AH, WILDERNESS I read with great interest and concern your article on ATVs in the Green Mountain National Forest [“Ride or Wrong?” August 24].

Having just moved to Montpelier from the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania, I figured I could let folks know just what will happen should ATVs be allowed in the Green Mountains.

The Allegheny has over 100 miles of ATV trails in four different areas of the forest. These areas are appropriately referred to as “Intensive Use Areas.” This essentially means if you are interested in solitude or experiencing wildness, these areas are not for you. These trails are poorly maintained and offtrail riding is rampant, causing extensive soil damage and erosion problems.

The Forest Service response, not surprisingly, is to build more trails.

The Forest Service is on record for wanting to at least double the current ATV trail mileage in the Allegheny to 300 miles! Their reasoning is that this will give riders more legal trails to ride on, and therefore decrease illegal off-trail riding. However, experience has shown that the more miles of trail there are, the more off-trail riding there is, which greatly affects other forest users and wildlife.

To see just what the Green Mountain 2:23 PM National Page 1Forest can look forward to if ATV riding is allowed,

DAMAGE CONTROL Shame on us! Shame on all of us.

Tens of thousands of our people were allowed to suffer needlessly and thousands have died because of the pathetic response of this country to the greatest natural disaster to hit us in recent history [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Submerged,â&#x20AC;?

September 7].

While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear many reasons why this massive failure came about, there are no excuses.

There is only success or failure to those that needed us most.

There are two key factors that contributed mightily to this fiasco.

The failure of leadership and the failure to spend the money necessary to prevent this from occurring.

Leadership, authority and responsibility start at the top.

While this catastrophe unfolded, President Bush was busy frolicking in Texas on his vacation. Then he flew to San Diego to attend a fundraiser. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until

Wednesday that he went back to Washington.

While the president is not in charge â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the ground,â&#x20AC;? he is responsible for appointing the right people to head FEMA and other key agencies and then making sure they do their jobs. Instead, he appointed the former Commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, Mike Brown, to head up the recovery effort.

This is government as if nothing really matters. People died on account of this.

Prevention of a catastrophe is also important. Under this administration, nearly all programs and services

that benefit people are being cut, including the plans to improve New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; levee system.

This country, with its immense wealth and resources, can spend whatever money is necessary to meet our needs. Unfortunately, we also have very strange priorities.

The Bush administration, that came to power by stressing how they are the ones that will save us from the terrorist threat, has demonstrated that as one commentator put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save us from standing water.â&#x20AC;? How sad.

Norm Etkind WOODBURY

WATER WOES Many thanks for your excellent coverage of the fight for clean water that is being waged by residents of the Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park in Clarendon [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Matters,â&#x20AC;? September 7]. The comparison to the New Orleans disaster is appropriate in more ways than one. Yes, the water is contaminated, there is not enough water, and there are problems with sewage disposal.

Beyond that, the analogy is frightening because the low-income tenants of J.P. Carrara and Sons have been living with this situation for 10 years, in full view of state regulators who issued violation after violation notice, took enforcement action that required Carrara to pay a fine, and then held Carrara in contempt for failing to comply with the agreement set forth by the court.

And still nothing changed for the tenants.

Bureaucratic incompetence or willful neglect, the results are the same: lives are lost, health is dam-

1

aged, and the problems continue.

The victory that was bestowed upon the residents of Carraraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile home park by Act 250 will be short-lived. The District Commission took the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns seriously and put conditions on the permit that attempts to protect them. But J.P. Carrara and Sons has already said they will appeal to Environmental Court. The corporation is represented by an expensive law firm. Who will represent the tenants? Who will present expert witness testimony about the potential for deepening Carraraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarry next door from 70 feet to 175 feet deep to spread the contamination in the aquifer or further damage the infrastructure and water supplies at the mobile home park and neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; properties? How will lowincome Vermonters participate in a system designed only for those who can afford it?

If you have any answers, please contact Vermonters for a Clean Environment at vce@vce.org.

Meanwhile, someone sent me an article from a Ronoake, Virginia, newspaper that ran on September 8.

The headline reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trailer park owner gets two-year prison sentence.â&#x20AC;? Until Vermont is prepared to take such actions, we can expect a continuation of the failed regulatory system that exposes Vermonters to unhealthy living conditions, driving up the cost of health care for all.

Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send all your money south. There is ample need right here at home.

Smith is executive director of Vermonters for a Clean Environment.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Think of the tools you could buy instead of getting her this for your anniversary.

Doobie-Do vs.

Richie Rich?

D

“

ubie’s in” was the two-word buzz phrase that shot late last week through hallowed political backrooms, from Montpelier to the District of Columbia. In some places, the response was a shrug of regret and disappointment. In others there were cries of “Oh, boy!”

The words “Dubie’s in” mean that Brian Dubie, Vermont’s Republican LiteGov — currently on Hurricane Katrina duty with the Army Reserves — has decided to seek Vermont’s open U.S. Senate seat in 2006. That sets up an interesting GOP primary next September with IDX cofounder and gazillionaire Richie Tarrant. The winner will face off against Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, Vermont’s progressive firebrand.

Doobie-Do was not available for comment this week. Our Monday inquiry to the lieutenant governor’s office drew a prompt return call from a Dubie pal and GOP political operative, Joe Sinagra. Big Joe is executive director of the Vermont Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont. We told him we’d heard, “Dubie’s in.”

“Like he said all along,” Big Joe replied, “Brian’s thinking about all his options. Is the Senate a possibility? Yes, it is.

Nothing’s ruled out.”

But what about Richie Rich? Mr. Tarrant of IDX, they say, is prepared to spend $5 million from his own cookie jar.

Can the Doobster match that?

“I think Brian wins a primary against anybody. That goes without saying,” said Sinagra. “Against Bernie Sanders,” conceded Big Joe, “that would be a tough race.”

Once again this week, Candidate Tarrant could not be reached for comment.

We’re beginning to wonder if his heart is where his bankroll is. Last week, Richie was also “unavailable for comment” for a Boston Globe story on the Vermont U.S. Senate race.

Second thoughts, Mr. Tarrant? Don’t want to part with the new Bentley?

Rainville Rises — The head of the Vermont National Guard filed paperwork Monday to turn up the juice on her campaign for the U.S. House by formally launching an “exploratory committee.”

Fact is, Adjutant Gen. Martha Rainville appears to have the Republican congressional nomination in the bag. Her only GOP opponent at the moment is 1970s leftist-turned-Republican Dennis Morrisseau, the founder of Leunig’s Bistro on Church Street. He’s good for maybe 5 percent. Denny sold Leunig’s about 10 years ago and moved on.

Needless to say, it’s never been the same.

While Generalissima Martha has the Republican congressional nomination all locked up, most people don’t know how she got there. According to insiders familiar with her journey, it was quite the rollercoaster ride.

According to sources who swim in the deepest, darkest political channels, and spoke on condition of anonymity, Vermont’s first-in-the-nation female general of a state National Guard originally was planning to run as a Democrat.

Sources say Gen. Rainville let it be

known to the powers that be in the Vermont Democratic Party she was a “John Kerry Democrat” and wanted a “clear track” to run for the U.S. House seat that Bernie Sanders is relinquishing to run for the Senate. No primary opposition was what she demanded, sources say.

Unfortunately, State Sen. Peter Welch (D-Windsor) was also planning to run for the open 2006 congressional seat.

Vermont’s Democratic Party, which gets its marching orders from U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, simply could not grant Rainville’s request for a clear track. It is, after all, a democracy. C’est la vie.

Undeterred, sources say, Rainville took her political quest across the aisle and approached the Douglas team. We affectionately dubbed them the Nasty Boys back in the 2002 governor’s race. Neale Lunderville and Jim Barnett formed the dynamic campaign duo (a trio, actually, with press spokesman Jason Gibbs) that got Jim Douglas elected governor in the liberal-progressive enclave called Vermont.

Today Lunderville keeps a low profile on the governor’s Fifth Floor staff. Mad Dog Barnett is the young chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, constantly snapping at the heels of leftist “extremists” like Bernie Sanders. More on that later.

When Rainville approached the Nasty Boys, we’re told, she first had her eyes on a U.S. Senate bid. But the Nasty Boys already had Rich Tarrant and his $5 million in the Senate circle. Besides, like everyone else, they know that Sanders will be a toughie, especially for someone who’s never run a statewide campaign before.

So with Tarrant, their prized “self-funder” already on the hook, the Nasty Boys steered the general’s ambition from the U.S. Senate to the U.S. House. There she would have a clear track, at least as far as the Vermont Republican Party was concerned.

Martha obviously bought the deal, and since then Gov. Jim Douglas has repeatedly thrown public bouquets her way, discouraging any other serious GOP challengers.

This week, Rainville’s “volunteer spokesperson” Judy Shailor disputed the idea that Martha had demanded a primaryfree run for the House from Leahy and company.

“People from both sides of the aisle approached her,” said Shailor, “and hoped she’d run in their party.”

Shailor described Rainville as “a moderate middle-of-the-roader who could have fit in with either party.” She really “soulsearched, took some time and didn’t take it lightly,” said Judy. “She made a decision she could fit in the Republican Party.”

Hey, at least she’s flexible.

DERBY — Get ready for yet another battle in Vermont’s ongoing Wal-Mart war. Developer Jeff Davis, of Burlington-based J.L. Davis Realty, has announced plans to build a Wal-Mart in Derby, and the state’s antisprawl groups are gearing up to oppose him.

Davis developed the Wal-Mart at Taft Corners in Williston, and is seeking permits to build one in St. Albans. He’s partnering with Greg Fleming of Fleming Management Group in Derby to bring the big-box retailer to the Northeast Kingdom. At 150,000 square feet, the proposed store would be the discount chain’s largest in the state.

The developers presented their proposal at a planning meeting Monday night in Derby.

They need state and local permits to proceed. According to a report from WCAX TV, a crowd of more than 100 people “overwhemingly in favor” of the plan showed up.

But Steve Holmes of the Vermont Natural Resources Council says his group will challenge the store’s permit requests.

VNRC also opposes the proposed St. Albans Wal-Mart. On Friday, September 9, VNRC hosted an event called “Festival for a Local Vermont” in a field across from the proposed site in St. Albans.

Artisans, musicians and politicians turned out to raise money for VNRC and Northwest Citizens for Responsible Growth. The

group is also sponsoring the “Wal-Mart Roadshow” at the Sterling College Dining Hall in Craftsbury on September 15.

Environmentalist Bill McKibben will speak, and elderly activists The Raging Grannies will sing about Wal-Mart’s deleterious effects on mom-and-pop stores.

But Holmes clarifies his group is not anti-Wal-Mart per se. He says it’s the size and location of the two stores that worries them.

50,000- to 60,000-square-foot store. “They just won’t do it,” he says.

This kind of reaction has prompted Paul Bruhn of Preservation Trust Vermont to argue that the retailer seems “bent on trying to build these super-size stores that are way out of scale with the market and Vermont.”

But Davis claims the company is not inflexible. Originally, he

We think Wal-Mart can build and be profitable in this state at a smaller scale.

STEVE HOLMES, VNRC

He points out that VNRC approved three of the chain’s four stores in Vermont, which include two 50,000-square-foot stores in Berlin and Bennington, and the 76,000-square-foot store in Rutland. VNRC opposed Davis’ 115,000-square-foot Wal-Mart in Williston, and they’re fighting the 146,000-square-foot store in St. Albans. “We think Wal-Mart can build and be profitable in this state at a smaller scale,” he says.

Jeff Davis disagrees.

He calls Holmes “wellintentioned,” but says Wal-Mart has “made it clear” to him that smaller stores are not profitable or acceptable. “They know what size works in a market,” he says. Davis dismisses Holmes’ suggestion that Wal-Mart build a

says, “they wanted over 200,000 square feet” at the 18-acre Derby site.

Despite the objections, Davis is confident that his project will receive its permits. But, he says, “It’s clearly going to be a slow process.” m

SOCIAL SERVICES

“Sober Club” Finds a Home

BY CATHY RESMER

BURLINGTON — Turning Point Recovery Center — a substancefree “sober club” for addicts in recovery from drug, alcohol and other addictions — finally has a home in Burlington. The club, which closed its Colchester space in January, opened last week in a newly renovated former garage on South Champlain Street; its official address is around the corner, at 61 Main.

Mayor Peter Clavelle will welcome the center to Burlington at an opening celebration at 5 p.m. on September 20, after a meeting of the Burlington Substance Abuse Coalition. Another opening event, with Governor Douglas, is scheduled for October.

City officials were less enthusiastic about Turning Point last winter, when the organization tried to rent the storefront at 194 North Street. Residents and city councilors complained that the club, which is funded by grants from the Health Department, didn’t belong on the Old North End thoroughfare. North Street has too often been a “dumping ground” for social services, they said. After a public hearing, the city’s Development Review Board unanimously rejected the club’s application.

Kyrie Walker, Turning Point’s site coordinator, calls that decision “devastating.” On a recent afternoon, the former massage therapist could be found at the club’s new digs, unpacking boxes and arranging the donated furniture. “It was a major disappointment at the time,” she says, “but as you can see, it’s turned out for the best.”

to David Ackerman, who bought it a year and a half ago.

Ackerman says the space had been vacant for at least 20 years before he and his wife started fixing its broken windows, repairing the roof, and chasing out the pigeons. Turning Point is their first tenant.

Ackerman says he’s comfortable renting to the club. “The

City officials were less enthusiastic about Turning Point last winter, when the organization tried to rent the storefront at 194 North Street.

Walker, in long-term recovery herself, is referring to the club’s airy, spacious downtown HQ, beside the new Euro Gourmet Market & Café. It houses two pool tables, a couple of retro, restaurant-style booths and two recliners, as well as a separate area to be used for 12-step meetings such as Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous. The well-lit room is a far cry from the dim, cramped office space on North Street. “It’s got a great feel to it,” Walker observes.

This building, fronted by two large garage bay doors, belongs

people I’ve met that are associated with it seem to be topnotch people,” he says. “I’m hoping that Turning Point is going to do good things for Burlington.”

Walker is similarly optimistic.

She notes that local recovery groups have already started meeting here, and on Saturday, a group of sober motorcyclists stopped by.

She says she expects her clientele to be mixed. “We have people from all walks of life,” Walker points out. “Attorneys, physicians, accountants — you just don’t know.” m

Students Will Celebrate Constitution Day

Free Delivery!

BY CATHY RESMER

VERMONT — There’s a new holiday on academic calendars this year.

Thanks to a rider inserted in a spending bill passed last December, every school in the country that receives federal funding is now required by law to commemorate Constitution Day on September 17. The occasion marks the signing of the U.S. Constitution, which took place on that day in 1787.

Sound like a right-wing plot to compel lockstep patriotism? It’s not. In fact, Constitution Day may shape up to be a dissident’s dream come true.

Senator Robert Byrd, an 87year-old liberal Democrat from West Virginia, proposed the law.

Author of the 2004 tome Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency, Byrd has been one of the president’s harshest critics. In 2002, he wrote an article entitled “Rush to War Ignores U.S. Constitution” (available on antiwar.com). Byrd promoted Constitution Day to encourage students to learn about the document he believes is being threatened. “One will not protect what one does not value,” he said when he introduced the measure.

“And one cannot value what one does not understand.”

Though the U.S. Department of Education requires schools to honor the day, it offers no guidelines or funds. Schools must decide for themselves what to do.

DOE spokeswoman Samara Yudof dodges the question of how rigorously the policy will be enforced.

What’s For Dinner?

“We fully expect schools to comply and do not foresee any enforcement issues,” she says.

Vermont schools plan to mark the day in different ways.

Teachers instructing kids in grades K-12 might simply incorporate a lesson on the Constitution into their classes, but a few of the state’s colleges and universities are being more creative.

Champlain College is hosting a weeklong Constitutional Lecture series, which is open to the public. On Monday, September 12, it screened Inherit the Wind, a 1960 film about the teaching of evolution that focuses on the 1925 Scopes “monkey trial.” This Thursday, September 15, there’s a lecture about the constitutional amendments that ended slavery, and on Monday, September 19,

speakers will discuss the current Vermont secessionist movement.

No doubt Robert Edwards’ September 15 lecture will open eyes and push buttons. The professor’s talk, on Article III, Section III of the Constitution, is called “Are you guilty of treason? Are there traitors among us?” Edwards, head of Champlain’s Criminal Justice Program, says he’ll talk about the history of the treason section of the Constitution and lead a discussion about antiwar protestors. For example, he’ll ask whether Cindy Sheehan’s actions qualify as treason.

Edwards admits that he’s a little troubled by this effort to “legislate patriotism,” but Burlington College President Jane Sanders sees the day as “an opportunity,” >> 13A

Curses, Foiled Again Avis Pilcher, 78, called police to render aid after she was awakened by screams for help in the middle of the night and found Joseph G. McQuade, 29, in the bedroom of her home in Fort Smith, Ark., bleeding badly from his left wrist.

Officers arrested McQuade when they determined that he had kicked in Pilcher’s front door and entered the home seeking help because he had severed his left wrist on some shards of broken window glass while breaking into Pilcher’s car in her garage.

• After defense lawyer Donald Johnson was awakened by noises in another bedroom of his home in Cornwall,

Ontario, he snuck up on an intruder and knocked a knife out of his hand.

Then the two men struggled until they wound up face-to-face and did a double take. The burglar was one of Johnson’s clients, Scott Best, 34. “I guess he didn’t know it was my house,” Johnson said after police arrested Best.

Second-Amendment Follies

Kentucky State Police said that a disagreement between two friends over the war in Iraq ended with one of them fatally shooting the other. According to witnesses at a flea market in Prestonburg, where pro-war Douglas Moore, 65, and anti-war Harold W. Smith, 56, both had gun-trading tables, as the argument intensified, Smith pulled a small pistol out of his pocket, 2x4-ctx091405cocked 9/13/05 9:22 and AM threatened, Page 1 the hammer

“I’m going to blow your [expletive] brains out.” Moore responded by pulling a .38-caliber pistol from his pocket and shooting Smith once in the chest. “Doug was just quicker,” witness Harold Hannah told the Lexington Herald-Leader. Prosecutors and police determined that Moore acted in selfdefense.

• Authorities in Fond du Lac, Wis., said that a man who called 911 to report an accidental shooting explained that while he was using a screwdriver to try to dislodge a round from the chamber of a pistol, the weapon fired, dislodging the bullet, which struck the man in the abdomen.

Blinded by the Light When Star Wars Revenge of the Sith opened in England, Mark Webb, 20, and Shelley Mandiville, 17, decided to perform their own light-saber duel. Authorities in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, said that the pair apparently filled two fluorescent light tubes with gasoline, then lit them. One of the devices exploded, covering Webb and Mandiville with burning fuel and sending them to the hospital in critical condition.

It’s a Jungle out There The government of India’s Uttar Pradesh state announced plans to release 25 lions to flush bandits from their hideouts in the 14,400-square-mile, densely forested Chambal Valley. Officials said that the brigands, known locally as “dacoits,” are wanted for more than

“Our experience with Kim Negrón from the beginning was…we felt special, we felt Kim was very honest and really down to earth and she seemed like she could relate to us. She understood our questions.

4000 kidnappings and 180 killings in the past five years. “They were never afraid of hyenas and wolves of the Chambal ravines,” a forest ranger said.

“But lions will scare them away this time, we are sure.” Kidnap victim Guddu Khan, 32, doubted that the move would succeed, pointing out that the dacoits “are very good hunters as well. They will shoot down the lions the way they killed many leopards, wolves and other wild animals in the area.”

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs The State Department responded to vandals who stuffed paper down the toilets in one of its Washington, D.C., buildings by taping signs on the bathroom walls and stalls urging the perpetrators to stop abusing the toilets and seek help. “Stop! I’m just a toilet!” the notices read. “If something’s making you mad enough to abuse me, get it off your chest — don’t destroy the bathroom!”

The signs, which offer counseling services and mental health hotline numbers, continue, “Can’t control your destructive impulse? Seeking help is a sign of strength.”

• In Florida, Pasco County sheriff’s deputies cited Derick Cooper, 43, for spray-painting a sign on a house he owns that reads, “Die you miserable bitch.” The sign faces next-door neighbor Carol Hastrich, 73, who is dying of cancer. The sign’s message doesn’t violate any laws, but Pasco Code Enforcement Officer Patrick Phillips said that Cooper was cited because the wording was too big for a sign in a residential area.

Should Have Seen It Coming Scottish authorities blamed a fire that destroyed three apartments in Edinburgh on an amateur psychic’s shortsightedness. According to the Times newspaper, Edinburgh University student Herve Vandrot, 24, left his crystal ball on a windowsill while he went out and returned to find his top-floor apartment ablaze. Despite Vandrot’s insistence that his fortune-telling device was not the cause of the fire, investigators concluded that the ball had concentrated a ray of sunshine on a pile of laundry and acted “like a magnifying glass” to spark the blaze.

Thin Mint Follies Doris LeAnn Taylor, 33, of Shelby County, Ala., admitted stealing more than 3500 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and failing to return or pay for them. Police recovered 117 cases of cookies from the former Girl Scout mom, who served as cookie manager, but were unable to collect the $4900 owed on the remaining 177 cases. A judge sentenced Taylor to 294 hours of community service.

• Four months after the mother in charge of cookie sales for Girl Scout Troop 1868 in Springfield, Va., disappeared, along with her young daughter and $4483 in cookie proceeds, forcing cancellation of the troop’s summer camping trip, the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital said that it considered the loss a bad debt and turned the matter over to a collection agency. “If someone steals from you, you call the cops and you report it,” Emilio Velez, whose step-granddaughter is in Troop 1868, told the Washington Post. “You don’t go through a credit agency.” m

Duling says some of them will be publicly “arrested” for teaching evolution, or for directing controversial plays.

The Constitutionality of imposing Constitution Day. The edgy, challenging tone of Constitution Day events at some colleges will be magnified by their library’s participation in “The September Project.” Four Vermont libraries — at Castleton State, Landmark College, Green Mountain College and the University of Vermont — are mounting displays in conjunction with this worldwide grassroots movement to promote

dominance of fundamentalism in American politics, and widespread ecological deterioration.”

Colburn says it’s coincidental that Constitution Day and the September Project, now in its second year, occur simultaneously.

But she calls this “a happy accident.” She points out that the timing of the two events could renew students’ interest in freedom of speech and dissent, which would, after all, be in the spirit of the new school holiday. “That’s what’s great about the Constitution,” she says. m

Wilson, who spent three years in the hospital after fighting Germans in the seminal attack at Mount Belvedere in Italy, said the relationships are “very, very good,” among IFMS members. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “two of my best friends are Germans.”

With students from Middlebury College translating, the participants — who represented not only Germany and the U.S., but also Austria, France, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland — boarded buses to a large wall of con-

chair. From the obscured plateau of land at the top of the wall came the rat-a-tat-tat of simulated gunfire, along with impressive clouds of pink, green and white smoke, which smelled like kids’ cap guns. A few soldiers bounded down a zip-line before sending a stretcher to safe ground.

Everyone clapped for the “actors,” who seemed as impressed by their elders as the veterans were by the performance. Wilson said he has tremendous respect for those being deployed today. “Some of these kids coming out of Fort Drum, they’re 20 or 21, and already on their third tour of duty!” he said. “It’s a son of a gun.” m

CHURCH STREET MARKETPLACE, BURLINGTON.

Sixty years ago, some of these men faced each other in combat, as members of the 10th fought European troops throughout the Alps.

Be smart

JERICHO — The 10th Mountain Division recruited soldiers from the National Ski Patrol System, and then became a key influence on the post-World War II ski industry, with veterans founding ski magazines, schools and resorts. So it was fitting that their worldwide counterpart, the International Federation of Mountain Soldiers (IFMS), chose Stowe and surrounding areas as the site of its 20th annual congress, held September 7-11.

Sixty years ago, some of these men faced each other in combat, as members of the 10th fought European troops throughout the Alps. When they arrived at Stowe’s Trapp Family Lodge on September 10, they faced each other as friends, thanks to the formation of the IFMS in 1985 in Mittenwald, Germany. Their war, some of the former soldiers said, seemed much different from the current complications in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We knew who the enemy were, and we knew where the enemy were,” said Dick Wilson, 82, president of the New England chapter of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division. “Now war has gotten so sophisticated.”

The congress included opening ceremonies, a memorial gathering at the 10th Mountain Division ski trooper statue in Stowe, a meeting and a closing banquet. During an outing to the Army Mountain Warfare School (AMWS) in Jericho on September 9, veterans, spouses, descen-

entle readers: Pity the poor writer who â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two weeks after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the destruction of New Orleans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; needs to say something fresh or original or maybe even meaningful about it.

Try it yourself and see how far you get. If ever there was a case that allowed events to speak for themselves, this was it. If ever there was a case more â&#x20AC;&#x153;coveredâ&#x20AC;? by the media (barring, of course, the trial of O.J. Simpson and the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr.), this was it. If ever there was a case that inspired more

The day a Bush offers â&#x20AC;&#x153;hospitalityâ&#x20AC;? to African-American refugees in Texas is the day I eat my shorts. commentary, more acrimony, more recrimination than this, I would like to know what it was. As P.M. Carpenter wrote last week on Buzzflash.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone now knows what we knew from the beginning: George W. Bush is Marie Antoinette with a press agent.â&#x20AC;?

This is a terrible insult to Marie Antoinette, but never mind. I happen to agree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just for the moment, in extremis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a time to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;pointing fingersâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;laying blame.â&#x20AC;? I can say this because my only concern and feeling are with the victims of Katrina, and because I know that the full incompetence and cynicism of the Bush regime has been finally, forever and nakedly exposed. Did it really take â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katrinaâ&#x20AC;? (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corina,â&#x20AC;? as Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clueless wife, Laura, kept calling it until they stopped her) to demonstrate the utter bankruptcy of the Bush enterprise? And if it did, why? Why did it take something like this, when the evidence was already plain for everyone to see, in every area and every direction of our national life? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who is going to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;? asks Stephen Pizzo on Alternet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to stand up and say that these people must be prevented from doing any more damage? . . . Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long past time for those who know better, those in both parties, to declare the skipper incompetent and take charge. Leave him muttering and raging alone in his office, fidgeting with his ball bearings and accusing those around him of disloyalty. The time has come. The standard exceeded. The evidence is piled high around us.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, the evidence is piled on the bodies of the dead and displaced all along the Gulf Coast, not just in New

Orleans. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if the deceased amount to 500 or 10,000 (as we were very cleverly told to expect, so they could later lower the number and make it look good). All of it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? as Bush himself has said several times, blinking for his political life.

Even more â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptableâ&#x20AC;? are the remarks of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Barbara Bush, the worst set of gilded bones and golf clubs ever to enter or leave the East Wing of the White House.

To the credit of our press, her words have been widely quoted. She was speaking on National Public Radio about Katrinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refugees, finally airlifted out of New Orleans to the Houston Astrodome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all want to stay in Texas,â&#x20AC;? said the senior Mrs. Bush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.â&#x20AC;?

She actually chuckled when she said this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a par with the words she used when her son attacked Iraq in 2003 and she was asked about the deaths involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should we hear about body bags and deaths?â&#x20AC;? asked Mrs. Bush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, I mean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?â&#x20AC;?

Speaking of Marie Antoinette â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. The day a Bush offers â&#x20AC;&#x153;hospitalityâ&#x20AC;? to African-American refugees in Texas is the day I eat my shorts. Most of the printed accounts of Mrs. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insult left out what she said at the beginning, namely, that she feared the Gulf Coast refugees would pack up on her lawn: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing, which is sort of scary, is that they all want to stay in Texas.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelmingâ&#x20AC;? the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hospitalityâ&#x20AC;? is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poppy,â&#x20AC;? meanwhile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the unlamented first President Bush â&#x20AC;&#x201D; warned the world last week that if anyone wants to criticize his son they will have to deal with Barbara, and that, if they do, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suggest you wear your flak jacket.â&#x20AC;?

I suggest you bring a can of RAID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and use it. Now that FEMA chairman Michael Brown has resigned his post, we can send him off to the tumbrels, too, recalling his well-chosen words on first being â&#x20AC;&#x153;called backâ&#x20AC;? to Washington last week: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go home and walk my dog and hug my wife and maybe get a good Mexican meal and a stiff margarita and a full nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep.â&#x20AC;?

But, as I said, this is no time for blame. A nation that has not just permitted but conspired in the reign of these thugs has no business complaining now, not when there are so many people who need help. That is the best of America; the Bushes are the worst. m

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, I’ve just finished reading about how researchers have concluded that Mars was never warm based on analysis of a meteor — found on Earth. More distantly, you’ll remember that they were debating whether a fossil of a living organism had been found in a Martian meteor found in Antarctica. My question: How do they know these meteors came from Mars? Are they labeled? Have they found meteors from other planets that they recognize? Why waste all this money and time on the space program if there are rocks from these planets just lying around Earth?

Kent, Birmingham, Alabama The rocks were found on Earth, Kent, so they’re meteorites, not meteors. (Meteors are space rocks that fry in the atmosphere; meteorites are the remnants that make it all the way down.) Once you get that straight, try chewing on this: Scientists think the Martian meteorites came from Mars because — I realize the nontechnical mind won’t find this entirely persuasive — they couldn’t plausibly have come from anywhere else.

The Martian meteorites — 34 have been identified to date — are collectively known as the SNC (pronounced “snick”) group. The letters stand for three related categories of geologically unusual meteorite: shergottites, the prototype of which fell in 1865 near the town of Shergotty in India; nakhlites, named for a rock that dropped on Nakhla, Egypt, in 1911; and chassignites, so called because of the specimen that landed in Chassigny, France, in 1815.

For years it was assumed that the SNC meteorites were hunks of asteroid like pretty much every other space rock. Then in 1979 geologists Hap McSween and Ed Stolper advanced the seemingly barmy thesis that the meteorites had come from Mars based on the following logic: (a) the SNC stones were igneous, i.e., volcanic; (b) all examples then known had solidified 1.3 billion years ago or less; (c) only planet-sized bodies still had volcanoes going that late in the game — Earth’s moon cooled off roughly 3 billion years ago,

and asteroids chilled shortly after their creation roughly 4.5 billion years ago; (d) of the two planets that might reasonably be said to be within a stone’s throw of us, Venus’ strong gravitational pull and thick atmosphere make it an unlikely launching pad for meteors; so (e) that pretty much leaves Mars.

Persuaded? McSween’s fellow rock jocks initially didn’t buy it, either. But then other researchers analyzed the minute bubbles trapped in a shergottite meteorite, which presumably were a trace of the atmosphere of the rock’s home planet. The noble gases in the bubbles (argon and such, which being noble don’t change over time and so are a sort of planetary fingerprint) precisely matched those in the Martian atmosphere as sampled not long before by the Viking landers.

A pivotal question remained: What launched the pieces of Martian rock into space? A monster meteorite strike was the obvious answer, but some objected that the energy of such an impact should have turned the future SNC meteorites into glass or vaporized them altogether. Two developments helped blunt that argument. The first was theoretical work demonstrating that a percentage of impact debris would (OK, could) survive ejection into space relatively unscathed, and the second was the discovery of a lunar meteorite in Antarctica in 1982. (That find, incidentally, addresses your question about whether meteorites from other planets have been discovered. Answer: yes, if you count the moon. We know the Antarctic meteorite came from the moon because it matched samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts.) If a celestial chip shot can blast rocks off the moon, the thinking went, they can get blasted off Mars, too.

At this point you may be saying: This is not a story I’d care to run past a judge. Maybe not, but it seems to have carried the day in the scientific community. (You understand I’m omitting a lot of corroborative technical detail.) That’s more than can be said of the claim that one Martian rock contains fossils of stuff that once was alive. According to McSween, nobody believes this now except its original proponents.

That brings us to your last question: If we’ve got the rocks, why go into space for more? Couple reasons: (1) With all respect to the geniuses who thought it up, some of us would like a little proof of this cockamamie theory, e.g., an actual Mars rock for comparison. (Conceivably a sophisticated probe could do the analysis on Mars and radio back the results.)

(2) Because most Martian meteorites are relatively young, and the interesting stuff on Mars happened earlier. OK, maybe the odds of there having been Martian life way back when are slim. If it happened, though, wouldn’t you want to know?

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

Word on the Streets

H IMAGE Matthew Thorsen Burlington Literary Festival. Various events around Burlington, September 23-25. Info, Susan Weiss, 865-5816.

To sign up for a soapbox slot, call Kim Jordan at 318-0934 or email kimberlingo @hotmail.com.

Reading and signing

by Khaled Hosseini at the Champlain College Student Life Complex, 262 South Willard Street, Burlington, September 23, 7:30 pm. Info, 865-6427.

ave you always wanted to declaim from a soapbox? This may be your chance. The organizers of the first annual Burlington Literary Festival are currently seeking poetic types to read from soapboxes — real ones — on Church Street. A total of 42, 15-minute slots will be assigned, and “People can read whatever they want,” says organizer Kim Jordan. She expects to see the full range of possibilities — “sets and costumes, call and response, original compositions, recitation.”

It’s all part of an attempt to liberate poetry from the yellowing pages. “Life is not meant to be just in books, but on the street,” declares Jordan.

“We’ll have guerrilla poetry and poetic terrorism.”

Besides the soapbox readers, bands of “Roving Reciters” will roam the streets, and “Poetry Police” will correct the dangling modifiers of passersby. At the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts, poets can contribute their own homemade books to a revamped cigarette machine that dispenses poems for a dollar a pop. Throughout the festival, Jordan hopes to hear metrical language cropping up in unexpected places: “We’re encouraging people to do things like go into Penny Cluse on Sunday morning and recite a Gertrude Stein poem,” she says.

Not that there won’t be slightly more traditional readings and performances. On Friday, Galway Kinnell will read at City Hall Auditorium. Slam poet Geof Hewitt will be at Red Square. The “spoken word and jazz collective” Beboparaka, whose members include Jordan, UVM professor Major Jackson and trumpet player Alex Toth, will perform at Metronome. And belly-dancing instructor Christine Demarais will shimmy to accompany a reading of The Arabian Nights.

There’s so much going on over the three-day, written-and-spoken-word festival that deciphering the schedule is a bit like following a multilevel postmodern narrative. “We’re really trying to make this a something-for-everyone festival,” says organizer and Burlington City Arts writing program director Susan Weiss. She rattles off panel discussions on “Publishing Trends” and “What Makes Writers Write,” a flash-fiction workshop, a cooking demo with the folks from Moosewood Restaurant, and a Saturday night literary costume party at the Firehouse with a “spoken-word orchestra.”

The list of participating authors runs from state poet Grace Paley to literary novelists Marc Estrin and Chris Bohjalian to mystery scribes Don Bredes and Sarah Stewart Taylor. On the funny side are cartoonists Alison Bechdel, Harry Bliss, dug nap and James Kochalka.

Not all the talent is local. Out-of-town literati include comic novelist Stephen McCauley and Russell Banks, author of Affliction and The Sweet Hereafter. While both have seen their acclaimed novels turned into films, neither has interviewed Paul McCartney. That honor belongs to Rolling Stone editor Anthony DeCurtis, who will read on Saturday at Borders from In Other Words: Artists Talk About Life and Work, a collection of meaty celebrity interviews from his 25-year career.

The last time DeCurtis came to Burlington was to write a story on Phish — “which was like going to the North Pole as Santa Claus’ guest,” he explains in a telephone interview. DeCurtis, an occasional commentator on VH1, is serious about bridging the gap between literature and the other arts — specifically, about viewing his field, rock criticism, as a form of literature. With a PhD in American lit, he’s currently teaching a writing seminar at the University of Pennsylvania. “Most writing about pop music is really bad,” says DeCurtis. He tries to impress on his students that “the more words you have in your arsenal, the more precise you can be. Once you feel like you can express yourself, it’s a great gift — and that ability to express is particularly important now.”

Also important to students: Except for the cos-

Besides the soapbox readers, bands of “Roving Reciters” will roam the streets, and “Poetry Police” will correct the dangling modifiers of passersby. tume party, a few workshops and the Sunday night comedy showcase featuring writers from The Onion, everything at the festival is free.

Besides its elements of avant-garde romp and literary stargazing, the festival has a pedagogical edge — particularly on Sunday, which is stocked with fun and educational programs for young readers. Guest writers include Natalie Kinsey Warnock, a children’s author whose 21st book, Nora’s Ark, recently earned a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly. Drawn from stories of the disastrous 1927 flood, the book may be of special interest to kids trying to process the news from New Orleans. Rather than reading, Kinsey Warnock says she’ll “try to give people a sense of where all my books come from,” using slides and stories drawn from seven generations of her dairyfarming family.

“My contention is that every family has these amazing stories,” Kinsey Warnock says. As for the festival, she’d “love to see it take off and become an annual thing.”

Local writers are excited. “This is what we’ve been waiting for as literary artists,” says Jordan, noting that visual artists already have venues for public expression. Her voice falling ever so slightly into the cadences of spoken-word poetry, she continues, “It’s an opportunity to come out from behind the covers, the notebooks and the podiums

and meet people face to face and voice to voice.”

A single book brings many people together each fall at Champlain College. As part of its annual “Community Book Program,” the college selects a well-written text that students can relate to “and that may even change their lives.” In a campus-wide effort, students read, discuss and even stage the literary work. This year it’s The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. A native of Afghanistan whose family took refuge in the U.S. in 1980, Hosseini drew on his childhood memories for the best-selling novel, which follows its characters through violent times into the present.

His September 23 reading is open to the public.

Don’t want to wait for a battered copy of The Kite Runner to turn up at the local library? An indie bookstore in St. Albans has come up with a scheme that motivates bookworms to buy shiny new hardcovers. Better Planet Bookstore has teamed up with more than 20 community libraries for a new event called “Love Your Library.” All through September, customers can ask to have 25 percent of the amount of their book purchases donated to their local library, knowing they’re supporting a local business and a lending program at the same time. “It’s a winwin-win situation,” says store owner Fred Kosnitsky, who hopes to make this an annual promotion. m

BY JUDITH LEVINE

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

Drowned Out

T

he first clue came on a Saturday night, when a guy called from the fraud department of Dell Computer’s credit arm, telling me a new account had been opened using my Social Security number and $3600 worth of equipment ordered. He noticed a suspicious overseas shipping address — a red flag. The same day a similar email about a credit application arrived from amazon.com. That one had been denied.

I got on the horn to my Visa card issuer, CapitalOne. “Hmm,” the woman muttered as she called up my account. “Some unusual activity here.” Indeed. As far back as her screen revealed, charges were being made every 30 seconds to three minutes.

A headache sprang to the space behind my eyes.

The memory tape screeched backward 10 days. I saw the email urging me to update my PayPal billing information “or risk cancellation of service, Terms of Service violations or future billing problems”; the ghost website to which the clicked URL delivered me, perfect down to the Security Seal; the letters and numbers of my birth date and mother’s maiden name as I typed them in. I also recalled that each time I hit Submit, I got bounced back to the previous page.

In hindsight, that Security Seal was a nice touch.

So, too, the difficulty in Submitting, considering that a ring of criminal cyber-masters now owns Judith Levine.

To be separated from your legal and financial identity is to be unmoored. “I could go under,” I told my partner. Then Katrina came, and I realized I had no idea what that means.

To be separated from your legal and financial identity is to be unmoored. You write into your calendar the dates — every six months from now on — to visit the Social Security office and order your credit files, checking that no one is working and accruing taxes or debt in your name. You make a police report, hoping it will help if the imposter commits a violent crime and tells the cops she is you. You are enraged each time you have to convince some authority that the real you lives in your body.

I was terrified. “I could go under,” I told my partner.

Then New Orleans drowned with its poorest citizens in it. I realized I had no idea what it means to be unrecognized, and go under because of it.

Like everyone else, I watched in horror.

Underfunded, the local rescuers were under water.

The National Guard was in Iraq. The president was in Arizona, glad-handing.

The newspapers published lists of religious relief agencies; former presidents went on television asking for charity. By week’s end, Wal-Mart was setting up trucks on the city’s edges selling water, food and other provisions. Later, for better PR, the company donated $15 million.

With the president indisposed and the Treasury stacked with past-due notices from foreign creditors, only the corporation and God were left to lend a hand.

And Sri Lanka. It sent $50,000.

“Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

Meanwhile, I was trying to rescue my identity.

I turned to the corporation and the government.

God, if I believed in Him, might have helped more.

I had to review my credit files immediately, to dispute fraudulent new accounts. The recorded voice on the phone told me the reports took two weeks to process. I tried to get a peek online, but I had to use my credit card, which I’d just canceled; a new one would come in two weeks. There was no live person at any credit bureau with whom to discuss this dilemma. The website said a direct phone number would come with the credit file.

To Visa, which touts a “world-class fraud protection,” with “a constant eye on your account for any potential fraud activity,” I groused that the eye had been shut during a nonstop flurry of worldclass fraud on my account. Customer Service referred me to Complaints, where I was told to stop complaining. “You got a Fraud Investigator, didn’t you?” the agent asked. Yes, I got Betty L., who had so far missed three appointments. Anyway, he added, “we’re not required by law” to notice or inform the customer of suspicious activity.

Citibank had no way to put a new password on my accounts. “But you don’t have to worry, Ms. Levine,” said Customer Service, “because every time you call, we confirm your identity by asking your address, your Social, your mother’s maiden name . . .”

“Yes,” I said, for the fourth time, “but the thieves know the answer to those questions. We need a fresh, new question.”

“We always ask you . . .” We went through it again.

I had ideas. “How about my brother’s middle name? My fifth-grade teacher?”

She got defensive. “What makes you think your information isn’t secure with Citibank?” Then she had an idea. “You could change your mother’s maiden name.”

“But my mother’s maiden name is . . . is — ” I stammered, “it’s her name.”

“You could change it.”

I tried to clarify. “I have only one mother. My mother had only one father.”

After a while it sank in: My “identity” had nothing to do with my ancestry, my story — with me.

To the corporation I am but a consumer, a collection of credits and debits, stuck together with PINs. I called the identity-theft hotline at the Federal Trade Commission, the government’s consumer protection agency, for help getting my credit file.

“Is there no person I can speak to at any of the three credit bureaus?” I asked.

“No, ma’am,” said the guy, ready to hang up.

By this time, I had read FACTA, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, most of which is devoted to helping victims clean up the mess, after the fact. The law entitles everyone to one free credit file, but the two-year-old rule had yet to take effect nationwide. As it happens, the Eastern states still had two weeks to wait.

“Don’t they have to respond right away to fraud victims?” I asked.

“They’re companies,” he answered. “They can do what they want to.”

“Excuse me,” said I. “You’re the federal regulator.”

“Thank you for educating me.”

The picture was getting clearer. The banks make a calculation: Easy credit enables fraud. Fraud is costly, but regulation is costlier. So they lobby against regulation. Congress members figure that corporate contributions buy more votes than consumer protection. So they give the industry what it wants, and worry about the citizens later.

A similar calculation was apparently made in 2003, when George W. reversed his father’s policy to save Louisiana’s wetlands and handed them over to developers. At the same time, rule changes at the Environmental Protection Agency prohibited it from protecting these areas unless they were involved in interstate commerce (and what would that be, alligator bags?). A study by four environmentalist groups concluded that without these natural flood sponges, New Orleans would be wiped out by an ordinary hurricane.

Grover Norquist, the Administration’s anti-tax guru, once said he wanted to make the government so small it could “drown in a bathtub.” New Orleans is sometimes called a city in a bathtub.

This time, it looked as if the baby in the White House was going down the drain, too.

But eight days after the levees broke, the president caught a life preserver: a word. “Bureaucracy is not going to stand in the way of getting the job done for the people,” he declared.

Aha. We should not blame racism, or the Iraq war, the denial of global warming, neglect of the country’s infrastructure and the abandonment of its cities, or the plunder of the Treasury called tax “reform.”

No, the problem was bureaucracy — too-big government. This was a breathtaking stroke of spin, with Karl Rove’s fingerprints all over it.

The week of my identity theft, I dreamed that someone broke into my house and painted the walls ugly iridescent colors. It could have been a premonition: the red, white and blue muddy as flood water, iridescent with petrochemicals.

Way before Katrina, all of us — from jobless, homeless African-American to mortgage-holding white professional — were being systematically displaced, relieved of our identities as citizens, the collective identity beyond our individual bank accounts and mothers’ maiden names. What we saw washing away in the hurricane’s wake was the very idea of a public good, whose promotion and preservation is the duty of government, which belongs to all of us.

If we do not rebuild our identity as Americans, in it together, we will all be unmoored. We will drown separately. m

one of us really wants to know what it’s like to live with ALS — that is, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly called Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

But a new, Vermont-made documentary makes doing so entirely watchable, even uplifting. Mind Games: A Love Story, by Barnard filmmaker Teo Zagar, tells the story of Dr. Tom French, also of Barnard, who beat the odds of ALS’ typical “life sentence” — instead of three to five years, he survived nine. The film screens this Friday in Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium.

Introduced to the French family by the owner of the town’s general store, Zagar, 27, spent a year hanging out at the unusual household, interviewing and videotaping its members — Tom, his wife Jacquie and their 6-year-old daughter Lauren. Two full-time male nurses, a couple of dogs and a cat were also constant companions, along with a regular stream of visiting friends.

The occasions captured on film are the stuff of anyone’s home movies — dinners, birthday parties, holidays, vacations — except for the presence of a quadriplegic man in a wheelchair, hooked up to a ventilator and feeding tube. Though Tom French is physically withered and motionless, his eyes and smile reveal an active engagement. Jacquie has learned to “read” the slight movements of Tom’s jaw, and occasionally interprets for the camera what he has to say. It is Jacquie’s extraordinary strength, determination and zest for life that enable this family to deal with her husband’s disease on their own terms, in their own home. “They were so hopeful and optimistic,” says Zagar. “I never heard any talk about ‘What will happen when he’s not able to use his eyes’ — it was really just day to day.”

An award-winning film student at Hampshire College and a former intern for documentary guru Ken Burns, Zagar put his acquired skills to work for Mind Games. With a cinema verité style, it has the raw immediacy, intimacy and often humor of a family video, and is interspersed with vintage footage, still photographs and quotes from Tom — these presented as white text over black ground, à la silent films. Zagar is entering Mind Games in Sundance and hoping for distribution.

French, once a successful plastic surgeon, is far from passive despite his condition: He started an online business, TwoNationsRx.com, importing discount drugs from Canada. The film shows him “writing” on his computer via an infrared technology that tracks his eye movements. In much the same way, we learn, French has written a chapter for a book entitled Who’s/Whose Right? Seeking Answers and Dignity in the Debate Over the Right to Die (DC Press). Zagar’s film

title was borrowed from Tom, who calls ALS the “ultimate mind game.” In the book he writes, “I became more optimistic, not necessarily about being cured, but with accepting my co-host/parasite and setting limits. It was psychological warfare and I intended to win.”

But it’s the rest of the title — A Love Story — that conveys the heart of this film. In interviews with Jacquie we learn the couple’s remarkable backstory: Best friends in high school (in Shrewsbury, Mass.), Tom and Jacquie soon discovered they were soulmates, and married young.

While Tom spent 10 grueling years in med school, residency and practice, Jacquie tried to get pregnant, enduring

Mind Games is an unflinching portrait of living with a dreadful disease, but it has more to do with love, hope and faith. numerous miscarriages and a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. Finally, she was diagnosed as infertile. The strain of all this led to the couple’s divorce. But when Tom called her a couple years later, in 1996, to tell her of his own diagnosis, Jacquie rushed to his side, this time to stay, she says.

Tom retired to enjoy what little time he had left with a functioning body; the couple relocated to Barnard and remodeled a falling-down home on a gorgeous wooded property, where they remarried.

During a trip to New York to see The Phantom of the Opera, a miracle happened: Jacquie got pregnant. The unexpected birth of his baby daughter inspired Tom to reverse his “Do Not Resuscitate” order.

Mind Games is an unflinching portrait of living with a dreadful disease, but it has more to do with “love, hope and faith,” says Zagar, “and how these most fundamental aspects of the human spirit can be found in the most unexpected places.”

Tom French passed away last Thursday, September 8, at age 44. His heart stopped beating while he was getting ready to attend a screening of Mind Games in Woodstock. “He died perfectly, with his wife and his parents there,” says Zagar. This Friday, Jacquie French will attend the film, with her husband’s ashes, in Burlington. On Saturday, a memorial service in Barnard will be followed by “a big party at the Frenches’ house,” Zagar says. “Then I’ll probably sleep for a week.” m

Friday, September 16th & Saturday, September 17th

covering City Hall years ago, as well as town government in Chittenden County, and local crime, and on and on. What can be said of its current non-informative Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsâ&#x20AC;? section, full of big pictures and tiny articles?

Clavelle told us this week he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invited many people to his announcement outside of family and close friends, but as word spread through the Queen City, more than 125 Clavelle fans made their way to the Firehouse Gallery for the big speech. It was standing-room only. Ch. 3 and Ch. 5 had their satellite trucks outside.

Mayor Moonie called the surprise turnout â&#x20AC;&#x153;heartwarming.â&#x20AC;?

In an interview at his office on Monday, Clavelle said he was happy to have the announcement behind him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little hard to let go,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Then our interview was interrupted by a return call from Mayor Xavier Bishop of Moss Point, Mississippi. The small, mostly black, Gulf Coast town of 18,000 was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Mayor Moonie of Burlap was reaching out to help, offering to establish a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sister-city relationshipâ&#x20AC;? so that Burlingtonians could not only assist now but â&#x20AC;&#x153;establish long-term relations.â&#x20AC;?

As for which candidate the departing Democratic Mayor of Burlington will support in the coming mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, Clavelle replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a spectator. I want to hear the candidates.â&#x20AC;?

And it looks like there will be a bunch to hear from. Democrats Hinda Miller, John Tracy and Karen Lafayette already appear to be in campaign mode. So does Republican Kevin Curley.

Progressive City Councilor Jane Knodell, a UVM professor, is said to be giving it serious consideration.

Over the weekend we heard Jim Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; administration secretary Charlie Smith (of the Burlington Savings Bank Smiths, and a resident of the prestigious Hill section) was giving a mayoral bid some consideration. What a feather in the Vermont Republican Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat that would be: First, the GOP takes back the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office after a dozen years of Democrat Howard Dean; then they take over Burlington City Hall 25 years after Bernie and the Sanderistas moved in.

However, Charlie, whose older brother, Rep. Peter Smith, lost to Sanders in the 1990 U.S. House race, sounded a bit startled Monday when we spoke to him about his mayoral prospects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, I really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given it any thought,â&#x20AC;? he told yours truly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing,â&#x20AC;? said the banker-by-trade.

Given the fact that next Marchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election will feature the very first implementation of Instant Runoff Voting, and the new requirement that the winning mayoral candidate receive more than 50 percent of the vote, almost anything can happen. The next mayor of Burlington will likely win because he or she was the top second choice on opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supporters.

Interesting.

Word of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smith for Mayorâ&#x20AC;? possibility hit the mainstream

press Tuesday morning via the Rutland Herald/Times Argus. By noon WGOP, er, WCAX-TV was reporting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of Governor Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top aides is considering running for mayor of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest city. Sources close to Charles Smith, who serves as administration secretary, say he is mulling a potential run to be Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next mayor. The Republican says he plans to discuss his future political career with his family before making a final decision.â&#x20AC;?

At the moment, our GOP sources say, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet on it.

Mayoral Endorsement? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Incidentally, as the free-for-all that will be the 2006 Burlington mayoral race begins, we should note that the incumbent does not feel bound to support the nominee of his current party.

Peter Clavelle was born and raised a Democrat in Winooski.

But when he joined Mayor Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; administration in 1983, he became a Progressive. Then, two years ago, he switched back to Democrat before his successful mayoral reelection and subsequent unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end,â&#x20AC;? said da mayor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support the candidate who I believe is best suited and most competent.â&#x20AC;?

Right now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one candidate he most likely will not support: fellow Democrat State Rep. John Tracy. In fact, in his speech last Wednesday, Mayor Clavelle included a one-line, barbed slap at John-John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some potential candidates have deferred to me and my decision,â&#x20AC;? said Clavelle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and for that I am thankful.â&#x20AC;?

Tracy, as everyone knows, declared for mayor last March.

Rep. Tracy did not respond this week to our messages requesting comment. But sources say he has long had an ambition to become mayor of Burlington. Not a bad dream for a househusband who worked part-time at Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, eh? Maybe Tracy will go on to run FEMA one day?

We asked House Speaker Gaye Symington last week if she thought Tracy, chairman of her special Committee on Health Care, would have to step down to run for and/or serve as mayor of Burlington.

Symington said she would leave that decision up to Tracy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I trust Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment,â&#x20AC;? said the Speaker.

Next week city Dems will meet to schedule their caucus, probably sometime in early December. Whichever candidate turns out the most bodies wins the nomination.

Bad Cop, Good Cop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the perfect tag teams: Abbott & Costello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis and Jim Douglas & Jim Barnett. They all work off their differences.

In the case of the first two teams, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart vs. stupid.

In the case of Douglas & Barnett, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like tennis player vs. flame-thrower.

In a Boston Globe story last week about Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bernardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for the U.S. Senate, Mad Dog Barnett unloaded this little nicety:

2x5-Windows033005

“This man [Sanders] is proven to be an ineffective extremist,” said Jim Barnett, chairman of the Vermont Republican Party. “We’re no longer talking about one out of 435. We’re talking about a very powerful position, as one of 100 in the United States Senate.”

An “ineffective extremist,” eh?

We contacted Mad Dog to get his definition of “extremist,” since for us it conjures up images of suicide bombers and religious fanatics.

Barnett defended his “extremist” label, saying the four-term mayor of Burlington and seventerm congressman from Vermont is an “extremist” because he “specifically advocates for a government takeover of private industry.”

Indeed, Ol’ Bernardo has advocated a single-payer approach to health care, but all that does is make him sound like any normal member of the British Parliament.

Asked if he agreed with his party chairman’s “extremist” label, Gov. Douglas hit a perfect drop shot.

“There’s a lot of rhetoric in political circles,” said the Guv. “We’ve heard that from all different sides of the aisle, even national chairmen get carried away from time to time,” he said in a veiled reference to Howard Dean’s wellnoted verbal outbursts. “So I think I’m going to maintain a more measured approach.”

These guys are a good team, eh?

Media Notes — As Ch. 5’s Gus Rosendale reminded us this week, we told him almost five years ago, when he started at WPTZ-TV News, that he’d be moving on one day. That day has come. The talented weekend anchor and reporter is bound for WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh.

“It’s a big promotion,” said Gus, “but I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you how sad I am to be leaving Vermont. As everyone who lives here knows, this is a special place. People around here welcomed me into their living rooms and made me a better journalist in the process. I’ve never taken that generosity for granted. And I will miss it.”

Also, WPTZ will soon start up a new 5:30 p.m. news program called “5:30 Now.” It debuts on Monday, September 19. Erin Connors will anchor, with Gib Brown replacing Tom Messner on weather. News Director Kyle Grimes says each show will feature news segments anchored from their Colchester, White River Junction and Plattsburgh bureaus.

Since WPTZ already does a half-hour local news at 5 o’clock and another at 6 o’clock, the new news program will give WPTZTV 90 minutes of early-evening local news, versus 60 minutes over at WCAX-TV. Sounds like overkill, doesn’t it? m

1in 5 It takes a catastrophe like Katrina to call attention to what most of us take for granted. But lots of people face challenges every day and will continue to do so long after the waters have receded down South. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 20 percent of Vermonters have a disability. In this issue, we explore the ways some of them get by: Ruth Horowitz looks at the sexual side of living with a handicap. Ken Picard discusses autism in children (page 28a). Cathy Resmer visits members of the Handicapped Travel Club (page 32a).

And Elisabeth Crean describes her 15-year experience with chronic fatigue syndrome (page 36a).

Coincidentally, two locally produced documentaries dealing with disabilities screen in the Burlington area this week. In “State of the Arts” (page 19a), Pamela Polston discusses Mind Games, a film about love in the face of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. And in “Flick Chick” (page 60a), Susan Green previews Living the Autism Maze.

Resources related to specific disabilities are included with the individual articles. Below are some organizations that provide more general information and services.

ill Allen is intelligent and outgoing, and has been interested in boys since the third grade. But the South Burlington resident only recently started dating, STORY which is pretty late for someone RUTH her age — 27. Allen has cerebral HOROWITZ palsy and uses a wheelchair. And it’s not easy to envision oneself IMAGE in a relationship when most MICHAEL prospective partners assume that TONN romance is off-limits. “Many people believe that people with VPIC sexuality disabilities have no sexuality, are workshop, sterile, or act sexually and are October 25, therefore ‘deviant,’” explains 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Unitarian Church, Allen. Another assumption: that Burlington. Free. such people are asexual “because www.vtpic.com they can’t get any,” she adds.

These are all misconceptions.

by Miriam and works as an information Kaufman, Cory referral specialist for the Vermont Silverberg and Fran Odette. Cleis Press, Center for Independent Living, is out to set the record straight.

“I’m passionate about disabilities

and sexuality because I’m a person with a disability who expresses my sexuality,” she states.

“Sexuality is possible for people with any disability. It’s just a matter of patience and creativity.”

Allen will spread this gospel at an October workshop sponsored by the Vermont Parent Information Center (VPIC), a nonprofit that helps families advocate for their kids with special needs. Allen will be joined by pediatrician Dr. Barbara Frankowski, who gives sex talks to Burlington middle-school students. Frankowski, who acknowledges that even teachers and doctors have trouble tackling this topic, says she’ll advise parents, “Be aware of kids’ sexuality and don’t ignore it. Start talking about it early, as all parents should. Be aware that it will be more difficult if your child is disabled. And the message can’t be don’t do it, because that’s not humanly realistic.”

According to VPICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jillian Kilpatrick, the workshop was prompted by the volume of sexrelated questions the organization fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents are afraid that if they talk to their kids about sex, it will make them sexual. The most dangerous thing you can do is not talk to your kid,â&#x20AC;? she suggests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear about students who are potentially getting into legal situations because of inappropriate sexual conductâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; behavior that arises because an adolescent with a developmental disability, say, has never been taught how to handle his raging hormones.

People with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, says Katherine McLaughlin, a sexuality educator with Planned Parenthood.

Those with developmental impairments are especially at risk. And 99 percent of the time, McLaughlin adds, the abuser is not a stranger. This happens in

part because kids with, for example, mental retardation are â&#x20AC;&#x153;often taught to please, to be compliant, to do as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told,â&#x20AC;? explains McLaughlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tendency is to treat them as children,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hug someone they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop it. We say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that cute?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If a typical 17-yearold hugged a stranger, we would stop them.â&#x20AC;? This double standard sets kids up for harm.

Even when students are mainstreamed and attend health class with everyone else, key concepts can easily be missed.

Kids who are disabled are often isolated, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not privy to the casual information thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passed among peers to fill in where adults leave off. Formal explanations may not be concrete enough, and essential information may be overlooked, such as the difference between public and private. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nobrainer for most kids, but some

need to have it specifically explained that masturbating on the school bus, for example, is not OK. Stressing sexual safety is essential. But so is promoting safe, healthy sex, according to Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education that equates sexual abuse with touch is bad because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only half the story,â&#x20AC;? she argues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teaching about the bad touch, but not the good touch.â&#x20AC;? Promoting a positive sexual message isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a matter of mechanics. It also requires unlearning the lessons of a society that considers you asexual.

Allen had what sounds like an ideal upbringing. The twin of a sister who is not disabled, she was mainstreamed from preschool on. Her parents talked openly about sex and made literature on the subject available to the girls. In fact, Allen was the >> 24A

kid who taught everyone else the facts of life. But all that wasn’t enough. “What was missing from my sex education,” she explains, “was viewing myself as sexually desirable.”

She didn’t get that message from boys, because none was ever interested in her romantically, she says. A lifetime filled with frequent medical exams, and the regular experience of being dressed and bathed by others, taught her to disassociate being naked in front of another person with sex. And being accustomed to having professionals physically manipulate her conveyed that she didn’t have the right to privacy, or to have control over her own body.

In addition to adjusting such attitudes, learning sexual satisfaction is all about figuring out what feels good. When lack of feeling — or pain — comes into play, getting it right can

“You’re not going to be able to change what you are, so you might as well work with what you have,” says Ben Brown, a 29-year-old South Burlington man. Like Allen, Brown has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. And like her, he started dating late. He’s been living with 29-year-old Sandy Schacter, his first girlfriend, for four years. Schacter also has CP. She and Brown both asked to use pseudonyms.

“I was the only one in my school who was disabled . . . so I didn’t have any peers to bounce things off of, and there was really no one to relate to,” Brown recalls. “That frustration put all my energy into just getting by. I wasn’t really looking

I do get angry, because I’m sad that I haven’t dated, and I am very much horny, and I do have sexual energy and I have a great personality that I want to share.

take creativity. “People with physical disabilities say they’re able to do their orgasm mentally,” Allen reports. “They can experience sexual arousal in other parts of their bodies and share that with a partner. It’s not just about getting into the missionary position and getting the penis into the vagina.” Loss of feeling below the waist in men doesn’t necessarily equal impotence; erections are automatic physical responses that can still happen, and be enjoyed.

People whose movement is impaired may need help preparing for intimacy — be it dressing (or undressing) for a date, being positioned in bed, or putting on a condom. Assistance may come from a lover — or, for solo sex or when the partner can’t manage — an attendant.

Negotiating such requests is sometimes tricky, and the whole arrangement may sound unromantic, but it can work just fine, suggests Allen. And it’s a lot better than doing without.

“When you have a disability,” she says, “you either roll with the punches and deal with what you’re dealt, or you’re angry all the time. I do get angry,” she adds, “because I’m sad that I

at the social side. By the time I was in college,” he continues, “if someone looked interested in me, they’d get a nudge and a wink from a friend and I’d hear them whispering, ‘He’s in a chair.’ I don’t know if it was a misconception that I couldn’t function.”

Schacter tells a similar story.

“Before I was in college I didn’t run into any disabled people,” she says. “My friends and cousins were all dating. I felt like an outcast.” Although she was friends with boys in her classes, “in terms of romance and courtship, I don’t think I was looked at that way. My main social life was with my parents.”

Brown and Schacter met through an online dating service shortly after he moved out of his parents’ house. For their first date, they met at a restaurant to which Brown could roll alone.

He doesn’t drive, and preferred not to arrange for a ride. “I didn’t want to broadcast that I was going on a date,” he explains. “I wanted some privacy.”

Getting around remains challenging for Brown and Schacter, so they don’t go out very often. Other than that, >> 26A

In 1996, Standen married his high school sweetheart. 2x3-GirlScouts083105.indd 1 8/29/05 12:34:47 PM The couple is currently childless, “but we’re working on that,” he says. “Sexual drive doesn’t dissipate because of a disability. Certainly in my case it didn’t.”

Standen believes he was able to roll right back into his social life following the accident because he was young, a good student and athletic, and because “I didn’t see my disability as a disfigurement or an obstacle.” Supportive family and friends also helped. Most important was his rehabilitation at Craig Hospital, a Colorado institute specializing in spinal-cord injuries.

Standen sees a big difference between how later-onset disabilities are handled here and out West. “In the East they still treat you as someone who’s damaged, and get frustrated because they can’t fix you,” he suggests. “In the West, it’s more practical and hands-on.” At Craig, Standen met people in wheelchairs who were married and sexual and had children. The teenager’s rehabilitation also included sex education and sessions with a sex therapist. “The attitude was just, ‘Here’s what you do,’” he recalls. “I dealt with it as I did a lot of the other issues I did in life. I always just figured that if I wanted to have a full life, I’d be sexual and I’d just have to compensate.”

Standen says attitudes also differ between the genders.

“Men say, ‘You can’t get it up, can you? I would kill myself if I were you.’” But Rutland Regional provides every woman with MammoPad – a soft, foam pad that when Standen returned to creates a cushion between you and the mammography machine.

hen Joy Scott and Seth Maley were told that their daughter Lisa was autistic, the news hit hard. Like many parents in their predicament, they were confused, overwhelmed and terrified, as if their daughter STORY had just been handed a death sentence.

KEN Initially, the diagnosis was hard to PICARD believe. As a toddler, Lisa had seemed so sociable, Scott recalls. She laughed a lot, IMAGE had a healthy sense of humor, and loved STEFAN people. As her mother puts it, “She was BUMBECK our delicious 2-and-a-half-year-old.”

But as with many children diagnosed Screening with an Autism Spectrum Disorder — an of the film umbrella term that covers a range of Living the developmental disabilities involving delays Autism Maze or impairments in language, behavior and will be on Saturday, social skills — Lisa’s early childhood was September 17, also plagued with medical issues.

helped her self-regulate and “prune away” the most obvious behaviors associated with autism. Today, Lisa is a veritable poster child for early intervention and how it can improve the lives of autistic children.

“When I thought about autism, I thought of a life without imagination,” Scott recalls about her early misconceptions. “But in fact, Lisa is very expressive, through music and dance and theater and telling stories.”

In large measure, her success can be credited to the quick timing of the diagnosis. According to autism experts, that’s a key factor in determining how far an autistic child can progress. Today, the goal in Vermont is to identify the disorder as quickly as possible and begin intervention as early as age 2. Once that occurs, parents can turn to the growing network of Vermont parents who have already learned to navigate the confusing and often treacherous world of autism treatment and education.

“Once you get the diagnosis, you really have to hit the street running,” says Maley. “You don’t have time to process grief. You don’t have time to look around you. There’s a time window where the early intervention can be of maximum benefit. And that’s a fairly close one, depending upon the age of your child.”

Like other parents in their shoes, Scott and Maley quickly became experts on the subject, reading as many books and articles as they could get their hands on.

Several years ago, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill ominously described Vermont’s autism rate as climbing at a “near infinite” pace.

Scott visited Parent to Parent of Vermont. The nonprofit matches a family dealing with a disability with another family with experience facing the same disorder.

“That was the first place I cried,” recalls Scott. She still gets emotional talking about it six years later. “I didn’t want people to feel like they should treat me with kid gloves because I was going to burst into tears. I wanted the truth, and I didn’t want it sugar-coated.”

Today, Scott and Maley are active members in that informal club of parents with autistic children. By all measures, membership in that club is growing fast. Vermont’s autism rate has climbed dramatically in the last 15 years, from six cases in 199293 to 160 in 2000-01, according to U.S. Department of Educa- tion figures.

Admittedly, some of that increase is due to better diagnostic tools and evolving theories about what constitutes a mental disorder. Many children diagnosed today with an Autism Spectrum Disorder would have been labeled mentally retarded 10 years ago. Moreover, federal reporting of state autism rates wasn’t mandated until 1991. As a result, experts caution that

comparing figures from 2005 to 1991 is like comparing apples and oranges.

Nevertheless, a debate rages in the medical and psychiatric communities about whether autism’s meteoric rise actually constitutes an epidemic. Ten years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics estimated that one in 2500 children suffered from autism. Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put the figure at one in 166. Several years ago, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill ominously described Vermont’s autism rate as climbing at a “near infinite” pace.

But despite more than 10,000 journal articles written on the subject in the last two decades, the causes of autism are still unknown.

Everything from genetics to the overuse of antibiotics to the global saturation of environmental toxins has been blamed. One leading theory is that autism may be caused by early childhood exposure to Thimerosal, a mercurybased preservative used in many childhood vaccines.

Is autism curable? That depends upon your definition of a cure, says Dr. Tom Ruffle, a developmental pediatrician with >> 31A 3x10-vtcares091405.indd 1

the Vermont Health Department’s Child Development Unit. Ruffle, the doctor who diagnosed Lisa’s autism at age 3, calls autism “a medical diagnosis with an educational treatment” that can, in his words, be “cured.”

“It’s well documented in the literature that 50 to 55 percent of the kids, if they’re given an intensive early-intervention program, are able to function at age 7 in the school classroom without any supports,” he says.

While Ruffle acknowledges that those children will still have residual problems throughout their lives, “with intensive early intervention programs, there’s real hope.”

In Vermont, however, hope is often mitigated by geography.

George agrees with Ruffle that the biggest challenge parents face in Vermont is the lack of autism experts in the schools. Too often, she says, districts are either unwilling or financially unable to bring in outside resources, relying instead on inexperienced or under-trained paraeducators to provide those services.

“So, in some districts, your child is a guinea pig,” George says, “and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, and you’ve wasted a lot of that child’s educational time.”

Lisa was fortunate in that she lives in Burlington and had access to well-trained autism interventionists close by, such as those at the Autism Spectrum Program at the Baird Center in Burlington and the

term use of that money?” As a result, the district brought in outside autism experts from Baird to train its staff so that these students could receive ongoing attention as they make their way through the system.

In fact, a new documentary coming out this week profiles six Vermont families and their challenges in getting autism services for their children.

Living the Autism Maze premieres this week at the Roxy Theater in Burlington. (For more information on the film, see this week’s “Flick Chick” on page 60A.) For her part, Scott is hopeful about Lisa’s future. What was once a terrifying and potentially disabling diagnosis has become cause for optimism. In fact, last

Ruffle also points out that, unlike other states, Vermont has no school specifically devoted to autistic children; the state’s priority is to mainstream these students into the public schools. But services throughout Vermont remain spotty, he says, as does expertise within school districts.

Ruffle believes that autistic children can thrive in a public school setting, provided they receive intensive one-on-one intervention from an early age.

Lynn George is a co-founder of Autism Support Daily, an information clearinghouse and support group for Vermont parents of children with autism.

The group, which maintains an online discussion forum at its website — www.AutismSupport Daily.com — has about 160 members statewide. ASD also holds monthly meetings and events in Chittenden and Addison counties.

Philo Center for Sensory Based Evaluation and Treatment in Shelburne. Moreover, Scott credits the Burlington School District and acting Superintendent Lisane Collins for their emphasis on providing intensive autism services.

But Burlington pays a steep price for those services. Collins, who once coordinated an autism program in Scottsdale, Arizona, admits that the cost of intensive one-on-one services can be prohibitive. About three years ago, Burlington’s population of 3- to 5-year-olds with autism jumped from two students to 10.

Autism is now the district’s fastest growing disability.

“If you have 10 kids, like we did, showing up at $36,000 per kid for an unbudgeted $360,000 hit, you start asking, OK, I need to meet the needs of these kids,” Collins explains.

“But is there a better, longer-

summer she and Maley told their daughter that she was autistic. Rather than getting upset, Lisa was excited to learn all about it. Scott, who now works for Families, Infants and Toddlers, a federally funded program for young children with developmental disabilities, says her family takes comfort in knowing that others with autism have overcome their disability and gone on to live normal and successful lives.

“I’m convinced Lisa is a child who, if she didn’t get the intervention she got from age 3 to 6, would have eventually become a full-time ward of the state,” Scott says. “But on the contrary, I think she’s now a kid who will go to college, get married and work all through her life.” She adds, “They don’t even know how far these kids can go.” m

ill and JoAnn Boyce like to travel, but for years they stuck close to home. It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to take trips; the retired Underhill residents had a hard time getting out because of JoAnn’s multiple sclerosis.

Diagnosed in 1982, the affable homemaker can no longer walk; she gets around in a motorized wheelchair.

Staying home was particularly hard for her energetic husband, an avid outdoorsman; the couple’s basement is filled with mounted antlers and turkey beards. A bearskin hangs on the wall.

One day in March 2001, shortly after Bill retired from his job as a manager at IBM, he and JoAnn drove to a recreational vehicle showroom in Montpelier. They got the idea to buy an RV from John and Ramona LaBrie, another couple in their MS support group, who raved about theirs. The Boyces found a salesman, and explained their situation. “I told him, ‘We haven’t been anywhere in five years because of accessibility issues,’” Bill recalls.

He asked the salesman if he might be able to locate a model like the one his friends had, a 34-foot Bounder with a walk-through bathroom, which could be modified to suit JoAnn’s needs. Coincidentally, only two hours earlier the salesman had accepted on consignment an identical vehicle, complete with all the modifications they were seeking.

“We bought it that April,” says Bill, “and we’ve been traveling ever since.” A colorful U.S. map in the RV’s kitchen shows they’ve been to 28 states. “And,” he adds, “Alberta and British Columbia.”

This month, the Boyces will drive their RV to the annual national rally of the Handicapped Travel Club.

They won’t have to go far — along with the LaBries, they are the “Wagon Masters” for this year’s event, to be held September 28 to October 2 at Lone Pine Campsites in Colchester. Disabled campers, their families and caregivers will gather from all over the country to swap stories, trade tips, and enjoy each other’s

company; the club’s motto is “for fun and fellowship.” JoAnn Boyce looks forward to the wheelchair races, though she won’t be competing. “No, not me, no thank you,” she quips. “I just watch ’em. They go crazy.”

Advocacy isn’t officially on the agenda, but rally participants will also be drawing attention to the issue of campground accessibility. “I think we do that just by being there,” Bill notes.

He and his wife are among the HTC’s 250 members. Five disabled couples from California and Texas founded the club in 1973. According to the HTC website — http://www. handicappedtravelclub.com — “These couples had received so much therapy from travel and the association with campers with disabilities, they decided to form a club which would encourage other handicapped people to travel, to meet, and to exchange ideas.”

Today, its members are mostly RV- or camper-owning couples, who pay $10 to join and $8 in annual dues. In return, they receive a quar-

terly newsletter, and are invited to RV rallies all over the country. Last year’s gathering was in Toppenish, Washington; next year’s is scheduled for Sullivan, Indiana.

Boyce reports that he’s registered 19 RVs for the Vermont rally; three others, all from Texas, cancelled their plans to come on account of Hurricane Katrina. Boyce admits that if the rally were on the West Coast this year, he and JoAnn probably wouldn’t have made it. Gas prices are pretty high, he says — his Bounder gets just seven miles per gallon. And they’d really be stuck if there were suddenly a shortage.

Though it’s not exactly fuel-efficient, Boyce’s late-’80s model RV is clearly a prized possession. It’s parked beside the couple’s modest home on a rural dirt road.

Boyce points out the ways in which it differs from a standard RV. First there’s the chair lift — JoAnn can’t climb into the vehicle, so before a trip, Boyce must retrieve the components of the lift from compart-

He fixes it in place and sits down to demonstrate, raising himself with a red, handheld controller. “I put her in the chair, she goes up,” he explains.

Once JoAnn’s inside, Bill can help her into the passenger’s chair, which has been altered so that it swivels back to face the cabin. The cabin itself is fairly roomy — one of the chairs was repositioned to provide additional space, and one of the beds was removed. JoAnn’s wheelchair fits easily at the table.

Boyce also moved their bed, to make it easier for JoAnn to get in and out. And he notes

that the bathroom has been modified as well. The shower contains a large metal and plastic bench. There are metal railings around the toilet.

Boyce observes that these accommodations are similar to what they might find in a hotel room. But JoAnn says staying in an RV is “better than a hotel.”

Says Bill, “Although many hotels have got accessible rooms, every one is different.” This is a problem, since his wife suffers from cognitive loss, which means she can become confused when confronted with a changing environment. “With the motor home, once she gets used to how

she’s doing it, it’s the same across the country,” he notes. “She feels at home. She feels safe, like she does in her own house.”

Having an accessible bathroom inside the RV is a necessity. Despite the requirements laid out in the Americans with Disabilities Act, many campgrounds still present barriers to wheelchair users. Just 73 of Vermont’s 111 campgrounds offer at least partly accessible facilities; only nine of those define themselves as “fully accessible.” Maurice Barnes of the Vermont Campground Association, and long-time >> 35A

owner of Lakeside Camping in Island Pond, calls Vermont campgrounds’ efforts “mediocre.”

Bill Boyce shares that sentiment. “Vermont doesn’t have a lot of RV places that are accessible, as compared to other states,” he says. There isn’t a single Vermont campground on the HTC list of recommended sites, though that may be because HTC members don’t travel much in the state. Sites get added to the list when HTC members who have stayed at a site fill out a worksheet on the group’s website.

The reviewers look for large, level sites, and hook ups on solid ground — sand or crushed rock can be treacherous in a wheelchair. They want to see ramps and doors wide enough to fit wheelchairs leading into camp facilities. Since not all HTCers have baths aboard their RVs, they also look for accessible rest rooms. Showers, say the group’s guidelines, shouldn’t have steps or curbs, and fixtures should be within reach for someone who’s seated.

The HTC realizes these modifications can be costly.

They offer tips to campground owners on the website. “One consideration is to not redo existing bathrooms,” they suggest, “but to build one toilet/shower room to be used by both sexes.”

The first campground where Boyce had booked the rally probably won’t make the HTC list. He declines to name names, but says the owner told him it would meet his specifications.

When he visited in the spring, however, he discovered otherwise. “Getting into the washrooms, there was a four-inch lip,” he says, exasperated. And the sole path to their meeting site was covered in gravel. “You wouldn’t dare take a powered scooter down there,” he says.

“Somebody would go over.”

Lone Pine Campsites might make it, though. Boyce praises their facilities, particularly its bathrooms. “They’re probably as nice as I’ve seen anywhere,” he says.

But even Lone Pine isn’t perfect. A cursory walk-through reveals a two-inch lip on the laundry room’s only door. And some of the hookups at the sites the HTC will use aren’t on level ground.

According to Lone Pine camp-store manager Jonica King, the handicapped campers who visit often express their gratitude that some facilities are accessible. She says they don’t get many, and they’ve certainly never had such a large group of disabled campers before.

HTC newsletter editor and webmaster Arnie Pike insists there’s strength in numbers.

Pike, who lives in Placentia,

California, uses a wheelchair as a result of a stroke he suffered six years ago. He won’t be attending the Vermont rally, but says he’s interested in this year’s agenda — the club will likely vote to amend its bylaws, officially broadening its membership to include handicapped travelers who don’t own RVs. Pike doesn’t have one. The retired event planner uses a modified van instead. He travels in it often, sometimes with his able-bodied wife, sometimes alone. “Wherever I go,” he says, “I look out for things that are not right, as far as ADA.” Pike recently complained to Amtrak because he was forced to spend an entire trip in a dim, windowless area near the baggage.

They sent him a refund, and two travel vouchers.

He would like to see the HTC expand beyond campgrounds, to include all kinds of travel. “I would like to see us go in groups,” he says, “and demand that whatever trip we take is handicap accessible.” As a group, he says, “we’ll have more clout.”

Though it departs somewhat from the club’s original mission, that kind of thinking is certainly compatible with HTC’s fundamental philosophy, which is expressed in the acronym G.O.A.L. It appears on their website, and on the back of HTC t-shirts. It stands for, “Get Out And Live.” m

Sick and Tired A first-person account of surviving chronic fatigue syndrome

hronic fatigue syndrome is a lousy name for an even lousier disease. Decent grammarchecking software will flag both “chronic” and “syndrome” as hackneyed jargon, and suggest changes. As for “fatigue,” well, STORY everybody gets tired, right?

ELISABETH What is it like to spend nearly your CREAN entire adult life disabled by an invisible illness, one whose name engenders more disIMAGE belief and derision than compassion or fear?

STEFAN How do you keep your sense of self — not BUMBECK to mention humor — during a 16-year battle with a mean-spirited microbe?

I got sick 10 days before my 26th birthday. At first it just seemed like an explainable bout of exhaustion. I’d recently wrapped up two stressful years of teaching at an East Coast boarding school. Under a crushing workload, I’d averaged five hours of sleep a night. No wonder I was worn out.

C

a few hours a week left to have a life. I found a quiet studio apartment on the grounds of an idyllic Hollywood Hills estate, complete with large pool and lighted tennis court. A close friend from college who lived five minutes away frequently dropped by to subject me to his wicked forehand, or take me to the movies.

I dragged myself through almost an entire school year. Symptoms mounted, but at the time I didn’t connect them as parts of a larger whole. Tired? Get more sleep. Muscles and joints stiff? Get more exercise. Headaches?

Just stress. Walking into walls and dropping things? Clumsiness. Individually, each problem could be rationalized.

But the fatigue, which had ebbed and flowed in unpredictable tides since the summer, started to swamp every aspect of my life. There were near-narcoleptic episodes —

CFS can be a little nuclear plant of pain.

But the rougher lesson was that people have an even greater power to make others suffer.

But I couldn’t seem to catch up on my rest when I returned to Honolulu, my home-town. I developed a fever and a sore throat. I felt achy and had difficulty concentrating. The flu in June? No time for that; in a few weeks the summer session would be starting at Punahou, where I was in charge of the European History program.

I met the other teachers for lunch a few days before orientation. In my sleeveless cotton dress at the over-air-conditioned restaurant, I couldn’t stop sweating. I also couldn’t think straight or articulate my thoughts. There was so much to do. I just wanted to sleep.

My new job that fall in Los Angeles suited me perfectly: a tony day school where I could concentrate on teaching and still have

falling asleep while putting on makeup, mascara wand squashed between hand and cheek; and several close calls while driving home from work. More than once, I had to pull over at a market, stumble through the aisle for some grapes — thinking maybe my blood sugar was low — and doze in the parking lot before finishing the drive home.

By spring, I was practically on an IV drip of Diet Coke, downing three or four cans before my first class. Some days, even that much caffeine wouldn’t conjure coherence, so I gave the students quiet time to do homework while I quaffed more Coke and pretended to work. I skipped afterschool commitments, so I could get home and into bed as soon as possible. I stopped eating

VHFA dinner because I was too tired to shop, let alone cook.

My thinking was so muddled that I couldn’t see how sick I’d become. One day in May 1990, a concerned student noticed that I was pale, perspiring and confused. She pulled me aside.

“Miss Crean, maybe you have mono.” She took me to a phone and helped me call a doctor.

That was the last day I would be employed in a full-time job.

Luckily, the doctor who had seen me a few times that year — and who had treated me essentially as a stressed-out, hysterical female — was out of town. The insurance company sent me that afternoon to another doctor, who immediately knew something was seriously wrong. He ordered a battery of tests and told me not to return to work until we had some answers.

As I waited for the results, my mother read to me over the phone an article that had just appeared in Time magazine. It described exactly how I had been feeling for 11 months, listing the physical, neurological and cognitive symptoms that had taken over my life. I’d never heard of chronic fatigue syndrome before.

The name of the illness itself has been a source of endless grief and controversy. In the United States, CFS is also called “chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome” (CFIDS), because the immune system behaves abnormally —usually it is overactive, which may be a key source of the fatigue.

(When you have the flu, it’s not the virus that tires you but your body’s immune response to it.)

In England and Australia, CFS is called “myalgic encephalomyelitis,” which emphasizes the muscle pain and neurological disturbances.

In the early 1990s, the difficulty of being disabled by an illness no one could see was compounded by the media’s destructive label for CFS: “yuppie flu.” The nickname suggested the condition was a trendy excuse for burned-out professionals to quit their highpowered jobs. It reinforced the “it’s-all-in-your-head” diagnosis that many patients were hearing from doctors, and diverted scarce medical resources to disproving theories of psychological causes.

In 1999, the first large-scale prevalence study turned the “yuppie” myth on its head.

Researchers at DePaul University found that whites and professionals had the lowest incidence of CFS. The highest rate by far was among Latinos, followed by blacks; skilled blue-collar workers and unskilled workers both outpaced those with white-collar >> 38A

jobs. Women proved three times as likely to get CFS than men, a rate similar to other systemic illnesses with neurologic and auto-immune components. The study showed there were at least 800,000 people with CFS in the United States.

The most shocking finding: 90 percent of all patients were not properly diagnosed or receiving treatment. There is no test for CFS; the biological agent that triggers it has yet to be identified.

Diagnosis is a process of excluding other illnesses that can cause similar extreme debilitation and pain, such as cancer, lupus, Lyme disease and multiple sclerosis.

The American health-care system does not reward this kind of primary-care detective work, let alone the creative long-term management of a chronic illness. And as my experience shows, even someone who is health-conscious and well-educated and has access to medical care can explain away the diffuse and confusing symptoms for far too long.

9/9/05 1:11:45 PM

At age 42, it feels strange to say my life’s main accomplishment has been: “I survived.” It’s hard to recount the journey without sounding self-pitying or selfserving. Survival took liberal applications of some personal qualities that in other circumstances might be counted as flaws: willfulness, stubbornness and defiance of authority.

I inherited my mulishness from my mom — and without her I might have died. I moved home to Hawaii so she could care for me, and spent years existing at about 3 percent of my pre-illness energy level. That allowed me to get myself to the bathroom. To feed myself, with someone else preparing the food. To brush my teeth, most days, sitting on a stool. And to shower, if someone else was home in case I fell.

The list of what I couldn’t do encompassed just about everything else. Reading and watching TV were too cognitively demanding. The briefest phone conversations exhausted me. Even wearing clothes became difficult. My muscles and joints were in so much pain that any contact with my skin was agony. I couldn’t wear a watch for years.

A cruel hallmark of CFS is nonrefreshing sleep. In my case, CFS threw in a host of other disorders: insomnia, early waking, night sweats. Drugs only worsen long-term sleep problems, so I made an intensive commitment to extreme “sleep hygiene.” We purged the bedroom of everything but the bed and the fur-bearing mammals, creating an oasis for practicing relaxation techniques to calm my misfiring neurons and soothe my pain-racked body.

Improving the quality of my sleep took years, but it was the first major health obstacle I was able to overcome. Restorative sleep cleared much of the brain fog, and the worst of the cognitive and neurological symptoms slowly resolved. My energy level gradually increased. Gingerly, I began to use gentle exercise to moderate the muscle and joint pain.

Reading and watching TV were too cognitively demanding. The briefest phone conversations exhausted me. Even wearing clothes became difficult.

The toughest obstacles, however, weren’t medical. In part because the severity of an “invisible disability” was difficult to quantify, the biggest struggle was getting help — from doctors, insurance companies, Social Security, even family. Insurers refused to pay benefits. Social Security required reams of documentation, then left my disability claim unprocessed for three years.

My father and brother largely removed themselves from my life.

I realized only in retrospect that a fundamental shift had occurred in the way in which society viewed me. Institutions and even some individuals saw disability as an opportunity to ignore or devalue a fellow human being.

Some of this behavior was unconscious, caused by ignorance or thoughtlessness. But some of it is deliberate exploitation: the longterm disability insurer with coordinated pressure tactics designed to purge a disabled policyholder; the modern-day snake-oil salesmen masquerading at support groups as “recovered” patients in order to hawk their products.

CFS can be a little nuclear plant of pain. But the rougher lesson was that people have an even greater power to make others suffer.

I’m doing much better now, but it’s been a long road. I’m back to about 30 to 35 percent of my normal energy level, and live independently. I still knock things over all the time, and have to chop veggies slowly so I don’t end up with a fingertip in the stir fry. Modestly vigorous exercise — walking, swimming, biking — helps me manage the muscle and joint pain.

Daily stretching is a must if I don’t want to freeze up like the Tin Man after a rain storm.

I’m frustrated, though, because now that I’m getting better, I want more. A recent series of foot injuries has crystallized my intolerance to setbacks. Ironically, my

cast and crutches elicited more sympathy and understanding than I received during the decade and a half when I lived with CFS. It’s also ironic that now that I’m out in the world, I feel more alone than ever. In my thirties I missed the landmarks — partnering, procreating, being productive — that usually come along the road. Being among people who have those relationships and accomplishments accentuates just how solitary my journey has been.

I’ve been locked on the CFS train by myself, slowly chugging away from the rest of society.

Sometimes it feels like I’m pressing my nose to the window glass, watching other people living their lives on the other side.

After all these years, I realize my face is barely recognizable to the few people who remember the more impish, carefree Lisa: the goto girl for an impromptu skinny dip; the tennis player who made up for a lousy serve by charging the net with fearless abandon. As I lumber back, I need to find new ways to cultivate that inner wildness, to test the boundaries my health still imposes. Any friends I make will want more than a teetotaling Rip Van Winkle. On the other hand, the new version of me is in some ways better: I am far more compassionate, my priorities are firmly centered, my values more deeply rooted.

I came to Vermont seven years ago, not knowing a soul and having previously spent only one afternoon in Burlington. Coming here was about moving on from the scene of the illness’ darkest hours, and challenging myself to adapt to a new environment. The former island girl has ended up on a Champlain island, where six months a year the beaches are covered in snow and the “surf” is glassy. But for a month or so the lake temperatures are tolerable even to a Hawaiian. Now I just need to stick my toe back in the water. m

merica loves second acts, but it also likes third, fourth and fifth ones. Just look at the life of Mark Twain. Born Samuel Longhorne Clemens in the tiny hamlet of Florida, Missouri, in 1835, the country’s funniest STORY writer appears to have been the busiest as JOHN well. During his life Clemens was a FREEMAN Mississippi river-boat pilot, a journalist, a traveling lecturer, raconteur, lover, society Mark Twain: host, publisher and passionate critic of A Life by American imperialism. Sometimes all at once.

Ron Powers.

Along the way, he also wrote three novels New York: that became American classics.

Free Press, 722 pages.

Most Twain biographies have concentrat$35. ed on his personality or literary production, and sometimes on his towering celebrity.

Middlebury writer Ron Powers has finally gone after the whole man, from the prankloving youngster to the turn-of-the-century expatriate; from the billiard-playing layabout to the obsessive workaholic determined not to die in debt. The result is Mark Twain: A Life, a magisterial book that may not replace Justin Kaplan’s 1966 biography but almost certainly will become the go-to guide for readers wanting to learn as much as they can about the man in a single volume.

And what a read it is. As Robert Caro has done with Lyndon Johnson, Powers takes a deep draught of that fragrant air surrounding his subject and turns his prose into an homage to his subject. Take a gander at this first sentence: The prairie in its loneliness and peace: that was what came back to him toward the end of his life, after he had pulled the rug out from under all the literary nabobs, and fired off all his nubs and snappers, and sashayed through all the nations, and collected all his ceremonial gowns and degrees, and tweaked all the grinning presidents, and schmoozed all the newspaper reporters, and stuck it to all his enemies, and shocked all the libraries, and cried out all his midnight blasphemies, and buried most of his family.

OK, “sashayed” might be a bit over-thetop, but so was Clemens. From an early age he wanted to live, and he did. When he left home at the age of 18, “it was as if he had launched himself by slingshot,” writes Powers. Over the next year Clemens traveled 2000 miles and visited three cities, living entirely by his wits. He set type in St. Louis and in New York, where he was paid “23 cents per 1000 ems.” He didn’t like East Coast people. They were “whisky-swilling, God-despising heathens,” Clemens wrote to his brother Orion. He soon returned to the

Midwest, but didn’t stay for long.

Clemens’ perambulations grow more interesting with each page, as he begins to write about his travels, transforming them into observations, tales and fabulous fibs.

Thanks to the Mark Twain project at the University of California at Berkeley, many of these letters and journals are available, and Powers is a master at citing them. For example, though Clemens’ evolution from typesetter to river-boat captain is somewhat vague, his reaction to 1200 miles of the Mississippi isn’t, as we learn in a letter he sent to Pamela Moffett in 1859.

The face of the water in time, became a wonderful book — a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice.

Of course, in time, Samuel Clemens learned how to channel that voice, and in doing so became Mark Twain. The journey between the two is the meat of Powers’ book. It is exhaustively researched, well told and refreshingly comfortable with contradictions. Twain appears to have wanted to do everything at once. He read voraciously — Pepys, Carlyle, Cervantes, Plutarch — and traveled widely. He ran away from the Civil War and Ulysses S. Grant (whose memoirs he would later publish) and wound up in Nevada, where he laid claims for timber ground, learned to write, and adopted his nom de plume.

Over the next decade, the name Mark Twain would become Clemens’ entrée to all sorts of experiences. In March 1866, he boarded a steamer for Hawaii, which he would write about for The Sacramento Union and incorporate into his second book, Roughing It. These experiences fed his stage show, which he soon kicked off in San Francisco, and paved the way for bigger jaunts. By 1867 Twain had catapulted himself to France, Russia and the Holy Lands.

Frantic subjects have a way of making their biographers pushovers. That’s hardly the case here, since Powers is forever pausing Twain in his itinerary and culling more intimate thoughts from his welter of get-rich schemes and publishing imbroglios.

Powers, incidentally, is from Hannibal, Missouri, the town where Clemens/Twain spent most of his boyhood, and he displays a native’s understanding for how to let his narrative pool and eddy without getting brackish. Within a hundred pages, Twain’s

4x7-partythanks.pdf

childhood is gone and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on his way to becoming famous, but Powers ably circles back over and again, reminding readers of the shadow cast by Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early death, in a steamboat accident.

Mining Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters, Powers emerges with a complex man who created an entire persona to keep the world at bay.

The most interesting bits of Powersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bio counter our image of a charming, whip-smart humorist who played to the crowd. By 1874, Twain was a full-fledged celebrity besieged with requests for help and advice, and even money. Here is how he answered one particularly pushy woman: Madam: Your distress would move the heart of a statue. Indeed, it would move the entire statue if it were on rollers . . . I never have heard of a case so bitter as yours.

Nothing in the world between you & starvation but a lucrative literary situation, a few diamonds & things, & three thousand seven hundred dollars worth of town property. How you must suffer.

Twain could be humorous, but often at othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense. At one point he suggested his brother Orion try writing two books Twain himself wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to get to: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Autobiography of a Coward,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he wrote to Orion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;& the other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Confessions of a Life that was a Failure.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? What are we supposed to make of this rather meanspirited, gloating gentleman, who was throwing money at everything? Twain spent $10,000 so that The Prince and the Pauper had the best paper stock and a lavish cover.

Were it not for the downward turn of Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes, it would be easy to find him a bit of a blowhard. Gradually, though, the soil began to crumble beneath him. Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house burned on several occasions, and he built it back finer and grander each time. That was OK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by 1880 he was earning $250,000 a year. But he began to spend more than he earned.

Twain traveled back to the river to get hold of himself, and wrote one of his best books, Life on the Mississippi. But afterwards he went right back to the entrepreneurial life that had run him ragged, and with the same lack of success as before.

By 1894, Twain had to declare bankruptcy. He paid off his debt and restored his fortune with an 1895 world tour. But success was not to be savored. In 1896 he learned of his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, from meningitis.

Twain lived another 14 years, but his best work was behind him, and his joy clouded. Travel began to enervate him. Twain died in 1908 at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stormfield,â&#x20AC;? the Italianate villa he had built just a few years prior in Redding, Connecticut. He had been reading Seutonius, the Roman biographer who was briefly private secretary to Emperor Hadrian.

Twain might have hoped his own biographer would be as thorough and thoughtful as was the ancient Roman. In which case, he can rest easily now. m

ollege radio is one of the last bastions of independence on the American airwaves. This is especially true in the Green Mountains, where both autonomy and community are still highly valued ideals. While much of the STORY dial has been overtaken by corporate beheCASEY moths, the University of Vermont’s 90.1 REA WRUV continues to deliver seat-of-the-pants, freeform radio. The station’s long-running IMAGE live music program, “Exposure,” is one of its MATTHEW most popular offerings.

THORSEN Running on duct tape and dedication for almost two decades, the show has a pedigree “Exposure,” rivaling that of even the most storied rock PMon 90.1 PageWRUV, 1 clubs. Many local performers consider playing is broadcast every Wednesday, on “Exposure” to be an important rite of passage, a proper introduction to the Burlington 6-8 p.m. scene. The program broadcasts each Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. — give or take.

Remember, this is live, college radio, not some “time-is-money” corporate appendage.

The official history of “Exposure” is somewhat difficult to piece together. Back in the early ’80s, local musician Brett Hughes was an WRUV DJ who “broadcast as much live music as possible,” he says.

Although Hughes’ show wasn’t called “Exposure,” it probably served as a prototype. Local musicians such as The N-Zones’ Zoot Wilson and Dan Archer, as well as national acts such as Taj Mahal and Townes Van Zandt, stopped by to chat and jam. “I wasn’t very organized, but I managed to get some groups in the studio,” recalls Hughes, now 46.

“Exposure” became an official show in the mid-’80s, when then-college-student Eric Bradford was a DJ. “For every show I would try to enlist whatever help I could,” he says. “I had to do the sound myself a few times. But I also had friends who would help out. There was Darrell Bussino, who went on to do live sound for the Rollins Band and Lisa Loeb, and Peter Katis, who engineered both Interpol records,” adds Bradford, 38.

After he moved to California, his “protégé” Charles Buckley took over. “I did the sound for The Spin Doctors,” says the 37year-old Buckley, who now works as a vice president at the Massachusetts-based State Street Bank. “They played acoustic, with the drummer keeping the beat by banging on

some turntables. The singer was the only one that could hear anything through the headphones. I also remember them requesting on-air that someone with ‘Vermont homegrown’ meet them in front of the station.” Buckley debunks one popularly held notion about the program’s history. “For the record, Phish never played on ‘Exposure,’” he says.

Subsequent hosts included Dennis Wygman, whom many remember as coowner of the once-popular Burlington venue Club Toast. There may have been others, but since the show didn’t keep any official records for most of its existence, it’s tough to know for sure.

Since 2003, “Exposure” has been managed by two enterprising and energetic music enthusiasts, Jeremy Ayers, 30, and Dan Cypress, 31. “The partnership is that I book and host the show, and Dan runs the sound,” Ayers says. By and large, the program is a labor of love. “We’re adults now, we’re very busy, and WRUV runs on a shoestring,” Ayers explains.

He’s an elementary school art teacher in Richmond, as well as a pottery and ceramics instructor. A tall, handsome fellow with a shaved head and quizzical demeanor, Ayers has been fascinated with the idea of live radio since he was a teenager. “I listened to the show in high school, when my friends’ bands played on it,” he says. “It’s still the same placement, same band room — WRUV’s the same exact place.”

Cypress does freelance sound work and hopes to open a kosher deli in Burlington in the near future. With his horn-rimmed glasses and prep-school haircut, he could almost be mistaken for a member of poprock band Weezer. His introduction to the exhilaration of mixing live radio came about when local band Deep Soda personally requested him to run their sound during a 2003 appearance. “They were pretty nervous, ’cause they’re such perfectionists,” Cypress says. “So I went in with them, and I just fell in love with the idea from there.”

Although Ayers and Cypress are steeped in college-radio culture, neither attended UVM. “I was a DJ and business manager of the University of Delaware’s station,” Cypress explains. “That’s where I first got

SEVEN DAYS | september 14-21, 2005 | feature 43A interested in college radio.â&#x20AC;? While Ayers has never lived on the UVM campus, WRUV has become his second home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a DJ on the station starting in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;92, just before my senior year at Colchester High School,â&#x20AC;? he says proudly.

During a recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exposureâ&#x20AC;? broadcast, the studio is bristling with manic energy. WRUV is a cramped enclave of rooms, located in the basement of the Billings Student Center. Stickers, posters and announcements cover nearly every inch of wall space, and CDs are everywhere. During live music sets, the band roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large double doors are propped open, â&#x20AC;&#x153;exposingâ&#x20AC;? each group to the collegiate hallway.

A couple of couches have been pulled up, tempting passersby to cop a squat. Occasionally they do.

Tonight, local hard-rock trio Lightning Ridge is scheduled to take over the airwaves. The floor of the band room is a serpentine mess of cables and connectors, which Cypress deftly navigates.

Lightning Ridge guitarist and vocalist Ethan Ryea seems ready to roll, but since his group has arrived late, the show is running behind schedule.

Now back in the control room, Cypress tweaks the knobs on a prized new piece of equipment, appropriately called the Mix Wizard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethan, give me your full volume,â&#x20AC;? he says, communicating

Cypress, entering the DJ booth, concurs. For these two in this moment, everything is right in the world.

The list of bands that have played on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exposureâ&#x20AC;? is staggering. More than 90 acts, including Mickey Western, the Ryan Power Trio, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Jugtown Pirates and the Loyalists, performed in the course of last season alone. This year the show will reach similar numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m booked through November,â&#x20AC;?

Ayers says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And most of the groups that play want to come back.â&#x20AC;?

Local indie-pop songsmith Colin Clary is a regular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost count of how many times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the program,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an institution. I remember being aware of it even before I was playing in bands.â&#x20AC;?

Burlington cartoonist and rock superstar James Kochalka is another vet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of my earliest performances were on WRUV,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just show up and cajole whatever DJ was on the air into letting us play a few songs.

Eventually, we graduated to playing a scheduled slot, which was, of course, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Exposureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show.â&#x20AC;?

Kochalka still enjoys rocking the dial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real feeling of power when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being broadcast over the airwaves,â&#x20AC;? he

One weekend a month,

via microphone through a scratched and stickered pane of Plexiglas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sing that quietly in real life.â&#x20AC;?

While Cypress thoroughly, if frantically, finishes the sound check, Ayers conducts some lastminute Internet research in the DJ booth. As showtime nears, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happily Googling away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to look around online to see what I can find out about the band before we go on,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps me sound like I actually know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about.â&#x20AC;?

After locating Lightning Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, Ayers draws up a short list of questions for the group, mostly focusing on recent and upcoming gigs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done this countless times before and seems perfectly relaxed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty comfortable with the interviews,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More so than they are, I think.â&#x20AC;?

After a brief intro from Ayers, Lightning Ridge tear into their balls-out, arena-ready rock. Ryea is in fine form, belting out metal falsettos and blistering leads. The host nods in approval, a huge grin spreading across his face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it sounds pretty good,â&#x20AC;? he says.

explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going wild and just making stuff up as you go along.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the freewheeling, anything-goes vibe of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exposure,â&#x20AC;? the FCC still lays down the law about what is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit for broadcast.

Swearing, of course, is a no-no.

Led Loco, a Burlington band known for its ribald musical routine, managed to find a creative way around the rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just thought of new ways to curse,â&#x20AC;? says Eric Olsen, guitarist and vocalist for Loco and Swale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fut that bucking fitch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You know the drill.â&#x20AC;?

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to showcase upcoming bands seems to work out well for all parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as a promotional tool, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising,â&#x20AC;? Olsen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Swale played, we actually got put in re-runs. When they re-broadcast it this summer as part of a best-of series, [WRUV] got a veritable avalanche of mail.â&#x20AC;?

A compilation disc of the best performances from the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent past will be released later this year. And feedback â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the good kind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is likely to keep on coming. m

Dizzy Reed

joined Guns N’ Roses as their fulltime keyboardist. Over the last decade, bandleader (and sole original member) Axl Rose has labored over the group’s as-yet-unreleased new record, leaving Reed with a lot of down time. To keep busy, he assembled Hookers ’n’ Blow, a group originally conceived as a way to get free drinks at clubs on Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip.

A boozy covers act, the band offers a plentiful supply of classic rock, with no frills or apologies. Catch ’em at Club Metronome this Thursday with Anomaly and The Capes.

LESLIE AND THE LYS

NORTHERN HOSPITALITY

As Frank Sinatra once sang, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.” He was, of course, was talking about the Big Apple — a city where success is measured in grit, tenacity and sometimes even talent. This week, a handful of Vermont bands will head to New York for the 2005 CMJ Music Marathon to pursue their dreams of stardom, or at least visit the Museum of Modern Art. The legendary conference boasts a who’s-who of indie and alternative acts, playing at venues throughout the city. It’s not easy to get in, so the fact that any local groups were invited is cool, indeed. Burrette Douglas, who many know as a member of The Cush, will bring his country act, Buffalo Springsteen, to the showcase. The band also features prominent locals Bill Mullins, Ryan Power and Creston Lea. Can I get a yee-haw?

Andrew Smith, the one-time front man for Chin Ho!, has a new group cheekily titled The Andrew Smith Disaster. They also made the cut. It might help that Smith’s current manager, Jay Ziskrout, was once the Chief Operating Officer of CMJ. He was also the drummer for hallowed Bad Religion, and has filled top executive positions at both Epitaph and Arista Records. Talk about credentials.

Two bands that have already broken out of the Green Mountains have been booked as well: both The Static Age and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are confirmed to appear at the event. You can check out the full list schedule (kiss lunch break goodbye — it’s huge) online at www.CMJ.com.

Good luck to the lot of ’em, and VT represent!

CLOSE TO THE EDGE Readers may recall Seven Days music reviewer Robert Resnik’s glowing notice about songstress Patti Casey’s latest disc, The Edge of Grace. It’s not entirely surprising, considering Resnik’s hands-down approval of her recent collection of jazz standards featuring guitarist Paul Asbell. The critic, DJ and musician certainly knows his folk, so when he called Casey’s latest his “top contender for local album of the year,” it carried some weight.

While the album has been available for a little while now, the official CD release party doesn’t take place until Friday, September 16, at Montpelier’s hottest new live music spot, Positive Pie II. Joining Casey for the celebration will be several area notables, including Taylor Armerding, Colin McCaffery, Sarah Blair, Steve Light, Susannah Clifford Blachly and Kristina Stykos. As a member of the muchloved Bluegrass Gospel Project, Casey is no stranger to band life. This time, however, she gets to be the boss.

Admission is $10, and the show kicks off at 8 p.m., so stop by, have a slice and enjoy9/7/05 music by one of Vermont’s finest1 2x4-rira082405 11:38 AM Page performers.

As the tragedy in the Gulf Coast continues to unfold, Vermont’s big-hearted musicians have sprung into action to provide some relief to those suffering in Katrina’s wake.

As most people are aware, New Orleans was home to one of America’s most vital and storied musical communities, so it’s not surprising that local troubadours would want to lend a hand. Here’s a rundown of a few relief efforts organized by Green Mountain artists.

First up is a f y d o (fresh young dynamic opera) concert that takes place Friday, September 16, at 7:30 p.m. at Burlington’s Unitarian Church. The event will showcase the talents of members of the nascent professional opera company, whose members hail from such far-flung locations as France and Mexico. The group was already trickling into town to rehearse its inaugural production of Handel’s Alcina, which takes place next week. In light of the devastation down South, the company decided to put their powerful pipes to use for charity. The concert features a program of music by American composers in styles such as opera, jazz and musical theater. Donations will be accepted at the door, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Habitiat for Humanity, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

Several Vermont musicians, including Steph Pappas, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Susannah Clifford Blachly and Peter Nerl have teamed up with CDbaby.com, an Internet-based retailer that specializes in independent releases, to donate wholesale proceeds from their recordings to the Red Cross.

And don’t forget what might be the biggest benefit show in Burlington, the “Hurricane Benefête,” which takes place beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, September 16, in Battery Park.

Hosted by Mayor Peter Clavelle, and co-sponsored by Seven Days and Magic Hat, the concert will feature performances from the Juliet McVicker Trio, Swale, the Starline Rhythm Boys, Chip Wilson, Manifest Nexto Me and Anna Pardenek. An all-star benefit band has been assembled for the occasion as well. That group features the talents of Russ Lawton, Mark Ransom, Page McConnell, Don Sydney, Chuck Eller, Brett Hughes, Michael Chorney, Jennifer Hartswick and Andrew Moroz. Holy crap, that’s one hell of a band! Local music champions Big Heavy Word are currently taking donations of holiday lights to help decorate the stage. You can drop your dusty boxes off at their offices at 215 College Street.

While the blame game continues to rage in the upper levels of the federal government, it’s nice to see Vermonters pitching in to help folks who truly need it most. From the Queen City to the Big Easy, musicians sure know how to give.

PARTY RECOVERY DEPT. Well, we did it. Last Saturday, Seven Days celebrated one of the greatest birthday parties in local history, and if you weren’t there, well, at least you’re not still hung over.

Here’s a recap of the bash that took place at both Nectar’s and Club Metronome.

Shawn Lipenski and Seth Jarvis put on a stellar theater piece called “7 Deadly Sins” up in the ’Nome. The performance had so many highlights that it’s impossible to recount ’em all. One of my favorite moments had to be rocker Herb van der Poll’s uproarious turn as Jesus Christ. Man, that dude can deadpan. Van der Poll that, is, not the Messiah.

Downstairs at Nectar’s, Seth Yacovone, the Funk Collection and The Jazz Guys performed to a huge audience. While all of the bands were great, a surprise performance from Leslie & the Ly’s was a crowd favorite. I’d seen the awesome videos for her tunes “Beat Dazzler” and “Gem Sweater,” but nothing could prepare me for the power of her live set. Leslie rapped and gyrated through a handful of tunes that could be described as a home economics class taught by Run DMC. Mayor Peter Clavelle gave a wonderful speech about the paper, before presenting my lovely bosses Pamela Polston and Paula Routly with a key to the city. Until last Saturday, I’d never seen either of them at a loss for words. It was an absolutely perfect moment in an absolutely perfect party.

Before they launched into their ferociously fun set, The Jazz Guys showed a short flick they made just for the occasion. While I won’t go into detail here, I will say this: Maarten van der Poll looks extra hot with mayonnaise smeared across his bare chest.

Prizes were given away, donations were made to hurricane victims, and a lot of booze was consumed. Thanks to everybody who came out to help us celebrate our first 9/13/05 2:31 PM Oh, Page 1 page 41A for the winner of1x4-positivepie091405 decade. and see the “Paper Work” art exhibit.

reviewthis SILO, PREQUEL

WOLF EYES, BURNED MIND

(Self-released, CD)

(Sub Pop Records, CD) Ann Arbor, Michigan-based noise terrorists Wolf Eyes eschew nearly every aspect of popular songcraft. There are no discernable melodies, and anything that could pass for an “arrangement” is subverted in a hailstorm of post-industrial aggression. The trio’s latest disc — their first for renowned indie label Sub Pop — is called Burned Mind. It’s an apt title, considering the music’s punishing volatility.

Wolf Eyes carry on a long tradition of experimental noise. The genre underwent a difficult birth in 1975 with Lou Reed’s still-controversial Metal Machine Music. That album boasted more than an hour’s worth of looping feedback designed to annoy Reed’s record label bosses. Well, times certainly have changed. While Wolf Eyes’ howling fury is sure to offend the casual music fan, the band has cultivated a hipster following that revels in this very kind of aural anguish.

Despite the seeming randomness of their creations, there is a method to Wolf Eyes’ madness. Through the deliberate use of abrasive tonalities, the group forces the listener to deal with the aesthetics of sound without distraction. Even beats are largely absent, replaced by subsonic synth gurgles and intermittent clanging.

Burned Mind’s title track approximates the sound of street noise, with shrieking feedback emulating ambulance sirens. “Urine Burn” opens with bursts of static drifting across the stereo field, before being overtaken by a wash of cymbals. A bare-bones offering, the track proves that noise isn’t just about volume and density.

“Reaper’s Song” is a squelching beast of a number, featuring mosquito-like electronic tones going headto-head with a menacing digital rumble. On this cut, sound is stretched to the breaking point, before snapping back like a rubber band. “Village Oblivia” is one of the only tunes on Burned Mind with vocals. The track’s thudding kick drum and tortured screams recall the work of seminal industrial group Throbbing Gristle, albeit without the political bent and sense of humor.

Whether all this noise amounts to much more than caustic chicanery is up to the listener to decide.

Regardless of the verdict, it’s obvious the group takes its music seriously. Obsessed with chaos and disorder, the band channels the violent beauty of modern existence. Good luck finding a song-based group with a similar acumen.

You can hear Wolf Eyes Monday, September 19, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with doom-metal overlords Khanate.

CASEY REA

While “eclectic” is an overused term, it would be difficult to describe the jazzy-jam sound of Vermont’s Silo in any other way.

The trio’s debut effort, Prequel, which features four studio jams and two live cuts, isn’t quite an instant classic. Still, it’s a solid introduction to a band brimming with enthusiasm.

Silo comprise three young musicians, including keyboardist Matthew Day, drummer Skyler Bailey and guitarist Xander Naylor. These talented upstarts refuse to be pinned down to any one style, flaunting multiple musical influences and approaches throughout the course of the record.

Opening cut “Tripleday” bounces through a sparse introductory section of piano and drum-driven funk, slowly adding guitar licks before dropping off into a gospel-esque organ interlude. With a meandering sound vaguely recalling that of college faves O.A.R., the tune utilizes the tried-and-true jam-band technique of incorporating several styles into a single song.

The trad-jazz-influenced “Pond Song” is followed by an anti-urban-sprawl anthem entitled “Meadow Song.” In addition to being one of only two cuts with vocals, the latter track features the album’s most fully realized guitar solos. Add some tasty r&b organ and you’ve got what may be the disc’s catchiest track. While the lyrics themselves won’t inspire awe, the band’s powerful musicianship makes up for any vocal shortcomings.

The smooth guitar and piano interplay on “Clary’s Net” leads into “Doubleday” and “Flange,” both of which are live cuts. Recorded at Chipman Point Marina and the Stone Hearth Inn, respectively, these tracks prove the band can shine even without the aid of studio equipment or editing. Boasting exceptional energy and inspired guitar work, they demonstrate Silo’s passion for their material. With the exception of a quiet vocal mix, the recording quality of the live tunes is exemplary.

It’s encouraging to hear a new generation of musicians taking their craft so seriously. With their considerable chops and zeal, Silo are on their way to becoming the Green Mountains’ next fusion heroes.

Prequel is the first chapter in what should prove to be an exciting musical storyline. Silo can be heard at Nectar’s on Wednesday, September 28.

GODS OF THUNDER :: Attention area hipsters: While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been busy rocking out to synth-driven retro pop, the underground has gone through yet another transformation. Doom-metal, once the exclusive property of gas-huffing longhairs, is now the pinnacle of cool in the Big Apple and beyond. Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Khanate are prime movers in this increasingly popular scene. Their ultra-slow pummel infuses Black Sabbath-style riffs with

an avant-garde edge, making for some of the most bloodcurdling music this side of Hades. Catch these emperors of extreme at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Monday with experimental noiseniks Wolf Eyes.

The Mystery Within

B EXHIBIT “New Work,” oil paintings and monotypes by Beth Pearson.

Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington.

Through September.

ARTWORK “World” by Beth Pearson

PHOTO Marc Awodey

eth Pearson’s third solo exhibition at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery is easily the strongest show of art in downtown Burlington this month. It’s not surprising to find such good work at the DA; what’s remarkable is how the Vergennes artist continues to evolve within her firmly established, abstract aesthetic. While lesser artists might paddle around aimlessly, waiting to catch the next new wave in art, Pearson swims in deeper waters. Her brand of abstraction is poetic, unassuming and organic.

This new show consists of three large-scale paintings and 18 monoprints. Pearson’s oils on canvas are technically impeccable. Tangled azure swirls buried along the left side of “Pattern and Flow” seem to sink into the painting’s turquoise field. Its central form is an oval that seems to slowly roll off the right edge of the composition. Pearson etches lines into her surfaces, and then uses several glaze layers to submerge those lines beneath luscious colors. “Pattern and Flow” is an almost square canvas with a simple yet effective color harmony of rusty sienna and painterly blue; the glazes have a richness that is generally associated with ceramics.

“World” is a much brighter painting with varied intensity and satura-

tion of color. The entire abstract composition, residing in a deep blue semicircle, seems to have a rocking chair’s movement. Pearson employs a wide array of layering techniques; here smaller forms appear within larger ones, and light hues, such as icy whites, are scumbled over earthy, dark ones.

The majority of Pearson’s prints are quite small, generally about 8 inches square. One of her favorite mixed-media approaches is coloring monotypes with gouache. The square of “Four Rooms” is divided into four smaller squares that float in a black field. Large, amoeba-like forms inhabit each “room.”

“Before the Ladder Disappears” contains one of Pearson’s few literal images. In a monochromatic, palegreen abstract landscape, a rickety “ladder” made of fine lines leans against the left edge of the picture.

The ladder stands on a roughly scratched cradle of other rhythmic lines. It may be a subtle reference to the biblical Jacob’s ladder, or Pearson has simply described an archetypal form. Either way, this piece has fewer physical layers than her other paintings, but has more accessible layers of meaning.

Pearson seems to be profoundly

influenced by Paul Klee. Her small prints “Stained Glass” and “Night Picnic” contain multicolored checkerboard patterns, delicate meandering lines and large dots that glow like stars — all reminiscent of the Swiss artist’s work.

Checkerboard patterns often represented brick walls in Klee’s iconography. Pearson’s use of a similar design element has a more translucent presence. Her checkerboard in the lower half of “Stained Glass” consists of primary colors plus white, but some of the squares are also left unfilled, as if “clear.” A long, horizontal line, curled at one end like an open scroll, appears above the squares; an orange dot illuminates the upper left.

In 1920, Klee referred to abstraction as “art in the highest circle.”

Within that circle, he wrote, “an ultimate mystery lurks behind the mystery, and the wretched light of the intellect is of no avail.”

Intellects are no more illuminated 85 years later. Figuration may have returned to prominence in the art world, but abstraction remains as valid today as it was throughout much of the 20th century. Pearson’s mysterious paintings and prints demonstrate why. m

PREVIEWS

The Exorcism of Emily Rose HHHH

I TEEN SPIRIT A college freshman goes through holy hell in Scott Derrickson’s chilling, factbased thriller.

enjoyed this film for what it doesn’t offer at least as much as for what it does. In recent years, rapid-fire jump cuts, heartattack sound effects and gruesome, computer-generated images have taken the place of horror in horror films. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is refreshingly low-tech in its approach to its subject matter. To the extent that you find yourself unsettled, it is the result of unsettling historical facts and metaphysical propositions, not cheap, joy-buzzer jolts.

Directed by Scott Derrickson, the movie recounts the true story of 19-year-old college student (Jennifer Carpenter) who had no previous history of psychological disturbance or record of encounters with supernatural entities prior to the night when something bizarre took place in her dorm room.

With her roommate away on a holiday visit, Emily Rose awoke at 3 a.m. to the sound of a slamming exit door. She left her room, walked tentatively down the dark hallway to close it, and then returned. When she lay back down on her bed, she later reported, something very heavy and invisible lay down on top of her. For the rest of her life — a matter of weeks — this demonic presence rarely left her.

Initially, Rose remained at school and attempted to tough it out. With increasing frequency, however, she suffered episodes in which her body stiffened into hideously contorted postures. Periodically the faces of fellow students would morph into distorted, otherworldly countenances and, as verified by her boyfriend (Joshua Close), the voice that came out of her was not her own.

Eventually doctors diagnosed her with a rare psychotic epileptic disorder and prescribed powerful medication.

Nonetheless, her nightmares and weight loss continued. In time she decided to return home. When her condition worsened, she reached out to her parish priest. At this point, she believed her only hope was an exorcism. The priest agreed and received approval from the archdiocese to conduct the rite.

What happened in the days that followed is told in flashback in the form of a courtroom drama. The exorcism has failed. Emily Rose has died just days later, and Father Moore has been put on trial, charged with her murder.

Tom Wilkinson (In the Bedroom) gives yet another quietly transfixing performance in the role. Laura Linney costars as

the hotshot attorney who takes his case to advance her career, but in short order finds herself with far weightier matters on her mind.

“There are dark forces surrounding this trial,” Father Moore cautions her. An agnostic, she’s skeptical at first. But when weird things start happening in her own home at exactly 3 a.m., and a physician who witnessed the exorcism is killed before he can testify, the attorney begins to take the priest’s advice more seriously. Despite instructions to the contrary from her boss, she grants Father Moore’s wish to take the stand. “I don’t care about my reputation and I’m not afraid of jail,” he explains, “All I care about is telling Emily Rose’s story.”

What distinguishes her story from that of a hundred other horror heroines is not just that it actually happened — in 1976, to a young German woman — but the intriguing manner in which it addresses the issue of religious martyrdom in a modern-day setting. As the young woman revealed in a letter to the priest written in the wake of the failed exorcism, she realized that her death at the hands of demonic forces would serve a far-reaching purpose: It would provide proof to the people of this world that the spiritual world is real.

Asked on the stand what he makes of her belief, Father Moore replies, “I think that someday she will be considered a saint.”

Derrickson’s film is among the most thought-provoking horror releases I’ve seen. It offers at least as many challenging ideas as hair-raising moments, and is admirably balanced in its presentation of the medical explanation for what happened to Emily Rose. The viewer is left to sort through faith-versus-science arguments, facts and events and come to a conclusion as to whether this was a matter beyond mortal solution. All one knows for certain is that both the priest and the tormented young woman believed that it was.

The movie will be compared to The Exorcist, of course, but the comparison is pointless. They’re cinematic apples and oranges. One might as well compare Grizzly Man to “Grizzly Adams.” The things the devil makes Jennifer Carpenter/Emily Rose do certainly are less theatrical than those done by Linda Blair. If anything, that makes them all the more horrific. m

LINDA AND TRAVIS LUXENBERG IN LIVING THE AUTISM MAZE

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Reel Life age 3. They tend to demonstrate problems with social relationships, communicating emotions and sensory signals. Nicholas appeared to be a normal infant, his dad Michael George says in the film, but by age 3 it became evident that “something just wasn’t right.” Nonetheless, Barbano points out that Nicholas wasn’t officially diagnosed until the year 2000, when he was 6.

Another mother talks about her baby son experiencing a grand mal seizure and requiring CPR the day after being vaccinated for measles.

“Then he stopped babbling and making eye contact,” she says of the boy, now a teenager.

This account would seem to confirm the common suspicion that a mercury-based ingredient in childhood shots can bring on autism, a theory that has yet to be proven with scientific certainty.

Barbano and Farber interview several experts, such as a doctor from the Vermont Child Development Clinic, who speculate on a range of potential causes from genetic to environmental.

Nobody knows how to make the disability go away.

“Sometimes when you get that label of autism, the attitude is, ‘Well, there’s no cure,’” Barbano suggests, miming a typical shrug of discouragement.

On camera, the mother of a little girl notes, “The medical community lost interest once she was diagnosed.”

Children with autism often can make substantial gains in specialized educational programs. In the film, Nicholas responds with enthusiasm to coaching from a speech therapist.

“Vermont is a small state,” Barbano observes. “They’re trying to offer more programs to help families. It’s evolving.”

The film’s struggling parents impressed Farber, who has about 20 previous documentaries under his belt. “As a father of two, it struck me how much more energy these people need to protect their kids and find services for them,” he says. “I’m in awe of their commitment.”

Living the Autism Maze will screen for free at 5:45 p.m. on September 17 at the Roxy.

“Shorts and Docs,” a week of fascinating cinematic fare, will unspool at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier from September 16 through 18. The Manhattan Short Film Festival includes a dozen such works from around the world.

Audience members can vote for their favorites.

“Shorts for the Shorter Set” aims to please youngsters at 11 a.m. on September 17. Screening on the 19th and 20th, Short Cut to Nirvana is a documentary about a massive gathering on the banks of the Ganges River; filmmaker Nick Day will appear in person.

On the 21st and 22nd, the seldomseen 1972 Winter Soldier shows Vietnam veterans testifying about atrocities witnessed during the war.

One of the key participants was Rusty Sachs, a former Marine helicopter pilot from Vermont. The 61-year-old Norwich native was 22 when he spoke at the three-day gathering in Detroit.

“I talked about friends and colleagues who had told me of flying missions in which Vietnamese prisoners were tossed out of helicopters,” Sachs says. “Pilots always count the numbers of passengers when loading and unloading. I had been instructed by other officers that you want to have deniability if the numbers differ.”

There’ll be more on this doc and Rusty Sachs in next week’s column.

icholas Barbano-George is a curious, lively, adorable 11-year-old with autism. He’s also now a movie star.

The Burlington boy is among several children spotlighted in Living the Autism Maze, which focuses on Vermonters grappling with this spectrum of neurological disorders. The documentary — premiering this weekend in Burlington — has been a literal labor of love for Nicholas’ mother Anne Barbano, who co-directed the project with Jeff Farber of Middlesex.

“It was initially supposed to be 20 minutes, then we were trying for 30 minutes,” recalls Barbano, who funded the project with a $9600 grant from the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council. “Jeff finally said, ‘You know what? Your film’s telling you it’s 40 minutes.’”

Barbano imagined a comprehensive, oral-history approach that would include interviews with at least 10 families challenged by autism. They settled on six, and managed to find an array of people from Winooski to Woodstock. Although each has a distinct story to tell, there seems to be general agreement that medical personnel and public school systems often don’t provide enough information or support. Hence the “maze” that must be navigated by parents desperately trying to figure out how to help their kids.

Autism hits an astonishing 1 in 166 children, usually manifesting by

STAR APPEAL

Today’s Vermont Youth Orchestra members may be too young to remember the original theatrical release of Star Wars, but they can still get a kick out of playing themes from the movie — or its many prequels. The ensemble digs John Williams’ storm-trooper score in a concert of works about heroic figures. Also on the program: Rossini’s overture to William Tell, a bit from Wagner’s Rienzi, and the Vermont premiere of “Possibly,” a rock-inspired composition penned by young Oregon-based musician Micah Hayes. Soloists include Essex Junction horn player Trevor Bergeron (pictured) and Charlotte cellist Daniel HollierCross, taking on tricky pieces by Gordon Jacobs and Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnányi, respectively. Obi Wan would be proud.

VERMONT YOUTH ORCHESTRA Sunday, September 18, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 3 p.m. $5.

scene@THE WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EXPO WYNDHAM HOTEL, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, NOON. Fall was in the air, and a brisk breeze was blowing through Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees, which had begun to turn scarlet and orange. But while many residents and visitors seemed determined to cling to summer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; basking on the waterfront or enjoying the Art Hopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative exuberance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some four dozen women and one man seemed ready to face winter. Not to mention aging. Yes, the audience assembled at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Expo were getting armed to, well, the teeth. Sponsored by South Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Cosmetic & Medical Dermatology, the event included tactics from permanent makeup to plastic surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good-looking lady,â&#x20AC;? said Shelburne dentist Daniel Melo, while showing a slide of a woman with not-so-pearly whites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got spacing concerns, rotated teeth and discoloration.â&#x20AC;? His 30-minute presentation on cosmetic dentistry extolled the virtues of veneers, crowns and lasers.

Leitner, a South Burlington cosmetic surgeon, was introduced as â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly an artist.â&#x20AC;? A single example of his artwork undoubtedly generates more revenue than all the pieces in the Art Hop; as he pointed out, cosmetic surgery procedures jumped 32 percent in 2003. Minimally invasive ones such as Botox spiked 41 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reality-makeover shows have been a boon to plastic surgery,â&#x20AC;? Leitner explained.

But the audience assembled in the Wyndhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ballroom B were also presented with the reality of swans gone wrong: Leitner gave a Power Point presentation of complications including post-facelift skin slough, massive black eyes and breast implants that leak through the nipple.

Then it was time for lunch: lemon chicken, salad, rice and vegetables. (The $30 fee for the Expo included food and coffee, with proceeds going to breast reconstruction for underprivileged survivors.) A fashion show from Mendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothing & Accessories entertained the women, who tittered excitedly when told a modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jeans were True Religion, the kind worn by Teri Hatcher in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Desperate Housewives.â&#x20AC;?

Cosmetic dermatologist Robert Gordon, whose office organized the event, announced that there would be free skin-cancer screenings, microdermabrasion demos and intense complexion analysis in the afternoon. When dessert arrived, a participant from Cambridge, Vermont, initially resisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking young comes down to diet and exercise,â&#x20AC;? she declared, before explaining that she worked in an assisted living home.

But then she tucked into her strawberry shortcake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what you look like when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around old people,â&#x20AC;? she said.

DEAD MAN TALKING

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 3300 U.S. prisoners were under a death sentence by the end of 2003. Playwright Ken Carnes gives voice to some of these inmates in Last Words, his one-man performance-art piece chronicling the hearts and minds of society’s condemned. Standing in front of an electric chair, Carnes captivates with a monologue and multimedia show based on firsthand stories from hundreds of Death Row prisoners and their friends and families, as well as guards, wardens and politicians. After the 75-minute final appeal of Inmate Albert L. Peoples — that’s All Peoples, for short — audience members decide his fate. Whatever your position on capital punishment, this is one exhibition that questions personal beliefs about justice and deterrence.

‘LAST WORDS’ Wednesday, September 21, McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, 7 p.m. Free. Info, 654-2536.

A special showcase staged by area instructors and their top students features 19 types of partner dances, from the ragtime-era foxtrot to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s disco-hustle made famous by a white-polyester-suited John Travolta. Brief intros to the demos describe the history of certain steps such as the milonga, a variety of tango. Proceeds benefit Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, week-long sleepaway on Lake Champlain for kids ages 7 to 17 who are coping with cancer.

The supremely frustrating slowness of federal response to Hurricane Katrina prompted many Vermonters to take matters into their own hands. Since the devastation on the Gulf Coast, a flood of relief concerts and events has filled venues statewide. Burlington joins in with a citywide party emceed by Mayor Peter Clavelle, and supported by Seven Days and Magic Hat Brewing Company. Local groups ranging from the eclectically countrified Chrome Cowboys to indie-proggers Manifest Nexto Me open the evening. An all-star band including Green Mountain musical icons Russ Lawton on drums, jazz jam-band leader Michael Chorney and former Phish keyboardist Page McConnell rounds out the program. Bring your dancing shoes and your checkbook, and snag strands of Mardi Gras-style beads as tokens of our appreciation.

ECOLOGIC TEST

Water and air quality, endangered species, global warming — there are lots of environmental issues to be concerned about, and holistic solutions are often hard to sample on a per diem basis. An outdoor festival on Saturday remedies this with a blend of progressive art and science to benefit local farm conservation. The pageant that lends its name to the show focuses on Don Dicisco, a renegade character persecuted for being in touch with nature.

Apart from the drama, artists exhibit work, six live bands play, and ecologists deliver demos and guided nature walks. Renewable-energy displays give a glimpse of what future vehicles and appliances might look like, and a hand-built earth oven cooks a celebratory feast from foods grown on local farms.

‘THE LEGEND OF DON DICISCO’ Saturday, September 17, Green Mountain Audubon Center, Huntington, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. $30 includes dinner. Info, 863-5966. http://www.legend2005.org Page 1

L RE A

SEPTEMBER 15-21

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): “Something we were withholding made us weak,” wrote poet Robert Frost. I hope you will consider the possibility that this describes your current predicament. It’s my astrological opinion that your strength is being compromised by a feeling you’re not exploring or an experience you’re denying yourself or a gift you’re refusing to give. You may think you’re protecting yourself, but I believe it’s just the reverse. To reclaim the vitality that has been shriveling up, unclench yourself in every way you can imagine.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): I don’t recommend that you aim for perfection—not now or ever. I’m equally skeptical of you seeking enlightenment, as it’s defined by Eastern religions. Perfection and enlightenment are downright impossible in a world where change is the only constant. What constitutes perfection or enlightenment today won’t be valid tomorrow, when the truth has evolved and God has showered us with an influx of previously unimaginable new circumstances. No, Taurus, what I suggest is that you cultivate love with all your ingenuity — both the capacity to give it and receive it. There’s no other undertaking that does more to build up your power and intelligence. And this week is an ideal time to be living proof of that fact.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The Epson laser printer I got for my computer two years ago has worked great. It serves my needs beautifully.

Our household also has a newer, more expensive Epson printer, which I bought for another computer, but it doesn’t work nearly as well.

Unfortunately, the beloved original now has a malfunction, and I can’t find a single printer repairperson who’ll even try to fix it. They say it’s an antique, and Epson doesn’t make parts for it anymore. Nonetheless, I’m determined to save it.

I’m scouring eBay for old parts, and will learn printer repair skills myself if necessary. This is one time when the older version is definitely worth preserving. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Gemini, you’re facing a similar problem with a comparable solution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “If you want to draw a bird, you must become a bird,” counseled the Japanese artist Hokusai. Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi practiced a related strategy: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” I have yet another perspective to add to the mix: Become more like the people you admire most. Place these three suggestions at the core of your daily rhythm in the coming week, Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “It ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught,” said baseball star Billy Martin, who was renowned for his belligerent trickster shtick. Trainer Victor Conte, who has been accused of providing steroids to professional baseball players, offers a different angle: “It’s not cheating if everyone is doing it.” I beg you to disavow their beliefs, Leo. While it’s true that everyone is doing the kind of fudging you’re contemplating, and though you probably wouldn’t be caught, to do so would be bad for your karma, your dharma, your charisma, and your ability to attract what you need. Be stupendously ethical, sublimely impeccable.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The planetary omens for you are all about revelation and flashes of insight, so I don’t think I’m being too outrageously optimistic when I predict that the coming days will bring you more “aha!”-type experiences than you’ve had in the past four months combined. In fact, I’ll be bold and call this Eureka Explosion Week. To get yourself in the mood, read these definitions of the word “epiphany”: a stroke of realization about the meaning of something important; a sudden flow of inspiring knowledge without thought; a perception of a previously hidden reality by means of a burst of intuition.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Some years ago, I fell in love with the wrong woman. The misadventures that ensued provided me with enough reasons to stay humble forever. The experience was proof that I’m as subject to bouts of

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. self-deception as everyone else in the world. It was also a reminder that while some people might consider me wise, I’m at best an apprentice mage stumbling my way through a crash course in the mysteries of being a human being. My gratitude for all these educational blessings has been enormous. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because now is a good time to marshal your appreciation for comparable pride-leveling events in your own life. Since you’re poised on the verge of a new phase of success, it’s the perfect moment to recall how much you still have to learn.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometime in the coming weeks you could begin a project that will take at least 12 years to complete. Will it be worth spending that much time? I believe it will, though you might not think so now. In fact, you may not even be inclined to launch the project if you imagine it can’t be completed by 2008.

From what I can tell, though, the purpose of the long adventure is bigger than you’re able to foresee, and the ways it will change you are important in ways you cannot yet understand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let’s work on dissolving one of your fears.

The time is right: Cosmic forces are aligned to help you pump up your courage. In fact, life is conspiring to bring you experiences that could free you of harmful anxieties and wipe away phobic imprints. So choose a feeling of dread — any feeling of dread — and visualize it embodied in front of you in the form of a specific scene. Now picture the scene unfolding on a large raft at a beach. Start laughing at what’s transpiring; compel yourself to chuckle if necessary, or focus on anything you find ridiculous. Notice that the force of your laughter is propelling the raft out to sea. Keep giggling and guffawing, pushing it further and further out until it disappears over the horizon. Do this exercise once a day until October 1.

the void. I’m not being glib. You’d really benefit from becoming better friends with emptiness.

Your well being would rise a few levels if you expanded your appreciation for the value of doing nothing and thinking nothing. Do you dare live without your precious opinions and ambitions for a few days? Are you brave enough to gaze into the heart of the great unknown and be free of the need to explain it, change it, or judge it?

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A few years ago, the CEO of Ford Motors apologized for making SUVs. William Ford even referred to the Excursion, one of his company’s huge pollution generators, as the “Ford Valdez,” associating it with the ship that despoiled the Alaskan environment with an oil spill back in 1989. And yet that didn’t stop Ford from continuing to manufacture gas-guzzlers. He saw the error of his ways but didn’t correct it. Make him your anti-role model in the coming days, Aquarius. After you realize your mistake or excess, be gleefully uninhibited about fixing it and making amends.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): A blogger named Allison wrote this about me and my horoscopes at Beautifulsurprise.blogspot.com: “Brezsny’s a little loopy. A little out there. A little ‘I would have stopped for that red light, officer, but little green men from my personal goddess realm on the fifth parallel told my cat that I should be taking echinacea and bee pollen for my sniffles, and I didn’t think it prudent to ignore such a suggestion.’” Here’s my reaction: Like all of us, I periodically come across people who have a very different concept of me than I have of myself, but this discrepancy is extreme. In my own eyes, I’m grounded and full of common sense. And while I appreciate the New Age, I don’t use its vernacular or share all of its values. I mention this, Pisces, as an example of your assignment in the coming week. Identify people with cracked notions about you, and either correct them or separate yourself from them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a ripe moment for you to explore the mysteries of

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am 20 years old and my very committed boyfriend and I have been experimenting with anal sex. We’ve used plenty of lube and foreplay, but it still hurts. We’ve done it before with no problem, but every time we’ve tried since then, it has hurt too badly to continue. If it’s not the lack of lube or foreplay, then what on earth is it? Is there something we’ve missed?

Frustrated in Fairfax Dear Frustrated, Pain is your body’s signal that something is wrong. The area may have become damaged, either from penetration or unrelated events.

Relaxation is also essential. If you’re worrying about discomfort, you may be clenching your muscles — and setting yourself up for additional distress. Back off for a bit and let yourself heal. If you want to get back into the groove, work your way slowly, starting with something small, like a finger. Bottom line: Listen to your body. And make sure you let your boyfriend know where you’re at each step of the way, and that he listens to you.

Love, Lola

With us you get twice the love and fun! Hello, we are Barkeley and Bailey, a bonded pair of 6-year-old female Bichon Frise dogs. We are playful, social, affectionate, excitable, attentive, and gentle. We are also a sweet, happy, and outgoing pair. Simply put, we are nice dogs.

Although we require regular grooming, our coats are considered hypo-allergenic. In other words, we have hair, not fur! We do have some special needs being that we are 6 years old. We both have bladder stones and need to be on a special diet. Our special diet may take care of the stones.

However, our new people should be aware that we may need surgery to have the stones removed. In the meantime, we need frequent potty breaks because the stones are irritating. We would love to add double the pleasure to a family with kids of all ages. We get along with dogs and cats too! With two of us, you are sure to find that rewardbased training will be fun and helpful. We hope you choose us because your commitment will be rewarded with our attention and love!
