POLITICS AS USUAL? I wonder how many Americans are aware of this: At the very same time that the people of New Orleans are suffering unbelievably due to a lack of federal disaster response (underfunded FEMA and Homeland Security), the U.S. Congress is debating whether to completely eliminate the IRS estate tax (which affects only people with estates of more than $2 million or so).

Sadly, the rich Republican Congress will probably pass this measure, effectively allowing multimillionaires and billionaires to keep boatloads of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardearnedâ&#x20AC;? money out of the U.S. treasury. Any shortfall, of course, will be taken up by the middle class, which is already circling the drain. God bless George Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s America.

But there is a silver lining. All this high-level greed could help speed up the New Orleans recovery. Bush should act decisively and assign the rebuilding job to Halliburton. This way he and Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pals can pocket yet more dough.

Bryan Hunt

is precisely the kind of behavior that university and city officials have been working very hard to discourage. To what extent are you, Seven Days officials, willing to exercise judgment when faced with such nonsense from prospective advertisers? There is a line here, we believe. You have joined with Red Square owners in stepping way over that line. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to believe both of you are better than this.

NATURAL SELECTION ATV use in the Green Mountains [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ride or Wrong?â&#x20AC;? August 24] is another assault upon the peace and quiet of these great testaments to time and nature. Thankfully, the vision of the old TV cartoon show â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jetsonsâ&#x20AC;? has not come to fruition, or we would be seeing personal spacecraft flying down the trails.

If the Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest plans for our national parks are extended to include our national forests, we will not only have more motorized traffic, but SOUTH BURLINGTON likely visitor signs that tell us that intelligent-design theory (whatever that is) is another explanation for SEEING RED the diversity of tree species.

INTO THE WOODS My appreciation to Seven Days and writer Ken Picard for delving into the issue of whether ATVs should be allowed a place in the Green Mountain National Forest [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ride or Wrong?â&#x20AC;? August 24]. Your article well captured the complexity, controversy and strength of the passions associated with this subject. The Forest Service has attempted to approach this difficult question in a thoughtful and careful manner, considering the many desires the public has towards the national forest along with our long-term stewardship responsibilities. Your article helped to illuminate the public debate further. Thanks.

TREAD LIGHTLY Ken Picardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article about ATVs in the Green Mountain National Forest [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ride or Wrong?â&#x20AC;? August 24] was informative and well balanced, but I am compelled to comment on ATV enthusiast Todd Sheinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings.

to accommodate ATV use that is sensitive and environmentally conscious. And yet the Green Mountain National Forest hasn’t found a way to do that.”

For years the Forest Service has recognized ATVs as “a serious problem” in virtually every national forest. Because of the pollution and destruction caused by even “responsible” riders, public land managers recognize that they have neither the personnel nor funding to properly manage the onslaught of motorized recreationists.

Sheinfeld thinks it’s unfair that

ATV riders don’t have access to Vermont’s public lands. Want to talk about inequity? In a recent Forest magazine article, author Andy Stahl states, “Federal land managers adopted two sets of visitation ethics for our wild lands.

Those who visit by internal combustion are urged to ‘tread lightly,’ while hikers, backpackers and canoeists are asked to ‘leave no trace.’ These unequal sets of ethical use rules create a double standard that allows for more damage by motorized recreationists than others.” Not only is that unfair, it is bad policy.

ATVs satisfy individual riders but pollute the air, land and water for the rest of us. ATV enthusiasts have the very same access to public lands as do the rest of us — on foot. (State lands access permits are available for those who cannot travel on foot.)

‘ELF’ AWARENESS I didn’t intend to write in support of “American Elf,” mainly because I was sure my fellow Seven Days readers would chime in — which they have! But I had an Elf

Moment yesterday and just so appreciated it that I had to throw in my two cents.

I was stopped in a line of cars next to a car dealership in Plainfield. I glanced out my open window to the left and saw an old red Toyota Supra — you know, the ones with the pop-up headlights? — sitting all alone on the lawn. But only one headlight was popped up so it looked like it was winking at me! I laughed and winked back, thinking, “This is an ‘American Elf’ kind of moment.”

A tiny spark of whimsy while sitting in a sweltering car inching forward in traffic.

Elf Moments are about slowing down to appreciate the dozens of small, unexpected appearances of humor, weirdness, self-awareness, beauty and silliness that surround us constantly. They’re about being observant, viewing the world creatively and with gratitude.

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.” — Mahatma Gandhi. Thank you, James Kochalka!

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE As a new school year begins, we’d like to remind parents of their right to control the release of student information to military recruiters, as well as to colleges.

Personal information belongs to students and their parents.

Except for some narrow exceptions, families have the right to control who gets the information

1

and for what purpose. We’ve written all high schools to ask them to respect this privacy right and to ensure that families know how to exercise it.

This opt-out right is not an allor-nothing proposition. Families may bar disclosure of student information to military recruiters while giving colleges and universities access to the information.

The legislature heard this spring that schools could be doing more to inform parents of this right.

Parents may need to take the initiative to contact their child’s school and state — in writing — about whom they do not want information released.

If students already on military recruitment lists want their name removed, they can write to the following address: Joint Advertising, Market Research and Studies, Attention: Opt Out, 4040 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 200, Arlington, VA 22203-1613. You need to provide your name, address, telephone number and date of birth; state that you want your name removed from recruitment lists.

It’s important that students be aware of the range of post-graduation opportunities available to them. But it’s also important that they be able to explore opportunities on their own terms, with their rights to privacy protected.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Thank You! to all of our loyal customers who have braved Shelburne Road to dine with us.

We’re having a great summer!

Bye, Bye Mayor Moonie!

L

ongtime Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle will announce at a Wednesday press conference, shortly after Seven Days hits the streets, that after deep and careful reflection he has decided not to seek reelection in March 2006.

According to a draft of Clavelle’s speech obtained by “Inside Track,” Mayor Moonie will tell the gathering, “I love this job. Being mayor of Burlington is one of the best jobs in the State of Vermont.

Coming to a decision as to whether to seek reelection has been very difficult.

“Today I share that decision with you. I am not planning to seek an eighth term. I am prepared to pass the torch in April of 2006 to Burlington’s 35th mayor.”

Clavelle, the Progressive who switched to Democrat in 2003, will highlight his contributions in waterfront development, affordable housing and keeping democracy alive and well in the Queen City.

“Sometimes it’s messy, usually it’s noisy, and often it’s chaotic,” Clavelle will say. “But the citizens of Burlington are actively engaged in neighborhood decisionmaking and city governance.”

As for his future plans, da mayor will tell the TV cameras, “I have no specific plans. I hope to make the transition to a career in international development. I hope to teach a little and learn a lot. And I intend to remain a resident and citizen of Burlington, and to participate actively in the civic affairs of this community and this state.”

The announcement will set off a political cluster . . . er, bomb. Already there’s no shortage of contenders. On the Democrat side, State Rep. John Tracy let the word out right here last March that he intended to run, even if Clavelle sought reelection.

State Sen. Hinda Miller, Councilor Andy Montroll and former State Rep. Karen Lafayette are also game. Unlike Tracy, they’ve been polite about it.

On the Republican side, Councilor Kevin Curley has been saying for more than a year that he’s going to run. Among Progressives, CEDO Director Michael Monte and Councilors Jane Knodell and Phil Fiermonte are the names most often mentioned.

There’ll be time for all of them later.

Right now, let’s give Mayor Moonie his moment. Yours truly has lived in beautiful Burlap for the last 25 years. To have watched the dusty, old, forgotten town of 1979 with a junkyard for a waterfront transformed into the vibrant, dynamic, people-friendly town it is today is to have watched a legacy in the making. And it’s a legacy that will always have Peter Clavelle’s name on it.

Thanks, Mayor Clavelle.

Public Enemy No. 1 — Even before Hurricane Katrina, George W. Bush was well on his way to being remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history. Now it looks like he’ll be enshrined as the worst of all.

George II has led America into a fraudulent “War on Terror,” saying we must stop the worldwide spread of terrorism in the post-9/11 age. Never mind that Iraq,

the country he invaded, had no connection whatsoever to 9/11. It does, however, have immense oil under its boundless sand. And this is an administration bought and paid for by Big Oil, with Halliburton’s former CEO sitting in the vice-president’s seat.

The bombings from Madrid to London prove Mr. Bush’s War on Terror has actually promoted both “terror” and worldwide terrorism!

And now we have New Orleans and the ravaged Gulf Coast. With his new Homeland Security Department in charge, our homeland has been attacked and ravaged like never before. Not even Pearl Harbor compares to this. And we all know how America’s president fiddled while New Orleans drowned, working the photo-op and fundraiser circuit out West.

While tens of thousands of Americans begged for water for days, Bush, when he finally spoke out, told them to “be patient.” Surely, federal help would have arrived sooner had they been in Iraq, which is where most of the Mississippi and Louisiana National Guard is, their lives already on the line for the Big Bush Lie. Instead, ordinary Vermonters were buying bottled water to ship to their fellow Americans, dying right before their eyes on network television. About 50 nations, including Ireland, Cuba, Russia and Afghanistan, have offered us emergency aid as if we were a third-world country. We’ve heard no acknowledgment from the White House.

Since the days of World War II, the USA has never been in such dire straits.

The national debt has gone through the roof. Our president believes government exists to make the rich richer, ramming two major tax cuts through our GOP-controlled Congress that made even many millionaires say, “Enough is enough!”

Meanwhile, since the Bush team took power, there have been dangerous funding cutbacks in the areas of education, health care, environmental protection and, oh, yes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA Director Michael Brown was deservedly under fire for his demonstrated incompetence, yet Mr. Bush made a point of praising him on TV when he finally touched down in the evacuation zone. A team player is he.

Brown subsequently told a stunned national audience on Thursday that he had not been aware of the 25,000 victims trapped at the Convention Center since Tuesday. Yet everyone in America with a TV or radio knew about them, and had their hearts torn out watching their fellow citizens beg for their lives.

As you may know, Brown’s previous experience was running the Coloradobased International Arabian Horse Association. Ran it into extinction, in fact.

Not enough experience to run FEMA, you say? What are you — a partisan Democrat?

Mr. Brown, you see, has excellent qualifications. He’s an old college buddy of Joe Albaugh, the previous FEMA director who hired him. Heck, horses, hurricanes INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

years, before there are satisfactory answers to the most pressing question: How was this allowed to happen? But Americans must also ask themselves two other important questions: What would I do in that situation?

And, could it happen here?

Few Vermonters have given those questions as much thought as has Toby Dusha, emergency management planner with the

governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow and meager initial response revealed its appalling inability to handle a disaster of this magnitude.

Americans across the country watched with anger, frustration and horror as hurricane victims died, not as a direct result of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fury, but from bureaucratic bungling. Critics were quick to charge that relief efforts were further hampered by the absence of nearly a third of Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Guardsmen, who are now stationed in Iraq.

CLARENDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A slower-motion and smaller-scale version of the New Orleans disaster continues to beset residents of a soggy, shaken and possibly poisoned trailer park in Clarendon.

Tenants of the Whispering Pines mobile home park, situated near the Rutland State Airport, have refused to succumb, however, and they recently wrested pledges from their landlord to address many of their grievances.

Most of the 25 residents are backing up their demands by withholding their $185 monthly rent payments.

Town health officials and an environmental advocacy group have joined in pressing the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, J.P. Carrara & Sons, to make a range of improvements in the park. Activists experienced in these types of housing issues say it is unusual for town officials to intervene so effectively against a locally powerful company such as Carrara.

All manner of water-related have plagued problems Whispering Pines for the past 15 years. Leaks from underground fuel storage tanks contaminated

residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drinking water for an unknown period until the seepage was discovered in 1990.

Water pressure dropped so low in the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s that a shower in one trailer might slow to a drip if someone in a neighboring trailer flushed the toilet. That was also around the time when sewage from a backed-up septic system began eddying into pools in residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yards, recalls Whispering Pines tenant Sandy Shum.

In 2001, Shum relates, scalding and smoking water came gushing out of her kitchen tap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably because chemicals in the pipes had somehow ignited, she suggests. More recently, some trailers have suffered structural damage from ground-shaking explosions at an adjoining quarry also owned by Carrara, a Middlebury stone-working firm.

In some residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinion, the blasts may also be to blame for the foul odor and occasional discoloration of their drinking water.

In keeping with the biblical proportions of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems, sinkholes have opened in some driveways and backyards.

Late last month, Clarendon town officials on an inspection tour of Whispering Pines discovered 12 health-code violations.

Conditions in the park had become so intolerable that residents tried to move away en masse last year. But the Douglas Administration turned down Clarendonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for funds to cover relocation expenses.

Even so, the number of homes in the park has dropped from 18 to nine in the past few years.

Some residents moved their trailers to less frightening locales.

Others died, including two cancer victims who, according to Shum, had kept drinking water from the wells at Whispering Pines.

Carol Callahan, a 7-year park resident and mother of two children, says the high attrition rate is the product of a strategy on Carraraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. Besides driving away the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenants, Callahan says, Carrara has been buying up other homes near the quarry site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all in an attempt to mute protests against its operation and planned expansion of the quarry. >> 13A

Free Delivery! regional coordination,” says Dusha. “Either the towns fend for themselves or the state provides assistance. There is no regional or countywide coordination.”

In fact, Chittenden is one of the only counties in Vermont that employs a full-time emergency planner — most emergency planning is done at the state level, in the Office of Emergency Management. Vermont law provides for neither the organizational structure nor the legal authority to develop countywide systems of coordination.

According to Dusha, that’s not a problem under normal circumstances — say, a major fire that requires mutual aid among several neighboring fire departments.

However, if a situation were to escalate, as it did in Hurricane Katrina, Dusha says that Vermont could easily find itself facing many of the same difficulties as responders did in the Gulf states, from communications failures to a complete breakdown of the transportation system.

For example, Vermont law does not mandate that in the case of a disaster all emergencyresponse agencies use a unified incident-command system, or ICS. Basically, a unified ICS is a method of coordinating the efforts of various agencies and jurisdictions, so that everyone works off the same page, speaks the same language and knows who’s in charge. A centralized ICS structure addresses everything from coordinating medical services to communicating with the

media to handling the finances of the response. While Vermont has developed a strategy for implementing the unified-command model, Dusha says, it hasn’t been implemented in all jurisdictions yet.

Clearly, Vermont has geographic and demographic advantages that work in its favor. For example, the state doesn’t have the population density of a city like New Orleans, nor is it as vulnerable to flooding. However, Duncan Higgins, deputy director of the Vermont Office of Emergency Management, points out that 11 of the last 12 nationally declared disasters in Vermont were floods. In fact, a flood disaster has occurred in virtually every county in the state.

Of course, many Vermonters are prepared for being isolated and self-sufficient for long periods of time, thanks to long winters and the remoteness of many towns. But others in the population, particularly those who have moved to Chittenden County from more urban areas, would be caught wholly off-guard by a major disaster.

And it doesn’t necessarily take a major hurricane to cripple an emergency-response system.

Burlington Deputy Police Chief Walt Decker recalls how the ice storm of January 1998, a relatively localized event, caused multiple systems to collapse. “We had power failures. We had the inability of rescue personnel to respond to the scene. We couldn’t put gas in our police cars because

the pumps were all down,” Decker remembers. “Police officers were going out into the department parking lot and coming back to file injury reports because they slipped on the ice getting to their patrol cars.” In some places, entire city blocks were inaccessible to fire engines and ambulances because ice-covered power lines blocked the streets.

In that storm, the Vermont National Guard was activated in at least three counties. However, as Decker recalls, the 500 or so guardsmen who were sent to Burlington couldn’t get on the ground for three or four days, and when they did, they lacked some essential tools, such as chainsaws, to help with the relief effort.

Finally, emergency planners recommend that all Vermonters take some simple precautions to prepare for the worst. For example, they recommend putting together emergency supplies including bottled water, non-perishable foods, extra medicines, flashlights, spare batteries and pet supplies. They also suggest getting a battery-powered weather-alert radio for keeping on top of developing situations. And they recommend that families develop an emergency plan so that everyone knows what to do, where to meet and who to contact in case they get separated.

Curses, Foiled Again Two men who tried to steal gasoline from a construction company in Nappanee, Ind., were unable to make their getaway because they filled their tank with off-road-grade diesel fuel instead, and their car wouldn’t run. An employee of the company alerted Elkhart County sheriff’s deputies after spotting McKinley Chase, 21, and Dajuan L. Lord, 19, siphoning the diesel fuel from the car’s tank.

reported that only two of the 56 specific drugs, diagnostic tools and vaccines recommended by the Pentagon’s Defense Science Board to successfully respond to a bioterrorist attack are available. Drug makers explained that developing new defenses against biological weapons just isn’t profitable. As a result, three U.S. senators proposed extending patent protection on cooperating companies’ most profitable products from generic competition for an additional 18 months.

Critics of the legislation — sponsored

by Sens. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., and Sam Brownback, R-Kan. — told the Post that the so-called wild-card patent extension

would keep the cost of widely used drugs unnecessarily high and destroy the generic drug industry. Douglas Heye, whose boss, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairs the subcommittee on bioterrorism, said, “We’re definitely looking for some way to incentivize the industry.”

Scavenger Hunt Jason Burtis, 41, reported to police in Colorado Springs, Colo., that the hatch to the van he was driving came open, and his wheelchair fell into the road. Burtis, who has multiple sclerosis and can walk with canes, pulled over to retrieve the wheelchair as vehicles drove around it and his van. Then, he told police, a sport utility vehicle pulled up behind him, and the driver grabbed the wheelchair and drove off.

He fled to another apartment building and tried but failed to break into several apartments before kicking in the door of Melva Hernandez, who said that he barricaded the door, then paced up and down screaming, “Police!

She resisted until the man heard police sirens approaching and jumped out the bedroom window. Police arrested Joe Lucero, 30, and took him to the hospital to be treated for multiple injuries.

• Vietnamese authorities ordered a Hanoi restaurant to stop putting gold in its meals, despite the owner’s insistence that the precious metal enhanced the food’s nutritional value. According to the newspaper Vietnam News, the Health Ministry doesn’t list gold as an approved food additive and said that it must investigate potential health risks. Nguyen Phuong Anh, owner of the Kim Ngan Ngu Thien (Golden Feast) restaurant, said that he used only the purest gold and “always advises customers to ingest only a moderate volume.”

Give Peace a Chance Shortly before Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse arrived at a public stadium in Matara, Sri Lanka, to kick off his campaign for president, two doves were freed as a sign of

peace. They were killed instantly when they flew into a ceiling fan. “One bird fell in front of the stage while the other dropped behind the dignitaries,” a police official said. Last year, Sri Lanka’s public security minister, Ratnasiri Wickremanayake, tried to free a dove at the start of a multinational UN peacekeeping exercise, but the bird was already dead after being squeezed too tightly.

Unwitting Accomplices Authorities in Stuart, Fla., reported that Charlotte Yoder drove fugitive William Hawley, 41, around for three hours after he escaped from a state prison work crew.

According to sheriff’s Sgt. John Silvas, Hawley told Yoder that his car had broken down and he needed a cab because his wife or girlfriend was having their baby.

Yoder offered to drive him and took him to five medical centers before giving him $20 for a meal at a fast-food restaurant.

Silvas said that the woman never felt threatened. “He was very nice,” he said.

“They talked about religion, family.”

Perfect Position After former FBI agent W. Mark Felt revealed that he was Watergate’s Deep Throat, the Nation magazine reported that the agency twice put Felt in charge of finding out Deep Throat’s identity. The second time, the article said, Felt had already come under suspicion of being the source of leaks to Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. “He was much more than a secret sharer. He was an operator,” the Nation story explained, adding that Felt “was able to watch his own back and protect his ability to guide the two reporters.” m

At a recent meeting in Clarendon’s town hall, Phelps confronted a Carrara attorney with a container of water that had just been drawn from a Whispering Pines trailer’s kitchen tap. Phelps asked the lawyer to drink the smelly liquid. He declined her offer.

Phelps says she is trying hard to help the tenants because “this is a very small community, and if people don’t see Chuck and me working to help our neighbors, they’re going to look at us and wonder what we’re doing.”

It’s been a difficult fight, adds Smith. “Citizens in this neighbor-

to deepen its quarry from 70 feet to 175 feet. The company will now be required to install a sedimentfiltration system and new water piping at the park. The commission also put the burden of proof in future disputes with park tenants squarely on Carrara. The firm must henceforth show that any water problems or structural damage at Whispering Pines are not the result of its quarrying activities. Carrara is also promising to correct all health-code violations cited by Clarendon officials.

Tenants are hopeful that these moves will help make the park safer and healthier. “But we intend to closely monitor Carrara’s actions to make sure the require-

hood are so completely disadvantaged,” says the head of the Danby-based group, which has been battling state officials over what it maintains is their failure to enforce environmental laws at Whispering Pines. “These are lowincome people dealing with a wealthy corporation. The reason things are in such condition at that park is because of 10 years of neglect.”

Jay Rutherford, director of the water supply division at the Agency of Natural Resources, says his unit regularly tests the well water at Whispering Pines, and has found it safe to drink.

Rutherford concedes, however, “Things can go wrong between the well and the tap.” And he says he respects residents’ claims about problems with water pressure and quality.

But the state no longer has jurisdiction over the water at Whispering Pines. When the number of hook-ups to wells at a housing development falls below 15, ANR stops enforcing standards covering public water supplies.

Carrara, which bought the park about 10 years ago, has repeatedly ignored complaints about drinking water and septic systems, tenants contend. According to Shum, company officials typically say that it’s not their responsibility to police the park, or that if tenants don’t like living there, they should move away.

Carrara also did not respond to requests, through the company’s attorneys, for comments for this story. m

he Vermont Transit bus terminal was bustling when I went in to check on the MontrĂŠal arrival. Since 9/11, the crossborder buses often run late and, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky, the ticket agents will have an updated ETA. There was a crowd at the counter, however, so I took a seat and waited for the line to dwindle.

Directly across from me, under the window seats facing the waiting room, some family members sat together engaged in conversation. They included a couple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a man and a woman probably pushing 50 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with an older woman I took to be one of their mothers.

All three struck me as classically midAmerican, with pasty skin and touristy, pastel outfits.

In the seat between the couple sat a bespectacled young boy, presumably their son. He was engrossed with the toy in his hands, a figurine modeled on a Star Wars character. As he intently manipulated the limbs of the toy, he kept up a running dialogue in the preoccupied manner of a transfixed child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; half to his dad, half to himself.

At first, I assumed he was a dwarf, but his tiny feet barely reached the end of the seat cushion.

All of this was entirely unremarkable, except for the fact that the boy was African-American and incredibly small â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the shortest person, in fact, I had ever seen. His head seemed normal-sized for a 7- or 8-year-old, which was how old he acted, but the rest of his body was pintsized, the legs slightly bowed and longer in proportion to his arms and torso. At first, I assumed he was a dwarf, but his tiny feet barely reached the end of the seat cushion; I doubted he stood much over 2 feet. If it was dwarfism, his condition was surely a most extreme example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad, give me money for a Mountain Dew?â&#x20AC;? he beseeched his father, putting aside his toy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Jim, what does it cost?â&#x20AC;? his father replied.

Taking that as an affirmative, Jim broke out in a huge smile. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a kid, I can still remember, the acquisition and consumption of soda and candy carries immense importance. He deftly hopped off the chair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no trivial endeavor at his size â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and walked towards the vending machines on the other end of the room. Every eye in the terminal followed the little guy as he made his way around the seats, moving with a slightly waddling motion.

Jim appeared unfazed by the attention, and it had to be more than anticipation of a sugar buzz. Clearly, the boy had some great parents boosting his sense of self. He must attract constant public

attention, perhaps some of it insensitive or even cruel. Heck, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten bent out of shape when a supermarket cashier looks at me oddly.

Jim returned to his father from the vending machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.25,â&#x20AC;? he announced gaily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it takes dollar bills!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All righty, then,â&#x20AC;? his dad replied, reaching into his pocket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dough.â&#x20AC;?

Grasping the money, Jim skedaddled back to the soda machine. He had to stand on his toes to slip the dollar into the bill feeder; the coin slot for the quarter was nearer his eye level. The bottle dropped down, and Jim quickly unscrewed the top and took a long draw.

Then, incorporating just the right touch of drama, he shook his head and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ahhh.â&#x20AC;? To those of us watching him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, as I said, was everyone in the room â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was as if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d achieved nirvana.

Returning to his seat, Jim placed the soda on the shelf under the window. He then grabbed his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm and twisted it around in an arm lock. Taking the bait, his father said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want a piece of me, buddy?â&#x20AC;?

Jim yelped with delight as the man removed his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glasses and carried him down onto the empty carpet space in front of them. His wife and the grandmother saw what was happening, and both smiled as the two guys began to wrestle. The kid had a lot of strength, though the man was able to fling his body around like a doll. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine Jim weighed more than 30 pounds, if that.

At one point in the battle, with the man on his back and his son crouched upon his torso, Jim emitted a fart, which came out as a sharp, bugle-like retort.

You could hear a pin drop in the waiting room. At Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age, however, farting is just about the most hilarious thing in the world, so he simply let up the fight to enjoy the moment. I was keen to see his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction, whether he would register any embarrassment.

The man lifted his head from the carpet, looked at his son with a sly grin and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chemical warfare, huh?â&#x20AC;?

Pressing his lips together, Jim nodded once and dove back into the fray. Just then the bus I was waiting for pulled in front of the terminal, and the ticket agent announced its arrival. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom looked down and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our bus to Boston, guys,â&#x20AC;? and the man arose, lifting his son in one arm as if he were a toddler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I won, dad!â&#x20AC;? Jim said, his eyes alight with joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sure did, Jimbo,â&#x20AC;? the man replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You won that round, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get you next time.â&#x20AC;? m â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hackieâ&#x20AC;? is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

very fall, in public, private and parochial schools across the country, students get rounded up to sit for snapshots on class-picture day. Though the faces before the camera change each year, those behind it tend to stay the same. In Vermont, Heidi Weston and Kristi LaFayette are perennial school-picture pros — Weston has been at MacLean-Stevens Studios nine years; LaFayette, 14.

Their studio, in the basement of a historic brick building at 166 Battery Street, has been around a lot longer. Larry MacLean founded the business in the early 1960s; he sold it this summer to Lifetouch, a national chain.

Heidi Weston, Kristi LaFayette When she’s not pointing her lens at schoolchildren, Weston takes maritime phoSchool Photographers tos — she’ll be showing her work at MacLean-Stevens Studios Cobblestone Deli in October. LaFayette at Lifetouch, Burlington specializes in photographing women who give birth at home. She also shoots outdoor music festivals; her portraits of the early years of Vermont’s Reggae Fest are currently on display at Phoenix at Sugarbush Village in Warren.

SEVEN DAYS: This must be a busy time of year for you.

HEIDI WESTON: Yesterday was the first day of school, so it’s pretty chaotic.

KRISTI LAFAYETTE: We’re setting up at different schools every day. We have multiple crews going out.

HW: It’s not just school pictures anymore. Everybody thinks you sit on the stool and you take kids’ pictures, but it’s a lot more than that . . . We provide services to the schools. ID cards are a big deal these days. We do little record photos for the schools. Mealtime programs sometimes use ID cards, too. And we do yearbook support. We do sports teams.

We cover games for the yearbook.

SD: What else do you do besides snap photos?

KL: It’s a lot of interacting with the kids. Understanding that when they come in to have their picture taken, it’s very intimidating to see all this equipment. You see this line of kids, and you can see the kid five kids down. You can see he’s kind of freaked out. And you realize that this is your one chance to get a good photograph of him — what can you do to make this student feel comfortable when he comes up? It’s just you and the kid, and all this equipment.

We have several hundred kids to photograph — how do you make them feel comfortable enough to give you a

real smile? That’s the challenge of it.

HW: In this business, you’ve got to be part clown. Anybody can be a photographer, but to be a school photographer is kind of a specialized game. To get those expressions, especially from a preschooler or a first-grader, you’ve got to get down to their level.

SD: What do you do?

HW: With preschoolers, we do silly little noises or say a silly word.

KL: Asking them ridiculous questions.

HW: Sometimes you just talk to a person, and you hit on something, and you can see in their expression it’s something that makes their eyes light up, and you keep talking about it.

Then you get a real honest expression from them.

SD: How do you coax a genuine smile out of a teenager, who’s really worried about how she looks?

KL: Being ready and catching them off guard. A lot of people will hold their pose, and then you just say something ridiculous that they’re not necessarily expecting you to say.

SD: Like what?

HW: I just talk to them. With the older kids you just strike up a conversation. You start talking about some-

thing. “So, you got a driver’s license?

Been driving around? Payin’ for gas?”

With seniors: “You lookin’ into college?

Where are you thinking of going?

What do you want to do?”

KL: “Maybe I can come work for you.”

Things like that.

SD: Do you ever have kids that you just can’t reach?

KL: Yep. We make [the younger students] our assistants. We have them stand behind the camera with us, watch everybody else go through. We build up their confidence a little bit. Have them push the button, have them look through the viewfinder, make them feel important. Next thing you know, you can’t get them off the stool.

SD: As a school photographer, you’re essentially taking the same picture over and over again. How do you keep it from getting stale?

KL: Keeping it personal. Making each picture count. Kindergarten kids come in and they’ve been talking about their picture. They’re dressed up. They are the most excited kids. You know that this picture is hopefully going to be with them forever. It’s exciting.

HW: It’s their very first school picture sometimes. You know it’s going on the mantel.

SD: Do you use props? Different backgrounds?

HW: We used to offer a choice between the head-and-shoulder pose or the casual pose, where you put your arms in the picture. We can’t really do that anymore. You can’t have arms and props showing in ID cards. We do have a handful of schools that invite us to come back in the spring, and we offer a variety of backgrounds. Kids bring in things from home. Beanie Babies, baseball bats. Whatever they want to do.

But sometimes Mom and Dad really like those traditional pictures.

KL: I like to think of us as record keepers. The kids aren’t going to remember the day. They’re not going to remem-

ber the photographer . . .

HW: But they’ll look at their outfit.

Don’t you do that sometimes? You go home, and you look at your old pictures from school and you say, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe my mother let me out of the house wearing those pants! Look at my hair!” They’re just kind of fun, in retrospect, to go back through.

SD: Have you taken any particularly memorable pictures?

KL: Oh, we can’t really talk about those (laughs). We could probably write a book. We could do “Saturday Night Live” skits with the different scenarios that happen. A lot of times, the kids get really excited. They’ll go and fix themselves up. Sometimes little boys go in the bathroom and they wet their hair back. And then we get notes back from mom saying, “I did not send my child to school with his hair slicked back.” Or their shirts are buttoned crooked. Or they don’t want to take their coat off. They want the coat in the picture. And obviously someone at home sent them to picture day with a really nice shirt on.

SD: These ones on display in your office, what makes them special?

Like this large framed photo behind the counter, the one of the teenage girl in the blue dress with shoulder-length brown hair?

KL: It’s a real smile. It’s not forced. It’s obvious she was comfortable.

The thing is, everybody has a camera. Everybody takes pictures of each other. Everybody has school pictures — whether they buy a package or not, they end up in the yearbook, or in school files. And everybody likes to have a good photo of themselves. Especially the high school kids. They’re very concerned about their photos. Oftentimes they tell you they hate having their picture taken. Chances are, they really want to have a good picture taken of them. m

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, Some background. When I was a kid growing up in the late ’50s and early ’60s, one of the things we used to do was induce ourselves to fart by sticking the nozzle of a bicycle hand pump into our behinds and giving ourselves several pumps of air. We would then get close to another kid and open the floodgate. Although the scent wasn’t potent, the sound was still funny. After we’d done this a few times, we learned to generate different kinds of sounds, ranging from a sudden burst like a sonic boom to high-pitched sound like that of an out-of-tune trumpet.

Now my question. I heard that some kids or maybe grown-ups got daring and instead of a hand pump used a compressed air hose. The sudden injection of high-pressure gas at hundreds of pounds per square inch into the intestines caused rupture and internal bleeding. I heard there were documented cases of deaths from this type of dangerous entertainment. Tell me it’s not true!

Bill Sabalburo, San Juan, La Union, Philippines What do you want to be told isn’t true? That nobody has died from injecting high-pressure air up their bums for the purpose of inducing farts? If so, you’re in luck — I couldn’t find any fart-induction fatalities in the case reports. Fact is, I couldn’t find much on recreational flatulence, period. However, if we turn to the wider question of whether a keisterful of compressed air can kill you, it sure can.

The first case reported in the medical literature, in 1904, involved a 17-year-old UK male who was brought to the infirmary in pain after having “got blown up with an air force-pump.” The account is not very informative on how this occurred, and you probably don’t want to hear a lot of details anyway.

Suffice it to say that the guy’s guts ruptured in multiple locations, spilling the intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity; peritonitis presumably set in, and

three hours after admission he was dead.

That happened quite a bit in the old days. One review of 44 cases published in 1931 found that more than half the victims died. Most incidents were industrial-workplace pranks involving males fooling around with an air hose. In many, perhaps most, instances the hose wasn’t forcibly inserted; on the contrary, the victim was fully clothed and the hose held to the seat of his pants or otherwise directed at him at close range, the topography of the buttocks acting as a funnel. In a few cases no prankster was involved; the fellow was just trying to blow dust off his clothes. However it happened, the victim’s belly typically became painfully distended; after insertion of a hollow needle into the abdomen or initial incision on the operating table, he deflated like a popped beach ball, providing welcome but only temporary relief if no attempt was made to repair the internal damage and stave off infection.

The 1931 researcher, an MD named Burt, was sufficiently alarmed about the situation to devote a 28page treatise to the subject, among other things establishing that the pressure required to rupture the intestine was a mere 4 pounds or so per square inch. The pressure generated by a compressor is many times higher, on the order of 50 to 150 psi, and I venture to say you could push the limit with a bicycle pump.

A 1980 review totted up 93 cases of pneumatic intestinal rupture, but thereafter things seem to have quieted down. Possibly that’s because of rising maturity and intelligence in the workforce, but more likely, in my opinion, because the industrial jobs affording access to air hoses were being exported overseas — the first Korean case was reported in 1996. The latest U.S. case I can find, as usual involving a practical joker, is from 2002. His victim, a Georgia carpentry shop employee, survived, but was out of work for three months and ran up medical bills totaling close to $70,000.

To be sure, a key difference between these folks and you is that you filled yourself up willingly, whereas the prank and accident victims didn’t. Only a handful of intentional self-inflators have been reported, one of whom, interestingly, used a bicycle pump and seems to have suffered no damage, although his doctors certainly freaked. (A later account describes the fellow as mentally unbalanced; while I can understand jumping to this conclusion, the original report expresses no opinion on the man’s sanity.)

I don’t mean to be alarmist — your experiments along these lines were a long time ago, and surely Xbox offers today’s youth less perilous ways to amuse themselves. Still, some things one wants to nip in the bud.

Common Threads

W The “Somali Bantu Refugee Craft Exhibit” will be displayed in the window of Frog Hollow in Burlington through September.

orlds collide on the Church Street Marketplace every day. This month at the Frog Hollow Gallery, an intersection of people and place takes center stage. The “Somali Bantu Refugee Craft Exhibit” features the work of six African refugees who have recreated traditional wares for their new American neighbors.

Sherri LaPierre, Frog Hollow’s operations manager, proposed the exhibit last spring, hoping it would capture “the diversity that the refugees bring to our city,” and reveal “the common thread that runs through all of us as artists and craftspeople,” she says.

“I could only imagine that, coming from so little and having experienced such hardship, refugees would need to be industrious and make many of the things some of us could just purchase,” LaPierre adds. “It seemed a wonderful idea to open up the opportunity for them to show their work in our gallery.”

Judy Scott, coordinator of volunteer services at the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, readily agreed.

But neither woman suspected it would take a village to bring the craft project to fruition.

The Bantu people have been adapting and assimilating for centuries. But despite a history of displacement, their traditions also endured the journey from slavery to resettlement. Descendants of Tanzanians and Mozambicans taken to Southern Somalia by Arab traders in the 19th century, the Bantus also endured forced labor

by Italian colonists in the early 20th cen-

tury. When civil war broke out in Somalia in the 1990s, the Bantus became refugees.

After more than a decade of enduring impoverished conditions in either the Dadaab or Kakuma camps of Northern Kenya, nearly 12,000 Somali Bantus have

crafts.” Many were willing to share a part of their history with their new hometown. But the rigors of assimilation leave little time for making art. And there was the question of supplies.

Mohamed Bulle Ibrahim, who works for A.C. Hathorne as a roofer, needed

ager at Ben & Jerry’s, the affair puts old clothes to good use. Instead of just swapping sweaters and such with each other, Halperin and her friends decided to exchange wardrobes for money and donate it to women’s and children’s charities.

How could Muslimo Ali Ahmed afford the kind of fabric required to sew indigenous styles when she has five children in need of modern, American clothing? been resettled in cities across the United States. Burlington is home to between 250 and 300 — the exact number is not known, because some refugees initially relocated to other cities have moved here on their own.

Since they began arriving in the Queen City two years ago, the Somali Bantus have faced new hardships, including New England winters and the English language. “What they do every single day is adapt to American culture,” explains Scott, who sees the craft exhibit as a chance to make the Somali Bantu culture the center of attention.

She presented the idea to some of the refugees by describing Frog Hollow as “a store with great respect for traditional

hollow wood to make a guraban (drum) and shararro (stringed instrument). His wife, Isha Ali Adbi needed palm fronds, as did her fellow basket-weavers, Changua Jimale Kalmo and Fatuma Bulle.

How could Muslimo Ali Ahmed afford the kind of fabric required to sew indigenous styles when she has five children in need of modern, American clothing? Expert tailor Ali Muse Abdi, now employed by the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, also needed fabric.

Solutions began to trickle in from a variety of community resources. Funding for the project came from an event earlier this summer in Burlington called the Clothing Exchange. Established by Leslie Halperin, a social-mission program man-

While gearing up for the fifth Clothing Exchange in June, a member of the planning committee who had hosted a Somali refugee in her home suggested sending the profits to support the Bantu women’s efforts at employment. The event raised nearly $7500. The VRRP’s Judy Scott directed the funds toward securing supplies: African print fabric, thread and elastic for the sewers, and palm fronds for the basket makers. Any leftover money would be earmarked for education.

The sewing supplies presented no problems, but palm fronds were nowhere to be found. Neither were the hollow wood, animal hides or special wire for Mohamed’s instruments. (In Bantu cul-

ture, people always refer to each other by their first name; there really are no last names per se.

Children are given a first name, their second name is their father’s first name, and their third name comes from their grandfather’s first name. Women do not change their names when they marry.)

Lauren Berrizbeitia, a VRRP volunteer working with Isha and Mohamed’s family, was determined to deliver the goods. “I started going on the Internet and bringing photos of African baskets to Isha,” she explains. Eventually, Isha recognized the Somali Bantu style in one of the pictures. Later, when she and Berrizbeitia were watching a Tarzan movie, Isha pointed out the exact kind of palm frond she had used to make baskets in her refugee camp.

Unfortunately, palm fronds are only available in America for a period preceding Palm Sunday, and it was the beginning of summer.

That’s when Muslimo’s husband, who works at Gardener’s Supply, suggested using the plastic strapping from shipping pallets as a stand-in for the fronds. Although Isha found the material stiff, she was happy to give it a try. And despite a few cuts on her fingers, she managed to fashion baskets in the traditional style. The newfangled versions look more like brightly colored handbags than mutedtoned African totes. Still, they retain the intricate weaving patterns that distinguish the handmade from the mass-produced. Isha and the other weavers say they’d like to make mats, too, if “something softer” comes along.

Berrizbeitia also turned her attention to Mohamed’s interests.

“We went to music stores and he was drawn to the congo drums,” she says. “So I called Stuart Paton of the Burlington Taiko Group and asked him if I could bring Mohamed to see his collection — some of which were made with PVC pipe.” When Mohamed saw the drums, he told Berrizbeitia that he had used the same piping to

make drums in the camp.

Paton became instrumental, so to speak, in making sure Mohamed could make music. According to Berrizbeitia, he procured the PVC from a plumbing-supply store and got farming friends to donate goatskins. A few more folks pitched in with salad bowls so Mohamed also could make the guitar-shaped shararros. Berrizbeitia provided him with the paint to decorate the neck and body of the instrument; Mohamed dismantled an old bicycle brake cable to serve as wire strings. Both final products are dramatic in their dichotomy. On the drums, the traditional brown hide heads are stretched over a bright turquoise PVC base. The banjo-like shararros range from the simple to the sublime: While one is left in its natural state, another is decorated from its long, wooden neck to its salad-bowl body with fluorescent paint droppings.

Meanwhile, the sewers were fashioning the haute couture of their culture with borrowed sewing machines. Featuring mostly dresses, since Somali women don’t wear pants, the collection uses traditionally bold African prints, but are cut in a more typically Western style — imagine Gloria Vanderbilt working with Kinta cloth.

With the exhibition in motion, another connection provided the final stitch in LaPierre’s “common thread” theme. Rose McNulty, a professional photographer and anthropology student at Burlington College, had been volunteering with VRRP when Scott assigned her the task of putting the Bantus’ artistic process on film. McNulty describes her contribution to the show as “more portraiture than a full-on documentary,” but her color shots beautifully depict a tradition in transition. The images of Muslimo weaving on a North End stoop and Mohamed’s daughter playing his PVC drums tell a tale of two cultures. And, like the exhibit itself, they capture the best of both worlds. m

— what’s the difference?

Albaugh ran Bush’s 2000 campaign. And, according to the Federal Election Commission, Mr. Brown donated $1000 to that campaign.

Good investment, eh?

P.S. Our own Skip Vallee, recently appointed ambassador to Slovakia, gave $2000 to Bush that year. Besides being incompetent, Brown is also a cheapskate.

Seeing the Light — One by one, Americans who supported Bush’s fraudulent “War on Terror” are realizing it’s more aptly called the “War to Spread Terror.” On Sunday, retired ABC-TV “World News Tonight” Middle East correspondent Barrie Dunsmore of Charlotte joined the club.

Dunsmore told Times Argus and Rutland Herald readers he had been wrong in supporting the Bush administration’s military intervention. The key for him, he said, had been then-Secretary of State Colin Powell’s assertion to the United Nations that the U.S. had evidence of Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction.”

From personally dealing with Powell over the years, Dunsmore had come to trust him. He was not alone.

Unfortunately, we now know Colin Powell stuck to the party line, presenting phony evidence to the U.N. He subsequently retired and has quietly disappeared from view. Gen. Powell had a distinguished military and diplomatic career trashed by putting loyalty to a dishonest commander-inchief over loyalty to his country.

“It is clear to me that ‘the course’ we are now following is doomed to fail. That said, we can prolong the agony, as in Vietnam, and as the Soviets did in Afghanistan. Or we can cut our losses — sooner, I would hope, rather than later.”

It takes honesty and courage to admit you’ve made a mistake.

Lacking those qualities, the current president will never do likewise.

Washington’s Choice! — House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland dropped into town on Friday to let Vermonters know the Democratic leadership in our nation’s capital isn’t waiting for the locals to cast their ballots in the September 2006 primary; they’ve decided State Sen. Peter Welch is the man!

Hoyer, a polished, silver-haired slicker with the tongue to match, noted the timing was indeed “unusual,” since “there are other candidates who are discussing the possibility of running who are Democrats.”

No names were mentioned, but everyone knows former State Sen. Peter Shumlin of Putney has already signed up Howard Dean’s longtime guardian angel, Kate O’Connor, as his campaign manager.

Welch, meanwhile, has hired U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy’s former campaign manager, Carolyn Dwyer. Earlier this year, Dwyer had signed on with U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords’ reelection campaign, but Jeezum Jim’s decision to retire left her available, and Welch quickly grabbed her.

“We in Washington,” said Ol’ Steny, have made a determination that because Peter Welch brings such extraordinary ability to this campaign, we believe it’s in the best interests of our caucus, but for our country, too, to come out early.”

Asked just who the hell the folks in Foggy Bottom thought they were to “determine” who should be the Democratic Party’s candidate in Vermont, Ol’ Steny went into damage-control mode.

“No, no, no, no,” cried Hoyer.

“You’re making too much of that.

We cannot, nor should we, determine for the voters of Vermont, but every person has to determine for himself what he or she thinks is the right thing to do, and neutrality, in my opinion, is not an option in these times. The stakes are so high,” said Steny. “The country is going so wrong.”

Thanks for the clarification.

Certainly, Vermont Democrats will follow the party line.

God bless America, eh?

Ben & Jerry’s Bust — When it comes to corporate America, we were reminded last week, not all the crooks work for Enron-style companies. The U.S. Attorney announced the former chief financial officer for Ben & Jerry’s has been busted for stealing more than $300,000 from the socially conscious ice cream maker.

Mickey Wiles of Shelburne worked there for nine years. He left voluntarily in 2004. “Inside Track” has learned that he then became the chief financial officer at Burlington-based Seventh Generation.

“As soon as we learned of his alleged actions,” said spokesman Nancy Sterling, “we immediately asked him to offer his resignation in June.” The company quickly brought in an outside auditor and found no funds were missing.

P.S. According to www. bigspeak.com, Seventh Generation CEO Jeffrey Hollander is available for speeches on the topic: “What Matters Most: The Next Generation of Responsible, Values-Based Business Leadership.” The website indicates Hollander’s speaking fee is in the $7500 to $10,000 range.

Bet Mickey Wiles could give a hell of a speech, too, eh?

Our Shackled Press — While we were “on holiday” the Vermont Supreme Court sure straightened everyone out on where it stands regarding freedom of the press. What freedom?

In a 5-0 decision written by Associate Justice Denise Johnson, the court supported Chittenden County State’s Attorney Bob Simpson’s demand that WCAX-TV turn over “all” video shot at UVM’s World Series riot last October.

The Supremes have officially turned the Vermont press into evidence-gatherers for law enforcement. But there are at least three little ironies here, folks.

First, on its website, UVM Police Services boasts, “Our investigators took the aired footage from WCAX and captured digital stills. They then posted those digital stills to our web page, and we

2x5-renew090705

asked the campus community for help in identification. By all accounts, we were successful in doing so. A dozen people were identified and arrested for their participation in the destruction of university property.”

Second, State Rep. Stephen Green of Berlin introduced a bill last year designed to address the First Amendment issue at hand.

H. 379 “proposes to prohibit any governmental body from compelling the news media to divulge a source, while providing limited protection to the media with regard to news and information obtained in the course of official news gathering.”

H. 379 received no, repeat, no media interest, according to Green.

And, third, State’s Attorney Bob Simpson, we’ve learned, has a rather interesting past. After he got out out of the Army, Bob was — get this — a reporter at the Times Argus for a few years (19721974). He covered everything from sports to the Montpeculiar City Council.

And it gets worse: His wife was a reporter, too!

Surely, next year the legislature will take a close look at the loss of press freedom in the Green Mountains?

McMullen Burned — Yours truly got wind of it just before the great vacation kicked in. Sources told us a car owned by the former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jack McMullen had been torched in South Burlington. In fact, we were told, McMullen’s car had also been vandalized — its side windows busted out — several days earlier while parked on a residential street near the Burlington Airport. The word was, McMillions parked on a side street to avoid paying airport parking fees.

McMullen confirmed both incidents this week.

Jack told “Inside Track” he had indeed parked his 1993 Dodge Intrepid on Dumont Avenue, apparently the closest free parking to the check-in counter, while on an out-of-town trip.

“It’s legal parking,” said the former Republican candidate.

“I’ve done it before on occasion.”

Added Jack, blaming his Scottish heritage, “I guess frugality didn’t work.” Not bad for a guy with a reported net worth in the range of $20 million, eh?

A few days later, the Intrepid was vandalized. Since the owner wasn’t reachable, police had it towed to Spillane’s (recently purchased by Ambassador and former GOP state senate hopeful Skip Vallee).

When Jack returned, he had it towed to the lower level of the parking garage on Dorset Street behind Barnes & Noble. The following morning, August 6, shortly after 5 a.m., the call came in to the South Burlington Fire Department.

It was a total loss. Kind of like Mr. McMullen’s political career, eh? m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

W STORY

KEN PICARD David Ray Griffin talks October 12, Trinity Methodist Church, Montpelier, noon, and 7 p.m. in Burlington, location TBA. Info, 387-5127.

hen David Ray Griffin talks about the people behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, his ideas sound as outlandish and sinister as an “X-Files” storyline. Griffin is a prominent spokesperson in the “9/11 truth movement,” which challenges the official conclusions of the 9/11 Commission that the hijackings were masterminded by Osama bin Laden and pulled off by 19 Muslim extremists.

Griffin contends not only that the Bush administration knew about the attacks in advance, but also that the plot was orchestrated by top-ranking U.S. government officials. Their intent, he asserts: to provide the necessary catalyst — like Pearl Harbor for America’s entry into World War II — for U.S. military intervention in the oil-rich regions of Asia and the Middle East.

Griffin, 66, seems an unlikely expert on U.S. intelligence or military affairs.

Before joining the ranks of 9/11 skeptics, he spent 31 years teaching theology and

the philosophy of religion at the Claremont School of Theology in California. Nevertheless, he has emerged as one of the leading voices in the 9/11 truth movement, a point of view that seems to be gaining legions of followers — or at least selling lots of books.

Griffin is himself the author of several books on 9/11 and its roots in American imperialism, including 2004’s The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about 9/11 and the Bush Administration, and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, published this year. He comes to Vermont next month for speaking engagements entitled, “The Truth Behind 9/11: A Christian Theologian Speaks Out,” sponsored by Southern Vermonters for Fair Economy and Environmental Priorities.

Griffin says his theological underpinnings morally compel him and other people of faith to seek the truth behind what >> 24A

really happened on that fateful day four years ago. “[O]ur first allegiance must be to God, who created and loves all people, indeed all forms of life,” Griffin writes in the latest issue of the progressive Methodist journal, Zion’s Herald. “If we believe that our political and military leaders are acting on the basis of policies that are diametrically opposed to the divine purposes, it is incumbent upon us to say this.”

Like many Americans, in the months after 9/11 Griffin believed the United States was experiencing “blowback” from years of meddling in the affairs of other nations. “When a colleague first said that he thought this was an inside job — he happened to be a British colleague — my first response was very typical of many Americans.

I didn’t think that even the Bush administration would do such a thing,” Griffin says in a

phone interview from his home near Santa Barbara, California.

“But then it finally dawned on me that, like other imperialistic nations, we had provoked wars [before] by doing something and then blaming the other side.”

Griffin’s theories might easily be dismissed as the work of an intelligent and well-intentioned crank — were they not so intriguing and well-researched.

His books and public speaking engagements — including an address to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and another that aired recently on C-SPAN — draw from such mainstream sources as The New York Times and The Washington Post. They include interviews with FBI agents who claim they approached administration officials just weeks before 9/11 to warn of the attacks.

For example, Griffin points to the spike in abnormal stock-

official story [of 9/11] is the original conspiracy theory. If you want to talk about outrageous, talk about fire bringing down steel-frame buildings for the first time in history. Or Hani Hanjour [the hijacker who reportedly piloted American Airlines Flight 77], who could not even fly a Cessna, flying a Boeing 757 in a magnificent loop down into the Pentagon. You can’t get more outrageous than that.”

Would Americans accept the idea that the Bush administration is guilty of murder and high treason? A Zogby International poll conducted in August 2004 found that nearly half of New York City residents — 49.3 percent — believed that the federal government “knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001 and that they consciously failed to act.” A similar poll, conducted in Canada and Germany last year, found that 15 to 20 percent of their citizens believed that the Bush administration not only had foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks, but actually had a hand in them. No one has yet posed the latter question in the United States.

Griffin hasn’t gained much credibility in the mainstream U.S. media. Thus far, no major American newspaper has reviewed his books, though the Los Angeles Times Magazine recently ran a brief interview with him.

Griffin doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suggest the mainstream press is deliberately covering up his work.

He simply believes they lack the courage to address the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Editors know what their owners will allow and not allow, and if they cross that line, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fired or called on the carpet,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about, say, NBC, do you really think that [a network] owned by General Electric is going to expose 9/11 if it was for the global war on terror, which is making GE filthy rich?â&#x20AC;?

And Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theories about 9/11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, it should be noted, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his alone but are shared by other writers across the political spectrum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; might eventually gain traction, like similar theories about the Kennedy assassination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty percent of the American people reject the [conclusions of] the Warren Commission, and yet it is not part of the greater public consciousness that forces within our own government were involved in the assassination of Kennedy,â&#x20AC;? Griffin concludes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The American people have been pretty tolerant of learning that we fixed the intelligence to invade Iraq.

But I think the one thing the American people would not stand for is learning that [their own government] arranged 9/11.â&#x20AC;?

He adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m optimistic.â&#x20AC;? m

ambit Weekly didn’t distribute its “best-of” issue last week in New Orleans. At press time, employees of the local alternative weekly — the Big Easy equivalent of Seven Days — were escaping floodwaters that engulfed most of the city, including their offices.

There’s been no word from half the staff, but editor Michael Tisserand surfaced in Lafayette, Louisiana, and soon after wrote this essay. Though his family counts as one of STORY “lucky” ones who were able to get out in time, his tale is still wrenching.

MICHAEL The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies — to which Gambit and Seven Days TISSERAND both belong — has established an online tracking system to help locate the missing Gambit employees. The trade association has also established a relief fund to replace their wages. Several newspapers have stepped forward with offers of temporary employment.

Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright.

— Randy Newman, “Louisiana 1927”

The vision you need...

The look you want

New Orleans is gone. I left it behind me on Saturday, with my two kids in the backseat, the soundtrack to Shrek on the CD player.

My wife, a pediatrician, was on call for the weekend and stayed behind.

She joined us in a town just outside Lafayette, Louisiana, Sunday evening after a harrowing odyssey along the southern route of Highway 90, driving without her glasses or a cellphone, our three cats roaming in the back of a shaky Volvo.

Together that night, we watched the

sas, and announces that “Evacuees in need of dialysis should call . . .” Above these details are shots of aerial superheroes in short red jumpsuits or head-to-toe military green, alighting on rooftops and loading old women and little boys in wire baskets for their ride out.

Scan along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and it’s tragedy and timber. A man holds his two boys. “I can’t find my wife,” he tells the reporter. “Our house split in two.”

This is all via TV. Direct information is harder to come by. Cellphones aren’t working; contact with others is haphazard. I haven’t been able to talk with my publisher yet. But this morning, my wife reached her boss. This is a man who embodies the New

New Orleans is gone, along with the newspaper where I work, the home where I live, my kids’ beloved school, my neighborhood sno-ball stand, my neighborhood anything. same show that all who’d gotten out were watching. The straight line for our city. The familiar “Cat-4” and “Cat-5.” And for those of us who thought we’d seen this before, the much-hoped-for right turn.

It didn’t matter. It hit. Even those who could read the tea leaves in John McPhee’s The Control of Nature or John Barry’s Rising Tide, or who had seen the diagrams of a bowl-shaped city, are in disbelief. New Orleans is gone, along with the newspaper where I work, the home where I live, my kids’ beloved school, my neighborhood snoball stand, my neighborhood anything.

On The Times-Picayune website and on cable news, I see my former home’s dark and distorted reflection: submerged rooftops; a battered Superdome filled with the desperate; looters grabbing guns and VCRs and racks of shirts; a house scrawled in red with “diabetic inside”; the breach in the levee.

The future is recited: a bowl of toxic stew. The gas, the sewage, the dead.

On the local news shows in south Louisiana, the crawl beneath the picture lists statewide evacuation centers in Rayne and Opelou-

Orleans peculiarly dark joie de vivre to such an extent that he dressed as the tsunami for this year’s Mardi Gras.

On the phone, he was blunt. “I don’t know if we’re going to have a practice to come back to,” he said. “What families will return to the city with their children?”

Other cities are mightier. Los Angeles, Chicago, New York. But New Orleans is where I wanted to make my home. I first hitchhiked to the city as a college dropout who wanted to hear jazz and see Mardi Gras. The ride I got was with a preacher who warned me about sin and temptation.

Just like every drunk tourist on Bourbon Street, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

Soon after, I heard zydeco and followed the blast of brass bands on the streets, and started writing about musicians who seemed like magicians, the way they could conjure a mood. I even covered Hurricane Andrew, drove straight toward it, fueled by recklessness and a USA Today day rate.

For the past 20 years, I have moved in and out of New Orleans. This last time, the

NEW ORLEANS EVACUEES

roots buried deep: job, house, family, school. Early notions of the city of good times were tempered by the closer looks at poverty, illiteracy and crime I obtained as editor of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative weekly.

Being a parent in the public school system brought me even closer.

Long before the rain started, New Orleans was a troubled city.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the hallowed ground of Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong, of Mardi Gras and jazz funerals that send off the dead with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t He Ramble?â&#x20AC;?

Of lesser-known purveyors of high spirits in bleak houses. I love New Orleans more than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever loved a particular place.

Most recently, I loved my neighborhood. Every morning, friends passed by our corner on their way to school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hurry up tying our shoes to join them.

Of the thousands who evacuated to the towns surrounding Lafayette, a handful are from my street. We fled on the buddy system and hooked up when we got here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met for pizza and seen ourselves in each other, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve drawn some comfort from that.

Now, as the TV news reports rising floodwaters and worse, it is becoming more difficult to speak to each other about our plans and how long we can hold on.

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told you about Katy Reckdahl. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staff writer I hired a couple years back, and she writes about the hardest-hit citizens of New Orleans, including those who put themselves on the trigger side of a gun. She cares about all kinds of people. She knows this city better than most, and I am better for having worked with her.

On Saturday, when I was driving my kids out, she was having her first child, a boy, in Touro Infirmary.

Last I heard, they were moving people from floor to floor in Touro, and will now be evacuating them, along with others stranded in hospitals with no air conditioning and sealed windows, generators running out of gas.

Where is Katy?

At The Times-Picayune website, stories like mine pile on top of each other. Looking for grandfather. Want to hear from my friend. What do you know?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to access pleas that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t online.

Meanwhile, the TV stations traffic in comparisons: a war zone, Hiroshima, the tsunami, a third-world refugee camp, 9/11. I try not to think like that, but Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dust Bowl Ballads keep coming to mind. He wrote them about another time

when the forces of man and nature sent refugees into America: â&#x20AC;&#x153;So long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good to know you.â&#x20AC;?

As I write, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of New Orleans is being swallowed up.

Gov. Kathleen Blanco â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose maternal concern has helped me through each day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is removing the last of us from the flooding city. The next journey belongs to the tens of thousands in the Superdome, now on to the Astrodome in a fleet of buses.

A couple hundred miles away, we have new household decisions to make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting pretty bored of not having school,â&#x20AC;? my 7-yearold daughter announced today. A week ago, her life was filled with first-day-of-school excitement.

Now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe a Catholic girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academy. The public schools are also taking in the children of New Orleans. My wife returned from a registration session, speaking through tears about the warmth and efficiency.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying with friends who just keep saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as long as it takes.â&#x20AC;? Last night, one of their neighbors showed up with smothered steak, rice and gravy, cabbage and sausage, and bread pudding. Another showed up >> 31A

The TV stations traffic in comparisons: a war zone, Hiroshima, the tsunami, a third-world refugee camp, 9/11. I try not to think like that, but Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dust Bowl ballads keep coming to mind. with margaritas.

Decisions. Maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-grade teacher, who evacuated to a nearby town, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll set up a home school. The Saturday we left, my daughter was in his classroom a block up the street, playing on the computers while he put together lesson plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to go to Mr. Reynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d beg every week until we relented. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those memories that seems untraceable now. It leads nowhere.

I also have a 4-year-old son.

Last night, we were unfolding our hide-a-bed and putting blankets on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you see this?â&#x20AC;? my wife said, holding a book heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made last month, before this hurricane had begun to form. He had drawn the pictures and recited the story, and my wife had taken his dictation. It was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miles and the Sun!â&#x20AC;? and it goes like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One spring day, Miles came out of his house in New Orleans.

The sun was happy to see Miles.

The sun was wearing sunglasses.

Miles moved to his new house and the sun got very very hot.

Now it was even hotter! A fearful wild storm came with lots of monsters. Luckily Miles wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in it. The water splashed all over it.â&#x20AC;?

The drawing for that last page was all deep, hard-pressed scribbles.

Last night, he sat on my lap and looked at the TV and the people walking through the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are those the people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t evacuate?â&#x20AC;? he asked, carefully enunciating his new word.

New Orleans is gone and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say when it will come back.

My neighborhood, my job, all of it might somehow return.

Yet I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what a rebuilt New Orleans will look like, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there for it. For now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living on the generosity of others.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a refugee. You never know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next. m

PROJECT CENSORED! Important stories ignored or underreported by mainstream media over the past year story: Camille T. Taiara illustrations: Jerry Dolezal

J

ust four days before the 2004 presidential election, a prestigious British medical journal published the results of a rigorous study by Dr. Les Roberts, a widely respected researcher. Roberts concluded that close to 100,000 people had died in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Most were noncombatant civilians. Many were children.

But that news didn’t make the front pages of the major newspapers. It wasn’t on the network news. So most voters knew little or nothing about the brutal civilian impact of President George W. Bush’s war when they went to the polls.

It’s just one of the big stories the mainstream news media ignored, blacked out or underreported over the past year, according to Project Censored, a media watchdog group based at California’s Sonoma State University.

Every year, project researchers scour the media looking for news that was never really recognized as such. The stories involve corporate misdeeds and governmental abuses that have been underreported, if not altogether ignored, says Sut Jhally, professor of communications at the University of Massachusetts and executive director of the Media Education Foundation. The results are published in a book — this year, it’s titled Censored 2006.

“If there were a real democratic press, these are the kinds of stories they would do,” says Jhally, who helped judge Project Censored’s top picks.

For the most part, he adds, “stories that affect the powerful don’t get reported by the corporate media.”

Can a story really be “censored” in the Internet age, when information from millions of sources whips around the world in a matter of seconds?

When a single obscure journal article can be distributed and discussed on hundreds of blogs and websites? When partisans from all sides dissect the mainstream media on the web every day?

Absolutely, says Jhally.

These “censored” stories aren’t literally censored, per se. Most can be found on the Internet if you know where to look. Some have even received a little ink in the mainstream press. “Censorship,” explains project director Peter Phillips, “is any interference with the free flow of information in society.” The stories highlighted by Project Censored simply haven’t received the kind of attention they warrant, and therefore haven’t made it into the greater public consciousness.

“The Internet is a great place to go if you already know that the mainstream media is heavily biased” and you actively search out sites on the outer limits of the web, Jhally notes. “Otherwise, it’s just another place where they try to sell you stuff. The challenge for a democratic society is how to get vital information not only at the margins but at the center of our culture.”

Admittedly, not every article or source Project Censored has cited over the years is completely credible; at least one this year is pretty shaky (see sidebar). But most of the stories that made the project’s top 10 were published by more reliable sources and included only verifiable information.

And Project Censored’s overall findings provide valuable insights into the kinds of issues the mainstream media should be paying closer attention to.

Here are the top 10.

1. Bush administration moves to eliminate open government While the Bush administration has expanded its ability to keep tabs on civilians, it’s been working to make sure the public — and even Congress — can’t find out what the government is doing.

One year ago, Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) released an 81-page analysis of how the administration has tweaked the country’s major open government laws. His report found that the feds consistently “narrowed the scope and application” of the Freedom of Information Act, the Presidential Records Act and other key public-information legislation, while expanding laws blocking access to certain records — even creating new categories of “protected” information and exempting entire departments from public scrutiny.

When those methods haven’t been enough, the Bush administration has simply refused to release records — even when the requester was a Congressional subcommittee or the Government Accountability Office, the study found. A few of the potentially incriminating documents Bush & Co. have refused to hand over to their colleagues on Capitol Hill include records of contacts between large energy companies and Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force; White House memos pertaining to Saddam Hussein’s “elusive” weapons of mass destruction; and reports describing torture at Abu Ghraib.

The report’s findings were so dramatic as to indicate “an unprecedented assault on the laws that make our government open and accountable,” Waxman said at a September 14, 2004, press conference announcing the report’s release.

Given the news media’s intrinsic interest in safeguarding open government laws, one would think it would be plenty motivated to publicize such findings far and wide.

However, most Americans are unaware of just how much more secretive — and autocratic — our leaders in the White House have become.

2. Media coverage fails on Iraq: Fallujah and the civilian death toll Decades from now, the civilized world may well look back on the assaults on Fallujah in April and November 2004 as examples of utter disregard for the most basic wartime rules of engagement.

Not long after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coalitionâ&#x20AC;? had embarked on its second offensive, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour called for an investigation into whether the Americans and their allies had engaged in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the deliberate targeting of civilians, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, the killing of injured persons, and the use of human shields,â&#x20AC;? among other possible â&#x20AC;&#x153;grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions . . . considered war crimesâ&#x20AC;? under federal law.

More than 83 percent of Fallujahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300,000 residents fled the city, according to two staffers with the American Friends Service Committee. Men between the ages of 15 and 45 were refused safe passage, and all who remained â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 50,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were treated as enemy combatants, according to an article by Mary Trotochaud and Rick McDowell in AFSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peacework magazine.

Numerous sources reported that coalition forces cut off water and electricity, seized the main hospital, shot at ambulances and anyone who ventured out into the open and executed families waving white flags. They spoke of raiding homes and killing people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand English, rolling over injured people with tanks, and allowing corpses to rot in the streets and be eaten by dogs.

Medical staff and others reported seeing people, dead and alive, with melted faces and limbs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; injuries consistent with the use of phosphorous bombs.

But you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any of this unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come across a rare report by an independent journalist, or known which obscure website to log onto for real information.

Of course, the media blackout extends far beyond Fallujah. The U.S. militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to keep an Iraqi death count has been mirrored by the mainstream media, which systematically dodges the question of how many Iraqi civilians have been killed.

Les Roberts, an investigator with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, snuck into Iraq in the back of an SUV and conducted a rigorous inquiry into pre- and post-invasion mortality there. The results were published in the Lancet, a prestigious peer-reviewed British medical journal, on October 29, 2004 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just four days prior to the U.S. presidential elections. Roberts and his team of observers (including researchers from Columbia University and from Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad) concluded that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the death toll associated with the invasion and occupation of Iraq is probably about 100,000 people, and may be much higher.â&#x20AC;?

The vast majority of those deaths resulted from violence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly, aerial bombardments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more than half of the fatalities were women or children, they found.

The State Department had relied heavily on studies by Roberts in the past. When, using similar techniques, he calculated in 2000 that about 1.7 million had died in the Congo as the result of almost two years of armed conflict, the news media picked up the story, the United Nations more than doubled its request for aid for the Congo, and the United States pledged an additional $10 million.

This time, the response was silence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the occasional critique dismissing Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; report. No major television news show ever mentioned it.

3. Another year of distorted election coverage Project Censored foretold the potential for electoral wrongdoing in the 2004 presidential campaign: The “sale of electoral politics” was No. 6 on last year’s list. The mainstream media had largely ignored the evidence that electronic voting machines were susceptible to tampering, as well as political alliances between the machine manufacturers and the Republican Party.

Then came November 2, 2004.

Bush prevailed by 3 million votes — despite exit polls that clearly projected Kerry winning by a margin of 5 million.

In These Times reported “Exit polls are highly accurate” in an article by Steve Freeman, professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Organizational Dynamics, and Temple University statistician Josh Mitteldorf. “They remove most of the sources of potential polling error by identifying actual voters and asking them immediately afterward who they had voted for.”

The 8-million-vote discrepancy was well beyond the poll’s recognized, less-than-1-percent margin of error. And when Freeman and Mitteldorf analyzed the data collected by the two companies that conducted the polls, they found concrete evidence of potential fraud in the official count.

“Only in precincts that used old-fashioned, hand-counted paper ballots did the official count and the exit polls fall within the normal sampling margin of error,” they wrote. And “the discrepancy between the exit polls and the official count was considerably greater in the critical swing states.”

Inconsistencies were so much more marked in African-American communities as to renew calls for racial equity in our voting system. “It is now time to make counting that vote a right, not just casting it, before Jim Crow rides again in the next election,” wrote Rev. Jesse Jackson and Greg Palast in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

4. Surveillance society quietly moves in It’s a well-known dirty trick in the halls of government: If you want to pass unpopular legislation that you know won’t stand up to scrutiny, just wait until the public isn’t looking. That’s precisely what the Bush administration did on December 13, 2003 — the day American troops captured Saddam Hussein.

Bush celebrated the occasion by privately signing into law the Intelligence Authorization Act — a controversial expansion of the PATRIOT Act that included items culled from the shelved “Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003.”

Specifically, the IAA allows the government to obtain an individual’s financial records without a court order. The law also makes it illegal for institutions to inform anyone that the government has requested those records, or that information has been shared with the authorities.

“The law also broadens the definition of ‘financial institution’ to include insurance companies, travel and real-estate agencies, stockbrokers, the U.S. Postal Service, jewelry stores, casinos, airlines, car dealerships and any other business ‘whose cash transactions have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax or regulatory matters,’” warned Nikki Swartz in the Information Management Journal. According to Swartz, the definition is now so broad that it could plausibly be used to access even school transcripts or medical records.

“In one fell swoop, this act has decimated our rights to privacy, due process and freedom of speech,” wrote Anna Samson Miranda in an article for LiP magazine titled “Grave New World” that documented the ways in which the government already employs high-tech, private industry and everyday citizens as part of a vast web of surveillance.

Miranda warned, “If we are too busy, distracted or apathetic to fight government and corporate >> 36A

The American people reacted to the Indian Ocean tsunami last December with an outpouring of compassion and private donations. Across the nation, neighbors rallied to collect food, clothing, medicines and financial contributions.

Schoolchildren completed class projects to help the cause.

Unfortunately, the U.S. government didn’t demonstrate the same level of altruism.

President Bush initially offered an embarrassingly low $15 million in aid, but Project Censored found the U.S. government also used the catastrophe to establish a stronger military presence in the area.

The United States currently operates a base out of Diego Garcia — a former British mandate in

the Chagos Archipelago about halfway between Africa and Indonesia, but the lease runs out in 2016. The isle is also “remote and Washington is desperate for an alternative,” wrote veteran Indian journalist Rahul Bedi.

A better situated base would help the United States keep closer tabs on China — which, thanks to its burgeoning economic and military muscle, has emerged as one of this country’s greatest potential rivals. It could also fortify an important military launching ground and help consolidate control over potentially lucrative trade routes.

“Consequently, in the name of relief, the U.S. revived the Utapao military base in Thailand it had used during the Vietnam War,” Bedi reported. It also “reactivated its military cooperation agreements with Thailand and the Visiting Forces Agreement with the Philippines,” Last February, the State Department reestablished ties with the notoriously vicious and corrupt Indonesian government — although humanrights observers charged its military with withholding “food and other relief from civilians suspected of supporting the secessionist insurgency, the Free Aceh Movement,” Jim Lobe reported for the Inter Press Service.

Sources: “U.S. Turns Tsunami into Military Strategy,” Jane’s Foreign Report, February 15, 2005; “U.S. Has Used Tsunami to Boost Aims in Stricken Area,” Rahul

Last year, right-wingers in Congress began kicking up a fuss about how the United Nations had allegedly allowed Saddam Hussein to rake in $10 billion in illegal cash through the Oil for Food program. Headlines screamed scandal. New York Times columnist William Safire referred to the alleged U.N. con game as “the richest rip-off in world history.”

The initial accusations, based on a General Accounting Office report released in April 2004, were later bolstered by a more detailed report commissioned by the CIA. According to the GAO, Hussein smuggled $6 billion worth of oil out of Iraq — most of it through the Persian Gulf. At the time, the U.N. fleet charged with intercepting any such smugglers was under direct command of American officers, and consisted overwhelmingly of U.S. Navy ships.

In 2001, for example, 90 of its vessels belonged to the United States, while Britain contributed only four, Joy Gordon wrote in a December article for Harper’s magazine.

Most of the oil that left Iraq by land did so through Jordan and Turkey — with the approval

of the United States. The first Bush administration informally exempted Jordan from the ban on purchasing Iraqi oil — an arrangement that provided Hussein with $4.4 billion over 10 years, according to the CIA’s own findings. The United States later allowed Iraq to leak another $710 million worth of oil through Turkey — “all while U.S. planes enforcing no-fly zones flew overhead,” Gordon wrote.

Scott Ritter, a U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq during the first six years of economic sanctions against the country, unearthed yet another scam: The United States allegedly allowed an oil company run by Russian foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov’s sister to purchase cheap oil from Iraq and resell it to U.S. companies at market value — purportedly earning Hussein “hundreds of millions” more.

“It has been estimated that 80 percent of the oil illegally smuggled out of Iraq under ‘oil for food’ ended up in the United States,” Ritter wrote in the U.K. Independent.

Last year was the deadliest year for reporters since the International Federation of Journalists began keeping tabs in 1984. A total of 129 media workers lost their lives. Forty-nine of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than a third â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were killed in Iraq.

In short, nonembedded journalists have now become familiar victims of U.S. military actions abroad. The Pentagon has refused to implement basic safeguards to protect journalists who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embedded with coalition forces, despite repeated requests by Reuters and media advocacy organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as anyone has yet proved, no commanding officer ever ordered a subordinate to fire on journalists as such,â&#x20AC;? Steve Weissman wrote in an update for Censored 2006. But what can be shown is a pattern of tacit complicity, in partnership with a heavy-handed campaign to curb the rights of journalists to roam freely.

The U.S. military exonerated the army of any wrongdoing in its now-infamous attack on the Palestine Hotel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, as the Pentagon knew, functioned as headquarters for about 100 media workers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when coalition forces rolled into Baghdad on April 8, 2003.

To date, U.S. authorities have not disciplined a single officer or soldier involved in the killing of a journalist, according to Project Censored.

Meanwhile, the interim government the United States installed in Iraq raided and closed down Al-Jazeera’s Baghdad offices almost as soon as it took power and banned the network from doing any reporting in the country. In November the interim government ordered news organizations to “stick to the government line on the U.S.-led offensive in Fallujah or face legal action,” in an official command sent out on interim prime minister Eyad Allawi’s letterhead and quoted in a November report by independent reporter Dahr Jamail.

Both American and interim government forces detained numerous journalists in and around Fallujah that month, often holding them for days.

8. Iraqi farmers threatened

by Bremer’s mandates

Women’s Expo, September 10th, 10 am - 3 pm

Historians believe humans first learned to farm in the “fertile crescent” of Mesopotamia, where Iraq now lies. “It is here, in around 8500 or 8000 B.C., that mankind first domesticated wheat, here that agriculture was born,” wrote Jeremy Smith in the Ecologist.

This entire time, “Iraqi farmers have been naturally selecting wheat varieties that work best with their climate . . . and crosspollinated them with others with different strengths.

“The U.S., however, has decided that, despite 10,000 years practice, Iraqis don’t know what wheat works best in their own conditions.”

Smith was referring to Order 81, one of 100 directives penned

by L. Paul Bremer III, who was then the U.S. administrator in Iraq. The regulation sets criteria for the patenting of seeds that can only be met by multinational companies such as Monsanto or Syngenta, and it grants the patent holder exclusive rights over every aspect of all plant products yielded by those seeds. Because of naturally occurring cross-pollination, the new scheme effectively launches a process whereby Iraqi farmers will soon have to purchase their seeds rather than using those saved from their own crops or bought at the local market.

Native varieties will be replaced by foreign — and genetically engineered — seeds, and Iraqi agriculture will become more vulnerable to disease as biological diversity is lost.

Texas A&M University, which brags that its agriculture program is a “world leader” in the use of biotechnology, has already embarked on a $107 million project to “re-educate” Iraqi farmers to grow industrial-sized harvests, for export, using American seeds.

On TomPaine.com, Greg Palast identified Order 81 as one of several authored by Bremer that fit nicely into the outlines of a U.S. “Economy Plan,” a 101-page blueprint for the economic makeover of Iraq, formulated with ample help from corporate lobbyists. Palast reported that someone inside the State Department leaked the plan to him a month prior to the invasion.

Smith put it simply: “The people whose forefathers first mastered the domestication of wheat will now have to pay for the privilege of growing it for someone else. And with that the world’s oldest farming heritage will become just another subsidiary link in the vast American supply chain.”

Sources: “Iraq’s New Patent Law: A Declaration of War Against Farmers,” Focus on the Global South and Grain, Grain, October 2004; “Adventure Capitalism,” Greg Palast, www.tompaine.com, October 26, 2004; “U.S. Seeking to Totally Re-engineer Iraqi Traditional Farming System into a U.S.-Style Corporate Agribusiness,” Jeremy Smith, Ecologist, February 4, 2005.

9. Iran’s new oil trade system challenges U.S. currency The Bush administration has been paying a lot more attention to Iran recently. Part of that interest is clearly Iran’s nuclear program — but there may be more to the story. One bit of news that hasn’t received the public vetting it merits is Iran’s declared intent to open an international oil-exchange market, or “bourse.”

Not only would the new entity compete against the New York Mercantile Exchange and London’s International Petroleum Exchange (both owned by American corporations), but it would also ignite international oil trading in euros.

“A shift away from U.S. dollars to euros in the oil market would cause the demand for petrodollars to drop, perhaps causing the value of the dollar to plummet,” Brian Miller and Celeste Vogler of Project Censored wrote in Censored 2006.

expressed interest in moving towards a petroeuro system,” he said.

And it isn’t entirely implausible that China, which is “the world’s second-largest holder of U.S. currency reserves,” might eventually follow suit.

Although China, as a major exporter of goods to the United States, has a vested interest in helping shore up the American economy and has even linked its own currency, the yuan, to the dollar, it has also become increasingly dependent on Iranian oil and gas.

“Barring a U.S. attack, it appears imminent that Iran’s eurodominated oil bourse will open in March 2006,” Miller and Vogler continued. “Logically, the most appropriate U.S. strategy is compromise with the EU and OPEC towards a dual-currency system for international oil trades.”

You won’t hear any discussion of that alternative on the six o’clock news.

10. Mountaintop removal threatens ecosystem and economy On August 15, environmental activists created a human blockade by locking themselves to drilling equipment, obstructing the National Coal Corp.’s access to a strip mine in the Appalachian mountains 40 miles north of Knoxville. It was the latest move in a protracted campaign environmentalists insist has national implications but that has been ignored by the media outside the immediate area.

Under contention is a technique wherein entire mountaintops are removed using explosives to access the coal underneath. The practice, which is devastating for the local ecosystem, could become much more widespread.

As it stands, 93 new coal plants are in the works nationwide, according to Project Censored’s findings. “Areas incredibly rich in biodiversity are being turned into the biological equivalent of parking lots,” wrote John Conner of the Katúah branch of Earth First!

— which has been throwing all its energies into direct-action campaigns to block the project — in Censored 2006. “It is the final solution for 200-million-year-old mountains.”

CENSORED — OR BOGUS? Some stories get ignored by the mainstream media because they’re too controversial, or too much of a challenge to the rich and powerful, or just too hot to handle.

But some stories get dismissed because they’re just not credible — and unfortunately, one of the pieces Project Censored cites this year appears to fall into that category.

Almost everything on the Project Censored list is well sourced and, at the very least, plausible. But one of the stories listed under “Surveillance society quietly moves in” (#4) is a piece titled, “Where Big Brother Snoops on Americans 24/7.” Written by Teresa Hampton and Doug Thompson, the piece was published on www.capitolhillblue.com, a Virginia website that’s been around since 1994.

The piece makes some pretty spectacular allegations. Hampton and Thompson claim not only that the Pentagon is defying Congress and covertly operating the notorious Total Information Awareness program (which Congress explicitly killed), but also that the feds now monitor “virtually every financial transaction of every American,” in real time — that is, as it’s happening. They also maintain that the Pentagon uses the information to launch investigations of “persons of interest” and as a basis for adding names to the Transportation Security Administration’s “no fly” lists.

It’s pretty far-fetched to think that the Pentagon could run an operation so vast as to review almost every financial transaction in the country, as it happens. But beyond that, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed two suits against the feds trying to pinpoint just how it collates TSA’s “no fly” lists and still hasn’t been able to figure it out.

The principal sources Hampton and Thompson base their story on seem to be an anonymous “security consultant who worked on the . . . project” and an “Allen Banks” — someone identified simply as a “security expert” without any detail as to who he is or how he would be privy to such information.

Thompson, who is the site’s publisher, defended the accuracy of the story, saying that he’d spoken with “over 30 sources” — police, banks, credit-card agencies — and that he reached his conclusions based on those sources as well as on the fact that there were “too many coincidences.” (None of that is explained in the story.)

“To some extent,” he added, “it was a conclusion by me, looking at the links.” Banks and other private industries had been instructed to email data to the feds under TIA, and they continued sending data to the same places after TIA was killed because they never received orders to stop, Thompson said. His caveat: “If I had to go into court and prove this, there’s no way I could prove it.”

We’re still dubious.

Sweater Girl Leslie Hall brings her off-beat bling to Burlington

or Leslie Hall, beauty is in the eye of the BeDazzler. Remember them? They’re crafty plastic stapler-like gizmos from the 1970s that affix rhinestones and metal studs to fabric.

Hall, a 23-year-old Iowa native who graduated last spring from the School of the Museum of STORY Fine Arts, Boston, is a devotee. She particularCATHY RESMER ly loves to admire and collect BeDazzled sweaters, or mass-produced gem sweaters of any kind.

And seek it they do, but not because of the sweaters themselves; it’s what Hall does with them that’s so fascinating. After all, gem sweaters are sort of, well, tacky. They’re the kind of thing you see on desperate old ladies plunking quarters into slot machines, thin fingers of ash dangling from their cigarettes. Gem sweaters are the uniform of losers.

And honestly, Hall kind of looks like a loser. She wears big glasses and has big hair and a big, doughy bod. She almost never smiles, but glares at the camera from beneath heavy eyelids tinted with blue eye shadow, and always sports a pair of skin-tight gold pants that show off her ample thighs. This makes her look less like an art-school grad than like a nerdy, heavyset girl from your high school class.

Ironically, this extreme dorkiness is precisely what makes Hall so irresistibly cool. Call it the Napoleon Dynamite effect. The 2004 indie film, about an oddball Idaho teenager who

Show” shot footage of them recently.

This weekend, Vermonters can see and feel the real thing. Hall is bringing her best sweaters — as well as her hip-hop band, Leslie and the Ly’s — to Burlington for the South End Art Hop. She’s driving here from her parents’ home in Ames, in an RV she bought on eBay in May. Hall and her family spent the last month converting the vehicle into the world’s first Mobile Gem Sweater Museum.

She plans to unveil it here; Burlington is the first stop on her nationwide Project Gems Tour of America.

“I am traveling all over America rescuing Gem Sweaters and spreading Gem Sweater Awareness,” Hall announces in the short but colorful press release for her September 9 show. “I use the power of hip-hop music and photography to display and showcase the lovely sweaters for what they are, true works of art.

My collection of 150 Gem Sweaters brings the art of lady wear and tender crafts to all who seek it.”

helps his friend Pedro run for class prez, became an instant cult classic. High school kids began quoting from it, and before long, shirts emblazoned with “Vote for Pedro” started popping up everywhere.

Hall’s work is similarly contagious. It makes you want to run to the local thrift store and buy a gem sweater, or at least send all your friends the link to her website.

That’s how Joseph Peila happened upon Hall a year ago. He’s the curator of 47Sanctuary, Burlington’s urban hipster gallery sponsored by Jager Di Paola Kemp Design, which is showing her work. Peila found Hall’s website through an email from a friend, who had forwarded it to so many people that Peila mistook the message for spam.

The curator checked out the link anyway and saw the sweater photos. “I thought, ‘I gotta get this woman,’” he recalls.

It wasn’t just Hall’s photos that impressed him. Peila was struck by her music, too. Her band, Leslie and the Ly’s, recently released

SEVEN DAYS | september 07-14, 2005 | feature 43A

their debut CD Gold Pants, featuring the pop anthem “Gem Sweater.” The music itself is nothing special — Hall actually lifted it from DIY music-producing software she got for free when she bought her computer — it’s her lyrics that dazzle. “Keeper of the gems I am,” she sings, “with the power to rock your body as I gem. Can you feel me flowing inside your skull? I am a razorball of lightning, striking your mind.”

Hall claims to be mystified about why people connect with her art the way they do. “Maybe it’s because everyone’s from the Midwest,” she muses during a phone interview from Iowa. “Or maybe it’s my double chin. People can’t get enough of my double chin.”

The Gem Keeper speaks openly of her realistic proportions. She says she took dancing lessons as a kid, and dreamed of being a conventional superstar. “But I was just a hungry girl,” she says wistfully, “so I’m going with Plan B.”

Hall has left the RV’s beds intact, so she and her mom can sleep in them on their way to Burlington.

But also, Hall notes, “so that people can get a glimpse of how the true Keeper of the Gems sleeps.”

It’s hard to tell if she’s joking. She won’t admit to it, and do you really want to know? It’s much more fun to believe in the Sweaterologist, who in the song “Rapper’s Destiny” issues a warning to the rappers of the world.

“The first lady of hip-hop is here,” she boasts. “A deer in headlights, I see your fear. My mind is made up and my voice is heard. I’m about to flush ya down, ya turd.”

A video for the song — viewable free at http://www.atomfilms.com — shows the self-described “pleasantly plump” provocateur gyrating wildly while wearing black bejeweled pullovers and her trademark pants.

Over the past few months the short film, and another, called “Beat Dazzler,” have become minor Internet sensations, forwarded along by thousands of fans who find Hall both brilliant and infectiously funny. Her performance is so overthe-top that it’s impossible not to laugh. She clearly wants you to.

“Do you see me now?” she asks, “I’m like a fireball . . . with these shoulder pads I have the strength to destroy villages, homes and crops.”

Peila is nearly speechless when he tries to describe her. He calls her work “dork art,” for lack of a better term. “There’s just nothing out there like her,” he says. “She’s hilarious.”

In the last few days before her tour, that has involved a trip to Hobby Lobby, where she picked up 30 bags of rhinestones for her tour, in case anyone needs some “emergency BeDazzling.” Preparation has been hard work. “I’m going to write a hell of a memoir on how to make your own Gem Sweater museum,” she confides.

Hall has gutted her RV, taking out the bathroom and the kitchen to install the sweater gallery, which includes a large rack her father fashioned from garage-door parts. She explains that the sweaters will hang from it, allowing museum visitors to flip through them “like pages in a giant Gem Sweater bible.” Her very first sweater, “Blue Bunny Patch,” which she bought from a Goodwill store in 1999 for just $3.99, will be on display under glass.

The voyeuristically inclined will want to check out The 7 Deadly Sins, a multimedia theater extravaganza cooked up by local stage gurus Seth Jarvis and Shawn Lipenski. That performance takes place at Club Metronome at 8 p.m., followed by the way-back grooves of Retronome. Live music lovers can get their fix downstairs at the Decade Dance, which kicks off at Nectar’s at 6 p.m. Featuring Seth Yacovone, the Funk Collection and pop-rock hooligans

The Jazz Guys, it promises to be one frisky shindig. A single cover charge gets you into both venues, so stop by and give us a proper B-day spanking.

SEVEN DAYS

soundbites FIRST TIMER Although I try to hear as much local music as possible, it seems that fate conspires to keep me from seeing certain bands no matter how many times I try. Often there’s a conflicting gig that I’m already going to, but set time switcheroos and double bookings are occasionally to blame.

Last Thursday, I finally got to check out a few of these elusive performers. First up was a 1/2 Lounge set from Burlington piano ’n’ vocal chanteuse Marie Claire. Lord knows I’m a sucker for drinks with flowers in ’em, so I was fully committed to seeing her show. Not even demolition derby at the fair could make me budge.

Claire’s strong pipes and perky pop songs are engaging and fun, and so is her coy stage demeanor. But there’s a dark center to the sweet candy shell: Her tunes are mostly firstperson tales of romantic tragedy that possess enough desolate sentiment to make Leonard Cohen cry. While Claire’s vocal flutters and scalar runs are occasionally over the top, they’re delivered without an ounce of irony. Even her cover of Britney Spears’ chart-burner “Hit Me Baby One More Time” sounded completely sincere. Well, far more than Britney did, anyway. Claire’s heartfelt compositions and confident execution definitely make an impression.

Down the street at Club Metronome, indie-rock individualist Aquadora was celebrating his CD release party with a little help from Akrasia, Nest Material and Spatial Guest.

Ah, more opportunities for musical discovery.

I was told that this was a reunion gig for post-rockers Spatial Guest, but I’d never even heard of them prior to this show. Theirs was a very well paced performance of the “crescendo rock” variety — you know, one part Cancer Conspiracy, two parts Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Why does Burlington birth so many instrumental trios? There’s got to be something in the water.

For those who’ve never seen him live, Aquadora plays bass and drums and sings at the same time. It’s certainly a trip to watch him perform; he’s not only a fine drummer, but his one-handed bass technique has inspired me to learn how to type with my feet. Vocally, however, he’s hit-and-miss.

While many of his melodies are terrific, others veer a little too far out of his range. But lest we forget: He plays bass and drums at the same time!

All said and done, it was a pretty fun night. And it always feels good to cross something off my musical “to do” list.”

REVEREND NATHAN BRADY CRAIN

HOP TO IT It’s time for the annual South End Art Hop again and, as usual, there’s a ton of stuff to see and hear. Seven Days won’t be a Hop site this year; we’ve got our hands full with our birthday bash at Nectar’s and Club Metronome on September 10. But don’t worry — there’s so much going on, you’ll hardly miss us. Here’s a quick rundown of just some of the musical attractions in the neighborhood, all of which take place on Friday night.

Local experimental pop mastermind Sean Altrui will play a 6 p.m. set with avant-garde clarinetist Sarah Paule Kohler at the E1 Studio Collective, which is located at 416 Pine Street behind Speeder & Earl’s. Right around the corner in the Green Door Studio, Charles, Dead or Alive?, Greg Davis & Nest Material drone, rock and shimmer at 8. I’m a fan of all three acts, and it’s cool to see them on the same bill. Recycle North is presenting some live music as well.

New York-based progressive pop-metal group 3 will light up the Building Materials Center at 7:30, while the Household Goods Store hosts folk-rock heroes The Warrens at 6:30.

Vermont’s own dance-friendly salsa act Grupo Sabor will perform at 8 p.m. in the Great Harvest Bread Company/Fresh Market parking lot on Pine St., following Iowa’s gemsweater-wearing femme fatales Leslie & the Ly’s. If you’ve yet to experience the spandex wonder that is Leslie, point your browser to http://www.atomfilms.com/af/content/ leslie_gem_sweater to watch one of the oddest music videos I’ve ever seen. I guarantee you’ll be hooked.

It all sounds mighty fun, but make sure to conserve some energy for the Seven Days shindig the following night. You wouldn’t want to miss that, now, would you?

NASTY BOY Vermont’s scatological singer-songwriter, the Reverend Nathan Brady Crain, has built his reputation on blue humor and down-home acoustic music. His legendary “dirty show” is a barrage of potty-mouthed poetry and proper pickin.’ He’ll be appearing at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Saturday, September 10, in an “Rrated” performance with fellow funnyfolk Lisa Nagle, Josie Leavitt and Jason Lorber. The show will be recorded for an upcoming CD/DVD release, so if you go, feel free to heckle. Loudly. I recently chatted with the ever-witty Crain about the big gig and his way with the ladies.

First of all, is he really a reverend? “I’m from the First Church of the Last Laugh,” Crain fired back when asked about his ecclesiastical authority. “Actually, I’m a minister with Universal Life Church. It’s pretty easy do, and it’s legal in most states.” This means that in addition to administering last rites, he can officiate weddings. “Well, I can’t do it in New York and Nevada unless I have a congregation of 20 people, but around here it’s free and easy,” he explains. Only 20 people? You could round that up at McDonald’s.

While Crain’s show is high on humor, it’s definitely not for kiddies. “I think the phrase ‘hanging my balls out and playing a dirty show’ pretty much sums up the experience,” he claims. “It’s wildly politically incorrect, particularly regarding relationships, sexual politics and drugs and alcohol.” According to Crain, his performances have a strong effect on his audience, particularly its female members. While Tom Jones-style worship sometimes occurs while Crain is onstage, much of the fan adoration “takes 1x4-onehalfWEEKLY 9/5/05 1:39 PM Page 1 place in the tent revivals backstage after the show.” Hmm, I wonder if my press credentials will get me in?

HELPING HANDS Guitar legend Paul Asbell has a special connection to blues, jazz and gospel music, much of which originated in and was nurtured by the city of New Orleans. The devastation left by Hurricane Katrina continues to be felt not only by the city’s displaced inhabitants but by those who prize the city’s rich cultural heritage.

In order to do his part for the Big Easy, Asbell has decided to transform his September 9 gig at Montpelier’s Black Door Bar & Bistro into a hurricane-relief benefit. The show costs $12 and kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Call 223-7070 or visit http://www.paulasbell.com for more information.

Mike Doughty has kept a low pro-

file, escaping music-biz pressures by self-releasing CDs and touring solo. Now the brainy tunesmith is ready to step back into the limelight. His new record, Haughty Melodic, boasts a full band, and there’s even a guest appearance from college-rock kingpin Dave Matthews.

With colorful tunes ranging from the melancholy to the gently psychedelic, the record should open a new chapter in Doughty’s quirky career. Hear him this Friday in UVM’s North Billings Lounge.

reviewthis THE NEW DEAL, GONE GONE GONE

MINIMUS, MINIMUS. EP

(Sound & Light, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

Over the past decade, jam-rock has dominated college campuses across America. In that same time, The New Deal have proven one of the most consistently engaging acts around. From their beginnings as heady, downtempo groovesters to their reinvention as a strobe-lights-and-disco dance band, the Canadian trio comprising bassist Dan Kurtz, drummer Darren Shearer and keyboardist Jamie Shields have managed to steer clear of the dead ends that cornered other improv bands.

The group’s bristling electronic music is performed within a “traditional” live context. While “organica” is often remarkable only for its kitsch value, The New Deal are not gimmicky. This is largely due to their sophisticated interplay, which allows for a remarkably fluid dynamic. Accomplished stage performers, the band members craft crystalline grooves that bounce and pop with the point-and-click perfection generated by a laptop tweaker. In fact, The New Deal are so obsessed with detail, they hardly seem human. Still, with their vibrant sound and contagious energy, this is one electronica act that isn’t boring live.

TND’s latest, Gone Gone Gone, presents a logical, and necessary, sonic evolution. On a superficial level, the disc offers a string of 13 sweaty dance-floor epics. Yet a closer listen reveals a layered, varied album unlike any the band has previously released. Three-minute opener “Intro” is a bleary-eyed blend of acid-jazz piano and airy harmonies paced at a deliciously stoned saunter. “I Feel Love” oozes honey-thick bass, countered by cheesy, robotic vocals. Fellow Canuck Leslie Feist of Broken Social Scene fame adds her misty vocals and irresistible charm to the future-funk shimmy “Don’t Blame Yourself.” “Episode 7” is James Bond music composed for the 21st century — a high-gloss dose of electro-noir.

The band loses its footing occasionally, such as on the yawner “Homewrecker.” The tune is lackluster at best; its soggy jam-jazz is akin to the work of far less talented peers. Still, the Deal redeem themselves with the spicy closing cut “Senza Te,” which features vocals by Martina Sorbara. Songs like this make it damn near impossible not to be won over by The New Deal’s latest space odyssey. Hear them live on Thursday, September 8, at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

Progressive metallers Minimus are one of Vermont’s under-the-radar hard-rock acts, but that status might change with the release of their latest eponymous EP. Comprising most of the members of local “smartcore” legends Five Seconds Expired, the band’s biomechanical rhythms and twisting riffs stand out among the atonal thrashers crowding the underground. Loaded with impressive musicianship, Minimus features hypnotically heavy grooves that will wow head bangers and math geeks alike.

Drummer Gary Williams is in his usual fine form, serving up precision tom blasts and snare cracks in an aggressive marriage of intensity and discipline. Guitarist Josh Cooper maintains a steady supply of stun-gun riffs that run from the sludgy to the serpentine. Vocalist Shaun Varney has long handled bass duties for the band, but here he takes a break from the low end to concentrate on singing. While his performances are solid, he hasn’t fully adjusted to the new role.

There are a mere three tunes on this disc, but they each pack plenty of wallop. Opener “Man” strides forward with a stinging guitar figure before settling into a riff that brims with calculated fury. Cooper’s Rush-esque arpeggios in the track’s mid-section create tension while pulling the listener further into the group’s sonic web.

The production is strong, too; every instrument is well represented, with equal emphasis given to the vocals. My only complaint is that some of the arrangements overstay their welcome. Bands such as Tool have mastered the art of hypno-metal, but Minimus have yet to perfect their own version.

“Rising” opens with a gently sinister bass line, augmented by sustained guitar notes that coil around the main figure like electric tendrils. Unfortunately, one of the riffs is disturbingly similar to Soundgarden’s “Outshined.” So similar, in fact, that I wonder how the band failed to notice. The song finds its bearings soon enough, however, before closing in a hailstorm of double-time drums and frenetic guitar work.

The EP’s final track, “Say,” is probably the most solid composition here. Featuring a relentless central riff that scuttles like a robotic spider, the song makes its menacing presence known before ending abruptly.

In a town where jam, funk and jazz comprise the lion’s share of most people’s musical diets, Minimus are a refreshing change of pace. Here’s hoping they manage to cough up a full-length in the near future.

< film> <filmclips>

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS AN UNFINISHED LIFE: Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez star in this Western with a heart, about a grieving father who rustles up new hope when the granddaughter he never knew he had comes to stay.

(100 min, PG-13) THE ARISTOCRATS: Jason Alexander, Lewis Black, Eric Idle, Phyllis Diller and Bob Saget are just a few of the comedians who tell variations on the same joke — purportedly the dirtiest in history — in this one-of-a-kind documentary from directors Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza. (86 min, NR) THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE: Scott Derrickson directs this fact-based account of a Catholic priest tried for negligence in the death of a college freshman the church had officially recognized as being possessed. With Tom Wilkinson, Laura Linney and Jennifer Carpenter. (114 min, PG-13) THE MAN: Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy (two names I never thought I’d see in the same sentence) team up for this comedy about a federal agent and a dental-supply salesman who mistakenly wind up working together on a sting operation.

Costarring Miguel Ferrer. Directed by Les Mayfield. (84 min, PG-13)

The Constant Gardener HHHH

N FIENNES ART The Gardener star gives perhaps the most elegant and understated performance of his career.

either Rachel Weisz nor Ralph Fiennes has done better work on screen than they do in Fernando (City of God) Meirelles’ stylish, timely and engaging adaptation of John Le Carre’s bestseller. Equal parts political thriller and love story, The Constant Gardener provides an exceptionally high note on which to end the summer movie season.

The picture tells the story of a mild-mannered diplomat whose career in the British High Commission has effectively stalled out at about mid-level. We’re never quite sure what it is that Fiennes’ character does during the work day (an element of James Bondness is hinted at), just that he spends a good deal of his time after hours tending his plants, shrubs and flowers, and is often deeply lost in thought.

He’s reserved, self-contained and slightly awkward — this close to being a secret-service nerd. Weisz’s character hits his quiet life with the force of a hurricane. She’s a beautiful firebrand AIDS activist whose outspokenness — once the two have married and moved to Africa — frequently threatens to compromise her husband’s standing in the department.

At a party early in the film, she causes a scene by confronting the operator of a clinic and accusing him of pocketing funds intended for upgraded medical equipment. “If you can’t control her,” he’s advised only half-jokingly by his best friend (Danny Huston), “maybe you should keep her at home.” The husband’s reaction is to grin and shrug his shoulders. He’s unable to conceive of any man not being as charmed as he is, and he little suspects the role his wife’s brazenness will play in both their fates.

The Brazilian director unfolds his story in nonlinear fashion and introduces the viewer to an Africa that, for the most part, has evaded movie cameras until now. Anyone who takes in its scenes of squalor, overcrowded living conditions and substandard government medical care will shudder to contemplate a country in which most of the people live their entire lives under conditions worse than those the trapped citizens of New Orleans have had to endure this past week.

The characters Fiennes and Weisz play have contrasting reactions to the poverty and bureaucratic corruption they

encounter in Kenya. The husband takes the view that one can’t save the world. His wife, at one point, begs him to pull over and offer a lift to a couple she knows will have to walk through the night to reach their home. “These are two people,” she pleads, “we can help.”

She pays the ultimate price for her compassion. Having discovered that a pharmaceutical company is using its AIDS treatment program as a cover for the testing of an experimental drug that proves to have deadly side effects, she reports her findings to the proper authorities and is promptly raped, murdered and dumped by the side of a deserted stretch of road.

Fiennes is left to piece together the puzzle of her death, and of her life. The more he learns about her, the less it seems he really knew her. He uncovers evidence of a possible affair. And then another. The more he discovers about her efforts to expose the drug producer’s criminal practices, the less it seems he really knows the people he works with every day. After all, the report his wife wrote just before her murder wasn’t sent to the press or a human rights organization. It was sent to Fiennes’ superiors.

The Constant Gardener may be the most artistically shot, hiply scored, quietly acted and unhurried political thriller ever to come out of Hollywood. Fiennes turns in a performance that’s a wonder of understatement. The dialogue in Jeffrey Caine’s literate, frequently witty script makes the dialogue in most films sound like it was scribbled by high school students taking English as a second language. And Le Carre’s source material provides one of the least predictable movie-going experiences in years.

As the final scenes approach, audience members will likely check their watches and wonder when the duped Brit will reach his boiling point, pull out the automatic weapons, and open a can of whoop-ass on the bastards behind his wife’s death. The righteous bloodbath is a given of the genre. But Le Carre and Meirelles give it a pass.

More than just an uncommonly elegant entertainment, this work of fiction is lent weight and emotional force by the facts on which it is predicated. The most tragic part of the story is that so much of it is true. m

SHORTS BATMAN BEGINSHHH Christian Bale stars in Memento director Christopher Nolan’s exploration of the caped crusader’s origins and emergence as a force for good in the city of Gotham.

Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy costar.

OPENINGS

On the Right Path

T EXHIBIT “Exposed!

2005,” an annual outdoor sculpture exhibit featuring 21 regional artists. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe.

Through October 15.

ARTWORK “Grounded”

by Shannon Matthew Long

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he old painter’s dig that “sculpture is what one walks around to get to the paintings” certainly doesn’t apply to the Helen Day Art Center’s annual outdoor sculpture show, “Exposed!”

The exhibition is mounted along meandering (though handicap-accessible) paths that are worth traversing in their own right. And the sculptures to be discovered there this year are among the best outdoor works in Vermont. Twenty artists were accepted for the 2005 show; their aesthetic approaches include figurative, abstract and earth art in a variety of media.

Earth art, perhaps best exemplified

by Robert Smithson’s monumental “Spiral Jetty” of 1970, is about altering nature without overt environmental degradation, while sculpturally reconnecting society and landscape.

Montpelier artist Peter Harris transforms dead trees into such earthworks, and his contributions to “Exposed!” are always a highlight of the show. His “Re-Forest I” is a deceased deciduous specimen, perhaps a box elder, with strips of birch bark nailed along the trunk creating alternating gray and white bands of tonality. The tree trunk dangles over a stream, and will eventually fall into it as the piece disintegrates.

Shannon Matthew Long’s “Grounded” makes a different kind of organic statement with adobe. The Johnson-based sculptor fashioned a form resembling a hollow wave, with a light-gray textural exterior and dark concave interior, which includes steel reinforcing rods. Handprints, left from smoothing and shaping the mud-like medium, have solidified — a reminder of the artist’s energy in cre-

ating the piece.

Leila Bandar, also of Johnson, combined pipes and other tubular steel items to construct her large-scale work, “Chain Reaction.” The connected tubes result in a veritable forest of interrelated images.

Natural science is also at the root of “Ode to Charlotte” by Burlington artist Kate Pond. On the lawn of the Helen Day she has installed a 20-footlong abstraction in cut-steel sections.

Its title refers to the white whale skele-

looking creature. “War and Peace” would have been a reasonable title, but Zide allows viewers to make their own subliminal connections. She also created a strong composition with the installation of “The Mavens.”

“Eurynome” by Nicole Terreri, yet another Johnson artist, is the silhouette of a dancer crafted in steel and copper. The mythological Eurynome was rather sprightly for a Titan — one of the gods who ruled the Earth before the Olympians — and Terreri’s

Twenty artists were accepted for the 2005 show; their aesthetic approaches include figurative, abstract and earth art in a variety of media. ton — now the state fossil — discovered in Charlotte in 1849. Pond has captured the undulation of a sounding whale in an interesting way.

Figurative sculptures also appear in “Exposed!” Trina Zide’s “The Mavens” are described as “abstractions of living forms in Vermont.” The Shelburne artist created a pair of birdlike objects and positioned them directly on the ground. Though the work is not specifically allegorical, one of her forms is a bit like a dove. The other is a rusty, craggy, mechanical-

portrait is suitably bulky, yet graceful.

The negative space around the dancer makes her seem light on her pedestal, and her copper “skin” has developed a rich patina Harris’ “Re-Forest I” is perhaps the only piece that will ultimately decay entirely, but the elements eventually take a toll on all outdoor sculpture.

And this isn’t necessarily all bad — would the Great Sphinx of Giza be as mysterious with its nose intact? Some of the works in “Exposed!” are weathering well already. m

PREVIEWS AN UNFINISHED LIFE: Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez star in this Western with a heart, about a grieving father who rustles up new hope when the granddaughter he never knew he had comes to stay.

(100 min, PG-13) THE ARISTOCRATS: Jason Alexander, Lewis Black, Eric Idle, Phyllis Diller and Bob Saget are just a few of the comedians who tell variations on the same joke — purportedly the dirtiest in history — in this one-of-a-kind documentary from directors Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza. (86 min, NR) THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE: Scott Derrickson directs this fact-based account of a Catholic priest tried for negligence in the death of a college freshman the church had officially recognized as being possessed. With Tom Wilkinson, Laura Linney and Jennifer Carpenter. (114 min, PG-13) THE MAN: Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy (two names I never thought I’d see in the same sentence) team up for this comedy about a federal agent and a dental-supply salesman who mistakenly wind up working together on a sting operation.

Costarring Miguel Ferrer. Directed by Les Mayfield. (84 min, PG-13)

The Constant Gardener HHHH

N FIENNES ART The Gardener star gives perhaps the most elegant and understated performance of his career.

either Rachel Weisz nor Ralph Fiennes has done better work on screen than they do in Fernando (City of God) Meirelles’ stylish, timely and engaging adaptation of John Le Carre’s bestseller. Equal parts political thriller and love story, The Constant Gardener provides an exceptionally high note on which to end the summer movie season.

The picture tells the story of a mild-mannered diplomat whose career in the British High Commission has effectively stalled out at about mid-level. We’re never quite sure what it is that Fiennes’ character does during the work day (an element of James Bondness is hinted at), just that he spends a good deal of his time after hours tending his plants, shrubs and flowers, and is often deeply lost in thought.

He’s reserved, self-contained and slightly awkward — this close to being a secret-service nerd. Weisz’s character hits his quiet life with the force of a hurricane. She’s a beautiful firebrand AIDS activist whose outspokenness — once the two have married and moved to Africa — frequently threatens to compromise her husband’s standing in the department.

At a party early in the film, she causes a scene by confronting the operator of a clinic and accusing him of pocketing funds intended for upgraded medical equipment. “If you can’t control her,” he’s advised only half-jokingly by his best friend (Danny Huston), “maybe you should keep her at home.” The husband’s reaction is to grin and shrug his shoulders. He’s unable to conceive of any man not being as charmed as he is, and he little suspects the role his wife’s brazenness will play in both their fates.

The Brazilian director unfolds his story in nonlinear fashion and introduces the viewer to an Africa that, for the most part, has evaded movie cameras until now. Anyone who takes in its scenes of squalor, overcrowded living conditions and substandard government medical care will shudder to contemplate a country in which most of the people live their entire lives under conditions worse than those the trapped citizens of New Orleans have had to endure this past week.

The characters Fiennes and Weisz play have contrasting reactions to the poverty and bureaucratic corruption they

encounter in Kenya. The husband takes the view that one can’t save the world. His wife, at one point, begs him to pull over and offer a lift to a couple she knows will have to walk through the night to reach their home. “These are two people,” she pleads, “we can help.”

She pays the ultimate price for her compassion. Having discovered that a pharmaceutical company is using its AIDS treatment program as a cover for the testing of an experimental drug that proves to have deadly side effects, she reports her findings to the proper authorities and is promptly raped, murdered and dumped by the side of a deserted stretch of road.

Fiennes is left to piece together the puzzle of her death, and of her life. The more he learns about her, the less it seems he really knew her. He uncovers evidence of a possible affair. And then another. The more he discovers about her efforts to expose the drug producer’s criminal practices, the less it seems he really knows the people he works with every day. After all, the report his wife wrote just before her murder wasn’t sent to the press or a human rights organization. It was sent to Fiennes’ superiors.

The Constant Gardener may be the most artistically shot, hiply scored, quietly acted and unhurried political thriller ever to come out of Hollywood. Fiennes turns in a performance that’s a wonder of understatement. The dialogue in Jeffrey Caine’s literate, frequently witty script makes the dialogue in most films sound like it was scribbled by high school students taking English as a second language. And Le Carre’s source material provides one of the least predictable movie-going experiences in years.

As the final scenes approach, audience members will likely check their watches and wonder when the duped Brit will reach his boiling point, pull out the automatic weapons, and open a can of whoop-ass on the bastards behind his wife’s death. The righteous bloodbath is a given of the genre. But Le Carre and Meirelles give it a pass.

More than just an uncommonly elegant entertainment, this work of fiction is lent weight and emotional force by the facts on which it is predicated. The most tragic part of the story is that so much of it is true. m

SHORTS BATMAN BEGINSHHH Christian Bale stars in Memento director Christopher Nolan’s exploration of the caped crusader’s origins and emergence as a force for good in the city of Gotham.

Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy costar.

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON IN DISAPPEARANCES

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Québec Bill trying to save his endangered cattle by smuggling booze during Prohibition. Genevieve Bujold (Choose Me) portrays his Aunt Cordelia. William Sanderson (Larry of Larry, Darryl and Darryl on “Newhart”) appears as Bill’s hired hand. Lothaire Bluteau (Jesus of Montréal) has the role of a villainous Canadian bootlegger.

The crew was a dream team. “They performed miracles,” Craven suggests.

“Carl Sprague, our art director who worked on films like The Royal Tennenbaums, personally bought two white 1932 Cadillacs that are at the center of the story. He’s still trying to resell them.”

Craven recently submitted a rough cut to the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, which takes place in January.

He’ll know in December if his $1.5 million picture has been selected by the prestigious Utah event, where it might be possible to attract a distributor. “We’re still raising money,” he says, “as always.“ Craven describes Disappearances as “a sort of Indiana Jones in Vermont, with a magic-realism streak.” Shot in Cinemascope, the cost for lenses alone was $10,000, but he envisions the finished product with a wide perspective “like the old Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns.”

Before that, Craven’s Barnet-based Kingdom County Productions will open a satellite office in Montpelier this fall. “The idea is to provide easier access

for new staff members who live in Northfield and Burlington,” he notes.

Further down the road, Craven will depart from Mosherville with two scripts now in development that are adapted from other people’s literary works: They Don’t Dance Much is a 1940 “country-noir classic” by North Carolina novelist James Ross. Crime Unpunished, a 1955 psychological thriller by Georges Simenon, concerns “a guy who’s not comfortable in his own skin,” Craven explains.

A documentary, tentatively titled After the Fog, is already in progress.

He has interviewed Vermont veterans from World War I through the Iraq conflict in this study of American militarism and its consequences back home. Craven is still seeking contemporary fighters, particularly from the state’s National Guard.

John O’Brien has spent eight months shooting The Green Movie, his semiimprovisational oeuvre about the Earth’s sustainability. Author-environ-

mentalist Bill McKibben stars as himself in a cast of about a dozen actual Sharon Academy students, also playing themselves. At 7 p.m. on September 14, the Tunbridge auteur is offering a free preview of edited and unedited footage at the Jaquith Public Library in Marshfield. He’ll be on hand to answer questions.

“It’s a comedy about the future of the planet as seen through the eyes of teenagers,” says Art Bell, a Burlington resident serving as cinematographer. “As in John’s previous work, this is a written, loose narrative where we have set up scenarios and captured them as they played out.”

The kids stage a mock cable-TV show “in a loose nod to Jon Stewart,” Bell reports, adding that the high school’s seniors also organized a “green prom” with “a huge solar trailer to power the entertainment — actual Vermont indie rock bands, including The Smittens.”

Call 426-3581 for details about the sneak peek. m

READ THIS FIRST:

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

Butt-crack tattoos EPITOMIZE teen-queen conformity.

How the hell are you supposed to pronounce HICCOUGHS? Mystery moths come from the Land of LEPIDOPTERA. When LIONS and tigers date, you get ligers and tigons.

Zarathustra SPOKE of nothing, but he spake volumes.

To move ahead, you may have to UNPROGRAM your mantra.

Even the Dead Sea SCROLLS contained ads for diet pills.

Some of the coolest flicks were FLOPS at the box office.

CYCLORAMA is another word for the Tour de France.

It’s an understatement to say that GLORY holes are hot.

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

hen Jay Craven is asked to describe his experience on Disappearances, the Peacham director calls the fiveweek spring shoot in the Northeast Kingdom “great and terrifying and wonderful.” The terrifying part? The production encountered some gutwrenching technical disasters: scratches on 6000 feet of the negative, possibly caused by a rented camera; flickering on another 4000 feet of footage, thanks to a lighting ballast that went kaput; and blue streaks on 2500 feet of raw stock that Kodak mistakenly sent through an airport X-ray machine.

That Kodak moment was ameliorated when the company replaced the ruined film. But Craven had to add an unanticipated two and a half days to the schedule to redo scenes shot on the damaged stock. The scratches and flickers “can be fixed digitally at a cost of $7.50 a frame, 24 frames per second,” he says with a sigh. “Or so we’re told.”

If not, perhaps the movie’s time frame — the 1930s — could justify a vintage look of scratchy celluloid with flickering images. This is Craven’s fourth film based on work by Vermont author Howard Frank Mosher; all of them have required costumes and sets reflecting early20th-century eras.

PARTY OF THE DECADE

It doesn’t seem all that long since the first masthead was printed, but we’ve gone through a lot of ink since 1995. Seven Days turns 10 with a birthday bash at two downtown clubs, and everyone’s invited. A dance party rocks Nectar’s, with music by Seth Yacovone, the Funk Collection and The Jazz Guys. Upstairs at the Metronome, The Seven Deadly Sins tempt audience members with a sizzling series of original theatrical sketches by local dramaturges. An iPod, a snowboard and a weeklong ski getaway are among the prizes planned to be handed out, and reader-produced art projects crafted from past issues provide paper-cutting-edge decor. Proceeds benefit hurricane victims in New Orleans.

‘SEVEN DAYS’ ANNIVERSARY PARTY Saturday, September 10, Nectar’s & Club Metronome, Burlington, music 6 p.m., theatrical show 8 p.m. $7 covers both venues. Info, 864-5684. http://www.sevendaysvt.com

scene@K.C. & THE SUNSHINE BAND CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 7 P.M. The crowd assembled at the Champlain Valley Fair grandstand last Friday might not have had a proper night out in quite some time. Maybe it was even as long ago as 1978, when a band of ribald roustabouts called The Village People scored a hit with their ode to male bonding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;YMCA.â&#x20AC;? The surprisingly large and enthusiastic audience had come to relive their own youth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least, most of them. A few pre-teens had been brought by their parents, and a smattering of twentysomethings seemed to have been drawn to the kitsch value. In addition to the Village People, the show featured the provocative party funk of K.C. & the Sunshine Band, who headlined the event.

Taking to the stage garbed in the same garish attire that won them international recognition and subsequent derision, the Village People wasted no time getting the crowd pumped. I did a little research prior to their gig and discovered that the group comprises mostly original members, save the Biker/Leatherman, who joined a decade ago. Parading like contestants on some bizarre Japanese game show, the band belted their way through house-music-infused versions of all of their classic hits, as well as a new number entitled, appropriately enough, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trash Disco.â&#x20AC;? Despite the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall ridiculousness, I found myself won over by the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camaraderie and earnestness. They looked pretty damn good too: Philipe Rose, who plays the Native American â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remember when he was called the Indian? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was still a chiseled hunk of â&#x20AC;&#x153;macho man.â&#x20AC;?

K.C., on The other hand, showed a lot more wear and tear. But judging by the adoring looks from the female members in the audience, he might as well have been Brad Pitt.

Joking about performing for his original fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children, K.C. waxed philosophical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at these kids and I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, I was your Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;SYNC,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;And have a good look at me too, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause this is what Justin Timberlake is gonna look like in 30 years.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? As the group plowed through a set of sleazy disco and schmaltzy ballads, a pair of gussied-up dancers slithered around their august bandleader, who grinned like a used car salesman.

JUST SAY NO

If war is a drug, Vermonters don’t find it a sedative. More and more state residents are waking up to the lack of planning for peace — and vigorously voicing their concerns. A free, two-day conference organizes opposition to the war, not the troops. On Friday night, Michael Parenti, an activist, author and former UVM faculty member who was dismissed in the 1970s over his Vietnam protests, delivers a keynote about occupation and empire; the speech also inaugurates UVM’s new Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series. On Saturday, workshops and debates examine the war’s social and environmental consequences. Need more? Bus tickets will also be available for a September 24 antiwar demo in D.C.

‘VERMONT SAYS NO TO WAR’ CONFERENCE Friday & Saturday, September 9 & 10, Campus Center Theater, Billings Student Center, UVM, Burlington, various times. Free. Info, 863-2345. http://www.vermontsaysnotowar.org

Catch two block parties on Friday night: The Queen City Jazz Quintet serenades at the corner of Maple and South Champlain, and Obernaut and Rocketshorts join The Jazz Guys at the post-tour party behind Speeder and Earl’s. A program guide is handy, but curiosity carries the day — some do-it-yourselfers host impromptu events near listed venues, so explorers can find more fun by going off the map. Bon voyage!

MEMORIAL MAKING

The international reputation of Barre quarries was built with the help of Italian-immigrant stonecutters. The Granite Festival celebrates the city’s rock-solid heritage with activities centered around the Vermont Granite Museum. Visitors to the early-1900s manufacturing plant try stone carving and splitting, letter carving, etching and sandblasting, or attempt to model a monument in clay. Art shows and a chicken barbecue complement live music by The Radio Rangers and bagpiper David Reid. Historian and author Bill Gove describes old quarry railroads, and train rides from Depot Square to the main festival site give a sense of a 19th-century quarryworker’s commute. The carver-curious top off the day with a tour of Hope Cemetery’s famous marble and granite grave-markers.

The show’s been in development for nearly two years, and was written entirely by Vermont teens.

A month-long statewide tour starts this weekend, with accompanying community forums on teen topics. Listen in, then offer your two cents.

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

SEPTEMBER 08-14

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When I was 19, a masked gunman pumped a load of buckshot into my hip after a student demonstration. To this day, I have 43 pieces of metal in my body. What kind of metal?

That’s an important question. Until I find out the answer, I can never get an MRI. Medical technicians tell me that unless they’re sure the shards in me aren’t the kind of metal that could be moved by the MRI’s strong magnetic field, they can’t risk it. In a worst-case scenario, the shards might move so much they’d cause internal bleeding. And that’s the story of how unknown factors from a past event are still affecting my life today. I believe you’re now facing a comparable situation, Aries, though in a more metaphorical way. Go get the answers you need.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): From the window of my office I look down on a blackberry bush whose berries are now ripening. In the last 20 minutes, I’ve watched a sparrow figure out the best way to feast. At first the bird tried to land on the flimsy branches of the bush, but after a few tries it realized they couldn’t hold its weight. Its revised strategy was to grab a single berry in mid-swoop and alight on the branch of a nearby apple tree so it could relax with its meal. It did this 10 times. I recommend a similar approach to you, Taurus. According to my astrological analysis, you won’t be able to enjoy your treats in the place where you find them. You’ll have to pluck them, fly away, and savor them at a distance. Like the sparrow, you should keep returning for refills.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): America’s first President George Bush, a Gemini who reigned from 1988 to 1992, had almost as quirky and paradoxical a mind as his son, the current “leader of the free world.” “I have strong opinions of my own,” Bush the First once said, “but I don’t always agree with them.” Let that quizzical gem be your watchword in the coming days, Gemini.

Disavow three strong opinions you’ve been proud of in the past, but which you no

longer agree with. Try to get it through your beautiful head that you’re not the person you were when you first acquired those old beliefs, and it’s time to leave them behind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A lot of teens I know have tattoos, but not my neighbor’s 16-year-old daughter Lucretia.

Fear of boredom is the main reason. “If I got a tattoo today, I’d be tired of it in six months,” she explained to me. “And then what would I do? Undergo the torture of having it erased? I just can’t deal with anything that would be a permanent part of me.” Make her your role model this week, Cancerian. You’re in the most transitory phase of your astrological cycle. For best results, revel in the parade of flashy beauty and captivating diversions, but don’t get too attached to any single one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are becoming very relaxed. All tension is flowing out of you. Your worries are dissolving. With each breath, your body feels a growing sense of peace and well being. Your mind is expanding naturally, allowing you to experience a harmonious attunement with life. In response, deep sources of practical intelligence are welling up into your awareness, filling you with good ideas about your longterm financial future. Soon you will begin writing down a 10-step master plan that will go a long way toward making you into a money magnet in the next 18 months.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t want to have to answer to the past, right? It’s a waste of time. Nor do you even feel like rebelling against the way things used to be or rejecting the stale old expectations people would like to hold you to. I don’t blame you, Virgo — especially now, as you enter the frontier zone where the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The way I see it, it’s your sacred duty to shake off all the sacred duties from yesteryear as you go forth to create the future.

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

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Gobi Desert in Central Asia is one of the world’s biggest and most inhospitable wastelands.

Temperatures there range from -40 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. And yet not far below the endless sand is a vast water table. Welldiggers strike water nine out of 10 times they drill. I regard the Gobi as an apt metaphor for your current situation, Libra. While it may be true that you’re currently surrounded by arid extremes, a wealth of revivifying emotional riches lies just below the surface.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Please don’t sit on your ass any more than you have to in the coming week. That’s always a good rule to observe, but it’s especially important to honor it now. The cosmic truth of the matter, Scorpio, is that you can’t possibly make the right decisions if your physical energy is stagnant or if your field of vision is unchanging. For the sake of your future, for the health of your emotions, for the love of God, get out into the wild open spaces. And if that’s not feasible, at least saunter around the neighborhood more than usual. Here’s your motto, courtesy of St. Augustine: Solvitur ambulando, which is Latin for “It is solved by walking.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The entertainment industry foists a lot of garbage on us. Stupid sex, gratuitous fear, and ugly violence are the norm. TV and film executives defend themselves against critics who accuse them of pandering to the lowest common denominator. “We merely give people what they want,” they say. To put that lame excuse in context, I’ll quote Henry Ford, the automotive pioneer: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” I hope that perspective inspires you to aim higher in the coming week, Sagittarius. Don’t give anyone (including yourself) what they’re accustomed to desiring; give them something better and more beautiful.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Back when it was still a fledgling business in the 1950s, the McDonald’s hamburger franchise caught the attention of a salesman named Ray Kroc. He joined the team as an executive, and soon began thinking about buying the company outright. His advisors counseled him against it, but Kroc said he had “a feeling in his funny bone” that it was the right thing to do. Years later, he had become a billionaire, renowned as one of the world’s titans of industry. I’m not necessarily saying you will amass a comparable fortune, Capricorn, but decisions you make in the coming weeks could be as life-changing as Kroc’s — and maybe even instrumental in ensuring that you fulfill the mission you came to Earth to carry out. Trust the feelings in your funny bone.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m taking a risk with the message I have for you this week. My intention is not to flatter you or inflate your ego, and I know that some of you may be tempted to do just that when you read what I have to say. Please resist that temptation. My advice is not meant to jack up your pride but rather is designed to boost your confidence. I want to impress on you how important it is not to seek solutions to your problems from experts, teachers, or anyone beside yourself. Ready for your assignment? Speak the following sentence 20 times a day for the next week: I am the answer.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): I predict that a new fashion trend will arise in the coming months: the intentional cultivation of “sacred acne” as a form of facial decoration. Hip magazines will offer instructions on how to compel pimples to appear in the shape of mythological emblems and religious symbols. I also predict, Pisces, that before the end of 2005 you will figure out how to take advantage of a quality you’ve always considered a liability. This seeming weakness or unloveliness may even become a spiritual asset. The transformation begins now.

ENAMELING: September 22 through December 8 (no class November 24). Shelburne Craft School. Instructed by Pilar M. Netzel. Thursdays, 6:30–9:30 p.m. Members $220, nonmembers $245. Materials fee $30. Info, 985-3648 or www.shelburnecraftschool.org. Create gemlike works of lasting quality and beauty while exploring the colorful and magical world of enameling, an ancient technique of fusing powdered glass to metal. Students will begin with simple, yet gratifying sample pieces using pre-cut copper shapes, stencils, glass threads and beads. Included in the sample pieces will be wearable earrings, bracelets and pendants.

These projects will enable the student to move on to the next level of techniques such as wet packing and cloisonne. Wet packing requires the use of fine paint brushes to facilitate the placement of enamel, creating a painterly effect. This painting technique naturally leads the student toward the art of cloisonne. Using pliers and tweezers students will bend and shape cloisonne wires into enclosed forms that will then be filled with enamel and dried. As a final project, students will be encouraged to enamel a copper dish or shallow bowl using any or all of the techniques learned in class.

LEVEL I JEWELRY MAKING: Two sessions: Wednesdays, September 14 through November 16, 6:30-9:30 p.m. or Fridays, September 16 through November 18, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

This class will focus on acquiring jewelry-making skills and techniques, while learning the art of fine craftsmanship. The class is structured so that each student will complete a series of practice pieces before designing and creating a wearable, finished piece of jewelry. Each week there will be several demonstrations including; sawing, drilling, piercing, filing, annealing, forming and soldering. Practice pieces will include making a simple ring, earrings, bracelet and pendant. The first half of the course will concentrate on learning to cut, shape, and form metal wire and sheet, with an emphasis on soldering. The second half of the course will concentrate on the final design and careful completion of one project chosen by the student and will incorporate many or all of the techniques learned in class.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My husband of 25-plus years no longer has a sexual interest in me. He says I no longer do it for him. I am a petite female who has retained her looks. I am sexually adventurous and basically an attractive person.

He says he is not having an affair. Is it typical for men over 50 to lose their sexual drive? He says other women do arouse him, though. What gives?

Puzzled in Plattsburgh Dear Puzzled, That’s a good question, and one I hope your husband is interested in answering. Assuming he’s telling the truth about not seeing anyone else, his disinterest is likely a symptom of other unresolved issues. How is your marriage in other respects? Could he be angry with you for something else, and expressing that emotion in the bedroom? Is he upset about another aspect in his life — or frustrated with himself — and deflecting those feelings by shutting you out? Encourage him to explore the underlying cause of his indifference, perhaps with the help of a professional. If he’s unwilling to work on this, it might be time to consider the future of this union.

Love, Lola
