GOOD GRASS If everyone who opposes medical marijuana [“Smoke and Mirrors?” April 21] were to attend a cancer patient, the bill would pass in an instant. My wife had breast cancer, a mastec tomy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the systematic poisoning of the whole body in hopes of killing any lingering cancerous cells. Doctors don’t equivocate: It will put the patient as near death as they dare risk. The poisoning is renewed week after week. It absolutely debilitat ed my wife. If I ever come to that point, I’ll take my chances w ithout it. To ameliorate the effects, her doctor prescribed marijuana pills. Thanks to his illegal but humane treatment, and still with a lot of will power, my wife was able to continue working, if just. Later, I wondered about thenGovernor Dean’s medical opin ion o f marijuana, knowing his political one. I asked someone close to him who subsequently reported that he didn’t oppose pills, but only the growing o f the plants, which has obvious poten- , tial for abuse. My opinion of marijuana is that we should just legalize it altogether, but that’s someone else’s battle; I don’t use the stuff. O n the narrow matter of medical use, though, I think

VERIFIED AUDITCIRCULATION

opponents and advocates alike, those safely removed from the terrible suffering of some medical patients, are playing politics at those patients’ expense. For G od’s sake, remove home cultiva tion from the bill. Legalize pre scription pills, at least, and give them some relief. Fred G. Hill BURLINGTON

POT POLITICS Strange but somewhat pre dictable goings-on in M ontpelier regarding medical marijuana for the last few years [“Smoke and M irrors,” April 21]. W hen Governor Dean opposed it, his friends in the Senate prevented a bill from getting out of com m it tee for a vote, but the Repub lican-controlled House passed a bill. Now Gov. Douglas has opposed it and his friends in the House will not get a bill out of committee for a vote, but the Democrat-held Senate has passed a bill. I would hope that in either case, the motivation for passing a bill went beyond just embarrass ing the opposing Party’s gover nor. Is it possible for either of these two parties to put principle above politics? Richard Lachapelle HUNTINGTON

OUTSOURCE BUSH If you like being poor, over

policed, uninsured and having dirty parks and beaches and fewer forests, then you should vote for Bush and Cheney. However, if you’d rather have a national health plan that is fair; decent education and housing for all American-born citizens; peace instead of war; and honesty in our government, you should get on the bandwagon and insist on impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney. They lied to the world about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction in order to invade it. The real reason they wanted Iraq was because it is oil-rich and they have always wanted it. Afghan istan did not have enough targets and also not enough resources to satisfy Bush and Cheney. O ur media should do a better job of educating the public about the corruption going on in Washing ton. Television in New York, which is where I am from, is very partial toward Bush ahdiCheney and cheerleads for them. New York is not the coolest and hippe^t state anymore, as there are too r, many businesses and Republicans! running the state and media. The only way for America to restore the integrity it has lost since these two clowns came in Is to impeach Bush and Q^eney,. and the sooner the better. Margo B irkenhead PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY

"FREE" PRESS? Thank you, Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,” April 14], for exposing the Free (oh?) Press' censorship o f columnist Barrie Dunsmore. It’s nothing less than outrageous that Publisher Jim Carey would bring the ax down on Dunsm ore for his commentary on religious fun damentalists. In banning Dunsmore, Carey has provided a clear demonstra tion that religious ultra-conserva tives can’t face up to truth and reality. He should know that burying one’s head in the sand

has never worked well as a long term strategy. Burlington and the State of Vermont clearly need and deserve a better daily newspaper. Ken W olvington BURLINGTON

RADIO RANT Craig Bailey [“Letters,” April 14] o f “Floydian Slip” fame on “C hum p” 101.3 (his show really pushes the boundaries of radio broadcasting) just doesn’t get this whole thing with the FCC and Howard Stern... W hat is your

definition of “C rap,” Craig, may not be my definition; people like Howard Stern make a lot o f us with a sense o f hum or laugh on our way to work. D o we have to have people tell us what is funny and not? Is listening to farting and hearing the words “Penis” and “Vagina” so bad? If so, turn him off and go listen to the drug addict Rush Limbaugh! The p o in t... is that the FCC is going after people like Howard, and yet people like O prah and that other cow Star Jones can get away with the same

bullshit on their T V shows which is seen by more kids than listen ers to Howard Stern. Doesn’t it seem a double standard to you that Howard is being fined and people like O prah and Ms. Jones are not? ...You obviously don’t care for Mr. Stern and that’s fine, but take a look at the bigger picture here: We’re going to give the Senate and the morons at the FCC the power to rule our air ways and tell us what we can lis ten to? Just because he makes a ton of money, you seem to think it’s O K for him to get hit with these huge fines (now you sound like a liberal)! Mr. Stern is not a martyr by any means; maybe he’s wor ried about losing his job?... I’m not ready to give up my rights to the religious far-right assholes just yet. Are you, Craig? Roy Skorstad ESSEX

"CLEAR"-ING THE AIR At the end o f his letter about how Howard Stern and others like him use FC C crackdowns to further their careers, Craig Bailey [“Letters,” April 14] forgot to m ention one thing: T he radio station he works for is owned by Clear Channel Radio, the very company that recently dropped i Stern from six markets due to “indecency.” W hat an interesting

omission. Clear Channel and the Republican/Religious Right believe that free speech is limited to what they w ant to hear. It is not. Yet, in a twisted effort to try to prevent or minimize the inevitable outrage that follows when someone or some group tries to lim it our rights, they con tinue to characterize anyone whom they disagree with as being indecent, unpatriotic or having agendas other than free speech. Jim Gallagher BURLINGTON

HISTORY LESSON I read Peter Freyne’s comments in the April 14 “Inside Track” with great interest and concern. I sin cerely hope Mr. Freyne is not implying that the fall o f Saigon was objectively “a liberation for the Vietnamese people” or a good thing in any way. O n the con trary, the final defeat o f South Vietnam to which Freyne refers was a tragedy for the people of Southeast Asia, which an American victory would have averted. C om m unism in Vietnam produced what it has generated everywhere: misery and the Gulag. In Southeast Asia, it culminated in the killing fields in Cambodia, and in hundreds of

War and... Peace?

obby Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, was beside himself Tuesday. “I’m freakin out,” said the former combat infantry officer in a Seven Days interview. “It’s Orwellian!” he exclaimed. Muller, an ex-Marine, was steaming over the recent attacks by the Bush team on the military record of fellow Vietnam vet Sen. John Kerry. W hat incensed Muller was the fact that GOP spin doctor Karl Rove and the Republicans had pulled this one not once, but twice before. They smeared the military record of John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary, noted Muller, and trashed the patriotism of triple-amputee Max Cleland in the 2002 Georgia senate race. Lt. Muller’s own life changed dramati cally in April 1969 when, while leading a combat assault in Vietnam, an enemy bullet severed his spinal cord. He hasn’t walked You could sense the exasperation in his voice as he exclaimed, “John Kerry killed people in Vietnam. He had buddies killed!” -' To have Kerry’s tfiilitary record twisted and slimed by those who “dodged the draft, went AWOL or got medals for DWI is pos itively Orwellian,” said the distinguished Vietnam Vets leader. This Friday, noted Muller, will mark the 29th anniversary of the end of our Vietnam War, the day Saigon fell to the communists. The day the troops finally came home. “The primary reason we lost Vietnam,” said Muller, “was because we didn’t bother to understand the culture, the religion, the history of the land we invaded.” “Fast-forward to today,” he said. “We have no understanding of Arab culture or the history of Islam.” Asked why there’s been little in the way of mass antiwar marches demanding a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, Muller thought for a moment before he replied, “Because there’s no credible leadership at the moment say ing we’ve got to get out.” Let’s hope some “credible leadership” shows up sooner rather than later, eh? Nice Work! -^Excellent public relations work recently by Vermont’s largest hospital and largest law firm. When it comes to bad news, timing is everything. In this case, the goal was tO draw as little attention as possible to the behind-closeddoors Renaissance Project settlement between Fletcher Allen Health Care and its former font of legal wisdom — Downs Rachlin Martin. W ith 41 attorneys listed on its website — www.drm.com — DRM is Vermont’s biggest legal stable. The “silk-stocking” firm with an uppercrust reputation represents a corporate clientele. In 2002, it billed the Mary Fanny $1.7 million for its top-notch legal counsel. ' The press release announcing the unprecedented megabucks Renaissance pay off from law firm to client went out on a Friday afternoon. The story got lost in the weekend news. However, it deserves more attention. Ah, yes, and what a Renaissance it’s been!

The secretive scheme of former FAHC

•CilriiA Seared Sea Scallop* •Green Curry DmcL Breast CEO Bill Boettcher and his merry band was to turn a $117 million hospital expan sion into a $368 million Taj Mahal, paid for by the health-care consumers of Vermont! The trick was getting it past state regulators. When the Renaissance Project is com pleted in the summer of 2005, the Mary Fanny will have a snazzy new front entrance, outpatient facilities and the largest underground parking garage between Boston and Montreal. But, amaz ingly, despite the enormous cost, not one new patient room will be built. Two years have passed since the scandal broke. A lot has changed. Boettcher’s long gone. He resigned under pressure, without admitting wrongdoing, and took a nice lit tle golden parachute along with him. Boettcher’s team has been replaced, too. And, so far, the hospital has paid a $1 mil lion fine. The Mary Fanny board of trustees, led by Chairman Philip Drumheller, has been replaced, too. No Vermont board of trustees in memory did a better job of knowing so little about so much. Meanwhile, the FAHC nurses success fully organized a union and now hope to organize other hospital workers. And state * and federal law enforcement agencies con tinue to investigate. “Under the terms of the agreement, DRM does not acknowledge any liability,” stated the Friday afternoon press release. “Both Fletcher Allen and DRM agreed that reaching an agreement was necessary to avoid incurring extensive litigation costs that would ultimately be passed on to con-

DRM does not acknowledge any liabili ty? If you’ll recall, the Renaissance Scandal erupted with news that Boettcher & Co. hatched a plot to conceal the hospital’s ownership of the planned $55 million underground parking garage. On advice of counsel, Boettcher approved a “synthetic lease” that would conceal the hospital’s ownership, and thus exempt the giant garage from the required Certificate of Need (CON) review by the state. , According to a footnote on page 20 of the November 2002 investigation conduct ed by a trustee-appointed committee, Boettcher certainly valued the legal advice he was getting by DRM ’s senior partner, Allen Martin. “Mr. Boettcher stated that he agreed with and followed the advice of Allen Martin, which was to provide BISHCA only with information to which they were legally entitled, i.e., not projects for which Fletcher Allen had concluded there was no C O N jurisdiction.” The footnote pointed out that FAHC vice-president Dave Demers, a preBoettcher hire, felt that the parking garage costs should be on the table. The report noted that “Boettcher described Demers as a dove on the issue and Martin as being a hawk, and [said] he sided with M artin.” A1 “The Hawk” Martin quietly retired from Downs Rachlin Martin last year and rode off into the New Hampshire sunset.

When Guns Are Outlawed New York City officials reported that Douglas Stiff, 69, tried to kill three law-enforce ment officers by dropping a 16-pound bowling ball on them from his 17 thfloor apartment. After the bowling ball barely missed the two police officers and a parole officer, who were responding to a 911 call from Stiff’s apartment of a robbery in progress, they saw a man on a 17th-floor terrace. When they went up and knocked on the door, Stiff answered it wearing a pair of binoculars around his neck. They found a second bowling ball on the terrace.

Florida, said that Shannon Kramer, 35, intended to fire a 6-inch rocket through the window of his girlfriend’s house from his car, as a prank, but he used a quick fuse and couldn’t get the rocket out of the car before the propel lant ignited. The missile shot to the ceiling of Kramer’s car, then ricocheted and dived between his legs, bursting into a display that burned and tem porarily blinded the man. “I thought I was dead,” Kramer said after being hos pitalized. “I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear. I went to stand up, and I couldn’t walk.” • Cambodian and U.S. troops attending a ceremony in Kampong Speu to destroy a stockpile of 233 obsolete anti-aircraft rockets were startled when one of the Soviet-era missiles inadvertently ignited. It lifted off and zoomed over their heads, landing a half-mile away. “I had to hit the deck,” Sour Thy, one of the soldiers, said. “It was coming straight for us.” • Also in Cambodia, the army is offer ing visitors the opportunity to fire pis tols, assault rifles, grenades, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers at farm animals. According to the New Zealand Herald, soldiers at an army base in the capital of Phnom Penh charge tourists $200 to use a rocket launcher and $200 for the cow. “O n the bright side,” the paper noted, “you got to keep your $200 for the cow if you missed.” ® q *•

Stars of Bethlehem r. AbdelFattah Abu-Srour wakes up each morning on the frontline o f the global war on terrorism, and fights it with little more than puppets, finger paints, dance and drama lessons. Abu-Srour is founder and director o f the Al-Rowwad Cultural and Theatre Training Center in the Aida Refugee Camp, an eight-acre parcel of bar ren land in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The camp is home to some 4000 Palestinians, 66 percent o f whom are under the age o f 18. W ith no parks, playgrounds,

It's easy to throw stones. It's easy to explode oneself. It's easy to kill someone. But it's not easy to continue an education. It's not easy for a child to come to our theater stay three hours for a rehearsal or to paint a mural. DR. A B D E LF A T T A H A B U -S R O U R ball fields or green spaces, the camp is fer tile breeding ground for the anger and despair that grips the Palestinian people. As Abu-Srour puts it, “The children have only the streets to express themselves, to break the windows of their neighbors with their footballs, or throw stones at the Israeli sol diers when they come into the camp.” Abu-Srour, a Palestinian biochemist who was educated in France, believes that if he doesn’t manage to capture the hearts and minds o f these children with art, the ater or dance, someone else will — by strapping explosives to their waists and sending them to a martyr’s death inside Israel. Last week, Abu-Srour visited Vermont as part o f his U.S/ tour to bring interim-tional attention to the plight of Palestinian children. His choice tdt stop here was not happenstance — since 1991, Burlington has had a tripartite sister-city relationship with the Israeli city o f Arad in the Negev Desert and the Palestinian city of Bethlehem — Aida Camp’s nearest neighbor. Abu-Srour’s hope is that Vermonters will get another view o f the Palestinian children, different from the rock-throwing youths usually portrayed on American television news, and will help him raise the funds to build a larger cultur al center. Two decades ago, the city o f Burlington recognized that its cultural and economic reach stretches well beyond state and even national borders. In 1984, while the U.S. government was funding the Contras in their war against the Nicaraguan people, . Burlington embraced the Nicaraguan city o f Puerto Cabezas as a sister city. In 1987, about the same time that Ronald Reagan was condemning the Soviet Union as “the evil empire,” Burlington forged a sister-city

relationship with Yaroslavl, in Russia. Then in 1991, after a heated debate in the City Council, Burlington aligned itself with Bethlehem, becoming the first American city to adopt a sister-city relationship with a Palestinian community. From the peaceful environs of Vermont, the global war'on terrorism often seems like a wildfire raging on the New York side of Lake Champlain. Surely, it can’t harm us from across the water, we reassure our selves, but neither are we obligated to help extinguish it. Neither assumption is true. Burlington provides about $2000 a year to the sister-city program. But what really drives the program are local activists who visit the sister cities and engage in cultural exchanges — like Burlington farmers Hilary M artin and S’ra Desantis, and the Peace and Justice Center’s Kimberly Ead. Each of them spent months in the occu pied territories earlier this year, meeting with Palestinians farmers and activists and promoting nonviolent, creative resistance work like that of Abu-Srour. Abu-Srour certainly has his work cut Tou(f for him. The Al-Rowwad Center is located in a tiny, two-room house that serves 600 to 700 children. Because of its close proximity to Israeli checkpoints, the center frequently draws gunfire or mortar attacks, and has occasionally served as an emergency clinic for sick and wounded Palestinians. Two years ago, during the siege of Bethlehem, the center gained inter national attention as the area’s only 24hour medical clinic. Then in May 2002, the building was stormed by Israeli sol diers, who destroyed computers and video cameras that were being used by children to make cartoon films. While Abu-Srour recognizes the desire of children and teens in the camp to react violently to the daily indignities of the Israeli occupation, he also reminds them constantly that violence will do nothing to help establish a future Palestinian state. “It’s easy to throw stones. It’s easy to explode oneself. It’s easy to kill someone,” Abu-Srour says. “But it’s not easy to con tinue an education. It’s not easy for a child to come to our theater and stay three hours for a rehearsal or to paint a mural.” Abu-Srour also makes it very clear to international benefactors that the center is not aligned with any governmental organi zation or political faction. His goal is sim ply to find a creative, nonviolent outlet for resisting the occupation. “It is important for these children who will be building the Palestine of tomorrow to have a wider horizon,” says Abu-Srour. “N ot to live only in the violence that is forced upon them, but to go out and meet with other children in the world and see th at... there are peo ple who are ready to listen to them in this nonviolent resistance.” Abu-Srour hopes to bring his troupe of young theatrical performers to Vermont in the summer of 2005. Assuming, that is, that the Israeli government grants them permission to leave.® Email Ken at ken@ sevendaysvt.com

ALL T H E N E W S THAT GIVES U S FITS

Dream On

ity poor President Bush, who as recently as April Fool’s Day imagined he had the leisure to shuffle off to Crawford and pre tend to be a Texan. As the descendant of Texans — indeed, East Texan farmers who migrated to Dallas looking for a lump of lard to keep them from starving — I’m allowed to say that. Capiscei “President Bush on Thursday opened his expansive central Texas ranch to sporting aficionados and conservation groups, including the National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever.” This according to a sappy and abruptly outdated press release from the lower colon of the White blouse, dressed-up as a “Reuters wire report” and published, unfor tunately for Bush, just hours before the “post-invasion” Iraqi shit hit the “coalition” fan in Fallujah. “During the private ,j»tour,” Reuters burbled on, “Bush spokes woman Claire Buchan said he wanted to dis cuss his clean air, wet lands and healthy forests initiatives in addition to showing ofF the energy conser vation features of his home and the native grasses that have been replanted.” But appar ently there were so many ducks, pheasants and rifles around he never got to it. Understand that neither Reuters nor any but a docile, “embedded” news service is allowed within 50 miles of the Crawford loony bin, and all this will make sense to you. Just close your eyes and dream. “While Bush proposed increasing the 2005 budget for forest fire programs and protecting endangered species,” says Reuters, “he has been criticized for trying to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling and cutting the Environmental Protection Agency’s budg by 7 percent for next year.” Bush’s recor ‘ on the environment is, in fact, the,Worst o f any president in history; even if we’re lucky f enough to see his backside in November, , iv it’ll take decades to undo the damage he’s done, if it’s possible at all. Still dreaming? Then dream about Junior pretending to be a statesman. If you’re a journalist taking part in this cha rade, torture yourself and your readers for another four years while destroying whole forests of trees in the effort to prove that you haven’t been duped; that Bush has “a vision” beyond his role as a corporate stooge; that he “makes his own decisions after careful prayer;” and that his “bornagain” bullshit is any different from the rest of his bullshit. It’s all bullshit, and it’s been bullshit from the moment Bush was first thrust on a nation so cynical about politics that it allowed a Republican vendetta against Bill and Hillary Clinton to waste $60 million of American money looking for semen stains on a Valley Girl’s dress. Monica Lewinsky will forgive me, I hope,

Bush's record on the environment is the worst of any president in history; even if we're lucky enough to see his backside in* November, it'll take decades to undo the damage he's done.

for lumping her together with a tired American cliche — she is, of course, from Beverly Hills. And my aunt in Shelburne, Claire Collier, undoubtedly understands why I quote her now, in the interest of dis tinctions: “I happen to regard Bill Clinton as the scum of the earth. But I regard George W. Bush as whatever lies beneath scum.” Compare I’affaire Lewinsky, if you dare, to Pfc. Keith Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio, kidnapped by Iraqi “insurgents” in a country — theirs — that he should never have seen in the first place; or to “four Iraqi children, shot dead” “by U.S. troops firing at random.” W ithout a craven press to endorse it, there would be no war in Iraq, no palaver about “weapons of mass destruc tion,” and no “President Bush,” either. There aren’t that many dime-store Christians, even in America, gleefully wait ing for Armageddon and a “Rapture” they imagine will sock it to their enemies, to account for this grotesque fantasy of national leadership. At the recent surreal, slo-mo press con ference in Washington, a reporter asked Bush why he can’t testify before a powerless committee, investigating the worst crime committed on these shores since the end of slavery and the slaughter of the native pop ulation, unless he brings along Rasputin — a.k.a. Dick Cheney. Bush answered, “Because the 9/11 commission wants to ask us questions, that’s why we’re meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.” “I was asking why you’re appearing together, rather than separately,” the reporter continued, “which was their request.” “Because it’s a good chance for both of us to answer questions that the 9/11 commis sion is looking forward to asking us. And I’m looking forward to answering them.” If he does, it’ll be a new act for sure: Q: “After 9/11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say, and what les sons have you learned from it?” A: “I wish you would have given me this written question ahead of time, so I could plan for it.” It doesn’t matter where it went from there -— it’s unthinkable that this conversation could haven taken place before the final debasement of the office of American President. And who debased it? Not John F. Kennedy, with his daily (or twice daily) bangs in the closet. N ot Jimmy Carter, cur rently the most admired international ambassador America has. Not Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican and a general, whose warnings about the unchecked power of “the military-industrial complex” are still unheeded. Not Lyndon Johnson, who took enemas in front of his staff, or even Richard Nixon, whose impeachable crimes are nothing — literally, nothing — next to the devastation the Bush machine is wreaking on the world. So keep dreaming, everybody, and when it all comes crashing down around your heads, don’t bother asking how it hap pened. Just climb in the Humvee, grab your golf clubs, your Wal-Mart cards and your Passion movies and run for your lives. You’ll need to. ® Email Peter at peterkurth@ peterkurth.com

that sometimes their heads hurt like hell). Turned out the nitroglycerin vapor in the factory air was acting as a vasodilator, increasing blood flow both to the heart (which needed it, at least in the case of the angina sufferers) and to the head (which didn’t); Nitroglycerin pills have been a standard treat ment for angina and heart attack symptoms since 1879 — doctors prescribed them for Nobel himself not long before his death in 1896 (he refused to take them — couldn’t brook the headaches). But more than a century passed before scientists under stood how they worked. In the 1970s, researchers established that the body converts nitroglycerin into nitric oxide, and in the ’80s they demonstrat ed that nitric oxide is a messenger molecule that tells the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels to relax. (A heart attack basically means that not enough blood is reaching your cardiac muscles.) In 1998 three scientists who’d been instrumental in unlocking the mystery of nitroglycerin were collec tively awarded — I’m telling you, this story has Dear Cecil, irony out the wazoo — the Nobel Prize in medicine. Recently a friend of thefamily had a heart attack. While he While I’ve got your attention, we need to discuss a relat was in the hospital, they gave him nitroglycerin pills to stop the ed matter. Maybe you’re thinking you know another use for attack and ease his chest pains! I consider myselfas having a nitroglycerin — in the “nitro-buming” funny cars at drag rational mind, but the ingestion o f explosives (no matter how races.

Sorry, but no — drag racers aren’t that crazy, way to promote cardiovascular health! In fact, it would seem though they’re still pretty crazy, as we shall see. The fuel in that nitro might have caused a few heart attacks (especially question is nitromethane. This nitro compound provides around the Fourth of July). How does nitroglycerin stop heart extra horsepower, although it contains less energy than gaso- j attacks? — Steve S. line on a per-pound basis. Unlike gasoline, nitromethane Salt Lake City has some oxygen built into its molecular structure, meaning . the engine doesn’t have to draw in as much air to support combustion — the ratio of air to fuel vapor in a conven People nowadays are such wimps. If you’re looking for tionally powered engine is 15:1, compared to 1.7:1 if you’re strong medicine, how can you do better than a high explo burning nitromethane.

ithin the online world of tetchy IT professionals, Linux freaks, and Mac users so devoted to their machines that they give up perfectly lovely Saturdays to meet in groups, Google is seen as fine, pure and good. The online search engine is so oftused that it spawned the verb “to Google” — as in, “He seemed cute, so I Googled him. Too bad about those arrests.” Many of us even use Google as our home page. If nothing else, it is certainly the lazy researchers best buddy. Google is lauded as being true to the idealistic roots of the Internet, placed in -opposition to the evil Microsoft Empire and the money-grubbing profile of Yahoo. O r rather, it was. Launching an April 1 media campaign that was initially viewed by many as an April Fools joke but is, in fact, perfectly serious, Google announced plans to offer free, web-based email. Big whoop, eh? Sure, except for the fact that Google plans to place ads within your email.

The new technology also sees email interactions as “conversations” and threads send-and-response emails on the same subject together, like bulletin board postings. So when you pull up the fasci nating “Drinks at 5?” email you sent at noon to Peter, Paul and Mary, everyone’s responses and your ihltiaf note come up together in one scan of text — as opposed to, say, seven separate emails. Good stuff, particularly if you’re immune to having hyperlinked ads appear dis’p e ^ y B n tHe right-hand margin. point of view.

“O ur firm has always set the highest standards of quality and professionalism for work done on behalf of its clients,” stated John H. Marshall, DRM ’s chief execu tive officer, in the press release. Whatever you say, Mr. Marshall. Whatever you say. Vermont’s attorney general, however, is saying something slightly different. “It’s not every day,” remarked Attorney General Bill Sorrell with a grin, “that a law firm pays its client $2 million.” Asked this week if the criminal investigation of the Mary Fanny’s Renaissance is continuing, Gen. Sorrell replied, “Very much so.” P.S. There have been some changes in the corps of hired-gun Statehouse business lobbyists over the course of the current legisla tive session, but none less notice able than the emergence of a new lobbying powerhouse. Most business lobbying firms put a team of two or three lobby ists in the building. But Downs Rachlin Martin is experiencing a Renaissance in its lobbying divi sion. Six, count ’em, six lobbyists from DRM are prowling the Statehouse this winter. The DRM Six Pack includes Joe Choquette, John Hollar, Jennifer Hollar, Dan Smith, Sherry Larsen and Kevin Leahy. DRM clients include: Vermont Gas Systems, Vermont Ski Areas Association, American Petroleum Institute and IBM. | Hey, law firms have to diversify if they want to survive in this eco nomic climate. As DRM boasts on its website, “We solve complex legal problems, whether in the courtroom, the business world or the State House.” And sometimes the solution requires a $2 million payoff. Cool. Dunsmore Update — The report two weeks ago about the dismissal of op-ed columnist Barrie Dunsmore by The Burlington Free Press has caused a wee bit of a stir. The retired ABC News diplo matic correspondent was abruptly dumped by order of Publisher Jim Carey, Gannett’s top dog in Vermont. The column that appears to have set off the publisher was Barrie’s last. It was sardonically critical of the anti-democratic religious fundamentalism prac ticed both at home and abroad that sparks so much senseless bloodshed and suffering. It was Mr. Dunsmore’s reference-to “fundamentalists at home” that apparently lit Publisher Carey’s fuse. Editorial Page Editor David Awbrey broke the news to Dunsmore, a Charlotte resident, in a disarmingly frank email pub lished in this space two weeks ago. Awbrey acknowledged Duns more’s brilliance, but recognized Jim Carey had the last word, and he works for Jim Carey. Brother Jim has not responded to our request for an interview. One Seven Days reader who called the Freeps to complain says Executive Editor Mike Town send told him yours truly “got it all wrong.” It was just the normal

rotation of op-ed columnists. But what about Awbrey’s email? Townsend told the caller Awbrey got it wrong, too. Sure he did. The story was picked up by a media website, and Barrie Dunsmore has a lot of friends. Some have written letters to the Freeps. None have been published to date. Among the best is one from a gentleman by the name of Ted Koppel. Yes, that Ted Koppel — host of “Nightline” on ABC and a living news legend. “Since only you can know with certainty why you canceled Barrie Dunsmore’s column, it is left to the rest of us to speculate. It can’t be due to his literacy or profes sional background. The former is eloquent, the latter beyond reproach. “What would be doubly lam entable is the possibility that the Burlington FREE Press dropped Barrie’s column because he sug gested that the excesses of funda mentalism are not limited to alien orthodoxies. “It’s a sensitive issue, yes; but if a journalist as decent, as smart, as experienced and as widely traveled as Barrie Dunsmore can not express himself on such a critical issue in your newspaper without retribution, we are all the poorer.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. In a Seven Days interview Tuesday, ABC’s Peter Jennings also lamented Dunsmore’s sacking in Burlington. “It’s a poor reflection on a newspaper,” said Jennings. The ABC Evening News anchor said he had written personal letters of complaint “to the editor and the head of Gannett.” P.S. Word is another Vermont daily has expressed interest in run ning a Barrie Dunsmore column. Stay tuned. Bad Seed? — Environmentalists were a little surprised to learn that they were not invited to the his toric signing of the landmark, first-in-the-nadon law requiring the labeling of genetically engi neered seed packaging. VPIRG’s Ben Davis told Seven Days he called the governor’s office Monday morning to learn if a signing ceremony had been sched uled. VPIRG was a major sup porter of the legislation. Davis said he was told nothing had been scheduled. Next thing you know, he hears Gov. Jim Douglas signed the bill into law later that morning. Press Secretary Jason Gibbs said his boss signed the landmark GE seed bill around 10:30 a.m. in his Fifth Floor office. Gibbs said that, as far as he knows, Gov. Douglas was alone at the time. Ah! A little private time for malting history. Gibbs explained Douglas would have held a public signing ceremony had the Senate also approved of two other farm-relat ed bills near and dear to his heart. “He wanted to sign all the measures at the same time,” said Gibbs. Sounds a bit spiteful, doesn’t it? After all, the labeling law leads the nation. Asked if he was ticked off

SEVENDAYS I april 28-may 05, 2004 I in sid e tra c k 17A about the secret signing, VPIRG’s Davis replied, “Let’s just say the administration is not bending over to reach out to the environmental community and the farming com munity.” Campaign 2004 — The passage of “permit reform” will no doubt be worn like a gold medal on Gov. Douglas’ chest throughout the coming campaign. Indeed, the conventional wisdom of the moment is that Gov. Scissorhands is looking pretty darn good head ing into the the race against Democratic challenger Peter Clavelle. Insiders who’ve been watching for a long time note that Douglas “hasn’t pissed anyone off.” Plus, he maintains a whirlwind travel schedule, from chamber breakfasts to chicken dinners. And his rib bon-cutting skills have become the stuff of political legend. Let’s face it. Jim Douglas is no Ruth Dwyer. Mayor Moonie, however, is primed to shine his Burlington moonlight over the whole state. Given the fact that two of the last three governors came from Burlington, he might have a shot. Asked if he’d agree that passage of permit-reform legislation was a “big win” for Douglas, Clavelle answered, “I don’t think so.” “We need permit reform,” said Mayor Moonie, “but creating more judges and more \york for lawyers is not part of my vision.” Circ Shootout! — U.S. District Court, above Burlington’s main post office, will be the setting Friday morning for two hours of brilliant legal arguments that will help determine the fate of the long-planned Chittenden County Circumferential Highway. This one’s for the whole shoot ing match, folks. And, believe it or not, President George W. Bush is at the center of the Vermont Circ storm. It was Bush’s executive order that put the Circ on the “fast track.” Circ oppo nents suggest the Bush “fast track” is little more than a presidential ruse designed to circumvent envi ronmental laws. This is also a biggie for Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. Candidate Douglas proudly announced Bush’s fast-tracking of the Circ just days before the 2002 election. A green light on the Circ would certainly be a feather in Gov. Jimmy Scissorhands’ cap. Sitting on bench and wear ing the long black robe Friday will be Judge William Sessions III. Not that it matters, but Judge Bill was appointed to the federal bench by President William Jefferson Clinton. Prior to that, Sessions’ political resume includes a tour of duty as Sen. Patrick Leahy’s 1992 campaign manager. Leahy won that race by 11 points over an up-and-coming Repub lican named Jim Douglas. Small world, eh? Judge Sessions is scheduled to release his Circumferential Highway decision by May 10. Friday’s event is free and open to the public. Refreshments, how ever, will not be served. ®

Flower Power

IM A G E Stefan Bumbeck

ardening is an all-American activity. Some 80 percent of Americans reportedly got back to the land last year, and are likely to do so again this reason. That’s good news for a country hoping to slotigh off its V- * slovenly image, as gardening is-ono of the healthiest , hobbies. But it can also be a real pain in the butt — and the back, wrists and arms. Flush with spring fever, hundreds of horticulturalists dash out to dig the flowerbeds, only to find themselves flat out on their own beds, unable to move a pulled muscle. And northern Vermonters, who’ve been waiting extra-long for planting season, often rush it even more than the rest of the country; winter lingers in their bones. “The boomers are out there, crying, ooh, ow!” says Rose Getch of the National Gardening Association (NGA), based in South Burlington. “But they also think, ‘I still want to garden, I still want my herbs, there’s nothing better in the world to me than a fresh tomato out of my own garden.’” Even among the younger set t— 27 percent of 18to 34-year-olds garden — toiling in the soil may well take a toll. Allergies, heat-related illnesses, sunburn, dehydration and cracked hands and feet are common complaints. Then there’s tendonitis, arthritis, creaky knees, slipped disks and severed digits, victims of lawnmowers and other power tools. Repetitiveemotion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome once considered the domain o f the cortiputer-bound, have * also gotten on gardeners’ nerves. The majority of pruners and planters report scratches, puncture wounds, animal and insect bites, cuts, scrapes and splinters. Usually it’s no big deal — unless you’re one of the unlucky few who contracts a deadly disease through that nick to the skin: Tetanus bacteria is commonly found in soil, ordinary dirt and manure. “Tetanus is rare in the U.S. today,” says

Gardening, unlike other forms of exercise, uses all the major muscle groups. C H A R L I E N A R D O Z Z I, N A T IO N A L G A R D E N I N G A S S O C IA T IO N

Susan Rehm, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “But it’s difficult to tell when you may be exposed, and the potential consequences can be devastating.” Weeding out many of these hazards is a snap. You can get a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) shot every 10 years; wear a hat and protective clothing; drink water (but not from the hose, which may contain traces of toxic chemicals); moisturize; take allergy medication; and be careful around power tools. But digging up solu tions to other aches and pains is a tougher task — gardening is, after all, a hands-on hobby that can contort the body. Now, thanks to growing awareness of accessibility issues, ergonomics and functional fitness, a crop of new products and techniques addresses gardening gripes. “There are so many adaptive ways that you can garden,” says Getch. She points to raised beds and containers — for less stooping and squatting — that are now in shops, catalogs, back yards and com munity plots. Longer tools also allow folks to stay upright; some gardeners make their own with PVC pipe, attaching non-slip foam or rubber grips to pre vent cramping. For inflamed joints, the Atlanta-based Arthritis Foundation recommends Bionic Gardening Gloves;

designed by a hand surgeon, they provide extra padding on the palm and between the fingers, and fit like a, well, glove. Squeezing a small “stress-ball” helps strengthen the hand, wrist and arm to reduce the risk of repetitive-motion injuries. And new loophandle, “bypass” pruners function like scissors, cut ting out the need to squeeze forcefully. Some garden ers pick low-maintenance plants such as day lilies and violas; others, like Getch, choose downsized hoes, shovels and rakes. “For many jobs, you really don’t need a monster tool,” she says. “You can use a kidsize tool and do the exact same thing, with less stress on your arms, hands and backs.” The rest of the body can be protected with a bit of conditioning. “Even if you’ve been working out all winter, skiing like a madman and going to the gym, it’s good to start out slow,” says Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturalist for the NGA. “Don’t go out and prune 20 fruit trees in one afternoon; work for an hour and then take a break, or do a number of different gardening tasks.” Every morning, Nardozzi practices yoga, one of the best ways to ready oneself for the rigors of reach ing, pulling, twisting, bending and balancing. Among the best postures for the back, sides and chest are the Cobra, Upward Facing Bow and Triangle, along with a series of Sun Salutations. All this preparation is worth it: Gardening’s bene fits outshine its hazards. An hour of trimming shrubs burns about 350 calories, while chopping wood, turning compost and digging up weeds can mimic crunches and weight-lifting exercises in the gym. The effort exerted while planting seeds is about the same as that expended during a bike ride; tilling a garden is comparable to aerobics — and usually gets more immediate results. “Gardening, unlike other forms of exercise, uses all the major muscle groups,” says Nardozzi. “And it’s fun — you’re not trying to dis tract yourself with a Walkman while you’re running and sweating and thinking, ‘Oh, god, it’s so hard, how many more minutes until I’ll be done, and then I can go have my donut?”’ Donuts aren’t the usual reward for time in the gar den. More Americans than ever are finding gardening to be the most satisfying — and cost-effective — way to eat healthy, organic food. Apartment dwellers can choose from a number of dwarf varieties of vegetable

plants and fruit trees, while others just fill window boxes to liven up fare without fat or sugar. “Herb gardening is really growing,” says Nardozzi. “People are becoming more health-conscious, trying more exotic flavors.” And even though they may eschew the exotic, kids are becoming increasingly grounded in gardening, thanks to new programs in schools and community gardens that aim to plant a seed for lifelong horticul ture. “Twenty years ago, a lot of people still had a connection with their rural roots,” says Nardozzi. “But now, even in the Burlington area, I run into kids who don’t know where food comes from. In Vermont! They think tomatoes come from a can or peas come from the frozen food section.” Through a program called Plant a Row for the Hungry, children can learn about the land and feel like they’re making a difference in the world by donating part of their harvest to local food shelters. Plus, studies have shown that kids who garden per form better in school, work more cooperatively with others and experience a greater level of self-esteem. These mental health benefits come as no surprise to anyone who’s spent time watching their wisteria bIodm? grown their own buttery Brussels sprouts or spijyjj w e n tire day pulling weeds after a bad break up. FoX; thousands of years and throughout the world, humans have found hope, catharsis and emotional well-being in gardening. Horticultural therapy is now an established professional field that focuses on help ing elderly, sick or traumatized patients heal through exposure to peaceful garden environments. From elaborate Japanese Zen landscapes to a few terracotta pots clustered outside the kitchen window, these heal ing gardens come in all sizes. Burlington writer KK Wilder, 62, stopped garden ing in 1994 when she became disabled. Last summer, she arranged for two wheelchair-accessible containers, made from septic-tank bottoms, at the Ethan Alien community garden. With the help of her 88-year-old mother, Wilder grew petunias, sunflowers, cucum bers, basil and Swiss chard. Morning glories cascaded from the corners, while more than 300 tomatoes appeared on a single plant. “List year was very diffi cult for me; I lost one of my best friends and four days later I lost my brother,” says Wilder. “Gardening made all the difference in the world. It was exactly the therapy I needed.” ©

Anyone who goes to the first-ever showcase of the state’s fine furniture makers this weekend at Shelburne Farms is likely to say, “Well, duh.” Indeed, it seems that a product combin ing the words wood, craftsmanship and Vermont would be the very-definition of high quality, and certainly furniture makers from one-person shops to factories already benefit in a general way from that esteem. It’s no accident that furniture giant Ethan Allen —1which is based in Connecticut — cashes in on the name of a famous Green Mountain Boy.

REGENCY SERVER BY JOHN LOMAS OF COTSWOLD FURNITURE from trees. The reputation part is easy; what makes it harder is that marketing money doesn’t grow on those trees. Enter the Vermont Department of Economic Development — and a supportive Douglas administration, which has taken notice of an industry that comprises nearly 19,000 Vermont worker^ and benefits the state to the tune of $24.9 million annually, according to 2002 figures. A debut appro priation of $40,000 from the Vermont Legislature, along with a couple of grants from other sources, made possible this week end’s event. “The showcase is one of the outcomes of

a long process our department has been doing with the wood industry in Vermont, specifically secondary wood products,” explains Deputy Commissioner Richard Smith. “It goes back a couple of years; a guy on our staff, George Robson, has been look ing at the industry, the natural resources, and looking at the threat from overseas and the opportunities that Vermont could avail itself of to compete. The comparison to agri culture products is there.” That “threat from overseas” hit Vermont’s furniture industry hard in the last few years, when Ethan Allen closed its factories in Island Pond (2001) and Randolph (2002) and reportedly synt jobs to China. Maybe the state-sanctioned Council can’t avert such disasters. But, when they do happen, it can provide support for such efforts as the Island Pond Woodworkers — the employee coop erative that rose from the ashes of the Ethan Allen plant. A direct outcome of state surveys and branding research, the Vermont Wood Products Marketing Council consists of nine members representing the whole spectrum of the wood industry. Its mandate is more complex than “sell more chairs,” though. As a nonprofit educational group it aspires to increase, both in state and out, “awareness of the outstanding design of the products, the environmental sensitivity of the manufactur ers, and their commitment to customer sat isfaction.” That’s a mission Jeff Parsons has stood behind for 21 years with his own company, Beeken Parsons, which crafts beautifully unique pieces of found “forest furniture” on the grounds of Shelburne Farms. Parsons is also the president of the Marketing Council, which he thinks can benefit Vermont profes sional woodworkers across the board. “The wood products industry is a pretty diverse group — from the industrial-type personali ties to the displaced hippies making stuff,” he says. “There hasn’t always been the level of communication and cooperation within the industry. I think the council is a real serious effort by as broad a spectrum as we can put together to really market ourselves.” Parsons notes that smaller operations tend to fall short in the self-promotion arena. Meanwhile the larger businesses find themselves shouldering the burden of com peting with less-expensive foreign goods. “There’s a very real potential for the Council to serve both groups well, small and large,” Parsons says. The key is to educate con sumers “about what the brand attributes are of our industry, our region and state.” Those attributes include the timeless appeal of handcrafting; the idea of products made by a local artisan using local, natural, renewable resources; and the aesthetic of

(802) 660-9533 beautiful, high-quality furniture that will become heirlooms. O f course, all those ideals can splinter when a consumer is faced with an attractively designed, cheap knock-off at a discount store. The Marketing Council hopes to encourage them to go with the Green Mountain grain. Even auxiliary participants in the furniture biz — architects, designers, interior decorators and the like — need to be better informed about Vermont’s resources, suggests Parsons. That’s why the Vermont Wood Products Showcase is offering a “trades” day on Friday. Governor Douglas him self will arrive in the afternoon to present awards in the First Annual Vermont Wood Products Design Competition.

Saturday, along with displays from some 20 established furniture makers and related businesses. Attendees can also take a guided tour of a working forest, look at model rooms furnished with Vermont wood products, watch demonstrations throughout the day — from lathe turnings to string inlays to carving curk for sleigh beds — and try their hands at building a toy truck. One of the “door” prizes is a small, handsome table made by Burlington woodworker Lars Larsen, who will also be demon strating wood joinery techniques Saturday afternoon. On the “oneman-show” end of the woodwork ing industry, Larsen doesn’t have a website and he’s not trying to brand his own name. Yet, net-

specific association in the state. After all, as the official, tree shaped “Vermont Quality Wood Products” logo notes, the industry has been around since 1791. The council’s umbrella covers some half-dozen other groups: the Vermont Wood Manufacturers Association (VWMA),j:he Guild, the Vermont Forest Products Association and Vermont WoodNet, as well as the state departments of Economic Development and Forests, Parks & Recreation. Each of these is represented by a member on the Council, along with individuals from several businesses. As important as these groups are within the state’s wood indus try, no one expects the general public to keep track of the

With nine categories, from production furniture to bowls to musical instruments, the options were broad. But even so, says Parsons, he was amazed at the diversity of participants. “We’ve had more than 100 entries and they come from all over,” he notes. “I’ve been on the board of the Vermont Wood Manufacturers Association for years and I think I know a lot about the industry in Vermont, but I didn’t recognize a lot of the names.” In addition to well-known woodworkers, entries came “from high school students, guys doing projects in their base ments,” says Parsons. Prizes will be granted based on the quality of the workmanship and the innova tion of design. The winners’ works will be on view for the general public on

working by word of mouth, he’s been building custom furniture since 1970. Representing the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers along with Colchester chairmaker Randall Henson, Larsen believes that “what we do is the draw” as far as that Vermont cachet is con cerned. That is, handcrafting mas ter-level pieces of furniture one at a time. Even large Vermont manu facturers with assembly lines rely on that reputation, he suggests. “The Marketing Council benefits of branding will trickle down,” Larsen says. “It’s important that the Council direct some of its resources to the smaller producers, but it’s also important for the smaller groups to speak up.” The Marketing Council is not, of course, the first or only wood-

acronyms, nor to care about who does what. But the Council does hope and expect that potential customers will come to under stand exactly why that pricey, handmade Vermont furniture is a good buy. No one could have more enthusiasm for that point than Council Secretary Mary Jeanne Packer, whom Larsen calls “the most important asset to woodmakers in the state.” She’s also the executive director of the VWMA, which is a founding Council member, and has become a spokeswoman, mover and shaker “because the other organizations don’t have staff,” she explains cheerfully.

Mike Dorey couldn't agree more that furniture buyers need a little education, even right here in Vermont. The manager of the new Cotswold Furniture Makers Gallery in Stowe, he notes that some shoppers simply look at price tags. And some “can’t handle the idea that they could have custom-made furni ture.” But he concedes that some customers do “walk in here and know right away the techniques and historical back ground” of the furniture. Cotswold’s designer is English craftsman John Lomas, who relo cated to Whiting in 1992 and continued building fine furniture adapted from the clean, elegant styles of Shaker and Mission tra ditions. The shop, which annually produces furniture valued at a half-million dollars, employs just four to 10 workers, Dorey explains. The Stowe showroom suggests a much larger operation, but despite an evident product line, he points out that 60 percent of the pieces are still custommade. The proliferating furniture makers and related businesses in the area are planning to market themselves as a group, according to Dorey. “We want to find as

unique many reasons as possible for peo ple to come to Stowe,” he says. As for the Vermont Wood Products Marketing Council, he believes the exposure, particularly out of state, is all good, but that the groups success “will depend on money from the state.” Cotswold is one of many Vermont manufacturers that have been successfully building their own brands — think Pompanoosuc, Charles Shackleton and Copeland, among oth ers. Some one-man shops have got the branding thing down, too, literally imprinting their names into the backs or bottoms of their creations. But many individual craftsmen, and women, let their finished prod ucts speak for themselves. One of them is Randall Henson, who has been making Windsor chairs for nearly eight years. Each chair, with its char acteristic broad, carved seat and spindle back, uses three kinds of wood and takes about a week and a half to make. Henson’s Colchester shop is the size of a two-car garage, and bears evidence of canoe building, too. But the chairs are his premier product, and about 75 percent of his busi ness. Prices range from $1600 for a rocker to $200 for a stool. Henson’s love for tradi tional craftsmanship is revealed by his equipment — the kind that was in use two centuries ago. What’s the appeal? “There’s less emphasis on power tools,” he says simply. “I can listen to VPR and shave spindles with hand tools.” Henson demonstrates lov ingly on his shaving horse, just as he does once a year at the Shel burne and Fairbanks museums. “Even a 4-year-old is big enough to work this,” he says. Like his friend Lars Larsen, Henson sells a lot through word of mouth and established customers — though he is online. He also relies on the Guild ofVermont Furniture Makers shows at galleries around the state. Henson says customers for his strong, and handsome chairs tend to be “people who are educated in and historically interested in furniture, who have an engi neering slant to them.” Henson sat on the Market ing Council committee as it was forming, representing the Guild. “It’s hard to say how effective it will be,” he surmis es. “I feel the Guild is compet ing against the larger organiza tions. But the advantage of the Guild is, we have 32 independ ent furniture makers who have been working on their skills for years. They’re very marketable. “When the Council wants to sell an image, it’s of the sole pro prietor pushing a plane in his or her shop,” Henson continues. “In the mind of out-of-staters, Vermont is associated with being very green, and Vermont-made with integrity and craftsmanship. Hopefully it will translate into more income for all secondary woodworkers.” Knock on wood. ®

802-878-7272 • Open 7 Days gift shop, tells me that often people who display Mary statues aren’t just looking for inspira tion. “Most o f the time, the gar dens are out in thanksgiving for some reason or other — prayers that have been answer-ed,” she says. Michaels has her own out door Mary statue*— a two-foothigh white figure made o f plas tic. “I didn’t go seeking her,” she; tells me. She acquired the statue years ago, when she helped an elderly woman clean her house and move her things into a nurs ing home. “O ne o f the things she said to me was, ‘T hat Mary statue needs a hom e,”’ Michaels recalls. “I put it so it faces the toad, so it would be seen. I just wanted her there, as a reminder to thank her every d ay ... She watches over myself and my kids... I come hom e from a long day, and I stop at my white Mary statue and say a prayer o f thanksgiving.” Though her Mary is plastic, Michaels recommends cement Marys for outdoor use. T he plas tic might sag if left in the sun on hot days. “I can get them in all sizes,” she says. “A 36-inch natu ral cement statue costs about $132. I can get statues for $600

or more if you w ant.” Doris and Larry Blanchard o f W inooski also have a Mary stat ue in their yard to give, thanks. “I thought, if the Lord would give me a house, I would have a statue in my back yard,” says Doris Blanchard. The elderly couple has displayed their Mary behind their hom e for 50 years. The three-foot-high cement fig ure stands in a grotto made o f concrete and stones and mortar. “A lot b fp eo p le think its a bath tub, but it’s hom em ade,” she says. No one I spoke with could explain the M ary-in-grotto motif, other than to say that often, when M ary appears as a vision to the faithful, she appears in some kind o f niche in rocks. But the bathtub, Larry Blanch ard says, makes perfect sense. “Bathtubs are already shaped,” he points out. To protect their M ary from snow and ice in the winter, the Blanchards cover her in plastic. “At one time we used to bring her in the shed, but it would take two people to do that, and we don’t have as many strong m en,” says Doris. D uring the summer, Larry Blanchard sets up rocking chairs, so the two can sit

in front of the grotto and watch the cars go by on Main Street. “You’d befsurprised how many people stop by,” says Larry. “We got a lady from New Hampshire stopped by to see it one day.” But the Blanchards also note that the num ber o f M ary statues seems to be waning. “People aren’t as Catholic as they used to be,” laments Larry, meaning both that there are fewer Catholics, and that the younger ones are less likely to display their devotion on the front lawn. Jed Marcelino, 74, agrees. He displays a plaster-of-Paris “Mary in a grotto” statue in the strip of mulch in front o f his house in Burlington’s New N orth End. H e’s had a M ary statue for years, since he was a kid. “It’s a reminder o f where you can go, who you can go to with your prayers,” he says. It disappoints him that younger people aren’t keeping the tradition alive, but he intends to keep his M ary for as long as he’s able. “I’ll continue to have one until I’m ready to go some place,” Marcelino says with a m orbid chuckle. He enjoys hav ing M ary around. “She’s quite a person,” he tells me, “if you get to know her.” (?)

hen I pulled into the driveway o f my mom’s South Burlington home last June!, I couldn't help but notice the front lawn had been replaced by what looked like an art installation crossed with a vacant lot. STORY Up to then, my mom’s suburban yard MARGOT hadn’t looked much different from those HARRISON o f her neighbors — a plot of grass framed by flowerbeds, tall spruce, and juniper and I MAGE arbor vitae planted a decade ago by land MICHAEL scapers. TONN Now I was staring at a maze of ovoid plots, each a jumble o f herbs and tiny trees and bushes adorned with meticulous labels. Driftwood logs outlined the plots, and one was topped by a sunbleached bone that looked like it had belonged to a steer. My sister put it more bluntly: “W hat’s all that junk in the yard?”

speaking and a feather twisted in his hair. While still a student at Burlington College, Volpe heard a local homeowner was looking for something novel and eco logical to do with her lawn. Volpe ended up designing and planting the garden as his senior project. My mom, Sophie Quest, supplied the space and materials. H art provided the inspiration. “Forest gardening.” The term suggests a marriage o f wild nature with human cultivation. Paging through H art’s book, though, I find that his “forest garden” is neither cultivated woodland nor a garden returned to nature — at least not “nature” in the hum an-hands-off sense. It takes both work and planning, and seems to involve planting a lot o f herbs, tiny fruit trees and perennial vegetables.

If you think this m e a n s a forest g arden is just a lawn that h a s n ’t b een m o w n in 1 O years, think again.

“It’s a forest garden,” my m other said proudly. But instead o f offering an expla nation, she handed me a book on the sub ject by British author Robert Hart. I decided to go out and have a looksee. Strolling among the “plots,” I saw that some o f the plants were humble: bunch berry, the dreaded creeping Charlie. •Others had a tinge o f the exotic: Siberian pea-shrub, bush cherry. M ost o f them looked like knee-high dry sticks, though the raspberry and gooseberry bushes are supposed to bear fruit. But “forest” gar den? “I would call it an urban woodland,” said Craig Volpe, my m other’s accomplice — a young m an with a laid-back way o f

My mom’s plant supplier, David Fried, owner o f Elmore Roots Nursery in Elmore Lake, offers a way to visualize it; “In Europe, people used to have hedgerows that served as windbreaks and natural habitats — fruit and nut trees grew up on the edges o f fields and forests. T h at’s what we try to emulate.” W hile forest trees tower to upwards of 70 feet, the trees Fried sells to prospective forest gardeners are in thf modest 10- to 20-foot range. T he idea is to emulate or “m imic” the ecosystem between grassland and forest proper. “I’m trying to take a lit tle snapshot o f natural succession,” says Volpe. But if you think this means a forest

We’re trying to go in the opposite direction — less technology, with maximum yield.” M aximum yield? In a forest? But then, as a glance at my mom’s yard will tell you, forest garden is a bit o f a misnomer. “T he trees themselves, the giant trees... unless they’re walnuts or sugar maples, they don’t really provide sustenance,” says Volpe. T he goal is to develop a self-sus taining back-yard ecosystem of smaller, fruit-bearing plants. “T he goal is not to have to worry,” Volpe confirms, holding out the tantalizing image o f a summer w ithout sprinklers and hoses. But if forest gardening is a model o f easy, sustainable culti vation, why aren’t more people doing it? Jacke says he knows people all over the Northeast who have “bits and pieces” of forest gardens, but “no one’s gone the full M onty.” Part o f the problem is the lack o f publicity. “It’s not a term I’m familiar w ith,” says Keller Ashby, assistant perennials m an ager at the Four Seasons Gardening Center in W illiston. She has customers who want to know what to plant on a wood land property, but no forest gar deners. Besides, she points out, “Vegetables don’t grow in the shade.” »

Another hurdle is finding edible plants that do grow in a modified woodland environ ment. “Perennial vegetables. W ho’d ever heard o f the term?” says Jacke. He cites the example o f wild leeks, which are native to Vermont — “there’s a great patch, in Putney.” But if you want leek seeds, you’ll probably have to get them in the wild or go online. Yet another obstacle is Vermont’s climate. Volpe con cedes, “A forest garden in Costa Rica would be a lot nicer.” The trick, once again, is to select hardy northern species. “O u r trees are out doors all the tim e,” says Fried. His nursery’s slogan is: “If it grows where we are, it will grow where you are” — no idle boast to anyone familiar with the deep-freeze winters in the Northeast Kingdom. Volpe thinks that, despite the practical hurdles, Vermont is a hotbed o f potential forest gardeners. “I feel like some thing like this embodies Vermont ideals. N ot necessari ly back to the land, but being stewards.” And for some local goals, perhaps “bits and pieces” of H art’s grand sustainability scheme are enough. For my mom, who enlisted Volpe to dig up her lawn, getting rid of the expanse o f grass — or “m onoculture,” as environ mentalists call it — was the whole point. She says, “It’s all about cleaning the air, having more trees and less pollution from gas mowers.” Americans’ attachm ent to their lawns runs deep — and that’s yet another reason forest gardening hasn’t caught on. “We’ve been taught that you have to have this beautiful green carpet o f lawn that goes from border to border,” says Fred Kosnitsky, a Burlington activist whose group, the Voice for Potash Brook, is running a summer Safe Lawn Campaign to get South Burlingtonians to stop dousing their grass with pesticides. “It’s what you’re supposed to do to be a good suburban homeowner.” “We’ll always have lawns. People, need them to play games,” says Volpe, tossing a ball for our dog, who’s a defi nite lawn fan. Still, he hopes the yard will burgeon into a “jungle.” It’ll take a while, he admits: “In the first three years or so, not much happens as far as the growth o f the plants.” “We have a quick-fix m en tality,” says Jacke, who confess es he lost his first forest garden to a move. “W hen I plant some o f these things, I’m planting for my children.” T he com m itm ent to an “urban woodland” is potential ly a lifelong one, but for some, the promise o f a sustainable sylvan oasis is w orth the wait — despite the comments from uncom prehending adult chil d ren.©

What Goes Up... akeview Terrace doesn’t have Burlington’s biggest or most lavish homes, but many of its residents say they wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else in the Queen City. Once a solidly working-class neighborhood, this sce nic street one block west of North Avenue offers spectacular views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks, and is w ithin‘easy walking or biking distance of the waterfront and downtown. It offers a sampling of Old North End diversity, with a mix of families, students, immigrants and young and old sin gles. Three out of four residents own their homes, and the average family has lived there 21 years, according to a recent survey. Earlier this year, the Lakeview Terrace Neighbor hood Association entered a float in the Mardi Gras parade and took first place — a testament to their strong community pride. But the neighborhood has also become the latest hot spot in Burlington’s ongoing debate over housing density and urban infill. Residents of Lakeview Terrace, Sunset Court and surrounding blocks are riled about a housing development that may be built in

ate traffic snarls and parking congestion, obstruct lake views, and reduce open space. This debate isn’t a garden-variety disagree ment between anti-growth NIMBYs and money-grubbing developers who want to cram as many condos as possible onto a small land parcel. Parties on both sides recog nise thabBurlington needs more affordable housing, and that the old warehouse could better serve the community if it were con verted into units that blend with the street’s residential character. The developers claim their new building is compatible with the aesthetic of the block, and that it’s attractive, environmentally sound, and offers a good mix of mid- and higher-priced dwellings. By their estimates, about one-fifth of the units would qualify as affordable housing. The main sticking point seems to be, how big is too big? And how much design flexibili ty should developers have? The city is tinkering with its zoning ordinances to encourage more high-density housing projects like this one as a reward for “adaptive reuse,” or the conversion of commercial and industrial buildings into

The project is in an early stage — a formal design proposal hasn’t even been sub mitted to the city yet. But based on prelimi nary sketches and discussions with Burlington-based developer the Hartland Group, the project could include as many as 28 condominiums on the 0.7-acre lot. Burlington officials view it as a dream development that addresses the city’s goal of increasing population without gentrification. But that’s not how the neighbors see the plans, which indicate an apartment complex larger than its neighbor just a few blocks south on North Avenue — “Commodore Point” is 16 units on a 0.6-acre lot.

housing. Currendy, the Burlington City Council is debating an amendment to its adaptive reuse law, which would allow the Hardand Group to use the first floor of the building for indoor resident parking. Alan Bjerke is opposed to the project. For the last five years, he has lived at 145 Lakeview Terrace beside the Cornell ware house. Bjerke, an attorney, says he doesn’t object to new neighbors moving in next door. He does, however, have a problem with the scope of this project. “I’m very concerned that the project as proposed by the Hardand Group is such a dramatic departure from the surrounding community,” Bjerke says. “What they’re proposing is a large, gated, fortress-like community where you need security cards to get in and out of the indoor parking.”

Bjerke’s neighbor, poet Greg Delanty, lives with his wife and son at the corner of Lakeview Terrace and Berry Street, across the street from the Cornell ware house. Delanty says he is sympa thetic to the need for more affordable housing in the Old North End — he spent five years working with the homeless in his native Ireland — but questions the need for such a large apart ment building and all the addi tional cars it would bring to their tiny block. “I’m as anxious as any one, if not more, that people get housing in the city. I’m not insen sitive,” Delanty says. “My main thing is parking and traffic... It’ll be a huge impact for us.” A group of Lakeview Terrace I residents who meet on a regular basis have generated a list of concerns, such as maintaining the existing trees and landscap ing, preserving the scenic quali ty of the block, screening the new building’s trash, recycling and utility services from public view, and ensuring that the building’s design fits in with other buildings on the block. Recently, they conducted a neighborhood survey and found that 85 percent of the residents oppose the idea of putting 20 or more apartments on that site. O f the 46 families who respond ed to the survey, nearly all said that their biggest concerns are how many apartments are built, how many people will live there and how much of the lot the new building would occupy. But the developers from the Hardand Group say their design concept has been misconstrued, as have their efforts to clarify the city’s adaptive reuse ordinance. Hardand Group co-founders Charles LuffVid Miro Weinberg er are not old-school developers who erect ugjty strip malls, bigbox stores-or other eyesores on the suburban landscape. Lief and Weinberger both come from a nonprofit background at the New York-based Grayston Foundation, where they developed more than $45 million in affordable housing and community development projects. Weinberger, a Vermont native, worked for Habitat for Humanity in Georgia and Flori da, and currently serves on the steering committee for the Ver mont Forum on Sprawl’s “Ver mont Neighborhoods Project.” rt I. As Weinberger explains, par. of the misunderstanding comes I from the belief that the proposed |j zoning amendment would allow them to build more units per ^cre and erect larger buildings than the law currently allows. Neither is the case. Under exist ing law, if a builder converts a structure that doesn’t conform with the surrounding residential zoning — in this case, a ware house — into a conforming use, like homes and apartments, the city offers a “density bonus.” That bonus allows the builder to double the number of units per acre from 20 to 40. However, the law, as currently written, also discourages builders from using the existing structure for any thing but housing units. Indoor parking doesn’t qualify for the density bonus.

That’s unfortunate in the case of the CorneU building, Weinber ger explains, because the ware house, which was once a Packard automobile showroom, is ideally suited for enclosed parking. And since the city encourages builders to conceal parking indoors, it would eliminate the need for an outdoor parking lot that con sumes open space, which in turn could be better used for landscap ing, patio decks, back yards and other features that are more Have you been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)? attractive to residents and neigh bors alike.

diamond-flecked copper and green table gunner adds dazzle to your dinner party. Deep-blue and gold walk § hangings lend the living room a r d g ^ ‘ air. Fine handm ade fabrics can ^ STORY role in altering the decor inside your SARAH home. But in the case o f Creative TUFF Women, w hat’s really changing is 6000 miles away, in Addis Ababa, «» IMAGE where the goods are produced. MATTHEW Grand Isle entrepreneur Ellen THORSEN Dorsch founded the textile company two years ago. “I suppose what I am C reative W om en is an im porter,” she says o f her busi fa b ric s can b e fo u n d a t t h e P eace ness partnership w ith a textile compa ny — M enby’s Design — in & Ju s tic e S to re i n B u rlin g to n , Ethiopia. “But I have this goal that t h e S h e lb u rn e what we do on Earth should con C raft School's tribute, not take away. So I see what G allery o n th e I’m doing as a way to create jobs in G reen, S tu d io Di D isegno in Ethiopia, and at the same time bring * C o lch ester a n d beautiful things to this country.” N o rth sh ire Back in the 1980s, the U.S. night B o o k sto re in ly news showed images o f Ethiopia as M an ch ester. a country literally wasting away —

the famine o f 1984-1985 killed more than 1 million. But Dorsch envisioned a different land. “This sounds cosmic or something, but I had always wanted to go to Ethiopia,” she says. “As I kid, I always thought Ethiopia sounded so romantic!” Dorsch began working for the Vermont D epartm ent o f Health in the 1970s, and established an interna tional training program for Planned Parenthood before becoming a free lance health consultant. She first trav eled to Africa in 1986 and saw some thing remarkable in the people — particularly in the women o f Uganda and Ethiopia. “There were incredible men, too,” she says. “But what struck me were the professional women who started nonprofit organizations in their coun tries to help other women, at the local level, deal with rights in terms of marriage and family and inheritance; they also worked on national poli

cies.” Eventually Dorsch grew frus trated with nonprofit funding issues, and in 2002 decided to pursue her relationship with the continent on different terms. W hile consulting in Ethiopia — and visiting with her daughter, whose husband was stationed there as an economist — Dorsch noticed the intricate woven work running along the borders, or tibeb, o f the women’s white garments. W hy not turn this edging into something Westerners would be interested in buying? “You could see some o f this in tourist shops,” she says. “But it wasn’t being marketed in the W est.” Some of the colors and patterns wouldn’t fit stylistically in American homes, Dorsch realized; she hoped to translate the traditional tibeb into something slightly more contem po rary yet wholly unique. She returned to Addis Ababa and shared her idea with several contacts there, eventually

finding a partner in the wife o f a demographer with whom Dorsch had worked — Menbere Alemayehu, a.k.a. Menby. “We decided that we would give it a try,” she says. “Menby would be the production end and I would buy from her and do the mar keting and the selling at this end.” Ethiopia’s economy had shown signs o f recovery after the hunger crisis of the m id-’80s, but by 2002 it was struggling again. A border war with Eritrea had cost billions, and the gov ernm ent was funding military rather than civilian projects. “It’s a very frag ile place,” says Dorsch. “Like many parts of the world — including our country — the gap between the rich and the poor is just getting bigger over there. You do see conspicuous wealth in the form o f beautiful cars and welldressed people, but the poverty in Addis can be mind-boggling.” In establishing her partnership with Menby, Dorsch hoped to help families around the Ethiopian capital find long-term, sustainable solutions to financial problems. W orking solely with women-owned businesses that hired mostly women seemed to be the right route. “It’s not sexism,” she says. “Money that gets into the hands of the women goes to the family. And — this is not just my idea, there’s a lot of research on this — if women can be economically independent, they have a lot more control over their sexuality, their safety, their life in general. She can say to a man who’s abusive or whatever, ‘No, I’m not going to live in these unsafe conditions.’ T hat has as much impact as the other work I was doing in reproductive health care. It was just another way of getting to improve women’s lives.” Ironically, two men are the weavers for Creative Women; working the looms has long been an occupation for hundreds of men in Addis, while women grow and hand-spin the cot ton and later do all the sewing of scarves, shawls, pillows and pocketbooks. Dorsch and Menby plan out the patterns and colors together. “Menby and her husband had lived in the U.S.; she got a degree in design from Delaware, and her hus band a Ph.D. in demography,” Dorsch explains. “So she can picture a Western living room or bedroom, and has been a perfect bridge between the two cultures.” The first time Menby and Dorsch met with a weaver, he commented that the colors they had chosen were ugly. As Dorsch does not speak Amharic, Menby replied, “It really doesn’t matter what you think, it matters what the people in New York think.” New York was, in fact, the site of Dorsch’s first sale. Shortly after pro duction began in fall 2002, she sold pillows and shawls to a small Brook lyn boutique and gift store. She had been taking courses at M anhattan’s Fashion Institute o f Technology, where she was astonished to learn that the average high-end American bed typically supports 11 pillows. Dorsch also joined the M useum Store Association and applied to the exclusive handm ade division o f the New York International Gift Fair, which is held every August in M anhattan’s Javits Center and draws 45,000 buyers from hundreds of

home and craft stores. Creative W omen was accepted to the juried show, and Dorsch began to network extensively. Sales were slow at first. Dorsch discovered that buyers are reluctant to place big orders with a brand-new business — even if it has a “wonderful mission o f creating jobs.” And when they did come through, she was con fused by some o f the retail jar gon. “Stores would say to me, ‘Can I have net 30?’ and I would say, ‘Sure,’” she recalls. “And then I had to phone a friend up and say, ‘W hat did I just give them, net 30?’ It means they can have 30 days to pay me, which helps their cash flow but hurts mine.” To make finances tighter, Dorsch pays M enby for every thing up front — enough to

Pillow prices start at $60. Scarves sell for around $50, shawls for $70. Dorsch now travels to Addis Ababa twice a year and is begin ning to see some subtle, positive changes in the city. As she drives through the streets, she marvels at the plots o f grass and flowers appearing alongside the concrete — a result o f an Ethiopian gar dening project that involves kids from poor neighborhoods. Menby, meanwhile, envisions buying some land with her hus band and building a multi-story facility for the design business, as

I have this goal that what we do on Earth should contribute, not take away. ELLEN DORSCH ensure a self-sustaining business with adequate working condi tions for the weavers and seam"stresses in Addis Ababa. “It’s an ongoing learning experience,” Dorsch concedes. “I used to sleep better.” After a few real-life lessons in marketing and design, Dorsch and M enby now have their products in about 35 stores nationwide, including four in Vermont. They are expanding their line to include more pocketbooks and holiday-inspired fabrics with sparkling metallic threads. Initially hesitant cus-

A m y J o h n s to n throw s th e b o o k at builders fiter a live remote interview with CN N last week, Vermonter Amy Johnston was invited to do future segments in person at the cable network’s New York City studio. As author of a new book — What the “Experts”May STORY Not Tell You About... Building or Renovating SUSAN Your Home — the Burlington resident has GREEN been caught up in a whirlwind of national promotion. Yet this literary interlude is I MAGE merely the latest chapter in her lifelong pas JORDAN sion for the nuts and bolts of construction. SILVERMAN “Four generations of women in my fami ly have been visionaries who renovated old Am y Jo h n s to n 's houses with the help of men,” Johnston says s e m in a rs re su m e of her unusual legacy. “But I was the first to i n B u rlin g to n o n J u n e 5 a n d 6. swing a hammer.” That hands-on experience since child In fo , 8 6 3 -1 5 8 5 o r www. hood led Johnston, now 45, to a rather d re a m h o u se male-dominated career.

roles — construction manager and owner’s representative — on projects throughout the state that convert rundown property into affordable housing. Some were downtown revitalizations incorporating commercial and residential spaces. Johnston acquired a reputation that often preceded her. “I’d meet people socially who expected me to listen to their horror sto ries,” she says. “At a wedding, I was all dressed up and some guy told me: ‘I want to talk with you about my toilet seal.’” Despite such awkward requests, Johnston felt compassion for the walking wounded of home construction and restoration. “When I saw the level of hurt and failure and betrayal — worse than divorce stories! — I thought, ‘There’s got to be a better way,”’ she explains. “If these people knew even 10 per cent of how professionals manage a job, they

plained-about group, according to the Better Business Bureau,” she says. “It’s like entering a foreign culture, and most people have no idea how to prepare.” Johnstons Dreamhouse Institute began to offer intensive graining seminars called “Avoiding the Money Pit” in the mid-1990s. At her first session, one partici pant was a judge who said that, in a quarter-century on the bench, he’d observed that 40 percent of his lawsuits were between contrac tors and homeowners. Clearly, the dilemma had reached epidemic proportions. Johnson decided it was time to reach out to a nationwide audi ence of “beginners who need to become informed consumers of design and construction servic es,” she says. “I’m trying to close the knowledge gap.” In late 2002 Johnston found a publisher, Warner Books, for her proposed compendium. She researched other works available on the subject. “Most were writ ten by contractors and had all of this technical detail, like how many screws are needed in a piece of sheetrock,” she says. “I had to focus on a triage of the incidental material and provide a linear text with lots of cross-references.” What the “Experts”May Not Tell You covers a range of topics from dealing with loan officers to getting bids from contractors to surviving the permitting process to monitoring construc tion. Johnston offers plenty of practical advice for those build ing from scratch: “Nature can provide nasty surprises like rock ledge, high water, no water, bad soils, poor drainage,” she writes. “If you are not familiar with what’s underground before you start and the neighboring prop erty owners can’t assure you of what’s under there, some advance work by a civil engineer may be money well spent.” A hip subhead, The Yin to Your Yang: The Right Architectfor You, is followed by a quote from I.M. Pei, a modern master of the art: “Nobody would question Einstein about relativity, but everyone has an opinion about architecture.” Johnston suggests that it’s crucial to understand what specific skills to look for in the person you hire to design your home. One size does not fit all. The 299-page book reflects Johnston’s mission to provide a “tangible resource” for anyone making or remaking a house. “My intention is not to be an author, but rather to get all this information from my head to paper to homeowners,” she explains. “I also wanted to write it as an invitation to my semi nars, which I hope to do all over the country. The media seems impressed that expertise in these matters emanates from a woman. For Johnston, however, the female factor is old-hat in a family of visionary renovators. Her elders were always a formidable sup- ' port group when she was still swinging a hammer. “I remember how my maternal grandmother in a nursing home would revel in it,” Johnston * recalls. “She’d ask, ‘Dear, how did the floors turn out?”’ ®

Eva Morse, 65, has run the Town B u rlin g to n . Clerks Office from her home for 40 years. Calais recently started construc tion on an office that will operate independently o f Morse’s residence. But for now, citizens in search o f voter-registration forms and other bureaucratic paperwork are bathed in the perfume o f Morse’s orchids. W hat is it about these flowers that provokes such passion? “They’re so chiseled and so perfect,” Morse sighs. “You almost don’t believe they’re real.” Morse isn’t alone in her “orchidelirium”; societies have sprung up all over the country for the flower, and there are enough orchidists in Vermont to support three far-flung clubs: T he Twin State O rchid Society in Norwich, the Green M ountain O rchid Society in Warren and the

one Morse belongs to: the Gardener’s Supply Orchid Club in Burlington, where orchidists meet m onthly to dis cuss flower families such as Dendrobia and Cattleyas, and trade tips for grow ing orchids. At their April meeting this week, orchid-expert Steve Frowine talks £bout “Growing Orchids w ithout a Greenhouse.” Orchids have enraptured people for thousands o f years: The ancient Greeks ate the bulbous roots o f the orchis (meaning “testicle”) plant to

orchid hobbyists were usually wealthy; in 1800 a single plant could cost the modern equivalent o f $1000. Reliable artificial germination (intro duced in 1917 by Lewis Knudson) and cloning from tissue cultures (I960, Georges Morel) turned orchid growing into a relatively affordable hobby. Today, the price o f a single plant hovers between $10 and $40. N o single gateway leads to the orchid habit. Some orchidophiles receive their first flowers as gifts.

quite able to account for the escala tion. Hope Riehle, 71, o f South Burlington bought her first orchid when her son was 2 years old. T hat son now has children o f his own, and Riehle has more than 200 orchids. “W hen I’m in the greenhouse, I com pletely lose myself,” she admits. Her collection has waxed and waned in the past 30 years — sometimes dra matically, as when her son shipped 150 plants to her from Thailand —

Others read about the flower in a magazine or attend an orchid show. After their initial orchid experience, aficionados’ stories begin to sound the same.

but more often in plant-by-plant increments. “You can’t just buy one; you’re hooked,” she says. “It’s really a disease.” Darrin N orton, 38, owns M ountain Orchids in Ludlow. He describes his current occupation as “a hobby that has gone basically nuts.” N orton went into the business to sup-

port his own orchid habit. He has been collecting the flowers for 24 years, and breeding and selling them for a decade. As an orchid wholesaler, N orton is familiar with the variety o f orchid hobbyists. People can spend a lifetime pursuing certain shades o f pink, he says, or search out orchids that fit their home decor just so, or are o f just one species. “You’ll have someone after a gigantic plant right next to someone who’s fallen for a little twig o f a thing an inchand-a-half tall,” he says. Whatever people’s initial reasons for growing orchids, their first success jump-starts a “life-long passion,” N orton notes. “Orchids have a deep persona that the public recog nizes one way or another. People with very little plant knowledge still recognize orchids. They may not know why, but somewhere in their psyche, they know.” W hen asked to estimate how many orchids are in his own greenhouse, N orton paus es for a long m om ent, then offers a rough estimate of 20,000. Orchids are “sort o f like potato chips,” he says. “You can’t have just one, you have to have two. Before you know it, the bag’s em pty and you’re addicted.” Morse started her first orchids on her windowsill, but soon moved them to her porch during the day and brought them into her living room in the evenings. Her porch started out enclosed by screens, which were replaced by plastic, then by glass, until the structure was finally expanded and finished as a 32-by-8-foot greenhouse. Orchids may intimidate grow ers, Morse observes, but their apparent fragility is misleading. “They’re fighters. They’re sur vivors. .. They seem to thrive on less care rather than more. If I had three I might kill them with kindness. Instead I have 300 and I get to them when I can.”

W ith m ore th a n 3 0 ,0 0 0 species, Orchidacae is the world’s largest, oldest and most varied plant family. In the wild they thrive in virtually every imaginable climate: at sea level and 1400 feet above it, under ground and in the teeth o f 60mile-per-hour winds. There are orchids in Peru that will only grow on cactuses. Some grow in the ground, but many grow on trees with their roots in the air, absorbing moisture from the ether. Orchidists insist that, despite popular misconception, orchids are neither parasites nor carnivorous. But this is patently untrue: Orchids grow on and consume orchidists. There is no 12-step pro gram for orchid addicts, but botanical societies let them meet with their fellow suffer ers.

Indeed, for moderate distances they often find that riding or walking is faster and more convenient than driving a car. Until recendy, however, Chittenden County residents were spared serious concern about congestion and emissions. Year after year, our roads and environment seemed capable of handling any demands placed upon them, and the single occupancy vehicle (SOV) remained the standard way to go for commuters, shoppers, and recreational travelers. Now attitudes are starting to change as the impact of our growing population and predominant low-density development pattern becomes clear. Many of us know from daily experience that our roads — no matter how modern, well maintained, and efficient — are finite in their capacities. Traffic congestion, especially in the peak morning and evening periods, frequendy causes delays and adds to our air and water pollution. Just how serious are the traffic problems in Chittenden County? Consider these revealing statistics: •

Drivers in small and medi um-size cities spend five times as long stalled in traffic as they did in 1982.

•

By 2025, traffic congestion in Chittenden County is predicted to increase over 300 percent.

A typical Vermont car, driv en 17,000 miles per year, produces 13,600 pounds of carbon dioxide, 935 pounds o f carbon monoxide, 114 pounds o f hydrocarbons, and 68 pounds of nitrogen oxides.

One way that CCM PO addresses these issues is by rais ing public awareness of the available alternatives. This will be our particular focus on May 3—7, when we join with CCTA, the Lake Champlain Committee, Local Motion, the 10% Challenge of the Alliance for Climate Action, Chittenden Bank, and other organizations in supporting Way to Go Week. Building on the popularity and success of previous years’ Curb Your Car Day, Way to Go Week will feature a different trans portation alternative - walking, taking the bus, telecommuting, biking, and carpooling/ vanpooling —on each o f five days. The event will also include special events, prizes, and discounts on walking and biking gear for participants. Last year, Curb Your Car Day prevented 2,434 pounds of pollution and saved 1,679 gallons of gas —in just one day! Now, as we strive for even greater results, we will encour age everyone to “Try a new way —every day.” Those who do will, we believe, enjoy the alter natives they try while making a significant contribution to the quality of our environment and the efficiency of our transporta tion infrastructure. I invite you to join us. First, visit www.WayToGoVT.org to learn more and complete an online registration form. Then, on May 3—7, try some new ways to go —and see how pleasant, convenient, and healthful they can be!

whom have been collecting for years. Orchids approach sexual m aturity unhurriedly, Nadeau explains. It takes ieven years for a plant to blossom for the first time, and thereafter, many bloom just once a year — some only for a day. It is difficult to imagine doting on a plant for such meager rewards, but these late bloomers’ fecundity is fan tastic; one orchid seedpod might contain 3 million seeds. And as with sex, anticipation can be a big part o f the allure. To demonstrate the captivat ing properties o f orchids, Nadeau points out one particu larly sensuous plant. A Phalaenopsis, or M oth Orchid, is popular with beginners; it does well on windowsills and is not terribly demanding. It is also quite striking, with long sequences o f large blossoms on a single spike. This particular plant has eight teacup-sized blossoms dangling from a whip like stem. Their complexions are porcelain, and with their thick, pouting pink lips, they resemble a gaggle of geisha. Each blossom is full and fleshy, with thick, taut petals begging for a caress. Peering into the brazen heart of these flowers, one starts to get a glimpse of their sway over peo ple. M ost orchids are herm aphro dites, with their male and female procreating parts fused into a single, all-purpose colum n at the crux o f their blossoms. Beyond this physical sexual duality, orchids are powerfully sensual, and flirt heavily with both ends o f the sexual spectrum. Some, like the cattleyas, have meaty, fleshy folds. These capti vated painter Georgia O ’Keeffe, whose canvasses brim w ith vulvaic botany. Others, like the

Lady’s-slipper orchid, have pen dulous, unlady-like pouches, immortalized in Robert M applethorpe’s photographs of their dark, muscular blossoms. Orchids also have lips — a single distinct petal — whose aim is to attract pollinating insects, and whose aesthetic affect is often breathtaking. They are an orchid’s most ornamental fea ture, and may have crests, tails, horns, fans or teeth. The greatest display o f the breadth and depth of the orchid family takes place annually at the New York International

Orchid Show. W ith 10,000 orchids on display and atten dance figures hovering around 200,000, it offers the grandest display o f orchids within reason able driving distance of Vermont. Under a tent on the skating rink at Rockefeller Plaza earlier this m onth, there were orchids with yellow tongues perched on their lips; orchids with velvety petals o f deep, stunning fuchsia; orchids whose complex buttery blossoms had shockingly maroon lips; orchids with petals like birthday ribbons. There were orchids with wingspans of a foot and some the size o f a Tic-Tac. Some looked like trum pets; some resembled rabbits with bishop hats; some suggest ed jellyfish; others posed as pinwheels; or looked like beds of butterflies, like sea cucumbers, like bunches o f grapes. The M oth Orchids on display were crisp and luminous, like lit tle moons. M inute Dendrobia with molten blossoms smoldered like beds of coal. Some orchids sparkled like crystals of sugar, while others had the complexion of 40-pound paper or glowed like hot blown glass. One flower’s foliage suggested the coiffure of a monstrous Rapunzel, with thick leaves drooping languidly 5 feet out of its pot. Its blossom was a shape less, brick-red mess. The crotch of this blossom smelled like fetid meat with a hint of sauerkraut. The room had a haunting, spicy perfume — some flowers smelled like cinnamon or lemon-cake, others had no smell at all — and everyone at the show was bumbling around like drunken bees. It was easy to see how the orchid addiction can escalate. How could you stand to take home just three? Much easier to leave with 300. ®

THE ROUNDABOUT SOLUTION Peter Freyne asks whether the Circ Highway reduces greenhouse gases [“Inside Track,” April 14], and reveals that the short circuit of environ mental evaluation by the Douglas administration leaves this question unanswered. Any new highway, like the Circ, in an urban area spurs sprawl, expanding the consum ption of gasoline from increased driving and sprawled development. In the material submitted to the Federal Highway Administration, one Circ alter native attains equal reduction o f congestion and delay — just 17 m odern roundabouts. Converting a busy signal-intersection to a roundabout doesn’t just sharply cut delay and reduce serious injuries by upwards o f 90 percent, that roundabout also sharply reduces gas consum ption and greenhouse gases! At a typical roundabout-saving o f 20,000 gallons yearly o f gasoline, the reduction o f green house gases from 17 roundabout conversions pushes the Burlington-area greenhouse gas initia tive pursued by the Alliance for Climate Action well along the path to returning greenhouse gases to 10 percent below 1990 levels. Two major roundabouts for W inooski’s down town redevelopment replace two signal systems, the first set for construction next year. Even the Governor’s hometown o f M iddlebury seriously considers four intersections along U.S. 7 for roundabout conversion. It used to be new high way infrastructure — like the Circ — required exhaustive study to minimize harm. But convert ing to roundabdiits improves the environment! No further study needed! From pollution to storm water runoff and healthy air, the roundabout delivers — it is the highway weapon-of-choice for the environment and greenhouse-gas reduction! Tony R edington MONTPELIER

MISPLACED BLAME ...T h e racist illustration on page 22a of the April 7 issue, depicting an Indian woman and a grotesque caricature o f an Asian man, is a new low for Seven Days — and I can’t wait to hear the sanctimonious justifications of the freedom-of-thepress types who don’t give a dam n who gets hurt in this sort o f racist smear. It’s merely a matter of art, I suppose. Their racist attitude is w hat’s come to be “politically correct” these days. T he drawing was about as ugly as I can imag ine, but also it was a moral and political lie. These two grinning members of minorities are shown to be stealing work from an American worker behind a desk. T he fact of the matter is it is U.S. big busi ness that is and has been for decades stealing the jobs and sending them abroad. Even people who have lost their jobs to the slogan “off-shore out sourcing,” I suspect, understand that it’s not the people o f other countries stealing food off their tables but, rather, it is big businesses and their government who are and have been causing the lowering o f living standards across the board for U.S. workers. And it didn’t start with Bush. The crooks in Clinton’s administration, and m uch far ther back, are also responsible, though recently government has been turning such theft into an ugly art form.

CLEAR THE AIR W hat I heard on the radio today shocked and appalled me more than anything I have ever heard, further reinforcing my view that society is degenerating into depravity, recently evidenced by the antics o f Howard Stern and Janet Jackson. Today, while delivering Seven Days newspaper, I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh program. T h at’s right, I deliver Seven Days and listen to

Rush'Limbaugh. I find his show both entertaining and informative. But what I heard today on the show cannot be tolerated. Mr. Limbaugh, as an aside between commercial breaks, asked, “W hy do we need to have a Colum bine memorial?” and stated his belief that it was a tactic by the media to drum up support for gun-control regulations. I call on the FCC to immediately and vigor ously investigate this incident to the fullest extent of their authority. To hear a nationally syndicated radio personality demean and trivialize a somber occasion as this offended me at least as much as the hundreds of racial jokes I have heard on the Howard Stern Show and even the brief wardrobe malfunction. Perhaps even more. Granted, upon hearing the offensive remark I took the bold move o f changing radio stations. But certainly this cannot be adequate protection against this kind o f filth. After all, the Rush Limbaugh show claims 20 millions listeners a week. W hat if some o f them were children? How can a parent be reasonably expected to impress upon their child the gravity and significance of honoring those tragically lost if a role model such as Rush Limbaugh regards it with such flippancy? There is, however, a glimmer o f hope. You see, the Rush Limbaugh show is locally broadcast by W X ZO , a Clear Channel Network. I am relieved to see that Clear Channel has chosen to take the lead in combating such obscene material on the airwaves. W ith luck, they will show consistency in their policy decisions and ban Rush Limbaugh from their local affiliates.

BIO REAL I read with a critical eye the letter [April 21 ] “Veggie Power” prom oting the use o f vegetable oil as fuel for diesel engines. As a seasoned diesel motorist, I wholeheartedly support one’s right to drive cheaply, but as a concerned citizen, I rebuke the growing belief that bio-diesel is a panacea for the far-reaching and austere effects o f oil-crazed culture. To believe that using vegetable oil as a new source o f energy will mitigate the ailments o f our reckless over-consumption is misguided and illuso ry. In the short term, while waste oil is in abun dant supply, bio-diesel is an economical alternative to traditional fuels. But to produce enough to sup port our current lifestyle would be exceedingly taxing, if not impossible, for our agriculture. Further, considering that the main ingredient of most commercial fertilizers and pesticides is petro leum, bio-diesel is nothing more than gasoline in disguise. My intent is not to dismiss grassroots move ments for change, but rather to ensure that our focus is in the right place. We must stop believing that science will accommodate our reluctance to downscale our consumption, just as the obese per son must stop relying on diet pills to support his gluttonous eating habits. To salvage the future of this nation, I suggest fighting subsidies that pro mote suburban sprawl and increase our dependence on automobiles, supporting local economies, and lobbying for viable public-transportation networks. So drive cheaply while you can, but enough with the earthy bum per stickers, already. By using bio-diesel, you’re really only helping yourself. Aaron Carlino BURLINGTON

review this THEN... SILENCE, DEMO (Self-released, CD) Fronted by Erik Bachman, who is better known as "Dux, the Balloon Man," Then... Silence is a fresh new indie group just appearing on the Burlington radar. While the band also features instrumentalists Joe Harshbarger and Nick Curtis, Demo is mostly Dux's affair. "Silent Apathy," the record opener, is an angsty, acoustic tune that sounds like an unplugged version of any number of heart-on-sleeve rock ers. "Another You" follows a similar path with Dux's vocals swinging from soft-spoken introspection to whiney warble. Unfortunately, after the first two cuts, Dux changes direc tion and tries to get funny. "Lori the Baking Queen" is a lame mish-mash of Tenacious D., Weird Al Yankovic and the sort of stoned tomfoolery heard at a high-school open mike. There's something amateurish about being weird sim ply for the sake of seeming "cool," and it's clear that is Dux's main MO. "Homo Erotica Song," where he endlessly repeats the title while tossing in phrases such as "put i t in my ass," "the colon's just a little bit to the left," and "pull it out and hit me with your shitty dick" is about as moron ic as pop music can get — not to mention offensive. Then... Silence has created something rare: a record so humorless and embarrassing that i t should never be heard again.

(Radio Bean Records, CD)

Abby Jenne and her band play socially conscious, mischie vous, acoustic folk-rock. Her best tracks, like "Brave New Woman," are quirky country-lite charmers. Jenne's voice has a twang that reminds me of the tssex Green's Sasha Bell or Alanis Morissette in her softer moments. There's a badass charm in lines like "So Miller, my darlin'/Please hear me a callin'/Get your ass back to the States/'Cos although Canada's cool/I fucking hate school/And I don't even much like to wait," from "Miller." Though the record is all over the place musically, it is generally likeable. Her cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" is an unexpected treat — not the best version I've heard, but it's hard to go wrong with that number. The best parts of the album cause a sponta neous grin and a good deal of toe-tapping. A nice debut from East Barre's Star Pudding Productions.

The Black Sea Quartet have come a long way, both musically and artistically, since their selftitled debut recording in 2003. Their new CD, Be Always Drunken — after a Baudelaire quote — definitely has the right stuff to make you boogaloo up and down the streets of Pinsk, or Crown Heights, or Burlington. It's fittin g that Drunken is one of the first releases on Radio Bean Records, as BSQ are a favorite house band at the label's namesake, that little cultural center on North Winooski Ave. Unlike the Quartet's previous recording, almost all the selections here are traditional klezmer or Eastern European numbers. Some of the 10 tracks are recorded live — you can hear the applause — and it's easy to tell that BSQ have their onstage act together. These guys sound as if they've been playing together for about 30 years, have waxed out most of the musical zits, and in the process have managed to crochet Eastern European music in with jammy bar-band licks and make it work. Mandolinist Mike Deutsch wields his flatpick with a steady hand, gliding from tightly con trolled tremolos to cascades of 32nd notes and overmodulated distortion dripping with wah-wah. David Symons remains the hottest and most obsessively intense accordion player in the neighbor hood, and the only guy around with the gall and accent to pull off a credible job of singing in Yiddish. Deutsch and Symons have worked out how to get enough sonic variety from their melody instruments to keep things interesting, while bassist John Thompson-Figueroa and percussionist Jeff Campoli create a solid foundation without eclipsing the melodies. It's a pleasure to be able to hear i t all. The result sounds as if engineer Chad Burnette knows his stuff; he clearly under stood what this band needed in the studio. ^ The mix of jazzy improvisation and yiddishkeit on Be Always Drunken makes the music of BSQ closer to classic klezmer in the tradition of masters such as Dave Tarras, Abe Schwartz and Naftule Brandwein, not to mention "second-generation" interpreters such as the Klezmer Conservatory Band and Andy Statman. The good points of Be Always Drunken more than make up for some overlong solos on a few selections and the chop job done on the beautiful Shabbat prayer "Shalom Aleichem." (The band subjects the music to the Vanilla Fudge treatment, stretch ing the melody like taffy and layering it with a schmaltzy "la la" vocal accompaniment, making it seem to last for decades.) But chop schmop, you might say. The group is beginning to pick up larger-venue shows: Rumor has it that Black Sea Quartet w ill be one of the featured bands at this summer's Vermont Public Radio listeners' picnic. Here's hoping they gets a lot more gigs so everyone can hear what a dynamic "ethnic" band is supposed to sound like.

hen you enter Montpelier’s Riverwalk Records, you might think it looks like any number of other shops that line the streets of Vermont’s crunchy capital. Local artwork is mounted on clean white walls, along with posters of the STORY ETHAN Grateful Dead. A rack of Baja shirts COVEY offers prime hippie fashion. It feels laidback. But when you pay closer attention, I MAGE MATTHEW it becomes clear that this is no typical THORSEN incense-and-flower-power record store. The psychedelic depictions of Jerry Garcia, drawn with a variety of DayGlo colors and dizzying fonts, are sell ing for hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars. There are no CDs in sight. Large wooden racks hold uncountable LPs arranged alphabetical ly and by genre. First pressings of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album rest in plastic sleeves beside rare recordings by other ’60s greats such as The Band, Neil Young and The Who. A black wooden case, filled with 12 original Rolling Stones records, goes for just under $300. A first edition of Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica carries a $50 price tag. Since last June, the Langdon Street shop has been providing vinyl junkies and die-hard music fans with classic and hard-to-find records and concert posters. The place is a haven for anyone obsessed with the sounds o f a long-gone era.

A ._

The traffic in his shop, though, suggests that’s not quite true. The store has become a true family affair, with Mullikin’s wife Jennifer keeping the books and children Brendan and Suzannah lending a hand at the counter. During the early- to mid-’60s, Mullikin, like most kids of his genera tion, became infatuated with the brash, loud music he suddenly heard pumping from radio and television stations. Growing up near Los Angeles, he was exposed to many legends of the time,

W hen CDs c a m e out in 1 9 8 3 , I thought it was the end of the world. PATRICK MULLIKIN

Owner Patrick Mullikin, a friendly, fiftysomething man with bristles of sil very hair, opened the shop as an outlet for his own passions. “LPs were the medium growing up,” he says. “When CDs came out in 1 983,1 thought it was the end of the world. All of a sud den the size and art of albums dimin ished. [LPs] are so beautiful. Now no one cares about having real records.”

attending concerts by The Doors, Cream, Steppenwolf and others. “I saw The Beatles in Los Angeles in 1964,” he recalls with a nostalgic smile. “There was screaming and yelling and they only played for 20 minutes, but it was incredible.” At Riverwalk, Mullikin has been sur prised by the youth of many of his cus tomers. Though he expected the store’s

regulars to be boomer men looking to fill gaps in their collections, in fact a number of patrons are high school- and college-age kids fascinated by this clas sic music. “Everyone wants the Dead and Miles Davis,” Mullikin says, adding that Riverwalk also sells large quantities of folk and Celtic records. “Not too long ago, I had this kid who must have been no more than 8 or 9, come into the shop. He immediately walked over to the box that holds 78s and shouted, ‘Hey, mom, Bing Crosby!”’ Mullikin laughs. “I was amazed. He then came directly over to me to let me know that two of the records I had in the box shouldn’t have been there because they were actually 33s instead of 78s. I couldn’t believe it.” Business has been bustling since the shop opened, with sales increasing each month. Mullikin estimates that, he cur rently sells 75 to 100 records a week — not large numbers for a Tower Records, but respectable for a store specializing in rarities. The poster business has also been strong, with a half-dozen pieces selling each week. Every item Mullikin sells is an original, with the colorful art adver tising gigs by Quicksilver Messenger Service and other stars X)f the psychedel ic revolution. Along with the vintage * pieces, he has current works from clubs such as Boston’s Avalon and Philadel

phia’s Trocadero, which have resurrected the concert-poster art form. Last November, Mullikin began booking Vermont musicians at the store to play intimate, smoke- and alcoholfree concerts. Held the first and third Saturday of each month, the series has presented local legends Dave Keller, Josh Brooks, The Warrens, Abby Jenne and others. The relaxed evenings have proven popular for both the musicians and the crowd, and Mullikin has already scheduled shows through next fall. Each act has a custom-made, signed poster of his or her own that hangs behind the stool on which the musician performs. An old acoustic gui tar autographed by each artist is dis played on a wall. Wandering around the store, Mullikin gestures to everything from stacks of old 45s to $80 copies of Miles Davis records, which he claims cus tomers purchase without batting an eye. Asked what he’d suggest if someone with no musical experience walked in wanting to be turned on to the world of rock ’n’ roll, Mullikin answers without hesitation, “Oh, definitely The Beatles’ catalog. I’d have them pick out an inex pensive copy of Sgt. Pepper, and the cheapest original Fillmore poster. I’d have them hang the poster in their liv ing room, stare at it, and listen to the record each day.” He smiles contented ly. “Then they’d be a better person.” ®

East-West Test ichard Weis has been a studio art instructor at Green M ountain College in Poultney since 1989, but he was also recently a visiting artist at the University o f Wales in Aberystwyth and at H annam University in South Korea. D uring those back-to-back sojourns, when he wasn’t in front .of a classroom, Weis was out in the field, discovering — and rendering — farflung corners o f the world. His 16 paintings and drawings now on view at the Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne are partially inspired by those two very different landscapes. Several o f the most overtly Koreaninspired pieces use the form o f a verti cally opened scroll, but Weis doesn’t simply ape that art tradition. “Yellow Rhythm Korea” has broad black-andwhite lines dropping down the length o f a yellow background. There are occasional red outlines, but no forced fa u x calligraphy. “Street Dance” is a larger painting that combines four vertical scrolls abutting each other. Broad, black brush lines define positive and nega tive shapes. A background o f white gives way to blues near the upper left corner. Jagged yellow lines also appear, but they’re not necessarily Korean-

REGIONAL ART TEACHERS' SHOW:

inspired; the curves and angles of the piece also call to mind the sinuous shapes o f the late New York artist Keith Haring. Weis’ well-produced non-scroll paintings also mix East and West, though ultimately they are closer to traditional Western genres. Weis is a solid abstractionist who is inspired by the landscape. O ne Welsh painting on canvas, “Tan Ybwlch Red,” hangs next to the Korean “Bopdong,” a work framed under glass and positioned on an easel. The two works are similar in composition, with a section o f smaller forms grouped toward the upper left in each. In “Tan Ybwlch Red,” those forms m ight be read as elements in a landscape. Weis relies on local Welsh color here; land, hill and sea are visual ly folded together with blues and greens, while reds and charcoal lines produce free-formed details. Two mixed-media pieces on paper use stormy blues and blacks in their compositions, and both have similarly dark chromatic harmonies in the upper sections. “Ur Song #111” is done in charcoal and pastel, and its drawn Tines are wonderfully fine, tight ly woven striations. They create the sinewy surfaces o f the forms, which

resemble clouds or muscles. Appearing under a cerulean blue expanse, the forms run from white-edged details to heavier, black, distant shadows. Weis’ “Storm on the Promenade” is practically an inversion of the sky form in “Ur Song #111.” T he lightest values of both pieces are clustered near the bottom . But in “Storm,” the eye is drawn upward by virtue o f naturalistic details: T he “pathway” snakes toward the distance, as a curved shoreline leads the viewer’s attention out to sea, and there is a thin horizon line at the top o f “Storm” that does not appear in “Ur Song #111” despite the paintings’ identical hues. “Carlach Sampson,” the most realis tic work in this show, depicts a feature on the Welsh landscape. It looks like a mini Stonehenge, with a capstone and a few standing stones holding it up. Weis drew the elegantly simple penand-ink piece with just a few sketchy lines. A layer o f ink wash was applied in a few areas: sky, ground and shad ows on the vertical stones. T hat economical definition o f form is a constant in Weis’ works — across the several media he has mastered, and across the cultures that have inspired him. (7)

< film c lip s > PREVIEWS BOBBY JONES: Going from son of God to god

L a tte r D a y s ★ ★ ★

I M IS S IO N A R Y P O S IT IO N Sandvoss finds h im self betw een a rock and a hard place w hen he falls for th e boy next door.

n the directorial debut from C. Jay Cox, a fresh-faced M orm on missionary played by Steve Sandvoss is dis patched to knock on doors in the not exactly promising neighborhoods o f present-day L.A. Over time, he makes a fateful acquaintance and finds himself deeply and passion ately smitten. W hich lands him in serious hot water with disapproving church elders back home and forces him to choose between his old life and new love. Cox is no stranger to Hollywood. He scripted the Reese W itherspoon hit Sweet Home Alabama, and Latter Days may sound like just another bit o f fish-out-of-water form u la. At least until you learn the person Sandvoss falls for is a promiscuous gay waiter with the ironic name o f Christian. T h at’s right, this is a rom antic comedy in which boy meets boy. Wes Ramsey costars as a good-looking but vac uous resident o f the complex in which Sandvoss shares an apartm ent with three fellow missionaries. They get to know one another over visits to the communal laundry room, where the two discover they share a love o f movies but have almost nothing else in common. Ramseys a creature o f the flesh who treats sex as casual ly as a handshake. As devoted to his church as he is, Sandvoss doesn’t have a problem with the idea o f em bark ing on a gay romance, just with the idea of it being a meaningless one. The film’s subplot involves the twentysomething denizens o f a trendy restaurant called Lila’s. Ramseys char acter is one o f a half dozen or so for whom the place is a touchstone. The rest are a com bination o f carefree gay men and young women hoping to leave waitressing behind at any m om ent for glamorous careers as actresses or singers. As secondary characters go, these tend toward the stock variety — though Cox does feed them dialogue with a sort o f “Will and Grace”-meets-“Friends” snap to it in places. O ne o f the m any pleasures awaiting viewers in Cox’s picture is a rare Jacqueline Bisset sighting. T he actress turns in an appealingly regal performance in the role o f the . nightspot’s owner, a brassy, classy babe who drinks vintage wine like its going out o f style and acts as loving m other

Sandvoss at one point. “I wouldn’t want to live in a world w ithout either.” M ary Kay Place, on the other hand, is determ ined to do exactly that. T he Big Chill star is, well, chilling in the role ’o f the young M orm on’s mother, a spiritual and emotional train wreck o f a woman with little to offer her son when he’s sent home in disgrace other than a ticket to a nearby treatm ent facility.

Ramsey's heartbreak, stock taking and determination to see to it that the relationship gets a second chance are a s .», affecting as anything the genre has produced in recent memory. The twist here is that the excommunicated Sandvoss doesn’t chuck it all for a life o f easy ecstasy. He remains com m itted to his core values and worldview. It’s Ramsey’s boy toy who undergoes a transformation into a caring, thinking upgrade o f himself. Separated by a thousand miles and prevented from com m unicating with each other by bigoted buttinskis, neither knows w hat’s become o f the other. Ramsey’s heartbreak, stocktaking and determ ination, to see to it that the relationship gets a second chance are as affecting as anything the genre has produced in recent memory. Certainly gays will occupy most o f the seats wherever Cox’s film plays. The personal struggles faced by its charac ters will no doubt resonate most strongly with them. My guess is that’ll prove true o f the sex scenes, too. Anyone capable o f being entertained and moved by a smartly made rom antic comedy, on the other hand, is likely to prove a .Cphyeft. I have.

when the deliciously sardonic tone turns somewhat saccharioe. Becker should have kept the narrative as pungent as a Spreewald pickle. Distributors shortened The Seven Samurai before its 1954 U.S. release in the belief that American audiences would have no patience for a 207minute Japanese epic. But on April 30 the Shelburne Film Series will screen the uncut version of Akira Kurosawa’s black-and-white masterpiece about 15th-century soldiers of fortune recruit ed to protect a poor agricultural village from marauding bandits. Even if seats at the Town Offices Building are nominal ly comfortable, it might be wise to bring along cushions or pillows for a three-and-a-half-hour picture. The free 6:30 p.m. event is sponsored by the Vermont Film Commission and the Shelburne Craft School.

Once Christiane comes to, Alex’s mission is to shield her from the truth. That requires extraordinary effort. He essentially constructs a G D R theme park in their drab apartment, where she is confined to complete bed rest near her framed poster of Che Guevara. In some of the funniest sequences, Alex and his pal Denis (Florian Lukas), an aspiring filmmaker, produce tri umphantly patriotic pre-reunification news reports. Thanks to a hidden VCR, they can “broadcast” these fake pro grams on Christianes television. W itty and inventive, Good Bye, Leninl begins to wear out its welcome

He and his sister Ariane (Maria Simon), who works at a previously verboten Burger King, have already adapted to capitalism. Alex sells TV satellite dishes door to door.

Few sagas are sadder to depict than the plight of Planet Earth’s estimat ed 15 million refugees. Megan Mylan and John Shenk apparently spent more than a year shooting Lost Boys of the Sudan, which chronicles two young men from Africa who immigrate to our shores as part of the tired, poor, hud

dled masses yearning to breathe free. O n May 7 and 8, the Roxy will host 7 p.m. screenings of the documentary to benefit the Sudan Education Fund. It’s a joint venture of the Vermont Interna tional Film Festival and the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, which brought about 40 “Lost Boys” to the Green Mountain State in 2001. Last year the fest showed In This World, a gripping feature about two Afghanis — one of them an adolescent — who face terrible obstacles while trying to reach Europe. About 20,000 Sudanese kids, mosdy orphans fleeing a civil war that killed millions in the late 1980s, encountered starvation, lions and other ordeals on their long walk to safety in Kenya. Peter and Santino are two person able guys from the Dinka tribe chosen for asylum in Texas, where they discover that the American Dream is a mixed bag. This year’s festival, unspooling from October 13 to 18, focuses on “images and issues of global concern.” Accordingly, the annual Queen City cinematic extravaganza is among 16 founding members of the Human Rights Film Network, launched earlier this month in Prague with like-minded events in Seoul, Warsaw, Buenos Aires and points beyond.

THE PUZZLE:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Remember this: 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.)

Fannie kissed the ring of Pope JOHN PAUL at a time when he was nodding off. She won't stay with Cousin Candy in QUINCY, Mass., because she has 24 dogs.

Burlington Bread is undergoing a facelift! The area's local currency will be relaunched at the Sustainable Communities Conference in Burlington this July. Bread will be printed on more durable paper and have a new look. Burlington Currency has launched a communitywide contest to solicit new designs. Displayed here are artists' submissions for the 1, 5, 10 and 20 slice bills, plus artwork that could be worked into any denomination. Seven Days readers, vote on your favorite designs! The entire showcase of artists' submissions is on display at Boutitier's, 98 Church St. in Burlington. The public vote will determine the finalists, which the BCP Board will decide on at its next meeting. For more details, check out www.burlingtoncurrency.org, or call Bread Vista Adam Murray at 951-5174. Seven Days will display winning designs in the May 21 issue.

BEAT GENERATION Ja z z drum m er-com poser Bobby Previte began banging on a homemade set when he was a teenager. He hoped it would help him m eet girls. Today, Previte's beats attract a bigger crowd th an | he ever im agined in th ose days of pu bescent p ercussion. He and his band Bump, called "the Led Zeppelin of Ja z z ," emerged on New York's downtown scene in the '80s. After a 10-year hiatus, they're back in the studio and on stage, producing deep, raw d riÂ ving ja z z with funky, soulful undertones. Previte co nfesses th a t he only records when he "has som eth'ng to say." Hear th e m usical message from his latest release,

Counterclockwise, when he

brings his quartet to B urlington.

LA u n selo r Dear Lola, My wife and I have never experienced any sexual difficulties before, but for the past month or so I’ve been having trouble, er, rising to the occasion. It’s not that I lack desire or hay^lost interest in my wife. But my body just w ^ ’t cooperate. I’ve neVer experienced anything like this before. T n g o h ly other recent event is that my 30-year-old daughter (from a previous marriage), who lived with us for six months because o f her own marital difficulties, just moved into her own apartment. D o I need Viagra?

Soft in South Burlington Dear Soft, N ot necessarily. You don’t say so, but I imagine that life w ith your daughter may not have been easy. Perhaps unresolved conflicts between you and your wife are interfering w ith sex. If you’re old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter, age may be a factor. Erectile dysfunction can also be a symptom o f an undiagnosed health prob lem. And repeated disappointm ent can lead to performance anxiety. N ow that you’ve got your privacy back, you can break that cycle by finding alternative ways to be intimate. Meanwhile, it wouldn’t hurt to see a doctor. H ang in there! Love, Lola

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In Montgomery; Alabama there is an intersec tion where Jefferson Davis Avenue meets Rosa Parks Avenue. The first street is named after the president of the secessionist slave owning states in Americas Civil War. The other is named in honor of the black woman whose brave actions in 1954 helped launch the civil rights movement. I’d like to suggest that this place is a good symbol for the crossroads where you now stand, Aries. Why? Meditate on these two possibilities. 1. The controlling, dogmatic rebel in you has come head-to-head with the flexible, free dom-loving rebel in you. 2. The loud, belli cose fighter in you is in a struggle with the poised, strategic fighter in you.

TAU RU S

(Apr. 20-May 20): Close your eyes and take yourself back in time to the moment when you slipped free of your mothers womb. Imagine your original breath; recreate the sensation of air rushing into your lungs for the first time. Remember it as the end of your warm, dark, watery existence and the beginning of your sojourn in this bright, dry, spacious world. Dwell there in that simulation for a while, Taurus, then consider this: You will soon experience, in a metaphorical way and on a higher level, another first breath. Like the earlier version, it will be both unsetding and vivifying, a time of poignancy and celebration.

GEM INI (May 21-June 20): Years ago, rock star Sting bragged about the extravagant tantric lovemaking that he and his wife enjoyed. Their erotic sessions sometimes lasted for eight consecutive hours, he said. But recendy he confessed that his earlier claims had been overstated.

“W hat I didn’t say about the eight-hour marathons,” he told British TV station ITV, “was that they included four hours of begging and then dinner and a movie.” I urge you to regard Sting as your role model in the coming week, Gemini. Spend some time making good-humored correcdons of your past hyperbole. While you’re at it, atone for any other extreme or immoderate behavior that may still be generating misconceptions.

CAN CER

(June 21-July 22): Though he wrote almost five centuries ago, comic novelist Francois Rabelais provided the perfect advice for you this week: “It behooves all adventurers to treat their good luck with reverence, neither bothering nor upsetting it.” In other words, Cancerian, don’t spend even a minute wondering why your life is blessed with so much grace right now. Refrain from analyzing it, dis coursing about it or theorizing on how you might be able to preserve it. Instead, use it exuberantly and with a devout sense of gratitude. Explore in vivid detail what it feels like to be a freewheeling adventurer.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Now that you’re in the ambition-building phase of your yearly cycle, I figure you’re ready for a fresh set of cute aphorisms. Use the follow ing to fuel the fire in your belly, the chutz pah in your heart and the gleam in your eye. 1. If you don’t run your own life, some one else will. 2. Opportunity often slips by unrecognized, disguised as hard work. 3. Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself. 4. Be willing to give up what you are for what you can become. 5. Follow your dreams, except the one where you’re giving a speech in your underwear.

SCORPIO

V IR G O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The influential New York Times Book Review may soon begin to emphasize nonfiction books and cut back on its coverage of lit erary fiction. “The most compelling ideas tend to be in the nonfiction world,” Times executive editor Bill Keller said in an interview, launching the rumors. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti decried such a move, telling the San Francisco Chronicle's Heidi Benson that “the national con sciousness has [already] been taken over by the technological and pragmatic.” He’d like to see more fiction and poetry. Regardless of where you might stand on this issue for the long haul, Virgo, it’s important to side with Ferlinghetti for now. You need less knowledge and more imagination, fewer of the hard facts and more of the dreamy truths.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Just because you’re born under a particular sign doesn’t mean you’re forever obligated to be a perfect example of all its classical qualities. O n the contrary, a growing num ber o f visionary astrologers recommend regular rebellions against your type. To do so keeps you honest; it prevents you from being consumed by habit. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time for you to periodically elude the Scorpio trance. It almost doesn’t matter which alternatives you experiment with, but I believe you’ll gain a lot by trying on Libran and Aquarian perspectives.

SA G ITTA R IU S <N„. 22 Dec. 21): Forty years ago, three repetitions of a 60-second TV commercial were enough to reach 80 percent of the popula tion. Today it takes 117 such plugs to accomplish the same effect. Why? The pro liferation of cable TV stations and other media means that a business has to work much harder to spread the word about its product. You’ll face a similar prospect in the coming weeks and months, Sagittarius. Because your competition will be expand ing and multiplying, you’ll have to grow in order to keep from falling behind. I think that’s good news, though. The pressure to improve will be healthy for you.

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): U.S. President Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919. For the next 17 months, until his term was over, his wife Edith was the de facto Commander in Chief of the United States. She hid the severity of his incapacity, allowing only his doctors to see him as he hid in his sick room at the White House. Meanwhile, she issued a steady stream of policy deci sions, signed treaties and presidential directives, always written in her own hand. I believe you Libras now have a chance to play a role comparable to Edith’s: to be the power behind the throne. Here are your words to live by, courtesy of philanthropist Art Rennison: “There is no end to what can be accomplished if you don’t care who gets the credit.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Desire makes everything blossom,” mused French novelist Marcel Proust. “Possession makes everything wither and fade.” If the first part of that quote is true, Capricorn, you’ll be in full bloom any minute now. The astrological omens suggest that your longings will explode with the forceful beauty of five-dozen long-stemmed

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Have you ever gone to a film merely looking for lightweight diversion, but instead you get bowled over by a moving scene that inspires you to change your life for the bet ter? Have you ever sought out a friend in the hope of receiving unconditional approval, but she gendy points out a flaw in your thinking that helps you shed a per nicious delusion? Fate will offer you lifeenhancing substitutions like these in the coming week, Pisces. Don’t be fanatically attached to fulfilling your expectations.

Scott Moylan, M.S., L.Ac., Qi Gong & Kung Fu Instructor

g o t p ea ce?

I won’t be upset with you if you decide to buy a case of gourmet chocolate, have your bathroom floor redone in a style resembling the throne room of a seventeenth-century French king, or get cosmetic surgery on your least-favorite physical feature. The astrological omens suggest that you have every right to splurge in order to make yourself feel really good. However, there are less materialistic, more soul-satisfying ways to channel your mandate for lavish self-ful fillment. Consider the possibility of hiring a coach or going on a meditation retreat, for instance. Revamp your diet so it’s twice as healthy as it is now, or find a way to release the natural endorphins in your brain on a more regular basis.

H e m id e m is e m iq u a v e r

s all you operatic coloraturas already know, a hem idem isem iquaver is the equivalent o f h alf a dem isemiquaver. Plain and sim ple, it’s a sixtyfourth note; whereas the all-new D odge D urango represents som ething like one sixty-seventh o f the field o f sp o rt/u tility vehicles presently playing arpeggio w ith our traffic systems. A nd as all you couch-bound teletubbies already know, the new D odge D urango is the only SU V available w ith venerable “H em i” horsepow er so reverently adored by w ide-eyed m ale suburbanites whose June Cleaver wives are m ore prim ly preoc cupied w ith airbags and rear-seat D V D theaters for the children. I do feel sorry for these children. It’s getting so an auto reviewer doesn’t know w hat to opinionate about any m ore. I f I light into a discussion o f D urango’s 5.7-liter V 8 “H em i,” do I laud the legendary hem ispherical com bustion cham bers from the muscle-car ’60s? O r do I p o in t o u t th at carbureted V8s are the dodo birds o f our 21st-century biom e — and th at today’s fuel-inject ed, com puter-m odulated “H em i” shares very little w ith its hallow ed ancestor? T h en again, m aybe it’s the 3 84-w att Infinity A M /F M /in -d ash six-C D audio system backed by an optional D V D en tertain m en t center ($1150) th at should com prise the soul o f a m odern auto review. N o t enough “Sponge Bob” in your baby’s day? T here’s even hope for M om and D ad now th at “Bubba the Love Sponge” has been yanked o ff the air. M aybe he’ll establish his new o rbit w ith Sirius satellite radio, w hich is an o th er D urango option ($325). It’s p u n k o f m e to im ply th a t a m arketplace capable o f procreating 67 different SU V m odels is som ehow veering o ff track. T im e for m e to get on board, I suppose.

C H U T EN O B I CO UN TY TRA N SPO R TA TIO N ■ ■ aAuUtTH h cO R ITY

2004 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED; 7-pass., 4-door; 4WD, 5.7-liter 0HV "Hemi" V8, 335 hp/370 ft.-lbs.; 5-sp. auto; cargo: 20/69/102 cu. ft.; payload: 1,520 lbs.; tow: 8,700 lbs.; base price: $34,255; as-tested, with HVAC, roof rack, 17-in. wheels, fog lamps, sunroof, AM/FM/in-dash 6-CD, rear DVD theater: $39,565.

So th e first th in g I notice is th a t SUV s are em i n en tly em pirical. You evaluate th em by co u n tin g things. C upholders, for instance. W ell, okay, th a t’s n o t so good for starters since the new D u ran g o has m ore cupholders th an I could conclusively co u n t. L et’s try again w ith the “fast food b in .” Yep, there is one. T h e only one I know o f in the business, in fact. .. T h ere’s room for seven occupants, distributed am ong three rows. M oreover, the th ird row folds an d tum bles flat, and the second row split-folds in 4 0 /2 0 /4 0 sections. T his initiates impressive p erm u tations for com m ingling different num bers o f pas sengers and things. All told, the D u ran g o boasts 20 cu. ft. o f anytim e storage behind row three; 68.4 cu. ft. b eh in d row two; and 102 cubes beh in d the driver an d fro n t passenger. W ith the optional 5.7-liter H em i underhood ($895), there are lots m ore goodies to count. T here’s 335 horsepower, and there’s 370 ft.-lbs. o f torque. T h a t’s an impressive herd o f ponies, and D urango makes the m ost o f ’em. W ith the all-tim e fourwheel-drive pow ertrain, supplem ented by an o p tio n

CARPOOL

C O N N E C T IO N

al tow package ($455), the H em i-pow ered D urango tows up to 8700 lbs. (M ake that 8950 lbs., by the way, if you o pt for a rear-wheel-drive H em i-D .) So far, pretty good num bers for D urango. Some o f ‘em are best or near-best in class. A nd then there’s mileage — hem idem isem i mileage, in a m an n er o f speaking. T h e 5.7-liter D urango gets just 13 m iles-per-gallon/C ity and 18 m iles-per-gallon/ Highway. It’s hardly a m atter o f splitting hairs into little hem i-sized shafts to say, “Shame!” D odge’s defense, o f course, is to protest, “Everybody does it.” Full-size SUVs are uniform ly bibulous. But D odge’s brouhaha over the 2004 D urango is about w h at’s so new, new, new. An uncreative surrender to this level o f mileage from a m odern engine design is, by contrast, tediously old. W ith 67 SUVs to choose from , it’s clear th a t n o b o d y ’s yet co m p lain in g too m u ch ab o u t sp e n d th rift m ileage. C heeky T V spots teach in g toddlers how to say “H e m i” raise a smile, after all. W h a t will be th e reaction w hen those kids, all grow n up o ne day, pull up to th e fuel p u m p an d learn to say, “O u c h ”?
