’ reactions to this sort of rhetoric, though it’s difficult to tell whether her obliviousness stems from her years of perceived mistreatment as an employee or is a result of toeing the union line.

Lately Warner has been traveling across the country speaking to union audiences about the Downtown Worker’s Union. She and fellow steward Ellen Thompson got a great reception in Olympia, Washington. “We were just swarmed with people from the labor movement telling us that this is such an innovative project,” Warner says. With almost missionary zeal, she speaks of spreading the idea to other towns.

“There are thousands of Montpeliers across the country,” she says.

“Thousands of them.”

But Damon insists that this union drive is not all about spreading the union model. “The point is to have a dialogue,” he says. “Before we were around, there was virtually no dialogue about low-wage service-sector workers and their concerns. We’ve created that dialogue.”

He admits that the conversation hasn’t always been positive, but says that’s okay. “Even if people disagree with us vehemently,” he suggests, “they’re thinking about it. We’re not invisible any longer. That’s a victory.”

STORY

JOHN O’BRIEN “Wish You Were Here: Vermont Postcards.”

Wilbur Room, Fleming Museum, University of Vermont, Burlington.

Through September 19.

Allen Davis, author of Postcards From Vermont: A Social History, 1905-1945, speaks on the social history of postcards from the Green Mountain State.

Fleming Museum, Burlington, August 5, 7 p.m. $5. Also at the Old Depot Welcome Center, St. Johnsbury, August 19, 7:30 p.m. Free.

Going Postcard love postcards. A friend claims I spend more time looking at the postcards in a museum gift shop than I do looking at the art. I get my oil changed at a place next to a flea market just so I can go paw through shoeboxes of musty old postcards. I send about two a day, a habit I’ve had for 15 years. For me, nothing connects better.

When I send a postcard to a friend, the image side must be something apropos to our friendship. The stamp must be a commentary, too. The address must be thematic, or at least artistic. The message, being public, is an opportunity for a double entendre. The restrictive writing space requires welcome brevity.

My daily challenge is to find a postcard somewhere in my disorganized collection that almost magically connects. For example, some friends of mine in Chelsea recently hosted a dinner party and showed Fritz Lang’s first Hollywood film, Fury.

Supper followed the movie and, somewhere between the salad and the tart, my host happened to mention that NASA’s countdown originated from Lang’s 1929 German film, The Woman on the Moon.

Lang calculated there was more tension counting down from 10 than up to 10.

At this point in the conversation, a stupid grin must have spread across my face, no doubt revealing arugula caught between my teeth along with my childlike amazement. In my head, I was on my knees, fists clenched, screaming, “Yes! Yes!” Because that morning, looking for a Fritz Lang-themed card to send as a thank you, I had stumbled upon a postcard of a movie still from The Woman on the Moon!

Before that morning, I hadn’t even known Lang made a movie with that title.

There must be a word in English for what happens when you learn something new and, within hours or at most days, bump into another reference to it. For me, this serendipitous collision often involves a postcard.

This connectedness is rampant in Vermont, of course. One example: A few weeks ago, I was hanging out in Norwich with film producer Bill Stetson. We were talking about Jay Craven and Bess O’Brien’s TV sitcom “Windy Acres.” Bill had recommended to Jay and Bess that they glean what they could from the late Vermont humorists Alan Foley and Francis Colburn. When I was very young,

I had seen Alan Foley speak, but I had never heard of Francis Colburn (the namesake of the gallery in the University of Vermont’s art department).

Then, last week, when I was interviewing Allen Davis, author of the delectable Postcards From Vermont: A Social History, 1905-1945, I discovered that he attended Dartmouth College after a stellar run at Hardwick Academy. Knowing Alan Foley had taught at Dartmouth, I asked Davis if he knew him. Knew him? It turned he’d been a favorite of the prof ’s and had even helped him grade papers over bourbon.

Now a Professor of History Emeritus at Temple University, Davis is scheduled to give two talks in Vermont this month in connection with his book, and in his capacity as an avid “deltiologist” — that is, a postcard collector — and lifelong Vermontophile. The first is this Thursday, August 5, at the Fleming Museum in Burlington, in conjunction with the current exhibit, “Wish You Were Here: Vermont Postcards.” Davis’ second talk, August 19 in St. Johnsbury, was organized

by Selene Colburn — Francis’ granddaughter!

The “golden age” of postcards was glorious but short: 1907 to 1915. In 1909, close to a billion postcards were mailed in the U.S., according to Davis’ book. The mania was juiced by new technology (the popularizing of the camera), new laws (the RFD Act of 1896), and good old-fashioned marketing. Before World War I, a drugstore in, say, Barre, would have had postcard racks full of these selections: the Robert Burns statue; every church, school and hotel in town; the Aldrich Public Library; the Opera House and City Hall; the post office; the railroad depot; the hospital; the Masonic Hall; Main Street and… you get the idea.

Evelyn Hankins, curator of collections and exhibitions at the Fleming Museum, recently moved to Vermont after working at New York’s Whitney Museum. She comes from a long line of postcard writers; her sister recently typed “Hankins” into an eBay search and found a collection of her Pennsylvanian grandmother’s postcards in the Midwest.

For the Fleming exhibit, Hankins says, she trolled through “thousands” of post-

cards in Special Collections at the University of Vermont’s Bailey/ Howe Library, before winnowing her picks to 500. Of these, she eventually settled on 200 for “Wish You Were Here.” They are displayed in the museum’s Wilbur Room, under glass, so of course you can’t pick them up to read them. But in many cases the exhibit provides printed versions of the messages written by the card senders.

The day I went to the Fleming to see the postcards, I arrived at 3:40 p.m. The Museum closes at 4 sharp. That gave me 20 minutes to look at 200 postcards. Six seconds per card. The first one held my attention for two minutes. Isn’t it noteworthy that in 1907 the women’s basketball team in Stowe wore hightop sneakers?

Close by in another card, an

Next, a postcard sent from Montpelier on April 8, 1911. It arrived in Washington, D.C., the next day — early postcards often had sending and receiving postmarks. This was exciting news: A century of technological advances has brought within our grasp the efficiencies of a hundred years ago. Nowadays it’s natural to call up, on our cell phones, anybody at any time and tell them exactly what we are doing at that precise moment. Future anthropologists may note, though, that this strange behavior is not unlike that of postcard writers, traced back as far as the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893.

And few of today’s terse email memos or cell calls can top the prosaic banality of postcards in their heyday. One of Hankins’ favorites in the Fleming show is a

Nowadays critics claim that electronic communication is hastening the decline of the English language.

But that’s so early 20th century!

Davis writes in Postcards From Vermont: “A number of articles appeared in the popular magazines after 1905 criticizing postcards for encouraging poor grammar, sloppy spelling, and poor writing, as well as encouraging intellectual laziness. Many predicted that the postcard would

This image threw me further off my pace. My mind began to wander: When did it become forbidden for the Stars and Stripes to touch the ground? Maybe it’s a relatively recent addition, like “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance…

What the hell was Fort Bridgeman? Is Vermont Yankee built on Fort Bridgeman? Is there a postcard of fuel rods in a swimming pool?

She curtly reminds him in every missive to “Please bring home some eggs.”

Another modern expectation — “I need this yesterday” — also has a postcard precedent. Prof.

Davis told me about a postcard sent in around 1910 from Greensboro to Greensboro Bend.

Please bring cake.”

lead to the decline of the art of letter writing.”

Since I’ve begun emailing, I’ve noticed a decline in my postcarding. I knew this was going to happen. Every technological innovation distances us a little more from our nicely imperfect humanness. This is why I prefer illuminated manuscripts to the Gutenberg Bible, handset type to the typewriter, the typewriter to the computer. No doubt my golden years will be full of nostalgic reminiscences of the wonderfully organic G4.

There is a 1910 postcard in the Fleming show of a woman perched on a cliff: Peaked Mountain, Townshend. She’s wearing a white blouse and a long, black skirt and looks like a Henry James heroine. This image reminds me of a photo postcard in the family album of my neighbor Kermit Glines. Kermit was born in 1908, and the photo is a snapshot of his aunt Lena, a beauty in a white dress standing by the railroad tracks in Pompanoosic.

From Kermit’s Lena, I make the mental leap to a monologue by the character “Mr. Bernstein” in Citizen Kane: You’re pretty young, Mr. … Mr. Thompson. A fellow will remember things you wouldn’t think he’d remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on a ferry and, as we pulled out, there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on — and she was carrying a white parasol — and I only saw her for one second and she didn’t see me at all. But I’ll bet a month hasn’t gone by since that I haven’t thought of that girl.

That’s what a postcard can do to me. What can an email evoke?

The lights in Fleming’s Wilbur Room dimmed as I squinted at a postcard reading, “Of all the girls I met in Tinmouth, you’re the one for me.”

The message slanders a rival and proposes a tryst at the grange. I rushed past a card depicting a creamery burning in Hinesburg, another of Company E leaving Bellows Falls for Mexico to chase Pancho Villa. I passed by hundreds of elms, now all gone.

In the gloom I could barely make out a postcard with a quartet of little black-and-white interiors advertising the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury.

Who would have sent this card, and to whom? “Wish you were here” doesn’t really seem to apply.

At 4:10, a very kind docent found me in the dark, unlocked the front door and escorted me out. Later, on my way back to Tunbridge, I wondered if school children still use Waterbury as a threat, as in, “They’re going to send you to Waterbury!” From I89 above the village, I looked to the right and saw the great smokestack printed with the initials VSH — Vermont State Hospital. Two exits later, I looked west again. Where the interstate rises towards Berlin, the sun was setting behind Camel’s Hump. At home, I have a postcard of that exact prospect. And I asked myself, “Who would like that card?” m

The Biz Behind the Buzz

Putting on a music festival in Vermont takes more than good tunes and good vibes

T STORY

CASEY REA

hirty-four bands. Forty-five Portalets.

Fifty-seven vendors and exhibitors. One bio-diesel generator. Sound like a fun camping trip? Organizers of the Vermont Alternative Energy Festival and the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival are banking on it. The acts are in place, the spaces cleared for the two August music extravaganzas in Vermont that don’t involve Phish. All you have to do is gas up the car, rally the buds, and show up — it’s all good, right?

Well, behind the scenes it’s not so simple. A lot of time, energy and planning goes into making a festival; with

inclement weather can do. The walk-up ticket sales were dismal — and even the Reverend’s heavenly connections couldn’t hold off the showers.

No, controlling the elements is not an option — though some have tried.

Ed Dufresne, the Northeast Kingdom fest’s chief organizer, promoter and booking whiz, tells about a Paul McCartney show in St. Petersburg, where a nervous promoter reportedly spent $55,000 for three jets to lace the clouds with dry ice. He managed to keep 50,000 Russians blissfully content, but free vodka would have been cheap-

The websites for both concerts strongly advise bringing not only sleeping gear but clothing for warm, cold and foul weather. Barring a truly nasty storm, however, the shows will go on.

And when all is said and done, it’s the music everyone will be talking about, not their soggy sandals.

Without the entertainment locked down, of course, there isn’t a show at all. Booking a killer lineup is “the first thing I do,” says Crothers. With an ear for the consummate bill but an eye on the bottom line, he begins his search for touring talent several weeks before the

While there’s always hacky-sack and stickspinning to fall back on, Dufresne and Crothers have lined up some non-musical attractions to keep the revelers occupied. hundreds of practical considerations, it’s akin to harnessing chaos. In order to even get up and running, the location needs to be secured and prepped, local townsfolk and the neighboring burgs need to be sweet-talked, bands have to be booked with contracts in place, and vendors, exhibitors and security hired.

Never mind coordinating parking, camping, marketing and creating the official websites.

But the best-laid plans are, of course, at the mercy of Mother Nature. At the recent Al Green concert at Shelburne Museum, concertgoers witnessed firsthand what an “imminent threat” of

er. Asked if his show this weekend in Albany, Vermont, has any such contingency plans, Dufresne chuckles. “They might be doing that up at the Phish show, though,” he says.

Concert impresario Alex Crothers of Higher Ground Presents comes to the 6-year-old Alternative Energy Festival in Randolph for the first time as booking agent, organizer and PR guy. Other experiences putting on outdoor entertainment — including the series at Shelburne Museum — have taught him to be philosophical. When faced with challenges of the meteorological kind, “You roll with it,” he suggests, Zen-like.

announcement of the festival.

Assistance in the process comes from Bob Kennedy, a promotion partner for this event and also Reid Genauer’s manager. The number of acts on the VAEF bill reflects both economic factors and the overall spirit of the show.

Crothers aims for a festival that is “intimate and manageable” as well as affordable. Both he and Dufresne worked to line up popular national acts, yet both also want their events to have “homegrown” appeal. Some of that is achieved by hiring familiar acts. Kennedy and Crothers set their sights on groups that had performed well at Higher Ground,

and some of the local acts are returning faves from previous years.

Dufresne bills the Northeast Kingdom event as a “roots and rhythm” showcase.

Now in its second year, the NEKMF is “an intimate festival of epic proportions,” he says. The 22-band lineup reads like a who’s who of eclectic and danceable groups, with an emphasis on roots.

But if their grooves are intact, performers’ demands are not always tactful.

With good-natured humor, Dufresne notes that the contract for the 13-member Israel Vibration had provisions for a separate hotel room for each member of the sprawling unit. Even in Burlington this might pose a logistical challenge. In tiny Albany, Vermont, it’s comical.

“I found them 13 single motel rooms in St. Johnsbury, 45 minutes south of the venue but on their way back to New York City, so it worked for them,” says Duresne. “Best thing about it is, they gave me a corporate rate of $53 a room, as they never get this kind of request in St. J.” Most bands get motel rooms, but few need singles — in fact, some stay right on-site. “A number of acts I’ve convinced to take VIP camping,” says the promoter. He’s motivated by a desire to create a festival in which “everyone will know each other by the end of the weekend.” Spinal Tap-esque incidents aside, Dufresne appears undaunted by any difficulty.

Keeping a thousand-plus attendees entertained involves more than music, though. If an audience gets stir-crazy, it threatens the communal good vibe. While there’s always hacky-sack and stick-spinning to fall back on, Dufresne and Crothers have lined up some non-musical attractions to keep the revelers occupied.

This mission is as important to the festival as the music. “Alternative energy is something that’s very near and dear to my heart,” says Crothers. “In this election year, it’s something that’s very important to get out there.” Accordingly, the event will

JOHN BROWN’S BODY host more than 30 like-minded exhibitors of technologies whose time is now, if not yesterday.

Presentations include bio-diesel and vegetable-oil engines, and demonstrations of wind, solar, hydro and fuel-cell power.

This dedication is not just lip service: The festival’s energy demands will be completely met by a 30,000-watt bio-diesel generator — that’s reportedly enough spark to power a small village. And an exciting new technology will debut at VAEF in the form of stage lighting: gel-free LED lights that use as little as one-sixth of the power of conventional lighting sources.

These are indeed some “bright“ presenters. And as added incentive to a clean-burning lifestyle, the drivers of any “alternativeenergy vehicle or efficient hybrid” will get in free. Last year 25 such vehicles arrived, according to festival co-founder and alt-energy specialist Shane Clarke. This year even

more are expected.

Of course, both events have food vendors, many of them offering organic and/or healthy chow. The NEKMF is also catering to parents: For the little kids, puppeteers and jugglers.

Older kids as well as grown-ups will find plenty of reasons to stray from the main stage, including a “pickin’ workshop,” a poetry slam and even speeches on such provocative topics as education, taxes, marijuana and the drinking age — these courtesy of Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Hardy Machia.

After two days of such gonzo action, it might be tempting to set up permanent camp. Alas, you can’t — after you leave, the crew still has to clean up your mess.

Crothers has his strategy down: “Come in, have low impact, and immediately disappear” following the festivities. This vanishing act is not without its traces, however.

According to Dufresne, who does much of the cleanup himself, last year’s NEKMF generated approximately $675 in bottle returns, which were donated to a local charity. A small dump truck

REID GENAUER AND THE ASSEMBLY OF DUST

was filled with partygoers’ refuse. “If we hit 2000 people, I imagine we’ll have three or so dump-truck loads of trash,” he speculates.

Being a concert promoter may be one of the most thankless jobs on Earth, suggests Crothers. It’s the promoter who shoulders the blame when the bands, the weather or even the audience cause problems. And a pissed-off audience can mean piss-poor revenue for future enterprises. If the show comes off without an apparent hitch, on the other hand, the promoters rarely hear praise.

So why do they do it? “The social part of the experience is a big part about what a gathering like this is all about,” Dufresne says, claiming that some people have even met their soul mates at his festival. Crothers has a passion for turning people on to both music and alternative energy. At the end of the day — or two days — it isn’t any one thing that makes a festival hit the high notes. It’s everything. m

reviewthis THE JUNKMAN, JUNK MUSIC 2 (The Moo Group, CD) Who would have thought that trash could sound like music? Donald Knaack, a.k.a. The Junkman, that’s who. On his second solo CD, Junk Music 2, the Manchester-based percussionist explores the way junk sounds.

Surprisingly, it sounds pretty good. Fashioning his instruments out of the detritus that most of us ignore, The Junkman’s music is primitive and tribal, at times urgent. It is world beat on a surfboard, banging on an automobile brake drum while shaking a metal candy tin filled with rice and blowing on a dijeridoo made from PVC pipe. In keeping with The Junkman’s role as recycling spokesperson for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, the 12 tracks here have titles such as “Styrofoam Never Dies,” “The Bushes Don’t Protect the Trees” and “SUVs SUCK Gasoline.” The message, which could be accusatory, is instead thoughtful and even playful, as in the tinkling and lovely “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” The instruments of choice for the track “Beat the Can” include various-sized tin cans, metal and plastic drum containers, a beer keg and voices, accompanied by a frenetic electronic rhythm that would be right at home at a rave.

When a gravelly voice repeatedly growls, “Beat the can,” it is both a literal invitation into Knaack’s world and a plea to be more aware in our own. “Abracadabra” comes complete with a witchy voice offering ominous words and an insidious beat that erupts into a fearless cacophony. The final track, “Surfer at the River Styx,” is a 28-minute epic commissioned for choreographer Twyla Tharp. It is by far the most evocative piece of the bunch, a meandering, seven-part journey that begins innocently, with a light beat and gentle chiming, and grows into an oceanic roar before easing into the gentle lullaby with which The Junkman smoothly delivers listeners back to solid ground.

CHRIS KLEEMAN & BOB STANNARD, MADE IN VERMONT: LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM OBSCURE BUT POPULAR PLACES (Self-released, CD) The homes of Chester, Vermont, bluesboy Chris Kleeman and his musical compadre Bob Stannard, from Manchester Center, are separated by some of the tallest mountains in Vermont, but it doesn’t seem to have gotten in their way, physically or musically. On their first joint album, Made in Vermont: Live Performances From Obscure But Popular Places, the two churn, choogle and sweat through an encyclopedia of blues styles. On this CD, 12 classics by Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Chester Burnette and more are given loving treatment by two players with the knowledge and skill to make them work.

Kleeman can wail on an electric guitar, and really shines when he slides on his beat-up old National Steel. Stannard, who sounds like he came out of the womb armed with a blues harp, recalls the best of the Chicago blues harmonica players, melding passion with rhythmic riffs from the styles of Sonny Boy Williamson I and II, Sonny Terry and others. Throughout Made in Vermont, Kleeman and Stannard are backed by a number of pickup drummers and bassists. There are no lapses — the whole baby works.

The experience these guys bring to their music has been obtained from lots of road time.

Kleeman and Stannard are both in their fifties, have been playing bars for decades, and are clearly not ready for AARP bus tours. From the energy and pump of the music, it sounds as if some of the “obscure places” mentioned in the title might be smoky roadhouses, so it’s surprising to discover that most of the album was recorded live in such relatively sedate venues as the Riley Rink in Manchester and the Old Firehouse in Tinmouth. A few tracks were laid down at Southview Arts, a fine little studio on a hill above Middletown Springs, and at Kleeman’s home studio. It’s clear that Kleeman, who has played with many musical partners over the years, and Stannard have found that rare thing: a musical complement that really fits.

Made in the Shade

T EXHIBIT Charles Duke and 14 regional artists.

Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery, Shelburne.

Through August 11.

ARTWORK “Untitled” by Frank Woods PHOTO Marc Awodey

he current exhibition at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne is as pleasant as a walk in the shade on a hot August day. Many styles are represented, but the unifying factor is quality, and the fact that everything is made in Vermont.

There are virtually no weak pieces among the 14 artists; all the selections are cooly competent and easy to enjoy.

Five pieces by the late Charles Duke — all untitled large works on paper — hold a prominent place in the exhibition. They’re abstractions, yet ultimately based on nature and still life. One of Duke’s watercolors portrays a box of bright oranges rolled across a kitchen table. A matrix of pale blue lines and patches of color enliven the space beneath the oranges. Red-orange, semitransparent objects are scattered on the table, and there is a similarly hued chair as well. A large, yellow circle in the background neatly ties the composition together, while providing a gentle contrast to the complementary colors.

Exquisite Duke pastels are also on display. One untitled beach landscape rendered in varied earth tones portrays a row of shells and stones. An undulating surf scene is inhabited by two small boats sailing geometrically toward the horizon.

Virginia McNeice’s pastels are more straightforward realism. “First Shed in Early Light” is the view to a saltbox-style shed in a clearing. The shed’s angularity is a nice contrast to the soft edges of the trees. “Row of Cypress” is an evening landscape of tall, thin trees silhouetted against a yellow-orange sky. There is a

row of purple mountains in the background.

Byron Geigel’s “Lake Champlain” appears to be a vista discovered at the narrow, southern end of the lake. It’s a fairly large oil, approximately 30 by 40 inches, described with lush brushstrokes.

Geigel laid out a meadow of autumnal hues in front of darker-valued mountains and trees.

Alison Goodwin’s original acrylic still life, “March Lilies,” is arguably stronger than her serigraphs in the show — though she’s best known for the latter.

The colors are vibrant and the forms are whimsical in both mediums, but the

almost like a small Dutch still life. Its shadows are soft, its angles perpendicular to each other. The book referred to in the title appears as a triangle jutting up from the lower left corner of the picture, in front of a deep bowl of pears.

The figurative works by Frank Woods are all untitled. His drawing style is almost Matissian, and his palette borders on Fauvism as well. A female nude features light and shadow captured in starkly divided values. Her warm skin tones contrast with an almost acidic green background, which includes decorative lines of varied weights and angles.

Barbara Wagner’s abstractions are a

There are virtually no weak pieces among the 14 artists; all the selections are cooly competent and easy to enjoy. prints can’t capture the tactile quality of Goodwin’s — or anyone’s — paint handling. The framing is also an integral part of “March Lilies,” giving it greater dimensionality than a serigraph.

The still lifes by Marti Nash are more organic. “Peppers and Apples” has echoes of Gauguin and the French Symbolists. The top half of the little canvas is crowded with green peppers and red apples in a shallow bowl, surrounded by a yellow table top. “Blue Book” displays greater naturalism,

highlight in any exhibition, and this one is no exception. Five canvasses from her “Glimpses” series are included here. The composition of the largest, “Glimpses #7,” is divided into three horizontal bands; lighter intensities of hue above and below straddle a rich stratum of crimson in the middle.

This exhibition is strong, but not in a way that bowls you over. August in Vermont is all about relaxing; to that end, Furchgott Sourdiffe’s show is well timed. m

film review

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

The Village ★★★

I VILLAGE PEOPLE Phoenix patrols the border between colonists and woodland weirdos.

’ve got two words for M. Night Shyamalan: Screwball comedy.

Or buddy film. Maybe even chick flick. That’s because the writer-director has beaten the whole spooky-movie-with-a-surprise-twist thing into the ground, and the time has come to shovel some dirt over it, say a few words and let it rest in peace.

The filmmaker’s subsequent work has never managed to live up to the promise of The Sixth Sense. The Village is atmospheric and borderline creepy in places, as were Unbreakable and Signs, but it is never for a second scary, and the big reveal is Shyamalan’s biggest letdown yet. I saw it coming about a quarter of the way through the film, and I expect a lot of other people will see it coming, too.

I wish some media outlet would conduct an exit poll to see how many audience members out of every hundred guessed the twist ahead of time. I bet the result would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 to 60 percent.

Speaking of neighborhoods: The story is set in a 19th-century-style community whose inhabitants are so relentlessly dour and formal, they make your average Amish settlement look like “Temptation Island” in comparison. The community is governed by a committee of dour elders which includes founder William Hurt, bereaved father Brendan Gleeson, and a widow played by Sigourney Weaver. Together they make the rules for their small society, and rule number one is: Don’t go in the woods.

The community, you see, is surrounded by woods. And, when I say woods, I do not mean bucolic greenery or lush landscaping.

I mean miles and miles of deep, dark forest along the lines of the woods that swallowed those nitwits in The Blair Witch Project.

The periphery of the village is punctuated by yellow banners, watchtowers and torches that are lit at nightfall. What the villagers are watching out for are terrifying creatures referred to as Those We Do Not Speak Of. Which is a silly name, given how much time everybody spends speaking of them.

We are led to understand that super-sized, red-robed ghoulies dwell in the woods, and that they have entered into a truce with the villagers similar to the one King Kong observed with his native neighbors. So long as a meaty sacrifice is left out for them periodically, they stay on their side of the border and let the villagers go about their business on theirs.

In addition to meetings presided over by dour elders, this business includes communal meals, feeding the livestock and crop-related chores, along with the occasional love triangle. Bryce

Dallas Howard — daughter of Opie — makes a transfixing screen debut as a blind but feisty young woman adored by two men. One is a strong, silent type played by Joaquin Phoenix. The other is Adrien Brody in the role of the village idiot.

Brody’s character misinterprets the tender attentions that Howard’s shows him. Phoenix’s has been under her spell since childhood, but finds it difficult to express his feelings. There’s a touching scene in which the two sit on a porch just before dawn and Phoenix finally blurts out all the things he’s been keeping bottled up for years — things that Howard, in her otherworldly way, has always known and patiently waited to hear.

Well, this isn’t “Little House on the Prairie,” so it’s only a matter of time until something terrible happens and, shortly after that moving moment, somebody does in fact do something terrible to somebody, which leads to somebody else risking it all to brave the woods to bring medicine back from “the towns.”

This is a particularly heroic gesture, and not just because of the beasties who could be lurking behind every elm. Elders have taught their young that towns are places to be avoided at any cost — sin-infested hellholes where horrifying fates such as robbery, rape and murder await anyone foolish enough to enter them.

Sorry to be so vague, but that’s the way it has to be when you review one of Shyamalan’s films — especially this one. Aside from a fine line or two of dialogue, an ominous mood heightened by Roger Deakins’ effective cinematography, and Howard’s ethereal performance, there’s not a whole lot to the movie other than its big surprise. Saying almost anything else would risk giving that away. It’s not much, but it’s about all The Village has.

Which is a shame, and here’s why: The guy’s a great filmmaker. As a director, he’s blessed with exceptional gifts for pacing and mood; as a writer, he makes most Hollywood scribes look like hacks. Shyamalan really owes it to his career and his fans to break out of this one-trick cage he’s built around himself.

I’m not sure we’re going to see that happen, though. For one thing, he’s become a brand at this point. For another, his bigsurprise pictures will continue to turn a profit, because people will continue turning up to see whether, against all odds, he might manage to match The Sixth Sense.

Every time he fails, his fans just become more eager to see whether next time will be the charm. Which is why abandoning his trademark gimmick now would be the director’s biggest surprise to date. m

COLLATERAL: If there’s one thing Michael Mann knows, it’s bad guys.

He’s the director who introduced us to Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox in Manhunter). Tom Cruise probably won’t be dining on his victims in the director’s latest, but he’ll be racking them up as a contract killer on the town for a night of paid mayhem.

With Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. (120 min, R) THE CORPORATION: Here’s something you don’t see every day: A documentary which features Michael Moore’s views on big business but which Michael Moore didn’t direct. Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott bring us this highly praised rumination on the growing prominence of global businesses. Also featuring Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. (145 min, NR) LITTLE BLACK BOOK: Brittany Murphy and Ron Livingston are paired in this romantic comedy about an insecure young woman who snoops around in her boyfriend’s Palm and is shocked by what she finds there. With Kathy Bates. Directed by Nick Hurran. (107 min, PG-13) PRINCESS DIARIES 2: Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews and director Garry Marshall reunite for this sequel in which everybody’s favorite Genovian gets to choose from a line-up of potential Prince Charmings. (115 min, G) SINCE OTAR LEFT: From Julie Bertocelli comes this critically hailed drama about the relationship between an elderly woman, her daughter and her granddaughter living in contemporary Tbilisi. (102 min, NR) THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL: Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni blend ethnographic and dramatic techniques in this motion picture about nomadic Mongolians who reunite a rejected baby camel with its mother by means of a folk ritual. (93 min, PG)

DE-LOVELY

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Control Freaks

This is certainly a Manchurian Candidate for the contemporary election season; the script offers chicanery that practically seems ripped from the headlines. a 1962 thriller adapted from a Richard Condon novel and directed by John Frankenheimer. The classic film, which centers on an assassination plot, was yanked from theaters after the most conspiratorial puzzle in modern times: the murder of John F. Kennedy.

The tense remake by Jonathan Demme, which opened nationwide on Friday, replaces the Red Scare with a fear of terrorism that allows those in power to

cynically manipulate a vulnerable populace. And this is certainly a Manchurian Candidate for the contemporary election season; the Daniel Pyne-Dean Georgaris script offers chicanery that seems almost ripped from the headlines.

Instead of the Korean conflict “hero” played by Laurence Harvey 42 years ago, Lt. Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber) now wins a medal for commanding troops in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. As before, he’s the scion of a political dynasty. His vice-presidential ambitions are new.

When Shaw and his men are captured in the Kuwaiti desert, it’s no longer by Chinese Communists who employ hypnosis to brainwash them at the behest of right-wing extremists back in the Land of the Free. The POWs are currently at the mercy of microchips implanted under their skin by a multinational cabal in league with Manchurian Global, a corporation not unlike Halliburton. In both versions, the soldiers return home with memories of their ordeal wiped clean.

The cunning puppeteer behind this scheme is still Shaw’s Lady Macbeth of a mother, portrayed by Meryl Streep with much the same arrogance and innuendo that Angela Lansbury once used to devastating effect. Capt. Ben Marco, the only character who suspects a coup is in the works, has changed. He’s more freaked out. As Shaw’s former comradein-arms, Denzel Washington takes over

the jittery role that helped crooner Frank Sinatra bolster his acting credentials.

Demme’s impeccable cast includes Jon Voight as a liberal Senator, Kimberly Elise as a woman who befriends Marco, and Jeffrey Wright as a man unhinged by his military experience. Yet the entertaining update fails to equal the black-and-white masterpiece Frankenheimer crafted. To some extent, it’s an issue of missing imagery.

Gone is the Queen of Diamonds, which triggers Shaw’s inner zombie whenever he indulges in a game of solitaire. That visual impact has been replaced by a spoken command; the guy goes into I, Robot mode every time Mom utters his full name.

Another lost opportunity for a vivid depiction of mind control: No more prim garden-club ladies with flowery hats in Marco’s nightmares. In the original Candidate, they’re hallucinatory creatures devised by the enemy to camouflage the horror of Chairman Mao’s cadres messing with his head.

In the 2004 movie, ululating women dressed in head-to-toe black chadors, with tattooed faces, could be the dreaming Marco’s real or imagined recollections. Either way, it’s a safe bet they don’t do any gardening.

In case you missed Since Otar Left at the Green Mountain Film Festival in March, the Savoy is bringing the art-

house drama back to Montpelier for a run that begins this weekend. Director Julie Bertucelli’s wrenching saga concerns three generations of women trapped by the crumbling economy and depressing milieu of Georgia, the former Soviet republic. Eka, the grandmother who rules their roost with an iron hand, softens only when her beloved son Otar calls from Paris. A former medical student who has relocated to France, he’s now an undocumented alien working in construction. Middle-aged Marina is jealous of her brother’s elevated status in the family. Eka’s twentysomething granddaughter, Ada, has a burning desire to get the hell out of Tblisi.

The Touchstone theatrical release of Hidalgo, an epic adventure penned

by Vermont’s John Fusco, earned $110 million around the world in the past four months. It has been Disney’s most successful cinematic venture this year, according to the Lamoille County screenwriter. Viggo Mortensen, perhaps best known for his role in The Lord of the Rings, stars as a cowboy named Frank T. Hopkins who reluctantly competes in an 1890 horse race that spans 3000 miles across the Middle East. The DVD, which comes out this week, includes a documentary Fusco wrote and produced about the history of the Spanish Mustang. Mortensen narrates on and off camera. m

fickle fannie

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

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

The YIELD SIGN seems to have a kinky subtext.

There’s something spooky about the Egyptian PYRAMIDS. A SLICE OF PIZZA is better plain than with extra junk on it.

It’s hard to set up pool balls without the RACK. Only hoist the SPINNAKER when you have a strong wind.

GEODESIC DOMES are a good playground idea.

A trunk full of ARROWHEADS is worth ten thousand clams.

The guitar is a better chick magnet than the BALALAIKA. In Brave New World, the DELTAS did the grunt work.

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com), or write me at Seven Days. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS RUBBER. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 46A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

BLOODLESS REPORTING

ALTERNATIVE POLITICS

It was with great interest that I flipped to the vampire article in Seven Days [“Interview with Vampires,” July 21]. These gamers have been a part of the Burlington nightlife at least since I was in high school 10 years ago, and I was eager to learn more about them. I was expecting perhaps some insight into disenfranchised youth seeking empowerment in this imaginary LARP world. Perhaps an exploration of the vampire figure as a seductive mythological portrayal of human evil? Perhaps portraits of people who immerse themselves in this fantasy world to escape the harsh reality and tedium of everyday life?

No, no and no. Just some lady who hangs out with LARP gamers for one evening so she can write a condescending, do-nothing article about them. What a disappointing waste of our time, your space and Susan Norton’s wonderful artwork. It may be a big joke to Miss Resmer, but I’m sure it isn’t to these dedicated young people, and I know it isn’t to me — a Vermonter and Seven Days reader. When I pick up an article about a segment of the Burlington community, I expect to learn something about it… even if it’s the “weird world of Live Action Role Play.” I hope we will see a more interesting and insightful look at these gamers in a future issue.

Hey, I love Seven Days, but you blew it, ignoring Peter Camejo’s visit to Burlington July 23. Camejo, sharing the ticket with Ralph Nader to provide voters with a real choice in November, addressed about 75 enthusiastic supporters at UVM’s Waterman Lounge. Camejo spoke to the importance of his and Nader’s candidacy in promoting democracy.

Observing that both major parties are relying primarily on fear, i.e., Bush exploiting conservatives’ fear of terrorists and liberals, and Kerry using liberals’ fear of Bush, Camejo noted that no one had to vote for Nader and himself, but that neither the Democratic nor the Republican candidate represented working-class Americans. Camejo went on to discuss the real role of the Democratic Party: to feign concern for workers, while still allowing all the injustices and inequalities inherent in capitalism to occur, in order to stifle genuine reform.

Camejo drew an analogy apropos to the current situation. During the 1840s and 1850s, when both major parties, the Democrats and Whigs, supported slavery to varying degrees, rather than holding their noses and choosing the “lesser of two evils,” abolitionists formed parties opposed to “the peculiar institution.” One of those, although in a very different form today, was the Republican Party, whose candidate Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. Explaining that both the Democratic and Republican candidates today support both the war in Iraq and corporations over human

KIDS AT RISK? Regarding your “Cruel and Unusual” article in the July 14-21 issue... It’s inconceivable that Lauralee Bushey got just another slap on her wrist for what she’s done to those animals, certainly with the law having been changed.

My greater concern at this point is for her children. It can’t be stated often enough that animal abuse, neglect or cruelty is directly correlated to child abuse. Someone should be regularly checking in on her children, because it seems they’re at risk. By her own admission, she said she used to joke with her husband that the kids came first, critters second and he came third. He’s dead, some of the “critters” are dead and others are in big trouble.

How funny is that? What’s more, could those kids be far behind?

Versailles, Illinois, reported that Gordon A. Bryant, 70, put a stocking over his head before entering a bank to rob it, but the bank, which had been held up five months earlier, had installed a system to buzz in customers. Employees did not unlock the door because they saw the man was covering his face. They also notified the authorities, who apprehended Bryant nearby.

• Police in Gadsden, Alabama, arrested Mark Allen Patterson, 44, after he visited the office of the Gadsden Times and admitted trying to rob a local bank.

When detectives asked him why he visited the newspaper, he told them he wanted to

Monza, Italy, enacted a ban against residents keeping goldfish in bowls. “The ruling is intended to transmit a message about the correct treatment of domestic animals,” the measure’s sponsor, Giampietro Mosca, said. “A fish kept in a bowl has a distorted view of reality and suffers because of this.”

More Woes Much of the United States is sinking, according to GPS satellite measurements by scientists at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, whereas Canada is rising by up to half an inch per year. The reason, said Northwestern professor of geological sciences Seth Stein, is that material from Earth’s sticky but still fluid mantle is slowly moving north from under the Midwest and Northeast, where it was pushed from the weight of heavy ice sheets during the last Ice Age, which ended 10,000 years ago.

Fathers of Invention The German eyeglass maker IC! Berlin has introduced frames that double as chopsticks. The detachable stainless-steel frame arms can also be used as forks.

“The idea came from the common need for cutlery at any time,” company director Ralph Anderl explained, adding that the $330 frames are especially popular with sushi customers in a hurry. “Our so-called sushi specs have been a particular hit in Japan.”

• Texas neurobiologist Galen Kaufman is working with Oregon State University researchers to develop carbonated fruit.

He discovered the concept while on a sailing trip when he bit into a pear that had been chilled with dry ice and found it had absorbed the carbon dioxide.

OSU professor John Henry Wells said that fizzy fruit should be a big hit with children and their parents.

• Denmark’s Gunni Jensen, 67, has invented safety shoes to help people escape high-rise buildings in emergencies. Noting that he was inspired by images of people jumping from the twin towers in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, Jensen explained that his “glideshoe” safety system works by mounting a narrow steel rail on the outside of a building near a window. In an emergency,

When Guns Are Outlawed During an argument at a mobile home in Port Orange, Florida, authorities said that David Havenner, 41, hit his girlfriend with a 3-foot alligator. Havenner had been keeping the gator in his bathtub.

Avoidable Mishaps Police in Appleton, Wisconsin, reported that Leland Laird, 54, who uses a wheelchair and regularly makes obscene gestures at passing trains, was injured when he got too close to one of them and it hit him.

Even though Laird uses a wheelchair because a train struck a car he was driving in 1989, police Lt. Pat Matuszewski explained that he flips off trains because he objects to their loud warning horns.

• Joyce Stewart, 59, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, had to call paramedics after she used 3M’s liquid bandage to treat a crack on her heel and glued her foot to the kitchen floor. She said that she first tried to use a knife to loosen the linoleum from her foot but when the skin began to pull away and her foot started to bleed, she decided to declare an emergency. Three paramedics needed more than an hour and a bottle of baby oil to free her. Noting that the package says the product runs easily and sets quickly, Stewart pointed out that there’s no warning against gluing body parts.

“They should have that on there,” she declared.

WHAT’S NEWBERY? The Newbery Medal is to children’s literature what the Oscars are to movies, so it’s a big deal when two winning writers pair up on a double bill. Both Karen Hesse and Katherine Paterson have won the coveted prize: Hesse for her novel Out of the Dust, and Paterson for the young adult classics Bridge to Terabithia, Jacob Have I Loved.

You’ll get a new appreciation for “storytime” — and the adult themes in both books — when the two Vermont residents read from their works.

KAREN HESSE AND KATHERINE PATERSON READING Wednesday, August 11, Strafford Town House, Picnic at 6 p.m. Reading at 7 p.m. Free.

WED.04 scene@RUN AGAINST BUSH music CAPITOL STEPS IN MONTPELIER, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 5:30 P.M.

Some Vermonters who are sweating the idea of four more years with George W. Bush in the White House have committed themselves to “going the distance” to get him out of the White House. Last week, a dozen or so runners, joggers and walkers gathered on the Capitol steps in Montpelier. They were participating in Vermont’s first monthly “Run Against Bush,” part of a national exercise to get out the vote for the November general election.

Run Against Bush was launched to let athletes voice their dissatisfaction with the Bush team while raising money to defeat him — but without sacrificing their normal workout routines. For a $25 contribution, each runner receives a “Run Against Bush” T-shirt and his or her own web page for posting a personal testimonial about why this race is so important.

Friends and family then sponsor the runners in various marathons, road races or informal runs around the country, including one held each weekend in Washington, D.C., where Run Against Bush joggers literally “run circles around the White House.”

Since the national group formed in February, Run Against Bush has signed up nearly 7000 runners nationwide and raised more than $188,000.

All proceeds support national anti-Bush organizations such as Americans Coming together and MoveOn.org, voter-registration drives in swing states, tightly contested congressional races and the Kerry campaign.

Kelly Green of South Royalton was Vermont’s first Run Against Bush member. “Why am I doing this? Because if Bush is elected he will have the opportunity to nominate up to four Supreme Court justices,” Green writes in her testimonial. “Those justices could be around for 30 or 40 years, and we could be suffering under Bush politics for a long, long time.”

So far, Green has raised about $125 toward her goal of $1000. But she says her T-shirt has attracted a lot of interest — and at her last road race, she even “registered one pissed-off voter.” Talk about riding a charley horse for change.

FOODIE FORUM Chef celèbre Christopher Kimball cooks for the camera: When he’s not hosting public television’s top-rated cooking show, “America’s Test Kitchen,” the parttime Vermonter is worrying over his magazine, Cook’s Illustrated. Funny that a guy so clearly concerned with images of edibles would keynote Vermont Fresh Network’s annual forum with a speech entitled, “Eating With Our Eyes: How to Sell the American Consumer on Taste, Not Appearance.” No doubt the walk-around dinner that follows — prepared by the state’s best farmers and chefs — will satisfy on both counts.

He’s also the public-relations captain on the Lois McClure, which sails into St. A. on the first of September.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I work days as a children’s librarian and moonlight as an exotic dancer in a different town. Very few people who know me at my day job are aware of my “secret life,” and I’d like to keep it that way. About a week ago, the grandfather of one of my regular readers sidled up to my desk and asked, “Do you have any books on dance?” Then he winked. A few days later, he asked if I had any books about “strip development.” Again, the wink. Both times I took his questions at face value, but it seems clear that he’s found out about my second career. I can’t concentrate on my work anymore, I’m so worried about when he might come in again and what he’ll say. If he spills the beans to the wrong person, I might lose my job. Should I confront him? What if I’m wrong?

Worried in Williston Dear Worried, How good are you at playing poker? Keep your stony face long enough and he’ll lose interest in his little game. If you’re really intent on keeping your secret, don’t tip your hand.

Love, Lola

AUGUST 5-11

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Charles Baudelaire counseled readers to be drunk continually ‘on wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish,’” wrote Kate Taylor in The New Yorker. “But he also thought drugs were a perversion of our taste for the infinite and that great minds could furnish their own intoxicants.” I’m hoping you’re one of those “great minds” the French poet was talking about, Aries. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need a large helping of the magic that lies outside of ordinary consciousness. But you’re far more likely to thrive if you can find a natural way to satisfy your “taste for the infinite.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your actions in the immediate future could have a potent impact on your long-range future. For instance, new connections you forge in the coming weeks — especially if you leave your comfort zone to make them — will be valuable if you decide to leave your current dream home and head to a new dream home next year. Here’s another example: If you spend some time this August trying to fix a glitch in the way you communicate, 2005 may bring a dramatic enrichment of your sense of community and a surge of grace in your family dynamics.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): To LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In describhint at the potentials of the coming week, I’ll appropriate the words of avant-garde music composer and author John Cage. In describing his work, he once said, “I have nothing to say/and I am saying it/and that is poetry.” Here’s an altered version, Taurus, created especially to suit your current astrological needs: You have nothing to do/and you are doing it/and that’s your genius.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The gods have authorized me to give you three tough but sweet oracles.

Ready? 1) If you hope to be in the right place at the right time to hear the words that will set you free, you’ll have to act with both more confidence and more humility. 2) To learn the clue that will heal an old rift, you’ll have to really want to know what’s going on beneath the official version of the truth. 3) To find the hidden beauty and inspiration in an initially awkward mess, you’ll have to respond without anger to a message that feels threatening to your pride.

ing his creative process, novelist Jack Kerouac said, “The first thought is the best thought.” When Allen Ginsberg was asked, “What’s the best advice you can give a poet?” he echoed Kerouac.

On the other hand, Nobel Prize-winning writer William Butler Yeats constantly revised works he had already published, even fiddling with poems that were many years old. Pierre Bonnard was so committed to editing himself that “he was once caught trying to retouch one of his own paintings hanging on a museum wall,” wrote poet Linh Dinh, who concluded, “Last thought is the best thought.” While there are valid arguments for both views, Leo, the astrological omens say your best bet for now is to go the way of Kerouac and Ginsberg.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before you can move on to your next exciting challenge, you’ll have to answer a few hard questions about the life you’ve lived since your last birthday. The

object of this test is not to make you feel guilty, but to help you take inventory of your gaffes and indiscretions so you can make atonement, thereby clearing a path to the future. Have you purposely caused anyone pain? Did you tell any big lies? Did you commit any unethical acts? Have you revealed information told to you in confidence? Do you owe money or energy to anyone you have no intention of paying back? Confess everything, Virgo — to the mirror. Then go set things right, or at least as right as possible.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If the landscape reveals one certainty,” wrote Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, “it is that the extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After the one extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with fresh vigor.” In my astrological opinion, Libra, it is your duty to resonate with this particular aspect of the cosmos. For the next few weeks, you have license to overflow with floods of self-expression; you have the right to create like a god who has the pleasure and privilege of creating a new world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A Taoist parable tells of a poor farmer who owned a single horse. One night it ran away. The neighbors came to offer condolences. “What bad luck!” they said. “Maybe,” the farmer replied.

“Maybe not.” A week later, the fugitive horse returned, accompanied by six wild horses. The farmer and his son corralled them. “Lucky you!” the neighbors cried.

“Maybe,” the farmer said. “Maybe not.”

Soon the son tried taming the new arrivals. A stallion threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. “Terrible luck!” the neighbors wailed. “Maybe,” said the farmer. “Maybe not.” The next day, soldiers visited the village. Strife had broken out between two warlords, and one had decided to conscript the local young men. Though every other son was taken, the farmer’s boy was spared because of his injury. “What fantastic luck!” the neighbors said. I think this story captures the essence of your coming week pretty well, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): In the middle of a moonlit night last February, someone in the English town of Pembury sneaked into the yards of over a hundred homes and secretly planted an ash sapling in each one. It was hard work. The weather was bad and each tree needed a hole dug to accommodate it. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I believe you’ll soon be the recipient of a gift like that. Other good surprises may be on tap as well, especially if you say a prayer in which you tell God or Goddess that you’re ready, willing and able to receive all manner of unexpected benevolence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The saliva of vampire bats appears to be effective in dissolving the blood clots that cause strokes. Ongoing research into the medical applications of snake venom suggests it may ultimately be used to fight cancer, heart attacks and mad-cow disease. And I suspect that in the coming weeks, Capricorn, you will be healed by a small dose of an experience that in large doses has felt noxious

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Visionary educator Maria Montessori believed that self-discipline motivated by a child’s own enthusiasm is far better than discipline imposed on the child by a strong-willed authority.

What’s the best way to develop the superior form? Kids need to understand the difference between good and evil and, even more importantly, they must not associate good with passive immobility and evil with animated activity. I believe her argument will be useful for you to meditate on in the coming weeks, Pisces. It’s an ideal time to bring more order, efficiency and discipline into your rhythm. And the best way to do that is to cultivate an irrepressible desire to perpetrate aggressive acts of generosity and good will.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are more ready than you’ve ever been for the kind of intimacy that the poet Adrienne Rich extols: “An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word ‘love’ — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.” I’m not implying, Aquarius, that you should find a relationship where you can continually break down your self-delusions and dig for the raw truth. Nor am I insisting that you should prod one of your existing relationships to leap to this higher octave.

But I am saying that you have the strength and courage to try it.
