How many it take to change a lightbulb? M ore to the point, how m any lightbulbs does it take to change a politician?
— David Robbins Owner, Upstairs Antiques Burlington Th re e : one to belittle wasteful existen ce,
a ch air, change it and return to the private sec tor in disgust.
A PPLA U D IN G O U T R IG H T Ruth Horowitzs most recent article, “Having It O ut” [October 25], rings with truth. We applaud the indefatigable work o f both Outright Vermont, in particular Keith Elston, and the Vermont Human Rights Commission. These two bodies have contributed mightily to the human-rights cause. Often, Americans sadly asso ciate human-rights abuses with a shrug and a “not-in-my-backyard” attitude. We have freedom. We have life. We are content. But human-rights abuses do, in fact, happen every day in the U.S. From capital punishment administration to police brutality, there are serious human-rights violations which confront the American populace. “Having It O ut” introduces one such case here in Vermont. The article puts a face, puts a name to the indi* viduals involved and, by doing so, personalizes the often enig matic “human-rights abuses.” The human-rights issue fun damentally examined in Abram Harrisons case is discrimination due to sexual orientation. One could use a pedantic mix o f words to illustrate the gist o f this
type o f discrimination, but suf fice it to say, in the words o f Nat Michael, the Jericho resident who brought the discrimination charges before the Vermont Human Rights Commission (V H RC), “It means that they can’t go in and debate these kids’ humanity.” Enough said! And the result o f this “more accepting environment” that will naturally arise due to the V H R C ’s ruling? It can be found in Keith Elston’s rhetorical ques tion: “Does [the settlement] help send a message that Mount Mansfield values all o f its stu dents, and will this help students at that school feel safer and more a part o f the school community there? The simple answer is yes.” Amnesty International USA, in particular the “Raise the R oof” program, is seeking to advocate on behalf o f human rights, but in a much more tar geted fashion. Statewide, Amnesty is seeking the support o f a ll elected officials, from our members o f Congress to the state senators in Montpelier, and from the local mayor to the local city council. One specific proposal, and it relates to the Harrison case and
our state government, is to devel op, implement and evaluate a statewide human-rights curricu lum. However, H R E — that is, human-rights education — is not part o f a larger discussion in improving our educational sys tem. Teachers, administrators and parents, by and large, are not realizing the unique opportunity we have in Vermont to funda mentally improve the educational system and, by turn, to improve our children’s lives. Interestingly enough, the article points to the notion that “the kids” have a much better understanding of what it means to be human than their elders. Let us all learn from them. — David R Dore Burlington Dore is the legislative coordinator o f the Vermont chapter o f Amnesty International N EW RU LES FO R B U R LIN G TON? It has been just over a year since I left Burlington, and I am quite encouraged by the work that the City Council has accom plished over the past year. Enacting new rules and regula tions to strangle the lifeblood from the lascivious and greedy
bar owners was just a brilliant start to unfurling a Master Plan that will transform Burlington into the Republic it most certain ly should be. Next on the docket, slum lords and student pariahs take notice, for it is you that will be rid from this fine City. I happen to be privy to the Council’s lean ings, as I have had ample oppor tunity to watch them operate. I have some excellent suggestions for what should be next on the Agenda. • When the city police conduct their search for dissident tenants, I would suggest, “May I see your papers, please?” ... would be a perfect time to check for over stocking o f refrigerators or liquor cabinets. Perhaps the City should enact a regulation that tenants and homeowners be allowed to stock no more than one six-pack o f beer and two bottles o f wine... per household. • To ensure that the overcrowd ing o f public sidewalks by row dies does not continue, the City should enact a curfew disallowing non-Burlington residents from downtown after 9 p.m. Unless, of course, they can provide proper co n tin u e d on p a g e 4 4

Plop! Plop! Fizz! Fizz...
Oh! what an election year it is. And you, lucky reader, know how it all turned out. Yours truly does not. This week’s edition of Seven Days went to press before the votes were counted Tuesday night. For us, it’s still Tuesday afternoon in Burlap, and the great miracle of democracy is still happening — voting. Voting is the shining light in the darkness of history. Make no mistake — the ability for us to choose our own leaders in this manner is a very new concept in human history. For all we know now, by the time you’re reading this, militia troops loyal to Ruth Dwyer have overpowered Statehouse security chief, the pistol-packing Dave JanawiCZ, and are holding a “Take Vermont Back” celebration on the Statehouse lawn — a celebration that includes burning the five black-robed justices of the Vermont Supreme Court at the stake. If that’s the case, this will surely be the last published issue of Seven Days — a real collectors’ item. Nice knowing you. However, while lounging around and recollecting the politi cal events of the past year, one story rises to the top as the creme BY P ET E de la crime alignment of the stars that, for us, best reflects Vermont’s bitterly fought race for governor. *’ Last Wednesday evening, Ruth Dwyer drew a > couple hundred true believers to a pep rally at the middle school in South Burlington. The event was the lead in the Associated Press wire story that wrapped up the day on the Vermont campaign trail. And when we read it, our jaw dropped. The article by R O S S S n e y d began with what’s known as a soft lead: “South Burlington — Dominic Ladue of Essex Junction drove over to Tuttle Middle School on Wednesday to tell Ruth Dwyer just how important he believes her campaign for governor is. “I want to send a message out that reaches all the governors and legislators across the country who don’t listen,” Ladue told Dwyer at her final stop on what turned out to be more than 70 town meetings across the state. “Ladue’s message won a broad smile from Dwyer and thunderous applause from the roughly 225 people who gathered in the middle school cafe teria to hear a woman who has become their hero ine.” Heroine, indeed. To Mr. Sneyd, as well as to most readers, Mr. Ladue was just another one of many passionate peo ple rallying to the anti-government message of Ruthless Ruth the Fairy Godmother. But to yours truly, and some criminal-justice workers, Dominic Ladue is famous. Mr. Ladue has, as they say, cleaned up his act. But oh, what an act it was. During the 1980s, Dominic was a perennial candidate for Downtown Dirtball of the Year as he conducted his own onepunk crime wave. In fact, Mr. Ladue proudly boast ed to Seven Days in a Monday interview of his “ 15 misdemeanors and four felony convictions.” And in 1992 he became the “poster child” for Vermont’s new hate-crime law. You see, late one night back in 1991, while on probation for burglary and drug dealing, Dominic Ladue attacked and viciously beat a gay man in Burlington’s Battery Park. He stalked and attacked his victim, he said, simply because the man was gay. Mr. Ladue appealed his conviction on the addi tional charge of breaking the hate-crime law. It was Ladue’s appeal that sent the law to the Supreme Court to see if it passed constitutional muster. It did. Dominic ended up serving 3 1/2 years, he said. Mr. Ladue also told Seven Days he had success fully completed an anger-management course while
in the St. Albans prison. He’s married, has kids and runs his own small transport business. He said he now accepts the fact that he has a responsibility to abide by the laws of Vermont. He’s learned his les son, he said. “I have to live according to the Constitution,” said Ladue. “I have to obey the laws of Vermont. But when they passed the civil-union law, they threw the Constitution into the garbage.” Quite the constitutional scholar, isn’t he? Apparently 14 misdemeanors and four felonies, including an aggravated assault and a hate crime, make one a legal authority. And his views on the subject mesh perfectly with those of Mrs. Dwyer. Dominic told Seven Days he contacted the Dwyer campaign’s Colchester headquarters to find out if he could vote.. Mr. Ladue said he was worried his criminal record, especially the felonies, would disqualify him. He said the campaign office did some research and got back to him. He said they told him he could vote. Hey, every vote counts. And, get this. Mr. Ladue will be splitting his ballot, he said. Ruthless gets his pick for governor, but when he comes to President, he’s voting for Al Gore the Democrat. The thing that ticked Dominic off about George W. Bush is the way Dubya tried to hide his crimi nal record. Dominic sounds quite proud of his. R FR EY N E “He lied about it,” said Ladue, referring to Dubya’s drunk-driving arrest. “I’m Al Gore all the way.” Hey, it’s still a free country. And who knows, if Ruthie ever makes governor, Dominic Ladue could be at the head of the line for Commissioner of Corrections. It’s the hands-on experience that counts, eh? How Would Jesus Vote? — That’s the title of the theologically sleazy last-minute pitch made by Vermont’s Roman Catholic Bishop, the Most Rev. Kenneth Angell. The Big Bish had just such a letter read from Catholic pulpits statewide and one can download the video from the church Web site at vermontcatholic.org. Good question, eh? We’ve heard from no shortage of good Catholic Vermonters who have expressed their shame over the Bingo Bishop’s behavior on the issue of civil unions. Unfortunately, gay couples are excluded from the Paradise where this Angel of Darkness plays gatekeeper. There were so many times during this political struggle when Bishop Angell could have brought Christ’s love to the battlefield, and with it the gospel of peace and love. So many opportunities were missed. But back to the question: How would J e s U S vote? Well, Bish, consider the fact that, according to the gospels, Jesus was a left-wing, anti-establish ment Jew who hung around with guys all the time — except for his “good friend,” the hooker Mary

Jesus never entered a “traditional marriage,” and ended up getting arrested and executed because the “bishops” of his time considered him a trouble maker of the highest order. Jesus carried a message of love and salvation to the poor, the imprisoned, the outcasts of society. He cleaned out the thieves running the temple and opened hearts to the salvation that accompanies mercy. What do you think? If we put Jesus’ filled-out Vermont ballot alongside the Bingo Bishop’s filledout ballot, would they be worlds apart? Media Notes — Kudos to our local ABC affiliate, WVNY-TV!

Curses, Foiled Again Federal authorities charged Neal Webb Provisor, 41, with robbing a bank in Ohio’s Miami Township after investi gators found the holdup note had been written on the back o f Provisor’s pay stub from a restaurant where he worked. FBI Special Agent Timothy A. Shaw said the suspect’s name, address and Social Security number had been blacked out but not enough to prevent investigators from deciphering them. • Larry E. Higgins, 51, was charged with robbing a drycleaning shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after the clerk gave police the license number o f his getaway car. Alyssa Gross said the cars plates had been covered with duct tape but not enough to keep her from mak ing out the plates letters and numbers.

Th anks for Nothing British mountain climber Michael “Bronco” Lane, 55, presented the National Army Museum in London with the five fingers and 10 toes he lost to frostbite while climbing M ount Everest in 1976. “I don’t
think it was quite what they were expecting,” Lane said. “But I haven’t got any use for them anymore.”
Rescue M e A woman in her sixties was trapped in her windowless bath room for 28 hours in Perth, Australia. She said she was in the bathroom when the phone rang. As she left to answer it, the doorknob on the inside o f the door came off in her hand. She set it down, then answered the phone. When she returned to the bathroom, she closed the door behind her, only to realize that without the knob she couldn’t open the door. She said she spent all day and night in the 5-by-5-foot room yelling for help before a friend, who sus pected something might be amiss, followed her intuition and found the trapped woman. • Rachel Chandler, 73, fell 20 feet down an abandoned well in her daughter’s back yard in Perris, California, and was trapped for three and a half hours before someone spotted her. She had to stay in the 40inch-wide well another three and a half hours while firefight
ers tried to get her out. “N o body knew the well was there,” said Capt. Andrew Bennett o f the Riverside County Fire Department. “There was 6 inches o f dirt covering it.” • Gregory Roberts, 43, called 911 from a pay phone in the lobby o f a library in Las Cruces, New Mexico, at 2 a.m. to say he was trapped. Officers who rescued him also arrested him on suspicion o f breaking and entering after finding his shoe prints on broken glass from a window where they said he gained entry. Police Sgt. Joel Cano said Roberts was wander ing around the library when he got trapped between the inner and outer doors o f the foyer. • Gustavo Rivera, 39, spent eight hours stuck inside a grease-lined ventilator at a diner in Hialeah, Florida, with his arms outstretched and his legs dangling between iron security grates, which the owner installed to prevent burglars from using the shaft to enter the diner. After a passerby heard Rivera’s cry for help and called 911, Rivera admitted to his res cuers that he had been trying to break in.
Little Lotta New Mexico officials took a 3-year-old girl into custody because she weighed 120 pounds. A social worker declared the 3-1 /2-foot-tall girl
would die unless she went on a special diet, exercised more and used a breathing machine when she slept. The state also accused the girl’s parents, Adela Martinez and Miguel Regino, o f feeding the child solid food after a doctor recommended a liquid diet.
Coitus Interruptus A couple who picked a meadow near the Czech Republic village o f Brnicko for a romantic interlude one night were run over by a tractor whose driver was taking a short cut through the field on his way to a party. The woman suffered injuries to her chest and the man to his buttocks. Police charged the driver o f the tractor with causing the injuries, even though he insisted he didn’t see the love-making pair.
Language of Diplom acy Prior to meeting President Clinton, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, who doesn’t speak English well, was advised to ask the president how he was, wait for an affir mative response, then add, “Me, too.” According to the Asahi Evening News newspaper, Mori asked instead, “Who are you?” When Clinton replied, “I’m Hillary’s husband,” Mori added, “Me, too.” ©

limited Gore-Tex Jackets & WRITER WRONGED: When it comes to hiring reporters, The Burlington
Free Press has a grass-is-greener philosophy. Given the choice between local and long-distance, the Gannett-owned daily almost always opts for out-of-state. The paper would rather have underpaid rookies learning on the job than journalists “wisened” by institutional memory. That’s the only explanation for a top-level decision to bypass Susan Green for the arts writing job she has had on a “temporary basis” since Weekend sec tion editor Casey Seiler left last year. A former Freeps full-timer — she was the daily’s first culture-vulture decades ago — Green stayed on long after her temp time was over. She also filled in when features writer Sally Poliak went on maternity leave before that. But a sub at the Freeps does not a staffer make, even if the writer has a nice style, flexible schedule and loads of local experience. And while the arts community has been mourning her loss for several weeks now, officials at the Free Press will not confirm or deny that Green has been let go. “Don’t read anything into this,” suggests Executive Editor Mickey Hilten, who returned a message left for Weekend section Editor Elizabeth Munding. “As a mat ter of policy, we don’t talk about our employees.” Needless to say, he won’t talk about Green’s replacement, either — only to reassure readers in fluent Gannettspeak, “We are committed to continuing the strong arts coverage in the paper.” Rumor has it the new guy hails from the televi sion section of the Toronto Star. LABOR PAINS: The Vermont Stage production of Midwives came out head-first and healthy two weeks ago — an artful delivery of Chris Bohjalian’s book onto the beautiful new FlynnSpace stage. Only one complication: A woman in the audience passed out during the birth, er, death, scene. “She tried to make it to the door and crumpled,” play wright Dana Yaaton says of the patron, who apparently was not the only one affected. When Yeaton mentioned the incident to a friend, he said, “I was almost that woman.” Similarly, one of Yeaton’s Middlebury stu dents nearly fainted during an earlier reading of the play. Next time, Yeaton says, he may include a written warning in the program: “Caution: Drama may cause sudden loss of consciousness.” Or in the case of this admirable production, much-appreciated gain.

ON A ROLL: Some anthropologists look for cultural clues in isolated places. Others, like David Napier, find inspiration on the open road.
Last March, the Middlebury prof brought a ’69 Chrysler station wagon east from California in preparation for an auto art project that could put Burlington’s “Promulgator” to shame. At Napier’s urging, Middlebury v contracted California artist David Best to construct a mobile marker of the college’s commitment to community giving. In short, students in Napier’s “local activism” course are charged to gather significant junk from local nonprofits. Best will oversee the decoration this week in the garages behind the fieldhouse. “It could be wonderfully wild or hideous,” Napier says o f the finished product, which “becomes a symbolic map of the participants’ interests and concerns.” Students are doing most of the work, but are still short 20 cases of silicone . . . Talk about public works. Burlington City Arts will unveil an exhibit of prints on Friday night that were made using a 4-ton steamroller. Seven local artists were invited to roll their own at the September opening of the new Community Printmaking Studio in Memorial Auditorium — the city-sanctioned space is a perfect marriage of art and industry. Now, two months later, the large, spontaneous creations are for sale. You can get positive impres sions from Bonnie Christensen, Tony Sini, John Anderson, Don Hanson, Val Hird, Axel Stohlberg, Homer W ells and Peter Harris.

FULL PRECIPITATION; Come rain or snow or sleet or hail — David Giancola is likely to be making another weather-related action movie.
The Rutland filmmaker recently wrapped Lightning: Fire From the Sky, a rain-soaked adventure starting Stacy Keach, John Schneider, Michele Greene and Jessie Eisenburg. Come February, he moves onto the white stuff — avalanches, actually, with a “family disaster movie” that calls for a snow-smothered resort. Giancola plans to approach Pico as a possible location. In the meantime, he’s leasing his studio to a group of independ ent filmmakers for the entire month of December. Generally speaking, American Gun, written and directed by Alan Jacobs, is about how firearms affect people’s lives. “It’s about where this gun goes — in some cases good, in some cases bad,” Giancola says of the film, which the Vermont Film Commission helped lure to the state. Although Giancola won’t name names, the pic is rumored to have some hefty talent attached. Charleton Heston, maybe? POLITICS AS UNUSUAL: Where is Fred Tuttle when we need him? If any election season needed a little comic relief, it was this one. The latest from the star of Man with a Plan is actually the work of Sean Ingoldsby, a Tunbridge native who has jumped squarely on the Tuttle bandwagon with a new compact disc, Fred Speaks. It’s a freewheeling conversation with Tuttle — and his wife Dottie, who pipes up occasion ally to scold him — on subjects ranging from girlie shows and sap beer to World War II. If you can get beyond the excessive barnyard effects, and milk-it factor, the interview has some anthropological merit. Ingoldsby even gets Tuttle to sing — well, speak — “White Christmas.” Can you say stocking stuffer? ® - .

W hy outdoor advocates are arguing over Essex County's wild woods
B y J o h n D il l o n
e’re miles back in the middle o f nowhere, but George Willy makes me promise not to tell where were going. Like many in the Northeast Kingdom, he has three, sometimes four jobs. He’s a beekeeper and operates a bed and breakfast. He guides hunters and fish ermen through the deep woods o f Essex County. Willy is also the manager o f East Burke’s water system, and for much o f the previous week, he was shoulder-deep in a ditch, harried by a pesky main leak. Today, Willy is wearing his guide hat as we’re bumping in a truck along a gravel road, next to a tumbling, tannic stream. We’re headed toward a clearcut he promis es will offer a choice view o f Northeast Kingdom highlands. A burly man who plows moose-like through the woods, Willy has guided people here before, but he doesn’t like to advertise the coordinates. The Essex County timberlands have been discovered. We’re cruising through property that until recently was part o f the Northeast’s vast industrial forest, supplying paper and timber companies in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. But starting in the late 1980s, the century-old pattern o f land ownership underwent a seismic shake-up: Industrial owners began to sell to appease Wall Street investors, who saw they could make more money if the real-estate assets were sliced off and sold. Three years ago, one-third o f Essex County — almost 200 square miles — went on the block as the Connecticutbased Champion International Co. sought to liquidate much o f its Northeast hold

ings. State officials and private conserva tionists scrambled to protect the compa ny’s 133,000 acres in Vermont, an area that includes pristine watersheds, dense forests, several species o f endangered birds and the state’s largest deer wintering yard. Some 84,000 acres were eventually sold with conservation restrictions to Essex Timber Company LLC, a private invest ment group based in Massachusetts. The state acquired 22,000 acres for a new West Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Another 26,000 acres were sold to the fed eral government as part o f its Silvio O. Conte National Wildlife Refuge. Public access and the protection o f “traditional uses” — such as hunting and snowmobiling — were guaranteed in a series o f complex easements, the legal covenants that define how the land is to be protected and used. The easements on the 84,000-acre private parcel also include an unusual mandate requiring the owner, starting in 2040, to harvest at least half the forest’s net annual growth. Like others who live in this corner o f the north woods, Willy is both elated that the land is being conserved and apprehen sive about its future. Despite protections from development, the acreage is still being fought over. Environmentalists are pushing the state to establish roadless “ecological reserves” on its portion o f the former Champion land, while some who work the woods view any timber not slat ed for harvesting as a wasted resource. And these traditional eco-fights o f log ging versus wilderness are not the only conflicts over the land. The battle lines are being drawn over different and sometimes competing notions o f how public acreage should be used and enjoyed. Some hunters

and camp owners are reluctant to share the wilds with the growing ranks o f hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders who also want their slice of the wooded pie. We turn a corner and a new metal gate, painted bright orange, blocks the road. The barrier was put up recently and is intended to stop all but foot traffic. It’s not entirely successful. Tracks o f all-terrain vehicles etch the gravel where the drivers cut around one corner post. “This really disturbs me,” Willy says o f the gate. “This wasn’t here last fall.” Apparently the new corporate owner has begun to close road access to portions o f the property, while still meeting the let ter o f the public-access agreements by allowing foot traffic. Although ATVs are not allowed, it’s clear the ban on the fourwheelers is being defied.

The property is in fact a grand, evolving experiment in land management, from the unusual requirement that the Essex timberland be logged, to the hybrid ownership structure, to the effort to bal ance needs o f rival recreation users who

are all vying for a piece o f paradise. The tensions have surfaced in a series o f meetings convened to help the state craft a public-access plan for the state and Essex Timber property. The two-year plan ning process will determine which areas are opened to new hiking trails, as well as where and how other uses — such as horseback riding and mountain biking — are allowed. Also to be determined is the quantity o f state land to be set aside for permanent protection from timber har vesting. (The federal government has a separate process to craft a management plan for its 26,000 acres.) The state is paying $244,000 to a con sulting firm, Maine-based Land & Water Associates, that is guiding the effort to draft a management plan by January 2002. The calendar is full o f meetings, lis tening sessions and focus groups designed to solicit opinions from hunters, trappers, hikers and others who wish to use the area. A 13-person “Citizens Advisory Council,” set up by the Legislature, is gathering public input. The final decisions on how the land will be managed, however, will be made by a steering committee composed o f rep resentatives o f the state, the Essex Timber
P LA N N IN G A H EA D Anyone wishing to wade into the debate over the Champion lands future faces a staggering array o f planning committees, nonprofit groups, special-interest organ izations and others seeking and offering input. Here’s a rundown o f the roster: • Champion Lands Steering Committee, responsible for developing the plan for how the land is used. The committee includes representatives o f organizations that own the property or have direct legal responsibility through conservation easements. Members are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Vermont Agency o f Natural Resources, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board and two private conservation organizations, the Vermont Land Trust and the Vermont chapter o f the Nature Conservancy. • Champion Land Transaction Citizen Advisory Council, created by the Legislature as a forum to hear and resolve land-management issues. The council is advisory only and is composed o f people with a stake in how the land is used, including representatives o f the logging industry, a pri vate timber business, hunters, snowmobilers, camp leaseholders, towns, the state, conservationists and the federal government.
N o longer. The state’s Sustainable Jobs Fund wants to build the region’s business base with a three-year, $180,000 “Nulhegan Economic Futures Project.” The project, which takes its name from the pristine Nulhegan River that runs through the area, is designed to “con struct a shared vision” among communi ties like Brunswick, East Burke, Bloom field and Island Pond that could funnel

Co. and the private easement holders, the Vermont Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy. At the same time, state officials, non profits and community groups have also launched a half-dozen other efforts to gauge the economic potential for the region and to attract new business, using outdoor recreation and the regions untamed beauty as the draw. Island Pond, on the western border o f the former Champion land, and Bruns wick on its eastern side are positioning themselves as “gateway” communities in hopes o f snagging tourist dollars. Peggy Halpin, who chairs the Island Pond Chamber o f Commerce, pushed hard to get the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to locate the temporary headquarters for its wildlife refuge in the old train station in town. Winter weekends already bring as many as 2000 snowmobilers a day to Island Pond. M any drive hours to use the extensive network o f groomed trails that criss-cross the timberlands. Halpin, who operates a snowmobile dealership with her husband, believes the federal wildlife refuge, with its links to the huge expanse o f state and private land, can attract sum mer visitors as well. “What it really does is broaden the tourist appeal for Island Pond throughout the year,” she says. “It also brings up a dif ferent type o f tourist. The refuge will offer fishing, hiking, birdwatching, canoeing.” Like urban centers vying to hold the
Olympic games, the tiny communities o f Island Pond and Brunswick, on the far east side o f Essex County, competed to host Fish and Wildlife’s regional offices. Brunswick won. While the federal agency has temporary offices in Island Pond, it is renovating a closed restaurant and hotel in Brunswick for its permanent local headquarters. Brendan Whittaker, chairman o f the selectboard for the Connecticut River town, says that in his 40 years in Brunswick he has never seen such entre preneurial optimism. He says he’s had inquiries from people looking to start outdoor guiding and bed-and-breakfast businesses. “I do think [the public land] is a potential shot in the arm,” Whittaker says. “I’m seeing increased bike traffic. The Connecticut River is full o f canoes. Changes are beginning.”
■ ■ ■ he territory up here doesn’t have the dramatic beauty o f the nearby White Mountains. And you don’t see the classic Vermont patchwork o f farms, forests and fields. The hills are rel atively low; the woods are buggy, boggy and heavily logged. But the quiet o f those woods, broken only by the wind in the trees, is sublime. For someone living in Boston or Montreal, the solitude may be priceless — or at least marketable. Essex County has always been the states forgotten corner, Whittaker says.

profit groups [representing] conservation ists, trail organizations, economic devel opment groups,” Stevens says. “They’re all standing in a circle and somebody dropped a bag o f silver dollars in the middle and they’re all busting their skulls diving for it. That bag o f silver dollars is the Champion land, unfortunately.” While Stevens worries about wellintentioned legions descending on Essex County, the loudest voices raised in com plaint so far have come from the camp owners, who are angry that the land deals set time limits on their property privi leges. The camp owners now have a better lease deal than Champion provided. The state is offering lifetime leases, plus an extra 20 years, as opposed to the five-year stretches provided by Champion. Yet the lease holders are still upset. They see the eventual termination o f the leases as part o f a steady erosion o f their way o f life. Robert Bancroft shot his first rabbit in the Essex County woods back in 1959. He now lives in Westford, on the fringes o f Chittenden County sprawl, and says he savors the solitude and remoteness o f Vermont’s Northeast corner. If the Champion land are traversed by hiking or mountain-bike trails, Bancroft fears, hunters will invariably be crowded out by people who view killing wildlife as abhorrent. He said he saw the same thing happen in southern Vermont, where he

I’M SEEING INCREASED DIKE TRAFFIC. THE CONNECTICUT RIVER IS FULL OF CANOES. CHANGES ARE BEGINNING.” - B R E N D A N W H IT T A K E R . B R U N S W IC K S E L E C T B O A R D tourists into the public lands. A separate group — the Northeast Kingdom Enterprise Collaborative — is seeking federal economic development grants for the region. Robert Burnham, an East Burke resi dent and retired university professor, is on the board o f Kingdom Trails Association, a nonprofit group hoping to develop a network o f mountain-bike trails on the former Champion property. Burnham, who is also involved in the effort to win the federal economic devel opment grants, says the region needs industry that will sustain its rural charac ter, and the trail network will bring visi tors eager for outdoor adventure. “I want to see that we maintain the environment and traditional uses. But I realize we have to have it work out eco nomically so it can be sustained over a long period o f time,” says Burnham. “Some o f that’s going to change things. There’s considerable fear among the local people that this is going to become Disneyland. N o one wants that. We won’t have water slides or reptile farms.” Indeed, not everyone is delighted at the prospect o f Essex County becoming Vermont’s latest tourist draw. Graydon Stevens, who was raised in Morgan in neighboring Orleans County, now runs Vermont Outdoor Guides Association, a referral service and advocacy organization for the state’s outdoor outfitters. He’s afraid that all the hype about Vermont’s north woods could ultimately ruin the very qualities that make the place unique. He believes too many people from out side the region are planning its fate. “I have this awful image in my head o f a circle o f people from various non
and his family used to hunt. The hunting was ruined after the woods became popu lar with cross-country skiers, he says. “They would come down and try to interfere with the dogs, and tell us we were awful people to hunt the bunny rabbits,” Bancroft says. “These types o f things will happen when you bring in these nontraditional uses.” The camp owners have formed a new association to lobby for changes in the lease terms. Steve McLeod, a Bolton resi dent, former legislator and member o f the organization’s board, hopes the ease ments can be changed to permanently accommodate the camps. About 85 camps remain on the state land, 60 on the privately owned parcel land, and 70 on the federal property. “Deer season is as much a part o f Vermont as maple syrup,” M cLeod says. “The heart and soul o f deer season is deer camp. We don’t see any need to phase them out over the long term. Obviously, it’s not going to affect us in our lifetime. But it’s the [deer camp] cul ture that brings tears to a man’s eye. When you try to take that away from him, the question is: Why?”
■ ■ H he leaseholders o f former Cham pion land are no longer deal ing with one private, corporate owner. Now 26,000 acres — the federal portion that is part o f national wildlife refuge — is owned by all Americans, while the 22,000-acre wildlife state man agement area belongs to the people o f Vermont.

tures like lynx and pine marten depend on old-growth forests that are not fragmented by roads, development or clearcuts, he says. “We have an abundance o f young, recently cut-over forests in Vermont,” Northup says. “O ur public lands should be managed to provide what Vermont now lacks — older, intact, relatively wild forests for biodiversity and backcountry recreation.” The huge, forested expanse o f Essex County could also support wolves that may someday be reintroduced to the regions, says Andrew Whittaker, editor o f the Northern Forest Forum, a publication that covers environmental issues in the northeast woodlands. Whittaker — son o f Brendan Whittaker, the selectboard chair in Brunswick — says roadless “reserves” should be established on the state land so the area can recover from the years o f log ging. “We should be looking for as high a degree o f protection as we can. That means closing some roads that are not essential to recreation, and maintaining large core areas suitable . . . for some o f the larger predators were trying to restore,” he says. The easements on the state land emphasize wildlife habitat and protection o f key natural areas. Logging and public recreation is permitted, but must be con sistent with the overall goal o f “ecosystem integrity.” Forest and Parks Commissioner Conrad Motyka says he’s waiting for the results o f this summers inventory work before recommending what areas should be set aside for maximum protection. “We need the data to define that,” he says. But Andrew Whittaker says the state needs to do more than set aside small areas

Questions about what lands are set aside for wildlife and where people can go with new trails will be thrashed out in the year ahead. The states ability to enforce the rules — such as the ban on ATVs — will also be tested, says Wilhelm Merck o f Essex Timber Co., owner o f the 84,000-acre parcel. “A lot o f people are very concerned
about the states inability to enforce things,” he says. “Doing that over such a big area is a pretty major budget item. They need to do it right.” As messy as it sometimes seems, the public is at least allowed a voice in setting the future for the former Champion land. The same is not true for some o f the prop erty the company owned in neighboring New Hampshire. Champion sold the woods to International Paper, which has
set up a fee-based system o f backcountry use in which the public pays to gain access. “The nice part is, we’re in a position to worry about it,” says Carl Powden, forestry director o f the Vermont Land Trust — the private conservation organiza tion that helped put together the Champion deal. “We could all be on the outside looking in and wishing somebody stepped up to the plate and bought it before somebody locked the gates.” ®

“H
ey, Johnny Q, don’t worry about it. There’s always next
weekend.” The young man sitting beside me was attempting to console one o f his two friends in the back. It was a late Saturday night, and the three of them were returning — sans female being the apparent stick ing point for Johnny Q — to the townhouse they shared at St. Michael’s College. ‘‘Don’t ‘Johnny Q ’ me,” his friend shot back. “I haven’t had a date since last spring semester. You’re just rubbing it in bigtime.” I glanced up at the rear-view and saw Johnny’s seat mate give i him a shove. Then he began to address him in mock-serious | deadpa. >an. “Didja ever consider it | might be your personality, I Johnny? Because, know& ing you for three years, | I’m telling ya, there’s your likely stumbling block.” 1 Johnny smacked his | friend on the crown o f his head. The force o f the | blow fell within the realm I o f “just playing,” but not • by much. “Screw you, | Mikey,” he said. “I’m, wlike, for real here. What is 1 my friggin’ problem? | Wouldja please tell me?” I turned onto the | highway heading north. I always take the interstate * to St. Mike’s. For reasons | unclear to me, I’ve seen cabbies go via Winooski, but I | don’t think it’s a close call. I I considered the three young 1 men in my taxi, and smiled | inwardly. Hacking affords me the opportunity to spend a lot i o f time with younger folks, and | I carry a great fondness for my collegiate customers. I remem| ber, so m any... sigh... moons ago, when I, too, was young i and stupid. | They talk so much about sex, particularly the guys. In a I nutshell, this is their concern: | They really, really, really want to ** have sex. & Mikey relented on the ribI bing — maybe the head-whack ® had its desired effect — and J said, “Yo, don’t ask me, man. Why don’t you ask the stud, the 1 ‘Man-who-Can,’ our very own Ronster?” Johnny lightened up and | gave a chuckle. He leaned forg ward, plaintively placing his ® chin on the top o f the front
seat. It was a surprisingly touch ing gesture coming from such a pumped-up, aggressive college guT “Ronny,” he said earnestly. “Dude. You have hooked up — what? — like, every single weekend this semester. And each girl a total honey.” Ron looked at him and shrugged, almost apologetically. “School me, Ronny-san,” Johnny con tinued. “Take me under your wing. Be my Obi Wan Kenobi.” I glanced at Ron, and he back at me — sheepishly, if I read it correctly. I was taken aback by the guy’s apparent track record with women. This kid doesn’t look the part o f a ladies’ man, I thought. I mean, he wasn’t unpleasant-looking; he just appeared sort o f average, your typical healthy, easy-going, 20-year-old. Wherein lies his

apparent sexual magnetism? The only unusual aspect o f his pres entation was the off-white base ball cap, which sported an exceptionally long bill. “Look,” Ron said. “I’ve been telling you guys all year: I have no friggin’ idea. I’m the same slacker I was in our freshmen, sophomore and junior years. I, like, can’t explain my phenome nal run o f luck this year. Like I told you, it must be the hat; that’s my only explanation. I’ve been wearing it every time I hooked up.” Mikey burst out laughing. “Johnny Q , I told you about the hat, didn’t I? We’ve been rubbing that sucker every night before we go out. It’s all in the bill. It’s got some special pow ers. It’s strange and awesome, man! With that, Mikey reached forward and over Ron’s left shoulder, and gave the hat bill a few quick pats, like he was pet-
ting a Golden Retriever. Ron shooed him away, but I could tell he liked the minor legend that had grown around his sexual prowess and goodluck charm. And why shouldn’t he? For many people, the col lege years — the escapades, friendships, love affairs — turn out to be the high point o f life, the time they felt most free, alive and potent. Bruce Springsteen sings about the “glory days,” and my sentiment is, enjoy it while you can. I pulled the guys up to their living quarters, the “300” townhouses. Ron paid the fare, while in the back Mikey and Johnny Q continued to laugh and goof with each other. “You know what, boys?” I said, as I folded the money and placed it in my shirt pocket. “If the hat mojo gives you confi dence, stick with it. You can give a guy a jelly bean marked ‘Viagra,’ and if he truly believes it, sure enough, it’ll get him up and at it.” The guys quieted down, their attention momentarily piqued. “Just remember,” I added, donning my fatherly hat, “Use the powers wisely. Be respectful and genuine with every woman you’re . lucky enough to get with.” “Yeah, riiiight!” Mikey said, his sarcasm verging on disdain. Johnny Q, mean while, just rolled his eyes. The two o f them then got out, and I watched as they walked up to their townhouse. “Hey, man, I know what you mean.” I pivoted in my seat to face Ron. In the moment o f that discordant exchange with Mikey and Johnny Q, I had forgotten about him.

“Those guys are exaggerat ing about my success,” he said. I wanted to say, “What a sur prise,” but kept quiet. “The thing is,” he contin ued. “I have hooked up with two women this year, but it’s not just fun and games. I really like these girls, and I do appre ciate them. A lot. Both o f them, in different ways, have taught me something about myself. I don’t know if that makes any sense.” I said, “It makes a lot o f sense, Ron,” and smiled broad ly. “You know, I don’t think you really need that hat.” “Yeah, you’re right,” he said, returning the smile. “I guess I’ll give it to one o f the other guys.” (Z)

C R A TE E X P E C T A T IO N S Richard Erdm an packs a marble sculpture for shipping. lege, majoring in art seemed like “a natural place to go,” and his philosophy o f sculpting has remained essentially the same since: “ For me, the stone is so beautiful and alive, the less you do to it the better,” he says. Erdman explains that marble was literally alive, millennia ago — calcium carbonate, from seashells. “It was living, growing marine biology,” he marvels. “All the layers o f shells were ground
up over millions o f years; the beds became deeper and “cooked” and metamorphosed into what we now call marble. It’s a real subtle but important reason why great marble sculp tures are so ‘lively,’” he says. Since his post-college days, when he went to Carrara to study with master stonecutters, Erdman has split his time between that ancient, marbleminded town and Williston,
From one spot or the other, Erdman has diligently and pas sionately transformed some o f the Earths hardest materials into sculptures that look deceptively soft and light. Along the way, he has become a master himself. Though he’s a modest, friendly and down-to-earth guy, Erdman concedes that he’s proud of his achievements. His favorite response to his work? “Wow.” The enormous “Passage,” completed in 1985, was certainly a high point for Erdman, now 48. But that “ tour de force o f my career,” as he calls it, was by no means his only one. Just this summer his bronze sculpture, “Continuum ,” was installed in Saudi Arabia’s first skyscraper —

The sense o f move ment conveyed is really quite remarkable, like the continuous — and continuously soothing — undulation o f waves. Similarly noteworthy are Erdmans two smaller marble sculptures commissioned by the EastWest Institute in 1999.

One worldly guest paid him the universal compliment: “I like that and would have it in my house,” he-said, more or less, in broken English.

posted, with ample photos, at www.richard-erdman.com — is a job in itself. And although there’s scant market back home for his pricey work — $5000 to $40,000 for gallery pieces — Erdman remains loyal to the Green Mountain State, occasion ally showing at, say, the Southern Vermont Arts Center
in Manchester or the Robert Paul Gallery in Stowe. “I still get asked, and I try to participate in a few,” he says o f the local shows. “Its sort o f a payback.” He donated “Finestra C ut,” which resides in a lobby window at U V M ’s Fleming Museum, in gratitude to his alm a mater. Erdman is equally generous in his debt to the Italians, who taught him not just technique, but “the cadence o f life,” he says. “In Carrara, everything is stone, life revolves around it, as it has for 2000 years. When I went to Italy as a young student, I was anxious and energetic, and they told me, ‘p iano, piano’— slow down. You have to work that into your mentality. “You think, ‘I can only do 10 large pieces a year, maybe 100 or so in a lifetime,” Erdman contin ues. “So you have to really slow down, pay attention to the stone, an d... bring out what you think is best. Stone,” he muses, “is a slow, long-term life.” ®

ts hard to mistake a work by Phoebe Stone. The Middlebury artist and creator o f three picture books— When the Wind Bears Go Dancing, What N ight Do the Angels Wander? and Go Away, Shelley Boo!— has a distinctive style: enchanted landscapes populated with quirky figures rendered in vibrant colors and exuberant compositions. Archetypal images like flowers and moons cheerfully float among more mundane objects. Translate this approach into fiction and you get Stone’s latest novel — A ll the Blue Moons a t the Wallace Hotel — for 9- to 11-year-old readers. Though the medium this time isn’t pictures but prose, all the essential Stone elements are here: highly atmospheric settings, iconoclastic characters, plentiful symbolism and an unabashedly optimistic outlook. Though Blue Moons is stuffed with nostalgic props from the author’s own childhood days — Huckleberry Hound and Mickey Mouse Club lunch boxes, T V dinners, Jack Kennedy smiling on the cover o f L ife magazine — the book recalls the fiction o f an earlier era, such as that o f Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess, or Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. Both are stories in which children with aristocratic lineage are orphaned and fall on hard times, but eventually regain their proper positions in the social order. As Blue Moons opens, 11 year-old Fiona Hopper, the book’s first-person narrator, is trudging home from school with her sister, Wallace. The road is steep and muddy and pitted with potholes, and Fiona remembers how last spring she used a picture o f it in a science project entitled
I
“Erosion. It’s All Around Us.” Though she may not realize it, Fiona is talking about more than just a road. As the sisters’ story emerges, the reader learns that for the last four years — ever since they were struck by an unspoken tragedy — the girls and their mother have been wearing away under the oppressive weight o f physical and psychic neglect. The huge, once-grand mansion they call ? home is cold, empty and in terri ble disrepair. Mom, a sculptor, has abandoned her art and all but abandoned her daughters, who are basically left to rattle around the cavernous house and fend for themselves. Fiona combats her fate by doing everything in her power to hide the secret that sets her apart from her peers. She also aspires to be a ballerina, like her grand mother before her. And although the family can no longer afford to give her ballet lessons, she practices every day in hand-medown shoes at an improvised barre in the mansion’s abandoned ballroom. Wallace, who’s younger and more emotionally vulnerable, doesn’t have a specific goal in mind for herself. She’s simply desperate to become someone other than the person she is now. She builds a house for a nonex istent dog, spends hours dream ing up new names for herself and creates odd culinary concoctions, such as grape-and-cucumber-jelly sandwiches. For more than half the book, the family is seemingly frozen in time, unable to face, let alone overcome, their despair. Fiona longs to join her best friend, Nell, at a dance school run by the glamorous Miss Carmen Estrellada, a Cuban exile nursing her own tragic past. Wallace exhibits increasing signs o f
depression. Mom occasionally emerges from her quarters sip ping Earl Grey tea. Halloween comes. And bit by bit, as Fiona cautiously allows herself to remember the past, the reader slowly uncovers the details surrounding the traumatic inci dent in this family’s life. Finally, just as Fiona is on the verge o f securing the role she covets in Miss Estrellada’s Christmas recital, Wallace disap pears in a snow storm. The story suddenly lurches into high gear as Fiona sets aside her own ambi tions and plunges into the bliz zard to look for her sister. But the search for Wallace turns up more than just the missing child. It also allows Fiona to finally admit to herself — and the read er — the full truth o f what has happened: Her father has been murdered. Once the truth is out, every thing turns out fine. Better than fine, in fact, as Fiona and the rest o f her family break through the grips o f their grief and regain their rightful positions in the world. Blue Moons has a lot going for it. It’s hard not to love the fragile but determined Wallace, with her slightly skewed outlook. And Kip, the loyal boy next door who lives in a trailer with his father and dreams o f running a grand hotel, is the best best friend any one could ever wish to have. Stone’s eye for evocative images is unwavering. A silver-leafed poplar moving in the wind seems to have “thousands o f dimes pouring through its branches.” One o f Fiona’s mother’s aban doned statues lies dejectedly in the grass, raspberry vines growing over its shoulders and rust stains on its cheeks.

Des; ite these assets, Blue Moons isn’t for every child. With its laborious, legato opening, its all-too-brief chase scene and its grand crescendo climax, the plot’s pacing will try some read ers’ patience. Curiously, while most o f the story is told in the ■ present tense, the text occasional ly and mysteriously shifts into past tense as the narrator back tracks to describe events which took place just minutes before the “real time” o f the story. Some o f the hinges on which the book’s plot are hung are also
the story centers on a killing, the murderer is never called bad — only “crazy.” And he makes just one brief cameo appearance. With just a couple o f other very mild exceptions, Blue Moons doesn’t contain a single interper sonal conflict. Fiona never gets angry at her emotionally absent mother or her attention-grabbing sister. Friends never bicker. And beneath their mildly gruff exteri ors, police officers and school principals turn out to be as benign as stuffed bears. The only real villain in this story is sorrow itself. Throughout the book, the blue moon in the title refers to the mournful

problematic. Much o f Fiona’s $ internal struggle, for example, centers on her effort to hide her family history, and her address, from her peers. But the incident is legendary in town, and quite a few characters realize that it’s Fiona’s story. Is it really plausible that the folks in this small town wouldn’t have filled each other in on the gossip? Come to think o f it, given the unmitigated goodness o f Blue Moons characters, maybe this is plausible. Though the heart o f

Too sweet and pat? For some, perhaps. But it’s not a bad lesson. ®

History A new Vermont-made board game makes the bored more game
B y N ancy S tearns B ercaw ane Austen said history turns out too many “good for noth ing” men. Leonard Cohen called it “a needle for putting men asleep.” James Joyce wrote that it was a nightmare from which he was trying to awaken.
J
History — mention the word at a social gathering and watch what happens. It can be a mood killer, a party pooper, a wet blan ket. Almost everyone seems to have an opinion on the subject, even if they’re bored to tears by facts. A five-sister family with roots in Warren has a different view of
the past. Since 1996 Mary, Monica, Patricia, Line and Rebecca Cahilly — a.k.a. Mamopalire, Inc. — have made it their business to make fun of facts. Their first board game, “Bethump’d with Words,” touted “an intriguing, fun-filled journey into the story o f English,” and earned a place in the Chicago Tribunes Top Ten game list. The name o f the game is derived from a line in Shakespeare’s King John, “I was never so bethump’d with words since I first call’d my brother’s father dad.” Essentially, it means being overwhelmed, perplexed and bombarded — apropos for a game about the ori gin of words. (Is that entomolo gy, etiology or etymology?) The Cahilly family’s latest educational adventure, “Bethump’d with History,” plays
Rebecca Cahilly, the youngest daughter o f Glenn and Mary Cahilly and spokesperson for Mamopalire, blames our histori cal confusion on a number o f factors, including television, video games and the lackluster way history is depicted. “There seems to be less interest in voting and what the Constitution is all about...w hat it guarantees us,” Rebecca exclaims. “We tried to take it as an example o f a docu ment that works — for all its faults. People still stand by it. “But the questions also look beyond where we’ve come from to where we need to go,” she adds. “Aren’t we all trying to make a better world?” The Cahillys chalk up the Bethump’d with History concept to their ageless idealism, and they see a “mini mom-revolution”
up the “civilizers o f civilizations, the men and women who fought against the worst o f humanity and strove to make a better world.” Designed to build appre ciation for American democracy and the significance o f the U.S. Constitution, players test their knowledge by answering ques tions from such categories as Equal Rights, Controlling Tyranny, History’s Crazy Events and Symbols o f Freedom. By cor rectly responding to these not-sotrivial pursuits and thereby thwarting tyranny, players pro ceed toward Utopia. Some might call it politically correct, but “Bethump’d” has the potential to turn even the most post-modern nincompoops into history buffs. By any means nec essary, right, Dr. King? (Or was that Malcolm X?)

against “vidiot” games that have made their children lethargic and uncommunicative. Parents, they say, “are looking for activities that slow the pace down,” purports Rebecca, who has a degree in international business and worked for human rights as an intern with the United Nations. “Board games bring you back to the fam ily and conversations. According to Playthings M agazine, sales o f board games and puzzles are up by 40 percent, whereas electronic games have dropped.” The whole “Bethum pd” con cept was D ad’s big idea, Rebecca explains. It was born out o f a conversation he had with a bio chemistry colleague in western New York about whether English should become the legally man dated national language o f the United States. The idea sparked Glenn Cahillys interest, and he began scribbling intriguing words on pieces o f paper and stuffing them in his shirt pockets. He soon discovered that you can’t say English is a “national” language when in fact it has liberally bor rowed from other languages. When he started turning his word collection into literary questions, the daughters grew concerned about their newly retired father’s sanity. He had also just relocated to Vermont. And the rest is, well, history. Mary, in northern Virgnia, was instrumental in getting “Bethump’d with Words” oft the ground. She later engaged the gang’s 11 nieces and nephews to help with a junior version.

Monica — a Vermont-based pharmaceutical consultant and former high school educator — worked on getting the games out to schools. Patricia, a New Jersey interior designer, created the Q trade-show booths and got her sisters to dress up in Renaissance costumes, like ones in the draw ings on the game board. Linda, a copy editor in Warren, proofed the game profusely. Their mother handles accounting “Bethump’d with History” is an offspring — or offshoot — of “Bethump’d with Words.” When the five daughters were brain storming which people should be depicted on the original game board — those who had con tributed to the growth o f the English language — they couldn’t find many women or minorities. “We got really fired up about it,” recalls Rebecca. “We thought, maybe we’ll throw in authors, or Gloria Steinem.” Only one woman made the board — Queen Elizabeth I, for pioneering the globalization of English — but the Cahillys hope she inspires conversation and reminds players just how far our culture has come. The estrogen shortage also left these sisters hungry for the untold stories and unheard voices in history. So after a year o f poring over reference books, as well as the information super-highway, for proof o f the past, the family produced their humane game, “Bethump’d with History.” In it are 800 questions about American ways and means. Basically, anywhere from two

must be getting old. I need one pair of glasses for driving and another for reading. Where was I? Right, I forget things, too. Also, I find an ever greater percentage of TV programs entertaining and wellmade. Which, I’m fairly sure, is one of the early warning signs of senility. Or maybe it’s a sign there’s been a changing of the guard in the broadcast industry over the past few years, with a new generation of writers, producers and performers infusing the medium with improved level of smarts and piz zazz. I’ve been sampling the fall offerings and am both pleased and flabbergasted to report that even the least significant of the bunch are way more fun to watch than most of what’s been on T V most of my life. Here’s a rundown, in order of increasing must-see value:
the week it hit the airwaves. Successful lawyer on the fast track finds out his wife slept with the mailman, so returns to his home town and purchases a bowling alley. Every now and then he leaves the pins behind long enough to defend a colorful character. “Northern Exposure” minus the moose. And the originality.
“Ed” The Peacock thought it had a winner with this ode to small-town kookiness, but, despite all the hype its PR department could muster, viewership began nosediving from
“ Cursed” This NBC sitcom stars the other guy from “Wings,” Steven Weber, and may wind up far funnier than the season opener suggested. Based on the first episode, though, the
I
“The Fugitive” For a story about a guy who’s trying to hide, this one sure is hard to escape. First the original series, then the movie, now this. Which might have been OK if the creators of the new series had brought a fresher vision to the project. As it is, the CBS update is an occasionally diverting but seldom more than ser viceable excuse for Tim Daly to see the country. Bland on the run.
premise appears more entertaining in theory than execution. Weber finds himself on the business end of a good, old-fashioned curse when he breaks up with a gabby Greek gal and each week brings a new batch of black-magic headaches. No doubt the fact that James Burrows directs and Chris Elliot costars — and that the network has given the show a fool-proof Thursday-night slot — will prove blessings. “Yes, Dear” The Eye’s latest addition to its “King of Queens” and “Everyone Loves Raymond” Monday-night comedy empire is an agreeably goof-ball look at the lives of two young couples bringing up babies. Edgier and a tad loopier than the hits between which it’s sandwiched, the show is wall-to-wall with faces you know you’ve seen but can’t quite place. Funny enough to keep anyone who’s ever changed a diaper from changing the channel. “The Michael Richards Show” Kramer as a clueless detective.
That’s all you need to know about this one. He’s better-dressed here than he was on “Seinfeld,” and he buys his own groceries. Nonethe less, Richards is as oblivious and spastically endearing as ever. A shameless attempt to milk a beloved television presence for cheap and slightly surreal laughs. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. “The Geena Davis Show” The actress makes the leap to the little screen with this so-so series chronicling the domestic misadven tures of a young woman engaged to a hunky widower — played by Peter Horton from “Twentysome thing” — with three kids. Genial, generic family-based mini-laughs. The writing could use more edge, but Geena couldn’t be keena. “Deadline” Doctors, cops and lawyers have all the prime-time fun. It’s about time somebody invited newspaper people to the party. From “Law and Order” creator Dick Wolf comes this agreeably amped-up and
romanticized take on the big-city daily milieu. Oliver Platt finally gets a crack at carrying a project and plays the paper’s star reporter. With talent like Platt, Bebe Neuwirth and Tom Conti on the masthead, it should come as news to no one this has hit written all over it. “ Bette” While not nearly as divine as its pre-season buzz suggested, this is a smarter-than-average family sitcom“Seinfeld” hybrid. Just as Jerry did, Midler plays a scaled-down version of her real-life self. The format allows her to divide her time be tween traditional around-the-house snafus and sassier showbiz-related imbroglios, the show’s strength. The series could use a little backup for its star in the way of distinctive sec ondary characters. If any performer can carry a comedy about a selfobsessed spotlight hog on her shoul ders, though, it’s Midler. Thirty minutes with her on TV turns out to be more fun than whole decades at the movies.

“Welcome to New York” Way back when, we had lots of laughs at the expense of country folk who tried to fit in in the city (“The Beverly Hillbillies”) and city folk who went back to the land (“Green Acres”), so its a wonder it took so long for someone to revive the formula. Christine Baranski makes a deliciously malicious TVproducer foil for Jim Gaffigan’s befuddled bumpkin of a weather man, who’s just arrived in the Big Apple from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Worth watching just for Baranski’s barbs and zingers, such as, “People in New York don’t wear brown. They wear black. And only until some• thing darker comes along.” It’ll be some time before another comedy with dialogue this razor-sharp | comes along.
quotes Homer. And I don’t mean Simpson. So imagine my surprise when I found myself clinically addicted. ' ,,, “Boston Public” David E. Kelley’s latest airs Mondays on Fox. You’ll have to miss “The King of Queens” every now and then to attend, but the show* is well worth that heavy price. Set in a public school, the ensemble series features unusually vibrant writing and a wacky, exceptionally
this is a show from which every producer and network executive should take a lesson. “Crib” And last but not least — unless you’re referring to its budget — my favorite new show of the season. “Crib” is the latest from Mtv’s demented but reliably visionary programming unit. The idea could n’t be simpler: Go to a rock or rap star’s home with a camera and hang around until he or she kicks you out. The result couldn’t be more endlessly entertaining, for no logical rea son I can think of, except how often do you get to see what Ozzie Osbourne has in the refrigera tor? Think that sounds a wee bit off? A smidge outre? That’s nothing, I assure you, compared with the full-bore weirdness of a number of fringier shows I came across in the course of viewing fall’s new offerings. Next month’s column will catalogue this nutty subset — the kookiest new things on televi sion. Tune in. ®

“Gideon’s Crossing” Out with “Chicago Hope,” in with this new ABC hospital drama from the guy who gave us Schindler’s List. Well, who wrote it, anyway. The d' ctors are improba bly noble, the stories are just plain improbable, and the prose is posi tively purple. This is the sort of show in which a hospital janitor

Records, CD) — On his latest and 17th album, Covenant, Greg Brown delivers a concise collec tion of troubling and comforting tunes, demonstrating once again why the Iowa singersongwriter is a Grammy nominee and favorite on NPR’s “Prairie Home Companion.” From “I guess nobody’s lonely anymore/’cept you and me, babe” to “Things may not get better but we can always stall,” the record moves through a short spectrum of emotions — the rudiments of love and relationships — but with an effec tive sounding of depths. Book-ended by the two strongest songs on the record, “’Cept you & Me Babe” and “Pretty One More Time,” Covenant pins down a mel low, weary, melancholy state of mind with a musical version of a hand on the shoulder, a knowing shake of the head and a slow sip of scotch. This collections mainly about the songs, with tasteful but not overly complicated musi cianship or accompaniment. Bo Ramsey, a long-time Brown collaborator, lays down some nice electric guitar and also serves as producer. Rounding out the mix are flashes of bass, key boards, pedal steel and drums, though Covenant is a pretty stripped-down affair overall. “Rexroth’s Daughter” has a really nice “Friend o f the Devil” (Grateful Dead) bounce to it, a continuing search for the elusive. “Lullaby” takes a sly approacb.;to late-night affection,-winking at the close with “you can
wake me anytime/oh babe I ain’t that sleepy.” There’s a good balance on these tracks between vulnerability and a sort of self-inflicted, tor tured longing, and stylistically most of the songs fall into the Greg Brown comfort zone, mixing folk, blues and country. Sometimes he rocks out, as in “Dream City,” and Brown even ventures once into a sort of rap on the amusing bonus track, “Marriage Chant.” This is kind of fun, but fairly superfluous material, especially given how perfect “Pretty One More Time” feels as a closing song. Throughout Covenant there is, of course, Brown’s rich baritone voice — as smoky and gruff as it is smooth and soothing. It’s a bit like Tom Waits without so much phlegm. This col lection of tunes doesn’t really challenge the lis tener, but it’s an easy and engaging listen, both comforting and mildly troubling, like a Saturday-afternoon whiskey buzz. Covenant offers high returns for minimal effort, and is highly recommended. Brown will be on hiatus for a year or so soon after his shows this Sunday and Monday for the After Dark Music Series at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury. An accompanying free screening of Jeffrey Ruoff’s 1993 documentary, Hacklebarney Tunes: The Music o f Greg Brown, is a great introduction to this American living leg end — Sunday, 3 p.m. at Middlebury College’s Twilight Hall. —

CD) — Local singer-songwriter Tim Pollock’s recent CD, M ilk & Honey, is 100 percent origi nal material. The recording contains an inter esting mix of styles — Christian folk-rock (“If You Truly Love Him,” “Foot in the Door,” “Lead Me Home, Lord”), a couple cuts that sound like the early-Neil-Young-school-of-highwavers (especially “Come Back”), some Dylanesque harmonica work on “Jammin at the U H C ” (that’s University Heath Center, for you out-of-towners). And, to bring up Neil Young again, “Anywhere But There For You” sounds so much like “Down By the River” that it was

hard to hear the actual words. So much for the “sounds like” game. Now for the good stuff. The writing is catchy. Pollock revels in unself-consciously weird rhyme lines — in one song he rhymes “cost” with “off” and “rest” with “wet” — and at his best uses his jangly voice to accent the lyrics in ways that makes them stick. There’s a lot of positive musical energy here, especially when the artist gets away from ornamenting his tunes with familiar harmonic or rhythmic licks. The best work on the CD can be found on the last two selections: One of them is “Every Little Bit Helps,” where Pollock lays it out with just guitar backup and a simple harmony accompaniment by Karen McFeeters — this one was recorded live at the Burlington Coffeehouse. Finally, there’s a ghost track not mentioned on the liner notes with a similarly unadorned arrangement. Both these selections ahow you to sit back and experience the mood Pollock creates, without having to navigate through “production.” My guess is that this singer-songwriter has many more songs up his sleeve just waiting to be recorded. I’m looking forward to the next collection.

In recent years, the role of the judge has become an increasingly powerful and controversial one. And we’re not just talking about Judge Judy, either. As American courts have addressed hot-button issues like abortion, civil unions and other widely debated public policy ques tions, some have criticized the “judicializing” of politics in the name of liber alism. Author and scholar Paul Carrese holds court at a lecture on the trend, then invites audience members to come forth with their own verdicts. Wednesday, November 8.

transferred elements j have been layered into obscurity as a translu- \ cent woman in a long i yellow dress ascends from the scene toward the upper right corner ! o f the piece, and through a background o f indigo and purple. Like “Jacob Wrestles,” “Lot Tries to Hurry His Wife” is a small painting with a Biblical theme. It too is rich with trans fers and varied layers o f chromatic intensity. Robinson captures the moment between Lot’s wife becoming a pillar o f salt and his realization o f it. The two figures are in a moody landscape on the eve o f destruction, as indicated by dark tones, but again there are gentler colors that convert it from a vision o f horror into a mira cle. Robinson built Lot’s wife with pale, grainy textures, and the figures are small in relation to the trans forming landscape. “Sisters” is a large, vertical acrylic-onpanel piece with very confident brushwork and more traditional paint handling. The scale o f Robinson’s fig ures within their envi ronment is also differ ent than in several o f the other pieces. In “Sisters” they are wil lowy yet monumental, standing tall in the steep and earthy fore ground. The space is less abstract than most o f the pieces in the show as well. Robinson is known for her whimsical, figurative ceramic whistles o f painted earthenware, and seven o f these are on display. One o f them, “Risking All For Freedom,” is a large boat crowded with dozens o f colorful emigres. Robinson’s ceramic figures reflect much o f the character o f the figures in her paintings, but the latter fea ture a broader range o f emo tions and are far more subtle narratives. The paintings in the show are the main event here. This is a substantial collec tion o f works by a uniquely inspired artist whose technical skill is as refined as her vision. ®

he Biblical story o f Jacob wrestling with an angel is one o f the Old Testaments more myste rious parables. Jacob refused to let an angel slip from his grasp until it blessed him, while all night long the angel refused his entreaties, instead recounting Jacob’s sins. Its a strug gle that many artists have attempted to illus trate — including Montpelier artist Delia Robinson. “J ac°b Wrestles with the Angel” is the title o f one o f her 21 paint ings on display this month at Stowes Helen Day Art Center. Like the tale itself, Robinsons works are evocative and multi layered. She’s an inventive figurative painter, but also a visual storyteller whose language is clear yet technically complex. In Robinson’s “Jacob Wrestles with the Angel,” the two opposing figures are loosely painted and, like the Chagall litho graph o f the same theme, an ethereal quality makes the image into a dance as well as a spiritual quarrel. The angel’s great white wings are flecked with gold, and a range of cool colors works to mitigate the violence. In “The Abduction” Robinson Sisters,” by Delia Robinson reinterprets another theme common in art o f the Xerox machine in the history. A shadowy rider on a 1960s, artists began to experi large chestnut horse carries off a ment with methods o f lifting bride through a tenebrous space images from copied sources. divided into black and green.

I love Robert Redford. I love many o f the movies in which he’s acted and I love many o f the movies he’s directed. Some o f the best films made in my lifetime have been Robert Redford films one way or the other, but to be honest, I have this to say about the Sundance founder’s latest: If he wanted to sell baloney so badly, he should’ve just opened a deli. The Legend o f Bagger Vance
was intended more or less as a golf correlative to Barry Levinson’s maligned but immortal base ball mythfest, The Natural. If that’s what Redford was in the mood for, good for him, Who better for the job? He starred in The N a tu ra l after all, and he’s spent more time in early 20th-century America than anyone this side o f a Willard Scott birthday greeting. Between The Natural, The
son the studio played around with one potential release date after another before settling on last Friday. On the surface, the picture has the look o f a solid fall release. It’s adapted from a respected book. Its tone is vari ously thoughtful, somber and light. It’s a period piece. It’s art fully shot. And it’s Deep. M att Damon plays a Southern golf wunderkind who goes off to W W I, sees everybody else in his unit blown up and slinks back home to get drunk for a decade or so. When his old flame, played by Charlize
bits o f Zen nonsense in his ear every time he slices one into the woods. The second half o f the pic ture consists pretty much o f the match, and it’s gripping in a thoroughly routine, underdogplays-in-the-big-game way. You know, the way the last half of Rem ember the Titans was. Hell, the same way the last half o f The Replacements was. The tourna ment is dramatic and the golf legends are colorfully portrayed, but — let’s be honest — that’s a pretty flimsy hook on which to hang material this heavy. Aside from the game’s out come, though, there’s not a whole lot to hang around for. Damon’s war experience and subsequent disappearance into the bottle are dashed off in movie short hand. His rela tionship with Theron is, if anything, even sketchier in its presentation and, as I mentioned, the mystical wis dom portion o f the show is a joke. Chevy Chase’s “Be the ball” in Caddyshack made more sense. I haven’t heard so much chuckle headed cosmic doubletalk since the last time I listened to a Cat Stevens record. So, a triple bogie for Redford this round. Bagger Vance is a treat for the eyes, but the heart and brain get shortchanged big-time. The film is as sumptuous and visually inviting as a champi onship course — but just as full o f holes. (7)

Sting, The Great Gatsby, The Great Waldo Pepper, O u t o f Africa and A River Runs Through It, the
filmmaker has spent the better part o f his career roughly between the turn o f the century and World War II. This might not have been a movie that was crying out to be made, but if anyone was going to make it, and make something special out o f it, Redford was the director to take a swing at it. Too bad he was off his game. Way off. That’s probably the rea
Theron, decides to promote her recently deceased father’s justcompleted golf course, she invites the two greatest players in the world to come take part in an exhibition tournament, and the townsfolk talk Damon into com ing out o f retirement to take on the dynamic duo. His game’s a little rusty. Ten years o f playing poker all night and knocking back the bourbon will do that to you. But out o f nowhere appears Will Smith as a combo mystical caddie/angel o f death, and he helps Damon get both his game and his life back on track simply by whispering
RED PLANET Evidently director Anthony Hoffman was among the millions of people who took a pass on Brian De Palma’s failed Mission to Mars last year, because he seems to have gone to a lot of trouble just to make a film with the very same storyline: American astronauts journey to the red planet and strand some of their crew on the surface, where weird stuff happens. Val Kilmer and Benjamin Bratt star. (PG-13) LITTLE NICKY The devil has made it big in the movies over the past few years, and now it’s time for his spawn to get into the act. Adam Sandler plays a self-effacing son of Satan just trying to fit in above ground. Patricia Arquette and Harvey Keitel costar. Steven Brill directs. (PG-13) BILLY ELLIOT Jamie Bell and Julie Walters star in the saga of a talented young dancer torn between the expec tations of his working-class family and his deep love of performing. Stephen Daldry directs. (R) MEN OF HONOR Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. join forces for this fact-based military drama about the first African-American Navy deep-sea diver. With Charlize Theron. (R) KADOSH From director Amos Gitai comes this powerful portrait of life within Jerusalem’s most insular neigh borhood where two sisters find their futures shaped by strict rabbinical pro scriptions.

Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand star. (R)

John Travolta, Lisa Kudrow and Chris Kattan star. (R) THE BALLAD OF RAMBLIN’ JACK (NR) Arlo Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson and others take part in this compelling documen tary portrait of folk icon Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Directed by his daughter, Aiyana Elliott. (NR) TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (NR) Robert Mulligan’s 1962 adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel tells the timeless story of a young girl growing up in a small Southern town, and earned Gregory Peck a Best Actor Oscar for his por trait of her father, a soft-spoken attor ney with a powerful sense of justice. (NR) CHARLIE’S ANGELS*** Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu get togeth er for this skimpy-on-the-costumes, heavy-on-the-effects adaptation of the vintage TV series. Don’t worry, Bill Murray is fully clothed. (PG-13) BAMBOOZLED*** Damon Wayans, Savion Glover and Michael Rapaport star in the new film from Spike Lee, a comedy set behind the scenes of a black television show where all the writers are white. (R) BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2** The bad news is, this is just the first of at least two sequels on the way fol lowing the inexplicable success of the silly, unsatisfying original. The good news is, virtually no one involved in the making of that movie had anything to do with this one, so, technically there’s a chance it won’t blow.

out, was a slick nine-minute video promoting WVNY s local news operation. Incidentally, the November sweeps started last Thursday. What a coincidence, eh? Obviously, Ch. 22 is fighting to boost its share, and the video giveaway is intended to do just that. Ch. 22s local news compo nent has been up and running for a little over a year. You’ve got to give them credit for trying. But, according to the Nielsen ratings so far, Ch. 22 s local news is the least popular in the market. In fact, they’d have more viewers at the dinner hour if they went back to “M *A *S*H ” reruns. According to Larry Delia, Ch. 22’s station manager, the idea for the free videos was locally gener ated. They asked the question, Larry told Seven Days, “What other ways are there to sell TV?” Cute. Mr. Delia said that overall, the stations viewership share “has gone up 50 percent in the last year” — that includes everything, not the least of which is the “Who Want to Be a Millionaire?” phenomenon. But Delia acknowl edged the station’s local news operation, led by anchorman Eric Greene, has a ways to go. “Our news ratings,” said Delia, “obviously need to go up. It’s a long haul,” he said, “and people don’t change news habits overnight.” Delia declined to tell us just how many free promotional videos went out with Saturday’s Freeps. He said he doesn’t want to divulge his station’s marketing strategy. He would only say “many thousands” were distrib uted. But sources tell Seven Days the Ch. 22 videos went out to 95 percent of the newspaper’s Chittenden County subscribers. That’s around 22,800. Mr. Delia told us the poor Free Press deliv ery folks did receive “extra com pensation” for the heavy lifting involved in transporting the Ch. 22 cassettes. People certainly noticed. It’s not every morning one wakes up to a video on the porch. Perhaps it’s the coming trend. But one Freeps subscriber was none too happy with the Saturday morning surprise. He contacted Seven Days to voice his complaint. Burlington attorney and vet eran political prognosticator. Sam P re ss described how, “Saturdays Freeps arrived with more trash than usual.” Mr. Press told us he “held his stomach” as he watched the “short puff piece bragging about how great their news is and using the word ‘community’ ad nauseam.” Mr. Press (great name for a media critic) noted, “The cassette is unsolicited, unrecyclable and had no instructions about how to get it back to Ch. 22. Like Laura Palmer, it was wrapped in plastic. Thousands of copies,” said Press, “will end up in the landfill.” Could Ch. 22, he asked, be any more “out of touch” with the environmental consciousness of folks in their audience?
Good point, Sam. And the one.jthing it lacked , mo|t|qf%|.was a Vermonf feel? | ' The prpmo was apt for Apy-r where, USA. Pretty schlocky, real ly. Anchorman Greene — picked up by Ch. 22 after a little overthe-top humor in the Cleveland, Ohio, market sank his rising star — comes on as Mr. High Energy. But he comes off like an actor playing an actor playing a TV anchorman. So what’s next for “selling” TV news? Rumor has it Ch. 22 is plan ning to update last Saturdays video distribution just before Christmas, with an X-rated ver sion of the “News You Can Use” personalities frolicking on the set. Sort of a media stocking-stuffer. Word is that weatherman Randy M ann is the big star. Sources say a hairy actor of the same name developed a “randy” following in the Bay Area porn circuit in the late ’70s. Just kidding. And likewise, there’s no truth to the rumor that WCAX-TV, the only locally owned and operated TV news station, already has selfpromotional videos in the can featuring reporter Anson TebbettS milking cows and clean ing his barn, and Sharon M eyer’s personal tips for the care and r feeding of house pets. • Over at WCAX-TV, producer/reporter Brian Byrnes is off to see the world! Brian told Seven Days he’s wrapping up two years aj Ch. 3 on Friday and is heading “overseas.” South America and Asia are in his sights. “I definitely want to stay in the journalism game,” said . - r Byrnes. To his credit, Mr. Byrnes gave Ch. 3 a new dimension with his coverage of the local arts beat. And six months ago he brought live local music to the morning news with the “Morning Music Showcase” Fridays at 7 a.m.. Word is, morning anchor Jlidy Sim pson will keep the music playing for a stretch. • The reviews are in, and we’re hearing nothing but very positive feedback on Vermont Public Television’s one-hour documen tary on the roots of Howard Dean, Ruth Dwyer and Anthony Pollina. Ho-Ho and Ruthless Ruth were pretty uptight about letting their immediate family members be interviewed. Neither of their moms or spouses would talk. (Though Dr. Dean’s wife, Dr. Judy Steinberg, finally broke the ice and appeared in one of her hubbies TV commercials — play ing a doctor, no less!). But Tony the Prog flung open the door on a family he’s obviously very proud of. Wife, daughters, brothers and, best of all, Mitzi, his mom. She was positively a gem, and the old Super-8 clips of the big ItalianAmerican family gatherings back in New Jersey were a treat. According to all our sources at Vermont Public Television, credit for a job well done goes to pro ducer Catherine H ughes of Charlotte. Bravo! And the excel lent narrator’s voice belongs to Ken Schreiner, news director at Ch. 22. Cool. ® E-mail Peter at lnside Track Vt@aol. com

w w w .g a r d e n e r s .c o m
response on the subject o f whether fish fart: “They do if they’re male.” Fish flatulence has not been a major focus o f biologi cal research, so the following is somewhat tentative. To some extent the answer depends on how you define fart. Many fish have a swim bladder that they inflate or deflate as necessary to maintain buoyancy. Usually any expelled gas exits from the mouth and would properly be considered a burp. However, the sand tiger shark, Carcharias taurus, gulps air into its stomach at the sur face, then discharges it out the back door to attain the desired depth. Surely this qualifies as flatulence in the common sense o f the term. But purists may object that this isn’t true farting — that is, a by-product o f digestion. We then get into a somewhat speculative realm. In theory any animal’s metabolism produces carbon dioxide, while bacteria in the gut produce methane. Both must be purged lest the fish lose the ability to control its buoyancy. Carbon dioxide is typically eliminated via gas transport to the gills, but methane has to escape some other way. However, actual sightings o f farting fish are rare — and let’s face it, this isn’t a phenomenon that could be easily concealed under water. Some experts say digestive gases are consolidated somehow with the fish’s feces, which are packed into a gelatinous tube and then expelled. (Frequently the fish then eats this — not for nothing is the study o f fish called ichthyology.) The point is, no farts. Some fish observers claim they see a telltale bubble or two escape from the stern o f a fish after it has gulped air at the surface (I have heard this said o f tarpon). But again, this is not strictly a product o f digestion. On the Web I have seen the claim that inasmuch as coral is made o f calcium carbonate, which when combined with stomach acid produces carbon dioxide, coral-eating fish ought to produce farts in abundance. If true, it seems to me, the critters in the vicinity o f a typical coral reef
should emit forests o f bubbles unequaled since the days o f Lawrence Welk — not the impression one usually gets. Then again, few visit reefs specifically for the pur pose o f detecting fish farts. In short, Alan, much research remains to be done. Maybe you could organize an expedition and let us know. D ear Cecil, In yo u r discussion o f angels dancing on the head o f a p in in The Straight Dope Tells All, page 133, you write, “M artinUs Scriblerus ... is a pseudonym o f a sort in com mon use am ong E nlightenm ent satirists. ” This is a little misleading: I t’s the nam e o f a fic tio n a l author invented by Alexander Pope, John A rbuthnot, Jonathan Swift, John Gay a n d Thomas Parnell, founders o f the Scriblerus Club a n d co-authors 0/ T h e Memoirs o f Martinus Scriblerus. Haven't got a copy o f this handy to see i f the passage indeed turns up in chapter seven, b u t we’ll leave th a t to you. — N ate a n d Jane D orw ard Willowdale, Ontario, Canada
Told you my 18th-century files were a mess. I have, however, located the indicated volume, said to be the origin o f the satirical claim that Scholastic philosopher Thomas Aquinas once debated how many angels could dance on the head o f a pin. Turning to chapter seven, we see that Pope and his fellow smart alecks indeed poke fun at some o f Aquinas’ more esoteric speculations. However, the question o f how many angels can dance on the head o f a pin is not among them. Thus, while we know that Aquinas did argue whether several angels can be at the same time in the same place (solemn conclu sion: no), we still aren’t sure who gave the discussion its modern comical twist. Alan, when you get to the bottom o f fish farts, see what you can do with this.

Q uentin
RAY: Yeah, I think they solved the “doors-spontaneously-flying-open” problem some time ago. It happened to my broth er a few times in the ‘50s, which partially explains his mental state today. Not to mention the shape of his head. TOM: But the bigger concern about doors is that they stay closed in the event of an acci dent. There are a couple of OBVIOUS reasons for having
the doors stay closed in a crash: 1. It’s harder to fly out of the car if the door is closed. 2. If you get banged around sideways into another car or a telephone pole during an acci dent, it’s good to have a steel door between you and it. RAY: But perhaps most importantly, the doors play a crucial role in the structural integrity of the car DURING an accident. The body of the car is designed to absorb the impact of a collision so YOUR body doesn’t. And the doors are key structural parts of the car’s body. TOM: So if the doors fly open, the car is more likely to be crushed — along with you inside it. RAY: So does locking the door increase the likelihood that it will stay closed in an accident? Maybe a little. But the federal standard for UNLOCKED door latches is pretty darned stringent. The standard assumes that people won’t lock their doors, so it requires that unlocked doors be able to withstand at least 2,500

TOM: And then when you reach flat ground, you shift it back again. My guess is that during this transition, some part of the exhaust system touches the underside of the car and vibrates a little bit. RAY: It might be happening at higher speeds, too. But at higher speeds, all the car’s other creaks and groans, plus the wind and tire noise, drown out the exhaust noise, and you don’t hear it. TOM: My guess is it’s benign, Prasad. But if you want to put your mind at ease, try to duplicate the noise for your mechanic.

SEVEN DAYS
page 55
B n 1
A R IES
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Many people who consult astrology columns want hard-headed advice about money, love, career and power. I hope I don’t disappoint you, then, when I predict that you’ll soon have a close brush with a religious conver sion or spiritual epiphany. If it’s any consolation, please be assured that this will be no ordinary, airy-fairy encounter with the unseen world. I’m betting it has the potential of rousing up more good ideas about money, love, career and power than a year’s worth of generic horoscopes in your daily newspaper. In fact, if I had to give your week a title it might be “$10,000 Worth of Practical Mysticism.”
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): Whenever I write horoscopes about romance and togetherness, I attract a storm of complaints from readers who are solitary. “How dare you imply that everyone has or should have a partner!?” is a typical protest. “I’m quite content being alone!” is another. Let it be known henceforth, dear Taurus, that I do not believe your happiness depends on having a spouse or lover. What I do suspect is that your soul needs som e sacred rela tionship in order to thrive, whether it’s with a good friend, a beloved ani mal, a beautiful patch of earth, the Divine Wow or anything that’s not you. When I urge you to seek deeper, wilder communion — like now — feel free to interpret it as a call to explore any kind of intimacy that draws you closer to the secret heart of the world.
GEM IN I
(May 21-June 20): I’ll give you a hard time for just one more week, and then we can resume our love fest. Promise you won’t hold it against me? Remember, I’m merely channeling back to you the veiled contents of your own subconscious mind. It’s not my fault that even your guardian angel gets PMS now and
IH
then. So anyway, as I was saying before you made me feel guilty for doing my job: Emotional constipa tion is nature’s way of telling you that you haven’t digested all the fishy sto ries you’ve swallowed whole.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): You’re now experiencing astrological conditions that have been linked in laboratory rats to dramatic escalations of self-esteem. To test the hypothesis that these experimental results with animals may be applicable to humans, I urge you to act like a charismatic power-tripper this week. Well, let me amend that. Of course I mean you should do this with a Cancerian twist. Act like a compas sionate, sensitive, lyrical, charismatic powertripper.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): I think we can all agree that lately you’ve been feeling far hungrier than usual. To what do we attribute this gnawing insatiability? Do you have an actual need for larger quantities of food? Is your body trying to tell you that you’re suffering a nutritional deficien cy? Or is the chronic voraciousness a cover for a yearning to be better appreciated and recognized? It’s also possible, I suppose, that you’re aching for a love you’re not getting. Or maybe your soul is starved for adven tures that your ego is oblivious to. My advice? Experiment with different forms of nourishment until the bot tomless pit begins to feel full.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): San sports writer Tom Fitzgerald reported on the weekly rit ual of a pro football player. “I put my left sock on first before every game,” Bill Schultz said, “write my grand mother’s name on my wrist tape before putting on my gloves, walk on Francisco Chronicle
I

r ezs w y

■ ......W
the field to see how my shoes feel before putting on my pads, and then throw up.” Most of us have similar customs — superstitious habits we cling to even though they require a sour sacrifice. In Schultz’s case, he has developed an instinctive belief that in order to succeed at football he has to puke. You may believe, on the other hand, that in order to be of use to people you have to suppress your desires or suffer some deprivation. But this is a perfect moment to rebel against such nonsense.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve been boning up on an oracular tech nique called scarpomancy. It involves divining character from a person’s old shoes. This week I’ve examined the well-worn footwear of over a hundred Librans, and I’ve concluded that you folks are making gritty strides towards developing a more practical approach to life. You’re walking your talk more than you perhaps ever have before. The baby steps you’ve taken towards greater discipline and organization are beginning to add up to a giant step. There was one last truth revealed to me in the course of my soothsaying: You need to go out and buy new shoes that are attractive but comfort able.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In Joseph Campbell’s vision of myth, the hero is typically a solitary male who sporadically receives aid from a remote and ineffable muse. But let’s consider an alternative. In some stories, Buddha had a female ally as he sat under the Bo Tree seek ing enlightenment. Many early Christians described Jesus and Mary Magdalene as equal collaborators. The Sufi mystic poet Rumi may not have actually made love with his teacher Shams (then again, he might

W
have), but it’s clear that the two men pursued a spiritual quest rooted in collaboration, not lonely solo work. Why am I bringing up these exam ples? I’d love you Scorpios to look to intimate relationship as not just a source of sex and companionship but also as a spur to your most noble and transcendent ambitions. The coming months will bring rich opportunities to learn more about this.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s no way to say this without enraging churchgoers who take their religion way too seri ously, so if you’re one of that tribe, please stop reading now. The fact is, Sagittarius, the planetary forces are now conspiring to give you delight fully intimate, possibly even erotic dreams about God and Goddess. And that’s just one likely symptom of the moist breakthroughs you’re courting. I also expect at least one of the fol lowing events: cleansing tears in the face of unexpected beauty; gales of laughter that liberate you from a fixa tion you’ve clung to perversely; and a bracing foray into the borderlands that will disperse an ancient curse.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Imagine that you’ve been searching for treasure, Capricorn. With dogged patience, you’ve scoured the wide world, following clues that have come to you from dreams, over heard conversations and quirky books. Now, finally, this week, you stumble upon a large wooden chest shut tight with a rusty lock. It’s halfburied in a scrubby patch where a park meets a warehouse district. You dig it up with your bare hands, barely manage to lift it into the trunk of your car, and haul it home. Ripping it open with a crowbar, you find some of the valuables you hoped
AQ UARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Socialize like a Libra who spe cializes in creating a robust harmony that energizes everyone. Collaborate like an enlightened Scorpio who’s a master of blending self-interest with generous idealism. Inspire group enthusiasm like a Sagittarius oozing contagious excitement. Celebrate like a highly evolved Pisces who doesn’t need drugs and alcohol to achieve cathartic intoxication. And finally, dear Aquarius, network like a relaxed Aquarius whose frenetic monkey mind is not holding the rest of you hostage.
P IS C E S
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you hired me as your mentor or trainer or guide, you know what I’d do right now? I’d convince you to stop working. I’d ask you to redirect all the energy you normally give to producing results and improving yourself. I’d show you that the activi ty most worth pursuing during this phase of your astrological cycle is noholds-barred play — exuberant fun that’s free of ambition, creative mess ing around that has nowhere to go and nothing to prove, and inventive experiments that inspire you to sus pend inhibitions. I dare you to try just such a program, Pisces. ® Y ou c a n c a l l R o b B r e z s n y , d a y o r n ig h t f o r y o u r

Dear Lola, About once a week, my best friend's husband calls me up. Each time he claims that he’s dialed the wrong num ber. Then he launches in to a long monologue in which he pretends that he’s actually madly in love with me, and that these "accidents” are actually no accident at all. The fiirst frw times it was tunny, but this has been going on frr several months now, and his "pretend” love talk has become more and more explicit — sc much sc that I’m now embar rassed when I see him in person. I’m currently unattached, but I have no romantic interest in this man, and even less interest in causing trou ble in my friend’s mar riage. How can I get him to stop without embar rassing everyone? Bothered in Bolton Dear Bothered, Next time he calls, tell him you don’t have time to talk, and get efr the phone right away. When he no longer has an open receptacle in which to ejaculate his pretend passion, the "wrong numbers” are bound to peter cut.
