MESSAGE O F P R O T E S T O R S I am writing in response to two letters to the editor condemning the "sad and violent" actions of anti-war protestors [in Burlington]. While I can see the point of view that a fully peaceful, non-aggravating protest seems like the right way to get the message of peace across, the protestors, I believe, were also showing that if the powers that be aren't going to be peaceful themselves, then perhaps they should expect some civil unrest. The protest came about not only to voice a concern about the potentiality of war, but also to demand the lifting of U.S. sanctions that keep medicine and food from thousands of civilians. . .women and children [in Iraq]. From any humane viewpoint one might see those sanctions as a vivid act of needless violence. While I know that two wrongs don't make a right, I also am aware that one wrong and one right do not add up to a final right. In the big equation of life, only two rights add up to a final sense of rightness. Has this nation ever been fully at peace with its global neighbors? Is it fair to demand of a few "bullhorned leaders" what we do not demand of our elected officials? In my eyes the issue is not as black and white as it may seem.
s
— Michael J . Nedell Burlington LET M E R E S P O N D T O T H A T . . . I am sure that reading a letter responding to a letter (Morocroft, March 11) about a previous letter (Shapl in, March 4) commenting on a column (Inside Track, February 25) is just about as far as any sensible person would want to go. Nevertheless, I would like to apologize to Peter Freyne for saying he said something about soft money when I know he didn't, and thanks for that tidbit about Brian Joyce's sex life.
exposure
TYPICAL MALE? I deny being a regular reader of the Personals, but as a single 50-something '90s woman, I'll glance down the column now and then to see if by some miracle there's a 50-something '90s guy out there who isn't just looking for a slim, tall, fit, petite woman between the ages of 22 and 24 1/2. In one of those idle moments the other day, my eyes froze on two astonishing ads: I'm not your typical male, they both began. Then, I just want a woman who doesn't have PMS three out of every four weeks, went the first. And the second, I'm into pleasure and lust, love may come later. Now, to women, those ads epitomize the insensitive, self-absorbed, sex-preoccupied, unwilling to commit — in short, typical male. So, I am genuinely curious: What, to men, does the notion of typical imply? Please enlighten me. I may be over 24 1/2, but I'm not too old to learn new definitions. — Marion Brookside Burlington

DEAN UNDER FIRE
T h e Fifth Floor is in crisis mode this week. Governor Howard Dean is huddling with his staff in the wake of a shocking, soon-to-be-published report in the Village Voice that as a 14year-old high school student he was caught shoplifting women's foundation garments from Bloomingdales on 59th Street in Manhattan. According to the Voice report, which will hit the streets Friday, "Howie," as he was then known, had stuffed the articles of men's clothing into a backpack, which he had shoplifted earlier from Macy's. Dean was caught by a store security guard, the Voice reports, | who became suspicious when | the youngster was seen entering i a ladies' changing room carrying * 1 | | ^ 8 1 | | i
« | | |
three underwire brassieres, two silk teddies and a bustier. He was stopped by security "coming out" of the changing room area. T h e security officer removed the pilfered items from Howie's backpack — all, that is, except a $29.99 fire engine red silk teddy he was wearing under his green Yale sweatshirt. (At the time he was home for the holidays from St. George's Prep School in Newport, Rhode Island, where a cross-dressing craze was in full
bloom, sweeping through the best private ® boarding schools in the East.) 1 When caught, Dean reportedly told the | security officer that he would have purchased | the clothing items, but, as is the case with buying rubbers, he was simply too shy to approach ® a cashier. Fearing arrest, Dean promised the 1 security officer that if he was let go he would | devote the rest of his life to working as a mis| sionary doctor in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the Voice article, N.Y.P.D. was » called and Dean was taken to the 14th precinct, 1 where Detective Sergeant Patrick Aloysius | O ' H a r a forced him to watch John Wayne's The | Green Berets before releasing him into the custody of his parents. In return for a $10,000 * contribution his father made to the Patrolman's S Benevolent Association, the Voice reports, | Dean's criminal record was expunged. His j mother told the paper that at the time she didn't think it was that big a deal, since he regular» ly stole items of clothing from her walk-in clos1 et. " O u r psychiatrist said it was normal grow| ing-up behavior," she told the Voice. "Boys will | be boys." W h e n asked for a response to the Village Voice article this week, Dean's brand new press secretary, Sue Allen, told Inside Track that she could "neither confirm nor deny" the Voice report. Off-the-record she told Inside Track that the Bloomingdales incident might help explain i why the Governor had repeatedly asked her for | her specific clothing sizes during recruitment | interviews. • i | I
I
"I thought it was a little strange," said Ms. Allen, adding, "but that's to be expected from a i politician as brilliant and successful and hand1 some as Howard B. Dean. True geniuses," said | Allen, "often have little quirks." | For example, she pointed out that her former boss, Burlington Free Press Editorial Page i Editor Stephen Kiernan, regularly wore panty| hose under his worsted trousers on Tuesdays | and Fridays. She said Mr. Kiernan once told her | that the pantyhose regimen — something he picked up while auditing a women's studies § course at Middlebury — helped him experience | the plight of the Free Press female readers, as | well as improve his chances for a Best of I Gannett award. Meanwhile, Rep. Steve Howard of Rutland
Town, who came out of the closet just last year, told Inside Track he always knew H o - H o was "not a complete 100 percent heterosexual." L'il Stevie Blunder said that on several occasions over the years he had caught the governor "gazing" at him intently. "The press interpreted that look as anger and contempt, but I knew it was something completely different." Besides, said L'il Stevie, " H o - H o is a Scorpio, and we all know what that means," he added with a wink. Making the most of an opportunity to talk to a reporter other than Jack H o f f m a n , L'il Stevie Blunder said that Deb Markowitz, his opponent in the upcoming Democratic primary for secretary of state, is a member of a secret Central Vermont animal cruelty cult. "You don't know where you heard this," said Howard, "but this bit in the papers lately about all the disappearing cats has nothing to 1 do with attacks by 'wild' animals. Check it out!" Meanwhile, Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bernie Rome denied that he was the "B.R." cited by the Voice as the g source for the shoplifting/cross- g dressing story, and identified in ^ print as "a former New Yorker I now living in Sherburne, Vermont." H m m m . "As a true 100 percent native » Vermonter," said Bernie II, "I am never surprised by the bad conduct of out-of-staters born I and raised with inherited wealth and private| school upbringing. As for me, a humble gradu- | ate of Vermont public schools, tipping off the Village Voice? I mean, you got a hell of a lot of ® nerve, you press people." | Lieutenant Governor Doug Racine declined J to comment on-the-record on the Village Voice § report. However, off-the-record, the Lite-Gov ® said that he's known since Ho-Ho's days as a § legislator in the 1980s that Dean was "morally J depraved" and given to excesses — particularly g mind-altering drugs. Racine said, with the understanding his comments would be "way, way off-the-record," that it was common knowledge back in the 1986 session, when Dean was the House Democratic whip, that he § regularly traded drug prescriptions for votes i crucial to then-House Speaker Ralph Wright. Racine says Dean was "deathly afraid of Ralph and still is...Why the hell do you think the little New Yorker was so popular?" asked Racine. 1 "It sure as heck wasn't his good looks." Racine also said that W G O P . . .sorry, W C A X - T V . . . k n e w about Dean's drug-dealing at the Statehouse but never ran a story. "I 1 became quite suspicious," said Racine, "when I learned that both T i m Lewis and Marselis Parsons were patients of a certain Howard Dean, M . D . " Racine said the Bloomingdales shoplifting/cross-dressing story "probably won't hurt" Deans re-election bid. "In fact," said Racine, "it'll probably win him more votes from 1 the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. C'mon, help me out here. I want to get a story | like that out on me," he pleaded. House Republican leader Walter Freed agreed, noting that, "in the age of Bill Clinton, I sins are considered political pluses to be flaunted." T h e member from Dorset asked Inside Track if we'd ever heard "about the time last month when John Labarge, Connie Houston, Judy Livingston and I had a crack cocaine naked hot tub surprise birthday party over at Gary Richardson's house?" Nice try, Walt, but everybody knows Gary Richardson sold that hot tub to Bill Doyle a ^ year ago. Happy April Fool's Day! Reality will return § next week. ® mm mm mm mm mm. mm. mm mm mm mm mm wm. mm. wm.

Watch Out For— the seventh book in a series by Vermont cartoonist Alison Bechdel? M o lovable lesbians torn between personal and political entanglements? M o delightfully self-deprecating humor about an otherwise sacred subject? M o soap operastyle stories of women worried about everything from interracial motherhood to cellulite? Her latest, not surprisingly, is mo than a collection of clever comix. The Indelible Alison Bechdel is an illustrated autobiography, a reluctant retrospective of an artist who writes at least as well as she draws. Stories of her early development as an artist develop into illustrated tomboy tales, coming-out cartoons and detailed descriptions of character building. No one draws dildos quite like Bechdel.

hat if they built a train station and the train never came? That is conceivable in the case of Melinda Moulton and her partners in the Main Street Landing project, who are constructing a glassy new facility on the track side of the old Union Station in Burlington. The redeveloped 10,000-square-foot train station, due to be corn-

she notes, "I have to pay back every penny" of the $1.5 million it is costing to build the station. T h e state holds a 20-year lease on the space, part of which is to be sub-leased to a coffee bar and, health club. The — 8000-square-foot roof top of the train station will serve as a public promenade and performance space. Even without regular train service, the old Union
senger costs to be astronomical, says State Representative George Schiavone. "It's pork, pure and simple," declares the Shelburne Republican. "Only one person keeps the commuter rail project going — the governor. Without him, it would crumble." During the two years that Shelburne Road is being widened, about 870 people are projected to ride the train each weekday in at least one direction, according to an April
lution as all the cars it is intended to take off the road. He arrives at this conclusion using the state's estimate of a 1.6 percent reduction by the year 2015 in traffic volume on Shelburne Road as a result of the commuter rail alternative. The pollution comparison is also derived, Schiavone says, from information provided by the manufacturer of the diesel engines that will power the train carriages. Critics like Schiavone are fatalists suffering from tunnel vision, say the train's advocates. Commuter rail service
Will the whistle ever blow for Burlington's train station? pleted this fall, is being built with $1.5 million in federal and state rail transportation funds. Its intended to service the controversial BurlingtonCharlotte commuter line now scheduled to begin operating in the spring of 1999. Some critics of the cornmuter rail project predict this train won't ever get on track. They note that its startup date has been repeatedly pushed back, and will likely be postponed again as the latest deadline approaches. Even if the commuter train does begin running, others say, it almost certainly won't survive once a three-year public operating subsidy expires. Opponents have failed in attempts to kill the project in the State Legislature, but they haven't stopped trying to derail what they deride as Gov. Howard Dean's pet boondoggle. Moulton, for her part, is confident that commuter trains will eventually pull in and out of the new station as planned. The alternative is decidedly )leak. If the trains don't run,

Station has proven a popular locale for artist studios and small businesses. The building is fully rented by about 25 different tenants. Moulton says she's excited and optimistic about the train station, regardless of detractors and recent bad press on national television. "This is economic development in its finest sense because it's also environmentalism," she declares. Keeping her sights on the bigger picture, she insists, "We are not basing the success of the waterfront on the commuter rail project." Rail transport seems great in theory, but critics insist it won't work in reality — not around here, anyway. The fundamental problem, skeptics say, is that not nearly enough commuters will choose the rail option. The Burlington area simply lacks the critical mass of population needed for daily train service to make economic sense, according to this perspective.
1997 estimate. Once the road rebuilding is completed, the number of rail passengers is expected to drop to around 510. But by the year 2015, commuter rail ridership will have climbed to an envisioned level of 1050 per weekday. "After the Shelburne Road improvements are in place, it'll be easier to drive, and train use will decline," explains Sue Compton, the state's commuter rail project manager. "But eventually congestion will return to the road, due to population increases. And there doesn't appear to be an option for again widening Shelburne Road." Based partly on those projections, Schiavone calculates that each ride on the Burlington-Charlotte commuter line will cost the state and federal government more than $30. Taxpayers shouldn't be shouldered with per-rider costs of that magnitude, Schiavone says.
Ridership projections offered by the Agency of Transportation show per-pas-

"could be well-supported" in the Burlington area "if it's marketed properly," argues Steve Mumley, customer service director for Green Mountain Railroad. He notes that his company has been successfully running a Bellows Falls-Chester summer excursion train for the

past 20 years. "People say ~ Bellows Falls isn't exactly a booming tourist town, but we've managed to draw customers," Mumley notes. "It all depends on how you present your product." Green Mountain Railroad will be trying out those techniques in Burlington this summer. The Bellows Falls firm, a subsidiary of Vermont Railway, has purchased the tourist train service previously known as the Sugarbush Express, which went out of business last year. The new owner will operate a Burlington-Middlebury excursion train, renamed the Champlain Valley Weekender, twice a day in each direction on Saturday and Sunday. Mumley says the reduction from daily service is due in part to the track work that will be underway this summer on the 12-mile Burlington-Charlotte stretch in preparation for the commuter train. A more important factor, according to other analysts, is that the excursion trains expenses would almost certainly exceed revenues if it operated all week long, just as the commuter train is supposed to do. The daily Sugarbush Express may have been a public relations success, but it was an economic failure. Rail transport, its proponents counter, can't fairly be expected to pay its own way at this point in American history. It will take time, they say, for the actual — and much greater — cost of mass reliance on the automobile to become apparent. Car use in the United States is also heavily subsidized by taxpayers, but that payout is better disguised and thus not seen as controversial. T h e days of road-building are, in any event, now nearing an end, says Moulton, developer of Main Street Landing. Congestion is going to worsen steadily as a result, she says, driving more and more people out of their cars and onto trains. The Burlington-Charlotte commuter link should be seen as "the first phase of a bigger vision." With that service in place, Moulton predicts, it will become possible to run commuter trains to Essex Junction and perhaps eventually to St. Albans and Montpelier. Modernizing the 12 miles of rail between Charlotte and Burlington is also an essential step toward extending Amtrak's current Rutland-New York City service. Within five years, Moulton suggests, Burlington could become the northern terminus of the Amtrak line through western Vermont. The commuter rail project must be further viewed as a boost for the Burlington waterContinued

the man loved this band so much that he had to have them — and if they couldn't afford airfare he would provide that too. So that's how the Highland Weavers played a gig in Las Cruces, had a day in the desert, ate good Mexican food, and were back before we even missed them. Ole.

It's good news for Gordon Stone, too: He's been hired to write the score. It's supposed to have a dark feel, he says — a challenge for the banjo. Meanwhile, Gordon Stone Trio is mixing their upcoming CD, Even With the Odds. Odds are good this band's star is rising.
BABY GOES BYE-BYE? A few weeks back I reported the "screaming baby incident" at the Flynn, in the middle of an ultra-quiet set by classical guitarist Sharon Isbin. I asked for feedback and got it.

Three years of playing original material m the local music scene has clcariy seasoned the talent of Sargent, guitarist Ryan Ober, bassist Tom James and drummer Phil Brown. And enhanced by the impeccable production values at Charles Eller Studio, there's pretty much nothing to find fault with. The Jets sound is not served by their usual tag of alt-rock; it's too much a soaring, melodic, complex — and often beautiful — thing, and suffers not from the

wear a tie to work. Every day. And I don't even have to. What's so unusual about that, you might ask? Nothing, except that no one is more surprised about this than I. You see, the mere idea of this traditional symbol of male business attire was anathema to all my past personae. T h e conscientious objector, the hippie homesteader, the custom furniture maker, the ski bum — they all eschewed what I perceived as capitulation to the repressive confines of shirt and tie. I'll admit male fashion is a mystery to me. I understand that folks who live in big cities belong to different tribes, with bizarre customs of dress. But when I see ads for expensive brands like Armani, I'm left with the impression that the men in the pictures are not enjoying life. Their stern poses,

distant gazes and "just-so" hair do not represent guys like me. O n the other hand, I have evolved beyond my girlfriend's father, whose idea of "haberdashery" derives from the local Ames. I've spent most of my life like the state of my bed — done up pretty well when company is • expected, but loosely thrown together otherwise. And I have been known to boast that I could go three weeks without doing laundry. My cardinal rules have been: 1) Socks should match — at least in color, which is easy if you only bought navy and black; 2) W h e n possible one color in the shirt should correspond to the color of your pants; 3) Buy one pair of nice shoes and wear them until they fall apart; and 4) Since a GoreTex shell makes an outdoors fashion statement and is eminently practical, it therefore qualifies as all-occasion outerwear.

Escher, Guggenheim Museum), and the signature tie of friendly dolphins jumping through colored hoops (they call him Flipper...). I've seen much wilder ties, of course, but a dose of maturity — and the sensible second opinion of the woman who has to look at me
But these rules came under scrutiny when I got out of graduate school and landed a job in the professional world. I had to decide on a suitable wardrobe — which basically ruled out my previous "dress" uniform of upscale jeans and Patagonia flannel shirt. T h e options seemed limited. I can't wear sweaters indoors because my internal thermostat is stuck on warm. Vests seem codgerly to me, and besides would add to my thermal overload. I could buy patterned or textured shirts, but I didn't find many that razzed my berries. I had a few ties already, but they mostly fell into the category of comedy: Hawaiian prints, left over from my days manag-
Here's a fashion statement: A noose can be nice ever, I had to get serious. I did own a couple of expensive Italian silk floral-print ties, which looked elegant, yet liberal. Rich, yet unassuming.

Pepper's and Grateful Dead), vegetables (garden vari-

every morning — has helped create some balance. I'm now known for my colorful ties, and I'm constantly on the lookout for lonely, unusual or semi-ugly ones — especially if they're in the halfprice bin. And I've adopted a new motto that reflects my fashion philosophy: Speak softly and wear a loud tie. ®

Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 movie version of Streetcar made the T-shirt happen. In earlier movies when we'd caught glimpses of men — sometimes gorgeous ones — in a state of undress (like Gable in It Happened One Night) it was merely embarrassing. Marlon was a babe, for sure, but by the '50s we were ready for him. Not being a psychologist, I can only hazard a guess that the shifting of underwear to outerwear is part of the trend in post-Freudian culture to peel everything down to essentials.

K, so the exciting, awardwinning hemp-silk undies aren't edible. Still, they're an example of how far the hemp industry has come over the last 10 years in producing a variety of innovative products and fabric blends. Even international designers like Armani are marketing a men's line of hemp suits and vests in Europe; Adidas recently blew out its first run of hemp sneakers. Although it's illegal to grow today, fiber hemp was a thriving industry in the United States up until the end of World War II. The national census of 1852 listed some 9000 hemp farms. Today, 27 countries grow and export fiber hemp. Even Thomas Jefferson,
temalfor Greenfields
who wrote the first drafts of the Declaration of Indepen-dence on hemp paper, recognized the plants many industrial virtues. He apparently knew more about botany than recent Presidents, who refuse to make any legal distinction between fiber hemp — which grows in 10-foot stalks and has no psychoactive component — and the hemp bush familiar to marijuana smokers. That's the kind of talk you're likely to hear at Greenfields. If there's still a family business anywhere in America that's safe from WalMart, the brothers Netaka, Christopher and David White are confident they're onto it with their hemp outfitting shop, Greenfields Mercantile. The comfortable, old-fashioned-looking store opened on Middlebury's Main Street exactly one year ago as the retail arm of Artisan Weavers, their 10-year-old manufacturer and wholesaler of hemp travel gear, clothing and accessories. Artisan Weavers started out as a craft business in Oregon, where Netaka White and his wife Claire Artis made hemp canvas bags. After moving to Vermont, the couple diversified the Artisan line with imported hemp products from Eastern
Europe and China. The two other brothers converged on Middlebury — where David had gone to college — and the business has built up more than 500 accounts across the U.S., with a dozen more in Canada and Japan. "In terms of sales and visibility, we're one of the top-10 hemp companies in the country, out of the 300 or so companies that are working with hemp fabrics," says Netaka. "Over the last five or 10 years, demand has been sparking innovation, and we're now seeing hemp fiber blended with other fibers and new processing techniques." He adds that hemp — far from the prototypical coarse, linen-like version, now comes in "everything from 100 percent canvas and jean weights to soft shirt fabrics and hemp-silk blends." Hemp products from Artisan Weavers are are now supplied to the Vermont Trading Company in Burlington and a half-dozen other customers in Vermont. The White brothers opened Greenfields Mercantile to give Artisan's product line more visibility, and to provide an educational, hands-on experience for customers. T h e shop offers everything from travel gear, hats, jeans, shirts, slacks, beads Continued

"We try to cover the range and put ourselves in the middle, so we're not just a men's shop or a women's shop," says Netaka. Many of the jeans and shirts work for both genders, and the hemp linen, Netaka explains, is more wrinkle-resistant than both flax linen and cotton. The brothers' entrepreneurial mission has placed them at the center of current legislative initiatives to reintroduce industrial hemp farming. With major corporate players like International Paper, the Bank of Montreal and International Harvester all investing heavily in research and development, the Whites express confidence that those legislative changes are coming. A bill to license and regulate Vermont farmers who want to grow industrial hemp has come before the Senate Agriculture Committee, which has been receiving testimony since the beginning of the year. "We're looking at the last three weeks of the legislative season and we're hoping we'll get some results," says Netaka.

position of law enforcement on the issue. ' r v : "The fact is that 78 percent of Vermonters, based on a UVM poll done in 1996, support industrial hemp farming in this state," Netaka declares. The White brothers are happy to give you the goods on hemp: It has a higher yield per acre than cotton. And unlike cotton, which grows only in the South, fiber hemp grows in every region of the United States. Cotton production is relatively simple, since only the flowertop is used and it's ready for spinning after cleaning, but the processing of cotton involves high levels of dioxinrich chemicals. The extra costs associated with hemp production stem from the extra processing step that involves breaking stalks and separating the fiber. "Governor Dean hasn't done his homework, or if he has, he refuses to admit it or to make the distinction between marijuana and industrial hemp," says Netaka. "It's like comparing feed corn to sweet corn, or opium poppies to muffin poppies. This is a perfect industry for Vermont farmers." Even though the labels don't recommend inhaling, hemp clothes can still make an eloquent fashion statement. ®

"This bill should come out or die in committee shortly." When he testified in Montpelier, he brought a Georgian carpet-maker along who works with millions of pounds of imported hemp every year, Netaka says. The senators were impressed. "There's definitely support, but Governor Dean is still saying that he'll veto the hemp legislation. His lack of enthusiasm is what's holding the industry back here." Netaka laments that Dean listens only to the

Life is a series of interruptions, Susan Marshall learned recently when she became a parent for the first time. The acclaimed American choreographer and her athletic eightmember company draw on this concept in a powerful, dramatic new evening-length dance/theatre work that combines simple everyday movements with formal dance techniques. Says the Montreal Gazette. "Quite simply, fantastic."

One reason for the repeated delays in inaugurating commuter service is that only Burlington's train station will soon be ready to receive passengers. The Shelburne stop, near the center of the village, could be put i n t c ^ j ^ p e fairly quickly, but the Charlotte station, planned for Ferry Road, still involves unresolved issues. The location of the South Burlington station is ' n o t determined," according to Compton, the commuter projects overseer.

The entire undertaking has been "very poorly managed," in Schiavone's opinion. He half-jokingly urges the state Transportation Agency to follow the lead of Sen. George Aiken, who suggested during
651-0869
The Shelburne lawmaker denies that his opposition to this project is driven mainly by constituents' complaints about the noise and other disruptions they fear the train will cause. He acknowledges that consid- , erable amounts of money have been spent to rebuild track crossings and to create "quiet j zones." The biggest gripe he gets from voters, Schiavone says, is "that the whole thing doesfi't make any sense." Few of his constituents regard the train as a desirable alternative to their cars, Schiavone reports. It will take a lot more traffic — and regular urban-sized tie ups — to get them all aboard. Melinda Moulton, for one, is banking on it. ®

Triathlon, race director Rob Centers seen it all: pulled muscles, leaky boats, flat tires and broken skis. But nothing beats the time the river froze the night before the race. "We had the paddlers run with their PFDs (personal flotation devices) down Route 100," recalls Center of that mid-'80s race. "It was like ducks out of water, but the spirit of the race went on." The "spirit of the race" is a legacy born during his days as the owner of the now-defunct Tucker Hill Ski Center. At the time, Center and a few dozen friends created the event to see winter out with a "big bang instead of a fizzle." Today, with nearly 600 racers scheduled to compete, the Triathlon has v become a resounding success. But the real spirit of this annual rite of spring may be best defined by the fact that it's a four-headed Hydra with a threelegged name. And unlike the euphemisms and hyperbole that occasionally creep into ski reports from the Mad River Valley, there's actually a logical explanation for the understatement. It's called spring. Back in 1982, a lean snow year forced the substitution of one section of the ski course with a running leg. Subsequent years brought both the need and the desire for the inclusion of the running, "so we figured, 'What the heck, we'll be America's only four-event triathlon,'" explains Center. Billed as "a recreational spring race for sport's true dilettanti," the Triathlon includes sections of whitewater boating, bicycling, cross-country skiing and running. Raced by teams in a relay format or by solo "iron-persons," those tackling the full course are in for a lot more than a minor dalliance. The "try athletes," as one local wag calls them, first run five miles from Warren to Waitsfield, then jump in a canoe or kayak to paddle six miles while their legs cramp with pooled blood from the run. Next it's an eight-mile uphill bike ride that slowly gets steeper en route to Vermont's version of
Heartbreak Hill at the entrance to Sugarbush North. That's where competitors are faced with three miles of up-and-down cross-country skiing on trails intended for alpiners. If it sounds like an event you might want to miss, don't talk to Leonard
Robinson. The 69-year-old Warren resident has been at the starting line every year since he was an Ironman competitor in the 1979 inaugural race. "I wouldn't miss it for anything," he says, adding that this year he'll be in the relay category teamed with his daugh-
ter-in-law and grandchildren. Besides being a great race to run, Robinson says, the Triathlon is a spectacle to watch. "There are sharp turns just above the bridge on East Warren Road," he offers, "so if you stand there you get to watch the crashes and spills into the Mad River, which is pretty cold this time of Âť
TRI, TRI AGAIN
At the Sugarbush Triathlon, one plus three is still three
year. Much like the vagaries of the weather and the course, the mix of summer and winter sports provides a large part of the charm and challenge of the event, participants say. Nordic skiing is on the wane, running and biking on the wax, with canoeing and kayaking still trying to find its rightful place on Vermont waterways. Although the whitewater is currently flowing, there have been years where the Triathlon is the first chance anybody has had to paddle, says Jim Fredericks, the perennial winner in the overall individual category. "I usually train in the lake," he discloses, "if I can find a place to enter without crossing ice." This year, however, the 47-year-old director of nordic racing for Rossignol had an insurance policy up his wetsuit sleeve: He's in whitewater heaven in Bend, Oregon, working the national cross-country ski championships. "I have a kayak and a bike waiting in Bend," confesses Fredericks. A group of world-class Continued on next page

A Stern Apology An open apology from the owners, management and staff of 106.7 WIZN, The Wizard. The Howard Stern Show on WIZN began broadcasting on Monday, March 30th, 1998. We realize that this change in programming may offend certain individuals and groups in the community. For this reason we offer the following apologies:
WIZN apologizes to any ethnic, cultural, religious or community group that finds The Howard Stern Show's humor distasteful. WIZN offers that every FM radio ever built has a "tuning" feature. If you find The Howard Stern Show truly offensive, WIZN strongly suggests use of this "tuning" apparatus to find other programming suitable to your narrow-mindedness.
WIZN also apologizes to the other morning shows in the area, including shows that do not originate in Burlington or Plattsburgh, but are syndicated on local stations. The Howard Stern Show has a proven record of market domination over any and all competitors. W I Z N expects nothing less in The Champlain Valley.
Lastly, we apologize to any business that advertises on any morning shows except The Howard Stern Show. If you are an advertiser in any of these shows, we strongly suggest that you reevaluate your marketing plans and contact the WIZN sales department at (802)860-2440 to find out how your business may benefit from the awesome power of The Howard Stern Show.

Below are credits from a recent film which featured several well-known performers, had its share of ads on TV and in newspapers, and got lots of publicity. What it didn't have was much success at the box office. In fact, it came and went so fast, we challenge you to even remember its name.

PICTURE IMPERFECT
ne hundred years before Jack Webb said "just the facts ma'am," on the TV cop show "Dragnet," another resolute champion of justice — Emile Zola — said, "I only want to analyze the facts, and works of art are simple facts." The simple facts on display in "Textures," a threeman show currently at Montpeliers Wood Gallery, are a little fuzzy. Exhibiting artists Edwin Owre, Apo Torosyan, and B. Amore are successful practitioners in galleries and academia, but there's a formulaic quality in these bodies of work that, like Torosyans "Bread" series, gets a bit stale. If their artist's statements had included things like, "power tools are more fun than pencils," or "people are buying this stuff like "hotcakes," or "my main influence is ARTnews," then perhaps the overwhelming redundance of these images would be understandable. Instead, these three artists offer alibis indicating that their works are respectively based on a highly debatable assumption and a keen grasp of the obvious. The "drawing constructions" of University of Vermont professor Edwin Owre are by far the most accomplished works in the exhibit. He lavishly fills three-dimensional space with Plexiglass and hardware, two-dimensional space with collage and drawing elements. These intriguing and facile works are built from whole pads of drawing paper, in which Owre has reshuffled the parameters of the picture plane. He attaches, cuts, removes and rearranges materials into baroque yet sophisticated interpretations of the human environment. Owre has stated that "my goal -is ambitious: to raise the genre of drawing to the level of painting and sculpture. This requires no less than the transformation of drawing..." Nevertheless, his "mechanized drawings" have little in common with the unique immediacy of drawing as a medium. And since when did drawing become a second-class act, anyway? Drawing has always been the simplest way to preserve a personal vision. Maybe painting and sculpture ought to humble themselves and return to the frankness of conte, graphite or charcoal in order to strive for higher plateaux in the visual arts.
Apo Torosyans works have been widely exhibited, and are the toast of many commercial galleries. The Boston artist has stated that "bread has endless symbolism," and that by restricting himself to a single form, "technique becomes a

Torosyan has found a way to communicate his singular idea, and simply follows the recipe ad nauseum. To date, there are over 150 pieces in his "Bread series." Only a very well-fed artist would consider wasting this much dough. Central Vermont-based artist B. Amore combines fabric, photo collage and scrawled handwriting in the hope that her physical layering of materials will be sufficient to create layers of emotional meaning. Perhaps the most dramatic example of this is "Mirror Mundi," a 36" x 8' x 11' installation piece. Its central image is a three-feet-indiameter ball with photo collages of faces and handwritten text affixed to it and wrapped in a red, perforated textile. This sits on a sheet of mirrored fabric, surrounded by odd bundles also wrapped in red. Amore has written that her pieces relate to her immigrant ancestors in some way, and that "image an/^script intertwine to create interstices between memory and reality, image and imagination." So perhaps it just looks like a silly, large red ball and a collection of funky fabrics? "Interstices," by the way, are basically the spaces between things. By themselves they are harmless. However, attempts "to create interstices between memory and reality..." could encourage irrational mischief, and should not be tolerated. Fortunately, visual artists do have the right to remain silent. (7)

SCRAP HEAP
Where do all those wacky mixed-media artists get their art supplies? Until recently, it was a catch-as-catchcan affair. But a new Valhalla for dumpster divers has opened in Montpelier, offering one-stop scrounging in a warm and well-lit environment. The ReStore is a nonprofit "scrap-based arts & crafts gallery" on Barre Street that will surely change the way Vermonters compose and consume art. Thanks to surpluses and discards from many area businesses, this retail outlet is probably the best Boutilier's of junk anywhere in the Green Mountains. And everything is dirt cheap. Miles of non-archival drawing paper, gold and silver Mylar, a pile of burlap bags (just like Gauguin painted on!), wallpaper books, weird bits of wood, plastic, stone, brass and die-cut shapes. Duchamp would swoon. Man Ray would be buying blank videotapes for 79 cents, and using old Bank of Vermont envelopes to find backers for his projects. ReStore is also developing a small gallery space for scrap-based artists, to exhibit the unlimited potential of recycling. It's a great place to restore your faith in creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marc

nce in a very great while a restaurant comes along that gets everything right. It's the kind of place where you could happily eat three times a day without being bored; the kind of place that presents the delicious dilemma of ordering a dish you know you love, or trying something new. But then, you're pretty sure you'll love it, too. Look in the kitchen of this kind of restaurant, and I guarantee you'll find someone who really loves food, and who understands the emotional component of feeding people and being fed. At Zabby's Stone Soup, on College Street in Burlington, there's a small army of food lovers in the kitchen, led by chef-owners Avery Rifkin (formerly of the Olive Branch Bakery), and Tim Elliott (formerly of Origanum). Open since mid-July at the site of the former City Market, Stone Soup is the kind of restaurant that gets everything right: the food, the decor, the lighting, the music — even the coffee, which is brewed strong by Brown & Jenkins. This is not high-end dining, mind you; Stone Soup is more deli than dining room. But its menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and baked goods — compiled with a heavy vegetarian bias, though some meat dishes are offered — is perfectly thought out and executed.

watching it be rebuilt according to their careful plans. The brick walls, the wood floors, the green, pressed-tin ceiling and the hanging plants all give the restaurant a look I think of as "haute hippy" — a whisper of the '60s mixed with urban panache. The kitchen is large and warmly lit. The sound system plays a deliberate mix, starting in the morning with
only one. I've been eating at Stone Soup at least three times a week for a month now, and nothing about the place has made me think I should go elsewhere. I'm not much of a sandwich person, but their roasted-vegetable sandwiches have won me over: red pepper and goat cheese, for example, or asparagus, carrots and zuc-
soft jazz, classical and world music and segueing through the day into acid jazz and funk — "something with a beat," says Rifkin. He and Elliott note that as many people ask them about the music as the food. The first time I walked into Stone Soup, I was struck by the sheer beauty and bounty of the food. Every morning, the counter is laid with the day's offerings: warm, grainy muffins, fruited scones and toasty breads for breakfast; for lunch, a profusion of sandwiches stuffed with roasted vegetables so colorful they look like precious jewels, and cakes and cookies for in-between. There's also a salad bar with an enormous array of fresh produce, and a steam table filled with pastas, rice and other hot dishes, and soups that fully showcase the inventive minds in the kitchen. One day while I was standing at the counter, trying to make up my mind, a woman came in and said, "It's so beautiful. Every time I come here I feel as if I should take a pic» ture. So, I thought, I'm not the
chini, or root vegetables with orange vinaigrette or — my favorite — roasted portobello mushrooms, all about $4.75 and on homemade bread. (If roasted vegetables on a sandwich sound too weird for you, there's also smoked chicken breast, garlic-herb turkey and curried tuna). The "trumpets" — homemade pitas filled with an incredible variety of foods —

are also delicious, and the pizzas are a steal at $2 for onequarter or $4 for a half. T h e soups are extraordinary and varied: African nut stew might share the menu with gypsy tomato soup, puree of parsnip, and curried cauliflower. The only problem with the soups i may only brief m p | — and the menuS attached. There are a few tmi would count as relative duds: A tofu-and-brown-rice dish was bland and uninspiring, and a trumpet stuffed with potatoes and gorgonzola was a bit heavy. (Well, what was I expecting?) The "jungle cookies" are too dense for my taste, and the vegan chocolate cake made with tofu, though popular, is just not my idea of chocolate cake. (I'm not antivegan, though; I love the vegan blueberry scones). O n the other hand, I have friends who live on the jungle cookies, crave the tofu-andbrown-rice, and die for the chocolate tofu cake. There's certainly plenty of other stuff
to keep me satisfied. That's the word — satisfied — that keeps me coming back to Stone Soup. It's a paradox in our culture that we have so much food, but so little of it seems to give us what we need. The food here

The only down side about Stone Soup, from a customer's point of view, is that it's crowded. At lunchtime, all 36 seats — some of them at communal tables, a holdover from the former Origanum crowd — are already filled with the mothers and babies, students, artists, writers and business folk who make up

There's nothing dogmatic or holier-than-thou about the menu at Stone Soup, but the food is honest, and a meal there leaves you feeling well cared for.
Rifkin advises people to come early, or to try the underattended Saturday breakfast, when the usual sconesmuffins-pastry array of morning foods is replaced by a panoply of breakfast dishes: well-spiced homefries, quiches, frittatas, pierogis, challah French toast, latkes, and tofu scrambler, to name just a few. Unfortunately for me, a change in my work will soon mean that I won't be able to eat at Stone Soup very often. This may be good for my wallet — instead of bringing lunch from home I've been spending $5 a pop at the restaurant. But I guarantee it will be bad for my soul. ®

Carpel tunnel syndrome is one of those conditions that seems to be a product of our times, like the eyestrain that's particular to heavy computer users, or the neck pain found in people who drive too much.

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Happy birthday, you beautiful, surging spearhead. Here are a few of the gifts I'd love to see you get on this anniversary of your glorious entrance into the world: 1) a T-shirt that reads, "If at first you don't succeed, change your definition of success;" 2) an uncanny knack for avoiding other people's hells; 3) a mastery of the difference between destructive selfcontrol and liberating self-control; 4) a special dispensation abolishing any tendencies to fart or otherwise lose your concentration during magic moments; 5) the disposal of all psychic garbage left over from the years 19921997. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): According to Edward Hirsch, writing in The American Poetry Review, the French poet Robert Desnos was like a tender saint during his imprisonment at the Buchenwald concentration camp. He "floated through the ranks of the doomed prisoners...telling fortunes, encouraging people awaiting the gas chambers by opening their palms and predicting future happiness and long life." I bring this up, Taurus, in an effort to inspire your optimism I p u s year's version of the dark the soul. After all, your
vindicated. I predict that your next arrow will split the shaft of the arrow you landed in the bull's-eye last time. In archery, this rare feat is known as a "Robin Hood." CANCCR (June 21-July 22): It's an excellent time to donate big bucks to Amnesty International, or volunteer for the Peace Corps, or attend an international conference on the dangers of overpopulation. Likewise, the cosmos would vividly reward you for efforts you made to fight Burma's oppressive junta or Indonesia's repression of East Timor or the Turkish government's terrorism against the Kurds. But if all that seems beyond the call of duty, you can still take great advantage of your current astrological aspects — not to mention score major Brownie points with God — by working compassionate acts of magic on a more local level. Maybe you could volunteer to serve meals at a homeless shelter, or write a letter to the editor urging more bikeways in your community, or

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you have a cure for spring fever, don't tell me. I don't want to get rid of it — not in myself, not in you, not in anyone. The long gray sullen chill is over! Let's overcompensate like crazy as we rise up and revive our manic joie de vivre. You Virgos are especially deserving — and needful — of a bacchanalian spree: Of all the signs, you have the most virulent inhibitions to overthrow, and the most raw mojo to reactivate. (P. S. If you have any foolproof strategies for whipping up, enhancing and taking advantage of spring fever, send them to me at EO. Box 761, Petaluma, CA 94953 or www.realastrology.com/.) LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In my worldview, chaos comes in two main varieties. One is negative and disorienting, while the other is rejuvenating and benevolent. I believe you now are being animated by the power of the second kind. — •.s . ...i. ieofthepcopIe more by the chaos will win n excellent chance-

favors, and to talk extensively (with experts if possible) about improving your relationship to work. It is, however, most assuredly the wrong week to pay lip service, or to tolerate phoniness (especially in yourself), or to be lazy about asking deep questions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To be honest, I'll be only mildly shocked if heaven itself breaks open in your honor this week, revealing three 900-foot-tall angels playing your favorite inspirational songs through silver trumpets while nearby a fluorescent green UFO flies loop-deloops and pulls a banner that reads, "We love you more than you know, Sagittarius," and streams of gold confetti fall from a cloud shaped like your secret vision of paradise, each piece of confetti inscribed in miniature with a rosy fortune-cookie fortune personalized just for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you been fantasizing about taking a time out? D o you wish you had more breathing room? Can you imagine yourself disappearing for a while from the frenzied pace so you could craft the long-overdue changes t would make your groove more
getting you in trouble at work, but it's my civic duty to call your attention to the fact that April 6 is World Phone in Sick Day. And it's my astrological responsibility to let you know that you have a mandate to goof off and mess around and cut up far more than usual this week. Now if it's possible for you to fulfill the latter assignment while on the job, by all means show up as scheduled. Otherwise, I suggest you definitely phone in sick. (For more info, go to <http://www.paranoia.com/ ~rtmark/homereg.html> on the Web and click on "Phone in Sick Day.")
Pisces
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In the natural world, miscarriages are not uncommon. Biologists estimate that as many as one-third of all human pregnancies spontaneously abort. Applying this theme more metaphorically, I'd have to say that the percentage of brilliant ideas that never spawn practical results is at least as high. I'm sounding this warning for you, Pisces, because I believe the week ahead will be a turning point in determining whether the brainstorms of March will become the full-fledged brainchildren of this summer and fall. Nurture your fragile sprouts like crazy.
