VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION

TOP COPS I’m writing in response to Ken Picard’s article about violence in the Old North End [“Local Matters,” August 20]. I went to the Police Commission meeting on Aug. 12 and was gratified to see Ken, a dedicated guy, being there to listen. I’d like to point out another issue that came up during that meeting, in addition to what he correctly pointed out about UVM failing to report any further sex crimes this year. The issue that concerned me was that CUSI (Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations), on which board I once served, reported that they’ve not served the “minority communities” other than a few Eastern European families. How is CUSI going to address this under-serv ing of the African-American, Vietnamese and other minority families? The director, Jen, was very receptive to this point, and will, I hope, be given resources to address the problem soon. I would personally like to see CUSI, the most cooperative and effective unit in force, expand its role to include domestic violence in general across the county. They have learned how to get results, and if they can expand to serve minority groups as well,

they will have done better than most of our other agencies. Genevieve Jacobs BURLINGTON

FLOUTING THE RULES Was it some sort of inside joke that you chose the “Back to School” issue to perpetuate the classic confusion between the words “flaunt” and “flout” [“Them’s The Rules,” August 27]? I assume it was intentional, because you flaunted it in giant type in your first pull-quote. Hey, editors: Have a care for your impressionable young readers. Tom Daley MARSHFIELD

DRIVER'S ED Dear Jemigan [“Hackie,” August 27], I just wanted to thank you for... well, for the columns, which help me get a grip on the, er, varied personalities in my adopted city. But mainly I want to thank you for speaking up about the flagrant use of rape. I am older, probably not wiser, but no dumbass. I don’t get my hack les in a bind when someone doesn’t use a politically correct term, unless of course it’s a racial slur. But what can you say when

someone says, “I just got raped at the ticket counter”? It makes me so mad!! I was raped, and 18 sur geries on my face alone, 10 years of therapy and many sleepless nights has done nothing to help me even speak the word “rape” out loud. Who is this punk to know what it was to be raped? O f course we are in a polite (think of me saying that with an ironic smile) society, and it would be uncomfortable to respond, “W hat the hell do you know about rape, you spineless asshole?” So I put on a rictus of a smile and think of something else... a taxi ride with an interest ing driver, perhaps. Thanks sir, for sticking up for me and my likes. We are deeply grateful to be defended when we cannot for ourselves. Victoria Majere WINOOSKI

BIG BLUES Let me get this straight: In the last business quarter IBM , ^ {“Inside Track,” August 20] reported worldwide profits of about $1.5 billion, and now the financially strapped State of Vermont must pay out about a million bucks in unemployment benefits to the 3000 Essex Junction workers being laid off

If we must tolerate Repub licans in power, let it be a man like Teddy Roosevelt, who brings the Wall Street hounds to bay, and not our Mister Peepers gov ernor who rolls over and begs every time his corporate masters threaten to take away his scraps.

Freyne in his column last week [“Inside Track,” August 27], I have the ironic experience of being a little kettle having been called black by the biggest pot in Vermont.

FRANKLIN

OFF TRACK? As one of the “smart-alecky” let ter-writers identified by Peter

(on which we agree), and a cri tique of the shallowness of the Freeps’ journalism (which he himself has often trumpeted). However, one reason why “Inside Track” is a must-read for me every week is that Peter always takes the risk that he will either hit the bull’s-eye that no one else aims for, or, on occa sion, miss the target.

review and considered the criti cism creative. My concern is the following: “This kind of stream-of-consciousness blathering can still get the band a gig at Nectar’s, but it doesn’t bode particularly well for the future” I found this line to be unnec essary, embarrassing, hurtful and just plain cruel. Your point up until then, whether one agrees or disagrees, was articulated well. Your point was very clear to any one who may read it. The Nectar’s line felt like a cheap shot. A boxer getting hit after the bell. Perhaps you could’ve written something along the lines of “You can judge for yourself this Saturday at Nectar’s at the Lestons’ CD release party.” Ya know, support local music. A lit tle plug. I guess that’s about it. I’m not sure, but I sense from your review, that you’ve never seen our live show. Maybe I’m wrong. But check us out at Nectar’s Saturday. If you can’t make it, we ll be at the Rusty Nail on Friday, Sept. 26th. Imagine that. Matt Perry

Curses, Foiled Again Authorities in Marion, South Carolina, said that Sandra Grice, 37, tried to stage her own death by digging up a skeleton from a cemetery, putting it in her car, then setting the car on fire so she wouldn’t have to appear in court on federal drug charges. The scheme failed when the flames went out soon after Grice left the scene because the car doors were closed and the windows rolled up, depriving the fire of oxygen.

Nowheresville State-hired contrac tors painted a white-striped pedestrian crossing in Foster, Rhode Island, but it connects a large hedge on a busy country road to a small stone property wall on the other. “We’ve been trying to get a traffic light on Route 6, and here they go and put a crosswalk up that would only be good for deer or wild turkeys or tur tles or something,” police Chief Donald Kettelle said. “It’s a crosswalk to nowhere.” Explaining that the contrac tors accidentally painted the crossing after seeing “Pedestrian Crossing” signs that were posted 20 years ago to make drivers slow down, Frank Corrao, chief civil engineer for traffic engineering said that rather than spend $200 to remove the crosswalk, the state would leave it and let it fade over time.

regimes rationale for invading the country, U.S. officials and military officers insisted that the Iraqis had figured out how to beat the lie detectors. According to The Washington Times, officials explained that lying routinely may have been so much a part of the culture of Saddam Hussein’s government that the loyalists became adept at it, that the Iraqi intelligence serv ice and Special Security Organization trained the loyalists to beat the machine and that polygraphs are just not accurate. • After capturing the international airport outside Baghdad, U.S. troops helped themselves to duty-free items, needlessly shot up the airport and trashed five serv iceable Boeing airplanes looking for com fortable seats and souvenirs. Noting that the conflict was over when the looting and vandalism occurred, a U.S. military official told Time magazine, “These are just bored soldiers.”

His friends paid $40 for the female entertainers to get Scheidt on the main stage and dance. After Scheidt climbed onto the stage, female entertainers told him to lie on his back and straddle a pole. Two of the dancers held Scheidt’s arms down as a third climbed up the pole about 6 feet and then “let herself free fall down the pole,” the lawsuit said, noting that she landed, “squarely on his genitals causing him excruciating pain.” Scheidt said he told the dancers to stop, but they refused and proceeded to take turns climbing the pole and falling on him in a similar fash ion. While on his honeymoon, Scheidt was unable to consummate his marriage because of “serious and permanent injuries” he sustained from the dancers falling on him, the suit said. ®

Crop B u s te rs ? t’s been half a decade since the pollen dust of genetically engineered crops first began blowing across Vermont’s farmlands. It’s been just five months since the Agency of Agriculture got a handle on how many farms are producing it. And only now is the state trying to set boundaries on where the wind may carry it. Critics of genetically modified organisms — plants whose DNA has been altered to resist herbicides and produce higher yields — suspect that GMOs have made inroads into Vermont agriculture ever since biotech companies began licensing them to farmers in the mid-1990s. But in April, Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Steve Kerr revealed

The most likely solution to be adopted in Vermont is the establishment of buffer zones between GM and non-GM fields. how deeply they’ve taken root. Currently, 44 percent of all crops planted in Vermont

•

than was previously believed. Acknowledg ing that the genetic genie is out of the botde, Kerr convened an advisory committee to draft guidelines whereby GMO and nonGMO farms could peacefully coexist. This committee of farmers, lobbyists, lawmakers, environmentalists and other industry experts met in Montpelier last week for the third of six scheduled meet ings. But what was soon apparent was how little common ground exists between them. Even before discussions were underway to draft “best management practices” for farm ing GM and non-GM crops side by side, critics were already voicing doubt that coex istence is scientifically achievable — or even desirable. They wanted to know if it’s possi ble to prevent genetic drift, the migration of GM seeds or pollen from one field to another. And if not, who should bear finan cial responsibility for damages caused when GM crops begin sprouting in non-GM fields? For Vermont’s certified organic farms, which represent the fastest growing sector of the state’s farm economy, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Last year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture adopted guide lines for certifying organic growers. Although the US DA will not automatically decertify an organic farm if GM contamina tion occurs in its fields, organic growers say that’s irrelevant once consumers lose confi dence in their products. “Every store that I sell my yogurt to wants a GM-free affidavit from me,” said Jack Lazor, an drganic farmer from Westfield and a member of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont. “So maybe the USDA says that I can still sell it, but there’s no place that wants to buy it because people are scared to death of this stuff.” The most likely solution to be adopted in Vermont is the establishment of buffer zones between GM and non-GM fields. Presumably, buffer zones lie fallow or con tain crops that cannot be contaminated by genetic drift. But buffer zones also raise as many questions as they answer. First, how

large will they need to be and who will make that determination? “We hear a lot of different things. I’ve heard talk of buffers from 75 feet to 30 miles,” said Jim Bushey, owner of Bourdeau and Bushey, a Middlebury agribusiness. “If we really want to coexist, we have to make an all-out effort not to exaggerate and be honest and upfront with one another.” Organic farmer and state Rep. David Zuckerman (P-Burlington) pointed out that any standards Vermont adopts could have trouble keeping pace with rapidly emerging biotechnologies. What happens, for instance, when new species of GMO crops hit the market? Will each new crop, or fami ly of crops, require a different size buffer zone? And which farmer will have to remove tillable land from production to create that buffer? GM farmers say it should be the organic farmers, whose crops require special certification. Organic growers argue that it’s GM seeds that are soiling the gene pool. Then there’s the issue of liability. Obviously, no one wants Vermont farmers suing one another over genetic drift. But conventional farmers who plant GM crops and strictly follow manufacturers’ directions Say they shouldn’t be held liable for dam ages they cannot realistically prevent. And what happens when a new GM crop is introduced whose pollen is carried not by wind but by bees? GMO critics suggest that all liability should fall upon the manufac turer. But others contend that it’s unrealistic to impose zero tolerance on the spread of a genetic material once it’s released into the environment. “We’re all breathing the same air in this room and society has made deci sions about what we can and cannot put into the air,” argued Vermont Farm Bureau president Clark Hinsdale III. “We can’t just have a zero-tolerance standard on things that involve common assets like air and water.” “Perhaps what you’re suggesting is that farmers who want to plant GMOs would be required to have permits if they’re going to be impinging on their neighbors’ produc tion practices,” suggested Ben Davis with Vermont Public Interest Research Group. “No, I wasn’t suggesting that,” Hinsdale countered. Others argue that the only way to ensure that GMO pollen doesn’t spread where it doesn’t belong is to impose a moratorium on GMO crops in Vermont. But that, according to GMO proponents, is also unreasonable. “From the Farm Bureau’s point of view, coexistence [of GM and nonGM crops] is more than a goal. It’s a funda mental precept of our democracy,” said Hinsdale. Bushey agreed. “We will try to be coop erative with your needs,” he said, addressing the organic farmers. “But if we try to bring this thing to a situation where there’s a gov ernment review for the sale of every GMO, it will be a dogfight.” And that, said Secretary Kerr, will lead to laws being written by the courts, not the Legislature. And it’ll be the organic farmers, he predicted, who will lose that dogfight.® Email Ken at ken@sevendaysvt.com

• As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her likes and dislikes changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what’s inside them.) TINA TURNER claims that she has a lot in common with Sandra BULLOCK. MICKEY ROONEY went into a trance watching the YULE log burn. MARILYN MANSON prefers WARNER Brothers cartoons to Disney cartoons.

ummer of pure, unadulterated, hightech hell — I salute you! God blast this machine, Toshiba, Bill Gates, Circuit City, Best Buy, Dell and every geek in town who won’t work on weekends. A ll of them. Seven-hundred-fifty dollars down the drain trying to repair this piece of shit, $200 in extra software, untold hours of work gone by, not to mention happiness, serenity, conven ience and my sweet disposition. And to think I wrote my first book with a pen cil and paper! Sic transit gloria SUCKER! How the hell did we get into this mess? “Superhighway,” my ass. Working on a computer is like leaving Manhattan on a Friday, or, for that matter, driving in Burlington anytime: By the time you get where you’re going, you’re ready to cut your throat. “Burlington!” the local daily chirps in a recent editorial — “it’s not about the car!” W hat is it about, then? Downtown supermarkets, where the first thing you notice when you walk in are tubs of saf fron, “fresh artisanal breads,” fancy floral igemeofcs and sandwiches for $6.95? e will a m e in handy in the Old North End! “Progressives,” my ass, etc. Folks, don’t kid yourselves — it’s about the car, just like it’s about the computer. Mine, specifically, which at the moment — thanks to the “Blaster” worm or “SoBig” or Osama Bin Laden — will type most letters in lower case if I keep the “Caps Lock” on and hold down the shift key, some letters in upper case if I reverse this procedure, and no letters at all when it feels like napping. It has a ghost in it, or a poltergeist, that flashes the “Start” menu on and off, prompts me for passwords it never remembers and opens the “Accessibility” features for the blind and deaf whenever I hit the letter between “1” and “n.” *eantime, big layoffs at IB* — I should think they’d lay them off! Why not, if this is the best they can do? The Republicans — pack of bald-faced liars — are trying to blame it on Dean but the massacre in Essex is only the begin ning, according to my brother, who’s worked at IBM for 22 years in Virginia and New York. The one thing this com pany hasn't been cutting is its profits: $1.7 billion, or 97 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2003, up from $56 million, or 3 cents per share, in the comparable period last year. Such is the nature of “economic recovery” under the Busheviks. Happy Labor Day — 2.7 million people out of work since The Idiot came to power and the fatheaded citizens of this dumb-ass land still can’t see that the emperor does n’t have clothes. O n the contrary, the recession is over, the economy’s in “turnaround,” the “indicators” all are good! Your children might be starving and you don’t have any teeth, but Dubya’s down in Craw ford “clearing brush,” Laura’s reviving the quail population by planting “native grasses,” and that little stream they installed out back for the benefit of pho

tographers is just teeming with happy fish -— none of them poisoned by mer cury, oil, nuclear waste or human excre ment. Yours will be for decades to come, once this crowd is through with its work. Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times: “Over the last two years we’ve become accustomed to the pattern. Each time this administration comes up with another whopper, [its] partisan support ers — a group that includes a large seg ment of the news media — obediently insist that black is white and up is down. Meanwhile, the ‘liberal’ media report only that some people say that black is black and up is up.” It’s like Howard Dean, whose “Sleepless Summer” and surge in the polls, welcome though they are, still won’t allow him to call Pipsqueak a liar.

Happy Labor Day — 2.7 million people out of work since The Idiot came to power and the fat headed citizens of this dumb-ass land still can't see that the emperor doesn't have clothes. “When this president talks,” says Dean, “sometimes the opposite of what he says is really the truth.” Way to go, Howard, but you must have learned “sleepless” in med school. Snap even far ther out of the mold, please, for all our sakes. It’s the only way to win. Other wise, we’ll get generals — ouch! — Lieberman — gasp! — or Hillary Goddamn Clinton, none of whom belongs in the Oval Office, as Bill Clinton can tell you... And would you look at that! The clock on my computer has just switched spontaneously from noon to 7:00 a.m. According my online calendar, it’s February 14, 1785. Weren’t we all afraid this would happen when the Millen nium came? Me, I’m going fishing, hav ing just discovered Tennessee Williams’ final words, scrawled in ink on a notepad before he choked on that “childproof” bottle cap: “Knowledge — Zzzzzp! Money — Zzzzzp! — Power! That’s the cycle democracy is built on!” Lucky stiff — and he never had a username, either. ® Email Peter at peterkurth@peterkurth.com

Dear Cecil, Couldyou please explain how the designated hitter rule works in the American League? I understand that the designated hitter bats for a pitcher, but that’s about it. I have seen games where the designated hitter suddenly plays defense. Once this happens, the pitcher suddenly has to bat! The whole process is so confus ing only you can make us understand. — Ian via the Internet The DH rule! Ah, the perfect topic for an end-of-summer meta-answer, in which I convey timeless wisdom without ever having to get out of the hammock. In fact, I’m not even sure I want to ruffle the dendrites coming up with original thoughts — better just to cite the baseball sachems. (Conservative columnist and iiberfan George Will and statis tics guru Bill James have both written extensively on the DH, and three distinguished economists have published a scholarly paper on the subject.) First, however, to address the question you actually asked. Although the basic concept of the DH is pretty simple — he bats for the pitcher, like you said — Major League Baseball’s rule 6.10 provides, as is only right and proper, for certain confusing subdeties. To wit: “The Designated Hitter may be used defensively, continuing to bat in the same posi tion in the batting order, but the pitcher must then bat in the place of the substituted defensive player, unless more than one substitution is made, and the manager then must designate their spots in the batting order.” Moreover, “once a pinch hitter bats for any player in the batting order and then enters the game to pitch, this move shall terminate the Designated Hitter role for the remainder of the game. Once the game pitcher bats for the Designated Hitter this move shall terminate the Designated Hitter role for the remainder of the game.” You may ask: Why on Earth would the game pitcher pinch-hit for the DH? The whole point of the DH is to avoid making the pitcher bat. Answer: Obviously the rule makers were trying to cover all the bases, you should pardon

the expression, by anticipating every potential (if unlikely) managerial move. What folks really want to know, I’m sure, is whether the DH — introduced to regular-season play on April 6, 1973, when Ron Blomberg of the Yankees stepped up to face Luis Tiant of the Red Sox — has undermined the republic, as many feared. Working hypothesis: No, because I began writ ing this column that same year, thereby helping to shore things up. The aforementioned sachems, I’m pleased to note, by and large agree: • George Will. As befits a guy who probably showers in a coat and bow tie, Will initially opposed the DM, loftily bar- ; rumphing in the early*|980s thai the rule Was “America’s worst mistake since electing President Buchanan” and “partly to blame for the federal deficit.” (I quote from * Will’s 1998 collection of baseball essays, Bunts.) By 1986, however, he’d changed his tune. Noting that “fidelity to * conservative philosophy occasionally requires minor course corrections,” Will conceded that “perhaps the DH serves conservative values,” one of which apparendy is that “only serious batters shall bat.” (That pretty much leaves out pitchers as a class.) Lest one wonder if Will was about to admit that socialism has its points too, the columnist also declared that the whole business was giving him a migraine. • BillJames. Bill James has done for baseball what Aquinas did for God: applied some science to the subject. In The BillJames Historical Baseball Abstract (1986), he addressed the question of whether the DH rule diminishes baseball by obviating the need for certain applications of strategy, “strategy” being defined in the minds of purists as (a) hav ing the pitcher bunt with a man on and (b) pinch-hitting for the pitcher late in the game. Making use of the concept of standard deviation, which admittedly is not that com plicated but in my experience seldom comes up in tavern arguments, James mathematically demonstrated that the DH rule actually increased the use of strategy, provided it was defined more sensibly not as the rote application of traditional moves in traditional situations but rather as the thoughtful consideration of options. The argument is a bit dense to retail here, but, trust me, it’s a nice piece of work. • Brian Goff, William Shughart and Robert Tollison. I know you never heard of these guys. I never heard of them either, but anybody who writes an article in the journal Economic Inquiry entitled “Batter Up! Moral Hazard and the Effects of the Designated Hitter Rule on Hit Batsmen” (July 1997) is someone you want to pay attention to. Goff et alls argument: Because nonbatting pitchers can bean batters without fear of getting beaned themselves, the DH rule inadvertently acts to increase the number of hit bats men. This contention provoked heated replies from other economists — it’s not every day you see the terms “plunk” and “first-order autocorrelation coefficient” in the same article. If you’re looking for me to decide the issue, though, forget it. In the past year I’ve ventured opinions on everything from Martin Heidegger to the war in Iraq, but even I know when to shut my yap.

O f all the trans portation projects CCM PO plans and funds, a new ChittendenCounty roadway often MetropolitanPlanning generates the Organization highest level of public scrutiny and media atten tion. For some large-scale, com plex projects such as the Circ, the media may provide daily coverage o f differing viewpoints. As a result o f this intensive, ongoing cover age, some who follow the news may develop the mistaken impres sion that we place the highest priority on funding roadways.

v:>

W hat’s the real story of the CCMPO? As an organization established by the U.S. government but controlled locally, we plan the use of Federal transportation funds in Chittenden County. O ur goal is a balanced approach that provides for the efficient movement of people and goods, economic vital ity, and preservation of our natural resources and quality o f life. This approach is reflected in virtually every CCM PO plan and policy document. Read them and you’ll learn about our com mitment to: Public involvem ent. Since the CC M PO ’s inception, we have encouraged citizens to learn about transportation issues, share their views, and take part in the decision making process. We are now con sidering a wide range of additional initiatives to improve outreach. N o n -m o to rize d tran sp o rtatio n . O ur new Transportation Plan includes an ambitious plan to double the miles of off-road bicy cle/ pedestrian paths and more than triple the miles of on-road facilities throughout the county.

Transit. The MTP calls for additional bus service in the cur rent service area, as well as new service throughout the county and long-term development of a commuter rail. S m art g ro w th /d ev elo p m en t. Recognizing that growth and development patterns strongly affect the costs and benefits of transportation improvements, we work closely with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) to sup port transit oriented development and good land use planning. E nvironm ental p rotection. Independent consultants assess the potential environmental impact of every capacity expansion project. O ur Route 15 Corridor studies, for example, included detailed Environmental Impact Assessments for both the corridor itself and the proposed commuter rail service. B etter use o f existing roadways. O ur plan calls for low-cost changes in our transportation system, the introduction of trafficmanagement technology, and ongoing road maintenance to increase the quality and reliability of the existing infrastructure. With a growing population and limited funds, our county’s trans portation challenges are more complex than ever. As CCM PO plans new projects and programs, we encourage concerned citizens with diverse points of view to speak out, work with us, and help make our Vision Statement a real ity for future generations.

THE OTH ER TV GUIDE

W hat W atched O ver S u m m e r Vacation

ell, the kids are back in school. Which is nice in the sense that my head is going to explode if I’m exposed to one more minute of “Spongebob Squarepants,” “The Fairly Oddparents” or “Dragonball Z.” Children’s television is great if you’re a fan of nonstop screaming. Apparently there’s nothing the kid brain finds more hilarious. O ur household has three televisions. Get children’s shows going on all of them at once and the noise approximates the wailing and howling one might expect' to hear in a lower circle of Hell, with silly sound effects and a laugh track. So I look forward to watching much-less-ani mated entertainment. Also much less TV about people competing to marry strangers. Isn’t it inter esting that everybody made fun of “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?” when it debuted a few years back, that it was universally reviled as a sham and a tasteless debacle, and yet it continues to spawn imitators? This summer alone saw three of them. “Cupid” and “For Love or Money 2” were snoozy variations on the formula.

American society has become so obsessed with entertainment cul ture and celebrity that the stalkers are now the good guys. “W ho Wants to Marry My Dad?” on the other hand, went in an alarming new direction. Kids determining whom their father is going to date and perhaps ultimately take to the marital bed? Do we really want children wielding this kind of power? Isn’t it enough that they already control all the televisions? W hat I can’t get enough of suddenly is televised poker. A recent cathode development, it provided the viewing highlight of my summer. If you haven’t caught this yet, you owe it to yourself to have a look. High-stakes tournaments are now broadcast regularly on ESPN, which makes sense, and The Travel Channel, which I’m not sure I understand. Either way, what’s not to like about a show in which mostly older, out-of-shape guys sit around chewing on cigars, rearranging stacks of chips and cogitating? In which some of the superstars make Dick Cheney look like Lance Armstrong, and many have names like Devilfish, The Dragon and Amarillo Slim? Generally considered the best ever to play the game, Doyle Brunson is a 70-year-old Texan who hobbles around on crutches and, according to ESPN’s “World Series of Poker” Web site, is “still in his prime.” Now this is a sport I can get behind. t

♦ *r A * *

Did you notice? Over the summer our old friend the miracle ab builder returned to the:-air waves. A couple of years ago, you may recall, infomercials ran night and day for various brands of abdominal belts promising to transform your beer belly into a perfect six-pack by shooting elec trical pulses into your stomach muscles while you sat around not exercising. I did a little research and reported in this column that the technology — along with the claims made in the ads — was a lot of hooey. Sure enough, within a matter of months the scam police had shut down every one of the belt makers. Well, some people simply will not be deterred from their quest to fulfill the American dream of effort-free exercise. Now playing all over the dial and around the clock are familiar-looking infomer cials for a contraption called the Abswing. Essen tially a rocking chair disguised as a piece of work out equipment, the device is every bit as dubious as its predecessor. The ads are strikingly similar to the banned spots, too. You see “before” and “after” shots of abdomens, but no faces. Perhaps that’s because, once again, they belong to different peo ple. Testimonials from satisfied customers promise that you “can sit and use it at home while watch ing TV.” Makers of the belts guaranteed results from just 10 to 15 minutes of use per day. The geniuses behind the Abswing have whittled the time down to just five minutes. Now that’s progress. Pretty soon all you’ll have to do to lose weight and enjoy a lean new look is write the check for the damn thing. One of the funniest parts of these spots is the disclaimer that appears beneath every testimonial. Newly svelte folks in bathing suits announce the number of pounds and inches they’ve lost, but under each success story can be found the tiny words: “Unique results. Your results will vary.” In other words, “Don’t get your hopes up. If this works, it’ll be a fluke.” You may want to call today. Something tells me this will prove to be a limited time offer. Over the summer, too, th e country continued on its dumbward path. If you doubt that for a minute, you didn’t catch any coverage of the California Recall circus. See how they run. I don’t even want to talk about it.

News continued to cede ground to entertain ment. By the 18th of last'month, for example,The “top stories” on “Good Morning America” included the weekend’s box-office grosses as well as the announcement that Freddy vs. Jason was the coun try’s number-one film. This sort of thing is bound to happen, I suppose, when movie studios start buying up networks, as Disney has done with ABC. The frightening thing is, American programming is apparently contagious: On CTV the other day I saw an ad for the fall premiere of “Canadian Idol.” Depending on your age, you may remember a time when Americans tended to frown on the paparazzi. It was generally considered boorish, for example, when the photographer Ron Galella made life miserable for Jackie Onassis, stalking her relentlessly over a period of years. Younger readers may find it hard to believe that a judge eventually slapped the tabloid shutterbug with a restraining order. If Galella were around today, on the other hand, he might have his own TV show. Or at least be part of the action on AMC’s new series, “The Hollywood Hunt Club” (Mondays at 10 p.m.). That’s right. American society has become so obsessed with entertainment culture and celebrity that the stalkers are now the good guys. “They’re the big-game hunters of the world of entertain ment,” reads the network’s press literature. “Each episode... is part detective story/part safari as reallife paparazzi... chase down and hopefully capture the stars in their natural habitat.” I watched the debut episode, in which a trio of photographers hunted Winona Ryder, J. Lo and the cast of “Friends.” The latter had assembled in a remote hideaway for the wedding of Matt LeBlanc, and I have to say none of them were game. It takes a lot to make me feel sorry for attractive, young multimillionaires, but this show managed. Repul sive stuff. Highly recommended, though, for con noisseurs of this cultural milepost. And so went summer. It’s awfully quiet around here all of a sudden. Almost too quiet. I sort of miss all the hubbub. Maybe I’ll just put of Spongebob on in the background for a little while. There, that’s better. Except, you know, for the fact that my head just swelled to the size of a medicine ball, the ringing in my ears is blotting out all other sound, and the entire universe seems to be vibrat ing out of control. Where are those Abswing com mercials when you really need one? ®

shocked by the latest version of Howard Dean as the fiery antiwar orator who’s taking on Bush and the right wing, Indeed, some in the right wing are waking up, too. The other day, National Review columnist Larry Kudlow called on the Bushies to quickly launch an allout counterattack on the upstart Vermonter before its too late. Declaring Dean the almostassured winner of the Democratic presidential nomination, Kudlow warned, “Howard Deans leftwing uprising should be squelch ed before it gains any currency in the public mind. Standing above the fray is no way to do it. Neither are caustic putdowns. The Bushies must dig in now. They’ve got to pull out some seri ous policy analysis and some long knives — before this Dean thing gets out of hand.” Before things get out of hand, eh? The early indications, from both national and local Republican party operatives, is that the Bushies will do their damnedest to label Howard Dean a tax-and-spend ultraliberal leftwing extremist. Last week, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot sent out a fundraising email accusing Dean of comparing Dubya to the Taliban, of calling Mr. Bush “reckless” and “despicable” and of stating Bush might suspend the 2004 d ec aff. Dean spokesman Trish Enright said her boss had never compared Dubya to the Taliban and that all the charges were based on taking Dean’s remarks out of context. Locally, Vermont’s Republican National Committeeman Skip Vallee told Seven Days this week that, “Howard Dean is clearly from the left end of the spec trum. He was quite a liberal gov ernor,” insisted Mr. Vallee. Asked for examples that prove Gov. Dean was a left-winger, Gasoline Vallee was able to come up with just two. One was Dean’s signing of the civil-unions bill in 2000 that extended the rights and benefits of marriage to same-sex couples. Apparently supporting equal rights for all citizens, including gay Democrats and gay Republi cans, defines one as a left-winger. That means Dick Cheney’s les bian daughter will be voting for Ho-Ho, right, Skip? Veteran VPR newsman Bob Kinzel gave a prescient predic tion on last weekend’s “Vermont This Week” on Vermont Public Television. Mr. Kinzel forecast a pro-Bush campaign commercial next year that will show two men kissing, with a tag line that reads something like, “Is this what you want for America?” The Skipster’s second example of Ho-Ho’s left-wingedness was what he called Dean’s attempt to “drive every private insurance car rier out of Vermont.” Actually, Dr. Dean was proud to kick sleazy health-insurance companies out of Vermont. They were the cherry pickers who only insure the young and healthy.

The ones that cancel your policy should you ever have the misfor tune of actually using it. Good riddance to them! Contrary to the Republican spin, the myth of Dean’s liberal leanings was thoroughly debunk ed in an August 29 article in Counterpunch (www.counterpunch.org), a genuine left-wing publication. “Howard Dean: the Progres sive Anti-war Candidate?” was written by three left-wing Burlingtonians: Donna Bister, / Marc Estrin and Ron Jacobs. They’re the “editorial collective” of the Old North End Rag. The trio debunked Ho-Ho’s liberal reputation from every pos sible angle, even including an old quote from this column in which we highlighted Ho-Ho’s liberal views on funding the publicdefender program: “Remember, Dean’s the guy who once said 95 percent of people charged with crimes are guilty anyway, so why should the state spend money on providing them with lawyers?” Yep. That’s the old Howard Dean we all knew so well. The new Howard Dean has evidendy progressed a bit, eh? The fact is that, contrary to the spin from Marc Racicot and Gasoline Vallee (who just opened his newest Maplefields Mobil mini-mart in Colchester), Howard Dean was not in any way, shape or form a liberal gover nor. #ut just like Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction sur rounding Baghdad and North Vietnam’s attacking gunboats in the Tonkin Gulf, lies have legs. Governor's Race — As every body, including Gov. Jim r, Douglas, knows, his reelection in 2004 is not a given. That’s because of recent overtures between members of the Vermont Democrat Party and members of the Vermont Progressive Party. Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle has led the way, as he happily bears the endorsements of both political parties. He’s also pointed towards a showdown with Jimmy D. “I don’t think,” said Skip Vallee, “that in the end the Democrats will cede control of their party to Clavelle and the Progressives.” Mr. Vallee also dismisses the suggestion that having Howard Dean on the presidential ticket will bring every breathing Democratic voter out of the woodwork. “I think Vermonters are won derful tjeket-splitters,” said Gasoline. “If Howard’s on the ticket it will be relatively unim portant in terms of how voters look at the governor’s race.” Informed of Vallee’s remarks, Mayor Moonie told Seven Days that he found it “very interesting” that Skip was “emerging as a strategist for the Democratic Party.” * “Many Democrats and Progressives,” said Clavelle, “are searching for common ground. I understand it makes the Repub licans very nervous. Obviously, Skip will do his very best to nee-

die the Democrats.” P.S. Unfortunately, yours truly missed last weeks Republican Party fundraiser at Vermont National Golf Club in South Burlington. Former Bush mouth piece Ari Fleischer was the headliner. Gasoline Vallee of the RNC reports all went smoothly. He says the GOP scooped up $100,000 in cash at $1500 a pop, and he expects to “chase down” another $25,000 before reporting the final tally. And, Skip told us, two-time gubernatorial loser-turned-TVreporter Ruth Dwyer attended, not as a reporter but as a contrib utor and respected Vermont Republican Party leader. Incidentally, though Ruth has n’t done one of her “Hard Look” specials on WVNY-TV in almost four months, her mug is still on the stations Web site. Ruthless Ruth’s reporting style mirrored that of Fox News: unfair and unbalanced. No one will ever be able to take away the Dwyer’s claim to political fame — Ruth got beat by Howard Dean, not once but twice. Not even George W. Bush will ever be able to say that! More Skip!!! — I’m telling you, the dude with the mini-mart chain is one heck of a talker. Don’t think for a second that Vermont’s leading Republican fundraiser/operative isn’t having a ball. Take the issue of judges. Speculation abounds eft who the White House will nominate to fill the seat of dear departed Judge Fred Parker. Fred had occupied the traditional Vermont seat on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Fred was a Republican, a Jim Jeffords Republican, which meant he had an independent streak. Normally, the president would turn to the state’s senior congressperson of his party for guidance in filling the vacancy. But as every one knows, the Vermont congres sional delegation does not include a member of Dubya’s party. Our trifecta is composed of Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy and Inde pendents Jim Jeffords and Bemie Sanders. According to Mr. Vallee, due to the lack of a Republican congressperson from Vermont, President Bush will seek counsel from Republican Gov. Jim Douglas and the three RNC members from Vermont — Vallee, Sara Boyd Gear and state party chair Jim Barnett. That appears to leave St. Patrick, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee and an accomplished judge of judges, completely out in the cold. Leahy spokesman Luke Albee tells Seven Days the sena tor is “reaching out” to the Douglas administration. Cool Hand Luke says he’s hoping there will be a “tripartisan process to ensure that a qualified Vermonter is chosen” by the Bush White House. Fat chance of that, eh? ®

aylight streaks the morning sky as employ ees all across Vermont are making their way to work. For many of them, their jobs are more than just a days wage or even the fulfillment of years of training, school ing and career ambition. They represent STORY monthly mortgage payments, buffers KEN against spiraling health costs, long-term PICARD investments in a child’s college education and the promise of a comfortable retire IMAGES ment. In a word, security. But as in so JORDAN many aspects of 21st-century America, SILVERMAN security has become a disappearing com modity in the current labor market. « In Burlington, Anthony Scampoli, branch manager of Labor Ready, drags a wooden sign out to the sidewalk advertis ing day jobs for anyone willing to work. It’s barely 5 a.m., but already the'sign

seems superfluous as a steady flow of peo ple — mostly men — enters the brick storefront in the Old North End. A dozen-odd people, work vouchers in hand, wait patiently in the lobby for Scampoli to call out their names with a job offer for the day. It’s a take-it-or-leave-it scenario. By 7 a.m. nearly all of them will be gone to job sites as near as downtown Burling ton or as far as St. Johnsbury or Hogansburg, New York. For a growing number of Americans, the traditional work arrangement of steady hours, predictable paychecks, vacation and sick time and long-term benefits is being replaced by something more transient. Temp work, seasonal help or “independ ent contracts” — the term staffing agen cies prefer — is contingent labor, meaning

that your job is contingent upon there being work to do. If there’s no work today, come back tomorrow. Nationally, nearly three in 10 workers are now employed in non-standard labor, and the percentage has been creeping upwards since the early 1990s. Contingent labor is not a hew phenom enon, but it’s become the signature of the global economy. O f the three million jobs lost since the latest recession began, at least one million disappeared since the recession “officially” ended. As employers remain skittish about $(ie curreff^economic recov ery, they’re reluctant to commit to hiring full-time staff. So at virtually every level of the workforce — from unskilled laborers to highly trained professionals — the trend is toward hiring temporary workers. That means more and more Americans face the prospects of lower wages, less job security, fewer benefits and little or no bargaining power with their employers.

At th e Burlington branch of Labor Ready, business is brisk. The nation’s largest employer of temporary manual labor opened here in September 2000. Vermont was the last state in the country to open a Labor Ready office and within months, Scampoli boasts, his branch ranked number one in the nation for sales growth. At least some of the permanent jobs lost in Vermont’s manufacturing sector are now filled by temp laborers, though no one can say for sure how many. The jobs at Labor Ready are mostly entry-level. “You name it, we do it all,” Scampoli says. “Factory, dishwashing, pickand-pack... It’s a great concept. We get people from all walks of life and give them jobs. We get college kids coming in, parttimers looking to augment their pay. I’ve even had a few IBMers come in.” A quick survey of the morning crowd confirms its diversity. An 18-year-old Brooklyn man living in Burlington for the summer says he’s just looking for a few weeks of work. A 35-year-old woman from South Burlington who has been coming to Labor Ready for three months says she likes the freedom — and having cash in her pocket every night. Forty-seven-yearold Antonio Vasquez has been searching formionths for a permanent job. He comes in just to make ends meet. “It’s an oppor tunity, know what I mean?” Vasquez says. “You don’t have to be out there panhan dling.” »

As the morning rush subsides, Scampoli takes a break to explain why a growing number of Ver mont employers are turning to temporary labor. “If they need guys, its like a water faucet,” Scam poli says. “When you don’t want ’em, you shut it off.” That faucet doesn’t just control the flow of entry-level workers. Consider, for example, the 500 jobs eliminated last month at IBM, a compa ny once revered as a lifetime employer. Some have interpreted the cutback as a sign that high-tech jobs are in decline in Vermont. But those layoffs also represent a shifting attitude by employers away from the traditional labor model. Chris Johnson is director of Technical Connec tion, a “boutique” staffing firm for highly skilled professionals, particularly those in the computer and engineering sectors. Johnson says he’s seeing a resurgence in computer jobs; his payroll literally doubled in the last two months alone. “We’re quite optimistic going forward,” says Johnson, whose wage and hour figures are collected by the Federal Reserve as a barometer o f long-term job growth. By most measures, the people Johnson serves are at the opposite end of the employment spec trum from the folks waiting for dishwashing jobs at Labor Ready. Technical Connection clients are highly skilled and well educated, and earn any where from $12 to $70 an hour. Many qualify for insurance benefits, sick time, vacation days and

As con tin gen t labor becom es a more accept able modus operandi in the private sector, it’s begun encroaching upon the public sector as well. “The trend is that many states are developing poli cies to sign agreements with temp agencies,” says Tim Costello, a labor expert with the North American Alliance For Fair Employment in Boston, which tracks labor trends. “As a way to control the head count in government, a lot of times they’ll short-staff departments and then use temps to fill in. And, of course, that shows up [in their budget] as a cut in staffing, which they like.” Those jobs, which once were largely clerical and * day-laborer types, have expanded into a broad range of civil-service duties, including sophisticat ed consulting jobs, information technology work and so on, Costello adds. To a certain extent, Vermont has managed to buck this national trend. In the last three years, fewer state jobs were filled by contingent or con tracted labor. In large part, that’s due to efforts by the Vermont State Employees’ Association. Representing 5500 state workers, VSEA is Vermont’s largest union. Several years ago the organization successfully lobbied to restrict the number of hours a temp can work for the state in a single year. And in 1998, VSEA pushed the Legislature to restrict the number of “personal service contracts” awarded to independent con tractors, which at the time were costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars.

retirement plans. And Johnson claims that, nine times out 10, the positions his firm provides lead to direct, full-time employment. “We find the word ‘temporary’ to be offensive and demeaning to our employees. That’s our philosophy,” says Johnson. “We consider them professional contrac tors who are in transition.” Nevertheless, these jobs are still contingent labor, subject to the whims of employers. And like many of the manufacturing jobs in Vermont that were lost in recent years, they too are threatened by the flow of jobs overseas. Johnson says he’s par ticularly troubled about “offshoring” — the prac tice by which large companies such as IBM import high-tech workers from countries like India, train them here and then return those employees and their jobs to their home country. Those workers, dubbed FI-IB employees because of their immi gration status, are paid considerably less than their American counterparts and have little job security. “They’re like indentured servants,” Johnson says. “[The employer] can make unreasonable demands o f these workers because they hold the threat o f revoking their work permission. So if they don’t toe the line, they get shipped home and their H-1B is revoked... The bad thing is that employers like IBM are becoming accustomed to that level of control over their employees. I see that as a very onerous development.”

NOONAN

Still, that trend could quickly reverse if the Douglas administration continues to follow the path of the Bush administration in its push to pri vatize government jobs, claims VSEA director Annie Noonan. “They’re going to cut 36 Department of Employment and Training jobs... So who’s going to help the thousand or so IBM employees between now and February or whenever the next ax falls?” she asks. “The reality is, it won’t be the 36 DET employment service counselors who just got laid off.” Noonan predicts that those employment servic es will eventually be contracted out to a private employment agency where job security, benefits and other civil-service protections simply don’t exist. Noonan and others don’t deny that the state of Vermont will always have to rely on some short term labor, such as independent contractors for construction projects, seasonal workers in the state parks and extra bookkeepers during tax season. But where the private sector leads, the public sec tor often follows. As one manager of a Vermont employment agency put it, “There is a huge untapped market out there for staffing firms in ' government. It’s the wave of the future.” What remains to be seen is what can be done to prevent traditional, full-time jobs from being swept away by the tide. ®

Typically her days are pretty busy: She’s in by seven in the morning and doesn’t stop moving until after three, when her shift ends. “I love the IMAGES work,” says Kingsbury. “Every season you get a different group of people: college JEB students, skiers, tourists.” She admits her job is challenging when the place is WALLACE- packed, but “You just put one foot in front of the other, and everything works BRODEUR out,” she suggests. & O f course, not every customer is a stranger. After almost 20 years, Kingsbury has STEVE gotten to know quite a few people — some by face, others by name. And diners HOGAN recognize her. “I’ve had customers say, ‘It’s so nice to come in, even after years away from Vermont, and find you here,’ and I say, ‘It’s nice to see a familiar face.’” Is there something she’d rather be doing? Kingsbury thinks for a moment before answering, “I just love my job. I wouldn’t want to do anything else.”

Paul Donovan has been working at the main branch of the State Department of Libraries in Montpelier since 1976. In 1983 he became a Law Librarian. Although many of the people who come to the library are, not surprisingly, lawyers, Donovan fields questions from lay folk, and other libraries, on every subject imaginable. “It’s something like an intellectual candy store here,” he says. “I get to scout information, so I can wade into history, philosophy, law, ecology, antiques, writing — all that stuff. It’s always different.” The job has changed somewhat over the years with the advent of online tech nologies, but being a librarian is still about the people. “You have folks who come in occasionally who have been wronged and are searching for legal solutions,” Donovan says. “It calls for a bunch of skills. You do a lot of counseling in this job.” Does he feel he makes a difference? Donovan gives an enthusiastic yes, “But a lot of it is peripheral,” he notes. “When you’re sick, you go to the doctor. If the doctor doesn’t know what’s wrong, he goes to a specialist. If the specialist doesn’t know, he goes to his librarian. If he’s smart.” Anything else he’d rather be doing? “If I had all the time and education? I wouldn’t mind getting into particle physics, or maybe extragalactic astronomy,” Donovan muses. “I’m just fascinated by that stuff.”

Tire Store Manager

Parking Garage Attendant Doug Tyler has been working at the parking garage in Montpelier for the past six years. To describe his job, he refers to the manual: “I process transactions. I collect fees due and settle customer payment issues in a courteous and professional manner. “O f course,” amends T y le ^ I had the cour teous and professional manner before I got the job.” He says the parking garage has been a good place to work. “You get to meet people, and its not like I’m stuck in a shed, or a factory,” Tyler says. “It’s pretty cool.” Between the morning and afternoon rushes, of course, things can get a litde slow. Tyler tries to stay busy “interacting with customers, walk ing around the facility and making sure people aren’t breaking into cars.” But he admits that down time can be a bit tough. “How do I fight through the lag time? I’m still trying to figure that out. I mean, everyone’s trying to get to the other side, but maybe there isn’t one,” Tyler says philosophically. “Maybe it’s a big can of worms. Who knows?”

“A typical day is hectic, incredibly busy, but I love it. I’m a workaholic,” says Patricia Eastman, who has been collecting keys and getting tires changed with Goss Tire Company in Williston for nearly 27 years. “Every day has its ups and downs, but I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have good people you work with.” Eastman says that sometimes the stress is “mind-boggling — especially the winter and spring rushes, when everyone is hurrying to change the tires on their cars.” A mechanic’s shop seems like a man’s world, but Eastman says being a woman has helped. “A lot of women take care of their vehicles now, and [having a woman manager] makes them feel more comfortable,” she explains. “I have people of both sexes who call and want to talk specifically to me. I give the best advice I can. People respect that.” Eastman admits that her job does consume her life. “You don’t leave it behind in most cases. I don’t live close by, so I have a lot of time to think about my job on my way to work and home.” But she focuses on the perks: “I have a great boss, I work with good people. It’s a great local company.” Would she ever want to do anything else? “I don’t think I could,” Eastman says firmly. “I love my job. I just really love it.”

Psychiatrist Harvey Klein always wanted to be a psychiatrist when he grew up. “I was strongly influenced by forces in my family,” he says. “My father was an M.D. — a general practitioner — and the idea was inculcated in me early on.” Thirty years after he began practicing, Klein’s typical day involves seeing individuals and couples and consulting on medication with his patients and those of other psychotherapists. He doesn’t bring his work home with him as much as he used to. “I’m always on call, so in that way I’ll get calls from clients after hours,” he says, “but I’ve been getting better about leav ing work at work. “I like most when I am able to make a meaningful connection in a way that has meaning for them and me. I think that’s informative for both of us,” Klein adds. His mentor, Carl Whitaker, first developed the notion that “If the therapist is growing, then chances are pretty good that the client is gaining something as well. It’s not me fixing you. It’s me encountering you, who have the same issues in your life that I have in mine, and we figure out together how to be more human.” Is there anything that he’d rather do? “If I had the skills,” he admits, “I’d play the violin. I play, but [I’d do it] more seriously than I do. I find I learn things about myself when playing the violin, just as I do in my activity as a psychiatrist. They don’t call it ‘practice’ for nothing.”

bly been a poet “officially” since the early ’60s when he was living in New York. “It doesn’t matter, though, what the subject, genre, style, approach,” Budbill adds. “I’m trying to move people to feel things in their life. I have certain religious or political commitments to the neg lected, or forgotten people. But I’m trying to make people feel more intently.” W hat does Budbill love most about his vocation? “My independence,” he says without hesitation. “I’m a hard worker, but my time is my own. I get up and do whatever I want to do. So for instance, I’m loading the woodshed for the winter right now.” O f course, the lack of pay is frustrating. “I’m 63 and I struggle to make $16,000 a year, while all my friends are retiring,” Budbill admits. “I see people — lawyers, doctors, less experienced — making pots of money.” Yet he wouldn’t trade his flexible life for anything. “Do anything else? I can’t imagine. I’m doing what I want to be doing,” he insists. “I don’t want to be a tugboat captain.”

College President John McCardell became Acting President of Middlebury in late 1991 when his predecessor suddenly stepped down — [the same season Lt. Governor Howard Dean suddenly rfook the helm. “Unlike Howard Dean,” jokes McCardell, “I have no designs on higher office.” No day is typical for a college president, although there are a few regularities for McCardell. In the fall he teaches an American History course one evening a week — not a requirement, but he thinks it’s important. “We are, after all, primarily in the education busi ness,” he suggests. Much of his time is spent in meetings with the provost, alumni or business leaders. “Whoever said being a college presi dent is like being a mayor said it best,” McCardell explains. “It’s a very public posi tion. But no question, what makes work at a place like this interesting and challenging and pleasant is the people.” Is this what McCardell wanted to be when he grew up? “When I was 4, did I say I wanted to be a college president? My goodness, no,” he laughs. “I was trained as a historian. It never dawned on me that I’d be doing some thing like this. I can’t claim to have figured everything out, but I think my on-the-job training has been pretty successful. I enjoy my job thoroughly.” Is there anything else he’d rather be doing? McCardell pauses before answering. “I’d love to be able to play a musical instrument,” he muses. “I’d love to be better at a foreign language. I wish I were a better athlete. I’m none of these things, but if I had world enough, and time.

Coffee Roaster P e r f o r m i n g p re v ie w

If you’ve purchased coffee at Capitol Grounds in Montpelier anytime over the last six years, there’s a good chance that Parad Meier roasted your beans. Though she says learning to roast doesn’t take much training, she’s taken it upon herself to master the caffeinated cuisine. “I went to Idaho, where our roaster is made, and took a three-day workshop,” she says, ticking off other seminars in Miami and Boston. Why all the study? “The more you know, the more interesting it is,” she says.

SEVEN DAYS

Meier puts her knowledge of the perfect bean to use in other ways. Supported by Capitol Grounds, she’s volunteered to teach women, coffee growers and exporters in Honduras about the coffee industry in America. Helping growers see the value in organic coffees and exporters see the need for Fair Trade coffee has been rewarding. “There’s a lot of potential to teach, but it’s not what the average roaster does,” Meier confirms. W ith all that information, what are her favorite beans? “There’s Sumatran, lots of Central and South American,” Meier reports, “but the African coffees are the best, as far as I’m concerned.” u,

Judge Marilyn Skoglund has been a Vermont Supreme Court justice for the past six years. The position, which is appointed by the gover nor and must be confirmed by the Senate, is only given to five judges in the state. “Three days a month we sit to hear cases,” Skoglund explains. “One day a month, we hear expedited cases — ones that generally won’t make new laws, or only involve easily resolved, single issues. The rest of the time I’m reading briefs, writing decisions and researching cases.” iBfe&JWheii s h ^ A d t eh* tfe&jbb, she tfiftik* about it constandy, she says. “I can be garden ing and I’m still thinking about the cases.” Her favorite part? “It’s so interesting to watch the process of the law being applied to the lives of real folks.” ■ Although Skoglund admits that she wanted to be an archaeologist when she grew up, she seems pretty glad there weren’t any jobs avail able in that field. “The legislature just changed the retirement age to 90. Now, I frankly don’t want to be alive at 90,” she says with a laugh. “But I want to keep doing this job, because I’m loving every minute of it.”

Pastor/Family Center Director Self-described fladander David Connor has been working at both the Lamoille Family Center and the Old Meeting House in East Montpelier ever since he moved here from New York in the mid-’90s. In his job at the Family Center, Connor oversees programs that serve teenagers who are pregnant or parenting or in crises like homelesness and addiction. In his role as a pastor, Connor also does counsel ing, as well as attending to church services and organizing youth activities. “The work I’ve done, no matter where, is one version of the impulse to try to empower and serve people,” says Connor. “I’ve [always] wanted to be someone who was able to make a difference in people’s lives.” This can be chal lenging. “There are limited resources. It can be difficult,” he admits. “Education and human services are only as good, in a way, as the econ omy that’s willing to be involved in them.” Still, Connor finds satisfaction at the end of the day. “When you realize how much poten tial there is to make a difference, you can find hope in the midst of what looks pretty disas trous,” he says. “You think that you’ve got some message to inspire these young, pregnant [or] parenting teens, but you find that they keep inspiring you. They have two and a half strikes against them, and they’re still hanging in there. They’re my heroes.” ®

R STORY

SARAH TUFF IMAGES

MATTHEW THORSEN

oy Haynes called it quits 10 years ago, when he saw his father get laid off after three decades of labor. He hasn’t worked “a real job” since. But Haynes is not exactly retired. The fiftysomething Huntington resident has a full-pme gig as the tycoon of tightwads, cutting corners every way he can. The “Cheapest Man in America” — a tide he’s earned from the tabloids — Haynes has appeared on dozens of talk shows and in publi cations from the Washington Post to Giant Robot magazine. He’s encouraged others to “Roy-cycle,” to resist “the call of the mall” and to cure themselves of “affluenza.” ; • Because of his penny-pinching ways, Haynes and his wife Lisa live on a fraction of the amount most working families require. Instead of a briefcase, he carries a metal crate and gloves, for dumpster diving. While others pay up at the pump, he fuels his car with free gas, which a local store gives him in return for the errands he runs. He’s insulated one wall of his home with Styrofoam packing peanuts. And he collects, for five cents apiece, thousands of botdes and cans — a trash-for-cash approach thaf earned him the 1998 yermont Governor’s! Award for Environ mental Excellence in Pollution Prevention. • ■ v ' • V V— Haynes forgoes golf, kids and other expensive pastimes. His hobbies are volunteering and saving pets with Lisa — who also does not have a job. For their animal rescue work, the couple formed a nonprofit that allows them deep discounts on pet food and vet bills for their own six dogs. Recently, before trolling for free samples at Shaw’s Supermarket, Haynes sat down with Seven Days to talk trash.

SEVEN DAYS: When did you first start fin din g ways to save money? ROY HAYNES: I grew up poor in a city housing project in Brooklyn. I was the first person in my family ever to own a car. At a young age, I worked all the time, I had two jobs, and I hated ’em. One

of them was at the Coca-Cola bottling plant — this is July and August — steam-cleaning bottles as they came off the conveyor belt. No air conditioning. The next summer I was actually a gravedigger. From those points on, I got a bad taste about work and realized that, without a college degree or any real skill in trade, New York was a very expensive place to live. Both of my folks died when I was young, so I had to be self-sufficient, earn my own living; I did n’t get any inheritance. I started to clip coupons and collect soda bottles, just do little things to get an edge when I was still working. As I got a little older, I just started doing it more to the extreme. It’s kind of become a way of life for me, being resourceful and inventing ways to save money. SD: How did you come to live in Vermont? RH: In 1980, I moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sold almost all my possessions in New York, and a friend was driving down on vacation so I went with him in his car, with about $1500 in my pocket. I rented a little efficiency apartment and worked two jobs part-time — as a moving man, which worked very well, because people would leave behind furni ture and I’d take that home and sell it on the side and make extra money. I was also working security. I had this uniform shirt, one of those real official-looking ones with the epaulets and military crease, and I had a stain on the pocket and a rip under the arm. So I took it to the cleaners to get it fixed and they wanted like $8 or $9. I wasn’t going to spend that. So here’s what I devised to do — and to this day I think it’s one of my best ever: I donated the shirt to the Salvation Army, they fixed it up, took the stain out and put it on the rack. And I bought it back for $ 1 two days later. SD: So how long did you stay in Fort Lauderdale? RH: Fourteen years; we moved here in ’94. We

bought a place in Florida, thought it was going to be our dream house, nice little retirement commu nity and, you know, we changed. I was getting stressed out with crime and traffic and everything. We sold the house, made a little money out of it. We’d been up here a few times, because Lisa’s a col lege graduate from the University of Miami, and she had a job that used to send her on travels to different states... So we rented a place in Hinesburg. A few months later, we bought our home in Huntington. SD: What types o f bills do you have? RH: We pay utilities. We don’t have cable; we just have two local TV channels. Whenever I leave the house I pull out all the electrical appliances, because even in the off position the juice still flows. We have a phone, but we don’t have a long-distance carrier; I try to call collect when I can. We mostly heat with a wood stove. I helped a neighbor clear some trees off his land and got some wood — I get it every winter. The house is more like a cabin, with a big, open room. We pay taxes, car insurance — can’t avoid it. SD: How were you first recognized by th e media? RH: (Laughs.) We were in Florida and one of the tabloids ran a contest that said, “Nominate a Tightwad.” Lisa said, “This is you!” And we wrote in, just told them a few things I’d been doing on a daily basis. Such as hanging out paper towels to dry. And my toilet paper, which I buy two-ply [and] I separate it. So for the same price you get two rolls out of one! They thought it was humor ous, I won the contest, they sent a camera crew, and we had our picture in the paper. We had some fun and didn’t think anything more of it. Well, a few weeks later, I got a call from the producers of the Joan Rivers show... I was pret ty nervous, ’cause I’d never been on TV before. But apparently it went pretty well, because we got home

But “Someone else won my $100,” a published writer. This is a true story. Better, it’s a story she reports, and the sting of rejection was such that she put of success against the odds. down her pen and didn’t pick it up again for a decade.

Lamda Awards - hard way, after receiving multitudes of “those horrific, slapare given annually by the Lamda Literary Foundation, in-the-face ‘Dear Author’ rejections.” No one was more sur “the only national organization dedicated to the recogniprised than Shimko herself — “stunned” is the word she tiorr and promotion of gay and lesbian literature,” accord uses — when she heard her name called at this years Lamda ing to its promo.

But it takes more than This is heavy company for Bonnie Shimko, who “acceptance” and adjustment to the facts to write a book describes herself as “old and a little shopworn,” and demurs as bright, funny and lovely as this. that she’s “one of the biggest nobodies around.” Her natu Letters in the Attic is the story of Lizzy McMann, an ral diffidence is both sunny and self-effacing. Before her unusually intelligent 12-year-old, who lives with her retirement in 1999 — after spending 33 years teaching mother, a faded piano player, and her father, a shiftless children in Peru, New York, “how to tie their shoes and use jerk, in a run-down motel in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s 1962, during the Kennedy-Camelot years, a point that wouldn’t need mentioning if Lizzy’s mother, Veronica, weren’t so hopelessly romantic and prone to self-delusion. “Mama’s a stickler for good hygiene,” Lizzy explains, “and I have followed her lead... She bought me my own jar of Tussy deodorant, so if my body shifts gear on me in the middle of any given day, I will be prepared. She tells me that any time now I will turn from a little girl into a woman, and when that happens, I will hold an odor if I’m not careful. It’s better to be safe than sorry — that’s her motto. ‘Remember, Lizzy,’ she has told me a thousand times, ‘there is no reason for anybody to go around with an offensive odor in this day and age — soap and water are cheap.’” With that, Shimko’s off, chronicling the unexpected ways in which Lizzy does become a woman, bucking up her mother when her father dumps her for a younger model — “the harlot,” as Lizzy calls her, who “doesn’t hint A U T H O R B O N N I E S H I MK O around about her makeup” and d p ^ J^ ^ p o d jpb.matshfog <

the color of her eyelids to [her] dress...” It’s lines like these that give Letters its kick. Betrayed and abandoned, Lizzy and Veronica head to “Ridgewood,” New York — a stand-in for Plattsburgh — where Veronica grew up and where Lizzy will uncover a host of family, social and sexual secrets. It all works out in the end, but this isn’t your ordinary adolescent fiction; and it isn’t Pollyanna. Lizzy’s wise, quiet, Walton-like grandfather is bal anced by a nasty, bitter, sadistic wife — Veronica’s moth er — whose redemption lies not in the changes she makes for herself but in the understanding others will bring to her. There are teachers, storekeepers, classmates, boyfriends: a whole raft of country, cornball Our Town figures who nevertheless surprise you with their inde pendent bent. And, of course, there’s Eva, the girl next door, who looks like Natalie Wood and becomes the object o f Lizzy’s still shapeless desire, “a riddle without any clues.” W ith luck, being gay won’t show on her face. “This is when you have to believe that there are cer tain directions set out for just you to follow, like in a dress pattern,” Lizzy reflects. “If you ignore them and try to put your life together yourself, you will end up wrong.” O n this, heroine and author might agree. “The day Anita Miller called to say they wanted to publish my book validated me as a writer,” Shimko dis closes. Anita and Jordan Miller are the husband-and-wife brains behind Academy Chicago, the small but prestigious Midwestern publishers who gave Shimko her break. “The thought of people outside my immediate family and circle of friends reading my words was a real thrill. You know how it feels when you’re not expecting something com pletely amazing to happen in your life and it does, so that you go around for the next week smiling inside and out? That’s how it was.” And, for npw, for Shimko, that’s how it is. “I can’t even stress how much fun I’ve been having,” she tells me on the phone. Since she won her award, both her name and her sales have been rising. She’s made the usual round of bookstores, done a lot of her own promotion and is pre pared to “speak to any group that will listen” on gay and lesbian issues. Her daughter’s reception of Letters in the Attic is “the greatest gift” she’s had. Shimko says she tries “to look like somebody who’s smart and clever enough to have written a book worth spending money on.” She’s already started another novel, and admits that most of her ideas still come to her “in the grocery store.” Which leads to her sole piece of advice for aspiring writers: “Well, everybody’s already heard the stuff about join ing a writers’ group,” Shimko says, “not giving up, not letting rejection get you down, and reading as much as you can, so I’ll mention one that’s even more important: Never leave home without a pencil. A paper’s good, too, but a pencil is an absolute necessity.” And while you’re at it, tie your shoes — you don’t want tp r^ip when you’re just getting started. ®

With blurting synths vying for space alongside piano, guitar and plaintive vocals,

P a s t merge jam grooves with deliciously classic space-pop. From scattered drum 'n' bass beats to Pink Floyd-esque stoner

RYAN POWER, MAKING FRIENDS OUT OF STRANGERS

Where Ryan Power focused mainly on hushed acoustic guitar work and vocals, the new recording is a much poppier affair. Adding chiming six-strings and drums, the tracks have a decidedly "band" feel.

EXHIBIT "Featured Artists' Exhibition": Judith Carbine, Joan Curtis, Harry Dayton, Michael Egan and Veontha White. Chaffee Art Center, Rutland. Through September 28.

A R TW O R K ~ "Sculpture Garden," by Joan Curtis PH O TO

Marc Awodey

ne of the five artists featured at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland this month was unable to attend the open ing: Painter Veontha White (19172003) passed away before the show was installed. This months “Featured Artists Exhibition” at the Chaffee is dedicated to her. This strong, diverse presentation is divided into five sec tions; it really seems more like five one-person shows than one group show featuring five people. In addition to W hite’s works are oil landscapes by Judith Carbine, mixed-media works by Joan Curtis, watercolors by Harry Dayton and glasswork by Michael Egan. Carbine’s 11 pieces are thoroughly traditional both in style and in execu tion. “Hillside Town, Proctor” is a wooded vista rendered in somewhat dull hues — its pale blues and browns are closely related to those of Barbizon School landscapist Corot. Carbine does not rely on dramatic extremes of value to give her paintings punch, favoring instead finely tuned degrees of shifting tonality. “Long Island Landscape” is a grassy beach scene with the light of an overcast day, though Carbines aerial perspective is rather crisp. A dark ridge of distant hills, rather than layers of murky mist, gives the piece depth.

By contrast, Curtis’ works are chock-full of whimsicality. The “Yggdrasil,” the Tree of Life from Norse mythology, is. a recurring theme in her multidimensional drawings. Like a diorama, “Tree House #7” has two layers of leafy pencil drawings framing its central locus, a large tree. The tree has several rooms containing figures and furniture, and the sky behind it is vibrant. Curtis presents four sculptures in addition to the dimensional drawings. “Sculpture Garden” resembles a Dr. Seuss landscape; its colors include iri descent orange, red and green. Dayton is an accomplished water colorist, but he also has one heck of a nice acrylic cityscape on display, enti tled “Sunday Morning.” It’s a small town, Main Street type of scene with brilliantly controlled light and beauti fully handled passages of scumbling and glazing. Dayton’s watercolors are tamer and tighter in comparison. “Damariscotta River” has a fairly predictable aggrega tion of sailboats, seagulls, blue sky and blue water. A little gouache would help the artist vary the intensity of his watercolors. That idea is probably sac rilege to a true watercolorist, but it would be nice if all Dayton’s pieces had the same vibrancy ^ die painting A

“Sunday Morning,” regardless of medium. Egan’s glass pieces are in a class by themselves in this show. “Fused Bowl” is a large platter with crenellated edges and crisscrossing bands made up of black, white and red stripes. “Santa Fe Compote” includes a won derful faience blue in addition to the black, red and white motifs. Swirls and dots have also been worked into the design. White’s 16 paintings are some of the most traditional in this show. They are warm and homey, the kind of works that might win a prize at the Vermont State Fair. The bright and intimate “Garden Patch” shows a pathway surrounded by a flower gar den. The path leads toward a red shed with an open door. The scene is ten derly described with rose madder, viridian and dabs of cerulean blue. In “Finel Hollow” a snowy farm scene is rendered with marvelously varied brush strokes, values and visual textures. Tufts of grass poke up through the snow, the sky is icy, and White’s red barn is believably run down. She was a very fine painter indeed. Whoever first said “The show must go on” would surely approve of the Chaffee’s decision to show White’s work posthumously. ®

D ir t y P r e t t y T h i n g s

s TH E SUM O F ALL FREARS

The director's latest echoes many of the most provoca tive them es in his earlier work.

tephen Frears will never direct: a film about a comic-book superhero; an up tempo musical; a movie based on a classic TV comedy; a lucrative Hollywood franchise; Eddie Murphy, Ben Affleck, Tara Reid, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston or Governor Arnold. 1 am quite sure about this, because I have been a fan of his films since he hit it big — by art-house standards, anyway — with 1985 s My Beautiful Laundrette. Like most people, I thoroughly enjoyed his adaptations of Dangerous Liaisons (1989) and The Grifiers (1990). Unlike the majority of movie goers, I even loved 1996 s Mary Reilly. Over nearly two decades, certain things about Frears and his work have become evident. He is, for example, consumed by the human capacity for seediness, sordidness and just plain evil. Picture after picture is informed by his fascina tion with manipulation and deceit. He is the anti-Capra in that he may have sympathy for the fly but his interest has been largely in the spider. In scale and milieu, Dirty Pretty Things has more in common with Frears’ earliest output than with any thing the director did during his brief Hollywood heyday. It’s set in modernday London and offers a frills-free meditation on the many faces of oppression. Chiwetel Ejiofor turns in

an elegant, understated performance in the role of a Nigerian immigrant who works days as a cabdriver and nights as a hotel clerk, and chews the leaves of an unidentified plant to mask the need for sleep. One night he is summoned to an unoccupied room to look into a vague report of a problem. There he finds a toilet overflowing, fashions a hanger into an instrument to dislodge the obstruction, and pulls out a human heart. He feels strongly compelled to report to the police but does not, due to the fact that he is in the country illegally. As we soon learn, he is a man of many secrets. In her first English-speaking role, Audrey Tautou costars as a Turkishborn young woman who works in the same hotel as a chambermaid and lets Ejiofor use a couch in her small flat, where he theoretically sleeps. When immigration authorities catch wind of the fact that she’s holding down a job — a violation for someone with her status — she’s forced to go into hiding and seek work in a garment industry sweatshop. To make matters worse, her boss there learns of her predicament and uses the knowledge to blackmail her into sexual servitude. The Spanish actor Sergi Lopez is at the center, pulling strings behind the scenes as a smooth operator who runs

not only the hotel but also a variety of under-the-table side enterprises involv ing everything from cash-only latenight room service to forged passports. Early on, he appears harmless enough, merely a colorful character and scam artist. As events unfold and circum stances grow increasingly desperate for the other principals, however, it becomes clear he has long ago sold his soul and would be only too happy to take a commission on the sale of some one else’s. O r any other part of them, for that matter. Frears’ vision here is bleak: As soon as his edge-dwellers shed one set of chains they find themselves bound by another. Some of these chains are insti tutional; others are social, economic or psychological. Others still are matters of the heart, the organ so emblemati cally at the center of Frears’ story. In a world where real freedom is not possi ble, the director seems to say, the best one can hope for is human bondage. When all is said and done, Ejiofor and Tautou do indeed find themselves thus bound. In love but with obliga tions on opposite sides of the Earth, the two may go their separate ways but, because they go to do the bidding of their hearts, the ending is a happy one. As happy, at any rate, as a charac ter can expect to be at the end of a film by Stephen Frears. ®

Tautou. (R) FINDING N E M O * * * * They've told us tales about toys, bugs and monsters. This time the folks at Disney/Pixar have a fish story for us. Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres and Willem Dafoe do the talking in the CGI saga of two fish — a father and son — who are separated in the Great Barrier Reef and risk everything to be reunited. Andrew Stanton directs. (G) FREAKY F R ID A Y * * 1" Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are paired in this update of the Disney comedy about a mother and daughter at odds until a twist of fate ‘ results in the two waking up in each other's bodies — and eventually gaining a new respect for one another's point of view. Mark Harmon costars. Mark Waters directs. (PG) FREDDY VS. JA SO N *1" Just when you were sure every last cent had been milked out of these guys, Robert Englund and James Callahan are paired for this gore-athon about a face-off between two of recent hor ror's most prominent baddies. Ronny Yu directs. (PG- ) THE ITALIAN J O B * * * Mark Wahlberg plays a master thief in this action adventure from F.

DUDE (LOOKS LIKE A LADY) The Stowe Theatre Guild may be a community-based troupe, but that doesn't mean they only stick to sugar-sweet clas sics. Their current production, Victor Victoria, is a gender bending comedy that tackles homosexuality head on. Underhill actress Kristen Bures stars as Victoria, a British soprano who pretends to be a gay, aristocratic, Polish man — Count Victor Grazinksy — in order to land a job as a cross dressing nightclub singer. If that's not confusing enough, ensemble characters switch roles, genders and sexual orien tations, playing patrons in a gay bar in one scene and Chicago Mafia thugs in the next. Raucous musical numbers like "Paris Makes Me Horny" back the show's message of acceptance. Director George Pierce promises that by the end, "You're going to be tired from laughing." V IC T O R V IC T O R IA ’ Wednesday, Septem ber 3 — Saturday, Septem ber 6 , Town Hall Theatre, Stowe, 8 p.m. $ 1 5 . Info, 2 5 3 -3 9 6 1 .

"The 35-year-old occupation of the Palestinian territories manages to combine almost every ugly form of repression," Reuven Kaminer declared at a Berlin peace demonstration in 2002. This statement has been a battle cry for him and the many people he's influenced through his activism. The Detroit native, who moved to Israel in 1951, has spent more than four decades speaking out against the "provocative policies" of the Israeli government. Kaminer has paid for his beliefs. He was arrested, tried and convicted, but never incarcerated, for maintaining contact with the Palestine Liberation Organization. He also witnessed the deaths of two colleagues in the 2002 bombing at Hebrew University, where he served as Vice Provost. His riveting stories of the struggle for peace in Israel hit home when his national tour stops in Vermont. R E U V E N K A M I N E R Monday, September 8, Vermont College Chapel, Montpelier,

History runs deep in the Green Mountain State. And September is the best month to dig into it. For the 10th year, the Vermont Archaeological Society dedicates 30 days for celebrating the state's ancient past. Bone-diggers share stories of 18th-century cemetery sleuthing. Fossil-finders talk about discoveries at a 4000-year-old Native American camp. And underfwat£r excavators discuss dives to sunken canal boats. Amateur archaeologists can join in the fun by extracting information from an 18th-century French homestead or exploring vanished agricultural and industrial communities in Addison, Bennington and Chittenden Counties. Don't like digging in the dirt? Test your ancient spear-throwing skills at the Northeastern Open Atlatl Championship.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I’m not saying you’re depressed, Aries, nor am I predicting you will be. But you are in an astrological phase when you’re more susceptible than usual to that feeling. Having issued that warning, however, let me add that I think being depressed would actually be very good news. It would mean you’re on the verge of a creative breakdown that will inevitably lead to a liberating break through. To be perfectly candid, I hope you do give yourself the luxury of experiencing deflation.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): The American Journal of Pychiatry says that many people suffer from delusions of “imagined ugliness.” The technical name for the condition is “body dys morphic disorder.” It’s typically charac terized by an obsession with a physical flaw, or even with an imagined flaw. Judging from my experience, 99 per cent of the population has at least a mild version of this pathology. That’s the bad news, Taurus. The good news is that you’re in a perfect astrological phase to break free from its hold. You’re ready to revolutionize your self-image so thoroughly that you will hereafter see yourself as a perfect specimen of idiosyncratic beauty.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): “Ninety-six percent of the cosmos puz zles astronomers. The universe is made mosdy of dark matter and dark energy, which the experts can’t even detect, let alone study.” When I read that news story on the CNN Web site, I let out a whoop of celebration. Our culture’s equivalents of high priests, the scien tists, were flat-out admitting that the subject they know best is mosdy a

mystery to them. I hope, Gemini, that this will give you the freedom to feel at peace with the enigmas at the core of your personal life. Curiously, your courage to “dwell comfortably in the midst of profound uncertainty” (poet John Keats’ phrase) will be the key to you receiving a crucial revelation about where you need to go next.

What if I suggested that you can, beyond any doubt, make your unique dream come true, but that it will take years of hard work, periods of depriva tion and bouts with frustrating confu sion before you succeed? Would you rearrange your priorities in order to pursue that dream with all your inge nuity? Or would you give up on it and go looking for an easier assignment that provided you with more security? During the coming weeks, the time will be ripe to go one way or the other.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Promise me that you will never use astrology as an excuse to avoid taking responsibility for your decisions. Always keep in mind that the planets don’t determine your fate. It’s true, however, that analyzing their positions can help you know when and how to clarify your choices. For instance, my reading of the current omens suggests to me that if you continue to let things slide, if you keep postponing action, you’ll fall under the spell of a funky malaise. If, on the other hand, you bol ster your commitment to what you love, you’ll not only ward off debilita tion — you’ll feel more robust than you have in a long time.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Your risk for getting Alzheimer’s disease diminish es as you smoke more cigarettes. Air pollution keeps your skin youthful by blocking out the sunlight that would age it. Atomic fallout can help prevent dandruff. So does that mean you should puff on two packs a day, hang out in the smoggiest parts of the Earth, and hope for the resumption of hydrogen bomb tests in the atmosphere? O f course not. Likewise, Leo, don’t prop up your bad habits and rationalize nasty influences with ass-backwards theories

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to historian Thomas Fleming, in the early part of his career George Washington was a brilliant spy. “He ran espionage rings in British-held New York and Philadelphia,” says Fleming. “The man who supposedly could not tell a lie was a genius at disinformation.” Later, of course, Washington became the head of

TOUCHSTONE S

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The Museum of Make Believe features artifacts from nursery rhymes, fairy tales and classical literature. Among its treasures are Snow White’s mirror, Jack and Jill’s notorious pail, the baseball mitt from The Catcher in the Rje, and the tools Geppetto used to create his wooden son Pinocchio. I suggest you draw inspiration from this museum in the coming week, Capricorn. The astro logical omens say you will have great success in translating your imaginative ideas into concrete reality.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In recent years, a tradition of guerrilla art has broken out in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Seattle has become the latest beneficiary of the covert movement to beautify America with free sculptures. The Seattle Times reported that one night unknown cre ators swooped down on a cafe in a crime-ridden area, leaving behind a handcrafted table and chairs. On top of the table was a vase filled with flow ers. One seat, a metal trunk that opened, contained vintage playing cards and a game. I hope this whets your appetite for benevolent pranks, Pisces. The best way to align yourself with cosmic law right now is to give unpredictable gifts to as many people as possible, even strangers. ®

18): I fear that you aren’t making your self sufficiently available. The cosmos is in an increasingly generous mood towards you, but you’ve erected psychic barriers that are preventing the fullness of the blessings from reaching you. Here’s an idea for how to shift the ener gy: Wrap two empty boxes in festive paper, ribbons and bows. Place them in a prominent place in your home; on your altar if you have one. Then gaze at these packages meditatively for ten minutes a day, visualizing what gifts you’d like to be inside and rehearsing the feeling of intense gratitude.

SAGITTARIUS (n„v 22-Dec. 21): This would be a good time to conduct a midnight ritual in Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas in the Andes Mountains. Fate will also smile upon you if you under take a pilgrimage of healing to Chartres Cathedral in France, or cir cumnavigate Tibet’s sacred mountain, Mt. Kailash or seek out a Siberian shaman for a week of fasting, praying and soul retrieval. I suggest, however, that you balance these starry-eyed quests with more down-to-earth spiri tual actions. For instance, you might make amends to the person you have treated most unfairly in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

(June 21-July 22): Researchers with too much time on their hands have calculated that William Shakespeare used 20,140 words in his written works. More than 8 percent of those were brand-new terms that he dreamed up. Some of the best: bes mirch, domineering, dwindle, frugal, gnarled, hobnob, lackluster, madcap, pander, sanctimonious, tranquil, gossip and leapfrog. While we can’t expect you to reach Shakespearian levels in the coming week, the astrological omens do suggest you will have more verbal ere- _ ativity than you’ve had in many moons. I suggest you speak the truths your heart has never had words for. Assume that your powers of persuasion will be twice as great as usual, and invent at least 20 new words.

G E T T IN G B E H IN D T H E W H E E L W O R L D

D o n ’t T h at Top All his is a story about a car that’s close to me. N ot my car, mind you, but a car I know quite well, in that The Wife drives a Chevrolet Impala LS as her com pany car. When another Chevrolet Impala LS appeared in the drive for evaluation recendy, it occurred to me that I have certain invaluable life experiences with this particular auto that I most certainly want to share. They are relevant even though The Wife’s Impala is a 2002 model; my tester was a 2003; and 2004s are already hitting the showrooms. The car has changed exceedingly little in this three-year model cycle, except for next year’s debut o f a super charged Impala SS making 240 horsepower and costing $27,993, base price. The Wife’s Impala, on the other hand, is an LS model for about $3000 less. Underhood is G M ’s venerable 3800 Series IIV 6, whose traditional pushrod architecture is good for 200 hp and 225 ft.-lbs. The Impala boasts four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and traction control to tame the occasional chirp from the front-driving wheels. Inside you’ll find standard dual-zone air conditioning, OnStar telecommunica tions, and a reasonably decent AM/FM/cassette sound system to which The Wife added an optional C D player. The point, as should be obvious by now, is that the Impala is a basic modem family sedan. It is vir tually invisible in its ubiquity, and in today’s climate o f SU V mania, the Impala is one o f the proles o f the road. And then a very curious thing happened this summer that has caused me to revise this estima tion. Despite all our best efforts to retard the march o f time and to accelerate our meager fortunes, Number One Daughter marched off to her first year o f college. Rather, she was conveyed there in an Impala LS, with all her worldly possessions and her siblings by her side. You see, we decided to transform The Wife’s company car into a Conestoga Wagon for this par ticular mission o f matriculation. Seating for four

wasn’t a problem, o f course — with an optional front bench seat our Impala can even seat six in a pinch. And the trunk is conveniendy cavernous at 19 cu. ft. But no self-respecting incoming fresh man at Austin, Tex., can manage for an entire school year with a mere one-fourth share o f a 19cu.-ft. trunk. What to do? Well, I’m a backpacker, and what could be more reasonable to a backpacker than packing one’s possessions upon one’s back for an overland trek? Or, in this case, upon one’s roof. A

visit to our local REI outfitters resulted in the pur chase o f a removable roof rack from Thule and an accompanying “Space Cadet” cargo box from Yakima. For less than $ 6 0 0 ,1 had, in effect, stum bled upon a too little publicized alternative to a fullfledged SU V — an alternative that I call the “Don’t that top all” option. Installation was a “no-tools-whatsoever” proce dure, resulting in 15 extra cu. ft. o f Space Cadet attic space available upstairs. That’s when it hit me: For a very competitive price in the middle-$20,000 range, someone looking to seat up to six people, haul up to 34 cu. ft. o f cargo and savor 19 mpg/ City, 29 mpg/Highway fuel economy could do far worse than an Impala with a “Don’t that top all” option. I’d be the last to say that rooftop boxes are a uni versal panacea for calming the SUV mania in our midst. But its remarkable what you can do with them when you understand how versatile they are. Or put another way, it’s remarkable what a thor ough transformation our cargo box effected upon a humble Chevrolet Impala for an important cross country trip. And to top it all off, there happened to be one less SUV on the road for the duration. ®

the love counselor Dear Lola, My girlfriend is a very lovely person and our sex life is lovely as well. I can't help but wonder, however, why she starts laughing whenever she comes. I'm all for good cheer in the bedroom, but this little quirk of hers is starting to disturb me. At best, it interferes with my concentration and softens, if you will, my drive. At worst, it feels insult ing — as if she's laughing at rather than with me — and kills the event altogether. What should I do?

Ferrisburgh Funny Bone Dear Funny, I'm glad you're in favor of good cheer in the bedroom. So am I. And your woman's mirth is more likely an expression of happiness than of, say, derision. Her reaction could also have less to do with psychology than with pure physiology. Laughter is one of the methods the body uses to release excess tension. That's why people tend to laugh at, say, funerals, or when they're experiencing stage fright. If you can learn to expect — and even look forward to — her chuckles, you can start laughing along and double your pleasure.
