SUPPORT THIRD PARTY Ralph Nader is running for the President of the United States and his nomination is worthy of the sup port of Vermonters. His campaign of “People over Profit” is fundamentally different from that of the two major parties, which are now much alike in many ways. They are both very much beholden to corporate donors and both are reluctant to discuss issues that really matter, such as the increasing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few at the sacrifice of the environment, social justice and democratic sys tems. Ralph is not against profit. However, he does feel that business needs to be conducted in a responsi ble manner and as president will

work to help make this happen. Because of the dominance and control of the two major political parties over the debates and the media, we have come to think that third-party candidates are not viable options. However, in other periods of our country’s history, third par ties have played prominent roles. This happened when the Republican Party itself split off from the Whigs in 1854, and the Progressive Party (nicknamed the “Bull Moose Party”) split off from the Republicans in 1912. These and other third party movements played major roles in influencing our country’s directions. It is time once again to have a strong third party that will present issues that need to be discussed. Ralph Nader, with his lifelong devotion to fairness and equity, is a person who can do that. His vice presidential selection is Winona LaDuke, a Native American and environmental activist from Minnesota. She brings both a much-needed female and a Native American back ground to this leadership team.

Government in Action
A 19-year-old clerks plan to steal cash from the convenience store where he worked in Shawnee, Kansas, failed even though he put tape over the lens es of two security cameras before he called police to claim he had been robbed. He used transparent tape. When police arrived the clerk told them the robber ordered him to tape over the camera, but after reviewing the videotape, Shawnee police Lt. Mitch Brim said it “looks a little fuzzy, but I don’t see any robbery in there.” • Don D. Astorga, 31, was con victed of smuggling a dozen lizards from the Philippines to the United States by concealing them in his underwear. At Astorga’s trial, Las Vegas police Detective John Zidzik testified that he approached the defendant at McCarran International Airport because the man had “unusual bulges in his groin area not consistent with male anato my.” Zidzik searched Astorga and found 12 lizards, one a foot long, stuffed into several tube socks in Astorga’s underwear.
A $2.5 million project by New York City and IBM to create death certificates on-line was in disarray six months after its start up, The New York Times reported. The system recorded death dates that were earlier than birth dates and indicated some men were pregnant at the time of their deaths. “We simply don’t under stand what the problem is,” said Wilson Bebee, executive director of the Metropolitan Funeral Directors Association. • One day after a gas explosion in New York City killed Leonard and Harriet Walit in their Brooklyn home, city offi cials sent a letter to the dead husband demanding that he clean up the rubble. “The responsibility to take such action is yours,” said the letter, signed by Brooklyn borough building commissioner Tarek Zeid, “and because of the severi ty of the condition, the work must begin immediately.”
Big-Time Loser Zippy Chippy, the losingest horse in the recorded history of thoroughbred racing, put his 0and-86 record on the line against a human competitor, Jose
Herrera, 27, an outfielder for the Rochester Red Wings baseball team. Herrera got a quick start in the 40-yard sprint across the out field grass at Rochester’s Frontier Field and beat the 9-year-old gelding by three horse lengths. “I think 40 yards is too short for Zippy Chippy to win,” handicapper Dave Mattice told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. “If Herrera had to carry a jockey, it would be more fair.”
Boot-Scootin’ Boogie Roman Kunikov, an engineer ing professor at Russia’s Ufa Aviation Technical University, announced the invention of gaso line-powered boots, which he demonstrated can attain speeds of up to 25 mph and strides of 13 feet. Each boot weighs 2 pounds and incorporates a 1-foot-long piston that straps along the calf and fires downward, pushing a metal plate away from the bot tom of the shoe and lifting the wearer upward. Metal rods on the soles act as shock absorbers.
Beef with Sprouts Alaska’s Supreme Court ruled that Lawrence Allen, a pipeline worker in Prudhome Bay, is enti tled to disability benefits because he ate Brussels sprouts in a compa ny cafeteria. The Wall StreetJournal reported Allen later experienced severe gastric distress and had to be airlifted to Anchorage, where a doctor found two balls of undigest
ed food obstructing his small bowel. The doctor said the sprouts were probably the cause. The court accepted Allen’s argument that the only food he could eat was what his employer served him.
Get-Rich Schem e Yarneiser Perez, 25, admitted placing 153 calls to a friend’s psy chic line from a Jersey City, New Jersey, bank where he worked as a contractor. The calls, made over five months, totaled 546 hours and 30 minutes, costing the bank $163,614. Perez explained the psychic line in the Dominican Republic was owned by a friend, whose income he was helping to boost. “In many instances,” feder al prosecutors charged, “defen dant Perez left the phone off the hook for hours so that his friend at Teleamigos would receive greater compensation.”
cer at the Regional Justice Center in Kent, Washington, was sus pended for a month without pay after he admitted to sprinkling itching powder in the beds of four inmates. “He messed up,” facility commander Reed Holtgeerts said after the four vic tims filed grievances. • After Ivana Trump appeared on an Italian television program called “Scherzi A Parte,” which is similar to “Candid Camera,” she filed a $3 million lawsuit, charg ing that the show’s employees doused her with water without warning. She said the dousing ruined her $3000 dress, made her lose a pair of $25,000 ear rings and cost her $400 in med ical treatment. “She was not treated with respect on that show,” said Trump’s lawyer, Dan Harrigan.

Lost C ause When authorities in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, arrested Nancy Lee Anderson and her brother Terry Lee Anderson after finding 550,000 rounds of ammunition in their truck, the pair insisted they had no idea how they turned up in Mexico. They explained they had set out from Arkansas with their $440,000 cargo headed for Montana but must have made a wrong turn.

After taking a few days’ vaca tion, a woman in Covington, Georgia, returned to find that her neighbor and two others had used her apartment as their “own per sonal Wal-Mart,” police said, helping themselves to clothing, cleaning supplies, food, appli ances and furniture. “They need ed an iron, so they went and got hers,” Newton County police Lt. Ezel Brown said. “And they defi nitely had some very good meals at her expense.” ®

L NICE C U R V E S: It’s a whole new approach to highway “design.” Artists, not engineers, will pave the way for a public-works project in the Northeast Kingdom town of Danville. For 20 years, the picturesque burg has been at odds over plans to reroute its main thoroughfare. U.S. Route 2 passes directly through town, slowing through-traffic and dis rupting village life. “People don’t want a bypass, and yet they are wor ried about reconstructing the road through the town,” says Andrea Stander at the Vermont Arts Council. “We hope this... is going to engage the community in the process of making the reconstruction work.” Given federal highway funds and a pile of resumes, the town of Danville selected landscape designer David R aphael of Middlebury and Vershire sculptor Andrea WaSSerman to mastermind the tarmac trans formation. “The idea of having artists participate from day one, ground zero, on a transportation project is a completely unique thing,” Stander says. “This has never been done before.” Transportation officials agreed Danville was the perfect site for an artistic experiment — after all, no one else has been able to get the project moving. And although there are a few motor mandates — wider road, fewer curves — Raphael and Wasserman will have significant creative license. O f course, their vision will ultimately have to fly with Danville citizens and the Local Review Committee. Stander sums it up: “We are not talking about an exhibit here. This will become a permanent part of the community as much as the tar and cement.”

When it comes to judging food, you’ve gotta take those “best of” contests with a grain of salt. Unless, of course, the eat ing awards are being handed out by the most particular palates in Vermont. Last month, the Vermont chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food served up “epicurious” awards in 26 categories at a gourmet gala in Waitsfield emceed by food diva M adelein e Kamman. In the northern Vermont arena, Smokejacks in Burlington took first place for “favorite restaurant.” Ferrisburgh’s Starry Night Cafe was voted “favorite new restaurant.” The best service is at Burlington’s Trattoria Delia, and the most preeminent chef — Robert Fuller — splits his time between Paulines and Leunig’s. The “ambiance” award went to the Inn at Shelburne Farms. The Mist Grill in Waterbury rose and shone with awards for best brunch, breakfast and coffee drinks. Michael s in Warren caters successfully to vegetarians, while on-the-go eaters can expect the best “all-around take-out” from NECI Commons on Church Street. Mirabelle’s aced the pastry test, and Klinger’s won out for best bread. Beverages? Buy your vino at Wine Works, your beer from Magic Hat and, if you plan to make a night of it, check out Mes Amis in Stowe, voted “favorite pub.” CH O W FOR NOW:
Police in St. Johnsbury still haven’t caught the man who severe ly damaged a precious work of art at the Fairbanks Museum last month. Authorities have a composite drawing of a suspect who hurled a heavy wooden chair down onto an intricately carved buffalo skeleton that illus trates the history,of the Lakota Sioux. Artist Jim Durham picked up the pieces and brought them back to Ohio, where he is no doubt contem plating the implications of the assault. “From a museum standpoint, it is reparable, but of course that doesn’t make it spiritually whole again,” says Fairbanks director Charlie Browne, noting the cost of reconstruction will be covered by the museums insurance company. Oddly enough, Durham wants the injurious chair when the police are done with it. “He wants to be able to sit on that chair and tell the story,” says Browne. Another sad chapter . . . Musician and filmmaker Martin Guigui is “taking back Vermont” this week. The Los Angeles-based creator of Wedding Band needs fall footage for his new movie, which he describes as “Norma Rae meets Fargo meets Waynes World.” Originally titled Frickin Decent, Jeezum Crow is a four-season film about two guys who are trying to keep their Vermont farm from being mailed over. In their spare time, the duo plays in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, called Freebird. Guigui will spend most of the week shooting in Waitsfield with a “circus of people” that includes Vermonters Rusty Dewees, Steve Sm all, John Alexander and Fran Stoddard. On Monday night, Guigui will host a panel discussion at Champlain College with Lethal Weapon screenwriter Shane Black — reportedly the highest-paid wordsmith in Hollywood. He plays a state trooper in Jeezum Crow. . . M ary Azarian’s funky “Alphabet” series launched her career as a world-class printmaker. These days “M” is for “Martha Stewart Living.” In the process of profiling Azarian for a seg ment that aired earlier this month, reporters were asking around Montpelier to confirm, among other things, that Vermont has more artists than anywhere else in the country. The investigation progressed from the Vermont Arts Council to the Travel and Tourism Division to Vermont Life magazine before it was declared an “urban-rural myth.” When it comes to the per-capita population of visual artists, according to a study commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts, Vermont actually ranks number-two in the country, after New Mexico. ®

Weekly Mail Continued from page 4 their platform and main candidate, Dwyer, are equally committed to the undoing of those liberties. The Pollina people argue fur ther that, as no difference exists between the two main candidates, the election of either will make no difference to the citizens of Vermont. Yet they know, or should know, that Gov. Dean has been a remarkable proponent of the rights of women to make decisions about their reproductive and medical lives free of the interference of the state, and that he has helped to maintain Vermont as one of the freest,states in the union for women in these most personal matters. On all of the restrictions on womens rights to make decisions about their bodies suggested by legislatures here and elsewhere, Dean has supported women. In a debate with Gov. Sununu of New Hampshire on national television, Dean stated, “It’s a matter between a woman and her doctor, period.” On a talk show in Burlington, about parental notification, he
argued realistically that he had seen too many cases where the father of the fetus was a close relative of the mother to favor such punitive mea sures. Most important, in an era where many doctors and political leaders are being frightened by threats of violence to avoid a com mitment to womens freedoms, Gov. Dean has steadfastly main tained that commitment, unlike his main opponent, who will not promise if elected to keep govern ment’s hands off women’s bodies. In the best scenario, the Pollina people believe their own rhetoric, thinking that the difference between candidates on women’s rights to reproductive freedom from the state is not an essential issue. In the worst scenario the campaign deliberately obfuscates the difference to get votes. But citi zens should know that women and their liberty will pay the highest price if they fall for the Pollina argument, and if his votes cost the election of Gov. Dean. — Sandy Baird

VERMONT IN FOREFRONT
The Vermont Constitution, first written in 1777, was the first to abolish slavery, Steve Mount tells me on his Web site. It took some time for the rest of the nation to follow this example of equal justice. In 2000, Vermont has again set a historic milestone by recognizing the rights of same-sex couples.. While there is no reason to believe that it will not again take some time for the rest of the nation to follow this example of fairness, it is already certain this is a turning point in the development of our democracy which will stand as the start of a new era for civil rights for gay people and for our families. In a letter to the Rutland Herald, September 3, 2000, Sam Lloyd of Weston writes: “Forget ting that history shows that progress in civil rights for minori ties suffering from discrimination has almost always been gained without majority support, the opponents of the law vow to seek revenge this fall from those who supported the bill.” Stand tall, Vermonters! Not only for yourselves and for the

courage and integrity of those of your public servants who stepped forward to support the bill, to quote Sam Lloyd again, but also for the thousands upon thou sands of us who are thrilled by the humanity of this huge mile stone. At the moment it may still only be “equal” rights and it may only be for Vermont, but you have taken a bold, strong step in the right direction. You have started to destroy the last accept able prejudice. You have expand ed the parameters of liberty for us all. Moving on from your brave beginning may well take some time, but time will tell, as it always has, that Vermont is again a fountainhead of freedom. Glory be to Vermont! — Will Klump
New York City FOR DEAN, WITH RESERVA TIONS
Because he had the political courage to sign the civil-union bill into law, I’ll be voting for Howard Dean this November. I’m con cerned that Dean’s defeat would be
seen as a victory for the forces of intolerance and exclusion. So, I will be casting my ballot for Dean, but with deep reservations. Dean’s conservative fiscal poli cies have hurt working Vermont ers. Dean has shown no inclina tion to replace the inefficient HMO health-care system despite its failure to hold down costs and its callous disregard of patients’ rights. His lack of leadership on the issue of a livable wage has hurt working Vermonters. His inaction in facing up to the profiteering pharmaceutical industry has hurt older Vermonters. His policy of corporate welfare through tax abatement without adequate over sight implemented by the Vermont Economic Progress Council has deprived our state of revenue for underfunded social programs. And his support of welfare-to-work reform without adequate funding for childcare has hurt single moth ers and put children at risk. And, most recently, he has retreated from supporting a significant ele ment of Act 60 — the sharing pool — presumably to win the vote of his wealthier constituents. I commend the Governor for his

Fairfield SUPPORT OUTRIGHT
Please support Governor Dean and the “Outright Vermont Program.” Outright Vermont is a program designed to educate all school children, giving them sensi tivity training toward other stu dents whose sexual orientation may be different from theirs. Every human being deserves to be treated with love, honor and tolerance. Remember that those children struggling with their sexual identi ty could be your children, grand children or other family members and friends. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love our differences, and love each other. — Susan Kenyon Plante
Bennington STOP THE LIES
I am very worried about the moral decline of our society__
but not because a reasoned and thoughtful legislature has acknowl edged a small part of our commu nity as humans with the same lib erty and responsibilities as the majority. No, I am worried because it seems that so many selfrighteous people think nothing, absolutely nothing, of concocting lies, of spreading lies, and of doing anything to destroy ... good, hard working legislators who have served their districts and Vermont well on many, many issues that affect #//Vermonters — that is the ultimate in evil, godlessness and immorality... A sorry fact of life is that if a lie is repeated often enough, it starts to sound like a fact. The liar even begins to believe it. I have listened to protestors spouting bald-faced lies to our elected leaders; I have read despicable, disgusting lies in pamphlets and handouts printed to look “official;” I have overheard our Vermont children being exposed to hate and lies and slander... “Thou shalt not bear false wit ness against thy neighbor.” Here in Vermont, we are all neighbors, and it is up to each of us to stand up to
these liars, and to say that we will not let you and your lies destroy good people. — Kathy Strahm
Burlington SWEEPING DIRT UNDER RUG?
In reply to Peter Freyne’s inquiry [Inside Track, Aug. 30] about The Burlington Free Press’ tainted editorial board and anger toward Attorney Burgess (sic), the answer lies deeply rooted in the soul of its community. Vermont’s largest daily newspa pers editorial board maintains that an undefined rigidity justifies unverified possibilities to render a culpable cause. Mr. Freyne scratch es the surface by examining the BFP’s stance on graffiti. However, no in-depth question is asked about his rival’s position on heroin users or transient campers. In both instances, Mr. Carey and his cohorts are elitist totalitarians holding the belief that sweeping society’s dirt under a rug is an invi tation to us for a better life. — Stephen A. Jarvis

HARASSERS, NO T “HOM OS,” THE PROBLEM
I am not one for writing letters in newspapers, but when I witness attacks based on fear and igno rance, I feel compelled to do so. I am shocked at the allegations that certain local groups have waged against Governor Dean and Outright Vermont. Their allega tions that they are promoting the teaching of homosexuality, or rather, “how to be homosexual,” within our schools is ludicrous. When was the last time these peo ple were in a school and witnessed what actually goes on? I teach in a public high school, and I do know what goes on there. Students are teased, shoved in lock ers, and called “dyke,” “fag” or “homo.” If there is any teaching about homosexuality, it is that homosexuals are people, too, and because of that they deserve respect [and] dignity. If we don’t teach children to accept people for their differences, then those students who are the target of harassment because of their suspected homo sexuality will continue to suffer. How many more teenagers
have to commit suicide? How many more have to turn to drugs and alcohol before these people wake up and realize that homosex uals are not the problem? The peo ple who fear them, hate them and, as a result, harass them are. — Julie Wilson

otting farm country throughout Vermont, the barns and clapboard houses seem as integral as the famous Green Mountain scenery, like they’d been here for centuries. In some cases, they have. But that barn over there may have been built several miles away and moved. Similarly, that elegant Victorian facing a rural road might once have been in town. In other words, buildings don’t always stay put. And if any struc ture in Vermont needs to get from here to there, Emile Desautels is the man for the job.

“We move anything,” says the 76-year-old Desautels. “Barns, houses, bridges, silos, we’ll do it.” His Cape house on Shard Villa Road near the Salisbury line offers an expansive view over fields to the spires of Middlebury town and college. “They tax me for it,” he notes with the telltale acerbic humor of a native Vermonter. Desautels has been rearrang ing barns for 60 years, starting as a teenager with his father, Henry, who did it as a sideline to dairy farming. “My dad used to do it just locally,” said Desautels. “He didn’t have much equipment, but he did well with what he had. He was a good mover; he’d rather
move buildings than work on the farm.” The younger Desautels felt the same way, and eventually went into the moving and restoration business full time. In his heyday, he moved 20 to 30 buildings a year. Sitting around his kitchen table, flipping through a scrapbook with photos and newspaper clippings, Desautels recalls some career highlights. He points to what looks like a mammoth Tinker Toy on a flatbed truck. “That’s a two-lane covered bridge we moved,” he recounts. “It’s still right along Route 7 in North Ferrisburgh” at the site of what is now the Ferrisburgh Artisans

Guild. Moving a New England icon was no mean feat. The bridge was 90 feet long, and originally perched over a gorge. “You couldn’t put anything under neath it,” says Desautels. “We used two 45-foot beams and kept pushing the bridge. People would come by after work to see what we had done that day. W hen I moved that bridge, that put me on the map. T hat’s why they call me ‘Houdini.’” Achieving the impossible is a Desautels specialty. He’s taken on many projects that experts said couldn’t be done. When a branch line of the railroad was closed down, a large warehouse was left stranded. H Q sent its big-honcho engineers out to tackle the problem, who threw up their hands. The building had to be moved some distance over terrain that included highbanked turns. The engineers feared the warehouse would slide off'its trestle. Desautels finessed it. The warehouse “was a big, empty space, so we drove some tractors inside,” he explains. Then he jacked up the warehouse and started off. “When we were on the flat, the tractors stayed in the middle of the floor,” Desautels continues. “When we got to a turn, we just drove the tractors up on the high side, so the thing just balanced itself out. It’s quite a satisfaction when the railroad company tells you you can’t do it, and you do.”

The plant, owned by General Mills, was leaning so badly that grain could no longer be put in the bins. “They were going to have to close the plant down, and a lot of people would lose their jobs.” Desautels recalls. They had everyone around there try, and no one could do it. We got it straight in a week. The guy in charge said to me, £I gave you the job, but I didn’t think you could do it.’” These wonders are worked

without benefit of fancy training but with, apparently, uncommon good sense. “I’ve learned by doing,” says Desautels, “just by experience. I don’t know of a school where they teach this. It would be good to go to an engi neering school, but I never did.” Currently, Desautels is work ing with architect Sandy Lawton on Lawtons barn in Waitsfield. It needed to be shifted a few feet and straightened — little prob lem for a guy who’s already right ed barns in Leicester, Charlotte, Shelburne and Milton, though he claims each one is different. “You could have two barns built on the same blueprint,” Desautels says, “one on each side of a hill, and you’d do each one differently.” A round barn in Lowell proved to be his biggest chal lenge. “It was 90 feet across, and perfectly round with vertical boards — three-inch tongue-in groove,” Desautels recalls. “We had damn near 10 jacks pushing, and cables with four trucks pulling. We were bunking in the tool shed nearby,” says Desautels, “and you could hear that thing pop at night. You’d hear it bang because the strain was on it all the time. I never saw anything come back so hard in all my life.” A stroll through his yard is a tour of his trade’s tools. Desau tels points out the massive, 52foot-long steel beams he uses to move buildings. Trucks are parked in tire-high goldenrod. He points to a big red Inter national. “That one has 42 for ward speeds in it,” Desautels says. “There’s gears I’ve never even used.” An enormous winch sits astride a 1941 model. “We

Vermont.\ H S 1 uSS Desautelsi used that on the round barn,” he notes. About the ’53 Mac truck with 24-inch rims, he says, “It doesn’t look like much, but it runs good.” It doesn’t bother Desautels a bit that his equipment is border ing on antique. “Movers aren’t using this stuff much anymore,” he says. “It’s getting a bit out of date, but I’m not investing in new stuff. I’m old-fashioned; I don’t like change.” Desautels says moving and restoring comes naturally, and he likes the challenge. He also likes the idea of preservation. “It’s good to save the old barns,” he says. “It keeps Vermont Vermont. You don’t want to let it get too modern; you gotta save some o f the old stuff.” The cost for preserving a piece of the past? Fixing an aver age barn costs $5000 to $10,000, according to Desautels — if\x t fixes it. “There’s no charge if we can’t true it. My dad always did it that way, and I do the same thing.” ®

he looked to be on the eld erly side of middle-aged, broad-faced, plain brown hair pulled back. It was last spring, late April or early May. As we left the Essex Junction Amtrak station in my taxi head ing west towards the lake, I thought, “This woman looks like an Andrew Wyeth model, but from the Midwest.” Passing the Fort and St. Michaels College, we chatted easily and I quickly surmised that Anna was just that — a lifetime Okie on her first trip east o f the Mississippi. She expressed a keen interest in seeing the Green Mountains “close-up.” I offered my taxi and myself as, respective ly, tour bus and tour guide, and Anna heartily accepted. Pick-up time was set for noon the follow ing day. I told her to plan for a three-hour tour. Unlike the illfated M innow on “Gilligan’s Island,” I said, my tours come with a no-shipwreck guarantee. She laughed and told me I was a

“great kidder.” Heading for bed that night, I eagerly anticipated the next days trip. About once a month, more in the foliage season, I catch a tour like this. It’s good money, it breaks up the monotony of the in-town grind, and I’m not so Vermont-jaded that I don’t appreciate getting into the hills, trees and fields for a few hours. As an added incentive, the Notch had just opened up, and spring time in Stowe just kills me. I figured I’d give her the stan dard loop: covered bridge in Jeff, up over the Notch, Trapp Family Lodge, and maybe finish up at my favorite tourist trap, the Cold Hollow Cider Mill. But as I was to find out, there was nothing standard about Anna’s life. This trip, moreover, represented noth ing less then the apotheosis of her life’s journey. The next day was glorious. The sky was Aqua-Velva blue, the sun warm and lemony, with just the slightest tickle of a breeze, Anna was waiting at the front of the hotel, and jumped right into the seat next to me.
She was wearing a frock and beaming. We rolled down Route 15, with me playing the consummate tour guide. All that was missing was one of those hand-held microphones. “Yup, this is Jericho, home of the improbable Snowflake Bentley.” W hat I did n’t know, I made up, and Anna ate up every hokey detail. As we cruised onto the Pleasant Valley Road through Underhill, I finally shut up and asked her about her life. Her plain-spoken sincerity struck me. Her dad’s farm failed during the ’30s, she told me, and the family was left destitute. Instead of leaving for California, in the Dust Bowl exodus chronicled by John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie, Anna’s family stayed in Oklahoma as itinerant farm workers. By age eight or nine, she was pitching in. Packing strawberries one lonely summer day, she slipped a note with her name and address into the bottom of a container, a “message in a bottle.” Later that summer,she received a letter
from one Georgia Littlefield, a 10-year-old Nebraska schoolgirl, and, yes, she would “love” to be her pen-pal. It would be “swell.” From this unlikeliest of beginnings developed a life-long friendship of the utmost intima cy. Anna and Georgia shared each other’s lives from the teen years into adulthood. On rare occasions there were visits, but mostly they communicated through letters and, later, by telephone. And one thing they shared was an enchantment with Vermont. They both subscribed to Vermont Life and would read every article religiously. Every so often National Geographic would do a feature on maple sugaring, ice-fishing or skiing, and they would clip the pictures scrapbook-style. I asked Anna how two born-and-bred Midwestern farm girls came to hear about Wrmont, let alone develop an obsession with this most Yankee of northeastern states. “I can’t honestly recall,” she replied. “From my earliest child hood, I would imagine a land of tall hills, white snow and deep green forests. It didn’t take long before Georgia — bless her heart — was sharing the same dream.” At the long covered bridge just outside Jeffersonville village, Anna handed me her camera and had me shoot any number of pictures of her waving, throw ing pebbles into the stream below, and, in her own demure way, generally vamping it up. Getting into the spirit of the occasion, I told her she looked better than Meryl Streep in The Bridges o f Madison County. She blushed, said she had seen the movie, but had known that Vermont’s covered bridges would outclass anything that Clint Eastwood came up with. Now she knew she was right. As we passed the Smuggler’s Notch ski lifts and began the sharp ascent through the Notch itself, Anna was visibly trans ported. She looked like a kid on her first visit to an old-fashioned candy store. A few pockets of snow still dotted the cliff side. Here and there roadside water falls gushed cool, clear water through crevices that looked like laugh lines on the faces of kindly old men. We stopped at one of the many pull-overs near the peak so Anna could wander a little and take some photos. I glanced at her face as I walked nearby. It was as if she was imprinting this wondrous ,vista for all time, stor ing it forevermore in her mind’s eye.
n the Stowe side heading towards the Trapp place, Anna spoke more of her friend Georgia. They had both married in their twenties. Georgia had two children, now both middle-aged themselves. She herself was childless. They both were widowed relatively

Ride to Life
Continued from page 15 young, in their fifties. Though she didn’t speak in specifics, I read between the lines that nei ther she nor her friend had any money to speak of. Always, through the years, they planned their trip to Vermont, just the two of them. “But one thing leads to another,” she said, “and you know how it is. A few years ago Georgia developed a serious heart prob lem. Now she couldn’t possibly make the journey.” I looked over and could see the pain on her face. “But you know,” she contin ued, quickly perking up, “Georgia practically forced me to go on this trip. Do you believe it, age 74, never traveled a whit, and now here I am, seeing Vermont for the both of us.” The panorama from the Trapp Family Lodge is simulta neously vast and intimate. If there’s a beating heart to the Green Mountains, I think it’s here in these rolling alpine fields. Just one look, and there’s no doubt why Maria plopped her intrepid family right down at this spot. At the Lodge’s terrific gift shop, Anna bought a comi-
thing I always imagined,” she” said. “Never will I forget this day.” On the way back to Burlington, we spoke little. Camel’s Hump is a palpable presence along the stretch from Waterbury to Burlington. On that afternoon it felt like a mam moth and friendly great-uncle watching over us. Donning my tour guide’s hat one final time, I told Anna that “Camel’s Hump” is a fine descriptive name for this peak, but the hikers’ nickname, I thought, more truly captured the spirit of the mountain — the Couching Lion. As with just about every aspect of this magical day, Anna found this perfect. “The couch ing lion,” she said, “is just about the cat’s pajamas.” Back at the hotel, it was hard for me to say good-bye. Anna couldn’t have been more gra cious. She gave me a nice tip and had the bellhop take a few pho tos of the two of us standing alongside the taxi. She assured me she would keep my card for “the next time,” and warmly shook my hand. We both knew there would be no next time. It was so very bittersweet. It’s been quite a few months since my time with Anna. Spring

fe w h o u rs^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ M cally large number of postcards — mostly black and white repro ductions of early Vermont scenes. “Georgia will just eat these up,” she said. Down Route 100 into Waterbury Center, the Cold Hollow Cider Mill was surpris ingly quiet, even for this late, mud-season weekday. The place is run by a direct descendant of Vermont’s first governor, and that’s just one of the store’s charming aspects. It’s the oppo site of slick, just stacks upon rows of gorgeous Vermont-made crafts and foods in no discernible order. We bought a few cider donuts and two cups of fresh cider, and stepped outside to relax on a wooden bench under a maple tree. I glanced over and Anna was glowing. I imagined this to be the demeanor of a practicing Muslim who has final ly made it to Mecca, or a devout Jew praying for the first time at the Western Wall. Her eyes were at once a million miles away and almost jarringly present. She was 74 years old, wearing a shapeless dress of some unrecognizable flower motif, and all I can say is, she looked beautiful. She turned and looked at me straight on. “Vermont is every-
has long since blossomed into full-blown summer, and already the opening notes of the autumn symphony have been struck. Before you know it, the leafers will be arriving by the bus load. Who can begrudge the tourists their infatuation with the blazing glory of fall foliage? For some, however, the attraction to Vermont goes far deeper. Looking back now, I see that Anna taught me a soul lesson, a lesson in gratitude. Just as we often take for granted the loved ones closest to us, I forget the everyday blessing of life in Vermont. Why do I, and not Anna, get to call the Green Mountains my home? These are matters of fate and spirit I wouldn’t even pretend to fath om. But of one thing I have no doubt: If where we get to live was determined by pure, unaf fected desire, Anna would have been here long ago. I can close my eyes and pic ture one Oklahoma-born farm girl. There’s light in her eyes, and the wind is blowing through her soft brown hair. She’s spending all her days whispering and laughing with her best friend, running through the fields below the Couching Lion. ®

Drug Administration announced that it was taking a skeptical look at the safety of making and selling raw-milk cheese, a partic ularly popular product of Vermont farms. A visit to one of the state’s small cheese producers, then, is not only an afternoon well spent; it’s a chance to see a slice of the Vermont economy that’s struggling to grow against daunt ing obstacles.

the cave. Forget swooping bats and dripping stalactites — the cheese cave is constructed from 13 con crete culverts. This structure nes tles gently into the side of a hill, the outer wall faced with stone and the top and sides covered with sod. A large window beside a screen door makes it resemble the entrance to a hobbit hole — and most hobbits would be thrilled with the contents. Passing through the plastic veil at the door triggers a num ber of sensations: The cave is much brighter than you’d expect, with whitewashed walls and a central skylight; the air is cool and clammy, the floor damp; and the aroma of aging cheese is powerful, a dry earthy smell undercut by numerous molds, with a thin undercurrent of ammonia produced by the aging process. In the section direct ly opposite the cave’s entrance, racks hold large plastic tubs filled with salt water and newly made rounds of cheese. Brad Lussier, who supervises the cheese cave, explains the labor-intensive process of turning the pale yel low disks into mar ketable cheese: “The first step is to soak the cheese in brine,” he says. “Different cheeses soak for different lengths of time; the Vermont Shepherd Cheese, for instance, soaks for about five hours a pound, while a Timson might A soak for as much as 12 hours per pound.” After the cheeses are soaked, Lussier contin ues, they dry on ash boards cantilevered out from racks along the back of the cave. The variety of wood is important, he adds, because it doesn’t add a scent or flavor to the cheeses. But that didn’t stop health officials from questionning the age-old practice a couple years ago, arguing that wood could harbor dangerous pathogens. To counter the possi bility of contamination, Ver mont Shepherd installed a kiln to sterilize the wood. Now the boards are not only washed and rotated, but cooked often. Each of the cheeses dries for one-half to one week. Once the cheeses have dried thoroughly, they are brought out and stored on similar, tightly packed racks along the other arms of the cross-shaped cave. Over the next four months or so, a variety of fascinating molds and bacteria grows on the out side of the cheese wheels. These produce the rind that preserves the cheese and contributes to its flavor. Too much mold or the wrong kind of bacteria, though,
MAKING THE ROUNDS Ageing ch e ese at Vermont Shepherd can ruin a cheese. To prevent that from happening, each wheel must be rinsed off frequently. “There are about 3000 cheeses in the cave,” Lussier says. “They all get turned, brushed and washed with salt water.” Over

recently dug in along a bedrock wall to cure a variety of organic sheep cheeses made from their own flocks. “That’s the latest thing these days in Vermont agriculture — building your own cheese cave,” Lussier says. The question, of course, is whether the molds can continue to grow in the face of possible govern ment regulations. Leaving the cheese cave, I’m offered three sam ples: a Vermont Shepherd Cheese 3 made from sheep’s milk; a Timson, made from raw cows’ milk; and a Putney Tomme, also made from raw cows milk. All are rich and creamy, with moderately strong flavor and an earthy taste. The latter two cheeses in particular are most threatened by gov ernment regulators, who worry that a lack of pasteuriza tion allows poten tially life-threaten ing bacteria to flourish. Cheesemakers acknowledge the risk to the public, but insist that it’s minimal, and can be further reduced by careful attention to hygiene and proper cheese-making tech niques. The FDA will not con clude its study for another 18 months. Meanwhile, Vermont’s congressional delegation has promised to work hard to pro tect the states new “under ground” economy. A visit to the Vermont Shepherd Cheese Cave, then, is not merely for serious dairy devotees. It’s an opportunity to learn how this fascinating prod uct is made — and a little bit about the less-palatable politics of food. ®

Cheese the course of four months, the average Vermont Shepherd Cheese wheel gets about 35 to 50 such “baths.” During peak production, the cave has as many as two full-time and four part-time employees washing and turning the cheeses. This effort has paid off: Vermont Shepherd has earned numerous first-place awards in the Farmhouse Sheep’s Milk Cheese category at the American Cheese Society Annual Competition. This year the col lective captured the highest award, Best of Show, for its Highlands Farm cheese. Lussier points out a sample of the darkly mottled cheese at the far end of the cave.

A couple of Vermont composers find poetic inspiration in their own backyard
By
Ly n d a M
a j a r ia n
omposers and lyricists were making beautiful music together long before Gilbert and Sullivan or the Gershwin brothers ever penned a note. But unlike those famous duos, who often worked in tan dem, two Vermont composers have paired original music with acclaimed works published by two of Vermont’s best-known writers. The fruits of their collab orations — an opera by Erik Nielsen based on David Budbill’s play Judevine-, and poems from Ellen Bryant Voigts collection Kyrie, narrated with Ken Langer’s score — will be sampled in Vermont this fall. Budbill isn’t an opera buff. In fact, he doesn’t even like opera. So why has the award-winning Vermont writer created the libret to for an opera based on his acclaimed play and collection of poems about the interrelated lives of 24 characters in a poor, rural Vermont town? For starters, A Fleeting Animal: An Opera From Judevine is not a typical opera. Budbill and Nielsen, who was commissioned by the Vermont Opera Theatre to set Judevine to music, drew their inspiration from blues, jazz and FrenchCanadian fiddle tunes — not the soaring arias from traditional warhorses like La Boheme. Budbill also saw contemporary opera as method of resurrecting his play, which has not been pro duced in Vermont for a decade, although theatrical productions continue to be staged in other states. Realizing immediately that retelling the entire play “would result in an opera that was 25 hours long,” Budbill says, he and Nielsen began by pulling one story line from his roster of unique Judevine inhabitants. Consequently, A Fleeting Anim al concerns two primary characters: Vietnam vet Tommy Starnes and welfare mother Grace, whose rocky relationship leads to mad
C
ness and suicide. “I was able to expand Tommy and Grace’s story,” Budbill explains, “and develop oth ers, like the Angel of Depression, who were only briefly referenced in the original play. There’s a lot of new material here.” For Nielsen, who has been composing music for chorus and orchestras for three decades, the challenge was to m a t c h . m u s i c to the stage act|pn«ihd to enhance the pas sion and emotion of the charac ters. “David is a very direct writer who deals with serious
But musicians have stacks of notes to follow, so you can’t do ,|hat with opera.” Consequently, ffe says with Buddha-like detach ment, “I’ve learned to let go.” The energetic Budbill is not a newcomer to the music scene.
“ We need operas that ar about our own time, and aren’t fairv ta — composer Erik Nielse issues. He isn’t gimmicky,” attests Nielsen. “The music had to be honest as well.” For example, he explains, “Grace is very angry, so her music is jagged and jumps around without a smooth, melodic line.” The two-hour, two-act opera, which Budbill describes as “a dark tale,” will be performed by the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble, eight principal singers and a chorus representing the Judevine community. “It’s not lightweight fare,” Nielsen admits, “but I hope and believe people looking for a significant artistic experience will be very moved by it. We need operas that are about our own time, and that aren’t fairy tales.” Although Nielsen and Budbill began discussing ideas for the opera a year and a half ago, actu ally writing the score was an eight-month process. For Budbill, the toughest part of the project was knowing when to quit. “I’m famous for rewriting, even after a show has opened.
Claiming jazz has been in his blood since childhood, he is a tenor sax player who performs in New York about four times a year and recently produced a two-CD set, Zen Mountains-Zen Streets, that sets his Taoist- and Zeninspired poetry to music per formed by world-renowned bassist William Parker. He insists, “I can’t imagine any poet not being wrapped in music.”
Vermont State Poet Ellen Bryant Voigt trained to be a concert pianist, “in another lifetime,” as she says with a laugh, and even reached conservatory level. Although the music of language eventually cap tured her heart, she affirms that music remains a powerful tool in any good poet’s arsenal. “The best way to convey complex and intense emotions in a brief space,” she explains, “is with music.” Voigt recently collaborated with composer Ken Langer to adapt poems from her 1995 col lection, Kyrie, to an original musical score. The catalyst for the duo to put their creative heads together was the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, which annually commissions a Vermont composer to create music for its Made in Vermont Music Festival — the statewide tour begins September 27. Langer, who teaches music at Lyndon State College, was given specific marching orders after earning the commission. He was to choose poems from Voigt’s body of work to adapt for a small orchestra. He was taken by the sonnets in Kyrie, which explore in a very personal way how sever al characters coped with the influenza pandemic of 1918 that claimed the lives of 25 million people worldwide. “W hat’s neat about Ellen’s work,” says Langer, “is that she creates vivid charac ters with very few words. My challenge was to create music that would elicit and heighten the emotions in the text.” Langer worked with Voigt for
roughly eight months on a sequence of 10 poems that both of them felt could represent the text in a narrative, lyrical sequence. “I let the strings carry the motion of the music,” Langer explains, “and used horns, bas soons and oboes to create three distinct voices for specific charac ters. It was very much a collabo rative process, with Ellen reading the music, helping to define the narrative line, and editing poems to fit.” The fruit of their partnership, titled Voices o f 1918, marries poetry and music to a greater degree than the VSO had initial ly planned. “Originally, they wanted music, then a poem,” Langer says, “but the final piece is more flowing.” Langer will share narration duties with Voigt for half the performances. Due to scheduling conflicts, Marlboro ' poet and musician Ellen Dudley will fill in periodically for Voigt. Each concert will be preceded by a discussion with the artists. W hat excites Voigt most about this project, she says, is its potential to win over more poet ry aficionados, especially in rural communities where the VSO concerts will be performed. “People have a misconception, maybe based on the poems we used to read in school, that poet ry is ‘high art’ and intimidating,” she explains. “But most audi ences can respond to poetry quite easily. I think people will be pleasantly surprised by this pro duction, and will come away say ing, ‘Hm m , I didn’t know poetry could be like this.’” ®

Five artful exhibits at Middlebury College
amount to a good “bi” OUTSIDE INFLUENCE Art Profesor John H unisak com tem plates “Smog B y P a m ela P o lsto n here are pienty of reasons to spend a day in Middlebury — a view of the Otter Creek falls from the footbridge, charming small shops, a smattering of excellent restau rants, all of it within easy walking distance. But, even though the town is dominated by its college, visitors may still not think to take a stroll around campus. Big mistake. Now more than ever, Middlebury, and the school, collec tively offer a “package” worth touring. Especially if you like theme trips. The theme in this case is the bicentennial of Middlebury College; the package is no fewer than five exhibits, on and off campus, of the art and history attendant to that impressive anniversary. The tour might logically start at the Middlebury College Museum of Art — the architecturally unique building itself being part of the attraction. Under its many-faceted roof are two exhibits that link past and present. The spartanly named “Middlebury College: 200 Years” is a small but intriguing col lection of art and artifacts, assembled by Museum Director Richard Saunders and David Bain, author of the celebratory tome published earlier this year, The College on the Hill. Greeting viewers is the meticulously restored and framed, original 1800 charter for the college — “archivally correctly gussied up,” says Emmie Donadio, associate director of the Museum. Though the college’s well-endowed status belies any past hard times, the exhibit acknowledges less-sanguine peri ods, such as serious deprivations during the Civil War. A tuition chit from 1820 informs that the cost of a semester was then a whopping $10.52; 16 paper silhouettes depict the graduating class of 1808; scientific instruments collected in Europe by the school’s first professor, Frederick Hall, serve to
T
journalism” photos of Vietnam to Peter Cole’s hall of thriftshop mirrors to Robert Gober’s unsettling body-parts installa tions, the show offers much that is provocative, amusing and satisfying. But if “13 Alumni Artists” is a fairly representative foray into contemporary art, a five-minute walk to the other side of campus brings viewers into the 21st century. It’s a matter of personal taste which is the more remarkable — the humongous, year-old Bicentennial Hall, or the brand-new Tony Smith sculpture, entitled “Smog,” which sprawls across the lawn outside it. Bicentennial Hall, which is surely among the largest struc tures in Vermont, is devoted to the sciences — this accentuat ed by an observatory capping it like a yarmulke. Constructed from the same gray stone in use across the campus, the build ing is six stories high, not including the observation deck, with 600,000 square feet inside. T The $40 million building budget generated an unprece dented contribution to the college’s 1% for Art program, notes John Hunisak, a member of the campus-wide Com mission on Art in Public Places. Also chair of the department of art and architecture, and 31-year professor of art history, Hunisak says everything built or renovated on campus con tributes to the art fund — even the new Astroturf playing field. That’s why the commission was able to consider a sub stantial outdoor sculpture as a companion to Bicentennial Hall — something large enough to hold its own by comparison. The Tony Smith sculpture, arranged through a consultant familiar with the late artist’s work, is simply “the most signifi cant piece of art in Vermont,” declares Hunisak. The consult ant, Nancy Rosen, came with impressive credentials — matching public art projects with the World Financial Center in New York, and the Holocaust Museum in Washington,
The Tonv Smith sculpture... is simply “the most significant piece of art in Vermont.’] n Hunisak, Middlebury art J history professor remind how far technology has come. One of the most evoca tive items on display is Gamaliel Painter’s cane — apparently such a well-known companion of the college founder that graduates have been presented with replicas for the past five years, and local schoolchildren are still reportedly taught a song about it. Rounding out the exhibit are architectural drawings, prints, documents, sports memorabilia and photographs — such as the portrait of May Belle Chellis, Midd’s first woman graduate, in 1886; and men whose names now label college buildings. In a neighboring room, “13 Alumni Artists” showcases paintings, sculptures and installations from established artists who once stared down easels in Middlebury classrooms. The work is all contemporary — the oldest exhibitor, Jeremy Foss, is from the class o f ’54, while the youngest, Valerie Hegarty, Julia Rossman Perez and Susanna Harwood Rubin, graduated together in 1989. Traditionalists may find little to love in this exhibit, but those interested in the post-modern explorations of contem porary artists surely will applaud it. From Bill Burke s “new

D.C., among other sites. As it turned out, her husband, an independent filmmaker, had some footage of Smith’s back yard in Orange, New Jersey, which included a model of “Smog,” Hunisak explains. Rosen remembered that, and knew that the sculpture had never been realized in it's full dimensions or permanent materials before or since Smiths death in 1980. “Smog” is a curious name for this immense — and immensely appealing — work, spanning 80 x 60 feet and 7 feet high, and fabricated in black-painted aluminum. An anthropomorphic description would have to suggest a spider — the sculpture has that low-to-the-ground, multi-legged dynamic. But of course, “it’s not going anywhere,” says Hunisak, who adds, “I’ve not heard yet a negative response” to the work. Indeed, it’s hard to find fault with “Smog.” On the con trary, visitors who sit on the grassy slope and consider it awhile will surely be spellbound by the combination of art, architecture and nature’s contributions of fields and moun tains beyond.

Art shows how — “Smog” will have math and science majors puzzling over it for generations to come. It’s ironic but fitting, perhaps, that a work of art originally conceived in that watershed year of 1969 would come to rep resent Middlebury College’s bold step into the 21st century — but it’s something else to think about.
bout now a cup of coffee and a pastry are in order, taken at an outdoor cafe to refresh the senses for the two remaining exhibits. A short walk from campus, both the Sheldon Museum and Frog Hollow Vermont State Craft Center show solidarity with the college in thematic dis plays of their own. The Sheldon, appropriately, goes the historic route, start ing in the stairwell leading up to the second-floor exhibit. Here are old stereoscopic photos, etchings and drawings^with hazy views of the campus and the town: the first building in 1798; charter trustee Seth Storrs, who donated land for the college in 1810; a cracked and weathered original window from the Congregational Church steeple — “where genera tions of Middlebury College students climbed and left their marks” — commencement photos and programs, sports archives, and an installation of a student’s cozy study area, replete with desk, tiny wood stove, table, pot of tea and can dle to read by. One amusing entry is a poster advertising “The Usual Commencement Concert” given by the senior class of Middlebury College at the Congregational Church. We can only assume that by 1887, the graduates’ concert was such a ho-hum institution that it needed no more introduc tion than “the usual.” Nearby, Frog Hollow also pays homage to a group of artists and artisans who graduated from Middlebury College. A few of the dozen showcased here are well-known in Vermont — Sabra Field (’57) — who surprises with prints of Manhattan rather than her typical rural scenes — pewterer Fred Danforth (’72) and furniture maker Timothy Clark (’85). Virginia artist Lois Schawaroch Mansfield, who shows a polymer clay box and four-panel screen, is the oldest contrib utor (class o f ’51), while collage artist Nancy Lynn Toolan (’90), now living in California, is the youngest. Anne Majusiak curated “12 Alumni Artists,” and the works certain ly live up to Frog Hollow’s high standards. The exhibit was conceived by Director Bill Brooks “to recognize the college’s distinguished alumni craft artists and the role the college served in their creative development.” Not that Middlebury College and the rest of the commu nity have never been at odds — some residents have grum bled that the school has become increasingly elitist. But this confluence of art and history exhibits reveals just how entwined “town and gown” have been over two centuries — and it makes a great day trip for visitors. (Z)

Crowned Heads of Ryegate Hannah Nelson of Ryegate Center is our new Miss Vermont, and at a recent speaking engage ment in East Corinth she came out in favor of civil unions and against milking by hand. Nelson grew up on a family farm, which she said taught her many things — morals, teamwork and the value of getting the chores done without complaining. But Nelson also values the latest in milking parlor tech nology: When asked if she knew how to milk the old-fashioned way, she said, “Honesty is the best policy — I know how to do it, but I refuse.” Asked why, she pointed out that, “If you do something well, you’ll be expected to do it all the time.” No airhead, Nelson. We’ll see if those northcountry smarts play as well in Atlantic City. — Bradford Journal Opinion, September 13
Suitable for Framing Here’s a news clip you don’t see very often: Stowe firefighters have asked the select board to take back the 7 percent raise the board gave them in July. Assistant Fire Chief Leslie Pike told the ;rboard that the firefighters would rather receive pay increases on their own request, not at the direction of the select board. “We don’t need the money,” he explained simply. The board also decided during the same meet ing that Topnotch Resort had been unfairly billed more than $700 to pay for a fire ladder tall enough to reach the top floor of the resort’s condominiums. In reviewing the ladder situation, the board took the position that individual taxpayers should not have to pay for equipment that will likely benefit the whole community. “It didn’t ring quite right,” said select board chair Steve Riley. They decided to give Topnotch its money back. Fairness, decency, restraint — what’s the world coming to? — Stowe Reporter, August 31
Sheep Rodeo Revisited People will try anything once, and in 1937 sixyear-old Ernest Gilbert of Hardwick tried to ride a sheep. It didn’t work out all that well, since he got bucked off and broke his arm. W hen his mother took him to get the bone set, the doctor — a notickee-no-shirtee kind of guy — asked for the $2.50 fee up front. In 1937, $2.50 was more money than most people had handy, and the Gilberts borrowed the money from the town clerks office. Then, in 1944, the family moved away, leav ing the debt unpaid. “His arm has never bothered him,” Gilbert’s sis ter, May Riley, explained. “W hat bothered him all his life is that he hadn’t paid the bill.” Adjusting the debt for inflation, Gilbert recently repaid the town of Hardwick $5 to settle the account, to the delight and confusion of Roberta Foster, the town clerk. What to do with a stray $5? After meditation and consultation, she credited the money to the Hardwick Rescue Squad. “We decided it was sort of medical,” she said. — Hardwick Gazette, August 30
Bambi Patrol The state Fish and Wildlife Department spends $150,000 and countless hours each year hauling
road kill off the highways, and they’re getting sick of it. According to state officials, game wardens have strained their backs and pulled their muscles while clearing away moose, deer and other hefty animals: “It’s the nastiest job in the world,” declared Lieutenant Robert Rooks, supervisor of the northwest district, “especially if the thing has been there a few days.” — Vermont Standard, September 8
The Racketeer The third annual Car Stereo Contest held recently in Newport attracted 40 entries, including one called the Apocalypse, said to be one of the noisiest vehicles in the entire world. Its stereo can crank to 170 decibels, which is comparable to the racket of the space shuttle taking off at close range. Can a commotion of this order be understood as music? Hard to say. We will say that the windshield is an inch thick to keep it from shattering. The contest was sponsored by Audiocarve of Newport and by the United States Auto Sound Challenge Association. The rolling juke boxes com peted in two different categories — one for sound quality and integration of the sound system in the vehicle, and the other for just being really, really loud. And the winners? They must have been announced at some point, but perhaps not loudly enough. — The Barton Chronicle, September 6

Linda Hemond, Wendy Huff and Ellen Stark, all of Williston, took first, second and third in the Champlain Valley Fair Spam recipe contest. Huff conceded that winning the Spam contest might be seen by some as a peculiar victory, but observed, “If you can cook well with Spam, you can cook well with anything.” H uff’s Spam summer noodle toss got her $50, while first-place Hemond got $150 for Spam-stuffed shells. Stark got $25 for Spam curry puffs. This is the second time Hemond has taken the top prize — two years ago she won with a Spam angel-food cake with maple frosting, a thing terri ble to contemplate but obviously bakeable. Hemond’s latest winning recipe will be entered in a national contest; the winner of that gets a shopping spree and a round-trip ticket to Minneapolis. W hat does the loser get?

Last Run A St. Johnsbury skateboarder is in trouble — he likes to make his final run of the evening through the downtown without his clothes on, and not everyone agrees that this improves the scenery. Police officer Stephen Bunnell reports that there have been several complaints about Willy Levitt’s clothing-optional behavior. “I heard hooting and hollering,” Bunnell said, “and there he was. He had his shorts in his hand — and that’s it. He wasn’t wearing anything.” This is clearly a rite of summer, but nobody wants to wait for the wind chill to pick up and make it end — Levitt, 24, has been charged with lewd and lascivious conduct, a misdemeanor. . — Addison Independent, August 31

Inside Track continued from page 5 Kornblith is Jewish and told the Freeps editor so. He also told Hirten he thought his religion “was irrelevant to the discussion.” But, he said, Hirten disagreed. “He told me that if I’m Jewish, then that shows that I ‘have an axe to grind.’” Professor Kornblith told Seven Days the Freeps executive editor said the story of former guberna torial candidate Bernie Rome publicly stating that Ruth Dwyer had made outrageous anti-Semitic remarks and was unfit to serve was “not an important story.” “I don’t understand how the editor of Vermont’s largest news paper can suggest such a thing,” said the professor. In hopes of getting a response from Mr. Hirten on this serious charge of questioning the letterwriter’s religion, we left several messages for the distinguished, award-winning editor at the paper Tuesday afternoon, both on his voice mail and with his secretary. Mr. Hirten did not respond. If Freeps editor Mickey Hirten thinks that, in Vermont, one must be Jewish to be con cerned about statewide political candidates making anti-Semitic remarks, he is a sad victim of seri ous journalistic and cultural misjudgment. The Bernie Rome story is big news. And because of the reaction it’s drawn from Dwyer, her sup porters, the public, WPTZ-TV and The Burlington Free Press, it’s only gotten bigger. Bernie Rome told Seven Days this week he “appreciates the courageous elenqents of the Vermont press that did cover it. I respect the balance they had to achieve and did achieve,” he said. In every case Dwyer was given the opportunity to respond. Rome said he also appreciates the public support he’s received from fellow Republicans — state Sen. John Bloomer Jr. of Rutland and state Rep. Dick Mallary of Brookfield. Both described Rome as a man of integrity in the Rutland Herald (the paper which, by the way, supported Rome on its editorial page Monday). As for criticism from Pat Garahan, Skip Vallee and other Dwyer defenders, who have pub licly trashed him and questioned why he waited three years to go public, Rome replied, “The answer is, this is an ugly kind of story whenever it comes out. I never did want to bring it out,” he said. “I hoped [Ruth Dwyer] would fade into the woodwork. But she’s running for governor.” As one caller told him, he said, “You at least waited until you really had to do it.” Meanwhile, this week the gubernatorial candidates begin public debates, starting at City Hall in Burlington Wednesday evening at 7 p.m., then at the Capitol Plaza in Montpeculier Thursday evening, and on Sunday in a televised debate at the Paramount Theater in Rutland. Ch. 3’s carrying it live. No doubt any comments made by the candidates in refer ence to Bernie Rome’s charges against Dwyer will not be men-
tioned by The Burlington Free Press, nor reported by WPTZ-TV. Interesting to note that the Freeps is the only major daily in Vermont that has declined to take an edito rial position on civil unions. And WPTZ is the only TV station in the market that has refused to run paid ads promot ing the states Dr. Dynasaur pro gram, which provides health-care coverage for kids. The station’s general manager objects to the fact that Gov. Dean, a physician, appears in the ads. Hey, don’t you just love cen sorship? Dwyer’s Massachusetts cam paign manager, Kathie Sum m ers, told Seven Days Tuesday the Dwyer campaign will “do a general statement Thursday,” calling for an end to the “negativity, hearsay and innuendo” in the current cam paign for governor of Vermont. Cool. Bernie & Tony — UVM’s senior political pundit, Garrison Nelson, tells Seven Days he isn’t buying the line he’s getting from his Sanderista sources about why Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders won’t endorse Anthony Pollina for Governor. Mr. Pollina is the standard-bearer of the new Vermont Progressive Party. Gary-Gary-Gary, who’s been teaching political science at Groovy UV longer than most peo ple in town have been alive, says he’s been getting the same lame excuse reported in this space over a month ago, i.e., that O f Bernardo is afraid the House Democratic Caucus will look unkindly on him if he chooses to endorse Tony the Prog over Democrat Gov. Howard Dean. Remember, last fall Bernie took the big pay-off and cut a deal with Dick Gephardt, chair of the Democrat Caucus, to run for reelection in the House rather than challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords. Gephardt has prom ised O f Bernardo a seat on the Appropriations Committee as a reward. “I think Mr. Courage,” mocked Prof. Nelson, “has shown some lack thereof.” You see, when it comes to the inner workings of Congress, Professor Nelson is what one calls a “certified expert.” Garrison’s a longtime Washington observer, and he says the excuse that Bernie endorsing Pollina would tick off congressional Democrats is “a crock.” “The Democratic Caucus,” says Nelson, “could care less who wins the governorship in the vari ous states, because there’s no impact upon them, particularly in a state that has just one congres sional district and it ain’t going to be reapportioned.” If Prof., Nelson is correct and Of Cowardo, sorry, O f Bernardo has nothing to worry about in terms of retribution from Dick Gephardt, then why won’t Bernie support his longtime loyal sup porter, Tony the Prog? Hey, if you see The Bern roaming around out there, ask him. ’Cause we haven’t been able to get a straight answer out of the “Father of the Progressive Movement” on this one. (Z)

Never mind Ecstasyfueled raves, or swing or salsa; the latest dance craze to hit Burlington is one most of us can’t even pronounce: The English Ceili {kay- lee) is a “younger, louder dance scene with traditional music,” explains Brian Perkin s, mandolinist for the Celtic trio A tlantic C ro ssin g . This Friday’s party at the Champlain Club features the guy responsible for stirring up just such a scene in London and parts south — caller M ic h a e l CatOVSki. The Brit — who collaborated with Perkins, fiddler V ive k a Fox and guitarist R ic k Klein on their tour of England last spring — reportedly rouses club crowds into a sort of wholesome frenzy. Call it English folk danc ing with its hair down. For Catovski’s brief excursion to Burlington, Atlantic Crossing will morph into their “evil alter-ego dance band,” The H ose Com pany, joined on bass and drums by M itch BaiTOn and S a m H ooker, respectively. The regular contra dances at Champlain Club, organized by caller R a ch e l Nevitt, “have been getting big ger and bigger,” says Perkins. This one promises to pump up the volume.

One thing, though: The guy doesn’t have time to respond to all the people who contact him, so don’t expect to hear from him unless he picks your name. By the way, he’s thinking Dave Keller and the somethings, or something somethings. “I think I’ve earned the name recognition,” says Keller. Any ideas, send ’em to info@davekeller.com or leave a message at 229-2737. Oh, and another thing — Keller, keyboardist Andy H arris and bassist •Rob M eehan need a drummer, too.

You know how it is; you have a name, or a nickname, that everyone knows, and then you outgrow it. Doesn’t fit you anymore. Like guys who graduate from “Dickie” to “Richard,’’ the Dave Keller Blues Band is ready for a new moniker. That’s because, explains Keller, “We’re not really a blues band; we’ve become this funky r&b band.” Chosen in the absence of anything bet ter, the name just kind of stuck, in the way that people who can’t think what to name their cat call it “Kitty” its whole life. “My goal is to find something that describes what we do,” adds the guitarist/vocalist in the, uh, funky r&b band. In fact, he’s so serious about it that he’s inviting others to send him sugges tions. It’s not a competition, exactly — but THE N A M E G A M E
The words “Jam es K och alka “quiet” don’t often appear in the same sentence together, but this Wednesday at Burlington’s Crow Bookshop, Kochalka will perform an acoustic gig, with guitarist Jason Cooley, in celebration of his recent cartoon-book releases — three of them: Monkey vs. Robot, Peanut Butter & Jeremy, and Sunburn. I’d have thought it was something to shout about, but perhaps the prolific multimedia artist is becoming blase about produc ing a new book, painting or song every five minutes.

PH IL HENRY, BOARD BY BOARD (self-released, CD) — Phil Henry, a musician and music teacher from Ticonderoga, New York, bills his own original music as “acoustic folk-rock,” and cites Dave Matthews, Paul Simon, Martin Sexton and Ani DiFranco as influences. I think he should include Van Morrison on his list. Unlike the homogenous stuff being penned by too many singer-songwriters, some cuts on Henry’s new CD release, Board by Board, have a touch of jazz in them. One cut in particular, “Colleen,” has shades of Morrison’s “Moondance,” and a meandering, jazzy flute that sounds like a bit of Astral Weeks. Henry has a pleasantly clear, tenor voice that brings to mind a cross between a young Billy Joel and contemporary singer-songwriter Vance Gilbert. ■ The eight original tunes on Board by Board cover a wide range of styles. The ninth is a straightforward cover of Paul Simon’s catchy “You Can Call Me Al.” At one end of the range is “B Flat Minor Bluff,” which is mostly a noodling instrumental that provides an excuse for some attempts at Sexton-esque scatting and some pedes trian sax work. At the other end is “Give Up the

(Sanctuary Records, CD) — You know a CD is great when it inspires an urge to talk with the artist. Which leads quite nicely to the question: Bernice, would you have coffee with me sometime? Bernice Lewis’ fifth release reveals an artist who is clearly confident at her craft. She teaches song writing at Williams College and, indeed, Religion and Release could serve nicely as a textbook on the subject. With some past training from Roseanne Cash, Lewis has over the years developed a warm, personal style of storytelling. She’s also had vocal training with Bobby McFerrin, so we’ll give him some of the credit for a voice that is consistently right-on. Lewis’ songwriting and vocal skills both hit the mark on “When the Guru Was Around,” a mellow, thoughtful tale inspired by her own experience. As part of the flock at the Kripalu center for yoga study, she saw firsthand the wreckage that came from a sexual scandal involving its founder and spiritual leader. It would be easy to be angry but instead she’s reflective: “To follow someone blindly is a blessing and a curse/but never being led, it could have led us to much worse.” The song asks not to confuse the message with the messenger, a timely topic in the Clinton era. Additional vocals by Alisa Fineman and Indian-style percussion from Brian Melnick round out the sound. The spiritual theme continues in songs like “Mama’s Wine Glasses,” where this daughter of a Holocaust survivor considers her family’s past and future. There’s also “Mercy,” a sweet song wishing
pdace upon those who need it. But Lewis knows how to kick up her heels, too. The first track, “Gotta Get Better,” is an upbeat, radio-friendly, country-rock tune with perfectly arranged fiddle, drums and bass. It’s one of many songs where producer Adam Rothberg plays an instrument. On other tracks, you’ll hear bit parts from folk stars like Dar Williams, Ellis Paul and Brooks Williams. This is all good stuff. But the song you may be e-mailing friends about is one that no doubt tops Lewis’ live shows. “Normal’s Just a Setting On The Washing Machine” is full of stories like this one: “My friend Zythera, he used to be Seth/He meets me at the door in a frilly white dress/He says what’s the difference if I’m a he or a she?/There’s things about both that I just like to be!” That’s bound to sit well with folks on at least one side of the civilunions issue. Lewis plays Good Times Cafe next Wednesday, followed by other shows around Vermont, including at the Burlington Coffeehouse on Saturday September 30. — Kirt Zimmer

sister: Colleen Sexton was nominated for two Boston Music Awards last year all by her lonesome, and this year was selected to play at the New Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. But Burlington fans already know all this, and will be more than charmed by her third trip to town — at the Burlington Coffeehouse this Friday.

T h e feature debut from rockvideo director Joe C harbanic, The Watcher is as bare-bones and bytbe-numbers ^$.a studio psycho■th riller can get and yet is curiously watchable. T h e premise is pure boilerplate: James Spader plays yet another burnt-out F B I profiler (you know, like the one W illia m L . Petersen played in M anhunter and this fall plays again in a new C B S series). H e’s recently moved to Chicago from L .A ., where he’d spent years unsuccessfully tracking a serial k ille r whose M O involved observing single women over a period o f days, w aiting for them in their homes, and then strangling them w ith piano w ire. Retired from active duty, Spader’s character spends his free tim e sw allow ing p ills to help him sleep and cope w ith m igraines, developing dark circles under his eyes, and sitting alone in his apartm ent staring straight ahead for hours at a stretch. A ll o f a sudden single Chicago women start getting strangled w ith piano w ire. Turns out Spader’s old nemesis — played by Keanu Reeves as a doughy valley dude — couldn’t live (or k ill) w ithout h im , and has followed him halfw ay across the country so the two can resume their m utually defining game o f cat and mouse. A ll movies about serial killers
incorporate countdown mecha nism s these days, and the way things w ork in The Watcher, as Reeves thoughtfully inform s Spader over the telephone one evening, is as follow s: Reeves FedExes Spader a photo o f a fem ale. Spader and the police then have u n til 9 p.m . on the day he receives it to identify and find the young wom an, otherwise she finds youknow-who w aiting when sfie gets home. T h is keeps things m oving in grisly game-show fashion. I f the good guys run out o f tim e one day, they get another chance to beat the clock a day or two later. O nce the process has begun, Charbanic allo cates little screen tim e to character developm ent and atm ospherics, instead using every fram e to m axi m ize the picture’s tension and m om entum . There’s som ething so troubling and sym biotic about the relation ship between the haunted agent and his elusive counterpart that Spader has begun seeing a psychia trist. You know it’s o nly a m atter o f tim e, o f course, u n til sh rin k * M arisa Tom ei is seen by Reeves as w ell and, when all three w ind up in an abandoned old building on the edge o f tow n, the film turns into a Freudian funhouse. Reeves .confesses that his feelings for Spader go deeper than those a reg ular m aniac has for the cop on his
tra il. H e has some sort o f warped idea that the two are meant to be together, that they share a m ean ingful lin k bordering on love con nection. '' Jj uiib -5 c;;i & e-: ■ W e ll, i f news like that doesn’t snap an F B I guy out o f his over m edicated stupor, nothing w ill, and so it’s on to the film ’s explosive fin al m om ents. So, w hat we have here is: A stripped-down story about an illdefined psycho who k ills wom en, w hile a fa irly standard-profile char acter goes through a fa irly standard existential crisis. I f it weren’t for the effective race-against-the-clock device and loopy but intriguing Keanu-has-a-crush-on-Jam es angle, The Watcher w ould be ju st another efficient but forgettable serial-killer th rille r. A s it is, it’s not m uch m ore. T h e film is passably am using and riveting in a m echanical kind o f way. It certainly isn’t frightening. I th in k that w hat you’ve got here more than anything is a regulation suspensefest w hich benefits from the deliberate im pro bab ility o f its casting more than from the talent behind its w ritin g or direction. Th ere’s ju st som ething tantalizing about the prospect o f seeing Keanu play a tru ly bad guy. T h e iro n y is, his character is so sup erficially w ritten and off-handedly inhabited that in the end we never really do.

Finding of No Significant Impact An environmental review for the project has been made by V H C B with concurrence by the State and for the H O M E Program, and is available for public examination and copy ing at 1 4 9 State St., Montpelier during normal business hours. Based on this review, it has been determined that a request for release of funds will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and hence, an environmental impact statement will not be undertaken under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1 9 6 9 (P.L. 9 1 -910). The Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the follow ing: Local hearings and consulta tions with local agencies. Public Com m ents on Finding All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagree ing with this decision are invited to subm it written com ments for consideration to V H C B for the H U D Special Purpose Funds and to the State for the H O M E Program at the addresses listed at the end of this notice no later than October 5, 2 0 0 0 .

All comments so received, will be considered prior to any administrative action or any request for release of funds on the date listed immediately above. Request for Release of Funds VH CB will undertake the pro ject described above with funding from HUD. VH CB is certifying for the H U D Special Purpose Funds that Gustave Seelig in his official capacity as Executive Director, and the State is certifying that Greg Brown, in his official capacity as Commissioner of DHCA, consent to accept jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, deci sion-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, VH CB may use the H U D Special Purpose Funds and H O M E Program funds, and VH CB and the State will have satisfied their responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1 9 6 9 and other envi ronmental responsibilities in 2 4 CFR Part 58. Objections to Release of Funds Objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification will be accepted only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer approved by the State, (b) that the environ mental review record for the project indicated om ission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process, or (c) any other rea son allowed under 2 4 CFR Part 5 8 section 58.75. Objections may be addressed to the Agency of Development and Community Affairs, National Life Building, Drawer 20, Montpelier, VT 0 5 6 0 9 0 5 0 1 for H O M E funds and to VH C B at 1 4 9 State Street, Montpelier, VT 0 5 6 0 2 for H U D Special Purpose Funds.

ARIES
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I predict that by the year 2050 most everyone will have a sweet-tempered android or two that will function as best friends and personal servants, sometimes even as lovers and spouses. The downside o f this development, which will be regarded as an upside by most people 50 years hence, is that these artificial life forms will be pro grammed to act as if their owners can do no wrong. Our descendants may therefore have little incentive to culti vate intimate friendships with unpre dictable humans who don’t treat them like royalty. But that’s then. This is now. N othing would be better for you in the next few weeks than to intensify your quest for intimate friendships with unpredictable but trustworthy humans who treat you well but not like royalty.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-M ay 20): N o one around you seems capable o f seeing, let alone appreciating, the rad ical nature o f your recent labors. To ensure that you don’t take this as a sign that they’re not worth much, I will name them. You’ve been learning, for instance, to love what you can’t control. You’re seeing that you don’t need to imitate humorless drones and greedy jerks in order to match their proficiency. You’re finding out that you can actually change yourself by adjusting other people’s images o f you. And finally, you’re figuring out that sometimes it’s to your advantage to slip through the cracks in the sys tem.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): The Greek philosopher Plato believed we suffer from amnesia about our real origins. H e thought that the soul dwells in paradise before incarnating in a body, but loses all recollection o f it at birth. “Anamnesis” was Plato’s term for the process by which we might overcome our forgetfulness and recover the wonderful truth. In recent years, many people have experienced a dark variant o f anamnesis, resusci tating childhood traumas they have
O
long repressed. I say it’s high time to revive the original sense o f the word, Gemini — and you’re the perfect candidate. The planets say you’re on track to remember who you are and where you came from. N ow get your self to a comfy sanctuary and gaze at the inside o f your mind until you’re basking in your most pleasurably piv otal and reassuring memories.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): I’m in a cranky, out-of-sync mood. So why don’t I wait to compose your oracle until I’ve banished my blahs? Because that would go against the grain o f everything I believe in. As a practicing artist and honorary female, I never ignore my feelings and try to power through with business-asusual. I’m devoutly committed to learning from my sour states. They almost always harbor valuable secrets that become available to me only if I treat them with patient respect. The trick, o f course, is to not go too far and begin wallowing in them. There’s a fine line between taking my suffer ing seriously and taking it too damn seriously. All o f what I’ve just said is meant to serve as role modeling for you, Cancerian, as you navigate your way through this week.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): The Relationships Olympics will get under way shortly. Your early compulsories include Freestyle Commitment, Synchronized MindReading, Endurance-Kissing and the Jealousy Squelch. In a few days, if you make the cuts, you’ll have earned the right to compete in the Triple Backwards Leap o f Faith and the Sexual Healing Pentathlon. You have a realistic shot at a medal in both these categories — especially if you’ve studied and used all the secret tantric tips I’ve slipped you in recent months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The planets are sentient beings whose intelligence is beyond our capacity to perceive. Still, they love to be acknowledged by us humans. To assist you in remembering them in correct order (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), I’ve cooked up mnemonic devices. In the following phrases, the first letter o f each word corresponds to the first letter o f a heavenly body. 1. Many Virgos’ Errant Mirages Joyfully Sink Under Nim ble Prodding. 2. Murky Valuable Emotions Might Just Solidify Upon Nuanced Persistence. 3. Melodra matic Victimhood Entirely Melts, Jettisoning Silly, Ugly Nostalgia Pains. 4. Monkish Virgos Embrace Muses Jubilantly, Spurring Utopian Nuzzle Perfection. (By the way, these phrases are magic spells specially designed for your use this week. And they really work!)
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): The past few weeks have been a test. They have only been a kick-ass, crazy-mak ing test. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been given poetic license to dance naked down a busy street at high noon while caterwauling a German transla tion o f Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” in a Cajun accent. As I hope you can plainly see now, though, it makes no difference whether you truly went to hell and back or just performed a simulated version o f that trip in the privacy o f your own mind. The result in either case is exactly the same. You used to just be smart. N ow you’re freakin’ wise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you were about to graduate (which in a sense you are), and you handed me your yearbook, this is
QUARIUS
what I’d write in it: “May you stay as fiercely cute as you are. May the transformations you bravely unleash next in your life be greeted with excitement and curiosity, not fear and resistance. May you think deep thoughts without becoming a preten tious know-it-all. May you stay on really good terms with G spots, X fac tors, and the C students who seem to be in charge o f running everything. May you never have a cat food jingle running through your head while you make love. Adoringly, Your Secret Admirer.”
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-D ec. 21): The Kiriwina society o f the Trobriand Islands have a word, mokita, that refers to a truth everyone is aware o f but no one ever talks about. D o you know what the mokita is among your own people? If you want your tribe to avoid becoming stagnant in the next few months, I believe you should lead the way in dealing more forthrightly with its least discussed but most draining lim itation. Even if it means deflating the illusion you’re most fond of. Even if it requires you to ask people you respect to explore mysteries they’ve staunchly ignored.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): As I woke up this morning, a voice from my dream said, “Tell Capricorn that the juggler should go for the jugular.” Let’s analyze the symbolism o f that enigmatic oracle. A juggler is skilled at an art that looks simple but takes a lot o f practice. W ith a light touch and burning con centration, the juggler improvises buoyant stability in the midst o f bub bling flux. Maybe the informant in my dream was suggesting that this is the frame o f mind you should be in as you close in on your prey.
(Jan. 20!eb. 18): Congratulations, you ippery survivor. You’ve eached the end o f the Big Squeeze. You’ve served your time in the bottleneck. You may hereby relax your pinched expression, your puck ered expectations and your anal sphincter. N ow let the Hour o f the Guinea Pig begin. A host o f elegant experiments will soon be available for you to browse. Please research each one thoroughly before volunteering, and try to get yourself allied with researchers who have a wealth o f adroit experience and a fondness for playing.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You want epic prophecy in the style o f the ancients? Here it is, baby. You will soon take the first step in a ram bling journey that will begin near the magic garage and lead you to the painted forest. There, after defeating the servants o f the lazy wizard, you’ll encounter a giant midget through whose influence you will be faced with too many choices. W ill you opt for the golden eggs, O seeker, or the silver chalice? A blissful dunk in the river o f forgetfulness or an ascetic vacation in the cave o f knowledge? The key to fishy treasure in the haunted parking lot or the map to the pot o f shoes at the end o f the dark rainbow? Heed well these magic passwords, O pilgrim, for they will keep you focused when the decisions seem too momentous: slunky dunky poochy patchy goo. .. itchy crunchy wibblie wobblie boo. ®

Vo you. have horror stories from answering personal ads? Given up on singles introduction companies? Is the "online”world a bit too strange foryou? Tired of searching the dance or club floors for a real relationship? Feeling that there are no "normal”people left who are single and available? Well, I answeredyes to all of the above. How aboutyou? Yes, I'm searching for that "special someone”too. I've explored far and wide... and without luck. I know she is out there... and I'm hoping she is reading this. So who am I and why such a large ad? Because I think it’s worth it if it means I will findyou... the woman of my dreams. Any amount of time and money is worth finding the love ofyour life. As for who lam, well, I hope I can tellyou in person. But, here is a little about me: Stable, successful working professional male V Age 30,6' tall, 150 lbs, blue eyes, dark hair,moustache/goatee, glasses fP Never married, no children, no criminal record, no drugs, and debt-free - except for a house mortgage! V Master’s degree V Honest, patient, responsible, curious, loyal, hard-work ing and a sense of humor V Variety of interests including hiking camping movies, music 8z theater, reading & writing, history, politics, travel, and otherwisejust learning about the world around me... but no sky-diving or bungee-jumping! So why is someone so "normal" looking for love here? Haveyou foundyour future life partner at the baryet? Or in the personal ads? Or through an introductions company? Are your friends and co-workers already married? This is a tough state to find single people, and in our increasingly busy, fastpaced, crazy society, it’s a challenge to meet "the one.” I’ve tried the conventional methods with little success -and since I’m looking for someone a little unconventional, here we are! I'll be honest.
There are certain qualities or features I’m hoping to find in any woman. It’s been often said thatyou find love in unexpected places. This is the kind of woman who could steal my heart: Stable,
working professional female between the ages of 25 and 35 V Physically healthy & fit, non-smoker, no drugs, no children IP Educated 8z financially stable Honest, patient, responsible, curious, loyal, hard-working and funny.
Most importantly, though, I’m interested in finding a committed, long-term relationship with the goal of creating a life together... a dedication to discovering whether a fairy tale ending can happen for us! Does this sound likeyou? I can’tguarantee you happiness every moment of every day. I can’t promiseyou a mansion or trips to the Bahamas. I really can’t promise you fame or riches of any type. But I can promise that l will do my very best to make each day better than the day before... and always my love. if this has touched even a small part ofyour heart, I'd like to hear fromyou. Perhaps a hidden voice is telling you to take one more chance at finding that someone special? Can giving this a try be any worse than another night at a crowded, smokey bar? Awaiting YOU...
