“I LIVE MY LIFE PAIN FREE.” “Before Rolfing, I used a bottle of Advil a month. I haven’t taken any now for a year.”

Recently, the Vermont Senate passed a bill (S. 80) to increase the minimum wage based on an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). While a COLA is an important step to insure that Vermont’s lowest-paid workers no longer fall behind due to inflation, Vermonters need a better raise. If the Vermont minimum wage had kept pace with inflation since 1969, it would be $8/hour today.

At a fall public forum, Governor Douglas repeated his support of an annual COLA to the minimum wage as part of his 2003 Jobs Plan and said all workers should receive a “respectable pay rate.” Oddly enough, during the Senate debate the Douglas Administration supported a weaker two-year COLA. The 2005 livable wage, as calculated by the Vermont Joint Fiscal Office, is $12.37/hour. As a result, many Vermonters face a significant wage gap and must work two or three jobs, rely on public assistance, or go without basic needs such as health care.

Contrary to popular belief, over 60 percent of workers making below $8/hour are over 30 years old. Critics claim an increase will cause businesses to cut jobs. In 1999, a Vermont legislative study found an increase of $1.25 per hour in 2000 would not negatively impact the Vermont econ-

H. 266 will propose a twostep increase to $8/hour over two years and then attach a COLA. The Vermont Legislature has a chance to improve the lives of over 20,000 Vermonters who currently make below $8/hour. A “respectable pay rate” is a stronger minimum wage.

Outright Vermont float would not have been possible. We have always enjoyed entering a float in the parade, and had not experienced any problems until this year.

Outright Vermont is usually one of a handful of youth floats, and often the only openly gaythemed float. This year we were dismayed to discover that some in the crowd didn’t think we all deserve to celebrate Mardi Gras together. This year the young people on our float were taunted by homophobic jeers as we rumbled up Church Street. The

taunts and jesters were easily lost among the thousands of supporters who drowned them out, but the beads being thrown back at our float were harder to ignore.

Far be it from us to declare the acts of a few to be the thoughts of many. But these acts of homophobia are yet another example of why the work of Outright Vermont is so important in our state. These acts are symptomatic of the climate that all our young people are growing up in. The reality is that many areas in Vermont, even Burlington, are not safe places

for all to celebrate who we are.

We continue to advocate and support LGBTQ around the state, and encourage community members all over Vermont to continue to speak truth and love to the acts of hate in our communities.

BAR TALK

Thank you for your front-page piece “Razing the Bars” [March 9]. You did an excellent job reporting on an issue that needs discussing. I hope this type of story will effect positive change in our community. Please continue to give coverage to this story and others like it in the future.

Some of us are old enough to remember when, 30-plus years ago, the snowmobile culture was just revving up. There were lots of reported abuses associated with the sport. The end result was that responsible operators who wanted to enjoy their sport got organized. They worked with state and local officials and property owners to meet their goals.

They established clubs, developed training and operating stan-

dards, and in the long run changed the image of the sport.

As a result, they police themselves and get to enjoy their passion free from heavy-handed oversight. The ATV culture is going through the same cycle.

The long-term fix for the local bars is the same. It is already working a little, as evidenced by [Deputy Police] Chief Walt Decker’s comments. There has been a “steady decline in reported disturbances,” and bar owners are “taking ownership” of their patrons. The Hospitality Resource Panel is the best mechanism in sight that can be used to ameliorate this issue . . . Good peer support and accountability will enable all good operators to be successful and enjoy the fruits of their labors. Working with police and city government, rather than railing against them, will create a happier future for all.

CORRECTION: Last week’s report on the March 5 Translating Identity Conference at the University of Vermont stated that none of the trustees had attended. Tom Little, who chairs UVM’s Board of Trustees’ Diversity Committee, did in fact attend part of the conference; he says he learned a lot there, and that his committee is investigating adding gender identity and expression to the school’s anti-discrimination policy. We’re sorry for the error and are glad to set the record straight.

Burlington’s Next Mayor Clavelle’s gubernatorial thrashing was followed by two more big defeats in March.

His enthusiastic support may even have hurt, rather than helped, the proposal to move the Burlington YMCA into the old Moran power plant on the waterfront. The proposal was overwhelmingly defeated. And most voters also ignored Clavelle’s pleas for a local sales tax to relieve the property-tax pressure on homeowners.

One could argue Mayor Moonie not only lacks coattails, he lacks a coat, too.

That was evident when we asked Rep. Tracy if his mayoral candidacy might be put on hold should fellow Democrat Clavelle return refreshed and eager for an eighth term.

“I’m sure Peter will make whatever decision Peter makes. But if Moonie runs,” he added, “it might come down to a Democratic caucus.”

Mayoral candidate Tracy said he hopes to have a little chat with the current mayor once Clavelle gets back to town and has some time to consider his future plans.

As for a Progressive Party mayoral candidate appearing on the ballot in 2006, both Councilor Phil Fiermonte and CEDO Director Michael Monte indicated they are not interested. Councilor Jane Knodell, the Prog with the Ph.D., did not return our call.

As for the prospects of Clavelle calling it quits after this term, Rookie Prog Councilor Tim Ashe noted, “He’s come back from defeat before. I wouldn’t write his obituary just yet.”

But should Clavelle pull the plug, as many expect he will, Ashe assured us the Progressive Party will have a candidate for mayor. Plenty of time to decide, eh?

Snelling’s Warpath — There was fire in the blazing blue eyes of State Sen. Diane Snelling (R-Chittenden) Monday morning as she told yours truly about her determination to get Vermont to do the right thing regarding the state’s original residents — the Abenakis.

“As Vermonters,” said Princess Di, “we’re proud of ourselves for moving forward on so many things, yet we’re afraid to talk about the Abenakis.”

Snelling said opponents, including the attorney general’s office, employ scare tactics by claiming state recognition of the first Vermonters will lead to federal tribal recognition that will lead to casinos and land claims.

It’s similar, she said, to the tactics of civilunions opponents who spread fear over what civil unions “might” lead to.

“All I’m trying to say,” said Snelling, “is there’s a real moral issue in my mind. This is a recognized minority in the state of INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

lections are a year away, but Seven Days has learned there are now at least two declared candidates in the March 2006 race for mayor of Vermont’s largest city.

In fact, the first declaration of candidacy came on election night one year ago, when Republican Councilor Kevin Curley told a Ch. 17 TV audience he was running.

“We really need some new leadership,” said a pumped-up Curley, “meaning, I heed the people’s call to action and will be seeking the Republican nomination for mayor in two years.”

Until the recent election, Curley was the only Republican out of 14 councilors. But State Rep. Kurt Wright, a former councilor, just won back his Ward 4 seat.

Wright told Seven Days this week, “I have no plans to run for mayor at this time.” He added that one should “never say never” in politics. Wright said he’s “leaving the door ajar.”

Oh, boy, a Republican primary?

But the bigger news this week is that popular Democratic State Rep. John Tracy has finally made it official, telling yours truly, “I intend to be running for mayor in March of 2006.”

Tracy, as everybody knows, is currently in the spotlight as the chairman of the special House committee charged with reforming our health-care system.

He insisted his “biggest priority” at the moment is not the mayor’s race but rather, “what’s right in front of me — reforming health care.” The 53-year-old legislator from the Old North End said he would not have taken on the task of chairing the health-care committee “if I couldn’t bring it through.”

Since the campaign for mayor will begin in December, we questioned Tracy’s ability to juggle both roles.

He indicated his House committee will likely continue working after the legislature goes home and should have a plan worked out by January.

Swell.

But what about Burlington’s current Democratic mayor, you ask? What about Peter Clavelle?

Unfortunately, we were unable to reach Mayor Moonie this week. He is with his family south of the border in Uruguay. According to his assistant, Bill Mitchell, the Clavelles flew to Buenos Aires last week and rented a car for the drive to Uruguay. They’re visiting daughter Jaye Clavelle, who’s been in South America since last summer.

Which means the darling daughter was lucky enough to miss her dad’s dismal gubernatorial campaign last fall. Clavelle, who converted from Progressive to Democrat before his last run, got just 37.9 percent in a state where the likes of Pat Leahy, Jim Jeffords and Bernie Sanders win in landslides.

Clavelle’s campaign just never got going.

There was often no response to the frequent jabs thrown by the Douglas camp. Energy was lacking. So was an articulate message and a plan for the future.

After all those years in the shadow of Bernie Sanders, all those years of making Burlington an award-winning, great place to live, Clavelle appeared lost on the statewide stage. And things have only gone downhill for Mayor Moonie since.

“Vermonters have a new ally in the battle against Big Government” — so began a recent press release announcing the arrival of FreedomWorks Vermont, a new local chapter of the national anti-tax organization. State Director Rob Roper, former media director for failed Senatorial candidate Jack McMullen, was on hand at the Statehouse last Thursday to introduce himself and answer questions from the press.

It’s a shame that only one reporter and a handful of legislators were present. It’s not every day that the true-blue Green Mountain State welcomes representatives from what liberal activists call the “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.”

Never heard of FreedomWorks? Understandable. The group, which supports President Bush’s tax cuts, the privatization of Social Security and the elimination of the so-called “death tax,” is less than a year old. It was launched after a July 2004 merger of conservative think tanks Citizens for a Sound Economy and Empower America.

CSE was headed by former House Republican Leader Dick Armey of Texas and C. Boyden Gray, advisor to the first President Bush. The two men co-chair FreedomWorks along with one-time Republican presidential candidate Jack Kemp. Empower America was run by values czar William Bennett; Donald Rumsfeld was a board member.

FreedomWorks was active during the 2004 election. An August 28 article in Salon linked the organization to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Last summer, FreedomWorks mobilized to put Ralph Nader on the ballot in key battleground states. The goal, according to the Oregon chapter’s website at http://www.freedomworks.org/processor/printer_press.php?press_id=863 was to “drive a wedge through the Liberal Left’s base of support.” The Oregon effort failed; Nader was disqualified when it turned out that many of the signatures were fraudulent.

A copy of CSE’s 1998 tax return, obtained by Public Citizen, showed significant contributions from industries that benefited from their work; Philip Morris gave more than $900,000 that year.

Who’s paying this year’s estimated $100,000 price tag for FreedomWorks Vermont? The group’s website does not identify its donors. State chair Rob Roper says they already have 2000 members, but he confirms there are no actual dues. “Members” have merely signed up to receive an email newsletter.

Roper insists that the Vermont group — one of only 10 FreedomWorks chapters with paid staff — will focus mainly on local issues. Nationally the group is campaigning for President Bush’s Social Security initiative; incidentally, co-chair Armey is now a lobbyist for a mutual fund trade group that stands to benefit from this privatization effort. A recent Newsweek article revealed that FreedomWorks has managed to bus and fly its activists to President Bush’s town-hall meetings on Social Security privatization, where they’ve been introduced as average citizens.

Roper says this won’t be happening here. Instead, he says he’d like to focus on attacking the “pro-big-government” agenda of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, the Conservation Law Foundation and the Peace and Justice Center. These groups, said Roper, “are taking away our freedoms little bit by little bit.”

Even Vermont’s conservative state legislators were cautious about aligning themselves with the controversial group, however. When asked at the press event if she supports FreedomWorks, House Republican leader Peg Flory said only, “I think that the more groups you have promoting citizen involvement, the better.” Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Grassroots Group Warns: TruGreen Is Anything But

A Vermont environmental group is warning Vermonters to stay off the grass — if TruGreen got there first. This week, the Montpelier-based Toxics Action Center launched a nationwide boycott against TruGreen ChemLawn, claiming the country’s largest lawn-care company uses pesticides that are dangerous to children, pets and the environment, without warning consumers about the risks.

On Tuesday, TAC released a 96-page report documenting the human and environmental hazards posed by 32 pesticides TruGreen uses. According to the report, 17 of these products contain chemicals the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the

International Agency for Research on Cancer consider “possible carcinogens.” The report also claims that one-third of the chemicals contain suspected or known reproductive toxins and/or endocrine disruptors; 13 are banned or restricted in other countries.

Alyssa Schuren is TAC’s organizing director in Vermont and an author of the report. She says her group launched the boycott only after repeated requests to meet with TruGreen representatives were denied. TAC’s aim is for TruGreen to phase out its chemical pesticide use, better disclose what chemicals it uses, and offer consumers organic lawn-care alternatives.

TruGreen serves more than 3.4 million households and generates more than $1.3 bil-

“Make Orange Juice Out of Syracuse!”

It Takes a Cohousing Project…

There aren’t too many large land parcels left in densely populated Burlington. So when a 7.3-acre plot on East Avenue came up for sale last year, neighbors asked the Burlington Community Development Corporation to protect it from reckless development. The BCDC bought the land and is now poised to sell it to a group that plans to build 32 units of cohousing there.

Cohousing is essentially another name for an intentional community, a cluster of homes owned by families who share certain communal spaces. The concept emerged in Denmark in the 1960s and spread to the States in the ’80s in reaction to isolating suburbs and the demise of close-knit neighborhoods, explains Don Schramm, a former board president of the Onion River Co-op, now City Market. Residents participate in community meetings, can eat communal meals, and pool resources to care for themselves and each other.

But no, it’s not a commune, explains Barb Nolfi, who is partners on the project with husband Schramm. Nolfi, a former Progressive City Councilor, lived on a commune in the early ’70s. She says cohousing is more like a village. “You do have a lot of private space,” she notes.

There are currently two completed cohousing developments in Vermont, both rural: Cobb Hill in Hartland and Ten Stones in Charlotte. Another group, Champlain Valley Cohousing in Charlotte, has secured a site. A Montpelier group is forming.

Schramm and Nolfi formed Burlington Cohousing in 1987. Today it’s a limited liability corporation, guided by the couple and two other “developer” households. Membership coordinator Joan Knight says there are 16 other “associate member” households, and 20 more on the mailing list.

Once the units are built, members will have the option to buy in based on when they joined.

The urban cohousing advocates have come close to developing sites in the past, most recently at McCauley Square on Mansfield Avenue. That fell through three years ago, when neighbors objected to the project’s size.

It doesn’t appear that the group will have the same problem on East Avenue. The parcel, which extends onto Centennial Woods, was once owned

by Edith Turner, whose family farmed there. After Turner died more than a year ago, the Burlington Community Development Corporation stepped in.

Community Economic and Development Organization director Michael Monte says the city was approached by adjoining property owners, city councilors and Burlington Conservation Board members who wanted to see the land conserved as much as possible. The city bought it for

$1,175,000 through a federal loan program. No Burlington property taxes financed the purchase.

Burlington Cohousing will repay the entire amount, plus interest.

lion in revenues annually, according to the company’s website. According to TAC, TruGreen applies more than 70 million pounds of pesticides annually; lawn care is now the only sector of the market in which pesticide use is on the rise. Those claims couldn’t be independently verified.

But a TruGreen spokesperson insists their chemicals pose no risks to humans or the environment.

“We’re disappointed that they’re targeting TruGreen,” says Steve Bono, senior vice president of corporate communications for ServiceMaster, TruGreen’s parent company. “We certainly are very, very responsible in the use of all of our chemicals and materials and comply with all regulations and laws.”

Bono hasn’t seen the TAC report and couldn’t comment on its allegations, but says TruGreen doesn’t use any ingredients that are known or probable carcinogens. When asked if all the chemicals TruGreen uses are “safe,” Bono says “yes.”

But Schuren counters that such representations violate federal law. “Just because something is on the

market doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ‘safe,’” Schuren says. “Fifty percent of what ChemLawn uses are considered possible or likely carcinogens by the EPA. [The EPA] is not saying they’re safe because they’re the people who put the warnings on them.”

Dr. Patrick O’Neill is a University of Vermont pediatrics professor who researches the genetic and carcinogenic effects of chemical exposures. He believes several chemicals TruGreen uses are problematic, particularly for children, whose smaller bodies and faster metabolisms make them especially susceptible to toxic exposures.

O’Neill points out that many lawn-care products migrate into the house, where they pose a greater risk because they aren’t broken down by the elements. “I just find it absolutely amazing that anyone would allow this crap to be sprayed on their lawns,” O’Neill says. “I can’t imagine anyone’s lawn being that important to them.”

In keeping with Burlington’s Legacy Project, which supports cohousing, the city approached the organizers last summer. Noting the uniqueness of the opportunity, Monte says, “It’s going to provide some . . . affordable housing, and ensure the opportunity for conservation.”

Plans call for 32 housing units — half as many as a commercial developer might have wanted, according to Schramm. Seventeen units will be affordable; a one-bedroom might sell for $80,000.

The clustered houses, with minimal yards, allow for ample communal green space. The property’s portion of Centennial Woods will remain undeveloped, and abutting neighbors will have the option of purchasing some of the land to enlarge their backyards. The project still requires Design Review Board approval and an Act 250 permit.

Neighbor Jeanne Keller approves. She and other area homeowners considered purchasing the property, but couldn’t afford to buy it without developing it. “If the city hadn’t stepped in,” she says, “it would have gone to a developer . . . Once you get over wishing it could be open, these are the best neighbors we could have.”

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Martinsburg, West Virginia, reported that a man broke into a home, took some guns from an upstairs bedroom and went downstairs, where he confronted homeowners Everett and Annie Laura Fogle with a gun in one hand and a hatchet in the other. He demanded money, but after Mrs. Fogle gave him $540, he failed to leave. Instead, the suspect told Mr. Fogle to play the piano while he sang along. After asking the couple if they wanted him to order pizza, he began playing with his gun but accidentally shot himself in the leg. The Fogles called police, who arrested Paul Kelvin Hardy, 40.

ombing at Shiite Mosque in Mosul Leaves 40 Dead” — New York Times headline, March 11.

My, isn’t freedom a wonderful thing?

Isn’t it great to see democracy on the march? Taking a quick a look at Sunday’s headlines alone, I read further: “U.S. helicopter opens fire in Mosul, wounds five civilians.” “Three Iraqi cops shot dead in Mosul.” “Eight killed in Iraq as hostage spared.” (This was in Baghdad.)

And about that body count: “The death toll rose to 51 killed and 77 wounded from Thursday’s suicide bomb attack on a Shiite funeral tent in the northern city of Mosul.”

What, is someone counting? First it was 30, then 40, then 47 and now 51, with the injured approaching the 100 mark. Exactly what kind of injuries these people have sustained is not reported, but your imagina-

church.” According to Newswire: “On March 12th, The Lion Brand Yarn Company released the ‘Coming Home’ poncho pattern, the first free version of its Martha Stewart-inspired poncho . . .

Within the first 48 hours that the free pattern was available online, Lion Brand Yarn estimates that over 50,000 copies of the pattern had been downloaded by visitors to its website. The free poncho pattern was featured on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.’” This after network anchor Peter Jennings hosted a two-hour “news” special called “The UFO Phenomenon — Seeing Is Believing.”

Martha has also finally joined the ranks of Forbes magazine’s annual billionaires list. As for Michael Jackson — well!

According to prosecutors at his trial on child-molestation charges in California, the freaky, fading, former King of Pop is “on the verge of bankruptcy,” and is thus more “desperate” than ever.

Who knows what he might do if someone else’s parents are stupid, greedy and/or irresponsible enough to let their boys spend the night at Neverland?

How anyone who owns copyright on The Beatles’ catalogue could approach bankruptcy is unknown to me. But at least Michael, as a scagillionaire, will escape the penalties soon to be imposed on ordinary Americans whose assets are wiped out by divorce, job loss, disability or catastrophic illness.

So will the credit-card companies, currently sitting on $30 billion in annual profits, whose toads in Congress last week rammed through a bill to deprive the poor and middle class of bankruptcy relief.

George Bernard Shaw put it best in 1913, in Pygmalion, the razor-sharp satire on the upper classes that later became the basis of the Broadway musical My Fair Lady. The lines belong to Eliza Doolittle’s father, addressing the mother of Henry Higgins, who has trained Eliza, a cockney flower girl with no manners, no money and no education, to walk, talk and behave “like a princess”: “That’s the tragedy of it, ma’am,” Doolittle explains. “It’s easy to say chuck it; but I haven’t the nerve. Which one of us has? We’re all intimidated. Intimidated, ma’am: that’s what we are . . . If I was one of the deserving poor, and had put by a bit, I could chuck it; but then why should I? . . . They’ve got you every way you turn.”

Now, I’m not so far gone in “Bushbashing,” contempt for the Fourth Estate and devotion to the principles of the United States Constitution not to realize that the press has always tended to focus on the irrelevant at the expense of the urgent, the despicable, the unconscionable and the truth. But when I think of those 51 — and counting — dead in Mosul, I just want to vomit all over Martha’s ponchos. 쩾

It won’t be long before the number of victims in Bush’s war matches the estimated 300,000 killed and “disappeared” under the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. tion, if you have one, might envision arms, legs and other body parts defiling the corpse of whoever it was being buried in that “tent,” which happened to be erected in the courtyard of a mosque: “U.S. troops took 10 ‘very critical cases’ to a military medical facility at their base in the city.”

“As we were inside the mosque, we saw a ball of fire and heard a huge explosion,” says Tahir Abdullah Sultan, 45, in an interview with The Scotsman. After that, blood and pieces of flesh were scattered around the place.”

Ho-hum. Just another day in the liberation of Iraq. At this rate, it won’t be long before the number of victims in Bush’s war matches the estimated 300,000 killed and “disappeared” under the tyranny of Saddam Hussein.

Meantime, the American media are doing what they do best and most: “human interest” stories. A “suspected rapist” opens fire on the fourth day of his trial in Atlanta, kills the judge, the court reporter and a sheriff’s deputy, flees the scene, murders another victim on the lam, and is finally apprehended, or re-apprehended, in anticipation of what will now, undoubtedly, be a sensational murder trial. Who knows, maybe another “Crime of the Century.”

Golly, what a tale! I can hardly wait for the instant book and the TV movie. It’s all so shocking and so juicy that it even pushes Martha Stewart and Michael Jackson a few notches down on the scale of what’s hot and what’s not — Martha having just been released from five months of confinement at a women’s prison in West Virginia. She is currently being fitted for her “anklet, or electronic monitoring device,” which will track her every move on those days (at least two a week) when she’s permitted to leave her mansion in upstate New York to conduct her “legitimate business” in Manhattan and, when she needs to “attend

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

RIC TILE

On the Road with a Poutine-iac

R IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

ic Tile boasts that he is the state’s foremost “poutine-ologist,” and he’s probably right. Honestly, how many Vermonters dedicate themselves to studying and savoring poutine, the Canadian junk-food staple, made from French fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds? Tile — a 45-year-old DJ who seems blissfully unconcerned about heart disease — can’t get enough of the stuff. “To some people like me,” he says, “it’s like manna.”

A hearty dish most appealing during the winter months, poutine — pronounced “poo-tsin” in Québec, “poo-teen” in the States — is popular with drinkers eager to soak up the alcohol in their stomachs after a night on the town. Fernand Lachance, a restaurateur in the small, rural town of Warwick, Québec, introduced it in 1957. Today our northern neighbors can find it almost anywhere in their great nation; it’s even on the menu at Canadian McDonald’s.

But poutine is not so easy to find in Vermont, and Tile wants to change that. Last December, the

“Edible Complex” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Cathy Resmer, email cathy@sevendaysvt.com.

Pennsylvania native, who moved here from Miami in May 2003, started a whimsical poutine promotion on his radio show on The Point. Nearly every weekday morning between 5 and 10, Tile reviews his list of local poutine purveyors, and offers to plug any restaurant that adds it to the menu. On weekends, he scours the state, sampling various recipes. Last week, I joined him and tried a few orders myself, an adventure that turned out to be not nearly as gross as it sounds.

Our first stop was Sean & Nora’s. Tile and I met at the Montpelier radio station on Thursday night, and the DJ drove me to the Barre restaurant, explaining his fascination with this fatty food along the way. Though we’d never met, listening to him talk in the car was an oddly familiar experience.

“I’ve been on the poutine trail for, like, three months,” Tile began. He said it all started on one of his trips to Québec to watch junior- and senior-league hockey — no NHL this season. Unable to speak French, at the concession stands he ordered only what he felt comfortable pronouncing, namely “biere” and “poutine.”

After a while he grew fond of the fried dish, and wondered why more Vermont restaurants, such as Nectar’s and Al’s French Frys, haven’t picked it up.

Tile figures Québec and Vermont are destined to secede and join forces. “Then we’ll be Verbec, or Quémont,” he reasoned half-seriously. “You’d think we’d be serving their national dish all over.”

Amazingly, Tile’s campaign seems to be working: Several restaurants have responded to his plea, including Sean & Nora’s. When we got there, the hostess immediately recognized the paunchy, balding DJ. Hey, that’s how he describes himself on The Point website — though to be fair, it doesn’t mention his stylish specs or his mischievous charm. The hostess pointed to the new menu, listing a side of poutine for $4.50. We ordered one to share.

Tile also got a Diet Pepsi. “I am training to run a leg of the marathon,” he quipped.

While we waited for our food, Tile opened a manila folder he calls his “Vermont poutine file.” In addition to keeping track of his travels, it contains evidence that his listeners love poutine, too. He pulled out a listener-submitted photo of an Ottawa street fair, featuring a vendor’s stand called “The Poutine Machine.”

He also produced some email tips. One Springfield correspondent invited Tile to stop by. “Yo, Ric,” he wrote, “we got the poutine right here in downtown Springfield, VT, so sniff us out with that old poutine finder and head on down to see us. We’ll keep the fryer on.”

Finally, Tile handed me a list of the 12 nearby poutineries he’s found so far, all but one in Vermont. The other is The Spa, just across the border in West Stewartstown, New Hampshire. “They serve nine different varieties,” he said, a note of awe in his voice. In addition to the original recipe, The Spa also makes pepperoni, hotdog and popcorn chicken poutine.

Frankly, my gut reaction to this news was: yuck. I have just recently begun eating meat again after being a vegetarian for eight years and, while I can stomach the occasional turkey or chicken sandwich, meat is not something I really relish.

So I was surprised, and a little sheepish, when I tasted my first mouthful of Sean & Nora’s poutine; I immediately wished I’d ordered my own portion. It was delicious. The fries were thick and crisp, the chicken gravy savory, and the authentic cheese curds delightfully stringy. I had to break several long strands that followed the fries from my plate. Across the table, Tile took his first bite. “Oh,” he murmured. “This is brilliant.”

Chef Rich Lechner stopped by our table to check on us. We raved about the poutine. He confessed it wasn’t that hard to make. “It’s pretty straightforward,” Lechner said. “It’s not a lot of foo-foo.”

Afterwards, we headed up the winding Mountain Road to the Fireside Tavern in Stowe, and arrived just before closing time. A few ruddy skiers lingered at the bar. Tile and I plopped down at a four-person table and ordered our poutine, along with a side of baked hazelnut-encrusted goat cheese.

Sadly, this particular poutine paled by comparison.

The thick steak fries seemed mushy, and the cheese lacked that peppy stringiness. The menu said cheddar was used instead of curds. “Americans aren’t necessarily excited when they see cheese curds on the menu,” Tile explained.

Our next stops, scheduled for Saturday morning, were Gigi’s Deli in Stowe and Trillium Café in Hinesburg, which shares a building with Green River Chocolates. Because of a snowstorm, I missed out on Gigi’s. Tile sampled chef/owner Joey Buttendorf ’s new Vermont Poutine Country Omelet — a plate of eggs, roasted potatoes, sausage gravy and cheese. He devoured it, Tile reported.

Thankfully, Elizabeth Sengle, chef/owner of Trillium Café, tried a different approach. She was the first chef to incorporate poutine at Tile’s suggestion. Sengle had heard him on the radio early one December morning and called immediately, promising to add poutine to her menu.

She remembered Tile asking her incredulously, “Do you know what’s in poutine?” She didn’t. Sengle Googled it and was shocked. After all, Trillium is an allvegetarian café.

“I was horrified,” Sengle confided, eyes wide. “It’s everything we don’t do here.” Undeterred, she created her own recipe — red-jacket potatoes from Lewis Creek Farm, roasted with sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika, and topped with Cabot’s seriously sharp cheddar and a tangy tamari-based sauce. “Voilà, poutine!” she said.

Sure enough, Sengle’s creative concoction was a hit.

It’s been on the menu for months and still sells well. It’s extremely tasty, though carnivores might miss the little morsels of fat and gristle in the gravy.

Tile defended Trillium’s inclusion on his list, saying that if other restaurants want to be on it, they have to show some effort. “You can get anybody to throw cheese and gravy on fries,” he observed, “but it’s got to be something [separate that] people can really order. It’s got to be a dish they take pride in.” m

Shh. . . It’s Private

efore it closed down last month, Gezellig was Burlington’s arts incubator — an under-the-radar rehearsal space, black-box theater, meeting place, nightclub and cinema that hatched all kinds of inventive stuff.

Operated by Lee Anderson, who owns Radio Bean Coffeehouse, the place lived up to its Dutch name, which translates roughly, “the situation and aesthetic that would facilitate the best possible vibe being created.”

But Burlington police had a different take on the place when they shut down a

DOUG LAZARUS AT THE GREAT FALLS CLUB loud party there last month at 2 a.m. “The cops thought they were onto a meth lab or something,” suggests Anderson, who sublet the space for the night. Although he was not on the premises at the time, Anderson got slapped with noise and code violation fines totaling about $700.

He raised the necessary funds with a Radio Bean “Benefit for the Incident.” But the larger problem hasn’t gone away. The North Winooski Avenue storefront, where Old Spokes Home once was, is not zoned for entertainment. Currently, “It’s illegal for me to be using it for anything,” he says.

So he filed a zoning application to turn it into an art studio and rehearsal space. The city turned him down, citing inadequate parking.

“I can appeal the decision,” says Anderson, “but that’s another 140 bucks.”

They’re trying to avoid that sort of hassle in Middlebury, where a loose association of artists and musicians have created the Great Falls Club in the alley at Frog Hollow. By organizing as a private club, Addison County’s newest music venue gets around some of the regulations that make presenting the arts prohibitive. Performing members pay $50 a month in exchange for putting on two gigs. The public buys single-day memberships: $3 per day to hang out, or $10 per night for art, music, recitation or whatever is happening in the space.

There’s no alcohol, but coffee and cookies are free.

“It’s slightly subversive to the whole concept of how things are supposed to be,” says painter Doug Lazarus, 60, who is the “non-dictatorial” leader of the project. “It’s kind of Zen. Instead of doing it for money, you do it because it’s worth doing.”

In this case, the real benefit of being a private club is being able to leave the funky building alone. Originally a print shop, the former arts-supply store hangs dramatically

over Otter Creek and with a view under the Middlebury bridge. The building’s industrial history, as evidenced by exposed brick and pipes, is part of its creative appeal. “We don’t have to have two bathrooms. That’s $10,000 right there,” says Lazarus. The barn-board floor is warped with age. “If it was public, you’d have to put in a new floor.”

Prior to its new incarnation, the Great Falls Club was a group art gallery that hosted occasional musical events. Lazarus and a bunch of artists split the rent and the wall space in the 2400-square-foot room. They ran it that way for about a year, during which time numerous people commented that it would be a great place for a café. But the regulations were daunting. “Fifty thousand dollars later, you’re pouring your first cup of coffee,” Lazarus observes.

He recalls, “One day one of the artists was in the bathroom, washing out a cup.

He said, ‘All I ever wanted was a place to hang out, a club.’ So we changed it from the art gallery to a private club in which the artists would work during the day and at night it would be a venue for music.”

Lazarus sees Great Falls as a prototype for similar happening places. “Find the funkiest, most far-out building and make it a club,” he recommends. “All you have to worry about are the aesthetics.”

“It’s completely legit,” Lazarus assures, proudly proclaiming he’s filled out all the necessary paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office. “On the blank where it asks ‘purpose,’ you put down ‘social club’ . . . I defy them to come down here and give me a hard time.”

On the contrary, people seem to be rooting for the place — from Frog Hollow, where the employees willingly deliver a message to their phone-free neighbors, to a guy who donated 20 pounds of Costa Rican coffee. The 28 chairs are Middlebury College cast-offs. A rusty I-beam provides additional seating on the water-side wall.

Performers appear to be pulling for the place, too. The “opening” two weeks ago lasted two days and featured 10 local acts, including jazz musician Art Brooks, bluesman Donald Garside and old-time fiddler Yannig Tanguy. This week, storytellers Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder have a St. Patrick’s Day gig. Ripton Coffeehouse founder Richard Ruane is booked for Friday night.

Music entrepreneur Jim Lockridge of Big Heavy World is also on board. As a performing member, he’ll be presenting “diverse artists” at the Great Falls Club twice a month. “We feel lucky to be involved,” says Lockridge. So lucky, he came and cleaned the bathroom.

Even the law appears to be sympathetic.

One night, prior to the official “opening” two weeks ago, a rock ’n’ roll band from the college played too loud, too late. The cops showed up to shut down the show.

But with two songs left, “they let the musicians finish,” Lazarus reports incredulously.

“I’m from New York. Greenwich Village didn’t have a more bohemian spot than this.” For more info, call Lazarus at 388-0239. 쩾

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

14A

Dear Cecil, Is brainwashing possible? How does it work? Does the government really use it? How would I go about brainwashing someone?

JRMecca, via email Let’s define our terms. If by brainwashed you mean “presenting a zombie-like appearance and having no interest in normal human contact,” all you have to do is sit your subject down with a Game Boy. However, if you’re looking for something a little more advanced, e.g., a preprogrammed assassin as depicted in the 1962 movie and 2004 remake The Manchurian Candidate, that could be a little tougher to deliver on. As with many manifestations of cold-war paranoia, brainwashing was about 80 percent fantasy and 20 percent fact.

The term “brainwashing” was invented by a journalist (and, it turned out, CIA hireling) named Edward Hunter, who in 1951 published a book called Brainwashing in Red China. As portrayed by Hunter and later writers, brainwashing was a scientific program of mind control in which masterful communist manipulators used techniques such as Pavlovian conditioning, drugs and hypnosis to turn ordinary folks into robot-like tools of the state. The public ate it up and soon was calling any type of communist indoctrination brainwashing.

When U.S. servicemen captured during the Korean conflict publicly confessed to war crimes, the cry went up: They’re brainwashing our boys! Subsequent scholarly studies of civilians released from communist Chinese prisons confirmed that something akin to brainwashing really was going on. Robert Jay Lifton, whose 1961 book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of “Brainwashing” in China remains one of the classic works in the field, interviewed dozens of ex-prisoners.

He concluded that they’d been subjected to a multi-step program starting with an assault on the prisoner’s identity through brutality and humiliation and often leading to an admission of guilt, betrayal of friends and associates, and finally submission and (for some) release. In Lifton’s persuasive depiction, several former captives, in

particular a Catholic priest compelled to confess to implausible crimes, sound eerily like the broken protagonists in Orwell’s 1984.

As the quotation marks in Lifton’s title suggest, however, scholars had already realized that early reports about communist mind-control techniques were greatly exaggerated. For one thing, U.S. Korean War prisoners had not been brainwashed in any meaningful sense.

Though they had been subjected to group indoctrination, their confessions were extracted mainly through good old-fashioned beatings, exposure to hunger and cold and so forth. Few were turned into committed communists. (To put things in perspective, only 21 U.S. prisoners refused repatriation after the war, compared to 22,000 POWs from communist countries.)

The communist Chinese regime did, and in some form presumably still does, have an extensive system of reeducation camps in which antisocial elements were shown the error of their ways. However, social scientists now generally agree that the form of “coercive persuasion,” as they prefer to call it, practiced there wasn’t based on any novel or profound insight into the human psyche and didn’t use exotic methods such as Pavlovian conditioning or drugs. Rather, it consisted of traditional police interrogation tactics, a heavy dose of communist ideology and constant badgering by other prisoners farther down the road to Marxist enlightenment.

Implanting brainwashees with posthypnotic suggestions to kill and so forth was strictly Hollywood.

Brainwashing became a hot topic again in the 1970s with the rise of religious cults such as the Hare Krishnas, the Moonies and, more chillingly, the People’s Temple — you know, Jim Jones, poisoned Kool-Aid, etc.

Cultists sometimes did crazy things; obviously, alarmists argued, they’d been brainwashed. Calmer sorts eventually established that in most cults physical coercion, an essential element of brainwashing as commonly understood, was missing. If anyone was doing any brainwashing it was the deprogrammers hired by families to kidnap their cult-member relatives and hold them captive for days in an effort to knock some sense into them.

One of the stranger aspects of the whole business was the attempt by the U.S. to develop its own behaviorcontrol program. Fearful that it was falling behind in the brainwashing wars, the CIA starting in 1953 secretly funded a bizarre research effort known as MKULTRA — one initiative allegedly involved feeding LSD to a pre-hippie-era Timothy Leary and hundreds of others.

After a congressional investigation in the 1970s headed

by Senator Frank Church, the agency was ordered to halt drug experiments.

Conspiracy buffs claim research on related techniques such as the ever-popular brain implants continues clandestinely, and I suppose one never knows. But the more likely story is that such programs were discontinued not because anybody necessarily had moral scruples, but because the techniques under investigation just didn’t work.

nother week, another ominous data set.

Paying attention to global warming is like working at the morgue — you can be sure the news will be bad, but in precisely what way is always a surprise.

This week’s numbers come from the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Climate Change Research. Measured across a wide variety of indicators, they show that the greenhouse effect is already kicking in across northern New England. It’s not some future threat — it’s here right now.

If you go just by the thermometer, temperatures across the Northeast have climbed 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century, with most of that increase coming in the last three decades. And the mercury readings are confirmed by a variety of more powerful measurements from plants and lakes and other very real things. Apples and grapes, for instance, are now blooming two days earlier with each passing decade.

Lake Champlain now freezes over eight days later than it did in the 19th century. And often it doesn’t freeze over at all — in the 186-year record, half the years without a total freeze have come since 1970. Total precipitation and severe storms have been up in the last century, but the number of days with snow on the ground decreased by 16 in the last three decades.

What these studies demonstrate is just how advanced this warming phenomenon already is. We’ve set the world off on a wild and careening new course. And on our present path it will get much worse.

The consensus prediction of the world’s climatologists is that the planet will warm five times as fast in this century as it did in the last. That is, unless we take quick and dramatic action to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and to use less of all kinds of power.

The prospects for that switch are not exactly bright, at least in this country.

There are occasional bright spots — evangelical leaders, for instance, last week called on Washington to take steps to limit carbon emissions. But there’s no sign the Bush administration will pay any attention. In fact, there’s probably no real point in even trying to change policy in D.C. over the next four years; Dick Cheney’s simply having none of it.

Which leaves us the possibility of working closer to home. And here the chances are better. So far, it must be said, Montpelier has done next to nothing. Gov. Douglas, as always, talks a reasonable game — he’s agreed with other eastern governors and provincial premiers that we should be trying to reduce carbon emissions. But, as is often the case in this business-as-usual administration, the follow-up has been lacking. A report card issued earlier this

A report card issued earlier this year showed Vermont the most laggard state in New England on climate-change action.

year showed Vermont the most laggard state in New England on climate-change action. We got a D-plus.

In an effort to spur real change, several Vermont legislators and lobbies have pushed bills into the hopper. One, S.52, would commit the state to getting a certain percentage of its electricity from renewable sources of power, a revolutionary idea long since adopted by loony, leftwing states like Nevada and Mississippi. Another, H.49, would codify Douglas’ promise to the New England governors; modeled on legislation already adopted in Connecticut and Maine, it would mandate an annual report on how quickly we were progressing toward our targeted reductions.

Neither bill has risen to the top of the heap. The energy committees seem preoccupied with the question of dry-cask storage for nuclear waste at Vermont Yankee. To be sure, this is a pressing topic. But that’s the point about global warming: It’s never, in any given year, the single-most urgent question. But, it’s probably the most important.

In an effort to get the bills moving more quickly, college students from around the state are organizing a happening for people of all ages and politics. Anyone worried about climate change is invited to gather on the University of Vermont Green on April 1 at 8:30 a.m. From there they’ll bike along Route 2 to Montpelier, arriving by 1 p.m. for a bring-your-own picnic on the Statehouse lawn. (If it’s too long a ride for you, carpools are being organized.)

Demonstrators will sprawl in front of the granite steps, write letters to their state reps, and listen to live music. Plans are underway to bring tired two-wheelers, and their bikes, back to Burlington at 3. For more info, email eqwheele@middlebury. edu or LCunningham@veic.org.

The individuals behind this gathering are not Angry Youth. They are Incredibly Polite and Well-Organized Youth. It would be really sweet if their faith in the system was rewarded. It would also be sweet if we did something about global warming, since we’ve accomplished exactly nothing in the last two decades.

I’ve spent half my life writing and talking about climate change. People always ask, “What should I do?” So it’s a pleasure to answer, “See you on April 1!”

Big Box Update — By a 3-1 margin on Town Meeting Day, Middlebury voters heeded a slew of evidence showing that Wal-Mart and its ilk hurt working-class citizens and lower overall wages: They backed an interim zoning ordinance that would prohibit retail stores larger than 50,000 square feet. The town’s Select Board appears set to enact the law later this spring. Meanwhile, Bennington voters face a concerted effort by Wal-Mart and its local adherents to overturn a similar cap in a vote early next month. It’s always a tough battle when you’re fighting the largest corporation on Earth, but Vermonters have shown their independence before. 쩾

Vermont. There’s plenty of scholarship to say they existed. You find relics all over the state. There are people who have maintained cultural traditions. It’s the right thing to do.”

Ironically, her dad, Republican Gov. Richard Snelling, once held a somewhat different view. Back in 1977, one of the newly sworn-in governor’s first acts was to revoke the Thanksgiving Day executive order issued by his Democratic predecessor, Tom Salmon, which granted state recognition to the Abenaki.

Princess Di said she believed King Richard’s concern “was about the concept of another sovereign nation within the sovereign state of Vermont. He was clear that should not happen. I agree with that,” she said.

“What we’re doing,” said Daughter Diane, “is very specifically saying we recognize this tribe based on its cultural contribution, et cetera. We’re not giving them special privileges or rights, like fishing rights,” she noted.

Princess Di’s bill, S.117, has five cosponsors: Sens. Matt Dunne, Hinda Miller, Don Collins, Jane Kitchel and Vince Illuzzi. Illuzzi chairs the Economic Development, Housing & General Affairs.

Chairman Illuzzi told Seven Days he’s “always supported” state recognition of the Abenaki. “But I’ve never been in a position to do so before,” he added with a wry smile.

Now that he is in position, the maverick Republican from the Kingdom predicts his committee will pass an Abenaki-recognition bill and the Senate will approve it.

Issues raised by opponents about casinos and land rights are “red herrings,” said Sen. Illuzzi. State recognition, he argued, will have no impact on possible federal recognition.

Besides, said Vince the Prince, under federal law a tribe cannot open casinos if a state doesn’t allow them.

“The time has come,” said Chairman Illuzzi. “We can’t keep denying our history and our heritage.”

Oh, yeah?

At least we can try.

A $75 Million Mistake? — Colchester “housewife and mother” Marilyn Sowles gets Inside Track’s “Watchdog of the Year” Award for catching an embarrassing $75 million mistake in the recently adopted Chittenden County Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) that all the experts, planners and town reps missed.

According to its Executive Summary, the MTP has been in the works for “nearly four years.” It was prepared, the public is told, “under the detailed guidance specified in federal regulations governing its content.”

That’s a relief, eh?

But Mama Sowles has been a Circumferential Highway watchdog for more than a decade. That’s the gazillion-dollar highway Gov. Jim Douglas is determined to build across Chittenden County. Even government experts predict the completed 16-mile Circ would reduce cross-county rush-hour travel time by just seven seconds. The Circ price tag is currently estimated to be approaching a quarter-billion dollars. Your tax dollars at work, right?

What caught Mama Sowles’ eye

were the cost estimates in the nowadopted MTP for five transportation alternatives — everything from more busses and commuter rail to what’s called “Freeway Expansion.”

The Freeway Expansion alternative includes the full build-out out of the I-89 interchanges and the completion of the Circ Highway and Burlington Southern Connector.

What jumped off the page to Sowles was the fact that the cost estimate for Freeway Expansion ($122.6 million) was less than the MTP cost estimates for improving county bus and commuter-rail service.

Sowles raised the matter at a recent CCMPO meeting. Apparently, she said, the estimate had been based on a two-lane, rather than four-lane, Circ Highway.

Turned out she was right.

In fact, Senior Transportation Planner Peter Keating told the CCMPO that the estimate in the MTP was off by even more than Mama Sowles originally imagined.

Instead of $122.6 million, the more realistic cost of the Freeway Expansion alternative should have been $198.2 million. That’s a $75 million oversight, folks.

At its February meeting, the CCMPO adopted a motion to have the staff “verify the correctness of the data in the other tables included in the county plan.”

Good idea, eh?

The motion passed, but, surprisingly, it was not unanimous. The reps from South Burlington (Sen. Jim “He’s Everywhere” Condos) and Essex (Jeff Carr, our state economist) voted against it.

Condos explained his “no” vote by pointing out that even if the cost estimate for that “alternative” had been correct it would not have mattered, since “it was an alternative that was not accepted.”

Mr. Carr, the state economist, was out of town and did not reply to our queries.

Keating the Planner’s research indicated the tables used in the recently adopted MTP were three years old. He found “some old computer files,” he said. “It appeared the freeway alternative did not take into account a four-lane Circ Highway, and also underestimated the amounts for completing a two-lane Circ through Colchester.”

Oopsie!

Keating’s boss and CCMPO Executive Director Bill Knight told Seven Days the problem was with the consultant hired to do the work.

“As you may or may not know,” said Knight, “we fired our consultant for this work and finished it up ourselves. This may be another indication supporting that decision.

Data and information are critical to our work and it must be correct.”

Absolutely! Which is why the pro-Circ crowd’s credibility continues to shrink.

Keating told Seven Days he will present the results of his review of the other tables in the MTP at Wednesday evening’s CCMPO meeting. He declined to give us an advance on Tuesday.

Noting that “some communities voted against making sure the information in the MTP is correct,” Mama Sowles wondered, “Is this MPO really as open-minded on the Circ as the judge requires it to be?”

That’s a reference to U.S. District Judge Bill Sessions, who

2x5-Optical030905 2x4-designerscircleMELT

ruled in favor of Circ opponents last May and ordered the Douglas and Bush administrations to stop the bulldozers and do a legitimate Environmental Impact Assessment as required by federal law.

In fact, three public hearings on the new EIS are being held around the county this week with very little fanfare. At their last meeting, Colchester Selectboard members (who support the Circ) wondered aloud why three Circ public hearings were crammed into one week.

They also questioned the wisdom of convening one of the hearings at Burlington City Hall at 6:30 on Thursday night, March 17 — St. Patrick’s Day. Good luck parking, folks!

BYOB. As for Sowles, the Colchester housewife who brought the $75 million mistake in the MTP to the attention of the CCMPO, she is surprised by one thing.

“Nobody thanked me,” she said.

P.S. We’ll thank you, Marilyn Sowles. Thank you very much indeed. Watchdogs are in short supply these days. Keep up the good work!

U.S. Senate 2006 — Had an interesting little sit-down the other day with GOP State Chairman Jim Barnett and Democratic State Chairman Peter Mallary. First time the gents ever met!

Barnett wondered aloud if the Vermont Democratic Party would field any candidates for federal office next year. Independent Sen. Jim Jeffords is up. So is Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders.

“Look,” said Mallary, “we gave Jim Jeffords the Curtis Award, our highest award, a couple years ago in thanks for his courage in the Senate. There are many, many Democrats who think extremely highly of Jim Jeffords.

If he runs, I believe many Democrats will want to support him.”

But Mallary noted his position as party chairman prevented a full-blown endorsement just yet.

“I’m going to wait, keep my powder dry, and see what the landscape looks like,” said Chairman Peter, “but Democrats like Jim Jeffords a lot.”

As for fielding a Democrat to run against Bernie, Mallary indicted the picture might change.

“I think that it is premature to have any conversation about that because I know Jim Jeffords is telling everyone that he’s running again. I believe that he believes that now. There’s some time left.

We’ll have to see.”

Should Jeezum Jim retire, said Mallary, his understanding is that there’s a Sanders press release already written announcing his U.S. Senate bid.

like what Walter Benjamin said,â&#x20AC;? Howard Norman once told an interviewer from the literary journal Ploughshares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A real translation is transparent, it does not cover the original, does not block its light, but allows STORY the pure language, as though reinforced by JOHN its own medium, to shine upon the original FREEMAN all the more fully.â&#x20AC;?

Although best known for his exquisite In Fond 1994 novel The Bird Artist, Norman knows Remembrance a thing or two about the delicate process of of Me: A Memoir translation. Since 1976, he has smuggled of Myth and into English everything from the narrative Uncommon Friendship poems of Swampy Cree Indians to in the Arctic Caribbean folktales. It might seem an odd

an Anglo-Japanese translator who was working on the same tales and turning them into Japanese. Over the fall they became close friends, sharing stories of Nuqat and his mood swings. At night they listened to Canadian radio plays together.

Later the following year Tanizaki died of stomach cancer. She was barely 40 years old.

In Fond Remembrance of Me includes a dozen or so of Nuqatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noah Stories,â&#x20AC;? but the real translation is Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to bring into sharper perspective his youthful experience with loss. As he says at the beginning of this memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was twenty-eight, born in Toledo, Ohio, with a makeshift education and not very self-reflective, to put it bluntly; Helenâ&#x20AC;Ś[was] perhaps the most introspective person Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known.â&#x20AC;?

He was a white man and he had come to take an Inuit manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which were basically parables about an encounter with a white settler who refuses to share, and wants to take.

Now, after publishing short stories, five novels and a handful of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, the part-time Vermonter has released his most poignant translation. In Fond Remembrance of Me describes Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiences in the fall of 1977, when he moved to Churchill, Manitoba, to record and translate the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noah Storiesâ&#x20AC;? of a local Inuit storyteller named Marc Nuqat. Holed up in a hotel in the far north, Norman befriended Helen Tanizaki,

Resurrected from journals and notes, Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir does not suffer from the genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occasionally hollow echo. He may not paint the landscape in his usual atmospheric prose, but Tanizaki comes to life vividly enough here to annoy and bemuse. She is funny, learned and possessed by quirky enthusiasms. One of her projects is to collect and translate Inuit folk tales that feature choking. Another is to compile American

SEVEN DAYS | march 16-23, 2005 | feature 21A slang. The word “nowheresville” thrills her to no end.

If this were a movie, one might say Norman and Tanizaki have good chemistry. He plays the straight man to her slapstick, feverishly drinking his coffee and earnestly talking to Nuqat, while Tanizaki gets to be colorful, creative and funny, her attention always slightly elsewhere. When her gaze does finally land on Howard Norman — she always calls him by his entire name — Tanizaki is slightly dismissive, as if the word he brings to her mind is “twerp.” When Norman asks her to interpret Nuqat’s opinion of him, at first she resists. After some prying, Tanizaki relays this anecdote: “He said you try very hard. He added that a baby fox tries very hard when it’s learning to piss in the snow. But that it often pisses on its own leg.”

Not surprisingly, Nuqat is an equally large personality in Norman’s memory, so much so that one is halfway through the book before it becomes clear that the title is somewhat misleading. It’s as if Norman has decided to follow Benjamin’s bromide to the letter, erasing himself from the tale except for the instances in which he affects Tanizaki or Nuqat.

By all accounts, Norman came to translating by the most circuitous route. After he dropped out of high school, he spent a summer as a fire lookout in Manitoba with mostly Cree Indians. He once told the Los Angeles Times the journey was provoked by the death of a close friend. But none of this finds its way into this memoir.

This uncluttered surface makes it feel a little less jarring when Norman splices the first of 11 different “Noah stories” into the memoir. They are all variations on the same plot: Noah sails up to Hudson Bay in his ark; he encounters Inuit hunters who ask him for food and lumber; he refuses; then bad things happen to him.

Though this juxtaposition is at first somewhat confusing, the stories begin to resonate with Norman’s remembrances, affecting how they change and warp over time. The Noah Stories help explain Norman’s self-consciousness back then, and now in remembering his time there: He was a white man and he had come to take an Inuit man’s stories — all of which were basically parables about an encounter with a white settler who refuses to share, and wants to take.

In Fond Remembrance of Me raises these paradoxes, but Norman does not draw attention to them. Instead, he seems intent on acting as memory’s faithful scribe, carefully recalling Helen’s last autumn, her final wishes, her ultimate grace note.

This is an act of earnest literary chivalry, and it’s hard not to be touched by the sincerity of Norman’s instincts. In the end, though, the reader is left feeling slightly let down, hoping that, perhaps next time, Howard Norman will give us a little more to remember him by. 쩾

POOR AND POORER

The subject of poverty is complex.

It has existed for a very long time and has a variety of causes. In fact, to untangle the social, economic and political factors is nearly as challenging as, well, supporting a family on a minimum-wage job. But the current state of the union sure makes us pine for “the great society.” We cannot examine the full scope of the poverty problem here. Instead, we offer three views that may provoke readers’ thinking about how federal cutbacks are making the poor — in Vermont as elsewhere — even poorer.

Two Addison County conferences size up poverty STORY: KEVIN J. KELLEY Poverty and its pathologies have not had a prominent place on the American political agenda for nearly 40 years. During that time — which coincides with the ascendancy of conservative Republicanism — poverty has come to be seen more as a product of personal inadequacy than of social injustice.

Since the loss of the Johnson-era vision of a Great Society, national initiatives focused on low-income Americans have generally come in the form of cutbacks rather than efforts to raise living standards.

“Welfare reform,” for example, has been the signal poverty-related achievement of the past decade.

Poor people have also grown more invisible, despite a steady increase in their numbers. Some 36 million Americans — 12.5 percent of the population and 2 million more than at the start of the latest Bush presidency — now live below a federally defined line that is said to divide the poor from the non-poor. But policy analysts such as Vermont’s Doug Hoffer challenge that standard as unrealistic and misleading.

They point out that an individual earning $9400 a year does not officially qualify as “poor.”

By any measurement, poverty is likely to increase further in the United States in the coming years, warns Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders. The ongoing loss of manufacturing jobs and their replacement by service-sector positions virtually guarantees that the working class will be squeezed and the middle class will shrink, Sanders predicted at a recent “poverty summit” held in Middlebury. In 1980, he noted, General Motors was the single largest employer in the United States; today, Wal-Mart ranks No. 1.

“Thirty or 40 years ago, a Vermonter working 40 hours a week in a manufacturing job could probably pay the bills for a family,” Sanders said. “But today, how many families in the middle class have one person working 40 hours a week? The fact is, more and more Americans are working longer hours for lower wages. And the future of our economy is low-paying, service-industry jobs with few benefits.”

With public discussion of poverty having all but ceased, comfortable segments of society, as well as by most politicians and policymakers, have generally ignored the life circumstances of impoverished Americans.

IMAGE: ANDY DUBACK

That’s almost as true for Vermont as it is for the rest of the country. Certainly, poverty is not a hot topic in the media. “The Burlington Free Press last week ran four stories on page one about the UVM basketball team,” Sanders observed at the Middlebury forum. “And while we’re all pleased that the team is doing well, I don’t recall seeing four stories in The Burlington Free Press over the past year about poverty in Vermont.”

At the same time, the state’s liberalism does make it comparatively generous in the level of assistance it provides to poor people. Fewer than one in 10 Vermonters is federally classified as poor, as compared to one in eight citizens nationwide. Drawing a distinction with the “social Darwinism” he said is practiced by the Bush administration, Sanders observed that Vermonters “don’t believe we should leave people on the side of the road in desperation.”

The March 4 gathering of about 150 advocates and concerned Addison County residents suggests that poverty might again become a focus of grassroots activism, if not legislative action. The summit, >> 24A

Between the Lines An annotated guide to Bush’s misstate of the union ANNOTATIONS: KEN PICARD

1 This is the first of seven references to the word “liberty.” In his 5000-word speech, the president mentions “freedom” 21 times and “terrorists” 12 times. In contrast, he never uses any of the following words: “elderly,” “senior citizen,” “minimum wage,” “low-income,” “child care,” “hunger,” “disabled,” “veteran” or “poverty.” “Minority” and “minorities” each appear once.

2 That depends on how you define “confident and strong.” In 2003, the number of Americans who qualified as “poor” went up for the third straight year. The total income of the bottom two-fifths of Americans fell to one of its lowest levels since World War II. In Vermont, 52,000 people now live in poverty, nearly one-third of them children.

(Center for Budget and Policy Priorities)

3 But the self-proclaimed “war president” says nothing about the people whose sacrifices helped purchase that security: veterans. The Bush budget more than doubles the cost of prescription drug co-payments for veterans, while requiring many of them to pay $250 a year for the privilege of using government health care. (Paralyzed Veterans of America)

4 The president’s joke about a graying Congress is no laughing matter to seniors. His administration proposes slashing $45 billion from Medicaid over the next 10 years; Vermont’s $70 million Medicaid shortfall this year alone could significantly reduce services to the elderly, the disabled and low-wage working parents. (Vermont Coalition Against Federal Budget Cuts)

5 Speaking of children, the Bush budget imposes a five-year freeze on child-care funding, which reduces the number of low-income families who receive child-care assistance by 300,000 nationwide.

In Vermont, that means about 600 fewer families would get child care.

(Vermont Campaign to End Hunger)

The Bush budget plan cuts $300,000 from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS funding for Vermont over the next five years. (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities)

THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, fellow citizens: As a new Congress gathers, all of us in the elected branches of government share a great privilege: We’ve been placed in office by the votes of the people we serve . . . Two weeks ago, I stood on the steps of this Capitol and renewed the commitment of our nation to the guiding ideal of liberty 1 for all. This evening, I will set forth policies to advance that ideal at home and around the world.

Tonight, with a healthy, growing economy, with more Americans going back to work, with our nation an active force for good in the world — the state of our union is confident and strong. 2 Our generation has been blessed — by the expansion of opportunity, by advances in medicine, by the security purchased by our parents’ sacrifice. 3 Now, as we see a little gray in the mirror — or a lot of gray — and we watch our children moving into adulthood, we ask the question: What will be the state of their union? 4 Members of Congress, the choices we make together will answer that question. Over the next several months, on issue after issue, let us do what Americans have always done, and build a better world for our children and our grandchildren. 5 First, we must be good stewards of this economy 6 and renew the great institutions on which millions of our fellow citizens rely. 7 America’s economy is the fastest growing of any major industrialized nation.

In the past four years, we provided tax relief to every person who pays income taxes, overcome a recession, opened up new markets abroad, prosecuted corporate criminals, raised homeownership to its highest level in history, and, in the last year alone, the United States has added 2.3 million new jobs. 8 When action was needed, the Congress delivered — and the nation is grateful. Now we must add to these achievements. By making our economy more flexible, more innovative, and more competitive, we will keep America the economic leader of the world. 9 America’s prosperity requires restraining the spending appetite of the federal government. I welcome the bipartisan enthusiasm for spending discipline. I will send you a budget that holds the growth of discretionary spending below inflation, makes tax relief permanent, 10 and stays on track to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

My budget substantially reduces or eliminates more than 150 government programs that are not getting results, or duplicate current efforts, or do not fulfill essential priorities. 11 The principle here is clear: Taxpayer dollars must be spent wisely, or not at all. . .

Now, we must demand better results from our high schools, 12 so every high school diploma is a ticket to success.

We will help an additional 200,000 workers to get training for a better career, by reforming our job training system 13 and strengthening America’s community colleges. And we’ll make it easier for Americans to afford a college education, by increasing the size of Pell Grants 14. . .

To make our economy stronger and more productive, we must make health care more affordable, and give families greater access to good coverage and more control over their health decisions 15. . .

Because HIV/AIDS brings suffering and fear into so many lives, I ask you to reauthorize the Ryan White Act to encourage prevention, and provide care and treatment to the victims of that disease. 16 And as we update this important law, we must focus our efforts on fellow citizens with the highest rates of new cases, African-American men and women . . .

As Franklin Roosevelt once reminded Americans, “Each age is a dream that is dying, or one that is coming to birth.” And we live in the country where the biggest dreams are born. The abolition of slavery was only a dream — until it was fulfilled. The liberation of Europe from fascism was only a dream — until it was achieved. The fall of imperial communism was only a dream — until, one day, it was accomplished. Our generation has dreams of its own, and we also go forward with confidence. The road of Providence is uneven and unpredictable — yet we know where it leads: It leads to freedom.

Thank you, and may God bless America.

15 In 2004, Vermont spent $3.2 billion on health care, up from $2 billion in 1999. What did the extra $1 billion buy us? About 13,000 more uninsured Vermonters. More than half of all personal bankruptcies now result from families who can’t pay their medical bills. Meanwhile, recent amendments to a Senate bankruptcy bill, which would have protected veterans, the elderly and the chronically ill from medicalrelated bankruptcies, were all defeated by the Republican-controlled Senate.

(Vermont Citizens’ Campaign for Health; The Progress Report, 3-7-05)

14 Easier? Not exactly. The White House would actually make it harder for low- and moderate-income Vermonters to attend college by killing off federal programs such as Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Gear UP. More than 3000 Vermont college students take advantage of these programs, which provide about $4 million to seven colleges around the state. (Rep. Bernie Sanders)

13 “Reform” is an nice euphemism.

Under the Bush plan, Vermont would lose $17.6 million for vocational and adult education over the next five years.

(Center on Budget and Policy Priorities)

12 Among the biggest obstacles to learning are hunger and poor nutrition. The Bush budget cuts $1.5 million from Vermont’s special supplemental nutrition programs for women, infants and children, a move that would affect 1400 Vermonters by 2010. (Vermont Campaign to End Hunger)

11 Apparently, the president doesn’t consider housing an “essential priority.”

His budget would push 1000 Vermonters off Section 8 rental assistance, a program that has enjoyed broad bipartisan support for the last 30 years. (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities)

6 Actually, a Congressional Budget Office analysis of the President’s budget calls his stewardship into question. The CBO found that his budget would increase the federal deficit by $104 billion over the next five years, and by $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years.

(Congressional Budget Office)

7 One of those “great institutions” is the federal Food Stamp program, which keeps many Americans from starvation.

Yet the President’s budget guts the food-stamp program by $500 million over the next five years, and by $1.1 billion over 10 years.

fallen far short of expectations. The president’s Council of Economic Advisors predicted his tax cuts would generate 5.5 million new jobs by December 2004. The nation fell short by 3.1 million jobs.

In Vermont, the shortfall was about 6600 jobs. (Economic Policy Institute.)

organized by a coalition of Middlebury-based groups, at least made a start in highlighting the presence of poverty in a largely affluent community lacking an identifiable lower-class neighborhood.

The seeming absence of poor people in the elite college town is “an illusion,” according to Donna Bailey, co-director of the Addison County Parent/Child Center. “Affordable housing here is done in good taste.”

Poverty may be more readily apparent in rural parts of Addison County and in communities such as Vergennes, Bailey suggested. “I see people throughout the county desperate for housing — much more so now than a few years ago. The homeless shelter is always full,” she noted.

802.865.0068 Burlington, Vermont www.straycatflowers.com

Three young mothers who meet the federal standard for impoverishment told their stories to the mainly gray-haired summit audience gathered in Middlebury’s American Legion hall on a recent Friday morning. The women gave candid accounts of personal despair and humiliation.

Thousands of “working poor” Vermonters are in similar straits, Hoffer pointed out in a presentation at the poverty summit. A consultant based in Burlington, Hoffer has served as the research engine behind the Vermont drive to establish a “livable wage” that would enable working people to escape poverty. The campaign to make all jobs pay livable wages “has shifted the focus away from charity to a fundamental principle,” Hoffer said — “namely, that if you go to work every day and play the game, you ought to be able to support yourself and your family.”

The plight of the working poor was further addressed at a weeklong Middlebury College symposium organized in conjunction with the poverty summit. Students heard from one Vermonter who became destitute after being laid off from a job that paid slightly more than the state’s $7 an hour minimum wage.

“It really opened students’ eyes to learn that even if you work hard, you can still be in poverty,” said Sarah

Yeah, I pay my bills, but it means scrounging, feeling hopeless, thinking I’m not going to get anywhere in life, not succeeding the way I thought I would when I was younger.

Kari Aube, a single mother of two young children, said her family scrapes by on a $570 monthly welfare check and $329 worth of Food Stamps. “Yeah, I pay my bills, but it means scrounging, feeling hopeless, thinking I’m not going to get anywhere in life, not succeeding the way I thought I would when I was younger,” Aube said.

Living in poverty means “not being able to get diapers at the end of the month,” added Tiffany Zappulla.

“It means having to wash your things in the bathtub and do other stuff that kind of affects your esteem.”

Misty Davidson, also the mother of two, said the assistance she receives “isn’t enough to take care of my personal needs, to keep myself wellmaintained.” Asked what she would like to see changed in the local area, Davidson said, “We need people to be more understanding of what young parents are going through. A lot of judgments get made about young parents in this community who are on welfare. It’s not fair to us.”

Each of the women also described aspirations for a better life for herself and her children.

“I would like to do early childhood education,” said Aube. “I’d like to try to make things better for children with disabilities and learning problems. I had those, and the school system was really hard on me. I know it would be a lot of work and that I’d have to go to college and even graduate school, but I’m willing to do it.”

Zappulla said she worked as a licensed nurse assistant at Helen Porter Hospital in Middlebury until an onthe-job injury put her on the disability rolls. Even when she was earning $9.25 an hour at the hospital, however, “We were still poor,” Zappulla said.

Johnson, Middlebury College’s Americorps-VISTA representative.

“Many were surprised to realize that if you pull yourself up by getting a job, you can lose your [state and federal] benefits and fall back down.”

Those left indigent as a result of job loss or other exigency are said to be experiencing “situational poverty.”

The term is used in contrast to “generational poverty” — a condition that, according to Bailey of the Parent/Child Center, applies to each of the single mothers who spoke at the poverty summit.

“I had a rough childhood,” Kari Aube said, recalling that she did not begin seeing the classroom blackboard clearly until her junior year of high school, when she finally got eyeglasses. “Now I’m trying to prevent my own children from having a rough childhood.”

But young mothers like those speaking at the Middlebury forum find it hard to break the poverty cycle, given that the men who fathered their children are either absent or uninvolved. Two of the three women said their ex-partners are evading or ignoring orders that they pay child support, while the third has a man at home who is “choosing not to take part” in providing for her children.

Some women in these situations also develop a fatalistic outlook and a habit of dependency that can make them virtually unemployable. One of the mothers at the forum said, for example, that she refuses to work at a gas station convenience store because such a job does not pay enough and would be an affront to her self-image.

workers, administrators and outreach specialists provide services to hundreds of low-income families in Addison County. The Middlebury center, the oldest of 16 such facilities around the state, has played an important part in reducing the teenage pregnancy rate in the county, according to Bailey.

Vermont has the lowest percentage of teen births of any state, and Addison’s rate is the lowest among the state’s 14 counties. Nationally, Bailey notes, about 50 percent of teenage parents become teenage parents a second time, while the figure for Addison County is 8 percent.

About 30 families receive intensive assistance at the Parent/Child Center, a light-filled, homey facility tucked discreetly into a suburban-style neighborhood just off Route 7. The mothers — and occasional fathers — who come to the center daily are required to work in the kitchen or assist in other ways as a precondition for receiving in-house services, including their children’s participation in play groups.

“The focus here is on respect — respecting yourself and respecting others,” Bailey explains. “The staff tries to build a community that everyone can share in equally.

It’s about creating the kind of life we want people to become accustomed to.”

The center is not about infinite tolerance for its clients’ behavior.

Services are offered only to the first two children in a family, Bailey notes. “We build in a lot of incentives concerning readiness for having a family. We offer gift certificates for vasectomies and tubal ligations, and a lot of time is spent driving back and forth to Planned Parenthood.

This is a sort of mini-China,” Bailey says, regarding the center’s emphasis on limiting family size.

Poverty summit organizers expect the event to result in both concrete benefits and the more nebulous outcome of heightened community awareness. One potentially profound development is Middlebury College’s decision to devote more of its resources to local antipoverty projects.

The college’s March 7-12 symposium on global, national and state dimensions of poverty was designed to link with the issues and initiatives discussed at the daylong summit, which was co-sponsored by the college’s Alliance for Civic Engagement. The school decided to deepen its involvement with local institutions such as the Parent/Child Center before finalizing plans to institute a minor in poverty studies. Absent such a framework, a college with a $700 million-plus endowment might run the risk of self-parody by instructing its students in the problems of the underprivileged. “We wanted to have the event come first,” says Johnson, the Americorps-VISTA representative, “because otherwise there might be a sense in the community of, ‘Who are we to be studying poverty?’”

Townsfolk had already begun to change their attitudes toward the college, says Tiffany Sargent, director of the student community-service program. “The community looks at the college and sees real wealth, but we have many students who don’t fall into that category,” she says. “More people in the community have come to understand that, and there’s also a greater willingness on both sides to work together.” 쩾

Since 1996, Good News Garage has been accepting old, used and run-down automobiles, repairing them, and then giving them to low-income individuals and families at minimal cost.

Likewise, donors have long taken advantage of the generous tax break provided under federal law, which allowed them to deduct the full market value of the car on their federal income taxes.

And therein lies the rub.

Charitable car donations proved to be such moneymakers that in recent years other nonprofit groups have jumped on the bandwagon. Good News Garage,

But on October 22, 2004, President Bush signed into law “The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” a business-tax bill that also closed some of the loopholes in the federal tax code. One of its provisions ended the sketchy practice of people donating nearly worthless old heaps to charity and then claiming thousands of dollars in deductions on their income taxes.

effect on January 1, limits the amount of a deduction to the price the vehicle fetches at auction or its true appraised value.

Few people realize, however, that the new law exempts lowincome car ownership (LICO) groups such as Good News Garage from the deduction limits. So Vermonters who donate their old cars to Good News Garage can still claim the vehicle’s full bluebook value on their tax returns.

Unfortunately, many stories about the new law in the mainstream press, including USA Today and Forbes magazine, overlooked that small but significant exemption. As a result, since the beginning of January, legitimate LICO charities around the country, including Good News Garage, have seen their auto donations sputter and stall.

Carmen George, marketing assistant and development coordinator for Good News Garage in Burlington, explains that their operation is a seasonal business.

Typically, donations spike during the December holidays, then slack off through the winter, when many old vehicles are buried in the snow. Nevertheless, she says that donations still appear to be down by about 50 percent over last year.

Come spring, that will be bad news for the dozens of low-income families who would otherwise benefit from these refurbished rides.

“Seventy-five percent of the people who get cars from Good News Garage are off welfare within a year,” George points out. “When you look at the return that’s available for communities and the state, then you see how important it is to keep this program going.” m

ermonters really get their Eire up this time of year. From Burlington’s Irish Heritage Festival to the S.D. Ireland cement-truck convoy to green beer at happy hour, it seems everyone enjoys St. Patrick’s Day STORY even if they can’t claim ancestry from the KATRINA Emerald Isle. The best part of this celebraVANTYNE tion, arguably, is the music — for instance, Irish-music “godfather” Tommy Makem at Burlington City Hall Auditorium last Sunday, and Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill at the Flynn this Thursday.

Whether you play or just like to listen, there’s nothing quite like an Irish music session. The appeal of these tunes is truly timeless, and so is the thrill of not knowing what will happen. Case in point: Wednesday nights at Burlington’s Radio Bean. For more than four years this cozy coffeeshop/club has hosted some of the best session players this side of Lake Champlain. Every week musicians muster their valor and polish their chops, sharing tunes with each other and anyone within earshot. However, the music they play is

Playing in a session is like speaking a language known only to the musicians, but the sound can be interpreted and enjoyed by all.

But long after the big acts pack up their tin whistles and go home, locals will still be fiddling around: Every week, somewhere in Vermont, you can find an Irish or other traditional music session. This is “not a gig or a formal performance,” explains Irish fiddler Sarah Blair of Montpelier. “It is basically an impromptu gathering of musicians who play tunes together, typically in the same genre.”

Blair has played in and hosted such gatherings around New England since 1992.

not rehearsed, and it’s quite possible that some of them have never played together before.

Though a Celtic session is not the same as a performance, a player can still experience stage fright. My first time fiddling at one of these things, not so long ago, I was terrified. Would I be good enough? Would I know all the songs? Would I be able to keep up? Would I be accepted into the group? Like any other “first,” your debut in

you can barely catch your breath, never mind figure out what’s being played. But no matter how many songs you know, it is important to know the “right” ones. Each session usually has its own commonly played repertoire.

“If you are new to the session scene, the best thing to do is to go to a local session, and sit and listen first to get a feel for the vibe they are creating,” advises Blair. “Record the session and learn the tunes that appeal to you and sound familiar . . . This is a great way to learn.” Different sessions in varying genres expect different skill levels, too,

Info, 244-0808.

Once you get past your fears, the energy created by a session is almost inexplicable to anyone outside the group. It’s a lift in the music when everyone comes together — the tunes are in perfect sync and the sound intensifies. “When things are going well and you are creating that trance, you feel like you are a part of something,” says Scott Wilson, one of Burlington’s finest Irish banjo players.

“When you’re locked in with that group of people doing the same thing, it is really special.”

For a traditional musician, this is as good as it gets.

Though a session appears to be freeform and open to all, before they try to join in novices should know certain unwritten rules that help keep the music as pure and beautiful as it can be.

Most of the time a session has an official host, who may be paid by the venue owner; other times host responsibilities are assumed by “alpha” players — generally the most experienced musicians who know the most tunes. Their job is essentially one of quality control. “It is perfectly acceptable for the host to tell someone they cannot play if they are compromising the integrity of the music,” says Wilson. “A poor player can be very disruptive.”

Good session musicians know hundreds of tunes. For a newcomer this can be a bit disheartening; the tunes stream out one after another, sometimes so fast

so players should be able to find one that best fits their tastes and talents.

In a Cape Breton-style session, sometimes just one fiddler will play at a time with an accompanist. But in most other sessions the musicians sit in a circle, one person starts a tune, and everybody joins in. “The general aim of the session is to get the maximum number of musicians playing on the maximum number of tunes,” according to Barry Foy’s Field Guide to the Irish Music Session.

Perhaps it goes without saying that the most basic rule for musicians is to practice, practice, practice — before you show up for a public jam.

This communal music is certainly not a new idea. Traditional music has been passed down “by ear” for generations all over the world — that’s what made it traditional. The last 20 years has brought a huge resurgence of traditional Irish music thanks to bands such as The Chieftains and The Clancy Brothers and troupes such as Riverdance.

Clearly, Vermont has its own subculture of traditional musicians, eager to break out their instruments and share tunes amongst friends and strangers alike. Whether in barns or bars, on porches or stages, their common goal is to create music that inspires, transcends and just plain grooves. Even when it’s not St. Patrick’s Day. 쩾

THE ACTIVISTS/DICTATORS

BACK TO THE FUTURE Miles Davis had already changed the shape of jazz several times by 1970, but the release of his legendary Bitches Brew album gave to the world music beyond classification. Much has been made of Davis’ flirtation with rock and r&b styles, but the trumpeter/bandleader didn’t so much weave between genres as obliterate the distinctions between them, paving the way for an entire generation of boundary-busting artists.

A new documentary, Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue, captures this important period through interviews with band members and other musicians. Culminating in the full Isle of Wight festival performance from 1970, the documentary is a must-see for Davis aficionados. This month, you’ll have three chances to do so. Miles Electric will be shown as part of the Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier on Friday, March 18, at 8:45 p.m., Wednesday, March 23, at 4 p.m., and Friday, March 25, at 8:45 p.m.

I recently saw the film and was impressed with how much new footage it contains. Interviews with Davis alumni including Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock give a glimpse of what it was like to be involved in Miles’ musical mission. It’s also a treat to hear what the era’s pop cognoscenti have to say about the “Dark Prince.” Folk heroine Joni Mitchell — who knows a thing or two about genre hopping — recognized a kindred spirit in Davis, at least musically. “I don’t think Miles knew what to do with a woman besides take her to his lair,” she quips, before explaining how much she admired his penchant for creative change. The film also features commentary from Carlos Santana, whose own band influenced, and was influenced by, Miles.

The concert segment is stunning. Davis and co. took the stage just before sunset, immediately following Tiny Tim, who thankfully doesn’t come back out for a jam. The film looks and sounds terrific; it’s like being there, but without all the hippies. Well, at least when viewed in my apartment.

Miles and the gang seem like they’re picking up signals from another dimension, as notes and rhythms tumble and spin, held together by some strange centrifugal force. It’s sort of the musical equivalent of watching clothes in a dryer — chaotic, colorful and altogether hypnotic. Tickets to the screening can be purchased online at http://www.focusfilm.net or by phone at 262-3456.

RENT TO OWN THE CHOSEN ONES OK, I admit I can be fickle, but when I hear a group I really like, I just have to tell people about it. Sometimes I’m even moved to write a few sentences. Some quality local bands are popping up lately, and my favorites of the week are The Activists/Dictators.

I caught these guys last Thursday at Club Metronome’s second 105.9 WOMM-FM benefit and have been babbling about them ever since. Featuring Construction Joe’s David Kamm as well as Tom Lawson of The Pants, Activists/Dictators are a sardonic rock ’n’ roll marvel. Lawson plays bass and Kamm acoustic guitar; both guys share vocal duties. Drum genius Simon Plumpton and keyboardist/noise technician Sam Coffey flesh out the lineup.

So what does the music sound like? Well, it’s cerebral, hook-filled and incredibly funny, to say the least.

Lawson’s polyrhythmic vocal arrangements and Kamm’s unconventional guitar playing at times reminded me of their old bands, but The Activists/Dictators have a musical language all their own. Still, their sound is tough to categorize. I personally think they exist somewhere in the million or so miles between Devo and the Violent Femmes.

Herb Van Der Pol of kooky rockers The Jazz Guys puts it this way: “Our band is like Family Circus, but they’re Calvin and Hobbes.” Does that help?

Lawson takes long breaks between songs, targeting the audience, the sponsors, the club, rock bands and himself in uproarious bits slightly too well mannered to be called tirades. “This song was written by a dead lady,” he said before one tune. “David’s grandmother. With whom I had a brief . . . fling.” I guess we can add stand-up comedy to Lawson’s list of talents.

Still, none of the jokes would matter if the songs weren’t so damn good. And there are a lot of ’em, too — probably ’cause they’re so short. No extendo-jamming here, kids; just punchy little tunes bursting with eccentric charm.

Now go see them, please. Oh, and Activist/Dictators, if you’re reading this, hurry up and record an album, or I’ll start illegally bootlegging your shows.

Most folks are probably aware that the Eclipse Theater in Waitsfield has, in the words of property owner Chris Jones, “officially closed as a full-time bar and lounge.” Management and financial disagreements with former business partner Peter Swaine have been cited as the main reason Jones pulled the plug, but the good news is that the venue isn’t completely defunct. In fact, Jones is working hard to ensure a “high definition” concert hall and cinema will continue in the Mad River Valley.

The Eclipse is currently for sale “on a casually marketed basis,” but is available for rental for concerts and special events. According to Jones, the objective is “to open the venue up to regional promoters and artistic event organizers as an incredibly affordable multi-media rental facility.”

While nothing is yet official, interested parties have already emerged. “There has been plenty of activity and correspondence in regards to leasing the venue out long-term, which suggests that my ideal tenants could board the mothership as early as spring,” Jones says.

In the meantime, his production company, Seeds of Song, will host “weekend destination feature concerts,” including a March 18 performance by reggae superstars Sister Carol and Dezarie & Ikhaba. Jones is also busy putting together the May Rain Blues festival lineup; the Charlie Hunter Trio, Savoy Brown, Rory Block, Alvin Youngblood, Kim Simmonds and Seth Yacovone are already booked.

To purchase tickets to upcoming events, or to inquire about renting the facility, call 4347650, or point your browser to http://www.eclipsetheater.com.

PAUL ASBELL, ROOTS & BRANCHES: FURTHER ADVENTURES IN STEEL-STRING AMERICANA

ORCHESTRA BAOBAB, SPECIALIST IN ALL STYLES

(Busy Hands Records, CD)

(World Circuit/Nonesuch, CD) Orchestra Baobab is one of world music’s most celebrated groups; its Cuban-tinged, African-rooted tunes have delighted audiences since the ’70s. Named after a Senegal club where they were once the house band, the group’s popularity has since spread far beyond its native land.

Their latest release, Specialist in All Styles, finds the 11-piece act in top form. The band’s infectious vocal melodies, seductive guitar licks and hypnotic percussion combine West African tradition with spicy Latin flourishes.

Cuban music has been heard on African airwaves since the ’40s, with a great deal of the music brought to Senegal by sailors and merchant marines. Over subsequent decades, the two traditions became inextricably linked. Orchestra Baobab’s irresistibly vibrant sound is the result of this cultural cross-pollination.

Featuring six singers, two horn players, two guitarists and a fully loaded rhythm section, Orchestra Baobab are a musical juggernaut. Special guests include Buena Vista Social Club alum Ibrahim Ferrer and African superstar Youssou N’Dour, who also helped produce. With all the talent here, it’s no wonder that Specialist is one of the finest discs you’re likely to come across in the world-music bin.

The CD kicks off with the ska-flavored “Bul Ma Miin,” which gallops and sways playfully. According to the liner notes, the tune’s lyrics are said to call for respect and open communication between generations.

I’ll have to take their word for it. The language barrier is no hindrance to enjoying Barthelemy Attisso’s nimble guitar work, though. One of the best players on any continent, his solo twists and dips, while Issa Cissokho punctuates the groove with rich sax lines.

“On Verra Ça” is another highlight; the cut’s loping tempo is driven by hypnotic congas and call-andresponse vocals. Here, the band’s African heritage is brought to the fore. Attisso offers another amazing six-string soliloquy, with spidery licks and expert pacing.

Ferrer is characteristically soulful on “Hommage A Tonton Ferrer,” which I assume is named in tribute to the singer. A terrific marriage of Cuban crooning and African rhythms, Ferrer’s vocals brilliantly fit the tune’s dark tone and slippery pulse.

Fans of Orchestra Baobab probably won’t need much convincing, but those who want to know what the fuss is all about should experience Specialist’s exotic charms. This is one band that’s worth every bit of acclaim they get. Catch them live at the Higher Ground Ballroom on Tuesday, March 22.

CASEY REA

On Roots & Branches, Paul Asbell’s second collection of gourmet guitar pieces, the well-known Burlington axeman further verifies his place as Chittenden County’s John Fahey. The disc is a wonderful follow-up to 2000’s Steel-String Americana; the originals and classics here are played on his collection of snazzy, exquisite-sounding acoustic and electric guitars.

The new CD is dedicated to Asbell’s late father, Bernie, who was not only a well-respected musician and writer, but also a prodigious collector of early blues and jazz recordings. Through these Paul was introduced to some of the material he recorded for Roots & Branches, so we listeners owe the elder Asbell our thanks, too.

While he certainly has the technical ability to go it alone, Asbell brought in some friends to spice up a few of the disc’s 14 cuts. Both “Parker’s Mood” and “Hideaway” feature some fine down-and-dirty blues harp from Howard Levy. Joel Smirnoff, violinist with the Julliard String Quartet, fiddles about and adds extra class to Asbell’s take on Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin’.”

It sounds like Asbell had a ball with the vocals on “Jesus on the Mainline” and “Fishin’ Blues,” numbers most often associated with Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal, respectively. Melvin Jackson’s “Gambling Blues” and Jelly Roll Morton’s “Windin’ Boy” feature more singing.

Asbell might be having a bit too much fun to be a convincing blues vocalist, though — much of the underlying darkness that makes the blues the blues simply isn’t there. But you can practically catch the light glinting off of his guitar work, and that’s Asbell’s real claim to fame.

In the tradition of Stefan Grossman, John Renbourn and other guitar pedagogues, Asbell has graciously provided track-by-track information on his website about which guitar he’s using and whether alternate tunings were employed.

Switching from tasty slide to flat and finger-picking styles with ease, Asbell always sounds clean and meticulous. This new CD showcases an accomplished musician who loves to play, loves his music, and knows and respects his roots.

OPENINGS

Barn to Be Wild

T EXHIBIT “Honoring the Barn,” a group show in multiple media. Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green, Shelburne.

Through April.

ARTWORK “Sabra’s Barn” by Leonard Duffy

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he new Gallery on the Green exhibition, entitled “Honoring the Barn,” is about more than rural architecture. Each of the nine artists in the show looked beyond cupolas and rustic gables to produce images that transcend specific places. The exhibiting artists include five painters, two photographers, a printmaker and a ceramist. Many of the show’s images are primarily abstract, highlighting the geometry and simplicity of barns. Others are evocative of memories and moods, presenting barns as poetic structures rather than merely bovine domiciles.

Anne Cady’s oils belong to the evocative camp. The title “To Be There Again on My Golden Horse II” suggests she is recapturing a memory. The painting is a collection of connected structures, including a barn with cupola, painted in an almost folksy style. The New Haven artist’s buildings are bright red with white trim, but their shadows are layers of color that add up to black.

“Barre Barn” is one of two large-scale drawings in graphite by Vergennes artist Denis Versweyveld. A pale sun hangs behind a barn’s roofline and hay is heaped up in the foreground with decisive strokes of silvery graphite. His “Grove Street Barn” is equally well executed, with a composition situated along a sloping horizontal axis that adds movement to the drawing.

Connecticut artist S. Chandler Kissell works in watercolors and oil. “The Red Tractor (Tinmouth, Vermont)” is a golden-yellow canvas of a decaying barn on top of a hill.

A shadowy tractor is nestled inside the barn. “Checkered Collars (Whiting, Vermont)” is a loose watercolor of twin silos. It’s beautifully painted in nearly monochromatic pale blues and gray.

David Orser of Plainfield, Maine, describes his earthy stoneware ceramics as “a melting pot of ideas and techniques.” His pieces are barn forms but often vessels as well.

“Barn w/Lid and Interior Maze” has a secret compartment in its roof; and his round “Hancock Shaker Barn” is actually a lidded bowl.

Marshall Webb grew up at Shelburne Farms. He describes his family homestead as having “some of the most incredible barns in the world,” and that isn’t hyperbole.

Webb’s photography is almost as incredible — he’s an

adept colorist. In “Full Moon Rising,” highly saturated hues of indigo and mauve creep across a flock of sheep, while the Adirondacks appear purple in the distance.

“South Tower Detail” is a corner of the Tudor-styled Farm Barn at Shelburne Farms. Dark exterior timbers and olivegreen details contrast with its ruddy masonry.

The other photographer in the show is Charlotte artist Gary Hall. His “Intersection” is a black-and-white giclée print focusing on the lines and shapes of a barn’s roof and silos. Values are smoothly modulated throughout the image.

Leonard Duffy of Hinesburg is an abstractionist working in the tradition of Milton Avery, producing inventive images in flat spaces using a limited array of colors. In his “Sabra’s Barn,” patterns of jagged lines create a contrapuntal rhythm against hulking triangles and rectangles. Duffy skillfully alters warm and cool whites in the snowy roofs, and grays in the negative space of the sky.

Ferrisburgh artist Judith Rey is even more minimal; her paintings are soft-edged geometric abstractions. “Red Barn #2” is a strong abstraction with three horizontal bands of red and grays and a vertical line of green at the left. The title indicates the subject is a barn, but by any name this is a successful piece with a shallow space and a warm surface.

Michael Cassidy’s barns are the most literal of the exhibition. He works with waterless lithography, which gives great character to the quality of his lines. His “Before Sunset” is a precisionist rendering of an abandoned barn.

Cassidy’s eye for detail includes attention to light, as evidenced by the long shadows drifting over an overgrown pasture. “Along the Road” has a two-lane road in front of a decaying barn with gaps in its walls. On its roof Cassidy has created the textures of rusted tin.

The most common barn type in New England is known as the English barn — it has a straight-edged roof and doors on the side. Bulky Dutch barns are the classic “barnshaped” structures prevalent in most other parts of the country, but Vermont has some of those, too, as well as round barns. This exhibit shows all three, while also “honoring” the metaphysical kind. m

Born Into Brothels HHHH ana Briski and Ross Kauffman may dedicate their Oscarwinning documentary to the Dalai Lama, but the person they really have to thank for their film’s recognition and box-office viability is Michael Moore. Had he not misread the mood of the Academy and yanked Fahrenheit 9/11 CLASS from the Best Documentary category so it could be eligible PICTURE for a Best Picture nomination, odds are few of us would Briski’s Oscar-winning even have Born Into Brothels on our movie-going radar. doc offers an unforThe film offers an affecting look at living conditions in gettable portrait of Calcutta’s squalid red-light district and chronicles the relathe oldest profession’s youngest victims. tionship Briski, an American photojournalist, developed with a number of children living there during the period when she was working in the area. A few blocks of rundown businesses and apartment buildings separated from the rest of the city by a series of sinister alleyways, the district is a hellhole of unimaginable filth, brutality, poverty and degradation.

Though her original intention was to document the lives of prostitutes, Briski soon altered her mission to bettering the prospects of some of their children. A number of them had taken to following her around and watching as she took pictures. She decided to try an experiment and purchased cameras for a group of them. Over the ensuing months, Briski taught the children the basics of photography and encouraged them to document the people and places that made up their strange universe.

The results were surprising in several respects. For one thing, the children came alive with a sense of purpose and value that most had not previously experienced. Life, we learn, has little to offer the offspring of Calcutta’s prostitutes. Most are uneducated, many are abused, and almost all are doomed to join the cycle that claimed their older siblings, parents and grandparents.

The film features profiles of each of the children Briski worked with, and their stories are heartbreaking. One young girl was nearly sold by her father. Another confesses her fear of being forced to become part of “the line” in the

Z

SHORTS very near future if a miracle doesn’t save her. One boy’s mother is burned to death by her pimp.

Needless to say, miracles are in short supply here, but Briski manages a few. When the quality of the kids’ photographs turns out to be astonishingly high and the young artists prove bright and articulate beyond her expectation, Briski launches a personal campaign to get them into good boarding schools, thereby providing a ticket out of the district and a shot at a life of dignity.

That proves infinitely more difficult than it sounds.

Everything seemed to work against her: Prostitution is illegal in India and boarding schools do not routinely admit children whose parents are criminals. Several mothers refused to allow their children to leave, since the kids performed menial jobs that brought a little money into the household. The paperwork alone would have driven a less committed person to suicide. The country’s bureaucracy is as circular, surreal and absurd as anything in Kafka.

Briski sees it through, though. In the end, there may be almost as much tragedy as triumph, but the handful of kids who make it out of the brothels certainly would not have done so any other way. It’s a moving story, artfully told, and a reminder that we should be our brother’s keeper far more often.

On the other hand, I’m not sure it really is the best example of documentary filmmaking to hit theaters in the past year. Even taking Moore’s film out of the equation, I can think of at least half a dozen titles that impressed me as much or more, including Control Room, My Architect, Touching the Void and The Fog of War. Born Into Brothels works principally on an emotional level as opposed to an artistic or intellectual one, and in that respect it pretty much had the field to itself. Anyone who sees it is certain to remember the faces of those children long after everything else about the film has been forgotten. m

So it’s ironic that Martin Scorsese’s screen portrait of him is the least audacious and adventurous movie he’s ever made.

SEVEN DAYS

MOOLAADE

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Global and Local had better look elsewhere.

Like Moolaade, perhaps? It’s the tale of another fractured community — in Africa rather than Europe — by octogenarian filmmaker Ousmane Sembene. The veteran Senegalese auteur focuses his camera on a Burkina Faso village that adheres to the custom of female circumcision.

His upstart heroine, Colle, has not allowed her grown daughter to be mutilated and gives safe haven to four prepubescent girls who have escaped from a ceremony of ritual cutting.

Initially Colle finds very little support for her rebellion, which involves the declaration of a protective spell called a moolaade. That semi-sacred designation keeps her compound offlimits for the red-gowned priestesses who carry out the butchery. They’re in league with the male elders in a patriarchal society that gives men unquestioned authority over their multiple wives. But Sembene, known as a feminist, juxtaposes positive traditions with 21st-century enlightenment in the battle between hope and despair.

Hope and despair also fuel the yinyang philosophy of Wilbur (Wants to Kill Himself), Lone Scherfig’s black comedy that manages to celebrate the human condition. Set in contemporary Glasgow, the picture observes how Scottish gloom is relieved by the national penchant for ironic wit. The commonsensical Harbour repeatedly saves his younger brother Wilbur, a handsome devil

with suicidal tendencies. This fraternal pas de deux leaves them little time to keep the bookstore they’ve inherited afloat.

This intense equation changes when a single mother named Alice and her young daughter come into their lives. The ensuing tangle is very different from the standard movie love triangle. Scherfig doesn’t let strong emotions become sentimental mush.

Gallows humor can be found in other festival fare as well, according to Winston: Kitchen Stories concerns a Swedish researcher studying Norwegian bachelors — “Prairie Home Companion” alert! Crying Ladies, from the Philippines, depicts professional mourners among Manila’s Chinese population. The Beauty Academy of Kabul is a nonfiction take on Afghan women, both émigrées and those who endured Taliban rule. This film opens the extravaganza and will be followed by a post-screening chat with the producer on March 18 and 19.

The fest, which is presented by the nonprofit Focus on Film, always leaves room for live action. “A Conversation With David Thomson”

will introduce the noted critic whose work appears in The New York Times and Salon. A panel discussion, “The Write Stuff: Writing for the Screen,” is a free session for aspiring wordsmiths or the just plain curious.

Vermont projects are invariably part of the mix. The 2005 gathering will include a collection of shorts made by teens in the Northeast Kingdom-based Fledgling Films program; Sacrificial Lambs by Ed Dooley, about a Warren couple whose sheep were seized in the 2001 Mad Cow Disease furor; and The Unbroken Circle, Mark Greenberg’s 1985 look at the state’s country-music scene.

On the other end of the artistic spectrum: The Ramones. End of the Century, which profiles the pioneering punk band, marks the festival’s first attempt at a “late-night” show. In easygoing Montpelier, 10:45 is apparently what passes for the midnight hour. m For more information on the Green Mountain Film Festival, call 262-3456 after March 11, or visit http://www.focusonfilm.net.

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.

GOOSE DOWN can refer to feathers or a type of assault.

Colin Farrell is a new TYRONE POWER, but with edge.

MUSTARD AND MAYO may not be mutually exclusive.

Philip Roth left CLARE BLOOM with a bad taste in her mouth.

The CORK & BOARD is a Mecca for lovers of red glassware.

A man of solitude, GALWAY KINNELL says no to groupies.

Nobody seems to talk about JOHN KERRY any more.

In his spare time, DR. KILDARE was an avid Judy Garland fan.

Billy Bob’s hobby was smashing WATERFORD CRYSTAL. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS CLOVER. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47A. 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: Let’s all get wasted on green beer!

W

hen Savoy Theater owner Rick Winston talks about “our kind of movie,” he means a typical Green Mountain Film Festival selection with “humanist leanings.” The annual Montpelier event, this year from March 18 to 27, will showcase 30 such features, shorts and documentaries that explore almost two-dozen diverse cultures. From Iran to Argentina to Senegal to Bhutan, this indie endeavor traverses a planet with an infinite number of poignant, or playful, stories.

“They tell you something about the world outside yourself,” suggests Winston, whose art house is a festival venue. “You really feel like your eyes have been opened and you see life differently.”

Indeed. Holy Cross, a fact-based Irish drama about a 2001 conflict, may provide a new understanding of the country’s age-old “Troubles.”

Director Mark Brozel’s BBC production offers an unflinching examination of people who prefer segregation to coexistence in a working-class North Belfast neighborhood. The flashpoint is a Catholic school located where Protestants constitute the majority.

Viewers witness the tragedy from the perspective of two 10-year-old girls with different religious backgrounds who live across the street from each other but have never met.

Their families are caught in a vortex of bitterness, hatred and violence.

EXTREME

DELICIOUSNESS! THAI RED CURRY ROASTED SALMON WITH BOK CHOY 2 whole baby bok choy 2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (check our ethnic section for cans of the wonderful stuff) 1 13 1/2- to 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh lemongrass or 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fish sauce 4 6-ounce salmon fillets In a good-sized pot of boiling, salted water, cook the bok choy until it is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, drain and set aside. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the curry paste and stir for 30 seconds.

Then add the coconut milk, chopped lemongrass (or grated lemon peel) and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Simmer gently until the mixture is slightly thickened and reduced to 1 cup. This should take about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the curry sauce aside.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, and add to skillet. Cook salmon 2 minutes per side, turning carefully. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the salmon until it is opaque in center, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and sauté until it begins to brown in spots, about 4 minutes. Drizzle the bok choy with the remaining 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Bring that wonderful curry sauce to a simmer. When it is warmed, ladle it onto 4 serving plates, and then arrange 1 salmon fillet and a small mound of bok choy atop curry sauce on each plate and serve. Serve this amazing curry with jasmine rice and a sprinkling of roasted peanuts. A bowl of fresh pineapple chunks or mango makes a fantastic addition. Serves 4.

Is there a difference between FRESH and FRESHENED fish?

YES!! We sell FRESH fish, never freshened. When you see fish marked “FRESHENED” it means it’s been frozen, thawed and “refreshed” often using a chemical bath.

SWEET TWEETS

Spring is coming. Really. You can taste winter’s end at any of a number of maple-motivated events. And if you’re outdoors and tuned in, you can hear it in bird song, especially if you’re at the Green Mountain Audubon Center. For a generation, the naturenurturing nonprofit has been helping visitors tap into the season with sugar-bush tours, sugaring demos and sugar-on-snow served the time-tested way: with doughnuts, hot drinks and dill pickles. This year, they team up with the Birds of Vermont Museum to promote the sugar bush’s value to ovenbirds, veeries and other avian species. These long-flyers flock back to the north woods from points south when warmer days approach. Just like a lot of snowbird Vermonters.

AUDUBON SUGAR-ONSNOW Saturday and Sunday, March 19 & 20, Green Mountain Audubon Center, Huntington, 1-4 p.m. Free. Info, 434-3068.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@NORTH SHORE COMEDY HIGHER GROUND, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 10 P.M. Heckling is risky business at comedy shows, especially when the comedians take off the kid gloves. Still, the time-honored tradition keeps both performer and audience on their toes. That was certainly the case when Boston’s North Shore Comedy crew rolled into the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge last weekend.

Crowd and comics gave as good as they got in a show that felt like hanging out in your living room with 100 or so friends.

Host Rob Steen’s act consisted largely of “great to be in Vermont” riffs and self-deprecating references to his undersized genitalia. Things got edgier when a young Castleton College student and his date were drawn into the act. Steen’s target took jokes about his intelligence in stride. Then again, maybe he just didn’t get them. “You hit the nail point on that one,” another audience member said after a particularly potent zinger. “Hit the nail point?” Steen fired back.

“How big is your trailer?”

The night belonged to Kelly McFarland, the only gal in the group. The 32-yearold comic slayed the audience with so-pathetic-they’re-funny anecdotes and rapid-fire cultural commentary. Especially amusing were her bits about cubicle living. “I’m only 5 feet tall,” she said. “They put me in one of those things and it’s like I’m somebody’s pet. I can’t see over the top. They just peek in at me like a crib. And the walls are all soft so I don’t knock my little head while it’s still shaping.”

McFarland was interrupted during her “can’t stand my job” routine by a female audience member who happened to know the name of McFarland’s workplace.

“What, did you fucking follow me up here?” she asked before taking the offender down with a barrage of razor-sharp improvisations.

But it was all in good fun, and the crowd seemed to revel in the interactivity once they got comfortable. With another winter weather advisory in effect that night, who could blame ’em for needing a little time to warm up?

STRINGS ATTACHED

What to do for St Patrick’s Day? Celtic fiddler Martin Hayes and guitarist Dennis Cahill stand out among this week’s myriad Irish offerings because they’re “musicians’ musicians,” says the Lane Series’ Natalie Neuert. “Their ability to improvise makes them sound like they’re one instrument.”

Hayes, who grew up in County Clare, and Chicago-bred Cahill forego flashy jigs for a sparer, more nuanced approach. But they do up-tempo, too. When Hayes gets going, The New Yorker notes, “you might think it’s the very banshee he’s fleeing.” The evening gets extra juice from Solas founder and concertina-master John Williams, and vocalist Aine Meenaghan, who sings in the traditional Sean-nos style, in Gaelic. That’s a far cry from green beer.

FUNNY ZONE

Chicago’s improv comedy troupe The Second City sounds like it has a Big Apple inferiority complex. But its cast of comic virtuosos qualify the club as a joker’s Julliard. Founded in 1959 in a converted Chinese laundry, it’s gone on to graduate a generation of loony luminaries who made it big: John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy and Martin Short, later followed by Mike Myers, Chris Farley and Julia Louis Dreyfus. The ensemble’s current show teams up six comedians, an accompanist and a sound-and-lighting director for a two-act revue. Expect gut-busting sketch comedy, songs and improv, but be forewarned: The more high-octane skits aren’t designed for delicate ears. Duck and cover!

THE SECOND CITY Friday, March 18, Barre Opera House, 8 p.m. $10-26. Info, 476-8188.

Recruiting Participants for Research Project University of Vermont Research Study

COPING WITH HIV & AIDS The University of Vermont’s Department of Psychology is conducting a study on coping with HIV and AIDS. The study is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health.

Meteorologist Mark Breen spends the daylight hours scanning satellite data and weather phenomena.

He’s also the director of the Planetarium at St. Johnsbury’s Fairbanks Museum, and regularly points out constellations in the museum’s faux sky show. At a dinner lecture, Breen the astronomer discusses what we now know about planets in our solar system and shares the latest images from NASA, including recent data from the Cassini-Huygens probe dispatched to Saturn and its moons. Looks like we can see a long way further than we used to.

CROSS PURPOSES

Sticks and stones can break bones, but names can also hurt. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why CVU High School is discharging its Crusader mascot come fall.

Two separate lectures this week shed historic light on the debate the name change has sparked. At Temple Sinai, Professor Marina Rustow of Emory University makes the case that neither the 19th-century romantic take on Crusaders as noble fighters, nor their later vilification as blood-thirsty zealots tells the full story. At St. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, UVM Professor Emeritus Alfred Andrea shows how the Crusadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cred has been spun to suit shifting needs. Neither expert, however, promises to suggest a controversy-free replacement for the Hinesburg high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmeted icon.

CRUSADER TALKS Marina Rustow, Sunday, March 20, Temple Sinai, South Burlington, 1 p.m. Free. Info, 8625125. Alfred Andrea, Wednesday, March 23, McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, Colchester, 4 p.m. Free. Info, 654-2536.

free will astrology MARCH 17-23

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19):

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Many supposedly scientific debunkers deride astrology but have done almost no research on the subject. That’s one reason why these ill-informed “skeptics” spread so many ignorant lies. For instance, they say that astrologers think the stars and planets emit invisible beams that affect people’s lives. The truth is, most astrologers don’t believe any such thing. Is there any way in which you engage in behavior similar to the lazy debunkers, Aries? What subjects do you speak about with authority even though you really don’t know much about them? Do you ever spout opinions about situations you’ve never experienced firsthand? Do you pass judgment on ideas you’ve never studied and people you’ve never spent time with?

We all do these things — I confess to being guilty of it myself — but this is your special time to make amends.

“All human beings should try to learn what they are running from, and to, and why,” said James Thurber. Judging from the astrological omens, Cancerian, I think this is the perfect time for you to take his advice very seriously.

You’re in position to see things that are normally invisible to you, including secrets you hide from yourself and truths you have studiously avoided knowing. Maybe you don’t think you’re telepathic, but I assure you that right now you at least have the power to read your own deep and mysterious mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In her

(Apr. 20-May 20): So begins the Potent Dreaming phase of the year for you, Taurus. In the coming weeks, the adventures you have while you sleep will be far more interesting than any movie you could see in a theater. Some of your dreams may be the nighttime equivalent of wild goose chases and shaggy dog stories, with no discernible plots or meaning. But the revelations you receive in others could change your life forever with useful lessons and brilliant insights. To help you remember these spiritual gifts from your subconscious mind, please keep a pen and notebook near your bed.

memoir Lipstick Jihad, Azadeh Moaveni describes life in Iran under the crushing oppression of its fundamentalist rulers. She says young people pursue an “‘as if ’ lifestyle,” pretending it’s permitted “to hold hands on the street, blast music at parties, speak your mind, challenge authority, take your drug of choice, wear too much lipstick.” It’s a strenuous game, requiring intricate strategies to circumvent the many prohibitions enforced by the morality police. I suggest that you take your cue from these covert freedom fighters, Leo. Start by identifying the big NO that constantly casts a shadow over your life. Does it come from voices inside your head or from external authorities? Live as if you were free to be yourself completely, without having to answer to your personal version of Iran’s dour mullahs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You can, of course, choose to ignore the invitations that life will offer you in the coming weeks. Having free will means you can always refuse to go with the cosmic flow. But if you would like to weave the threads of a higher destiny into the fabric of your humdrum routine, you should meditate on how you can be more of a leader. Are there ways you could energize a group or organization you’re part of? Are you ready to seize the initiative in one of your close relationships, shepherding it into a new era? Are you willing to summon the courage to rise above the hypnotic numbness of the daily grind, stretching your imagination to see the big picture?

“You can’t depend on your judgment,” said Mark Twain, “when your imagination is out of focus.” And since your imagination is more than a little fuzzy and aimless right now, Virgo, I recommend that you postpone decisions that would require you to have acute judgment. On the other hand, don’t get twisted out of shape about it. It’s not a big problem. All you have to do to sharpen up your imagination is expose it in a concentrated way to some great works of art or music or literature.

TAURUS

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some journalists have been expressing pious outrage about baseball players who may have enhanced their physical abilities with steroids. Next maybe they will turn their attention to computer pioneers whose revolutionary innovations in the ’70s and ’80s were spurred by their ingestion of psychedelic drugs; and musicians, writers, filmmakers, and actors whose creativity is primed by dope and booze; and politicians like the first President George Bush, who regularly took Halcion, a sleeping pill with side effects like amnesia, anxiety attacks, and paranoia; and the millions of average people who make life-changing decisions while in the grip of psychotropics like Prozac or that powerful drug, caffeine. What’s your performance-enhancing, mind-altering substance of choice, Libra? Whatever it is, this is the week you should fully acknowledge its impact on your destiny. Celebrate its gifts and analyze its downsides.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s a good time for you to think about your relationship to human beings who haven’t been born yet. Is there anything you can do to be more conscious about making your life a gift to the future? What might you create that would enhance the destinies of our descendents? How can you conduct yourself so that you will not only help preserve the wonders we live amidst, but actually enhance them? As you ponder your possible contributions — and maybe also take practical action to deepen your commitment to them — keep in mind this thought from Lewis Carroll: “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backward.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The transition you’ll soon be going through should be exceptionally dramatic and fun, if a bit abrupt.

You’ll be evolving from a slow, sleepy meander to a savvy, scintillating bolt. As you finish getting your psychic batteries recharged, you’ll accelerate quickly and be in sleek, fast motion before you know what’s happening. Bid goodbye to your sabbatical, Sagittarius; say “yow” to the brilliant, bracing adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): March 18 is Awkward Moments Day. It was created by the authors of the book Awkward Moments: Celebrating the Humor in Life’s Uncomfortable Situations. They tout the value of harnessing opportunities that open up when you or someone else does something embarrassing, clumsy, or clueless. I suggest you try exactly what they recommend, Capricorn.

More than any other sign of the zodiac, you now have the potential to take maximum advantage of everything that’s dicey, thorny and ticklish.

38 Main Street • Johnson, VT

18): A recent poll revealed that more and more people are enjoying oral sex.

In the last three years alone, the percentage has increased from 74 to 79 percent. For members of the Aquarian tribe, that figure is likely to zoom precipitously upward in the coming weeks, as will the sheer number of erotic encounters involving the lips and tongue. In fact, all activities involving pleasure with the mouth are likely to lead to success and happiness, including (but not limited to) gourmet eating, loud singing and wild talking. For extra credit, try combining two activities: gourmet eating and wild talking, for instance, or singing and oral sex.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Please read my Cancer horoscope this week. There I’ve quoted an interesting observation by the writer James Thurber, then added some related ideas of my own. In a sense, I’ve collaborated with Thurber. I’ve blended my mind with his, and together we have come up with counsel that includes both of our thoughts but offers wisdom that’s more than the sum of its parts. I suggest that you use this strategy in the coming week, Pisces. Choose people whose lives or work you admire, and work together to create synergies that draw on both their genius and yours.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, The other day I came to work and found on my desk an invitation from my supervisor, “Shirley,” to a sex-toy party. Several of the other women at my workplace — though not all — had also been invited, and much giggling ensued. My reaction, though, was acute embarrassment. I have socialized with Shirley outside the office, but don’t consider myself to be on sex-toy terms with her, or any of the other women involved. I’m no prude, or even a stranger to sex toys, but this isn’t an aspect of my life I want to share with my co-workers — or want them to share with me. How can I get out of this without coming off as the office nun? And am I over-reacting?

Cringing in Colchester Dear Cringing, Shirley may be your boss, but you’re under no obligation to attend this, or any other party, she might throw. Make other plans, and then politely decline. No explanation is needed. Even if you “plan” to stay home sorting rubber bands, that’s your business. As for “over-reacting,” if you’re breaking out in hives or hiding under your desk, there’s probably more at work here than simple discomfort. More likely, though, it’s Shirley who’s out of line.

Love, Lola

I have a lot of energy and will need positive outlets to be successful in my new home. I have had some training - I know 'sit', 'lie down', 'give paw', 'sit pretty', and 'speak'. I would enjoy continuing my education, especially walking on loose leash!
