BLIND BUSH What’s wrong with President Bush? He’s willing to take our country to war with Iraq chasing phantom “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” but when a real dictator is slaughtering his own people in Sudan, Bush turns a blind eye. After the genocides in Germany and Rwanda, we vowed, “Never again.” Now we need to say, “Not this time.”

HOLY SEE Who cares about 15,000 Iraqi deaths? If columnist Peter Kurth [“Crank Call,” July 14] had bothered to inquire about the Pope John Paul II’s thoughts on the war, he’d have found that the Pope cares a great deal.

The Pope has been a constant, outspoken critic of President Bush’s war. He’s sent emissaries to Bush and had UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s ear throughout this conflict with the intent of avoiding bloodshed. He’s called the war immoral and unjust in no uncertain terms many times, and shortly after the outbreak of hostilities said, “When war, like the one now in Iraq, threatens the fate of humanity, it is even more urgent for us to proclaim, with a firm and decisive voice, that only peace is the way of building a more just and caring society.”

While Mr. Kurth may disagree with the Pope on other issues, it is simply ignorant to paint the

Frank O’Neil RICHFORD

HOMELAND TERROR By now I’m sure that most people have seen the trial balloons that have risen from Washington concerning postponing the election this year. There seems to be concern that the “evil doers” are planning something sinister to “disrupt our democratic process.”

If I remember correctly, in the immediate aftermath of September 11, we were told, among other things, to keep shopping, keep flying, and continue with our consumer habits. In short, that we should remain vigilant, yet not give in to terrorists.

I wonder why it is that Bush and his minions (or is Bush one of the minions?), who claim that we are safer now that we have invaded Iraq, is considering surrendering our most fundamental building block of democracy to the threat of terrorism? Wouldn’t a real leader be sending this message to al Qaeda: “Fuck you. We will hold our elections. We will stand strong no matter what you do to us.” (Sorry about the f-word. I learned it from Dick Cheney) Because, after all, if we don’t go forward with the elections, then… the terrorists win! Or could it be that the plan is to beat the terror-

CREATURE KINDNESS As a concerned animal lover I am writing to thank you for printing the cover story “Cruel and Unusual” by Ken Picard [July 14].

Although the article was disturbing to read, it is so important for people to be aware of the ongoing battle regarding animal cruelty. As you know, animal cruelty can take many forms and is linked to family violence. I’d like to commend your paper for taking on this issue.

Keep up the good work.

I am so pleased to learn that the Governor has signed the S.100 bill into law. I was one of the people who actively supported it.

Gemma Montani ESSEX JUNCTION

SHOPPING DESIRES Ken Picard notes in “Up Against the Wal” [July 21] that Americans’ appetite for cheap goods fuels the big-box-store construction across the country. What his report on his visit to the Williston Wal-Mart fails to capture, however, is that most Vermonters would prefer to shop elsewhere. Over 70 percent of Vermonters prefer to shop in their neighborhoods or in a nearby downtown or village center,

according to an annual poll released last month by the Vermont Forum on Sprawl and the University of Vermont’s Center for Rural Studies.

(See www.vtsprawl.org for more information.)

Furthermore, the majority of Vermonters would rather have such stores located in existing downtowns or a compact commercial center, not on open land outside of a downtown. Through the efforts of the Vermont Smart Growth Collaborative, the Vermont Forum on Sprawl is com-

mitted to partnering with Vermont communities to plan for retail development that fits in with Vermont’s quality of life and landscape, not supplants it.

Elizabeth Humstone BURLINGTON

Humstone is executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl.

AH, WILDERNESS Last week my 8-year-old asked me why some kids have to come all the way to Vermont to get “Fresh Air.” I told him that in many

places there are lots of buildings and cars, but few trees. He could not imagine such a thing. His only memories are of Vermont. Mine are not; perhaps that is why I love this state so much. I recognize Vermont for the rare treasure that she is: Her people are genuine and there are a lot of trees.

Many towns have squares and parks with trees stretching out to catch sunlight, their canopies wide from lack of competition. These are tame trees; they are beautiful in a kept way. But the wild trees are

where I feed my soul and behold the wonders of Life and Nature, escaping from the stressful roar of engines, clocks and man-made madness. Large tracts of untamed land provide us with solace, respectful recreation, fresh water and air, rare wildlife habitat and lessons that cannot be learned elsewhere.

There are over 6 billion people, and counting each second. Every human uses up the Earth. We need to protect and create wild, natural habitat for our grandchildren and for the shy, old-growth critters and

plants dependent upon it. We cut timber and ride ATVs on private lands, but wilderness of good size never happens on private lands.

Only our National Forests can provide sizeable wilderness.

The corporate Goliaths want to gut the wilderness that is meant for our children. Please speak up and demand, “More Wilderness and No ATVs in our Green Mountain National Forest!”

A

nd we’re not just talking about the ponies at Saratoga Springs, New York, where the annual summer race meeting begins this Wednesday.

We’re talking about the race for governor of Vermont.

This week the campaigns of incumbent Republican Jim Douglas and his Democratic challenger, Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, unveiled their first 30-second TV ads. From the looks of them, folks, this one is going to get pretty nasty pretty quickly.

Mayor Moonie opened up with a rather witty spot featuring himself as the spokesman. Clavelle makes the pitch Jim Douglas hasn’t done diddly-squat about soaring health-care costs, particularly prescription drug imports from north of the border.

“Everybody knows there’s a health-care crisis in Vermont,” says Clavelle. “Everybody but Jim Douglas.”

Clavelle invites viewers to his website — www.clavelleforgovernor.com — where they can make their Canadian cheap-drug connections.

Clavelle’s ad was shot on a recent sunny day at Burlington’s Oakledge Park. It uses automobiles as props. There’s Pedro’s new family car, a Honda hybrid, adorned with Clavelle stickers. And there’s a Lincoln Town Car that plays the part of Gov. Douglas’ official vehicle.

Naturally, the rear end of the Lincoln is plastered with both “Jim Douglas for Governor” and “Bush-Cheney ’04” bumper stickers. That connection is key to Clavelle’s success, and in 30 seconds there are four separate shots taken of the Republican bumper-sticker alliance.

“We don’t need to wait for Jim and George,” says Clavelle from the driver’s seat as he pulls out to pass the Lincoln Town car.

Very cute. Very on message. In Clavelle’s case it’s a two-part message: leadership on health care and George W. Bush.

Having caught the Clavelle spot by accident early Monday morning, Douglas’ campaign chairman Neale Lunderville was quickly on the phones to news organizations with a snappy rebuttal. Again and again, the Boy Wonder who ran Douglas’ 2002 campaign expressed how “disappointed” he was that Peter Clavelle would run “a negative attack ad.”

Not surprisingly, Lunderville never made mention of the Douglas campaign’s negative attack ad that was supposed to have been released the same day.

Timing is everything, eh?

Seven Days has learned the Douglas campaign had planned to release their own 30second attack ad on Monday via the Internet.

Rather than compete for media attention with Mayor Moonie’s TV spot, Lunderville said the decision was made to hold off until Tuesday. And what a beauty of an attack ad it is!

The Douglas spot, which the Boy Wonder says may make it onto local TV screens later on, is reminiscent of the George W. Bush spots trashing John Kerry.

A car pulls up to order at a fast-food drive-thru lane.

“Welcome to Clavelle’s. Can I help you?”

“What’s on the menu?”

“Higher property taxes. Higher taxes on

at 1/2 price! small business. Higher gas taxes,” etc.

“How about a serving of Peter Clavelle’s supersized income taxes?” asks the voice on the speaker.

“They call Peter’s ad negative?” scoffed Clavelle campaign spokesman B. J. Rogers on Tuesday after viewing the Douglas ad.

“Seems they wrote the book on that,” said Mr. Rogers (and, no, we didn’t ask him about his neighborhood).

Usually, tight political races devolve into negative, personal attacks much later in the game. In the case of the current race for governor of Vermont, however, both sides have, as they say, “gone negative” from the get-go.

It is but one indication that the Douglas vs. Clavelle race for governor is a lot closer than many people realize.

VPR Ears Aching — We’ve been getting calls lately from longtime devoted listeners and contributors to Vermont Public Radio who share one universal complaint — they can’t stomach the ads for Wal-Mart they’ve been hearing broadcasted by their beloved VPR. They’re not alone.

National Public Radio listeners coast-tocoast have been complaining for months about burning ears resulting from hearing stuff like: “Wal-Mart, providing jobs and opportunities for millions of Americans of all ages and all walks of life. ‘Our People Make the Difference.’ Information at Wal-Mart Stores dot com.”

Or: “Wal-Mart, committed to providing its associates a variety of career paths, training resources and advancement opportunities. Information at Wal-Mart Stores dot com.”

VPR Boss Mark Vogelzang told Seven Days the “commercials” are not really commercials, but rather “a standard underwriting credit just like any other business.”

And they’re running on NPR programs, not on locally produced programs.

Mr. Vogelzang said VPR has received “a small number of complaints” from listeners.

He estimated “20 to 30 people” have called the Colchester-based radio station.

As for the Wal-Mart underwriting credits, Mark said they must conform to NPR guidelines.

“Fundamentally, this is a journalistic organization,” said the VPR chief. “We’re not going to fall into the trap of deciding who’s good and who’s bad.”

Vogelzang expressed confidence that VPR listeners are “intelligent” and will make their own decisions about patronizing Wal-Mart or advocating its expansion in Vermont.

As for Wal-Mart “underwriting credits,” a.k.a. commercials, affecting VPR’s news coverage, Vogelzang emphasized, “There is a firewall between underwriting and what we report.”

“an exploration of Bush’s psyche.” Justin A. Frank, a practicing psychiatrist for 35 years and a clinical professor at George Washington University Medical Center, told the Washington Post that he has never met the president but wrote Bush on the Couch using publicly available materials after he began noting Bush’s behavior two years ago. “I was really very unsettled by him, and I started watching everything he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape,” Frank said. “I felt he was disturbed.”

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

Vermont’s “Little Italy” Fright School

L

adies and gentleman, citizens of the United States, former free persons and torches of Liberty! I don’t want to be the one who breaks this news to you, but somebody has to, and it might as well be me.

Listen up, because this is terribly important. Not just your own future, but the future of all generations after you will depend upon it.

You’re not scared enough. You’re not scared nearly enough. You should be frightened out of your wits and, apparently, you’re not.

Don’t take my word for it — it’s official.

Last week, the so-called “independent” National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States — otherwise known as the 9/11 Commission — concluded in its final report, not just that further terrorist assaults on the U.S. are “possi-

Evidently the world needs more instruction in how to get blown to smithereens. ble — even probable,” but that these are likely to be “deadlier” than the ones that killed nearly 3000 people in September 2001.

It’s hard to know, of course, what the commission means by “deadlier.” Do they mean that more than 3000 people will die next time, or that those who do will be more dead than the ones before?

No matter. “We are not safe,” the commission says.

“We were asleep at the wheel,” it says.

“We may have been shocked,” it says, “but we should not be surprised.”

Right. No “surprise” when the two tallest buildings in the world go down to fiery doom, taking everyone in and around them with it. The commission’s Republican chair, former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean, adds, for the record, “Time is not on our side.”

Time isn’t on anyone’s side, when you think about it, but the only thing Kean and his crew can recommend is a new “security” chief to oversee all “intelligence gathering” in this land, a federal position — yes, another one — to be created, appointed and approved by “the President,” whoever that is. At the moment, it’s George W. Bush, whose regime was “asleep at the wheel” the first time around. Just give it another week and they’ll be calling the new guy “Security Czar.”

“We deliberately made the decision not to play the blame game,” says Kean’s “bipartisan” co-chair, Democrat Lee Hamilton, a former congressman from Indiana who has never in his life come down on the square side of anything.

“We’re looking to the future, not the past.”

Sweet. This is where “the people” — whose husbands, wives, children and partners died in the 9/11 disaster — aren’t allowed to spit over the ropes. This is where, and how, the commission keeps them in place. This is the technique of all usurpation in our time, from the highest levels of national life to the lowest rip-offs of budget funding in Vermont: “I’m so sorry. Here, we don’t ‘revisit’ the past. We

Pizzeria/Takeout/Delivery: 655-5555 Fine Dining (upstairs) Reservations: 655-0000 The Bakery (lower level): 655-5282

look to the future!”

That’s going to help a lot — really, a lot.

When “the past” is forbidden territory — “past history,” as the flunkies say — and “the blame game” is never played, there’s no one to punish but you and me, down here on the street.

You think I’m kidding? Even before the 9/11 report was released last week, the American Red Cross called a pow-wow at George Washington University in Foggy Bottom, in the nation’s capital, to talk about “American vigilance” in the face of “catastrophic attack.” As I said at the start, it seems that none of you is taking it seriously enough.

“Only two in 10 Americans feel ‘very prepared’ for a catastrophic event,” according to the ARC: “Only about half of parents polled knew the disaster plans of their child’s school or daycare; the number of people who are familiar with the disaster plan at their workplace is also only about half; and the number of people who said that they have a family emergency plan that includes a place to meet if they are evacuated … has plummeted in the last year. In fact, only one in ten American households has a family emergency plan, a disaster kit, and training in first aid and CPR.” Evidently the world needs more instruction in how to get blown to smithereens.

“We need to narrow the universe of the unprepared,” says American Red Cross President Marsha Evans, who, by the sight of her, wouldn’t recognize the universe of anyone not already outfitted like Mia Farrow in “petite” escape clothes. “Whether it’s an act of terrorism or an act of God, there are five easy steps you can take to prepare for it! You can make a plan, build a kit, get trained, volunteer and give blood — the five basic building blocks of the ‘Red Cross Together We Prepare’ program!”

Please note that the American Red Cross isn’t the same as the International Committee of the Red Cross — the valiant body that goes into any battle zone, come hell or high water, to assist the dying and wounded — and that Evans is speaking only for a tiny minority of rich, white Americans on committees. She is a woman of such emptiness, such depth of non-comprehension, that she can actually add to these insults: “Unprepared Americans fall into five categories: ‘head scratchers,’ who don’t know where to find preparedness advice; ‘head in the sand’ types, who believe preparation is unimportant; ‘head in the clouds’ people, who mistakenly believe they are ready; the ‘headset crowd’ that is too busy and can’t find time to do it; and people who ‘simply haven’t thought about preparedness.’”

These are the people, I’d guess, who actually have heads. “Our goal is to achieve seamless protection,” says Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, who shared the podium with Evans last week and speaks in the voice of the Bush administration — “a nation knit tightly together by shared vigilance.”

RUNNING FOR COVER? Nectar’s has had a “no cover” policy since time immemorial — until a few weeks ago, that is, when the Burlington nightclub quietly started charging a few bucks to get in on Friday and Saturday nights. It’s a new arrangement, says owner Damon Brink, that is meant to offset the cost of continuing the club’s long tradition of hosting bands every night: “We’ve found the cost of providing live, local music is really high,” says Brink, noting the club has

Higher Ground, The Sequel inally, the announcement we’ve all been waiting for: Higher Ground is making its move… to South Burlington. Since the popular nightclub closed its doors in Winooski last April — making way for the Onion City’s revitalization project — music fans have speculated where the place would relocate. And if.

Meanwhile, Higher Ground owners have been talking amongst themselves, not to mention with city officials of both Burlington and South Burlington, debating the merits and demerits of the Sh-NaNa’s building versus Merrill’s Showcase.

Downtown Burlington, along with the rest of the club scene? Or in a renovated movie theater on the strip-like thoroughfare of Williston Road?

“We were treated really well by Burlington and South Burlington,” says Higher Ground General Manager Kevin Statesir. “Both cities really welcomed us.

It just came down to what we felt was most like we had in Winooski.” That is, proximity to an interstate exit and plenty of parking. “Parking is key,” Statesir emphasizes. “We can put big trucks and tour busses in there.”

No question load-in would be more of a challenge at 101 Main Street — although the legendary Hunt’s nightclub managed it for years. And then there’s the fire-gutted structure. Still, Statesir admits they “would have preferred, in some ways, to be part of the Burlington downtown revival, but,” he says, “it’s not that far from downtown — just over the highway.” More to the point, the place is within easy walking distance for UVM students. And for those late or too-cold nights, Statesir says, “We’re looking at shuttle service from campus.”

So what’s the ETA for Higher Ground 2? Statesir is hesitant to get specific, saying only that they hope to “get part of October, because it’s a big performance month.”

That’s not much time, really, for the transformation of a five-theater moviehouse into a nightclub with a ballroom, a smaller showcase room, a full kitchen, two sets of bathrooms and a lobby.

Showcase owner Merrill Jarvis is quickly getting out of the way. After this week, the 32-year-old cinema on Williston Road is going dark. To celebrate, on Friday only Jarvis is lowering movie admission to $3 and selling popcorn and soda for $1 each. It may be the last “cheap seats” we see in a long, long time.

spent “tens of thousands of dollars” maintaining the music, improving the place and keeping it all accessible. To that end, he’s issuing get-into-Nectar’s-free membership cards to some regulars. Everybody else can still see local bands Sunday through Thursday without paying. But

regional acts on Friday and Saturday nights will have a small fee attached.

Larger ticketed acts, like the Samples, may be pricier yet. A recent show with Jennifer Hartswell and Seth Yacovone had an eight-dollar price tag.

“We couldn’t have produced it otherwise,” says Brink, noting he plans to produce “bigger and bigger shows. In some cases, we’ll be booking national acts.”

Move over, Higher Ground. Oh, whoops, they already did that.

ENTRANCES AND EXITS Vermont actor Ethan Bowen has a new role: producer and artistic director of Bald Mountain Stage. After appearances with St. Michael’s Playhouse, Lost Nation and Vermont Stage, the Rochester resident decided to start his own theater company — presumably, so he could stay closer to home. But he’s created a touring troupe that aims to “go to the people instead of having them come to us,” Bowen says, noting he’s targeting audiences in Woodstock, Brandon, Norwich, Randolph and Vergennes. The company’s inaugural play is the easily transportable Stones in His Pockets, a two-man comicdrama about a couple of hapless Irish extras swept up in the filming of the Hollywood movie, Far and Away. Bowen and Jeff Allin both play multiple characters in the road show . . . The Wolcott Children’s Ballet is all about outreach.

Larissa Sintsova and Kennet Oberly have been running the remarkable rural dance school since its much-loved founder died in the mid-’90s. Sintsova was a dancer in the Estonian State Ballet; Oberly with the Stuttgart and Boston ballets. Now they, too, are moving on to run a ballet school in Ohio. The husbandand-wife team — she dances to his choreography — will give a final performance next Sunday, August 8, at the Craftsbury Academy Gymnasium. Figments From Imagination is set to 15 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti. No two Vermont artists have better earned an ovation. 쩾 Email Pamels at pamela@sevendaysvt.com

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

12A

Dear Cecil, I’ve heard a rumor that eating charred hot dogs or hamburgers (or anything else) cooked on a charcoal grill (not a gas grill) can cause cancer. Apparently there is a chemical reaction that takes place when the meat is burned. Have you heard anything supporting this?

Chad, via e-mail Always the way, ain’t it? It’s not enough that you eat right, don’t smoke, exercise, etc. Now they say you can get cancer if you burn the frigging burgers. What next — carcinoma from cracking your knuckles? Tumors from not flossing?

I’m not ruling anything out. But let’s not get too excited. While eating burned food may increase cancer risk, nobody knows how much. Herewith some FAQs: Does barbecuing cause cancer? Let’s put it this way.

Grilled meat contains known and suspected carcinogens.

Whether it contains enough to significantly increase your risk of cancer hasn’t been firmly established.

Grilling meat produces at least two types of potentially dangerous chemicals: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs). PAHs are products of imperfect combustion found in smoke and burned matter. No doubt about it, in large enough quantities they cause cancer in humans — to cite one famous example, scrotal cancer in chimney sweeps. In barbecue grills they’re commonly formed when dripping fat flares up, charring the underside of the meat. For that matter, you make PAHs when you burn a piece of toast.

HCAs, whose possible role in cancer was more recently discovered, are the result of reactions between chemicals in muscle meat produced by high heat or prolonged cooking. In contrast to PAHs, HCAs are found inside the meat, not just on the surface, and can’t be easily scraped or trimmed off. Also in contrast to PAHs,

HCAs aren’t necessarily more likely to be produced during grilling — they can be created when cooking in an ordinary oven or frying pan if you turn the heat up high enough. Researchers have found that HCAs are potent carcinogens when fed to rodents, but the link to cancer in humans is less clear; the rodents get thousands of times the dose you get from the occasional grilled burger.

I won’t bore you with the numbers, but in most of the epidemiological studies I’ve seen, the tests of statistical significance are barely out of the weeds.

Are all types of barbecuing equally risky? No. Mainly we’re talking about grilling over open flame at high heat — back-yard barbecuing, in other words. Slow barbecue, which generally involves lower temperatures and minimal flame exposure, seems to be less problematic. When grilling, cooking meat till it’s well done supposedly generates the most HCAs and PAHs, but the write-ups I’ve seen don’t distinguish degrees of doneness adequately.

Are we talking burned to a cinder or a little toothsome char? Not clear.

How serious is the threat? No one knows. The National Cancer Institute, a federal agency, states, “There is no good measure of how much HCAs would have to be eaten to increase cancer risk, and there are no guidelines concerning consumption of foods with HCAs.” No thresholds have been established for PAHs, either.

Are gas grills safer than charcoal? From what I can tell, there’s nothing inherent in gas or charcoal that makes one safer than the other. You can make the case that since (a) production of dangerous chemicals is linked to high heat, and (b) the heat level is easier to control in a gas grill by adjusting the gas flow and rack height (in some grills, anyway), gas grills are safer. But that’s speculation.

What, if anything, should you do to reduce risk due to barbecuing? Most dispensers of health advice, taking a better-safe-than-sorry approach, offer a grab-bag of tips.

Some are easy: Don’t incinerate your food, avoid flareups by not placing meat directly over coals, cook at lower temps, cut off blackened bits. Some are more hassle but not unreasonable: Microwave meat beforehand for one to two minutes to reduce levels of chemicals that form HCAs and to cut down grill time.

Others frankly sound, uh, half-baked, and aren’t well supported by research: Add vitamin E to the meat, drink tea with your barbecue (antioxidants supposedly detoxify HCAs). A few skeptics, notably Steven Milloy of junkscience.com, think the link between well-done meat and cancer is a crock and rightly note that undercooking hamburger increases the risk of food poisoning due to E. coli bacteria. Me? All things in moderation, bubba. If you’re a cave dweller grilling the wily wildebeest on a daily basis, maybe you should worry. A couple steaks once a week during the summer? Hey, I’ll bring the beer.

he dog days of summer can really begin to weigh. Certainly, there are long evenings spent outdoors and brilliant Saturday mornings for bike riding and blazing Sunday afternoons for swimming. But as I lack both cable access and vacation time, I find myself barred from the gross pleasures of huge media events and the refreshing lure of exotic travel.

But at least I’ve got my trusty 56k modem. And speaking of huge media events, the Democratic National Convention is currently blaring away in Boston, pissing off the locals and delighting regime-changers. The DNC has an excellent website featuring live streaming of the action on the convention floor, as well as transcripts of speeches by such important figures as former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter — who curiously begins his address, “Hello, my name is Jimmy Carter,” as if we had forgotten him. Now a matter of permanent record: Al Gore’s apologia for not being the candidate, and professional bloggers paid for by the Dems to post live liberal updates as events occur.

Democratic National Convention: www.dems2004.org 2004 Summer Olympics: www.athens2004.com The Iditarod: www.iditarod.com Orbitz: www.orbitz.com Green Tortoise, East-West trip: www.greentortoise.com/cross.country.we.html Burning Man: www.burningman.com 2 Camels: http://www.2camels.com Rolf Potts’ Vagabonding: www.rolfpotts.com The DNC site also offers live “chats” each evening with party officials and elected Democrats, 7-10 p.m., if you want to pin down a politician on the spot. Even those of you with televisions in every room of the house may want to bookmark this site.

Summer’s other massive media churn, of course, is the 2004 Summer Olympics, running August 13 to 29 in

where in Macedonia, wending its way to Athens very slowly.

The FAQ section lists, in this order, information on official Olympic products, accommodations, mascot, rings, event security and, finally, the athletes. I had foolishly thought I could follow the Olympics online like, say, the Iditarod. I was smartly disabused by my 14-yearold son, who snarled that the rights to

the Olympics are bought and paid for by network TV, and that television executives are much more loathe to give their product away for free on the ’net than are, say, dog mushers. Oh. Right.

Unable to watch, one must instead yearn. A quick search of Orbitz reveals that a round-trip ticket from Burlington to Morocco is only $1221. Of course, it is a 20-hour trip. And a full portion of the flight must occur

overnight on Royal Air Moroc.

Something tells me I wouldn’t get a whole lot of sleep.

More lowly travel may be found on that famed hippie bus, the Green Tortoise. Offering September and October trips from New York to California, the Green Tortoise is a destination in itself, taking two weeks to meander to D.C., the Okefenokee Swamp, Florida beaches, New Orleans, the Texas coast and into the White Sands National Monument of New Mexico. It ends either in Las Vegas or San Francisco, your choice. A one-way ticket is just $549, plus the odd $151 “for food.” Green Tortoise travelers are encouraged to come alone and make friends with their seat-mates, those shower-deprived patchouli-drenched fellows who are best buddies after 14 days on an old, hot bus.

Ditto with the Burning Man festival, which runs August 30 to September 6. An instant art city that springs to life each year in the Nevada desert — and last year hosted some 30,000 people — Burning Man is emphatically not for everyone. In addition to celebrating the essential gleam of each human soul, it’s insanely hot. Water is a personal responsibility, not a right, and people do occasionally die. But the art is great, the folks are naked and the man — a huge wooden edifice standing five stories tall — does burn at the festival’s end. Burning Man’s website, born in large part from techie sensibilities that fueled the dotcom boom, is as thick as a Russian novel but much easier to read.

Indeed, one can sit all clean and shiny and simply read about travel. The 2camels website is a marvelous collec-

tion of essays on far-flung festivals and events, such as the Humungus Fungus.

Named in honor of an 11-ton mushroom discovered flourishing in a 37acre stretch of Crystal Falls, Michigan, this festival does the happy dance to the miracles of the spore.

In Belgium, we learn, mid-August is when the locals float in their bathtubs down the River Meuse. And in Spain, townsfolk who threw tomatoes at each other rather innocently in 1944 unknowingly developed the world’s largest food fight, which is now celebrated as “La Tomatina.”

If you find pleasure in following the exploits of just one man, voyeuristically living through the adventures of writer Rolf Potts is not a bad choice. A young travel essayist, Potts took a somewhat epic cross-country trip 10 years ago and realized that he could quite literally spend his whole life doing little more than gassing up the van and taking off.

Terming himself a new-style “vagabond,” he works just enough to earn money for his next trip. Fortunately for him, he now earns it through writing about the next trip.

In trying to set up an interview with Potts last year, I negotiated phone time with him via email over a two-week period while he was variously in Thailand, Japan and Los Angeles. In looking just now at his blog, I see with vicious satisfaction that he’s currently mired in Kansas. Sometimes, staying home is the best revenge. 쩾

Awbrey left a couple weeks ago following a series of foul-ups both on and off the Gannett-chain paper’s editorial page. Also gone, we hope, will be the Kansan’s editorial obsession with school choice and the avoidance of issues of substance such as the current war.

Today the opinion page of Vermont’s largest daily newspaper is being run by two 46-year-old women named Sue! Carey filled the vacancy at the top by promoting Awbrey’s assistant, Editorial Writer Susan Reid. Unfortunately, like Awbrey before her, Reid lacks much in the way of Vermont history and experience. More on that in a minute.

The good news for readers is that Carey has had the wisdom to slide an old familiar face into the editorial writer position. And man, oh, man, this cat has nine lives!

Back in play is Susan Allen, known to regular Seven Days readers over the years as the Sweet Sue who once served as Gov. Howard Dean’s press secretary.

Not bad. Only six months ago, Sweet Sue was chaperoning our favorite presidential candidate’s spouse, Dr. Judy Dean, into a packed Iowa high school gymnasium.

It’s at least Ms. Allen’s third tour of duty at the Freeps. A Virginia lass, Allen started at USA Today in 1982, then headed north.

She covered the Statehouse for the Freeps and then for Chris Graff ’s A.P. Bureau in Montpelier. She then returned to the Freeps as editorial writer in 1996 before answering Ho-Ho’s call in 1998.

Even though we’ve had our battles with Sweet Sue the Press Secretary (and my eardrums still tingle recalling a particular one), she’s a pretty smart, stand-up, straight-shooting kind of gal. The Freeps editorials, we expect, will noticeably improve both in quality and content.

Now, about our favorite Canadian who has replaced the Kansan in the top spot on the editorial page. Sue Reid’s local claim to fame was her own editorial obsession last summer with Burlington’s proposed new multimodal transportation center on Battery Street next to the train station.

While George W. Bush invaded Iraq, Reid wrote six editorials trashing the bus depot project.

Reid’s version of homeland security was protecting the view along Burlington’s downtown waterfront.

Her edits were quickly heralded by Republican State Rep. Kurt Wright and all the Prog-bashers in Burlap.

Clavelle described Reid’s editorials at the time as “misinformation.”

But misinformation is what makes the world go ’round, folks.

Just look at Iraq, eh?

Eventually the city caved in and scrapped the project at the last minute, even though it had been through five years of planning and review. The federal bucks were all lined up.

Among her arguments, Ms. Reid suggested the Clavelle administration was pulling a fast one, skirting public review and putting up an unsightly building on our precious waterfront that would block the view of paradise.

Reid said she had learned her own waterfront lesson back in her native Toronto, where too much

development had blighted Toronto’s Lake Ontario shoreline.

As we’ve pointed out, the city did everything out in the open, dotted its “i’s” and crossed its “t’s.”

Unfortunately, the Gannett paper’s City Hall coverage had been so skimpy for so long that nothing about the $15 million project had been reported in years.

Editorial Writer Reid apparently woke up one morning after a restless night and decided she wouldn’t allow another Torontolike waterfront.

By the way, Toronto has a population of 2,385,400. That’s 2,345,400 more people than Burlington, Vermont.

Yours truly pedals past the site daily. Blocking the view? What view?

The crumbling, mostly abandoned two-story structure that currently occupies the spot is the last blight left standing on the new Burlington Waterfront.

A new bus station would have risen all of two stories high on the west side of Battery Street. The east side is already occupied by a seven-story office building.

Nobody would lose a view of the lake.

Plus, the CCTA bus depot would have provided a year-round supply of the most precious commodity needed to make the Burlington waterfront work as intended — people.

How do you get to the waterfront?

Take any bus!

A little history might help. You see, 20 years before the Freeps new editorial page editor arrived, there was a rallying cry that echoed through the Queen City.

It started when Burlington was not winning any “livable city” awards. The waterfront was an embarrassment. An unsightly, abandoned no-man’s land that was livable only for rats, raccoons and homeless alcoholics.

Barbed-wire fences and giant oil tanks kept the citizenry from the lake’s edge. It had such a funereal feel to it that one cold night in 1984 I buried my deceased King Street cat, “State of Maine,” there. And then tore my jacket and ribcage on the barbed wire when I climbed back over the “livable” fence.

But change was in the Burlington air following the political revolution that hit the Queen City in 1981. The cry for a “Waterfront for the People” became a growing citywide mantra.

A forward-looking mayor named Bernie Sanders, a brilliant assistant city attorney named John Franco, an up-and-comer state rep named Howard Dean and, eventually, a governor named Madeleine Kunin teamed up to reclaim that waterfront wasteland and turn it into the splendiferous public people’s park it is today.

Don’t tell the Freeps’ Canadian editorial boss, but a giant new structure is under construction just north of the bus station site.

“Lake and College” looks to be the largest new waterfront structure built to date. Melinda Moulton of Main Street Landing is the “redeveloper.”

On what’s been a vacant lot for a century, Melinda’s building a 107,000-square-foot waterfront palace that will have a restaurant, promenades, balconies, performance space, a black-box theater and

SEVEN DAYS a two-screen cinema.

The YMCA is currently looking at the Moran Plant land just up the road.

Imagine if all CCTA buses led to the Burlington Waterfront?

You think some folks would start getting out of their gas guzzlers and hop on the bus?

As it stands, Plan B doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound good. Better sit down for this one.

The bus station site now looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be corporate headquarters for a company that sells upscale frou-frou. Cornell Trading is an international chain that markets designer clothing, fabric and furnishings for the discriminating shopper.

Very nice stuff.

In fact, April and Chris Cornell live here. They are also very generous financial contributors, according to Federal Election Commission records, to BushCheney 2004 and the Republican National Committee. And, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reputed to be quite philanthropic.

The Cornellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; politics is their business. In fact, like Ms. Reid at the Freeps, they hail from Canada.

But a corporate headquarters building on the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterfront in Burlington, Vermont?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely and utterly out of sync with the Waterfront vision of the 1980s and 1990s.

The Cornell Corporate HQ Project, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told, is on the agenda for an upcoming Planning and Zoning meeting.

Check with City Hall for further details.

Bottom line: The Burlington Free Press was editorially wrong on the multimodal bus depot last year.

Dead wrong. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned since that editorials have been glaringly wrong on other topics as well.

The sooner Ms. Reid, the powerful, new editorial page editor, realizes it, the sooner the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discredited editorial page can hope to regain a smidgen of credibility.

Battery and Main just might be a good place to start, eh?

Local Bush Support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Despite a blitz of George W. Bush TV ads in Vermont, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told that recent polling shows the current president to be an extremely unpopular guy in the Green Mountain State.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s born out by Meetup.com, the Internet phenom that helped launched Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential bid. Back in the good old days, more than 200 Deaniacs crammed into Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a Dean Meetup.

Yours truly, you see, in the interests of fairness, also signed up for George W. Bush Meetups.

Unfortunately, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still never been one in Vermont. The message from Meetup we received the other day says it all: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Attention: Your chapter has only 1 active members, making a Meetup unlikely from our experience. Please consider switching to another nearby chapter to increase your chances of actually having a Bush in 2004 Meetup. Numbers shown are number of active members if you switch: â&#x20AC;˘ Albany, NY (6) â&#x20AC;˘ Manchester, NH (5) â&#x20AC;˘ Keene, NH (2)â&#x20AC;?

Comforting to know Bush supporters canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even stomach one another, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?

AN ENTREE TO VERMONT FOOD

Flour Grab?

T IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

here’s a new “wonder” bread on the market, but you won’t find it in a red-white-and-blue plastic package. It comes right out of the oven — hot, aromatic and golden-brown — and looks every bit a handmade creation, down to the knife slashes on its crusty top.

In fact, the baguette — or batard or miche — has been partly baked in California or New Jersey, then shipped frozen to your local Shaw’s, Hannaford, IGA, Price Chopper, A & P or…

City Market? In early August, Burlington’s downtown grocery store plans to start carrying La Brea — a mass-produced, parbaked product that is challenging the definition of artisan bread. No matter how you slice it, these loaves represent serious competition for Vermont bakers, many of whom feel betrayed by a food store that has made a practice of putting local first.

Back in 1977, shoppers didn’t really notice the first fresh-baked loaves of artisan bread at the Shelburne Supermarket. Originally wrapped in paper bags, the product was “invisible” to people accustomed to buying bread in plastic, according to O Bread founder Chuck Conway. The handcrafted local loaves weren’t called “artisan,” either.

Their existence simply suggested “a whole approach to living and eating food and being together,” says Conway.

Twenty-seven years later, his Shelburne Farms bakery turns out 4000 loaves a week. City Market distributes more than 20 varieties, including plain and seeded baguettes, French country, whole wheat, spelt, fig anise, olive ciabatta and cinnamon-raisin swirl. On a recent Sunday night at City Market, all but the sliced sesame wheat had sold out. The savory stocks of Red Hen, Klinger’s, Crescent Moon, Junior’s, Harvest, Stewart’s and other area artisan bakers were similarly picked over: A little sign on the “Deeter’s” rack announced the Northfield-based baker is taking a few weeks off.

And Gerard’s popular French loaves have disappeared altogether, at least for awhile — the baker is recovering from a stroke.

Since Conway started banging out baguettes, dozens of local bakers have jumped on the artisanbread bandwagon. In fact, the prepared-foods manager at City Market, who now presides over the bakery, is hard-pressed to list them all. Jamie Eisenberg says Burlington’s newest bread source, the Great Harvest Bakery on Pine Street, is the “only company I can think of right now that I haven’t had barking at the door.”

That’s because alternative grocery and healthfood stores sell the lion’s share of the loaves to shoppers who are less concerned with cost and

pointed by City Market’s strategy. He believes a fresh-out-of-the-oven competitor “would have a huge impact on our sales,” and claims he has already lost restaurant business to La Brea. For her part, Eisenberg equates it to “one other vendor…

It’s like another bakery opened in town.” Now, when local supplies run low on a Sunday night, City Market can replenish the racks by baking up their own big baguettes for $2.99.

Is this just healthy carb competition or the artisan-bread equivalent of Wal-Mart? La Brea boosters rave about acclaimed artisan baker Nancy Silverton and her work to bring good bread to the masses. About five years ago, she invented a technique that involves pre-baking and flash-freezing dough before shipping. In 10 minutes, you can turn the frozen stuff into tempting loaves.

Is this just healthy carb competition or the artisan-bread equivalent of Wal-Mart? shelf life than quality, health and the satisfaction of buying local. In turn, the store makes sure the fresh bread is prominently displayed. Seventy-five percent of City Market’s bread business is artisanal, and it’s not so easy to find the Pepperidge Farm.

Eisenberg is in the process of “remerchandising” the bakery area, she says, “in a way that might be more welcoming, more casual, rather than the industrial look.”

But some bakers feel her intention to start carrying a line of mass-produced bread — “to help fill in the gaps” — runs counter to everything the indigenous bread section has come to stand for.

Around the beginning of August, City Market will start baking La Brea twice a day — at lunch and just before the dinner hour. The bakery at Shaw’s has been selling the California company’s fresh and frozen product for over a year.

Randy George of Red Hen in Duxbury is disap-

Overnight, artisan bread-making went from a local to a national enterprise. Companies such as Ecce Panis, which supplies Hannaford, are following Silverton’s model.

“Last year, sales of artisanal and artisan-style bread in supermarkets and big chains nationwide grew faster than any part of the bread business,” The New York Times reported in an article that appeared in March. It quoted bread-industry consultant Peter Franklin, predicting, “The ease of parbaked is really phenomenal. I don’t see how anyone will be able to compete with it.”

Plus, the bread is damn good. Conway recalls attending a conference at a culinary institute in California that sponsored a baguette contest.

Silverton won with a parbaked frozen loaf that wowed the judges. “What I heard was that there was such disbelief and outrage that they did it

again. And it won again,” Conway says with a laugh.

“It’s good quality,” and convenient, says coowner Alison Lane of Mirabelles — one of La Brea’s 2500 regular customers. The Burlington bakery has been using the company’s baguettes as sandwich bread for three years. “The only reason… is that it’s easier. It’s more control for us,” she says.

“We can keep boxes in the freezer. If we run out, it takes eight minutes to bake” — and there’s no thawing necessary.

There is some handling involved, though. And Lane is the first to admit you can screw it up, either by burning the loaves or cooking them at too low a temperature. Conway says he’s had La Brea a few times. “One time was great, all the other times it has been less great. Sooner or later,” he says, “everybody’s got consistency problems.”

The greater problem may be philosophical. Can a mass-produced product that is scarcely touched by human hands be described as “artisan?” That topic is being hotly debated amongst members of the Bread Bakers Guild of America. Red Hen’s George, who is arguably the most ambitious artisan baker in Vermont today, weighs in regularly on the issue.

“Artisan does not necessarily say anything about the size of the business, but it does say something about the scale on which the bread is made,” he explains on the phone from Duxbury, where his staff cranks out up to 1400 loaves a day. A quarter of his business comes from restaurants — he supplies the bread to Three Tomatoes, and recently developed a sandwich-friendly baguette for Nicco’s Cucina.

“Ultimately, a customer really does have to care in order for them to buy from a small bakery like us,” he says, noting companies such as Red Hen can’t compete on price with La Brea. The Price Chopper on Shelburne Road carried his bread for six months, but it didn’t sell well. “Artisan bread is not about, ‘How fast can we make this?’ Artisan bread is the antithesis of that,” George says.

He compares La Brea and the artisan-bread explosion to the microbrew business. After decades drinking Bud and Schlitz, Americans realized beer

could actually taste like something. A dozen or so small breweries sprouted in Vermont, and a few of them have survived — no thanks to the big guys, many of whom responded by launching counterfeit “artisan” quaffs.

The analogy is flawed though, because bread doesn’t keep like beer — or at least, it didn’t before. “When you’re talking about a perishable product like bread, it has to be local,” George says. “We get calls once in a while about shipping, and I encourage people to find their own bakery there. People ask, ‘How come you don’t ship to New York City?’ We wouldn’t be what we are if we did.”

The owners of newcomer Bohemian Bread in Calais articulate it a little differently. They imagine themselves as “village bakers” in the sense of serving a small community. “We’re never going to get really big,” says Annie Bakst, whose husband, Robert Hunt, makes and delivers their bread — Calais country loaf, “Troika 3-Seed,” Bohemian rye and rosemary lemon — as far as City Market. “We bake it in the morning and it’s in the stores within two, three — maximum four hours,” Bakst says.

Not surprisingly, Bakst and Hunt are big fans and friends of Jules and Helen Rabin, the founders of Upland Bakery in Plainfield. Along with Conway, the Rabins pioneered the artisan-bread revolution in Vermont. But the couple was never interested in distributing

their dense, European-style loaves too far beyond Montpelier. They “retired” two years ago, but still bake every other Friday in the summer, spring and fall.

“We consider it a huge compliment when anybody compares our bread to theirs,” Bakst says. One difference? Bohemian Bread has a website, featuring a long essay in which Hunt trashes the “artisan” designation as it applies to chain supermarket bread. He likens its decline to the fate of the term “organic,” which he also feels has been watered-down and co-opted by corporate interests. As an alternative, he recommends the term “really good bread.”

Can people agree on such a subjective appellation? Ultimately, palates will determine the outcome of this bread war, Bakst suggests. “There are always going to be people who don’t know the difference, who say, ‘Oh, it’s just bread.’ But she’s confident a bite of Bohemian will win them over.

Could another bread vendor on the shelves — albeit one that is mass-producing cheaper, lessconsistent loaves — possibly increase interest and excitement in the so-called “artisan” approach? O Bread’s Conway says, “There’s room for everyone.” But later he qualifies his optimism: “In a state with a half-million people, there does seem to be a question of how many pieces you can cut the pie into.” 쩾

SEVEN DAYS

Homeland Ho Will new security measures on Lake Champlain make us safer — or just more fearful?

M

ike Cassidy is no stranger to the folks who operate the Lake Champlain ferry at Grand Isle — he’s been riding it since 1991. Every morning, he commutes from his home in Colchester to STORY Plattsburgh, where he works as the KEN managing attorney for Prisoner Legal PICARD Services of New York. Like thousands of other ferry riders crossing the lake, IMAGE Cassidy has only one other alternative MATTHEW for getting to work — driving around THORSEN — and that simply takes too long.

Two weeks ago on his trip home, Cassidy’s car was pulled aside at the ferry landing for a random “security screening,” something that had never happened to him before. “The guy asked me if I would mind him looking in my trunk, and I said, ‘Well, actually, I would mind,’” Cassidy recalls. “He wasn’t quite sure what to do next.”

The crewman was polite but firm: Cassidy wouldn’t be permitted to board the ferry unless he allowed his car to be searched. Cassidy could refuse and get a refund, but the crewman would still take down his license-plate number and not allow him to cross for the rest of the day. So Cassidy asked: What about tomorrow, or next week? Since the screenings are random, his vehicle might not be screened next time. But would his refusal this time automatically make him a suspect on subsequent trips? “My sense was, these were a lot of questions they hadn’t really thought through,” he says.

After some discussion, Cassidy relented. He popped his trunk, the crewman took a quick look inside and he was allowed to proceed. None of Cassidy’s bags or other belongings were searched, though the flyer he received from Lake Champlain Transportation Company, which owns and operates the three Vermont-to-New York ferries, explains that all “persons, cargo, vehicles or carryon baggage” are now subject to random screening.

LCT didn’t implement these new security procedures by choice, nor is it the only company to do so. Beginning July 1, all commercial vessels operating on Lake Champlain are now subject to the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, a law passed in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to safeguard the nation’s marine ports, harbors and waterways. The 72-page legislation requires that all the nation’s ferries and other marine vessels draft security plans that meet Coast Guard approval, and screen passengers, vehicles and cargo for explosives and other weapons. The rigorousness of those screenings is determined by the “MARSEC Security Level,” which is linked to the Department of Homeland Security’s national threat level.

But some civil libertarians are crying foul, charging that these new “screenings” violate the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure. They say these random searches only create the illusion of safety, while

fostering a pervasive climate of fear and further eroding our constitutionally guaranteed right of privacy. Moreover, critics argue, allowing the searches to continue unchallenged sets a dangerous precedent for other, more invasive searches in the future.

Heather Stewart, LCT’s operations manager, oversaw her company’s implementation of the new federal mandates.

Stewart cannot discuss the details of the new security measures or how passengers are randomly selected. She can say, however, that the searches are “not invasive,” and are simply part of a greater “awareness campaign” for ferry crews. “We are trying to minimize the impact on customers and crew, and I think we’ve done that,” Stewart says.

“It’s not like at the border. We’re not tearing cars apart.”

Stewart points out that the new law has been both costly and time-consuming for LCT, especially in Grand Isle, where the ferry operates 24 hours a day all year round. In an effort to keep the cost down, LCT decided not to hire an outside security firm, which would have raised prices and potentially alienated passengers. Instead, she says, the company conducted its own security training for all 125 employees and issued them ID badges, also required by law.

Stewart won’t reveal what this cost the company except to say, “We spent a boatload of desk-hours on it. But we’re absorbing it.”

Another Lake Champlain vessel affected by the new law is the Burlington-based Spirit of Ethan Allen.

Mike Shea, who owns the 500-passenger cruise ship, says he had one employee working full-time for four months drafting a security plan, then put his entire crew through a training session created with the help of the FBI, Coast Guard, U.S. Border Patrol, Vermont State Police and Burlington Police Department. He estimates that the security plan alone cost him “between $8000 and $10,000,” for which he doesn’t expect to be reimbursed. “It’s one of those unfunded mandates that the government issues,” Shea admits. “But in this case, we’re all Americans and we’re joining in the protective measures that need to be in place in this country, because we all know things have changed.”

Passengers boarding the Spirit of Ethan Allen may also have their bags searched.

Shea emphasizes that it’s not as intrusive as an airport baggage screening — at least, not yet. “They’re not screening, they’re just looking,” he says. “Passengers have a right to refuse, and we have a right to refuse them. It’s right there in the law.”

Whether you call them “searches,” “screenings” or just a quick peek in your handbag or car trunk, civil libertarians are troubled by the public’s growing acceptance of these random searches.

They believe such Homeland Security

SEVEN DAYS measures are leading the nation down a perilous path. Allen Gilbert is executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Vermont. “Why is it legal to search a car or a truck on a ferryboat when, presumably, a similar search a hundred yards before or after the ferryboat on a public highway wouldn’t be legal?” he asks.

“Frankly, I don’t understand it.”

In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that random traffic stops on public highways are constitutional, provided they are minimally intrusive and not based on driver profiles. A common example is a DUI roadblock, in which every driver is pulled over and briefly questioned.

But police officers are not allowed to randomly stop vehicles without probable cause or a search warrant and rummage through your belongings without your consent.

But the courts have yet to rule on this latest legal question: Does your vehicle, which has clearly defined privacy protections, suddenly become cargo when it boards a ferry, making it fair game for more intrusive searches?

Ferries, in particular, present a dizzying array of other legal and security dilemmas. For example, many RV drivers travel with propane tanks and other combustible materials, as do larger commercial vehicles. Yet those explosive materials are still allowed on board the ferries. Also, what happens if a ferry worker discovers firearms or other weapons during a random screening? Under the Second Amendment, Americans have a right to travel with guns, and pre-

measures take effect just as other modes of transportation are responding to government warnings about a possible terrorist attack this summer. During this week’s Democratic National Convention in Boston, police are searching the bags of all passengers on subway trains. Although transit police say they have no plans of asking passengers to produce identification, it’s unclear whether anyone will be denied access for refusing to consent to a search. And, as The New York Times reported last week, passengers boarding the Shore Line East, a Connecticut train line, now turn over their bags to be X-rayed and their tickets to be scanned for explosives residue.

It’s part of a month-long test by the Department of Homeland Security in response to the deadly train bombings in Madrid.

Even civil libertarians don’t dispute that the federal government has an obligation to protect the nation’s transportation infrastructure. There are 361 marine ports in the United States, which handle more than 95 percent of all American imports and exports. According to the Coast Guard, less than 2 percent of the 6 million or so containers that enter the United States each year are inspected, making them “soft” terrorist targets. Ferries in the United States transport 113 million passengers and 32 million vehicles each year, virtually none of which are searched.

But as civil libertarians also argue, the line between vigilance and paranoia has become an evershifting one, and relinquishing our constitutional rights with the

sumably, many hunters will be making the trip between Vermont and New York this fall. Firearmsfree outdoor enthusiasts may carry mace or pepper spray as a defense against bear and other wildlife.

Then there’s the thorny question of what happens if a deck hand discovers illegal contraband, such as fireworks or narcotics. Aside from the legal dilemma of whether the search would hold up in court, it also poses a practical safety concern for crew members, who are neither armed nor trained police officers.

In fact, some of these questions have come up elsewhere. The nation’s largest ferry system operates in Washington State on Puget Sound and surrounding waterways.

With 20 ports and 29 vessels, the state-run ferry system is the thirdlargest in the world, carrying more than 26 million passengers each year. In 2002, state police began conducting random searches of vehicles and passengers boarding those ferries. But the searches led to an outcry from riders, state lawmakers, the media and the ACLU of Washington, and they were discontinued. Today, Washington police are using bomb-sniffing dogs to screen passengers and vehicles for firearms and explosives.

These latest maritime security

tenuous justification that “since 9/11, things have changed” skirts the fundamental issue: Where does it end? Is a ferry any more of a potential terrorist target than, say, a bridge, tunnel, baseball stadium or shopping mall? One could easily argue that a car bomb detonated aboard a ferry would do less damage than one on Church Street in Burlington or outside of Wal-Mart. Yet no one is suggesting that vehicles be stopped and searched as they exit I-89 at Taft Corners in Williston.

Thus far, no one has brought a legal challenge to the Maritime Transportation Security Act. The ACLU of Vermont and others say they are reviewing their options, but point out that it’s unlikely they would file suit against the ferry companies — they’re simply obeying the law and doing their patriotic duty.

But for his part, Cassidy sees dubious value in these hit-or-miss searches, and not just because they’re not looking in every vehicle.

“I see a lot of this as just generating fear among the population, sort of like the old, ‘There are communists hiding in your bathroom,’” he says, “instead of looking at what it is we’re doing to create people who hate us so much.” 쩾

SEVEN DAYS

Batterer Up An inside look at a domestic-offenders program

T

he heavy odor of tobacco smoke follows 10 men walking silently into a small, windowless classroom in the Community Corrections Center in downtown Burlington. It’s a drab, STORY claustrophobic place no larger than a KEN police interrogation room, and no PICARD more cheerful. None of these men is here by choice. All were convicted of IMAGE assaulting a woman, probably a wife STEFAN or girlfriend. Their sentences require BUMBECK that they show up here once a week for the next 27 weeks, homework in hand, and try to unlearn their misogynistic attitudes and violent behavior.

Should any man miss more than three sessions, the Department of Corrections will find him another, more confining, place to rethink his behavior.

I’ve been invited to observe a typical two-hour session of the Domestic Abuse Education Project, a courtordered program run by Spectrum Youth and Family Services of Burlington. DAEP runs seven of these 10man groups a week in Chittenden County alone, with additional groups in Addison and Franklin counties.

And as Vermont’s domestic-abuse

Hollywood casting director, right down to their gravelly voices, missing front teeth and “wife-beater” tank tops. But others are too baby-faced to convincingly fit the part.

Of course, it’s impossible to generalize about what kind of men strike women. There is an overrepresentation of working-class men in these sessions — not because blue-collar males are more likely than others to be abusers, but because of the vagaries of the criminal justice system. Simply put, a wealthier offender can afford private counseling to satisfy the terms of his sentence.

I try keeping my preconceived notions in check, but it’s not easy.

After all, these are the men society has taught me to abhor. In the cultural lexicon of literature, television and film, wife-beaters and child abusers are the archetypal villains — men who come home drunk and surly, fly into a sudden rage if their dinner is cold or beer is warm, then lash out with a swift backhand. I catch myself scanning the men’s hands to see which ones are wearing a ring that

the wheel are the various tactics that abusive men use to control women: intimidation, emotional and economic abuse, coercion and threats, manipulation of children, isolation, and so forth. John scribbles the evening’s discussion topic on a white board: “Using male privilege.”

“We don’t see these men as evil or monsters,” Mary Lynne had explained earlier. But neither does she absolve their behavior as symptoms of a mental illness or some wider societal defect. The excuses that were once accepted for why men get violent with women — “I was drunk,” “My own father beat us,” “She was asking for it” — don’t hold water here. Mary Lynne makes it very clear: There are no victims in this room. The only victims are the women and children these men assaulted. It’s in observance of their identities and safety that the batterers aren’t named in this story.

The program’s co-facilitators are similarly protected.

In fact, DAEP doesn’t offer batterers any confidentiality or the warmand-fuzzy security of, say, a drug

Wife-beaters and child abusers are the archetypal villains — men who come home drunk and surly, fly into a sudden rage if their dinner is cold or beer is warm, then lash out with a swift backhand. experts point out, these batterers are just the tip of the iceberg — the ones who got caught.

As the men take their seats in a semicircle, a few eye me warily. I study their faces and body language for clues to their behavior. They range in age from late teens to mid-fifties.

About half are wearing ball caps and T-shirts. Reflective of Burlington’s demographic, most of the men are white, though several are black or Latino. A few of the batterers look like they could have been chosen by a

would leave behind a bruise.

Mary Lynne and John, the group’s co-facilitators, met me a half-hour before the group arrived to discuss their lesson plan. The class works on a rolling enrollment, which means that new batterers continually join the group as others finish it. To ensure that each man receives all the required instruction, the curriculum covers a rotating list of topics on the “Power and Control Wheel,” a commonly used model for understanding domestic violence. Radiating like spokes on

rehab program. There is such a thing as a “relapse” when it comes to domestic violence. If any man says or does something that suggests he’s hit a woman or child again, that information is passed along to his probation officer or the police. The first rule in this class is that each man must take responsibility for his own actions.

“We don’t believe men pop or snap or lose control,” Mary Lynne explains.

“Violence is a choice, just like nonviolence is a choice. Ultimately, it’s up to them to decide if they’ll be the

men they could be.”

After the homework and weekly $30 dues are collected, each man introduces himself to the group, tells everyone what crime he committed, and whether any children were present at the time. For instance: “My name is Bill, I pulled my wife’s hair and slapped her. Second-degree aggravated assault. No children present.”

Or, “I’m Ted. I violated a restraining order by entering my ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Her son was home.” A new arrival tells the group that he pinned his wife to the floor. Later, I learn that he has been through the program before. Mary Lynne reminds him to use the woman’s names when talking about his crime. It keeps the focus on the victim.

John leads the first half of the discussion by asking the men to describe actions by their partners that will trigger a violent response. The goal, he explained earlier, isn’t just to identify those triggers, but also to examine the men’s language in order to understand their underlying attitudes. Modify those attitudes, he says, and you can modify their behavior. Or so the theory goes.

John has plenty of experience leading these classes — he’s been doing this for five years — but tonight’s discussion progresses slowly. The men’s nonverbal language suggests that most of them aren’t thrilled about “sharing” their emotions. They slouch in their chairs, legs crossed, arms folded defiantly across their chests. Occasionally, a few roll their eyes. One man nods off for a few minutes.

But soon, the men are shouting out words that trigger their violent outbursts, and John jots them on the board. The men accuse their partners of “nagging,” “griping,” “bitching” and “pissing and moaning” to them.

Next, John asks them to list topics their partners complain about. Money tops the list, but there are plenty of other bones of contention, such as who decides what TV program to watch, or who always replaces the toilet-paper roll. One man says that his wife constantly gripes about her chronic medical condition. John prods another man who hasn’t spoken yet to talk about what his girlfriend complains about. “My son,” he says quietly.

SEVEN DAYS

“I’ve got a lot of female friends she bitches about,” says another twentysomething man in a Yankees cap. “What I usually tell her is, ‘Stop fucking with me!’” Mary Lynne points out to the group how easily the words trip off his tongue.

“Tonight’s all about, ‘What can I do differently?’” John says.

Next, he asks the men to list some gentler ways of addressing their partners’ concerns. The men call out things like, “Respect her point of view,” “Be helpful” and “See her concerns as genuine and legitimate.” One older man in the corner chimes in, “Know that she is worthy of my love, respect and attention.” Another suggests, “It’s about owning up, knowing that what you did wasn’t right, but admitting you did it anyways.”

It’s hard to know what to make of the process. On the surface, the men are saying all the right things, but I’m skeptical. As DAEP Program Director Mark Larson explains, most batterers don’t lack social skills — far from it. In fact, most are very adept at manipulating people and situations, including this one. It’s obvious that some of these men

are just parroting the “program speak” they know their facilitators want to hear. Larson, who is also a state legislator, observes, “This is a population that’s very resistant to change. They almost always point the finger at someone else.”

After an hour, the group takes a short break. The men immediately head out of the building for a soda and a smoke. After they leave the room, I ask Mary Lynne, who’s been doing this work for four years, if she’s ever uncomfortable around the batterers. Surprisingly, she says no.

She’s heard them talk about some disturbing behavior without a hint of remorse. But in general, she notes, batterers are not randomly violent people. They have very specific targets for their aggression.

“I know it sounds crazy, but I love this work,” she says. “These are our husbands and brothers and fathers and uncles and neighbors. They’re out there.

They exist.”

After the break, Mary Lynne takes over the discussion.

Ultimately, her goal for the evening is to get the men to find nonviolent ways of expressing

their frustrations to their partners. To do this, she asks two men to role-play a nonviolent situation. “Doug,” a heavyset, twentysomething man, says that he frequently argues with his girlfriend about whose turn it is to pay the rent. Since Doug admits that he doesn’t “allow” his girlfriend to work, it’s usually his responsibility. The two men pull their chairs into the center of the room. Doug’s partner in the skit, “Stu,” is an older man with a beard.

“If you’re really good, I’ll give you an Emmy,” Stu jokes.

“C’mon, let’s be supportive,” warns Mary Lynne.

Doug and Stu improvise their way through a domestic squabble. Stu does his best to reenact the part of the girlfriend in a realistic way, but Doug’s responses are far too polite and reasonable to be realistic, considering his past violent behavior. After the “couple” has reached an amicable solution to their “dispute,” Mary Lynne calls time out.

“So, how’d it feel?” she asks Doug.

“Well, I guess it’s a whole lot better than yelling at her to go pay the fucking rent,” Doug says.

july 28-august 04, 2004

It’s the first authentic sentence he’s uttered the entire time.

“Remember, these are baby steps. You’re not going to be Mother Theresa overnight,” Mary Lynne says. “You’ve practiced this behavior for 20 years.

What we’re asking you to do is something differently. Do you think you can do that?”

Doug pauses for a long time.

“Eventually,” he mutters unconvincingly.

DAEP’s supporters admit that it’s not easy to gauge the program’s success. For one thing, very little research has been done on projects like these, in part because there’s not much money to do it. Not surprisingly, most private donors and foundations aren’t interested in funding research on the habits of wifebeaters. And DAEP has a strict policy that it won’t compete for grant money with women’s groups that combat domestic violence.

Larson can say, however, that the batterers who complete this program have a lower occurrence of repeat offenses, and those who do assault again tend to be less

violent. But measuring other behaviors that may not rise to the criminal offense — coercion, physical or sexual threats, emotional intimidation — is far more difficult, and re-arrest rates are a “soft” indicator of how these men do overall. Needless to say, DAEP gets very little feedback from the batterers’ victims or the batterers themselves once they’ve completed the program. “This is not a population looking to linger once it’s over,” Larson says.

You never know where they’ll turn up, either. Two nights later, I spot a tall, smartly dressed man in his early twenties arguing with his girlfriend on Main Street in downtown Burlington. They’re across the street, but his words are audible for blocks around.

Sensing an imminent assault, I consider dialing 911 but watch closely, hoping the situation will resolve itself peacefully.

“Sit down!” he shouts at her.

“I said, sit the fuck down!” When she doesn’t obey, he raises a fist as if to strike. She flinches and sits down. No fist is thrown, but the violent dynamic is clearly established. Their public display is but a small window on what goes on behind closed doors. m

RICHARD STEGGERDA, JEANNE ROGOW AND KAREN LEFKOE IN DINNER WITH FRIENDS

<THEATER>

W

Mean Cuisine

hen was the last time you heard the word “midlife” without the word “crisis” attached? Put a few fortysomething friends in a dining room, and sooner or later someone will start complaining.

STORY Balancing a career and child-rearing is ERIK so tough! The thrill has gone out of our ESCKILSEN sex life! This risotto is overcooked!

At its lowest point, the midlife crisis Dinner With can be summed up in one devastating Friends, line: “He’s leaving me.” produced by So begins Dinner With Friends, which the Middlebury earned playwright Donald Margulies a Actors Workshop, written by Pulitzer Prize in 2000. The current proDonald Margulies, duction at Town Hall Theater is the directed by Middlebury Actors Workshop’s first fullHarry McEnerny.

Town Hall Theater, length play after four summer seasons of short, predominantly comic works.

Middlebury.

July 23-25, 29-31, Dinner With Friends is also a depar8 p.m. ture for MAW in that it mixes comic elements into a provocative dramatic meditation on not merely the moral implications of marriages and breakups, but on the costs and benefits of staying or straying. Its cast members master the material with often-painful precision.

And, behind the scenes, MAW is a theater troupe for which the play’s themes are potent metaphors.

Dinner With Friends begins in the home of Gabe and Karen, husband-andwife food writers played by Richard Steggerda and Jeanne Rogow. As they host old friend Beth, an artist played by Karen Lefkoe, they natter on about a recent trip to Italy. Beth is clearly not paying attention and, as dessert is about to be served, she breaks down. Her husband, Tom, is having an affair with a stewardess, she tells them. He’s leaving her.

What follows is a series of scenes exploring the relationships that bind the four characters together — as friends, lovers, spouses and… whatever they are now to become to one another.

Each connection is suddenly strained.

Tom, a lawyer played by Mike Kiernan, feels compelled to argue his case before Karen and Gabe, having lost “the advantage” to Beth. Their friends have only heard her side of the story.

The congenial Gabe, though plenty perplexed by his friend’s affair, bristles at his wife’s indifference to Tom’s expla-

nation. A few moments later, Tom chafes at Gabe’s suggestion that he’s making a mistake by ending his marriage. In a later scene, Karen questions the choices Beth has made in her newly single life — unwelcome advice, as it turns out. Two pivotal scenes find Gabe and Karen contemplating where their own steadfastness has led them.

The play’s simple form and spare settings allow MAW director Henry McEnerny to mine the emotional depths of each scene. The easy interplay of friends and spouses engenders a compelling ambiguity about who is better off for the decisions he or she has made. When Tom, for example, describes his sexual relationship with his new lover, envy quickly but undeniably flickers across Gabe’s face. At one point, Karen and Gabe concur that both Tom and Beth look better, and more fit, for having separated.

Personal disclosures also lend scenes dramatic punch, as when Beth reveals to Karen what she’s really thought of her all these years, and when Tom tells Gabe how he really felt those many summer weekends their families spent together. This is a genuinely discomfiting work — but not because of strong language or shocking situations. Rather, the truths revealed moment to moment illuminate what close friends think and feel but rarely say to one another, unless moved by some crisis.

The resulting play is as resonant as it is realistic. “Everybody knows somebody in the play,” says Steggerda after a recent rehearsal. “People are going to identify with each of the characters.”

No doubt the marital discord will resonate with some, marital monotony with others. And certainly many will, as Rogow’s character notes, see their lives in terms of how much has passed and how little remains. “You don’t have this scope of infinite possibility in your middle life,” she says.

The play’s resonance with fortysomethings in particular hits close to home for this troupe. The typical upstart theater company is composed of young actors, fresh out of college or acting school. MAW’s youngest member,

Lefkoe, is 39, and everyone in the troupe has assumed the adult responsibilities that usually extinguish one’s acting dreams. While their professional acting credentials are substantial, these players have other careers now — and mortgages, children and parents in their sunset years. “People just have busy, complicated lives,” Rogow says.

And the hectic pace of middle-aged life presents a specific casting challenge.

“We’re always looking for a few good men,” she says. “It’s harder to find men of a certain age.”

Rogow believes the play relates one’s personal sense of security to the larger state of the world. “I felt like this is the time to do something like this,” she says. “We all get really fragile about our existence…I think all of us are feeling that way as the world is getting more and more precarious. There’s something really scary about needing to sit with

nuanced performance, hitting notes that range from obedient errand-runner to stalwart old chum, to a deeply introspective man grappling with the inevitability of the kind of life he and Karen have settled into. It’s a life they certainly never envisioned for themselves. Rogow is also a strong, confident presence, playing a borderline control freak and zealous foodie but also revealing, in glimmers of wounded self-honesty, that she, too, has doubts about where things stand in her life.

As estranged couple Tom and Beth, Kiernan and Lefkoe do a fine job of dramatizing the characteristics that suggest they probably started out as good candidates for divorce. There is something dull about Kiernan’s Tom — a touch too much of the man’s man.

“Rage can be an amazing aphrodisiac,” he says to Gabe shortly after throwing his weight around in a bedroom con-

The truths revealed moment to moment illuminate what close friends think and feel but rarely say to one another. uncertainty and to be OK with it, and I think these are uncertain times. This play is, I think, a metaphor for that.”

Whatever individual cast members draw on in performing, it’s working.

McEnerny has guided his cast toward a convincing on-stage chemistry.

Steggerda’s Gabe is a dutiful husband and father whose pleasant demeanor juxtaposes well with Rogow’s more assertive Karen. The actors make it easy to imagine their characters as writers and spouses. Indeed, there’s a subtle routine about everything they do together that, over the course of the play, adds up to some poignant conclusions about their marriage — about marriage, period.

Steggerda turns in an especially

frontation with Beth. In the end, Tom’s physicality and conventional male attitudes fail to mesh with Beth’s flightier artist’s temperament. Lefkoe rises admirably to her role’s greatest challenge in conveying the hurt she has experienced at Tom’s hands. Lefkoe admits she had to reach to bring out Beth’s neurotic side. “It’s tough to start a play at such a low point,” she adds.

On opening night, the cast struggled to maintain optimal stage volume, and the Town Hall Theater’s resident bat threatened to upstage everyone during its usual second-act appearance.

Overall, though, MAW and Dinner With Friends proved to be a good match — albeit one that, like any relationship, requires some work. m

‘Ramble’ Rouser Lee Anderson uses his “Bean” to stir up creative community activism

very college town has one — the local bohemian enclave with a flavor all its own and a name that has to be explained to visitors. In the town where I grew up, it was the Runcible Spoon, a café that featured a bathtub full of fish. In STORY MARGOT Burlington, that bastion of funkiness is HARRISON Radio Bean coffeehouse.

Just a block from Church Street at Pearl and North Winooski, Radio Bean IMAGE MATTHEW doesn’t see a lot of tourists, says owner THORSEN Lee Anderson. With its unmatched ceramic hanging lamps, curtains and The Ramble, jungly plants, the place looks like someart, performance, one’s living room. There’s just enough music and film, space for a handful of booths and tables July 31, noon to dusk. Old North to be wedged between the bar and a End, Burlington. barely raised stage. You may look twice Info, 355-6155. at the wine rack over the bar — is it?

Yes, a recycled bed-spring, entwined with crimson fake flowers that hold pinprick lights. The brick walls display

E

unframed canvases, and a lamp with a fringed belle époque shade sits atop the upright piano.

On a recent Monday, the crowd gathered for “no guitar open mike night” ranges in age from 10 to 60, though twenty- and thirtysomethings predominate. Anderson, who lives above the café and is usually on the premises, comes to the stage to introduce the speakers — spoken-word poets, for the most part, though some people want to pound the piano and some just want to shoot the breeze. At one point, a speaker-audience interaction about quantum physics erupts; at another point, the topic is hay.

For anyone else, presiding over this unique cafe culture would be all-consuming. But Anderson, 26, also finds time to be a record producer, magazine publisher, bike-race organizer and

neighborhood art activist. He’s one of the chief organizers behind a block party and “free-for-all” this weekend in the Old North End. “My intention isn’t to be a do-gooder. I’m not trying to change anything,” says Anderson, who has an intense gaze and voluble speech. He makes a good case for the idea that simply encouraging people to “do what they do” — particularly if what they do is creative — is a political act.

Free expression is the theme that ties Anderson’s various projects together. He opened Radio Bean in 2000 with the intention of making it the headquarters for a low-power FM community radio station that would air perspectives from all over Burlington’s political spectrum.

The Federal Communications Commission delayed his license application, leaving the café’s namesake still on the

IN THE NO’ You can ramble through the Old North End any day. But if you show up on July 31 between noon and dusk, you’ll “experience art, performance and music all day long,” says Heather Driscoll. She and Radio Bean owner Lee Anderson are co-organizing the neighborhood’s first “Ramble” — a semi-spontaneous show of local creative industry.

The event’s epicenter is a block party on Rose Street, a collaboration of the Rose Street Artists’ Cooperative and the Burlington Neighborhood Project, where you can find, among other things, drumming, poetry readings, hip-hop classes for kids and a slide show of the area’s history.

Down the street, Burlington College will be offering films, refreshments and a retrospective of the late community-involved artist Michael Tyburski. Forty-odd artists around the neighborhood will be showing their work. While you’re perusing the brushstrokes, you can snack on Ben & Jerry’s, or ethnic food prepared by members of the refugee community. To work it off, join the bike parade from City Hall Park at 4 p.m. — then stop at the Old Spokes Home and get a novelty portrait with your two-wheeled best friend.

At 6 p.m., community members will gather for an informal group photo in the parking lot of 274 North Winooski Avenue.

When night falls, the lot will become a stage for local bands Black Sea Quartet, Middle Eight and Irresistible Predator.

Driscoll, who works for Burlington City Arts and recently bought a house in the Old North End, calls the Ramble a way for residents of the “NO” to “celebrate, meet their neighbors.” But she hopes that “people from other areas will want to come and have a fun day.”

The Ramble will give outsiders a “sneak peek” at plans for the North Street revitalization currently underway. But, more than a showcase of the future, Driscoll and Anderson see the Ramble as the snapshot of a vibrant community that already exists. “It’s just, like, come out and show what you got,” says Anderson. “Take it out and put it in your yard, so people can see what you’re up to.”

Driscoll agrees: “This is a great day to have a yard sale.”

drawing board.

But Radio Bean, which offers live music every night without a cover charge and hosted 748 shows last year alone, has become the social hub for a certain segment of Burlington. David Symons, who plays accordion in Black Sea Quartet, describes Radio Bean as the “biggest influence on the local music scene in the past few years.”

“This place has become nuclear,” agrees Anderson. He offers a demographic explanation for Radio Bean’s appeal: “There’s a ton of people between the ages of 22 and 35 here who don’t have a lot of money. That’s different from a lot of cities, like New York or Seattle or Portland or San Francisco, where people go out to shows and can afford to buy $10 drinks because they have some tech job. Here, the hipster population is poor.”

The upside to the small economy of Vermont, Anderson thinks, is that there’s less pressure to “make it” and less of a stigma on those who don’t.

“There’s the option of just making music or art for the sake of it and not for the money,” he suggests.

Small venues such as Radio Bean, Anderson says, tend to dissolve the distinction between performer and audience — not just because there’s virtually no space cushioning the stage, but because they give struggling musicians a place to start. “My position in the arts community is that I’m the entry-level,” he maintains. “Radio Bean is a place to make that jump from playing in the garage or your living room. It’s where people can hone their skills in front of an audience, and they don’t have to guarantee they can bring 200 people in the door.”

Symons can attest to the fact that Radio Bean is, as Anderson puts it, “a

Com bridge between here and Metronome.” After a series of semimonthly gigs at Radio Bean, his East European folk band moved on to Club Metronome, Red Square and other larger venues. Small as the café is, Symons describes it as a place where the energy can be “like a firecracker in a phone booth.”

Some of that energy is preserved on the compilation of 20 local bands Anderson has put out on his fledgling label, Radio Bean Records. The compilation is named after a multipurpose performance space Anderson runs at 324 North Winooski Avenue: Gezellig — a Dutch adjective that

But, like his journey to Vermont, it was marked by lucky happenstance. Friends volunteered their labor. Anderson got deals on heavy things people wanted to unload — fridges, wooden booths, an espresso machine that had been gathering dust in a Massachusetts deli.

The café ended up being partially financed on credit cards. But today, Anderson says, it supports itself — and him. He funds his other, nonprofit ventures by living simply and keeping his overhead

“My position in the arts community is that I’m the entry-level. Radio Bean is a place to make that jump from playing in the garage or your living room.”

Anderson translates as “the situation that facilitates the best possible vibe being created.” In September, the space will host a weekly teahouse that Anderson hopes to make a gathering place for writers involved in another of his new projects, a “literary zine” called The Old Revolution, edited

by Sara Beck, an English teacher at Rock Point School.

Anderson’s projects have a determinedly local focus; he and Beck don’t plan to circulate his magazine outside of Burlington.

“The intention isn’t to sell products to people outside. It’s to unite a neighborhood, and I hesitate even to say that,” he says, explaining that he’s wary of becoming one of those “cultural creatives” who “come in and try to make places more artsy or desirable. But then it ends up having a countereffect, because they change what they’re trying to celebrate.”

Anderson came to Vermont in 1996 on a serendipitous path.

Originally from a small town in the Midwest, he went to college for a while and then dropped out.

One day he watched a music video for the band Temple of the Dog on MTV and had an epiphany: “It was time to get the hell out of Minnesota.” He called 1800-VERMONT because he knew that, unlike his home state, Vermont wasn’t flat. “I thought, maybe I’ll get a job at a ski resort or something.”

After a few years bartending, taking photographs, and “meandering,” Anderson opened Radio

down. He manages Radio Bean himself and doesn’t pay the bands that appear there. Nonetheless, he’s managed to snare out-of-town acts, such as bluesman Cory Harris and Australian band Sodastream. Revenues from those shows help to finance the nights devoted to local unknowns.

As for the radio station, Anderson says, “I have a pretty good feeling about it,” now that his last competitor for the frequency — the Vermont Agency of Transportation — is out of the running.

Anderson wants the station to be a “wide-open format — not a leftist or a progressive thing, but just a community thing. We want people to feel that this is ours.”

Radio Bean wears its idiosyncracy proudly, but Anderson says the last thing he wants to do is create a clique. Rather, he dreams of getting Burlington’s diversity under one roof — punk bands playing one night and folk bands the next, drag queens debating politicians and professors on the radio, Chomskyites and Bush voters contributing to The Old Revolution.

Symons, who calls Anderson a “selfless impresario,” concedes that his ideal of a truly open venue may be hard to achieve. “Radio Bean is definitely a left-wing crowd. People like to be in a place where they feel comfortable — they usually want to be around people like them.” Still, he sees the café as more than just a hangout for Burlington’s bohemians.

“For social change, you need community, and Radio Bean’s all about that.” 쩾

FLUTIST JENNIFER GRIM

<MUSIC>

Site Reading A Mozart Festival fan gets his first run-through

T STORY

JOEL DANDO IMAGE

ANDY DUBACK

he opening concert of the Vermont Mozart Festival did not play out according to the well-marketed image of picnickers mixing Brahms and Beaujolais on the grounds of Shelburne Farms. On a dark and glowering Sunday afternoon, it was inevitable that the festivities would be moved to the considerably less glam premises of Memorial Auditorium in downtown Burlington.

True, the basketball hoop, in its raised position over the western wall of the gymnasium, is a poor substitute for the sun setting over Lake Champlain. But the musicians were sporting about the venue change and performed beautifully. Soloist Scott Thornburg shone in Haydn’s Concerto in E-flat major for trumpet and orchestra. The Brahms Second Symphony, which claimed the second half of the evening, was played by the largest orchestra the Vermont Mozart Festival has ever assembled.

But the applause for Bizet’s L’Arlesienne, Suite No. 2, after individual movements, was particularly enthuastic. In large part this was a tribute to the supple, suggestive flute playing of Jennifer Grim. Although she was not listed as a soloist on Sunday’s program, her prominent flute introduced and carried several important themes in the piece. At the end of it, the conductor encouraged her to take a bow.

What inspires a beautiful, 31-yearold flutist to leave New York City to spend three weeks swatting mosquitos in the Green Mountains — three years in a row? What makes Mozart-minded musicians agree to bunk together for weeks for the chance to perform at, well, Memorial Auditorium?

Three days after her Bizet performance, Grim answers the door of the St. Michael’s College townhouse she’s sharing with as many as three other musicians during the course of the festival. Today the two-story townhouse is all hers. Friendly but reserved, she has the air of someone who spends a lot of time alone and doesn’t mind it in the least.

Earlier that afternoon Grim had been rehearsing an Elliot Carter sonata with an oboist, cellist and harpsichordist for a concert scheduled for October in Washington, D.C. Her fellow musicians are members of the New York Chamber Soloists, all of whom are also playing in the Vermont Mozart Festival Orchestra.

This is not coincidence. The New York Chamber Soloists, founded by Melvin Kaplan, has from the beginning formed the musical nucleus of the Mozart Festival. Kaplan is also one of the festival founders, its principal oboist and artistic director. He seems to be, too, its chief recruiter. In the world of the Vermont Mozart

Festival, I quickly learn to regard Kaplan as philosophers do Plato: No matter which path you take, you encounter him on his way back.

As it happened, Grim met Kaplan when he was a judge in a chamber music competition she’d entered with other musicians from her program at Yale. They got his attention when they performed a wind quintet without sheet music. “So,” she remembers him asking, “you’re going to play it in concert from memory?”

When Grim graduated and moved to New York, they made contact again. She subbed for a while with Kaplan’s New York Chamber Soloists, then became a resident in the ensemble. The path to Vermont seemed almost preordained.

For Grim, it all started in Berkeley, California. She comes from an artistic family, though not a particularly musical one, she says. Her first instrument was the violin, but she soon grew frustrated with it. “It takes a very long time,” she observes, “before you can get even a decent sound out of a violin.”

Flute was a better fit. Grim entered Stanford with the intention of going pre-med, but then decided to pursue music full-time. But Stanford didn’t have a music performance program, so she took classes in music history and theory, continued her flute les-

sons, performed at every opportunity, and graduated with a B.A. in psychology. As is often the case in Grim’s chosen field, her teacher’s recommendation was instrumental in getting her noticed by a good music school.

Eventually she earned a Master’s and Doctorate in music at Yale.

Over dinner at the Waiting Room in Burlington, I ask Grim the necessary first question: “So, what is it, flutist or flautist?” She answers by quoting no less an authority than Sir James Galway: “I can’t be a flautist, because I don’t play the flaut.” She’s been asked this before.

And what does she think about being the poster girl for the Vermont Mozart Festival? She laughs, not totally unprepared for this question, either. When you access the Vermont Mozart Festival website, a photo of Grim is the first thing you see. Her face is turned away from the camera, and she holds her flute upright against her back, elegantly bare in a black, full-length evening dress. Click on this image, and you’re taken to the main page, where you can see her from the front, playing her flute.

Grim has an appealing face — clear, open and expressive, with large brown eyes. But she doesn’t seem at all vain about her good looks, and takes a pragmatic line about the attention they receive. “Classical

music is struggling right now,” she observes. “Musicians are very aware of the necessity of marketing. We’re musicians, but we’re performers, too. As performers, you can’t afford to pay no attention to the image you project.”

Presenting attractive young faces is especially important in the field of classical music, she agrees, because the audience tends to skew old.

Like any professional musician, Grim spends a substantial amount of each day in practice.

“You have to keep your chops up,” she says. For flutists, this means maintaining the small muscles of the mouth, for good embouchure. She takes days off, and would like to do a little hiking while she’s in Vermont, but shies away from more rigorous sporting activities. Grim is wary of injury. She tells the story of a guitar player she knows who insisted on playing basketball.

His fingers got messed up shortly before a qualifying exam; he failed. In any event, recreation doesn’t appear to be an option

Standard festival practice is to rehearse each concert twice: first on the afternoon before the concert, second on the morning of the performance. This tight schedule takes for granted the talent and professionalism of the musicians. “It’s really a pick-up orchestra,” notes William Metcalf, a founder of the festival and one of its conductors, “in the sense that it doesn’t exist except at the festival.”

A lot of the musicians work freelance in New York, so they’re familiar with such a pace; they’ve got to be quick studies. Adds Eric Kenyon, director of operations for the festival and a regular rehearsal-goer: “With players of this caliber, you assume they’re going to hit the right notes. Rehearsals are for working on transitions, adding polish.”

Fine tuning, so to speak.

Rehearsals are also where musicians work through the scores, and their parts in them.

At the one I attend, the players in the 11-member Festival Wind and Brass Ensemble are arranged

in a semi-circle to encourage interaction. Trumpeter Jim Duncan can’t help noticing the annotations on Thornburg’s score. “Why does your part say ‘IQ’?” he wonders aloud. “It means ‘I cue,’” Thornburg explains. Some of the questions are more widely directed.

“Where’s the pickup?” someone asks the company at large. It seems that rare thing, a committee working towards an interpretation — and reaching it.

Kaplan has special status, of course. When a piece without an oboe part is rehearsed, he withdraws just outside the circle and offers a guiding commentary. Of average height and build, Kaplan is nevertheless a quietly imposing figure. His long face and steel gray hair — frothed with white at the top, the sides, and on his chin — give him the distinguished look of an Old World

professor. His eyes twinkle and his eyebrows crinkle with amusement, but one can easily imagine them coming together sternly.

Now, however, he’s just a fellow artist, sharing the benefit of his practiced judgment and discerning ear. When he says of the flute part, “Jennifer, I hated the breath before the G-sharp,” it is to alert, not rebuke, and is so understood.

Approached at rehearsals, the musicians tend to give the same answers about what draws them to the Vermont Mozart Festival, whether they’ve been coming for 15 years, like French horn player Sharon Moe, or are here for the first time, like violinist Victoria Parker.

Timpanist Rosina Cannizzaro has been with the orchestra for two years running, last year with her Burlington-native husband Nicola, who plays the same instrument as his wife. She articulates the appeal most concisely.

“First of all, playing in the summer is great. But then in such a nice place! And with such fine

This year, the 130 musicians of the Vermont Mozart Festival are playing 22 concerts in 11 locations over three weeks. For them, the one fixed point in the still-moving world may very well be the rehearsal room of ElleyLong Hall, the Vermont Youth Orchestra’s permanent home on the north campus of St. Michael’s College. It is a very appealing space, perhaps a third longer than it is broad, with pale wooden floors, white walls and a raked acoustical ceiling. The musicians arrange their chairs in the center of the room and are bathed in natural light. The big room easily holds dozens of chairs — not to mention a trio of kettle drums and a grand piano — without feeling cramped.

musicians!” Tuba player Scott Mendoker, a first-year resident who teaches at Rutgers, gives an example. “When I heard we were going to play Brahms’ Second Symphony with only 30,” he says, “I thought, ‘This will never work.’ But the level of the musicianship is so high that it sounded great; you don’t even notice.”

I certainly didn’t. But then, for most of us, the experience of the Mozart Festival is limited to enjoying concerts. Given the pleasure that affords, it’s easy to see why we assume everything is happening just for us. But listening to these musicians, observing them at work, I come to realize how fully a festival like this is actually a thing made by, for and of musicians. It’s their world.

Luckily, for three weeks every summer, we get to live in it. 쩾

BEN BERNARD

Tracking Vermont’s mini-motorheads

F

ew things say summer like a day at the racetrack. And this summer, race fans have been gathering nearly every weekend at the oval-shaped Off-Road Speedway behind Empire Hobbies in STORY St. Albans.

CATHY “Racers, are you ready?” asks trackRESMER master and hobby shop owner Scott Lagasse one recent Sunday over the IMAGE track’s PA system. Two monster trucks MATTHEW approach the start line. At the sound of THORSEN a loud electronic beep, they accelerate down the dirt track. Both make the first turn, but the upcoming straightaway includes a jump, and one of the trucks takes a nasty spill. It crashes spectacularly, flipping end over end, its oversize rubber tires bouncing it off the hardpacked earth.

But not to worry — there are no casualties. The truck is less than two feet long and only about a foot high, one-tenth the size of a real monster truck. Its driver, who steers using a remote control, stands on a raised white wooden platform along the opposing straightaway. He waits as one of the “turn marshals” hops the knee-high plywood fence to right the truck, which has landed on its back, wheels spinning, helpless as an upturned beetle.

Today’s races are part of a summer RC (radio controlled) off-road series that Scott Lagasse and his wife Jen started in 1998. They built the 400foot-long track with help from the racers, many of them construction guys and mechanics in their thirties and forties.

A crowd of 70 or so racers, family members and fans spreads out around the speedway to watch the miniature nitro-methane-powered trucks hit speeds of 30-40 miles per hour. The races last five minutes, and can feature as many as 10 tiny trucks at a time, their motors buzzing like a swarm of aggravated mosquitoes.

Forty-seven drivers have signed up for today’s races, which include a variety of preliminary heats and finals for mon-

ster trucks and the smaller, more agile “stadium” trucks. The day’s big winners take home $10 — enough to cover next week’s entry fees — and a small trophy.

But it’s not about the money — amateur RC enthusiasts race for fun. And because it’s a rush.

Though their hobby shop sells RC racing gear, the Lagasses aren’t just in it for the money, either — not that they make much on the races. Scott calls it “a labor of love.” When they started sponsoring the races, Jen and Scott Lagasse competed. “In the beginning we had six racers, and Scott and I were two of them,” says Jen, a gregarious 27year-old. But now that RC racing has become more popular, the couple doesn’t have time to race — they’re too busy running the show.

Jen spends race Sundays answering contestants’ questions and doling out transponders. She assigns each driver one of these devices at the beginning of the race and collects them at the end.

The transponder sends signals to her husband’s laptop, enabling him to record each vehicle’s speed and the number of laps completed.

Scott sits in a trackside wooden booth. The wiry, bespectacled 33-yearold wears denim shorts and a white Star Wars T-shirt. In addition to tallying the results, he’s also the official commentator. “If you find your car isn’t running as it should,” he reminds drivers over the PA, “now is a good time to work on it in your pit area.”

Scott notes that his laptop, protected from dust by a clear plastic bin turned on its side, is a recent investment. The sprinklers, he says, are also new — they pop up between heats from a dirt patch in the center of the track, attempting to tame the dust. But it’s hard to keep the gravel from flying when these miniature trucks hit the soft banks of the curves.

During a preliminary stadium-truck heat, 10 tiny off-roaders whip around the track. When they plow into the turns, they spray dirt at the small

crowd. Several spectators, mindful of the risks of standing too close, park their lawn chairs on top of a grassy ridge nearby.

The drivers, all adult men, stand on the platform, their silver radio antennae jutting out over the track. They look like they might be fishing. Meanwhile, Lagasse provides color commentary.

“Oh! It’s a good battle for first place!” he shouts. “Chic Corriea is in the lead!”

The kids are up next. There are two junior divisions, under 13 and 13-17.

Jen points out Reice Branon, from Georgia, Vermont. “He just turned 6,” she says. “He’s our youngest racer.”

He’s not bad, either. Reice’s little red truck zips in and out of the pack, spins out, and flips over a few times. He finishes the race in third place — out of five racers — having completed 16 laps.

into a jump instead of clearing it — “Ooh, lost a wheel on that one,” Scott comments.

In the end, Chelcy takes the race, completing 27 laps. How’d she do it?

“You just go where the trucks aren’t bumping,” she says, “and try not to crash.”

Greg Branon, father of Reice and Chelcy, is proud of his kids. He doesn’t mind shelling out up to $500 a pop on top-quality racers — his family owns four. The 37-year-old sheet-metal mechanic readily admits he’s addicted to RC racing. He revamped a boat trailer to carry the family trucks, adding a tin roof and sides that fold out to become shelves. He keeps three tackle boxes in the trailer, filled with tiny tools and extra parts, and film canisters holding metal clips and springs.

You just go where the trucks aren’t bumping and try not to crash.

CHELCY BRANON, 11

Adults typically make it around the loop 20 to 30 times in each five-minute race.

Reice’s sister Chelcy has better luck in the next race. Though an 11-yearold, she competes in the older-kid division; her truck has a silver Mini Cooper chassis and is emblazoned with a decal that announces, “Girls rule.”

Chelcy starts off in the lead, but falls back when she smacks into a wall. Still, she stays near the front of the pack, chasing the leader, a boy driving a green and yellow truck. When his truck cartwheels in front of her, Chelcy keeps her cool and speeds past to resume first place. She flies around the track, dodging disabled cars and the turn marshals picking them up. One boy’s truck slams

He competes in his own race after the kids are through. He wins a close heat, completing 30 laps, then walks back to the open-sided lawn tent that shades his trailer from the sun. There he inspects his car for damage, grimacing slightly when his front wheels wobble. “Looks like my front end’s ready to fall apart,” he notes.

Though clearly still pumped from his race — his hands are trembling — Branon doesn’t seem overly competitive.

After a few minutes he puts the car down and rejoins his family. The sun glints off his mirrored glasses. Cottonwood pollen floats on the gentle breeze.

“This is a real nice thing to do on a Sunday,” he says. m

Ain’t no ice on the Olympic Skating Oval for this hot lineup, which also includes such rootsy faves as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Roseanne Cash, Los Lobos, Guy Clark and Patty Larkin. Oh, and the 21st reason to go? For one of those rocky mountain highs.

HOME AT LAST! Finally, the news every music scenester has

:: northern

been waiting for: Higher Ground is going south. To South Burlington, that is. See details in “State of the Arts,” page 11 this issue.

SWEEPING UP Anyone doing the club crawl in Burlington back in the late ’80s/early ’90s surely earned a few hangovers courtesy of Ninja Custodian. With one of the best band names — and wildest drummers — ever seen in these parts, the foursome delivered hard-edged, creatively improvised indie rock to Vermont fans before defecting to California in 1992. The guys all grew up and got jobs and relationships and stuff, but they’re donning the Ninja suits for a reunion gig this Sunday at Nectar’s. Guitarist Brendan Dewitt, who moved back to Burlington with his wife to raise two sons, has a sensible sounding position — database/list administrator — at National Gardening Association. But he’s not too old, at 39, to stop with the bands — his latest is Happytowne. What does he miss about Ninja? “The high-energy rock ’n’ roll.” But of course. Expect to hear cuts from the band’s two releases, Dancing With the Big Guy and Shepherds Pie, in a rollicking retrospective this weekend.

SEVEN DAYS

reviewthis BOBBY GOSH, LIVE (Self-released, CD & DVD) Brookfield musician Bobby Gosh rarely ventures out to do live performances.

That’s because he’s too busy making music. Over the past 35 years, Gosh, a talented composer, has written a few pop hits. The big one for him was “A Little Bit More” for Dr. Hook in the 1970s (as in “When you think I’ve loved you all I can, I will love you a little bit more”). But his bread-and-butter all these years has been jingles and music for commercials. In September 2003, Gosh performed at the Chandler Music Hall in Randolph in a benefit show for the town of Brookfield and now he’s relesed a CD and accompanying DVD of the show. You can hear — and see — Gosh performing for an enthusiastic crowd. One of Gosh’s favorite song subjects is lovemaking; his piano playing and songwriting style echoes Elton John’s first hit, “Your Song.” Gosh sings with feeling and sincere passion, but doesn’t have a voice strong enough to pull it off as a solo performer. Guest appearances by fiddler Harold Luce, long-time friend and Broadway composer Carol Hall and the disembodied voice of Tammy Fletcher (supplied on tape for a “duet” — she was outof-state getting married) add momentary interest, but Gosh’s 1970s-era stage vibes are the center of attention here. Call it time travel with music.

ELISABETH VON TRAPP, POETIC LICENSE (Self-released, CD) The surname von Trapp probably comes with some perks. On the other hand, think of the pressure: Elisabeth von Trapp has to live up to not just her immortalized singing ancestors but…

Julie Andrews! Illogical, but there it is. Happily, this generation’s musical von Trapp carries her baggage gracefully, and if her voice initially recalls that of the famous British soprano, the impression soon glides into wonderment at von Trapp’s own clear and elegant tones. And with her latest self-produced CD, the aptly named Poetic License, the 49-year-old Stowe native secures her reputation as a composer as well as singer.

The disc’s title is a double entendre with significant import: Von Trapp managed to win the permission of Robert Frost’s publisher, Henry Holt, to set three of his poems to music. Not only is this a rare privilege, it was considered sacrilege to many fans and scholars — as well as Frost’s granddaughter. Many of them surely would be mollified upon listening to Poetic License, which actually employs five Frost poems — two were already in the public domain. Von Trapp’s melodies are simply gorgeous, and only an unyielding poetry purist would not find them compatible with the written words.

From start to finish, this collection is a thing of beauty; adjectives that come to mind along the way include lovely, lush, gentle, soothing, haunting, celestial. Von Trapp gives Frost’s “Acquainted With the Night” a suitably still-of-the-night calm, enhanced ever so subtly by Chas Eller’s keyboards. His piano work on “The Impulse,” along with a brief clarinet interlude by Steve Klimowski, lend the song both sensuality and sadness.

Two of Frost’s best-known works get livelier treatment. “Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening” revs up a bit with bass (John Rivers), piano, and guitar (Paul Asbell), straddling art song and jazz. “The Road Not Taken” channels the spirit of Django Reinhart with a jaunty, swingy tune lightly impelled by Tony Markellis on bass and Steve Wienert on drums.

Von Trapp includes two instrumental originals here: “Sugarhill” features Mark Struhsaker’s impeccable flat-picking; cellist Erich Kory enriches the enchanting melancholy of “Amherst.” Kory and von Trapp also pair up on a stunning version of Procol Harem’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” The remaining non-Frost songs here borrow from such writers as Shakespeare, Sting and the 17th-century Japanese poet Basho. It’s an eclectic combination that somehow works, silkily woven together by von Trapp’s voice.

Another of this woman’s talents is choosing excellent album mates. All the musicians here are extraordinary, as are the engineering (Lane Gibson and Eller) and production (Eller and von Trapp). The sound throughout is rich and intimate; the spare, highly arranged instrumentation exquisite. You can easily imagine this crew on stage at Carnegie Hall, and if there is any poetic justice, they will be.

he Helen Day Art Center in Stowe continues to assert cultural hegemony this summer with “Vermont Selections,” a well-juried exhibition including works in all media by 32 Vermont artists. Lynn Rupe’s show in an adjacent gallery and the “Exposed!” outdoor sculpture exhibition on the surrounding grounds confirms the HDAC is currently Vermont’s most dynamic visual-arts destination.

The Stowe gallery is colonizing, too. Many of the same artists at the Helen Day are featured in “Vermont Selections 2: A Satellite Exhibition” at the McCarthy Arts Center Gallery at St. Michael’s College.

The Colchester site has a lot to live up to. Back in Stowe, the outdoor works of “Exposed!” contrast delightfully with the indoor sculptures of “Vermont Selections.” “Jetsam” by Kim Kulow-Jones is a group of five wooden objects on a pedestal. They resemble organic shapes such as melons and seeds. Natural wood grain or simple stains provide surface decorations.

“Pods and Stalks” by Molly Doohan incorporates another, more delicate group of natural forms. Like dried plants found in a field, Doohan’s sculpture consists of wire-thin stalks with small spherical pods at their ends.

The stalks are seamlessly affixed to a hardwood base.

Gordon Menard’s wall piece “Electric Kimberly” is an assemblage in the tradition of German expressionist Kurt Schwitters. Menard built his image with

paint as well as wood, wire and text. It’s a relatively small piece, constructed on a 12-inch square, but lines project beyond its edges. The composition is enlivened with slanted axes and contrasting circles and rectangles as well as hard- and softedged forms.

In the landscape-painting department, Annemarie Curlin’s “Downtown” is a cityscape with a difference. Her multifaceted portrait of a Vermont village consists of a few landscape details — images from an aerial photograph and subjective abstraction based on the textures of a summer field. “August Rain Woodstock” by Richard Gombar

larger scene — the “men” part. This three-paneled street scene is rendered in two-point perspective. Lindner’s colors are fiery, with orange, blue and rose in the sky.

Molly Roland’s “Matt” is a more traditional portrait of a man: A T-shirted fellow sits at a table with a bottle of beer. The content of the image is unremarkable, but it’s beautifully painted.

You want this exhibit to keep going, and it does — in Colchester.

But the extended version — “Vermont Selections 2” — is not as strong a show as the one in Stowe. The small gallery is dominated by Joshua

You want this exhibit to keep going, and it does — in Colchester. is a more traditional rural scene; his finely painted red barn practically glows in the gray light of rain clouds.

The figurative paintings may be the strongest in “Vermont Selections.”

Sally Lindner’s “Boys to Men” is an outstanding painting of boys in a South African village, milling around in front of a tin-roofed shack and other dwellings. Burlington artist Lindner is a world traveler who clearly paints from direct experience. Her complex and assured brushwork suggests she’s a brilliant technician. The “boys” part of the piece only constitutes two panels of the painting. Like an altarpiece, these open to reveal a

Reiman’s visually boisterous, large-scale color photographs.

Four pieces from Reiman’s George Washington series fill one wall of the room. “Washington: I Cannot Tell a Lie” is a sneering, college-age kid dressed in a wig and tailor-made basketball uniform sporting cherries. “Washington: Crossing the Delaware” depicts a team of three punks in the back of a limousine. Is the work supposed to be pointed social commentary? If so, it fails.

Sophomoric humor is more like it.

But one bad apple doesn’t spoil the barrel, and overall, “Vermont Selections” is a genuine achievement for the Helen Day Art Center.

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

The Bourne Supremacy ★★★★

L BOURNE TO RUN Damon stays a step ahead of his pursuers in this high-octane sequel.

et’s make one thing crystal-clear right up front: Those stars are for stylish, full-throttle, nobody’s-pretending-thisis-art summer movie fun. The Bourne franchise is evolving into a moodier, grittier alternative to the smirky Bond series. If we’re lucky, one of these days Jason Bourne and James Bond may even meet in one of those Freddy-versusJason-style face-offs. My bet is, the amnesiac CIA assassin would have his froufrou Brit counterpart saying “Never again” in no time.

But I digress. Matt Damon picks up where he left off at the end of the first film. Though still haunted by nightmares filled with ominous fragments of memory, he and Franka Potente have run off and found happiness laying low in an ocean-side paradise somewhere in southern India.

Their life together is so idyllic you just know it can’t continue more than 10 or 15 minutes beyond the opening credits. Sure enough, the American spots a suspiciouslooking Westerner during a routine trip to town one day and, faster than you can say “shadowy Soviet operative,” the stranger is speeding after the couple in his rented car, blasting away at them with his high-powered rifle, and generally ensuring that Bourne will pay him a visit in the film’s final act.

Meanwhile, 4000 miles away in Berlin, another shadowy individual is planting Bourne’s fingerprints at a murder scene. When a CIA agent is killed just as he’s about to nab a high-level crime figure and take possession of a sought-after file concerning the assassination of a Russian politician, Bourne is blamed. Once again he shoots to the top of Langley’s must-kill list.

Joan Allen brings gravity and a piercing intelligence to the role of the agent in charge of finding him. Brian Cox gives a delicious performance as her boss, a high-ranking official with a hint of duplicity about him.

By the time Bourne learns they’re after him, he’s in a pretty testy mood. Between watching his sweetie get shot through the head and being framed for the Berlin hit, he’s had about all he can take for one sequel and goes into his trademark super-assassin mode.

What follows is a series of cool, smartly choreographed sequences in which the rogue agent turns the tables on his pursuers. It’s great fun to watch as Allen deploys millions of dollars’ worth of surveillance technology and an army of undercover agents, only to find that her quarry, time and again, hasn’t just slipped through her fingers but managed to draw uncomfortably close. “What’s the security situation,” she asks an assistant at one point, “I mean in our building?”

The Bourne Supremacy is based on a Robert Ludlum novel and directed by Paul Greengrass in a stripped-down, no-nonsense-style reminiscent of classic spy thrillers such as The Day of the Jackal and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Long, dialogue-free stretches are interrupted by sudden bursts of violence, and the mayhem is rendered with realism.

As thrill machines go, the movie leaves little cause for complaint. One or two sequences rely a tad too heavily on coincidence, and I could’ve lived without the obligatory car chase. Directors of films like this almost never resist the temptation to try topping the legendary chases in The French Connection and Bullitt, and Greengrass sacrifices a sizable chunk of his budget, a great many automobiles and too much of his movie’s running time in his attempt.

Guys, let it go, already.

Overall, though, the picture fires on all pistons. The globetrotting’s a good time. I can’t think of another spy film that’s featured as delightful an assortment of seamy international undersides. The cat-and-mouse stuff is strictly edge-of-your-seat, and Damon is first-rate. The real secret to the success of these films lies in the character’s jarring combination of boyish charm and lethal ninja instincts. When Bourne explodes into action, the juxtaposition rarely fails to mesmerize.

A nifty bonus feature is the timely caution the story offers our government’s covert branches: Be careful to whom you teach the art of murder. Noriega, Saddam, bin Laden or Bourne — it can come back to bite you in ways you never quite see coming.m

BEFORE SUNSET Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke re-team for Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise follow-up in which the characters bump into one another again nine years later in Paris and reconsider the possibilities for romance. (R) HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE From writer-director Danny (Dude, Where’s My Car?) Leiner comes this road-trip comedy in which a search for fast food turns into a wild, all-night adventure. Starring John Cho, Kal Penn and Neil Patrick Harris. (R) THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE What’s next — Citizen Kane remade by Renny Harlin? Jonathan Demme updates John Frankenheimer’s 1962 movie mind game about a vet who’s used as a pawn in a political scheme. Denzel Washington and Liev Schreiber stand in for Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey. Sure, this sounds like it should work. (R) THUNDERBIRDS Based on the hit ’60s British show about a family of puppets that battles evil with the help of a fleet of highly advanced rescue vehicles, this live-action adaptation features Bill Paxton and Anthony Edwards, with Ben Kingsley as master criminal The Hood. Jonathan Frakes directs. (PG) THE VILLAGE Joaquin Phoenix, William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver star in the new spookathon from M. Night Shyamalan, the saga of an isolated 19th-century community whose citizens wind up wishing they were even more isolated when they find out what’s living next door in the woods.

With Adrien Brody and Bryce Dallas Howard. (PG-13)

SHORTS ANCHORMAN★★★1/2 Will Ferrell cowrote and stars in this comedy about a ’70s TV newsman and his rivalry with a female journalist who challenges him for the top spot at their San Diego station. With Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd. Directed by first-timer Adam McKay.

DE-LOVELY

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

De-Disappointing

Although Cole Porter’s story should be dynamic and elegant, De-Lovely is mostly neither.

Ronstadt’s good taste in music, from whatever era, ought to be celebrated by savvy people on the right and the left. De-Lovely, a substantially fictionalized Porter biopic now playing at the Roxy in Burlington, is a bit of a mess, but his tunes are still brilliant.

For four decades, Porter tempered the de rigueur sentimentality of his day with a deliciously subversive wit.

Unfortunately the 125-minute film, directed by Irwin Winkler, doesn’t always use Porter’s songs to their best advantage. That’s due primarily

to the confusing and oddly structured screenplay by Jay Cocks, which starts off in 1964. Looking weary at 73, Porter (Kevin Kline) is tapping out a melancholy “In the Still of the Night” on his piano when he’s visited by Gabe, played by Jonathan Pryce.

With a framing device like that of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Porter embarks on a dramatized tour of his life with Gabe — symbolizing death — as guide. In this case, personal history begins unfolding as a Broadway musical when friends, lovers and colleagues tap-dance into an otherwise empty theater.

Many of them are long gone, but reappear as youngsters hoofing in an energetic chorus line. They belt out “Anything Goes,” a frothy melody with a message that hints at the duality of Porter’s existence. He was gay, or at least bisexual, at a time when such things were forbidden.

The chronological story is revealed scene by scene, although the elderly Porter often expresses his reluctance about the version that Gabe wants him to witness. The action soon switches to a swank 1920s Paris apartment full of well-appointed guests, who join the bon vivant composer in an over-choreographed rendition of “What a Swell Party This Is.” A beautiful divorcée named Linda (Ashley Judd) catches Cole’s wandering eye. She finds his marginal interest in

women refreshing after her abusive first marriage. In lieu of lust, her romance with Porter is built on emotional, intellectual and creative compatibility.

At an outdoor café, Porter tickles the ivories to woo Linda with “Easy to Love” and a Frenchman in a beret accompanies him on the accordion. Is it schmaltz? Yes, but few actors can go mushy with the aplomb of Kevin Kline.

Porter’s dark secrets initially don’t faze Linda. “You have a dazzling gift and a life to go with it,” she suggests.

“What can you possibly be afraid of?”

“Myself,” he replies, and with good reason.

The already successful Irving Berlin pulls strings to get Porter a gig on the Great White Way, but the songwriter is reluctant to leave Europe and his dalliance with a handsome Russian ballet dancer.

“I wanted every kind of love that was available,” Porter says in voiceover narration. The kind of love that Linda makes available — intimacy — proves more important than the closeted affair, so off they go to America in 1934. But not before we see Elvis Costello as a crooner entertaining with Porter’s naughty-but-nice “Let’s Misbehave.”

In New York City, Porter produces the music for a string of hit plays, one of them starring an actress-singer portrayed by Alanis Morissette. But his newfound celebrity only increases the opportunities for cheating on Linda.

He pals around with character actor Monty Wolley (Allan Corduner), who procures new same-sex heartthrobs for Porter’s assignations in the shadows of Central Park.

Linda eventually persuades him to relocate to California in hopes the movie world will somehow tame his extracurricular urges. In Hollywood, Porter compromises on his lyrics to please MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer, but pursues an even more openly gay lifestyle. One of his non-cinematic compositions, the risqué “Experiment,” proclaims this freedom of choice.

Although Cole Porter’s story should be dynamic and elegant, DeLovely is mostly neither. Every time the ensemble launches into a big production number, à la Chicago, it seems de-ridiculous. Contemporary artists in retro nightclub settings fare somewhat better, except for a misfire by the otherwise talented Diana Krall.

Maybe a Ronstadt cameo would have saved the day.

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.

“BON appetite!” said the waitress serving hog’s head.

A very big rabbit might be called a “HARE apparent.”

Time may HEAL all wounds, but it sure can take its time.

Scotty’s most annoying phrase was “AYE, Captain.”

HANS Christian Andersen is the Brothers Grimm lite.

Car cell phones should only be used to call a TOW truck.

Folks throw up MUSSELS more than oysters or clams.

Delivering a pizza to Saturn would be quite a FEAT. Who KNOWS when the Day of the Wormhole will arrive?

Everyone who looks in a mirror is a little bit VAIN.

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com), or write me at Seven Days. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS PRIAPUS. 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.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: You’ll find them all in the mirror.

hen some Las Vegas high rollers booed Linda Ronstadt recently, news reports suggested it was because of her onstage praise for Fahrenheit 9/11. But apparently the audience was also peeved that she had been singing classics by George Gershwin and Cole Porter in what the casino billed as a show of her “greatest hits.”

CONTOIS AUDITORIUM, BURLINGTON CITY HALL, JULY 22, 7:30 P.M.

A dancer with mysterious symbols painted on her body stood on the sidewalk and twirled fire chains with dizzying intricacy. “What’s going on in there?” asked a passerby, squinting. This doesn’t happen every day in Burlington, not even in front of City Hall.

The exotic dancing was a prelude to Firefly Production’s current production of Between the Quiet Poles by Cambridge, Vermont, playwright Keefe Healy.

Inside, an audience gathered beneath the ornate ceiling of Contois Auditorium and was about to experience something, well, different. Director Suzanne Mackay — along with a fine cast of actors and a heavily utilized sound designer — had prepared a compelling piece of theater with an undeniably sinister feel.

The title of the play alludes to a line from Christopher Marlowe’s Elizabethan drama Doctor Faustus. In Marlowe’s story, the scholar Faustus becomes dissatisfied with ordinary forms of knowledge and turns to black magic. He finds the devil Mephastophilis only too willing to help. “All things that move between the quiet poles,” Faustus says, anticipating his impending power, “shall be at my command.” Of course, Faustus pays the going rate for such a bargain: his soul.

Healy’s version borrowed freely from Marlowe’s; it even used voiceovers of Marlowe’s lines during scene shifts. But Between the Quiet Poles was more than just the retelling of an old tale. It strikes a contemporary note by replacing black magic with modern medicine. On the stage, a demonic doctor tweaked his patients’ brains to give them super-human sensations and a sort of psychic influence over others. The timeless motive of control was expressed through numbing mass entertainment. It also contained a dose of those tried-and-true elements sex and violence — tastefully and sometimes tantalizingly implied.

Between the Quiet Poles travels to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. It’ll be Firefly Productions’ ninth year at the Fringe, an annual international smorgasbord of often-edgy theater exploits. With this gritty and fearless show, the cast and crew should feel right at home.

dance ‘SALSALINA’ PRACTICE: Work on your sensuous nightclub routines at this weekly Latin dance session. Salsalina Studio, Burlington, nonmembers, 6 p.m., members, 7 p.m. $5-10. Info, 899-3129.

body EXPERIENTIAL ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: Wednesdays, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. September 15 through December 22. Taught by Mindy Cohen at The Body Center in Burlington. For more information call 8659500, ext. 3. In this class, we will be studying basic concepts in human anatomy and physiology through cognitive and experiential lessons involving movement, touch, breath and sound. We will examine systems of the body, including structure and function and how they relate to the whole body. We will discuss evolutionary ideas, developmental patterns and applications to health and disease.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am a single guy who’s interested in meeting women to date and possibly more. A friend of mine recently offered to set me up with “Candy,” a woman he knew. We arranged for the three of us to meet at a local bar. My friend explicitly told Candy that this was a set-up with potential romantic implications, and Candy assured him that she was interested. I’d heard a lot of great things about this lady and, on the night in question, I was pretty pumped up. Imagine my disappointment and embarrassment then, when Candy appeared at the bar with another man on her arm. After introducing him as her “boyfriend,” she proceeded to pretty much ignore me for the rest of the evening — such as it was. I cut out of there pretty fast. Am I off base on this, or did she behave like a cad?

Jerked Off in Jericho Dear Jerked, You’re being kinder to her than I would have been. If she changed her mind about the blind date, she should have canceled. There is nothing sweet or classy about this Candy. You’re better off without her.

Love, Lola

free will astrology RE AL ARIES

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Since 1977, 40 percent of U.S. elementary schools have done away with recess.

Meanwhile, among adults at work, the time allotted to lunch is steadily shrinking. Executives spend an average of just 42 minutes with their midday meals.

This dangerous trend hits you Tauruses the hardest: You need spaciousness. You shouldn’t and can’t be rushed to do anything. That’s why I’m calling on all Bulls to launch a Mass Slowdown in the coming week. Take all the time you need to do whatever has to be done, whether it’s enjoying your sandwich or preparing an important report. From an astrological perspective, it’s a pivotal moment for you to be faithful to your own internal rhythms. If anyone complains, tell them your astrologer made you do it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I suggest that you encourage your right hand to get into a wrestling match with your left hand. Let them go at it for as long as it takes for one to emerge victo-

JULY 29-AUGUST 4

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Two years ago a diminishing marriage rate and an increase in divorces began to worry Malaysian officials. The family development minister issued a plea for spouses to be more aggressive about calling each other “darling,” “sweetie” and other affectionate names. As you slip into the Amorous Season, Aries, I’m going to ask you to do that, plus more. Supercharge your entire approach to speaking the language of love. Be aware of how powerful your words can be in stirring the emotions of people you care about. Use your voice to experiment with romantic potentials and bring more truth and beauty into your intimate moments.

rious. They desperately need to engage in a vigorous dialogue, and the best way for that to happen is in the heat of battle. It’s true that while their struggle rages, you may be too preoccupied to worry about the 1001 questions that are begging for your attention. But I’m betting that many of those questions will be resolved or rendered irrelevant as your right hand and left hand get to know each other better.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Warning! Too-much-of-a-good-thing alert! Take a few deep breaths and consider the possibility that sweet satisfaction may be on the verge of mutating into overripe excess. Examine your life to see whether well-crafted luxury is in danger of becoming grandiose exorbitance or whether your fair share is close to becoming too hot to handle. I’m not saying any of these developments have occurred yet; just that they might unless you take action immediately. As a Cancerian myself, I know how we Crabs sometimes indulge in the fantasy that hoarding stuff protects us from the world’s unpredictability. Though it can on occasion, this is not one of those times.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): From an astrological perspective, it’s a perfect time to order a custom-made action figure that looks and talks like you. You’d really benefit from having a miniature version of yourself to play with. You could dress it in superhero costumes, fantasize scenarios in which it pulls off epic feats, and use it to help you escape the imaginary constraints that have been inhibiting you lately. But getting a doll of yourself is expensive, and there are other ways that would probably work

just as well to free up your bold, adventurous spirit. Maybe you could write a short story starring you as a daredevil or pioneer. Or how about embarking on a series of strenuous physical activities that will awaken your dormant reserves of willpower? If nothing else, create a sock puppet of yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I met a man who told me he trademarked the term “couch potato” more than two decades ago. He said that in the early years, he made decent money from people who compensated him for the right to use his intellectual property. Eventually, though, he had to hire lawyers to take legal action against those who wanted to avoid payment. In time, his attorney fees outstripped the amount he was able to collect from violators of his trademark, and he gave up the effort. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Virgos are facing or will soon face a comparable situation: A certain advantage you’ve had may no longer be an advantage; an asset or strength could begin to require so much upkeep that it may no longer be an asset or strength.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ve been blessed and cursed with arduous lessons these past months, Libra. They have compelled you to navigate your way through the most challenging archetypes of all: death and rebirth. Before these trials, you may have considered yourself smart and capable but wondered how strong you were.

Now there is no doubt: You’re more courageous than you ever imagined. But don’t stop pushing yourself to the limit yet. Your hero’s journey still has a few weeks to go. Keep doing what you’ve

been doing, only more so.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Disabuse yourself of the notion that greatness is somehow inextricably linked with fame, power, wealth or social stature,” writes one of my readers, Pyrrol Red. “Some of the greatest human beings have been mostly unknown.”

This is an important point to keep in mind, Scorpio, as you seek to ascend higher. The essence of your beauty may never be fully appreciated by more than a few people; the gifts you have to offer are so subtle and complex that you might find it hard to encapsulate them in simple forms that gain wide popularity. I’m not saying you’ll never be famous, powerful, wealthy or high-status. But even if you do win those perks, it will be because of decisions you make and actions you take that are free of all lust for them.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22Dec. 21): “The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens,” wrote Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet. That’s a good description of what will be happening inside you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But keep in mind that this lovely invasion may not be accompanied by fireworks and thrilling music. It might unfold in a series of what Rilke called “seemingly uneventful and motionless moments.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Anthropologists say that in every culture in history, children have played the game of hide-and-seek. I’ve observed that most adults still engage in sublimated or disguised versions of the game. They may

withdraw emotionally and expect their friends and loved ones to telepathically figure out what’s going on with them. Or they may play hard to get, forcing their lovers or spouses to come find them in their secret hiding places. Judging from the current astrological omens, Capricorn, I suspect you will soon be embroiled in a hide-and-seek ritual. You might as well try to have fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My hypnotherapist friend has noticed a common theme running through the lives of many of her clients: They take their blessings for granted and underestimate the power their blessings afford them. One client, for instance, seems to assume that everyone in the world is as perceptive and sensitive as she is. As a result, she doesn’t completely appreciate how valuable these skills are, and she doesn’t fully take advantage of the tremendous influence they could help her wield. You suffer from a similar blindness about your own gifts, Aquarius. Luckily, this is the perfect time to change that.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The Bureau of Justice says that crime in America is at its lowest level since it was first tracked in 1973. Canada’s crime rate has also been declining for years. So why is everyone walking around scared all the time? In its “Personal Security Index” report, the Canadian Council on Social Development said, “The fear of crime is disproportionate to the true risk of being victimized, and that fear can be a negative factor in people’s lives, often unnecessarily restricting their social activities.” I bring this up, Pisces, because it’s a perfect moment for you to dramatically reduce your levels of dread and anxiety. m
