voters aren’t all the same ones who approved the guideline. So whither now? I like the idea of a music shell on the waterfront. (Without the abomination of amplified music, or I withdraw support! Not on the waterfront!) Imagine in place of Moran a dome, serene and white, a distinctive icon for every guidebook and travel brochure. A peaked dome, like the small end of an eggshell. And in two halves: One, a music shell and open-air theater, facing southwest and favoring the lake. The other, a “lid� that revolves up and over the first, lowering to roof the audience from summer rain. Transparent, by the way. In winter, the entire structure is an exposition hall with a scenic vista, an auditorium, a playground, a jogging track. Or a skating rink, with the half-dome raised enough to provide some natural cooling. I’m in visionary mode; let the engineers fret over how to do it. Fred G. Hill BURLINGTON

unencumbered by auto, and enjoy a cold mug of stout. This practice also provides the additional dividend of fuel savings, which we hear local politicians tout as they pat themselves on the back in the name of “sustainable” communities. This would seem to me to be the ultimate win-win situation. Yet it seems that Bill Keogh thinks this practice of being awake past midnight and enjoying a stroll on Church Street automatically puts me into a category

known as a “drunk” — at least according to what he was reported to have stated, namely, “See what downtown is like at two o’clock in the morning on a warm June, July or August night. All those people have been out there drinking for two or three hours.” Since when does the councilor know for a fact the drinking patterns of every last individual who is strolling on Church Street at any given hour, whether it be in the a.m. or p.m.? Keogh is clearly biased, and

indeed has made an absurd, as well as dangerous, assumption, and I sincerely hope that the electorate sees his shenanigans on the liquor board as a misguided attempt to legislate morality in order to increase his political standing and currency. I, for one, will be watching this misguided miscreant and showing up at [Burlington] City Council meetings to address this issue. Jerry Trudell HARDWICK

SEEING RED

SOCIAL INSECURITY

Bill Keogh and a small group of others resent and openly object to night life in Burlington. To support this statement, we need look no further than last week’s Seven Days [“Razing the Bars,” March 9]. In that article, my name was mentioned twice . . . Over our five and a half years at Red Square, Bill tried everything in his power to make life hard for us. From violations for our lights being too low (Article 51), to being guilty of success and having too much fun (Article 42). Why did Mr. Bill try to make our life a living hell? We dared to ask questions, we challenged rules, and at times we even argued . . . God forbid. In Burlington, if you have a liquor license, you do not question Bill Keogh . . . After our liquor license was granted in 2003, Mr. Bill was very angry. He told us he was not through with us yet, and we were to be closed, shut down, finit . . . In the last issue of Seven Days, Bill was quoted as saying he hopes this will be his last year. I assure you there is no one keeping Bill in this position but Bill. Hopefully he will step down and we will still have a nightlife he can be angry about — but from home, not City Hall . . . Jack O’Brien

I wanted to say thank you to everyone at Seven Days for offering some local insight into this national “crisis” with Peter Freyne’s scoop on the situation in his February 9 column [“Inside Track”]. It saddens me to read about our own government lining up in support of Bush’s agenda to privatize what should be a guaranteed thing: Social Security benefits. It angers me even further that Barnett has a petition out instructing Vermonters to stand against their hometown favorites, Bernie and Pat. With reports of Republicans chanting “Hey, hey, ho ho, Social Security has got to go” circling through the media and appearing on CNN, I fervently hope that Seven Days will continue to keep Vermonters informed about this situation. I’ve read that Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security includes putting this money into the stock market. It is a “national crisis” indeed when our nation’s president thinks that a possibility of trouble 30 years down the road justifies gambling with the American people’s money today. Please continue to keep us posted. Brie Anne Hoblin WINOOSKI

“If we’re not Leunig’s people, who are?”

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

—Kathy O’Brien and Kate Kronk

Murder Relief gles dating scene was a factor” had been proven incorrect. Thanks, Chief. Wonder if that sound bite will make the 6 o’clock news? P.S. The apparent solving of the Winterbottom case leaves 25 unsolved murders in Vermont. Check http://www.dps. state.vt.us/ vtsp/homicide/ for details on the victims whose killers run free.

Moonie Returns — Fresh from his twoweek visit to Uruguay to visit daughter Jae Clavelle, Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle had a few choice words for yours truly Tuesday morning regarding last week’s “Inside Track.” Perfectly understandable that Mayor Moonie had a little steam to let off. After all, one might suggest we had written his political obituary. As you may recall, we broke the news that Democratic State Rep. John Tracy is a candidate for mayor. The election isn’t until next March, which made Tracy’s “leak” all the more interesting. John Boy says he’ll be a candidate regardless of incumbent Democratic Mayor Peter Clavelle’s plans. Mayor Moonie let us know he did not appreciate our characterization of his recent unsuccessful gubernatorial bid, in which he was trounced by Republican incumbent Jim Douglas. Clavelle insisted he’d “fought the good fight against long odds,” and “articulated an effective message.” Unfortunately, it got him just under 38 percent of the vote. Clavelle said he came home last weekend to two unexpected surprises. One was UVM beating Syracuse (Clavelle is a Syracuse alumnus); the other is that “Lo and behold, while I’m out of town, the mayor’s race begins!” “I was surprised with Tracy’s pronouncement,” said Mayor Moonie. “I have made no decisions, but I’ll also tell you I love this job and I love the city of Burlington.” Well said, Mayor, but we don’t think the campaign will be about love. Mayor Moonie, the longtime Progressive who switched to Democrat for a shot at governor, also discounted our analysis of his recent Town Meeting Day defeats. Both the YMCA move to the waterfront and the local sales tax went down in flames. As for the YMCA defeat, Clavelle told Seven Days he did not consider the outcome “a political setback.” “Political leadership is about bringing forth new ideas,” said Moonie the Mayor. “Some will be embraced, others will not.” My God, Peter sounds like a Zen priest, doesn’t he? As for voters rejecting a local sales tax to ease the tax burden on homeowners, Clavelle said he was disappointed by that result, but not shocked. “It’s a tough sell,” said the Mayor. “It was perceived as being another tax on top of an already steep pile of taxes.” As for the chances he’ll pull a Coach Tom Brennan and retire, Clavelle insisted what we’re hearing from our sources is bad information. “You don’t hear it from me and you don’t hear it from anybody who’s in the know,” he told yours truly.

uesday’s arrest of Gerald T. Montgomery for the murder and sexual assault of Laura Winterbottom, a bright, artistic 31-year-old Burlington woman, has brought a big sense of relief to the inhabitants of Vermont’s largest city. The horrific crime was discovered around 7 a.m. on March 9. The victim’s body was found in her Ford Focus parked behind a vacant Hyde Street residence. Back home in Westchester County, New York, where Laura grew up, her mom, Joanne Winterbottom, told their local paper that her daughter was an avid quilter who also enjoyed painting and photography. Besides working as a caregiver to an elderly woman, Laura also taught art to elementary school children and hoped one day to become a full-time teacher. “She was a quiet, shy person,” her mother said. “But she was a good person, and she did touch a lot of lives.” Laura Winterbottom had lived in beautiful, “safe” Burlington, Vermont, for six years. In New York City you expect this, right? Happens all the time, right? The shock of realizing that any woman in Burlington could have befallen such a murderous fate should give folks in this community pause. The sad reality is that every day is a Red Alert Day for crimes against women like this one. We all have to look out for one another, because we truly are our neighbors’ keepers. Burlington cops, as you know, have been exceptionally tight-lipped on this case. Unfortunately, the vacuum created by that official silence was quickly filled by ghastly rumors on the street and bogus journalism on local TV. Last week, Brian Joyce, reported on WCAX-TV that police were investigating the possibility the victim met her killer through the personals section of this weekly newspaper. It quickly became a hot topic on the streets. With police not talking to him, veteran cop reporter Joyce may have felt pressure to report something, anything, regardless of merit. Unfortunately that may have led Mr. Joyce to tell viewers of Ch. 3’s 6 o’clock news an outrageous falsehood. He did, however, issue a correction and apology on the 11 p.m. broadcast. But he limited his “mistake” to telling viewers the personal ad shown on their TV screen was not, in fact, Laura Winterbottom’s personal ad, as first reported. We’ll forever wonder how Joyce’s story got aired in the first place, since the facts gathered indicated the real story was: “Police Find Seven Days Personals Not Linked to Murder.” That’s because Winterbottom never activated the voice greeting for her personal ad, placed in December. Therefore, it was never possible for anyone to have contacted her through that ad. Seven Days had no more of a connection to this crime than did WCAX-TV. Burlington police were quick to discount the WCAX news report. After all, detectives had stopped by the paper one week earlier. They already knew there was no connection between the murderer and Laura’s personal ad. When Chief Tom Tremblay announced Montgomery’s arrest Tuesday morning, he made a point of saying that “speculation in the media” regarding “the possibility the sin-

A huge housing development slated for South Burlington has received preliminary approval from the city’s Development Review Board. Should the project receive final approval from the city and state regulators, it will be the largest development ever built in South Burlington. By most standards, the 220-acre South Village, east of Spear Street at Allen Road, would also be one of the most innovative developments in the state. Reflecting a design philosophy known as “New Urbanism,” South Village would incorporate architectural and land-use concepts that recall the way towns and cities were built for centuries, before suburban sprawl became the norm. Developer David Scheuer, president of the Retrovest Companies, explains that South

The 220-acre South Village would also be one of the most innovative developments in the state.

ASIANA HOUSE A JAPANESE TOUCH

Village would look like a historic Vermont village, with dense residential neighborhoods clustered around a town center and surrounded by working farmlands and undeveloped open space. The design blends many of the more desirable aspects of village life, such as narrow streets, diverse housing styles and community gathering areas, with a modern emphasis on environmental protection. “The whole focus of this project is to create an ambiance that puts pedestrians and street life first,” says Sheuer. “This is really about the evolution from the privatization of open space to a common, shared space. From that point of view, we think it’s really a step in the right direction.” Unlike the typical cookie-cutter approach to suburban housing, in which 75 to 100 percent of available land is developed, South Village would have a much smaller “footprint” and develop only about 25 percent of the available land. The rest would be devoted to parks, pedestrian walkways, green spaces and a native-plant nursery and organic farm co-

managed by the Intervale Foundation. Retrovest has also received a nonbinding commitment from the Gailer School, which has expressed an interest in building a campus on the site. South Village would feature about 330 new homes of various styles, including single-family houses, cottages, multi-story townhouses and semi-attached condominiums. One of the project’s primary goals, Scheuer explains, is to provide Chittenden County with more “workforce housing” — that is, homes that are affordable to people who earn between 75 percent and 125 percent of the state’s median income. Retrovest is also working with South Burlington on a program to give housing priority to city employees such as schoolteachers, firefighters and emergency responders. Despite its many attractive features, however, the project is not without opponents. Some neighbors who don’t necessarily oppose the entire project have specific concerns about increased traffic and impacts on nearby brooks and wetlands. Dan Wetzel lives in Dorset Farms, a development due east of the South Village site. A biologist by training, he objects to an eastwest connector road that would cut directly across the wetlands. “There are a lot of frogs in that swamp,” says Wetzel. “The larger animals can usually take care of themselves pretty well, but amphibians and reptiles don’t do so well when you put a road across their swamp.” South Burlington resident Skip Vallee, owner of the Maplefields chain of gas stations and mini-marts, expresses concern about the project’s impact on nearby Bartlett and Monroe brooks. “They’ve got all these roads carving up the most sensitive wildlife area,” says Vallee. “In fact, the state of Vermont has said it’s so sensitive there should be 300-foot buffer zones in it.” But Scheuer says he believes those impacts can be mitigated and that the wetlands concern won’t be an issue “from the regulators’ point of view . . . We’ve worked really hard to be responsive to the neighbors,” he says. Barring any unforeseen delays or court challenges, Scheuer says he expects to break ground on the first phase of the project by early 2006. KEN PICARD

Two years to the day after the U.S. military launched Operation Iraqi Freedom, more than 100 protesters showed up at Burlington City Hall Sunday afternoon to mark the anniversary with speeches, signs, a march up Church Street and calls for an immediate end to the U.S. occupation. The rally coincided with more than 800 other protests in cities across the country, which drew tens of thousands of demonstrators. In the last two years, the Iraq War has claimed the lives of more than 1500 Americans and, according to estimates by international human-rights groups, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians. Among the handful of speakers at the protest was Peggy Luhrs of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Luhrs, who also belongs to the Queer Liberation Army, offered a creative theory on how the U.S. government convinces working-class Americans to support a war that is fundamentally against their best interests: by convincing young males that the only way to become a man is by learning to kill. How is this accomplished? According to Luhrs, the U.S. military blends sexuality, warfare and entertainment into a form of propaganda the European press has recently dubbed “militainment.” From USO shows featuring scantily clad women and A&E’s newly launched “Military Channel” to a U.S. Army recruitment ad that doubles as a video game, the military is blurring the lines between recreation and reality. “We are creating an insane, psychosexual mindset among our soldiers,” Luhrs told the receptive crowd, “and these men will be dangerous to women and their families when they come home.” Sunday’s rally in Burlington was modest in size compared to the massive street demonstration against the war two years ago. From the protesters’ point of view, there wasn’t much uplifting news to report, either. Except one report from a representative of “UVM Students Against the War” — apparently, military recruiters had such a tough time at a recent student career fair they asked that their exhibitor fee be reimbursed.

Good FOIA When Vermont’s Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy shares the headlines with a Republican, it’s usually because they’re having some kind of conflict — just ask Vice President Dick “Go *&%$! yourself ” Cheney. But last week, media outlets nationwide reported on an unlikely alliance between Leahy and Texas Republican John Cornyn. The two senators are leading a bipartisan effort to update the Freedom of Information Act. Known universally by its acronym, FOIA — pronounced “foy-ya” — the 38-year-old federal law gives journalists, researchers and average citizens the right to request information from federal agencies. It allows you to petition, say, the Environmental Protection Agency to find out which companies are producing toxic chemicals in your neighborhood. Provided, of course, that information hasn’t been classified. Leahy has long been a FOIA champion. In 1996, he sponsored an amendment to expand FOIA requirements to websites. That prompted a coalition of media organizations to induct him into the FOIA Hall of Fame. “The enactment of FOIA was a watershed moment for democracy,” reads a Leahy quote in a press release on Cornyn’s website, “but this bulwark of open government is under assault. Liberals and conservatives both recognize a dangerous trend toward over-classification of information, at enormous cost to the taxpayers and risk to our citizens.” To remedy the situation, Leahy and Cornyn are cosponsoring two bills. One, with the racy title “Faster FOIA,” would create a 16-member commission to study how to speed up the processing of FOIA requests; last week the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the bill, which is co-sponsored by Republican Charles Grassley of Iowa, and unanimously approved it. The other is the OPEN Government Act — short for “Openness Promotes Effectiveness in our National Government Act of 2005.” It creates a new FOIA ombudsman who will review FOIA compliance within federal agencies. It will also grant blog-

gers and other Internet publishers the same status as journalists, who receive FOIA fee waivers based on their intent to publicize the information they obtain. The OPEN Government Act also aims to close loopholes in the current law, which give government agencies the ability to classify a broad range of nonsecurity-related information. Proponents of the bill point to statistics showing that classification has risen dramatically in the past 10 years. The number of documents classified by the government grew from 6.5 million in 1995 to a whopping 14 million in 2003. During that time, the number of documents declassified shrank to 43 million per year, down from 204 million. Debra Hernandez, of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, says the idea is not to eliminate classified documents. “The government needs to have secrets,” she says. “But don’t put stuff away that should be out in the open.” Last week, Hernandez’s group sponsored the first “Sunshine Week,” a campaign to spotlight FOIA and bipartisan efforts to strengthen it. The designation generated thousands of stories about the obscure legislation. It may not be a coincidence that both the Faster FOIA bill and the OPEN Government Act seemed poised to pass the Senate. David Carle, a spokesman from Senator Leahy’s office, notes “There’s good momentum this year.” But he adds that the forecast is not so sunny for Leahy’s third FOIA bill, the Restore FOIA Act. Leahy’s website claims the bill aims to close more loopholes, provide protections for whistleblowers, and eliminate immunity in civil lawsuits for companies that voluntarily disclose information. It also allows state and local authorities to apply their own sunshine laws to federal agencies, provided the information they seek is not classified. Carle reports that despite having once received an endorsement from the White House, which has since been retracted, the legislation has no Republican cosponsors. He predicts, “That one will have a tougher time.” CATHY RESMER >> 35A

Après Low Carb Two further fat fighters are brushing your teeth and fidgeting. Dr. Takashi Wada of Tokyo’s Jikei University reviewed everyday habits of 14,000 adults. Those who stayed slim, he said, usually brush after every meal. Overweight men, on the other hand, sometimes go more than a day without brushing their teeth. Wada explained that people who brush regularly tend to be more health-conscious, stressing that the findings don’t suggest that the activity of brushing burns fat. • Researchers at the Mayo Clinic, however, concluded that any activity, no matter how slight, contributes toward weight loss. Studying volunteer subjects who identified themselves as couch potatoes, the scientists found that lean idle

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce said that the fund transfer requests Peer received were intended for internal distribution only. • A month later, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce admitted that one of its cash machines was issuing fake money. Instead of distributing $20 bills, the ATM, located in New Brunswick, dispensed bill-sized incentive coupons for Canadian Tire. Bank official Rob McLeod said that the coupons, ranging in denominations from 10 cents to $2, “must have come in from maybe some of our business customers who package up their own cash.”

Cows & Effect Cows become excited by intellectual challenges, according to researchers at Britain’s Cambridge University, who measured the animals’ brainwaves after challenging them to figure out how to open a door to get food. “The brainwaves showed their excitement,” Cambridge animal welfare professor Donald Bloom said. “Their heartbeat went up, and some even jumped into the air. We called it their Eureka moment.” Separate research at Bristol University found that cows also develop friendships and hold grudges. “Remarkable cognitive abilities and cultural innovations have been revealed,” Bristol animal welfare professor Christine Nicol said. “Our challenge is to teach others that every animal we intend to eat or use is a complex individual.”

labor tribunal awarded Phillippe Pitiot, 42, five years’ back pay after he complained that he had cooked for his former employers for no pay and no vacation for 17 years. “At first, I was willing to make some concessions because she and her husband had big money problems,” Pitiot said, explaining that the couple did pay him for the first five months after hiring him to cook in their hotel restaurant in Lalouvesc. He filed a lawsuit against his boss, Genevieve Arnaud, after she and her husband sold the hotel and the new owner put Pitiot in touch with a lawyer. Dominique Chambron declared that his client “had been basted like a turkey.”

Mounting Woes Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Judy Sgro, 60, resigned in response to allegations that she promised to help a pizza shop owner avoid deportation in exchange for free pizza and garlic bread. Harjit Singh, who owns a pizza shop in Brampton, Ontario, said that Sgro also pressed him to supply “15 or 16” volunteers for her campaign office. Sgro said she resigned so she would “be free to defend myself vigorously” against the allegations. “It’s so stupid,” she said, dismissing Singh’s claim that she asked for free pizza. “We had loads of food.” At the time she stepped down, Sgro was also under attack for giving a special residency permit to a Romanian stripper who had worked on her re-election campaign. Subsequently, the minister’s chief of staff was found to have visited several strip clubs while researching a program aimed at importing strippers to fill Canada’s stripper shortage. 쩾

ne Monday afternoon found me driving a young woman from the bus terminal to her dorm at a local college. Actually, as she pointedly corrected me, she was living in a townhouse — the newer, plusher quarters reserved for the upperclassmen. For some reason, possibly dementia, I persist in using “dorm� to describe any type of on-campus student housing. I can’t tell you how often I hear, “I don’t live in a dorm; I live in a townhouse.� “I guess you missed your classes today,� I said over my shoulder as we ascended the Main Street hill. “I only miss one, but it was worth it,� she replied with a laugh like a wind chime. I glanced up at the rearview mirror to see the cutest face you could imagine, which I somehow hadn’t noticed when she got into the cab. The girl was wearing a powder-blue down jacket with a fluffy white hood. She was Asian — that was clear from her looks and her speech pattern; but, as a typical American ignoramus, I couldn’t discern if she was Korean, Japanese or Chinese. Whatever her heritage, she was absolutely adorable, and I had to consciously look away lest I cross into “dirty old man� territory.

It occurred to me that shaking off insensitive remarks is probably a daily occurrence in her life in America. “Well,� I said, “do you want me to write you a note?� She tilted her head and said, “What do you mean — ‘write me a note’?� I immediately realized that my joke came out of an American cultural context. “Well, when you’re a kid and miss school, you’re supposed to bring a note, like, from your parents, to show the teacher.� “Oh, I see,� she said, and laughed again — more out of politeness, it seemed, than an actual hit on her funny bone. “So, what’d you miss class for that was so worth it?� “I watch the Academy Awards last night with my two sister. It’s a family tradition.� “No kidding? That sounds like a load of fun.� “Oh, we have a ball. We dress up like our favorite actors, and we root for them to win. I think we’re really a little crazy.� “No, I think that’s way cool. Are there special foods that you eat?� I was starting to wish I’d been there. “You bet,� she said. “Only hors d’oeuvre and desserts!� It was an hour or so before the evening rush, and traffic was light as we spun around the cloverleaf onto Highway 89. I wonder where she does comes from, I thought. Matters of nationality could be a little touchy, particularly post-9/11, but

I knew I was going to ask — I’m a curious fellow. If I were a cat, I’d have been dead long ago. “So, are you an exchange student?� I asked as an opening gambit. “Not exactly,� she replied. “I live here for three year with my host family. We’re very close; that’s why I call the girls my sisters. I’m from Vietnam.� “Wow, I didn’t realize that your school had any students from Vietnam. I know there’s a bunch of Korean and Japanese students; I’ve driven them now and then.� “I think I’m the only one.� “Well, that’s just great,� I said. “I know there’s some Vietnamese folks living in Burlington now. I think some refugees from Laos and Cambodia, too. They’ve even opened a couple of good restaurants.� The girl just sat there smiling — again, being polite, I imagined. I have this bad tendency to steer conversations into uncomfortable areas. It’s a trait I’m trying to change, but with little success to date. We pulled onto the campus and eased to a stop in front of her dorm — excuse me, townhouse. “You know,� I said, “I have tremendous admiration for your country. What a tough bunch of people — first you booted out the French, and then the United States. That’s facing down two major Western industrialized nations. When you think about it, it’s truly amazing.� The girl didn’t stop smiling — I think she was constitutionally incapable of that — but I could feel her mood changed. She handed me the taxi fare, and paused for a moment. “What you say about Vietnam is true,� she said. “But I wish it did not happen.� In a flash, I thought about the 50,000 American dead, and the Vietnamese deaths numbering in the millions. For this young woman, the Vietnam War will never be an abstraction. My comments to her, I realized, were entirely thoughtless. When it comes to conversation, a Buddhist friend recommends a simple test. Before speaking, ask yourself three questions: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? If you can’t answer yes to all three, it’s best not to speak. My words to this young woman about her country were arguably true, but they were not truly kind, and certainly not necessary. “Thanks for the ride,� she said as she opened her door to get out. She seemed perfectly fine. It occurred to me that shaking off insensitive remarks is probably a daily occurrence in her life in America. “Hey, thank you,� I replied. She smiled once more and said, “Maybe next time I take a note from you. You know — for my teacher.� m “Hackie� is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

SEVEN DAYS: Is it tough to switch gears at an age when many people have settled into their sole occupation? DEBORAH KRATZ: Yeah. When I joined the Army, I was living in a barracks with women who were mostly just out of high school. At OT school, I was once again older than almost all the other students. And the schedule was so demanding that had I to give up music altogether. SD: What are the most common problems you treat as an occupational therapist? DK: If basic motor skills are not in place, everything else in life becomes difficult. We need to catch them early. And every child I work with has poor ocular skills, so they struggle with visual work. Kids are less active these days. Their hands and eyes are not getting a good workout. SD: Lifestyle is an issue? DK: Yes. I’m also trying to train parents to be detectives. The things that calm some people down might make a child hyperactive. One girl I saw was incredibly fidgety and liked to run on all fours. Her parents, who were very sedentary, thought it was behavioral. They began to realize their daughter needed activities throughout the day to stay on a more even keel. The dad told me: “You saved my family. We just thought she was a bad kid.” He cried.

s Jordanna Dulaney swivels on a platform swing, she tosses small beanbag frogs or tennis balls at numbered plastic cups randomly placed on the floor. This game is intended to improve the second grader’s motor coordination and muscle tone. But pediatric occupational therapist Deborah Kratz also turns it into a math quiz by periodically calling out an addition or subtraction problem that the 8-year-old can solve by hitting the correct target. When the girl knocks over a cup marked 18, she is providing the answer to “20 minus two” and mastering balance at the same time. Easier said than done. “Jordanna has to plan what she’s doing because there is a sequence of movements needed,” explains Kratz, 45, who launched Wee Works of Williston at her home in 2003. “It’s actually a very complicated activity.” The room is filled with toys, art materials and an enormous, cloth-covered mound of pillows and foam rubber she calls a “crash pad.” Kratz’s four “therapy cats” — Billy, Patty, Carrie and Cindy — often drop in on the sessions. DownDeborah Kratz stairs, her husband David frequently Pediatric Occupational Therapist romps with their six other kitties, keeps Wee Works the books and repairs instruments for a Williston living. The couple married in 1991, while soldiers in a U.S. Army marching band. They both play French horn. She once envisioned that instrument as her passport to a career in classical music. It took more than two decades for Kratz, now legislative chair of the Vermont Occupational Therapy Association, to make the transitions from orchestral performance to military marching to promoting recovery and rehabilitation in youngsters. While she now deems occupational therapy with children “more fun than I ever had in my life,” the changes have proved easier said than done.

SD: Why is that making you cry now? DK: When I was growing up, my parents thought, “Debbie just has her quirks.” Some kids are hypersensitive to things like the tags on the back of their shirts or, like me, the seams in their socks. Sensory issues can hold a family hostage. They might not be able to take a child shopping because of the sights, sounds and smells in a supermarket. SD: What kind of upbringing did you have? DK: From fourth grade through high school, we lived in Tampa. My mom was a homemaker and my dad was a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. He coined the term ‘aquifer.’ I have three biological sisters. After my brother Rob served in Vietnam, he battled demons and eventually committed suicide in 2001. SD: How terrible. DK: As I was studying OT, I suspected Rob had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My mother said, ‘He’ll get over it.’ Occupational therapy has strong roots in the mental health field. It was started after World War I to rehabilitate shellshocked soldiers. April is National OT Month, by the way.

SD: Did your undergraduate education prepare you for what was to come? DK: Not really. In 1982, I got my bachelor’s degree at the Indiana University School of Music. By then, I was already performing with regional orchestras. But my first job after graduation was at the drive-through window of McDonald’s. That was all I could find. In 1986, I signed up for the Army. That was the first time my mom ever said she was proud of me, but I felt it was a huge step down. SD: Then why enlist? DK: So I could join a military band. I felt like a rolling stone and needed stability. The first step was eight weeks of basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. I left with the rank of staff sergeant at the end of January 1987, when I went to Fort Myer in Virginia. I was the first woman in an all-male horn section. SD: Was that a good experience? DK: Mixed. I discovered that I had a foot deformity. So I came to the band damaged, with bad feet, but my job was marching. I also had carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and melanoma. I took a medical retirement in early 1993. While I was still there, though, I volunteered to do community service in the occupational therapy clinic at Walter Reed Army Hospital. I thought, “This is pretty cool.” It had everything I liked, all wrapped up in one profession: the body, psychology, creativity and really listening to people. SD: And that persuaded you to go into this field? DK: Yes. I got a master’s degree from Shenandoah University, which has a great OT program. After graduation, I worked in the public schools of Fairfax (Virginia) and played with a brass quintet in my spare time. But 9/11 and seeing the Pentagon engulfed in smoke just two miles from our house was the catalyst to move out of the state. SD: Why Vermont? DK: David’s a native, from Pittsford. And I have two sisters in Massachusetts, so this seemed like the right place to be. I started Wee Works in January 2003 and, that March, Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans hired me halftime to help set up a pediatric rehab department. I did that until about a month ago. Now I’ve got enough of a clientele, between 10 and 15 kids, to go it alone. SD: Alone except for David and the therapy cats? DK: Exactly. m

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, What’s up with PCP turning people into cannibals? Jim, New York Now, Jim. It’s not like cannibalism is a frequent consequence of PCP use. Only one case has turned up that I know of, involving Antron Singleton, a would-be rapper using the stage name Big Lurch. In 2002, after he was found walking around Los Angeles naked and covered with blood, his roommate Tynisha Ysais, 21, was discovered dead on the floor of their apartment with her chest slashed open and her internal organs exposed. Pieces of her right lung, which had been removed from her body, appeared chewed and torn, and there were teeth marks on her face. Singleton’s lawyer claimed his client had tucked into Ysais after a five-day PCP binge had made him psychotic. An insanity plea was rejected, and Singleton was sentenced to life in prison without parole; a similar incident soon found its way into an episode of “CSI.” Huh, you say. Sounds like PCP isn’t the drug of choice when you’re looking to get mellow. Maybe not, but PCP, known technically as phencyclidine and on the street as angel dust, horse tranquilizer, etc., has its defenders, or at least apologists, who say tales of homicidal rage are exaggerated and recall the hysteria surrounding cocaine, LSD, and marijuana in earlier eras. A riffle through the clippings offers evidence for both sides of the argument: • Houston, a 21-year-old rising R&B star said to have been battling PCP use and mental problems, went to his hotel room while on tour in London in late January, ostensibly to read the Bible, and gouged out one of his eyes. His publicist denied reports that he had earlier attempted to jump from a 13th-floor window. PCP isn’t mentioned in later accounts of the incident and the guy definitely had other issues, so this one can’t be confident-

ly pinned on the drug. • According to the New York Daily News, in 2002 a 30year-old Brooklyn mother murdered her 7-year-old daughter while high on PCP, stabbing her more than 35 times and also repeatedly stabbing a neighbor who tried to intervene. • In a 1980 special issue on PCP, the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs reported that, on the one hand, (1) some stories about PCP-induced dementia were demonstrably embroidered or otherwise unreliable — for example, Baltimore college dropout Charles Innes blinded himself while in jail after swallowing a canister of drugs, but there was no proof the stuff was PCP; (2) the vast majority of PCP experiences were nonviolent; (3) you could find eye gougings, superhuman strength and whatnot attributed to drugs ranging from LSD to ergot; (4) PCP users took gobs of other drugs, too; and (5) the one recreational drug indisputably linked to crime was alcohol. On the other hand, the Journal’s contributors went on to say, PCP had played a role in plenty of stunningly senseless violence: (1) a 17-year-old boy made a sexual advance on a 14-year-old girl after both had smoked “superweed” (here meaning marijuana dosed with PCP); when she resisted, he concluded he was being attacked by a wild animal and strangled her; (2) a man cut off one of his partner’s testicles at the latter’s request while both were high on PCP; (3) one chronic PCP user “branded himself by burning a cross on his chest”; (4) a 38-year-old man smoked superweed, cut off the head of his dog, and attacked a stranger on the street with a razor; (5) high on PCP, a man waved down a car, shot and killed a passenger, then frolicked on the freeway firing in the air before being subdued; and (6) a 29-yearold man smoked a PCP “crystal joint,” entered a pregnant woman’s home, stabbed her, killing the fetus, killed her 2-year-old child, and when found was running down the street with a knife, naked and bloody, yelling, “Hallelujah, I’m Jesus!” PCP was studied in the 1950s as a human anesthetic but after reports of delusions, psychosis and other side effects, was restricted to veterinary use and eventually discontinued. It surfaced briefly as a recreational drug in San Francisco in 1967, reappeared in the ’70s, and during the ’80s became popular in urban black neighborhoods. The drug lost favor during the ’90s, but some reports indicate it surged with the new century, finding a market among a segment of clubgoers and ravers. It’s described as dissociative, meaning users are more or less aware but feel oddly detached. Is PCP inherently dangerous? Given the continuing litany of horror stories after 40 years of street use, it seems clear this stuff is in a different league from LSD and other drugs with which it’s often compared. The argument can be made that it unleashes violent outbursts mainly in people who were unstable to start with. But let’s face it, much the same can be said of a gun. CECIL ADAMS

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

ken and serene. She seems at once grounded and ethereal, self-assured yet humble. It takes her a while to reveal her sense of humor, or her passions, to a stranger. Her previous works in oil and acrylic were “all about color,” Van Vliet explains. And though her painting and sculpture studies at Bennington and Goddard colleges had been focused on classic Western styles, she also had a penchant for making “Mary boxes.” The constructions featuring the Virgin are somewhat kitschy, though Van Vliet says she was attracted to Mary “because of her unconditional love.” Examples of her earlier artworks are scattered about the Bristol house Van Vliet shares with husband Nate Newman and 6-year-old daughter Sadie. But the New England homestead is beginning to look as if a Buddhist roommate has moved in.

unhurried. For Van Vliet, the calm landscapes that emerge from her brush are also like two-dimensional echoes of her layered, imagistic poetry — she writes with the same economy of line, as it were. Though not haiku, her poems tend to be short, and they honor the space between thoughts. Van Vliet, who earned an MFA in Poetry from Vermont College in 1995, says she used to write a poem a day. And hers is still a world of words: She coordinates the New England Young Writers’ Conference at Breadloaf, and for three years has been on the admissions board for the annual adult convocation there as well. But when she began the brush paintings, Van Vliet nearly gave up writing altogether. Now, the paintings are shaping new poems, and the poems are entering the pictures. In her home “studio” — really just

A closer look at Van Vliet’s paintings reveals that these are not Chinese landscapes at all: The meandering rivers, open fields, trees and mountain backdrops are strictly Vermont.

A Brush With the East

K IMAGES Pamela Polston An exhibit of Karla Van Vliet’s paintings is currently at the Bobcat Café in Bristol, through April.

arla Van Vliet’s family goes back seven generations in the Green Mountain State, and to those of us who can’t claim “real Vermonter” status, that seems like a pretty long time. But Van Vliet has adopted a much more ancient tradition: Chinese brush painting. With roots some 6000 years old, the now familiar brush-and-ink landscape genre was firmly established by the 4th century. Executed with delicate washes and the fewest possible strokes, the paintings defined “minimalism” long before a 20th-century art movement took that name on the other side of the world. Van Vliet, now 37, was already a published poet and a figurative painter when she

AFTER YOU Enter the space between breath and the lung’s empty orb: the mouth. Your finger on my tongue like a whistle bone. The sound my body makes of yours: torn dusk, the sky’s hollowed bowl. Night falls from my lip, shadowed spell. And stars escape into the wild notion of love, your mouth: an open moon. In this light, my skin, an echo which will consume what lay beneath. And what is left: a song in the hills, crickets, then falling rain. And what is left: the warmed air of the passing storm. — KARLA VAN VLIET

first put an ink-dipped brush to rice paper in 2001. That was in a class at the Lincoln Library taught by Chinese émigrée Yinglei Zhang of Middlebury. Van Vliet recalls of her lesson, “I thought, ‘This is it — I’m going to go home and throw away all my art supplies.’” The simplicity and meditative quality of the ink paintings immediately spoke to her. “For me, it’s more about depth and perspective, and how things move within the painting,” she says. The style seems to suit Van Vliet temperamentally as well: Slender, darkhaired and brown-eyed, she’s soft-spo-

Since that first class, Van Vliet says she paints sporadically but in depth: “I’ll paint two weeks and do 20 paintings,” she suggests. Her work has appeared in half a dozen exhibitions — primarily in area restaurants — and is now represented at Bristol’s Art On Main as well as Human Hand in Ferrisburgh and Middlebury’s Great Falls Club. Of Van Vliet’s current show at Bristol’s Bobcat Café, the casual viewer may think, “Oh, Chinese paintings.” That impression comes from both their flawless quality and the characteristic red seal — the stone-carved stamp that Asian, and Asian-inspired, artists use as a distinctive signature. For her seal, Van Vliet chose Chinese characters that symbolize her name: woman/earth, oath and water. She’s not certain of the color’s significance, but, Van Vliet points out with a shy smile, “Red is good luck.” It also pops out of the austere black-and-white works, yet somehow complements, rather than distracts from, the elegant compositions. A closer look at Van Vliet’s paintings reveals, of course, that these are not Chinese landscapes at all: The meandering rivers, open fields, trees and mountain backdrops are strictly Vermont. “I know this land,” says the Bristol native; “it’s in my blood.” Though she takes snapshots on location as reminders, Van Vliet says the paintings are not meant to portray particular places. “It’s really more about the technique, the impression, the way the ink acts on the paper,” she says. Regardless of origin, these paintings provide a retreat from the brash, noisy information overload of modern life. Bordered with simple black frames and white mat, the creamy rice paper conveys a timeless, organic sensibility; the spare, figure-free scenes look pristine, untroubled and

a corner off the dining room, illuminated by a northern window — Van Vliet is working on a new series of paintings to fulfill a grant she recently received from the Vermont Community Found-ation. “This particular grant is for artists who want to move their art in a different direction,” she explains. “I want to move my poetry into the paintings.” One such work is in progress: Along its upper edge runs a faint line of hand-lettered words, barely legible in pale, good-luck red ink. To the left, a rectangle of rice paper, painted a delicate turquoise and holding a Chinese character, is collaged beside an inkbrushed landscape. The mélange of traditional and modern, scenic and literary, is striking. Moreover, it is completely her own. “Somebody else could do the painting, but someone else could not paint that,” Van Vliet says, pointing to the new work. “These paintings to me are exciting. Bringing the two things together, I feel like they are wholly me.” Yinglei Zhang seems proud of her student, suggesting the departure from Chinese tradition is just fine. “I teach the way to use the brush and ink, and how to work on rice paper,” she says. “Karla is pretty creative; she combines all the things together . . . We don’t do this, but it’s OK, she is not Chinese,” Zhang adds. “It’s multicultural, and emphasizes the individuality.” In the U.S. for 20 years and in Middlebury for nine, Zhang teaches at colleges and other locations around the state. She is also a poet, and has helped bring the annual exhibit of contemporary Chinese artists to Burlington’s Phoenix Gallery. Zhang says the landscape of Vermont reminds her of home. With the brushstrokes Zhang taught her, Van Vliet makes home look like China. m

Meanwhile, Republican Party Chairman Jim Barnett finds a Tracy vs. Clavelle contest very interesting. “I’m eager to see,” said Mad Dog, “whether or not Clavelle is willing to battle it out in a Democratic primary and prove his fidelity to the party, or whether he’ll just seek the Prog nomination. Then again,” added Barnett, Clavelle “may reflect on his defeats at the polls in March, on top of the results of the November election, and decide he has worn out his welcome.” As for the up-and-coming John Patrick Tracy, native Vermonter, Vietnam vet and “Man of the People,” the GOP chairman said he hopes John Boy’s campaign for mayor “doesn’t play out in the health-care committee. We need reform that works for all of Vermont, not just an ideological statement designed to appeal only to the leftist Burlington Progressives he’ll need to win.” Mr. Barnett doesn’t mince words, does he? Closer to home, Tracy’s out-inthe-open mayoral campaign has quickly drawn critics from all parties. The hometown crowd is suddenly wondering aloud what John Tracy ever did for Burlington? After all, they note, Tracy’s golden-boy career has been spent under the golden dome in Montpelier. Many asked where John Boy was on the YMCA vote. We have no idea.

Jeezum Crow — OK, folks, we’re convinced. No more speculation about Independent U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords retiring anytime soon. The Jeffords for Senate Campaign’s hiring of Carolyn Dwyer — Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy’s former campaign manager — is the nail in the coffin for those eyeing a shot at an open Vermont U.S. Senate seat in 2006. Hear that, Rep. Bernie Sanders? Dwyer is considered a real pro by those who know her best. Of course, her two Leahy victories were over “joke” candidates: Fred Tuttle in 1998 and Jack McMullen in 2004. Neither IDX business whiz Ritchie Tarrant nor Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie would be a “joke” candidate if either decided to step up to the plate. Meanwhile, Vermont Democrats will sit this one out. Jeezum Jim is their hero nowadays. And Jeffords proved it anew last Friday as he delivered a blistering speech on the U.S. Senate floor highlighting the sheer madness of President George W. Bush’s fiscal management of the United States of America. On Monday Jeezum Jim told Seven Days he was surprised and somewhat dismayed there hasn’t been “an outpouring of anger” from the American people. The U.S. is in the worst financial shape in its history, said Jeffords, and “no one is screaming.” “The situation this president has put us in is severe, and it’s going to be a long time before we can get this country back into good shape,” said the Vermont Independent. “We have just thrown money away, especially with tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts.” Bush wants even more tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, noted Jeffords, meaning years of red ink as

far as the eye can see. And he’s right — nobody is screaming. It’s as if we lived in a one-party nation. He who controls the focus of the news media controls the country! Jeezum Jim was at the opening of Spectrum’s new Pearl Street facility for runaway youth on Monday. It can’t be said the 70-year-old Vermonter glides across the floor with the fluid motion of a dazzling runningback, but then, Jim Jeffords never really did. But our eyeball-to-eyeball encounter left yours truly convinced the fire still burns brightly within Jeezum Jim’s heart, and his inner vision remains crystal-clear. His spirit is in fighting-trim; our junior senator looks and sounds like a man who knows he’s got promises to keep and miles to go before he sleeps.

Ambassador Dubie? — Why more people don’t make a habit of watching Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me” on Sunday mornings amazes me. Sure, generally it’s pretty boring, but then there are Sundays like the recent one when Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie did things to the English language rarely heard in public. As everyone knows, the Doobster interviewed for a Bush administration appointment about two weeks after winning the LiteGov’s race in November. He didn’t return our phone calls for a month. And when we finally confirmed the facts, he declined comment. What we learned was that our GOP Lite-Gov is a candidate to be U.S. Ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Authority in Montréal. It’s a big deal in the world of aviation and a plum assignment for an American Airlines pilot like the Doobster. When asked about it by Ch. 3 reporter Anson Tebbetts, Dubie lit up like a Christmas tree and touted his credentials, sounding like a serious candidate for the post. “The job is still open,” said Dubie. “I’m still under consideration for the job.” He noted the organization is a subchapter of the United Nations, and that President Bush only recently appointed a new U.N. ambassador. Brian sounded like a puntreturner who can see the end zone. But when asked about the issue of being straight with the voters, Brian quickly blamed it all on his wife! “When I got a phone call to interview for this job,” said Dubie, “I talked to my wife, and my wife says ‘they want to talk to you, go talk to them.’” Dubie went into a rambling recital of his work as Gov-Lite and expressed his commitment to serve out his term. Unless, of course, asked Tebbetts, he gets a certain phone call? “Well, you know,” replied Doobie-Doo, “if the President of the United States calls Brian Dubie and says I need you to serve, well, you know.” Then, in his very next breath, Dubie quickly tried to cover those tracks. “I am focused on being lieutenant governor and that is my intention. Beyond that, you know, it’s kind of academic. There’s a lot of different scenarios. I am very motivated to be the best lieutenant

SEVEN DAYS | march 23-30, 2005

governor that I can be.” Sure you are, Brian. Whatever you say. P.S. Good luck getting the ambassadorship. Bush could do a whole lot worse than a guy who sells Vermont maple syrup on the side.

Media Notes — The new face with the deep voice on the local TV news scene belongs to WPTZ’s Ben Stein. Ben’s a Cornell grad who picked up his journalism master’s at Columbia University. Stein grew up outside Philly and previously covered politics for WMGM, the NBC affiliate in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Meanwhile, Burlington Free Press business reporter Shawn Turner is heading for Crain’s Cleveland Business in Ohio. Turner’s been here since December 2003. His new job means a trip home — he grew up 45 minutes from Cleveland. Best wishes!

Comeback Trail — Unusual sighting this week online. Former Times Argus Managing Editor Scott Fletcher has popped up as vice-president of communications at a Plainfield-based mail-order outfit that sells a “blueprint for a happy, successful sober life.” The blueprint costs $109. Cheap if it works, eh? More at http://www.homerecovery.net. Mr. Fletcher’s bio leaves out mention of his dismissal from the Times Argus in 2002 for writing dramatic feature articles that read like fiction. Turned out, they were fiction. A juicy one was about a 15-year-old female Montpelier heroin junkie who did not exist. Mr. Fletcher’s wife Kristin Fletcher, a former sportswriter at the TA, is listed as the company’s president. Interesting, eh?

New Boys in Town — WVNYTV General Manager Erik Storck tells Seven Days he expects the FCC will approve the sale of the station by the end of the month. Smith Media LLC is buying the “non-licensed assets,” he said. And Michael Lambert Broadcasting of Burlington LLC is buying the rest. Lambert, said Storck, is “a gentleman out of California who’s been in the business for a long time.” Smith Media LLC also owns WFFF-TV, Fox 44. And the money behind Smith Media leads one to a Boston investment firm called Boston Ventures. More info available at http://www.boston ventures.com. As for the possibility of WVNY getting back into the local news business, Storck said, “You never can tell. I’d sure like to do it.” Wonder if the BurlingtonPlattsburgh market is ready for “Nude News?” m

Social Capitalist ant to lower crime in your neighborhood? Raise voter turnout? Increase your life expectancy? Robert Putnam suggests that you raise some capital — social capital, that is. The idea is that social networks, even informal ones, have value. You increase it every time you go to Town Meeting, or volunteer at the food bank, or have a few friends over for dinner. Putnam explored the concept in a 1995 article which later grew into the influential 2000 book, Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community. In it, he points to Roper polls and lifestyle surveys that show well connected communities are healthier, better educated, less dangerous places to live. The book also trots out dozens of charts and graphs to show that by most measures — church attendance, PTA membership, the number of people who actually stop at stop signs — Americans’ social capital is falling, and fast. It has been on the decline since the middle of the century. One of Putnam’s indicators — membership in bowling leagues, which has dropped precipitously since it peaked in the 1960s and ’70s — provided the intriguing title.

Putnam speaks about this trend at Middlebury College on Monday. Since the publication of Bowling Alone, he’s been employed as a professor of public policy at the Saguaro Seminar, an initiative of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Last year, he and his colleagues published Better Together, a book that focuses on how to reverse the trend. Putnam lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has a home in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. SEVEN DAYS: In Bowling Alone, you noted that Vermont has one of the highest social-capital scores in the country. Why is that? ROBERT PUTNAM: Frankly, I don’t know for sure. It’s true in New Hampshire, too. It’s probably partly its small size. It’s probably partly the fact that the places in it are small — in general, for social capital, small is beautiful. That is, smaller towns, smaller schools, smaller firms, smaller classes. Probably there’s also something in the tradition of Town Meetings and of local civic activism that goes back a long, long ways.

SD: In your book, you also cited a study by Frank Bryan saying that attendance at Town Meetings dropped by almost half from the 1970s to the 1990s, from 27 percent to 15 percent. I checked the Secretary of State’s website, and it looks like it’s dropped another five percentage points since 1998. RP: They’re about to abolish the Town Meeting in my hometown up in New Hampshire. It’s happening much more rapidly now even than it was earlier. SD: Does this mean that our social capital is declining in Vermont?

You really have to measure it, as I did in Bowling Alone, over a period of decades. But with one exception, I don’t see any reason to believe that there’s been any reversal of the trends I described.

their nearest and dearest, but also to people all across the country. And our data shows that that was true. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there’s always a spurt like that in community mindedness, even after a snowstorm in New Hampshire, or in Vermont. People, for a while, feel a little more comfortable, a little friendlier with their neighbors. And after a hurricane, or a flood, or an earthquake, there’s always a little bump up in all these measures of community mindedness. There was a bump like that in Oklahoma City after the Murrah bombing. And the bad news is, we know the half-life of those spurts — after a snowstorm it’s a couple of weeks, and after a hurricane, it’s about six months. After the bombing in Oklahoma City, it was about 18 months. I only know of one exception to the general rule that these spikes go away quickly, and that’s Pearl Harbor. The Pearl Harbor spike never went away. People who lived through Pearl

After a hurricane, or a flood, or an earthquake, there’s always a little bump up in all these measures of community mindedness. The one exception is 9/11. I’ve actually written a little bit about it. The short effect of 9/11 was strongly, powerfully positive on almost all forms of social capital and social connection. But you didn’t need me to find that statistic — all of us knew. I’m sure if we had a “hugs index,” it would have skyrocketed after 9/11. People felt closer to one another, and not just to

SD: So what’s happened to that 9/11 rise in community mindedness? RP: You don’t need an academic to tell you this — for the most part, it’s almost all gone. There’s a little bit left. You can see signs of it in a few places, especially among younger people who lived through 9/11, the ones who were in high school or college at the time of the attacks. They still remain more interested in politics than they would have been otherwise, and that’s a hopeful sign. But if you talk about America as a whole, and frankly, even if you talk about Vermont as a whole, 9/11 didn’t have a significant impact on the longrun downward trend. SD: Since publishing Bowling Alone, you and your colleagues at the Saguaro Institute have been studying ways to build social capital in the absence of a traumatic event. What are some of the ways to do that? RP: We published a book last year, Better Together, which looks at 12 case studies around the U.S. of people who have successfully, in their little part of the world, reversed the trend. I’m going to talk some about that in Middlebury, about an evangelical church in Orange County, California, and a dance group in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and a youth group in Waupun, Wisconsin. SD: It seems like the challenge is to make people want to be civically engaged, to make them see involvement as something other than a duty or a chore. RP: Absolutely. You don’t want civic broccoli. You’ve got to have something that is fun to do, and not just something that’s ‘eat your broccoli . . .’ I think there are lessons from some of the inventions of the previous period of social capital building 100 years ago. Take the Scouts, for example. Here’s the story: you’re living in a growing town, and lots of kids — urchins — are running around. They don’t have friends, they don’t know anybody. It’s certainly not the life Huck Finn was talking about living in rural America in the middle of the 19th century. And a guy comes to town and says, “Have I got a deal for you. Shorts. And beanies. And little badges. And it’s going to be just like Huck Finn’s friends on the banks of the Mississippi.” And the amazing thing was, it worked. I’m not trying to enter any of the current public debates about the Scouts. I’m thinking of it as a social insti-

SD: I see some of that happening with the development of fun, userfriendly tools that connect people online. Do you? RP: We have four major social capital projects right now, and one of them is on the Internet. In particular, we’re looking at forms of Internet activity, which have the potential for creating new, real face-to-face connections which didn’t previously exist. The general category is called “convening technologies,” but the one that we’re doing the most research on is Meetup. com. It uses technology to enable you to meet people you didn’t otherwise know, and would not have otherwise ever met, but you actually do meet them, and it’s not just a cyberfriend; it’s someone who actually could bring you some chicken soup. We did a lot of research around the country last summer. We went to a large number of meetups, and actually sat down with the dachshund owners of Seattle, or the stayat-home moms of Dallas, or the wiccans of New York City. We know that people are actually making new contacts in these groups. They begin by talking about dachshunds or Harry Potter, or whatever the topic is, but they do make new friends, who they then go off to have coffee with, or share a commuting ride with. So it’s actually a real generator of new social capital . . . But it has the possibility to become one more screen in front of which people sit without actually connecting with real people. I’m definitely not a cyberphobe, but I’m also, maybe because of my age, a little skeptical about whether the Internet is just going to automatically fix all our problems. Too often over the last 10 years, people have said, “Ah, this new Internet invention is going to turn out to render friendship irrelevant.” And then it doesn’t. So I’m a little on the cautious side. 쩾

tution. It does two things at once. It has a very clear civic motivation, which is summed up in the motto — “A scout is trustworthy, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” And then you pair that very clear, civic, moral message with pure fun — camping. Just reflecting on my own life, I was hanging out in the Scouts because I really liked camping, and going out in the forest and earning all these merit badges. And it certainly was not broccoli, but along the way, I was learning “trustworthy, helpful, friendly, etc.”

Martin McDonagh, a contempoThe Cripple of rary, award-winning Irish playwright, Inishmaan is a born storyteller.

Inishmaan is the first in his Aran Island trilogy. A blasphemously funny tragicomedy in the tradition of Beauty Queen, it has “a biteen” more heart. The setting of Cripple is the Island of Inishmaan, a rocky, three-mile stretch of land off the coast of western Ireland. The time is circa 1934. The event that shakes up the otherwise uneventful island existence is the historically accurate arrival of Hollywood film-director Stephen Flaherty, who selects a remote coastal region nearby for the production of his film, The Man of Aran. We never catch sight of the director or film set. But the movie gives the island’s official gossipmonger, Johnnypateenmike (John David Alexander), his first real scoop after years of having to make do with trivial squabbles and misbehavior; here

cow-tipping is big news. Intent on being part of the action, the island’s young people — Slippy Helen (Alexandra Sevakian) and her brother Bartley (Colin Cramer) — begin bribing the mysterious Babby Bobby (Seth Jarvis) to ferry them by boat to the filming location. And our teenage hero Cripple Billy (Jason Briody) is determined not to be left behind. For him, a job in the film represents a rare chance to escape the place where even his well-intentioned foster “Aunties,” Kate and Eileen Osbourne (Kelly J. Thomas & Elisabeth Lehr), see nothing wrong in appending the word “cripple” to his name. To reveal much more would spoil the fun of the evening. Suffice it to say that Cripple Billy does indeed make it off the island, and the ripple effect is “fecking” wonderful. McDonagh’s quintessential twists in the second act keep the play enticing and suspenseful.

equal parts sleazy, obnoxious and delightful. His scene with his drunken Mammy — in a pitch-perfect, wellcrafted performance by Ruth Wallman — is one of the evening’s many highlights. As Bartley, Colin Cramer gives a charming, if stilted, performance. His winning smile and youthful innocence compensate for his uneven comedic timing, however. Kenneth Wade is also quite likable as the Doctor who, unfortunately, never seems to be taken seriously. Seth Jarvis is wonderfully subdued as Babby Bobby. There is another story being told behind his eyes; his moments onstage are frequently riveting, especially in his moody interactions with Cripple Billy. Every actor in this finely tuned ensemble has scene-stealing moments, but none surpasses Alexandra Sevakian. Her Helen is a spitfire ever on the go, frightening in her commitment to violence, while her smile

RUTH WALLMAN AS MAMMY, JOHN DAVID ALEXANDER AS JOHNNYPATEENMIKE

As we follow Billy’s odyssey and its effect on the other islanders, the use of Man of Aran emerges as far more than a nifty little plot device. It cleverly juxtaposes reality and makebelieve. Flaherty’s film controversially portrayed Irish coastal life as idyllic. McDonagh’s play explodes the romantic myths propagated by Flaherty’s actual film. But a well-made play is only as good as the actors in it, and this production boasts a superlative ensemble. Jason Briody has the arduous task of transforming into pretzel-bent Billy and carries it off well. He manages to make Billy’s hopes urgently real while still maintaining a quiet, touching dignity. Kelly J. Thomas and Elisabeth Lehr play a pair of widowed generalstore owners. Thomas’ other-worldliness comfortably balances Lehr’s more controlling character. Together, they capture the essence of worrisome Irish foster parents. But Lehr pushes too forcefully in her attempt to deliver one of the playwright’s emotional wallops late in the performance. The always-solid John Alexander embodies a Johnnypateenmike who is

simultaneously chills and charms. Bob Wolff ’s multi-tiered set maximizes the performance space nicely. But aside from a shimmering water effect in Act One, Bill Kneen’s rudimentary light design fails to add much, if any, atmosphere. Director Joanne Farrell and her ensemble clearly love this play, and she handles it with an agile hand. The pace provides a nice equilibrium between the play’s brash and quiet moments. A simply staged but highly effective scene in Act Two shows the majority of the cast watching a movie. As in any group viewing experience, some are paying attention to the film, others are paying attention to each other. It’s a beautifully timed and hysterically acted study in human relationships. Minor quibbles aside — it’s a shame, for example, that Farrell’s scene transitions aren’t covered by music — Champlain Players’ Cripple of Inishmaan portrays an admirable array of diverse, deeply developed characters from one of the most wickedly funny and heartbreaking playwrights working today. m

A SENSE OF PLAYS Can original, Vermont-focused adaptations lure audiences back to local theater? STORY: MARGOT HARRISON IMAGES: JORDAN SILVERMAN

Shakespeare said the theater’s goal is “to hold . . . the mirror up to nature” — to show the audience its virtues and vices, its hopes and fears, its past and future. Drama reflects its community, and two Vermont theater companies are taking that dictum to heart this spring, as they produce plays that “hold the mirror up” to life and mores in the Green Mountain State. One production looks to Vermont’s past, the other to its present. Lost Nation Theater’s Stone, which is currently in rehearsal, tells the stories of workers in Barre’s once-thriving granite industry. Vermont Stage Company’s Vanya/Vermont, starting its run this Wednesday, sets Anton Chekhov’s 1899 classic Uncle Vanya on a modern-day organic farm, where references to St. Petersburg and samovars are replaced by lines about Manhattan and Vicodin. Two Vermont-themed plays in one season: Is it a coincidence?

Perhaps not. In the past year, both Montpelier’s Lost Nation and Burlington’s Vermont Stage have seen unexpected declines in ticket sales — part of a regional slump that has also affected highly touted shows presented by the Flynn and Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center. Some commentators, including Lost Nation Artistic Director Kim Bent, have suggested that recent events — the war, the election — have driven Vermont’s theater-goers into their cocoons. Bent and Mark Nash, artistic director of Vermont Stage, are counting on plays with local relevance and grassroots appeal to coax them out again, or even appeal to a larger audience that doesn’t usually look to the stage for its entertainment. “I think that theater should reflect the community in which it’s produced. To have something specifically created with the community in mind is a producer’s

Likewise, Bent says that Stone, which he’s writing and directing for Lost Nation, “is an audience-broadening activity for us.” Both directors hasten to add that the Vermont-themed plays were conceived well before the onset of their recent budget woes. Both also mobilized emergency fundraising efforts that

When audiences arrive for the show, they’ll find actual sculptors working in the lobby and in front of the building — some creating clay models, others perhaps carving letters into stone slabs. In the lobby, attendees can view historical exhibits created by

Stone was inspired by Tomasi’s 1949 novel Like Lesser Gods, which chronicles the lives of granite workers in Barre. “I had always had it at the back of my head to team up with a great American writer, like Arthur Miller, who could take that

Whatever their commercial potential, Stone and Vanya/ Vermont might best be qualified as labors of love. Each emerges from a director’s long-time affection for a text: New York-based director Jason Jacobs’ for Uncle Vanya; Bent’s for the Barre-set novels of Vermont author Mari Tomasi. And both plays raise provocative questions about Vermont’s legacy and its future. From April to mid-October, Lost Nation Theater resides in Montpelier’s City Hall, with a stage in the lofty central room. Its offices are nested in the balcony. When the company first moved in, in 1989, the space was “empty, unused,” says Bent. “We painted it, put curtains on the

one of Lost Nation’s partners in the show, Barre’s Vermont Granite Museum. When the curtain rises, they’ll be serenaded by “a couple of string players, a couple of piano players, a concertina and guitar,” says Bent. The musicians will play a rich repertoire of ethnic music, from Scottish laments to Italian arias. During the play, slide projections will flicker over the audience’s heads, and actors in period dress will brush past as they head up the aisles toward the stage. It’s all part of an effort to “make the audience feel like part of the show,” says Bent, who has shoulder-length gray hair, glasses, and a fondness for pointing out metaphors and parallels.

material and make it into a great American play,” says Bent. Though Miller — who died in February — wasn’t available, Bent took notice when Shelburne’s New England Press put Tomasi’s novel back in print, then followed it up with last year’s publication of Men Against Granite. The latter work consists of hitherto unpublished material from a WPA oral-history project conducted by Tomasi and Roaldus Richmond in the late 1930s. As its introduction states, “Benjamin Botkin, the national folklore editor for the Writers’ Project, was horrified by the rise of fascism in Europe, so he charged his writers to find occupationally and ethnically diverse life histories.” In Vermont, >> 30A

PHOTO FROM MEN AGAINST GRANITE

People might be interested in coming to this show who aren’t regular theatergoers necessarily . . . for very specific personal reasons having to do with the history of the area, the granite industry. KIM BENT, LOST NATION THEATER

“Barre was the obvious choice.” Bent explains that around 1900, the granite industry and railroads attracted a huge influx of people to Barre, including “Italian sculptors, Scottish quarrymen, Swedish workers, Spanish stoneworkers and, to some degree, French-Canadians.” Assigned to take snapshots of this rich cultural pageant, Tomasi and Richmond interviewed Barre residents and produced a series of narratives in what Bent calls “pretty authentic speech,” representing not just granite workers but “store owners, the gypsy peddler on the street, bartenders . . . It’s a portrait of a community that was really complex.” As Bent and Lost Nation Co-Artistic Director Kathleen Keenan read the book, it occurred to them that they could take a “more documentary approach to the material and let these people speak for themselves on stage.” In combination, those individual voices create a community portrait, “kind of a Spoon River/Under Milkwood-esque type of event that would give people a real sense of the local origins of folks here,” Bent suggests. Taking on Men Against Granite threatened to be a monumental task. Bent had to com-

press 300 pages and “lots of colorful characters” into two hours of stage time. His guiding principle was to “bring out the parallel between the quarrying and sculpting of the stone into something beautiful, and the gradual formation of a coherent community from these disparate elements,” he says. “The real focus becomes the relationship between the artist-sculptor and his work.” Accordingly, Bent “took the liberty” of using the figure of sculptor Elia Corti as his narrator. Men Against Granite tells the story of his 1903 murder in a political brawl in the words of an Italian grocer. Corti’s famous monument can still be seen in Barre’s Hope Cemetery. “The interesting thing about Corti is that he was apparently a pretty nonverbal person,” says Bent. “So he’ll speak minimally in the show and be a thread, tying things together.” Another challenge was bringing out the drama in a source text that is essentially a series of monologues. Although first-person accounts remain at the center of the play, Bent looked for opportunities to expand and enliven them. In one of the play’s monologues, for instance, an Italian widow who runs a rooming house describes the

people who gather on a Sunday afternoon for music and conversation. “She points out characters around the piano, and the tableau in the background comes to life, almost like a production number,” Bent says. He also created “collaged monologues” of different quarry workers whose words “segue” into one another. Thus, “The process of quarrying the stone emerges as a kind of dance.” The process of bringing Stone to the stage began last fall, with a series of “invited audience” sessions in which actors read the material in early draft form. In mid-March, Bent finalized his cast of 12, which includes John David Alexander of Burlington and Lost Nation veterans Bill Pelton, Mary Wheeler, Judy Milstein and Elizabeth Wilcox, among others. They’ll be dressed in costumes by Cora Fauser and assuming appropriate accents to represent the ethnic rainbow of mid-century Barre. “The challenge of sustaining your accent when you’re hearing several different others is particularly difficult,” says Bent. “It’s like singing harmony. In our assimilated state, we don’t really get to hear that anymore.” There’s an inherent drama — perhaps even tragedy — in the history of Barre’s stonecutters.

Even as they wrestled recalcitrant granite into beautiful forms, many fell prey to the ugly fate of “stonecutter’s TB,� as accumulated silica particles lacerated their lungs. Explaining what drew him to the material, Bent says, “There’s this central scene in Like Lesser Gods where this stonecutter’s doctor is asking him, ‘Why do you do it, knowing that this is killing you?’ The carver responds by saying, ‘You have to cut it to know it is hard stone — beautiful, lasting. Always when I carve a name on a memorial, I feel, well, important. God creates new life, and when He sees fit to take it away, we stonecutters take up where He left off. We take up the chisel and carve the name, to make a memory of that life.’� Working on the project has made Bent realize that “a name isn’t just a name . . . especially when you’re talking about how you’re going to be remembered,� he says. He’s found himself becoming “more conscious of names� and the implicit connections they make. For instance, he cites a moment in the play when actress Mary Wheeler, a “seventh- or eighth-generation Vermonter� from Barre, tells a

story that involves an “Ezekiel Wheeler.� Is the actress evoking her real ancestor through the medium of art, or is this just a coincidence? Bent doesn’t know, but he can say with confidence that “the names of people that are talked about in [Men Against Granite] are going to be reflected in the audience.� And that built-in connection to the local audience is part of the play’s appeal. Bent thinks “People might be interested in coming to this show who aren’t regular theater-goers necessarily . . . for very specific personal reasons having to do with the history of the area, the granite industry.� Others, he suggests, might be drawn by the possibility of learning something new about Barre, a place they thought they knew. Lost Nation has produced Vermont-themed material before. In 1997, the TimesArgus commissioned the company to do a play in honor of the paper’s centennial. Bent acknowledges, “What happened for us last year with the drop-off in audience made us look all that much harder at our programming choices for this year. There probably was some influence there toward doing work that we thought

would be totally connected with the community. At the same time,” he adds, “this is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.” If Stone reconstructs a lost world, Vanya/Vermont seems almost painfully contemporary. Kathryn Blume, who wrote the update and is playing the role of Sonya, describes one of the play’s central dilemmas as that of a Generation X-er facing middle age. “You’re starting to contend with ‘I had huge dreams, I was gonna conquer the world. What am I really doing with my life? How many choices do I have now?’” Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, set on a country estate, explores the plight of characters who discover too late that they’re going nowhere — that they’ve given their best years to thankless, perhaps useless, labor. The title

character and his niece, Sonya, have devoted themselves to working the estate in order to support Sonya’s father, a celebrated old academic blowhard. But when the professor and his beautiful young second wife come to visit, Vanya sinks into depression, finally realizing how unworthy the old man is of his sacrifice. It doesn’t help that Vanya’s besotted with the young wife — and so is his friend Dr. Astrov, who swigs vodka to forget about the scenes of peasant suffering he witnesses. In his spare time, Astrov plants trees, lamenting that in these modern times, “Forests are ever fewer and fewer, rivers dry up, wildlife is wiped out, [and] the climate is spoiled” by the hand of man. That sort of proto-environmentalist rhetoric convinced director Jason Jacobs that Vanya belonged in Vermont. When Chekhov used Dr. Astrov to discuss deforestation in Russia,

Jacobs says, he was “asking this thematic question of ‘What are we doing to our landscape — and if we’re treating our environment this way, what are we doing to each other?’ That seems to make a lot of sense in looking at the type of development that’s happening all over America and that Vermont has been staving off.” Jacobs, who’s the co-artistic director of New York’s Theatre Askew, has been friends with Blume since college. Visiting her here over the course of a decade, he says, “I got a perspective on how Vermont is so different from anywhere else I go in America. I wanted to work on something that would speak specifically to this community. Being a “big Chekhov fan,” he had the idea of “taking the play and plunking it in this community in a really visceral, valid way.” Jacobs discussed his idea with

Blume, who “immediately said, ‘Well, yes, Vanya would be an organic farmer,’” he recalls. “She knew how to look at these characters.” “Based on those conversations, I started writing,” Blume chimes in. The writing process began last summer; new drafts emerged from a reading in August and a workshop in January. Jacobs, who’d “studied the play intensively in grad school,” gave Blume feedback about where particular moments fit in Chekhov’s dramatic arc. Blume hammered out modern dialogue, following the original more or less scene by scene. “It really started to have its own voice,” Jacobs says. “[Blume] found a humor that’s true to Chekhov and runs throughout the whole play and undercuts the angst — pulls the rug out from under it.” At an afternoon rehearsal at FlynnSpace, less than a week before opening night, the melding of Chekhov and the 21st

are very few pop-culture professors” these days, they decided to transform the character of the pompous academic into an “airport novelist,” someone who could still sweep into a small town and be treated like visiting royalty. Waffles, Vanya’s down-atthe-heels-neighbor with folksy speech patterns, is now “an oldtime Vermonter,” says Blume. Mike Astor, who runs a land trust, now “talks about sprawl and traffic and Wal-Mart and the decline of community values.” And earthy mother-figure Marina is given to expressions such as “Oh, poop on a rope!” Will the topical and local references pull in local viewers? Nash declines to offer a prediction, saying, “If I knew how to read an audience, I’d probably be in the stock market instead of in the theater.” He does note, though, that two of the most successful productions in Vermont Stage history were Vermont-themed: an adapta-

took heed was Michael Katz, a professor of Russian at Middlebury and sometime teacher of Chekhov. Katz and his colleague Ludmila Bilkic plan to attend the play with 15 or 20 students. Asked to explain the contemporary appeal of a Chekhov play, Katz says, “I think Chekhov is the most tolerant and the least judgmental of Russian writers. There are no villains in a Chekhov play. There are people who try their hardest to live their lives and be happy, but they’re all fallible, and we sympathize with them. It’s a very modern approach.” Katz sees Vanya/Vermont’s environmentalist overtones as true to Chekhov, who went beyond his contemporaries’ lyrical nature descriptions. “Chekhov is actually issuing cautions,” Katz explains, “saying, ‘We should be careful of nature, because there’s not as much of it as there used to be.’” Such warnings are likely to resonate

with a Vermont audience. Kim Bent sees an interesting parallel between Stone and Vanya/Vermont. “In both cases there’s a template that’s worked with to create something else,” he says. “They’re very different stories, but we’re both trying to make theater connect to modern audiences.” Is the immediacy of a local setting enough to tempt Vermonters, particularly young ones, away from the television and Internet and into the theater? Or are they content to see themselves reflected in the homesteading Montgomery Center couple on “Wife Swap”? We go to the theater, of course, not just for the mirroring — we can get that at home — but to gain new insights into the same old problems; to see ourselves from strange and revelatory angles. Perhaps the alchemy of 19th-century Russia and present-day Vermont, like that of Mari Tomasi’s Barre and

tion of Chris Bohjalian’s Midwives and 1998’s Mad River Rising. He adds that “the advance sales have been pretty good, though more and more people are waiting till the last minute.” Nash is also “encouraged” by a 25 percent increase in subscription sales over last year, which he says inclines him to believe that “the first two shows of the season, which didn’t sell as well as we expected, were an anomaly, partly brought on by the election.” He acknowledges that Vanya/Vermont may be “tricky to sell,” because people won’t understand what it is, but he hopes that “in the first week there will be a real buzz around the play.” As an advance marketing tactic, Nash mailed publicity packets for Vanya to humanities faculty at the University of Vermont, St. Michael’s College, Middlebury College and Champlain College.

century is apparent. The scene is easily recognizable from the original as a climactic confrontation between Vanya — now named John Peterson — and Astrov, now “Mike Astor.” But the language has a different ring. “Do you remember that ‘Star Trek’ episode where Kirk falls in love with the perfect woman?” asks Nash, playing John. Skinny, balding and spectacled, he exudes morose nerdiness as he begs Mike to be his loyal Spock and help him “forget” recent events — or, failing that, to give him “a scrip for Prozac.” “This is your life,” intones the stalwart Mike, played by New York actor Larry Gleason. How did Vanya morph from poetry-quoting Dostoyevsky wannabe to “Star Trek” geek? “Normally when you translate the play, you translate the language,” says Blume. “What we’re doing is a cultural translation.” For instance, after she and Jacobs observed that “there

their own monikers. Megan Moir, who owns a house on West Lane, calls her street “Crack Lane� because of the drug trade she suspects is happening nearby. Moir was one of a handful of residents who came to the Winooski Family Center last Wednesday to learn how to start a neighborhood-watch program. Her house was burglarized last year. Nearly everyone else at the meeting had a similar story. At the October meeting, Winooski Police Chief Steve McQueen reported that in 2003, his department made 765 calls to the small neighborhood, resulting in 180 arrests. The 2004 Crime Report has not yet been released, but anecdotal evidence suggests that the high-crime trend continued in the West End, at least during the first half of the year, before the neighbors started to organize. Ladd notes that the watch training is part of a larger effort to form a neighborhood association; the city also sponsored several study circles over the last few months. Even Moir admits that there seems to be some momentum. “It is getting better,� she says.

While all eyes are on Winooski’s massive downtown redevelopment, a smaller, quieter effort is underway to rehabilitate the Onion City’s “West End� — an area stretching from West to North Streets, and from Elm Street to the railroad tracks that cross Malletts Bay Avenue. It’s the neighborhood formerly known as “the Flats.� A group of 75 citizens discussed the informal name-change at an October meeting convened to address quality-of-life issues in the neighborhood. A few of the people who attended said they didn’t like the old name, according to J. Ladd, Winooski’s Community Development Director. When it was coined decades ago, the term contrasted the area with wealthier parts of town, like “the Heights.� “There was some question about whether ‘the Flats’ was a pejorative term,� Ladd explains. The new name, he says, “seems more descriptive,� since the neighborhood is in fact on the west side of the square-mile-large city; the steep streets close to Malletts Bay Avenue are anything but flat. But “the West End� isn’t the neighborhood’s only nickname — some residents have made up

FROM THE HILL Ann Lewis had stiff competition Friday night in Burlington. The director of communications for Friends of Hillary, who also served in the Clinton White House from 1997 to 2000, was up against UVM basketball’s big game against Syracuse. Lewis was here to pay tribute to Vermont Senate President Pro Tem Peter Welch and longtime Democratic Party activists Vi and Ned Coffin, the 2005 recipients of the David W. Curtis Leadership Award. Lewis’ Bush-bashing speech was punctuated by cheers, but not all of them were for her. While she was speaking, about 40 Dems stayed in the lobby to watch the Catamounts beat the Orangemen in an overtime nail-biter.

Those ‘70s Shows

LEZ ZEPPELIN

Music Review: Mr. Crowes Garden, Lez Zeppelin and Ozric Tentacles nterminable guitar solos. Pretentious, pseudo-spiritual lyrics. Questionable personal hygiene. And let’s not forget disco. Yes, I’m talking about the ’70s. Who in their right mind would want to revisit a time when rock stations spun STORY the same Styx track three dozen times a CASEY day? A damn lot of folks, apparently. I REA know, I know. We’re already knee-deep in’80s retro-activity. But the ’70s, with IMAGES MATTHEW their coked-out caricatures and jaunTHORSEN diced jams, are still a major attraction for nostalgia seekers. & Don’t get me wrong. I love the 1970s. RICK Hell, I even spent a little time there. LEVINSON Growing up, I worshipped Led Zeppelin’s powerhouse timekeeper John Bonham. When my parents backed out of buying me a drum kit for fear of the racket I’d create, I set my sights on the guitar. And I had a pretty good go of it for a few years, playing gigs, booking studio time, and practicing scales in my bedroom. But at a certain point I realized I just didn’t have the temperament. Lugging amps around is just not my style. Or maybe I lost my taste for depravity. Nevertheless, last week I decided to do some firsthand investigation into people’s seemingly irrepressible desire to revisit — or in some cases, reinvent — the past. Three concerts at Higher Ground allowed me to do just that. Sets by the reconstituted Black Crowes, the girl-power tribute band Lez Zeppelin and the progressive electro-hippies Ozric Tentacles helped me realize a few things about the Me Decade’s relationship to the rock of today.

I

Round One: March 15, Higher Ground Ballroom Performing under the “top secret” moniker Mr. Crowes Garden, The Black Crowes treated Vermonters to a rare club appearance. Warming up for a full-fledged reunion tour, the band proved their retro strut hasn’t lost its charm. Little has changed since they “took a hiatus” in ’01 — singer Chris Robinson still looks like an emaciated Jesus, although his version is certainly more stoned. Robinson’s bushy beard was bedecked with a single, blood-red braid, which I suspect was his wife Kate

TREY ANASTASIO & MR. CROWES GARDEN

Hudson’s handiwork. Brother Rich was paunchy, pale and possibly hung over, while keyboardist “Steady” Eddie Hawrysch’s corpselike visage would probably scare small children. Guitarist Marc Ford has been brought back into the fold after an eight-year absence, despite well-documented drug problems. With his shag hairdo and neatly trimmed moustache, Ford was a dead ringer for Derek & the Dominoes-era Clapton. Still, his licks were searing, and Chris Robinson remains one of the best white-boy blues screechers around. Blasting through tunes from their six studio efforts, the Crowes veered back and forth between terse, Stonesy rockers and druggy jams. Even though this was an allages show, the crowd was a little long in the tooth. It’s been a while since the band debuted with 1990’s Shake Your Money Maker — an album that might as well have been handed out at the door of my old high school. Jam titan Trey Anastasio joined the Crowes for the encore, tearing through hairy versions of The Beatles’ “Yer Blues” and the Black Crowes’ signature hit “Hard to Handle.” Overall, the experience was a lot like watching the movie Almost Famous, only louder. To their credit, the band is extremely well versed in ’70s rock, capable of aping the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, the Stones or The Band with ease. All of those groups are fantastic, and it’s tough to find fault with an act that emulates them so convincingly.

Round Two: March 18, Higher Ground Showcase Lounge What to say about the all-female Lez Zeppelin? Positives: No Jimmy Page absconding with doe-eyed schoolgirls to give them a crash course in occultism. It’s also fun to watch a guitarist play with a violin bow. Negatives: Their underwhelming musicality and reliance on gimmicks. Slugging their way through the most pedestrian Zep tunes, the band failed to capture the sturm und drang of their mighty namesake.

The crowd was a bizarre mix of snowmobile-jacketed classic rock fans, lesbians and high-schoolers, bonded together in hard-rock rapture. But Lez Zep struggled with tunes any reasonable tribute act would have had down pat. The proto-metal (and pro-Viking) “Immigrant Song” was stripped of its majesty, and the meter-shifting thump of “The Ocean” was marred by the vocalist’s off-key mewling and awkward double entendres. “Dude, that singer is hot,” I later heard one “fan” say to another in the men’s room. “She’s totally got a Shania Twain thing going on.” Sadly, it was true. If you ask me, the world’s best female-fronted Zeppelin tribute band is still Heart.

Round Three: Same night, Higher Ground Ballroom English space-rockers Ozric Tentacles have been around since 1984, but their prog-inflected style never really caught on stateside. It’s a shame, too — of the three ’70s influenced bands I heard last weekend, they were by far the most satisfying. Their pulsing electronics and metallic crunch were closer to Can or King Crimson than the Dead. Regard-less of their techno-metal leanings, band members sported tie-dyed shirts and dreadlocks. Far-out, psychedelic projections featuring cosmic geography and space aliens loomed behind them, as spiraling lights cut through the dark ballroom. Frontman John Egan flitted about the stage, playing a variety of odd wind instruments and making incomprehensible asides in a thick British accent. The turnout was smaller than the one at the Lez Zep show, but those in attendance seemed to be having a fine time.

I’m not going to make any assumptions here, but I suspect some of ’em were even high. Aftermath The latest issue of Rolling Stone — the one with fallen ’70s literary icon Hunter S. Thompson on the cover — features a few paragraphs on the death of modern-rock radio. Apparently, quite a few major-market rock stations are getting edged out by r&b and hip-hop broadcasters. Is this the final deathknell for guitar-driven music? Perhaps rock is on its way to becoming a museum piece, like bebop, a genre painstakingly re-created for the enjoyment of stuffy academics. Only time will tell. My question is why, in the rearview mirror of pop culture, some bands remain visible while others disappear? Who conferred the king’s crown on Led Zeppelin? Why not Black Oak Arkansas or Atlanta Rhythm Section? Kids in today’s ’80s-themed groups think the only bands from that decade were The Cure and Gang of Four. What about Glass Tiger? Spandau Ballet? The fact of the matter is that we tend to remember the bands that were actually good. And, despite hip-hop’s ubiquitous presence on the airwaves and television, high school kids will probably continue to carve Zeppelin’s Four Symbols into study-hall desks. Hell, I did that, and I bet more than a few of the whippersnappers I saw this weekend have, too. Maybe we simply want to celebrate an era that gave fans something besides cross-marketing and contempt. The first thing I did when I got home from the Friday shows was put on Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti. And you know what? It still rocks. m

PRIMO DISTRO

GEARING UP FOR GREGORY Gregory Douglass’ much anticipated Stark may sound like a strippeddown affair — more sonically similar to his 1998 debut If I Were a Man than to the pop sheen of Teeter and Pseudo-Rotary. But despite its bare-sounding title, Douglass says there’s plenty of aural embellishment on the new album. “It’s an incredible collaboration with all sorts of great musicians and friends. Lots of new instruments, too, like violin, cello, upright bass and even a madrigal choir.” Raising the capital for an independent release can be a struggle, but Douglass has come up with a unique strategy. By offering fans a chance to pre-order the new record, he hopes to alleviate potential cash-flow problems. In addition to a discounted price, pre-purchasers will be able to enjoy Stark well before it’s available in stores — as early as June, according to Douglass. To further sweeten the deal, the CD ships with four to five bonus tracks not included on the regular release. Still not enough? “You’re making it possible for me to release a new record, so you’ll also receive a ton of thanks,” Douglass says. The always-busy performer is heading out on tour this spring, and will once again be making house calls. “I spend a big part of the tours traveling around to people’s living rooms and giving concerts,” he says. “It has become one of my favorite things to do, and it really helps to keep me on the road.” For more information, including tour dates, visit http://www.gregorydouglass.com.

GREGORY DOUGLASS

FOR THE RECORD Burlington’s Manifest Nexto Me have undergone a major musical makeover since their 2003 release Victim Oblivion. Eschewing their original acid-jazz leanings for a darker sound, the group now incorporates fuzzed-out psychedelic rock and chant-style vocals into their heady sonic stew. Lineup changes may have had something to do with the group’s sonic shift; their original guitarist and drummer departed amicably last year. Ex-viperHouse skinsman P.J. Davidian temporarily occupied the drum stool, but Tobias Rower of live electro act Concentric is now handling percussion duties. Manifest are currently finishing up their as-yet-untitled sophomore album, slated for release this spring. Local record label Grand Design Music Company is lending a hand with production and promotion chores, and it’s a good bet that when the disc does come out, it’ll bear the GD imprint. It’s looking to be a busy recording season for a lot of other Burlington bands as well; alt-country act The Middle Eight are nearing the finish line on their new album, and the similarly styled Will are currently holed up with engineer Daryl Rabidoux. Spazzy darlings The Jazz Guys also recently laid down tracks with the increasingly busy engineer. Vermont’s garage-pop wonders Raquel’s Boys are slated to hit the studio soon, and word on the street is that ballsy rockers The Horse are looking to do the same. With all this activity, local music fans will have plenty of tunes to blast from their porches this summer.

You might know Justin Hoy as the host of the music-performance show “VTLive” on Burlington’s UPN affiliate. But you’re probably not aware that he’s the president and CEO of the Vermont-based Halogen Records. Founded in 1997, the imprint not only releases CDs, but also provides promotional support and distribution for its growing roster. Halogen recently inked a distro deal with Universal — not bad for a label started in a college dorm room. “This is great news for Halogen and our artists,” Hoy says. Speaking of its artists, Halogen is set to release the upcoming solo effort from exTurtles vocalist Howard Kaylan. As one half of famed singing duo Flo & Eddie, Kaylan spent time in Frank Zappa’s whacked-out Mothers of Invention. He also provided background vocals for countless albums including T. Rex’s glam masterpiece Electric Warrior. Remember the falsetto bit on “Get It On, Bang a Gong?” Well, Kaylan’s in there somewhere. Curiously, his new record features an appearance from actor/raconteur/sometime troubadour Billy Bob Thorton. Halogen has recently teamed up with New York-based indie label American Blood Recordings in a deal that will give the Vermont company global distribution through Island and Universal Records UK. “All of these major things are happening for Halogen right now, and there’s more still on the way,” Hoy says. “We hope to represent some of our local talent on a national scale before too long.” You can visit the label online at http://www.halogen records.com.

SUPER FREAKS :: Montréal electro-rockers Les Georges Leningrad’s frisky tunes combine lean instrumentation with spastic improvisation. Brash, original and just a tad dangerous, their dance-ready mix of dirty disco and gritty post-punk is absolutely infectious. But there’s more to the band than just music — Les Georges are notorious for their strange costumes and over-the-top stage antics. Check ’em out this Thursday at Club Metronome with James Kochalka Superstar, Kiss Me Deadly & Jeff Howell.

EDGY ENERGY :: Burlington-based modern rock quartet Caralina keep the spirit of ’90s alternative music alive. Driving and melodic, their sound fuses the pop hooks of Weezer with the moody introspection of the Smashing Pumpkins. Although the band just recently released its debut disc The Skeletons, a follow-up is already in the works. Catch Caralina at 135 Pearl this Monday with fellow rockers Elementary Thought Process, Endless Mike & Beagle Club.

5 SECONDS EXPIRED, 5 SECONDS EXPIRED

LOWELL THOMPSON, TURN (Self-released, CD)

Back in the mid-’90s, a group called Slush helped define the Burlington heavy music scene. A couple of years into their reign, they changed their name to 5 Seconds Expired and released Null, a smartly arranged blast of polyrhythmic post-hardcore. But subsequent lineup changes sapped the band of some of its dynamic, and by the time celebrated local venue Club Toast closed its doors, remaining members had moved on to other projects. This year sees the unlikely return of 5SE. The good news is that much of their stun-gun muscularity remains intact. Unfortunately, singer Jeff Howlett bites off more than he can chew, and the band often sounds like it’s emerged from a hard-rock time capsule. Still, 5SE’s new self-titled CD will please fans of start-stop riffing and turn-on-a-dime meter shifts. The band — reunited with renowned Canadian producer Glen Robinson — began work on the new disc back in 2001, but scheduling conflicts and other projects kept things on hold until ’04. Suffice it to say, metal, hardcore and even progressive rock have changed quite a bit since 5SE’s heyday. Opening track “Memory” is a great example of the band’s brainy might. Buzzing, chunky guitars are bashed back and forth in a tempest of powerful percussion. Howlett sticks within his vocal range on the cut and, for the most part, holds his own. An enigmatic performer, Howlett has the ability to command the stage. That’s tough to convey on a recording. “Blanket” opens with a bang, as Mack-truck-sized guitars drive the tune through dark sonic corridors. It’s hard not to be struck with 5SE’s similarities to other acts, however. Tool is an obvious reference point, but there are even hints of other local bands from the ’90s in the group’s arrangements. They still pack a wallop from time to time, though. The shape-shifting chord progression on “Void” has real blood and guts. Unfortunately, Howlett’s less-than perfect pitch and amateur lyrics tend to distract. It probably isn’t advisable to try to run toe-to-toe with the hyper-intelligent musicians in Tool — especially singer Maynard James Keenan. And, in an era filled with truly scary black metal and grindcore acts, 5SE sound pretty tame. I was hoping for a little more oomph from the boys, and maybe it’ll happen on their next release. As it stands, 5 Seconds Expired hovers frustratingly between the compelling and the banal. Hear for yourself this Wednesday, March 23, when they play the Second Floor in Burlington with God Below Me, Steel Reign and Arkain.

Burlington singer-songwriter Lowell Thompson is a familiar face around Vermont, playing low-key sets in small venues and cafés on a fairly regular basis. Last year, he took the grand prize in Advance Music’s 2004 Acoustic Guitar Search — an accomplishment that’s bound to lead to even more gigs. Turn is his four-song debut EP, which he made at home in ’03. Thompson played all the instruments on Turn, recording into an eight-track recorder. For those not hip to the lingo, that’s a device that allows you to record eight voices or instruments on separate tracks, not the tapes your Uncle Jimmy used to play. For the most part, the one-man-band concept works, but even if he could clone a whole band of Lowells, I’d recommend he find another drummer. Still, the alt-country/roots/Americana vibe is well realized on the disc. Turn is more than just a guy and his guitar; it’s one guy, a guitar, bass, drums, a world-weary voice and four pretty good songs. “Words,” the first, opens with deep, throbbing bass that nicely fits Thompson’s description of “waking up in another place with a beating head.” “Turn Me Home” features a distant, wailing slide guitar that evokes a cold, lonesome wind as well as the sound of a bus whining down the highway. The desperate lyrics suggest that through the protagonist is sitting on her front porch, he’s probably not getting inside her house. “Broken Hearts (in a Bag)” opens with chiming, reverb-drenched guitar tones. The calm doesn’t last long, though, and the tune soon builds to a mighty clatter. The disc’s loudest song, it unfortunately has the weakest lyrics and is a bit derivative. “Empty Tears” is a revved-up country weeper. “I gave you a nickel for your patience,” Thompson sings, upping the ante from the proverbial penny. The line “just because you hit the bottle doesn’t mean you hit the wall” contains classic country wordplay, but there’s more to it than just a hokey joke — Thompson’s delivery rings true. The songs on Turn are somewhat slow, but they’re hardly laid-back. Thompson may not be anxious, but he’s definitely angsty. Hear him with Silo and Delorean, Wednesday, March 30, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.

OPENINGS

Photo Synthesis

C EXHIBIT “Art/Document: Defining American Photography.” A group exhibit of photographic works. Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington. Through April 24.

TALK “The Other Vermont: Lewis Hine and the Child Labor Movement,” March 30, Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington, 12:15 p.m.

ARTWORK “Jo Bodeon, a ‘Back-Roper’ in Mule Room, Chace Cotton Mill, Burlington, VT,“ May 1909 by Lewis W. Hine

oined in 1839 by Englishman Sir John Herschel, the noun “photography” comes from the Greek words for “light” and “writing.” Two visions of that medium are presently on display at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum exhibition “Art/Document: Defining American Photography.” The show frames a debate that began with the genre’s inception and became acute when George Eastman brought portraiture to the masses with his invention of flexible film in 1884: Was photography’s primary use to be documentary, or was it adequate for producing art as well? By the first decade of the 20th century, Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and other like-minded photographers calling themselves the Photo-Secessionists were championing the “art for art’s sake” side of the debate. “Art/Document” juxtaposes major Photo-Secessionist works with 40 photographs by Lewis Hine (1874-1940) depicting child-labor practices, which he produced for the National Labor Committee. Hine’s images at the Fleming specifically capture conditions in Vermont. Considering that connection, his works may be of the most interest to average museum visitors. The pictures echo a phase of the state’s history that’s not often recalled. “Jo Bodeon, a ‘Back-Roper’ in Mule Room” is one of several shots Hine took at Burlington’s Chace Mill. The boy Jo Bodeon stands in the middle of a long aisle of monotonously impersonal machines. Hine titled many of his photos as if he were gathering evidence to indict the practice of child labor, which he probably felt he was. A group of girls outside the mill, showing Barrett Street in the background, was captioned: “Some of the youngest girls in the Chace Mill, Burlington, VT. Girl’s names are Mabel Blanchette (left hand end), Lodell Blanchette, (right hand end), and Agnes Fountain, young girl in the middle. 6 pm May 6, 1909.” Other Hine photos include newsboys in the snow and kids working on farms and at lumber mills. The photographer traveled around the country on a mission against child labor, and this exhibition suggests that Vermont was one of his most fertile fields for finding social injustice. Hine’s captions include phrases such as “most are illiterate” and “he said he would rather go to school.” The Fleming’s Photo-Secessionist works seem rarified by comparison. Among them are pieces by Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934), Eduard Steichen (1879-1973), Paul Strand (1890-1976) and Stieglitz himself. A 1902 article in Amateur Photographer magazine described

the Photo-Secessionists as trying “to produce pictures by means of photography. Pictures, that is to say, which shall stand the test of criticism that one would apply to a picture in any other medium . . . and shall involve some expression of the personal feeling of the photographer.” Some photo enthusiasts may suggest that the PhotoSecessionists were a little ahead of their time. Several of those artists were still experimenting in the first years of the 1900s, and much of their fuzzy-edged photography seems to be attempts at duplicating lithography. After World War I they would go on to produce very different, and arguably stronger, works. In his “self-portrait,” Steichen presents himself in the guise of a foppish, 18th-century painter. Käsebier’s 1899 “The Manger” is a sort of Art Nouveau biblical idyll. Strand’s “City Hall Park” is a vertical piece taken from a few floors above the street and overlooking a Manhattan scene in winter. It’s a strong composition, and is clearly influenced by French Impressionist painters rather than the great American photographers of the Civil War era. Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) represents both traditions. As a photographer of a later generation, she seems to have ended the art-versus-documentary debate. She recognized that the medium’s messages are most powerfully crafted with solid aesthetic decisions. Four shots from Lange’s 1935 series in Nipoma, California, seem to conclude the exhibition. Her penultimate portrait of the series has become an icon of the Great Depression: a mother with a weathered face looking anxious and caring for three children. In the tradition of Lewis Hine, Lange captioned the photos in detail: “Nipoma, Calif. Mar. 1936. Migrant agricultural worker’s family. Seven hungry children. Mother aged 32, the father is a native Californian. Destitute in a pea pickers camp, because of the failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tent in order to buy food. Most of the 2,500 people in this camp were destitute.” In the tradition of the Photo-Secessionists, Lange retouched the values in her original negative to give it greater impact. While the works of the Photo-Secessionists each involved “some expression of the personal feeling of the photographer,” Hine’s works conveyed personal feelings strong enough to arouse calls for political reform. Stieglitz, great artist though he was, never tried that. m

SHORTS

The Sea Inside ★★★★

I ATTORNEYCLIENT PRIVILEGE Bardem bums a smoke off his lawyer, played by Belen Rueda.

’ve been saying it for years: Javier Bardem is one of the world’s most underrated actors. Sure, he’s the first Spaniard ever to receive a Best Actor Oscar nomination (for his performance in 2000’s Before Night Falls), and, yes, he snagged a relatively small role in last year’s Collateral, which exposed him for the first time to a mainstream American audience. But this is a guy Al Pacino called at 3 o’ clock in the morning to heap praises on after watching one of his films. Where are the leading roles a performer of his caliber deserves? Where are the top-drawer directors who should be clamoring to work with him? Perhaps the closest he has come so far to a project worthy of his talent — and a director capable of tapping deeply into it — is Alejandro (Open Your Eyes) Amenabar’s The Sea Inside, winner of this year’s Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It is based on the true story of a man named Ramon Sampedro who grew up in Galicia, Spain, broke his neck in a diving accident when he was young, was left a quadriplegic, and spent the next 28 years of his life fighting for the right to end it. In trademark fashion, Bardem is barely recognizable, disappearing into the character 20 years his senior. The makeup team, which labored over him for five hours every morning, was also Oscar-nominated for their work here. The movie offers a partially fictionalized portrait of Sampedro’s final months. It’s a measure of the actor’s gifts that he creates a character who challenges, rivets, moves and charms the viewer while, for the most part, lying in bed motionless from the neck down. From a small room on the second floor of his brother’s farmhouse, which he jokingly calls his “kingdom,” Sampedro conducts a right-to-die campaign, writes and oversees publication of a book of poems, and gradually becomes a national celebrity. He submits to the ministrations of a devoted group that includes his sister-in-law and nephew as well as a female assistant and a young factory worker (Lola Duenas), who bicycles out to meet Sampedro

after seeing him interviewed on TV. Belen Rueda costars as the lawyer who takes on his case. She has special insight into Sampedro’s situation because she suffers from a degenerative condition and finds herself confronted with many of the quality-of-life concerns he faces. To one extent or another, all of the women in his circle fall in love with him. His eyes, his smile and his voice reveal unusual tenderness, intelligence and strength. But Sampedro defines love differently than other men: The one who does truly love him, he explains, will help him die. The film makes a strong case in favor of euthanasia, always underscoring the fact that it is an argument made on behalf of one man and not all quadriplegics. In one darkly comic scene, a wheelchair-bound priest pays a visit to the farmhouse in hopes of convincing Sampedro that his life is still worth living. Since his chair won’t fit up the home’s stairway, messages are carried back and forth by the young nephew. Sampedro and the priest engage in a philosophical duel, a battle of wits the man upstairs wins handily. “A life in this condition has no dignity,” we are told. Some will find the argument convincing. Others will agree with the publicity-seeking priest, who asserts that life belongs to God and isn’t ours to take. Viewers on each side, however, are certain to be affected both by Bardem’s mesmerizing performance (the makeup people got a nomination, but not the film’s star?), and by Amenabar’s surehanded treatment of the material. The picture shifts seamlessly between personal drama, romance, courtroom suspense, moments of comedy and sequences of substantial poetic power, such as those in which Sampedro dreams of soaring over the countryside beyond his window back to his beloved sea. It’s a rare motion picture that grapples with issues this provocative and profound. Rarer still is one that does so this well. m

ARE WE THERE YET?★1/2 Brian (Beethoven, Snow Dogs) Levant brings us this comedy about a ladies’ man who attempts to score points with the woman of his dreams by driving her two kids, who live in Portland, Oregon, to visit her in Vancouver, where she’s been forced to find work. Ice Cube and Nia Long star. (91 min, PG) BE COOL★ In this sequel to the 1995 hit Get Shorty, John Travolta reprises the role of wise-guy Chili Palmer. This time around, he moves from the motion-picture business to the music industry. Based on the bestseller by Elmore Leonard. With Uma Thurman and Danny DeVito. F. Gary Gray directs.

KATHLEEN CLEAVER SPEAKING AT BLACK PANTHER RALLY - 1969

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Power Plays

Richmond resident Roz Payne is among the country’s foremost archivists of material about the Black Panthers went on to document an era of social and political turmoil. A California native, Payne is now a Richmond resident who has lived in Vermont for more than three decades. Her first Newsreel assignment was to help chronicle the 1968 student takeover of Columbia University. She later became the collective’s representative to the Black Panther Party in New York City. “I would travel with a projector on the subway and show our films at Panther meetings,” Payne explains. That early connection gives her a unique perspective on the history of the militant African-American group. Payne is among the country’s foremost archivists of material about the Panthers

and the FBI program, Cointelpro, that was dedicated to destroying them. She created a computerized index of 350,000 documents related to that effort and, for 15 years, has been filming some of the key players. Payne’s current project, a two-disk DVD that will present her exhaustive research in an educational format, includes long-sought information that Payne coaxed from reluctant sources. “I courted one guy for two years before he would speak with me,” she says, referring to a former FBI special agent who had investigated the BPP in San Francisco. “While indexing the files, I kept coming across his initials: WAC,” Payne says. “He was a dream-cometrue for me. When WAC relayed his phone taps and surveillance to J. Edgar Hoover, he would use terms like ‘primitive people.’ But it’s too simplistic to call him a racist. He was a nice man from another culture.” WAC, who has since died, agreed to talk with Payne only after learning she had received police academy training for her job as a Richmond constable from 1990 to 1994. He had never before been interviewed about his role in decimating the Panthers. Across the Atlantic, Payne caught up with Donald Cox, a BPP field marshal who is exiled in Paris and wanted for murder in the U.S. In addition, she chatted with several attorneys who have represented other Panthers in their legal battles. One of

them, Beverly Axelrod, is credited as the lawyer who got Soul on Ice author Eldridge Cleaver out of jail. She also may have inadvertently contributed to the mythos of the black power movement. “That famous poster of Huey P. Newton sitting in a big wicker chair was shot in Beverly’s living room,” Payne says. “And when the Panthers were putting together the first BPP newspaper, they needed something visual to fill a space. She happened to have a postcard with the picture of a pig.” Did that single twist of fate give birth to the notorious anti-cop slogan? Payne is not sure. The DVD will include at least three Newsreel docs about the Panthers, Mayday, Repression and — yes — Off the Pig. The trio of films originated on the West Coast. Back in the day, Newsreel chapters were launched in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Kansas, Detroit, Atlanta, Boston and Vermont. Payne, who teaches courses on

civil rights and women’s history at Burlington College, is the acknowledged keeper of the flame. She distributes the 50 documentaries made by the collective in America, Cuba, Vietnam, Africa and the Middle East. And she also has a treasure trove of still images that are suddenly in demand, thanks to a resurgence of interest in the forces that shaped the 1960s. “The Panthers are my biggest sellers,” Payne notes with a wry laugh. Her own visual work on the subject has appeared in an exhibit at New York’s International Center for Photography and on the covers of two recent books about the liberation struggles of yesteryear. Payne’s photos will also find their way onto the DVD, which is due for a summer release. Meanwhile, she is fundraising. A $50 tax-deductible donation to Green Valley Media will get you a copy of the DVD. For more details, call 434-3172 or email roznews@aol.com or visit her website at http://www.newsreel.us. m

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.

SEVENTEEN – EIGHT = NINE ONE + ONE = ELEVEN TWO + ELEVEN = TWENTY-ONE THIRTEEN – FOUR = NINE ONE + EIGHT = NINETEEN THREE + SIX = FIFTY-SIX TWELVE + THIRTEEN = ONE THOUSAND ONE SIXTY-FIVE – TWENTY = SIX THIRTY + SEVEN = SEVENTY-FIVE ONE MILLION + TWO BILLION = THREE BILLION FOURTEEN E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS ADDING AND SUBTRACTING. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

In 1967, she was a schoolteacher walking in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, when a hippie stranger noticed she was carrying a camera. He invited her to a meeting with about 30 filmmakers and photographers that led to the formation of a leftist collective called Newsreel.

Twice-Baked Potatoes with Ham, Peas and Gruyère

After your big dinner, use leftover ham in this terrific recipe. Serves 4 as a main dish. 4 Russet potatoes • vegetable oil • 3 tablespoons butter • 3/4 pound baked ham, sliced 1/4-inch thick and cut into 1/4-inch cubes • 1 cup frozen peas • 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese • 1/2 cup sour cream • 1/4 cup half-and-half • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard • ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub, dry and lightly rub 4 good-sized russet potatoes with vegetable oil. Bake potatoes until skewer can be inserted into and removed from potatoes with little resistance, 60 to 70 minutes. Leave the oven on while you cool potatoes about 10 minutes. While potatoes are baking, heat 1 tablespoon butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until foaming; add ham in even layer and cook, without stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir and cook 30 seconds longer, stir in peas, transfer mixture to large plate. Halve each potato lengthwise.

ELECTRIC COMPANY

Pomp and circumstance never hurt a circus, but the element of surprise is essential. The Montréal-based, animal-free Cirque Eloize takes this principle to heart. Following in the tradition of Cirque du Soleil, the internationally acclaimed troupe’s high-wire and trapeze artists, acrobats and jugglers awaken wonderment by performing seemingly impossible feats on a beautifully choreographed theme — all with playful nonchalance. The group’s name is Québecois for heat lightning. That connection with sudden summer thunderstorms precipitated the current production, Rain, a sweetly nostalgic ode to childhood. Prepare to be a little kid once again, giggling and dancing in a warm summer downpour.

CIRQUE ELOIZE Thursday, March 24, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 7 p.m. $24-44. Info, 863-5966.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@ARIEL GORE PEACE & JUSTICE CENTER, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 4 P.M. The only entry fee for the “Yo Mama’s Illumination Road Show” seemed to be a pregnant belly, a toddler clutching your thigh, or an infant slung on one hip. Of the 30-odd folks in attendance, I was about the only one not toting offspring. An army of squirts laid siege to a buffet table of carrots, cheese and crackers, while a battery of mamas bounced their bundles of fleece. The “Yo Mama’s Illumination Road Show” featured writers Annie Downey, China Doll Martens and Annaliese Jakimides, but I suspected most folks had come to hear Ariel Gore, founder of the zine Hip Mama and author of unconventional parenting books such as The Mother Trip and The Hip Mama Survival Guide. The 4 p.m. reading didn’t start until 4:15. It was running on mama time, when things begin whenever they’re ready to begin. “The children who want to scream can scream and their mothers shouldn’t feel bad,” Gore told the group. “It’s my job to scream louder… The level of chaos is almost equal to the conditions under which this was written.” Dressed in a grey sweatshirt and a blue T-shirt turned inside out, Gore looks the part of the harried single mother. “So you get your baby dressed and you make your way to the store and there, in the midst of checkout, you’re roused from the seemingly endless daze to find the store clerk holding your whining baby with spit-up on his dark blue uniform and you’re writing a bad check with sticky fingers and the lady behind you in line is dying to find out why your skin is whiter than white like Tide with bleach and your baby looks like a Cuban who’s just been rescued from the seas, and you snarl and say, ‘You wanna see my stretch marks?’ Because he could only be your baby.” As the mothers all smiled and nodded in agreement, I thought, if only there were some teenagers in the room. Clearly, parenthood isn’t to be entered into lightly. KEN PICARD

INTO THE WOODS

The Backcountry Challenge isn’t a race. Now in its sixth year, the event invites folks on skis or snowshoes to take their own time tackling a grueling, five-mile course to Stark Mountain’s 2400-foot summit. While catching your breath, suggests naturalist Sean Lawson, you might spot the tracks of snowshoe hares, fishers or red fox, identify claw marks left on beech trees by black bears, or maybe encounter a moose. Along the ridge line, the trail squeezes through narrow slots between rocks and skirts the cliff edge. The outing benefits the cooperatively-owned ski area’s naturalist program and offers prizes. But whether you spend an hour or half the day, the real reward is the experience itself.

PASSION PLAY

When Pierre Choderlos de Laclos penned Dangerous Liasons in the late 18th-century, it epitomized a new genre — the novel told entirely through letters. Choderlos’ titillating tale has since been adapted for the stage. Chittenden County’s newly formed Equinox Theatre Company debuts with a production of the wickedly funny play set in decadent pre-Revolution France. In it, two bored aristocrats make a game of trying to seduce and corrupt virtuous victims. Plenty of poison-pen missives and thrusting rapiers ensue, but before the curtain falls, the manipulative social schemers must choose between vanity and happiness. Ooh la la!

‘DANGEROUS LIASONS’ Thursday through Saturday, March 24-26 and March 31-April 2, Shelburne Town Hall, 8 p.m. $10. Info, 863-5966.

GUNN CONTROL

It’s not easy to keep a straight face while listening to David Gunn’s music. The Barre composer and humorist gives his works tongue-incheek titles such as Forbidden Flute, and Katmandon’t, and the pieces themselves can be whimsically genre-bending and full of musical pranks or inventive in-jokes. Not surprisingly, kids find them fun to play. In a 10-composition concert, the Vermont Youth Orchestra premieres four of Gunn’s works, including Frangipanika, a duet written for violinist Anika James and cellist Becky Hulme. The full ensemble also offers Gunn’s lopsided fanfare Urban Renewaltz. Go ahead. Grin.

DEWEY, DEWEY, DO

Talk about audacious. When Melvil Dewey devised the Dewey Decimal Classification System in 1876, he presumed to arrange the entire universe of human knowledge into 10 discrete categories. His orderly approach has been helping patrons browse library stacks ever since. It also inspires “Doing the Dewey,” the Brownell Library’s series celebrating a different Dewey category each month. March focuses on the 400s — language — with word games for kids, and lectures for adults on World War II code-breaking and the history of American Sign Language. “We don’t want the library to be just a place for ladies,” says Library Director Penny Pillsbury. Neither did Melvil.

‘DOING THE DEWEY’ Word Games, Wednesday and Thursday, March 23 & 24 3:30-4:30 p.m., Cryptography Talk, Wednesday, March 23, 7 p.m. Sign Language Talk Wednesday, March 30, 7 p.m. Brownell Library, Essex Junction. Free. Info, 878-6955.

MARCH 24-30

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840) was a virtuoso violinist as well as a master showman. Not content to dazzle audiences with his technical wizardry, he sometimes resorted to tricks to evoke even greater levels of astonished appreciation. Before one concert, he partially sawed through three of his violin’s strings. When they broke in the midst of his first piece, he finished using just the remaining string. I’m telling you this story, Aries, because you may soon enter a Paganini-like state. You’ll be at the top of your game, yet also tempted to add extra glitz to your shtick. It’s not really necessary; your work will speak just fine for itself. But if you can’t restrain yourself from going over the top, make sure you don’t sacrifice any of your substance as you pump up your style.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): From an astrological perspective, it won’t be a good week to make big decisions based on what you read in newspaper horoscope columns. Similarly, the cosmic rhythms won’t be aligned in your favor if you sit down in the middle of an intersection and beg an angel for a sign about which way you should go. On the other hand, you shouldn’t rely on the advice of practical experts or logical analysts to direct you, either. Their influence would be equally wrong. In my opinion, there’s only one thing you can trust right now: your body. You should formulate specific questions and invite your body to reveal the answers through its feelings and sensations.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): My Gemini friend Thomas will be throwing a big party for himself soon. He’ll be celebrating his graduation from a local college where he has been taking classes since 1993. His many years of matriculation can be explained in part by the sheer enjoyment he gets from being a student. The other reason for the delay is that he has had trouble passing a certain course that’s necessary for his degree. But he’s doing well in the course this time around; his teacher has told him he’ll probably pass. I believe his imminent completion is something like what’s unfolding in

m m m

your life. Whether or not you’re formally enrolled in school, you’re about to complete lessons you’ve studied for a long time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The government of Uzbekistan has jailed more than 6000 people for their political or religious beliefs. With the help of a large secret police force, its dictatorial ruler ruthlessly suppresses all opposition movements and independent media. Meanwhile, the United States has steadily expanded its military assistance to the Central Asian nation, increasing its contributions 1800 percent since 2001. According to my reading of the astrological omens, this is a perfect example of behavior you should avoid in the coming weeks. Do not, under any circumstances, support anyone or anything that squelches freedom or inhibits vitality, even if they purport to be doing it in a good cause. Give yourself generously, on the other hand, to influences that help people thrive in all their fertile diversity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Isaac Asimov once said something that should be especially meaningful for you: “The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka! I have found it!’ but rather ‘That’s funny . . .’” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your imminent destiny should lead you to some fascinating adventures that begin with “That’s funny.” Be hungry for what piques your imagination and tickles your love of mystery. Attune yourself to anything that seems out-of-place or oddly juxtaposed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When’s the last time you really gave yourself permission to watch a sunrise or sunset for more than a few seconds? I bet this activity has fallen so far off your list of things to do that if left to your own devices you may not treat yourself to it for months. That’s just one reason I feel called to do an intervention. The other reason has to do with your current astrological omens. They say that you desperately need to be lifted up out of the everyday trance

help and insight from people who aren’t perfect.

LIBRA

Jan. 19): In all of North America, from Oaxaca, Mexico, to Canada’s Prince Edward island, there is only one state, province or territory that does not yet have a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant. It is Nunavut, in northern Canada, which the Inuit people inhabit at a density of about one person per 3300 square miles. You should be like Nunavut in the coming week, Capricorn: unspoiled by mediocre food, vulgar entertainment, crass commercialism and cheap plastic anything. Be like a vast, pristine empire that’s immune to soul-deadening crap.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If there’s a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet,” said author Toni Morrison, “then you must write it.” In the event that you’re a writer, Libra, I direct her counsel to you. It’s timely advice. But if you’re not a writer, take heed instead of the following: If there’s a world you want to live in or a gift you want to receive or a deed you want to benefit from or an adventure you want thrust upon you, make it yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do,” said English journalist Walter Bagehot. I don’t agree with that in general, but it could temporarily be true for you, Scorpio. There may be no other activity that will generate as much satisfaction as refuting the low expectations others have had of you. Even classic thrills like sex, drugs and rock and roll may not generate feelings equal to the bliss you’ll enjoy when you accomplish what some supposedly knowledgeable person said was impossible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As a performer in Canada’s Daredevil Opera Company, Tom Comet set a world record for juggling chainsaws. He threw and caught three of them 44 times while they were turned on and full of gasoline. Though there’s no need for you to take that big a risk, Aquarius, you’re likely to have a similar ability in your own chosen field. Whether you’re managing to be all things to all people or trying to be in several places at once, I bet you’ll demonstrate an extraordinary skill at juggling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some readers complain when I draw inspiration from a public figure they consider a bad person. Once I cited philosopher Bertrand Russell, and Patti G. went ballistic: “Russell was a terrible father! How dare you give him any credence?” Another time I invoked a bit of wisdom from ex-U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt. “Why would you give that militaristic bully any space in your column?” wrote Arthur H. Here’s how I usually respond to these grumbles: If I refused to learn from people unless I agreed with everything they had ever said and done, I would never learn from anyone. What about you, Sagittarius? Have you set up your life so that everyone is either on or off your good list? The astrological omens suggest it’s an excellent time to dole out more slack, and to cultivate a capacity to derive

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A group of 12 workers in Derby, England, bought a lottery ticket last December. They stuffed it in a plastic beaker at their workshop and forgot about it. Two months later, one of them read in the newspaper that the jackpot prize was still unclaimed. He tracked down the old ticket they’d bought and realized it had the winning numbers. Soon he and his cohorts were collecting the British equivalent of $9.6 million. I regard this as a metaphor for a situation in your life, Pisces. You have not yet claimed a goodie that has been available to you for some time. Remedy that oversight, please.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, The other day my friends and I were sitting around talking about sexual fetishes, and someone mentioned anaclitism. What is that? Wondering in Williston Dear Wondering, A person with a sexual fetish depends upon a specific prop, body part or scenario — real or imagined — to get off. In anaclitism, arousal is achieved through objects or activities to which a person was exposed as an infant. Soiled clothing, wearing baby clothes, toilet training, playing with stuffed toys, throwing temper tantrums and being, well, babied, all might fall under the category of anaclitism. Breast sucking, enemas and spanking might also qualify, but can certainly be enjoyed in a totally non-fetishistic fashion. Anaclitism isn’t infantilism, in which adults long to remain children, and are repelled by their mature bodies. And neither anaclitism nor infantilism is pedophilia, which involves actual children, and is a crime. Like any fetish, anaclitism can be part of a safe, satisfying sex life. It may be practiced solo or ensemble. No one should be pressured into anaclitistic, or any other sexual activity, without their consent. And playing with dirty diapers does not fall within the bounds of safe sex. Love, Lola
