OKAY TO REVIEW A REVIEW I stand by every word I wrote concerning Pip Vaughan-Hughes’ review of Daniel Hecht’s The Babel Effect [Weekly Mail, Feb. 7].

Hecht and Hilton Dier are on their own to respond or not to Erik Esckilsens impassioned and meticulously fair defense of the review of the novel.

I do personally accept responsi­ bility for one point concerning me: I “emit[tedj a whine.” Truly, 1 don’t think I was “more shrill than a daycare just before naptime,” which one must conclude is Esckilsens sly yet exemplary way of contrasting my using ad hominem attack as opposed to his well-rea­ soned and sober way of respond­ ing.

My apology for whining, how­ ever, is severely limited. I had sed­ ulously attempted to avoid writing a critique on critics in general, and I now see how my limiting myself could be construed as whining.

Rereading my original letter, 1 real­ ly don’t see that it’s particularly hysterical, or even that angry, sure­ ly not as furious (I am too genteel to say “whiny) as Esckilsens. But, since he calls me bad things, let me attempt, in my modest and unas­ suming way, to rectify my earlier mistake.

I wonder what credentials Vaughan-Hughes and his protector have even to ask anyone to respect their opinion — and we are, after all, concerned here with an indi­ vidual’s opinions — without hav­ ing to justify themselves if chal­ lenged. We all read books and go to movies, and many of us hold strong opinions on what we expe­ rienced. But only some of us (including, I’m afraid, me) have the audacity and the foolhardiness

& < e

to take off all our clothes to spout our subjective feelings in public. If someone points and accuses us of being small, we asked for it. I have been criticized for my published opinions more than once, and so be it — if I wasn’t willing to take reactions I shouldn’t have written what I wrote.

Once one does write some sort of review, it strikes me as not objectionable for someone else to question the review — and its motives. I didn’t advise Seven Days editors to strangle or otherwise censor Vaughan-Hughes, poor lad.

In fact, as near as I can see from Esckilsens faccuse, and from rereading the letters that so infuri­ ate him, both our comments and his attacks are prompted by the same motives. How come he gets a free ride but we should be flogged?

Where’d he get his Get Out of jail Free card? And who made up his standards on what is and isn’t fair?

What are these “rules” he refers to?

Esckilsen quotes Hecht’s reply to an attack on his baby: “Vaughan-Hughes can’t pick up nuances and can’t contextualize.

Worse, he has no sense of humor!”

And Erik? I’m not the sort to say “whines,” but judge for yourself.

“If those aren’t direct personal attacks, I’ll eat my earmuffs.”

Well, try some Thai Sweet Chili Sauce on ’em, Erik. Finally, after we wade through all his hys­ terical crap, we’re being asked to swallow whatever the hell a critic has to say, valid or not. Erik calls his friend Vaughan-Hughes review “the work of a seasoned smarraleck.” I myself wouldn’t want to be stained with so clicked a brush, but we can only write what we’re capable of.

Erik polishes me off with this

KUDOS ON SEX STORY Seven Days and Ms. Polston have done me proud with “Sex Toy Story” in the February 7-14 issue.

Kinsey reported that Americans do in private what they condemn in public. Bringing an adult toy store to a public forum in a posi­ tive manner is exactly what’s need­ ed. Humans are sexual — live with it!

It is detrimental that Vermonters currently are forced either to buy their adult merchan­ dise through mail order from out of state, or else drive across • Vermont for it. We need more than the few' adult businesses now operating. Yes, even in my neigh­ borhood. Why isn’t there one in Burlington?

Ms. Polston, that movie may have appeared as “robotic,” etc., in your valid opinion, bur I will always assert that the naked human body is the most glorious, most beautiful sight on Earth, bar none.

masterful logic: “Finally, Weinberg makes this ludicrous appealfor decency [my italics]: ‘Shouldn’t a writer receive respect enough to have the review deal with the work, not how clever and glib the reviewer can be?’ He’s partially right [though apparently still “ludicrous”]... In light of Hecht’s ill-mannered response to a fair, if unflattering, assessment, I find that respect difficult to muster, [in fact] I wouldn’t read Babel or anything else he’s written, not even if you paid me.”

Tragically for the world, I sus­ pect this is not a sincere promise to reform his wicked, wicked ways, but at least he concedes he hasn’t read the damn book he’s so sure should be treated with joyous con­ tempt! He concludes with the very words that prove my point about the nasty subjectivity most review­ ers wield: “Not even if you let me review it.” Exactly: Not even if you can savage the guy who hurt your feelings with his audacity to reply.

These are his rules? I’ll pass on fol­ lowing them.

To my knowledge, of critics only George Bernard Shaw and Francois Truffauk were so sound in their critiques that, when they were dared to do better, they did, in spades. Whereas when Pauline Kael, movie critic of The New Yorker and the queen of vitriol, was financed to make her own movie, she apparently failed so badly that the movie has yet to be seen, something like 30 years later.

What I find irksome is so well illustrated by these boobs — sorry!

Out of the Box T h in kin g ?

Last year the big battle under Montpeculiar’s golden dome was about sex. This year it’s drugs. It as if Vermont’s leaders just woke up to the fact that heroin is no stranger in the Green Mountains, and the War on Drugs has been lost.

But as the politicians posture and primp, criti­ cize and propose, one thing is perfectly clear — the people in charge at the state level have no better clue to han­ dling Vermont’s drug culture than do our leaders in Washington, D.C. Governor Howard Dean set the ball rolling in his inaugural address last month with the rhetorical boast he would “drive heroin out of Vermont.” More cops was the Dean solution.

But even the cops tell us law enforcement alone can never win the War on Drugs. And educa­ tion, such as that provided by the DARE program, has proven useless.

DARE — for Drug Abuse Resistance Education — started back in 1983 in the Los Angeles Police Department, championing Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” approach to illegal drug dse. The program is taught in 75 percent of the nation’s school districts. It puts uniformed police officers in elementary schools to teach fifth graders to say no to drugs.

In the last two months, both the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. Surgeon 4 ■ general have, issued ^reports declaring DARE inefi fective. This comes in the w^kc of several universiv^^mdies,fthat- found sim ikr xgjults, including one in Illinois that detected increased illegal drug use „by high-schoolers who had been through the JDARE program.

'In Burlingtop-, one of police chief Alana Ennis’ fir|it“acts as top cop in Burlap two years ago was to . pull.the; plug on DARE. She took a lot of heat for it at'the time;'Last week,‘DARE officials finally woke up and conceded it’s time to rethink their anti-drug program.

On the silver screen, the fictional “drug czar,” played by Michael Douglas in the hit movie Traffic, suggests it’s time for “out-of-the-box think­ ing” on the drug issue. But out-of-the-rbox thipk: ing is in very short supply these days, especially when it comes to facing the reality of the sea of drugs we humans swim in. The War on Drugs has been a bigger disaster than the Vietnam War, but political leaders are united in their fear of uttering the “legalization” word. Elected officials continue the pretense that “just say no” is the only way to go. Meantime, our jails are full of non-violent offenders and our children consider us hypocrites.

It’s wake-up time in America. From caffeine to cocaine, cannabis to chardonnay, we humans love drugs. Let’s just admit it. We love a little pick-up, a little buzz or, as the drug czar in Traffic says about his scotch whiskies before dinner, we love “to take the edge off,” (Meanwhile, in the flick the drug czar’s darling daughter is happily drinking beer, smoking pot and free-basing cocaine with her well-off, well-educated and very bored peers.)

Current drug policy sets the high-water mark for double standards. Booze is legal and heavily advertised as good clean fun, despite its role as society’s most abused, dangerous and destructive drug.

said at the Statehouse, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” This one, folks, is broke bad. Real bad.

Unfortunately, there is no sign of any out-ofthe-box thinking coming from Gov. Howard Dean on this one. Dr. Dean has staunchly opposed sanc­ tioning marijuana for medicinal purposes as eight other states have done. The Guv has also slammed his door shut on allowing Vermont farmers to grow industrial hemp like our Canadian neigh­ bors. For Ho-Ho, “just say no” is the only way to go. Indeed, Dr. Dean leads by personal example, shunning alcohol, nicotine and even caffeine as a full-grown adult. In doing so, the Guv also proves the point that drug legalization doesn’t guarantee utilization. People, after all, are capable of making choices.

Perhaps the place to start is to accept the fact that drugs have been with us throughout history and will continue to be with us, whether we label them “legal” or “illegal.” If Howard Dean is right when he says drug addiction is a “disease,” then maybe it’s time to stop arresting and incarcerating the patients? And maybe it’s time to stop telling our children to do as we say, not as we do?

This Bud’s For You! — For the past nine years, Hub Vogelmann of Jericho has made it an annual practice to collect and count discarded empties along a mile-long stretch of Schillhammer Road. Mr. Vogelmann serves as a member of the Governor’s Council of Environmental Advisors (bet you didn’t know HoHo even had “environmental advisors,” eh?). Last year, Hub chronicled his collecting over a threemonth period, between August 10 and November 27. The envelope, please!

Vogelmann picked up 336 empties discarded by passing motorists who consider Vermont’s road­ sides unofficial garbage cans. O f the 336 empties, 226 were cans and 110 were bottles. And, once again, Anheuser Busch, the nation’s largest legal drug dealer, ran away with first-place honors.

Vogelmann picked up 189 Bud cans and 40 Bud bottles. In second place was Michelob, the upscale Bud brand, which accounted Lor six cans and 28 bottles. That adds up to 78 percent for Anheuser Busch. Impressive.

Finishing a distant third was Labatt, a Canadian import beer, which accounted for five cans and T4 bottles. Coca-Cola came in fifth fol­ lowed by Coors and V-8. Hub also collected one Five O ’Clock vodka bottle.

On Monday, yours truly contacted the .. -v Statehouse business lobbyist whose dance card includes Anheuser Busch. At first, Jerry Morris tried to steer us to the local Budweiser distributor for comment, noting proudly that Bud dominates the Vermont and national beer market. Pressed about the Vogelmann survey, Morris said that at Anheuser Busch, “We are very proud of our track record on encouraging proper disposal and recy­ cling of our products.”

Really?

These days, Morris the Cat is going all out under the golden dome battling a proposed penny.-a-can beer tax to help pay for drug treat­ ment. Mr. Morris, whom we’ve never seen sip on anything but the King of Beers, called the propos­ al “the most regressive tax there is in terms of adult consumers of alcoholic beverages. The demograph­ ics show,” said Morris, “beer is the preferred bever­ age, the nectar of adult working men and ■:mQ^enT ■* " ' : The “nectar?”

• Morris also suggests there’s a bit of a double standard at play. Beer is currently getting a bad rap

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Columbus, Ohio, reported a man walked into the National City Bank and handed a teller a note that read, “Give me all your money. I have a gun.”

When assistant bank manager Kathy Ross explained the bank was only for loan applications and didn’t have any cash, the rob­ ber insisted she open all of the drawers, then fled when he saw they indeed contained no money.

“He obviously didn’t do his research,” bank employee Tom Louters said.

The contact person also asked that the gold be shipped by United Parcel Service instead of armored car.

Mensa Reject of the Week When a woman ordered $2.12 worth of food at a Dairy Queen drive-through in Danville, Kentucky, and paid with a phony $200 bill, the cashier mistook it for a real $ 100 bill and handed back $97.88 in change. The Danville Advocate-Messenger noted the cartoon-like bill features a portrait of President George W. Bush and a drawing of the White House with an oil well and der­ rick pumping oil on the lawn, and yard signs reading, “Rooms not for rent” and “We like broc­ coli.” Noting the culprit could not be charged with counterfeit­ ing since the bill is so clearly a fake, Detective Bob Williamson said the cashier probably assumed it was a real bill because “it’s got the green color.”

shot his 17-year-old son after the two argued over whether the family dog should be covered with a

blanket at night.

• When Dumitru Toderasu, 69, of Canfataresti, in Romania’s Vaslui County, discovered that his wife had sold their family cow to pay for a divorce, he poured gaso­ line over himself and set himself on fire. Niculina Toderasu, 68, managed to smother the flames before her husband was seriously injured.

Gimme Shelter A security guard who was hired to protect a small, aban­ doned inner-city hospital in Los Angeles was found to be renting out as many as 20 of the rooms, charging $300 to $400 a month.

One tenant told the Los Angeles Times that most of the rooms had telephones and cable television, and children used the bloodcaked operating room as a play­ room.

• After Rafael Pantoja, 41, was evicted from a rented home in an affluent neighborhood in White Plains, New York, he sold the house to an unsuspecting couple, according to police who arrested

him. Investigators told the Journal News that Pantoja vacated the three-bedroom house as owner David Barnea ordered, but when Barnea left town on busi­ ness, Pantoja took a couple there, represented himself as the owner and agreed to sell the property for $170,000. He collected a $30,000 down payment, and the couple moved in. When Barnea returned from his trip, police reported, “the couple found out they’d been conned.”

Finders Keepers A federal judge ruled that Helen Chappell, 77, of Kansas City, Missouri, could keep $82,000 that was found in the gas tank of a car she bought at a federal auction for $5400.

Chappell and her son Jeffrey bought the 1965 Volkswagen Golf “as is,” but it quickly devel­ oped a fuel problem. A mechanic found the cash floating in the tank. The government seized the money, claiming it was profits from illegal drug trafficking. U.S. District Judge Nanette K. Laughrey said the government could have kept the money if it had found it before selling the car, and she said it should have.

First, the gas gauge was malfunc­ tioning. Second, Laughrey said, since the late 1960s, “when Easy Rider was aired, the government was on notice that drug dealers use gas tanks to hide their contra­ band.” ®

W hat video gam e was in the original alcove of the bar at the Daily Planet?

hich is worse — the death of civility in Baghdad, or the $ 100 million that Hannibalbas reportedly sucked in at the box office in two short weekends?

Should I be more concerned about “consumer confidence” or “Muslim extremists?” Will you be watching Timothy McVeighs televised execution?

And why is Bill Clinton get­ ting more publicity than President Select?

I ask rhetorically, of course.

Words are only tools in the civil society — they don’t mean a thing. Nor do num­ bers, apparently. Last week, The Los Angeles Times caused a small flap among journalists by running a four-day series about the accuracy of news reporting in Hollywood.

Evidently, no one’s been attending to it — accuracy, that is.

“The media’s obsession with opening weekend grosses is as ironic as it may be destructive,” writes Times staff correspondent David Shaw: “Why? Because virtually every­ one in Hollywood agrees that most of the numbers the stu­ dios report to the media are inaccurate, if not downright dishonest.” Investigative reporting in Hollywood, according to Shaw, has degen­ erated into “breathless accounts of who’s in, out, up or down — and celebrity pro­ files that are almost as flatter­ ing as they are formulaic.”

Shaw quotes film producer Linda Obst: “Inhale. Lie. Exhale. Lie.” “Long-term survivors find successful techniques that don’t require lying,” Obst explains without elaboration.

“In Hollywood, everyone’s either a friend or an enemy.”

Obst’s movie credits include 1993’s Sleepless in Seattle and 1997’s Contact, so I don’t know how current she might be.

In case you’ve forgotten, Contact was the aliens-fromspace movie that put Jodie Foster into bed with Matthew McConaughey, the most insin­ cere actor in Tinseltown until Kevin Spacey took the job. In Contact, Foster looked like Pinocchio and McConaughey played “the spiritual advisor to the President of the United States,” so I’d say lying, in Obst’s case, is a matter of per­ spective.

As for Hannibal, Sir Anthony Hopkins compares this dumbbell exercise in com­ puter blood-and-gore to that poor, exploited visionary, the Bard of Avon. You know the argument: There’s just as much violence in Titus Andronicus!

is nothing next to the blow jobs the Bushmen have been getting . . . down the part of Hannibal Lecter, was quoted last week from New Zealand as he pre­ pared to sail the Tasman Sea in a racing competition.

“I don’t think we need to be too worried about gory, horrendous stories, they have been around forever,” Irons says. And speaking of Shakespeare, Hopkins says, “live theater is boring.” That’s how much Hamlet and Hannibal have in common.

Anyway, I’m not as worried about lying in Hollywood as I am that reporters are suddenly pretending it’s news. The L.A. Times points to a changing corporate and technological culture, in which “lines between Hollywood and Wall Street have become increasing­ ly blurred,” but that can’t be the point of a four-day feature.

Sure enough, correspondent Shaw quotes Bernard Weinraub, The New York Times longtime man in La-La Land. Are lying movie moguls “really so very different from politicians?” Shaw wonders.

“Yes,” Weinraub replies on cue. “People lie much more flagrantly in Hollywood than in Washington. The level of duplicity and deception is greater in Hollywood.”

Thus we’re encouraged to take lying for granted in one arena (entertainment) while ignoring it — in fact, conspir­ ing with it — in another (poli­ tics). Journalism’s lickspittle coverage of the entertainment industry is nothing next to the blow jobs the Bushmen have been getting in this, their obligatory “honeymoon” peri­ od. In regard to the last week’s action against Iraq specifically,

al opinion is that he is smarter than he is letting on,” says Newsdays Associate Editor James S. Toedtman. “I don’t know about his curiosity, but he’s a smart guy. Smart enough to develop a very, very slick strategy... smart enough to know when and how and with whom to pick a fight.”

That it’s all being done for Poppy’s honor and the oilmen’s pockets is pretty smart, too, don’t you think? Smart as in “cheeky.” So brown are the noses in Washington right now that Select has even forsaken the regular White House news conference, “which gives a forum to those who continu­ ously fire off partisan salvos,” Toedtman scolds. Our 43rd president prefers the staged media event — one a day, “and with very limited expo­ sure for himself.” That’s because if they let him out without a keeper he sounds like this: “Redefining the role of the United States from enablers to keep the peace to enablers to keep the peace from peace­ keepers is going to be an assignment.”

Or: “I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for pre­ decessors as well.”

I refer you all again to Jacob Weisberg’s Complete Bushisms, now available in costly paperback at your local mega-bookstore. Finally, I for­ got to add for irate readers that a coup d ’etat doesn’t need to be plotted in advance. All it needs is opportunity, a dis­ tracted public, the state appa­ ratus and a craven press.

Smart, indeed. ®

SEVEN DAYS

The sobering reality behind booze bashing in Burlington

By Susan Green new front emerged last week in the ongoing war for the soul of downtown Burlington. Fueled by fear, angry words and deeply felt personal and political views, this campaign has become a millennial battle over booze.

The immediate brouhaha — or should we say brew-haha? — concerns a proposed resolution to ban alcohol con­ sumption at outdoor events on public streets. The idea was introduced at a February 13 meeting of the Local Control Subcommittee by City Councilor Tom Smith, who explained that the measure would not apply to parks or Marketplace cafes. A second proposal under consideration urged no outside consumption permits whatsoever for St. Patricks Day, March 17.

“If the City goes on record closing public streets, it’s like saying consumption is OK,” suggested Smith, citing several statistics about the dire consequences of alcohol abuse.

Some people in the alcohol-consumption business, objecting that use does not automatically equal abuse, urged the subcommittee to avoid harming the city’s celebratory spirit.

“I would really caution you not to go down that path,” pleaded Alan Newman, co-owner of Magic Hat Brewery, which sponsors the annual Mardi Gras parade and block party. “Cities all over the Northeast would kill to have the vibrancy of downtown Burlington.”

Jack O ’Brien, co-owner of Red Square and Club Metronome, was irate. “We’re absolutely shocked that this is actually being proposed,” he said — shocked enough, appar­ ently, to place a recent newspaper ad warning that Smith’s resolution could put an end to all festivals, dancing and even smiling.

As Seven Days goes to press, the Local Control Commission — the Burlington City Council acting as an official arm of the state — is meeting to vote on both resolu­ tions. Neither is expected to pass. But the heated rhetoric did not originate with Smith’s push for a ban on drinking at outdoor events. It’s just the latest shot fired over the bow in a prolonged struggle between the City and the bars that began when officials decided to get tough in the intoxication imbroglio.

The new effort can be traced to the so-called riot in the fall of 1998, when people streaming out of downtown bars threw bottles at police who had stopped a car for a suspected DWI. “What that said — in combination with continuing problems like noise, public urination, fights, drinking on the street, underage drinking — was that we have a serious problem,” recalls Assistant City Attorney Gene Bergman.

“We began to prosecute for the first time in ages. We started to reorganize the staffing and focus of the police, as well as coordinate with the Fire Marshal’s office and the state’s liquor control inspectors. This had not been done before.”

Burlington went on the offensive. “What I see is a city wanting to take a lot more control,” observes Paula Niquette, an investigator for the Vermont Department of Liquor Control. “It’s the only city I know of in the state that’s tried anything like this.”

Lieutenant Walt Decker of the Burlington Police Department believes it’s merely a question of emphasis.

“We’ve been tightening the belt. Some people are complain­ ing about the enforcement of regulations, but these laws have been on the books for years.”

“No one was actively monitoring the size of crowds in local establishments, so a year ago we got permission from the Fire Marshal to ask for a head count,” Decker says.

“That produced a big reaction from the bar owners: ‘Omigod, this is a travesty to our business!”’ < Fire codes have become as important as existing liquor laws, he adds. “We now make some bars form a line so

many feet away from the door when people are waiting outside to get in.”

Another pre-emptive strike was launched after three or four bar fights last year. “In one of them, a young man was severely cut from being struck in the head with a broken bottle,” Decker recalls. “It was over someone spilling beer on someone else on the dance floor. We began insist­ ing on no consumption while dancing. That was very painful for some bars to hear.”

urlington’s new initiatives to ensure that bars are in full compliance with the law means the City “is slightly ahead of the curve,” Decker says. In the Midwest, he points out, stadium sporting events are often accompanied by tailgate parties involving thou­ sands of drinking drivers. “Some of those places have zero regulations. They haven’t even begun to deal with it yet.

There isn’t the political nerve to put the issue on the table.”

Political nerve is precisely what has infuriated O ’Brien since the city “launched a major crackdown a little over a year ago. We do need to have a legitimate debate on alcohol, but penalizing the bars is irresponsible just because Tom Smith feels that way. It’s like we’re in a nasty fight and they hide behind the bureaucracy.”

O ’Brien, who has weathered numerous disagreements with the City on alleged fire and safety violations at Red Square, is troubled about a meeting with bar owners that took place in early August last year. “Ray O ’Connor [direc­ tor of Burlington’s Code Enforcement Services] told us that, if we get out of line, he’d ask federal and state agencies to audit our taxes. Everyone was shell-shocked.”

Bergman, a former city councilor, acknowledges that such a step is not unthinkable. “If they don’t control their establishments and adhere to the law, public scrutiny would be upon them.”

Although he did not attend that August meeting, Smith thinks that O ’Connor “meant we’d use all the tools neces­ sary. Bars are upset to be held accountable for over-occupan­ cy and over-service. They’re trying to paint the City as a bogeyman that’s out to get them.

“Jack’s been hit hard,” Smith continues. “His establish­ ment has been a problem. He’s reacting to our willingness to enforce the law.”

There’s no love lost between Smith and O ’Brien, but the entrepreneur seems to consider Bergman his true nemesis.

“He’s behind the scenes, pushing the whole agenda. Gene’s on a personal vendetta, fooling with my livelihood and try­ ing to systematically destroy the city. He’s dangerous and vindictive.”

For his part, Bergman thinks O ’Brien and other bar owners who complain about the crackdown are crybabies.

“They can’t see the legitimacy of what we’re doing, so every­ thing looks mean and evil to them,” he says. “I don’t want to prosecute bars, but they should know I’m serious about my job. They’re selling a highly dangerous substance. The busi­ ness is fraught with danger, and the role of government is to make sure they’re operating within safe limits.”

Statements like that might be why some of the barfriendly forces in town have nicknamed Bergman Burlington’s “Eliot Ness,” the legendary agent who went after Chicago mobsters in the days of Prohibition bootleg­

B

gers and speakeasies.

“I don’t know what’s driving Gene,” says Eric Filkowski, general manager of R1 Ra, the Irish Pub on Church Street.

“He and Tom seem to think the bars are ruining Burlington.

Does the City not want to issue liquor licenses? Where do you draw the line?”

Some of the scrapping protagonists maintain that a line was drawn after last year’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities, which included a tent in the middle of College Street between Church and South Winooski Avenue that was sponsored by a few nearby bars. “Friday traffic was disrupted,” says Filkowski, stressing that Ri Ra had its own event taking place around the corner on Church Street. “The Free Press, which is typically anti-bar, led the outcry about the City facilitating drinking,” he adds. “That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Decker says the tent did not pose any significant prob­ lems for police. Niquette, on duty to monitor the event for the state liquor control department, witnessed no violations.

But the daily newspaper stirred up instant controversy about the celebration going on outside its own front door.

“The Free Press published a photo of a young person at the College Street tent holding a pint of Guiness, along with a story on a University of Vermont/Harvard University study about binge drinking,” Decker says.

The result, he says, was a flurry of letters to the editor.

The City Council also received a good deal of negative feed­ back about allowing the street to be used for a party with alcohol.

According to Smith, one such citizen response came from real-estate developer Rich Feeley, who charged that permit­ ting alcohol at a St. Patrick’s Day shindig was a cultural slur akin to serving watermelon at a Martin Luther King Day celebration.

n his “No Festivals!” newspaper ad, O ’Brien suggests that Irish Catholics are a prime target of any ban on street consumption. He also implies that Burlington could become a “wasteland,” with no Mardi Gras parade, no jazz, no spontaneity.

“Those are self-serving inaccuracies,’’.Bergman says.

“Tom’s resolution doesn’t say no tents on public streets; it just says no alcohol. Their fear-mongering is unjustified. St. Patrick’s Day did not basically change what we had been working on for quite some time prior to that, even though having it be a drunk fest has its own issues for the Irish com­ munity from a public-health standpoint.

hough they don’t rival the govern­ ment’s voluminous tax code, laws for obtain­ ing a liquor license in Vermont — and keeping it — are numerous, and bar owners and bar­ tenders have to keep them in mind at all times.

State law sets out the guidelines for applying for one of three types of liquor licenses, the pur­ chase and re-sale of alco­ holic beverages, and the operation of bars, cabarets and clubs. It can get complex — there’s a reason why many bars have attorneys at the ready.

Here’s a look at some of the “rules of the bar” currently on the books in Vermont: • Lighting in restaurants and hotels shall be of such degree that the inspector or the licensee and his agents shall be able to read the identification cards of persons at the table or counter where the person is seated.

• It shall be the duty of all licensees to control the conduct of their patrons at all times.

• No person shall carry or consume alcoholic beverages while dancing.

• No disturbances, brawls, fighting or unlawful conduct shall be permitted or suffered upon any licensed premises; nor shall such premises be conducted in such a manner as to render said premises or the streets, sidewalks or high­ ways adjacent thereto a public nuisance.

T

•No malt beverages may be drawn or served otherwise than in glasses, mugs, pitchers or other containers, of a maximum capacity of 32 ounces; nor more than 4 fluid ounces of spirituous liquor may be available to a customer at one time or used in the making of a single mixed drink, and not more than one of the above containers may be served to a customer at one time.

• Licensees ol the first class dispensing draft beer or ale shall display beer-tap signs, clearly visible to the patrons, dis­ closing the brands of beer or ale which are being dispensed.

Such signs shall be displayed on the tap ol the dispensing apparatus.

• No licensee shall serve to any cus­ tomer any brand of malt beverages, vinous beverages or spirituous liquor other than that actually ordered.

• No container may be used under beer taps to catch drip­ pings. A drain shall be provided to care for the waste.

• No alcoholic liquor shall be sold or furnished to a person apparently under the influence of liquor.

• No alcoholic liquor may be consumed on the licensed premises by any person apparently under the influence of liquor.

• No person under the influence of alcoholic liquor shall be allowed to loiter on the licensed premises.

• No alcoholic liquor shall be sold or furnished by a licens­ ee to a person under 21 years of age, nor shall a licensee permit alcoholic liquor to be consumed upon his licensed premises by a person under 21 years of age.

• A student aged 18 or older who is enrolled in a post-sec­ ondary education culinary arts program, accredited by a commission recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, shall be exempt from the provisions of this reg­

ulation while attending classes that require the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages.

• For persons of questionable age, licensees shall demand such person to exhibit an adult identification card issued by the Liquor Control Board bearing such person’s photo­ graph and signature, or a photographic operator’s license issued by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles bearing such person’s photograph and signature.

• No person under 18 years of age shall be employed or serve as a bartender.

• It shall be lawful for a person to import spirituous liquor into this state by first obtaining a permit from the Liquor Control Board and a person may import not more than 8 quarts of spirituous liquor into this state in his own pri­ vate vehicle or in his actual possession at the time of such importation without permit, providing it is not for resale.

• A spouse, child, guardian, employer or other person who is injured in person, property or means of support by an intoxicated person, or in consequence of the intoxication of any person, can sue bars — and landlords under some conditions — where the person drank, for damages and compensation.

Burlington bars with an entertainment license that hold an “all ages” or “21 and under” event have additional conditions to meet, which include: • registering the event 21 days in advance with the Police Department; • hiring one staff person — not including bouncers, waitstaff or kitchen workers — for each 25 attendees to moni­ tor compliance with liquor laws; • waiting five days after submitting the registration form to know if the Police Department will have sufficient staff available on that date to deal with expected enforcment issues; • persons under 21 must have two types of non-transferable identification at the event, such as reflective bands or hand stamps; • no one under 21 admitted after 11 p.m. or allowed re­ entry at any time. m .

Bergman contends the bar “is lucky our officers were there. The penalty is far less than if the girls had killed somebody by driving drunk. That would have been an expensive lesson for Rasputin’s.

By Buddy Lyte obody has a better view of the showdown between the City of Burlington and its bars than I do. As a bartender in one of the Queen City’s most popular college bars, I see everything going down. I’ve seen over-served cus­ tomers fall off their stools right in front of me. I’ve had to jump over the bar and get in the middle of brawls that erupt over something as small as a spilt drink. I’ve even witnessed overt sexual acts. I’ve seen a lot since I started working downtown, but what interests me

most is the city’s and state’s reac­ tion to student drinking.

I’m well versed in all the laws, old and new, concerning the sale and consumption of alcoholic bev­ erages. The Alcohol Servers Awareness Program made sure of that. But it’s only working behind the bar that you learn first-hand about liquor limits, and how hard it is to impose them. I have to determine whether a customer is intoxicated, and cut him off if nec­ essary, knowing some people can hold their liquor well, and others start slurring after their first drink.

SEVEN DAYS

february 2 1 , 2 001

omposer Samuel ColeridgeTaylor went on three tri­ umphant tours of the United States around the turn of the last century, but never traveled below the Mason-Dixon line. That’s because white Southern concertgoers were more influenced by what they saw than what they heard: the internationally renowned Coleridge-Taylor was an Englishman but had black skin. It’s a shame the politics of race kept him apart from the black Southerners whose music so enriched his own. Even so, Coleridge-Taylor’s then-popular works helped shape an American Negro cultural renaissance, led by such figures as W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington.

His name and music faded over the 20th century, but found a champion in St. Michael’s College professor William Tortolano, who wrote a biogra­ phy, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Anglo-Black Composer, 18751912, in 1977. The book didn’t exactly make Coleridge-Taylor a household name again — in fact, most people understand­ ably confuse him with the English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. But it did restore the composer’s rightful status in the history of classical music, and in hincaxi-American history.

For both these reasons Tortolano was selected to make some history of his own this year: He was the first white Scholar-in-Residence at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Adanta. Invited by the Center and its residency partner, National Public Radio, Tortolano spent a week last month teaching nine courses on Coleridge-Taylor to students at Spelman and Morehouse col­ leges. He also introduced the composer’s works on NPR, prior to the “King Celebration 2001,” during which the Adanta Symphony performed ColeridgeTaylor’s Ballade in A Minor, Op. 33, and the Morehouse and Spelman glee clubs sang his “Lift Up Your Heads.”

Tortolano did more introduc­ tions at two concert events with the Atlanta Symphony. In addi­ tion, he exhibited his personal col­ lection — the world’s largest — of Coleridge-Taylor’s manuscripts, music, books and memorabilia, at Morehouse College. For a residen-

cy that lasted only one week, “that was plenty,” Tortolano quips.

It was a hectic seven days for the 71-year-old professor emeritus, but Tortolano is accustomed to keeping busy, even in his so-called retirement. He still teaches parttime at St. Michael’s and performs on the pipe organ “whenever I'm needed,” he says modestly. This from a man who has played for the Pope, and just last year gave a con­ cert while a visiting Fellow at Trinity College in England.

During his 38 full-time years at the college, Tortolano founded the Fine Arts Department and taught classes in conducting, music theory and history, as well as humanities.

He also directed the chorale, designed the school’s Cassavant pipe organ and performed fre­ quently as an organist — on and off campus. He’s still the organist

onmissi! rriTTOni for the college and the Shelburne Museum, and continues to direct a St. Mike’s summer concert series.

Tortolano’s musical scholarship extends all the way back to the Middle Ages. His has written four books, including Beginning Studies in Gregorian Chant— one of the first, and still one of few, guides to reading chant. Tortolano studied and researched the subject at the Abbey of St. Pierre de Solesmes in France.

Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Tortolano is no

This week in the arts at slouch in Italian history, either — including his own. He’s the past president of the Vermont Italian Cultural Association.

So how did a fellow with medieval European interests dis­ cover a 20th-century composer of African descent? “When I was a young man I knew an English priest who had been a musician, and when he was a student he had attended college with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Ralph Vaughan Williams,” Tortolano explains. “The priest showed me his music, and I was fascinated by it — and the concept that he was black and English.” The reason for his own research and book, he adds, was because of the music.

Tortolano describes ColeridgeTaylor’s music as “conservative in many ways, very English. He sounds a lot like Vaughan Williams.” But when he incorpo­ rated Negro spirituals, his music became “very colorful,” according to Tortolano. “He doesn’t play a . folk tune, but rebuilds it and redevelops it to create a distinctive sound.” Coleridge-Taylor’s musi­ cal influences included Antonin Dvorak, whose music was also informed by folk traditions, as well as black music from Africa and the United States.

Being an Anglo-African classi­ cal composer in any era is distinc­ tion enough, but in his time Coleridge-Taylor was quite wellknown. A musical prodigy with a white English mother and black father, a physician from Sierra Leone, his talents were recognized and nurtured at an early age. And that’s fortunate, because his life ended at a still-young 37. In all, Coleridge-Taylor created eight anthems, three short works for organ, numerous works based on African or Black American themes and several large choral works.

Among the latter, his cantata “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” — later arranged as an orchestral suite — was once as beloved as Handel’s Messiah, according to Tortolano. The work was based on the poem by Longfellow, who, along with Walt Whitman and black authors, was a favorite of Coleridge-Taylor’s.

Tortolano has no illusions that a Coleridge-Taylor revival is imminent — the style, he con­ cedes, is “dated.” But as music, like fashions, falls in and out of favor, there is still hope. He gave a talk and demonstration a few years ago at a local Martin Luther King Jr. ceremony. But he’s “kind of disappointed,” Tortolano admits, that he hasn’t been asked to perform or conduct a Coleridge-Taylor concert in i ; ‘ ■ Vermont.

■i 1 To generations of students, though, he’s imparted the signifi­ cance of this composer. “He was an international figure, and his African-American brothers here in the U.S. were inspired by him,” L Tortolano says. A mixed-race product of two very different cultural traditions, Coleridge-Taylor^.; was motivated to investigate his musical roots. It’s no wonder that the gifted young composer found resonance with American blacks and their indigenous, spiritual .V. music. “He became inspired by this,” says Tortolano. “It became V > part of his mission.” ®

B y C h r is M c D onald rime the engine three times by pumping the choke.

Turn the key and hear the engine turn over immediately.

Adjust the throttle to around 1000 rpm. Watch the gauges; wait for the oil temperature and pressure needles to rise into oper­ ating ranges. Turn on and test the radios; contact the controller and announce intentions: “Cessna 649 Quebec is taxiing to active runway one-nine.” Rev the engine, check both magnetrons.

Announce intentions again, in preparation for take-off: “Cessna

649 is taking runway one-nine.”

Full throttle.

Seconds later, at a speed that feels impossibly slow to one accustomed to jet travel, Jerry Trudeau and I are lifted from the frozen grass and drifting snow at Shelburne’s tiny airfield. We keep climbing, and now were turning.

Mt. Mansfield seems just a few miles away, filling our entire field of view. It feels like the best piggy-back ride I’ve ever had. It does not feel like an art project.

But it is, or part of one, any­ way. Trudeau is an aerial photog­ rapher, and one of about a dozen artists who will participate in the

“Process/Progress 3” show open­ ing this Friday at the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Burlington. Now in its third year, the annual exhibit was conceived by gallery curator Pascal Spengemann as a way to show the public what it takes to pro­ duce a work of art. Or, as Spengemann puts it, “to bridge the gulf that often exists between the artists and their audience.”

Over the next month, the artists will be working on their respective contributions to “Process/Progress” on location in the gallery. Anyone can walk into the Firehouse and see original

artwork taking shape. You might say it adds an element of per­ formance to the process, as cre­ ators accustomed to working in isolation are suddenly confronted with an audience.

Trudeau doesn’t have to worry too much about big crowds in his two-seater. His project involves an array of cubes repre­ senting the four seasons, each decorated with abstract aerial photos of the Vermont country­ side. Other projects include a computer-aided collage, by David Powell, and sculptures by Abbie Murdock and Tom Beale.

“The process of art is about

making choices,” notes Spengemann. “Artists who are good have a clear understanding of the choices they intend to make and share with others through their work. . . They don’t have anything to hide.”

Trudeau has been a licensed pilot since 1980, and caught the “shutterbug,” as he calls it, almost immediately after he start­ ed flying. “A friend lent me his camera one day, and all of a sud­ den I found myself burning up roll after roll of film.” Although he has no formal schooling in photography, he read everything he could get his hands on.

driving a cab in Washington, D.C., for 10 years, Trudeau final­ ly moved to New York City in 1988 to begin a full-time career in photography, shooting con­ struction sites for architects and real estate firms.

As he improved, Trudeau became more and more fascinat­ ed with the artistic possibilities of aerial photography — especially the possibilities afforded by the Vermont counfryside. He came to Burlington in 1998. “I’m real­ ly interested in the patterns formed by ice and rock and verti­ cal images, although, the other day,” he confides, clearly delight­ ed, “I shot some really good panoramas. Oh, man, I can’t wait for you to see them.” When I suggest his enthusiasm is conta­ gious, he protests with a laugh, “It’s not me, man, it’s those mountains!”

“When I was first learning, and when I began doing com­ mercial work, I would just press that shutter button as many times as I could in one flight,” Trudeau says. “I’d get a few good shots, but they were sort of happy accidents. Now I work both quickly and deliberately.

Every shot counts, and I am very comfortable going up with one roll of film. There’s a slightly dif­ ferent process used for every shot, but that’s what I like about it. There is nothing accidental about it anymore, and it is infi­ nitely more satisfying.”

Much of Trudeaus “process,”

of course, is in the sky. Today we’ve been blessed with fantastic flying weather, maybe 50 miles of visibility, not even a thread of cir­ rus in the way of our spectacular view. “Oh, yeah,” yells Trudeau, fiddling alternately with the con­ trols of the aircraft and those of his camera. Then he turns to me and repeats: “Oh, yeaahhhh!”

that I’m going to end up in a dif­ ferent place than I began.

Now we’re skipping gently across the top of the air current that sweeps through the Champlain Valley, getting a run­ ning start before bounding over the Green Mountains. Trudeau tilts the plane to the left, opens his window and lets go of the

Suddenly I want to meet as many artists as I can — even those who don’t come with airplanes.

We pass over the town of Stowe toward the Worcester range, then bank to the left and head back to Smuggler’s Notch.

Since there’s really no way to say it better, I respond in kind.

I understand very little about art myself; I know what I like, but not necessarily why I like it.

And I agree with Spengemann that it’s harder to appreciate art­ work when the processes that cre­ ated it remain a mystery. But today, as we pass over farms and villages scattered across the foothills, and as Trudeau begins to take his pictures, I feel like I’m getting somewhere. Even though we’ll be landing at the same airstrip in about an hour, I sense

controls for a long moment to snap a few pictures. Left to itself, the plane veers unnervingly and begins a shallow dive. Suddenly we’re looking down at the Long Trail as it crosses the highest ridge in Vermont, and Trudeau is snapping skiers on the other side.

He closes the window and retakes the controls, and the ride smoothes out again. Trudeau turns to me again with a broad grin — neither of us has stopped smiling since we took off.

Realizing that this flight is just the beginning of a process that

Trudeau again opens the window, tilts the plane on its side, and snaps picture after picture of the rock formations climbing the walls of the gorge. I’m wondering where the peregrines nest when I see the chin of Mt. Mansfield ris­ ing directly in front of us.

Trudeau gives the aircraft the slightest bit of rudder by pressing down on the right pedal, and we pass within a few hundred feet above and to the north of the face. He takes a couple of shots over the chin, towards the dark silhouette of Camel’s Hump,

shouting with satisfaction. One more pass, and it’s time to head back to Shelburne.

Processes I don’t pretend to understand put this plane togeth­ er, make the engine run, and lift it off an airstrip. Today, as Trudeau teaches me the rudi­ ments of flying, I’m growing more intrigued by the minute. I can’t wait to fly again, and I want to see how Trudeau transforms this experience into art. In fact, I’m beginning to expand my notions about what constitutes art in the first place. I decide to spend some time down at the Firehouse Gallery this month.

Spengemann can count one convert — even before the show has opened. “It’s less about acces­ sibility than about demystifica­ tion of process,” says the curator.

“W hat do artists do? W hat con­ stitutes an art action or an art object or an art idea, and what differentiates it from walking down the street? T hat’s where it gets really interesting.” ® “Process/Progress 3 ” begins this Friday and remains through April 1 at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. A reception for the fin ­ ished artworks will be March 23, 5 -7 p. m. Gallery hours are noon 6 p. m. daily; until 8 p. m. Fridays.

Jerry Trudeau gives free slide shows at 8 p. m. on Wednesdays at the Frame Game in Williston, where his prints are also on exhibit.

B y P ip V a u g h a n -H ughes n the follow-up to his 1999 novel, The Story o f a Million Years, Burlington writer David Huddle turns his attentions to Vermont small-town life. More specifically, he focuses on Claire McClelland, a Bennington therapist, in a sequence of short works that together comprise a novella-length work of fic­ tion.

The first story, “Village Tale,” is told by Danny Marlow, town roue and Claires secret lover.

Recently widowed, Claire has been taking comfort in Danny’s well-honed roman­ tic skills on the plush car­ pet of her office. But, as Danny reveals, the relation­ ship has no future, let alone a present. He fantasizes about taking her out in public, “stepping out onto the dance floor and making peoples jaws drop. Ms. Absolutely Wonderful and Mr. Total Disgrace, the lovely couple — in your face, Bennington, Vermont!” But Claire makes perfectly plain that this will never happen. And when Danny tries to take their affair to a new level of intimacy, he is painfully rebuffed.

The middle story, “Wherever I am N ot,” is in the third person and fol­ lows Claire’s late husband Ben through the last morn­ ing of his life. A Bennington College academic, he is overcome by a sudden urge to call his exwife, Julie. She was waiting for his call, she reveals, and then confesses that, years ago, she had an affair with their mutual best friend. In turn, Ben hints that he is not altogether happy in his

It would take a longer and, deeper book than this to

attention the way I should have been, and it just got snatched right away from me.”

“Try to talk to Claire,” is Julie’s advice. And he almost does, but instead tells his current wife something else, a funny, irrelevant story. But he has gained some measure of self-reve­

lation, and in his last minutes before the freak accident that kills him, the puzzle of his life assembles itself in his mind.

In the third story, “Not,” Claire is the narra­ tor. Her life has suddenly collapsed. As she describes it: It wasn't a sudden crash. It was more the way a sodden paper bag releases — dumps! — its load o f groceries. Except in this case the groceries were the basic assumptions o f my life and my profession. I stood there trying to catch one or two o f them, to save something from falling. Everything was slipping out o f my arms and through my fingers.

Claire has decided to commit suicide, but not impulsively; her chosen method requires careful ■ planning and lots of time.

Her grandfather left her an abandoned farm on a Lincoln mountainside, and she intends to live there, in an old cave, until the moment is right for her to overdose on anti­ depressants. As she explains, “My only requirement is that I have ample opportunity to feel and to think. In the moment I choose to leave this world, I want to be as present in it as I have ever been.”

But, as Claire discov­ ers, it is harder than she realized to truly escape, and her ties to life are surprising­ ly strong.

The Story o f a Million Years, at 190 pages, was a very short novel, and admirers of its often luminous writing may have looked forward to longer and more developed offerings from Huddle in the future. Alas, Not:

JE W E L E R S In C .

A Trio is a mere 105 pages in length, and has little of the insight of its predecessor.

Treating linked short stories as chapters in a larger work is always an ambitious way to structure a novel. Here, what are described in the title as two sto­ ries and a novella add up to little more than a curt novella them­ selves. Huddle, an English pro­ fessor at the University of Vermont and a distinguished poet, is also an experienced writer of short stories, so it was a surprise to find a distinct lack of depth in these tales. Short-story writing is all about distillation, the reduction of action, thought or mood down to resonant brevity. There is brevity here, but a worrying lack of resonance.

Huddle proved himself a fine writer of fiction with his first novel, but here he seems, curi­ ously, to have unlearned his skills. Taken singly, none of these stories has life enough to leave much impression. Taken as a whole, they would make a fine first fifth of a longer book, with all the character development yet to come. Part of the trouble is that Huddle has chosen to explore everyday lives — all well and good, but quotidian human­ ity per se isn’t necessarily very interesting. The great masters of this kind of writing, people like John Updike and Richard Ford, are able to pinpoint the shining fragments of interest in the dayto-day, the things that make our own lives interesting but are too tiny or fleeting to concentrate upon as they happen. Their sto­ ries are anatomy classes in the human condition, the capillaries and nerves laid bare for all to see. Huddle does not go that deep; indeed, at times he seems hardly to scratch the surface, relying instead on clumsy dra­ matic devices — the most glar­

ing of which is Ben’s last-minute epiphany. We have to take Huddle’s word for it that Claire, Danny and Ben are interesting.

They may be, but it would take a longer and deeper book than this to prove it.

In the novella part of the book, however, things do improve. Huddle hits his stride again, even if not consistently.

There are some lovely bursts of observation, offered as part of Claire’s flow of thoughts: The smell o f a Vermont momand-pop with a wooden floor: candy/cheese/kerosene/bubblegum.

They ought to market it as a fra­ grance in New York.

As Claire retreats further into her isolation and depression, her voice takes on more clarity and even poetry. Her character becomes more “real” in the final pages, but just as the reader is about to step into her world, the book reaches its end, finished but not resolved. This seems like a mistake, as does the deliberate ambiguity of the ending. The writing has gathered strength only to be cut off in full flow.

This criticism is born of frus­ tration, not indifference.

Huddle’s Story brought a poet’s eye to a tangle of related lives and to the defining event that linked them. These days there certainly aren’t enough poets with the inclination or ability to bring their art to bear on fiction.

Unlike The Story o f a Million Years, Not: A Trio seems to lack conviction in the novel as a liv­ ing, vital form.

Hopefully that isn’t the case, because Huddle has the skill to produce challenging, absorbing fiction. Perhaps we should take this as another short-story collec­ tion and continue to wait, with eager anticipation, for his next real novel. ®

Fare Judgment

K n it! because y o u don't fiave t e f

By Jernigan Pontiac he Sheraton, cabbie.

And if it’s all right, I’d like to stop for ciga­ rettes.” Sitting in the rear, my fare is a lanky man with dark, oily hair and a two-day stubble.

His jacket looks new, but insuf­ ficient for the cold Vermont night.

“Sure,” I reply. “There’s a Mobil right across the street from the hotel. We can stop there for smokes.”

This guy has got to be another one, I think. I’ve been driving these men around for a few weeks. There’s a feeling around them, like a dark cloud, like bad karma.

“I don’t know how you boys take it,” he says, his accent some variation of a Southeast­ ern twang. “This weather is unearthly. W hat kind of people would want to live in this kind of deep freeze?”

Those are fighting words, or nasty ones at any rate. But I don’t take the bait. It’s taken me 40 years to finally nail this one down: When you take the bait, you get a barbed hook through your lip, and then someone yanks you around.

“W hat brings you up this way?” I ask, wanting to confirm my hunch.

“Oh, we’re up filling in for the striking electrical workers.

We’re out of here this week.

That’s not one minute too soon for me, bet me tell you. The union just settled the strike. I think they got about eight cents an hour. W hat a bunch of losers.”

Bingo. Green Mountain Power workers have been on strike, and the company flew in “replacement” workers from out of state. I have the sense they’re getting big bucks, along with accommodations in swank hotels. Yeah, I know, power generation is an essential ser­ vice, and GMP can’t simply shut down the grid during a strike. Still, it feels like blood money to me.

I hustle up the Main Street hill, biting my tongue. Nothing I want to say to this guy would be kind. It would all be

admonishment and chastise­ ment, and why his choices in life don’t cut it. Wouldn’t that be helpful? You haven’t lived until you’ve heard The World According to Jernigan.

I stop at Spillane’s. He gets his Marlboros. We continue across Williston Road to the Sheraton, and pull up to the lobby door of the hotel. “Six bucks,” I say, as icy as the weather.

“Six bucks?” he bellows with a combination of outrage and disdain. “How in hell can

the huge ti T . . yet I’m still agitated about the guy being a scab.

you ask six bucks for this ride?”

T hat’s it, I think, feeling magma bubble up from my gut. I pause a second in order to compose the coming tirade. It’s going to be some­ thing along the lines of, “Well, stuff it! You can just keep your mingy Southern ass out of Vermont, coming up here living off the backs of Vermont workers!” Yeah, that’ll do.

“Hey!” I begin, swiveling in my seat to confront him direct­ ly. “I’m gonna tell you some­ thing, man. Don’t be — ” “I think 20 bucks is more

like it,” he interjects, pulling a 20-dollar bill from his wallet.

“You work hard; you deserve it.”

“U h... uh... well, u h ...,“ I stutter as he grins at me, the 20 still in his grip.

I’m feeling a lot of contra­ dictory things at once. I had the guy dialed in as a creep, and here he goes laying a 20 on me. I appreciate the huge tip and am grateful for his generos­ ity, yet I’m still agitated about the guy being a scab. I want the money but I know where it’s coming from, and I feel guilty about taking it. I’m in brain freeze.

Finally, after a pause that must seem strange to him, I take the money. “Thanks for the tip, man,” I say. “I appreci­ ate it.”

“No problemo,” he says, opening his door. “Here’s another tip: Move down to South Carolina. This here cold is horse crap. C ’mon down and live a little, for chrissake!”

I erupt in a deep belly laugh in spite of myself, because the opinionated, judgmental part of me really wants to stay pissed off. It’s not the money per se, but the man’s largesse has opened a window. Someone who had been one-dimensional — a stock player in my person­ al morality play — suddenly becomes a living, breathing human being.

“That second tip I’ll have to decline,” I say with a chuck­ le. “I bet South Carolina has all kinds of allure, but it’s not for me. I guess I’m rooted here in Vermont. Maybe this weath­ er is horse crap, like you say, but I’ll tell ya — if you really, really like horses, horse crap ain’t the worst thing in the world.”

As I drive to my next pick­ up at the Woolen Mill, I think about the changes that have come with age. When I was younger it seemed I knew a great deal about life. The good guys and the bad guys were dis­ tinct and evident to me.

Everything was securely black or white. Now it’s not just my hair that seems to be going gray. ®

Back in Burlington, it must be noted that DJ Hector Cobeo prefers to let the bon temps ole— with another Latin Dance Party, this Saturday at the St. John’s Club. Pass the salsa.

URBAN COWBOYS? Jazz fans may have taken note that Tuckaway’s at the Sheraton has discontinued live music on Saturday nights. But when one venue goes down, seems like another rises to take its place. Just not necessarily the same kind. That would be true in the case o f Burlington’s V FW Post 782 on South Winooski Ave., which launches a music mini-series this Saturday with the country-rock band Borderline. It’s an early show — 7 p.m. — to accom­ modate the vets with early bedtimes, I suppose, and includes an “open kitchen,” whatever that means. Look for more hoe-downs in the near future.

BON TEMPS DEPT. The Magic Hat Mardi Gras arrives like a piping-hot poboy to warm up Burlington in February, if only for a few hours. After some confusion and negotiation, Canada’s mega-popular blues-rockers Tea Party were finally confirmed as the lucky lads to lead the block party on Church Street after the parade this Saturday. Meanwhile, a couple members of Mango Jam take it indoors for an acoustic set of zydeco. Later on, the Marketplace will give new meaning to “Big Easy,” bordered on one end by a “Drag Queen Survivor” night with the Sisters Lemay at 135 Pearl, and a hip-hop-styled Masquerade Ball at Millennium on the other. And speaking of masks: Fat Tuesday gets going Friday with a Masquerade Ball at Higher Ground, featuring BabalOO and Shakes Sanora. “Were going to deck the place out,” vows Magic H at’s Stacey Steinmetz. A queen and king will be crowned from among the “most uniquely attired,” she adds. There will be all-’round bawdiness, and that’s a promise. But bring a designated driver, ’cuz the Chittenden County sheriffs reportedly will be conducting sobriety tests the whole weekend. Nobody wants to earn any temps in a cell block.

Burlington doesn’t have the corner on Mardi Gras in Vermont, however — the N ’Awlins-inspired event seems to be catching on all over the north country.

Also Friday night, edified presents brings The VOFCZa Trio, with The Bon Temps Horns, and Dad to the Billingham Grange Hall in Duxbury. That fami­ ly-oriented event features some giant puppets as well as the usual beads and bands. Saturday evening the full Mango Jam, with SambatUCada, will put a shimmy-shake in Montpelier’s City Hall Auditorium.

Last but not least, Killington’s Wobbly Barn holds out until the real mardi for its fifth annual Mardi Gras Ball, organized by Kid Money and the Ancient Krewe Of the Roostertail, and featuring the ever-popular Mango Jam. (Guess zydeco bands get a lot of work this time of year.) The Wobbly also crowns a king and queen, and serves up all sorts of Creole and Cajun food to boot.

NOBBY REED PROJECT, CURE FOR THE BLUES (selfreleased, CD) — The blues is a deceptively simple genre.

Almost anyone can learn the rudiments of the form, but it’s the subtleties and feel that distinguish the real thing from the merely generic. On their new disc, Cure for the Blues, the Nobby Reed Project easily make the cut with a set of modern electric blues that is equal parts Texas and Chicago. Reed penned all 10 tracks here and, while he’s not exactly breaking any new ground — lyrically or oth­ erwise — the songs provide a more-than-adequate plat­ form for the all-important playing and singing.

NRP breathe life into these tunes, and that breath smells kinda like beer... and cigarettes... and whiskey... and — well, you get the idea. Reed himself belts out all the vocals in a strong, rough, versatile, low tenor, and rips it up on (mostly) Stratocaster guitar. Bassist Tim Comings and drummer Eric Belrose lock it in-the-pocket with fluid good taste and grace. Several cuts also fea­ ture the welcome addition of Scott Dubois on B-3 organ, keys and harp.

Cure for the Blues was recorded — in 10 hours — at West Street Digital by Andre Maquera, who also co-pro­ duced and mixed with Reed. The disc sounds real crisp and snappy, but is perhaps a bit cold and too clean at times. Reed’s always-awesome guitar tone, though, does much to warm things up.

My personal fave tracks were the bouncy, concise instrumentals, “Swing Thing” and “Kiss Me,” and the almost surf-like “Joy Ride.” “The Rev” sounds like The Beatles’ “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” inna Wilson Pickett stylee. Can’t say I was diggin’ the sorta cheesy George Bensonish guitar and scat doubling on the title track, and I was also troubled by Reed’s foray into metally hot licks on “Praying the Blues.”

Quibbles aside, these guys do it right, avoiding pit-

falls such as excess and nervousness that plague lesser practitioners. Blues fans tend not to be too obsessed with originality. Style and authenticity count for much more, and Cure for the Blues contains a healing dose of both.

DO GOOD DEPT. You might call it a self-serving benefit, but at least the enter­ tainment’s good: Burlington rapper Fattie Bum ballatie and friends have orga­ nized an evening with DJ Craig M itch ell — visiting his former homebase from his new one, NYC — DJ Hedfonz, Eye Oh YOU (that’s Fattie and Konflik, with DJ A-Dog) for the purpose of funding Hop 3 and 4. Those are the two latest in the compilation series of hip-hop/trip-hop, jungle, acid-jazz and other dancerelated genres, issued by Big Heavy World. Volume 3 is an uptempo/house/ club mix, we’re told, while numero quatro will be the “chillout/late-night/comehome-to mix.” This Thursday at Metronome, get down with the rhymes and make the music happen.

february 2 1 , 2001

released, CD) — A man passed me on Burlington’s Church Street a few weeks ago, so funky that I felt the need to boogie just being near him. In an ankle-length fur coat, feather-accented black-felt fedora and that inde­ finable quality known as funk oozing from his every pore, he stood out among the locals like a peacock in a chicken coop. “And everything you are about to do,” I murmured in awe, quoting a sample whose origins are lost to the ether, “will be extremely funky.”

For those who think the musical phenomenon called funk peaked in the ’70s with Parliament, it’s time for some schooling. Funk defies time and space; it is an energy, an attitude; it goes beyond color. Some hip-hop is funky, some dance music is funky. Listening to funk will not make you funky, but it is a good place to start.

Original funksters include, of course, James Brown, the righteous Maceo Parker, the Greyboy Allstars. You can have soul but no funk, but you cannot have funk with­ out soul.

Burlington’s eight-piece Grippo Funk Band is trying hard to spread the funktastic vibe. Their new CD, Live on Stage, was recorded over two evenings at Club Metronome, and manages to capture some of the natural exuberance that funk requires. Frontman Dave Grippo’s sax playing is brash and confident — which is mandato­ ry for a band that covers songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Al Green and the aforementioned Godfather.

The banter between songs works to reinforce the live aspect of the recording. This becomes slightly contradic­ tory when, just before the final track, Grippo introduces the band and claims, “We’re just getting warmed up!”

But that’s a small quibble. Live on Stage opens with a rolling, peppy version of “Butter Fat,” setting the mood for what initially seems an album of classic, free-form funk. But then the GFB surprises. By bringing in Konflik and Fattie B to rhyme on top of the instrumen­ tal, the band turns the current trend in hip-hop — sam­ pling old-school artists — on its head. The resulting melange is not overshadowed by comparisons with the original artists, and allows the GFB to move beyond the narrow confines of literal imitation. v Which is what the listener is presented with on the next track, a cover of Browns “Got the Feeling.” This is the first time we hear Aaron Hersey’s throaty vocals,

which is too bad, as the man has a rich, compelling voice. Still, when he sings “baby, baby, baby,” you can’t help but feel it’s a pale shadow of Browns soul-wrench­ ing hollering. If the tracks had been re-arranged, this first contact could have been smoother — Wonder’s “I Wish,” for example, would not have created the immedi­ ate clash with the instantly recognizable Brown.

The covers are enjoyable on most counts, fueled by a funky vibe and catchy riffs. The devotion to the original sound, however, could have been broken up a bit to allow for more of Grippo’s own flair to shine through.

Perhaps, over the course of an evening, they stray increasingly further off the well-beaten path of covering other artists’ work. And since their originals are just as funky as the classics, a more evenly balanced collection of old and new might have provided a better introduc­ tion to the GFB. The ensemble is made up of first-rate musicians, many of whom have roles in other bands. Trombonist James Harvey could come across more assertively — per­ haps his recording levels were off. Keyboardist Bruce Sklar hovers in the background until the final two tracks, when he bursts to the fore with solos on Charles’ “Hallelujah,” and the original “Roll Call.” That would have been a nice way to close the album, but an unlisted track, “Soul Power,” delivers a final helping of juicy funk. Sklar is manic, Hersey is wailing; in fact, all the GFB seem to be in the groove. You can hear the smiles on their faces, even behind the horns.

Live on Stage is an ample, but still second-hand, funk fix — the kind that makes you wish you’d been there.

The good thing is, you still can be. Check out Grippo and company most Monday nights at Red Square.

continued from page 5a in popular culture. He points to the annual 4-20 public pot­ smoking celebration that occurs at college campuses across the country, including the University of Vermont. True enough, each April 20 of late, UVM students have gathered en masse outside the Bailey-Howe library to play music and toke up on marijuana.

So far, local law enforcement has turned a blind eye on the event, permitting the public law-break­ ing to go on without disruption.

Budweiser’s man under the ' golden dome is absolutely right when he suggests that if the stu­ dents added a couple beer kegs to the festivities, theyd be busted quicker than you could say, “This Bud’s for you.”

Campaigning House to House

— In Big Bad Burlap the race for mayor is being waged room-toroom. Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelie recently kicked off his reelection campaign by inviting the local press into his kitchen.

His Republican challenger coun­ tered this week by inviting the press into his dining room. Can the bedrooms be far off?

Republican city councilor Kevin Curley, however, didn’t get a big media turnout for his Monday press conference at his West Road hacienda in the city’s New North End. Just Ch. 3 and yours truly. Nice house.

Kevin, who appeared to be home alone, sat at the dining room table as he unleashed a bar­ rage of criticism at the incum­ bent. It would have helped if we’d checked our sense of reality at the door. Squirrely Curley, as usual, threw everything but the kitchen sink into his effort.

Among many hits, Mr. Curley maintained a straight face as he blamed the Progressive mayor for not doing enough to support affordable housing.

Interesting. Councilor Curley had just voted against the 40unit affordable housing project earmarked for the bottom of Depot Street near the lakefront.

And Curley did not mention the 1200 new housing units added during Clavelle’s reign as mayor.

Mr. Curley also said that, if elected, he will ask UVM and the Mary Fanny to “help finance affordable home-ownership for their long-term, moderate and lower-paid employees.”

Sounds like communism, doesn’t it?

And Curley told the press he’d definitely put more cops on the downtown beat to prevent muggings. He didn’t mention a specific mugging, but said there’s a perception that downtown Burlington is not safe.

“One mugging in a parking garage,” said Squirrely, and it’s like a black eye on the city.

People are afraid to come park in the garages. “You talk to people out-of-town,” he said, “and they say, ‘I don’t want to shop in - Burlington.’ They’re only hurting

M aM m * themselves,” added Curley, nod­ ding towards his living room.

“I’ve got some furniture in there we bought at Filene’s. You can buy furniture there cheaper than anywhere else!”

Nice plug.

Let’s see, now. Quiz time.

Who’s the guy who brought Filene’s to town after years and years of trying? Who’s the guy who made it possible for Kevin Curley to get such a deal on his living room furniture?

Peter Clavelle, that’s who.

As we mentioned earlier, it appeared Candidate Curley was home alone at his West Road res­ idence Monday afternoon. But on the way out, the Sherlock Holmes in us noticed two empty dog dishes on the kitchen floor.

“Where’s the dog?” we asked.

“In the basement,” he replied.

“What about your wife?” we inquired.

“She’s in the basement, too.”

Cool. At last, a clear differ­ ence between the candidates.

Mayor Moonie, the Progressive, had his wife sitting by his side when he had his recent kitchen press conference. And his little Cairns terrier, Alfred, was hop­ ping around taking in the scene like a good little doggie.

But Candidate Squirrely, a Republican, put his wife and dog out of media sight, hiding them in the basement. What does that say?

Perhaps Mr. Curley might consider holding his next press conference in the basement?

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Curley was scheduled to be in Montpeculiar with his hand out.

Republican Big Dogs were spon­ soring a fundraiser for Burling­ ton’s longshot GOP mayoral can­ didate at the Captiol Plaza Hotel starting at 4:30. House Speaker Walter Freed and Sen. John Bloomer, the Senate minority leader, were the hosts. Certainly the Dorset Speaker and the Rutland senator have Burling­ ton’s best interests at heart. A $25 check made out to “Curley for Mayor” is the admission tick­ et. Wonder if Kevin brought the wife and dog?

Asked about the Curley fundraiser Tuesday, Mayor Moonie recalled hosting Freed on a tour of the city last week.

“It was a worthwhile visit,” said Clavelle. “He’s not as far to the right as I perceived him to be.”

As for Speaker Walt hosting a political fundraiser for his oppo­ nent, Mayor Moonie didn’t take it personally. “He has party dues to pay,” said Clavelle. “I under­ stand that.”

As for Curley hiding his wife and dog down in the basement Monday, Clavelle was of no help.

The mayor told Seven Days Mr. and Mrs. Curley attended his recent Christmas party. “She’s attractive,” said Clavelle of Curley’s spouse. He had nothing to offer on Curley’s dog.

Stay tuned. ®

the man behind the m onum ent I cannot tell a lie. Even though he was instrumental in winning the Revolutionary War and virtually invented the American presidency, George Washington remains a mystery. Was the father of our country born poor or privileged? Was he a slaveholder who grew rich at the public’s expense? W ho knows? Prize-winning author, journalist and Washington biographer Willard Sterne Randall sheds light on the other George W. in a “Farmer’s Night” address.

In the morning, Chipman will emerge to give what’s certain to be a spirited performance.

ecause we are earth-bound creatures, we always seek an “up” and a “down’ in paint­ ings — even in the most abstract works.

Axel Stohlberg’s exhibition, “Landscrapes,” at City Center in Montpelier is a collection of 17 small works on paper and canvas that are both abstraction and landscape. In most of them, Stohlberg creates space with one of the simplest devices an artist can use — the horizon line.

The Water­ bury artist also works with a limited range of hues in each piece, and keeps his forms as basic as the spaces that sur­ round them.

DE SADE STORY Rush plays the kinky Marquis in his tragic last days.

QUILLS**** Philip Kaufman serves up a deliciously wicked and wellrounded buffet of fun with his adaptation of Doug Wright’s play about the Marquis de Sade’s last days. Set in a cavernous mad­ house outside Paris at the turn of the 19th century, the freewheel­ ing freak show features Geoffrey Rush as the infamous aristocratturned-pornographer, Joaquin Phoenix as the young abbey who takes on the task of helping him find salvation, and Michael Caine as the asylum head sent by Napoleon himself to silence the Marquis.

Rush turns in a souped-up, many-colored performance. In the beginning, the writer has the run of the place. He’s a prince among madmen, and Rush plays de Sade as a gleeful­ ly self-impressed peacock who knows he has the power to stir all kinds of things in people with his words. The inmates love him, of course. Being imprisoned with him is like

having a lifetime supply of free porn. Staff even succumb to his unhinged jo i de vivre. Kate Winslet costars as a young laun­ dress who is taken in by him and risks her position by taking his dirty scribblings out with his dirty sheets so they can make their way to his publisher.

It’s a classic McMurphy vs.

Nurse Ratchett, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest-sty\c set-up: Caine plays the stuffed-shirt lawand-order defender of decency and Rush makes a fool of him again and again by somehow publishing scandalous new work from within the walls. Little by little, Caine strips Rush of his privileges and pleasures. De Sade’s shabby-chic furniture and his paintings are carried off, to his defiant amusement. When his parchment and writing quills are removed, however, the writer snaps. Well, you know, more than he already had.

The second half of the film descends into ever deeper dark­ ness as de Sade struggles to find

one dementedly inventive way after another to purge his brain of its deranged daydreams by putting them in print. Kaufman layers on the levels of resonance deftly, careful not to hit the viewer over the head with them — the sadomasochistic nature of religious self-denial, the insidi­ ous hypocrisy, the inability of creativity to flourish outside an atmosphere of freedom, the responsibility of the artist to his society and the very purpose of art itself.

You’d never know Quills was such a deep, meaningful movie, though, what with all the potty talk, zany circus geek-type inmates and naked people doing naughty stuff. T hat’s the beauty of Kaufman’s latest. The director of Henry and June and The Unbearable Lightness o f Being, he’s always been fascinated by the meeting place of art and sex. For the first time, he’s managed to make a movie on the subject that’s fascinating for the audi­ ence, too. ®

Shows you the importance o f detail, bub. Lately one of the lit­ tle researchers has been getting petroleum and plutonium mixed up. I’m not sending this kid out to gas up the Toyota any time soon.

You told me privately you saw the article describing the flee­ ing worms in Maxim or S tu jf neither of which, it’s safe to say, is a peer-reviewed journal. You apparently then threw the magazine away, which is what the Teeming Millions always do when entrusted with vital artifacts. However, having perused the files, I think what you’re talking about is not tapeworm, as you (proba­ bly) incorrectly guessed (again), but rather roundworm, specifical­ ly the large intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. These guys, the medical literature informs us, “may migrate up the esophagus and enter the air passages, especially when they are irri­ tated by certain drugs or anesthetic agents.” So maybe when they put you under, the worms hightail it out of you like rats deserting a sinking ship.

That said, I haven’t been able to find any cases in the medical journals of this actually occurring — and they report everything in the medical journals. Here’s a sampling of what I did find: • A 23-year-old inebriated male got beaten silly with a baseball bat. (The people in these stories tend to have multiple problems.)

The surgeons sewed him back together without incident, but when it was over he coughed up a 15-centimeter roundworm.

• A 50-year-old man was hit by a car and arrived at the hospital comatose. After two days he developed respiratory arrest followed by heart failure and death. A postmortem exam revealed a 25centimeter roundworm in the tracheal tube inserted to help him breathe.

• A 64-year-old male had heart surgery but had numerous prob­ lems afterward, including multiple organ failure. Ten days after the operation a 20-centimeter roundworm was pulled out of his tracheal tube. Smaller worms were later seen in the bedsheets, and X-rays revealed several large worms in the lungs. After 18 days he died of a massive Candida infection. As I say, these guys had lots of problems.

Roundworm infestation is one of the most common health problems on Earth, affecting an estimated 25 percent of the pop­ ulation worldwide with rates as high as 90 percent in some thirdworld countries. Although there are all sorts o f wormy parasites out there — remind me to tell you about guinea worms some­ time — A. lumbricoides is particularly freaky because o f the long

trek it makes through the body over the course of its two-year life. Typically you acquire an infestation by swallowing eggs in contaminated soil. (Just so you know, contaminated is a euphemism for containing egg-laden human feces. Now you know why you’re supposed to wash fruit, vegetables, etc., before eat­ ing.)

The eggs hatch in the stomach and small intestine, and the larvae migrate via the blood vessels and lym phatic system to the heart and then the lungs, where they mature into worms.

The worms climb up the windpipe to the pharynx, at which point you swallow them again. Usually they end their days in the gut, although on occasion they’ve been found in the brain, eye, bladder, spinal cord and so on. All o f this takes two to three m onths. A full-grown worm can be as m uch as 45 cen­ timeters long, and you can have more than one — sometimes an entire bellyful. A 2-year-old girl weighing eight kilograms passed 80 worms while another 578 remained inside her, weighing more than 80.0 grams — that is, 10 percent o f her body weight.

Getting back to your question, Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment (this is a fascinating book, by the way — sort of a Chilton’s guide to human body repair) warns, “Treatment with anthelmintics [antiparasitic drugs] can cause worms to migrate before they die. Because anesthesia stimulates worms to hypermotility, they should be removed in advance in infected patients undergoing elective surgery” (my italics). So if you’re worried about mass worm evacuation via the schnozz, I guess you’re not alone.

OK, we’ve got a little space left. Guinea worms. Once endem­ ic to parts o f India, the Middle East and Africa, but now found predominantly in the Sudan, the worms hatch in the stomach after the victim drinks water contaminated with a certain crus­ tacean, the intermediate host. The female worm grows to 60 to 80 centimeters, burrows its way to the surface, and erupts through the skin. “Traditional extraction o f emerging worms,” the diagnostic manual notes, is “by gradually rolling them out a few centimeters each day on a small stick.” But be careful, because breaking the worm during removal can lead to cellulitis, abscess formation and septicemia. And we sure wouldn’t want that.

Carpool Connection than a few miles. Is this true? Is it possible that the tow job ruined my transmission? — Fred

STOP THE POP RADIO Dear Tom and Ray: What would be the most likely cause o f excessive static on the A M radio band in my truck? I can hear static popping at the same frequency as the engine rpm. The static speeds up or slows down along with the engine speed. How can I get rid o f this static?

— Tim RAY: Well, we can suggest some very fine FM stations, Tim. TOM : Actually, your problem is not AM or FM, it’s RF. Your ignition system is creat­ ing radio frequency interfer­ ence (RFI), and it’s being picked up by your AM radio.

RAY: RFI usually comes from the alternator or old, leaky spark-plug wires, and an RFI filter usually solves the prob­ lem.

TOM : Just hobble on down to your local Radio Shack, or a similar establishment, and ask them for an automotive

noise filter for your AM car radio. It costs about 20 bucks and attaches to your radio’s power line.

RAY: If you can’t or don’t want to install the filter your­ self, any reputable car-stereo establishment ought to be able to put one in for you. And while you’re there, you can avail yourself o f their “noise filter and 17-inch roof-mount­ ed monster bass speakers” special. Good luck, Tim. Dear Tom and Ray: M y ’9 7 G M C 314-ton fourwheel-drive pickup recently stranded me with a faulty fuel pump. The dealer graciously towed me 25 miles and called me the next day to inform me that not only would I be paying fo r a new fuel pump, but I'd also be paying for a new trans­ mission. To say the least, I was surprised, since I have never had a problem with the transmis­ sion. A tow-truck operator sug­ gested that since the 9 7 models don’t allow you to shift the transfer case to Neutral, they shouldn’t be towed fo r more

RAY: Possible? I’d say “likely” is a better description, Fred.

TOM : I agree. It’s extremely odd that the transmission on a 3-year-old vehicle — which had no previous transmission problems — just happens to buy the farm right after a 23mile tow. So I think you’re right to be more than a little suspicious here, Fred.

RAY: But while the transfer case M IG H T have been involved (GM claims that you CAN put this transfer case in Neutral), I’d say it’s more like­ ly that the tow-truck driver accidentally towed the car with the automatic transmis­ sion in Drive (or something other than Neutral). If the transmission was in gear dur­ ing a 25-mile tow, that cer­ tainly could have overheated the transmission and cooked it.

TOM : Most likely, it was an innocent mistake. The driver might have thrown it into “N ” and then accidentally knocked it into “D ” as he was straight­ ening out the steering wheel ... or when he was scooping the change out o f your ash­

tray.

RAY: But innocent or not, you shouldn’t have to pay for it. So what should you do?

Well, both dealerships and reputable towing companies carry liability insurance to cover just this kind of screwup. And whether they set the transfer case incorrectly or set the transmission incorrectly, one of the parties is going to have to make a claim to pay for your cooked transmission, Fred.

TOM: Since the dealership engaged the towing company on your behalf, then it should act as your advocate here and see that the transmission gets fixed at no cost to you. If the dealership isn’t extremely accommodating, I’d go up the ladder to GMC Customer Service (800-GMC-TRUCK).

And if you still don’t get any satisfaction, I think you’d have a very strong circumstantial case if you have to go to court to get your transmission fixed.

A R IES , THE LAZY WARRIOR (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The Joseph Campbell Council on Contemporary Myth has approved my request to temporarily give you Aries folks a new subtitle, the “Lazy Warrior.” In bestowing this designation, I intend to exempt you from all menial tasks so that you can free up large amounts of heroic energy for use in your inner realms. The best way to respond to this blessing would be to relax for hours in a soft chair and mentally wrestle with your demons. I hope that you will thereby prevent those monsters from disguising themselves as your friends and loved ones. Here’s your battle cry: Lazy Warriors wash their own brains, not dishes and laun­ dry!

TAU R U S

(Apr. 20-May 20): As I turn my psychic vision towards your sweetest dreams, I’m aware that you have a growing need for them to materialize down here on Earth.

Here’s the hitch: You won’t be able to achieve that goal unless you work for it with impeccable integrity. That may not seem fair as you witness the apparent progress of greedy people with less talent and fewer scruples than you. You might feel hamstrung by your ethics and cursed by your sense of fair play. But let me assure you: The honorable style of success is the only kind worth having. And besides, it’s the only one that’ll work for you.

GEM INI

(May 21-June 20): Acquiring and solving problems are fundamental human needs. You define yourself — indeed, you make yourself — through the obstacles you attract and overcome. The most cre­ ative people on the planet ate those who frame the hardest questions and then gather the resources necessary to find the answers. I bring this up, Gemini, because you are now poised to embody the wisdom of this way of thinking. Cosmic forces are conspir-

------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ■----------------- ing to get you to thrive on the most intriguing challenges. Here’s a good place to start: Synthesize a bunch of your smaller problems into one big riddle whose solution would fix them all.

C AN C ER

(June 21-July 22): Someday I’ll tap directly into the raw, supercharged fuel of my anger. I’ll stop going numb with blind rage when I think about misogyny and homophobia and plutocracy and the rape of the Earth. On that day, my fury will become so beautiful and strong that I’ll sit down and write The Book o f Anger in one sustained, three-week frenzy o f creative indigna­ tion. It’ll be filled with stories that inspire everyone who reads it to express their special, sacred wrath in the most constructive way possible.

Until then, Cancerian, I hope you’ll take advantage of those rare times when getting mad naturally gives you the clarity to correct the injustice you perceive. Now is such a moment for you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Your cur­ rent arguments with God are among the best ever. If I didn’t know better, I’d say She was stumped. It seems you’ve even forced Her to go back and consult the Book of Judgment about you. Don’t get overconfident, though. Never forget that God’s a tricky coyote. She’ll probably sneak up on you any minute with a whole new slew of antics and gambits. And I’m sure you know as well as I that She has the weirdest sense of humor in the universe. I still think you have a chance to win the most important argument, though — especially if you laugh uproariously at Her jokes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I confess that I have sometimes offered my gifts selfishly, hoping to be recog­ nized and rewarded for my generosity.

I confess that on occasion I have will­ ingly sacrificed my needs for the sake of my partners’ needs, but then later held it against them. I confess that I’ve sought supernatural communion with love when just plain natural communion would have been far bet­ ter. Finally, I confess I’ll be really mad at you, Virgo, if you commit any of these sins yourself during the next seven weeks. Your romantic destiny for the next year is now being decid­ ed. Give because it feels good and makes you happy, or don’t give at all.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hi, I’m your sales representative for Un Therapy, a gently chaotic program for people who are trying too damn hard. Excuse me for being so blunt, but you look like you could really use our product. That beaten-down expression on your face would make you a great poster boy or girl for the dangers of excessive earnestness. O f course I don’t want to give away all the secrets of UnTherapy, but here’s a hint: Sometimes the only way to out­ wit an intractable dilemma is to stop worrying and run off and play while the problem solves itself.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Primal forces of nature will soon sweep through your personal ecosys­ tem. W hether they’re stormy or sexy will depend on how well you’ve been treating yourself. If you’ve been eating junk food, starving yourself of sleep and playing chicken with stress, you can expect the metaphorical equiva­ lent of windstorms and floods and brush fires. If you’ve been nurturing your body as if it were a beloved pet,

your experience will be more like aurora borealis, a river’s melting ice and the rapid flow of spring sap in

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s doubtful that any of the anxiety addicts around you will offer much support if you obey the sensible urge to go into hibernation.

Except me, of course. As a student of cycles, I understand that even big­ thinking, far-seeing Sagittarians need periods of lying low, moving slow and staring at the glow from their navels.

Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the best way — in fact the only way — to recharge your psychic bat­ teries. Your subliminal word of power for the week is incubation.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The gods and goddesses of ancient Greece were an unruly lot.

For every blessing they bestowed on humanity, they unleashed a con­ founding trick. Their noble adven­ tures were balanced by their petty emotions and ridiculous squabbles. A notable exception was Themis. She was unfailingly helpful and wise, the faithful goddess of justice and protec­ tion and good counsel. Mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade regards her as still active in the mod­ ern world. He believes that people tend to be in endless conflict unless Themis is present. She is the reason­ able and imaginative unity-builder who pulls together the things that don’t usually connect. I nominate her to be your guiding spirit for the next three weeks, Capricorn. Call on her to help conjure up the combinations and consensus that will need an extra boost.

QUARIUS

(Jan. 20Feb. 18): This week a troubled teen in paramilitary garb may offer you $10,000 to join a team of mercenaries and kidnap a Colombian drug lord. Don’t do it, Aquarius! Say no, as well, to any other invitation that is both lucrative and risky, or appetizing and stupid, or dramatic and impossible to research. If you manage to resist the reckless proposals, I predict you will set the stage for a host of subtler, smarter enticements to come your way. Now study (and refute) this quote from Marcel Proust: “Impelled by a state of mind which is destined not to last, we make our irrevocable decisions.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): W ith the authority invested in me by your guardian angel, I am pleased to announce that you are entitled to spe­ cial privileges this week, as well as a straight answer to your most nagging question. W ith the no-nonsense, stayout-of-my-way-or-I’ll-bite-you atti­ tude I learned from the pit bull next door, I hereby call on you to stop let­ ting things slide with the people who are violating your autonomy. And finally, with the psychic foresight developed over 20 years of reading auras, I predict that you will soon receive an invitation to begin build­ ing a skill you have always been des­ tined to master. ®

Dear Lola, "Elmer,” the man I’ve ju st started dating, has beautifjul, soft skin, especially on his hands. I love the supple, glovelike feeling of his fin­ gers. But when ! men­ tioned this to Elmer’s old boyfriend, "Bugs, ” he told me that Elmer coats his hands with cream every night and wears gloves to bed. Ick! Now I get creeped cut each time Elmer touches me, and I’m dreading the quickly approaching moment when we’re bound to tumble into bed, and Elmer pulls out the gloves. Should I con­ front Elmer with what I know, or break off the relationship before it’s too late?

Shuddering in Shelburne Dear Shuddering, Before you do any­ thing you ’ll later regret, consider the source of your so-called informa­ tion. Did I hear you iden­ tify Bugs as Elmer’s eld boyfriend? If sc, don’t you think Bugs might have some motive for coming between you and Elmer. Isn’t it possible that this glove story is actually a figment of B u s s ’ imagination? And that simply asking Elmer, in a non con­ frontational way, hew he keeps his skin sc sc ft. might smooth ever the entire matter?

Love, ^ M
