Where’s your fantasy island? I like to keep all my fantasies as reality. My fantasy island is St. John, and I get to go there in reality as well!

— Nell Soper Owner, Monelle Burlington

— Posie Curran Office, Sweet Tomatoes Burlington Som e sm all island off the co a st of Jam aica,

FOUR YEARS OF PROTEST I agree wholeheartedly with the letter “Wake Up, Oppression Ahead” [Weekly Mail, January 31] and would like to take this opportunity to speak out against the disturbing rightward trend, thereby adding my voice to the chorus... I would also like to announce that I personally am beginning a boycott of mainstream newspa pers, brought on in part because of the corporate ownership and resulting conflicted interests that you folks (especially Peter Freyne) have become so adept and accu rate in bringing to our atten tion... Let’s look at this: Kennedy (one of the most liberal and socially conscious presidents we’ve ever had) and his brother fought vehemently to protect civil rights, while Ashcroft, the new Attorney General, is a documented homo phobe and racist in a country that already ignores the problems of police brutality and racial profil ing. Now the police have a leader who condones it, as well as a media that we can always count on to look the other way. ...I would urge others to look, nay, search for discrepancies between what is reported and what is going on, because, make no mistake, the truth, especially when it comes to repression, isn’t

pretty. But it’s coming and it will not be televised or documented, because those we count on to tell the truth are of the same cloth as those who are too dishonest to call it what it is: ignorance, racism, homophobia and sexism. And so I close by urging others, in the words of Socrates, to ques tion, decide, do not simply obey. — Casey Walsh Essex FREYNE’S UVM FICTION Peter Freyne is always fun to read and he always has a good story to tell, but his presentation of relevant evidence in his column of February 7 [Inside Track] is partial at best. Freyne’s column offers rumor, innuendo and speculation about a battle between UVM’s President Judith Ramaley and Joan Smith, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. According to this account, Smith is somehow behind the petition of no confi dence in Ramaley [that was] being widely circulated among UVM faculty. As the person who wrote that petition and initiated its cir culation, I know something about what’s going on, and, as I told Freyne quite clearly, Smith had — and continues to have — nothing to do with it. I wish that when Freyne quot ed me as saying that Ramaley’s

values are “foreign to the College of Arts and Sciences,” he had quoted the rest of my sentence, in which I said that Ramaley’s values are foreign to much of the rest of the University, and in which I also noted that the petition is signed by many faculty members from outside the College of Arts and Sciences. Freyne’s Ramaley vs. Smith story makes for exciting reading, but it’s fiction, not fact. The issues which prompted the petition are about fiscal responsibility and aca demic quality, not about interper sonal (or inter-college) rivalries. — Hilary Kornblith Hinesburg REVIEW SELF-PUBLISHED BOOKS? I read with some interest your article on self-publishing [“Getting the Word O ut,” January 31], and as a self-pub lished author would like to make a few observations. Before embarking on self-publishing a quirky cookbook, Acts o f Living: A Cooking Journalfor the Culinarily Challenged, I did my homework, met with a literary agent, read every book I could on the subject and set out to print the most use ful “beginners cookbook” that I could. Recognizing that there were more than enough cook books out there, I felt that there

were features in mine that would make it a useful and unique addi tion to a crowded field. What none of the books told you, nor the agents or the associa tions, who, for a fee, will help the novice or the self-publisher, was that no one will review a self-pub lished book. Newspapers... and magazines have an unwritten rule that they won’t review self-pub lished books because an editor hasn’t stamped his/her imprimatur on it. Without reviews, it is very difficult to get publicity, and even paid advertisements are of little use if the public has not seen any other mention of the book in print. Perhaps Seven Days might want to distinguish itself from the pack by considering reviewing self-published books that have merit, and not assume that the lack of an editor’s imprimatur is the sole determining factor of a book’s value. — Ann S.

The Queen is Dead! Long Live the Queen! Farewell to her majesty, Judith R am aley, presi dent of the University of Vermont! As you know, Queen Judith was dethroned last Friday in an wellorchestrated palace coup. Despite her popularity off-campus — especially with Burlington Mayor P eter C la v e lle , who described current town and gown relations “the best-in history” — Queen Judith had several powerful enemies on campus. It’s never easy being the Queen. Today, Camp Catamount is steaming full speed ahead, without either a captain or a first officer. Course unknown. Vacant are the two top administrative offices of president and provost. Governor How ard Doan said plainly the other day the selection of the next UVM president will “make or break” UVM. The envelope, please! Among the names being bandied about already as candi dates for UVM Prez are those of P eter S m ith, M a d e le in e Kunin

and Joan S m ith (no relation to Peter). Peter Smith was a Republican state senator and lieutenant gover nor in the 1980s. He’s also the answer to the trivia question: “Who was the Republican con gressman B ern ie S anders defeated in 1990?” Mr. Smith is the founder of the Community College of Vermont. Currently, BY PETE he’s president of California State University, Monterey Bay. At least he wouldn’t have to change titles. .•Madeleine Kunin was governor of Vermont in 'the 1980s — the state’s first woman in that position ——and U.S. ambassador to Switzerland under B ill C linton . Queen Madeleine is currently teaching a political seminar at Middlebury College. An inter esting choice. And remember, the trustees used an ex-Vermont governor once before to plug the leaks in the UVM dike — Tom Salm on. Joan Smith is currently the dean of UVM’s College of Arts and Sciences, the largest college in the university. Even her critics describe her as a powerful, politically savvy major player on the cam pus that Ira A lle n founded. And Joan of Arc is fin gered by many faculty we spoke with this week as a leading player in the downfall of Queen Judith. Political Science Professor G arrison N elson has been teaching up at Camp Catamount for 32 years. He’s seen ’em come and he’s seen ’em go. Last week he told us the recently distributed faculty petition calling for a vote of no-confidence in Ramaley “had Joan Smith’s fingerprints all over it.” Smith denied it and insisted she and Judy had the best of working relationships. But Nelson and many others just laughed at Smith’s denial. “Basically,” Nelson told Seven Days Tuesday, “within three months UVM has witnessed the departure of the two senior administrators who locked horns with Joan Smith — Judith Ramaley and Provost Geoff Gamble [who left in December].” Nelson, Vermont’s leading political pundit since the 1970s, said that if Howard Dean weighs in on who the next UVM president is, Joan Smith will surely have a leg up. He points to the public sup port given Dean in last year’s election by Smith and her husband, P eter W elch . Mr. Welch was once a rival of Ho-Ho’s within the Democrat Party. In 1990 Peter decided to run for governor and lost to D ick S n e llin g . Ho-Ho decided to sit tight as lieutenant governor. Ten months later, Gov. Snelling keeled over from a heart attack while cleaning the pool at his Shelburne demesne. Dean ascended to the throne he’s clung to ever since, while Welch remains in the public eye as a personal injury attorney with spiffy TV ads. Mr. Welch was once a devout liberal with great ambition. But last year, Nelson charged, he “sand bagged” the liberals and Progressive candidate A flth o n y P o llin a and worked hard for Dean’s reelec tion. ^ , “The governor does owe Peter Welch,” said

Nelson, “for having sandbagged the liberals and escaping an election by the legislature.” Had Dean not broken the 50 percent threshold with just 50.4 percent, the governor would have been chosen by the legislature in January. So what really happened at UVM? Why was Judith Ramaley sacked? Good question. But as with most palace coups, the whole story may never be told, and even then, it requires a Shakespearian touch. We do know that last week the bearer of bad news to Queen Judith was B ru ce Lism an, chairman of the board of trustees and a senior mucky-muck at Bear Stearns, the giant inter national investment house. Lisman is a Burlington boy who graduated UVM in 1969. He found fame and fortune on Wall Street. Lisman’s relatives mn the well-established Burlington law firm Lisman & Lisman. (Coincidentally, that’s where Joan Smith’s daughter and Corey L a T u lip p e ’s attorney, M a ry Kehoe, landed after the hockey hazing lawsuit wrapped up. Small world, isn’t it?) According to sources, Lisman met face-to-face with President Ramaley on Monday, Lebruary 5. Cousin Brucie sug gested Queen Judy think about taking a powder by the end of June. The next day, Ramaley informed Lisman he should henceforth talk to her lawyer. Bing, bang, boom! Judy called his bluff. R FREYW E A trustees’ meeting was promptly called for Lriday, at which time Mr. Lisman demonstrated he had the votes to sack her. Queen Judith reluctantly resigned. She’ll get nine months pay and can keep driving the Jeep Cherokee until the lease expires. Lriday afternoon we asked Cousin Brucie if the “no confidence” petition making the faculty rounds the previous week had any impact on his decision to ask Judy to hit the road. “Nothing,” replied Lisman quickly. “It had nothing to do with it. Zero. Less than nothing. We had already made plans to be here this week. [The petition] had nothing to do with it,” he insisted again. “Absolutely, categorically, positively nothing to do with it,” said Lisman. “It played no part. No part. I want to be clear that it had nothing to do with it.” Okay, okay. We get the point. But might one suggest Cousin Brucie doth protest a little bit too much? This Tuesday, Joan Smith spoke to us by phone, but the conversation was, unfortunately, a very, very brief one — under a minute. Yours truly inquired if, as sources tell us, she had gone to New York City last month, met with Chairman Lisman and dis cussed the need to remove the Queen? “Absolutely not,” replied Joan. Her trip to the Big Apple was for “fundraising” purposes. Then she said, someone was “at my door. I’ve got to go.” End of conversation. Nice talking to you, too. According to university travel records obtained by Seven Days, Dean Smith flew Jet Blue to New York on Jan. 22 and spent two nights at the Park Central Hotel at Seventh Avenue and 56th Street in the heart of midtown. Upon arriving, she tele phoned the College of Arts & Sciences, her hus band’s law firm, and then made six calls to Carnegie Hall. The Cincinnati Orchestra was playing. Sources say Smith and Lisman met over dinner at Carnegie Hall with several financially endowed UVM donors. A faculty source said one of those donors told him, “The subject of the need to replace Ramaley was discussed.” Lisman, who is serving his last year on the UVM board, is said to have remarked, “I don’t want to be remembered as the chairman of the board who fired the president.” So sorry, Mr. Chairman. A dirty job, but some one had to do it. In an e-mail query to Joan of Arc this week, we asked for her reaction to Ramaley’s demise. “President Ramaley’s resignation,” wrote Smith, “is.a matter between her and the board of trustees.

WEE, MONSIEUR: When it comes to contemporary dance, German-based Tom Plischke is a whiz kid. He demonstrated that — literally — in a performance last Monday by urinating on stage at the Flynn. Plischke portrayed a benevolent but possibly addled innocent in a solo piece that, according to the program, concerns “coping with being in the world.” It was one of two works present ed in a show of new dance from Germany and Canada. Local dancer Sarah BrutZFTian watched from the front row as the articu late young choreographer ran through dramatic falls, repetitive motions and quotidian gestures, such as combing his hair. But none of it prepared her for the moment he came downstage with a look of nonchalance — “like he was waiting for a subway” — and drained the main vein. “It was apparent there was no mistake, so we sort of went along with it,” she recalls. “At the same time it was like, ‘W hoa.’” Plischke went on to dance in the wet spot before dropping trou, wiping down his legs and changing into a new pair of pants. Granted, it’s not public blood-letting, which has also been done on stage, but still somewhat shocking for sit-down audiences in Burlington. “This is the second time someone has pissed on our stage, but at least the last artist had the courtesy to do it in a buck et,” artistic director Awi6 Malina jokes — a good-natured refer ence to a past performance by the Montreal-based Compagnie Marie Chouinard. Calling Plischke “a thoughtful young artist,” Malina concedes that although his public pee made the audience uncomfortable, it also elicited empathy from the crowd, as intend ed. And a certain amount of wonder too. “It’s hard enough just going to a urinal,” Malina offers. “You know, some people are what they call pee shy.’” Apparently they are timid about speaking their minds, too. During the post-performance question-and-answer period, not a single person asked Plischke about his unexpected artistic “accident.” Nor did anyone make the connection between his trickle-down effects and the sponsor of the show: HydroQuebec. IN BRIEF: New Yorker cartoonist Ed K0F6I1 was hot for a spot in the movie State and Main. Especially when director David Mamet offered him the part of a volunteer fireman — Koren is on the force in Brookfield. But prior job experience didn’t make the “extra” experience any less time-consuming. Koren and his wife, Curtis Ingham, made three trips to Massachusetts, where the film was shot. “I was a virgin extra. I mean extra virgin,” Koren says, noting the “Friend of David” status gave him a great view of the set. It’s too late to catch the movie in theaters here. But you can see the mustachioed Koren, along with a bunch of other central Vermonters — including Ingham, Charlotte Potok, Rick Levy, Alan Soule, Chris Kalder, Roy Levin, Morris LaMour and Emma Norman — when it comes out on video . . . Fundraising takes a lot of faith — and even some prayer — but it’s still hard to imagine a “liturgical arts consultant” as development director of Burlington City Arts. Fifty-eight-year-old Ray Rapp is a former seminarian who authored the book of original musical compositions that led to the creation of the contemporary Christian “folk mass.” Someone’s listening. On Tuesday, City Arts got word of an anonymous $250,000 gift to support the $2.3 million capital campaign to reno vate the Firehouse Gallery . . . Burlington guitarist Paul Asbell comes from good folk. His father, who died two weeks ago, was buddies with Pete Seeger and wrote “some quite good songs,” as" Seeger phrased it in The New York Times obituary. Eventually, he turned from writing rnusic to writing best-selling books about poli tics and government — 12 titles that include When F.D.R. Died and The Pill: A Biography o f the Drug That Changed the World. The elder Asbell taught at Yale, Clark and Penn State, but never earned a college degree. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno spoke at the memorial service, and Paul played . . . It doesn’t seem like a shock ing topic for a dance performance. But Annette UrbSChat of Burlington vows that “faces fall” when she tells people she is mak ing a piece about divorce. The first recipient of a Flynn “space” grant, Urbschat is translating what she calls “the most profound trauma you can go through, short of death,” into a stage show. A lot of “stages,” actually, including anger, depression, denial, bargain ing and acceptance. The working title, Horse Divorce, came from a 4-year-old in a daycare center who made up the rhyme on her own. “I had a really profound reaction to that,” Urbschat says . . . Speaking of courtroom drama, busted broker Dana Giacchetto was sentenced to 59 months in prison last week for ripping off a slew of celebrity investors, including Phish. The Daily News reported last year the Vermont-based rock band had recouped its $4.7 million loss. But another article last week put Phish on a $9.9 million pay back list that’s part of Giacchetto’s punishment. The official word from Phish managfer John PalllSka? Still “no comment.” (7)

As a teenager, X,...V Jr the Charlotte native f .# / spent two summers in an ^ ..« • ' apprentice program with the Champlain Shakespeare Festival, once an annual event on the University of Vermont campus. Her responsibilities during a production of Hamlet were more mundane than going mad for love of a forlorn Danish prince. She could only fantasize. “It was my job to make Ophelias flowered wreath,” Kiley says, recalling how she went out to pick daisies on the UVM lawn during evening rehearsals. “I was her, a waif with long blond hair down to my ass.” With hair just below her shoulders three decades later, the Burlington actress is still waif-like, but she’s undergoing a matronly mid-life crisis in Shirley Valentine. Kiley will bring her one-woman show, a hit play by Willy Russell that became a 1989 film, to the FlynnSpace in Burlington next week. “The storyline really hit me in the gut,” she says about her first encounter with the script for the comic drama about a year ago. “It’s about a woman coming back to herself.” This is a concept Kiley understands — she abandoned the thespian life altogether a dozen years ago to raise three kids and launch a second career as a psychothera pist. On a recent Saturday afternoon, Kiley seems indeed to be “coming back to her self” while rehearsing Shirley Valentine in the basement of the Old Brick Church in Williston. She is thoroughly immersed in the role of a disillusioned Liverpool housewife whose dreams and nightmares are revealed through her engaging mono logue. Sipping wine and frying eggs, Kiley’s protagonist talks to the kitchen wall the way Tom Hanks, as a FedEx employee who survives a plane crash on a deserted island, talks to a volleyball in the movie Cast Away. This dramatic device allows inanimate objects to become alter-egos, off which a solo character can bounce his or her thoughts. The island Shirley is “stranded” on — Great Britain — may be populated, but her unwanted solitude is palpable in the midst of a stale marriage. “I always said I’d leave him when the kids grew up,” Shirley says. “By the time they grew up, there was nowhere to go.” Well, not quite. She does bop off to Greece in the second act, a trip that sparks adventure and the emotional arc necessary for change. /

race Kiley comes from a family that might have inspired a TV sitcom like “Eight is Enough.” One of eight children born to Anne, a short-story writer, and Dan, a worldfamous landscape architect, she grew up in the chaos of an ever-expanding Charlotte homestead. “My father kept renovating each time he had a new vision,” she says of the old farmhouse that wound up “looking more like a big ship or something.” Kiley and her best friend Sara Bridgman “always played witches” in neighborhood theatricals mounted under a carport. Three of the five Kiley boys formed a rock group, The Bushmen, that competed in “battle of the bands” events and recorded a single that hit the top of the charts — in Burlington, anyway. One of her older brothers, Chris, had a 16-mm camera. Together they em barked on short cinematic experiments that were “a little Bergmanesque,” Kiley says, in the manner of the Swedish film maker who created such poetic master pieces as The Seventh Seal.

a state then boasting more cows than peo ple and no Interstate highway system. Apart from a role as the mother in a student performance of Our Town, Kiley says she felt alienated at Champlain Valley Union High School. She dropped out at age 16, but that Ophelia-envy summer had transformed her. “I wanted to go to New York and study acting,” she says. “I was passionate. I had to go.” T hat’s exactly what happened when she turned 18. Fresh from a rural Vermont upbringing, in the late 1960s Kiley moved through a succession of Manhattan apart ments and waitressing jobs that supported her alternative educational goals. Told that Uta Hagen — a veteran of stage and screen — was the best teacher in town, Kiley auditioned for her by performing a scene from Member o f the Wedding, a Carson McCullers tale about a lonely ado lescent in Georgia. “I worked on the piece so deeply that I could feel the hot Southern night and smell the air,” Kiley says. “Five minutes into it, Uta said, ‘Excellent!’ I was stunned.” She walked out onto a Hudson River pier and cried. She recalls, “I hadn’t had anyone other than my family acknowledge my talent before that.” For the next five years, Kiley studied off and on with Hagen, her mentor ever since. In a city brimming with opportuni ties, she appeared in the occasional small play; Federico Garcia Lorca’s Blood Wedding was one. She even auditioned to become an off-Broadway Ophelia, but, at age 20, was told that particular Hamlet needed a younger waif. During this period, Kiley was on a family vacation in Ireland, bicycling near Dingle, when a policeman signaled to was time to get a real job — something I them. “He was looking for me. My agent could do as the mother of small children. I had tracked me down,” Kiley recalls. “We felt I had to turn my back on acting.

are both interested in authenticity, in hav ing an actor reveal something about him self or herself rather than putting on a facade.” It’s Kiley’s matter-of-fact movements in a scene — what actors call “little bits of business” — that distinguish her approach to inhabiting a role, “She’s more absorbed than I am in the physical world of the character, the, sets and props arid cos tumes,” Nash says. '

etails are key in Shirley Valentine. Wearing a flowery apron that matches the kitchen curtains, Kiley bustles around a convincing set built by her second husband and production coordinator John Duncan, a Williston Central School social studies teacher. Tea time, a sacred daily ritual in English homes, torments Shirley even as she pre pares to do it once again -—her hausfrau instincts are at war with the freedom from convention that she desperately covets. Quotidian activities are crucial in oneperson plays, because it’s essential to build as much action as possible into what is otherwise a stream of consciousness. After rehearsing the first act, Kiley asks her young stage manager for feedback. “It was flawless, except that you forgot the tea bags and the milk,” judges Erin Evarts, a 17-year-old high school senior from Shelburne. „ Kiley’s own intensity contributes to the dramatic impact of the proceedings. The film version is played for big laughs, but she has tried to emphasize the underlying sorrow that gives comedy its punch. Shirley’s suffering is often expressed in amusing anecdotes and observations. In remembering an attempt to have a frank sexual discussion with her husband, Joe, she reports on his oblivious reaction to the word “clitoris.” It must have sounded like some sort of automobile model, Shirley tells the kitchen wall, because Joe indicat ed that he prefers a Ford Cortina. With help from three consultants,

ence applauded. “I would think, ‘I’m sup posed to feel good about this?’ I tell my students to take a breath after an emotion al scene and blow it away.” W hen Shirley Valentine gets a bit tipsy from all that wine-sipping, Kiley has to figure out just what kind lation Behind my she should mimic. “For eyeballs. My posture '* tfid everyn. » thing about me is In her kitchen, t acter listens to a b la ^ '^ lte T iro a d c a s t; is serenaded by music, including classic songs such as “I Wanna Hold Your H and,” by The Beatles. This background “score” was assembled by sound technician Don Dresser. The lyrics to one of the songs, Petula Clark’s “Downtown,” evoke a long ing for the heartbeat of a vibrant city. In this frame of mind, Shirley’s Greek odyssey assumes epic grandeur as an escape from the anger and sadness of a life not lived to the fullest. She longs for the romantic fulfillment she imagines might be found along pristine Mediterranean beaches. For her part, Kiley’s longing for an acting life meant she had no choice but to return to her real calling. That choice has begun to pay off. Last year, she toured in the Center Stage Company’s A Bridge to Terabithia. After performing in a few short films, Kiley had three bigger jobs: She was Charlotte Rampling’s ski double in Signs and Wonders, an independent film that opened in New York last week to mixed reviews. She was a stand-in for Michelle Pfeiffer on What Lies Beneath, the Robert Zemeckis thriller shot in Chittenden and Addision counties in the fall of 1999. Last year, Kiley had a meaty part in the as-yet-unreleased indie flick, Dress Like a Hitman, filmed in Hyde Park and other locations. Perhaps it’s inevitable that Kiley is also making a comeback, so to speak, in the Big Apple. “My daughter Ariel and I will get an apartment together in the city,” she reports. “For me, it’ll be a place to land. I’m ready to find an agent and do some auditioning.”

The goal is to become your characters rather than merely acting like them.” — Grace Kiley a

Shirley Valentine has been essentially a selfdirected effort by Kiley. “I loved the idea of envisioning it, making it mine,” she confirms. “What a challenge. This approach takes you on an incredible jour ney, and it’s not cute.” The most searing reverie is Shirley’s recollection of the early years in her mar riage, when it was still fun and freewheel ing. The fleeting glimpse of joy is eclipsed by her bitterness at being taken for grant ed. Kiley has tears in her eyes when she rehearses this sequence. “The goal is to become your characters rather than merely acting like them,” she later points out about a technique derived from Stanislavski’s method acting. Yet it differs in that “you don’t reflect on your own past while you’re on stage. You have to know who you are emotionally, physi cally and intellectually, but then you become the person in the play,” Kiley explains. “You’re living the moment, so the audience experiences a moment in them selves. You are a conduit for that immediacy. It’s an endeavor that “makes you more vulnerable,” Kiley adds. “You can’t pre tend, you have to be there. You can’t jump in by the seat of your pants.” Vulnerability can be tricky. W hen she was required to cry at the end of Tally’s Folly, Kiley remembers, she sometimes found herself astonished when the audi-

Ariel, 19, has been lucky so far in her fledgling career as an actress. O n February 28 she’s scheduled to appear as a hippie on N BC’s “Law & Order,” and will be a fea tured player in an April episode of “The Sopranos” on HBO. • Kiley’s 13-year-old son, Galen, is also in love with movies. Her 21 -year-old daughter, Leda, is studying visual art and sociology in London. Kiley has two projects in mind for the coming year. She’s like to do The Novelist, a play about Jane Austen based on a book by Howard Fast. And she’s writing a screenplay, North Corner, a love story about an older couple, which she hopes to act in this summer — “if I can get the money and the crew together to make it.” T hat’s a big if, of course. But, much like her character Shirley Valentine, Kiley believes her time has come. Again. All dues are long since paid. “W hat’s stopping me? Nothing. I tell myself, ‘W hy not?’ I just want to do the things I want to do,” she insists with the seasoned determina tion o f a grown-up. waif. “Shirley goes to hell and back,” Kiley says. “It’s a universal theme. Everybody goes to hell and back for a second chance. T hat’s how you find your true self.” ® Shirley Valentine opens February 22, 8 p.m ., at the FlynnSpace in Burlington.

Colchester residents Buddy Veino and Doris Coltrain were originally married in 1950, but divorced two years later. Each of them later remar ried, divorced, remarried and divorced again. Now, with 50 years of practice — and, apparently, of miss ing one another — the two reunited after Buddy sent Doris a tape of Ronnie Milsap love songs. It was an innocent and impulsive gesture — Buddy, divorced, thought Doris was still married — but effective. “I played it over and over,” Doris says. “I kept wonder ing what he meant by it.” That became clear when next they met: Buddy swept her in his arms and showered her with kisses. The billing and cooing has been progressing ever since. “People say they act like a couple of teenagers,” according to the couples daughter from the first time around. They haven’t tied the knot yet — at 69 and 71, they’re approaching the institution of marriage with less urgency. But when they do, chances are it will be a keeper. — Colchester Chronicle, February 1 r n j a v y

Crabs, Not Cupids The opposite of love isn’t hate so much as peevishness, suggests Tom Kenyon, the town correspondent for West Windsor. People are getting cranky, he says: “This is the time of year when you really have to go out of your way to be unexpectedly nice to family and friends and neighbors. For example, I have not said one bad thing about the town of Windsor for several weeks now.” — Killington Mountain Times, February 8, The Vermont Standard, January 25

Doing the Rite Thing

Plenty went wrong when the Western Rite Catholic Church set up camp in the town of Craftsbury, and the saga continues. Former church spokesperson Alfred Deleo was finally arrested in Greensboro on a Florida warrant for indecent assault on a child. Deleo left Vermont after the charges sur faced, vowing to turn himself in and clear his name; the rest of the church members left soon after, unhappy about the town’s cool reception to their idea that the church set up a local police department. They were also unable to make good on a real-estate transfer, despite several con tract extensions. The Archbishop, Bruce Simpson, o ^ a id gave everyone an earful about the Green Mountain State on his way out, saying the Florida charges were all part of a cam paign to get the church out of tn o w n ] Craftsbury. Since then, the FBI and < U.S. marshals have tracked Deleo to various states; a recent phone tip indicated he had returned to the Northeast Kingdom. A double handful of federal and local law enforcement people turned out to make the arrest, since there were rumors that Deleo was ready to put up a struggle. “Fugitives,” declared Vermont State Police Detective Sergeant J.P. Sinclair, “can be unpre dictable.” In the end, Deleo decided to go quietly, thus’ending this peculiar melo drama just a few miles from where it began. — Hardwick Gazette, January 31

In Need of a ‘C e ll’ Phone? Three days after filing his petition to run for the Middlebury Select Board, Drew Campbell was arrest ed on an arson charge — this after a year-long insur ance investigation revealed that his involvement in a fire on Happy Valley Road was not accidental. Police claim that after an evening of drinking, Campbell and a friend, Dennis Dunn, went poking around a house under construction. Things got a lit tle out of hand — their homemade torch kept drip ping bits of flame onto the floor — and the two started several small fires that they managed to stamp out. Then, seizing on the rather murky idea that they now needed to “destroy the evidence,” they allegedly set fire to a pile of insulation that went up with a whoosh. Police say the pair then took off, “hearing an explosion of propane tanks” behind them. There is no word yet on whether Campbell will stay in the race. His name will appear on the ballot, but he’ll have to campaign from the correctional cen ter in Rutland, where he is being held for lack of bail. — Addison County Independent, February 5

SEVEN DAYS

february 14, 2001

he readily admits he’s also a fan of regular showers and the clean sheets at Best Western. Plenty of other Phishheads stay in motels along’ the way, too, of course — and Gibbon eventually discovers that poolside is a good place for chatting them up. But as a mem ber of the relatively wellscrubbed flank of fans, he is both separate from and fascinated by the unwashed masses. And, after all, their clotted dreadlocks, sweat-and-patchouli odor and placid tolerance of camp condi tions make for colorful copy: I steer clear o f the breakfast burritos. 'I ’m trying to eat as little as possible at Oswego in a serious effort to avoid Porta Potties, which are indescribably awful even with the tanker guys working around the clock. A friend o f mine had a terrible experience in one. He ate some mush rooms and then a little while later he stepped into a Porta Potty. It was over flowing, he said, but he had already start ed, you know, too hard to stop. So he said to himself, Stay calm, a few more seconds... he walked out, took a deep breath, and projec tile-vomited in the direction o f a garbage can. Run Like an Antelope is written in first person and is at least as much about Gibbon’s per sonal likes and dis likes as the fans he watches. As a reporter, he’s almost too self-referential, espe cially in the beginning before you know or care who he is: a journalist, former managing edi tor at Vermont Magazine, and squash teacher whose students include Phish keyboardist Page McConnell. A stricter editor might have suggested a tighter lead, for example, than this: Time to get this thing started. I ’m on the roadfor a month, fo l lowing Phish, living with the fans in campgrounds and motels fo r the summer tour. Twenty shows in thirty days. The idea is to write from the inside out, the crowd’s perspective. The Phishheads. The traveling cult. The whole scene. The book deal went down in the last week or two and the contract isn’t hammered out ju st yet. My agent assures me everything is in the works. Check’s in the mail. It gets the idea across, but this paragraph is just the begin ning of a slow build-up to the tour itself, and it signals a self absorption that is sometimes mildly annoying. Gibbon himself says it a few pages later: I ju st need to get this trip started. I feel like I ’m on a team that’s made the playoffs and I ’m sitting around the locker room waiting fo r the game to begin, thinking too much, won dering what’s going to happen. So

does the reader. About mid-way through the book, though, it begins to feel like Gibbon’s writing style, con sciously or not, mirrors the expe rience and rhythm of being on the road. A sense of wonderment throughout. Copious attention to the mechanics of traveling. Exasperation when he thinks he can’t take it anymore: the heat, the sleeplessness, the sheer bore dom of waiting in lines — and anxiety when he eats some superpotent brownies, which land him in an emergency room and dis courage him from doing any more drugs the rest of the tour. Some of a parent’s worst fears will be verified by this book: Drugs of all kinds are abundant and, at the larger concerts, are as

out-in-the-open as the ubiqui tous grilled-cheese merchants. For many fans, selling drugs is what enables them to go on tour in the first place, and their underground micro-economy is a given. On the other hand, the Phish crowd, according to Gibbon, generally lives up to its peaceful, happy, childlike reputa tion. Later in the summer, and the book, when he hears reports of Woodstock ’99 — the riots, the arson, the rapes — the con trast with Phish shows comes into sharp relief. It’s ostensibly the music that lures and rewards Phish fans, but for all Gibbon’s generous descrip tions of the scene, he gives the actual concerts surprisingly short shrift: Tonight’s show is a damn good one— one o f the best on the tour, is a typical summary. Could be in part because he and his var ious touring companions miss some of the shows altogether, either from backed-up traffic or simply getting lost. O r perhaps Gibbon takes the fans’ raison d ’etre for granted and assumes the reader will, too. When he finally does share a concert expe rience — dancing to the song that is the book’s title — it’s everything you’ve ever heard about: A t this point you’re really mov-

mg. I mean, you can barely keep up with their pace. You feel like a goddamn antelope. Antelopes are fast mothers. Drenched in sweat, loose, limby, you can dance better than you ever thought you could. Really groovin', rubbery. A nd you're not dancing with anybody in particular. No partner to accountfor, so you can let it rip. In this moment at a show there's almost nothing in the world I'd rather be doing. Gibbon conveys with awe the “ferocious energy” that even skinny, underfed Phishheads muster for a show, dancing as if their lives depended on it. And at that moment, perhaps they do. “The music,” he writes, “is a bolt of life for Phishheads.” Even so, there’s a higher level of meaning for most of these young fans, and Gibbon, despite his reticence to actually interview people, finds it again and again. Touring is a stress reliever; it’s a chance to be a clown with bells on your head; it’s an opportunity to trade stories, to be part of a community, he’s told. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity for a sense of connectedness that is all too rare in today’s world: I mean, it is an adventure. A nd there's something old-fash ioned about it. We have nothing to do with computers out here, noth ing to do with television, or the World News Tonight, or profession al sports. We’re out here on the highways, a gang o f cowboys— road cowboys with rest areas for watering holes. We p u ll up in our dusty rides, step out stiff-legged from the journey, nod to one another, and talk about life on the road. Where else in American life can you fin d this? Is anyone else doing this, living with a cult on the road, traveling the nation’s interstates, beating drums as they

go? Not since the last decade’s Deadheads, no. And the acid dropping Merry Pranksters before that. Gibbon, pushing 30, admits he may now be “getting too old for this,” too. For their legions of loyal fans, Phish have “tapped a nerve in America,” he trumpets. For those of us who have not been tapped, or are too ancient or too busy to make the trip, Run Like an Antelope may prove to be an engaging second hand fantasy — or a validation of those day jobs.

rWrful Conservative B y P aul Orgel veryone loves Carmen, including me. A perfecdy balanced mixture of comic, exotic and tragic elements, there is not one slack moment in the drama or the music. Carmen is a symbol of passion, a powerful seductress whose fate is to die, not by being dragged off to Hell by avenging spirits or in order to redeem a man — the frequent and offensive function of women in Wagnerian opera — but from the consequences of the deranged passion she provokes in one of her conquests, the soldier Don Jose. Jose, on the other hand, is naive, a victim. He is a symbol of the powerlessness of all men in love, beyond reason or control. The complexity of Carmen and Don Jose is offset by a pair of two-dimensional characters, Micaela and Escamillo. Micaela, whom Joses mother would like him to marry, is a sympathetic

goody-goody representing the conventional path from which Jose strays. Escamillo, the preen ing bullfighter, stands for pure machismo. We imagine that he could stand up to Carmen. The chorus is also an impor tant presence here, participating in and commenting on the drama. Carmen is fast-paced and often compelling — one reason it appeals to people who may not otherwise like opera. But the main selling point is the music, which is a miracle. From start to finish, Carmen supplies a series of inspired tunes, immediately accessible and inexhaustibly enjoyable. There are the “greatest hits,” known to anyone who has ever viewed a Bugs Bunny car toon: the overture, the “Habanera,” the Toreador song. And who could forget the alter nate lyrics, “Toreador, don’t spit on the floor?” Then there are the slightly less familiar but equally great

Seguedilla, Gypsy song, Flower song, etc. Two that are some times overlooked are particular favorites of mine: the funny, quicksilver quintet in Act II, and Carmens song with castanets, which the composer combines so effortlessly with the bugle call of Don Jose’s regiment to create a definitive portrait of the two characters. Nothing in Georges Bizet’s several earlier operas hints at the consistency of what he created in Carmen. Perhaps his music is a “miracle,” too, because we know that he would die soon after composing it, at age 37. The Flynn was full last Friday night with an audience present not because they had heard of any of the performers but simply because it was Carmen, and they gave the London City Opera the benefit of the doubt. The crowd was a cross-section of regular

forced into competition with others in our memory, or on our favorite recordings at home. We think we know how we want each character to sound. One of the thrills of opera-going, there fore, is to have our preconcep tions changed by a new and unexpectedly exciting singer. I confess that when I ventured to Carmen at the Flynn, it was with fairly low expectations and a not entirely open mind. Act I: The music began to cast its expected spell. I took note of the cast’s youth and the generally pleasing quality of all of the singers in minor roles, noting also the very Britishaccented French, Captain Zunigas music sounding more like Gilbert and Sullivan than usual. Tenor Bradley Daley, singing Don Jose, seemed to be having some vocal problems. I hoped that he would overcome them, which in fact he did, but not until late in Act II, when his upper range took on added vol ume and ring. For the record, Martin Higgins’ Escamillo had an attrac tive baritone voice that didn’t project particularly well, perhaps as a result of less-than-perfect breath control.

Pamela Wilcox, a definite asset to the performance as Micaela in her “jupe bleue,” sang with a pure and unaffected high soprano, although some of the climactic high notes in her Act ' III aria showed signs of strain. And then the pleasant sur prise: 28-year-old Louise Poole as a young, lithe Carmen with a healthy, focused and genuinely beautiful voice. She did not erase memories of Callas or Crespin — or even the current Russian mezzo, Olga Borodina, a formi dable Carmen on the previous week’s Met broadcast. Yet Poole brought something memorable to the part; a fine ability to sus tain long phrases, and a sensu ous, even tonal quality through out her full vocal range. Poole was a refreshingly cool Carmen, using her well-schooled English voice, a refined and unforced mezzo-soprano, to avoid the histrionics that some times substitute for singing in this role. From the first few notes of the “Habanera,” the audience could relax, knowing it was in for a Carmen worth watching and listening to. The touring Londoners brought us a modest, traditional ly staged production. Thankfully they did not change the Spanish setting to a condominium in Cambodia, and did not re-interpret the plot from the point of view of Don Jose’s grieving mother, or the bull slaughtered -offstage. Providing line-by-line | -f translations, supertitles projected above the stage were clear and helpful and only occasionally descended to the level of the incomprehensible, as in: “And there leading the march is the ugly alguazil. Down with him!” There were some nice staging touches, as in the ceremonious dressing of the bullfighter during the prelude to Act IV. Ditto the costuming. Carmen sported a stunning, light-orange dress in the same act. There were also a few miscalculations: Shouldn’t Carmen be sitting with her friends and looking carefully at the cards to learn of her fate in Act III, instead of singing to the audience? And doesn’t Don Jose need to physically prevent her from leaving when she cries, “Laisse-moi passer!” in Act IV, instead of standing at another side of the stage? To those of us used to the opulent sound of recordings, the orchestra — small, underpow ered, but with spirited tempos set by conductor John Beswick — took some adjusting to. However, this does not explain why the otherwise respectful audience chose to talk through the wonderful entr’acte preceding Act II. Overall, the Flynn proved to be an excellent hall for opera — only slight amplification was used — and the London City Opera’s Carmen was a success. I hope that the Lane Series will bring this company back, and that the audience was sufficiently seduced by the experience to return, even for a less tried-andtrue work. In a perfect world, there would be a different opera at the Flynn every week. ®

Burlington’s newest

cafe blends coffee and communications By Kristin D’Agostino nyone peering into the new coffee shop on the corner of Pearl and North Winooski Avenue might pre sume from all the cappuccino-sipping, chess-playing, journal-scribbling patrons that this is just another Burlington java joint. But, come spring, a mini revolution could be brewing alongside the coffeepots at Radio Bean, shedding light on the shops seemingly nonsensical name.

“The table we’re sitting at right now is where were gonna put the deejay booth in the springtime,” says proprietor Lee Anderson, tracing a line in the air with his forefinger. “It will sort of wrap around the front window here.” Clad in a green army jacket, Radio Bean’s 23-year-old ruler describes his plan to serve up low-power radio along with regular lattes — and turn the mike over to the community. “I’ve had this idea for years,” Anderson explains with an urgency

that suggests a permanent caffeine buzz. “I want this place to be something people aren’t used to. We could broadcast poetry slams over the air, debates, open mikes with singing.” Anderson grew interested in making waves .as a punk-rock fan in Minneapolis, where his favorite station, “Revolution 105,” dished out rousing punk anthems by groups like The Replacements. When the small station was taken over by Disney and started playing “the best hits of yester

day and today,” Anderson took it hard. Soon after, he got the idea for a restau rant-radio station, but thought it would happen “maybe when I turned 40.” His dream got a jumpstart last March when he spotted a “for rent” sign outside the empty storefront in Burlington that was previously home to Java Love. Inspired, Anderson dropped out of the University of Vermont, where he was majoring in English literature, and set up shop with longtime friend and artist-car-

penter Jake Robertson. The two brought new life to the century-old space, chipping away at the cement walls to expose origi nal brick. Artistic touches appear everywhere: Candles throw light across red-painted tables lined with glinting metal; teapots steam on coiled-copper holders. Two wooden easy chairs, built by Anderson, face the steamy window. Even the candy case is filled with art: truffles with creamy mocha centers, handcraft ed by local chocolatier and New England Culinary Institute grad Michael Pelton. There’s a good vibe going at Radio Bean, but as yet no lowpower FM signal. Anderson is one of many locals applying for a LPFM license this month. Generally operated by schools, churches and community organi zations, the resulting stations broadcast at between 10 and 100 watts with a range of up to 3 1/2 miles. Anderson’s chances of obtaining a license have been reduced due to legislation tucked into a year-end budg et bill signed by former President Clinton. The amendment, backed by Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, inhibits plans by the Federal Communications Commission to license LPFM radio stations to commu nity organizations.

The Capitol Hill concern is interfer ence, common in big, densely populated cities or when stations are spaced too closely together on the FM dial. Anderson maintains the likelihood of serious radio interference in Burlington is'slim. He is one of many critics who believe the amendment is an attempt by commercial

able once — until the FM dial is full.” And if he doesn’t qualify? Anderson has already begun carrying out his mission in other ways. He’s teamed up with Big Heavy World’s Jim Lockridge, and recent ly began an acoustic guitar night the first and third Mondays of the month, which is broadcast live on Big Heavy World Web

stations, owned by mega-media corpora tions, to eliminate the competition pre sented by small, independent interests. “There needs to be another view, an opposing force,” says Anderson. “That’s what I want my radio station to be.” As a result of the amendment, the number of LPFM stations being given away nationally has been reduced to fewer than half. Applicants in 40 states have been awarded licenses so far. Contenders in the remaining 10 states, including Vermont, will apply this month. “Competition is fierce,” Anderson muses. “In Burlington there may only be one or two... This licensing will be avail

site at www.bigheavyworld.com. Web radio gives him an instant potential con nection to listeners all over the world. “Monday, during the show, I called up my mom and she was able to hear all the coffee shop noise just by going online,” Anderson marvels. With Burlington venues offering live music, what’s the benefit of listening to a local band perform online? Web radio “may be an alternative way to reach a larg er audience,” muses Lockridge. “Bands tell their fan base to listen in. You get people from elsewhere. And you reach people who are under 21 who couldn’t go if they wanted to.”

One of Radio Beans major draws is it doesn’t exclude the under-21 crowd. Anyone can enjoy the weekly music menu, offering everything from gypsy mandolin to toe-tapping bluegrass. And even with out the low-power “radio” half of the shop running, the “bean” seems to be generat ing enough energy to go around. There’s enough on the drink menu to keep wannabe radio revolutionaries wired, from Cafe Mocha to Anderson’s eccentric brain child — a “Five Dollar Shake” comprising oatmeal stout, with a shot of maple syrup and espresso. Anderson believes in buying locally as much as possible. “I didn’t realize how much a small business opening up stimu lates the local economy; everything from the bagel guy, to the guy who makes my chocolates, the biscotti, the dairy farm ers...” The only exception to the Green Mountain theme is the beans themselves. “We buy organic, fair-traded coffee, grown by members of a Mayan coopera tive in Chiapas, Mexico,” Anderson explains, noting that all the coffee is pre pared by the potent French-press method. And never mind mega-commercial radio: With Starbucks scheduled to open on the Burlington Marketplace in August, Anderson will be going up against the big guys in more ways than one. He remains confident. “Starbucks coming gives me a measuring stick,” he says, “to see exactly what I’m not.” ®

early every bit of biogra phical information about The Residents includes the qualifying word, “alleged.” That’s because the legendary multi-media pioneers have man aged to maintain complete anonymity throughout their 30year career. If you can call mak ing ground-breaking music videos that are too weird for mainstream distribution a career. Oh, sure, some of their early ’70s video work is now part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York — including The Third Reich V Roll, which The Rolling Stone Book o f Rock Video claims is “the most utterly, exuberantly original and bizarre performance video ever.” Even some of their costumes — from their 1981-84 Mole Show — are in the Los Angeles Museum of Contemp orary Art. The Residents have also put out some 20 albums, but just try and find them. A search last weekend at Borders in Burling- 7 ton turned up a “We’ve ordered

some for the occasion, but they haven’t arrived yet.” That “occasion” is the group’s performance at Higher Ground this Sunday, for which area fans should genuflect in gratitude. Not only do The Residents not go on the road much anymore, but this particular two-month tour — the first-ever tour in sup port of a DVD — has limited dates. And for anyone to volun tarily come to Vermont in the most frigid month of the year is something. Especially when they’re allegedly from California. Actually, The Residents are allegedly from Louisiana, accord ing to the guy who hosts the unofficial Residents Web site, at www.residents.com. This is “offi cially recognized” by Rez man agers, appropriately dubbed the Cryptic Corporation. Around 1966, the four — or possibly then five — musicians aban doned Shreveport’s redneck cul ture for San Francisco, but land ed in San Mateo when their truck broke down. Allegedly. The group began to experi ment with all manner of artsy technology, including tape

machines. By 1971 they sent one of their recordings to Warner Bros, and it was rejected. Because there was no name on the pack age the record company received, Warner Bros, returned it addres sed to “Residents” — and the group’s name was born. After producing one more tape and a live show, The Residents decided to take charge of things; they formed Ralph Records, released their first sin gle, “Santa Dog,” in 1972, and haven’t shown any signs of flag ging yet. Oh, and that anonymity? It’s pretty easy to maintain when the members have giant eyeballs for heads. Actually, three eyeballs —

For that matter, no one even knows whether they are still the same members they were in 1970, though it wouldn’t really matter, would it? That oddity alone qualifies this group for a special place in the music world — performers who eschew the cult of personality, of celebrity, and all the usual trappings of fame, were they to achieve any. It’s remarkable, really, that their identities haven’t been leaked by some disgruntled stagehand or ex-lover. What The Residents have achieved is impressive enough. After “Santa Dog,” they released an album nearly every year until 1980 — now considered their “classic” period. In the ’80s, the group began to create larger, multi-media projects and live tours. They also planned a series of albums, but finished only two, that explored the work of certain American composers. The 1988 album, God in 3 Persons, evolved into a sound track album and two singles; the following year The King and “Eye, ’’depicted by a top-hatted eyeball, turned into The Residents’ Cube E touring show. And 1990’s Freak Show spun into a single, a book, a stage show and a CD-ROM . Their 1998 CD and live show, Wormwood, explored the bad side of the Good Book — a quirky rock-opera approach to the darker stories in the Bible. If Freak Show was the band’s last step up the technology lad der, Icky Flix represents another. The Residents have produced a DVD featuring new arrange ments and recordings of some of their earlier music on video and film. The result is three hours of still-outlandish music and images — 90 minutes of which will be performed in a live show this Sunday night. Finally, The Residents face Vermonters, eye to eye. ®

Challenger Kevin Curley appears to be quite colorful, at least based on his Monday press conference, in which he accused Clavelle of not protecting Burlington’s children from “pred ators” as well as charging the mayor plans on “buying the elec tion.” Earlier Curley told the press he’d be running a low-budget campaign out of his kitchen. That remark prompted Clavelle to kick off his campaign last Friday from the breakfast nook of his South Union' Street kitchen. Nice big kitchen, too. A tres chic handpainted trompe I’oeil ceiling and a lake view. Asked why he hadn’t held his press conference in his kitchen like Clavelle, Curley said, “You couldn’t fit three reporters into my kitchen.” Clavelle says he won’t spend a whole lot of dough on this year’s race. No campaign office, for example. But he also said he’ll never forget his 1993 upset by Republican Peter Brownell, either, so he’s taking nothing for granted. As for a new and humorous wrinkle, the bald Mayor of Burlington’s campaign is distrib uting little red combs that read, “Never a Bad Hair Day! Clavelle for Mayor.” Douglas for Governor Update — As we reported last week, Vermont’s Republican state treas urer and life-long politician, Jim Douglas, the leading GOP candi date for governor in 2002, refuses to answer questions on policy issues. Mr. Middlebury said he won’t talk issues until he’s run ning for a “major” policy office. To this day, Slim Jim’s positions on Act 60 or civil unions are veri table secrets, and that’s clearly by design. Why piss off half of the people all of the time? But Mr. Douglas is clearly on track to take the big step and run for the state’s top job. Seven Days has learned that the Internet domain names — “Douglas2002.com” and “Douglas2002.org” have already been reserved. The Web addresses were regis tered last month by Jim Peden, a Middlebury Internet developer and devout Jim Douglas support er. Peden told Seven Days he reserved the domain names “in case they’re needed, and I hope they are. I think Jim would make a fantastic governor.” Peden said he had informed Mr. Douglas of his action. Cool. Media Notes — Happy Valentine’s Day to the lovebirds over at WVNY-TV! Seven Days has learned that Carrie Blake, the cute weekend news anchor, and Larry Delia, the station’s dashing general manager, have been struck by Cupid’s arrow. A traditional marriage is planned. No date set as yet. Congratulations! P.S. How about an on-air wedding? The November sweeps might be a perfect time to tie the of knot. (Z) E-mail Peter at Imide Track Vt@aol. com

There was a time when lips were sealed on the subject of female sexuality. But playwright Eve Ensler — a Middlebury College grad — changed all that when she opened The Vagina Monologues. Based on hundreds of interviews, the groundbreaking play is an exploration of the way women feel about their private parts. Hailed as “funny, poignant and courageous,” it’s performed in conjunction with V-Day 2001, an international initiative to end sexual violence. Beats another box of chocolates. . .

When Bill McKibben decided to chronicle the process of becoming a competitive cross country ski racer, the middle-aged author thought he might learn something about going the distance. When his father was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer nine months into his year-long training, the notion of “human endurance” took on new meaning. The result ing book, Long Distance: A Year o f Living Strenuously, has been called “a wonderful paean to winter and dying with dignity and...leading the examined life.” The Adirondack-based author of The End o f Nature discusses the book — between skis — in his old stomping ground.

Though configured like a standard chamber music ensemble, the world-renowned Turtles have pioneered a fiery fusion of Western classical, improvisational jazz, rhythm & blues, rock, Afro-Cuban and traditional Indian music. Among their greatest hits is a self-described “tuna salad of themes called ‘Bach’s Lunch.’” An evening with these musical ninjas sounds well worth shelling out for. Wednesday, February 21.

Nothing like an old-fashioned masked ball to bring out your inner Italian. The closest thing to Carnevale — the Venetian version of Mardi Gras — is on dry, frozen land at the Radisson. The Vermont Italian Cultural Association hosts the festivities, which include fine Italian cuisine and dancing to live music. Costumes are optional, and when you reserve a table for eight, you go home with a black ceramic gondola. Unfortunately, not in it. Grab your cape and get ready to have a ball, Italian-style. You can bring the whole famiglia. Saturday, February 17. Radisson Hotel, Burlington, 6:30p.m. —midnight. $50. Info, 862-3422.

SEVEN DAYS

february 14, 2001

tu rn ed in the m anuscript for H annibal, I was ecstatic. W h e n I heard th a t D avid M am et was at w ork on a screenplay, I grew even m ore excited. T h e day I learned th at the sequel was at long last going to be m ade, and th at the great Ridley S cott w ould be m aking it... well, you get the idea. It had been 10 years, an d I was co u n tin g dow n the days. S o m ething m o m en to u s was on the way. It was so close I could taste it. L ittle did I suspect the expe rience w ould sm ack o f sq u an dered o p p o rtu n ity and have m ore in co m m o n w ith pictures like Psycho 2 and the sequels to A N igh tm are on Elm Street as it does w ith the one-of-a-kind film it follows up. T h e picture om its significant po rtio n s o f the book, m ost notably H arris’ look back at the young Lecter and the forces th at shaped his singular psychology. It' also features a final act entirely different from the novel’s c o n tro versial ending. T h e problem , however, isn’t w h a t’s left o u t b u t w h at’s been inserted . W h e n the story opens, we find the good d o ctor in Florence living in high style as a scholar u n d er the alias o f Dr. Fell. A t first, the sight o f A n th o n y H o p k in s in a tailored suit, cape like overcoat an d b ro ad -b rim m ed

fedora strolling the ancient city’s boulevards and atten d in g operas provides a pow erful contrast to the Lecter we rem em ber in prison garb, stan d in g straight and still in his cell w ith barely room to move, the scene drained o f color. S co tt’s Florence is a feast, exactly the rainbow b an q u et o f architecture, history, art and beauty Lecter m ig h t have fantasized ab o u t at n ig h t in his cage. j u > Back in the States, FBI agent Clarice Starling is getting h u n g o u t to d ry for an operatio n th at w en t bad d ue entirely to a local officer’s mistakes. T h e first sign o f trouble in the movie is the way Julianne M oore incredibly neglects to m en tio n the officer’s actions, or the fact th at she h ad fired her gun in self-defense. W ell, actually the first sign o f trouble is th a t M oore is here at all. She’s an adequate actress, b u t no Jodie Foster, and no one b u t Foster is ever going to be C larice Starling. T here. T h a t feels better. H er bosses w in d up reassign ing her to the Lecter case and, faster th an you can say fava bean, she draws a bead on som eone in Italy w ho’s attem p tin g to collect a $3 m illion rew ard for H an n ib al Lecter’s head. T h e m oney is being offered by a w ealthy convicted pedophile and form er patient. H e ’s played by G ary O ld m an , th o u g h you’d never know it because o f the m akeup job. T h e idea is, he’s the only one o f L ecter’s victim s ever to survive. T h e second sign o f trouble is the confusing flashback th a t depicts w h at Lecter d id to the guy. As best I could m ake o ut, the young pervert sniffed a “p o p p er” and clim bed up into one o f the h anging sex-harnesstype deals he h ad all over his house, at w hich p o in t H o p k in s politely suggested th a t his p atien t slice o ff his face, an d the fellow com plied. As a result, O ld m a n ’s charac ter looks like he has ^ n insideo u t d ach sh u n d on his shoulders,

an d spends his tim e p lo ttin g to get his revenge by finding Lecter and feeding him to huge killer pigs, even th o u g h , as I m en tioned, the d o cto r apparently did n o th in g m ore th an m ake a sug gestion. So anyway, M oore finds o ut this cop in Florence has acciden- „ tally uncovered Lecter’s true identity and is ab o u t to try to take him in w ith o u t appropriate police backup. She calls him on his cell p h o n e to w arn against this course o f action b u t — too late — it’s Lecter w ho answers w ith a “goody goody,” and an apology th at he can’t talk right then as he’s in the m iddle ol som ething. N am ely g u ttin g and hanging the guy. T h e th in g is that, for all the slicing an d dicing he does here, H an n ib al Lecter generates aston ishingly little m enace. O n e rea son for this is th a t he’s afforded very little o p p o rtu n ity to dazzle the viewer w ith his intellect. T h e w ay he runs back to A m erica and plays a flirty gam e o f hide-andseek w ith Starling makes him seem slightly dotty, too, like an over-the-hill guy w ith a crush. W orst o f all is the way H opkins plays the character this tim e, as th o u g h he’s ju st this kitschy joke w e’re all in on and having a little fun w ith. Eventually, it feels like every o th er line in the script is a lame, food-related pu n . Since the only suspense in the film com es from the question o f w h o ’ll get to the d o cto r first — C larice or M r. Pig — an d we ju st know the final scenes are going to center on the relationship betw een Lecter and Starling, there really isn’t any sus pense at all. T h a t left me tim e to reflect on the following: W atch in g H o p k in s pro m o te the film oh talk shows over the past two weeks, jo k in g ab o u t m aking a'seary face for M oore’s y o u n g child on the set, m aking his ow n lame, food-related puns an d d o in g hi^ fam ous f f t f f t f f t so und, to the laughing delight o f the audience, is n o t unlike w atch in g h im in the film itself. H e’s n o t p la y in g H an n ib al Lecter, arguably the scariest, coolest, m ost com plex and com pelling bogeym an in the history o f cine ma; he’s goofing on h im . H aving a little fun w ith the icon, the way A n th o n y Perkins d id at a certain p o in t w ith N o rm an Bates and R o b ert E n g lu n d d id w ith Freddy Kreuger. N eed I say it? T h is isn’t a figure w ho got to be an icon because he was fu n . Som e things, I guess, were never m ean t to be. Sequels are hardly ever the equal o f the films th a t inspired them . G odfather 2 an d A liens proved exceptions to th at rule. H a n n ib a l succeeds at little b u t proving it. ©

D ea r Cecil, Ju st w h a t the heck does the L a tin phrase th a t starts

lorem ipsum m ean? / have seen this u sed as “fille r te x t”f o r years a n d have alw ays w on dered w h a t i t meant. Today I h a d fin a lly h a d enough, so I cranked up m y fa v o rite search engine a n d f e d i t this phrase. You can im agine w h a t I g o t back — thousands o f Web pages in various stages o f con struction. A n d so I tu rn to you. — Joe Nicholas, via the In ternet

T h is one is deep. R em em ber etaoin shrdlw1. (M aybe you d o n ’t. N ever m ind, a bulletin on the subject is forthcom ing.) R em em ber the Illu m in a ti and fn ordt Lorem ipsum is the same deal — one o f those inscrutable phrases th at ju st keeps tu rn in g up. Surely it means som ething. Surely it’s invested w ith, you know, mysto power. Lorem ipsum, m y children. So m ote it be. Before we go any fu rth er I’d b etter explain w hat w e’re talking about. Lorem ipsum is the beginning o f a pseudo-L atin passage com m only used as placeholder text w hen a graphic designer dum m ies up a page layout. It’s in ten d ed to show how the type will look before the copy is available. I say pseudo-L atin because th o u g h the passage contains recognizable Latin w ords, they d o n ’t seem to add up to anything, and som e are ju st jabberw ocky — there’s no Latin w ord lorem , for one thing. Lorem ipsum is only the beginning, by the way; the text continues lorem ipsum dolor sit am et, consectetur, adipisci velit, etc. In the graphic design business, nonsense filler like this is know n, som ew hat incongruously, as “greeking,” presum ably because “it’s G reek to m e.” It was available for m any years on adhesive sheets in different sizes and typefaces from a com pany called Letraset. In pre-deskto p -publishing days, a designer w ould cu t the stu ff o u t w ith an X -acto knife and stick it on the page. W h en com puters cam e along, A ldus included lorem ipsum in its PageM aker publishing software, an d you now see it w herever designers are at w ork, including all over the W eb. A few years ago som eone w rote to Before & A fe r , a desktop publishing m agazine (w w w .pagelab.com ), ask ing w h at lorem ipsum m eant, “ft’s n o t Latin, th o u g h it looks like it, and it actually says n o th in g ,” the editors replied. “Its ‘w ords’ loosely approxim ate the frequency w ith w hich letters occur in English, w hich is w hy at a glance it looks pretty real.” N o t exactly. (“Lorem o o p su m ,” the abashed B & A

editors w rote.) T urns o u t the passage doesn’t ju st look like real Latin, it is real (although slightly scram bled), an d from a fam ous source. T h is news cam e from R ichard M cC lin to ck , a L atin professor tu rn ed publica tions director at H am p d en -S y d n ey College in V irginia. C urious ab o u t w h at the w ords m eant, M c C lin to ck had looked up one o f the m ore obscure ones, consectetur , in a Latin dictionary. G o in g th ro u g h th e cites o f the w ord in classical literature, he fo u n d one th a t looked familiar. Aha! Lorem ipsum was p art o f a passage from Cicero, specifically D e fin ib u s bonorum et m alorum , a treatise on the th eo ry o f ethics w ritten in 45 BC. T h e original reads, N equ e porro quisquam est q u i do lorem ipsum quia dolor sit am et, consectetur, adipisci velit. (“T h ere is no one w ho loves pain itself, w h o seeks after it an d w ants to have it, sim ply because it is p a i n ...”) s^ ““4-,; M cC lin to ck recalled having seen lorem ipsum in a bo o k o f early m etal type sam ples, w hich co m m o n ly used extracts from the classics. “W h a t I find rem arkable,” he told B & A , “is th a t this text has been the in d u stry ’s stan dard d u m m y text ever since som e p rin te r in th e 1500s to o k a galley o f type an d scram bled it to m ake a type specim en book; it has survived n o t only four centuries o f letter-by-letter resetting b u t even the leap in to elec tronic typesetting, essentially u n ch a n g ed .” So m u ch for the transitory natu re o f c o n te n t in the in fo rm atio n age. Just one problem . W h e n I spoke to M cC lin to ck recently, he said he’d been unable to locate th e old type sam ple in w hich he th o u g h t he’d seen lorem ipsum. T h e earliest he could definitely trace back th e passage was Letraset press-type sheets, w h ich d ated back o nly a few decades. B ut com e on, you th in k graphic arts supply houses were h irin g classics scholars in th e 1960s? Well, m aybe they were. B ut it’s easier to believe th a t som eone at L etraset sim ply copied the text from an old h o t-ty p e source. W e’re now faced w ith th e m ere technical detail o f figuring o u t w hich one. — C E C IL A D A M S

Yesterday, some bozo drivin g a mon strous S U V bum ped into my M axim a a t the airport curbside. Instead o f feigning con cern a n d getting out o f his vehicle to check the damage, he ju s t sat there! When I p o in ted to the den t he p u t in my bumper, this turkey ju st dismissed i t w ith a w ave o f his hand. When I confronted him, he w ouldn’t give me his driver’s license num ber or registration. I ended up get ting the V IN o f f his dash board.

H ow w ould you handle this? — Paul

T O M : H ow w ould W E handle it? Well, that’s easy. W e’d call Uncle Knuckles and have him pay the guy a little visit. RAY: Here’s w hat you should do, Paul.

T O M : I’d leave Uncle Knuckles out o f it at this point. RAY: If he says he’d like to handle it w ithout invoking his insurance, you need to get an estimate from a body shop and send it to him.

► classified@sevendaysvt.com

February 1 5 - 2 1 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The imperial phase o f your astrological cycle ends on February 22. I suggest you use the time between now and then to fine-tune and safeguard the masterwork you’ve recendy consum mated. You don’t want it to turn into a Frankenstein monster when you go off chasing wild geese and mutated rain bows in March, right? Make sure your proud creation can function smoothly without your direct supervision. Take every precaution to ensure that its effects will match your intentions.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-M ay 20): Hoping to further her education in the art o f dissent, I brought my Taurean daughter Zoe to the “Hail to the T hief” protest o f George W. Bush in San Francisco a few weeks ago. She was entertained for a while, but as the speeches dragged on, she grew bored. By the time the parade began, she’d pulled a Nancy Drew mystery from her backpack ( The Clue o f the Dancing Puppets) and was reading intently. Though I’ve always admired her selfpossessed ability to concentrate, I was truly awed by what followed. As we marched along amidst 15,000 chanti ng, drumming demonstrators, Zoe calmly polished off 35 pages. You yourself will need this level o f singlemindedness in the coming days, Taurus. Please focus on what’s most crucial, even in the face o f interesting distractions.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Wondering about the future o f your career? I hope my mystical vision can help. In a waking dream, fueled by five cups o f coffee, I beheld three charac ters engaged in a debate about you. They were identified by titles on their T-shirts. “Pragmatic Rebel” wanted you to play more by the rules now in order to earn the right to mess with the rules later. “High-Strung Control Freak” felt you should sever your con nection to boring tasks so you could devote yourself fully to what you love.

“Cool Fool on the Hill” made your resume into a paper airplane to serve as a kind o f oracle; wherever it pointed when it landed would be the direction you were supposed to go. (PS. In my next vision, I hope to coax a consensus out o f them.)

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I predict that in the next two weeks you will overflow with the best kind of Cancerian wisdom. That means you’ll have an impeccable sense o f how to nurture others without smothering them, how to give your gifts without sacrificing yourself, and how to be acutely sensitive without becoming one big wound. There’s even more good news. I believe you’re primed to turn this outbreak o f emotional intelli gence into a practical advantage — even material gain. It’ll be an excellent time to sell yourself — your real self, not the pretty packaging — without selling your soul.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): There are many reasons to cry besides being sad or feeling sorry for yourself. A sudden rush o f insight into a nagging problem always does it for me. My friend Corina breaks into sobs o f reverent joy whenever she gazes on the ocean at dawn. In a recent N ational Geographic, NASA’s chief scientist for Mars explo ration confessed what stirs his emo tions up from the depths. “W hen I first gazed at the images [of the Martian landscape] from Surveyor’s camera,” said Jim Garvin, “I was moved to tears.” I bring this up, Leo, because a series o f poignant pleasures are headed your way. Please give your self to the Bawling Season with all o f your crazy heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I dare you to belt out a song that best expresses the feeling that you’ve

already lived a thousand years’ worth o f soul-stirring, lesson-crammed expe riences in this lifetime. Then I dare you to do a metaphorical rain dance in which you summon a flash flood o f emotion to carry you back to where you once belonged — and must belong again. Finally, Virgo, I dare you to perform the ultimate pain dance — a whirling dervish-style explosion o f ferocious grace. With this purgative uprising, you will thank your signature pain for all it has taught you and give notice that since its job is done, it must now leave you in peace.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For a limited time only, you’re in a position to do what many people never get to do as long as they live. Yes, maestro, you now have the opportunity to con sciously choose your next set o f prob lems. If you go looking for provocative new trouble, in other words, the same old tired and trivial hassles won’t both er to come looking for you. D o you realize what this means? You could soon be committing the most original sins ever. N ot only that. You may be on the verge o f shucking a really bor ing kind o f hard luck you feared you were stuck with forever.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I asked Thera, a psychic child I know, to draw a picture depicting the current state o f your fate. She used crayons to create an upside-down tree that had its roots in the sky and branches in the earth. Beneath the boughs was a cave where a pregnant woman danced ecstatically around an open treasure chest. What could Thera’s scene mean? Here are my educated guesses. 1. Your reversal o f an old order will lead you to secret riches. 2. Your unorthodox return to the source will result in the birth o f resources that your soul (but perhaps not your ego) will deeply

appreciate. 3. You must go against the flow or work against the grain in order to become realigned with what’s most dear to you. 4. All o f the above.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your upcoming relationship with the planet Mars should be invigo rating, fun, disruptive and challenging. Whereas it usually stays in your sign for two months every two years, in 2001 it’ll be there from February 14 till September 8 — its longest v isit. since 1969. During this time Mars will continually prod you to be a highminded, fair-fighting warrior who bat tles for truth and justice. If you don’t cooperate, on the other hand, it’ll whip up discord and stimulate your anger. So what’ll it be, Saj? Six months o f fiery devotion to your most beauti ful ambitions? Or would you rather meander along chaotically, unable to make up your mind about which goals to serve, consumed by irritating skir mishes with unworthy foes?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mr. Complexity has two simple questions this week: W hat binds you? And how are you going to undo the binds? Address these riddles with the blended powers o f your heart and mind, Capricorn, and life will show you how to replace your shackles with beautiful weavings. N ow Mr. Complexity would like to pose two rather complicated queries, if it’s not too much to ask. Have you considered the possibility that you’re more creative than you realize? And that as long as you tolerate the aforementioned binds, you’re enforcing your ignorance about your creativity?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve managed to gain passage through the First Gate, Aquarius. Congratulations! There’s nothing

ong with feeling ebullient, en cocky, about your success this initial test. But don’t let ur satisfaction distract you from the preparations necessary to finish your quest. The tricks you’ll need to open the Second Gate will have to be more tender and ingenious than those you’ve used before, and the m ood o f the guardian o f the Third Gate will be thoroughly unpredictable. If I could give you just one gem o f advice to guide your navigations, it would be an epigram from the Greek philosopher-poet Heraclitus: “Fire rests by changing.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’m always astounded when the cosmic omens make extremely specific recom mendations, but this week’s revelations for you outstrip all my previous amazements. Get this, Pisces. It’ll be a perfect time for you to get a vanity license plate that reads KZMYAZ or to unleash a greedy prayer while play ing in a fountain. You will also have subtle but powerful help from invisible sources if you use sex consciously to generate the energy to overcome limi tations in your work or art. Other rec ommended activities: acquire a snow globe o f a dolphin drinking beer; sky write erotic poems above the Vatican; consecrate an amulet to the goddesses Inanna or Isis; read Dante’s D ivine Comedy: Paradise and Milton’s Paradise Regained, or act out the following epi gram: “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” ® You cun cull Rob Brozsny, day or night for your

Dear Lola, Whenever my lover feels herself getting ready to orgasm, she always pushes me aside and finishes herself off on her own. She says it's not me — she's been fol lowing this pattern for years, with several difforent partners. The first time, I sort of enjoyed watching her, but afoer a while her solo climaxes just made me foel reject ed. I've told her how I foel, and we've tried having me bring her to climax, but to no avail. Suggestions? Lefo Out in Lyndcnville Dear Lefo Out, Masturbation may be a many-splendcred thing, but there's a time and a place for every thing. Jour lover has fallen into a self-perpet uating pattern. The more often she brings herself to orgasm, the less able she is to relax and allow herself to respond to your touch. Orgasms are 90 percent mental, but the brain can be manu ally re-tuned. Next time you make love, ask her to use your hand as her sexual tool. Then you will no longer be left cut, and she'll be on the way towards weaning herself from self-stimulation. Love, ^ ~
