weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Wicked Outdoorsy

IN MEMORIAM I’m writing to share with you a sad but hopeful story about the massacre at Virginia Tech. My good friend, Dan O’Neil, was one of the 32 students that was shot down on April 16 . . . Dan was a wonderful friend and dedicated student and musician. On top of excelling at schoolwork, he was always involved in school activities when we grew up together in Lincoln, RI. His friendship circle crossed many social boundaries and his varied interests in music, drama and athletics introduced him to many new people . . . Dan and I have many memories together from study groups to senior prom, from First Night Boston to hanging out at “The Barn,” our hometown hangout. His life was full of good friends, loving family and many talents. He was a gifted and avid guitarist, who loved the challenge of learning and thrived by teaching himself and others how to play. (His music can be heard on his website: www.residenthippy.com.) To have him taken from this world, at just 22, by a

hideous and terrifying act is just unthinkable. However, in the spirit of Dan’s life, something wonderful has come from this wretched event. A memorial fund has been established in his name . . . By using some of these donations, his friends will produce a CD of Dan’s music to show the world his talent and hopefully generate more funds for the scholarship program. The plan is to award these scholarships to students just like Dan. While Dan was a grad student at VA Tech in engineering, his greatest passion was music. This award will be given yearly to promote the pursuit of many interests — allowing students to study any subject while maintaining their love of music, just like Dan. I greatly appreciate this opportunity to share this story of Dan’s life, death and legacy. To contribute to the fund, please send to: Daniel O’Neil Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 111, Manville, RI 02838. Thank you, and Dan, we miss you. Stephanie Hainley

POWER TO COWER? I am proud of the U.S. House representatives who stood by a resolution to end the Iraq occupation — even though they face certain defeat. Their actions will move the Iraq issue toward a much-needed resolution. They have the courage of their convictions, and history will bear witness to this patriotism. The Vermont Senate, after finally listening to Vermonters, passed an Impeachment Resolution. The Vermont House, even with a near veto-proof plurality, appears to cower from that collective power. On April 28, Peter Freyne’s blog [“Freyneland”] included a letter from Ms. Symington to Ms. Pelosi concerning the Impeachment Resolution. Perhaps her letter should have included a plea asking Ms. Pelosi to infuse her with will power; perhaps a metaphorical infusion of Pelosi’s spine could be installed in Ms. Symington! We Vermonters overwhelmingly gave the Vermont House a plurality and expect them to seize that power and take action on our behalf. I admire Peter Shumlin, who had the courage to reverse his former opinion on impeachment; history will record his courage, and the electorate will reward leaders who lead. Donna Constantineau

LAWN GONE Thanks for Suzanne Podhaizer’s article “Eatin’ the Outdoors� [May 2]. It’s great to get the word out about edible land-

scapes. In Burlington now we have several food forest gardens (including kiwis, pawpaws and persimmons) that have replaced lawns. We’re all part of the national “Food Not Lawns� movement. This summer, neighbors will be creating a food forest garden in the Old North End. Go to growteam@yahoo.com if you want to get involved. As the article says, it doesn’t take many acres to make a productive landscape. Let’s all join in this creation of a sustainable future for

our children and grandchildren. Sophie Quest SOUTH BURLINGTON

LISTEN UP I’ve had the privilege of hearing Iraq war veterans Drew Cameron and Matt Howard speak about their experiences [“Peace Talks, April 25]. They are intelligent, thoughtful and powerful speakers. At each event, the audience is spellbound. My hope is that they can be attracted to politics, to a broader

public forum. We need to hear from them about the past and for our future. Irene Horbar CHARLOTTE

FREYNE’S PAIN He is frequently self-important and puerile in nicknaming public figures, but I enjoy Peter Freyne’s columns. They are sometimes amusing and bring me up to speed on what the extreme Left is thinking — or not. Apart from promoting impeachment of the commander in a time of war, his wackiness reached a new high [“Inside Track,� April 25] blaming his cancer on the loss of hope due to the administration and global warming. Everyone has friends and family who have battled cancer and won or lost. I certainly wish him luck in his fight, but it makes poor journalism and dishonest commentary. Ted Ross WATERBURY CENTER

CORRECT “CONSERVATION� Thank you for reporting on the edible landscape movement in Vermont and our work at Whole Systems Design [“Eatin’ the Outdoors,� May 2]. We would like to clarify the statement “Falk, Blazewicz and Shanks are frustrated by the practice of setting aside acres of forest land to be ‘conserved’ and ‘preserved.’�

On the contrary, we are ardent supporters of designating lands as wilderness. What we are frustrated by is the lack of interest in regenerating land along with preserving land. We believe that land preservation and land regeneration should happen simultaneously and that they are actually part of the same process. In fact, it seems apparent that only through regenerative development — using land in a way that provisions the human community while also providing other ecosystem services — will we be able to reliably set any areas aside as unmanaged/wild lands for the future. In many ways “preserved� land in the first world is made possible only at a cost of poorly used land in the second/third world. Our remote resource base allows the local landscape to be “preserved� artificially. How much land could we “preserve� if we were living on local resources? That depends on how regenerative our land use is. Michael Blazewicz, Ben Falk, Chris Shanks MORETOWN

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

CHARLOTTE — As potential subdivision sites grow scarcer in Chittenden County, conflicts between current residents and housing developers are becoming more common as well as more heated. One such controversy in Charlotte predictably centers on the flashpoint of environmental protection. Not so typically, however, green concerns are being invoked by both sides in this showdown. Peter Schneider and Jessica Donavan, a Burlington couple, are proposing to build an eight-home development on their 52-acre Pease Mountain property behind

“It’s not a NIMBY thing,” insists Jan Schwarz, who has lived adjacent to the site for the past 14 years. “If I were living anywhere else in Charlotte, I’d still be furious at what might happen to one of the few relatively undisturbed areas in the town accessible to the public.” Schwarz and Pat Robar, another neighboring property owner, both say they base their opposition to the proposed development primarily on the damage it would do to wildlife on Pease Mountain. The two women enumerated potentially affected species during one of

parties say projects with which he is associated often draw intensive scrutiny because of his high profile. Organic tomato farmer David Miskell is also on the project’s payroll. Schneider and Donavan don’t qualify as rapacious villains, Hinsdale argues. “I happen to think the town won the lottery when these two people bought that property,” he says. “Peter and Jessie have never shut off access to their land, even though strategically that would be the smartest thing for them to do.” Schneider works as a green-

the Charlotte Central School. Town planners have designated the site, which is more of a hill than a mountain, as one of Charlotte’s many “areas of high public value,” because of its wetlands, wildlife habitats, clay plain forest and stone outcroppings. Citing these natural features, a few nearby homeowners and other Charlotte residents are denouncing the project through a website (save peasemountain.com) and in detailed arguments before town boards.

their regular hikes on a trail that runs through the site. Bobcats live here, they said, in addition to turkeys, fox, deer, owls, ravens and hawks. “It’s a little Noah’s Ark up there,” agrees Clark Hinsdale III. A member of a Charlotte family with extensive local land holdings, Hinsdale has been hired by Schneider and Donavan to help them obtain local and state permits for the project. Both sides of the debate acknowledge Hinsdale’s expertise in land-use regulations. But independent

building consultant for the Vermont Energy Investment Corp.

ELECTIONS

IRV Bill Kindles Election Debate

“Happy Mother’s Day!” – F RANKIE &

BY MIKE IVES

MONTPELIER — Big surprise: Senator Hinda Miller (DChittenden) voted against the Senate bill (S.108) that would implement instant runoff voting (IRV) for Vermont’s three elected congressional members. Miller lost Burlington’s 2006 mayoral race to Bob Kiss in a history-making demonstration of the preferential vote-tallying system. Burlington became the third city in the U.S. to count voters’ second-choice candidates. S.108 passed the Senate, 1513, on April 26. It currently sits in the House Government Operations committee. In February, House reps had crafted a bill of their own, H.196, which is more expansive. H.196 suggests that IRV be used in the election of five additional statewide offices, including governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state. That bill would also implement IRV for the election of U.S. president and vice president. Proponents of IRV argue that the system encourages thirdparty candidates on both sides of the political spectrum. Both Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressman Peter Welch have testified at the Statehouse in support of IRV. Opponents count-

IRV is required. But if candidate A wins 40 percent of votes, B wins 35 percent, and C wins 25 percent, no candidate claims victory in the first round of voting. In the second round, Candidate C is eliminated, but his or her votes “run off” to his supporters’ second-choice candidates — either A or B. The runoff process repeats until one candidate receives a majority of votes. The system has been implemented sporadically in American cities — by Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1997 and San Francisco, California, in 2004. IRV has been approved, but not enacted, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Oakland, California. If S.108 passes the House, Vermont would become the first state in the nation to elect its congressional delegates with IRV. Senator Miller asserts that IRV is not only confusing but would be expensive to implement — a poor use of taxpayer dollars. She says some legislators are estimating IRV’s cost at “close to a million dollars.” That speculation was fueled by a March 7 IRV feasibility study published by Secretary of State Deb Markowitz — hers is one of

election lawyer from Chicago, proposes a different logic. He studied IRV while serving a fouryear term as general counsel for Fair Vote, a Maryland-based IRV advocacy group. Johnson-Weinberger points out that under current law, when a Vermont candidate doesn’t receive a majority, the vote goes to the general assembly. In other words, the concept of a “runoff election” is as old as Vermont’s constitution: Thirty-five percent of federal and statewide races in Vermont history did not result in a majority. The most recent case occurred in 1998, when Vermont’s general assembly elected Lieutenant Governor Douglas Racine by “runoff.” If IRV passed at the state level in Vermont, according to Johnson-Weinberger, future races in which no candidate claims a majority would be decided in an “instant runoff” election by the voters themselves. He sees this as a more democratic system than a standard “runoff.” “Neither the language . . . of the Vermont constitution, nor the intent of [its] framers, nor the method by which the Vermont Supreme Court has interpreted the Vermont Constitution is any barrier whatsoever to the general

More than 80 percent of Progressives favor IRV; almost half of Republicans gave it a thumbs down. er that the system goes against the “one person, one vote” maxim by undermining traditional campaigning and voting strategies. Speaking for “many legislators,” Miller asks, “Why tinker with [an electoral system] that’s not broken?” Republican Governor Jim Douglas suggests that IRV might defy the Vermont Constitution if expanded to include state offices besides the congressional ones. A 2006 exit poll of 1096 Burlington voters conducted by the Vermont Legislative Research Shop reported that 63.4 percent of Burlington voters “said that they liked the system;” 53.3 percent wanted IRV expanded to all statewide elections. The report also noted that support for IRV seemed to correlate with party affiliations — 80.3 percent of Progressives favor the system; almost half of Republicans gave it a thumbs down, presumably because they perceive it as a threat in a state with multiple parties on the left. IRV has been used in Australian congressional elections for more than 80 years. Most U.S. voters, however, aren’t familiar with it. The best way to understand the process is to see it in action. Three candidates — A, B and C — are competing for a Vermont office. Instead of choosing a single candidate, voters rank multiple candidates in order of preference. If one candidate wins a 50 percent majority of votes, the election is over — no

the statewide offices that could be decided by IRV. The highest cost estimate for the system is $600,000. That figure would apply to an election with “four runoff counts or runoff races” printed on a three-page ballot. According to the report, up to two IRV races could be implemented on a single-page ballot in non-presidential elections. A single “instant” runoff count for a one-ballot election would likely cost between $45,000 and $80,000. For two runoff counts? Between $90,000 and $160,000. For three? Between $135,000 and $240,000. The report also estimates that a voter-education program for IRV would cost between $60,000 and $90,000. House Rep. Chris Pearson (PChittenden) alleges the secretary of state’s cost projections assume a wider implementation of IRV than S.108 does — wide enough so that legislators get “freaked out” by the math. He estimates the associated costs of S.108 at between $100,000 and $200,000. If S.108 passes the House, Governor Douglas could sign the legislation, veto it, or allow it to become law without signing it. Douglas says he won’t commit to any of those options in advance, but maintains that he’s opposed to the concept of IRV on principle. The governor adds that he has “Constitutional questions” about applying IRV to races for governor, lieutenant governor and treasurer. Dan Johnson-Weinberger, an

assembly’s authority to implement IRV,” Johnson-Weinberger claims. Pearson adds that more Vermonters identify with independent, rather than traditional, parties. “I really see this reform as honoring that reality and saying, ‘We want a system that handles more than two voices.’” A pro-IRV election reform advocate in Vermont who requested anonymity suggests that by signing a May 2005 Burlington charter amendment in favor of IRV, Governor Douglas has already expressed approval for the concept of IRV. “If the governor had legislative concerns about the legitimacy of IRV, he was obligated to express them” before signing the charter amendment, the advocate claims, adding that if the governor were to veto the present bill, his decision would suggest a “partisan advantage.” Douglas dismisses the suggestion and claims that he supported IRV in Burlington merely to honor the will of that city’s constituents. There’s “nothing partisan about [my position]; it’s just my point of view,” he notes. The governor admits he hasn’t read the recent Markowitz report — or, for that matter, any of the reports on IRV from inside or outside the U.S. “I’m philosophically opposed to [IRV], so it isn’t a matter of details, reports or arguments,” he stresses. “I think this is the wrong way to go.” �

VT Hosts Legal Clinics for Returning Vets with Traumatic Brain Injuries

You are invited to see the entire botanical jewelry collection.

BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — It’s been called the signature injury of the Iraq War — traumatic brain injury, or TBI for short. As the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan rely increasingly on improvised explosive devices as their weapons of choice, U.S. service members, including Vermont soldiers, are coming home in record numbers with mild to severe cases of TBI, many of which go undiagnosed but will require a lifetime of medical care and other support services. In recognition of this growing problem, Vermont Protection and Advocacy, a federally funded nonprofit agency, is sponsoring four legal clinics around the state to help brain-injured veterans, their families and caregivers better understand their legal rights and entitlements as TBI survivors, from Social Security benefits to Medicaid and Medicaid claims, to their legal protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The clinics, to be held in Colchester, Bennington, White River Junction and St. Albans, will provide free legal advice and referral services with help from the Disability Law Project and the Brain Injury Association of Vermont. The U.S. General Accounting Office estimates that of the nearly 24,000 injured soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, about one-third suffer from TBI. However, accurate statistics on the number of vets with TBI are hard to come by, in part because of medical privacy laws. Some TBI advocates also say it’s because of the government’s unwillingness to disclose the pervasiveness of the problem. In Vermont, the figures for vets with TBI are

mostly anecdotal. Sheila Tourangeau, an information and referral specialist with the Brain Injury Association of Vermont, says she’s heard of at least 20 to 30 diagnosed cases of veterans with TBI, though she admits the number may be much higher. As of last year, it was believed that 600 to 700 Vermont National Guardsmen had suffered some Legal clinics for veterans with TBI will be held at the Family Assistance Center in Colchester on Tuesday, May 13, 4:30–6:30 p.m.; at the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington on Thursday, May 17, 1–3 p.m.; at the VA in White River Junction on May 23, 3–5 p.m.; and at the National Guard Armory in St. Albans on Thursday, May 24 4:30–6:30 p.m. Info: 800-834-7890 x 106.

blast exposure during their deployments, according to data from the state TBI program. But until recently, Tourangeau notes, the VA had no comprehensive program for screening returning vets for TBI. “You may not see the effects [of TBI] for three to six months,â€? she says. “It can take that long, especially coming back from a war zone, where you’re dealing with a lot of stress and PTSD issues. Combine that with a brain injury and you can have some intense issues to deal with.â€? ďż˝

Schneider uses his project’s proximity to the school as another green selling point. “We think this is a great place to concentrate development in Charlotte,� he says. “Hardly any kids can walk now to the Charlotte Central School, but with these homes it’ll be an easy distance on a trail. The kids won’t have to be driven back and forth in automobiles.� Schneider and Donavan, who plan to build a home of their own on the site, have two young children and a third due before the

isn’t a suitable place.� Hinsdale, who helped win permits for the pioneering Ten Stones co-housing development in Charlotte, depicts the Pease Mountain project as having a similarly communal quality. “The only difference is there won’t be a common house� shared by the clustered units, he explains. Schneider favorably contrasts his “community-focused� project to the single homes that have sprouted throughout Charlotte on 5-to-10-acre properties. Ten Stones and Pease Mountain may have similarities in sales prices as well. Schneider intends to sell building lots for $200,000 apiece, with costs of construction bringing the estimated total for a 2000-squarefoot house to $600,000. “You can’t buy much more than a bungalow in Ten Stones for that,� Hinsdale observes.

end of the month. On the pivotal issue of wildlife conservation, Schneider points to the position taken by the University of Vermont, which manages a 180-acre natural area adjacent to his property. “We don’t object to the project as currently configured — provided we can solve the challenge of providing access to the trail,� says Rick Paradis, manager of UVM’s natural areas. While construction of eight homes “may contribute to some fragmentation of the land,� Paradis acknowledges, he believes mitigating measures planned by Schneider and Donavan “should minimize the impact on wildlife.� The planners are weighing various options for rerouting the trail between the school and the natural area. “It should be possible to work something out,� Paradis says. The Charlotte Conservation

Commission offers a much less sanguine assessment of the project. “The proposed eight-unit development basically creates a new hamlet, and creates it inside a Town-designated Critical Wildlife Habitat,â€? the conservation body stated in a recent submission to the Charlotte Planning Commission, which it advises. “Such a hamlet (this level of density) would violate both the spirit and the letter of the Town Plan and land use regulations — since those guiding documents call for the protection (not the destruction) of areas of high public value, and the concentration of growth in existing villages and hamlets (rather than the creation of new ones).â€? Ed Stone, a member of the Charlotte Select Board, describes the Pease Mountain property as “exactly the kind of area that was supposed to be savedâ€? through a conservation fund established by the town 10 years ago. “When this is gone,â€? Stone predicts, “it’s going to rip the heart out of a lot of people.â€? But the majority of Stone’s colleagues don’t see the project as potentially catastrophic. The Select Board voted 3-2 last month to allow construction of an access road running through a wetland area. The town planning commission, which has given the project preliminary approval, will hear additional arguments next month. Once hearings are concluded, the commission will have up to 45 days to debate the project before issuing a final ruling. The losing side is almost certain to appeal at the local level. Given that decisions on needed state permits can be contested as well, it’s likely that many months will pass before this chapter in Chittenden County’s housing-development saga comes to a close. ďż˝

partly through mandated installation of grass-pellet boilers as a renewable energy source. The access road, individual driveways, shared septic system and building lots themselves will account for only 13 of the property’s 52 acres, Schneider adds. “This clustered approach preserves open space and habitat.� Project opponent Robar acknowledges that “No one doubts that [the developers] have some great ideas.

ine,” as in 9 a.m. this Saturday at Hartford High School in White River Junction, Vermont. That’s where and when Vermont’s Democratic U.S. Congressman Peter Welch of nearby Hartland has agreed to spend one hour in a town-meeting setting listening to Vermonters express their support for the impeachment of President George “WMD” Bush and Vice President Dick “America” Cheney. Organizers of the Vermont grassroots pro-impeachment campaign that emerged on March Town Meeting Day — and gained national attention courtesy of the “Doonesbury” cartoon strip — said Tuesday morning their members are unfortunately unable to make the meeting with Welch. Liza Earle, the Richmond nanny/baker, says 9 a.m. is “too early” for a lot of folks to make the drive to White River Junction. She told “Inside Track” they’ve tried to negotiate with Welch’s staff, suggesting to them “any time after 11 a.m. would work. And it doesn’t have to be this Saturday,” she said. “Any time in the next month to six weeks would be fine,” she added. They’d like to be able to promote the meeting more to get a larger turnout. “We want families to be able to go,” said Ms. Earle. Fellow impeachment organizer Jimmy Leas, a South Burlington attorney, told “Inside Track” Tuesday that Rep. Welch’s chief of staff, Tricia Coates, had issued “an ultimatum” to them on Monday. They were told, he said, that the “only time” the congressman could make a meeting would be at 9 this Saturday morning at the Hartford location. “The idea of an ultimatum,” said Leas, “confirms the fact that they don’t really want to do it.” Well, considering the fact that Welchie, like fellow Bush critics and Iraq war opponents U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders, does indeed oppose following the impeachment route, Mr. Leas may have a point. “I’m not sure what their problem is,” said Welch Press Secretary Andrew Savage on Tuesday. He noted Rep. Welch had met with representatives of the proimpeachment group last Saturday and proposed a public meeting for this coming Saturday. They did not object. Plus, Savage noted, Vermonters get up early. And the White River Jct. location “is geographically ideal. It’s between populous Burlington and Chittenden County and the heart of the Town Meeting Day Impeachment effort in Windham County.” “The Congressman,” he said, “is looking for a good turnout and looks forward to hearing from Vermonters who want to voice their opinion.” Well, what did you expect him to say? On Monday, in fact, yours truly crossed paths with Vermont’s congressman at the Professional Firefighters of Vermont gathering in Burlington. Welch said he was “glad to take time” to meet with Vermonters who were concerned about impeachment. (At the time, we were unaware of his inflexibility on scheduling.) He also made it perfectly clear he is not changing his opposition to it.

“For me the fundamental issue is, how do we end this war?”asked Welch. “I Visit our website for current menu: believe it’s through the use of the power of www.paulinescafe.com the purse. And, in fact, I think impeachment would have the potential to prolong LUNCH rather than to shorten the war. It raises a DINNER lot of different questions. I want to end the BRUNCH war. That’s the fundamental goal I have,” 1834 Shelburne Rd. So. Burlington 862-1081 he said, “and my decision on what to do and how to do it is based on my judgment about whether that will shorten the war.” Good answer, eh? 5/8/07 10:24:53 AM But aren’t George W. Bush and Cheney 2x5-paulines050907.indd 1 the Veep worthy of impeachment? “This is not a philosophical question,” replied Welch. “There are real lives of real people at stake here, so for me it’s a very practical question about what’s the best thing to do.” Vermont’s rookie congressman, who just turned 60 on May 2, told us he’s “very proud of the citizen tradition in Vermont of speaking out, and the folks who have been active in the impeachment effort are very much part of that tradition. My own town meeting voted for impeachment,” he noted. “It’s clearly an expression of people’s frustration and, in some cases, outrage at the direction this administration has taken,” said Welchie. “But the bottom-line question for me, and I think most of us, is how do we end the war, and then it’s a judgment call. Should you pursue impeachment? Will that help or not?” But were high crimes and misdemeanors committed or not? “George Bush is the worst president in my lifetime,” answered Welch. “And if you look at what Clinton did, look at what Nixon did, and you compare some of the conduct here, you can make the argument [that impeachable offenses were committed], no question about it,” he said. “But what is the fundamental issue that we face, that’s necessary for us to protect lives [and] 2x5-Leunigs050207.indd 1 4/30/07 4:06:48 PM change the direction of this country on the war in Iraq?” Welch insists the congressional oversight and investigation by the Democrat-controlled Congress over the last four months pan seared & served with will prove effective. an Israeli couscous & “I’ll follow the facts where they lead,” feta salad, wilted baby said Welchie, a lawyer whose law-firm TV ads no doubt helped with the political spinach & kalamata name recognition. “But first we have to get olive tapenade the facts.” To that end, “Inside Track” has learned that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice rsday: has changed her tune on the subpoena she Live Music Thu received two weeks ago from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on ever a cover! which the lone Vermonter in the House sits. 8-10PM • N The House Committee would like to hear Condi testify under oath about preIraq war “intelligence” (assuming there was -Guest Commen any — ha-ha!).

he called them. “But there are two people Congress is not investigating,” he accurately observed, “and that’s Bush and Cheney.” Good point. “We all want the war to end,” said Leas. “And we don’t want Peter [Welch] to be the kind of political figure people think is twofaced. We want to hold him to a higher standard. We want his words and deeds to be consistent.” As for a Vermont Congressional Town Meeting on Impeachment at a time other than 9 a.m. this Saturday, Leas expressed confidence there will be a public meeting with Rep. Welch at some point in the future despite his current take-it-or-leave-it position. Leas reminded us that Vermont Senate President Peter Shumlin and House Speaker Gaye Symington were initially quite firm in declaring “they had absolutely no legislative time whatsoever” to give to the impeachment issue.

It was the Fletcher Free Library. They’d found Volume 4! So, let’s set the record perfectly straight. The Election of 1981 was held on March 3. Incumbent Democrat Gordon Paquette was the heavy favorite — so heavy that Gordie didn’t bother to campaign.

But as impeachment support grew and it became a hot conversation topic among the politically observant, Shummy and the Speaker came to realize that elected officials don’t look too good refusing to meet with the people they allegedly represent and serve. We’ll see if Peter Welch demonstrates similar flexibility with Vermonters who have a hard time stomaching Bush and Cheney living free as birds outside the impeachment spotlight they so richly deserve. Stop the presses! The meeting is on! Late word Tuesday afternoon: Welch’s Chief of Staff Tricia Coates has just informed Ms. Earle the congressman has agreed to reschedule Saturday’s meeting to 11 a.m. “We’re delighted!” said Earle. Historical Find! — It disappeared about 10 years ago — “it” being Volume 4 of the City of Burlington’s official electoral register, the one that includes the historic election of March 1981 when U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders won the first election of his life. Ol’ Bernardo won by a whisker, but the length of that whisker has been an official mystery since around 1996-97, according to Jo LaMarche,

The records include a copy of the restraining order that Superior Court Judge Edwin Amidon Jr. signed at his Charlotte home at 2:10 a.m. on March 4, 1981, that ordered County Sheriff Ronald Duell to “take possession and custody forthwith of all paper ballots.” Ten days later, a closely watched recount was held. Bernie’s 22-vote margin of victory shrunk down to 10, but all he needed was one. Final results, as recorded in Volume 4: Bernard Sanders Gordon Paquette Richard Bove Joe McGrath

And the rest, as they say, is history. Over the years we’ve met more than 10 old-time Burlingtonians who confessed they had not bothered to vote that March 3rd, because they thought Paquette had it comfortably locked up. They did not think the screaming Brooklyn voice had a chance. GOP Jim’s Favorite Union? — One normally doesn’t think of Republican Gov. Jim Douglas as a big fan of the union label, but there is one Vermont union he fancies a great deal: the

Professional Firefighters of Vermont. It represents about 200 full-time professional firefighters from 11 Vermont locals. South Burlington Fire Captain Matt Vinci, for 10 years the union vice president, ascended to the presidency at Monday’s gathering at the new Burlington Marriot. “I feel proud to represent guys and ladies who put the uniform on every day to protect the state of Vermont,” President Vinci told “Inside Track.” Vinci and the “guys and ladies” also got some very good news from Gov. Scissorhands. The guv told them that, despite some earlier misgivings and objections from the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, he will sign S.194 into law when it reaches his gubernatorial desk late this week or next week. That’s the new law that will provide health insurance coverage for retired firefighters who get cancer. Currently, they have to prove the cancer cause was job-related. After Jimbo put ink to paper, the state would have to prove it wasn’t. “We have a high incidence of cancer in the fire service due to carcinogen exposure,” Vinci told “Track.” More than 20 international studies have proven that, he noted. “The VLCT has expressed concern about their workers’ comp rates [rising],” said Gov. Douglas, “but we believe the number of claims on an annual basis is likely to be very minimal. We’ve had a year’s experience now with the heart attack presumption law, and it hasn’t seemed to make any significant difference in terms of premiums, so I believe it’s a reasonable proposal.” Did the Firefighters Union endorsement of Douglas over Democrat Scudder Parker have anything to do with his support? “No one gets everything he or she wants based on political endorsements,” replied the lifelong politician. “I do what’s right for the people of our state.” The bill covers every firefighter in Vermont, noted Vinci, not just professional firefighters.

In fact, this week we had one break, too late for the print edition, involving public charges from one nonprofit of being a Vermont Foodbank “dumping ground.” Let’s face it, a whole lot more is going on out there than we can squeeze into the weekly “Inside Track” space — such as House Speaker Gaye Symington suddenly getting two haircuts!

Bruce Lee action figure with Game of Death suit? A ScoobyDoo tissue box cover? An Executioner High Performance bug zapper? You can find just about anything on eBay. And at the Shelburne Museum this summer, you’ll be able to see what eight “celebrities and artworld experts� collected from the wildly popular online auction site in an ingenious new exhibit that opens May 20. The brainchild of Director Stephan Jost, “Got eBay?� went like this: Find, from “friends of friends of friends� a group of individuals — some of them famous — willing to participate; give them $1000 to spend on eBay; have their purchases (minimum two each) sent to the museum, along with a “collector’s statement�; display each set of objects as a mini collection in the former horse stalls of the Round Barn. At the end of the exhibition, sell off the objects — on eBay, of course. Like many a curatorial experience, this one is down to the wire. Last Friday, museum Marketing & Communitcations Manager Sam Ankerson greeted a reporter’s ’sup with this: “I’m trying to figure out how to set up a PayPal account for Bianca Jagger.� Yep, that would be Mick’s ex. Guess she travels a lot, and her eBay transactions had yet to be made. Jagger is one of the museum’s betterknown instant art collectors in a lineup that also includes comedian Jerry Seinfeld, musician John Lurie, NASCAR driver and Shelburne native Kevin LePage, Vermont Governor Jim Douglas and some cognoscenti from the art and design world. As of last week, too, Seinfeld’s collection had yet to arrive, but Ankerson assured, “It has something to do with his interest in Porsches.� Lounge Lizards founder Lurie, who is also a visual artist and, apparently, a bit of a comedian himself, bought two of his own prints, which he had previously posted on eBay, and some postcards. LePage acquired a motley assortment of items that, Ankerson suggested, “reflect his own interests, such as sports. The miscellany includes a 1960s brochure from the Shelburne Museum itself. And what, Vermonters may wonder, did our guv collect? Vermont memorabilia, much of it to do with politics. Didn’t ask if it was all Republican. Perhaps not surprisingly, the most artful collections came from experts in the field. A pair of designers from Martha Stewart Living magazine took a predictably decorative approach to their shared task: Some 50 to 60 rocks, petrified wood and other geological specimens arrived with a chart specifying how the objects are to be arranged. “It’s color-coordinated,� Ankerson notes. New York art collector Beth DeWoody acquired some Lucite — that is, transparent — furniture for an installation she’s calling “Invisible Room.� It will be dedicated, Ankerson

Some 50 to 60 rocks, petrified wood and other geological specimens arrived with a chart specifying how the objects are to be arranged. art of collecting. “Got eBay?� also connects the Shelburne Museum’s famous, folkier fare with contemporary interests and technology. With this exhibit, Director Jost acknowledges that the human urge to acquire, categorize and display things in groups is universal and ongoing — hence the enormous success of eBay, which pre-sorts the stuff without spoiling the fun of the find. But the exhibit is also purposely planned to lure new, and repeat, viewers to the muse-

mind the newer shows. But seasonal hooks such as “Got eBay?� and “Chandelirious!� — this year’s brilliant installation of quirky, contemporary chandeliers — are aimed to ensure that the Shelburne doesn’t become, well, history.

“Got eBay?� and other exhibitions open May 20 at the Shelburne Museum and are accompanied by special programming throughout the season. For more info, visit www.shelburnemuseum.org.

Indie Bookseller Flying Pig Makes Good Move BY MARGOT HARRISON

“When pigs fly” means, of course, “never,” and in the past few decades, successful independent bookstores have been almost as rare in the Burlington area as airborne swine. So the Flying Pig Bookstore’s name is appropriate, even as it evokes fanciful images from the kids’ books that have been the shop’s mainstay. Many local readers still think of the Flying Pig as a specialty children’s bookstore. But a recent move from Charlotte to the former Shelburne Inn has enabled owners Josie Leavitt and Elizabeth Bluemle to expand their inventory — which, they point out, has included adult titles for the past seven years. “We really wanted to carry more adult books, partly for the customers and partly for ourselves,” says Leavitt. They’ve been expanding in the realm of readings, too. On Friday, May 4, the bookstore hosted Valentino Achak Deng, the “lost boy” of Sudan whose harrowing story Dave Eggers told in his best-selling book What Is the What? Deng was originally scheduled to speak in the store’s new 1000-square-foot Loft. But so many people called to request tickets that the event was moved to the gym of the Shelburne Community School. There, on Friday evening, tall, nattily suited Deng addressed a multi-age audience of about 250. In a commanding, heavily accented voice, he described his immigration to the U.S. and his dismay when he learned why his original flight — scheduled for September 11, 2001 — had been cancelled. While Deng was a polished speaker, there was no mistaking his sincerity as he asked the audience to relate his story to their own lives: “Your problems are minimal, and you can deal with them.”

How did the Flying Pig snag Deng for his only bookstore appearance in Vermont? Bluemle explains, “One of our staff members, Matt Frassica, was an intern at McSweeney’s” — Eggers’ hip, San Francisco-based literary quarterly. Frassica, a recent English M.A. from McGill University, proposed and coordinated the event.

VALENTINO ACHAK DENG

Nowadays, the Flying Pig has a diverse staff of six, ranging from 25-year school library veteran Juanita “JP” Schittina to high school sophomore and fantasy fan Dianne “PJ” Laberge. But in 1996, when the store opened, it was the brainchild of Bluemle and Leavitt, who’d recently arrived from New York City. Both women had left careers in education, but “came up here without jobs planned,” Bluemle recalls. Within two months, she noticed a “For Rent” sign on Charlotte’s former post office. “Because there’s so little in Charlotte that’s for communities, I just immediately wanted that building,” Bluemle says. “About 10 weeks later, we opened the doors to the store.” In their third year, they bought the building. “It was a perfect place to have a bookstore, off the beaten path,” Bluemle says. “But when people

found it, they tended to come back.” Still, the 625-square-foot Charlotte space couldn’t accommodate the needs of a burgeoning business. By moving to Shelburne, Leavitt explains, “we’ve doubled our size.” At the same time, adds Bluemle, “We made a conscious decision to become a general store.” Bluemle says the Flying Pig carries about 40,000 titles, including current adult fiction and nonfiction best-sellers and “a pretty deep backlist of fiction.” Like the local megastores, it offers the “standard adult hardcover discount” of 25 percent off cover price — a surprise to customers who expect independent stores to have boutique prices, she points out. Essex’s 26-year-old Book Rack and Children’s Pages closed just last March. By expanding, is Flying Pig rushing into the breach? Bluemle wouldn’t phrase it quite that way. “We were so sorry to have [The Book Rack] close, because there’s a need for independents,” she says. “I hope that we’re filling some of the needs of those customers.” Flying Pig promises to do that with its roster of upcoming events. On July 20, the store has scheduled “Midnight Muggle Madness” to greet the release of the new Harry Potter book. But many of its guests will appeal to older readers, such as Chris Bohjalian on May 10 and University of Vermont biologist and memoirist Bernd Heinrich on May 15. On May 23, the store will welcome Cape Cod author Peter Abrahams, whom mystery fans know for his cerebral thrillers such as Oblivion and End of Story. Abrahams writes mysteries for kids, too — making him an appropriate guest for a bookstore that now serves old and young alike. �

FILM

Savoy Seeks Funding for “Sci-Fi July”

2x3-ShoeHorn050907.indd 1

5/8/07 10:54:48 AM

BY MARGOT HARRISON

Any science-fiction fan worth his or her popcorn salt has seen classics of the genre such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner — many probably own the DVDs. But how many younger fans have seen these films the way they were intended to be viewed: on a big screen? In an age when repertory movie houses are few and far between, rare are the opportunities to step into a dark room and be dwarfed by the image of a circular space station floating on a field of stars. This summer, the owners of Montpelier’s Savoy Theater hope to change that. “Sci-Fi July” is a proposed series that would bring eight films to the cinema over four weekends in July, with showings on Friday and Saturday at 11 p.m. First, though, the Savoy is seeking some generous donors. A message to the theater’s email list asks its patrons to consider “underwriting an entire film” for $200, or making smaller contributions such as $25 or $50.

Eric Reynolds, an assistant manager and projectionist who’s worked at the Savoy for nearly four years, came up with the idea of “Sci-Fi July.” He explains that the theater works with distribution companies that charge for both rental of the films and copyright permission to show them. While Reynolds says the sci-fi classics in question have been “secured” — that is, they will be available for rental — the Savoy needs more donations to cover the costs. “We’re still hoping more people decide to do some underwriting on this.” The email to theater patrons explains, “This is an experiment for us and will help to gauge interest in possible future, theme-driven film series.” Why start with science fiction? Reynolds admits he’s a fan. “I think since I’ve been working here, I’ve sort of had the idea rolling around in my head,” he says. Savoy owners Rick Winston and Andrea

Serota went for it, in part because “We definitely would like [the series] to tap into a younger audience,” Reynolds explains. While films like 1982’s Tron — which features a live-action video game — may appeal to a slightly different audience from, say, The Lives of Others, Reynolds says “Sci-Fi July” won’t conflict with the Savoy’s art-house reputation. Movies such as Jean-Luc Godard’s Alphaville and Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris remind us that these acclaimed directors took the futuristic genre seriously: “They chose to make science-fiction films at the height of their creative power,” says Reynolds. Will viewers achieve that bigscreen nirvana that older fans remember from their first childhood encounters with Kubrick, et al.? “Some of these films were originally shown on much larger screens than we have,” Reynolds concedes. But, he adds, it’s “still a lot bigger than a TV set.” �

used a chain and a pickup truck to yank an automated teller machine from a market in Pomona, Calif., then loaded the 1500-pound machine into the truck and sped off. Police chased the truck to a dead-end street, where the suspects fled on foot. One got away, but officers found the other, Gregory Daniels, 48, on the ground beside the truck. He couldn’t get up, police Sgt. E. Vasquez noted, because “his prosthetic leg fell off.” • Police searching for a purse-snatcher in Moundsville, W.

Determined to overcome ski masks’ reputation as a disguise for outlaws, Kevin Lambert, 31, started wearing ski masks around Winsted, Conn., and encourages others to wear them in public places. “This isn’t something I do to go out and scare people,” he said, explaining that he got the idea after he was having his picture taken wearing a ski mask outside a store. A passer-by figured the store was being robbed and called police, who charged Lambert with breach of peace. His website (www.crazyskimask.com) is dedicated to “Striving to Keep America Warm by Combating Ski Mask Discrimination.”

question him, his getaway consisted of ducking into a portable toilet. They yelled for him to come out and waited until he did. “A Port-A-Potty is not a good place to hide,” police Chief James Kudlak said after Johnny Snodgrass, 21, was taken into custody. “There’s only one way out.”

Getting the Hang of Capitalism A Chinese court sentenced business executive Wang Zhendong to death for swindling $385 million from more than 10,000 investors in a bogus ant-breeding scheme. Wang had promised returns of up to 60 percent for buying kits of ants and equipment to breed them from him. Some Chinese pay plenty to use ants medicinally. Chinese media reported Wang sold the kits, which cost him $25, for $1300. Authorities recovered only $1.28 million.

Suspicion Confirmed New York state officials admitted that Saratoga Springs State Park has been adding ordinary tap water to its touted “natural mineral water” baths for the past two decades. Some 14,000 customers a year pay $20 to soak in the bubbling springs. The New York Post reported that the state and Xanterra Parks & Resorts, the company that operates the baths, mix heated public drinking water with the chilly carbonated mineral water pumped up from more than 1000 feet below the surface. State parks official Eileen Larrabee insisted the state had received no complaints about mixing the waters but admitted the public hadn’t been told about it. “We need to clarify that practice,” she suggested, although State Sen. Joseph Bruno said the point wasn’t informing

was found, but police Cmdr. Thomas Byrne disclosed that Ebrahimi left several phone messages and a letter complaining he felt “disrespected.”

Witnesses told police in Eau Claire, Wis., that Jared W. Anderson, 20, was watching a “Jackass” movie with some other people when one of the screen characters set fire to his genitals. Anderson, who was drunk, tried to duplicate the stunt by pulling down his pants so Randell D. Peterson, 43, could spray lighter fluid on Anderson’s genitals. When Peterson couldn’t get the fire going, he sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson. Lots more. It worked. Anderson’s genitals, hands and clothing all caught fire. Anderson jumped in the bathtub and put the flames out but was hospitalized with second-degree burns.

Osama the Peacemaker In the Philippines, where winning elections is largely a matter of name recall, a candidate in Lanao del Sur province is running under the name Osama bin Laden. Posters with the explosive moniker in bold letters bear the candidate’s real name, Agakhan Sharief, 35, but he campaigns for Lanao’s legislative council wearing an 18-inch beard, a turban and a neck scarf similar to the other bin Laden’s. Contrary to that image, the Associated Press reported many know Sharief for brokering truces between government troops and Muslim insurgents.

Legal Logic The Welsh government compensated three men who spent a combined 47 years in prison after being wrongly convicted of murder by awarding them a total of $4,332,400. It then withheld 25 percent to pay for room and board during their captivity. An appeals court ruled the Independent Assessor was entitled to deduct the money to reflect the “necessities of life” that Vincent Hickey, Michael Hickey and Michael O’Brien would have had to pay for with their wages if they had lived free.

Quirky Coincidences A hit-andrun driver killed Andrew Coit, 18, at the same spot in West Warwick, R.I., where his 14-year-old friend had died in a car crash earlier that night. Coit was playing guitar on the roadside at 4 a.m. at a makeshift memorial for Darien Plass, who had taken his mother’s minivan without permission and driven into a utility pole. • Brenda Comer said she had just finished washing dishes and stepped outside to smoke a cigarette when the wind toppled an 80-foot oak tree. It crashed through the roof of her home in Rock Hill, S.C., and landed across the sink where she had just been standing, cutting the kitchen and living room in half and scattering the contents of the kitchen cabinets. Smoking “saved my life,” Comer declared.

Slightest Provocation Chicago police said Daryoush Ebrahimi, 55, used a 3-pound hammer to beat his wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law to death, then turned the hammer on himself. Officers found Ebrahimi hitting himself on the head and stopped him before he seriously injured himself. No suicide note

You heard right, Chris. But unless you’re way more anal than anybody I want living in my reference frame, you won’t have to reset your watch. Due to the “warpage of time,� clocks run slower in Poughkeepsie than Santa Fe by about a millisecond. Per century. (Get friendly with a black hole and it’s another story — gravitational time dilation approaches infinity as you near the event horizon. However, notwithstanding sporadic distortions of space-time due to Taos, Los Alamos, Roswell, etc., we’ll assume that’s not a problem for you in New Mexico.) Time dilation affects not just ordinary clocks but any measure of time, including how long it takes to say “one Mississippi, two Mississippi.� So you’ll never notice anything odd about SF time, only about that of people living under different gravity conditions, e.g., Poughkeepsie, Hoboken or other low burgs. The effect was first hypothesized by Albert Einstein in 1907 as a consequence of his “happiest thought,� the equivalence principle, which says gravity is locally indistinguishable from acceleration. Think of an elevator — as it accelerates you upward, you’re squashed to the floor, which feels like an increase in gravity. That’s no trick of the senses, says Einstein. Experiments performed over short range and brief time can’t differentiate between acceleration and gravity. Originally just a cool idea, the EP and its consequences, including gravitational time dilation, have since been thoroughly confirmed. It’s probably not obvious to you why the EP results in time dilation, and I’ll admit steam was rising off the diodes by the time I got the whole thing processed. But let’s give it a shot: 1. Imagine you’re in a spaceship far from any source of gravity. The ship is moving in a straight line at constant speed, so you float in the center of the cabin. Now imagine your idiot brother at the controls unexpectedly turns on the rocket booster, accelerating the ship. The rapidly approaching back wall is now indistinguishable from a floor you’re falling toward under gravity. 2. Now consider a light source on this “floor� that emits a photon (light particle) of a certain frequency. Because the speed of light is finite, it takes time (albeit very little) to make the trip to the “ceiling.� By

Dear Cecil, I read recently that “time . . . passes more quickly when gravity is reduced.� Assuming gravity is reduced at higher altitudes, that means time goes by faster in Santa Fe than in Poughkeepsie. What’s up with that? Chris in SF, NM

that time, the light receiver, along with the rest of the ship, has slightly increased its speed due to the ship’s acceleration. The ceiling receiver (at the moment of reception) is always moving a bit faster than the floor emitter was (at the time of emission), even though the distance between them never changes. This invokes ��� Church Streetďż˝ Suite �� the Doppler effect, more familiar to us in sonic CYNTHEA WIGHT HAUSMAN Burlingtonďż˝ Vermont form: because of the aforesaid speed difference, the receiver will record the photon’s frequency on arrival as slightly lower than it was on departure from the emitter. R H O N D A A L L I S O 3. Frequency, whether of clock ticks, pendulum swings, or photon pulsations, is a basic measure of time — a second officially is the time it takes for certain photons emitted by cesium-133 atoms to 2x4-cynthea050907.indd 1 5/2/07 vibrate 9,192,631,770 times. If you and I measure the frequency of a given photon differently, we’ll measure the flow of time differently too. So if I’m on the ceiling when the photon arrives, I time its vibrations and say, woo, that pup is slow. Meanwhile, an observer on the floor will say, nah, your stopwatch is fast. 4. Likewise, since the EP tells us acceleration = gravity, and gravity decreases with elevation above sea level (the “floorâ€?), you in your mountain fastness will say sea-level time runs slow, while I in my shoreline cabana will say mountain time runs fast. Anyway, that’s the theory. Does it really work that way? You bet. Einstein used general relativity (which is bound up with gravitational time dilation) HVijgYVn HjcYVn to explain a known oddity in Mercury’s orbit. More recent experiments involved atomic clocks on jet ./%%Vb ¸ */%%eb flights. Here both gravity- and speed-dependent special relativity effects must be taken into account. After a westward around-the-world jet flight, flying clocks gained 273 nanoseconds, of which about twothirds was gravitational. Mere nanoseconds, you say — who gives a flying clock? You do, if you use the global positioning system. Because of their altitude, the clocks on GPS satellites run about 30 nanoseconds fast per minute due to gravitational effects. Since the system works by timing light signals and the distances involved are great, an uncorrected time error would mean '* ¸,* d[[ hZaZXi igZZh! h]gjWh!

nearly gave her frostbite on a too-long snowshoe trek. And when I ventured over to Lake Placid to try a luge run on another February evening, the outing turned into a meltdown for both daughter and dad after I disappeared to slide down the track. OK, so maybe the luge run was pushing it. But I’m glad to learn that my other workout woes — suffered in the midst of, yes, unlimited joy with my child — have been shared by other weary parents. “When my kids were newborns, I was definitely up a lot at night, so [I] didn’t get the regular exercise I craved, and it took months to fall back into a regular daily routine,” says Elzy Wick, an avid Burlington runner and mom of 3-and-ahalf-year-old Alex and 13-month-old Daniel. “It took a painfully long time for either of my kids to start sleeping through the night, so sleep deprivation made it hard to get up each morning.” Rebecca Raskin, another Burlington mom and regular runner, followed her doctor’s orders to stay off her feet until her girls (now 3 and 4-and-a-half ) were 6 weeks old. Then she almost immediately began walking for at least an hour every morning with a baby sling. At home, Raskin did whatever exercises she could before the babies began wailing. “I tried to do something, even if I only had the time for two minutes of weights,” she says. “I had some baby blues with both kids, and getting exercise was so helpful in getting me through the adjustment to motherhood.” It was only a matter of time before someone found a way to cater to new moms who wanted to get moving. A few years ago, California fitness instructor Lisa Druxman turned new-baby beefs — and a reluctance to drop her son at daycare during her workouts — into a multimilliondollar business. She launched Stroller Strides, a class that incorporates infants into power-walking and interval sessions. Since then, the program has rolled all over the country, with more than 300 locations and 15,000 participants.

SEVEN DAYS | may 09-16, 2007 | feature 25A

Vermont College of Cosmetology Though there’s currently no Stroller Strides program in Chittenden County, the Sports & Fitness Edge in Essex recently began offering Stroller Circuits. It’s a twiceweekly cardio and weights class where pushy moms can get buff with their babies. The class lasts 45 minutes, “which for infants is just about the right length,” says Kim Graham, group fitness director. Graham has invented her own ways to stay ripped around rugrats. “When I was at home with the kids, I’d try to do crunches with one of them on my legs — there are things you can do when you’re just horsing around,” says Graham. “I used to do pullups on the monkey bars when I was hanging out at the playground with my kids, and they’d think it was hilarious.” There’s no horsing around at this month’s Vermont City Marathon. For safety reasons, USA Track and Field, the race’s governing body, doesn’t allow strollers. But this Sunday, May 13, fleet-footed moms and dads will be wheeling through Rutland’s first-ever Mother’s Day Stroller Run, a 5K road race in which parents get VIP treatment. “All the races I was going to, the strollers were getting sent to the back of the pack, if they were even allowed,” says race director and longtime runner Ron Boucher. Not this time. And he promises, “We’ve found probably the flattest three miles in Vermont.” According to New England Runner, the Stroller Run is the only race of its kind among 1700 events the magazine covers. To give bleary-eyed moms a break, the race will begin at 3 p.m.; the official starter is Vermont First Lady Dorothy Douglas.

Like most new moms, I was immediately sucked into the vortex of an alternate reality that flip-flopped the days and nights and smelled like Dreft detergent. As anyone who’s ever pushed a BabyJogger can attest, the race will hardly be a cakewalk. “Running with a jogging stroller is a whole different exercise,” says Wick. “Your upper body is engaged, so, while providing a great cardio workout, it also helps to build the upper and lower body strength.” Though my daughter is still a bit young for the BabyJogger, I’ve learned a few things about how to stay fit and stave off the mom jeans. Like how to time naps so she sleeps in the gym nursery — and how to run safely on the treadmill. No Boston Marathon this year, but I’m aiming to run half of Vermont City, and to finish just in time for another feeding. My shopping circle has expanded beyond Shaw’s to the online world, where I’ve found a cushy Kelty backpack for hikes this summer. Now, if I could just figure out how to do a safe luge run with baby on board. � Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

Memberships to the co-op will be offered for a small, yet-to-be-determined fee — $30 a year, for example — which will give members an all-access pass to the benefits of a community bike shop. Gunn and Blokland are both 24. They’re roommates in Montpelier and recent graduates of Oberlin College in Ohio, where they learned, among other things, how to wrench bicycles at the Oberlin Bicycle Co-op. In the dim light of

their modest co-op space at 89 Barre Street, among piles of bikes in various stages of repair and disrepair, they speak with a fluency that shows they’re familiar with the import and bounds of their new venture, like newlyweds in their first house. Radiohead’s disaffected notes spill from a boom-box over bike stands of diverse vintages and a bare-bones workbench, then drift over the loading dock of a neighboring business. Gunn, who wears a quasi-mohawk and has hard blue eyes, is a substitute teacher at Montpelier High School. He grew up riding his mountain bike up and down the hills around the capital. Blokland is thin and soft-spoken, with close-cropped hair and Calvin Klein spectacles. His job? “I’m looking for one desperately,� he says. But when the topic turns to the co-op, he surveys his surroundings with pride and says, “Everything you see here was either donated or lent to us. We’re stocked enough to work on just about everything.� The co-op’s primary purpose, Gunn explains, “is having the shop open four or five shifts a week, so members can come in, use the tools, use the space, and ask the mechanics how to make something work.� The goal, he says, is to get members “learning how to fix their bikes themselves, so we’re not just doing it for them.� The idea of a cooperative was first put >> 28A

it around.� The two men also plan to organize bike-in cinema. Blokland’s got the pitch down: “Movies in the park on warm summer nights.� Bike activists will be out in force this month, championing the rights of cyclists, encouraging people to ride and raising awareness. It would have made H.G. Wells proud. Or Mark Twain, though he had a characteristically more wry perspective. “Get a bicycle,� he wrote. “You will not regret it if you live.�

AGING AUDACIOUSLY

Elder activists tell it like it is — and was

It is commonly believed that we humans get more conservative as we get older. But the half-dozen senior Vermonters profiled here demonstrate that aging doesn’t mean leaving the Left, that being retired doesn’t make one retiring. On the contrary, these men and women happily remain a thorn in the sides of wayward powers-that-be, and an inspiration for those who would follow in their feisty footsteps. After all, injustice, too, is age-old.

t 5-foot-1, Marion Leonard isn’t the most intimidating character. Talk with her a minute, though, and you’ll discover that she’s as sassy as a Greenpeace protestor. In fact, this white-haired 98-year-old has been a radical environmentalist since before the term existed. For most of the 20th century and all of the 21st — so far — Leonard has worked as an inspired advocate, organizer and writer on behalf of the Earth. And she’s still going strong. On a recent afternoon, Leonard sits in her sunny room at the Park House, an elder residence center in Rochester. The décor suggests that Jane Austen has just hosted a tea party for the Earth Liberation Front. In one corner, an original Audubon print hangs over an elegant Victorian bureau. In another, a mini-fridge boasts stickers with such slogans as “Bush vs. Earth” and “No Farms, No Food.” A small blue globe hangs from the ceiling. “All my life I’ve been interested in conserving the planet,” Leonard says. She moved to Vermont from Long Island in 1939 to teach at the Putney School, but her social conscience was formed well before that. Leonard explains that her father, a doctor, taught her not to trust the system. “He was always interested in supporting groups that were on the right track,” Leonard says, adding that her father helped her understand that “we never really had the country we said we had.” Indeed, Leonard has trained a critical eye on American politics all her life, present rulers included. The Bush administration “qualifies on all 14 points of fascism,” she insists with a smile. A lifelong progressive educator, Leonard has pushed for hands-on, outdoor-oriented pedagogies — she and her late husband started their own independent school on Long Island in 1956. By 1970, they were so fed up with the U.S. that they moved to Italy and stayed there for eight years before returning to New York. Back on Long Island in the early ’80s, Leonard started the nonprofit anti-nuclear organization Save Our World. Through it all, Leonard has been speaking her mind — in print. The activist says she’s penned saucy letters to the editors of publications in Vermont and New York for as long as she can remember. “I think it’s important in a democracy to be part of community . . . the only way to do that is to communi-

cate with your representatives,” she notes. “You elect people to represent you, but you have no guarantee that they’ll represent the choices that you want made. So you have to keep your eye on them.” Leonard loves the Green Mountains as much as ever. “Vermont has more organizations trying to save the planet than any other state in the Union,” she avers. That explains why she moved back here from New York in 1997. She points out, however, that Vermont isn’t the same as it used to be. One sign of change? There are far fewer farms in her area than there were in 1956, the year she moved back to Long Island. Leonard complains that towns like Williston are now full of “too many people and junk.” Fortunately, Leonard also sees plenty of cause for hope. She’s impressed, for instance, with Middlebury College professor-cum-maple-sugarer John Elder, who writes about ecological issues in Vermont. She also mentions Abe Collins, a Swanton dairyman and grass farmer who recently founded Carbon Farmers of America, a grassroots coalition that markets soil-based carbon offsets. Collins, 34, says the appreciation is mutual. “[Marion Leonard] is a tireless warrior for the Earth and for regular people everywhere, with the energy of a 25-year-old,” he affirms. No kidding. Up until she broke her hip two years ago, Leonard grew salad greens in the raised beds outside her window at the Park House. Even now, she stays in touch with the current green scene. On April 14, Leonard participated in a light-bulb exchange as part of author-activist Bill McKibben’s “Step It Up” campaign for federal climate legislation. “It’s a long, tough struggle,” she reflects. “We just have to keep it small and local.” Meanwhile, Leonard continues to write. Last month, in fact, she sent a two-page handwritten letter to Seven Days. “I’ve spent a long life . . . working for the Great Work — putting in place an ecozoic rather than a technozoic era,” she wrote. “I never thought I’d live to see as much Great Work as is going on in Vermont.” Leonard says she’s never touched a computer. But, ironically, her outdated style of communication can be the most effective political tool of all. “In this age of emails and all that,” she suggests, “if any of our local reps get a handwritten, personally addressed letter, they’ll usually read it, because they get so few of them.” MIKE IVES

r. Charlie Houston knows enough about doctoring “the poor” to offer an expert armchair diagnosis of Vermont’s Catamount Health Plan. “It’s a disaster,” reports the 93-yearold Burlington resident and pioneer in the fields of medicine and mountaineering. “It’s not funded. Nobody knows where the money will come from. Nobody knows how it’s going to work or be administered . . . All it’s done is block further progress.” Progress, according to Houston, would be universal, single-payer health care for all Vermonters; reinstatement of laws forbidding the promotion of pharmaceuticals; and a system that encour-

ages doctors to work in underserved areas. And he’s not afraid to say so — to medical students, in op-ed pieces, even from a soapbox on Church Street. The elder activist, whose biography has just been published, lends prestige and credibility to the health-reform cause in Vermont. Houston has never shied away from the seemingly insurmountable. In the 1930s, long before oxygen tanks and Gore-Tex, he discovered some of the first climbing routes up Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Devi and K2. As a navy surgeon during World War II, he unlocked the mysteries of altitude acclimation, which allowed American fighter pilots to fly higher than their enemies. In 1962, Sargent Shriver personally recruited Houston to run the Peace Corps in India, where he fostered the program’s growth from six volunteers to >> 34A

“I was hooked by the first chapter!�

<< 33A

250. A young Bill Moyers, who was the Peace Corps’ national deputy director, came to visit and got deathly ill. Two years ago, the author-advocate interviewed Houston on his public-television show, “NOW.� At the end of the segment, Moyers credits Houston with saving his life. Harvard-and-Columbia-educated Houston came to Vermont in 1967 to chair the med school’s department of community medicine. Like the then-sitting president, Lyndon Johnson, he was interested in democratizing patient access to medical care. As a first step, Houston assigned motivated first-year medical students to serve as personal physicians to needy families in Burlington. The initiative was terminated because it was considered “a little premature.� A rural jobshadow program met a similar fate. Houston pushed through some successful innovations, though, including formal first-aid training for med students and a volunteer-run drug crisis center. He helped launch a number of local “group medical practices,� which at the time were considered more progressive than the going models. For 10 years, he staffed a free clinic in the old DeGoesbriand unit; when the funding ran out, he assisted a nurse practitioner, Jed Lowy, who set up a similar operation at the corner of North Winooski Avenue and North Street. “That developed over the years into the Community Health Center,� Houston reports. “So I was one of the founders of that. You’ll find a room dedicated to me in there.�

Progress, according to Houston, would be universal, single-payer health care for all Vermonters. . . and a system that encourages doctors to work in underserved areas. In myriad ways, Houston was ahead of his time — he made waves at UVM, and his department was subsequently eliminated. But he’s lived long enough for the rest of the world to catch up to his lead. Way before popular interest in the ethics of mountaineering, Houston wrote K2: The Savage Mountain, detailing a 1953 expedition that ended tragically. After a 185-mile hike in and a grueling ascent of the peak, Houston’s team was within striking distance of the summit when climbing colleague Art Gilkey developed blood clots in his legs. Houston diagnosed him. The group decided to descend with Gilkey, but on the way down another man slipped, injuring everyone who was roped together. When the group reassembled, Gilkey had vanished. In his interview with Moyers, Houston speculated for the first time that his friend might have taken his own life. On account of his own wife and kids, Houston responded to the loss by swearing off climbing forever. He still likes to talk about it, though, in the Ledge Road home he shared with his wife until her death in 1999. Houston typically holds court in his favorite armchair by the picture window; his 9-year-old golden retriever prefers the couch. “Pooh Bear� barks to let him know when someone’s coming down the driveway. Houston is losing his hearing and is almost entirely blind now, but he’s pretty steady on his feet. Though he’s slightly stooped and saddled with a catheter bag, he still looks like an outdoorsman in his plaid flannel shirt. If the proprietor can’t fully appreciate the spectacular lake view from his home, almost everyone who traipses through it can, from the Homeshare roommate to volunteer readers. Houston gets lots of visitors. Kids from the King Street Youth Center come by once a week. So do groups of med students. “They are pretty apolitical now,� Houston notes, “which is surprising and disappointing.� Neighbor Page McConnell has become a friend; he arrives every Friday for lunch. The former Phish keyboardist wrote a blurb for Houston’s

newly released biography, Brotherhood of the Rope: “A remarkable man and a remarkable life. The breadth of his experience is matched only by his incredible personality. I wish everyone could know him as well as I do.� Deb Richter is another pilgrim who makes the trek to see Houston. The family physician and diehard universal-health-care advocate “is coming next week, I think,� he says, noting that the two have frequently collaborated in print. “Getting your arms around it is such a difficult thing today,� he says. “I mean, the governor has been so atrocious.� He predicts it will take at least five more years before Vermonters see any real reform. One prerequisite is the end of the Iraq war. Middle Eastern carnage trumps the cause of domestic doctoring democracy, even for Houston. He’s committed most of his activist energy over the past two years to opposing the war, and describes Bush as the “worst president we have ever had.� In the long term, though, Houston is optimistic that Vermont will one day have “a decent health plan� — even a trend-setting one. “If it’s successful here,� Houston predicts, “it will spread.� Whether or not he lives to see that day, Houston can rest assured he’s inspired plenty of others to carry the torch. And not just in Vermont. All three children are “doing socially good things,� he says. One granddaughter just returned from two years of hitchhiking around India; she’s got her Master’s in public health. Another is a doctor with a public health PhD. “It’s going to be done,� Houston promises. “It’s just a matter of getting it done right.� PAULA ROUTLY Brotherhood of the Rope: The Biography of Charles Houston, by Bernadette McDonald.

y the time she sat down for an interview last Saturday morning, 80year-old Anne Hoover had already picked up trash for two hours as a Green-Up Day volunteer and held high her circular dove emblem at Middlebury’s weekly peace vigil. Up the hill, students one-quarter her age were just starting to stir. “Anne is fearless and tireless,” says Middlebury College English professor Gary Margolis. “It comes from a wellspring of dedication that keeps her youthful.” Not all her days involve so much activity, however — and Hoover, who lives alone, does admit to feeling bored on occasion. “But I keep my mind busy,” she says. In addition to consuming volumes of fiction and nonfiction, Hoover reads once a week to a former professor who’s gone blind. They don’t always make it through selected essays in The New York Review of Books, though. “We wind up debating what we’re reading,” Hoover says, with a crinkled grin that reveals the absence of several teeth. “We have a great time.” Hoover regularly walks the

mile between her condo and the Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury’s village center. She used to hike with the Green Mountain Club, “but nowadays I’m more of a stroller,” she says. “I’m slowing down.” Not so much that she can endure Quaker meetings, however. “Many of my best friends are Quakers,” Hoover notes, “but there’s no way I can sit still for that long.”

Wilkie, then running for president. She wasn’t so much affirming the Republican’s pledge to undo FDR’s New Deal, Hoover explains 67 years later. “It was because my father grew up with Wilkie in Indiana.” Born in Manhattan, Hoover herself is no Hoosier. She got a psychology degree from Wellesley College, then went to work for the Rockefeller Foundation back in New York. “I was

I’ve gone on marches in Washington and Montpelier, and I attend the vigil here every Saturday. ANNE HOOVER Besides, religious faith isn’t what inspires her political convictions. “I’ve tried all the churches around here. None of them took,” Hoover says, adding that she’s “not a Christian.” She is a believer, though, in the possibility of redemption. “People can change,” Hoover proclaims. Her own life provides ample proof. Hoover had her first flirtation with politics as a kid when she handed out flyers for Wendell

thinking about how to do psychology as a career, but I got a job as a secretary,” she relates. That remained her vocation through the decades: typing and filing at Harvard and Yale before becoming a secretary at Middlebury’s Bread Loaf School of English in 1972. Why didn’t she pursue a more prestigious profession? “It was a different world back then,” Hoover replies. Regardless of the degrees they earned,

SEVEN DAYS | may 09-16, 2007 | feature 37A

women were generally consigned to go-fer roles in the 1950s, she says, then quickly adds, “But I did have some pretty important jobs.� Politically, Hoover was born again in the early 1970s after a long period of introspection. In sync with her lifelong devotion to nature, she joined a movement to block construction of a water-pumping system in northwestern Connecticut. “They were going to ruin a mountain near where I was living,� Hoover recalls. “I couldn’t just let that happen.� That campaign ended in victory — unlike most of the others in which she subsequently participated. Hoover is especially frustrated by the scant impact of protests against the war in Iraq. “I’ve gone on marches in Washington and Montpelier, and I attend the vigil here every Saturday,� she recounts while nibbling on a discounted, dayold blueberry muffin at Carol’s Hungry Mind coffeehouse near the Middlebury Green. “We don’t seem to be achieving much.� She doesn’t doubt the Democrats will win the White House next year, but she’s not sure it will make much difference. Hoover foresees almost no chance of change if Hillary Clinton becomes president. Sharing an alma mater with the New York senator doesn’t mean she favors her, Hoover notes, adding in an almost conspiratorial whisper, “You know, I really like Kucinich.� She concedes, however, that Ohio antiwar Congressman Dennis Kucinich will not become the Democrats’ presidential nominee. And that’s one reason why, in Hoover’s opinion, “things are getting worse and worse.� So, there’s no hope for the future? “People in their thirties, forties and fifties should be out there,� Hoover says of the vigils typically attended by those in her own age range. “Some of them tell me, ‘I think what you’re doing is wonderful.’ So why don’t they join us? I know they’re busy with families on Saturday mornings, but still . . .� The unfinished sentence hangs like a pending indictment. Well, how about some words of advice for young people who do want to build a better world? “I think the students here are just great,� Hoover says, noting that she recently attended a meeting of Middlebury College eco-activists. She asked them to design a “Stop Global Warming� poster that could be mounted on the sides of the town’s shuttle buses. “They’re polite,� Hoover says — not only of the students but of her own grand-nephews and -nieces. “They hear me out, but they don’t really listen.� KEVIN J.

Recently, Hayes earned a name for herself as the octogenarian peace demonstrator who was arrested twice for occupying the district offices of Senators Bernie Sanders and Pat Leahy. According to Hayes, the decision to get arrested wasn’t a premeditated one but an on-thespot inspiration to walk the walk of civil disobedience. “I’ve really come to the conclusion that the letters aren’t enough, the op-eds aren’t enough, and the vigils aren’t enough,â€? she says. “The only way we’re ever going to stop this war is by getting lots of people into the streets who are willing to be arrested.â€?

a peace activist seems anything but preordained; neither religion nor politics were regular topics of conversation in her household. “My father was an ardent Republican,� she recalls. “You mentioned FDR, and the expletives flowed.� Hayes’ father was a banker until the stock market crash of 1929; fortuitously, her author mother hit it big in 1928 when she sold an article to McCall’s. The magazine paid more money for that story than Hayes’ father had earned all year. Her mother went on to write 13 novels, including one that was made into the film I Met My Love Again (1938), starring Henry Fonda and Joan Bennett. Hayes recalls that she was no peacenik in her youth. Growing up on Monument Avenue in Old Bennington, she had an early fascination with war and

the military — her brother attended Norwich University. For a while, Hayes even carried around a three-point bayonet she’d found in the attic of their 18th-century house. Like many young women during World War II, Hayes took a job in a defense plant; she inspected ball bearings used in military hardware. At age 24, she converted to Catholicism, though it wasn’t until years later, when someone gave her a copy of Dorothy Day’s Catholic Worker, that her adopted religion assumed political overtones. Hayes’ interest in that realm was sparked in 1967, when she traveled to Norwich University to hear John Kenneth Galbraith speak about the Vietnam War. “It was just electrifying to me,� she recalls. Shortly thereafter, Hayes began writing letters about the war to The Catholic

Tribune, a local monthly publication where she eventually went to work as a typesetter. Like many peace workers who discovered their voices in the Vietnam War era, Hayes followed a familiar trajectory in her activism: antiwar demonstrations during the 1960s, antinuclear-weapons protests in the ’70s, Latin American issues in the ’80s. In fact, it was the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero, a human rights activist in El Salvador, that led to the formation of Pax Christi Burlington, a Catholic peace and social justice group. Hayes’ recent arrests in Burlington weren’t her first act of nonviolent civil disobedience. For the last eight years, she’s journeyed with other peace activists to Fort Benning, Georgia, for the annual demonstrations against the U.S. Army’s School of the Americas/Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Graduates of the school, which trains foreign soldiers in counter-insurgencies and counter-narcotics, have been linked to human rights abuses around the world. In 2000, Hayes was one of several thousand protesters who “crossed the line� and were arrested at Fort Benning. Though she was only detained

for five hours, “I’ve never felt so alone in all my life,” she recalls. These days, Hayes’ activism takes many forms. Every Friday, she’s a fixture at the peace vigils at the top of Church Street; every August, she participates in vigils marking the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She’s been to Israel and Palestine twice with Miriam Ward, and has opened her home to Palestinian visitors on several occasions. And she’s still involved in Pax Christi Burlington. If Hayes has any intention of slowing down, she doesn’t show it. “When you get to be in your eighties, you begin to value your time,” she says. “I wouldn’t do this unless I thought there was a chance to make a difference. I think everything has a ripple effect.” Hayes offers some advice for young, up-and-coming activists: “Read, learn and listen. Know your subject and don’t get in over your head,” she advises. “Be willing to listen to the other side and be open to dialogue. “And then,” she adds, “be ready to take a stand.”

by M. Beatrice Grause, R.N., J.D. The House just passed the state’s fiscal year 2008 budget. Legislators lamented that competing budget priorities like education, energy, transportation and of course, health care made this one of the toughest budgets ever. And they’re right.

Health (the state’s chronic care program) will require continued investments. Hospitals and doctors support these investments because they will reduce waste and improve care. These needed reforms will not however reduce health care expenses since our aging population will fuel increased health care demand for many years to come.

As both employers and health care providers, hospital leaders are very sympathetic with these difficult choices, but as with all choices Creating more state revenue is another solution there will be consequences. Vermont’s and would come basically from two sources: Medicaid program is by new taxes and new jobs. “The consequences of these far the state’s largest Currently, raising taxes is health plan, covering chronic underpayments are being not an option.

May Day-related functions. In the future, he may teach a course on community organizing or labor history in the Burlington or Montpelier area, he says. Mamber still has high hopes for American labor — but not unrealistic ones. “I’m hopeful that the labor movement will start policing itself and play a more progressive role than it’s playing now,” he comments. “I’ve been critical of the labor movement even as I’m a part of it.” In the meantime, Mamber is happy to heap praise on local organizing efforts. He’s been following the livable wage campaign by the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) at the University of Vermont, for example, with fervent interest. “I’m glad to see that happening,” Mamber declares. “I think it’s a tremendous, wonderful step.”

I’ve been critical of the labor movement even as I’m a part of it. PHIL MAMBER “If you eat a hot dog today, it tastes like mush. They used to be much more solid when I made them,” Mamber complains in a Boston accent, peering into the food-prep area. He would know: From 1948 to 1956, Mamber worked at a meatpacking plant in Boston. That’s where he met his wife. It’s also where his organizing career took off. After that job, Mamber drove a bakery truck as a teamster, also in Boston, for 16 years. Then he served as acting director of the Lynn Model Cities Initiative. In 1975, Mamber commenced a 20-year gig as an organizer, international representative and later district president for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) in New England and upstate New York. In the late ’80s, he took time off to coordinate Windsor County for Bernie Sanders’ congressional campaign. According to Mamber, things haven’t been the same for working people in America since the Kennedy administration. That hasn’t slowed him down, howev-

er. “People claim I’m a militant,” he says, and he recalls being threatened by bosses and going to jail. Was he ever scared? “I don’t intimidate very easily,” he says with a casual grin. In the 1990s, Mamber put his labor and community organizing skills to different uses. Beginning in 1996, he served on the board of Massachusetts Senior Action Council — what Mamber describes as a “progressive retiree organization.” For the last several years, he’s worked with organizations such as the Council of Vermont Elders (COVE) to protect Medicare, Social Security and housing for seniors. In 2002, he received an Elder Service Award for his prescription-drug advocacy work. Since 2004, Mamber has been active with the Alliance for Retired Americans — he represents Vermont at the national level in Washington. Mamber’s interest in healthcare reform has a personal dimension. Three of his immediate family members have been diagnosed with cancer; two of them died within the last three

years. So it’s understandable that Mamber should tear up as he describes the injustices of America’s health-care system. “Health care will only be addressed when you get rid of the insurance companies,” he stresses. “They’re the parasites that suck the blood from the health-care industry.” Betty Stambolian, an executive board member of the Alliance for Retired Americans, has worked with Mamber on senior-rights issues. “Phil is a very effective leader, and he’s the guru to whom we all turn,” Stambolian says. “He was the pioneer organizer of the Alliance for Retired Americans in this state. It’s his leadership that created the Vermont chapter and sustained it over the years that I’ve been here, for which I am very grateful.” These days, Mamber can’t do as much organizing as he’d like to, what with trips to the hospital and a granddaughter to look after. But he still gets around: The guy recently spent four consecutive evenings at the Barre Labor Hall attending various

ome people enter the world of full-time political activism in small, incremental steps. Others, like Paul Hood of Burlington, radically alter the direction of their lives as a result of a single, precipitous event. For Hood, 80, that explosive incident was the so-called “Christmas bombing” of North Vietnam in December 1972. That massively destructive and unnecessary military campaign, launched in the waning days of the Vietnam War, was the U.S. military’s heaviest aerial bombardment since World War II. Hood was so disgusted by its senseless violence that he decided to “drop out” and devote the rest of his life to alleviating poverty and working for peace. “I was just devastated by that bombing,” Hood recalls. “I decided that I would never willingly pay a penny for war or other things I didn’t agree with.” Within 18 months, Hood put his money where his mouth was. He quit his job as a well-paid executive at the Museum of Science in Boston, a position that had allowed him and his family to “live high off the hog.” At the time, he owned a sailboat, a power boat, three cars and an old sea captain’s house in an affluent neighborhood south of the city. Instead, Hood took a job working at a soup kitchen and shelter in South Boston, where his co-workers initially suspected he was a government agent trying to infiltrate their collective. Hood’s radical new lifestyle soon resulted in the dissolution of his marriage and family. “They literally thought I was crazy, and there was a pretty good case for it,” he admits. “How many people drop out, change their life

completely, and refuse to play ball?” Over the years, Hood has remained true to his beliefs. He became a tax resister of sorts — his form of resistance is to live below a taxable income — and he still engages in “principled acts of civil disobedience,” as he puts it, in order to “open people’s eyes to the nature of the beast.” For nearly 14 years, Hood went to jail at least once a year for one to three months at a time, all in the name of peace. “I’ll probably end up being arrested again before I’m done, because I will be communicating things that, I’ve been warned, are going to put me in danger,” Hood says. “I hate going to jail. It’s just a bummer . . . but if I have to go again, I will.” Hood welcomes a reporter to his cluttered apartment in Cathedral Square, a nonprofit housing complex for lowincome and disabled seniors in Burlington. The walls are stacked floor to ceiling with plastic milk crates filled with books, photos and other doodads. In one corner sits a wooden Buddha, carved out of a tree trunk. Hood explains apologetically that he’s in the midst of a move to another apartment in the building. The only available seat is on an old futon next to a small, gray, frizzy-haired poodle named Sophia, who often accompanies Hood on his yearround bicycle rides around downtown. (He hasn’t owned a car in years.) Hood barely looks his age; except for a slight stoop, he could pass for someone 20 years younger. With his blue eyes, white hair and white beard sans mustache, he has the visage of a 19th-century minister, minus the fire-and-brimstone sternness. Actually, Hood is a Quaker with a gentle nature and a propensity for choosing his words carefully. “As Quakers, we avoid taking sides on any conflict,” he explains. “Rather, we try to provide humanitarian aid to anyone who suffers.” Remaining nonpartisan isn’t always easy, Hood admits, especially on one issue he feels particularly passionate about: the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. In the spring of 2002, Hood went to work at a Quaker school in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, about 10 miles outside Jerusalem. His second night there, Israeli tanks rolled into town and right past his bedroom window. Hood spent hours videotaping the invasion from his window, at times deathly afraid that Israeli soldiers would mistake him for a sniper. Though Hood had seen war before — he enlisted in the Marines at 17 and fought in the battle of Okinawa during World War II — he remembers the event as one of the scariest moments of his life. These days, Hood remains active in the peace movement, despite his age and physical ailments. He’s had one lung removed due to cancer, which has since spread to the other

lung. He’s also fought prostate cancer, gout, diabetes and arthritis, and describes himself as a recovering alcoholic of 45 years. Nevertheless, Hood radiates a sense of calm and hope that belies his many maladies. “Why do I feel optimistic?” he asks. “I feel optimistic because I feel the presence of the Divine in myself and other people.” When asked what advice he would offer younger peace activists, Hood urges people to focus not only on their careers and activism but also on their inner well-being, through meditation, philosophy or some other spiritual pursuit. “When you believe deeply and passionately in something, there’s a great virtue in a life lived in depth,” he says. “But if you just go and plunge yourself into outer activities, however meritorious they may be, it’s a prescription for burnout. You need to have something that sustains you in your inner life . . . a sea anchor of some kind for the stormy seas that will ensue.” KEN PICARD

Devotion by Howard Norman, Houghton Mifflin, 190 pages. $24.

t takes skill to write less. While socalled “maximalist” novelists who jump all over the world map and the social landscape are often deservedly acclaimed, there’s a place for masterSTORY ful minimalists who can fence us in MARGOT and make us like it. Three fleshed-out HARRISON characters inhabit the sixth novel of award-winning, part-time East Calais writer Howard Norman. The book’s “action” takes place over a span of about 19 months. In that time, very little happens by the standards of fiction. But it’s enough to redirect the course of the characters’ lives — and to remind readers what a sliver of

chance or effort it sometimes takes to change everything. Norman defies expectation by introducing the plot’s most “dramatic” development in the novel’s first words: Here is what happened. In London on the morning of August 19, 1985, David Kozol and his father-in-law, William Field, had a violent quarrel on George Street. In a café they came to blows. Two waitresses threw them out. On the sidewalk they started up again. William stumbled backward from the curb and was struck by a taxi. The London police record called

FROM DEVOTION:

When [David] stepped into the lobby he saw Maggie sitting in a high-backed chair of hard red leather with wooden armrests. She was reading a book. He tilted his head in order to take in the cover and title, The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard. He had not heard of the author, Anatole France. She looked up from the book, not at David, checked her watch, stood and walked outside under the awning. David immediately went there too. That is where they met, David with his jacket caped over his head, Maggie waiting for a doorman to flag down a cab. To David, the simple fact was love at first sight. The moment provided the definition. He felt a complete realignment of emotions, along with the unbearable advance regret at not seeing this woman again. Whatever her name might be, whatever her life might be. He felt these like pangs, felt them almost hypnotically. He was prepared to get into his own taxi and despite all cinematic cliché order the driver to “follow that cab,” he felt such stupefying urgency about her. If your heart is sinking you must act on it, “follow that cab,” like a 1940s gumshoe trying to catch up with his own fate. Had Maggie not paid him any mind, he might have done that very thing. He was aware, for an instant, of wanting this to be a philosophical moment, earned by years of waiting for it; wanted to maintain control of his senses. When all he really felt was apprehension and nerves and bewildering abandon, all enough to nearly render him dumb. Of course, one should never expect such good fortune. Not unless you are self-deluded beyond reason. That is just not the world. No, if it is love at first sight, you simply are in it. You cannot hope to step back and observe. His muddle-headedness was such that he could only eavesdrop on his own brain as it came up with nothing but “Hello,” which he said. He and Maggie Field looked at each other’s face, studied it, you might say, for just a moment. “Actually, I can stand flirtation only in small doses,” she said. “So that sufficed.”

it “assault by mutual affray.” From this pivotal event, the narrative jumps forward in time to explore the scuffle’s aftermath, then back to show us its motivation, then forward again, and so forth. Although Devotion’s book jacket copy strives to present it as a mystery of sorts — what made these two civilized men explode? — that question doesn’t take many pages to resolve. Canadian photographer David has just returned from his honeymoon with William’s daughter Maggie, after a whirlwind courtship. William has reason to believe the younger man, whom he

Norman calls our attention repeatedly to dates, times and circumstantial details. Just before David meets Maggie for the first time, for instance, he sees two hotel window washers “celebrating the turn in weather”; rain gives them an excuse to sit inside and drink a pint. Does the “turn in weather” foreshadow the dramatic turn David’s life is about to take? Or do the window washers remind us that life goes on, indifferent to us, even when we’re falling in love? By presenting such facts without interpretation, Norman gives his story an almost hypnotic feeling of inevitability. Like

Very little happens by the standards of fiction. But it’s enough to redirect the course of the characters’ lives . . . scarcely knows, has already been unfaithful. A devoted dad’s irascible temperament explains the rest. What’s really significant about this opening is Norman’s style, which is as pared down as the police report it quotes; his short, declarative sentences leave deep gaps for our imaginations to fill. Throughout the novel, the omniscient narrator maintains a journalistic distance from his subjects, even as he dips in and out of their minds.

the narrator of a great children’s book — a genre that tends to be minimalist by necessity — he simply convinces us it was this way because it was. And he needs to convince us, because certain aspects of the story are odd indeed. Eleven months after the fight described in the first paragraph, we find David and his fatherin-law coexisting almost tranquilly on the desolate Nova Scotia estate where William has spent his life as caretaker. While William recovers from the

Though David’s actions precipitate the fight in the opening paragraph, his failure to act later is the central problem of the story. If he is devoted to Maggie — as everything indicates he is — why doesn’t he fight for her? Is he like one of the swans on the estate, lumbering from pond to pen with clipped wings? (Swans are known to be monogamous, i.e., “devotedâ€? — a conventional metaphor that Norman mercifully doesn’t milk here.)

A photographer whose images always seem derivative or clichĂŠd, he’s an observer, not a doer: From childhood on, his response to loss or grief has been to snap pictures. It’s an interesting character sketch, but one that never quite comes to life, perhaps because it feels more imagined than observed. Likewise, when Norman uses stories-within-the-story to make points about his characters, the metaphors can feel precious and unnecessary. Unnecessary because the strength of this novel lies in not having to show us that these people’s problems resonate in our own lives.

Marriage Blows

5/8/07 9:48:39 AM

Today, profanity registers faintly on the cultural Richter scale, and Albee’s three-hour marital skirmish contains fewer F-bombs than rapper 50 Cent tosses off in an average rhyme. Virginia Woolf retains its contemporary power because it shows how intimates inflict the deepest wounds. Vermont Stage Company closes its season with a bracing revival. Stephan Golux, directing an outstanding cast, gleefully embraced the dark, comedic underbelly of the dramatic war of words. The action takes place in an alcoholfueled haze. George and Martha arrive home after a faculty party at a small New England college. Even though it’s already 2 a.m., they’ve asked another couple — young biology professor Nick and his wife Honey — to join them for more drinks. The middle-aged couple’s living room becomes the scene of an all-night series of mind games, as George and Martha dissect each other and pick apart the younger pair’s seemingly happy façade.

SEVEN DAYS | may 09-16, 2007 | feature 45A

George presides over the well-stocked living room bar, but Martha constantly reminds him that he controls little else. Once heir apparent to Martha’s father as college president, George now languishes as an associate professor in the history department. Both Martha and “Daddy” have deemed George unworthy, as a husband and a successor to his virile, driven father-in-law. Nick’s bright prospects underscore George’s frustration and emasculation. George dispenses snarky tips to the new prof about getting ahead, such as drinking competitively and “plowing pertinent wives” of key faculty colleagues. Including, perhaps, his own. As the night wears on, the games

also performed strongly as a couple — and matched their characters’ physical types as closely as Hensley and Edwards did. Big kudos to director Golux and VSC artistic director Mark Nash for the wonderful casting. Where George and Martha have the seasoned rudeness of veteran marrieds, Nick and Honey practice newlywed politeness. But when Nick gets frisky with Martha and Honey gets to the bottom of the brandy bottle, their youthful attention to propriety rapidly disintegrates. The most telling marker of the young couple’s moral slide was Downing’s progressive dishevelment over the play’s three

Nick’s ambition plays a part, as does Honey’s brandy-induced barfing, which keeps her tied to the bathroom. But, much like the audience members, they have also become voyeurs, transfixed and repelled by the intimate view of a gruesome train wreck. And as George mercilessly excavates the not-so-pretty secrets behind the young couple’s own marriage, Nick and Honey worry: Are they witnessing a forecast of things to come? George is the complex ringmaster of the surrealist circus, a wielder of the whip who has taken quite a beating himself. Charlie Hensley carried off the role brilliantly. He brought a subtle joy to George’s jaded outlook, coloring his character’s rainbow of flippant remarks with shades of sarcasm, from saucy to sardonic. He gave George a growly, knowing laugh and loose, flexible body language. Hensley never let the prematurely aged George become an object of pity, despite sloped shoulders and a balding pate. At times his forehead furrowed with anger or his eyebrows hung low with sorrow, but still his eyes flashed with life. Although Martha is older than George, her voluptuous vitality — gone a bit blowzy with the booze — contrasts sharply with her husband’s lack of physical and career prowess. Alison Edwards played Martha like a curvy Queen Cleopatra, outwardly confident and in control of her realm. As Martha expertly manipulates her courtiers, however, Edwards showed how she also secretly needed them, especially as the games grow ugly. Her dirty, desperate dance with Nick — well choreographed by Gregory Ramos — cleverly demonstrated both Martha’s power (to seduce) and her lack of command (over her unfulfilled sexual desire). Hensley and Edwards made a convincing and intriguing pair — two people who have marinated so long in their bitterness that the juices pickling them may have also preserved them. As Nick and Honey, Alex Pierce and Kate Downing

acts. Her hairdo — a tight chignon — came undone as Honey did. Downing smartly played the dumb bunny, always a step behind. While the others traded sharp barbs, Downing kept her delicate features composed and slightly vacant, registering Honey’s placid demeanor as most everything flies over her hazy head. She was a comedic delight in several inappropriate outbursts: an interpretive dance to a solemn Beethoven passage, and raucous cheerleading atop the living room’s ottoman. Nick remains a bit of a cipher for much of the play — a vessel for George’s ire and for Martha’s desire, more than a character expressing his own needs. Pierce embodied Nick’s physical presence well: the square-shouldered ex-athlete, slightly ill at ease on an unfamiliar playing field. And he captured Nick’s initial earnestness, and eagerness to please and learn from his elders. Pierce’s affect stayed somewhat flat for most the play, however, and his physical movements remained slightly stiff. It was difficult to tell if this was a deliberate choice. But it worked well when George stalks Nick, making plain the irony that the older hunter is more agile than his young prey. Director Golux staged this production “in the round,” with the audience seated on all four sides of Jeff Modereger’s elegant living-room set. A large square of modernist benches lined the stage’s outer edge. Distressed leather upholstery alternated with inset wood tables — the characters need plenty of places to set down their highballs. Attached at opposite corners were two elaborate pieces of furniture: a beadboard cabinet enclosing a record player; and the well-stocked bar, with pro-style pouring spouts on the liquor bottles. Golux generally moved his characters well around the set, except for Honey, who had her back to one side of the audience until Act III. The field of play was large enough so that circumscribing the set — keeping the actors inside the visu-

A EXHIBIT Lewis Rubenstein: Watercolors and other media. Shelburne Art Center. Through May 26.

ARTWORK “Untitled Sketch” by Lewis Rubenstein

PHOTO Marc Awodey

1994 book about the life and work of Lewis Rubenstein (1908-2003) describes him as a “Hudson Valley painter.” But the scope of his vision was much broader, as evidenced in a strong collection of his watercolors, Asian-inspired brush paintings, sketches and a “time painting” at the Shelburne Art Center through May 26. Rubenstein’s Hudson Valley connection dates from 1939, when he joined the faculty of Vassar College, but his career was a long and fruitful one and included extensive travels in Asia, Europe and Latin America. After graduating from Harvard in 1930, Rubenstein studied mural painting in Italy and with Ferdinand Léger in Paris at the Académie Moderne. After returning to America, he worked on several projects with the WPA’s fine-arts section. In the Shelburne exhibition, a series of 16 spontaneous, untitled sketches of workers dating from 1937-38 reflect Rubenstein’s mastery of the social-realist aesthetic prominent during that era. They also demonstrate how he refined conventional ideas to make them his own. A particularly interesting piece is a pencil study with watercolor that captures ship workers painting the side of a large vessel red. In the intimacy of the moment, Rubenstein began by skillfully searching for form through gesture drawing, then defined the action with a confident, judicious use of color. That sort of deliberate risk-taking with the brush

would achieve stronger focus more than a decade later, in the early 1950s, when Rubenstein studied sumi-e brush painting as a Fulbright scholar in Japan. He fully synthesized the medium, adapting it to his own needs without mimicking Asian idioms — a trap into which so many contemporary American brush painters fall. Rubenstein’s 18-by-23-inch watercolor “Machu Picchu” is a beautiful example of his originality and power. In the clearly sumi-e-inspired image, the hulking Andean peak’s left edge seems to dissolve, while a bold, dark stroke meanders upward along the right side of the mountain. It was almost certainly produced on site in Peru. “Dunes Storm,” from 1956, may be a Provincetown piece. It’s an abstract cloud of lights and darks, pushing sumi-e technique toward the edge of Abstract Expressionism. “Lone Tree Hill III” is a more conventional watercolor. In the 7-by-21-inch Lake Champlain vista, Rubenstein lays down brilliant local color in patches of crimson, earth tones and Prussian blue. Gaps of white paper remain between the colored areas, affording each stroke a unique presence in the picture plane. Rubenstein also divided the horizontal composition into thirds with subtle vertical axes, employing the proportions of the Golden Section in an almost offhanded way. While watercolors dominate this exhibition, sam-

ples of the artist’s work in other media appear. “Praise Him with Dance,” dating from 1955, is a 14-by-19inch lithograph based on a mural Rubenstein painted for the Delaware Avenue Jewish Center of Buffalo, New York — his birthplace. The only oil in the exhibition is the 1952 “Mexican Gleaners,” a 24-by-34-inch canvas rooted in the tradition of Jean François Millet’s “The Gleaners” of 1857. With a brighter palette, Rubenstein depicts a mother with two children, one of whom is a toddler slung on her bent back. “Time Paintings” is Rubenstein’s designation for a somewhat eccentric style of paintings on scrolls with which he experimented beginning in the 1940s. Appearing in this exhibition is a 12-inch-wide scroll with about 2 feet showing, housed in a boxy apparatus that enabled viewers to crank a continuous narrative. The Shelburne piece is the story of Isaac rendered as a stain painting on linen, perhaps 20 feet long. Rubenstein’s scroll is reminiscent both of Asian horizontal scrolls and, considering his subject, of a Torah. In the 1994 book Lewis Rubenstein, A Hudson Valley Painter, the artist is quoted as saying, “Waterbased media are essentially performances in time. And with one cake of fine Chinese ink, one can really hold the world in one’s hand.” The worlds Rubenstein “held” with such insight continue to resonate from his time into ours. m

FLOWER FEST Sixteen exquisite watercolors by Annelein Beukenkamp enliven Shelburne’s Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery this month in a solo show called “Among the Lilies.� Most of the vibrant, translucent paintings are floral, although a few playfully decorative roosters also vie for visitors’ eyes. Beukenkamp is an award-winning watercolorist whose work is widely collected. “Among the Lilies� illustrates why. Pictured: “Red Amaryllis� by Annelein Beukenkamp.

theborowitzreport White House Seeks Lying Czar

T

he White House in recent weeks has been quietly searching for candidates for the position of “lying czar,” a high-level administrator who would oversee all distortions and misrepresentations about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a White House source confirmed today. News of the administration’s search for a “lying czar” raised eyebrows in official Washington, where many insiders believe that the White House already has enough personnel to handle the creation and dissemination of war-related lies. Specifically, many insiders wonder why an administration that already has advisor Karl Rove and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would also need a “lying czar.” “The Bush administration has a lot of worldclass manpower, lying-wise,” one insider said. “This whole ‘lying czar’ thing seems like an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.” But White House insiders disagree, saying that those who believe a “lying czar” is unnecessary are oblivious to the overwhelming volume of distortions that are sorely in need of coordination at a high administrative level. “On any given day, the Defense Department and the State Department will produce lies that are directly in conflict with each other, and that’s counterproductive,” one insider said. “A ‘lying czar’ would change all that.”

Professor Davis Logsdon, who holds the Clifford Irving chair at the University of Minnesota’s School of Communication, says that the need for a “lying czar” reveals certain weaknesses in the current Bush cabinet.

On any given day, the Defense Department and the State Department will produce lies that are directly in conflict with each other, and that’s counterproductive. insider

“When I hear that the White House is looking for a lying czar, one thing becomes clear,” Dr. Logsdon said. “They really miss Rumsfeld.”

by david thomas

Too Much of a Good Thing? Do we really need more Pokémon games? The arrival of two new portable titles, “Pokémon Diamond” and “Pokémon Pearl,” pushes the list of Pokémon games to more than 30. Add to that a dozen movies, television series, comic books, live shows and, of course, collectible trading cards, and you have a popculture wellspring with no signs of running dry. Strangely, what keeps the Pokémon juggernaut waddling along has little to do with innovation, since the series has remained oddly loyal to its simple game play and graphics. Rather, Pokémon remains popular because it creeps. Just as McDonald’s didn’t sell billions and billions of burgers by updating its formula every year, so Pokémon has mastered the art of cranking out predictable and pleasurable gaming products. When the series launched in the U.S. in 1998, Nintendo was already predicting a hit. Given its strong sales and wild popularity back in Japan, Pokémon’s North American arrival was expected to cause a hysteria comparable to The Beatles’ invasion. On schedule, “Pokémon Red” and “Blue” became smash hits for the Game Boy, and kids across the U.S. followed the marketing advice “Gotta Catch ’Em All!” Sales of the games and the trading cards became a financial windfall for Nintendo and transformed weirdly cute video-game monsters that live in red and white balls into international icons. The “Diamond” and “Pearl” games do right by the franchise with little tweaks and flourishes that make the games more enjoyable without taking away their lo-fi charm. As in every other Pokémon adventure, players set out to wander a flat world filled with wild Pokémon and competitive Pokémon trainers. Clobbering feral Pokémon gives you the chance to capture and

tame them. Winning sanctioned rounds earns badges and more changes to add to your pocketmonster stable. A few extra pixels here and a splash of color there, and you have a makeover on the cheap. This may seem like developer penny-pinching, but really it’s all about maintaining the integrity of the simple wonders that are Pokémon. The same simplicity comes through in the silly story, the bubbly dialogue and the friendly, turn-based combat. Nine years later, Pokémon still don’t die, instead fainting when they lose a battle. Talented Pokémon trainers strive to earn badges with the eagerness of an Eagle Scout. So why labor through another 40-hour adventure, carbon-copied from the dozens that have come before? Because all these years later, we still get a collector’s kick out of accumulating, even if all we’re getting are cute virtual creatures.

Who’s It For: If you’ve made it this far as a Pokéfanatic, there’s no turning back. Featuring all the classic play plus brand-new Pokémon to collect, “Pokémon Diamond” and “Pokémon Pearl” were designed to appeal to the fans. If You Like This, Try That: While it’s not one of the main Pokémon role-playing titles, “Pokémon Pinball” remains one of the more enjoyable games sporting the brand. Best Part: With more than 400 different Pokémon scattered across the various games, catching them all could turn into a life’s work. Fortunately, you can migrate previous catches from old Game Boy Advance games to “Pokémon Diamond” and “Pokémon Pearl.” But beware — once a Pokémon moves from an old game, he’s gone from that title forever.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): I’m a big fan of facing your problems head-on and dealing forthrightly with your pain. But what if that approach isn’t always best? Renowned psychologist Richard Lazarus said he wanted to “challenge the view that psychological health demands full realism.” He believed that some sick people get healthy faster by refusing to admit how serious their problems are. To those in stressful situations, he recommended that they could reduce their anxiety by describing their predicament in a matter-of-fact way. “Avoiding what is painful, to a great extent, seems to serve a positive function,” he concluded. Although I’m not sure this strategy is universally applicable, I do recommend it for you right now, Aries.

TAURUS

most potent healing songs you know into your own head.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The counsel

I’m about to offer is not given lightly. If you choose to heed it, it could wreak discomfort and disorder, at least initially. And you’ll have to pump yourself up with more courage than you’re used to feeling. Still, I’m convinced it’s the right thing for you to hear; I believe that any breakdown it might engender will ultimately lead to a breakthrough. So here’s the advice, courtesy of Franz Kaka: “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

LEO

(April 20-May 20): To get misguided tips about how to invest, check out Henry Blodget’s “The Complete Bad Advice Column” (tinyurl.com/ys4al8). For crabby, meanspirited counsel about how to conduct your personal life, listen to Dr. Laura’s syndicated radio show (drlaura.com). For silly chatter about trivial subjects, read the “most intelligent woman in the world,” Marilyn vos Savant (marilynvossavant.com). But if, on the other hand, you’d like brilliant guidance about where to direct your substantial life energy next, tap into your own intuition. The astrological omens suggest that it’s working better now than it ever has. It’s far more useful to you than any socalled expert’s blatherings.

(July 23-Aug. 22): In 2005, former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani was paid $100,000 for speaking at a fundraiser for tsunami relief. That’s a prime example of giving a gift with steel cable-like strings attached. Be wary of this phenomenon popping up in your own life, Leo. Don’t accept such mixed blessings, and don’t offer them, either. That’s the cautionary news. The encouraging news is that if you’re vigilant in guarding against generosity-that-isn’t-reallygenerosity, the coming weeks will be favorable for the giving and receiving of modest gifts that have a big impact. Visualize Giuliani getting, say, an honorarium of $5000 for his help in raising money for a good cause, and you’ll plant the right seed in your subconscious mind.

aborigines of northwestern Australia believe that music literally has curative properties. In one traditional method, the healer sings a medicine song directly into the top of the head of the patient. The sound circulates through the body, driving out the illness or unease. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, something resembling this approach could help chase away your current malaise. Do you think you could find a shaman or shaman wannabe to perform the musical “surgery”? If not, do the job yourself. Spend 20 minutes a day singing the

leisurely bike ride in a rural neighborhood where I’d never been. The houses were sparsely placed amidst overgrown meadows. The temperature was balmy. My endorphins had kicked in and the fragrance of wildflowers had rendered me giddy. Then my mood shifted suddenly. While rolling downhill on a one-lane road, I hit a speed bump — freakishly, unexpectedly, right in the middle of paradise. Why was it there? My bike stopped cold and I flew through the air, landing awkwardly. The damage was minimal, and the shock was a bit invigorating. Still, I

advise you, Virgo, to watch out for and avoid a comparable speed bump out there in the frontier you’re exploring. There’s no inherent karmic necessity for you to experience an inconvenient interruption like mine. Add 10 percent more caution to your roving and rambling.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Ordinary life

does not interest me,” wrote Anaïs Nin in one of her diaries. “I seek only the high moments. I am searching for the marvelous.” Normally I might discourage you from pursuing that approach, Libra. You’ve got money to make and appointments to keep and groceries to buy, after all. And doing those tasks can make it hard to specialize in the marvelous. But for a limited time only, the planetary powers-that-be are granting you an exemption from the ordinary. More than that, actually: They’re insisting on it. You need intimate contact with unreasonable beauty, sweet anomalies, beguiling ephemera, inexplicable joys, and small changes that inspire reverence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’ll be fine to

eat ice cream with a fork this week. It’ll be kind of cool to enter through exits, too, and you may generate good luck if you smash a mirror with a hammer or talk about subjects you’re normally too superstitious to broach. You should also consider fixing things before they’re broken, and listen ravenously to what’s not being said. But please avoid trying to drink coffee with a sieve, Scorpio. Refrain from saying what you don’t mean. And don’t you dare try to fall up.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We were expelled from Paradise,” wrote Franz Kafka in The Blue Octavo Notebooks, “but Paradise was not destroyed. In a sense our expulsion from Paradise was a stroke of luck, for had we not been expelled, Paradise would have had to be destroyed.” Do those ruminations strike a chord in you, Sagittarius? I hope they move you to turn your thoughts towards your own personal version of paradise-on-Earth. Consider the possibility that it was important for you to have

5x4-GrnMtnCamera050207.indd 1

been exiled from that land of bounty once upon a time. Meditate on what you’ll need to do to prepare yourself to return to it when it becomes accessible again in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Most

painting in the European tradition involved painting the person’s mask,” wrote abstract expressionist painter Robert Motherwell. “Modern art rejected all that. Our subject matter has been the person behind the mask.” Your next assignment is similar to that of modern art’s, Capricorn: to recognize everyone’s persona, but delve deeper to explore the maddeningly complex, crazily inscrutable, gorgeously wounded soul that’s hidden beneath everyone’s persona. Strip away the surface, in other words, and investigate the essence lurking below.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The zoo in

Anchorage, Alaska, built a treadmill for its fourton elephant. The cost was high — $150,000 — but hey, if you own an elephant, you’d better take good care of it, right? Use this vignette as your operative metaphor, Aquarius. What’s the symbolic equivalent of an elephant in your life — some exotic resource or giant responsibility or out-of-place treasure? Whatever it is, it needs extra care and attention. I’m not saying you have to spend a load of money. But you should at least spend some of your high-quality time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dear Pisces: We

need a break from all these words we use, all this rational discourse. So how about if we sing to each other in a made-up language? Or we could use felt-tip markers to draw pictures and symbols on each other’s bodies. Let’s jump in over our heads and dance for each other underwater. Let’s pretend we’re two Helen Kellers tapping out codes on each other’s wrists and ankles. Let’s scrawl the stream-of-consciousness truths we want to express to each other on golden cards, and read them aloud to each other like we’re announcing Oscar winners.

Confidential and Wonder Boys, for God’s sake. At this point in his career, one would figure that Hanson’s making a movie this thoroughly merit-free is almost a physical impossibility. One would be wrong. Lucky You was probably intended as a gritty tale of the gambling life in the tradition of The Cincinnati Kid, but it’s really more in the tradition of amateur theater. And saying even that makes me feel like apologizing to community thespians everywhere.

Eric Bana plays Huck Cheever, a Vegas hunk with a rep as a lady’s man, despite the facts that he possesses all the charisma of a blackjack dealer and spends every waking moment obsessing about Texas Hold ’Em. He’s a regular at every casino he enters, and his knowledge of the game is encyclopedic. There’s just one problem: This character is a poorly written pinhead. He keeps scraping together a few bucks, outplaying everybody at the table, and amassing mountains of chips — only to bet aggressively until he’s flat broke again. By the 15th or 16th time Bana’s character does this, you just want to grab one of poker consultant Doyle Brunson’s crutches and pummel the hero unconscious. If Curtis Hanson is slumming here, imagine how out of place the legendary Robert Duvall seems. Especially in the one-dimensional role of Huck’s poker-pro pop, and underneath what may well be the most regrettable toupée in movie history. When the pair winds up playing across from each other, you know their rocky relationship is supposed to create all kinds of tension. But their face-offs are about as exciting as watching someone have his taxes prepared. Into this dramatic vacuum waltzes Drew Barrymore, and you can feel the audience hanging its last hopes on her to inject the film with an ounce of life or sense or wit. Within seconds she is romantically linked with Bana, so hope is kept alive. But then

The Wind That Shakes the Barley HHHH

T PAINT THE TOWN GREEN Ken Loach’s gritty historical film recalls one leg of the long, strange trip toward Irish sovereignty.

his Tuesday, Northern Ireland is set to inaugurate its first-ever power-sharing government, thanks to a historic accord between a former Irish Republican Army commander and his longtime Unionist arch enemy. Meanwhile, English director Ken Loach (Hidden Agenda, Land and Freedom) uses the time machine of cinema to remind us why it took years of careful negotiation to achieve that springtime détente. The movie’s setting is rural Ireland, starting in 1920. In the wake of the 1916 Easter Rebellion, troops of British Black and Tans patrol the countryside, brutally suppressing stirrings of dissent. When a young local man is killed after he taunts the soldiers, refusing to state his name in English, his peers join up with the IRA. Low on guns, they wage war on the occupiers using the weapon of surprise. Bloody ambushes lead to arrests and torture sessions, which in turn lead to more bloody ambushes. Though the landscape is very green, there’s no Irish charm or sentimentality in this movie — war is hell, even for a good cause, and Loach wants us to know it. He stages an IRA execution of traitors against a ferny hillside worthy of a postcard, and he shows us how that cold-blooded, politically necessary act affects both the relatives of the dead and the man who pulled the trigger. The film eschews standard war-movie embellishments such as a swelling score and montage sequences, leaving us with faux-documentary realism.

We get the sense that for Loach, the movie’s real hero isn’t anyone in particular. It’s the community pulling together against a common enemy, and then struggling with the new challenges of self-governance. In one scene that looks a little like a town meeting, the rebels — men and women alike — argue over whether to encourage the redistribution of the village’s wealth. Loach, known for the pro-socialist slant in his movies, suggests that the IRA missed an opportunity here to become a truly radical liberation force. But since this is still a drama, it needs a protagonist. The action focuses on Damien (Cillian

she sings. (Her character, Billie Offer, has traveled to Sin City to pursue a career as a chanteuse.) And then, with even ghastlier results, she speaks. “You know what I think?” she philosophizes while on a date with Bana. “I think everyone’s just trying not to be lonely.” So much for hope. All that’s left is a glacially slow run-up to the 2003 World Series of Poker. That’s right. Warner Bros. has been holding this puppy close to its vest for some time now, and it’s easy to see why. Card play may be curiously addictive on TV, but looking on as movie characters deal hand after hand in pretty much real time is indescribably dull. I think I actually saw Duvall aging. Will Bana make it to the final round? Will he wind up playing against his old man? Will the two finally work things out? Will Barrymore croon a cringingly awful tune at a lounge called Dino’s? Will anyone care one way or the other after sitting through two and a quarter hours of this bafflingly lifeless baloney? Little in this world is certain, but I would put money on the likelihood that Lucky You is at this very moment being flagged by critics from coast to coast for their 2007 Ten Worst lists. This film isn’t just bad. It’s Gigli-bad. The dialogue alone is enough to guarantee a place in bad-movie history. The shocking thing is that it’s terrible on so very many levels. Artistically, neither its director, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor nor stars were playing with anything close to a full deck. How infinitely better it would have been for all involved had what happened in Vegas. in this case. really stayed in Vegas. RICK KISONAK

Murphy), who’s about to leave for medical school in England when the conflict breaks out. His militant brother Teddy (Padraic Delaney) tries to recruit him, but the idealistic Damien is more swayed by the example of railway union members who refuse to transport the British. For a while, the brothers fight shoulder to shoulder. But after the Republicans accept a peace treaty, inaugurating the Irish Free State — and the partition of Northern Ireland — ideological differences drive them apart. Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty are on familiar ground when they dramatize the 1922 Irish Civil War as a conflict in a family, a literal house divided. But the characters remain on the drawing board, more ideas than individuals. Murphy, who starred in 28 Days Later and then did juicy turns as Hollywood villains in Red Eye and Batman Begins, is plausible as an extremist with a conscience. (And his brogue is so thick, it’s easy to forget him in those other roles.) But the devices the script invents to motivate Damien aren’t always adequate to the task. A romantic subplot feels perfunctory. One element that’s sorely missing from the film is a glimpse of life in this town before the Black and Tans martyred a local lad. Some glasses raised in the pub and feeble flickers of humor are the only hints we get of normalcy. Loach’s focus on the conflict is relentless, and scenes involving torture and murder are excruciating to watch. But then, that’s the point. By removing all the gimmickry and fun we associate with action movies, The Wind That Shakes the Barley forces us to contemplate the costs of violence — and to value the impulse that made two old diehards shake hands in Belfast this month.

Stayin’ Alive is it possible to get by on food stamps? by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

A

t the end of April, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski joined a “Food Stamp Challenge.â€? For a full week, he and his wife sustained themselves on just $3 per person per day. Although critics dismissed the move as a publicity stunt, an article in The Oregonian suggests Kulongoski’s motive was to “raise awareness about the difficulty of feeding a family on a food-stamp budget.â€? What did the governor eat? Lots of bananas, peanut butter sandwiches, mac ’n’ cheese, and Cup o’ Noodles soups. While many constituents praised him for bringing attention to the oft-ignored issue of “food insecurity,â€? others were dismayed at some of his food choices. Here in Vermont, 50,261 people received $4,603,223 worth of food stamps in March. Although most grocers are reluctant to release information about the specific food items all that money bought, Gov. Kulongoski’s diet raises some questions: How much of it should go to Kraft and whoever makes those really cheap noodle soups, rather than to farmers or local businesses? Can you eat healthily on food stamps? What happens if you’re committed to buying organic or local foods? I attempted to answer those questions when I created — and shopped for — a frugal one-week menu for my two-person family. The budget? $66.05. How did I end up getting more than Oregon’s governor? RenĂŠe Richardson, food and nutrition program director at

2IGHT NOW SAVE UP TO

the Vermont Agency of Human Services, explains that food-stamp benefits are based on something called the USDA’s “thrifty food plan.� According to the USDA website, the plan “provides a representative healthful and minimal-cost meal plan that shows how a nutritious diet may be achieved with limited resources.� The TFP is used to determine how little a person or family can spend and still get needed calories, fiber, vitamins and minerals. For one person, that breaks down to around $1.72 per meal, or $155 per month. Each additional family member garners another, slightly smaller allowance. As a household’s income increases, food-stamp benefits decrease. This doesn’t mean people should ever spend less on food, Richardson explains; it’s because the government expects them to chip in a few bucks. Sixty-six dollars and five cents is the allotment for two people with zero income. The USDA doesn’t believe a two-person family in the continental U.S. can live on less. Residents of Alaska and Hawaii get slightly more because of the higher cost of living there. Planning and Shopping The smallest head of organic cabbage at City Market weighs more than 2 pounds. The thought occurs to me that I may be able to save a few cents by breaking off the ugly outer leaves — the ones I’d normally compost anyway. Suddenly, I’m looking over my shoulder to see if any employees or customers are watching me. I dismiss the sneaky idea and put the cabbage in

my cart as is, realizing the bruised part won’t go to waste. The leaves will go into a batch of chicken stock later in the week, along with a few carrot tops and onion scraps. My first crisis is over, but I still have $63.22 left to spend. After looking carefully at my shopping list for the week, I decide I can live without sunflower seeds and buy fewer lentils than I’d planned. If the chickens weigh more than expected — as they do today

— something else needs to go. I’ve never spent so much time running back and forth between the bulk bins and the scale. Abandoning the shopping cart temporarily has its own risks, such as drawing the ire of impatient patrons. All in all, I’m able to buy enough food for three square meals a day plus small snacks. Almost everything I purchase is local, all-natural or organic. But plan>> 0 B

Food Stamp Menu Shopping List

ning the menu down to the penny and shopping so meticulously requires more time than I would normally spend on these tasks — hours more. How much dry couscous does it take to make one serving? Who knows? I rely on the Joy of Cooking for all of my culinary research. To keep things interesting, I make sure that no two meals are the same, and that fresh fruits and vegetables play starring roles. Nonetheless, I can’t afford enough produce to meet the Food Pyramid’s recommendations, even after foraging a couple of free pounds of fiddlehead ferns from the edge of a pond. Had I opted for conventional and non-local products, with the same amount of planning and the same budget, I could have crafted some really enticing dishes. But what I came up with is basic, healthy and, hopefully, filling enough. >

Chewing at Church

Coffee Culture

ST. PAUL’S SERVES UP SOME HISTORY

NEW BEANS AT BORDERS

Usually, church dinners revolve around community, not cuisine. Visitors expect hearty, home-style dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, chicken and biscuits or fried fish. But at the spring supper at Burlington’s St. Paul’s Cathedral this Friday, a few of the recipes have a special claim to culinary fame: They come from the oldest continually published church cookbook in the United States. The tome, Out of Vermont Kitchens, was first printed in 1939. Editions have been released every few years. “Women submitted their handwritten recipes in their best handwriting, and that’s how they’re printed. It’s all hand-illustrated,” explains Church Administrator Sarah Gallagher. “It’s really neat.” In 1990, church members put out a second volume, Vermont Kitchens Revisited. The newer book is typeset, with illustrations by Vermont artist Margaret Parlour. The newest versions of both are available at local bookstores and at St. Paul’s. Are you a collector? Older copies of both cookbooks can sometimes be found at used-book stores. Tasty offerings at the dinner will include sesame chicken with lemon sauce, greens with maple balsamic dressing and pineapple cake with ginger frosting. The meal costs $10 for adults and $6 for children under 12. Seatings are at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. A children’s menu is offered at the early seating. The second features “special music.” Call for reservations at 864-0471.

Fresh Frisch CHAMPLAIN BIZ KIDS ROLL IN COLD CASH

Burlingtonians can already buy burgers, fries and creamees from Beansies, a big, yellow, stationary bus at Battery Park. Starting next week, they will also be able to get ice-cream sandwiches and push-pops from a roving, purple-and-white bus. The new company is descriptively named Short Bus Ice Cream. It’s the brainchild of two 20-yearold Champlain College students and best buds, Ian Frisch and Keegan Flynn. Start-up costs only ran “a few thousand dollars,” Frisch reports. Part of that was used to buy the bus. Most of SBIC’s frozen products will come from

Ben & Jerry’s, and will be the usual “ice cream truck” fare. However, the gents do have a homemade house specialty called “The Frozen Bouke.” The oddly titled treat is an ice-cream sandwich made with graham crackers. It’s named after Chris Tamboukes, a friend who introduced them to it. Other offerings include lemonade, soda, water and toothbrushes. Toothbrushes? “We hope to promote . . . healthy habits,” Frisch explains; when “a little income comes our way, we plan on buying personalized toothbrushes to give to kids when they buy our ice cream.” Guess adults will have to fend for their own dental hygiene. Where should you look for the bus? Anywhere in Burlington except in the vicinity of Church Street, Frisch explains. Their permit doesn’t allow it to compete on the Marketplace.

In 2004, Starbucks Corp. and Borders Group, Inc. made a deal: Borders would begin replacing its cafés with branches of Starbucks-owned Seattle’s Best Coffee. Now it’s Burlington’s turn. During the month of June, Café Espresso in downtown’s biggest bookstore will be replaced with a new, improved coffee shop. According to Borders Operations Manager Heather Carstairs, “They’re going to totally revamp it and repaint it. They’ll have new furniture for outside.” And the café has already begun to phase in a few new food products such as Eli’s cheesecake and carrot cake. But “the biggest change is just going to be to the drinks themselves,” she suggests. Carstairs isn’t sure when construction is slated to begin: The corporation hasn’t been particularly forthcoming with info. But she does know that the buzz-producing biz will close for two weeks, then reopen under the new name. No other aspects of Borders’ business will be affected.

To Market, to Market FARMERS GIVE SPACE A CHANCE IN CITY HALL PARK

This Saturday, the Burlington Farmers’ Market gets started in City Hall Park. But the event, known for its wide array of edible options and its congested sidewalks, is getting a bit of a facelift. Vendors will no longer face each other across narrow strips of concrete. Instead, there will be one line of carts on College Street, and additional ones on the walkways that lead to the fountain at the park’s center. Mara Welton of Half Pint Farm, who sells veggies with husband Spencer and is also the market’s treasurer, explains that the overcrowding had gotten out of hand. “People would say, ‘I’m never coming back,’” she exclaims. Members of the Market’s steering committee decided it was time to solve the problem; they hope that frustrated former patrons hear about the upgrade and give shopping another shot. To keep abreast of public sentiment about the adjustments, the group plans to rigorously “collect information and suggestions from customers.” Says Welton, “I think we might have fixed the problem,” but “there will be lots of opportunities to give . . . feedback.” Farmers’ markets already open, or also opening this weekend, include Bennington, Brattleboro, Hardwick, Montpelier, Rutland, South Royalton and Vergennes. Visit www.nofa.org for information about specific markets.

TRY BURLINGTON’S NEWEST LUNCH SPOT! Downtown’s Biggest Lunch Salad Bar! Eat In or Take It Out!

or some people, eating out is a chance to turn the brain off and enjoy. Not so for Lauren Daigle, 19. “My family actually makes fun of me when they bring the bread basket. If I know it’s a restaurant that makes its own bread, I’ll sit there and critique the bread,” she says. “Yes, I do sit there, and I analyze the bread.” Aspiring food reviewer? Obsessive carb counter? No — Daigle, of Vernon, Connecticut, is a baking-and-pastry student at Montpelier’s La Brioche. There’s more than a pinch of irony — maybe more like a dash or dollop — in the idea of a New England Culinary Institute student going out to eat at a local restaurant. This is, after all, a world-class culinary school that serves haute cuisine to both

opportunity for stressed-out students to relax and socialize. It also gives them a chance to “study” — to case the joint, food-wise, observing what’s on the plate and how it’s being served. Like it or not, NECI students, young or old, are or soon will be card-carrying food critics for life. “It’s definitely a curse at first,” says 21-year-old student Sean Marcoux. “The first year I went out it was, like, you’re almost scared. You’re looking around the restaurant, and you’re looking at the glasses. You’ve heard all these horror stories in class. You kind of don’t want to go out — unless you want to spend $100.” Now that he’s almost finished at NECI, Marcoux says, “I’m not as critical. I’m not as much of a food snob as I was a year ago.”

it is budget,” says Montpelier student Daigle. She says she and her friends eat out about once a week. They don’t stray far, though, often ending up back at The Main Street Bar & Grill. (Off-duty NECI students get a 20 percent discount at NECIrun facilities, which include The Main Street Grill and Chef ’s Table in Montpelier and The Tavern and Butler’s in the Inn at Essex.) “We mainly do it just because we know the students who are cooking and kind of want to see what they can do and how they’ve progressed in their abilities,” Daigle says. For students at the Essex campus, the restaurant scene is altogether different. The Burlington area offers many more dining options than does Montpelier, provided students have access to a car. Bryan Andregg, 33, and his wife are determined to try

its paying customers and the students at its Montpelier and Essex campuses, who have three daily meals included in their tuition. Forget spaghetti and meatballs; at NECI we’re talking foie gras and truffles. Of course, if NECI students ate all their meals on campus, they’d be the exception, not the rule. “People are eating at home less and less. The restaurant business is expanding,” says George Malek, who as executive director of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce in Berlin keeps a watchful eye on business trends. “It’s amazing to me just how much more people eat at restaurants than they used to,” agrees Mary Rosholt, who teaches nutrition courses at NECI. “Today something like 40 percent of meals are eaten away from home.” For NECI students, eating out offers convenience and a break from the rich school fare. Wannabe slumming? Perhaps. But eating out is more than an

Food snob? That term’s a bit harsh. But there’s no question that NECI students know their stuff; they’re well on their way to becoming culinary wizards, leaving the rest of us meatloaf-andmashed-potatoes folk grinning stupidly in their wake. Sherri Gilmore, NECI director of admissions, likes to refer to the 300 or so students currently enrolled at the school as “very dedicated foodies.” She also describes them as “equalopportunity diners” whom she sees frequenting the Langdon Street Café, Positive Pie 2 and McGillicuddy’s Irish Pub. Class schedules and personal finances play a large role in when, where and how often a student eats out. First-year students tend to work the first half of the day: up at 6 a.m. and home by 3:30 or 4. For secondyear students, the day begins around noon and winds down after 10. At that hour, however, their stomachs are still wide awake. “Do I go out much? A lot of

as many restaurants as possible. “We’re constantly trying new places to decide what our favorite restaurant will be,” he says. As a first-year student with an early schedule, Andregg tends to eat dinner at home, but the couple tries to go out once a week, usually to slightly nicer restaurants, he says. In the six and a half months he’s been in Essex, the Andreggs have sampled Taste, Smokejacks, L’Amante, Trattoria Delia, Bistro Sauce, Sonoma Station and Leunig’s Bistro. Still on Andregg’s list of places to try: The Bearded Frog Bar & Grill, Starry Night Café and Black Sheep Bistro. Chain restaurants don’t make the cut. “I just don’t see a point in that,” he says. “We go to places where the food is being prepared and cooked there, and it’s not coming from a boil-in-the-pouch bag.” Essex-campus student Gerald Peralta espouses a different philosophy. He’s a fan of Moe’s Southwest Grill — where he

goes two or three times a week — New World Tortilla and Wendy’s. Peralta is no junkfood junkie, however. He also frequents such upscale eateries as A Single Pebble, American Flatbread Company and Smokejacks; for the “diner experience,” he likes JP’s Pub and Al’s French Frys. Needless to say, studying charcuterie by day doesn’t rule out tracking down good burgers by night. Daigle says she and many of her Montpelier classmates head out to McGillicuddy’s after getting off work late at night. Not only does its kitchen serve until 11 p.m., but burgers on the whole are a favorite of the NECI crowd — besides McGillicuddy’s, they like the ones served at The Black Door and J. Morgan’s Steakhouse. “It’s a really casual-upscale sort of atmosphere,” Marcoux says of J. Morgan’s. Nowhere else in Montpelier really has that, except for the [Main Street

Bar &] Grill, and you kind of want to get away from school.” But not all burgers are created equal. Fast-food restaurants get a thumbs down from most NECI students. “Fast food isn’t something that culinary students even consider,” says Marcoux, who’s wrapping up his last few weeks at NECI. “It’s really not appealing anymore. I had been a fast-food guy before, absolutely, until I heard about the grades of beef they use, and after reading Fast Food Nation and seeing the documentary on McDonald’s.” How do you keep the discriminating diner from becoming a culinary Debbie Downer? “I don’t want to go out to a restaurant and be the guy who says, ‘I can’t believe my carrot isn’t exactly a quarter-inch on all sides,’” says Andregg, then draws an analogy: “It’s really easy for introductory medical students to find that they’re sick with every illness they

4/23/07 4:11:04 PM

read about. It’s really easy for introductory culinary students to discover everything is not up to the standards we’re being taught.” All the same, Andregg concludes, “If the food tastes good, if the wine is good, and everyone’s having a great time, then there’s no reason to make your meal less than that because you are concerned that the potatoes have been cut in the wrong shape.” For burrito-loving Peralta, the proof of a good restaurant is in the pudding, ambiance and companionship be damned. “I would prefer a quality restaurant that knows their market as opposed to a restaurant trying to be something that they are definitely not,” he says. “I am content with a restaurant with good, quality food that is interested in showing off the food, the final product. Do not throw in all the side shows. Just cook the food, and make it the best you can.” >

on alto and soprano has led to collaborations with hip-hopper Guru, pop-rockers Sting and Peter Gabriel and even the late Miles Davis. His talent and charisma is well matched by the legendary

Pharoah Sanders (pictured), whose post-Coltrane explorations resulted in some of the most impassioned and aggressive hornplay ever captured on record. He’s traded some of that early fire for a more reflective style, but Sanders’ instinct for improv makes him an eternally vital figure in jazz.

LORD OF THE STRINGS

What if the late Frank Zappa had a thing for trad blues and Americana, stopped being so cryptically cynical and underwent a major attitude adjustment? Well, he might’ve sounded a bit like David Bromberg, the eclectic folk hero, bluesman and songwriter extraordinaire, who plays the Higher Ground Ballroom on Saturday, May 12. I’ve only recently been turned on to Bromberg’s music, and by recently, I mean, like, this morning. But I’m already convinced he’s one of the most effortlessly creative axemen I’ve ever heard. His playing is strong in nearly every conceivable style of American music — from intricate folk and peppery bluegrass to stinging electric blues. Bromberg isn’t quite a household name, but the fact that he’s playing HG’s big room should tell you something about his cult following. Musicians particularly revere him, so you can expect to see some of our local heroes scattered throughout the audience at Saturday’s show. In last week’s column, I told you about the big Bob Dylan concert coming to the Champlain Valley Expo on July 1. Here’s an interesting tie-in: In addition to work with Tom Paxton and Jerry Jeff Walker, Bromberg played sideman to Dylan on the albums New Morning and Self Portrait. He also produced a handful of tracks for Bobby D’s old-time covers record, Good as I Been to You, but none of the cuts were used on the final release. It’s a good bet Dylan’s legendary unpredictability had something to do with it. Bromberg is something of an erratic performer himself. He first came to national attention as part of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene; after appearing on numerous records throughout the following two decades, he quit playing music to become a violin maker in Chicago. Can’t blame Dylan for that. Now relocated to Delaware, Bromberg is once again hitting select stages. Those in the know will definitely be at the South Burlington show. Everyone else should take my word for it and check him out.

NEW MUSICAL CRUSH Ah, spring — the time of year when a young(ish) Music Editor’s fancy turns to . . . female singer-songwriters? I know, I know. I can’t believe it myself. But the warmer weather has me swapping avantrock and math-y metal for the sweet, sonorous sound of lady troubadours such as the Big Apple’s Megan Hickey, a.k.a The Last Town Chorus. TLTC plays a special $3 show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Tuesday. If you think Hickey’s music is all sunny and chirpy, you’ve got the wrong gal. Her music is gorgeously ghostly, with autobiographical sketches delivered in a reverb-rich voice somewhere between those of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval and Cat Power. Cooler still is the fact that Hickey plays distorted lap-steel guitar. Her drawn-out melodies skirt across the acoustic accompaniment like a sky full of ravens on a lazy, cloudless afternoon. Her song “Huntsville 1989” perfectly captures the dual feelings of alienation and exhilaration that accompany almost everyone’s teenage years.

Also excellent is her cover of David Bowie’s early ’80s anti-materialist anthem, “Modern Love.” I think it was even played on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Go figure. Hell, I’m thinking of sending the producers a demo. To summarize: The Last Town Chorus is sweet, sad and sexy. And at $3, how can you go wrong? Hear some of her stuff at — you guessed it — www.MySpace.com/TheLastTownChorus.

MORE SUMMER ACTION Higher Ground continues to unveil its outdoor summer concert lineup, with two major show announcements this week. Sure, they’re both a ways off, but it never hurts to plan ahead, right? First up is another addition to the Ben & Jerry’s Concerts on the Green at Shelburne Museum series. Here’s a hint: He’s a Vermont favorite and played a buncha bluegrass with the late Jerry Garcia. I’m sure you’ve figured out I’m talking about mandolin maestro David Grisman, who appears with his quintet on July 21. Also on the bill are Vermont’s acoustic superstars Bluegrass Gospel Project and Bad Livers’ banjo man Danny Barnes. Word on the street is, one more act will be added to the bill a little later down the line. Remember back at the turn of the millennium, when rumors abounded that a reunited Pink Floyd would be performing Y2K-style in front of the Great Pyramid in Egypt? Well, that didn’t happen, but it might be almost as cool to see lauded Floyd cover band The Machine play the Burlington Waterfront. The group is a familiar presence in the Green Mountains; they’ll bring their spot-on renditions of PF staples back to town on Friday, August 17. Nothing like space-rock under a starry autumn sky. You won’t be able to see the dark side of the moon, but you’ll surely hear it. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, May 11, and can be purchased at the Higher Ground box office, online at www. HigherGroundMusic.com or by calling 888-512-SHOW.

THE WEIRD AND THE WILD

Wanted to give all you avant-garde heads out there a heads-up about another show coming to town via Greg Davis’ Burlington Sounds Project. This one features raccoo-oo-oon, which Davis describes as a “freaky psych band from Iowa City in the vein of Animal Collective.” And judging from local music blog activity, you all know who they are. Also on the bill is Evan Miller, another Iowa City talent originally from Oklahoma. Miller, a guitarist, is among the recent crop of sixstringers inspired by the transcendent folk stylings of the late John Fahey. Blues and old-time also make their way into his live sets, which Davis calls “mesmerizing.” Rounding out the roster are locals Pink Bacon — could you pick a grosser name? — a trio of exNest Material dudes. So expect some truly trippy shit. My goodness — I almost forgot to tell you where the show is taking place! Let’s fix that right quick: Kria Studio on 333 North Winooski Ave. is the venue. Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door and should run between five and seven bucks. Consider yourselves informed.

LIFE IS A . . . WELL, YOU KNOW

What can I say about the Spielpalast Cabaret that hasn’t been said before? How ’bout where and when this year’s run is happening? DAVID GRISMAN The raucous, randy ladies and gents of the SC will entertain those old enough to vote at Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium on May 11, 12, 13, 17, 18 & 19. Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 day-of-show; grab yours at the Flynn Regional Box office, online at www.flynnTix.org or by calling 86FLYNN.

CLUB BANGERS One last bit before I bid you adieu for the week: There’s a new electronic music event taking place at Burlington’s Club Metronome every other Sunday for the foreseeable future. It’s called “Sanctuary — Where Electronica Lives,” and will be promoted by a consortium of local DJs, including Elliot Matos, Will Taylor, Pat Spiegel, Chris Pattison, Janet Newberry, Adrian Sackheim, Mike Henderson and Justin Remillard. If you’re at all familiar with the local techno/house/drum ’n’ bass/dance scene, you no doubt recognize most of those names. The first edition of the biweekly party features San Francisco turntablist Justin Martin, Montréal’s Rob Brown and locals Justin R.E.M., DJK and Sekhmet. Tickets are $12 for under-21-year-olds, $6 for booze-legal bodies.

KITCHEN SINK INCLUDED ::

Art-rock/jazz/jam hybrids

Banyan were formed as a side project by ex-Jane’s Addiction skinsman

Stephen Perkins back in the late 1990s. Although the touring version of the group features a rotating cast of players, its records most often feature avant-rock axe man (and current Wilco member) Nels Cline, punk bass god Mike Watt and trumpeter Willie Waldman. The band’s sound melds hypnotic rock with exploratory jazz, funk and everything in between. Banyan’s latest disc, Live at Perkins’ Place, is arguably their most intense work to date. Hear them at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Saturday with locals Party Star.

SEVEN DAYS | may 09-16, 2007 | music 15B

reviewthis CURSIVE, HAPPY HOLLOW

ALO, ROSES & CLOVER (Brushfire Records, CD) The English language reportedly contains nearly one million words, with thousands more coined every day. With such a staggering array of terms to choose from, why do so many songwriters use the same tired clichĂŠs and ham-fisted metaphors over and over again? I’m considering founding an action group to deal with the matter. We’ll call ourselves M.A.C.E — Musician Advocates for ClichĂŠ Eradication — and meet monthly to discuss strategy and, possibly, a better acronym. First on the agenda: Animal Liberation Orchestra, or ALO. Hailing from California, ALO trade in the type of breezy, sun-soaked jam-pop popularized by surferdude-turned-acoustic-guitar-wielding-heartthrob Jack Johnson. The group makes its home on Johnson’s label, Brushfire Records and presumably spends loads of time sitting around beach bonfires, discussing how rad life is, bro. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to spend much time discussing how to write about it. Roses and Clover is loaded with the type of welterweight wisdom one would expect to find on bumper stickers in a head shop or, perhaps, any recent Dave Matthews Band album. ALO recently toured with DMB and seem to share the same penchant for comparing the soul to water. And trees. And clouds. They also compare love to water. And trees. And clouds. Come on, guys. One million freakin’ words! Buy a thesaurus. Fortunately, there are only eight notes in a scale, and ALO use them all extremely well. Guitarist Dan Lebowitz, bassist Steve Adams, multi-instrumentalist Zach Gill and drummer Dave Brogan are talented musicians and play superbly. Bouncy guitar riffs are buoyed by sparkling keys, snappy drums and nimble bass lines, creating songs that can cause even the most jaded East Coast critics to tap their toes. Assuming they can ignore the lyrics. Ultimately, Roses & Clover is a great-sounding album, as it should be. It was mixed and mastered by knob-fiddler and fader-tweaker extraordinaire Robert Carranza, better known for his work with Beck and Los Lobos. Tragically, not even Paul Moore, credited with “additional inspirationâ€? on the ninth track, “Lady Loop,â€? can save this record from the clumsy writing that litters it. And, no, I don’t know who Paul Moore is. Perhaps he’ll be at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Wednesday, May 9, with ALO. I hope so. After listening to this album, I could use a little inspiration. DAN BOLLES

(Saddle Creek, CD)

On Cursive’s latest full-length, the band calls humanity on its bullshit through the standard, “wake-the-fuck-up� music of American rebellion: rock ’n’ roll. The disc features legions of crunchy, aggressive guitars and crashing waves of cymbals, punctuated by horn stabs that are at one moment artfully dissonant, and the next, simply trying to out-loud the axes. This is a 14-track concept album set in a small town called Happy Hollow. But considering the numbness of its central characters, it might as well be named Happily Hollow. “Dorothy at Forty� finds songwriter Tim Kasher screaming, “Wake up! It’s time for work.� On “Babies,� he deconstructs dreamy optimism, singing, “Maybe you’ve been given to this world to make a difference / Such delusions we all struggle with.� Kasher says ’sup to the Big Guy Upstairs on “Retreat!�: “Since you’ve been on holiday, we’ve hosted some wars over you.� And he’s just getting started. Much of Kasher’s rage is directed at the usual suspects: Christianity as hypocritical sham; war as, well, war. But since this is a rock ’n’ roll record, there’s also a populist streak. A connection occurs between performer and listener when Kasher whispers, “I know this is wrong, because we’re told this is wrong.� It’s even more affecting if you’ve recently caught the president on TV offering his own hollow rhetoric. Nevertheless, Cursive’s latest sounds less like an MFA thesis and more like someone working a double shift with a hangover. Kasher certainly seems familiar with the angsty ground upon which he treads. At one point, he expresses sheer existential frustration, hollering, “It’s time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time!� Later, he confesses, “I’ve wasted half my life on the thought that I’d live forever.� Throughout the record, the band points out the absurdity of humanity’s struggle by examining such wide-ranging topics as politics, religion and even the dreams of small-town girls. Sure, it’s only rock ’n’ roll, but at least it’s about something. Hear Cursive on Wednesday, May 16, at the Higher Ground Ballroom with These Arms Are Snakes and Ghosts of Pasha. MATTHEW BUSHLOW

Powder Kegs recently achieved national notoriety

by winning an award on the public radio program “A Prairie Home Companion.” The band, whose sound mixes Appalachian bluegrass, porch blues and country-folk, beat out five finalists to take home honors in the broadcast’s “People in Their Twenties Talent Show.” According to APHC marketing director David O’Neill, nearly 4.3 million listeners heard the episode — not bad for a string band from the sticks. The Powder Kegs return to Vermont for a gig this Saturday at Winooski’s Monkey House. The audience will definitely be smaller, but they’ll no doubt be just as enthusiastic.

string fling Richmond’s West Monitor Barn, a newly renovated cowhouse visible from I-89, hosts arts and music events as well as the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps’ headquarters. Six world-class bluegrass pickers raise its roof this weekend, as part of a four-hour meeting of musical minds. On the roster: multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall with Brazilian mandolin wizard Hamilton de Hollanda, (pictured) guitarists Bryan Sutton and Russ Barenberg, and fiddler-composer Darol Anger with guitarist Scott Nygaard. Local musicians, notably Jamie Masefield of the Jazz Mandolin Project, step in to rep Green Mountain ’grass. Because the barn seats just 250, each collaborative set promises the feeling of a fretwork tête-à-tête. Fast-paced tunes making you thirsty? Tickets include bottled water, but attendees can also buy beer, wine and Vermont-made mead. Acoustic Music Summit

scene@ TROPICAL FISH CLUB AUCTION BURLINGTON VFW, SUNDAY, MAY 6, NOON.

pHoTo: maTTHew THorsen

A sparse crowd faced auctioneer James White as he opened the bidding for the Tropical Fish Club of Burlington’s annual fundraiser at the VFW, just past the blue vinyl barstools illuminated by stained-glass Michelob Light chandeliers. “Can we maybe turn a radio on? It’s really quiet in here,” he joked, hefting the first of many plastic sacs full of living critters suspended in H2O. To one side, Ruti Island Reds — African cichlids whose ancestors swam in Lake Victoria — floated in bulging bags next to similar water balloons of Bolivian Rams, killifish, a platinum koi, and various aquatic plants. A dozen more folks filed in during the first half-hour, perhaps having seen the handmade event signs posted on Church Street. White warmed up as his audience got larger, pouring out a continual stream of numbers that usually ended in a pretty good deal for the winning bidder. Fish lots averaged $5 to $15 per bag, depending on their size, number and rarity. An ultraviolet pond sterilizer that usually retails for $100 cost $18, and at $28, a slightly-chipped-but-stillwatertight 75-gallon aquarium was also a steal. Tins of snails and worms comprised a two-fer on reptile nourishment. A buddy of the aquarium’s winning bidder murmured, “Those make good bait,” as the cans sold for a dollar. Some offerings seemed extraneous: Decidedly non-aquatic garden perennials included a bleeding heart bush and a yellow primrose. Some were downright funny: a brownish jar full of “vinegar eel starter,” a mini floating dock for aquatic animals and turtles, and a 3-inch tank ornament in the form of a topless blonde riding a sea turtle. The oddest item? A pin touting membership in the “I Ate a Bug Club,” complete with a chocolate-covered cricket. Despite the distractions, these hobbyists clearly knew their stuff. The Bolivian Rams, it turned out, were “F1” — raised from wild parents. White had no sooner asked for the species name when a man sitting behind me rattled off, “Microgeophagus altispinosa!” They went for $5. I’ve always liked the idea of keeping fish, but having watched my brother scoop out bellyup betas and neon tetras after a mysterious fungus took over his tank, I was afraid that I’d kill them off. Even though a bright orange lump of cultivated coral caught my eye, my bidding card stayed down for the duration. That empty aquarium I inherited? A terrarium-in-waiting. MEGHAN DEWALD

MORAL FIBERS Warmer weather inspires spring cleaning, and higher temps also urge a wardrobe change from winter duds. Those two activities go hand in glove at the Clothes Exchange, a Burlington-based nonprofit event that connects consumers with gently used threads to raise funds for area charities assisting women and families. The donation period was last week, but style-conscious ladies can find fresh looks at an evening garment sale that emphasizes quality, whether it’s current or vintage. “We ask for pieces you’d let your best friend borrow,” says Leslie Halperin, who founded the Exchange in 2001. This year, fashion cents go to an infant-toddler mental health program run by the Visiting Nurse Association. Expect up-to-date offerings, and be sure to get there on time. The CloThes exChange

FRIDAY 11

Come Sing Jimmy Jo Story by Katherine Paterson • Play by David Paterson Music by Mark J. Thomas

PIANO FORTE Saying that solo piano is Angela Cheng’s strong suit is like saying Luciano Pavarotti digs ditties. The prize–winning performer was asked to fill young Russian-born pianist Maria Mazo’s season-end spot in the UVM Lane Series’ concert lineup after Mazo ran into visa trouble a few months ago. You’d be hard put to find a more suitable sub: Cheng has soloed with almost every orchestra in Canada and several in the U.S., and she has a reputation for brilliant technique, tonal beauty and superb musicianship. Her program includes Alexina Louie’s “Memories in an Ancient Garden� and Chopin’s “Polonaise-Fantasie in A flat major,� as well as sonatas by Beethoven and Haydn. Long-term ticket holders, take note: Original Mazo vouchers will be honored at the door.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR PREECLAMPSIA STUDY AT UVM Conducted by Ira Bernstein MD

WOMEN INTERESTED IN BECOMING PREGNANT WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN PREGNANT

Preeclampsia and other disorders of pregnancy involving high blood pressure are a leading global cause of maternal and infant illness and death. The cause of preeclampsia is still not fully understood, though the disease was recognized and described nearly 2000 years ago. This study is an effort to identify specific risk factors for preeclampsia which may exist prior to pregnancy and to better understand who is at risk for developing this disease during pregnancy.

WWe are recruiting women who are:

• Interested in becoming pregnant who have never been pregnant • Healthy and 18-40 years of age • Have regular menstrual cycles • Are not using hormonal contraception • And do not smoke

If you are planning your first pregnancy in the next 12 months and would like to participate, call 656-2669 or email Adrienne.schonberg@uvm.edu Compensation is provided between $400.00 and $800.00.

PETAL POWER Tulips, daffodils and lilacs signal spring, but they usually grow in gardens, with a helping hand from humans. To find truly wild blossoms within Queen City limits, you have to know where to look. Enter naturalists Alicia Daniel and Charley Eiseman. On a two-hour guided hike through Arms Park (behind the North Avenue Alliance Church) they show budding wildflower seekers how to read the landscape for clues about where certain species might grow throughout the year. Keep an eye out for columbine, jewelweed and trilliums, and learn how bedrock locations, insects and wind patterns affect native blooms. Can’t register before May 10? Grab a field guide and hit the trails solo.

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I’m gay and in a long-term relationship with a man I love. The sex is great, but I wish I could stay harder longer — as soon as I insert my banana into his split, it’s all over. I come instantly, leaving him wanting more. He turns me on so much that I can’t control myself. I’ve seen a lot of information online about how to stay hard using desensitizing creams, but can you tell me what actually works? Sincerely, Floppy Joe

Dear F.J., While desensitizing creams are harmless and can do the trick, why would you want to decrease sensation during sex? These products contain lidocaine, the major ingredient in anti-itch creams and dental anesthetic. Sexy? I think not. Instead of numbing your penis, practice controlling ejaculation on your own. Start by masturbating with a dry hand. Bring yourself close to orgasm, then back off. Keep yourself aroused, but do not allow yourself to ejaculate. Repeat this exercise for as long as you can stand it and be sure to take note of your body’s cues — the more you know about how your body works, the better you will become at controlling the “Big O.” Once you’re better able to control orgasm with a dry-hand stroke, try the exercise with your favorite lube. The next step is to repeat this regimen with your partner, adding oral stimulation to your erection workout. Be sure to pay attention to your breathing and relaxation — men report a notable difference in ejaculation control when they add deep, deliberate breathing to lovemaking. The old adage is true — practice does make perfect. If you set aside a little time for my recommended workout, you’ll be pumping more than iron in no time.

Everlasating love,

MM
