Freyne Showing Ignorance I am writing this letter in response to Peter Freyne's column of June 18 [Inside Track], where he mentions the name of a woman being abused by her husband. Somehow Mr. Freyne thinks it's okay to embarrass, or take light of the situation, because the woman was also a police officer. How he believes he has the right to make light of such a situation in our society because of someone's profession is insulting. Abuse is a serious problem, and comments like Mr. Freyne's are just the sort of reason that women continue to feel embarrassed to come forward. Mr. Freyne has a right to print what he wants under the First Amendment; however, he seems willing to use this right to show his ignorance by promoting ugly stereotypes. — Christopher Haley Burlington Dean Inconsistent on Energy Policy I was flattered to see that the head of the Department of Public Service not only read but responded [Weekly Mail, June 30] to my letter of 6/16, which

commented on the Dean administration's flawed energy policy. In his letter, Richard P. Sedano claims that the administration is serious about promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. If this were true beyond the superficial lip service I've seen, Dean would have rejected the environmentally and socially destructive (and costly) contract with HydoQuebec. This imprudent decision has resulted in a glut of expensive electricity — expensive for ratepayers. Rejection of this foolish contract would have forced the utilities to pursue real conservation and efficiency and would now be saving ratepayers a lot of money. Sedano also states that the administrator has not supported the addition of gas-powered electricity to the present glut of power. He states that the Rutland Herald printed a retraction of their story on June 5. However, I have a Rutland Herald story dated June 6 that states, "The state Department of Public Service is supporting a plan to build natural gas-fired power plants in Bennington and Rutland."

Sedano is correct when he states that Vermont has done some good work in energy efficiency and renewables. However, if the Dean administration were serious about these goals, they would have promoted them 10 years ago as a cost-effective alternative to the imprudent contract with Hydro-Quebec. Dean took a highly publicized and "moral" stand against gambling in Vermont. However, when the rights of Quebec's native people and their wilderness ecosystem were threatened by HydroQuebec, Dean decided that Vermont should spend billions of dollars supporting HydroQuebec's schemes. With the (false) promise of "cheap" electricity his "moral" position quickly evaporated.

public glare must be blamed in both deaths. I am as guilty as anyone in enjoying a glimpse of the private lives of celebrities caught on T V or fixed in print media and sometimes reading about them. However, I don't think I'm entitled to access their private lives. Nor do I think laws would help in allowing them more privacy. The media could restrain itself to be present only in their public lives, and to invade privacy only by invitation. In our competitive world where money is the bottom line, that's unlikely, of course. In a cooperative society, which I hope we may evolve to, that might be possible. At least when FDR was president the media had the grace not to play up his polio-crippled legs.

nEWs QuiRkS Off to See Dr. Dolittle After a farmer in I Chaguanas, Trinidad, complained one night that someone had stolen his livestock, police spotted a rental car driving with its lights off and gave chase. The driver abandoned the vehicle, but police found a sheep wearing a dress and a goat wearing a shirt, pants and a hat in the back seat. Two more goats, wearing shirts and pants, were in the trunk. Police speculated that the thief had dressed the stolen animals to avoid attracting attention.

Mister Lucky After Bill Morgans heart stopped for 14 minutes, the Australian truck driver went into a coma and was declared clinically dead. Despite suggestions that his life support be switched off, 14 days later he awoke from the coma and fully recovered. He got his old job back, and the girl of his dreams married him. To top things off, he won a car in a lottery. Such a strong human-interest story naturally attracted an Australian

No Relief Dr. Islam Cani, head of the Albanian Consumers' Association, said that a common problem facing Kosovo refugees is poisoning from food distributed as humanitarian aid, declaring that the government was "only interested in the quantity of food produced and not its quality." In one incident, cited by Kosovo Albanian Radio 21 on its Web site, some 200 Kosovo refugees at one Albanian camp were hospitalized after eating imported Ukrainian salami that was 11 years past its expiration date.

Hoot, Mon Dan McCaig, 25, protested a mass layoff at a Toronto plant run by Bombardier Aerospace by suspending himself from the ceiling and playing "Amazing Grace" and "Auld Lang Syne" on the bagpipes for four solid hours. The Globe and Mail newspaper reported that McCaig was removed only after the company sent its workers home (with pay), and police used a cherry picker to reach him. "He played for a good

hour or two while we were waiting for him to come down," police Detective Don Wilson said. "He even took requests." McCaig avoided jail and a criminal record by promising never to play bagpipes again anywhere near the plant.

Sex in High Places The Rev. Stephen Pedley, the Church of England's bishop of Lancaster, recommended that his fellow clergy read men's magazines featuring salacious content and semi-pornographic photo spreads. Pedley explained reading the magazines will enable the church to understand contemporary culture better and help its mission to spread the Gospel. • Gerald "Ajax" Ackerman, the mayor of Port Huron, Michigan, was charged with 14 counts of criminal sexual contact with two 11-year-old girls and a 9-year-old girl while working at a children's recreation center. Ackerman, whom the National Association of Social Workers named its 1994 public citizen of the year for his community work, was also charged with two counts of producing child pornography and one count of indecent exposure involving a 14-year-old girl.

SHOW DOWN: The battle of the brochures used to be waged in late August. Now the big performing arts guns are out by the end of July, exploding their annual entertainment ammo in four-color flourish before you can say "back to school." Why the rush to deliver the first punch? Competition for entertainment dollars is fierce. That's why the first de facto show on the Flynn Theatre season is a "sneak preview" — read "sales pitch" — complete with video clips, commentary and free food this Wednesday. Subscription series may be a thing of the past, but buying tickets in advance still makes sense. You pay less and get better seats while you supply the theater with crucial operating capital. Works like a charm — unless it snows. The George Bishop Lane Series unveiled its "season" several weeks ago, with a lineup that confirms its commitment to classical music and theater. Its Shakespeare fixation — look for touring productions of Macbeth and King Lear— predates the current craze generated by Gwyneth PaltrOW, who just happens to be an alum of Brown Ledge Camp in Colchester. A record number of operas — The Magic Flute, Turnadot and The Barber of Seville — are Burlington-bound. At 50 bucks a pop for center orchestra, it's definitely a local economic indicator, but downright affordable compared to what you would pay at the Met. Ditto the Danish-based Carl Nielsen Philharmonic, which is the first touring symphony to pass through here in years. Along with Moscow City Ballet's Cinderella and the Irish band Altan, the Nielsen is one of three blockbuster collaborations between the Lane and the Flynn. Don't miss the quieter concerts, though, featuring Shaker singers from Maine, saggbut-wielding wassailers, all-female Baroque ensembles and the rare flamenco guitarist. Lane Series programmer Jane Ambrose has an ear for acts that are both accomplished and offbeat. The really big names this year are at the Flynn Theatre, with sure-sells like comedienne Lily Tomlin, jazz vocalist Diane Krall and Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil — and return engagements of Sweet Honey in the Rock, Tap Dogs and the Paul Taylor Dance Company. Although he threatened to cut the quantity of programs this year, programming director A m i e Malina apparently gave in to "all these artists knocking at your door all the time." The nine-month lineup of 34 events may have more mainstream appeal than in years past — consider Camelot, Cinderella and 1776— but promises an equal number of artful adventures. The "new works" series includes City Water Tunnel #3, a multi-media performance about the largest public works project in history, and Forgiveness, from the Chinese theater artist behind the 20-hour Peony Pavilion currently playing to rave reviews in the Lincoln Center Festival. Choreographer Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker will return — sans chairs — with a new piece set to "Drumming," by part-time Vermonter Steve Reich. Putney-based puppet artist Eric BaSS will also make an appearance with the world premiere of The Pig Act, which expands on the metaphor of life as a circus. "It ain't Charlottes Web" Malina confirms. Kids may be more comfortable with The Red Balloon or Bridge to Teribithia, the stage version of Katherine PaterSOn's Newbery Award-winning novel. "We are excited about a lot of different things," says Malina, making sure to mention the Cuban band Los Van Van, ldezmer king Andy Statman and the Brazilian guitar-playing Assad Brothers. They play Piazzola and Scarlatti . . . BETWEEN THE LINES: The Adventurous Traveler Bookstore has long been an explorer in commercial cyberspace, but as of September, it will sever its Earth link by closing its retail store on South Champlain Street in Burlington. The "dot com" snuck in there "in the last month or so," spokesman Pete Warner says of the decision to close the two-year-old purveyor of out-of-the-way maps, guide books and countless accounts of the Mt. Everest disaster. "It just wasn't growing anymore, so it is better to put our efforts someplace else," he adds, noting the bulk of the bookstore business has always been online. Starting as a two-person mail-order company, Adventurous Traveler has grown to a $3 million Internet company — with 22 employees — in five years. The company is currently looking for venture capital so it can "expand." Can you say "I.P.O?" • • • "The Hermit as Activist" is the headline of David Budbill's essay in the current issue of the Utne Reader. Addressing the overarching question, "Changing the World is Hard. Why Bother?" the Vermont poet, playwright and musician justifies his own decision to give up overt activism to pursue a contemplative, hermetic life in the Northeast Kingdom. Making frequent reference to the Tao Te Ching, he writes, "My activism was transformed from trying to end all suffering in one weekend to persuading the local fourth-grade teacher to stop making kids sit in their chairs until they've peed in their pants." Although he never actually claims sage status, he paints himself as a reflective recluse. "To see the hermit as activist, or withdrawal as activity, requires a leap of mind and faith that is altogether radical." Especially when our last Budbill sighting was at the Rusty Nail . . . @

t won't be fun and games as usual at Red Square this week. No live entertainment Wednesday or Thursday, and no booze Friday or Saturday. Like / bad boys being sent to their rooms without supper for pulling pranks in Sunday school, co-owners Jack O'Brien and Mark Gauthier are being slapped on the wrist for failing to take seriously repeated fire marshal warnings about safety violations at their popular Burlington watering hole. City officials are quick to note that the punishment isn't personal. Rather, Red Square's sanctions are the latest chapter in the Queen City's recent drive to put more muscle into enforcing alcohol-related offenses. "I think everyone would agree that Red Square has been an asset," says City Councilor Tom Smith, who represents Ward 3. But, adds the Progressive, "I can't have a bar that I like getting away with something that a bar with questionable habits wouldn't get away with." Viewed in a broader context, the Red Square affair points to the city's deeper dilemma as it struggles to nurture a city center that's lively and enticing — but not unruly or unsafe. At the heart of the bar brawl are more basic questions. What role does, and should, booze play in the city's economy? What can, and should, city government do to regulate residents' behavior? And, how much fun is too much? "The city council sees bars in a neo-prohibitionist light," complains Three Needs owner Glenn Walters. "Alcohol and tobacco are the big, evil drugs right now." However, Walters contends, "A lot of city councilors don't honestly know what goes on [in a bar]. It's not as seedy as a lot of them think. Bars are places where people can go and interact and grow." Dennis Wygmans, former co-owner of Club Toast, agrees. "Bar owners are seen as second-class citizens. The people on the licensing committee want to blame bars for the misdeeds of everyone." In fact, Wygmans suggests,

this anti-bar attitude was a major factor in his decision to throw in the towel at Toast. "I could see the writing on the wall and the direction they were going in. They set out a snare and were closing in." City officials see the matter in a different light. "There's the sense that we're the new Christian Women's Temperance Union," Smith comments. "We're not trying to prevent people from drinking. We're trying to get the bars to follow state law. Is it puritanical to expect that people be able to walk home from' a night's entertainment without getting beaten up? To me, it's about creating a livable city." City Councilor Kevin Curley (R-Ward 4) agrees: "The City Council takes the sale of liquor very seriously. They're not selling Beanie Babies there." According to Vermont Liquor Control Investigator Karen Baines, the prevailing mood among Burlington politicians echoes the heightened awareness, statewide, about problems associated with alcohol — particularly the role it has played in several recent teenage driving fatalities. "Suddenly there's a real stand-up-and-takenotice attitude. "But these tragedies have been going on for a long time," Baines points out. Assistant City Attorney Gene Bergman, who prosecutes bar offenses and other local ordinance violations, says the city's tough-love stance represents a natural response to community complaints about quality-of-life issues. "People are sick of being woken up consistently in the middle of the night," Bergman asserts. "People don't like to be around assaultive behavior. People don't like to find out that we have a serious problem with alcohol abuse. There's a sense that those behaviors are increasing." Politicians of all stripes have made a point of staying on the anti-bar bandwagon. Three years ago, License Committee Chair Ellie Blais, a Democrat, floated an unsuccessful proposal to impose a moratorium on all new liquor licenses. A year later, Fred Osier, a Republican who succeeded Blais as committee chair, succeeded in institut-

ing a more objective, three-strikes-and-you're-out approach to license supervision. Bars have also been a high priority for Smith, a Progressive. "I served on the License Committee from '87 to '91," he recalls. "Not one punitive or corrective action was taken in that time." In contrast, Smith boasts that sanctions imposed by the Local Control Sub-Committee — as the License Committee is now called — have led, directly or indirectly, to the closings of Eddie's Pub, The Blarney Stone and Nickanoose, and a two-week license suspension for a street disturbance outside The Last Chance. Burlington's alcohol-control campaign is being waged on several fronts. Since April, says Police Commander Glen Button, officers have divided the city into districts, and been assigned specific beats for continuity. Downtown, this means routinely dropping in on the bars, saying hi to the proprietors, and keeping an eye out for such problems as overcrowding, overservice — selling drinks to people who are already drunk — and underage patrons. The message to the bars, Button says, is, "We want you to be successful, but we want a higher level of accountability." The new policy has been popular with the owners. "We welcome it," says Damon Brink at Rasputin's. "You see the same faces, which is a good thing." The city's law enforcers aren't just being neighborly. They're also enforcing more laws. "Where there's a clearcut, substantial violation," Button promises, "we will take action, rather than give warnings." This harsher approach, as well as more precise reporting procedures, has r e s u l t e d in a sharp increase in the number of reported alcoholrelated incidents downtown. Compared to a year ago, the number of cited intoxicated individuals jumped from 250 to 5 2 6 . During this same period, downtown D W I s soared from 15 to 61. On the other hand, disorderly conduct fighting, yelling and other types of rowdy behavior that tend to result from over-imbibing:— was virtually


unchanged, from 369 events to 379. Real proof of the new policy's effectiveness will have to wait until the current officer assignment system and reporting method have been in use for awhile. Avoiding service to underage clients is a particular challenge in Burlington, where there are so many thirsty 18- to 20-year-old college students, says Baines. Bouncers have to be on their toes to distinguish fake IDs from the real thing — a job recently complicated by a new law making all forms of identification acceptable, including those from every state and foreign jurisdictions. The facility with which high-quality forgeries can now be produced also adds to bars' headaches. But foreign docu-

trouble than supervised service in bars. "The young person who wants alcohol will get it," admits Commander Button. "I'd rather have them drinking in a place that's * controlled than out in the woods someplace or in a car." "The 'Just Say No' approach doesn't work," Smith asserts. "We've all heard about the keg parties where you're trying to get your share before it gets tapped out." For this reason, Smith and others believe that lowering the drinking age would actually reduce alcohol-related problems. Unfortunately, however, that question is not in the hands of the city or the state. It's a federal mandate designed to reduce teenage drinking and driving and tied to transportation dollars. When the law passed, Vermont

"The people on the licensing committee want to blame bars for the misdeeds of everyone" - Dennis Wygmans, former owner of Club Toast ments and advanced technologies aren't the only problems. In state-run sting operations, kids showed up at bars flashing IDs on which the words "I am 18" and "under 21" were clearly printed — and still got served, Baines says. Reports of all infractions, whether they're uncovered by the Liquor Control Department, the police or the fire marshal's office, get funneled into the city attorney's office. After screening for evidence of possible violations, Bergman passes the information on to the Local Control Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee — not Bergman — decides whether to prosecute. Unlike, say, Kenneth Starr, Bergman clarifies, Burlington's prosecutor does not lobby the committee. "I'm not out for blood."

hatever they might think of the prosecutor's motives, many bar owners are edgy about what's next. Some are worried about the city's determination to hold them responsible for brawls, fighting and other public nuisances that spill over onto streets and sidewalks — as state law allows the city to do. Over the last few years, Club Toast and Sh-na-na's were both called in several times on this issue. The trouble is that tracing a street brawl to a particular bar can be difficult, especially when the incident involves several people who have been imbibing at various venues, both public and private. In fact, bar defenders argue that irresponsible drinking goes on more at private house parties than in licensed businesses. One former bar owner who subscribes to this theory is Wygmans. "It doesn't take a genius to go to Church and Main at midnight on a Thursday night and notice that most of the people headed towards the bars are already intoxicated," he says. "They're loading up before heading out." Say you have $20, Wygmans suggests. "You go to a bar, that's three drinks. You go to Pearl Street Beverage and you can get lit up. At house parties there are no bouncers, you can piss wherever you want to, you can mess up the neighbors property." Robert Toms, who owns 135 Pearl, adds that house parties are inevitable in an area with six colleges and a drinking age of 21. "We have a lot of 18- to 21-year-olds who are away from home for the first time and want to party and want to rage. Kids are going to do what they're going to do." Last year, Baines also observed a marked increase in house parties. Ironically, she points out, the trend towards private imbibing was correlated with the city's increased vigilance at bars and the local schools' zero-tolerance attitudes on campus. Like bears who wander into suburban neighborhoods after their natural habitats are developed, kids who can't drink in bars or dorms end up at house parties. And just as bears cause more havoc in backyards than in backwoods, house parties tend to lead to more

tain locations, and state law allows the City Council, acting as the Local Control Commission, to deny individual licenses based on an applicant's police record, or on health and safety issues. Commissioners frequently request additional information, impose conditions around how late bars can stay open and which sorts of live entertainment they can have, and when. They also often require periodic check-ins once businesses have opened. But members have been reluctant to deny liquor licenses altogether — both because of Burlington's small-town nature, and for fear of being sued. All 14 members of the Burlington City Council have been silenced by a lawsuit filed by nightclub owner Shawn Cliche — of Club

"Is it puritanical to expect that people be able to walk home from a night's entertainment without getting beaten up?" - Burlington City Councilor Tom Smith was one of just three states — along with South Dakota and Kentucky — objecting. Though the law bars folks who are under 21 from bars, 18- to 20-year-olds can attend — but not drink at — 18-plus clubs like 135 Pearl. Opened 17 years ago to serve the gay community, 135 Pearl now has a substantial straight clientele as well. Toms, who describes his establishment as "one of the best dance clubs in the city as well as a great cabaret space," is proud of his business' success in bringing gay culture into the city's mainstream. He sees the 18-plus rule as essential to what he does, especially for young adults who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered. "If we weren't [18-plus], those kids wouldn't have a home. We're incredibly controlled. That's the difference between us and a street corner or a dorm room. We are very personal to our clientele. We know their names. We know who they are." City Councilor Matthew Gardy (R-Ward 7), who chairs the Local Control Sub-Committee, also sees bars as potential assets to the community. "We shouldn't be so cold to the idea that people like to go out at night and have a good time. It's a socializing event for Vermonters who have been cooped up all winter. We should work with the bars that are positive and play by the rules. You go to Nectar's and you see Richie Tarrant and homeless people in there. That is a great attribute to our society." Others hold that the very survival of downtown Burlington depends on bars. "The city has to recognize that the restaurant and bar business is a huge economy," says Toms. "It pays a lot of rent and it pays a lot of taxes," Wygmans adds. "If there were no bars downtown, you wouldn't see the kind of traffic you see on a Friday night. Restaurants and the Flynn couldn't carry that kind of traffic." What's more, Wygmans continues, without the sale of alcohol, it would be impossible to bring in the live music and other cultural activities City Hall tries so hard to promote. "The structure is such that you can't pay the bills without having the booze," he explains. But Smith argues that the high proportion of bars and restaurants downtown is unhealthy. He'd like to see more family housing, and a return of essential services the area has lost in the last decade: a supermarket, a hardware store and a variety store. "We're an imbalanced city: a college town and a tourist destination," Smith sighs. "I'm not down on restaurants, but if you look at our downtown core, it's all bars and restaurants." Next on tap in the territorial tug of war? Ri Ra wants to expand the Irish pub into Burlington City Hall Park — a battle that might end up in court, or before the voters. A recent ruling from the City Attorney's Office determined that the property belongs to the "people," not the city per se. Smith is frustrated that state law prevents the council from limiting the total number of liquor licenses it dispenses. The city's zoning ordinances rule out bars in cer-

Fantasy fame — who had already begun renovations on his Cherry Street bar when the councilors denied his application for a liquor license. The action made him the only applicant in recent memory to be turned down. Cliche alleges the license was revoked illegally,.. Still, some city councilors want to raise the bar on opening new drinking establishments. Curley would like to require two-thirds approval, rather than a simple majority, for converting a retail space into a cabaret. And Barbara Perry, an Independent representing Ward 6, wishes the city could charge more than the state-determined liquor license fee. "One hundred dollars is not appropriate considering the amount of police protection and after-hours work bars require," she opines. Gardy, however, believes that the market, rather than the government, should determine how many businesses serve booze. "If you cut down on the number of bars," he points out, "you'll have fewer people supervising the same number of drinkers." As the city searches for the most appropriate approach to bars, bars are searching for the most appropriate approach to the city. Given Burlington's new, gettough posture, some establishments have apparently adopted get-tough stances of their own. "Look at Sh-nana's three years ago, and their police reports today," Smith suggests. "They're not perfect, but they have changed, and it wasn't an accident." Last year, when Brink took over Rasputin's, he went out of his way to reach out to the city. "When we first started, we had to jump through numerous hoops because Rasputin's didn't have a very good reputation with the city," he reports. "We met with the mayor, the police and others to turn the reputation around. There's a lot of rules and regulations, but that's just part of the business." Meanwhile, over at Red Square, O'Brien swears that he and Gauthier have "certainly learned a lesson." Before his tangle with the Local Control Commission, O'Brien confesses, "All we thought about city councilors was that we hoped they'd come here to drink and dance. We thought that when they talked about bars, they weren't talking about us." To ensure a similar slip-up isn't repeated, O'Brien and Gauthier have created a new position to oversee safety issues at Red Square and Club Metronome, which the pair plans to reopen next month. "Its sort of like hiring an accountant for your taxes," O'Brien says. But O'Brien isn't giving in without a whine. "This is a very fun, very loose, very fluid business," he explains. "Once you get pestered to death by government, it grinds your soul a bit." For now, a truce has been reached between the spirit of fun and the need for control downtown. It remains to be seen whether this ceasefire can hold through the fall — when the schools reopen and Burlington's hardiest partiers pour back into town. ®

f anyone in Burlington can be called the "face of folk," it would have to be Robert Resnik. And a merry face it is, most of the time. No one enjoys life, or music, quite as-much as this bearded pied piper. The multi-instrumentalist performs on tin whistle, button and piano accordion, guitar, mandolin, wind synth, clarinet and vocals, collectively, in three bands: the Irish traditionalists Highland Weavers, the klezmer quartet Shayna Punim — which translates to "cute face" — and the swing-jazz quartet Tin Pan Valentinos. He also performs solo — including tableside entertaining at weddings and parties — and he'll do just that next weekend at his beloved Champlain Valley Folk Festival, which he helped program. Furthermore, Resnik will be previewing some of the festival's guest artists this Sunday on the Vermont Public Radio show he hosts, "All the Traditions." You can't get much more involved than that.

Oh, but you can. Resnik is also well known, at least to cardholders at the Fletcher Free Library, as a reference librarian extraordinaire. And in addition to his prowess at fact-finding, he's been leading standingroom-only songfests in the children's room for three years — honed by nine prior years entertaining kiddies at the Sara Holbrook Community Center. Last year, Resnik and Fletcher

youth services librarian Carol Scrimgeour released a sing-along CD for children, called Like the Birdies Sing. Though aimed at preschoolers, the disc encourages parents to sing to, and with, their kids. Like his did. Resnik was born into an "observant Jewish" and very musical family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1953. "One branch of

our family, which lives in Providence and Fall River," he says, "all ended up being band leaders and players." His grandmother performed with her other singing sisters. Resnik began playing the clarinet in second grade — wind instruments are "genetically what Resniks play," he says. By the time he got out of high school, he could also

play guitar. His brother Marty, a ultrasonographer who lives in Shelburne, plays mostly recorder — sometimes with Robert — and has performed in the infamous Bootless & Unhorsed Irish band at the Last Chance Saloon for years. Resnik claims his main influ-

ences were Simon & Garfunkel, The Doors and Iggy & The Stooges, but you could easily get him to rhapsodize over The Beatles or Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels. Or any number of other musicians. The teenaged Resnik first fell in with folk listening to The Incredible String Band — Scotsmen who heretically mixed folk and psychedelia in the late '60s. Later on, it was The Chieftains, influential Irish instrumentalists whose traditional pipes caught Resnik's ear. "In 1975, when Chieftains 5 came out, the album made me crazy, I loved it so much," he recalls. The influx of Irish recordings into North America after that album's commercial success further inflamed his passions. When Resnik was a college sophomore — and a deejay at WRUV — he traded an itinerant musician his "lucky flippin' Eisenhower silver dollar" for an E-flat tin whistle. He then got into the habit of walking around town in the middle of night playing that whistle, he confesses — long before Burlington cracked down on noisy students. Now, that's the musical skill he's proudest of. "I think my whistle playing has gotten pretty good," he says, "though I'm not a traditionalist." He's less thrilled, but not too worried, about his voice. "I'm not really a great singer," he concedes. "I'm of the Ethel Merman school: Sing loud and with feeling, and hope for the best." Though he's played piano accordion for years, Resnik more recently became obsessed with its cousin, the button accordion. A fellow librarian got him hooked. "It chisels new brain passages when you play it — different notes on the push and pull," Resnik explains. "I'm emulating this English guy, Andy Cutting, who used to play in Blowzabella" — the group formed in the early '80s made traditional dance music with melody-accompanied drones, including melodeons, hurdygurdies and bagpipes. "The button accordion is very popular in Franco-American music," Resnik explains, "but it's one row of buttons on the right hand. The one I'm learning on has two and a half rows. There's no one local to learn from, so I listen to CDs over and over." Three years ago, Resnik decided to get back into spinning music as well as playing it himself. When he applied for the job as host of "All the Traditions," he faced what he considered stiff competition — Vermont folk fountainheads Mark Sustic and Pete Sutherland. "I thought, 'I'm dead,'" he says. "But neither of them had radio experience. I had lots of it, and have a natural style they liked. They hired me. The Sunday afternoon show was the station's response to a

folk furor that followed when longtime deejay Mark Hauser's show, "Rural Rhythms," was canceled. "After a couple of months of criticisms and adjustments, things settled down," Resnik says of his three-hour show. "I'm not a sacred cow, but I think people know I'm doing the best I can, and I'm open — I'll try anything." Indeed, a recent afternoon confirmed Resnik's seriously eclectic tastes — from the northern French Ad

Resnik Vielle Que Pourra to Finest Kind, a cappella from Ontario, to Swap, a Swedish-English quartet. Resnik says he played "a million years ago" at one of the first Champlain Folk Festivals — in fact this is the 16th annual — but until this year serving on the programming committee, he h a d ' no official involvement." Still, he's been a cheerleader for the event since its inception — initially on his show at WRUV, and now on VPR. Characteristically, Resnik can barely contain his excitement as the festival — and some of his favorite performers — draw near. He'll have occasion to play the folk ambassador considerably further afield this September, when he leads a VPR-sponsored tour to Scotland and Wales. "There'll be a lot of music," Resnik promises, "including a visit to the tin whistle factory in Oswestry, on the English-Welsh border." Following the eight-day tour, he'll meet up with his wife and two sons and "do the dungeons and castles thing." And has he passed on the Resnik musical gene? Indeed. Ten-year-old Max plays piano, though he's "quietly interested in playing guitar," his dad notes; and seven-year-old Benny recently started recorder lessons — "it's that wind thing," Resnik says. Both boys will be going to the festival "because its fun." After he masters the button accordion, Resnik might just pick up another instrument and play through long nights until he gets it. Or maybe he'll think with his feet. "I'd like," he offers, "to be able to tap dance." ®

s Wolfrick Alemaker snaps his sword down on the leg of his armored opponent, Ekkdhardt Oaken Wode sinks to his knees. Snarling back from inside a steel caged helmet, Wode is unwilling to yield. H e holds up his sword and shield defiantly, challenging the burly Alemaker to attack. Even with Mt. Mansfield in the background, you cant help but look at Ekkdhardt and see shades of the limbless Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail "Just a flesh , wound," you half expect him to yell. "I'll bite your kneecaps off." But Wode isn't working off a script; he's too busy interpreting history as a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). T h e Society, as member Heather Kenyon-Haff explains, is a nonprofit educational organization devoted to the study of the Middle Ages. Its members explore every aspect of medieval life — except, presumably, the plague. T h e most conspicuous disciplines are the Arthurian tournaments and group battles, featuring a medieval brand of martial arts. "From this period of history, actually most periods," observes Wode wryly, "what we remember is the violence." T h o u g h they will come and go in peace, a small army of Vermonters are in the midst of preparing for the upcoming Pennsic War. Like a Sturgis Rally and martial-arts convention rolled into one, Pennsic will feature a field battle between a thousand fighters from the Kingdoms of the East and the Midrealm. N o w celebrating its silver anniversary, the event is expected to draw

The Society for Creative Anachronism is not just for "fools" 10,000 participants — including Wode and Kenyon-HafF— to a campground near Cooper's Lake in Pennsylvania. T h e Society got its start in Berkeley, California, in the mid-'60s with a group of sci-fi and fantasy fans looking for a party theme. T h e concept has since flourished, with more than 20,000 dues-paying members worldwide. About 150 members are active in the Green Mountain State, estimates Kenyon-HafF — a third from "the Mountain Freehold" of northern Vermont. Often compared to Civil War re-enactors or Dungeon and Dragons gamesters gone awry, SCA members distinguish themselves by adopting a fictional persona and then researching and reliving the period between antiquity and the Renaissance. T h e attraction, participants say, is a chance to return to a time when honor and chivalry ruled the day " W h a t we're recreating is based on honor and respect," maintains Wode, a welder from Montgomery in his "mundane" life. "It really brings all those history lessons you slept through to life," adds KenyonHaff.

SCA members delight in the fantasy of time travel. At events, they wear 30-pound chain mail, address each other as "my Lord" or "my Lady," imbibe a little mead and run a "fool's parade" for SCA kids. Pennsic instructions include direction for fools, such as, "Please bring some cheap 'largess,' like wrapped candy to toss to the children!" But if participants enjoy the stroll through Camelot, they're positively transported by the heat of battle. "You completely forget that you're a secretary in Montpelier that sits in front of a computer screen," KenyonHafF says. "You are a soldier, you are there."

Psychology and Science Fiction What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of reality? Psychology addresses these questions through scientific inquiry. "Social Science Fiction," as Isaac Asimov has called o n e branch of the sci-fi genre, addresses the same questions speculatively. Often it uses the language and ideas of psychology, just as Hard Science Fiction" uses concepts of physics, biology or astronomy.

With a thousand soldiers to a side — including more than a I f f l i H O i i l i l i f r g T i f few Xena-type warriors — the air becomes supercharged in the moments before a battle. First, the sound of swords beating shields fills the air. Next, the cannons boom, signaling the charge. T h e ground rumbles as the armies rush toward each hurt each other. We can't afford other. Arrows with nerf-like tips to have broken noses and whoosh overhead. Finally, the teeth," she says. "We're all combatants engage in a chorus friends and we all have to work of shouts and the sound of raton Monday, so we all play by tan against rattan.

continued from page 15 the rules," agrees her husband, Ben Kenyon. Generally, players fight hand-to-hand with a variety of wooden weapons striking blows that would dismember or kill an opponent if real steel were used. For protection, participants have their skills — which Kenyon compares to martial arts — and their homemade armor. Clad in hardened leather, sheet metal, recycled sports equipment or even old 50-gallon pickle barrels, warriors resemble Mel Gibson in Mad Max more than in Braveheart. Headgear, which is critical considering face-shots are legal, tend to come from a local pro known as "Master Tearlach the Profane." No matter how well the appellation may fit the Underhill armorer's use of language, it actually refers to "one without religion," Kenyon chuckles. "It's a pretty good investment," he says of the $250 price tag, "since I really like my brains to stay in my head." Despite what appear to be crushing blows during contests, the combination of armor, a code of ethical conduct and a good helmet is surprisingly effective. "It's not playing chess, but certainly we have a better safety rate than a lot of typical mundane sports," Kenyon stresses. "I have friends that used to play rugby and quit because of safety, but still play this." Whether participants go to feast or fight, they all seem to agree that they gain something from living in the past. "It gives me insight into who I am and where I'm going," says Kenyon-Haff. "If I have the courage to stand across from a thousand guys who I know are going to come over and try to club me," she muses, "then I have the courage to deal with almost anything." And, she acknowledges, it's given her both a deeper appreciation of the environment and a warrior's respect for the gods. 'Storms can be kind of scary because you're just surrounded with metal. I wouldn't go out in armor," she says wisely. Though no ones ever been hit, T h o r is a fickle god." While most SCA members can take their passion with a grain of salt, Y1K jokes are sure to make the rounds at Pennsic this year, Kenyon-Haff suggests. But surely there'll also be a wag in the fool's parade doing his Monty Python best. "Bring out your dead," will be the refrain, "bring out your dead."

Dishing the tions. With every small section she eats, the sun rises and then sets.

BY SAMANTHA HUNT

T

he man who discovered Pluto life's work is slowly being unwound. Pluto is losing its good planet name. Demoted to a trans-Neptunian comet, it could become just one in a belt of awkwardly orbiting Plutinos. What will happen to all the nine-planet models of the universe? Will they collect dust in grade-school basements or have their Plutos ripped from them and reintroduced under an eight-planet system? What will happen to those of us who remember those tiny blue spheres? Jane Shores new collection of poetry, Happy Family, questions what happens to those of us who remember the past in details so sharp they poke through to the present — like the narrators Aunt Flossie Q-tipping Uncle Als empty eye socket, "confetti colored" mouse droppings or the mother who finds it easier to fold laundry than touch her child. As in her last volume of poetry, Music Minus One, Shores latest volume recalls a New Jersey childhood as the daughter of Jewish dress sellers. Her poems are never without memory, as the past openly informs her subjects, language, even her poetry's texture. Her narrative style borders on prose and mimics the even, gentle wale of corduroy — that sensible material after which the protagonist's parents found fit to name their dress shop, Corduroy Village. This writing style provides the opportunity for Shore to weave disparate thematic threads throughout the poems. The solar system abuts motherhood, or Chinese take-out. Shore surprises the reader with odd matches — a douche bag hanging in the shower is likened to a glazed Peking duck suspended in a Chinatown window. "Science Fair," one of the opening poems in this collection, remembers a teacher who told the narrator, "One day the sun will burn itself out, but by then you and everybody here will be dead." The poem continues describing the young narrators dreatn of the solar system, where the planets "are reduced to seven in number. Appropriately, it's the same number of family members introduced™'the book. ' ' The narrator is agitated by the dream and repeats the solid names of familiar neighborhood businesses to calm herself: "Phil's Parkside Liquors, Delancey's Candy, Ernie's Upholstery, Wolf's Deli, Nick's One-Hour Martinizing." Her concern flows from the cosmic to the local in a pattern that repeats itself throughout Happy Family. What an appropriate last name Shore has, as many of her poems exist in the littoral zone between the minute and the enormous. For example, in the poem "Mrs. Hitler," the narrator plays a game called Concentration Camp, dividing her slice of Muenster cheese into 30 sec-

P i c a d o r USA, 8 4 p a g e s . $ 2 0 .

Day Two dawned a minute later. My breakfast, lunch, and dinner Melted in my mouth. "Thankyou." "You're welcome." Day Three followed, and so on, as I played my game, Concentration Camp. The child's understanding of something only whispered about at home is a quiet, small gesture large enough to hold horrors she cannot quite understand yet. Shore excels in recalling with vivid language the smells, games and fears that most adults have forgotten. Palpable throughout Happy Family is the cyclical symmetry of grandmother, mother and daughter; night and day; past and present. The book is in two sections; the first draws on memories of childhood, the second examines their resonance on the narrator's present. "Next Day," the first poem of the second section, is actually two poems, one written in 1969 and one in 1989, in which the narrator stages a debate of eternal but somewhat exhausted questions: youth versus middle age, artist versus mother or wife and — as Shore herself adds — paper versus plastic. The locale in the poem — the Grand Union supermarket — gives resolution to the debate: There is no "versus" but a union of sorts, or, as Shore says, a "split between two," a splitting that turns two into one. Jane Shores universe trims all that is not exact. The Happy Family, a Chinese specialty dish the narrator's family enjoys in the title poem, is an example of Shores tidy metaphors, sealed and neat as a fortune cookie. At times the tight alignment of past and present or metaphor and object is too perfect — so solid a reader cannot enter the poem. "The Trap" concerns an unwinding human relationship in a mouse-infested apartment. A mouse is caught in a trap while the lovers fight in bed. The man drowns the mouse, killing it slowly rather than snapping its neck. The poem's final line is "Neither of us able to make the final break." Such an obvious connection smothers more emotion than it creates. Shore is at her best when her symbolism is less heavyhanded, less perfect, as in the poem "Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium." Here, the dusty old museum, the oddball "StarGuide" Tim and the cracked ceiling of the planetarium stand akin to the narrator — worn out and tired by the recent death of her mother — and her family. The symbols in this poem are looser, the narrative less guarded, allowing more space for meaning. The wounds of memory create a depth in a body, and in a body of work. Shore's powerful poem "Shit Soup"

uses the conceit of a recipe passed down from mother to daughter to plumb the past. Each ingredient is named and followed by the refrain, "Shit it in." A footnote explains, "in Yiddish 'shit-arien' means 'to pour in.'" As the list of ingredients accretes, it grows further distant from the pot boiling in a New Jersey kitchen. Shit in "There wasn't time for me to go to the Shop-Rite and buy steaks to broil for your father's and your dinner." Shit in "I'd like to sell the store someday and move to Florida. " Shit in the Recession, the Second World War, the Great Depression. Shit in "There's no rest for the weary. " Shit in her bunions, her itchy skin. Shit in "Rich or poor, it's nice to have money. " Shit in "Marriage isn't made in heaven. " Shit in the Republicans. Shit in her tumor. Shit in where it spread to her liver "like grains of rice," the doctor said. Shit in her daughters at the cemetery crying over the hole when they lowered her in. Shit in one last handful of dirt. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low.

The repetition of "shit" reduces the word to sound — an ironic invocation that acknowledges both the temporary nature of human life and the permanence of its memory passed down from generation to generation — here as a "recipe." With Happy Family, Shore proves that language, planets and our memories of the dead persist despite time's changing understandings and interpretations. ® Jane Shore will read from her new collection on August 4 at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier. The 7 p.m. event is free and open to the public.

TREE HUGGERS? With roots firmly planted in Boston's hardcore scene, enviro-rockers Tree are starting to branch out. Since 1990 the aggressive foursome has nurtured a punkcore hybrid — in full force on their latest release, Our Day Will Come. If this bud's for you, check out the show this Friday at 242 Main. With DysFunkShun, 7th Rail Crew and Torsion.

BEENIE, BABY Since 1985, the Vermont Reggae Fest has hosted some of the genre's biggest names, and this year is no exception — headliners include dancehall legend Beenie Man and roots-harmony vocalists

SQUARE OFF As this weeks cover story by Ruth Horowitz relates, Burlington's Red Square got a slap on the wrist, or some other body part, I dunno, for fire-code violations. Just to reiterate, the hip nightspot will be open but have no live music Wednesday and Thursday, and will be closed to the public Friday and Saturday. Turning a little adversity into a little fairy dust, however, Red Square proprietors Jack O'Brien and Mark Gauthier have decided to feed a summer barbeque-type meal to the homeless on Saturday — if you have an address, don't be thinking you can slip in unnoticed. The Square will be back in business Sunday, and back in tune Monday. ONE M A I N ST. • WINOOSKI • INFO 6 5 4 - 8 8 8 8 DOORS 8 P M • SHOW 9 PM unless noted r

GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE? Speaking of shutting down, Emerald City in Montpelier is doing it voluntarily — for the whole month of August — in order to "reincarnate." Into what? Well, that's what they're going to decide, of course. If you could determine your next lifetime, •

wouldn't you take a month off? Anyway, some lean nights for the still-young nightclub have forced the owners to re-consult the man behind the curtain, and to "regfoup and reorganize," says head club monkey Adam Woogmaster. "We've been thinking about having the whole upstairs be smoke- and alcoholfree." He also speculates there will be more food, and more lounge. "We're talking to a couple people who are interested in maybe partnering with us and getting more community involvement," Woogmaster reveals. Guess we're not in Kansas anymore. Look for a grand reopening around September 1.

WILD WILD WEST Burlington's answer to Cajun country, MangO Jam, heads to a dream gig this weekend. An unnamed fan — a well-heeled one — is flying all six band members out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to play at a private party for 150 or so of her closest friends.

DAYS

SINGLE TRACKS Don't worry, Friends of Singer-Songwriters: Burlington Coffeehouse hasn't gone away — it'll just be closed for a little rest till mid-August . . . I'll be away next week, too, and a guest columnist will fill this space. That's why I'm going to give you a Deadhead's up now of the 4 th Annual Jerry Fest — a jam courtesy of Blues For Breakfast at Higher Ground August 9 . . . Former Club Toast co-owner Dennis Wygmans heads off to Boston for new digs and gigs next month. He'll be gone but not forgotten — look for a slew of Toast Productions concerts at Higher Ground well into the future . . . If you happen to catch the Red Sox vs. Yankees baseball game this Saturday, pay close attention to the woman belting out the national anthem: That would be Vermont's own Tammy Fletcher! Game starts around 1:35, she says . . . Is it virtual success, or just success? Chin Ho! have topped the Digital Reports chart in their first week on the cyber site (www.talkmusic.com/indiescan). Meaning "David Kamm Said" was the most downloaded song online in its initial week of action . . . ®

CURRENT EVENTS It's bad enough, I suppose, that Currently Nameless could never figure out what to call themselves. Worst yet, apparently a lot of folks think they're history. Band manager Leeeza "Not a Typo" Robbins is on a tear to "dispel the misconception that we do not exist." Imagine being thought of in the past tense! She guarantees that anyone who does not enjoy the heck out of CN's gigs at Vermont Pub & Brewery this Friday and next will gladly be given their money back. A most suspicious offer, considering there is no cover. I'd demand a Burly Irish Ale, at least. Still, raves do abound

for the rapidly maturing groovers — just check this month's review on jambands.com. "These guys are playing great!" enthuses Robbins. "Get out and see them. Just do it." Okay, okay. What's in a name, anyway?

ago and liked us," marvels drummer Michael Bradshaw. "You can bet I'll be handing out business cards to everyone there." (Maybe JH resident Harrison Ford will show.) Half the band will fly into Salt Lake City in order to pick up rental equipment — it's apparently the closest musical store with adequate gear — and drive the remaining five or so hours in a van. Meanwhile, the other half will be cooling their heels in the Hole Friday night — probably searching for the perfect electric cowboy bar. After the party Saturday night, which is actually across the border at an Idaho ranch (would that be a "dude" ranch?), Mango will take off Sunday for, oh, say, rafting down a river, then head home. Nice work if you can get it.

LUCIANO, SWEEP OVER MY SOUL (VP Records, CD) — One of the appealing things about Jamaican artist Luciano is the sincere spiritual optimism he conveys — his gift in this life, aside from a commanding, resonant voice, is the ability to turn adversity into a literal song from his heart. Beyond the downtrodden political fare long prevalent in reggae, Luciano offers up Jah gospel — not Jah posturing — with simple, elegant roots production backing him up. Call it consciousness you can dance to. His latest, Sweep Over My Soul, is no exception; the 11 songs in this collection reflect what apparently occupied Luciano's mind while he took a hiatus from recording since his 1997 awardwinning Messenger release. That would be even further spiritual growth, and, I'd have to say, musical maturation. Sweep opens with a lilting meditation, "Can't Stop Jah Works," and the clean-as-awhistle production values of Phillip "Fattis'* Burrell (Xterminator Productions) immediately whisk you in to a sonic good mood all the way to the last note. Legendary drummer Sly Dunbar works his usual percussive magic with laid-back ease. By the time the third track, "Ulterior Motive," comes around, you'll be dancing in place wherever you are, and with the fifth, a dreamy delay-dub masterpiece titled "Final Call," you could be happily horizontal. Not that Sweep is a sleepy recording; it's just way mellow through the first half. "Jonah" will get you back on your feet, though — not to mention singing along with one of the catchiest hooks on the disc. "Jonah" also features a full back-up chorus, brightly produced, and killer rhythms from Dunbar. "You Can" is a more uptempo dance

track with slick girl-back-up vocals. "When Man on Earth" and "Talking 'Bout" slink back into a skankier groove, and horn accents led by sax man Dean Frazer. The liner notes do not indicate who the female vocalist is on "Talking 'Bout," but her r & t f stylings are outstanding. The social message of "Poor Youths" is delivered in a bouncing beat, scratch-like effects and the usual hypnotic delay. With Sweep Over My Soul, Luciano is sure to sweep the reggae charts once again. He returns to Higher Ground this Wednesday, courtesy of Toast Productions. — Pamela Polston JAMES K0CHALKA SUPERSTAR, CARROT BOY THE BEAUTIFUL (Sudden Shame Records, CD) — James Kochalka's latest double-header — a disc and comic book — certainly starts out sounding like what he claims it is: a rock opera. The long da-da-das, dramatic acoustic guitar strummings and whistling from musician/producer Pistol Stamen comprise an indie version of an "overture." The 15 songs that follow, which , won't take up too much of your time, each offer kiddie-style tunelets with stage-setting sounds and feels. Kochalka even departs occasionally from his usual tuneless caterwauling to produce more melodic phrasing, such as that of *** j m the ominous-sounding evil scientist and the Munchkin-esque voice of Carrot Boy himself. I have to say, though, that one of the best sonic effects here is the poured, then dripped, water on the appropriately titled "Drink Water." You'll think you've sprung a leak. The conceit of Carrot Boy is that an evil scientist wants to destroy the world with an army of carrot men — immediately dispelling his claim to be a genius. His plans go awry, however, when the evil DNA-saturated chemicals he dumps in the garden produce not vegetable Huns, but a lone, sweet little Carrot Boy with the disposition of Pee Wee Herman. Come to think of it, he sounds like Pee

s

Wee, too. Hmmm. Anyway, as the tale progresses, Carrot Boy's happy-go-lucky philosophy emerges in the sing-along anthem, "The Argument," and later with the catchy "She Loves Me" and the refrain of "Why Can't We All Be Carrot Boy?" Which, by the way, is the whole lesson here: Why can't we all just play nice and get along? There's also a side plot involving a kitty — "Crumple" tells you how to amuse one; "Kitty in a Coma" is a tragi-comic worry set to music. Kochalka has penned — and drawn — a compelling and original, if totally silly, rock operetta, and Stamen (a.k.a. Paul Jaffe) has contributed a score with the right combination of imagination, humor and restraint. Kochalka's comic-book skills certainly give him a leg up in the liner-note department — why explain your philosophy of life when you can draw it? While Carrot Boy could easily become the new cult favorite of Kochalka's cognoscindie fans, the disc is truly suitable for children as well. The naughty astronaut has cleaned up his language, and set aside his priapic ego, for this G-rated project. Bonus: The quick-hit C.3 C V K. S»«K morality tale — perfect for the A.D.D. set — even comes with a karaoke version of itself. Yes, just when you thought the thing was over, on comes JKS/Carrot Boy explaining to & I < kiddies how to use the following musical tracks, and encouraging them to take on the opera's roles — any additional friends, he suggests, could be other vegetables or "townspeople." I found it more fun just to listen to the short-and-sweet tracks, without the sometimes grating vocals, and ingratiating saccharine. Anyone who's followed Kochalka's unique and remarkable trajectory so far — or who happened upon his CD release party shared by Yolanda & the Plastic Family last Saturday at Higher Ground — can tell you he's...inimitable. Oh, and the carrot-orange disc is lovely. — Pamela Polston

The author of Manifest Poetry, Freeman is a leading proponent of an innovative literary-artistic genre that combines artwork with companion poetry texts.

t's been an unlucky 13 th annual festival for Art's Alive. First, the main exhibit at Union Station was rendered inaccessible to the public foj much of July by the filming of Jim Carrey's Me, Myself and Irene. That proved "a real nightmare" forjtfftists and organizers, sayr^wis Alive coordinator ^tcTrry Racich. Most years, she notes, collectors purchase about five works from the show, but due to this summer's truncated schedule, only one piece had been sold 10 days prior to the festival's close. That painting by Ethan Murrow, rented for use in the filming, was bought by an Irene team executive.

"CEO," by Ethan Murrow Now that the show is finally — and briefly —- up again, it risks being upstaged by its own venue. Visitors to the split-level exhibit space in the strikingly remodeled Union Station might find themselves more enthralled by the interior architecture and the big views than by the art on display. This is not to suggest that the 60 or so works are without interest. On the contrary, several are sure to catch browsers' attention, and a few will linger in the mind's eye for more than a day or two. Overall, the show is notable for a diversity of styles within a traditional medium. Painting lives at Art's Alive, giving this festival of new works a cuddly, old-fashioned feeling. Still, the winners of this juried festival — the judges decided to honor four people equally with prizes of $500 each — were non-painters: sculptors Orion Fredericks and John Housekeeper, installation artist

— up again, it risks } being upstaged by its own venue.

without at least one or two video pieces is a rarity these days. But the absence of such works at Art's Alive isn't necessarily a deficit, given the inaccessibility of much video art in Soho or Chelsea galleries. Installation art is also underrepresented here, by today's standards. Nor does sculpture have much of a presence at Union Station, while at the show's companion outdoor sculpture site — the lawn of S.T. Griswold cement company on Industrial Avenue in Williston — only a few new pieces are to be seen. One of these sculptures, made by Fredericks, blew down in a storm and has been allowed to remain in a forlorn heap of straw, while a couple of intriguing works in pseudoancient Egyptian style are unlabeled. In keeping with the festival's generally tame tenor, many of the paintings, prints and photographs at Union Station are straightforwardly representational. Still, Art's Alive cannot be confused with "Envisioned in a Pastoral Setting" — the fall exhibit of often-banal Vermont landscapes held at Shelburne Farms. A couple of scenes of hills and hayfields can be seen at the bottom of Main Street, but much of the work looks like it was made in nearby studios, not en plein air in Craftsbury.

My own list of standouts begins with Polly Thompson's impossible-to-overlook painting of a stylized dog leaping directly at the viewer through a ring of fire. The blank background gives the imposing image a surreal spin, while its title, "With This Ring," strikes an apt note of whimsy. "Carnival of Squash, w a work of similar spirit, has been given pride of place above a stairway leading to the shows

chorus line of colorful squash dances merrily against a gray backdrop of Janus masks. It's an accomplished and imaginative performance. Denizens of downtown will appreciate "College Street — Green Light," an example of photorealism by Maciej Ceglowski. The artists rather muddy palette does not diminish his rendering of Burlington's finest building: the College Street Congregational Church, seen here through bare trees from a vantage point near PhotoGarden. "Miss Vermont," a monoprint by Grace Lance, glistens as one of the shows underpriced gems. This vivacious melange of purple, yellow and lavender improvises rhythmically on the female silhouette. Not to be bypassed, despite its small dimensions and contemplative mood, is an untitled monotype by Racich herself. Her sedate study of a fruitshaped form makes no great claims, but provides rich rewards. Dorothy Martinez has created another of the show's noteworthy abstractions, "Eclipse," in which color planes push against one another like tectonic plates h la Richard Diebenkorn. Jane Horner has likewise produced a colorful four-part suite of geometric forms in "Montreal Galerie Pink, Rue Notre Dame," whimsically subtitled "nighttime drive-by installation." More in sync with the usual definition of "installation" is Jude Bonds wry "Ode to Christo." Here we get a look at how the superstar wrapper might have decorated his nursery. Several stuffed animals on a changing table and in a baby basket have been cocooned in pale cloth and bound with string, creating a scene at once ghostly and amusing. It's something of an art-crowd in-joke, but the piece also has a goofy charm. ®

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman play a ^ ^ Y o r k c o u p J p ^ , drawn into a shadow-world of sexual obsession, jealousy and guilt. (R) DROP DEAD G0RGE0US** 1 / 2 Kirstie Alley and Ellen Barkin play mothers scheming to help their daughters win a beauty pageant in this comic mockumentary from director Michael Patrick Jann. (PG-13) INSPECTOR GADGET** 1 / 2 Matthew Broderick stars in Disney's live-action adaptation of the popular cartoon series. AMERICAN P I E * * " 2 There's Something About Mary meets Porkys in this envelope-pushing comedy about high-school friends who concoct a plan to lose their virginity by prom night. Jason Biggs and Chris Klein star. Brother Paul and Chris Weitz direct. (R) LAKE PLACID*** Writer-producer David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal," "Picket Fences," "The Practice") can do no wrong on the small screen, it would seem. This big-screen foray has straightto-video written all over it, however. Bridget Fonda and Bill Pullman star in a Jaws rip-off about a 35-foot 'gator wreaking havoc in a Maine lake. (R) MUPPETS FROM SPACE*** Kermit and Miss Piggy boldly go where no frog or talking pork product have gone before in the^ latest family-friendly feature from Brian Henson. (G) SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER AND U N C U T * * * * Everybody's favorite little terrors make it to the big screen in what I would guess t o be the first major studio cartoon t o sport an anti-censor-

(R) BIG DADDY** 1/2 Dennis (Happy Gilmore) Dugan and Adam Sandler reunite for the saga of a law-school grad who tries to convince his girlfriend he's ready for commitment by pretending to adopt a five-year-old boy. With Jon Stewart and Dylan Sprouse. (PG-13)

DAZED AND C O N F U S E D * * * ' * Director Richard Linklater follows up his 1993 classic, Slacker, with this look at high-school life, 70s style. (PG-13) THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER* 1 * John Travolta and Madeleine Stowe star in the big-screen version of Nelson DeMilles 1992 best-seller about a warrant officer looking into a particularly vicious murder. James Woods co-stars. Simon (Con Air) West directs. (R) T A R Z A N * * * 1 * With more than 50 big-screen versions of the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic already on the shelves, you might have thought it's all been done before. Disney execs thought differently. Hey, they rationalized, it hasn't been done by Rosie O'Donnell, Minnie Driver and Tony Goldwyn before. So here you go — an umpteenth and totally animated new take on the same old story. (G) STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE** Forget the Force — may the No-Doz be with you if you decide to sit through George Lucas' overhyped and under-written saga about Jedi knights (Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor) trying to save a planet from invasion. The dialogue is stunningly banal.

Ditto the new characters and most of the derivative action sequences. Short on warmth and humor, and long on computer imaging, the film succeeds less as a fleshed-out story than as an ad for the director's special-effects business, and an opportunity to make millions in merchandising tie-ins. (PG) SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE*** John (Mrs. Brown) Madden directs this wisely praised look at what the early years of the Bard s career and love life might have been like. Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow star. (R) THE M U M M Y * * * I'll tell you why I'm glad this has finally gotten to town: I'm sick of sitting through its trailer every time I go to a movie.

W

e hate "chat" rooms — the online meeting places where you can go to hang out and listen to some of the most banal conversation on the planet. Every evening — and any other time of day — millions of people cozy up to their computers, head to their favorite chat rooms or channels, and swap one-liners with their online friends. America Online and Internet providers make zillions of dollars from these people. People say that chat is the single biggest use of America Online. For people using the Web directly, there is Internet Relay Chat. To find an IRC client, look for MIRC at http://india.aosi.com/circ95. html or http://www.mirc.com/ — it's free! Then, if you must find a virtual friend to talk to, you can hook up to the granddaddy of Internet chat systems, with several networks of computers and thousands of chats running at any given moment. Hundreds of Web-based chat sites — big ones like TalkCity.com and ChatZone.com — host hundreds, if not thousands, of chats and small sites with just one topic. Our favorite off-beat topic of the week: a get-together of small school band directors from Texas.

So why do we hate chat? Because the "band width" is really low: The amount of actual conversation that takes place through the keyboard is very small, and it takes place very slowly. Reading the transcript of a one-hour chat takes about five minutes. Having the same conversation in person takes

Call now for information

about two minutes. But, as those Texas band directors might tell you, there is value in hooking up with other people, scattered all over the globe, who share your interest. The Internet is a powerful communication device for two main reasons: It erases geographic distance and it erases time-zone differences. There are other reasons, too, but for now let's stick with these two. Jordan used to work in an office that did a lot of business with Japan. It was wonderful to be able to send six e-mails over the course of the work day and know that they would be answered overnight, when the Japanese were toiling at their desks. The Internet truly allows you to chat with people anywhere. But the other advantage is that you can chat without regard to time. So instead of using the Internet like a giant party-line telephone conversation, why not use it like a giant bulletin board? One of the earliest uses of the Internet was for just this kind of thing. A system of "newsgroups" was created that allowed people to read messages posted by others and respond to them — sort of a cross between a bulletin board and a graffiti wall. That system, called Usenet, still exists, but it requires a specialpurpose newsreader program. Netscape Navigator comes with one named Netscape Newsgroups, and Outlook Express can read Usenet news-

How do you build a community? We don't have time to respond to all that here, but we have been thinking about how organizations such as churches, small businesses, towns — or even huge companies — can use the Internet to get people talking. Every organization has various constituencies — groups of people with whom they communicate. A company has employees, customers, suppliers, sales representatives, a

As Minnesota's unset r

and other groups don't. Some groups want to talk among themselves, while other groups just want to get an update from the organization from time to time. As Minnesota's upset wrestler-turned-governor Jesse Ventura knew, e-mail lists are a great way to organize people. The Internet allows organizations to set up all kinds of communication channels. You can have announcement mail- * ing lists, where people sign up to receive announcements by e-mail. You can have discussion mailing lists, where anyone can chime in by sending an e-mail message to the list, which in turn distributes it to all the list subscribers. You can have open mailing lists, so anyone can sign up, and closed lists, which are by invitation only. Committees can have lists, boards of directors can have lists, and meetings can go on day and night at members' convenience. To set up your own mailing lists, check out OneList.com or Topica.com.

groups, too. Or you can read newsgroup messages at the Deja.com Web site. We think there's a better way to chat with people: emailing lists. If you already use e-mail, then mailing lists don't require any special software. By sending an e-mail to a special address — sometimes you can visit a Web site instead — you can subscribe to an e-mailing list on a specific topic. As people send messages to the list, you'll get information about

things you're interested in. We subscribe to lists on writing computer books, parenting and keeping chickens. We also get to know some of the people who share our interests, and we can do it whenever it's convenient for us. Conversely, our correspondents do it when it's convenient for them. This idea of communities on the Internet is an interesting one, and it brings up all sorts of questions, such as: What is a community? What does a community need to be able to do?

board of directors and so on. A church has the members of its board, the church-goers, the Sunday School teachers — you get the idea. For example, Phish has several constituencies: fans in many locations, concert organizers and volunteers who work at the concerts, for starters. There is a Phish newsgroup (rec.music.phish) and two Phish mailing lists: Phish-Newbies and Digi-Phish. Each of these groups has communication needs — or desires, anyway. Some groups have a lot to say to each other

How can your organization or group use the Internet to get closer together? Will it result in information overload, or in wonderful new ways of sharing information and experience? Let us know what happens, at MJ7Days@gurus.com. (Z)

his time they've gone too far. Never mind that giant agri-chem companies have been poisoning soil, water, air and people for decades. That they've been forcing family farms out of business and screwing up biodiversity. Now they're killing monarch butterflies! What's next on their hit list — rainbows and smiley faces? Until its war on butterflies, agribusiness had been doing its dastardly deeds with minimal protest from the general public. That's gonna change. Butterflybashing is bound to raise the ire of the influential pre-teen girl faction. Agribusiness is in trouble now. The butterfly slaughter is just more proof of the Overkill Theorem, presented here a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it should more accurately be called "When bad

^ ^ happen t o good ideas." And when you mess with two good ideas, the trouble is squared. In this case, those ideas are genetic engineering and natural pesticides. Maybe genetic engineering is not such a great idea after all, though it looked good on the drawing board. The technology could have been used to create wonder crops containing more vitamins and minerals, or to make tobacco non-addictive. We could dream about scientists blasting St. John's Wort D N A into Brussels sprouts to enable us to feel good about eating our vegetables. Genetic engineering might have saved the world, were it controlled by the forces of good rather than the forces of evil. But ag companies quickly perverted the science. Once they got their fingers on the trigger of a gene gun, the first thing they did was to bio-engineer cotton to make it herbicideresistant. Now that's something the world's been clamoring for. Thanks to herbicide-resistant crops, hundreds of thousands more acres in America can be sterilized with herbicides. Agri-spin doctors tried to put a positive take on it, saying that using more herbicides equals less cultivation and erosion, and will save jillions of acres of

soil from washing into the Gulf of Mexico. Nobody fell for that. But then again, nobody raised enough of a stink to put a stop to it, either. The next great idea seemed much more spinnable: How about engineering plants — corn, cotton, potatoes — so that the plants themselves could poison bugs? Not only that, they said, we'll engineer them so they contain an organic, naturally occurring pesticide, Bt. How could you not love that? What could possibly go wrong? Plenty. Bt stands for Bacillus thurengiensis, but it could just as easily stand for "Blessed totem," for the microbe Bt is the keystone of organic farming and gardening. It's totally natural. It's

would happen if the organic movement lost Bt. It might. In fact, some say it's all part of the agri-chem companies' sinister plan: Start by _ embracing Bt and finish by rendering it useless. Bugs have not developed immunity to Bt because it's been used on a small scale in gardens and on farms that tend to foster crop diversity. But start using it on thousands of acres of monocrops and resistance is bound to occur. Multiply that by the fact that this new bio-Bt is present in every cell of every plant, every minute of the day, and you just compound the chances that insects will build up a resistance to it. In fact, scientists predict that resistance will occur so rapidly that Bt will be useless within five years. But before that happens, Bt is going to take some butterflies down with it. Problem is, bio-Bt is not staying put. "Btenabled" corn contains Bt in every grain of pollen. That's millions of grains of pollen per plant. And it's very mobile. It travels on the wind — for miles — and may land on plants, such as milkweed, that are favored by other lepidopterous insects, including Lepidoptera danaidae, the monarch butterfly. The result? Studies from Cornell University and Iowa State University show that pollen from Bt corn is indeed killing monarch butterflies at an alarming rate.

selective — killing, for the most part, only the intended victims, lepidopterous worms such as cabbage looper and cutworm. Best of all, it works — always. Bt works so well that even conventional farmers have been using it for decades. And in all that time, pests have not built up resistance to it. So while the other building blocks of organics — pepper spray, garlic juice, companion planting, mail-order ladybugs — have crumbled, Bt holds firm. Until now. Imagine what

So in one fell swoop, these agricorps have managed to monopolize a market, ring up huge profits, damage the environment and change the very nature of good old Bt. Pardon the Star Wars allusion, but now organic gardeners and farmers are looking at Bt the way the rebels would have considered Luke Skywalker, had he succumbed to the lure of the dark side — as a fallen hero. ©

Jul. 2 9 - Aug. 4 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I

IMMMMMMNMMMNa^^

predict that a record number of you Aries will become branch managers in the coming weeks. Of course some of that number will be accounted for by members of your tribe who get so pissed off at the worlds incompetence that they climb out on a skinny old limb and bark orders at all the leafy twigs. But for those of you who're able to turn your natural superiority into a calming asset rather than a distracting irritant, I expect a promotion further up towards the canopy of the tree of life — where the view is vaster and the air is sweeter.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It won't be a good week to let fate unfold in such a way that you feel like a whipped dog, a laboratory rat or a dancing elephant. But it'll be prime time to create situations that allow you to become like a hungry eagle about to pounce, a horny dolphin cruising for a playmate or an adored cat that everyone wants to pamper. One way or the other, Taurus, you'll be swarming with animal vibes. With a little direction from your human will power, you can ensure that the operative adjective will be serpentine, not cowed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The 16th-century pope Adrian VI was peeved when his critics penned scathingly satirical poems about him and attached the screeds to a public statue for all to read. In time, though, he realized that by tolerating these relatively harmless displays of spleen, he diverted his enemies from expressing their hostility in more dangerous ways. In the next week, Gemini, I suggest you take His Holiness as your role model. Encourage the worried-looking people around you, both loved ones and adversaries, to speak their minds about what's bugging them. It may sting a little, but in the long run you'll be glad you made this pre-emptive strike.

QUARIUS

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It was during a week not unlike this back in 1932 that Elmer Doolin handed a hundred bucks to a grizzled old Mexican cook in exchange for his corn chip recipe. That portentous moment led to the birth of Fritos, a food treasure that would generate fantastic wealth for Doolin in the years to come. Do I mean to imply that a similar miracle is about to transpire in your own life, Cancerian? Nah. It's doubtful that your imminent brainstorm will sling you into the ranks of the world's top plutocrats. But I think there's an excellent chance it'll inspire you to conjure up a lucrative brainchild that'll last a good long while.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): What do you have in common with a contented cow standing in the eye of a hurricane? Or rather, what should you have in common? First, she's got two stomachs, ensuring maximum digestive efficiency. Considering all the food for thought you've been gobbling down lately, you could use the psychic equivalent of two stomachs. Second, the cow remains loose and at ease as blustery winds rearrange the world around her. That's worthy of imitation. There's also one way you and the cow are different. She's in the eye of the hurricane by accident. You've got to be very clever and perceptive in order to end up there.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your beauty is pretty damn unkempt these days. For that matter, your intelligence is about as outof-control as it's possible for a Virgo's intelligence to be. And yet I've got to admit I love it. There's

something exhilarating about your willingness to act as if you have nothing to lose. You actually seem more trustworthy this way. So please keep on stumbling down that crooked path, Virgo. Let your elegance become sloppy with inspiration. Proceed on the theory that you'll discover the best medicine in places that appear to be crawling with chaos.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your power spot needs another coat of paint, Libra. Know what I'm saying? Your soul food has got to bake in the oven just a litde while longer. You need to take your dream machine for one more test drive, pass your masterpiece by the eyes of one more editor, schedule one last dress rehearsal in an empty theater before stepping into the spodight on opening night. But oh, man, Libra, if you do what I say, if you ripen just a tad more, I predict that you will pull off a kick-ass triumph.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Dear Dr. Brezsny: For the two years I've known her, my Scorpio girlfriend Lila has been stable and responsible. Moody, yes, but she's never tried to pour molten lead down my throat while I was sleeping, like my last Scorpio lover did. Lately, though, Lila seems to be undergoing a personality change. ~ She's started to call herself a "woman of destiny," and tells me quite sincerely that she is the new messiah. Should I be worried about her delusions? — The Messiah's Sidekick." Dear Sidekick: What makes you so sure she's suffering from delusions? Back in 1997 I predicted the messiah would return as a female Scorpio, and I still believe

that. It's also true that this is a highoctane confidence-building phase for many Scorpions. Don't be too hard on her if she slips a little over the edge.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Why do planners of Third World health programs not realize that increased life expectancy requires increased food and thereby inadvertendy ends up contributing to starvation?" So asks Dietrich Dorner in his book, The Logic of Failure. The answer, of course, is that we humans are addicted to a belief in simple cause and effect. Immured to life's deeply woven web of connections, we all have difficulty imagining how even good deeds ,can generate unforeseen consequences. Bizarrely enough, this fact will work in your favor this week, Sagittarius, although in the opposite way. Your oversights and half-baked actions will lead not to disaster, but rather to provocative openings.

(Jan. -Feb. 18): I'm going to five cryptic phrases that lieve will be key themes |r you during the next few eeks. They may sound like , but that's only because they resemble the cosmic riddles you'll have to solve in order to understand them. By September 1, they should all make more-thanperfect sense. Here they are: 1) shaky illusions that evolve into solid realities; 2) substitutes that become more authentic than the original; 3) impossible-to-scratch itches that inspire you to escape from chronic indecision; 4) fiery flirtations with rowdy risks that open your eyes to gende, watery mysteries; 5) imaginary friends that appear in the flesh.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Bear with me, Capricorn. I'll be quoting the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose work is mysterious, difficult and almost frighteningly sublime — sort of like you right now. At any other time I might hesitate to immerse you in his eerie lyricism, but these days it makes perfect sense. "Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?" Rilke wrote in The Duino Elegies. "And even if one of them suddenly pressed me against his heart, I should fade in the strength of his stronger existence. For Beauty is nothing but the beginning of Terror we're still just able to bear, and why we adore it so is because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible."

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Do not set your shoes on fire and throw them in the middle of the road. Do not slap yourself in the face after saying something you regret. Do not throw rocks at your own windows, and do not say nasty things about yourself behind your own back. On the other hand, Pisces, do try to cultivate a tough but flexible attitude comparable to that of a vice-principal at an inner city high school. Do play teasing games with the Lords of Karmic Drudgery. Do agree to do the halfright thing when the right thing is utterly impossible. And do try to coax fate into showing you a glimpse of your dream job. ®

Dear Cecil, Did Jesus Christ have brothers and sisters? My friend Kathy and her husband Roy swear they heard that he did during a reading at a Catholic Mass. I find it hard to believe because it seems that it would fly in the face of Mary as the virgin mother, etc. I also find it hard to believe because imagine the pressure of Jesus being your older sibling— i.e., "Your brother can walk on water and you can't even swim." If you can spare some brain cycles on this Fd appreciate it. — A fan in Sweden

Got a point there, Swede. Lends new poignance to the refrain, "My parents treat my brother like he's God." But that's not the heart of the issue as far as Catholics are concerned (and this is mainly a Catholic hang-up). Controversy over Jesus' sibs springs from one of Catholicism's core beliefs. Sure, maybe they took away our Latin Mass and fish on Friday, too. But we've still got the virgin birth. The New Testament contains several references to Jesus' brothers and sisters, the most explicit of which is Matthew 13:55-56, in which the neighbors wonder where Jesus gets off with all this preaching: "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?" The words in the Greek original are adelphoi, brothers, and adelphi, sisters. They can be used in a metaphorical, brotherhood-of-man sense, just like their English equivalents. But the context strongly suggests the strict sense, i.e., children of the same mom. The Catholic take, however, is that the words have yet another meaning: cousins, or perhaps Joseph's children by a previous marriage. This tortured reading is necessary so as not to contradict the aforementioned doctrine of the virgin birth. (The VB, by the way, is different from the Immaculate Conception, the belief that Mary was free of original sin, which was declared Catholic dogma in 1854.) Now, some would have you believe that "virgin" as used in the New Testament (in Greek, parthenos) merely meant "unmarried woman" and lacked our modern connotation of a woman who has not had sexual intercourse. That implies that the notion of Jesus being conceived without sex resulted from a mistranslation. But this argument doesn't hold water. After the angel of the

Annunciation has informed Mary that she is about to have a son, Luke 1:34 says, "Then Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" — i.e., she was a virgin in the modern sense. Still, it's one thing to believe Mary was a virgin before the birth of Christ. It's quite another to believe she was a virgin after. (I know, you secular humanists think the whole thing's for the birds, but work with me on this.) According to Catholic belief, Mary was "ever virgin" — she got married and conceived and bore a child, yet somehow remained a virgin her entire life»The very model of virtuous womanhood, no? At any •rate, that's why Catholics are obliged to conclude Jesus had no brother or sisters, despite the seemingly plain meaning of the text. Dear Cecil, Why is salt used with ice to make ice cream, yet you pour salt on icy sidewalks to melt the ice? — ML, via the Internet Back to the simplicities of chemistry. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, typically to the mid-20s Fahrenheit. If the air temperature is greater than the mid-20s, ice sprinkled with salt will melt. In an ice-cream maker, you want to rapidly lower the temperature while whipping air into the cream mixture using the crank. The water dripping from ordinary melting ice will remain at a constant temperature of 32 degrees. The water from a melting ice and salt mixture, however, will drop to the mid-20s due to the lowered freezing point. The lower the temperature, the quicker the ice cream freezes and the sooner you can stop cranking and enjoy. ®

Car KEEP YOUR COOL, LOOSE THE RETROFIT KIT Dear Tom and Ray: My local friendly discount auto parts store has been sending out flyers saying that they have R-134a air conditioning retrofit kits. The flyer says it includes "all fittings and ^e full amount of R-134a oil and refrigerant needed to retrofit all cars 1976 and newer"for only $39.95. I'm no expert, but everything I've heard and Had says that you need to have a completely new air onditioning system installed — one that was designed to handle 134a

Order For Service Bv Publication Petitioner Burlington Realty Associates, L.P. ( " B R A " ) has petitioned the Court seeking a judicial decree to establish the boundry line between 2 4 2 - 2 4 8 College Street and 2 5 2 College Street in Burlington, Vermont. As alleged in the Petition, the instant action places in issue an undeveloped strip of land approximately 7 feet in width and approximately 9 0 feet in length between the buildings that occupy 2 4 2 - 2 4 8 College Street and 2 5 2 College Street. The last recorded owner of this strip of property was Max Fienberg. This action will be decided in the Chittenden Superior Court. Pursuant to Rule 1 2 of the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure, Max Fienberg is required to appear and defend this action within 2 0 days after service. Upon consideration of BRA's Motion for Leave to Serve by Publication, it is hereby O R D E R E D as follows: 1. That the full text of this Order be published in the newspaper Seven Days once a week and at least seven days apart for two or more successive weeks; 2 .

when you switch to 134a, you also need a bigger evaporator and a more powerful compressor in addition to the fittings, oil and refrigerant. RAY: If you just put the 134a in your current system using this kit, it'll work, but it won't cool very well. T O M : But the second, and more important, reason for not using this kit is because it's immoral, if not illegal. Federal law requires that you dispose of the Freon that's in your current AC system.You're just going to dump it out, right? And that's illegal. So in my opinion, this kit shouldn't even be available for sale to individuals. T O M : And that's why we recommended the Mountain Dew. Not only is it more environmental-

Freon into the atmosphere, but it'll also do more to keep you cool this summer than this bogus retrofit kit.
