them seems pretty small. The report of the doctor who was OK with inducing labor, but not OK with instilling the solution that would kill the fetus beforehand, went right to the point. I would suggest that patientcontrolled administration of lateterm abortion be introduced. The doctor would set everything up; the patient, or her advocate, would push the button. That way, the person in charge of the pregnancy has the responsibility for terminating it — which is exactly as it should be. If anyone’s upset about the

planned delivery or removal of a dead fetus, then the problem of unwanted pregnancy should be addressed even earlier — in sexeducation programs in our schools, where all the facts of life are presented frankly and honestly. Every citizen should know the basics about birth control, the morning-after pill, early abortion and late abortion. An ounce of prevention is still the easy way out. Katharine M. Hikel, MD HINESBURG

ARTFUL APPRECIATION Pamela Polston’s statement [“State

of the Arts,” May 11] that “Burlington has not been kind to the Vermont Arts Council’s 40th anniversary touring show” doesn’t acknowledge that the “Art of Achievement” exhibition is succeeding precisely because the community quickly rallied to help support the arts. The Council is indebted to the City of Burlington, its Mayor, Burlington City Arts, Flynn Arts, the Fleming Museum, Redstone Property Management, Place Creative Company, Queen City Printers, the Wyndham Hotel, Booska Movers and, especially,

Lawson Lane Associates, which donated the space for the exhibition, along with a host of other businesses, local artists, curators and volunteers who offered their time and resources to Council staff and Trustees to help “fix” the situation precipitated by the unfortunate circumstances surrounding two local businesses. The outpouring of encouragement and assistance surrounding subsequent events leading up to the dinner honoring former Governor Hoff and the reception for the exhibition is a tribute not only to the power of the arts to bring together individuals and groups to solve problems, but to the generous and proactive spirit of the greater community. When the exhibition closes at the end of May and moves to Bennington, it will not be “with great relief,” but instead with great appreciation and respect for our many kind friends who support the arts in Burlington. John Zwick SOUTH BURLINGTON

FLUSH NEWSWEEK DOWN THE TOILET!

NOT IDLE SPECULATION Paula Routly’s provocative interview with James Howard Kunstler [“Global Warning,” April 13] may be surprising news for many Vermonters. One way we can begin to save energy while also reducing pollution is to turn off our vehicles instead of idling. Opportunities to save energy abound in our lives; it is usually

just a matter of changing habits. And one bad habit that comes immediately to mind is a practice of letting our vehicle idle for no apparent reason. Vehicles often sit idling in parking lots, in driveways and other places. Drivers of delivery vehicles leave the engine running as they unload parcels. We see vehicles idle while their drivers wait to pick someone up after work, school or practice. Remember, when you are idling, you are burning fuel but going nowhere. Idling is not only a tremendous waste of energy and money; it is also a needless source of pollution. It can be avoided by the simple turn of a key. Fleet operators, both public and private, could implement idlingreduction policies. Maybe shopping areas, schools, workplaces, entertainment facilities and other places could establish idle-free zones. Auto mechanics tell me that 10 seconds of idling can use more fuel than turning off the engine and restarting it. They also tell me that excessive idling can actually damage your engine components. If all motorists made a commitment to reduce their idling time, we would have cleaner air and fewer hospital visits related to respiratory problems. We would know that we are doing our part to combat climate change and pollution. David Polow

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

A New Instant Dawn

I

t was an historic Montpeculiar moment, but it happened almost in secret. There was no ceremony in the governor’s office. No reporters or TV cameras were present, and no press release was issued. But last Thursday, Gov. Jim Douglas signed into law a bill that will forever change the way Burlingtonians elect their mayor — Instant Runoff Voting has arrived in Vermont! On the recent March Town Meeting Day, Queen City voters overwhelmingly approved a charter change instituting IRV as the new method for electing mayors. The first implementation of the IRV system will occur next March. Trust me, it’s going to make for a different kind of campaign. Perhaps even a kinder and gentler one, too. Mayor Peter Clavelle told Inside Track this week that, despite the lack of fanfare surrounding the new law, IRV will “invigorate democracy” in the Queen City. The seven-term mayor, a Progressive who became a Democrat, has long been an enthusiastic supporter of IRV because, he says, “It makes a lot of sense.” Under the old election rules, a winning Burlington mayoral candidate had to get at least 40 percent of the votes cast. If no candidate did, a second runoff election between the top two would be conducted. Under the new rules, however, the bar for victory has been raised to 50 percent. If no mayoral candidate reaches 50 percent when the ballots are counted, an instant runoff occurs. And that’s where the fun begins! For example, let’s say there are four candidates for mayor. Voters will have the opportunity of ranking those four according to their preference as well as adding a write-in candidate. On the first instant-runoff round, the last-place candidate is dropped and his/her ballots are distributed according to their marked second preference. A new count is taken. If no one has broken the 50 percent threshold, the next-lowest candidate gets dropped and his/her votes distributed according to the marked second preferences. And so on until a winner is picked. For an online Flash demonstration of how IRV works, check out http://www.instantrunoff.com. The point is, when all the counting and recounting is done, voters end up with a mayor who, as Clavelle noted, “will serve with majority support.” Progressive City Councilor Phil Fiermonte, a top aide to Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders and a potential mayoral candidate himself, called last week’s bill signing “a great victory for election reform.” The IRV method, said Phil the Prog, “will allow voters to back a third-party candidate without worrying about the spoiler effect.” Rep. Kurt Wright, Burlington’s lone Republican member of the Vermont House, was the only Burlington rep who was not a cosponsor of H. 505. “Theoretically,” said Wright, “it won’t favor Republicans because this is not a Republican town.” You’re kidding. “It’s a whole new day in Burlington politics, and we’ll just have to make the best of it,” continued Wright. In fact, Kwik Stop

Kurt suggested IRV might encourage more candidates to run for mayor, creating a Kentucky Derby-sized field. One positive effect of IRV, all sides concede, is that mayoral campaigns will tend to be less negative and nasty. That’s because each candidate will try to be picked as a second choice of their opponents’ supporters. Interesting. Jo LaMarche, Burlington’s director of elections and records, told Inside Track that implementation of IRV will be the topic at the next meeting of the city’s Charter Change Committee. The city’s voting machines will either have to be upgraded, or recounts will have to be done manually. So who will IRV benefit — Democrats, Progressives, Republicans or Independents? Time will tell, but it’s worth noting that if Burlington had been using an IRV system back in 1981, the father of the state’s Progressive movement would not have been elected mayor. Bernie Sanders, an Independent, defeated incumbent Democratic Mayor Gordie Paquette by just 10 votes, out of almost 10,000 cast. Sanders squeaked to victory with 40.1 percent. Third-place finisher Richard Bove, an anti-Paquette “Independent Democrat,” got about 1500 votes. Had an instant runoff been required, old-timers agree that the second preference of Bove’s supporters would not have been the loud-mouthed left-winger from Brooklyn. Statewide IRV? — Though he signed Burlington’s IRV charter-change bill, Republican Gov. Jim Douglas opposes IRV for statewide elections. According to Press Secretary Jason Gibbs, the Guv’s opposition is based in part on a legal opinion by Democratic Attorney General Bill Sorrell. Sorrell’s opinion is that a constitutional amendment, which itself requires voter approval, would be needed to institute IRV for the offices of governor, lieutenant governor and treasurer. He bases that on his interpretation of the Vermont Constitution. The election procedure for secretary of state and auditor, however, could be changed to IRV by legislation alone, according to Gen. Billy’s legal opinion. Of course, legal opinions are not perfect, as Sorrell demonstrated with an earlier opinion suggesting the granting of marriage rights to same-sex couple’s was unconstitutional. In fact, if you visit http://www.fairvote vermont.org, you’ll find a scholarly legal opinion that makes mincemeat of Sorrell’s opinion. The fact is, IRV has broad bipartisan support. Republican Sen. John McCain supports it; so does DNC Chair Howard Dean. There’s even an IRV bill in the legislature, but it remains tacked to the wall in the Senate Government Operations Committee. Committee Chairman Jim Condos told Inside Track that the committee has been busy this winter on other issues, but said, “We’ll take a crack at it next year.” The bill, S. 48, is sponsored by Condos and five others. It would institute IRV for all statewide races as well as for U.S. Senate and U.S. House. INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

Burlington Bites Into the Fluoride Question For the first time since 1952, Burlington is reexamining its longstanding policy of fluoridating the city’s water supply. On March 9, the Burlington Board of Health voted to initiate a public dialogue on fluoridation. The five-member advisory panel has scheduled public forums on June 15 and 23 to debate whether the chemical additive is a benefit or detriment to public health. The battle over fluoridation may sound like something out of an animated 1970s toothpaste commercial, pitting the “peace-loving citizens of Toothopolis� against the “Cavity Creeps.� But fluoridation opponents are armed with recent scientific evidence that they claim makes a compelling case for discontinuing the practice. Opposing them are experts with the Vermont Department of Health, who contend that fluoridation is still a safe, effective and inexpensive tool for reducing childhood tooth decay, especially among low-income families that don’t have access to routine dental care. For more than 50 years, water fluoridation has been a widely accepted — and largely uncontroversial — practice throughout much of the United

States. Currently, about 66 percent of the U.S. population receives fluoridated water in their homes, including 56 percent of Vermonters. Fluoridation has long been endorsed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the American Dental Association and to a lesser extent, the World Health Organization. It is commonly credited for the continued decline in tooth decay throughout the industrialized world. But while some anti-fluoride activists concede that there may be benefits to topical exposure via dental treatments and toothpastes, they strongly warn against ingesting it. A growing body of evidence, much of which is outlined in a newly published book entitled The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson, points to a list of ailments linked to fluoride consumption. Among them is dental fluorosis — the brown or white spotting of teeth — which, the Journal of Public Health Dentistry warns, can be caused by using fluoridated water to prepare baby formulas. Other studies, done in the United States and abroad, have shown links between fluoride consumption and increased risks of arthritis, osteoporosis, hyperthyroidism, neurotoxicity, decreased IQs in children, female infertility, and genetic damage. One study, conducted by the National Toxicology Program, a division of the National Institutes of

Health, found that fluoride causes bone cancer in rats. Another study, published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, revealed that fluoride interferes with the reproductive systems of animals. And fluoridation critics are buzzing about a new study, due out in the next couple of weeks, which purportedly links fluoride to increased rates of certain cancer in humans. Leading the anti-fluoridation charge in Vermont is Michael Connett, project director of the Burlington-based Fluoride Action Network. FAN, an international coalition of activists, scientists and concerned citizens, has waged a number of effective campaigns to convince municipalities to stop fluoridating their water. According to Connett, the preponderance of scientific evidence now shows “no significant difference� in rates of tooth decay between populations with fluoridated drinking water and those without it. He points out that about 98 percent of the public water systems in western Europe aren’t fluoridated — and rates of childhood tooth decay in those countries are no worse than in the United States. Moreover, he adds, the body of evidence now shows that the problems associated with fluoride ingestion outweigh purported benefits. “Whenever you raise these basic, important questions, instead of getting answers to specific questions, it usually comes down to, ‘The ADA supports it, the CDC supports it, the World Health Organization supports it,’� says Connett. “Well, can’t we answer these questions for ourselves?� Increasingly, the anti-fluoridation movement is challenging the prevailing opinion in the U.S. public health establishment. Since 1999, more than 70 communities nationwide have rejected fluoridation programs. In November 2000, Brattleboro residents ignored the recommendation of the state health department and voted not to fluoridate their water supply. Two years later, a dental-health committee in Bennington recommended ending the city’s fluoridation plan. In both cities, Connett says, many citizens felt it was better to err on the side of caution than to expose an entire population to the questionable compound. Burlington could become the next city to kick the fluoride habit. Some city councilors, including Cheryl McDonough (P–Ward 2), says it’s time for an open and honest debate on the issue. In 2003, she introduced a resolution asking the City Council to reexamine its fluoridation policy. That effort went nowhere. “As is quite typical, the science of 50 years said, ‘This is the way it is, this is what we have to do,’ and it was quickly brushed aside,� McDonough recalls. “But I think that many of the councilors, if I may speak for them, are willing to listen and are very open to the new information and science that’s out there.� McDonough emphasizes that she hasn’t made up her own mind yet, but has a number of concerns she’d like addressed. Ultimately, the City Council will decide the fluoridation question — first, with an appointment to the five-member Burlington Board of Health. Two members have already indicated that they’re inclined to recommend against the practice. Another, Debra Clemmer, is due to step down in early June. Her replacement, to be appointed by the City Council, will likely determine whether the board votes up or down on fluoridation. Repeated calls to the Vermont Department of Health for comment were unreturned as of press time. But the Burlington Board of Health’s decision to challenge a long-standing public-health policy is reportedly creating quite a stir there. “The Department of Health is like a beehive that’s been swatted with a broomstick,� Connett notes. “They’re buzzing and they’re really upset.� KEN PICARD

<localmatters> Middlebury Butts Out, Too Bars in Middlebury go smoke-free this Saturday, just as the Vermont Legislature takes final action on an even broader smoking ban. Local residents have expressed overwhelming support for the Middlebury measure. They voted 706-200 on Town Meeting Day in favor of a proposal to stub out smoking in bars open to the public. The six-member Select Board then unanimously enacted the ordinance. Because Middlebury is the first town outside the Burlington area to take such a step, its move has had an important influence on lawmakers’ attitudes, says Laura Parkinson, director of the Coalition for a TobaccoFree Vermont. “Initially,” she says, “a lot of legislators thought, ‘Oh, it’s just Chittenden County. Things are different there.’” Burlington, South Burlington, Williston and Winooski have all forbidden smoking in bars. Feeling the weight of public opinion, two of the four affected establishments in Middlebury didn’t wait for the May 21 deadline to impose their own smoking bans. The bars report no negative effects on business, with many patrons responding positively. Two Brothers Tavern on Main Street “has gained some new faces, while customers old and new now tend to stay longer than they used to,” says general manager Megan Brady. Mister Up’s on Bakery Lane has also come out ahead. “You’ll hear some smokers’ opinions — how it isn’t right to do this — but we get a lot more positive comments,” says general manager Vanessa Riena. Bar-going smokers will soon have no choice but to step outside if they want to light up. The Senate is expected to give its approval May 18 to a House-passed bill banning smoking in private clubs as well as in public bars throughout the state. Gov. James Douglas has indicated he will sign the measure, making Vermont the ninth state in the country to enact such a broad ban. The legislation ends exemptions contained in a 1993 Vermont law that prohibits smoking in restaurants but not in private clubs or in public bars that earn more than half their revenue from liquor sales. Opponents of the ban on smoking in private establishments argue that the state has no right to supercede rules set by members of private organizations such as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and groups such as the Masons and Elks. But supporters of the legislation say the state’s duty to protect workers’ health should take precedence. The Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Vermont estimates that a bartender working an eight-hour shift inhales the equivalent of 10 cigarettes in the form of second-hand smoke. About 820 Vermonters died last year from smoking-related diseases, the coalition adds. Two Brothers manager Brady says of her bar’s self-imposed smoking ban, “Our employees are thrilled. Even smokers really prefer working in a smoke-free atmosphere.” The Vermont campaign against smoking won’t come to an end following the legislature’s expected action this week. Next on the agenda, Parkinson says, is an effort to raise the state tax on cigarettes to $1.50 from its current level of $1.19, which would put the price of a pack well over $5. KEVIN J. KELLEY PHOTO: DONNA IVERSON

WAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Burlington paraeducators and their supporters took to the streets last week as part of an ongoing campaign to raise the wages of Burlington’s lowest paid civil servants. Although the city has an ordinance requiring that all municipal workers receive a livable wage — or enough money to cover a family’s basic needs such as food, housing, child care and taxes — the school department does not. In fact, none of Burlington’s paraeducators earns enough to live on. Fifty-five percent of the district’s 172 teaching assistants earn $9.25 per hour or less — about $9990 per year; the Vermont Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Office figures a livable wage in Burlington at $12.02 per hour. According to the Vermont Livable Wage Campaign, the pay raise would cost property owners another $3.25 per month, or about $40 per year. As of this writing, the School Board’s Finance Committee was expected to consider the matter at its May 17 meeting, and bring the issue to the full board in August.

Curses, Foiled Again Authorities in Lawrence, Massachusetts, charged a group of men who claimed they found a buried treasure worth as much as $125,000 with stealing the collection of old currency. Police became suspicious after the men made several appearances on national television and changed the details of their story each time. Police Chief Joseph E. Solomon told ABC’s Good Morning America that no one might ever have suspected anything if the men hadn’t sought publicity. “Sometimes,” he said, “wanting to be famous is really the downfall of people.” • Police in Mali reported that Mamadou Obotimbe Diabikile entered

Describing the nightly scene as something from “a science-fiction film,” nature protection society spokesperson Werner Smolnik said, “You see the animals crawling on the ground, swelling and then exploding,” propelling their entrails up to three feet in the air. Finally, veterinary surgeon Frank Mutschmann concluded that the toads had been

drugs. The men worked in daylight and in plain view of everyone who passed by the house on Main Street. According to Smith County Constable Dennis Taylor, no one questioned the men because everyone assumed the work was connected to the nearby construction of two large retail stores. The house actually belonged to a Dallas-based real-estate company, whose representative called Taylor to report her house stolen. Authorities recovered “about five trailer loads of property that came out of that house,” Taylor said. “Well, it didn’t come out of the house. It was the house.”

Pointing out that Woodard defecated in at least four residences, including those of two police officers, county prosecutor Joseph Bocchini said, “We’re certain it’s probably more from nerves than anything else because when he was taken into custody, he also defecated, and that was in his pants.” Bocchini added that police transported Woodard to headquarters “very carefully.”

already asked you this, but how did you become so accomplished at bridge? Have you been playing your whole life?” “Well, I don’t know how accomplished I am,” he replied with customary modesty. “I’m still learning. But, yes, to answer your question — I’ve been playing bridge since I was a teenager in Palestine. But I’ve only seriously applied myself to the game since retirement. When I was running my little business there was no time for such frivolity.” “Little business,” indeed. I’d had more than one discussion with Mr. Bakri about the export business he had founded in Beirut shortly after his family relocated there from Haifa during the war precipitated by the founding of Israel in 1948. His firm introduced frozen foods to the Arab world, distributing products such as South American lamb throughout the region. By the time he sold the company a decade ago, he had warehouses and operations on at least four continents. By any measure, it was a huge accomplishment for this softspoken man. The Bakris appeared to live a relatively modest lifestyle — well below their means, one would imagine — residing in a condo a stone’s throw from the Vermont National Country Club. The only extravagance, if you could call it that, I’d observed were the prepared meals regularly delivered to their home from an Arab restaurant in Montréal. Politics was a topic I hadn’t broached with this customer, but I was interested in hearing his perspective, given recent events in his erstwhile homeland. Normally, I avoid political discussions in the cab — or out of the cab, for that matter. Not that I’m indifferent; rather, I’m passionately concerned about the state of the world. But few people these days seem willing to engage in an open-minded dialogue about politics, resorting instead to well-worn ide-

ological pronouncements. My feeling is, if you’re not willing to be influenced by another — maybe even to modify your opinion — what’s to discuss? Mr. Bakri, however, seemed to me a person whose thoughtfulness, seasoned by uncommon integrity and clarity, had risen to the level of wisdom. As a middle-aged man still struggling to make sense of this world, I consider elders like Mr. Bakri to be jewels. So long as he was receptive, or at least not obviously resistant, I was going to do some mining. We approached the airport, passing the Hooters restaurant under construction, a soon-to-be edifying addition to Burlington’s cultural landscape. Like your average male needs any additional sexual stimulation in his life, breezed through my mind. “So, have you seen the news lately?” I asked. “It looks like Sharon might actually relinquish the Gaza lands to the Palestinians. Do you think there’s any reason for hope at this point?” Mr. Bakri emitted an audible sigh as he turned his head to face me. “Jernigan,” he said, “there is always hope. But it is up to both sides to renounce all violence and consider the next generation, and the generation after that.” He paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, reaching up to smooth one of his eyebrows with the middle finger of his right hand. “There is so much anger, so much hatred on both sides. And with good reason — that’s the tragic aspect.” Mr. Bakri had once told me, almost offhandedly, that prior to Israeli independence his father was the single-largest private landholder in all of Palestine, a man of enormous wealth and influence. The family’s expulsion from their homeland effectively killed his father. If anyone had justification for hatred, it was Mr. Bakri. “Yes, it’s true,” he continued, “my people — the Palestinian people — have been horribly mistreated for over 50 years. But the Jews, as well, have suffered terribly throughout all of their history, to say nothing of the Holocaust. So the only solution is for both people to stop it — stop the violence and the hatred, and work toward peace and mutual prosperity.” This was as passionate as I’d ever seen Mr. Bakri get. I felt a little guilty about disturbing his equanimity with my questioning. He then shook his head and quietly said, “That’s all I can say about this.” I didn’t know it at the time, but this was to be my last ride with Mr. Bakri. When a regular customer stops calling, often I’ll know the reason. Jernigan, guess what? I’m moving to Oakland in a couple of weeks. Something like that gives me the heads up. Sometimes, though, the calls just cease, and I’ll be left wondering: Did she finally get her driver’s license back? Or, perish the thought, Did he switch to another taxi company? Mr. Bakri hadn’t called for months, and I didn’t know the reason. But recently, just by chance, I drove one of his neighbors, who told me that he had passed away last fall. The world, I thought, has just lost a rare voice of reason. 쩾

MAPLE TREE PLACE, WILLISTON.

“

hank you veddy much,” said Mr. Bakri as I helped him into the front seat. It was the late summer of last year. This elderly customer of mine was impeccably mannered. In his dress, his speech, his every movement, he embodied the graciousness of an old-world gentleman. In his case, the old world was post–World War II Beirut. Prior to Lebanon’s mid-’80s political breakdown and ensuing chaos, Beirut enjoyed a few precious decades of peace, prosperity and cultural flowering, earning the nickname “The Paris of the Mideast.” “Is there a tournament tonight?” I asked as we got underway. “No, Jernigan, just the regular weekly match play.” For the better part of a year, I had been driving Mr. Bakri to his weekly games at the Burlington Bridge Club on Gregory Drive, just before the Williston town line. Because of his humility, I had only recently discovered — from his adoring wife who occasionally accompanied him — that he was the top bridge player in the state. “Mr. Bakri,” I said, “forgive me if I

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, I keep hearing about the Armenian genocide that happened early in the 20th century. The Turkish have done a good job of denial, and there doesn’t seem to be that much public recognition of the deed. So, what’s the real scoop — genocide or not? monkeykarma, via email It tells you something about human nature and the century just past that the typical response to this question is: What Armenian genocide? Hardly anyone remembers this appalling crime, even though at a million-plus deaths it was the first modern holocaust, ranking eighth on the list of high-volume butcherings 1900-’87 compiled by genocide historian R. J. Rummel. Few can even tell you where Armenia is. (The traditional Armenian homeland covers the modern republic of Armenia plus some of Turkey, Iran and Iraq, but the killings were confined to Turkey and other parts of the old Ottoman empire.) It’s not like the murders were conducted in secret or were over before anybody noticed — on the contrary, they spanned 30 years and received sustained worldwide publicity. So why the amnesia? Turkey’s adamant refusal to acknowledge the massacres is part of it, but equally important is the West’s agreement to forget. The story of the Armenian extermination has filled books and resists easy summary. Suffice it to say that successive Ottoman and Turkish governments using the machinery of state organized a campaign of ethnic cleansing in which hundreds of thousands of Armenian men, women and children were shot, beheaded, burned alive or otherwise done away with. Thousands more succumbed to starvation or disease, and still more were driven into exile. What had the Armenians done to deserve all this? Not much — their main offense was to be a Christian minority in a crumbling Islamic empire. Like another much-persecuted Middle Eastern ethnic group whose sufferings are better known, the Armenians had an ancient language and culture plus a reputation for clannishness and a knack for finance, and they became the target of a similar type of unreasoning bigotry.

After years of low-level harassment by the Ottoman regime, the first large-scale killings took place from 1894 through 1896, when by conservative estimate 200,000 Armenians died, half murdered by Ottoman forces and the balance dying in the subsequent chaos. The “starving Armenians” became a cause célèbre among European and U.S. humanitarians. (Sixty years later your columnist’s guilt-tripping great-aunts were still admonishing their young relations to eat their veggies because the starving Armenians didn’t have any.) To no avail — the British government found the Ottomans a useful ally against the Russians and refused to impose sanctions. When a 1908 revolt by the Young Turks, secular modernizers with a support base in the Turkish army, forced the Ottoman sultan to cede power to a constitutional government, the Armenians thought they might get a break, but the new nationalist leaders proved no more tolerant than the old religious ones. A massacre of 15,000 to 25,000 Armenians in 1909 set the table for the main event during World War I. Blaming the supposedly disloyal Christian minority for an early defeat by the Russians, the Turkish government starting in 1915 rounded up Armenians throughout the country, murdered vast numbers outright and deported the rest, with many dying on forced marches or in refugee camps. The brutal work was carried out by an elaborate bureaucracy that some historians consider a model for the extermination program of the Nazis. Add in a couple of additional massacres in the early 1920s and the Armenian death toll for 1915-1922 totals a million to a million and a half. For a time after the war it seemed that the surviving Armenians would get a homeland protected by an American mandate, but resurgent U.S. isolationism doomed the effort. (Russian Armenia wound up as a Maryland-sized republic in the Soviet Union; it’s now the site of presentday Armenia.) Attempts to try the Ottoman officials responsible for atrocities came to little. In the 1923 Lausanne treaty, the Western powers abandoned the Armenians in return for commercial guarantees from Turkey, where the no-longer-so-young Turks under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk had consolidated their power. Though Congress never ratified the treaty, the U.S. made its peace with the Kemal government, and Turkey has been a reliable ally in a volatile part of the world ever since. For that reason the U.S. has remained largely silent in the face of Turkish insistence that the Armenian genocide is a myth, was the Armenians’ fault, etc. (One difficulty in researching this topic now is that much of what’s written about it is the work of Armenian or Turkish partisans and so of uncertain reliability. For this column I’ve relied on The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America’s Response by Peter Balakian, a persuasive 2003 account by an Armenian-American university professor.) One understands the political realities; still, it’s creepy that a million deaths could be expunged from human memory so thoroughly that 90 years later barely anyone would know.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

an income from making art. “I couldn’t do that now,” he points out. “When I started, only a few people on the East Coast were doing art from found objects. Now that’s really exploded. It’s partly my fault.” The downside, he suggests, is that found objects are, well, getting harder to find — though that may be good news for America’s landfills. Meanwhile, the cost of new steel has risen dramatically. Another challenge: the inevitable competition in the marketplace, including from cheaper production-line items made, ironically, to resemble recycled constructions. Not the first time commerce imitated art. But there’s no substitution for Heise’s design skills, imagination and whimsy — not to be confused with “cute,” which his works are not. Plus, Heise employs an economy of line that Picasso might envy. “With two or three pieces, he can come up with something that to us conveys so much personality, humor and character,” says Karen Farber, a Westfordbased marketing consultant. She and her husband Don own about a dozen Heise sculptures, she says, and have purchased at least twice that many more as gifts. “They’re like little friends,” Farber says of the figures —

inevitable, and intentional, rust. But the works are hardly flimsy. “This stuff is virtually indestructible,” Heise says, “and if it does break, everything can be fixed.” Like most artists, this one draws inspiration from the natural world, but some of his works imagine the mythological or supernatural — such as those he completed for a commission last year. Dan Cox, owner of Burlington’s Coffee Enterprises, asked Heise to make five gigantic masks. More than six feet tall, the works are now hanging from — or, more accurately, wrapped around — some white pine trees on the grounds of Cox’s Shelburne home. “We went to a noetic sciences conference and Dan got inspired somehow, something about Easter Island,” says his wife, artist Casey Blanchard. “Guardian spirits, I think that’s what he had in mind . . . We had to get one of those cherrypicker things to put them up.” That was a large job for Heise, who says he now doesn’t like to make anything he can’t carry — or that won’t fit in the back of his ancient Toyota pickup. He’s scaling back in other ways, too. Though his work is still carried at galleries around the country, and he and wife/business

Heise’s latest design is a birdbath that straddles fantasy and function: A round disc of steel forms a sturdy base; the multi-leaved stem was inspired by tropical plants; and the shallow basin comes with a large-plumed, long-legged bird attached.

hat do horses, fish and birds have in common with Don Quixote? No, it’s not a riddle. But it’s a trick question, because unless you were standing in the Burlington studio of sculptor Bill Heise, you’d never guess the answer: metal. More to the point, pieces of steel and iron that served other functions before their new incarnations as art. Heise’s metal menagerie — which also includes roosters and “Vermont bullcows” — shares space in his cluttered workspace with a series of masklike, Southwest-inspired “spirit-keepers” and a 7-foot-tall version of Cervantes’ hapless hero. Most of the works are freestanding; some are designed to hang. Then there are the relatively practical, if quirky, constructions such as candleholders and squat cocktail tables. Heise’s latest design, conceived while wintering at the home he built in Honduras, is a birdbath that straddles fantasy and function: A round disc of steel forms a sturdy base; the multi-leaved stem was inspired by tropical plants; and the shallow basin comes with a large-plumed, longlegged bird attached. Whether this

creature will attract or frighten New England’s native avian species remains to be seen. But the human appeal of these sculptures is evident — Burlington’s Frog Hollow gallery is featuring them in its front window next month, just in time for gardening season. The Vermont State Craft Center at Frog Hollow has carried Heise’s work for, he guesses, some 30 years. His graceful birds — cranes, egrets, herons, sandpipers — are still popular, according to Burlington gallery assistant Hannah Haupt. So are the Vermont bulls and Heise’s most minimal creation: a bicycle and rider in simple outline, about a foot long. “We see those fly out the door,” Haupt says. Also standing sentinel at the gallery is another Don Quixote. Some of the sculptures in Heise’s studio are decades old — pieces he can’t bear to part with. Now 63, he began crafting critters from junkyard detritus long before the use of recycled materials became trendy. In fact, back in 1966, he was one of the trendsetters. Heise is grateful for his timing: He supported three kids on

mostly animals — that populate her home, indoors and out. These include five fish, a camel, a stork, a pair of roosters, an archer and a galloping horse. Farber’s favorite, though, is still her first Heise purchase: three elephants that “appear to be walking in a line,” she explains. “They’re standing on a blade from a very big saw that would have been used to cut down something large, like a tree.” The work is a subtle statement “about vanishing wilderness,” Farber believes. The sculptor himself makes no claims about eco-politics. If turning the stuff of human industry into representations of less wasteful creatures conveys a message, he doesn’t talk about that, either. Perhaps his re-use aesthetic speaks for itself; perhaps he just likes animals. Either way, his concerns are about making art. In fact, Heise is more artist than artisan. “I’m not a good craftsman,” he claims. “I’m too impatient to go onto the next thing.” And he’s not a big fan of equipment; his primary tools are his hands and an arc welder: “It’s an old one I bought from a farmer,” he says. “I can work more spontaneously with it; I can be superaggressive.” The resulting roughhewn seams contribute to the sculptures’ spontaneous feel. So does the

manager Carol attend 10 or so craft shows a year, Heise says sales have slowed since his heyday. At one time he had five production assistants; now he’s content to work alone. He’s rented a slice of his studio to another metal sculptor, and is moving into the apartment upstairs to cut costs. But being close to the shop is just fine by him. “This is all I’ve done for 40 years; I’ve never had to wash dishes or anything,” Heise says. “I could stop now and sit on my porch and drink rum, but I’d rather do the art — it’s more fun.” m

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

Space Case

B NAME JOB LOCATION IMAGE Jordan Silverman

uying furniture is like getting a new wardrobe, or a new car — you’re not just making a purchase, you’re making a statement. But even the finest pieces can proclaim your cluelessness if you don’t know how to arrange them. Shoppers at Town & Country in South Burlington can ask design doyenne Maria Graffeo to share her suggestions. The soft-spoken sixtysomething Burlington resident has been helping customers of the family-owned business reMaria Graffeo Director of Interior Design Studio, imagine their rooms for 25 years. Graffeo, a New York native, got a Town & Country Furniture Shop B.A. in Biology and Chemistry from St. South Burlington Joseph’s, then studied art at Brooklyn College, and interior design at the New York School of Interior Design. In addition to helping Town & Country customers, she also arranges the contents of the store. Walking through it, you feel almost as if you’re moving from room to room in a real house, an illusion that’s heightened by the ubiquitous presence of fake food.

SEVEN DAYS: It seems like you’re not just selling furniture here, you’re selling lifestyles. MARIA GRAFFEO: Exactly. That’s why I set the store up as closely as possible to what can be envisioned in a home, just to give a flavor, an atmosphere that’s possible. It’s not exactly what you would do in your home, but it feels a little bit more homey, so you can relate to it. SD: Which would explain the realistic-looking upturned ice cream dish on this coffee table. MG: Right. Well, that also grabs people’s attention. You can’t imagine how many times people really think it is a spill. They’ll come over and say, “We didn’t do it, but there’s something spilled on the table.” Or on the carpet. It’s fun. Then you can talk about that. Or have a lighter kind of atmosphere. And we do some avant-garde things, too. A lot of people comment on the room we have with paper-bag paper on the walls. SD: Paper bags? MG: Let me show you. This room is like a cabin. We have paper bags on the walls. This paper has been up for

many years, actually. The room is not big, but you have a bed in here, you have seating. SD: The music is different, too. It’s like a New-Agey flute music, and there’s the sound of rushing water, coming from this little water sculpture. What does this room say? MG: Cozy. Unstructured. Lived-in. There are lots of variations in color. You don’t have to have House and Garden color variations, where you have one main color and maybe two others and no more. Lots of variation in pattern adds interest, makes it feel a lot more creative. Gives you license to do a lot of what you really want to do without saying, “What will other people think?” You can make it your own space. SD: These books over here — Trials of the Resistance? Apartment in Athens? MG: You know what? — the books are not chosen by title. SD: How do you pick them? MG: We go to Recycle North, we buy a box of books, that kind of thing. I think books add warmth to

rooms, but I don’t look at the titles. I scatter them about. I sometimes choose them according to color. Some people do look at the titles. A husband and wife will come in, and the husband’s not interested at all into looking at furniture. So the wife is walking around with me, and the husband finds a chair. And he takes a book, and he starts reading it, and he makes a joke about it — he’s only on page something or other, can he take the book with him? And we let him. SD: How do you choose where to put the furniture in the store? MG: The furniture’s not chosen beforehand to go in any specific place. When I come in in the morning, I go back to the warehouse area. I never know what’s coming in, when it’s coming in, but it has to go out. We sell a lot off the floor, so it’s always changing. If a sofa sells off the floor, I have to put something else in its place. That’s the fun part, actually, the spontaneity of it. I love working with people, but the fun part is the challenge of putting the furniture out so that it still forms an integrated transition from one space to another. I particularly have fun with having an imaginary person move into a room. SD: How do you mean? MG: Well, if I do a space, I’m thinking what kind of person might be there, might be happy in there. SD: What kind of person might be happy in this next bedroom here, with the brass elephant trophy head, the grandfather clock and the spilled red wine? MG: Kind of a traditional person, a person who likes things simple, but quality. Might have a hobby, like riding. It’s not particularly formal, but a quality look.

SD: What do the large ceramic penguins say about the space? MG: Nothing. They’ve been here forever. Mr. Lash — the original owner of the store — loved penguins, and they just are here. But they aren’t my favorite. We still have some of his things here. I kept the piece of paper in this old typewriter — those are his words, and his handwriting. And these are his old glasses. He’s sort of always here. SD: How do you help people design a room that’s right for them? MG: Sometimes they come in asking for an interior designer to help them — they have a house under construction. So I do floor plans for them . . . If you start without doing a floor plan, it’s very difficult. Because a lot of things come out of the floor plan — it’s not just where the furniture goes. The balance of color, scale — all of that comes out of floor plans. So if you don’t do that, you’re really skipping an important step. And a lot of people don’t want to get into the floor-plan thing. They think, “I know the room. I know a sofa goes there, a chair can fit there.” That doesn’t always give you the best possible room. SD: That’s a much different service than when someone comes in here and says, “I want a couch.” MG: Very different. There are people who feel very confident in what they choose and need. And those are the people who want to come in and not have anybody help them. You get a sense right off that they really want to do this on their own. And you let them walk through. They’ll have questions, possibly, and you’ll answer the question. But in that case, you’re just a salesperson. m

Rainville Speaks! — Last week, we mentioned what turned out to be an incorrect report in the Rutland Herald regarding Gen. Martha Rainville. The Herald incorrectly reported Republican Rainville had suggested she could continue to serve as adjutant general while running for Congress, and also while serving in Congress. Not true. In an interview conducted after her National Guard workday on Friday, the General told yours truly that she would have to resign if elected to the U.S. House. The Herald reporter misunderstood. So, why did Marvelous Martha choose the Republican Party over the Democrat Party? “I’m very moderate in my views,� replied Rainville. “As I’ve said, I fit well with Republicans like Jim Douglas. I think that I can best serve Vermont that way . . . There’s not one particular thing I can say as the reason I feel I’m a Republican. It’s a matter of fitting in with the people I respect in that particular party.� We asked Rainville if she voted for George W. Bush in the last presidential election? “Well,� she answered, “I will wait to get into any more political answers until I actually make a decision to run for office and become a candidate.� Don’t you think if the correct answer was “Bush,� she would have said so? Next we asked if she might elaborate on just what a “Jim Douglas-style� Republican is? “To me,� answered Martha, “Jim Douglas cares about the environment. I care very much about the environment. He also cares about building jobs and opportunities for Vermonters, and I agree with that.� OK, moving right along. Is Generalissima Rainville pro-life or pro-choice? “If I run for office,� answered Rainville, “then at that time I’ll talk about my stand on the issues.� Cagey, eh? Though press reports have indicated Marvelous Martha is considering a U.S. House race, she told us she still hasn’t made a final decision on what to run for.

A race for the U.S. Senate hasn’t been ruled out, though wellheeled IDX businessman Ritchie Tarrant has said he’s pointed toward grabbing the GOP Senate nomination. “Both seats appear to be open with Congressman Sanders looking at the Senate,� said Rainville. “I haven’t made that final decision yet. I think serving in either seat would be a rare honor for anybody.� Rainville confirmed she has met with Mr. Tarrant. When we suggested Jump Shot might have told her she was “talented and beautiful, but there was no way he would stay out of the race,� Rainville chuckled. “I will just say that our conversation was private, and I think we had a good talk and got to know each other a little bit. But what he does is his decision and what I do is strictly my decision.� Meanwhile, GOP Lite Gov Brian Dubie appears checkmated on a move up in 2006. Unless, of course, the Doobster thinks his charm and wit can beat Tarrant’s money and consultants? Tarrant File — Gen. Rainville isn’t the only potential GOP rival who’s been talking to IDX whiz Ritchie Tarrant. Last Thursday Tarrant, the former St. Mike’s basketball player, and Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, the former Essex wrestler, had a powwow at Libby’s Blue Line Diner in Colchester. Thanks go out to the eyewitnesses who called to tell us about it. In an email exchange this week, Tarrant confirmed both the Rainville and Dubie meetings. “Obviously, the purpose of these types of meetings,� wrote Tarrant, “is to sound each other out. So I cannot say, nor do I know, what Brian or Martha will do, other than what the media has been attributing to Martha, namely the House race.� Meanwhile, due to an apparent email snafu, Inside Track has learned that Mr. Tarrant is getting political advice from David Carney, a controversial New Hampshire-based GOP operative. Carney, who runs Norway Hill Associates in Hancock, won unwelcome notoriety during the 2004 presidential race for his effort to get fellow Republican voters to sign Ralph Nader’s nominating petition. We asked Jump Shot about his position on the so-called “nuclear option,� backed by Senate Republicans, that would put an end to the use of filibusters to block a president’s judicial appointments. Tarrant surprised us by not singing out of the Republican hymnal. “I think it would be a mistake to lob the nuke in at this point,� wrote Ritchie. “I believe the filibuster has too much history to push it aside in this manner. Rather, the Senate should appoint a bipartisan committee to study the origins, intent, purpose, etc. of the filibuster phenomenon to once and for all determine its usefulness or lack thereof in advancing the democratic process. Any other route will divide this country even further on this issue, which is the last thing we need right now.� Quite a thoughtful, moderate, nonpartisan answer, eh?

A couple hours later, however, a most unexpected email arrived. It was from “David” at Norway Hill Associates and addressed to both Tarrant and yours truly. Apparently Jump Shot had emailed yours truly’s question and his response to the New Hampshire political consultant. So what did the consultant think? Well, Carney wrote that Tarrant’s suggestion of forming a bipartisan committee to study the problem “sounds incredible (sic) weak. Almost naive. But it’s better than the nuke option. We may want to outline a fuller answer that outlines the second step after the committee fails.” Yes, indeed, a glimpse behind the curtain. Tarrant later confirmed he is considering hiring Carney as a campaign consultant, though he disagrees with Carney’s assessment on this one. Ritchie also predicted he will “frustrate advisors on a regular basis because I will refuse to be handled.” Let’s hope so. Dean Sighting — Except for at the airport, Howard Dean sightings in Vermont have been infrequent lately. But the chairman of the Democratic National Committee still lives in Burlington, and Saturday provided a rare glimpse of him. Ho-Ho and his lovely wife, Judith Steinberg, MD (formerly “Judy Dean” for presidential campaign purposes), were among the few users of the Burlington Bikepath on a gray and overcast Saturday afternoon. The dynamic duo were enjoying a brisk walk together. A bit more white in Ho-Ho’s hair than at our last encounter. Judy was dressed casually, but Ho-Ho still had on his work duds. Just a couple hours earlier he had brought the Massachusetts Democratic Party in Lowell to its feet with the suggestion that House GOP Leader Tom DeLay “ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his sentence.” That crack, however, brought a swift rebuke from Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), who told the Boston Globe, “I think Howard Dean was out of line talking about Tom DeLay. The man has not been indicted.” Yet.

icture a cyber geek, and a bespectacled teen or college-aged male is likely to come to mind. But girls can be geeks, too — and Montréal’s HTMlles Festival is doing all it can to help. The seventh edition of the cyberart fest, May 18-21, presents works by women involving digital technologies. The fest’s title is a play on words that combines HTML, the language of the Web, with elle, the French pronoun for “she.” This year’s theme, “Peripheries and Proximities,” is intended to suggest the effects of technology on social relations and lifestyles. HTMlles is an initiative of Studio XX, a feminist art center in Montréal founded in 1996. At that time, “new technologies were making their rise into the minds and onto the desktops of everybody,” says festival co-director Karen Wong. “But there is very much a stereotypical idea that boys are more comfortable with machines and girls aren’t.”

Constant will interview participants in a Montréal workshop to collect more data for their project. Media artist Michelle Teran offers “Life: A User’s Manual,” in which she acts as an urban Pied Piper, complete with wireless scanners and TV monitors placed in a grocery shopping cart. In past performances of the work, held in Brussels, Utrecht and Berlin, Teran traipsed about town on a nomadic journey as curious onlookers joined the entourage, or just watched the TVs. “Life: A User’s Manual” explores notions of communications, surveillance and social ritual. In Montréal, Teran will begin her live excursion on Friday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. from Monument-National. Also on the HTMlles bill, Québec artist Caroline Martel presents The Phantom of the Operator. Her first fulllength film is part sci-fi feature and part documentary composed of vintage industrial films. Shown in atmospheric black

LEFT TO RIGHT: IMMANENCE, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERATOR, FRONT V3.0

The first HTMlles Festival was held a year after Studio XX opened, inspired by “the realization that even though all of this new technology was there and was available, it was not available in the same way to men and to women,” according to Wong. The current festival marks the first edition of HTMlles as an international bienniale. It features artists from 10 different countries, with women at the helm of some 30 performances, Web projects, conferences, interactive installations, workshops and concerts. “There’s a range of styles and aesthetics,” Wong notes. “It’s quite fun.” Constant, a Belgian group of cyber artists, explore “culture, work and the culture of work” with “Cuisine interne keuken.” The project is based on 17 questions about personality, history and one’s relation to work, Wong explains. “When they put it all together in the database, you get this very beautiful overall impression of how women work, earn their money and live their lives in different spaces in the world. Cultural aspects, like language and political issues, come out.”

and white, the film looks at telephone operators from a bygone era. “Not just ‘voices with a smile’, they were shooting stars in a universe of infinite progress,” a press release says of them. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2004 and won the Best Experimental Film prize at the Brooklyn Underground Film Festival this year. The HTMlles screening is its Québec debut. The international trio Millefiore Effect presents “Front v3.0,” an over-the-top project that garnered boisterous laughs at a recent sneak peek. The premise is simple: What if humans could wear a garment that would respond to the wearer’s emotions? Inspired by animals that increase their size when threatened, Millefiore’s answer is a wearable suit with inflatable airbags. In “Front v3.0,” we’re told that animals, unlike humans, will only fight within their species to gain dominance, never to kill. During a ceremonial combat, the performers’ voices growl in alarm, causing their offensive and defensive airbag com-

the sciences, engineering and computer science as well.” Most of the events for HTMlles take place at Monument-National on St-Laurent. Wong notes that the building has an unintended bonus. “We found out it was the first space where the Québec feminist movement had its roots.” Other venues for the festival include La Gallerie Centrale and CDEACF (Centre de documentation sur l’éducation des adultes et la condition feminine), which offer their own share of feminist history. By using these spaces, HTMlles aims to map sites specific to women’s history and cultural practice. And, perhaps more importantly, Wong says the festival will “speak about and present what women are doing now, today, with technology.” 쩾

An old-school roofer keeps Vermonters covered

B

ob Volk nimbly climbs down from a preposterously steep roof near the University of Vermont in Burlington. The house he’s working on is more than 100 years old but still has its original slate roof — or a large portion of it, anyway. STORY That’s one of the advantages of having KEN a roof made of stone slabs: When a section PICARD chips or starts to leak, it can be swapped out with new or salvaged slate. In the end, IMAGES MATTHEW the entire roof is as good as new. Assuming, that is, you can find someTHORSEN one to do the job. These days, it’s easier said than done. Slate roofing is a dying art. Fewer tradespeople are learning it. And since the cost of a slate roof can run two to three times more than a conventional one, fewer homeowners are installing new slate roofs, or preserving ones already in place.

able throughout New England. The slates’ styles and colors often reflect the places they were quarried: Vermont Sea Green, Pennsylvania Black and Peach Bottom Georgian. New York Red is a rare, highquality slate that isn’t quarried much anymore but can be worth thousands of dollars in the salvage market. Slate roofs were often laid out in intricate patterns to look like flower petals or undulating waves. And, if you look closely at some examples in Vermont, you might notice an odd-colored slate that’s been cut into the shape of a heart — Volk’s own stone signature. Volk, 42, has been slating roofs for 24 years, and has had his own business — Valley Roofing in Waltham — since 1986. Years ago, he answered an ad in a newspaper to apprentice with a New

Slate is waterproof, fireproof, highly resistant to wind, and incredibly durable to the elements. Depending upon conditions, a slate roof can sometimes last more than 200 years. In one respect, that’s not surprising. In an era when most homeowners think in terms of a 30-year mortgage — and the majority of them sell their homes before paying it off — the idea of investing in a roof that can outlive its owners, their children and grandchildren is foreign. Simply put, most of us don’t plan that far into the future. Volk believes that’s a shame. Many of Vermont’s historic buildings have gorgeous slate roofs, largely because the material was once inexpensive and readily avail-

Jersey slate roofer named Lutz Rhinelander, an old-school German slater who spoke virtually no English. He taught Volk almost everything he knows. By its very nature, slate roofing is custom work. Each stone is cut by hand. To demonstrate, Volk pulls a slate hammer from his tool belt. It looks like a cross between a carpenter’s hammer and an ice climber’s axe, with a blade cut in the elbow notch. You might assume that slate >> 26A

would be incredibly fragile and shatter with one tap of the hammer. Not so. Using quick, chopping motions, Volk deftly carves the friable stone into a curved pattern. “Working with slate comes so natural to me,” he says, hammering out a heart-shaped tile in less than a minute. “I don’t know why, but I can’t teach anybody else. They just don’t seem to catch on.” Though Volk occasionally purchases newly quarried slate for a repair job like this one, more typically he finds highquality salvaged slate to match the color and size of an existing roof. He affixes the slate — which must be carried up the ladder one by one or in small stacks — using an awl-like tool to punch small holes in the top third of each piece. Then he delicately nails them down so the holes of one slate are covered by the piece above it. Volk is meticulous about alignment. After eyeballing the roof from the ground, he may scurry up and down the ladder several times to get the positioning just right.

Volk says he’s often surprised by how little many homeowners know about their own slate roofs. Slate is waterproof, fireproof, highly resistant to wind, and incredibly durable to the elements, even after a century or more of harsh Vermont winters. A high-quality slate roof generally looks smooth and shiny, but even soft, chipped or crumbling slate roofs are often worth preserving. And depending upon the type of slate and environmental conditions in the area — pollution can obscure the slate’s original color — a slate roof can sometimes last more than 200 years. “I think what’s interesting is that they haven’t been able to match it yet,” Volk says. “They have so many different products out, like fake slate and so on, but nothing beats it. No way.” Nevertheless, slate roofs throughout the United States have been disappearing by the thousands for decades, largely because their owners either don’t know their true value or can’t find roofers who know how to repair them properly.

Volk says he gets phone calls all the time from homeowners who ask him to pull up their slate roofs and replace them with metal or shingles. Most of the time, he says, he can convince them that it’s more cost-effective to save the slate and simply replace the broken sections. In fact, the biggest threat to slate roofs is the owners themselves. Typically, the slates are damaged when people rest a ladder against them or try to walk across them without knowing where to step. Volk doesn’t believe in running down his competition, but admits that he’s also come across plenty of shoddy slate work in Vermont — often done by roofers who haphazardly nailed through the stone, didn’t lay them squarely, or tried to patch leaks using caulk or tar. “It’s a shame, really,” he says, shaking his head. “For me, I take a lot of pride, and it makes me happy, to actually help people out and do it right.” Not surprisingly, Volk hasn’t had to advertise for years. Whenever he’s working on a

job, folks will often notice his truck with its “SLAYT� license plate, or else spot him walking gingerly across a roofline, and solicit his services. And since there aren’t many other slaters out there to choose from, Volk has his slate work cut out for him. In addition to residential work, he routinely does slate repair and maintenance on more than a dozen old churches from Burlington to Middlebury. He has no plans to retire — yet. But when he does, his

worker who was footing his ladder walked away suddenly, sending Volk and another roofer tumbling to the ground. Volk only injured his leg. He was luckier than his co-worker, who broke both arms. “I learned real quick, the hard way,â€? he adds. And then there are the bats. “Bats love slate roofs, and I can’t stand bats,â€? Volk says. “They fly right into my face. And that chirping and smell‌â€? The fact that most bats are harmless and eat lots of insects

After eyeballing the roof from the ground, Volk may scurry up and down the ladder several times to get the positioning just right. business isn’t likely to outlast him; he and his wife have two children, neither of whom is remotely interested in taking over. While he wishes he had a natural talent for something else — Volk was once an aspiring actor, and even played an extra in the Michelle Pfeiffer movie, What Lies Beneath — he’s happily resigned to roofing. It’s neither easy nor glamorous work. In addition to the obvious pitfalls of working year round, oftentimes on slippery and steeply pitched rooftops, slate isn’t the most comfortable material to handle. In the winter, the stone gets bitterly cold; in the summer, a slate roof with a southerly exposure can leave Volk with a third-degree burn if he’s not careful. And, like many people who work on their hands and knees, he has his share of neck and back pains. Volk claims he’s only fallen off a roof once in 24 years — and that was during his first week as an apprentice. “I know everyone says, ‘It wasn’t my fault,’ but this really wasn’t my fault,� he recalls. A fellow

doesn’t seem to impress him. The work isn’t all bad. Volk enjoys being outside most of the year and his job sites provide views of Vermont’s towns and cities that most of us never see. From the rooftop of the Unitarian Church in Burlington, for instance, Volk says he can see the entire town of Winooski. Volk has worked on a number of historic sites with breathtaking vistas — like the castle on top of Paleface Mountain in the Adirondacks, which was built by the owner of FAO Schwarz. Needless to say, working at those elevations doesn’t bother the steady slater one bit. “Oh, it’s awesome. It’s really awesome,� he says. “You really see all the beauty and what’s important in life.� Other rewards turn up occasionally. Once, while repairing the soffits of an old house, he discovered a stash of letters with 1-cent postage stamps on them. The letters dated back to the 1840s. It was a valuable find, at least from a historical perspective. “No gold yet,� he says. “When I find that, I might stop roofing for a bit.� m

ot Lips.” “Indiscreet.” “Child Bride.” “Exotic Candy.” No, they’re not porn stars — although there are certain anatomical similarities. These budding beauties are among the 800 varieties of Hemerocallis at Vermont Daylilies in Greensboro. In the full bloom of summer, the company’s 12page “catalogue,” which is really more like a spreadsheet, is illustrated by a serpentine “display garden” of ruffled pink, deep mahogany, burnt sienna, creamy yellow and pale peach. Stuck with the image of the archetypal orange daylily? So are some customers. That’s why Vermont Daylilies owners John and Kathy Hunt also carry the fast-spreading variety that grows wild all over the state. More often, though, people will come and say, ‘I never thought daylilies could be like this,’ ” Kathy comments. “‘I always thought of those awful orange ones.’” Here the fleshy pink “Barbara Mitchell” defers to the deep purple “Bela Lugosi,” which is upstaged by “Best Beau” in mauve with burgundy veins and a wide green throat. “They’re creating daylilies that look nothing like they did 40 or 50 years ago,” John says of the hybridizers, a.k.a. “pollen dabbers,” who have expanded the number of available daylily varieties to somewhere around 50,000. “Now they’re doing ruffles,

golden edges and different-colored eye zones.” With their shredded petals, the “spiders” look like fireworks. The rose-like “doubles” feature petals with more than the standard six segments. “We have one that is so small — the “Penny’s Worth” — it looks like little blades of grass,” Kathy adds. The flower is an inch and a quarter in diameter.

Manners,” are 21st-century inventions. To some degree, the price per plant depends on how recently it was introduced. “Some people won’t blink at spending $75 on a daylily, but that’s not our market,” Kathy says, noting that most of the varieties at Vermont Daylilies sell for between $7 and $15 a pot. Last year’s priciest plant was “Ida’s Magic,” an amberpeach flower etched in gold, at $35.

says, noting the most-favored flowers have become more and more elaborate. Picking the perfect bloom is a little like shopping for wine — there’s a lot to consider, including personal taste, price and compatibility with the “entrée,” which in this case may be other flowers or the color of a house. But unlike a bottle of wine, the daylily keeps on giving. While its strong-scented “Asiatic lily” relative

Here the fleshy pink “Barbara Mitchell” defers to the deep purple “Bela Lugosi,” which is upstaged by “Best Beau” in mauve with burgundy veins and a wide green throat. “Walking through the garden, people get grabbed by a flower,” she says.

The “Moonlight” dates back to 1937. Others, like “Gentle

Four days before the company’s “soft opening,” Kathy and John are watching two employees work the moist, dark earth behind the Lakeview Inn. They’re separating new growth from the mother plants and labeling and potting the saleable offspring in containers fortified with homemade compost. The Hunts used to own all of this land; in 1996, they bought and renovated the Lakeview Inn, then a derelict building. John did most of the fix-up work himself and, two years later, decided he wanted a side business to complement the innkeeping. Instead of starting from scratch, he and Kathy decided to buy an existing nursery. “Dave and Andrea Perham had been running Vermont Daylilies for 10 years on Barr Hill,” John explains, pointing to a patchwork rise of mauve forest and light-green farmland in the distance. Lewis and Nancy Hill operated it for the decade prior. With a mini-excavator and a farmer friend, John moved all the plants to the current location. He dug up and relocated 1500 clumps of daylilies in 12 hours. “We didn’t lose a single one,” John reports, noting the plants can live up to three weeks out of the soil. But roots only go so deep. Last year, the Hunts sold the Lakeview Inn to a California couple and entered into a leasing arrangement that allowed them to continue operating on the property. It seemed like a win-win situation. The gardens are a natural extension of the inn — and a perfect spot for weddings. The shared driveway sealed the deal. But the couples didn’t get along; even in the heat of summer, guests could feel the chill between them. The Hunts considered moving to a new location, but now they say the inn is rumored to be for sale again. What goes around comes around, you might say. Daylilies, in particular, demonstrate that phenomenon. True to its name, the individual flower lasts

only a day — which tends to keep daylilies out of cut-flower arrangements — but a single clump may keep blooming for two to three weeks. Some “rebloomers” rest and flower again. “Every day you get up and deadhead the ones that had their day, so the next one will have its opportunity,” Kathy says. She describes the process as “meditative,” but, looking around, she adds, “Of course, with so many daylilies, it gets really frustrating.” For all the dead foliage, and last year’s signage, it’s hard to believe that in six weeks this winter-worn landscape will be exploding in fabulous flora. Different varieties take turns blooming — and many gardeners go to great lengths to choreograph the flowering spectacle in their own plots. But even if you don’t know a yellow-haloed “Chorus Line” from a rose-andviolet “Houdini,” these gardens in July and August put on quite a show. Vermont Daylilies carries other perennials, such as hostas, flox, geraniums, peonies and astilbe. Don’t want to get your hands dirty? Kathy also sells some antiques. Customers — 80 percent of them Vermonters — drive from as far as Burlington, Middlebury and Rutland to browse. “People tend to start coming by when they see daylilies blooming,” John says, and a one-hour stroll quickly turns into an all-afternoon activity when you’re trying to choose among them. By the end of July, supplies start running low; renewable though it is, the daylily can only do so much dividing. Yellow tags left over from last season indicate some of the regular sellouts: the big, red “Baja;” the “Gentle Shepherd,” described as the “whitest of the near-whites;” and the very late-blooming “Border Giant.” Also, the purple “Russian Rhapsody.” “Basically, everything besides yellow and orange,” John says with a chuckle. Every business tries to satisfy its customers, and Vermont Daylilies is no exception. But not being able to give them everything they want — on the first visit — actually works to the Hunts’ perennial advantage. In fact, it’s a crucial part of their marketing strategy. While “most people who see the garden leave with at least a few pots,” John notes, they also tend to “get addicted.” That increases the chances they’ll come back with friends next year — “earlier and with a list.” 쩾

kinds of conditions, including extremely cold ones, and stand up to pests, drought and poor soil. Shade is OK, too, and may protect darker varieties from fading. “They really are virtually indestructible,” John says of the dormant varieties he and Kathy carry. “You have to work pretty hard to kill them.”

Nature Calls Book review: The Driveway Diaries by Tim Brookes

(formerly on Rt.15 across from McDonald’s)

O

ne of the 20th century’s most central innovations is also one of its least heralded. The pop-top can? The remote control? No, the humble driveway. In his new book, Vermont journalist and National STORY Public Radio essayist Tim Brookes MARGOT describes the driveway as the nail in the HARRISON coffin of traditional communities. While the old-time front porch encouraged The Driveway neighborliness, he writes, the driveway Diaries: A Dirt that replaced it “assumes that you don’t Road Almanac by Tim Brookes, want to talk to passers-by, and that there Turtle Point Press, aren’t any anyway, as they’re all in their 233 pages, cars.” Indispensable handmaidens of the $15.95. automobile, driveways both help mobilize and isolate us. The history of the driveway is a big, meaty topic, and Brookes only grazes on it in this collection of bite-sized essays, many of which originally appeared in Vermont periodicals or were heard on NPR’s “Sunday Weekend Edition.” The topic that links these short takes — many only two pages long — is not the American driveway per se, but the frequently exasperating gravel driveway that connects the author’s home in rural Essex Center with a dirt road, and thence with the outside world.

Steep, ragged, prone to freezing and erosion, Brookes’ driveway is as much an emblem of immobility as mobility. “Poised between civilization and nature,” the driveway sneaks up on him like the trials of country living itself. When the author tidies it with a neat edging of railroad ties, he merely makes it impossible to plow in the winter. A visit to the local gravel pit leaves him feeling like an “idiot.” Gradually, Brookes writes, “I realized that the driveway was a trap, a kind of Advanced Vermont Living Test, and I would fail it.” The essays, which double as “diary entries” as they move chronologically through seven years in Essex Center, take the author from disgust with his unworkable driveway to acceptance and even pride in its refusal to bow to his will. Brookes seems to mean The Driveway Diaries to be a multipurpose book, much as a driveway can double as a basketball court or an herb garden. In places, Brookes makes it an earnest meditation on the place of the rural road in human culture, telling us solemnly that “a car doesn’t belong anywhere,” that “road-paving . . . involves a kind of death,” and that “A >> 36A

At times he stops to contemplate the bucolic beauties of his new home, such as “pale translucent yellow irises peeling out veins of tawny rust like dried blood.” But this is only a quick break from the pratfalls. Brookes’ struggle with his lawn — told in two essays archly titled “Something in Nature Does Not Love a Lawn” — is a case in point. After trotting out the familiar arguments against mowing and monoculture, the author confesses that his experiment with a “no-mow lawn” ended in abject defeat. As clover and

dandelions spring up indomitably in the wake of his brandnew gas mower, he muses, “Nature, once more, has shown herself more than capable of surviving my good intentions.� It’s a fine sentiment, but one that doesn’t offer much help to those who are wondering how to reduce the human-generated emissions that threaten the very existence of the temperate, resilient landscape Brookes alternately celebrates and bemoans. In anecdotes like this, environmentalism emerges as just another occasion for liberal guilt, a pretext for browbeating and navel-gazing. Ultimately, Brookes is most successful at making larger points when he veers away from his own foibles and casts a keen eye on the landscape and the people who inhabit it. His portrait of Grant Corson, local architect of the eccentric “Pixie Houses,� suggests that it’s possible to marry high-minded con-

cerns about energy conservation to good old-fashioned Yankee thrift and cunning. An attempt to make us laugh while making us think, The Driveway Diaries does both, but seldom at the same time. Stylistically, it’s more than a bit twee, rife with personifications of inanimate objects and mock-heroic exaggerations as Brookes embarks on yet another excruciatingly detailed description of an ill-fated home-improvement project. Still, Brookes is a deft satirical miniaturist, and he draws a bead on the common American desire to have country life both ways: Dominate nature and harmonize with it. Anyone who’s ever been tempted by rural living will empathize with — or tremble at — his anecdotes. Some readers may even emerge with a sneaky new appreciation for their paved suburban driveways — “dead,� to be sure, but, like Brookes’ prose, a smooth ride. m

Since spring, the split-rail fencing around the landing at the head of the driveway has fallen apart. The steady shifting of subsoil and rain has left the posts leaning farther and farther out of the vertical until one by one the rails disengage from their slots and fall with a woody thump. This fencing is among the most beautiful things on this property. Covered with gracefully frilled blots of lichen, yellow, white, light green, a delicate ash-gray, and small rugs of emerald-green moss. Even the wood itself has taken on colors: underneath, the rails are the weathered gray of a barn about to fall in on itself; on top they are all shades of watery gray-green. Part of me wants to restore this fencing, which runs around two sides of the landing, to re-dig the post holes, maybe even set them in a little concrete, slot the whole thing back together, tap in an inconspicuous little nail or two here and there to help. After all, this is irreplaceable. Lichen is the slowest-growing living organism; these rails have earned their mottled decoration. Yet this is really a core human vanity, to want to arrest time and change while at the same time enjoy its effects, like wanting to be wise but still young, like wanting a 1953 MG that actually runs. There’s a kind of noble authenticity about the fallen timbers, like the abandoned stone fence down at the foot of the meadow, now almost invisible behind the scrub of small trees that has grown up around it. This fence, like anything artificial, blooms twice: once when it’s brand new, and once when it finally gives up the struggle to be useful, and gives in to forces that are stronger and more patient.

Heart of Darthness Confessions of a former Skywalker

G STORY

CATHY RESMER

eorge Lucas didn’t make me gay, but I think my mother blamed him when I came out to her nine years ago. One of the first things she said to me — after telling me she still loved me — was, “I shouldn’t have let you cut your hair so short as a child.” I suspect she was also thinking, “I never should have taken you to see Star Wars.” I was 3 in 1978, when Mom took me to see the film we now know as Episode IV, on an extended run at the Warren Cinema City Theater, a mile from our home in suburban Michigan. Pictures of me at that age prove that even then I was a tomboy. But after I saw Star Wars, I decided I wanted to be a boy — specifically, I wanted to be the hero, Luke Skywalker. This was not an uncommon experience among members of my generation. Lots of us — boys and girls — identified with members of the movie’s ensemble cast. In fact, on our first date, my first girlfriend admitted that as a child she had envisioned herself as Han Solo. And, let’s face it, if I hadn’t pretended to be Luke Skywalker all those years, I probably would have imagined myself as someone else — Frodo Baggins, perhaps, or Huck Finn. But as it happened, I chose Luke, which is why, this week, I’ll be going to see Episode III: Revenge of the Sith — the sixth and final installment in George Lucas’ space saga. I don’t expect it to be very good — Episodes I and II were truly terrible — but low expectations are no match for the power of nostalgia.

Because I saw Star Wars at such a young age, I don’t remember a time without it. I only vaguely recall the innocent, pre-Lapserian-like years before I learned that the evil Darth Vader was Luke’s father. I’ll never forget the moment I found out. I was at the table in my grandparents’ house in Thomasville, North Carolina, talking with my older cousin, Jimmy. I must have been 5 or 6. Jimmy had already heard about Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back. “Hey, Cathy,” he said. “Guess what I heard? There’s a sequel to Star Wars, and Darth Vader is Luke’s father.”

together with kids from our neighborhood and act out scenes from the movies, or just make things up. I was always Luke. Beth from across the street — a year behind me in school, a year ahead of Karen — was always Princess Leia. Brad from down the block, a year younger than Karen, was Han. Unfortunately, this didn’t leave many characters for my sister. At first she played R2-D2, but she didn’t like that, because he’s a robot who doesn’t actually speak. In 1982, we improvised a solution — Karen would play Gertie, Elliot’s little sister from E.T.

this, since Beth/Leia and I never kissed. “No,” she says. “You were just mean.” Whatever. The point is that my sister was Gertie. And she must have liked it at least a little, because we played Star Wars for years. In fact, we played for so long that I started to get self-conscious about it. When I was 10 or 11, I beckoned Karen and Beth behind the garage. “I think we should stop playing Star Wars,” I told them. I didn’t want any of my other friends to find out about my imaginary life. Beth went to a different Catholic school, but I didn’t

While most girls our age were playing house, we played Star Wars. I was always Luke. This caused a great disturbance in my mind. It went against everything I knew about the nature of good and evil. It was like learning some sinister secret about our honorable president, Ronald Reagan. I couldn’t believe it, and didn’t until I saw the movie myself. Still, it took me years to accept this, and during that time I struggled with much pent-up hostility. I now believe that’s why I told my younger sister Karen that there was no Santa Claus when she was only 3. Karen liked Star Wars, too. While most girls our age were playing house, we played Star Wars. We would get

Karen remembers things a little differently. She says I made her be Gertie because I didn’t want her to have anything to do with Star Wars. “Why do you think I had to be R2D2?” she asks me over the phone the other day. “You wouldn’t even let me be the other one, C-3PO. At least he talks. Even when Beth wasn’t there, you wouldn’t let me be Princess Leia.” Perhaps, I suggest, this was because if she had been Leia, it would have put us a little too close to Luke and Leia’s creepy, semi-incestuous kiss in Episode V, before they realize they’re brother and sister. Karen doesn’t buy

want to take any chances. Still, I wasn’t quite ready to abandon my life as Luke. Once again, I improvised. “I mean, it’s OK if we keep playing,” I clarified. “Just as long as we call it ‘SW.’” What was I so eager to protect? What were we actually doing when we “played SW?” “We used to dance to the cantina music a lot,” remembers Karen. We had a record player in the basement, and we’d play that song from the Star Wars soundtrack over and over. I also remember using the small stand of trees in our back yard as a spaceship, or a secret base. I would climb 20 or 30 feet up and see

the mall in the distance. “It’s the Death Star!” I’d report to my squad. Mostly, though, I recall pretending to be wounded. The four of us would often embark on missions. Before we reached our enemies, we would imitate explosions. I would drop to the ground, sometimes pretending to fall in slow motion. I would lie on the basement floor — or on a beanbag chair — and call for help. Beth/Leia and Brad/Han would do this, too; Karen/Gertie somehow always emerged unscathed. “Gertie,” I would moan, as if I were drifting in and out of consciousness. “Go get . . . General Rieekan. Tell him . . . I’ve got a broken leg.”

Not to be outdone, Beth/Leia would instruct Karen/ Gertie to help her first. “I have a broken neck,” she’d whine. “Gertie! Gertie!” I’d call out, as if I had been jolted awake by a blinding pain. “I’ve been shot.” Then I’d slump over and allow a trickle of spit to dribble down my chin as if it were blood. Karen/Gertie would scurry around the basement, yelling for the general. Brad/Han would usually just lie there whimpering; he was clumsy, and often hurt himself when he fell to the ground. When I ask my sister if she remembers us ever actually fighting anyone, she says no, not really. “We didn’t have enough people to play the bad guys,” she points out. That changed when I was 12 — Brad got a new stepbrother, and we made him Darth Vader. He was perfect for

the part, but we stopped letting him play when he made a rope noose and suggested we hang my dog in it. That was a little too evil. We were more or less done playing by then, anyway. I don’t remember the last round, but Karen insists she had sworn off SW by the time she was in the fifth grade, which means I would have been 12 or 13. But ceasing to pretend I’m Luke hasn’t stopped me from buying a ticket to a show on the first day of Episode III, just as not going to Mass hasn’t stopped me from collecting glow-in-the-dark rosaries. Despite its many faults — hackneyed script, crass commercialism, Jar Jar Binks — there’s still something compelling about George Lucas’ saga of redemption. Maybe that’s because, deep down, we all just want to be saved. Or maybe he’s just a damn good marketer. 쩾

For two hours, she opened a winSTORY dow into the remarkable life of Emily ELISABETH Dickinson, and captivated the Lost CREAN Nation Theater audience with a brilliant, spirited performance. The Belle of William Luce’s play about the reclusive Amherst, 19th-century poet challenges an actress on directed by several fronts.

vigorous long-distance correspondences, writing more than 10,000 letters. And she wrote 1775 poems, kept in a box by her bed. Only a handful were published during her lifetime. Why Dickinson (1830-1886) withdrew from the world has been the subject of scholarly debate, feminist theorizing and psychobiography. The key men in Emily’s life did treat her poorly: her demanding father, who authored an essay, “On Keeping Women in Their Place”; the editor who strung her along and monkeyed with her meter rather than publishing her poems; and the unrequited love of her life who heartlessly rejected her. Marriage eluded her, and women of her social class did not work outside the home. But The Belle of Amherst asserts that Dickinson assumed the role of isolated eccentric as an act of power. “People in small towns must have their local characters,” she confides to the audience. “I enjoy the game . . .

She takes the audience into her confidence, almost giddy with pent-up desire to share her small triumphs and large sorrows. Lincoln for anything but laughs. In the case of the beloved, enigmatic Dickinson, theater-goers may come to the show with preconceived ideas about her life and work. By the end of the evening, however, Luce’s text and Keenan’s convincing interpretation painted a fresh, delightfully unexpected picture. Dickinson’s poetry was her “Letter to the World/That never wrote to Me.” She lived the last 25 years of her life in seclusion at the Homestead, her father’s comfortable home in Amherst, Massachusetts. Dressed always in diaphanous bridal white, even in winter, she rarely spoke with anyone outside her immediate family, although she would bake for neighbors and enclose cryptic notes. Yet she kept up

The white dress, the seclusion. It’s all deliberate.” Dickinson’s poetry became her alternate way of being in the world. She used words and imagery and rhyme to process emotion and experience. “I travel the road into my soul all the time,” she says. The play takes place one afternoon at the Homestead when Dickinson, at age 53, is looking back on her life. She takes the audience into her confidence, almost giddy with pent-up desire to share her small triumphs and large sorrows, as she recalls past events, reenacts stories and recites poems. Keenan’s portrayal had many strengths as she smoothly shifted through the play’s demanding gears. Her greatest asset was

LEAD What could be more important than the water you drink?

NITRATE not overdoing anything: Her comic timing was excellent; she employed wonderful facial expressions and vocal emphasis without hamming it up; she cried real tears without rending garments or gnashing teeth. Keenan paused occasionally to let an important line sink in, such as, “It’s best to abandon paths when you find they lead nowhere.” And she skillfully brought to life the other people in Dickinson’s past, sometimes by imitating them, but most often just by showing the poet’s side of their conversations. She gave the audience a rich sense that despite her isolation, Dickinson lived fully and loved deeply. Seamless production elements supported Keenan’s performance. Donna Stafford’s elegant set, furnished with colorful antiques, was a gem of style and design. The blend of Victorian and traditional New England pieces demonstrated the household’s prosperity. It also illustrated the tension — in a college town like Amherst and in the well-educated Dickinson family — between fashionable, forward-thinking influences and more austere, Puritanical roots. The two-room set consisted of Dickinson’s bedroom and the family parlor. The layout provided a variety of places in which to do scenes, without impeding Keenan’s flow of

movement. Director Kim Bent used the space in a balanced and thoughtful way. He steered Keenan skillfully between two dangerous shoals that can shipwreck a one-person play: Too Much Running Around and Master Thespian Stands and Delivers. His direction was uncluttered and restrained, the better to let his star shine. Lighting designer John B. Forbes and musical designer Tim Tavcar plied their trades gently to enhance Keenan’s presentation without intruding on it. When Dickinson flashed to a scene from her past, the general lighting dimmed and a spot focused on her. The transitions were subtle and not cheesy. The aural support was also unobtrusive; period music softly underscored moments of emotional intensity in key scenes. Like the lighting, it served the work without drawing undue attention to itself. A few details of Keenan’s physical portrayal did prove to be minor, recurring annoyances. The base volume of her voice was too soft at times. While her polished diction meant that the words were always intelligible, audience members with lessthan-perfect hearing sometimes had to strain to hear her. There were two slightly jarring incongruities in Keenan’s appearance as well. Her wavy red hair, rather unsuccessfully tamed, was at odds with the play’s repeated

emphasis on Dickinson’s “plain” looks and brown hair. It was somewhat disconcerting when Keenan, as Dickinson, referred directly to these when showing the audience “her” picture: the famous daguerreotype of the real Emily Dickinson, whose dark ’do was as severe as a New England winter. Keenan also looked too young to be playing the poet at 53, which in the 1880s was a fairly advanced age. The play mentions a recent bout of ill health, and Dickinson was just 56 when she died. It was less a question of painting on fake wrinkles and gray hair than of physical movement: Keenan embodied her subject rather too vivaciously. Just as a youthful Romeo shouldn’t be hobbling around in support hose swigging Metamucil, the elder Emily Dickinson should have been a step slower than Keenan portrayed her. These minor physical issues, however, did not detract from the play’s overall emotional impact. Far more important was how Keenan conveyed Dickinson’s vivacity of spirit. “To find that phosphorescence, that light within, that’s the genius behind poetry,” her character says. And that’s the genius of Keenan’s performance: capturing Dickinson’s light, and captivating the audience with her life. m

STARLINE HIT STUDIO The honky-tonkin’ headcutters in The Starline Rhythm Boys are gearing up to record their third fulllength album at Little Castle Studios in picturesque Starksboro, according to frontman Danny Coane. Regular Starline producer Sean Mencher — who also fronts the Austin rockabilly act High Noon — will once again be behind the boards. To best document their spirited sound, the trio plans to lay it down live, with overdubs “only as necessary.” Lightning has already struck twice for the band, which also features lead guitarist/vocalist “Big” Al Lemery and upright-bass sensation Billy Bratcher. Coane has high hopes for these sessions as well. “Billy has written a bunch of great new tunes, and Big Al’s ‘Drunk Tank,’ will be on there,” he says. One of my personal faves, that number brings down the house in live performance — I can’t wait to hear it on-demand. In addition to the original material, the as-yet-untitled album will also feature a couple of covers. “We’ve got two good obscure ones — a rockabilly version of a Jimmy Martin bluegrass song, and a Starline treatment of a Chicago blues tune by Little Walter,” Coane says. Fans can look forward to a couple of bonus tracks as well: “A Memory of Fred,” featured in John O’ Brien’s Fred Tuttle pic Man With a Plan and a live cut from last year’s Bill Kirchen/Starline show at the Hampton Inn are slated for inclusion. But don’t get too excited — the boys haven’t set a date for the release. In the meantime, you can check out their new website, http://www.StarlineRhythmBoys.com for upcoming gigs, music samples and some cool new pics.

KEEPING TIME

GREG DAVIS

FURTHER TRANSMISSIONS Greg Davis — my favorite world-renowned experimental electronic artist/Burlingtonian — is making his second appearance at Radio Bean on Saturday, May 21. His set last month with Bird Show and Keith FullertonWhitman incorporated sundry organic instrumentation into captivating soundscapes that filled the tiny room with gorgeous, pulsating tones. I’m definitely looking forward to his next performance — especially since he’ll be joined by two other trailblazing acts. For this week’s show, Davis has invited his friends Mountains and Fourcolor to town. One of the flagship artists on Brooklyn’s Apestaarje imprint, Mountains trade in “gradual music that utilizes various softwarebased technologies,” according to label head and band member Koen Holtkamp. Apestaarje — which takes its name from the Dutch word for @ — specialize in music that requires “detailed listening,” so pay attention, yo. Tokyo’s Fourcolor is the brainchild of electro-acoustic composer Keiichi Sugimoto. His meticulous, patient creations rely on simple sources that are electronically manipulated into delicate aural structures. Built from the layering and tweaking of acoustic textures and drones, Fourcolor’s work is both natural and alien; a reflective meditation on musical “otherness.” This kind of stuff requires an open ear to be appreciated, but it’s definitely worth the effort. When you’re listening closely, subtle textures and distinct patterns emerge that constantly shift and evolve. Davis is starting to bring some pretty amazing artists to town — come see the show so he continues to do so.

Although they’re not often the center of attention, drummers are an integral part of a solid live act. Too many groups are compromised by a lack of oomph behind the kit; tempo problems, sloppy fills and inexperience can sink a band with top-notch tunes. On the other hand, a tight drummer can elevate the right combo to previously unimagined heights — just look at Ringo Starr. Umm, maybe that’s not the perfect example. Three of Burlington’s most promising acts were each visited by the drum fairy recently; dark-hop explorers Manifest Nexto Me have recruited ex-Concentric timekeeper Tobias Rower, indie-noise terrors Video Pigeon gained guitarist-turned drummer Jeremy Mendicino, and ethereal rockers The Cush are now joined by ex-Seth Yacovone Band percussionist Steve Hadeka. I’ve seen each of these groups over the last few weeks, and all of them are benefiting from the new additions. Manifest achieve greater dynamism with Rower; he brings definition and focus to the band’s amorphous grooves. Video Pigeon have transformed from a cautiously edgy indie band to a brash, heavy monstrosity anchored by Mendicino’s hard-hitting intensity, while The Cush’s spacey songcraft takes on a new dimension with Hadeka’s thoughtful articulation and pro touch. So give yourselves a hand, rhythm buddies. OK — now get back to bangin.’

OLD PALS, NEW HORIZONS Some of you are already familiar with the melodic math-rock of The Dakota. Once a Burlington act, they’re now Philly-based. And they’re good too — and I’m not just saying that because I was once their guitarist and named the band. Good times. But man, I always hated lugging amps. Well, I’m pleased to report they’ve been busy in L.A. working on a new record with Incubus bassist Ben Kenney, who is overseeing the project. Kenny’s CV is pretty impressive; he’s logged time with hiphop acts The Roots and Blackalicious as well as Incubus side project Time-Lapse Consortium. It’s looking like his label Ghetto Crush Industries might be home to the forthcoming Dakota disc; hope they send a promo to me! According to drummer Andy Vick, he and the band are pretty psyched about the new opportunities. “You should see this place,” he told me during a recent cell-phone conversation. “It’s a recording studio mansion on the beach.” Aww, I always miss the good stuff. Anyway, congratulations to the boys — they’re hard workers and deserve all the success that comes their way. I’m looking forward to hearing them again on Saturday, May 21, with fellow Philadelphians The Lottery and local heroes Carrigan in an early show at Club Metronome.

BLUES FOR BREAKFAST THE LOYALISTS

SWEET & SOUR :: California’s Rilo Kiley offer smart, impeccably arranged songs filled with tales of destitute damsels and dysfunctional dudes. Featuring the delightfully smug vocals of indie-rock sex symbol Jenny Lewis, the band weaves between laid-back twang and revved-up power pop. Catchy melodies, bittersweet lyrics and a penchant for ’50s chord progressions separate them from the current crop of post-punk fashionistas. Hear for yourself this Saturday, at the Higher Ground Ballroom. Nada Surf and The Brunettes open.

GORDON STONE BAND, RHYMES WITH ORANGE

EKIS, THE HIDDEN JAR (Self-released, CD)

(Jeezum Crow Music, CD)

Can a three-piece instrumental group comprising banjo, bass and fiddle actually make funk music? While it certainly seems odd, Rhymes With Orange — the new album by the new Gordon Stone Band — boldly answers the question in the affirmative. On the slick album cover, banjo/pedal steel guru Stone looks a bit like a cross between Billy Bob Thornton and Jeff “the Dude” Lebowski, but the music is what really matters here. Backed by ex-Concentric bass man Aram Bedrosian and 15-year-old fiddle whiz Mike Barnett, Stone’s latest shies away from both the roots bluegrass of his early group, Pine Island, and the more recent jam-oriented stylings. All too brief at 37 minutes, the music on Rhymes could be described as funkgrass. Bedrosian ably provides the foundation for the group; in the absence of a drummer, his muscular bass lines provide a rhythmic bedrock upon which Stone and Barnett lay their licks. A key component of the album’s funky feel, Bedrosian really lets loose on “Upstart” and “Slapioca” — both of which he co-penned. Fans of four-stringer Mike Gordon’s work with Phish will particularly enjoy Bedrosian’s crisp slap style. Stone brings his own funk to “Batik,” which features his tasty, staccato banjo work. His picking is, as always, impeccable, but his most noteworthy performances are on the pedal steel. Stone takes the listener for a fluid ride on “Nice Feet,” evokes wistful contemplation on “Nightshade,” and swaps virtuosic solos with Barnett on “Buffalo Blues.” While the term “prodigy” is probably overused, Barnett is undoubtedly one talented kid. Technically impressive and highly spirited, his playing perfectly complements Bedrosian and Stone’s high-powered chops. Replicating the kind of chicken-scratch guitar typically found on albums by the likes of Kool & the Gang or Booker T & the MGs, Barnett puts his instrument in a whole new light. The whole band clicks on standout cut “Funky Joe Clark,” but it’s Barnett who really shines; his intense, urgent solos simply crackle with electricity. Rhymes With Orange is solid throughout, but tracks like this one really make you hope for more from this hot new edition of GSB. Hear them May 20 at the Langdon St. Café in Montpelier.

JAKE RUTTER

Vermont’s Ekis trade in sunny, impeccably played world-pop; imagine Paul Simon and Dave Matthews’ rural love-child, and you’re almost there. Formed in 1999 by singer-songwriter Jay Ekis, the band is a regular on the Green Mountain bar/coffeehouse scene, entertaining audiences statewide with user-friendly boogie and uplifting lyrics. Ekis’ latest, The Hidden Jar, offers 10 jaunty numbers that are handsomely crafted, if a little safe. But who listens to this stuff to feel dangerous? Like a game of Frisbee on a spring afternoon, Ekis’ music is relaxing and fun. The group’s command of melody and rhythm is impressive, as is the interplay between band members. Coproduced by Jay Ekis and Colin McCaffrey, the disc sounds crisp; each tune is well arranged, voiced and recorded. Ex-Gordon Stone Band bassist Rudy Dauth’s work on “Outside of Town” is delightfully rugged, providing a solid foundation for Ekis’ funky guitar vamps. Drummer Carter Stowell taps the ride cymbal with understated precision, never overstepping his bounds. The tune has a smooth groove, like rafting down a lazily winding river. Ekis’ voice is a little rough in spots, though, lacking in color and nuance, and it’s unfortunately mixed a little too high. “So We Dance” bobs along, assisted by a horn section comprising local brassmen Brian Boyes, Robinson Morse and Zach Tonnissen. The band uses space extraordinarily well; although the song is fairly complex, each player refrains from stepping on another’s toes. Ekis might want to hold off on rapping on future compositions, however; his awkward “freestyle” on the track spoils an otherwise tasty Afro-funk workout. Much of the album’s charm comes from its guest performances; Boyes’ trumpet intro to “Everyday Happening” is salsa-riffic, and Adam Frehm’s pedal steel adds an Americana twist to the band’s global groove. McCaffrey’s lilting organ work on “Pretty Scars” colors the track’s edges, adding a smart harmonic counterpoint. Ekis’ guitar leads are likewise sophisticated, loaded with slick melodic phrasing. There are a few missteps here and there, such as the by-the-numbers ballad “Pink Shadows.” The track suffers from listless vocals and sluggish pacing, but at least it appears near the end of the disc. Loaded with intricate polyrhythms and interlocking melodies, Ekis’ tunes are highly elaborate for a pop act. Although a lot of The Hidden Jar wouldn’t sound out of place in an advertisement for a cruise ship vacation, it’s tough to find fault with a band that performs with such enthusiasm. Hear them on May 21, at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville.

DISCOVER JAZZ PREVIEW: SUN. JUNE 12

SONIC ALCHEMY :: This year’s Discover Jazz Festival ends with a bang with the live debut of Trio! on the Flynn MainStage. Featuring the banjo wizardry of Béla Fleck, the dynamism of bassist Stanley Clarke, and the molten violin work of Jean Luc-Ponty, the group’s virtuosic mix of jazz, classical music and Americana is sure to blow a few minds. For more than three decades, Fleck has molded roots music into fascinating new forms, both as a member of the Flecktones, and as a solo artist. Ponty’s pioneering work with Mahavishnu Orchestra and Frank Zappa made him a fusion favorite, while Clarke’s low-end theory put the groove behind Return to Forever and Jeff Beck. Don’t miss your chance to hear them make magic together on Sunday, June 12.

The Layered Look

G EXHIBIT Gail Salzman, abstract oil paintings. DollAnstadt Gallery, Burlington. Through May.

ARTWORK “Matter & Spirit 2” by Gail Salzman

PHOTO Marc Awodey

ail Salzman is a constantly evolving artist with a uniquely evocative approach to abstraction. Her exhibition of 10 nonobjective paintings at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery captures the spirit of the landscape without specifically referencing physical locales. The show is entitled “Convergence,” and a curatorial statement for the exhibition discloses, “As translucent paint layers overlap, Salzman watches for the turning point, a convergence when the immediate sensual experience intersects with evoked memories.” Her works are particularly attentive to the ever-shifting moods of water. It would be easy to say Salzman is painting reflections of the surfaces of moving water, but she is much less literal than that. “Counterpoint” is a 30-by36-inch oil in which flattened, translucent forms sometimes bear jagged edges, like tissue paper torn for collage. Among Salzman’s hues are dark olive greens, such as might be seen in a pond with decaying leaves. But there is also a clean crimson near the lower edge of the canvas. A few opaque turquoise lines also meander around the picture plane. “Turning” is another 30-by-36inch canvas. Its colors include the rusty browns of autumn, icy blues and cold greens. Closely cropped white paint drips inch horizontally over some parts of the painting’s surface, while broad, dancing brushstrokes scumble over others. “April Duet” and “June Duet” are horizontal 22-by-13-inch works on panel, constructed with two conjoined 11-by-13-inch squares. Neither is really a diptych, as their images are completely unified. “April Duet” gives the illusion of dimension with a Mobius strip of green and raw umber in the center of its composition. “June Duet” includes scarlet and crimson sinews of color floating over cool grays and

intense yellows. Organic bundles of ruddy strands, like roots, run along the righthand edge of the piece. Salzman’s “Matter & Spirit” series consists of three vertical 22-by-13inch conjoined panel works. “Matter & Spirit 2” falls downward like a mountain rivulet, or a Chinese brush painting on that theme. It may be the most naturalistic work in the show, specifically because of the illusion of gravity it presents. Grays and lilac layered over orange and sienna echo the hues of autumn. “Matter & Spirit 3” seems precariously top-heavy in comparison. Its darkest and most opaque values are in the upper panel, while translucent orange and cobalt blue hues swim in the lower panel. Details in Salzman’s paintings reveal her tactile virtuosity. Swaths of raw color, varied glazes, a welter of brushstrokes, drips and smears all claim center stage in different passages. Salzman’s ribbons of form behave in equally creative ways —

overlapping, abutted or sometimes not quite touching. Their movements seem beautifully choreographed rather than spontaneous. The 32-by-36-inch oil-on-linen piece from which the exhibit takes its name is less naturalistic than most of the works in the show. The composition is based on slightly bowed verticals that loosely alternate between deep, fiery reds and pale, luminous yellows. The two dominant hues converge as their distinct layers merge into focus. Strands of scarlet are tangled at the upper-left and lower-right corners. If it has any reference to nature, it is to blood vessels, lava flows and combinations of the two. But Salzman is primarily an abstractionist. Where her abstractions converge with landscape is in her approach to rhythm and hue. The Latin root words of “abstract” mean “to draw from” or “separate.” Salzman separates moods and emotions from the natural world to create classically abstract paintings. m

Yarn Harlot You don't usually go to a yarn shop to meet bloggers — unless you're going to a book signing by a knitter/blogger, like Stephanie "Yarn Harlot" Pearl-McPhee. Then you can expect to spot at least a few. Pearl-McPhee stopped by Kaleidoscope Yarns in Essex Junction today to sign copies of At Knits End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much. Williston knitter/blogger Margot Schips bought five copies. St. Albans knitter/blogger Norma Miller already has at least one. The two cyber scribes already knew each other, though they didn't realize it at first. "Hi, I'm Norma," said Miller. "I'm Margot," said Schips. Then the light-bulbs went off. "Oh! You're Now Norma Knits!, Hi!" "Oh," said Miller. "Margot!" They hugged. "This is what happens when bloggers meet," quipped PearlMcPhee. "It's like, someone walks up and says 'Hi, I'm Bruce Wayne,' and then he says, 'oh, and I'm also —" Miller interrupted. "Superman!" she said. "Batman," corrected Pearl-McPhee. "She knows her bloggers, just not her cartoon guys.” [read more online]

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS STAR WARS: EPISODE III-REVENGE OF THE SITH: George Lucas calls it a day with the third in his series of ponderous prequels. The final film chronicles the formation of the Galactic Empire and the birth of big bad Darth. With Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen and Jimmy Smits. (146 min, PG-13)

SHORTS

Kicking & Screaming HHH

A TRIUMPH OF THE WILL Ferrell plays a soccer dad obsessed with taking his team to the finals.

s an ardent Will Ferrell fan, I am saddened to report that the comic actor’s new film is neither a kick nor a scream. It is an only sporadically inspired, overwhelmingly standardissue feel-good sports fable that badly needed a better game plan. Ferrell plays a mild-mannered klutz who’s spent a lifetime failing to live up to the expectations of his superjock father. There’s a whole Great Santini thing going on between the two guys. Which is theoretically funny, since the old man is played by Bull Meechum himself, Robert Duvall. Somehow, though, the joke never makes it off the page. Because he knows the sting of having approval withheld, Ferrell has dedicated himself to making sure he doesn’t repeat the cycle with his own son (Dylan McLaughlin). The problem is, he overcompensates and has become one of those parents whose children can’t do anything wrong. He’s been Barneyfied: Every kid and everything they do is special. So when he is called upon to coach the boy’s Little League soccer team, which is firmly ensconced in last place, Ferrell does not approach the task with cutthroat gusto. Rather, he coddles his undisciplined crew and urges them to feel good about themselves despite their unrivaled lack of ability. At least that’s how things start out. The core joke here is that Duvall is also a league coach. His team’s in first place, of course. Eventually Ferrell realizes that facing off against his father this way offers an opportunity for redemption and sets in motion a chain of events that immediately begins to turn things around for the Tigers. As fate — and slapdash scriptwriting — would have it, legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka lives next door to Duvall, and there’s a long-running, though completely unexplained, enmity between the two. When approached

by Ferrell, Ditka agrees to come on as his assistant because he knows he’ll be able to whip the outfit into shape and, more importantly, that doing so will drive his neighbor crazy. If you’ve ever seen a movie about sports, you will not be shocked to the brink of speechlessness by the turn events take here. Thanks to Ditka’s expertise, the underdogs begin a long climb out of the cellar. Thanks to a pair of young Italian recruits, the team becomes virtually unbeatable. Thanks to the fact that Ditka introduces Ferrell to the performance-enhancing properties of coffee, the once kind and gentle leader transforms into a victory-obsessed java junkie who orders his players to go out there and break the bones of their opponents. OK, the coffee bit offers a variation on the traditional come-from-behind-and-make-it-to-the-big-game formula. Just don’t expect much more. As written by Leo Benvenuti and Steve Rudnick and directed by Jesse Dylan, Kicking & Screaming is stunningly by-the-numbers for a picture with Will Ferrell as its primary selling point. Certainly the fact that the movie is targeted to young viewers is no excuse for it not being as funny or inventive as the actor’s other films. Meatballs and School of Rock, for example, both teamed wild-and-crazy grownup guys with a cast of kids and managed to produce solid comic cinema. There’s a thrown-together feeling to this production. Its creators apparently figured they could simply drop Ferrell into a routine family film, sit back and wait for the performer to make it into something more. Hey, he’s great, but he’s only one guy. How about a little teamwork? If the film’s writers had gotten their heads in the game, and Dylan had a loftier goal than cranking out a Mighty Ducks for the new millennium, maybe we might’ve had something here. As it is, they banked on their star player carrying the day, and this time he dropped the ball. m

SEVEN DAYS RICK MOULTON

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Man With Plans Service, published in 2004 by the University’s Center for Research on Vermont. The duo will act as consultants for the one-hour doc, which VPT plans to broadcast in November. “Then, hopefully, we can shop it out regionally and maybe nationally,” Moulton explains. At 57, he has been toiling in the cinematic trenches for more than three decades. Moulton graduated from the University of Denver Film School, studied at the London Film School, and operated his own studio in Colorado. After migrating east to the Green Mountain State in the early 1970s, he launched his home-based Keystone Productions. Thematically, Moulton began with surfing movies in Hawaii and California, but eventually switched from the waves to the slopes. Legends of American Skiing was a 1982 project; Thrills and Spills in the North Country came out in 1998. Moulton recently wrote and edited Legacy: Austria’s Alpine Ambassadors, a doc directed by Ian Scully of Albuquerque about early 20th-century European downhill legends. It won a 2005 International Skiing Heritage Association award and will screen at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival on Memorial Day. His Ski Moments in Time will play on RSN Cable, which airs inhouse fare at resorts throughout

North America. “It’s got a dozen twominute vignettes on what was happening in winter sports as far back as the 1920s,” says Moulton. The Aiken project has more in common with other Moulton efforts, particularly the nostalgic Vermont Memories segments he did for VPT in the mid-1990s. Aiken, a Putney farmer elected governor for two terms in the late 1930s, was so popular that he only needed to spend $17.09 on his second campaign. During that gubernatorial reign, he reportedly broke the local monopolies of banks, railroads and other industries, while supporting such community-minded programs as agricultural co-ops and food stamps. His Senate years, from 1941 through 1975, gave Aiken a greater international perspective. President John F. Kennedy sent him to Moscow in 1963 to participate in the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty signing. The peacenik Vermonter, who died in 1984, is remembered for his Lincolnesque integrity and plainspoken approach. That 1966 Aiken speech about unilateral withdrawal from Vietnam, however, is a long, intellectual argument — not quite as snappy as “get the hell out” — that appeared in the Congressional Record. Moulton has unearthed one of

Aiken’s even more astonishingly prescient comments, made in 1941: “Are we going to say to the common folk of America that we have to make worldwide markets for guns and oil and materials of war because a new crop of war millionaires is necessary for our well being, and that the sons of the common people must die in order to bring this about?” Moulton sees his current film as an educational tool that chronicles bygone days of bipartisan statesmanship and commitment to grassroots democracy. “I hope it will communicate that George Aiken was fiscally conservative but socially responsible,” he says. “He was a man of conscience, the kind of archetypal Republican that Jim Jeffords tried to embrace. In today’s political landscape, that’s really been lost.” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

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

Nigel flew with the RAF far into Germany and Austria. Surprisingly nasty GNATS stang the hell out of Bobbie-Rae. These days nobody says kids who smoke KOOL look cool. They say the DEVIL lived above before he took residence below. Einbecker of Baden-Baden makes one REGAL lager. For NOEL, Leon had a raucous party and the cops came. When an orca hit the SLOOP, pools of water formed in the hull. They say SLEEP peels off many layers of the psyche. In AVON, nova on a bagel with cream cheese is hard to find. Porno that upsets your stomach is called TUMS smut. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Opposites attract.

C

ontemporary pundits criticizing the Iraqi quagmire often cite putative versions of the late U.S. Senator George Aiken’s famous statement about the Vietnam War, such as: “Let’s declare a victory and get the hell out.” But none of their suggested quotes has been accurate, apparently. A documentary-in-progress might help clear up the confusion. Huntington independent filmmaker Rick Moulton will profile the progressive Vermont Republican, whose outlook was rockribbed rather than right-wing. Moulton starts shooting next month on a modest $60,000 budget, most of it funded by the University of Vermont and Vermont Public Television. “It’s going to be a biographical piece,” he says. “I’ll look at his entire legacy: rural electrification, agriculture, the Interstate and foreign relations.” Ideally, Moulton would like to get Helen Thomas on camera, because the veteran political columnist can share Aiken recollections from her days as a cub reporter in the nation’s capital. He’ll also interview Aiken’s octogenarian widow Lola, and tap into a treasure trove of archival footage. In addition, Moulton will benefit from the expertise of Samuel Hand, a UVM professor emeritus, and Stephen Terry, who was a legislative assistant to Aiken from 1969 to 1975. They compiled and edited The Essential Aiken: A Life in Public

FRIDAY 20

RISEN SON

Thanks to his legendary folk-singer father Woody, Arlo Guthrie grew up steeped in American music. In 1967, his playful, catchy and anti-authoritarian anthem “Alice’s Restaurant” launched Arlo’s own style of Vietnam-draft-questioning, tongue-in-cheek social activism — and, a few years later, his acting career. In every medium Guthrie manages to stay a storyteller, and anecdotes remain a big part of his shows. Nowadays, with military recruitment at an all-time low, and no end to the mess in Iraq, it helps to poke fun at those in charge. If you want to end war and stuff, you got to sing loud.

ARLO GUTHRIE Friday, May 20, Chandler Music Hall, Randolph, 7:30 p.m. $32. Info, 728-6464.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@TROPICAL FISH CLUB OF BURLINGTON VFW, BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 7 P.M. Vermont’s iconic ichythological band broke up last summer, but there are still fish-heads in town getting tanked — at the monthly meeting of the Tropical Fish Club of Burlington. Members gather on the second Thursday of each month, September through June, to exchange ideas about aquarium life. The VFW seems an unlikely HQ, but organizer David Banks points out that unlike the waterfront science center, where they used to meet, it’s free. Nine men and women mingle before the meeting begins. David Isham, editor of the group’s newsletter, In Depth, explains their fin fetish: “You get attracted to a certain species and you want to take care of it.” He adds, “They’re cheaper than dogs.” Frankly, that’s hard to believe. These people aren’t talking about caring for a few goldfish they won at the fair. Most of them keep dozens of exotic, Latin-named fish, each of which may cost hundreds of dollars. “It’s addictive,” Isham concedes. “Most people have 30, 40, 50 tanks, then they crash for awhile and cut back.” During a round of self-help-style introductions, one newcomer, “Keith,” tells of a recent downsizing. “I’ve been keeping Africans for about 10 years now,” he says. “I used to have six or seven tanks, but my wife has me down to two. Now we’re moving, and she says I can only have one.” Keith’s story elicits some sympathetic groans. Then a chorus of “yeahs” as Isham suggests negotiating for “a certain area instead of a number of tanks.” Sounds like a strategy he’s tried before. After the intros, Banks begins the feature presentation, “African Rift Lake Cichlids and Appropriate Tankmates.” Slides of stunningly colorful fish appear on the wall between a trophy case and an American flag. An unused disco ball hovers overhead. Some of the specimens seem to glare defiantly at the collectors, like the tiny, brownish Lamprologus ocellatus. “I’ve actually had this fish draw blood,” Banks reports. But he reassures the audience that there are other fish in the, er, African Rift Lakes. Enthusiastically, he urges, “I always say, there’s a cichlid for absolutely everybody.” ELISABETH CREAN

HIGH LIFE

If warm, late-spring weather makes you want to kick up your heels, the Hyjinx Festival offers a good venue for a whack at hackey-sac, among other things. Puppet-making, bread-baking, theater games and poetry reading augment artist demonstrations and craft exhibits, and local businesses and restaurants display their wares and offer samples. The all-ages community arts fair was convened for the first time last year by a local high school senior, and remains mostly student-organized, with help from River Arts. A comedy show features kids coached by Vermont clown jewels Peter Gould and Stephen Stearns. The Different Drummer String Ensemble and the Mud City Ramblers finish off the day with music under the stars. Here’s to looking up.

SEW AND TELL

Pioneer women didn’t have it easy. Besides the hand-to-mouth business of making a living from the land, the American plains fielded fires and twisters — but they also fostered loving, tight-knit families. Vermont Stage Company brings the 19th-century flatlands home with Quilters. Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek’s play follows the lives of a lady settler and her six daughters, stitching together blocks of theater about the frontier female experience with music, dance — and needlework. Quilts created and donated by the Champlain Valley Quilters Guild also star in the show, including a 9-foot-square “Legacy Quilt� destined to be raffled off. In the end, the patchwork pieces form a colorful comforter that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

‘QUILTERS’ Wednesdays through Sundays, May 18-29, FlynnSpace, Burlington, various times. $24-28. Info, 863-5966.

SOLAR SYSTEMS

Basic guidelines and a solar panel steered the middle-school students fielding cars in the Northern Vermont Junior Solar Sprint. But actually powering a sunbeam-stoked roller was up to them, and the design-and-build process was mostly trial and error: tinkering, or playing, to see what worked. Appropriately, this national competition is run by the U.S. Department of Energy to get kids to explore two of the most important issues facing today's adult policy-makers: energy and transportation.

Don’t mess with Ann Richards. The gracious yet fiery former governor of Texas lost her last race in 1994 to an upstart named George W. Bush. But she still gets credit for reinvigorating the Democratic Party with her stirring oratory and firm convictions; plus, she’s wickedly funny. She coined the witticism, “Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did — she just did it backwards and in high heels.� Richards raised four children while working in highly visible political jobs in the Lone Star State, during an era not necessarily known for progressiveness. She isn’t slowing down any, either, despite being diagnosed with osteoporosis. Vermont Woman hosts Richards as part of its yearlong lecture series.

L RE A

MAY 19-25

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The advice I have for you may not go over well with the part of you that’s prone to acting like a battering ram. Nevertheless, I’m convinced it’s the correct thing to do, so please suppress your head-butting instincts for now, and heed these bits of wisdom from ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tsu. 1. “The softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest thing in the universe.” 2. “In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): In my astrological opinion, it’s time to make some radical new promises to yourself. What acts of ingenious love do you vow to carry out in the months to come? I’ll offer a few suggestions; feel free to dream up 20 more. Say this aloud: “I will never forsake, betray, or deceive myself. I will always adore, forgive, and believe in myself. I will never ignore, belittle, or underestimate myself. I will always amuse, delight, and redeem myself.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Having a wingspan of almost 3 feet, the ivory-billed woodpecker was a beauty that once thrived in the hardwood forests of the southern U.S. Native Americans believed the bird’s ivory bill had magical powers. They used it as currency and made it into crowns worn by great warriors. Sadly, the species has been thought extinct since 1944, when the last of its kind disappeared. But a month ago, conservationists announced a great reversal of fortunes: Several ivory bills have recently been spotted in the Arkansas woods. You should regard this as a metaphor for events unfolding in your own life, Gemini. Magic that you thought was gone forever is returning.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): It’s graduation time for you, Cancerian. Maybe you’re finishing up work at an actual school, or maybe your classroom has been in the streets, but in any case you’re completing lessons you’ve been studying for many

moons. Personally, I’ve enjoyed watching you work. It has been a pleasure seeing you evolve from an innocent amateur into a proficient veteran without losing your purity. As you journey on to your next challenge, I hope you’ll find a way to use the expertise you’ve developed even as you cultivate maximum curiosity about the next frontier.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Andrea Levy never read a book until she was 23 and didn’t start writing until her mid-thirties. Now 49, she’s the author of four books, including Small Island, which in 2004 won three major awards in her native Britain. She’s your role model for the next four weeks, Leo. What natural talent have you failed to develop so far? Let Levy inspire you to shed your regret about it and dive into a new era of full engagement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nearly half of American high school students believe that the government should have the power to censor the news. Surveys also show that a majority of adults in the U.S. would vote against the Bill of Rights if it were presented to them in a referendum. Don’t be anything like those wackos in the coming days, Virgo. On the contrary, you should fight for all the freedom you can imagine, including the freedom of other people as well as your own. Be an expert in liberation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is no God. God is dead. God is a drug for people who aren’t very smart. God is an illusion sold to dupes by exploitative religions. God is a right-wing conspiracy. God is an infantile fantasy clung to by superstitious cowards who can’t face life’s existential meaninglessness. JUST KIDDING! In fact, anyone who says she knows what God is or isn’t, doesn’t. That’s why I suggest that you confess what you don’t know about God. If you do, ironically, you’ll get a direct bolt of communication from God Herself. Now read Adolfo Quezada’s prayer: “God of the Wild, you are different from what I expected. I cannot predict you. You are too free to be captured for

I can’t find you in the sentimentalism of religion. You are everywhere I least expect to find you. You are not the force that saves me from the pain of living; you are the force that brings me life even in the midst of pain.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s your dream dictionary for the coming week. If you have a dream of walking through the mist at dawn and coming upon flamingos nesting in a rusty red 1959 Cadillac convertible in a junkyard, it means you should expand your ideas about where you might find beauty. A dream of baking a birthday cake for Buddha in the kitchen of a ship passing through the Panama Canal means you’re primed to upgrade your skill at expressing generosity. A dream of finding traces of marijuana in a 17th-century pipe found in the house where William Shakespeare lived means you should rethink your ideas about where your best inspiration comes from. A dream of a driver who doesn’t use his turn signal means you shouldn’t follow anyone too closely. (P.S. Even if you don’t have the dreams I described, you should still heed the counsel they provide.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the beginning of the upside-down and backwards time of year for you, Sagittarius. As long as you cooperate with the unusual flow of fate, you will thrive. Here are some exercises to get you in the proper frame of mind: Picture yourself having the body of the opposite gender. Hold a pen with your nondominant hand as you write about your taboo fantasies. Gaze at yourself in a mirror that reflects your image from another mirror. Consider the possibility that there’s something you really need but you don’t know what it is. Make up a dream in which you change into an animal. Compose a prayer in which you ask for something you think you’re not supposed to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

are planted is less than top quality. It seems that when the grapes have to work harder to flourish, they’re more robust. I foresee a similar situation for you in the coming weeks, Capricorn. The growing conditions might be less than optimal, but I bet the stuff you produce will be extraordinary.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dusty Baker, manager of baseball’s Chicago Cubs, got frustrated with the numerous health problems of his players and how long it was taking for them to recover. Turning to alternate approaches, he acquired some holy water and applied it to selected injuries. “I just hope my sinning doesn’t negate the effectiveness of it,” he agonized. If he had only consulted the famous Chicago-area medical intuitive Caroline Myss, he wouldn’t have worried. She has made it clear that one doesn’t have to be a highly evolved paragon of enlightenment in order to ease suffering and bestow blessings. Let that be your watchword in the coming week, Aquarius. You will have enormous powers to help and heal, even if a couple of your flaws might be hanging out.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): I am absolutely democratic and nonhierarchical. In my view, no one is more important than anyone else in the big scheme of things. God has an equal love for Paris Hilton, the Dalai Lama and Ahmed, the clerk at the convenience store where I buy gas. Every single person’s role is crucial to the unfolding of evolution. I urge you to meditate on the possibility that this perspective is true, Pisces. Be especially eager to discover what it might mean for how you live your life from day to day. Here’s one implication, articulated by Martin Luther King, Jr.: “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

Viticulturalists have noticed that wine often tastes better if the soil where the grapevines

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, For some time I’ve been casually dating “Elmira.” She’s physically stunning and very sexy, and I had been hoping to take things to the next level. Recently, though, a friend who works with her, and is unaware of our relationship, complained to me about Elmira’s behavior at the law firm where they both work. Apparently Elmira regularly swipes other people’s food from the fridge, “forgets” to relay phone messages, clogs up public spaces with her personal belongings, and takes credit for the achievements of others. Since hearing these things, my attraction to Elmira has dried up. What’s wrong with me? Wilted in Williston Dear Wilted, Wrong with you? Nothing, as far as I can tell. Your libido has come to the verdict your brain has yet to decide. As good as Elmira might look, her inconsiderate and selfish behavior on the job suggest her prospects for a sustaining a successful long-term partnership are poor. Provided you trust your friend’s charges beyond a reasonable doubt, you should thank him for providing the evidence you might not have gathered on your own until it was too late. Love, Lola
