“W” ALERT President Bush says that the world is a better, safer place now that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. He says the United States had to remove him by force because: Saddam Hussein felt he had the right to invade other countries at will; Saddam Hussein worked to develop and acquire superior arms including weapons of mass destruction; Saddam Hussein locked people up without due process and threw away the key; Saddam Hussein had prisoners tortured and murdered;

Saddam Hussein ignored the collective voice of the world community in his actions.

Yes, most in the world agree that it is a good thing Saddam Hussein is no longer in power.

However, for the same reasons as those above, most now feel that the greatest threat to world peace is our president, George W. Bush.

We need to replace him in November.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Ken Picard’s article, “Bad Company?” [September 22] points to the catalyst for turning Pottersville back into Bedford Falls. That communities around the U.S. are establishing ordinances to protect themselves from corporate encroachment is the beginning of a trickle-up effect.

Giant transnationals have shamelessly used our First, Fourth, Fifth and 14th amendments to claim corporate “personhood.”

According to author Thom Hartmann, in 1886, Supreme

Court members couldn’t come to a consensus on the case Santa Clara County vs. the Union Pacific Railroad. Chief Justice Morris Remick Waite wrote in a memo to the clerical recorder that no decision had been reached. Then he died. Incredibly, the clerk, J.C Bancroft Davis (a former railroad president) hid the chief justice’s memo and inserted a head note saying that all the justices had agreed that corporations are persons. This head note was taken as fact; a mass deception perpetuated through the years giving corporations unimaginable powers never granted to them by the Supreme Court or Congress. Today corporations have woven themselves into almost every facet of our lives.

Ironically, the Bill of Rights was designed to protect individual citizens vulnerable to those in power.

Yet unless we the people fight to abolish corporate personhood, our hopes for real campaign finance reform, enforced environmental protections, a truly democratic media and equal social services for all will continue to be eroded and usurped.

Champ,” which you were describing as “self-worship” and a “personal fantasy… using our political stage?”

“Beaucoup bucks to burn” certainly, in my mind, alludes to Leahy’s war chest of campaign funds. “He’s already dropped several hundred thousand dollars” describes Leahy’s campaign to a “T.” With the millions of dollars that Pat Leahy has in his campaign war chest, which he has the right to put in his personal bank account upon retirement, “Imagine how far that cash would have gone at one of the budget-strapped charities around the state,” to quote you directly.

And you, Peter, could have made your personal contribution to charity if you had accepted Jack McMullen’s challenge to run with him. Jack offered to give a $250 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington, but you chose not to run, and therefore not to contribute. If you don’t contribute when you have the opportunity to do so, Peter, how can you criticize others?

The descriptions you noted in your September 15 column so much better fit Patrick Leahy than Jack McMullen, I seriously think you may have unintentionally transposed the names. “Now let’s get back to reality” was your concluding statement — the contraction meaning now let us. I am certainly glad you included yourself!

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Vermont Chainsaw Massacre

T

he Vermont Democratic Party took a punch to the solar plexus this week with the revelation that State Auditor Elizabeth Ready has fudged her resumé since the day she first entered the state senate way back in 1989.

In a Vermont mini-version of the Great Impostor, Chainsaw Liz claimed she had a bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont.

No one doubted her.

That’s because the biennial Statehouse publication containing the photos and bios of legislative members, euphemistically referred to by regulars as “The Stud Book,” is regarded as being as sound as the Bible. The information it contains is provided personally by each member.

A few years later, as she rose in prominence as one of the leading legislative critics of Gov. Howard Dean, Sen. Ready apparently decided a bachelor’s degree wasn’t good enough. As she entered the 1997-98 session as the new chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, Chainsaw Liz awarded herself a master’s degree from Norwich University!

No one doubted her.

After all, why on Earth would a state senator and committee chairman feel a need to lie about her academic credentials?

Only Elizabeth Ready knows the answer to that question, and so far she has chosen to keep it a secret. We do know from similar cases that the fraudulent embellishment of one’s resumé is an all too common occurrence in society.

Chainsaw’s not the first to engage in personal puffery by flaunting fake academic degrees.

Tyrone Willingham would not be the football coach of Notre Dame today if the university’s first choice to coach the Fighting Irish had not suffered from the same ailment as the Irish-American lass running the auditor’s office in the Green Mountains.

In Coach George O’Leary’s case, he claimed a master’s degree from NYU that he did not have. The price he paid for his dishonesty was the loss of the premier college football coaching job in America.

Today, two years later, O’Leary coaches at the University of Central Florida.

But unlike O’Leary — and the state poet of California who resigned two years ago for likewise faking a degree — Vermont’s Ready remains in her highpaying post of state auditor, safe and secure.

The story of Ready’s deception broke in Saturday’s Rutland Herald/Times Argus.

It turns out that Randall Brock, the Republican Party candidate for state auditor, had previously pitched the story of Liz’s lies to several news organizations, including WCAX and the Freeps (Seven Days was not among them), but was brushed off and advised to hold a press conference instead.

What does that say about the state of investigative journalism in Vermont?

Yikes!

Dirt-dishing by reliable sources is the foundation of most good political reporting. Without accurate information from countless unidentified sources, media coverage of government would be no more than the recitation of press releases.

My personal rules for accepting such anonymous material are simple: 1. Tell me the truth and nothing but the truth.

2. You lie to me and I promise you’ll regret it.

3. If the facts verify what you say, I don’t even know you.

Simple, eh? After all, the whole purpose of journalism is to find out and expose what the hell is really going on.

Anonymous sources who want wrongdoers outed play a vital role!

When first confronted about the matter at Saturday’s Vermont Labor Council conclave at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington, Auditor Ready chose her words carefully.

Look, Elizabeth Ready is a political pro. Outspoken, ballsy, you name it, there’s only one Chainsaw Liz and she’s never ducked a fight.

“If opponents want to bring up this kind of thing, God love ’em,” said Chainsaw. “That’s the way it is in politics in Vermont, but I don’t think it’s the Vermont way. And I don’t think it’s going to play here.”

“So you never lied about your academic record when you were in the Vermont Senate?” we asked.

“If there was anything inaccurate or confusing,” she replied, “I have corrected it and I will continue to do so.”

Spoken like a college graduate, eh?

Maybe even a Ph.D.?

Randy Brock, who has suddenly become a live horse in the state auditor’s race, wasn’t buying Chainsaw’s non-explanation, and he wasn’t alone.

“I don’t consider it dirty politics at all,” said Brock at a Monday Statehouse press conference. “I think Vermonters want to know whether their public officials are or are not telling the truth, particularly in official publications.”

Good point.

Brock, by the way, says he has a degree from Middlebury College. A friend who checked said he actually does. And, if I may say so, he also looks like an auditor.

Unlike the incumbent, Mr. Brock actually has a solid background in business, and pinstripe suits become him.

And this week, Randall Brock is fast becoming a household word in Vermont.

Tuesday morning, Mr. Auditor-inWaiting was on the Statehouse lawn shooting a TV commercial, striking while the iron is hot. Gov. Jim Douglas’ campaign director Neale Lunderville appeared to be directing things.

Neale’s the guy behind the devastating Douglas commercial that stars Democrat Peter Clavelle as a babbling idiot.

Talented guy.

Hijacking the Media Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is still in theaters, but in October, Vermonters all across the state will be able to watch something just as provocative on public-access cable TV — Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire. The documentary, produced by Jeremy Earp and Sut Jhally and funded by the Media Education Foundation, explores the Bush administration’s motives for going to war with Iraq and chastises the mainstream media for not pursuing the story more aggressively. The film has garnered praise from critics, many of whom say it’s more sober, cogent and thorough than Moore’s fiery polemic.

Hijacking Catastrophe will air on Vermont stations thanks to the promotional efforts of the Action Coalition for Media Education, or ACME. This 2-year-old national coalition of teachers, creative types, public-health advocates and activists encourages people to think critically about what the media cover and why. Coalition partners include media education heavyweights such as Naomi Klein, Robert McChesney and Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. ACME president Rob Williams lives in Waitsfield, and one of the group’s

three local chapters is based in Vermont — the others are in Albuquerque and northern California.

“We live in the most media-saturated culture that has existed in world history,” says Williams, noting that six companies control 90 percent of media content worldwide. “Americans want their media back. They are tired of seeing the publicly owned airwaves owned, controlled and managed by giant corporate elites.”

The Vermont chapter of ACME has planned several events in October, including a media education workshop in Burlington, October 14-15, a panel discussion October 21 and various screenings of both Hijacking Catastrophe and Unprecedented — a documentary about the 2000 election.

ACME operates outside the corporate sphere. Unlike other media literacy organizations, such as the Alliance for a Media Literate America, ACME does not accept any financial support from media companies such as Time Warner or Discovery. Its work is entirely funded through grassroots and foundation support. ACME is also highly decentralized, proudly defining itself on its website as “a coalition” rather than “an organization.” Its various partners — such as the TV Turnoff Network, the Center for Digital Democracy and Smoke Free Movies — do their own things, mostly using the coalition for promotion and networking.

Captive Concerns Captive Concerns Complaints about cafeteria food are practically a rite of passage for incoming college freshman, but one student in Burlington says he’s got a bigger bone to pick with his school’s food service than bland entrées or the dearth of vegan options.

Tristan McNamara, a junior at Champlain College, has launched a student campaign to get the administration to drop Sodexho Campus Services as Champlain’s primary foodservice provider. McNamara claims that subsidiaries of Sodexho’s parent corporation, Sodexho Alliance, which is based in Paris, France, exploit prison labor overseas. He points to several sources, including the Prison Moratorium Project in Brooklyn, New York, and the Internet site www.notwithourmoney.org, both of which claim that besides providing ancillary food services to prisons throughout Europe, Sodexho Alliance also owns private, for-profit prison companies in Australia and the United Kingdom. These prisons, McNamara contends, have been associated with repeated charges of human-rights violations, including slave labor and substandard living conditions.

“While I understand that Champlain is influenced by the same concerns as any other business,” McNamara writes in a recent letter to administrators, “I cannot understand how Champlain can support a corporation committed to these practices.”

McNamara says it’s ironic that Champlain College would have a food contract with Sodexho, since the college requires all incoming freshmen to read Eric Schlosser’s book Fast Food Nation. Schlosser’s nonfiction exposé explores the darker side of the processedfood phenomenon in the United States, including its deleterious effect on human health, agriculture, labor unions and the physical landscape. Coincidentally, Schlosser is speaking in Burlington on October 1 at 7:30 p.m.

The nascent anti-Sodexho campaign at Champlain is similar to those launched in recent years at about 60 other college campuses across the United States, including an unsuccessful one several years ago at the University of Vermont. According to Sodexho USA spokesperson Bonnie Gordon in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Sodexho is the nation’s largest provider of campus food services and has contracts with “about five” colleges in

Vermont. Since this is considered proprietary information, however, she would not reveal which ones.

Gordon claims that McNamara is woefully misinformed about her company. Though she admits that Sodexho Alliance operates cafeteria and ancillary food services in about 100 prisons worldwide, she says those operations amount to less than 1 percent of the company’s profits. More importantly, she says that neither Sodexho nor its subsidiaries own any prisons.

“We only work in prisons that are government

run and owned, and we do not work in any prison facility in a country that has the death penalty,” Gordon says. “That’s why you won’t see us working in any prisons in the United States.”

Gordon adds that much of the misinformation about Sodexho Alliance stems from the fact that the corporation once owned shares in Corrections Corporation of America, the largest for-profit prison system in the United States. However, she points out that Sodexho divested itself of all its CCA shares in 2001 because “we felt that the missions and goals of Sodexho did not fit with those of CCA.” That said, however, a recent web search turned up a July 24, 2004, press release by United Kingdom Detention Services. UKDS designs, constructs, owns and operates prisons, including HMS Forest Bank, a prison in Manchester, U.K., that accommodates up to 1064 male prisoners.

The press release describes UKDS as “wholly owned by Sodexho Alliance, S.A.” Currently, Champlain College has no plans to change its food-service providers, according to Provost Russell Willis. Willis, who holds a Ph.D. in Social Ethics, says that “this kind of rhetoric” often arises when there are labor disputes with a company, as Sodexho has experienced at other college campuses in recent years. But he says he told McNamara to “keep the conversation going. That’s what college is for, and it’s a healthy one to have.”

ed to air the film, but she encourages people to examine it as critically as they would any other media offering. “You shouldn’t just accept this as the truth, either,” Wilson suggests. To that end, two ACME members developed a study guide for the film, downloadable for free from www.acme coalition.org.

Activists aren’t the only ones decrying the media’s lackluster reporting on the war — both The New York Times and the Washington Post have issued public apologies in recent weeks for not digging further into the administration’s claims that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, claims which now appear to have been false.

Wilson doesn’t mince words when she talks about the media and Iraq. “The mainstream media are not doing their job,” she says. Wilson cites a Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) study showing that in the two weeks leading up to Secretary of State Colin Powell’s speech before the UN in February 2003, ABC, NBC and PBS aired interviews with 393 sources. They talked mainly with current and retired U.S. officials. Only three of the 393 were affiliated with antiwar groups. “And that’s not counting the Fox Networks of the world,” says Wilson. “Something’s going on here.”

An announcement this weekend from CBS News seems to bolster her claim. The network, still shell-shocked from Dan Rather’s “Memogate,” says it is postponing an investigative report on the rationale behind the Iraq War. A spokesperson said it would be “inappropriate” to air it so close to the election.

Even when ACME sponsors fundraisers, they’re usually for someone else. This summer, the Vermont chapter began hosting monthly film screenings under a project called “Reel Action.”

Williams helped organize two viewings of Outfoxed and Orwell Rolls in His Grave at Waitsfield’s Eclipse Theater in July and August.

The events raised $1000 for a community-run, low-power FM radio station in the Mad River Valley.

Hijacking Catastrophe was September’s Reel Action selection. ACME Vermont held screenings in Brattleboro, Burlington and Waitsfield. An audience member in Waitsfield offered to buy DVD versions for every public-access channel in the state — which is how it will end up on TV. The 60-minute film begins with a chilling montage of clips showing President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and White House spokesman Scott McClellan repeating that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.

“They do have weapons of mass destruction,” says McClellan in a press conference. “That is what this war was about.” The montage is followed by a quote: “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” Who said it? Nazi Reich Marshall Hermann Goering, at the Nuremburg War Trials. That’s not the only time the film likens neocons to Nazis.

Told he was in a copy shop, he asked directions to the nearest Fleet Bank branch, where he got away with less than $200. That afternoon, police said that he held up another bank, making off with $2500.

While fleeing in his truck, however, a dye pack in the money exploded, then his truck got a flat tire. Covered in red dye, Callahan ran to a nearby gas station, where police found him hiding.

Should Have Seen It Coming The St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association fired consultant David Levin, 64, because of concerns that his psychic powers were interfering with his work.

David Toumey, the coroner of Monroe County, Indiana, was demonstrating gun safety to a group of people when he checked to make sure that the weapon was unloaded.

w, Jeez,” my customer said, rifling through his jacket pockets. “Is there a place we can stop to get cigarettes along the way?”

“At this point, not really, man,” I replied. We were en route to the guy’s Woolen Mill apartment in Winooski and had just reached the point where Pearl Street turns into Colchester Avenue. “I mean, nothing along the way. And, to be totally honest about it, I’m trying to keep moving this time of night. You know, last call and all that.”

“No problem, whatsoever. Just get me home, then.”

“Thanks for the understanding,” I said, glancing over at the middle-aged guy sitting next to me. He was smartly dressed — casual, but everything seemed new and top-of-the-line. It was uncommon for a person his age be downtown after midnight. That crowd

His tone was typical of how men of my generation tend to express strong, unwelcome emotions: a jumble of bitterness, anger and irony. is generally under 30. The exceptions to this rule, I’ve found, tend to be the certified alcoholics and the newly divorced.

“I just signed the pages today giving the house to my wife and kids,” the man said, as if he had read my mind. “The whole thing still seems so unreal.” His tone was typical of how men of my generation tend to express strong, unwelcome emotions: a jumble of bitterness, anger and irony, and, beneath that, a sorrow that could fill Lake Champlain.

“That’s too bad, man,” I said. “Must be a huge adjustment.”

“I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, to tell you the truth. All these years I worked my ass off, just for her and the kids. And now this. Those poor kids. My poor wife, really. The whole thing is a friggin’ mess.”

“What kinda work do you do?” I jumped in, steering the conversation away from the raw emotions — a zone I’m not exactly comfortable in.

“Well, I’m sure you know my business,” he replied, naming one of the wellestablished local contractors in the building trades. “It’s all been going down the toilet lately. I’ve been so preoccupied with the divorce, I haven’t been able to

give the business the attention it requires.

We’re down to just 16 full-time employees.”

“It’ll come back up,” I said, trying to console him in some small way. “The building trades tend to be cyclical anyway.”

As we crossed the Winooski Bridge, he said, “Do you mind going up to Chuck’s Mobil? I really need to pick up some Lucky Strikes.”

“Lucky Strikes, huh? You ain’t fooling around. I used to smoke Camels myself. I mean, before there were a dozen filtered varieties and they started marketing them to teenagers.”

I bore right on East Allen, dropping my anxiety about the delay. The poor guy’s getting divorced and he needs his cigs, I figured. As we passed the huge construction site for the Winooski redevelopment project, he said, “I was asked to bid on a big chunk of this thing, but I couldn’t get bonded.” He shook his head and exhaled audibly. “That’s how bad things have gotten.”

We pulled into Chuck’s, and I watched him enter the store and make the buy. Stepping outside, he paused for a moment and tapped the edge of the Luckys on his palm, compacting those non-filters before tearing open the top of the pack.

We were gliding down the long hill back towards the Woolen Mill when my passenger asked, “Do you believe in God?” It was a slightly jarring question, seemingly from nowhere. Then it occurred to me that divorce evokes just that kind of soul-searching.

“Yes, I do,” I replied.

“I guess I do, too,” he said, “But as hard as I try — and don’t think I haven’t — I just can’t figure out what God is doing with my life. Like, what could possibly be the plan?”

“Boy, that’s a tough one. Maybe stuff just happens sometimes. You gotta keep the faith, though, doncha think?”

“Yup, you have to keep the faith.

Thanks for listening to me gripe, by the way. Where are you from, anyway?”

“Well, I grew up in New York City, but I consider this my true home.”

“Hey, you are a Vermonter. And that’s from somebody whose family goes back about five generations up here.”

“Thank you, man,” I replied, feeling a little misty-eyed myself. “I take that as just about the highest compliment.”

We eased to a stop in front of the Woolen Mill apartments, a known way station for divorced men who have the bucks. He paid the fare and said, “You sure I can’t offer you a cigarette?”

“Thanks, but I don’t smoke.”

“Hey, I don’t either,” he said, laughing. “I’ve just taken it up since the divorce.”

“Really?” I said, laughing along with him. “Well, I say, what the hey?” 쩾

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, What is the deal with cousins marrying each other? In most states it’s against the law. Yet where I am working, in a West African francophone country, there is a saying, “Cousins are made for cousins.” Is this practice really genetically unsound, or is that just an American old wives’ tale?

Jay Davidson, Peace Corps volunteer, Mauritania Among the many things Americans just know without ever having thought about it, is that if first cousins marry, their children will be drooling half-wits. The handful who wonders if there’s any logic to this belief probably think: Royal inbreeding. Prince Charles. Case closed.

As recent events have shown, however, a lot of things we Yanks just know aren’t so. The supposed evils of cousin marriage may not be the first one that comes to mind, but it’s definitely on the list. In his impressive dissection of the issue, Forbidden Relatives: The American Myth of Cousin Marriage (1996), anthropologist Martin Ottenheimer points out the following little-known facts — little-known, that is, here in the U.S.: • The U.S. is virtually alone among developed nations in outlawing marriage among first cousins.

European countries have no such prohibition. In some cultures, particularly Islamic ones, first-cousin marriage is encouraged. Even in the U.S., laws forbidding the practice are far from universal. First-cousin marriage is currently illegal or restricted in 31 states. (Some states allow it if there’s no chance of procreation — interesting in light of conservative opposition to gay marriage on the grounds that the institution’s function is to produce children.) It’s legal in the rest — and no, Kentucky and West Virginia aren’t among the permissive ones. Try California and New York.

• First-cousin marriage isn’t a surefire recipe for congenital defects. True, marriage among close kin can increase the chance of pathological recessive genes meeting up in some unlucky individual, with dire consequences. The problem isn’t cousin marriage per se, however, but rather how many of such genes are floating around in the family pool. If the pool’s pretty clean, the

likelihood of genetic defects resulting from cousin marriage is low. A recent review (Bennett et al., Journal of Genetic Counseling, 2002) says that, on average, offspring of first-cousin unions have a 2 to 3 percent greater risk of birth defects than the general population, and a little over 4 percent greater risk of early death.

While those margins aren’t trivial, genetic testing and counseling can minimize the danger. An argument can be made that marriages of first cousins descended from strong stock can produce exceptional children. Charles Darwin, for example, married his first cousin Emma, which wasn’t at all unusual in their prominent and successful family — their common grandparents were cousins, too. Three of Charles and Emma’s 10 kids died in childhood, it’s true, but that was standard for Victorian England; the others went on to productive and in some cases distinguished careers.

• All kidding aside, the formerly high incidence of congenital defects, specifically hemophilia, among European royal families isn’t the classic demonstration of the perils of inbreeding that everybody thinks it is. The short explanation is that hemophilia is an X-chromosome-related characteristic, transmitted only through the female line. The children of royal female carriers would have been at risk no matter whom their mothers had married.

Why are Americans and their legal system so phobic about first-cousin marriage while Europeans aren’t?

Ottenheimer blames several factors. First, bad research in the 19th century greatly exaggerated the dangers of imbecility, blindness, etc., among children of close kin.

This research was eventually discredited in Europe, but Americans and their state legislators never got the word.

Second, cousin marriage in the U.S. was considered a sign of barbarism (probable translation: hillbillies did it).

In Europe, on the other hand, particularly in Mediterranean cultures, cousin marriage had a long and reasonably respectable history, although it’s rare today. Finally, European deep thinkers contended that certain forms of cousin marriage increased social cohesion. No such positive arguments were advanced in the States.

Let me emphasize we’re talking strictly about cousin marriage here. The incest taboo regarding parent-child and sibling unions is still strong in Europe and most other places. Setting aside the issue of exploitation where minor children are concerned, such unions have a much higher risk of “adverse medical outcome” — 7 to 31 percent, according to Bennett et al.

As for cousin marriage — admit it, you admire me for keeping the word “kissin’” out of this discussion — Ottenheimer thinks U.S. laws against it ought to be repealed. I’m not seeing it: Jerry Lee Lewis got a buttload of flak for marrying his first-cousin-once-removed in 1957, and the uproar over gay marriage suggests that rewriting the rules about whom one may properly wed is likely to be a tough sell now. Still, the issue reminds us of the importance of asking, when confronted with some instance of conventional wisdom: Says who?

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

Body of Evidence

T IMAGE Jordan Silverman

NAME JOB LOCATION

elevision’s top-rated series, the Las Vegas version of “CSI,” has spawned sister shows set in Miami and New York City. Audiences apparently can’t get enough of the autopsies that these programs depict in a highly stylized form. Crime-scene investigation is hot, and C. William Kilpatrick, an associate professor at the University of Vermont, offers a cool class for the not-too-squeamish. He says his Forensic Biology Seminar, which predominantly enrolls seniors, is the only college course of its kind in the state.

On a warm Friday afternoon in September, 23 students in an airless room at the Marsh Life Sciences Building seem engrossed in a visual presentation on the kinds of physical trauma that cause death. Each week, the 60-year-old Kilpatrick invites a different guest lecturer. This time it’s Dr. Paul Morrow, formerly Vermont’s chief medical examiner. During his hourlong talk, he discusses the image of a body with two gunshot wounds: Curiously, they appear different because one was slowed by a Harley Davidson patch on the victim’s vest.

Although Kilpatrick has been at UVM for three decades, his biology, zoology and C. William Kilpatrick UVM Biology Associate Professor natural history specialties did not include a forensics course until this semester. Off & DNA Expert Witness campus, his knowledge of DNA profiling Burlington — a.k.a. “fingerprinting” — has made him an expert witness at trials in the region. The tall, hefty Fairfax resident, a native of Texas, pays close attention to well-publicized homicides across the country. His familiarity with the shoddy procedures at a crime lab involved in the O.J. Simpson legal proceedings led him to predict that the former football hero would get off. Kilpatrick, who currently suspects that the prosecution has “a weak case” against alleged wife-murderer Scott Peterson, is naturally a big fan of “CSI.”

CWK: Students want that career choice.

There seems to be a lot of demand for these skills. So UVM decided last semester to provide forensics as a concentration of study. This course is the capstone. After this, it’ll be offered once a year in the fall.

Most of them are biology majors. They need to have taken several prerequisites, such as chemistry and genetics. There are no tests, no papers. Class participation is everything. They must ask questions.

SD: You don’t participate in the autopsies or hands-on investigations.

CWK: Right. The state crime lab sends me their information — x-rays, photographs and other documentation — and I analyze it to provide a second opinion. DNA fingerprinting began in the 1970s but took a while to gain acceptance. Now, the techniques have been revolutionized. The biggest change is that we can look at trace amounts of DNA. SD: Are there ever mistakes?

CWK: An innocent person has never been convicted on DNA evidence.

Conversely, people have been released from prison when DNA proves their innocence. It’s an absolute if we’re talking about unrelated individuals, but a more slippery slope when it comes to identical twins, even siblings sometimes.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Heinrich credits his father, however, with not only his own interest in the birds and bees — literally — but with his ability to really see them. “I believe Papa helped to make me aware of the beauty of the world, for its own sake,” Heinrich writes in the text accompanying his Fleming exhibit.

Near the gallery’s entrance, Heinrich’s biography is presented in writing, photographs and specimens — some bird nests and eggs he collected as a child — along with some neatly drawn pictures.

“I started drawing as a little kid — not much of it, though,” Heinrich says.

“Maybe 30 or 40 pictures, but that’s about it.” Later, in college at the University of Maine, he was too busy to draw. But when he picked it up again in graduate school at UCLA, other students liked the work so much that they often commissioned pictures to accompany scientific reports or give as presents.

With such a haphazard artistic back-

or someone with a solo exhibit at the Fleming Museum, Bernd Heinrich has an unusual resume: You wouldn’t think the same guy who created that exquisite portrait of a raven on display in the Main Gallery could also be the left-brained author of such articles as “Nervous control of the heart during thoracic temperature regulation in a sphinx moth.” But he is; “Bernd Heinrich: The Naturalist as Artist” is one of a four-part “suite” of exhibits dedicated to nature-inspired artworks at the Fleming this fall.

Heinrich, 64, retired from the University of Vermont biology department in 2003 after 22 years — “retired” meaning simply that he’s no longer a fulltime professor. He still hasn’t traded science, book-writing and long-distance running for less disciplined pastimes. Nor

the Marsh Life Science building. “I’d love to take courses and learn better techniques — mine are very limited.”

Maybe so, but only a highly trained critic might suggest there was anything amateur about Heinrich’s drawings.

Clearly they are as carefully observed as what any “real” artist could do — just look at the delicate sheen of his raven’s feathers, the reflection in the bird’s beady eye, the tiny ridges of leathery skin on its legs. Speaking of critics, Heinrich says that although he’s attracted to animal art such as the bird paintings of Louis Agassiz Fuertes, “Audubon’s birds are a little bit stiff to me, even though they look technically perfect.”

Such perfectionism is to be expected from a scientist, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that his hand could reproduce what

has he stopped making art. He just doesn’t call it that. Heinrich was not trained as an artist; he never had a single lesson.

In fact, “I always admired what other people did and thought I couldn’t possibly learn how,” he says modestly during a recent interview at his cluttered office in

Heinrich concedes his grandmother was an excellent artist. But his father, Gerd, an amateur biologist who collected bird specimens for museums around the world, had ample exposure to the creatures, yet “couldn’t draw a straight line.”

ground, why are his drawings so good? “I don’t know,” Heinrich says simply. “I put 98 percent of my effort into science. When someone tells me they’re good, I’m really surprised.” Looking at the exhibition card the Fleming printed for his show, Heinrich demonstrates this amazement anew: “I can’t believe I did that,” he says, gazing at the exquisitely rendered cranefly as if he were laying eyes on a rare specimen.

This is precisely the kind of unabashed wonder Heinrich has had for the natural world since childhood. Born in Poland in 1940, he fled the ravages of World War II with his family. For the next five years they lived a life of isolation and hardship, deep in a German forest. Although Bernd had no toys and few playmates, he writes, all the surrounding woods and wildlife were his to explore. During this time he adopted his first bird, a baby crow he named Jacob. There would be many more — ravens, owls, geese.

Heinrich, whose boyish face and trim physique belie his age, recalls when the family immigrated to the United States, eventually settling in another woods, in western Maine. Heinrich still maintains a camp there, not far from the Good Will Home for Children, which he and his sister attended from 1952 to ’59. His parents were gone for seven years, collecting specimens in exotic locales. Gerd would later receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Maine for his work with ichneumon wasps.

During these formative years, Bernd continued to make the natural world his playground. It was a stimulating environment from which he turned childhood curiosity into a stellar career. Among Heinrich’s accomplishments: turning painstaking hours of observation, notetaking and drawing into countless articles for both scientific and lay publications.

And he’s written some 15 books — so far.

In 2003-04 alone, Heinrich published 20 articles, four book chapters and two books — The Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival and The Geese of a Beaver Bog. A former ultramarathoner who ran 50- and 100-mile races, he’s now down to a mere 20 to 40 miles a week. But Heinrich also has to keep up with the demands of a second family that includes two young children.

From an earlier marriage he has a daughter who practices medicine at Fletcher Allen Health Care, and a son studying engineering at UVM. At present, Heinrich is “trying to wrestle to the ground” a new book tentatively titled The Snoring Bird. He says it’s part memoir, part family history. It will likely provide readers with more insight into Bernd Heinrich, the man, than the critters he has so patiently and lovingly studied.

Heinrich’s approach to sketching gives special meaning to the term “life drawing.” He has always drawn primarily from nature, occasionally using photographs because “birds won’t hold still for you.” This is a man who thinks nothing of sitting for hours in a winter woods, hidden by brush and watching ravens play in snow, or feast on a carcass, or nuzzle with mates. His drawings of birds, insects and even twigs in the Fleming exhibit reflect what guest curator Bill Lipke calls “a caressing of the material, a sensitive rendering that goes way beyond whatever visual proof was needed to present to the reader.”

Lipke is a fellow emeritus professor, though in the art department, whose “early buyout” from the university permits him to continue teaching part-time.

He developed an interest in Heinrich’s work while reading his 1989 Ravens in Winter to a hospice patient. “Bernd is a wonderful character — that notion of how a scientist thinks is so nicely framed in his writing,” Lipke says. “He’s kind of like a John McPhee; you don’t have to be trained in his field to understand.”

The books rely heavily on Heinrich’s drawings, Lipke says, noting that he could have used photographs but chose not to. “Calling it art is maybe not the big deal; it’s Bernd Heinrich, the naturalist as artist,” Lipke continues. “He comes with that interest first. But clearly he understands — look at those nests! He’s got a sense of the weight, density and

texture of the natural world. He does it for the information about how the world is put together.”

Fascinated, Lipke decided to “take the work and let it stand on its own.” He designed a freshman course “around the things that fall between the fingers of art historians, such as Audubon,” he explains.

“It’s just starting to creep into the general art history text — scientific notations about the natural world that might have an aesthetic intrigue.”

In conjunction with his class, Lipke proposed the Heinrich work to Fleming curator Evelyn Hankins, who augmented his idea by culling items from the museum’s permanent collection for the companion exhibits. These include “Fungi, Unicorns and Beached Whales: Artists as Naturalists,” a selection of illustrations, paintings and photographs spanning five centuries.

Heinrich seems puzzled, but pleased, to find his drawings displayed alongside these extraordinary works. “I would like to have been an artist,” he says, almost apologetically, “but I was into science.

To me it’s all a matter of aesthetics — a study, a focus. A picture does the same thing.” m

familiarity with Chainsaw Liz than Gov. Jim Douglas. After all, Ready of Lincoln was one of Middlebury Jim’s two Addison County state senators for a dozen years.

“These misrepresentations,” said Gov. Douglas on Tuesday, “reflect poorly on public officials and on the state. It’s a pattern of misrepresentation over a long period that is very disturbing. I believe the credibility of a public official is all that he or she has.”

Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Peter Clavelle of Burlington, however, had a different take.

“I support Liz,” Clavelle said in a Seven Days interview. “I think she’s been a good auditor.

She’s made mistakes and she’s owned up to them, and it’s time to move on.”

Mayor Moonie’s in a tough spot. Liz is an old friend.

However, let’s face it, Ready’s resumé-padding is not exactly going to boost the Democratic ticket.

Nonetheless, we expect Chainsaw to oil her chain, dig in her heels and try to ride it out. Career-wise, her chances of rising up to the next political tier appear to be nil at the moment. Holding what she’s got will require the toughest political fight of her life. And with Jim Douglas appearing comfortably en route to reelection, GOP state-auditor candidate Randy Brock just went from 10-to-1 to 2-to-1.

Also of concern for the Democrats is the fact that two years ago, Elizabeth Ready drew the lowest percentage of votes on the Democratic ticket — 51.3 percent. Democratic Secretary of State Deb Markowitz got 61 percent.

Getting a majority to back Ready after her honesty-challenged character just became front-page news will be a mighty tall order. But clearly, Elizabeth has no one to blame but herself.

Hogan Quits FAHC — The powers that be on Hospital Hill did not bother to issue a press release, but Seven Days has learned that Con Hogan has abruptly resigned from the board at Fletcher Allen Health Care.

The former state official and gubernatorial candidate in 2002 apparently decided that life is just too short and he didn’t want to spend any more of his life helping Vermont’s largest hospital get its problemplagued act together.

Hogan quietly quit a couple weeks ago. He had chaired the board’s Governance Committee.

Remember, the current board was brought in after the previous one failed to exercise any oversight over former CEO Bill Boettcher. Big Bill concealed the true costs of the Mary Fanny’s massive expansion from state regulators and

apparently from most of the trustees, too.

The new board and new management team headed by Dr. Melinda Estes were supposed to turn the Good Ship Mary Fanny around. The sudden resignation of the wellrespected Hogan is not a good sign, folks.

Hogan was perhaps the best-known member of the new, “clean” board of trustees.

His years running Vermont’s Agency of Human Services only enhanced his reputation as an experienced, proven leader.

Losing him is obviously a big embarrassment for the honchos on Hospital Hill, which likely explains why no announcement of his departure was made.

Hogan could not be reached for comment this week. He’s believed to be traveling overseas doing consulting work. But Bill Schubart, chairman of the Mary Fanny board, did confirm Hogan’s abrupt departure.

Schubart said he had “a very good talk” with Hogan before he resigned. And based on that talk, Chairman Bill said Con Hogan had left in frustration because the Governance Committee proposal to dilute the power of the four “parents” who control the hospital was rejected. Hogan wanted to open up seats on the board to outside members of the community.

Pretty radical stuff, eh?

The four parents of FAHC are Fanny Allen, UVM, the Vermont Health Foundation and the University Health Center. Each group, said Schubart, picks four trustees.

Big Bill said that Hogan’s proposal to expand the board was supported by only two of the parents, though he declined to identify them.

A third, he said, “was willing to keep an open mind, and one was not supportive.”

Apparently, Hogan took the lack of “parental support” as a sign of things to come and decided he could put his energies into more productive endeavors.

“I think,” said Chairman Schubart, “that Con didn’t want to be patient and see how it played out, and I understand that. Con is a person of action.”

Big Bill told Seven Days that he “agreed absolutely” with Hogan’s proposal to alter the structure of the hospital board and open up seats to community members.

“Being new to this,” meaning the Mary Fanny, said Schubart, “I’m more patient.”

Leahy Lets Loose — It’s not often that Vermont’s senior Senator Patrick J. Leahy lets his hair down, as they say, but Saturday was one of those days.

we’ve ever heard him deliver.

Since it got no press coverage, here are some of his best shots.

“At a time when we are fighting an insidious enemy abroad,” said Leahy, “we find that insidious seeds are being planted in our democracy right here at home during the campaign. To hold on to power, to preserve their own political selfinterest, President Bush and his political minions are now trying to smother debate about the policies on terrorism and on Iraq.

“They are implying somehow that a coronation of President Bush rather than a reelection would be the patriotic thing to do. I don’t want to be lectured on patriotism by any of that crowd at the White House!” said Leahy with spit in his voice and anger in his face.

“They have the sheer gall to say that if you ask any question about their war on terrorism, or on how badly they’ve handled the war in Iraq, that somehow we are giving aid and comfort to our enemies. They even go on to say that terrorists have a preference in our election. Well, I’ll tell them something!”

And tell them he did.

“Some of the same people making these vile attacks,” said St. Patrick, “have yet to accept even basic accountability for their roles in the events described in detail by the 9/11 commission.”

Leahy told the attentive crowd how “ironic” it was that Vice President Dick Cheney would attack John Kerry’s patriotism and suggest there will be more terrorist attacks on America if a Democrat wins the White House.

“This is especially ironic,” said Leahy, his voice cracking, “because he [Cheney] was in charge of the government the last time they attacked. And they have yet to accept any responsibility for that!”

“They have yet to answer the question why Attorney General Ashcroft on September 11th wanted to cut funds for antiterrorism, funds he was all for on September 12.”

“My friends, the time has come to stand our ground. We are Americans just as much as they are, with our constitutional and God-given rights to speak what we believe, and nobody nobody should dare tell us to shut up!

“This is the American people’s election. It’s not al Qaeda’s.

It’s not Karl Rove’s, and it’s not Dick Cheney’s, and it’s not George Bush’s. It’s the American people’s, and nobody can take that away from us!”

Like I said, Leahy’s heart and soul were really in this one. St. Patrick is personally living in the eye of the storm, and the two armed, plainclothes Capitol Police officers who accompany him everywhere remind us just how high the stakes are. m

Sarah Erdman speaks at Middlebury College at 4:30 p.m.

Monday, October 4.

hen students seek career advice from Jim Ralph, he encourages them to act their age.

“I urge students to consider their twenties as a time of opportunity for doing exciting things,” says the Middlebury College history professor. “I don’t try to mold an individual to do a particular kind of work. I suggest students take advantage of their youth to try out different possibilities.”

A comparatively large number of Middlebury students try out the Peace Corps. About 400 Midd alums have enlisted in the 42 years since John F. Kennedy called on young Americans to devote two years of their lives to development work in poor countries. Among small liberal arts colleges, the Vermont college is a top sending school.

Currently, there are 27 Middlebury grads in active service.

Sarah Erdman, class of ’96, says Professor Ralph’s counsel was a factor in her own decision to volunteer as a health educator in Ivory Coast. Erdman returns to Middlebury next week to talk about the Peace Corps experience as chronicled in her book, Nine Hills to Nambonkaha: Two Years in the Heart of an African Village.

This collection of finely etched portraits depicts people with lives vastly different from the author’s. Erdman traces the texture of daily routines and seasonal cycles in an Islamic/animist community that hasn’t changed much in the past 100 years. But she also shows how even here — in a parched, impoverished region with few links to the larger world — modern influences are encroaching.

The appeal of Nine Hills is Erdman’s storytelling. An operatic cast of characters offers rich material, it’s true, but a less graceful writer would have paraded them as types rather than delineating them as individuals.

Erdman makes the most of a colorful setting, as well, enabling her readers to attend harrowing childbirths, revel at all-night wedding parties and find comfort in the “toktok” sounds of village women grinding corn with pestles.

Her account is also satisfying from an intellectual perspective. Erdman comes to Nambonkaha as a stranger from a country locals regard as impossibly distant and exotic.

Through tactful persistence, she gains the trust and, eventually, the friendship of many villagers. That in turn allows her to make incremental gains toward the goal of improved health care. As an expression of the possessiveness they feel for their “toubabou,” or “white person,” the villagers give Erdman the name Guissongui. In the local Niarafolo language, it means, “The Dreams of the Enemy Will Not Be Realized.”

Utterly charmed, Erdman develops a deep empathy for her hosts; near the end of her two-year assignment, she even flirts with the option of staying there. “Why am I leaving?” she wonders. “Why do you trade in happiness for uncertainty? What makes you give up a good thing?”

What sets Nine Hills apart from travelogues by American Africaphiles is Erdman’s refusal to romanticize aspects of Nambonkaha that deserve rebuke. Some traditions — female genital mutilation, for example — don’t deserve respect, she argues. She also exposes certain religious beliefs as dangerous superstitions, such as viewing AIDS as the work of evil spirits. In Erdman’s case, serving in the Peace Corps doesn’t mean being PC. At one point, Erdman learns that some villagers routinely dump pesticides in a stream to make the fishing easier. Her suppressed frustrations explode. “How, how can

they?” she shouts at the bemused mayor of Nambonkaha. “This is the ‘sacred’ stream, the one the ancestors inhabit, the one where women douse their children for good luck!”

The villagers “have no regard for the day after tomorrow,” Erdman lectures the mayor. And in an aside to her readers, she adds, “It’s all just helpless. I want to yell, ‘Well, that’s why you’re stuck in the last century, that’s why you die early, that’s why progress slips through your fingertips: pesticide in the water, empty memorized phrases at school, four uneducated wives at home with no rights.’”

Erdman also resists the West’s unquestioning embrace of progress.

And at the same time, she resists the temptation to view underdevelopment as quaint. One evening, after years of broken promises,

rently serves in Madagascar. She herself is now employed at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, where she places volunteers in Eastern Europe and central Asia.

Although Erdman would appear to have a genetic predisposition to Peace Corps service, her years at Middlebury did help coax her in that direction, she says.

“The college has such an international focus. “I was excited by all the symposia on topics like the Mideast conflict and development in Africa.”

Spencer was an important figure in Erdman’s education. He taught African history and served as her advisor on a thesis entitled, “Palestinian Women in the Intifada.” She notes, “He may not have led me to join the Peace Corps, but he always encouraged me along the way.”

Matthew Meyer, for example, says he has known since eighth grade in Shelburne that he wanted to join the Peace Corps. Now a Middlebury senior majoring in neuroscience, Meyer hopes to become a volunteer in North Africa or the Middle East. He’s been learning Arabic from Professor Christopher Stone, a former Peace Corpsman in Yemen.

Meyer’s father was one of the first volunteers in Gambia.

“Generally speaking, there’s a self-selecting factor at work,” says Spencer. “A lot of Middlebury students who go into the Peace Corps come to the college with a spirit of adventure and a love of the outdoors.”

Erdman agrees that high schoolers with wide horizons gravitate toward colleges like Middlebury. “It tends to attract

In Erdman’s case, serving in the Peace Corps doesn’t mean being PC. Celebrating the Blues!

Sunday, October 10 at 7 pm electric lights suddenly blink on in Nambonkaha. Erdman understands that this advance will confer a kind of freedom on the village, but her initial reaction is one of dismay. “We’ve been stripped naked by streetlights,” she writes.

“Darkness was delicious. We survived in little islands of light defined by our flame.”

But that’s the attitude, she realizes, of someone who has always been able to switch lights on and off at will. In Nambonkaha, the advent of electricity is cause for wonderment. “Needless to say,” Erdman reports, “the villagers are ecstatic.”

The book’s uncommonly observant quality reflects the ease its author feels in foreign settings.

Erdman “has internationalism in her veins,” remarks John Spencer, a now-retired Middlebury professor whom Erdman describes as “a great mentor and friend.”

Erdman was raised in Turkey, Cyprus, Yugoslavia, Israel and Portugal, with an occasional, and disconcerting, return “home” to the Washington suburbs. In keeping with her parents’ aim of making their kids feel American, Erdman was parachuted into a Maryland high school straight from a paradise in Portugal, Erdman recalls. “I had trouble acclimating. Everybody was like, ‘Hey, let’s go to the mall!’”

Her father Richard, a career foreign service officer, is currently U.S. ambassador to Algeria.

Erdman speaks French, Portuguese and a second West African tribal language in addition to Niarafolo. Peace Corps work also runs in the family. Richard Erdman was a volunteer in Turkey, and Sarah’s brother cur-

Not surprisingly, Middlebury’s role as a hatchery for Peace Corps workers has a chicken-and-egg aspect. Some students may be inspired to become volunteers as a result of what they learn in the school’s famed language classes or during its study-abroad semesters.

But many future Peace Corps members, it seems, arrive at the school with the fully formed intention of serving overseas.

curious and active students. Many people attending Middlebury don’t just want to succeed in finance or academia,” she says.

Many at Midd also come from money. That may or may not be accompanied by a sense of noblesse oblige. Professor Ralph puts it this way: “There’s an ethos among students here of giving back to the community, both locally and in a global sense.” 쩾

wo large pieces of Barre Gray Granite are standing in Rob Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front yard in West Chazy, New York. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist running your hand over the surface â&#x20AC;&#x201D; smooth on two sides, ridged with drill marks down STORY the others. The stones are warm in the & IMAGES sun, reassuringly solid to the touch. They CYNTHIA have an aura of permanence about them, POTTS immutable and unmoving. Small wonder.

Each stone is a little over 11 feet long and The Roysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual weighs roughly 5 tons. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going open house, featuring their anywhere.

Well, actually, they are. And one much cordwood masonry home, like them already has. This past August, alternative-energy Roy gathered a dozen friends and students sources and, using only tools and techniques that and other works-in-progress, were available 4000 years ago, maneuvered the stone into an upright position. takes place October 2, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of the most exciting days of 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 p.m. megalithic work that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever seen,â&#x20AC;? Roy Info, explains, infectious cheer filling his voice. www.bigstones.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nine people worked as one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and each contributed in a powerful and meaningful way.â&#x20AC;? Raising the first stone began the process of erecting a trilothon, one of the doorway-shaped structures that form Stonehenge.

Not everyone wants a full-sized replica of Stonehenge in their front yard, but a surprising number of people do. All around the world, apparently, homeowners are bringing in boulders, tipping them on end and using the results as ceremonial spaces, meditative gardens or landscape accents.

Roy chalks this trend up to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;megalithic revival,â&#x20AC;? a kind of global consciousness thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring people to re-experi-

ence the building challenges of their ancient ancestors. And he should know.

Roy has authored a book on the subject, Stone Circles: A Modern Builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to the Megalithic Revival, and publishes a bi-annual magazine, The Club Meg News, for stone-circle enthusiasts. With his wife Jaki, Roy runs the Earthwood Building School, which focuses on cordwood homes. But every other year he teaches workshops on stone-raising techniques so that students can gain some hands-on experience before they begin pushing boulders around at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building stone circles can be a compulsion, if not an obsession,â&#x20AC;? Roy writes in Stone Circles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some like it for the aesthetics. I like the engineering challenge, solving the problems as they arise.â&#x20AC;? Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is heavy on the sweat and elbow grease, light on the bulldozers. By sticking to megalithic methods, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced to rely on back and brain power.

Looking at Roy you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy who moves large rocks for recreation.â&#x20AC;?

Treatment areas include, nasal creases, frown lines, lines around eyes, mouth and lips. round a fire ring while short, squat boulders are arranged slightly further out. Beyond these are 4- to 6-foot standing stones, one of which looks disconcertingly like a petrified rabbit. They seem like big pretty rocks, until you glimpse the behemoth towering at the other end of his yard.

Two years ago, Roy and his megalith movers erected “Juliesteyna,” a 20-foot, 20-ton, irregularly shaped piece of granite from the Rock of Ages Quarry in Barre, Vermont.

Juliesteyna translates as “Yule Stone” — fitting, considering the stone’s purpose. Roy placed the stone to mark where the sun sets on the shortest day of the year, much the same way that ancient Celts used Stonehenge as an astronomical clock.

Juliesteyna was raised using the stacked-timbers method.

After cradling it in a stone “boat” to even out its irregular surface, the crew applied simple physics to lever the giant rock high enough to slide a timber underneath. Once that support was in place, they levered the stone

port out of the way.

“In about two seconds,” Roy explains, still unable to contain his excitement at the retelling, “this 20-ton stone changed from horizontal to vertical.” The final installation went without a hitch — although keen-eyed observers reported seeing a puff of smoke where Juliesteyna had crushed a smaller stone at the edge of the socket hole.

higher in the opposite direction and slid another timber under that. Using these pivot points, the crew managed to raise the stone 4-and-a-half feet. That took most of a day, Rob says.

The next step was a little touchy. It was vitally important to find the balance point of Juliesteyna. Otherwise the whole structure could tumble to the ground — and potentially crush some of the work crew in the process. Eventually, Roy was satisfied that the stone was properly positioned. A half-inch variance in the “socket hole” caused some concern, but the die was cast. Roy himself hit away the bracing stone with a sledgehammer, and ropes yanked the sup-

Stonehenge,” Roy told his crew.

Given the stone’s fairly regular shape, “Things should have been relatively easy, but they weren’t. On the fifth day of the workshop, the group was bringing the stone upright when the 5.7-ton boulder got caught up on two 250-pound stones in the socket hole. But Roy’s crew was not to be denied. “They moved lots of wheelbarrows full of materials out of there. One stone had to be broken up and moved out that way. For the other, we had to dig another hole, further down, and shift that stone out of range.”

The group’s tenacity paid off.

One of the mysteries about Stonehenge and other stone circles is how primitive people managed to bring multi-ton rocks hundreds of miles to their desired location. Roy has his stones trucked in from Barre.

But that’s it for modern assistance. And when the small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to test their prehistoric engineering skills last month, time seemed to melt away.

At this year’s workshop, the group’s task was to raise one of the waiting 11-foot stones. “I know of no other stones that have been raised this way — completely by hand — since

standing stone about a dozen yards from Juliesteyna. Three feet of the stone was set into the ground, leaving about eight feet visible. “It’s beautiful,” Roy says.

“It’s about 18 inches east of where we intended, but that’s OK. The next one will have to be exactly spot-on, though, because we intend to top the pair with the lintel stone.”

It will be a couple of years before the other upright is raised, and two more after that before the topping occurs.

There’s still some debate about trilothon topping in the megalithic world, but Roy has a plan.

The lintel stone will be laid between the two uprights, raised

and New Zealand to research building methods.

How did primitive people move multi-ton rock countless miles and wrest them into position? Theories abound. Some contend that the work involved roller logs, earthen ramps, timber platforms or that perpetual favorite: pits, ropes and an endless supply of slave labor. Others advocate for a more magical approach, claiming that ancient people chanted, meditated or merely willed the stones into place. One or two authors flit around the fringe, arguing that Stonehenge was dropped in place by aliens.

circles as sacred spaces, temples in touch with the spirit of the Earth. He compares his job to that of a conductor assembling “all the elements of a choral piece together in a harmonious way, so that the meaning and words of the song ring clear and true.”

“I was very impressed with Ivan,” Roy says. “He led us on a number of spiritual journeys during the workshop. An exercise where each participant ‘became’ a stone helped us recognize the stones as healing beings.”

That kind of recognition requires an open mind. Roy describes the people who attend

using the same stacked-timber method. “There won’t be a lot of room to work in there,” he predicts. “Things may get particularly tricky when it’s time to turn the 5-ton block the necessary 90 degrees to rest on the uprights. It’s an awful lot of work.”

So why does he bother? “For me, my interest began when I was bicycling from Salisbury to Stonehenge. This was back in the days when you could pay the man a shilling and wander among the stones. Walking there, realizing how powerful they are, got me interested in how it is all done.” Roy began building stone circles himself about 25 years ago, using everything from the tiniest beach stones to full-fledged boulders.

He’s traveled the world in pursuit of so-called sacred spaces, journeying as far as Easter Island

“I’m not a real metaphysical person,” Roy insists, “but some magic happens here. There are times when we have a bonfire, people get inside the circle, and they just feel good. There’s something to that.”

Roy leaves most of the “transrational,” spiritual stuff to his occasional co-teacher, Ivan McBeth, a self-proclaimed Druid, shaman and geomancer from Cornwall, England.

McBeth is Britain’s foremost stone-circle builder, according to his website, www.ivanmcbeth. com. He has erected several throughout Europe, including one at a major music festival and another as a memorial for music legend Joe Strummer.

McBeth, a shaggy-haired, bearded man who looks like a character from Lord of the Rings, is a man on a mission.

He’s determined to present stone

his “Club Meg” workshops as free thinkers. “When people come to our cordwood workshops, they’re the types who can think outside the box. They’re willing to consider a round house built out of short pieces of wood. But our stone-circle people, they’re, ‘Box? What box?

There’s supposed to be a box?’”

Roy says with a chuckle.

“Sometimes we get someone who starts out as a cordwood person, and they just fall over the edge into stone circles.”

Putting all of these free thinkers together creates a community Roy really enjoys.

“Many of our students have become friends,” he says. That’s no surprise, considering Roy’s affection for people who can look way, way back in time as well as forward… to moving 20ton rocks for fun. 쩾

Dead Reckoning

hen it comes to ingenious ways of mourning the dead, the Victorians sure had us beat. In the opening pages of Hartland author Sarah Stewart Taylor’s new mystery, a young widow in 1863 Boston fingers the STORY “hairwork” necklace she’s made to comMARGOT memorate her rich husband. “By working HARRISON the locks of hair around a mold to make twenty intricately netted balls and then Mansions stringing them together, she had been able of the Dead, to make a necklace that reached the third

by Sarah button of her dress,” Taylor writes.

Stewart Taylor, After this prologue, the novel’s action St. Martin’s Minotaur, shifts promptly to the present-day, where 340 pages, the hair in the brooch serves an unfore$23.95. seen purpose — as potential DNA evidence in a murder investigation. But whatever the twists of Taylor’s plot, she always returns to the central question of how and why we mourn.

Death is also a fixation for Taylor’s amateur detective protagonist, Sweeney St. George — a willowy, redheaded art history professor with a formidable back story. In Taylor’s debut novel, O’ Artful Death, Sweeney’s fascination with an anachronistic marble tombstone plunged her into the shady secrets of an artists’ colony in

Vermont. For the sequel, Taylor has moved her action to the Boston area, where Sweeney teaches a seminar on “Mourning Objects” at a university — unnamed, but clearly Harvard. When one of her students is found suffocated, his body adorned with pieces of Victorian jewelry, Sweeney resumes her role as an inspired meddler in official police investigations.

Mansions of the Dead is infused with the Victorian moodiness of Cambridge’s Mount Auburn Cemetery — its centerpiece setting. Mount Auburn was one of the first “garden cemeteries,” Sweeney tells her students. It’s a living demonstration of 19th-century Americans’ predilection to bury their loved ones in pastoral settings they saw as “places for spiritual refreshment and melancholy contemplation.”

But murdered Brad Putnam, scion of a Boston brahmin family, seems to have found something troubling among his ancestors’ graves. Not long before his death, he hinted to Sweeney that he had “come across information that could maybe hurt someone.”

His comment takes on sinister meaning when Sweeney noses into the provenance of the jewelry found on Brad’s corpse.

“Far better than the best in Boston or Montréal.”

Taylor thickens the intrigue in Mansions by putting Sweeney simultaneously on the trail of two mysteries — one in the past, one in the present — and by introducing a whole pageant of suspicious characters.

As she did in O’ Artful Death, Taylor thickens the intrigue in Mansions by putting Sweeney simultaneously on the trail of two mysteries — one in the past, one in the present — and by introducing a whole pageant of suspicious characters.

The Putnam family, which is Kennedy-like in its closedmouthed loyalty, includes an alcoholic patriarch and his estranged wife, a precocious congressional candidate, a stuffedshirt Yuppie couple and a handsome, dissolute sculptor. The family’s already been blacklisted by police in Newport for refusing to divulge who was at the wheel in a fatal drunk-driving accident. Delving into the Putnams’ past, Sweeney finds that their wealth and privilege rest on ground as swampy as their prized Back Bay real estate.

Taylor’s efforts diverge from the classic plot-driven mystery novel in two ways: Her wealth of historical and art-historical detail and her close attention to the development of Sweeney, a sleuth

who’s experienced her own share of personal tragedy. In O’ Artful Death, the murders forced Sweeney to confront memories of her fiancé’s violent death. In Mansions, the Putnams, for whom denial is a way of life, make Sweeney grapple with her past as the child of an alcoholic.

It’s an ambitious recipe, and the ingredients don’t blend as well in Mansions as they did in Taylor’s first novel. The story has so many subplots and red herrings that some of them end up seeming extraneous or simply half-baked. Homicide detective Timothy Quinn, for instance, is a figure as moody as Sweeney or Brad. He quotes Keats as he juggles the Putnam case and life at home with a severely depressed wife. But the implied parallel between Quinn’s problems and Sweeney’s isn’t sufficiently explored, and his deference to her deductions is hard to believe.

Even Sweeney sometimes reads more like a sketch than a full-fledged character. Readers of O’ Artful Death will be pleased

to see development — if not resolution — of the quandaries Sweeney brought back from Vermont. Those meeting her for the first time may wish they had a stronger impression of who this woman is and why a dark cloud seems to follow her.

If you like your mysteries to snap shut like steel traps, the resolution of Mansions won’t satisfy, either. The dénouement is hurried, and the killer’s motivation isn’t adequately foreshadowed or fleshed out — a problem in a novel that focuses on the psychological ramifications of death and violence.

Still, anyone who’s ever wandered through a graveyard wondering about the secrets its inscriptions conceal will want to come along on Sweeney’s peregrinations in Boston and Newport. Finally, the novel seems to suggest, the answer to whodunit is less interesting than the history behind the mystery — the lies, loves and ironies of the past, which even the Putnams can’t succeed in burying with their dead. 쩾

FROM MANSIONS OF THE DEAD: [Brad had] asked, “What do you think death is like?”

“I don’t think it’s like anything,” Sweeney had said.

“It’s unconsciousness.”

“So you don’t believe in heaven or Judgment Day or anything like that? I thought that…”

“That because I spend so much time studying religious responses to Death, I must believe in the premises on which all that art is based? Nope. I’m a good old atheist. I think heaven is for children’s bedtime prayers. What I’m interested in, though, is why human beings need a heaven.”

“I think we need it because when someone you love dies, it’s just hard to believe that they’re not somewhere. You know?” He’d looked almost wistful.

“I think you’re right.” Suddenly she’d panicked.

“I’m not offending you, am I?” “No. My dad always says we’re Episcopatheists.”

“Ha.” She’d laughed. “I like that. Episcopatheists. I come from a long line of Episcopatheists myself.”

“But I believe in heaven,” he’d said. “Or something anyway. I believe that there’s something else, after.”

Sweeney had felt she’d been cruel and she’d blushed before saying, “You’re lucky, then.”

He had been quiet for a moment, then he’d said, “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“I heard from some of the other kids about what happened in London. About your husband.”

They had gotten that part of it wrong.

“He wasn’t my husband. We were engaged.”

“Oh. I’m sorry.” He’d hesitated, and then he’d stammered on. “I heard about how it happened, about how it was an explosion and they never caught the person or people or whatever who did it and I was just wondering…” He’d stopped there, as though he was trying to figure out what to say. “Have you ever, when you were doing research or something, have you ever found out something about somebody, something that would change everything, change the way people looked at things?”

Sweeney had been confused. “Do you mean about a gravestone?”

“Maybe, or about… I mean, have you ever come across information that could maybe hurt someone, but that could be important? I mean…” He’d struggled. “If someone had a piece of information that was… something else about a person, some important thing that you didn’t know before, and they could tell you—would you want to know?”

“I’m not sure I know what you’re asking,” she’d said. “It would depend on what the information was.

Do you want to tell me anything more?”

SGT. LAURIE KRUPP WITH LEO PORTER IN BACKGROUND

BULLIED in Brandon Homophobia, harassment and hate crimes — where were the police?

STORY KEN PICARD IMAGES JORDAN SILVERMAN

For his 21st birthday in August, Leo Porter received a gift he’d wanted for a very long time — a hate-crimes prevention order.

Now he wants his life back.

Not that Porter has had much of a life to speak of until now. For the last five years, he’s been living in a small, three-bedroom apartment on Route 7 in Brandon and taking care of his 14-year-old brother, Jonathan, his 50-year-old, mentally handicapped uncle Edward and, until three months ago, his terminally ill mother Irene. She died on June 23 at the age of 42 from complications due to kidney failure. For the last year of her life, Irene Porter was too sick to leave the house except to make the 40-mile round trip to Rutland Regional Medical Center for dialysis several times a week.

Porter, who is the legal guardian of his brother and uncle, has been essentially acting as the head of the household since he was 9. Like his mother, Porter rarely left the house in recent years, but for an entirely different reason. Since the summer of 2001, Porter claims, he and his family have been the targets of ongoing physical and psychological harassment perpetrated by their neighbor, David Martel, Sr., and members of Martel’s family.

The Martels have repeatedly denied those charges. But Porter’s allegations are documented in a 16-page affidavit filed by Brandon Police Detective Sgt. Laurie Krupp. According to the affidavit, “the relentless harassment, verbal threats, intimidation and threat of physical violence on their person or property” were occurring on a daily basis and increasing in frequency and severity to the point where the Porters “no longer felt they had the ability to live normal lives.”

Even more disturbing, Porter claims that until Krupp took a personal interest in this case in early 2003, his complaints were often not taken seriously by other Brandon police officers. Krupp, a 15-year veteran of the Brandon Police Department, shares that opinion. Her affidavit, which was the basis for the hate-crimes protection order obtained last month by the Vermont Attorney General’s Civil Rights Unit, summarizes more than 30 calls for assistance by the Porters to the Brandon Police between April 27, 2001, and December 24, 2003. Those complaints ranged in nature from minor scuffles between the two families’ children to the brandishing of deadly weapons and threats on the Porters’ lives.

Some of the threats against the Porters were captured on videotape. One of those tapes was shot by Leo Porter, another by the Martels. The Martels’ tape was seized in a July 2002 search of their home by the Vermont State Police in connection with an unrelated matter.

According to Krupp’s affidavit, that videotape contains incidents that occurred on several different days and shows David and Lisa Martel “while they threatened, harassed and terrorized the Porter family and guests.” But despite this evidence, no criminal charges were ever filed against Martel or anyone in his family until Krupp got involved.

Why? No one knows for sure. But it’s worth noting that on several occasions, Krupp recalls hearing her fellow officers make “unprofessional comments” about Leo Porter. It’s also worth noting that while tensions were escalating between the Porters and Martels, so were internal relations within the Brandon Police Department. Apparently, those problems were serious enough that in the summer and fall of 2003, four of the department’s seven officers resigned, including the police chief, as did the Brandon town manager.

No one has suggested that the alleged abuse suffered by the Porters caused most of the Brandon Police Department to resign. Reportedly, one officer had a career-ending injury and another was called away to National Guard service. But it raises an interesting question: If Porter’s claims about being ignored by the police are true, was that neglect related to the fact that the other alleged victim in this story is Krupp herself?

not-so-neighborly relations

It’s a warm September afternoon in the Porters’ ground floor Brandon apartment, but all the windows are closed. Leo Porter, who is short and heavyset, sinks into a chair at the kitchen table, takes a drag off a cigarette and exhales with a deep sigh. While he speaks, Porter nervously brushes aside the black curls that frame his round, boyish face. He moves slowly and his gentle, subdued voice sounds like he is easily winded — in other words, he’s an easy target for a bully.

Today, the apartment is quiet. Porter’s brother is still in class at Otter Valley Union High School just down the road, and his Uncle Edward is in another room with “Chops,” their poodle. Porter apologizes — Edward is too shy to talk to strangers or have his picture taken.

Porter says his family has never had problems with other neighbors. His landlord, Bryan Jones, has nothing but nice things to say about the Porter family. “They’ve been among the best tenants I’ve ever had,” says Jones. “Over the years, if I had put together a top 10 list, they’d be on it.”

The Martels moved to the neighborhood about a year after the Porters. For the next few years, the two families shared a common wall and covered porch — their front doors were less than 20 feet apart. “When we first moved in, a neighbor came over and welcomed us to the neighborhood, and we did the same when [the Martels] moved in,” Porter says.

“Everything seemed fine. And then one day, it changed.”

Looking back, Porter can’t recall one specific incident that triggered the conflict and he still doesn’t know why it persists. “We have no clue,” Porter says. ‘The only conclusion we can come to is that he [David Martel] assumed I was a homosexual.”

Krupp’s affidavit supports that conclusion. On or about Mother’s Day, 2001, she writes, Krupp had a conversation with Martel, during which “he continually referred to Mr. Porter as a ‘fucken [sic] faggot, queer, cocksucker and fucken [sic] queer bait.’”

“Mr. Martel made it clear to this officer [that] he did not approve of any alternative lifestyle and stated, ‘I won’t live next to any fucken [sic] fag and I’m not moving. He’s got to go, they all have to go,’” Krupp writes. Martel also made it clear to her that the ongoing problems between the two families “would be endless” and that the police would be returning to that location until the Porters moved out.

Throughout the summer of 2001, according to police records, the Porters made repeated calls for help to the Brandon Police. While responding to one of those calls, Krupp asked Martel what was causing these disputes.

“David Martel exploded, stating, ‘He’s a fucken [sic] homosexual, a faggot, and fucken [sic] queer…the mother has fucken [sic] AIDS and Eddies [sic] a fucken [sic] retard,’” her affidavit reads. “‘I’m not moving, they are. I’ll see to that, no matter what it takes.’”

On a recent afternoon, David Martel sits at a picnic table outside his apartment across the street from the Porters. He wears a sleeveless T-shirt and has a scraggly beard and several tattoos. The 42-year-old unemployed sheetrock worker says he’s had two heart attacks and just wants to be left alone so he and his wife Lisa can raise their two boys still living at home: Bryan, 16, and Tom, 13.

Martel claims that he and his family are the victims of a smear campaign by Porter and the Brandon police. “Since I’ve lived here, things ain’t right,” Martel says. “It’s a different world here in Brandon. The law is different. People are different. It’s all ugly, it’s all backwards, and it’s all lies.”

It wasn’t until I started this whole [investigation] that I realized how dangerous it had gotten.

I’m amazed that no one was seriously hurt.

I’m amazed no one was killed.

And he denies ever making homophobic or threatening remarks to the Porters.

“So, he’s called a faggot? So what? That’s his problem. That’s nothing I said. It’s all lies,” says Martel in a raspy voice. “I don’t hate anybody, what color you are or what preference you are. I have a lot of colored friends and I’ve got a lot of gay friends.”

Krupp’s affidavit paints a much different picture of Martel. It outlines allegations of hostile behavior directed at the Porters by the Martels, including bullying, harassment, vandalism, theft and stalking.

Some of the complaints didn’t rise to the level of criminal activity, such as one, lodged in March 2002, that the Martels’ children threw snowballs at the Porters’ front door and refused to stop. Other complaints charged that the Martels repeatedly played their stereo too loudly and deliberately pounded on the wall between the two apartments, breaking pictures in the living room where Irene Porter slept.

But some complaints were more serious, such as allegations that Martel and his children repeatedly tried to provoke

fights with Leo Porter. In one incident in 2003, Porter’s cousin David, who was visiting from Massachusetts, was allegedly chased down the street by David Martel.

David Porter suffered a bad asthma attack and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance.

The line between annoying behavior and disorderly conduct can be blurry. For example, the affidavit notes that the Porters told police they were receiving threatening phone calls from the Martels.

In April 2001, Edward Porter’s bicycle was allegedly taken by the Martels’ kids and

vandalized. Another time, dead baby birds were left on the Porters’ doorstep. In January 2002, David Martel, Sr., allegedly threatened to poison the Porters’ poodle with antifreeze. In June 2002, Leo Porter complained to police that the Martels’ kids, with the encouragement of their parents, were throwing rocks at his van. Later that summer, the Porters reported that the Martels were throwing bricks into the tree above their apartment, preventing them from leaving their home.

Of the dozens of incidents described in Krupp’s affidavit, some are clearly criminal in nature. On June 16, 2002, a guest to the Porters’ house, Kathleen McDonald, had her windshield smashed, causing more than $500 worth of damage. One of the Martels’ children was issued a citation for unlawful mischief. However, the affidavit also notes that the citation was “never sent >> 30A

to the State’s Attorney’s Office by the investigating officer for prosecution.”

Krupp doesn’t know why it wasn’t.

This pattern of abuse, says Porter, had a profound effect on his family’s daily lives. “Oh, we completely stopped living,” he says. “We covered our windows with blankets. Whenever we would drive our car to leave, we would have to check our brakes first because they threatened to cut our brake lines and loosen our lug nuts.

People stopped coming to our house because of it.”

To make matters worse, Porter claims that with the exception of Krupp, other Brandon police officers often didn’t take his complaints seriously, which only encouraged Martel to become more aggressive. Krupp’s affidavit notes, for example, that on April 6, 2002, Porter called the police after Martel allegedly threatened to enter his home and physically assault him. When an officer responded, Porter gave him a videotape of the incident.

According to a police transcript of that tape, Martel is heard saying, “You fat fuck. Stay off my property. And if you talk to my kids like that, I’m gonna kick your ass. I’ll throw a brick right through that window, you fat fuck.” Later, Martel says, “I’ll walk right in there and I’ll beat

the living shit out of you, got that, you faggot? I’m tired of your bullshit.” Yet despite this evidence, no criminal charges were ever filed.

On the same videotape, Martel blames Porter for his family being evicted from their apartment. Jones, who was also the Martels’ landlord, confirms that he evicted the family in part because they didn’t pay their rent, but also because of their ongoing conflict with the Porters.

“It’s not a good situation when it gets to the point where one of them has to go,” Jones says. “And it took me a couple of months to figure out which one.” The Martels subsequently moved into an apartment across the street from the Porters.

But the situation only got worse after that. On April 7, 2002, Brandon police responded to their second call in two days from the Porter household. This time, according to police records, Leo and Irene Porter asked Krupp to take possession of their handgun for safekeeping, fearing that their neighbor might break into their apartment and steal it. “It was at this time [that] Leo Porter and Irene Porter advised [me that] David Martel, Sr., had been getting more and more aggressive towards them, making comments towards them regarding a handgun in his (David

Martel, Sr.’s) possession,” Krupp writes.

There was no evidence that Martel had threatened the Porters with a gun — according to the affidavit, Martel denied owning one. However, on May 10, 2003, in an unrelated incident not involving the Porters, Martel was charged with reckless endangerment with a gun. The weapon confiscated in that case “resembled a .357 Magnum and also fit the description [that] Leo and Irene Porter described in prior incidents” with Martel.

But Porter says that, far from recognizing the escalating problem, the other Brandon police were largely indifferent — and sometimes even hostile — to his complaints. Worse, he says, they threatened him with criminal charges if he continued to “waste their time” with his persistent calls. As a result, Porter started asking specifically for Krupp, and if she wasn’t on duty, would leave her messages rather than speak with other officers.

Krupp learned later that she never received many of Porter’s messages.

“There was a period there where I had no contact with [the Porters] and I assumed everything was OK, when, in fact, their life was absolute hell,” Krupp recalls.

In the meantime, Porter says, the growing tensions with his neighbors

began taking their toll on his mother’s physical and emotional health. “She didn’t want to go to dialysis,” Porter says. “It was making her chest pains come more often. She was afraid she was going to come back home and one of us was going to be dead because of the Martels. And she expressed that concern to the police and got nowhere with it.”

It wasn’t until April 2003, while Krupp was conducting a routine review of the department’s statistics, that she recognized the seriousness of the situation. “I realized how many times officers were being dispatched to this location, and I was finding that little to nothing was being done,” Krupp says in a recent interview. “I started researching it more myself and realized, we’ve got a huge problem here.

Things are escalating to the point of being out of control.”

For example, Krupp’s affidavit describes one visit to the Porter household, during which she found Irene Porter sitting in her wheelchair, crying. “It was clear to this officer [that] Irene and Leo Porter lived their life in fear, daily, at the hands of David Martel, Sr.,” it reads. “Leo and Irene both described suffering from sleep deprivation, staying up all night to keep watch in fear [that] David Martel, Sr., would make good on his threat to break into their apartment and kill them in their beds, slicing them up with his machete, which he made visible to Leo and Irene on several occasions.”

Martel readily admits that he owns a machete and occasionally uses it to clear brush. But he denies that he ever threatened the Porters with a machete or gun. He describes himself as “an easygoing person” who doesn’t know how he became the target of Leo Porter’s “fantasies and lies.”

“He is not a fully grown adult, he’s a child. And this child, sooner or later, is going to be dragged into court for perjury,” Martel says. “And if he thinks I’m gonna sit here and let him get away with this, he’s wrong. He’s dead wrong.”

Once Krupp recognized a potentially deadly crisis unfolding, she approached her boss, Chief Craig Hanson, and asked for permission to investigate further. At first, she says, Hanson resisted the idea. “I don’t believe he felt it was a serious matter, and I did,” Krupp says. “When you start seeing calls where people are threatening you with a baseball bat and they’re driving their car onto your porch and threatening to come through your door, there’s a problem.”

Despite her chief ’s reluctance, Krupp began delving into the case on her own time. She soon discovered that Porter’s videotape, which included the threats made by the Martels, was missing from the evidence vault, as were several of Porter’s written statements. “Was it brought to the chief ’s attention? Yes,” Krupp claims. “Was anything done about it? No.” But Porter had kept a copy for himself and made Krupp a duplicate.

Hanson, who now works for the Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department, says he remembers some minor disputes between the Porters and the Martels, but never anything violent or dangerous. “On my watch, if there were serious incidents, we certainly would have investigated them,” Hanson says in a recent phone interview. “But there’s nothing that sticks out in my mind.” As for the allegation that evidence was lost or stolen from police custody, Hanson says this is the first he’s heard of it. He also notes that an inventory of the evidence vault when he left the Brandon P.D. showed nothing missing.

SEVEN DAYS | september 29-october 06, 2004 | feature 31A

Mike Boucher, a former Brandon police officer, recalls frequent problems between the Porters and Martels, but nothing serious occurring there; “Just back-and-forth stuff between neighbors.”

Similarly, Rutland State’s Attorney James Mongeon says he’s never heard a report of missing evidence from the Brandon Police Department. But with other charges pending against David Martel, Mongeon defers all other questions about the case to the Attorney General’s office.

Officer Mike Boucher, a former Brandon police officer, remembers going to the Porters’ house on a regular basis. “Yeah, there were a lot of calls,” Boucher says. “Basically, that’s where we went, every summer for the last three or four years.” But Boucher, now a school resource deputy at Otter Valley Union High School, doesn’t remember anything serious occurring there — “just back-andforth stuff between neighbors,” he says.

But Krupp believes it was far more serious than that. “It wasn’t until I started this whole [investigation] that I realized how dangerous it

had gotten,” she says. “I’m amazed that no one was seriously hurt. I’m amazed no one was killed.”

Krupp won’t speculate as to why her fellow officers didn’t pursue the Porters’ complaints more aggressively. She will say, however, that “comments were made [about Leo Porter] that shouldn’t have been made.” Were those comments homophobic in nature? “They were unprofessional comments,” she says.

And if the lines of communication within the Brandon P.D. weren’t working as well as they should have, perhaps it’s because Krupp, the department’s only female officer, had her own situation to deal with.

Essay

protect and serve?

It’s hard to imagine that Detective Sgt. Laurie Krupp is intimidated by much. Standing 6-foot-3 and built like a rugby player, the 42-year-old single woman has wavy brown hair, wire-rimmed glasses and a nononsense style. When questioned by a reporter, she exudes the natural skepticism of a cop and answers only the questions she’s asked, speaking in short, declarative sentences. She hasn’t gone looking for someone to tell her story to, but neither does she shy away from unpleasant questions when they’re asked. As she puts it, “I lie for no one.”

At about the same time that Krupp took an interest in the Porters’ situation, she says, working relations within the Brandon Police Department were deteriorating for her. “I came to work, did my job and went home. I didn’t talk much to anybody,” says Krupp. “The workplace was very uncomfortable and things got sexual.”

What does she mean by “sexual?” According to Krupp, her chief “pretended to masturbate in front of me and my [female] secretary and thought it was

funny,” she says. “He would expose his penis to us all the time. He would take off his clothes, take off his underwear, roll them in a ball and throw them at your head while you were typing on your computer or talking on the phone. He would walk up to my desk while I was talking on the phone, drop his pants and do a hootchie-kootchie dance.”

Krupp claims that this and other offensive behavior occurred “all the time.” But despite her repeated complaints to Hanson’s boss, then Town Manager Michael Balch, the problem was never addressed. Instead it was dismissed as “locker-room” horseplay. As a result, she claims, her fellow officers “made my life a living hell.”

In 2001, for example, the state’s attorney removed Krupp’s name from the state’s deathscene investigator list for supposedly botching the investigation of a felony car accident. In response, Krupp’s chief and town manager tried to demote her.

Krupp challenged her demotion through the union — and won.

In November 2002, arbiter Harvey Shrage ruled that Krupp had been wrongfully demoted and ordered her reinstated to her previous rank of sergeant. “It was a witch hunt,” Krupp says. “If I

sneezed the wrong way, they disciplined me.”

But Krupp says her work environment only got worse after that. She became depressed and withdrawn, had trouble sleeping and was afraid to go to work. She claims the police harassed some of her friends and a private detective staked out her home for two weeks. Fearing further reprisals, Krupp began carrying a running tape recorder at work.

When the situation didn’t improve, Krupp filed a lawsuit in October 2002 against Hanson, fellow police officer Michael O’Neill, the Brandon Police Department and the town, alleging nine counts of “inappropriate sexual behavior.”

In court papers, both of the officers and the town denied Krupp’s allegations, arguing that her own behavior had contributed to the hostile work environment. The case was settled out of court in the summer of 2003. Krupp received an undisclosed cash payment and was promoted to detective.

Currently, none of the other parties to the lawsuit is willing to speak about Krupp’s allegations. O’Neill is not with the Brandon Police Department anymore and could not be reached for comment. Former

SEVEN DAYS | september 29-october 06, 2004 | feature 33A

According to Krupp, her chief “pretended to masturbate in front of me… He would expose his penis to us all the time.”

Brandon Town Manager Michael Balch resigned in late 2003 and is now working as the town manager in Pittsford.

He had no comment for this story. Hanson would not comment on the harassment suit, either, except to say that he left the Brandon P.D. for a better job with the Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department.

Other former Brandon cops who might be able to confirm or deny Krupp’s description of her work environment, including Boucher (who left the department the same day Hanson did) and Francis Martin, also refused to comment on the sexual-harassment case. However, both say that they left the Brandon P.D. for better jobs elsewhere.

Of the seven police officers who worked at the Brandon P.D. at the beginning of 2003, only two remained at the end of the year. Brandon’s lawenforcement crisis was so acute that in September 2003, the town Select Board assembled an advisory committee to consider disbanding the Brandon Police Department altogether and contracting out the town’s law-enforcement services to the State Police and Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department.

The plan was later scuttled, following overwhelming community opposition.

“I’m the last one left standing,” says Krupp, who is now trying to rebuild the force.

Several months ago, Brandon hired a new police chief, Lonnie Hatman, from out of town — North Pole, Alaska, to be exact — and Krupp says her work environment has improved dramatically. But she remains bitter about what happened to her. “I don’t feel vindicated. Not at all,” she says.

“What happened to me was terrible. No female should have to go through this.”

Krupp has another frustration. Several months ago she learned that much of her work on the Martel case was in vain.

Many of the complaints cannot be prosecuted because they are several years old and their statute of limitations has expired. Others, she says, weren’t adequately investigated when they occurred. “When I was building that case, I worked on it seven days a

week. It was one month of solid investigation,” Krupp says. “And to find out that they wouldn’t prosecute it was just a killer… And it wasn’t through any fault of mine. It was the fault of the other officers I worked with.”

Martel, who currently faces two disorderly conduct charges involving Porter, calls Krupp’s dogged pursuit of him just another example of the “discrimination” he and his family have suffered at the hand of the Brandon P.D. During his recent interview, Martel points to a tattoo on his right arm — a snarling face. “Take a good look at that picture. Know what it means? That’s the feeling I have inside from the last three years of living here,” Martel says. “It’s a feeling of being trapped, of being in a box, trying to look out, trying to come out of it, trying to get away, trying to make things right. How come nobody’s listening? How come people ain’t looking? Why is this going on like this?”

If Krupp feels bad for anyone, she says, it’s Irene Porter, who died not knowing whether her sons would be safe. “Irene was a very, very nice woman, a very soft-spoken woman. She would have given you the shirt off her back in a pouring rainstorm,” Krupp says. “Nobody deserves what she went through. Nobody.”

Leo Porter doesn’t know what he’ll do next. Though he feels somewhat safer now that a hate-crimes prevention order forbids the Martels from having contact with him, the two families still live very close to one another. Porter also points out that one of the former Brandon police officers, Mike Boucher, now works at his brother’s school as the school resource officer. That job might sometimes involve handling students’ complaints about bullying and harassment.

Porter may also file a lawsuit. But he says it’s not money he’s looking for — just recognition that what happened to his family was real. “My mother gets no justice out of this now,” Porter says. “I just want people to know what we went through because of these officers. Now, they’re working at another place and this is going to happen to somebody else.” 쩾

<MUSIC>

Wilco Power Music preview: Wilco

A STORY

CASEY REA Wilco, Memorial Auditorium, Burlington, Thursday, September 30.

s the bass player for Wilco, John Stirratt propels the group’s tunes with an understated, melodic confidence.

He’s also one of the nicest guys you could hope to talk to. This Thursday at Memorial Auditorium, Wilco will play material from their new disc A Ghost Is Born — a potent collection of impassioned and confessional songs. Wilco’s original alt-country leanings have lately taken a backseat to guitar explorations and free-associative lyrical imagery, but fans seem to support the new direction — Wilco’s cerebral yet emotional work has earned them a devoted following.

In addition to his work with Wilco, Stirratt recently completed an Americana-tinged album with his twin sister Laurie. Called Arabella, it brings him back to his country and folk roots. Seven Days recently chatted with Stirratt on the phone from Texas, where Wilco was taping an episode of “Austin City Limits.”

SEVEN DAYS: Does it ever feel odd to see your own mug on the cover of national magazines?

JOHN STIRRATT: Yeah, it’s not something I’ve really gotten used to yet. It seems like from the time of the movie [Wilco documentary I Am Trying to

Break Your Heart] onward we lost that “faceless quality.” It’s weird to be defined by something that you didn’t really have much control over.

SD: You and Jeff Tweedy have been playing music together for a long time, and the Wilco lineup has evolved quite a bit over the years. What’s kept you involved for so long?

JS: Well, I definitely had a friendship with Jeff before the band, and I think that’s important. We see eye to eye on a lot of things about music, and the wonder of making records. But there’s no rules — there’s no map. It’s just a question of creating something that’s surprising and enjoyable no matter who’s in the band. Plus, there’s so much to work with.

SD: You come from a musical family — do you find playing music with your sister comes naturally?

JS: It really does! It’s a collaboration — I could find a lot of similarities between that and Wilco. I’m definitely into the synergist aspects of it. We were just so happy to be working together because we hadn’t in so long.

We knew these songs fit well together, so we just recruited our favorite musicians to help us out.

SD: Wilco’s touring schedule is pretty jam-packed. Why did you decide to squeeze a Vermont date in there?

JS: If you’re in the Northeast, it’s not so far away. It helps if you’re going to Montreál, of course. But I mean, we love Burlington and we always have a great time. I’m always putting my vote in to get there so I can go to Penny Cluse once and have some breakfast!

We love Vermont, especially in the fall.

SD: After the touring is completed, are you guys going to do the typical Wilco thing and jump right back into the studio?

JS: We have plans to record in winter or early spring — every recording has taken something from the last live incarnation of the band, and I think this next one will be no exception. We really want to capture what’s going on right now, and we all can’t wait.

SD: Do you find getting older informs your creativity? Is touring easier or more difficult than

when you were in your twenties?

JS: I have to diligently practice more, set aside time for it. It’s not like lounging around with a guitar in your hands all day anymore. But I’m better now, so it doesn’t take as long to get something together. As far as the road, I come home better rested from tours than when I’m home! I can just sleep on the bus so well. It’s embryonic — dark and humming. I’ve gotten much better at touring over the years, for sure. But it’s not like a van tour or anything. I credit anyone doing that!

SD: At this stage in your career it’d be easy to coast. Yet every album you make offers something new. How do you keep challenging yourself?

JS: Jeff has always been stubborn about not making the same record over again, but not in a contrary way. We just work on it until we feel it’s something fresh. I think our fans expect it. I think a little bit of pressure after Yankee Hotel was good. We knew that with the sheer amount of people listening to us, that some people weren’t going to dig it [the new direction]. That sort of sets you free, in a way. You can’t worry about the people you’ll disappoint, because there will be those people. m

soundbites

BY CASEY REA

DYNAMIC DUO

MEN AT WORK The town of Winooski is looking like a giant sandbox lately, but that hasn’t deterred Grand Design Music Company’s booking director Jeff Santoro from bringing quality local and national acts to downtown bar The Monkey House. The 22-year-old and his organization have broader ambitions than just booking clubs, however: They want to inject the Burlington-area music scene with a shot of adrenaline.

The guys at Grand Design want to assist local musicians in learning the ropes of booking, design and promotion. “When bands play at The Monkey House, they don’t just show up on the date and play — we try to help them,” claims Santoro. “I’ll say, here’s a media list, here’s how to get in the papers, how to get on WRUV.” CEO Jeff Landolfe, also 22, thinks Burlington is the perfect place to start a media empire. “I thought about doing it in New York City, where some of my family is,” he says, “But then I thought, Burlington, hmm… rent’s cheaper, traffic’s not as bad, there’s less competition between bands — it kind of progressed from there.”

Store This in a Cool, Dark Place is a local music compilation Grand Design Music Company will release October 1. It features tracks from well-known acts as well as a handful of newcomers: Road dogs Raq and the Jennifer Hartswick Band rub elbows with upstarts 2nd Agenda and Dubnotix. If you’re looking for an “urban” fix, college faves Manifest Nexto Me and Voice should do the trick. A two-story CD release party is this Friday at Nectar’s and Club Metronome.

The shindig also offers exhibitions from three local artists — one of whom designed the Store This cover.

Local compilations are nothing new — remember the seemingly endless series of Good Citizen and Big Heavy World releases from the ’90s? These guys know that one comp isn’t going to change the world, but it might aid local artists.

Grand Design’s projects are ambitious but realistic; production assistant Eric Werlin says they just wanted to collect their favorite local acts on one disc and share them with the community. “We wanted to make sure we had one goodsounding album that goes together,” he says. “And it does.”

Paul Asbell and Chip Wilson have been friends and musical accomplices for quite some time.

Asbell, a guitar virtuoso known for his work with Kilimanjaro and the Unknown Blues Band, is also an instructor to the stars — Trey Anastasio was once a student. Steel String Americana is Asbell’s latest CD, featuring the guitarist’s dexterous playing, unplugged.

Singer-songwriter Chip Wilson studied with Asbell before beginning a musical journey that’s led him to the roots of American music. After 20 years of crafting guitars and performing in Vermont, Wilson headed to New Orleans, where he’s lived and played for the last decade. Working 40 gigs per month, he absorbed the flavor and fire of Louisiana’s musical traditions; his latest release, Mostly Blue, is filled with originals inspired by Southern pickers.

For his first Green Mountain gig in three years, Wilson has teamed up with his old pal and teacher. This Thursday’s show at Vermont Pub & Brewery promises an evening of blues and New Orleans favorites as well as material from each of their latest discs. Fans of acoustic Americana will find plenty on the musical menu, but get there early — the show starts at 4 p.m.

NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND DJ A-Dog is known for his laid-back way with wax; if you go clubbing in Burlington, chances are you’ve heard his sets. Starting this Monday, A-Dog and fellow hip-hopper Nastee begin a residency at Club Metronome that will showcase another side of the duo. The recurring gig is called ’93 Till, and will specialize in old-school and underground cuts. “It won’t be mainstream,” A-Dog promises. “The weekends are flooded with people looking for ’80s music and hits, but Monday will be a good night to come out for this.” The recurring event will also feature special guest MCs from the local “urban” music crowd — voices not often heard in area clubs. Sponsored by Scion, a branch of Toyota, the shows will be free. If all goes well, Metronome will expand the event, bringing in national hip-hop acts and incorporating silent films and a rotating art show into the mix.

A-Dog recently returned from New York City, where he deejayed a party for clothing company Gravis; apparently he helped the company design a bag for wax hounds to lug their records in. There’s something he knows a thing or two about.

Mmmmm...

CORPORATE TAKEOVER! ’Tis the season for political activism, and with only five weeks to go in the most intense national election in recent memory, things are really heating up. Tired of talking until they’re blue in the face about the current administration’s misadventures, Billionaires for Bush have taken a different tack in exposing neocon follies. The Brooklyn-based organization is exposing Bush’s misdeeds with the tried-and-true bullhorn of satire. The Billionaires call themselves “a grassroots network of corporate lobbyists, decadent heiresses, Halliburton CEOs and other winners under George W. Bush’s economic policies.” Sounds like a pretty heavy crew. Organizers claim their message is “spreading faster than an oil slick in virgin waters.” So where do Vermonters fit in?

Well, although our state is undeniably “blue,” the Billionaires consider New Hampshire up for grabs, and they plan to buy it. In order to raise more capital, they’re throwing a “benefit” show this Tuesday at Club Metronome. In addition to a puppet show, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Brett Hughes and Pirates of Jugtown will provide live tunes. And you thought musicians were all liberals.

reviewthis VARIOUS ARTISTS, HEART SO COLD: THE NORTH COUNTRY ’60s SCENE

RACHEL BISSEX, IN WHITE LIGHT

(Bacchus Archives, CD)

(One Take Music, CD)

Burlington’s Rachel Bissex, a refreshing voice amongst the recent onslaught of trendy female singer-songwriters, has resurfaced with her latest album, In White Light. Known for her stark honesty, this offering is no different, from the unapologetic close-up of Bissex on the cover to the startlingly personal anecdotes in the liner notes and the songs themselves.

Her voice is somewhat reminiscent of pop singers Poe and dido, yet Bissex defies comparison. Her vocals have a fluid, almost effortless confidence; her strength and enjoyment of music-making come across.

Although Bissex has recorded five albums since 1991, her keen observational skills ensure that she’s not running short on material. Perhaps what most defines In White Light is its sincerity in voicing the contentment found in ordinary aspects of life.

A prime example of this is “Last Blast of Winter,” a tale familiar to anyone who’s navigated a snowy New England road. The lyrics convey urgency; feisty guitar contrasts with the bass, then the song concludes with a surge of relief from overcoming nature’s latest challenge.

Another standout track is “Dancing With My Mother,” featuring the voice of Bissex’s daughter Emma, who also contributed violin to this CD. Though it was recorded in 1995, before Bissex’s recent battle with cancer, the song exemplifies the overall theme of the disc, which is celebrating life. Uplifting and hopeful, it’s inclusion as the closer on this disc was a thoughtful choice; the child’s voice is a bright spot amidst the darker imagery throughout the album.

The downside to In White Light is that Bissex errs on the side of giving away too much. The lyrics are predictable even on first listen, which, although comforting in a way, frees the listener from any obligation.

There’s little room for interpretation; even the liner notes explain the inspiration behind every song. The music is pleasant but not more. Although Bissex’s storytelling skills are strong, she misses the opportunity to make a deeper emotional connection with her listeners.

CHERISE LAPINE

Forty years ago, our backyard was home to one of the first and most vital scenes in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. The bands that existed on both sides of Lake Champlain in the early ’60s were not only professional — they were deadly cool. A skate rink in Plattsburgh called Rollerland functioned as ground zero for live shows, while the city’s Empire Records pressed local 45s. Northfield, Vermont’s Mike & the Ravens and Plattsburgh’s The Thunderbolts were the scene’s heavy hitters, but other groups such as Malone, New York’s The Falcons thrilled the kids with surf-infused proto-garage rock.

Fast forward to 2004. The folks at boutique label Bacchus Archives have unearthed a chunk of the era’s choicest cuts; each track is a testament to the originality and power of the region’s forgotten stars. From full-on burners to Buddy Holly style ballads, every song on Heart So Cold is early rock gold.

The disc kicks off with a rollicking live track by “Wild” Bill Kennedy and the Twiliters called “(Everybody’s Goin’ To) Rollerland.” A paean to the scene, the song positively bristles with electric energy — even four decades later.

The melody’s infectious, the drumming aggressive, and the guitars edgy and hip. Almost punky enough to be a Misfits song, “Rollerland” perfectly illustrates what was once the most rebellious fun in the world.

Mike & The Ravens were such a killer act that it’s tragic they didn’t become celebrities. Unlike most groups in the pre-Beatles era, they wrote all of their own material, and it’s ace stuff. Mike Brassard’s confident vocals combined youthful romanticism with tough-guy charm, and teenage guitarist Stephen Blodgett had some of the hottest riffs around. The Thunderbolts sound is much mellower, with tight harmonies and chiming guitars anticipating later work by The Byrds and The Beach Boys.

Even surf guitar legend Dick Dale would be impressed by The Fugitives; the group made its own waves in the chilly North Country. Their track serves up spidery twang and a bassline reminiscent of the Peter Gunn theme. The Falcons were pioneers in the use of fuzz guitar; the cut “I Gotta See Her” makes The Troggs sound tame.

Heart So Cold is probably as close as we’ll ever get to reliving rock’s glory days, unless someone invents a time machine. This terrific compilation conjures images of hoop skirts and bobby-socks, ducktails and flattops; close your eyes and it’s almost as if you were there.

OPENINGS

Vermont Pure

T EXHIBIT “Quintessential Vermont,” a group show featuring regional artists in pottery, furniture, photographs and paintings, Frog Hollow Gallery, Burlington.

Through October.

ARTWORK Untitled painting by Robert Huntoon

PHOTO Marc Awodey

o medieval philosophers there were five elements in God’s creation: fire, water, earth, air and a concentrated form of heavenliness known as “quintessence.” An exhibition entitled “Quintessential Vermont” at Frog Hollow Gallery’s Burlington outlet presents the works of two potters, a painter, two photographers and a furniture maker, all based in the Green Mountain State. It’s unlikely that Frog Hollow was directly referencing medieval cosmology in their show’s title, but all five elements are at least loosely represented.

The ceramists work with two of them — fire and earth.

Like many contemporary American potters, Evan Williams is influenced by Japanese forms. A sake flask, long-necked vase, lidded jars and delicate bowls are among the pieces he is showing. They are decorated simply in smoky browns, baize and occasionally white. Some of his lidded jars have an abstracted acorn form.

The ceramics of Miranda Thomas are more European in both type and decorative design. She makes extensive use of an incised slip decoration technique called sgraffito to create intertwined floral motifs on platters, vases and large jars.

Thomas often employs monochromatic umber tonalities with either light values over dark backgrounds or vice versa.

Other pieces appear to be white porcelain, with blue and green hand-painted, Delft-like decorations. With elegant brushwork and design acumen, Thomas produces work of uncommonly fine quality.

The other artists in the show are furniture maker Robert Gasperetti, photographers Richard Brown and Wayne Nobushi T. Fuji’I, and painter Robert Huntoon. Huntoon is a well-known Vermont painting instructor who has taught at the Shelburne Craft School and the Community College of Vermont, among other places. He’s a versatile oil painter who creates ethereal landscapes that seem to unify the elements of air and water.

Huntoon’s pieces have no titles in this show, but a group of sunset scenes is particularly intriguing. His details are almost photorealistic; the hues are heightened, and a consistent chromatic intensity across each canvas gives them a velvety quality. In several of the lake scenes, trees are dark silhouettes against alizarin skies of lighter value.

The photographs by Fuji’I include selections from his “Sylvan Texture” series of wooded landscapes. Fuji’I has focused on early spring forests with budding leaves and sparse, lacy vegetation. “Sylvan Texture #68” also has a beautiful harmony of mint-green hues in the foreground

Huntoon is a versatile oil painter who creates ethereal landscapes that seem to unify the elements of air and water. and mauve light filtering through pale branches deeper in the wood. Among his other pieces are winter scenes with similarly foliated trees.

Brown’s photography is closer to Vermont-postcard style.

In one of the shots, for example, two sheep graze next to a stone wall beneath orange autumnal leaves. A more memorable image shows an old man in a gray flannel shirt holding a white rabbit. He inhabits a black square of negative space, as he looks out of the top half of a whitewashed, weathered barn door.

Gasperetti’s display of beautifully crafted furniture includes a vertical, seven-drawer lingerie chest. The faces of the drawers are nicely figured bird’s-eye maple; the top, sides and knobs are ruddy cherry. There is also a coffee table with an Adirondack feel, made of splayed yellow birch with naturally irregular edges. Color and finish are among Gasperetti’s chief concerns. In his artist’s statement the Danby craftsman describes his influences specifically as “Shaker, Mission and Arts & Craft furniture,” but he’s not simply aping earlier styles.

Webster’s defines “quintessential” as: “Of the nature of a quintessence; purest.” “Quintessential Vermont” is, accordingly, a show of purely Vermont products, with a little of that medieval fifth element thrown in for good measure. m

<letters> SCHOOL’S OUT I urge voters to reject the Regional Technical Academy construction proposal and direct the RTA Board to develop a comprehensive plan for a true four-year technical academy.

I am a teacher at the Center for Technology, Essex (CTE), and for the past few years have been very excited about creating a new fouryear technical academy in Chittenden County. Vermont, unlike most states, currently limits technical education to one or two years. It was my fervent hope that the RTA could break the glass ceiling now handicapping technical education in this state by creating a complete school offering academic, athletic and artistic opportunities that we expect any quality high school to provide.

The scaled-back RTA proposal simply removes the technical programs now in place at Burlington and Essex high schools and relocates them in an abandoned warehouse in the middle of an industrial park. It’s a location that literally and figuratively puts tech-ed students in a box — out of sight and out of mind. This proposal does not improve technical education in Vermont, nor does it offer hope for future improvement.

Vote no on the current RTA proposal and keep the dream alive for tech-ed students.

afford to hear Bush’s sunny spin on Iraq. It’s time to get the facts. In July, the CIA completed a comprehensive report on Iraq. President Bush should release the CIA’s report immediately — with any secret information removed — as Bush’s fellow Republican John McCain and others have urged.

Our soldiers’ lives are on the line. Our sons and daughters will continue to die as long as we are in Iraq. For their sake, we need to know all the facts and assess them honestly.

HELP! Jernigan: A number of years ago, in New York City, I was with a former girlfriend at a subway stop.

While buying tokens, we were interrupted by a woman who had come up from the platform. “Call the police,” she said to the attendant, in an almost matter-of-fact tone, “there’s someone down there beating up a woman.” My first instinct was to get down to the platform and intervene in whatever way possible, but my companion saw what I had in mind, and said, “No, it’s not safe. Let the police handle it.” Although I do not know what eventually happened, to this day I regret not getting involved.

Your column [“Hackie,” September 15] about the young woman Janice brought this memory sharply back to me. Your columns show that your insight

regarding people is much more highly developed than mine. Next time, I encourage you to please follow your instincts. Provide a warning. Intervene if the situation doesn’t feel right. Let’s all dare to make caring for others in trouble acceptable, even expected, instead of the struggle it seems to be (even still for me).

LAWLESS APPROACH So now Vermont’s Democratic Party has officially nominated for governor one who has openly advocated breaking the law if it will save money (i.e., if it is in one’s self-interest). Peter Clavelle advocates importing prescription drugs from Canada. The people of Vermont have a right to know, therefore, how this candidate can reasonably be expected to uphold the laws of our state if he is elected its chief executive. Would he feel justified to break the law if that were necessary to ensure his election as governor?

The psychologist will tell you that if officials encourage people to ignore the law in small ways, they will soon be ignoring it in larger ways as well. As the saying goes, “Everyone knows that; everyone, that is, but Peter.” The criminal psychologists ought to be pulling their hair out over this one; or maybe it’s Peter’s hair they’ve been pulling out.

The Forgotten ★★

J WALL TREATMENT An impromptu makeover leads to a discovery that might have been startling if we hadn’t already seen it in the trailer and TV ads a hundred times.

oseph Ruben’s latest thriller certainly is a thought-provoking piece of work. It got me thinking about how Hollywood types can’t seem to stop themselves from running every new trend and gimmick into the ground. I’m not sure which I’m more tired of: movies about memory loss or movies constructed around big surprise endings.

In pictures like Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Bourne series, central characters are faced with problems brought on by their forgetfulness. Working from a script by Gerald Di Pego, Ruben (The Stepfather) flips the formula. In The Forgotten, Julianne Moore plays a mother in her 14th month of grieving the loss of her 8year-old son who died in a plane crash. Things go from bad to weird for the woman when everyone from her shrink (Gary Sinise) to her husband (Anthony Edwards) begins to maintain that the boy never existed.

The film achieves bona fide creepiness in its early innings as the child’s image vanishes from photographs and Moore is shocked to find that close friends have no recollection of her child. Slowly but surely, everyone she knows seems to forget everything about this one slice of her life.

Is she losing her mind? “Paramnesia” is the diagnosis of her psychiatrist. He explains that, in rare cases, people respond to traumatic events by inventing alternative lives complete with imaginary friends, families and children. Sinise and Edwards assure her that this is the nature of her delusion and the death of a newborn was the tragedy that triggered it.

She’s this close to believing them when she bumps into the father of a little girl who perished in the same crash she supposedly imagined. Consistent with the paramnesia explanation, the fellow — an ex-hockey pro played by Dominic West — claims he never had a daughter. Imagine his surprise, then, when Moore pops by his apartment, peeks into the room he uses as an office, notices a hole in the wall fabric, rips it all off and reveals what indisputably was once upon a time the room of a young child.

It takes him a while, but West eventually regains his memory of the child. This is about the time mysterious government agents enter the picture and commence chasing the two all over town. For an Academy Award-winning actress, Julianne Moore sure spends a lot of time running down streets and alleys in this movie. Here again, the film

got me to thinking. I wondered whether her preparation for the role included work with a track coach. Or maybe repeated viewings of Seabiscuit.

The middle of the movie has little to offer other than ample opportunity to visit the restroom or the concession counter. You could hit both, and make a few calls on the lobby payphone, without missing much besides Moore and West being chased.

An hour or so into the 89-minute film, a mind-boggling thought occurs to the pair. What if their kids are still alive?

Who or what could possibly pull off such a conspiracy, causing the disappearance of some children and erasing all trace that they had ever led young lives? And why would anyone want to do such a thing?

Cue the big surprise. Only it’s neither big nor surprising. It’s precisely what you think it’s going to be but hope the movie’s creators won’t stoop to. But stoop they do, and the result is a final act as lacking in logic and originality as it is in shock value. Movie-critic law forbids me saying more about the ending, of course, except that M. Night Shyamalan is probably sitting in front of his PC right this minute deleting the last few pages of his next lame script.

What I can do is warn you that the same lack of logic pervades many of the film’s preceding scenes. If you bother to see The Forgotten, ask yourself these questions afterwards: Given who’s behind the conspiracy, isn’t it a tad unlikely such a poor wallpapering job would’ve been done on the missing girl’s room? With so many people getting sucked up into the sky when they threaten the success of the conspiracy, why isn’t West sucked up the minute he remembers his daughter? How does Moore know her sidekick didn’t drink before his little girl disappeared? They were casual acquaintances at most. And, finally, just what were those mysterious government agents going to do with West and Moore if they ever did catch them? Given what we ultimately learn, their presence in the story is superfluous, to put it kindly. Dopey, derivative and a big fat waste of time is really more like it.

There’s no excuse for a big-budget Hollywood production having as many holes and loose ends as this one does.

Come to think of it, there’s no excuse for a big-budget Hollywood production like this one at all. m

A DIRTY SHAME★★1/2 Tracey Ullman and Chris Isaak are teamed in the new film from John Waters, an NC-17-rated romp about a blue-collar neighborhood overrun by out-ofcontrol sex addicts. With Johnny Knoxville.

(86 min, NC-17) A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD★★★ Michael Mayer makes his feature debut with this adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer-winning novel about a one-of-a-kind love triangle. Starring Colin Farrell, Dallas Roberts and Robin Wright Penn. (120 min, R) ANACONDAS: THE HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID★★ It’s official: Hollywood will make a sequel of anything at this point. For example, this follow-up to the 1997 flop about a giant jungle snake. This time around, a party in search of a miracle aging cure encounters, you guessed it, multiple giant jungle snakes. With Johnny Messner and Morris Chestnut. (89 min, R) CELLULAR★★1/2 From the guy who gave us Phone Booth comes the similar-sounding saga of a fellow who answers his cell phone one day to find on the line a stranger who says she’ll be killed if he doesn’t locate her quickly. Kim Basinger and William H. Macy costar. David Ellis directs. (94 min, PG-13) COLLATERAL★★★1/2 If there’s one thing Michael Mann knows, it’s bad guys. He’s the director who introduced us to Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox in Manhunter).

Tom Cruise probably won’t be dining on his victims in the director’s latest, but he’ll be racking them up as a contract killer on the town for a night of paid mayhem. With Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. (120 min, R) DODGEBALL★★1/2 On the heels of Along Came Polly, Starsky and Hutch and Envy, along comes Ben Stiller’s comic saga about a team of losers who try to save their local gym from being bulldozed and replaced by a modern sports-and-fitness palace. Naturally, the issue winds up getting resolved by an all-or-nothing round of dodgeball. Vince Vaughn and Justin Long costar. First-timer Rawson Marshall Thurber writes and directs.

(90 min, PG-13) FAHRENHEIT 9/11★★★1/2 The new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore is sure to rank among the year’s most controversial and provocative. The filmmaker offers a searing examination of the Bush administration’s actions in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. (110 min, R) FESTIVAL EXPRESS★★★★ Janis Joplin, The Band and The Grateful Dead are among the acts immortalized in this documentary about a week in the summer of 1970 when some of the biggest names in music traveled by train across Canada together. (90 min, R) FIRST DAUGHTER★ 1/2 In this comedy from Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes plays a college freshman who just wants to be part of the gang but finds that’s easier said than done since she’s the president’s daughter.

SEVEN DAYS JOHN O’BRIEN WITH GEORGE LYFORD ON THE SET OF NOSEY PARKER

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Man With a Planet

Films about ecology tend to be dreadfully earnest.

I want irreverence.

to “leave lighter footprints” in their town.

The combined public-private Sharon Academy will provide additional cast members; high school students and their parents will be tapped to play themselves. In yet another career, O’Brien coaches debate and leads a writing lab there. He expects the production to unfold over the course of a year in an open-ended process.

“I have no artificial plot in mind.

Whatever happens, happens. But it has to be funny. Films about ecology tend to be dreadfully earnest. I want irreverence,” O’Brien suggests, adding that The Green Movie idea may be unique. “This is something I haven’t really seen before. I think there’s no real prototype out there. It’s a not-forprofit, educational effort. We can go after contributions rather than investments, and apply for grants.”

Meanwhile, O’Brien, who has served as JP off and on since 1994, is busy launching wedded bliss for the multitudes. In August his pairing of two prominent people even made it into the “Vows” column of The New York Times. Some other matrimonial ventures are a bit more idiosyncratic.

“I’m doing a medieval-themed wed-

ding tomorrow,” O’Brien says. “It’ll probably involve accountants dressed as jousters and archers, maybe with lots of mead and ax-throwing. But I guess I won’t have to wear chain mail.”

Michael Wisniewski of Hinesburg is just back with five pals from his annual pilgrimage to the Toronto International Film Festival. One evening, the guys in their group crashed the “Ladies Night” spectacle at a crowded male strip joint.

“We pretended we were part of John Waters’ entourage and waltzed right in,” Wisniewski writes, referring to the openly gay director of A Dirty Shame — now playing at the Roxy in Burlington.

In a blur of well-endowed anatomies, men clad only in underpants offered lap dances. “John Waters acquiesced,” reports Wisniewski, an architect whose firm is located in Burlington. “The next day, between films, I bought four pairs of shoes in a kind of metrosexual frenzy.”

The Burlington architect suggests that a more pleasing nocturnal adventure, in Canada or anywhere else, would involve crossing paths with actress Naomi Watts. m

fickle fannie

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

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

Willy the Werewolf suffers a monthly TRANSFORMATION. When things get foul, it’s time to REDIAPER Little Debbie.

Ben wants to SWITCH his major from math to taxidermy.

After Muffy’s accident, Jill had to REPLACE the sheets.

You can’t ALTER the rules in the middle of the game.

Binky horded COINS for vending machines and parking meters.

The EXPERIENCE OF MENOPAUSE can give a woman pause.

Eva plans to TRADE apartments with her Parisian pal Nicole.

After six years in this town, I’m ready for SOMETHING NEW. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS POI. 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.

The couple’s honeymoon, with O’Brien along for the ride, consisted of a brief trip to the New Hampshire home of a famously reclusive writer.

“We looked at J.D. Salinger’s house and took photos of his mailbox,” Peary admits. “I can’t imagine a more perfect way to begin a marriage.”

Not all newlyweds celebrate as cheerfully. Last weekend, O’Brien tied the knot for a member of the National Guard who will soon head to Iraq. On Valentine’s Day, the groom was a Marine also bound for FILMMAKER JOHN O’BRIEN, the Persian Gulf; a few months later, ON THE GREEN MOVIE he was wounded.

Despite his active JP role, O’Brien He first met O’Brien — best remains unhitched. In July 2001, People magazine named him one of known for a trilogy of “anthropological comedies,” including 1998’s Man America’s top 50 bachelors.

This winter, he presided over the quirky union of fellow cineastes from Massachusetts: indie producer Amy Geller and Gerald Peary, a critic for the Boston Phoenix who’s also a professor at Suffolk University.

“It was Leap Day, February 29,” Peary explains, “But, more importantly, it was the date of the Oscars.”

INDIE MOVEMENT When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done well it may seem effortless, but Indian classical dance includes hundreds of codified gestures for hands, feet and face. The Dance Ballet of India invests these movements with spiritual meaning in Gajamukha, a story-ballet recounting the legend of an elephant-faced Hindu deity.

Troupe director and choreographer Jayanthi Raman researched religious texts for the richly costumed production, and the work includes not just one but three different dance styles from southern India â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the graceful bharathanatyam, the flamboyant kuchipudi and the lyrical mohini attam. Accompanied by an original score with chants in Sanskrit and Tamil, Raman and her six dancers deliver divine theater with bells on.

DANCE BALLET OF INDIA Friday, October 1, Flynn Center MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $22-28. Info, 863-5966.

scene@HOWARD DEAN BOOK SIGNING BORDERS BOOKS & MUSIC, BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2 P.M.

He won’t be on the ballot in November, but former Vermont governor Howard Dean can still draw a crowd. Dean’s been stumping for Democratic candidates for months, but now that he’s released his second book, You Have the Power, he’ll be adding promotional book signings to his schedule.

An hour before he arrived at Borders on Church Street, 15 people had already claimed seats. University of Vermont freshman Michelle Polk, an 18-year-old Chicago native, was one of the early arrivals. Polk tapped her foot anxiously as she waited. She had attended Dean Meetups during the campaign and now volunteers for Kerry-Edwards. “I never actually saw Dean speak before, and I thought it would be wonderful to see him in person,” Polk said.

Roughly 200 people packed the aisles to see the former candidate. Of course, that’s a relatively small number compared to the 5000 who flocked to Church Street for his campaign announcement, but so it goes. Like an aging ’80s hair band, Dean soldiers on.

And his fans are grateful. Dean spoke for barely 10 minutes before his listeners lined up for the book signing. One by one they thanked him for running for president, and for speaking his mind, which he apparently feels even freer to do now that he’s not running for office. In his talk, Dean needled the media, noting that he got to settle the score with some reporters in his book. “Chapter Five is a lot of fun,” he quipped gleefully.

He returned to that theme when an autograph-seeker mentioned a reporter friend who had interviewed Dean for the Hartford Courant. Dean said she seemed nice, then added, “They’re all nice until you see what they write.” Jeez — what did the media ever do to him?

Mostly, though, Dean talked about the importance of booting Bush from office and helping elect Kerry. But Christina Moore of Burlington wasn’t ready to abandon hope for a Dean presidency. She brought a Dean campaign poster, which he signed. As she walked away, she called out to him. “I hope to use this again another year.”

LOVELY RITA Mention the topic of teacherstudent affairs and you’re likely to receive a strong reaction. The Valley Players’ production of a dramatic comedy by Willy Russell takes a closer look at what happens when the love of learning inspires extra-curricular activities.

The play is set in Northern England, where a disillusioned middle-aged university lecturer is driven to drink until a smart, forthright 26-year-old hairdresser asks him to help her with her homework. Tutoring Rita means answering her honest challenges to secondhand scholarly opinions. The solutions they come up with mean unexpected growth for both of them.

WOOLWORTH’S A little over 100 years ago, many more sheep than cows dotted Vermont’s hillsides.

Hearkening back to the days when every brook and stream supported a woolen mill, craftspeople from around New England flock to Vermont’s premier naturalfiber event to compete and trade yarns. Various breeds of sheep, goats and angora rabbits peek at passersby going for gourmet cheeses. Demonstrations of weaving, knitting and other crafts compel festival-goers to think of winter sweaters. If you’ve ever wanted to see a sheep-shearing, or try spinning wool yourself, this is the place to go — just be sure to keep your distance when admiring the llamas.

They spit.

LOLA

the the love love counselor counselor

Dear Lola, My girlfriend and I didn’t have any problems until we moved in together.

I’m a pick-up-as-you-go, laundry-once-a-week, put-away-the-dishes sort of guy, and she’s a leave-it-where-it-drops, laundry-once-a-month, let-thedishes-pile-up sort of gal. When I pick up after her she feels accused and I feel resentful, and when I let her stuff lie around, I also feel resentful.

She claims that she’s a lot tidier than she’d be if she were still on her own, and I know that I’m putting up with much more mess than I’d like.

Bottom line: constant background tension. Does it have to be this way?

Annoyed in Addison Dear Annoyed, Great dating doesn’t automatically translate into successful shacking up.

You don’t have to be an Oscar-and-Felix couple for underlying frustrations unrelated to housekeeping to surface as arguments over dirty dishes. Talk is key but it can be tricky, especially if you’re intent on assigning blame.

Try establishing some practical rules — such as demarcating private spaces you can each keep according to your own standards, and public areas in which you compromise. You might also want to keep in mind why you’re co-habiting in the first place, and whether it’s worth it.

free will astrology RE AL We have all been guilty of desiring people and things that turned out to be no good for us. Whenever I review the history of my own relationship with longing, I’m embarrassed about some of the dumb “pleasures” I once craved. I’ve also noticed, though, that sometimes the only cure for wanting ill-advised thrills is to actually get them. The suffering that ensues can be an excellent prod to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future. I bring this up, Aries, because it’ll be important for you to keep in mind during the next six weeks. You will have to be quite discriminating about your desires. If you’re careful, you can refrain from fulfilling the wrong ones.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In the French village of Lourdes is a spring whose waters are reputed to have miraculous powers of healing. For 150 years, sick and despondent pilgrims from all over the world have traveled there seeking relief. To get to the sacred sanctuary, ironically, seekers must make their way through streets filled with cheesy souvenir shops and tourist traps. And the restaurants in Lourdes are among the worst in all of France. This scenario may be a bit like your life in the coming days, Taurus.

In your search for healing and purity, you’ll probably have to weave your way through a mini-wasteland.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): This is Walk Your Talk Week for you Geminis. More than any other time this year, you will have everything going for you when you concentrate on translating your highest ideals into practical actions. Live up to your hype,

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

you beautiful dreamer. Fulfill your promises. Call on all your ingenuity to create effects that are in harmony with your intentions. You are now capable of being as free of hypocrisy as it’s possible for a human being to be.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): These days it’s rare to hear music that’s not channeled through machines.

When is the last time you enjoyed beautiful singing unenhanced by a microphone or the technology of a recording studio? But I say unto you, my dear Cancerian, that it’s now crucial for you to listen to the naked human voice raised in song. Don’t stop there, either. Your soul craves all kinds of raw, unfiltered contact with the world — firsthand information that hasn’t been translated or interpreted before it reaches you. So try divesting yourself of the opinions you’ve borrowed from “experts.” Look for guidance from the experiences you actually have, not from stories, gossip and news gleaned from secondhand sources.

Make love with a real person, not with the fantasies implanted in your imagination by the entertainment industry.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During the day, the sky is filled with as many stars as it is at night, but the sun so thoroughly monopolizes our attention that we can’t see them. I believe this is an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your personal life, Leo. Some dominant force keeps you from becoming aware of less spectacular but still important influences. Soon, though, that dominant force will go on sabbatical. You’ll be able to gaze upon sights that its presence normally obscures.

Your understanding of the world will

Soulstice

naturally change forever, and though that may be shocking at first, in the long run it will be invigorating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “In countries where large percentages of the population believe in hell, there seems to be less corruption and a higher standard of living,” concluded a study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. My translation: Many people are motivated to do the right thing out of primal dread. I bring this up, Virgo, because it is critical for you to wean yourself of any attraction you might have to letting fear serve as a central motivator. I’m happy to report that in the coming months, you will have an unprecedented opportunity to retrain yourself to do just that. By September 2005, your quest for success and goodness could very well be inspired primarily by your love of life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The cosmos is finally ready to discharge you from your heavy, dark assignments. Your main duty in the coming weeks is to seek relief and release in the most constructive ways possible. Celebrate, Libra, don’t thrash. Rejoice and look to the future, don’t thunder against the ordeal you’ve completed. I nominate the exuberant Libran poet Michael McClure to be your role model during this time. The poet Aaron Shurin has described McClure as a reveler who “puts the attitude in beatitude,” and as an alchemist who’s “fluent in two languages, English and Beast.”

That’s exactly what you should be like as you lift your own spirits. Now please read aloud this paraphrase of a McClure poem: “GRAHHRR! RAHHR! RAHRIRAHHR! HRAHR! I’m not sugar, I’m love looking for sugar!”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What’s dying within you, Scorpio? Is it a passion that has expired? A dream gone to seed? A goal you neglected for so long that it can’t be resuscitated? If it’s time for that part of you to die, help it die. I mean, create a ritual in which you formally complete your relationship with it, let go of it for good and begin the grieving process. In honor of its passing, write a testimonial or draw a symbolic picture, then bury that remembrance in the earth near a tree you love. When you’re done with the funeral, eat the freshest, juiciest pear you can find.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If you plant a crocus bulb, it won’t grow into a grapevine,” my teacher Ann Davies used to say.

“You can’t learn to play the violin by practicing the piano.” I hope you’ve had some version of this wisdom lighting up the back of your mind these past 11 months, Sagittarius. Soon you will harvest the fruits of the seeds you planted around your last birthday, and you will leap to a new level of mastery in whatever skill or trick or habit you’ve been faithfully plying for the past 11 months.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): In portentous tones, as if exposing yet another sickening deterioration of our collective health, the Centers for Disease Control recently informed us that the average person is “sad, blue or depressed” about three days a month. As I read various news articles reporting the results of the CDC’s survey, I looked in vain for even a glimmer of triumphant glee.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In the autumn, the sweet gum tree in my yard is a paradoxical sight. As its green leaves turn red and fall to the ground, it seems to be announcing that it’s slipping into a state of dormancy. At the same time, though, it sprouts hundreds of spiky, brightgreen balls full of seeds, as if to declare it’s bursting with irrepressible vitality.

This phase of the sweet gum’s life is similar to where you are in your cycle right now, Pisces. Would you mind if I called you Sweet Gum? m

18): Mystery writer Agatha Christie took issue with the old saw, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Just as often, she believed, the creation of new conveniences is prompted by the desire to save time and trouble. If necessity is the mother of invention, laziness is the father. I suggest you make that your motto in the coming week, Aquarius.

Be on the lookout for innovations that will free up your time and imagination. Dream and scheme about how you can get more room in your schedule to do absolutely nothing but dream and scheme.

After all, if we’re downhearted three days every month, it means we’re feeling pretty good the other 27 or 28 days. And that’s a glorious revelation that should, in my opinion, provoke dancing in the streets. But now I have even better news for you, Capricorn: According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have, at the most, just one day of feeling sad, blue or depressed this October.
