ROADS NOT TAKEN This is regarding Bill McKibbenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impassioned and uninformed plea for more â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wildernessâ&#x20AC;? in Vermont. The Green Mountain Forest (GMNF), like all federally held â&#x20AC;&#x153;forest,â&#x20AC;? is meant to provide a regional supply of forest products, not for recreational or spiritual reasons. For that we have national parks and wildlife refuges.

Sustainable forestry should be first, with all other uses subservient to a forest-based economy.

GMNF has no approved ATV trails. The plan allows for the application by ATVers to develop trail networks and the special designations and buffer zones in the plan make this very difficult, perhaps impossible. No, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own an ATV or a snowmobile, but I recognize the elitist attitude when it condescends in my general direction. Remember that VAST welcomes a diverse group of nonmotorized users to its trails.

Supporters of wilderness simply want â&#x20AC;&#x153;roadlessâ&#x20AC;? areas. This precludes all motorized uses as the roads disappear. Climax (roadless, unmanaged) forests have less diverse and abundant species due to a lack of successional habitat.

They provide no local jobs and very limited recreational opportunities; less than 1 percent of GMNF users report using the Wilderness areas. I am not a local selectboard member or a logger. I do resent your implication that they are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;forest advocates.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, it is time to put the 2002 UVM poll to death. It was unscientific and politically motivated. When you tell people what federally designated wilderness actually means, something this poll purposefully omitted, they answer quite differently.

William R. Moore STOWE

Moore sits on the board of the Champlain Lands Leaseholders & Traditional Interests Association.

SMOKE SCREEN The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) recently began a new campaign to educate parents about the dangers of teen marijuana use [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeds of Discontent,â&#x20AC;? April 20]. While I applaud the effort to encourage children to remain drug-free, I am appalled by the underlying messages of the ads, which are running in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest newspapers. One ad begins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite a few people think that smoking pot is less likely to cause cancer than a regular cigarette. You may have even heard some parents say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather their kids smoked a little pot than get hooked on cigarettes. Wrong, and wrong again.â&#x20AC;?

This ad deliberately downplays the mountain of evidence linking cigarettes, nicotine addiction and cancer. We can all agree that responsible parents do not want their kids smoking either marijuana or cigarettes, but for the government to run an anti-marijuana 2x1.5-martins100604 10/7/04 campaign with a borderline pro-

tobacco message undercuts the efforts to reduce and prevent teen smoking overall.

This type of slick and misleading advertising may be commonplace in corporate marketing, but has no place in government-sponsored public-health campaigns. As a government agency existing solely to reduce drug use, the ONDCP should be scrupulous with their facts. Instead, their ads present a tacit preference, if not approval, for a substance inextricably linked with physical addiction, disease and death in order to oppose the use of marijuana, which is not physically addictive, cancer-causing or fatal.

I know we have alarming rates of marijuana use among teens in Vermont, and it is time for a different approach, but lying and misleading will never be acceptable teaching tools or best practices.

please be quiet.

I don’t really feel all that kindly toward these folks, but it’s a public sphere and I believe that it’s important to observe civil protocols. Which is my point. I hope that people who think it’s okay to yak right on through movies might consider that they are not in their own living room. Their constant chatter is distracting and rude.

Engaging in loud conversations about the film or about your niece in Savannah, talking to your babysitter (who you presumably just left) on your cell phone, or

yelling comments to the movie screen, are not appropriate things to do in a public movie theater.

If my appeal to the talkers falls on deaf ears, I hope theaters in the area might consider running a reminder at the end of their trailers, just before their films start, asking people to respect their very close neighbors, and to please refrain from conversation until after the show.

Coleen Kearon MONTPELIER

CHEW ON THIS I read with great disappointment Ken Picard’s article regarding water fluoridation in Burlington [“Local Matters,” May 18]. As a practicing dental hygienist I have seen firsthand the benefits of this practice. I can easily distinguish between those patients who have reaped the benefits of community water fluoridation, and those who have not.

Unfortunately, I grew up in an area of Vermont that was not fluoridated, and as many Vermonters will be able to relate to, I have large silver fillings in many of my teeth.

It is sad that Michael Connett and the rest of the fluorophobics devote so much time and energy distributing propaganda and pseudo-science to promote their antifluoridationalist scare campaign. It is remarkable to me that in light of proposed Medicaid cuts, along with well-documented access-tocare issues in Vermont, Burlington would consider even for a moment the abolishment of a 53-year-old program that is considered to be the most effective public-health measure ever instituted.

Vermont resident and former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop has frequently stated that, “Fluoridation is the single most important commitment a community can make to the oral health of its children and to future generations.” I urge the residents of Burlington to take this in consideration when thinking about the community water fluoridation question.

Robin N. Perez COLCHESTER

Perez is president of the Vermont Dental Hygienists’ Association BITING QUESTIONS Thank you for a thoughtful and well-researched article on the fluoridation question [“Local Matters,” May 18]. As a citizen of Burlington, I am concerned about the addition of this chemical to our municipal water supply.

There are many issues dogging the addition of fluoride to our

water. There is the ethical question of adding medicine to everyone’s water. There is the question of where our fluoride comes from (is it really from scrubbers from the phosphate fertilizer industry?).

There is the question of how much fluoride we actually ingest, and whether we still need to be supplementing our intake via the water supply. Then there are the recent studies linking fluoride to everything from bone cancer to neurological damage.

At the same time, fluoride’s effects have been admitted (by the CDC) to be primarily topical, not systemic. Considering this, as a community we need to ask some hard questions about fluoride. We also need to start encouraging the health professionals who are still advocating for fluoride to take a closer look at the recent primary literature and not simply follow the directives of their national organizations — the same organizations that in the past advocated for leaded gasoline and mercury fillings, among other things.

It is important that we all think critically about this issue and ask our public-health officials and professionals some of these hard questions. I would urge citizens to attend the upcoming debate and public forum on this issue, as well as reviewing the information out there on both sides of the issue.

BY PETER FREYNE

New Top Prosecutor

S

Dean Meets the Press — Former Gov. Howard Dean returned to NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday as head of the Democratic National Committee. There were a few painful moments.

Ho-Ho had to respond to his infamous “I hate Republicans and everything they stand for” line.

Dean told the national audience he does not “hate Republicans as individuals.”

Whew!

Ho-Ho also managed to switch Saddam Hussein’s name with Osama bin Laden’s, telling Tim Russert he was particularly miffed by “the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false!”

Russert didn’t correct him on air.

In defense, it could be noted that Dean’s gaffe merely reflects the successful Bush administration plan to blur the lines between Osama and Saddam so that they became one person in the minds of the American people. Besides, they all look alike, right?

Dr. Dean also bobbled the question about Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders’ bid for the U.S. Senate. Russert played Joe McCarthy, reminding Ho-Ho that Bernie “is a self-described avowed socialist.”

Instead of acknowledging Russert’s description as accurate, Dean fidgeted like a

man whose patriotism was being questioned in the 1950s.

“He’s a populist,” said Dean.

Russert reminded him that Sanders called himself a “democratic socialist” in his book.

Dean conceded the point, then tried to paint Bernie as basically “a liberal Democrat.”

“We may very well end up supporting him,” said Dean.

But Russert had read the 1996 Associated Press story that was floating around Vermont GOP headquarters last week. Most Democrats supported Bernie that year in a battle with Republican Susan Sweetser. But attorney Jack Long won the Democratic nomination. Longshot finished with 9 percent of the vote. HoHo’s was among them.

Back then, Dean said he had previously left his ballot blank rather than vote for a Republican or Bernie.

“Earth to Chairman Dean,” said GOP State Chairman Jim Barnett this week.

“Bernie Sanders is not a liberal Democrat.

Just ask him.”

In fact, when Howard Dean earned a Vermont paycheck, he wasn’t a liberal Democrat, either. But that’s another story.

The unasked question is: Has Howard Dean ever voted for Bernie Sanders?

Senate Wheels — A few months ago, no one would have noticed. But once a Vermonter floats his name as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, things change.

Pretty soon, you can’t even drive down the street in a new car without tongues wagging.

IDX whiz Ritchie Tarrant, a Republican, is in just such a situation. Mr. Tarrant is pointing toward a long-anticipated race for the U.S. Senate seat that Jim Jeffords is retiring from. He’s currently interviewing potential campaign staff. But in his decades of hard work building a world-class Vermont-based software company, Ol’ Jump Shot has never experienced the scrutiny of the political life before.

For example, these days, when Ritchie is seen tooling around in a new Bentley, heads turn as if it were James Bond, and a certain local political columnist gets a few calls.

Yes, Tarrant confirmed this week, the man with an eye on the U.S. Senate does indeed have a new Bentley, a new 2005 GT Coupe.

“Finally found a sports car I can fit in,” said the tall, ex-St. Michael’s hoop star of the 1960s.

Yours truly, also 6’4”, can certainly appreciate that size matters. Little, normalsized people have no idea what it’s like living in a world built for humans who are half a foot shorter. Good for you, Ritchie!

They say you can tell a lot about a man by the car he drives, and Rich Tarrant’s new wheels indicate the owner certainly appreciates quality.

The 552-horsepower, 12-cylinder Bentley Continental GT Coupe has a top speed of 190 mph. According to Motor Trend Magazine, it goes from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That’s about the time it took you to read the last sentence.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

even Days has learned that Burlington lawyer Ritchie Berger is about to be appointed United States Attorney for the District of Vermont.

According to reliable sources, Mr. Berger has received the necessary stamps of approval from both Republican Gov. Jim Douglas and Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. FBI background checks are currently underway.

Berger will replace Peter Hall, who was appointed last year to a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.

Hall filled the seat of the late Judge Fred Parker.

Berger graduated Rutland High School and UVM (1974). He studied law at the University of Maine. For years, Ritchie’s been a partner at Dinse, Knapp & McAndrew — http://www.dinse.com.

Years ago, Berger’s legal reputation won him the nickname “The Terminator.” He looks and sounds like a prosecutor straight out of central casting.

Attorney Berger is known to longtime “Inside Track” readers for his successful representation of fired Burlington Free Press reporter Paul Teetor back in the mid1990s. Berger’s aggressive legal strategy exposed many of the inner workings of the Gannett newspaper chain.

It wasn’t a pretty sight, and the Freeps settled out of court to avoid further embarrassment.

Berger’s principal area of practice, however, has been defending physicians and health-care institutions. The Terminator was out of town this week and did not respond to our voicemail requesting comment.

REP. DAVID ZUCKERMAN ON HIS FARM AT THE INTERVALE

GMO Bill Bottled Up in Committee It once seemed like smooth sailing for The Farmer’s Protection Act. S.18, which would hold manufacturers of genetically modified organisms liable for contamination caused by their product, breezed through the Vermont Senate on a 26-to-one vote. Easy passage was expected in the Democratic-controlled House, where 54 representatives have already co-sponsored a version of the bill. But it’s now looking as if the measure will never make it out of the House Agriculture Committee.

Since early April, the bill has been bottled up in hearings held by committee chair David Zuckerman — a Burlington Progressive and an organic farmer who helped initiate the legislation. What gives?

“Because Dave is a good guy, he is having the debate,” says Vermont Agriculture Secretary Steve Kerr.

According to Zuckerman, though, it’s being held up by a number of things. “There’s six people opposed to the bill and 11 members on the committee. You do the math,” Zuckerman says. Representative John Malcolm, a Pawlet Democrat, has joined the committee’s five Republicans opposing the measure.

House Majority Leader Carolyn Partridge (D-Windham) says she’s been working with Kerr and House Speaker Gaye Symington (D-Jericho) to reach a compromise.

If no resolution is reached, anti-GMO advocates may turn up the heat on lawmakers to yank the bill from the Agriculture Committee and send it directly to the House Judiciary Committee, the last step before the House floor. But Symington says that she wants to avoid circumventing the embattled committee.

Over the weekend, Kerr said he would agree to some of the bill’s provisions, but not one that created liability for manufacturers. “I am unalterably opposed to strict liability,” he said.

“There is no type of compromise to change that.”

Meanwhile, the embattled bill is preventing lawmakers from taking up other important issues. “Once this is out of the Ag Committee, I think we will be able to work on some really good legislation that will help farmers in the state of Vermont,” Partridge says. “But we have to get over this hurdle.”

If S.18 passes, Vermont would become the first state in the nation to put liability on manufacturers. New York, Montana and Nebraska have all rejected similar legislation. A bill in California has been tabled until at least 2006.

<localmatters> Interfaith Effort Preaches the Grassroots Gospel The blurring of church and state usually gets a bad rap among leftists. But long before the ascendancy of the Religious Right, American churches were at the center of the movements to end slavery and champion civil rights. A group of Vermont churches and synagogues has been rallying members to turn faithbased social involvement back into a liberal tradition.

What does activism have to do with spirituality?

Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue believes social action is the result of individuals examining their conscience and becoming true to their better nature. Put another way, he calls it “the other side of the coin of prayer.”

Eight churches and synagogues are putting this theory into practice as Vermont Interfaith Action, which holds its first convention at St. Joseph’s CoCathedral in Burlington on June 5. Organizers expect at least 750 people to turn out to hear policy talk and personal testimony on affordable housing, health care and youth issues. Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle is expected to participate. Governor Jim Douglas and Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie have been invited, but have not confirmed that they’ll attend, according to Brian Callanan of St. Joseph’s.

Germinated in 1999, “VIA came out of an effort of clergy from around the state who wanted to come together to look at how they could address — in a more systemic way — some of the social issues and problems that were happening not only in Burlington, but throughout the state,” says VIA executive director Jennifer Berman. Members “realized that they were all very good at working on a lot of charity issues, but weren’t working together to look at some of the social justice and underlying causes of what’s happening in our society,” she explains.

Using a model promoted by the Organizing Leadership Training Center of Boston, VIA identified community needs through a “listening campaign” in which people from diverse backgrounds meet two at a time. One listens while the other speaks about an issue of personal significance for

Getting the Real Deal on the Real ID Act Backers of the Real ID Act Congress passed on May 11 called the measure a giant step forward in preventing terrorists from obtaining phony government ID cards, the way the September 11 hijackers did.

The new law standardizes drivers’ licenses nationwide and imposes new mandates for verifying applicants’ information.

Real ID was signed into law after only limited debate and no public hearings. And since the act was attached to a supplementary spending bill allocating $82 billion for the war in Iraq and Asian tsunami relief, lawmakers had no choice but to support it — the Senate vote was 100 to 0.

But the measure’s opponents span the spectrum from the American Civil Liberties Union to the National Association of Evangelicals. Many condemn the law as the latest step toward national ID cards and internal passports.

In Vermont, the most immediate impact will be the cost of implementing more than $2 million in unfunded mandates over three years, says Bonnie Rutledge, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. Rutledge says many of the new requirements are already in place, such as including vital personal data on licenses and training DMV employees to recognize fake documents.

But one new headache for the DMV will be

about 30 minutes. Then they reverse roles.

While these one-to-one conversations are continuing, participants have taken what they’ve learned back to their own congregations, and then returned to the VIA with their members’ responses. Through this give-and-take, the group’s social agenda was established. The next step was research and now, political action. In California, a similar approach by an affiliation of faith-based community organizations led to a sales-tax increase that will generate $90 million dollars for health care over the next 15 years.

Peter Galbraith, a lay person who has been with VIA from the start, says the group “aims to change the structure of the community that causes the need for the charity.” Chasan stresses that the organization is party-neutral. “VIA doesn’t preach absolute understanding of the truth,” he says. “Reasonable people can disagree.”

Though the timing of its first meetings might suggest otherwise, VIA members maintain that the coalition was not formed in response to the current administration. The day before the last presidential election, the organization issued a statement saying that the country “will remain challenged by growing poverty, rising costs for health care, housing, and education, war abroad and diminishing opportunities at home” no matter who prevailed at the polls.

That message resonated with Philip Hoff, a former Vermont governor and St. Paul’s parishioner.

He immediately embraced VIA and its goals, he says, and would do so if he were in office today.

“Distribution of wealth and the responsibility of resources are in very poor shape in this country,” Hoff says. “The church is accepting responsibility for what is going on in society.”

changes in verification requirements for so-called “breeder documents,” the papers used to obtain driver’s licenses, such as Social Security cards and birth certificates. “No longer will people necessarily be able to just walk in here and show us their papers, take an eye exam and out they go,” Rutledge says. “It may require a second trip, or a third.”

The law also requires that all driver’s licenses include a photo — currently, 15 percent of Vermont licenses don’t. The DMV will also have to capture those facial images for a national database. That provision has raised the hackles of privacy advocates and civil libertarians.

Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont ACLU, warns that the Real ID Act aggregates too much personal information into “a much bigger data warehouse,” making it easy to disseminate — and abuse. “Data is valueless. It’s an enabler,” Gilbert explains. “Just because you have more information doesn’t mean anything. You have to ask, what are you giving up and what are you getting in return?”

Vermont’s refugee advocates say the law will do nothing to keep terrorists out, but will make it much harder for human-rights asylum seekers to find safe haven in the U.S. One provision, for example, allows an immigration judge to deny an asylum application based on the refugee’s demeanor, such as whether he or she makes eye contact with the judge.

“To focus on asylum seekers for antiterrorism is ridiculous because asylum seekers are already given rigorous security checks as they go through the system,” notes Patrick Giantonio of Vermont Refugee Assistance. “This bill deals a serious blow to refugees’ chances of finding safe haven in the United States.”

Second-Amendment Follies After a sheriff’s deputy in Anderson County, Alabama, told a middle-school class how hard it is to take a gun from an officer’s holster, one of the students reached into the deputy’s holster, grabbed his weapon and fired it into the floor beside the officer’s foot. Investigators concluded that the student’s finger happened to be small enough to fit inside the safety holster and pull the trigger. “The officer there today had a major lapse in judgment,” Sheriff David Crenshaw told reporters.

Silver Lining Department People fleeing Florida hurricanes last year boosted neighboring Alabama’s tourist industry by $240 million. An economicimpact study by Auburn University Montgomery found that this revenue more than offset the $133 million that the state lost to Hurricane Ivan. AUM economic researcher Pam Smith said that the money from Florida evacuees accounted for onefourth of Alabama’s 8 percent rise in tourism spending.

“How dare you come in here?” somebody shouted as Laura fled with her guards.

Go, Islam! And go Israel, too — for no sooner had Mrs. Bush escaped the wrath of Sheherazade than “dozens of [Jewish] protesters” on the Temple Mount began to heckle her with cries of “Free Pollard now!”

— “a reference to Jonathan Pollard,” The New York Times explains, “who is serving a life sentence in an American prison for spying for Israel” (which is sort of like locking up the sheriff for doing his job). Laura, of course, was completely unfazed.

the Stink to do anything about it.

Of course, we know that Laura Bush isn’t “personally responsible” for her husband’s foreign and domestic policies.

Rather, she’s responsible for them only in the way we all are, if she isn’t protesting them with every bone and breath in her body. Which is to say, she is responsible (and quite a bit closer to the throne).

And how about those pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear? He’s not hard on the eyes, really, for “a modern Hitler” and a man his age, now that he’s had a haircut and a shower. Judging by the fit of his tighty-whities, Saddam must be pretty well hung.

What, are you shocked? Really shocked?

But how could you be? You’ve seen the pictures — the piles of bodies, the snarling dogs, the naked men and grinning girls.

Don’t tell me you haven’t. And don’t blame Newsweek, either.

In the same week that Laura Bush got her reward in Jerusalem, the Times reported on the torture and murder of two “detainees” in Afghanistan and “the poorly trained American soldiers” who are now charged with their deaths. I suppose we should be grateful that any paper still reports such things, but let’s not be fooled.

Had these soldiers not been indicted, had someone not “leaked” a Pentagon report, we’d never have heard a word about it. The Times isn’t as brave as all that.

And if the United Nations, the Red Cross, Amnesty International and even the president of Afghanistan — are now holding us, “America,” to a higher standard of conduct than they seem to do anyone else, it’s because we still pretend that we have standards. Indeed, we set the standards.

And if they go, we go.

Incidentally, according to an item in Harper’s magazine, a new technique in “spectral imaging” now makes it possible “to decipher previously illegible ink” on ancient and degraded papyrus fragments. At Oxford University, scholars have discovered a 4th-century manuscript of the Revelation of Saint John. It turns out that “the number of the Beast,” whom so many “Christians” so anxiously await as we verge on Apocalypse, isn’t “666,” after all, but “616.” So much for the literal Word of God. “616” also happens to be the telephone area code of Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Ding-Dong himself, just as his wife was being threatened with sticks in Jerusalem, and knowing that his henchmen in Congress were poised to strike down 200 years of minority protection with the “nuclear option,” told an audience of graduating seniors at Calvin College — where was I? Oh, yes, this is what Dubya told the crowd: “As your generation takes its place in the world, all of you must make this decision: Will you be a spectator or a citizen?”

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

14A

Dear Cecil, When I was in college my brother told me that Ludwig van Beethoven was partially black. He said that it was common knowledge when Beethoven was alive that he was of “Moorish” complexion and ancestry. What’s the scoop? Was he black, or — more to the point — was he pure white?

Chris Crutchfield, Saint Paul, Minnesota Beethoven black? Sure, why not? If we accept the “onedrop rule” that long prevailed in the U.S., namely that any black African ancestry whatsoever makes you black, and if we further buy the argument sometimes heard that everyone on Earth is at least 50th cousin to everyone else — that is, has a common ancestor no more than 50 generations back — then everybody’s black, or, more accurately, as Santana once put it, everybody’s everything. If on the other hand we’re looking for documented proof that Beethoven’s ancestry can be unambiguously traced to somewhere south of the Sahara, that could be tougher to come by, although as is commonly the case in these matters it can’t be entirely ruled out.

The idea that Beethoven was black seems to have been first publicized by Joel Augustus Rogers (1883-1965), a Jamaican-born journalist and author. Rogers was fascinated — some would say obsessed — with sex and race and in fact wrote a book called Sex and Race, a three-volume study of racial mixing self-published in the early ’40s. His grasp of the subject was impressively broad, and there’s no arguing with his main point: that racial mixing has been common throughout history and in modern times has been particularly prevalent in the New World.

Rogers was no anthropologist or genealogist, though, and the list of famous personages to whom he attributes black ancestry in his writings, while not completely off the wall, includes quite a few names likely to strike some today as risible. Examples: Cleopatra (Rogers was possibly the first to make the widely ridiculed claim that the Egyptian queen was black); Cheops, the pharaoh who built the Great Pyramid; Nefertiti; numerous other Egyptians of note; Hannibal of Carthage (Rogers had a tendency to think that anyone who lived in Africa was

ipso facto black); the Queen of Sheba; many leading lights of Islam, possibly including Muhammad and extending through Ibn Saud, creator of modern Saudi Arabia; Aesop; Moses; the Roman dramatist Terence; the British statesman Benjamin Disraeli; three popes (Saint Victor I, Saint Miltiades and Saint Gelasius I); the English poet Robert Browning; five U.S. presidents (Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Harding and another Rogers declines to name); Alexander Hamilton; King Gustav IV of Sweden; Goethe; Haydn; and, of course Ludwig van Beethoven.

I’m not saying it’s out of the question that black African ancestry could be demonstrated for some of these people, merely that Rogers doesn’t do so. In the case of U.S. politicians, he mainly repeats charges made by their political opponents — this in a day when claiming that an office seeker had Negro blood was sure to cost him votes. Often Rogers simply asserts someone’s black ancestry or finds a quote saying so-and-so was dark-skinned, had “negroid” features or what have you.

Beethoven is a case in point. Rogers’ evidence for the composer’s blackness, presented in the third volume of Sex and Race, is twofold: (1) Some of Beethoven’s ancestors lived in Belgium; Belgium had long been controlled by Spain; Spain employed some full-blooded Negro troops and, in addition, had been overrun by the Moors in medieval times; the Moors, according to Rogers, were a hybrid of white and black African stock; ergo, over the span of 1000 years, black ancestry could conceivably have been transmitted from Africa to Beethoven.

(2) Beethoven had a darker complexion than was typical of northern Europeans of his day, and some referred to him as “the black Spaniard.”

That’s about it. So far as I’m aware, no one in a position to know has taken the idea of Beethoven’s being black seriously, but the story survives. Too bad — if we set aside the dubious claims based on guesswork, Rogers’ work offers ample support for the once-derided idea that people of black ancestry and in particular those of mixed race could achieve great things. In his books he cites an impressive collection of doers of color, many well-known in the U.S. (Paul Robeson, Marian Anderson, George Washington Carver), others not, e.g., Joaquim Machado de Assis (18391908), son of a Brazilian mulatto, whom Susan Sontag called “the greatest author ever produced in Latin America.”

Worth mentioning for his connection to Beethoven is virtuoso violinist George Bridgetower (1778-1860), the son of a black West Indian servant, who gave the premiere performance of what became known as the Kreutzer Sonata. (Apparently it would have been called the Bridgetower Sonata had not the two men quarreled.)

Your reaction to such a recitation may be: Big deal. But in Rogers’ day just speaking positively about racial mixing was a subversive act.

ho knew there was a dark side to diner preservation? I sure didn’t when I wrote a story two weeks ago about a “Diner-ARound” event featuring expert Daniel Zilka.

Formerly of Burlington, Zilka came up from Providence, Rhode Island — the birthplace of the moveable feast — to give a lecture on diner history in conjunction with an exhibit he curated at Burlington’s Truex, Cullins & Partners Architects. Organized by the Chittenden County Historical Society, his talk turned into a tasty tour of area eateries.

You would never have known from the mood on the bus — it was light as lemon meringue pie — that the event’s organizers had been directed to a website that describes Zilka as “the pariah of the diner industry.” Randy Garbin, author of Diners of New England, had sent an email north, suggesting, “Having Daniel Zilka

DANIEL ZILKA

give a lecture on diner preservation is like asking Sam Walton to talk about his methods for reviving Main Street.”

A Google search for “Daniel Zilka” turns up numerous articles by Garbin accusing him of unorthodox practices, from selling donated diners for profit, to stealing and tax fraud. Garbin’s online vanity pub, Roadside, has been the vehicle for a five-year crusade to discredit Zilka and his organization, the American Diner Museum — a “virtual nonprofit,” as Zilka describes it, that has yet to find a permanent home. “My beef has been there is no museum,” Garbin says. “To call yourself executive director confers a credential that is just not warranted.”

Zilka has never responded publicly to Garbin’s claims. But he recently sent a cease-and-desist letter — it’s posted on Garbin’s website — that suggests he’s had enough. No doubt about it: The Internet age facilitates the flow of info, but also, potentially, slander. “If you read between the lines, you can see he has a personal vendetta against me. No one else is making negative comments about what I do,” Zilka says.

Garbin was actually on the board of the American Diner Museum before he opted “to disassociate myself and resign.”

But he was there long enough to note there was no catalogue for Zilka’s extensive collection — a no-no for nonprofit

museums that accept donations. He says he’s reported Zilka to both the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office and the IRS. Neither has taken action.

Asked if there’s any merit to Garbin’s claims, Zilka calmly replies, “Not really, not really. There’s an explanation for both sides of things. As I mentioned before, if you read between the lines, the way he describes me as a person, you can really see there’s a lot of jealousy involved. It’s character assassination.” In the small world of diner devotees, the ongoing feud has left a bad taste.

Sometimes it’s best not to know what’s being slung in the kitchen.

The St. Albans Historical Society has a great exhibit on the second floor of the city’s old elementary school. But local elders don’t get up there much. The building doesn’t have an elevator. Such “cultural facilities” will likely have access to a larger chunk of change next year for financing ramps and handicap bathrooms, as well as furnaces, lighting, insulation and wiring. The Vermont Legislature is on track to free up $200,000 in matching grants to save and upgrade historic, oftailing opera houses, one-room schoolhouses and town halls around the state.

That’s a $150,000 increase over last year.

The appropriation would quadruple the annual funding capacity of the Cultural Facilities Grant Program, which is administered by the Vermont Arts Council. “With this increase in funding, we’re going to be able to help a lot more communities,” says VAC’s Andrea Stander. She cites Vergennes, Barre, Randolph, Bellows Falls and Brandon for their dramatic comebacks. “When these places have been revitalized, the community finally has a place to gather.”

At last, policy wonks are making the connection between cultural vitality and economic health. The Vermont Council on Rural Development made it official last October with a report entitled “Advancing Vermont’s Creative Economy.” It urges investment in culture and innovation as a community-development strategy. One recommendation calls for increased fix-up funding for old facilities that offer cultural activities to the public. Rebuild it and they will come.

“In advocating for this increase, based on the recommendation of the Creative Economy Report, the desire was to make it possible to fund projects with higher price tags,” Stander explains. She notes that past grants have never exceeded $5000.

That’s good news for arts aficionados installing a heating system in the Hardwick Townhouse. Ditto the group resurrecting Morrisville’s Lamoille Grange. Stander predicts, “Those are two towns that are ‘arriving.’” St. Albans, too, may find there’s help to be had on the way . . . up. 쩾

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

Autobio Hazards

C Mary Childers discusses the ethics of life writing.

Barnes & Noble, South Burlington, Tuesday, June 14, 7 p.m.

Welfare Brat: A Memoir, by Mary Childers, Bloomsbury, 262 pages, $23.95.

Gifts from the Broken Jar: Rediscovering Hope, Beauty and Joy, by PJ Long, EquiLibrium Press, 254 pages, $19.95.

heck out the ever-expanding Biography section of any bookstore, and you’ll see a selection of personal memoirs with self-deprecating, often self-explanatory titles: Fat Girl, Welfare Brat, Hypocrite in a Poufy White Dress. Who are all these people writing about themselves? you may wonder. And what makes them more interesting than me?

There’s a common perception that, to write a memoir, you need to have “been through” something — no one’s going to rush out and buy a manuscript about Jane or Joe Schmo’s Kodak moments growing up in the leafy suburbs. At the same time, writers who chronicle their personal trauma often come in for criticism as “exploiters” of their own misfortune. Who are they, ask critics of the genre, to reveal their family’s painful secrets, or to give us blow-byblow accounts of their struggles with addiction or illness? And why should we want to know?

Two local writers suggest the answers to those questions are as various as memoirs themselves. Mary Childers of Hanover, New Hampshire, is the author of Welfare Brat: A Memoir from Bloomsbury Publishing. She turned to personal narrative as a way to articulate truths about life on welfare that she felt often get drowned out by political noise. By contrast, PJ Long of Morrisville, whose book Gifts from the Broken Jar tells of her slow recovery from a traumatic brain injury, began her manuscript as therapy or “cognitive retraining” and continued it as a form of self-discovery. While their books are worlds apart, both writers speak with powerful candor about the decision to share their experiences with the public.

Slim, freckled and youthful at 52, Mary Childers talks openly about her 1960s childhood in a fatherless family of seven kids in the Bronx.

Writing her memoir, she says, she was aware that some readers might find incidents in it “over the top” and “melodramatic, because that’s how poor people’s lives are perceived.

But this is a reality that deserves to be described from the inside.”

Four years ago, Childers began writing her book when she discovered that her niece was pregnant for the third time and in danger of falling into the pattern of welfare dependence set by her grandmother.

A Ph.D in English, Childers had already written about women and poverty in a scholarly context. But now, she says, “I started to feel as though I had to escape from academic language and write in a more straightforward way. The memoir was the easiest genre for me. As someone who grew up on welfare and got a level of education that people hardly ever get … I seemed uniquely positioned to do it, and I had some sense of obligation.”

Childers had finished her first draft when a Bellagio Fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation gave her a break from her academic consulting job: a month in a villa on

Lake Como. “I thought I was just there to finish the manuscript, and I started completely rewriting it,” she says. “In that peaceful environment, I started to get closer to the voice of the adolescent girl.”

The result is a story told in first person and present tense that often reads like a page-turning novel as it chronicles the fortunes of the Childers family from 1962 through the upheavals of the late ’60s.

Childers, who will talk about the ethics of life writing at the South Burlington Barnes & Noble in June, says several ethical issues dogged the writing of her book. First, as someone who’s concerned about the politics of poverty, she wanted to avoid making herself an example of the “myth of exceptionalism” — the notion that anyone with smarts and pluck can get ahead.

Second, Childers was worried about compromising her family’s privacy. “Not all of my siblings wanted me to write this book,” she admits.

To allay their fears, Childers changed the names of people and places and asked permission to describe elements such as her older sister’s heroin addiction. “I ended up, because I wanted to respect their privacy, focusing on myself more,” she says.

“Because I didn’t have the right to tell everything about them.” Now, Childers says, four family members have read or are reading the memoir and are surprised “that I am as hard on myself as I am on other people.

That’s given them a great sense of relief.” They’re also surprised at “how much lightness there is” in the narrative, which mixes its drama with wry, hard-nosed humor.

The book has also helped Childers reconnect with people from her past.

One day she received an email from a social worker who had known her when she was “14 and skinny and intense.” He remembered Childers “because I said I was going to college.”

He also told her that, until 1967, official policy forbade social workers from telling women on welfare about birth control. It made her wonder how her mother’s life might have been different if she’d had such information.

Childers acknowledges that certain elements of her story, such as one sister’s “horrible abortion with quinine … could be pure exploitation.”

But she balances such potential sensationalism by describing the same sister as “intent on learning how to work, caring deeply about taking care of herself.” Likewise, Childers strives to be balanced in her treatment of the hot-button issue of welfare, portraying people “who used it improperly and took it for granted” alongside those — like herself — who worked their way out of the system. Childers hopes the reader will leave the book with an understanding that “However hard it was then, it’s harder to be poor now.” Nowadays, she says, kids on welfare are “stigmatized, not only by the neighbor who doesn’t understand, but by our political leaders.”

Childers believes that, despite all her precautions, “in fact you are exploiting other people” whenever

Who are all these people writing about themselves? you may wonder.

And what makes them more interesting than me?

you write a memoir. Life writing makes us aware that “We are all unreliable narrators of our shared lives,” she says. The more we write about ourselves, the more we realize that “Memory is not faithful to what happened. Memory two days later is a distortion.” But at the same time, Childers points out, the very act of writing helps us fill in memory’s gaps and becomes a “process of discovery.”

The same notion resonates strongly throughout PJ Long’s Gifts from the Broken Jar: Rediscovering Hope, Beauty and Joy, published earlier this year by California’s EquiLibrium Press. If all of us struggle with our imperfect memories, working to build a sense of self out of fragments, Long’s struggle was of another order of magnitude. In September 1999, a fall from a horse left her with a persistent, insidious brain injury.

Finding herself with “no memory,” no sense of the passage of time, and a diminished ability to process sensory information, then 40-year-old Long had to leave her job as a psychotherapist. She writes of feeling that “My body was a shell with no ‘me’ inside.”

Because she couldn’t explain her symptoms to herself, she couldn’t con-

vey their severity to others. As gradual healing and rehabilitation therapy brought her out of the silence, Long began writing short entries in a journal and email messages to a novelist friend across the country who urged her to “write what [you] love and don’t worry about the outcome.”

In 2002, Long considered turning her journals and email print-outs into a “self-help type book about recovery from brain injury,” she says. But she soon realized “That kind of organizing and conceptualizing was way beyond me.” She decided simply to group her raw materials chronologically and found that “It was becoming a book for me, a memoir, telling the story to myself.”

Because she “couldn’t hold things in memory from one page to the next,” Long “would print out the pages and lay them out across the floor,” she says. “That way I could literally walk through a section as I worked on it.” A professional editor helped her to find the “‘arc of the narrative,’ making sure the story didn’t get lost in too much meandering or repetition,” but otherwise kept Long’s ex tempore writings intact.

The book is a series of vivid snapshots of Long’s daily life as she uses color-coded maps to navigate the grocery store, slows down to photograph her garden when the task of tending it overwhelms her, and deals with her daughter’s question, “When will you be a real mama again?”

When Long received her manuscript back from the editor in summer 2003, she was in the process of undergoing treatment for a breast cancer diagnosed in May. “I was surprised to discover that what I had written about life and healing was a comfort to me now as I dealt with cancer,” says Long, who had originally meant to keep the manuscript as a private record of her recovery. “That’s when I realized that there could be a wide audience for the book — that it might bring comfort and hope to people in many different situations.”

When Long was interviewed on Mark Johnson’s radio show on WDEV last February, calls came flooding in from brain-injury survivors and others who’d been inspired by the book. Johnson says his initial response to hearing about Long’s book was, “Oh, here’s another overcoming-adversity story.” Now he describes Long as “one of the top five most gripping people I’ve interviewed,” and says he’s “not had the kind of response that I had with her, ever.” Long will read from her book at Barnes & Noble in July.

In Gifts, Long writes of how her injury impaired her ability to process and create narratives. Now she’s working on two new books, an inspirational photo-journal and another nonfiction manuscript, possibly a memoir.

“I wouldn’t say we ‘need to tell our lives as stories in order to understand them,’ because I’m not certain of that,” Long says. “But what I do think is that if we can tell our sorrows as stories, then our stories will help us to heal. Shakespeare knew that. He said, ‘Give sorrow words.’” m

Motor Trend called the 2005 Bentley GT Coupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed â&#x20AC;&#x153;damned impressive for a nearly 2.5 ton, almost 16-foot-long luxury tank.â&#x20AC;?

Candidate Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new wheels get 11 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. But no one buys a Bentley for its gas mileage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; http://www.bentley motors.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hedonists will be ga-ga,â&#x20AC;? wrote Motor Trend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when they slip into the sensuously styled cabin. Fit and finish are spectacular, with gleaming brightwork, veneers so lustrous they seem to have come from liquid trees, and leather rich enough to make the people at Prada pout.â&#x20AC;?

Want one?

Well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not for everybody. We figured out that with $2000 down, the payments would be just over $5400 a month for 36 months.

For those who wish to pay cash, the base price of the Britishbuilt 2005 Bentley Continental GT Coupe is $156,285. Motor Trend calls it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a bargain!â&#x20AC;?

Let it never be said that Candidate Tarrant does not know a bargain when he sees one, eh?

Frugality, after all, is a good quality in a political hopeful.

Speaking of frugality, Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely main opponent in the battle to be Jeezum Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor is also quite frugal.

Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders lives in the same modest New North End ranch house he landed when he served as Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor in the 1980s.

Word is the Sanders family doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even use the old in-ground swimming pool in the backyard.

And for wheels, Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven-term congressman is currently driving around the state in his blue 2002 Saturn SL2. When purchased, the new Saturn cost $13,200.

No Bentleys in the parking lot.

Hall of Fame Fight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The big annual Key Bank Vermont City Marathon takes place Sunday.

The city of Burlington will fill up this weekend with thousands of runners from near and far. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very big deal.

What started back in 1989 with about 300 runners has grown into one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere marathons with 6800 participating. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a Vermont City Marathon Hall of Fame.

Growing up, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hall of Fameâ&#x20AC;? meant one thing: Cooperstown, New York. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the baseball cathedral honoring the legends of the game like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb.

Over the years, other Halls of Fame have popped up. Just about every sport has one; every college athletic department, too.

The Vermont City Marathon Hall of Fame was started to honor the select group of runners who had completed the first 10 local marathons. Jim Paulsen of South Burlington is one of them.

Paulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 44-year-old

Cornell-educated engineer who kissed IBM good-bye more than a decade ago. He currently buys and fixes up old houses while teaching math courses at the Community College of Vermont.

Paulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scientist and a runner. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those lone souls tramping along the roadside with a determination to endure as much pounding and pain as humanly possible.

And, not surprisingly, Jim the Math Teacher is a numbers guy.

He noticed the Marathon numbers just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add up.

Paulsen told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? that he noticed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a whole lot of Hall of Fame bibs were not picked upâ&#x20AC;? at the 2002 marathon.

That was when he first complained about the Hall of Fame list, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and got the brush off.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Runners tend to be introverts,â&#x20AC;? said Paulsen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really a stand-up-on-a-soapbox kind of guy, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Hall of Fame supposed to mean?â&#x20AC;?

The following year, Paulsen checked the old race results and found several Hall of Fame members hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished or even started a few Burlington marathons.

They had no finishing times.

According to Paulsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statistics, only eight runners, including himself, have completed all 16 Vermont City Marathons. The 2004 Hall of Fame includes 20 members.

Unfortunately for Paulsen, race officials have a different view of the Hall of Fame and are fed up with his complaints. In fact, last May, just before the race, marathon director Andrea Sisino wrote Paulsen, making it clear they have had it with this Hall of Famerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame criticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to your irate behavior in our office on several occasions, we feel it is best to deny your request to volunteer. We fully understand your position on the Hall of Fame policy, however [you] do not agree that it is in the fun spirit that was intended for this group of runners.â&#x20AC;?

Sisino told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had it with Mr. Paulsen. She accused the Hall of Famer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;harassment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to get a restraining order on him,â&#x20AC;? said Sisino. The marathonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, she said, had discussed the issue and decided to come down on the side of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun.â&#x20AC;?

The Vermont City Marathon, said Andrea, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is based on fun and good spirits. We respect his right to disagree. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not respecting ours.â&#x20AC;?

The latest Hall of Fame list named 20 runners â&#x20AC;&#x153;who have started everyâ&#x20AC;? marathon. Names in bold face signified finishing every race. There were 11 boldface names. Paulsen says he can only find eight of them that made it to every finish line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great race,â&#x20AC;? said Paulsen as he prepared for his 17th consecutive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason I run the race is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;?

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough for a math teacher and Vermont City Marathon Hall of Famer to be told numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count, that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay if a few fellow Hall of Famers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish a few races.

Or just paid the entry fee and stayed home. To be told that he

should lighten up and have fun!

“I have to get treated this way?” asks the math teacher. “I’m the person they’re trying to honor!”

Wonder what Pete Rose would think of all this.

Snappy Speaker — Former Texas Gov. Ann Richards had a crowd of more than 300 rolling in the aisles Sunday at the Sheraton Burlington. The $25-aticket speech by the Texas Democrat was sponsored by Vermont Woman. Actually, it was more of a stand-up comedy act, and the audience ate it up.

Richards lost the governor’s seat to a wide-eyed, well-heeled failed oil-driller named George W. Bush. Lately, she’s been on a speaking tour.

In the post–9/11 age, air travel has indeed changed. For example, having a one-way ticket immediately sets off suspicion that one is a suicide hijacker. And when it comes to airport security, said Richards, “the smaller the airport, the higher the security.”

Departing South Bend, Indiana, recently, she had oneway tickets to Detroit and Madison, Wisconsin.

“That’s two one-ways,” noted Richards, “which makes me practically wearing a rag over my head.”

The former Texas governor was “shoved off to the side,” she said, “and this young woman approached me and said she had to wand me with this electric thing.”

Gov. Ann quickly suspected there might be a little problem.

In her distinctive Texas twang, she informed her Vermont audience that she wears “these garments that are called body suits, made by Wolford. They’re the best traveling garments in the world, but they have these three metal snaps in the crotch.”

The audience howled. Crotch jokes on Sunday afternoon are apparently perfectly acceptable in the 21st century. At least when a 71-year-old Texas beauty is telling them.

“My crotch set off her wand,” said Gov. Richards. “She said, ‘I’ve got to get my supervisor.’”

The supervisor arrived, “a large woman and strong,” and asked “‘What seems to be the trouble?’”

Gov. Richards told her, “Well, I don’t have any trouble, but I have set off your assistant’s wand with three metal snaps in my crotch.”

Richards said she politely offered to take her pants off and “show the crotch with the three metal snaps to the supervisor.”

“Oh, no, no, no, no, no,” replied the supervisor. “But would you mind if we pat you down?”

“Well, I can’t imagine any more fun!” answered Richards.

In fact, most of her 55-minute “speech” was pure fun. Richards steered away from the Iraq War and she steered away from George W. Bush.

Start Making Sense: Turning the Lessons of Election 2004 Into Winning Progressive Politics edited

by Don Hazen and Lakshmi Chaudhry, Chelsea Green Publishing, 229 pages, $12.

o we really need another post-mortem on the 2004 election? In the months that followed, Kerry’s defeat was blamed on everything from his failure to answer the Swift Boat Veterans’ attack ads to his lame attempts at courting the hook-and-bullet crowd by dressing up in camo gear and blasting at waterfowl. And, of course, wholesale electoral fraud. As Jim Hightower put it in an interview shortly after the election, “Kerry is certainly a decent guy, a smart guy, but he couldn’t connect with working people if he was giving away Budweisers and Slim Jims.”

The newest book-length liberal roadmap to the future is a compilation of essays and interviews — some new, others that were previously aired or published — from AlterNet, a syndication service of the alternative press to which Seven Days subscribes. It’s called Start Making Sense: Turning the Lessons of Election 2004 Into Winning Progressive Politics. Reader’s reac-

Kerry is certainly a decent guy, a smart guy, but he couldn’t connect with working people if he was giving away Budweisers and Slim Jims.

tions to this mixed bag of works will vary widely, depending upon how much they’re immersed in the current round of liberal soul-searching. For those who mourned the 2004 defeat by tuning out American politics altogether and shopping for apartments in Montréal or Prague, this book may offer a few reasons to stay on U.S. soil. But for folks who’ve spent the last six months arguing with friends, family and co-workers about what went wrong, there’s not a lot here that’s especially new or groundbreaking.

Nevertheless, Start Making Sense offers a useful outline for deconstructing the 2004 election, as well as some helpful hints for taking back the White House.

Broken into three sections — “Looking Back,” “Looking Forward” and “Getting Active” — the book offers insightful essays and interviews with many of the Left’s usual suspects, such as Arianna Huffington, Tom Hayden, Thomas Frank, Barbara Ehrenreich, Jim Hightower and many others. There’s even an excerpt from Barack Obama’s stirring DNC convention speech.

In a December 2004 interview,

AlterNet Executive Editor Don Hazen questions Howard Dean on the many lessons progressives can glean from the success of conservative grassroots groups. The book also includes the “November 3rd Theses” by Adam Werbach, who was just 23 years old when he became president of the Sierra Club. The morning after Kerry’s defeat, Werbach posted his theses on the door of the Democratic National Committee headquarters, alleging that the party’s poor showing was due to years of benign neglect. His words were quickly disseminated over the Internet and posted on the doors of other Democratic headquarters across the nation.

Start Making Sense also contains several short but interesting analyses of the media’s election coverage, including one

by Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman. In a February 2005 interview, she discusses the need for more alternative and independent news outlets. There’s also an interview Hazen did in November with Robert Greenwald, the documentary filmmaker who produced Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism.

nist Naomi Klein deconstructs Kerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed position on the Iraq War â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for anyone who, understandably, had trouble figuring out what it was â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and offers strategies for resurrecting the antiwar movement.

On a similar subject, 1960s activist Tom Hayden offers some concrete suggestions for getting U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Most of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapters are short and easily digestible.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be read in any particular order. The common thesis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that Kerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defeat wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a wipeout of Walter Mondale proportions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; points to opportunities for the Left to exploit. For example, as Hazen points out in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking Backâ&#x20AC;? section, had Kerry picked up just 64,000 more Hispanic votes in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, he would have taken the White House.

Hazen also points to the political potential of unmarried young women, who made up the single largest pool of new progressive voters in the country. Although 7.5 million more unmarried women voted in 2004 than in 2000, they remain a largely untapped resource for the Democrats. About 55 percent of them voted for Kerry over Bush. Sixty-four percent told exit pollers they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. Clearly, this demographic should be a prime focus for Democrats in 2006 and beyond.

Alternet Associate Editor Evan Derkacz has compiled a list of progressive victories that were largely overshadowed by the main event last November â&#x20AC;&#x201D; evidence the country isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as conservative as the red-blue maps make it appear.

At the state level, for example, Democrats took over twice as many legislative chambers as did the Republicans, including both chambers of the Colorado Legislature, for the first time in 44 years.

Likewise, in Montana, where three out of five voters went for Bush, the Dems picked up the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and the Senate, and came within one seat of retaking the House of Representatives. Electoral results like that reveal the vast, untapped power of grassroots politics. >> 22A

Overall, Start Making Sense does a good job of moving beyond the usual liberal screeds about working-class Americans voting against their economic self-interest, fear winning out over anger, and urban elites belittling â&#x20AC;&#x153;values votersâ&#x20AC;? as uneducated boobs and hypocritical Bible thumpers. And for those who felt that the Kerry campaign was too much â&#x20AC;&#x153;Republican-lite,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to hear calls for overhauling the Democratic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign machine.

One of the most compelling sections of the book is an interview with George Lakoff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a professor of cognitive science and linguistics at Berkeley, and author of the much-ballyhooed

ues that people can relate to, you do not have a chance.â&#x20AC;?

When comes to specifics, however, Start Making Sense falls short. No one suggests that progressives should get over their apparent squeamishness about discussing religious issues in the political arena and start talking to social conservatives in a language that resonates with them.

For example, on Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clear Skies Initiative,â&#x20AC;? Kerry never needed to say a word about parts per million of mercury contamination. He could have slammed the Bush plan for destroying Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation and bemoaned what all that mercury poisoning is doing to unborn babies. And on Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies toward the poor, elderly and dis-

For those who mourned the 2004 defeat by tuning out American politics altogether and shopping for apartments in MontrĂŠal or Prague, this book may offer a few reasons to stay on U.S. soil.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think of an Elephant.

Lakoff discusses how the Right has co-opted the entire political debate by controlling the language, with words such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;death tax,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax reliefâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;partial-birth abortion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one side understanding this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the conservatives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the other side â&#x20AC;&#x201D; progressives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ignoring it, and the media not even understanding whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? says Lakoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Right figured out how to physically change our brains, and the Left is only beginning to recognize this very basic fact of cognitive science.â&#x20AC;?

Ultimately, Lakoff concludes with one of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important messages: Progressives need to recognize that Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory had a lot to do with his clearly defined world view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People vote their identities and their values, not their economic self-interests,â&#x20AC;?

Lakoff assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clear, positive identity and val-

abled, Kerry missed a golden opportunity to pose a simple question: What would Jesus do?

The message of Start Making Sense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always consistent, either. In his chapter entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight Dirty,â&#x20AC;? activist David Morris suggests itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time Democrats viewed politics as open warfare â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the GOP does â&#x20AC;&#x201D; instead of as a polite contact sport. But other writers, such as Don Hazen in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelve Step Program for Progressive Victory,â&#x20AC;? make the case that leftists shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise their core values. He believes they should stick to the moral high ground and â&#x20AC;&#x153;communicate a positive vision.â&#x20AC;?

Start Making Sense doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to be the final word on any one subject. Rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a salvo in the ongoing debate about how progressives can reclaim American politics from the fear mongers and fundamentalists. And, like a college survey course, it introduces the reader to a smorgasbord of ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the culture wars, economic populism, do-it-yourself organizing, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without getting too bogged down on the details.

In the end, though, Start Making Sense may also leave many readers hungry for much more. As the book itself argues about the Democrats, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A little more and a little betterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the trick.â&#x20AC;? If progressives ever intend to become Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership party again, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need a lot more advice and guidance than this book delivers. m

hirty-five years ago I came into this place to live / a simple life,” David Budbill writes about his move to Wolcott’s Judevine Mountain. “Thirty-five years of watching seasons come and go.”

STORY If you want to know what such a willJOHN ful retreat from the world does to a man, FREEMAN pick up a copy of Budbill’s flinty new volume of poetry, While We’ve Still Got Feet.

IMAGE As in the work of Gary Snyder or Jack MATTHEW Gilbert, here are lyrics sharpened by soliTHORSEN tude’s grindstone. None of them will make you bleed, but they have a curious While We Still singularity, like objects recently made, but Got Feet: New Poems by David constructed to resemble folklore.

“Han Shan says, Death makes you a nameless ghost,” Budbill writes in a typical passage. “What good will come of all your striving?”

If these Eastern teachers evoked a kind of wry astringency in their verse, Budbill has a country singer’s laconic twang, a rootin’ tootin’ nihilism. Here I am, “Singing me songs / on Red Dust Road, / headed toward / dead,” he announces in the volume’s first poem. When he is not sounding his own Buddhist bardic yawp,

Budbill sketches his surroundings. He raises an ear to the sound of trucks jakebreaking down a mountainside, and points out the shush of wind coming through a nearby copse of pines. Both are the sounds of the world passing him by, and he has apparently grown to like that.

pleasures of habit, “then, and only then, do I see the crippling power of mind, the curse of thought.”

It wasn’t always this way. Born in Cleveland, Budbill was educated at Muskingum College and at Columbia, then earned a Master’s in Divinity from Union Theological Seminary. He is the son of a preacher’s daughter. By training, birth and temperament, he’s inclined to ponder the void.

He just wasn’t raised to live in it. It’s no wonder there are so many contradictions in his work; he renounces mainstream pursuits but still finds

Bring on the cold. Bring on the frost.

Bring on all that death and destruction.

Let’s have some quiet and some peace.

Let us rest. Give us emptiness.

You have to slow down to read and enjoy the variations between such poems. At first glance they seem to welcome the same thing — death, oblivion, The End. Read closer, however, and differences arise. The first poem is adversarial, begrudging. Budbill admits he has been hood-

Thirty-some odd years and it seems Budbill is still surprised at the life he has chosen, the harsh remove of his surroundings. The specters of what could have been — tenure, accolades — hover tantalizingly on the horizon like a mirage.

himself drawn to worldly trappings, like ego, money and fame.

So when he gets a little preachy, it’s easy to forgive.

Because Budbill’s often beating up on himself. Thirtysome odd years and it seems he is still surprised at the life he has chosen, the harsh remove of his surroundings.

The blacktop is 20 miles away!

These poems shout. The specters of what could have been — tenure, accolades — hover tantalizingly on the horizon like a mirage.

As a practicing Buddhist, Budbill is inclined to make a ritual out of outsmarting the mind’s self-awareness, its gnawing tendency to pat itself on the back for refusing the here and now. The trick of these poems — or to use a loftier word, their endeavor — is to strip that awareness down, peel it away like bark from a tree, and leave the essential remains.

In this sense, a certain sameness of tone and subject creeps into the verse. Many of the poems rail against ambition, certainty, the self.

Here is one: All this ego all this drive to get somewhere when at the finish line death sits one leg over the other hands folded in his lap a little smirk on his face.

Here is another: It’s the end of August and I’m tired.

The garden is tired. The grass is tired.

Everything is tired. We’ve all had too much summer.

winked by death but also ropes us into the fellowship of the duped.

The second poem strikes a tone of resignation and peace: as the lines trickle down the page, Budbill’s speaking voice softens and his “self” evaporates. By the poem’s conclusion he has become part of the mist hovering in the wilderness around him. So much so that as the season changes, it seems odd he should remain.

This act of self-erasure is an intensely difficult thing to do — perhaps more so in life than on the page. Still, While We’ve Still Got Feet is a stirring record of Budbill’s commitment to living mindfully, simply and in concert with the world around him. He hasn’t given up on life, simply reinvented what it means for him. Or he’s still trying to: “I’m over sixty,” he writes. “Am I old enough now / to let go of my young-man, / white knuckle / grip / on dreams / of fame and fortune? Naw, not yet.”

That’s good news. We can look forward to reading more from him. 쩾

A Cave on Judevine Mountain There is a cave on Judevine Mountain, a secret place, way back in the woods, high up on a hidden slope, in a place no one ever goes. Only I know where it is.

No one else has ever been there. I go up there a lot and sit around, make a little fire, boil some tea, sometimes cook a little meal, but mostly what I do is sit and wait, poke at the fire, add a twig or two and wait and wait and stare, until suddenly I know what to do.

STANDING DOWN AND STANDING UP A handful of Vermonters opposed to the war in Iraq demonstrated last week across from the U.S. Army’s recruitment post in Williston to demand that recruiters do a better job of telling the truth to potential enlistees. About 10 protesters held signs and waved banners on the afternoon of May 20, the day the U.S. Army had designated as “Army Values Stand Down Day.” For 24 hours, the Army withdrew all 7500 of its recruiters for a day-long refresher course in military ethics. The extraordinary move was prompted by reports of 480 allegations of recruitment improprieties since October 1.

Among the demonstrators was Joseph Gainza of the American Friends Service Committee in Montpelier. “We wanted to bring up the issue that recruiting lies are not victimless crimes,” says Gainza, “that there are people who get themselves involved in situations that if they had been told they truth, they may not have.”

Gainza also noted that the group wasn’t protesting against the recruiters themselves — people who, he adds, “are themselves victims of a foreign policy that puts us into wars needlessly.”

The demonstration, which coincided with similar events across the country, took place without incident. Reportedly, several passersby gave the demonstrators the thumbs-up or Victory sign. But one or two displayed other fingers. KEN PICARD

WORKING HIS CONNECTIONS Telecom big-shot Timothy Nulty wants to make phone, broadband, and cable TV public utilities in Burlington STORY: CATHY RESMER • IMAGES: MATTHEW THORSEN

i

t hardly seems possible, but by the end of 2007, all Burlington residents will be able to pay just one bill each month for their home phone service, broadband Internet connection and cable television channels. And they won’t be making the check out to Verizon, or Adelphia — they’ll be paying the City of Burlington, via Burlington Telecom.

At least, that’s the city’s plan. Set in motion in the late 1990s — and twice approved at the polls — the project is finally nearing completion. A test of 2400 homes in the city’s South End is expected to begin service by the end of 2005. But there’s still at least one obstacle in the way — Adelphia Communications. The cable company has intervened in the city’s bid for a Certificate of Public Good to provide cable service; the city’s newest utility already has clearance to deliver everything else.

A March public hearing in Burlington’s City Hall drew more than 100 people, most of whom complained vigorously about Adelphia. This week, the Public Service Board is holding formal hearings at the Fletcher Free Library during which Adelphia, working with industry group The New England Cable and Telecommunications Association, will present its case. The company would like the city to stay out of the cable biz, and warns that Burlington taxpayers could end up paying big bucks if their municipally owned venture fails.

Timothy Nulty disagrees. When it comes to telecom, the 63-year-old Jericho economist is something of an expert. He’s worked on telecom policy issues since 1975. As chief economist for the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, he helped write the legislation that still regulates the industry today. Then, as senior economist and project manager at the World Bank from 1985 to 1995, Nulty handled a billion dollars of telecommunication investments in developing nations such as Poland and Slovakia. After leaving the Bank, he founded a venture capital firm in Hungary, and spent four years funding telecom start-ups in Eastern Europe.

In 1999, Nulty began a two-year stint as a senior policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Energy — his boss, former Energy Department CFO Mike Telson, calls him “one of the smartest people I know.” In 2001, Nulty retired to Vermont, and built a house in Jericho.

Now one of Burlington Telecom’s biggest proponents, he’s walking the talk as the project’s director.

Nulty says he took the BT job — despite receiving “a silver handshake” when he left his Hungarian firm — because he wants to leave a legacy. Nulty has strong ties to the Green Mountain State. He was born in New York, but his parents retired here when he was 17, and it’s been his homebase ever since.

“I plan to live here for the rest of my life,” he says. “And I want to be known in this community as a person who built something solid and valuable. Not as a kook who wasted a lot of money and screwed things up.”

Some people definitely consider BT’s plan kooky. At the public meeting in March, one skeptical commenter linked the municipally owned telecom network to other Progressive-backed initiatives, such as City Market and the YMCAMoran plant move.

But Nulty says this project has nothing to do with politics or “lefty ideological stuff.” He considers a high-speed fiber network as essential to 21st-century life as water, electricity and roads. And he claims BT’s brand-new, all-fiber network trumps any fiber/copper cable combo Adelphia or anybody else has to offer. “The difference in carrying capacity is like the difference between a rowboat with an outboard motor and a 50,000-ton container ship,” he boasts. “That’s the actual mathematical ratio.”

Comments from General Dynamics seem to bolster Nulty’s assertion that the city needs better connections; company spokesman John Suttle reports that BT’s network “certainly wouldn’t hurt” the city’s chances for keeping the GD plant in town. According to Suttle, IT resources are important to the weapons manufacturer, which uses its own, separate data-transmission system in Burlington, but might potentially switch to a network as powerful as the city’s.

Nulty argues that if Burlingtonians wait for private companies to build that network, they’ll be waiting for decades.

“Sometime in the next 10 years, this kind of network will be built in Denver and Atlanta by Verizon or its equivalent — but they’re not coming here for 20 years,” Nulty warns. “And we can’t tolerate that.”

Despite his dealings with presidents, prime ministers and CEOs, Nulty — with his weathered face and neat gray beard — resembles a salty sea captain more than a slick financier. He earned his PhD in Economics from Cambridge University in England, where he taught before becoming chief economist for the United Auto Workers in 1973. Nulty’s family background is blue-collar; he comes from a line of firefighters and cops. A self-proclaimed “penny-pincher,” he’s more comfortable grabbing coffee at the Champlain Farms gas station on Main Street than mixing with the latte crowd at Muddy Waters.

Both establishments are within a block of BT’s windowless basement office, in the Memorial Auditorium Annex — ironically, across the street from Verizon. Nulty doesn’t even have his own cubicle, much less his own room; he uses a desk in the corner of a space the size of a locker room that he shares with his staff.

An adjacent area houses machines that run those parts of BT’s network that are

already up and running; Nulty and his staff provide Burlington’s schools, city offices and a handful of local businesses with phone and Internet service.

The switchover to the city-owned network happened without much fanfare. “Its lack of prominence in the spotlight is not an accident,” Nulty notes. Before he came on board, the city had planned to form a partnership with a for-profit company, and the project became “extremely politicized,” he says. The city eventually scrapped its original plan and decided to build the network itself.

“A lot of heat and light in the public spotlight is just a distraction,” says Nulty.

“Let’s get something done. Let’s actually

do stuff and not talk about it. And after we’ve got things working, and it’s real, then the conversation becomes more serious, and less just fluff and ideology.”

That’s happening, but slowly. The project has already taken much longer than expected, which has fueled some skepticism among city residents. Nulty is unapologetic.

“It’s like building a house,” he says.

“You can build a house by hiring an expensive architect, hiring a big-time builder to be your prime contractor. You give ’em the whole job, you stand back, and you’ll get a nice product, which for sure will cost a lot of money.” >> 22A

BURLINGTON TELECOM FAQS What’s the plan?

Burlington Telecom already operates a municipally owned optical fiber network that connects schools, city offices and several local businesses, providing phone and Internet service.

BT plans to expand the network to connect every home and business in the city. The “triple-play” wires will be capable of providing phone service, broadband Internet and cable TV, and will transmit up to a billion bytes per second.

BT already has a Certificate of Public Good to provide telephone and broadband Internet connectivity to every household in Burlington. They’re seeking a CPG to offer cable TV channels, too. Adelphia has intervened in this process, and the Public Service Board is holding formal hearings on May 25 and 26 in the Fletcher Free Library to decide whether to let the project proceed. A decision is expected by mid-July.

When can I get service?

Pending receipt of the CPG, Burlington Telecom will begin wiring a test site in the city’s South End by the end of the summer. This field trial site will include the area bounded by Flynn Avenue and South Willard, Pine and Maple Streets. Service may be available there by the end of 2005.

Barring any delays, BT will begin wiring the rest of the city in March, 2006.

Wiring is scheduled to be completed by mid-2007.

Is BT’s network really better than Adelphia’s?

Says Lisa Birmingham of Adelphia: “It’s like comparing apples and oranges. We use a different technology. Burlington probably says its network is significantly more powerful, but we’ll be providing similar service.” Adelphia will not provide phone service.

Says Timothy Nulty of BT: “Yes. The difference in carrying capacity is like the difference between a rowboat with an outboard motor and a 50,000-ton container ship. That’s the actual mathematical ratio.”

Will BT’s rates be competitive?

Nulty says yes. And if they’re not, or if the service is shoddy, another company, such as Adelphia, is welcome to swoop in and offer services over the city’s openaccess network. Adelphia spokeswoman Birmingham says she’s not sure the company would be interested, but she didn’t rule it out.

What if BT doesn’t get the Certificate of Public Good?

Nulty says the project would still work financially without cable TV, but he’s not sure the Burlington City Council would want to build out the network without it, since customer dissatisfaction with Adelphia was one of the primary motivators for its development. Even if the network doesn’t expand, the parts of it that already exist will remain in place.

When will Burlington get municipally owned wi-fi?

Don’t hold your breath. Nulty says the city would prefer to let wireless providers such as Soundtivity set up hotspots using the city’s network.

But, he says, there’s another way to do it. “I call it building the barn you can afford. Like the Vermont farmer. You build a little barn, you put five cows in it, you make a little money, it’s working OK. You take that money; you build an addition to the barn. You build slowly, so you’re not exposing your capital, you’re not taking big risks . . .

It’s much more modest. It results in a product that looks a little different from the artist’s rendition. But it’s also vastly safer.”

Nulty concedes that it will take six to nine years from when he started the project to see the city fully wired. “The original thing was going to do the whole project in 18 months, two years,” he says. “But they were going to go out and borrow 40 million bucks. We’ll build the whole thing for 17, 18.”

Though voters in 2000 approved a resolution to raise the money by creating bonds, Nulty has so far avoided that step. BT has financed the project through an arrangement with Coke Financial, in Scottsdale, Arizona. They put up the money, and ultimately own the network. The city pays a lease fee to use it. Some of the money comes from the city, and some from businesses that use the city’s network. Nulty is adamant that none of the money will come from Burlington taxpayers.

Once the city starts offering residential service, more revenue will be generated from individual customers, and from businesses selling their own services over BT wires. The city is offering open access to its network — anyone who wants to sell cable TV, Internet connectivity, or other information products will be able to use it, for a fee.

Adelphia and Verizon don’t allow that kind of access.

What kinds of “other products” might travel over the wires? Nulty gives examples such as distance learning, interactive doctor’s visits for shut-ins and security services. “You can have a couple of webcams in your house,” he explains, “so a single mom can check whether the kids are actually home doing their homework.”

He admits that he can’t predict what else might be available in the future. “As long as the only road to your house is a single mud track,” he explains, “you can’t talk about delivery services that require a truck . . .

The capacity of this network is so spectacular that a lot of innovative services that can make use of it haven’t really been developed anywhere because the road system hasn’t been available.”

Once the roads are built, however, providers like Adelphia may opt not to use them. Nulty says Burlington residents will be able to choose to continue getting service from their old providers over the new network, but it’s unclear whether Adelphia will pay BT’s lease fees to gain access.

Adelphia spokeswoman Lisa Birmingham says her company has invested heavily in its own network, and may not be ready to give that up, even though in some places they’re transmitting signals over copper cable rather than the much faster fiber optics. “We haven’t gotten to that decision yet,” she says.

That means that anyone who wants to get phone, Internet and cable TV — if BT is allowed to offer it — will have

along offering better service at competitive rates, as long as the network itself is intact. “I’m not anti-privatization,” he says. “If the retail goes bust, it goes bust.

We can survive that. The wholesale part of the business pays for itself.”

Gillett, who recently completed a review of Burlington Telecom’s plans, thinks he’s right. “It’s not without risk,” she says, “But it’s a risk that, if it doesn’t work out, it almost doesn’t matter.”

In BT’s windowless basement office in the Memorial Auditorium Annex, Nulty doesn’t even have his own cubicle, much less his own room.

to get them from the city, at least until competing businesses sign on.

Building the network is one thing; offering content over it is a slightly different business.

Sharon Gillett, a research associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Communications Futures Program, has written several papers on the expansion of municipal telecom networks.

She points out that most communities that offer wholesale services — a network for providers to use — choose not to offer the retail services themselves. She sounds like an Adelphia rep when she admits that “retail works better in the private sector.”

Nulty doesn’t necessarily disagree. He points out that the city will have certain advantages over private companies: they’ll hire customer-service reps in Burlington, they’ll be able to spread the cost over three revenue streams rather than one, they’ll be able to invest profits back into the network rather than funneling them to wealthy owners, or to a less profitable part of the company. But ultimately, he’s prepared for the city to stay out of selling retail services.

He says he wouldn’t mind at all if some other provider came

And she seems to think it’s a risk worth taking. “Burlington could ‘leave it to the private sector’” she writes in an email, “and maybe if they’re lucky they’ll get a few more channels of TV in a few years. But look at what BT has already done for the city. It has made fat pipes — high data transmission speeds — available to the local government and businesses, at reasonable prices, that simply weren’t available at any price before that. The model BT is proposing is just a way to extend that type of investment and capability to Burlington residents in the here and now.”

Gillett says Nulty is “the perfect guy” to implement it. “You couldn’t hire better,” she says.

But BT still has a tough row to hoe. They have to win their CPG — a decision is expected in mid-July. If they don’t get it, they’ll have to alter their plans, and maybe launch without cable service. And if they do get it, they’ll have to provide better service than Adelphia or face the wrath of their subscribers. Either way, BT’s vision of a locally owned telecommunications network is coming into focus.

When it becomes a reality, Timothy Nulty will take either a lot of the credit or a lot of the blame. 쩾

SORRY, NO TUESDAY EXTENSIONS.

V

ermont Stage Company is staging its firstever musical — sorry, play with music.

And while the concept leaves much to be desired, Quilters at FlynnSpace is well worth a look.

STORY The play, by Molly Newman and JONATHAN Barbara Damashek, is based on Patricia WHITTON Cooper and Norma Bradley Buferd’s 1970s oral history entitled, The Quilters: Quilters, directed Women and Domestic Art. Newman and

by Mark Nash, Damashek use scraps of documented conproduced by versations between female quilters to piece Vermont Stage together a patterned story of life on the Company.

FlynnSpace, prairie during the 19th and early 20th Burlington, centuries.

Wednesdays Members of the cast play multiple through Sundays, roles, with the main action centering May 18-29, various around one elder woman’s attempt to put times. $24-28. together a quilt with the help of her daughters. Upon completion, the “legacy quilt” will represent their lives and those of their ancestors. From this beginning, the narrative spins its way backwards, touching on numerous childbirths, living underground in a dugout and the devastation of prairie fire. Each story is introduced as a block that will ultimately be part of the finished quilt.

VSC Artistic Director Mark Nash generally guides his ensemble of seven actresses with an able hand, squeezing as much life as he can from the material, most of which is musical; there’s a number almost every five minutes. A four-member female band, led by musical director Meg Willey, provides the folky accompaniment.

Ultimately, Nash’s decision to present the play in the round may not have been the best one. A song sounds different when it’s projected in multiple directions; the audience catches a lot of one voice rather than one complete voice. It could be argued that because the women have dif-

ferent stories, their distinct voices need not mesh. But it’s also true that they’re working together to build a whole creation — a legacy quilt in honor of their mother — so their singing should soar as a unit.

When the ladies are arranged together singing, the effect is marvelous.

The in-the-round scenario also challenged choreographer Sebastian Ryder.

The tight performance space prevents her from creating the truly original choreography the show demands. Instead, she often settles for stomping, knee slapping on stools, and clapping. The choreography doesn’t detract from the production, and it does include some strong numbers, including the weaving “Thread The Needle.” But in most cases — most notably, the lively square dance that opens Act Two — the dancers seem constricted by the circular stage.

Sight-line challenges compromise the play’s most dramatic moment: the unveiling of the legacy quilt — a glorious piece of art in itself, created by the Champlain Valley Quilters Guild. The evening builds to this “reveal,” which should leave the audience awestruck. Doesn’t happen.

This is not to say that the staging doesn’t have some advantages. Nash creates numerous moments — big and small — of theatrical magic. During a song in the first act, “Are You Washed in the Blood,” the actresses create a circle of flowing red cloth to symbolize a baptismal pool of blood. It would be nearly impossible to be unmoved by this stunning visual.

Similarly, one scary prairie scene takes place inside a log cabin. When the house starts creaking in the wind, all the frightened women climb into bed with their mother. Nash doesn’t overplay the scene — just leaves it plain and simple.

Each individual actress brings particular strengths to this fine cast. Their portraits of pioneer women allow the audience to not only see, but feel the hardships these females overcame through their passion for their art.

Carolyn Gordon is wellsuited to the part of the matriarch whose story holds Quilters together. While Gordon was not entirely solid with her lines at Thursday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, she still managed to portray a hardened spitfire. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely grow into her role as the run progresses.

Ellen McQueeney has the meatiest roles and infuses them with a fiery passion. She is riveting when she describes the lasting impact of being widowed. When she explains how she uses quilting to heal her wounds, she momentarily eclipses Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for creating her legacy quilt. In fact, McQueeney is such a powerful presence onstage that she often seems like the narrator.

What Teri Watts lacks in vocal strength she makes up for in spirit, convincingly conveying her longing for a cowboy of her own. Charlotte Munson also gives a memorable performance, especially as a dying mute mother sewing a quilt block to pass on to her daughter. She is equally unaffected when she sings in her >> 39A

Nash creates numerous moments — big and small — of theatrical magic. also effective in a variety of roles.

Of particular note is Haley Rice, who is joyously infectious whenever she is onstage.

With all of her roles — ranging from a bitter girl plotting the familial “perfect revenge” to a feisty schoolboy — she shows a tremendous capacity for versatility. Where her numerous characters could easily lend themselves to being oddballs or, even worse, perky, she effortlessly surpasses cliché to create a wonderfully diversified array of characters.

John Kiedaisch’s scenic design is appropriately simple, and the lighting design by John Paul Devlin enhances the staging.

Despite its loosely stitched story, Quilters is a rare show of female solidarity. Thanks to great acting and singing, it all comes together in the end. 쩾

169 LOWER CHURCH STREET BURLINGTON â&#x20AC;˘ 651-9660

ast month, two ominous signs appeared on the double glass doors of downtown Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I mean, FedEx Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; copy shop at the corner of 12:40:24 PM South Winooski and Main Street. The friendly but firm blue-and-purple notices STORY inform customers that starting June 1, CATHY RESMER Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will begin closing at 11 p.m. and opening again at 6 a.m.

Like many Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulars who have IMAGE MATTHEW come to rely on the chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24/7 availabilTHORSEN ity, I was shocked. Hearing that Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was cutting its hours was like finding out Wanna complain? that my soulmate doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get me Call 1-800-2KINKOS after all. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you understand, I wanted to or email customer. tell my favorite office and print center, I relations@fedex love you for your hours. kinkos.com.

Branch Manager H. Binney Mitchell assures me that this has nothing to do with me; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about increasing â&#x20AC;&#x153;efficiency.â&#x20AC;?

And that makes me bitter. I mean, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next, no free popcorn at City Market? No Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? But I guess this is what happens when you fall in love with corporate America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave you for the money.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had to run to Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 2 a.m., youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably thinking whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big freakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deal? Clearly you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate the toll this will take on our creative economy. Having an all-night copy shop in town is one of the things that makes Burlington a livable city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important for musicians, artists, organizers and students, who often visit the store late at night to make fliers and print reports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, many of them are procrastinators, but plenty of them have jobs that prevent them from using the

L

store during daytime hours. Closing Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 11 p.m. will cramp their style.

And it will dramatically alter the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late-night landscape. Soon, the only 24hour hang-outs will be Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which are in South Burlington, and Price Chopper, which might as well be. For this reason, comics illustrator and graphic designer Greg Giordano calls the hours change â&#x20AC;&#x153;tragic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be, you could get online at Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, print out some color copies, and go get Moons Over My Hammy,â&#x20AC;? he laments, referring to the Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only be able to get Moons Over My Hammy.â&#x20AC;?

This betrayal is especially bitter because like many Vermonters, I generally loathe national chains. But, Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has always seemed, well, different. I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only one who feels this way. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the funky name. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the helpful, quirky staff who actually take pride in their work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people like Meg, the Copy Goddess, and Andrew, who played the theramin. Or maybe it is just the hours. For whatever reason, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people who would sooner drink pee than Starbucks coffee wax eloquent about Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial copiers and their workstations stocked with fresh Sharpies and glue sticks.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just artists who are affected; all sorts of people use Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at night.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real melting pot. And the odd hours encourage camaraderie absent during the light of day.

At midnight on the Saturday before UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation, while young, rowdy revelers gather at the downtown bars, Captain Randy Gates of the Vermont

The publication is called “Mud ’N Fun.” When I tell him that after June 1, Kinko’s will close at 11, he’s crestfallen.

second or third shift, and come in to use the computers. “I feel bad for them,” he says.

Although the signs don’t say so, both Gates and Wilkinson-Ray immediately assumed, as I did, that FedEx was behind the hours change.

The shipping company bought Kinko’s last year, and has already made some changes — the name, for example, and the staff’s bright purple aprons.

Branch manager Mitchell more or less confirms my suspicions over coffee at Muddy Waters. He seems surprised by my emotional reaction, and says, somewhat defensively, “This wasn’t supposed to be a dramatic change.”

He also reminds me that California-based Kinko’s hasn’t always been open all night; the chain has been around since 1970, but it didn’t go 24/7 until the early ’90s. Mitchell says some branches cut back on their hours years ago, after staff in New York City raised safety concerns.

Ultimately, though, this round of cutbacks — which are happening all over the Northeast — can be traced to FedEx. Mitchell says a newly appointed regional vice-president — a veteran of the FedEx side of the company — has recommended that the store be closed between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. “He’s looking to improve quality,” spins Mitchell.

If you’re wondering how quality has anything to do with cutting back hours, you have to understand that Kinko’s is actually running two businesses; the self-serve copy and computer services, and the professional production work that happens behind the counter. Only one of those businesses will close between 11 and 6.

In other words, the lights will be on, but the doors will be locked. You won’t be able to make any copies, but the folks in back will still be at it.

Mitchell estimates that this will cost the store between 3 and 5 percent of its daily business, but it will likely improve turn-around times on overnight orders.

Still, I sense that he’s not thrilled about the change. He offers a ray of hope when he adds, “It’s not set in stone.”

In other words, if customers make a fuss, they’ll tweak the new hours, or maybe scrap them altogether.

Incidentally, anyone interested in making a fuss can call the Kinko’s hotline at 1-8002KINKOS and email them at customer.relations@fedexkinkos. com.

Or they can just stand in the building’s foyer and scream.

That’s what one guy did last Friday night. At first I thought he was having some drunken fun, until Captain Gates mused, “Maybe he just found out Kinko’s is closing.” 쩾

<music> DATE WITH THE EIGHT :: Burlington’s twang-toned darlings

The

Middle Eight are finally ready to drop their sophomore effort, titled Lubec. From the Beatles-esque bounce of opener “St. Judy” to the train-hopping authenticity of “Woody Guthrie,” the record brims with pop savvy and down-toearth charm. This Thursday, the band plays a special two-floor extravaganza at Nectar’s and Club Metronome — a gig that serves as a CD release party as well as a benefit for long-running local music preservationists Big Heavy World. Sponsored by hometown brewmeisters Magic Hat, the show promises to be an eclectic exhibition of Green Mountain talent. Joining The Middle Eight across two stages will be darkhop revolutionaries Manifest Nexto Me, Gypsy/klezmer favorites Black Sea Quartet, country-tinged crooner Brett Hughes, mock-poppers The Jazz Guys, indie-songsmith Ryan Power, punk-rockers The Breaking In, garage-rock sophisticates The Horse and acoustic strummers The Year’s Best. So come on out, celebrate The Eight, and help archive Vermont music.

TOTAL ECLIPSE? There hasn’t been much going on at Waitsfield’s Eclipse Theater in the last few months, but on Saturday, the venue will spring to life — perhaps for the last time. Featuring top local talent and a popular national act, the 3rd Annual May Rain Blues Festival might be a fun way to spend part of Memorial Day weekend. The event — which was announced in February — has suffered some setbacks, including the last-minute cancellation of Alvin Youngblood Hart.

Owner Chris Jones still hopes for a good turnout, but has dropped several hints about the venue’s uncertain future. “If the show does well, I’ll be announcing a tentative summer and fall concert schedule at the Eclipse,” he wrote in a recent e-mail. “If it’s not meant to be, the only future announcement you’ll receive from me regarding the Eclipse Theater will be the date of the nationally advertised public auction.”

The fest, which takes place on two stages, features Vermont guitar legend Seth Yacovone, bluesy locals Nobby Reed Blues Project, and mutant jazz masters Charlie Hunter Trio. Progressive groovers Vorcza will also be there, joined by saxophonist-flutist Jessica Lurie. Their organist Ray Paczowski will soon be heading out on the road as part of Trey Anastasio’s new quintet.

Hunter’s unique take on jazz comes from his remarkable dexterity on the eight-string guitar. Capable of playing basslines, chords and complex melodies seemingly at the same time, he’s one of the most innovative players on the modern improv scene.

Tickets are available at Pure Pop Records in Burlington, Riverwalk Records in Montpelier, Main St. Stationery in Middlebury and Tempest Bookstore in Waitsfield. Call Chris Jones at 434-7650 or email seedsofsong@hotmail.com for more information.

SUNDAY GROOVE BACK FROM EXILE I caught at least one “side” of the double album Exile on Main Street as performed by Seth Yacovone’s Feverhouse Funk at Metronome last Friday night. It definitely rocked. Seth and his band plowed through the Rolling Stones classic, evoking the legendary sessions with contagious enthusiasm.

Recorded in the French countryside, the 1972 LP found the Stones at the peak of their rock ’n’ roll recklessness, stumbling through the ragged tunes in a booze-and-narcotics-fueled haze. While it would be inadvisable to replicate every aspect of the Stones’ debauchery, Feverhouse Funk offered a spirited approximation.

With a sloppy charm all their own, they blasted out versions of such tunes as “Rocks Off” and “Shake Your Hips,” featuring Yacovone on vocals and acoustic and electric guitars, Nathan Bramhall on saxophone, Jason Roe on drums, Andy Burke on bass and background vocals, Sheila Metcalf on keys and vox, and Bob Wagner on electric, acoustic and lap steel guitars. Particularly exciting were Seth’s hyper vocals on “Happy,” a tune originally sung by Keith Richards. Yacovone possesses a somewhat utilitarian voice, but on this cut he really let loose, practically screaming the song’s chorus. Metcalf and Burke nailed most of the background vocals on the gospel-tinged “Tumbling Dice,” while Roe’s work behind the kit was tighter and more defined than Charlie Watts’. That’s not entirely surprising; listening to Exile you get the impression that Watts sometimes forgot he was even playing.

And what an audience! Wannabe hippie mamas, aging lotharios, Hells Angels rejects and numerous college-age dudes crammed in front of the stage, bouncing and swaying in ecstatic abandon — or at least intoxication. When Seth and Co. tore through a super-heavy version of “Loving Cup,” I feared the floor was gonna cave in and we’d all land on top of the band playing downstairs at Nectar’s. It was cool to be part of such an enthusiastic crowd, though — after my billionth indie-rock show, I’m getting a little burned out on folks nodding their heads with their arms folded across their chests.

All in all, it was a loud, sweaty good time, entirely in keeping with the Rolling Stones’ raunchy vibe. It’s nice to hear Yacovone with a full band again — now how ’bout giving Sticky Fingers a shot?

The Langdon Street Café in Montpelier plays host to tribal fusion sensations Toubab Krewe Sunday in a special 4 p.m., family-friendly show. Blending Malian, Jamaican and American styles in a highly danceable instrumental stew, the five-member group is starting to get noticed.

Band member Dave Pranski is rehearsing with the band at his home in Cabot in preparation for their upcoming performance at Tennessee’s wildly popular Bonaroo Festival, which should expose them to a wider audience. But they’ll be back in VT near the end of summer; Northeast Kingdom Music Festival chief Ed DuFresne has snagged the group for his own concert, which takes place August 5 & 6 at the Chilly Ranch in East Albany. His production company, edified presents, set up the Montpelier show as a sneak preview of sorts. So pack up the kids, swing on by and check it out. For more information, contact The Langdon Street Café at 223-8667 or edified presents at 229-9942 or edified2@hotmail.com.

HONORING JOE It’s been several months since we lost Big Joe Burrell, and that gregarious titan of the saxophone is sorely missed. On Thursday, Joe’s family and friends will gather at Burlington’s Unitarian Church for a 7 p.m. memorial service honoring the beloved musician.

The low-key ceremony will be followed by a jam session hosted by Joe’s old group, The Unknown Blues Band, starting at 9 p.m. “The other day my wife was saying, ‘It’s weird to plan this thing, because it feels like Big Joe is going to be there,’” says recording engineer and Unknown Blues Band keyboardist Chuck Eller. “It feels like a surprise party for him — it hasn’t really sunk in that he won’t be present. But maybe he’ll show himself in some form.” Fans can then move over to Halvorson’s for the regular Thursday night Friends of Joe set, which carries on through the evening.

Big Joe’s final CD, I’m a Lucky So and So, will also be released this week. A mellow collection of sentimental jazz ballads, it showcases some of his most tender and reflective playing. “It’s a collection of some of Joe’s favorite tunes — stuff he always wanted to record,” Eller says. Next Thursday, a more public celebration of Joe’s life in music takes place at Halvorson’s as part of Jazz Fest.

SAM PREKOP, WHO’S YOUR NEW PROFESSOR

THE MIDDLE EIGHT, LUBEC (Self-released, CD)

(Thrill Jockey, CD)

Chicago indie legend Sam Prekop has spent most of his career incorporating non-rock flavors into his smooth-as-silk compositions. As the leader of the celebrated outfit The Sea & Cake, he combined world music, elevator jazz and crisp electronica in an intricate sound that helped define post-rock. Who’s Your New Professor, Prekop’s second solo effort, doesn’t stray too far from this formula. While somewhat less clinical than recent Sea & Cake releases, it’s nonetheless incredibly pristine.

Prekop has always been something of a crooner; his delicate voice and whisper-thin melodies are pleasant, if somewhat milquetoast. The 11 tunes on his latest are like cotton candy for the late-twentysomething set — the perfect soundtrack to a grad-school romance. A multi-instrumentalist, Prekop has a remarkable understanding of texture and space and employs both to evoke moods ranging from the seductively playful to the delicately melancholic.

The first track, “Something,” opens with a delicate guitar arpeggio that drifts hazily over a gurgling synth line and staggered drum figure. Prekop’s subdued vocals make the lyrics often difficult to decipher, but it doesn’t really matter — his singing is simply another pastel hue in the music’s tonal spectrum.

The jazzy bounce of “Two Dedications” is engagingly simple. With its mellow sway and catchy refrain, the song achieves a laid-back intimacy that is often absent from his work with Sea & Cake. “Chicago People” shimmers like heat waves on blacktop; its muted horn lines stretch out over the mellow groove with tranquil refinement. Prekop’s falsetto doubles the guitar melodies in the song’s chorus, while the relaxed bass line fleshes out the lilting chord progression.

Perhaps the album’s most upbeat number, “Little Bridges” features wah-wah guitar and crisp rimshots. Unfortunately, a studious distance prevents Prekop and his associates from really laying into it: Prekop’s funk is restrained and symmetrical — a post-modern approximation of r&b. Toms and cymbals rumble like far-off thunder on the graceful “Between Outside.”

Hushed and fragile, the song winds along slowly, bringing the album to a contemplative close.

Prekop’s deft arrangement skills and broad musical palette are more sophisticated than your average acoustic strumming singer-songwriter. Yet if you strip away the jazzy inflections and production intricacies, you’re left with what amounts to a soft-rock album — the modern-day equivalent of a late ’70s Al Stewart release. Not that there’s anything wrong with that — it’s just something for the modern hipster to consider. Hear Prekop Wednesday, July 1, at Club Metronome with James Yorkston and Swale.

Burlington alt-country darlings The Middle Eight have been promising the release of their debut full-length for a long, long time. Now, a solid six months after word of its release began to spread, the record is finally seeing the light of day. They’ll play the Magic Hat Variety Show on Thursday at both Nectar’s and Club Metronome.

In this world of mass-marketed, assembly-line pop, it’s comforting to see a band take their time. I can tell you — it was worth the wait.

The group is made up of some of Burlington’s best young musicians: brothers Daniel, Tyler and Ariel Bolles, along with Michael Scott Duplessis, Jeremy Gantz and David Stockhausen. The Bolles have the singing-siblings thing down — they’re a Carter family for the 21st century. Adding to the band’s depth are the compatible songwriting skills of Dan Bolles and Stockhausen. Each boasts unique compositional styles, yet they achieve the rare feat of having their material blend seamlessly track after track.

Dan Bolles’ “St. Judy” opens the record with buoyant banjo picking, chiming, Byrds-style electric guitar and punchy percussion. Duplessis pops up after each chorus, slicing the song apart with swirling, carnivalesque organ solos. A first-rate, lead-off track, it’s country-rock polished with Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound.

“Easy Chair” and “Wind Me Up” are also prime examples of Dan Bolles’ unique talent as a songwriter. In the former, guest fiddler Joe Cleary — from Vermont’s other great family band, The Cleary Brothers — sets a mournful tone. Bolles delivers the bittersweet lyrics.

Stockhausen is an increasingly impressive guitarist, and he throws down stinging leads on “You Woke Me Up,” and “Put Me Down.” As a songwriter, he specializes in uplifting country-tinged ballads. “Sun Always Shines” is an appropriately summery slow-burner with a big-hearted chorus. Album closer “Woody Guthrie” is a tender, late-night spiritual with crushingly beautiful harmonies. The track wouldn’t be out of place on a Gillian Welch record, which, for anyone not clued in, isn’t exactly a bad thing.

Like Whiskeytown’s Pneumonia, Lubec is country at heart, but the songs reach beyond the traditional confines of shuffle-and-twang, into lavish three-dimensional pop. But whereas Pneumonia charted a band in disarray and self-destruction, Lubec shows a group just taking flight.

ARTWORK “Sushi”

by Jenel Wildermuth

PHOTO Marc Awodey

ow in its third decade of serving as both a restaurant and a gallery, the Daily Planet on Center Street is downtown Burlington’s longest-running café-art venue. Considering it usually hosts three shows a month, the place has probably accommodated a record number of artists as well. As usual, three different shows are featured this month — in the solarium, the restaurant and the bar. In addition, a fourth artist, Terry Zigmund, is displaying stained-glass works hung on the six-pane window between the solarium and restaurant.

They’re best viewed from the solarium.

Zigmund is a well-established glass artist, and her “New Works in Glass and Metal” is an exhibit of three abstract stained-glass panels. Each is a vertical composition with Mondrian-like borders and an organic central form that branches and blossoms into shapes that suggest buds and leaves. Two of the pieces have emerald green accents and the third a deep ruby-red form.

Zigmund uses a variety of textures as well as hues in her designs.

Gina D’Amico’s 14 black-and-white photographs in the solarium are collectively entitled “Grey Matter.” This show of well-composed, untitled photos focuses primarily on outdoor subjects, rather than studio work. Daylight provides the shadows. Among the images

are a gargoyle overlooking a city vista and a semicircular arrangement of benches in a snowy park. Lines and curves in the benches restate linear forms found in the background trees.

D’Amico’s subjects include figures and the patterns and rhythms of urban life.

Ten oil landscape-paintings by Brian Hunter are in the Planet’s dining room this month. Hunter is a realist, whose traditional style captures the beauty of rural Vermont. Many of his canvasses are horizontal rectangles of the sort produced by a panoramic disposable camera. In “Old Farm Barn,” the rural architecture is grouped on the right side of his rectangle, while the shadows of midday darken the barn’s foreground.

In the thin horizontal landscape “Fall’s Triumph,” the composition is also activated by a creative use of light.

Browns and dull greens ramble over hills, while a cluster of bright orange hardwoods in the right side of the image is singularly illuminated by a break in the clouds. Hunter’s use of subtle sunlight, and rectangular picture planes, adds personality to his otherwise conservative works.

The landscape pictured in Jenel Wildermuth’s “Goat on a Farm” seems to come from a completely different universe than Hunter’s. It too is a horizontal composition with rolling hills in the

background, but Wildermuth’s colors are wilder — indeed, her “Symbols” show of 15 mixed-media paintings in the bar constitutes the most playful Daily Planet art this month. “Sushi,” for example, shows a pair of line-drawn fish on a blue-andwhite field of traditional Japanese wave patterns. Red circles in the corners are an irreverent reference to Japan’s flag.

“The Equine” is similarly iconographic. References to Matisse seem to be everywhere these days, and “The Equine’s” contour-line horse on a matrix of patterns and just three colors recalls the later, decorative phase of the old Fauve’s works.

But Wildermuth is also quite inventive in her own right. “Egyptian Coyote” is a cartoonish white animal on a gray background, crowded by the classical-geometric-swirl pattern common to Greece and Hellenistic Egypt. The patterning is chaotically painted in turquoise, mauve, olive green and ultramarine blue behind the coyote, and in gray on the coyote’s coat.

If the art seems to come from several different worlds, or at least reflects wildly different aesthetic approaches, it’s a tribute to the diverse tastes of the Daily Planet’s eclectic curators. Both “emerging” and established artists have put up some great shows in this ever-changing venue over the years. m

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

Cinderella Man HHHH

C FIGHTING WORDS: Crowe plays a downand-out boxer whose comeback captures the imagination of Depression-era Americans.

inderella Man is a movie about second chances. It’s the story of an Irish light heavyweight named James Braddock whose career unraveled around the time of the 1929 stock market crash, then turned around in one of the most unlikely comebacks in boxing history.

In a sense, it represents a second chance for its director, Ron Howard, as well. After all, this isn’t the first time he’s teamed up with a major box office star to tell the inspirational story of an Irish fighter. The first time was in 1992, when he and Tom Cruise combined forces for the overblown and forgettable Far and Away. That was an epic misstep for the filmmaker. This time, he gets it right.

Cinderella Man also provided Howard a second chance to work with Oscar-winner Russell Crowe and, just as they did in A Beautiful Mind, the two prove a potent combination. The actor creates a compelling portrait of the athlete who hits bottom just as the Great Depression tightens its grip on workingclass America. With a wife (Renée Zellweger) and three young children to look after, the once-promising pugilist is reduced to doing menial work on a loading dock outside New York City.

Zellweger, it must be said, is not the picture’s greatest strength. There are points where her chin-up, kewpie-doll bit threatens to topple the movie into musty melodrama. Too often, with food and wood in desperately short supply, she brings to mind a past-her-prime Shirley Temple wringing her hands in some heart-tugger adapted from Dickens. She could be a pouty Mrs. Cratchit.

Fortunately, Crowe’s performance more than compensates.

His Braddock is a winning mix of hard-luck pluck, domestic tenderness, cheek, bravado and determination. Where sports figures in movies are traditionally motivated by dreams of glory, Braddock dreams of getting back into the ring simply to put food on the table, to prevent his family from being split apart, his kids sent to live with relatives who can better afford to care for them. When he does get his chance, a real-

life miracle begins to unfold. His fight to keep his family together is as moving as the against-all-odds drama of his fairy-tale return.

Paul Giamatti, fresh from his highly praised performance in Sideways, turns up as Joe Gould, the fighter’s manager.

He’s a smart aleck, naturally, but there’s more to this performance than laughs. As a man who remains in his friend’s corner through good times and bad, he brings to the role a nobility we’ve not seen from him before.

And, since this is a boxing movie, there’s the matter of the matches. I don’t know about you, but, when I think of visceral screen violence, I think of the names Peckinpah, Scorsese and Tarantino before I think of Opie. All the same, the ring sequences are rousing, realistic, first-rate fun and, in terms of artistry, far more evocative of Raging Bull than Rocky.

The picture is crowded with colorful characters — Bruce McGill’s, Paddy Considine’s and David Huband’s among them. But Craig Bierko stands out in the role of legendary mauler Max Baer. The champ, we learn, has already killed two men in the ring. Bierko plays him as part caveman, part celebrity playboy. Baer stands between Braddock and boxing immortality. Getting past him appears to be the most impossible part of the Irishman’s impossible dream.

Plot-wise, Cinderella Man is about as revolutionary a work of cinema as Seabiscuit. Let’s face it: we’ve been here before.

Every element of the film — from its production design to its score — will remind you of a dozen other movies. It all could have wound up horribly, embarrassingly cornball. But somehow, it didn’t.

That’s because Cinderella Man is an amazing story brought to life by gifted people that makes you feel good without making you feel guilty about it. Who doesn’t like to see the underdog make it every once in a while? In a summer set for domination by Lucas and Spielberg, Howard turns out to be an unexpectedly strong contender. m

SEVEN DAYS DREW STONE AT WORK

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Road Movies

Stone essentially invented the wheelies-with-attitude genre when he shot 12 O’Clock in 1999. events throughout the summer in Poland, France and Canada.

Stone’s latest production, Respect the Hustle, will be released on June 14.

It profiles a guy he calls “the most wellknown American rider right now;” coincidentally, Big Apple-based Tony D. Freestyle is sponsored by Land-Air Honda of Essex Junction. The dealership plans a live local performance by Mr. Freestyle in the fall or early 2006, says owner Don Erling.

Stone essentially invented the wheelies-with-attitude genre when he shot 12 O’Clock in 1999. “I discovered this radical, exciting movement that reminded me of early punk rock,” he explains.

“The movie, which is now a cult classic, was a big success and helped popularize the sport.”

Over the next few years, Stone turned out Urban Street Bike Warriors and a slew of sequels. These one-hour DVD docs, sold online or at motorcycle shops, are also distributed in Europe, Japan and Australia. “There’s no nudity.

It’s not a freak show. It’s not Girls Gone Wild,” he says.

Although his career began with music videos for acts such as Run DMC and Biggie Smalls, moviemaking is deeply rooted in Stone’s life. He initially collaborated with his brother Evan, who has since become executive director of Current.tv, the youth-oriented television network Al Gore is helping to establish in San Francisco. Their father, Arny Stone, created commercials and directed Me Whee, a 1974 HBO doc about Muhammad Ali. The Stone clan will soon welcome Drew’s fiancée Cristine Cambrea into the family. “I’ve known her for eons.

We broke up and then reconnected last summer, which is why Vermont’s now my home,” he says. “I’m so happy here.” That emotional footnote that might make Biohazard blush.

In the new film Layer Cake, Daniel Craig plays a disaffected assassin who wants out of the crime business. The British hunk seems to have an Israeli

doppelganger, an equally intense actor named Lior Ashkenazi. He’s the star of Walk on Water, opening Friday at the Roxy in Burlington. This psychological thriller, directed by Eytan Fox, is about a Mossad assassin named Eyal whose killer instincts crumble when his wife commits suicide. Given a less violent assignment, he has to determine if a dead Nazi war criminal is actually still alive. Eyal goes undercover to befriend the old man’s German grandchildren: Pia (Caroline Peters), who lives on a kibbutz, and her visiting gay brother Axel (Knut Berger). Things get complicated as these three attractive young people learn more about each other.

Set in Tel Aviv and Berlin, the absorbing Walk on Water effectively combines suspense, romance, drama, comedy, historical perspective and upto-the-minute political observations.

And watching Eyal search for his true self is easy on the eyes.

Despite workers testing equipment and installing carpet last Thursday morning, Palace 9 owner Harold Blank was determined to launch his Shelburne

Road cinema with an afternoon matinee of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. The sci-fi blockbuster played through the night in three of his nine screening rooms.

On Friday, seven Sithless films joined the schedule to signify the official debut of a venue revival with really comfy maroon seats and a knock-yoursocks-off digital sound system.

“I took custody of the place five weeks ago,” explains Blank, a 57-yearold exhibitor from Massachusetts.

“They didn’t start manufacturing the seats for me in Mexico until May 6. I’ve put just under half a million dollars into the renovations.”

He had six other partners at the Harvard Square Theater in 1970s Cambridge, later worked for Hoyts — the previous proprietor of his South Burlington enterprise — and is currently teamed with Merrill Jarvis in Williston’s Majestic 10. But the Palace represents Blank’s first solo venture.

He suggests, “This is an excellent film market — as healthy as it gets in the Northeast.” m

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule.

Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

With armor as an exoskeleton, the KNIGHT felt like a lobster.

A crying WALRUS is a hunk of blubbering blubber.

A quick bunny with a foaming mouth is a rapid rabid RABBIT. The coon CAT is half raccoon, half mountain lion.

It’s not a good idea to keep a FLAMINGO as a house pet.

The hammers used by CARPENTER ants are very tiny.

In the prison scene, Johnny Depp is QUEEN for a day.

Nothing rhymes with orange, mistletoe or DUCHESS. The CATERPILLAR is a lot like the Ugly Duckling.

What would you get if a HEDGEHOG married a porcupine?

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

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Then there’s the maniacal milliner.

rew Stone values audacious art, from hardcore rock bands with names like Biohazard to his own documentaries about gravity-defying stunts on city pavement. But the reason the 41-yearold New York native moved to Vermont last fall sounds rather warm and fuzzy. “What brought me here is a girl,” the Barre resident acknowledges.

In October, he’ll marry her in Stowe.

Before the nuptials, however, Stone is heading out on the road. On Memorial Day he’ll be at Guantanamo “to entertain the troops” with his street-bike films and a live choreographed show featuring some of the men and machines that appear in them. The Cuba gig will be followed by similar

They can’t all be classics. In fact, what we’ve got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. They came and went faster than you can say “straight to video.” Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

BALANCING ACT

Bill Shannon became adept at using walking aids as a child, after being diagnosed with a rare form of arthritis. This hasn’t slowed the dancer down, though. Shannon’s club-scene style mixes his trademark crutch technique with hip-hop, break dancing, skateboarding and some Charlie Chaplin-esque slapstick. His agility, strength and controlled imbalance have him literally dancing on air, and redefining “differently abled.” Although his favorite place to perform is the street, he has choreographed acts for Cirque du Soleil, and tours internationally. In Sketchy: A Dance Reality Show, Shannon solos and draws on his Step Fenz troupe. A live DJ tracks the spinning.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@BATS OF VERMONT BIRDS OF VERMONT MUSEUM, HUNTINGTON, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 10 A.M. If you’re driving too fast, it’s easy to miss the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington. But the 10 people who trickled in for Saturday morning’s “Bats of Vermont” presentation — mostly folks in their fifties or older, but also a high school freshman and a young couple with a 4-month-old infant — had all been here before. We spent several minutes admiring curator Bob Spear’s scores of meticulously detailed bird carvings before filing into a conference room.

Our presenter was Scott Darling, a Vermont Fish and Wildlife biologist who’s worked with bats for the last three years. Bat research is quite a change from Darling’s earlier work with larger mammals like whitetail deer and black bears. In contrast, bats can weigh as little as five grams — or less than two pennies — though their 1000 or so species make up one-quarter of the world’s mammals.

Darling’s slide show began with a few close-up photos and the requisite list of common bat myths. No, bats aren’t blind, nor do they fly into your hair. Moreover, bats are no more prone to rabies than raccoons or squirrels. And those sharp fangs aren’t for bloodsucking — none of Vermont’s nine species do that, Darling emphasized — but for cracking open insects.

And bats consume one-half their body weight in bugs every night.

In a chipper, folksy style, Darling walked us through Vermont’s nine bat species, from the largest — the hoary bat, a migratory species — to the dinkiest, the threatened smallfooted bat, a forest-dwelling variety. “We don’t know a darned thing about them,” Darling admitted, explaining that transmitters small enough to track them have only recently been developed.

In fact, Darling said, there’s a great deal that experts don’t know about Vermont’s bats, despite some large local populations, such as the 23,000 that swarm out of Dorset Cave every summer night at dusk. “It’s pretty cool if you like bats,” Darling added, “and pretty horrific if you don’t.”

HEART OF GOLD What if women could mechanically harness a man’s muscles to do their bidding? In The Truth Has No Heart, prolific Burlington playwright Stephen Goldberg offers a surrealistic, comic take on the battle of the sexes, based on bioengineering. In it, two exotic women seduce an unsuspecting vagrant and implant in his heart a motivation device that compels him to make money or risk exploding his ticker. Realizing his situation, he enlists his fellow drifters to help him overcome his ambition. Last produced in 1993, the play is part of an ongoing retrospective of Goldberg’s work, with a cast of six local stars.

TUNING IN

Self-taught musicians can be full of surprises. Classical guitar virtuoso Brad Richter first picked up the instrument at 12, was teaching and composing by 18, and is now so famous for his finger-picking method that he was recently included in a musical history reference book.

His technique is fast and multi-layered, producing a two-guitar sound so convincing that his solo CDs carry disclaimers about over-dubbing. He has been compared to inventive classical composer and pianist Franz Liszt. Richter strings up for a weekend show. Prepare to disbelieve your ears.

A week-long celebration of this ready-to-wear renaissance features a SoHo-inspired gallery walk, a karaoke shindig, and a “black-and-white” theme party, with two-tone attire encouraged to match the martinis and desserts. Catwalk stalkers on State Street show off alternatives to clogs and carpenter pants. And budding fashionistas get gussied up for a voguish charity ball finale to benefit the Montpelier City Arts Fund. Ooh la la!

MONTPELIER FASHION WEEK Monday, May 30 and Wednesday through Sunday, June 1-4, various Montpelier-area locations, times and prices. Info, 229-5959.

FOILED AGAIN

If Revenge of the Sith hasn’t satisfied your appetite for glowing, swooshing swordsmanship, consider the Vermont Fencing Alliance’s upcoming tourney. Sixty-four competitors from six states face off at Fort Ticonderoga in an outdoor event that’s more Three Musketeers than Jedi knight. The Olympic sport tends to appeal to men — and women — of action. Viveka Fox, head coach of the Alliance, notes “No one sits on a bench in épée.” Although 16th-century formal duels required blood as evidence of victory, today’s fencers get their point across through electric vests that buzz when a blade touches its target.

TICONDEROGA CHALLENGE ÉPÉE TOURNAMENT Saturday, May 28, Fort Ticonderoga, N.Y., 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. $12. Info, 518-585-2821.

MAY 25 - JUNE 01

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): A judge in Los Angeles was peeved when a potential juror let out a loud yawn during the jury selection process. “I’m sorry, but I’m really bored,” the man confessed. The judge found him in contempt and fined him $100.

Similarly, Aries, the universe will find you in contempt if you let yourself get sucked into activities that dull your senses, shut down your curiosity, or numb your lust for life.

This week it’s your sacred duty to seek out only the most interesting stimuli.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Most towns in Ghana have no street names, and the houses have no numbers. It’s hard to find where people live if you’ve never visited them before. This is a good metaphor for an issue I want to bring to your attention, Taurus. There’s a certain part of your life that has never been mapped, let alone organized. And yet it’s not at all wild; in fact, it’s like a bustling village where the streets have no names. It’s high time you brought some order and discipline to this place.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Film actor Gianni Russo, best known for his portrayal of wise guys, has fathered 11 children with 10 different women. He’ll be both your role model and anti-role model in the coming weeks, Gemini. Like him, your fertility will be abundant. Unlike him, you should focus this huge gift with precision and discrimination. Please don’t work on any more than two brainchildren at a time.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Research on newly discovered fragments of ancient New Testament texts reveals that Christian fundamentalists have been working under an erroneous assumption. The number of the Beast is not 666, as right-wing prophets of the apocalypse have long believed. The correct figure is actually 616. I mention this, Cancerian, because your ideas about enemies and evil are also about to undergo a revision.

Freed from an illusion, you will at first be sad, then relieved, then confused, then elated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I have a dream that in the New World, everyone will be paid in direct proportion to how much beauty they create. There’ll be an affirmative action program that ultimately makes most of us celebrities. Buddhist real estate developers will build a chain of sacred shopping centers in the heartland. The CEOs of the richest companies will be required by law to enjoy once-a-week sessions with Jungian psychotherapists. In the New World, April Fool’s Day will come once a month. There’ll be scientific horoscopes and mystical logic.

Every one of us will have at least one imaginary friend. Compassion will be an aphrodisiac. Pioneers in artificial intelligence will develop computers that can talk to God. That’s my vision of the New World, Leo. What’s yours? It’s a perfect moment to imagine your personal vision of utopia.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve probably never heard of one of the greatest heroes of the last 100 years. Virgo microbiologist Maurice Hilleman (1919-2005) developed vaccines for measles, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis and many other diseases. The Guardian said he saved more lives in the 20th century than anyone else. And yet, as is all-tootypical for Virgos, he never got anywhere near the acclaim he deserved. Having said that, I believe the coming weeks will depart from the astrological norm. Many of you Virgos will get much more of the recognition and rewards you have earned but never before received.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We’re all in the closet in one way or another. Every one of us feels that there’s some part of ourselves we’ve got to hide; that if we reveal the totality of who we really are, we will suffer.

For example, U.S. Army Sgt. Robert Stout, who was wounded and got a Purple Heart for his service in Iraq, ultimately decided he was tired of being secret about his homosexuality. As a result, he can’t re-enlist, even though he’d like to. My psychotherapist friend Alicia has always used astrology in her practice, but only recently chose to be open

about it. Some of her colleagues broke off relations when she told them. According to my reading of the omens, Libra, it’s an ideal time to carefully come out of whatever closet you’ve been in. I’m not saying there’ll be no repercussions; just that you’ll have clarity and strength as you deal with them. And the freedom you create with your brave revelation will change everything for the better.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One of “Sesame Street”’s most recognizable characters is Cookie Monster. After years of feasting on all the cookies he wanted, the fuzzy blue puppet has recently been forced to limit his intake. In an effort to teach kids better eating habits, the show’s producers even require Cookie Monster to sing a song called, “A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food.” I vociferously protest this action. Born November 2, Cookie Monster is a Scorpio, and Scorpios shouldn’t be compelled to tone down their desires as long as their desires aren’t hurting anyone.

You’re on this Earth to explore your cravings, to be led by your cravings to the frontiers of understanding. That’s the only way they can teach you all they have to teach. Now go and commune with as many cookies (or your personal equivalent) as you need to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the film 3-Iron, a man and woman meet and become lovers without ever speaking. They maintain their perfect silence even as they glide through a series of adventures, forging a sly, resilient harmony. Their romance provides a “fresh, confident vision of love as a kind of Buddhist refuge,” reported The Week. While I don’t recommend that you take up their model of intimacy forever, Sagittarius, I do think it’s a perfect time to try it out for a brief period. Do you dare? Spend a day or even a few hours with the person you’re closest to without ever saying a word to each other. (Nonsense sounds are permissible.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Last fall, millions of Ukrainians waged the “orange revolution.” Wearing orange scarves as their symbol of solidarity, they peacefully overturned the results of the rigged presidential election. Citizens of the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia had their own nonviolent insurrection in 2003, wielding bouquets of roses as they toppled their chief tyrant during the “rose revolution.” I hereby proclaim the coming week to be the launch of the Aquarian tribe’s “seed revolution.” Inspired by the metaphor of the seed, you will weed out the rotting status quo and plant your seed-like ideas everywhere you go. Carry a packet of seeds with you at all times. What kind? Doesn’t matter: pumpkin, wildflower, magic beans or anything that excites your imagination.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In 2004 the U.S. federal government gave $2.2 billion to the 50 states, directing them to spend the money to defend against terrorism. So far, though, 86 percent of the donation remains unused. Many of the states can’t seem to decide how to allocate the funds.

This problem reminds me of a situation in your life, Pisces. You, too, have been blessed with a sizable endowment that you have not taken full advantage of. Is this the week you change all that? It might help to figure out the reasons why you have not yet understood the true purpose of your gift.

with their dirty clothes. His wife Maria Schriver says that if he finds the kids’ pajamas and T-shirts lying around, he simply burns them. I urge you to take a page out of the Terminator’s book, Capricorn. It’s an excellent time to throw parts of your wardrobe into the fire — especially things that may still look OK but no longer suit your style. You know what I mean: the clothes that remind you of the person you used to be but no longer are. Once you’ve got the blaze started, why not fling in a bunch of other stuff that’s outdated, worn out, and weighing you down?

LOLA

the love counselor

Dear Lola, You have zero new messages . . . You have zero new messages . . . zero new messages . . . zero, zero, zero and more zeros. That’s about all I ever hear from my Seven Days’ Personals message box. Seven Days Personals has published more of my ads than there are points in a pin factory, most with the same result.

These ads I submit come to me like bolts from the blue, and apparently they’re good, because the Personals editor frequently features them as the “Ad of the Week,” “Match Made in Seven,” or they’re accented with cute little graphics.

Subsequently, however, I have to record a voice greeting for women to hear when they check me out, and at that point I always seem to get “filter’s block.” The outgoing messages I leave sound contrived and stupid. If I try to relax and not plan what to say, then the contrived part is gone but the stupid increases. No wonder I have no new messages.

The personal interview feature does not seem to help much, either.

Any suggestions?

The Zero Zombie Dear Zero, Perhaps you’re trying too hard. You don’t need to seal the whole deal on your outgoing message. You just want to sound friendly and approachable. Try to imagine that you’re one of the women who calls into your box. What would you want to know about this guy? The most successful greetings follow the three S principles: simple, sincere and short. Good luck!

Love, Lola

From managing the labor pool, to variable cost controls, to forward thinking, the student will be challenged to take a proactive, problem-solving approach to his/her assignments. The students will be given analytical tools and processes from which to attack a problem/challenge from multiple dimensions, while not losing focus of what it is that his/her company does; that is, maintain the mission in the most cost-effective manner. The students, as future hospitality professionals, will be interacting with a number of NECI contacts and clients in a business manner. This will require that each student maintain the finest standards in professionalism and communication with each client and contact at all times. This class will make extensive use of email and other technologies to conduct day-to-day class activities, as well as to communicate with each other, the Instructor and numerous NECI contacts/clients. This course is taught in the Hospitality Restaurant Management Bachelor’s program and requires a Master’s degree.
