Dear Cecil, A friend pointed out a haunting secret tucked away in the depths of The Wizard o f Oz. Way in the background at the end of the scene where the angry trees shake apples onto Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow, you can see a man who is sup­ posedly hanging himself. As the trio dances off on the yellow brick road singing “W ere O ff to See the Wizard,” you can catch a glimpse of this man supposedly setting out a block, hanging himself and, last kicking the block out with his foot.

Although this image is real enough to give you chills, it could conceivably be a fake. Is it? If it is real, then why did the direc­ tor keep it in the movie? W hat is the story of this man?

Last Wednesday night the Vermont filmmaker accepted two awards — and gave away one — with the same sense of humor that helped his film, Man With a Plan, sell 16,000 videos in Vermont. After calling his leading man “my significant other,” O ’Brien suggested Fred Tuttle has taken “method acting” to a whole new level. He also offered “the Bossies” as an alternative to “the Bessies.” More bovine. Fred liked it, too. As for the crowd, “There were about 200 people there, and I think they all got an award,” as one astute observer put it. Despite that, many are still bent out of

LIGHTS ON!

ROCK MAMAS

If you’ve missed Hardwick’s Velvet O vum Band, it’s because vocalist Peg Tassey Ayer has been concentrating more on m otherhood than music — though she promises a new V.O. disc next m onth.

But Peg is back, or at least on-air, this Sunday, 11-3, as co-host o f a special “Rock ’n’ Roll M om s” program from Jody Petersen — a m om h erself— on 104.7 T he Point. T he show will feature music by some o f rock’s most famous mothers, e.g., Chrissie H ynde, A nnie Lennox, Sinead O ’C onnor, as well as a live instudio performance by Velvet O vum . (By the way, the band is seeking a new bassist and drum mer. If inter­ ested, call 888-3898.)

O th er musical opportunities to celebrate M others’ Day: M etronom e, where Tam m y Fletcher, Jenni Johnson and T h e N ew N ile O rchestra offer up soul, blues and funk to benefit the W omen o f C olor Alliance — an organization which fights just about all the mean isms you can think of. C raig M itchell hosts this one. Last but not least, Rosalie Sorrels performs a

Bonuses for the sum m er series: Smoke-free, plenty of parking, food catered by the Daily Planet, and full bar includes, o f course, your favorite H ats. Stay tuned.

DERRICK SEMLER, ONLY L U r C (self-released G D )— Nice ’ri easy, Derrick Semler sidles into his debut C D w ith the snakv “lohnnv

G e t L a id B a c k

8-Ball,” the first o f 10 originals (I assume, since only one is attributed: "I Don’t See M e,” by the late Crow Levine) and covers that split their time between melancholy pop and m idtem po blues-rock. Semler has an appealingly breathy/scratchy voice that’s weathered some livin’ and possibly broken some hearts. Still, O nly Love takes awhile to get going: T he John Lennonish tide track is a senti­ mental ballad with a nice spot o f sorrowful slide from Don Sidney; “Setde Down” a slice o f Chicago-style walkin’ blues; the storytellin’ “J.D . Nicholson, Piano M an” a boogie-woogie that could lure any butt to the dance floor. By the time you get to the eighth track, “Bye Blues,” this disc is simmering along — but never comes close to boiling over. Senders more o f a competent team player than a show-off guitarist. Dan Archer, who also contributes guitar and mini-percussion, produced with vintage warmth and intimacy. These tracks get a retro treatm ent, too, with Brian Bull’s Wurlitzer and H am m ond washes (or Phil Abair or Chuck Setzer).

Senders crackerjack line-up also features Aaron Hersey, Daryl Johnson or Stacey Starkweather on bass, and Bruce McKenzie, Bill Kinzie or Phil C arr on drums. O ddly enough^ Semler wraps a sexy lover-croon around Dylans “Lay Lady Lay,” though the strum m y accom paniment is nondescript. T h e band kicks o u t at die end with an inthe-pocket rendition o f the honky-tonker, “Lean Mean Lovemakiri M achine” — Bull’s nimble hop on the grand is w orth waiting for. W ith so many vets on hand — and by sticking to blues-rock basics — one could hardly go wrong, and Semler doesn’t. But I’d like him to turn up the heat on the next one. □ pp

Think twice before you “disparage’"a vegetable it may be against the law —

Bv Ruth Horowitz ext time you consider maligning a melon, con­ sider this: In nearly 30 states, recently enacted or pend­ ing laws make the disparage­ ment of food products an actionable offense. Last year, Oprah Winfrey drew fire — and a $2 million law suit — from the Texas cattle industry after her broadcast about mad cow disease allegedly sent cattle futures through the basement at Chicago’s Mercantile Exchange.

This April, the issue moved closer to home. A high-powered Washington, D.C., law firm threatened to slap Food & Water, an environmental orga­ nization based in Walden, Vermont, with the country’s second agricultural insult suit.

The Village Voice picked up the story. So did the National Law Review, calling the two cases ‘ the first legal actions under new laws sweeping the country that aim to protect the nation’s food supply from the blight of criticism.’’

At issue: a February 1997 “Urgent Irradiation Action Alert” in which Food & Water urged its members to protest

sprouting up in state legislatures across the country.

The seeds of the agricultural anti-defamation movement were planted back in 1989, when Washington State apple growers tried — and failed — to collect compensation from CBS for $130 million in losses following a “60 Minutes” fea­ ture on the pesticide Alar. In response, several states enacted statutes based on model bills drafted for the American Feed Industry Association and the American Farm Bureau Federation by Olsson, Frank & Weeda, the same law firm now threatening to sue Food &C Water.

“Banana bills” or “veggie libel laws,” as Colby and other detractors call them, are designed to make it easier for agri-business to sue political activists, media outlets, or any­ one else who claims their prod­ ucts are unhealthy. The laws do this by shifting the burden of proof from plaintiff to defen­ dant, requiting thosg making statements about the safety of agricultural products to show that their claims are not false.

This isn’t Food & Water’s

N

the promotion of irradiated fruit by specialty produce mar­ keter Freida’s. The “Action Alert” also outlined Food & Water’s objections to food irra­ diation in general.

In a press release issued by United Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (UFFV), a trade organization representing Freida’s and 1500 other produce interests, including Dole and Sunkist, President Tom Stenzel says, “In the public debate on the use of chemicals or new

M o t h e r ’s

technologies Food & Water Inc.’s views are welcome. But when the organization interferes with our members’ rights to do business, we will defend those rights vigorously.”

Writing as General Counsel to the UFFV association in an April 10 letter, attorneys with the law firm of Olsson, Frank & Weeda warns Food & Water to “cease and desist” from dis­ seminating “false and mislead­ ing statements regarding picowave treatment of foods.”

“We still haven’t stopped laughing as a result of the let­ ter,” says Food & Water Executive Director Michael Colby. “We have a number of very prominent civil liberties attorneys chomping at the bit to take on this case. If they were looking to intimidate, they knocked on the wrong door.”

If UFFV does carry out its threat, the Food & Water case would be among the first tests of the agricultural disparage­ ment laws that have been

TRAVELIN' LADY

Thirty years and five children later, Rosalie Sorrels is still on the road

By Pamela Polston osalie Sorrels’ Mothers’ Day concert will be truly an all­ ages show. The 63-year-old folk singer has weathered all sorts of life — including the death by suicide of one of her own five children — and has the songs, the presence to prove it. Deeply expressive, sassy and knowing, her alto voice — think Patsy Cline meets Edith Piaf— could rock a roadhouse, incite a protest movement or reduce you to teary-eyed singalongs. But after more than 30 years on the grown-up folk cir­ cuit, Sorrels recently released her first album for kids: What Does It Mean to LoveI The matinee timing of the concert this Sunday, too, encourages the whole family to come along.

But if Sorrels reaches out, grandma-like, to any kid in the audience, that doesn’t mean she’ll shy away from the politi­ cal or the poignant — two threads that weave exquisitely through her last adult album, 1995’s Borderline Heart. Sorrels begins that recording with a medley based on an old Bob Wills song, “Going Away Party/Looking For Lew,” about the loss of dreams and an old

R

“Lonesome Georgia Brown,” this sparsely accompanied by Barbara Higbie on piano and guitar from producer Mitch Greenhill. You can’t call Sorrels a folk singer without tacking on some serious caveats.

Rosalie Sorrels began her motherhood at age 19 and spent a decade and a half raising five children as a housewife in Salt Lake City. In between the dia­ pers and the dinners she collect­ ed, wrote and sang folk songs; her house was a favorite hang­ out for a legion of musicians and poets passing through in the 1950s and ’60s. Finally Sorrels traded her married life for the touring one; she hit the road with the kids, and made her first appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. That same year saw her debut national release, I f I Could Be the Rain.

Sorrels has toured relentlessly over the years — the arduous trek to cult status, aka, lots of adoring fans and critical acclaim, but far from the financial success that only mainstream “hits” pro­ vide. Despite the painful arthri­ tis that plagues her now, this mother keeps on touring.

Considered the prototype for current folk artists like Nanci Griffith and Iris Dement, Sorrels is known for her captivating We perfor­ mances — intimate, funny, warm, a natural storyteller. As for her lyrics, their depth has touched even the cynical writer Hunter Thompson. “Rosalies songs are so close to the bone that I get nervous listening to them,” he has said. Griffith her­ self was inspired to write about Sorrels in 1987’s “Ford Econoline”: “She’s the salt of the earth/Straight from the bosom of the Mormon Church/W ith a

But in the margins o f the lyric sheet the longtime leftie writes, “I’ve slowed it down and added a drunken tear so I could dedi­ cate it to the death of the gen­ erous impulse in United States politics. I have never been able to understand why anything relative to our political process would be referred to as a party... Republican or D em ocrat...”

On the heels of her cabaretstyle delivery of this one comes the heart-wrenching tribute to her eldest, hitchhiking son — she was in Vermont when she learned of his death. It is also a lament that she has ceased to pick up riders, a sign of the times. “He took his life in 1976 one summer night in Bolinas, California. I continued to pick up hitchhikers for quite awhile... picturing him strand­ ed between the stars... even though my friends worried that some awful fate would befall me. I used to say: ‘Oh, I always pick up the ones with the guitars...’

One day some flinty, cold-eyed voice said, ‘Charles Manson had a guitar.”

Like her live concerts, Borderline Heart is full of sur­ prises: T h e ________ swampy funk Rosal i e So r r el s , of “Gospel Recital Hal l , Snake.” The gorgeous, U n i v e r s i t y of Chris Vermont, B u r l i n g ­ Smitherton. May 11, 3 p.m. penned ballad,

voice like wine/Cruisin’ along in that Ford Econoline.”

Sorrels has publicly decried the music industry’s attempt to “homogenize women and eth­ nicity into something blander.”

Her womanhood, motherhood and neighborhood — she lives in the cabin her father built in Boise, Idaho — etch out the personal history of Rosalie Sorrels. All three are a source of strength and pride, as surely as her music. In her reprisal of the Bruce Phillips song, “If I Could Be the Rain,” on Borderline Heart, Sorrels gives away her soulbound secret: “If I could hide the way I feel, I’d never sing again.” It’s a secret she shares again and again.

This month, as she strikes out on yet another grueling tour, Sorrels will surely be thinking about the work left to do back home: fixing the roof.

A recent devastating fire destroyed the rafters in her cabin, which is the centerpiece of Sorrels’ life — the ashes of her father, mother and son are scattered nearby. In a recent Sing Out magazine, fellow trou­ badour Utah Phillips entreats readers to help his longtime friend, noting that an Idaho environmental group, the Snake River Alliance, has set up a bank account in Sorrels’ name for contributions to the roof fund. “Please help out. Rosalie is one of our own,” Phillips writes. “We need her. Now she needs us.”

oward the end of Benjamins Crossing, in the most terse in a series of thematic epigraphs that divide this won­ derful novel into chapters, Jay Parini quotes his hero, the German cultural philosopher and critic Walter Benjamin (1892-1940): “Death is what sanctions everything the story­ teller can tell. Indeed, he bor­ rows his authority from death.”

Continued from page 7 remains more potential than actual; there is not yet a criti­ cal mass of American shop­ pers actively differentiating between companies that care and companies that couldn’t care less.

“The profit results for many magazines suggest strongly that they can get away without doing any of this stuff,” says Jay Harris, publisher of Mother Jones and keynote speaker at Thursday’s VBSR event.

“There’s a lot of soulsearching going on now on the part of socially responsi­ ble businesses in regard to the whole concept of a dual bottom-line,” notes Harris, iwho has long been active in the national organization of socially conscious companies.

“Given the way our econom­ ic system really works,” he says, “some members of the movement doubt whether it’s possible to pay as much attention to social and envi­ ronmental outcomes as to profitability.”

Questions are also being raised regarding the criteria for what constitutes a socially responsible business. WalMart, for example, is a mem­ ber of the national group.

Critics contend that the claims of conscientiousness made by many companies amount to “greenwashing.”

Barash cites “the plethora of schlock products that pro­ mote ‘rainforest this and rainforest that’ and are just bogus.”

“A lot of businesses do engage in greenwashing,” agrees John Quinney, an environmental consultant whose Simply Better store on Church Street went out of business earlier this year. “It would help if there were an auditing procedure in place that was persuasive to the general public.”

But VBSR director Jane Campbell thinks any sort of admissions standard would be inappropriate at this stage.

“We’d rather be inclusive and have people learn about social responsibility. We don’t feel we should be judging whether someone’s good enough to join.”

Many of the companies belonging to VBSR are small newborns. Will the costs of being socially responsible make it harder for them to succeed?

“I don’t think our mem­ bers have a higher failure rate than for businesses in gener­ al,” replies Campbell. “In fact, studies show that small companies do better when they get the kind of help that we provide through our workshops.”

S E V E N DA Y S

In addition to its annual conference, VBSR organizes monthly “circles” at which businesspeople share advice and concerns. The sevenyear-old organization also undertakes lobbying activities — supporting the recently

approved increase in the min­ imum wage, for example — and focuses on issues relating to workplace quality. any proponents of , humane business poli­ cies argue that being attentive to community aspi­ rations doesn’t cost any more than ignoring such considera­ tions. Some insist that social­ ly responsible practices actu­ ally save money in the long run.

“Operating a business in this way certainly adds a layer of complexity that could be associated with higher costs,” says Quinney. Simply Better failed not because of its prin­ ciples, he says, “but because I wasn’t very good at retail.”

“I did pay more than the standard retail wage and offered what was probably a comparatively generous bene­ fits package,” Quinney con­ tinues. “On the other hand, I also got much better employees.

That realization is proving to be “a motivator for profitmakers” such as Marriott and Hewlett Packard, adds Campbell. “Big corporations are also coming to under­ stand that by paying good wages they’re more likely to have higher productivity, less employee turnover and a greater ability to attract top candidates for openings.”

Businesses also know they can often save money by being environmentally sound, notes Alan Newman, a founder of the Seventh Generation line of low-

M

impact products and now the president of Magic Hat Brewing Co. It’s easier for a business to be “green” today than was the case a decade ago when Seventh Generation was born, Newman says. “Back then, we didn’t have the resources that are currently available.

Everything was a big strug­ gle.”

Utilities, for example, now have economic incen­ tives for promoting energy conservation, he notes.

But it can still be very difficult to remain true to the ideals of social responsibility, says Barash of Autumn Harp.

“When do you compromise?

When don’t you compro­ mise? These are questions most of us ask all the time.”

One example is the case of recycled paper stock, which often costs more than the virgin product and does not always meet mass-market expectations of lily-whiteness.

Companies and con­ sumers alike should be realis­ tic and forgiving in their assessments of whether social responsibility standards are being met, advises VBSR director Campbell. “Every business has an impact on the environment, its commu­ nity and its workers,” she says, “and we’re trying to make that impact as positive as possible. But even compa­ nies that pay attention to all these'factors are still gbtrig «>' have a partly negative impact.” he socially responsible business movement isn’t yet close to transforming capitalism — not even in Vermont. VBSR’s claims of 330 members employing 16,000 people may sound impressive until one realizes that there are more than 20,000 businesses in the state and some 223,000 jobs.

Nationally, the movement has a much longer way to go before it begins to have a sig­ nificant impact on the busi­ ness of America.

VBSR, the largest such grouping in the country, does represent an encouraging start, maintains board chair­ woman Judi Danforth, co­ founder of a Middlebury pewter company that bears her and her husband’s name.

“It’s not a perfect thing, and you’re never really at the goal of being socially responsible — it’s a process rather than an outcome,” she notes.

Still, this ethic is gradual­ ly making a difference, Danforth insists. “It’s chang­ ing the paradigm for how businesses operate, and that’s no small thing.” U

TRAINSPOTTING

A couple in for the

o f Vermonters settle ride

By Nancv Stearns Bercaw esides being a weathered reporter for the Associated Press, Anne Wallace Allen is a seasoned traveler. She was born and raised in Australia, schooled at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., and by the age of 31 had amassed a pretty impressive international resume — including a stint with the United Nations in D.C. and a post with the United Press International in London.

So it’s not surprising that when she chose to settle down, it would be in a 1908 Pullman train car. Except maybe to her.

“I actually never thought of it that way,’ she says of what could easily be the perfect metaphor for a someone who’s going places but manages to remain remarkably grounded.

Her life was already on the right track when Wallace walked into the Vermont Cereal Company on an assignment for the AR and interviewed Eric Alien, .one of its corown£rs,Jt was <h<m^tH*c things ,topjk-a rh sudden and interesting.turn.

Last year, during the Vermont Legislatures recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone labeling debate, Representative Ruth Towne, a Berlin Republican and a member o f the House Agriculture Committee, introduced agri­ cultural disparagement legisla­ tion.

“The bill was prompted by strong attacks Food & Water made against Cabot,” Towne recalls. The purpose of the leg­ islation, she notes, was to pro­ tect Vermont’s dairy industry from being attacked “if we yveren’t polically correct enough [for organizations like] VPIRG and Rural Vermont and the Third World crowd.”

H.735 was passed on to Judiciary, which killed the bill out of concern for freedom of speech. “It was the sense o f the committee that such a tool really bumped up against the First Amendment,” says Brattleboro Democrat Tom Costello, who chaired the com­ mittee.

The action in February against Freidas was just one part of Food & Water’s ongo­ ing campaign against a food irradiation facility being pro­ posed in Hawaii, according to Colby.

He claims that both Hormel and Freidas dis­ associated themselves from food irradiation as a result of Food & Waters activism.

REMEMBERING ROYKO

By Peter Frevne he year was 1969. I’d trans­ ferred out of the seminary and into Loyola University to complete my bachelor’s.

Getting to Loyola required tak­ ing the “el” downtown and switching trains. The old Chicago Transit Authority cars were small and grungy, and their low-watt lightbulbs flick­ ered constantly. My first class was at 8:30 a.m., so I got to mingle with people going to work — truly one of the worst sights for the human eye.

One gray Chicago morning I was wedged in the aisle. As the train made the turn under the Chicago River, the scraping of the wheels against the rails filled my ears, and then a woman started laughing out loud. I craned my neck to see the source of the laughter. She sat scrunched against the win­ dow in a cloth coat and wool hat. Just a working stiff on the way to her daily drudgery. In her hands she held the previous day’s Chicago Daily News — the toddlin’ town’s afternoon paper.

There, running the length of page three, was the cause of her spontaneous joy. And at the top of the column was a picture of

T

When I exited at the Chicago Avenue stop, I made a beeline for the newsstand and bought myself a copy of the paper. This Royko fellow was shredding Mayor Richard J. Daley. Called the stout little Irish fireplug “The Great Dumpling.”

W hat nerve! What attitude!

From that day on, I was a daily communicant at the Church of Royko. I mean, any­ one who could bring a sliver of joy into the dreary morning rush hour had to be special.

Mike Royko was very special.

Over the next decade, Chicago became my town, too.

Six years behind the wheel of a cab provided the education no classroom ever could. And Royko was as much a part of the day-to-day Chicago exis­ tence as the ever-flashing blue lights of the cop cars, the paddywagons on patrol, the belch­ ing buses, the all-night restau­ rants and the Cubbies. The pathetic, heart-breaking Cubbies.

Royko wasn’t just a critic of the Daley machine. He was a surgeon who took da mayor and his cronies apart like he was pulling wings off a hornet.

As a kid working in his father’s saloon, it had often

been young Royko’s job to pass the envelope to the sergeant on Saturday mornings. Chicago was a city of envelopes in motion, envelopes without stamps or addresses, and every­ one from judges to cops to every kind of city inspector was on the receiving end. Ubi est meal— meaning, “where’s mine?” — was Royko’s motto for Chicago.

One day a few years later, I was behind the wheel of the taxi on Michigan Avenue.

Mr. Suburbanite hopped in back for a jaunt over to Northwestern Station. We were stopped at the light right by the Tribune Tower.

“Ugh,” came from the backseat.

“Say what?” I asked.

The guy was staring at someone on the sidewalk.

“Look at him,” he scowled. “What a drunk.”

“Who ya talking about, buddy?” I inquired.

“Right over there,” he nodded. “See him? See Mike Royko?”

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but considering the source, I accepted the com­ ment on Royko’s behalf as flat­ tery, pure and simple. I recall

Royko com­ plaining once about the new generation of reporters.

They don’t drink, he noted.

They jog!

Yuck.

I didn’t know back then that someday I’d end up writing a newspaper column. I never took a single journalism course.

(Frankly, the very notion is repulsive to me. How can you learn to describe reality inside

an ivory tower?) But it turned out I did have a teacher — I just didn’t realize it at the time.

The highest compliment I’ve ever received over the last 15 years was to have readers tell me I reminded them of Mike

0N

Royko.

Royko — who ended up at the mighty Chicago Tribune, became syndicated in over 300 newspapers nation­ wide, and won a 1972 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, among many other awards — once told some aspiring reporters, “Always have fun. Because if you don’t have fun writing something, no one will ever have fun reading it.”

Look, we’re not here for a long time — Royko’s recent departure reminds us yet again of this simple, brutal truth. For all we know, Mike’s got a new beat upstairs now, where Boss Daley has probably turned half the angels into precinct captains and ward heelers. The rest of ’em work for the Park District.

Nothing like a job with the Park District. Plenty of good saloons there, too, I bet. Plenty for Royko to write about. I mean, how can it really be Heaven without Mike Royko to keep ’em honest? □ M ike Royko died last Wednesday at age 64.

OP rom page 7 spirit much more fully than do any o f the suits who robotically run conglomer­ ates in accordance with some W harton School textbook.

There’s no question that Ben and Jerry have done plenty of good in the course of doing quite well them ­ selves. Their long list of socially conscious success stories includes a brownie­ buying arrangement with an inner-city bakery that trains disenfranchised people; importing nuts from the Amazon region in order to make it more profitable to harvest the rainforest than to raze it; targeting a stock offering at ordinary Vermonters; setting up “partnershops” with non­ profit groups such as the one that converted a Times Square hotel into low-rent housing; providing employ­ ees with benefits far more generous than those offered by most similarly sized com­ panies. ne of the book’s most appealing qualities is its relative candor. Ben & Jerry’s does not excel in every endeavor, the authors admit, citing specific examples of operational shortcomings and political shortfalls.

Cohen and Greenfield

O

respect as well: failure to acknowledge that the whole

is, in effect, asking for trou­ ble by fostering “elevated expectations,” but that does­ n’t excuse ersatz exposes o f the sort published in the Boston Globe, accusing Ben & Jerry’s o f rank hypocrisy in regard to the rainforest nut venture. Companies that trum pet their righteousness — as Ben &c Jerry’s assuredly does — may make especially tempting targets. Yet wouldbe muckrakers ought to maintain a balanced perspec­ tive as they find fault with firms that clearly do more good than harm.

At the same time, it needs to be noted that the self-criticism presented in Double Dip does not extend to the very nature o f this — and every other — capitalist enterprise. Cohen and Greenfield don’t even ques­ tion the consumerist way o f life that is in fact responsible for some o f the social ills they seek to ameliorate. The profit-based imperative of growth, growth and more growth also goes largely unexamined.

The book, along with the authors’ relentless self-pro-

rests on an utterly inconse­ quential commodity. Hey, guys, keep in mind that its only ice cream you’re selling, not a cure for cancer.

Double Dip concludes on a somewhat downbeat note.

The company “has not offered great financial returns for its shareholders in the recent past,” its lead­ ers concede. Consequendy, Ben & Jerry’s is under m ounting pressure to aban­ don its value-led approach to doing business. Rather than offering a resounding reaffir­ mation o f this philosophy, Cohen and Greenfield are uncharacteristically cautious in their forecast, stating only that “being vaiues-led is actually a tremendous com­ petitive advantage.”

Regardless of whether the company manages to keep on scooping far into the future, its place in the annals o f capitalism is already secure. Every entrepreneur now knows, thanks to the Ben & Jerry’s model, that “you don’t have to sacrifice social improvement on the altar o f maximized profits. ”□

“The idea is to expose people here to different sports,” DeMarco says. “You bring a llama in here carrying golf clubs, it’s different!”

Trekking llamas in the cav­ ernous home of the Vermont Wanderers’ pro soccer team may be unusual, but delivering the interactive segment of water- or air-based sports is a bit like dragging the mountain to the hiker. “It’s one thing to put out trade booths,” Hotchkiss notes. “But it’s another thing to fit in a soaring plane, a hang-glider, boats and

a pool.” Indeed. Even the non-sporting public will come just to see how these ambitious organizers put it all under one roof.

The 30-foot pool installed for the show is the largest above-ground model available, Hotchkiss says — though it’s not much of a trip for a 15-foot canoe. Plans originally called for a longer lap pool, until engineers nixed the idea as structurally unsound for use by scuba divers, water dog training and paddling sports, Hotchkiss adds, explaining that the intent —is for people to simply get into the boats and receive instruc­ tion.

For windsurfer Phil Mann, the round, 24,000-gallon pool will do just fine. Mann says he’ll simply sail in circles, taking advantage of the 10-knot breeze created by three industrial-grade fans. “I’m only doing the show because I want to windsurf indoors,” he jokes. In fact, Mann believes the controlled environment is an excellent place to gain exposure and teach the basics of windsurfing. “We’re going to be able to get a lot of kids up there sailing and show how easy the sport is,” he says.

Told in a series o f “docu­ ments” and fictionalized remi­ niscences, criss-crossing back and forth through time, the whole o f Benjamin’s life and work has been condensed and presented around a gripping narrative o f his final days, when Benjamin found himself on the run from the Nazis, fleeing occupied France with a chronic heart condition and a “precious manuscript” in his hands. It was his magnum opus, Parini tells us, the fruit o f 10 years’ labor on a project­ ed book about French com­ mercialism that was simultane­ ously an indictment o f modern culture — its cheapness, its essentially “bargain” nature, its infernal mobility and its horri­ fying collective “m ind.” For Parini, Walter Benjamin “was a defender of the Enlightenment.

This was his private work against fascism.”

“T he m odem age is the age o f hell,'’’"says Benjamin here.

“O ur punishment is the latest thing available at the time.”

And “the latest,” Parini adds, weaving his own words with his hero’s, “is always ‘the same thing through and through.

This constitutes the eternity of hell and the sadist’s mania for novelty.’ Thus fashion fills every shop window, consumes all our conversation and thought, becomes a regressive phenomenon, a form o f com, . v. . . . pulsive repetition in the mask It is, o f course, no accident

W hen asked to back up these claims, Colby makes a vague reference to “rooms and rooms full of scientific studies and data.” He also alludes to statements by Marcia Van Gemmert, a toxicologist with the Food and Drug Association, that studies haven’t proven the safety o f irradiation.

“We don’t have any ill will towards a lychee or a rambutan or a star fruit. It’s those fruits that have been exposed to the equivalent of millions o f x-rays that we have a problem with,” Colby says.

According to the nonprofit group Consumers International, however, the pic­ ture is more complicated. For one thing, food irradiation can actually safeguard public health by killing insects and pests and 4 destroying micro-organ­ isms. The process also delays foods’ normal ripening and decay processes, so they can be stored longer.

But having gone large part because his focus is through the methodical process of observation and recreation of predominantly a realistic por­ trayal of quotidian objects. Too an image on canvas, Spurgeons minimal even to fall into the insightful statement is headier domain o f still lifes, his subjects than it at first appears — and are one or several pieces of fruit this from a man whose obses­ or vegetable, sometimes in a sion, it would seem, is to make white porcelain bowl; a couple an apple the most sensuous of plastic bottles, of the type thing on Earth.

— the victorious result of these paintings puts the lie to what­ ever struggle may have taken place to accomplish them.

Despite the simplicity that first meets the eye, Spurgeon’s ele­

mental visions are not about austerity; they manage a sump­ tuous sensuality, like the very spark of life itself. Sit with these apples or persimmons or lemons awhile and you will begin to see them with the epi­ curean lust of a starveling.

This is easier to feel, of course, toward edibles — the shampoo bottles are a stretch.

No matter the subject, though, Spurgeon endows it with nearly celestial luminosity; reality is softly blunted, colors are often

leavened with white.

Backgrounds are simple: table surface and wall the same color but for shadow. In these paint­ ings, Spurgeon’s gift is the placement o f light, creating a

focal point that is like a window onto the soul.

As for the landscapes, “Pulpit Harbor” spells quietude with glasslike water, feathery greens and a sprinkle of waiting boats. “Mountain Ridge,” though, is so impres­ sionistic that only the familiar shape o f hills against sky sug­ gests what it is. “Fletcher” is a masterful exercise in the subtle segue of land-greens to skyblues.

Regardless of subject matter,

Spurgeon’s feffbrts here convey^ in the end, the essence o f being Their simple self-possession makes the other exhibit in Furchgott Sourdiffe’s homey new digs seem boisterous by

comparison. Titled “Dwellings: Real and Imaginary,” its 13 or so artists provide a very mixed bag o f domestic images, from the delightful 3D constructions of Lincoln fifthand sixth-graders, to the cobalt perfection of Kathleen Kolb’s small homes-at-night, to the dainty pointillist landscapes of David Utiger. The collection is more merry than moving, a vibrant celebration of hearth and home. □

their shoulder and neck sa\ things I noticed was “ ration of the voice w o u l d ^ f d mote Based on this experience op a meditative style with experiential anatomy and kinesiology teachc Caryn McHose — known as Resonant Kinesiolo which relies on a combination o f touch, sound, movement and attention to empower individuals to directly influenfciltheir own health*: “The standard medical way o f looking atfibf example, a sore shoulder is [to provide treatment] based on the diagnosis for this constellation of hurts and movements,” Borg says. “W hat I’ll do is pay attention to what is there and draw the clients In a typical session, Borg might ask a client to describe discomfort using metaphors, and use imagi nation focus on, or “enter” the problem area. Once a client can pinpoint and describe his or her pain, Borg helps assign a sound that will address the dis­ comfort, and the two serenade the source.

“A lot of what were doing is amplifying the experience of something we do all the time to the point where it becomes conscious,” Borg says. “For example, if something hurts, most of us will moan, and usually that moan is vibrating in the place that hurts, but were not accustomed to noticing that.

Borg does not recommend Resonant Kinesiology as a substitute for allopathic remedies in the case of serious illnesses, but says that it has been used suc­ cessfully in conjunction with traditional treatments, or when a client has exhausted other avenues of healing for less threatening problems, such as chron­ ic headaches or migraines. Also, because the effects are gradual (she recommends at least four sessions to see results) Borg maintains that Resonant Kinesiology should not be used to address health problems in need of immediate treatment.

“It’s important that people not approach this kind of work [believing] ‘Well, I can just think my way better,’ says Borg. “This is not something for emergency needs.” Instead, she says, her bodywork is most effective for people intereste^jn learning techniques that lead to long-term health and well­ being. - J A “People come away from this work with the sense that they have the power to directly influence their own health,” says Borg. “They come away knowing that they have a personal capability of engaging and affecting illness... and that in itself is often the most powerful thing.” □

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. Pr- 19): Although you’ll never find an advertisement for Coke or Nike within the hallowed confines of this column, you will find lots o f hype for more spiritual commodities, like freedom, psychosexual satisfaction and creativity. I’m just as much a huckster as everyone else. My flackery may be more sacred and uplifting than most others, but the fact remains that I’m still trying to coax you to “buy” my ideas. Moral of the story: Everyone, even Mother Teresa and Dan Rather, is selling something. It’s with this in mind that I urge you to spend this week honing your sales pitch. There’s never been a better time to coax other people to believe in and acquire more of what you think is good ro for them.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): 1 was sitting in my meditation chair trying to zero in on your horoscope this morning when my six-year-old Taurus daughter Zoe and her Taurus pal Max pushed open my door. Their faces were painted like tigers. Their homemade feather and leather costumes made them look like apprentice shamans. As they leapfrogged over each other in circles, they screeched out war whoops and crazed bird cries. Next they jum ped u| on my piano bench and began bashini out tuneless melodies on the keyboard with their toes. Was I upset by the interruption? O f course not. It was obvious they’d arrived just in time to act out the advice 1 was supposed to

ancestors, but he won’t fire you. Your angry lover may spraypaint obscene graffiti on your car, but won’t put dynamite in the gas tank. So relax.

Calm down. Things are better than they look. N ot a lot better, but better.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I got an e-mail notification that my website (www.realastrology.com/) has wot been placed on CyberPatrol’s “Banned Web page” list. That worries me. If my writing isn’t provocative enough to offend right-wing zealots, I’m doing something wrong. After all, I’m not here to help you float placidly in the mainstream. My goal is to inspire you to splash and surf and maybe even walk on the water now and then; better ye£, I’d like you to branch off the mainstream and forge your very own tributary. Therefore, in response to my failure to get censored, I’ve resolved to redouble my efforts to be a creative troublemaker. Luckily, the stars are with me. All us Cancerians ^ receive extra encoui

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The saffron robes o f Tibetan monks and black habits of nuns are outer signs of their devotion. But among religious devotees there’s also a tradition of wearing hidden clothing that’s charged with symbolic meaning — in other words, sacred underwear. Some Mormons, for instance, regularly slip on a white neck-to-knee garment that’s meant to remind them o f their pact with God. The philosopher Pascal ’ :d poems leight of an int

you to loosen your grip and back off.

Now is such a time. Check out the following words of wisdom, which one of my Scorpio readers, Karol Lee McLeod of Louisville, keeps on her refrigerator: Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. A nd dance like nobody is watching.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m afraid this message was not printed on hemp paper with soy-based ink. And it would be a lie to say that no small animals were harmed in its creation, since I devoured a chicken sandwich two hours before composing it. So I hope you don’t think I’m being hypocritical when I tell you your top assignments for the coming week. 1) Don’t just throw away materials, ideas and dreams which are no longer useful in their present form. Recycle them or use them as fertilizer. 2) Take steps to use energy much more efficiently,

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Well, Aquarius, you’re certainly not in any immediate danger from overdosing on narcissism. I almost wish you were, though. I can’t help but speculate that your previous dearth of self-love might be healed by basking in way too much sweet conceit for a while. Would you do something for me? Would you go get a piece of paper right now and write down 10 reasons why you are such a blessed treasure? And then hug and kiss yourself as if you were greeting a long-lost lover?

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you surrender to the negative side of your personality, this week will be full of rapid mood swings, hemming and hawing, stealing from Peter to pay Paul, playing one side against the other, yo-yo dieting, and mixed messages about romance. If on the other hand you give in to the positive side of your personality, you’re likely to be successfully fighting for justice and equality, correcting lopsided arrangements that have been keeping you off-balance, brokering truces ana negotiating treaties, getting bullies to jlay fair and inspiring wimps to be ave. □

burning bushes and talking ravens appearing on your windowsill, Virgo.

Look at pizza billboards out of the corner or your eye just in case the pepperoni conceals the smiling face o f Jesus with a special message for you.

Your rational mind may be inclined to pretend these wonders and marvels are not happening, but I urge you to override its ridicule with this old Rosicrucian affirmation: “I will interpret every one of my experiences as a dealing of God with my soul.”
