ACTHib does not contain Thimerosal. Though the author correctly noted that Thimerosal is mentioned in the package insert, this reference has to do with a different vaccine that is no longer used, and not with the ACTHib vaccine itself.

about the public (gasp) debate and conversations that might have resulted from this piece of art? Or were they worried that they would lose money over being connected to an art piece that represents a slice of the reality of the world?

By the way, Pine Street art hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just faced censorship. On a recent lunch break at CafĂŠ Piccolo, I read Janet Van Fleetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, which documents the vandalism that her outdoor piece suffered just this past weekend.

Unchecked censorship and art vandalism are symptoms of a larger, cultural illness that our local, state and national community is suffering from. No matter your opinions, realize that censorship harms us all and art is part of free speech.

I encourage the Seven Days readers to actually do something about the ailing culture in our community. Wake up! Speak up!

Write letters, or actually talk to the gatekeepers/people in power and demand accountability.

Challenge current conceptions and existing institutions. Our growing collective silence will only contribute to these increasingly trying times.

REFRESHING PERSPECTIVE

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;1 in 5â&#x20AC;? issue [September 14] was terrific. What a service Seven Days performed by giving its readers such good information

on living with disabilities. I readily admit I totally enjoyed the piece by Ruth Horowitz, â&#x20AC;&#x153;LoveAble,â&#x20AC;? especially the refreshing quotes attributed to Jill Allen.

Your readers will also be interested in knowing that Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Opportunities Credit Union has recently received additional monies for its Independence Fund, a low-interest loan program for people with disabilities.

Affordable loans are available for assistive technology, such as making living space more adaptable and purchasing vans, wheelchairs, scooters and other helpful items to make life easier, fuller and more efficient.

TROUBLING QUESTIONS

Special thanks to Ken Picard and Seven Days for their article on David Ray Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest to expose the lies behind the attacks of 9/11. [â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Disaster: 9/11 Reconsidered,â&#x20AC;?

September 7].

The idea of complicity and cover-up in the 9/11 attacks is astonishing and incredible, yet inexplicable facts persist. The 9/11 Commission Report omitted references to important

details of that day. For example, when the towers came down, seismic activity recorded the most powerful tremors not at the moment when the towers crashed to the ground but in the seconds preceding their fall. These seismic spikes indicate massive explosions that rocked the buildings. World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story steel tower, enigmatically collapsed in a controlled demolition at about 5 that afternoon. Steel that had been once molten was found at the base supports of all three collapsed buildings. This indicates a source of tremendous heat, like high-powered explosives, was present to melt structural steel.

Citizens must ask why such problematical facts as these were not addressed. Why was an investigation into the largest crime perpetrated against the American people initially resisted by the White House and, later, under intense pressure, orchestrated by a Bush-picked team?

There will be a great opportunity to learn more when David Ray Griffin, a central figure in the 9/11 Truth Movement, visits Vermont. He will be speaking about â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Truth Behind 9/11 and American Empireâ&#x20AC;? October 12, 7 p.m., at UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billings MORE LETTERS >> 18A

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Dubie Wiggles on the War in Iraq

R

epublican U.S. Senate hopeful Brian Dubie is learning it’s not easy to be a Republican candidate and stray from the party line on the president’s war in Iraq.

Take his recent comment to the Times Argus/Rutland Herald about the Bush administration’s quagmire: “‘If, in fact, there were no (weapons of mass destruction), it was a bad decision,’ Dubie said when asked whether the war was a mistake.”

And everyone knows there were no WMDs. Heartening to hear a Republican even hint at the truth, eh?

It was so unusual, in fact, that a few days later the paper took note in an editorial: “Dubie went so far as to admit that the war in Iraq was a mistake. That may be an early attempt to separate himself from Bush. Vermont voters will be wondering how separate he can truly be.”

Apparently the double-barreled coverage made Doobie-Doo a wee bit uncomfortable. A few days later, a Dubie-authored op-ed appeared. In it, Brian referred to the recent coverage regarding the Iraq war and attempted to “clearly state” his thoughts.

Obviously, Dubie was looking for wiggle room, implementing a little damage control, hoping to calm the Republican faithful, both in Vermont and in Washington, who did not appreciate his published remarks about the war being “a bad decision.”

The Doobster dealt with his little GOP loyalty problem by writing: “Concerning the decision to go to war in Iraq, I did believe Secretary of State Colin Powell when he made the case before the United Nations that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. The intelligence supporting that view has thus far proven to be flawed. If flawed intelligence leads to a decision to invade Iraq, then that decision is necessarily flawed.”

Nice out, eh? Even Powell knows it was rubbish, has admitted so, and will regret until his dying day that he gave it credence before the UN. In the spirit of finding continued value in completing a mission that was based on lies, or what Dubie calls “flawed intelligence,” he reminds readers what an evil dictator Saddam Hussein was.

“It is also a fact,” wrote Dubie, “that we have discovered the mass graves of 300,000 Iraqis killed by Saddam Hussein.”

A fact? Really?

We inquired, and Mr. Dubie informed us he had “four sources.”

One was a speech given by British Prime Minister Tony Blair in March 2004. In fact, Blair claimed 400,000 bodies in Saddam’s mass graves!

Another was a speech by Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice. A third was a Human Rights Watch 2003 report, and the fourth was a Human Rights Watch article.

However, more than a year ago all those claims were debunked in a published report by Peter Beaumont, foreign-affairs editor for the London Observer newspaper.

“Downing Street has admitted to the Observer,” wrote Beaumont on July 18, 2004, “that repeated claims by Tony Blair that ‘400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi

mass graves’ are untrue, and only about 5000 corpses have so far been uncovered.

“The claims by Blair in November and December of last year were given widespread credence, quoted by MPs and widely published, including in the introduction to a U.S. government pamphlet on Iraq’s mass graves.”

As for citing Condi Rice as a credible source, well, sorry, Brian, it’s tough to keep a straight face.

And Human Rights Watch researcher Hania Mufti admitted to the Observer, “Our estimates were based on estimates. The eventual figure was based in part on circumstantial information gathered over the years.”

Sounds like Dubie’s using a little outof-date, flawed intelligence for his damage control, eh?

Brian might be better served if he just stuck with the truth: George W. Bush’s Iraq War was a mistake, a huge mistake.

Everybody knows it.

Instead of pleasing the GOP campaign consultants in Washington, Dubie might think about pleasing Vermont voters, especially the mainstream, middle-of-the-road ones who’ve been voting for years for the popular, antiwar, left-wing congressman Dubie hopes to face off against in November — after beating Megabucks Richie Tarrant in the September GOP primary.

Rep. Bernie Sanders voted against the war. The vast majority of Vermonters now agree with him. Taking that issue off the table might be the smartest thing either GOP Senate hopeful could do. Don’t ignore history. Pull a George Aiken.

It was Vermont U.S. Sen. George Aiken, a Republican, who in 1968 urged Democratic President Lyndon Johnson of Texas to “declare victory and get out” of Vietnam. He was, unfortunately, ignored.

Eventually, we did get out. The lies were finally exposed. But the blood of young Americans and Vietnamese continued to flow in rivers for seven more years. Unlike the prowar flag wavers of the day, Republican George Aiken truly supported our troops.

There’s a message there.

St. Pat Disses Mad Dog — In his statement on President Bush’s nomination of longtime, loyal, crony Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, Sen. Patrick Leahy, ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, noted, “Many will be surprised that the President did not pick a Hispanic woman from the many qualified Hispanics across the country recommended to the President.”

GOP Chairman Jim Barnett pounced on that one, calling it “fill-in-the-blank criticism.” Had Bush picked a Hispanic woman, Mad Dog assured us, St. Patrick “would have complained it wasn’t a black woman!”

We tried to get Leahy’s response at his Monday presser, but it wasn’t easy.

“I really don’t care what he said,” snapped Patrick, interrupting the question.

Barnett, continued Leahy, “is Gov. Douglas’ political spokesperson. I noticed in one of [Barnett’s] comments today that he read from the White House talking points. I think I’d remind him that Jim INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

In the Information Age, Racing to Deliver News of a Death

BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — There’s one job that Col. Jonathan Farnham of the Vermont Army National Guard doesn’t want to get good at: notifying the families of fallen soldiers that they’ve lost a loved one. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks, his office has had a lot of experience performing that difficult task.

On Saturday, funeral services were held for Specialist Scott McLaughlin, 29, of Hardwick, who was shot and killed on September 22 near Ramadi, Iraq.

A day earlier, 1st Lt. Mark Dooley of Rutland was laid to rest.

Dooley, 27, was killed September 19 by a roadside bomb in Ramadi.

On August 23, Sgt. 1st Class Chris S. Chapin, 39, of Proctor, was shot and killed by a sniper near Ramadi. In all, since the war in Iraq began in March 2003, seven members of the Vermont Army National Guard have died, as well as 13 other soldiers with Vermont connections. That’s the highest per-capita casualty rate of any state in the nation.

Delivering death notices has been critical in every armed conflict. The Iraq War adds a relatively new logistical challenge: the importance of notifying family members before they learn of their loss through unofficial channels.

In an age of embedded reporters, international cellphones, wireless laptops in the field and soldiers who write their own blogs, the time pressures surrounding this somber task have never been greater.

“It’s a job that we take very seriously,” says Farnham, deputy chief of staff for personnel with the Vermont Army National Guard. “We don’t want to do it, but if we do have to do it, it’s done to the best of our ability out of respect for our soldiers and the pain their family has to endure. It’s painful enough without someone finding out the incorrect story.”

None of the Vermont families whose loved ones have died in Vermont have heard the news first through an unofficial source. But Farnham recognizes the potential that a friend or family member could learn of a soldier’s death before the military has had time to verify the soldier’s identity, confirm the details of how he or she was killed, and determine who needs to be notified. As Farnham emphasizes, the Army doesn’t just want the job done quickly — it wants it done right.

The process actually begins before the soldiers leave the country, according to Farnham.

All of them go through a painstaking procedure to ensure

that their legal affairs are in order, including writing a will, designating which family members are to be contacted and who will receive their final pay, death benefits and so forth. The soldiers even leave behind a detailed street map to their families’ homes.

“There’s a positive side to that, too,” Farnham notes. “Say the guy’s wife runs out of fuel oil in January or needs firewood or family assistance — we can send someone out there. It’s not just for this scenario.”

When the Department of the Army gets word that a Vermont guardsman has been killed — and the process is essentially the same for all branches of the military — it sends a warning order to the Vermont adjutant general’s office. From that moment on the clock is ticking, says Farnham. The adjutant general’s office immediately begins executing a series of checklists in order to verify, among other

The team consists of an officer, a chaplain, a senior noncommissioned officer and occasionally medical personnel in the event there’s an incident. The military prefers to send someone who knew the soldier or was familiar with where he or she lived. The Army also provides the notification team with explicit instructions about what to do at the home, including a script of what to say. Very little is left to the officers’ discretion.

“It’s kind of like a pilot’s checklist. You go through it step by step, even if you’ve done it previously,” says Farnham, who has performed this duty himself.

“Because, once your emotion kicks in, the severity and sadness of the thing, you really need to be following a formalized procedure.”

Once the family is notified, the team stays at their home until other family members arrive. Within a few hours, a casualty-assistance officer shows up to help with funeral arrangements and other legal matters. That officer may assist the family for several hours, or even several ILLUSTRATION: JO SCOTT

things, that the names and locations of family members hasn’t changed since their deployment — if soldiers get married or divorced, say, or their spouses or parents move.

Next-of-kin relationships “can be pretty complex in today’s environment,” Farnham points out. “The traditional family that you think of is not always the case.”

Once all the information is verified, a family-notification team is assembled and dispatched to the family’s home.

(The military prefers not to do notifications in the workplace.)

months. The notification team then returns to its base for a debriefing with a staff psychologist.

Barring unforeseen complications, such as difficulty in making an identification, the time between a soldier’s death and family notification is about eight hours — and four hours from the time the Vermont National Guard receives the news. “The information comes a long way, 7000 miles, in a short period of time,” Farnham notes.

Compared to earlier wars, that’s very quick. But in the digital age, it’s an eternity. m

Home Sweet SolarPowered Home

BY MARK AIKEN

VERMONT — Brian Thompson had visitors at his Charlotte home last Saturday — 45, to be exact. His house, which uses a wind turbine and solar panels to generate the energy that runs his appliances, lights and hot water, was one of five stops on the Greater Burlington Renewable Energy Guided Tour. “On a day like today,” Thompson said, indicating the brilliant sunshine and steady breeze, “my electric meter spins backwards.”

Saturday’s tour was one of more than 100 similar events across the country. The American Solar Energy Society has been sponsoring these tours since 1995. This year, with fuel rates soaring and the wind-energy debate at full tilt, it seemed particularly timely. About 60 people participated in Burlington’s event.

For tour guide Toben Galvin of the Renewable Energy Resource Center — a project of the Burlington-based Vermont Energy Investment Corporation — the event was an opportunity to advertise RERC’s Vermont Solar and Small Wind Incentive Program. It provides residents and businesses that install solar electric, small wind or solar hot water systems with grants of up to $10,000, or 25 to 30 percent of the installation cost. In its first year, the program awarded a total of $961,000.

The tour also let participants see different systems in person and speak with the people who actually use them. “It’s

an unbelievably good feeling,” Harry Atkinson said, looking at the solar panels and wind turbines atop his building on Battery Street. “It makes you feel like you’re doing something good for the environment — and you are.”

One big question on people’s minds was how long it takes for the initial investment to pay itself back. The owners didn’t try to hide the fact that solar and wind systems — even with the incentive programs in place — are not cheap. “Through savings on electric and oil heating bills, our solar hot water system will pay itself back in about 12 years,” said Peter Jones, a South Burlington homeowner with a solar electric system. His place was the second stop on the tour.

“The photovoltaic system will be 20 years,” he added.

But Jones said that the initial costs shouldn’t dissuade people. He offered advice for how to make a home more energy-efficient even before considering a renewable energy system. Some of his tips were more obvious than others. “Turn off the light when you leave a room,” he suggested. “We replaced our incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents. We heat with wood. We replaced our old, energy-sucking refrigerator with an energyefficient one. It’s a lifestyle change. It might be a drag to hang-dry your laundry, but I say, ‘Hey, I get to listen to the birds sing in my yard while I do it.’” m

between the ages of 19 and 25 are the most likely victims — regardless of their educational background or socioeconomic status. In fact, 1 in 4 women will be abused by a partner at some point in her life.

A new student group at the University of Vermont is taking a stand against male-perpetrated violence — and it’s asking other men to do the same. On Monday, October 3, Men Advocating Change launched its “White Ribbon Campaign” to raise public awareness about sexual and domestic violence.

About 70 people showed up in front of UVM’s Waterman Building for the campaign kickoff, which is asking men to pledge to be nonviolent, confront violent behavior, and challenge sexist and oppressive comments and stereotypes. Men also are being asked to wear white ribbons throughout the month of October to show their support for the cause and raise public awareness.

“I don’t believe that men are served well by a system that objectifies women [or] that forces men to uphold a certain standard of masculinity that is aggressive and violent,” says Jim Leahy, the men’s education coordinator at the Women’s Rape Crisis Center in Burlington. “I think men really do suffer from that as much as women.”

Men Advocating Change is a relatively new campus group that was recognized in February

by UVM’s Student Government Association. Its goal, Leahy explains, is to create a safe place for men to discuss various issues of importance to them, particularly sexism and domestic violence. Ultimately, the group hopes to get more men involved in the cause — through mentoring programs for boys and young men and by recruiting more male volunteers to work at rape-crisis centers and battered-women’s shelters.

Curses, Foiled Again When the two men who had taken a used Lexus for a test drive in Hamilton Township, N.J., didn’t return soon enough, the worried dealer called police. Meanwhile, the men used the vehicle as their getaway car after robbing a bank in Hamilton Square. They brought back the car just as police arrived and noticed that the car and the men fit descriptions given by bank officials. Police arrested the pair.

his car had broken down and so let him in to call the breakdown services,” one victim told police. “But after 15 minutes, he still hadn’t come off the phone, and when I went to look he was red in the face and was obviously excited about something.”

German man pretended that his car had broken down so that he could dupe local residents into letting him use their phones to call sex hotlines, according to police in Bad Urach. They said that at least four women complained after the man, said to be in his early 40s, used their phones. The women thought that he was calling for roadside assistance, but he was actually calling premium-rate kinky sex lines for up to2:47 20 minutes at a 1 2x3-remax-debbi060105 5/30/05 PM Page time. “It was raining, and I felt bad that

call the police if they see people having sex in recreational areas that are intended for nudists. “Well-meaning naked vacationers often suffer because of the behavior of others,” an NFN representative said, citing a recent increase in incidents of open-air sex. “The police often mistake ordinary naturist walkers for a public-sex gathering. They send the naturists on their way or even issue a fine.”

• The romps have become such a problem that park rangers have turned to planting stinging nettles and thistles to discourage couples from having sex in the open. “They are very difficult to catch,” said Jose Evers, head ranger of the Het Twiske park, near Amsterdam, “because they warn each other with mobile phones when they hear us approaching.”

Stop It or You’ll Go Blind New research indicates that immediately after people are shown erotic or gory images, they frequently fail to process what they see next. “We observed that people fail to detect visual images that appeared one-fifth of a second after emotional images, whereas they can detect those images with little problem after neutral images,” said David Zald, assistant professor of psychology and member of the Vanderbilt University Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development, said. “If you are simply driving down the road and you see something that is sexually explicit on a billboard, the odds are that it is going to capture your attention, and for a fraction of a second afterwards, you are going to be less able to pay attention to the other information in your environment.”

Heavy Petting A motel exclusively for horny pets has opened in Brazil. The Pet Love motel, in Sao Paulo, offers decorated rooms, complete with satin sheets and ceiling mirrors, for pets to mate. Las Ultimas Noticias newspaper reported that the motel is aimed at pet owners who are concerned for their animal’s needs. “Pets have needs,” a Pet Love spokesperson said, “and they also want some excitement.”

Winners Despite this summer’s bombings around London, James Belshaw and Sophia Severin managed to continue kissing until their lips had been touching uninterrupted for 31 hours and 30 minutes. Claiming the world record for the longest kiss, the couple kept their lips together even after the four bombs exploded, including one blast on a bus less than a mile away.

Auto Erotica Dutch police arrested a couple for having sex on the hood of their patrol car. The couple, from Groningen, explained that they hadn’t noticed the two policemen sitting in the car. One of the officers got out and told the couple to stop what they were doing and leave, but the 25-year-old man refused and insulted the policeman. His 33-year-old lover tried to stop the car from taking her boyfriend away. “The law doesn’t say you can’t make love on a police car,” a police official acknowledged. “But the policemen have to be available for duty. If the two lovers had left when they were told, nothing would have happened.” m

The young man standing by my taxi window wore pale green dungarees with a series of handy pockets down the sides that ended at a pair of substantial hiking boots, well-nicked and scuffed. On this sunny, Indian summer afternoon, only a burnt-orange T-shirt covered his upper body. He carried a nylon and aluminum backpack.

Noticing his close-cropped blond hair and lean, muscular body, I thought, This guy is buff. Naturally, though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not of the gym-induced variety. People who bulk up via weightlifting and the like look like human topiary to me; not exactly attractive. Then again, that might be the jealousy talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, yup,â&#x20AC;? I replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can get you to Huntington, no problem. Ya got directions to the Inn once we get there?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I got directions here somewhere. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it, then.â&#x20AC;?

With a well-practiced shimmying motion, he eased the pack from his shoulders and tossed it effortlessly onto

I blew .09, which is just over the limit, but the cop wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut me a break.

So here I am. My goal is to make the best of it, really learn something. the back seat. He then jumped into the front, and we were off. With his strapping physique and clear-eyed demeanor, he was just the guy youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want riding shotgun if the outlaws attack your stagecoach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing about Huntington,â&#x20AC;? I began to banter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is you only get to Huntington when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to Huntington. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really on the way to anywhere else. Ergo, it retains a lot of that untouched-Vermont quality.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ergo,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; huh?â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyway, man, I love this state. I spent four awesome years at Green Mountain College in Poultney. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working in Florida since then, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all flat, flat, flat. It drives me nuts, actually.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, Florida doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much for me, either. Jeezum, those bugs down there. They got the girth of frickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hamsters.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get me going on the bugs. I lead Outward Bound programs for troubled teens, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;glades a lot of the time.â&#x20AC;?

We exited the highway at Richmond and scooted through the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compact business district, passing the exquisite Round Church. The weather was sublime: wide-open skies, mild and breezy.

Perfect days like these are coveted in Vermont precisely for their relative rarity.

Of course, the long winters we endlessly grouse about are what keep Vermont, Vermont. I made a mental note to remember that fact come February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with staying at a B&B?â&#x20AC;?

I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look more like the roughing-it type.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little embarrassed to say, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a DUI three-day class. I got busted last time I was up here visiting friends. I had about four beers and got pulled over. I blew .09, which is just over the limit, but the cop wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut me a break. So here I am. My goal is to make the best of it, really learn something.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great attitude,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, the tables are turned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from leading the group to being a forced participant.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought of that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, let me ask you something. A buddy of mine once went out West to undertake what they call a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Vision Quest.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that comes out of Native American culture, part of the spiritual practice. Anyway, he spent, like, three days alone up some mountain without food or drink. He told me it was a powerful and meaningful experience.

Do you do anything like that in the Outward Bound program?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do. Not for all the kids, but the ones we think are ready and can benefit from it. This is the way I look at it: All these kids are assigned to the program because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been acting antisocial â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hurting others, hurting themselves. To me, this means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost touch with their true selves. Everything we do with them has the ultimate purpose of getting them back in touch with who they really are.â&#x20AC;?

Following his written directions, we turned off the pavement onto a dirt road at the Huntington town limits, and soon we were ascending a mountain. The road was winding and peaceful, the atmosphere rich with the fragrance and sounds of early fall. Birds fluttered and butterflies floated among the roadside ferns and above the passing meadows: Vermont at its most magical.

A couple miles up, we came upon the Inn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a large farmhouse with some attached buildings. The property looked well cared for, but not slick or cutesy like some of the B&Bs closer to town.

Judging from the signage, this place seems to attract a lot of bikers and crosscountry skiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Inn looks nice,â&#x20AC;? I said as we eased to a stop in the parking lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too bad youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not here under better circumstances.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you kidding?â&#x20AC;? A knowing smile came across his face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here on a Vision Quest, man. What could be better than that?â&#x20AC;? m â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hackieâ&#x20AC;? is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

Recording Artist

W NAME JOB LOCATION

IMAGE Jordan Silverman

hen JoAnn Carson says she works as a court reporter, many people assume she’s a journalist who covers the judicial system. Actually, Carson is a court stenographer, whose job is to produce a verbatim transcript of trials, depositions, public hearings and other official proceedings. “What I hear is what I write,” she says. “There’s no cleaning up the spoken word.”

Carson, who lives in Burlington, has been a freelance court reporter for 26 years.

JoAnn Carson A graduate of a two-year court-reporter Court Reporter program at Champlain College, she’s Burlington worked in a variety of settings: law offices, bankruptcy court, even court-martial proceedings at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. Carson’s primary work tool is a stenograph. The machine, which captures words and phrases by pushing different combination of keys, is wired to a laptop computer.

Court reporting can be a lucrative profession, especially since trained professionals are in short supply. Even voice-recognition software and other high-tech recording devices are no substitute for a live person in the room who can request that a word be repeated, check the correct spelling of a name, or capture other goings-on that a machine can miss. Sometimes, Carson even reads the lips of witnesses to ensure she’s getting an accurate record. In fact, a number of other states that switched to using electronic recording devices in courtrooms have since returned to court reporters because they’re far more accurate.

One downside to her profession? Turning it off. Sometimes, Carson admits, while she’s sitting in church, her fingers automatically type what she’s hearing.

SEVEN DAYS: How has your profession changed since you began?

JOANN CARSON: By leaps and bounds. When I started, our machines were manual and we would do transcripts on typewriters with carbon copies. [Now] we’re in real time. So, as you’re speaking, I’m writing and you can read what you just said on my screen. It comes out about 99 percent accurate. Afterwards, I go back and put in the punctuation I missed and words that don’t transcribe. And names are always a problem.

SD: How do you record things people say that aren’t words? Do you spell them phonetically?

JC: Yeah. Like the Vermont “Ayup!”

That was a new one to me. We spell them the way we hear them. I was taught that we don’t have to put in the “ums” and “uhs” . . . We write by sound. Typing is one letter at a time.

Hopefully, we are writing a word or phrase at a time. To get out of school, you need [to write] 225 words a minute. That’s never fast enough. I

have my merit degree. That’s 260 words a minute. Even that’s not always fast enough. Sometimes you just have to interrupt and say, “Hello?

Remember me?”

SD: What’s an acceptable degree of accuracy in your profession?

JC: I think you need 98 percent accuracy or better. When we have depositions, we send the transcript to the deponent and give him an errata sheet and say, “Read this and correct it where I got it wrong.”

SD: Are there keystroke shortcuts on your computer?

JC: Yeah. I have dictionary of approximately 42,000 words and punctuation.

And I’m always improving it. For instance, I didn’t like the way I was writing “unfortunately.” So I made up a new stroke. I do that for words I use all the time. Like, I do a lot of public utility work, so I have “Vermont Yankee,” “Verizon” and other words that come up all the time.

SD: You remember all 42,000 shortcuts?

JC: Yeah, it’s second nature. I write at 260 words a minute, so it’s got to be instantaneous. If you’ve ever seen closed captioning on TV, that’s a court reporter. They’re called captioners.

SD: What was the hardest case you’ve worked?

JC: The most challenging case I’ve done to date was about four or five years ago when Hydro-Québec and the Vermont joint owners were fighting over the Hydro-Québec contract, the ramifications of the ice storm and who was going to pay for what. My business partner and I were hired to do the official transcript in English, which is important because Hydro-Québec is in Montréal [and they] speak French.

It was an international arbitration with three arbitrators. It was all confidential and extended over six or seven weeks, and went in phases over a twoyear period. We hooked in seven attorneys to our laptops so they could read the real-time transcript as it was being done. It was also daily copy, where we produce a transcript at the end of the day. One of us would do the morning session, one of us would do the afternoon session. We moved into the Radisson Hotel and made it our office for the month of July. It was very technical but also very fascinating.

SD: What’s the toughest part of your job?

JC: It depends upon the setting you’re in. I do public hearings for the Public Service Board, and those are tough because the public is not used to speaking before a crowd. For instance, I was in Brattleboro last Tuesday night for Vermont Yankee — dry cask storage — and that’s always a very lively public hearing. It’s a great turnout but everyone wants to speak. And there had to have been 50 people speaking, if not more. And that’s tough because they don’t enunciate, they mumble, you’re in a cavernous auditorium. Accents can be difficult because people put the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable.

SD: What’s the best part of the job?

JC: As a freelancer, the flexibility. And the variety. Every day is a new education. This week, for instance. Monday I worked at home doing depositions that I took last week in a civil case. Tuesday I was in bankruptcy court. Today I’m working at home doing more transcripts. Tomorrow I’m doing depositions in a criminal matter, and Friday I’m in Montpelier for a Public Service Board hearing all day. So the variety is wonderful, and it doesn’t get boring because you’re always learning new little factoids about different subjects.

SD: What skills are essential for being a good court reporter?

JC: Spelling. Spelling is key, because SpellCheck doesn’t catch everything.

You have to be a good keyboard person and you’ve got to have a lot of discipline . . . You’re not going to get through court-reporting school if you don’t have discipline, because it’s just too hard.

SD: Do people ever say things that are distracting or funny?

JC: Yeah. At this hearing in Brattleboro, one of the speakers was very enthusiastic as he was speaking, and he dropped the F-bomb. Everyone was taken aback by it. He immediately apologized for it.

And, I had one expert witness get on the witness stand, and I guess he was new to his testifying days. The attorney asked, “What is your name?” and he keeled over and passed out. They took him out on a stretcher. That was very embarrassing for him.

SD: How did you note that?

JC: I don’t remember what I did.

Probably “Interruption.” I’ve had people who were nervous about testifying and have thrown up before they’ve testified. And, there are always a lot of tears. Some of this stuff is difficult to listen to.

SD: Do you note it if someone cries or throws up?

JC: No. But I do note laughter and applause. m

Monday is Columbus Day, but Seven Days keeps sailing along...

The review of Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cold Play,â&#x20AC;? September 21] by Elisabeth Crean (no relation) was way cool. There is precious little about the Antarctic expeditions and the legacy of the race to the South Pole that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fascinating. A good play aside, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really only one of two ways to develop a comprehension of the explorersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accomplishments and overtly more famous failures. Either become a penguin, or plunge into the books.

Crean, in the review, makes note of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wooden sledge.â&#x20AC;?

She writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike the Norwegians, who used dogs to pull sledges, the British relied primarily on man-hauling.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Tom Crean, an Irishman, comes into the play, no ethnic antagonism intended. Matter of fact, Shackleton was an Irishman, too. His expeditionary ship, Endurance, was named after his family motto: â&#x20AC;&#x153;By Endurance We Conquer.â&#x20AC;? For the two Irishmen, the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1916) definitely lived up to the theme.

The wonder of the Antarctic initiatives never ceases to amaze. Under the trialand-error column, the expeditions also experimented with Northern Manchurian ponies and a Johnstone motor car to pull the sledges. As remarkable as Tom Crean was, and as heartwarming as the photo of the man cradling the four plump puppies were, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Tom Crean in my book.

In Shackleton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; His Antarctic Writings Selected (1983), that photo is described as being one of Ernest Joyce in 1908. Mr. Joyce was in charge of general stores, dogs, sledges and zoological collections for the 1914-1916 expedition. He was a first-class petty officer in the Royal Navy. The photo caption in the book ends as follows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The British never achieved the same success as the Norwegians with dog teams. They were said to be too sentimental about them.â&#x20AC;?

GOING TO BAT

ALL our deadlines remain the same.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the UK but read your article about the bats in the Vermont mine [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winging It,â&#x20AC;?

September 28]. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the article. It was so very interesting and informative, and you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to use any of the silly clichĂŠs about bats! I really hope this article gets a wide

audience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it certainly deserves to!

I work with bats in England and would love to see more of this sort of wellinformed and meticulous reporting.

LAMOILLE APOLOGY

I am the co-director of the Lamoille Family Center in Morrisville, Vermont. We are, and for many years have been, proud members of our excellent Lamoille County United Way organization. Our neighbors, friends and associates who donate their time, energy and talents to the United Way represent the highest level of community service. We believe that our United Way director, Dawn Archbold, has been an exceptional, dedicated leader and a truly effective administrator.

Consequently, I was upset that, when I was quoted in Seven Days concerning the intrusive antiterrorism requirements of the Patriot Act being enforced by United Way of America [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Matters,â&#x20AC;?

Aug. 31], it was written in a way that some readers interpreted as being disparaging of our Lamoille County United Way. Although I requested that both reporters make it explicitly clear that I have nothing but respect and admiration for our local United Way agency, director and volunteers, those remarks were omitted from both articles.

I am writing to apologize for any negative impact that my remarks may have had on our local agency and to encourage enthusiastic and generous support as the United Way of Lamoille County kicks off its 2005 campaign. We at the Lamoille Family Center recognize that the work they perform is absolutely essential to our many programs. Besides providing financial support, United Way volunteers have even painted the classrooms for LFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Learning Together Program for Pregnant and Parenting Teens. Please contribute generously to the current campaign. Dawn Archbold, her board and volunteers are truly exceptional.

My sincerest apologies for any difficulties my remarks may have caused them.

f you’ve ever walked in the woods, hiked a mountain, watched a sunset or nurtured a garden, you’ve enjoyed firsthand the beauty and wonder of nature. And part of that enjoyment is a sense of peacefulness and grounding. To close observers, the earth itself seems to give off a kind of energy — some places more than others. Even the least “new-agey” among us can buy this. Yet many modern minds remain baffled by the evidently nature-centered standing-stone sites, the most famous being Stonehenge: Why — and how — did our forebears, some 3000 years B.C., arrange mega-ton rocks to create what appears to be a giant clock? What was the point of marking the movement of the sun throughout the year? And, aside from astronomical clues, what did Neolithic man get from standing with the stones?

Circles for Peace has a few answers.

The Burlington-based nonprofit, along with the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, will soon offer residents an opportunity to go back in time — or keep track of time — with its very own standing-stone circle. Call it neoNeolithic. On Saturday, October 8, Circles of Peace invites the public to a groundbreaking ceremony for the Burlington Earth Clock, to be sited at Blanchard Beach along the Bike Path near Oakledge Park.

With an unobstructed view across Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks, the site is ideal for marking the changing seasons, suggests member David Brizendine.

“With the five western stones, you’ll be able to catch the eight days,” he says, referring to the winter and summer solstices, spring and fall equinoxes and four cross-quarter days. “You’ll see the sun at the top of each stone.”

The remaining seven will complete the circle, which will be 43.5 feet in diameter. A flat stone in the center will mark where a person should stand to see the sun setting over the stones. These will be about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weigh at least 3 tons each. The Rock of Ages Quarry in Barre and another site in New York State are donating stones

for the project. Landscape architect Andrea Morgante is donating her time for the design. In addition to the stone circle, the site will include benches, two information displays and some small trees and shrubs to “create a visual break from the oil tanks” behind the site, explains Brizendine.

A Burlington graphic designer and longtime student of standing-stone construction, Brizendine is one of eight members of the Circles for Peace Board and Design Team. Another, Dr. Patrick McManaway, will preside over this Saturday’s groundbreaking. From the flat stone positioned at the center of the circle-to-be, he’ll take measurements for the placement of the standing stones “based on astronomical considerations,” he says of a process that also involves something called a “megalithic yard.”

geomancer. His Shelburne practice, Whole Earth Geomancy, examines earth energies and other factors to treat “sick buildings” as well as individuals.

McManaway divides his time between Vermont and his native Scotland, where he helps run a natural healing center founded by his father. He is also the president of the British Society of Dowsers and teaches dowsing, “earth-acupuncture” and the construction of sacred sites.

All of which is to say that McManaway brings serious earth-energy savvy to Circles for Peace. So does fellow member Ivan MacBeth, an Englishman, modern-day Druid and prominent stone-circle builder. He also spends time on both sides of the Atlantic, and will weigh in when the heavy lifting begins next year on the Burlington Earth Clock. Between now and then,

detect that energy? “All kinds of things,” Parker says. “The influence may be topographical; you’re walking down a hill and come to a flat area, and everything about it says, ‘Stop and look around you. Take note of your surroundings.’ Or sometimes,” Parker continues, “you feel energy flowing through a location. If you stand on it, it’s like feeling a breeze, but it’s not moving air, it’s a moving current. You can move stones to contain that energy so that a group can feel it.”

The Burlington Earth Clock is “way more ambitious than anything I’ve ever done,” Parker says. “It’s hard to tell how the public will respond, but I couldn’t think of a better city than Burlington to put it in.”

The Queen City has responded positively in what Brizendine says has been

We hope to create a space for centering and reconnecting people with themselves and their natural environment.

DR. PATRICK MCMANAWAY

The math may be arcane, but the uses for the resulting stone circle — which should begin construction around May or June 2006 — can be practical. It’s up to individual visitors and their “quality of consciousness,” McManaway says. “We hope to create a space for centering and reconnecting people with themselves and their natural environment,” he adds. But McManaway deflects the notion that there is just one proper way to approach a standing-stone site, or labyrinth, or any manmade “sacred” location. While some may use them to enhance meditation or a spiritual practice, anything from doing tai chi or flying kites, to wedding ceremonies or other rites of passage are appropriate, he suggests.

Trained in both holistic healing modalities and mainstream Western medicine, McManaway is now a full-time

McManaway will double-check his computer-calculated measurements against the sun’s movement, and Circles for Peace will be fundraising in support of the Burlington Earth Clock project.

Brizendine explains that several of the group’s members met each other over the past decade in stone-circle workshops. Some of those took place in North Danville on an 800-acre tree farm owned by Steve Parker. His own interest in earth energies developed over the years because, Parker says, “I noticed that different places feel different . . . What we’ve tried to do is identify those places on the landscape that have a feel, or energy, to them, and to in some way enhance or intensify that energy to make it into a place that people find attractive.”

What does it feel like when you

a three-year process. So far. Parks & Rec recommended the site and permitted the project, and the South End Neighborhood Planning Assembly gave it a thumbs-up.

Spiritual considerations aside, visitors to the standing-stone site will at least find it a spectacular public art installation with an equally grand view — particularly on those days when the setting sun strikes the tops of the stones. “I think it inspires us to contemplate the awe and mystery of being, really,” suggests McManaway. “It’s a way to reconnect back to the seasons, to come back into rhythm, especially for those with office jobs.”

Perhaps it is one of the world’s ironies that if you stop running in circles and step inside one, you might feel a whole lot better. m

GOP Turncoat? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Republican Party leadership is not pleased with the name of one of their own, veteran State Sen. Vince Illuzzi (R-Essex/Orleans), appearing on a list of supporters released last week by the Welch for Congress Campaign. State Sen. Peter Welch, as you know, is a Democrat.

Illuzzi, a senator since 1981, told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known Welch since the early 1980s when they served together, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watched him mature from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;taxand-spend liberalâ&#x20AC;? to more of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;moderate.â&#x20AC;?

Vince said he was also disturbed by our recent report that GOP congressional candidate Martha Rainville, adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard, had first sought a primary-free campaign path as a Democrat before falling into the arms of GOP Gov. Jim Douglas.

Camp Rainville denied it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps as the Republicans embrace Martha Rainville,â&#x20AC;? said Illuzzi, â&#x20AC;&#x153;perhaps they should decide for themselves whether she really is a Republican by default or by design.â&#x20AC;?

Ouch! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individual office holders will make individual decisions based on whatever they feel is appropriate,â&#x20AC;? responded GOP Chairman Jim Barnett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that Martha Rainville is a certifiable Republican in the Jim Douglas mold, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely delighted to have her.â&#x20AC;?

Mad Dog acknowledged Marvelous Martha â&#x20AC;&#x153;was courted by both Republicans and Democrats.â&#x20AC;?

But, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that demonstrates what a broad appeal she has across the political spectrum.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Broad Appealâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Generalissima Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign coordinator, Nathan Rice, tells â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? neither the Rainville Campaign nor the national GOP were behind a recent telephone survey conducted about 10 days ago that focused on Rainvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional candidacy.

The funny thing about the poll, according to one reader called, was that the questions were less about Rainville and more the calleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings on various issues such as the Iraq War, gay marriage and abortion, as well as on themes like â&#x20AC;&#x153;promoting a safer world and a hopeful Americaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;restoring the American dream.â&#x20AC;?

Sounded a little like a candidate in search of the right campaign package. Like a poll taken to tell Martha who she should be. Tell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em what they want to hear, right?

After all, nobody really knows where Gen. Rainville stands on issues. So far, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to hide behind the uniform and do it well.

That will only last so long.

Freeps Wins Award! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congratulations to the Gannett chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont outpost, The Burlington Free Press. Publisher

Jim Carey is apparently feeling a bit shy; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no mention of the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent acceptance of a prestigious environmental award!

At its recent annual conference, Renewable Energy Vermont awarded The Burlington Free Press its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Energy Ostrich Award.â&#x20AC;?

What for? The dailyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 20 boneheaded, shortsighted editorials published since February 2004 that trashed the development of wind energy in Vermont.

The prize is a bucket of sand with an ostrich egg atop it.

According to outgoing REV board chair Lawrence Mott of Earth Turbines Inc. in Hinesburg, â&#x20AC;&#x153;REV has created this award to highlight a missed opportunity, and willingness to ignore the changing times we live in. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Energy Ostrich Awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; represents a head-in-the-sand approach to the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Editorial Board of The Burlington Free Press won,â&#x20AC;? said Mott, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for carrying on in a manner that ignores the latest information, misses an opportunity to convey current, factual data, and remains dogmatic in its approach to Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy future.â&#x20AC;?

And since REV officials delivered the award in person about 10 days ago, the Freeps has published two more anti-wind diatribes! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become the editorial fetish of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest daily.

Even our sources in the utility industry have been shaking their heads at the blanket idiocy of the Freepsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anti-wind onslaught.

However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editorial page has been way out of touch with Vermonters.

Remember 2000, when the legislature broke historic ground by establishing civil unions? Remember how Publisher Carey banned editorials on the subject?

The paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head was in the sand back then, too.

Bratislava Update â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Word from sources on the banks of the Blue Danube is that Vermonter Skip Vallee, the new U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Slovakia (the eastern half of the former Czechoslovakia) is winning over the natives with his fancy footwork . . . on skates! Vallee, the Vermont fuel dealer, mini-martchain owner and former state GOP official, is a former high school and college hockey star.

These days, Skip laces them up for a Bratislava pickup league and, when he travels the country for official visits, he brings his skates along and plays with the locals.

The Slovak media has picked up on it. Hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big there. Could it be the Bush administration finally got one appointment right?

In fact, Vallee recently scored some points with the locals by speeding up U.S. visas for Slovak hockey players reaching for the glory of the North American NHL. As the ambassador recently told the Slovak Spectator, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my priorities is that we should arrange visas in the shortest possible time.

We have already made some progress in this area, when we managed to get the visas for Slovak hockey players done real fast.â&#x20AC;?

He shoots. He scores!

P.S. More on Valleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life

behind the old Iron Curtain may be coming soon in our local daily. Sources say Burlington Free Press staff writers Terri and Brent Hallenbeck were recently spotted in Bratislava looking like American tourists.

Maybe the Freeps will make up for spelling Vallee’s last name wrong in their May 7 front page headline announcing his appointment?

Rogan Returns — Former Dean for President deputy campaign manager Bob Rogan returned to the real world this week as vice-president for public affairs at Green Mountain Power.

Before the Howard Dean political circus kicked in, Rogan held a similar position at CVPS. And before that he served on Dean’s gubernatorial staff.

Rogan will be replacing Steve Terry, who is retiring in January.

Welcome back to the Vermont power wars, Bob! Hot Seats! — There’s no better place on earth to catch a sunset than Burlington’s Battery Park.

But even though the Burlington Police Department is right next door, parks officials have had a hard time protecting the benches along the promenade from vandalism. A few are missing.

To change all that, says Parks & Rec Director Wayne Gross, they’ve come up with a great solution: eight brand-new sturdy benches will soon be installed and, for a $525 fee, a sponsor can have a name or message engraved on a brass plaque affixed to the bench!

It’s worked out great for the swinging benches on the waterfront boardwalk, says Gross, so officials want to give Battery Park a shot.

Visit the department’s snappy website — http://www.enjoy burlington.com — for more info.

Uncensored — Fortunately, the Parks & Rec Department operates in a more democratic fashion than does the Burlington Censorship, er, Electric Department when it comes to “peace.”

Last week, we reported on BED General Manager Barb Grimes’ censorship of a mural recently painted on the BED’s storage building on Pine Street for the South End Art Hop. Grimes said she was concerned about artist Ron Hernandez’s “antiwar message,” and ordered him to change it.

Meanwhile, Parks & Rec has given the green light to a Circles for Peace-sponsored Burlington Earth Clock to be installed along the bikepath at Blanchard Beach in the South End. It’s described as “a stone circle for peace on Burlington’s waterfront.” See Pamela Polston’s story, “Rock Show,” on page 19a for more info.

It’s “kind of a neat little project,” declared Parks & Rec Director Wayne Gross.

The dedication and groundbreaking is this Saturday, October 8, at 5 p.m. Free cider and donuts.

BED officials are welcome! m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

Air Pressures Challenging Vermont Air Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission at Burlington International Airport

In Burlington, however, the 2005 BRAC Report was a minor news blip. Few IMAGES Vermonters seemed interested, or even JORDAN aware, that the Vermont Air National SILVERMAN Guard base at Burlington International Airport might have been among the 19 Air Guard units around the country with planes and personnel grounded or reassigned.

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Air National Guard unit emerged from the BRAC review process unscathed, thanks in large part to U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, who co-chairs the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Guard caucus. But now, VTANG could face a new threat in an

combat missions. Cochran points out that in late 2004, pilots and F-16s from Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 158th Fighter Wing were sent to Iraq to fly â&#x20AC;&#x153;close air supportâ&#x20AC;? missions during the siege of Najaf, which effectively meant dropping bombs on Iraqis. He claims the Wing has evolved into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;first-tier combat unitâ&#x20AC;? equipped with state-of-the-art technology and employing several hundred full-time Department of Defense employees. In short, the Burlington Airport is quietly being turned into a full-time, active-duty bomber base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask the city if they could base bombers in the airport, they just did it,â&#x20AC;? says Cochran. Take Back the Air Guard plans to ask the city council to adopt a resolution condemning this change in mission and recommending that the city terminate its lease agreement with the federal government until the bombers are removed from

Cochran claims that the Burlington Airport is quietly being turned into a full-time, active-duty bomber base. unlikely political venue. Next week, a local community group plans to ask the Burlington City Council to take a closer look at how VTANGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission has changed, and to decide if the city should continue leasing the Guard land and runway space at Burlington International Airport.

Take Back the Air Guard describes itself as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ad hoc, grassroots, nonpartisan coalition of Burlington residents who intend to stop the Pentagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misuse of our Air Guard and our airport, compel the Pentagon to restore the Air Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proper mission of defending this state and this nation, and keep the men and women of the Air Guard at home, where they belong.â&#x20AC;?

Hal Cochran is a retired lawyer and teacher living in Burlington and one of Take Back the Air Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead organizers.

Cochran asserts that since 1998, the Pentagon has transformed VTANG from a strictly defensive wing that patrols the airspace of the continental United States into a bomber squadron that also flies overseas

the airport and the Air Guard is restored to â&#x20AC;&#x153;its traditional and proper missionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; air defense of the homeland. The lease agreement, which concerns 223 acres of cityowned land, is set to expire on June 30, 2008.

But VTANG spokesperson Lt. Col. Sonny Schumacher challenges the citizen groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamental assumptions, asserting that the 158th Fighter Wing is fulfilling the same dual state and federal missions itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always performed. At the state level, he explains, the Air Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to assist in times of civil unrest, natural disasters and other emergencies when asked to do so by the governor. Its federal mission, Schumacher says, is to provide the U.S. Air Force with combat-ready personnel and equipment that can be used during wartime and other national emergencies, such as Hurricane Katrina and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

According to Lt. Col. Sonny Schumacher, the Vermont Air National Guard has been deployed in every major overseas military conflict since Korea. combat missions are nothing new for the 158th Fighter Wing, whose history dates back to July 1946. He notes that Vermont Air National Guard personnel and equipment have been deployed in every major overseas military conflict since Korea, flying both airto-air and air-to-ground support missions. Schumacher adds that the 158th has also been deployed in a variety of other overseas missions, from defending the southern no-fly zone in Iraq in the 1990s to tracking aircraft suspected of smuggling drugs from South America.

Schumacher denies the suggestion that the Air Guard facility at Burlington Airport is being transformed into an active-duty base. He believes that some of this confusion may have arisen from the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misunderstanding of a new Air Force practice called â&#x20AC;&#x153;community basingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the assignment of active-duty Air Force personnel to Air National Guard units. Community basing allows the Air Force and Air National Guard to share equipment, personnel and training at a significant cost savings.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works, according to Schumacher and VTANG documents: Unlike active-duty Army soldiers, active-duty Air Force personnel generally have less experience than Air Guardsmen. Community basing allows these younger and less experi-

enced airmen to work and train alongside their Air Guard counterparts while living in the local community.

Again according to Schumacher, this relationship increases VTANGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combat readiness while giving the Air Force â&#x20AC;&#x153;more bang for the buck,â&#x20AC;? since it no longer has to maintain all the services and facilities of an active-duty base such as dorms, commissaries, grocery stores and houses of worship. Community basing also fulfills the Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of dispersing its forces, making them less vulnerable to attack, while also increasing the branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility in local communities.

Currently, the Air Force is testing community basing with the Vermont Air National Guard.

Since last spring, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stationed 12 active-duty Air Force maintenance personnel at the VTANG base. Schumacher says both the number and types of personnel could be expanded, depending on how this trial run goes. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how many more airmen may be stationed in Burlington.

But Cochran maintains that permanently assigning active-duty Air Force people in Burlington represents a fundamental shift in VTANGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission. Currently, 330 of the 1058 members of the Air National Guard are full-time federal employees. Cochran contends that if community basing proves successful, it could result in hundreds more active-duty per-

SEVEN DAYS | october 05-12, 2005 | feature 25A

sonnel being permanently stationed in Burlington, as well as an expansion of the Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence at the airport. That could mean more fighter jets, more daily flyovers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more risk to Burlington residents.

Cochran points out that 52 towns and cities around the state, including Burlington, passed resolutions in March condemning the Iraq War and the deployment of National Guard troops and resources, and calling on the General Assembly to set up a commission to assess the impact of those deployments on Vermont National Guard readiness. To date, no such commission has been formed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reportedly, it died under lobbying pressure from the Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top brass.

None of the Burlington city councilors contacted for this story was willing to comment on this issue until they get more information from VTANG and Take Back the Vermont Guard, and Cochran wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say which councilors have expressed interest in sponsoring the resolution. Council President Ian Carlton (Dâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Ward 1) says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asked the city attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to provide information about Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority regarding the airport and its relationship with VTANG. But Carlton says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early for him to have formed an opinion on the issue.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that city councilors are wary of handling this political hot potato, especially since it may turn out that they have little or no legal authority to do anything about it. The Vermont Air National Guard has enjoyed staunch political support from both Democratic and Republican administrations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lt. Gov. Brian Dubieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Mike, is currently an Air National Guard general â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and each year VTANGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s payroll contributes about $23 million to the local economy. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unknown whether such a resolution, even if it passed, would be anything more than another symbolic gesture by the City of Burlington against the Iraq War. Nevertheless, Cochran says Burlington residents deserve a say in how city-owned property is being used, especially if VTANGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s F-16s are being equipped with nuclear weapons. Moreover, if the city council is unwilling to take up the issue itself, Cochran says it could become a ballot issue for Town Meeting Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as the City of Burlington allows the Department of Defense to base a bomber squadron at the airport, we are complicit in the Iraq War,â&#x20AC;? Cochran says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our airport and our responsibility to do everything we can to fight against this war and other crazy, illegal, preemptive, unjust, bloody wars.â&#x20AC;? m

Satanic Verses?

Poetry review: Ghost Pain

by Sydney Lea

Y

ou don’t often meet Satan in modern poetry. Generally relegated to fire-andbrimstone sermons and movies with too many special effects, the personification of evil seems like a relic of a more STORY superstitious age. But not in Vermont MARGOT poet Sydney Lea’s “666: Father of lies.”

HARRISON The devil appears there in person, albeit with “no cape no horn no swinging Ghost Pain: tail.” Instead, the protagonist sees: Poems by Sydney Lea, Sarabande Books, 101 pages, $13.95.

Fastfood franchise manager, maybe — frogflesh middle, lividity, polyester shirt, petty authority’s manner: smirk upon smirk.

The devil is here in his classic role as tempter: The poem’s protagonist, an unnamed “man,” is an alcoholic experiencing a dark night of the soul. In “Dry drunk: the rowing,” the “father of lies” appears again, enticing the newly sober hero to fall off the wagon: The polyester devil offered a steaming toddy, Vodka-clean, warmed on his backyard grill In a beaker shaped like an owl . . .

in “Talent from birth.”

A modern salvation narrative, peppered with biblical language and allusions, is a lot for a poet to pull off.

Newbury author Lea knows what he’s doing: He is the founder and former editor of the New England Review and the author of seven previous poetry collections — one a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His spiritual concerns are firmly rooted in the physical world — a world that’s beautiful and grotesque, amusingly wanton and terrifyingly random. It’s a world where a rural drunk can come into a recovery meeting and sum up his life by saying, “We found the bottom of stupid and dug us a hole” (in “Hole”). We grin at the wit of his metaphor even as we flinch from the suffering it conveys.

Ghost Pain comes in three sections.

In the first, “Was Blind But Now,” Lea gives us poems with an autobiographical cast — snapshots of a violent childhood, vignettes of life in a rural Vermont town. Their dark undercurrent reaches the surface in “Epidemic,” a catalogue of the poet’s friends and relatives who have been struck by cancer. Here, as often in the volume, Lea questions the

everyman figure of the title. Lea starts this section with an old joke — “A man walked into a bar” — that quickly becomes a briskly gruesome narrative of drinking oneself blind. From there, we follow “the man” through his struggles with the devil and a childhood memory in which he asks where the soul goes after death and is told “Ask the Old Indian.” The enigmatic figure comes to represent his hope of transcendence.

Though that hope is fulfilled by the

By showing us the grit inside the beauty, the predators who prowl the natural landscape and the devil inside the man — a “polyester devil,” no less — Lea makes hoary themes new.

A thoroughly modern incarnation, the “polyester devil” mocks the idea of truth and works on his victim’s insecurities, parroting the “jargon” of recovery movements: “paranoia, depression, anxiety, guilt.” Yet the protagonist is convinced that “Truth for all its battering by him / crouched in his mind’s dim den.” Eventually, given time and a reverent attentiveness to the natural world, the “battered” truth emerges. “Everything out in the Yankee woods / recalled the hour of its creation, / and even dying, declared it good,” Lea writes, describing the “man”’s epiphany

potential of mere words to measure up to the realities he’s describing.

I incline to think my life wasted in trying to say the unsayable, hunting new words for old catastrophes and not screaming to something for what, not much, I’m worth, Save them.

That questioning turns to despair in the second section, entitled “A Man Walked Out,” in which the poet’s “I” vanishes and is replaced by the potential

end of the poem cycle, the man’s battle is far from over.

In the third section, “Broken Haven,” the poet’s first-person voice returns, and his subjects again become more diverse, though there’s no mistaking the unifying themes. While the phrase “broken haven” appears to refer to a church, Lea leaves no doubt that even a broken haven is better than none. The book ends with a beatific description of a concert in Prague’s Church of St. Francis.

Stylistically, Lea does perhaps the most important thing for a modern

poet — he keeps the readers attentive by keeping them on their toes. Some poems are conversational, adopting slang and the language of no-nonsense rural folk — “crazy as a landlock loon,” for instance. Others sprawl long sentences across enjambments and incorporate latinate words that sound like literal translations from French: “enounced,” “pelage.” (Ghost Pain also includes several actual translations of acerbic, tantalizing prose poems by the 20th-century French surrealist Henri Michaux.)

Lea experiments with rhyme, as well: Some poems are blank verse, others waver between full rhyme and assonance or consonance, and many end decisively on a rhyming couplet. The best poems take us from “poetic” to colloquial language and back in a few sentences.

The imminence of death, the insufficiency of words, the beauty of nature and the solace of religion are hoary themes for poets. By showing us the grit inside the beauty, the predators who prowl the natural landscape and the devil inside the man — a “polyester devil,” no less — Lea makes them new.

He also offers something to a culture in which religious believers and skeptics increasingly regard one another with suspicion. Readers who have come to associate “finding God” with the smarm of televangelists may be struck by the image of a congregation in “Ghost Pain”: We’re easy to mock, and aren’t we hypocrites, you ask?

Nowhere does faith claim we’re not.

Hypocrisy comes with the territory: being human.m

Chain Reaction m gripping a heavy Husqvarna chainsaw, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

It’s mid-afternoon on a recent Monday, and everything is soggy from a passing storm. Leaves glisten with raindrops; the wetness amplifies the sounds of cars rushing by on Route 114. I’m feeling just as sodden, as sweat runs down my neck and pools in the small of my back. I steady my boots in the underbrush. I don’t dare look up at the nine burly men standing slightly higher on the slope, staring down at me and my balsam with their arms crossed.

We’re playing a game: the Game of Logging. Just before I pull the cord to start up the Husky, I contemplate my chances of winning. Before now, I’ve never held a chainsaw in my life. I’ve never even split firewood with an axe. The only time I’ve ever cut wood, in fact, was a poison oak branch I once whittled into a stick for roasting marshmallows. That taught me a thing or two about messing with what you don’t know.

Most of the men around me, on the other hand, have been felling trees for

decades. Pitch seems to ooze from their pores. I half expect sawdust to come flying out when they cough. Chances are I won’t win. But the stakes are higher than that. If I mess up too severely in the next few minutes, I could end up losing not only the game but a chunk of my own flesh.

The Game of Logging is the brainchild of a Swedish man named Soren Eriksson.

Turning chainsaws into a game might not seem like the brightest idea, but Eriksson’s invention has actually made the logging industry safer. It’s also spiked production, reduced ergonomic injuries and encouraged camaraderie among individuals long accustomed to lonely stints in the woods.

What exactly is the Game of Logging?

That’s what I’m aiming to find out when I show up for the Level I course at the NorthWoods Stewardship Center, a nonprofit teaching and outdoors facility in East Charleston. We begin by milling about in a woodshed with signs bearing slogans such as “Don’t Be a Lamb, Be a Ram.” Bright yellow hard hats hang on

Instructor Dave Birdsall wears a bushy beard and orangeand-blue Husqvarna suspenders clipped to pants as thick as a phonebook. He’s 47 and looks like the quintessential lumberjack. Before the day’s out, I’ll learn that the preferred term is “logger.” I’ll also find out that yelling “timber!” is as uncool as George W. Bush holding a

limbing and woods management.

Next, Birdsall gives us a brief biography of Eriksson. He originally wanted to be a boxer, but found that cutting down trees in Sweden left him too exhausted to train at the end of the day. So in the 1960s he devised a way to conserve his energy. Instead of using the traditional method of two face cuts and a back-cut, he’d plunge his chainsaw straight through the center of

wearing this baby-blue outfit, with funny-looking boots on and all this stuff hanging off him,” Birdsall recalls. “The loggers were like, ‘What the heck is this?’”

But when Eriksson bet money and turned his teaching into a game, the loggers paid attention. The forestry industry also took notice. According to Birdsall, one company found that its loggers were 60 to 80

chainsaw with only a cowboy hat as protective gear, a scene Birdsall points out as one of the most hilarious in Michael Moore’s movie Fahrenheit 911.

Birdsall kicks off the course with a brief overview of what we’ll be learning: chainsaw safety and controlled directional felling techniques. Level II covers saw maintenance and sharpening, while Levels III and IV address felling difficult trees as well as

the tree in what’s called a bore cut. When Eriksson’s boss saw that he was pumping out more wood than anybody else, he encouraged him to share his techniques with his colleagues.

In the 1970s, Eriksson sought to spread his gospel among American loggers. When he visited Sterling College, where Birdsall was then teaching, Eriksson was nearly laughed off campus. “The guy shows up

percent more productive after “playing” the Game of Logging, while accidents decreased 80 percent.

These days, the Game of Logging is all over the place. Big competitions are held, and Game of Logging workshops operate like a franchise, with 12 to 15 licensed instructors in the United States. Many of the participants are middle-aged or

retired landowners, such as my classmates at the NorthWoods Stewardship Center. Mike Connor, for example, introduces himself as owning 300 acres of woodlot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to manage it carefully and pay off our mortgages,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used a chainsaw since I was 10, but never had any official training.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Coleman of Newark wants to make use of the dead wood on his land; Jeffersonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Titcomb would like to fell trees with more precision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? declines to give me his real name because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid it will spoil the surprise he has planned for his girlfriend. During the round of introductions, Doc says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to build my confidence,â&#x20AC;? which I hear as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to build my coffin.â&#x20AC;?

The Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration cites logging as the most dangerous job in the country, Birdsall points out during our morning safety review. Hence

approach. First, figure out the best place for the tree to fall and put a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hit stakeâ&#x20AC;? in the ground.

Then, conduct the five-point felling plan: look for dead wood around the tree; the lean of the tree; the escape route; the length and angles of the cuts; and the order in which it will all be executed. He tells us to be aware of such factors as butt swell, or expansion, at the lower end of the tree, and which are the good and bad sides of the tree.

When we fell our trees weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be given points based on how well weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created a plan, left a clean stump, and hit the target.

Safety violations, such as forgetting to put on our earmuffs, mean points off.

Then Birdsall picks me as the guinea pig to fell the first tree, which is how I end up at the base of a balsam fir, nearly sweating through my chaps. My hit stake, 25 feet away, seems to mock me, just like the folded arms of my classmates. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll land this tree near the marker.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out that yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;timber!â&#x20AC;? is as uncool as George W. Bush holding a chainsaw with only a cowboy hat as protective gear. the necessity to wear a hard hat, earmuffs, chainsaw-resistant chaps and a waterproof neck protector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you focusing on those 30 to 40 razor blades going 60 miles an hour,â&#x20AC;?

Birsdall asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got ice water running down your butt?â&#x20AC;?

He also suggests carrying a first-aid kit; his own includes a mirror, which he says is handy for checking a neck wound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You gotta pinch the pipe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaking,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a mirror, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a warm, wet hole.â&#x20AC;?

By now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty creeped out about the chainsaws and thinking I might just want to sit back and watch when we venture to the woods for the handson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or off, as the case may be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; part of the course. It gets even scarier when Birdsall explains reactive forces by drawing a skull and crossbones on a corner of his Husqvarnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar he calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;death zone.â&#x20AC;? If we try to make a bore cut with this corner first, the chainsaw will â&#x20AC;&#x153;kick backâ&#x20AC;? and possibly rip through the shoulder or head.

Birdsall demonstrates how to fell a tree using Erikssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

But I start up the chainsaw and, with Birdsallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaching, manage to slice a nice fin of wood from the trunk, and then make a decent bore cut through the center of the tree. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do is cut â&#x20AC;&#x153;the trigger,â&#x20AC;? or the part of the trunk thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still holding it together, and scoot out of the way.

I cut the trigger and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nothing. The tree just stands there like, well, a tree. So I go back, make a wider bore cut, nick the trigger again, and run down the slope. I hear a crack and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wham â&#x20AC;&#x201D; watch the balsam fall. My classmates clap, and one proudly tells me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve driven the hit stake through the ground.

Birdsall adds up my score: 40 points, but 10 points off for the safety violation of gripping the chainsaw incorrectly.

Connor will earn 38 points and take home the prize of new protective gloves and a T-shirt.

Show-off.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not bitter. Walking out of the woods with all of my fingers and toes intact, I figure that in the Game of Logging, the consolation prize is just fine. m

A new cow doc in Addison County bucks a national vet trend

Dr. Annie Starvish is a fraction of the size of her patient at the Berthiaume Farm in Salisbury, but she definitely has the upper hand on a recent Friday morning. That’s because her charge — a 1500-pound dairy cow suffering from an unknown ailment — is in a metal headlock. Starvish pulls on a shoulderlength rubber glove and plunges her entire left arm into the animal’s rectum. “I can feel the cervix but not beyond it,” she reports, pushing up against the back of the animal for deeper penetration.

Starvish is trying to determine whether the animal is pregnant. The rectal palpation is the most reliable way to find out. Whether or not Starvish can confirm there’s a fetus in this unhappy Holstein will chart the course of the animal’s medical treatment. More to the point, it will decide whether she lives to give birth or dies of a displaced abomasum — a common gastric condition, usually caused by a change in eating patterns, that can be corrected with surgery.

“I don’t know if you want to cut her or just beef her,” Starvish says matter of factly, sharing her diagnosis with herd manager Pat Leduc.

With the cold calculation of a corporate banker, he responds, “If she’s got a calf in her, go ahead.”

Such decisions are made daily in the utilitarian world of commercial dairy farming. Here efficiency and economics override emotion. Animals that aren’t producing milk — or new life — are expendable.

Plenty of them get shipped off to a plant in Pennsylvania that turns bad bovine investments into burger.

Harder to find are medical professionals trained to care for these creatures. Largeanimal vets are a dying breed, according to a recent New York Times article in which researchers claim, “If trends continue, there will not be enough veterinarians to care for the animals that end up on the country’s dining tables.”

Ditto the animals that supply the country’s milk, butter and cheese. Nearly all the grads coming out of vet school these days are rejecting the difficult working conditions associated with large-animal care in favor of small-animal practice, which is more lucrative and comfortable.

“All across the country, agencies like ours are struggling to find associates,” says Dr. Glen Cousineau of Cornwall’s Valleywide Veterinary Services, a group practice serving dairy-rich Addison County. When one of the six vets retired last year, the partners circulated a helpwanted ad “worldwide.” They heard nothing for three months until Starvish, in her last year of vet school, inquired about the job. Of 84 vets graduating from Cornell, she was one of two looking for a dairy-vet job. She worked on a 2000-head dairy farm while she was at Cornell, and spent a postgrad month treating sick cows in Georgia.

“It’s only a rare bird like Annie that wants to do this,” says Cousineau, also a Cornell grad, who was Valleywide’s last newgrad hire 15 years ago. More remarkable still, Starvish, a New Hampshire native, is female and didn’t grow up on a farm.

Why would a 27-year-old former ballet dancer who likes to shop and watch “Six Feet Under” choose a profession that puts her squarely between potentially dangerous animals and the collective gaze of some of the most traditional men on the planet? “I don’t like toy-breed dogs,” Starvish declares, as if a single soundbite could explain her unusual career choice.

More illuminating is her longheld practice of putting roadkill out of its misery. Confronted with an animal that has been struck by a car, Starvish typically either runs it over “like, two more times,” or gives it a shot to euthanize it. She keeps a supply of “sodium pento barb” in the glove compartment of her truck. In blue coveralls and rubber boots, this practical practitioner and longtime vegetarian sees no contradiction between loving cows and finishing them off. She reasons, “When the animal has a job to do, and doesn’t do it, she gets a new job — like beef.”

Starvish’s patient won’t meet that particular fate today. The cow is indeed carrying a calf, so the $140 surgery is in order. The vet heads out to her truck, strawberryblonde ponytail bouncing, and schleps in all the necessary operating equipment: portable razors, a bucket of water, soap, IV, sutures, local anesthesia, syringes, gauze.

Planning ahead is a big part of the work. So is driving long distances — using a fleet of company trucks, the practitioners at Valleywide each rack up about 30,000 miles a year.

Starvish lays out her sterilized surgical instruments on top of a metal tool box while a farmhand hoses down manure in the nearby holding area. He’s intrigued, especially when he realizes Starvish intends to operate with the animal standing up.

“Is this a new way to do a DA?” he asks of the displaced abomasum.

“No, it’s just me,” Starvish says patiently. Her male colleagues tend to do this procedure with the cow lying on its side.

The farmhand accepts her explanation, adding, “I’ll feed ’em, I’ll

clean ’em, I’ll give ’em bottles, but I won’t do that.” He turns away while Starvish preps a large area on the animal’s right side, soaping, shaving and disinfecting it before administering three shots of lidocaine, a local anesthetic. “I use a lot,” Starvish explains. “I really don’t want the cow to feel anything.”

The cow doesn’t like the needles, though — Starvish dodges a few desperate sideways kicks.

Minutes later, the skin twitches when she cuts into it with a scalpel, making an 8-inch vertical incision.

Once she penetrates the thick, black hide, though, the animal seems to relax. Slicing through the muscle layers and peritoneum is a cinch.

Then she opens the gash like a handbag and her left arm disappears again — this time, into the cow’s gut. Blood drips down the animal’s side while Starvish feels around for the stomach, which has “floated” into the wrong place. Every time the cow takes a breath, steam comes out the hole in her side.

“I’m trying to get oriented,” Starvish says cheerfully, feeling for the pyloris that indicates the distal end of the stomach. She pulls a portion of it out, along with a chunk of the small intestine, just to make sure she’s found the right spot. The goal is to secure the stomach to the inside of the peritoneum by suturing it in place.

With a curved needle, she starts sewing, layer after layer, until she get to the skin. It takes a long

Now I guess it looks like I torture animals all day,” she says with a sigh. “But the way I see it, I’m teaching people how to take care of their animals. I’m in it for the cows. I feel like I’m benefiting them by stepping up cow care, cow comfort, in the county.”

come in to get their daily marching orders. An answering service collects messages throughout the night from clients who need a vet the following day. But one of the six is always on call to respond to emergencies, which tend to be complications during calving.

This practical practitioner and longtime vegetarian sees no contradiction between loving cows and finishing them off. time. When she’s done, she sprays the wound with something that looks like silver spray paint — “to keep the flies off.”

A number of heifers have congregated near the surgical stall.

They’re curious, and, between milkings, not exactly pressed for time. They stare with big eyes, but shy away when confronted.

Starvish notes the sad irony of being a vet. “I’ve been — I don’t want to say animal rights — but a huge animal lover and advocate.

You can easily miss the low-slung building occupied by Valleywide Veterinary on Route 30 in Cornwall. But livestock farmers throughout Addison County know exactly where it is.

They stop in to buy pharmaceuticals or to drop off samples for testing — more and more farmers these days administer their own medications.

The best time to catch all six vets together is between eight and nine in the morning, when they

Starvish’s first-ever was a wee-hour C-section.

The docs come in through the basement, which houses the garage, lab and laundry facilities.

The four working Friday appear to be as varied as the farmers they serve. Dr. Bob Taylor, who cofounded Valleywide in 1974, is the eldest cow doc. The sixty something vet mostly keeps to himself.

In jeans and a baseball cap, Dr. Kent Anderson, 50, is the chattiest — and most “alternative” — of

the bunch. Cousineau, who has a reputation for encyclopedic knowledge, is at the microscope, examining a fecal sample. He calls Starvish over to have a look at some lively lung worms.

All of the vets at Valleywide but Starvish are equal partners in the business. Their numbers guarantee them a certain amount of sanity.

“When you’re off, you’re off,” says Cousineau, who keeps sheep.

Anderson raises replacement heifers.

Taylor has beef cows. But their quality of life is predicated on full staffing and a good daytime dispatcher. Before Starvish was hired, at an annual salary of $45,000, her colleagues were working very long days. The number of farms in Addison County may be diminishing, Cousineau points out, but the total herd count is not.

Daily vet visits are divided up geographically, and all the docs except rookie Starvish have established relationships with certain farms. That means they usually do the farm’s “herd checks,” palpating heifers to see if they’re pregnant or “still open.” They’re also available for consultation, health certificates, and meetings with bankers or feedcompany nutritionists.

“But if they have a sick cow, >> 34A

any of us could show up,â&#x20AC;? Starvish observes. After the surgery at Berthiaumeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, for example, she tends to a cow previously treated by one of her colleagues. He glued a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blockâ&#x20AC;? to the bottom of the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ulcerated hoof to take the pressure off the wound. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s since come off, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Janeâ&#x20AC;? has no interest in standing up. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also managed to get her legs tangled up in the bars of her pen. It takes an electric prod â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and two people assisting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to get the cow up into a position that lets Starvish affix a new block with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bovi-Bondâ&#x20AC;? glue.

The Valleywide vets have their specialties. Anderson works more with small family-owned dairies than the large milking operations that are replacing them. An Ohio State grad, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;partial to pastureâ&#x20AC;? and nostalgic for the old days when everybody helped the visiting vet. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention James Herriott or his bestselling rural vet books,

milk, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re voting with your dollars for farms to get bigger,â&#x20AC;? he notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set their own prices. Meanwhile, vet prices go up.

The cost of diesel is up. Relatively speaking, the price of milk hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed in 50 years.â&#x20AC;? He notes with sadness that Thomas Dairy in Rutland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the last truly local dairies in the region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is auctioning off its herd next week.

Organic milk production, too, is a complicated issue from a veterinary point of view. The product fetches a better price, in some cases $24 per hundredweight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; compared with a base of $14.75 for non-organic. But Anderson questions health regulations that forbid the treatment of sore teats with bag balm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a petroleum product â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or orally administering mineral oil. And in summer, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no permissible, effective way to keep the flies off the animals.

The next stop on Starvishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday schedule is an organic

Impressed by her display of nimbleness, Schut comments on Starvishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general competence: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can certainly handle the job, from what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen so far.â&#x20AC;?

Veterinary medicine is not exactly beginner-friendly; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physically demanding and dangerous, and the equipment is different at every farm. Starvish notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to look dumb because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how the pen works, or where the water is.â&#x20AC;? She preempts the inevitable wisecracking with forthrightness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m new.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m slow,â&#x20AC;? she tells anyone who will listen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not insulted at all if people think I need help.â&#x20AC;?

Gender has not been an issue, she claims, although she concedes that finding a place to pee on the farm can be challenging. Starvish recently visited a farmer she later found out had said he would never let a woman vet on his farm.

though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made it sound a lot more glamorous than it is,â&#x20AC;? says Anderson, who blames All Creatures Great and Small for the spike in vet-school applications when he was applying, in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there in 20 below zero, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a cow with a prolapsed uterus thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frozen to the ground, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to shove it back in.â&#x20AC;?

Despite his â&#x20AC;&#x153;old-fashionedâ&#x20AC;? bias, Anderson readily admits that farm size is not a fair measure of a good dairy farm, or cow health.

Bridportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 900-head Blue Spruce Dairy has an excellent reputation.

And, he suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some small farms where you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a cow.â&#x20AC;?

Most of the medical problems on Vermont dairy farms result from pushing the productivity envelope.

Bred for maximum lactation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;their metabolisms are going crazy,â&#x20AC;?

Starvish says of the heifers. Those â&#x20AC;&#x153;efficienciesâ&#x20AC;? are directly related to the economics of the industry.

Anderson has strong feelings on the subject: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want good, cheap

dairy farm in Florence. A Clif bar passes for lunch on the long drive south on Route 7. Nestled into an east-facing hillside, Morning Meadows Farm looks like an idyllic Old McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Free-range turkeys come out to meet the truck. Barn kittens cuddle up with the calves, all of which have names. Starvish is focused on three Ayrshires that will soon be auctioned off. She draws blood, checks tuberculosis tests, and affixes ear tags. Proprietor Ed Eugair stays right by her side.

In the course of her rounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Starvish can handle about six stops a day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the young veterinarian encounters all kinds of farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all introverts. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk,â&#x20AC;? she proclaims. But some are more enlightened than others.

Thirtysomething Dutchman Gert Schut of Whiting is producing a drinkable yogurt to get more value from his herd. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assisting Starvish, who is there to follow up on a toe amputation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the most gruesome things that we do,â&#x20AC;? she notes. Climbing all over

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was super-nice to me,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being female is less of an issue than being new,â&#x20AC;? Starvish asserts.

Her colleagues, too, have been understanding. When she makes mistakes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good about not making me feel like a big jerk.â&#x20AC;?

If there is a lazy bone in Starvishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 145-pound body, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not apparent on the job. She used to lift weights when she was in school.

Now, she stays pumped wrestling cows. She runs occasionally on the weekends sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on call, but sleep is her top priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outside of work,â&#x20AC;? she confesses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just lay on the couch, without moving.â&#x20AC;?

Two Sundays ago, at church, she fell asleep during the sermon.

Starvish came to Vermont because there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough cows in New Hampshire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is as close to home as I can be and still work with just dairy cows,â&#x20AC;? she observes. Now, after three months traveling the back roads of Addison County, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

decided to make a life here. She visits her family often, though, and regales them with vet stories. Her sister has dubbed her “Dr. Moo.” Some family members are “grossed out,” she says.

Others can’t get enough of the mastitis and mad cow testing.

Or the details of a technique called “plank on the flank” used to straighten out a cow’s twisted uterus. “You stick a board on her abdomen and someone stands on the board while you roll the cow,” Starvish explains.

“You are holding the uterus in place and moving the cow. I did one last weekend.”

The Starvish family shouldn’t have been surprised by Annie’s choice of profession — although her livestock obsession started with sheep, not cows. She rented her first ewe in fourth grade, but eventually became shepherd to three sheep, one of which she showed in 4-H. Her parents took care of the flock while Starvish went off to Virginia Tech — she majored in animal science — and the year between college and vet school, when she worked at a smallanimal practice. The sheep were still alive when she got into ultra-competitive Cornell, so they came along, boarding with one of her professors.

Aloe died first, Starvish recalls. Then the other two got really sick, and Starvish ended up euthanizing them herself.

“It was nice,” she says of their dual death. “They just laid down.” She derived the same Kevorkian satisfaction recently by putting a disabled turkey out of its misery.

Starvish’s evangelistic empathy doesn’t extend to humans.

She snorts at the mention of medical school, preferring the simplicity of animals — “Cows can’t do anything to help themselves” — to people with their self-destructive behaviors.

“Alcohol, obesity. Got a fat cow? Just cut back on her feed,” she says, giving an example. “She doesn’t know to be embarrassed when someone is digging around in her butt.”

Starvish never liked the sedentary side of being a vet student. Not to mention the $100,000 in loans that financed the four-year program. But now she’s definitely in her element.

Even after a full day of farm visits, she seems genuinely psyched about the prospect of a Friday night “on call.” The shift supplies plenty of after-hours drama: The first emergency is a sick calf that Starvish ends up euthanizing. The second is a difficult birth out in a field in the dark.

Her 15-hour day ends at 11 p.m.

“You have to love it. If you don’t, you’re not going to last,” Starvish says, already sounding like a seasoned cow doctor.

“Putting that uterus back in at four in the morning. That was one time where I was, like, ‘I do this because?’ Then I was, like, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s really fun most of the time’ . . . I lucked out with this practice. Your first job can be great or really horrible.” m

Surfing the St. Lawrence en-X athletes in bikinis and wetsuits lounge beside the water, their colorful boards lined up behind them. In the shallows, surfers prepare their gear and wait to ride the rushing wave. Maui? Malibu?

Guess again. An hour-and-a-half north of Burlington, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surfing in MontrĂŠal.

Hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, and practically in the shadow of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skyline, this seems an unlikely site for an active surfing scene. But QuĂŠbec has something they can only dream about in California or Hawaii: an endless wave.

Imagine a 6-foot wave that runs forever, a wave you can slice and grind until your legs give out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wet dream, and a reality for those who surf the St. Lawrence River. River surfing is still in its infancy, but the sport is growing.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re catching waves on the Eisbach in Munich, Germany; the Mascaret in Bordeaux, France; the Margaret in Perth, Australia; the Zambezi in Zambia; the Willamette in Oregon; and the Nantahala in North Carolina. The best river wave in the world, though, is said to be in MontrĂŠal.

Unlike ocean waves, which move towards the shore and crash, river waves remain in one place and never break. Like artificially generated â&#x20AC;&#x153;swatch waves,â&#x20AC;? they form when a current in a rapid drops over an underwater ledge. The water flowing at the surface moves faster than the layer below, and when they try to equalize, a wave forms. The drop on the down-river side of the ledge, coupled with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;jacked-upâ&#x20AC;? water, forms the face of an endless wave. Most of these are tiny, but some are large enough to surf, and a rare few rival ocean waves.

MontrĂŠalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surfing community hangs dix behind Habitat 67, the stacked-boxes apartments designed by Moshe Safdie for Expo â&#x20AC;&#x2122;67. A well-worn path runs along the crest of the high riverbank to the site, where steep trails down the embankment allow surfers access to the water. The path also provides a grandstand from which spectators can watch the action on the wave.

The scene here is relaxed; all adrenaline seems reserved for the ride. Spectators wander in, mingle, stay a bit and then move on. Conversations ebb and flow between French and English, with a good measure of surfer jargon thrown in. A reference to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;360â&#x20AC;? is comprehensible even to an outsider, and an â&#x20AC;&#x153;aerialâ&#x20AC;? is pretty easy to envision. But other terms require explanation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going green,â&#x20AC;? for example, is a euphemism for surfing this particular wave that references the point at which the swell changes from a bluish-green-gray shade to a rich, dark, jade color.

Compared to the years of practice required to become a half-decent ocean surfer, mastering the river is relatively easy. Case in point: Hugo Lavictoire. He looks like a pro, confidently positioned on his board and even taking photos of the other surfers while he rides the wave â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he only started surfing at the end of last year. Like many other MontrĂŠal surfers, he owes his accelerated entrĂŠe to river-surfing guru Corran Addison.

Addison is a world authority on the sport, as well as a champion kayaker who holds, among other distinctions, the world record for the highest waterfall run. It was he who discovered the waves in the rapids of the St. Lawrence, in the late 1990s, while training for the world freestyle

Today Addison, who grew up in South Africa, designs river boards for the Italian company Drago Rossi, and teaches surfing classes in MontrĂŠal.

River surfing is a lot easier to get the hang of than the ocean variety, according to Addison. One major reason: time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On an ocean wave,â&#x20AC;? he explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;an experienced surfer can expect a 15- to 30-second ride; a beginner, perhaps five to 10 seconds. On a river wave, an experienced surfer can ride for an hour or more.â&#x20AC;? Do the math and the efficiency of river surfing is even more impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must spend two hours at the beach to catch 60 seconds of surfing, while two hours at the river provides about 10 minutes of ride time,â&#x20AC;? Addison calculates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A 10-minute ride on a river wave equates to catching about 20 ocean waves, about a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of beach time. When one river ride equals a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of ocean time, a single month on the river is therefore equivalent to more than a year in the ocean. And,â&#x20AC;? he concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as any athlete knows, the more you practice, the better you get.â&#x20AC;?

Time is on the river surferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side in other ways as well. As

surfing << 37A

You must spend two hours at the beach to catch 60 seconds of surfing, while two hours at the river provides about 10 minutes of ride time.

CORRAN ADDISON

Monday is Columbus Day, but Seven Days keeps sailing along...

ALL our deadlines remain the same.

an ocean swell rolls in, the surfer must paddle towards shore to match its speed, then catch the wave, stabilize the board, balance, and move to a standing position before he or she can even begin to ride the wave. All this must be accomplished within a matter of seconds — a daunting proposition.

On a river, the process is much more relaxed. The surfer first floats downstream, then paddles upstream to slow down, matching the wave’s speed by backing onto it. Once the wave has been caught, the beginner has plenty of time to practice

stabilizing the board, move from prone to upright in comfortable stages, achieve balance and get comfortable with the wave action. The learner can practice surfing for as long as he or she likes, and is even able to choose when to dismount and end the ride.

“The learning curve is tremendous,” states Addison.

“You don’t need to be young or an athlete, but you need to be a decent swimmer and not be scared of the water or being thrown around.”

The predictable nature of river waves helps, too. Swells

coming from the deep ocean aren’t uniform, and a surfer must learn to “read” which ones will develop into desirable waves. And small changes in the angle of the swells’ approach alter a beach’s profile, differing the waves’ forms from season to season. In contrast, a river wave is stable: the volume of water remains fairly constant, the flow doesn’t change direction, and the river’s underwater topography is generally immutable.

That hard environment can be hazardous, however. Andreanne Dumas, who began river surfing in May, is nursing her

“I’ve seen a couple of guys come out bloodied,” adds Lavictoire.

The presence of rocks requires river boards to be tougher than their ocean-faring cousins. They’re made from either heavy fiberglass or fiberglass and carbon fiber, are shorter, and have heavier rails than the sleek, California-style boards seen in old 2 surfer movies. Stubby rear ends make it easier to back up onto the wave, and triple fins improve stability. Ankle leashes ensure the boards won’t float away down the river.

Is pollution a concern? “I try and keep my mouth shut,” quips Addison.

First staged in 1981, Beyond Therapy is STORY Christopher Durangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy about dating ELISABETH in the disco era, and it is a cultural artifact.

CREAN For modern audiences, the play is potentially weighed down by the playwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy Beyond reliance on now-obscure pop-culture referTherapy, ences, an antiquated understanding of human directed by sexuality, and characters engaged in jawPeter Jack dropping psychotherapeutic malpractice.

Yet the UVM Theatre Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curRoyall Tyler rent production is surprisingly fresh and Theatre, funny.

Despite some of the anachronistic Burlington, themes, it retains the edgy feel the play must October 6-9, 7:30 p.m. $17 have had a quarter-century ago. Credit goes ($5 UVM to the dynamic, all-student ensemble of students). actors for the comedic fizz and emotional kick in this cocktail of human dysfunction.

Director Peter Jack Tkatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s straightforward, uncluttered style allowed his performers to concentrate on creating quirks of behavior, not frenetic onstage action.

The young cast fashioned deep portrayals of shallow thirtysomethings from a generation before their time. They seemed to relish the opportunities to act up, and out, while managing to keep their damaged, disturbed characters plausible and sometimes even likable.

The play takes place in Manhattan, where Prudence and Bruce meet through the personal ads. Their dates take place in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;existentialâ&#x20AC;? restaurant, conducive to conversation because there is never any service, and are interspersed with scenes at their respective therapistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices. Prudence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; prim, uptight and conflicted between traditional and feminist desires â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is looking for Mr. Right.

Bruce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a weepy, slightly creepy but wellmeaning whack job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is looking for someone to marry, move to Connecticut with him, bear his children and welcome his gay lover Bob to live over their garage.

Needless to say, the first date is a disaster, and the second date occurs only because Bruce has altered his ad and Prudence thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to meet someone else. Strangely

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very strangely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they hit it off, even though Prudence declares herself a homophobe who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in bisexuality and thinks that men should cry only when something heavy falls on them. Bob also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in bisexuality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he thinks everyone is gay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he throws a queen-sized tantrum when Bruce brings Prudence home.

Although the doctors are clearly loonier than their patients, both therapists get involved in resolving the messy love triangle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not before everyone throws water in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces and faux gunshots are fired.

The good news about the gunplay: It finally gets a waiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention.

Prudence is at the center of the storm.

Mood-swinging Bruce wants to marry her moments after they meet; her oversexed but underperforming therapist Stuart wants to sleep with her (again); Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loopy shrink Mrs. Wallace wants to treat her; and Bob possibly wants to kill her.

Lizzie Chazen played Prudence brilliantly, as a tightly wound and mightily confused woman picking her way through minefields of misbehavior. Prudence doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what she wants, but she knows what she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want, and Chazen underscored her characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disapproving judgments with imperious scowls. But she also used body language â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hesitant steps, crossed arms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to convey her characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamental insecurity.

As the deliciously inappropriate Bruce, Christopher Cohen created an engaging, retroactive case study for the invention of Prozac. Bruce desperately needs his serotonin levels adjusted: He cries, blurts out unseemly non sequiturs, pledges undying love, and then cries again. Cohen contorted his face to make Bruce one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ugliest criers, and yet somehow made his character seem more endearing than psychotic. Cohen and Chazen created a rapport that made the improbable love connection eventually seem believable.

As the threatened and threatening Bob, Adam Yeager Gould stalked the stage with a rage that wavered between suicidal and homicidal. Gould was hilarious in his dead-serious take on the man-child in need of Anger Management 101. Gould and Cohen also demonstrated a credible love connection, but Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tender hugs and genuine concern fail

to stop Bob’s escalating tantrum.

So Bruce calls for help from his therapist, Charlotte Wallace, played with nutty gusto by Kate Emmerich. With a frizzy mop of red hair, Emmerich channeled Kathy Griffin as the happily befuddled doctor. Poor bloodsugar control means Mrs. Wallace has trouble with word-finding (saying “Saskatchewan” when she means “secretary,” or “porpoise” for “patient”) and epithet-spewing (unprintable), until she can stuff a cookie in her mouth. Mrs. Wallace gets some of the play’s best lines, especially the disjointed word-association lists.

While Emmerich’s diction and timing were generally strong, she sometimes failed to pause long enough for laughter to subside, and her jangly bracelets were a constant low-level distraction.

While Mrs. Wallace always wants the best for her patients, even if she can’t remember who they are, Dr. Stuart Framingham is a self-absorbed sexual predator.

The mercurial egomaniac justifies his “rushed” sexual performance to Prudence: “Listen, honey, there’s nothing premature about it. Our society is paced quickly, we all have a lot of things to do.” Tim Fairley captured the shrink’s oily mix of smarm and charm by lurking and smirking his way through his scenes. He looked like a preppie Tony Danza, but treated women with the potty-mouthed sensitivity of Howard Stern.

The show’s technical elements did not attempt to upstage the outlandish characters. Elegance and simplicity defined Jeff Modereger’s scenic design and Jessica Pescosolido’s costumes. With no curtain, set changes took place quickly under dimmed lights, accompanied by perky period dance tunes.

Polished wood-base units became tables and desks; the same set of leather armchairs furnished restaurant, office and living room sets.

Costumes often escape notice when the setting is relatively contemporary. But Pescosolido dressed her cast well, with late ’70s details, such as Bob’s nylon down vest, that felt familiar to those who lived through that period. Prudence’s two outfits were especially important in showing how her character changes. Initially, she wore a dark, conservative suit with a pink shirt and pearls. Later in the play, she loosened up considerably, sporting a clingy, plum-colored wrap dress (courtesy of Lycra, another signature innovation of the decade). She covered up with a matching tweed jacket, however, during moments when she felt unsure of herself.

As a late ’70s slice of life, Beyond Therapy is a reminder of how different American culture was not so long ago: casual sex, pre-AIDS; psychotherapy, preProzac; pop music, when disco briefly ruled. As theater, it’s a wacky farce that takes itself just seriously enough so that we feel traces of empathy and even affection for its neurotic losers and louts. Like the disco CD you play to get moving on the treadmill, Beyond Therapy is also a guilty pleasure, a self-indulgence that can’t help but make you smile. m

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, How much of all Internet traffic is pornography? I’m talking web pages, peer-to-peer transfers, and so on — the whole kit and caboodle. My friend claims that by far the majority of Internet traffic is porn. I’d say that while it makes up a large percentage, it’s probably less than half.

Who’s right?

Allen Gainsford, via email Not an easy question to answer. But that’s why people write to me. First, let’s dispense with the myth your buddy is flogging, that most online traffic is smut. This belief stems from a 1995 study published in the Georgetown Law Journal by Martin Rimm, a 30-ish electrical engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rimm and his colleagues studied X-rated images on the alt.binaries forums of Usenet. Apparent conclusion: 83.5 percent of what was out there was porn. Rimm, no fool, gave Time an advance peek at his article, and the magazine splashed the story on its cover with the war-type headline CYBERPORN. Livid critics went to town, pointing out so many flaws in Rimm’s work that Time printed a partial retraction. No need to rehash the arguments — they’re meaningless now. Usenet? Binaries? More important, U.S. “backbone” Internet traffic grew from 16 terabytes a month in 1994 to 80,000-140,000 terabytes a month in 2002. Even if Rimm’s claims were spot-on in 1995 (which they weren’t), today they wouldn’t mean squat.

So what percentage of Internet traffic is smut now?

No idea. Among the wild cards: Untrackable peer-topeer file sharing, made famous by Napster but equally suited to porn exchange.

Come now, you say. Even if we can’t put a number on it, surely we can get a handle on Internet smut volume. The closest thing the web has to a central registry is the databases amassed by search engines such as Google and Yahoo, which have cataloged billions of web

pages. A few nanoseconds of Googling and we’ll have a ballpark idea how much porn’s out there, right?

Sorta. The Internet traffic equation has two sides, supply and demand. Supply is easy to gauge. Google “sex” and we come up with 214 million pages — an impressive number, but as of September 20, 2005, Google had cataloged 8.2 billion pages. What’s more, we’re casting a wide net — “sex” takes in pages about sex discrimination and other sober subjects. Better to pick the keywords pornmongers use to advertise their wares. “Porn” (duh) summons 35 million pages, “XXX” 32 million — numbers so close you can’t help but think we’ve hit pay dirt. Conclusion: Four-tenths of one percent of searchable web pages consist of hard-core porn.

But that’s just what’s for sale. How many are buying?

To get an idea we need to know the most popular search terms used by web surfers. That’s not as easy as it sounds. While many search engine sites publish “hot search” lists, most such collections have been pruned of potentially offensive terms. Lycos, for instance, claims that the most popular search term of the past 10 years is “Pamela Anderson.” Get outta here. Nosing about, we discovered a list of the top 20 search terms as of 19992001 compiled by the web research firm Alexa. The number one term, “sex,” was used in 0.3 percent of searches, or one in 300. Number four was “porn,” number 13 was “nudes,” number 15 was “XXX,” and number 19 was Playboy.

That’s more like it. But in Internet terms, 2001 is the equivalent of the French and Indian War. What about now? Since nobody’s volunteering, I’ve taken matters into my own hands. Overture, a Yahoo subsidiary, has a search tool that tells how many times a given word or phrase was requested in the previous month, in this case August 2005. (To be precise, Overture lists the 100 most frequent search requests in which the term appears.) Plugging in the terms on the Alexa list plus all the other likely candidates I could think of, I came up with the following big — I’m not saying top — 10: (1) music, 39 million; (2) Google, 37 million; (3) Yahoo, 35 million; (4) travel, 33 million; (5) free, 29 million (includes “free porn” and “free sex” plus many innocuous variants); (6) sex, 26 million (includes “teen sex,” “cyber sex,” etc.); (7) games, 24 million; (8) Internet, 19 million (actually, the lead term in this category is “Internet Explorer”); (9) eBay, 17 million; (10) download, 16 million.

Discounting “Google,” “Yahoo,” “Internet” and “download” as mere means to an end and “free” as too diffuse, we find that the principal destinations on the web are music, travel, sex, games and eBay. Proof of porn’s preeminence? My arse. If we consider “eBay” a stand-in for “treasured possessions” and chalk up the absence of “food” to the inability, so far, to digitize taste and smell, I’d say we’ve got an unremarkable list of life’s little pleasures, whether online or off.

<music> HOT AIR :: The prickly rhymes of MC Slug form the core of self-confessional hip-hop sensations

Atmosphere.

Slug’s obsession with an ex-girlfriend carried the group through several recordings, and his edgy antipathy has made them heroes among disaffected suburban kids.

With balls-out braggadocio and inventively trashy beats, Atmosphere have clawed their way to the top of the “emo-hop” heap.

Hear them this Tuesday at the Higher Ground Ballroom with Blueprint & DJ Rare Groove and P.O.S. & Nemesis.

GET INTO THE GROOVE

OK CORRAL

Attention, area techno-heads: On October 9 at Club Metronome, Sunday Night Mass will present a set from internationally acclaimed DJ, vocalist and producer MĂŠa.

The electronic-oriented DMA Magazine has called the up-and-coming turntablist â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Madonna of the New Millenniumâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a bold statement, indeed. MĂŠa has already taken the West Coast club scene by storm with crowd-pleasing sets ranging from progressive house to intelligent breakbeat. Her live, freestyle vocals set her apart from her peers, as does her considerable pulchritude.

MĂŠa grew up in a musical household, where she had early training in piano, violin, guitar, drums and dance, all of which inform her DJ work. Despite such auspicious beginnings, she struggled to be taken seriously in a culture that unfairly favors male talent. Now her dedication is starting to pay off: MĂŠa packs the house at her own gigs, and regularly performs alongside superstars such as Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten and the Stanton Warriors.

I recently had a listen to some of her stuff and can see where the Madonna comparisons are coming from. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a huge pop influence in her work, with hints of old-school electro. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly my thing, her energy and enthusiasm are perfectly apparent. Chances are her work is even more powerful in person, so if you like your dance music with a spoonful of sugar, check it out. Point your browser to http://www.meamusic. com if you want to hear a selection of audio samples in advance.

Last week, I finally got to hear Monoprix, a fine new three-piece featuring Chrome Cowboy front man Brett Hughes, Cush drummer Steve Hadeka and Tyler Bolles, late of the Middle Eight. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set of mostly original music at Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1/2 Lounge last Tuesday proved that Hughes has more to offer than cocky covers.

The trio presents a somewhat skewed take on classic country themes. Spooky murder ballads and tales of romantic vengeance comprise the majority of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tunes, with Hughes playing the dual role of wronged lover and detached storyteller. True to form, Bolles provided fantastic support on upright bass, while Hadeka took a subdued turn behind the kit.

Without axeslinging co-Cowboy Bill Mullins at his side, Hughes was forced to fill the empty spaces with his own six-string commentary. In addition to his easygoing vocal style, Hughes possesses a natural lyricism on the instrument. A slightly dirty tone and judicious use of tremolo served him well on nearly every tune. It wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nice to hear more vocal harmonies, however.

The somewhat sparse crowd was extremely attentive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those in attendance were positively swooning for Monoprixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tombstone twang. By the time the group finished its set with a Western-tinged cover of John Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jealous Guy,â&#x20AC;? I, too, was satisfied. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; young charges can cajole him into recording these gems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they might not be as boogie-friendly as his usual fare, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly goosebump-worthy.

mixed-media efforts, Brent Guralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital collages, and photographs

by William Pierce.

Three acoustic performances, courtesy of singer-songwriters Kenna Donovan, Ben Macintyre and Dan Olbrych, provide a live soundtrack. Macintyre and Olbrych have logged time with rockers Stealing From Thieves. Donovan is a student at the University of Vermont, and is currently with that group, having more or less filled the guitarist-vocalist spot left open by Macintyre. The Second Floorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18+ shebang kicks off at 5 p.m., so swing by and help support artistic inspiration in the Green Mountains.

SOUND & VISION Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electro-acoustic show at Box was very well attended, if a tad puzzling. Seems that even the most avant-garde-inclined were somewhat confused as to what exactly they were hearing. While I was down with the performance, watching the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s befuddlement was nearly as much fun as the show. Ever see a room full of hipsters contemplating the sound of silence? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty amusing. To be fair, there were occasional pops, cracks and static in the mix, augmented by street traffic and shuffling feet.

Well, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into experimental jams but prefer a little more action, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to check out the next Box show on Sunday, October 9, which features Anna Oxygen, Jona Bechtolt and Khaela Maricich.

Oxygen (whose last name is actually Huff) is a Portland, Oregonbased multimedia artist and musician. Her dance-pop recitals and â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantasy-science performance piecesâ&#x20AC;? incorporate folk guitar, electro and operatic vocals into an oddball mix of sonic adventurism. One of her tunes is about a calorie searching for the end of the rainbow, while another features a synesthesiac gal named Pretty Psychedelic who hallucinates colors. Wow. Sounds like a Skittles commercial on acid! Her next record, This Is an Exercise, will be released by famed indie label Kill Rock Stars in February.

In addition to playing a mean drum kit, sound, video and percussive whiz Jona Bechtolt of Yacht creates â&#x20AC;&#x153;textural dance-basedâ&#x20AC;? laptop compositions. He recently was commissioned by the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art to craft a full-length pop opera. Hmm, like Grease? As a percussionist, Bechtolt definitely gets around â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he recently completed a European tour backing scruffy freak-folk icon Devendra Banhart, who seems to be everywhere these days. See http://www.teamyacht.com for Bechtoltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video updates and ephemera.

Musical visionary and video craftswoman Khaela Maricichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s act straddles the line between pop and performance art. Her monologue-based solo opera â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Sky Versus Night Skyâ&#x20AC;? has been performed around the globe, while her band, The Blow, is known for dance-party sets designed to make you move. Her blog at http://www.thetouchmefeeling.com recounts more artistic adventures.

No need to bring a book to this one, kids. In fact, you might want to break out the glitter and headbands; this might turn out to be Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer to Flashdance. The show kicks off at 9 p.m. at Box HQ, 7 Marble Ave. Admission is $5.

HORNS OF PLENTY What do you get when you throw four uniquely talented jazz trombonists together? Probably something a lot like the Jazz Bones of Vermont, a new group comprising brass bosses Dan Silverman, Rick Davies, Tony Wheden and George Voland. Rounding out the lineup is keyboardist Tom Cleary, bassist Clyde Stats and percussionist Todd Watkins. These seven players are all active participants in the Green Mountain jazz scene, and bring a great deal of energy and experience to the table.

The group will perform both originals and covers in their debut concert on Thursday, October 6, in Champlain Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hauke Center.

Expect everything from spicy salsa to bebop and even free-jazz styles. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take my word for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bamboozled by our grizzled appearance,â&#x20AC;? Silverman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very hot players and powerful men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as most trombonists are.â&#x20AC;? Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue with that. The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Though the concert is free, donations are welcomed.

reviewthis PARANOID SOCIAL CLUB, PARANOID SOCIAL CLUB

CHUCH, FOUR TALL (Crow On Ten, CD)

(On Entertainment, CD) For their first label-backed offering, Portland, Maine-based Paranoid Social Club cull songs from their 2002 and 2004 independent releases. While light on new material, the self-titled disc boasts 13 tunes that ably demonstrate what they stand for: good times and great music.

PSC feature the talents of guitarist/vocalist Dave Gutter, bassist/keyboardist Jon Roods and drummer/sample maestro Marc Boisvert. The group builds its songs around a hard-rock framework, but funky bass lines, soulful lyrics and a hip-hop back beat create a cross-genre appeal. This musical eclecticism has garnered the band five awards in this year’s Portland Phoenix music poll, including a Best Male Vocalist for Gutter, as well as Best Act. Their debut for the On Entertainment label is full of the party anthems that have won them such accolades. Opening track “Cable Hookup” tells the story of a guy who is down with cohabitation — if only for his girlfriend’s audio/video setup. With its intermittent hip-hop loop and twinkling piano, the song paints a fine example of the group’s quirky, but ultimately rock-solid, sound. “Theme Song” is a bass-heavy track that reads as a letter of intent from the band to their fans. “I know you want to trust again / But sometimes you just get too scared / At the Paranoid Social Club we’ll all fit in,” they sing invitingly.

Radio-ready hits such as “Wasted” and “Two Girls” beg to be blasted from frat-house windows, while the mellower “Music Man” speaks to overzealous female audience members. Lines such as “Front row girl / You’re cute as can be / You’ve got to understand that there’s no you and me” make the band’s groupie policies clear.

All three members of PSC began their musical careers as drummers. This shared percussive background gives each track a solid rhythmic foundation and helps provide direction. Boisvert’s use of obscure samples and sound effects adds depth to the arrangements. Roods often multitasks in live performance, playing bass and keyboards simultaneously.

The band’s music is refreshingly unpretentious, maintaining an earnest realism that never sounds forced.

In an era when emotionally charged ballads about love and loss rule the airwaves, PSC remind us that rock music can also be about just having fun.

Hear for yourself when they rock the the Pickle Barrel Nightclub in Killington on Friday, October 7.

Burlington’s ballsy “truck-stop rockers” Chuch are making a name for themselves with highoctane, country-tinged tunes that detonate on impact. Boasting 17 screechin’ and squealin’ cuts, the band’s latest, Four Tall, is the audio equivalent of skidmarks on blacktop.

Following a brief bluesy intro, the record blasts into high gear with the smokin’ “Satan’s Chariot.” The tune features the wild pedal-steel stylings of Matt Hayes, who attacks the instrument with diesel fury. The following track, “Shiffy Man,” contains drug references that I can’t quite figure out, but I sure am curious. With creepy vocal melodies and Skynyrd-gone-gothic breakdown, it ain’t your average country-rock anthem. Suffice it to say, the song probably won’t garner airplay on WOKO anytime soon.

“Easy Things” cranks along with a wicked shuffle, augmented by edgy pickin’ and sonorous pedal-steel lines. The surprisingly sweet vocal harmonies occupy some parched space between Ween and the Flying Burrito Brothers. “Bloodshot & Tired” takes a similar tack, albeit with red-eyed, vitriolic vocals. “Yes, I might need to cross that yellow line/but that’s for me to decide,” its ornery protagonist states. I wouldn’t want to be following this dude’s 18-wheeler on a deserted highway.

The raging instrumental “Dolphin Head” is what Led Zeppelin might sound like if they were rodeo wranglers instead of billionaire Brits. “Gene’s Greasy Boots” showcases the powerhouse drumming of Justin Crowther, whose maniacal fills are nicely augmented by his brother Noah’s rugged bass lines. You can add these two to the list of deadly sibling rhythm sections. Guitarist/vocalist Chad Hammaker turns in stinging leads throughout the album, with a style somewhere between Western bluesman Jimmie Vaughn and psychedelic sludge bands such as Blue Cheer. A bruising combination, for certain.

One of my only complaints about Four Tall is the somewhat brittle production. The vocals, drums and bass are warm enough, but the guitars are often too trebly. While the recording attempts to capture the band’s straight-ahead live sound, sonic sweeteners such as panning, strategic EQ or even reverb would go a long way.

Despite these minor issues, the disc is terrific. It’s a banner season for Vermont music, and Chuch are one of the most interesting acts currently working the clubs. Be sure to catch their CD release party with The Fandanglers on Saturday, 9/27/05 October 8, at12:50 Nectar’s.PM Page 1 modq-saconcert092805

ARTWORK “Among Trees”

by Arleen Targan

PHOTO Marc Awodey

irginia McNeice and Arleen Targan share a love of the bucolic. Their vibrant show of paintings at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne consists primarily of expressive landscapes, and a few still lifes by Vermonter Targan. She also produced nearly all the show’s oils, while New York State artist McNeice contributed the pastels.

A passage from Henry David Thoreau’s 1864 book The Maine Woods could easily describe McNeice’s pastel of the same title — and, for that matter, several other pieces in the show. Thoreau wrote, “The vision I have in my mind’s eye, still, is of the small, dark, and sharp tops of tall fir and spruce trees, and pagoda-like arbor-vitæs, crowded together on each side, with various hard woods, intermixed.” McNeice’s pastel has the same elements, but with more color, including a forest floor blanketed with rawsienna pine needles.

McNeice is a solid pastel practitioner, as her work “Blue Morning” illustrates. The piece has a variety of visual textures. Foreground grass is scruffy, with lighter hues layered over deeper, dark ones. A hulking English barn at right is described with diagonal strokes. The sky is a pale yellowish-white.

McNeice’s only oil painting in the show is “The High Road,” a 30-inchsquare vista that portrays a misty hilltop; a section of rural road can be seen over the meadow and beneath the hill’s crest. The work has a moodiness similar to that of “Blue Morning.”

While McNeice favors realism, Targan seems more attuned to abstraction, and her paintings feel expansive regardless of scale. In “Crab Apple,” two fiery mauve fruit trees brighten an ethereal landscape of rolling hills. The structure referred to in “House Among the Trees” is nearly invisible, buried in a welter of feathery brushwork. Three clumps of trees march across the horizontal composition, dividing foreground greens and yellows from background blues and lavender.

Targan’s “Among Trees” is even more abstract. Its subjects seem to melt into the surrounding space, almost completely losing their representational aspect.

A show consisting entirely of Targan’s still lifes would be just as strong as her present tandem exhibition with McNeice. Like her landscapes, Targan’s still lifes are only barely representational; she seems to use the genre as simply a means to an

end. Subject matter often has little to do with the actual creation of a painting. The formal qualities of color, form and composition are what matter. Still lifes provide those elements with a context.

Targan’s “Still Life with Swiss Chard” and “Still Life with Cauliflower” are similarly composed canvasses with vertical and horizontal axes near the center of each.

Circular garden vegetables are placed around a clear vase with water that holds linear elements — standing vegetables. Targan’s colors are perfectly keyed to each other, with light blues, purples and complementary yellows and red-orange. Her brushwork ranges from slashing to buttery in both paintings.

This is not the first time McNeice and Targan have shared a venue.

The two artists collaborated on an 8by-8-foot landscape for the Agricultural Steward Association — a nonprofit that protects farmland — in Washington County, New York. Their mural helped the ASA draw crowds to the county fair. If it was as bright and well executed as the works in the Furchgott Sourdiffe show, the mural surely was a main attraction. m

Grizzly Man HHHH

T ANIMAL ACT Herzog offers the strange story of a failed performer turned selfstyled preservationist.

imothy Treadwell was a blonde, good-looking California boy who surfed, partied, worked as a waiter and wanted to be a famous actor before he was killed by a grizzly bear in 2003. In a scene in Werner Herzog’s new documentary about his ursine adventures, Treadwell’s parents explain that their son at one point auditioned for “Cheers” and came in second to Woody Harrelson for the goofball bartender role. Following the disappointment, Treadwell spiraled into heavy drug and alcohol use and depression.

What the director, the parents and the subject of Grizzly Man himself never quite get around to explaining is what prompted Treadwell to pick up the pieces and reinvent himself as a wildlife preservationist living among grizzlies in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve. This is surprising not only because it was such an unusual response to an entertainment career setback, but because Herzog had access to nearly 100 hours of footage recorded by Treadwell over the last five years of his life, and apparently there were few things Treadwell liked to talk about more than himself.

What we do learn is that his reinvention initially included changing his last name (from Dexter), adopting an Australian accent, and fabricating a Crocodile Dundee-type backstory to establish his cred as an outdoorsman. It doesn’t seem a stretch to suggest that the movies may have played a significant role in his reimagining of himself and his life’s purpose. The new role he assigned himself bore a striking similarity to that of Jane Goodall, portrayed in countless documentaries, and of Dian Fossey, who died trying to protect apes from poachers — she was played by Sigourney Weaver in Gorillas in the Mist.

By the time we catch up with Treadwell at the beginning of Herzog’s film, he has dropped the phony accent, started to bring video cameras along on his expeditions, and has established himself over the course of several summers as a presence tolerated by a particular group of bears. Herzog cuts between his subject’s footage and interviews with people who knew him, or knew of what he was doing.

It seems clear that Treadwell’s plan was to produce a documentary chronicling his heroic efforts to save the bears.

Friends remember him as dedicated, selfless and energetic.

Critics suggest that he crossed a time-honored line separating the world of man from that of the grizzlies — a line that existed for a very good reason. Authorities also point out that the poaching problem Treadwell had devoted himself to fighting was pretty much a figment of his imagination.

As entertaining and charismatic a figure as Treadwell can be in the video he shot, one can’t help but detect a hint of the manic, and messianic, about him. Again and again, he declares with feverish passion his determination to see his bears through their yearly migration. “I will die for these bears,” he exclaims dramatically, though no human threat to them ever materializes. “If I don’t come back,” he would tell a close friend at the start of each year’s trip, “that’s the way I want it.

I’m happy.”

Over and over, Treadwell congratulates himself on the success of his “work” once the bears arrive at their winter dens. “I did it,” he celebrates. “I got them here safely.” In the film’s 103 minutes, I don’t believe there’s a single frame showing Treadwell actually assisting the animals in any way — unless you count the bizarre scene in which he orders God to make it rain. They would have made the same trip whether or not he’d been scurrying around the periphery with his camera doing his Grizzly Adams-meets-Mother Theresa schtick. They live on a federal reserve, for Pete’s sake.

Herzog takes from Treadwell’s bloody martyrdom the bleak lesson that the world is driven by forces of chaos, indifference and death; that it is a strictly dog-eat-dog affair. Not the man-tainted utopia in which his subject sentimentalized that it is possible to achieve oneness with all of God’s creatures. There is a third interpretation, though, and I believe it offers the twisted truth at the heart of Grizzly Man. Timothy Treadwell was a phony and a poser to the end. He claimed on film to live all alone in the dangerous wilderness with his giant bears, but that was not the truth. Herzog shows he brought girlfriends along and was careful to keep them out of the camera’s line of sight.

Driven by his American craving for fame, Treadwell was eager to risk his life — and stage his death? — figuring his story would make headlines whichever way it ended, with him as the beasts’ protector or their victim. In the first seconds of the attack, he made a point to turn on his camera.

He didn’t have the right to risk Amie Huguenard’s life, however. She was terrified by the bears, and God knows what Treadwell must have said to convince her she’d be safe with him if she came along. As you watch this riveting record of delusion in disguise and catch yourself finding its star charming, stop for a moment and remember that was the charm Huguenard succumbed to before she succumbed to fangs and claws. m

SEVEN DAYS

EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Babes, Books and Backcountry Variety’s recent announcement that Disney is planning a Bridge to Terabitha film was news to the 1977 book’s author. But Katherine Paterson of Barre is philosophical.

“It’s been bouncing around for a long time,” she says of her award-winning novel about the fanciful friendship of two children, which became a 1985 movie on PBS. Terabitha has frequently been among the top 10 banned books because, according to Paterson, the young male protagonist often says “Lord” and his father says “hell.”

Christian fundamentalists have also objected to what they see as a New Age sensibility. “It managed to get back on the [censorship] list last year,” she points out. “For a while, Harry Potter was filling all the slots.”

Although her book is set in Virginia and Paterson has no idea where the big-screen version will be shot, she wouldn’t mind if it turned out to be New Zealand. “I’ve been there four times and I’m happy to help their economy,” she says. “But I’m also always happy to help the Vermont economy.”

Last March two University of Vermont graduates launched a business to make movies about their favorite sport. “Our Meathead Films is the only company in the East that focuses on backcountry skiing,” explains photographer and marketing guru Christopher James, 24. This

week he and partner Geoff McDonald, a 23-year-old director and editor, will premiere their Burlington operation’s latest efforts.

Born From Ice, which James calls “a light-hearted, goofy highlight reel” of action on the slopes, will unspool October 7 at UVM and October 8 at Middlebury College. Epoch, a more traditional documentary that features archival footage and follows seven friends skiing the region’s highest peaks, is booked at UVM on October 9. See Seven Days Calendar for details.

“We shoot each winter, edit over the summer and tour in the fall,” James says. “This month and next, we’re making 45 stops in college towns from Maine to Maryland.

Then, after Thanksgiving, we go out to ski resorts — including in Québec and Ontario. We’re riding a wave right now.”

When Jonathan (Elijah Wood) visits the Ukraine to trace his grandfather’s roots in Everything is Illuminated, the young man unwittingly explores a profound but hidden chapter of the Holocaust. Adapted by

director Liev Schreiber from Jonathan Safran Foer’s quasi-autobiographical novel with the same title, this quirky, lovely film opens Friday, October 14 at the Roxy in Burlington.

Jonathan is an impassive guy who collects memorabilia to understand the nature of his secretive family and, by extension, his own identity. The journey puts him under the aegis of an outlandish tour guide named Alex (New York musician Eugene Hutz, a Ukrainian refugee who initially resettled in Burlington). Even though his own view is that “the past is past,” he takes American Jews out in a battered Trabant car with a logo depicting the Star of David to search for information about their ancestors in the former Soviet republic. The driver, Alex’s sullen grandfather (Boris Leskin), insists on bringing along the ill-tempered dog he calls Sammy Davis Jr., Jr. As their trip unmasks the country’s collective memory of anti-Semitism, Jonathan finds much more than he ever anticipated. For Alex, a delightful character with joie de vivre and a tentative grasp of English, it’s a life-altering revelation. m

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

In Québec you hear “EH” (rhymes with “Hey”) a lot, eh?

The eccentric lady’s BEQUEST went to her cat and parrot.

Much is uncovered on the sunny SEASIDES of Brazil.

It sounds weird when someone says, “Are you DECENT?” Since they’re nocturnal, beavers don’t seem all that EAGER. If getting up is an EFFORT, you might want to look into Prozac.

As a rule, kids named JESUS don’t end up as Messiahs.

The Donald rated his dates A-CHICKS, B-chicks and C-chicks.

Saying “The EIFFEL Tower is an EYEFUL” will invoke groans.

As an ex-jailbird, Martha seems more perky than JADED. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HEARING. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Nothing is out of order.

ust as the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to consider Anna Nicole Smith’s appeal, the blonde celebrity was in Vermont last week wrapping up a movie. In Illegal Aliens, a sci-fi spoof directed by David Giancola, she portrays a supermodel from outer space fighting sinister, otherworldly forces on Earth.

“Anna Nicole is very funny playing a ditz,” Giancola says. “She’s a Method actress.”

Be that as it may, Smith will appear as herself — a former Playboy Playmate who at age 26 married an octogenarian Texas oil tycoon — in front of the Supremes. In a prolonged legal battle with her step-son, she is seeking $88.6 million from her late husband’s estate.

Giancola hopes Smith’s case can translate into good publicity for the film. “I suspect we’ll have no trouble getting distribution as a major theatrical release,” he suggests, adding that his goal is to precede the widow’s early 2006 court date.

Timing is everything. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Hallmark Channel postponed last month’s scheduled broadcast of Landslide, another project from Giancola’s Rutland-based Edgewood Studios. “There’s no flood, but the movie has a kind of refugee situation following a catastrophe,” he notes. “I agree with Hallmark’s decision. We don’t want to contribute to people’s pain.”

Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until the apples are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and stir to melt. Remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, baking powder, flour, and whisk just until blended, being careful not to overmix. Pour the batter over the apples.

Bake until golden and puffed, 15 to 20 minutes. Maple syrup on top? YES!

FRIDAY 07

HERITAGE FOUNDATION Yunnan province in southwestern China stretches from Tibet to Vietnam, and rises from riverside deltas to the Himalayan foothills. In addition to being geographically diverse, it’s home to half of China’s ethnic minorities.

Twenty performers from four of these groups — the Yi, the Wa, the Naxi and the Dai — come to the Flynn as part of a dramatic dance and music tour showcasing traditional arts now threatened by tourism and speedy economic development. Burlington’s Tibetan community participates in a downtown fair and film festival the following day. There, the culturally curious can get an up-close look at the performers’ instruments, elaborately embroidered costumes, and what may be the world’s only surviving pictographic language.

‘YUNNAN REVEALED’ Friday, October 7, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $24-30. Info, 863-5966. http://www.flynncenter.org/show_pages/ FLW6Y.aspx

scene@BACHELOR AUCTION

PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

VFW POST 782, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 8:00 P.M. The VFW banquette room reminded me of my senior prom, except everyone was old enough to drink beer at the bar and not sneak it in the back parking lot. Balloons were tied in the corners and the tables were scattered with little gold party favors.

The crowd of mostly women, with a few supportive husbands, had come to raise funds for the Vermont Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. With the $10 cover charge, silent auction items donated by Vermont businesses and a chance to buy a date with one of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest singletons up for auction, this fundraiser looked like a sure success.

I snagged a seat close to the stage and looked over the program. Listed under the heading â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Specialsâ&#x20AC;? were the 13 bachelorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names, careers and hook lines. One of the celebrity bachelors, Russell Humphrey, a lineman for the Vermont Ice Storm and self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexy cowboy,â&#x20AC;? was unmistakable. Wearing his football jersey, black denim jeans and cowboy boots, Humphrey danced with a woman who barely reached his belly button. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitarist asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I bet, can I make him wash my car?â&#x20AC;?

One of the bachelors introduced himself to me. Checking his name on the sheet, I discovered that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;A motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream and asparagus lover.â&#x20AC;?

Shortly before the betting began, a man in a baseball hat and suit jacket introduced himself as Chris and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be â&#x20AC;&#x153;selling the boys.â&#x20AC;? He showed me what he called his auctioneer cane. It looked more like a pimp cane to me.

Close to 9:30, everyone grabbed their cocktails and sat down, pocket books ready. The bets quickly reached the $100 mark. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the crowd to start shouting to see some skin, and almost as quickly the bachelorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shirts began flying into the eager ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outstretched hands. As soon as the guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chests were bared, the bets jumped another $50. Although all the bachelors played their part in raising some serious money, the Sears underwear model got the most respectable bet of the evening. He went for just under $300. And all he took off was his jacket.

PLAYING CATCH

Sportswriter David Zirin doesn’t worry about blending pop-flies with politics — as far as he’s concerned, they’re already interconnected. His book, What’s My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States, delves into the socio-political side of sports history, analyzing everything from Muhammad Ali’s anti-draft position to Janet Jackson’s Superbowl bra snafu. It’s a sharp critique of modern-day athletics and the corporate culture they reflect.

Zirin visits UVM, accompanied by the darkly political stylings of Son of Nun (pictured), a Baltimore-based high school teacher, poet and hip-hop activist with a head-turning, musicbased antiwar message. Between them, the two score a touchdown for progressive politics.

PEOPLE POWER

Founded by UVM English prof Leon Dean in 1948, the Green Mountain Folklore Society exists to swap and chronicle old-time stories, ceremonies, customs, remedies, proverbs, weather signs, mnemonic verses, and folk songs and ballads. Pretty much every aspect of rural Vermont life is fair game, including fiction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered good taste for an author to acknowledge when something has been made up. According to society vice president Ina Isham, one recent fascination has been chronicling memories of everyday tools people used before electricity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as a weighted pole to help draw up a wellfilled bucket. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dip into this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting in person? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the twiceyearly get-togethers are all recorded and archived at the UVM library.

GREEN MOUNTAIN FOLKLORE SOCIETY Saturday, October 8, Hinesburg United Church, Hinesburg Village, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Free, lunch available for $10. Reservations and info, 879-1925. http://www.vtonly.com/loreaug1.htm

SPIN ART

The best leaf peeping happens outside the confines of a car. This weekend, Barre’s community nonprofit Studio Place Arts organizes a unique, foot-powered fundraiser that combines exercise, fall foliage and creative show-and-tell. Pledge-gathering pedal pushers choose one of four routes — 30, 46, 60 or 100 miles long — to bike through the scenery, stopping at artists’ studios along the way. Featured creators include ceramicists Jeanne Bisson & Ikuji Teraki, blacksmith Steve Bronstein, paper-maker Richard Langell and landscape painter Janet MacLeod. The self-guided tour takes most of the day, with studio stops remaining open long enough to let cyclists set their own pace. A post-ride barbecue and prizes at Barre’s Sean & Nora’s restaurant caps the event.

RIDE FOR ART Saturday, October 8, all routes begin and end at Studio Place Arts, Barre, departure times vary by route 8 a.m. - 10 a.m., dinner 5:30-7 p.m. $45 includes dinner and T-shirt. Registration and info, 479-7069. http://www.studioplacearts.com

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

OCTOBER 06-12

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): I’m afraid I had to name you “Underachiever of the Month” for September, Aries. You didn’t quite succeed at wrestling your frustrations into submission, though you had the power to do so. You also failed to cash in on much of the great potential you had for smashing injustice, exposing fakery, and toppling the rotting status quo. That’s the bad news. The good news is that some of your missed opportunities will become available again in the coming week. Make up for lost time, please.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I predict that in 2013, the United Nations will designate a 52,000-square-mile area in Canada’s far north to be the world’s dumping ground. By then global warming will have melted much of the ice that currently makes it problematical to access that area by sea, allowing a steady stream of ships to deliver loads of garbage from every country on the planet. I’m not saying this is a good thing; I’m just reporting the facts as I foresee them. But I’d also like to propose that you use this idea as a metaphor in dealing with your own psychic waste. What if you had a certain place and a regular time where you could ritually dispose of it?

Let’s say you’d go to there every Saturday at 10 a.m. After a short meditation, you’d take out a piece of paper, scribble down everything that’s making you sick and crazy, then burn it or bury it or rip it to shreds. Try it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): If you’ve ever dreamed of being a Flamenco dancer or lion trainer or midwife when you grow up, now’s a perfect time to make a big push in that direction.

The astrological omens suggest the universe is more favorably inclined toward your wilder fantasies than it has been in a long time. At the very least, Gemini, revisit thrilling schemes that at some time in the past you dismissed as impossible. They may not be quite so absurd anymore.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I predict that in the future, palm-size “emotional control” machines will be available. With a flick of a

switch, people suffering from unwanted feelings will use the device to beam an electromagnetic pulse at their brains, erasing the offending emotion and arousing a sense of well-being.

Unfortunately, I don’t foresee this new technology being ready until 2020. Fortunately, you can teach yourself how to do the same trick using only your own willpower. And it so happens that you’re currently in a phase when you can go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My friend Gail told me about her harrowing journey on a purple bus through small towns in Guatemala. “We needed three drivers,” she said. “One to handle the steering wheel, one to constantly wipe off the windshield when it rained, and one to lean out the door and yell at pedestrians to get out of the way.” This reminds me of the challenge you have ahead of you, Leo. A single guide won’t be enough as you wend your way through serpentine but scenic complications. Nor will one cook or one planner or one choreographer. To succeed, you’ve got to have multiple directors who are skilled at coordinating their efforts. Keep control freaks out of the loop.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his “MuseLetter,” Richard Heinberg writes that Jesus “taught renunciation of ephemeral desires, fearless and carefree public behavior, and contempt for riches.” This happens to be a precise prescription for those of you who hope to put yourself in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms in the coming week. I suggest you suspend your pursuit of the relatively trivial goals that soak up an inordinate amount of your attention, and instead intensify your devotion to your single most important reason for living. This should help you lose your unnecessary inhibitions. It should also free you from any delusions you might have that greed is normal or that you need more than enough of anything.

BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Many people who live in countries steeped in the JudeoChristian tradition look down on voodoo, considering it a mishmash of superstition and sorcery.

But in her book Vodou Visions, Sallie Ann Glassman argues that Vodou (the preferred spelling among its practitioners) is an authentic religious tradition worthy of respect. She does acknowledge that some of its beliefs may seem odd to polite society. For instance, Vodou’s calm, gentle, sweet spirits are not always forces for good, while some of its hot, turbulent, revolutionary spirits are not necessarily bad. Be open to the possibility that there’ll be similar principles at work in your life in the coming week, Libra — whether or not you have any connection to Vodou.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I went to first grade in a working-class town in Michigan.

One day while walking home from school, I encountered three third-grade bullies. They dragged me into an alley, where two of them held my arms while the other belted me once in the abdomen. “Why?” I cried. No one answered. The puncher sneered and got ready to deliver another smack. Just then a woman’s voice called out. She was hanging wet laundry on a clothesline in her backyard nearby. “You stop that nonsense right now!” she exclaimed, and ran toward us. The boys fled. She took me into her house, fed me a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, and called my mother. I was a little shaky yet ecstatic, feeling I had proof that angels were always watching over me. This story is an apt metaphor for your experience in the coming week, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For many people, physical appearance is the most important consideration in their search for a mate. Social status is often a decisive factor as well, as well as religious and political compatibility. In contrast, here’s what evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller told The New York Times when asked why he chose the wife he did: “Because she was very witty and funny and a woman I thought I could learn a lot from. You

look for somebody you feel you could talk to for years without getting bored.” I recommend that you adopt Miller’s criteria for selecting your next three new allies, Sagittarius. It’s time to refine your approach to creating your network.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his poem “Jerusalem, Easter,” Stanley Moss writes, “On this bright Easter morning / smelling of Arab bread, / what if God simply changed his mind / and called out into the city, / ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ and, like an angry father, ‘I will not say it another time!’ / They are praying too much in Jerusalem . . .” With this as your inspiration, Capricorn, I’d like you to meditate on two themes: 1) What crucial message do you keep getting from God or life but continue to ignore?

2) Is there a certain ideal you say you believe in but sometimes neglect to carry out in your dayto-day encounters?

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This would be an excellent time to escape every boring routine that is sapping your life energy. And when I say, “escape,” I’m hoping you don’t settle for a trip to a Wal-Mart in a city 50 miles away. The more dramatic and complete your break with habit, the better. Would you consider exploring the Outback of Australia on the back of a camel?

Or how about rafting down Tibet’s “River of Golden Sand,” or reconnoitering Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Africa’s most beautiful oasis?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): By comparing your biorhythms with those of hundreds of celebrities, Celebmatch.com analyzes which of those glamorous people you’d be most compatible with. I was surprised to find that I would get along extremely well with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, tennis star Venus Williams and Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage.

I suggest you find out the luminaries who would be your best matches, Pisces. According to the astrological omens, it’s prime time to bring a playful stimulus or two to your romantic fantasy life.

Dear Lola, I have been dating “Cindy” for a couple of years now, and we love each other and get along fine. My problem is my case of depression. I have had it for many years, and I think it’s the result of seeing pornography and being abused when I was little, around 6 or 7 years old. Cindy knows about me being depressed, but not that I constantly fantasize about committing horrific sex crimes with little girls. Cindy will look at me with my sad expression and ask me, “What’s wrong?” and I will tell her some false reason. I am afraid that if I tell her about my fantasies she will leave me. What should I do?

Depressed in Downingville Dear Depressed, You need to be talking to someone about what’s going on with you, but not Cindy — at least, not for now. A professional therapist can help you deal with what happened to you when you were young. How much of that you end up sharing with Cindy will ultimately be your decision. For now, she should be glad to know that you’re working on overcoming your depression. Good luck!

Love, Lola

Buddy & Onyx Are you looking for double the pleasure and double the fun? If so, we are just the handsome pair of Lab mixes you should meet. We are looking for an instant family. We are 6 and 5 years old respectively. We are big guys who are playful, rambunctious, affectionate, talkative, mellow, social, attentive, and gentle. We are looking for a home and hearts big enough for us both. We can be a little noisy, but otherwise have good house manners.

We both LOVE balls – we are Lab mixes after all!

Buddy especially loves them – even more than food! We are basically good-natured, big boy Labs.

We know ‘sit’, ‘lie down’, and ‘give paw’. We enjoy car rides, get along with cats and with other dogs when we are together. A home with adults or with kids 13 and older would be fantastic. Are you ready for double the love?
