REGIME CHANGE Now over 1000 American lives have been lost in Mr. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invasion of Iraq. And the dying is far from finished. What reward have we gotten for this great sacrifice, for the countless broken hearts and families destroyed? Sadly, we have lost much of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respect and support that are needed to help defend us against terrorism.

We have diverted massive quantities of people and resources away from our defense against terrorism and into the Iraq War. Terrorism and hatred of America have grown, so we are now less safe from terrorism. By going it nearly alone our troops have been left to suffer by far the greatest part of the deadly burden in Iraq. And Mr. Bush will hand our children the enormous bill for it all.

It is time to stand up and correct Mr. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-wing blunder that has claimed so many of our loved onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Only an international alliance can cope with the international problem of terrorism.

Mr. Bush remains tied to his old policies, which have badly damaged that alliance.

Without a change in policy we cannot expect a change in results.

For the sake of America we must elect a president who will regain the international respect and support that are needed to effectively address the threat of terrorism. Mr.

Jonathan Bruce

TIRED OF TERROR What happened last week in Russia surprised many of us with tears for people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never met [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Track,â&#x20AC;? Sept. 8]. If you are at all inclined to help, please do so. The International Foundation for Terror Act Victims (www.moscowhelp.org) lists a few ways to help. They are small and take little time. The foundation is of course taking donations. They also provide materials for publicizing the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to your coworkers or friends.

Or maybe all you can give is your thoughts: There is a place to write a note of condolence online.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about you, but knowing that people halfway around the world cried when they heard about something that happened to me would give me a just a little heart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is pretty nice, in an otherwise incomprehensible time.

And while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at it, can I just say: Enough is enough. If anyone out there wants to get serious about creating some empathy and good old warm-fuzziness in this world, give me a call. This is getting ridiculous.

CLAVELLE FOR GOVERNOR Just home from a LGBTQA Alliance Celebration and fundraiser for Peter Clavelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign for Governor, and heard Peter C. respond to the Douglas administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental record (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m responding to Peter Freyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaint that Clavelle is missing in action [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Track,â&#x20AC;? Sept. 1].

Clavelle not only wants to lead Vermont, he wants Vermont to lead this country, and not just in providing every citizen with health-care coverage, but in environmental health policies as well.

He knows we need to invest in renewables and in conservation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he sees the economic and homeland security sense of it, and, you know what, I think he loves this state and its people, and wants to see what is special and good about Vermont go on for generations.

Clavelle pointed out that Burlington uses 2 percent less electricity than it did 14 years ago, at the beginning of his first term as mayor. In addition, during his tenure, Burlington Electric dramatically increased the energy it draws from in-state, renewable sources, clearly demonstrating that renewable resources and affordability go hand in hand, and Burlington secured voter-approval of an $11.3 million bond to fund energy conservation and efficiency measures.

This is vision in action, i.e., leader-

MONTPELIER

POLLINA PRIDE I haven’t written a letter to Seven Days in years, but I feel compelled

to comment on Peter Freyne’s recent column about Anthony Pollina’s role in the 2002 elections [“Inside Track,” Sept. 8]. What is Mr. Freyne saying about the intelligence of the 25 percent of Vermont voters who supported Anthony in 2002? That they were gullible and were suckered by Anthony? That they weren’t intelligent enough to understand what would happen if they voted for the candidate they thought most qualified?

To come clean — I work with Anthony on his two current proj-

ects: starting a dairy farmer-owned Vermont brand of milk and his talk show on WDEV radio. Having worked on numerous campaigns (though none of Anthony’s), I find receiving 25 percent of the vote an incredible accomplishment for a third-party candidate in a threeway race. Maybe these voters didn’t care, as Mr. Freyne obviously does, about who might win but wanted to vote for the candidate they believe best represented the kind of place they wanted Vermont to be.

How can this be a bad thing?

Maybe these voters agreed with Anthony that the two major parties have done little to correct the major tragedies of our times — the loss of family farms, the inability of most of us to afford decent health care and the devastating effect of free-trade policies on Vermont’s economy.

After watching these problems remain unchecked through years of Democratic and Republican leadership, I don’t really believe that they are ever going to tackle these problems. For that reason I am glad that people like Anthony and other Progressives run for office.

Peter Sterling WORCESTER

PROGRESSIVE POWER Seems somewhere along the line Peter Freyne gave up the idea that political change is possible. Why else would he be so consistently batting for the Democrat? Lately, one of his favorite themes is that Progressives are a bunch of selfrighteous, numbskulls hell-bent on electing every Republican we can find. I suppose this idea makes for entertaining columns.

But facts are important. Fact is, Progressives are running against Republicans in Derby, Troy, Bethel and Bennington. In Derby we have the chance to knock off ultra-conservative Nancy Sheltra. In Troy, our candidate has the support of

Democrats. Same in Bethel. In Bennington our candidate was approached by the Democrats to fill their ticket. He is running as a Progressive and supported by Democrats.

Fact is, in 2002 we elected a member to the Statehouse from Brattleboro. In 2004 we’ll continue to grow outside of Burlington.

Freyne’s latest column [“Inside Track,” Sept. 8] once again belittles Anthony Pollina as a man blinded with political ambition and determined to push the Progressive Party to stardom. Freyne says, “Meanwhile, in the 1990s, Pollina and the Sanderistas pressed on with party building. They eventually pulled it off in 1999, just in time for the 2000 gubernatorial campaign.” Oops. Reality must just be too boring for Mr. Freyne.

Fact is, Pollina wasn’t even at the founding meeting of the statewide party in December 1999.

It wasn’t for another month that we struck upon the idea of Pollina as a candidate.

What a shame that Freyne’s column can’t be both entertaining and factually accurate. I say put him back to the one-page format he had a few years ago: more facts, less drivel.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Clavelle Turns it Up

T

he campaign of Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Peter Clavelle plans to turn things up a notch or two this week. And it’s certainly not a moment too soon.

Just yesterday a friend said he dropped off a facetious six-word letter to the editor at The Burlington Free Press: “Is Peter Clavelle running for governor?”

Yes, he is, believe it or not, and as Seven Days hits the street Wednesday, Candidate Moonie plans a press conference to unveil his much-anticipated plan to redesign Vermont’s health-care system.

Can’t wait.

Then, Wednesday evening, just after Dan Rather, the Clavelle campaign will broadcast a three-minute one-on-one with the candidate.

“That big sucking sound you hear,” says Clavelle, “is the cost of health care… The health-care system is broken. Everybody knows it. Everybody but Jim Douglas.”

Clavelle’s calling his plan the “Vermonters First Health Care Plan,” and he says it “will make comprehensive, affordable, health insurance available to everyone.”

Apparently, the Douglas campaign got wind of all this. Gov. Scissorhands upstaged the challenger by a day, rolling out his own new health-care plan before a Chamber of Commerce audience on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Clavelle and Douglas face off at the Capitol Plaza in the first debate of the campaign. If Clavelle doesn’t land at least one solid punch, this baby could be over sooner rather than later.

One veteran political organizer pointed out that one of Clavelle’s biggest handicaps may be the fact that, for the first time in his career, he’s relying on the Vermont Democratic Party’s campaign apparatus, instead of the more aggressive Progressive Party machine, to get him to victory lane.

Already it’s apparent Peter is having difficulty getting his side of things into the paper and on the air. There have been too many stretches when the Clavelle name has not been in the news at all.

The Democratic Party machine, we can report, does send out emails, some of which are pretty good. But rarely, if ever, do they follow up with phone calls pushing their case.

Don’t they have any idea how many emails a news operation gets in one day?

It reminds us of the lack of aggressiveness that sank Doug Racine two years ago.

Racine sat back while the persistent GOP Nasty Boys, Jim Barnett and Neale Lunderville, pecked him to death.

If Clavelle’s going to pull off an upset, he and his campaign staff are not going to do it by being shy.

Douglas Overconfident? — The quote of the week came from the lips of Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. When asked about his obvious confidence of victory in November, the governor replied, “A lot of people say that they don’t generally vote for Democrats.

In some cases they’ve told me they’ve never voted for a Democrat before, but they’re going to vote for me!”

Gov. Scissorhands then rattled off his top accomplishments like they were on tape in

his brain. Finally he took a breath and a reporter asked if he realized what he’d said.

The reporter read back his quote.

“Freudian slip, I guess!” replied a blushing Douglas.

Hmm. Does that mean that playing a Democrat, even briefly, was a pleasurable experience for our governor?

Dean Has the Power — Former Gov. Howard Dean’s latest book, You’ve Got the Power, comes in a small package but, like its author, it packs an extra-large punch. Or rather, punches.

Dean settles the score with a few of his least-favorite national reporters, such as Michael Issikoff of Newsweek, Rick Lyman of The New York Times, Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times and Jim VandeHei of The Washington Post.

Have to agree with Ho-Ho, they deserved it. A couple of these reporters called here, and it was obvious from the get-go they just could not accept the fact that a nationally unknown governor of little Vermont was qualified to swim with the sharks.

One interesting tidbit for Vermont readers is Dean’s report that President Bill Clinton thought our former guv was unelectable because he had signed the civilunions bill in 2000, allowing marriage rights for same-sex couples.

According to Dean’s book, Monica Lewinsky’s former lover was trying to drum up support for Wes Clark at the time. As luck would have it, Clinton called someone who’d converted to Dean.

“Howard Dean,” Clinton said, “forfeited his right to run for president when he signed the civil-unions bill. He can’t win.”

“It was a rare mistake for the president,” wrote Dean. “The supporter was gay and called to tip us off.”

Ho-Ho then gives quite the stirring argument for equal rights and the importance of his historic signing of the landmark legislation.

However, our once favorite presidential hopeful left out the part about how he signed it in private, behind closed doors, so that there would never be news photos or video footage of the historic event he now champions!

You Have the Power, unlike his earlier book, Winning Back America, is a pretty good read. A lot juicier and snappier, as one would expect from a now-seasoned veteran of the presidential campaign trail.

Ho-Ho will do a book-signing at Borders in Burlington on Sunday, September 26, at 2 p.m.

Presidential Neighborhood — We were out for a spin on the two-wheeler this weekend on a loop around South Cove Road.

That’s the undulating street with about 45 well-maintained homes at the southern tip of Burlington. It’s only accessible by Austin Drive or the Burlington Bikepath. Some homes are on the lakefront. Most have lake views.

Phish or Foul?

Last month’s farewell Phish shows in Coventry were plagued by torrential rains, treacherous mud bogs and a 25-mile traffic jam that turned Interstate 91 into a parking lot. As if the swan song for the Vermont-based jam band wasn’t already enough of a mess — for organizers and fans alike — it now appears that some concertgoers may have also been exposed to sewage sludge that was spread on the site just 10 months earlier.

About 66 acres of the 600-acre festival site at Newport State Airport were used for the disposal of municipal sludge from the city of Newport’s wastewater treatment plant, according to information provided by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. Approximately 1.2 tons of sludge per acre were injected eight inches deep into the soil in a process known as “biosolid application.”

Ordinarily, humans aren’t allowed onto sludge-treated fields for at least one year. The DEC first learned of the sludge last spring when the city of Newport and the festival organizer, Great Northeast Productions, contacted the agency. “We consulted with appropriate state officials regarding this, and secured a permit from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources allowing us limited use of those areas during the event,” explains Great Northeast President Dave Werlin in a written statement to Seven Days. “To the best of our knowledge, we were in full compliance with that permit at all times prior to and during the event.”

Christine Thompson, director of the DEC’s Wastewater Management Division, confirms that the DEC directed organizers to designate that area for day-use parking only. “Otherwise, public access to that land was supposed to be restricted,” Thompson says. “There was not supposed to be any camping or hanging around on that particular acreage.”

But two environmental groups that learned of the sludge aren’t convinced.

“We all know how festivals go, especially the Phish concert,” says Lindsey Hodel of the Montpelier-based Toxics Action Center. “There was a lot of flooding and tents ended up being pitched on the dayuse parking areas.”

Toxics Action Center and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the DEC seeking more data about what was spread and how much.

Although sludge is not considered “hazardous waste” by the state or federal government, both groups oppose biosolid application because sludge often contains high concentrations of human pathogens, heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins and other potentially toxic components. Those compounds can not only contaminate nearby wells and groundwater, both groups say, but can also pose a serious threat to human and animal health.

Exposure to class B biosolids, the most common form of municipal sludge and the kind spread in Coventry, has been linked to a host of health problems, including skin rashes, eye and respiratorytract irritations, infections, gastrointestinal problems and flu-like symptoms. A 2002 report by the National Academy of Sciences notes that contact with sludge can even be lethal. In 1995, for example, two Pennsylvania youths died after con-

Vigil Watch The price of liberty, Thomas Jefferson said, is eternal vigilance. Last week marked the third anniversary of 9/11, and coincidentally saw the U.S. death toll in the Iraq war climb above 1000. It was a morbidly busy week for activists who protest — or support — U.S. wars.

The loosely organized Burlington Anti-War Coalition hosts a peace vigil Monday through Friday from 5 to 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Church and Pearl Streets.

Members of the group have been out there every weekday, rain or shine, since September 13, 2001, holding hand-lettered signs that say, “Dissent is not disloyalty” and, since the U.S. attack, “How Many More Will Die In Iraq?”

Dubois: “Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season.” The two sides literally face off for half an hour each day.

On Thursday, Rioux had to face messages such as “All Iraqis are being abused,” and “Innocent people die for a lie.”

Despite their differences, both sides grudgingly admit respect for the other. Still, no one seems eager to breach the divide for small talk.

The presence of pro-war demonstrators — Rioux has been joined in the past by two or three like-minded fellows — creates a provocative gantlet through which rush-hour drivers must pass.

The honks and obscene gestures are roughly split between the two sides, protestors say. For every jogger who passes the peace vigil and yells, “Bush is an asshole!” a thirtysomething guy with a kid in tow walks up to Rioux and wordlessly applauds.

But because Rioux is in the minority — in Burlington, if not in D.C. — his hecklers tend to be angrier. No one said or did anything vulgar on Thursday, but Rioux says — and some on the other side confirm — that his side takes more abuse, mainly from college-age young men. “I met a couple of pretty scary Arabs one day,” Rioux related, noting that what the men said is unprintable here. “They weren’t fooling around.”

Still, the tenor of the opposition doesn’t surprise him. What he doesn’t understand, given the proliferation of magnetic yellow ribbons on the cars whizzing by, is the lack of support. “Out of this entire city,” he mused, “I can’t believe I’m here alone.”

umbrella. “It doesn’t help. It makes things worse.

And anybody who is involved with war is going to live with it the rest of their lives.”

Over the years vigil turnout has been as low as one lone sign-holder. But this week, when news of the 1000 deaths hit, attendance grew. Eight people showed up Wednesday, 13 on Thursday, and 80 at a second vigil Thursday night at 8 p.m.

Organizers at the Peace & Justice Center pulled together the second gathering with help from MoveOn.org. The online progressive group sent emails to members that resulted in more than 900 spontaneous vigils across the country.

But though Thursday’s candle-carrying crowd drew more attention, the smaller afternoon gathering — with its single counter-protestor — was filled with more democratic drama.

About a year ago, counter-protestors, holding pro-Bush signs and waving American flags, began to appear at the daily vigils. One of them, Bruce Rioux, a 45-year-old Burlington bookseller, showed up on Thursday afternoon. He held a small American flag in one hand and a professionally printed sign — “Support Our Troops and Our President” — in the other. Wednesday was one of the few days he’s missed all year.

Rioux quietly but insistently said he was motivated to begin demonstrating last October by one thing: “Them,” he said, pointing across the street at the 13 activists and their signs. “I got tired of seeing them,” he says.

Rioux stands at the top of Church Street, the peace activists in front of the Unitarian Church — where a sign carries an apt quote from W.E.B.

tracting staph infections linked to a pathogen found in a sludge field near their homes.

Toxics Action Center and VPIRG are concerned that some fans may have camped or walked barefoot through sludge-treated fields. A medic who worked at the concerts, who asked to remain anonymous, reports that he treated “thousands” of concertgoers with a wide range of foot injuries,

including blisters, lacerations and the early stages of “trench foot.” The medic expressed concern about the difficulty of keeping those wounds clean and dry in conditions that often included calfdeep mud.

The sludge spread at the Coventry site was heat-treated to kill some, though not all, of its pathogens, according to Cathy Jamieson, supervisor of the residuals management program at the DEC. Jamieson says class B sludge is routinely spread on fields that are used for growing crops.

“If we’re worried about public health, I would probably be more concerned about the human waste I saw on the site,” Jamieson says, referring to the difficulties organizers had with servicing portable toilets due to the mud. “To me, that would pose a greater public health risk.”

An estimated 65,000 fans attended the August 14-15 shows by Phish, the four-man band that has attracted an international following often likened to that of the Grateful Dead. Fans routinely spent days camping and hanging around parking lots.

But weeks of heavy rains in August made the Coventry site a veritable quagmire, resulting in the State Police setting up roadblocks and turning many fans away.

had first seen the young woman earlier that afternoon walking along Pine Street near the Burlington bus terminal. I tend to notice people on the sidewalk, because anyone on foot is a potential taxi fare. So I keep my eyes open.

She had been heading in the direction of Main Street with a substantial backpack — big, rectangular, tan and frayed.

The bulk of it made me think she was carrying all her worldly possessions on her back. Her worn clothes suggested she was not a middle-class kid out on a lark with a handy credit card if things got dicey. You never can tell for sure, but I thought this person was probably living on the edge.

It was close to midnight when this same young woman approached my taxi.

I rolled down my window and she said, “I’m supposed to meet a guy with a van in front of Shaw’s on — I think he said

Her remark hit me like a kick in the stomach. I couldn’t bear to contemplate exactly what she meant by it.

‘Shelburne Street.’ Also, he has the money for the taxi when we get there. Is that OK?” “Yeah, Shaw’s on Shelburne Road.

Let’s throw that backpack in the rear seat, and you can sit in the front with me.”

“What about the money part?”

“It’s fine,” I replied. “You just pay me when we get there. That’ll work.”

In most situations I’ll decline a proposal with such an iffy financial outlook.

But she wasn’t going too far, and, like many lawyers, I’m OK with doing some pro bono work now and then.

We turned onto St. Paul Street, heading to Route 7. The girl sat with her hands folded on her lap, somehow freshfaced and dirty at the same time. I don’t mean dirty like a hustler, sleazy and unclean, but she was literally covered with a gossamer layer of road dust.

“What brings you through town?” I asked.

“I heard that this was a good place,” she replied. “You know — like there’s good people here. Do you think so?”

“Well, I’ve done my share of traveling back in the day, and my experience is that there’s good people everywhere.”

She chuckled and pulled her long, dark hair behind her ears, looping it into a ponytail with a thick, red rubber band.

“Well, I don’t know about that,” she said.

I smiled inwardly and thought there was a real sweetness about this girl.

802.865.0068 Burlington, Vermont www.straycatflowers.com

Then she said, “Hey, what’s your name, dude?”

“My name’s Jernigan.”

“Really?”

“Yup. I mean, why would I make up a name? It’s not like I’m a stripper or something. What’s yours?”

“My name is Janice.”

“Well, good to meetcha, Janice,” I said, and took the left into the Shaw’s shopping center. Sure enough, there was a GMC van with its dim lights on, sitting in the shadows at the far end of the parking lot. We pulled alongside it and eased to a stop. Janice instructed, “He said to honk.”

I lightly tapped the horn, and a hulking man pushed open the two back doors of the van and stepped down. He wore black jeans and no shirt or shoes. It occurred to me that if he were riding a skateboard and had a pit bull without a leash, he would be in violation of every single posted rule on the Church Street Marketplace. Well, maybe he’d have to spit a few times, too. His left bicep was wrapped in what looked like Saran Wrap.

He walked around to the passenger side of the cab just as my customer was getting out.

“It’s Janice, right?” he said. “Take a look at this tattoo I told ya I was getting.”

“Sure, dude.”

He carefully rolled down the plastic film to reveal a gold and crimson tiger.

The colors were startlingly vivid; the big cat looked almost liquid. Janice said, “Nice ink.”

“You think so?” the guy said with a leer in his voice. He looked at least 15 years older than Janice. He strode around to me and paid the fare without making eye contact. “C’mon inside the van,” he told Janice. “I got another tat to show you.”

“Let me grab my pack,” she said.

“Right on,” he said, climbing back into his vehicle.

Janice opened the rear door of my cab and lifted out her backpack. She stuck her head back through my door and said, “You think this guy’s a good person?”

The answer that popped into my brain was, No, Janice, I don’t think so. But I simply said, “How can I say? I’ve just met him for two minutes. Just take care of yourself, whatever happens.”

The saddest look washed over her face. For travelers on the edge, mercy can be hard to come by.

“I hope he doesn’t hurt me,” she said, and closed the door.

Her remark hit me like a kick in the stomach. I couldn’t bear to contemplate exactly what she meant by it. For some reason, my mind flashed on a bumper sticker I’ve been seeing a lot lately: “All who wander are not lost.”

True enough, I thought. But some are. 쩾

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, In your recent column about lightning, what intrigued me the most was your mention of “ball lightning — a rare, poorly understood phenomenon that behaves like a mixture of electricity and fire.” The accompanying anecdote was incredible. In the novel Lonesome Dove, there is mention of lightning hopping along the horns of cattle, but I don’t remember if it was in the form of a ball. Do we know any more about it, Cecil?

Ellen Cherry, via the Straight Dope Message Board We don’t know jack, though not for lack of trying.

The first systematic survey of mysterious glowing globules was published in 1838, and countless papers have appeared since. Despite that… well, let’s say we have yet to deal with some basic issues. In the book Ball Lightning: An Unsolved Problem in Atmospheric Physics (1999), British physicist Mark Stenhoff writes, “Ball lightning, if it exists, is a phenomenon that is both short lived and unpredictable” (my emphasis).

Elsewhere he says, “My position is… perhaps that of an agnostic.”

You see my point. Here’s a fellow who devoted more than 20 years of his life to studying ball lightning. He collected numerous case reports, directed the ball lightning division of a UK storm research center, wrote a book — in short, he made a career out of the thing. Yet after all that time — and believe me, I admire the guy for admitting it — he’s not sure if what he was studying is real.

Anybody who questions ball lightning’s authenticity is certain to hear from its defenders. One showdown occurred in 1971. Astrophysicist Edward Argyle suggested in Nature that ball lightning was merely a positive afterimage — i.e., an optical illusion, an idea that dates back to the early days of ball lightning studies. In this view, witnesses are dazzled by an ordinary lightning strike, which remains briefly imprinted

on their retinas. When they look away, the bright, ball-like afterimage seems to move around, then fades.

Other scientists didn’t buy Argyle’s contention, and a lively correspondence ensued. Physicist R.C. Jennison claimed that he had personally witnessed ball lightning during an airplane flight. What’s more, he’d reported the incident in a letter to Nature two years earlier. Here’s the nub: “I was seated near the front of the passenger cabin of an all-metal airliner (Eastern Airlines Flight EA 539) on a late night flight from New York to Washington. The aircraft encountered an electrical storm during which it was enveloped in a sudden bright and loud electrical discharge (0005 h EST, March 19, 1963). Some seconds after this a glowing sphere a little more than 20 cm in diameter emerged from the pilot’s cabin and passed down the aisle of the aircraft approximately 50 cm from me, maintaining the same height and course for the whole distance over which it could be observed.”

In his 1971 letter, Jennison added, “My account tallied precisely with that of the only other occupant of the passenger cabin, a terrified air hostess who was strapped in her seat on the opposite side and farther to the rear of the aircraft. She saw the ball continue to travel down the aisle and finally disappear towards the lavatory at the end. I had no alcohol on this flight.”

To judge from later comments, this exchange was a watershed — previously scientists had been skeptical about ball lightning, but afterward they accepted it as real. However, let’s note a few points. First, notwithstanding the remarkable detail Jennison provides — he even estimates the wattage of the ball’s optical output — he didn’t bother to submit his report until six years after the fact. Second, we have only his word that the flight attendant saw exactly what he did. Third, despite the fact that he must have spent a fair amount of time reviewing the incident with the woman to be certain his account “tallied precisely” with hers, he didn’t bother to report her name. Fourth, there’s no evidence he spoke to the pilots, from whose cabin the ball lightning emerged.

Do I think Jennison made it all up? No, but as any cop, reporter or trial lawyer knows, eyewitness accounts of brief, startling events are often unreliable.

Even a casual review of the literature suggests that much of the damage attributed to ball lightning was caused by the ordinary kind. I don’t claim all the evidence can be explained away or that ball lightning is strictly an illusion, but we’re dealing with a low ratio of signal to noise. Anybody wanting to get to the bottom of this will have to make a systematic effort to establish what we really know.

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

If You Knew Suze

E

very year more and more Americans pay brokers to manage their investment portfolios while receiving most of their financial advice from a TV show. My guess is, a lot of people would be hard-pressed to pick their broker out of a police lineup, but rarely make it through a Saturday night without catching at least a portion of “The Suze Orman Show.”

Of course, it’s hard to miss, given that CNBC airs it four times in the course of the evening — at 8, 9, 11 and midnight. I find that a little of the Emmy-winning self-help guru goes a very, very long way. But apparently I’m in the minority on this one.

Not only is the show the network’s highest-rated weekend offering, it’s so popular that four times a night is just not enough; the financial advice-hungry public has demanded more. So, last week, CNBC answered its prayers with the first-ever “Labor Day Suze Orman Show Marathon”!

Hey, why send your money to Jerry’s Kids when you can put it in T-bills?

Seven straight hours of Suze changes a man. It makes you ask yourself questions. The one I asked myself the most was, “What is it about this woman that makes me want to blow my brains out?”

There may be a handful of you who have not seen the show or heard of Orman. Perhaps you have recently relocated from an Islamic theocracy.

Allow me to bring you up to speed: Suze Orman is the Dr. Phil of finance, the Oprah of fiscal selfimprovement, the Martha Stewart of moola. Raised in Chicago by working-class Russian Jewish immigrants, she studied social work at the University of Illinois and then moved to Berkeley in 1973. For a while she lived in a Ford Econoline van. She spent seven years working as a waitress at a place called the Buttercup Bakery, but made a fortuitous career switch in 1980.

One day Orman simply presented herself at the local Merrill Lynch, where she was hired “to fill the women’s quota,” she says. “My manager told me I’d be gone in six months.” Instead, she became the place’s top seller and got a good look at the business’ dark side. “I saw how brokerage firms would unload stocks in their inventory onto their clients,” she says. “And I saw how they were not looking out for their best interests.”

From there Orman moved to Prudential Bache Securities, where she sold insurance annuities. In 1987 she started her own company, the Suze Orman Financial Group, which she ran for 10 years. Since the mid’90s, Orman has authored four consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including The Courage to Be Rich: Creating a Life of Material and Spiritual Abundance; co-produced a series of successful PBS fundraisers

What is it about her approach to personal finance that has endeared her to so many average Americans while sending the needle on my Shystometer into the red? based on her books; and made regular appearances on QVC, where she holds the network’s all-time sales record for moving 30,000 books in a single hour. If there’s one thing Suze knows, it’s how to sell.

But what is she selling? What is it about her approach to personal finance that has endeared her to so many average Americans while sending the needle on my Shystometer into the red? “There’s nothing novel about her message,” asserts financial writer Stephen Butler in an article on the website PensionDynamics.com called “Orman’s Advice Filled With Holes,” in which he reviews her latest book. “She basically tells us to invest money instead of spending it foolishly. She includes some psychobabble that prods us down the road to understanding why such a simple, reasonable concept is difficult to embrace.” In his analysis of Orman’s advice, Butler employs such phrases as “twisted logic,” “highly questionable” and “just insane.”

Butler is not alone. Jonathan Clements, the Wall Street Journal’s personal finance columnist, wrote, “How awful is Ms. Orman’s latest book? I can think of much better ways to spend $24.95.”

And a few years ago Forbes Magazine published a blistering exposé on Orman in which noted columnist William P. Barrett took her to task for numerous mistruths in her official literature and other troubling inconsistencies. Among them: While her literature claimed that the Suze Orman Financial Group continued to provide financial-planning services, it in fact no longer did. Her literature referred to “nearly 1000 new clients” coming on each year. When pressed, Orman said she meant fans who sent her emails and letters.

Though her video jackets claimed she had worked in Wall Street institu-

tions for 18 years, the actual figure was seven. Contrary to claims made in her book-jacket bio, Forbes discovered, Orman is not a licensed Commodity Trading Advisor.

I’m not sure which I find more irksome — Orman’s fast and loose way with the facts or her new-agey approach to finances. Do you really want to put your or your family’s security in the hands of someone who says things like: “Money has a force to it, an energy field, and I think it responds to you in the same way a human being does. Sometimes it’s healthy; sometimes it doesn’t feel well. It’s attracted to your inner state.

When you’re feeling great and powerful, money’s attracted to you, and when you’re feeling powerless and depressed, money is repelled from you.”

Are those not seven of the loopiest things you’ve ever heard said? I mean by anyone, never mind a best-selling financial authority. I suspect there are people who’ve been put in padded cells all over this country for making less delusional claims. And yet Orman’s books are filled with them.

Like many a televangelist, Orman espouses a deeply held belief in the fact that God wants everybody to be rich, that craving wealth is a sign of spiritual health. “The bottom line,” she told the San Francisco Examiner, “is this: When you treat something with respect, you bring it toward you. When you know the true value of money, you will know how to create wealth, both inner and outer.” All righty, then.

In addition to feeling great and powerful and convincing your money that you respect it, Orman’s tips for achieving financial independence include rummaging through your closets for loose change, not buying French baguettes because they go stale in a day or two, switching from

olive oil to vegetable oil, and pumping your own gas. Something tells me we are not talking the heir apparent to Alan Greenspan.

When I watch her show, I never cease to marvel at three things: Orman’s clothes (she dresses like a refugee from a Eurythmics video), her hair (it appears to be molded from some mysterious manmade substance) and, way scarier than her hair, her hair-trigger wrath.

You think Judge Judy is awesome to behold when she goes ballistic?

She looks like Shirley Temple next to Orman when a viewer calls in to her program and presses the wrong button. Two of her rage’s favorite targets are brokers with whose counsel she disagrees (“Put that advisor on the back burner — and turn up the flame!”) and former boyfriends who have left debt in their wake.

I thought she was going to spontaneously combust during a recent show when a young woman confessed to cosigning for a loan as a favor to an ex, who had since declared bankruptcy. Her eyes wide and her voice raised, Orman demanded, “Nail him to the wall and do everything in your power to ruin him financially!” Or words to that effect. My notes are a little hard to make out. There was a certain amount of trembling.

I guess what I’m getting at is this: The economy’s in shambles. The deficit is spiraling further out of control every day. Decent jobs are disappearing at an unprecedented rate.

Pretty soon my health insurance will cost more each month than my mortgage. These are troubled times.

Can Americans really afford to take advice from someone as seemingly troubled as Suze Orman?

At the risk of repelling money from me, I have to say I find the idea depressing. m

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS

Odor Readers

S IMAGE Jo Scott

idling up to the bar at Lunaroma is a lot different than pulling up a stool in a regular pub. Replacing Swedish vodka and Irish whiskey on the shelves are hundreds of identical, midnight-blue bottles, filled with potions imported from Morocco, Sumatra and Nepal. Instead of pickled eggs and pretzels, massive glass jars hold multicolored powders and dried leaves.

But the person standing behind this “aroma bar” is just as ready to lend an ear and serve up a delicious concoction as any saloonkeeper. “We’re like bartenders,” confirms Leyla Bringas, who started the Burlington aromatherapy business in July 2003. “People sit here, some with a lot of emotional stuff, because they’re divorced, or something happened at work. And then the magic happens behind the counter.”

After listening to her customers’ woes, Bringas begins to select from 140 essential oils, holding a few bottles together and pausing to offer a sniff. A container of coffee beans sits on the counter, to clear the “palate” between sampling each smell. According to advocates of aromatherapy, one of the fastestgrowing fields in alternative medicine, the olfactory barfly may leave with a cure for his troubles — or, suggest skeptics, just a really nice-smelling souvenir.

The basic premise of aromatherapy — that essential oils can improve health and well-being — has been in the air for some 6000 years. Cleopatra is said to have scented her sails while en route to visit Marc Antony; Egyptian physicians embalmed

This summer Vermonters flocked to Lunaroma for an all-natural bug repellent made from essential oils, as well as coffee-derived “Mocha Tan” for improved bronzing. their dead in fragrant oils; and Hippocrates was known to enjoy a scented bath. There’s some dispute about exactly who revived the practice in the 20th century, but most holistic historians credit French chemist Réné Maurice Gattefosse for coining the term aromatherapie in 1928.

Today, the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) defines the approach as “the art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual’s response to aromatic extracts, as well as to observe and enhance the individual’s innate healing process.” At the center of the practice are hundreds of natural, highly concentrated essential oils extracted through distillation from flowers, plants, grasses, bark, fruits, vegetables and trees.

From celery seed and lemon to pine needle and spearmint, these oils are purported to have painrelieving, diuretic, relaxing, antidepressant, antiviral or anti-inflammatory properties. Individuals, or massage therapists, either apply the essential oils topically — to render physical benefits — or inhale them in hopes of mental or emotional benefits. The distinction can be confusing.

“People come in and say, ‘Well, if I smell this, will it make my knee feel better?’” says Bringas, who has studied herbology for 10 years. “Not really. Physical things you apply, and mental and emotional things you inhale,” she says.

The anecdotal benefits of aromatherapy are wide-ranging. Some members of NAHA testify that they have successfully treated asthma, for instance, with aromatherapy. Among the preventative oils: peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass. Those suffering from breast cancer have used ginger, geranium and violet to lessen the side-effects of chemotherapy.

This summer, says Bringas’ business partner Lisa Ecker, Vermonters flocked to Lunaroma for an all-natural bug repellent made from essential oils, as well as coffee-derived “Mocha Tan” for improved bronzing.

“There are a few groups working on using aro-

matherapy with people in elderly facilities to heal bedsores and promote relaxing,” says Bringas. “In Japan, they’ve been using environmental fragrancing for businesses.” Revolted by rosemary? If you visit one Japanese bank, too bad: The smell is pumped through the air ducts to calm impatient customers, while tellers are encouraged to stay alert with wafts of lemon and eucalyptus.

Aromatherapy also allegedly improves poor memory, balances moodiness, solves frustration and unties the knots of constipation. The scientific claims are debatable, however. As Lynn McCutcheon has pointed out in the Skeptical Inquirer, many of aromatherapy’s benefits may stem from a variety of circumstances and not just the oil itself. Drop a little orange blossom in your bath or undergo a chamomile massage and you’ll feel better, she says.

But is it the aromatherapy doing the work, or the hot water and the hands?

Lunaroma fans, many of whom were attracted to proven topical applications and then explored new aromas, are unconcerned. Sara Sudol of Burlington’s Aras salon swears by the shop’s waxing regimen. “It’s not just slopping stuff on the skin,” says Sudol, whose own clients report an absence of typical hair-removal horrors such as ingrown hairs and red, puffy skin. “It really works,” she insists.

Andrea Altman is the treatment manager at the Stoweflake, one of many high-end spas throughout the country that have gone ga-ga over Lunaroma’s hand-blended, regionally accented sugar scrubs, salts and polishes. “Guests are in awe of the aromatherapy treatments,” she says. “They say they can feel their muscles relax, and less pain from past injuries. It works, it feels good and it smells good.”

Some aficionados will pay more than $200 for a 10-milliliter vial of organic rose otto, which is produced in Bulgaria from 5000 pounds of handpicked petals. Along with Madagascar vanilla, this is one of the most expensive essential oils available; a vial of Italian Clementine, at the other end, fetches less than $10.

While the science behind aromatherapy may smell a little fishy to some, the aesthetic appeal is undeniable. As a visit to Lunaroma attests, inhaling the smells of jasmine, sandalwood and rose can be as sublime and personal an experience as viewing an Old Masters painting. Bringas points out the balance between sensuous and therapeutic products as she offers a tour. For me, the line seems blurred.

Smearing a dab of ylang ylang body butter on my hand, I feel a sudden bolt of nostalgia that brings back my late grandmother Nini, mother-ofpearl hairbrushes and the Connecticut woods in spring. A peppermint shower gel is invigorating, while a chocolatey balm tingles my lips. The “Delight” massage oil smells sexy and inviting.

Inhalers open up my nasal passages; scented toothpicks provide an instant mid-afternoon boost.

In addition to these ready-made creams, lotions and lip balms — including a highly-addictive chocolate-mint flavor — Bringas keeps honey, beeswax and other natural products on hands to mix with her assortment of oils for customized bath and body gels. There are also dozens of diffusers, from candles and lamps to a car freshener that plugs into the lighter jack. During a session at the aroma bar, which can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, folks can figure out how to better attract a mate through a customized perfume, care for a stubborn scar or mask their preference for patchouli.

“Patchouli is a love-or-hate oil,” says Bringas.

“Some people don’t want to offend anyone when they’re wearing it.”

Like any good bartenders, Bringas and Ecker remember their regulars’ orders. They keep a recipe for each custom blend on hand, and can alter the ingredients to match changing circumstances. “If we’ve created a product for someone going through a divorce, they may not be as attracted to it later on,” explains Bringas. “And it’s amazing to be supporting somebody’s evolution or their healing process using plants as allies.” m

when lots sold for $8000. Doctors and university types bought them up. It’s also a neighborhood that almost had a rendezvous with history because, you see, it’s Howard Dean’s neighborhood.

One frigid day last winter, yours truly guided a news crew from Dutch Television down there.

They were the only ones during the Dean media frenzy who wanted to see where the frontrunner actually lived.

The reporter was surprised.

And impressed. The home of the world-famous Howard Dean looked quite modest and unpretentious to the frugal Dutchman.

The Deans bought it back in 1986 for around $163,000.

What’s it worth today?

Well, according to City Hall records, South Cove Road has officially turned into a neighborhood of million-dollar homes, even if there won’t be presidential helicopter landings in Oakledge Park anytime soon.

Since last October, three South Cove haciendas have sold for $1 million and up. Not to worry, reappraisal is underway in the Queen City.

Roper Dope — Rob Roper, press secretary to Republican millionaire wacko Jack McMullen, was on “Charlie & Ernie” the other morning implying that yours truly hasn’t mentioned the name of his boss lately because we’d been scared off by McMullen’s challenge to a foot race.

Yes, we’re afraid of selfabsorbed, wealthy lunatics who act like they’re living in a different universe. Always have been.

McLonesome, the geeky-guy from either Massachusetts or Mars, is living out a personal fantasy and using our political stage to do it.

We haven’t mentioned him because it’s a waste of space! So pay attention one last time.

Unlike previous nut-jobs who’ve sought fame and glory in the spotlight of electoral politics, McMullen’s got beaucoup bucks to burn on his quest. He’s already dropped several hundred thousand dollars. Imagine how far that cash would have gone at one of the many budget-strapped charities around the state?

Nope, Jack’s ego comes first.

His TV spot is an exercise in selfworship. Creepy!

He has as much chance of becoming Vermont’s U.S. Senator as I have of playing goalie for the Montréal Canadians. The difference is, I realize it and Jack doesn’t.

The other day the Valley News referred to McMullen’s “political fecklessness.” And “feckless” hits the nail squarely on McMullen’s swollen little head. It means: weak, ineffective, worthless and irresponsible.

Sounds like it fits Jack to a “T.” The fact is, Jack McFeckless couldn’t carry Pat Leahy’s jockstrap, and everybody knows it.

Everybody except Jack.

Now, let’s get back to reality.

Home Again — Sunday’s “You Can Quote Me” on WCAX had a few viewers rubbing their eyes.

Joining Environmental Commissioner Jeff Wennberg as

a guest, the new executive director of the Governor’s Clean and Clear Action Plan looked quite at home on the Ch. 3 set. That’s because Brad Wright spent the 1980s on the same TV set as a versatile news and sports reporter for WGOP, sorry, WCAX-TV. Wright departed for CNN in 1991. The fledgling cable-news network, he said, “got a big bounce” out of the first Gulf War and was hiring big-time. Brad became a producer for “Inside Politics,” wrote copy for Judy Woodruff and Bernard Shaw and in 1995 became a field producer, traveling cross-country on a moment’s notice. He even blew through town for one of Howard Dean’s presidential events.

Ah, the good old days!

And Brad’s wife Doreen Wright is back working as a copy editor in the Burlington Free Press sports department. Doreen’s even making picks on the weekend football games.

Welcome home, folks!

Speaking of Ch. 3 — Mount Mansfield Television is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this weekend with a big bash at the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn. Gov. Jim Douglas and our congressional delegation are expected to attend the invitation-only affair.

No, yours truly didn’t get an invite. Wasn’t expecting one. No hard feelings.

Despite owner Red Martin’s right-wing political leanings and the generous campaign contributions that back them up, Vermont voters have decidedly gone the other way over the last few decades. Red’s picks, such as Susan Sweetser and Ruth Dwyer, never made it, though the more moderate Jim Douglas finally put him in the winner’s circle.

Back when it all began, WCAX was owned by C.P. Hasbrook.

Hasbrook was the publisher of the now-defunct Burlington Daily News. The station went on the air September 7, 1954, with a test pattern. On September 24 the first programs aired. The Age of Television had begun in Vermont.

WCAX has always been a family affair. Red Martin had the good fortune to marry Hasbrook’s daughter. Son Peter Martin has been the GM for years. It’s a tight, well-oiled ship.

It’s also a Vermont cultural institution. Ch. 3’s hour-long evening newscast is the state’s electronic paper-of-record (even more so now that news scripts are posted on the web: www.wcax.com).

And while every company has to watch its bottom line, the Martins have always invested in the best and latest technology money could buy.

In an age of corporate consolidation, where TV stations and even TV networks are owned by giant corporate conglomerates, Vermont’s Ch. 3 is the last of a breed in American broadcasting: a locally owned and operated independent station.

Hear! Hear!

Happy 50th!

Another Happy Birthday! — “Like a bird on a wire. Like a drunk in a midnight choir. I have tried in my way to be free.”

Leonard Cohen, the one-of-akind poet/singer-songwriter from

Montréal turns 70 on Friday.

Time flies, eh?

Since the late 1960s, Cohen’s “Suzanne” has led millions of hearts “down to her place by the river.” And we all got to “see the boats go by” and we all “spent the night beside her.”

And no one can ever separate the haunting beauty of Cohen’s soundtrack from the haunting beauty of Director Robert Altman’s lens in McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

Long ago and far away, in the frozen Minnesota that Bob Dylan left behind, friends trying to lift my spirits used to say, “Will you stop listening to Leonard Cohen! For crissakes, it just makes you depressed!”

Actually, I was depressed, but not because of Leonard. I was depressed because the most corrupt, lying president of my young life, Richard Nixon, had just been re-elected in a landslide. I was depressed because the bad guys were winning and my generation was filling body bags in Vietnam. It wasn’t Leonard Cohen’s fault. All he did was make it bearable, even understandable.

Back in February, I was listening to an Australian radio interview of Belfast-born Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein. It’s still available at www.abc.net.au/queens land/stories/s1044708.htm.

The format called for the guest to have three of his favorite songs played. Two of Gerry’s picks were obvious choices: Luke Kelly’s “A Song for Ireland” and Van Morrison, a fellow Ulsterman, singing “Irish Heartbeat.”

No surprises there, eh?

But when the brave and daring leader of the latest struggle for freedom on the Emerald Isle picked a Leonard Cohen song as his third choice, I did a double take.

Gerry Adams, from the meanest streets of Belfast? Gerry Adams, the former political prisoner? Gerry Adams, who describes himself as “a man who has been blessed by incompetent assassins?”

You mean all these years, while Ireland bled and wept and buried its dead in the eternal struggle for peace and justice, Sinn Fein’s Gerry Adams has been turning on a little Leonard Cohen to keep it together?

“I think Leonard Cohen is a brilliant poet,” said Adams. “He gets the reputation back home, with some people anyway, of being a bit of a depressant. But I just think he’s a marvelous poet.”

Small world, eh?

Mr. Adams’ musical choice was “In My Secret Life,” an interesting selection from one who has led such a public life.

I smile when I’m angry I cheat and I lie I do what I have to do ...to get by.

But I know what is wrong and I know what is right and I’d die for the truth In my secret life.

P.S. The good news is that Leonard, who spent most of the 1990s living as a Buddhist monk at a California Zen center, has a new album coming out next month. It will be released worldwide on October 25. I think we all know two Irishmen who’ll be picking up a copy, eh? m

Short and Sweet

ast Friday, Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium was host to what might have been promoted as Theater for Adults with a Short Attention Span, or as Educators Take the Stage for a Good Cause. Instead, the program just described it as An STORY KRISTEN Evening of Ten-Minute One-Act Plays. To be precise, there were five such pieces: all EATON modern, all except one with a two-person cast, all performed in contemporary clothIMAGE MATTHEW ing and on minimal sets, but in other THORSEN ways diverse. The troupe presenting this event has a name with a bit more panache: Theatre in the Nude Round.

An Evening of As it happened, the group, which Ten-Minute OneAct Plays, produced boasts several professional educators but

by Theatre in not a single professional actor, did not the Nude Round, perform in the round. Instead they opted Burlington City Hall Auditorium, to use the auditorium’s stage. If there was a little false advertising, allowance for September 10, 8 p.m. poetic license had to be made, because the members of this local troupe, and their choice of pieces, more than lived up to the playfulness of their moniker. These theater enthusiasts had been assembled by Paul Curtiss, who both acted and directed in this production. If the members of Theatre in the Nude Round have nearly as much fun in the classroom as they appear to have on stage, they must be inspiring pedagogues.

In “Sure Thing,” veteran skit-writer David Ives jazzes up the tried-and-true boy-meets-girl scenario — in this case, Bill meets Betty. We’re all familiar with those Hollywood romances where guys use great pick-up lines and everything goes according to formula. “Sure Thing” is nothing like that. Betty and Bill experience plenty of clichés, missed connections and rejections. But after each misstep, a bell rings offstage, and they get to start over again from before the offending line. For example, Bill states that he’s “a straight downthe-ticket Republican.” Ding! “Straight down-the-ticket Democrat.” Ding! “I’m unaffiliated,” is his final answer, but he goes on: “So what if I got a 2.0 at —” Ding! “…3.0 at —” Ding! “…4.0 at school.” In other words, like Bill Murray in the movie Ground Hog Day, Betty and

Bill get do-overs. If only we were all so lucky.

To say the least, this would be a shaky premise for a full-length play; eventually, the audience would tire of Betty and Bill’s shifting characteristics. But for 10 minutes it’s pure entertainment. Sure, messages can be pulled from Ives’ text, but its chief benefit may be the vicarious thrill that results when the bell-ringer erases Bill’s line, “So, what’s a girl like you doing alone on a Saturday night?”

Actors Paul Curtiss and Judith Kurtz, along with director Nina Hulst, could have played up that effect by making the transitions a bit crisper — sometimes Kurtz was still reacting to Curtiss’ faux pas (or vice versa) well after the bell had rung.

This trio did master delivering lines, and bell rings, with delightful variety.

After a series of rapid-fire “So what if I…” lines and instant bell rings, Curtiss asked, “So what if I don’t have a penis?”

There was a pause. The audience waited.

Then, to roars of laughter and spontaneous applause, Curtiss grimaced, the question clear on his face: What if the bell doesn’t ring? The pause had obviously been planned; the bell did ring, and the couple continued until each was tailor-made for the other.

“Ferris Wheel,” by Mary Miller, is a more typical boy-meets-girl piece, but it still has plenty of quirks. Two strangers, John and Dorrie, share a seat on a Ferris wheel. John, a traveling salesman, smokes, but Dorrie convinces him to quit coldturkey. Dorrie talks too much when she’s nervous — and she’s afraid of heights. The Ferris wheel is a birthday tradition for her; her father used to say you should do something you’re afraid of at least once a year. The two bond over their neuroses until they step off the Ferris wheel and part until, perhaps, next year.

Actors Todd Norman and Julie May Daniels, with the assistance of director Jonathan Silverman, delivered an endearing piece. Daniels’ demeanor communicated the source of her nervous chatting — sometimes her acrophobia and some-

times John’s advances. Norman’s performance balanced John’s insecurities and worldliness such that it was believable, and not aggressive, for him to kiss her “to stop [her] from talking.”

Meanwhile, Bert rapturously praises the script. He has, he says, only two complaints: the language and the form. Because of the language, which includes

Betty and Bill experience plenty of clichés, missed connections and rejections.

But after each misstep, a bell rings offstage, and they get to start over again.

Hardy Boys and the Mystery of Where Babies Come From,” which might be subtitled “Boy Discovers Girl — Almost,” straddles a line between irreverent and tasteless. As there was some non-traditional casting, it was hard to tell just how old the Hardy boys were supposed to be. Brian MacDonald and Jonathan Silverman played about half their real ages as Frank and Joe Hardy.

They did almost too good a job: Sometimes Frank and Joe came off as a bit too young to be around the sex-fiend Nurse Ratched, played by Kym Mooney. But the fact that this skit parodies the ’70s TV show “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries,” in which Frank and Joe were in their late teens, places it safely in the realm of irreverent and makes it all the funnier that they must go “sleuthing” to find out why Nancy Drew has to get married just because she has “a bun in the oven.”

“Anything for You,” by Cathy Celesia, was the evening’s most dramatic piece. But there is plenty of humor involved as soon as happily married Lynette interrupts Gail’s small talk to declare, “I have to have an affair.”

What starts out as banter between best friends soon escalates to a test of their friendship.

Jenifer Tuck as Lynette and Nina Hulst as Gail worked well together; Tuck’s bold performance contrasted with Hulst’s often guarded demeanor. Tuck’s broad, comfortable gestures indicated she just might be serious when she said “anyone’s a candidate.”

Hulst’s superficially prissy objections made one wonder who she was protecting — Lynette, Lynette’s husband, or herself.

“American Welcome,” by Irish playwright Brian Friel, addresses a relationship that is neither romantic nor platonic.

Rather, it is a business meeting between a loquacious American director named Bert and a playwright. Friel simply lists the playwright as “foreigner,” but Bert calls him everything from John Smith to Tony Brown in a

terms like boot (as in trunk) and chemist (as in pharmacist), Bert has had the play “translated” for an American audience. And because of its monologue-based form, he has had that adapted, too; the result, apparently, is less an example of sensitive storytelling and more like the inyour-face approach of, say, director Baz Luhrman.

One can imagine that Friel wrote “American Welcome” to get a little of his own back (perhaps after a real-life conversation with an American director about, say, his monologue-based play Molly Sweeney). And he does: “American Welcome” is an excellent example of how a monologue should work. In short, it should be a dialogue, usually between a character and himself. (“To be, or not to be,” Hamlet wonders, and argues for both options.) But “American Welcome” is much more clearly a dialogue — between Bert and the playwright. It’s just that the playwright never gets a word in edgewise.

Paul Curtiss, who both directed and played the foreigner, and Josh Demers as Bert understand this. Demers achieved a variety of tones in his performance while playing to the speechless Curtiss, who responded with memorable expressions. But they could have developed this “dialogue” even further; for example, Curtiss might have almost spoken several times and been cut off by Demers. Still, this rendition certainly got the spirit of the piece across.

The most remarkable element of Theatre in the Nude Round’s performance was the troupe’s obvious eagerness to experiment and play. True, they lacked the polish of professional actors; most of the pieces contained pauses that, while realistic, are out of place on stage where anything that takes up time must be justified or deleted. But these volunteer actors and directors made strong choices and created compelling pieces. Their decision to donate the proceeds to Straight Talk Vermont was a strong choice as well. 쩾

Air Time Getting the lowdown on a high-flying engineer

N

othing can cause butterflies in your stomach like getting into a plane with the word “Experimental” stenciled behind the seats and this warning on the instrument panel: “This Aircraft Is Amateur Built and Does STORY Not Comply with the Federal Safety SARAH Regulations for Standard Aircraft.” But I TUFF climb into the cockpit anyway, reassured after an hourlong chat that my pilot, IMAGES Bruce Uvanni, is a reasonably sane, safe MATTHEW person. The 46-year-old from Shelburne THORSEN is, after all, an IBM engineer — who just happens to have some of the most hairraising hobbies in the company.

Uvanni has built this bird — a shiny Vans RV-6A — from scratch, jumped from a plane hundreds of times, and leapt from an 876-foot bridge into a gorge. He describes this last experience as “a horrible feeling,” and yet he repeats it every October. Yep, sane and safe.

Uvanni twists, pushes and pulls a few knobs, and we’re off, shooing the seagulls from the Shelburne Airport runway, a blip of grassy landing strip tucked behind the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. The propeller whirs and suddenly we’re flying away on a wing and — in my case — a prayer.

According to the magazine Kitplanes, between 55,000 and 100,000 aviation enthusiasts around the world are currently in the process of building an aircraft, hoping to save money and improve performance. “The speed, handling, landing capabilities and custom designs are not available in 50-year-old factory-built planes,” says Kitplanes publisher Cindy Peterson.

“And by trading sweat equity, they get much more plane for the dollar.”

A brand-new Cessna 182, for example, fetches more than $200,000, while a com-

parable kitplane costs half as much to build. Plus, the builder can save thousands of dollars on mechanic expenses by learning how to make repairs alone.

This is a frightening concept to someone who can’t even fix a faucet, but making, and flying, a homemade plane was a natural pull for Uvanni. “It’s every kid’s dream to be a pilot,” he says. “But one of the expensive parts about owning an airplane isn’t buying or flying it, it’s the maintenance. If you build your own, you become the repairman for that airplane.”

Growing up in Rome, New York, Uvanni began to hike, bike and rock climb — and build model cars and airplanes. “I was always getting into mischief, but not really anything dangerous,” he says.

“When I was in high school I wanted to go into the Air Force and become a pilot, but back then you needed 20/20 vision and I had something like 20/30, 20/40; it was enough to knock me out.”

After graduating from Clarkson University and joining IBM in 1980, Uvanni was stationed in Portland, Oregon, where he began studying toward his pilot’s license in 1984. “At that point I thought about building my own plane,” he says. “I had the itch as soon as I started flying.” But with little free time on his hands, and concerns about how big the project would be, Uvanni waited until 1999 to make the leap. After helping out a friend who was building a similar model, he made two major purchases. The first was a factory-built 1940 Luscombe aircraft with fire-engine-red flanks. “One of the toughest things about building an airplane is not having one to fly,” explains Uvanni. “You’ve got the toy in front of you, but you can’t play.” >> 24A

Dear member of the community, Vermont CARES is taking a courageous step, but we cannot do it without your support… we have made the decision to decline just under $100,000 in federal prevention dollars from the Vermont Department of Health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which controls these dollars, has issued new directives under the Bush/Cheney administration that, if enacted, would contradict Vermont CARES’ mission to provide safe, accessible, non-judgmental prevention for people at risk of HIV. After close to two decades of providing HIV prevention, we strongly believe the most recent constraints would irreparably jeopardize existing HIV Prevention programming, programming that must be delivered with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. The new directives include an approach which is unjustifiable and would keep people from accessing HIV prevention. The following is a brief outline of what the directives would entail: 1. People accessing HIV prevention would be required to divulge personal information including specific numbers and frequency of sexual and needle sharing activities. This invasive approach will further alienate already marginalized people and validate the very shame and stigma associated with this virus; 2. People accessing “anonymous” HIV testing and other prevention would be obligated to disclose potentially identifying information that will be entered into a federal database allowing the government to track individuals. With this unwarranted data collection we cannot guarantee anonymity, fear of identification is one of the main reasons people are reluctant to get tested; 3. Standardizing HIV prevention programs that have been proven effective largely in urban areas. For us to alter programming tailored to and proven effective in rural Vermont, and replace it with models proven in large urban areas is irrational and irresponsible; 4. Organizations would be forced to include abstinence-based messages and question the efficacy of condoms throughout prevention materials. Ultimately this creates barriers to HIV prevention information rather than making information accessible to those who need it the most.

I hope that you will join us for AIDS Walk this Saturday, September 18th at 10:30 at City Hall Park, Burlington.

Thank you for joining us in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Kendall Farrell Executive Director The mission of Vermont CARES is to improve the quality of life, create compassionate communities and prevent the spread of HIV by working with people affected by HIV/AIDS as catalysts for social and individual change.

Then, he sent away for the Vans RV-6A kit. “I chose it because it’s fast, it’s pretty much all metal — I’m better at working with metal than fiberglass,” he says. “Plus, the support group’s out there, with almost 3000 similar planes flying in the United States.” (The RV-6A is also the choice of the Nigerian Air Force — not exacting the most intimidating swarm in the African sky, but one of the most stylish.) Still, with two years, or 2000 estimated hours, of work ahead of him, Uvanni says, “It was pretty daunting.”

In fact it’s been four years, and 3000 hours since the first parts arrived at his garage, and he’s still not quite finished with the paintwork and other finishing touches. “The last 10 percent takes as long as the first 90 percent,” says Uvanni.

In 2002 he bought some property next to the Shelburne

don’t get bored,” he says, explaining that the set is for instructional videos. “Sometimes I’d get frustrated, reading the directions or looking aat the drawings and not being able to figure out what they were saying.” He pulls out a thick sheath of drawings, and I agree — I can’t even figure out which way is up.

“There are times when you work on things and you don’t see what you’ve done at the end of the day — those were frustrating, too,” says Uvanni. “But there were days when [I had] a finished part in my hand — those were rewarding. And the ultimate reward is when you take off for the first time.”

Uvanni took his first flight on the RV-6A in August 2003, but “there was something drastically wrong,” he recalls. “It was nerve-racking, very scary.” After taking off and landing three times, he finally figured out that

100-way in Massachusetts — alas, only 81, including Uvanni, made it due to weather problems, he says.

And then there’s the “free way,” in which jumpers eschew airplanes altogether and leap from a building, antenna, span or the earth — the four platforms form the acronym BASE. There’s a heart-pounding freefall before the chute opens — just four or five seconds — and about a minute, Uvanni says, to set up for landing.

Because nobody wants to be responsible for potentially splattered bodies on their property, BASE jumping is illegal in many places. Uvanni got hooked, legally, in October 1999 during Bridge Day in West Virginia, when officials opened the span over the New River Gorge to the public — including parachutists.

Airport and built his own hangar, where he now stores the Luscombe, the RV-6A and the skeleton of his next project, a Murphy Moose seaplane. The two working planes stand tip to tail in the immaculate workspace. “It’s a lot more complicated than it seems,” Uvanni suggests, showing me part of the Moose. What looks like a rabbit-ears antenna turns out to be the center reinforcer for the “elevator” on the back of the plane.

In a time-consuming process, holes must be drilled, clecoes (temporary fasteners) inserted and everything aligned perfectly before the rivets are attached.

No wonder kitplane builders need support groups.

I notice a television set at one end of his workbench, and ponder aloud whether Uvanni watches “Wheel of Fortune” or other shows to prevent boredom while building. He laughs. “I

Not that falling from the sky would have been anything new to Uvanni, who began skydiving in 1989 while stationed in Austin, Texas, and has since logged some 1400 jumps.

“Skydiving is like flying: you’re in control,” he says. “You’re falling through the air, but you use that air to fly your body, and you can fly over to people.”

Uvanni uses this technique in his “social” sky dives, or “big ways,” in which dozens, even hundreds, of people attempt to hold hands while plummeting toward the ground. Last February in Thailand, 357 skydivers set the new world record for the largest freefall formation; this summer Uvanni and others went for a regional record with a

I ask Uvanni if he’s scared to BASE jump. “Yes, yes!” he says emphatically. “When you’re looking over the edge and watching the others jump, it’s a horrible feeling. But once you go, you’re rushing to get that next jump in.”

After hearing about his most frightening moment — when his hand slipped from the chute on a Bridge Day in West Virginia — I’m relieved he doesn’t invite me to join him this October. But it’s then, just as I’m about to head for the relative safety of my Toyota, that Uvanni asks if I’d like to fly in the RV-6A. How can I refuse? I cross my fingers and say yes. Shortly after takeoff, I manage to peel my eyes away from the warning placard and gape down at the shores of Lake Champlain, where evening is creeping in. We fly over the Basin Harbor Club and the mouth of the Otter Creek as the sun streams through the clouds, then back north over Mount Philo. It’s a tiny glimpse of the thrills that 3000 hours and a sky full of patience can purchase. 쩾

T STORY

PETER KURTH “40 Years, 400 Verses: Slices of New York.” Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, Flynn Center, Burlington.

Through October 23.

New York State of Mind here’s no way to start this piece except with the phrase, “9/11.” I say “the phrase,” because the symbol “9/11” contains a meaning not inherent in the numbers themselves. Now and forever, these digits carry an unspoken weight of change, disaster and loss. There’s no getting around it — there never will be.

It’s the same with “40 Years, 400 Verses: Slices of New York,” the joint exhibit of pictures by Burlington photographer Sandy Milens and poetry

by Seven Days’ art critic Marc Awodey, now on display at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery. With only a few exceptions, neither Milens’ shots of New York City nor Awodey’s poems about it — specifically, haiku mounted on plain white paper and interspersed around and between the photographs — were con-

But for three years and counting, all creative work focused on the city as a place bears an automatic, conceptual relationship to the terrorist catastrophe; even a collection of exclusively pre-9/11 work will be understood inevitably as “how it used to be.”

An example of this is Milens’ 1966 “Easter Couple,” a beautifully rendered photograph, rich in color and crisp textures. Its subject matter — a couple returning from church services in their Sunday best — is sweetly evocative of a relatively harmless moment in urban America. Or so it seems on the surface.

The same is true of “Mews Mother” and “Thanks Frank,” also from 1966, in which calm, ease, elegance and order belie the terrors we know will come later — if not sooner. You never can tell. For all we know, the child depicted in “Mews

Mother” is the young Etan Patz, about to be kidnapped on his way to school, and the Easter couple, husband and wife, are the folks across the garden in Rear Window, one of them soon to be murdered, chopped in pieces and smuggled out of town in a suitcase.

Not everyone will recognize Milens’ indebtedness here to the aesthetic pattern of Vogue magazine in the 1960s, or, stretching it a bit, Norman Rockwell’s Saturday Evening Post covers. But one thing is certain — this vision of American life has not merely vanished, it’s been vaporized.

Milens’ sweeping view of the definitive American city over four decades is proper to New York’s overwhelming scale and constant evolution. His 21 portraits engage the horror of the 9/11 terrorist attacks largely by accident, but something happens to his work in the half-dozen pictures made after the event — they take on a new sorrow. With thoughtful, technical manipulation, Milens does what all New Yorkers do: He looks away. The phrase, the concept, the memory of 9/11 may evoke a Medusa-grief, in that you can’t bear to look at it directly. Yet Milens’ mounting fascination with reflectivity, transparency and depth in time situate the disaster in a larger truth: New York City, as people actually experience it, has a tremendous, unstoppable mass.

The best pictures in the show are the most recent.

“Basketball, Artist’s Proof ” (2003-2004, in progress) is a jubilant, percussive work that seems to shake off the unlimited degree of control to which computerized photography has inured us. “Chinese Kitchen Interior” and “Chinese

The agitation visible in “Girls in Brighton” and “Saks — Balloon” (also c. 2002) is at once frenzied and delicate, accidental and highly mannered. These are pictures you can almost smell.

And one of them, “Girl on Subway,” is simply brilliant. Innocent and worldly, tender and indifferent, human and hard — this is New York in the deepest sense. It needs no title, no date and — alas — no haiku to explicate it.

This is not to say that Marc Awodey’s poems — drawn from his larger published collection, NEW YORK: a haibun journey — aren’t strong and provocative things in themselves. Written during an extended trip to the city that never sleeps and showing just the right signs of exhaustion and despair, they are “a poetic voyage into a harrowing artistic and spiritual nether world,” as Roy Morrison remarks in his forward to Awodey’s book. “What Awodey evokes is the kind of pathos and desperate insight of the Consul in Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano.”

The haibun form, Morrison explains, is “traditionally a mixture of narrative combined with a concluding haiku.” At the Tarrant Gallery, only the haiku are on view, and so the larger context — what you might call the atmosphere and texture — of Awodey’s NEW YORK is strangely lacking:

Milens’ pictures and Awodey’s haiku aren’t directly related or engaged. Yet, as mounted, they appear to be.

’ve arrived a little early at Lyndonville State College for my interview with Northeast Kingdom writer Garret Keizer. What I know about him is that he’s a middle-aged ex-high school teacher, unpulpited Episcopal priest and author of a new book entitled Help: The Original Human Dilemma. Seeing no one who seems to fit that description, I decide to duck into the ladies’ room.

There’s a girl in there, presumably a student, sitting cross-legged on the floor inside the first stall and facing sideways, backpack beside her.

My first thought is that she’s painting or repairing the door, my second that she’s committing an act of vandalism. But if that’s the case, why isn’t she trying to hide? And how am I supposed to read the sheepish little smile she gives me as I move on to the next stall? When I come out, she’s still there. But now she’s leaning so far forward that her head nearly touches the tiles between her knees.

Is she ill? Upset? Should I ask if she’s OK? I’m a stranger at this school, and I’ve come upon this young woman by chance. Does simply being here make me responsible for her well-being? Would she welcome my assistance or resent my interference? What if she wants to talk, and I’m late for my appointment? Why am I even worrying about this?

Keizer’s book-length essay, which hits stores this week, explores just these sorts of questions.

Help, he writes, “cuts about as close to the bone of what it means to be human as any topic I can think of. We are, almost by definition and certainly from the beginning of our lives, creatures who require a lot of help.”

But offering — and accepting — assistance can be a sticky matter. What compels us to help others? How do we decide who merits help, and how much help is enough? How responsible are we for the outcomes of our assistance? Drawing on experiences from his own life, as well as examples such as the parable of the good Samaritan and Norman Mailer’s championing of convicted felon Jack Abbot, Keizer ponders such issues as the motivation of missionaries, the perils of freelance philanthropy, the sociology of compassion and the coping mechanisms of professional helpers.

Written in a rambling, conversational style, Help is part personal essay, part feature journalism and part Bible study. Keizer’s vivid character sketches and anecdotes will likely hit home with anyone who’s ever tried to help a client, friend or stranger who seemed beyond redemption — or possibly not worth the effort.

And in these days of faith-based initiatives and firefighter figurines, Keizer’s thoughtful, sometimes surprising comments about social responsibility and the conflicting claims of public and private welfare merit discussion.

Those hoping for prescriptions, however, should look elsewhere. Though Help lays out lots of questions, it often leaves readers to figure out the answers for themselves. >> 30A

The Accidental

Altruist

BY KEN PICARD

A former emergency medical technician remembers the rush

c

arrie bounced off the front grill of the cargo van and tumbled across the pavement; it was like someone was shooting craps with an uncooked turkey leg. The 19-year-old undergrad at the University of Texas had been rushing to class across four lanes of heavy noonday traffic in downtown Austin when she got stranded on the double-yellow line. A considerate driver in the left lane stopped and waved her across, but Carrie was too preoccupied with her upcoming calculus quiz to think about selfpreservation. She never even saw the van that came up in right lane, hammered her out of her shoes and threw her, literally, at my feet as I walked on the sidewalk.

It was early autumn 1994 and I was already riding a streak of bad luck that was testing the limits of my altruism. Repeatedly over the previous few months I’d found myself the first one on the scene when some cowboy rolled his pickup in a puddle of motor oil on the highway. Three times that summer, I’d pulled up behind a vehicle lying on its back like a sun-baked turtle, with nary a police car or fire engine in sight. Within seconds, the driver would crawl out of the wreckage with a roadmap of blood across his forehead. Always the good Samaritan, I dutifully pulled over and provided assistance until the municipal meat wagon arrived.

The van that creamed Carrie had slammed on the brakes just before impact, so the collision looked much worse than it was. Like many accident victims, she instinctively stood up and staggered around until I ordered her to lie down and wait for the ambulance. Her right arm was shattered and she was terrified, but otherwise her injuries were minor. We didn’t know that at the time, though, and during the two or three harrowing minutes before the paramedics showed up, I tried to keep us both calm and still; my heart was probably racing as fast as hers.

“Whenever you find yourself in the same kind of predicament for the third or fourth time,” Garret Keizer suggests in Help: The Original Human Dilemma, “God is trying to tell you something.” Apparently, God was either trying to tell me that Texans can’t drive worth shit — something I knew already — or that it was time to train for a new career: professional trauma junkie.

Later that day, as I recounted my adventures to a doctor friend and revealed my woeful ignorance about what to do in such predicaments, she suggested I get certified as an Emergency Medical Technician, or EMT. At the time, I was just finishing a Master’s degree in writing, and my days were consumed with pounding a keyboard for six to eight hours at a stretch. I figured that spending a few nights each week talking about gunshot wounds, compound fractures and arterial bleeding would be a relaxing diversion.

It’s a risky approach. But Keizer’s track record suggests readers will stay for the ride. His Harper’s Magazine story about noise pollution appears in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2002. His article about the implications of the Abu Graib prisoner-abuse photos was published in Mother Jones. Help follows four previous books: two memoirs, a young adult novel and a 2002 collection of essays entitled The Enigma of Anger.

Jay Parini is a poet, author, Middlebury College professor and long-time fan of Keizer’s work. “He speaks from a center that seems to me compulsively moral, in a good way,” Parini says, “whether he’s talking about his relationships with students or the natural world or theological-philosophical issues. There seems to me a quest for moral clarity that’s very rare these days.”

Bill McKibben, a Middlebury scholar-in-residence and the author most recently of Enough, says Help is “unlike any book I’ve read in a long time — morally serious in a powerful way and beautifully written.”

By the time this story goes to print, an estimated 1.4 million National Public Radio listeners across the country — though not in Vermont — will have heard Keizer on the syndicated, call-in “Diane Rehm Show.”

More appearances, on radio and in person, are scheduled for Washington, D.C., Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Vermont.

Today’s interview is his first, Keizer announces almost as soon as he arrives — right after he’s apologized for making me wait. He’s nervous about the upcoming tour, he says, and grateful for the opportunity to practice. And then, in a move I soon recognize as quintessential Keizer, he immediately backs up and reassures, “I didn’t mean to suggest that this interview isn’t important.”

At 51, Keizer is a slight man with a steely crew cut, mustache and goatee. He wears a blue work shirt and comes carrying a briefcase. Although — or because — his book is filled with personal revelations about the all-too-human reactions his various acts of assistance have provoked, he’s careful to maintain a clear boundary between his public and private lives. He’s stipulated that this interview take place at the Lyndonville State Library, where he did much of the research for his book, rather than at his home in nearby Sutton.

Initially soft-spoken and perhaps a bit shy, he quickly warms up to his topic once we’ve settled into a private conference room. He speaks passionately and expansively, in the same sort of long, looping, complete sentences that mark his writing. It’s not hard to picture him holding forth in a classroom, or on a pulpit. It’s also easy to imagine him “abiding,” as he puts it, one-on-one with a struggling student or a troubled parish-

ioner. In between paragraphs, he takes care to check in with me: to make sure I’ve understood, to thank me for my question or to invite me to steer him back, should he veer too far off course.

One theme Keizer keeps returning to is religion. These days, using the “G word” is

In 1979, the couple moved to Orleans. He taught at Lake Region High School for the next 17 years — until he realized the job wasn’t letting him spend enough time with his daughter Sarah, who was then in the sixth grade. He decided to homeschool her. The year after he

often interpreted as a sign of right-wing fundamentalism. But Keizer, who makes a point in his book of dumping on Republicans and defending same-sex marriage, says that having faith is as essential to his identity as is his gender.

He grew up outside Paterson, New Jersey, in a Dutch Reform family. Though attending Sunday school was a given, “I never felt that religion was being crammed down my throat,” he says, “which was probably a good thing for my religious development.”

What he developed was a knack for simultaneously questioning and believing — a blend of inquiry and idealism that pervades Help. It was already evident when he was a teenager and the time came to make his confession of faith. Keizer declined, and was sent to the pastor to explain. “I said I thought there were some contradictions in the Bible,” he recalls.

Rather than chastise him, the minister pointed out a few more inconsistencies he’d missed. “He didn’t convince me to stay,” Keizer says, “but I left feeling that I wasn’t dealing with an enemy.”

The move to the Episcopal Church was gradual. When Keizer married his Catholic wife Kathy, the Church of England — with its uniformity of ritual and diversity of belief — offered the couple a comfortable common ground. Studying the Anglican poets George Herbert and John Donne as a graduate student at the University of Vermont deepened Keizer’s connection to the church. He worked for a while in the Burlington office of what was then called the Vermont Job Service. It was a short walk from there to St. Paul’s Cathedral, where he liked listening to the organ. Keizer was eventually confirmed there.

retired, though, Keizer went back to teach one class gratis: “The Bible as Literature.”

Since coming to the Kingdom, his religious involvement had deepened. A few years after he arrived, the priest at Keizer’s Newport church invited him to give a guest sermon. Not long afterwards, he asked Keizer if he would read the morning service and deliver sermons in Island Pond, which didn’t have an Episcopal priest. Although Keizer had never attended seminary or received any theological training, in 1992 he was ordained under a canon designed to provide indigenous clergy to outlying congregations.

A year ago, Keizer gave up his pulpit to write full-time — and, it seems, to preserve a certain equilibrium. Echoing an issue he explores in Help, he explains, “As a priest or a teacher, you come into contact with some of the more dysfunctional areas of life and it can make you cynical.

I didn’t want to stay in the priesthood long enough for that to happen to me.”

Keizer reflects on his work as a teacher and a preacher in No Place But Here: A Teacher’s Vocation in a Rural Community (1988) and A Dresser of Sycamour: The Finding of a Ministry (1991). His classroom experience also inspired the 2002 novel God of Beer, which is set in a rural Vermont high school.

Working at the job service in Burlington, and especially in the economically depressed Northeast Kingdom, has brought Keizer into contact with lots of people in desperate circumstances. In Help, he ruminates on what it’s been like to put himself out on their behalf — a mixed bag, in terms of both his enthusiasm and his apparent effectiveness.

To broaden his perspective, Keizer interviews a handful of

AN EXCERPT FROM HELP I want the Samaritan…to be a woman, and I want her to cry through her swollen lips and loosened teeth that although she knows this is a terrible thing to do to another person, she’ll never be able to leave the man who did it to her because she loves him more than life itself and if he goes out of her life she would just as soon be dead. For good measure, I want her to say that she still thinks she can help him. I want the good Samaritan, also a woman, to cry out, “Are you nuts?” followed by a question more sober but no less pertinent to the situation: “Am I?” I want the Samaritan — very much I want this — to get into a big argument over putting the victim on his animal. I want to see him stand in the middle of the road in the pose of someone daring God to strike him dead on the spot, and I want to hear him scream, “Just get on the fucking donkey.” I want the man on the road to say that if it’s all the same to the Samaritan, he’d just as soon not because right before the robbers arrived he managed to slide his entire colored glass bong collection into the bushes, in which he has invested, like, pretty much his whole life savings and which, thank God, the robbers never found, being hugely distracted with kicking the crap out of him, and because a donkey’s never going to be able to take all that weight, okay? So, like, could we put the pipes on the donkey and maybe I could ride on you?

Northeast Kingdom residents for whom helping is a vocation.

A local Peace Corps volunteer talks about continuing to work with Paraguayan villagers even after they’d stolen his clothes.

Keizer discusses the case of a hospice doctor in Caledonia County who’s been reprimanded for administering a fatal dose.

Keizer also considers copious examples from literature, history and current events. His sevenpage bibliography ranges from Dante to Malcolm X to a Vermont Public Radio news report about Burlington’s Onion River Co-op. Despite the diversity of his sources, however, Keizer clarifies, “I’m not a scholar and I hope I’m not a preacher.”

Some readers may wish he were more preachy — or at least more explicit about his intentions. One conclusion that does comes through loud and clear is the author’s conviction that definite answers not only are elusive, but can do more harm than good. Keizer sees Help as “a conscious act of dissent against some of the assumptions of selfhelp literature,” that is, “that our problems are due to a lack of technical information.” If only we knew the correct formula and followed it, the theory goes, our problems would be solved.

Unfortunately, human experience is complex, and believing otherwise can cause someone who’s making the best of an impossible situation to feel like a failure.

Rather than offering definitive answers, Keizer simultaneously acknowledges how hard it can be to do the right thing, and attests that it’s imperative to try.

Or, as he puts it, “Here’s the darkness. Here’s the crap. Here are our limitations. It’s worth striving against the darkness anyway.”

Although Keizer insists that he’s not interested in holding himself up as a model, his gritty and often brutally honest selfscrutiny is reassuring. As Keizer explains it, he wants the reader to say, “I’ve got some crap to deal with. This guy obviously has some crap to deal with, but across the distance he’s saying, ‘I’m here, this can be done.’”

Acknowledging “the crap” also gives Keizer’s moral stance more clout. To illustrate, he tells me the story of a Buddhist nun who was in the process of burning to death. When a disciple asked, “What is it like?” the nun replied, “It hurts, you imbecile.”

Does Keizer worry about how he represents in print people he knows? “I worry about everything,” he admits, then adds, “On any given day, I can think of five compelling reasons why I shouldn’t write at all.” He lists: killing trees; adding to society’s saturation of bad ideas; the possibility of hurting people; the potential to mislead people; and “being in a solipsistic career when one might be doing something helpful in the world.”

That last consideration — the worry that one could, and maybe should, be doing more —

is hardly restricted to writers. It’s the kind of doubt a person is likely to experience if, say, they walked into a public restroom and saw a young woman sitting on the floor. Some folks would stop to offer assistance. Others would look for ways to justify moving along — as I did. The desire to limit one’s responsibility to others prompts the question that kicks off the parable of the good Samaritan, a story Keizer discusses in detail in Help.

In response to the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, a man asks Jesus, “But who is my neighbor?” Jesus tells the story of a traveler whom robbers strip, beat and leave half dead. A priest and a Levite both pass the man by, but a traveling Samaritan stops. He tends to the man’s wounds, then puts him on his animal and takes him to an inn, where he entrusts his care to an innkeeper, leaving behind money for his upkeep and a promise to meet any additional expenses when he returns. After telling the story, Jesus asks which of the three travelers was a neighbor to the wounded man. When the listener answers, “The one who showed him mercy,” Jesus tells him, “Go and do likewise.”

The Samaritan is clearly the hero, but he’s no martyr. He “goes the extra mile,” Keizer writes, “but he hardly goes the whole distance.” Instead of taking the wounded man on as his personal project, he leaves him in the hands of someone who’s in a better position to provide follow-up care. In other words, he takes care of himself as well as the other guy. He’s following a commandment to love his neighbor as himself, not instead of himself. Taking care not to destroy yourself in the process of helping someone else is a good rule of thumb for knowing how much help is enough, Keizer believes. But it still leaves room for doubt.

Some circumstances are clearer than others. In one chapter, Keizer imagines the calculation: “I may go into a concentration camp if I hide the person at my door, but he will definitely go if I don’t, so his 100 percent overrules my 50.” However, Keizer writes, “In situations less dire, the math can become more complicated…Life given for life may actually be an easier sacrifice to make than an afternoon — and let’s make it a sunny afternoon — wasted on a loser.”

We might hold back help to avoid being played for fools.

What if the girl in the bathroom is some sort of con artist? “Along with the fight-or-flight response,” Keizer writes, “most of us have what might be called the cynic-or-sucker response to need.”

Growing too accustomed to suffering can also wear down compassion. Keizer cites Bruno Bettleheim, who wrote, “A few screams evoke in us deep anxiety and a desire to help. Hours of screaming without end lead us only to wish that the screamer would shut up.” What if I helped the girl in the bathroom, and the next day returned to

find her right back there again?

What determines how we’re likely to act when faced with prolonged need? One factor may be how we see ourselves. Keizer considers the case of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, a Protestant village in France where 5000-some Jewish refugees were saved from the Holocaust. He speculates that the townspeople may have been moved to courage because of their own history of persecution at the hands of the Catholics. That legacy might have turned into a tradition of anti-Catholic grievance. Instead, they identified with the oppressed.

The villagers were compassionate, but not pushovers.

Keizer relates how when a refugee en route to her safe house complained about the rain, her escort replied, “What of my friend…who found the house for you? The rain fell on her. She ran around at night, put herself in danger…and you are saying that you can’t walk this distance because of the rain?” Keizer calls the speaker “someone who is well beyond the posture of long-suffering servant of the human race. She is being herself in the process of extending herself.” The Chambonnais, he concludes, “could give of themselves because they had selves to give.”

In a different decade, the caring citizens of Le Chambon might be found forgoing a weekend on the golf course to wield hammers for Habitat for Humanity. One might assume Keizer would laud such altruism, and he does. But he also takes a broader view, and deems it less than ideal. “Bringing about social good shouldn’t be left to the good will of individuals,” he explains. “When you leave welfare to volunteerism, that’s only as good as the best people on their best days. When we make laws and set policies regarding people’s welfare, we say we’re not thinking about this all this time, but we’re going to take our best intentions and make them the norm.”

Keizer isn’t worried that eliminating the need for charity might deprive us of opportunities for virtue. “There will always be room in utopia for people to help each other,” he remarks.

How much help should we provide in the public sphere? “A whole lot more than we do now,” Keizer declares. But when it comes to personal opportunities to help others, “There’s no hard-and-fast rule,” Keizer says.

“That’s part of the adventure of being alive. On any given day I may encounter a person who will need help and I may screw up and I may not know how much is enough.”

But what does he do in such cases? “Pray for help,” he replies.

He’s not being cute. “It’s not all up to us,” Keizer says. “One thing teaching and being a minister taught me is that if I was asking myself how much was enough, I was too much in isolation. Helpers need helpers.”

Then he adds, “I think it’s supposed to work that way.” 쩾

the accidental altruist

Even in those cases where my presence made no difference whatsoever to the patient’s outcome, it was still rewarding — and yes, thrilling — to be part of the rescue. some simple rules that are as easy to remember in a moment of chaos as your ABCs: Airway, Breathing and Circulation. Does your patient have an obstructed airway? If so, clear the obstruction. Is your patient breathing? If not, get him breathing or breathe for him. Does your patient have a pulse? If not, start CPR and get him to the hospital pronto. If I remembered nothing else, those three rules could mean the difference between someone living and dying.

Three months later, I got a job working as a park ranger-EMT in Pace Bend Park. It’s a 1500-acre sliver of Texas real estate on the lower Colorado River populated mostly by mesquite trees, prickly pear cactus, whitetail deer and tipsy Texans. Typically, my days were spent patrolling “The Flats,” a sandy beach peppered with RVs, tents, trash barrels and jet-ski trailers. My job was to keep the teenagers from racing up and down the shoreline and rolling their jacked-up four-by-fours, killing themselves and each other in the process.

To claim that I was out there saving lives would be a stretch.

Once, I gave a drunk and slightly delirious diabetic a tube of glucose paste, for which he was infinitely grateful. Another time, I helped rescue a guy on some cliffs who’d let go of a rope swing too early. He fell 30 feet face-first and stuck the landing — right on a pile of boulders. Then there was the 5-year-old girl who’d been bitten by fire ants and was having trouble breathing, an early sign of anaphylactic shock. We whisked her out of the park via helicopter, but I never heard what happened to her.

More commonly, my patients had minor bumps and bruises — ankles twisted while waterskiing, bones broken while jumping off cliffs, fingers burned by barbecues and campfires, the aftermaths of alcohol-induced rollover collisions and ditched motorcycles.

On rare occasions, the patients were beyond my help: drown victims, auto fatalities, even a suicide. Once, I helped some Austin firefighters perform CPR on a man for 35 minutes. It may seem heroic, but the truth is that by the time I got there, our patient’s train had already left the station and wasn’t coming back.

And as harsh as it sounds, much of my work as an EMT was spent mopping up the inevitable consequences of Darwin’s theory of natural selection. But even that was rewarding. Why? Because sometimes the scariest part about being in a medical emergency — either someone else’s or your own — isn’t the blood, the gore, the screaming, or even the pain. It’s the dizzying uncertainty of not knowing what just happened to you and whether or not you’re going to be OK. One minute you’re loading a Led Zeppelin disc into your car’s CD player. The next you’re dangling upside down by a seatbelt and reeking of gasoline. In those first terrifying moments, when a minute feels like an hour, the most reassuring thing you can hear is, “Just sit tight. I’m an EMT and I’m here to help you.”

Even in those cases where my presence made no difference whatsoever to the patient’s outcome, it was still rewarding — and yes, thrilling — to be part of the rescue. Years later, I was moving into a new apartment in another state when I heard the sudden screech of tires, followed by a crunch of metal on metal. I ran down the street to find a young man lying underneath his bicycle and pinned beneath the bumper of a car.

It had been several years since I’d worked as an EMT and my certification had long since expired. As my heart rate kicked into overdrive and my mind raced through the various steps for assessing his injuries, I noticed something curious about my patient: He relaxed, visibly. Slowly, some bystanders and I untangled his limbs from his bicycle, only to find that he wasn’t trapped at all.

In fact, there wasn’t a scratch on him.

In that moment, it didn’t really matter whether I was doing everything I should have according to medical protocol. My patient believed he was in good hands, and that was good enough for him. 쩾

I wasn’t learning the invasive procedures that paramedics perform, like starting IVs, pushing meds and intubating an unconscious patient — that nifty little trick you see on “ER” in which a rescuer plays beat the clock while snaking a breathing tube down a patient’s throat.

Nevertheless, my EMT training was really rewarding. Why? Because it’s empowering to know what to do when everyone around you is freaking out. Whether I was treating a bee sting or blunt head trauma, I learned to evaluate each patient according to

Welcome to the SEVEN DAYS family

Lily James Roberts September 8, 2004 • 3:22pm • 7lbs. 9oz.

Congratulations Katrina & Colby!

A Lot of Latitude naky ribbons of sound wind through the steady pulse of a hand drum, conjuring visions of bustling open-air markets and dusty, weathered faces. Harmony structures alien to the Western ear build, then fade away like a desert mirage. Listening to 35th Parallel, it’s hard to imagine you’re still in this hemisphere, much less the Yankee Northeast. Yet it’s all happening right in front of me, at a rehearsal in Putnamville, Vermont. Mac Ritchey and Gabe Halberg call it a MediterrAsian journey — an exotic soundscape through which the central Vermont duo is a reliable guide.

String instrumentalist Ritchey, 33, and percussion whiz Halberg, 31, have been traveling the winding paths of Middle Eastern, Indian and North African music for more than three years. On 2003’s critically acclaimed album The Green Vine, Halberg and Ritchey blended the styles of the East with the production values of the West. In live performances, their sound is often augmented by a horn section featuring members of the late, great jazz outfit viperHouse; the group’s sonic alchemy fuses tradition and progression.

An upcoming show at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier — a follow-up to last year’s well-received FlynnSpace performance — promises another evening of seductively hypnotic music. Turkish, Armenian, Indian and Arab traditions will be represented, as the group weaves through musical cultures along the latitudinal line for which they’re named.

Mac Ritchey met his future musical partner Gabe Halberg in 2001, when the percussionist made an appearance as part of a live concert at Ritchey’s world-instrument shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He was so impressed by the young hotshot playing tabla (a traditional Indian handdrum) that Ritchey says a voice in his head told him to play with the percussionist. He invited Halberg to crash at his house; they stayed up until the wee hours discovering shared musical influences. The two didn’t play a note that night, but a bond of friendship was formed that turned into a musical collaboration.

Ritchey’s dexterity on a number of stringed instruments bears out his reputation as a “musical Swiss Army knife.” His formative years were spent playing guitar in an ’80s metal wasteland. “Oh, I copped the licks from White Lion albums, busted out some Metallica,” he confesses. Later, Ritchey slogged it out in the trenches of Boston’s rock scene, a lifestyle that eventually grew tiresome. “I burned out… I didn’t feel like I had a team,” he reminisces.

Things changed around 1989 when he first heard Passion, Peter Gabriel’s Middle Eastern-infused soundtrack to the film The Last Temptation of Christ. Coincidentally, that album also inspired Halberg’s first forays into ethnic percussion. The spring equinox of 2001 marked the beginning of their collaboration; they spent the rest of the year developing a working musical dialogue, and played their first show together that December.

A bright-eyed man of medium stature with stunningly orange hair, Ritchey hardly looks the part of an exotic minstrel.

With his thoughtful, articulate speech and sensitive demeanor, he seems more like a

guidance counselor. As 35th Parallel’s melodic center, Ritchey is comfortable with many Middle Eastern musical traditions. The oud, an instrument extremely important to Arab music, is one of his favorites. Transitioning from guitar wasn’t as easy as he expected, though. “When I first played in front of my teacher,” Ritchey admits, “he said, ‘OK, stop, I get it — you’re a guitarist playing an oud.’”

With instructor Alan Shavarsh Bardezbanian’s guidance and a lot of practice, a proper sensibility eventually emerged. “It’s a whole mindset thing,” Ritchey declares. “When you study an instrument, it forms your world-view about music through the eyes of that instrument… I have been working for the last year of my life to make it sound like I’m actually playing an oud.”

Ritchey ornaments 35th Parallel’s performances and recordings with turns on the bouzouki — a Greek instrument also used in Turkey and the Arab world — acoustic guitar and even didjeridoo, the droning Australian aboriginal wind instrument. Ritchey studied electronic music at Oberlin College from ’89 to ’91, where he began to recognize all sound as potentially musical. Experiences like this, combined with a degree in cultural anthropology from Brandeis University, provided the background for experiments in musical synthesis.

In rehearsal, Gabe Halberg sits upright on a stool like some kind of mystical praying mantis, his dark eyes closed in concentration. His long, lithe fingers tap out rhythmic riddles on curious-looking hand drums. With a coal-black mustache and goatee and a long nose, he could be Frank Zappa’s younger brother.

During a break, the soft-spoken, contemplative Halberg relates his initiation into the world of Northern Indian percussion.

He first heard the signature melodic thwack of the tabla while he was attending Goddard College in 1991. Instantly hooked, he decided to study the instrument at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California, as an off-campus Goddard student. There, he was exposed to the disciplines of Indian music by tabla guru Swapan Chaudhuri. After receiving a degree in tabla composition in 1995, Halberg returned to the Northeast.

By 1997, his focus and dedication had earned him the opportunity to study in New York City with Samir Chatterjee, a mentorship that continues to this day.

Accompanying the master to Calcutta, India, for six weeks in ’99 proved both an inspiration and a distraction, but Halberg remembers the experience fondly.

“Calcutta was intense,” he recalls, “but it was really good to feel more connected to the culture of the music that I’m playing.”

Since then, Halberg has been experimenting with other percussive instruments, such as African frame drums.

During rehearsal, Halberg tunes them with a placid concentration reminiscent of an ancient, meditative ritual.

A great deal of the music that 35th Parallel references is rooted in religious devotion. Strong ties between sound and spirituality exist in every country from

The horn section has been called in, and the whole crew is set up in Halbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living room, spread out in a semi-circle.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The better a musician I become, the more able I am to let go.â&#x20AC;? This may sound newagey to some, but the attitude serves a practical purpose: Halberg and Ritchey strive to voice their music â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the moment.â&#x20AC;?

In an era of racial profiling and cultural suspicion, playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;MediterrAsianâ&#x20AC;? music might seem like a political act. Ritchey says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to make any overt statement. About those who would dismiss the art forms of foreign cultures he suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are used to just saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an art form, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people just living their lives like any of usâ&#x20AC;Ś By playing the music that we do, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, they have music, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and by the way, you seemed to like it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Ritchey bristles at complicated political situations that get in the way of art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an Afghani tune,â&#x20AC;? he says, addressing a mock audience, â&#x20AC;&#x153;remember that country that we bombed? This is the music they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play for 15 years.â&#x20AC;? Does the duo feel a responsibility for bringing this music to American listeners? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ambassador is certainly a preferred word to imperialist,â&#x20AC;? suggests Halberg.

35th Parallelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehearsal showcases the

times it seems the band is over-rehearsing; the repetitious section-work seems to bely the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecstatic origins. But the mood is light, even occasionally frivolous. As with any band practice, musical in-jokes and gentle ribbing color the proceedings.

Someone quotes the Derek and the Dominoes classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laylaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the horn players poke fun at the fact that the 35th Parallel song theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on shares the same name.

Halberg condones a last-minute melodic change, expressing relief that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like that Berlin song.â&#x20AC;? The reference to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s pop band is met with puzzlement by a younger musician. After three-and-a-half hours the band breaks for pizza, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep going later.

Halberg and Ritchey plan to record a follow-up to Green Vine, but they have no idea what the finished product will look like. Will a horn section be involved?

Possibly. Will there be more electronic elements? Potentially. The duo strives to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be here now,â&#x20AC;? and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open to any new ideas that may surface. Says Ritchey: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process will let us know.â&#x20AC;? 슞

F STORY

CASEY REA RJD2, Nectar’s, September 19, 9:30 p.m.

Back to the Future or progressive hip-hop producer RJD2, “in-demand” is a way of life. A one-man ambassador of the beat, his behind-the-scenes credits cover an amazing range of styles and genres.

Work for hip-hop talents such as El-P, Mos Def and Cannibal Ox has led to cross-genre experiments with indierockers and other hairy beasts. A list of celebrity admirers including Radiohead, The Strokes and avant filmmaker David Lynch suggests that RJD2 probably DJs the best parties.

His new disc, Since We Last Spoke, expands the palette of hip-hop while maintaining his underground cred.

The forward-looking “producer and remixer extraordinaire” recently spoke to Seven Days in advance of his gig this Sunday at Nectar’s.

SEVEN DAYS: At what age did you realize that music was the thing for you?

RJD2: Since I was about 10 years old, music has been my preferred hobby…

I still to this day don’t really feel like a musician, I feel kind of like a band masquerading as a dude that manages to make music for a living.

I used to just sit down, cross my fingers and hope that something happened! Now I try to stay a bit more organized.

SD: What music were you first turned on to?

RJD2: Oh, I remember Michael Jackson, Run-DMC, The Fresh Prince… I was buying tapes, but I didn’t have much money. Honestly, what I remember doing was dubbing stuff off the radio. I had this little piece-of-shit boombox, and I remember waiting around for Tears for Fears songs all day so I could tape ’em.

SD: Did you start out playing instruments, or were turntablism and production your introduction to creating music?

RJD2: Oh, no — I played a little bit in bands. I played drums, and guitar a little bit. You know, as a hack. I ended up going to a vocational music program in high school. For half of the day I’d be studying music theory and composition, typical shit. I didn’t learn anything, really… I’m glad for school, but the stuff that’s important is the intuitive shit.

SD: Your production background is pretty legendary. Was it an easy transition for you to become the focus of attention?

RJD2: Um, it wasn’t anything I was consciously avoiding, but I never really sought it, either. I just try to stay business-minded about shit. I say, ‘What is my goal here?’ My goal is to make records and have fun. If that means I have to do photo shoots and stuff, I’m not opposed, but I’m not crazy about it. It’s all just forms of marketing. Some people like that kind of thing, some people don’t.

Some people just want to hear a record and don’t give a fuck about what you look like.

SD: Do you have any formula in your approach to production? Do you start with a beat, a melody

RJD2

line, a sample? What’s the process?

I used to just sit down, cross my fingers and hope that something happened! Now I try to stay a bit more organized. I collect drum breaks, bass lines — I try to put sticky-notes on all my records. Ninety-five percent of the time, I’m looking for something very specific — ‘I need a string section here,’ or something. Some of the new record is “live,” so I’ve been buying keyboards, amps and microphones… I’m trying to get my shit together when it comes to engineering live records. I’m not a Chick Corea-type dude, but with the help of the sampler and all that shit, I can recreate the sounds of those records.

I’m trying to read up, get pictures — I want to get inside the minds of the people who engineered these albums.

SD: The age of the computer has forever altered people’s approach to music production. Do you prefer analog or digital, or a hybrid?

RJD2: They both provide their own things, you know? The more I learn about it, there isn’t a huge difference.

From a layman’s perspective, you see these huge rifts. It’s kinda like religion and science. When you’re 15, you see the two as polar opposites. The older you get, the more you see things they have in common.

SD: Do you leave room for creative re-interpretations in your sets, or do you pretty much perform what’s on the records?

RJD2: The goal is to make it a musical experience that doesn’t sound just like the record — it’s unique to the show. I try to avoid letting a song run the way it is on the album. Almost every song has a new section that I’ve prepared that’s in key and in time.

Think of it as a remix for one verse or a bridge. I can’t really change it too much, ’cause it’s such a preparation thing. But the scratches are different, and parts are switched up.

SD: You seem to be stepping away from “traditional” hip-hop productions. How has the hiphop community responded to your evolution, and do you care?

RJD2: I don’t think about it too much. With the first record [Dead Ringer], the hardcore hip-hop guys were relieved it still had stuff on it that they could push on their friends.

With the new one, I think some of the underground kids are pissed off about it. But if somebody doesn’t like it, somebody doesn’t like it. I feel like if you need to hear some rap music, there’s plenty. And there’s plenty of shit that I did [as producer] last year!

I mean, go buy that Aceyalone record, that Soul Position record, that Diverse album.

SD: Hip-hop is becoming a more universal language. Why do you think this is?

RJD2: At the heart of it, I think that black American culture has, for the last 80 years, fascinated the whole world. It’s fascinated white America.

It’s fascinated Europe. It’s fascinated Japan; if you go to Japan, you’ll see hardcore Blue Note-style jazz clubs, and in Europe, dudes are painting trains. They take graffiti very seriously, and they’re so by-the-book.

Historically, New York hip-hop culture is the shit. For whatever reason, 99 percent of the important things that have happened in American music in the last hundred years have come out of the black community.

SD: Where do you feel hip-hop is heading? What would you like to see more of in the scene?

RJD2: I’d like to see people taking five years to do an album. Recording technology got real cheap real fast.

Making a CD got real cheap real fast.

Everyone’s got a demo. Music is becoming so disposable that people are taking the approach of, ‘I’m gonna do a record in a week. If it sucks, cool, I’ll try again.’ I want something that raises the bar, like Outkast’s Stankonia. I try to do that with my records. On a technical level, I’m out for blood! m

BY CASEY REA

COME TOGETHER

CALIFORNIA DREAMING Guitarist/songwriter Sean Hutton knows a thing or two about ’60s pop. His band, Raquel’s Boys, has cornered the local market on old-fashioned, sunshiney rock ’n’ roll — not that there’s much competition. That wasn’t the case at last month’s International Pop Overthrow in Los Angeles, however — more than a hundred acts from across the globe played the annual event. Raquel’s Boys were invited to participate on the strength of their Jam Records debut, Music for the Girl You Love. Their song “Knockout Girl” is featured on the IPO festival’s compilation CD, which won the band some new fans out West. According to Hutton, the group took to the warm climes: “Performing in the California sun is really the ideal setting for our sound,” he says. After a well-received performance on the outdoor stage in Stanton Park, the guys got to rub elbows with music critics from legendary rock rags Goldmine and Amplifier. A couple of them have become big fans.

“These guys like us because we love music,” Hutton explains. “They couldn’t care less that we’re on a small indie label and don’t have a lawyer.” With shows lined up in Boston and Chicago, Raquel’s Boys’ pop-rock stock is on the rise.

Ever channel surf and stumble across a concert that you’d just attended? Chances are it was filmed by the Vermont Musician’s Network and its nonprofit promotional arm VtLive. From humble beginnings on Cable Access Channel 15 to its recent home at WVNY, the organization has been providing free exposure to Vermont musical talent for a decade. Over the years it has filmed more than 100 bands, and now it needs your help.

In order to re-launch the broadcast (which has been off-air since July), the crew at VtLive are hosting a benefit concert in Williamstown this Saturday. Featuring popular local acts such as Abby Jenne, Gregory Douglass and Aaron Flinn’s Salad Days, as well as national faves Jim’s Big Ego, the concert aims for comfort: Seating is under a heated tent, and long-time sponsor Long Trail Brewing Company provides the suds.

“Musicians need to grab hold of us,” says Executive Director Bonnie LaFlower. “Our goal is to promote and develop music — to create bridges between the famous and not-so famous, between the musicians and the venues.” In the future, VtLive plans to throw joint events with other nonprofits, particularly those with a social conscience. Armed with mini-DV cameras and a passion for live music, this crew is soldiering on. Says LaFlower: “If it all fell apart tomorrow, we’d still be going out and filming bands.” Check www.vtlive.tv for more info.

TAKE A HIKE Reproductive choice is a serious issue, especially in this politically polarized climate. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun while protecting a woman’s right to choose. This Saturday’s third annual Hike for Choice at Mount Philo in Charlotte provides musical entertainment and good eats in addition to a bit of exercise. Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom — a volunteer organization providing cash to women seeking abortions who can’t afford the option — sponsors the field day.

In just a year and a half, the group has raised $12,000, all of which goes directly to the women in need. The Steph Pappas Experience and Color Complex rock the summit around noon, and donated chow comes courtesy of local eateries including Mirabelles and American Flatbread. Registration for the hike takes place at 11 a.m. and costs $5. Participants are encouraged to find sponsors for the event; according to VARF founding board member Rachel Siegel, there will be a raffle for those who raise $100 or more. Prizes include massage and yoga coupons, which might come in handy after that hike.

BOBBING FOR DYLANS Bob Dylan is more than just a prolific songwriter — he’s an icon. Last Saturday, Riverwalk Records in Montpelier hosted a Bob Dylan look-alike/sound-alike contest, which proved that imitation is not just the greatest form of flattery — it’s downright hilarious. More than 100 attendees crowded into a vacant storefront next to Riverwalk, as such a large audience couldn’t fit into Patrick Mulliken’s smallish shop. Serving on the panel of judges were the mayor of Montpelier, an assistant to a former Dylan manager, a couple of DJs, and two wily music journalists, myself included.

The affair was positively surreal, as nearly 20 Dylan wannabes in various guises ransacked the songwriter’s back pages. Peg Tassey isn’t too Bob-like, even with a massive faux ’fro — but her chilling take on “Masters of War” was so effective it didn’t matter. Her performance was preceded by a short skit skewering Dylan’s recent Victoria’s Secret ads: Magic City vocalist Miriam Bernardo appeared in lingerie and angel wings while a member of the “press” harassed “Dylan” about his undie endorsements. Tassey took runner-up, but she was bested by the animated performance from a hobo-outfitted Derek Semler. As the night’s top Bob, Semler walked away with a huge grin and his prizes — a reissue of Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde on vinyl, and a new turntable to play it on.

reviewthis CHRIS WHITLEY, WAR CRIME BLUES

BLACKTHORNE WILDERNESS, ORPHEUS SWOONS

(Messenger Records, CD)

(Self-released, CD) During his years performing as a street musician, Texas-based songwriter Chris Whitley honed a gritty, direct writing style. His rough mix of porch blues and melodic phrasing provides an equal balance of ache and optimism. Whitley’s not just another white boy picking at the dusty remains of the blues, either. He coaxes genuine passion from his guitar, with guttural slide passages colliding vigorously with hard strums and subtle Delta flourishes.

His scuffed-up vocals convey the hollow desperation of years lived hard, and the songwriter’s physicality confirms this — he looks part scarecrow, part carnival hustler.

War Crime Blues is a fine example of Whitley’s abilities as singer-songwriter and guitar hero. The title track evokes unwinnable conflicts, both internal and global. A kick drum pounds in steady fours, its percussive thud anchoring the song to its old-time blues roots. “War will never end,” Whitley laments with tired resignation. On the same tune, he describes civilization as a mausoleum, and calls for his girl to “turn her desires back” if he doesn’t return from the front. Whether the battle he references is literal or metaphorical is anybody’s guess.

A fiery send-up of the Velvet Underground classic “I Can’t Stand It” proves both compelling and slightly annoying. Most of the original’s tongue-and-cheek delivery is missing, and Whitley’s decision to change the object of affection from “Sally” to “Susie” is puzzling. Still, the spirit of the Velvets is present: The song is another slide-blues rave-up, but Whitley’s slightly out-of-tune guitar captures that band’s druggy, punky vibe. Credit goes to Whitley for making the attempt and not completely missing the point.

As a guitarist, Whitley is hard to beat; he’s truly a torchbearer for the Delta-blues style. The track “Dead Cowboy Song” showcases a ragged virtuosity with its fingerpicked venom and masculine strut. He strains vocally, but such frayed edges make this CD a compelling listen. It’s clear that Whitley has no desire to play nice, and his style is hardly a museum piece. Supposed “purists” like Eric Clapton might do well to study pickers like Whitley. With its troubled-soul, renegade charms, War Crime Blues would make Robert Johnson proud. It’s here — not in the neutered “tributes” of other players — that the true fire of the blues burns.

Whitley plays an early show this Saturday at Club Metronome with fellow songwriter Annie Minogue.

CASEY REA

Part of the rich local music scene that has developed, and is still growing, around Burlington’s Radio Bean Coffeehouse, Blackthorne Wilderness deliver a style that members Angelica Blackthorne and April Wilderness call “front-porch Renaissance.” On their first CD, Orpheus Swoons, the duo deals out 12 original compositions, most of them featuring one or both women singing low-key harmonies while strumming along on guitar or mandolin.

The songs that begin and end the recording — “Cold Water Creek,” “Coyote Ramble” and “Run Around Round” — are some of the disc’s highlights. All three songs were written by Blackthorne, but they sound authentically vintage. It’s almost as if Alan Lomax had collected them in some Appalachian hollow back in the 1940s.

Orpheus Swoons also includes a cover of the ancient ballad “Matty Groves” — a tune popularized by Fairport Convention back in 1969.

Here, the arrangement is stripped down to a bare percussive background. On this cut you can best appreciate the beauty of both women’s voices and how well they blend together.

Unfortunately, the recording quality makes it difficult to hear how good Blackthorne Wilderness really is. The sound on Orpheus Swoons is often muddled; at the worst, it’s as if the singers sang too far back from the microphone and the guitars were played in a closet. It’s a pity —Blackthorne Wilderness’ music is fine enough to wish for better. Keep an eye on the schedule at Radio Bean to see and hear the real thing — my bet is, the pair sounds much better onstage.

COMIC ROCKER :: Like a mutant cross between Mick Jagger and R. Crumb,

Kochalka Superstar

James

owns any stage he

sets foot on. A full-time cartoonist and daddy, Kochalka’s high-octane, absurdist music is hardly garden-variety. With songs about bad astronauts and respecting Michael Jackson, Kochalka and his band always make an impression. Witness the silliness Wednesday, September 15, at Club Metronome.

Still Hopping

I EXHIBIT The 12th Annual South End Art Hop, various locations, Burlington. September 10 & 11; some exhibitions through September.

ARTWORK “Building Blocks and Sugar Rocks” by Hillary Milens

PHOTO Marc Awodey

t’s safe to say last weekend’s South End Art Hop — the 12th annual — was the biggest and best ever. What began as a modest tour of studios and group exhibitions along Burlington’s Pine Street in 1992 has grown into a regional fine-arts event of epic proportions. At least 1000 artworks were on display, created by about 400 artists from Vermont and beyond. The Hop presented art in every medium in open studios, unoccupied donated spaces, businesses and more conventional venues between Main Street and Flynn Avenue. Officially the Hop was Friday and Saturday, September 10 and 11.

But it ain’t over till it’s over.

Some 200 pieces submitted for the juried-show component will remain on view through September. And about 30 of those works, installed on the third floor of the Maltex Building, are the “juried in” selections — this year’s first-place winner was Joshua Givens for his painting “The Present.” The remaining submitted works comprise a Salon des Refusés throughout the rest of the building.

Some of the exhibitions in vacant spaces, such as the former Small Boat Exchange on Kilburn Street and the former Gaslight Laundry on Marble Avenue, can also be viewed all month on a limited basis.

“Building Blocks and Sugar Rocks”

by Hillary Milens is an installation piece at the old Small Boat Exchange.

It consists of approximately 140 wooden blocks and sugar crystals lined up in a grid on a suspended sheet of clear Plexiglas. Milens’ piece is a wonderful use of organic materials organized in a new way.

Though many of the works at the

Gaslight are primarily decorative, a few stand out for artistic merit: Mary Beth Morriseau’s “Lapis Sky” is a vertical abstraction of copper painted a monochromatic blue and mounted on wood. Ceili Seipke’s “Nagymama” is a portrait of an elderly lady in a richly patterned interior.

A photograph by Matthew Thorsen, also at the Gaslight, is arguably the most powerful piece in the entire Art Hop. In “My Father Just One Minute After Being Dead,” Thorsen boldly committed sacrilege by photographing his corpulent sire at the moment of death in a hospital bed.

The piece is not just shock art; rather, it’s highly poignant. The man is laying on his back, nearly nude like a newborn infant. As it happily turned out, he was revived within moments and lives still. But Thorsen’s ostensibly final portrait of his father was composed with sensitivity as well as an unflinching eye.

The Maltex Building remains the flagship site of the Art Hop’s juried show. This year’s lone juror was Ian Berry, curator of the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College. It must be said that Berry made some dubious decisions, such as accepting David Powell’s highly derivative, text-based piece “Returning Home.” On Powell’s canvas the phrase “RETURNING HOME I SAW THE FUTURE” is stenciled across a rainbow spectrum of blended hues.

Perhaps neither artist nor juror is familiar with the “date paintings” of On Kawara, or any of about a dozen other text-based conceptual artists of 40 years ago? Or maybe they are, but are untroubled by the repetition.

“The Gate” by James Juron was a better choice. While humanity has been producing figurative paintings for about 20,000 years, Juron’s piece seems personal and timeless. It’s a haunting image of a cowled, standing figure looking like an executioner in front of a guillotine. Juron’s oil technique is daringly traditional for contemporary art.

As with the original Salon des Refusés in Paris in 1863, many of the passed-over works are among the exhibition’s best. Among them is Jennifer Prince’s “Silos” — a computer-assisted photomontage that creatively combines 1950s pop images of female bathers with mid-America prairie architecture.

Many of the larger-scale paintings are displayed on the lower level of the Maltex. “Sanibel” by Phebe Mott is a wonderfully composed porch scene with rich blues. Mott renders her figures simply, in a manner reminiscent of Milton Avery. “Bronze Mare and the Lost Reign” by Charlie Orme is a 7-foot vertical piece composed of slashing gray and black brushstrokes on a textural white field.

Considering the scale of the present Art Hop, it’s hard to imagine what it might be like 12 years from now.

Maybe it’s time to think about an allBurlington event, or a Sundance-type festival that brings together small-town artworks from across the country? But even if it stays as is, the South End Art Hop is a leap of faith in creativity and is surely destined for greatness. m

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

Cellular HHH

W SPEED DIAL Evans puts his life on hold and races against the clock to save a stranger in this hit-or-miss thriller

hen veteran screenwriter Larry Cohen comes upon an idea that sells, he sticks with it. He came up with the premise for Phone Booth, the 2003 thriller in which a psycho traps Colin Farrell in a Manhattan pay phone. Now he’s collaborated with director David R. Ellis on Cellular, a thriller in which psychos trap Kim Basinger in an attic and her survival hinges on a stranger she’s able to contact. Anyone care to bet Cohen’s not banging out a thriller about email or pagers this very moment?

I can see the poster now: “Vin Diesel reaches out and saves someone in Beeper.”

The idea in this one is, Basinger’s a high school science teacher whose Brentwood mansion is invaded one morning by violent thugs who shoot her maid and take her hostage. Once they’ve stashed her in an old attic, it becomes clear the gang wants something from her husband and intends to use her to get it. There’s a wall phone in the attic, and the bad guys wait until after Basinger’s arrival to smash it with a baseball bat. If they had simply removed it in advance, it turns out, nothing that follows in the film could have occurred.

Being a science teacher, Basinger is able to piece enough of the device back together and click just the right wires in order to make a random connection to another phone. It happens to be the cell phone of a generic twentysomething dude played by Not Another Teen Movie’s Chris Evans. At first he doesn’t believe his caller has really been abducted and is about to be killed. He even puts her on hold. Eventually, however, Basinger persuades him to drive to the nearest police station and hand the phone to a cop.

William H. Macy tosses off the movie’s most interesting performance in the role of a 27-year veteran who plans to retire and open a day spa with his wife. He happens to be manning the front desk when Evans walks in. Macy listens to the kidnapped woman for a minute, but then, wouldn’t you know it, a melée breaks out in the next room and he rushes off, referring the young man to the homicide department on the fourth floor.

Cellular’s plot runs on a seemingly inexhaustible supply of such tension-building delay tactics. In this case, Evans runs up a stairwell and finds that, the higher he climbs, the weaker his signal becomes. He can’t afford to lose that lifeline and so is forced to turn around even as the division’s office comes into view.

Next it’s back into his Jeep and off to pick up Basinger’s little boy at school before the bad guys can. Wouldn’t you know it: He gets a low battery reading and is forced to make a pit stop at a mobile-phone store to pick up a charger. And would-

n’t you know it: The clerks are condescending and the lines are out the door. By this point, though, Evans is driving a stolen car and has found a handgun in the glove compartment. Nothing like firearms to get you a little courteous service.

And on and on it goes, twisting toward the point where our unlikely hero will save the day, but then turning at the last second into the next tragedy on the script’s long checklist. One on hand, the film is superficially effective as a windup, what’s-gonna-happen-next contraption; it engages in places despite a dependence on Hollywood chase clichés. You just knew that, sooner or later, the kid was going to have to speed through one-way traffic going the wrong way.

On the other, the movie crosses the line between mindless entertainment and an insult to viewers’ intelligence. Almost every plot development is completely preposterous. It turns out, for example, that Basinger’s husband knew the bad guys were coming for her. So, what does he do? He calls home from the office and leaves her a message! No flurry of calls. No husbandly rescue attempt. No heads-up to the police. Come on.

Equally ludicrous is the fact that Evans never thinks to look to the police for assistance after his aborted visit to the station. He just keeps stealing cars and streaking down the street now and then, leaving his vehicle long enough to take on a bunch of steroid cases the size of Green Bay’s offensive line. As unintentionally funny as those scenes are, my favorites have to be the ones in which he speaks to Basinger while driving with both hands on the wheel. Back-to-back shots have him holding the phone to his ear one second and then talking into thin air the next.

Of course, this is the sort of hit-and-miss piffle studios always unload in late summer. No big surprise there. What stunned me, though, was the review of the film written by Roger Ebert in which he declared the picture “one of the year’s best thrillers.” The critic made such questionable statements as “The movie is skillfully plotted” and “The movie’s surprises mostly seem to make sense,” and he gave it three and a half stars out of four.

Having been attracted to film criticism by the Pulitzer winner’s example, I’ve watched with increasing concern as his judgment has grown iffier in recent years. I have no idea whether his health problems have played a role, but this sort of thing has become alarmingly common. One hopes his next review will prove more in touch with reality, because his take on Cellular was one bad call. m

They came and went faster than you can say "straight to video." Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

BEYOND THE SEA

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Primed for Toronto checking device,” whatever the heck that is, in secret they begin developing a more mysterious project after work and on weekends. Abe and Aaron soon become obsessed with their inexplicable thingamabob.

The experiment takes on a life of its own, however. The have created a time machine only able to turn the clock backwards, which allows them to make a killing in the stock market.

In order to transit away from the present, the duo must lie in tricked-up rectangular boxes they’ve stashed in a cold-storage unit.

The creepy part is that every “trip” produces a double: a second Aaron

A sort of Blair Witch Project for brainiacs, Primer uses ideas rather than action to instill a profound sense of dread. zip by too fast and fuzzily for untrained ears to discern. Instead, the oomph in this clever conceit comes from the intensity of its lead characters.

Aaron (writer-director Shane Carruth) and Abe (David Sullivan) are 30-year-old engineers inventing complicated gizmos in a suburban garage.

Although initially collaborating with two other young wizards on an “error-

and a second Abe. Before long, the originals start subverting things done by their updated selves. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Primer is that the audience’s confusion and tension are eventually no worse than that of the paranoid protagonists. Trapped between then and now, they even begin distrusting each other, dangerous for any conspiratorial

pair but an exquisite turn of events for a thriller.

In contrast with the narrow focus of those Gen-X characters, the real-life folks in A Letter to True tackle bigger issues. More a quasi-autobiographical meditation than a conventional documentary, it continues Bruce Weber’s scrapbook approach to filmmaking. The director explored this technique a bit less effectively in the short Gentle Giants (1995) and the feature-length Chop Suey (2001).

Weber covers numerous subjects in his breathless survey of people, places and topics that intrigue him: a combat photographer who captured disturbing images during the Vietnam War, the human rights of Haitian immigrants in Florida, and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr… The current venture’s framework is his hand-written missive to a favorite Golden Retriever named True, one of five Weber pooches who romp on a Long Island beach and pose with signs reading “Dogs for Peace” around their necks. There’s also a single Cat for Peace in the household, by the way.

Weber’s interest in gay iconography and celebrities, particularly those from Hollywood’s earlier eras, is reflected in his focus on a hunky young man made up to resemble Elizabeth Taylor.

Liz herself appears in scenes from The Courage of Lassie, a 1946 weeper that paired her with a Collie playing a veteran of the Army’s K-9 corps.

The late Dirk Bogarde shows up in film clips, interviews and home movies depicting his life with a longtime male companion. It’s a tender homage that contrasts sharply with the raucous rural family and their many pets, from roosters to donkeys, seen goofing around in the mud.

Yet even these silly sequences connect with the specter of 9/11 that looms over A Letter to True. The bucolic animal lovers lost an uncle in the World Trade Center. In voiceover narration, Weber remembers a friend who perished in one of the hijacked planes and expresses his passion for New York City by celebrating its diversity of dogs.

“Spirit of Cinema: A Celebration of Classic Films From Visionary Filmmakers” is the title of an upcoming series at Burlington’s Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. Screenings take place at 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month this autumn, beginning with Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up (1966) on September 16. Hal Ashby’s Being There (1979) plays on October 21.

Rosemary’s Baby (1968), by Roman Polanski, is slated for November 18.

And Alexander Mackendrick’s Sweet Smell of Success (1957) finishes the season on December 16. Admission is $5 at the door. For more details, call 865-7166 or visit www.burlingtoncityarts.com. m

READ THIS FIRST:

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

This week’s puzzle is dedicated to Theodore “Tricky Teddy” Drachman, shameless double-dactylophile and Puzzle magazine’s Merry & Meritorious Mensch of the Month.

Those who ASPIRE to fine carpet design praise the rugs of Persia.

The chain gang was warned by the WARDEN not to wander.

When seated at her desk, Sally was teased for being too SEDATE. NORMA lived in a manor house during the Roman Empire.

Few have the spine to capture a SNIPE in a grove of pines.

The gas rates make one STARE into space or burst into tears.

Soul mates have been known to STEAM their own meats.

In ONTARIO we was a-rootin’ for Travis at his fancy oration.

Most times when you SMITE a skunk, it emits a pungent odor.

Many a saint has left a stain on the ancient city of TANIS. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A SOFT-SHELL CLAM. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 61A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

ANOTHER ‘WORLD’ The Tunbridge World’s Fair is horse-powered this year. Oh, there’ll be plenty of tractors and the requisite demo derby. But an overall equine theme promises a wide variety of draft-horse demos, harness track races and ponypulling competitions. Midway rides spin to the sound of a hurdy-gurdy, but the overall focus on agricultural contests gives Tunbridge’s to-do a rare authenticity. The girlie shows are gone, though, along with the rustic wit of Fred Tuttle.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@CAROLINE CASEY TALK HOLLEY HALL, BRISTOL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 8 P.M.

You know you’re in a blue state when 100 people choose to commemorate the grim anniversary of 9/11 by paying $12 to $20 to attend a talk by Caroline Casey. Billing herself a “visionary activist astrologer,” this shamelessly partisan spiritual leader is a new-age Molly Ivins. She’s shared her mythological-astrological news analysis on ABC’s “Nightline,” CNN’s “Crossfire” and in People magazine, and she recently covered both the Democratic and Republic conventions for her Washington, D.C.-based radio show, “The Visionary Activist.” Waltham, Vermont, musician Deborah Felmeth organized Casey’s Bristol gig.

Non-believers might be tempted to dismiss her as a flake — with purple hair and purple robe, she looks a little kooky — but Casey, who has a degree in semiotics from Brown University, is smart and funny. Her goal for the evening was to turn her audience into “fully animated tricksters,” mischievous spirits of Native American lore associated with coyotes.

Shortly after she took the stage, Casey invoked “the compassionate trickster” by cupping her hands and gently blowing a small pile of “muti” towards the crowd. The pile, she said, contained Syrian tobacco, Native American tobacco, coyote hair and confetti from John Kerry’s podium during the Democratic National Convention. “There was real magic there,” she claimed.

Casey’s pro-Democrat diatribe covered everything from the “resonant force field” that surrounds us to anti-imperialism quotes from Thomas Jefferson to the popularity of African-American Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama. “A Leo,” she noted, “like Bill Clinton but without the bullshit.”

The rise of Obama makes perfect sense, Casey argued. After all, during the convention, “his Mars was at 22 degrees of Virgo.” She had just finished listing several other appearances of the number 22. The audience oohed.

The mood shifted from comically partisan to somber when Casey invited Felmeth to the stage to play her hand drum and lead the crowd in a trance-like song. For several minutes, Felmeth drummed while women in flowing dresses and men in Birkenstocks and collarless shirts intoned “Kyrie Eliason.” On another day it might have been hokey, but that night it was eerily moving.

JUST SAY ‘NOSE’ For more than two decades, storyteller and performance artist Peter Burns has been putting people in touch with their silly side. His “car therapy” and “words trapped in saliva” routines satisfy your inner 12-year-old — and, of course, your own kids. At an upcoming show, the Winooski resident acts up, then asks the audience to get goofy on tape for possible broadcast on his local cable TV show.

There’s reason to believe he’ll stick a pencil up his nose and fulfill the promise of the show’s title: “Mr. Burns Shows You How.” ‘MR. BURNS SHOWS YOU HOW’ Saturday, September 18, The Kept Writer Bookstore, St. Albans, 2 p.m. Free. Info, 527-6242.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am a 16-year-old guy whose mother is big on letting it all hang out, being honest and not having any sexual hang-ups. I’m cool with all this, and I definitely prefer her approach to my friends’ parents’ super-conservative approach. But lately Mom’s been going too far. The other day, when she tried to give me advice about how to pleasure a woman with my mouth, I thought I was going to gag. Don’t get me wrong — I appreciate the information. But hearing it from her feels just plain icky.

Am I just being uptight?

Weirded Out in Waitsfield Dear Weirded, Mom’s desire to give a healthy attitude towards sex is commendable, but there is such a thing as too much tongue wagging. Your discomfort is understandable and normal, and she needs to be sensitive to your limits.

Give her back a dose of her own honesty. Since you’re already so open with each other, it should be easy for you to let her know when she’s biting off more than you can chew.

Love, Lola

free will astrology RE AL Your current relationship with romance might best be summed up with these words from the Washington Post’s Joel Achenbach: “Love begins as a sonnet, but eventually turns into a grocery list. Therefore you need someone with whom you can go to the supermarket.” In other words, Aries, realism should rule your decisions in amorous matters for the next few weeks. That will eventually change, though. So don’t permanently forget about the sonnet-like aspects of your passion.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Even if you’re not a jazz fan, you’ll thrive in the coming week by using a modus operandi that resembles jazz. I suggest, therefore, that you improvise frequently. Experiment with intricate, strong and playful rhythms. Infuse your yearning for freedom with humor. For further insight about how to proceed, meditate on the following clues from three jazz greats. Ornette Coleman: “Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.” John Coltrane: “You can play a shoestring if you’re sincere.” Miles Davis: “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of my best teachers always referred to himself as an unteacher.

“My goal is to strip away your certainties,” he said, “so you can be alert to how mysterious life actually is.” He didn’t want to fill me up with a load of fixed ideas, in other words, but rather encourage me to cultivate the habit of questioning everything. I wish I could perform the same service for

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19):

| SEVEN DAYS |

you, Gemini, especially now that you’re becoming more receptive to the naked truth. I’d like to help you understand that in order to fall deeply in love with the world’s messy beauty, you need to be able to gaze upon it as if it were just created a moment ago.

(P.S. As psychotherapist Robert Augustus Masters says, the truth cannot be rehearsed.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Young rock bands often do cover tunes, copies of songs originally performed by well-known musicians they admire. Art teachers sometimes give their students the assignment of reproducing the great paintings of the old masters. To take maximum advantage of the current astrological influences, I suggest you use this strategy in your own unique way, Cancerian. Pick a hero, either dead or alive, either famous or unsung, whose approach to life you admire.

Find out as much as you can about that person, and then engage in a flurry of imitation. Dress, talk, think and dream like your hero. In every situation you’re in, ask yourself what he or she would do. Have imaginary conversations, fantasize abundantly and move through your days and nights as if you are that person.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming week you will be prone to eruptions of intuition about exciting future events that you have not previously imagined. Lucid visions of challenging adventures may pop into your mind’s eye out of nowhere. When you come into the presence of people who may one day figure prominently in your creative departures from routine, you might feel chills run up and down your spine. Be alert for these

signals from the Great Beyond. It’s time for you to become your own fortune-teller.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s sowing time, Virgo. Seeds you plant in the coming days will grow into the crop you will ultimately harvest in July 2005. If you think big, those seeds will also figure prominently in blooms that won’t fully ripen until the latter part of 2015 and the first nine months of 2016. I suppose it’s possible you’ll get freaked out by the pressure and pretend you don’t have the awesome power I’m telling you that you have. In that case, you’ll distract yourself with a thousand and one trivial concerns and let blind fate do the seed planting for you. But I don’t recommend that approach. I’d love for you to get excited as you contemplate what you want to be doing 12 years from now.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I lost the plot for a while,” says a character in Nick Hornby’s novel, High Fidelity. “And I lost the subplot, the script, the soundtrack, the intermission, the popcorn, the credits and the exit sign.” I’m betting you could have said something like that recently, Libra.

The story of your life seemed to have been whisked out from under you and banished to the wilderness on the outskirts of limbo, where the wasteland meets no man’s land. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, while you may never recover the plot you started with, you’ll soon find a brandnew one that’s better than the original.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The conversation didn’t get interesting until the end, after we ran out of

things to say.” Blogger Michael Barrish (www.oblivio.com) wrote that about a date he went on. I’d like to recommend it as your guiding principle in the coming week. Your assignment is to choose a person with whom you will talk and talk and talk until you are all talked out. At that point, though, you won’t run along to your next appointments, but will dwell in the awkwardness as long as it takes for you to stumble upon a new way of being together. Furthermore, Scorpio, I urge you to apply this approach in as many other ways as you can imagine. Hang out in the pregnant silences on the other side of the climaxes.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Physicists have been on a roll for the last hundred years.

Beginning with Einstein’s theory of relativity in 1905, they’ve uncovered secrets of the cosmos that would have seemed like magic to 19th-century scientists. Yet they still haven’t found their Holy Grail — the “Theory of Everything” that would tie together all their discoveries and, in the words of Stephen Hawkings, allow them to “read the mind of God.” According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you Sagittarians have been on a similar ride in the past 12 months. You’ve gathered tantalizing clues to the greatest mysteries of your life, but have not tracked down your personal Theory of Everything. That could change in the coming weeks, though. You’re closer to the Grail than you’ve ever been.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Your immediate future reminds me of the Buddhist monks I saw beaming child-like smiles and

waving their arms exuberantly as they rode the rollercoaster at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Why? Because I believe that whatever discipline and devotion you have brought to your spiritual work in the past year will soon be rewarded, probably with a thrilling ride that dissolves obstacles or a soaring adventure that breaks down inhibitions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): During a six-year period of his life, music composer Johann Sebastian Bach created an average of one cantata every single week. In the coming days, you could be that prolific in your own chosen field, Aquarius. The creative juices should be flowing through you like a tidal wave; your ability to dream up fresh solutions to nagging puzzles should be at a peak. If for some reason none of what I’m saying seems to be true, it means you need to stop what you’re doing, go sit under a tree, and listen more attentively to your fantasies.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): To achieve your dreams, writes Chuck Klosterman in Esquire, you shouldn’t obsess on cultivating allies.

The two most important characters in the life of any successful human, he says, are a nemesis and an archenemy. While I don’t wholeheartedly endorse this exaggerated position, Pisces, I do recommend it now for your temporary use. Nothing will sharpen your wits so much in the coming weeks as competitors and people who don’t agree with you.

They will be catalysts who’ll provide you with all the motivation you need to leap to the next level of excellence.
