Seven Days, November 3, 1999 by Seven Days

A great new downtown market for a great city. The O n i o n River Co-op is proposing a new fullservice downtown supermarket that would be an important addition to Burlington's quality o f life. W e need your support now to be selected by the Burlington City Council to create this exciting, new locally owned supermarket. T h e "Central M a r k e t " would combine the best features o f our O n i o n River Co-op with regular supermarket products at low prices, with improved accessibility and much more. W e want to offer the products and prices that meet the needs o f A L L Burlington residents.

S o m e basic f a c t s a b o u t t h e proposed store:

W h y O n i o n River Co-op will do a good job:

• The Central Market location would be on the site of the old police station, on South Winooski Avenue, opposite Bank Street.

• With 27 years of experience in Burlington, Onion River knows plenty about running a thriving store. The Co-op is already the third largest food retailer in Vermont's largest city. Growing to meet the needs of a wider community in Burlington is a challenge we are ready for.

• The store would be nearly twice as large as the former Price Chopper supermarket on Cherry Street that closed in July. • The mix of products in the store would reflect the needs of all Burlington residents. If you need Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Dinty Moore Beef Stew, you will be able to find them at good prices. Locally grown and organic foods will still be stocked in abundance. • The store would be open from 8 am to 9 pm every day. • New departments would include meat, seafood, deli and hardware. You can ask for the products you want and the store will carry them. • The new supermarket would be owned by the community, not by an out-of-state corporation or an out-of-town landlord.

• Onion River Co-op already buys from the distributors who sell conventional supermarket products. Changing the mix of products to 50% conventional/50% "natural" is a simple matter, and ensuring low mark-up is part of our commitment to serving our community. • Our new supermarket will be supported by an established, loyal membership committed to serving the community. We are committed to listening to our customers, answering their needs, and making sure that all Burlington residents - especially the many seniors and low-income people who live near downtown - have a wide range of food choices at good prices.

W h y Central M a r k e t w o u l d be good f o r Burlington: • About 7 0 people will have well paying jobs at the supermarket. The store will pay substantial property taxes to the city of Burlington, too. • The Central Market project is an opportunity to create a keystone in the downtown Burlington economy. This store would be an important asset in one of America's most exciting and livable small cities - it could be as much a model for other cities as our Pedestrian Marketplace and Boathouse are now. Onion River Co-op has the community commitment and vision to make this solution work for all. If you w a n t to see a locally-owned Supermarket d o w n t o w n serving the needs of all people, please convey a brief message of support today to your local city councilor:

FREYNE SMEARED SELF Tut, tut,-Mr. Freyne, for shame! Though a comparative newcomer to Burlington, I have come to trust your column, relying upon it as a benchmark for evaluating Vermont's political scene. Alas! You lost it with your deliberate emphasis on the wrong sylLAble about the Smith Mess [Inside Track, September 22]. W h a t on earth got into you? To indicate by innuendo that the Rev. Gary Kowalski cares not about battered women or evades responsibility for his behavior points out your evasive IRresponsibility. Cheap shot! You wanted to smear the Reverend? You smeared yourself. Few in this state have more compassionate regard for fellow beings; few have more intelligence, integrity and willingness to be answerable for their acts. If you savor tabloid-tactic mudslinging, aim for a deserving target. Mr. Smith put his money on the wrong horse. That's the crux of this problem. T h e venal behavior of his "horse" does not detract from his original generosity. Like my trust in you, he erred egregiously. Those who tried to reimburse Mr. Smith never condoned

SEVEN DAYS

G O O D JOB O N FETISH CLUB I was more than a little surprised when I noticed Seven Days printed feature on Montreal's "Fetish Funhouse and Cabaret" ["Dungeons and Drag Queens," October 13], a club that not many Montrealers know of, much less Vermonters. As a regular patron of this low-profile, minimally advertised club, I have to commend the article's author for his accurate depiction of this small but vibrant club. I might also add to the authors keen observation of the club's friendly and inviting atmosphere the fact that this type of setting is not altogether common among other such clubs. Most other like clubs that I personally have sampled carry an often more clique-ish clientele, many of whom display a lot more "attitude" that they feel enhances their pervy character (otherwise known as "tops disease"). Those attributes, plus an ever-pervasive contingent of

"horny onlookers" (these are the guys "fetishistically" garbed in sneakers and underpants who flock en masse from scene to scene to watch the action and drool heavily) can often make for a rotten night of kink-clubbing. T h e Fetish Cafe's small size and low-profile (not even so much as a sign on the front door) are likely responsible, as "Club Cream" (Montreal's other major non-members fetish attraction), a more public display, suffers the same plight as all the other aforementioned club experiences. In short, from a patron's point of view, I would agree that many pervy Vermonters should check out this club, should the chance arrive...There's certainly nothing better going on down here, if you're that-way-minded. — Vanilla Christ Editor, DeSade Magazine Burlington

"Doctors were going to reattach the arm," police spokesperson Karen Pride Garvin said, "but he refused and told them if they did, he would cut it off again and sue them."

Jordan sued, insisting that his civil rights were violated. In September, U.S. District Judge Peter C.

Jordan, 48, who has a bachelor's degree in literature, now works as a state corrections officer.

A NEW N E W Y O R K E R : Neanderthals noshing at a chi-chi gallery opening of cave paintings. Rudy Guiliani stalking Hillary Clinton in Central Park. Harry Bliss has done five cover illustrations for The New Yorker this year — and the latest, last week's Pokemon trick-ortreater, was made in Vermont. Along with Brookfield-based Ed Koren, Vermont now boasts two high-ranking cartoonists utilizing same-day FedEx service to Times Square. Thirty-five-year-old Bliss moved to South Burlington in August to be closer to his young son. Last month he wandered into the Flynn Theatre, looking to barter for tickets. "He opened his portfolio, and I was like, 'Oh, my God. W h o is this guy?'" says Nancy Abbott-Hourigan, who is in charge of recruiting donations for the benefit art auction coming up next week at Lewis Acura. Bliss handed over a sketch — a study for a 1998 cover illustration that combines opera and baseball. "It's a great way to network," he says with savvy saved up from a long and successful freelance career. Bliss grew up in Rochester, in a family of artists. "If you couldn't tell the difference between a Braque and a Picasso you were, like, grounded," he recalls. With a B.A. from Philadelphia's University of the Arts and a masters in illustration from Syracuse University, he was already a "seasoned waiter" when he broke into publishing. His first assignment from The New Yorker, two years ago, was no Yankee doodle. It was the cover for the 1998 New Year's issue. Bliss has been hard at work ever since, earning more cover assignments this year than anyone else in the Rolodex. He is also one of the few illustrators on contract at the magazine who also does cartoons, which he claims are much more difficult, "You're writing comedy," he says, "and it's hard to make 600,000 people chuckle." Bliss revealed his warped sense of humor, and new Vermont sensibility, with an inside cartoon in last week's Halloween issue. It showed a little boy standing before his classmates for "show and tell," with a gutted deer hanging by the neck. Oblivious to his horrified teacher and traumatized classmates, the little boy proclaims exuberantly, knife in hand, "And that's how ya clean a deer." If all goes well, Bliss will have a two-page spread in the upcoming cartoon issue — it's a marathon tribute to all the New Yorker cartoonists, each rendered in his or her individual style. The hairy guy out front is Koren.

R E E L - T O - R E A L : There's no such thing as a free lunch in Turkmenistan, especially when boiled brains are on the menu. Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven paid a price — in abdominal pain — on a U.S. State Department-sponsored cultural excursion to the former Soviet republic, where he was invited to show his films and to discuss the possibility of collaborating on a screenplay. Although he doesn't drink, Craven was prepared for the vodka — "by the fifth toast, I was Christopher Columbus," he says — but not for the sheep slaughtered on his behalf. "The whole head was brought out, and the host put his hand in, brought the brain out, mashed it out on the table and spread it onto bread," Craven recalls. Another vegetarian comedy like In Jest, the one Craven put together with Vermont high school students, may be just want the doctor ordered. In the meantime, the Turkmen are hoping Craven can help land a distribution deal for Children of the Earthquake, a movie made by their deputy minister of cinematography . . . Maybe the desert filmmakers would settle for an afternoon screening at the Savoy? Every weekend through Christmas, the Montpelier moviehouse is showing a "world cinema" selection from different parts of the world, including Turkey, China, Germany and France. Unlike the Desert Storm action flick Three Kings, Leila "will destroy any preconceptions you might have of what the culture is over there," says Savoy co-owner Rick Winston. My Son the Fanatic also paints a complex tableau of crosscultural conflicts. From the screenwriter of My Beautiful Launderette, it concerns a Pakistani man determined to assimilate after a quartercentury in England. Just when he thinks he has finally made it, his son becomes a fundamentalist. . . Singer-songwriter Greg Brown grew up with the opposite dynamic — his father was an itinerant preacher. You get an earful in Hacklebarney Tunes, a six-year-old documentary about the acoustic sensation by Middlebury College professor Jeff Ruoff — the latest addition to the film faculty and an expert in international cinema. The hour-long video examines the place Brown calls home — southern Iowa — in an effort to retrace his roots, which look more Appalachian than Midwestern. That old-time religion is a big part of the story. "He doesn't necessarily approve of it, but it's the language he speaks," says Ruoff, who spent several months making the movie while he was in graduate school at the University of Iowa. The video, scheduled for Saturday in Middlebury's Twilight Auditorium, is great preparation for back-toback Brown concerts Sunday and Monday nights at the Knights of Columbus Hall. ©

Contest Winners i. BEAUTY OF THE BEAST The entries to this category reconfirmed that beauty is often in the eye of the beholder, if nowhere else. And it's certainly more than fur deep. We had such a difficult time picking a single winner from these reigning cats and dogs that, as usual, we wimped out and decided to go with one of each — and the only horse, of course. Horse: This photograph of my six-yearold Arabian mare, Amira Farah, suggests her great beauty and gentleness. Although she is quite beautiful, I value her intelligence and gentle nature the most...Although she has only been under saddle for a short time, she is proving to be a sensible and versatile riding horse...Her dog-like friendliness makes her a favorite to visitors at the barn..." — Dawn Jones-Low South Burlington Cat: "This is [one of] a series of my cat Stimpy, taken when I've caught her watching me. Doing dishes I look up to see she's perched in the window. Reading on the floor I look up to see her Halloween pose...She's an imp, what can I say?" — Lenore Wright Pittsburgh Dog: "Sadie's so festive in her holiday crown. But she's skeptical about Y2K. — jane Simonds Essex junction

FAT CATS Hoo, boy, are there some fatties out there! Of course, some cats are as hirsute as they are hefty, giving them an unfair advantage. That was the case with Raven, owned by Kristin and Michael Carter of Rutland. We liked the fact that "you can hear him walk through the house," but we're suspicious of the comment, "We believe Raven weighs close to 30 pounds." Sorry, but put him on the scale, take a picture that doesn't make him look like a floor covering, and we'll think about it next time. We voted instead for the orange, wide-bodied, 22-pound Sunny. Honorable Mention must goto (besides Raven) the 2i-pound Louis, whose girth, claims the Campbell family of Burlington, causes human laps to lose feeling. "Not only is my cat overweight (he tips the scales in the 22-pound range), but he's a true glutton. Despite a healthy serving of kibble each night, "Lard Butt" often brings in a small critter for a midnight snack, which he will devour on our bed, waking us to the sound of smacking lips, crunching bones and deep contented purring." — Carolyn Casner North Ferrisburgh

3. PET N A M E S There's stiff competition in the name game. Our winners were up against exotica like Bagheera, cuteness like Wynken, and, well, vegetation like Cabbage. Our Honorable Mentions are Faux Pas, a calico with a scientific bent owned by Sybil Hindes of South Burlington, and a regal Great Dane named Zoo owned by Jeanne Peech and Penelope Fenyvest of Middlebury. In the end, we couldn't break a tie between the China-born kitty named Chairman Miao and an ailAmerican tabby tornado named Zipper. We think their stories, and their "caught-in-the-act" photos, will explain why. "Chairman Miao was born in a typical Chinese neighborhood repair shop in July of 1998. I had just moved to Shanghai and my Mandarin was shaky. Setting out to buy a hammer, my mission failed and instead I came home with a kitten stuffed down my sweater. Our Oriental Ocicat was nameless for several days, until Nicholas turned to me in bed and suggested: 'Chairman Miao!' Instant agreement..." — Laura Merrick Burlington "This is Zipper, a.k.a. The Little Bastard, Devil's Spawn and Evil Child. It was decided that he was in need of a name that was appropriate for the general public, with a little help from my niece. "Zipper" was the winner because he zip, zip, zips everywhere. As you can see, he is a handful, and at times a child that only a mother and his sister, Ms. Cat, can love. He is able to draw blood at a moment's notice, scatter anything that can be moved, and climb anything he can get his claws into..." — Brenda Berardinelli " — — . Burlington

6. H A U T E CREATURE Talk about permissive parenting. Spoiled these pets would be, if they knew the meaning of the word. Affection sometimes turns into getting dressed in embarrassing outfits, and often translates to the royal treatment. But what we were looking for here is, frankly, merch. Our runner-up, little Sadie Doggis, owned by Yvonne and Jeff Howlett of Burlington, doesn't like to get her feet wet, so she gets to ride in a "Pet Pouch" like a baby. But we really liked personal flotation device, which proves a dog's life is pretty sweet.

4. SEPARATED AT BIRTH C'mon, people! Don't be so modest! Or is it embarrassment that prevents you from admitting you resemble your pet? With only one entry in this category, we have a clear winner, even if he did cheat a bit. Pictured, a beloved dog named Gumbo — along with an explanation that we hope does not break up an impending marriage. "Not only does she have the radiant

5 PET PEEVES Goodness knows the little rascals can try our patience like, well, boys and girls. But pet owners seem pretty philosophical about four-legged frolics. We read about pesky cats who bite necks; whose fluff sticks to everything; who hang out on the tops of doors and descend unexpectedly. We got a kick out of a white Lab named Xander and his colorful heap of rags that used to be a rug, and of Kojak, an 18-inch-tall terror who attacks — to kill — much larger dogs (we recommend Prozac). But we were won over by an omnivorous, literary Lab named Miles, his poem and his shit-eating grin. These Are a Few of My Favorite Things (by Miles) Whole sticks of butter, Cookies and cream cheese. Smooth peanut butter, Give me some more, please! I jump on the table So I am able

"This is Kensey — my six-year-old black Lab mix on his favorite possession: the blue raft. While other dogs do labor-intensive swimming to stay afloat and cool off in summer, my dog Kensey prefers to sunbathe on his raft...One friend who saw the photo asked if we served him drinks. I guess I'd consider it..." — Carolyn Hanson Burlington

7. U N L E A S H E D This category gets the most entries and forces us to harden our hearts against endearing doggies and precocious purr-balls. The demonic expression of a cat named Skooter, owned by Doug Steward of Huntington, gave us pause, as did the fetching photo of Silver, snoozing inside a curled-up hose, sent by the Browne family of Lincoln. We almost caved to the troop of grocery-nibbling bunnies — their owner, Joanne Aja of South Burlington, insists that rabbits rule. We loved the cleverly packaged photo/joke book sent in by Mike Lynch ofVergennes and his shaggy dog Finney (see page 3). But we were especially smitten by a well-traveled cat named Smudge, whose proud owner sent in 11 photos from various holidays with the little sailor. "This is my cat Smudge. I found her in Marathon, Florida, as a kitten. She traveled with me in my '63 VW bus on a leisurely drive back to Vermont, where she became a 'shop cat,' living with me at my repair shop for old VWs...Come wintertime, we decided to close up shop and go south again. Moving back into the bus was pretty easy for her...One winter in Florida we got invited to go on a two-month sailing trip to the Bahamas. One photo shows her leaping from the dinghy onto a beach...She quickly became a good swimmer..." — John Page Burlington

Geoff Hansen's new picture boek is a ruff guide to a dog's life

B Y PAULA ROUTLY

ho hasn't bent Fidos ear at the end of a long, bad day? Nobody listens better, or cheaper, than a devoted pet. But what if our creatures talked back, about their own adventures? In My Life as a Dog, a new canine character study by Valley News photographer Geoff Hansen, the protagonist is a pooch. Lucy speaks for herself in 45 mood-swinging photos that document the emotional range of a beagle. At the end of the dog day, you'll love Lucy almost as much as Hansen does. With his new book — and its cover blurb from artist William Wegman — Hansen takes his place in the pantheon of professional photographers devoted to dogs. But unlike Wegman, who outfits his dogs in human attire, or Elliott Erwitt, whose focus includes pet owners, Hansen is not particularly interested in the relationship between humans and their animals. Compelling as they are, his portraits do little more than suggest Lucy has a complex personality. Heck, she's deep. On the recommendation of his publisher, Hansen and his writer-wife, Nicola Smith, came up with a simple narrative to explain the emotions evidenced in the five-year photo project he subtitled "the many moods of Lucy, the dog of a thousand faces." "I hurt" is the caption on her post-op shot, which captures Lucy looking positively tragic in an Elizabethan collar. By the next frame, titled "I flirt," she is fully recovered, licking the face of a Japanese tourist. The busy beagle cowers, towers, shakes, bakes and muses in the small, attractive book that sort of rhymes — and fits perfectly into a Christmas stocking.

gested doing a book. It took Hansen a few years to put a proposal together. But within a week of sending it out, he had a deal with Andrews McMeel. No doubt the publisher, which packages "Dilbert" and "Far Side" cartoons, recognized the book's potential appeal to photophiles, dog lovers and, of course, kids. Other than a few challenging verbs like "vamp" and "kvetch," it's easy reading. "Seeing little kids clutching my book really made me feel great," Hansen says of a recent signing in Quechee, where he also distributed selfdesigned "barkmarks" and other pun-filled merch to market the book — look for "The Beagle Has Landed" bumper stickers on Vermont vehicles next to the enduring "Spread Fred." Otherwise, Hansen is a fairly shy guy who does not excel in self promotion. He leaves that to Lucy, who handles the meet-and-greet at all of his signings. The cover canine is a master of public relations. .. She is no less enthusiastic about visitors to her Hartford home, barking incessantly as she "spars" with her younger beagle brother. Although he doesn't enjoy the celebrity as much, Chester is all over My Life as a Dog, both in pictures with Lucy and standing in as her "stunt double," as Hansen puts it. "He does the dangerous things like licking plates," he says, referring to the photo titled, "I swab." My Life as a Dog also covers snacking, driving, dreaming, sniffing and the humiliation of wearing a Happy New Year tiara. But one thing left out of the book is Lucy's less-than-ladylike habit of taking Chester's head between her back legs and humping it. Or the corresponding first-person confession: "I lust." "Fortunately," says Hansen, "she only does it to dogs." Hey, every dog diva has her dark side. ®

I blush.

I wish.

Man's Best Model? It sure looks like it. Lucy loves the camera, Hansen says, even without a peanut butter biscuit bribe. Hansen started taking pictures of her on weekends, and days off from the paper, where he has worked for a decade and still serves as photo editor. The chemistry amounts to no more than "having her in the situation and me with a camera," he explains. Initially, he sent the pictures to friends as postcards. When enough images had piled up on refrigerators across the country, someone sug-

When training horses, Karl Pfister speaks softly arid newer carries a big stick

technique invented — though its authorship is disputed — in the 1950s by legendary horse whisperer Monty Roberts. It has been popularized more recently by a number of trainers, not to mention a novel and a recent Hollywood film. Join-up involves a round-pen — a 10-foot-high wooden ring in which the horse is worked alone by its trainer — as well as extensive knowledge of equine body language. It has been practiced, and its results documented extensively, in the training of riding horses; the Pfister farm specializes in work horses. It seems as if every recent article on the contemporary wisdom of horse training begins, "In Robert Redford's movie, The Horse Whisperer..." The film has indeed revolutionized popular perceptions of horse training, if not horse training itself — which maintains

n the small southern Vermont village of Landgrove, the last hay crop lies drying in the meadows, the trees on the mountainside blazing auburn and scarlet. It's a warm autumn morning, and as Karl Pfister leads one of his draft horses down the road from the barn, the scene looks more Old than New England. The horse is an iron-gray Percheron mare named Dottie. She is five years old, and this is her first day of school. "Normally we start them a lot younger, at two or three," Pfister says. "But she had a few problems last year with her former owner, when she was already working — running away and kicking — and now we're starting over with this method to get her to trust again." The method is the "join-up"

its own evolutionary pace. For the layperson the horse world has been neatly divided into the good-guy "whisperers" and the bad guys who use fear and coercion. The practical reality seems to lie somewhere in between. "It's like dancing with someone who doesn't know the steps," says Pfister. "It's a conversation with an animal that can't speak. But the whole time, it's telling you the history of everything that's happened to it." He is in the round-pen with Dottie, who is following him around like a puppy — and looking just as docile. Pfister explains that many horses, especially those who have previously been worked, will start off very tamely in the pen. "It's an isolating experience," he says. "You're the only person there, and generally they will start off by following you." Experts agree that the point of the exercise,

SESTl\/AL"l

however, is to get the horse to focus on you and trust you completely. She must follow not because she doesn't know what else to do, but because she is open and willing to do what you ask, confident that what you will ask is right. Pfister gives the mare a brief pat then sends her away, cracking a long carriage whip in the air. Dottie breaks into a surprised canter around the outside of the ring. Her ears are swiveling, her eyes rolling. No one has ever encouraged her to run away from him before. Soon she slows to a trot and Pfister sends her forward again. More than the sound of the whip, it is his body language that chases her off — his aggressive stance, his movement towards her and his eye contact. Now Dottie is growing tired. Like a yearling chased out of the herd for bad behavior, she knows she must ask permission to return. Attention entirely focused on her trainer, her head drops and she starts to lick her lips, both signs of submission to a dominant horse. As soon as the signs are unmistakable, Pfister stops chasing her. He turns his shoulders from her central balance point to just in front of her, and she stops dead, her face turned to him. He puts down the whip and turns away, looks down, drops a shoulder in invitation. Slowly she walks over and stands just behind him, her head still low. The first lesson has been learned: The human is in charge.

orse training, or "breaking" as it is still often called, has always been based on the same principle: The horse is large and potentially dangerous; it must learn infallibly that the human is the boss. A majority of the world's horse owners still work by frightening and disorienting the horse into submission. Many still hold that the join-up method is a fluke that only works on tame horses. But its advocates say that if you want a truly balanced, willing horse, you have to ask, not demand. "They'll never give you their heart completely if you make them," Pfister asserts. "If you ask them, they will." Dottie is relieved that she no longer has to run. She weighs nearly a ton, and her legs are feeling heavy. Pfister starts to walk to and fro, arcing in front of her. She follows, at first with her nose then stepping across to keep facing him. He encourages her with his voice but remains turned away. Then he comes over and strokes her until she no longer flinches when touched. But when he picks up the whip — which scares her most — and touches her shoulder softly with it, she jumps away. All he does is raise a hand above his head — in a gesture Monty Roberts has identified as that of a predator — and she is running around the outside of the pen once more. Lesson two: Trust me, or run around again. Pfister has had a round-pen for two years but has been raising horses for a decade. His experi-

ences without it taught him valuable lessons about horse psychology, all of which support the nonviolent round-pen philosophy. He describes discovering the basics of horse logic with Tilla, his first draft horse. "At first she wanted to kick your head off. She'd never been hurt — it was just her way of being playful." Tilla, like the majority of Pfister's horses, was a Belgian draft. The breed stands up to six feet tall at the shoulder, with hooves as big as soup plates. Young and wild,

they are like playful Mack trucks. "I used to go into the field with a plastic baseball bat," Pfister remembers. "It makes a loud noise. They think, what? How did he get me?" He describes equine brains as working on "straight-line logic." A surprising, unexpected reprimand can make them start to respect the human presence. Has he had a horse that never responded? "Oh, sure, Pfister says. "Some try to go under the gate of the pen, or won't run when you get after them — or just don't care. They refuse." He admits that however closely the supposedly infalli-

ble theory is followed, some horses will simply get stuck. Then another direction must be found. "If they can react for themselves alone, if they think that they're the leader, that's bad. You never know when it's going to kick in." Much of the trust-building process is simply spending time with human beings. "What this method does is to help you shortcut a lot of the eternal brushing and handling," says Pfister. "Of course, there have always been peo-

which, in Pfisters experience, may refuse training in the round-pen. Each type requires a different approach. "With leader-type horses, you can't just brush them," Pfister explains. "They're going to do what they want." They respond well to round-pen training, he says, and give back 100 percent once their trust is won. They are the performers, the competition winners. "Submissive horses are great to have, though," he adds. "They may not give you a brilliant

ple who trained their horses gently. Everybody didn't sit on their horses' heads and rope them and tie them up. But there are different horses, and this is something that works on most of them." According to Pfister, much can be learned about the way a horse will train by simply watching them in the herd. There are leaders — dominant ones who think for themselves and behave without regard for the others. Horses that are low on the pecking order tend to be submissive and open to domination either by other horses or by a trainer. Finally, there are loners,

What is achieved in the first two years of a horses life, before it is ever ridden, often defines what comes later. Of this group of trusting, willing youngsters, those who are not sold by next summer will be started under the saddle or, if they are drafts, as work-horses. Whether saddled and ridden or harnessed for a carriage or farm equipment, the leadership-trust relationship established in the round-pen will be a constant training aid.

"The 'replacement concept' is to not focus on the problem," he added, but to "focus on the desires of the person, what they want. Crowd out bad behaviors with good behaviors." Lyons focuses on what most horses will automatically and naturally do right: Run forward when nervous. When the trainer has the horse doing one thing willingly, more can be asked. A static horse, one Pfister describes as "stuck," is in danger of producing explosive, uncontrollable, frightened movement. By progressing in small steps, trust can be built up. The key to achieving such trust is patience. When a horse does not respond well, Pfister will either go back a stage until it is calm again and they can finish the day's work

A fundamental element of the psychological process is isolating the horse from her friends; sometimes it takes time alone for the horse to realize that she is genuinely dependent on her trainer.

Pfister will readily admit that, despite his many different interests, his heart lies with his drafts. He enjoys driving them, working the land or showing visitors the village from a centuries-old perspective, rolling past at the speed of a strong horse. He loves their work ethic, their strength and kindness when well-trained. He feels their responsiveness has taught him much of value. "This whole round-pen thing is a great revolution for me, and for the entire horse industry," he explains. "Talking to an animal that can't talk back sharpens your observation skills with people. Now, when someone approaches me, I can form an opinion of them just from the way they do it, and it generally holds true. Are they a leader or a follower? Will they ask the questions or do they want me to lead the conversation?" Back in the round-pen, Dottie has been chased out of the center three or four times; she is tired but is starting to understand that her move prompts it. Now she stops immediately on Pfisters signal and comes to him. The quality of her movement is even more submissive. She follows him and turns with him, crossing her forelegs to avoid moving away at all. This is the same exercise of attention and control that will be asked of her when she is driven: She will have to remain in tune with a moving carriage or sleigh, be aware of the movement of the horse next to her, willingly follow its turns and changes of speed. And there's the whip, of course: the primary objective of this class. Now Pfister can stand by her shoulder and touch her with the long carriage whip. He rubs it over her, down her back and over her quarters, where it will touch her when she is being driven. And finally, unsure but trusting, Dottie stands there and allows it to touch her. "We'll do this again," says Pfister as he leads her away. Dottie's first day in school has been a success. ® Linnet Taylor of Landgrove is a freelance writer and equestrienne.

He breeds Belgian-thoroughbred crosses for sale as riding and driving horses; he owns a string of polo ponies and plays all over New England in the summer; and now, thanks to his Canadian experiment, he owns a troupe of lighter horses he will sell either as yearlings or next year as two-yearolds, when they begin working under saddle. All summer and autumn, his heavy horses are involved in his carriage-ride business, which in winter turns to sleigh rides.

ast weekend at the Burlington McDonald's, protestors joined those at other McDonald's restaurants in 250 cities around the world to protest the company's participation in the inhumane treatment of the animals raised and slaughtered for McFood. Sponsored by PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — the demonstrations specifically targeted McDonald s' refusal to alleviate horrific conditions for their cows, pigs and chickens both on farms and on the killing floors. Hardly anyone is more obsessed than "animal people." But while PETA and other animal rights activists have a genuine beef with the livestock handlers of the world, some people show their concern — and their affection — for animals in quieter, happier ways. Take pet owners, for starters. As this special issue of Seven Days shows, people are crazy about their fourlegged domestic "partners." Even . so, they don't have anything over animal artists — that is, artists who paint, sculpt or otherwise fashion anything from fat cats to imaginary monsters into two- or three-dimensional i objets d'art.

them. In her current exhibit at Shelburne's Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery, T h o m p s o n shows a fresh kennel-full of the creatures that have been her painterly obsession for the past dozen years: dogs. In this show a dog reclines regally on a sofa, a pair of dogs drift in a row boat, another pair investigates a dead fish on the beach. There's a black Lab lounging on a rock ledge with his red ball, a white-and-brown pup playing with his stuffed panda, and more. T h o u g h these dogs are different breeds, they are all shorthaired and, though somewhat stylized, acutely precise anatomically — you'd expect no less from a former med student-turnedartist. W h a t Thompson's oils also have in common is her ubiquitous flat, hazy and sometimes surreal colors, absence of brushstrokes — they are so smooth as

to appear air-brushed — and total lack of humans. But T h o m p s o n doesn't think of her paintings as dog portraits per se, even though they frequently depict canine antics and postures that any dog owner would recognize in an instant. But in a sense, Thompson's subjects are surrogate humans. "I think what I'm doing are narrative pieces that really are about emotional experience, about things we feel," she says. "I use the dog because I feel there's some overlap — we share some of the same reactions to the world around us." T h o m p s o n adds that to work on h u m a n figures would be too "distracting"; painting dogs allows her to focus completely on pure expression. T h o u g h her compositions are usually made up — that is, not drawn from real life or photographs — T h o m p s o n notes that her LabWeimaraner mutt, a "big brown boy named Reggie," often obliges her as a model. "He'll pose if I ask him to — I bribe him with a biscuit," she explains. "I don't have to end up with something 'real,' but I like to see the turn of a paw or the way an ear is held."

" E N D A N G E R E D S P E C I E S , " by Polly Thompson Reggie. She has studios in both places as well, and paints dogs year-round. Though represented primarily at galleries in Vermont, "people from all over" buy her work, Thompson says, especially now that the Internet makes it easy. Though she generally believes "people who don't like dogs wouldn't buy my paintings," that theory was challenged at her opening last week at Furchgott Sourdiffe, when "someone bought a small painting who doesn't particularly like dogs." Elegantly, even sleekly execut-

ed, Thompson's works have a contemporary appeal and, in some cases, a stark conceptualization of positive and negative space that almost dissociates them from their creature content. Almost. That is not at all the case with the wood carvings of Norman Latourelle. The Orwell sculptor favors dogs himself, but has created all kinds of varmints, says his wife and business manager, Marlene Latourelle, from giraffes to woodchucks to sandpipers.

I lay like a dog," reads a bumper sticker I've seen around town lately. Must be! the successor to the "I (heart) my (insert dog breed)" series. Since the purpose of a bumper sticker is to get a point across, I got to thinking about it. "Hmmm, okay, if I thought like a dog, I'd act really restless until my owner took me to a public park. Rambunctious and rarin' to go, I'd leap out of the car and run into the road, where I would be narrowly missed by a passing driver. Then I'd run up to a small child and exuberantly knock him on his butt. Unfazed, I'd spot some others of my kind, and run over to sniff their cracks. I'd pee a little bit in about six different places. A fight would probably break out between me and my

playmates, so our owners would start yelling loudly in a language we don't speak. Heading across the park, I'd make harsh, repetitive noises for no apparent reason. I would indiscriminately poke my nose in a woman's crotch, then rub up against her leg. Finally, I'd drop a big turd in a well-traveled spot, and continue on my merry way." It's all in a day's doggie play. Would we tolerate this behavior from humans — or any other

place for canines to cavort. Every morning, noon and night cars would arrive and a horde of unleashed, ready-to-poop dogs, with their owners, would invade. A neighbor once counted 61 dogs during her one-hour Saturday hike. It was out of hand. I understand, and accept, that for some people, getting warm and fuzzy with their dogs is a major part of daily life. But where in the Constitution does it says that in order to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness all dogs must run free? Obviously, I don't have the "dog lover" gene. Sure, my family had dogs when I was growing up — two collies, named Lady and Tramp. I remember them only as sort of vague statuary. I remember vividly, however, the goats, Billy and Nanny (okay, so we were unimaginative Midwesterners). They were obtained when we and they were little kids. We bottle-fed them, and soon discovered that pushing on their foreheads triggered their natural butting instinct. That was fun — until they grew big enough to knock us down.

Dogs keep me awake at night with their barking; dog hair covers me when I sit in a dog-owner's car or on their sofa; dogs have dependent personality disorders.

A New Leash Continued from page 1 9 open up our first savings account with the $5 apiece we got for selling those goats. It was only years later that we discovered Billy and Nanny had ended up as the main course at a low-end church barbeque. But back to dogs. My first wife had a dog named Yeller. That pooch had a world-class case of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Beaten as a puppy, he would sadly approach me for a pat but back off at the last minute. It was tragic, really, for there was no doggie therapy at the time. The next dog in my life was one of the worst. Dublin, a hyperactive Irish Setter, was the perpetually immature companion to Jennifer, my post-divorce partner. "Dubby" had inadvertently been trained to react hysterically every time we came home. The damn dog would race around in circles, barking uncontrollably, leaping up and down like we had just returned from two years in

Antarctica — even if we'd just zipped down to the store for 15 minutes. It would take 10 minutes to get Dublin to chill. I will grudgingly admit I've known a few good dogs. Max was the best. An English sheepdog, he would come down from my friend Patti's house to my woodworking shop and patiently paw once or twice on the door. If I were busy, he would lay down and wait. When I let him in, he would politely go to his spot by the woodstove without a thought of causing any trouble. The best part, though, was every day when National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" came on. Even if Max had been asleep, he would rise up on his forelegs, tilt his head back and sing along to the theme song. Once the music

was over, he would go back to sleep. All in all, Max had impeccable manners for a dog. I've known one or two other mutts of merit, but on the whole I find most of them dumber than a box of biscuits. They make noise, they smell when wet, they drool, and they interrupt. Having moved away from Red Rocks, I thought I was safe. But now my neighborhood, Starr Farm Road in the New North End, is on the City of Burlington's list of potential sites for an "unleashed" dog park. The other three sites under consideration are fields in Oakledge Park, Schmanska Park and the Intervale. Following a resolution last May, city officials have been taking the dog-park issue to Neighborhood Planning Associations for discussion, and to Parks and Rec for an implementation plan. Plenty of people share my feelings, but I suspect dog owners will prevail, and the ordinance will eventually be passed by City Council. I just hope the only dogs who use it are the ones who come when called, and quickly. ' Call me a curmudgeon, but I simply fail to find any compatibility between city living and dog ownership. May I make a few suggestions for "dog parks?" How about Hinesburg, Richmond or Westford? Got a dog? Buy a farm. Maybe there's another bumper sticker here. Or — I've got it! — this could be the alisweHtb tfie dairy farm Crisis! Never mind driving ranges; how about commercial doggie ranges? And is it unreasonable to suggest a "pet consumerism tax?" O u t at PetSmart (an oxymoron if I've ever heard one) in Williston, people spend good money on doggie sweaters, pet Prozac and braised lamb in resealable pouches — this while food shelves and homeless shelters struggle. You're probably thinking I would happily ship all dogs to Siberia, or at least New Hampshire. Not really. You know what my real beef is? It's dog owners, who assume that everyone loves the beasts, and that the rules of respect and common sense don't apply to them. Dog owners just don't get it that their little darlings can be intrusive and irritating. (Come to think of it, they're a lot like the parents of new babies.) What if you went to the park for a quiet walk and someone's big ol' iguana started crawling up your leg? How would you like it if the neighbors kept a hyena out back? Say you attended a chic cocktail party and the host's pet tarantula ambled across your lap. Get the picture? Train your dang dogs and I'll cool the attitude. If they didn't bark at the drop of a hat, and if poop-scooping were the norm instead of the exception, having dogs in city parks would be no problem. Meanwhile, if you're a dog owner living in town, let me remind you that Vermont has lots of beautiful backroads and country fields. Hope your pooch enjoys the ride. ®

Breaking up is hard to d o — especially when there's a pet in the picture B Y ERIK ESCKILSEN

ccording to some calendars, the light is fading on the Year of the Rabbit. O u t in San Francisco, though, 1999 may be remembered as the Year of Any Pet — rabbit, dog, cat, parakeet, you name it. In a crescendo of political correctness, pet owners are demanding they be referred to as "pet guardians" in city ordinances. The rewording would have no legal ramifications, but "guardians" say it may encourage a more enlightened attitude toward pets — one that recognizes them as sentient beings, not objects. The city's Animal Control and Welfare Commission will reportedly vote on the measure in December. The matter gives Burlington attorney Marcia Meekins paws, er, pause. As she says, "The lawyer in me wonders, is this just the first brick in the wall to be able to argue that pets are not property anymore?" Meekins, a partner with Roesler Whittlesey Meekins & Amidon, regularly handles family law cases — including a recent divorce settlement that involved pet-visitation rights. She says the Vermont courts do a fair job of considering the rights of all concerned parties, pets included, without the highfalutin "pet guardian" distinction. In the aforementioned case, she recalls, primary custody for the pet in question was granted to the party who was granted primary custody of the children — the mother. The disputed pooch had become a family pet, after all, although it had also been trained for hunting. In the end, Meekins says, the court allowed the father visitation rights to take the hound out during hunting season. The courts' ability to be "Solomon-like" in pet-custody decisions, Meekins emphasizes, is enhanced when parties let reason — not spite — be their guide. In a separate case, she negotiated a visitation schedule with a couple in which "there was an acknowledgment by both parties that the pet... wasn't a piece of furniture, that both parties had some connection to this animal." The fact that "neither one of them wanted to deprive the other of the love and the companionship of it," she says, was crucial to an amicable settlement. Meekins cautions that when "mean-spiritedness" enters into the arrangements, that's a good sign someone should "get another pet." Meekins would have approved of the way Richmond resident Dean Slocum and his ex-wife worked it out. The stray cat they took into their Bay Area pad several years ago became a factor in their divorce proceedings in 1994. According to Slocum, custody of H.B. — one of the offspring of the original stray, Princess, who moved on shortly after having kittens — was the thorniest detail of the otherwise friendly split. "I think that was the thing we were most stressed about," Slocum remembers. Complicating matters was Slocum's return to Vermont with H.B.'s brother, Pascal; ex-wife Ulla remained in California. "I think Ulla always thought of [H.B.] as kind of her cat," Slocum recalls. "Pascal was kind of my cat. But she was pretty amenable to him spending summers in Vermont. He and Pascal were really good buddies. That's the thing I was arguing for." For two years, H.B. made the cross-country trip, staying with Slocum from April to November. Per the divorce

and sleeping schedules, which makes the transition from one caregiver to the other less stressful. Most important, says Tierney, is that she and Goto respect each other's attachment to their pets. "I couldn't do this without him. These dogs are really high-maintenance," she says. "It's really wonderful knowing that when I'm not here, they're completely taken care of, lovingly. That's worth everything."

agreement, Slocum and Ulla split the air fare and veterinarian's fees. According to Slocum, H.B. didn't seem to mind the arrangement, except for the trip itself. "When I'd take him to the airport, he'd scream the whole way," Slocum says. "[But] the second you got him here, he'd mellow right out, settle right down, and handle it pretty good. And, of course, his brother was living with me year-round...They'd always just hit it right off, even though H.B. had been gone for awhile." Eventually, Ulla began a relationship with someone allergic to cats, at which point H.B. became a permanent Vermont resident.

n these litigious times, it's nice to know that justice is

not blind to animal welfare. But what about this common scenario? A couple meets, falls in love, gets a pet, but falls out of love before they tie the matrimonial knot. W h o gets custody then? According to local pet owners who've been down this road, the best solution respects the pet's needs above all else. While the rationale seems noble enough, there's also a practical side to it. As Jerry Goto, a Warren resident who jointly cares for two dogs, reminds us: "Dogs get pissed about certain things." And they have a way of letting us know. When Goto and his gal Kate Tierney, also of Warren, split up about three years ago, two German short-haired pointers with a mix of black Lab hung in the balance. Sisters Zoe and Ella — the latter named after jazz diva Ella Fitzgerald, Tierney says, for the dogs ability to shatter glass with her bark — were pretty confused at first. True to her fiesty form, Ella began acting out — with inconveniently timed games of hide-andseek. Often Tierney would have to enlist Goto to help track the dog down — a collaboration Tierney suspects was not lost on the perturbed pooch. "She's a piece of work," Tierney concedes. "We'd discover that she was just 50 feet away watching this, hiding behind a tree." The breakup "really upset the animals," she remembers. "They're really sensitive barometers of what's going on in your life. If you're happy, then they're pretty happy. If you're stressed, they tend to pick that up, I think." Still, Tierney and Goto consider themselves lucky. Not only do they live a few miles apart, but each is able to bring Zoe and Ella — "the girls," as both owners refer to them — to work. Tierney owns the Warren-based Indoor/Outdoor Landscape Services, and Goto runs Mad River Cyclery in Waitsfield. Open communication also allows the arrangement to be flexible; a phone call and a quick car trip can change the custody venue at a moment's notice. Making matters easier, says Goto, is that he and Tierney maintain a "real agreeable relationship, probably more so than when we were together." For Zoe and Ella, that means "they're never not with anybody," he adds. Goto notes that he and Tierney also keep the dogs on more or less the same feeding, exercise

or a former Burlington man who recently relocated to Denver, a seasonal custody situation is the next best thing. The man — we'll call him "Rocky," since he requested he not be identified for this article — gets the dog roughly nine months out of the year. His ex takes the pooch off to "dog heaven" in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley for the summer. The agreement is "official but informal," and stipulates that if Rocky s ex returns to bigdog-unfriendly New York City, Rocky will be given full custody. This very situation arose when Rocky was still living in the Queen City a few years ago, and the ex kept her word. The part-time arrangement is back in effect now and, according to Rocky, the dog doesn't seem to mind. "The transition back to a more urban setting is not a problem," he says. "The dog is happy to be reunited and settles into our routine without hesitation. For example, the last time she returned to my house she had eaten, pooped and fallen asleep within minutes of her arrival. Those are pretty good indicators of dog comfort." Rocky emphasizes another theme running through tales of effective joint pet custody: "The dog is rarely alone, no matter who is primary caregiver, and that seems to be a very important element of dog — at least our dog's — contentment." The things we do for pet love — well, sometimes for pet love. According to a Burlington woman who also requested anonymity, joint pet custody almost brought her and her ex back together. When "Raquel" and her man went their separate ways in the mid-'90s, he took the mutt they'd adopted to his new digs in another part of Colorado. Raquel kept the cat she'd brought to the relationship, settling for weekend visits from her ex and their dog. Grateful to maintain her bond with the pet, she nonetheless suspected the visitations were a "tactic to get me back." And it nearly worked. Says Raquel: "Looking back, there definitely is a point in the relationship when [he] and I continued to keep the communication going and to keep in touch because of [the dog]." Sadly, both the dog and Raquel's cat met unpleasant

Per the divorce agreement,

Slocum and Ulla split the air far and veterinarian's fees. fates — a hunter's rifle and a mountain lion, respectively. But the experience of sharing pet custody yielded insight about the role pets can play in a relationship. As Raquel puts it, she and her former boyfriend became dog guardians because they "loved each other and wanted to have something we could care for and be an extension of ourselves, just like a couple who has a child." Today, she says she wouldn't jointly "parent" a pet out of wedlock. "Having an animal is a lifelong commitment," she notes. What may seem like common sense to some still eludes others, notes Kate Tierney, who seriously wonders about people who "get an animal and leave it chained all day. I've altered my lifestyle to take care of the girls because they deserve it...they need to be happy," she says. "If you're going to go into having a dog, you've got to be prepared for a lifestyle change, just like having a kid." For Raquel, that commitment could have influenced her relationship in a way she might have lived to regret. After their initial split, she and her beau eventually found themselves bound for the altar. The invitations had gone out, and the couple had purchased a home. But Raquel held off. "That's just stuff," she says of all the matrimonial groundwork. "It's easy to walk away from." If there had been a dog involved, "it would've been major," she says. What's more, the joint pet custody experience had revealed to her a critical flaw in her almost-husband's character: "He really didn't have the love I thought he had for my cat." ©

sOUnd AdviCe RELATIVE THEORY

For starters, the Burns Sisters really are. Sisters, that is. Now a trio, the singing sibs

from Binghamton, New York, were once a quintet — all the girls in a brood of 12. Though their sweet and spunky songs have been called Celtic and country-folk, in truth they are spirited original American gems with the kind of shivery harmonies that only blood relatives seem able to produce. Live Art presents Annie, Marie and Jeannie Burns at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier this Thursday.

FRENETIC FUSION Mr. Bungle left their zoot suits on the rack back home in sunny SoCal, 'cause what they bring on the road is a style that would challenge any closet: big band, jazz, doo wop, pop, rockabilly, gypsy metal and arty avant-garde noise rock. Don't tax your brain trying to imagine it; just check out the real thing — fronted by Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton — this Thursday at Higher Ground.

B O T T O M S U P It's o n e thing for a band to get "sponsored" by the manufacturers of d r u m sticks, guitar strings and snowboards. But this m o n t h Burlington groovesters Currently N a m e l e s s get a pint-sized local tribute: their name on a beer.

His subsequent studies in movement, which incorporated new music, ethnic influences and macho muscularity, landed him a pio"eering role in the development of American modern dance.

The Eugenics Project in the Green Mountain State BBVtells the disturbing story of eugenicsthe science of human biological improvement through selective breeding- and it's manifestations in Vermont in the 20's and 30's. From research based on documentation by the director of the Vermont Eugenics Project, Henry Perkins, the information became the legitimization for sterilization of incarcerated Vermonters of Native American, and French Canadian descent, in the name of preserving Vermont's "pioneer stock". Breeding Better Vermonters examines social, ethnic, and religious tensions and reveals how population studies, theories of human heredity, and a rhetoric of altruism became subtle, yet powerful tools of social control and exclusion in a state whose motto was "freedom and unity." Author Nancy Gallagher completed graduate work in history at UVM.

a new name — The Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History — and an expanded mission to match, the Sheldon has mounted an impressive new show about Vermont life in the pivotal years of the Great Depression, the New Deal and World War II. "Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make It Do or Do Without" will be especially enlightening to baby boomers who wonder why their parents are still so weird about money, so silly about booze, and so oddly nostalgic for "the good war." Cocurated by museum director Liz Fitzsimmons and researcher Heidi Hutchins Stokes, the show is a carefully selected roomful of photographs, oral history narratives and artifacts. It reveals how Vermonters harnessed their famous frugality, ingenuity and community spirit to get through troubled times. From the 1932 bank holiday to a 1946 welcome-home banquet for returning soldiers, the exhibit features extensive -quotes from Addison County residents, interviewed for a 1998 oral history project. "We wanted to let the people speak

But it wasn't all salmon loaf and poverty. There were "kitchen tunks" — contra dances held in private homes. Long before the invention of chatrooms, girls met boys at "box socials." Each single lady packed a meal for two that was then auctioned off to the highest bidder. The lucky gentlemen got to meet the lady, and get a taste of her cooking. The period comes alive with apt artifacts: a half-bushel basket, a Vermont innovation that changed the apple industry; Alice Wright's prom dress, made from curtain material a la Scarlett O'Haras ball gown; an airmail letter home from a soldier, its envelope covered with the military censor's stamps; a "New Era" potato-chip tin, proclaiming the dubious health benefits of the "scientifically processed" snack. As background, period pop music issues from a large cabinet radio, itself a potent symbol of the age. Fitzsimmons, hired three years ago, has guided the rebirth of the nation's oldest community museum, founded in 1884 by Henry Sheldon. Sheldon was a history buff with

voraciously eclectic tastes. Nobody took a cartload to the town dump without letting him inspect it for treasures. Sheldon's quirky hodgepodge of old stuff — supplemented by years of donations from other local families — is so vast that some items are still uncatalogued a century later. The current exhibit, however, ranges far beyond the Sheldon collection, including vintage photos by Marion Staples Haller and George Lathrop, plus artifacts and photos lent by 38 other institutions and individuals. Surprises abound, casting light on modern concerns such as the Northeast Dairy Compact and resentment of "big box" chain stores. Many of Vermont's modern industries got a boost from war production, the exhibit reveals. Styles were affected, too: Prodded by government safety experts, women making aircraft parts at the local Simmons plant cut their hair short so it wouldn't get tangled in the drill presses. You've probably heard of wartime scrap metal drives, when grandma turned in her aluminum pans to be melted down for airframes. But the Sheldon offers an account of the great Milkweed Drive, when Addison County schoolchildren filled 1000 big sacks with milkweed fluff, needed for stuffing aviator's life jackets. As with all government programs, there were unintended consequences: Milkweed juice stained the clothing of the foraging kids. Federal flaks rushed to the rescue with household stainremoval hints, published in the local papers. Like all good historical exhibits, this one offers constant shocks of recognition and insight about past and present. One of these is a startling photo of Johnny Kenworthy, a wellknown Middlebury street person of the 1920s and '30s, holding a horse in front of the old Pierce House hotel. Kenworthy, his leathery face darkened by drink, slept under the stairs of the Battell Block. ' In 1936, the Board of Health cleaned him up for Christmas, but he "was himself again by New Years." Like its title, this show is somewhat text-heavy. But it's a good read, and should not be missed by anyone curious about the Vermont — and the America — that once was. ®

AMERICAN B E A U T Y * * * * " 2 Okay, I know this has been in town since before the leaves even turned, but listen: I wasn't about to get suckered into seeing either of this past weekends only two new releases. Life is too short, and the odds on either film proving a pleasant surprise way too long. Music of the Heart stars Meryl Streep as a systembucking teacher who transforms the lives of inner-city kids by giving them violin lessons. Some movies attract big stars by offering a role in which they can go hog-wild and draw Oscar attention by storming through a noisy variety-pack of emotions. You know, h la Jodie Foster in Nell. Something tells me that's what we've got here. I'll wait for the movie of the week. And House on Haunted Hill? You know this nothing $15 million remake of a nothing Vincent Price clunker is going to disappear faster than your kids' Hallowe'en candy. Of course it was number one at the box office; it was Hallowe'en weekend, and the only other new release was Music of the Heart. No, thank you. So I was left with an opportunity to finally see a film I had missed on its opening weekend and heard great things about ever since. American Beauty is everything I had heard and more. For those who still haven't seen it, here's the story. The feature film debut of white-hot Broadway director Sam Mendes, the picture stars Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening. Sort of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfi meets Blue Velvet by way of Our Town, the movie chronicles the transfiguration of a suburban father and husband. Spacey does some of the most

equally lost soul, a strident, highstrung woman who was once funny and filled with love for life and her husband before her talent for living was allowed to atrophy. One night, at a pep rally at his daughter's school, Spacey has a vision that changes everything. That vision takes the shape of Meria Suvari in the role of his daughter's best friend. It's a gorgeously surreal moment in which the cheerleader comes to symbolize everything Spacey has let slip away — promise, vitality, openness, freedom, the pursuit and appreciation of beauty. From that moment on he's a new man, deliriously the captain of his fate. Spacey refuses to cater or cower at home. He quits his job, blackmails his boss and takes a stress-free job flipping burgers. He befriends the new kid next door and buys pot from him. He works out in his garage and regains the body he had 20 years before. He catches the eye of the nubile young woman who inspired his transformation in the first place. And, just when it looks like the whole deal is about to take a wrong turn onto Lolita terrain, something utterly unexpected happens: Spacey becomes a good guy. A wise man. Someone who's remembered what being human means. Much, much, much more happens, of course — including one of the most touching stories of young love you'll see for a long while — but far be it from me to spoil the fun. Which this movie is, from its first frame to the last. Fun and smart, perfectly acted, brilliantly written and directed with the touch of a poet. Ever since it hit theaters weeks ago, all I've heard is how good American Beauty is, but it is even better than I expected. ®

that a y o u n g boy has d o n e something n a u g h t y and, as a result, was t u r n e d into a dog by a mysterious fellow with magic powers. It's Kibbles & Bits for this kid until he's completed all 100 good deeds, or until the show goes off the air, whichever comes first.

can get your cat's m i n d read for a fee. A n o t h e r offered information on the latest in N e w York's "anti-ferret legislation." Does Ed Koch k n o w about this? A third, called D o g g y Dangers, asked, " W o u l d you k n o w what to do if your dog was drowning?" That's easy. Call "Animal Rescue." For everyone w h o ever owned a copy of that painting of four dogs playing poker, there's an all-talking m o n k e y show on T B S called " C h i m p C h a n n e l " that will likely appeal to your particular aesthetics. "Talking" monkeys have been a staple since the golden age of television, of course. It's c o m f o r t i n g to k n o w the classics never go o u t of style.

"Animal Rescue" is just what it sounds like — a "Rescue 9 1 1 " for man's best friends. H o s t Alex Paen and his crew take their cameras around the world to record the daring rescues of beached whales and other accidentprone beasts. W h o k n e w they could get into so m u c h trouble? A n d w h o k n e w they could get on-line? I saw a T V ad the other day for Petopia.com, " T h e Internet Pet Paradise." It's a great spot, too, ingeniously designed to appeal to the domestic-animal m i n d , with a dog sniffing a r o u n d a giant h y d r a n t , a m a m m o t h food dish and a toilet bowl the size of Lake George. W h e n I logged on, I couldn't resist checking o u t the site's Lifestyle d e p a r t m e n t . I halfexpected to d o w n l o a d pics of doggies in sports cars q u a f f i n g champagne. W h a t I did find was only slightly less surreal: a link to a service where you

F r o m "Garfield" to "Catdog," the animated animal population has gotten totally o u t of control. T h e r e are litterally — get it? — h u n dreds of cartoon cats and dogs in the business today. A n i m a t r o n i c ones, too. T N T just produced and aired an allnew version of Orwell's Animal Farm utilizing the same technology pioneered in the Babe movies. Some animals are lucky e n o u g h to get work on televi-

sion even though they possess no apparent performing talent. For years Jim Fowler's been trotting out zoo animals on the "Tonight" and "Today" shows. Jack Hanna's "Animal Adventures" seldom involves anything more theatrical than molting.

Tune into Animal Planet, locally on channel 12, and you can enjoy animal and petbased viewing from dawn till dusk and well into the next day, every day. There's a callin advice show, "Pet Line," hosted by vets. There's a med-

h o m e to that hyper Australian guy, Steve Irwin, and his show, "Crocodile H u n t e r . " He's always wrestling crocs, yanking poisonous snakes o u t of trees and just generally bothering the bejesus out of God's poor creatures. If Paul H o g a n and Richard S i m m o n s were fused at the s u b a t o m i c level, this is the guy you'd get.

W h e r e are the killer bees when you need them? But the biggest breakout animal act of recent years is Gidget, the Taco Bell chihuahua. Forget Ricky Martin,

this is the guy who led the way for the current wave of Latin sensations. I don't see Enrique Iglasius working with showbiz giants like Shaquille O ' N e i l or Godzilla, d o you? T h e hairless star's tie-in spots were a h u n dred times more f u n than the big lizard's movie. This p u p p y packs more charisma and screen presence per p o u n d than almost anybody in the business. Just a thought: If the Reform Party is serious about harnessing the power of show business for political clout, its leaders should quit wasting time on Warren and Jesse and start talking with the real top dog. H e may never make it to the W h i t e House, b u t he'd be a shoo-in to make the next 13 m o n t h s a lot more interesting. A n d given the current political options, Gidget's high profile in the media and the unprecedented popularity of T V animals a m o n g Americans, w h o can say what his chances might be? Certainly he wouldn't be the first President who's spent time in the dog house. ®

thing of an imaginative soft option. In film terms, it's as if Tarkovsky tried to make Stalker but ended up with The Postman. Presumably the very stark present is intended to contrast with the interpretative haze of the past, but instead of drama it supplies bathos. While this isn't a fatal wound, the dramatic structure of the book is weakened. It almost becomes necessary to shut out Susan's present, the Strags and the weather in an effort to concentrate on the holiday and its aftermath. T h e complicated

And Wales, so full of arcane promise yet so often blanketed in dismal mist, is brought to life with love and a tinge of mischief. Davis never reveals whether the hint of magic she brings to the narrative is real or tongue-incheek, but in a wonderful passage that takes place in an old hotel on the Gower — in the mythology of the Welsh Celts, one of the entrances to the world of the dead — it seems as if the

membrane separating this world from the next has become so thin that influences from the other side are seeping through. There is a great deal to admire and enjoy about The Walking Tour,; it puzzles and draws the reader in to attempt, alongside Susan, the unraveling of an old mystery. While this reviewer found the dystopian future unconvincing, it's difficult to be anything but subjective when straying into the realms of science fiction. Davis' failing, perhaps, is that too many disparate ideas were used in its conception, and the result is a toocomplicated hybrid. ®

zoo for a McDonald's in Toronto Since the couple moved to Vermont eight years ago, the artist has been focusing on his gallery on the ferry road in Orwell as well as his dog-oriented gallery in Woodstock — established even before Stephen Huneck moved in with his own highly touted canine creations. Latourelle's sculptures have a folksy appeal, and are staples at all three Frog Hollow craft centers. A visitor might find one of his charming, high-tailed barn cats — modeled after the five at his Orwell farmhouse — any number of avian options perched on "limbs" of wood, and whole families of adorable dogs. A portfolio available for viewing reveals the sculptor's repertoire of breeds, as well as a handful of lambs — he and Marlene used to keep sheep — and even piles of wooden vegetables. The photos don't include models of the Latourelles' 2000-pound steer named Clarence. "Norton has made a number of smaller Clarences," says Marlene, "as wel as a number of Holsteins." What the Latourelles don't have is real dogs. "These are the best dogs to have — the nomaintenance dogs," Marlene advises. "You don't have to walk them, feed them, clean up after them, and they won't run out in front of a car and get hit. They're very trustworthy." Alan Paschell couldn't agree

more. The Calais artist has worked in ceramics, and animals, since 1978 — full-time for the last six years. Also carried at Frog Hollow, his whimsical critters — frogs, pigs, turtles and a gargoylish creature called a gremble — are usually as practical as they are amusing. A reclining frog's belly becomes a soap dish; a gremble encircles a bowl; a turtle proffers a tea jar. The "usable" parts are glazed; the animal parts are au naturel. Paschell, who attributes his quirky sense of humor to his father, admits he doesn't have pets now, nor did he growing up. "But I feed all the neighborhood dogs," he offers, adding, "I don't have to feed these animals." With his children grown and gone, Paschell turns his attentions to a clay menagerie — he's creating an all-turtle fleet for the "Winter Whimsey" show at Vermont Clay Studio. Though he admits turtles are his personal favorite, he's also making pig saltand-pepper shakers — the salt comes out their snouts — and is working on his biggest-ever commission, a 12-foot ceramic totem pole for a buyer in Berlin, Vermont. Sounding more like a marketing expert than the ceramics major he was at Goddard College nearly 30 years ago, Paschell notes his "most frequent clientele is female, usually 30 to 35 years old. They must have the best

A CROSS-REFER ENCE FOR CAR PARTS

: Dear Torn and Ray, I'm sure this is probably top; secret information, but maybe you can let me in on the secret. For years, I have tried to find a cross| reference that will tell me which parts from one car will fit into | another car. I want to know this so I can advertise to the largest group of people who could use what I'm selling. For instance, I have a set of aluminum alloy wheels from a 1979 Mercury Capri RS Turbo. I suspect they would cross over to a Ford Mustang, but for which model

Dear Tom and Ray, I have a small bet with a lady friend about an old advertising slogan. I say it was, "When better cars are built, Buick will build them.
