Anyone in Ira Allen Chapel last weekend could have told you that the climate-change movement has picked up incredible momentum in the last few months: New strategies are being adopted; important alliances are being formed with nontraditional partners such as labor, agricultural and faith-based groups; and bold initiatives are being planned for this spring and summer.

The real story is not about Gov. Douglas but about the students and activists who are dedicating so much of their time and energy to come up with creative new ways to bring the issue of global warming to national attention and, more importantly, effect change.

Much better to be thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;cool thoughtsâ&#x20AC;? than to be thinking warm ones.

ex-believer in Jim Douglas and politicians in general. Global warming is real and serious, and it carries potential for ecological and human disaster.

Unfortunately, the politics behind American rejection of Kyoto are not as simple as Peter implies. Most people don’t know, and the media rarely remind them, that in 1997 the U.S. Senate passed a resolution rejecting U.S. participation in Kyoto by 95-0.

Why did all those Democratic

Senators join with Republicans to repudiate Kyoto? Why did Bill Clinton decline to sign it? The reasons are the basis for a serious story about global warming and the ills of both major parties. Peter could start by looking up Rep. Dingle (D-Detroit) if he wants to understand the frustrations of trying to legislate SUV mileage and ratify Kyoto.

Peter’s problem is the usual one in opinion journalism — he’s promoting an unhelpful, partisan soap

opera while dealing with the actual facts of the issue in a trivial way.

Progress on global warming is unlikely until the public is educated about the real political and scientific issues. Stories built on halftruths simply impede that education.

Ian Robertson WOLCOTT

LIVE LOVE I was encouraged to see that Seven Days was sponsoring a Singles

Night at Wine Works. Will people actually meet other people without their self-invented, delusional online-type personas? Dread the thought.

I occasionally skim the Seven Days personals columns and have become aware over the years how it appears that the “I Spy” column has mushroomed from perhaps half a dozen entries to the point where, in recent editions, it reaches 45 percent of all the personals. I could be way off base, but this burgeoning trade seems to have run parallel to the growth of cellphone use.

Here we have two opposing phenomena that may, in fact, be related. On the one hand, we have people placing desperate ads like “Umm...I think we passed on I-89.

You were going north, me south.

You in your ’05 Beemer, me in my 1986 Corolla (the one with the “Bernie For Mayor” sticker). You smiled at me (didn’t you?) before that logging truck severed our love.

You missed my leer . . . call me and see what else I can do with my face.”

On the other hand, the world is now infested with people seeming to have terminal earache, driving their cars with one hand, head glued to shoulder (God knows what the other hand is doing), suspended in their own audio cocoon, with terminal dry mouth from incessant, needy babbling. Being alone must scare the hell out of people.

Hats off to Seven Days for encouraging people to actually step up to the plate (or glass) at Wine Works (no logging trucks here), to swirl a few buttery Chardonnays or potent spicy Shiraz à la Sideways, to take a personal risk, just like in the old days, all in the hope of catching a fleeting invitation, responding, maybe connecting, perhaps with just a few words or even by body language alone, in the flesh, so to speak.

WARM RECEPTION Thank you for the great review of “An Evening at the Old Souk” [Scene@, February 23]. My friends (and family — the “smiling turbaned man” was my husband, Art, and the storyteller was my daughter, Claire) and I worked very hard over months and weeks to create an oasis of warmth and color in Vermont’s “bleak midwinter,” and we were glad to see that the audience had as good a time as we did.

Waell Murray of Global Market was a great booster for this event, as well as providing the delicious desserts. We are also very grateful to the Rose Street Artists’ Co-op for hosting us. We are now thinking of doing this every year.

Thanks again for the good review!

“The place for Pinot Noir”

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

—Donna Iverson and Bill Wargo

Cool Hand Leaving Albee told yours truly he’s going to join a small D.C. government-relations firm headed up by former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Steve Richetti, who worked for Clinton.

St. Patrick told Inside Track he will sorely miss his Cool Hand Luke. Choosing the right person for staff chief is, after all, one of the most important decisions a senator can make.

The “right” person, said Leahy, “has to be my alter ego.” With Albee, he said, “the friendship and respect we’ve had for one another made that work. We just talked in shorthand.”

With four kids, noted St. Patrick, Albee has big college bills ahead and can easily earn a lot more in the private sector than he can on a senate staff salary.

“There’s no chief of staff better in the whole Senate,” said Leahy softly.

Dittos, folks. In Vermont’s political world and wars, the cool hand of Luke left many a mark without leaving fingerprints.

Who else could have covered up the senator’s cross-dressing fling with a younger Sen. Orrin Hatch and then FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover?

Just kidding.

Barkin Leaving Bernie — U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders is losing his press secretary Joel Barkin to married life and the Big Apple.

And, make no mistake, Joel is a little sad to leave. There’s only one Bernie on Capitol Hill, and being his press secretary is a oneof-a-kind-experience. Barkin’s been at it for three years.

Ol’ Bernardo, said Barkin, “is one of the true good guys down here.”

Barkin told Seven Days his wife landed a big job “at a major new media agency” in Manhattan. And he’s accepted a consulting gig with the Working Families Party “to help them in their Social Security campaign (http://www.inthistogethercampaign.org).

“I’m leaving a bit reluctantly,” said Joel, “but married life is full of compromises, right?”

Riiight.

Lieutenant Busted — Next to Gen. Martha Rainville, Lt. Veronica Saffo, public affairs officer at Ft. Ethan Allen, is probably the best known member of the Vermont National Guard. Saffo has appeared in dozens of TV stories and newspaper articles in the last year.

But you won’t find any story anywhere about Lt. Saffo’s recent arrest on drunkdriving charges.

Lt. Saffo was picked up in the wee snowy hours of Sunday, February 13, after Essex Police responded to a mobile call from a motorist on Route 15. The caller had spotted a white sport utility vehicle with New Hampshire plates running the red lights just east of Camp Johnson, while bouncing off snowbanks and guardrails.

According to the police affidavit, it was INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

even Days has learned that Luke Albee, longtime chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, has tendered his resignation. Yes, indeed, all good things do come to an end.

In interviews conducted Tuesday, Mr. Albee didn’t sound happy about it. And neither did his boss.

That’s because what these two guys did in the Senate for more than a decade is like what Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers once did on Hollywood dance floors.

Luke, a UVM grad, has been with St. Patrick for 20 years. He will be departing the Leahy staff in April. Albee started out on Capitol Hill fresh out of college answering the senator’s mail. In fact, Luke beat out fellow young Vermonter Skip Vallee for the job. That’s right, the same dude known to readers today as Gasoline Vallee, our favorite Republican fundraiser. True story.

For the last 11 years, Cool Hand Luke has been keeping the Leahy ship steady and on course as chief.

Yours truly first got to know young Albee during the 1986 U.S. Senate race.

Vermont’s first and only Democratic senator had won two squeakers in 1974 and 1980.

In 1986, Big Bad Richard Snelling, former Republican governor and smartest man on Earth, was confident of sending Leahy the Lightweight into retirement.

As everybody knows, it didn’t work out the way King Richard planned. Leahy’s campaign manager that year came in from South Boston. Luke left the D.C. staff and came home to help Mary Beth Cahill get the true Vermont feel.

Quite simply, Leahy’s 1986 campaign team outplayed Snelling’s. They were always two jumps ahead. St. Patrick positively crushed Big Dick that November, winning 63 percent to Snelling’s 33 percent.

If only Leahy Campaign Manager Mary Beth Cahill had the same touch for John Kerry in 2004, eh?

If only she’d had a better candidate.

After the Snelling Massacre of 1986, the young and battle-scarred Mr. Albee returned to the Washington staff and became legislative director. Capitol Hill was his playground. He settled down, got married and started a family. In 1993, Luke was tapped to be Leahy’s chief of staff.

And what a ride it’s been!

With that Arkansas fellow in the White House, things were sure looking up. At least for awhile, eh?

Let’s just say Luke will never forget Bill Clinton and the giant media-sucking political war that erupted over the Presidential Pecker.

In spite of the Clinton-Monica media orgy, the impeachment battle launched over lies about semen stains, and the GOP takeover of the White House and both branches of Congress, Ol’ St. Pat has continued to effectively fight the good fight, and Ol’ Luke has been a key reason.

Let’s face it, the Vermont Republican Party hasn’t been able to find a credible candidate to challenge Leahy since 1992.

And the one they came up with that year only got within 11 points.

Hey, what ever happened to Jim Douglas, anyway?

Film Renews â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazyâ&#x20AC;? Debate There seems to be no end in sight to pop cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or shameless exploitation of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mental illness, especially where Vermonters are concerned. Following on the bruised heels of the Vermont Teddy Bear Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent marketing faux pas with its Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazy For Youâ&#x20AC;? bear, which came with commitment papers and a straitjacket, Hollywood has jumped back into the act. A new feature film from Warner Brothers, which opened nationwide last weekend, takes a few potshots at Vermonters, shell-shocked veterans and the mentally ill.

The Jacket is billed as a genre-bending, gothic sci-fi thriller about Jack Starks, a U.S. Marine Corps sergeant and Gulf War veteran who returns to his native Vermont with psychological problems. After suffering a bout of amnesia due to a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head, Starks, played by Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist), is accused of killing a cop and is committed to a mental institution. There, his equally off-kilter psychiatrist straps him into a straitjacket, pumps him full of mind-altering drugs, and locks him in a drawer in the basement morgue. This rather unconventional treatment sends the vet traveling back and forth through time in a race to find a woman who can help him clear his name before he gets killed.

When called last week, the folks at the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMIVermont) said they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen or even heard of the film yet. But they expressed concern that it will only reinforce myths and stereotypes about mental illness, particularly in Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to perpetuate the mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued use of straitjackets and other inappropriate forms of mental-health treatment,â&#x20AC;? noted Executive Director Jerry Goessel.

NAMIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;StigmaBusters Networkâ&#x20AC;? hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t issued an alert yet about the film, though in the past, the group has taken to task other negative depictions of mental illness by the media. In August, for example, the group objected to a press kit from Universal Orlando Theme Parks that featured a convulsing psych patient in a straitjacket who is â&#x20AC;&#x153;driven insaneâ&#x20AC;? by the theme parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halloween Horrorsâ&#x20AC;? event.

The lasting effects of The Jacket may be minimal, however. Despite the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notable star power, which also includes Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and producers George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, reviewers have called it exploitative, atrocious and inept. And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even filmed in the Green Mountain State.

Vermont’s “Little Italy”

authoritatively declares, “Vermont’s civil-union law is secure.”

But it goes on to encourage supporters to continue advocating for full marriage rights by working with the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force, which is still alive and well. VCU spokesperson Beth Robinson, one of the lawyers who argued the landmark Baker case that led to civil unions, says she won’t rule out any more lawsuits or trips to the legislature, though she doesn’t expect either of those situations to materialize anytime soon.

The new challenge is helping people to understand that the civil-union law, which was clearly a step forward in 2000, wasn’t the end of the line.

C-U Later How often does a political action committee dissolve because it actually gets what it wants?

That’s what happened to Vermonters for Civil Unions, the organization incorporated in 2000 to fund political candidates who supported the state’s groundbreaking civil-unions law.

Civil unions aren’t so groundbreaking anymore; now that Massachusetts lets gay and lesbian couples get married for real, our secondclass-citizen civil arrangement has become the moderate fall-back position in the same-sexmarriage debate.

BETH ROBINSON Though Vermonters booted some pro-civilunion politicians from statewide office in 2000, voters seem to have had a change of heart. In last November’s election, pro-civil-union candidates solidified their control of the legislature, and exit surveys showed 77 percent of Vermonters supported either gay marriage or civil unions.

Proponents of the law declared the backlash over. The Vermonters for Civil Unions website — http://www.vtcivilunionspac.org — now

Right now the group is focused on the “grassroots groundwork” — explaining to allies why it’s important to keep working for marriage.

“The new challenge,” she says, “is helping people to understand that the civil-union law, which was clearly a step forward in 2000, wasn’t the end of the line… We never felt then, and we don’t feel now, that that was the final step.”

Last Saturday, the University of Vermont hosted its Third Annual Translating Identities conference, a one-day academic exploration of gender identity that concluded with an address by renowned transgender activist and author Leslie Feinberg.

Dorothea Brauer, director of UVM’s Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Ally Services, said nearly 500 attendees came from all over New England; presenters came from as far as New Zealand.

Curiously absent were members of UVM’s Board of Trustees Diversity Committee — including committee chair Tom Little, a former Republican state senator who made waves for supporting civil unions way back when.

Brauer and the members of the school’s GLBTQA student group have beseeched the committee to add gender identity to UVM’s non-discrimination policy. The Committee has so far refused, though the Burlington School District has adopted such language.

Brauer said the trustees promised to educate themselves about trans issues, and points out that the TI Conference was a missed opportunity. She admitted she was “disappointed” by their absence.

“It’s not like folks didn’t have enough information to know what was going on,” she said. “I would hope that... they would take the time to learn about it.”

Air Force Base in Ohio also suggested spraying enemy positions with chemicals that would attract biting and stinging insects, rodents and larger animals.

Another tactic was giving enemy troops bad breath so they would stand out in a crowd and creating waves of fecal gas.

Although the Defense Department explained that the ideas were merely tossed about in what amounted to “a brainstorming session” and never got off the ground, the Sunshine Project, an advocacy group that obtained the 1994 Air Force proposal under the Freedom of Information Act, insisted that the plan was still under consideration as recently as 2001.

Putting the Fun in Funeral Last Friday afternoon, pallbearers carried a coffin through the snowy streets of Montpelier, but no one shed any tears. In fact, the two-dozen or so mourners could hardly suppress their smiles. It was only an empty cardboard coffin, after all, and it’s hard not to giggle when the person setting the march tempo is beating a bass drum while wearing a handmade bird suit, complete with a foot-tall, long-beaked mask.

The Second Vermont Republic staged this symbolic bit of street theater, a funeral for the first republic of Vermont (1777-1791, RIP). The group, which wants Vermont to secede from the United States, was acknowledging the day Vermont became a state, on March 4, 1791.

Prior to the march, an assembly of reporters, TV cameramen and onlookers gathered at the Langdon Street Café. They listened to music from bagpipers and a speech from a man dressed as Ethan Allen. A man calling himself Father O’Matchstick — wearing a top hat and a washboard around his neck — delivered a eulogy. After bidding farewell to the plucky independent nation that “kicked the sapbucket” 214 years ago, the padre delivered a benediction: “In the name of the flounder, and of the sunfish and of the holy mackerel…”

As the funeral march wound up the steps of the Statehouse, several cameramen scurried across the

snowy lawn to get a shot of the euphonium player, General Allen, and the avian drummer. Not a single reporter covered a similar event last summer that drew hundreds of people, but the 2004 election changed all that; since November, the Vermont secessionistas have been written up in a number of local papers, as well as by the Associated Press, The Nation and Salon. George W. Bush’s second term has been good for membership, too — 60 people have joined in the past four months, bringing membership to 160.

It’s hard to put a finger on what’s so compelling about this quixotic quest for independence.

Second Vermont Republic spokesperson Thomas Naylor insists that his group is dead serious about secession, but in the context of O’Matchstick’s blessing, that’s hard to swallow. If nothing else, their antics are entertaining.

Jennifer Boccin, a black-clad Goddard College student who followed the procession, said she thinks the movement is exciting partly because it’s a little dangerous, because it makes people question the legitimacy of the union. She said it encourages Vermonters to have pride in their state. “There’s a stronger sense of place and community here than in other parts of the country,” she noted. Which is really just another way of saying, “only in Vermont.”

Turning Point Turned Down Turns out the Turning Point Recovery Center of Chittenden County won’t be moving to Burlington’s Old North End after all — last week the Development Review Board unanimously rejected its

According to its mission statement, the nonprofit organization helps addicts and alcoholics “find, maintain and enhance their recovery experience through peer support, sober recreation and education-

al opportunities.” Turning Point had planned to move to 194 North Street.

Progressive City Counselors Tim Ashe, Philip Fiermonte and Cheryl McDonough all filed letters opposing the plan before a February 15 public hearing. Though some residents spoke in favor of the center, most opposed it. Before the hearing, several residents and city officials said they feared the project, which is funded by grants from the Health Department, would reinforce North Street’s reputation as “a dumping ground for social services.”

Kirsten Merriman Shapiro, the North Street Revitalization Coordinator, said the application was rejected because the DRB and Old North End residents felt that the proposed “sober club” did not fit with the city’s plans for the street. The preference is to bring in businesses to strengthen the tax base.

Shapiro says she hopes Turning Point can find another home in Burlington. “We’re going to work with them to try to find something that will work,” she said.

t’s a powder day at Sugarbush. Thick pillows of snow are piled up among the pine and birch glades, and showboaters are fluffing them with frosty precision. But the white stuff can’t muffle the shouts of glee that reverberate around the mountain — least of all the amped-up hollers of Ann Taylor. She tips her Dynastar skis down the off-ramp of the Super Bravo Express Quad, then races a snowboarding buddy down the Valley House Traverse, trash-talking the guy while double-poling for speed.

Passing her friend and hooking onto Spring Fling, Taylor takes a quick breath, then starts bouncing through the soft moguls, laughing and whooping all the way down the hill.

“Skiing is such a joyful experience,” says Taylor, a Burlington-based physical therapist and ski instructor. You’d never know the 53-year-old is “suffering” from stage IV, or advanced, metastatic breast cancer. “You just laugh; you’re like a little kid again and there’s so much joy there . . . We call it fun therapy.”

Taylor learned she had cancer in 1994. “It was like I was dead; it was extraordinarily scary and I was filled with doom and gloom,” she recalls.

Living in Salt Lake City at the time, she discovered that one option for treatment and recovery lay in the surrounding Wasatch Mountains.

During 14 weeks of chemotherapy, she says, “I just continued skiing, from 8000 to 11,000 feet at Snowbird.”

Taylor’s betting the same sort of outdoor therapy works next weekend at Sugarbush, which tops out at just 4083 feet, for participants in the area’s first-ever Adventures in Living.

Organized by Taylor along with fellow instructor and breast-cancer survivor Ashley Fischer and extreme skier John Egan, the event is open to

all cancer survivors and their friends and families. It combines the pure, on-snow fun of skiing or snowshoeing with “mindfulness” sessions led

by Shambhala Tibetan Buddhist teacher Sharon Keegan. There are organized conversations, too, about the stresses and successes of a life burdened with a cancer diagnosis. It’s one of several grass roots efforts around the state that aims to change the way people cope with the disease.

Nearly 10 years after Lance Armstrong started doing athletic battle with malignant tumors — detailed in his book, It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life — Vermonters are trying a similar, adventurous approach.

“Not everybody’s going to feel as good as I did,” says Fischer. She was astonished to find, after her 2003 diagnosis, that she still had energy to ski. “Too many people are told, ‘You’re going to be exhausted.’ Skiing, and running my dogs for agility, actually enhanced and helped my experience. They made me OK, and allowed me to say to myself, ‘You can have a normal life through all this.’”

No national studies have documented the benefits of adventure therapy for cancer patients and survivors. But researchers at the University of Toronto have confirmed that climbing mountains can help adolescents with cancer. Anecdotal evidence suggests the same may be true for adults. “People have discovered that the more active they get, the better they feel,” says Williston’s Richard Lewis, who works for the American Cancer Society. “The movement of healing through activity is fairly recent.”

Taylor takes a two-pronged approach to this activity — she inspires and helps others through the outdoors, and advocates for cancer

research and appropriate treatment.

In the summers, she runs sea-kayaking retreats for cancer survivors through the Rutland Regional Medical Center. Much of her time indoors is now devoted to writing up ideas for a survivorship workgroup funded by the Centers for Disease Control. “Advocacy is key,” she says.

“I’m probably not through with the cancer deal; I’m in an advanced group. But I’m going to beat the averages, because there’s nothing average about me. And once someone is stronger they can give back.”

Taylor expects about a dozen participants at the Sugarbush Adventures in Living weekend. If history is any indication, interest is likely to snowball. Manchester’s Casting for Recovery was founded in 1996 to provide fly-fishing retreats for breast cancer survivors. There are now 30 different camps throughout North America.

Organizers of the Stowe Weekend of Hope, meanwhile, are planning to host between 1500 and 2000 cancer survivors, patients and families from April 28 to May 1. Now in its fifth year, the event features free workshops, lectures and seminars with top oncologists and researchers, with free rooms at area hotels for first-timers and free rides on Amtrak’s Train of Hope. People come from as far south as Baltimore The freebies help draw hundreds, but by the weekend’s closing ceremonies, it’s a different kind of green that counts. “Being in Vermont in springtime has a very different feel than, say, being in a steel-mill town in the fall,” says Lewis. “This is a powerful time.” After three days of wandering the hills around Trapp Family Lodge, cycling Stowe’s bike path and snapping photos of cows, participants hang “flags of hope”

against the Green Mountain backdrop. It makes for a memorable image.

“It didn’t matter what cancer we were battling . . . we all shared in making that cancer insignificant in relation to who we each really are,” one past attendee wrote in a thankyou note to organizers. “We are not patients or caregivers or supports or loved-ones-left-behind so much as we are each unique souls with love to offer and wisdoms to share. How better could we have renewed that part of ourselves than to be in those poetic mountains of Stowe?”

Not everyone will feel well enough for outdoor pursuits. Some won’t live to see the next year, as event founder Dr. Patti O’Brien points out. A breastcancer survivor, she explains that some of the original volunteers have died from their cancers. But that reality doesn’t dampen her sense of renewal.

“Nature can be a powerful source of space and inspiration for people,” says O’Brien. She tapped into that power by planting an apple tree in her back yard each time her cancer treatments and tests left her feeling rotten; she now has a small orchard.

“Getting the diagnosis of cancer can be very disempowering,” she acknowledges. But “Stowe has been blessed with beauty we can use to remind ourselves that we can all heal and grow despite many challenges. Spring is a time of rebirth, and green is a color of hope.”

Taylor intends to prove that hope can also come in white. “It’s that empowerment process; that’s what the weekend is about,” she says of Adventures in Living. “Being heard, being able to support each other.

Within the context of support we share information, we empower each other, we have fun. It’s all those aspects in the discovery of the outdoors.” m

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

16A

Dear Cecil, I’ve often read that if you jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, you will accelerate to the point where hitting the water will be like hitting concrete. But my little brain keeps saying, “Yeah, but it’s WATER!” Could you jump off a bridge like the Golden Gate and contort your body in such a way that you’d survive?

Paul, Ann Arbor I’ve heard that if you jump off a tall enough building, you’ll pass out before you hit the ground due to falling so fast. My friend tells me this is not true. He argues that skydivers freefall and hit terminal velocity and are just fine. I told him that they haven’t fallen long enough. Can you help me prove him wrong?

Katie, Bellingham, Washington Of course not, numbskull. Your friend is right. Skydivers in free fall routinely reach terminal velocity, i.e., the speed at which air resistance and weight balance out and acceleration stops, which often exceeds 120 mph.

During a typical plunge they may drop 10,000 feet in 60 seconds, remaining conscious throughout. (The free-fall speed record, incidentally, is 614 mph, set in 1960 by Joseph Kittinger, who stepped out of a balloon gondola into the exceedingly thin air at 103,000 feet.)

Nonetheless the belief persists that anyone leaping or falling from a great height blacks out, has the breath sucked out of them, etc. Fact is, some pass out, but not all. We know this because — you knew we’d get around to your question eventually, Paul — people have in fact survived a leap off the Golden Gate Bridge, and staying alert is one reason they did.

Scientists have long been fascinated by what happens to people who fall from great heights without a parachute. Unsurprisingly, most of them get killed; perhaps surprisingly, a few don’t. A prime example of the latter was a 17-year-old male who in 1979 leaped off the

Golden Gate Bridge from a height of 250 feet.

According to one report, “He recount[ed] a slowing of time initially, and mid-fall, when fully realizing the oncoming impact, strove to adjust his attitude to the vertical feet-first position. An almost perfect entry was achieved. Although dazed, he swam to shore” and checked into a hospital, where his worst injury turned out to be several cracked vertebrae.

Walking away from something like that is rare. The Golden Gate Bridge is said to be the most popular suicide location in the world — at least 1200 people had jumped as of 2003, of whom fewer than 20 survived. A more typical outcome was that of a stuntman calling himself Kid Courage, who jumped off the bridge in 1980 trying to set a free-fall record. He landed flat on his back and was dead when pulled from the water with massive internal injuries.

The key to survival appears to be vertical entry. Your little brain is right, Paul — there’s a difference between landing on water and landing on concrete, namely you can’t dive into concrete. The 17-year-old male survivor said he may have touched bottom, perhaps 20 to 25 feet down — plenty of room to disperse the force of impact.

In contrast, Kid Courage’s body never sank beneath the surface, meaning he’d gone from 75 mph (a Golden Gate leaper’s peak speed) to zero in maybe six inches.

Beyond a certain point even Olympic form won’t save you. One expert claims the upper limit for surviving water entry is around 80 mph. Presumably it’s less if you’re hitting something solid. Still, the literature teems with spectacular exceptions: • In a 1942 paper, physiologist Hugh De Haven told of eight people who survived falls of 50 to 150 feet on dry land, many with only minor injuries. The common denominator: something to break the fall or soften the impact, such as loose dirt, the hood of a car, or, in one astonishing but verified case, an iron bar, metal screens, a skylight and a metal-lath ceiling.

• In 1963, U.S. Marine pilot Cliff Judkins’s chute didn’t open after he bailed out of his crippled fighter.

He fell 15,000 feet into the Pacific, suffered numerous broken bones and a collapsed lung, but lived.

• U.S. Army air force sergeant Alan Magee fell 20,000 feet from an exploding B-17 in 1943 and crashed through the skylight of a French train station. (A lesson emerges: Aim for the skylight.) Though his arm was shattered, he lived too.

• When his bomber was shot down in 1942, Soviet lieutenant I.M. Chisov fell 22,000 feet into a snowy ravine. He was badly injured but recovered.

• Luckiest of all was RAF flight sergeant Nicholas Alkemade, who leaped from his burning bomber in 1944 without a parachute at 18,000 feet. After a 90-second plunge, he crashed through tree branches in a pine forest and landed in 18 inches of snow. His only injuries: scratches, bruises, burns, and, in some accounts, a twisted knee.

Is there something you need to get straight? Cecil Adams can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic.

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

All About Eva

P “The Deadbeat Club” airs Fridays at 11:30 p.m. and Sundays at 9 p.m. on Channel 15.

Info, http:// www.chanz.tv/ DeadBeat Club.htm.

roducing, writing, editing and hosting a local cable television program can be a thankless, all-consuming enterprise. I know because I’ve done it: My half-hour movie-review show “The Good, The Bad & The Boffo!” was on the air for nearly 10 years. So I marvel perhaps more than most viewers when I happen across a really well done show on public access, as I did recently.

“The Deadbeat Club,” airing twice weekly on Channel 15, is the high-energy handiwork of the multitalented Eva Sollberger, 31. The show features her, her sister and her mother as well as her dog and cat. Sollberger addresses the camera, usually in her back yard, on a variety of topics relating to a monthly theme. Periodically this cuts away to dazzlingly outré video creations that incorporate everything from vintage cinema and cartoons to splashy musical dance numbers and photographs of obscure artists, all set to a bouncy assortment of thematically linked pop tunes.

“The Deadbeat Club” is not only funny, eclectic, brainy and original, but each episode is also a full 60 minutes long. Concerned that she might be hospitalized for exhaustion at any moment, I hurried to contact Sollberger and find out what makes her tick.

SEVEN DAYS: Eva, “The Deadbeat Club” is a riot. What makes you tick?

EVA SOLLBERGER: The act of creating. It is so easy to fall into a rut or get stuck doing things that don’t excite you. Working on an art project wakes me up to all the possibilities of life and the world.

SD: Where’d you get the idea for the program?

ES: When I moved to Vermont a year ago, I decided it was finally time to realize my longstanding dream of having a cable-access show. In California I was too busy hustling and bustling. Vermont seemed like the perfect place to realize my deadbeat dream.

SOPHIE QUEST, EVA SOLLBERGER AND MARGOT HARRISON

SD: You cover a lot of ground in the show, everything from high art to lowbrow entertainment. What are your influences?

ES: They are sort of all over the place, which is why I try to feature as many types of art as possible in the show. Films, TV, music, photography, painting and novels have all played a large part in my development as an artist. Growing up in a small Vermont town, movies, TV and novels opened up a whole new, exciting world to me.

SD: One of my favorite parts of your show are the lists you make. David Letterman could take a pointer or two. Your “Top Ten Celebrity Deadbeats” was hilarious. It’s not often that Baudelaire, Homer Simpson and Steve Buscemi get mentioned in the same breath. I think the best so far was your list of “Rules for the Tortured Artist”…

ES: Thanks!

The show is all about celebrating the weird inner workings of your head.

EVA SOLLBERGER

SD: Where does the title come from?

ES: The title was my sister’s idea. It comes from a song by The B-52s that was popular in the ’80s. It perfectly captures the delicious feeling of being a small-town, laid-back artistic loser going nowhere fast.

SD: What does the term “deadbeat” mean to you?

ES: The show is all about celebrating the weird inner workings of your head. It’s about accepting some of your more eccentric, oddball qualities and enjoying them instead of feeling like an outsider or reject. Typically, the word “deadbeat” has a negative connotation, but it is strangely empowering to just accept that side of yourself and move on. Viva la deadbeat!

“Tubefed” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Rick Kisonak, email kisonak@sevendaysvt.com.

SD: On a scale of 1 to 10, how tortured are you?

ES: I’m probably both a 2 (a very la di da, ho-hum, “look at the pretty flowers” kind of gal) and a fullon 11 (angsty, self-deprecating, dark and obsessed).

It is hard being an artist without feeling some torture. I think the two dance hand in hand.

SD: I must say, you do have a refreshingly dark side. I liked it when you dedicated your September episode, “The Love Show,” to the late James Dean and then went on to note that he was the one star who never sold out… What’s your philosophy of life, anyway?

ES: Life, hmm. I am pretty excited by life. I spend a lot of my time recording it and taking notes in a lame attempt to understand it. The drama and the unknown are part of what makes it so spectacular.

SD: Which do you believe to be the greater blight to humanity — reality TV or the Bush administration? You talk about both a lot in your show.

ES: Excellent question! We actually enjoy the naughtiness of reality TV. Bush and his cronies are a bit like a reality show, only a little too scary to make good television.

SD: The show makes it clear you’re fascinated by the phenomena of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson. Why those two so much more than, say, a prefab celeb such as Paris Hilton?

ES: Glad you asked! Paris is sort of like a paperdoll, vapid and 2D. She appears to be dead inside.

Ashlee and Jessica Simpson have a strange appeal that I hate to even examine too long. Perhaps it is the way they’ve managed to dominate MTV and the entire mass media with their shlocky music?

Ashlee’s belief that she is a true artist despite all the evidence to the contrary makes her a strangely fascinating character. Jessica’s ability to be herself without shame or artifice is something that draws one in against their better wishes.

SD: What’s it like to work with your sister and mother?

ES: The three of us haven’t lived in the same state for 20 years, so it is a really exciting experience for all of us to be together again. The show is a nice way for us to create something together.

SD: Where do you edit?

ES: On my home computer.

SD: You make very creative and subtle use of pop music in the video segments you direct.

Are you worried you’ll be sued?

ES: Terrified. Don’t tell!

SD: What do you see “The Deadbeat Club” doing for your career?

ES: I see the show as a great learning experience. It is a way for me to practice editing and creating. I doubt it will lead to anything career-wise, but stranger things have happened.

SD: Would you like to teach the world to sing? If not, what would you like to teach it?

ES: Yes, I think the world should be singing! If life were a musical, we would sing while we were washing dishes, grocery shopping or meeting someone in the street. Imagine the benefits to this crazy world on the brink — eradicate all the stress, road rage and simple rudeness. The world would be a happier, healthier place full of song! Maybe a dance number or two would be nice as well? A girl can dream. m

A CABBIE’S REAR VIEW

A Service Tradition

small, slender black woman and her teenage son sat talking softly in the back of the cab as we motored south on I-89. The pickings had been slim lately, so this fare to Norwich University was a welcome catch.

It’s odd how these out-of-town runs appear; I can go a couple of weeks without leaving Chittenden County, and then a bunch of long-distance fares crop up in succession.

“Yes, Mom,” the young man said. His voice carried the combination of exasperation and affection that marks a mother-son relationship, particularly as the boy is becoming a man. “I’ve got the transcripts. I told you — the folder’s tucked in with my laptop.”

“Has your son applied to Norwich?” I asked the woman over my shoulder.

“He sure has,” she replied. Glancing up at the rearview mirror, I noticed that a brilliant violet scarf was wrapped in a way that revealed not a wisp of hair. The head wrap accentuated the woman’s sharp but lovely features. “Tomorrow Robert has an interview. My goodness, I’m so nervous.”

“Well, I’m sure you don’t need to be,” I replied with a chuckle. “If they asked him to come up for a personal interview, they’re already seriously interested in him. Besides,

On his face was the most loving expression — it nearly broke my heart. he looks like a terrific kid.”

“That he is,” she said with a big smile.

“He’s my baby.” She stretched her arm around his brawny shoulder and leaned up to give him a big smooch on the cheek.

“Sheesh, Mom,” Robert said, shaking his head. He lifted a pair of tiny wire headphones from his neck and fitted the end pieces into his ears. The message couldn’t be clearer: No more mommy kisses!

“It just occurred to me,” the woman said. “I did visit Vermont once before. It had to be the early ’60s, when I was about 8 or 9.”

“Were you traveling with your family?”

“Yes, my dad was a big one for packing the family into the station wagon and exploring the country.” She gave a small laugh and reached up to adjust her scarf.

“That was my father, all right. ‘There’s a bigger world out there than Cincinnati,’ he’d say, ‘and this family’s gonna get out and see it.’”

“So you’re talking about the civil-rights era, the 1960s? That must have been an interesting time for an African-American family to be road-tripping around the country.”

“Oh, yeah,” she replied. “Particularly in the South.”

“Wow, I can’t even begin to imagine.”

“I’ll never forget one trip we made to visit an aunt and uncle in the Florida panhandle, I think it was Panama City. We were all tired and hungry and stopped for food somewhere in Georgia. It must have been quite far off the highway, which was a mistake to begin with.

“My parents knew there was essentially no chance of us being served a sit-down meal, so my father went in for some takeout. He came back moments later, the veins popping out of his neck. It seems they wouldn’t even let him order out in the dining room, only around the back at the delivery door. To this day, I can remember him slamming his door shut as we took off.

He said he was a soldier, a World War II vet, and ‘damned if he was going around the back of the building to buy food.’ My mother calmed him down eventually. I can’t recall where we ever did eat that day.”

We’d reached the Northfield exit and begun the precipitous 5-mile descent to hook up with Route 12. This has got to be one of the steepest paved roads in Vermont; near the bottom, a breakdown lane for runaway trucks runs up a sharp hill to the right.

What a lifesaver that could be, I think every time I pass by it, riding hard on the brakes.

“So where are you living now?” I asked.

“We’re still in Cincinnati, believe it or not.”

“You’re working down there?”

“I was until this year. I had pretty decent career as an x-ray technician. But I’ve had a brain tumor, and after the operations, I lost a lot of my short-term memory and had to give up the job.”

“Hey, Mom, check it out,” Robert said, suddenly springing to life. “This is it — Norwich University.”

“So it is,” his mom said, peering out at the campus buildings. “A military school.

You’re sure this is what you want to do, right?”

“Only since I’ve been, like, 10.”

“Just like your grandpa,” she said softly, almost more to herself.

A mile north of the campus we found the B&B where they’d be staying the night.

Robert carried the two heavier suitcases up to the front door and into the building, while his mother opened her bag to extract the money for the fare. When he came back three minutes later she was still looking for the envelope where she’d placed the cash earlier that morning.

“I’m so sorry to hold you up,” she said, as she fished around through one bag, then another. “I know I put it in here somewhere, I just can’t remember where.”

As another minute passed, I expected Robert to jump in and help her out. But he just stood by the door patiently, not saying a word. On his face was the most loving expression — it nearly broke my heart.

“Aha!” she said, pulling out a folded business envelope. “I knew it was in here. It just takes me a while these days.” She counted out the money, passed me the bills and said, “Thanks so much for the ride.”

“Hey, my pleasure,” I replied. “And good luck, Robert.”

“Thank you, sir,” he said. Then he smiled and put his arm gently around his mother’s waist, and the two of them turned and walked into the inn. 쩾 “Hackie” is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

2:50 a.m. when two Essex squad cars finally got Lt. Saffo to stop her SUV. The Vermont Guard spokesperson told the officer she’d had “one drink approximately two hours earlier.” However, according to Ofc. Robert Hall, Veronica was having difficulty standing and was not even aware that her front right tire was flat.

Lt. Saffo was taken to the police station, where her breath sample showed a blood alcohol level of .224 — almost three times the legal limit.

Despite refusing to be either fingerprinted or photographed as required, Lt. Saffo was released that morning on a citation.

According to the police affidavit, a friend picked her up.

Last Thursday, District Court Judge Ed Cashman ordered Saffo to report to the Essex Police within two weeks to be photographed and fingerprinted. A hearing on a civil suspension of her driver’s license is scheduled for March 23.

When first contacted on Monday, Assistant Adjutant Gen. Bill Noyes said he was not aware of any of his officers being arrested recently. When we mentioned Saffo’s name, he replied, “I might have heard something.”

On Tuesday morning Noyes read us a statement citing the Privacy Act as the reason the Vermont Guard would have no comment on Saffo’s DWI charge.

“Obviously, we take any allegations involving drinking and driving seriously,” he said. “However, since this issue is being dealt with in a civilian court, we will have no comment.”

Lt. Saffo was out of town Tuesday. She did not respond to a message left on her cell phone.

Irish Eyes — No smiles this St. Patrick’s Day, folks. Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams of Northern Ireland is not invited to the White House.

Instead, five family members of a Belfast Catholic man who had been murdered outside a bar by “republicans” will be received by President George W. Bush. The IRA has expelled three unnamed members in response to the killing and “suspended” seven others.

The IRA has also been accused by both British and Irish governments of the $50 million robbery of the Northern Bank in Belfast just before Christmas. However, no evidence has been produced.

From a distance, it’s been remarkable to watch how quickly the Fianna Fail government of Prime Minister Bertie Ahern in the Republic of Ireland has pounced on Gerry Adams and the Sinn Fein Party.

Given that Ahern has presided over one of Europe’s most corrupt governments for more than a decade, he must be thrilled to see Adams getting gored in the press on a daily basis instead of himself.

Ireland has been one of the Western world’s most rapidly changing societies in the last decade. It was once known as a Catholic country. Today only 10 percent of its Catholics go to church.

One Catholic we know who does go to church, Sen. Patrick Leahy, sounded a little upset about the current mess when we raised

the Gerry Adams issue Tuesday.

“Unfortunately,” said St. Patrick sharply, “Gerry is never able to say something in one word if he could use 500.”

Leahy was one of three senators who, as he reminded us, “stuck our necks out” in 1994 to get President Bill Clinton to grant Gerry Adams a visa to enter the U.S. Back then, peace was in the air.

And the IRA has maintained its self-imposed ceasefire. But everything fell apart last fall when Ulster Unionists demanded and did not receive what they considered sufficient proof of IRA weapons decommissioning.

Sen. Leahy told Inside Track he wanted “to talk to the parties first” before commenting further on the current imbroglio. “I think things could be a lot better,” he said.

Not good.

Media War — Politics and media. Media and politics. Like horse and carriage, you can’t have one without the other.

And a check of the online archives at Vermont’s TV news power, WCAX, shows some politicians doing a lot better than others.

Remember, in politics, exposure is job one.

For example, House Republican leader Peg Flory of Pittsford gets very high marks.

Princess Peg replaced Rep. Rick Hube as leader of the GOP caucus on January 18. Since then, she’s appeared about a dozen times with a speaking part in a Ch. 3 news broadcast.

Cool.

Her counterpart, House Democratic Leader Carolyn Partridge, could learn a few things from Flory. Rep. Partridge has appeared but once — that’s right, once — on the WCAX-TV news since the session started on January 3.

Ah, but the House Speaker is a Democrat, you say.

Well, rookie House Speaker Gaye Symington of Jericho is also no match for Peg Flory when it comes to getting the attention of the WCAX Statehouse news team.

It looks like Speaker Gaye has been on the Ch. 3 news with a speaking part 13 times. However, most of her appearances were oneline reactions to Gov. Douglas’ State of the State and Budget speeches in the early days of the session.

Since Peg Flory became Republican leader seven weeks ago, Speaker Gaye has been seen and heard in a WCAX news story just three times. Clearly, House Democrats could improve their media skills.

Perhaps they could take a page from the playbook of the top Democrat in the Vermont Senate: Peter Welch of Hartland. Seems Sen. Grape Juice is always on Ch. 3!

Of course, Welch has to pay for most of it. But, seriously folks, those commercials during the news that feature Sen. Welch as a caring lawyer with an 800 number, dedicated to getting injured people the money they deserve, does a lot for name recognition.

We’ll see if Partridge & Co. don’t have to resort to buying spots to break out of the Ch. 3 shadows.

Welcome, Bishop Sal! — The announcement came suddenly last Thursday. The Pope had found a replacement for Vermont’s Bishop Kenneth Angell.

The selection could not have offered more of a visual contrast.

The Bingo Bishop, after all, is a rather large fellow. Easy to see Ken Angell playing offensive tackle as a young man.

His replacement, however, looks suited for a career in the saddle at Saratoga.

Monsignor Salvatore R. Matano, all 5-foot-4 of him, will be elevated to bishop in April. He’ll officially take over running the Vermont diocese in August when Bishop Angell retires. A Rhode Island native, Sal the Jockey’s been working out of the Vatican Embassy in D.C. for the last four years.

That ought to tell you Vermont’s bishop-to-be ain’t no political novice. He’s also a generation behind Angell. Matano’s a baby boomer who was a seminarian in the ’60s, and a very bright one, too.

Matano studied theology in Rome and was ordained as a priest in St. Peter’s Basilica in 1971.

“While I don’t know intimately of Vermont,” said Matano, “I do know of Vermont because you are very prominent in the news.”

Vermont, he said, is known for its “progressive views.”

Hey, word travels fast, eh?

Given that only about 25 percent of Vermont Catholics attend Mass anymore, and that most of the current priest crop is eligible for Social Security, we asked Monsignor Sal if he felt like he was taking over a sinking ship.

“Is the ship sinking?” asked Rhode Island Sal. “Well, let’s say we have a few corks in a few holes.”

Always wondered what they did with the corks from the altar wine, didn’t you?

Without referring to the current shrinkage in parishioners and the never-ending criminal and civil court cases involving sexual misconduct by priests, Matano reminded us the Catholic Church has survived many difficulties.

“We’ve endured for an awful long time,” said Sal reflectively.

“It’s probably the oldest institution in Western civilization.”

Hmmm. We would have guessed bordellos.

“The ship will continue to sail,” said Matano, “and hopefully grow stronger.”

Well, if anyone can pull it off, this politically aware guy from Rhode Island just might be the ticket. One thing’s obvious: Vermont’s new bishop neither looks nor sounds anything like the bishop he is replacing.

Got a good feeling about Bishop Sal. m

Booking Agent UVM Special Collections Librarian Connell Gallagher turns up the volumes

A

row of computers is the first thing you see when you enter the University of Vermont’s Bailey-Howe Library. These days, old-fashioned book repositories have become just another place to hop online.

STORY But UVM Librarian Connell Gallagher, CATHY Director for Research Collections, encourRESMER ages students, faculty and staff — heck, anybody and everybody — to connect IMAGES with the bibliothèque on another level.

MATTHEW Namely, the basement.

THORSEN Gallagher oversees the Special Collections department, which is tucked into a corner on the library’s bottom floor. It’s open fewer hours than the rest of the library, and is separated from the rest of the building by walls of windows and a metal door. This isolated fiefdom — along with an annex building on East Avenue — houses the 70,000 items that make up UVM’s Vermont archives, as well as a variety of rare and unusual books. Few who frequent the library find their way down.

That isolation is unacceptable to Gallagher. The 60-year-old librarian — whose pale, owlish visage reflects a career spent underground — has logged nearly 35 years cataloging and improving the library’s special collections, and he wants the entire community to appreciate them. His ambassadorial efforts earned him a Distinguished Service Award from the New England Archivists in 2001. He prompts UVM professors to incorporate the collection into their classes, and invites students from schools all across Vermont to visit and check out the books themselves.

Not “check them out” literally — all viewing is limited to within the monitored reading room. But at UVM, you don’t have to be a graduate student or credentialed researcher to handle the collection.

Gallagher loves to see students actually turning the pages of rare, valuable books.

“I don’t just acquire stuff to put it on the shelf,” he says during a leisurely weekday tour. “If it just sits there and gathers dust,

SEVEN DAYS | march 09-16, 2005 | feature 23A

you’re missing the purpose, in my book.”

His mission is evident on a recent Monday morning, when students from a digital art class trickle into the reading room for an introduction to the “book arts” collection. Gallagher asks Jen Nelson, a UVM senior majoring in art education, if she’s visited before. She says it’s her first trip down. “That’s great,” he responds in a quiet but excited voice.

“You’re going to get a surprise.”

Gallagher instructs Nelson and her classmates to sign in and pull on a pair of disposable white gloves from a box. On a long table at one end of the room, he’s placed an assortment of limited edition, handmade artist books, each of which is worth between several hundred

heads and look inside. They see a series of pages cut to depict a wavy blue hole that shrinks as it recedes. Lines of a poem appear on the edges of each page.

“Who are you to talk of rigorous intellectual honesty?” it asks.

“You who use ink as an octopus does / ...you for whom words are a decoy and a disguise.”

“It’s like Christmas or something,” says one white-gloved female student.

During his talk a short while later, Gallagher explains that artists often create just a handful of these concept books. Chen made only 25 copies of Evidence of Compression, for example.

That’s why it sells for $1200.

Why, he asks rhetorically, would an artist spend so much time handcrafting dozens of copies of

If it just sits there and gathers dust, you’re missing the purpose, in my book.

CONNELL GALLAGHER

and a few thousand dollars.

Before he launches into his lecture, he invites the students to discover the books for themselves.

Most don’t look like books at all — they’re more like threedimensional sculptures.

Gallagher’s predecessor, John Buechler, began building the library’s fine-art book archive, and Gallagher has continued his work. It’s his real passion.

It’s easy to see why. Murmurs of surprise and delight are audible as the students explore these colorful objets d’art. One woman opens a silk-covered box containing a copy of Julia Chen’s Evidence of Compression. Inside, protected by a suede-lined cradle, is what appears to be a rock with a brass hinge on its side. It opens to reveal several circular lines of text descending into a crater containing two small, seed pod-shaped books. Someone lets out a muted “wow.”

At the other end of the table, a guy opens a copy of Octopus, another Chen creation. He spreads it accordion-style across the end of the table. The book has become a tunnel. To read it, the students must crane their

a book instead of painting a picture, or sculpting a statue? “You can sit down with a book,” he answers. “You can get close to it.”

A better question might be why librarians like Gallagher collect these specimens. He picks up another volume, this one by Buzz Specter. It contains 181 copies of the same page, torn so that when you open the book, only a tiny sliver of each page is visible, just enough so that all the pages, seen together, read like a page of unbroken text.

When it came in, he tells the students, “I heard rumors that they said, ‘Connie Gallagher has gone off the deep end. He paid $1000 for a book with all the pages torn out.’” He laughs off the criticism.

In an earlier interview, he explained the need for this obscure collection. “It’s not something you can really run into anywhere,” he observed. “I want Vermonters to be able to look at it . . . I like being able to show them something really beautiful, so when they leave they want to make something really beautiful.” >> 24A

Gallagher likes regular books, too — the kind with pages and a spine. His windowless office is full of them; plastic bags on the floor bulge with donations, random volumes crowd his desk.

He’s devoted his life to studying and preserving them.

Vermont. He became UVM’s Manuscript Librarian in August 1970.

The Special Collections department had only been established eight years earlier, after UVM’s library moved from Billings to Bailey-Howe. Prior to

Collections, he catalogued more than 100 of the University’s collections, including archival documents and personal papers.

He also worked to expand the library’s holdings, which already included prizes such as the papers of Vermont politician

Gallagher tells tales about diving through dumpsters and excavating burned buildings to salvage documents for posterity.

Gallagher grew up in Brooklyn, earned an English degree from Pace College and a Master’s in English from the University of Wisconsin, then worked as an archivist at the Wisconsin Historical Society before marrying and moving to

the move, most of the rare items had been inaccessible to the public. During his early years at UVM, Gallagher helped bring some of those materials to light.

In the 18 years between the time he arrived and when he was appointed Director for Research

and scholar George Perkins Marsh, and a rare cache of letters from writer Willa Cather. In 1990, he spent his sabbatical in Washington, D.C., locating and archiving the legislative papers of Vermont Senators Patrick Leahy and Robert Stafford.

When describing how he finds artifacts to add to his collection, Gallagher sounds like a rakish, daring Indiana Jones clone. He tells tales about diving through dumpsters and excavating burned buildings to salvage documents for posterity. For a time, he met monthly with a Burlington man he describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an old codger.â&#x20AC;? The man called him offering papers that belonged to his father, who helped establish the Long Trail and the Green Mountain Club.

The man would leave a box on the porch in anticipation of Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visits, open the door a crack, and peer out at him. Eventually, the mystery man let Gallagher into the house. Careful sorting through the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s papers yielded an invaluable set of letters and slides that shed light on the development of the Long Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of it was pure junk,â&#x20AC;? says Gallagher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you never know.â&#x20AC;?

He recalls another adventure, to retrieve the papers of former Vermont Governor and UVM President Thomas Salmon. Gallagher and Kevin Graffagnino â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the current director of the Vermont Historical Society, who was then the curator of UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont collection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drove to Salmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and carted boxes of papers out of a thirdfloor attic. The way Gallagher tells it, the day was hot and the stairs were steep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a hell of a job,â&#x20AC;? he recalls.

Graffagnino, nearly 20 years Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior, relates a version of events thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly different from his mentorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. He agrees it was hot up in the attic of the big Victorian house, but the way he remembers it, he

Love waits for no one… why should you?

did most of the lifting.

Gallagher spent most of his time downstairs schmoozing with Salmon’s wife.

“Connie is an extrovert,” says Graffagnino fondly. “He gets along well with everyone.

He breaks the librarian stereotype of a mousy person who would rather not see human beings in the flesh.” And Graffagnino’s not bitter about doing more than his share of the work that day. “Without the schmoozing,” he notes, “we wouldn’t have gotten the collection.”

Gallagher also uses his people skills to fundraise — to buy those artist books he’s so crazy about, he has to write grants and cultivate donors. It’s a major part of his job.

Vermont artist and bookmaker Claire Van Vliet is grateful for his efforts. The Newark resident, who often collaborates with writers such as Peter Schumann of Bread and Puppet Theater, praises Gallagher as “an ideal librarian.”

Van Vliet’s publishing house, Janus Press, will celebrate its 50th anniversary later this year. Gallagher is planning a January exhibit at the library, and will produce a published catalogue celebrating her

books. Van Vliet, who has perhaps garnered more fame nationally than in Vermont, will also have shows at the Grolier Club in New York City and the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. She notes that UVM is the only Vermont library that collects her books. “It certainly makes you feel like your community is interested in what you do, and that it’s accessible to the public at large . . . they might see something different there from what they’d see at Barnes & Noble.”

Gallagher is happy to provide that exposure. He looks forward to the day when Special Collections moves out of the basement and back to Billings, probably around 2008.

Unfortunately, he’ll probably be retired by then.

For now, he contents himself with coaxing visitors down the stairs. Last week he hosted a local Boy Scout troop. The kids were researching Burlington’s New North End, and he let them sneak a few peeks at the artist books. One of the boys was really impressed. “He asked me, ‘Is this your library?’” Gallagher recalls. “I said ‘yes.’ He said, ‘This is the coolest library ever.’” 쩾

RAZING the BARS

BILL KEOGH

Is Bill Keogh trying to dry up Burlington’s late-night watering holes? story: Ken Picard

NANCY CUNHA

It’s a bone-chilling Tuesday night on Church Street, but inside Burlington City Hall, Nancy Cunha is feeling the heat. Cunha, who owns Manhattan Pizza & Pub, waits anxiously for the City Council, acting in its role as the Local Control Commission, to decide whether to suspend her liquor license for 48 hours. The proposed penalty, which stems from an October incident in which a patron was allegedly served too much alcohol, would effectively shut down her business during Mardi Gras, when some 20,000 revelers descend on downtown.

For 11 years, Cunha has operated the pub and pizza parlor on the corner of Church and Main, which on weekend nights is the most bustling intersection in Vermont. This was her first liquor license violation. According to the police report, an intoxicated man was arrested down the street at Superior Court Plaza for threatening pedestrians with a broken pool cue. He told officers he’d been drinking at Manhattan Pizza, then walked out with their pool cue.

The man, whose blood-alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit, was admitted overnight to a detox unit.

He later testified that he was also on antidepressants at the time and couldn’t remember where he’d been drinking or where the pool cue came from; Cunha insists that none of her pool cues went missing that night. But despite some fuzzy facts and Manhattan Pizza’s otherwise clean record, the license committee recommended the two-day shutdown.

Cunha doesn’t have to wait long for the verdict. Councilor Bill Keogh (D–Ward 5), who chairs the three-person License Committee, moves to deny Cunha’s attorney’s request to stay the suspension pending an appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court. Keogh’s motion is seconded and the council unanimously agrees. The entire proceeding takes five minutes.

Afterwards, Cunha is furious.

“Mardi Gras is our busiest weekend of the year,” she says. “It’s what pulls us out of debt for the whole winter. And Keogh knows that.”

Two days later, the Vermont Supreme Court grants the temporary stay and Manhattan Pizza is back in business for Mardi Gras. But the whole affair leaves Cunha angry, frustrated and financially strapped. “I’ve just gone through a virtual witch hunt that’s going to cost me nine grand,” she says.

“Bill Keogh has a vendetta against downtown.”

Other downtown restaurant and bar owners share that view of the License Committee chairman. Though few are willing to say so on the record, the prevailing sentiment is that a handful of city councilors, and Keogh in particular, would rather see Burlington roll up its sidewalks at 11 p.m. Bar owners’ snipes about Keogh and the License Committee are nothing new. For years, Keogh butted heads with Jack O’Brien, the pugnacious former owner of Red Square, who was repeatedly cited for liquor and fire-code violations.

Lately, however, the chorus of com-

plaints has spread to other business people in the hospitality industry.

Currently, there are 88 places in downtown Burlington to get a meal and/or a drink. On the Flynn block alone, which has the highest density of bars in Vermont, more than 1000 people can be drinking alcohol at any given time.

But many of the owners say that when it comes to granting entertainment permits and overseeing liquor sales, the License Committee paints all establishments with the same brush.

They find this attitude particularly frustrating because in the last year, the hospitality industry has made a concerted effort to clean up its act. Last May, the Church Street Marketplace Commission helped launch the Hospitality Resource Panel, bringing together various downtown stakeholders to tackle issues such as excessive

noise, underage drinking, vandalism and late-night rowdiness.

Not surprisingly, most restaurant and tavern owners are uneasy about publicly voicing their dissatisfaction with the License Committee, fearing retribution when their liquor licenses come up for renewal. Several express a fear of becoming “the next Jack O’Brien.”

“All of us feel intimidated because it’s our livelihood,” explains Al Gobeille, the owner of Breakwaters, Shanty on the Shore, Burlington Bay Market & Café, and Lake Champlain Cruises. Gobeille chairs the Vermont Lodging and Restaurant Association, and has nine liquor licenses in Burlington. “If you’re a builder, you don’t fight with the building inspector if you want to be a builder for very long. And if you’re a bar owner, you

don’t fight with the liquor commission.”

Nevertheless, many downtown proprietors are equally concerned that Burlington is earning a reputation for being inhospitable to its hospitality industry, a sector that now employs about 2100 people, or 10 percent of the city’s workforce. Some people suggest it’s why Higher Ground didn’t move to Burlington, even though co-owner Alex Crothers is also part owner of the former Sh-Na-Na’s building on Main Street. (Crothers says only that the decision to locate in South Burlington was based on a number of considerations.)

Deserved or not, Burlington’s neo-prohibitionist reputation is having an impact. “It’s affecting Mardi Gras, it’s affecting Jazz

Festival, it’s affecting our livemusic scene and the sale of businesses,” says one Church Street restaurateur. “[Keogh] wants all the fun to end when the sun goes down.”

Like many of his fellow restaurant owners, Gobeille was incensed when he heard that Keogh nearly pushed through some major changes to the liquor-license requirements without holding public hearings or seeking input from the business community. The proposed conditions, which were brought to the City Council February 7, included a provision that restaurants couldn’t earn more than 30 to 35 percent of their gross revenues from alcohol sales.

Another provision would require food establishments “maintain complete restaurant services” whenever they serve alcohol, effectively forcing them to keep their kitchen staffs on duty until closing time.

Yet another change would mandate that all licensees “maintain a clear, unobstructed view of all areas of the premises . . . where alcohol will be sold or consumed.”

That condition raised a host of logistical dilemmas for establishments with private dining rooms, balconies, patios and pool rooms, and even room service at the Wyndham Hotel. The requirement would have forced bar owners to make costly renovations or risk a citation.

The City Council voted to send the provisions back to committee for further review. At the License Committee’s next meeting on February 17, bar and restaurant owners showed up in force to express their outrage, not just with the new rules but with the entire process.

“I have a wife and three kids who depend on my income, and

Go see what downtown is like at 2 o’clock in the morning on a warm June, July or August night. All those people out there that have been drinking for two or three hours? It’s scary. It’s scary !

BILL KEOGH employees that I cherish,” Gobeille told the committee. “With the stroke of a pen you can hurt a business, and that can never be done in a vacuum or behind closed doors.”

Greg Noonan, owner of Vermont Pub & Brewery, was equally disgusted. “I think this whole thing, very honestly, was very poorly crafted,” he said at the meeting. “And the way this whole thing was done was very irresponsible.”

License Committee member Barbara Perry (I–Ward 6) later admitted that the proposed changes were only supposed to be a communication to the council and should never have been brought to a vote. “That was inappropriate,” she says. “The business community was very upset, and

they had a right to be.”

Keogh, who didn’t attend the February 17 committee meeting, now says the more controversial measures will likely be scrapped.

“What we tried to do — and it kind of backfired on us — is explain to licensees what some of the regulations are,” Keogh says.

“We probably went too far.”

Keogh rejects the charge that he and his committee paint all bar owners with the same brush.

“That’s not true,” he says. “But we have to come up with rules and regulations that apply to everybody, including those who want to push the envelope.” Then he adds, “Go see what downtown is like at 2 o’clock in the morning on a warm June, July or August night.

All those people out there that have been drinking for two or

three hours? It’s scary. It’s scary!”

The folks in the hospitality industry say remarks like that, and this recent episode with City Council, are indicative of the underlying problem: The city’s License Committee, which wields enormous power and influence over bars and restaurants, is chaired by a city councilor who finds the late-night bar scene inherently distasteful. And that fuels an adversarial environment whenever licensees go before the committee to renew their liquor licenses, change their hours of operation, apply for an outdoor entertainment permit, or sell their businesses.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a builder, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight with the building inspector if you want to be a builder for very long. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bar owner, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight with the liquor commission.

Works, across the street from City Hall Park. They asked the License Committee to allow them to put six tables on the sidewalk and serve drinks outdoors until 11 p.m. Wine Works has been in business for six years and never been cited for a license violation.

The Shahadys got the OK from every other city agency, including Planning and Zoning, Public Works and the fire and police departments.

But the License Committee dragged its feet for four months and refused to bring the matter to a vote, according to Shahady. Each time he went before the committee, a new condition was added, he says, including one that Melissa personally notify every resident on the block of their intentions to serve drinks outdoors.

Shahady spent about $550 on the process, including the cost of adding the city to his insurance policy to cover the sidewalk in front of his business. By the time the License Committee acted on his application, the weather had turned cold, effectively making the request moot.

Keogh, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a city councilor for nine years and has chaired the License Committee for the last six, categorically denies that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opponent of the Burlington nightlife.

By and large, he says, Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurants and bars are well managed; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the few â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad applesâ&#x20AC;? who spoil it for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have maybe 10 bars that cause all the

problems, not the 95 others that are no problem at all,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when we draft regulations, we have to do it for the 10 that are always looking for a loophole.â&#x20AC;?

One â&#x20AC;&#x153;loopholeâ&#x20AC;? Keogh objects to allows restaurants to turn into bars after 11 p.m. Under state law, proprietors apply for either a restaurant or a cabaret license, depending upon whether their primary source of revenue will be food or alcohol, and whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer live entertainment.

The Local Control Commission recommends to the Vermont Department of Liquor Control (DLC) which type of license should be issued based on several factors, including how close the establishment is to residential neighborhoods, its proposed hours of operation and its seating capacity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having people who come in for a restaurant license that later morphs into a bar,â&#x20AC;?

Keogh explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They convince all of us that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be nice, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have adults and a little live music. Six months later, the college kids are in there until 2 a.m. raising hell and having a good time.â&#x20AC;?

Keogh says his committee intends to crack down on such places, either by not renewing their liquor licenses or by scaling back the hours when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed to serve booze. Although he admits that such a move would only affect â&#x20AC;&#x153;maybe threeâ&#x20AC;? downtown establishments, he says it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;send out a messageâ&#x20AC;? to other restaurant owners that they

shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;push the envelope to the edge or off the edge.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That could happen in the next couple of months,â&#x20AC;? Keogh adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they renew their licenses for April 1, we can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Restaurant license? No way! And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a residential neighborhood and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to give you a cabaret license.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Tim Halvorson, owner of Halvorsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upstreet CafĂŠ and chairman of the Church Street Marketplace Commission, says that attitude overlooks a desirable characteristic of the downtown scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burlington, and Church Street in particular, is blessed with a bunch of amorphous operations that are restaurants and bars in combination, and serve an adult population in a very positive way,â&#x20AC;?

Halvorson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But [some councilors] donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the fact that sometimes when you go into Leunigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Sweetwaters it feels more like a bar, and sometimes you go into RĂ­ RĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and it feels more like a restaurant. They feel like they got bamboozled.â&#x20AC;?

Moreover, the city already has noise ordinances, and the state has laws about over-service, underage drinking and overcrowding. Many business owners canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving this â&#x20AC;&#x153;get-tough-onbarsâ&#x20AC;? attitude, especially when, by most measures, things in downtown are getting better.

Burlington Deputy Police Chief Walt Decker notes that in recent years, the downtown area has seen a steady decline in the number of disturbances, arrests and individuals taken to detox. He attributes

What can be done to create a more cooperative climate?

One promising solution now in the works is the Hospitality Resource Panel (HRP), a committee made up of various downtown stakeholders, including representatives from the hospitality industry, area residents, public safety agencies, and the city’s economic development office.

HRP panels have been successful in 26 other cities around the country. In May, Mayor Peter Clavelle appointed an HRP steering committee to address late-night noise and outdoor entertainment.

The HRP has been slow out of the gate. Nancy Wood, executive director of the Burlington Business Association, hopes the HRP will be used to address a number of business concerns, such as streamlining the licensing process for establishments that have sold alcohol for years without incident.

Councilor Perry agrees that the HRP may be effective. However, she also points out that sometimes the License Committee has good reason to move cautiously before approving a new liquor license. Sometimes, she says, the only opportunity the city has to change an existing business is when it’s sold. “Every time we’ve gone too fast we’ve regretted it,” Perry says. “Folks need to understand that a liquor license is an important piece of paper and an important responsibility.”

For his part, Keogh is cautiously optimistic about the HRP and hopes it will relieve the License Committee of many of the timeconsuming tasks involved in overseeing downtown. “We have a better group of bar and restaurant owners now than we’ve had in 10 years,” Keogh says. “With the HRP, I think we can work this all out together, I really do. Whether I’m on this committee another year or not, I think we’re moving in the right direction.”

Does that mean Keogh is planning to leave his position as License Committee chairman?

He says he hopes this will be his last year. That’ll be music to the ears of many bar owners. m

this trend to improved education and training of bar staffs, increased cooperation between the police and club owners and, most importantly, proprietors “taking ownership” of their patrons and policing themselves.

Decker says the key to addressing alcohol-related problems such as over-service, underage drinking, patrons’ misconduct and drunk driving is “responsible property owners and responsible business management.” In part, that means bar managers who are willing to call the police before a minor incident escalates. But a number of club owners admit privately that they’re often reluctant to call 911, since it’s widely believed that the License Committee uses those police calls against them when reviewing their license renewals.

Keogh denies the charge. “We do not take that into consideration whether or not the license is going to be renewed,” he insists. “They’re encouraged to call the cops.”

Councilor Perry says, however, that when the License Committee debated how to penalize Manhattan Pizza, they considered the fact that the police had been called to the corner in front of that establishment more than 40 times in the last year. She adds that the License Committee uses those incidents as an opportunity to “create some positive conditions to work with the police department to see why problems are happening and see how to make them better.”

Perry also emphasizes, though, that the committee doesn’t look to deny liquor licenses or dole out harsh punishments. In fact, she says, the city is more lenient than the DLC when it recommends penalties for license infractions. “We love our bars and restaurants,” Perry says. “I don’t want to give up the vibrancy of downtown. I’m often down there after the Flynn having a 12 o’clock meal. It’s fantastic. We just have to find a way to keep some of this outdoor entertainment quieter.”

efore I commence to praise — no, rave about — Burlington writer Marc Estrin’s new novel, The Education of Arnold Hitler, I need to confess that I’m a bit intimidated by the assignment, both his and mine.

I don’t write fiction, and I’m amazed at the mixture of erudition, imagination and sureness of purpose that went into the creation of a work as sharp and enticing as this.

Estrin’s official biography describes him as “a writer, cellist and activist living in Burlington, Vermont.” He’s a member of the Vermont Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the author of Rehearsing With Gods (“an examination of The Bread & Puppet Theater”) and a highly praised first novel, Insect Dreams — The Half Life of Gregor Samsa (Blue Hen Publishing, 2002). The latter is a riff, or extended meditation, on The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka’s hair-raising tale of “a man turned inexplicably into vermin,” as Estrin explains in an online interview, “alienated from all others.”

“Most people don’t like cockroaches,” Estrin remarks; “others are equally wary of Kafka. I love both.” On publication, Insect Dreams won such critical accolades as to send any writer’s head spinning (“Brilliant . . . compelling . . . arresting . . . strikingly original . . . wrenching, funny, learned and, at times, poetic”). I confess I’ve had to tear myself away from reading it in order to get this review finished on time.

About now, I’d read the phone book if it were written by Marc Estrin, and I can “critique” The Education of Arnold Hitler only with my eyes wide open with won-

der.

Before I gush any further, some introduction is in order. The “Arnold Hitler” of Estrin’s title is not, repeat, not related in any way to “the” Hitler, the uniquely evil master of the Third Reich. All they share is a surname and initials, the central conceit of Estrin’s tale. Arnold is a boy from Mansfield, Texas, a suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth. Blond, handsome, strong, Aryan, a football star and future Harvard graduate, his “earliest detailed memory is of being held above a crowd by his father,” George, to watch the burning of a cross on the lawn of Mansfield High. It is 1956, the era of court-ordered desegregation, and, as Arnold overhears, “Three niggers think they’re gonna register this morning.” In fact, they don’t; their path is blocked by a phalanx of Mansfield’s roused and racist white citizenry.

“Three niggers,” Arnold repeats aloud.

“Don’t say ‘nigger,’” his mother replies.

So Arnold says it to himself: “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” It is his first confrontation with the symbolic and finally arbitrary meaning and usage of words. This is mightily confusing to a boy with a sensitive mind, who thinks too much, broods a lot and cries easily.

“He said ‘nigger,’” Arnold protests to his father. “Why can’t I say ‘nigger’?”

“Different people talk differently,” George Hitler explains. “We don’t say ‘nigger’ in this family. We say ‘Negro’.” For Arnold, this is no solution. And he will find, later on, that the name “Hitler” carries its own power, regardless of his own,

One who “talks differently” in Mansfield, Texas, is Arnold’s mother Anna, an Italian native.

She met his father when George, fighting the Nazis in Ferrara at the end of World War II, tossed a hand grenade through the window of what might have been a synagogue — the building had a Star of David on the door — and blew off one of Anna’s legs before subsequently saving her life. The Hitlers’ unlikely romance is at first uncomplicated, either by George’s surname or the fact that Anna’s father is Jewish. In small-town Texas, they live like anyone else.

Mansfield is racist in only a stupid, unthinking way. As Estrin makes clear, it’s a town where the only real crime is “agitation,” “stirring things up.”

George Andrew Hitler, Estrin writes, born in 1924, grew up at a time when it was fine to be so named. Until the age of nine, his last name was neither here nor there — just another moniker, that of his own father, Tom. From nine to eighteen, the homonym was noticed by only a minority of North Texans whose newspaper reading went beyond the sports page, the funnies, the local letters and obits. And for them it was Adolf Hitler, if anyone, who seemed the imposter, some German politician who had made off with George’s good name.

But for Arnold it will become a torture — an existential agony that gives Estrin room to roam the whole map of 20th-century political, philosophical, metaphysical, religious, historical and linguistic concerns. In an early conversation with his mother, the course of Arnold’s life and preoccupations is defined and revealed: “Why is a fox called a fox?” he asked.

“It’s called a fox just in English.

In Italy, it’s called un volpe.”

“But it’s a fox? The same fox?”

“It’s the same fox, but it has a different name.”

“How can it have a different name if it’s the same?”

“I don’t know. It just does.

Italians call things differently than Americans.”

He began to cry.

After Arnold badly burns his hand at the age of 4, Anna, in an effort to distract him, says that “if he would put his left knee to his mouth” he can speak directly to “Nonno Jacobo,” his Jewish grandfather in Italy, who, she insists, “would feel a tickling in his left knee, and put his ear to it and listen, and he would be able to hear Arnold.”

Sure enough, it works. Even Anna, who knows about legs, is mystified: “This was a little uncanny.” But with this deft, unforced touch of magic realism, Estrin gives Arnold a friend and a mentor, whose voice will guide him, instruct him, soothe him, counsel him and confound him for years to come.

“Names are important,” Jacobo advises. “Words are important . . . Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” And another time: “Your life, Arnold, consider your life. The Jewish God is a god of onward — and onward is you. ... Anything you do can be a channel to God — or it can be a wall.”

To talk too much about the actual story of Arnold’s adventures would be a disservice to both author and reader. As a teenager, Arnold becomes an expert on the Kennedy assassination as a well as a football star.

He finds a girlfriend and gets to “third base.” After high school, he heads to Harvard, where no one will room with him on account of his name; where he struggles with the protests and violent unrest of the Vietnam

era, meets Noam Chomsky and Leonard Bernstein; debates becoming a “full-fledged” Jew; is approached for enlistment in a proto-fascist student organization; has an affair with a female professor; falls in love with Bernstein’s daughter; confronts the fury of nascent feminism; and emerges, so he thinks, no wiser than before.

“He seemed more bent and less handsome than he had been,” Estrin observes. “There was a new tremor in his hand.

His eyes were deeper in his skull.

His mind was a question mark, walking.” After Harvard, it’s New York, no job, no friends, no money, strangers in the park and a stint on the Bowery, before Arnold meets an artist called Evelyn Brown. “Evelyn” being a diminutive for the original woman, “Eve,” or, in German, “Eva” — a point that Estrin does not belabor and leaves his readers to discern. The whole of the book is told in the same style of understatement, inference, suggestion and wonderment, at the same time never pausing at the expense of narration. The Education of Arnold Hitler is not just a book for the mind, but for the soul, the heart and pleasure.

If I have a quibble with Estrin’s novel — and I feel like an amateur saying so — it’s that the women in the story all tend to be and sound exactly the same. All of them are bright as hell; all of them know their own minds and speak to Arnold in tones of instruction and exasperated affection.

FROM THE EDUCATION OF ARNOLD HITLER: The Book of Questions — its very title spoke of Arnold’s being, its fragmented contents of the state to which his soul had been refracted. Jabès’s imaginary rabbis seemed to direct their questions and commentaries directly into the uncomfortable space he occupied: they echoed painfully off its walls and pressured their way to higher volumes and temperatures. It was Jewish writing . . . stubbornly assailing the unsayable with paradox and contradiction. The book was impossible to read in the ordinary sense — traversing blocks of consequential meaning. To read it so was to be defeated.

Rather, one had to fill the lawless spaces with unstable, enigmatic meanings in this story of fragments and gaps, an account, beyond communication, ‘of a love destroyed by men and by words.’”

epression-era folk music has long fascinated Vermont guitar legend Paul Asbell. As a child, he thrilled at exploring his folksinging father’s collection of antique 78 records, and developed a lifelong connection STORY to bygone styles. On his critically acclaimed CASEY 2000 release, Steel String Americana, Asbell REA wove various musical traditions into a vibrant, organic tapestry. Its upcoming IMAGE sequel, Roots and Branches: Further MATTHEW Adventures in Steel String Americana, adds a THORSEN few new threads. Featuring Delta blues, British Isles folk, reconfigured piano rolls Paul Asbell and even a Leonard Bernstein composition, presents Roots Roots is every bit as remarkable as its predeand Branches, cessor. A CD release party takes place this Further Sunday at the FlynnSpace in Burlington.

Adventures in Steel String Now 56, Asbell grew up in the Chicago Americana, area, where he paid his dues as a sideman for FlynnSpace, such blues greats as Otis Rush, Junior Wells Burlington, and John Lee Hooker, to name a few. On March 13, the legendary LP The London Howlin’ Wolf 7:30 p.m.

Sessions, the guitarist rubbed shoulders with Eric Clapton and members of The Rolling Stones.

Seeking a “spiritual battery recharge,” he moved to the Green Mountains in 1971.

The Windy City’s loss was Vermont’s gain — as a member of Kilimanjaro and Big Joe Burrell’s Unknown Blues Band, Asbell delighted audiences throughout the Northeast with cool blues and white-hot jazz. He’s also taught fretboard maneuvers to some pretty formidable players, including six-string superstar Trey Anastasio.

Although Asbell has played on countless albums, Roots and Branches is only his second solo release. Seven Days recently chatted with the guitar maestro about several of the 14 cuts on the new disc, and what it’s like to be alone in the spotlight.

“NEEDED TIME/ JESUS ON THE MAINLINE” (Traditional) SD: Both of these songs are Southern spirituals. How did you come across them?

PA: I’m a real big gospel music fan. I’ve been into it since my dad took me to churches on the South Side of Chicago, which is where I used to live. I didn’t really know what I was hearing then; I just knew I liked it in some way. It was only much later that I heard recordings of people like Blind Willie Johnson playing slide guitar and singing. It took awhile before I realized that these were the same songs, because those versions aren’t at all like a church choir. They’re both true folk songs that got treated very differently over decades, cultures and geography.

“AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’” (H. Brooks/A. Razaf/T. Waller) SD: It must be tough transposing a Fats Waller piano tune to guitar. Is the challenge part of the fun?

PA: Yeah, the challenge is fun. But once you’ve got the moves, the important part is to do it with grace. I’ve gotten myself to the point where I can pull the tune off, but the real challenge is to do it every time, and to make sure I don’t get sloppy on it. This is part of the reason of doing solo stuff. For a while, I was really daunted by the idea of going onstage and saying, “Oh, I guess you’re here to see me.” You’re in the middle of a tune, you look around and, hey, there’s no one else here! But it’s a way of keeping yourself honest. If you’re gonna establish a benchmark for yourself, this will do it. You just hope you’re up for the task. And I do ask myself that!

“CHUNKY MONKEY GUMBO” (P. Asbell)

“PARKER’S MOOD” (C. Parker)

SEVEN DAYS: You wrote this tune for Ben & Jerry’s. Were you inspired by the ice cream flavor itself, or was there another muse?

PAUL ASBELL: It was really just the vibe that the ad campaign needed to have. My take on it was sort of a “rough-hewn” Americana approach — the kind of guitar playing that still has some bark on it, you know what I mean? It’s not based on anything specific, but I think it evokes familiarity. There are certain kinds of ragtime chord progressions that we’ve come to feel have an ease about them, a laziness. What’s kind of ironic, of course, is that you can’t be lazy and play it!

SD: You play this one with a Delta blues feel in spots, but Charlie Parker is not commonly associated with that style. What’s the link?

PA: There’s a bit of “what if ” to a lot of these tunes. What if two people who are keenly associated with a style of music hooked up or cross-pollinated one another’s musical notions? In this case, what if Robert Johnson and Charlie Parker did that? I have an odd background in that I play music that’s related to Robert Johnson and other Mississippi stylists, but I have also, unusually, played a lot of bebop. And there’s not a lot of perceived crossover there. But looking at musical history, some of these “what ifs”

aren’t that far-fetched. I mean, Robert Johnson probably learned as much from copying records as he did by watching Son House.

And he was very future-oriented in his playing. There’s no doubt he would’ve played an electric guitar, as soon as he could have gotten his hands on one. And he may have — we just don’t know. When the music itself takes me to places where certain things seem plausible, I start thinking, “Hmm. I bet I’m not the first person to try that.” It’s like a reverse-engineering of musical history.

“SOMEWHERE” (L. Bernstein) SD: This one’s from “West Side Story,” which mixed ethnic and folk styles in symphonic composition. What’s your take on the piece?

PA: On my first record, I did a piece from Porgy and Bess, which I heard as a kid, that just haunted me. It occurred to me that a lot of composers have tried to ennoble American roots stuff with a certain amount of technique, to bring out its inherent beauty.

People have been doing that for a long time. There’s a big tent that I try to create, under which a lot of American music can be played on this one instrument. West Side Story was just my next thought along these lines.

“SAINT BRENDAN’S FAIR ISLE/ST. ANNE’S REEL” (Traditional) SD: These are both British Isles folk numbers. How did this music affect American roots styles?

PA: Well, that’s really where so much Appalachian music began.

That area in particular was settled by a lot of British Isles folks, but I suspect that they had an ambivalence towards everything from their old world. On one hand, they really wanted to define themselves as Americans, and Americans should have their own music.

On the other, it’s like food. You grew up eating a certain food, and it’s kind of hard to completely throw it aside. There’s a certain darkness in a lot of the themes — kind of an apocalyptic flavor in the Christianity that got inherited.

That style eventually became blended with bluesy, African expressions. Now it’s big, so to speak. Gillian Welch does that kind of stuff, and it’s great.

“THE WATER IS WIDE” (Traditional) SD: You first heard your dad sing this number as a child.

Do you recall your impressions?

PA: I just thought it was a pretty tune, I didn’t know anything

about it. I probably started hearing it when I was about half a year old! My dad was a professional musician when I was a kid. He played with Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Leadbelly. He was part of the lefty folk, pro-labor movement. Through him, I inherited a sense of the meaning of the word “folk” that had very little to do with Peter, Paul & Mary.

“MYSTERY TRAIN” (H. Parker/S. Phillips) SD: Elvis once cut this for Sun Records. Was his version, or early rock ’n’ roll, an influence?

PA: My dad had this one as a 45, and I’m sure his friends thought, “Bernie, what are you doing? Elvis Presley? Have you gone nuts?”

When I was a kid, I liked a couple of early Elvis things, but some stuff I thought was corny. I’d been listening to a lot of Woody Guthrie at the time, but when I found this in my dad’s collection, I played it and thought, “It’s kind of cool, actually, not like all that silly stuff on the radio.” Elvis’ version set a path for a certain amount of American electric music — drawing from country and blues, and kind of making a third way out of it. And there’s something about trains that’s so quintessentially American, you know? m

LABEL MATES

PAIRING OFF Burlington’s ephemeral alt-rockers Carrigan have gone through several incarnations since coming together in 1999.

Originally a duo composed of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Zach Martin and bass whiz Jebson Interlandi, the band soon expanded to include drummer Ken Johnson. At that point, their tunes were largely instrumental, à la Chicago postrock institutions Tortoise. Interlandi left the group after their debut release, and Carrigan adopted a more straight-ahead rock sound. Local guitar hero Daryl Rabidoux and reformed hardcore bassist Dave Barnett came aboard, but the lineup produced no official releases.

Now Carrigan is a two-piece again, with frontman Martin supported by Johnson, a keyboard and a variety of effects pedals. Performing last Wednesday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, with The Double and Ratatat, the duo showed that you don’t necessarily need a lot of musicians to make a big noise.

There’s still plenty of ambient sound in the band’s new tunes, but Johnson’s powerful drumming anchors the backwash to a steady, hypnotic pulse. Think John Bonham banging the skins for Kraut-rockers Can. A couple of songs even have a bluesy vibe — a bit surprising considering the band’s origins. Martin’s vocals are deliberately obscured; his eerie wails are treated as just another instrumental texture. His phrasing, particularly in the higher register, occasionally veers a little too close to Radiohead territory, though. Still, it’s always a treat to see him play guitar, keyboard bass, trigger samples and sing at the same time.

The band has been selling a new three-inch CD demo at shows, and promise that a new full-length is on its way. Let’s hope so — this version of Carrigan is easily as strong as any previous formation.

GIVE A LITTLE, GET A LOT

STEPHEN KIERNAN

The Committee on Temporary Shelter, or COTS, was formed in 1982 by community members and local organizations determined to do something about Burlington’s growing homeless population. The enterprise has grown to include two family shelters, a shelter for individuals and a day station. But the organization offers more than sanctuary from the streets. Health services, substance-abuse counseling and employment outreach programs are all part of the long-term solution to homelessness. All this good work takes capital, though, and the nonprofit relies on contributions from the community to keep its programs running. Still, it’s always nice to be entertained in exchange for your donations.

On Friday, March 11, at the FlynnSpace in Burlington, Vermont guitarist/songwriter Stephen Kiernan plays a benefit concert for COTS. His technically brilliant guitar work ranges from frenetic fingerpicking to gentle ballads. Incorporating blues, bluegrass, jazz and folk into a vibrantly dynamic sound, Kiernan’s mastery of six- and 12string styles is bound to impress. In addition to his moving originals, the guitarist has been known to tear through tunes by Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke and even J.S. Bach — how’s that for eclectic? The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the Flynn Center box office, online at http://www.flynncenter.org, or by calling 86-FLYNN.

Fattie B., a.k.a. Kyle Thompson, has long been a champion of local hip-hop.

With multiple releases under his belt, the MC and DJ is no stranger to music promotion. Now’s he’s partnering with production ace and rapper Nastee to build a Burlington-based “urban” record label. Called Legal Tender Records, the imprint will feature recordings from local and regional artists.

The duo definitely has cred, and they’ve managed to score some investment capital. “Some of the people I knew around here with a bit of money FATTIE B. felt that, between me and Nastee, it would be a pretty good thing to get involved in,” Fattie B. says. And, the local hip-hop community is pretty vital these days. “We knew there was a lot of talent around here,” he says. “There’s just so much going on.”

Beyond their microphone skills, the two will bring other talents to the enterprise. “Not many people know this, but Nastee’s production credits are pretty insane. He’s got the recording stuff on lock-down. And the graphics stuff I’ve got on lock-down,” declares Fattie.

In addition to releasing CDs and 12-inch vinyl, Legal Tender will promote its roster through college radio, the Internet and cable television ads, allowing the label to tap into markets beyond the Queen City. “We do great in Burlington, but an hour and a half away there’s Montréal and Plattsburgh — places that we haven’t even touched,” he says.

Special events and parties will also help get the word out, and a cable-access show is in the works. Still, the duo is taking it one step at a time. “Basically, our plan of attack is to do four to five releases a year,” the MC says. “We’re hoping that by putting out quality stuff, people will see the logo and think, ‘I know that’s probably all right.’”

SOUNDS FAMILIAR… Looking to catch some live music from groups you haven’t heard in a while? Well, on Saturday, March 12, you’ll have two chances. The tough part will be picking which show to see.

First up, part-time chanteuse, full-time mom and salon owner Peg Tassey brings her group The Kissing Circle to the Black Door Bar & Bistro in Montpelier at 9:30 p.m. Coming out of “retirement,” for one night only, Tassey will entertain the Capitol City crowd with her captivating, occasionally spooky torch songs. Special guests include Magic City vocalist Miriam Bernardo and 5 Seconds Expired drummer Gary Williams. Stepping away from the skins, Williams plays bass at this gig. If you want something to watch besides the band, Tassey pal Marc Awodey will be creating “live paintings” during the performance. “That’s a real treat, since he’s a bit of a recluse,” she says. Takes one to know one, Peg? Back in Burlington, Club Metronome hosts a rare appearance from world-music ensemble New Nile Orchestra in a 7 p.m. show. Though the band is still active on the festival circuit, it’s been a long time since they’ve hit local clubs. Featuring Ethiopian singer Kiflu Kidane, Burlington fusion guitarist Steve Blair and drum phenom Marcus Copening, New Nile are a polyrhythmic powerhouse. Time to flip a coin, maybe?

BIG MOUTH

:: The unique talents of Rahzel

defy classification. Based in hip-hop but capable of

much more, the performer makes highly nuanced music with just his mouth. Growing up in Queens gave him a crash course in hip-hop, while subsequent work with Philly genre-busters The Roots brought worldwide acclaim. Recent collaborations with eclectic pixie Bjork and shape-shifting avant-rocker Mike Patton further showcase Rahzel’s cutting-edge style. See the “human beatbox” this Thursday at the Pickle Barrel in Killington with DJ JS-One.

THE GRIFT, LIFE BEYOND ALUMINUM

FREEFALL, SQUARE ONE (Self-released, CD)

(GlennSource Records, CD)

As the spotlight on the jam-band scene grows dimmer, you have to wonder if bands like The Grift are the result or the cause of the genre’s waning popularity. At a time when many groups are striving for something new and different, The Grift have released their second studio album, Life Beyond Aluminum.

Unfortunately, it’s a derivative mélange of the worst aspects of the last 10 years in music.

Composed of four transplants now calling Vermont their home, The Grift aim for that good old, Strangefolk-style groove feel. Except they’ve left out most of the catchy hooks. Repetitive guitar strumming is partially hidden behind superfluous DJ scratching, resulting in a mismatched urban-folk collision.

Live bands have successfully brought in record cutters before, but it helps when the DJ does more than just scratch the word break back and forth.

Vocal harmonies are the highlight of the disc; for the most part the band’s smartly rhythmic singing complements the music. Of course, there are several exceptions, such as when they attempt to (gasp!) rap over their folksy melodies. With odes to living in West Addison, playing at UVM and claims that Route 22A is “better known as the deuce-deuce,” this is hip-hop for your grandmother to enjoy.

The main problem with Life Beyond Aluminum is that it never really takes off, energy-wise. Whatever dynamic these guys may have in their live performances somehow wasn’t captured in the studio. Lost girlfriends and self-indulgence are common lyrical themes, which drag the music into tepid ballad territory.

The disc starts off upbeat, but each track seems to be slower than the previous one. Things start to pick up again halfway through the cut “Vegas.” A gritty guitar hook is complemented by a welcome trumpet overlay, but the tune quickly falls back into the same lackadaisical haze.

The real con here — the true “grift” — is that the band has the balls to call itself a funk act. But the soul is probably at the bottom of their Birkenstocks. The Grift play at Nectar’s every Wednesday through the month of March, plowing through a different decade of cover tunes in each set. You can hear for yourself how their own music stands up to rock’s greatest hits.

ADAM KING

Burlington-based jazz-fusion unit Freefall have been playing together in one form or another for 15 years, but it’s been awhile since we’ve heard much from them. Many of the members have kept busy with other projects, but recently the whole group found time to finish Square One. Featuring the technically impressive and melodically inventive playing of guitarist Steve Blair, Freefall are heavy on musical muscle. Although chops are a major part of the group’s dynamic, the players avoid stepping on each other’s toes.

Keyboardist Andy Hildebrandt’s vamps combine flamboyance with economy, while drummer Gabe Jarrett’s clean, polyrhythmic shuffles demonstrate why he’s so in demand. Bassist Stacy Starkweather’s low-end work is busy but always spot-on. Adding another textural and melodic dimension is tenor/alto/soprano saxophonist Lee Gillies, whose sharp attack and impeccable solos make you wonder why he’s not in the latest touring incarnation of Steely Dan. But fusion is not for everyone. While heavy on solos, Freefall’s music is too complex for many jam-rock fans, and jazz purists might not approve of the band’s more progressive leanings. Still, Square One is a whip-smart and crafty release.

Hildebrandt’s “If I Were You, I’d Be Mad,” is fairly traditional in form. Kicking off with a moderate swing, the tune soon switches to doubletime, with the keyboardist taking a rhythmically savvy solo.

“Spiral Steps” features a sophisticated acoustic guitar intro by Blair, complemented by Gillies’ cascading sax lines. The two face off with short solos before coming together for several quicksilver runs.

Blair’s “Wacky” is just that, a samba-fied oddity that’s equal parts Discipline-era King Crimson and Warner Brothers cartoon soundtrack. The tune’s labyrinthine arrangement is dizzying; if anything shows off Freefall’s collaborative dexterity, it’s this cut.

Closing track “Mozambique” — another Blair composition — places bionic melodies in a propulsive, polyethnic rhythmic structure. Blair’s solos are fluid but lack a certain amount of soul. Likewise, Hildebrandt’s chordal stabs seem too mechanical for such an exotically named tune.

Freefall win big with their ensemble playing, though. They are among the tightest, and most telepathic, fusion bands I’ve heard — local or otherwise. Square One is a fine summation of the group’s daredevil musicality.

Still, with more than a dozen releases under their belts, the band is part of neo-jam history. After several years in Colorado, chief Sample Sean Kelley headed back to Vermont, where he first started writing tunes. The band bring their earnest, pop-influenced music to two local stages this week — Higher Ground Ballroom on Friday, and Pickle Barrel in Killington on Wednesday, March 16. Luke Eriksen & Johari Window kick off the South Burlington gig.

E EXHIBIT “The Emotional Landscape,” encaustic paintings by Earl C.C. Schofield III. Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington.

Through March.

ARTWORK “Red Marsh Pines”

PHOTO Marc Awodey

arl C.C. Shofield III’s show, “The Emotional Landscape,” currently at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery, is made up of 12 paintings that use a 2000-year-old medium. His encaustic works use a wax-based method developed during Hellenistic times in the Roman Empire. Among the earliest surviving encaustics are Egyptian funereal portraits painted on wood, and wall paintings excavated from the ashes of Pompeii. Shofield’s paintings are more about life than the afterlife. The zesty surfaces and lively hues of his “emotional landscapes” express more joy than angst — usually.

From Dublin, New Hampshire, Shofield portrays the world around him with equal measures of abstraction and realism.

His artist statement reveals: “I am most drawn to the formal aspects of painting, a sense of order in the composition on which I can impose loose brush work, arbitrary color, unique mark making, drips, tears, scratches, layers of translucent and opaque wax . . . all ‘chaotic’, expressive tools.”

“Red Marsh Pines” demonstrates exactly what Shofield means. Its bright white foreground is essentially an abstractexpressionist field painting, while bushy pines deeper in the picture plane are both “realistic” and rendered in gobs. His red is a brownish-red oxide laid out in staccato vertical brushstrokes.

“Red Marsh III” depicts the same place, but the painting has a higher horizon, with the tree line squeezed into the upper tenth of the canvas. Layers of translucent wax seem to cascade over the foreground.

“Lake View” may be that same watery location in a different season, without red weeds in the pond. Shofield’s landscape vistas are all 40 inches square, which is large-scale for encaustic works. He varies spaces in the paintings by adroitly adjusting horizons and brushwork.

“Call’s View” presents a more pastoral scene. A country road wends its way up a village hill, just as the maples are beginning to turn scarlet in early autumn. But that’s where the

sweetness ends. Shofield seems to have slashed lines into the wax and let dirty umber drips creep out of the heavens, adding tension to an otherwise peaceful New England country idyll.

Shofield’s four paintings of bugs and a frog are 15-inchsquare closeups of creatures that might be found near his neighborhood marshy pond. Rather than just calling the creatures by their names, he adds mythological edges to the titles.

Thus the frog work is “Hades/Wood Frog,” and the dragonfly is called “Mercury/Dragonfly.” The other two biomorphic paintings are “Mars/Big Red Bug” and “Venus/Bumblebee.”

The mythological add-ons seem a little pretentious, but they do obliquely refer to the Roman roots of encaustic. In any event, the paintings are great despite the curious titles.

“Venus/Bumblebee” captures the bee on a bright lilac blossom amidst a beautiful triadic harmony of green, yellow and mauve. It’s a photorealistic depiction, complete with a diffused background and shallow depth of field, as is common in nature photography. Of course, the paint surface is quite uncommon, and the insect works have smooth as well as diffused backgrounds.

Shofield goes to the opposite extreme in his “Black Sun Series.” Those two 36-inch-square paintings capture the sun seemingly clawing its way through tangled branches. They are painted in heavy wax impastos, thicker than in any of his other pieces. “Black Sun Series #2” has the sun at left, a yellow-white disk penetrating an orange-and-black forest of leafless trees.

“Black Sun Series #1” is a little more subdued: The sun is white with a few rays emanating from it, behind a forest of green leaves and gray tree trunks.

Ancient encaustic painters may have had a slightly tougher job than do modern ones — contemporary artists have the benefit of premixed commercial recipes, blow dryers, precisely heated spatulas and other blending tools. Nevertheless, encaustic remains a demanding medium. In Shofield’s hands, it’s an extremely versatile one. m

THINKING CHINESE

Chen Lushen, Zhang Wei-

Xing, Jia Ru, Ming Zou and Li Xubai don’t show their work in Vermont very often. But this year they are the featured artists at the Phoenix Gallery’s third annual “Return of the Spring” exhibition of contemporary Chinese art. In addition to paintings and calligraphic works, a Tibetan manuscript book and traditional Chinese brushes and inks are also on display. No communist-style social realism here; the only “Maoist” piece is Jia Ru’s “Chon-Mao” (pictured), with two panda bears snacking on bamboo.

Be Cool ★

Y MISSTEPPING OUT

Thurman and Travolta reunite, but the result is a far cry from Pulp Fiction.

ikes! How long has this thing been festering on some studio shelf? And why in God’s name didn’t MGM leave it there? Even by moronic, mercenary sequel standards, Be Cool is seriously sub-par stuff. In the follow-up to 1995’s Get Shorty, John Travolta reprises the role of former Miami loan shark Chili Palmer. Since we last saw him, Palmer has risen to semi-prominence in the movie business, grown restless and decided to try his hand in the music industry.

He lays out this game plan to a pal played by James Woods in what may be cinematic history’s most stilted and lifeless opening scene. The two drive around L.A. and then sip iced tea at a curbside café, exchanging dialogue so mundane that one is not distraught when mobsters appear out of the blue and cut the chitchat short by blowing Woods away.

It’s a sign of just how fake and slapped-together a film this is that neither Travolta nor the guy’s widow, played by Uma Thurman, give any indication of being distraught.

His ashes aren’t in an urn five minutes before Palmer is putting the moves on Thurman and trying to finagle a piece of the recording studio she and her late husband built together. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie character go so under-mourned.

As it turns out, Woods was $300,000 in debt at the time of his demise, a fact that doesn’t come to light until the rival label head to whom he owed the money comes to collect. Cedric the Entertainer costars as the owner of a hip-hop company. We know it’s a hip-hop company because everywhere he goes he’s accompanied by a gang of gun-toting, muscle-bound goons who travel in a motorcade of matching Hummers blasting the same hip-hop song every time they enter a scene. The big joke here is that CTE is, in fact, highly educated. He’s only affecting his gangsta persona. That’s this movie’s idea of humor.

When the fellow threatens Thurman with the hostile takeover of her business, Travolta, naturally, steps in and does his Chili Palmer thing: He bluffs the thugs into believing they’ll be paid by the end of the week and never breaks a sweat. For a second there, the character Travolta played 10 years ago seems about to come into focus. But

then we hear his master plan.

Step one is to take over the management of an aspiring young singer (Christina Milian). She’s under contract to an abusive boob (Vince Vaughn), a white man who also affects a gangsta persona. (The people who made this movie really like that joke.) Palmer informs the guy that the singer’s contract is henceforth null and void and, because he’s an abusive boob, the audience is expected to overlook this violation of Vaughn’s legitimate legal rights.

Step two is to strike it rich by making her an overnight star. What is this, a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney musical?

It’s another sign of just how fake and slapped-together the film is that this part of Palmer’s plan hinges on the pure coincidence that Aerosmith is playing in town that weekend, and Thurman’s character used to do their laundry way back when. The brainstorm: Wow Steven Tyler with the girl’s demo tape and convince him to let her open the show. As if opening acts aren’t hired well in advance of a concert. As if these two would be able to access someone like Tyler as easily as the movie suggests. As if a rock ’n’ roll icon like Tyler would be wowed by this kid’s singing — it’s strictly “American Idol” lite. As if opening one show makes you magically, suddenly rich.

I won’t reveal any more of the story except to add that The Rock and Danny DeVito are squandered in nothing roles and the great Harvey Keitel is reduced to mixing it up with Russian mobsters, one of whom continually loses his toupée. You know you’ve hit bottom when a script resorts to running rug gags.

We’re not supposed to mind the mess, though, since in the middle of the movie, completely unrelated to the plot, Travolta and Thurman hit the dance floor. Get it? Just like they did in Pulp Fiction! We may not be making movie history here, but we’re referring to it.

This little movie moment fails to slow the downward spiral. In fact, the film is filled with in jokes and references to better pictures, which its creators must have considered clever, and none of them help one bit. With a premise this preposterous and writing this lame, there was never any way this sequel was going to be cool. m

BOSNIA, AFTER EVERYTHING

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Going Home Again

I could have been one of those people if my path hadn’t gone another way.

AIDA SEHOVIC

Then, they woke up one morning to discover that their next-door neighbor, a Serb, was no longer talking to them. There were barricades. School closings.”

She came to the United States in 1997, by way of Turkey and Germany, through the refugee resettlement program. Last summer Sehovic returned to the Balkans with her American boyfriend, University of Vermont senior Gates Gooding, to shoot Bosnia, After Everything.

The 59-minute documentary, which had its first public screening two

weeks ago at UVM, examines the current reality for young people in the still-beleaguered country.

The couple spent six weeks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as one segment of the splintered nation is now called. But Banja Luka was off-limits.

“Technically I could go back to the region where I’m from, but it would still be really dangerous,” Sehovic notes.

Gooding, a Colorado native, is a geography major but studied at New York University’s film school in his sophomore year. During that time Sehovic attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She graduated UVM in 2002.

The idea for their cinematic collaboration came in the fall of 2003. “I did an independent study about Bosnia to prepare,” says Gooding, 22.

He funded the project with a $4000 UVM grant and private donations.

With a Panasonic digital video camera, they flew to Eastern Europe.

In her luggage, Sehovic was also schlepping 200 porcelain coffee cups, representing a small percentage of victims so far identified from a 1995 massacre in Srebrenica. On the ninth anniversary of the event she used the cups to create an installation, resembling a map of the country, in the dirt of a Sarajevo town square. Sehovic and Gooding chronicled that daylong effort in a short doc, For Those Who Aren’t Here.

The symbolism was significant. “In

Bosnian society, it’s considered very intimate and personal when someone invites you for coffee,” Sehovic says.

She was 15 when her family moved away, so the journey back was a revelation. They encountered a range of Bosnians — a cab driver, an artisan, an athlete, a former soldier who happens to be Sehovic’s cousin — willing to discuss their views of the future in a country plagued by bureaucracy, corruption, economic woes and continuing ethnic tensions.

Many of those interviewed envision immigrating elsewhere. One man pledges to stay because if he left, surviving the genocidal madness “would all be for nothing.” Neither option is easy.

In a traditionally patriarchal culture, the job market favors older men.

Consequently, there is a 50 percent unemployment rate among Bosnian youth. Drugs and alcohol are prevalent. Landmines dot the rural and urban terrain. Pessimism rules.

“I could have been one of those

people if my path hadn’t gone another way,” Sehovic observes. “Film is a powerful tool. I would never have had such conversations otherwise.”

“She was discovering her country along with me,” Gooding says.

They returned with 30 hours of footage — a tenth the amount typically shot for a documentary. “It was only in the editing process we began to think we had something valuable,” Sehovic says. They devoted five months to shaping the finished product, which was greeted with a standing ovation at its UVM premiere. The crowd included many local Bosnians.

“We’d like to show it at the Sarajevo Film Festival in August,” Gooding notes. There’s also a free screening at 5:40 p.m. on March 13 at the Roxy in downtown Burlington.

Meanwhile, Sehovic’s parents have to contend with more than 1000 coffee cups — the final tally used for her installation — that she has stored in their basement. They may still bear traces of Sarajevo soil. m

fickle fannie

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words.

But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

Lots of mail-order brides have a RUSSIAN ACCENT. A SILVER BULLET was used to whack werewolves.

A BRONZE DAGGER killed Cleopatra’s dermatologist.

Vegetarians crave PRIME MEATS in their off-moments.

Not many STAR REPORTERS work for The Star.

Winona found her engagement ring in a POUND CAKE. While in the clink, Martha developed an IRRITABLE COLON. A BLOODY SLASH was the calling card of Jack the Editor.

Just one more dollar can put you in a new TAX BRACKET. Pablo needed some Prozac during his BLUE PERIOD. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Mark my words.

W

hen Aida Sehovic’s family left Banja Luka in 1992, the bloody conflict that would soon devastate the former Yugoslavia had not yet reached them.

But their ethnically diverse city, about 85 miles northwest of Sarajevo, was already transformed. Her family was Muslim, and it was no longer safe for them to remain in their homeland.

“People thought the war would never get there,” explains Sehovic, now a 28-year-old Burlington artist and filmmaker. “Everyone was so intermarried. It all seemed beyond.

film 53A

< filmclips> SHORTS << 51A in his care of their vast inheritance. With Meryl Streep, Billy Connolly, Liam Aiken and, of course, Jude Law. (113 min, PG) MAN OF THE HOUSE★1/2 Stephen (Rock Star) Herek directs this fish-out-of-water comedy about a grizzled FBI agent assigned to protect a cheerleading squad from a lurking threat. Tommy Lee Jones stars. (97 min, PG-13) MEET THE FOCKERS★★★ As Ben Stiller’s daffy mom and dad, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand complicate premarital matters when in-laws are introduced to one another in this sequel to the 2000 hit. With Blythe Danner and Robert DeNiro. Directed by Jay Roach. (PG-13) MILLION DOLLAR BABY★★★★★ Clint Eastwood follows the highly acclaimed Mystic River with this highly acclaimed character study in which a down-on-hisluck trainer takes on a spunky young fighter and helps her rise through the ranks of women’s boxing. Starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. (137 min, PG-13) POOH’S HEFFALUMP MOVIE★★★ Brenda Blethyn, Jim Cummings and David Ogden Stiers lend their voices to the latest bigscreen outing based on A. A. Milne’s beloved children’s books. This time around, Pooh, Piglet and Tigger learn about acceptance and diversity with a little help from a much-feared monster.

(68 min, G) RACING STRIPES★★ Frankie Muniz Bruce Greenwood and Whoopie Goldberg are featured in the family-friendly saga of a zebra who longs for a chance to realize his inner Seabiscuit. Snoop Dogg and Jeff Foxworthy also star. (84 min, PG) SIDEWAYS★★★★1/2 Alex (About Schmidt) Payne directed and co-wrote this buzzhappy story about two old friends who take a wine-tasting road trip and assess their lives along the way.

This time around, the magical mask makes its way into the hands of a cartoonist’s newborn son. (86 min, PG) THE AVIATOR★★★ Howard Hughes was an innovator and a risk taker. So it’s ironic that Martin Scorsese’s screen portrait of him is the least audacious and adventurous movie he’s ever made. Leonardo DiCaprio does a captivating impression, but the script never quite brings its subject meaningfully to life. With Cate Blanchette, Alec Baldwin and, it goes without saying, Jude Law. (117 min, PG13)

CONSTANTINE★★1/2 Keanu Reeves stars in music-video director Francis Lawrence’s metaphysical thriller about a loner cursed with the ability to recognize devils in human disguise and condemned to spend his days sending them back where they came from.

Kevin James and Eva Mendes costar. Andy Tennant directs.

(115 min, PG-13) HOTEL RWANDA★★★★ Don Cheadle takes his career to a new level with his performance in this fact-based account of a hotel manager who risked his life to save large numbers of Tutsi people from massacre by the Hutus in 1994. Nick Nolte costars. Terry George directs. (111 min, PG-13) IN GOOD COMPANY★★★1/2 Writer-director Paul Weitz has come a long way since American Pie. First he surprised everybody with About a Boy. Now he’s back with a quirky, thoughtful comedy about a 50-year-old ad salesman who finds himself working for a new, 26-year-old boss who falls for his daughter, who’s just 18.

Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson star. (110 min, PG-13) KILL BILL VOLUME 1★★★1/2 Everyone’s Kung-Fu fighting in Quentin Tarantino’s blood-soaked saga of a one-time assassin (Uma Thurman) who vows to take revenge on the boss who tried to off her.

Costarring Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchette, Anjelica Houston and Willem Driver. (118 min, R) THE MERCHANT OF VENICE★★★ Al Pacino takes on the role of Shylock in Michael (Il Potino) Radford’s big-screen version of the Bard’s classic play. With Jeremy Irons and Joseph Fiennes. (138 min, R) THE PACIFIER★1/2 With his dramatic and action options dwindling by the minute, Vin Diesel resorts to comedy in director Adam Shankman’s laugher about a military-commando type whose latest mission calls for him to pull babysitting duty. With Faith Ford and Brad Garrett.

(91 min, PG) THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA★★ Joel Schumacher directs Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum in this adaptation of the popular musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

Amy Chavasse understands that intensive training in a physical discipline can make someone more confidently spontaneous. Wellversed in the techniques of ballet, world and contemporary dance, the choreographer and performer guides a group of students and faculty colleagues at Middlebury College. “She Never Walked the Same Way Twice” is a duet set to the music of Lou Reed, among others.

It examines relationship angst and cabinfever survival tactics. Chavasse goes solo for “Not Mistaken,” which she says is “inspired by the rhetoric and political maneuverings of several current public officials.” Wonder if there are any figure-eights involved.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@CONTACT IMPROVISATION JAM BURLINGTON CITY HALL AUDITORIUM, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1:30 P.M. People touched among themselves last weekend at Burlington’s Contois Auditorium. Not to mention bumped, leaned, nudged, rolled onto, over and under, and leapt onto backs and into arms. An orgy in City Hall? Not quite. This was the thoroughly wholesome Contact Improvisational Jam, organized by seasoned local contacters, including Kevin Nielson of Burlington. Contact improv is loosely considered dance, but there are no predetermined moves or steps. The configurations of bodies are limited only by the dancers’ imaginations. While no dance experience — or even dexterity — is required, it helps to be limber, uninhibited and willing to sustain a few bruises.

Vermont’s contact scene goes back about 20 years, Nielson said; this annual affair is its main event. The jam attracted some 50 participants from around the region. And it offered a lot of contact time: 25 hours from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.

While the majority of dancers were in their twenties, thirties or forties, the youngest looked about 3; the oldest, sixtysomething. Talk about “all-ages.”

Moving about the room in loose clothing and bare feet, the dancers at first seemed to carom aimlessly. When two or more bodies connected, the movement became more intentional and convoluted, albeit still spontaneous. Some looked momentarily joined at the head, shoulder or hip. Without music, the sound in the room was akin to a wrestling match, minus the grunting. Laughter erupted frequently.

Some movements attracted a crowd, probably because they looked like so much fun.

Such as when eight or so people lay side-by-side on the floor, and the person on the end “crowd-surfed” across the others. Rolling one at a time, the group resembled a human conveyor belt.

Most of the kids ran and tumbled around the way kids always do. But one little girl caught my eye: Six-year-old Emily Bushey seemed more experienced and daring. For the blond, pint-sized dancer, step-dad Shawn May was a one-man playground: She clambered to his shoulders, slid down his back, and clung to his waist as he swung her around, trusting that dad would catch her when she fell. Emily clearly “got” the meaning of contact, and seemed to enjoy the company of grown-ups who remember how to play.

WATER PRESSURE

Hydration is healthy and bottled water ubiquitous. But the costs of pre-packaged H2O go way beyond its retail price. Multinational corporations profit by sucking up and selling community aquifers; â&#x20AC;&#x153;springâ&#x20AC;? water standards are less rigorous than the requirements for city tap water; and many of those clear plastic containers, though recyclable, actually end up in landfills.

ART IS LONG

Too sentimental for the 20th-century avant-garde, French composer Olivier Messiaen collected birdsong for most of his life. Transcriptions of warblings are woven into his sensitive symphonies, which are marked by miniscule rhythmic variations. A deeply religious Catholic, Messiaen wrote his mammoth piano cycle Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jésus after spending a year in a Polish concentration camp. The piece is complex and lasts two hours, so it doesn’t get played very often. But pianist Steven Osborne has the spiritual, emotional and physical stamina to do it justice. The Scottish virtuoso recorded the work in 2002 to worldwide acclaim, and now offers a rare public performance.

STEVEN OSBORNE Friday, March 11, Concert Hall, Middlebury College Center for the Arts, 8 p.m. $12. Info, 443-6433.

IRISH AYES

When he first came to the U.S. from Ireland about 50 years ago, Tommy Makem tried to make it as an actor. Then someone handed him $30 for playing a few songs at a midnight concert, and he realized he’d reached the land of opportunity. Before long, the banjo-playing Makem joined forces with the Clancy Brothers, and the group toured worldwide on the crest of the burgeoning folk movement. Solo for several years but always busy performing and songwriting, Makem is now universally acknowledged as the godfather of Irish music. He gets listeners to sing along on rowdy songs, and — given his gift for gab between sets — a pint of Guinness says he’ll make ’em laugh, too.

MARCH 10-16

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Some freaks of nature, like four-leaf clovers, are considered good luck.

Others, like six-legged frogs, are omens that something is amiss. Then there are the prodigies that are a little scary because they’re so bizarrely extraordinary, even if they’re also signs of hope.

A few years back, for example, some Native Americans believed the birth of a white buffalo in Wisconsin heralded the healing of Grandmother Earth and the unification of the races. It’s quite possible, Aries, that you will soon have brushes with all three types of mutants.

To increase the likelihood that you’ll escape an encounter with the sixlegged frog variety, all you have to do is avoid indulging in negative thoughts about people.

son. Many long-time fans are rethinking their devotion to the sport. “The distressing thing is, my heroes are morons,” Vaughn Derderian told the Detroit Free Press. “And that’s a reflection on me.” I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, in the hope it will prod you into taking inventory of your own heroes, teachers, and role models.

Are they truly serving you? Is it possible they served you at one time but have become nostalgic artifacts of an earlier phase of your development? Could you make them work better for you if you were more analytical about their impact on you? Meditate on questions like these as you consider the possibility that you’re ready to go hunting for a fresh batch of inspiring influences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For over

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): One Christmas, I went to a Buddhist retreat center to hear Hindu prayers sung by world music pioneer Jai Uttal, who was raised in the Jewish faith. The all-embracing spirit of this event is what I urge you to cultivate in the coming days, Taurus. It’s time to erase boundaries and bulldoze pigeonholes; to expand your imagination as you welcome in the widest variety of influences you can summon. You’re ready to get so far out of the box that you can’t even see the box anymore.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Let’s add a new word to your vocabulary: veraison. It’s used by grape growers to define the explosive ripening their crop undergoes about a month before the harvest. Up to this point, the grapes are small and hard and pale. Then, within a few days, they get softer and sweeter as they darken in color and grow dramatically bigger. Even experienced viticulturalists don’t know when exactly veraison will occur. It happens fast and without warning. But I can pretty confidently predict that you’re about to enjoy the human version of veraison, Gemini. Happy ripening season!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): An intractable dispute between players and owners has caused the National Hockey League to cancel its entire sea-

two decades, Peter Jouvenal worked as a journalist and cameraman who filmed war-battered hotspots, including Iraq in the Gulf War and Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. Now he’s retired from that gig and owns a restaurant in Kabul. He has few regrets, but one came after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. While exploring the organization’s deserted safe houses, he happened upon a place where Osama bin Laden and his wife had lived. Among the items the couple left behind was one of her bras. In retrospect Jouvenal realized he should have pocketed the exotic piece of lingerie; a tabloid newspaper would have paid him a fortune for it. But because he had spent his entire career dealing with more respectable news media, the idea didn’t even occur to him at the time.

Remember this tale, Leo. Don’t overlook things that could prove valuable even though you wouldn’t normally think they were.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shortly after the year 1000, Icelandic Vikings made two sojourns in the land that’s now called North America.

During the second expedition, one of the brave explorers, Gudrid Thorbjarnardottir, gave birth to a son. Snorri Thorfinnsson became the first European born in the New World. I hereby appoint Snorri to be your patron saint in the coming weeks, Virgo. May he inspire you to beget a brainchild as you

acclimate yourself to living in a frontier.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Russian President Vladimir Putin says global warming might be a boon for his country because people “would spend less money on fur coats and other warm things.” Similarly, my meteorologist friend Kurt notes that as air pollution has grown worse, sunsets have become more spectacularly beautiful. I like to think that you will find comparable redemption from your recent crises, Libra. In fact, I will make this prediction: The metaphorical version of a toxic spill will somehow lead you to a magical elixir.

only use 10 percent of our brains. He dreamed up a brilliant experiment that involved 12 ferrets watching the movie, The Matrix. His research was so convincing that the prestigious journal Nature published it. He concluded that we actually use 80 percent of our available brainpower, though much of the activity takes place unconsciously. I predict your own efficiency will be even higher in the coming weeks, Capricorn, perhaps zooming above the 90 percent level. It might be time for you to try solving some of your most enduring mysteries. You’ll no doubt be able to come up with approaches as innovative as having ferrets watch The Matrix.

Wellness

(Jan. 20-Feb. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): AQUARIUS 18): Be very discriminating about how

“Many of us don’t change until we’re in crisis mode,” notes psychologist Robert Maurer, “until our mate leaves us or we lose our job. Once that moment comes we look for a big leap to get out of pain.” Unfortunately, big leaps under pressure usually don’t work. If you really want to change, you have to accomplish it little by little, and it’s best to begin long before you’re feeling miserable, scared or backed into a corner. I mention this, Scorpio, because it’s a perfect time to launch a step-by-step course correction that will ensure you won’t get pinched by a predicament in April. Start modifying your behavior and adjusting your attitude while you’re at the top of your game.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your metaphor for the week is a spork, the dining implement that combines the features of a spoon and a fork. It has a rounded basin to hold liquids as well as a few tines on the end to stab solid food. Like the spork, you should be versatile as you gather nourishment for body and soul.

On the one hand, you should be willing to make yourself a receptive vessel that can draw sustenance from ephemeral or mercurial stimuli; on the other hand you should be poised to aggressively snag more substantial fare.

you give and receive gifts, Aquarius.

Unless everyone’s motives are clear and impeccable, seeming acts of generosity could get distorted by hidden agendas.

Please know that I am by no means making a prediction that there will be trouble. It’s just that you must exercise even more than the usual amount of care to ensure that the bestowing of blessings doesn’t lead to unintended consequences. Did you hear about the two teenage girls in Colorado who got sued by a neighbor after they brought her a late-night surprise gift of freshly baked cookies?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): The hero of Haruki Murakami’s surrealistic novel, Kafka on the Shore, can cause schools of fish to fall like rain from the sky. I suspect that you might be able to do that yourself, Pisces. At least temporarily, you have uncanny abilities; I’m tempted to say that you actually possess magical powers. Be careful how you use your wizardry, please. Use it exclusively to perform good works. There’s no need to turn your adversaries into jack-inthe-boxes if you can simply make them less adversarial. You shouldn’t waste your talent on materializing $20 bills on the sidewalk when you can just as easily manifest an improvement in your working conditions.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I have had a wonderful relationship with “Marcia” for almost two years.

We have always had intimate discussions on topics I’ve never felt comfortable sharing before. Marcia has always been very open, with one glaring exception. Every day at around noon, we check in with each other on the phone. I’m at my office and Marcia is at hers — except for once a week, when she calls me from her car. Clearly, she’s keeping an appointment, but she won’t tell me what it is. When I’ve asked, she’s simply said, “I’ll tell you eventually.” I respect her privacy, but this secrecy is starting to undermine my trust. Should I a) give her an ultimatum, or b) start holding back some information of my own?

Curious in Corinth Dear Curious, The correct answer is c) neither of the above. Don’t resort to making threats or playing games. Explain your uneasiness to her exactly as you’ve expressed it to me. Then let her tell you why she feels the need to keep this part of her life private for now. My guess: You’ll feel less compelled to make her talk, and she’ll feel less compelled to keep mum.

Love, Lola

Hi. They call me Mischief, and I'm looking for my partner in crime! Actually, I'm a very sweet and shy 2-year-old female tuxedo cat. At times I feel a bit overwhelmed by all I've been through these last few weeks. I came to HSCC as a stray, and I am very happy to be inside where I am warm, fed, loved, and well cared for.

I would love to find a gentle and loving family with adults only or with kids 15 and up who will cherish me. Visit me today at HSCC - 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington.
