gating. If I had all day

A FREEPS ALTERNATIVE A thank-you is due Peter Freyne for holding our feet to the fire regarding our community’s continued apathy concerning The Burlington Free Press and its corpo rate stranglehold over our printed news. I think we must really ask our selves why this town, which views itself as the Progressive Center of the Universe, has for its daily newspaper such a poorly written, mostly canned, mega-business spin sheet. Oh, I suppose that we Burlingtonians with our higherthan-average education and our “think globally’’ mentality just don’t need a daily hometown rag; so we read the Times or the Post and, probably increasingly, the Journal ( Wall Street, that is). I think we’re wrong. The Burlington Free Press worms its dumbed-down consumerism into our brains, and worse, into our children’s brains, and we should stop it. O r at least give ourselves an alternative. A thoughtful daily newspaper has everything to do with the qual ity of life in a town like ours, more than loud music coming from cars or couches on porches. I, for one, think it’s time for some action. Maybe a study group to uncover G annett’s shenanigans in other

to think I’d have a list

towns, maybe a brave soul with lots of money (about $3 million, I’m told) to start another paper. Anything is possible. — Virginia Winn Burlington D O N ’T ARGUE WITH CRITICS I have been faithfully reading the art criticism column in Seven Days since its inception. One of the things that is quite inspiring is the paper’s commitment to the local and regional art scene. I have always found the reviews and cri tiques to be well thought out and balanced. I have also noticed that whenever one of Mr. [Marc] Awodey’s columns contains devel opmental or constructive criticisms it often engenders at least one, if not a slew, of semi-angry letters to the editor. As a youngster, I was taught to not argue with the umpire at ball games. Sure, that person was only human and they could make mis takes from time to time, but the overriding thing was that they probably had forgotten more than I ever would know about the sub ject. Also, most importantly, it was bad form. That is, it usually served no more than to expose my own ignorance about the topic at hand. The only way to- grow personal ly is to do the things that hurt, and

force oneself to engage in the unfa miliar. I am always encouraging artists to actively seek out critiques from educated observers. I must now also suggest the same to the nascent curators and directors of our burgeoning, but young, art scene here in Burlington. Actively seek out critiques from educated observers, and if the reviews aren’t all positive, don’t attack the critic, ask yourself: “What can I learn ’ from this for the next show?” — Mark S. Waskow Burlington SHAME ON PSYCHIC SHAMS I read your article on Ms. Cleo [Tube Fed, June 27], and hope it goes out to thousands of people. Yes, Ms. Cleo is a sham. Yes, Ms. Cleo’s callers are really actors read ing from a script (my friend knows one of them). Yes, the people answering the phones in the call center do not know what they are doing. I am a psychic. I did work in a call center. I know they hire people off the street whose only qualifica tions are that they are breathing and know how to read English. You forgot to mention the latest scam — for only 99 cents you can talk to Ms. Cleo. Problem with this one is 1) you have to join a “club” and get charged a monthly fee on your credit card for as long

as they can get away with it, and 2) you never talk to Ms. Cleo cuz she doesn’t have the slightest idea of how to read or interpret Tarot cards. You will get her “personally trained assistants.” The company Ms. Cleo works for has no employees that answer the phones. Everyone is an “inde pendent contractor.” Ms. Cleo has no personally trained assistants. When calling Ms. Cleo, you might be connected with someone who lives in California or Idaho, not Florida, where the commercials originate from. You can’t train someone to be psychic — either they are or they are not. Thank you again for trying to get the word out about this phony psychic. — Barbara M.

The girl, however, seemed riveted by this guy’s life story. “Well,” she said, leaning for ward in her seat, “I grew up in Burlington, and I’ve never lived anywhere else.

recently snagged a double off the evening Amtrak. The man sitting next to me, maybe in his early twenties, was going “anywhere downtown, man.” He had long, curly hair spilling onto ■his shoulders, and carried two well-worn backpacks. In the back sat an attractive young woman who had told me, as I loaded her luggage into the trunk, that she lived in and worked for the youth hostel down Heineberg Road in the New North End. I wouldn’t call her prim, but in contrast to the scruffy road warrior in the front seat, she was Martha Stewart. As we pulled out of the train station, my seat mate was in fidgety motion, adjusting his bags, transfer ring various objects — ciga rettes, wallet, notebooks and . the like — from one com partment or pocket to another, while constantly pulling his waterfall of hair t m i back from his face. Amidst this flurry of activity, he was r im in g talking, in a non-stop gush, to the girl in the back. “Yeah, the Hartford show was awesome. Phil was playin’ great — really into unperturbed.

is a cavalier attitude towards car ing for your children. Number 2* is calling that “freedom.” At the southeast corner of Church and Main, the hot-dogand-sausage guy was setting up his cart, “The Dog House.” His massive, drippy offerings are a big hit with the late-night crowd. I’ve spent many a night mopping up the toppings — gifts left by my fares in the back seat of the cab. Still, I love this particular local entrepreneur, if only for the two signs on either side of his cart. One says, “Beware of the Dog.” The other, “Big Ass Dogs” — precisely my brand of humor. “Hey,” the guy said, suddenly turning in his seat and flashing a broad smile to the woman in the back, “are you doing any thing later tonight? Maybe we could hook up somewhere.” “Let me think about it,” she replied. “Where will you be hanging out?” “Probably right around here,” he said, motioning towards Dunkin’ Donuts and Muddy Waters, where I had pulled over. This stretch of Main Street is where the new-style hip pie kids hang out, playing drums and guitars and camping out on the sidewalk. “All right, well, we’ll see, then,” she said, fully noncom mittal, but with a smile nonethe less. The guy paid the fare, gath ered up his bags and exited into the bustling street scene. I pulled back into traffic, heading to the New North End with the young woman. “Well,” I said after about a minute. “Well,” she said, and.let out a laugh. “Do you believe that guy tried to pick you up?” I asked. “I mean, after telling you about his two women and two daughters?” “He was, like, dreaming,” she replied. “I was kind of interested in his trip, but it’s not like I would ever consider hooking up with a person like that.” “Well, I suppose you can’t blame the guy for trying,” I said with a chuckle. “Nope,” she said. “Guess ru)t.’.’ ®

Rene Kirby B y P a m e la P olston ene Kirby is accustomed to standing out in a crowd. Well, not exactly standing. Born with spina bifida, the 46year-old Burlington resident is missing about “a foot o f my body, no pelvic bone” he explains, and walks on all fours — that is, impels himself with powerful gymnast’s arms and huge, calloused hands — and wends his way through the streets atop a customized three-wheeler. N o question Kirby turns heads when he clambers off his “bike” at, for example, Red Square, one o f his favorite Church Street haunts. Knots o f fellow customers tend to fall silent in awe, compassion or pity, and try not to stare. Kirby is breezily unconcerned. “Around 18, I realized everyone has a handicap,” he says. “If you are a prejudiced person, you’re more handicapped than anybody, because you close so many doors. After that, I realized that I didn’t car~ what anyone thought.” That attitude is both hum bling and infectious to anyone who meets Kirby. Spend a little time .with a man who walks on his hands — and laughs about “stepping” in dog shit — and, well, you begin to see things a lit tle differently. It worked for Peter Farrelly, who sees moviemaking a litde differently. One half o f the

Rhode Island-born filmmaker duo who scored hits with Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary, he was a frequent Red Square patron him self a couple years back, while in town filming Me, Myself & Irene. One typically crowded night, Kirby came in with some friends. “We went to the back door and didn’t realize it was a cast party,” he recalls. He literally bumped into Farrelly, and tapped him on the knee to get by. Farrelly looked around, and then down. “He followed me to my table and talked to me for hours,” says Kirby, who ended up with a role in the Farrellys’ upcoming film, Shallow Hal. N ot coincidentally, “the movie’s about inner beauty,” he explains. “It’s what’s inside a person that counts.” “When I first saw Rene, he was a force,” says Farrelly — in Burlington, and Red Square, again recently on his way to Montreal to promote another movie. “The personality, the way he moves through the world, the whole package. I had to get it on film.” “Peter and Bobby Farrelly have the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen in my life,” enthuses Kirby. “When they see something dif ferent, they have to have it for their next movie.” That some thing different includes a young disabled boy who also walks on his hands. He plays Kirby’s nephew in the film.

As for his own role, “Rene was great,” affirms Farrelly, as a guy who makes a fortune by sell ing his software company to Microsoft. “I play a billionaire,” Kirby clarifies. “The script was written for me, for all the things I do.” Those things include, but are not limited to, downhill ski ing, Rollerblading, dancing on crutches,-singing with a band and, o f course, riding his bike. The best part? “Kissing Brooke Burns and Sascha Knopf — they’re both my girlfriends in the movie,” he says with a mischie vous grin. Kirby seems born for stage or screen; he has a broad, handsome face only slightly softened by middle age, big brown eyes, a Hollywood-perfect set o f teeth

Vermont actress and drama teacher was hired by Peter Farrelly to prepare Kirby for his role. She worked with him for three months in Burlington, and stayed on the North Carolina movie set working his lines for another three. “Rene,” Kiley agrees, “is a natural.”

prawled on the living room floor o f his cluttered house in Burlington’s Lakeside neighborhood, Kirby is happy to show off photos o f himself with the stars o f Shallow Hal — Gwyneth Paltrow, Jack Black, Jason Alexander — and its crew. While clearly pleased at this cinematic turn o f events in his life, he takes it in stride. After all, his life has already been remark

ing developing his own Web site, and applying for an actor’s union card. “You can get medical cover age if you make enough money per year [as an actor],” he explains. “I’m slowly feeling my way into the movie world.” Kirby has a strong track record o f entering “worlds” that a lesser being might have thought out o f reach. Recounting his childhood in Essex Junction, which he calls “a blast,” he was as avid about “huntin’ and fishin’” as the rest o f his family. The sec ond o f seven children, he’s still close to his family: His parents and two brothers live in the same neighborhood, another brother and two sisters are a little further away in Burlington, and his third sister lives in Jericho.

Until he was 10, Kirby got around on his hands. Then his father had a special bicycle made, which runs by turning a hand

Chris Kleeman & Malkum Gibson Vermont-based bluesman and picker Chris Kleeman has been on the road entertaining folks from New England to the Caribbean for more than 20 years. Joining Kleeman is the equally talented bluesman Malkum Gibson, a master mouth harp player who has performed with Rhythm in Shoes, Buddy Guy, and Commander Cody.

in American old-time music, he’s won acclaim for his guitar, banjo, and fiddle playing and sings original songs that are humorous and thought-provoking.

Ken Mackenzie Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, piper Ken MacKenzie’s repertoire includes Scottish, Cape Breton, Irish, and Quebecois. He has performed with Jean Carignan and Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

Linda Leslie

Matapat

Linda Leslie lives in New Bedford, Mass., and travels throughout New England as a caller. She is known for her resonant voice, clear teaching, and enthusiasm.

This Quebecois trio of Benoit Bourque (per cussion, feet, bones), Gaston Bernard (man dolin, fiddle, and guitar) and Simon Lepage (bass) harmonize beautifully on songs and ballads that are introduced in English and sung in French and include jigs, reels, . quadrilles, and rondeaux.

Tom Lewis With a powerful delivery anchored firmly in his native Celtic style, Tom Lewis embraces shanties and sea songs from his own seafaring background (a 24-year veteran of the British Submarine Service) as well as English Music Hall songs and traditional ballads.

JoelM abus Midwestern musician Joel Mabus links the traditional and the contemporary. With roots

David Millstone David Millstone began contra dancing in the early 1970s and has been calling dances for the past 20 years. With a repertoire ranging from traditional New England chestnuts to high-energy compositions, he calls contras, squares, and dances in odd formations.

Rick Mohr Rick Mohr has been leading exceptional con tra dance events across New England and beyond for 15 years. He is also a contra cho reographer, writing dances popular across the country, and a contra fiddler.

moves easily from guitar to accordion to har monica to kazoo while Weisman offers a mix of vocals, harmony, and fiddle.

RIG (Sarah Lee Guthrie, Johnny Irion, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger) This trio carries on the tradition of grandfa thers Woody and Pete with a mixture of bal lads from various English speaking cultures, American political movement songs, Latin American revolutionary anthems, country/western blues, original compositions, and even some classically inspired rounds.

Scuttlebutt Rik Paliert

Midnight Capers A mixed (men’s and women’s) Morris side, this Cabot-based group has been delighting Vermont with traditional English perform ance dances for nearly 20 years. They special ize in Cotswold Morris, and their Kingsbury Branch dance is widely recognized as an inno vation in Morris choreography.

Rik Palieri is a talented singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and storyteller who moves easily from singing an old ballad while playing a fretless banjo to squeezing out an instrumental on the Polish bagpipes.

Bob Zentz, Rick Lee, and Rick Epping com bine their individual talents as multi-instru mentalists to present a musical portrait of sailors, ships, and the sea, including tradition al and contemporary sea music from Celtic to calypso.

Tom Paxton

Sleepy Hollow Morris Dancers

A voice of his generation, folk legend Tom Paxton has been an integral part of the song writing and folk music community since the early 1960s and continues to be a primary influence on today’s “New Folk” performers. Accompanying Paxton will be Geoff Bartley.

Based in Essex, this group presents dances from the northwestern part of England. Bells, be-ribboned sticks, flower garlands, cloth slings, bobbins, and wooden clogs are integral parts of this dance tradition, which grew out of the town festivals of early 19th-century Lancashire.

Stan Ransom Hailing from Plattsburgh, NY, Stan Ransom is a traditional folk song singer and player who focuses on New England and New York State music and folklore, especially that of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.

Reckless Abandon (Larry Unger, Nat Hewitt Colin McCaffrey) New England contra dance band Reckless Abandon is known for their wild contras, smooth swings, fine Irish, and old timey tunes. Their high-energy music is enjoyed by dancers of all ages.

Robert Resnik & Gigi Weisman These Burlington-area favorites bring chil dren’s music alive for spirits of all ages. Resnik

Jane Voss & Hoyle Osborne Jane Voss performs American roots music, moving from old-time country to classic rhythm-and-blues to Celtic-tinged contempo rary folk sounds. Accompanying herself on strong Carter Family-influenced guitar, she is also ably aided and abetted by her longtime partner, the extraordinary pianist Hoyle Osborne.

Due north? We tried our best to follow Bills direc tions, but there were so many blue mobile homes, and hell if we could find north. Sg. when we saw a red pickup in front o f a mobile hom e that said “For Sale,” we pulled over. “You Bill?” I asked hopefully. “N ope,” answered a hairy-chested man with no shirt and a small gut hanging over his denim shorts.

I’ll just run inside and get the phone and you can talk to him about the truck.” N ot even Jennifer and I'were naive enough to fall for that one. “Thanks any way,” I said. “But were looking for a Bill who has a pickup for sale near a blue mobile hom e.” “O h, you’re looking for Bill. He’s just

“ Wait, your ex-boyfriend is lettin 3 two girls pick out a truck for him?” “ Yes,” I replied, “ he’s that______ open-minded... and lazy.” ____ a “Oh. Well, we’re looking for Bill, who’s selling the pickup truck.” “O h, yep, he’s just across the street.” We drove across the street, where another shirtless man walked toward us, looking quizzically at Jennifer and me. “You’re Bill, selling the pickup, right? The same Bill who has been giving us directions for the last half hour?” asked Jennifer. “Nope, but I do have a pickup for sale,” he replied. We looked at his red, rusted-out Nissan with hastily applied paint that was fooling no one. “Runs real good, this truck. My father-in-law just picked it up.” Just then his wife came outside. “I wanted to buy this truck myself, but I just

over the hill, third driveway on the left. The Jack of all Trades.” Finally, we found our Bill, mercifully wearing a T-shirt. He was a big guy, who I suspected knew exactly where the creemee stand was. Sitting on his porch overlooking a fiefdom of used cars, old boats and a huge tool shed, he was working the phones when we arrived. “Well, you made it,” Bill said, putting his hand over the receiver. “You’re not from around here, are you? I’ll be with you in a minute. T h at’s the truck over there.” We circled the pickup. It had a nicelooking cab, but the flatbed was wooden, makeshift and small. N ot good for hauling big pieces of lumber, which was Neil’s

intention. And, more importantly, not good for transporting Jennifer’s sofa back to New York. We knew right away this wasn’t the one, even if it was only a thou sand bucks. Bill didn’t care, though. After he got off the phone, there was no tag-team hard-sell like with the other guy and his wife. Bill seemed to want to take us under his wing. He gave us a crash course in buying a used truck. “Is this truck for you?” he asked Jennifer. v“No, it’s for a friend in New York City.” “Oh, so you’re going to drive it back. In New York you have to have a cap over the flatbed. It’s the law. Do you have insur ance?” “No, I was just going to drive it 250 miles and hand it over to Neil,” Jennifer said. “Well, I suggest you iet Neil pick out his own truck. Trust me, whatever you get he won’t be happy with. I know men and trucks. I don’t mean to be nosy, but who is this Neil, and why are you doing this for him?” “Neil’s our mutual ex-boyfriend, and we’re doing this so I can haul some furni ture back to New York.” “Let. Neil pick out his own dam n truck, then drive up to Vermont and fetch the sofa for you,” Bill suggested. I began to wonder if Bill was single. “You don’t know Neil. He would never do that. Too ‘inconvenient,’” I said, remembering all the movies I’d returned because Neil was too busy reading op-ed pieces or obsessing over his dog’s arthritis. “A final piece of advice: If you’re going to buy a truck, don’t do it in northern Vermont.

G uide,” Bill suggested. “It’ll list trucks for sale down in Massachusetts that are in much better shape than up here. Down there you can find yourself a real nice pick up with no rust.” “If Vermont is such a bad place to buy a pickup, then why does half of Bristol seem to be selling one?” I queried inno cently. “Well, a lot o f people go down to Massachusetts or New Jersey, buy a cheap pickup and then re-sell it in Vermont for a couple hundred m ore.” I pictured car-trafficking rings in south ern New Jersey catering to the Vermont fetish for Volvos, Saabs and sturdy pickups. “But if you want a boat,” Bill contin ued, “then I could really help you o ut.” “Bill, it’s been an education. But we’re clearly in over our heads here. By the way, what does ABS’ stand for?” “Antilock breaking system. First intro duced in 1985 to help drivers optimize the pressure they apply on the brake pedal in an emergency situation.” “And ‘fully loaded?”’ “T h at’s a lot more truck than you’ll find for $1000 dollars.” To salvage the evening, Jennifer and I drove to M iddlebury and had dinner. We drank to Bill — and to getting fully loaded. “Jen, w hat’s wrong with us?” I asked after my first glass o f wine. “Driving 70 miles to do favors for Neil. I feel like a doorm at from a Tammy W ynette song. Say you had bought Bill’s pickup, do you think Neil would have even paid you back?” “Probably not. But look at it this way,” offered Jennifer the optimist. “Now we’re experts on used trucks. If you’re ever on “W ho W ants to Be a Millionaire?” at least you won’t get stum ped by ‘W hat does ABS stand for? ” ®

B y P aula R qutly all it a political stun. Instead of meeting over coffee to discuss iu-s accom plishments in the area of alterna tive transportation, Burlington Citv Councilor Chapin Spencer suggests an evening cycle along the bike path. The Progressive politician is in his element in the rush-hour crush of ’bladers, strollers and runners heading north along the lake. At the mouth of the Winooski River, he’s ready to talk. “This is an emerging recre ation area of Burlington,” he says of the summer scene, a Norman Rockwellesque convergence of fishermen, kayakers and swim mers by the Auer Family Boathouse ai the north end of Burlington. T hat an old pontoon boat is ferrying cyclists back and forth across the narrow stretch of water between the Queen City and Colchester seems perfectly natural — even picturesque. In truth, getting the bike ferry in gear was a three-year battle — fought by Spencer and cohort Brian Costello —- that led to the creation o f Local Motion, a non profit organization that promotes non-motorized transportation in Burlington. As executive director, Spencer is pushing hard to extend the bike path north to Quebec via the old foundation o f the

Rutland Railroad. 1he higgex; obstacle is a gap in the specraeuiar three-mile causeway C a: con nects Colchester and South Her* *. W hether vou see him as .; "bicycling baron or a locoLuddite, 3 ! -year-old Spencer uas definitely"made an issue of alter native transportation. Made it bis issue, in fact, “ifs like being, an entrepreneur,” he offers. “You find a market niche that is lack ing and you punch a hole through it... Most people don’t see transportation as being sexy, but I think it’s fascinating how it affects people’s everyday lives.” Spencer’s the guy who resur rected the Burlington Bike Council, organized “bike week” and cycled to dozens of Circ Highway meetings to speak out against the proposed road, even tually co-founding the official opposition: Vermont Transport ation Alliance. He chairs the transportation committee on the Burlington City Council and was recently appointed to the board o f the Chittenden County Transportation Authority. But today he’s on a mission to get the word out about the “Holy Grail o f Rail-Trails” — from his paniers, he pulls freshly printed T-shirts and new maps promoting the notion o f a 41-mile “Island Line” o f bikeways from Oakledge Park to Canada. “How was your ride today?”

Spence:- calls our ro a coupie or shir ties'.' voung dudes coming od the ferrv .von; Colchester. “Awesome. We went all rht wav to rl'ic missing i:nk. one sax's of the inrnaround point. Spencer briefs the box* on the bike path. After five w ars lobbying for the Burlington Skatepark, the youngest member of the Bur lington City Council knows bet ter than anyone that punks can grow up to be voters and activists. Further, he makes the connec tion between wheels and quality of life. “Kids come down from Colchester with skateboards, use our skatepark, and get back before dinner. They learn inde pendence. T he soccer mom does n’t have to drive. The kids are stoked..They’re like, ‘See ya, ma.’ T hat wouldn’t work in Essex.” “Happy Trails,” he calls after the boys as they ride off. pencer rightly identifies Vermont’s ultimate ecochallenge — matching environmental ethics to trans portation practices. But his approach to that conflict has changed over the years. The son o f a chemical engineer at DuPont, Spencer grew up in an upper-middle-class family in Delaware. He went to private high school before shipping off to

Pedal Pusher continued from page 21a Trinity College in Hartford, which he remembers as an “ivory tower surrounded by people who didn’t have money to get a meal.” That hypocrisy, which dis turbed him deeply, pressed him into community service. Later, it caused him to drop out o f college and join a clandestine political group in Philadelphia — a Stalinist faction o f the Com munist Party that “seemed to have all the answers,” says Spencer. He got “disillusioned” after about nine months because “there was no room for the indi vidual in their movement at all.” After college, Spencer headed south to Central America, where he was an observer in the Salva doran elections. He spent time in Cuba and Mexico before heading to Burlington for a job develop ing housing cooperatives as a VISTA volunteer. His supervisor, Yiota Ahladas, promoted him to VISTA leader. Later, he was hired on as a staffer at the Community and Economic Development Office to oversee the program in which he served. “I knew early on I wanted Chapin at the helm ... He moved very quickly getting to know the community,” Ahladas recalls, not ing Spencer was able to “embrace both the big picture and the dayto-day tasks, which don’t always complement each other.” Describing Spencer as a “terrific salesman” and an “agitator,” she

concedes, “If you’re not on his side, he’s a pain in the neck.” One misstep still sticks in her mind: When President Clinton visited Burlington, Ahladas asked Spencer to meet him at the airport on behalf of the VISTA program. He showed up carrying a “Free Mumia” sign, inspiring an angry call from Washington. Although he chuckles at the political prank now, and claims to have mellowed, Spencer still defends himself with high-mind ed idealism. “Our society doesn’t treat everybody well. We have a responsibility as well-off citizens in a well-off country to combat that every day o f our lives... Life is short. We all have values. If you don’t live your values, I think you are wasting a life. That’s just how I see it.” Spencer’s views on transporta tion developed as a result of direct experience. Living without a car for a year and a half in Burlington made him aware of “the power imbalance” between auto owners and pedestrians, as well as others left out of the loop: elders, young people and disabled folks. He started seeing public transport as an issue o f “social justice.” Whether he is talking about a “car-centric paradigm” or “restor ing poetry to motion,” Spencer clearly gives a lot o f thought to getting around. He’s the first to admit it’s an uphill battle con vincing Americans — even likeminded Burlingtonians — to give

up their own warm wheels in order to take the bus, train or bike. Spencer took the hard line, and his righteous reasoning often rubbed opponents, particularly transportation officials, the wrong way. “I used to, think everybody who had a car was a jerk,” he recalls. “I was pissing people off... and I didn’t make as much progress as I wanted to.” Spencer has since modified

N o arm-twisting is required on a sunny summer evening on the Burlington bike path. Showing people how much fun it is to bike or walk in their free time is the first step toward turn ing them into non-motorized commuters, Spencer believes. Indeed, the bike path may turn out to be the best sales strategy for alternative transportation — especially if it’s a way to avoid the tangled traffic on Route 7.

Vermont. You can’t help but get better at that when you serve on the city council.” As Spencer, who owns an old, beat-up Chevy pickup, puts it, “I used to be an agitator. Now I’m a fighter for a vision where trans portation nourishes a community instead o f divides and destroys it.” That means he is actively engaged in finding viable solu tions to reduce the number of cars on the roads, such as a pro

III ■II a I H that antagonistic approach — you might even say he’s had an orga nizational epiphany. “I got tired of yelling at people, trying to affect change by working through a process where the cards were stacked against me.” He’s come to understand “Vermonters realize their cars are polluting the state. We just need sound, reasonable alternatives to present to people.” If that sounds like a sell-out, it’s not. “Chapin is persistent but also practical,” notes Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. “He tem pers his vision with an under standing of the reality of life in

posed city-sponsored program that rewards walking, biking and carpooling commuters with cash. “There is no stronger motivation in the United States to get people to commute in an ecological way,” Spencer notes. He is also working to change the way mass transit is financed in Vermont. “We’ll never get decent bus service in this county as long as it’s funded by the regressive property tax,” says Spencer, who predicts a strong, tri-partisan coalition will fight for the cause in the next legislative session.

n r

Tourists might prefer it, too, and you can’t beat the view. “This is Burlington’s numberone untapped economic devel opment strategy,” says Spencer, sounding like the “community entrepreneur” he aspires to be. “People are calling up all the time about the Burlington Bike Path and what it connects to. What could be more amazing than to bicycle from downtown Burlington, through Lake Champlain, to the orchards and vineyards o f South Hero? That would make this rail-trail a world-class destination.” (7)

Calling ’Boarding brothers hit the ground skating tv

B y S u sa n G reen

f' Jjmm

Collin, Cody and Pam Hale

hen Collin Hale of Underhill executes a kick-flip-backside-tailslide, the world takes notice. T he 15-year-old impressed the judges at a Burlington skateboarding com petition in June, at least, when he won the top prize for his age group. D itto for his brother Cody, 12. Moreover, the gravity-defying Hale boys have their very own cheerleader — Mom. “I need to support whatever they want to do,” says Pam Hale, 44, who works in prom otions at W IZ N -FM . “We stand behind them .” “We” includes her husband, Paul, a sem iconductor engineer. W hen their sons first took up the sport in 1999, “we made

them a skate park in the basement so they could skateboard all w inter,” she recalls. Collin and Cody practice their maneu vers daily, also using skateboards w ithout wheels on a trampoline. “You get more air time that way,” Collin explains, referring to the extra bounce that allows boarders to get a feel for new tricks w ithout injury. T he Hale family circus is slated to go on the road soon. This week, they head south on a com bination business tripvacation that will further encourage Collin and Cody. “W e’ll stop in all the cities with interesting skate parks,” she says. “New York City, Philadelphia, W ashington, D.C. and Virginia Beach.” They’ve already investigated skate parks like the Ridgefield in Connecticut and Le Taz in M ontreal, as well T he Zone, The

U b of Pdy Weekend Addison County Field Pdys New H^ven, VT

«■**

Mesa, The Yuma and The Eldorado in Arizona, where the Hales lived for three years before moving back to Vermont in 1998. In the fall, when Paul Hale has a work assignment in Amsterdam, the whole gang might explore European skate parks. “Our passports are ready,” Pam points out. Collin will be able to try out the instal lations — ramps with names like half-pipe, U-bowl, pyramid and cheese-wedge kicker — at many o f these locales. For the moment, Cody is nursing a fractured left ankle, sustained while doing a backside nose grind earlier this month. His leg will remain encased in a chartreuse cast until mid-August. Cody’s first thought after the injury was about the future: “How am I going to land the next time?” he asks. Both kids have scrapes and bruises from previous collisions with the ground, but this does not deter them from their passion. “Rollerblading is too easy,” Collin declares o f an activity that preceded skate boarding in his young life. “I wanted more of a challenge. I also wanted to rely on myself versus a team. And I love the rush you get figuring out a new trick for the first time.” Those tricks all have snappy names: The ollie, a leap off and back on the board. The hard flip, which involves turn ing the board over and landing on it. And there’s the K-grind, the 360-flip, the nollie-backside-lipside, all insider’s lingo that adds an element o f mystery to observers o f the game. When Collin entered the competition in June, he was surprised to do so well. “There were so many really good skate boarders, I never thought I’d win any thing,” he says. On Saturday, he tied for third place in his age division at the Burlington International Games, an annu al athletic tug o f war between the similarly

named cities in Vermont and Ontario. “Those Canada kids are pretty good,” he observes. Skateboarding is the rage among youngsters across North America. “It’s a $3-billion-a-year industry, along with in line skating, BMX biking and roller skat ing,” says Hannah Schwartz, general man ager o f The B Side, a Burlingto'n store that specializes in the recreational activity and its winter parallel, snowboarding. “It’s real ly grown,” she adds. “This community is starting to accept it with open arms.” Although Schwartz has been skate boarding for about 10 years — now most ly on The B Side’s indoor ramp — she sees it as “mainly a male-dominated sport.” Testosterone is probably involved in this ritual courting o f danger, yet Schwartz has heard that “there are more injuries in baseball than skateboarding. But its great for getting the aggression out o f your sys tem. People also like it because it can be done alone; you don’t have to find 15 friends to play,” she explains. “It’s extreme ly hard and requires a strong sense o f bal ance and coordination. Skateboarders are fearless.” Schwartz’s boyfriend, David Wood, designs and builds skate parks — includ ing those in the Queen City and in Barre. “In 1984, I was 12 when I started build ing ramps in my hometown o f Shirley, Massachusetts,” he recounts about his ini tial foray into the craft. “They were unheard o f at the time, but I saw what California had.” Now 28 and armed with a college degree in construction technology, Wood has been busy. “The need became appar ent as the sport grew more popular,” he notes. “A lot o f towns wanted skate parks but didn’t know how to go about it.”

In the late 1990s, he created three New England skate parks “and since then, I’ve done 10 more municipal projects.” Wood is about to build a state-of-theart park in Greenfield, Massachusetts. “It’s going to be 21,000 square feet,” he says. “That’s almost three times the size o f the one here, which is way too small. It’s what they wanted, but Burlington really didn’t get much for the money.” Recent news reports have indicated skateboarders are starting to show up on downtown streets again because of cramped conditions at the waterfront skate park. On a late July weekday morning, Collin is one o f about 15 kids using the facility. Some are Rollerblading or even riding bicycles, seemingly too much for

guess it’s a thrill to be where you’re not supposed to be,” she says with a sigh of resignation. Hale is also resigned to the fact that both boys eschew wearing helmets. “At a certain age, it’s almost not cool anymore,” she laments. “It’s so controversial. There are skate parks that require helmets. I do think it’s important, but I’m not always with them.” Helmets are the rule on The B Side’s indoor ramp, and Schwartz is an advocate for skateboarding safety. “Hit your head a couple o f times and you’re not coming back,” she warns. Wood agrees. “The more pads the bet ter, because broken wrists and ankles are the most common accidents. And a hel

the 8000-square-foot space to easily accommodate. It’s not the busiest time slot, but the scene is practically elbow to elbow. Along with other enthusiasts, Collin and Cody have been known to skateboard at Courthouse Plaza on Main Street, in front of the Royall Tyler Theater or the Bailey-Howe Library at the University of Vermont. The campus police often chase them away. Sometimes the brothers video tape each other at these outings. When their mother watched one o f the tapes, she was astounded to see them skateboarding through the halls o f a UVM building. “I

met is always a good idea. You can do per manent, serious damage.” Potential bodily harm aside, W ood still loves skateboarding himself. “It gives you a feeling o f freedom, even just rolling around. It’s a limitless challenge,” he enthuses. “There’s always something more to learn, and you never get bored. I’ve seen some really skilled 5-year-olds and people in their late forties who are still really good.” Wood describes skateboarding as “a fountain o f youth.” For Collin and Cody Hale, it’s just a childhood full o f kick-flipbackside-tailslides.

ally a Democrat. Perfectly understandable. Not as easily understandable, however, is the dramatic, 180degree reversal Congressman Bernie Sanders pulled off last week without even blushing. On Monday, OF Bernardo was proudly announcing to the TV cameras his marvelous attain ment of an $850,000 hand-out from Uncle Sam to help King Streets Good News Garage (GNG) make the move to bigger and better digs on the north side of town, . The GNG is a project of Lutheran Social Services of New England and is prominently fea tured on the church agency’s Web site —- www.lssne.org. Back in Foggy Bottom on Wednesday, OF Bernardo appeared to completely erase the memory of what he had just done in Burlap. Mr. Sanders railed against President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative. Dubya wants to reach across the churcii-and-state no man’s land to permit more federal dollars to go to religious organizations that help the have-nots of America. Sanders bitterly opposed it.' I he Bern said, “W hat we should not do is intermix government and religion in a wav that blurs the line between the two... Jeczum Crow, Bernie, what about d’em Lutherans? Web Site Upgrade? — Across the pond, Ch. 5 has a completely overhauled Web site. W PTZ-TV is but one pearl in Hearst-Argyle’s 28-station string. In tact, when M ik e iow nsend, the newly chosen edi tor-in-chief of The Burlington Free Press, arrives from Iowa, Ch. 5 s newscast may help to make him feel at home. That’s because Hearst-Argyle owns the CBS-affdiate back in Des Moines. Same corporate culture. Same look on the talent side. Even the Web sites look identical. Check out KCCIT V at www.theiowachannel.com. W PTZ, headquartered in Plattsburgh, New York, is now calling itself the “Champlain Channel.” How original. You’ll find it at www.thechamplainchannel.com. The Web page is clut tered with blinking ads and more useless information than you’ll ever want to avoid. With WCVB-TV in Boston, W M UR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire, and W N N E-TV in W hite River Junction, HearstArgyle has quietly become the 800-pound gorilla in New England television. The one and only thing local online news junkies are interested in is the transcript of the Ch. 5 newscast. News, even TV news, is a first draft of history. And every now and then, Ch. 5 has a damn good scoop. Guess what? W ith the new upgrade, the Champlain Channel no longer offers news transcripts on its Web site. Nor do the other HearstArgyle station Web sites we checked. Surprise, surprise! As Ch. 5 proudly declares in its Mission Statement: “We will increase our revenues by provid ing value and satisfaction to our advertisers.” Really?

Patriotism Waits Patiently — WCAX-TV and the City of South Burlington have yet to reach the end of the tunnel in the dispute over the TV station’s fly ing of the Stars and Stripes 24 hours a day. According to General Manager Peter Martin, the sta tion his pop, Red Martin, found ed has flown the national colors from the same flagpole since the mid-1960s. When darkness fell, lights went on to illuminate Old ‘ Glory. Last year, said Martin, the station received a notice from the city planning office pointing out Ch. 3 was in violation of a city ordinance prohibiting illuminated flags. Juli Beth Hoover, South Burlap’s director of planning and zoning, told Seven Days Monday the purpose of the ban was to prevent giant illuminated American flags “to turn into de facto advertising” for gas stations or other enterprises. But Ch. 3’s flag certainly was not lit up to attract business to its Joy Drive location. And Mr. Martin, said Hoover, “brought to our attention the U.S. Flag Code.” According to that code, she said, flying Old Glory at night is discouraged, but, if flown, the Stars and Stripes should be illu minated. “He [Martin] has a reasonable point,” said Ms. Hoover. South Burlington, she said, is working on revising its ordinance to allow for the flying of “govern mental” flags. Hoover said the city is even utilizing the services of a lighting designer. According to both Hoover and Martin, however, nobody can predict when the revised flag law will be ready. Meanwhile, said Mr. Martin, WCAX continues to lower its American flag at sundown every day, as required by law. Civil dis obedience, Peter told Seven Days, is not in the cards. South Burlington will remain a city where the American flag is verboten after sundown. Strange little law, eh? Larry’s Angels? — Over at our local ABC affiliate, WVNY-TV, two brand-new reporters hit the bricks this week to plug the holes in Station Manager Larry Delia’s newsroom. Mr. Delia’s apparently matched Ch. 3 ’s star reporter Kristin Kelly with two “Kelly Girls” of his own. Joining the weakest link in local TV news (according to the Nielsen ratings) are Kelly Reardon and Ana Kelly! Ms. Reardon, a Niantic, Connecticut, native, holds a his tory degree from Princeton, a master’s from the London School ; of Economics and a second mas ter’s from Columbia University’s School of Journalism. Not exactly weakest-link material, eh? Ms. Kelly’s no slouch, either. Ana’s from Seattle. After high school, she told Seven Days, she bypassed college for six years of “real-world” experience including work on the radio. Then she returned to academia and picked up her degree from Washington State’s Edward R. Murrow School of Communications. Welcome aboard! ®

That’s because the producer of the discs is the Mockingbird Found ation, a volunteer-run nonprofit founded by Phish fans four years ago to benefit music education pro grams for children. As all Phishheads know, guitarist Trey Anastasio composed for and per formed with the VYO last winter. Thus it’s only fair that the orchestra gets to close Disc One with Anastasio’s Guyute.

Those of you

terrestrials who get the Sci-Fi Channel, check out a “Planet of the Apes” special this Friday at 7 for the video appearance of James Kochalka Superstar’s “Monkey vs. Robot.” The money earned from that show, he says, will fund a new video of “Don’t Trust Whitey,” the title track of his new CD (reviewed below). Never content with just one project, Burlington’s superstar musi cian/ cartoonist also has a new comic book, Peanutbutter & Jeremy: The Flibbledibble File. The G-rated 28-pager, shades of yellow-orangebrown on the cover and brownand-white panels on the inside, fea tures a new encounter with the kitty and the crow. Wholesome enough for the early-reader set, PB & J is a feel-good mini-adventure with a happy ending. Is Kochalka getting cuddly or what? The Supe is spending time on the road this summer promoting both new projects, starting this past weekend at the Comic-Con International in San Diego. This week, he hits CBGB’s and the Parkside Lounge in NYC, and next

those finalists will compete with each other September 13. First,;; prize: 10 hours of recording time at Mad-tech Sound in Berlin, two gigs — paid! — at the Turtle, and air time on The Point. Second and third prizes are gift certificates to Play It Again Sam and the Mist Grill. Interested? Call 244-5223, or bring your tunes and $15 to regis ter to the next open mike August 2. Those St. Albans rockers 8 0 8 4 are still going strong, working on studio demos that should result in a fall-winter release, tentatively titled Souls. Meanwhile, the Web site (8084.com) continues to get a couple thousand hits a week from all over the world. Rock on . . . Chin Ho! lives! After a show last weekend at the Moose Jam in Addison County, singer Andrew Smith and longtime collaborator, guitarist Dave Morency, are back in the saddle writing new songs together. Meanwhile, the peripatetic Smith, who’s also doing a solo acoustic thing, is teaming up with some buds for a new, as-yetunnamed project that is scheduled to debut at “Miltonstock” August 18. Stay tuned for more on that event . . . Jim Branca is getting a lot of mileage out of his fitness pro gram — 400 of them.

YES, / WANTTOGO

(self-released, CD) — Vermonter Chris Kleeman and Ohio native Malkum Gibson have been play ing the blues — on guitars and harmonicas, respectively — apart and together for a wicked long time. Their first, and long-lost, recording together, which was called Just the Blues, was pro duced by B.B. King and released in 1971. Unlike their heroes Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, who actively loathed each other onstage or off for a sizable chunk of their careers together, Kleeman and Gibson are back making music as a team after more than 20 years. They are not only still on speaking terms, but actually sound happy to be playing with each other on their new recording, Yes, I Want to Go. The pleasure is all ours, too. The two sound comfortable with each other and with their mater ial. The 13 tracks on this disc reflect both musi cians’ deep reverence for traditional acoustic blues, ranging from some impressively authentic-sound ing originals to a bouncy version of Leadbelly’s “Midnight Special.” There are also Sonny & Brownie, Elmore James and James Reed classics,

and a particularly smokin’ version of Mississippi Fred McDowell’s “Write Me a Few of Your Lines.” Throughout the disc we are treated to Kleeman’s artistry as a slide man on National Steel guitar, and as fingerpicker of the Blind Blake/Big Bill Broonzy school on flattop. Gibson’s clean and right-on harp playing' wails and darts on every cut, and both men sing, whoop and occasionally cackle with glee. These two are lots of fun on stage, too. Gibson is coming over from Ohio (he also tours with the dance company “Rhythm in Shoes”) to tour locally with Kleeman, who lives in Chester, during the month of August. Following a gig at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe next Wednesday, they’ll be one of the fine features at the annual Champlain Valley Folk Festival August 4-5. — Robert Resnik

JA M ES KOCHALKA S U P E R S T A R ,

TRUSTWHITEY

DON’T

(Tarquin Records, CD) — On his latest full-length album, Don’t Trust Whitey, Burlington’s favorite multimedia superstar gets down to the serious business of pop. This time around James Kochalka takes some of the tongue out of his cheek and delivers charming songs full of heart. He shows himself more than a novelty act, packing this 23-track CD with hits and leaving the potty mouth behind. I especially enjoy “Copenhagen China Box” and “Corn on the Cob,” though there’s plenty here for a JKS fan to fall in love with. Long-time crowd favorites “Talk to the Wookie,” the title track and “Even the Clouds Get High” fit quite comfortably among cute numbers like “Amthsterdam” and “Turn Down the Stereo.” The production here also ranks among Kochalka’s best, as various studio wizards have crafted songs that just sound crisp

and clean. The chorus of “Frog on Top of a Skyscraper” sounds like an early ’80s Duran Duran hit, while “Sleighride to Heck” makes good use of the vocorder, giving that familiar warble popularized by Cher a Kochalkian turn. As always, this JKS record comes with a mini comic, and the liner notes here are priceless. This is easily his best record to date, with a number of great songs and clean language to boot. I don’t think fans will ever get over “Monkey vs. Robot,” which still stands as one of Kochalka’s greatest hits, but this album rocks a lot. Plus, the use of part of Billy Joel’s “Allentown” at the end of “Sleighride to Heck” is pretty awesome. The final track, “Vermonter,” is a dash of state pride, making one realize yet again how lucky we are to live in such a cool place, and to have a pro lific Superstar in our midst. I’ve always been a big fan of Kochalka’s, so this might seem a little biased, but how objective can you be about a record that makes you smile from ear to ear, sing along and call your friends to come over just so you can play it for them? — Colin Clary

Steven Spielberg really has two movies in theaters this summer and, ironically, the better, more fully realized and more entertaining by far turns out to be the one he didn’t direct. Sure, A.I. is loftier and more artsy. It achieves less of what it meant to do, though, I think. On the other hand, the third Jurassic Park may be more.humble in its ambitions, but, by God, it keeps its promises. It performs. Spielberg cracked the whole big, dumb digital thing wide open eight years ago with the first Jurassic Park. He changed the movies forever. At the same time, the virtues of that film and its follow-up were largely technical. The dialogue was clogged with sci entific mumbo-jumbo, the characters blathered on interminably about the perils of playing God and, when you finally did catch a glimpse of the dinosaurs, they appeared only about midway through the process of evolving from the Saturday morning cartoon. Another problem, of course, was that Spielberg had become so dazzled and distracted by the possibili ties of modern computer animation, he forgot that what he’d been hired to create wasn’t an experience simulator or a theme park thrill ride, but simply a monster movie. Joe Johnston didn’t make that mistake. With Spielberg on the sidelines as executive producer, the director of October Sky was free to go hog wild with the latest generation of computer-imaging technology and make an old-fashioned creature feature with a 21st-century grin on its face. Based on a script by the talented team behind Election, Johnston’s Jurassic Park is a delirious, madcap bit of summer movie mayhem and has more hair-rais ing voltage coursing through it than its two predeces sors combined. Also, in the tradition of monster movies, it is unapologetically stupid. I mean, really, the very idea of Sam Neill’s character — who barely escaped with his accent in the first film — agreeing to serve as tour

Earth. (PG-13)

Jurassic Park.

guide for a thrill-seeking couple who want to cruise at low altitude in a small plane over an island off the coast of Costa Rica that’s crawling with vicious, pre historic beasts is out-dumbed only by what happens just before that. Namely, that some guy’s idea of a Kodak moment is to grab a video camera and take a young paleontology-loving boy parasailing along the coast of that very same island. The whole premise for the picture is so out-of-control dopey, a better title might’ve been Jurassic Park IIP. Yeah, Right. The kid winds up crash-landing on the island. The plane winds up crash-landing on the island. OK, we had to wind up on the island somehow, and maybe there just wasn’t a sensible way to get everyone there. Although, personally, I wouldn’t have raised an eye brow at the idea of a scientific/military operation, the purpose of which was to wipe out dinosaur life on the island — at least all of it with the potential to pose a threat to humankind. At any rate, Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni and company may get there for all the wrong reasons, but, once they do, all the right things happen. At a lean, mean 90 minutes, this Jurassic Park is the cine matic equivalent of a raptor, where each of Spielberg’s installments lumbered like a brontosaurus. Expend able personnel instantly become between-meal snacks, giant lizards make the ground tremble beneath SUV sized feet, and then even bigger lizards show up and eat the first ones. The encounters between man and beast aren’t just close, they’re white-knuckle intense. And the CGIs haven’t so much taken a step forward as a quantum leap. Sure, it’s all in the service of goosebump goofiness, but then, when you get right down to it, so were King Kong, Godzilla and every other monster movie ever made, including Jaws. Johnston’s latest handily passes the test of the popping eye and quickened pulse. It may even be good enough to stand the test of time as well. ®

In the 1985 movie, Sweet Dreams, Jessica Lange portrayed Patsy Cline, playing out the Virginia-born country singer’s career and untimely death in a 1963 plane crash at age 30. The play, Always. . . Patsy Cline, takes a slightly different tack, cap turing the story of how Cline befriended a Texas housewife named Louise Seeger. After their chance meeting at a Houston concert, the two women remained pen pals during the last two years of Cline’s life. The St. Michael’s Playhouse production, which winds up the summer season, boasts a number of Southerners with special affini ty for the show: Director Alex Chrestopoulos hails from Texas. The role of Patsy is played by Kristi Brannon, a Georgia resident. Even the costume designer, Allison Steadman, can lay claim to Nashville roots. Damn Yankee audiences can appreciate some of the exquisite vintage ballads featured in the show: “Walkin’ After Midnight” and the title tune, “Always,” are among the classic Cline hits delivered with searing intensity. She remains a legend whose music has had a lasting influence on a genre now often more glitzy than genuinely felt. Shania Twain might be sexier, but Patsy knew the difference between showing her belly button and baring her soul.

Always... PatsyCline:Tuesday through Saturday, July 31 August 11. McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, 8 p.m. Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. $18-22. Info, 654-2281.

The Boston-based company she founded in 1995, hoi polloi, has eight energetic members who can hold their own — and others — on stage as well as the play ing field. “Without being in any way literal, Sara tells stories in her dances of lives as they are being experi enced by the next generation,” says critic Suzanne Carbonneau. “Her choreography is smart, sassy, madcap, poignant.” Fresh horn a gig at Jacobs Pillow, the compa ny cooks up “dances made from scratch.”

g re e k out

the strait story

Anthony Quinn may be gone, but Zorba’s spirit lives on at the annual Taverna Night and Greek Festival in Burlington. In ancient days, this was the time of year to honor Apollo, the god of poetry and music. Accordingly, there will be lots of food: look for bastichio, a lasagna-like dish not to be confused with the macaroni-like pastitsio, as well as stuffed grape leaves and spanokopita. You can work off your baklava dancing the syrtaki and hasapiko. Zorba would drink — ouzi — to that.

Navigating the Darwin Straits might sound like a scientific tome on evolution, but author Edith Forbes has crafted a tale about a young man in search of himself. Jordy-McNeil’s a computer nerd, his fami ly’s constantly moving and his mother realizes she’s a lesbian. The narrative, which moves east to west and back again, fol lows his various misadventures in the Silicon Valley, Mexico, Seattle and northern Maine. The Vermont author stays put for a reading and signing within driving distance.

ruffing it

g a g a for g ro c e r ie s

If pooches are your passion, the North Country Animal League’s annual Mutt Strut might just be the perfect mondo cane. As a benefit for the organization’s “no kill” shelter in Morrisville, the gathering offers a plethora of pup-oriented activ ities: Armed with tax-deductible pledges from sponsors, participants can walk their own Fido or a “well-behaved” adoptable pet. .There are also agility and police-dog demonstrations, a scavenger hunt and vari ous canine contests. Hey, aren’t these “the dog days of summer?”

The Onion River Co-op’s Downtown Market is still not open for business, but it’s throwing a party anyway. You can get a taste of what’s to come — literally — from soon-to-be vendors like Leonardo’s Gelato in Waitsfield. And there’s entertainment, too, cour tesy of Yolanda, The Eames Brothers Trio, Sheefra and Matthew Brand. Don’t be surprised if you get hit up for money, though — the co-op still needs to raise $300,000 to stock the shelves.

Mutt Strut dog walk and festival: Saturday, July 28. Jackson Arena, Stowe, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Donations. Info, 888-4303.

The

million verses, many of them proof of how creative you can get on a couple quarts of Dos Equis at 3 o’clock in the morning. Here are the two most commonly quoted:

Straight

Dope

Dear Cecil, What are the words to the song “La Cucaracha”? Every person I asked at school didn’t know beyond the title. Even my parents did not know. I am using my parents’ e-mail to ask you. — Liz Happy to oblige, kiddo, but some people aren’t going to be pleased. “La Cucaracha,” one of Mexico’s best-known folk songs, doesn’t put the ideal spin on life south of the border. The U.S. may have amber waves of grain; the UK has jolly jolly sixpence; Mexico has... cockroaches. The Mexican Tourism Board can only hope monolingual Yankees don’t realize what the title means. As possible evi dence on this score I note that in Minneapolis, the Kyoto of Midwestern cul ture, La Cucaracha is the name of a restaurant. Somebody really ought to clue these people in. But you wanted the lyrics. One complication is that there are about five

La cucaracha, la cucaracha Ya no puede caminar Porque no tiene, porque le falta Marijuana que fumar. (The cockroach, the cockroach Now he cant go traveling! Because he doesn’t have, because he lacks Marijuana to smoke.) You can see how closer acquaintance with the lyrics does not improve the PR situation. Sometimes the last line is replaced with a bowdlerization such as limonada que tomar (lemonade to drink), but if you’re old enough to be messing with dad’s e-mail program, you’re old enough to know the truth. To continue: Ya la murio la cucaracha Ya la lleven a enterrar Entre cuatro zopilotes Y un raton de sac ristan. (The cockroach just died, And they carried him o ff to bury him Among four buzzards And the sexton’s mouse.)

Mexicans are strange. But there’s more going on here than meets the eye. “La Cucaracha” is the Spanish equivalent of “Yankee Doodle” — a traditional satirical tune periodically fitted out with new lyrics to meet the needs of the moment. The origins of the song are obscure, but appar ently it’s pretty old. Some verses I came across refer to the Moorish wars in Spain, which concluded with the conquest of the Moorish kingdom of Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. (Obviously 1492 was a big year for Ferdinand and Isabella on a number of fronts.) Probably the song itself doesn’t go back that far, but in an 1818 book, according to one source, the Mexican writer Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi claimed the song was brought to Mexico from Spain by a captain of marines. One can find “La Cucaracha” lyrics commemorating 19th-century conflicts in both Spain and Mexico, but verse production didn’t really get rocking until the Mexican rev olution of 1910-1920. So many stanzas were added by par tisans on all sides during this period that today, despite its Spanish origin, the song is associated mostly with Mexico. Included among the new lyrics were the verses quoted above. Some say the jape about marijuana was directed at the dictatorial Mexican president Victoriano Huerta (ruled 1913-1914), ridiculed by his many enemies as a drunk and a dope fiend who lived only for his daily weed. No doubt the four buzzards and the sexton’s mouse were lampoons as well. Some claim la cucaracha refers solely to Pancho Villa, the bandido/revolutionary general who eluded U.S. troops following a 1916 attack on an American border town, only to be assassinated in 1923. Others say the word refers sole ly to Villa’s car or to the soldaderas, female soldiers/camp followers who provided cooking and other comforts to the various armies. These claims are undoubtedly false — the identity of the cockroach varied with the verse — but still, one shudders. If no one knows the verses to “La Cucaracha,” it’s probably just as well. — CECIL ADAMS

July 26 - Auj W

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The Vagina Monologues is a book and show based on interviews with women all over the world. “There’s so much darkness and secrecy surround ing the vagina,” says author Eve Ensler “ — like the Bermuda Triangle.” Sex-positive feminists have noted wryly that while Ensler’s work is a welcome breakthrough, the final frontier won’t come until a bevy of female celebrities gather at Madison Square Garden (as they did to cele brate TVM) and shout hosannas to the clitoris. For there is an even deep er conspiracy to conceal its glory, maybe because it is the only organ in the human body with no other pur pose than to experience pleasure. As you slip into the most orgasmic phase of your astrological cycle, Aries, I urge you to enshrine the clitoris as the sacred symbol of your highest aspirations. (Yes, you too, guys.)

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): In one of its rock videos, the band Blink-182 has a crane drop several brand-new luxury cars from a great height, turning them into mangled hunks of junk. I admire this quality in wealthy celebrities: the free-spirit ed, open-hearted joy at destroying expensive consumer goods. And what’s this got to do with you, Taurus? Well, I’m hoping it’ll inspire you to withdraw some of your attach ment to your possessions. Your props and accessories have begun to define your sense of self a little too much. Please liberate yourself from their hypnotic hold on your imagination so you can explore subtler aspects of your identity in the coming weeks.

G E M IN I (May 21-June 20): I wish I could make it easy for you and say that the forces of light are lining up to fight the forces of darkness. But it just isn’t that simple. It’s more like the forces of paisley are staggering into place to start a food fight with the forces of plaid. There are beauty and ugliness on each side. And so you

m m

may ask, Gemini, what’s the most righteous role you can play in this seriously surreal showdown? Should you throw your weight to one side or the other? Naw. Here’s my suggestion: Create a third side.

C A N C E R (June 21-July 22): Some of my most sensitive readers — a disproportionately large number of whom are Cancerians — have figured out how to contact me clairvoyantly. In the early morning hours, they slip into my dreams to give me updates on a wide range of ethereal subjects. Last night, for instance, I got a full report on the progress of the angelic hosts who are busting their divine butts to prevent us humans from destroying the ecosphere. I appreciate these efforts to keep me informed on such esoteric matters. But I urge you Crabs to de-emphasize explorations like that in the coming weeks so you can track earthier developments. The magic word “pragmatism” will be more far potent than “abracadabra.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let us now observe a moment of silence in reverent remembrance of your recent ly deceased illusions. They were soul ful hallucinations, weren’t they: full of entertaining flaws like creative amne sia and misplaced idealism and unripe understandings about human nature. And now, in death, they begin to serve you with fresh purpose, turning into fertile compost for the sweet dreams you’ll hatch next. May they rot in peace. V IR G O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even though my Virgo girlfriend and I have broken up, you need not fear that I’ll feel any less sympathy for you. It has always been my mission to refute the pinched, weasely traits that traditional astrologers attribute to your sign, and no transitory personal

uproar can divert me. At this particu lar phase of your evolution, however, I must let you know that you’re sus ceptible to behavior that conventional wisdom warns against, especially shortsightedness and manipulative ness. You may also be tempted to skip through a series of profound experi ences without integrating them fully. Please don’t. In both the metaphorical and literal sense, good digestion is the key to remaining true to your soul’s purpose.

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his book The Art o f Pilgrimage, Phil Cousineau describes an experience he’s always in search of as he travels: “a glimpse of the underglimmer, an experience of the deeply real that lurks everywhere beneath centuries of stereotypes and false images that pre vent us from truly seeing other people and other places.” Given the pene trating insight you’ll have at your dis posal this week, Libra, I suggest you make Cousineau’s quest your own, even if you wander no farther than your usual haunts. For him, the trea sured peek happened once as he drank mint tea under date trees with a group of Bedouins in the Egyptian desert. For you, it may bolt into your awareness as you sit in a cafe sipping cappuccino and gazing upon a woman doing a crossword puzzle at the next table.

S C O R P IO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Members of the rock band Papa Roach say they do their best work in the recording studio when they’re in really bad moods. Steeped in irrita tion and angst and anger, they can transform their demons into creative helpers who deliver interesting goods in the form of high-energy songs. I recommend this approach for you in the coming days, Scorpio. You can’t appease your shadowy inner nemeses

by trying to suppress them. But if you put them to work in a construc tive cause, they’ll mellow out even as they serve your dreams.

S A G IT T A R IU S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m fond of making extreme statements when you get into extreme moods. So put this in your fortune cookie and chew, it: “The truths that are most important to you now are exactly those that are least appreciated and understood by your inner circle.” I also love to get mysti cally tricky when you start turning inside-out, Sagittarius. So here’s a rid dle for you to solve on your way over to the place where “maybe” turns into “yes” and doubt mutates into deter mination: “What local power spot harbors the exotic stimuli that you’ve always assumed were far away?” C A P R IC O R N (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Give thanks you’re not a rural Alabama teenager deprived of sex education. If you were, you’d be pregnant or make someone pregnant by mid-August. Why? Because your tribe is both horny and extra fertile right now. It’s also lucky, Capricorn, that as the kind of cultured and savvy person who reads this column, you know how to comport yourself like a safe sex machine. That skill will help you take maximum advantage of the rich pluckings headed your way. I should add, though, that if there is anything you still don’t know about what turns you on and how to take responsibility for it, it’s a perfect time to find out. Make love, not babies. Create artistic masterpieces, not melodramatic complications. A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I love people’s flaws,” says Crystal Schultz, a reader of this col umn. “The man I love more than any other is one of the ugliest people I’ve

er met. His skin is scarred, he as bad teeth and beady eyes |uid a large nose, but he has the hugest heart and a wickedly childish smile that you can’t take your eyes off. He is the smartest, most.electrical person I’ve ever met, and I think he’s gorgeous.” I’ve quot ed at length from Crystal’s testimony, Aquarius, because it’s the precise spir it I’d like you to bring to your own quest for transformative beauty in the coming days. By the way, this isn’t just another version of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Study Crystal’s words and you’ll notice that she’s attracted to the outside as well as the inside of the man she loves.

P IS C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Do you cringe when you encounter the number 13? Do you compulsively check your horoscope in three differ ent newspapers and 10 Web sites? Do you feel that if you talk about scary subjects you make them more likely to happen? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the days ahead might confuse you. Why? Because it’ll be one of the least superstitious weeks on record. There’ll be no such thing as good luck or bad luck. Blind fate and pure chance will count for almost nothing. Clarity of purpose and rational analysis will carry unbe lievable clout. If you think free will is an illusion, you’ll soon find out dif ferently. You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night for your
