Although Mr. Nemethy, in his refute of Michael Colby’s article on snowmobiling [“Letters,” Feb. 19], asserts that he is not a snownjobiler (as if that was proof of his impartiality on the subject) he is in fact employed by VAST (Vermont Association of Snow Travelers) as editor of their statewide newspaper. Perhaps he didn’t consider his affiliation a relevant fact for your readers?

; PRAISE FOR PARMER

’

I appreciated Paula Routly’s gloss ' on the changing theater situation in downtown Burlington [“Mixed Media,” Feb. 26], except for two things. First is her char acterization of Hoyts Nickel odeon manager Steve Parmer. Putting “on vacation” in quotes implies that Steve’s absence was part of some corporate plot to blackball reporters. It was not. Steve was on a previously planned vacation with his family and was not informed about the Nickelodeon’s imminent closure until the very last minute. Steve was manager of the Nickelodeon long before Hoyts bought out Sony, and put a very

human face on its operation, as many will testify. Through Steve’s efforts, films like Nora Jacobson’s My Mother’s Early Lovers, among numerous other works by Ver mont filmmakers, secured the atrical exhibition in Vermont’s largest city. He deserves our grat itude, not calumny. The second thing is Paula’s hasty conflation of what I said about Hoyts’ corporate mindset with its response to the Vermont International Film Festival. In fact, Hoyts, through Steve’s ini tiative, has been a generous sup porter of the Festival since Hoyts took over the theater in 1996, disrupting its regular operation to supply us with screens in lucrative weekend timeslots, and allowing us to pocket the pro ceeds. I have stood in front of full houses for those films and publicly thanked Hoyts for their support of the Vermont Inter national Film Festival, and I am loathe to have it appear that my gratitude was insincere. I can only hope we do as well with whoever takes over the Nickel odeon. Barry Snyder GEORGIA

DO THE RIGHT THING

So the Bush Administration wants to go to war [“Peace Work,” Feb. 19]? I say, “Bombs away!” But instead of warheads, let’s bombard Iraq with what its •impoverished and oppressed citi zens truly need: food, clothing, books, music, vitamins, medi cine. As far as regime change is concerned, we could include a notice in each “care” package which explains this is just the tip of the iceberg and Iraq can ex pect much more if all citizens were to support the Iraqi opposi tion. O f course, the U.S. and other U.N. members would also be supporting credible alternative Iraqi leadership to the extent we are able to do so. I submit that pursuing these alternatives will end up being much more effective than a war would be in ridding Iraq of its greedy, heartless leader as well as much less costly in terms of dol lars spent, innocent lives lost and damage to property. Not to men tion what it would do for the U.S.’ image. Did Churchill really say, “You can always count on the U.S. to do the right thing — after ex hausting all other alternatives’7

CONSEQUENCES OF PEACE

Americans fortunately have the right to demonstrate and do what they can to get their gov ernment to do what they think is in their best interest. Those demonstrating for “Peace” [“Peace Work,” Feb. 19] are not unpatriotic. I do think that they are misinformed and have no

plan to deal with the current sit uation in Iraq or elsewhere. I, for one, am convinced that the sooner we deal with Iraq, the better it will be for all mankind. There will be less death and destruction by taking action now as opposed to doing nothing. I acknowledge and take ownership of this. The “Peace” movement also has to acknowledge and take ownership of the results of their plan for not taking any action.

“Peace” rallies do “give aid and comfort” to Saddam Hussein. They help to reinforce his posi tion that he is right and should not be interfered w ith... The “Peace” movement will also have to take ownership of the immensely greater destruc tion that will take place in the future when the choice is surren der or fight, if we are even in a position to fight.

movement as shown by their desire to destroy the state of Israel and the Jewish people who live there. Fortunately for the people of Israel, they have nuclear weapons and are willing to use them, as opposed to marching into new gas ovens fueled by Saddam Hussein... We will all have a tough time living with the greater tragedy that will befall us if the “Peace” movement gets its way now and we try to clean up the mess they have created two to four years from now.

VACATIONS HAPPEN

Regarding your article “Reel Estate Deal” [“Mixed Media,” Feb. 26], you should know that

fV L L -V A>6-

Steve Parmer’s convenient “vaca tion” was indeed just a vacation. I am his brother-in-law. He and his family made plans months ago to travel to the West Coast during this week o f school vaca tion. Plane tickets were pur chased and the plans were on. Your comment, to me, sounded as if you thought the vacation was contrived. Before you cast aspersions on someone, you need to find out the facts. Steve’s work at the Nickelodeon for 19 years helped give the theater the quali ty reputation that I believe it enjoyed. Your glib comment impugned someone whose job status now is anything but con venient. As much as I like your paper, please remember to use your words responsibly. Jerry W illiam s BURLINGTON

CORRECTIONS:

• Last week’s “Left Field” ascribed oversight of Act 250 to Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources. In fact, the controversial development law is administered by the Environmental Board, a separate, quasi judicial body that sometimes overturns ANR permits. We regret the misstatement. * l ast week in our review of Linda Jones’ exhibit at the L/L Gallery, we erroneously suggested that Joan Watson was the sole director of the gallery In fact she is co-director along with Chad Harter, who also heads up the photo cooperative at UVM’s Living/Learning Center. O ur apologies for the oversight.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLmCS

Jim Douglas’ Dirty Trickster?

ts a dirt-dishing backroom story nobody wants out. Not the Douglas administra tion and not the Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC). It appears a member of Gov. J im D ou gla s' inner circle pitched an erro neous story to a major Vermont newspa per. It was clearly designed to destroy the integrity of a leading Statehouse environ mental lobbyist. It occurred just hours after the Senate Natural Resources Committee approved W ayn e L aroch e as the new Commissioner o f Fish & Wildlife. Seven Days has learned that on February 28, Douglas aide J im B a r n e tt attempted to plant a story in The Burlington Free Press that a VNRC offi cial had publicly “lied” about his organi zations position on the LaRoche appointment. Mr. Barnett told the Freeps that VNRC communications director P atrick B erry was a “liar.” His evidence was an anti-LaRoche email forwarded by a VNRC staffer and Berrys earlier com ments in the Free Press stating the VNRC was not going to oppose LaRoche. That email, sent by the VNRC s out reach director M atteo B u ran i, was actu ally a forwarded statement distributed by the Lamoille River Anglers. It accused Laroche of being a “threat to wild fish.” Burani told Seven Days he is a member of the Lamoille Anglers and he was merely forwarding the groups email to friends. It was in no way, he said, a reflection of VNRC s position. And it was not sent to the VNRC membership. Barnett didn’t see it that way. The fact that it was sent out “during work time on a VNRC account urging people to call their senators sounds like an organized campaign to me.” Mr. Berry told Seven Days he first became aware of Barnett’s attack “when a Free Press reporter called me and asked if I was a liar.” Under the golden dome, integrity counts big-time. One’s career depends on credibility. Mr. Berry quickly set the reporter straight and called other media outlets to do “damage control.” He then learned that Barnett had only pitched it to the Freeps. Berry made it perfectly clear that the VNRC “has not opposed, lobbied against or coordinated efforts against the Laroche appointment.” Berry was reluctant to comment on Mr. Barnett. After all, his organization has to deal with the Douglas administration on a host of issues. Longtime Vermont conservationist W arn er s h e d d of East Calais told Seven Days he has “never experienced anything like this” in Vermont’s political arena. “It comes under the category o f very dirty political tricks,” said Shedd. The governor’s aide, he said, was “trying to discredit a person who has an excellent reputation for integrity at the Statehouse.” O n Tuesday, Barnett denied the accu sation o f engaging in “dirty tricks.” In fact, he said he didn’t remember if he had

actually used the word “liar” when pitch ing the story. “It’s ridiculous,” insisted Barnett, who earned his office on the Fifth Floor by serving as Candidate Douglas’ campaign attack dog. One thing’s for sure. The relationship between the Douglas administration and the environmental lobby is off to a rather rocky start.

D ea n w a tc h 2 0 0 4 — O ur favorite presi

dential hopeful more than held his own Sunday morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Host Tim R u sser t gave H ow ard D ea n a pretty good grilling on his oppo sition to President G eorge W. B u sh ’s plan to invade Iraq. Ho-Ho stood firm. And his comment about a Bush attack giving China license to invade Taiwan got some traction on the news wires. O n Tuesday, NPR’s Mara L ia sso n reported on the excellent traction Dean’s antiwar stand is getting him in Iowa. While Dean’s opponents are getting “hammered” by Iowa Democrats for their support of King Bush II, the little guy from Vermont is getting “betterthan-expected crowds and standing ova tions.” The war issue, said Dr. Dean, “has given me enormous visibility among Democrats, particularly in Iowa... I’m going to get a lot of Democrats who appreciate that I stood up early and said this war is the wrong war.” Also, the Dean Team is proud to announce they’ve raised more than $1 million and have also qualified for federal matching funds. And Seven Days has learned that Candidate Dean has struck a deal for publication of Dean’s personal vision for America’s future. Dean spokesman Sweet S u e A lle n told us they’re not ready to release the details just yet.

M issin g C an d id ate? — A whole lot of

people were surprised by the stunning bit of news censorship exercised by The Bur lington Free Press in the recent mayor’s race. Progressives, Democrats and Repub licans alike were stunned by the Freeps’ decision to ignore the write-in campaign of State Rep. Kurt W righ t. He even had campaign signs up in a couple wards. In the end, Rep. Wright exceeded his Seven Days prediction and received 1017 writein votes. Democratic City Councilor A n d y M on troll, the dude Mayor P eter C la v elle defeated at the Democratic Party caucus, received 260 write-in votes. O f course, all that’s news to the readers o f our local Gannett-chain daily. Kwik Stop, a former Burlington city councilor, told Seven Days he thought The Burlington Free Press had an “obliga tion” to report his candidacy for Burling- . ton mayor. Most folks agree.

They did, he didn’t. While the kidnappers had Lampert in custody, they used his credit card to have a pizza delivered to the motel where they were holding him. The transac tion alerted the authorities, who got the motel’s address from the pizza place and found three of the suspects still there a few days later. • Police in Marked Tree, Arkansas, arrested Michael Brown, 33, after he

No News Is Good News Fearing that forecasts of no early end to Zimbabwe’s drought would heighten public discontent, President Robert Mugabe took control of the Meteorological Office and ordered it not to reveal any long-range weather forecasts. “The government does not want any information on the weather to be leaked,” a Met Office official told the London Telegraph. “All our forecasts are to be sent to the presi dent’s office, and only then can they be released.”

year-old patient of a cosmetic surgeon in Manchester, England, paid $3000 for a “triple technique dual increase male organ enhancement,” expecting the procedure to add 1 to 3 inches to the length of his penis and 30 to 90 percent to its thickness. The man complained to Britain’s General Medical Council that the three-hour operation, which involved injecting fat from the stomach and thighs into the shaft of the penis, failed to increase its length, instead leaving it shorter and disfigured. Pointing out that the patient “had a perfectly sized penis to begin with,” David Enoch, the G M C ’s counsel, accused cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ravi Kant Agarwal of “taking advan tage of vulnerable people for opera tions they did not need for large quan tities of cash for a very short procedure that does not work.”

Good Intentions Backfire Antifur campaigns of the 1980s and 1990s have hurt the livelihoods of thousands of Canadian Natives, prompting them to welcome oil, gas and mining interests into unspoiled areas to provide them with income. The New York Times reported that trappers who once alerted environ mental groups when logging compa nies were clear-cutting forests or told the Canadian military when low-flying jets were disrupting caribou herds are no longer in a position to perform these roles. Instead, native groups have negotiated royalty agreements letting oil companies intensify activities in the

Mackenzie River valley, threatening vital wildlife habitats. Impoverished Inuit settlements in northern Quebec reached an agree ment to promote offshore gas drilling in waters still teeming with seals. Nine Cree settlements around James Bay voted to allow the provincial govern ment to flood 115 square miles of tra ditional hunting lands for hydroelec tric development in exchange for mil lions of dollars in aid. “The collapse of the fur trade was a disaster for people who are guardians of the environ ment,” said Elizabeth May, executive director of Sierra Club Canada. • In the early 1990s, conservationists trying to save the endangered rhino from poaching promoted the use saiga horns in traditional Chinese medicine as a substitute for rhino horn. The campaign was so successful that the antelope is on the verge of extinction. New Scientist magazine reported that in 1993 more than a million saiga roamed the steppes of Russia and Kazakhstan. Today, fewer than 30,000 remain, mostly females since so many males have been shot for their horns. Noting that it is the most sudden and dramatic population crash of a large mammal ever seen, biologists warn that without an emergency appeal to rescue the remaining wild herds, the species has no more than two years to live.' “The trouble is, most people have never heard of the animal,” zoologist Abigail Entwistle said, “so it is hard to raise funds.” ®

ou can’t beat “Guernica” for antiwar art. Picasso made the painting to memorialize the 1600 civilians massacred during an air raid on a small Basque village in northern Spain. The slaughter was sanctioned by Franco, who let Hitlers German Air Force use the place for target practice. Picasso captured the terrorized populace in a twisted tableau of screaming figures, fallen horses and dead babies. A tapestry of the scene illustrates wars horrors — and is strategically located on the wall outside the U.N. Security Council. No one seems to know exactly who ordered ’Guernica” to be concealed by a large blue drape when Colin Powell made his pitch for war last month. “Its only tem porary,” the organizations media liaison told the Washington Times. “Were only doing this until the cameras leave.” But the symbolism was not lost on the U.N. envoys, the media or, as it turns out, four artists in central Vermont who decided to make their own copy of “Guernica.” M aggie N e a le , C y n th ia R oss, J a n e t V an F le e t and H a r rie t W ood have

reproduced Picassos powerful image and are making it available as a backdrop for rallies, vigils and other pro-peace events in Vermont. Call 229-1719 to get your hands on the painting, which will be at the Statehouse on Friday. “It takes two people to hold it up,” says Montpelier activist C hris W ood, noting the canvas rolls up for easy transport. Like so many Vermonters, he’s hoping history — in this case, art history — doesn’t repeat itself. w o r d o n t h e s t r e e t Looking for proof that reading matters? Witness — a book by MacArthur Genius Grant-win ning author K aren H e sse of Brattleboro — is the talk o f the town this month in Manchester. Organizers envisioned a sin gle community discussion attended by people who had read the 180-page, freeverse poem. But the project exploded into a dozen events that relate to the story in various ways. Based on actual history, Witness recalls the Ku Klux Klan’s recruit ing efforts in a small Vermont town circa 1924. “The book is on everybody’s lips,” says L o u ise H u g h e s of the Vermont Country Store, one o f a self-described “ad hoc community of citizens” who came up with the idea. “We sent out a thousand books to schools, organizations and libraries and encouraged them to put together whatever they thought. This pro gram shaped itself.” Vermont Public Radio picked up on the story with a twopart broadcast earlier this week. The Vermont Council on the Humanities plans to replicate it in other parts of the state this fall. W hy wait? Maybe Burlingtonians should also get lit — that is, liter ature — and pick a title. At least while we’re waiting for signs o f new life at the Nick . . . Tom P a in e ’s first novel sure sounds cinematic. “Love and rockets light up the skies over Baghdad when two AWOL American Marines storm Baghdad to rescue a 16-year-old Kuwaiti princess.” That’s how the current issue of Vanity

Fair sums up The Pearl o f Kuwait. When he sat down to write it, the Charlotte author was thinking about the last Gulf War — “not a tie-in to a new war,” he insists. The question is how the tragi comedy will play in the current political climate. His first Vermont reading last Sunday at the Charlotte Congregational Church turned into a town meeting on the impending war in Iraq. No one men tioned the cover art, which depicts a scantily clad woman riding a SCUD mis sile. Paine suggests “the best quote came from Booklist,” which offered this descrip tion of his protagonist duo: “They’ve got good hearts but short attention spans and cause a lot of intentional mayhem — but that’s America, dude!” . . . The Congres sional hawks may be ready to kick ass in Iraq. But they were caught off-guard last spring by a book about adolescent sex. Harmful to Minors, by part-time Hardwick resident J u d ith L e v in e, explores teenage sexual self-determina tion. It sparked a firestorm of controversy that included a congressional denuncia tion, a hunger strike and an investigation of the publisher. Now the book’s been nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the “current interest” category. Levine was one of three local literati — along with bookseller L in d a R a m sd e ll and librarian T rina M aggi — who col lected the signatures that helped launch the Freedom to Read Protection Act. Vermont Congressman B e r n ie S a n d ers introduced legislation last week that would amend the U.S.A. Patriot Act to prevent the Feds from having access to the reading records of book buyers and librarygoers. Wonder what they’d make of Manchester? i n m e m o n a m You could always spot G eorge C u llin en on opening night of the Vermont International Film Festival. And it was not only on account of his long white ponytail and signature black beret. Organizers inevitably singled him out for founding the cinematic celebra tion — an honor he shared with S o n ia , his wife of more than 60 years. But there ~ was plenty about Cullinen, who died last week at 88, that was not obvious. He rode the rails during the Depression, and then joined the Merchant Marines. He and Sonia were investigated during the McCarthy Era. Later they combined two compatible interests: documentary filmmaking and antinuke activism. The cou ple moved to Vermont from New York City in the ‘60s, and in 1985 established a film festival at Marlboro College that explored issues of war and peace. Even after the event moved to Burlington two years later, they remained its most consis tent supporters. George got his politics fighting with the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War — perhaps as close as a Vermonter could ever get to the real Guernica. ® Em ail P aula at p au la@ se v en d a y sv t.c o m

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences change fo m one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow 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.)

Read the directions to the puzzle before relegating yo urself to STUPID ITY. When asked to elope, smoke dope, or be tied up w ith rope, Fannie says NOPE. She ordered an AB CONTROLLER to flatte n her stom ach, and her dog humped it . Everything she has ordered from catalogs was DEFECTIVE, including an an t farm .

On a whim she flew to Amsterdam on KLM, intending to work in th e red lig h t d istrict.

ell, this settles it,” I said to my seatmate as we negotiated the myriad speed bumps that now line the North Champlain Street access to the Northern Connector. “For years there’s been this debate among cabbies about the quick est route to the New North End. Some are of the North-Avenue-all-the-way school; others — like myself — favored the Connector. It’s been a close call, but these God-awful speed bumps have tipped the scales. There’s no justification for taking the Connector anymore unless you’re headed all the way to Malletts Bay.” I turned and glanced at my cus tomer, a pale, thirtysomething man with short, tightly curled brown hair and whopping lips, like two pieces of overripe red fruit. He grinned — face tiously, I thought — and let out an extended froggy belch. He had just polished off a sausage sub that, before entering his body, had been piled high with peppers and onions and slathered in rust-colored barbecue sauce. From the time he entered the taxi, I had been watching him devour this meaty leviathan in a series of methodical swal lows of python-like enormity. It was a gruesome performance and a part of me was repulsed. Another part of me, how ever, was riveted. Other than a mumbled Shore Road destination, my passengers basso-profundo burp was his first verbal offering since we’d gotten underway. I was pre pared to take it as his last word on the speed-bump situation, but he had more to say. “This is a joke,” he said, straighten ing in the seat and wiping his lower lip on his jacket sleeve. It was time to chat, apparently, now that dinnertime was over. “A total freaking joke,” he contin ued. “They should bulldoze this whole decrepit neighborhood, from Champlain to Park Street. Then they could lay down a decent access road to the Connector. I mean, what’s stopping them? This is a ghetto* for crying out loud.” After 20 years of hacking, nothing much startles me anymore. But I was taken aback at Sausage Man’s senti ments. I said, “W hat about the people who — ” “Screw them! Screw the people.’ D ’ya know what kinda individuals live in these run-down shitboxes?” This, I grasped, was a rhetorical ques tion. It’s a given that we all know what kind of people live in the Old North End — gypsies, tramps and thieves. As we took the right onto the Connector, the clock turned to 12 mid night and the hourly news came on the radio. It was the Director o f Homeland Security, the hopelessly unreassuring Tom Ridge, informing the nation what color to paint our fear this week. This was all the prom pting my man required.

“Do you know what I say? I say, nuke ’em all! Iraq, Iran — this is all bullshit! These people hate us. It’s us or them. I say, flatten the landscape. I’m talking about the surface of the moon. The world’ll be a better place.” You got to hand it to him, I thought — the guy is nothing if not consistent. His solution to the problems of the world, be they bad roads or rogue states, is leveling tb * topography. His were provocative, if not homici dal, words, and I knew better than to retort. I’ve learned that ranters are not open to discussion. So I bit my tongue. Prudent? Perhaps, but it didn’t forestall my rising ire. W hat had really pushed my buttons was not this person’s malevolent views, but the insouciance with which he voiced them. His opinions came embedded with the galling assumption that I, the listener, naturally agreed with him. That got me thinking about talkradio ranters — their propensity to say “we” when they mean “I,” and their assumed mandate that they speak for “the people.” Nothing gets my goat like unbridled arrogance, I thought, my mind racing on. W hat did the shrinks say in a recent study? I tried to remember. Is it healthier to express anger, or are they now saying it’s better to repress it? This guy had gotten to me, no question. By the time we turned onto Shore Road, small puffs o f smoke were wafting from my ears. He pointed out his house and I pulled into the driveway and came to a stop. As he paid the fare, the same irk some smile was plastered on his face. “You don’t really agree with me,” he said, to my surprise. “C ’mon, tell the truth. You don’t see things my way. Am I right?” “No, now that you ask. You’re right — I don’t.” “All right, then,” he said. There was relish in his words as he smacked his bil lowy lips. “W hat do you think?” This stopped me in my tracks, and I hesitated before responding. Do I really want to get into it with this guy? Once I framed it that way to myself, the answer came easily. “To be frank, brother,” I replied, meeting him eye-to-eye, “I don’t believe you’re truly interested in what I think, so I’m gonna pass.” The smile dropped from his face. I could tell he hadn’t expected that response. Then he burst out laughing, shaking his head back and forth and slapping his thigh. “Ya know what?” he said. “You’re absolutely right! I really could not care less what you think.” He chuckled a few more times and left the cab. I sat there realizing that, in an odd way, he had gained a modicum of respect in my eyes with that closing remark. At least he was" being honest. &

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Ceccil, OK, so I ’m trying to lose some weight. My current plan, eat less and exercise more, is working pretty well, but I want to take it up a notch. So I ’m wondering: How many calories are in a pint o f bloodi How often can you donate without making yourself ill? This could be a great thing for both humanity and myself. — Ubemina, Wisconsin Americans are so pathetic. A while back I heard from a guy who reasoned that: (1) beer is cold; (2) when I drink beer, my body warms it up to 98.6 degrees; f3) this burns calories; (4) therefore, drink ing beer helps me stay thin. Then there was the genius who argued: (1) fat people carry more weight; (2) carrying more weight means doing more work; (3) work = exercise; (4) therefore, fat = good. Your proposal continues this dubious tradition. Presumed advantages: (1) You get to lie on a couch! (2) You get to watch TV! (3) You get to eat Oreos and drink juice! The only disadvantages: (1) You have to tell a complete stranger whether you’ve accepted money or drugs for sex; (2) needles; (3) they drain the blood out of your body. OK, not all the blood, but that’s what it would take for this stupid plan to work. Don’t get me wrong. Blood donation is a noble thing. Your columnist, not content to devote his intellect to global improvement, regularly con tributes a pint of his blood, too. But I don’t kid myself that I’m going to lose weight this way. A glance at the medical literature might lead you to think otherwise. In the October 2001 issue of Transfusion Medicine we find an article entitled “Six Hundred Reasons to Donate Blood,” by D.A. Redelmeier. This closely reasoned treatise consists

of two paragraphs. The first notes the disadvantages of blood donation, e.g., “Some risk of financial cost is assumed if sloppy application of the disinfectant causes a bad clothing stain.” The second paragraph provides the following analysis: “Perhaps blood donation could be promoted as one way to lose a bit of unwanted weight. Taking into account the composition and energy in each com ponent... I estimated that one unit of blood reflects about 600 cal of food intake. Hence, a sin gle donation can offset either 2 hamburgers, 3 * donuts, or 5 granola bars. Awareness of these statis tics might increase the appeal of blood donation, particularly among healthy adults who are con cerned about obesity.” Very droll, doc. But let’s quit the kidding. According to the American Red Cross, “People in good health who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate a unit of blood as often as every eight weeks.” That means you can donate about six times per year. One pound of body weight equals 3300 calories. So if we accept Redelmeier’s calculations, and you donate the maximum safe quantity of blood, and you eat and exercise just enough that otherwise you’d maintain your original weight, you’ll lose roughly one pound per year. Large charge. j EVERYBODY'S A CRITIC

Dear Cecil, I was wondering what is the point o f having an illustrator i f he doesn’t illustrate some o f the concepts that Cecil is trying to explain to the Teeming Millions? Especially when it comes to the more technical explana tions that are hard to visualize. Other sites like howstuffvorks.com kick your butt when it comes to things like that, they have 3-D animations and video clips and everything. Although they don’t have any o f the humor or style o f Cecil Adams, plus the site is way more commercialized than Straight Dope. I don’t expect the Straight Dope to be a library or encyclopedia when it comes to stuff like that, but it is a fountain of knowledge and I think i f you are fighting ignorance you should do it right. I can appreciate how a comedic cartoon can complement Cecil’s brand o f humor, and I mean no offense to Slug, but I still want more. — Galo Hush, cretin. Most weeks I’m dazzled by Slug’s artistic vision. But I’ll admit: There are times when I’d kill for a nice pie chart. CECIL ADAMS

Is there something you need to get straight? Cecil Adams can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic. Write Cecil Adams at the Chicago Reader, H E . Illinois, Chicago, IL 60611, or email him at cecil@chireader.com.

Blah Blah Blog echno-pop star Moby mulled over the weather as he sunned himself on a bright Los Angeles morning March 6. Learning from a friend’s email that it was “snowing and raining in New York” led him to wonder what people in L.A. do when it snows there — a d ’oh moment, he admits. “I said to myself, ‘Self, you’re a blither ing idiot, and you’ve spent too much time in cold places,” he relates. “This is Southern California. People here have to worry about lots of things, but snow and icey [sic] roads are not among them.’ Which is good for the people who live here.” It sure is, Moby. Later in this posting on his official Web site, he admits, “I have to announce that I played tennis after dinner last night... Is tennis the new hip and trendy EXTREME sport? Extreme tennis would be fun. Maybe you could play tennis and get chased around by hyenas on motorcycles.” Indeed, maybe you could. And should he attempt a one-love maneuver on a Harley with hyenas, his fans would be the first to know: Moby is one of a handful of international stars who maintains an online journal, known as a blog. Combining the words “Web” and “log,” the San Francisco design team Pyra created blogs in 1995 in the form of “Blogger,” a free online publishing tool for the masses. Blogger technology, which allows for instant posting, survived the dot.com bust and continues to boom, revealing that the alone-with-a-computer A FRIEND OF MOBY FLIPS THE BIRD

Humorist Dave Barry is not exactly a rock star, despite his membership in the sometime gag-group the Rock Bottom Remainders, along with such writers as Stephen King and Amy Tan. Nevertheless, his blog is very well updated and, not surprisingly, funny. What’s striking about these sites is not only their lush, monied presence, but how many of those musicians you’d think would use this medium to connect, don’t. Ani di Franco’s blog, where art thou? For that matter, female recording artist blogs in general, where art thou? Portishead, Radiohead and Beck offer nothing but milk-fed corporate commerce. And you’d think that Phish — Phish, fer crissake — would do more than emulate the dreariest aspects of The Grateful Dead machine, down to the copious playlists and who played uncredited mandolin on this or that track, 11/27/99. But alas, the real world is not per fect, and a cursory search of the digital one mirrors that. You could grouse that Moby’s February discourse on male health (smoking is bad) and his recent reflections on possible war (drink tea and play Scrabble instead) are ho-hum, but at least he’s keeping it real for his fans. That’s one kind of magic I can keep up with. ® Webfeat imagines there’s no heaven, it’s easy i f you try at webdfeat@yahoo.com.

TAKE A TASTE

M ink U p d a te — Relaxed and

rested from his vacation, Judge Ja m es C racitti has finally issued his ruling on the motion by pro hockey puck G raham M ink of Stowe for a change of venue. Mink, a former UVM hock ey player now with the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey . League, was arrested in 2001 and charged with aggravated assault, a felony. A senior at the time, he was kicked off the UVM team and turned pro. The former Catamount has entered a not-guilty plea. The Mink case, however, has dragged on much longer than anticipated. It’s been a year and a half since Mr. Mink allegedly kicked an unconscious man in the head during a Friday night brawl on Buell Street. Following a December hear ing, it’s taken Judge Crucitti almost three months to deny Mink’s notion to move his trial out of Burlap. The defendant, through his attorney R. J e ffr e y B ehm , claimed media coverage had ' compromised his right to a fair trial.” Mink argued that jurors will associate him with the infamous UVM men’s hock ey hazing scandal of a few years ago. Sure, it’s a stretch, but drag ging the case out until summer will allow the Minkster to finish his second complete pro hockey season without having to sit through a trial. In Friday’s ruling, Crucitti wrote, “The court finds that the defendant has failed to establish that a change of venue is appro priate.” Then on Saturday night, Mink went a little berserk in a game against the Providence Bruins. J e n n M e n e n d ez of the Portland Press Herald described the game as a “back-alley melee.” According to press accounts, the Minkster gave one of the Bruins a concussion with a vicious, blind-side elbow and then managed to rough up one of the linesmen in the ensuing brawl. That earned the Ver monter an automatic 10-game suspension. The Pirates needed police protection to leave the arena. As we go to press Tuesday, the AHL is reviewing the video tape of the game. Further sanc tions are expected. As for Mink’s case in District Court, no hearing is scheduled as of Tuesday. No trial date is in sight. One thing’s clear. Violent behavior is dealt with much quicker by the AHL than by the Vermont criminal justice system. ®

M ATTHEW TH O RSEN

he race for the exits was lost almost before it began. The occupants of the burning building, mosdy young peo ple, never stood a chance as the voracious fire tore through the walls and ceilings. Halls and doorways were quickly choked with smoke, flames and superheated air that consumed their victims in minutes. When it was all over, scores of people lay dead — some as young as 11 years old. The city’s shock and grief soon turned to out rage, as survivors and victims’ families demanded an immediate investigation into who was responsible for this tragic but utterly preventable disaster. The fire, which occurred on March 25, 1911, in the Asch Building in lower Manhattan, claimed the lives of Triangle Shirtwaist Company employees, most of whom were young immigrant women. The massive public outcry from that disaster resulted in some of the nation’s first fire-prevention laws, including man dates about fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fire escapes and routine fire inspections of large buildings. Ninety-two years and thousands of fire codes later, the lessons from that fire still couldn’t save the 98 people who died last month in the Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I. As with the stampede that killed 21 people in a Chicago nightclub days earlier, this conflagration underscores the challenges faced by fire safety experts when trying to protect large indoor crowds — there’s only so much they can do to pre vent tragedy. Ultimately, they say, it’s up to the bar owners and the public to do their part. “I can walk into a bar and do an inspection and find everything’s hunky-dory,” says Terry Francis, fire marshal and battalion chief with the Burlington Fire Department. “Fifteen minutes later ice can fall off the roof and block a fire exit, and the person working the door can say, ‘Screw it! The fire marshal is gone. I’m going to let in as many people as I can before last call.’” Francis says last month’s Rhode Island fire may have helped raise public awareness somewhat, but it hasn’t changed how he does his job. Burlington has the highest density of bars and nightclubs in the state, but it’s still one of the safest places in Vermont for music and concertgoers — 64 percent of all indoor perform ance venues are outfitted with sprinkler systems. On any given night, Francis and his staff are mak ing the rounds from bar to bar between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. looking for improperly charged fire extinguishers, locked or obstructed fire exits, blown exit lights and crowds that exceed the legal maximum occupancy. Not surprisingly, overcrowding remains the most common fire-code violation.

In fact, don’t expect to see indoor fire works anywhere in Vermont for some time. Governor Jim Douglas recently declared a moratorium on them. But as one downtown Burlington proprietor (who asked to remain anonymous) admits, “Probably every body breaks the law in terms of occupancy capacity. If we weren’t doing that, we wouldn’t be making the money we have to in order to stay open.” Even the most safety-conscious Burlington propri etors will soon feel the impact of last month’s Rhode Island fire — when their insurance policies come up for renewal. “Insurance rates were going up anyway, but this only exacerbates it,” says David Holton, presi dent of the Essex Agency, a local insurance company

that writes policies for many Burlington-area bars and restaurants. “The fears that underwriters have are manifested when they see an event like this happen.” Ultimately, fire safety experts like Francis say that bar and club patrons must do their part to assure their own safety. For example, when entering a club, he says, look around and locate the nearest exits in the event of an emergency. Should you find yourself in an overcrowded bar or club, Francis says, don’t hesitate-to call 911 and report it. Francis says it’s not so much a club’s design but the behavior of its patrons that can create the biggest prob lems. “I always get a little anxious about a place where they’re serving alcohol to people. That’s not a comment on society, it’s a comment on what I know about the fire fatalities in the last 20 years in the city of Burlington,” says Francis. “All of them have had at-risk behaviors — drinking, smoking, not being familiar with their sur roundings.

Fender lender Bill Carruth puts the fix on old annps

A Super-Sized Playhouse of Sound!

Paul Dresher and Zeitgeist

“ Sound Stage” Tuesday, March 25 at 7:30 pm

“THE FUTURE OF THE ARTS: a cross-pollination of music, visual art, and theater limited only by the imagination” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune) Paul Dresher’s extraordinary new music theater work explores music-making literally from the ground up . . . way up, in fact! A musical jungle gym with gigantic, one-of-a-kind instruments that soar over and around the incomparable performers of Zeitgeist, Sound Stage simultaneously evokes a childhood attic full of wonders and an evolving world of musical mystery and discovery. Sponsoredby

ill Carruth is a “wizard” — at least to his customers and friends in the Vermont music scene, who call his work nothing short of magical. When it comes to revamping a feeble old guitar amp, Carruth can not only nurse it back to STORY health but make it “go to 11” and wail K EN with more oomph and sparkle than the P IC A R D day it rolled off Leo Fenders factory floor. “We compared Bill’s work to just about IMAGE everything else we could find and, by JO R D A N golly, they’re the best amps we’ve ever SILVERM AN heard,” says Brian Brown, a guitar techni cian for Phish’s Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon. “He’s a genius. We don’t know how he does it.” A soft-spoken and deferential 56-yearold with gray, disheveled hair and a warm handshake, Carruth is more likely to blush than boast about such praise. In an indus try littered with stratospheric egos, he remains as humble as his one-room work shop. The cramped shed is attached to a

longtime customer and friend Joey Leone, a professional guitarist from Quechee who’s brought in several amps to be worked on. While Carruth gently removes the back panel from a mid-1960s Fender, Leone explains in a thick New York accent why Carruth services his amps — all 35 of them “Bill, because he’s a guitar player, speak in musical terms,” says Leone. “I can say, ‘Bill, I want an amp that can fill up the room without throwing a mike on it,’ and he knows exactly what I’m talking about.” Most music store technicians can repaii an amplifier according to its manufactur er’s specifications. Carruth can “mod” an amp —- that is, noodle with its internal circuitry in order to “voice” it a certain way. It’s a highly subjective process that he does entirely by ear — no high-tech gadgetry. He admits, “It’s about 90 percent art and 10 percent science.” A non-musician might ask: Where’s the artistry in puttering with circuit boards?

two-story farmhouse in Underhill Flats, where Carruth lives with his fiancee and two sons. Inside, the quaint clutter of black cabi nets, microphone stands and miscellane ous electronic doodads in various states of disassembly is reminiscent of a horse barn tack room. But instead of bridle ropes, halters and riding crops, the walls are a tangle of amplifier cables, headphones and beat-up old guitars, many of them missing their strings. There’s also a Day-Gloorange Starline Rhythm Boys poster and even a framed photo of an amplifier cir cuit Carruth custom-built from scratch several years ago. A Zen-like sign above the door reads, “Observe your thoughts.” When I drop in on Carruth, he’s with

Isn’t that like calling the telephone repair man a Picasso or the cable guy a Matisse? After all, it’s just an amplifier, a big, black crate that pumps up the volume, fuzzes the sound a little and accumulates beer cups at bar gigs, right? Wrong. When it comes to the classic workhorses of rock ’n’ roll, 40- and 50year-old black-faced Fenders, there’s as much art as science behind their distinc tive sound. Carruth swivels around in a squeaky old desk chair that’s probably as old as the amplifier he’s tinkering with. From the bottom drawer of a heavy metal desk he pulls out a handful of old resistors and capacitors — colorful, bite-sized nuggets he’s winnowed from years of dis mantling old gear.

Years ago, he explains, capacitors and resistors * weren’t manufactured to the rigorous, uniform specifications they are today. So while professional musicians seek out old amps for their durability and clean, reliable sound, ironically it’s the minor defects and subtle variations in their internal com ponents that give each one its uniqueness. A gui tarist might liken it to the difference between a new compact disc and vintage vinyl. While one sounds flawless, the other’s got more “soul. Through painstaking research and trial-anderror, Carruth has learned how to tweak each com ponent on the circuit in order to produce the subtle variations in color and texture his customers request. He can make an amp sound “warmer,” “crisper” or “more ringing.” Such esoteric traits, he says, don’t show up on an oscilloscope. Carruth specializes in Fender amps from the 1950s through the early 1970s, but he’ll work on just about any make or model “as long as it’s old.” He won’t touch anything built after the mid-1970s, when amp manufacturers switched to solid-state components. “I determined some years ago that I have a curse on me for printed circuit boards,” he says. He vowed to stick with vacuum tubes.

Carruth stu m b le d u p o n h is ca r ee r m o re o u t

of necessity than design. In the fall of 1965 he was heading to college at Cornell University from his home in Pennsylvania when he detoured by Manny’s Music in New York City. He blew his entire semester’s food money on musical equip ment, including an old Fender Twin amp he picked up for $90. (Today, he says, it’s worth about $2000.) For the rest of the year he lived on peanutburter-and-jelly sandwiches from the frat house across the street. Since he had no money for repairs on his amp when it began having problems, he got up the courage to tinker with it himself, and found he had a knack for it. Soon, he was repairing amps for friends and other local musicians. Carruth eventually dropped out of college. At age 27 he moved to Vermont, where he’d spent summers since he was a child. For years he played in bands and modified amps for fellow musicians. Then about 15 years ago, Calliope Music in Burlington offered him a job. Before long Carruth was doing major reconstructive surgery: He would take late-’60s silver-faced Fenders and “black-face” them, or rewire them to standards before 1965, when CBS bought the company and, he says; allowed the amps’ quality to deteriorate.

Over the years Carruth has built a number of amps from scratch, mixing designs from different eras to create entirely new sounds. Last week, he finished a massive project for Leone — converting a 1965 accordion amp into a guitar amp. It took 35 hours. Whereas a typical amp might have eight or nine vacuum tubes, this one had 69, each wired to a different note on the accordion. “We ended up with something that was transcendent to anything I had anticipated,” says Leone. “When I tried out the amp, it was like a religious experience.” “It was quite a project,” Carruth agrees. “In all likelihood there is no other amp like it in the world.” Today, he attracts a broad clientele, from jazz guitarists to metal heads to classic rockers. If they have one thing in common, it’s their distaste for the “sterile and junky sound” of contemporary solidstate equipment. Carruth has worked for a number of big-name musicians, including Anastasio. He asked Carruth to modify a ’60s-era Fender Deluxe Reverb for him about four years ago. The Phish guitarist was so pleased with the finished product that he now uses it as his main stage amp — and had Carruth build two duplicates as back-ups. The Phish fellows were just as impressed with Carru*h’s attention to detail. “About a year ago we had Bill up to Trey’s studio and he took every amp apart and redid every solder joint,” Brown recalls. “The guy just perseveres until he would kill himself to achieve the objective... and we had to force him to take our money!” Though he still charges customers only $35 an hour, Carruth has developed a deeper appreciation for the value of his time. About two and a half years ago he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Fortunately, the tumor was caught early enough to be treatable, and these days he says he feels healthi er than ever. He’s cut back on his hours a bit, eats better and practices yoga. And he’s getting remar ried this summer. Though his regular band, The Imposters, broke up last summer, Carruth has played a few freelance gigs in Canada recently. He still uses a cheap Silvertone guitar he bought 37 years ago at Sears'. “It’s got a distinct vibe of its own,” he says. “I’m just enough of a contrarian to play that rather than something expensive.” Still, Carruth’s true love remains the alchemy of amplification. Like a blind seer, he can navigate instinctively the hidden labyrinths of circuitry, where electrons masquerade as sound waves. “A vio linist will wax eloquently about his Stradivarius. Its the same thing with a guitar player and his amp,” Carruth muses. “Put the two of them together and they can create a lot of magic.” ®

A STORY

K A R EN SHIMIZU IMAGE

ANDY DUBACK

n inventory of harpsichord parts suggests the instru ment is part animal, part vegetable, part building'" and part junk drawer. W hat are we to make of something that’s made up of spine, belly, balance rail, bridge, tail, cheek, compass, damper, frame, nut, rose, pins, skunktail sharps, split keys, short octaves and jacks — and whose jacks themselves have slides and tongues, and might be doglegged? I’ve been reading about harpsichords to prepare for an interview with Robert Hicks, who builds them in South Lincoln. When I called him to set it up, I admitted that I didn’t know my jacks from my elbow. He gruffly let me know I’d better bone up. Now I’m feeling anxious on two fronts — both the ancient instrument and the recalcitrant builder seem prickly and unapproachable. After several miles on icy dirt roads, I reach Hicks’ cedar-sided house, its blue roof just barely visible from the road. Hicks lives and works on the outskirts of South Lincoln, a stone’s throw from the Green Mountain National Forest. His workshop, which he built with the help of a neighbor, is

responsive frame capable of communicating the sub tle vibrations of a gently plucked string. A modern grand piano is under about 38,000 pounds of ten sion; a modern harpsichord sustains a mere 6000. Harpsichord enthusiasts are touchy about associ ating their instrument with the piano. When the piano eclipsed the harpsichord in the early 1800s — after 400 years of popularity — harpsichords seized from the Paris aristocracy were burned for firewood. The instrument wasn’t made, played or much missed until a handful of 20th-century piano-makers revived it, creating heavy-framed hybrids whose pathetic sound bore little resem blance to that of a true harpsichord. It wasn’t until the late 1940s that light-bodied, historically derived harpsichords were built. Hicks’ instruments are all copies — but not slavish ones — of extant antique harpsichords. “I try to preserve the virtues of the instruments, but without dupli cating their faults,” he explains. When Hicks talks about his harpsichords, he refers to them by the name of their original maker.

firmed his initial impressions of the Stehlin, and more: “As I pored over the drawing,” he says, “I began noticing things I didn’t like.” After a careful appraisal, he visited the Stehlin in person and played it. As he had expected, it had a sweet, full tone. With a smile, he says, “I really fell for it.” On a table in Hicks’ workshop, an unfinished . Stehlin lies on its side like a great wing. It’s a rainbow of different woods: Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, poplar and ash. “It’s going to be one of my best instru ments,” Hicks says. “I don’t care if it’s five different colors.” As he identifies the different parts of the frame, his knuckles graze the soundboard. Though he barely touches it, it lets out a low, drum-like moan. The Stehlin’s soundboard is made from Sitka spruce — a rare, highly resonant wood from Alaska. To see where Hicks stores his soundboards, we head up to the attic. It is cool and dark, exposed insulation buffering the low, pitched ceiling. Long, thin boards lie in a heap. Hicks sifts through the pile, lifts a piece to his ear and raps it with his knuckles. The first piece emits a dull thud, and he

Not bad!” Last o f all, he tries a piece of cedar clapboard left over from when he re-sided his house. He gives it a rap. It rings like a bell. A finished Stehlin sits in Hicks’ living room. It’s the first one he ever built and he has no plans to sell it. As I scribble notes about the floral paintings on the soundboard, Hicks puts the Stehlin through its paces with a series of chord progressions. I put down my pen. Rich, golden notes roll out of the harpsichord. Each note is piquant, exquisite, with a harp’s deep resonance and a cascading liveliness like a handful o f pennies flung down a flight of stairs. The Stehlin is a double-manual, with a twotiered keyboard. Hicks couples and uncouples it to switch and combine octaves, but I’m too lost in the sound to keep track of the transitions. The air glit ters with rich, roiling notes, and I feel as if I’m being drenched in sound.

I am startled when Hicks reaches into the harpsi:hord’s maw and pulls out a long, narrow wooden :ooth: a jack. The small, thorn-like thing jutting out from one side is the plectrum — the harpsichords ducking mechanism. Plectra are hand-carved, tradi tionally from crow, raven and goose quill, though most modern makers substitute plastic, which is more durable and affordable. Hicks uses both. To get his feathers, he heads over io the Addison Wildlife Preserve during hunting seaion and loiters by the game warden’s office, where turners must check in with their booty. After getting he hunters’ approval, Hicks personally pulls the pri mary flight feathers from the dead geese; a process that he does not enjoy. “It’s kind of awkward,” he lays. “I’m vegetarian.” In spite of the robust Early Music scene in the United States and the resurgence of interest in the harpsichord in recent years, the market for the instru ment is slow-moving: Hicks builds and sells about one instrument each year. Though he has a modest Web site to advertise his instruments, he makes most sales through instrument exhibitions and the occasional convention. He goes to the Boston Early Music [Festival to exhibit his harpsichords. Usually someone will buy an instrument there. Once someone bought pne on the spot, though harpsichords are rarely an impulse buy. Though Hicks prefers to retain some modesty about his work, he admits that in 1995, his debut at the festival, he “stole the show.” Harpsichord rentals have provided “a lot of bread and butter” in recent years. “When I buy a new car, I run around with a tape measure,” he says. “The car’s got to be 104 inches from dash to tail on the diago nal, and it has to be five-speed — I don’t care about anything else.” The Lane Series and the Vermont Mozart Festival regularly rent Hicks’ harpsichords. If you’re at a harpsichord performance, you might spot him darting out to do a spot of touch-up tuning durlng intermissions. Hicks builds all his instruments “on speculation” rather than to-order; he hasn’t built any instruments on commission for 20 years. “Not building on commission Teans I don’t have a future,” he says. But he’s willing to sacrifice security for the freedom to build according to his own curiosity and passion. As he writes on his Web Slte>“I suspect that the driving force behind a great !nstrument is a curiosity, an engaged perplexity which *eePs a maker learning throughout his career.” (7)

alent is simply not equally distributed amongst us earthlings, and this fact is some times painfully obvious. Case in point: LeRoy Preston seems able to write songs with scarce ly more effort than most of us require to write checks. The Vermont native may be STORY best known for his tenure in the ’70s with the *?AMELA country-swing band Asleep at the Wheel, but ^ S T O N a glance at the BMI Web site tells a longer , 7 ' Q f the 400-some songs Preston guesses I MAGES es penned, are registerecj with that JO R D A N licensing organizauv, j • .

while Phish fans are legion, and Rutland native Tyminski grabbed awards for singing “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow” on the 2001 hit soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Preston is not exactly a household name. Most songwriters, in fact, are not. But try Roseanne Cash or k.d. lang — they had hits with LeRoy Preston songs: “My Baby Thinks He’s a Train” and “I Wonder,” and “Full Moon Full of Love,” respectively. For that matter, so did Asleep at the Wheel. Ever hear “Shout Wah Hey,” “Bump Bounce Boogie,” or “The Letter That Johnny Read”? Preston has written for or with dozens of other artists, including Ruth Brown, Los

Except he wouldn’t. Claim them, that is. Preston’s gift for clever wordplay and catchy melody is balanced by an equal measure of modesty, and the combination makes for a guy other people rave about. “LeRoy is the most underappreciated songwriter in America!” enthuses Danny Coane, rhythm guitarist and vocalist for The Starline Rhythm Boys. “He’s written some really unique, cool stuff.” Coane’s popular local honky-tonk trio has included a Preston tune on each of their two CD releases to date: Buckets of Love” on Better Luck is a Barroom Away, and “Floodin’ My Mind W ith You” on Honky-tonk Livin’. “Before Phish and before Dan Tyminski, there was LeRoy Preston,” continues Coane, who has known Preston since their Spaulding High School days in Barre in the ’60s.

Lobos, The Cate Brothers, Marshall Cren shaw, Maria Muldaur, C.J. Chenier, Lee Roy Parnell... and Burlington’s Rick Norcross. Also a Vermont native (Hardwick-born), the impresario of the Green Mountain Choo Choo food festival and the leader of Rick & the Ramblers, Norcross says, “I’d call myself a behind-the-scenes LeRoy Preston tribute band... Hes the one who turned me on to Western Swing.” Indeed. The Ramblers have recorded 10 Preston songs on two albums, and perform even more in concert. Those tunes tend toward classic country themes: love, losing love, trucker-friendly paeans to the open road. They make yoti want to hit the dance floor — or the bottle. But they’re not “for mula,” Coane insists. “LeRoy is deeper, more introspective.”

Norcross puts it this way: “He just has a way o f saying wicked mean ingful things in very few words, with a great melody and hook. And he’s such a gentleman and a truly great guy — I’ve never heard him say an unkind Word about anyone. Well,” he adds with a chuckle, maybe about modern country music. He really loves old traditional songs, all those old guys.”

Bslort h« become$ out of thost old guys himself, Preston is likely to turn out even more songs. Only he no longer writes in Aus tin, where Asleep at the Wheel was and still is based, or Nashville, where he lived 12 years writing for Bug. Home now is an 1830 brick farmhouse in Waltham he shares with his wife Jan Jacobs, her daughter Anna, a cat and a dog. And he’s holding down an 8-to-5 as retail sales supervisor of Country Home Products in Vergennes. “It’s a natural day job for me,” Preston offers, “because I use that stuff.” His customers may not get a glimpse of his biceps, each tattooed with an image and a song title: “Dead Man” and “Mama Tried.” But surely some of the locals and tourists »

who stop in CHP for, say, a DR Trimmer Mower have wondered about that gold front tooth — Preston got the distinctive cap after a fall broke both his front teeth years ago. Otherwise he looks like the unassuming guy his reputation suggests: medium build, cropped, softly graying hair, wideset, guileless eyes and an imperturbable calm. At age 53, Preston seems content. After nine years and a million miles with the Wheel, he lost his taste for touring two decades ago. But, he muses, “I’ve imagined a trio — a guitarist, stand-up bass and drums — doing my songs. I’d still like to do something like that.” He might have another novel in him, too; he’s written a couple already, both unpublished - co ' lecting dust in the attic along with h-Hf^ W heel memorabilia. Including a N-'Aen Grammy. The horn of the gram -r^one and the nameplate have fallen 1^tt^e statuette Preston and other j^tfidmates received in 1978. Ironically for this pro lific songwriter, the award was for Best Country Instrumental Performance of Count Basie’s “One O ’Clock Jump.” Chances are that Grammy would still be aban doned in the attic even if it had been for a LeRoy Preston original. The tidy house yields no clue, much less a shrine, to his musical accomplishments. Jacobs has to persuade her husband to haul out the yellowed photos, posters and other artifacts for a reporter’s visit. These — and a little nudging — seem to provide the impetus Preston needs to ease out his story. Honored as a 200-year-old Vermont family dur ing the state’s Bicentennial celebrations in 1976, the Prestons had been dairy farmers in Strafford. After they sold the farm and moved to Barre, Eugene LeRoy Preston started playing music, first as a drummer for the mop-top-era VIPs — a band that included guitarist Kip Meeker, now a staple of the Burlington music scene, and Jon Emery, who moved to Austin to pursue a country career. (Em ery has recorded a CD of his old friend’s songs, aptly entitled V.I.P., The LeRoy Preston Songbook.)

Danny Coane remembers competing against The VIPs with his own outfit, The Jesters, at a highschool battle of the bands. By the time Preston adopted his middle name at age 19, he had met Ray Benson and Reuben Gosfield, a.k.a. Lucky Oceans, in Boston and started Asleep at the Wheel. Influenced by the “cosmic rockabilly” band Commander Cody & the Lo^ Planet Airmen, “We decided to be a srt 7 country act,” recalls Preston, “h wC ,.t0 ,. . , , ,TJr rock acts like Alice nippies and also open n „ ,.r . . Coo er ” Urg- ’ “V ^ ocv to come to California, the Ties ‘took a semester from college” and .iever went back. They were signed by United Artists and scored with remakes: Bob Wills’ “Take Me Back to Tulsa” and Louis Jordan’s “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie.” The first real national Top 10 was a Preston original, “The Letter That Johnny Walker Read,” in 1975, on their new label, Capitol. The band moved to Austin in the early ’70s. They found it a better place than Berkeley to “settle down,” given their music’s Texas roots, Preston says. But “settle” is hardly the right word. The band was awake at the wheel more often than sleeping in their own beds for nearly a decade. A couple of gold records and the continued zeal of fans kept them going at a dizzying pace, and kept Preston writing. The band swelled to 11 members. After one particularly grueling three-month stretch — during which the old tour bus officially hit its million-mile mark — Preston was “kind of a burnout.” Pianist Floyd Domino had already quit and the band was at a crossroads. In 1979, Preston hung up his spurs. “Ray Benson is the big image [of Asleep at the Wheel], but LeRoy was the heart o f it, as far as original songwriting goes,” says Coane. “When he left, that virtually ended; they went to covers.” Playing other people’s songs wasn’t a bad thing for the Wheel: They earned nine Grammies over the years — four of them for their 1999 Bob Wills tribute album, Ride With Bob. Preston reunited with the Wheel for a retrospective album, Back to

the Future No*■ ~Live atArizona Charlies, in 1997, and stih -d7s *n touc^ wkh his old bandmates. Just <>s ago Benson called to “borrow” a song idea P re sto n crafted long ago. After the Wheel years, Preston stayed in Austin for a bit, forming a band and his own publishing entity, both called Whiskey Drinkin’ Music. In 1985 he returned briefly to Vermont, but the following year was lured south again to work for Bug Music. The move proved lucrative: When Roseanne Cashs version of My Baby Thinks He’s a Train” was number one, Preston reveals, he made about $100,000 in royalties. Preston may have a different train to thank for another happy twist of fate. Rick Norcross began inviting him up to Vermont to perform at the Choo Choo festivals. During a Norcross-related visit in 1997, Prestons sister Marilyn met him at the airport with one of her friends: Jan Jacobs. It was a song-wor thy case of love at first sight, and the pair has been together since. About songwriting now, Preston demurs, “I don’t do it all the time. If something crosses my mind and I know it’s a song, I’ll write it down.” Accordingly, the royalty checks have dwindled to about five or six grand a year, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Nor does he try to “keep up” with newer music — he and Jacobs are almost apologetic about their scant supply of CDs. Asked to name his own favorite songwriters, Preston doesn’t hesitate: Merle Haggard, Blacky Farrell, Dolly Parton, old pal Jon Emery, James Brown, Hank Williams Sr.... Wait. James Brown? “Live at the Apollo is my favorite American music album still,” Preston admits', flashing that gold tooth in a grin. Wh&t makes a good song, then? He quickly quali fies, “for me,” then explains: “It^ got an element of my scale of soul*. I m not opposed to clever. You’ve only got three minutes to capture someone’s attention and hold it. On the other hand,” Preston adds, “the listener has to say, ‘That was three minutes well spent.’ They laugh, they cry, they hum a little, they dance.” (7)

MATTHEW TH O RSEN

fter returning from vacation a few weeks ago, Doug Lang discovered he had only two hours to write the music for a Vermont Maple Board radio commercial. So the 45-year-old recording whiz sat down and composed a jaunty, swing-style tune that would help pro mote ike states sugaring season. Sweet. It suggest fun,” Lang notes, listening to the ditty he crafted on deadline and played to accompany a verbal pitch on the joys of turn ing sap into syrup. “If the objective of the script is about having a good time, yoU can say a lot of that with the way you use music." His company, Shadow Productions in Burlington, is among a handful of inde pendent studios run by area artists who cre ate broadcast spots or other media efforts for business customers. Though we hear their work all the time, they generally toil in anonymity. And that’s just the point. It’s their customers that count. In Lang’s case, that might be Magic Hat or Vermont Teddy Bear or Vermont State Employees Credit Union — for which he recently completed six different ads with background music ranging from techno to jazz. “Clients tend to be less interested in the music per se than in the results they get

that nothing moves an ad along as effectively as a jingle or an underlying instrumental theme. This process ensures that Vermont’s pool of talent will bring some eloquence to the dollars and cents of the marketplace. In his ads, Lang most often delivers that eloquence himself on guitar or cello. He also hires other performers, such as saxophonist Chris Peterman or fiddler Gene White, to provide an even richer tapestry. Sometimes, however, the entire track emerges from a syn thesizer that can emit 2500 different sounds. But that gizmo does have its limitations. ^th esizers tend to be best for percus sion, Lang “you can’t get the kind of subtlety from a »*-cfiine that a live musi cian offers. If it needs to w orisp and haye character, we go for real people." ^

Tammy F letcher is n o t o n ly real,

she’s a dynamo. Her powerful voice can be heard on radio and TV belting out songs that soulfully extol the virtues of various enterprises. On an extended jingle for Pet Food Warehouse, she mimics feline purrs and growls. Her predecessor, the late Zoot Wilson of the Dog Tones and N-Zones,

“Y o u b u ild s o m e th in g th e w a y a p a in te r w o u ld . Y o u tw e a k . Y o u e ra s e . Y o u a d d . It’s c o m p o s itio n a l.” DOUG LANG with it,” Lang says, seated in front of an enormous mixing board and two video monitors at the North Willard Street opera tion he runs with partner Matt Dugan. “Some have limited musical vocabularies.” For one of Lang’s steady accounts, The B Side, that equation is a bit different. “Most of their radio ads go on the Buzz,” he says, referring to the modern-rock radio station, “so they can do things with a certain edge.” “Ours is a lifestyle business, and part of that lifestyle is music,” points out Rob Quinn, who owns the downtown Burlington skateand snowboarding emporium. “Our ads have had the same music for five years. Its very rec ognizable, easy to listen to, but maybe a litde bluesy, with kind of a cool beat.” Hip promotional entrepreneurs like Lang — including Bill Kinzie of 2much Music in Burlington and Peter Wilder of Ergo Com munications in Morrisville — seem to know

used a canine approach. For Vermont Furniture Galleries, Fletcher was hired to croon in the now-defunct “Dream on!” campaign and the current melodic exhortation to “Wake up!” Whatever the business or brand name, Fletcher brings enthusiasm to her endeavors. “They want to project a certain image,” says the Eden resident. “I give them all I have. Its a symbiotic relationship.” Vermont Furniture Galleries manager Todd Renning agrees. “Music in an ad sets our store apart from others,” he speculates. “It gives us an identity, and we hope [the refrain] gets -stuck in people’s heads.” Fletcher recently returned from a trek to Iceland on behalf of a tourism organization that was showcasing Vermont goods and services — including a musical component. “I was the entertainment,” she explains.

MEDIA KEYS IN TO COMMERCE

Magical! En g ag em e n t Ring

It’s hardly news that advertisers use music to sell commodities. Even the elusive Bob Dylan has recently leant his distinctive croak to the latest Victorias Secret television commercial. Such an alliance might per suade idealists that the world is coming to an end, but, let’s face it: There’s no longer much of a divide between culture and commerce. “Business is the most powerful force on the planet,” muses Bill Kinzie, a drummer whose Pine Street video production company tries to focus on social responsi bility. With clients like Stonyfield Farm Yogurt and Seventh Generation, 2much Music — which is co owned by Rob Michalak — produces so-called “indus trial documentaries” and also supplies the soundtracks. “These companies want to sell products, but they also want to get their message out,” Kinzie says. “So the work we do for them is used for public relations. They’re sort of video news releases. And everything we do goes out with our original music.” In late February he traveled to Mexico and Guatemala with officials from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters to shoot a piece on serious challenges facing the farmers who grow the beans. The Americans did field recordings of indigenous music, paying particular attention to a children’s band that greeted them in one Guatemalan village. Back home, that cheerful ballad — rendered by the kids on accordion, mandolin, gui tar and tambourine — has been enhanced by Vermont musicians such as keyboardist Brian Bull. The completed documentary will premiere at a National Coffee Association convention in Florida this week, followed by a screening next month at the Specialty Coffee Association gathering in Boston. “Frontline World,” a PBS program, plans to air some of Kinzie’s footage on a late March show about the global coffee crisis. In scoring the eight-minute piece, Kinzie applies music at the beginning and the end, and uses it to underline important dialogue and give momentum as the scenes change. “It’s really sound design,” he says. “We have a whole bag of tricks.”

The trick to a d v ertisin g , according to P eter

Wilder, is “knowing what makes human communica tion special.” As the audio and video brains behind Ergo Communications for the last 13 years, he has worked on everything from local commercials to the new theme for Vermont Public Radios “Switchboard” program to musical interludes for Disney World. Wilder also wrote the soundtrack for New England's Great River: Discovering the Connecticut, which Vermont Public Television will broadcast on Friday and Saturday (March 15 and 16). Wilder, who has won seven regional Emmy Awards for his TV documentaries, can also boast about being a one-man band. “For my own acoustic or electroni cally generated music, I play keyboard, mandolin, banjo, guitar, bass and drums,” he acknowledges. “I

hire extra talent to do lead vocals, because mine are pretty much like strangling a cat.” Wilder writes music in any style. “My motto is: No genre shall be left unscathed,” he quips. After more than two decades in the field — he col laborated with Doug Lang in the early 1980s — Wilder observes that some of his earliest commercial ventures refuse to die: “We did a pop-country Vermont Transit ad that ran for something like 10 years. They got their money’s worth.” Ditto for the kid-friendly Yellow Turtle jingle, a Lang production from way back that’s still a favorite on the airwaves. Wilder generally frames his music around lyrics and text'supplied by Morrisville publicist Mary Collins. “The client needs time to yak about their product, so I create the donut in the middle for that,” he says. “I can compose at the drop of a hat.” He’s also adept at scouting resources, such as vocalists Tracy Tomasi of Hinesburg, Tracy Wolters of Hardwick and Meg Chambers of Colchester. “There’s a general acceptance that Vermont is an undiscovered country as far as talent is concerned,” Wilder says. “One of my jobs is to know where all those people are.” Sandra Wright, for example, can be found in Ludlow. She started out in opera, then switched to popular music “when my voice dropped too many octaves,” says the blues diva, who performs regularly in Burlington. Before relocating to Vermont in 1992, Wright had already recorded a nationwide radio commercial for Coca-Cola in her native Tennessee. “I never actually heard it; I just saw the residuals,” she says, referring to the periodic payments an artist usually receives for such work. Later, she warbled for an Oprah Winfrey promo tion that ran only in Los Angeles. “It won an award,” Wright recalls. “Not me — it.” In the Green Mountain State, she summoned her old skills when performing a make-believe aria to advertise Killington’s Pasta Pot restaurant. Another spot, for Heritage Ford and Toyota in South Burling ton, was more bluesy and jazzy. “All I know is, I didn’t have to do opera,” Wright says. Unlike opera, jingles aren’t exactly high art. But they’re still art. “You build something the way a painter would,” Doug Lang explains. “You tweak. You erase. You add. It’s compositional.” He was part of a team that produced the now-fre quent radio spots in which a girl rhapsodizes about the “Pop-Pop-Pontiac” that she has named Webster. Lang wrote the music, played it, and recorded the dia logue. This coy, youth-oriented pihe de resistance is4all in a day’s work for this versatile guy. Adaptability is a virtue, if not a necessity, in Ver mont. “You have to do many different things to survive in this rural area,” Tammy Fletcher contends. “When I sing on commercials, it helps me make a living and never gets in the way of my career. I embrace it.” (Z)

t’s 11 o’clock on a Friday evening. Outside Burlington’s Waiting Room, a crowd of about 20 people are restlessly gathered into a ramshackle line, impatient to gain entrance-. It’s one of the first warmish nights in March, yet those in the queue sway slightly, shield ing themselves from icy gusts down St. Paul Street. Thick snaps of bass and snippets of a wavering, soulful vocal float through the air whenever the door opens. Inside, DJ A-Dog has just taken the stage. Dressed in a baggy gray T-shirt and a blue-and-white mesh cap, he shakes a few hands, takes a slow drag off an American Spirit and settles in behind his two silvery turntables. Inching the volume higher on

eyes dart across the room, appraising one body after another. Yet tonight is slightly different. Along with the suited business types and yuppies-in-training are skaters and club kids — even if their Gravis jackets and knit caps are also in the requisite black. As the older dinner patrons and their gold cards hit the street, they’re replaced by a flow of young music lovers, thirsty for the sound o f hip-hop, funk and soul. A-Dog hunches his shoulder, cradling the headphones to his ear. Listening intently, he cues up a record, slides the fader on his mixer to the left and straight ens as the first snaking notes of deep dub

“S o m e p e o p le u s e s c ra tc h in g ju s t a s a w a y to c re a te n o is e , to fill in s p a c e s . A -D o g u s e s h is tu rn ta b le s a s a n in s tru m e n t.” MC the classic funk track pulsing through the room’s speakers, he cuts his hand across the record, sending forth a staccato flurry of notes. A soft murmur of praise rises from the assembling crowd. Heads nod in approval. A-Dog lets slip a thin smile, then turns to rummage through a black crate overflowing with 12-inch vinyl. The Waiting Room boasts a swank, big-city feel, and tonight is no exception. College kids in sweaters and designer jeans mill about, sucking on bottles of imported beer. Black-clad waiters glide expertly through the crowd, balancing trays of martinis and dark microbrews. Inquiring

pour forth. Onlookers and friends meander up to the stage to pay their respects. ADog acknowledges each one with a smile or a high-five, lights people’s smokes and sips casually on a Bud. After a few minutes he pauses, finds another record and seamlessly segues into a steamy slice of soul, In the bathroom, a tall, heavy-set kid in a red hoodie bumps into a framed picture o f Thelonious Monk. “Oh, man, wouldn’t wanna mess with the M onk,” he guffaws, drunk. Outside, a guy brags with his friends about his own DJ gigs in New York City, how he’s leaving his “old lady.” The bears go on.

DJ A -D og, a .k .a . A n d y W illia m s, w a s born in

1975 in New Jersey. His mother had immigrated to the United States from the Philippines and worked a variety of odd jobs while raising her son. When Andy was 10, he and his mom moved north, to the decidedly less urban environs o f St. Albans. An only child, he learned early on the importance of entertaining himself. “I was never bored growing up,” he explains during an interview at the Seven Days office. “I was always good at making myself content, being busy with little projects.” Another thing that developed early was his pas sion — make that obsession — for music. “I got 'really into making mix tapes, you know,” Williams says. “I would switch back and forth from my one turntable to the tape deck, making these little mixes.” He reports staying up until the wee hours, concentrating on this frustrating and time-consum ing process and quietly creating his aural collages. As he grew older, Williams got into skateboard ing, making frequent forays to the streets'of Burlington. Through the local music scene as well as skate- and snowboard culture, he was turned on to hip-hop and its roots — funk, soul and reggae. But that wasn’t all. “I always liked hip-hop, but I was also listening to metal back then, man,” he admits. “Metallica and all that shit.” After graduating from high school, Williams just wasn’t feeling” like going to college, and soon left St. Aibans for the relative goldmine, culturally speaking, of the Queen City. He was 18 years old. At a party that year, Williams observed a fledgling Burlington DJ named Matty L. spinning hip-hop. We were partying, you know, drinking beer and ranging out,” he remembers Matt Lawrence with a smile. “But as soon as I saw what Matty was doing, I svas hooked. From that moment on, I was stuck.” However, with no turntables and very little Honey to invest in records, getting started proved lifficult. Riding his bicycle, Williams would spend ach day cruising town and dropping off job appli^tions. Finally he found part-time work at places ‘ke TJ Maxx and the Sheraton, which provided

enough cash to pay the rent and feed his newfound infatuation. A major breakthrough came when a roommate, who was into the club sounds of house and techno, purchased two turntables and set them up in their small apartment. Now able to practice, Williams quickly began to hone his technique. Using his old skateboarding nickname A-Dog, he started spin ning at house parties and small clubs around town. Though the pay was poor, Williams found himself at the center of a growing Vermont hip-hop scene. Things began to pick up. A friend announced he was selling two Techniques 1200 turntables — standard fare for professional DJs that usually retail at more than $500 apiece. Williams borrowed money from a friend and bought the used tables for a cool $650. To this day, they are his decks of choice for gigs around town. After landing a job at The B Side, Williams began to meet employees of Burton and other ’board companies. Connections were made, and soon he was touring the country as the official DJ of Analog Snowboards, a Burton offshoot. Though not a team rider, Williams traveled to competitions and expos, providing a hip soundtrack for the team. Two years and one U.S. Winnebago tour later, DJing is a full-time gig for A-Dog, now 27. “Anybody can grab a record and move it back and forth,” he comments. “But for me, it can be anything — a horn, bass, voice. It’s making me feel good just trying to explain it. , “You know,” Williams adds, “maybe everything was a little rough when I was younger. But I’m super-fortunate right now. I could be lazy, wake up each day, blaze weed and sit around, but I want to work, because I don’t want this to ever end.”

"As small business owners, we must choose carefully from among the many advertising options available. We're grateful to our loyal local customers, but realized that to continue to grow we needed let the larger Chittenden County population know about Red Elm's custom work as well as the tremendous savings to be found on antiques in our consignment shop. As regular readers of Seven Days ourselves, we decided we need ed to reach their well-educated, affluent demographic to help our business grow. In addition, we knew there were budget and environmentally conscious folks out there who would be willing to drive to Montpelier to take advantage of our com petitive prices and who would prefer to purchase a vintage piece of furniture or restore a family piece than to buy new. Our salesperson is helpful, creative, and respectful of our time, understanding the needs o f our two small businesses without the typical salesperson 'hustle.' As a direct result of our Seven Days advertising our phone is ringing more than ever and new customers are walking in the door, including one customer who drove down from Essex Junction with our Seven Days ad in her hand!

more hands, smiles, cracks a joke. With a cold Bud and a fresh smoke, he glances around excitedly at the scene as a fellow DJ steps to the stage and puts the needle to a track by reggae legend Horace Andy. “My M.O. is really not MTV-style,’’ Williams says, explaining why he likes playing for a diverse crowd. “People here get into whatever I put on, though I’ll play more popular’ hip-hop in the second set.” As if on cue, a tall, short-haired man in a longsleeved gray shirt saunters over and asks, “Hey, man, when you gonna bring it off this crawl?” Another guy in black-rimmed glasses requests Gang Starr. “Time to get goin’,” Williams says with a smile and slides off his stool.

“Some people use scratching just as a way to cre ate noise, to fill in spaces,” Thompson notes. “ADog uses his turntables as an instrument. W hen he has a scratch solo, he’s playing notes, just like any other instrument. He’s really about to break through,” Thompson continues. “I see so much improvement in him just about every day. One of these days, someone’s going to come along, hear him and just say, ‘Come with us.’”

on stage. Cigarette in hand, he fires up one of the tables and dives into a jittery, bouncing beat. The Waiting Room crowd is younger now, a sea of puffy parkas and skate wear. Guys wander by looking ragged, as if fresh off the mountain. Impeccably dressed young women sip elegant glasses of pink Cosmopolitans. To the right of the stage, dreadlocked kids seated around a large table bob their heads, lost in the swaying sounds. One petite girl with a mass of dirty-brown hair sings along, gestic ulating with small white hands.

“I’m super-fortunate right now. I could be lazy, wake up each day, blaze weed and sit around, but I want to work, because I don’t want this to ever end.” DJ local scene for more than a decade. After meeting A-Dog six years ago, the two became fast friends and soon began working together. While Thompson was doing a stint as M C for saxophon ist Dave Grippo’s Funk Band, A-Dog asked to join in on turntables. It took a couple months to con vince Grippo, but soon A-Dog was adding his chest-thumping beats and machine-gun scratching to the group’s sound. Eventually Thompson, Williams and fellow MC Konflik split from Grippo’s group, concentrating on their own tight, performance-based hip-hop trio. Eye Oh You began as three friends jamming on tunes in Thompson’s apartment; within a year they were holding down a Thursday-night residen cy at Church Street bar Red Square and winning opening slots for the likes of hip-hop legend Big Daddy Kane.

The soundtrack flows on to steamy recent underground hits and old-school classics. A crowd near the stage has begun dancing, twirling and grinding. Two bottle-blondes glance across the room at a third, snidely hypothesizing whether she’s “had her nose done.” This is the new Burlington, cell phones and expensive haircuts all around. No Birkenstocks in sight. Oblivious to it all, A-Dog spins with casual, effortless grace. As the evening winds down, he remains on stage, chatting with well-wishers, demonstrating his techniques and pushing forth a smooth mix of funk-filled grooves. People begin to meander toward the door and he surveys the crowd, smiling, smoking, clearly content with a good night’s work. Outside, the night has turned colder. A cluster of stars is visible through the shifting clouds. ®

re v ie w th is DANA ROBINSON,

AVENUE OF THE SAINTS (Self-released, CD) Pacific Northwest native and ex-Vermonter Dana Robinson continues his development as a folksinger with the release of his fourth CD, Avenue of the Saints. What makes Robinson a "folksinger" and not a singersongwriter? The stories his songs tell (not about him) and the places they take you (far from his own navel). Many of the fine songs on this album feel like a road trip, echoing a sense of towns and places the author has visited on tour. On the album's liner notes, the nine original (out of 11) songs are "notated" with when and where they were written. The musical story telling, the old-timey banjo accompaniment and an extended talking-blues number about commercially grown hemp all bring to mind Woody Guthrie at his best. As does a classic on the album entitled "What Would Woody Do?" Lui Collins, another fine ex-Vermont musician, helps out with beautiful harmony vocals on Avenue. And I hardly even noticed this time how much Robinson sounds like Cat Stevens. Robinson performs at a house concert in Jericho this Friday.

ROBERT RESNIK

JAZZMOSIS, JAZZMOSIS (Self-released, CD) Hailing from the Burlington area, Jazzmosis is a sextet of mostly working professionals and music educators. This release features a package of classics from the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver and others, tunes for which the three-horn front line is ideally suited. The group does a yeoman's job work ing through these charts, but they really shine on the two originals, "Coconut Grove" by Steve Bredice and "Jon's Swing" by Jon Swayne (arranged by Aron Garceau). Other strong moments are on Frank Zappa's "Blessed Relief" and the jazz-rock fusion piece "Tune 88" by Jeff Lorber. Jazzmosis features Jack Phipps on trumpet, Bredice on saxophones, Marty McRae on trombone, Garceau on guitar, Andy Smith on electric bass and Dov Schiller at the drums.

TIRED OF TRYING, TIRED OF TRYING (Self-released, CD)

Burlington punk/hardcore vets Tired of Trying go straight for the jugular on their new epony mous debut. Packed with brutal shreds of guitar and anti-establishment lyrics, these dudes play hard-and-fast, take-no-prisoners rock. While the fury of punk often translates poorly on disc, TOT succeed in replicating the power of a live gig. Throat-shredding vocals, powerhouse drumming and buzzsaw guitars scream from the mix. These are tunes to get you pumping your fist, chugging your beer and flipping off authority figures. Yet, remarkably, the band also retains a pop sensibility that allows the songs to be memo rable and bone-crushing. While they may balk at any association with "pop," TOT's songs are immensely singable anthems of teenage angst. With 10 tracks clocking in at under half an hour, Tired of Trying charges out of the starting gate and doesn't look back. Opener "Wasted" boasts a ringing dual-guitar attack and a razorsharp hook. It's the album's best moment and a great introduction to a powerful disc. Eric, Dave, Mike and Ian — no last names for these kids — then tear into the equally propulsive blast of "Shelter." "When the Dust Falls" is another highlight, with more shouted vocals and stuttering guitar crunch. Curses fly, bass lines growl and the band rages on. "Never thought you'd live this long, the shit you fucking did," the group wails on "No Time." "Bastards" is'a four-minute rave against, urn, bastards. Singing, "Everyday since I was born, they've all had it out for me... and all these fucking bastards are getting to me," the band sounds both hurt and fueled with a primal rage. Aside from the 25-second spoken-word "Rant," TOT takes no breathers, pummeling through the tunes with a manic energy rarely found on modern punk records. Tired of Trying may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for a band pumped to the gills with apocalyptic mayhem and malt liquor, search no further. Tired of Trying celebrate their release this Sunday at Ruben James.

[E X H IB IT "Unique Multiples," moprints by light artists. T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier. Through April 27. ARTWORK "Chaos," by Martha Manning

onoprints can be free, loose and painterly in style, but “Unique Multiples” could never be mistaken for an exhibition o f paintings. The 59 monoprints by eight artists, currently showing at the T.W. Wood Gallery at Vermont College in Montpelier, are all under glass. No smudges, blobs or fingerprints, which usually accompa ny drawing and painting, are evident. The works are too tidy and nicely packaged to be anything but the handiwork of printmakers — their medium generally demands fastidi ousness. “Celestial Chaos,” by Martha Manning, contains a group of overlap ping circles resembling bubbles float ing in a mottled, Prussian-blue uni verse. The circles are various sizes and, despite the title of the piece, are rather well-organized. Some are delineated in negative space, others enclosed by lines, still others filled in with color. All the circles fit neatly into the pic ture plane, except for two at the top edge and one along the bottom. W ithout them the piece would be

Judith Bowerman’s prints are also based on geometric forms, but her works explore the rhythms of pattern ing. Her hues are weak in intensity, as with faded cloth, and her works often use just one or two colors. “Ghost” consists of quadrants, each with a dif ferent pattern of brown or indigo. Bowerman’s geometric language has an organic quality reminiscent of Yoruban adire designs and other folk idioms. Some pieces in Bowermans reper toire include representations of rope knots as well as geometric patterns. “Spanish Bowline I” has three sec tions, with two knots flanking a cen tral matrix of patterning. Interestingly,

The w o rks are too tid y an d n ic e ly p a cka g e d to be a n y th in g b u t th e h a n d iw o rk o f p rin tm a k e rs. completely static, but Manning wisely gave those circles more breathing space. Her slightly more chaotic “Connections” is a horizontal piece with white, red and yellow circular lines suspended in a gray field. Here forms seem to collide rather than over lap. Many are incomplete, and the cir cles are allowed to drift off the edges o f the paper more than in “Celestial Chaos.”

the artist didn’t just ink up a piece of twisted rope and run it through a press to produce these prints. Though the same scale as actual rope knots, they’re more likely made by a photo transfer process. In contrast, Polly Cassell probably inked articles of clothing and ran them through an etching press. This approach gives her work a bit of a Jim Dine flavor, although the well-known Pop artists bathrobes and other

clothes were drawn rather than perma nently pressed. Cassell’s clothing prints represent a more efficient approach. “One Piece Suit,” a graceful vertical composition, is a sheer, black leotard that’s been slightly twisted. For “Bloomers,” Cassell used impressions of several textile items, including, well, a pair of bloomers. The materials are organized to form a flattened figure with the proportions of a baby. Its a patchwork of nicely textured colors. The bloomers and sleeves are reddishbrown, the shirt yellow, and the blueblack pant legs make the bloomers look like a diaper. Though the figure has no head or feet, it does have infant-sized hands. Sandy Hartley’s pastures and land scapes look more like lithographs than monoprints. “Horse Pasture, France” is a strong black-on-white drawing of a pasture that could be anywhere. Though less placid than Hartleys work, Anita H unt’s “Secret Garden II” is also an illustrative black-on-white piece. It has strong circular movement, and H unt’s technique gives her mono prints the grainy gray gradations of aquatints. There is no obvious chine colie, or collage, in the show. Likewise, there seems to be little mixing o f mediums. In other words, these are not terribly experimental monoprints — the works selected for this exhibition have left little to chance. But what they lack in exploration they make up for in neatness. ® ^ .

<filmclips> PREVIEWS AGENT CODY BANKS "Malcolm in the Middle'"s Frankie Muniz does the spykid thing in his big-screen action debut (PG) THE HUNTED Is there a more hot-andcold director than William Friedkin? For every Exorcist or French Connec tio n , the guy's fumbled with a Ja d e or Deal o f the Century. Something tells me this saga of a warfare instructor coming out of retirement to battle a former student who's become a rene gade assassin is unlikely to join the list of the filmmaker's classics. Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro star.

(R) WILLARD Crispin Glover stars in Glen Morgan's remake of the 1971 thriller about a social misfit who finds he feels truly comfortable only in the company of rodents. With R. Lee Ermey and Laura Harring. (PG-13)

ar can be hell. This is a well-known fact. On occasion, however, it also cat be dull. Abysmally rote, monotonous, pointless, surprise-free and altogether un-Saving Private Ryan-like. For an example of this, see Tears o f the Sun. Certainly, there isn’t any other reason to do so. W hat a difference a year can make. Antoine {Training Day) Fuqua helped Denzel Washington win a Best Actor Oscar last March. With his latest, on the other hand, the director is unlikef to help anyone do much of anything except catch up on needed sleep. If a cornier, more self-indulgent and tire some saga of military conflict has beet committed to celluloid, I’ve been lucky enough to miss it. Bruce Willis delivers a lazy, impas sive performance in the role of a generic Navy SEAL squad leader. Tom Skerritt is his superior officer. They’re based on a carrier off the African coast. When a generic ruthless tyrant deposes and slaughters the Nigerian royal family and embarks on a cam paign o f ethnic cleansing, Skerritt sends Willis and company into the jungle to get an American doctor and a handful o f missionaries out of harm’: way. Monica Bellucci plays the improba bly babeliscious physician. When Bruce and the boys barge into her

operating hut and announce that she has just minutes to pack, she announces that she’s not going any where unless everyone else in the vil lage can come, too. Being a hardbit ten, no-nonsense, take-charge type (with only one helicopter), Willis makes a tactical decision to placate the woman. Everyone and his uncle are marched to a clearing where that sin gle helicopter waits and suddenly Bellucci realizes she’s been played. Willis tosses her into the chopper and takes off, leaving the nonplused, blub bering assemblage behind. So far so credible. A few tears and accusing glances from the rescued woman later, though, the hardbitten vet undergoes a total personality transformation and decides to turn the aircraft around. He’s never so much as questioned an order in his entire career, and suddenly the guys risking court martial — not to men tion the lives of his men — as the result of being guilt-tripped by a sultry humanitarian. It’s the sort of scenario that could be drawn up only in a Hollywood war room, and it’s the instant undoing o f Fuqua’s Film. I have my orders, too, and so can’t reveal more when it comes to details o f the story from that point on. Suffice it to say the balance of the extravaganza is devoted to Willis’

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSER-**

noble effort to lead the ragtag throng through the jungle to a friendly border while being pursued by the evil tyrant’s troops, who are on their trail for reasons we don’t learn until late in the film, and which do not exactly enhance the script’s credibility. Aside from a few routine battle scenes, the movie’s action consists mostly of people slogging slowly through non-stop rain. This is not interesting, much less exciting. The dialogue is hokey hero blather. Apparently, the Film’s producers neg lected to budget for character develop ment. I can’t remember caring less about a cast. The score by Hans Zimmer is an overwrought offense designed to imply high drama where none exists. The movie’s title makes no sense. Do not be fooled by television ,ads comparing this picture to Black Hawk Down or We Were Soldiers. It isn’t in their league. As bad as almost every element of this picture s, the worst is probably its timing. W hat the world needs now is not another mindless celebration o f military macho ablaze with laser-guid ed cliches. For someone like Joel Silver to release a film like this might come as no great surprise. T hat a filmmaker as promising as Fuqua squandered time and talent on Tears o f the Sun is a crying shame.

Fusco’s Lamoille County farm, where he penned his oeuvre over a period of four years. Spirit, which opened last Memorial Day weekend, is about a wild bronco in the late 1800s. After being captured by the U.S. Calvary, he escapes with the help of a Lakota brave articulated by Cherokee actor Daniel Studi. Although the stallion himself does not talk, narra tor Matt Damon offers insight into the equine thought process. For additional emotional emphasis, Bryan Adams sings his own horse-sensitive tunes on the soundtrack. The movie earned $80 million at the box office, according to Fusco, “and the DVD sales were through the roof.’’ When approached by Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, two of three part ners who own the Hollywood studio, Fusco was initially reluctant to work on . the animated picture. “I had zero interest in that medium,” he explains. But when he learned it was supposed to be an animated Western “from the point of view of the horse,” Fusco changed his mind. He simply asked: “When do we get started?” Given free rein, so to speak, his incli nation was to deliver a story that was both historically accurate and respectful of Native American traditions. “I drew from the voices of indigenous peoples to create the narration, making it a kind of sparse haiku while trying not to anthro pomorphize,” Fusco says. No wisecrack ing cinematic animals for him. Hundreds of animators labored on the project, which was predominantly hand-

drawn and hand-painted — unheard of in an age dominated by computer-gener ated imagery. These old-fashioned ana logues match the look that had taken shape in Fusco’s imagination. “I didn’t want a singing-horse cartoon,” he says. His own visual inspiration came from artists like Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Since the success of Spirit, Fusco has been inundated with animation offers, but he’s already at work on other proj ects. The long-delayed Rebels, his horn age to Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, is likely to start shooting in Vermont and Canada this fall or in early spring 2004. Before that, there’s supposed to b'e a summer start on the remake of Billy Jack, “my radical, updated approach to the [1971] indie cult film” about a mystical Vietnam vet eran who defends the people and horses on an Arizona reservation. Fusco’s Dreamkeeper, a mini-series that also has an Indian theme, airs on ABC May 11 and 12. Somehow the guy finds time to turn out books, too; he’s currently writing his second novel, which will tap into the ambiance of blues music in New Orleans. The Big Easy is familiar territory: As a displaced Connecticut Yankee, he was once the lead singer and songwriter for a 1970s Southern rock band called the Dixie Road Ducks. That legacy may be the reason Fusco’s “sparse haiku” unleashed his more intensi poetic yearnings. “I got a little carried away and also wrote songs for the screen play” of Spirit, he says. Though this unbridled effort was not accepted by DreamWorks, it did help “inform the soundtrack.” News of the Oscar nod came by tele phone a few weeks ago while Fusco was on the Mojave Desert set of Hidalgo, his big-budget Disney film about a late19th-century American cowboy that opens in October. He took the call while sitting with one of the stars, Lord of tht Rings hunk Viggo Mortensen. “It was my agents, congratulating me,” the scrib remembers.'“Viggo’s movie had just got ten, like, six nominations, so I didn’t do much bragging.” Katzenberg persuaded Fusco to atten< the big awards shindig. If Spirit wins in the long-animation category, the movie mogul might insist the wordsmith accompany him on stage — an appear ance typically reserved just for producers “Truthfully,” the countrified caballero demurs, “I just want to stay home and watch it at the Morrisville VFW.” ®

BODY LANGUAGE

The dancers of Montreal-based Compagnie Marie Chouinard like to let their limbs do the talking. Founded more than a decade ago, the 10-person troupe is known for its provocative choreography, erotic arrangements and minimal足 ist costumes. "Jubilant yet solemn" opener "24 Preludes by Chopin" is a composite dance dri足 ven by the famous composer's freeform Opus 28, with various configurations resembling every足 thing from insects to birds and horses. "Le Cri du Monde," a dream-like affair that reflects Chouinard's fascination with bodi足 ly "architecture," has been called "a masterpiece" that "appeals to the intelligence of the body, not the mind."

COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD. Friday, March 14. Flynn Center, Burlington, 8 p.m. $24.50-28. Info, 863-5966.

The Ground Hog Opry sh it-k ick ed

off its four-venue 2003 tour with a heap of hayseed comedy and freakin' fine tunes. The "mostly annual" event, written by farmer/actor/musician George Woodard and legislative counsel Al Boright, presents rural rev elry in the format of a 1930s-style live radio show in Woodchuck, Vermont. That's station WSMM, a.k.a. "Well Shut My Mouth," a phrase shouted by fondly indulgent audience veterans whenever the call letters were mentioned onstage. Mostly the humor was broad and brazen. You did n't have to be a farmer to get the ag references — the funniest of which occurred during Woodard and Boright's skit, "Talk Tractor Talk." The sexual innuendoes were just sly enough to go over the heads of the children present, but concepts such as a combination belt sander and vibrator, found in "the adult-oriented aisle" of Hardy's Hardware, earned guffaws from us cabin-fevered Vermonters. The political pokes were surprisingly tame this year — the obligatory duct-tape joke didn't quite stick. Best of all was the countrified music, performed in a variety of silly outfits and with sillier band names — Pot Hole & the Highwaymen, Aunt Enema & the Fiber Four, etc. Dobro player Jim Pitman and mandolinist/ guitarist John Drury were particularly amazing, but guitarist/vocalist Marilyn Skoglund had the best DollyParton-meets-Marge-Simpson hair. All of which proves you shouldn't judge a bumpkin by the cover. —

PLUCK OF THE IRISH Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan was ju s t a teenager when sm allpox claimed his eye sight. That was more than three centuries ago, when war-torn Ireland was coming apart at the seams as Irish Catholics resisted hostile takeover by English Protestants. S till, Celtic legend O'Carolan decided to stay on the sunny side, uniting the adver saries with tim eless melodies th at are still in heavy rotation among today's artists. In Vermont Stage Company's production of O'Carolan's Farewell to Music, the celebrated composer's harp becomes a guitar played by Charlotte musician Stephen Kiernan. The minstrel's tale is told by traveling companion Charles MacCabe, played by Ethan Bowen. "H is story speaks to the artist in us all," offers Bowen. "O'Carolan challenges us to 'make brilliant art that shines through the gloom '" Art Edelstein, an East Calais guitarist and O'Carolan authority, sheds further lig h t on the Irish lum inary with a m ulti-m edia presentation prior to both Thursday performances.

The picaresque page-turner tracks the two teenage Marines as they go AWOL to dive for pearls and end up instead rescuing a naked, suicidal, 16-year-old Kuwaiti princess. "The sheer assault of episode, action, humor, horror and epic scenery that follows is enough for a shelf-load of lesser novels," Kirkus declares.

FEVER PITCH

The storied histories of baseball and America are as intertwined as the webbed pocket of a leather mitt, and the Green Mountain's boys of summer have some scintillating tales of their own to tell. Resident expert and Middlebury College prof Karl Lindholm conjures up characters from Addison County's past and brings to life historic posters culled from the current Henry Sheldon Museum exhibit, "Leisure Life in 19th-Century Vermont." The Negro Leagues specialist also dis cusses the life of black star William Clarence Matthews. As a member of Ver mont's "outlaw" Northern League, he challenged the national pastime's color line 40 years before Jackie Robinson.

March will be a month to celebrate. In a time of war and rampant

nationalism, the festival uses film to broaden our understanding of different world cultures and to shed some light on our own. This year well be featuring films from-such areas as Istanbul (JOURNEY TO THE SUN), the Iran-Iraq border (BLACKBOARDS) and the West African coast (WAITING FOR HAPPINESS). There will be a fascinating array of documentaries on social issues (RUTHIE AND CONNIE, STRANGE FRUIT, BLUE VINYL and others), and the arts (ETOILES and LAST DANCE). Youll have a chance to see John O'Brien's long-awaited new film, NOSEY PARKER, plus restored versions of Kurosawa's THE SEVEN SAMURAI and Harold Lloyd's silent comedy SAFETY LAST (with live musical accompaniment by Putney's Peter Tavalin). The Nation's lively film critic Stuart Klawans will also be on hand for a discussion.

How much did the Catholic Church know about the Holocaust? In 1964, Rolf Hochhuth created a firestorm of controver足 sy when he addressed this issue in his play "The Deputy." Director Constantin CostaGavras (director of such political thrillers as Z and MISSING) has now adapted the play, based on the true story of Kurt ' Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur), an SS lieutenant and civilian chemist, who discovers that the Zyklon B pellets he has developed to disinfect soldiers' drinking water are being used instead to gas Jews by the thousands. He secretly approaches the Swedish Consulate, the German Protestant commu足 nity and finally Vatican representatives in the -hopes of exposing Nazi policies. The only one who listens is Father Riccardo (Matthieu Kassovitz), a young Jesuit priest with deep family connections to the Vatican; Riccardo promises Gerstein he will alert the Pope in hopes that the pontiff will denounce the Final Solution. indieWire: "A solid, engrossing drama whose central theme, the reluctance of the Vatican to speak out about Nazi atrocities during World War I I, is brilliantly explored in all its aching complexity. There is no bitter condemnation of the Pope here, as some Catholics might fear, but rather a sensitive probing of the multiple agendas at work. The Greek-born, Paris-based Costa-Gavras has always been one of the world's finest political filmmakers, and it is very good indeed to see him back in form." Co-sponsored by Beth Jacob Synagogue. 132 minutes, English language.

22-year-old Samira Makhmalbaf's film, which won the 2000 Special Jury Prize at Cannes, tracks a day in the lives of Said and Reeboir, a pair of itinerant literacy teachers who wander the red-dirtmountains of the Iran-Iraq border, blackboards on their backs, in an often fruitless search for pupils. The New York Times: "The stark, relentless images of exhausted travelers dragging themselves on foot through a treacherous mountain landscape evoke an indelible and moving vision of humanity buffeted by the elements and by interna足 tional political tides. . . . It offers as bare and stripped-down a picture of life at the subsistence level as Iranian cinema has ever presented." Stuart Klawans wrote in The Nation, "Her film has taken us into someplace elemental, desperate, absurd and stunningly beautiful; a place where the people on camera seem to lead timeless lives, without electricity or running water, and yet must contend with off-camera forces equipped with landmines and heli足 copters. You might think it wrong for art to intrude here. . . but that judgment would cut off the Kurds from culture and from other lives, and Makhmalbaf chooses to face these people." Co-sponsored by the Peace and Justice Center. 85 minutes, in Kurdish with subtitles.

With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl sid ing firmly in hand, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and her co-direc tor Daniel Gold travel from Helfand's Long Island hometown to America's vinyl manu facturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chlo ride (PVC). Her parents' decision to re-side their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with many twists and turns. The result is a humorous but sober ing and uniquely personal exploration of the relationship between consumers and industry. Although the film reveals a com plex web of alleged corporate conspiracies and the tragic loss of human life from chemical exposure, BLUE VINYL also poses a refreshingly simple question: "Is it possi ble to make products that never hurt any one at any point of their life cycle?" 96 minutes. Preceded by animated short SPOON, by Meredith Holch. Co-sponsored by VPIRG. Post-film event: Judith Helfand will discuss the film on Friday, March 21. On Saturday, March 22 at 2:00 PM, she will also lead a discussion on "Film and Environmental Activism" in City Hall's Memorial Room (free).

Just 18 days before Jim i Hendrix died, he and his trio (bassist Billy Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell) gave one of their legendary performances at the Isle of Wight Festival. This appearance has previously been seen only in piecemeal form— heavily edited, with the numbers rearranged and often truncated. Documentarian Murray Lerner went back to his original footage, re-mas tered the sound and finally assembled a complete record of the show, a film experi ence that has the momentum and excite ment of a real concert.

Elaborate costumes, camp burlesque, LSD and wild theatricality were the ingredients in the popularity of the free-form tribe known as The Cockettes, whose heyday was the late 60's and early 70's in San Francisco. They decked themselves out in gender-bending drag and glitter for a series of now-legendary midnight shows at North Beach's Palace Theater. With titles like "Tinsel Tarts in a Hot Coma" and "Pearls Over Shanghai," these all-singing, all-danc ing extravaganzas featured elaborate cos tumes, rebellious sexuality and exuberant chaos. Directors Bill Weber and David Weissman assembled archival footage of their outrageous performances, and inter viewed the surviving members, who look back on their antics with humor and insight. The film (winner of the Los Angeles Film Critics' Best Documentary award this year) illuminates the idealistic, anarchic spirit of the times, its sexual poli tics, and the tensions between experimen tation and the demands of showbiz suc cess. The New York Times: "Endlessly recy cled and diluted images of the countercul ture have obscured some of the most inter esting and vital parts of the culture itself, which the filmmakers have brought tri umphantly to life." Co-sponsored by Mountain Pride Media, R.U.1.2? Community Center, Outright Vermont and Faeries Camp Destiny, Inc. 100 minutes.

The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the world's great companies, and its school is one of the most rigorous. Youngsters are molded into dancers, and dancers into "etoiles"— stars. Of the hundreds of hopefuls who apply to the school annually, 30 are accepted; a third of them make it through the first year, and only a handful graduate to dance with the company. "The system is a machine that crushes the weak," says one former ballerina. Combining perform ance and rehearsal footage with revealing commentary from choreographers, company directors, students and dancers, director Nils Tavernier elicits starkly contrasting accounts of life in the ballet. His subjects speak candidly and thoughtfully about bal ancing career and relationships; loneliness, camaraderie and competition; and what they've given up and what they get in return. Viltage Voice: "Among the many pleasures are the lively intelligence of the artists and their perceptiveness about their own situations: 'Dance is something that devours you, stronger than love,' says one." Preceded by three short animated films by Vermont students. Co-sponsored by Contemporary Dance Studio. Post-film event: Maris Wolff, Professor of Dance at Johnson State College, will lead a discus sion after the Sunday, March 24 showing. 100 minutes, in French with subtitles.

30-year-old Sandrine (Mathilde Seigner) quits her computer job and buys a remote mountain farm in southeast France from Adrien, an elderly widower (Michel Serrault) who has lost his livelihood to mad-cow dis ease and who remains on as a tenant. At first, he scoffs at her innovations on the farm, which include promoting ecological holidays on the Internet and welcoming

coach-loads of schoolchildren. But soon skepticism turns to grudging admiration for her pragmatism and resilience. Director Christian Carion, himself a son of farmers, gives us an unsentimental look at the harsh realities of farming while presenting a poignant character study. The skillfully underplayed performances by veteran Serrault and rising newcomer Seigner make " their characters' evolving relationship believ able and touching.

Every Halloween since 1992, the Trinity Assembly of God Pentacostal Church in subur ban Dallas, Texas has staged "Hell House." Superficially, it's like the standard Haunted House found in many American towns in late October. However, this one has a goal: saving souls. Through 13 chambers, depicting abor tion, the occult, infidelity, drug use, AIDS, suicide and drunk driving, the organizers hope to scare patrons back into the fold. Says film maker George Ratliff, a native of nearby Amarillo, "I was curious about the theology that allowed this behavior.. . . I don't think this culture has ever been accurately por trayed in a film. They're really easy to poke fun at, because these guys are so over the top." The outcome of the director's curiosity is a portrait of the 2000 extravaganza, which drew more than 12,000 paying customers. Ratliffs remarkable and non-judgmental indepth documentary follows church members as they plan the event, write the script, hold auditions and rehearsals, and build sets. The

Toronto Film Festival: "A fascinating glimpse into a strangely foreign world that's familiar enough to be unsettling." 85 minutes.

In this involving and lyrical film, two young men from different regions from Turkey have come to Istanbul to find work. Mehmet is from the west of Turkey, while Berzan, a Kurd, is from an eastern region bordering Iraq. The two men meet during a street demonstration and form a friendship; Berzan, a member of the Kurdish rebel underground, is involved in political activi ty, but Mehmet just wants to enjoy life and be with Arzu, his girlfriend. But it is Mehmet, with his dark complexion, who is mistaken for a Kurd and arrested. This timely debut feature from Yesim Ustaoglu was hailed at the New Directors/New Films Festival as "haunting and incisive" by The New York Times. "The shadow of Graham Greene looms over the film as it tracks the moral education of an innocent... Ms.

Ustaoglu's accumulation of emotional detail quietly pays off." Cosponsored by the Peace and Justice Center and Vermont Refugee Assistance Center. I l l minutes, in Turkish and Kurdish with subtitles.

In this documentary tracing the evolution of • a theater piece, director Mirra Bank goes behind the scenes to record the often-stormy but ultimately rewarding collaboration between Pilobolus, the iconoclastic dance company, and legendary author/illustrator Maurice Sendak. Over months of improvisa tion in the studio, they transform Sendak's haunting Holocaust vision into a disturbing theater piece. It's a must not only for dancers, but for anyone who's ever been involved in a collaborative process. The New York Times: "One of the thrills of the movie is watching the improvisatory trial-and-error process as the dancers explore psychological themes, contorting their graceful, amazingly limber bodies into visual representations of relationships and emotional states. Although the dancers offer some remarks about their roles, it's not what they say but how they contort themselves that can ignite ideas that become incorporated into the larger con cept." Note: although Maurice Sendak is fea tured in the film, it is definitely not for chil dren. Cosponsored by Contemporary' Dance Studio. 85 minutes. Post-film event: Mirra Bank will discuss her film after the Saturday, March 22 show.

.ucia Small's complex and heartfelt docunentary, winner of last year's Grand Jury ’rize at the Slamdance Film Festival and ecently named as one of indieWire's list of he best unreleased films of the last year, vas described by Variety as "a touching nd frequently illuminating inquiry into the \fe of a man who claims to be brilliant, egardless of the fact that only a few sup)ort his claim. . . . The man is the direc t s father, futurist and architect Glen Small, who, despite a scattering of major vorks over 30 years, never acheived the imminence as his contemporaries Frank Gehry and Thom Mayne. . . . Director Small iraws attention to her father's work, but the film is also a gentle probing of a tenler emotional realm." The Boston Phoenix, n choosing it as one of the best films of :he year, called it "a real-life ROYAL TENEN5AUMS in which the filmmaker's father :omes off as insufferable but nonetheless farm ing and sympathetic, a visionary architect whose uncompromising idealism ixiled him to the margins." 84 minutes, ’ost-film event: Lucia Small will discuss her ilm at the Thursday, March 27 showing.

In the third installment of John O'Brien's. "Tunbridge Trilogy" (after VERMONT IS FOR LOVERS and MAN WITH A PLAN), Richard and Natalie Newman move to rural Vermont where they expect the unspoiled setting and the indigenous values to rejuvenate their marriage. The construction of their trophy house inevitably leads to a visit from town lister George Lyford, an older farmer who is suspicious of newcomers. The film is actually three stories, according to the director: the tale of an unlikely friendship, the documen tation of a Vermont that's changing from rural to exurban and an elegy to our elders. Says O'Brien, "In a time when irony is everyone's favorite emotion, this film is unabashedly sincere." 105 minutes. Post film event: John O'Brien will appear after the Friday, 6:30 show. OPENING NIGHT CELE BRATION: Julio's Restaurant catered recep tion at City Hall Arts Center 9:00 - 11:00. (Please note: NOSEY PARKER will begin a Savoy run on Monday, March 31.)

In September 1998, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet flew to London on a pleasure trip, resting for a few days and having tea with Margaret Thatcher. But suddenly he began experiencing back pain and underwent an operation. Waking from surgery, he was arrested by the London police for genocide and terrorism. This masterful film by Patricio Guzman (THE BATTLE OF CHILE and CHILE, OBSTINATE MEMORY) investigates the legal origins of the case in Spain and explores how a small group of people laid the groundwork for this incredible legal feat. Guzman's film movingly incorporates the stories of many Chileans who went to Madrid to testify, including relatives of the "disappeared" and survivors of torture. The New York . Times: "This eloquent, meticulously struc足 tured film has the feel of a choral sympho足 ny that swells to a bittersweet finale." Co足 sponsored by Cheney, Brock and Saudek; the Peace and Justice Center; ACLU of VT. 110 minutes. Post-film event: Reed Brody, Human Rights Watch Special Counsel for Prosecutions, will discuss the film at the Monday, March 24 show.

Danny Clinch and Sam Lee's documentary is an intriguing study of the contemporary "roots rock" icon Ben Harper, offering a rare glimpse into his travels, performances, songwriting and into his unusual and close-knit family. Harper, whose music is a vibrant fusion of rock, reggae, funk, blues and jazz, is a unique counterpoint to pre足 fabricated pop bands. He and his band, The Innocent Criminals, have achieved great popularity with little or no radio airplay, relying on word of mouth generated by their concerts. Despite the grueling, ^ -1 demands of the incessant touring that the film ably documents, Harper is genuinely enthralled by the life he leads on the road. Seattle Film Festival: "The film's crowning moment is not the dynamic concert footage in Paris, nor the backstage access or the beautiful photography, but rather a simple, quiet exchange between Harper and his mother as they play guitars and sing in her living room." Sponsored by Figrig Web Crafters. 92 minutes.

'9/11 was a historic event, but unfortutately not because the scale or the nature jf the atrocity but because of who the vicnms were." Noam Chomsky can be said to )e America's leading political dissident; his ;trong views on American foreign policy lave unquestionably marginalized him. lirector John Junkerman intercuts a series f talks that Chomsky gave in California and ew York with an extended interview at his IIT office. In these talks, Chomsky begins nth the fundamental principle that the xercise of violence against civilian populaions is terror, whether the perpetrator is a • well-organized band of Islamic extremists or the most powerful state in the world. He challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands of others. Variety: "The film offers a lively introduction to the highly articulate Chomsky and to his controversial views on ) / l l. . . . For those who know his work, :he film affords a glimpse of the tireless oatience, passion and openness of the man oehind the words." Co-sponsored by Vermont Compost Company and the Peace and Justice Center. 71 minutes.

Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov has said that he wanted to capture "the flow of time" in a pure cinematic language that suggests "a single breath." To that end, he realized a one-of-a-kind film consisting of one uninterrupted, continuous 96-minute single take that winds its way through The Hermitage of St. Petersburg. The New York Times: "RUSSIAN ARK is a magnificent conjuring act, an eerie historical mirage evoked in a single sweeping wave of the hand by Alexander Sokurov. . . . Sokurov's nameless protagonist, a 19th-century diplomat, takes us on a journey through the museum as a cast of 2000 actors and extras act out random, whimsical moments of Russian imperial history that dissolve into one another like chapters of a dream. . . . The movie culminates in what may well be the ne plus ultra of period cine matic pomp: a re-creation of the last great royal ball held at the Hermitage under Czar Nicholas in 1913." No rating, 96 minutes, in Russian with subtitles.

In the 1960's, Ruth Berman and Connie Kurtz were typical housewives, living in a cozy Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn. Meeting as married women with children, they became fast friends as well as leaders in their synagogue. After 15 years of friendship, they fell in love, left their fami lies and caused a sensation in the commu nity. Now, 25 years later, their love has outlasted many of their friends' marriages. Though time hasn't quite healed the wounds of their own families, they have persevered, establishing themselves as activists and advocates for the gay and les bian community. Director Deborah Dickson establishes an immediate intimacy with these two irrepressible women as they share their story of an exceptional love affair. Co-sponsored by Mountain Pride Media, R.U.1.2?

One of the great events of 2002 for film buffs was the reissue of Akira Kurosawa's influential masterpiece, with new prints and new subtitles. For years a 16th century Japanese farm village has been at the mercy of roving bandits. The distressed rice farmers have been beaten and robbed, have seen their town torn apart and their women kidnapped. Anticipating another raid, the desperate community tries to hire professional warriors for protection with nothing to offer but three meals a day. One by one the samurai (including one played by Toshiro Mifune) are recruited and begin to prepare for the inevitable moment when they must prove their courage. The climac tic battle in a driving rainstorm is justly regarded as a classic sequence in film his tory. Pauline Kael: "A raging, sensuous work of such overpowering immediacy that it leaves you exhilarated." Co-sponsored by Japan Society of Vermont. 207 minutes, in Japanese with subtitles.

Attention to Keaton and Chaplin has often caused the great comic genius Harold Lloyd to be overlooked; Orson Welles called him "the most underrated comedian of them all." We present an archival print of his classic 1923 comedy in which he leaves his small town to make good in the big city. Hired as a lowly department store clerk, he aims for big ger things, and in an effort to impress his visiting sweetheart, he conceives of a promo tional stunt for his employers: a friend will scale the store's eight-story building. But cir cumstances force a terrified Harold to do the climbing himself, climaxing in one of the most iconic (and hilarious) scenes in silent film, in which he dangles from the face of a clock high above street level. Our showings feature an original live piano accompaniment by Putney's Peter Tavalin. Co-sponsored by Community Connections, Cabot Creamery and Zutano. 72 minutes. Suitable for all ages (but not for acrophobes!).

In the astonishing new work from Japanese animation master Hayao Miyasaki (PRINCESS MONONOKE), Chihiro, a 10-yeargirl in the midst of a move to the suburbs with her parents, becomes trapped in a town normally invisible to humans. It's a place that various gods, from local deities to goblins and monsters, inhabit, and her parents, who have eaten the food of these gods without permission, are turned into pigs. Chihiro is hired by the witch Yu-baaba to work in this literal ghost town, preparing baths for a pantheon of spirits, both good and evil. With the help of new friends, Chihiro struggles to retain her identity. The New York Times: "It's a masterpiece, pure and simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; certainly the finest thing that Japanese anime has produced. No one else conjures the phantasmagoric and shifting morality of dreams in the way this master animator does." SPIRITED AWAY is a nomiÂ nee for this year's Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

"Southern trees bear a strange fruit: Blood on the leaves and blood at the root." The world's best-known anti-lynching song is often attributed to Billie Holiday, who made it famous, but it was actually written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish public school teacher in the Bronx. Joel Katz' compelling film traces the song from the turmoil of the 30's through the McCarthy Era (Meeropol was the adoptive father of the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg) and into the activist 60's, exploring along the way the alliance between left-wing Jews and African-Americans in the struggle for civil rights. Variety: "A little-known chapter in U.S. race relations is given a fascinating exploration. . . . The film excels in the depiction of a rich leftist movement, with several cultures interacting expressively in the 1930's and 40's." With Amiri Baraka,

Director Benoit Jacquot's version of the Puccini opera has been hailed as one of the finest translations of opera to be adapted to the screen. Puccini's tale of love, betray al and political intrigue is sung by top-rank performers: the Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu as Tosca; her husband, the French tenor Roberto Alagna as Tosca's artist lover Cavaradossi; and the Italian bass-baritone Ruggiero Raimondi as the evil Baron Scarpia, a sadistic police chief who offers Tosca her mate's freedom in exchange for sexual favors. They are accompanied by the Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House, conducted by the Covent Garden's musical director, Antonio Pappano. The Village Voice: "TOSCA manages to be expan sive and intimate at once. . . . The wonder ful singers lip-synch to their own voices, and the film cuts between the staged action and the recording session. . . . Two hours fly by, and even a novice to the form comes away exhilarated." 119 minutes, in Italian with subtitles.

Hilary Birmingham's debut film won several festival awards in 2000, but has been in legal limbo since then. Adapted from a prize-winning 1992 short story by Tom

McNealj TULLY is a film about love and injury, a drama about two young men and their father and the way the loss of the. wife and mother who left them long ago threatens to stunt their lives. The title character is a cocky teenager (Anson Mount, Jr.), who lives and works on a Nebraska farm with his close-lipped father (Bob Burrus) and his shy younger brother (Glenn Fitzgerald). The story of a crisis in the family and on the farm is told with unusual sensitivity, ambiguity and tough mindedness. Variety: "It's anchored by fine performances, delicate narrative develop ment and an overall tenderness. . . . With a charm similar to Hollywood's best leading men, Mount is stellar as a troubled soul, and his evolution into a conscientious adult is convincing. . . . The supporting cast, especially Julianne Nicholson as Tully's good-hearted lover and Glenn Fitzgerald as the sensitive brother, are outstanding." 102 minutes.

WAR PHOTOGRAPHER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26,6:30 PM, CITY HALL FRIDAY, MARCH 2 8 ,4:00 PM, CITY HALL

After 20 years of covering war, poverty and famine, famed photojournalist James Nachtwey still sees his work as an antidote to war and his photographs as a graphic "negotiation for peace." An Oscar nominee for 2001's Best Documentary, the film was directed by Swiss filmmaker Christian Frei, who followed Nachtwey to Kosovo, Palestine and Indonesia. The San Francisco Chronicle: "The subject of this extraordinary film not only belies the stereotypical image of the war correspondent— emotionally numb, fre quently drunk— but also stands so far apart from it that his idealism and monklike com mitment are inspiring. . . . Matching the closeness and intimacy of Nachtwey's work, Frei brings us into the process by mounting a tiny video camera on the journalist's still camera, allowing us to see Nachtwey's per spective as he approaches each crisis, selecting and framing shots. . . . Ultimately, the film is an act of spiritual faith— an elo-

One of the most talented African filmmakers to emerge in the past decade is Mauritania's Abderrahmane Sissako (LIFE ON EARTH), whose latest film is a stunningly shot, beautifully observed mosaic of life in a small seaside village on the West African coast. The central character is young Abdallah, a young man away for so long

from his homeland that he has forgotten how to speak the local dialect. Abdallah's preparations for emigration to Europe are shown in a series of encounters with several of the locals, each of whom provides a counterpoint to Abdallah's story. The Viltage Voice: "Sissako records the comings and goings in a sleepy port with a rueful appre ciation for human incongruity. . . . As wel come as a cool breeze on a summer after noon, this is a movie of understated, refreshing purity. . . . To see a Chinese man singing karaoke in a Mauritanian bar gives us about as powerful an image of globaliza tion as we're likely to find in cinema." Co sponsored by the Association of Africans Living in Vermont. 95 minutes, in French and Arabic with subtitles.

30B I march 12-19, 2003 I SEVENDAYS

BY ROB BREZSNY_____________________________________ ^

MARCH 13-19

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.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I got an email from a reader who calls himself Drek, Agent of the Future. His words are apropos to what you’ll be living through this week. “How come in the long list of human fears, ‘showing one’s true self’ is never included?’’ Drek mused. “Hell, com pared to the frighteningly wonderful madness of tapping into our naked souls, stuff like snakes and public speaking really doesn’t seem that ter rifying.” I trust you’ve already guessed what this has to do with you, Aries. It’s a perfect moment to overcome your fear of revealing your raw beauty to the world. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Want to stay sane and healthy in the coming weeks? Then get up-close and personal with the animal that rules your sign. It won’t be enough merely to gaze at images of bulls, though that would be good for starters. But if I’m reading the astro logical omens correctly, you need to be in the actual presence of a robust, full-grown bull. To commune with his primal energy will be strong medicine. It’ll awaken in you instinc tual powers that have gone to sleep, and will galvanize you for the myste rious challenges ahead. Feel like going in search of a pasture where your teacher is waiting?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before he died in 1992, avant-garde composer John Cage wrote the score for “As Slow As Possible,” a piece of music designed to be played contin uously for a long time. No one has ever actually tried it until recendy, when a group of musicians and philosophers in Germany began a performance they hope will last for 639 years. Make them your role models, Gemini, as you launch your

own long-term project in the coming weeks. It’s the ideal astrological time to commit yourself with strategic patience to a labor of love that could take you all your life to master.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I once knew a talented writer who had four planets in Cancer. With his fertile imagination, nurturing intelli gence and articulate artistry, he embodied the best of our tribe. With his narcissism, hypersensitivity to criticism and habit of bearing a grudge, he also had some of our sign’s well-known liabilities. It was always a risk hanging out with him; I never knew which facet would be ascendant. I haven’t seen the guy for years, but I hope his sweet genius has found a way to tame his evil twin. If not, the coming weeks will be an ideal astrological time for him and for all of us Cancerians to win the war within us. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When I ran for president back in 1992, one of my campaign promises was an affirmative action program that would make a majority of Americans celebrities by the year 2005. Though I wasn’t elected, I’m pleased to see that my idea may still come to pass. With the growing popularity of reali ty TV, from “Joe Millionaire” to “American Idol,” increasing numbers of average citizens are getting the chance to bask in the limelight. Your special moment could very well arrive in the next few weeks, Leo. There’ve rarely been more favorable astrological aspects for you to become famous or notorious. You will at least become more widely known, or be gossiped about outra geously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Darien is a 45-year old woman who had a near-death experience when she was 26. “My NDE was exactly like a rebirth,” she told me, “so I have wondered for many years whether I really have two charts, one for my original birth and one for my rebirth. And if so, which should take precedence?” I congratulated her on how lucky she is to have such a rich mystery to work with, and I urged her to treat both charts as equally true. I mention this, Virgo, because although you won’t have anything as dramatic as an NDE in the coming weeks, you will most likely experi ence what amounts to a resurrection. You might consider having another astrological chart drawn up for the official moment of your relaunch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: Why do you sometimes refer to God as ‘He’? You of all people know very well that God is both a “He” and “She.” Furthermore, “He” has hogged the God references for 2000 years. The only way to correct the distortion is to always refer to God as “She” for the next 2000 years. It’s payback time, don’t you agree? — Libra SuperWoman.” Dear SuperWoman: You’re absolutely right. From now on, God will be “She” in my column. But let me caution you not to take this as license to hate or demean the mascu line aspect, either in God or in your self. Especially now, as pathological expressions of macho run berserk in the world, we need to nurture beau tiful forms of virility. In the coming weeks, it will be particularly impor tant for Libras of all genders to rein vent and regenerate their inner male.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

21): Is it global warming? This win ter has been even milder than usual injhe San Francisco Bay Area, where I live. As a result, the roses in my backyard have been blooming non stop since last April, failing to take their usual sabbatical between October and February. I like it, but it’s also a little freaky and creepy — and definitely not a healthy approach for a human being to emu late. So don’t be like my unnatural roses, Scorpio. As relentlessly glori ous and fascinating as you’ve been lately, you need to take a break.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In a commercial for a new dream interpretation show on the SCI FI cable channel, a middleaged man is planted on a couch, gobbling an oversized sandwich and gazing blankly into a TV. His wife, clad only in black bra and panties, saunters into the living room astride a massive white stallion. The man looks up at her briefly, then returns to his vegetative trance. A voiceover suggests that this is a dream about the wife having needs that the hus band is not fulfilling. I predict that you will have a comparable dream in the coming week, Sagittarius. Both the man and the woman will sym bolize aspects of your own life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I’m not one of those astro logers who insists on stereotyping you Capricorns as compulsively cau tious, staid and obsessed with order. In fact, some of the most imagina tive and dynamic people I’ve known have been members of your sign. Still, the current astrological omens strongly suggest that it’s time for me to remind you to take yourself less personally, less seriously, and less lit

erally. Here’s a quote, courtesy of novelist Tom Robbins, that you should put on your bathroom mirror for the next 10 days: “Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsi ble, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious and imma ture.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will soon have the power to see what has been invisible and to decipher codes that have been impenetrable. You’ll shed a belief that has been crippling your intelli- \ gence, and you’ll lose a “friend” who has been undermining your under standing of yourself. And that’s not all, Aquarius. Just in time, you will shake yourself free of a curious numbness, allowing you to tune in to feelings that you desperately need to experience. And you will finally find the words to name truths that have been dangerously fuzzy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): One of the most enduring stories from ancient Greece has been the set of events, that legend says occurred at Troy, on the coast of Asia Minor. Yet this epic place, site of Homer’s The Iliad, was a village covering only l seven acres. Keep that factoid in mind in the coming week, Pisces. I believe it’ll serve as the perfect 1 metaphor for events that are current-1 ly unfolding in your own life. A humble patch of ground may become the scene of a mythic turning point. An experience that begins ^ small may be the seed for a story i ••• I that will achieve monumental importance for you in the years to come. ® - •

LOLA

the love c o u n s e lo r Dear Lola, I have a friend who is getting involved with a man who has a history of infidelity with his soon-to-be-ex-wife.. Should I talk to her? Maybe he won't cheat on her. Puzzled in Plattsburgh Dear Puzzled, What is this, an epidemic all of a sudden? Observant readers will note that yours is the second letter on this theme that I have received in the last couple of months. At the risk of repeating myself, how well do you know the gentleman in question? How close are you to your friend? How sure are you that your information is accurate about this soon-to-be-ex? How familiar are you with the terms of Romeo's marriage? If you and your friend aren't particularly close, and if the lowdown on the Lothario is questionable, don't mess where you don't belong. If, on the other hand, you and your friend are bosom buddies and your info is unimpeachable, you owe it to your pal to tell her what you know. Love, Lola
