WHY WE'RE THERE Swapping sea stories on the exis tence of North Vietnamese patrol boats in the Gulf of Tonkin in the pages of Seven Days is taking on a semblance to the close quar ters positioning in the Americas Cup race. Peter Freyne moved to suck the wind out of my sails in the last quarter of the September 17 “Inside Track” with the subtitie, “H alfTruth Doesn’t Cut It.” Previously I pointed out that the USS Maddox was attacked (in international waters) on August 2, 1964. Peter focused on the false alarm incident of August 4th to declare that the North Vietnamese patrol boats did not exist. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed August 7th. Peter told half the story and I subsequendy told„the rest. In his “HalfTruth Doesn’t Cut It,” Peter demonstrated a seafarer’s instinct for damage control and an adroit use of the chain of command by calling upon the Department pf the - 1 Navy’s senior historian. Sounding like an air jock, Peter went so far as to invoke a 2001 quote and the persona of Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, now 78 years of age, a veteran of 200

missions over Vietnam and cele brated hero POW. I have to won der how Peter would have ma ligned Vice Admiral Stockdale’s positions if he had been success ful in his former bid for the vice presidency. In arguments of the day, Peter ought to move up the timeline from Vietnam. The stories that came out of Iraq this year include millions of dollars being discovered hidden in walls and in a carousel, the story of a man who hid in a wall for 20 years, and the story of priceless artifacts being found in a vault hidden below flowing sewer water. What Peter wants is instant results on the Iraqi W M D subject; mean while, back home, he thrashes around blindly for the pinata that’s full of bad news for the Bush Administration. Instead, maybe Peter could provide an update on the justconcluded British government’s Hutton Inquiry and the BBC’s claim that it& government had “sexed-up” the Iraqi “dossier” by adding that Iraq’s military forces could launch a “bio-weapon” attack in 45 minutes. This too may be out of character for Mr. Freyne.

There’s 9/11 and then there is 10/4, the second anniversary of the first fatal anthrax victim of 2001. Finding the source o£a biological weapons release after the fact just might be like trying to find the bird that shat on your windshield. We needed to reduce the potential of a source nation and that’s just one reason why we are in Iraq. Roger Donegan HINESBURG

PANTS ON FIRE In 1937 Ernest Hemingway told the Second American Writers Congress that “Fascism is a lie told by bullies.” Yes. Lies and slogans justified Mussolini in North Africa, and Hitler in t Czechoslo-vakia, Poland and France, Johnson in Vietnam and Reagan’s illegal adventurism in 1 Nicaragua. Now Bush and his | friends charge along in their jrt^decessors’ footsteps [“Crank Call,” October 1]. a Bigh' and his cronies no more understand their rhetorical adventurism than a schoolyard bully his taste for being feared. Where they are going they have { no idea. It is true that the curretti administration is often accused

of governing by ideology, but I disagree. Bush and his colleagues are not ideologues; they lack the capacity to entertain ideas. Their great talent is for turning their impulses into slogans which would require us, as Patriots, to assent to war as peace, peace as cowardice, dissent treason, defense attack, attack prevention,

escalation restraint, and so on. The identity of opposites is the characteristic linguistic perver sion of governments as well as of terrorists. Meanwhile, the consequences do not remain to be seen — they are no abstractions, but visible every morning-on C N N when the Defense Department pro

SIGNING OFF Seven Days’ recent coverage of Project Censored’s recent top 10 under-reported news stories [“Project Censored,” September 24] reinforces this papers wel

come role as an alternative to mainstream corporate media. However, one of the stories included on Censored s list pro vides false information. In the seventh least-publicized story, Project Censored accuses the United States of violating inter national treaties to which she is a “signatory.” However, of the nine treaties, the United States is not in fact a “signatory” of four, and therefore not obliged to abide by their rules. Three of theses treaties, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, The Rome International Crim inal Court and the Kyoto Pro tocol, were all signed by Pres ident Clinton, but none were summarily ratified by the United States Senate. Further, The Treaty Banning Antipersonnel Mines was never signed by an American president. According to Article II, Section 2, of the U.S. Con stitution, the President “shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.” This provision not only allows a further institution of checks and balances between the

legislative and executive branches of federal government, but ensures that Congress, the Peoples House, maintains a strong role in forming U.S. for eign policy, a role it exercised when it overwhelmingly and with bipartisan support author ized the use of force in Iraq last year. The Seven Days article that published the group’s findings highlighted these four treaties in particular as examples of America’s disregard of international coopera tion. Project Censored’s Web site, however, highlights the treaties that America actually has violated, as well as those listed above. These include disarmament restrictions under the Non-Proliferation Act and, of course, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, from which President Bush unilaterally removed the United States. The Web site also relates the unprece dented step taken by President Bush to “unsign” President Clinton’s signature from the treaty forming the International Crim inal Court.

he oddest thing about Fred Tuttle passing away last weekend was that, even in dying, the Tunbridge farmer-actor made a lot of people feel good inside. Fred was 84. He was out digging potatoes on Saturday, the day his heart finally started giving out on him. Usually there’s sadness in death. But Fred’s dying was different because it caused so many to remember the man, the charac ter, the curmudgeon on crutches, who made it to the Jay Leno show way before Howard Dean did. Time magazine took Fred’s story national in 1998. This week, The New York Times ran a long and admir ing obituary. As the one-of-a-kind star of John O'Brien’s film Man With a Plan, Fred brought laughter to many people who’ve never been to the Green Mountains. The

President George W. Bush’s request for $87 billion to “rebuild” the Arab country he obsessively invaded. Given the ultimate sacrifice paid, so far, by 300 young American soldiers and their families, Sanders wondered aloud why the “richest 1 or 2 percent,” who were just handed “huge” tax reductions by Mr. Bush, couldn’t be tapped for the Iraq rebuild. But when the subject of Fred Tuttle’s death was mentioned, Sanders’ mood changed. A warm, wide smile spread across Bernie’s face. “I thought the movie Man With a Plan was brilliant,” said Sanders. “I thought it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I cracked up when I saw it. “Fred was a wonderful man who really did represent a lot of what his generation in Vermont was about. Those folks are dying

----------film was true to Fred and the lives of the oldest generation among us. The life of milking cows on hardscrabble hillside farms; the life of dirt roads and wild strawberries; the life with the “you can’t get there from here” worldview. Fred’s run for the Republican nomina tion for the U.S. Senate in 1998 started as a publicity stunt but ended up with a message — Vermont is not for sale! The Man With a Plans candidacy upset the plan of another man, an unknown, untested Massachusetts multimillionaire who’d never before voted in Vermont. Jack McMullen shelled out almost $300,000 of his own money on the race. Fred coughed up just $13 for one tiny print advertisement that ran in Seven Days next to this column. Fred won. Talk about a feel-good election, eh? Never has money in politics been rendered so impotent. In modern times, only two Vermonters have been so beloved by so many that they’re on a first-name basis with the popu lace. One was Fred. The other is Bernie. Monday morning, the day after Fred’s death, Congressman Bem ie Sanders held a press conference on the deadly serious topic of the Bush administrations Iraq deba cle. Bernie declared he would vote against J

off,” lamented Bernie, “and they’re missed very much. They had some wonderful, won derful qualities as human beings, down-toearth people. Practical people. Very good people.” They’re also the people that Vermont’s political champion of the little guy has grown close to over the years. “It’s a very good thing,” said Sanders, “that in the last five or six years of his life, he was able to do what he did.” We’ll always remember Fred sitting at Three Needs, a pub on College Street in Burlington, with a line of pretty young women waiting for the chance to be pho tographed sitting on his lap and giving him a smooch. It was a Vermont farm boy’s dream come true. “Fred was a very smart man and a very wonderful man,” said OF Bernardo, “and we’re going to miss him very, very much.” John the Tunbridge filmmaker and sheep farmer had a particularly poignant message on his answering machine Tuesday. Mr. O ’Brien quoted Winston Churchill: “I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is ready for the great ordeal of meet ing me is another matter.” We trust that wherever Fred Tuttle is today, the rest of us will someday, somehow, INSIDE TRACK »

Curses, Foiled Again while Ben N. Rogozensky, 31, was awaiting a hear ing at the DeKalb County, Georgia, courthouse after being arrested, he asked to use the bathroom. From there, he climbed into the ceiling crawl space and tried to escape. The attempt ended when the barefoot prisoner crashed through the courtroom ceiling and landed in State Court Judge J. Antonio DelCampo’s chambers. The judge was in the courtroom, but a technician who was fixing the judges computer called securi ty to apprehend the errant Rogozensky. • German police reported that a 42-yearold man tried a smash-and-grab robbery

problem with body odor, despite repeat ed counseling. “They were stymied,” city attorney Susan McGannon said, explain ing that the ban on odors resulting from a lack of good hygiene or excessive use of cologne or aftershave “further details the city’s authority.” • When Missouri’s Kansas City Public Library announced during its annual food drive that each can or package of food donated would reduce fines for overdue books by $ 1, a patron named Muhammad brought in 600 packages of ramen noodles. Since he owed only $100, he asked the library to apply the other $300 to the fines of anyone else

Between a Rock and a Hard Thing After fighting a seven-year bat tle to be able to receive a monthly sex allowance from the government, a dis abled Dutch man complained that now he can’t find a prostitute willing to take his money. According to De Telegraaf newspaper, the man is entitled to be reimbursed by his local council for up to $ 130 a month spent on sex workers, but he said none of the prostitutes he approached would provide the receipt he needs in order to get his money because they are worried about declaring any taxable income to the government.

Read th e Fine Print After John Bothe lost his job as track announcer at Batavia Downs in upstate New York, he paid a local radio station $1000 to let him host a Saturday sports show. The state Labor Department declared that the unpaid appearance qualified as work and denied him further unemployment benefits. It also insisted that he return $605 he already collected. Bothe said labor officials explained that conditions for benefits state that the person receiv ing them must report “any activity that brings in or may bring in income at any time.” He conceded that he bought the airtime to improve his chances of find ing a paying radio job. Democracy in Action w hen Laura J. Bertelli, a member of the Longmeadow, Massachusetts. School Committee wouldn’t sit in her assigned seat, Chairwoman Mary Ryan-Kusiak adjourned the meeting less than a minute after convening it. “It was about the refusal of one school committee member to follow rules that protect the school system, the meetings and the public’s trust,” Ryan-Kusiak said. “It’s not about where she sat.” Way to Go Christopher Peers, 49, killed himself by tying a 3-foot steel walking machine to himself and jump ing from the 21st floor of hotel in Pattaya, Thailand. “Tying himself to the exercise machine shows it was not a cry for help,” the coroner in Dorset, England, where Peers was from, told the inquest that ruled his death a suicide.

“The consequences of his actions were inevitable.”

Death W ishes while Misty Quackenbush, 27, was free awaiting sen tencing on drug charges in Durango, Colorado, she faked her own death by putting her identification in an aban doned pickup truck and dousing the truck with blood. Four weeks later, she was arrested 600 miles away in Sham rock, Texas, after Brandon Brown, a childhood friend of hers from Cortez, Colorado, recognized her. Brown, who had read about Quackenbush’s death in the Cortez Joumats online edition, was on patrol with a Texas sheriff’s depart ment in Shamrock when he spotted her. “Her comment to me was, ‘I must have been meant to get caught, because what are the odds?”’ Brown said. • Authorities in Washington County, Minnesota, said that Robert Michael Mathison, 50, placed a fake obituary in the St. Paul Pioneer Press to avoid appearing in court on assault and other charges. Instead of dismissing the charges against Mathison, who has a his tory of faking heart attacks, a judge added the obituary to the court file. He was arrested a month after the obituary appeared. “People come up with great excuses why they can’t make it to court,” said State Trooper Glen Knippenberg, the original arresting officer. Meanwhile, the Pioneer Press admitted that it didn’t verify the death before publishing the obituary, adding that the obituary bill was never paid. ®

e’ve all driven past highway construction signs that boldly proclaim, “Your tax dol lars at work.” But rarely do those signs appear next to new strip malls or housing developments, even when taxpayers pick up the tab for the new roads, sewer lines and fire hydrants that serve them. Often overlooked in discussions about sprawl is the fact that our tax dollars and the state agencies that spend them are also complicit in the steady'erosion of Vermont’s rural character. This week, Vermonters will get a much clearer picture of where they’re footing the bill for sprawl, as Burlington hosts “The State of the States on Smart Growth.” The one-day conference, sponsored by the Vermont Smart Growth Collaborative, brings together smart-growth heavyweights from around the country to swap stories and strategies for revitalizing downtowns and protecting farmlands, forests and com-

munities. Insiders have nicknamed the event “Sprawlpalooza.” To kick off the conference, the Vermont Forum on Sprawl is releasing the findings of its new report about the relationship between public policy and sprawl. Researchers reviewed five years of public projects conducted by eight state agencies under the Dean administration. Reportedly the first of its kind in the nation, the analysis looked at how public investments in schools, highways, housing, sewer expansions and so on helped or hin dered smart growth in, Vermont. Research ers even measured the sprawl-inducing . effects of Act 250, developers’ favorite anti growth bogeyman. Among the scheduled speakers at the Oct, 9 conference are Governor Jim Douglas, Mayor Peter Clavelle and former Maryland Governor Parris Glendening. The father of “smart growth” — he report edly coined the term — Glendening made sprawl reduction a top priority of his administration. As anyone who has driven across Maryland knows, that was no minor undertaking. Glendening now heads the Smart Growth Leadership Institute, a national coalition trying to slow the national paradigm shift of land use from cows to condos. The timing and location of this year’s conference are serendipitous, as the city of Burlington itself is rethinking its own use of space. It’s no exaggeration to say that the zoning ordinance revisions now under consideration will have dramatic repercus sions on what the Queen City looks like in the next 20 years. And, apparently, not

everyone is thrilled with the blueprints now on the table. Yves Bradley owns The Body Shop on Church Street and serves on a half-dozen or so committees and nonprofit boards, from the Burlington Police Commission to Preservation Burlington. He is astounded there hasn’t been more vigorous debate over the Legacy Project recommendation to grow the Queen City by 20,000 people in the next 10 years. Bradley is troubled by what this rapid growth would mean, espe cially if the target population is lowincome. “Am I against poor people? No!” Bradley insists. “What I am for is raising the standard for the people who are here. We’re talking about increasing the popula tion of the city by 50 percent in the highest-demand population, when we can bare ly meet the service needs we have now.” Though smart-growth advocates pro mote “urban infill” — growing a city by increasing its density rather than by pro moting sprawl — Bradley contends that adding 20,000 more people will only stress an aging housing base—And at a time when many residents already live in squalor, the city has only limited resources to enforce its housing codes, he argues. “We’ve got the middle class just fleeing this city because they can’t find a place to live,” Bradley says. “We’re losing families, it’s impacting schools, it’s why traffic and parking are a nightmare, property taxes keep going up, you name it.” Though it would be easy to assume that attitudes about urban infill divide along socioeconomic lines, the truth may be a bit more complicated. Dave Berezniak is a longtime resident of the Old North End. Though he’s neither an attorney nor an activist, he spent $150 of his own money last week to appeal a decision by the Burlington Development Review Board approving a 27-unit, low-income housing project at 102 Archibald Street. No, it’s not the “low-income” character of the housing that troubles Berezniak and many of his neighbors — many of whom also fit that description. What irks them is that city codes say a housing project of that size calls for 60 parking spaces, but the review board granted the project a 30space parking waiver. Why? As one neigh bor suggested, it’s because the city assumes low-income residents don’t own cars. If so, that’s a bold assumption in a neighborhood where finding parking is a daily chore. “No one is saying don’t build new hous ing,” says Berezniak, who filed the appeal with the Vermont Environmental Court in Barre: “We re just saying, scale back the project and make it fit the lot.” At least 80 other residents have signed a petition opposing the size of the project as well, Berezniak says. Meanwhile, city officials won’t say much about it now that it’s under appeal. Perhaps some of those smart-growth experts in town this week have a solution for this one? ®

THE PUZZLE•

As you can guess frotn her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that 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.) Testy I.C. Cunck lowered the temperature of every room she entered. The town's most disreputable girl scout was C.D. Setchinfess. Professor S.A. Kock assigned hard writing assignments to his students. No one more resembled a jolly bovine than grinning L.C. Iggins. The demise of the bison brought tears to the eyes of T.P. Headfeather. Bard buff K.C. Kitawney often recited poems about train wrecks. A sought-after party girl, E.Z. Eckstein eagerly entertained the boys. N.E. Applebuff was strangely fascinated by insufficient quantities. He weighed 485 pounds, but G.O. pelliman insisted on driving a Metro. I.V. Echt bragged about having degrees from both Harvard and Princeton.

Email me with your questions or comments: ddart@aol.com. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: 2 ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10. I f you’re stuck, see the H IN T printed sideways on this page. I f you cave, see the ANSWER on page 12a. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set o f likes and dislikes.

The newly married couple could buy some hot dogs and make out during the show. How’s that for sage advice? “So what exactly are you afraid of?” I asked the groom. The guy threw me a look like I was out of my mind. “Are you nuts? What ‘exactly’ am I afraid of?” “Yeah, I know — marriage. But ya gotta break it down a little. Is it the dayto-day, the lifelong commitment, the fear of failure?

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

D ear Cecil, The death of,a hardpartyer a t a nightclub a w hile back sparked a lot o f news coverage. The guy overdosed on Special K a n d ecstasy. O ne article in the tabloids stated th a t the corpse’s tem perature was 104 degrees three hours after death. W hat I ’d like to know is: H ow could the victim s’ body stay w arm fo r three hours after his dem ise? I f in fa c t the corpse cooled o ff during th a t tim e, good L ord w hat could the guy’s tem perature have been when he died? — A rlene B urke Jam aica, N ew York I know w hat you’re thinking: U rban legend. I confess th at’s w hat I th ought, until I rem em bered an article th at appeared on the S traight D ope W eb site a couple years ago courtesy o f tru st ed friend-of-science Hawkeye, in real life a forensic biologist. H aw k had w ritten th at frighteningly high (and often fatal) body tem peratures due to drug use were entirely plausible. T h in k in g perhaps th at he m ight’ve learned som ething since then that w ould cast do u b t on this conclusion, I called H aw k to check. Answer: N o. O n the contrary — this bizarre p h en o m enon really happens. Ecstasy im pairs the body’s ability to regulate tem perature and can cause a condition know n as hypertherm ia o r hyperpyrex ia. In a G erm an m edical journal earlier this year doctors told o f a 21 -year-old m an w ho to o k a suicidal dose o f ecstasy, forftially know n as 3,4-m ethylenedioxym etham phetam ine (M D M A for short). T h e p atien t’s body tem perature topped 109 degrees — and this guy lived (albeit w ith im m ediate m edical assistance). Some ecstasy users don’t — including quite a few w ho aren’t trying to kill themselves. According to another journal article, at least 87 ecstasyrelated deaths had been reported as o f 2001. H aw k tells m e th at body tem perature at the tim e o f those deaths cou ld ’ve been as high as 117 — a tem perature o f 115 has been confirm ed. Even if we assum e a m ore conservative 109 at the decisive m om ent, a corpse cools at roughly 1.5 degrees per h o u r — slow enough th at a tem perature o f 104 three hours later is about right. To be fair, n o t all ecstasy deaths result from hyperpyrexia. O th e r causes o f death include rhabdom yolysis (toxic m uscle

breakdow n), kidney an d liver failure, cardiac arrhythm ia, blood clotting leading to hem orrhage an d stroke and accidents or sui cides while u n d er the influence. C o n trib u tin g factors can include hyponatrem ia (low blood sodium ) and cerebral edem a (brain swelling) caused by a com bination o f heavy sw eating and excessive w ater consum ption. You m ay say 87 deaths, considering the m illions w ho’ve used ecstasy, is a pretty low m ortality rate. True enough. Serious adverse reactions to the d ru g are infrequent, b u t they’re also unpredictable and som etim es spectacular. (C ooking yourself from the inside is nobody’s idea o f a fun n ight out.) Claim s o f harm related to chronic use rem ain controversial — one study reporting th at ecstasy caused brain dam age in lab anim als was retracted recently after researchers found they’d fed th e critters th e w rong sirag . t *«•' " * - ~ “ But there’s still plenty o f evidence suggesting th at ecstasy is bad news. It causes th e b rain to flood w ith serotonin an d other neurotransm itters by interfering w ith the usual reuptake m ech anisms, and som e th in k it m ay com prom ise your ability to process serotonin naturally. Research also suggests th at ecstasy abuse can lead to o th er long-term neurological deficits, includ ing problem s w ith m em ory, learning ability, sleep patterns and appetite. ~ A ssum ing n o n e o f this fazes you — an d I confess that, in m y youth, dire w arnings never got m e to switch to lem onade — take som e elem entary precautions: Keep cool (n o t easy to do in a crowded club, I realize), consum e fluids in m oderation (sports drinks are b etter th an water), an d seek m edical atten tio n at once should it daw n on you th at you’re n o t feeling all th at ecstatic.

Our organization promotes the natural child, in both girls and boys; and, as much emphasis, if not more, is placed on the “inner beauty” of the children.

I am neither humored, nor am I interested in having any further discussion or involvement in this matter.

Speaking of McMullen — O f Jack has started fundraising for his second run at Sen. Patrick Leahy. He’s back! Yours truly got a call early Monday morning from a local Fred Tuttle fan, a bit teed off to see Jack McMullen and a camera crew videotaping him in front of Burlington City Hall. How unseemly to be shooting a cam paign commercial the day after Fred died, right? We quickly hopped on the two wheeler to check it out. Turned out it wasn’t a campaign commer cial but a new documentary series on lesser-known figures in Vermont history. It’s produced by the Verde Group, formerly of the Big Apple. Mr. McMullen was serving as host of the first episode on former Burlington mayor Dr. Clarence Beecher, 1925-29, known as “Beecher the Builder.” Verde Group president and executive producer Denis O'Brien is a talented South Burlington native. His wife, Isela Marin, a native of Belize, is Verde’s CEO. The two won an Emmy for their commercial work (www.verde group.com). In the post-9/11 world, said Ms. Marin, they decid ed living in Vermont beat the hell out of living in Manhattan. According to Isela, McMullen was one of the first investors in their “Vermont Citizen” history project. They’re hoping Vermont Public Television picks up the series. ; „ McMu|len, however, told us the following day that he was not an ' “investor.” “I lent them some money,” said Jack, “to be paid back out of the profits of the enterprise.” As for Fred’s death on Sunday, Mr. McMullen told Seven Days, “It was sad to see Fred’s passing. Despite getting some pretty heavy ribbing on the farm quiz [a refer ence to their 1998 VPR debate when Fred asked Jack how many teats were on a cow and Jack answered six instead of four], Fred was a good guy. We all should live life so, fully as we approach the end.” Amen. Mary Fanny Spanked — Acting U.S. Attorney David Kirby said Monday the settlement agreement reached in the Fletcher Allen crim inal investigation was both “fair” and “balanced.” The deal came down to a $ 1 million fine and no criminal prose cution of the hospital for the lies of its former white-collar leaders regarding the gazillion-dollar Renaissance expansion project. Funny, but legendary blue-col lar Vermont hash smugglers Billy Greer and Stephen Hutchins also got a $ 1 million fine ($500,000 each). Wavy Davy pas sionately prosecuted the case. O f course, Billy and Steve got about 20 years behind bars, too. Until Mr. Kirby frog-marches former CEO Bill Boettcher and a couple of his cronies-in-crime into the same courtroom where he marched Greer and Hutchins, pub lic confidence in our federal prose cutor’s office will be less than what it should be.

Backus Comeback — Former State Sen. Jan Backus of Winooski came out of the political closet last week. Jan of Arc let it be known she has her eye on the Democratic nomination for lieu tenant governor. Ms. Backus paid her dues under Montpeculiar’s golden dome, rep resenting both ends of the state in the Senate: Windham County and then Chittenden County. Twice she took a shot at the U.S. Senate and lost. Jan jumps in just as five-term State Rep. John Tracy of Burlington jumps out. Tracy had been thinking about a run for Gov-Lite but told Seven Days this week that, after talking it over with family and friends, he’s decided to run for reelection to the House. Other names mentioned in Democrat circles about possible bids for Gov-Lite include Windsor County State Sen. John Campbell and former State Sen. Cheryl Rivers. But the race is a bit dicey for Dems, since everyone’s concerned that the Progressive Party will put up Anthony Pollina again, split the left and thereby guarantee Republican incumbent Brian Dubie a second term. “I hope that the Progressives don’t [run Pollina],” Ms. Backus told Seven Days. Backus called her self a “progressive Democrat with a small ‘p.’” “I intend to reach out to Progressives,” she said, “to talk to them so that they understand my voting record matches up with the kinds of things they’re talking about.” ? \A realistic approach, eh? “The race is against Brian Dubie,” said Jan of Arc. She described Doobie-Doo as “a very nice guy,” but noted the American Airlines pilot “has a lot of rightwing conservative friends.” The lieutenant governor’s sole responsibility is to preside over the Senate when it’s in session. The Gov-Lite only gets to vote when there’s a tie that needs breaking. Dubie has expanded that historic role in the 21st century to include standing silently, like a praetorian guard, behind Jim Douglas at the Gov’s weekly press conferences. In the case of breaking a tie vote in the Senate, asked Backus, “Who would you rather have? A progressive Democrat or a rightwing conservative?” Backus is coming off the politi cal bench after two statewide defeats, but she certainly was pumped up after Monday night’s American League playoff game. “If the Red Sox can do it,” said Jan of Arc, “so can I!” Battling Barnett — Vermont Republican Party chairman Jim Barnett kicked up the dust on VPR’s “Switchboard” last week, appearing with the chairs of the Democrat and Progressive parties. The twentysomething GOP strate gic whiz kid launched a full-frontal assault on Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle’s gubernatorial bid as a Democrat. Barnett dubbed Mayor Moonie “an angry socialist” who learned his politics at the knee of Bernie the Socialist! Prog Chair Martha Abbott politely pointed out to young James that Clavelle actually got his

A couple days, later, Clavelle made a surprise visit to GOP headquarters in Montpeculiar to ask Barnett if he really looked like an angry socialist. Barnett told the affable Clavelle, “Well, you don’t look angry.” Clearly the Barnett strategy is to paint Mayor Moonie as an extreme left-wing radical. Asked what he saw in Clavelle’s long record as Burlington’s mayor that justifies the “extremist” label, Barnett replied, “There will be plenty of time to examine Peter Clavelle’s record in Burlington.” P.S. According to Young James, the Vermont GOP has yet to finalize plans for their big fall fundraising dinner. No date has even been set yet, as the party tries to line up “a very prominent speaker.” “Rush Limbaugh?” we asked. “Probably not,” replied Barnett with a chuckle. Damn. Not enough black quarterbacks in Vermont to attract Limbaugh’s interest, eh?

Media Notes — Kudos to Ch. 5 for going live with Monday’s Fletcher Allen press conference at Burlington’s Costello Courthouse on Cherry Street. WPTZ News Director Andy Wormser told Seven Days the announcement about develop ments in the criminal investiga tion into Vermont’s largest finan cial scandal “was an important (story for people to know‘about.” Ch. 5 and its sister station WNNE in White River Junction interrupted the NBC network broadcast of the popular soap opera “Days of Our Lives” to air the courthouse news conference. “When your motto is ‘Where the News Comes First,”’ said Wormser, “this is what people expect.” Ch. 5 did receive “a couple complaints” from soap viewers, Andy said. “We’re certainly sensi tive to that,” he added, “but we felt on this occasion, where it was big news, we were not going to wait until 5 to report it.” In other local TV news, former Ch. 22 anchor Lara Yamada has landed on her feet. Yamada told Seven Days she’s been hired as an anchor-reporter by the Fox/UPN TV operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. You’ll recall that WVNY, our local ABC affiliate, threw in the towel and shut down its news oper ation a month ago. Ms. Yamada, a Hawaii native, definitely impressed during her stint in Vermont, and Vermont definitely impressed Lara. “As the Green Mountain State blends into the past,” wrote Lara in an email, “my husband and I look back with a pain in our heart. We met great people in Vermont — people we expect to be friends with for a long time. The more we travel, the more we realize Vermont’s a special place.” Our bet is, the bright and tal ented Yamada will be snapped up by a national network within two years. That way, her fans back home in Hawaii and Vermont will be able to watch her on a regular basis.©

Which, be^ the question: Just how safe is this sport, anyway? “Very few people have been seriously injured in fencing,” says Knapp. “And I’ve heard that only three people have died while fencing, since 1920.” With the protective gear, the design of the blade and the decorum of fencers, the sport is said to be

safer than golf, and the injuries tend to be more cos metic than serious casualties. “Scratches, black-andblue marks,” says Knapp. “But we call them trophies. That way, in a tournament, everyone goes home with a trophy.” At a fencing class the day after the tournament, Erin Burk, 17 and clad in green gym shorts, seems to want a few more “trophies.” A former ballet dancer, she makes the 43-minute trip from her home in Stowe to take lessons in Burlington. “It’s a romantic sport,” she says. “It has such an elegance, and is very dignified. Anyone I tell that I fence, they’re immedi ately intrigued.” American women fencers have begun to dominate the sport’s headlines, with women’s sabre set to debut at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The Green Moun tain Division boasts Viveka Fox, a former all-Ivy fencer and North Atlantic foil champion, and increas ing numbers of women are showing up at classes and tournaments. “Sometimes it’s hard to get girls interest ed,” admits Burk. “I think it’s much more appealing to men because of the idea of a sword. They’re like ‘woo-hoo, look at me, I’ve got a sword! ” Which is exactly how I feel after some accelerated instruction from Knapp. Typically, a beginning fencer practices footwork, balance and hand positions for weeks before moving onto the blade work. If you practice twice a week, you should be ready to com pete in just a few months. “Fencing is a game of the mind and body melded,” says Knapp. “And when you get to the competitive level of fencing, you can’t think. Your body has to know what it’s doing and just do it.” ®

hat Became of Peter’s Dream?” is the beguiling but ultimately unanswerable question posed by the exhibit recently opened at Middlebury College Center for the Arts. The rest of its title is “Petersburg in History and the Arts,” and it is part of the larger, semesterlong Clifford Symposium commemo rating the 300th anniversary of the Russian city of St. Petersburg. The event kicked off on September 18 with a series of lectures, panel dis cussions, a concert of Russian music featuring cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han, and a screening of Alexander Sokurov’s Russian Ark. Shot entirely in the Hermitage Museum, the new film provides a 90-minute glimpse of Russian history in one astonishing, uninterrupted take. Since 1993, the Clifford Sympo sium, named for retired history profes sor Nicholas R. Clifford, has tradition ally opened Middlebury’s academic year by selecting a single historical topic “that can be approached from the per spective of a number of disciplines:” visual, documentary, theoretical and so on. In the case of St. Petersburg — called Leningrad by the Soviets and, briefly, Petrograd by the tsars — you need to add music, theater, dance and the fine arts. Not to mention “murders and adultery, blood and mud, the block, the rope and poison,” what the

last French ambassador to tsarist Russia called “the true emblems of Russian autocracy.” “When speaking about Russia,” said the philosopher Chaadayev, Pushkin’s teacher and a man declared insane by the tsarist regime for asking too many questions, “people always assume that they are speaking of a state which is similar to others. In actual fact this is not true at all,” he continued. “Russia is an entirely special world, obedient to the will, arbitrariness and fantasy of one man. Whether he be called Peter or Ivan is of no import: In all cases it is the same — arbitrary rule personified.” Chaadayev wrote these words in 1836, some time after Petersburg’s first centenary atid four generations after . Peter the Great first opened his “Window on the West.” It was artifi cial, sui generis, willed to exist on a fumy, fetid, mosquito-ridden swamp where the Neva River meets the Gulf of Finland. No one had ever thought of putting down roots until Peter said they had to. The tsar needed a port for his expanding trade with Europe and as a defense in Russia’s Great Northern War with the Swedes; the first stone of what is now the Peter and Paul Fortress was laid on May 16, 1703, and within a decade St. Petersburg was born. “Sankt Pieter Burkh,” as it was first called, was

a tribute both to Peter’s patron saint and to the Dutch seafarers and ship builders whose industry he so greatly admired. “St. Petersburg is a Russian pyra mid,” said the poet Yevtushenko, by which he meant that it was built on the backs of slaves and that none of the materials required for its construction are found anywhere in the natural envi rons of the city. The story is told of workers from the countryside bearing loads of dirt on their pummeled backs and then being buried in the ground they carried when at length they died from exhaustion. Tens of thousands of people, possi bly hundreds of thousands, are sup posed to have perished during the rais ing of the city. Floods and fires were an everyday menace, and if you weren’t carried off by scurvy or malaria, there were wolves in the streets to make you wish you’d stayed in Moscow. So many people died to give Peter his city — the “Venice of the North” it’s also called, as well as “Northern Palmyra” and “Babylon of the Snows” — that St. Petersburg is still referred to among Russians as a city “built on bones.” The tsarist capital was founded “in principle,” said Dostoyevsky, “in contrast with Moscow and its entire concept,” and the important thing to remember about the “Window” idea is

that it looked in only one direction — out. Petersburg was the face, the mind, the brain and the style of the Russian empire, until the Soviets, during the civil war in 1918, moved the capital back to Moscow and banished “Leningrad” to an incongruous, Viennalike existence on the fringes of national life. Like Austria after the fall of the Hapsburgs, Peters creation was suddenly irrelevant, all head and no rump, a “City of Palaces” with nothing to rule. The exhibit now on display at Middlebury glitters and flashes quiet lights of fire under the expert hands of museum designer Kenneth Pohlman and Anne Odom, curator emerita of the Hillwood Museum in Washington, D.C. It focuses on the celebration of the city’s second hundred years in 1903 — the last, peaceful years of its history under the reign of Nicholas II, before “Bloody Sunday,” the First World War and the Bolshevik takeover of 1917. Included are paintings, drawings, photographs, portraits, ceremonial and religious objects and “luxurious household items,” as the catalogue states, some of them designed by Faberge and once belonging to the Russian imperial family. These items have come to Middle bury from two sources. The Hillwood

Museum is the former home of cereal heiress Marjorie Merriwether Post — yes, as in Post Toasties — which today houses the largest collection of 18thand 19th-century Russian imperial art outside of Russia. Among Post’s many marriages was one to Joseph E. Davies, an early ambassador to Soviet Russia from the United States and the author of Mission to Moscow. In the early Soviet years, Russian imperial treasures were selling for a song; after her residence there, Post never ceased to add to her collection. As Odom remarks in her catalog notes, “Despite the decline of its power [in the 20th century], the artistic legacy of the tsar’s court was significant and is still wildly popular” — an understatement, given the current passion (and stagger ingly high prices) for anything related to the Russia of the tsars. But Middlebury has it own collection of Romanov memorabilia, some gifted and some on loan, that once formed part of the family treasure of the Russian Grand Duke George Mikhailovitch and his wife, Grand Duchess Marie, a daughter of the king of Greece. Both were cousins of Nicholas II. Grand Duke George was shot by the Bolsheviks in 1919, while Marie escaped to England with their two daughters, Nina and Xenia.

It was Xenia’s daughter, Woodstock resident Nancy Leeds Wynkoop, and her husband, Edward, who in 1994 present ed Middlebury College with many of the Romanov artifacts now on display. These include formal and informal por traits of the imperial family, a bowl made of bowenite, silver gilt and rubies, ivory frames from the House of Faberge, gold and silver serving utensils, vases from St. Petersburg’s Imperial Porcelain Factory, tumblers from the royal yachts — all things that used to sit rather casu ally in the Wynkoops’ Woodstock hous es and which would have been found in any Romanov household at the time of the Revolution. Indeed, what Nancy Wynkoop has called her “beloved treasures,” “most of them small and suitable for sitting out on bureaus, tabletops and desks,” were given by one Romanov to another on birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and so forth. They provide the most compelling sense of what life at the Russian court was actually like in those twilight years — more so than the larger pieces and works of art on display. Among the lat ter are drawings and paintings by Valentin Serov and Leon Bakst, leaders of Diaghilev’s “World of Art” movement at the turn o f the 20th century (with Diaghilev, Bakst was also a founder of the Ballets Russes). » 22A

The “private” pieces are more telling because they give a sense of real people, trapped in a cataclysmic upheaval and forced out of Russia more or less in their night gowns. And because nothing but a trip to St. Petersburg can give you an idea of the vast ness of the place, its sheer size and scale, and its utter incongruity in the middle of the Neva swafnp. ,, “Petersburg streets possess one indu bitable quality,” wrote Andrei Bely in his Symbolist epic, Petersburg (1914), still the most reliable guide to the secret heart of the city: “They transform passersby into shad ows.” Helpfully, in this regard, a second exhibit gives a taste, at least, of what Bely meant. Next to the exquisite imperial geegaws, soup spoons and whatnots — and actually enti tled “City of Shadows” — are photographs of contemporary St. Petersburg by Alexey Titarenko, a native who’s been photograph ing the city since his early teens. “Profoundly influenced by Dostoyevsky,” Titarenko continues in the tradition of Russian modernism with pictures, as he says, that express “his own emotions.” The cura tors add darkly that this was “a calculated risk during the Soviet era of Titarenko’s youth,” and of course it was. But the results are thrilling — haunting, dreamlike, sad and yet still hopeful, as Petersburg now slowly emerges from the Soviet nightmare and begins its long journey of reconstruction. (Z)

Ticket to Ride? Jo h n Van H azinga’s b u sin e ss is going downhill — and that’s the way he likes it

J STORY

CA TH Y RESM ER IMAGES

M A TTH EW TH O RSEN

ohn Van Hazinga has timed the stop lights on Pearl Street. When he’s in the mood for some pre-winter, dou ble-black-diamond action, he stands at the intersection of Pearl and Prospect with one foot on the ground and one foot on his long wooden skateboard. He waits for the light at Pearl and Winooski to turn red. When he sees the signal, the 26-yearold Burlington skateboarder launches down the steep slope, sailing through one green light after another. As he zooms past Willard, he knows he’s doing at least 30, the speed limit. A cop once clocked him there doing 37. If you saw Van Hazinga cruising down Pearl Street in his long-sleeved T-shirt and Bermuda shorts, you might think he was a scruffy skate bum — and, well, he is. But the bearded, 6-foot-1 ex-high school line man, known affectionately to many as “Big John,” is also an athlete, crafts man and businessman. For the past four summers, he’s been selling his handcrafted skateboards under his label, “Ridin’ High.” This past June he opened a skateboard shop of the same name on the corner of Pearl and Battery Streets. The abandoned, seedy storefront across from Battery Park has been an eyesore for years. That’s changed now that Van Hazinga and his long boards

have moved in. The windows, once covered and opaque, are now full of healthy houseplants. Seven afternoons a week, a fleet of demo boards lines the exterior wall along Pearl Street. Inside, potential customers can sign one out for a spin, or browse the shop’s selection of skateboards and skating accessories. Van Hazinga also sells T-shirts, shoes, wheels and trucks — the metal pieces that attach the wheels to the board — but the main attraction is the boards themselves. One wall of the shop is stacked high with shelves holding dozens of skateboards. “I like to get people out of their cars, out into the fresh air and rolling down a hill,” says the youthful entre preneur. For Van Hazinga, running interference between the established business community and the authori ty-questioning skateboarder subcul ture may be an even more delicate balancing act. Van Hazinga has been skateboard ing since he was 7. Born in California, he moved to Texas as a young child, then to New Jersey, and finally to Vermont after his tenthgrade year. He later attended the University of Vermont. In addition to making skateboards, he supplements his income by working as a carpenter — he built his own yurt on land he

owns in the Adirondacks. But mainly his life and his hobbies revolve around some sort of riding. In the winter it’s snowboarding. In the sum mer it’s surfing, wakeboarding and, of course, skateboarding. Before he opened for business one morning last month, Van Hazinga and I went for a couple of runs down what he calls “Mount Burlington.” He suggested we take the free-ski lift — a.k.a. the College Street Shuttle — to the top of Pearl Street and work our way back down. I hadn’t been on a skateboard since 1989, so I tagged along on my bike. Van Hazinga rode his long board. Long boards — which measure between 30 and 60 inches in length — are Van Hazinga’s niche. Sturdier and less flexible than their shorter, more popular cousins, long boards are designed for distance rather than tricks. The culture that has coalesced around them more closely resembles the snowboard and surf scenes than the hardcore, punk, short-boarder style often on display at the skate park. Van Hazinga touts long boards as an urban alternative to gas-guzzling cars and SUVs. He finds a variety of ways to demonstrate their viability. He owns an electric board that can ferry him up hills, for example, and has strapped a harness to Zoe, his

German Shepherd, so she can pull him along the straightaways. But the riding we’re doing this morning is not about transport — it’s about fun. We’re going out to “bomb hills,” to roller-surf the asphalt slopes. Van Hazinga tells me about a map of Burlington he and his friends have created on which they’ve rated the streets, using the same system devel oped by ski areas. Mansfield is a green trail. Loomis is blue. Pearl and College Streets are double-black diamonds. We’ve planned to ride down College Street, but as the shutde bus chugs up the hill, it starts to drizzle. Van Hazinga explains that we’ll have to switch to a less treacherous path. The slight rain will pick up the oils on the road and slicken the surface, making braking more difficult. He and his friends use the language of skiing to talk about long boarding, but there’s one important distinction, besides the weather conditions: When you’re bombing hills, you’re often rid ing in traffic. Skateboarding on Burlington’s high-traffic roads is legal, but danger ous. It freaks out motorists, who often eyeball speeding boarders with a mixture o f worry and contempt. Bicyclists experience a similar reac tion, but bikes are sturdier than skate boards and have real brakes. With

skateboarders, you wonder, What happens i f he falls? What i f he can’t stop in time? Why cant he go back to the skate park where he belongs? Van Hazinga is concerned about safety. He takes into account road conditions and he wears a helmet. When he rides the roads, he stays to the right,

ing precariously down the road on his back two wheels. But that’s the only trick I see him try on our downhill runs. Though his thrill-seeking might seem reckless, Van Hazinga is actually pretty careful when it comes to colliding with cars. He’s been there, done that. A car mowed him down one

to the hospital, where he stayed for 49 days. Because of his bro ken femur, he spent 42 days in traction. “Those first two days in traction were the most painful days of my life,” he says. After he left the hospital, Van Hazinga had a full leg cast for four months and a leg brace for another four. He used a wheel-

JOHN in bike lanes if they’re available, though he complains about the prevalence of boarding hazards such as sewer gates and debris. Van Hazinga still takes a few chances, though — like grab bing onto a handle on the side of a Coca-Cola truck as it passes by.

Though he was fearless in the wheelchair, it took him two years to get back on a skate board. “When you get hit by a car doing 40 mph and you lose a year of your life,” he says, “you think about that before you get on a board again.” When he did finally return to skateboarding in the early 1990s,

Van Hazinga realized the sport had changed in his absence. His skateboarding friends were more interested in doing tricks than in skating hills. “It seemed like the era of back yard skate ramps and bombing hills had faded,” he laments. “Skating parking lots, doing flip tricks and skating curbs was the new thing.” This “vertical” skating style grew out of the West Coast practice of skating drained swimming pools. Riders took to the air, practicing aerial maneuvers such as the “ollie,” a kind of skateboarding jump. Big John couldn’t ollie. Long boards first became popular in the 1960s, when the sport was young and still equated with surfing. In the 1990s, they experienced a comeback, and Van Hazinga hopped on board. He’s been riding one ever since.

Van Hazinga got into man ufacturing boards in 1997 as a result of an accident: his friend’s mom backed over his friend’s board in her car. She snapped off the board’s nose, but the rest of the deck was still intact. Van Hazinga picked up the pieces, smoothed out the tip, attached some wheels, and started his career. He now sells a “classic,” a “cruiser” and a “classic cruiser.” He also cus tom-shapes boards for his cus tomers, who cqtn find boards from a variety o f manufacturers at Ridin High. The store’s name and its pot-smoker innuendo might raise some eyebrows, and for good reason. The past three summers, Van Hazinga has been selling his boards through other stores, like Threads of Zion, Counter Culture — a tattoo and pierc ing parlor — and Vermont All Stars, a head shop that has since closed. As these locations might suggest, Van Hazinga, his product, and many of his customers are part of a subcul ture that is sometimes at odds with the mainstream. And Big John is no angel. He got into the skateboard business after he was suspend ed from UVM following an altercation. When an R.A. — Van Hazinga’s former room mate — found him drinking in the dorm and threatened to report him, Van Hazinga got angry. “I was about a handle deep in Jim Beam,” he says. He jumped off the balcony and punched out a window. He’s had other run-ins with the police, including a DUI in high school. The morning after my first visit to his shop, Van Hazinga was scheduled to appear in court to discuss a disorderly conduct charge. When he arrived at court, however, he found that the charges against him had been dropped. Though he concedes he’s had a few run-ins with the BPD, Van Hazinga reports he has little trust in the law. “I’ve

SALVING t; From Waitsfield to war-torn hot spots, a Doctors Without Borders nurse thinks locally and acts globally STORY DAMON TABOR IMAGE JORDAN SILVERMAN

S u d an , Z a m b ia , B o * n ia -H erzeg o v in a , T a jik ista n . They’re all countries the U.S. State Department has advised avoiding 3 all costs. Deb Van Dyke has called each of them “home” — at least temporarily. The 49-year-old nurse-practitioner spends about half her time caring for patients at the Mad River Valley Health rCenter in Waitsfield. But for up to six.months each year, she vt unteers for the internation^ humanitarian aid agency Medecii Sans Frontieres, or Doctors W ithout Borders. She’s watched j children die of starvation and disease in the line of duty. Hei clinics have been shelled. “I don’t know if it’s radicalized me or humanized me,” says Van Dyke, whose quiet manner and kind face belie her harsh experiences overseas. “I’ve gotten more grounded in reality.” .> Founded in 1971 by French medical doctors, M* now serves 80-plus countries and operates on a nearly half-billion-dollar budget. Currently, mofl than 2500 doctors, nurses and logistical experts are working around the globe in situations tha j range from mildly dangerous to severely per ilous. A Google search for “aid workers kille< yields hundreds of hits. MSF’s Web site lists 18 killed in 2003 alone. Arjan Erkel, a Dutch MSF volunteer working in Dagestai was kidnapped by armed gunmen in 2002. Despite intense international pressure, he has yet to be freed. Cooperating with the press isn’t part of Van Dyke’s job description. She agreed to 1 interviewed for this story only after a great deal of thought, and with considerable reluC tance! But as an MFS volunteer, speaking uf about what she sees in the field is a crucial pi of her work. In MSF-speak, it’s called temoignage, which means bearing witness to su fering that would not otherwise make the worl< radar screen. Whistle-blowing can make a dangerous job a the more so. While serving as field coordinator i a Zambian refugee camp in 2001, Van Dyke l

realized that another aid agency was skim ming food rations for profit. As a result, refugees were suffering from severe malnutri tion. When Van Dyke took her allegations to United Nations officials, she was putting her self -—.and the MSF mission — at consider able risk. Several years earner, a Jesuit Relief worker who pointed out this same malfea sance was shot in the stomach. For volunteers like Van Dyke, however, the gains far outweigh the discomfort and personal risk. “I get such satisfaction from working with local people who are in such great need,” she says. “It may be the first time in their life that someone has listened to them, cared for them, treated them. You give them hope.” These sentiments undoubtedly drive many MSF volunteers. Wherever conflict and disas ter strike, it seems, dedicated teams of healths;;: care professionals are there treating staggering numbers of people: therapists providing .. :•*counseling in Palestine; AIDS treatment pro grams in Kenya; in France — a country nof^ normally associated with hardship — social support programs for immigrants and drug addicts. Understanding the importance of preven tion, MFS also focuses on public health. Workers provide vaccinations, improve sani tation and set up water-treatment facilities. Because MFS teams are so small — staffs of just three or four serving as many as 250 patients a day — its vital to train locals to help. These people often continue to do medical work in their countries, making MSF s work more sustainable. With such an expansive reach and broad mission, you might expect MSF to be a lum bering, bureaucratic beast of an organization.

Not so. Lightning-quick and remarkably agile, the nonprofit is an aid agency Donald Rumsfeld would envy. In October 2001, vol unteers were forced to evacuate an office commandeered by the Taliban in Kandahar, Afghanistan. As soon as they .were ousted, though, IjPPrpersonnel reclaimed the office, restocked: rifliiical supplies and began rebuilding the city’s devastated infrastructure. In Iraq, surgical teams were in Baghdad’s alKindi hospital at the start of the U.S.-led war. Trucks loaded with supplies were in the city just six days after the bombing began. Despite the capture and subsequent release oi two volunteers and the evacuation of its B‘a$ra team, MSF personnel are still on the ground. This kind of dedication hasn’t gone unno ticed. In 1999, the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with a check for almost a million dollars. Citing a willfully ignorant, profit-driven pharmaceutical indus try, MSF announced it would use the money for a “Neglected Disease Fund” to treat tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness and Leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease that affects some two million people each year and is fatal if untreated. Volunteers like Van Dyke personify the organization’s commitment. But, with char, acteristic humility, she deflects the attention. “The real story,” she says, “is the life and people in these places — their courage, resilience, and love amidst it all. It’s not about me. Working with them has just given me a deeper understanding of the world and an urgency to work for something better.”

globetrotting dilettante nor a blank-eyed Birkenstocker. She’s an aid worker’s aid worker, driv en by a world-wise, field-forged philosophy of compassion and relentless determination to make the world a better place. This view permeates her life. Locally, Van Dyke is involved in the peace movement and also organized a group called the Green Mountain Global Forum, which brings in speakers to talk about international issues. Before joining MSF, Van Dyke worked with such underserved populations as inmates, immi grants, American Indians and people living in Appalachia and in inner cities. Looking at the trajectory of Van Dyke’s life, it’s not difficult to trace activist origins. She was born to a middle-class Quaker family in Michigan. Her great grandmother was a suffragist. As a child, Van Dyke often hiked in the woods with her grandfather, an experience that instilled in her a deep respect for the envi ronment. This love of nature later propelled her towards an Outward Bound program as a teenager. It was a formative experience and she credits the program with teaching her selfreliance and improvisation, skills that would later prove essential overseas. Van Dyke also came of age in the ’60s. “In that generation,” she says, “you did something for the world, rather than doing something for yourself.” It was a notion that stuck. After graduat ing from the University of Michigan with a degree in natu ral resources, she took a summer

job with fhe state of Maryland evaluating its coastal zones. It* ^ was a great job, but it didn’t provide much of a challenge. And she realized she wanted to work with people. During a rainstorm one day, Van Dyke wandered into a local library intent on a lazy after noon of reading. While brows ing through the racks, a book caught her eye. It was Immaculate Deception by Suzanne Arms, which was vigor ously attacking accepted beliefs about childbirth in the U.S. Reading it was an epiphany. “I realized that if there was anything I could do with my life, it would be giving women choices about how they would have their babies.” She applied to the El Paso Maternity Center, a competitive midwifery school in Texas, where, she says, only 12 of 400 applicants were accepted. With no background in medicine or childbirth, she assumed her odds of acceptance were slim. But for reasons she still cannot fathom, the school’s director tracked her down several months later. She offered Van Dyke a position and gave her one day to decide. This entree into medicine was also a baptism by fire. Van Dyke was a novice. The hours were long and difficult. The cen ter performed well over a thou sand births each year, a stagger ing number for even large, mod ern hospitals. Like Outward Bound, though, the midwifery program was a proving ground. While learning to catch babies and care for mothers in labor, Van Dyke was also honing skills — compassion, teaching, deal

ing with crises — that would be vital in her later work. v 1 After El Paso, Van Dyke came to Vermont to work as a mid wife. It was a good fit, but still not perfect. The women in the Green Mountains were seeking her services as a matter of choice rather than need. And the field of midwifery itself was too limit ed. Seeking to broaden her scope, in 1986 she enrolled in Yale’s nurse-practitioner program. Soon after graduating, Van Dyke left for Nepal to work in a primary health-care center. There, her eyes were opened. “We saw lots and lots of cases related to poor water and sanita tion... I was treating the same people over and over,” she says. The U.S., Van Dyke realized, has an advanced public-health system that’s too often taken for granted: a safe food supply, uni versal vaccination, reliable water and sanitation, safe birthing practices and emergency facili ties that are quickly accessible by most of the population. “In poor countries,” she points out, “people die of preventable, mostly infectious diseases.” Van Dyke returned to the U.S. and went back to school again, this time at Harvard, for a Masters in Public Health. While in the program, she met several Medecins Sans Frontieres veter- . ans. The organization had just set up a New York recruitment office, and she decided to give it a try. The interview was “very intimidating,” she recalls. They asked, “How would your loved ones feel if you came home in a box?” Van Dyke left the meeting sure that she’d flunked. But she’d underestimated herself.

The first two offers that came her way were “too risky.” But Van Dyke accepted the third MSF mission, in 1993, to Tajikistan, a small country on Afghanistan’s northern border. “I had to look it up on a map first,” she remembers. With jagged, knife’s-edge mountains and a bleak, brown landscape, it was not a welcoming environ ment. She arrived at the end of a civil war between the Moscow-backed government and Islamic United Tajik Opposition. Bombs and bulldozers had destroyed people’s homes. Checkpoints were everywhere and Russian tanks rumbled down the streets. At night came the staccato pop-pop-pop of Kalashnikov assault rifles. Food was hard to come by. “You’d go to local markets,” she explains, “and all they had was boxes of matches and pasta. The war had just devastated the economy.” Van Dyke and the other members of her team — Frenchspeaking expatriates — began rebuilding the area’s health-care system. She visited remote vil lages in a “mobile medical unit,” a white 4x4 pickup. Her team set up a supplementary feeding program, revamped a clinic and trained local staff in Westernstyle medicine. But the Tajik physicians brisded at the notion that they needed to be taught and the assignment ultimately i was cut short. r -v/.li)ri ,, As frustrating as the situation was, Van Dyke thrived on the experience and even returned the following year to work in the northern part of the coun try. “I enjoyed the team’s cama raderie. I loved the intimacy of the work and the generosity of the local people,” she says. “They would follow our Jeep and give us pomegranates or invite us in for dinner.” In letters home, Van Dyke described riding horseback in the mountains and local village weddings; lunches of fresh fruit, nuts and, occasionally, vodka. But those sunny accounts are overshadowed by darker images. Refugees returned to find their homes demolished and their for mer enemies running the health care system. For these people, a simple trip to the hospital was something to be feared. “There was an amazing amount of distrust,” Van Dyke says. “I think what I really came away with was an understanding of the inanity of war.” Ten years later, she adds, Tajikistan is at peace. “They have rebuilt their lives,” she says. “It’s a miracle.” In 2002, Van Dyke accepted a position in South Sudan; it proved to be her most challenging assignment. Five decades of civil war between the Sudanese gov ernment and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army had mired the country in a colossal humanitari an crisis. By the late 1990s an entire generation, she says, knew nothing but war and hunger. The work, needless to say, was breathtaking in scope.

Along with 60 local staff, Van Dyke worked at an outpatient center, maternity ward and ther apeutic feeding program that served a community of more than 100,000 people. The set up sounds sophisticated, but buildings were little more than mud huts with thatched roofs. Patients’ beds were made from wood pallets that cargo planes had used for food drops. There was no X-ray machine and no surgical facilities. Imagine “ER” but without electricity, fancy diagnostic tools or the option to walk off the set. Security was also an ongoing problem. The MSF camp was located near a railway that sup plied the Sudanese government’s garrison towns. Men called muraheleen guarded the tracks. The Arabic word means traveler, but Van Dyke describes them as little more than unpaid thugs the government allowed to loot, kill and kidnap freely. Later, though the buildings’ roofs bore MSF logos, the camp was bombed by a government plane. Van Dyke and the others saw it overhead, barely visible against the African sun. Then the sound of its engines dropped to a low hum and everyone ran for shelter. A moment later, six bombs exploded on the camp’s food-drop zone, killing two peo ple and injuring 10 others: an awful event, but not as bad as it rpight h^ye been, according to Van Dyke. One week earlier, hun dreds of women had been waiting in line to collect food where the bombs landed. “It can always have been worse,” she says. In her typically philosophical fashion, she points out that the tragedies her work entails — whether in war-torn central Asia or peaceful central Vermont — are counterbalanced by miracles. In Tajikistan, Van Dyke’s team was able to save two men criti cally injured by a grenade. One had a gaping hole in his chest. There was no way to tie off the artery and his blood pressure was dropping. They hooked him to an IV, packed his wound and hoped for the best. The other patient was worse — an abdom inal wound severe enough that his intestines leaked out. Van Dyke expected to see sheets over both men’s heads in the morn ing. The next day, she walked into the clinic and found the man with the chest wound sit ting up in bed. Van Dyke is privy to a rare worldview. Big-picture suffering and small miracles. Abundance and deprivation. Humanity at its best and at its worst. “Having one foot in Vermont,” she says, “gives me continuity in my practice and the opportunity to know families in the Valley. Working overseas has taught me about the world’s inequalities, human resilience and bonds of family that are universal.” ®

tories about complete retrograde amnesia tend to make critics groan. Maybe it's because the syndromejjjfcears so jarely in real ii^pand s 4 ’p x often on soap operas. Amnesia has a built-in fascination: Who hasn’t fantasized about for getting his or her past and starting over as STORY someone new? But in the hands of many writ MARGOT ers, amnesia is a way to spark interest in a HARRISON character — who is she really? — without working for it. Blue, b y S arah Luckily, Sarah Van Arsdale isn’t one of them. Van A rsdale. A former Hinesburg resident who now lives U n iv e rsity o f part-time in Bennington, she’s no stranger to T e n n e sse e P ress. the subject: Her first novel was called Toward 216 p ag es. Amnesia. In Blue, winner of the University of $ 2 9 .9 5 . Tennessee’s Peter Taylor Prize for the Novel, a young woman discovered on a bridge in a small Maine town has only one memory: the color blue, which soon becomes her name. Like most tales of amnesia, Blue uses Blue’s condition to create suspense. Who is this woman? What brought her here? What trauma wiped out her internal hard drive? But Van Arsdale strays from the formula by making Blue primarily a story about the effect an amnesiac can have on others — people who use Blue as a blank screen onto which they project their own desires and fears. Blue’s most obsessive observer is Rita LaPlatte, a native of the town of Intervale who delivers newspapers by day and haunts pool tables by night. Raised by an alcoholic single mother, Rita is a control freak by nature and a swinging single girl by design. Convinced she has a twin despite her mom’s insistence to the contrary, she latches onto Blue as a likely can didate for the long-lost sibling. Rita may be a few cards short of a deck, but the more we learn about her, the better we understand that she needs the fantasy of a twin unspoiled by life to counterbalance her own disturbing memories. Bob Reichman, the psychiatrist who tries to jog Blue’s past back into place, has his own issues with memory. A child of Holocaust sur vivors, he has lost touch with the Orthodox Judaism of his youth. When his father’s memo ry begins to succumb to Alzheimer’s, Reichman fears a sort of cultural amnesia. He wonders: “In the Diaspora, how many Jews are there who, like Blue, have forgotten all they’d been instructed to remember? Amnesic, wan-i .H i 1*9. fk. ft * £

dering into their lives without knowing who thgy are, or"who f$key could ^■sjj§The' novel is j like at first af!3 focusedFon physical sen- V sations, Blue returns to normal in a realistically gradual process that keeps us at a distance from her. When she does start to unearth memories, they read like a private code, at once banal and inaccessible, revealing nothing about the trauma that brought her here. ^ Conditioned by other amnesia stories; we may want a dramatic revelation of Blue’s iden tity: something special in her past that made her forget. Van Arsdale plays with our expecta tions by suggesting that, for the most part, memories’ meanings are intensely subjective. When Blue withholds a memory from Dr. Reichman — setting in motion of chain of mistaken identity — she does so not because the memory is traumatic but simply because she doesn’t know how to convey it to another person without leaving it meaningless, “stripped down, laid bare.” Like Blue the character, Blue the novel is moody, slow-moving and focused on the sen sual textures of life. Vivid and fluid as watercolors, Van Arsdale’s descriptions of the town of Intervale will elicit shivers of recognition in anyone who knows the northern landscape: “The black trees scratch outlines against the trembling lavender November sky, the dark water motionless as a dropped penny.” The language gets more overwrought when we enter the mind of Annie Naiad, a homeless wanderer who, like so many literary crazy peo ple, speaks the truth clothed in metaphor and symbol. Her disordered thought patterns are convincingly psychotic. As for the poetry and Biblical references, you may want to suspend your disbelief and simply enjoy the ride. It’s Annie who turns out to be the linchpin of the plot, and of the novel’s ending. Without giving it away, I can say that readers with a secret weakness for soaps — myself included — will be thoroughly absorbed by the end of Blue. We do get our dramatic revelation, but not without irony and insight. Watching her dog play in the yard, Blue envies “the way for him it’s always simply now, now, now. ” By the end she will have learned that, while we may draw strength from the past, now, now, now is all we really have. ®

ven before the actors enter, the set makes a simple, eloquent statement: 12 chairs seated around the perimeter of the play-’ ing space, one draped with colored fabric,3* and on che upstage wallr-projected ever four large screens, a photo from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum of smiling youngsters in tattered winter clothes. The empty chairs and vin tage photo form a kind of memorial to the children of Terezin, whose words and pictures are about to fill the stage. Terezin was a walled garrison town northwest of Prague that was converted by the Nazis to a “transit camp” in 1941. An estimated 150,000 Jews were trans ported there from Czechoslovakia, Germany, Poland and other European countries between 1941 and 1945. Most stayed for one or two years before being sent to Auschwitz or dying from malnu trition or disease. Among them were 15,000 children, only 100 of whom sur vived. These boys and girls left a nowfamous legacy: thousands of poems, let ters and paintings which were preserved by the State Jewish Museum in Prague

will not die!” It even provided them, however fleetingly, a chance to contem plate beauty: “The dandelions call to me/And the white chestnut branches in the eourt/Only I never saw another but terfly.” UVM’s Remember the Children: Terezin is a new adaptation of Butterfly, developed in collaboration with a student cast by guest director Veronica Lopez. While the production suffers from the occasional dis connect — its structure is so elegant that it distances us from the horrors that are being evoked — Lopez’s approach, in its simplicity, meets the most crucial chal lenge: letting the childrens voices be heard. As the performance begins, the lights go down and we hear recorded sounds of youngsters at play, giggling and shouting. When the stage is illuminated again, the actors — 10 women, two men — are seated in the chairs. They’re wearing con temporary street clothes in shades of gray and blue that are much more muted than the bright reds and yellows in the chil dren’s paintings we see on screen.

C u ltu re w a s h ig h ly v a lu e d a m o n g th e p r is o n e r s of T e re zin , d e s p ite in h u m a n living c o n d itio n s . and later collected in a book, I Never Saw Another Butterfly. Culture was highly valued among the prisoners of Terezin, despite inhuman liv ing conditions. Friedl Dicker-Brandejsovi, one of many artists and writers imprisoned there, is credited with teach ing art to the children, for whom such classes must have been therapeutic. Art — drawing, writing, singing, fantasizing — was their only defense. It offered them a way to record the misery they witnessed every day: “We don’t see blood herd. Nothing, only silent hunger.” It gave them a place to cry out: “If in barbed wire flowers can bloom, why can’t I? I

One by one, each member of the cast stands and recounts an aspect of Terezin history from Jiri Weil’s epilogue to Butterfly, how “men in uniform... held meetings” to decide that this 18th-century fortress should be turned into a “false town,” a “stopping place on the road to death.” Then a call-and-response begins, a series of sentences that begin with the ensemble saying, “They saw...,” followed by a single voice listing what the children witnessed and imagined. A continuous flow of movement leads seamlessly into a playful folk dance, which also serves as a way of moving the chairs into position as set pieces. The flow is

interrupted by the sound of shattering glass and jackboots, then... blackout. The elements that make this opening sequence a success carry through the entire production: the o#i«*ness (r tf e ensem ble, smartly crafted transitions, carefully selected sound effects, the subde impact of Jeff Modereger’s set, Martin Thaler’s cos tumes and lighting by John Forbes. Lopez is particularly good at modulat ing rhythms. One of the most powerful moments is the ensemble’s rendition of the poem “I Am a Jew and Will Be a Jew Forever,” written by a boy who was deported to Terezin at age 10 and killed at Auschwitz at 11 a year later. It begins quietly, then escalates in volume, speed and frenzy of movement to betome a declaration of defiance. The cast does equally well in a sequence with no words at all: Clicking their fingers, then slapping their thighs, then stomping their feet, they recreate in unison the sound of a rainstorm from first sprinkles to final downpour. The children’s game, which also serves as a metaphor for looming disaster, culmi nates in a huge recorded thunderclap. Music, both live and recorded, is cannily chosen, and used with particular grace in quiet moments. The piercingly sweet voice of a young woman singing a Jewish lullaby is the only sound in a tableau of otherwise silent anguish — a woman rocking in pain, mothers watch ing over dying children. Ensemble mem bers play imaginary pianos as they recite a child’s joyous poem about listening to pianist Gideon Klein, who was impris oned at Terezin and executed at Auschwitz at age 26. During the reading, we hear a recording of one of his actual performances. Despite the emphasis on ensemble, each individual actor in Remember is still allowed to project a distinctive identity. And that’s important, because it’s often when the actors break out from the crowd to go solo that the children’s words register most strongly. “I Am a Jew...” derives its initial power from the fury of Jennifer Moulton. Jason Turk <phannels the sweet, unadorned directness of a child

without trying to be a child. This gives even greater poignancy to a passage in which he conveys a boy’s eagerness to meet the latest arrivals in camp. Hearing-impaiwd actress Laura Siegel combines expressive signing with a mobile face; a poem about an elderly prisoner — “my poor old graybeard” — is even more riveting because of her quick, vivid delineation of the old man. The rest of the ensemble also use£ American Sign Language at certain moments, repeating signed words and phrases of Seigel s and stretching them into almost dancelike movement. “I look into the wide distant world,” begins one passage of great longing; the ASL gestures help express the desire for a life that is no longer within reach. Occasionally, Lopez’s actors become over-emphatic, as if trying too hard to show us how much they empathize with the children’s pain. For the most part, understatement serves these writings bet ter. A case in point is the segment describing the most absurd period in Terezin’s history, when the Nazis spruced up the ghetto in 1944 to convince visi tors from the International Red Cross that it was not a concentration camp but a model “Jewish settlement region.” Lauren Stoler and Moulton nicely underplay the bemused reactions of the sawier children to the new street signs and the ersatz school, with its “Holidays” notice posted outside to explain the lack of students. And Courtney Anderson is heartbreakingly gullible, wondering whether these improvements mean that “perhaps we don’t even know hoW good the situation here is.” The situation, of course, did not get better. And art offered, finally, no defense. But the words and pictures the children left do two things: They convey in sometimes surprisingly sophisticated imagery the harsh realities of life in a concentration camp, and they testify to the irrepressible human need to create, to communicate, and, most touchingly under the circumstances, to hope. In remembering the children of Terezin, UVM’s production honors them. ®

VIDA BLUE THE ILLUSTRATED BAND

r e v ie w t h

EDGE OF STATES, SECRET PROMISE (Skypoint Records, CD) With contributions from four vocalists, three drummers and a keyboard player, Peter Lolacono's Edge of States is a varied, polished and sometimes sprawling affair. The cover features a guitar flying through space and a treasure chest with the words "secret promise" written inside it. This recording gets high marks for musicianship, and the singing by all four women is quite good. Lolacono plays all the guitars, and he's equally comfortable with crunchy chords and Steely Dan-style, jazzified strumming and picking. The arpeggio chords a la Johnny Marr are really swell. That said, the songs themselves are interesting epics but often bland. Most of the tracks seem upbeat, but they don't really stick in your head. Too many of them have talking parts along with singing parts. Sometimes this record sounds like Foreigner, other

The story goes that following Phish's winter tour, keyboardist Page McConnell headed down to Miami for vacation and discovered the Afro-Cuban sextet the Spam Allstars in residence at a local club. After Allstar DJ Le Spam joined McConnell, bassist Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers) and

Clocking in at almost 62 minutes, The Illustrated Band is a wildly exciting, four-song journey (that's right: four songs, 62 m inutes... you do the math). It samples progressive jazz, funk, electronic and improvisational sounds. The'opening title track explodes like

he meadows and pas tures of Shelburne Farms have provided the backdrop for “Envisioned in a Pastoral Setting” for the last 16 years. The annual group show is housed in the 101 -yearold neo-Gothic coach barn, an agrarian sabn that this year holds more than 100 works by 45 juried artists. It’s a predominantly regional show, but some artists haye come from as far as England. Considering the exhibitions rural roots, there’s not much diver sity in the selection of traditional, craft-based art. The only ceramist in the show is Bob Green of Conway, Massachusetts — a former longtime teacher at the Shelburne Craft School. He presents small, exquisite raku vessels in blue and white and ruddy red-brown. Four of the artists work with textiles, but they aren’t mak ing hooked rugs. They are all solid, contemporary fine artists. Two of them are New Haven artist Elinor Steele and Suzanne Pretty of Farmington, New Hampshire. Steele’s “Illusive Struggle” is a geometric abstraction o f warmhued rectangles, squares and diagonals layered into entrancing rhythms. Pretty’s “Forest of Blocks” has a whim sical design that includes red trucks, clouds, trees and alphabet blocks. Bridgewater weaver-sculptor David Stearns is represent ed here by wall pieces as well as sculptures. One “Untitled” pedestal piece has the silhouette of an urn and sides of birch bark, with an interior of threads woven onto dowels. His “Randomly Red” looks like a basket made of fuzzy red ocher yarn — or spaghetti. Dianne Shullenberger of Underhill has a colored pencil and embroidered piece entitled “Molly’s Field.” The deli cate winter scene on cloth looks like fine handmade paper, but it is indeed stitched. The piece is suspended in its frame, giving it a frail and precious look. Susan Read Cronin of Manchester works in bronze, and her sculptures display exceptional technique. Her subject matter, however, is a bit light. “Rabbits Reward,” for exam ple, looks like a three-dimensional Br’er Rabbit hiding a big carrot behind its back. Not exactly Auguste Rodin material, though Cronin is good enough to aim about that high. “Leaving Jackson, Wyoming” by Burlington architect Tom Cullins is the most original of several landscape pho tographs here. It’s an aerial view of a sinewy road twisting through a snowy landscape. Trees along the road look like they were plucked out of j,.three-dimensional model, and

QUILT SHOW: A plethora of patchwork

the road wends like a piece of string on a carpet. As in nearly all group shows, painters and printmakers dominate. For this show, most have created landscapes. Cornish, New Hampshire, artist Christine Hawkins is an abstractionist whose “Sectional Right” has a Richard Diebenkorn flavor. She uses just a few hues and breaks her geometry with thin lines that float in and out of the fields. Gail Bessette of Malone, New York, also exhibits an interesting approach to landscape in her “Meadow View.” It’s a square within a square. The exterior square is defined by the outer frame around a somewhat traditional meadow, but an inner frame sections off the center of the painting. That device puts the viewer in the painter’s shoes, so to speak, by showing how she focused on a particular area while keeping the entire context of the scene in mind. Bessette also uses jewel-like colors. In “Contentment,” the azure evening sky, which outlines spreading trees, has a Maxfield Parrish quality. The pastoral setting of Shelburne Farms is not exactly an act of God. Dr. William Seward Webb and Eliza Vanderbilt Webb commissioned the most prominent landscape archi tect of the 19th century, Frederick Law Olmstead, to sculpt a few of their 4000 acres on Lake Champlain into a Gilded Age sylvan playground. Today’s Shelburne Farms consists of 1400 of that original tract, but is still plenty inspiring. ®

in a small town in the Champlain Valley — the posthumous retrospective "The Northeast Kingdom and Beyond," at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne. The "and beyond" part of the title probably refers to New York City, where Klein lived during his final few years. The 1995 painting "Clothing Store," pictured here, clearly predates that.

T h e ‘S c h o o l o f R o c k ★ ★ ★

here’s an important lesson to be learned at The School o f Rock. Too much mar keting can be a bad thing. Right off the bat, I want to make clear that what I’m grading with three stars is the experi R O C K IN ’ ence I had watching the new Richard R O L E Linklater comedy starring Jack Black. Black gives an In a media vacuum it might have amped-up scored higher. However, movies today performance are not experienced in a vacuum, but in the latest rather as the culmination of a highly from Richard orchestrated series of media events. Linklater. These are intended to spread the word about a new film, of course, and to build viewer anticipation. Theatrical trailers, television ads, magazine show features, talk show interviews — they’re the free supermarket samples of the movie business. In putting so much product in the hands of the consumer prior to the point of purchase, studios run the same risk as do food producers who give away free helpings. If the shopper’s already stuffed, he’s less likely to find the product novel and satisfying once he gets it home. For weeks now, the producers of The School o f Rock have stoked viewer interest and, prior to seeing the film, I would have, guessed that they had done just about everything right. Black’s been all over the dial, and buzz for the picture has increased exponen tially. From the first time I saw the trailer, I told myself this was going to be one of the funniest times I’d have

From the creators of Joe Dirt and Tommy Boy comes this comedy about a 35-year-old ex-celebrity whose dreams of a comeback depend on his ability to simulate the child

at the movies this year. And don’t get me wrong; I had a perfectly pleasant time. The problem is, I had heard and read about and seen so much of what’s funny in the film that, when I finally watched it, those parts lost most of their impact, and most of the rest of the movie isn’t up to their standard. With the millions it spends on audience research and focus groups, Hollywood has finally figured out how' to make a really good movie, make you want to see it, and then make you feel like you’ve been let down some how once you do. Black is all Belushistyle energy and facial contortion as an aging music fan who refuses to let go of his rock ’n’ roll dreams. Kicked out of his band, he takes a job as a substi tute at a prep school to raise money for his rent. At first, he doesn’t teach his class much of anything, other than what it feels like to have a hangover. Then he catches a glimpse of his kids playing in orchestra class and has a brainstorm: Why not shape the class into a kick-ass rock group and take a run at the $20,000 prize being offered by an upcoming Battle of the Bands? Based on a script by Mike White, who has a small part in the picture, the film benefits from a premise as in spired as it is preposterous. And Black’s ferociously antic performance is un doubtedly his finest to date. As you watch him buddy up to the young’uns,

doubletalk his way through lunch hour at the teachers’ table and schmooze with the school’s tightly wound princi pal (Joan Cusack), it becomes clear that Black is the heir apparent not only to Belushi but to Bill Murray as well. There’s a hefty helping of Meatballs in The School o f Rock. Anyone who loves rock music will appreciate the script’s insights into the form and its history. Memorable moments include Black instructing his preteen lead guitarist in the art of the power stance, dividing the class into band members, roadies, technical crew and groupies (“They’re really just cheerleaders.”), and performing in an XXL version of Angus Young’s trade mark schoolboy uniform. I just wished I hadn’t seen it all before. So, are you going to enjoy yourself at The School o f Rock. Sure. Linklater’s latest is smart, funny and unapologetically upbeat. Will you have as much fun as you might have if you hadn’t already seen the movie’s best stuff over and over in advance? I don’t see how you could. And I don’t see how that’s fair, either to the audience or to the makers of the film. If you’ve just snapped out of a coma or arrived from a far-away coun try, I envy you. You can see this movie the way it was meant to be seen. I bet you’ll laugh your head off. It will amuse the rest of you, too — it just won’t rock your world. ©

isfits rule in American Splendor, a magnifi cent biographical film about one particular loser with a winning glower. Harvey Pekar is a real-life Cleveland native who writes the text of underground comics based on his own experiences. He’s as glum as they come. As portrayed by Paul Giamatti with a sourpuss expression, Harvey never sugarcoats or sees a silver lining. Although you might not want to be his friend, you could always trust him to tell the truth — albeit usually a sad truth. Happiness is not an option for someone so eternally pessimistic about the world and his place in it. While looking at his slumping, disheveled image in the mirror, he observes: “Now there’s a reliable disappointment.” Yet, directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini have crafted a movie that’s anything but. American Splendor, now at the Roxy in Burlington, is as inventive, entertaining and emotionally fulfilling as any release this year. The husband-and-wife team, who also collab orated on the script, found a way to inte grate the performers with the actual peo ple and the art that depicts them. The opening credits alone reveal great ingenuity. Comic book-like panels encompass still photographs o f the char acters, cinematography or drawings from Pekar’s body of work, which extends back some 25 years. Over a soundtrack o f old-time blues, jazz and rock, Pekar’s raspy voice narrates events recounted on the screen by the actors or by periodic use o f his comics. And he shows up in person, at one point even in a behind-the-scenes sequence with Giamatti. Harveys thoughts are occasionally articulated in cartoon bal loons. While the juxtaposition of fact and artifice is jarring at first, it soon makes perfect sense. This feature bril liantly blends documentary immediacy and fanciful imagination. Saddled with a dead-end day job as a file clerk in a hospital, Harvey befriends a developmentally challenged co-worker named Toby. Judah Friedlander delivers a remarkably accurate imitation of this genuine self-proclaimed nerd. Toby is obsessed with the film Revenge o f the Nerds because he perceives an empower ing geek-brotherhood message in the raunchy 1984 comedy. Harvey finds solace from the isolation of geekdom in his love o f comics and his vast collection of vintage recordings. As a teen, he and fellow Ohio resident Robert Crumb, played here by James Urbaniak, establish a bond based on these mutual outcast passions. Desperate for a creative oudet, Harvey later begins keeping a sort o f diary about

his daily activities, most of them humili ating, frustrating or depressing. A chroni cler of personal pain, he demonstrates a keen ear for dialogue heard on the streets, in supermarkets and at work. Crumb, who hits pay dirt as an artist (“Mr. Natural,” “Fritz the Cat”) after moving to San Francisco, illustrates his pal’s prolifer ation of words. The comic book series American Splendor is published. Twice divorced, Harvey remains mired in loneliness until a fan letter arrives from Joyce Brabner — normally blonde Hope Davis as a brunette in oversize eyeglasses. ' When this strong-willed peace activist from Delaware visits him, she brings her own assortment of neurotic quirks, such as hypochondria and a habit of diagnos ing other people’s psychological prob lems. They are soul mates prone to squabbling, and quickly decide to marry. Despite his reluctance to have chil dren, her need to nurture eventually prompts the couple to adopt a daughter. Its a delight to watch Giametti’s turn as a middle-aged grump awkwardly adjust ing to the unlikely role of father. Harvey faces a much more difficult hurdle when doctors discover a malig nant tumor in his groin. Joyce encour ages him to channel the fear and suffer ing into a graphic novel. They co-author Our Cancer Year, which goes on to earn a National Book Award. His comics career, while never terribly lucrative, does lead to fame. Harvey is a frequent guest on “Late Night With David Letterman.” The actual footage of their repartee is unsetding; they’re both cranks, but the talk-show host often pokes fun at unglamorous folks. The laughter dies, along with the TV welcome mat, when Pekar angrily denounces NBC for the weapons manufactured by its par ent company, General Electric. vEven without that confrontation, he is unable to relish his accomplishments. Left-leaning politics, disdain for; bour geois values and a bleak temperament may be antithetical to sustained suc cess. To borrow a catchphrase from Crum b, Harvey Pekar, at least the cine matic version, can only “keep on truckin’.” But, in doing so, his reliable disappointments seem strangely lifeaffirming. ®

The New York Times dubbed him "the godfather of new acoustic music." World-famous finger-picker Bela Fleck gives him career-advancing credit. In 1973, Tony Trischka broke the banjo barrier with his debut album, Bluegrass Light, and for the last 30 years has taken picking into uncharted territory. He's played with David Grisman, the Violent Femmes and REM and usually tours with his four-member band, but this time Trischka goes \ it alone. Outfitted with an array of different ban jos, he plays everything from 19th-century string-1 I band songs and 1920s mountain music to bottle neck blues and legendary Earl Scruggs tunes. Like the Alternative Press, the crowd is sure to find it "difficult to believe that Trischka has the same number of fingers as anyone else."

GETTING BEHIND THE W HEEL WORLD

S a y W h a t You M e a n

he 2003 E-Class sedan from Mercedes-Benz is an example of something good evolving into some thing better. Whereas certain rival manufacturers in the competitive mid-size luxury category will, from time to time, introduce new models that represent “bold departures” from what they are replacing, the new E320 preserves the sterling qualities of its pre decessor and yet manages to refine them. Take the external appearance, for example. Although subdy streamlined and nuanced with a dynastic resemblance to Mercedes’ flagship S-Class full-size sedans, the new E-Class — cornerstone of Mercedes’ worldwide reputation — still disports itself as an elegant coach for the well-heeled. Rivals may appear sportier, flashier, gaudier. This Mercedes, by contrast, is serene in its quiet muscularity. For 2003, the new E-Class models consist of the V6-powered E320 and the V8-powered E500. (A new E-Class wagon will debut for 2004.) M y recent encounter was with the “Sport” version of the E320, which combined a 3.2-liter single-overheadcam V6 making 221 horsepower with an optional S3,800 package o f body skirts and fasciasM 7 -in .__ wheels, leather and burl furnishings and a clever Airmatic ITuakControl self-leveling suspension. Astested, and including even more goodies like a sun roof, premium sound system and magic-finger-style Drive-Dynamic massaging front seats, this E320 Sport stickered at $36,045. W ith 232 ft.-lbs. o f maximum torque available over a broad powerband spanning 3,000 to 4,800 rpm, the E320’s V6 responds instandy to inputs from the accelerator. Mercedes’ agile TouchShift automatic transmission provides clutchless control over five forward speeds. This car translates a dri vers strict intentions into precise velocities. It does so, moreover, at the pace of zero-to-60 in 7.1 sec onds, and for a fuel efficiency of 19 miles-per-gallon/City, 27 miles-per-gallon/Highway (albeit using premium fuel). Inside the E320 Sport is a miniature executive boardroom for five adults. The black bird’s-eye maple that accompanies the Sport package colludes with charcoal leather and darkened windows to evoke an atmosphere of elegant privacy.

I am pleased to see that Mercedes-Benz con tinues to experiment with its integrated “tele matics” system that it dubs C O M A N D . I can not yet agree, however, that M -B’s strategy for simultaneously managing audio, navigation, tele phone and video electronics is as intuitive as cer tain rivals’ systems — notably Acura’s. Just the same, Mercedes’ GPS nav system for the new EClass is DVD-based, and a separate D V D player in the dash not only plays music CDs but also displays video on a 6.5-in. color m onitor — only when the gear selector is in Park, that is. Perhaps the most dramatic additions to the EClass are its two most subtle ones. The first is the fully electronic braking system, borrowed from Mercedes’ SL-Class roadsters. This com puterized “brake-by-wire” scheme transcends anti-lock braking by factoring such inputs as a

It is hard to describe the sense o f stability and self-confidence the Airmatic system engenders.

It’s said, of course, that if you can’t define a particular word with a simple phrase, you don’t really know what it means. It’s a different story with this new E-Class sedan.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My boyfriend has recently developed a disturbing Arnold Schwarzenegger fetish. Whenever we're making love, he begs me to flex my muscles, clench my jaw, summon up my best Austrian accent and do a Schwarzenegger impression. His favorite lines are "You lack discipline!" "Do it now!" "Psychopathic bitch," "You're damaged goods, lady," and, in a whisper, "Goddamn mini-van." I was willing to play along with "his Clint Eastwood and Marlon Brando phases, and positively enjoyed the cross dressing kinkiness of playing Katharine Hepburn. I love this man with all my heart, and am committed to pleasing him in bed. But when I'm pretending to be Schwarzenegger, I feel like I'm part of the Republican office-stealing conspiracy, and I just can't get it up for that. What should I do? Poor Sport in Panton Dear Poor, Healthy sex should be a democratic activity in which everyone has an equal say in the decision-making process. If playing Kindergarten Cop or Conan the Barbarian doesn't bring out your wild side, you have every right to vote for terminating the game. Love, Lola
