DEAN'S DALLIANCES

I recall hearing about a contestant in a beauty pageant who won the vote of the judges by offering to sleep with each one of them. Where did she learn this brilliant strategy?

From Howard Dean! First, he offered to sleep with Wesley Clark, but Wesley knew that Howard was only using him. Howard has since tried to sleep with everyone, from southern white rednecks to south­ ern blacks (never mind that he is as far from black as the North Pole).

Now we hear that he and Al Gore are expecting! Imagine the progeny of that union. Vermont’s sycophant liberal media remains true to its lofty principles in reporting on Dean: keeping the anti-Bush, pro-Dean propaganda flowing in hopes of molding pub­ lic perception and currying favor.

It’s all about turning tricks for Mr. Dean, the shameless political pros­ titute. You see, many journalists in Vermont are so eager for their piece of fame and glory that they have forgotten to apply right and wrong to Mr. Dean. But perhaps next year the good Gulliver will teach the pompous lord of Lilliput and his groveling courtiers a princely lesson!

LIFE LESSONS

1. For the average worker, your career is the largest income-pro­ ducing investment you have. It allows you to pay for all of your protections; health, life, disability and automobile insurance, etc., yet very few us do anything to insure our careers. It is worth protecting.

If you work for a medium or largesize company, form or join a union. It’s cheap insurance.

2. Get involved in your future at the grassroots level. Find a cause. Pensions, social security, liv­ able wages, the environment, retirement health-care benefits, anything. W hether you’re 15 or 25, every single one of us will get older, and these things are impor­ tant. Waiting until you are in need of any of these is too late to act quickly. Ensure your future by becoming involved today.

3. W hat kind of workplace will you leave behind for your kids?

Will it be one where the rules are made by the CEO, or will your kids have a voice in the workplace?

Providing for our children doesn’t end with home and school. We need to leave them good-paying and secure jobs.

4. Don’t wait for your CEO to fix it for you.

5. Help eliminate job off­ shoring. American companies that receive taxpayer assistance, federal subsidies, tax, credits or the like should not be allowed to move American jobs to other countries.

Let your local and federal politi­ cians know that their re-election depends on putting a stop to this unpatriotic practice.

The Boston Tea Party was a peace­ ful protest of unfair taxes on tea. I believe many Americans are ready for a United States “T ” Party. A peaceful, devoted effort to lower or cease paying taxes to starve our corrupt, overspending government into change. Some taxes must be paid by us, but so many others can cease or be reduced, like gasoline, alcohol and tobacco. This will reduce your taxes, you’ll live longer and breathe better. Not buying a new gas-powered car for two years

would save our tax dollars and force American car companies to produce hybrids or electrical hydrogen cars. Japan does, why don’t U.S. auto makers?

O ur current President is a can­ cerous sore on our U.S. reputation.

As we elect a President this year I ask America to elect a person who will make world peace, not kill and conquer and vow to clean up all the pollution. O ur military and U.S. corporations have ravaged our country and other countries.

Americans have owned the U.S. for only 228 years and through our government have damaged our country so thoroughly that it will take 300 years to clean up. Tell your kids that.

Happy New Year to all. See you at the United States “T ” Party; it goes on all year and everyone is invited. If not, in 2005, one Euro will buy five American dollars...

TSK, TSK

In Seven Days January 7, you pub­ lished a picture and accompanying text relating to a fundraiser on January 3 at the Rose St. Arts Co­ op [Scene@]. As one of the musi­ cians who participated in this event, I found that the reporter’s text was extremely prejudicial, ignorant and insulting. I have always found Seven Days to be a fair publication; a supporter of women’s rights and a better alter­ native to The Burlington Free Press.

It is very distressing to find this type of reporting in any newspaper — especially Seven Days. The reporter displayed an appalling lack of understanding and dis­ played an incredible bias and nar­ row-minded viewpoint. Further­ more, it is almost beyond belief that this piece was written by a woman. (“Take it off”(?)... Did she think she was at a burlesque show?)

I could attempt to explain that this was actually an incredible event, full of energy and cama­ raderie. I could try to explain that this type of dance and music is a joyful expression of folk traditions which date back thousands of years. I could try to focus on all the hard work and dedication tha,t went into the rehearsals and the coordination of all the organic food donors and the residents of the Rose St. Arts Co-op. I could attempt to explain that Mideast

dancing is not a burlesque strip show. But from the tone of the text, it appears that the reporter’s mind is already made up.

It is always a disappointment when the (narrow-minded, conser­ vative) Burlington Free Press proves to be the better paper when report­ ing on an event such as this. Seven Days and Ms. Cathy Resmer had a tremendous opportunity, but unfortunately chose instead to per­ petuate a stereotypical, male-ori­ ented image of a dance style that deserves more respect.

The very best of print journal­ ism traditionally relies on objectivi­ ty and accuracy on the part of field reporters. Usually, reporters inter­ view participants to get a full and well-rounded portrayal of the event being covered. Cathy Resmer was neither objective nor accurate. She presented a biased, degrading edi­ torial which would lead one to wonder as to her qualifications as a journalist.

If this is indicative of the style of reporting that Seven Days con­ dones for such an event, they would most certainly not be invit­ ed to any future events. The Burlington Free Press would be invited, as they have shown that they have a more professional approach to cultural events cover­ age.

AN I R R E V E R E N T R E A D ON V T P O LIT IC S

The Twilight Zone

—Janet Rood of Burlington and Shelburne...

eading national press coverage of former Gov. Howard D ean ’s presidential quest gives one the creepy feeling of having just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

The thumbnail description the national media has given Ho-Ho as an “angry, leftwing liberal” is completely out of whack with his 20-year public record in Vermont.

It’s like calling Independent Congressman B e m ie Sanders a shy, wishy-washy middle-of-the-roader. Doesn’t reality count any­ more in news reporting?

Apparently not.

Why have we seen hundreds of news reports highlighting the sealed portion of Howard Dean’s gubernatorial documents, and not one story on the fact that the public can’t get their hands on any documents from Gov. George W. B ush’s gubernatorial records?

The only explanation, folks, is that we’ve crossed over into the Twilight Zone. As producer/host Rod S erlin g used to say, “You’re traveling through another dimen­ sion, a dimension not only of sight and soundjbut of mind. A journey into a wondrous latid whose b o undarie^fe that of jy imagination. T hat’s the signpost up ahead — ychir next stop, the Twilight Zone!”

Take the coverage of Sunday’s candidates’ debate in Iowa. As soon as it was over, TV pundits like Chris M atthew s of “Hard­ ball” deemed the most newsworthy occur­ rence to be the “attack” on Ho-Ho by Al S harpton on the issue of race. Sharpton demanded to know how many blacks Dean hired to serve in his cabinet.

The fact is that in lily-white Vermont, Gov. Dean had the exact same difficulty that the private sector, including the Vermont media, had in attracting AfricanAmericans to the frosty Green Mountains.

The Burlington Free Press, for example, has always had great difficulty attracting black journalists to its Vermont newsroom.

It’s long been a bone of contention with Gannett corporate headquarters. Ever notice that you don’t see any black faces on Vermont TV news?

There are no black news reporters at Vermont Public Radi$£ eitheti No iflack hockey players attUVM. And there^re no African-Americans on the masthead of the paper you are currently reading. Might as well surrender the state to the Ku Klux Klan. Shame on Vermont, right?

Boy, wouldn’t Al Sharpton have fun with that?

But taking Al Sharpton as credible on race issues is a little like believing P ete R ose is an anti-gambling crusader. It’s tough to keep a straight face, yet the national media did just that when it came to Sharp to n’s debate attack on Dean. For the last 48 hours the Dean Campaign has been in Twilight Zone damage-control mode over it.

Meanwhile, a former W hite House insider, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, former CEO o f Alcoa Inc., goes public with the claim that President George W. Bush planned on invading Iraq to overthrow Saddam H u sse in almost from the day he moved into the W hite House.

- Compared to M onica L e w in sk y ’s

R

semen-stained blue dress, lying about the reasons for launching a war and killing hun­ dreds of American soldiers and thousands of innocent civilians is of minor import in the professional news judgment of America’s corporate media.

“I think in many ways this is the smok­ ing gun,” said Congressman Bernie Sanders Monday about the O ’Neill revelation.

“W hat many of us said from the beginning is that we had serious doubts as to whether the president was waging this war to fight terrorism. He said that it was a result of 9/11. That he was fighting terrorism by invading Iraq. Many of us said if you want to fight terrorism go after Osama b in Laden and al Qaeda.”

But King George II did not. Because of his maniacal fixation on Saddam, Mr. Bush repeatedly lied to the American people about the threat he posed and the existence of weapons he possessed.

President Bill C linton, you’ll recall, lied to us about his pecker. For that he was impeached and American TV viewers got front-row seats for tj|e eight-year run of Peckergate, starring Gennifer, Paula and Monica.

Recently a cable TV news producer visit­ ing Vermont told us that when her crew covered the trial of the first World Trade Center bombers in 1993-94, they could never get any of their work on the airwaves because all CN N wanted was Clinton sex stories.

Terrorism just didn’t sell back then. Not sexy enough. So Osama’s boys had to come back and finish the job to get C N N ’s atten­ tion, eh?

But why, you ask, is lying about the threat Iraq posed and then launching a totally unnecessary, unilateral invasion not an impeachable offense? . “Given the practical politics,” Mr. Sanders told Seven Days, “I think impeachment is a stupid idea. It would lead to the bringing forth of [Vice-President] Dick C heney.”

Good point.

Meanwhile, on the presidential circus front, Gov. Dean apparently got tired from pulling the arrows out of his lily-white butt this week. Ho-Ho wisely tried to redirect the focus of the news coverage to the real world.

Dean went on the offensive by holding the feet of the Commander-in-Deceit to the fire.

Ho-Ho issued a statement saying, “If Paul O ’Neill as a member of the National Security Council didn’t see evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, if he saw a President disengaged in the policy process, if Colin P ow ell saw no evidence of a ‘smoking gun’ tie between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein — what exactly did the Democrats who supported the war see?

W hy didn’t they ask the tough questions before the war, not six months later?”

Lacking a sex angle, the national press mostly ignored him. And The New York Times had a reporter parked all day Monday at the studios of Ch. 17, our local govern­ ment-access cable channel, sifting through the hundreds of Gov. Howard Dean weekly IN S ID E T R A C K »

C u r s e s , F o i l e d A g a i n Raymond Hernandez, 57, appealed his conviction for robbing a bank in Tularosa, New Mexico, arguing that trying to rob the same teller who moments earlier had refused to cash his check was such a stupid thing to do, it proved he was too drunk to be responsible. The Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, pointing out that Hernandez provided no evidence that fool­ ish acts necessarily result from drunken­ ness. Declaring that Hernandez chose “not the wisest course of action,” Assistant Attorney General Arthur Pepin explained, “Perhaps a better planned robbery would have been more successful.”

After being rushed to the emergency room, the motorist, Nickolas Sandoval, 24, was pronounced dead from asphyxiation. “This was a weird situation, especially considering he wasn’t being stopped by us in the first place,” Cpl.

New York Minutes emperatures were Vermontish in New York City last weekend, but that didn’t stop intrepid Saturday night gallery-goers. Most of them seemed to be squeezed into Taxter & Spengemann, the new Chelsea gallery of former Firehouse Gallery curator Pascal S p en gem an n . The space is so tiny — think small apartment — that there was hardly room for art aficionados and the art installation, a motorized trash pile by Charlotte Becket that was, in Spengemann’s words, “subtly respirating.”

Fortunately, Spengemann is still breath­ ing life into Burlington’s art scene, too. He’s

His politi­ cally charged re-use of National Geographic covers and old CDs recalls the homemade agitprop of his father, Bread and Puppet maestro P eter Schum ann.

Other recent Vermont/NYC connections spotted over the weekend: W illie M ullins, whose credits include the role of Emcee in the Essex Players’ Cabaret, showed up in the cast of House o f No More, a painfully hip multi-media extravaganza by Caden Manson/Big Art Group at P.$. 122.

And finally, Central Park insured that its W inter Festival would be fully winterized by importing snow-makers from Killington and M ount Snow. D avid D illon , president o f the Vermont Ski Areas Association, made a TV appearance Saturday morning to help spread the news — and the white stuff.

fledgling company sold thousands of dol­ lars’ worth of clothes at the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show and attracted press attention from as far as London. But none of it would have happened if Basile’s father didn’t sing in the Mad River Chorale.

It all began last summer in the attic of an old ski lodge in Waitsfield. Basile, a 2000 University of Vermont grad who lives in Portland, Maine, was visiting his parents when a local contractor informed the chorale that they could keep the contents of the lodge in exchange for clearing the place out; the contractor had purchased it and was about to renovate.

Basile tagged along and discovered a treasure trove. The building’s former owner had run a Mad River ski shop, and the attic contained approximately 1500 pieces of designer-label “dead stock”: paisley turtle­ necks and suede boots, striped stretch pants and knit hats, ski sweaters and daisy-pat­ terned parkas, all from the early ’70s and never worn. After some negotiations, the chorale agreed to lep Basile sell the clothes and give them a percentage of the profit.

W ho buys ’70s skiwear? Designers from retro-obsessed companies such as Ralph Lauren, The Gap and J. Crew, says Basile.

And “old-schoolers who actually remember this stuff from back in the day,” as well as “hipsters who just see this as some really wacky, funny-looking shit which they gotta have.”

If you gotta have it, too (prices range from $15 for a T-neck to $400 for a pair of Jean-Claude Killy lamb-fur boots), check out the website, www.vintagealpine.com.

Taking Dictation?

G

ee, only two weeks into the New Year and I’ve already got a case of the “What ifs?”

What if we had an honest government? What if mainstream media told the truth? What if Americans studied world history or, for that matter, their own?

Really, you’d think with all those best-selling biographies of the Founding Fathers floating around people would be learning something.

But I guess they never do. “I wander alone, and ponder,” as Adams said. “I muse, I mope, I ruminate. We have not men fit for the times.”

I’m talking about “the Bush and Hitler thing,” as I see it called, the giant flap created last week over a couple of TV ads that never aired. These commercials — two of them — were entries in the “Bush in 30 Seconds” campaign, a nationwide competition for antiBush TV spots sponsored by the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. According to news reports, one of the submissions “mixed images of Hitler and Nazi militarism with Bush taking the oath of office. The other quoted Hitler and Bush as saying they acted

tenders to disavow some ads no one saw.

“Such ads are anything but appropriate for television,” says RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie, “and MoveOn.org should apologize for post­ ing [them].” MoveOn has apologized for post­ ing them, but apparently this is insufficient penance for the self-incensed.

“To compare the president of the United States, his fight against al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, with the politics of Hitler is... shameful, it is beyond the pale, and has no place in the legitimate discourse of American politics,” says Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. “Adolf Hitler was responsible for the greatest crime in the history of mankind — the Holocaust. To compare Hitler to an American president is not only ludicrous, but defames the Holocaust.”

At the same time, Rabbi Hier condemns Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei for saying that Israel is seeking “an apartheid solution” to the Palestine problem, as evi­ denced by the great big wall it’s been building around the citizens of the West Bank. And no “debasement” exists, presumably, in the words f Grover Norquist, the Republican Party’s “prophet of permanence, ^who recently remarked on National Public Radio’s “Fresh Air” that the American estate tax, affecting some 2 percent of the population, reflects “the morality of the Holocaust.”

“Excuse me,” said the sturdy hostess of “Fresh Air,” Terry Gross. “Excuse me one sec­ ond. Did you just... compare the estate tax with the Holocaust?” in God’s name to vanquish their enemies” — “No,” said Norquist, fumbling for words, a statement of fact, inasmuch as both men “the morality that says it’s OK to do some­ did say such things. thing to a group because they’re a small per­ Let me repeat: Neither o f these commercials centage of the population is the morality that was aired.

I ’ve heardfrom all sorts o f places that it takes 43 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile (the numbers vary), but I can tellyou from experience that spending half an hour grinning is a lot more tiring than halfan hour o f not smiling, which is pretty much the same asfrowning. Is the whole idea bogus?

I’ve been hearing this for years. Supposedly it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown; ergo, you should smile.

Happiness, it seems, is the lazy persons emotion. Time to put this platitude to rest. I arrived at the following detailed accounting of the relevant muscles with the aid of David H. Song, MD, FACS, plastic surgeon and assis­ tant professor at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

Song, among other things, reconstructs faces — in short, he ought to know.

My apologies if this list seems obsessive, but were going to settle this once and for all. Caveat-. Deciding which of the 53 facial muscles are important in smiling or frowning is a bit arbitrary — many make only minor contributions, and depending on the intensity of the expression may not be involved at all. I’ve listed here the ones Song feels are important, as corroborated by other sources.

Muscles involved in a “zygomatic” (i.e., genuine) smile: • Zygomaticus major and minor. These muscles pull up the corners of the mouth. They’re bilateral (one set on either side of the face). Total number of muscles: four.

• Orbicularis oculi. One of these muscles encircles each eye and causes crinkling. Total: two.

• Levator labii superioris. Pulls up corner of lip and nose. Bilateral. Total: two.

• Levator anguli oris. Also helps elevate angle of ' mouth. Bilateral. Total: two.

• Risorius. Pulls corner of mouth to the side. Bilateral.

Total: two. Grand total for smiling: 12.

Principal muscles involved in a frown: • Orbicularis oculi (again). Total: two.

Despite the fact that smiling uses more muscles, Song believes it takes less effort than frowning — people tend to smile more frequendy, so the relevant muscles are in better shape. You may feel this conclusion assumes a rosier view of the human condition than the facts warrant, but I defer to the doctor. Incidentally, a superficial, homecoming-queen smile requires little more than the two risorius muscles. So if your goal in expressing emotion is really to minimize effort, go for insincere.

I ’ve heard o f this before, but didn’t believe it. Now I ’ve seen it for myself, and my skeptical mind needs a good explana­ tion. A lady in front o f me at the supermarket swiped her credit card but it didn’t work. She tried again, didn’t work.

The cashier tried, didn’t work. So far, everything was pro­ ceeding scientifically. Then the cashier says, “My friend who works at a bank taught me this. ”What’s he do? He puts the credit card in a plastic shopping bag, pulls the plastic tight around the card, and swipes it. Now the part I don’t get: It worked.

Tim, Newton, Massachusetts At least the cashier’s friend didn’t tell him to bury the card at a crossroads at midnight. Wacky though the plas­ tic-bag technique seems, several of Cecil’s engineering buddies admit they’ve seen it work. Here’s the deal.

Standard bank cards use the F2F (Aiken biphase) modula­ tion scheme, in which flux reversals encoded in the... eh, too much information. Let’s just say that when you swipe the card through the reader, the magnetized particles in its stripe generate a signal with “ticks” in it at intervals that the machine is able to interpret as digital ones or zeros. A scratch or other defect in the magnetic stripe can cause a spike (i.e., brief fluctuation) in the signal that a too-sensitive reader will interpret as a tick, meaning that the encod­ ed data will fail the parity check (the numbers won’t add up right) and the card won’t work.

Wrapping the card in plastic increases the distance between the read head and the magnetic stripe, thus reducing the strength and crispness of the signal and smoothing out anomalous fluctuations. Behold, the card works. Worth a try, anyway — God forbid the clerk should have to punch in the numbers by hand.

How Citizens Have Shaped Our Transportation Future

Our Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) open house and Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning presentation, Organization held on October 22, represented another milestone in the creative part­ nership of the Chittenden County Metropolitan‘Planning Organization (CCMPO) with J the public. The recently updated MTP features many of the issues and funding priorities that had been discussed in public surveys and forums.

Public involvement has always been essential to our planning efforts. In fact, a look at the CCM PO ’s twenty-year history reveals the increasingly collabo­ rative nature of the decision­ making process. Opportunities for public discussion of issues and solutions have steadily increased and enabled citizens to provide vital insights and ideas.

Consider these highlights: 1983: Representatives of nine member communities attend the first meeting of the CCMPO. 1985: A proposed Citizens Advisory Committee is replaced with widely advertised public meetings, increasing the opportu­ nities fo i public in v d l^ jfe n ^ f ; 1 9 8 8: T ile CCMPO’s fiStf t r lf ic survey is mailed to 1,500 County residents. The data is used to forecast the effects of transporta­ tion projects and development.

1991: The Federal government enacts the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA ), which emphasizes the importance of involving the public, the business sector, and commu­ nity organizations in the planning process.

1993: At four public workshops, County residents discuss priorities to be addressed in the transporta­ tion plan.

2000: A survey measures public satisfaction with the current transportation system and future spending priorities.

2002: In January, a full-day Transportation Solutions Workshop serves as a major source of public input for transportation planners. In June, three Transportation Alternatives Workshops generate public discus­ sion of land use, planning, conges­ tion, transit, funding, and road construction.

2003: A Citizen Participation Committee composed of diverse volunteers sets goals, discusses, and provides recommendations for a plan to more fully engage the public in transportation issues.

In addition to the initiatives and events noted above, we offer numerous ways to learn about the issues and participate in the decision-making process. First, many of our project committees include citizens and, by joining one, you can become actively involved. You can also visit the CCM PO web site (ccmpo.org) to read about current projects, join our mailing list to receive meeting announcements and invitations, and send comments to the CCMPO. Finally, mem­ bers of the public are welcome to attend CCM PO Board and committee meetings, where time is always reserved for public comment.

Truly, the success of our ongoing journey toward a safe, efficient, and cost-effective transportation system is based, in large part, on the input of thoughtful, imagi­ native citizens who have gener­ ously given of their time and energies. Much remains to be done, and in the years ahead the public must continue to play a vital role in shaping our transportation future.

2 1/4 cups finely diced, peeled eggplant 1 teaspoon coarse salt plus more to taste 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons minced shallots 4 large Idaho potatoes ' Pepper 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

.; *■

.

/

Toss eggplant with 1 teaspoon of salt and allow to sit for 20 minutes. The salting helps leach any bitterness from the eggplants. Squeeze out all the moisture by gently twisting in a clean cloth kitchen towel. Set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the eggplant and shallots and saute for about 6 minutes, or until very ten­ der. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Peel potatoes and grate into a clean kitchen towel. Tightly twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. ( It's really important that you remove as much of the moisture as possible from both vegetables. For the eggplant, this ensures a sweet, dense flavor and for the potatoes, a crisp, dry crust.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat remaining 1/4 cup of oil in a 9-inch oven­ proof, nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Using a spatqla, evenly press half of the potatoes into the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spread the reserved eggplant over the top. Pat remaining potatoes evenly over the eggplant. Again, season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until bottom is golden. Carefully turn and dab the crust with bits of butter. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until bottom begins to crisp. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until pota­ toes are cooked and tart is golden and crisp. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut into 6 wedges and serve immediately.

BY GRETCHEN GILES

C Y B E R S P A C E O D D IT IE S

Fomenting Resolutions don’t know about you, but since 12:01 a.m. on New Year’s Day, I’ve hardly eaten anything other than air and tofu and Cheetos and broccoli. My invigo­ rating exercise routine has consisted o f 30 complete seconds o f extreme car­ diovascular effort some five times a week. My smoking has stuttered, if not stopped, and the New Me for 2004 drinks moderately, prudently considering just one bottle o f red wine a day to be within the acceptable consum ption range o f boisterous health tonics.

I’ve been doing for others, at least as long as they do for me. And m oney... well, yes, money. It’s been a spare, soulful two weeks since my last lottery purchase — not easy, but so aught-four. I’ve dutifully tucked away a full 10 percent o f the funds I’m not spending on fast food or heroin so as to one day — oh, some day! — be able to purchase a sweet, little, pink mink stole I might snuggle protectively around my neck, keeping it safe from those PETA creeps.

Simply put, I’ve resolved: 2004 finds me a changed woman, a reformed person, a better-gentler-kinder-thinner-sober-nonsm oking bitch o f a gal gnawing like a rabid ferret on the short chain o f life.

But you are, too, right? And as we all slump woefully into the third week o f resolve, those good intentions are beginning to come apart, aren’t they?

T h at first day o f jogging kind o f made your shins hurt, but in a good way, and yet after all these days they still hurt. A nd not in a good way. T h at first salad w ith just a squeeze o f lemon and a dash o f fresh herbs was so ... so ... fresh, wasn’t it? But how does it taste tonight? W ouldn’t a large, dripping slice o f garlic bread w ith gooey Parmesan melted atop make it freakishly even fresher? You bet it would. A nd my God, for a cigarette. Ohh, a whiskey.

According to the Oakland, California-based H M O Kaiser Permanente, six out o f 10 Americans make resolutions to better themselves each New Year.

At the nonprofit end o f the spec­ trum , First Gov for Citizens charm ­ ingly calls itself the U.S. Governm ent’s Official Web Portal — “portal” being so last-century. Fisting the top New Year’s resolutions most o f us failingly adopt, First Gov hyper­ links each to an official U.S. site, so that the “D rink Less Alcohol” link tak£s one directly to the National Institute on Alcohol and Alcoholism.

'There, we learn that taking in movies, going out to dinner and playing sports are all excellent ways to avoid drunken binging — except, o f course, for those of us who like post-film libations, wine with a meal and many burpy beers with our football.

But once you get onto First Gov, it’s easy to digress. You might get mired, as I did, in the Quickfacts offered by the Census. There you can find such oddly alluring info as that Vermont boasts 65.8 persons per square mile and has 246,320 non­ farm laborers.

Good news: Putting a sorry end to time-wasting is emphatically not among this year’s resolutions. ® Web Feat wonders what marvel you’ll work on yourself this year. Resolve to write webdfeat@yahoo.com.

press conference tapes. Surely the Times will find something to take out of context and splash across page one.

O n the home front, folks at the Statehouse in Montpeculiar have a daily reminder in their midst of President Bush’s big lie.

State Rep. Doran M etzger (RMilton) is a member of the Vermont National Guard and could be called up to active duty at any time.

Lt. Metzger recently completed training as a Black Hawk helicop­ ter pilot. Doran-Doran’s unit, the 86th Medical Co. is composed of six helicopter “air ambulances.”

They carry two pilots, a crew chief and a medic, and there’s room, he said, for 11 passengers.

Metzger’s chopper also wears a Red Cross emblem and is unarmed, as required by the Geneva Convention.

Unfortunately, the red cross on the fuselage has not prevented Iraqi gunners from shooting them down over there in the Bush war zone. O n Saturday the BostonGlobe highlighted the danger in a story titled, “Attacks highlight growing danger for copter medics.”

Thanks, George.

Gov.’s “Fit and Healthy Kids Initiative” is not in any way, shape or form a “War on Fat Kids.”

“I want to make it clear,” said Douglas, “There’s no War on Fat Kids. There’s a War on Fatness.”

But it doesn’t appear Douglas is going to employ much in the way of weaponry in his fat war.

You see, some lawmakers want legislation banning from school property the machines that sell fat food to kids. Sounds perfectly log­ ical.

Not to Gov. Douglas, who in his younger years carried quite a bit more fat on his torso. Surpri­ singly, at his recent weekly press conference our now-skinny gover­ nor refused to even tell reporters how much he weighs.

“To be perfectly honest,” said Douglas, “an occasional soda is not going to result in childhood obesity. It’s a matter of degree and education and exercising restraint and discretion. So I think an occasional unhealthy snack is_OK. I have one myself once in a while.

Leading by example, eh?

War on Sm okers? — That

looks like the next battle to be waged by the distinguished City Council in the People’s Republic of Burlington. Smoking in restau­ rants is already banned, but the Council is moving ahead with a plan to make smoking in bars ille­ gal, too.

It sure sounds like Big Brother, but, hey, that’s the way the world is moving. The next logical step is a ban on alcoholic drinks in bars.

Brilliant!

F ash ion S ta tem en t? —

Imagine the picture — Gov. Jim Douglas partying with a Nazi SS officer on New Year’s Eve. Unbelievable, you say?

Well, Seven Days has learned that IDX whiz Rich Tarrant’s New Year’s Eve Party at the Clarion Hotel had a special twist this year. The theme was the movie classic Casablanca, starring H um phrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergm an. The film’s setting was Nazi-occupied Morocco.

While most of the gentlemen in attendance simply wore tuxe­ dos, a few guys really got into the movie theme and donned Nazi outfits. And the slickest of all, we’re told, was the SS uniform donned by A ngelo P izza g a lli of Pizzagalli Construction in South Burlington. Eyewitnesses say he even wore a swastika armband!

Mr. Pizzagalli could not be reached for comment this week.

Angelo’s secretary informed us he was vacationing in France. (Didn’t know Vichy France still existed, eh?)

-> ; q Douglas spokesman Jason Gibbs confirmed his boss dropped by the Casablanca party.

He said he hadn’t heard a peep about the Nazis in attendance.

Tarrant fo r Sen ate? — Richie

Rich, like Angelo, is out of town this week and unavailable for comment. Probably taking a little honeymoon time in the sailboat following his New Year’s Eve wed­ ding.

So far, Mr. Tarrant’s been pret­ ty tight-lipped about his political plans. But he’s been careful not to slam the door on a run against Leahy. So far, all the Republican Party has for a candidate to take on P atrick L eahy is O f Jack McMullen, the multimillionaire who Fred T uttle knocked off in the 1998 GOP primary. Some GOP leaders are not real fond of McMuffin, er, McMullen. They •} have reason to hope.

Seven Days had learned the IDX gazillionaire was in the field with a political poll last week.

And as luck would have it, one of the Vermonters called by Tarrant’s polling outfit is a staff member of U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy!

Hey, Vermont truly is a small state.

Longtime Leahy staffer Joh n Goodrow was home recuperating from a November car accident when he got the phone call last week. The most interesting thing, said Goodrow, was that the poll­ ster kept mispronouncing Rich Tarrant’s name, putting the emphasis on the last syllable.

Sounds to us like the pollster thought Richie Rich is a member of the “tanz«mla” family.

The 20-minute poll required

SEVEN DAYS I januafrjr 14<*21, 2004 I i n s i d e tr a c k 17A

those called to rate on a scale o f 1 to 10 their approval of Tarrant, McMullen, Bernie Sanders, P eter c ia v e lle and Pat Leahy. Reading from a prepared script, the pollster also tried to splash a little mud on St. Patrick by asking questions such as, “Would you be more or less likely to vote for Leahy if you knew he was one of only 10 sena­ tors to vote against the president’s ‘No Child Left Behind’ bill?”

O r “...if you knew Leahy voted against the Iraq War Resolution and the elimination of the death tax?”

O r “.. .if you knew Leahy sup­ ported civil unions?”

Playing the homophobia card, are we, Mr. Tarrant?.

The Tarantula Poll also tried to pump up Richie Rich’s resume, asking if those called would “be more or less likely” to support Tarrant if they “knew he was a successful businessman, a founder of IDX, a St. Michael’s grad, and a supporter of local charities and the University of Vermont.”

The poll also hinted at a Tarrant health-care scheme in the works.

Those called were asked to help pick a name for it by choosing from a list that included: “Medical Single­ payer System,” “Universal Foundation Payer System,” “Umbrella Payer System” and “Federal Insurance Reserve System Trust,” among others.

Very cute. Can’t wait to see the Big Tarantula’s plan, eh?

Political pros will tell you that a push poll like this is designed to knock down the incumbent and build up the challenger. Given all the “bail” things St. Patrick has T done, Tarrant’s poll will likely show Leahy less popular than his 70plus-percent approval rating.

Expect Candidate Tarrant to spin the numbers to show Leahy is vul­ nerable.

Let the games begin!

Is S hum m y R unning? — All through December the talk was, former State Sen. P eter S h u m lin was not going to take on Peter Ciavelle in a bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi­ nation.

According to those who heard him, Shumlin took many a shot at Gov. Jim Douglas and tqld tfyp.j audience th^t if he runs fre will not trash Ciavelle, but ^athe^ invite Mayor Moonie to a series of issue forums around the state.

Shumlin confirmed Tuesday, “The only way for Peter or Peter to win is if we join hands together to defeat Jim Douglas.

Physical therapist Brian Loeffler sat me down and asked me where it hurt. It did­ n’t take him Tong to diagnose my problem as “lum bar muscle strain.” Known as weight lifter’s back, it’s also com m on for folks like me, who spend most days sitting at computers.

dening, then spent a happy half-hour har­ vesting strawberries. By bedtime, my back was making me painfully aware that I’d jum ped into the season much too fast. I swallowed some ibuprofen, then eased under the covers and into the only posi­ tion that didn’t make me feel like crying. I didn’t budge again until m orning — by which time, even budging was an issue.

Every way I turned, I hurt, whether I was trying to tear a sheet o f toilet paper from the roll, get a glass from the dishwasher, or reach for more ibuprofen.

Friends spoke ominously o f surgery.

O ne acquaintance confided that the only real cure for a bad back is drugs. I wasn’t looking forward to spending the foresee­ able future floating in a medicated fog. But that seemed preferable to perpetual pain.

Instead o f pushing pills, my doctor handed me a list o f physical therapists. I picked O n Track in Burlington, the one closest to where I work. I had no idea o f what to expect — from the treatm ent or myself.

W hen I showed up for my first appointm ent, I found a large room with a reception area and three treatm ent tables.

An adjoining space housed an array o f intim idating exercise equipm ent for use in physical therapy or by fitness freaks who paid for gym memberships. M irrors lined a couple walls, and T he Kinks’ “Com e Dancing” was playing on the sound sys­ tem. In the treatm ent room, a middleaged man wearing only gym shorts was lying under a heating pad on one table

“straight” meant. I knew that I needed to suck in my gut, but should I pull my pelvis back, or forward? A nd what about my neck and shoulders? I wasn’t used to paying that sort o f attention to my body.

As long as I was basically healthy, my rea­ soning went, such merely physical con­ cerns were vacuous and unw orthy o f my attention. Even if Brian hadn’t suggested I watch myself in the mirror, pondering my posture would have felt awkward.

To dem onstrate what I was doing wrong, Brian pulled out a flexible toy spine. T he clevef little model K&Ltool moving parts th a t distracted rhe from lis­ tening to his words. It suddenly dawned on me that I had no idea which side of the gizmo was facing front. Ashamed o f my appalling ignorance, I didn’t ask.

Luckily, there wasn’t a quiz. Even bet­ ter, treating my seized-up muscles m eant lying tum m y-dow n with a heating pad on the small o f my back. W hen was the last time I’d done som ething that felt this great, just for myself? G etting an insur­ ance-covered medical directive basically to be pampered seemed like a scam.

Payback for this guilty indulgence came soon enoughs Brian sent me to the fitness room. Ten minutes on the stationary bike would further loosen my muscles, he said.

T he ordeal felt like forever. M y legs ached, m y heart pounded and my lungs gasped. I remembered the hamster my sister had when we were little. It ran itself to death on its wheel. ,

Somehow I survived, and was rewarded for my effort with another example o f feel-good physical therapy: an ultrasound massage. After applying gel to my skin, Brian slowly worked a metal wand back and forth over the injured area. “U ltrasound waves w ork like deep heat,” he explained. By penetrating deep into the muscle tissue, the waves increase blood flow and prom ote relaxation.,,Th?y also break-up. any adhesion or scar tissue that may be im peding the muscle fibers. O nce I’d gotten over feel­ ing self-conscious, I enjoyed the quiet com fort o f being massaged — another new experience for me. And I appreciated m y back’s improved m obility when I stood up. After that first session, I couldn’t wait for1m y next treat­ ment.

To keep me progressing — or at least guard against backsliding — between appointm ents, Brian taught me how to bend down.

Balancing a green exercise ball between my lower back and the wall, I bent my knees, curving my back and sticking my butt out. In the mirror, I looked like a baboon. “W hen you’re working „ in the garden,” Brian instructed, “try to imagine that you’re hold­ ing that ball in place.”

He also showed me some stretches to keep my lumbar area limber, and an exercise focused on my abdomen. “People who really work on these muscles get what they call a six-pack,” he gently explained. W hat I heard was, “It’s about time you started working off that gut.” For months, I’d been pretending not to notice the trou­ ble I had fastening waistbands, or the rolls of flesh spilling out at my sides, making me dread bathing suits and my own reflection.

T he point o f the abdom en exercise wasn’t beauty, though.

Its purpose was to strengthen muscles whose job it is to help hold me up, lightening the load on my back. T he exercise itself seemed almost criminally m ini­ mal: Lie on my back and tighten my tum m y 10 times. Rest and repeat. T hen do it again.

Running through the routine in the living room always drew guf­ faws from my exercise-averse husband and daughter. I laughed, too, as certain as they were that this pseudo-workout was the closest I w ould ever come to the world o f physical fitness.

never played a sport, I did own a bicycle and regularly walked to work. D uring my first pregnan­ cy, I swam in Los Angeles, where palm trees swayed beside the pool in the January sun. More recently, in Vermont, I’d done laps at the Y — until I caught a cold and let my membership drop. I’d even tried jogging two or three times. But strolling beside the lake was m uch more pleasant, and a lot easier.

This time, though, I was under doctor’s orders. Ever the good student, I did my hom e­ work and kept my appoint­ ments, where I dutifully fol­ lowed all Brian’s directives. As he weaned me, week by week, off passive pam pering and onto increasingly active exertions, I was amazed to discover that I wasn’t just willing to comply, but able.

My bicycling sessions increased, along w ith my stam i­ na. M y stomach-sucking schtick was replaced by exercises that felt like actual w ork — and that actually felt good. As I went about my life, I found myself able,to do more and more things, such as carrying the recy­ cling to the curb and raking

leaves, w ithout pain. Just living inside my flesh began to feel different: My body seemed less like bulk dragging me down and more like a bulwark sup­ porting me.

In October, Brian told me we were through. My back was better and I had an exercise regime to keep it that way. To stay limber, I was to take regular walks. I tried not to show my disappointment. W ithout the structure o f semi-weekly appointments, I wondered how long my resolve would last. The idea o f slacking off was doubly

machines built for that purpose.

Imaginative engineering had gone into the design o f the “seated leg curl,” which looked like what might happen if a dental chair mated with a spin­ ning wheel. Flexing at the knee pushed down a footrest that turned a disc that pulled a strap that lifted a stack o f weights.

T he result: stronger hamstrings.

After a m onth o f three sets o f 10 reps four times a week at 35 pounds, I was stunned to dis­ cover that, by running my hands along my legs, I could actually confirm the claim.

Objects have gotten lighter, staircases seem less steep, and the num ber of tasks I can accomplish in a day has increased.

disheartening because, after all these years o f dismissing physi­ cal activity, I was surprised to find that I liked it.

As it turned out, I needn’t have worried. Call it coinci­ dence, fate or a subconscious strategy to sabotage my release from Brian’s care: The day after our parting conversation, I stepped out o f the bathroom in the dark and stubbed my toe, hard, on thtfdeg o f the h$|ch. It hurt like hell. A trip to the doc­ tor’s confirmed that the toe was broken. But I didn’t need to wait for the x-ray results to know that my planned walks would have to be postponed. To maintain my m om entum , I bought a m onth’s membership at the gym and asked Brian to suggest some exercises to accommodate a bum foot.

He did that, and then some.

For starters, he put me on the elliptical trainer: a cross between a treadmill and a Stairmaster that let me “walk” w ithout pounding the pavement.

Snowshoe-like pedals moved along an incline that could be adjusted to put pressure on, or take it off, different muscles.

Lights on the dashboard showed whether I was working my calves, hamstrings, quads or glutes — and taught me what those terms meant. By keeping the stress off my calves, I could work my legs while protecting my toe.

The controls let me choose whether I felt like I was walking on air or wading through muck, and enabled me to m onitor my virtual distance. It also kept track o f time, heart rate, pace and calories consumed. Those blinking lights weren’t just entertaining; they were inspir­ ing. How could I not try to push the m onitor out o f “weight loss” and into the “car­ diovascular” zone? If I’d just been taking real walks, I would have just, well, walked. I also wouldn’t have done anything else to build up my strength.

But under Brian’s direction, I learned to use the strange black

D itto my quads. They got their due on the “leg exten­ sion,” which reversed the m otion o f the “leg curl.” O ther machines and some work with free weights focused on my arms and upper back. Lying against an exercise ball and curl­ ing at the waist addressed my ongoing abdominal issue.

After all these m onths my gut is still a problem, though much less? so than it was 4n June. I realize my hard work has been paying off every time I button my fly. O ther physical changes: Objects have gotten lighter, staircases seem less steep, and the num ber of tasks I can accomplish in a day has increased.

A more subtle adjustment has occurred in my outlook. My first hint o f this shift came one day when I was resting between sets on the “lateral pull dow n.”

Another woman was running on the treadmill and a third lay on her back, wrapping her legs around an exercise ball and rais­ ing it over her head.

I’d reached that slightly buzzed, sweetly tired state I’ve learned is the reward o f a good workout, and these other women couldn’t have looked better. And then it-struck me: N eithet on^ fit the standard, skinny definition o f beauty For all my dissatisfaction with my appearance, I was probably clos­ er to our culture’s ideal than they were. A nd yet they were wonderful to watch because they were carrying themselves with such ease. Could I do the same?

W ith a jolt, I realized that I could. All those months of forced focus on my body had given my mind a workout, as well.

Just after New Year’s, my toe finally healed, freeing me to walk all I want. G etting outside again is great, but I don’t antici­ pate. dropping my gym m em ­ bership anytime soon. Now that I’ve learned to tell my teres major from my latissimus dorsi — and to love them both — I’m not about to throw in the tow el.®

illiston software developer Chris Yager was watching T V one day when he decided to get off the couch and become an adven­ ture racer. “It was the Eco-Challenge,” recalls Yager. “I said, ‘This is cool. I want STORY to do this.’ So I called up sojne friends,^-j SAFRAH and conned them into doing a race near TUFF O ttaw a.”

For m onths, Yager and his teammates I MAGES met two or three times a week to run the T IM O T H Y Intervale, paddle the W inooski River, C U R T IN m ountain bike and practice orienteering & with a map and compass. In the spirit o f SH A W N adventure racing, they came up with a F R E E B E R N name: Tuckered Indecision — in honor of somebody’s pooch, as Yager recalls. But when the team showed up at the pre-race meeting in ragtag hiking clothes, they felt like touch-football players at the Super Bowl. “There were sponsored teams with matching outfits; it was a little unreal,” says Yager. “We’re sitting around thinking, ‘We’re going to get crushed.’”

W hen Tuckered Indecision went out and won the event, anyway, Yager was hooked. But then he looked around Vermont for more adventure races that would fit his schedule, and came up empty. W here were his fellow endurance enthusiasts? Slowly, he began to collect names and email addresses. Last m onth, he officially founded the Green M ountain Adventure Racing Club, which meets for the first time on January 22.

T he sport o f adventure racing began in 1989, most agree, with the inaugural Raid Gauloises, in which a French journalist sent teams on a multi-day, self-supported jaunt through more than 300 miles of New Zealand rainforest and m ountain wilderness. After captaining a Raid team, a Brit named M ark Burnett w hipped up the Eco-Challenge in 1995, which aimed to raise environmental awareness but actually turned out to be the perfect soap opera: buff bodies grunting and bickering against a backdrop o f exotic locales. Eventually, the Eco-Challenge was eclipsed by Burnett’s next television series — “Survivor” — and the race was suspended after the Fiji run in 2002.

If the Eco-Challenge inspired some armchair adventurers like Yager, it turned others off. W ho wants to voluntarily get

mired in misery for weeks at a time? M any competitors had to quit their jobs to train, or borrowed money to buy ge£r. G radu­ ally, though, the sport’s ambassadors began to scale back,^creating events that could be completed in a cpuple o f days -or even a few hours, and wouldn’t break backs or banks. But they retained the ecological awareness and respect for the outdoors cel­ ebrated by their more grandiose predeces­ sors. In adventure races, competitors must tread lightly upon the remote wilderness in which they race, carrying their own food and navigating with rudim entary tools.

Now, the sport is beginning to boom.

“In 2000, there were around 35 races, and in 2003, over 350 races,” says Troy Farrar o f the U nited States Adventure Racing Association. “We expect this num ber to double in the next couple o f years.” The roster o f competitors is growing at an equally astonishing rate, with an estimated 50,000 adventure racers in the United States, most recruiting buddies for good, old-fashioned fun in the woods.

“The sport is growing extremely fast, and it’s being fueled by a couple o f things,” says Brian Metzler, editor and publisher^qf Adventure Sports magazine, which debuted slast year. “First, people are looking for the> next challenge to train for, beyond marathons and triathlons.

Secondly, it mirrors the trend o f more and more people getting into the outdoors and for pure enjoym ent.”

Races vary in length, from sprints o f six to eight hours to efforts lasting 12, 24, 48 hours or more. T he disciplines involved are also diverse. M ost events include m ountain biking, trekking and paddling in canoes or kayaks; others throw in climbing and rapelling. As the sport grows and splinters in new directions, the basic precepts remain the same: These are m ulti-sport, off-road events for groups o f two to five, who must compete and cross the Finish line as a unit.

T he t e a m is t h e m a jo r d iff e r e n c e

that sets adventure races apart from tradi­ tional endurance events. “W hat attracted me from the beginning was the nature o f

the sport — in the wilderness, away from everything, doing lots o f different activi­ ties,” says Yager, “But w hat’s kept me in it is the team aspect. W orking w ith my teammates and com peting against the course — n o t other people.”

Choosing the right teammates is essen­ tial, and can be as challenging as the race itself. Compatibility, both physical and emotional, is key. So your coworker can run a mile in four flat? W hat happens when he’s hungry, lost or mad as a wet

to fight fatigue and boredom by reciting riddles or singing, say, “Rubber Ducky.”

T he m ost successful teams also know how to strategize, deciding as a group when, or if, to sleep during a 48-hour race, or w hether to risk that sketchyshortcut across a river. (Yager’s team did that once and ended up waist-high in the water while they watched the other teams prance across a bridge just yards away.)

You also m ust determ ine how hardcore you’ll be: Some top racers remove all

“T h at’s the fun o f it: ‘D id you guys find checkpoint 4? O h, that was so hard!”’ says Loeffler. “A lot o f that goes on after a Y> race.

The post-race meals are the sole objec­ tive for some teams. O ne racer, having fin­ ished an event so far behind that the burg­ ers were cold, told Farrar his goal for this year was to arrive in time for hot food.

Farrar adds, “I did see the team in the salon with some hot burgers and cold beers after this race.”

What attracted me from the beginning was the nature of the sport — in the wilderness, away from everything, doing lots of different activities. But what’s kept me in it is the team aspect.

C HR I S YAGER hen on mile 20 o f the m ountain-bike leg?

And are you sure you want to saddle down your superwoman sister, when you haven’t paddled a canoe in years?

“In triathlons, it’s how hard you can push yourself,” says Burlington'physical therapist Brian Loeffler, a formtff triathlete who’s done five adventure1races and is co­ founder o f the Green M ountain Adventure Racing Association. “In adven­ ture racing, it’s how well the team can work together... A nd it doesn’t m atter how fast you’re going if you’re going the wrong way; you’ll just have longer to come back when you figure it o u t.”

There are stories o f racers who curl up for a nap in the middle o f the trail while their confounded teammates stand by, just waiting, and tales o f athletes piggy-back­ ing each other to the next checkpoint. T he latter, as it turns out, happens more often than the former, and organizers often allow towing systems on the m ountainbike portions, so teammates can drag along the weakest link — or the poor sod with a busted derailleur. Says Yager, “T he physical aspect’s im portant, but it’s a lot more how you deal w ith each other, m oti­ vate each other, handle each other when you’re up or dow n.” Participants learn how

their toenails before an event, to avoid losing them — and precious tim e — mid-trek.

And then there’s the question o f sup­ plies and equipm ent. How m uch food, water and clothing can you bring? Should you shell out for that lightweight pack, or save your stash for new shocks? Gear has become such a touchstone for adventure racers that it inspired ediblegear.com, the website o f Eastern Active Technologies, or EAT, which purportedly produces equip­ m ent you consume along the way. Here, you learn about ProteinStix trekking poles, available in beef, chicken, shrimp or tex­ tured vegetable protein, and California Roll sleeping pads made from CarboFoam, T h e site received so many hits and orders, the creators finally had to ’fess up that it was a prank. Perhaps it’s just a m atter of tim e before someone really creates comestible gear. , For now, adventure racers will have to make do with the dinners that follow events — and for most people, this is just fine. After some serious water intake and, if they’re lucky, a shower, competitors con­ gregate not so much to celebrate individ­ ual achievements as to swap stories and pick up a few pointers from other teams.

O n the m enu for members o f the Green M ountain Adventure Racing Association are networking opportunities, races and reduced rates on gear. “T his is a way for all the racers in the area to get together,” says Yager. “T hat first race, we were so intim idated because we didn’t know if we were doing anything right. So it will be nice to have a place for folks to learn.”

A few more adventure races are now happening around Vermont, and Yager hopes to host some local events starting this summer. T he club has already attract­ ed several sponsors, which offer discounts to members. Those who join can also attend orienteering workshops, learn train­ ing techniques and find teammates.

“W hat’s great about adventure racing,” says Farrar, “is that there’s always someone who achieved new limits they never imag­ ined possible, learned a new skill, or just enjoyed a weekend in nature with friends.” ® The Green M ountain Adventure Racing Association hosts its first meeting on January 22, 7 p.m ., a t On Track, 1 M ain Street in Burlington.

young Vietnamese m other who doesn’t speak English walks into the Com m unity Health Center in Burlington one m orning carrying an infant who’s been awake all night with a high fever. A nurse conduct­ STORY ing a routine examination o f the child KEN notices the baby’s skin bears suspicious red P IC A R D marks that look like burns or bruises. As a licensed health-care provider, the nurse is I MAGE required by law to report suspected cases of JO R D A N abuse or neglect. As recently as five years S IL V E R M A N ago, she might have alerted the authorities before realizing her mistake.

N ot anymore. Today, medical workers at C H C have learned to recognize the tell­ tale signs of “coining,” a traditional home remedy to relieve pain that is practiced in many Asian countries. This gentle proce­ dure involves rubbing the skin with hot oil or warm coins, which leave behind red marks that eventually fade.

“As practitioners, we have a belief in holistic medicine,” says Lee Oi^ky, a physician-asjfetant at C H C who scio n s and " ” evaluates all new refugees to the Burlington area for communicable diseases. “So when a young Asian woman comes in with her child who has a fever, I’m not going to assume that the only thing she’s using is Tylenol, because I know, culturally, that they are using other things. And I’m not going to be judgm ental.” Despite its chal­ lenges, Orsky notes that treating new for­ eign-born residents is rewarding. “It’s what brings me to work every day,” she says. “It sort of feels like a little travel trip for m e.”

Coining is just one example of the many unfamiliar practices and beliefs that Vermont’s health-care workers have had to learn about in the last decade. As the num ­ ber and diversity o f Vermont’s foreign-born residents grow, so do the demands on the region’s health-care facilities. T he challenge for local doctors, nurses, mental-health workers and other providers is not only to communicate with their patients — who may speak a bewildering assortment of lan­ guages and dialects — but also to under­ stand their unique histories and cultural attitudes. As medical practitioners will tell you, it’s almost impossible to diagnose and treat an illness if they literally don’t know where the patient is coming from.

Compared to other states with larger and more ethnically diverse populations, Vermont has only just begun its education into the world o f culturally appropriate health care. In 1993, the C H C began to see an increasing num ber o f foreign-born patients, the result o f a wave o f refugees moving into the O ld N orth End. M any of these new residents didn’t speak English and had never been exposed to Western medicine. As a result, even routine proce­ dures such as having their blood drawn or getting a gynecological exam could be trau­ matic experiences. As C H C ’s Alison Calderara explains, the medical staff soon realized they were lacking an essential diag­ nostic tool: professional interpreters.

“Equal access to health care doesn’t mean the same thing to every person,”

Calderara says. “And for people who don’t speak the language, equal access means that you have to have an interpreter.” For years, it was considered acceptable to have a family member, typically a child, trans­ late symptoms, diagnoses and treatm ent instructions. No more. Under federal law, health-care facilities that receive govern­ m ent funding are now required to provide interpreters for any patient who cannot speak English. In response to this rule, C H C became the first medical institution in the stare to hire professional translators.

Currently, the clinic employs interpreters

who speak Bosnian and Vietnamese, as well as health-care professionals who are conversant in French, German and Spanish. In 2003, o f the 8700 or so patients the facility served, more than 5 percent required an interpreter.

“Russian, Czech, Portuguese, Chinese, Tibetan. We get language requests that are just amazing,” says Calderara. “Sometimes in a medical environment you can be talking about things that are stressful, and you always want to be sure that you’re talking to people in a language that they are comfortable in.”

O f course, understanding what a patient is saying isn’t the same as knowing what a patient means. As Orsky learned, sometimes even the simplest words and concepts do not translate well from one language to another. “W hen I first started seeing the Vietnamese population, I would hear from them that they ‘feel hot,”’ Orsky recalls. “If

SEVENDAYS I J a n u a r y 14-21, 2004 I f e a t u r e 25A

u came in and said you feel hot, I would ’you have a fever. T h at’s not what the :tnamese meant. They were having probis with their liver or stomach that was ising them to ‘feel hot.”’

Orsky discovered another cultural dif­ ence among her Asian patients. M any o f :m would immediately agree to whatever itm ent option she suggested, then not ow through with it. “Their culture uires that they be very polite, even sub­ dent to you,” Orsky explains. “So we 'e to be very aware o f that and make e we give them plenty o f choices.”

aud spirit,” Runesha says. “Because when there is an imbalance in those three, the person gets sick.”

Runesha says that once the ailm ent’s cause is identified, the patient and provider will “negotiate” a treatment. “In some cul­ tures, when an African goes to the hospital, when the doctor gives only pills, the patient will say, ‘How come you give me only pills?’ They believe an injection is stronger,” he says.

Runesha is w riting a program on cultur­ al competency for Vermont’s medical pro­ fessionals. It’s an involved and tim e-con­

mental illness. A nd in some African cul­ tures, a client’s interpretation o f what is causing a mental illness may be radically different from a westernized interpretation.

“We m ight see someone as being psychotic and they m ight view themselves as pos­ sessed by spirits,” Kelley explains. “T he challenge there is to keep their perspective in m ind while also trying to provide them with the best care we can.”

T he mental-health needs o f some refugees can be formidable for patient and caregiver alike. O n the day of our interview, for instance, Kelley had just met with a

')ne as being psychotic and they m ight view themselves rits. The challenge there is to keep their perspective in ' j to provide them with the best care we can.

CATHY KELLEY, \m ong some African refugees, the atties toward health and treatm ent can be te different. M uderhwa Runesha is :ctor o f the Office o f M inority Health he Vermont D epartm ent o f Health. A ive o f Congo, Runesha explains that the t contact a medical professional makes 1 a Congolese patient can be critically >ortant to gaining his or her trust. In culture, a doctor will take a lot o f time :ting patients and asking about their ilies and friends. Eventually, he says, Vget around to discussing the reasoru the visit. lunesha explains that this stems from a fasive cultural attitude that illnesses are >ed by forces outside a person’s body, i as a dispute w ith a family member, id or someone else in the community, is holistic approach is very im portant, ike into consideration the body, m ind

sum ing project, he says, because even w ith­ in a single country like Congo there are m any different cultures and attitudes towards health care, which vary not only by geography but also age, gender, class and education level.

care poses some unique challenges, tackling mental-health issues is even more daunt­ ing. C athy Kelley is the refugee clinician at the Howard C enter for H um an Services in Burlington. O ne o f the few mental-health professionals in Vermont who sees exclu­ sively foreign-born patients, Kelley points out that the stigma mental illness already carries in American culture can be even stronger in more traditional groups.

She notes, for example, that in Vietnamese there isn’t even a word for

Bosnian client who had lost 36 members of her family to .war. “It’s hard to imagine how to give that person some hope that they will be able to overcome this,” Kelley admits.

“But I think that what you try to do is just find some small ways o f supporting them .”

W ith other clients, she says, it can be hard to overcome their inherent fear or dis­ trust o f the medical profession in general.

Some refugees are afraid that if they are diagnosed w ith a mental illness, they will be deprived o f their basic freedoms or given a label that will haunt them for the rest o f their lives. Others, like those from former Soviet republics, may be inherently distrustful o f mental-health workers, espe­ cially if they or someone they know from their native country was interrogated or tortured by physicians or psychiatrists.

W hen it comes to receiving treatm ent, a refugee who has resettled am ong a very

small population o f native countrym en may be concerned about protecting his or her privacy. A client may show up for an appointm ent, only to discover that the interpreter is someone he or she knows.

Although interpreters are bound by the same rules o f confidentiality as clinicians, the client may still fear that his or her problems will be discussed with friends and neighbors.

But while it’s easy to assume that all new refugees are plagued with problems such as severe depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, Kelley points out that their most com m on complaints aren’t too different from those faced by the general population.

“Refugees also have to deal with issues like, ‘How am I going to pay the rent, how do I find a job when I don’t speak the lan­ guage, and what do I do about the fact that my children are more acculturated than I am and they’re losing the values that are im portant to me?”’ Kelley says. “These are all pretty complex issues.”

Likewise, Orsky at C H C is wary o f prop­ agating stereotypes about refugee health. As a physician-assistant who spends about half o f her time with foreign-born patients, she says that all too often the things she reads about new populations moving into the community prove to be untrue. Even health­ care workers themselves can jum p to conclu­ sions about the cause o f a patient’s ailment and overlook the obvious.

Orsky recalls one case she had several years ago when a young African m an who was attending a local high school came in com plaining o f exhaustion. H e was work­ ing two jobs, attending school full-time and, like m any teens, sometimes didn’t eat well. But it was natural to assume that, as an African refugee, he was suffering from depression, difficulty acclimatizing to Vermont’s winters or even a tropical dis­ ease. N ot so, says Orsky. “It turned o u t the kid had m ono.” (Z)

he Xercizer isn’t exactly a Medieval rack, but its appearance is highly suspect: a sort o f sliding rectangular platform about a foot off the floor, supported by four legs like a cot, with a spring-loaded metal framework underneath. There are straps for pulling, a baseboard for kicking, and two posts that keep your body from flying off it during use. Your head, I learned, goes between the posts.

Confused? T h at’s OK, so was I in my recent introduction to the rigorous, and increasingly popular, physical regimen called Pilates (pronounced puh-^A-teez).

T r* 1 T he three Xercizers at Core Studio in Burlington, which currently accommodate some 60 individual Pilates sessions a week, comprise only part o f the facility’s athletic arsenal. W hen owners Kathy Jaffe and Sherri Paquette opened the airy Battery Street facility last May, they brought more than 20 years o f personal training experi­ ence, and continue to offer that service at their by-appointm ent-only studio. But the majority o f their time is devoted to Pilates training — a niche that distinguishes Core as much as does the calm, non-gym envi­ ronm ent.

The folks at the Howard Center for H um an Services know a thing or two about that, and they’re hoping you’ll come out February 7 to put some o f that energy to good use. The Burlington nonprofit agency is sponsoring its second annual “Howard C enter Sunrise Spin,” an instructor-led cycling challenge to STORY raise money for m ental-health services.

KEN Like walkathons, bikeathons, quiltathons and other cough-it-upP IC A R D athons that have become ubiquitous to charitable giving, the “Sunrise Spin” is asking individuals (or teams o f four) to ride a stationary I MAGE M A T T H E W spinning bike for four hours and raise at least $200 per team. Last T H O R S E N year, the Howard C enter marshaled 30 participants who raised $3400. This year’s event will involve 100 bikes at four area locations: To sign up for the the Shelburne Athletic Club, Racquet’s Edge, Sports and Fitness second annual Edge, and Twin Oaks Sports and Fitness.

THE WRIGHT STUFF

: : l u t h e r w r i g h t a n d t h e w r o n g s created quite a stir a couple years back when

they recast Pink Floyd's psychedelic classic The Wall as a lonesome alt-country barn-burner. The Canadian group is back with its third album of original material, the kickin', twangin' Guitar Pickin' Martyrs. The disc is packed with teary ballads and raging rockers. Trot on down to Club Metronome this Thursday to catch the show. Locals The Middle 8 open.

THE MIDDLE 8, R EV ERB EP (Self-released, EP CD) Centered around three members of the Bolles family, The Middle 8 are a fairly fresh band in the area scene. They were initially called O h Jesus!, but the group got away from God and setded in with a new name and this gem of an EP. Siblings Dan Bolles (guitars/vocals/songwriting), Ariel Bolles (bass/vocals) and Tyler Bolles (banjo/vocals) form the core of the group.

Accordionist Michael Scott Duplessis and guitarist/vocalist/songwriter David Stockhausen round out the sound.

Ariel and Tyler Bolles have already made names for themselves playing with the likes of the Lazy Songwriter and Jim Daniels and Jim McGinniss, but the focus in Middle 8 is on brother Dan. W hile his vocals are more Morrissey than Merle Haggard, Dan proves to be a solid songwriter and a commanding front man.

Stockhausen, another Lazy Songwriter alum, shows his writing chops on two of the disc’s four cuts. The sound here is a sparse country-pop not unlike the sly songs o f early Wilco.

Tyler’s banjo notes bounce lightheartedly over strummed acoustic guitars.

“San Fransisco” (sic) is an unbelievably catchy romp with Duplessis and Stockhausen dueling with delicious guitar and accordion licks. Stockhausen’s “The Sun Always Shines” slows things down a bit with gorgeous melancholia. The hook of the chorus beautifully accentuates the song’s title. Though only a teaser of a disc, the R everb E P is an intriguing first effort from this young band.

The Middle 8 open for Luther Wright and the Wrongs this Thursday night at Club Metronome.

BURLINGTON

WOMENSING, WOMENSING (Self-released, CD) Womensing is an impressive a cappella sextet based in Addison County. The group has been performing around Vermont for years, including at Burlington’s First Night and the 20th Annual Champlain Valley Folk Festival. Their debut recording, a self-titled selection of 17 incredibly diverse songs, is a world tour, musically speaking. Its variety of music is a testament to the considerable world-music consciousness in Vermont.

Some of the group members have Chinese, Italian or French-Canadian roots, but music from those traditions is just the beginning. O n their disc, Womensing perform material learned from Sweet Honey in the Rock and Libana (two of the most famous and successful groups in “women’s music”), as well as songs from the Balkans, Macedonia, Colombia and Europe. “Ani Ma’amin” is a haunting melody from World War II-era Poland, with lyrics from the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides.

This may sound like a dizzying musical mish-mash, but the variety offered by Womensing somehow conveys positive energy and not confu­ sion. Here we are spared material registering high on the wimpiness quo­ tient — something too often found in contemporary women’s choral music.

No cutesy songs. No lightweight, quavery voices. No excessive reverb. No d jem b e. Just lots of shakin’ vocals and a committed groove.

The recording was made at Little Castle Studios, a stone cottage in the wilds of South Starksboro operated by acoustic-music veteran Horace Williams. Little Castle has a well-earned reputation for producing unadorned and “real-sounding” music, which is just what was called for to capture the ka-p o w ! of Womensing on stage.

I think it’s about time for a New England Folk Choral Summit, where we can hear all in one place Social Band, Emerald Stream, Femme M ’Amie, the Newark Balkan Chorus, Womensing, Village Harmony, Les Charbonniers de l’Enfer, and Robert De Cormier’s latest project — or whoever else is producing dynamic vocal music within 100 miles of Burlington. As Coope Boyes & Simpson, a stellar English a cappella group sing, it would definitely “raise the rafters.”

"The Other Sun," by Bruce MacDonald P H O T O

Marc Awodey

urlingtons Phoenix Gallery is beginning the New Year with a double-header exhib­ it by local artists Bruce MacDonald and Christopher Thompson on opposite walls — which are newly painted bright red.

Both men use metal in their works, but their techniques couldn’t be more differ­ ent. Both are abstractionists who tend to compose with geometric designs and rely heavily on textural effects. However, one has an almost precious aesthetic, while the other wears a “respirator, safety glasses and headphones with music blaring” while creating his works. Both artists also have scored wins in Burlington-based arts events in recent years.

MacDonald is the one accoutred in protective clothing when he “paints” — or, more accurately, grinds. One of his large-scale burnished-steel wall pieces won First Place in the 2003 South End Art Hop. Thompson received the 2001 Arts Alive Festival Award. He crafts small-scale encaustic paintings that often include gold leaf, twine, graphite and pigment embedded within layers of translucent wax and resin.

Thompsons 19 pieces in this show are divided into three series. His six encaus­ tics in the “Windows and Mirrors” group

Thompson’s encaustic is thicker than usual, which enables him to dig into the surfaces. “Windows and Mirrors #5” has a small, scooped-out rectangle just below the central, focal point of the panel. That rectangle has a black spiral of graphite within it. Gold leaf bands the lower edge of the piece, and concentric circles of jute twine are buried in the frothy layers of wax and resin.

The six paintings in Thompson’s “Excavations” series are darker and, as the title suggests, dig more extensively into the encaustic. As with the “Wind-ows and Mirrors” pieces, these are also 12 inches square, with the exception of #6, a hori­ zontal 12-by-24-inches. In his artist state­ ment, Thompson refers to an archaeologi­ cal process of rediscovery in his works.

“Excavations #4” has a bright orange and blue layer under the overlaying creamy encaustic top stratum. The lower level is exposed in five unevenly distributed, verti­ cal, hard-edged bands. There are also three untided pieces framed under glass in Thompson’s collection, and they include more gestural details that make the pieces less iconographic.

MacDonald’s 11 stainless-steel, twodimensional works also contain plenty of

gesture. He deftly wields an arsenal of burnishing and grinding tools that create mesmerizing, almost holographic effects on the metal. His is a seldom-seen, per­

haps singular technique for art making.

One of the most intriguing aspects of MacDonald’s work is its range of illusionistic effects. “The Other Sun” is a 45-by-57-inch sheet of steel with a cen­ tered sphere emblazoned by squiggles floating in the middle of the picture plane. If the image had been rendered in pigments it might resemble the later work of Richard Pousette-Dart, but MacDonald has limited himself to the visual effects of light falling on textures.

“The Other Sun” is more like a moon than a sun — its only color is reflected.

MacDonald’s largest piece in the show is entitled “Valentine.” At 45-by93 inches, the panoramic abstraction approaches the A b s tra c ts tz ion se Expressionism.. refer to Jackson Pollack dfril. as well “Valentine” is a field of rippling rhj spanning the surface of the “painting” from edge to edge. Broader strokes evolve into more effervescent tangles of texture toward a centered horizontal axis.

The vertical 62-by-57-inch “Triptych” is a traditional form executed in MacDon­ ald’s unorthodox technique. As in “Valen­ tine,” smaller strokes are concentrated toward the horizontal center of the image, but since the three panels of “Triptych” are vertical, its composition has greater ten­ sion.

Given the downsizing of the venerable Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Phoenix may be the only commercial gallery downtown capa­ ble of accommodating a body of large-scale work such as this one. In teaming Thomp­ son with MacDonald, its curators suggest that innovative works both great and small may find a home at the corner of College and South Winooski. ®

LO V E

Macy snaps a lifelon g losin g streak w hen th in gs heat up w ith Maria Bello.

n The Cooler, Alec Baldwin plays Shelly Kaplow, a Vegas casino boss who makes money the old-fashioned way: He preys on suckers, takes a piece of the hooker action, and smash­ es the occasional kneecap. It’s the beefiest role the actor has sunk his teeth into since Glengarry Glen Ross, and is one of the best things about Wayne Kramer’s impressive directorial debut.

William H. Macy plays the title character with his customary bug-eyed aplomb. Bernie Lootz is a sad sack whose loser vibe is so powerful it can turn other people’s luck around and make them losers, too. And, when he ran up a $100,000 debt at the secondtier, borderline seedy Shangri La, that’s exactly what Baldwin hired him to do.

After smashing his kneecap, of course.

The intriguing thing about Shelly is his blend o f ruthlessness and benev­ olence. As soon as he crippled Bernie, he paid to have him put back together and gave him a job. At the Start of the film, six years later, we see him offer­ ing to use his influence to get him a new titanium knee. There’s real friend­ ship between these two men. And it’s about to face a real test.

In one week, the period of time Bernie promised to work at the casino will have come to a close, and he wants out. Bad luck in a bottle is too valuable a commodity for a guy in Shelly’s position to let slip through his

fingers, however, so he pulls a few behind-the-scenes strings with the intention of keeping Bernie on a leash.

Enter Maria Bello as a jaded Shangri La cocktail waitress. At the behest of her boss, she strikes up a relationship with Bernie and lets it get serious in a hurry. He can’t believe his apparent good fortune, and the unex­ pected developments don’t stop there.

To her surprise, Maria finds herself developing real feelings for Bernie; to Shelly’s, Bernie undergoes a karmic transformation that turns him from a cooler into someone who radiates good luck wherever he goes. That gets expensive fast when he goes to work.

Shelly has other problems, too. The film has a parallel storyline that’s at least as compelling as Bernie’s. Shelly’s way of life is threatened when a group of investors arrives announcing their decision to install a business school upstart (Ron Livingston) to oversee sweeping modernizations to the casi­ no.

Shelly argues that the last thing the strip needs is another family Finland, that his place has continued to make money precisely because it’s remained old-school while the rest of Vegas has gone Disney. Unfortunately, these aren’t the sort of investors who hold meetings and take votes. Shelly realizes he’s up against a business plan he cant refuse and has to make up his mind whether or not to draw a line in the

Sands, so to speak.

Kramer weaves the two stories beautifully. The script, cowritten by Frank Hannah, is a jackpot of smart touches, on-the-money observations and dialogue so tough and snappy it could have been cowritten by David Mamet instead. Half fairy tale, half gritty mob film, The Cooler is like something Scorsese might’ve made while channeling Capra. It’s an experi­ ment that doesn’t always work as well as it m ighfrbut o«e,^Khich oever for a second feels fojm ul^c or recycled. For given us more of Macy the ng$ffiQ§p f loser and less of Macy the stud muf­ fin. And in a number of respects, the picture’s ending is dicey.

These are minor failings, though, and the film more than makes up for them with secondary characters so inspired and vividly drawn they deserve movies of their own. The few moments Paul Sorvino appears on screen in the role of a smack-addicted lounge singer, for example, rank among the most memorable o f his career.

The picture was a hit at Sundance, and Lion’s Gate is hoping its luck will hold through awards season. The odds look fairly long on The Cooler upset­ ting R eturn o f the K ing. Film lovers willing to ante up a couple hours of their time, on the other hand, can’t lose.®

n estimated 700 children with AIDS are dying each day in Tanzania. Coming to Say Goodbye, co-directed by Anne Macksoud and John Ankele, focuses on several heartrending stories that illus­ trate how the disease is decimating Africa. In Dar es Salaam, the capital city, an Irish physician named Brigid Corrigan muses that “statistics are num­ bers with the tears washed off them.”

Viewers may have a difficult time holding back tears during this docu­ mentary, which will screen at the upcoming MountainTop Film Festival.

Sponsored by the Peace and Justice Center, the event — at the Eclipse Theater in Waitsfield from January 15 to 22 — is slated to offer more than 25

“They don’t ask us to water [our work] down,” says Macksoud, 61, a native of northern New Jersey.

Unfortunately, Maryknoll’s budget problems mean that two recent projects

by Ankele and Macksoud have been self-financed. “We’re looking for finish­ ing funds,” she explains.

A completed Old Dog endeavor,

William Sloane Coffin: A Lover's Quarrel With America, profiles the 79-year-old civil rights advocate and peace activist now living in Strafford.

Vermont Public Television’s “Reel Independents” program will broadcast a sneak preview of the film at 10 p.m. this Friday, January 16.

“A lover’s quarrel” with America is

"A lover's quarrel" with America is how Coffin, a Presbyterian minister, describes patriotic dissent. cinematic explorations of compelling, contemporary issues.

The New York-based Ankele and Macksoud, a resident of Vermont’s Woodstock, are also the creative team behind Arms for the Poor, an expose of U.S. weapons sales to developing countries run by dictators. It’s on tap at the fest, as well.

The duo has been making films together since the mid-1980s; their com­ pany, Old Dog Documentaries, boasts 20 titles. Five of them are award-winners underwritten by Maryknoll Productions, the media arm of a progressive Catholic missionary organization.

how Coffin, a Presbyterian minister, describes patriotic dissent. Fie was chap­ lain of Yale University from 1958 to 1975. Near the end of his tenure, both Howard Dean and George W. Bush were students there. Coffin supports the presidential bid of the former and criti­ cizes the policies of the latter.

Macksoud, a former teacher, is also no fan of the current administration.

She is outraged by Bush’s attempts to stifle the voices of those who disagree with him: “He says, ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us.’”

Missing Peace, due for a spring release, addresses this schism. Macksoud

and Ankele interviewed six women — Muslims, Jews and Christians — who discuss how their respective faiths inspire them to resist warmongering.

Bush sees the planet as “a battle­ ground upon which the forces of good are confronting the forces of evil, a reli­ gious struggle of apocalyptic propor­ tions,” Macksoud suggests, adding that Islamic militants “are recruiting their fol­ lowers with a similarly inflated rhetoric.”

Both sides, she contends, consistent­ ly draw on “an archaic worldview.”

Meanwhile, places like Tanzania seem to be falling through the cracks.

Coming to Say Goodbye includes two young women with AIDS, twentysome­ thing Fatuma and teenaged Winfrida, who have subsequently begun receiving life-saving antiretroviral drugs from Dr. Corrigan. These medicines cost $350 a year per person, an impossible sum in such an impoverished land.

“We got $1000 to keep them on the medications after we sent out Christmas cards to friends,” Macksoud explains.

“An AIDS research scientist from Dartmouth College is delivering the money for us when he goes to Dar es Salaam this week.”

She’s angry that Bush “has not given out the paltry sum promised to fight global AIDS, but now wants to build a

permanent space station on the moon,” Macksoud says. “I’ll agree to that only if he mans it.”

The first lunar landing took place 15 months after the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The MountainTop Film Festival, which begins on the holiday weekend that marks his birth, will honor him by examining myriad human rights viola­ tions he certainly would have opposed.

According to Arm s fo r the Poor, for example, 100 million land mines world­ wide cause 500 (predominantly civilian) deaths or injuries every week. Apparent­ ly willing to wash away tears from those numbers, the U.S. refuses to ban the devices.

King approached social change from a spiritual perspective. So does ChungHyun Kyung, a New York City theology professor who appears in the same doc­ umentary. Her Eastern beliefs encom­ pass the notion of karma: “When you inflict so much pain and violence on the people in other countries,” she warns Americans, “it will eventually come back to your own family, your own neighborhood.”

THE PUZZLE

• As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in capi­ tal letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is?

(Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean or what's inside them.)

"Can Berra still catch as well as he talks?" they ask in AUSTRALIA. At hens' behest, cocks get their rocks off on the fertile farms of GREECE.

Mad? Rid yourself of those quirky demons and take a trip to SPAIN. Tun is a word that means a large container for wine or beer, even in TUNISIA. Bud, a pest and a prick, overstayed his welcome in HUNGARY. War saw some wrenching changes in the people and places of POLAND. Lon, don your bowtie and plaid skirt for a gay sojourn in the UNITED KINGDOM!

“Frisell is the most brilliant and unique voice to come along in jazz guitar since Wes Montegomery . . . [and] when pianist Mehldau plays, embers glow, then burst into flames.” (Stereophile) Guitar giant Bill Frisell and monster piano player Brad Mehldau explore the art of the jazz trio in a powerhouse double-bill. Frisell mixes jazz, blues, country, rock, and the avant-garde, finding the creative improvisation and joyful sense of play that connects them all, while Mehldau’s original works and gorgeous interpretations of the American songbook “achieve an almost spiritual resonance” (Time).

Back in the day, Fanny Allen used to make 200 of them to last her the whole year round — so said workshop leader Heather Zukowski. To demonstrate the importance of candles, Zukowski lit one, put it in a glass lantern, and asked one of the boys to turn off the lights.

She then invited the lone girl in the group to try reading aloud from a flyer about candles. The girl moved as close to

"Do we have to make purple candles?" whined one of the boys.

Zukowski explained that the color came from the bayberries that Ethan and Fanny would have used. The bayberries had a pleasant aroma. The kid didn't care. He didn't like purple. I knew he was thinking, "Why don't we just go to Yankee Candle?"

Beneath the biting humor, the Sara Pearson/Patrik Widrig and Company's work asks, "Why was Lot's wife punished?" and "W hat was her name, anyw ay?" The biblical story of Sodom and Gomorroah moves to a 1950s Brooklyn kitchen, where Lot's wife can't stop looking back at w hat happened.

SPELLBOUND Gregory Maguire has a thing about childhood classics. The Boston-based scribe started out writing kid lit, then began blending magical fiction and historical fact to produce fairytales fit for adults. His earlier works include Confessions o f an Ugly Stepsister, a reinterpretation of "Cinderella," and Wicked, The Wizard o f Oz told from the perspec­ tive of the Wicked Witch. In his latest, Mirror, Mirror, Maguire takes on "Snow White," connecting the infamous toxic apple with a prestigious Renaissance family's penchant for poisoning its foes. Add a septet of short men with names like Blindeye, Heartless, Gimpy and Tasteless for a story you can really sink your teeth into.

CAN YOU CLIMB MT. WASHINGTON ON

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, A story in last week's Seven Days began with the sentence: "When I spied the pile of free condoms and dental dams on a table in the Co-op's front hall, I knew I was in for a good time."

I get the reference to condoms, but my experience with dental dams has been strictly limited to the dentist's office — hardly a situation I'd describe as "a good time," as much as I care about my teeth. Am I missing something?

Puzzled in Plattsburgh Dear Puzzled, I f you're having cunnilingus with casual partners, you could be missing some important protection. Yes, dental dams are used in oral surgery. But they're also safer sex toys that can protect the mouth from infectious vaginal and anal secretions and prevent transmission of HIV. These 6-inch Latex squares come in various colors and tastes. A water-based lubricant — spread on the recip­ ient's side — minimizes slippage and maximizes sensation. For extra enjoyment for licked, the licker can create air bubbles. For extra entertainment for the licker, the outside of the dam can be spread with Nutella. Sound like more fun than a root canal?

Love, Lola

1 5 -2 1

A R IE S

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Aries actress Sarah Jessica Parker announced recendy that she washes her hair with Mane ’N ’ Tail shampoo, a product made for horses. I recommend that you consider switching to it, too. It’s time to please your inner thoroughbred, whose animal intelli­ gence and wild vitality will be essential to you in the coming weeks. You’re finally ready to activate higher levels o f ambition; to enter a bigger race for a better prize.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Lord ofthe Rings: The Return o f the King is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed movies released in 2003. Yet some of its fer­ vent fans have come forward to identify its many problems with continuity. Did you notice that Frodo’s scar migrates from his right cheek in one scene to his left cheek in a later scene? That’s just one of over 30 flaws registered by readers of the movie mistakes.com website. I applaud this effort.

I’ve always believed that the most useful critiques often come from people who deeply appreciate the subject they’re critiquing. This so happens to be your mandate in the com­ ing week, Taurus: Compassionately assess what needs improvement about everything you love.

G E M IN I

(May 21-June 20): My survey of New Year’s resolutions by Geminis reveals some surprising trends.

Twenty-one percent o f you have vowed to lose weight in 2004, but 26 percent of you hope to gain weight. Thirty-six per­ cent of you plan to launch a new hobby, whereas 58 percent want to get rid of one of your hobbies so as to have more time for the others. While 31 percent of you are plotting to supercharge your ambitions or career, 42 percent o f you are quite sure

you want to work less and cultivate more leisure and luxury. Finally, 16 percent of you want more “espresso sex” — quickies with casual 'acquaintances — while 69 percent have your hearts set on deep, slow, cozy love-making with emotionally intelli­ gent partners who crave cuddling.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The Weekly World News reports that U.S. President George W. Bush, the world’s most famous Cancer, plans to invade the moon and declare it the 51st state. To fill the office of the moon’s live-in governor, Bush intends to appoint his former foe Al Gore, who garnered 540,520 more votes than the President in the election o f 2000. In the weeks ahead, I urge you Crabs to come up with an equally nutty and brilliant strategy as you expand your empire to exotic new locales and shake off old adversaries.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Doctor Rob: I’m battling mixed emo­ tions. O n the one hand, I have frequent surges of intense compassion that make me want to build houses for poor folks.

O n the other hand, I’m beset by flashes of vanity that make me want to spend my money on Prada shoes and expensive jewelry rather than on trips to Third World countries to help Habitat for Humanity. Is it crazy and self-defeating to want both things? — Guilty Leo.” Dear Guilty Leo: You’ve summed up a dilemma that many Leos are wrestling with. My advice? H onor both your urge to express beauty and your desire to aid your fellow humans. I have a vision of you wearing a gold tiara and Prada’s Sculpted d’Orsay pumps as you frame a wall for a new house in Haiti.

V IR G O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I pre­ dict that 2004’s mysterious .gifts will free you from your old self. At least one of your inhibitions will disappear. Attacks of selfconsciousness will diminish in frequency and intensity. You’ll realize how fun it is to rebel against your antiquated image. The only new taboo you might take on is a taboo against imitating the overused shticks that have worked for you in the past. Because of these explosive improve- „ ments in your relationship with brash spontaneity, you may be ready to acquire your pom name. Here are two suggestions about how to generate the new moniker. 1.

Combine the name of your first pet with the name of the street where you lost your virginity. 2. Go to www.mypornname.com and follow the directions.

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): To frame your assignment this week, I’m plundering an old horoscope from The Onion (www.theonion.qom), America’s finest source o f news and entertainment.

“Even the mighty Ozymandias, king of kings, was brought low by time,” the scope read. “If possible, live your life without this mysterious phenom enon.”

To help you carry out this difficult but rewarding task, Libra, here are a few tips: 1. In your initial attempt, don’t overdo it.

Spend no more than three days eluding the oppressive grip of time. 2. Hide all clocks and watches. 3. Read historical novels and watch movies set in other eras. 4. Fantasize about what you were in your previous incarnations and what you’ll be in your future lives. 5. Meditate on Plato’s idea that “Time is a moving image o f eternity.”

S C O R P IO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “When in a doughnut-eating competi­ tion,” writes Esquire's Cal Fussman, “press down hard on each one before bit­ ing into it. If you don’t, the air inside will bloat your belly and you’ll get blown out after six.” I suggest you regard this as your metaphor to live by in the coming week, Scorpio. Squeeze out all the filler that might dilute your enjoyment of the really killer stuff. Don’t get bogged down in empty symbolism and vacant fantasies that wear down your competitive edge.

S A G IT T A R IU S (n„v M Dec. 21): In Greek myth, Psyche was a pure-hearted young woman whose misad­ ventures with love got her into trouble.

One day she found herself at the mercy of the goddess Aphrodite, who commanded her to sort a big heap of mixed millet, wheat and poppy seeds into separate piles.

You’re now in a situation that reminds me of Psyche’s predicament, Sagittarius. Is there any hope for you to complete your own version of this seemingly impossible task? Yes, there is — especially if you gar­ ner the kind of help that Psyche did.

Feeling compassion for her plight, thou­ sands of ants swarmed to her aid, separat­ ing the seeds for her overnight. Can you call on an equivalent ally?

C A P R IC O R N

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): You now have the power to design and implement a fresh version of fate for yourself. This window of oppor­ tunity won’t last long, though, so I sug­ gest you act with swift decisiveness. To guide your work, I offer two observa­ tions. The first is from Alan Kay, who conceived the laptop computer: “The best way to predict the future is to invent

it.” The second is my paraphrase of astrologer Hadley Fitzgeralds paraphrase o f Ram Dass: “O n the one hand, every­ thing is preordained. O n the other hand you have complete free will. W hen you truly grasp that paradox, you’re no longer a slave of your conditioning.”

A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian singer Justin Timberlake suffered a temporary blow to his reputa­ tion last November. Speaking to ABCT V ’s Diane Sawyer, his ex-lover Britney Spears implied that he is underendowed in a part o f his anatomy that most men take very seriously. It didn’t take long for Timberlake’s grandmother to come to his defense. “I helped raise him, and I can assure you that there’s nothing wrong with him physically,” 70-year-old Sadie Bomar told the press. I predict you will soon undergo a similar fall and redemption, Aquarius. Start rounding up the allies you will want to testify in your behalf.

P IS C E S

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Thinking outside of the box presupposes you were able to think in it.” This gem from automotive executive Bob Lutz sets the tone for your new plan of action, Pisces. In the coming week, you should concentrate on understanding your life’s long-term trends from an inside-the-box perspective. Stick closely to what you actu­ ally know, as opposed to what you might speculate or fantasize. Confine your analy­ sis to the data you can definitely confirm.

Starting next week, it’ll be time to think outside the box. Having prepared a strong foundation, you will have ensured that your imagination will provide useful visions when you finally unleash it. ®

BY MAR C R U IS IN G W IT H A C A R C R IT IC

S p e c ia l F X ime was when you bought an SUV to head out for the boonies and a look at the wildlife. Now the SUV is the wildlife — if you take Infiniti press materials at their word, that is. The dramatic styling o f two new FX sport/utes is Infiniti’s averred attem pt to design a “bionic cheetah.”

I like the look o f the FX; and I admire Infiniti for bringing it into the world. I don’t, however, believe that FX models — a V6-powered FX35 and a V8-powered FX45 — will appeal to all tastes. W hile there is m uch to applaud both on and under the surface o f this bionic cheetah, there are also some risible aspects more consistent with an anabolic armadillo.

“Yeah, I’d call it a cheetah,” chirps T he Wife.

“It’s jum py.” Translation: T he FX35 has a very sensitive throttle. There are 280 horses im patient to get going. So prepare to lurch a bit when you might rather roll gently forward from a stop.

The FX33 is available with two choices of powertrain: rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive. I drove the latter. Strenuous off-roading is out o f the question; but in all-weather circumstances, Infiniti’s AWD system is competent. There is computerized traction control. There is Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) that anticipates spin-outs hnd guides the FX35 back into line. A Snow Mode stops wheels from spinning on slick surfaces before they start — tacit acknowl­ edgment that the FX35 is, yes indeed, “jumpy.”

It is also sporty. For a vehicle standing five-anda-half feet tall, the FX35 corners admirably flat; and the all-independent suspension handles well.

W ith a curb weight o f 4215 lbs., the FX35 is lean amongst such peers as V W ’s 5,028-lb. Touareg or Acura’s 4510-lb. M DX. It’s tow-rated for trailers up to 3500 lbs.

My five-passenger FX35 was swathed with option­ al leather upholstery and brightened with brushedaluminum interior trim. Driver and front passenger sit comfortably in bucket seats, and the rear bench is

T

Mode; 280 hp/270 ft.-lb s.; mileage: 16 mpg/City, 22 mpg/Hwy w/premium; cargo: 27.4-64.5 cu. ft .; tow: 3500 lbs.; as-tested, w/ dual-zone HVAC, leather, Bose AM/FM/cassette/in-dash 6 -CD audio, 18-in. wheels, sunroof: $38,820.

wide enough for three adults. Beware the forehead, however. All those armadillo curves that make the FX35 such a head-turner from the outside render it a head-banger inside. W hen I pulled up to a drivethrough bank teller in the FX35, I bopped my fore­ head square into the center of the steeply raked A pillar as I reached for the pneumatic tube.

Despite a wheelbase some 112 in. long, this Infiniti’s cargo capacity ranges from 27.4 cu. ft. with the rear seatback erect to 64.5 cu. ft. with it folded.

It’s nice to be able to deploy that seatback with what Infiniti calls a “quick-flip remote fold-down release”; but the curved body styling consumes valuable stor­ age space. By way o f comparison, Acura’s M D X perches atop a 106-in. wheelbase, and yet its compa­ rable cargo numbers are 49.6 cu. ft. behind the second row and 81.5 cu. ft. with that row flat.

From a driver’s standpoint, the interior is a very pleasant place to spend one’s time. Great layout of switchgear; great climate control system; great optional Bose audio with six CD s in the dash and 11 speakers all about. Snug and smug behind the wheel, it somehow didn’t occur to me how bold Infiniti’s gamble really is; but my architect brother sized it up at a glance.

“W hat’s that?” he asked when he encountered the FX35. “Looks like a one-seater.” Well, no, I replied maybe a bit condescendingly; it’s a five-seater in a red-hot SUV market full of seven-seaters. “Like I said,” he repeated, “a one-seater. A guy who buys that doesn’t give a flip about who else is coming along for the ride.”

W hich spells out the matter nicely, I think. In a com m uter universe so rapidly succumbing to lookalike SUVs, the FX35 is Infiniti’s gamble to “keep it cool” for the guy who yearns to appear independent o f a trend he’s powerless to resist. ®

“Maybe you’ve heard about the GM Hot Button game on TV. Well, Shearer Pontiac is the place to play it.

“Here’s how it works. First, decide which you’d prefer to win: a Pontiac, Cadillac or Hummer. If it’s a Pontiac, for example, we’ll sit you in our designated Pontiac.

You’ll push the blue OnStar® button, and a live operator will tell you on the spot if you’ve won. Same goes for a Cadillac or Hummer.

“Your chances are best in a Pontiac. GM will be giving away 130 Pontiacs, six Cadillacs and two Hummers.

“So why not give it a shot?
