The Deadbeat Club

WATER WOES

The Champlain Water District changed its disinfectant on April 10 to chloramines [“Champlain Water District Switches Its Chemical Mix,” March 29], which are a combination of chlorine and ammonia.

My first chloraminated shower was not good. After showering I saw in the mirror that my eyes were quite bloodshot. When I got dressed and came downstairs they were really burning and tearing while feeling extremely dry — quite an odd sensation.

By then my nose had started running. These symptoms took about 36 hours to abate.

Since then, I keep shower water out of my eyes. The burning/tearing is somewhat improved. The runny nose has worsened, however, and I’ve started having sinus congestion.

My skin has become exceedingly dry from bathing in chloraminated water. Last week I began using spring water to wash my face. The tap water was burning my eyes and drying out my face.

My eyes still don’t feel right.

Even my 27-year-old wooden salad bowl is turning from a rich brown to dried-out dusty white as the oils appear to be sucked out of it.

I have noticed others in my neck of the woods complaining of burning eyes and skin, dry skin and skin rashes since the water was chloraminated. 3/7/06 3x6-Timberlane030806R

YouTube Bug-Eyed Fugly Frigid Man Troll (edited for length) I have been having an odd experience at YouTube.com.

At first, it was all fun and games. Within a couple of days of posting my first videos (mainly bits and pieces from The Deadbeat Club), Scott Westerfeld had watched our video review and plugged us on his blog.

As is the way of the internet, next came the “haters,” the “flamers,” and the “missing a sense of humor-ers.”

The comments became cruel and personal and they seemed to be centered around the Britney Spears and Green Day segments. I was skewered for being a “bugeyed, frigid man troll crack whore” (not necessarily in that order).

At first, I tried to explain myself to these little beasties: “Now look here you kids, I like Britney Spears music!

Like Spears, I myself have zits AND a double chin! I am lampooning her in the spirit of irony and comedy. I mean, don’t you little turds watch Talk Soup? Do you see any colors besides black and white? Does grey even exist in your world?...”

It was pointless, the hate mail continued... All this, and I am not even a popular YouTuber! They tend to have videos about magic tricks, camel toes, funny accidents, or girls who talk to their computer cameras in monotones. Yipes!

Several years ago at the museum there was an exhibit of Rodin’s work. It was overwhelming, but it gave an idea of his method of “modular” sculpture.

Some of the parts, especially the hands, were used on several pieces, and the process involving the foundry could change the proportions of these parts, making them more interchangeable.

THANKS, BERNIE

This year, the Republicans will pick up Vermont’s U.S. House seat, when Martha Rainville defeats Democratic Party establishment hack Peter Welch (otherwise known as Who? or, more specifically, Who Cares?). Why? Because Bernie’s election to the U.S. Senate is much more important than the effort to retake Congress from the Bushies and the corporations.

Bernie can do so much more in the Senate — hang out with

Hillary and set himself up for VP candidate in ’08; help to keep any radical element in the Democratic Party from gaining any leverage; become even richer and more connected; destroy the hopes of Americans nationwide that change is possible; and rubberstamp the next war with his Senate vote while denying it with his mouth.

It is truly appalling that for the sake of Bernieism, Vermont will show up in the red this November. Perhaps with a David

Zuckerman (or anybody with a dynamic) in the Welch/Rainville farce, Vermont could contribute to the weakening of the Bush administration, instead of strengthening it. But of course Bernie’s deal with the Dems and Progs this year was to focus on his election, not anybody else’s.

Certainly not what would be good for the country (or just plain good, as opposed to . . . you know).

So thanks, Bernie. Thanks for playing the establishment line when so much is at stake. People are dying; Vermonters are dying.

But what the hell, now you can be Vermont’s “mascot” in the United States Senate, and be on the news shows all the time blowing hot air and hypocrisy.

Thanks, Bernie — you gave Vermont a new bumper sticker and button. Thanks, Bernie, from the White House and the neo-cons and the Nazis and the corporations and the Christians.

Thanks a lot.

INTO THE WOOD

I found the article by Louis Porter, “Power to the People” [April 19] to be fairly complete and accurate, except for one very important issue.

His discussion on wood burning as a source of renewable energy is so incomplete that it calls into question the conclusion of

the entire article. He states that burning wood in the manner done at the McNeil Plant “presents environmental, health and financial challenges.” Well, so what? Every form of energy production creates challenges in these broad areas. The important point is that, in the case of wood, those challenges can all be addressed satisfactorily. I would challenge Mr. Porter to state otherwise.

More importantly, a fuller use of wood energy in Vermont could literally transform this state in dramatically positive ways. It would create thousands of new, good paying, mostly rural jobs (yes . . . thousands), a vast pool of locally retained capital, and the potential to substantially increase forest health and the total volume of forest biomass and forested acreage in the state . . . not to mention providing five to 10 times more energy than the 5 percent now contributed by the McNeil Plant. This is the kind of renewable energy contribution we so vitally need.

Sooner or later, an enlightened state government will come into power here in Vermont, and will recognize that Vermont’s trees are the greatest natural resource in this state and the one most underutilized. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

MONTPELIER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Global warming grabs more headlines than lead contamination, but the heavy metal actually poses a more imminent environmental health threat in Vermont. Lead poisoning sickens more than 300 Vermont children each year, and costs the state at least $80 million annually.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to a group of housing and medical professionals who addressed the House Human Services Committee at a lead poisoning hearing last Thursday at the Statehouse. Most of the eight who participated are members of a joint initiative by the Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and the Department of Health. The group, convened in January, is pushing legislators to revise Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-year-old lead law next session; they hope to offer draft legislation to the committee next fall.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also brainstorming ways to educate the public about the issue; the Burlington Lead Program, for example, is sponsoring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy Got Better,â&#x20AC;? a play about lead poisoning at Burlington High School this Thursday, May 4. The speakers lamented that most Vermonters lack basic information about how to prevent lead poisoning, despite public information campaigns, a law that spells out how to deal with lead contamination, and 100 years of science showing that ingesting lead is harmful.

Ingesting large quantities of lead â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either by eating it or by breathing in contaminated dust â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can cause convulsions or death. Even small doses in children have been linked to kidney damage, anemia, central nervous system disorders, and learning and behavior disorders such as ADHD. Children who ingest lead may not even show symptoms, but the toxin can reduce their IQs or impair their growth.

Lead poisoning can also increase the size of special-education programs and the number of people who rely on social services, or are sent to prison. One

national study cited at Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing showed that 37 percent of white male inmates have elevated blood lead levels.

The biggest health risks come from the lead that was used in gasoline and from lead paint.

Lead was removed from paint in 1978, but 70 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dwellings were built before that year. As that paint deteriorates or is improperly removed, it creates lead dust and contaminates the soil. According to Kevin Doering, environmental health chief at the DOH, lead levels around the drip lines of some Vermont houses exceed levels found at Superfund sites.

Annie Galloway, a South Burlington parent, spoke about lead contamination at the apartment on South Prospect Street in Burlington where she and her husband lived until recently with their 2-year-old daughter.

Although all lead paint had been removed from the inside, there was still some outside, and she often swept lead paint chips off the porch.

Last September, when Galloway saw her daughter Maitri put a paint chip in her mouth, she took the girl to the doctor, who measured her blood lead level at 12 micrograms per deciliter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers anything over 10 as dangerous.

A contractor who inspected the property explained that in addition to the paint chips, the family cat was probably also tracking lead dust into the house.

He recommended removing the lead paint and doing an extensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and expensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cleaning. The family chose to move instead.

Maitriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead levels have since declined, and Galloway said she seems to be fine. But her doctor visit was disturbing all the same.

The doctor said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Level 12 is not a concern; level 20 is when something needs to be done,â&#x20AC;?

Galloway reported. Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead law describes a child with level 20 as â&#x20AC;&#x153;severely lead poisoned.â&#x20AC;?

Jim McNamara, director of Lead Safe Bellows Falls, called Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead problem â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the best-kept secrets in the state.â&#x20AC;? He regularly quizzes education and health-care professionals about lead poisoning and prevention, with disappointing results. The average score is 60 out of a possible 100, McNamara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the professionals youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hope would know the most about this. The knowledge level is extremely low across the board.â&#x20AC;?

The ignorance extends to contractors and to many real estate agents and apartment owners, he added. When he was recently looking for an apartment, he was shown plenty that contained lead paint, and was â&#x20AC;&#x153;astonished by the things that were said to me,â&#x20AC;? he recalled.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead law requires rental property owners to inform tenants about lead paint hazards, and to use essential maintenance practices for dwellings that contain lead paint. But the law lacks any enforcement provisions to compel compliance. McNamaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group would like that to change.

They also recommended that the state institute mandatory lead testing for all 1- and 2-yearolds. Early intervention can ameliorate the damage caused by lead poisoning, but today just 75 percent of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-year-olds and 35 percent of 2-year-olds are tested. So while more than 300 Vermont children tested positive for lead levels higher than 10 last year, the actual number of leadpoisoned children is likely much higher.

The Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and Department of Health are also investigating how to pay for their recommendations. A massive education, testing and abatement campaign will be costly. Rental unit renovations alone could total a billion dollars.

But lead poisoning is preventable, and McNamara insisted that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lead-poisoned child today,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward in the future.â&#x20AC;? m

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mediators Granted Confidentiality Rights

“Eat Healthy!”

BY KEN PICARD

MONTPELIER — There was a time when most lawsuits, child-custody battles and property disputes between neighbors were resolved through the court system — usually a costly, time-consuming and painful process that, by its adversarial nature, creates winners and losers. Those days are becoming a thing of the past. Today, Vermont’s legal system increasingly relies on professional mediators, or neutral third parties who are trained in the art of alternative dispute resolution. This week, Governor Jim Douglas is scheduled to sign into law a bill that encourages the use of professional mediators by granting them new legal privileges to protect their clients’ confidentiality.

The Uniform Mediation Act spells out when professional mediators may refuse to disclose information revealed to them during a mediation session, and protects that information from being sought later in a court setting.

Only eight other states and the District of Columbia have granted mediators this legal protection, which is similar to the attorneyclient privilege. Advocates say the new law helps put Vermont at the forefront of the alternative dispute-resolution movement.

Most Vermont courts now require parties to try to resolve their differences through mediation before ever setting foot in a courtroom, explains Montpelier lawyer and mediator Emily Gould, who chairs the Vermont Bar Association’s alternative dispute resolution committee. Judges in family, environmental, probate

and small-claims courts often try mediation first because it saves time and money, eases pressures on an already overburdened legal system, and usually results in more satisfying outcomes for everyone involved.

Professional mediators typically ask their clients to sign an agreement that they will not disclose information discussed during mediation sessions. However, prior to this new law, attorneys and judges were under no legal obligation to recognize those contracts, and could subpoena mediators to testify about those communications.

“We know that confidentiality is part of the magic of why mediation works,” says Gould. “The fact that we were holding out for our clients the promise of confidentiality without really resting assured that we had the law of the state behind us was not a healthy state of affairs.”

The Uniform Mediation Act is an important improvement for a number of reasons, Gould explains.

First, Vermont had few statutes and minimal case law dealing with mediation. Moreover, she says, “There’s now a whole universe of mediation that’s happening outside the courts — in the workplace, in communities, in families,” where no clear-cut rules or legal framework exist. The “uniform” nature of the law also means that other states will generally recognize Vermont’s confidentiality protections, an important consideration in cases such as child-custody disputes.

“This is huge,” says Neal Rodar, a professional mediator and exec-

utive director of the Dispute Resolution Center at Woodbury College in Montpelier. Rodar says that he’s been subpoenaed, or threatened with subpoenas, more than any mediator he knows, and that detracts from the integrity of the process.

“To be honest, it’s scary sometimes,” Rodar says. “I’m not somebody who enjoys going to court and speaking in front of people . . . This is going to be a big help in legitimizing the process with the public as well.”

Both Gould and Rodar credit Seven Days for an August 2005 story on mediation, which helped bring this issue to the attention of Rep. Bill Lippert (D–Hinesburg), chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

“The fact that Bill Lippert could read your article and call up Neal [Rodar] and say, ‘How can I help?’ and nine months later we have our bill, that kind of thing can happen in Vermont,” says Gould.

The Uniform Mediation Act also spells out exceptions to the confidentiality rule, such as cases in which one party threatens violence against the other, or when the information is needed to prove or disprove allegations of child abuse or neglect. This provision was important to advocates of domestic-violence victims, who feared that the law might put some victims at risk of injury or shield batterers from prosecution.

However, under the new law, mediators can now recommend to a judge that a case is inappropriate for mediation, without having to disclose the reasons why. m

MAY DAY More than a million people nationwide took to the streets on Monday, May 1, to protest federal legislation that would crack down on illegal immigration. A march through downtown Burlington to the University of Vermont drew more than 200 demonstrators holding signs that read, “We are all immigrants” and “No human being is illegal.”

The marchers massed at Lawrence Barnes Elementary School on North Street — across the street from immigrant-owned African and Thai markets — to hear speeches from organizers and Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss.

Hugo Martinez Cazon, who came to the U.S. from Argentina, said he joined the march to draw attention to the plight of immigrants in Vermont. He noted that there are an estimated 2000 illegal immigrants employed on Vermont dairy farms. Given what dairy farms mean to Vermonters, “That’s a huge contribution,” he said. “That landscape tourists come to see is produced by immigrant work. If we work, we should be treated with equality and dignity.”

Middlebury College Changes Bulbs to Reduce Global Warming

MIDDLEBURY — Question: How many Middlebury College students does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Four, each of them wearing a green fluorescent jumpsuit. These and about 50 other student activists are actually changing a total of 2300 bulbs on the increasingly energy-efficient campus.

The four-member light brigade charged over to a dorm lounge one day last week to unscrew the standard incandescent bulbs in several reading lamps. Each was then replaced with a mercury-phosphorous bulb that uses two-thirds less energy and lasts 10 times longer than the old-fashioned variety.

The bulb exchange is part of a campaign by the student environmental club to save energy at the college and thus reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that are starting to overheat the planet.

“It’s a very simple way to do a lot,” says Middlebury sophomore Bobby Levine, organizer of the bulb replacement drive. “With 2300 kids all making a small change, it adds up to a big change.”

It could also add up to an outlandish piece of sculpture. Levine and friends are considering building a campus monument of some sort with all the incandescent bulbs they’ve collected.

It was Levine who arranged to outfit his fellow eco-activists with the jumpsuits that glow brilliantly in the springtime sunshine.

They’re another way of generating attention for an effort that has already involved visits to each of the 1200 dorm rooms on campus.

Almost every occupant complies when asked to install a super-efficient compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), says first-year student Corinne Almquist, one of the switchers in action last week.

College administrators agreed to split the roughly $9000 cost of the bulb replacement operation with Efficiency Vermont, a statewide utility that promotes energy-saving initiatives. The school was pleased to ante up its

share because the CFL switchover is projected to save Middlebury $11,000 a year in energy expenditures.

Each CFL costs about $4, but will last for about 10,000 hours.

Sophomore Bonnie Hemphill, another member of the jumpsuit set, says the CFLs in her parents’ North Carolina home haven’t needed to be changed once in the eight years since they were installed.

The campaigners point out that CFLs do need to be recycled when they finally burn out because of their mercury content.

It’s that element, in combination with the phosphorous coating, which enables the bulbs to direct

energy primarily to light rather than to heat — the opposite of what occurs with energy-wasting incandescent bulbs.

Efficiency Vermont plans to sponsor a competition next October to encourage every college in the state to replicate Middlebury’s achievement. If fully successful, the statewide effort will result in 14 fewer tons of carbon dioxide being released into Earth’s atmosphere, says Indu, an Efficiency Vermont project manager who goes by a single name.

Efficiency Vermont finances its operations through a percentagebased surcharge on the bill of every electric ratepayer in the state.

Middlebury may meanwhile move on to more ambitious conservation undertakings in the fall.

The student environmental club is discussing a plan to make the college “carbon-neutral,” meaning it

11:32:10 AM

The foursome replacing bulbs last week have put their beliefs into personal practice. None of them had a car on campus; they rely instead on the town’s extensive public bus system. And all four say they never turned the heat on at all in their dorm rooms this past winter.

It’s easy to go green at Middlebury, says sophomore Lizzie Quinn, a jumpsuiter from Long Island. “There’s so much energy and so much optimism on campus for environmental issues,” she says. “Being in Vermont acts as a crucible. We have all sorts of opportunities to work with community members on these issues.”

While it’s true that climate change may already be irreversible, adds Hemphill, “We can still make it less severe. So many people say that being pessimistic is being realistic, but I say it’s just as realistic to be optimistic.” m

“

he Latino-oriented record label Urban Box Office (UBO) said Friday it would put the new Spanish version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on the market Monday to coincide with the U. S. Senate’s debate on immigration legislation.”

— Fox News “I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English.”

— George W. Bush Gentle reader: ¡Hola! ¿Que tal? I’m afraid that’s all the Spanish I know, if you don’t count isolated words — mañana, tequila, Evita and so on. About 20 years ago, I took

What nobody’s saying in this trumped-up farce is that “Nuestro Himno” isn’t being forced on anyone. two months of Spanish lessons during a research trip to Madrid, but for some reason the only phrases that stick in my head are “Where are the skin creams, please?” and “I’m a stewardess for British Airways.”

Neither of them will get me very far in the current debate raging over “Nuestro Himno,” the new, “Spanglishized” version of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and evidently the greatest threat to national security and American amour propre since French fries and the Axis of Evil.

In case you missed it, “Nuestro Himno” is the brainchild of British-born producer Adam Kidron, the head of Urban Box Office, who recently pulled together a number of Latino pop stars — Mexico’s Gloria Trevi, Puerto Rico’s Carlos Ponce, Cuban rapper Pitbull, etc. — to record a Spanish version of the national anthem as “a statement of solidarity with the immigrant movement,” and to coincide with what were expected to be further massive protests for immigrants’ rights on Monday, May 1.

“I said, what’s a song we could record that everyone could rally around?” Kidron declared last week in an interview with The Miami Herald. “Me and everyone I know are living the American dream” — even the English need to learn English, it seems — “and, to an extent, we do it on the backs of American immigrants. I wanted to make the most beautiful version of the national anthem ever so it reflected the brilliance of these Latino artists.” If there’s a whiff of commercial exploitation in Kidron’s remarks, that, too, is as American as apple pie.

“Look at how many Americans parade their Irish roots on St. Patrick’s Day,” Kidron explains. “And go down to Little Italy in New York. When you hear people speaking Italian in those restaurants, you think, oh, good, it’s authentic, the food must be good. Yet it seems to be a qualifi-

cation for Hispanic immigrants that they mustn’t . . . sing in their own language.”

Granted, “Nuestro Himno” takes some rather large liberties with “The StarSpangled Banner,” warbling on not just about the “sacred flag,” “fierce combat” and “gleaming emblems of victory,” but “equality,” “brotherhood” and the need for immigrant workers to “break [their] chains.” Overseas, May 1 is International Workers’ Day, and it’s this, combined with good old American racism and paranoia, that has had the nation’s “conservative” punditry in such a froth.

Take Michelle Malkin, for example, the syndicated columnist and TV talking head.

Malkin is a sort of . . . well, a dark version of Ann Coulter, who thinks “Nuestro Himno” is a sign that Mexico intends to “reconquer” the United States. I’m not aware that Mexico ever did conquer the United States — I thought it was the other way around — but Malkin’s words are part of a well-orchestrated right-wing piece, and they dribble to insignificance next to other commentary I’ve read.

“Just in time for their May Day celebrations,” says an editorial in The American Daily, “the hoards [sic] of illegal immigrants invading the U.S. have released a version of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ in Spanish. [It] clearly shows what [they] want: They want amnesty and they want communism.” The American Daily is published out of Phoenix, Arizona, whose citizens can’t build fences quickly enough against the “Messican” menace. Even Charles Key, great-great-grandson of “The Star-Spangled Banner’s” original author, Francis Scott Key, has got in on the act, finding it “despicable that someone is going into our society from another country and . . . changing the national anthem.” If Key still got royalties on his ancestor’s words, I doubt he’d be so incensed.

What nobody’s saying in this trumpedup farce is that “Nuestro Himno” isn’t being forced on anyone; no one’s asking that it be made “official,” for Spanishspeakers or anyone else. Singing “Nuestro Himno” is and will be entirely voluntary — if it can be sung at all, that is, which “The Star-Spangled Banner” notoriously can’t. Even professionals forget the words and start begging for mercy when confronted with this octave-swooping thing, which is why the anthem is now routinely lipsynched at baseball games — that and the memory of Roseanne Barr, whose raucous, crotch-grabbing rendition of the tune nearly led to riots in 1990. In It All Started With Columbus (1961), humorist Richard Armour explained how we got stuck with Key’s nightmare to begin with.

“In an attempt to take Baltimore,” Armour wrote, “the British attacked Fort McHenry, which protected the harbor . . .

During the bombardment, a young lawyer named Francis ‘Off’ Key wrote ‘The StarSpangled Banner,’ and when, by the dawn’s early light, the British heard it sung, they fled in terror!”

So take heart, America — no hay nada temer. If millions of illegal aliens start singing Key’s song, they just might run shrieking back over the border. m

Burlington’s Flynn Center to hear the author, actor and talk-show host deliver a fundraising “Night of Laughs.”

But the evening’s first snickers were directed at Tarrant, who had erected an anti-Franken sign outside the theater that read, “Keep Partisan Hate Out of Vermont.” Franken’s initial 10 minutes of material came from last week’s Seven Days — specifically, Peter Freyne’s “Inside Track.” Crediting the paper, Franken read aloud a section of “Track,” titled “Tarrant Gets Testy,” in which Freyne reported Tarrant had told a group of 50 Rotarians, “Al Franken should not be coming to this state.” Likening him to Rush Limbaugh, Tarrant fumed, “This state is about moderate voices, common sense and getting things done. This partisan hatred, I hate!”

Great line, especially delivered in Franken’s signature deadpan style.

Franken read on as Freyne pressed Tarrant for a specific example of Franken’s “partisan hatred,” and the columnist and the candidate got into a heated exchange. As Freyne doggedly pursued him, Tarrant shot back, “Next question!” “Another question!” and finally, “I’m not about giving examples!”

Too bad Freyne edited out a portion of the verbal volley in which Tarrant mistakenly referred to Franken as Al Franklin; the comedian would have had a lot of fun with that. For his part, Al skipped over Freyne’s “Inside Track” confession that he’s “not a big Franken fan.” He’s no liar . . .

Plenty of left-leaning Americans tune in to Franken’s daily show on “Air America.” Because of its popularity, the local station that carries the program moved it from the afternoon to a 7-10 p.m. timeslot.

Whenever you tune in, there’s plenty of begging on the station that bills itself as “Champlain Valley’s progressive talk-radio.”

For the past two weeks, WVAA 1390 has been soliciting contributions. No matter that it’s a commercial entity; along with six other broadcasting entities in the Burlington market, WVAA is part of the New Hampshire-based radio group that owns MP103, The Point and Boston’s The River.

At least twice an hour, a deejay urgently intones, “It’s listeners like you that keep WVAA on the air, to fight the right-wing media that has taken over the mainstream airwaves. Your support is proof that you’re truly progressive in your views, and we greatly appreciate it. If you would like to contribute, log on to WVAA1390.com and check out how you can help Talk 1390 WVAA continue in its fight against the right-wing media.”

The station is careful to explain that donations are not tax-deductible. “If we want to stay around, we’ve gotta prove to the owners that we’re a viable format,” says Program Director J.J. Prieve. Generating a “secondary revenue stream” — advertising is the primary one — is a way to do that.

“They’re getting membership into a preferred customer club,” Prieve explains. “We give them insider information on shows, first crack at the newsletter.” He says he’s received more than $1000 from 300 “members” in the past two weeks. “It’s not going to be anything that’s going to overtake the commercial inventory,” Prieve adds. “It’s a supplement that . . . lets us grow and get the progressive message out.”

Check this out: Montpelier’s KelloggHubbard Library is shutting down next week — and again in October — in order to balance its budget. Borrowing at the historic library has increased dramatically; it now has the second-highest circulation in the state. The manner in which KelloggHubbard raises funds is also noteworthy: Six towns contribute tax dollars to the library in exchange for access, which makes it a “private library, not a municipal library,” says Director Martin Hahn.

Of 17,000 potential borrowers in the service area, 13,000 have library cards.

By contrast, Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library issues 12,084 cards in a city of 39,000. K-H’s problem is not participation, but planning.

“We ended 2005 with a deficit of $135,000,” Hahn explains. “When we looked at 2006 and saw a possible deficit of $180,000, we had to take immediate action.”

The library petitioned Montpelier residents for an additional $96,000, which voters approved overwhelmingly on Town Meeting Day. It also expanded fundraising through grants and donations and promised to reduce expenses. Kahn estimates the library will save $7000 each week it’s shuttered, for a total of $14,000 in savings. Even the VanGo Bookmobile will park it for a week in order to help the library make ends meet. One plus: The drop-off box will be open for returns, but technically, books that come due during the week of May 8 aren’t expected back until the following Monday, May 15. m

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Pleasanton, Calif., reported receiving a call that someone had hit two parked cars and sped away with his horn honking. Minutes later, another caller said that his roommate had parked his pickup truck in the driveway with extensive front-end damage and its horn sounding incessantly. According to Lt. Bob Lyness, the caller said that the roommate, David John Verrow, 46, “was drunk, panicked and had locked himself in his room with an ax and a pellet gun.” When police went to Verrow’s home, the roommate reported hearing “chopping sounds” coming from Verrow’s room.

that the incident was part of a Holocaustremembrance project. “Teachers felt that it would have defeated the purpose to tell the students ahead of time because that would have prepared them,” he said. One of the parents, John Tinnelly, didn’t dispute the importance of teaching the children about the Holocaust but took issue with the methods used, explaining, “I tried to talk to my son [about what he learned]. The only thing he said is, ‘Daddy, the only thing I found out today is I don’t want to be Jewish.’”

School Daze As part of a two-day project tied to the reading of Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl, teachers at a middle school in Apopka, Fla., without warning or explanation, separated the school’s 440 eighth-graders by last names and issued yellow stars to those whose names began with the letters L through Z. For the rest of the day, the students wearing the yellow stars were subjected to various humiliations and denied the use of certain water fountains and restrooms. When some of the students complained to their parents, school principal Douglas Guthrie told reporters

As part of the drill, Angie Marquez instructed teachers to place buckets in the back of classrooms for students who couldn’t wait until the end of the day to use the restroom. When parents demanded an explanation, school administrators defended Marquez but explained that she had misread the handbook governing crisis situations. “When there’s a nuclear attack, that’s when buckets are used,” Tim Brown, director of operations, told the Los Angeles Times.

Resident Carol Coburn said that she came up with the idea after reading about similar efforts in West Palm Beach. Fla., where crime decreased by as much as 40 percent in parks where classical music was played.

Jury of His Peers After a Chicago jury convicted former Illinois governor George Ryan, 72, of selling his office and lying about it, defense attorneys attacked the jurors’ fitness to serve, insisting that their client deserves another trial. Two of the jurors had to be replaced during the 11-day deliberations after the Chicago Tribune disclosed that they had concealed arrest records during pre-trial questioning. Three more did not reveal arrests from more than 20 years ago.

Another juror was replaced shortly before deliberations began after five colleagues complained to the judge that she had been sleeping during testimony.

Giveth, Taketh Away The Federal Emergency Management Agency notified 2,044 Mississippi residents that they must repay a total of $4.7 million in federal Hurricane Katrina benefits. FEMA official Eugene Brezany explained that some storm victims got duplicate or extra benefits because of the agency’s errors, the mistaken belief that secondary residences qualified for payments or “intentional misrepresentation.”

Bolivia should be fed coca leaves for breakfast instead of milk, according to Foreign Minister David Choquehuaca, who declared that the coca leaf provides more nutritional substance and extra energy. Speaking before the congressional foreign relations committee, Choquehuaca pointed out that the coca leaf has more calcium than milk and more phosphorous than fish. His remarks are part of an effort by the government of President Evo Morales to remove coca from international lists of toxic substances.

• Speaking at a breakfast forum on current political issues in Hartwell, Ga., state Sen. Nancy Schaefer blamed the problem of illegal immigration on legalized abortion. Pointing out that 50 million abortions have been performed in the United States, causing a shortage of cheap American labor, Schaefer declared, “We could have used those people.”

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, After watching countless spy movies, Westerns and TV cop shows, I wonder: How easy is it to knock someone out by smacking them on the back of the head with a pistol, club, etc.? Since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not willing to act as a test subject, although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have plenty of volunteers willing to do the smacking, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking you as the next-best source.

Dave Arnold, Ashland, Kansas I was wondering: When you get hit in the head really hard, you get knocked out. Why? What causes a person to lose consciousness? This is probably gonna be a tough one.

Beaner, via email Could be. See what you make of this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immediately after biomechanical injury to the brain, abrupt, indiscriminant release of neurotransmitters and unchecked ionic fluxes occur. The binding of excitatory transmitters, such as glutamate, to the N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptor leads to further neuronal depolarization with efflux of potassium and influx of calcium. These ionic shifts lead to acute and subacute changes in cellular physiology.â&#x20AC;?

After two more paragraphs in this vein, the authors (Giza and Hovda, 2001) remark, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This overview represents a simplified framework of the neurometabolic cascade [involved in a knockout].â&#x20AC;? They then launch into the non-dumbed-down version. I get the drift, but the average reader is apt to think he just got hit on the head.

Is there a simpler explanation? Sorta, but be warned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nobody really understands what causes a concussion, as a knockout is more properly known. (Just so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re clear, what sports types call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ding,â&#x20AC;? in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stunned but conscious, is a mild concussion.) A few basics: First, sudden acceleration or deceleration of the head seems to be essential. If somebody clouts you from above, so that your head remains stationary, you may suffer other injuries but probably no knockout. Second, strong evidence suggests that a KO requires twisting or rotational motion--one reason woodpeckers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat themselves silly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought, is that their bills travel straight back and forth, like a jackhammer. In contrast, a boxer loses consciousness when a blow causes his brain to slosh and spin inside the skull.

Is knocking somebody out as easy as it looks on TV? If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking Tweety pounding Sylvester atop the noggin with a mallet, no, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how it works. A compact, head-snapping shot to the side of the jaw, on the other hand, might well do the trick.

This brings us back to the central question: How is it that a single blow can cause somebody to black out only to revive without apparent permanent damage (although see below)? In a 2002 review, New Zealand physiologist Nigel Shaw rules out some of the more common theories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for example, that you lose consciousness because disrupted blood flow starves your brain of oxygen. Not possible: blood flow is just too poky to

account for the near instantaneousness of a classic knockout. More likely, Shaw thinks, a concussion is a see page form of epileptic seizure involving massive, uncontrolled brain-cell discharge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Giza and Hovda above seem to be going with their talk of indiscriminant neurotransmitter release. great drinks â&#x20AC;˘ seasonal menu But the convulsion theory doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain everything.

Consider the sad fate of countless professional boxers, 2x5.5-DoggieDaycare050306 4/27/06 9:54 AM Page 1 most prominently Muhammad Ali but also Jack lounge Dempsey, Joe Louis and many others. All suffer or 86 St. Paul Street suffered from a condition variously called pugilistic Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, punch-drunk syndrome, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), characterized by Untitled-8.indd 1 4/17/06 11:47:28 AM TM tremors, rigidity, slurred speech and a halting gait. Studies have shown that as many as 18 percent of professional boxers develop CTE, and that the more bouts they fight, the worse they end up.

A distinction is sometimes drawn between Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, which is caused by repeated head trauma, and the clinically similar but more common Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, the cause of which is unknown but presumably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve getting regularly beat up. Aliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors over the years have disagreed about whether the champ has the disease or the syndrome.

Evidence for the former includes the fact that his condition has worsened even though he retired from the ring long ago; for the latter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; come on, the guy was a boxer. Ali suffered only one professional knockout (and a technical one at that), in 1980 against Larry Holmes, to my mind suggesting that, contrary to what many coaches think, getting your bell rung a few times too many can be as bad as knockouts over the long haul.

To further complicate matters, research suggests CTE is most likely to emerge in boxers with a particular gene â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some veteran fighters (George Foreman and Max Schmeling are two Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen mentioned) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop @ 10:00am the problem. @ 6:45pm So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an epilepsy connection, a Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even mention the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (both for 6 weeks $80) connection. Not to give you the old rope-a-dope, but where the brain is concerned, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known is greatly exceeded by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

3/27/06 1:26:04 PM

uring World War II, an impulsive, artistic young woman named Lily Sergueiew fled occupied France to live near friends in England. From there she began sending regular radio transmissions to the Nazis. In May 1944, Sergueiew informed her German spymaster that she was romantically involved with an American officer.

Through him, she claimed to have learned all sorts of specifics about the First U.S. Army Group, a large force massing in southeast England for a summer attack on the Pas de Calais in France.

On June 6, D-Day, the Allies landed in France â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not on the Pas de Calais but in Normandy. However, based on the information provided by Sergueiew and a thick network of other spies, Hitler was convinced that Normandy was a mere diversion. Believing that the real assault was still to come, he ordered General Rommel not to move his formidable Fifteenth Army from the Pas de Calais.

The rest, as they say, is history. The second assault never came, because the First U.S. Army Group was largely a â&#x20AC;&#x153;notionalâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; imaginary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; force. The landing craft that filled Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southeast ports and the 3-mile-square oil dock at Dover â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clear signs of military buildup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were actually giant stage sets made of scrap materials. The ruse worked. Rommelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immobility gave the Allies their chance to press on to Paris, Berlin, and eventual victory.

What was the real role of Lily Sergueiew? Or of Juan Garcia Pujol, the silver-tongued Spanish spy who had forewarned the Germans of D-Day and sworn to them that it was only a rehearsal?

Or of the other spies scattered around Britain? Clearly, they were all double agents. But how did they gain the trust of the Nazis when their reports were scripted by British intelligence? How did the Allies pull off such an elaborate deception?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story Shelburne resident Hervie Haufler tells in his second book, The Spies Who Never Were, published last January by Penguin. In this compact, meatand-potatoes history, WWII veteran Haufler explains how British intelligence functioned like a well-oiled machine to â&#x20AC;&#x153;turnâ&#x20AC;? suspected German agents and recruit others to the cause, and then to maintain their credibility with the German Abwehr intelligence service. Not one of the spies who reported to the Abwehr from England was what he or she appeared to be, and 120 people played this role at some point during the war.

Haufler gives a chapter to each of the major double agents, who came from a dazzling array of backgrounds and had â&#x20AC;&#x153;code names such as Balloon, Careless, Gelatine, Hamlet, Lipstick, Snark, Mullet, Puppet and Treasure.â&#x20AC;? Wulf Schmidt, a German nabbed after he parachuted into Britain, underwent a â&#x20AC;&#x153;conversionâ&#x20AC;? and decided to serve his captors. Eddie Chapman, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Underlinesâ&#x20AC;? is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

career criminal, embraced spying as his route to fame and fortune. Shy Juan Pujol had to use his novelistic imagination just to get the notice of the British, who initially rejected his offers of service. He contacted the Germans and began sending them bulletins supposedly from England and full of persuasive misinformation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;even though he had never been there.â&#x20AC;? With British complicity, he later concocted a network of 27 subagents who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.

Then there was Dusko Popov, whose story came closest to a James Bond movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least as he later told it. The wealthy Yugoslav playboy claimed after the war that he had tried in vain to warn J. Edgar Hoover about the imminent attack on Pearl Harbor.

Unlike Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FBI, which Haufler describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;[seeking] every possible opportunity to prompt headlinesâ&#x20AC;? with the dramatic capture of spies, British intelligence worked in intense secrecy. That secrecy extended into the postwar period, and it affected Haufler himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1942,â&#x20AC;? Haufler says in an email, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enlisted in the only service that would overlook my poor eyesight: the U.S. Army Signal Corps.â&#x20AC;? He was part of a group of G.I.s who were trained for a role in the British codebreaking program known as Ultra Secret, without which the double agent system could not have succeeded. He was assigned to a station in Kent where radio operators intercepted coded German messages. As a cryptographer, Hauflerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job was to guide the operators to the frequency where they would find a particular German network on a given day. (The Germans regularly switched frequencies according to a set of formulas, which the British had decoded.) The messages were then sent on to Bletchley Park, near London, where British mathematicians had devised a way to crack the Nazisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Enigma coding machine.

Haufler discovered this only much later, when the efforts of the cryptanalysts were publicized in books and movies like Enigma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew the central place only as Station X,â&#x20AC;? he says in a phone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Military intelligence is ruled by the need to know. You learn only what you need to know to do your job. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an officer, I was an enlisted man, so my need to know was not very big.â&#x20AC;?

After the war ended, Haufler and about 10,000 other participants in the codebreaking system were sworn to secrecy about the work they had done. The British â&#x20AC;&#x153;were wary about the Russians in the Cold War,â&#x20AC;? Haufler points out, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to expose one of their greatest weapons.

He adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our outfits were so dedicated to this vow that we lost track of each other.â&#x20AC;?

It took 30 years for the veil to fall. A British officer was finally permitted to write a book detailing the triumph of the codebreakers, and accounts of the double agents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also officially classified â&#x20AC;&#x201D; began to surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I found out the full story I became obsessed with that secret war of military intelligence,â&#x20AC;? Haufler says.

After the war, business concerns gave Haufler little time for writing until he and his wife closed their consulting company and retired to New Hampshire. Haufler spent six years on his first book, Codebreakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Victory, which he researched extensively in England; it was published in 2003.

Next, Hauflerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent floated his idea for The Spies Who Never Were to Penguin, where Haufler says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;my editor there saw special promise in it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so much so that he wanted

the manuscript in six months. I gulped and signed the contract.â&#x20AC;?

Haufler didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to go to the U.K. himself, so he hired a professional researcher who turned out to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a marvel. He would find documents I should see, digitally photograph them and burn them onto a compact disc,â&#x20AC;? Haufler says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would then send me some 1200 pages on a single CD.â&#x20AC;?

Hauflerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of British espionage in WWII suggests that Machiavelli was right â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes the fox is mightier than the lion, or cunningly gathered intelligence does what sheer force cannot. What does he think of the questions that have been raised about U.S. intelligence since the attacks of 9/11?

In WWII, Haufler says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important lesson that we are not likely to learn.

That is, not to scatter our intelligence operations into many pieces. The British in WWII did it right. They broke down the barriers to interservice rivalries.

Control of the double agents was given to the one operation, especially formed for that person.

Each service had a representative on the committee that controlled the double agents. When the U.S. was in control of war in Pacific, they never did use miliary intelligence too well, because it was split up among the services, each one guarding its turf.â&#x20AC;?

Haufler and his wife recently moved to Vermont to live at Wake Robin Continuing Care Retirement Community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lucky old scribbler, to have my first two books published when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in my eighties,â&#x20AC;? says the author, now 87. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I plan to keep on scribbling as long as my energy and wits hold out.â&#x20AC;?

Another octagenarian â&#x20AC;&#x153;scribbler,â&#x20AC;? Vermont State Poet Grace Paley, will read at St. Johnsbury Academy this Friday.

Local novelist and memoirist Reeve Lindbergh will introduce her. Come see why Salon.com called Paley a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sagacious elf.â&#x20AC;?

Since 1984, the magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judges have chosen promising writers from a selected state for a trip to New York to meet with agents and editors.

Well-known novelists Mona Simpson and Sue Monk Kidd are among the previous winners, but this is the first time Vermonters have had a chance to compete for a leg up in the lit world. m

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

The Lying Game

L

ately, watching the cable news, it’s become increasingly clear to me that I’m a sap. Here I am working hard to earn an honest dollar, while more and more of my fellow Americans are making big bucks by lying their faces off.

It seems a day doesn’t go by without news of another scam designed to pay off in fame, fortune or both. Remember that lying runaway bride, Jennifer Wilbanks? One minute she’s claiming to be kidnapped, and the next she’s just stressed over wedding plans. Crazy? Sure. But she wound up the subject of national media coverage for weeks, underwent a glamorous makeover, and ended up doing highly rated prime-time interviews on network television. You can’t tell me she didn’t cash a few juicy checks along the way.

A week or so ago, I saw a CNN report about a Massachusetts couple who’d been apprehended for filing a small fortune in fraudulent insurance claims. Did they pretend to have whiplash from a car accident? Feign a work-related injury, only to

The untruthiness trend is not confined to glasseating baby fakers. be videotaped waterskiing in the Caribbean? Nope, these two demonstrated good old American ingenuity: Again and again, they made up aliases and filed for damages claiming the food they were served at restaurants contained glass. Clever? You might think so. Until you learn they actually ingested glass shards just in case anyone checked.

We’ve all seen plenty of puff pieces about communities rallying around their own after disasters strike. But these are super-cynical times, and some of the more enterprising sociopaths can’t resist cashing in on the kindness of strangers.

Two such cases made the 24/7 cable-news playlist recently. Heather Faria, a 27-year-old former high school teacher from Massachusetts, received more than $35,000 in donations after falsely spreading word that she’d been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Her story no doubt would have received greater play had it not been overshadowed by a far more elaborate deception: a Missouri couple who sought financial assistance from the public claiming they were the proud but penniless parents of sextuplets. They even posed for the national press brandishing six empty baby outfits.

When asked where the actual tykes were, Kris and Sarah Everson lied and claimed they required special care and were still at the hospital. Apparently, local police were more thorough fact-checkers than were gullible members of the media.

tion for help? Now, that had “made for TV movie” written all over it. But it turned out the heroic hiker had outstanding warrants and a criminal drug history. Shortly thereafter, the shady bunch went missing again. If they’re found, I’ll bet you anything we’ll learn the whole lost-family drama had been staged.

Yes, the cable news is rife with stories about cagey citizens. Recently a Colorado woman named Sarah Kenney duped the community of Grand Junction into believing her husband had been killed in Iraq, and into offering her financial as well as moral support. Too bad she had no husband — and that a local reporter uncovered her evil, madeup scheme.

There’s so much public prevarication going on that someone has even published a book about the phenomenon. A couple of weeks ago, Paula Zahn had Stan Walters on her CNN show to talk about his new release, The Truth About Lying. The news anchor maintained she couldn’t understand why anyone would believe they could achieve notoriety by fabricating a media case. Then she went right back to reporting the sort of time-filling non-news that inspires so much copycat behavior.

The untruthiness trend is not confined to glass-eating baby fakers. Reporters Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair disgraced prominent publications with their journalistic high jinks. Writer James Frey made millions from his fictitious “memoirs.” We’ve learned the popular Navajo novelist Nasdijj is really Tim Barrus, a 55-yearold white man from Lansing, Michigan. Just weeks ago, celebrated author JT Leroy, a literary sensation since the publication of his first novel in 2000, was revealed to be a young woman. One whose writing is done by yet another woman, a 40-year-old rock musician. And The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is based on Leroy’s work . . . he should know.

Professional sports hardly want for problems in this area, from Pete Rose’s claim that he never bet on baseball, to Barry Bonds’ denial that he’s ever used steroids.

Hard-partying actors and rock stars routinely appear on programs such as “Entertainment Tonight” and talk about their “exhaustion.”

Everybody knows this is public-relations code for “too much Jagermeister and blow.” These folks

aren’t resting — they’re in rehab.

One pharmaceutical company after another fails to be totally forthcoming about the dangerous side effects of their products. I don’t remember Merck listing “deadly heart attacks” as a possible result of Vioxx use, but we now know the company was fully aware of it.

Let’s face it: We’ve become a nation of fudgers.

But is it any wonder? Isn’t this just trickle-down from the White House, where a whopper isn’t a sandwich but a public policy strategy? Has there ever been a less repentant Fibber-in-Chief than George W. Bush? First there was that business about Saddam Hussein playing a role in 9/11, and another about him trying to buy materials to build a nuclear bomb. Then came the lie that got Bush the war he wanted: that “liberating” U.S. troops would find stockpiles of WMD. To this day, the lies keep coming. After Katrina, the president promised the levees would be repaired before the next hurricane season arrived. Guess what that was: a lot of hot air.

Bush can stack the judicial deck, but he can’t find a way to convince his oil-biz buddies to dial down the corporate gluttony. “I’m concerned about higher gas prices,” he fibs. Meanwhile, ExxonMobil is making profits of $100 million a day.

Administration spinners say the president can’t control the price of crude, blaming tensions in the Middle East. But the fact is, he could do something about overpricing at the pump if he cared to, and half the tensions in the Middle East are his fault. As Ted Kennedy pointed out on last Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” if Bush really is concerned, “he should have called the heads of the oil companies into the White House and told them this is not a time for greed, that they need to return excessive profits to the public.” Well, you know President Bush. He’s The Decider. Guess he decided against that.

The latest in the long line of administration fibs? The “shake-up” in the White House. Give me a break. One guy resigning and another having his title changed does not exactly a shake-up make.

Especially when one is the press secretary and the other is Karl Rove.

But there’s got to be a way I can jump on this fabrication bandwagon. They say the truth can set you free, but these days, it seems, lying can set you up for life. m

mainly 19th-century vintage. The Kalkin House, where the show is installed, is conspicuously atypical on the grounds. A 2000square-foot space, it was built to display folk art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for which the museum is internationally known â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but is far better suited to its current role as temporary repository for tables and seating pieces once shockingly unorthodox in their shapes and materials.

New Jersey-based architect Adam Kalkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation consists of pre-fab industrial materials and giant cargo containers that

have been converted into a second story.

Colorful stage-style curtains tied to steel pillars make for a theatrical entrance to an austere but genial building that evokes as much wonderment as the display it houses. Its large, garage-style doors are pulled open on warm days, allowing visitors unobstructed views and scents of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grassy, flowery grounds.

Shelburne patrons weary from walking the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45 acres will welcome the chance to rest in this airy interior. And all summer long, they can take a load off in chairs and settees designed by a few of the most celebrated figures in the American Modernist movement. Knoll, Inc., a preeminent American furniture design and manufacturing company, lent the Shelburne about 20 of its mid-20th-century masterworks with the stipulation that those looking at them would also be able to sit on them.

Because of its butts-on policy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homey and Hipâ&#x20AC;? differs delightfully from the standard keep-your-distance museum experience.

Although it’s not an extensive survey, the show does feature pieces emblematic of the highstyle, residential look of the past half-century. It also demonstrates how an era’s most profound events affect its aesthetic expressions — right down to the look of a living room.

First up is a four-part ensemble from the early 1940s. The biomorphic coffee table and pair of maple-framed chairs with nylon and cotton strapping were designed by Jens Risom, a Danish émigré who was one of Knoll’s original stars. Risom worked in the romantic Scandinavian vein that ran thickly through the early phase of Modernist furniture design.

The accompanying settee, composed of a series of tufted rectangles, is by Florence Knoll, widow of the firm’s co-founder, Hans Knoll. The couple fled Nazi Germany and established their pioneering furniture firm in New York in 1938. Florence Knoll’s piece represents a decisive departure from the style favored by Risom, whose table and chairs had been produced two years earlier.

Knoll studied in Chicago with Mies van der Rohe, the superstar of Internationalist architecture, and with Walter Gropius, leader of Weimar Germany’s influential Bauhaus school of applied arts. Knoll took to the functionalist, pareddown aesthetic developed by the German architects and designers.

And she ensured that Knoll, Inc., would henceforth be identified with this non-ornamental, reductivist form of furniture.

Today, however, it’s Risom’s chairs that hold the greater appeal in this grouping. Their construction is both simple and supple. And it’s here, right at the start of the show, that history’s impact on Modern design becomes evident.

World War II determined the types of material used in several of the pieces in “Homey and Hip.” Risom’s chairs, for example, were originally made with parachute straps discarded by the U.S. Air Force. Synthetic and natural fibers alike were being largely diverted to the war effort.

A set of chairs designed by Harry Bertoia also embody the influence of the seminal event of the mid-20th century. Bertoia, an immigrant from Italy, relied on the human hand to bend strips of metal into a diamond shape that curator Rogers describes as “more air than chair.” The chair’s rigid form gives the impression that Bertoia was devoted more to his artistic vision than to his clients’ comfort. But sitting on these pieces actually produces pleasure, not pain. And that’s because Bertoia applied the principles he learned from devising ergonomic designs for the cockpits of U.S. warplanes.

A dining table by JapaneseAmerican sculptor Isamu Noguchi was commissioned by Knoll, Inc., in 1954 as a complementary centerpiece for Bertoia’s chairs, designed two

years earlier. The Formica top of Noguchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circular table is supported by chrome-plated steel struts affixed to a heavy iron base.

The piece presents an interesting case study in how an artistic concept can evolve in unexpected directions. Noguchi was originally inspired by the look of an African stool to which he added a rocking capability. Hans Knoll then asked Noguchi to convert the design into a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table, which in turn served as the basis for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cycloneâ&#x20AC;? piece on display at the Shelburne.

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focal point is a trio of bentwood chairs designed in 1991 by Frank Gehry, who probably qualifies as the most innovative American architect of the past 20 years. Gehryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pale maple pieces consist of thin layered wood strips curled into continuous lines and joined by industrialstrength adhesive rather than nails or screws. The chairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intricate construction has a woven quality that will appeal to visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eyes while soothing their backs and bottoms.

Gehry, who grew up in Toronto, has playfully employed hockey terms in titling each of the chairs. One, aptly christened â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cross Checking,â&#x20AC;? sits beside the â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Stickingâ&#x20AC;? side chair and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power Playâ&#x20AC;? armchair, which, to Rogers, resembles a goalie in its squatness.

Gehryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pieces are unfortunately positioned in front of a roughly 20-foot-long, chromegrey, sink-and-stovetop combination that dominates the exhibition space, even though it has nothing to do with the show

itself. The fixture is a leftover from the original notion of presenting Kalkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building as the contemporary-style residence of a collector of folk art. If the interior did not contain the objects that make up â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homey and Hip,â&#x20AC;? the kitchen fixture would appear appropriate. In the midst of all this groundbreaking design, however, it looks utterly out of place and will surely cause visual confusion on the part of visitors.

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale features an identical pair of easy chairs and an oval, marble-topped pedestal table designed by Eero Saarinen.

The seating pieces, produced in the mid-1950s, are the first in the world to be fabricated from fiberglass. Their swooping lines call to mind the St. Louis Gateway Arch and the TWA terminal at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kennedy Airport that made Saarinen a hero of Modern architecture.

As the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Womb Chairâ&#x20AC;? title suggests, visitors are meant to curl up in these pieces, which include built-in foot rests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homey and Hipâ&#x20AC;? is the first show assembled by Kory Rogers, a 28-year-old Oklahoma native who became curator of exhibitions in September after a twoyear stint as an intern. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an apt as well as auspicious debut.

Rogers concentrated on mid20th-century design while studying for his graduate degree at the Smithsonian-Parsons School in Washington. He is planning a series of shows in the Kalkin House that will highlight the work of designers from his own generation.

This theme should lend freshness to an institution that many twenty- and thirtysomething Vermonters probably associate with dusty old relics. Under the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new director Stephan Jost, 37, the Shelburne appears determined to take on a cooler image in hopes of attracting younger audiences. With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homey and Hip,â&#x20AC;? the makeover is off to a promising start. m

harlie Krumholz has a new toy: a 2-ton trailer with a hydraulic lift. On a recent Saturday it’s filled with 3 yards of rich, black topsoil he’s hauled from Burlington’s Intervale Compost Facility to the Medical STORY Center Community Garden. Turning onto MARK the lawn from Colchester Avenue, he stops AIKEN at one corner of the garden — still just an L-shaped mound of dirt this early in the seaIMAGE son. With the press of a button, he upends MATTHEW the trailer, and dumps the load. No shovelTHORSEN ing required.

Hauling topsoil is just one of the jobs Krumholz does for Burlington’s eight community garden sites. As “the tractor guy that tills the gardens,” he also delivers hay, trims trees, hauls away debris, and does pretty much whatever else needs doing.

While delivering compost to Champlain School recently, he noticed that the bike rack needed to be moved, and new gravel

brought in. He’ll do that gratis.

When he starts something, he puts everything into it. Burlington’s community garden program is no exception. Soon after the New North End resident first rented a plot at the Starr Farm Community Garden in 1995, he became the site’s volunteer coordinator. “I spent so much time there that they just asked me to do it,” says Krumholz, now 51.

Two years ago, he took over tilling all the city’s gardens, a job Cornelius Reed had held for 30 years. Reed was ready to retire, and he’d noticed Krumholz’s energy and enthusiasm. The new role didn’t just call for a commitment of time and energy. In March 2004, Krumholz personally purchased Reed’s tractor, trailer and Rototiller attachment.

“My wife started talking about divorce when she first saw this trailer,” Krumholz

jokes. “But then she gave up on divorce and just said she’s going to kill me.”

Krumholz doesn’t work for free. The city pays him $22 a year for each plot. After acquiring the heavy equipment, Krumholz started attracting private clients, as well. The income has offset his investment some, but he works more hours than the city requires, and he’s probably not charging his clients enough, he admits. Take his business card, for example. The card says, “Charlie Krumholz, Master Your Garden.” It wasn’t part of a business plan, and it wasn’t even Krumholz’s idea, but a gift in lieu of payment.

“This is the only advertising I’ve ever done,” Krumholz says.

“And the only reason I have it is because I tilled my neighbor’s garden. He just got out of the

growing season. Krumholz happily ticks off the list.

“You wouldn’t believe you could harvest so much produce from a 30-by-30 plot!” he exclaims. “And some of these plots are amazing; you wouldn’t believe there could be so many different ways to arrange identical plots. Some of our Bosnian gardeners are just great farmers.”

Betty and Sabrina Chu, sisters of Chinese descent, turn their plots each summer into intricate hanging gardens.

“They’re works of art,” Krumholz says. “Diversity is a great thing. It forces you to learn.”

Krumholz’s dedication has not gone unnnoticed. In 2004, the city of Burlington recognized his dedication with a Herbert Blumenfeld Activism Award. “It was fun to get the award,” he says, “but there are

printing business, so he printed up 500 of these for me in exchange. I’m not really making any money because I work for dirt,” he jokes.

In seriousness, Krumholz is not in it for the money. He does it, in part, as a contribution to his community. “Gardening brings people together,” says Lisa Coven, a land steward in charge of Burlington’s community garden program. “The gardens make up one of the Park and Rec Department’s biggest programs, and we depend on volunteers like Charlie.”

Krumholz is average height, with curly gray hair tucked under a baseball cap. When he talks about gardening — particularly the community garden project — his face lights up.

“We have Vietnamese gardeners,” he says, “Bosnian gardeners, old gardeners, young gardeners, professional gardeners, beginning gardeners, blue-collar gardeners, and executives who are gardeners. But it doesn’t matter; everyone is going out and just trying to make a nice garden.”

As gardeners at the different sites create a melting pot of diversity, so do their plots. They grow garlic, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, spinach, lettuce — and anything else that will survive a Vermont

so many deserving people. If anything, it made me feel like I need to do more.”

Not that Krumholz’s motives are entirely altruistic. “People in high-anxiety occupations need a release,” he notes. “I started doing it because it’s good for the community, but also because I needed a physical outlet for my mental health.”

As chief of Clinical Perfusion at Fletcher Allen Health Care, Krumholz oversees the technology that supports or replaces breathing or circulation functions during bypass surgery, heart-valve replacements and heart transplant operations. “We are there to save lives,” Krumholz explains. “I’ve been involved in 2000 heart cases.”

His colleagues at Fletcher Allen also benefit from Krumholz’s gardening. Maggie MacLeay, a surgical nurse, relates that when she wanted to have elevated flowerbeds at her home, Krumholz knew of a person who was removing some raised beds and helped her work out a trade.

“They’re used,” MacLeay says of the 16-by-4-foot boards, “but they’re perfect.” And before Krumholz was done, she adds, “he ended up pruning my apple tree. Then he left with buckets full of flowers to take care of >> 30A

some other lady’s flowerbeds.

He always has a million things going on, and all of the nurses and doctors at the hospital want him to work in their gardens.”

Krumholz grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

When he was young, his father owned a 640-acre farm. “I have great memories of being up on the meadow and sleeping on my dad’s lap on the tractor on the way home,” he says. An avid gardener and a mechanical engineer by trade, his father is full of Farmer’s Almanac tricks and superstitions, Krumholz says.

If the elder Krumholz instilled in his son a love of machinery and the land, he and his wife, a schoolteacher, also imparted their high-energy, do-good attitude. “My parents didn’t teach us the work ethic,” Krumholz says, “they

His first load emptied, Krumholz heads back to the Intervale for more. The compost people wave him through. Although he’s proud of his tractor and trailer, Krumholz is visibly envious of the giant loader that dumps the soil into his trailer. “There’s a rig,” he says.

The facility is busy on this beautiful spring morning.

People are filling pickup trucks, trailers and barrels with compost, mulch and topsoil.

Huge piles — some decomposing leaves, some black topsoil, others reeking of food waste — tower over the vehicles and buildings. The pungent smell of manure tickles the nostrils.

2x7-windows&doors050306

“When people use this dirt — excuse me, ‘soil’ — on their lawns,” Krumholz explains with a gleam in his eye, “they don’t need chemicals anymore. The more people use it in their gardens, the more we’re contributing to improving the area’s soil fertility. It increases the waterholding capacity of our land, and improves soil biodiversity. This has all the makings of creating a better environment.”

Back at the medical center garden, Ward 1 City Counselor Sharon Bushor — who lives just across the street and has maintained a plot here for years — stops by to inspect the progress at the site. Her conversation with Krumholz quickly shifts from gardening to politics. They discuss their respective visions for the site, and what steps former Mayor Peter Clavelle had taken to secure the site for the next 30 years. “I think we should be pushing for a commitment to have this plot for perpetuity,” Bushor says.

Then the conversation turns back to the important stuff: gardening.

“My corn has done surprisingly well,” says Bushor.

“Along with my grandfather’s yellow pear tomatoes.”

Krumholz has already planted peas, carrots and onions at his Starr Farm plot.

But his home garden needs some attention, he says. “I’ve been so busy working on everyone’s garden that mine is like the cobbler’s kids without shoes.” At home, he raises flowers, asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce, strawberries and various herbs. “I also have a little nursery back there,” he says, “with trees and shrubs.”

It’s exhausting just to think about, but Krumholz wouldn’t have it any other way. “Sometimes life is just too short to do everything I want to do,” he says. “I like going to Starr Farm on a nice, warm summer evening, and just hanging out. I love planting things and watching them grow.”

It takes the whole morning and part of the afternoon to haul six loads of topsoil from the Intervale to the medical center. Because the site’s volunteer coordinators are leaving it up to individual gardeners to shovel the compost-rich soil onto their plots, Krumholz fires up his tractor and begins turning over the dirt. As traffic passes along East Avenue and the occasional ambulance siren wails, he eases his tractor along, leaving a smooth, dark path of soil in his wake.

The tractor is surprisingly quiet, and Krumholz smiles as he rides. m

I STORY

KEN PICARD

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s springtime, and Leslie Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden is abloom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with human-like sculptures that, artistically speaking, have one foot in the botanical world and another in ancient architecture. Or medieval culture, or the animal kingdom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eclectic mix, part fantasy and part metaphor. Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works create a sort of mythical surrealism, where human-looking skin, bone and sinew meld with leaves, roots, tree limbs and animal features. The combined effect bridges the gap between the human and natural worlds, between physical and psychological landscapes.

Tampa Museum of Art in Florida, MusĂŠe dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Art Contemporain in MontrĂŠal, the Kunsthaus in Hamburg, Germany, and the Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris.

But despite their large scale and outdoorsy themes, Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pieces can work equally well indoors. In fact, lately sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been moving toward designing smallerscale sculptures more suitable for homes, gardens and small businesses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;artistic interventionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, going into an empty space and transforming it into something aesthetically unique and special.

Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works create a sort of mythical surrealism, where human-looking skin, bone and sinew meld with leaves, roots, tree limbs and animal features.

Fry, an accomplished, MontrĂŠal-born artist, has owned a Winooski duplex with an expansive yard for 14 years. The grounds are replete with large sculptures and objets dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art that either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit inside her crowded barn or simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be confined indoors.

In one corner stands a large, weldedsteel dress shaped like a catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. Later this season, the dress will burst into a bright floral pattern, when the vines growing on it bloom. In the center of the lawn stands a tall but simple metal sculpture of a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mother wicketâ&#x20AC;? for a set of smaller croquet wickets that are also shaped like the feminine form, Fry explains. And outside her nearby barn sits a jumble of ancient-looking ruins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; concrete gargoyles, sphinxes, pillars and ziggurats. All bear some resemblance to human, plant and/or animal features: claws, faces, fruits, torsos.

Fry is best known for her large public sculptures, in the United States and abroad. Her pieces have appeared in Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Firehouse Gallery, the

Many Burlington residents are no doubt familiar with Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger pieces. In 1999, she created the garden of concrete â&#x20AC;&#x153;CLAWFOOTâ&#x20AC;?

sphinxes and lions in the Pomerleau Neighborhood Park, on the corner of Shelburne Road and Home Avenue.

Adjacent to the bus stop outside the Price Chopper supermarket, the circular garden features vinecovered columns, cobblestone walks and small sitting walls. It serves as an oasis from the commercial cacophony of Route 7.

Less well known but more thematically complex is the sculpture Fry created in 2003 for the Mermaid House at 84 North Avenue in the Old North End. The mermaid sculpture juts from the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s façade and incorporates themes related to the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long history.

During the excavation of the Mermaid House site, workers uncovered the bones of soldiers from the War of 1812. They also unearthed a stash of coffee pots, suggesting that the site was once used as a military supply depot during the war.

ated only after a number of community outreach meetings, which occurred at four different libraries. She also had to develop two sets of designs for each library, and work with six different project managers. In all, the design alone took two years to be approved.

Today, Fry still applies to calls for artists from around the United States. But she says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developed a newfound appreciation for smaller projects and more personal, commissioned works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same skills that go into something big can go into something small,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own home provides a glimpse into her more intimate creations. Hanging in her living room is one work in progress: two knot-like sculptures that reflect one another from opposing walls. Vaguely resembling reclined human bodies, or infinity symbols, the pieces comprise sheets of paper on which Fry

Fry incorporated these themes by designing a mermaid wearing a hat from a soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniform of that period; to commemorate the supply depot, the mermaid is holding a coffee pot.

Because the sculpture faces Lake Champlain, her hair is composed of leaping lake perch. The mermaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail fans into a scallop shell, a nod to a more recent tenant of the property: a Shell gas station. Fryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one lament is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no plaque on the building explaining the symbolic significance of all these features.

Her most recent public piece was a series of wall-relief sculptures commissioned by the Pompano Beach Branch Library in Fort Lauderdale. Installed last year, the sculptures combine the themes of nature and human knowledge, with pompano fish leaping from a sea of letters and numbers.

Though the work was artistically a success, Fry admits that the process was hugely bureaucratic and laboriously time-consuming. Each sculpture was cre-

had jotted down her thoughts and daily â&#x20AC;&#x153;to-doâ&#x20AC;? lists. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also thrown a few lottery tickets into the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you think about it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a lot of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lists and dreams,â&#x20AC;? Fry explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you get them together so your life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just lists?â&#x20AC;?

Most of her works are meant to be touched â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to touch the people who commission them. Whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designing a piece for a large public museum or a small business or home, Fry says, she tries to incorporate the architecture of building, the natural contours of the land surrounding it and, most importantly, the personality and character of the people who work or live there.

This is evident from a new artistic direction on display in her living room: air-conditioner covers made of plaster molded from empty cookie wrappers. As Fry confesses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink much or do drugs, but I do like my cookies.â&#x20AC;? m

“Stage” Right ot a house on the market? Then maybe it’s time to box up all those Barbie dolls cluttering the den. Or maybe you should consider moving some furniture and artwork into that cavernous living room, which looks and sounds like a bowling alley and feels just as cozy. Oh, and about that, um, “aromatic” Airedale? You might consider investing in a professional carpet cleaning — or at least a new air freshener.

Let’s face it: Unless you’re Martha Stewart, your home probably doesn’t look like something that would be featured in Better Homes and Gardens. More likely it looks, well, lived in. A real-estate agent may be reluctant to break it to you that cow-centric décor — in every room of the house — isn’t exactly wooing buyers to make a desirable offer.

These days, a different kind of professional clues you in. Like more competitive housing markets elsewhere in the country, Vermont has seen a rise in the use of “staging” services — experts who help sellers present their houses in the best possible light.

The timing couldn’t be more fortuitous.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the number of existing homes for sale is up 39.1 percent from last year. In Chittenden County, real estate agents report that houses are taking longer to sell than they did 12 months ago. Although it’s not yet a buyer’s market, house hunters can take more time making a decision.

“It used to be that a few years ago, if you wanted a house, you didn’t ask for an inspection. You’d sell your first born and you’d sign on the dotted line in your blood and maybe you’d get the house if you offered $10,000 over the asking price,” says Kendall Farrell, one of a hand-

ful of professional “stagers” in Chittenden County. “It’s not like that anymore.”

Farrell, who’s been in the staging business for almost a year, explains that her job entails visiting a home and telling the sellers how they can increase their home’s visual appeal. Much of the work is simply a matter of understanding and communicating the psychology of potential homebuyers — namely, that they decide whether they’re interested in a house within minutes, if not seconds, of entering it.

“The way that you live in your house and the way that you show a house are two totally different things,” Farrell explains. “Staging is going into a house and trying to play up the assets and downplay the challenges.”

For seasoned home shoppers and viewers of the A&E television program “Sell This House,” staging isn’t exactly a groundbreaking concept. Part feng shui, part clutter reduction, part interior design, staging involves using existing furnishings, décor and architecture to the best possible advantage. According to Farrell, this often means eliminating or reducing the “negative visceral reactions” that can turn off a potential buyer, such as smoke or pet odors, outdated color schemes, and spaces that are under- or over-furnished.

Staging is more sophisticated than leaving cookies baking in the oven to make the place seem more homey — an old sellers’ trick. And Farrell doesn’t just walk through the house, make her recommendations and leave. She actually helps her clients do the work — from picking up laundry and moving furniture to spackling walls and repainting rooms.

Farrell, who has worked on homes

Saving you time for the more important things in life. priced from $200,000 to $1 million, says every seller’s motivation and commitment level is different, depending on how much time and money they’re willing to invest. Some homes can be successfully staged in a matter of hours; others take days. Staging can be a particular benefit when selling an empty house. Adding a few pieces of furniture, plants, or wall hangings allows potential buyers to better visualize how their own furniture might work in that space.

fessional on board to preserve their client relationships. Sellers are more likely to trust a stager, who doesn’t work on commission but benefits from a seller’s positive reference. The house that goes quickly improves the stager’s rep.

Currently, there are no figures available in Vermont comparing sales of homes that are staged to those that are not; the profession is still too new here to have reliable market indicators.

But at the national level, Fisher claims that a staged house will sell, on average, in 13.9 days,

they walk into a house. They’re calculating what they’re going to have to put in, and then take that off the asking price.”

Both Farrell and Fisher offer consultations and charge by the hour. Both also offer props, such as artwork, furniture pieces and other items, to help make an empty house look more presentable. The price of staging a house can range from several hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the amount of work involved and the size of the house. But as Farrell points

Staging also requires diplomacy. “It’s hard, because people have lived in their homes for anywhere from five years to 40 years, and they get accustomed to the way it looks — and smells,” says Kim Fisher of Burlington, who has been in the business for about 18 months.

That’s why real-estate agents often prefer to have a staging pro-

versus 30 days for an unstaged house. And the property will typically sell for more than the asking price. Although Fisher hasn’t yet seen the asking prices for staged homes rise in Vermont, in her experience, they do sell more quickly.

“A house that’s staged looks ready to go,” Fisher adds.

“That’s what people do when

Staging a house doesn’t always have the expected result, Farrell says. After seeing 2x4 quicksilver050306.indd how good it can look, some homeowners decide not to sell after all. m

The Enforcers Keeping Burlington’s housing up to code

here are no sirens, no flashing lights, no crackling police radio in Timothy Ahonen’s run-down maroon Chevy pickup. But as the code enforcement officer cruises the streets of Burlington’s Old North End one STORY Thursday afternoon in April, he’s looking CATHY for people breaking the law.

RESMER Ahonen, a former Burlington cop, notices a broken chair lying on the lawn IMAGE in front of a multi-family apartment ANDY building. “That’s a housing issue,” he DUBACK comments disapprovingly.

He makes a mental note and keeps driving. He’s headed to investigate the progress of a zoning complaint at another property, but he can’t help pointing out sundry violations as he sees them. “You develop an eye for these things,” he observes.

Ahonen is one of the city’s seven code enforcement officers. These men and women are charged with upholding Burlington’s zoning laws and the Minimum Housing Ordinance contained in Chapter 18 of the city’s statues. They also monitor compliance with regulations regarding noise, parking, trash removal and public health.

With more than 10,000 rental units that need to be inspected once every 12 to 18 months, and several hundred additional complaints annually, it’s a busy job.

T

And things have picked up significantly in the past year. Last April Burlington hired a new code enforcement director, Gregory B. McKnight II. The soft-spoken administrator has streamlined the inspection process and lit a fire under his employees. In 2004, the Code Enforcement Office performed 2800 inspections. McKnight’s crew topped that number in 2005 in the third quarter alone. This year they hope to hit 12,000.

McKnight takes his job very seriously.

On a shelf in his office he keeps several vials of ethanol containing insects he found while inspecting rental units in Denver. “These are my Oriental cockroaches,” he says, pointing to one vial.

“They were coming out of a drain.” The bedbugs in another vial “came out of some little girl’s bed,” he says.

McKnight insists that the code enforcement job is an important one. His inspectors help protect tenants from the structures they inhabit, help landlords protect their investments, and help make Burlington’s neighborhoods clean and safe places to live.

Ahonen adds that his impartial thirdparty analysis helps head off disputes among landlords, tenants and angry

neighbors. “We keep the peace,” he says.

On this afternoon, Ahonen, the inspector who handles zoning violations, is on his way to a house in the Old North End where neighbors have complained about cars parked illegally in the yard. That’s the biggest zoning issue in town, especially in areas with high concentrations of college students living off-campus.

Students aren’t the problem here, though. The owner of this property is using the tiny

from seven cars to four,” he notes.

Though it’s illegal to have so many cars packed into the space, Ahonen can’t simply have the vehicles removed. Once a neighbor complains, he first visits the site to verify the complaint.

Then he sends a letter giving the owner 10 days to correct the violation or produce a permit exempting it.

But with zoning violations, owners have a number of ways to forestall action, and the process typically takes a while.

when in fact it’s simply stuck in a long and cumbersome process.

When McKnight came on the job, his office had a backlog of 1400 zoning complaints. Even with their new streamlined processes, they’ve only been able to cut that in half in the past year, and 200 to 300 new complaints are filed annually.

“We pretty much have to go all the way through the court system to get a zoning violation corrected,” he says.

Ahonen adds, “That takes time.”

“People get used to things a certain way,” Ahonen explains as he peers over the fence at the mess. “They don’t necessarily see that it can be a problem for people in their neighborhood.”

Despite the cluttered state of the yard, Ahonen actually sees improvement. “We’re down

Ahonen has been working on this site since February. Despite the slow pace of change, he describes this owner as “very cooperative,” and says he’s probably moving as fast as he can to get rid of the cars.

McKnight, who has accompanied the inspector on this visit, says in a case like this neighbors may think the city is doing nothing with a complaint,

Violations of the city’s Minimum Housing Ordinance are easier to resolve because they involve more immediate health and safety issues. Minimum Housing covers all the city’s rental units.

tions that are scheduled with landlords in advance; tenants are required by law to have at least 48 hours notice.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important because inspectors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just cite landlords; they can also fine irresponsible tenants for not maintaining the property properly. Landlords who skip those inspections can be charged an additional $60 fee.

If need be, code enforcement officers can obtain a search warrant to proceed.

Despite the cluttered state of the yard, Ahonen actually sees improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down from seven cars to four,â&#x20AC;? he notes.

photocopy of Chapter 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our bible,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Coutrayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destination is a duplex in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeside neighborhood, near the General Dynamics plant. While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting for the owner to arrive, he walks the perimeter of the building and eyes its exterior.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for holes in the walls and cracks in the windows or the foundation. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s checking the condition of the paint and the wood trim. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noting the condition of the porches and steps.

When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, he says everything looks fine. Then the landlord invites him inside.

Coutrayer scopes out the living room walls and checks the fan in the bathroom as the landlord explains that the unit has recently been gutted and remodeled. Indeed, the trim and the paint job look great.

SEVEN DAYS | may 03-10, 2006 | feature 39A

Next Coutrayer descends into the basement, where he finds a laundry basket and a full recycling bin abutting the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boiler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell your tenant they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store stuff around the heating system,â&#x20AC;? he says. After testing the smoke detectors and checking the second floor, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all Coutrayer can find to say about the first unit.

The second apartment is another story. At first, the inspector seems pleased with the condition of the place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as nice as the other half of the duplex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the owner says he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a chance to renovate it yet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the windows and walls meet Coutrayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval. He spots an extension cord and checks to see if the landlord has provided a surge protector. He has.

When the two descend the stairs to the basement, Coutrayer again reminds the landlord about storing items too close to the heating system.

Then he sees the smoke detector. The building is fitted with detectors that are hardwired into the electrical system, but the faceplate for the one in the basement has been removed.

Wires dangle recklessly from the base. Coutrayer shakes his head. Tampering with smoke detectors is illegal.

When the inspector climbs the stairs to the second floor, he peers into a room with two twin beds. Judging by the colorful sheets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom. That detectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out, too.

He checks all the rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh,â&#x20AC;? he murmurs somberly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good.â&#x20AC;? The landlord absorbs the news stoically, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not too pleased to find his investment so blatantly unprotected.

When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through with the inspection, Coutrayer pulls a pink flyer from his backpack and leaves it on one of the placemats on the tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kitchen table. The flyer explains that tenants who disable smoke detectors can be fined $1000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; per offense. In other words, these folks could get slapped with a $5000 fine.

Coutrayer tells the landlord the tenants have 24 hours to get the detectors back on line. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll return for a follow-up inspection on Monday to be sure the problem has been fixed.

And what if the fix is only temporary? Coutrayer warns that next time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruising around the neighborhood in his white Malibu, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop by for a surprise inspection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drive up, show â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em my badge, and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just got to make sure the smokes are in,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I come on a surprise visit and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fined.â&#x20AC;?

Sure makes him sound a lot like a cop. m

ome evangelical Christians claim to be “in the world, not of it.” Substitute “Burlington” for the “world,” and the same could be said about musical ascetics Carrigan. The band — formed in 2000 as a loosely tethered, if sonically expansive, duo — remain something of a mystery to local scenesters.

Shortly into their career, Carrigan blossomed into a rock-oriented four-piece. With the departure of two members in 2003, songwriter Zach Martin and drummer Ken Johnson nearly called it a day. Instead, they threw away their musical blueprint, embracing the two-piece format. But fans were left largely in the dark: The re-configuration happened behind the scenes, with only the occasional performance to hint at the group’s continued existence.

That self-imposed exile is about to come to an end. With a release party this week for their excellent sophomore disc, Young Men Never Die, Carrigan are poised to ditch their dark-horse reputation once and for all.

Duos are seemingly ubiquitous in the rock world these days — The White Stripes and Black Keys immediately come to mind.

But where those acts rely on bare-bones primitivism, Carrigan musters a massively layered sound. Martin, 25, is a formidable multi-instrumentalist, often playing guitar, keys and/or vibraphone at the same time. In addition, he triggers sundry effects and samples. Oh, and he sings, too.

Johnson, 29, is likewise capable, handling both percussion chores and electronics.

Despite the gadgetry, Carrigan’s music — which ranges from backbeat-heavy space rock to fractured electro-ballads — doesn’t sound sterile. “It’s actually more organic

moniker, which happens to be Martin’s middle name. “I guess we can give up on keeping that a secret,” he jokes. “We had a bunch of names on the table, and they were all pretty ridiculous. We decided to give the band a nice-sounding name, with nothing behind it.” Nothing, that is, except genealogy. The group has received emails from a number of individuals with the surname Carrigan who ask what the deal is. “We’ve had several come through our website,” Johnson divulges. “At this point they rival our fan mail.”

With a fully functional lineup, the band began performing live, releasing a self-titled EP on Johnson’s So Good Music label in 2001. Things went well, as local and national listeners swooned over Carrigan’s wordless soundscapes. “Then we radically changed again,” says Martin.

As he became more interested in writing tunes with vocals, Martin’s bassist jumped ship. Says Interlandi: “I have a strong penchant for instrumental music, and the inclusion of vocals wasn’t totally appealing to me at the time. I’m more impressed with Zack’s singing now.”

It was an amicable departure; Interlandi will even sit in on a few tunes at the upcoming release party. “The other day, Jeb came down to work on some stuff, and we played a new song,” Johnson says. “And what came out sounded almost like it could have been on the old EP. I think that’s a testament to the huge role he played during that era of the band.”

Losing a key member was difficult, but Carrigan soldiered on, drafting exDrowningman low-ender Dave Barnett and

than it’s ever been,” Johnson relates. “We owe a lot of it to the fact that we’re a twopiece. It’s so much easier to go into the rehearsal space, start making noises, and let the song bubble up out of nothing.”

Carrigan began as an unnamed collaboration between Martin and bassist Jeb Interlandi, longtime friends who grew up in South Hero. With an ear to the post-rock sounds of late-’90s Chicago, the two explored new musical ideas. UVM grad Johnson joined in 2001, bringing a complementary rhythmic perspective. At that point, the band’s highly textural instrumentals had only begun to take shape. But even then Martin anticipated change. “I knew that I wanted to eventually incorporate other kinds of songwriting, including vocals,” he explains. “But it was a good place to start.”

Around that time the band chose its

ex-Cancer Conspiracy guitarist Daryl Rabidoux to flesh out their sound. This incarnation of the group veered towards epic rock, à la Radiohead and vintage U2. “It was a strange point for us,” Martin recalls.

“We got a lot of gigs, because it was a more conventional sound. But I wasn’t completely satisfied with the material.”

There were also problems within the group. Rabidoux, who now co-owns a local recording studio, eventually opted out of Carrigan to pursue his production interests.

“Personal issues” drove Barnett from the fold not long after. With two members gone, the situation deteriorated rapidly. “It was a crash-and-burn scenario,” Johnson recalls. “We thought the band was over.”

For all intents and purposes, it was. Still, Martin and Johnson had a keen interest in performing together — they just weren’t

sure how. “When we first started as a duo, it was for a once-a-week improv gig at [the now-defunct] Waiting Room,” Martin explains.

“We tried that, but it wasn’t really working. ‘Jamband’ is kind of a blacklisted word to us. So when we went to practice for the show, we naturally started writing a song. And we weren’t about to stop doing that.”

Although their music has origins in spontaneous noisemaking, Carrigan’s arrangements are meticulous and, in some cases, ongoing. Martin describes the process: “There’s a general idea of what we want as a framework,” he says. “Then we establish the changes, to make it fluid. While we’re doing that we make notes about what kind of sounds and samples we eventually want to color it with. We play songs live that aren’t quite finished; they continue to grow.”

This open-ended approach is largely responsible for the long gestation of Young Men Never Die. Martin shrugs off the delay.

“First of all, for people out of state, it’s just another recorded album,” he says. “It could’ve been done in three weeks. But our friends know that it’s been like, a couple years.”

It’s obvious the album isn’t a rush job. Engineered and co-produced by Rabidoux, Young Men has a sonic lushness that exceeds most local releases. Each musical passage sounds remarkably considered, probably because it was.

“There was definitely indecision in the recording side of things,” Martin explains. “I think we rushed it in the beginning, so there was a lot of backtracking.

We finally had a framework after a year and a half. That’s when we really said, ‘OK — let’s do it.’”

In periods of inactivity, though, frustration built. “For a time, it was a very bad experi-

ence,” Johnson admits. “A lot of it was left out of my hands, because I had already done my parts.” In a two-piece band, blame can’t be spread very far. “I understood that what was left — the melodic aspects of the album — were almost entirely in Zach’s hands,” he continues. “It was kind of soul-rending.”

Not recording in a conventional studio can be liberating, but without deadlines and time constraints, things can easily get out of hand. “You can refine it forever, and never be happy with anything you’ve done,” Johnson explains. “We were sort of stuck in that loop for a while. But then one day, the fog lifted. For whatever reason — and Zach still hasn’t told me what it was — he became really committed, and started working every spare minute to get the thing done.”

During the studio sessions, Carrigan all but disappeared from public view. This wasn’t just due to their recording commitments.

“In Burlington, you can get to a point where you’re making decent money playing shows, because people know what to expect,” Martin says. “I think that can be very damaging to a band. We strive not to wear out our welcome. It’s as important to spend time writing new material and perfecting it as it is playing shows for friends. We like playing here, and people treat us really well.

But we also try to set our sights outside of town. I’ve always said that Burlington is a great place to live, but an even better place to come home to.”

With the release of Young Men, Carrigan are primed to deliver their music to new audiences. “Now that we have the album to support, we’ll be getting out more,” Martin says.

“We’re no longer ‘the band behind the curtain.’” m

GOING APE

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to happen at least a few times a month: too many shows, not enough time. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much action on a Sunday night. Well, I might as well announce it now: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sopranosâ&#x20AC;? night at Casa de Casey is cancelled.

Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1/2 Lounge is hosting a series of performances with â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrityâ&#x20AC;? curators, and the first one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with yours truly presenting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kicks off this Sunday at 9 p.m. Think the All Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parties festival, but much, much smaller. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually still trying to come up with a snappy title. Feel free to email me if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one.

Anyway, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invited a couple of acts to perform. Farm is a St. Albans-based trio with a hazy, indiefolk vibe. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve yet to see them live, but I did review their disc a while back. At that point, I called their music an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intoxicating mix of the everyday and the idyllic.â&#x20AC;?

Hope they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone techno.

Austin Sirch is a young, central Vermont-based songwriter who has likewise impressed me. His psychedelic folk tunes make me dream of a better tomorrow.

Well, maybe not. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly pretty. So come on by and help get the series off the ground.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also hoping to catch at least some of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renaissance rockâ&#x20AC;? band Faun Fables at the Higher Ground Ballroom. And I might just make it: The freaky, San Francisco-based act goes on at 8 p.m. I really enjoyed bandleader Dawn â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Faunâ&#x20AC;? McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo performance at HG a few months back. This time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing a full band, including Nils Frykdahl of avant-rockers Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. If you want to know more, check out my review of Faun Fablesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new disc, The Transit Rider, on page 49A. Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monkey House is usually closed on Sundays, but is making an exception for New Orleans-based trio Drums and Tuba, who will be joined by locals The Cave Bees and Ryan Power & the Prons. D&T are definitely an interesting group. Signed to Ani DiFrancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Righteous Babe Records, they employ sundry samplers and electronics in music that runs from hypnotic downtempo to slippery neo-prog. And yes, there is a tuba. The $5 show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably miss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; starts at 8:30 p.m.

So much for a day of rest.

On Wednesday, May 10, Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Metronome welcomes Cirque du Singe BrisĂŠ â&#x20AC;&#x201D; known in English as the Circus of the Shattered Monkey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; back to town for an evening of entertainment.

A Massachusetts-based touring collective, Cirque features a revolving cast of indie musicians and artists. Rich Van Vleet, the cousin of reclusive avant-rock legend Captain Beefheart, founded the organization in 2004 to help showcase performers â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the fringe.â&#x20AC;? His crew has been staging â&#x20AC;&#x153;executionsâ&#x20AC;? around New England ever since.

Headlining the Metronome show are The Mammals, whose ranks include the grandson of the legFARM endary Pete Seeger, as well as the daughter of fiddle maestro Jay Ungar.

Those are some tight genes.

TWINEMEN Also on the bill is local â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark popâ&#x20AC;? songwriter Sean Altrui, who will be joined by bassist Aram Bedrosian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to put together a cover of Beefheartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wellâ&#x20AC;? from Trout Mask Replica,â&#x20AC;?

Altrui told me. Nothing like a challenge.

But wait, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more: Boston-based singer-songwriter Ryan Fitzsimmons, Appalachia-goes-Afrobeat act Sugarblue, old-time enthusiasts Hammer & Saw, experimental bluegrass band The Gray Sky Girls and Cirque regulars Hypaspace will all perform.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to shatter anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monkey. The $12 show kicks off at 7 p.m. Check out http://www.TheShatteredMonkey.com for sound clips and info.

UNWOUND & RE-WOUND When I moved to Vermont in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, one of the first things I did was check out my local music shop, Pure Pop Records. I can still recall the CDs I purchased: a used copy of The Doorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; L.A. Woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my cassette was beyond busted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Good, an album by a littleknown Boston trio called Morphine.

The Doors disc collected dust (how many times did I really need to hear â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riders on the Stormâ&#x20AC;??) but Morphine became a serious, umm,

habit. Something about the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noir saxophone and ominous bass grooves kept me coming back for more.

I remained a fan long after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been overshadowed by the decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grungier acts.

When Morphine front man and chief songwriter Mark Sandman died of a heart attack onstage in 1999, I was shocked and bummed.

Undoubtedly, so were his bandmates. In tribute to their fallen comrade, remaining members Dana Colley and Billy Conway convened Orchestra Morphine, a nine-piece touring band. Some time after, the two formed a new group, Twinemen, with vocalist Laurie Sargent, formerly of Beantown New-Wavers Face to Face.

Twinemen have two discs to their credit, with a third to be released this year. As expected, there are some similarities to Morphine. The thick, baritone sax and spare percussion will be familiar to fans of the old group. But Twinemen arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as dark; some songs could even be called upbeat.

The band will swing through Vermont for two dates this week: at Bradfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Middle Earth Music Hall on Thursday, May 4, and the Red Square in Burlington the following evening. Check out http://www.twinemen.com to get a taste of their sound.

MOB RULES After months of silence, I recently heard from Turkey Bouillon Mafia keys man Adam King. I admit, I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really been that worried. Still, is it so hard to drop a line?

Seems that King and his crew have been touring their asses off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been killing it in New York City, Philly and the rest of New England lately,â&#x20AC;? King reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also playing the main stage at [Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] Dancing Wu Li Festival on May 20.â&#x20AC;? Who names these festivals, anyway? TBM will have plenty of jammy company at the gig: Steve Kimock, Keller Williams and Blues Traveler are also scheduled to appear. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a swell guy, Adam, but those other acts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a damn thing for me.

The Mafia will play their first B-Town gig since New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Saturday, May 6. Joining them are funk-rock-world act Twiddle, from Hubbardton, Vermont, and Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop-rock piano man Zac Clark. Full disclosure: I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know there was a town called Hubbardton.

At any rate, King sounds psyched for the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of the semester for the kiddies, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely the coolest thing going on that anyone would want to be a part of.â&#x20AC;? Cooler than keg stands? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave that at a strong maybe. m

KEYS TO THE KINGDOM :: From Thelonious Monk to Brad Mehldau, jazz music has seen its share of stellar pianists. A great among greats is

Ahmad Jamal, whose fluid phrasing and minimalist bent influenced the legendary Miles Davis. Approaching his trio as an

orchestra, Jamal invented a new musical vocabulary. Even after more than 50 years of performance, he continues to inspire. Jamal kicks off the 23rd 2x2-lakeshore032906 3/27/06 AMFlynn Page 1 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival with a 11:19 must-see MainStage performance on Friday, June 2.

reviewthis FAUN FABLES, THE TRANSIT RIDER

THE AZTEXT, HAVEN’T YOU HEARD? (AZT Records, CD)

(Drag City, CD)

It’s official: The Queen City is in the middle of a hip-hop boom. Over the last couple of years, Burlington’s rappers and DJs have raised the bar for homegrown “urban” music. Make room for The Aztext, whose excellent Haven’t You Heard is destined to become a local hip-hop classic.

Featuring the microphone talents of Pro and Learic, The Aztext trade in alliterative rhymes with more twists and turns than 89 South.

Following an obligatory introduction, the disc kicks into gear with “It’s True,” a track also featured on the recent compilation Greetings From Vermont. Tough yet tuneful, the song boasts bluesy, sampled piano and an articulate flow.

“Breakthrough” is loaded with good-natured braggadocio. In keeping with hip-hop tradition, the duo spends plenty of time cataloguing their skills. But their rapid-fire lyrics break from the norm, glorifying musical integrity over commercial success.

“Learn to Talk,” looks at self-identity through a Québecois lens. “Growin’ up a half-American/Canadian kid, I never knew home sweet home, that’s just the way that it is,” Pro states. “Thinkin’ in French, speaking in English and playin’ with kids / Who did the opposite, and know what they was sayin’ and shit.” It isn’t your average street narrative. But, as the advice goes, write what you know.

“You Is You” takes president Bush to task for the administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina. “We got a crisis in the making, lots of lives are being taken / I’m sorry the president had to return early from vacation,” the rappers chide. “Where were you when they needed you? / Oh, you can send 18-year-olds to Iraq to get killed but can’t protect your own red, white and blue?” Sadly, the questions are still relevant.

“Better Act Like You Know” is a ready-made club banger. Again, the lyrics reflect the ethics of the underground. “Soon as you’re major then they say, ‘don’t go against the grain’ / So I decided if it happens, I’ll just let it rain,” the MCs proudly declare.

Indie hip-hop star Wordsworth pops by for the title track, a spicy cut with a coarse guitar sample and ball-busting beat. Things (literally) go south on “This Right Here,” which features a slow-motion groove straight out of cough syrup-happy Houston.

Chances are The Aztext won’t be asking Haven’t You Heard? for much longer. Their CD release party takes place at Nectar’s on Tuesday, May 9.

Faun Fables are the brainchildren of San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Dawn “The Faun” McCarthy. Accompanied by a revolving cast of players, McCarthy delivers songs loaded with passionate, pagan imagery. FF’s latest disc, The Transit Rider, is the musical equivalent of staring into cat’s eyes: intriguing, if somewhat unnerving.

The group owes a good deal to the psych-folk practitioners of yore. Wordy surrealists Pearls Before Swine are touchstones, as are British occultniks Current 93.

Influences aside, Faun Fables’ knotty compo-

sitions are enchanting on their own.

McCarthy’s untamed vocals are like a cross between indie songstress Cat Power and Heart’s Ann Wilson. Alone, her flight-of-fancy melodies are interesting. When accompanied by frequent collaborator Nils Frykdahl’s canny baritone, they’re positively riveting.

“I am a transit rider, comings and goings are all the same,” McCarthy sings on the haunting “Transit Theme.” Her quasi-mystical prose is accompanied by chiming acoustic guitar, autoharp and spare percussion. The tune’s minor-key lilt and witchy charm plays like make-out music for randy heathens.

Despite its seductive arrangement, “In Speed” is thornier. “Who cares about you — if you live or die,” McCarthy coos over baroque instrumentation. Frykdahl answers with an outcast’s contempt: “All I need is me and my thoughts . . . You’ve got a nail through your heart? I’d say you’ve got a nail through your soul.” Somebody’s been drinking sour mead.

“Roadkill” makes no attempt to hide the band’s disdain for the modern world. In it, Frykdahl laments an automobile-felled coyote. “I am free to go my way while you are left there broken / With only burning Father Sun to grieve and bleach your bones as white as the moon,” he sings. Wait till they put in a Starbucks.

“Fire & Castration” celebrates folksy amulets and homemade charms. According to the disc’s liner notes, the tune comes from an ailing friend of Frykdahl’s now-deceased brother. “She gave us the lyrics in one astonishing burst of iron-clad logic,” Frykdahl explains. While he doesn’t divulge the author’s fate, her sentiment is telling: “The day that they work is the day that you know they weren’t made in vain,” she states.

Those with an aversion to Renaissance fairs will probably want to skip The Transit Rider. But if freethinking idolaters are your cup ’o blood, you’ll love it. Catch Faun Fables at the Higher Ground Ballroom on Sunday, May 7, with Pinback and Pleaseeasar.

The forward-looking quintet combines death metalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fierceness with the complexity of progressive rock. Electronic flourishes and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gasp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; melodic interludes are also part of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brutally articulate sound. And purists can burn: In Flames enjoy strong record sales and an ever-growing fanbase.

OPENINGS

Plane Truth

T EXHIBIT “Breaking Boundaries: Beyond the 2D Barrier,” a group exhibit of mixedmedia works by local artists. South End Arts and Business Association, 180 Flynn Avenue, Burlington.

Through June 1.

ARTWORK “Plane Blue”

by Will Patlove

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he main artistic event of Burlington’s South End Arts and Business Association is its annual South End Art Hop in September, but SEABA also maintains a modest, year-round gallery space in its Flynn Avenue office. The current show, entitled “Breaking Boundaries: Beyond the 2D Barrier,” offers assemblages, shaped canvasses, mixed media and wallinstalled ceramics. The dynamic collection subverts the antiquated notion of two-dimensional work as a “window into space.” SEABA enlisted the brickwalled showroom of its neighboring office — Red Concrete, a producer of artful concrete and stone products — to accommodate large-scale pieces by several of the eight exhibiting artists.

Will Patlove’s shaped canvasses present minimal, geometric imagery. He notes in his artist’s statement: “My work is and always has been about paring things down and removing excess.”

Patlove’s paintings are monochromatic, but he bends his picture planes outward, so that shadows tint their surfaces. To create the white acrylic “Second Time,” canvas was stretched over a protrusion at far right, allowing a gray shadow to slope off its edge. “Plane Blue” portrays a trapezoid, but the shape’s lower left corner is raised. This makes the medi-

um-blue trapezoid appear to float above the light-blue ground.

Tabbatha Henry’s ceramics are more about truth in materials than illusion.

Her “Four Ways of Being” and “Solitaire” wall sculptures, hung in the Red Concrete showroom, are constructed from red and black clay and porcelain. Henry describes them as “exploring the elements of time, heat and pressure, and their roles in ceramics, the landscape and ourselves.” Each of the five rectangular horizontals are about 3 feet long and made to the specific proportions, Henry explains, of “the Golden Rectangle,” whose ratios are found repeatedly in nature. Perhaps those proportions are what impart an air of mystery to her works. “Four Ways of Being” is a series of four individual black rectangles with central white areas.

“Solitaire” is a singular white rectangle with black at its center.

Gary Godberson takes a totally different approach to ceramics. His pointed yet humorous terra-cotta pieces are representational, like three-dimensional caricatures. “Gen. Tommy Franks” is a 2002 work with three quizzical busts on a shelf labeled “Surprise,” “Shock” and “Awe.” A missile passes through them, as in three frames of a comic. Indeed,

Godberson suggests that bringing his cartoonish sculptures into three dimensions gives their subject matter “more permanence.”

Godberson’s 2005 “Things I Think About While Waiting at Traffic Lights” lampoons the popular “Support Our Troops” magnetic yellow ribbons. He drew the outline of a car on the wall and festooned it with six ceramic ribbons bearing slogans such as “Support my selfish lifestyle” and “Support greedy politicians who lie.”

Lori Hinrichsen’s three mixed-media wall pieces are untitled; their materials are silk organza and cotton hand-dyed with logwood and osage orange, silk-screened imagery, digital photographs, text on fabric, hand-stitched markings and bamboo.

The silk organza is a gossamer fabric that forms a sheer veil over square sheets of fabric hung from bamboo sticks.

Hinrichsen printed images of trees and branches onto inner layers of cloth, and added texts such as “This moment is my home.”

Modern physicists are pondering the theory that there may be as many as 11 dimensions in our universe. This SEABA exhibit goes beyond the standard two — who knows what new dimensions future artists might explore? m

theborowitzreport AIRLINES TO STOW PASSENGERS IN OVERHEAD BINS

S

truggling with rising fuel costs and sagging profits, several leading airlines announced today that they would attempt to boost their revenues by stowing passengers in their aircrafts’ overhead bins.

After Airbus announced earlier this week that it was toying with the idea of introducing standing room areas for passengers in the rear of their planes, the airlines decided that the time was right to pitch the idea of stowing passengers in a part of the plane that has customarily been reserved for carry-on luggage.

“Stowing passengers in the overhead bins should allow us to squeeze a few extra dollars out of every flight, and right now, every extra dollar counts,” said Carol Foyler, a spokesperson for the airlines group. “Plus, since they’ll

be stuffed up there for the duration of the flight, we won’t have to give them peanuts.”

While the proposal to stow passengers in the dark, cramped compartments was hailed by the airline industry as a bold innovation, consumer

stow “smaller, more compact passengers,” but said larger passengers could check themselves as luggage and be stored in the cargo hold.

“The only caveat is that if you check yourself as luggage, you are dramatically increasing

Plus, since they’ll be stuffed up there for the duration of the flight, we won’t have to give them peanuts. carol foyler watchdog groups complained that the option of riding in the overhead bins would not be available to tall or obese passengers.

Ms. Foyler acknowledged that the overhead bins would mainly be used to

your chances of being lost forever,” she said.

Elsewhere, President Bush today said that there were signs of progress in Iraq, telling reporters, “It’s not as bad as Nepal.” m

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

United 93 HHHHH

O FLIGHT PLAN Greengrass delivers a respectful and gut-wrenching portrait of passengers who refused to go down without a fight.

ver and over in the weeks leading up to the release of Paul Greengrass’ film I heard morning-show hosts, pundits, interviewers, columnists and critics ask the same question: “Is America ready to see a movie that recreates the harrowing tragedy faced by the passengers and crew of the fourth plane hijacked by terrorists on the morning of September 11th?”

That’s the wrong question. A more pertinent one, I think, would be: “Is there any reason to buy a ticket to Greengrass’ film if you’ve seen Flight 93, a made-for-cable movie depicting the same events and already watched by millions of Americans on A&E since January?” Or, for that matter, The Flight That Fought Back, a Discovery Channel production that aired in September 2005? The answer: There most definitely is. As TV movies go, Flight 93 and The Flight That Fought Back are strong stuff. They are fairly traditional in their approaches, however. A select number of individual passengers are brought into sharp focus. We get to know them as the full horror of their situation becomes clear to them. We listen in on calls they make on cellphones to loved ones. We spend time on the ground with some of the people on the other end of those lines experiencing their disbelief, shock and agonizing sense of helplessness.

United 93 takes an altogether different approach, one informed by the years Greengrass spent as one of England’s top documentary filmmakers (he directed Bloody Sunday, about a day in 1972 when British troops opened fire on unarmed civil-rights demonstrators in Northern Ireland). Before making the movie, the director and his team conducted more than 100 interviews with families and friends of the flight’s 40 passengers and crew, in addition to civilian and military personnel who played a role on that fateful day. He studied The 9/11 Commission Report, transcripts of calls made from the plane and the cockpit recordings. The result is an exercise in cinema verité unlike anything you’ve seen on screen before.

The film’s documentary feel only intensifies the knot of dread that builds in your stomach from its opening scenes, in which the four hijackers prepare themselves in nondescript hotel rooms. The day begins unremarkably. Pilots make small talk as they run through their preflight checks.

Flight attendants catch up with one another and share stories about their families. Passengers gather in the waiting area

reading papers, making calls, and sitting next to the men who would kill them. Once they board the plane, takeoff is delayed and they all wait some more. “Just a normal day at Newark International Airport,” one flight attendant jokes.

Of course, we know what the people on board United Flight 93 didn’t know yet: that this will be unlike any other day. That knowledge gives special meaning to the smallest acts we observe, as well as the most significant.

Without a hint of Hollywood sentimentality, the filmmaker allows us to take in the poignancy of people talking about plans for vacations, business trips and journeys home that will never be. Once in the air, their story unfolds in real time; we marvel at what some of them were able to do with the last 81 minutes of their lives.

One of Greengrass’ masterstrokes is casting unknown performers along with nonactors, many of whom recreate the roles they played in real life on September 11. Among the latter is FAA head Ben Sliney, who started his morning with a routine air-traffic briefing and then watched his screen in disbelief as one plane after another veered off course and ultimately slammed into buildings. His awe in the face of the catastrophe’s scope was equaled only by his shock at the system’s inability to respond to it. On the ground, things were a mess. Chaos, miscommunication and indecision prevented any meaningful coordination between flight controllers, the FAA and the military.

Remarkably, clearer heads prevailed in the air. Under the most paralyzing circumstances imaginable, a handful of men and women pieced together a picture of what had already happened in New York City and Washington, D.C., deduced that their hijackers were on a suicide mission, too, and somehow found the courage to formulate a plan to retake control of the aircraft. No one will ever know exactly what happened after that cockpit door was smashed open. I doubt, though, that anyone will ever provide as likely a scenario as the one Greengrass has pieced together here. This film will leave you drained. It will leave you with an entirely new level of admiration for the passengers who fought back on that flight.

Is America ready for a movie about September 11? The question should be: Is America any more ready for an attack than it was on that day? That’s a question United 93 will leave you pondering long after its credits have rolled. m

sound gear they were lugging around.

Dozens of teens spent 25 days in various locations shooting The After, an original picture premiering at the school’s Mountainview Film Festival from Monday, May 8 through May 12.

The script-free drama, about a girl with family troubles who moves to a new town, will be screened daily.

Language arts teacher Nick Brooks, who directed The After, came up with the idea nine months ago to introduce his students — many of them savvy about live theater — to a new creative endeavor. He also established a festival to showcase the finished film and, through a statewide competition, works by their peers as well.

Brooks reached out to other middle schools, which inspired some 30 cinematic submissions. “It’s very grassroots,” he suggests. “We have about 750 kids coming from places like Shelburne, Charlotte and Jericho.”

Five films will be honored, among

Sideways,” which provides the stepmother’s perspective on a familiar fairytale, is one of two short narratives by Williston students. “We have a lot of comedies,” Brooks notes. “They’re satirical, at the 13-year-old level.”

In addition to coordinating the complex event, he jumped headfirst into fashioning The After with 45 students who volunteered to work on the film.

The school district loaned him professional-quality digital video equipment.

Although the cast had acting experience in plays, the crew encountered a steep learning curve.

“I’d never picked up a camera before,” Brooks acknowledges.

The project, which secured limited rights to songs by Beck and Wilco for the soundtrack, was thoroughly collaborative. “The kids designed the characters, came up with little plot twists, and improvised the dialogue,” Brooks says.

“We did more scenes in January. By the time we got to the editing room, we

Jay Craven’s Disappearances will open the revived Lake Placid Film Forum, which skipped 2005 due to financial constraints. It returns to the picturesque Adirondack hamlet on June 23 and 24. But the scale is going to be much smaller, and fewer luminaries will be on hand than in previous years. Once a four-day extravaganza with more than 100 selections, the latest edition is envisioned as a brief weekend shindig that may present only a handful.

“We’re putting this together in bits and pieces,” says Tim Baker, technical coordinator and fundraiser. “Hopefully, we can still have guest speakers and a panel discussion.”

Venerable New York City critic Kathleen Carroll, a Lake Placid native resuming her responsibilities as artistic director, speculates that less could be more. “This gives us a chance to really focus on each film,” she theorizes. “It

had gotten so big, things were almost out of control. We’ll feel less pressure now.”

Carroll is still looking for festival fare, but here are the five other movies beside Disappearances she has booked so far: • Erykah Badu, Eric Clapton, Branford Marselis and Bonnie Raitt appear in Before the Music Dies, a doc that laments cultural homogenization.

• Secret Courage: The Walter Susskind Story, also nonfiction, concerns a German Jew in Holocaust-era Amsterdam who helped save 1000 children from deportation and extermination.

• So Much So Fast observes a protagonist obsessed with finding a cure for his brother’s ALS. • Man Push Cart is about a Pakistani rock singer in midtown Manhattan reduced to selling coffee and donuts — with bootleg DVD porn on the side.

• Stephen Colbert stars in Strangers With Candy, the tale of an ex-con (Amy Sedaris) who goes back to high school and tries to earn the top prize in a science fair.

If I give you some oats will you talk to me, MR. WHO? MR. WHO can’t see, but he’s got the luck of a baby or a drunk.

Why this feeling? Why this glow? MR. WHO, that’s you.

The doctor just isn’t himself today; he’s morphed into MR. WHO. “Violent payback really hits the spot,” thinks a vengeful MR. WHO. New to child care and domestic chores, MR. WHO had to adjust.

MR. WHO was a Navy cargo officer in the South Pacific.

Lots of married women are still searching for MR. WHO. A long time ago, MR. WHO decided to build his dream house.

SATURDAY 06

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Folk giant Pete Seeger wondered lyrically about America’s young people in his 1960s protest tune “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” but a quick contemporary look at Seeger’s genre suggests the kids are alright.

This Saturday, area youth under 25 play in a showcase of up-and-coming talent. The roster of more than 50 musicians and dancers includes banjola-and-balalaika-playing duo Katie Trautz and Julia Wayne and 20-year-old singer-songwriter Austin Sirch (pictured).

Local musician and teacher Mark Sustic organized the concert, which is part of the Events for Tom series supporting families of children with cancer. The Québec-based nonprofit Young Musicians of the World co-presents.

Expect high-stepping, snappy tunes from whippersnappers.

‘THE YOUNG TRADITION’ Saturday, May 6, McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, 7:30 p.m. $20, free for audience members 25 or younger. Info, 863-5966. http://www.flynntix.org

scene@GLOBAL NIGHT COMMUTE OBSERVATORY FIELD, ST. MICHAELâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COLLEGE, COLCHESTER, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 6:30 P.M. When I pulled into the parking lot at St. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, students were filing down the sidewalk, carrying sleeping bags and backpacks. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been inspired by the documentary Invisible Children, shot two years ago about a humanitarian crisis in Uganda. It depicts kids ages 3 to 17 walking miles each night to sleep in safe houses and avoid being kidnapped by a rebel army operating in the northern part of the country. Tonight, kids all over the U.S. were sleeping outdoors to draw attention to the situation.

Ugandan music wafted across the field as protesters got out pens. I read my info packet, then started writing letters. Some of the provided statistics were hard to believe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were 130 people really killed every day in northern Uganda? In 20 years, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that decimate the population? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I figured a letter might do some good.

I finished my missives to Senators Leahy and Jeffords and President Bush. As I headed towards the podium to post them, three Ugandan women stood up to talk. They worked for the Ugandan government, and had come from Kampala at the invitation of Ralph Gurlach, the Vermont coordinator for the National Day of Prayer. The last speaker, Faith Katana Mirembe, said that the war was pretty much over, that the rebel Joseph Kony in the north had no more children in his army. The children had been reintroduced to their communities. Wait, I thought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what about the stats that I had just written to my senators?

During a Q&A period, someone asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So then, what can I do as an individual to help?â&#x20AC;? The speaker said kids could donate time or money to certified aid organizations with reputable programs in Uganda. However, she warned that people are taking advantage of international aid, seizing and stockpiling goods to build mini-empires.

But frustrated walkers and drivers well-versed in litter-ature have a hands-on way to help: Since 1970, the first Saturday in May has been designated “Green-Up Day,” a statewide pick-up party. Families, neighbors and businesses organize rubber-gloved posses to fill more than 30,000 bags with detritus.

Burlington denizens remove graffiti and garbage citywide, fanning out from Barnes Elementary School and Ethan Allen Park. Montpelier residents purify Hubbard Park, and in Barre, crews sweep streets and prep downtown flowerbeds. Not sure where to go?

ROUND GROUND Move over, Salisbury Plain. Burlington’s about to get its own version of Stonehenge. The standing-stone Burlington Earth Clock encourages viewers to remain grounded in the digital age. Part public sculpture, part timepiece, the circular installation will mark the changing seasons by noting the positions of the sunset throughout the year. Last October’s groundbreaking ceremony placed lake-level stones where monoliths will go this summer.

This weekend a public festival at the site offers face painting, juggling, kite flying, music and a maypole dance. So far, all the calculations for the clock’s construction have been mathematical. But attendees at a separate evening ceremony can verify the alignment of one of the proposed stones as the sun sets over the Adirondacks.

SPRING FEST Saturday, May 6, Blanchard Beach, Burlington, 2-4 p.m. & 7 p.m. until sundown.

FACING THE PAST Art history aficionados joke that the smile wasn’t invented until the 1880s, when faster photography made sitting for shots less arduous. One look at the mugs in the Henry Sheldon Museum’s ongoing exhibit “Face to Face: Vermont Portraits 1795-1930,” and viewers may be inclined to agree. Who were the Addison County movers and shakers profiled in these frames, and who put them there? Jan Albers, the museum’s executive director and the author of Hands on the Land: A History of the Vermont Landscape, offers answers in a talk exploring the exhibit’s 30-plus artworks. Itinerant artists “would basically move in for two to three weeks while they painted the family’s portraits,” she says. “It made for some interesting letters.”

L RE A

MAY 04-10

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): “Any idiot can face a crisis,” said Russian writer Anton Chekhov. “It is the day-to-day living that wears you out.” Your main assignment in the coming weeks, Aries, will be to use your ingenuity to keep from being burned out by the subtle and minor trials of the daily grind. It won’t be as dramatic a challenge as some of the epic travails you dealt with in March, but in my opinion it will be just as heroic.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): New Rule: During the next two weeks, you’re not allowed to think any thought or feel any feeling you’ve experienced a million times before. If you detect one of those stale ingredients bubbling up into the mix, it’s your sacred duty to immediately substitute a fresh-from-the-garden idea or feeling that you’ve never entertained before. It’s the season of novelty, Taurus — time to compost the old ways and revel in raw innocence. Invite the universe to gorge you with virginal blessings.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): In the entire history of the world, there has never been a time that neglects dreams more than ours. Every other culture has paid more attention to the information that’s available to us while we’re sleeping. This ennervating ignorance incurs a personal cost. If you’re one of those who rarely recalls your dreams, you’re suffering a grievous loss of connection with the wisdom of your unconscious mind. And even if you do stay in touch with your dreams, most of the people around you aren’t connected to theirs, and that generates stupendous stupidity. Want to remedy the problem, Gemini? It’s a perfect astrological moment to improve your relationship with the realm where you spend one-third of your life.

Here are a few resources: the book Living Your Dreams by Gayle Delaney; the book Radical Dreaming: Use Your Dreams to Change Your Life

by John Goldhammer; the Lucid Dream Institute (http://www.lucidity.com); dream interpretations

by Jonathan Zap (http://snipurl.com/paar).

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Pathologist Paul Wolf has suggested that some of history’s great artists may have never created their masterpieces if the wonders of modern medicine had been available to them. For example, what if doctors had cured van Gogh’s mental illness with a regimen of drugs like Prozac and Xanax? Maybe he would have been spared the torment that goaded him to the outbursts of genius that erupted on his canvases. It’s an interesting theory — one that I invite you to apply to your own life history. Are there ways in which the very things that have driven you crazy have played a role in your finest accomplishments? This is a perfect time to acknowledge and celebrate that ironic miracle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s talk about the gift that it is your destiny to offer the world. Are you still struggling to figure out what it is? Here’s what storyteller Michael Meade advises: You’ll know it’s the gift you were born to give if your energy is renewed, not exhausted, by giving it. It so happens that the coming weeks will be a perfect time to make dramatic progress in exploring this crucial truth, Leo.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to research done by Forbes magazine, more billionaires are Virgos than any other sign of the zodiac.

A disproportionate 12 percent of the world’s wealthiest people are members of your tribe. I hope this startling fact inspires you to be more proactive in cultivating your natural advantages.

It’s high time for you to prime your cash flow.

Now please promise that you will say the following affirmation three times a day for the next 30 days: “Because I am shrewd, analytical, practical, attentive, and strategic, I possess all the necessary qualities to become wealthier. I am a money magnet. Money is my servant. O monnee gimmee summ.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Espertantina, a town in Brazil, celebrates May 9 as Orgasm Day. As much as I’d love to import this enlightened holiday to my home country of America, it might

Because religious fundamentalists have been spreading their infectious mental disease, seducing people into mistrusting their bodies’ natural urges. Meanwhile, the advertising and entertainment industries try to sell us on the glamour of being in a chronic state of titillation without satisfaction. I’m calling on you Libras to do what you can to resist these cultural trends. The astrological omens say this is an auspicious time for you to seek out, cultivate, and honor your own orgasms.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I have a rabid appreciation for your efforts to make this world a steamier, wilder, more lyrical labyrinth.

Thank you for all the entertaining mysteries you conjure so regularly. You are a true Puzzle Master, both in the sense that you create beautiful enigmas and that you solve seemingly impossible riddles. Having said that, though, I want to beg you to ease up on the drama for a while.

Now and then there come times when you get so heavy and thick with obsessive longing and complicated emotions that you’re in danger of imploding. This is such a moment. So lighten up, please. Consider indulging in the pleasures of harmless fun and frivolous diversions for a few days.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I would never make light of your pain, Sagittarius, but it’s my duty to inform you that you now have a rather amusing opportunity to capitalize on it. You may have heard that “Star Trek” actor William Shatner sold his kidney stone to an online casino for $33,000. In a comparable though perhaps more metaphorical way, I foresee you being able to cash in on or at least make very good use of something that once hurt you very much.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your meditation for the week comes from playwright Bertolt Brecht. “Art is not a mirror held up to reality,” he said, “but a hammer with which to shape it.” This is an excellent idea to keep in

mind even if you’re not a writer, painter, dancer, filmmaker, actor, or musician. What it means is that you now have the duty and opportunity to fully unleash the creator in you. Don’t be satisfied with the world the way it is; don’t sit back and complain about the dead weight of the mediocre status quo. Instead, stir up your curiosity and charisma and expressiveness and lust for life. Then rebuild everything you see so that it’s in greater harmony with the laws of love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. Your assignment in the coming week, Aquarius, is to take inventory of your opinions about the world, and then analyze what they reveal about your character. Here are some questions to guide your explorations.

How do the feelings and theories you carry within you get projected onto the life you find around you? Do your prevailing attitudes help shape the experiences you attract? Is the reality you’ve built in your psyche at least partially responsible for creating the reality you encounter everywhere you go?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Whenever I’m on top of the world and able to see for miles, it’s easier for me to view the big picture of my life. That’s why I rode my bike to the crest of the mountain today. I wanted to meditate on a certain personal problem that has had me stumped.

But when I arrived there after a long ascent, a frigid, relentless wind was blustering so hard that I could barely think. Reluctantly, I came down the mountain and did my meditation in the valley below, where a mild, warmer wind posed no aggravation. There I was able to get the insight I needed. Now I’m passing my lesson on to you, Pisces. You may not be able to accomplish your current goal where you thought you could, but you can do it in a different place. Be flexible about the setting.

Dear Lola, Two years ago I discovered that “Fred,” who’d been my boyfriend for five years, was having sexually explicit Instant Messenger conversations with his best friend’s girlfriend, “Candice,” and masturbating to downloaded photos of her. Fred said he was sorry and promised it would end, but he broke his promise. I wish I’d had the nerve to break up with him then, but I wanted to believe he really was sorry.

Fred and I are still together, and I’m still uncomfortable around Candice. Fred tells me to let it go, and gets angry whenever her name is mentioned. I don’t feel Fred has taken responsibility for his actions. He turns it around every time the subject comes up — as if I’m the one who has a problem. Candice is a good person, and I’m tempted to tell her what I know. What should I do?
