political system itself. Not to mention the injury all this is causing to America’s ability to deal with international prob lems of every kind. Isn’t this kind of subverting of the Constitution closer to what the Founding Fathers were likely to have had in mind about the meaning of “high crimes and misdemeanors” than the innovative use of a cigar? Justin Joffe Burlington

THANKS FOR TH E ENLIGHTENM ENT Only once before have I had the sense of total enlight enment about events in Washington that Peter Kurth’s Crank Call, “Falling Starr?” provided [September 19]. And that was way back in the Watergate era, when, at times, Garry Trudeau (in “Doonesbury”) seemed to be the only one on Earth who actually understood what was really going on. Mr. Kurth’s analysis of the Starr-Clinton affair leaves me with the same feeling — so that’s what it’s all about. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Two thoughts his column triggered: 1. No wonder Gingrich and his boys are out to dismantle what they like to call “Big Government.” W ithout it, who will stand in the way of the Big Corporations that line the pockets of Mr. G and his ilk? Have to be the tooth fairy, because the executives of the Big Corporations certainly won’t be voted out by the stockholders who get rich when the CEOs lay off workers, raise

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS I sympathize with some of Peter Kurth’s concerns about the Clinton sex scandal, espe cially the part about insipid, moralizing judgments on cer tain acts between consenting adults which go on behind closed doors [“Falling Starr? September 19]. Unfortunately, the President didn’t close his door or draw his blinds, though his apartment faced directly onto one of the busiest thoroughfares in the nation. Mr. Clinton really has no one to blame but himself. Furthermore, isn’t it true that Mr. Kurth has focused the attention of “Crank Call” on * the Clintori-Lewinsky matter as much as anyone else in the to America — Mr. Starr , media? W hat’s worse, while (Peeping Ken?) criticizing CBS, Fox, CNN, and the Republican Party, or etc., for their coverage, he nev Mr. Clinton? Starr and ertheless accepts the results of Gingrich’s insistence on suffo their polls: totally random cating us with details, not Mr. Clinton’s sexual peccadillos, are affairs which reflect at best per haps no more than 10 percent creating an image of the age of the people who actually American political and judicial vote in this country. On the systems that will make us the contrary, polls of registered vot laughing stock of the world for a generation. And, not only are ers and those otherwise most likely to vote in November they trying to overthrow the show 60 to 70 percentage dis choice of the voters, but (as approval of the President, and Mr. Kurth argues so well) they disapproval of Republicans for are trying to undermine the

not doing enough to get rid of Clinton. If they want to forestall big gains for Gingrich and the “Contract on America,” isn’t this a reality Democrats ought to attend to more carefully? — John Shaplin Burlington SUBLIME SLIME Re: The letter in the September 23rd issue [“A Rhyme for Slime”]. Whoever wrote the brilliant parody of “As Time Goes By” (“As Slime Goes By”), forgot to point out that the title of the classic film Casablanca means in Spanish, “white house.” Ironic, ain’t it? — E.R. Uanamesro London, England BAD HEADLINES HAPPEN? The South End Art Hop was a great success this year, thanks to the hundreds of vol unteers, artists, hosts and spon sors who worked hard and gave generously to make it happen. Seven Days has been a sponsor of the Art Hop for several years. It was therefore with dis appointment that I read your “Backtalk” recap entitled, “Shit Hoppens” [September 23] This misguided play on words implies that: 1) shit = art 2) that the Art Hop occurred without apparent effort. Both ideas are false. It is rare to see the word “shit” in your weekly arts pub lication, and so to see it applied to such an innovative, commu nity-based art event involving 150 artists showing at over 60 sites in Burlington’s South End is truly perplexing. I am per fectly aware of the casual defin ition of “shit” to mean simply

“thing,” but do you really feel that shit is an appropriate “pro gressive” metaphor for art, and more specifically for the Art Hop? As a visual artist, I sympa thize with your efforts at Seven Days to work with the power of metaphor. I can only wish you better luck in devising titillat ing, witty and relevant euphemisms for future articles. — Maea Brandt Burlington (Brandt was the organizer o f South End Art Hop ’98) GIVING CREDIT We were pleased to see your piece, “Nap Time,” in this week’s Seven Days [“Backtalk,” September 23] about Dug Nap’s printed greeting cards. Just one small correction: The loan which enabled Nap to get his cards printed came not from a bank, but from Vermont Development Credit Union. As Vermont’s only financial institution with a social mis sion, Vermont Development provides credit and other finan cial services to people who are not served by the traditional banking sector, including lowincome families, immigrants, women, people of color and small business... ? — Antonia Bullard Burlington L e t t e r s P o l ic y : S E V E N D A Y S w a n ts yo u r ra n ts and ra v e s , in 2 5 0 w o rd s or le s s .

Put on a Happy Face

The Honeymoon Is Over ^ A bride-to-be on the Greek island of Crete suffered a ner vous breakdown the night before her wedding when she took friends to the couple’s new home to see her gown and discovered the groom in the arms of his best man. “W hat was really upsetting for her was that he was wearing her wedding dress when she caught him in their own bed,” a police officer in Heraklion told the Athens news agency. “Her family has sworn revenge if they ever find him.”

Nobel Peace-andQuiet Prize The Japanese company Medic Inc. reported it has sold about 6000 of its year-old Wave Wall devices, which block mobile-phone calls. The pocket-size product, which has a range of about 20 feet, sells for $480 and is being bought by the growing number of Japanese people who the com pany said object to the inces sant ringing o f mobile phones in public places. “Japanese peoples’ manners have gone from bad to worse,” said Kyoin Takafuji, Medics direc tor. “Our product compensates for this with technology.”

After discovering that tigers will attack people only from behind, the government of India’s West Bengal state began issuing citizens rubber masks to wear on the back of their heads. Authorities reported that in its first year, the pro gram cut the number of deaths by tiger attack from 60 the year before to three.

Who Needs Money? An armed man with a plas tic bag covering his face held v up the Maison du Caviar in central Brussels, making off with six or seven bottles of champagne and 40 tins of caviar. The Belga news agency reported the man also grabbed $885 in cash and a mobile phone. • Two men robbed at least five beauty supply stores in two Maryland counties, taking no cash but fleeing with more than $3000 in scissors and electric hair clippers. Each time, one of the robbers pulled a trash bag out of his pocket and demanded the imple ments. “This person is coming in, threatening the employees and stealing scissors — that’s bizarre. I guess he decided he just really wants scissors,” said Anne Arundel County police spokesperson Carol Frye, who

described the man as having very short hair.

Lucky Day When Klaus Schmidt, 64, suffered serious heart problems and had difficulty breathing while on a Lufthansa flight from Dublin to Frankfurt, the chief flight attendant asked if there was a doctor on board. In facty there were 40 — the entire German delegation to an international medical semi nar in Ireland. According to the Daily Telegraphy many car ried newly developed heart drugs in their carry-on bags. After quick treatment and recovery, Schmidt told a flight attendant, “I was lucky to choose the right flight. I’d been thinking of flying back the next day and then changed my mind.”

five years ago, South American green iguanas are being turned loose by the hundreds in Los Angeles. Having grown from cute little lizards to six-footlong pests that whip their owners with heavy tails, the abandoned reptiles are described as homeless, mal nourished and very angry. Though not usually considered dangerous, iguanas have point ed teeth, sharp claws and surg ing hormonal cycles, according to Martine Colette at the Wildlife Waystation in Tujunga, California, who notes the reptiles can injure an arm simply by hanging on and can move faster than people. “They need room to roam,” Colette said.

Stupid Is as Stupid Does Ted Turner told the Smart Growth Conference in Atlanta in September that to try to reduce the world’s population, families should have only one child. “We’ve been stupid to let the world’s population get to six billion people,” said Turner, who is the father of at least five.

Who You Gonna Call? Kim Taylor pleaded with police from a pay phone in San Jose, California, to send someone to remove a mattress from the middle of a highway, but the dispatcher told her it was the California Highway Patrol’s responsibility and refused to transfer her call.

JUICE BAR! JUICE BAR! JUICE BAR!

“Never mind,” Taylor said, “I’ll just let somebody get ~ killed.” Less than a half-hour later, a station wagon swerved to avoid the mattress and rolled over, killing passenger Louis Saveikis, 75. • A man who called San Bernadino Community Hospital in Fontana, California, identified himself as a convicted stalker of a teenage girl, claimed he was distraught and needed a tollfree crisis hotline to talk to. Nurse Linda Reno looked in the phone book under “Crisis — A 24-Hour Emergency Help Line” and gave the man the number listed. The man dialed the number and got a recording telling the man how he could arrange to talk to an underage girl or a porn queen. After the man called back and complained, Reno discovered that the crisis line had been disconnected and the number reassigned to a sex line. When the San Bernadino Sun ran a story about the mix-up that quoted Reno, the hospital fired her. “They said I put the hospital in a bad light,” she . , said. ( 7)

TALE OF TWO CITIES:

Only two Vermont burgs made the grade in the new edition of The Hundred Best Small A rt Towns in America — down from four Green Mountain art meccas in the last printing. Burlington moved up from sev enth to sixth in the ranking because of improved exhibition opportunities for visual artists. Montpelier scored 65th, knocking out Woodstock, Johnson and Middlebury this time around. Author John Villani got a few things wrong, though. When he’s in town next Tuesday signing books at Borders, someone should point out he is sitting in the former Samsara Cafe, which is listed as a Burlington “hangout” in the book, along with the now-defunct Orbit Lounge. Also, last we checked the Clarke Galleries were located in Stowe, not Burlington. And the Robert Paul Gallery left downtown two years ago to sell prints and posters at the University Mall — in South Burlington. As for Chassman & Bern, well, let’s just say a short stroll on Church Street during Villani’s last visit would have gone a long way toward making this book more accurate. The Exquisite Corpse Artsite gets one mention in the three-page writeup. The Fleming Museum also gets short shrift, with a perfunctory observation that the museum “maintains a decidedly historical focus in its exhibitions, through it does present changing shows of work by living artists at its Wolcott Gallery.” Huh? Overall, though, Burlington comes off looking great — especially Club Toast and the Flynn Theatre, which get major “spillover” credit for much of the cultural activity around them. By the time the next edition comes out, there should be a long-awaited alter native performance space to write about. Yesterday the Flynn announced yet another real estate acquisition, which signficantly increases its Main Street acreage to include the build ing that currently houses the Last Chance Saloon. Although ca|L won’t be until the new millennium, the space ited for theatfr and dance. W ith a few lights, ^ Seijus^ what the culturati ordered. A “potential” art lm house may come on line even sooner, thanks to a $100,000 pledge earmarked as movie money. In the mean time, look out for a November production by Stephen Goldberg in the Main Street storefront formerly occupied by Chicago Bicycle. It’s a tentative first step for the Flynn, which is perfectly positioned to help house the growing arts scene it helped inspire.

IN BRIEF: Was it a dirty deal that unseated long-time edi tor Tim McQuiston and replaced the locks on the doors at Vermont Business Magazine? Acknowledging he is gone “in fact but not technically,” McQuiston declined to confirm reports of a hostile takeover at the magazine because “there is legal action involved.” Fightin’ words. Neither publisher John Boutin nor co-owner Jim Lurie returned phone calls to clarify the situation . . . One dollar at a time, Onion River Arts Council is working its way out of financial peril. “Six months a ago there was a real good chance we might not be here this fall,” director Diane Manion says of the Montpelier-based arts organization. In the past few months, the organization has reduced its debt from $37,000 to $8000. “We have been saying that if everybody we worked with in the course of a year gave a dollar, that would get us out of debt,” Manion says. “All summer long, I would come to work to find one- and five-dollar bills stuffed under the door. We feel the community came forward and said loud and clear, ‘Yeah, we want you.’ That meant as much to us as retiring the debt” . . . Unlike its official bird and flower, Vermont has a short-term relationship with its poet laureate. Robert Frost held the post for nearly two decades, posthu mously, until former governor Madeleine Kunin recom mended a fresh face and four-year term limit. Subsequent bards have both been Pulitzer Prize winners. Louise Gluck replaced Galway Kinnell, but her reign expires at the end of the year. Nominations are due at the Vermont Arts Council by the end of next week . . . You have to be a bit of a sleuth to sniff out the newest eating experience in Burlington. The 32-year-old owner of Opaline shares the same marketing philosophy as his predecessors in the space formerly occupied by Iron Wolf. “We want to keep it very quiet,” owner Steve Perei says of his elegant out-of-the-way restaurant specializ ing in cuisine from southwestern France. White tablecloths, too. The doors are unofficially open, but business starts for real this weekend at One Lawson Lane. Bon appetit. ®

ant to rip the half-pipe like a lady? Wondering about that little love package in the belly while crav ing some carves? Do those hips really give girls another way to bust-out on the bumps? And did Monica really mention that snowboarding was her greatest thrill? Answers to those ques tions — well, maybe not about Monica — and more are com ing soon to a bookstore near you. In a sport long marketed to guys in the throes of teen testosterone, a new book cap tures the thrill for the other half: Snowboarding: A Womans Guide. Written by former pro rider Julia Carlson of Stowe, it covers everything from tips for a female approach to the vaunt

keters’ mold of all-boy posses running roughshod through the hills. From about 25 percent of the market a year ago, women now comprise about 35 per cent, and advertisers appear to M ountaitt^^w c o m m e r o ^ ^ ^ with a girl on a snowboard ' screaming and ripping through the sky off a cliff into oblivion. The dudes nearby are impressed. “Thank heaven for little girls,” intones the voice over. Think what you will about the swill being offered, the commercial’s cool for what it’s not about — guys obsessed with the bodies of girls. Here, the attraction’s an attitude, one that snarls in your face from one rowdy chick. Julia Carlson is one of those girls. But she’s no commercial;

Read it and learn to “spank the crossover and drive the knees,” the way a woman should. With snowboarding’s grow ing popularity worldwide, women are breaking the mar

shes a real live snowboarder — a former World Cup rider and National champ — and her book is likely to get the rest of the girls screaming and ripping, too. Carlson first started writing when she was on the pro tour — Ski Racing magazine wanted an on-tour correspondent. She wrote just one article before an accident tore the ligaments in

her ankle and forced her to quit. But that got the ball rolling. Snowboarding: A Womans Guide is written with contributions from such estab lished hardcore boarders as pro rider Betsy Shaw and Team m letty founder Ali Napolitano, who coined the term “Ride . Like a Girl.” It’s a decidedly female take on a sport in which, Carlson says, “women were always there and always will be.” A fresh little package of brass and class, 30-year-old Carlson stands five feet tall and is busting with energy. Her face is typically all smile. Though she can still ride with the best, now she’s settled down a little, turning the constant grind of competition into her own three “Rs” — writing, riding and relaxing. “My mom was saying,” she notes of her recent milestone birthday, “you set up all these deadlines for yourself, like you’re supposed to have a real job and a house and a spouse, and then you get there and none of it’s happened. You stress about it till the deadline, and then you get there, and...oh well. “I like 30,” Carlson pro claims. “The pressure’s off.” Born and bred in Stowe, Carlson was raised a skier, then took up snowboarding in 1989 when she became bored with the boards. After graduating from the University of Vermont in 1990, she moved to Colorado and found it was nice to just “goof off” for a year. But then she ended up riding for real and thought that was pretty cool, too. After a stint on the Continued on page 11

Heading fairly straight at the wall, having enough speed but not too much, and keeping your mid section firm will all make the 180 easier. It also helps to spot your landing, and to lead the whole motion with your hands. Eventually you get a nice rhythm going, and it’s time to crank it up a notch. You want to get above the lip on every hit, so you add juice a little at a time and build up to it. The line with the frontside hit first feels most comfortable, so you add more speed going into the first hit. You push down into

s-l-o-w-l-y, without the distrac tions or pressure of traffic. Time for some warm-up runs. You stand up and drop in, heading for the backside wall first. Remember to keep the speed down — your only goal at first is to get a feel for it. You take the first hit nice and easy, going up the wall on your heelside edge, pulling the board around 180 degrees as you start to stall, and then dropping back in on your toeside edge. This part o f riding the pipe is always the same: You take off and land on your uphill edge. Next you cross the fla t bottom, heading for the frontside wall. Up on your toeside, nice clean 180, drop back in on your heelside. As you wait for your mus cles to coordinate with your brain, you wind up sliding down the wall without chang ing edges on your first few hits. As you hike back up for anoth er run, you think quick switch. As you ride up the wall, you

your board through the transi tion, pumping the wall, and spot the lip. When you hit it you jump, extending first and then tucking your legs up close to your body as you stall in midair. As you drop back in, you turn, pointing the nose of your board back into the pipe and looking for your landing. Pretty soon you’re an adren aline slave, hiking way past pooped in search of bigger air and new tricks. As you get more air, it’s actually easier to hold it all together if you grab. First you grab your toeside edge off that first frontside hit because your hand is already there and so is your board. Don’t get too psyched and freak though; you don’t want to miss the landing. Once you nail it, you do the same grab off a backside hit until you can stick that one, too. From there it all flows pret ty naturally. You switch hands, so you can grab both sides of your board on either wall of Continued on page 4 5

No longer a member of the Burton crew, Carlson runs her own show now, as head coach at several all-girl snow boarding camps during the winter at Sugarbush. Girls have had a lot of catching up to do in snow boarding. But the gender gap has narrowed, according to Carlson, since a team manager asked her, “Why should I give money to a

— Julia Carlson competing female?” “There are still so many pro-riders, where the guy gets paid six or seven figures and the girl gets paid 25 to 30 grand,” Carlson laments, “and that’s as true today as when I was out there. “That’s the kind of stuff,” she adds, “that I’ll never be able to ignore. I’ll never think it’s right, I’ll never think it’s smart.” Recalling a college party in the early ’90s with a mix of all her male and female rider friends, Carlson says, “back then it was never a girl thing or a guy thing, it was just snowboarding.” In Snowboarding: A Womans Guide, Carlson out lines the top 10 reasons why snowboarding rules — leav ing the tenth for the reader and potential rider to decide. But the ninth seems to be the ranking rule for the time: “It’s not just for punks anymore.” And therein lies one of the biggest reasons to get out there — snowboard ing is a great pleasure for anyone willing to take the plunge. Carlson urges women to join the team, ride like a girl, and shred with the Bettys. And as they make bigger strides in the sport, it can only be good for boys. (Z)

ig Apple culture vultures flock to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the MOMA, the Guggenheim and the Whitney. The nation’s capi tal boasts the Smithsonian. And here in the Green Mountain State, we can point with pride to the Brandon-Rutland corri dor, home to a quartet of home-grown museums: the New England Maple Museum, the Doll and Train Museum, Teenies Tiny Poultry Farm and Museum, and last but not least,

the Vermont Ski Museum. If you’re itching to ogle old trail signs, pining to peruse an avalanche of boots, or aching to examine the handsome red coat worn at the 1968 Winter Games by Vermont’s own gold grabbing Barbara Cochran, then the Vermont Ski Museum is the place for you. Roy Newton opened his ski shrine in 1988, the same year he began publishing Vermont Ski News. While making his rounds for the paper, he says, he found himself amassing an evermounting assortment of skiing

treasures — discarded lift chairs, ski patrol patches and other artifacts that simply begged to be organized and preserved. After the collection went on display, Vermont ski greats like Rutland’s Suzy “Chapstick” Chaffee, beefcake ski instructor Neil Robinson and the multi-medaled mem bers of the Cochran clan start ed sending their memorabilia Newton’s way. His holdings snow-balled. Newton has never invento ried or catalogued his collec tion, but guesses that it cur rently includes about 4000 items. As of this writing, the whole kit and caboodle is being moved from its first home — an old converted barn behind the Brandon Inn — to a new commercial building beside Cortina Inn. The old site was “too off the beaten path,” Newton says. He hopes to pull in more drive-by traffic at the new facility, which is right on Route 4 in Mendon, within spitting distance of Pico Mountain. Those who do stop by will discover a treasure-trove of clues about Vermont’s ski industry and the champion skiers it has produced. Though Newton argues that he’s not a ski historian, his collection also offers insights into the state’s skiing past. In a section devot ed to the town of Brandon, vis itors can read laminated news paper clippings describing the Wall Street Ski Club’s annual excursions to Brandon’s Eagle Beak Mountain in the late 1930s. After work on Friday, the brokers would board the night train at Grand Central Station and arrive at the Brandon Inn Saturday morn ing. On Sunday night they’d ride back, returning to the city just in time to change into the business clothes and make it back to Wall Street to begin the day’s trading. In between, there were cocktail parties, dances, and of course the main event: the thrill of skiing a mountain that was outfitted with the first ski tow in the country. “It takes only 30 minutes from the time you hook onto the first tow until you are at the summit of Eagle Beak,” a 1939 New York Sun write-up breathlessly reports. Those hoary old days come back to life at the museum in stacks of antique skis and bam boo poles. A pair of wooden, seven-foot skis dated 1850 fea ture foot platforms and leather straps. Removable climbing skins strapped to the under sides of the blades add traction for ascending the slope on foot. Near the museum entrance sits what looks like an ancient wooden snowboard. It turns out to be one of the skids Admiral Richard Byrd used to land his plane on the Antarctic

For Newton, the Vermont Ski Museum is more than just a warehouse of artifacts. It’s his way of paying homage to a spe cial class of Green Mountain heroes and the special places that produce them. “Vermont has contributed to much in terms of skiers,” Newton reflects. “Our athletes carry our banner all over the world.

October 7, 1998

ootball and skiing may not appear to have much in common, but they do share one unfortunate thing: Skiing produces about the same number o f injuries as American football. And lest the riders among us start smirking, snow boarding is no safer, says Dr. Robert Johnson, an interna tionally recognized physician and sports medicine researcher in the University of Vermont’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. This revelation wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s been rocking the bumps on a regular basis. But at a sports-medicine conference in Burlington last week, Johnson presented preliminary findings on new trends in ski injuries that may rock the ski world in another way. Though the physi cian cautions that his research is still based on a statistically insignificant sample, early data suggest the ad slogan for new shaped skis — “they take you where you’ve never been before” — may have an unwelcome-

m m

Advanced skiers riding the hew carving skis seem to be sustaining more injuries than those on conventional boards, Johnson says. Beginners, it

should be noted, had fewer injuries on the shaped skis, per haps because they fell less than they might have with the old equipment. If new data should confirm the expert skier trend, it could be a substantial blow to an industry counting on the new, easy-to-turn fat skis to beef up their bottom line. But for Johnson, and his colleague Carl Ettlinger of Underhill Center, deflating industry hopes wouldn’t be entirely uncharted terrain. Ettlinger, an adjunct professor of mechanical engineering at UVM, and Johnson have been on the front lines of the battle against ski- and snowboardrelated injuries for nearly three decades. Well before Austria’s Olympic medalist Hermmanator was flying through the air with the great est of ease, Ettlinger and Johnson were creating devices to aid in proper ski-binding release — or studying the car nage when they didn’t release. In fact, every major ski safety device since the invention of releasable bindings has been developed, studied and/or test ed by Ettlinger and Johnson, along with their “statistical con science,” Dr. Jasper Shealy. Chris Brown, a mechanical engineering professor and ski

safety consultant in Norwich, credits the UVM research — originated by biomechanics pioneer Professor John Outwater — with saving the United States an estimated $2 billion in prevented injuries. “Had skiing been a disease instead of a sport, this group would have gotten a Nobel Prize in medicine,” affirms Brown, a former UVM ski team captain and Ettlinger pro tege. Although the Nobel may not be forthcoming, Ettlinger’s earned a more dubious distinc tion within the close confines of the ski industry. “He’s leg endary for being brilliant and for frustrating nearly everyone he comes into contact with,” says one former binding prod uct manager, who recalls a typi cal Ettlinger response to a batch of French-made product that tested poorly. “Are you going to go over there and beat those frogs over the head or what?” he reportedly asked. But despite his mercurial persona, Ettlinger’s ski safety enterprises are recognized in the industry as a safety net for skiers and shop technicians. Under the moniker of Vermont Safety Research, Ettlinger sells a patented ski-binding test-release device, markets an educational program designed to reduce the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, injury, and creates print and video training materials for ski-shop techni cians. While not exactly Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Johnson’s a self-described “curmudgeon” and Ettlinger can be self-depre cating and witty — the two fiftysomething men do seem to create a whole that’s greater

nothing,” as he puts it, he saw the opportunity to look beyond the scalpel and carve a niche researching ski injuries. Ettlinger, coincidentally, fol lowed a similarly opportunistic route. Fresh from a stint “blow ing things up and knocking things down” as a combat engi neer in Vietnam, the former UVM fullback had wanted to return to Vermont and work for General Electric on “bigger and better bombs.” Instead, he accepted an offer from the now-retired Dr. Outwater to study ski mechanics. “This sounded interesting. Instead of blowing up the world, Outwater wanted me to help make the world safe for rich people’s kids,” Ettlinger says, indicating the irony wasn’t lost on him. Fortuitously, Ettlinger and Outwater developed a patented system for measuring the force needed to release a ski binding — an invention that butters his bread to this day. The current release-calibration device fetch es $2250 per unit and is used by some 5000 ski shops — well over 90 percent of the total U.S. market. Although Ettlinger has an entrepreneur’s creative energy, one-track thinking — like a focus on making money — doesn’t seem to be his forte, or his motivation. In an incessant flow of information, he reveals that he’s trying to stem the flow of red ink in his regional skishop mechanics training ses sions by creating 40 hours of video training films. “The more workshops we held, the more money we lost,” he says, laugh ing at himself before showing off his new $250,000 film stu dio, and launching into a brief

-Chris Brown, former UVM ski team caotai than the sum of their parts. At Sugarbush, for instance, where the pair operates a research sta tion, Johnson’s credibility and even temper have helped guide them through different man agement teams, ensuring an outlet for Ettlinger to collect data and field-test his equip ment. “There’s no incentive to management to have a nut like me on campus,” admits Ettlinger, also an inveterate sailor who bears a fairly strong resemblance to Ernest Hemingway. If Ettlinger’s the mad scien tist, Johnson’s the grounded one. An Iowa native, Johnson learned to ski during his assign ment at the former Loring Air Force Base in Maine from 1969 to 1971.

lecture on the benefits of non linear editing. But Ettlinger does have the ability to focus on problems and stick with them. Along with Johnson, he devoted 17 years to convincing ski industry executives to adopt consistent and useful standards for manu facturing and servicing the boot/binding system. The effort culminated in 1987, when key standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials replaced an antiquat ed German system, known as D IN settings and service proce dures. Not a sexy issue, but their proudest moment, the two men agree. Over apres-ski cocktails, however, skiers tend to focus on the popular notion that the sport isn’t getting any safer.

garden, and his bovine por traits look viewers squarely in the eye, his hotly hued land scapes and coolly balanced sculptural works are what real ly steal the show. The mobile “Calder Descending a Staircase” refers to both the inventor of mobiles and Duchamp’s 1916 masterpiece, “Nu Descendant un Escalier.” It’s a simple assemblage of crescent-cut CDs that hang in an irides cent helix from thread-thin wires to catch the light. Like the Duchamp painting, it has

with low-angled light, and in the large-scale oil painting “Lake Champlain,” twilight’s eeriness is captured without sentimentality. “Lilypond in Fall” lifts into the jeweled color of forest foliage, and it almost burns the eyes with turquoise, orange and a range of succulent reds. The “Hubble’s Pasture” part of the show is a series of views from the telescope painted in acid-trip hues. From the paisley of Jupiter’s clouds to galaxies dying and being born, Williams suggests

that space is an ongoing har monic confrontation. The 1997 piece, “Messier Object #16,” is an expansive review of one of Hubble’s most famous images. The object is a bright billow of interstellar gas that seems to move like an oil rain bow on wet asphalt. Williams really does paint his pictures; there’s always a gutsy amount of layering going on, even in his most delicate forms. Light years away from the gossamer hues of Messier, the cows seem to have been rolling in mud. They have a brisdy texture, and their faces crowd the edges o f the canvas to rub against their barn board frames as if clamoring to be fed. The “truth” may be in their eyes, stupid yet watchful. But considering the advent of cattle prods, who can blame them? In these works Williams is again being a real ist without real com mentary. Though “the Truth About Cows” is clever in the show title, these muddy cows are not the real meat of Williams’ exhibition. In his four mani festations — painter of land scapes, painter of the stars, painter o f Holsteins, and sculptor — a unified aesthetic for Williams encompasses for mal equilibrium and clean, unsoiled space. Such is diffi cult to achieve when your sub ject insists on chewing cud and you are sculpting with weathered steel and rocks. Nevertheless, Williams appears to pull it off very well, despite the tricky subject matter. And it’s unlikely that he’ll be sued by either NASA or Woody Jackson. ®

Based on the 1979 novel by Richard Matheson, What Dreams May Come is a visually sumptuous but emotionally grueling exercise in Holly wood theology. The film offers the story of the unluckiest family that ever lived. Next to these poor souls, the Flying Wallendas look charmed. First the family dog dies a painful death. Then the two adolescent children get wiped out in a car crash. Robin Williams plays their father, and the movie barely gives him time to repress his grief before polishing him off, too. Just as Dad’s getting the celestial tour from afterlife guide Cuba Gooding Jr., Mom (Annabella Sciorra) decides to save the Fates the trouble and takes her own life. Any sort of otherworldly family reunion U N D Y IN G LO V E Williams looks high and low for Sciorra in the latest from Vincent Ward. has to wait, however, because committing suicide earns her a one-way ticket to the underworld, and it WHAT DREAMS MAY becomes Williams’ mission in death to find his COME**** wife so they can spend eternity together. In the new film from Vincent (Map o f the As kooky as it all sounds, the picture works.

The Creator of the Universe merits a vious Tinseltown deathfests like Ghost. Williams, single mention in the course of the movies near for his part, turns in work that I’d rate infinitely ly 120 minutes, but otherwise is left: quite liter more Oscar-worthy than the performance for ally out of the picture. which he was given one. It’s a sort of backhanded compliment to What Dreams May Come certainly isn’t Ward, though, that I found God’s absence from Shakespeare, or even Dante, for that matter. But the cast so disappointing. The director has done its metaphysics make for one hell of a heavenly such a bang-up job giving shape to the great ride, and a headier trip than Hollywood is likely beyond that it would have been fun to see what to offer up again any time soon. he might have made of the man upstairs. f ii m s

The answers, however, are not always easy to hear. Complex and profound can play quite differently to an audience than to members of a cast. This is discomfitingly evi dent in the University of Vermont Department of Theaters current production of Getting Out. Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning play wright of ’Night Mother, Marsha Norman, Getting Out tracks a female ex-con, Arlene, who is trying to reenter society after eight years in an Alabama slammer. Kate Laflin plays Arlene with convincing fragility

incarceration are played out by Katrina Marie Gemini as the hellcat “Arlie.” Designed by Jeff Modereger, with lighting by William Schenk, the set is like the interior of a huge cage — an effect heightened by the tedious intercom announce ments delivered by some face less prison official at the top of each act. A woman stigmatized by her past battles self-doubt on a dangerous road to an uncertain future — its not exactly Annie. And a story such as this, like prison itself, is no place for the weak. Virtually everyone who enters Arlene’s midst has the power to make or break her. As Arlenes mother, Ruth Wallman * is an industrial-strength spirit killer, essentially washing her hands of her daughter with a box of household items and bad news about Arlene’s son. Carl, the boy’s father and Arlene’s former pimp, is played by Greg Phelps with the kind of short-fused volatility that

as she confronts scumbags from her former life. They welcome her home by deflating her hopes for a fresh start and try ing to drag her back to her wicked ways.

FORMOREINFORMATIONANDOTHERLOCATIONS,CALLI-800-VSC-220S. LOOSE ENDS: “Arlene” contemplates life on the other side of the bars played by Sarah Grabowski. Ruby tries to help Arlene deter mine which of her options is the least undesirable. Challenging themes often create formidable challenges in execution, and Getting Out is complicated on many levels. The play is fairly naturalistic in style, but surrounding the main narrative with expositional scenes from the past is as dis tracting as it is intriguing. Director Sarah Carleton has risen to the occasion: The action shifts seamlessly between the worlds of Arlene and Arlie, their lines often overlapping in clever ways. The link between the contrasting portrayals, how ever, is less complete. Arlie’s spit-in-your-eye nastiness is so harsh that the leap to Arlenes

timid soul is a bit jarring. Much more rehabilitation seems to have taken place than the audi ence has witnessed. It’s like Shawshank Redemption without the redemption. Also, while this production is full of energy and vitality, the emotional pitch is so unrelent ingly feverish that the perfor mance overall is exhausting. These are damaged, violent people, and their interactions lack nuance or subtlety. Bennie’s manly chivalries are plausible, but, aside from one outburst, it’s the only note he hits, and his character is a bit of a bore because of it. Even the tension that Phelps brings into the room with Carl — a nerve in blue jeans and pointy-toed boots — cries out for some

momentary release. O f the cast, Arlene seems drawn to exhibit the greatest emotional rangp, shifting from damaged goods to angry young woman. Laflin makes the most of these rare moments, but they are rarer for Gemini’s Arlie, and her character’s depths go largely unmined as a result. To see Getting Out per formed is to see a cast and crew taxed to their limits — in a good way. That the experience for audience members may be taxing in other ways is not so much a criticism as a note that the best medicine is often bit ter. And ultimately this play is a story of hope — a difficult message to send through prison bars, but one well worth hear ing. ®

And so on. O f course, one doesn’t expect a complex plot in a chil dren’s book; many a well-loved volume follows one slim thread of an idea. Toward that end, Stone’s words dance along with an angelic, candy-coated melo diousness — and parallel, in a more literary way, the mount ing excitement of children before the big day. But for those not into Christian holi days, the punchline — Christmas Eve! Christmas Eve! — while anticipated, is still a bit of a let-down. One wishes Stone had instead conjured another special night in which the angels might roam. But a Christmas book it is — well-timed at that — and as such its focus on kindliness to animals and humans, on beauty and the natural world, and on what are essentially nondenominational spiritual values, is a refreshing one. Besides, What Night Do the Angels Wander? is a visual treat to rival any sugarplum fairy. ®

kay, there isn’t a battle being waged behind the scenes to keep good grammar alive at the nations network and cable behemoths. No, that war is already lost. The white flag went up some time back. O r maybe that was the ghost of Charles Kuralt ascending to Heaven, I’m not sure. W hat I do know is that TV ’s talking heads sure don’t talk the way they used to. Not that this should come as a surprise. For decades we’ve been reading about declining SAT scores and record drop out rates. Students who do show up for class, quite under standably, are way too stressed to absorb much grammar. It’s hard to focus on the proper use of a dipthong, after all, when you have to worry about stray gunfire. We’re two or three genera tions removed now from the days when Edwin Newman articulated the evening news as flawlessly as if E.B. W hite held a pistol to his head. And the interesting thing is that he did n’t speak all that differently from the guy who tried to sell our fathers Hai Karate after shave in commercials. Or the President of the United States. Or Captain Kangaroo, for that matter. The simple fact that something was being said on television to millions of people used to be reason enough for a person to speak as thoughtfully and well as he or she knew how :.'V : These days, television scripts are rife with the kind of sloppy mistakes that used to get my fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Plourde, so steamed. More than once she banished poor Conrad Turcotte to the coatroom for the day. I would n’t be surprised to learn that he grew up to become a network president. Here, compiled in the course of just one week, are

some reasons: • The day the Fed lowered interest rates, Dan Rather’s lead sounded more like the mixedmetaphor play-by-play at a heavyweight boxing match. His hard-hitting copy explained the move was designed to “give the economy a shot in the arm in the face of problems overseas.” • For a second there I thought I had stumbled onto a surreal saga of forbidden love when I tuned into Connie Chung’s voice-over for a “20/20” piece featuring the highly suggestive line, “...later that night, in bed with his wife, the phone rang.” W hat it suggested, of course, was that ABC might want to consider shelling out for a proofreader. • “After spending eight months behind bars, the jury found the woman charged with the mur der not guilty,” a local newswoman reported last week. Yikes! No wonder people are always trying to get out of jury duty! • “We’ve proved our point regarding impeachment,” declared C N N ’s Bobbi Batista during a recent “Talk Back Live.” W hat ever happened to the word “proven,” anyway? Have you noticed? One day everybody in America used “proven” as regularly and casually as they ate nitrites and red dye, then one day everyone started saying “proved” instead. People started saying “dived” instead of “dove” about this time, too. Looking back, these were probably the first signs of serious trouble to come with respect to the nation’s dwindling verb sup-

Automotive Car Talk Is Rugged Man’s Car Tough Enough?

Dear Tom and Ray, I am a student in Austin, Texas. After I graduate, my boyfriend and I are heading to Portland, Oregon, in his 1998 Saturn SL2. Here’s where you come in. Brett (that's the boyfriend) is a rugged, outdoorsy type, dying to take the most interesting route and trek around in the mountains. I am the nervous nature appreciator, very concerned that his 1.9-liter engine (isn ’t that the same size as, say, a Weed Eater?) won’t pull us up and down mountainous terrain. We had the car checked out, and they pro nounced the brakes and clutch A-OK. Still, I'm concerned. What do you think? Can we make it up and down mountains? A response from you would bring tears o f joy to my eyes. — Elizabeth TOM: Well, we're quite accustomed to our responses bringing tears to our readers' eyes, Elizabeth. So don't think that threat scares us. RAY: O f course you can make it up the mountains, Elizabeth; 1.9 liters is not very big, but it's big enough to get a small car like a Saturn just about anywhere. TOM: And besides, Brett is a rugged, out doorsy type. So if you happen to break down and get stranded, he'll be able to kill a bear and feed you for a few weeks until the St. Bernards arrive with the brandy flasks. RAY: You'd be smart to have the car thor oughly checked out, Elizabeth — not just the brakes and clutch. And moreover, pack a triple-A card, a credit card and your sense of humor. You'll probably need all three. Dear Tom and Ray, I have an Olds Bravada with 85,000 miles on it. Last month, I had the car serviced (oil, lube, brake work) and set out on a trip. After 500 miles, the front end differential went out. I had it towed to a GM dealership. Two weeks and $3100 later, I got the Bravada back. They

By Tom & Ray Magliozzi | FULL SERVICE AUTO REPAIR CENTER said there was no sign o f a broken gasket or a leak, but the old differential had no oil in it, and that’s why it had burned up. They suggested that perhaps the other dealership had drained the differential oil and forgotten to refill it. I asked my local dealership i f they might have done such a thing. They said that the dif ferential on this car is a closed system and doesn't even have a drain for the oil. They said they've never touched it. What do you think happened? — Steve RAY: Hard to know, Steve. To the best of my knowledge, there is no drain plug on this differential. But that doesn't mean the oil can't be removed. TOM: Right. There's a way to add oil, and it's possible to suck the old oil out in order to change it. And your local dealership may have removed the old differential oil with a suction pump and forgotten to refill it. RAY: Why would they be changing the dif ferential oil in the first place? Hmmm. To make money by performing additional work on your car? TOM: But in order for this approach to work, they'd have to do, what? Bill you! In which case you'll have them dead to rights, because your repair order will say, "Change differential oil." RAY: So you need to check their receipt from before your trip. Tom: Bear in mind it's also entirely possible that the oil just leaked out very slowly, and the other dealership didn't see any evidence of a leak. In that case, the timing was just coinci dent. RAY: And unless it says "Change differential oil," "service diff," or something similar on that repair bill, you'll never be able to prove otherwise. Good luck, Steve.

Dope

Dear Cecil, I have a question for you. How much does it cost to make an individual penny? Also, how many are made each year? (OK, so it’s more than one question.) Are they ever going to stop manufacturing them? — Michael Notzen, via the Internet

A lot of people have been wondering about this. The mint makes something like 13 billion pennies a year, accounting for two-thirds of all U.S. coinage. Half of these pennies will disappear from circulation within a year, hav ing been squirreled away in penny jars and who knows where else. The U.S. General Accounting Office estimates that of the roughly 170 billion pennies currently in exis tence two-thirds have been effectively withdrawn from cir culation by people who think they’re too much trouble to carry around. The penny has by far the lowest seigniorage (profit) rate of any U.S. coin. Each costs four-fifths of a cent to make, netting Uncle Sam just one-fifth of a cent, or 20 percent. The profit on a quarter, by comparison, is more than 20 cents — 80 percent. Were the penny still made mostly of copper, as it was until 1982, the govern ment would have to manufacture them at a loss. (The coins are now copper-plated zinc.) The time has come to ask: Why are we doing this, anyway? The issue came up most recently in 1996, when the GAO concluded that, figuring in the cost of overhead and distribution, the U.S. Mint loses $8 million a year manu facturing pennies. The agency suggested eliminating the penny and rounding all cash transactions to the nearest nickel. Mint officials disputed the GAO s numbers, claim ing the coin earns the government $18 million to $27 mil lion annually. Congress held hearings, but opinion was sharply divided, not only within the government but among merchants and ordinary citizens. In the end noth ing was done. Too bad. The arguments in favor of retaining the penny are weak, arising from the same wellspring of nostalgia and we’ve-always-done-it-this-way inertia that’s hindered con version to the metric system. The real question is not whether the government makes money on pennies but whether the coin serves any commercial purpose. The “take

a penny, leave a penny” jars that many merchants keep by their cash registers suggest strongly that it doesn’t. If people don’t want to make change with pennies, why bother? Some claim that if pennies are eliminated consumers will get screwed. In a 1989 Atlantic article one penny advo cate claimed, “Get rid of [the penny] and nothing will cost less than a nickel.” Baloney. No one is suggesting that all prices be rounded to the nearest nickel. Real estate tax rates have been computed in mills, a tenth of a cent, since the foundation of the republic, but no mills have ever been minted; the sums are just rounded. Others claim that mer chants will use rounding as an excuse to gouge consumers, either by raising prices or by cheating. But competitive pressures are likely to keep most retailers honest, and in any case the amounts are trivial. Many other nations cease minting low-value coins when they become irrelevant. The U.S. doesn’t, feeling no doubt that we’ve got a big-time currency here and its value is like unto the Rock of Ages. By eliminating the penny we’d be admitting that we’re just like other countries. But in the ’30s a penny was worth the equivalent of today’s dime; in the ’50s it was worth today’s nickel. Now it’s not worth the trouble. Dear Cecil, Santa Barbara I understand. Santa Clara, Santa Rosa, sure. But who was Fe? — Charlie and Linda, Oak Park, Illinois I wondered about this myself when I was a sprout. Saint Fe? Patron saint of truck-stop waitresses? But eventu ally I got a clue. “Santa” can also mean holy, and “fe” means faith, so Santa Fe = holy faith. (7) 7;:::
