REMEMBER THE WOMEN In most of the commemorations of 9/11, the photographs have depicted male firefighters and other officials, and the women who died at the site seemed to have been overlooked. I recommend readers check out Women at Ground Zero, by Susan Hagen and Mary Carouba, with photos by Joyce Benna. It's published by Alpha Books and can be ordered online at www.women@groundzero. com. All profits from the book will be donated to the Greater New York Hospital Foundation EMS Fund, Women in the Fire Service Inc. and Nation Center for Women and Policing. You can also donate to these organizations or the scholarship established in their name by contacting Women at Ground Zero c/o United Way, PO Box 2641, Santa Rosa, CA 95405.

If by horrible misdeeds there is an expanded war, there must be a draft that the rich and powerful can't get out of. They must be put in harm's way, including all the Bush families' children, as are the poor and the middle. — Maureen Kanzley Retired R.N. Burlington

— Nat Michael Underhill

BUSH A DUPE Finally, an article that declares the present resident of the White House as the fascist he is ["Crank Call," August 28]. What better way to express this than to illuminate the connection between corporate support of Hitler and the corporate direction of Bush's every move?... Our president is a dupe and has been led to believe that we all believe as he does, that the good guys are better and will win, and we are the good guys. His rich friends are guiding him to believe in the approval rating he has been given... Well, I called the president's comment line. I expected to say my piece, leave my name and be counted as a dissident to be weighed in as a statistic. Not quite what I got. The president's line was there all right, but the man who was on the other end, after I stated my discord, argued with me and gave me some options that seemed aligned with my thoughts but reflected a supporting philosophy. When I still disagreed and would not acknowledge the truth in his argument or seem to, he hung up on me, not taking my name and surely not including my discord as a statistic...

I believe we do not, in the majority, agree with this president or his guidance councilors. I believe there are many more of our Americans who believe that fair play and freedom equals peaceful actions and not global domination, and we are just starting to speak out... Start shaking the barley with winds of true democracy and take back our country from the corporate coup that began years ago but was enacted publicly on Dec. 12, 2000. — Angus Munro Craftsbury APPRECIATING RICHBOURG Congratulations to Kevin Kelley for his article "Field Studies" [September 4]. He gives a wonderful sense of the way the life and the art converge in Richbourgs work and gives a superb appreciation of the painter's talent. Thanks to Kevin and to Seven Days for giving such superb attention to a wonderful and local artist. — BufF Lindau PR Director Saint Michael's College Colchester

CONSIDER NON-TRADITIONAL CANDIDATES My wishes for the next seven years: (1) Your readers, judging from their fetters on "Inside Track" and on "Crank Call," are politically aware and interested in issues. Political campaigns have degenerated into purchased commercials to create name recognition at the ballot box. No wonder most people, and your editorial policy, are disgusted with politicians and their news releases. Yet, as a truly independent and yet widely circulated medium, Seven Days is in a position to give voice to candidates who take no money from anybody and refuse to buy name recognition, negative ads and attack ads. As just one f'rinstance, The Burlington Free Press told me a year ago they don't have the manpower to announce my candidacy for U.S. Senate in 2004. Horsefeathers. They also had no time to mention civil unions, for the coverage of which The Rutland Herald received a Pulitzer. So, please consider letters from bribe-rejecting candidates

A new poll released by Vermont Public Radio

Inside Track

this week shows Democrat Doug Racine at 34 percent. Jim Douglas is at 28 percent. Independent Con Hogan got 6 percent, and Progressive Michael Badamo has 2 percent. With less than two months until election day, 29 percent of those polled are undecided. Since nobody at this point appears certain to lock up more than the constitutionally required 50 percent of the popular vote, the race for governor and the race for lieutenant governor are heading for Limbo. And it's a Limbo that will last through the Christmas holidays until the new legislature convenes in January. That's when 180 legislators will select Vermont's next ruling regime in two highly dramatic and historic secret ballots. Can't wait. No question, Dick's Vermont visit is significant. On Tuesday, we contacted a member of Mr. Cheney's "advance team" who's been checking out Burlap for a couple days. Unfortunately, she informed yours truly she did not, as yet, have the green light from the White House to discuss the vice president's visit. There's always the possibility, she said, that something might come up at the last minute. Fingers crossed. For the past week, yours truly has been imagining the possibility of asking Mr. Cheney a question. What would it be? Like many of you, yours truly spent hours last week watching the TV networks replay the horror of the September 11, 2001, airborne suicide-bombings of the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. It was just as gut-wrenching to watch as it was a year ago. And it's not comforting to know that, one year later, President George W. BliSh has not delivered on his promise to capture Osama bin Laden. It's not comforting to know that Osama the Saudi billionaire and his suicidal lieutenants are out there plotting future attacks. It's not comforting to watch our President try to shift our attention away from the scoundrel he cannot find and instead sell us on a substitute who's much easier to locate — our former ally, Saddam Hussein, the ruler of Iraq. ^ One year after the heavens rained down terror on the good ol' USA, the greatest loss is not the value of our stock portfolios. The greatest loss is

Think about it, folks. The greatest murder case in American history and there is no investigation? No commission appointed to find the truth and report to the American people. What's wrong with this picture? Chappaquidick was investigated, fer chrissakes. Whitewater was investigated to death. President Bill Clinton's sex life was investigated. The American people know more about the causes of the stains on Monica Lewinsky's blue dress than they do about the causes of the 9/11 attacks. The American people need to know exactly how Osama's gang evaded America's defenses. They need to know names, ranks and serial numbers. They need to have the flaws in defense and intelligence agencies exposed and corrected. They need to have someone in this regime take responsibility. Surely there are heads that need rolling? Until that happens, until the Bush administration launches an official, bipartisan, red, white and blue investigation of September 11, hope will remain a very scarce commodity throughout the land. Mary Fanny Follies — Fletcher Allen Health Care (FAHC) CEO Bill Boettcher's six weeks on thin ice ended this week with the announcement by the board of trustees that Boss Bill has resigned. He had been on paid administrative leave. Nobody was surprised by the announcement. Most considered it inevitable. What was unusual was the fact that Chairman Philip Drumheller didn't have a bad word to say about Boss Bill. In fact, he praised Boettcher for getting the Mary Fanny out of financial difficulty during his four years at the helm. The exit deal was negotiated by Allen Martin of the upscale law firm, Downs Rachlin Martin, and Boettcher's distinguished attorney, Jerry O'Neill, chairman of the police commission. It leaves Boss Bill temporarily unemployed. But the $750,000 in retirement funds he takes with him from the Mary Fanny should ease his fall. The obvious hope is that the trustees' public relations nightmare will end now that Boettcher has gone over the side. (We noticed the hospital has recently tapped the services of Paul Bruhn as a

After suspending mail deliveries because anthrax spores were detected in 16 congressional offices last October, the U.S. Postal Service began treating all mail addressed to Congress and federal agencies with large doses of nuclear radiation. A report by the general counsel of the Office of Compliance noted that shortly after mail deliveries resumed in January, a substantial number of congressional employees experienced long-term health problems, which have been linked to the irradiated mail. T h e report traced some of the problems — headaches, burning eyes, itching skin and nausea — to "overdoses" of radiation and irritant chemical byproducts caused by irradiation of the mail, probably as a result of the breakdown of cellulose in the paper mail during the irradiation process.

Pandering to Passion Hoping to stop giant pandas from becoming extinct, researchers at the China Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center in Sichuan province have begun requiring all adult males to watch videos of wild and captive pandas having sex.

King of Fat T h e Wall Street Journal reported that Ulf Ellingsen, 51, owns Europe's largest stockpile of whale blubber, having hoarded 600 tons in colossal freezers 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle. H e said that he would like to sell his blubber, but Norwegians, who prefer lean whale meat, won't touch it. H e also can't sell it to Japan, where whale blubber is a delicacy and his stash would fetch around

British Columbia, that someone had stolen the marijuana that he was growing at home. Officers responded and found that the thieves had left behind just enough of the marijuana to charge the victim with possession. "It's surprising," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Peter Lane said, "what some people will report to police." • Police in Middlefield, Ohio, arrested James J. Bowers, 27, outside a bar at 3:30 a.m. after finding him asleep and snoring in his pickup truck with a bag of marijuana on his lap. W h e n asked about the bag, Bowers told police Sgt. Mark Clark, "OK, you got me. It's mine. It's my weed," then explained he must have drifted off while "getting ready to roll a joint." • Authorities charged Vivian Frazier, 32, with passing 2 grams of methamphetamine in a balloon to her new husband, Jeremy Guinther, 32, when she kissed him at the conclusion of their wedding ceremony at Indiana's Vigo County Jail. According to a police report, a guard became suspicious after noticing that inmate Guinther had a slight bulge in his cheek after the kiss. T h e guard ordered Guinther to open his mouth, but the inmate swallowed. Guinther was taken to the hospital, where the drug was recovered awhile later. ®

they can drink during the twohour trip. C o m p a n y representative Naotaka Nishiyama reported the trains have been "almost completely booked up," even though they have no restrooms.

other officers chased the van to a residential cul-de-sac. "The van sideswiped a tree, so the only person able to flee was the driver, Michael Ford, who took off on foot with the officers in pursuit," Detective Mike Lang said, "He only made it as far as the back yard as he had a prosthetic leg, which came off when he was running and decreased his mobility."

After a 45-year-old woman complained to the authorities about someone smashing a bottle outside her home in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, she told the deputies who responded that she had fired her .22-caliber handgun into the air as a warning to the occupants of the passing car. T h e deputies seized the weapon and took the woman to the Sheriff's Department, where she was booked. "I thought I was going there to tell my story," she said, "and then they started saying I had committed a crime." • W h e n two men robbed a sheet-metal business in Philadelphia, the workers began chasing them. O n e of the robbers turned and fired shots at the workers but hit his accomplice in the head. T h e accomplice collapsed and died, while the other robber escaped with the money. "It's a robbery that got sloppy," police Capt. Lou Campione said.

^ B Y JERNIGAN PONTIAC

found myself in Essex Junction during back-toschool week, and on a pass by the train station I noticed a man, a woman and a teenage girl standing outside with their luggage. The man was flagging me down — he clearly wanted a taxi. I was momentarily perplexed. The evening train is not due in for another 20 minutes, I thought. Where did these folks come from, and why do they need a cab? "Where to, folks?" I called out from my open window, pulling up parallel to them. Their dark eyes and olive skin suggested Latin descent. "Oh, thank goodness," the man replied in a Spanish accent. "Could you take our family to the Sheraton Hotel, please? We've had a terrible day." As I loaded the bags into the trunk, I could see the woman was % distraught. The girl, by contrast, had the facial expression common among teenagers everywhere, particularly after a long day with the »parents: detached, sullen and ever-so-slightly bemused. It's a look that says, "You guys are a joke. What cruel fate has placed me under your tyrannical rule?" "Papi," the woman said to the man as he climbed into the front seat. "I just want this day to be over. What more can go wrong?"

was immediately drawn into this tale, and I wanted to get it straight. "The Bronx," she replied. "We left at four o'clock this morning from our home in the Bronx." "You left from the Bronx?" I repeated. I always liked the fact that, among the five boroughs of New York City, only this one gets "the" before its name. "What, did you fly up?" "No, no — that's what we should have done," she said. "We took a local gypsy cab, a guy we've used for years around the neighborhood. He said he knew how to get to Vermont, but as soon as we left the Bronx he was lost. We paid him $650 to take us round-trip. Anyway, his car broke down in — what town was that, Papi, where we broke down?" "Fairhaven, hon," my seatmate responded, dutifully keeping the conversation rolling. "So, then we had to call a Burlington taxi to bring us the rest of the way. Oh, my, that took hours!" The woman was becoming even more exasperated retelling the story. "So we dropped off our son, it must have been nearly five. Then we needed to get back home, and this other taxi driver drove us to the train station at seven. He said the train to New York will come at eight. But when the station man came, he

their cash holdings. If it's a "go," I thought to myself, it will be my first trip of this distance in quite a few years. People do not generally undertake 300-plus-mile taxi rides. For that distance, flying is generally cheaper. "Let's go," the father said, decisively. "We need to get home, and between the train fare and the hotel room, it won't cost us any more to go with you." I passed the man my cell phone to cancel the hotel room and train reservation, and we headed toward Route 7. It seemed like both females of the group were happy about the sudden change of plans because, before we reached Shelburne, they were fast asleep in the back, leaning peacefully against each other's shoulders. This was good news for me: The mother was understandably upset, with every reason to vent, but I don't think I could have taken it for six more hours. "Alejandro" and I conversed quietly for nearly the entire ride. It was one of those late-night talks where time evaporates and the subjects flow endlessly and effortlessly from one thing to another. He told me that he and his wife emigrated 20 years ago from Quito, Ecuador. It was the classic newcomers' tale: They started with nothing, worked hard and now own a home in the Bathgate section of the Bronx, below Fordham College. "What kind of work do you do?" I asked at one point. "My wife does administrative work at a hospital and I'm a doorman at a midtown building. They like to say concierge' — I think they can charge more rent," Alejandro observed with a chuckle. I dropped the family off at their small, immaculate brownstone at 2:30 in the morning. They gave me instructions back to the Cross-Bronx Expressway, but I must have missed one of the turns, because I ended up completely lost in the barrio. By this point it. was after three, I had $500 cash in my pocket, and at every stoplight young guys hanging at the corner bodegas were eyeing my Vermont plates. At last I saw a street sign pointing the way to 1-95. Though it wasn't my preferred route, I jumped at the opportunity. ®

{'He said he knew how to get to Vermont, but as soon as

we left the Bronx he was lost." "Jeez, ma'am, it sounds like you folks had a rough day," I said as we took off towards the hotel. "What the heck happened?" I looked into the rear-view mirror and saw the woman straighten up in her seat and grip the top of her head with both hands, as if to keep it from exploding. Her daughter, meanwhile, shook her head and rolled her eyes. A subtle gesture, but I caught it. "OK," the woman began. "We came up early this morning to bring our son to St. Michael's College. He's a freshman." The way she said the name of the college, I thought she would burst with pride. "Where did you leave from?" I interrupted. For some reason, I

"Ma'am, for what it's worth, I doubt the cabbie was hustling you; he was probably a new driver and was just confused about the train schedule." That piece of speculative analysis on my part did not calm her down one whit. "Now we have to stay overnight at the Sheraton," she continued, "and it's $200!" I glanced down at the clock on the radio. It said 8:15. "Folks, if you're interested, I can take you directly to your home in the Bronx. If we leave now, you'll be home by 3 a.m. I'll charge you $400." I kept driving as they checked

masthead to masthead The sprawling city of Colchester may lack an identifiable downtow*n, but it now has two newspapers covering its selectboard meetings, sewage strategies and high school sports. The debut issue of the Colchester Sun rose last Thursday, reporting that the 17-yearold biweekly Colchester Chronicle is being sold to The Burlington Free Press. In a tacit declaration of war, the start-up paper pledged to give the incumbent some "locally owned" competition. Chronicle owner Guy Page confirmed his papers pending sale but would not reveal the buyer's identity. Burlington Free Press publisher Jim Carrey did not return phone calls for this story. It's "common knowledge" the Gannett chain is behind the deal, according to Marc Landry, a resident and selectboard member who owns an insurance company on Prim Road. "Guy told me standing in the post office," he says. "That's where most of the stuff happens in town." Why is the multinational media conglomerate that publishes USA Today suddenly interested in every-other-week small-town journalism? For the same reason it's testing the concept of a national chain of "alternative" newspapers by launching free weeklies in Boise, Idaho, and Lansing, Michigan. Because daily circulation is down. And, ultimately, it would be easier to buy readers than to sell them subscriptions to the Free- Press. People tend to be loyal to the little local papers that cover their communities: the Williston Whistle, the Shelburne News, the Other Paper in South Burlington. Nearly every town in Chittenden County has a thriving indigenous rag. For the past six years, those papers have also banded together to lure advertisers away from the Free Press with a one-stop network deal that costs them less than they pay at the Freeps. National chain stores, politicians and regional businesses flocked to the Chittenden County Suburban Newspaper group — nothing is more legitimizing than a presence in the hometown paper. Meanwhile, local publishers like Page happily cashed checks from J.C. Penney, K-Mart, Fletcher Allen, Filene's and McDonalds. As Vermont's third-largest city, Colchester was a crucial piece of the puzzle. Can it be a coincidence that once the sales transaction is complete, as Page acknowledges, "the Chronicle will no longer be part of the Chittenden County Suburban Newspaper group?" Enter brothers Angelo and Emerson Lynn, who collectively own four other papers in the area. In Colchester, they saw an opportunity to expand their own local publishing empire. The duo made an offer for the Chronicle, but lost out to the higher bidder. "You can't compete with the Free Press in terms of the depth of their pocketbook," says Emerson, who once employed Page as a reporter. Drawing on their existing editorial, sales and administrative staff, the Lynns decided to start the Sun, which will now be receiving the network ads that used to go to the Chronicle. "We'll run the Colchester paper just as we've run the St. Albans Messenger, the Addison Independent, the Essex Reporter and the Milton Independent," Emerson vows. "You pay attention to the information that is important to readers in those respective towns." The first issue of the 16-page broadsheet carried stories on teachers' union negotiations, the Lime Kiln Quarry, toxic algae and a full page of captioned photos entitled "Hometown Sports." First-time advertisers ranged from City Market in Burlington to The Automaster in Shelburne and Total Home Center in St. Albans. Despite the four-color cover, though, not everyone noticed the difference. "Honestly, it's just another paper," suggests Bruce Deming at Champlain Marina. "Now both of them are hitting us up for ads." Other readers were impressed. "You could see they had some resources to bring to the table. The first issue had a full complement of ads and articles," Landry observes. "I'm hoping what all this does — should Gannett wind up buying the Chronicle — is raise the bar. If they want a presence in this community, they are going to have to work for it." Page bought the Chronicle 14 years ago from former Republican Rep. Inge Schaefer. Although the paper was generally considered to be politically conservative, Page insists he "gave everyone a fair shake." Asked to identify the article that made him most proud, he recalls a posthumous profile of Red Sox pitcher and Colchester resident Ray Collins. Breaking news was another story, according to Landry. "Guy wasn't able to cover most selectboard meetings. The same thing happened with school board and zoning. Sometimes he'd have to call us to ask what happened." Ultimately, dueling news sources can only benefit the people of Colchester, whom Landry posits have a kind of collective chip on their shoulder because they don't get enough media attention. In support of that effort, may we humbly suggest to the publishers of either or both Colchester newspapers: Along with your masthead, give us a map. ®

I hat does nature mean in the 21st century?" wonders Wadham, New York, poet Chuck Gibson. "Many people claim to 'love nature.' What does that mean?" For Gibson, "nature" means his home and the setting of his work, the vast tract of legislated wilderness we face when we gaze across Lake Champlain. While "Vermont has much more of a human touch," he says, "the Adirondaeks represents Nature in the raw. It represents a special opportunity for a creative artist to dig a little deeper into 'nature' than someone writing from a more settled place." Ra Press founder Dave Donohue agrees: "I think we've been overmedia'd the last three decades, to the point where we've lost the ability to appreciate nature. Living in the Adirondaeks helps us hold onto this gift." This land of rugged primeval mountains and pine-darkened lakes, where Emerson and William James communed with nature, seemed to Donohue like

Ra is the Egyptian god of the sun, a name Donohue chose in honor of his first title, a travel tale of Alexandria. At first glance, the books may remind you of your high-school literary magazine. But their low-tech design betrays more sophisticated influences. "I wanted to have that mid-'60s City Lights Beat style," Donohue says, referring to the famous San Francisco bookstore. "No gloss, no glitter — I wanted the books to be intimate, accessible, inexpensive, totally eccentric, and 100 pages or less." Ra started as a self-publication venture for Donohue while he was teaching in the Middle East and then working at Essex County ARC, an organization that serves the developmentally disabled. At ARC he met fellow writers Gibson and Mary Randall and invited them to add to his list. Over Thanksgiving dinner,, he "challenged" his sister-in-law

on a shoestring budget is a way to take control of that process, even if it means giving up some of the potential rewards. Donohue's unofficial slogan is "books that make a point, not a profit." Currently, all 11 Ra titles can be found at In the Alley Bookshop in Middlebury's Frog Hollow, but the individual writers are responsible for distributing their books farther afield. Some titles are available at area bookstores, including North Country Books in Burlington and Cornerstone in Plattsburgh. The press' offerings are unabashedly eclectic, defying the marketing categories that segment so much of contemporary literature. Here you'll find Adirondack-themed fiction alongside more exotic travel pieces, and short stories sharing a cover with poems. Acknowledging that many readers see prose and poetry as

a pretty good place for a group of friends to try an experiment with literature in the raw. Ra has no office beyond a post office box in Ticonderoga, no full-time employees or marketers or printing presses on call. Donohue and friends produce the small, soft-cover books themselves with the help of home computers and a Middlebury stationer who gives them advice on art and type formatting. Binding happens on the living-room floor. "Ra Press is a cottage industry in the most extreme sense of the word," says Donohue, "as these books are assembled in our home."

— Dave Donohue] Joan Frost to let him publish some of her poems, and so the Ra collective was born. Despite their rural setting, the Ra writers aren't "outsider artists," blissfully indifferent to the nitty-gritty of the book business. Most have been writing actively since their college English-major days, and some have endured frustrating experiences with major publishers who were interested in their work — but not interested enough. Donohue recalls the New York agent who nearly sold his first novel, then absconded with the manuscript in tow. Publishing your own works

forms that don't mix, Donohue counters, "For me they should be interchangeable. Ray Bradbury's prose is lyrically beautiful. Henry Rollins' poetry reads more like short stories." The mixture works in Mary Randall's The Ghost of Starbuckville Dam. The title story is a coming-of-age tale whose setting, a desolate Adirondack summer house, seems to invite gentle visitations from the supernatural. The short poems that follow speak in a more personal voice but return to the central mystery of the story: "love, and the funny places where it may be found." In five moving yet fiercely

when June arrives with its "new world of light-green leaves," making the poet wonder if Nature is a doting mother after all, "bugs like sand land on his ears/And bite his neck where sweat has pooled./It's possible' that he was fooled..." Fickle and untrustworthy, nature refuses to be ignored by human beings. T h e transition from winter to spring is happening inside us as well as around us: New warmth will make us grow, outgroiv The frozen pools within we know So well. [...] The dreams that drifted under sifted snow, Do they return or must we let them go? These are themes that hark back to Robert Frost and the Romantic nature poets of the early 19th century. But Gibson's style is more playful. Sometimes it has the simple swing of children's verse: "If the snow/Must be seen/Let it show/Through a screen." At other times it thickens with its own storms of alliteration and internal rhyme: "Words unspoken broken flow/Where the waters wind below..." "Scary sky stretched tight as d r u m . / D r u m rolls loud. Bell rung. Bang come." This is good stuff to read aloud, though you may get your tongue twisted in the process. Gibson acknowledges Dr. Seuss as an influence. "If children love wordplay, why not adults?" He feels that rhyme can help bring readers back to poetry, dispelling the notion that verse is a joyless high-art form. "There's a quirkiness to rhyme — it brings in wordplay — it answers questions in unexpected ways, it surprises. Free verse used to be radical but now too much of it is boring, just lying there. Poetry should hop and bounce, occasionally popping us between the eyes." Keeping the reader off-guard seems to be part of the modus operandi of Ra Press. Its other offerings include Joan Frost's Concentric Circles, a collection of poems with a feminist slant; five more works by Donohue; and two lurid Adirondack-set tales by the "reclusive and somewhat mysterious" Jack Le Brun. Because the press' list is so varied, these are books to browse until you find the one that speaks to you. Ra Press embodies a do-ityourself literary ethos that's as much at home in the Adirondack backcountry as it ever was in Haight-Ashbury or Greenwich Village. Gibson captures its raison d'etre, that writers have to write first for themselves, whenhe says, "Some people like to mess around with carburetors. I like to mess around with words." ®

"Yes! Absolutely!" is the reassuring, response. "Will I give birth to a baby pterodactyl with purple wings and a big green horn?" I muse. "Definitely. No question about it," I'm told. Well that's a relief. Makes it easier to plan ahead. My counselor in this free advice session is none other than Mister Cold Ethel himself, aging shock-rocker Alice Cooper. Utilizing the digital magic of Cooper's "Ask Alice" page — www.alicecooper show.com/8-ball.html — I type in my yesno questions, briskly hit the "Ask Alice"

Ask Alice Church of the Subgenius Mystical Smoking Head of Bob Spin the Dao Chinese Fortune Calendar Tarot

fid^fo! the man himself appears to sagely help me handle the questions with which I struggle daily. While Cooper may be an unusual &urce, he's certainly not alone in offering divination tools on the Internet. The Church of the Subgenius at www. subgeniirs.com — whose motto is "Don't freak, but the world could end any second noiv"— provides the solace of Bob, its fictitious leader. Pictured as a '50s-style, clipart dad head, replete with pipe and a third eye, Bob assays to salve the worried postpost-modern mind. "Of the many True Oracles, none are more profound than the Mystical Smoking Head of Bob," we are assured on a Subgenius sister site at www.resort.com/-banshee/Misc/8ball. Here wisdom is dispensed in languages ranging from Portuguese to Esperanto at the click

of a mouse. When I ask when Bob and I will wed, he gravely assures me in English that our marriage is "imminent." Moving from the silly to the sagacious, I quest over to the ancient and revered / Ching, the Chinese book of revelations that usually requires hands and coins and a physical volume, but that can now be rifled online with nary a paper cut. Unlike Bob and Alice, the I Ching sites are very serious indeed. Those who provide them are serious about the images and text that refresh with a button, and also serious about earning some exotically decorated U.S. currency from muddled Westerners looking for oneclick fixes. While the mysterious responses are free, figuring out what they mean can require a paid consultation. Honoring the lyrical, no-cost words of

the I Ching as found on the "Spin, the - > i Dao" Web site (www.millenniumcalendar.net/Casting.htm), I solemnly launch into health-related questions that have nothing to do with the size of my bosom. Will my good health continue? I fret. "Change for the better is underway," the I Ching assures. "Advance through right progress for success." Good, but not good enough. Like a compulsive gambler, I fatally hit the refresh button. "Your reform is generated through mild punishment," comes back. Uh-huh, no punishment is too mild. I shakily refresh again. "You can retreat without guilt or doubt," it assures. "In this happy manner, you will find success." I briskly do retreat, wise enough to leave "good enough" alone. At least on this site. Jumping nimbly to the Chinese

Fortune Calendar (www.chinesefortunecalendar.com), I input my date and time of birth to discover that my fire (money) and my soil (job) are at enormous odds with each other, the job weighing much and the money little. Dramatically unsurprised, I am nonetheless mystically impressed to learn that I should be wearing more red clothes, eating extra helpings of bitter greens, sleeping southward and laughing more deeply. Excellent suggestions all. Most terribly — or wonderfully, depending on your point of view - f - the Cniheser^rtunfc graph depicting 10-year cycles of personal good luck in work and relationships. My run is evidently up in just eight short years, not to return until I'm 68. Menopause, I grimly reflect, should be one helluva hoot. The Chinese Fortune Calendar merrily wastes one full, addictive hour as I input the birth information for everyone I know. Now obsessed with the Chinese concept of good fortune, I test it sorely by scrolling over to www.tarot.com, the official playground for followers of this mystical deck. My "card of the day" is, ominously, the Hanged Man, which says, "May your sacrifices be meaningful." Leaning back in my chair, I reflect that this virtual divination stuff isn't for the fainthearted. On one Sunday morning alone, I have

found myself doomed to remain at my current bra size, urged to prepare a pterodactyl nursery, fatally engaged to a drawing that smokes a pipe, and nearing a 20year spate of bad fortune. Furthermore, I've been regaled with tales of sacrifice, punishment, inevitable change, retreat and, OK, possible success. As applied to my actual circumstances, this has meant pouring low-fat milk instead of cream into my coffee (sacrifice); discovering an empty sugar bowl (punishment); finding that my favorite columnist has been moved to a different section of the newspaper 3 (inevitable change); returning tobed'for an extra hour's nap (retreat) and, finally, triumphing over the day by rousing myself into clothes (success!). I've also lolled dangerously in the compulsive-addictive side of my personality, that section of frontal lobe that evilly urges me to make one last reload of Tarot.com. A new card appears, the Devil. "May you have a passionate life," it blesses. Arresting the gambler within, this time I quit while I'm still ahead. ® Web Feat is a new monthly feature in which our intrepid columnist extravagantly wastes way too many hours of her life fooling around looking for cool stuff on the Internet.

In B u r l i n g t o n , s a l e s are s m o k i n g for designer bongs

BY MICHELLE ZIMMERMAN

rt and cannibis culture have always been intertwined. In the generation that came of age in the 1970s, this connection was expressed simply: a single marijuana leaf on a jean jacket or T-shirt, "trippy" graphics on rock posters, etc. But bongs were generally of the homemade variety, crafted out of toilet paper rolls o r plastic bottles. Today the bong is an art form unto itself. At a time when the stock market is down and the economy sluggish, some college kids still seem to find a way to afford one of life's finer pleasures: the $1000 bong. A far cry from a simple pipe,

these costly, complex creations combine art and function to deliver a new meaning to the word "high." These one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted sculptures may look like something you'd pick up in Venice: colorful depictions of underwater seascapes, uncanny replicas of flowers or cacti or even an abstract modern design. But three strategically located holes are what set these models apart from the ones you see along the Adriatic Coast. And, of course, they are not supposed to be used for the inhalation of illegal substances. Bongs are sold legally in Vermont. Legislation enacted in 1982 makes it permis-

sible for stores to sell the special smoking tools to adults. In line with the letter of the law, talk about smoking pot from these pipes is taboo, among both glass blowers and store owners. Even vague references are grounds for expulsion from Threads of Zion, Full Tank or Good Times Gallery. Their respective owners — Kellie 1 Alpert, Chris Shaw and Shea Beaumont — also keep minors and foul lapguage out of their Church Street stores. Officer Jim Muller of the Burlington Police Department confirms that the sale of glass "tobacco1 pipes is legal, provided they are sold to persons at least 18 years old, for the ostensible purpose of smoking tobacco. Alpert has owned Threads of Zion for the last four years and in that time has witnessed a steady increase in the demand for expensive glass. "When I first opened the store there was no market for things over $200," she says. In 1999 she sold her first pricey piece. Since then, the demand for colorful, detailed merchandise has boomed. Alpert's shop sells at least one expensive piece a week. Who are the buyers? Alpert says her

Some styles, like a bubbler, are specifically designed for filtering the smoke through water; others are made for dry smoking. Sizes can range from a piece that fits in the palm of your hand to sculptures more than a foot high. Intricate designs are what really set a costly piece apart. Works designed by renowned pipe-maker Bob Badtram feature farmyard scenes, a portrait of a skunk in the woods and a girl petting a deer. Pyrex sculptures of turtles, fish, dolphins and flowers are fused onto some items to add artistic flare. In others, churning ribbons of color are turned inside-out, creating a psychedelic look. What makes a deluxe bubbler or Sherlock worthy of dropping a grand? "What you're really paying for is time," Shaw suggests. Not only the time the artist spent creating the piece but the investment they've made in education and training. More beautiful pipes will also fetch higher prices.

Solid-glass heads, replete with finely sculpted faces and luminous brains, sleek, deep-hued blooms and claw feet adorn some of Gerry's smooth, thick pipes. W h e n he sets out to work, Gerry doesn't try to make a masterpiece. Rather, he strives to come up with something original. Though he is continually learning new techniques, whether from other artisans, in classes or through practice, Gerry says his interest in pipe-making is waning. Like many others in his field, he wants to move away from functional art and into pure sculpture. "Pipe-making is not as appealing. I'm not pushing myself," he admits. "There are people going further and I'm not interested in keeping up. I'm interested in putting more work into the design end, into drawing, things that are more experimental." Gerry has started making non-functional sculptures, but blowing pipes remains his major source of income. Mike Fro, 24, recently moved from San Diego to Burlington to learn East Coast artistry and styles. With memories of homelessness not far behind him, he's still motivated to be the best in his field. "I work harder than anyone I know," says Fro, who puts in 10- to 12-hour days at the torch six or seven days a week. His artistic influences come from the shapes and colors of graffiti. His pieces are characterized by vibrant reds, blues and yellows swirled in trippy designs against bold black, ribbons of glittering glass accented by a hallucinogenic marble, and orangetinged flames and octopus-like arms cascading out of a pipe. "I have a general idea before I start a piece," he says. After that, he blows as he goes to achieve the finished product. Pipes are continually evolving into more complex art forms as a wealth of new styles, techniques and up-and-coming artists emerges onto the glass-blowing scene. For collectors, this is all good — with or without the smokescreen. ®

Angel? Findhorn co-founder Dorothy Maclean gets into the m m m spirit

BY A N N E GALLOWAY

orothy Maclean seems pretty out there. Especially as compared to the rest of us, who are so overwhelmed by modern living that we find it difficult to communicate even with the people we care about. Maclean communicates with the spirit world — specifically, nature "devas" and angels. Nearly every decision in her life is a result of going within and seeking advice from what she calls her "inner guidance." This seemed strange even to Maclean, until she and friends Eileen and Peter Caddy were "guided" to go live in the tiny fishing village of Findhorn, Scotland. That town's name is now synonymous with the spiritual community Maclean and the Caddys founded in the early 1960s. That and the 42-pound cabbages. The Findhorn Community became a world-renowned, eco-spiritual commune, attracting awestruck seekers and no small share of gardeners. That's because the founders — who shared a cramped trailer, were on the dole and hungry — directed their meditations to the earth. The results: They turned poor, sandy soil in a cold climate into rich loam, and grew vegetables that could have taken prizes at any county fair. The story of Findhorn sounds like a fairy tale in many ways, but it's one that has inspired thousands — including a

number of "graduates" and current affiliates who live in Vermont. And it's a story Maclean will retell this weekend in Middlebury. At the invitation of the Vermont Family Forests, a nonprofit conservation organization based in Bristol, the Middlebury College Environmental §tudies Program and Spirit in Nature, a multi-faith center in Ripton, Maclean will give a public talk Friday evening entitled "Nature Speaks Out: Go Within to Renew Yourselves and Heal the Earth." If that sounds like a boilerplate Methodist sermon, Maclean, in an interview from her current home in Washing: ton state, clarifies with a chuckle, "Oh, I always talk about the same thing: making the inner connection and, through that, making the connection to nature." Anyone wanting details, and instruction on getting in touch with their own spirit guides, can attend Maclean's half-day workshop Saturday. Attendees can expect to leave with some unique gardening tips. Those who already talk to plants, animals and angels will surely come away feeling vindicated. "I'd like people to realize that they, too, can work cooperatively with nature's intelligence," Maclean says. "Such cooperation is vital, for the world, for we need the help of the intelligence of nature in dealing with the environmental problems we've created. The intellectual point of view is not sufficient; we need to go more

deeply into ourselves and into nature to find the real solutions."

aclean, now 82, talks as though she's just flown in from a distant planet that hosts more intelligent life forms. But surprisingly, she's not an airy-fairy New Age type, even if she does describe herself as a mystic. She speaks with a down-to-earth, no-nonsense, let'sget-on-with-it conviction. She believes anyone can gain access to the divine within and learn how to harmonize with the natural world. "If you get within yourself you find clarity, love, peace, joy and connected-

ness," Maclean says. "Once I'm in that place then I can be open and God can speak." There was a time, however, when Dorothy Maclean functioned like the rest of us. She grew up in Guelph, Ontario, graduated from the University of Western Ontario and worked for five years with the British Secret Intelligence Service in the Americas and in Europe during World War II. She was married for 10 years. Maclean studied Christianity and Sufism, the mystical form of Islam, and then, in her late twenties, she had what she calls "an experience of knowing that God was within me." She began to meditate on a regular basis. In this contempla-

tive state she found she could listen to her inner guidance. She began to associate with like-minded individuals, and went to Scotland to be with a spiritual mentor named Shana. Through Shana she met the Caddys. Eileen and Peter Caddy had also embarked on a spiritual journey. The three became fast friends and together decided to make a commitment to acting on intu-

needed to commune with nature," Maclean recalls. "I was told everything had an intelligence, even a vegetable, and I was to harmonize with the essence of that intelligence. I thought that was pretty silly." As Maclean meditated, she says, she came in contact with what she calls a deva, a Sanskrit term meaning angel. Gradually she found that she could come in contact

When the curious came and saw how Maclean and the Caddys lived in sync with each other and with nature, many of them stayed. Michael Shaw, a Charlotte resident and chairman of the trustees for the Findhorn Community for the last 27 years, says the place has taken on a life of its own. The founders had a very hands-off approach to management, and so it has evolved over

"I was told everything had an intelligence, even a A vegetable, and I was to harmonize with the essence of that intelligence. I thought that was pretty silly." , — Dorothv Maclean ition. When they had problems they couldn't solve, they meditated, listened to what sprang to mind and acted on it. Maclean and the Caddys took a job at a rundown hotel in a small town north of Inverness. They spent six years transforming it into a four-star hotel. Then there was a falling out with the owner and all three were fired. It was 1962. Broke and down on their luck, Maclean and the Caddys meditated about where they should go. Their inner guides directed them to a nearby village called Findhorn. Peter Caddy started growing vegetables in a measly patch of dirt. In their situation they weren't above asking the powers that be for gardening advice. "One morning my guidance said I

with devas for all the individual species in the garden. They began to dictate specific information about how much compost, water and space the plants needed to flourish — and along the way they communicated ideas about how she could live in harmony with nature. Seven years later, Maclean and the Caddys were still living in the small trailer on the beach in Findhorn. But something miraculous had happened. Their garden produced 42-pound cabbages and 10-foot delphiniums without fertilizers or pesticides. Peter published a small newsletter about the gardens and their way of life, word spread, and people came to see the gardens and were astounded. The media picked up on the story and broadcast the "miracles" of Findhorn.

time as people have drifted in and out. There is an EcoVillage at Findhorn now, where residents grow their own food, treat their own waste and generate their own energy. This resonates with Shaw, an engineer for the Burlington-based Ocean Arks International, founded by Nancy Todd. Her husband John Todd created, a sewage treatment method using plants to filter waste. The Todds are "alums" of Findhorn as well. So are Will and Lyn'ette Raap. He's the founder of Gardener's Supply in Burlington and she's a co-founder of the Waldorf School in Shelburne. Lynette Raap went to Findhorn right after college in the early 1970s. Her mother took her on a tour of Scotland, and when she meditated in the sanctuary at

Findhorn she was hooked. She stayed for three years. "Anyone who went to Findhorn was aligned with the idea that we are all spiritual beings that happen to be in a human body,4' she says. "It was a place that grew out of synchronicity. People were drawn there. Miracles happened every day. People asked for things and got them." Forty years later, the Findhorn Community is an institution. Its foundation runs classes, workshops and conferences, and its community is involved in a project growing thousands of trees from seed in the hope of replanting the longlost Caledonia Forest of central Scotland. While it may have lost its hippie-ish flavor, Findhorn is as cutting-edge as it ever was. Dorothy Maclean left the community in 1973 and went on to write six inspirational books; she lectures and gives workshops around the world. She still visits Findhorn twice a year, and she is working on her autobiography. Its working title: The Memoirs of an Ordinary Mystic. When Maclean returns to Findhorn, even she is taken aback at the magnitude of it all. "I'm awestruck at times," she says. "It's amazing what's happened. But it came out of commitment. We weren't very talented, but we were committed." ® Dorothy Maclean will give a public lecture at 7 p.m. on Friday and a half day workshop 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Congregational Church in Middlebury. The lecture is $7. The workshop and lecture together are $45• To register, call Vermont Family Forests at 453-7728, or visit www.family forests, org/events.shtml.

SEVEN DAYS

September 18, 2002

Vermont's next governor exhibits none of these characteristics. Even if he did, we'd never know from the campaign speeches or commercials. While political candidates spend most of their time telling us where they stand on various issues, they also take great care to play up their integrity, leadership and intelligence. Flaws must be hidden. Just ask Bill Clinton about the political impact of a character defect. So how are we voters to read between the lines and separate the champs from the chumps? The writing is on the wall — well, almost. Consider graphoanalysis, a.k.a. the study of handwriting. Since the Roman Empire, humans have been considering how penmanship might reveal character traits. Even Sigmund Freud observed, "There is no doubt that men also express their characteristics through their handwriting." This is not as woo-woo as it sounds. Graphoanalysis is used by law-enforcement officials, human-resource departments, teachers, social workers and other professionals to better understand personalities and preferences. A New York Times article this week discusses the long debate about use of handwriting analysis in the courts, and a brandnew, comprehensive study that confirms everyone's handwriting is indeed unique. It was the Bruno Hauptmann trial in the 1935 Lindbergh baby kidnapping case that elevated handwriting analysis to the level of fingerprints; Hauptmann was convicted in part on the testimony of experts who determined he had written the ransom notes. Identifying penmanship is one thing; suggesting that the way you make your p s and q's reveals personal traits is another. But graphoanalysis is even used in some quarters as an aid in diagnosing a patient's physical and mental condition. After all, handwriting is known by analysts as "brain writing" — the subconscious expression of one's mind. Stephen and Carol Jennings of Morrisville, Vermont, first became fascinated with the field after reading an article about it in Biography magazine two years ago. They began to dig deeper and were continually intrigued by what they found. "The first thing you do is analyze yourself," says Stephen.

"And you're like, 'Wow, that's how I really am.'" Now the two are members of the Massachusetts Chapter of the International Graphoanalysis Society — there is no chapter in Vermont. When Seven Days asked them to take a look at the handwriting samples of Vermont's candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, they enthusiastically agreed. "And we're not political people," Stephen assured, don't know these guys from a hole in the wall." The couple also confirmed their analyses with mentor Bonnie Lee Nugent, a certified document examiner for the court who has been in the field more than 20 years. Carol and Stephen aspire to decifering handwriting for a living, as Nugent does. "We're students but we work on it every day," says Stephen, whose license plate reads 'WRITE ON." In their studies, the couple have discovered a world of cursive complexity. For example, about 40 characteristics are revealed simply in the crossing ofi t. A "slashed" t reveals sarcasm, while "dumbbells" a crossed t with deliberative dots at each end — suggest someone more likely to commit a violent act. Some of the best examples in handwriting analysis are found with famous people like O.J. Simpson, whose temper and emotional nature are right there on the paper. Jack the Ripper's handwriting was muddy, inconsistent and just plain scary-looking. Stephen, who works part-time for a ski shop, swears his boss' signature resembles a ski slope. "If you see a really big healthy loop in a g or y, you can assume the person has a normal physical or sexual life," he offers. Here's further evidence that writing is determined by our gray matter: Carol and Stephen offer the case of a friend with a brain injury who can no longer get her top loop closed in making an / or g or h in cursive. We are, apparently) what we write. Carol stresses that it's not any one letter that helps her reach a conclusion, but rather a consistent pattern. "You have to see it at least three different places in three different ways before you make a judgment," she says. Its also important to know that the identification of a characteristic does not necessarily predict actual behavior. As an example, unchecked passion can be a negative. But combine* with diplomacy and intelligence, it can be a powerful, positive trait. Speaking of positive, the graphoanalysis code of ethics says that handwriting reports should be help

tat does penmanship say about Vermont's top pols? Con Hogan is the only person to submit a sample in totally cursive writing — he sees the world connected. His thinking is fluid and he is open to ideas. He moves from one thought pattern to another easily and effectively, trying to maintain organization and balance. Con solves problems by interpreting facts, separating them, breaking them down and organizing them. He feels deeply and his emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart-rending stories. Con has the ability to get along equally well with many

VOjOiA^

BY KIRT ZIMMER ful, even altruistic. Stephen and Carol attend a number of workshops through their affiliation with the graphoanalysis society and see this intention in action. "You meet a lot of people who can tell you that you're an axe murderer, and do it in a nice way," Stephen says with a laugh. < .' And what better subjects for a handwriting investigation than Vermont politicians? All of whose hands revealed, not surprisingly, healthy egos, Stephen reports. Seven Days gave the six men two weeks to accomplish a fairly simple task: writing two pages on their teenage years. They were asked to use blank paper and sign their names at the end. Only one candidate — Con Hogan — followed all the directions precisely, but eventually five of the six got the job done. Brian Dubie, Republican candidate for governor, chose not to» participate, so you'll have to draw your own conclusions about that. Before the analysis even began, it was clear we were looking at five very different men. Jim Douglas wrote — printed, actually — entirely in blocky capital letters. "When people print they don't want you to know about them," suggests Stephen. Douglas also started his essay confidendy, with the phrase, "I WAS PRESIDENT OF MY SENIOR CLASS IN H I G H SCHOOL." He then went on to tell a story in which he exhibited leadership, made a bold decision, saved the day and made everyone happy. Doug Racine told how he used a family connection to attend an Ivy League school, leading to other successes. Con Hogan took the romantic approach, waxing poetic about days spent on the New Jersey shore, and he displayed the most flamboyant handwriting in this pack. Peter Shumlin admitted that he used to shoot rats, but found saving the environment to be a more fulfilling vocation. Anthony Pollina offered the most dramatic tale, mixing together assassinations, rock 'n' roll and "dark and deserted streets." Gripping stuff. If politics doesn't work out for these gentlemen, perhaps they can find success as novelists. Now, on to the graphoanalysis, with comments courtesy of Carol and Stephen. Whether or not you take this seriously, it's at least entertaining. One caveat: No voter should make a decision based exclusively upon how a candidate crosses his t's. Not unless you see those dumbbells. ®

different kinds of people, loves reaching out to people — though he does show some secrecy toward others. You'll see a little impatience in his i dots. Con is a man in motion with a lot going on. So perhaps the secrecy is a kind of protection. His goals are nearly visionary. He sets very high goals and is determined to achieve them. He is self-confident and quite enthusiastic. His writing also reveals that perhaps he'd rather say nothing and keep a little to himself than say it all. When letters drop off toward the end or reach out horizontally, that's a kind of generosity — we only saw that in Cons writing. He has the ability to do many different things well. Con possesses skill and manual dexterity. His is were all dotted carefully.

Douglas Racine

has the ability to concentate or focus on one thing at a time; he sticks to a task. His very concentrated writing — straight and small and intense — suggests he pays attention to detail, to a subject. He shows the S) * x most open-mindC r ^ ^ ^ T V T J ^ ^ ^ ^ edness. = /»H npcc The Thp writ™rrif-_ i' /'/ ' ing is frank and /J clean. This is coupled with an analytical, investigative spirit and a real sense of purpose — these are his major strengths as seen in his writing. He is basically ruled by judgment and prefers a logical, practical approach to problem-solving. He listens to others and is open to ideas and opinions, more so if presented in an emotionally detached manner. His fluidity of thought and talkativeness and his ability to concentrate are also strong assets. His writing shows an aptitude for speaking and writing. He has the skills necessary to communicate ideas. Self-confidence and pride, especially as seen in his signature, are limits to his ability to achieve. His signature is twice as big as the writing; it says, "I'm Doug Racine and I feel great about myself." His last name is unintelligible but his first name is very clear. That suggests he is more interested in himself than in his family history or name. Doug's goals are reasonable, very attainable. His outlook is optimistic. He has a "latent" imagination — the opposite of a vivid imagination.

Jim Douglas is a diplomat. He has the ability to say things in such a way as not to offend, and he'll do this in a quiet and level-headed manner. His writing shows a sharp mind interested in order and balance, beauty, design and symmetry. He uses judgment to make decisions and his conclusions are made without too much outside emotional influence. He sets his goals at an attainable level. He will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. Jim's thinking is fluid, and he presents his ideas clearly and effortlessly. His mind seems to shift easily from one idea to another, so he is well-suited to meet changing conditions quite easily. Even though he wrote in kind of a printing, he didn't dot one i. It's all capitals, so maybe it doesn't matter, but I found it amaz—.~r"— ing that on a whole page there wasn't one i dotted. Jim signed on an upward slant and underlined it with gusto.

Peter Shumlin's writing shows that he faces the world with a level head and a sympathetic heart. He maintains a balance in his emotional and rational attachment to the world. His decisions are based on facts, although compassion helps guide his thoughts. He's caring enough to use emotions as a part of his problem-solving and practical enough to come up with a solution.

He appears to be a rapid and spontaneous writer who thinks fast and investigates rapidly. Direct and decisive, Peter shows a desire to get things done — day-to-day nuts and bolts. He is proud of himself and of his accomplishments. Like the other candidates, he likes talking about himself — you can see it in the open d's. He is talkative and probably won't hold back his honest opinion. He is loyal to his ideas, philosophies and friends. But he is close-minded; his mind is made up and that's that. Peter's goals are planned, manageable and down-to-earth, and he possesses the needed determination to achieve them. His above-average attention to detail helps him realize his ambitions. In his signature, his last name trails off — not as much attachment to family name. T h e way the one t is crossed shows a little bit of stubbornness.

Life Transitions For many people, September is a transitional month where we often experience unexpected emotions (a transition is a passing from one stage to another). Some children enter school for the first time. Others leave home for college or career. After years of parental supervision, other people will now influence our children. Parents can feel lonely and reluctant to let go. Another kind of transition that happens unexpectedly in our lives is the loss of a job. The resulting financial instability is devastating and brings up feelings of anger, fear and anxiety. Still another transition occurs when there is a divorce or death in the family. Children often struggle to find their place while living with a new blended family or a single parent. Feelings of sadness, loneliness and confusion are common. As children move away from home, parents begin to focus on their own retirement. Suddenly their own parents and inlaws need care: We now become guardians of our own parents. This stage is difficult as it brings up past feelings of joy or grief from our childhood. Whatever transitions our feelings go through, we need to find healthy outlets. Some people find it through talking to a friend, keeping a journal or even through exercising. It helps to express emotions rather than keeping them to ourselves. If you need additional support to sort through your feelings, professional help is always available.

RESERVATIONS Chairman Drumheller & Co. must surely hope Boettcher will serve as a sacrificial lamb on the tickets@stowetheatre.com altar of public opinion.

For registered nurse Maura Malone, however, "It's not a new day." Ms. Malone works in the maternity ward. She's been at the Mary Fanny for 10 years. She told Seven Days her retirement package is currently worth about $21,000. At that rate, Malone would have Vermont National Country Club to keep working at her job for September 23rd 2002 another 350 years to get a retirement plan equal to the one Boss SPONSORED BY: SptTUt StOTG The PCS Center Bill earned in just four years.

"Four years ago," noted Malone, "that's what they said about Bill Boettcher. Give him a chance." Four years ago, they did. Dubie Gets Bizarre — Still no call back from Brian Dubie, the GOP candidate for Lite-Gov. We wanted to get his take on Republican cheerleader James Dwinell s Web site, which has been publishing outrageous claims about the sexual behavior of Democrats, including one of Dubie's opponents. So far, Skip Vallee is the only Republican leader to criticize Dwinell's new political gutter. But Dubie did go on "True North" on WKDR-AM last Friday for what became a rather bizarre appearance. The Doobster claimed yours truly had called his campaign office last week and "hassled his volunteer mothers." Actually we left a voice mail asking for an interview. Then Doobie-Doo claimed we had called him on September 11 when he was with his family in

meritorious service medal from a three-star general, Dubie suddenly lost it and emotionally broke down. The host quickly went to commercial. A Vermont First — Ever hear of free political advertising? Sounds like an oxymoron, but it's about to become a reality in Vermont. That's because Vermont Public Television is offering all 10 candidates for governor free airtime to get their message out to the voters. According to VPT s Joe Merone, the candidates have been invited to drop by the Fort Ethan Allen studio to.tape four oneminute "candidate commentaries" on the topics of the economy, education, health care and their number-one priority. The spots will air on VPT throughout October. Cool. Media Notes — What a treat it was to catch the Walter Cronkite of Vermont TV news playing panelist with a point of view on "Vermont This Week" over the weekend. WCAX-TV's Marselis Parsons has been a familiar TV face in the Green Mountains since 1967. This is his fifth decade on television. On week nights Marsillyiss reads the news off his teleprompter, but on VTW, he'was able to tell viewers what; J^e, really thinks..JMo duipmy is he. :* How about his take on Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Douglas' appeal to conservative Republicans? "I mean, he sure was wishywashy on civil unions and gay marriage and issues that were important to them," said Parsons. "The only thing I think I've ever heard him say strongly is that he was pro-choice." Wishy-washy? Ouch! And how about Marsillyiss' opinion of his favorite socialist — Congressman Bernie Sanders? Looks like more than two decades of journalistic head-butting has our Cronkite singing OF Bernardo's praises. "He's a wall," said Parsons. "He's insurmountable. Bernie's constituent work is good. He's come around so he's no longer viewed as the anti-military-establishment person. Veterans' groups like him for a number of things that he has done. If I were a Republican I might say, let's concentrate on the Douglas-Dubie possibilities and recognize reality. Why throw a whole lot of money for Bill Meub?" Hey, get this guy a newspaper column! And speaking of newspapers, Colchester has a brand-new one, the Colchester Sun, launched by publishers Emerson and Angelo Lynn.

I'l^H-

Dear Mr. Cohen: The media claims your new company, Team X, bucks apparel industry trends by paying its workers a living wage with benefits and quality working conditions to boot. But I know what you're really up to. While benevolent capitalism is most admirable, particularly in the face of offshore sweatshops, it's just part of a larger story that has eluded most cultural observers.

Sellers: Bring instruments to Eiiey-Long Music Center on Thursday, September 19 between 9 a.m. & 8 p.m.

Given our nation's well established shift from an industrial to a service economv. this "manufacturing" thing you're doing...it's like totally retro! But it's miles beyond the tired 1970s, Remember Charlie's Angels and bell-bottoms? retro. Rather, your industrial retro harkens back to a time when Americans made things besides weapons and brand identities.

Buyers: Friday, September 20 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, September 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. sponsored by

Until now, the retro movement has been locked in post-war myopia. I've spent years waiting for a new decade to fetishize. I want a Missouri Compromise lunch box; a "Dred Scott Decision: Not!" bumper sticker; Dust Bowl Days Handi-wjpes, Eugene Debs overalls, the list goes on. But all I seem to get these days are Hello Kitty backpacks. Atari T shirts, and one bad Star Wars film after another.

TRUE COLORS? Even a full year after 9/11, the music industry is still trying, and Finding it necessary, to deal with the events of that dark day. Colors is the title of the latest release aimed at plucking the heartstrings of the American public. Boasting the tagline "a nation strong, a single song," the project features one artist from each state contributing lyrics to a song written to honor those killed in the terrorist attacks. Penned by Minnesota songwriter Christopher Moon, who has written for the likes of Prince and MC Hammer, "Colors" is a hokey little pop number full of flag-waving braggadocio. Written "for the terrorists," the song aims to portray Americas diversity and undying strength: "Red is for the heros' blood that's fallen on this land," "Blue is for the brighter day our children will all see," etc. The chorus of the song consists of the laughably predictable couplet, "Our colors are many, but they all add up to one/these colors may bleed, but these colors won't run." Now if that doesn't make you a little teary... Moon claims to have received contributions from "thousands" of artists across the country who were interested in the project. After a couple of months, he had whittled the list down to the chosen 50. Vermont's take on "Colors" comes courtesy of acoustic rocker Chad Hollister. Recorded at Mt. Hollywood Studios — in Mt.

Holly, Vermont — Colors was transformed by Hollister and collaborator Rick Reddington into a bongo-driven folk-pop tune. Their acoustic guitar licks, along with Hollister's gruff vocals, are catchy and well recorded yet can't begin to justify the horribly cliched, nationalistic lyrics.

Colors the album has been released as a three-disc box set containing all 50 versions of the song. Not intended for profit, the album is being sold — at cost — online at www.pro5.com/colors. And not to worry, folks, copies have been sent to the president. Luckily, Hollister is not letting his entire rep ride on the Colors project. This summer the Burlington resident released his second full-length CD, entitled Life. It contains 11 tunes, written by Hollister himself. Want more info? Visit www.chadmusic.com. DRIVE-IN SATURDAY The omnipresent music Web site Big Heavy World brings rock 'n' roll to the silver screen this Saturday at the "Punk Rock Drive-In." Fourteen bands will provide some head-banging punk and alt-rock for the daylong festival, held at the St. Albans cinema.

The event also serves as a U.S. C D release party for the romantically named Canadian rockers

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv L Y L E K I N G , LEFT STANDING (Limelite Records, C D ) — Lyle King is the latest in a line of talented singef-songwriters to emerge f r o m the Burlington music scene. T h o u g h just 21, he's already a veteran of the local circuit and has played with the likes of Chris Titchner and Sunday Rain Dog. Left Standing is King's first solo C D , following last year's cassette-only In the Spotlight. W i n n e r of the 2001 Advance Music Acoustic Guitar Search, King is indeed a deft guitarist; he peppers his light acoustic pop tunes with superbly understated six-string flourishes. But he also allows the songs on Left Standing to breathe. M a n y of the cuts feature a full band — or at least multiple guitars played by King — yet they still s o u n d clean and sparse. As a songwriter, King sticks mostly to mid-tempo love songs that showcase f both his guitar chops and his tender, smooth vocals. Aided by friends such as Arthur Adams, Titchner and Mailbox's Irving Rabin, King fills his tunes with sub-

dued guitars backing King's cleverly catchy melodies. "Where I Belong," which features Adams on piano and backing vocals, is a p o p p y cut that provides an u p - t e m p o alternative to the brooding bulk of the di-sc, yet the piano/guitar jumble sounds awkward and forced. Here lies King's personal Catch22. Left Standing makes it clear that his strong suit is mellow, teary pop tunes. Yet over the course of an hour-long collection, it becomes hard to differentiate between them. However, whenever King attempts to break from this airy pattern, as on "Where I Belong" and "End of the Line," the listener ends u p yearning once again for the slower, mellow cuts. Left Standing succeeds more than

"Angel" and "Turn A r o u n d " continue down the same path, with subM A S O N J E N N I N G S , CENTURY SPRING (Architect Records, C D ) — I can't help but root for 27-year-old Mason Jennings. Picking up a guitar in grade school and abandoning his academic studies for the music dream by 19, his young career includes all the trimmings of a bright talent doing it right. Two prior successful releases, a few years of touring, a fervent fan base and a tally of nearly 300 original songs have attracted the inevitable flirtations and courtship from several major labels. Century Spring, a finely woven meditation on love, is proof that the singer-songwriter knows sincerity. T h e lean, 32-minute, 10-track album shows his preference for the slow train ride of life, at his own pace, and a simple dismissal of the fast flight to fortune and fame. "I talked to a lot of major labels and no one was interested in artistic development," explained the Pittsburgh native in a recent p h o n e interview f r o m his longtime h o m e town of Minneapolis. Architect Records was thus conceived to develop this release, allowing Jennings his first significant c h u n k of time in a studio to work on his sound. "I wanted Century Spring to feel very natural and honest," continues Jennings about his latest effort, adding that his lofty goal was to write the perfect love song with a simple spirit and clean, acoustic sound. "I believe in honesty and beauty," he states; "that is what I am striving for in m y music." Jennings has accomplished just that on Century Spring, a brilliant stroke of the prime colors of traditional American music with fresh approaches to simple arrangement. This album entwines catchy p o p songs with brave ballads and sweet lullabies, all about love. T h o u g h not too strictly thematic, it deals with new romantic love and secondarily the fabric of faith amidst heartache, uncertainty and the shadow of death. "Living in the M o m e n t , " the upbeat opener, draws m e in with Jennings' lyrics on c o m i n g to life: "A lonely dreamer, a non-believer/now

with Naomi G. Drag Cabaret Doors Open at 8PM Show at 9PM No Cover

I'm living in the m o m e n t with the friends I love." H e continues in John Mayer-like fashion, articulating unique perspectives while employing everyday observations on the m e m o rable "Sorry Signs on Cash Machines." O n e of my favorites lines of the album comes here: "I need something I can feel, cigarettes and a driving wheel/and oh my god when you cross your legs beside me." " N e w York City" is a simple love song that skillfully uses the metaphor of a "place for a person. "Dewey Dell" comes near the end of a designated Side A. ("I think it's hard to listen to [an album] all at once," rationalizes Jennings of the old-school format.) T h e song is a soft lullaby that reminds m e of former tour mate and serious MJ fan Jack Johnson. Both "Forgiveness" and "Killer's Creek" are a little vanilla and have taken me.more time to appreciate. T h e title track, however, is a swelling a n d t r i u m p h a n t proclamation of romantic love, c h a m p i o n i n g the cause with lyrics such as " T h r o u g h our love there runs a century spring/what we've got is all we'll ever need." Just when you think you get his sound, Jennings shoots the aptly titled "Bullet" into the middle of the album as a bright and playful talking blues tune about nothing in particular. "I t h i n k it's i m p o r t a n t to put something different in the middle," admitted Jennings of his tendency to stick a stunner somewhere in the mix. Soon after comes "East of Eden," a slow, swaying song that offers warm, soaked tones and a riff so good it made m e want t o drop everything and walk outside to catch a late s u m m e r breeze on m y face. W i t h pieces of musical and lyrical brilliance reminiscent of work by Bob Dylan, Nick Drake and Lou Reed, Century Spring approaches the topic of love in the way a child stares with unabashed w o n d e r into the eyes of a stranger. Jennings appears at Higher G r o u n d with M a t t N a t h a n s o n next Monday, September 23. — Jeremy Kent

Big Bang

Detail of " A r e a Not Photographed by National G e o g r a p h i c , " by Lynn Rupe

BY MARC AWODEY

ynn Rupe seems to have exploded. The Burlington artist's exhibition of five large-scale acrylic works at the Flynn Center's Amy E. Tarrant Gallery is densely packed with thousands of lines and a universe of lively shapes that seem to have all been created in a single big bang. The show is entitled "Kaleidoscopic Paintings," and it can safely be called one of the most dynamic visual-art performances seen locally in many years. But unlike the apocalyptic event that probably kicked off our cosmos, Rupe's genesis has not occurred in a vacuum. She has been making, large pieces out of groupings of smaller ones for quite some time, and her brand of abstraction is often biomorphic — as is true with passages in this show. Rupe's work is also influenced by art history, at least indirectly. The kaleidoscopic paintings are composed very much like Jackson Pollock's pre-drip abstractions of 1940-1946. She works over the large panels she paints on with a series of brash, bright staccato statements, allowing little breathing space.

"Kaleidoscopic Paintings" can safely be called one.

of the most dynamic visual art performances our area has seen in many years.

in this show are as wild as the rails of a rollercoaster, provide structure for a chaotic field of jagged forms. "Area Not Photographed by National Geographic" is a twisted and flattened 80-by-l 53inch landscape. Teacups on saucers float down a river and into a choppy blue bay, but most of the features in the painting are less comprehensible. Rupe writes in her artist's statement that she is primarily painting "an array of images that resist straightforward interpretation," and she holds true to that even when a few literal elements sneak into the picture. One of those elements is a checkerboard pattern — a recurring motif in the works. It is very loose along the top edge of "Area Not Photographed by National Geographic" but more solid in "General Scrimmage" and "A Night at the Lackawanna Opera and Spa.". "General Scrimmage" also has jagged, saw-toothed patterns throughout it that form a nice counterpoint to the checkerboard. The checkerboard is most prominent in "Family Terrarium" and it's yellow and black rather than black and white. Perhaps it's a subtle allusion to gaming, and to the notion that Rupe's works are, in her words, "puzzles that have no need to be solved.'" There's a strong element of play and playfulness in the works. The more time a viewer spends examining Rupe's paintings', the more new details are revealed. V Although it may be impossible to say whether any 21st-century artist can "boldlv go where no one has gone before," it is clear that Rupe's paintings have taken a very productive turn. When Pollock's work began to completely fill the picture plane with gestural forms, he became enamored with drip painting — a technique he learned from David Siqueros — and Rupe's epiphany will certainly lead her into a different direction eventually. She is not the sort of painter who is content to rest on accolades and settle into production work. Meanwhile, it's got to be fun to paint like this, and we all get to enjoy the ride. ®

Her colors are raw and flat, like the colors of the aisles of a supermarket. Rupe's 67-by-160-inch "M. L. Pandora's Warehouse and Furniture Company" has a color harmony similar to Pollack's "Circumcision" yellows, grays and reds dominate the scene. Similarly, her use of black and white outlines, which

Anni-Kristina Juuso in Cuckoo

show and telluride You can find Spain, Italy, Russia, Brazil and Scotland in western New Hampshire this week during "Telluride at Dartmouth," the Hopkins Center's annual showcase of unreleased independent and foreign film fare. The programmed six films are diverse selections from the famed Colorado festival, which took place earlier this month. Thd Hanover event allows serious cineastes to preview acclaimed work that may or may not eventually open at Montpelier's Savoy Theater or the Nickelodeon in Burlington. On Friday the international movie bazaar actually begins with a domestic documentary, the Cannes-award-winning Bowling for Columbine. Controversial director Michael Moore of Roger and Me fame — and author of the current bestseller Stupid White Men — explores Americas pervasive gun culture in the customary ambush style of journalism he once used to great effect on NBC's "TV Nation." The subjects of his provocative interviews range from National Rifle Association spokesmodel Charlton Heston to Goth rocker Marilyn Manson. Pedro Almodovar's up to his old off-beat tricks in Talk to Her, a comedy-drama

screening Saturday, about two men in love with women who each happen to wind up in a coma. In 1999 the Spanish auteurs Oscar-winning All About My Mother showed that his typically wacky, gender-bending sex farces can also be sentimental. Geraldine Chaplin and choreographer Pina Bausch star in the latest venture. Both Respiro and Cuckoo — on the Dartmouth schedule for Sunday and Monday, respectively — fell through the cracks at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, where the Hollywood publicity juggernaut sometimes obscures smaller pictures. Even wonderful creative endeavors can have difficulty capturing any strong "buzz" when dozens of celebrities are in town to hawk their high-profile projects. Respiro is set on the Italian island of Lampedusa — the kind of place that probably hasn't changed much over the centuries. A fisherman's wife and mother of three, Grazia (Valeria Golino, best known in the U.S. for Rain Man), experiences devastating mood swings. Townsfolk determine she should be sent to Milan for treatment. One of her sons, the pre-pubescent Pasquale (Francesco Casisa), decides to protect her

from this fate by staging an apparent suicide. Writer-director Emanuele Crialese has crafted a modern-day fable that is, in fact, based on a Lampedusa legend. It's got the grit of a neo-realist classic, despite a surprisingly positive outlook. Golino delivers a magnificent performance without resorting to clich^d depictions of mental illness. Cuckoo, a World War II saga by Alexander Rogozhkin, features another unusual female lead. Anni (Anni-Kristina Juuso) is a widowed reindeer farmer in Lapland — not exactly a common character on the big screen — who takes in two forlorn soldiers. Veiko (Ville Haapasalo) is a young Finnish man who has been forced to fight for the Nazis but is left to die when they discover he's a pacifist. Ivan (Victor Bychkov), a captain in the Russian army, is wounded when a Soviet plane accidentally bombs his Jeep. The trio speaks three different languages, but that doesn't stop these characters from chattering away — as if by sheer insistence their monologues will somehow help the others comprehend. Much of the film's humor is derived from the misunderstandings that arise in this situation. The ideolog-

ical Ivan persists in calling the sweet-natured Veiko a fascist. Jealousy also becomes a factor. After four years without a husband, the earthy Anni, an herbalist and something of a shaman, wouldn't mind a little canoodling. Fernando Meirelles' City of God, which chronicles survival in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, focuses on an aspiring photographer trying to escape the gang warfare and drug trade that dominate his neighborhood from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Even the youngest children are doomed in this Brazilian tragedy — showing Tuesday — about life and death on the violent city streets. Leaving behind the desperation of South American poverty, on Wednesday Morvern Callar offers an intense glimpse of Scottish working-class angst. The title role belongs to brilliant thespian Samantha Morton, who played a waterlogged "precog" in Minority Report. Here she's a grocery clerk on a reckless European holiday — after taking credit for the manuscript for a novel left behind when her boyfriend kills himself. With a certain cachet beyond its Celtic credentials, Lynne Ramsay's dark road movie might make a drive down 1-89 worthwhile. (?)

THE P U Z Z L E •

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them—how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.) When calling to someone Fannie yells YO rather than HEY. She won't kick you in the BUTT but she'll goose you in the CAN. Her mean streak makes her want to BOO rather than CHEER. When it comes to ancient Egyptian royalty, NEFERTITI loses out to TUT. The Scot in her says WEE rather than LITTLE. As a kid she found POOH relaxing but PIGLET was high-strung. In Caesar's famous line

Et tu, Brute?" she likes the TU but not the BRUTE.

She'd rather clean up the GOO in her kitchen than the GUNK. In the old cartoons she's more tickled by TOM than JERRY. Fannie likes to get off her fanny and GO rather than VEGETATE. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: MEDIUM. If you're stuck, see the upside-down HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 43a. So much for Fickle Fannies tastes this week. Next week she'll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes. juieSe jeip Xes ubd noA : X H I H 3INNVJ 3 D O I d

ONE HOUR PHOTO*** 1/2 "The thing we fear most has already happened." In the independent production One Hour Photo, Robin Williams plays an oddball film developer who mans the photomat in a vast, sterile Wal-Mart-like shopping complex. He's become obsessed with an upscale, picture-perfect family whose prints he's been processing for so long he's come to believe he's part of it. When the young wife drops off a roll one afternoon, the clerk notices she's carrying the hardcover copy of a book by Deepak Chopra. He buys the paperback edition and whips it out when he bumps into her in the big box's food court a few days later. He reads her the above quote and, for the Jirst time, it seems, she realizes he's a human being with a life, dreams and a mind. What she won't realize until later in the film is the significance the quote holds for the soft-spoken figure and what kind of damage has been done to that mind. Music-video auteur-turned-feature director Mark Romanek makes an impressive debut with the saga of Sy Parrish, a character who merits a place among cinematic archetypes like Travis Bickle, Rupert Pupkin and Fatal Attractions Alex Forest — complex figures that embody specific malfunctions in the modern psyche. Sy isn't what he seems, either to the movie's other characters or to the audience. A pasty-faced, mild-mannered loner, he's all smiles and professionalism when greeting his favorite customer and her son, but otherwise he's absent-minded and withdrawn. His boss has his eye on him due to the fact that someone in the department is making more prints than are being paid for. An entire wall in Sy's bleak apartment, we learn, is covered with photos of his favorite family, from shots of the couple's wedding to pictures of their son's most recent birthday party. When these don't do the trick, he likes to park his car across the street from the Yorkins' designer home and bring them into focus with the help of his telephoto lens — not to take snapshots but rather to take in their lives as a never-ending Kodak moment. Now, anyone viewing this sort of creepy, big-screen behavior has a pretty good idea where things are heading. Especially given the following: The story is being told in flashback by a handcuffed Williams from a police interrogation room. "Sy the photo guy," as the Yorkin boy refers to him, has developed a pathological hatred of the father after processing photos that show him engaging in behavior Parrish considers detrimental to the family's best interests. Williams turns in a tightly wound, highly watchable performance, but the thing that raises One Hour Photo above standard crazy-stranger fare is the script. Romanek deserves credit for making the story's actual outcome every bit as plausible — and possibly more shocking than — the one the audience is likely to expect. While he may have lifted his premise in part from Thomas Harris (the psycho in Red Dragon is a film processor who selects victims from among the families depicted in photos he develops) and borrows from both Kubrick and Lynch stylistically, there's no denying that the young filmmaker's work stands on its own. The director and star do variously disturbing and darkly comic work and, in the figure of Sy Parrish, they develop one of recent cinema's saddest and most vivid portraits. (Z)

Welcome to the version of our game in which you get to catch up on your reading. While you're savoring the paragraphs below, keep an eye open for the titles of 15 motion pictures that we've woven into the literature. Tom and Roseanne Arnold were once king and queen of the entertainment world. The ascent of the comedienne was swift and, once she made it big, every day seemed to be April Fool's Day for the couple. The two were always showing up in tabloid headlines as a result of one stunt or another. What Roseanne achieved as a comic artist went far above and beyond her wildest childhood dreams. The act which turned America against the performer took place at a baseball game one hazy August evening. It had always been a secret ambition of the entertainer to sing the American anthem in front of a large crowd. Anguish followed in the aftermath of her bringing that dream to fruition. Today Tom Arnold is married to another woman and Roseanne is confined to an asylum in southwestern California where, reportedly, she spends her nights shrieking the phrase, "Next to me, you people are ants!" over and over at the top of her lungs. 9.

GIVE THE PROF AN F In the August 28 article titled "Plagiarism 101," the ignorance and attitude of Dr. Nancy E. Welch, Associate Professor of English at UVM, totally blew my mind. She asks: "Did Bill Gates ever write any piece of software? Maybe, but that's not what built Microsoft." HAHAHA! I couldn't stop laughing. (No, his secretary did it!) Gates started writing programs at age 13; wrote the program for the first microcomputer while at Harvard. In 1975, when Gates was 20, he started Microsoft with his two buddies. In 1981, the tiny company developed DOS for IBM's first PC. So, to answer your query, Doctar Welch, yes and yes. As for your attitude re plagiarism, it scares me that you are teaching our children. You not only condone plagiarism but openly admit, as a UVM professor and in a public newspaper, that you wrote your brother's papers and you think that is okay because he's "a dot-com millionaire." I wonder who wrote papers for Enron Chairman Ken Lay or CEO Jeff Skilling? Ask them and they'll probably plead the Fifth. The public demands integrity, Dr. Welch. Plagiarism is stealing. You need to teach your students ethics. First ethics, then English. But, before you can do that, you need to teach yourself. — Mimi Hungerford Burlington

Cecil, What's up with menopause? As a woman in her late fortiess experiencing hot flashes and other signs of the looming cessation of menstruation, I'm wondering why women lose the ability to reproduce while men retain it, at least theoretically, until death. Not that I'm going to miss the pill, tampons, etc., but there's a lack of symmetry here that bothers my sense of aesthetics. Please advise. — Kitty Phelan Chicago I know it doesn't seem fair, ma'am, but look at the bright side. Would you rather be part of the primary target demographic for Viagra? There used to be a comforting theory about menopause. In a famous 1957 paper, evolutionary biologist George C. Williams argued that meno-pause differed from other consequences of old age, such as failing eyesight and wrinkles, in that (a) it happened relatively early in life, usually around the half-century mark, and (b) it was inevitable regardless of how much attention a woman paid to her health. What's more, he said, it seemed to be unique to humans. Other female mammals, most notable other female primates, were capable of bearing children till the end. Williams explained this apparent oddity by claiming that menopause, far from being a sign of decrepitude, was actually a positive evolutionary adaptation. A postmenopausal woman could see her progeny through to maturity without fear that she'd die in childbirth after a late pregnancy. Others elaborated on this idea, noting that a postmenopausal woman could assist in raising her grandchildren and serve as a repository of tribal knowledge besides. This "granny effect," as it came to be known, was seen as one of the crucial factors that had enabled humanity to pull itself out of the swamps, right up there with the harnessing of fire. Charming though it was, the granny hypothesis suffered from certain defects. The most obvious was that until the 20th century menopause wasn't just the time when a woman ceased ovulating; it was more or less the time when she died. Average age at menopause today is 51; average

life expectancy in 1900 had only reached 47. In other words, during most of evolutionary history, the average woman had enough eggs to last a lifetime. Anthropological research has turned up little support for the granny effect, and theoretical models suggest that, notwithstanding the social benefits of nonchildbearing grandmothers, more offspring would survive if women just kept having babies. To many eyes, the final blow for the granny effect was a 1998 paper by University of Minnesota ecologist Craig Packer, who refuted the idea that only human females go through menopause. Menopause occurs in a number of other mammalian species, including dogs, rabbits, elephants, whales, etc, and may well be a trait of all mammalian females. What's more, the timing of menopause in other species suggests why it occurs when it does in humans, despite increased life expectancy. Female baboons experience a decline in fertility after age 21; few live past 26 or 27. But since a baboon takes only six years to reach puberty, that's O K — the young will be grown before the mother dies. Similarly, female lions become markedly less fertile after age 13 and are usually dead by 18 — again OK, from the standpoint of the species, because a

T A M E S

lion cub reaches puberty at three. Turning to our own kind, women experience reproductive decline after 40 and until modern times typically died in their 50s, but their kids reach puberty at around 11... you get the picture. Female mammals remain fertile long enough to be able to raise their young before they die, and no longer. Packer and his associates went on to examine survival rates among lions with living grandmothers versus those without. They found no granny effect. O n the contrary, grandma lions enhanced the survival of their prides offspring only if they hadn't yet gone through menopause and could help suckle their daughters' cubs while raising more of their own. See Packer's summary at www.lionresearch.org/current/me nopause.html. Granny effect proponents haven't given up. Anthropol-ogist Kristen Hawkes has studied an African tribe called the Hadza whose survival depends on grandmothers who forage for food while mothers breast-feed their infants. So the argument isn't over. But for now it appears menopause doesn't mark your graduation to some higher stage of nurturing; it just means you've gotten old.

what about bob? Bob is a rooster who's been hanging around the henhouse for so long he thinks he's a chicken. Until Henrietta the cat sets him straight, that is. "You need to stop clucking and learn how to crow," she tells him. "That's what roosters do." Young readers discover how Bob finds his true calling — and a few others — and ends up saving the day in Bob, a new picture book written and illustrated by Tracey Campbell Pearson. The Jericho resident will be on hand to sign books and help celebrate all things Bob in a benefit for her hometown library. Bob Day. Saturday, September 2 1 .

Author of The Making of a Cook, the 1971 classic that remains required reading for every epicurean, Kamman has also run a four-star restaurant, hosted a PBS show and started a culinary school. Francophiles and foodies mix it up at a fundraiser for the fledgling Alliance Fran^aise of the Lake Champlain Region, where Kamman — now retired and living in Vermont — celebrates her roots with slides and traditional dishes from the historic French province of Savoie.

But when Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone team up, it's like "eavesdropping on a conversation between two very close friends who happen to be fluent in several languages," as one critic put it. Burton, one of the all-time vibes greats, has won multiple Grammys and played with the likes of Chick Corea and Stan Getz. He discovered masterful Japanese pianist Ozone 20 years ago, and the two have been making magic ever since. They'll play interpretations of standards sprinkled with classical, bossa nova and tango tunes. Gary Burton & Makoto Ozone. Friday, September 20. Paramount Theatre, Rutland. 8 p.m. $ 2 0 25.

It is a two- to three-foot wooden device once commonly used by Native Americans for chucking "darts" — in their case spears up to six feet long. Atlatl competitions apparently take place all over the world; one Chimney Point contestant came all the way from Germany. There were also a "squaw" and two "braves" wearing no pants. Instead, they wore long hide shirts which covered their privates, and long leather boots and garters. And I thought you had to go to the city to see that! Though I didn't enter the competition, I did exert myself in the practice section. I lined up with mostly young boys and waited until I received the signal to enter the firing zone. I loaded my dart and sailed it into the grass as my competitors swiftly nailed the target. OK, it's harder than it looks. But on the other hand, looking at an atlatl event is about as exciting as watching golf: Hit ball, ball go in hole. Launch dart, dart go in target. That's why I left early, and can't say who the ultimate champions of this competition were. But before departing I spoke with atlatl and dart craftsman Bob Berg, who chooses not to compete because he afso finds it boring. H e r o e s however, hunt wild boar. One time he was with a film crew in Pennsylvania — documenting, in fact, a hunt with atlatls — and the first dart went into a boar's rear end. The enraged beast charged the crew, but luckily there was a real Native American on hand who hurled his tomahawk and nailed the hog right in the skull. Wow. "Why do you do it?" I asked Berg. "That's some of the best sausage I ever saw," he replied, "and you can quote me on that." So I did. — Brooke Clover

BY ROB BREZSNY

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): N o more sour desserts for you, Aries. N o more lovable danger or stylish sickness, either. In fact, once you get the hang of rejecting all the double binds that have squeezed you recently, I predict you'll also say no to crippling luxuries, barren discipline, stupid truths, wasteful desires and irrelevant courage. T h e liberation that erupts in the wake of these rebellions will no doubt make you hornier than you've been in weeks.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Ready for a sneak preview of September, 2003? I predict that a physicist born under the sign of the Bull will discover the key to a commercially viable superconductor by next year at this time. In other words, he or she will create a motor that runs

far more efficiently and with dramatically greater power than existing technology allows. Free associate on that theme, Taurus, and you'll come up with an analogous prophecy for you and your own line of work or play. (PS. Now is a favorable time to intensify the research that'll lead to your momentous discovery.)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

You're ready to make the transition from plodding to soaring; from muttering confused criticisms to unleashing bright toasts; from indulging in heavy-handed acts of self-incrimination to whipping up giddy, weightless sensations. And to what do we owe this bracing turnaround in your fortunes? Probably the fact that the Era of Brazen Narcissism has arrived for you Geminis. During the coming weeks, ingenious displays of self-worship are not only permitted but encouraged. Can you stand even more good news? T h e cosmic omens suggest that you'll be able to round up hordes of devotees w h o are also eager to cclcbrate your clorv.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I think of you stewing

affecting everyone alive.

in your bottomless hunger, Cancerian. You almost remind me of an anorexic beauty queen or a fasting saint or a mother sparrow who can only find enough worms to feed her babies but not herself. And yet I know your longing is not a desperate craving for food. N o r is it a yearning for impossible love or superhuman power or unrealistic miracles. You're starving, you're ravenous, you're mad for something you don't have a name for yet — a real and achievable something whose existence you've just begun to tune into.

these poetic variations on the theme will inspire you to designate a new form of legal tender in the coming weeks. T h e cosmic omens suggest you'll be exceptionally creative whenever you turn your thoughts to financial matters. Here are some questions to guide your explorations. W h a t useful but undervalued beauty do you produce? Which of your unsung talents are finally ready to generate income? W h a t hidden assets or neglected treasures could you turn into sources of wealth?

L L U

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to the poet and scholar Robert Graves, the goddess Hecate

(July 23-Aug. 22): Those of

you who are allergic to sports may gag when I use baseball metaphors in your horoscopes. Sorry about that. But I do find that the macho rituals of millionaire athletes sometimes produce metaphors as vivid as the Greek myths. Anyway, the event around which I'm building this week's prophecy occurred in a baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and Florida Marlins. Top Giants slugger Barry Bonds (a Leo) broke his bat as he hit a pitch thrown by Josh Beckett. Normally, this is a humiliating event for the batter. It means the pitcher has fooled him. T h e ball doesn't travel very far or fast, and the batter is usually an easy out. Bonds has so much power, however, that the unthinkable happened in this case: T h e ball that splintered his bat into pieces soared over the fence for a home run. This is the operative metaphor for you in the coming week, Leo.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In

the course of h u m a n history, many other things have been used as money besides paper currency and precious metals. A m o n g them have been tulips, seashells. cows, velvet, tobacco, elephant rusks, beetle legs, cheese and giant stone wheels. I hope, Virgo, that

LIBRA

"presides at seedtime and childbirth; she grants prosperity, victory, plentiful harvests to the farmer and rich catches to the fisherman." O n the other hand, he notes, Hecate is the mistress of sorcery. She is the "goddess of ghosts and night-terrors, of phantoms and fearful monsters." H o w can a single deity embody such seemingly contradictory archetypes? Graves: She symbolizes "the unconscious in which beasts and monsters swarm. This is not the living hell of the psychotic, but a reservoir of energy to be brought under control, just as Chaos was brought to cosmic order under the influence of the spirit." In the coming weeks, Libra, Hecate will be your ally and guide.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, music critic Joel Selvin panned the

back from the brink. N o matter how cool you are, no matter how skilled or smart or attuned, don't beat people over the head with your magic and prowess.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ancient Greek philosopher Plato said he'd ban poets from his ideal society. Why? Because of their power to rouse unruly passions, for one thing. Plato feared that a poet's rhetorical skill could turn off his listeners' defenses and trick them into believing wild ideas — maybe even influence them to abandon behavioral norms. For instance, if I were a poet, I might try to inspire you to protest the widely accepted ugliness you see around you every day. I'd lure you into committing brash acts of beauty and truth, and incite you to fight tenderly for love and goodness, and coax you to tell everyone you know that evil is

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20):

O n c e upon a time, your fate got tangled up with the twisted destiny of a beautiful monster. Well, technically it was a person, but "beautiful monster" is an apt metaphor. From the start, the
