VERMONT PROVIDES DE NOVO CHALLENGES Kevin J. Kelley wrote a very good article on the housing shortage in Burlington ["Gimme Shelter," June 23]. However, there was one significant error in how I was quoted. In the sidebar, "Building Tension," a paragraph reads: "Vermont is one of the few states that allows court challenges of proposed projects that have been reviewed and acted upon by local planning commissions." Unfortunately, two key words are missing. The sentence should read: "Vermont is one of the few states that provides for de novo court challenges. In this case, die legal term de novo is of critical importance. What de novo judicial review means is that the court does not rely on the record developed at, say, the planning commission hearing. Instead, witnesses and evidence must be presented as if the court were sitting as the planning commission. In fact, parties to the court proceeding can — and do — introduce evidence that they did not even present to the local planning commission. In most states, in sharp contrast to Vermont's system of de novo review, the court review is based on the evidence presented to the planning commission, with the court determining only whether the commissions decision was arbitrary or capricious. This makes it more difficult to overturn a local planning commission decision. It also makes for a much faster judicial review process, since the judge doesn't have to hear from a score of witnesses presenting evidence. • -. ; : I v There afe two other major problems with de novo review. First, it encourages losing parties before the planning commission to appeal to court. As a result, a large amount of staff time from the Planning Depart-ment and City Attorneys office must be spent on handling appeals of local planning and zoning decisions. Of course, it's the taxpayers who ultimately foot this bill.

The second problem is that de novo review has a debilitating effect on the local planning process. Hours of public hearing time are essentially thrown out the window when the whole matter is heard again from scratch in court. Commissioners aren't the only ones asking themselves why they're spending hours listening to the public and trying.to come up with good decisions when almost every controversial project ends up in court. One developer appearing recently before the Burlington Planning Commission on a major project told us he didn't care whether we approved or denied his project as long as we did it quickly — since the project would end up in court regardless of who prevailed before the Planning Commission. One potential way out of this mess would be for Burlington to adopt a "development review board" — allowed by state law — which would combine the project review functions of the planning commission and zoning board in a single body. Vermont law provides for more limited judicial review of development review board decisions (different than the de novo standard for planning commission decisions). Mayor Clavelle indicated to Seven Days a willingness to consider switching to a development review board as a way of streamlining the permitting process. Relief from the current de novo standard of review may be one more good reason for considering this change. — Wayne Senville Burlington (Wayne Senville resigned July 1 as chair of the Burlington Planning Commission.) MISSED T H E ESSENCE? In her review ["Basque to Basics," June 23], Marialisa Calta seems to have missed the essence of Christophes on the Green. The restaurant is not for the diner on a budget. Instead, we have built up a consider-

able word-of-mouth following of regulars who appreciate the quality and innovation of Christophes menu. Christophes buys seasonal produce locally and in small quantities so as to ensure freshness. The season for tender cattail shoots is all of three weeks, which explains why they were not available the evening Ms. Calta dined. Unlike Ms. Calta, a professional restaurant critic would not have seen this as a fault. Ms. Calta seemed surprised that our wines by the glass are expensive. Christophes is able to offer wines such as St. Emilion '86 and Chalone Vineyard Chardonnay thanks to a unique wine dispenser (which Ms. Calta failed to notice), which allows us to serve premium wines by the glass under the best conditions, without any oxidation (whites at 45°F and reds at 58°F). Regarding the tasting menu, there is a progression of tastes where each dish is paired with a particular wine which complements it, hence our socalled "warning" on the menu of no substitutions. This is standard procedure. Ms. Calta complimented Christophe for his heated espresso cups. All espresso machines have a built-in heated tray on which cups are stored. Obviously she has had little exposure to quality restaurants. Building a high-caliber restaurant takes years of training, hard work and dedication. Ms. Calta's uninformed observations and sarcastic tone are an insult to a restaurant of Christophes stature. Nowhere else in Vermont can one sample locally grown, organic haricots verts and Basque peppers, diver's scallops, baby squid, skate wing, lamb sweetbreads and "petit pain" baked on the premises (which, by the way, Ms. Calta makes no mention of). Unlike Ms. Calta, many of our guests have dined in fine restaurants all over the world. They applaud the many details

which make Christophes such a special and unique restaurant. — Alice & Christophe Lissarrague Owners, Christophes On the Green Vergennes [Ed. note: Marialisa Calta is a food critic not only for Seven Days but for The New York Times and national food magazines. We stand by her qualifications.] FREYNE ANALYSIS SUPERFICIAL I don't usually bother to think too much about the "political" commentary in your newspaper, having considered Seven Days primarily a source of entertainment news and commentary. However, a couple recent pieces have provoked me to respond. The first piece was the one on Will Miller ["Doctor of Dissent," June 2]. While nominally a profile of Will and his life of activism, the piece turned out to be one more collection of character attacks on an individual quite rare in today's consumption-oriented world: someone who sees problems with the the world and tries to organize regular folks to do something about those problems. Miller's dedication to what he believes will make a better world was trivialized and obscured by Mr. [Kevin] Kelley's constant quoting of those who disagree with Miller's philosophy and approach. The other piece that provoked this letter was Peter Freyne's attack on those who opposed the recent NATO war against the people of Yugoslavia [Inside Track, June 23]. His characterization of us as "self-righteous" has little or no import coming from a columnist who defines the phrase. His superficial analysis of the war and its outcome ignores the issues the antiwar protestors here in Burlington and around the world were attempting to raise: the role of the defense industry in NATO

Frbcrastinator of the Year After 328 moneybags filled with nickels, climes and quarters worth $150,000 were found in a Miami-Dade County, Florida, office, county worker Etta Jardine, 42, said the money had been collected from parking meters for the past four years. She explained she never got around to depositing it because other duties kept her from taking it to the bank.

Curses, Foiled Again W h e n Cedar Rapids, Iowa, police Officer Nick Nolte stopped a car for having no license plates, the driver identified himself as Anthony Jones and said he had an out-of-state license but left it home. Nolte wrote a ticket for driving without a license, but when he handed it to the driver to sign, he signed it "Michael Maide." Nolte said that when he asked the man why he signed the ticket "Michael Maide," who had nine previous traffic violations in Iowa, including three convictions for driving without a license, the driver stated, "Oh, [expletive]!" • Waiter Sean Barry, 23, tried on a pair of handcuffs at his home in Chandler, Arizona, but couldn't get them off.

Unfriendly Skies An airplane carrying 55 passengers to the Scottish island of Benbecula was forced to circle the airport for half an hour while an air traffic controller ate her lunch. Airport officials apologized for the delay but explained that

because of a shortage of controllers, only one was on duty and that national air traffic rules forbid controllers from working more than two hours without a break. The plane was scheduled to arrive before the controller's break but left Glasgow 25 minutes late. • W h e n a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines plane transporting 440 ground squirrels from Beijing to Athens landed at Amsterdam's Schipol airport, the Dutch agriculture ministry ordered the animals killed because they lacked the proper import and health papers.

Good Old Days Eight former East German border patrol officers are creating a 164-yard-long replica of the border that once separated East and West Germany, complete with watch towers, two layers of barbed wire and antitank ditch. The only things missing, according to Der Spiegel magazine, are the mines and automatic, tripwire-fired

guns. The veteransako plan a camping ground and a military adventure park for army fans from West and East, and hope to offer tours in former military vehicles and practice shooting at cardboard targets.

Grave Matters Mario Paz, 25, climbed onto the roof of a crowded bus in Argentina's Santiago del Estero province and was sitting next to a coffin being delivered to a mortuary when the lid opened and a voice inside asked, "Is it cold, sir?" T h e frightened Paz broke an arm and a leg jumping off the bus. Authorities explained that a farmer who had boarded the bus before Paz lay down in the empty coffin to escape the wintry weather.

Attractive Solution Australian scientists at Victoria University of Technology in Melbourne announced they have developed an easier way to clean birds caught in oil spills. Instead of scrubbing the oily feathers with detergents, which can destroy their waterproof properties, researcher John Orbell said the feathers can be dusted with fine iron powder, which absorbs the oil, then combed with a magnet, which removes the powder.

The Ten Cees' and other Hot Topics

1 o

h, bother!" said Pooh. Another Crank Call? It's too hot. What can there possibly be left to complain about? I put this question to a bunch of my friends at the Williston Fourth of July parade (you don't know what you're missing). A majority were in favor of complaining about the traffic; specifically, SUVs, and what seem to be about 40,000 red lights between you and anywhere else. I used to say that Burlington was the Land of Stop Signs. Now stop signs are just a province in the larger gridlock. It doesn't matter what they do with Main Street — it'll be holy hell for the rest of time. I've complained about SUVs in this space before, of course, and they go right on making them. I see they've now come up with something called the Dodge RAM — maybe they've had it all along — which at least is an honest way of describing the purpose of these marauding catastrophes. The SUV is the ultimate symbol of what this country has become — bullying, greedy, selfish and lawless, with the perps hidden from view by reflective glass. "The only thing we haven't done is hand out guns to everyone who drives," says my friend Professor David Neiweem. Ex-Professor Veronica Richel, happily enjoying her escape from teaching and on her way to Ireland, where the temperature's in the 60s, wants me to take a crack at the Ten Commandments. As in: The House of Representatives recently passed a bill authorizing schools to hang copies of the Ten Cees on the wall. This is your government's proposed solution to school shootings, rampant sexuality and the general godlessness of the times. It hasn't the faintest chance of becoming law, of course, but it makes the frothers happy.

"I understand that simply posting the Ten Commandments will not instantly change the moral character of our nation," said Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Ala., who sponsored the bill. "However, it is an important step to promote morality, and an end of children killing children." Rep. Henry Hyde said the measure was designed to "slow the flood of toxic waste into our kids' minds," while

the commandment-loving Rep. Bob Barr thinks that if the Ten Cees had been posted at Columbine, no teenager would have fired the guns they own by divine right and the coffers of the National Rifle Association.

How could he not? This is a country that, when asked by the Post Office to pick subjects for a series of stamps to commemorate the 1990s, chose the cellular phone and Titanic. Other contenders were "virtual reality," Jurassic Park and

A case in point is Burlington's Blanchard Beach, just Lori Fisher, executive director of the Lake Champlain north of Oakledge Park.

dilute much — phosphorus levels rival those found in the most polluted parts of the Great Lakes during the 1970s. Phosphorus can create a health hazard when its combined with chlorine in the waste treatment process, Fisher says. But recreational managers and regional economic boosters are more concerned about phosphorus making the lake less appealing to play in. "You'll see fuzzy or scummy rocks," says Eric Smeltzer, Vermont State Limnologist. "The water gets murky, it stinks, and it causes fish kills. Sometimes you'll see a floating scum." Upgraded wastewater treatment facilities have improved Lake Champlain's phosphorus picture, Smeltzer believes. Ironically, however, properly functioning, on-site septic systems that allow phosphorus-rich material to soak into the ground are more effective than sewers at keeping phosphorus out of the lake, he adds. To stem the amount of phosphorus entering the lake from run-off water, some government grants are available to help farmers store their manure, erect fencing to keep livestock out of streams and treat barnyard wastewater. Though volunteers for this program are plentiful, Smeltzer says, funding is not.

or all the fears about E. coli and other substances in Lake Champlain, the most serious health hazard comes not from swimming in the water, but from eating fish caught in it. The issue here is toxins. Because of unacceptably high levels of mercury, the Vermont Department of Health recommends no more than one meal of Lake Champlain walleye each month for men and older women — and none whatsoever for women of child-bearing age and kids under the age of six. To guard against exposure to PCBs — or polychlorinated biphenyls — the state has a similar advisory for lake trout. Across the lake, the Empire State takes a causes more conservative stance. "Women and children shouldn't eat any fish at all from Lake Champlain," asserts Donald Brown, a scientist with the New York State Health Department. The consequences of ignoring these warnings can be serious, Fisher warns, ^ o i o j i s t PCBs are suspected carcinogens that can also cause learning disabilities in children exposed in utero, and lead to liver damage, skin problems and suppression of the immune system. Overexposure to mercury impairs the central nervous system, affecting a person's behavior and personality months or even years after they've been exposed to the toxin. The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland is a classic — if fictional — example of mercury poisoning. Because hats used to be made from felt, and felt was made with mercury, hat-makers in Lewis Carroll's day had a reputation for being not altogether sane. In the real world, scientists have traced clusters of neurological impairment in Japan and Iraq to acute mercury exposure. Taking in too much mercury can also cause tremors, blindness or deafness. The mercury content in Lake Champlain fish isn't in the acute-exposure range, but it's more than high enough to be cause for concern. Rich Langdon, an aquatic biologist with the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, reports that small-mouth bass caught near Burton Island in 1996 contained 400 to 500 parts per

THE FULL TREATMENT Burlington wastewater clean-up efforts have made it safe to go back in the water - most of the time. billion — at least twice the level deemed dangerous. Razelle Hoffman-Contois, a public health-risk assessor with the Vermont Department of Health, preaches a common-sense approach. "Its not like if you ate an extra fish this month, God forbid you'd have this awful consequence," she says. "Everything in moderation." How do these toxins find their way into Lake Champlain's fish? "I call it the drift-and-drop theory," says Hoffman-Contois. Mercury wafts through the air and settles on the water. Plants and animals absorb it and turn it into methyl mercury. The toxin travels right up the food chain, from phytoplankton to zooplankton to little fish to bigger fish. T h e biggest, fish-eating fish have the highest mercury concentrations. How does the mercury enter the air to begin with? About a third of it occurs naturally, in the gas phase of volcanoes and in the soil, Langdon explains. The rest, he says, -is caused by human activities such as burning medical wastes and fossil fuels, and from industry. Because prevailing winds in the Champfain Basin come from the west, its easy to point a finger at the Midwest. But Fisher calls this an oversimplification. "Forty-three percent of our mercury contamination comes from within New

England," she asserts. "We need to have a clean-hands policy when we're dealing with mercury at a national level. We need to clean up sources in our own front and back yards." Vermont took its first step towards cleaning up mercury locally last year, when the legislature passed a mercury-labeling law designed to help consumers keep the toxin out of the waste stream. In contrast to mercury, PCBs have no natural sources, Fisher says. She traces them to such biotechnology companies as Monsanto. Produced in the United States from 1929 to 1977, the material was used throughout the industrialized world in products such as coolants, lubricants, transformers and adhesives. The quality that made PCBs so attractive to industry is also what makes them so dangerous in the environment: They simply do not biodegrade. Today, Fisher says, "They're in the body of almost every living person on Earth and in the soil, the air and water." At Plattsburgh's Cumberland Bay, an EPA Superfund site, the local fish and pulpy sediment that washes up on shore contain PCB levels that.are beyond extreme — nearly 40 times the amount considered hazardous. The

source of this contamination is easy to trace, Fisher says. Thirty years ago PCBs were used in the manufacture of carbonless copy paper, which was one of the secondary fibers being pulped at Cumberland Bay to produce toilet paper and other products. As part of the pulping process, wastes containing these PCBs were dumped into the bay off Wilcox Dock. This month, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation will begin dredging the contaminated pulp and treating it. T h e waste will then be trucked to Quebec and Buffalo for disposal. Fisher is optimistic about these efforts. "In the next 10 years," she predicts, "the health advisories at Cumberland Bay will be removed." T h e dredge-and-remove project at Cumberland Bay is just one of several clean-up projects in progress around the lake. Environmentalists are hopeful that these initiatives — reducing mercury pollution, addressing tainted runoff and treating wastewater, among other efforts — will add up to a healthier lake. In the meantime, your chances of getting sick from Lake Champlain are slim. You can make merry — just don't eat the fish or drink the water. ®

Yes, when you get right down to it, movies are simply for our entertainment, and I'm sure many people feel Mr. Kisonak should lighten up and look at films with this in mind. But we must also realize that movies hold a peculiar position in our society. Oftentimes they are not merely entertainment. Bits and pieces of movies may enter our daily vernacular, or they may simply affect us so personally that we feel cheated and maybe even angry when the lights come on and we are forced to deal with real life again. Really good films can let us escape, learn, cry and reflect on ourselves.

KISONAK'S REVIEWS REFRESHING Bravo to Rick Kisonak for finally responding to all of his detractors in such a thoughtful, mature way [Film review,-June 30]. I've been a fan of Mr. Kisonak's harsh criticism since his days on public access with "The Good, The Bad and The Boffo," and although I do agree he's not easily impressed, I've never once thought his reviews were overly wrought with unnecessary negativity. In fact, his honesty is refreshing in a society that tends to let Hollywood do what it pleases to make the most money it possibly can.

MORE RESPECT FOR KISONAK I suspect that [Rick] Kisonak considers film more than just entertainment, and I gather that he is looking for more than a mindless time killer when he settles in with a tub of popcorn. If his detractors [Weekly Mail, June 23] just want some yahoo to rave about every movie, they can catch "Entertainment Tonight." A film critic, however, must be sensitive to the finer aspects of film making, and is undoubtedly disappointed when the process fails. When a movie really works, it triumphantly blends the talents of countless individuals laboring over every scene and every shot. It is attention to detail in the service of an artistic vision that marks great film, and it is not readily achieved. However, just because it is difficult to craft a good film does not validate the lousy ones — the half-assed effort to make some money off the public by feeding us an expensive diversion loaded with special effects but short on personality, hamstrung by a by-thenumbers script targeting some demographic. People should show a little more respect and tolerance for a guy who expects more from movies. Let him have the freedom to express his opinions-and perhaps educate the public without getting lambasted by the popular lynch mob. Why have people gotten so offended? Has he skewered their sense of taste? Has he casually dismissed a movie whose shallow plot line

reeled them in from the first scene? Let it go: Have some faith in this publication. Mr. Kisonak's editors clearly like him enough to print these letters and generate some controversy, so leave well enough alone — and don't forget to catch "Entertainment Tonight" to see what hot movies are in store for Summer '99. — Jeremy Farkas Burlington

Pomfret, where they raise up to 150 beef cattle and also board horses. President of the Vermont Beef Producers association and chairman of the Pomfret Planning and Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional commissions, Emmons is accustomed to large gatherings on his spread. For several consecutive years, Cloudland hosted the New England Angus cattle sale. Still, "its a problem," he says of the prospect of turning his horse arena into a theater. "What are barns for but to put hay in? Not to put on festivals." Emmons is quick to concede, though, that the "gigantic enclosed rectangle" — which he estimates could hold roughly 1000 people — is ideal for theater. Knowing that he's helping the Land Trust, he says, far outweighs the hassles. "I feel great responsibility toward them. I can't say no to something like that. I find it an honor." Emmons' sentiments are apparently shared. In addition to recruiting Cloudland, the Land Trust signed on Putney's Sweet Tree Farm — the only working dairy farm in the festival — and the Spring Lake Ranch in Shrewsbury. Rural Vermont brought in Edgcomb Barn in Warren, Charlotte's Red Barn at Prindle's Corners and the theater-tested Bread & Puppet Farm in Glover. The Land Trust and Rural Vermont co-host the stop at Shelburne Farms.

mmons' support of the Land Trust also gives credence to Yeaton's assertion that the festival consortium is "not a marriage of convenience" forged only to meet NEA requirements. While neither Mad River Rising nor the other works in the festival are overtly political — or even "save the farm" plays, for that matter — the shows evoke some uncanny thematic parallels with the work of the Land Trust and Rural Vermont. In Yeaton's play, the aging Angus Stewart — played by Chuck Meese — flees a nursing home for his family's farm. There he's confronted by ghosts as well as living members of the future generation — including grandson Charlie, played by Yeaton. The playwright describes one of the drama's central

questions as "How do we deal with rapid change? That's an issue I really want to get my teeth into." And the deeper one delves into the play, the closer one gets to the cause championed by the Land Trust and Rural Vermont. "At the core of the drama," Yeaton says, "is the analogy of how we treat the land, how we treat each other and how those become inseparable." The concept of how people treat each other and the land also runs through Never Been Anywhere, but, owing to the visible presence of puppeteers on stage, takes on a metaphorical dimension. Says Eric Bass, who co-directs Sandglass with wife Ines Zeller Bass, "In puppet theater, the manipulator actually holds the actors, and the way you hold the actors, the way you use the actors, is part of what you're seeing. If you use them with care, if you hold them with respect, you're communicating care and respect. || If you treat them as throwaway objects, you're talking about how humans treat each other." The two pieces in Never Been Anywhere are adapted from short stories in Newfane author Castle Freeman's coming-of-age collection, The Bride of Ambrose and Other Stories. The Sandglass production works the farm angle, as Bass describes it, by creating "a feeling for a place" and presenting the dilemma that "there are times to leave and there are times not to." In "That Is No Country for Old Men," a young man struggles to get some chores done while an old codger taunts him about being tied to the farm. In "Not Everyone Can Be a Soldier," a narrator played by Bass tells one boy's tale of a father whose attachments to farm and family fray while he is overseas.

Both works are visually arresting, striking an am%iak|e both in form and theme tharchallenges conventional ^ notions of puppetry. But "its not cerebral work," Bass ~ notes. "I stress the visuality of the pieces and in some ways the playfulness of the medium — that something can be both dark and playful." \ Renowned internationally for its work, Sandglass had been touring Never Been Anywhere in France when good news of the grant arrived. Still, says Bass, "the most exotic place for us to tour is Vermont ...[Barnstorming! will... certainly lend an authenticity of atmosphere. It's almost a performer's dream, in some cases, to perform something in the place that it's about."

"At the core of the drama is the analogy of ow we treat the land, how fflSUTHfSTiJil

ther and how those become inseparable." - playwright Dana Yeaton That sense of place was very much on Woody Keppel's mind when he received Yeaton's invitation to make Waldo — a.k.a. Paul Burke — and Woodhead part of the festival. Although the duo's work is a commission — that is, the act is not a consortium partner — Yeaton and Knights both acknowledge Keppel's long-standing offer to pitch in, even before the barnstorming festival was conceived. "Woody is more than just someone we're presenting at the show," Yeaton says, "Between Eric, Woody and me, Woody is the real farm revolutionary."

Those are not words usually chosen to describe someone best known for making three- to sixyear-olds laugh. Keppel s 1998 video Woodhead Saves the Farm — an agricultural comedy of errors — has received "best o f " honors from a variety of parenting and educational organizations. Orr the barnstorming tour Keppel and Burke bring a touch of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin to the countryside — substituting milk for martinis, of course. In a "milk toast" to farmers, Keppel climbs a ladder with a glass of the state beverage balanced on his head. O t h e r routines include playing music on saws and juggling farm tools. But the zany exterior belies Keppel s serious concern for the deeper messages of the barnstorming tour.

site-manage for the festival. He's unequivocal in his stance on the day's most pressing agricultural issues — chiefly, low milk prices and high taxes. "I love farms and I love farmers, and I think we ought to give them whatever it is they want," Keppel asserts. "It's going to make us feel better, too. They're getting a b u m deal." Rural Vermont program coordinator Christopher Kaufman concurs, urging credit where credit is d u e for the state's bucolic rural landscape. " T h e farmers have never been able to take anything away from that image," he says. T h e physical reality of the barnstorming tour will generate awareness of farm life, but the festival's overarching purpose is to forge connections between the productions — the landscape,

C O O L D R I N K S FOR venues and plays — and individual theater-goers. According to Knights, there are many positive messages to be gleaned in the process. She's optimistic about the current state of agriculture, particularly the diversification of farm operations to include such enterprises as sheep and vegetable farming and cheese production — efforts also championed by Rural Vermont. "You don't have to be just a dairy farmer these days, and that's encouraging," she says. While Knights also notes that Land Trust's initiatives have made farming more appealing to future generations, she sounds the anti-sprawl warning in defending the state's quality of life. "Everybody's got to take a part in this if they want to see Vermont remain the beautiful agricultural state that it is," she says. The barnstorming tour pushes for an even deeper connection between culture and agriculture — a link that's become something of a festival mantra. At stake in the sprawl era,, says Bass, is not just an appealing rural aesthetic, but the sense of identity Vermonters draw from it. It's an argument theater artists and arts advocates often make for preserving cultural institutions. As Bass notes, "Whether [that identity is] experienced in the arts or in the landscape, it's the same identity." For Yeaton, bringing culture and agriculture together under one roof makes barn theater the right tool for exploring spiritual ties to our farming past, present and future. "When I think of my grandfather's hay loft, I think of this enchanted space where everything was fascinating," he says. "When you let your imagination go a little further with that, as I've tried to do in [Mad River Rising, all that history is still sitting there." The barnstorming festival, he says, is a "wake-up call" to recognize the value of what we have before it's too late. "When that building falls down, what happens to those ghosts?" he asks. "Who do we become when those sacred spaces are gone?" Cloudland's Bill Emmons may have a less romantic attachment to those "sacred spaces," but he can't deny his gut instinct to preserve them. As he says, "I've seen a guy renovating a barn and felt like walking over and giving the guy a hundred bucks." He'll fork over much more in the form of in-kind support when the tour pulls onto his property. bat he's confident the event is "good for agriculture. There's a lot to be said and a lot to be * understood. And this is a wonderful way to do it," he says. "It's entertaining." ®

Champlain — yes, it is a "great" lake — landmines and medical privacy. And, unlike Jeffords or Sanders, Leahy still has a policy statement on Kosovo at the very top of his homepage, dated early June, in which he argues in favor of NATO military action. The homepage also offers visitors a scratchy, robotic 17-second personal audio welcome message from the senator. The sites of all three Vermont members include their press releases, but unfortunately we were unable to access the ones provided by Leahy and Jeffords. According to Leahy s Webmaster, Paul Mann, the problem is with

These days on Capitol Hill, Webmasters are as vital as press secretaries. The Internet is the newest way for politicians to connect with voters back home. And the three members of Vermont's delegation have jumped on the Internet with gusto. A few holdouts remain on Capitol Hill, but according to a recent study by American University's Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, "All 100 members of the U.S. Senate and 94 percent of the members of the House have official Web sites."

On a lighter note, Jeffords tops Leahy in the "bells and whistles" category by offering visitors the opportunity to download two songs from his Singing Senators CD: "Dig a Little Deeper" and "Turn Your Radio On." Only a few things are out-ofdate on Jeffords' site. Prospective interns are urged to contact staff member Ryan Erenhouse. But Erenhouse left the senate staff in Washington more than a month ago to take the point on campaign operations in Vermont. Sanders' homepage displays a picture of the congressman with a recent haircut and a second image of different rural Vermont landscapes that changes regularly. Sanders' Web site also offers a search engine for issues, and highlights several likely selections close to the congressman's heart: seniors, veterans, labor, health care, global economy, defense spending and corporate welfare. Sanders boasts the most extensive links of the Vermont delegation, including federal and state agencies, progressive destinations and bike tours of the capital. Among the progressive sites are the AFL-CIO, the

B Y SALLY JOHNSON AND W I L L TERRY

'm afraid of flying, and it has nothing to do with airplanes. I'm afraid of stopping my horse too suddenly and catapulting over his head to do an inglorious faceplant on this hard-baked Addison County clay. Alternatively, I'm afraid of flying sideways off my polo pony as the girth slips and landing directly in the path of flying hoofs too numerous to count. I have to believe that the horses would avoid me, but what I really think is that I would end up looking like Freddy Kruger. I remember clearly my first Friday night polo game at Cobble Hill Farm in Middlebury. Friday night polo is a fledging tradition there — three years old now — and Holly Ward, the godmother of the game in Vermont, intends it to be polo-for-idiots, or at least polo-for-beginners. It was a sunny evening in late June last year, and I had run out of excuses not to play. I found myself sitting on one of Wards quieter ponies wondering what the hell I was doing there -r— me, a woman pushing 50 who hadn't ridden horses in a decade. Inappropriate bravado was the only answer I could come up with. I'd gone to the Palm Beach Polo Club in West Palm Beach to catch the game and the glitterati. Palm Beach Polo is among the best and fastest in the world. The women, I remember, were golden groupies: golden hair, golden jewelry, golden tans enhanced by skinexposing shorts and dresses. T h e men, in contrast, were mosdy lithe and dark, owing to the fact that the best polo players in the world come from Argentina. They rode like speeding bullets and they walked with a bit of a swagger. The obvious exceptions were the patrons, taller and fairer, wealthy men who sponsor polo teams so that they can play on them — and win.

The Vermont polo picture looks a little different. We, on these Friday nights in summer, are a motley crew: a dairy farmer, a golf-course crew worker, a mother of four or maybe five, a freelance writer and a married couple, both of whom are surgeons. In addition two middleschool students are with us — my son and a son of the surgeons. Ward, our coach and mentor, owns a lumber business in Moretown that he runs when he's not playing polo. O n some nights, there are as many as 10 of us, especially when the good players trailer their horses over the mountains from their home base at the Sugarbush Polo Club. We have arrived at an informal rule: Parents and children play on opposite sides; so do husbands and wives. Ward and his whistle tell us when to play and when not to, when we have committed minor indiscretions or when we have done something life-threatening — a possibility when real players are playing at a full gallop. The important rules of polo all have to do with not crossing in front of your opponent, inviting a collision of horse-and-human flesh. You may use your horse to push your opponent away from the ball, or you may use your mallet to stop your opponent from hitting the ball (hooking), but you may never, ever, cut him or her off. That said, there is little danger of Friday night polo happening at a full gallop. We miss the ball as often as we hit it, and when we do, the ball is more likely to meander along the field than to fly. More often in our case, the ball ends up snared in a mass of horses' legs and flailing mallets — Ward calls it "killing snakes" — a scene as inelegant to watch as it is

clumsy to participate in. The ball disappears from view, and we circle the site like vultures after carrion. Wait! There is it!A horse has inadvertently kicked the ball, and the little white sphere has emerged from the fray to appear on an empty patch of grass. We swoop, a pack of kamikaze riders after our target. The woman at the front swings and misses; her opponent rides up behind her and backhands the ball toward the other goal; I drop my mallet to stop it, again reversing the direction of the play — a victory, however brief. What makes polo thrilling are those moments when the ball and the mallet make a solid connection and the ball flies hard and straight. To that end, I dutifully stick- . and-ball a couple of mornings each week, twisting my body into pretzel-like shapes to reach my mallet over my horse's neck and down hard, to send the ball backwards or, worse yet, forwards. I'm about 1 -for-20 on the backhand shot, 0-for-20 on the forehand. "Twist and bend," I hear Ward yelling in my head. I

pair up for polo twist, I bend, I swing, I miss. I try again. Ward has been encouraging me to come play a chukker — a seven-minute period of play, with six chukkers to a game — on the weekend when the Sugarbush Polo Club holds its games. These are every Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. at one of four fields in Waitsfield and Warren. Ward says all I need is experience. I say all I need is to stay alive. I'm content to spend weekend afternoons with a stopwatch in one hand and a clipboard in the other. Being the official timer is fine with me. My son, on the other hand, is not. He likes playing with the big guys, riding as fast as he can as often as possible. But I'll let him tell it:

f you take Friday night polo and multiply it by five, you get Sugarbush polo. It is faster, cleaner and just more fun. First the trailers Start rolling in and lining up facing the field. Then you hear the sound of horseshoes on a trailer floor as the horses are led out and tied up next to the trailer. Then they are tacked. Some players have paid grooms, but most do it themselves with a lot of help from children or wives or, in my case, mothers. Ward spends a half-hour or more making up the teams, which change with each chukker. A whistle signals the start of the game. I bought my first horse, Bill Bailey, in the spring of 1998. Bill is a 20-year-old gray quarter-horse with a mind of his own. He knows the game better than I do, and sometimes he decides to play it his own way. Sometimes

• ^

he stops a little unexpectedly when I'm about to hit the ball. Sometimes I am leaning off him to hit the ball when he decides to make a 90-degree turn and head off in another direction. Each team has four players. My team, the blue shirts, lines up side by side facing the umpire with our opponents, the white shirts. The beginning of the game is always chaotic, with eight mallets swinging at the ball as it flies between the two lines of players. But in the end, usually, it is the two players at the end of the line who get the ball. At a recent game, one of my opponents got the ball and took off down the field at a gallop. A blue shirt moved in and hooked him. A white shirt took back the ball. Meanwhile, Bill Bailey and I were gaining speed, coming up alongside the rider with the ball. I decided to "bump" him — to ride him off. At least, that's what I tried to do. Make no mistake about it: Polo is a contact sport. Bumping can be dangerous because horses and players are often traveling at high speeds. You have to hit your opponent at just the right angle to push him off without running into him. Later in the chukker, after the unsuccessful bump, I made a mistake. A foul, in fact. I crossed the line of the ball. O n the polo field, this is a terrible sin. In polo the right-of-way rule is both the most important and most difficult to understand. Picture heavy traffic speeding down the road, and suddenly one car swerves in front of the others. An eight-horse pile-up at 35 mph can be as dangerous as a multi-car pile-up at 70 mph. As for my standing in the world of polo, I suppose I'm a minus-2 goal-player. Maybe on a good day, a minus-1. The handicap system in polo ranges from a minus-2 to a 10-goal player. A minus-2 goal player is a beginner — a good example being my mom. A 10-goal player is among the best players in the world. • Polo is also hard on the horses. Besides running as fast as a race horse, a pony must shut down, sit and spin on its haunches, responding to its rider like a dance partner, and charge into battle like a war horse, ignoring the sting of mallets and flying balls. A chukker is only seven minutes long because that's all a horse can take. I have two polo ponies now: Bill Bailey and Whiskey, a 12-year-old paint who loves to play. His ears perk up whenever he sees the ball, and he loves to run. Sometimes I think it's funny that I'm out on the field playing "the Game of Kings," the most glamorous, the fastest, oldest and undoubtedly most aristocratic of all ball games. Some of its best-known players have included Walt Disney, Prince Charles, Darryl Zanuck, Will Rogers, Tommy Lee Jones, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable. Now the game is growing in popularity throughout the U.S., and it's not for men only. A quarter of the members of the U.S. Polo Association are women. It's true the game takes an incredible amount of equipment, not to mention a string of polo ponies, but there's no other ball game that gives you quite that adrenaline rush. See you on the polo field? ® Sally Johnson is the editor ofVe rmont Sunday Magazine. Her son, Will Terry, is a freshman in high school.

nless you live under a rock — or have been lying under one trying to keep cool — youve probably heard some fuss about the new state song. Seems the Vermont Legislature, esteemed though they be in other ways, were incapable of singing the old one, "Hail, Vermont!" written in 1938 by Josephine Hovey Perry. So, with all due respect to Josie, they commissioned the Vermont Arts Council to come up with a new one. T h e VAC in turn asked Vermonters to submit entries, probably because they didn't want to be stuck with the job themselves. As reported on these pages a couple weeks back, eight finalists are now awaiting the people's vote to find out which of their tunes is going down in history, and which are simply going down. You can hear the Anxious Eight during morning drive-time on Vermont Public Radio, through July 15. If you really want to contemplate the lyrics, take a peek at VACs Web site, www.state.vt.us/vermont-arts.

T h e n vote yourself for the new state song by calling a special number: 1-800-823-0639. As per the rules of democracy, only one vote per customer! Finally, you can watch a broadcast of the election results and a live rendition of the winning song by blues diva Sandra Wright, on July 15, at 7:30 p.m., on Vermont Public Television. We don't want to mess with due process or anything, but we'd like to share with you a contender for state song that for some reason didn't make the cut. Composed by Seven Days artist Tara VaughanHughes and her husband Pip — a Brit, and happy recent immigrant to the Green M o u n t a i n State — "Vermont: T h e Four Seasons" tells it like it is. You can't vote for it, b u t you can still memorize it and sing it lustily, proudly at the top of your lungs whenever you feel a Vermont m o m e n t coming on. We like it because it's just so...frickin good. — Pamela Polston

Vermont: The Four Seasons

(Instructions for singing: Start low, at a frisky pace — the tune bears a vague resemblance to "Three Blind Mice," but whatever.) Jeesum Crow, Jeesum Crow Pardon my French but I don't frickin know Is the state bird a mosquito? Refrain: Vermont, Vermont, Vermont The home I guess I want. Jeesum Crow, doncha know Leafpeepers blockin up the whole damn road Can't hit a deer 'cause I'm drivin too slow! Refrain

Jeesum Crow, twenty below. Cold enough for ya? I guess so! Gotta go dig out Ron Boudreau! rain

Jeesum Crow, come back sjjow! Mud to the axles and I need a tow. Should've moved to Florida long ago!

mean she can't pay her dues like every other singersongwriter. Unlike most of her peers, though, Nashvillebased Vivian Slade — a dramatic, classically trained singer who lets slip funk, jazz and classic rock influences — started her own label, Human Art Records. Slade offers up a taste of truly original music this week as part of the IndieGirrl Tour — this Thursday at Sweetwaters and Friday at the Burlington Coffeehouse. With Katherine Quinn, Kym Tuvim and Edie Carey.

NORTHERN GOTHIC What are you supposed to make of a performer whose name can be found in the same sentence with Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin, Steve Earle, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Neil Young? How about a country/folk/rock troubadour with gravel in his voice and honky-tonk in his hooks? That would be Fred Eaglesmith, a rural soul singer from above the border.

FOLKWAYS AND MEANS Montpelier's Mark Greenberg has a welcome, if belated, gift for Pete Seeger s recent 80th birthday: his second release of the American folk legend's material for the Smithsonian's Folkways label. Titled Headlines and Footnotes: A Collection of Topical Songs, the 23-track disc — handsomely packaged in cardboard, and with extensive liner notes — focuses on songs that document people, events and historical trends, including the famous "Guantanamera" and "Little Boxes." Greenberg culled hundreds of Seeger songs from the '40s, '50s and '60s for this and his first release — a more political selection titled If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope and Struggle. Greenberg is the proprietor of Upstreet Productions, which specializes in video and audio projects involving traditional folk music and oral history. He also teaches Humanities and American Studies at Goddard College. But it's not just the international folk singer Greenberg has packaged for posterity; South Woodbury singer C O C O Kallis — the longtime vocalist for LoneS O m e Road Band — is thinking about posterity of a different kind. Her Environmental Songs for Kids was picked up by Folkways and was designed for use in schools. Kallis' parallel career as a music teacher — for K-12 at the Twinfield School in Marshfield — has surely informed her kid-smarts, as much as the Road, and a lifetime of musical achievements, have polished her lovely soprano. Bet she never suspected she'd be sharing a catalogue with the likes of Seeger, Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie and Doc Watson. Way to go, Coco. Environmental Songs for Kids also features Kallis' longtime partner Paul Miller as well as other Vermont musical luminaries, including Paul Asbell, Bob Yellin, Gene

nEws White, Andy Sacher and Greenberg himself on guitar, banjo and mandolin. The album, produced and co-written by Greenberg, was recorded mostly at Charles Eller Studio in Charlotte.

FESTERING Never mind that there's a festival in the Green Mountain State every five minutes all summer long; Vermont musicians heed the call of damn near every other festival within driving distance, too. Check out this array: This weekend, July 9-11, The Fourth Annual Ho-Down in Wendell, Mass., put on by Schleigho, tucks Jazz Mandolin Project in with the groovers and funksters (see details in listings); Beatjam '99, July 30-August 1 at Bar Harbor, Maine, finds viperHouse, The Gordon Stone Band and Smokin' Grass on the bill; at the Berkshire Mountain Music

ROCK THE BOAT Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...of a cruise on Lake Champlain. The Albany-based groovers Ominous Seapods will be making waves aboard a 125-person vessel named The Juniper, which, unlike The Minnow, will probably not get lost. Good chance for some listing jams, though. The summer-of-love boat leaves from 2 Dock Street in Plattsburgh, says organizer Lynn Kestenbaum of Burlington, at 1 o'clock on Saturday for a four-hour, two-set cruise — rain or shine. Grab your pod'ner.

ACOUSTIC SYNDICATE

Festival in Great Barrington, Mass., August 13-15, Strangefolk join a lineup that includes Soul Coughing and LOS L0b0S; and that same weekend, August 13-14, Pondstock, in Peru, N.Y., presents Blues For Breakfast, Zola Turn, Blue Fox, Seth Yacovone Blues Band, Jimmy T & the Cobras and Smokin' Grass along with some Adirondack talent for your listening, and camping, pleasure. Closer is clearly better — or at least easier. Stay tuned here for reminders as these fests come up.

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEw DUKE ROBILLARD, NEW BLUES FOR MODERN MAN (Shanachie Records) — It's an odd conceit to claim "new" blues in a genre that generally defies change, and from an artist who is a traditional stylist of it. A founder of Roomful of Blues and playing under his own banner for some two decades since — with a twoyear break for The Fabulous Thunderbirds — Duke Robillard does take his robust guitar-playing in several different directions on New Blues for Modern Man, but I wouldn't call them new. More like deeper into the past, and further south. His Delta steppin' on Charley Patton's "Pony Blues" cries for a Mississippi juke joint, while the original opener, "Jumpin' Rockin' Rhythm" pines for New Orleans. "Don't Fool with My Love" heads back into more familiar, Chicagostyled blues, though, and the sultry "Addiction" keeps it there — thanks in large part to the beefy baritone sax of Doug James. Vermont native Dennis Taylor shows up on New Blues as well. The tenor saxophonist joined Robillard two years ago after a quarter-century of playing with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Buckwheat Zydeco and other blues and r&b greats. Robillards clean-as-a-whistle playing enlivens otherwise standard fare like "Fishnet." James' slow-swing "Good Man" and the even slower "Hurt Me" showcases Robillard's gravelmouthed vocals, a boon to his blues. He tries out a Spanish feel on "You're the Only O n e (Who Can Move Me That Way)," but with surprisingly tepid results. I t s not that the man can't pick it; he just doesn't seem to have his

heart in it, even though he wrote it. Robillard offers a sparse translation of Bob Dylan's "Love Sick" — so sparse, and so slow, you could take a cat nap between the notes if it weren't for the sax runs and Tom West leaning on the keyboard. Robillard's solo here is classic — tasteful, brief, restrained, no need to show off — but is somewhat marred by heavy cymbal treatment from drummer Marty Richards. I must say it's a relief when the Robe relaxes into the sexy roadhouse shuffle of "How Long Baby." The closer, "Big Bottom Blues," is an instrumental that could fit a spy soundtrack like a gun in a holster — the laid-back, rainy-night jazz-blues composition languidly passes the baton from sax to guitar to piano and back to all three at once, without breaking a sweat. Though I generally prefer Robillard over a higher flame, "Big Bottom Blues" is the sweetest track on this disc. There are no surprises on New Blues for Modern Man — even a couple of disappointments. Robillard simply reiterates his — and his band's — mastery of multiple styles, without trespassing the well-worn boundaries of the genre. For fans of American roots music, though, it offers more hits than misses. Duke Robillard brings his rockin' rhythm to Higher Ground this Friday. — Pamela Polston DON RHOADES & THE BACK PORCH PLAYERS (self-released, CD) — Mad River Valley singersongwriter Don Rhoades has good company for his debut eponymous disc. To his agile acoustic plucking the Back Porch Players add Doug (Smokin' Grass) Perkins' masterful flatpicking, Al Roth's mandolin and the mellifluous bass of Jack Garvin. In the beginning, Rhoades seems to favor the Southern rural sounds betwixt Appalachia and Looz-ee-ana — particularly on "Sooner or Later," to which producer Chuck Eller contributes N'Awlins-

styled piano. Folksy fare like "Kitty's Smile" and "Bluebird Song," however, apparently got lost on their way to a Mr. Rogers-style children's record. I'm not particularly cynical, but this stuff is to me the musical equivalent of rubber duckies. Comparatively, "Spread Fred" is a welcome down-homey instrumental — one in which you can imagine yourself happily whiling away an afternoon on one of those famous Vermont back porches. "Father's Song" is sentimental psycho-folk, but Rhoades at least sounds more sincere, and Eller's piano work once again dresses up the background. "Green Mountain Valley" is a sort of folk ballad encapsulating, apparently, Rhoades' life story in his beloved state. It would be a pretty tune as an instrumental — indeed the solo breaks for guitar and mandolin are lovely — but the lyrics are artless and, frankly, tell more than I want to know. The delicate "Spirit Divine," though much too long, comes closer to the mark. There's something about the crystalline sound of his guitar against that unvarnished, unsteady voice that reaches a little deeper than anything else in this uneven collection. The gentle closer, "Power of Love," aspires to provide spiritual inspiration, but falls closer to a New-Agey Sundayschool sermon. It's an unfortunately wimpy exit strategy, and to my mind squanders the pickin' potential among these,Players. The mood will no doubt be livelier when Rhoades brings the Back Porch to Borders in Burlington this Friday. ,

EXQUISITE THAI CUISINE Thai food combines the best of several Eastern cuisines; the oriental bite of Szechuan Chinese, the tropical flavor of Malaysian, the creamy coconut sauces of Southern India and the aromatic spice of Arabian food. Thais then add an abundance of fresh ingredients, coriander plants, chiles & pepper. The result is an oriental "cuisine minceur." Small portions of lean meat, poultry and seafood and plenty of vegetables and salads. Thai food is lightly cooked and so it is crisp, colorful, sharply flavorful and nutritious.

In a summer that kicked off with Star Wars and Austin Powers sequels and featured heavily budgeted mega-releases from John Travolta, Sean Connery, Will Smith and even Adam Sandler, for God's sake, who would ve guessed the most fully realized and brashly original film of the season would turn out to be a cartoon about potty-mouthed tykes? T h e creators of Comedy Central's "South Park" bring their hit show to the big screen and crank the trademark raunchiness up a couple thousand notches. According to reports, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were so annoyed at the ratings board for slapping their last release, Orgazmo, with an NC-17, they deliberately filled their latest with every off-color, lewd and generally tasteless concept known to man. Or, in this case, to tot. As surreally foul-mouthed as it is, however, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut is even more wildly funny. T h e film tells the story of three prepubescent kids who live in a small mountain town. W i t h a little help from a homeless man, they sneak into an Rrated movie starring their heroes, a Canadian comedy duo whose talents appear limited to the frequent use of the term " uncle-f**ker" and chronic flatu-

VIDEO WORLD

lence. T h e kids think they're geniuses, naturally, and at once begin imitating them, to the horror of school personnel and, eventually, their moms. O n e mother is so incensed, in fact, she organizes a pro-censorship campaign, which snowballs out of control and results in the comics being arrested and handed death sentences, as well as the United States going to war with Canada. All of which is a hoot even if it isn't entirely original. (The U.S. went to war with its war in the big-screen neighbor to the north just a few years back in the Michael Moore/John Candy comedy Canadian Bacon) T h e two things that make this the funniest film of the summer are: 1. T h e songs. Did I mention this is a musical? If wittier production numbers have ever been committed to celluloid, I haven't run across them. T h e songs here turn the convention upside down and inside out at the same time. 2. O n e of the great love affairs in the history of film — the dementedly kinky link-up between Satan and a yipping, lust-crazed Saddam Hussein. Though everything in the picture is inspired, nothing comes close to the transcendently loopy brilliance of this pairing, or the depiction of their deteriorating relationship. Satan wants to be appreciated for who he is. Saddam just wants to have sex. I remember reading that the Iraqi tyrant got a huge kick out of Primary Colors. Something tells me what's left: of the Hussein family won't be gathering round the home entertainment center for this one. South Park offers cool animation, snappy, smartassed dialogue, hilarious songs, a story you haven't heard a hundred times before, and a comic vision more refreshing than a showroom full of air conditioners. It may just be the greatest motion picture you'd send your kids to bed without supper for sneaking into. (7)

It's Love-all at Montreal's du Maurier Open

BY JEANNE KELLER

ince the lamented departure of the Volvo Tennis Classic from Stratton almost a decade ago, Vermont lob-watchers have turned their sights to Jarry Park in Montreal for the du Maurier Open, Canada's International Championships. Unlike other national Open events, in Canada the lack of mega-facilities means that men and women compete at different venues during different weeks. Happily for players and viewers, the men's and women's Opens alternate annually between the National Tennis Centre at York University in Toronto and the du Maurier Stadium in Montreal. That means one year we can watch the best men in the world, and the next we can adore the women.

career where he seems to play only the Slams. Two years ago when the men visited La Belle Ville, fans watched upstart American Chris Woodruff fight his way past four top-10 players into a final with Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten — now world-ranked number seven. Despite Brazilians in the upper tier waving flags and chanting "Gu-Ga, Gu-Ga" — their hero's nickname — the National Collegiate champion, now ranked 50th in the world, took the title. It was thrilling. Woodruff will be back this year. Always staged the first week in August, the Canadian O p e n

Super 9 championship. H e went on to win the U.S. O p e n . O n the first weekend of the Canadian O p e n , tour players who aren't ranked high enough to receive an invitation meet to play their way into the event. These "qualifiers," as they are called, are no slouches themselves; they just happen to be ranked 150th or so in the world. This is where you can see the up-and-coming talent. In the past, for example, we've seen the now 39th-ranked Cedric Pioline play as a qualifier, an unknown. Even Andre Agassi, in his basement-year of 1996, had to play as a qualifier in tournaments. T h e beauty of the du Maurier venue, however, is that the dozen or so practice courts surrounding the three main courts are filled every day with top players warming up with their coaches and hitting partners. I've been sprayed by the sweat of Michael Chang's brow, heard Amanda Coetzer argue with her coach, seen how skinny Marc Philippoussis' legs are. For a club tennis player, its a free lesson to watch the legends practice — a reminder of how much work it takes to get there, and that even legends can bury a stupid shot in the net.

I've been the

This year the men will be in Montreal for nine days of tennis from July 31 through August 8. Canada's Open is not a Grand Slam event, like last week's Wimbledon or the U.S. O p e n at the end of August. It is, however, one of the Tier I events for both men and women, just below the Grand Slams. Titled the Mercedes Super 9, Canada's challenge always draws the very top players in the world. '

Six of the top seven players on the men's Association of Tennis Professionals Tour will be in Montreal at the end of the month, headlined by world number-one ranked Andre Agassi, the second-place Aussie Patrick Rafter, Russia's Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Richard Krajicek of the" Netherlands, Brit-blessed Tim H e n m a n and hot-headed Chilean Marcelo Rios — in fact, every player most fans could name, except, of course, Pete Sampras, who's at a stage in his

Your ticket allows entry for a "session," and for the first weekend a session is a whole day. You have a reserved seat in the main stadium court, and free run of the entire stadium. Starting on Tuesday -— when the main play starts and the seeded and famous start battling it out — there are two sessions per day: 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Matches begin about an hour after the session opens. Weather permitting, you can choose among two or three matches on each of the two main courts during a sesv

July 8 - 1 4 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This week's assignment was inspired by a ritual that devout Muslims perform every year during the first morning of their pilgrimage to Mecca. Once before and once after dawn, they cast stones at three 50-foot-high pillars which symbolize the temptations of Satan. Now maybe you don't believe in a literal devil, Aries, but you've got to admit that there's something inside you — though you often imagine it's outside you — that seems to actively obstruct your passionate attempts to become the person you want to be. I'd like you to find or create a representation of that adversary, then shower it with rocks, darts, spit or whatever form of attack gives you a fresh rush of power over it.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Picture a golden crown on the head of an insecure cocker spaniel. Imagine the Dalai Lama using the term "iron cajones" with comic effect to make a point about being spiritually tough. Visualize yourself scaling an icy cliff in'Patagonia while carrying Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head in your backpack. Picture an anarchist skateboarder sitting down and playing an impeccable version of a piano concerto by Chopin. Now contemplate the possibility that these scenes are metaphors for the state of your inner reality. Assuming they are, what would you say is the most important task for you to pull off in the next two weeks?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Usually I'm a crabby cynic when it comes to the Orwellian omnipresence of advertising and self-promotion. But I'm temporarily suspending my objections for your sake. Current astrological indicators suggest that your popularity and salability levels could, with the proper tweak, exceed all previous records. So rent a billboard, Gemini. Take out a full-page ad. Direct-mail your resume to eight million households. In short, get your demographics screwed on straight and promote yourself as if you were

the missing link, the no-stringsattached savior, the fully clothed emperor sent to take the place of the old naked one.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): While reading to my daughter from Dan Millmans book Crystal Castle, I came across his assertion that if you help a baby chick peck its way out of its egg, it'll die. I thought immediately of you, Cancerian. These days you remind me of a vulnerable little creature who's trying to get born by staging a jail break. Your "prison," poignantly enough, is a place or situation which has nurtured you for some time. I wish I could tell you exactly how to smash your way free, but that would leave you unprepared to begin your new life. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Unless you dynamically visualize your conscious desires, your semi-conscious fears will materialize as events in your life. I'll say that again, because if you don't heed this advice, nothing else you do will matter in the coming weeks. Unless you dynamically visualize your conscious desires, your semiconscious fears will materialize as events in your life. Starting tomorrow, Leo, I hope you will have a brief conversation with yourself every morning, during which time you will articulate your best intentions with imperious, relaxed joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I estimate that at any one time you have two really good ideas and five more pretty interesting wild guesses swirling around in your overheated headspace. That's why this week's so astounding. You could add as many as 10 great notions to the pot — a phenomenal increase of 143 percent! Am I predicting a run on the Patent Office by Virgoan inventors? And a

wave of sizzling new trends launched by Virgoan culture vultures? And a sudden, inexplicable .surge of new solutions to longstanding problems by all Virgos everywhere? I hope so.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My eight-year-old daughter, Zoe, is a good-natured pacifist. She shies away from disagreements, and is a master at sowing harmony and joy. I feel it's my duty, though, to help her cultivate forcefulness. I want her to be able to stand up for herself in the conflicts she'll inevitably face. How? In recent weeks one solution has appeared: I appeal to her sense of play. Whenever she's in her tree-climbing, rope-swinging, world-conquering mood, I call her over and say, "Bet you can't make me flinch, Zoe. Bet you can't hit my arm so hard that I blink." A fierce but fun-loving look comes over her, and she punches away until I beg for mercy. This is the approach I'd take with you, Libra, now that its so crucial that you make your willpower more ferocious.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A fable for you: Once upon a time there was a game show in which winners got to choose their prizes. And on this game show there was a Scorpio winner who chose a Volvo station wagon with a mountain bike rack instead of a Lamborghini with an iridium global satellite phone. She also opted for a work-study expedition at an archaeological dig in Syria rather than a luxurious cruise on an ocean liner in the Caribbean. Finally, she decided to take four sessions with a renowned depth psychologist instead of a dinner date with an Oscar-winning movie star. Her family and friends thought she was daft, but she knew exactly what she wanted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Having devoted my adult life to dissolving my prejudices, I've even managed in the past few years to become tolerant towards Christian fundamentalists and macho jocks. There's only one group, I regret to say, that still arouses my irrational bigotry, and that's rich people. If I could only come to regard them with evenhanded objectivity, I'll have reached my goal. What about you, Sagittarius? Are you 4a possession of any narrow-pminded biases? Is there any type of person you allow yourself to subdy discriminate against? Are you harboring judgmental preconceptions which prevent you from greeting life with fresh innocence at every moment? If so, this is prime time to open your mind farther than it's ever stretched before.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Capricorn children rarely have imaginary friends, and the adult members of your sign are the least likely in all the zodiac to claim relationships with angels and muses and spirit guides. This is not to say you never have flights of imagination or bouts of inspiration; you do get your fair share of them. In the coming week, though, I predict you'll have far more than your usual access to prodigal fantasies. A hotline to God? A wormhole to paradise? You may be hard-pressed to deny that these delightful and confounding rushes are arriving from the Great Beyond.

gn Babe Ruth was. (Yours, of urse.) On long hot summer tys, Ruth used to keep a cabage leaf under his hat to cool ff his head, changing it every few innings. I'd like to leave you with that image, Aquarius, and suggest that it's time for you to do the metaphorical equivalent of replacing your old cabbage leaf with a fresh one. As soon as you do, you too will be capable of lifting your team to triumph after a night of full-tilt carousing.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you chose this week to skydive off a skyscraper, or leap over 10 Winnebagos on a Harley, or surreptitiously tape a "Kick Me" sign to the back of your boss, you'd have a pretty good chance of emerging unscathed — not to mention an excellent likelihood of boosting your charisma quotient. But wouldn't you rather use your current excess of daring and pluck in a more constructive way? Like, say, retiring to your bedroom with a very attractive collaborator for a delirious round-the-world fantasy trip? Or embarking on a vision quest for two, beginning with a pilgrimage to an awesome holy spot that flushes all the superficiality out of your intimacy? (Z)

Dear Cecil, I've often read that there were 500,000 morphine addicts running around after the Civil War. Is this true? If so, did narcotics have a deleterious effect on the Old West? How many cowboys were wacko on these then-legal drugs? — Bill, via the Internet

You know, war is a bad thing. Even if we leave out combat deaths and injuries, civilian casualties, property damage, rape and pillage, lingering danger of unexploded munitions, economic disruption, refugees, famine and disease, and possible destruction of the planet, we're still left with things like increased drug addiction. We've already talked about the huge increase in smoking and related diseases due to wide distribution of cigarettes to GIs during World War II. Now lets turn to the massive upswing in narcotics addiction in the latter part of the 19th century — due, some feel, to the liberal use of morphine to ease the suffering of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. At the beginning of the 19th century drug addiction was rare in the English-speaking world, but at the end of the century it was common, at least in the United States. By a conservative estimate the U.S. had 200,000 addicts in 1900, with most of the increase coming in the late 1800s. The Civil War is often blamed for this, and in fact, after the war many called morphine addiction "the army disease." Some historians think the war's influence has been exaggerated. A major factor no doubt was the simple fact that more stuff became available as scientists explored the wonders of drug chemistry. Morphine, for example, was first synthesized in 1803, cocaine in 1859. Still, there's no denying the Civil War's impact. Narcotics were handed out like candy by Army surgeons, who were surrounded by suffering and had few remedies to offer other than painkillers. Nearly 10 million opium pills were issued to Union soldiers, along with 2.8 million ounces of other opium preparations; surely Confederate troops had quite a bit of opium too. One doctor reported keeping a wad of "blue mass" (a powdered mercury compound) in one pocket and a ball of opium in the other. He'd ask soldiers, "How are your bowels?" If the answer was "open" (due to diarrhea), the soldier got opium, if "closed" (presumably because of constipation), mercury. Opiates were used

to treat not just wounds but chronic campaign diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and malaria. Narcotics became even more popular after the war as invalided veterans sought relief from constant pain. But soldiers weren't the only or even the major users of drugs, nor was drug abuse more prevalent in the Old West, as you suggest. On the contrary, casual use of hard drugs was widespread. Several surveys in the Midwest found that the majority of opiate addicts were women; they took drugs for neuralgia, morning sickness or menstrual pain. Mary Chesnut, whose diary was read to haunting effect in Ken Burns' Civil War documentary series, was a regular user. Narcotics could be found in the patent medicines of the day as well as in commonly prescribed medications like laudanum and paregoric, inexpensive opiates that could be ordered through the Sears catalog. Some raised the alarm about morphine addiction as the 19th century drew to a close, but often the solution was substituting some other drug. In 1884 Sigmund Freud recommended cocaine as a means of treating morphine and alcohol addiction. (He also wrote glowingly of coke's value as a mental stimulant and aphrodisiac, views that were still being floated nearly a century later.) "Vin Mariani," a mixture of cocaine and wine introduced in 1865, became a popular cure-all. Coca-Cola, first concocted in 1886, initially contained a small amount of cocaine. In 1898 the Bayer company began marketing heroin as an over-the-counter cough suppressant. (Contrary to legend, however, it was not touted as a cure for morphine addiction.) Reaction, often hysterical, soon set in. Drug opponents in the South claimed that cocaine drove black men to rape white women — perhaps one reason the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola company withdrew cocaine from its recipe in 1903. Increasingly stringent anti-drug laws were passed, to the point where even mild drugs like marijuana became illegal. Given all this, it seems clear you can't blame any one event for the drug culture. Still, if you want to let a lot of bad things loose in the world fast, ain't nothin' beats a war. ® — CECIL ADAMS
