DESIGN INTERN

diners who lamented the lack of good Chinese food in our area, and then embraced A Single Pebble when it blessedly opened its doors, don’t realize the extent to which a hole in our lives exists — a hole that can only be filled by a truly great Mexican restaurant. Please, for the love of all that is gastronomically holy, will someone with the ample funds it takes to open an eatery these days open a Mexican restaurant that serves fresh, authentic meals? I don’t care if it’s Tex-Mex, CalMex, New Mexican or just Mexican. And if you don’t know there’s a differ ence, my friend, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. All I ask for is real chile verde on my Mexican menu, not onion rings or BBQ sauce. I miss homemade corn tortillas, spicy chorizo, pipan sauce, posole, and a chef who knows what pasilla chilis are and isn’t afraid to use them. So I ask my fellow diners to boy cott the tasteless fare that is served up at our local restaurants. Realize that until we refuse their junk, they will continue to pump out sub-par Mexican and we will continue to . suffer the consequences. The,time has come for Burlington to ebjbrace the delectable cuisine of Mexico. / Viva Mexico! Leigh Winterbottom

THE RIGHT REVEREND Thanks so much for the great article/interview with William Sloane Coffin [“The Unquiet American,” May 7]. I was privileged to hear him a number of times in my teens, when my parents took me to services at Riverside. I don’t remember him specifically, but I do remember that I loved to go there. The main attrac tion (for me) was the pipe organ and choir (Fred Swann was director of music at that time), but I suspect Dr. Coffin’s messages spoke to me, also. I’ve had the privilege of hearing him preach at a worship service in Burlington’s First Congregational Church several years back... He is just as brilliant, articulate and com passionate a man as you portray. Thanks for an inside look! Nancy Osborne

I’d like to address two past Seven Days issues in my letter — “What’s Wrong With Burlington” [March 19] and “The Food Issue” [May 14]. I believe the answer to the first lies in the sec ond and can be summed up in one simple word: Mexican. Burlington desperately needs a good Mexican restaurant. And I mean a good Mexican restaurant, not the sad excus es that pose as Mexican and remain inexplicably filled to the brim with diners sucking down pathetically weak margaritas and soggy, bland burritos. I believe the many savvy Vermont

tion. Last week’s “Sleepless in Iowa and Seattle” [May 21] was priceless. “He [presidential hopeful Howard Dean], talks about the Vermont model. From kindergarten teachers [who] can identify the five kids most likely to end up in jail 15 or 20 years later.” What a nugget! I never realized that the Vermont public school system had this capacity. And with class sizes of less than 20 students, more than 25 percent of the student body must belong to the FFV, Future Felons of Vermont. Talk about a Vermont model! It’s enough to go sleepless in Bratdeboro, Bennington and Burlington for some time to come. Are our public schools devoting sufficient resources to this large sub group of miscreant students? Do they get career training and counsel ing to ensure future success as crimi nals? Or are they placed in general studies in the general population, with little regard for their true tal ents and ambitions? Do they drop out or graduate directly to a lockup, or is there an apprentice period between school and the slammer? Kudos, Peter. This is a story almost untold. Go out and get the; rest of it. Oh, take ex-New York Times reporter Jayson Blair with you. Jonathan Wright BURLINGTON

tioning Juniors in one part of your most recent “Deep Dish” column [May 14]. But I was disappointed when our name was mistakenly omit ted from the section regarding fine Italian restaurants in the area. Don’t let our outside appearance fool you. While Juniors may have begun 11 years ago as a pizzeria, many of your readers can tell you that we have grown to become a whole lot more! We took a small, former gun shop and turned it into a multi-level community landmark

with the pizzeria on the main level, fine dining upstairs, and the area’s only authentic Italian bakery/cafe downstairs. Not to mention our very popular catering operation. This suc cess has enabled us to give back to the community through our involve ment with many charitable organiza tions. With all that we’ve worked to achieve, it’s unfortunate that you overlooked our fine establishment. Frank Salese SHELBURNE

Salese is the proprietor o f Junior’s Restaurant in Colchester. MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS On Monday May 5th, the first day of union negotiations, the City Market management team asked that the union negotiating team... agree not to talk to the press about... any thing related to the business aspect of City Market. Then on Thursday May 22, at our most recent negotia tion meeting, management requested that they disclose “sensitive financial

information” to the union negotiat ing team, but insisted that this infor mation not be shared with any of the workers at the store. After some debate the union got the managers to agree to share the information with the whole store with the prom ise that the information would not “leave the C O O P ”... because it could potentially sabotage the busi ness. Ironically, the next day the man agers at City Market submitted a press release to the Burlington Free Press about our wage proposal and the supposed dire financial state of the Coop — the exact thing that we, as a negotiating team, had agreed not to do. Management’s blatant dis regard for the negotiating process, as well as their deceitful ploy to under mine our right to a livable wage is disappointing and detrimental to the progressive and positive spirit that the UE had strived to achieve at the City Market. I think that it is imperative that the workers at the City Market, as well as the people of Burlington, take a careful look at management’s threat of “closing down” the store. Although management gave the union negotiators percentages and figures of net operating loss, they failed to include the percent of per sonnel expenses that goes to paying managers’ salaries; or the percent of money that is going towards build ing more administrative offices... or how much of our loss is a result of

management’s careless... financial organization and control; or a result of the fact that 70 percent of our store caters to a middle- to upperclass minority of the Burlington population; or a result of poor main tenance and knowledge of store operations and machinery... or how much of this “operating loss” is due to the time workers and managers spend in meetings in which manage ment disregards labor laws about direct dealing in order to plug their arguments for an open shop. The workers of City Market are clearly interested in the success of our store... We organized ourselves and democratically devised systems, benefits, and a comprehensive wage scale that would make City Market the best place to work in Burlington, as well as a successful business. After hearing for the last three months about the financial success of City Market... I refuse to believe that this multi-million dollar busi ness cannot afford to pay its employ ees wages that would enable them to pay rent, pay bills, and still be able to buy the food that they order, receive; distribute, stock, package, cook and sell. Ask yourselves, is this really asking too much? Christine Seddon BURLINGTON

s lawmakers strolled out through the front door last week to partake in the annual bar becue on the front steps of the Statehouse, they had to slide by a few Japanese tourists photographing the Ethan Allen statue. The scene said it all: The tourists have arrived — lawmakers, go home! Surely the General Assembly will wrap up the first half of the 2003-2004 session this week. The climactic endgame will be played out with great flourish in the daily papers and on the evening news. Wrap-up stories will feature the highs and lows, the winners and losers. Since yours truly is tak ing a little vacation next week, we’ll have to get our licks in early. On the change front, sparklers will be legal this Fourth of July for the first time and, starting in January, a Vermont fishing license will prevent you from getting pinched by New York game wardens on the west side of Lake Champlain. Whoopee! In October the state sales tax will jump 20 percent, from five to six cents on the buying dollar. It’s what Gov. Jim Douglas wanted, and the Demg^ratic leadership in the Senate caved and gave it to him. In return, the statewide property tax for public schools will drop an average of 20 percent starting in 2005. They’ll all call it property “tax relief” and declare “victory.” But proponents of allowing sick and dying Vermonters to legally smoke pot were defeated. The medical marijuana bill rolled through the Senate, but died in the House. Speaker Walt Freed kept it buried in committee. That’s a surprise, you say, because last year the Republican House rallied behind Progressive Rep. David Zuckerman’s medical pot proposal. W hat’s up? It’s worth noting that last year it was the Democratic Senate that had serious misgiv ings about legalizing grass for the sick. Those misgivings were clearly related to the fact that Howard Dean, Democratic gov ernor and soon-to-be presidential candi date, strongly opposed it. The conventional wisdom was that Dean would catch enough flak for legaliz ing same-sex marriage in the form of civil unions. He doesn’t need another layer of flak for legalizing pot. (However, a poll released this week by the U N H Survey Center indicates 54 percent of New Hampshire voters support issuing marriage licenses to gay couples!) All the Senate would agree to last year was a summer study. And the summer study came back with a green light. But this year, the political dynamic has changed. Namely, there’s a Republican gov ernor on the Fifth Floor. And Jim Douglas toes the Bush administration line on drugs and just about everything else. In fact, the W hite House Drug Czar has launched a $200 million advertising campaign to stifle moves by the states to approve medical marijuana use. So — surprise, surprise — this year the Democratic Senate overcame its qualms and overwhelmingly passed a medical mari

juana bill 22-7. It would have been 23-7 had not Sen. Peter Welch (D-Windsor) been forced to preside that day due to Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie’s absence. In fact, five Republicans voted for legaliz ing the medical use of marijuana: Sens. John Bloomer (Rudand), Republican leader Rob Ide (Caledonia), Jim Green wood (Essex/Orleans), Diane Snelling (Chittenden) and Phil Scott (Washington). But — surprise, surprise — this year the Republican-controlled House, so happy to oppose Dean last year, suddenly grew hesi tant. Couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the new Guv’s a Republican, could it? P.S. Gov. Jimbo has been a loyal support er of everything Bush since he took office. Week after week he’s defended George W. Bush’s unilateral invasion of Iraq to rid Evil Dictator Saddam Hussein of his terrible weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). As everyone knows, however, our victo rious military hasn’t found any WMDs in Iraq. The other day we asked Jimbo if Dubya fcad*lied.”>| Absolutely not, replied Douglas indig nantly. “We can’t find Saddam Hussein, ■ either, but I believe he exists.” That goes for Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, too, we presume. Ah, yes — George Orwell’s 1984 at last! Better late than never, eh? From th e Farm — One of the best moves by the legislature this year was to quickly sign on to the emergency loan program Sen. Sara Kittell (D-Franklin) proposed for cash-strapped dairy farmers who needed to plant their spring crops. Kittell, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, gets kudos for being “the little engine that could” on this one. Her bill sailed through the Statehouse in record time. Gov. Douglas quickly jumped on the bandwagon and, just as quickly, took credit for it. Two programs have been established under the Vermont Economic Development Authority (VEDA — www.veda.org). One provides direct loans up to $100,000. The other defers farmers’ current monthly payments on their debt load for nine months. “It sure beats tax breaks for the rich,” said Kittell, a proud Democrat from dairyrich Fairfield. Sen. Kittell told Seven Days that about 60 loans have been issued so far. The average loan has been $50,000. But there’s a snag. According to Sen. Dairy Queen, banks so far have been reluctant to sign on to the second program, the one that defers cur rent lofin payments. True enough, said VEDA’s Jo Bradley on Tuesday. “We’re in the process of working out a master agreement with the banks,” she said. It’s “too early to tell” if the lenders will refuse to play ball or not. Damn bankers. IN S ID E T R A C K »

Curses, Foiled Again

Federal authorities charged Jonathan Waldon with attempted bank robbery after police said he entered a bank in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and demanded $50,000. He was arrested inside the bank, which is in the same down town building as the local FBI office and across the street from the city police depart ment. “If you rob the bank in the same building as the FBI, it won’t take long,” Assistant U.S. Attorney John Green said.

dazed and staggering.” • Kevin Barnes, 20, of Northampton shire, England, died from an explosion after he put a homemade pipe bomb in his mouth and lit the fuse. Northamp tonshire Coroner Anne Pember ruled the death accidental, explaining that wit nesses said Barnes was fooling around with the pipe bomb but didn’t intend for it to go off.

Siren's Song Big-Bang Theories Firefighters were called to a home in Scarborough, Australia, when smoke began pouring from a microwave oven. The unidentified

Fire and Emergency Services district officer Alan Riley added, “It’s a timely reminder to people not to put things in the microwave other than food.” • Investigators in Lake Worth, Florida, concluded that an explosion behind the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art was caused by a grease fire that start ed while artist Douglas Ferrin was cook ing pork chops near a 5-pound keg of gunpowder. Five loud explosions and 20 smaller blasts rocked the main street, destroying the museum’s workshop and a sport utility vehicle. “I heard boom, boom, and a man went flying through a window,” Sharon Puhalainen, the owner of a nearby shop, told the Palm Beach Post. “He went back in and there was another explosion, then he came out

Low-Tech Solution

Drug traffick ers in Afghanistan and Pakistan are thwarting anti-narcotics task forces using the latest surveillance and interception technology by relying on pigeons. According to intelligence reports, at least 300 pigeons carry about 1100 pounds of heroin from Afghanistan to Pakistan every year. That’s worth $75 million on the European market.

Second-Amendment Follies Daniel Benjamin Berry, 17, was blinded in both eyes while helping some other teenagers try to shoot a frog from a potato gun in Denton, Texas. When the

gun misfired, Berry looked down the PVC pipe barrel to see what was wrong. The gun went off, and the frog struck him in the face.

Ten-Commandment Follies

Tennessee ministry that set out to “renew America one child at a time” by paying young people $ 10 to memorize and recite the Ten Commandments has run out of money. George and Marion Kelley started the Ten Commandments Project in 1997 to help young people under stand right from wrong. They gave away about $200,000 and eventually had to dip into their own retirement savings to honor their commitment. “We are vic tims of success,” said George Kelley, 76, who put the project on hold “until the Lord provides additional money.”

More Woes Forests in the Appala chian Mountains risk losing water because the base of clouds that form over the northeastern United States has risen 594 feet over the past 30 years, according to researchers. Andrew Richardson of Yale University told New Scientist magazine that the higher cloud base means that many spruce and fir trees can’t scavenge water from the clouds, raising the boundary between deciduous and coniferous trees. • Scientists studying air pollution in Houston, Texas, discovered microscopic bits of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the city’s hazy atmosphere. The source, they concluded, is barbecue grills. Matthew Fraser, an environmental engineer who led the Rice University study, said the particles, which are released when grease from meat sizzles on hot coals, can lodge

in the lungs, causing heart and respirato ry problems. • Divorce harms the environment, according to researchers at Michigan State and Stanford universities, who found the biggest threat comes from the increase in smaller households. “Every time you have fewer people living per house, you end up with another house plowing under another piece of land,” said Stanford University professor Paul R. Ehrlich. He said smaller households mean more cars on the road that increase greenhouse-gas emissions. He also point ed out that a large family might buy a 16-ounce box of cereal, while two small er families might each buy 8-ounce boxes, generating more waste.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T Indian lawmakers called for a ban on the use of the nation al flag in body painting and tattoos and the use of the national anthem as a ring tone in mobile phones. Irony Illustrated Volunteer fire fighters in Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada, responded to an alarm but couldn’t get to their equipment because it was the firehouse that was on fire. “We stood out here with the most hopeless feeling in the world,” Jack McClintock, 73, the town’s fire chief, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “It was even more heart breaking knowing that all our equip ment was right inside, and we couldn’t do anything about the fire because of that.”

s ecological footprints go, the United States is the planets undisputed Bigfoot, even when it comes to humanity’s most environ mentally friendly mode of transportation: the bicycle. Every year, Americans buy 20 million new bikes and send 15 million old ones to the landfill or scrap heap. Millions more gather rust and dust in garages and tool sheds while our bellies and butts expand into neighboring zip codes. Apart from the obvious health consequences of our sedentary lifestyles — epidemic levels of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and so on — were literally throwing away tons of precious commodities that could be improving the environment and raising standards of living around the globe. A coalition of local groups is getting huffy about this issue. The Chittenden Solid Waste District, Local Motion, FedEx, the Essex Rotary and the Green Mountain Returned Peace Corps Volunteers have teamed up with Pedals for Progress, a non profit organization in New Jersey that col lects used bikes and ships them to develop ing countries. Overseas, the bikes are refur bished b^r local mechanics and sold at a fraction of their cost. Their new owners use

cost, but donors are asked to contribute $10 toward the cost of shipping the bikes abroad. Soon, Queen City wheels will be hitting the roads of Barbados, El Salvador, South Africa, Panama, Ghana, Flonduras and Guatemala. Last year’s event netted 100 bikes; this year organizers are hoping to clear 300. For those who can’t make it June 7, the Chittenden Solid Waste District will be collecting old bikes at their Williston drop off center for the next six months. Just be sure to take the baseball cards out of the spokes first.

Winning over hearts and soles: Not long ago, referring to a city as “walkable” would have been redundant. Within the last century, most American cities were pedestrian-friendly, with nearly all essential goods and services accessible within a 10minute walk from home or work. The mixed-use neighborhood was the primary model for development until World War II, when it was nudged aside by the more space-hungry model of suburban sprawl. Designing communities around the needs o ftn e automobile chewed up real estate, separated homes from businesses and forced people behind the wheel every time they needed to go to the grocery store. Anyone too young to drive became dependent on their elders to get around; those too old to drive lost their independ ence and self-sufficiency. And nearly every one became dependent upon fossil fuels. But one organization is working to restore the walkability of cities. O n June 5, expert trainers from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking (NCBW) will be in Chittenden County to conduct Walkable Community Workshops. Elected officials, city planners and citizens will hear new ideas for slowing traffic, creating pedestrian-friendly intersections, improv ing sidewalks and getting kids to school in safer, healthier ways. Burlington was one of only a handful of cities nationwide selected to participate in the half-day “pedestrian road shows.” The point? Urban planners consider pedestrians to be the canaries in the coal mine. Their presence, or absence, indicates a population’s overall health. According to NCBW, fewer than one-third of American adults get enough physical activity; 40 per cent never get off their butts at all except to walk to the fridge. Burlington does a bit better than the national average when it comes to non-motorized travel. According to the 2000 census, nearly 17 percent of Burlingtonians commute by walking, and another 1.2 percent bike to work. And yes, that’s high compared to the rest of the country. Still, Burlington could be more walka ble. If you doubt that, stand on Battery Street and see how long it takes an elderly s or disabled person to get to the other side — if they dare cross there at all. ®

them to get to work, carry goods to market, bring doctors to remote locations and even serve as taxis and police transports. “The problem is not a lack of employ ment in the developing world. It’s the abil ity of people to get to where they need to be to work,” says Pedals for Progress founder David Schweidenback, a former Peace Corps volunteer in El Salvador. “By introducing mankind’s greatest invention, the wheel, you can grow these economies so that these people help themselves.” In the last 12 years, Pedals for Progress has distributed nearly 65,000 bikes world wide, making it the world’s largest bicycle recycler. O n Saturday, June 7, Burlingtonians can prove that what goes around comes around. Used but reusable bikes will be accepted for donation from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction. The cycles must be in rea sonably good shape — no bent or cracked frames or major rust — but can be missing minor parts. FedEx will ship the bikes to Pedals for Progress in New Jersey at no «, 'T 4 '

weet fancy Moses! Last year it was mice and this .year it’s monkeys. W hat’s next — a nest of vipers or a pack of jackals? According to a report from Discovery News, summing up the work of genetic scientists at Wayne State University’s School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan — are you ready? — “Chimpanzees share 99.4 percent of functionally important DNA with human beings” and should be reclassified as belonging to “our own genus, Homo." No jokes, please. In Latin, homo simply means “man,” as in Homo habilis, Homo erectus, “Ecce Homo!”and Homo sapiens. To be exact, you and I are now Homo sapiens sapiens —r- that’s “intelligent” twice over — based on the theory that humans have evolved even further than they had some 300,000 years ago, when our ancestors stopped being Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis), put down their clubs and got smart. “Chimps are more like a human than a gorilla,” says Dr. Morris Goodman, a pro fessor of anatomy at Wayne State, who L

In the simian world, the leader is chosen for his real size and strength, not for the way he looks on TV. And not for who his Daddy was. with his colleagues recently “analyzed 97 human genes, along with comparable sequences from chimps, gorillas, orang utans and Old World monkeys,” and con cluded that humans and chimps shared a common ancestor between four and seven million years ago, when they split off from macaques and baboons. “The traditional classifications need revising,” Goodman suggests, “because, as scientists, we’ve been working under anti quated notions, such as Aristotle’s ‘Great Chain of Being,’ in which animals were arranged in scales according to their degrees o f ‘perfection’ beneath humans.” OK, I’m game, although I think our antiquated notions have more to do with the Christian Bible than the wisdom of Aristotle. Up ’til now, chimps have been classified in the genus Pan — as in Peter Pan — but science has come a long way since J.M. Barrie wrote his play about little boys who won’t grow up, and Mary Martin told us all to clap our hands and shout, “I do believe in fairies! I do believe in fairies!” Discovery News credits evolutionary biol ogist Richard Dawkins with the ne plus ultra of ape-to-human remarks. “Imagine taking the hand of your grandmother,” he says, “who was holding the hand of her grandmother and so on down the line — 155 miles out, one of the women would be holding the hand of a chimpanzee.” Really? I doubt you’d have to go that far. My mother’s grandmother once said that she’d vote for a monkey before she’d vote for Roosevelt, but if you ask me all this sci

ence is an insult to chimps. My guess is that the Wayne State crew took one look at George W. Bush on that aircraft carrier and decided that a joke’s a joke. Monkeys don’t need to stuff socks in their pants to con vince the world that they’re men. You think I’m kidding? The matter of “Bush’s Basket” has caused an enormous flap in the Fourth Estate, among pundits both Left and Right, with Chris Matthews and G. Gordon Liddy practically wetting themselves on television over the Fiihrer’s bulging manhood. “Women love Bush,” Liddy says, in case you thought something else, while liberalpinko-commie-faggot Richard Goldstein, writing in The Village Voice, declares that “this was the first time a president literally showed his balls” to the nation. “Check it out,” says Goldstein — “your subconscious already has.” According to Goldstein, Bush’s handlers want you to think “that he’s not just coura geous and competent but hung.” That comment prompted gay Tory moralist Andlfcw Sullivan — of the online “barebacking” ads — to say that Goldstein is an “out-and-loud ‘proud sissy.’” All he, An drew, saw on that ship was “a guy in an air plane suit.” “I’m second to none in respecting certain aspects of the male anatomy,” Sullivan writes cutely in Salon. “But I must say, the notion that senior members of the Republican Party had actually contemplated shoving a sock down the Commander-in-Chief’s tightiewhities just didn’t occur to me.” These are things a monkey never needs to worry about. The creatures are messy, it’s true, and horribly promiscuous, but they don’t start wars and they don’t bomb chil dren and they don’t pretend that a runt from Texas, having lost a popular election by 500,000 votes, is ipso facto king of the jungle. My sister, a cell biologist, used to masturbate monkeys for a living — I’m not making this up — and she can tell you, if you don’t believe me: In the simian world, the leader is chosen for his real size and strength, not for the way he looks on TV. And not for who his Daddy was. My point? I ’m not sure I have one. But if I were a monkey right now, I’d be run ning fast in the other direction, away from Homo and back to Pan. A recent Time/ C N N poll reveals that 72 percent of all respondents think George W. Bush is doing “a good job” in the War on Terrorism. Osama bin Laden is still in hiding and so is Saddam Hussein. Iraq and Afghanistan are sinking in flames and the chimps who cur rently run this country now want a war in Iran. “Regime change,” don’t you know. “The United States will find the killers,” says the Monkey-in-Chief, “and they will learn the meaning of American justice. Just ask the Taliban.” The suspense is killing me. And while I’m on it — yes, we have no bananas. (Z)

Dear Cecil, What exactly does it mean to say that someone is “passiveaggressive?”I hear this term usedfrequently, usually with reference to a coworker, child, parent, etc,, who is being a pain in the ass. Surely there’s a more rigorous clinical defini tion than that. — Frank Caplice Chicago You might get some argument there, Frank. It’s true that if you look under “passive-aggressive personality disor der” (PAPD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual o f Mental Disorders (the older editions — more about that below), you find the syndrome solemnly described as a “pervasive pattern of passive resistance to demands for adequate social and occupational performance.” But once you delve into the history of the term, you realize that — at least in the eyes of its critics — it’s mostly use ful as a high-flown way to call someone a pain in the ass. The term “passive-aggressive” was introduced in a 1945 U.S. War Department technical bulletin, describing soldiers who weren’t openly insubordinate but shirked duty through procrastination, willful incompetence and so on. If you’ve ever served in the military during wartime, though, or for that matter read Catch-22, you realize that what the brass calls a personality disorder a grunt might call a rational strategy to avoid getting killed. After the war the term found its way into civilian psychiatric practice and for many years was listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the' bible of the men tal-health trade. According to the revised third edition (DSM-III-R, 1987), someone had PAPD if he displayed

five or more of the following behaviors: (1) procrasti nates, (2) sulks or argues when asked to do something he doesn’t want to do, (3) works inefficiently on unwanted tasks, (4) complains without justification of unreasonable demands, (5) “forgets” obligations, (6) believes he is doing a much better job than others think, (7) resents useful suggestions, (8) fails to do his share, or (9) unrea sonably criticizes authority figures. You may say: I know a lot of people like that. Or even: I’m that way myself sometimes. Exactly the problem. From the outset skeptics argued that passive-aggressive s behavior is an ordinary defensive maneuver and shouldn’t be considered symptomatic of a mental disorder. Reacting to such Ofitickpa, the authors of previous versions of the DSM had defined PAPD narrowly: in DSM-III (1980), they’d said PAPD shouldn’t be diagnosed in the presence of any other disorder (you can see how depression might contribute to procrastination or sulkiness, for example). The idea apparently was to curb careless use of the term — though shrinks weren’t likely to say somebody was men tally ill if he was just a PITA, if he had some other psychi atric problem, they’d throw in PAPD too. Sure enough, after DSM-III diagnoses of PAPD declined sharply, to the point that some researchers felt the category should be abolished. Others, however, thought the exclusivity criteri on was unnecessarily limiting and persuaded the editors of DSM-IIl-R to drop it. PAPD diagnoses shot back up. Conclusion: If we define PAPD rigorously, almost nobody has it; if we define it loosely, just about everybody does. Recognizing that the definition as then formulated wasn’t working but uncertain how to fix it, the compilers of DSM-IV (1994) dumped PAPD from the list of offi cial disorders and relegated it to an appendix. The most telling complaint, in my opinion, was that merely being passive-aggressive isn’t a disorder but a behavior — sometimes a perfectly rational behavior, which lets you dodge unpleasant chores while avoiding confrontation. It’s only pathological if it’s a habitual, crippling response reflecting a pervasively pessimistic attitude — people who suffer from PAPD expect disappointment, and gain a sense of control over their lives by bringing it about. Some psychiatrists have suggested that PAPD be merged into a broader category, called negativistic personality disorder. Diagnostic criteria: passive-aggressive plus (a) mad at the world, (b) envious and resentful, (c) feels cheated by life and (d) alternately hostile and clingy. We’ll let the specialists work out the details. For now, though, we lay folk should strive to use the term “pas sive-aggressive” more precisely in everyday life. Say for instance that a coworker cheerfully agrees to refrain from a specified uncool act, then does it anyway. Is*this pas sive-aggressive behavior? No, this is being an asshole. Comforting as it can be to pigeonhole our tormentors with off-the-shelf psychiatric diagnoses, sometimes it’s best just to call a jerk a jerk. CECIL ADAMS

Barnett Beats on Bernie — The new chairman of the Vermont GOP wasted no time last week in making Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders his first target. James Barnett blasted Bernie over the congressman’s new one-hour, weekly talk show on WDEV. (Though, this Monday, O f Bernardo got bumped by the Red Sox-Yankee game.) Barnett calls it Bernie’s “selfpromotional radio program.” He tells Seven Days he’s concerned that Vermont’s only congressman is “playing hooky” instead of attending Monday meetings of the Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations. And he says Republicans should be getting “equal time,” since Sanders is a political candidate. As proof, Barnett points to OF Bernardo’s latest FEC filing. He tells Seven Days it shows the Sanders Campaign is paying wages to daughter Carina Driscoll, as well as spending money on travel and meals. “If he’s not a candidate,” says Battling Barnett, “then why is he paying off family members?” “First [Barnett] started out whining and crying,” replies Sanders’ chief of staff Jeff Weaver. “Now he’s throwing a full-grown temper tantrum.” Federal law is clear, says Weaver. Sanders does not become “a legally qualified candidate” |&gain until he files his petition sig natures with the secretary of state in September 2004. “No matter how much Barnett kicks and screams, the law is the law,” says Chief Weaver, a Franklin County boy with a brand new seven-week-old son. (Congratulations!) Barnett says the G O P’s lawyers are continuing to look into the matter. He describes the legal issue as “murky.” Meanwhile, Progressive Party superstar Anthony Pollina is fill ing the 1-2 p.m. time slot the rest of the week. And he’s featuring a lively lineup of progressive guests, highlighting the issues dear to his heart. Since Pollina’s been a statewide candidate in the last two elections, we asked Barnett if the GOP was just as concerned about Pollina’s apparent self-promotion, too. “It’s less obvious,” replied Chairman Barnett, “but we’re keeping an eye on it.” Asked if he’s hoping Tony the Prog will make it three-in-a-row in 2004, Vermont’s Karl Rove Jr. just chuckled. P.S. The new Bernie show drew notice from none other than the King of Right-Wing Talk Radio — Rush Limbaugh. Rush went after Sanders’ press secretary Joel Barkin for telling the Washington Times, “All radio shows are very right-wing.” Said the Great Conservative Tongue, “No, Mr. Barkin, there are plenty of liberal talk-show hosts, but they don’t create any buzz or pull any audience. I’m quaking in my boots!” Thanks for noticing, Rush.

Circ Update — The recently released “revised environmental assessment” for the proposed Circumferential Highway (revised in order to build the road as quickly as possible) is available to the curious on the Web site of Vermonters for Sensible Trans portation — www.stopthecirc. com. Circ opponents like Friends of the Earth and the Conservation Law Foundation have until June 16 to offer a response. The secret of the week is, there’s a public hearing on the matter Thursday night at 6 p.m. at the Williston Town Hall. DeanWatch 2004 — It was a quiet Memorial Day weekend on the presidential campaign trail. Former Gov. Howard Dean made the rounds in small-town north ern New Hampshire. No word if he left flowers at the tomb of the Old Man of the Mountain, but his traveling companion and aide Kate O'Connor wrote the follow ing travelogue on the Dean “Call to Action” Web site (http://deancaIltoaction.blogspot.com): “We’ve met some interesting people and visited some fun places,” wrote Kate. “The high light was a visit to Polly’s Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, N H . We did n’t stay long enough to eat, but based on the number of people who were there the pancakes must be terrific. We also stopped by the Dairy Bar in Berlin. This time we did get food. I’d highly recom mend a stop there if you’re ever in the area!” Speaking of food, the Dean for America crew is settling into their new space on Farrell Street in South Burlington. Certainly the fast-growing campaign staff des perately needed more room. But many Deanocrat campaign work ers are lamenting the loss of their former home in the heart of beau tiful downtown Burlington. Just as the summer outdoor cafe sea son was beginning, too. Bummer. In fact, the other day we spot ted Deputy Campaign Manager Bob Rogan, a gentleman who in 18 months might be working out of the White House West Wing, grabbing a bite to eat at the Shelburne Road Price Chopper. Mr. Rogan bagged a comfort able and secure job in Rutland at CVPS, Vermont’s largest electric utility, to go to work for the Dean Dream, er, Team. Bob was loading up at the Price Chopper salad bar, the closest food station to Dean HQ. At least he’s eating healthy. In fact, Rogan told Seven Days, he’s thinking about picking up a bicycle, too. Speaking of bicycles, we hate to harp on the driving habits of our favorite presidential hopeful’s quiet and unobtrusive better half, but our criticism will pale com pared to that of the national press once she hits the main stage. Judith Steinberg, M.D., who will be known coast-to-coast as Judy Dean when the bright lights start to blind her, has long been a regular pedaler on the lake-

front bikepath that her hubbie fought to create two decades ago. She and tens of thousands of others. A couple months back, yours truly revealed the real dirt on Judy: T H E G O O D D O C TO R DOESN ’T WEAR A BIKE * HELMET. Oh, vanity of vanities! And guess what? She still doesn’t. We passed Dr. Judy on the bikepath Saturday afternoon after the Burlington Marathon wrapped up. Great day for a ride — not many people out due to the threat of rain. As the next First Lady approached, all we could do was wave our finger dis approvingly. Judy got the mes sage. She passed with a smirk that said, “Quit bugging me, Mr. Smartypants.” Look, we understand. When yours truly became a reborn bicy clist seven years ago, we too shunned the notion of messing up our handsome and virile image with the oversized headgear that makes bicyclists resem ble space aliens. Besides, in the days of our youth nobody wore a bike helmet. (Nobody wore seatbelts, either, because seatbelts didn’t exist. And everybody smoked cigarettes.) But many intelligent and per sistent people got on our case. Phone conversations with politi cal sources near and far would begin with, “So, Peter, got a hel met yet?” It was annoying. Eventually, yours truly got sick and tired of hearing about it. On went the stupid-looking lid. End of story. Almost. Three weeks later, the wheels slid out from beneath us on a thin patch of Perkins Pier ice. The old noggin struck the ground with such force that we thought for a moment we’d spied St. Peter offering us a map to Purgatory or points south. But it wasn’t to be. In one split-second, the bike helmet more than paid for itself. Looking funny sure beats brain-dead, eh? So, Dr. Judy, what’s it gonna take? Like Eleanor Roosevelt, Jacqueline Kennedy, Rosalyn Carter, Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush have been, you are on the verge of becoming America’s leading lady, a role model, whether you like it or not. P.S. Though we haven’t seen him on the bikepath lately, HoHo has ridden the seven-mile strip he spawned many times, often without state police securi ty. And every time we’ve spotted him, he wore a helmet. Sure, Dr. Dean looked a little goofy. But he sure didn’t look stu pid. In fact, he looked positively presidential! Hint, hint. ©

Approaching Zanzibar, w ritten by Tina Howe, directed by Monica CallanHolm, produced by MOXIE Productions. Valley Players Theater, Waitsfield, May 22-24, 7:30 p.m; Hyde Park Opera House, May 29 & 30, 7:30 p.m; Montpelier City Hall, May 31, 7:30 p.m. & June 1, 2 p.m; Thatcher Brook Primary School Gym, Waterbury, June 12-14, 7:30 p.m.

he 1989 play Approaching Zanzibar, by Obie winner Tina Howe, is about a fami ly’s cross-country road trip to visit a dying aunt, and it seems at first to be traveling a familiar path. Indeed, for anyone who spent this past Memorial Day weekend trapped in a car with screaming kids, the opening scene may prove all too familiar. The biting. The bickering. The endless rounds o f Geography and “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” But hang on. Like a journey enriched by unexpected side trips, Howe’s play keeps veering entertainingly off-track. As seen last week at the Valley Players Theater in Waitsfield, the M OXIE Productions staging under the direction of Monica Callan-Holm occasionally loses control of this unruly vehicle, but eventu ally reaches a satisfying conclusion. N ot long after we’re introduced to the road-tripping Blossoms, we discover they’re hardly the generic family unit they appear to be in that first scene. Like characters in several o f Howe’s plays — m ost notably 1982’s Painting Churches — they’re all artists, or at least artists in spir it. Joseph Meade plays Turner, the youngest and a child prodigy on classical guitar. “H e’s been touched by G od!” announces his precocious sister Pony (Callie Fothergill) in typically dram atic fashion; she says she’s 9 b ut seems older. Father Wallace, played by Rob D onaldson, is a composer who teaches at Juilliard, and C harlotte (N oni Stuart),

the mother, makes m useum -worthy weavings as a hobby. T he dying aunt, Olivia Childs (Tish Leahy), is an artist famous for huge, site-specific outdoor installations. Perhaps it’s the production, perhaps it’s the script, but I struggled to buy these characters as denizens of the rarefied worlds o f classical music and contem po rary art. Wallace in particular seems more trailer park than Central Park. And the pace and style from scene to scene seem oddly uneven, ranging from farce to Chekhovian languor. O ne challenge for the actors is that Howe’s script frequently calls for two or three conversations to be happening at once. T he Blossoms handle their counterpoint nicely, but the m om en tum can sag drastically when the entire ensemble isn’t in tune. The pacing is hampered, too, by long, clumping scene changes. Set designer Peter Holm has created a clever structure that morphs from cartoonish yellow car to campsite to sailboat, among other settings, but actors and crew have yet to find a way to affect those transformations with ease. But if the road is sometimes rocky, the characters’ frequent U -turns into looniness are convincing and funny. Like the crazed prophetess the family meets in the Great Smoky M ountains (portrayed hilariously by Morgan Irons), everyone is prone to sudden eruptions and delusional visions. Charlotte (played by Stuart with vibrant comic flair) is a woman whose hot flashes

are so hot she’s prone to stripping off her clothes w ithout realizing it, and^she is so distraught about not being able to bear children that she keeps hearing a lost baby crying. Time is her enemy. Faced with the im m inent death o f her beloved aunt, Charlotte begs for everything to “Slow down!” Her husband’s outbursts are also con nected to lost time. H e’s struggling with a sense o f failure, having written only one really successful piece o f music.

Sixth-grader Callie Fothergill is a natural in the role, and she has darn good comic timing, too. Pony doesn’t w ant to see her aunt — she doesn’t want to be that close to death. No wonder that when the family finally arrives in New Mexico, it’s Pony whom A unt Liw y asks for.

If the road is sometimes rocky, the characters’ frequent U-turns into looniness are convincing and funny. which Donaldson makes at once scary, funny and real. As his son comforts him, their roles seem reversed — the son’s the father, the father’s the son. Later in the play, in a kind o f dream-sequence reprisal o f the hysterical family car ride, the roles are reversed, and the genders, too. The theme o f shifting identities is amplified by some inspired double casting in secondary roles; Irons, Doug Bergstein and especially Stevie Schubart handle their double duty with aplomb. Are the children destined to replay the lives o f their parents? N ot Turner, it seems. He has his m ind on bigger things: “I hear planets moving through space.

T he implicit message — for Pony and for the audience — is that you have to embrace the journey, not w orry about where you’ll wind up. Callan-Holm and company may still have a ways to go sm oothing out all the bumps on this par ticular trip, but the group provides plenty to enjoy along the way.

RANDY M O REY "Bringing Home Indra's Net: Ecology and Community in the Landscape of Vermont," June through October. All readings at 7 p.m. in the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn. $15 minimum donation per event. Info, 985-8686.

enturies before there was an Internet there was Indra’s Net, an image from Buddhist philosophy that portrays the universe as an infinitely wide web o f jewels. Each jewel both reflects and is reflected in all the others. Thus, each jewel contains the entire universe, but is also only a reflection o f the whole. This ancient m etaphor for the illusory nature of life and the interconnectedness o f all things also encap sulates a very m odern principle o f ecology — that every ecosystem is a microcosm o f the entire planet. Starting in June, five authors will take part in a m onthly reading series at Shelburne Farms entitled “Bringing H om e Indra’s Net: Ecology and Com m unity in the Landscape o f Vermont.” The goal o f these readings, its organizers say, is not merely to provide a forum for political debate about environmental issues but to cast a wider net, encompassing the larger cultural and religious themes that permeate nature writing today. “In the case o f each o f these writers,” explains organizer Josh Canning, “their work resonates with a deep sense that the ‘outer’ world o f nature and the ‘inner’ world o f heart and m ind are profoundly identical.”

All the participating writers are familiar names to anyone who enjoys nature writing — four of the five live in Vermont. The series begins June 18 with Bristol writer John Elder, author of Reading the Mountains o f Home and The Frog Run. Elder, who chairs the English D epartm ent at M iddlebury College, will read from his personal essay, “A Dust of Snow: Awakening to Conservation.” As Elder explains, the essay is a reflection on a walk in the woods he took one winter with Vermont tracker Sue Morse. Along the way, Morse stopped the hik ers beside a hemlock tree and shook some snow on them. T hen she read the Robert Frost poem enti tled “Dust o f Snow,” which is itself about a crow that dusts the snow off the branches o f a hemlock. The incident, Elder explains, “serves as an emblem for the way in which surprising experiences in nature refresh our perspective and both disorient and reorient us.” It also helps remind Elder — and all environmentalists, he suggests — not to become trapped in our own narrow concerns and doctri naire thinking. “O ne o f the gifts of nature is that it’s not aligned with our expectations,” he adds. “So again and again we experience things that are in

some way surprising and continually open us to the world and allow our thinking to remain fresh and creative.” 5 , The series continues on July 17 when interna tionally acclaimed author and poet Julia Alvarez reads from her new book of poems due out next year. Alvarez, a native o f the Dominican Republic, settled in Vermont more than 20 years ago. But as she suggests, “‘Language is the only hom eland,’ as Czeslow Milosz once observed, and indeed, English, not the United States, was where I landed and sunk deep roots.” Though Alvarez is not a Buddhist, she has begun exploring this spiritual path at the Vermont Zen Center. As a result, she decided to call her poetry reading, “Being Awake,” after an answer the Buddha once gave a follower when he asked if he was a god, a prophet or a saint. None, the Buddha replied. I a m awake. “I love that phrase,” Alvarez says. “I think that’s what you aim to do as a writer, to be awake and to nudge the sleeping part of all of us, including yourself.” Ideally, she says, all good writing is about awakening ourselves to the things we forget and attuning ourselves to the extraordi-

nary in the ordinary. This is particularly true in nature which, like poetry, does not reveal its secrets all at once. “I’m almost afraid that you’ll write that I’m reading poetry because people won’t come,” Alvarez tells Seven Days, only half-jokingly. “Americans are scared o f poetry. We’re so used to a sound bite that we get right away. But the whole point o f poetry is that it’s like a koan in Buddhism. You’re not supposed to get it right away, the way you get things in a fast-food, fast-read, fast-think culture.” In an August 15 presentation called “Towards Self-Sufficiency,” Bill McKibben will speak about how local economies fit into the larger environmental picture. McKibben, whose writings explore the many cultural and ecological implications o f environmental crises, shies away from the notion that he is a “spiritual” writer. Speaking about the rela tionship between religion and the environ ment, he jokes, “The most useful thing I’ve done is come up with the slogan, ‘W hat would Jesus drive?’” Nevertheless, his envi ronmental writing is often cited for its keen spiritual as well as scientific insights. M cKibben, who gained international acclaim in 1989 with the publication o f The E nd o f Nature, has just released Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age, an exploration o f biogenetic engineering and its dire implications for the hum an spirit. In it, he argues that by unchaining ourselves from the limitations o f our DNA, we may unwit tingly destroy the very essence o f what makes us hum an. “If you genetically alter your child and the programming works, then you have turned your child into an autom aton to one degree or another,” McKibben writes. “If ‘W ho am I?’ is the quintessential m odern question, you will have guaranteed that your children will never be able to fashion a work able answer.” September’s featured author, Terry Tem pest W illiam s, is the only one o f the

five writers who does not live in Vermont. Though Williams usually writes about the rugged and austere desert landscapes o f her native Utah, she is by no means a stranger to the Green M ountain State. Williams has been a frequent speaker at M iddlebury College and taught at the Bread Loaf School o f English in Ripton. Last year, she was the keynote speak er at the 25th anniversary of the Vermont Land Trust. Williams is perhaps best known for such books as Refuge, A n Unspoken Hunger and Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert, all of which deftly bridge the gap between the poetic and the political. As an outspoken environmental activist, Williams has been at the forefront o f the struggle to save the American West from exploitation and over development. “It could be said that the envi ronmental movement in the past has been a political movement. I believe it is becoming a spiritual one,” Williams said in a recent inter view at New Mexico State University. “Native peoples have always known this. It is my hope that my own people within the M orm on culture will remember what our own roots are to the American West and the responsibility that comes with setdem ent.” Williams’ reading, “A Celebration o f Native Peace” takes place on September 12. T he final speaker in the series is S tep h an ie Kaza, a professor of environmen tal studies at the University o f Vermont. Kaza says her talk will divert somewhat from the program’s earlier themes in that most nature writers focus on their relationship with a spe cific place or animal. Kaza’s reading is entitled “Love or Harm? Eating as Relationship,” and will explore the various ethical question^ raised by what we put in our mouths. Her talk is based on a departmental seminar she organized last semester on the ethics o f food, and will touch upon various themes she is including in a new book about consumerism and Buddhism. As an expert in the emerging field of religion ecology, Kaza has spent a lot o f time exploring the ethical implications o f American’s excessive and wasteful eating habits. A longtime Buddhist, Kaza admits that even within her chosen faith there is

ambiguity about the ethical imperative, “Do no harm .” “How do you have a relationship with the food you are eating that does the least harm? There really aren’t set rules,” Kaza says. “Sometimes being self-righteous and having a bunch o f rules about ‘I’m a vegan and won’t touch a drop o f honey,’ makes you kind o f cold and sterile.” Simply choosing to be a vegetarian isn’t enough, she suggests, if your food is industri ally produced, exploitative o f hum an labor, harms the environm ent and so forth. “I’m interested in exploring the ambiguities and complexities o f these questions with the idea that your eating then becomes a very relationally rich experience, as opposed to just a gasoline tank fill-up,” Kaza says. As for its connection to the larger theme o f Indra’s Net, she notes, “It’s all about the nature of the nature we put in our m ouths.” T he reading series is a fundraiser for the O rion Society and the Vermont Zen Center — two organizations that, in their own ways, are dedicated to reconnecting the hum an spirit with the natural world. Based in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the nonprofit O rion Society operates a publishing house, a network o f environmental grassroots organi zations and an institute for training educators and com m unity activists. Its bim onthly mag azine, Orion, publishes many o f the nation’s most influential nature writers, including sev eral o f the writers participating in the Ver m ont reading series. T he Zen Center was founded in 1988 by Sensei Sunyana G raef as a spiritual retreat for the practice o f Zen Buddhism. Over the years it has expanded its membership and involve m ent in the com m unity to include work shops, ceremonies, classes and public service like a program that works with prison inmates. M oney raised from the lecture series goes toward its $1.9 million expansion plan which, among other things, will make its facilities accessible to people with disabilities. Asked if the new center will include an image o f Indra’s Net, Graef laughed and said, “If you want to see a picture o f Indra’s Net, look in the mirror. There it is.’’ 0

True West? asy, pardner. T h at’s the first thing I think whenever I see a new book that has any thing to do with M ontana written by somebody who doesn’t live here, as I do. The Lewis and Clark Expedition has something to do with M ontana, more than tangentially. But it still piques my sense o f M ontana chauvinism when some Eastern dude, in the original sense of the word, comes cantering up with his shiny new spurs a-jinglin’ and janglin’ and announces he aims to write a book about it. Defensible or not, I have my persnick ety opinions as to who may and may not write about M ontana, and rare is the book that can charm me as quickly as did The True Account. Quickly, though not immediate ly. T he character o f Private True Teague Kinneson, who springs to life virtually fully formed less than 15 pages into the novel, at first seems a little too perfect. A little too eccentric-Yankee-uncle perfect, to be pre cise — which is exactly what the private is to his nephew, Ticonderoga, the admiring acolyte charged with both keeping an eye on the private and penning this fanciful account o f the race, led by his uncle, to the Pacific across the Louisiana Purchase. Private True Teague Kinneson has what the soldiers of Erich Maria Remarque’s A ll Quiet on the Western Front referred to as a "shooting license" — a head injury that absolves him o f responsibility for his actions. He received a sharp blow to the head shortly after the battle for his nephew’s namesake fort on Lake Champlain during the Revolution, and ever since he’s been a couple tampings short o f a musket load. True Teague Kinneson is a combination o f holy fool, mad inventor and deranged demagogue who takes vigorous intellectual issue with everything from Hamiltonian Federalism to Linnaean taxonomy. He wears a codpiece (incorrectly), a stocking cap with bell attached (so he always knows where he is), and a copper dome to hold his noggin together. H e’s also an early pothead, but instead of sitting around staring at backlit woodcuts, True prefers to spend his T H C time m ounting classical voyages o f discovery in miniature in his backyard. All in all, he’s a more suitable candidate for tilting at windmills than manfully divesting virgin territory. That, however, is the last o f the reservations I harbored before finding myself dragged along on the private’s transcontinental quest as imagined in Mosher’s novel-length shaggydog tale. A M ontana picaresque with a Yankee crackpot reprising the role o f D on Quixote? W hy not? W hen the nrivate eoes missin? from his

Vermont home, Ticonderoga tracks him to Boston, where he is mustering a cast of street urchins for one o f his beloved illu mination plays — in this case, the spirited defense o f Bunker Hill reenacted with snowballs. Ticonderoga learns that his uncle’s fugue is actually a self-styled fundraising tour to raise a stake for a "sec ond” transcontinental voyage of discovery — the "first" having been one o f the pri vate’s many backyard odysseys with his nephew. T heir quest eventually leads them to M onticello, where a bemused Thom as Jefferson informs them that an expedi tion has already been organized with two now-famous captains named as its lead

A Montana picaresque with a Yankee crackpot reprising the role of Don Quixote? Why not? ers. Kinneson is disappointed but typical ly undaunted. Ticonderoga’s plan, sug gested by Jefferson, to lead his uncle back to Vermont while pretending to strike out westward, quickly goes awry. Uncle True m ight be a fool, but he’s no dummy. So off they go, westward ho, sometimes neck-and-neck with Lewis and Clark and more than once saving the Corps of Discovery’s bacon from hostile Sioux and a roving Spanish "force of terror," among other undocum ented threats. Along the way, they also meet up with an assortment of stalwart native chieftains and comely maidens as well as real historical characters such as Daniel Boone and John Ledyard, nearly, but never quite, managing to get themselves written into the official annals of frontier history. Until now, that is. Close readers of Mosher’s novel who also happen to be M ontana history buffs will notice a num ber o f incidents transposed from life. The story o f John Colter, for example, who outraced a party o f several hundred Blackfeet warriors barefoot and ran stark naked across six miles o f cactus-stippled prairie, appears not once but twice in The True Account. My history-majoritis flared up a couple times at anachronisms both historical and linguistic. Mosher does a pretty good job of sustaining a period voice in his narra tive, but slips up here and there — though rarely for longer than it took me to jot a note in ;he margin. It’s hard to stay mad at a book as guileless as its addle-pated hero, True Teague Kinneson. If and when Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven gets around to making The True Account into a movie, however, there surely will be a role forT antoo Cardinal. (7)

Assuring us that he was very impressed by the chart and by the drawings I had made on it of some bison and Indians, he asked if I would make a sketch of my uncle, which he would be honored to hang in his study next to Peale's portrait of himself. I was happy to oblige. As the private posed in his heroic gear, he reiterated his desire to lead the expedition to the Pacific.

After a moment's reflection, he said, "Do you think that if I were to furnish you and your uncle with two mounts suitable for this great adventure that he believes lies ahead, and you gently trended north with him, persuading him at the same time that you were headed west — there is a somewhat similar ruse in his beloved Don Quixote — that you might get him safely home to Vermont?" In fact, I did not think any such thing. But all I could say in response to this most handsome offer was, "It is possible." "Well, let us try and see what happens," the President said. He returned to my uncle and informed him that while the official expedition commanded by Captain Lewis would get under way very soon, he would not stand in our way if we wished to strike out on our own, and that he hoped the private would permit him to outfit us for our own epic journey, wherever it led. He then conducted us to some stone stables behind his house, where he presented me with a tall bay stallion named Bucephalus, after that fabled steed of Alexander's, and my uncle with a deaf white mule called Rosinante in honor of the Knight of La Mancha's mount. With which the private was much delighted, though he immediately rechristened the mule Ethan Allen. The President also provided us with saddles and two twenty-dollar gold pieces; and, shaking hands very warmly, wished us the best of luck in Louisiana. m m

MATTHEW TH O R SEN

am 7000 feet above Lake Champlain, swooning over the velvety green pas tures o f Shelburne Farms below, when a voice on my headset sends me crashing back to reality. “Your tu rn ,” says instructor Tom W hite, nodding at my yoke. Why, oh, why wasn’t I listening when we were on the ground and he explained how to steer? Just as I’m reaching a tentative hand forward, W hite lets go o f his own yoke. Suddenly, I’m in control o f a Cessna 172, with two lives at stake — and absolutely no idea how to fly. “Pull down, and the nose goes up,” W hite reminds me. “Left and right move us left and right.” Simple enough. The yoke, as it turns out, is forgiving. My shaky movements are rewarded with the slightest o f turns toward the Green M ountains and then the Adirondacks. I’m flying! I’m really flying! It’s only when we’re headed toward the heav ens that I begin to worry: The altime ter reads 10,000 feet and climbing. “OK, maybe you should take over,” I say, and move my hands back onto my lap, where they stay.

I've never b e e n a h u g e fa n o f flying. My m other used to bring an old Heilman’s jar o f vodka and tonic water to ease her nerves on long flights, and my own carry-on has cer tainly seen a flask or two filled with Sm irnoff (with tonic free from the flight attendant). But there’s an entirely different world o f flying out there, one w ithout cocktail carts, peanuts or even other passengers. And, as I discover during a day o f les sons at South Burlington’s Heritage Flight, it’s a whole lot more fun. Aviation education has been, if you’ll pardon the pun, an up-anddown business. According to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Assoctr r iationdAOPA), private licenses a re ., ,

But with summer around the corner, there’s been a renewed interest in hitting the friendly skies. And Vermont just might be the friendliest place for learning to take wing. W hile nearly every airport in the state features some sort o f flying les sons, Heritage “is the most prom i nent,” according to Tom W hite. It also sits kitty-corner to Burlington International Airport, which means students can become familiar with control-tower operations and learn to

ship program funded by the Exper imental Aircraft Association helps stu dents pursue a career in commercial aviation. W hile Heritage does provide com mercial licenses, the bulk of its sum mer lessons, which are typically split between ground instruction and air time, are geared toward solo licenses (requiring 10 to 20 hours of flying) and private licenses (55 hours). You can actually solo an aircraft at 16 — the same age required for a Vermont driver’s license. Most of Heritage’s students are about 25 to 55 years old, with plenty o f weekend warriors and vacationers who’d rather go back to school than

only tug-of-war I have going on is between me and my seatbelt. I remain blissfully unaware that anything but hocus-pocus is going to whisk us around the sunny skies. W hite plugs in our headsets, starts up the prop and begins to maneuver the plane with pedals connected to the rudders. He gives our aircraft code — 6555 Juliet — to the airport and we begin to make our way toward the runway, where we’ll take off into the wind. We’re blessed with minimal wind, so after a final check, the takeoff is so smooth I don’t even notice we’ve left the ground. Then all of a sudden the land opens up below us, a dizzying sight. T he movement seems so natural

Classes are $35 an hour; throw in the plane rental — $54 for the two-seater Cessna 152 or $74 for the four-seater 172 — and you’ve still got yourself a pretty good deal. Total cost for a solo license: about $500 to $1500. Private licenses require a $4500 to $6000 investment. If you have a few bucks to throw around, consider this: A Cessna 152 goes for about $35,000, less than the cost o f a Suburban — and you don’t have to buy a D V D player to keep the kids entertained on long trips. T he costs do add up, o f course, when you consider fuel ($3 per gallon) and maintenance. For bargain-hunters, right now is a particularly auspicious time to begin flying, as Heritage has a special $49 introductory flight-lesson promotion. It’s sponsored by a program called “Be a Pilot,” whose name pretty much explains its mission. A nd a scholar

W hite has already conducted th e 10-to-15 m inute pre-flight check by the time I arrive, so I climb right in the Cessna. Like a driver s-ed car, it’s outfitted with twin yokes and pedals. If this were a real lesson, he would have explained by now the concepts of flying. As the AO PA brochure puts it, “An airplane in flight is the center o f a continuous tug-of-war between four forces: lift, gravity, thrust and drag.” Huh?

Shopping malls and con crete corporate blocks give way to a patchwork o f farms at their spring best, electric in color. New housing developments appear, with dum p trucks pushing dirt around, and half-finished roofs. “You can see all the little suburbs popping up,” says W hite. He then calls in to the control tower, which is tracking us by radar, for permission to make a left turn. As we fly toward Camel’s H um p, fields are replaced by trees, the tops o f some still bare of leaves. O n the summit, we look for hikers who have to trudge six hours to glimpse a smidgen o f the view we’re now enjoying.

L I T T L E W IN G S Vermont's Aviation Career Education (ACE) camps are a far cry from ordinary summer camps. Instead of arts and crafts, there are aircraft to inspect, fly, even help build. Instead of writing letters home, campers find out how their missives get there, with presentations by FedEx. And instead of getting homesick, the kids get, well, just plain sick. "We fly sometimes in C-130s — big cargo planes, the workhorses of the military — with no_windows, which can make you feel pretty sick," says camp director and Vermont Aviation Education Coordinator Ron Shadroy. "I once had a kid lying on the ground afterward, with ice packs on his head, and when he was finally coherent, he said to me, 'Ron, I want to go again!"' Every summer, Shadroy holds two ACE day camps, one in Rutland (July 7 through 11 this year) and the other, with Sonja Burbank, in Burlington (August 4 through 8) for kids 10-13 interested in careers in aviation. The days, which typically run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. are packed with flying les sons in a Cessna 182 — "It's got plenty of zip," says Shadroy — demonstra tions from the National Weather Service, the airport police, the Vermont National Guard and tours of F-16 jets and maintenance hangars. From learn- • ing fire department operations and how the Jaws of Life operate to the highpressure atmosphere of the control tower, campers get a, ahem, crash course in the aviation industry. Many of them go on to ACE camp level two in New Hampshire before studying at an aeronautical university such as EmbryRiddle. Says Shadroy, "It all starts here." This summer, a few of the many highlights include a possible flight on a Black Hawk helicopter, demos of night-vision goggles, and glider rides in Rutland and Morrisville. On "Rocket Day," kids get to build their own rockets and shoot them off uhder police supervision. "This year, %e've cfot bigger rockets and bigger engines," says Shadroy. And lest campers fret that they might lose their lunch, at least it will be a good one: Instead of brown-bag ging it, kids are treated to barbecues, grub from Rutland restaurants or Burlington International Airport's One Flight Up. Actual airtime depends on the weather, but "Everybody gets a chance to fly a few times," says Shadroy. "Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not." Tuition is $200, and applications — which require a handwritten para graph on why you want to attend an ACE camp — are due by May 30, though Shadroy might bend the rules for last-minute entries.

with a cool mix o f professionalism, years o f practice and continued awe at what lies beneath. A native o f Montpelier, W hite, now 24, began taking lessons when he was 12. “Ever since I was a little kid, I’d look up at the sky and follow the airplanes,” he says, still obviously sm it ten. He began serious training when he was 17, then studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida and Arizona, with additional lessons in Hawaii. After flying over palm trees, desert, ocean and volcanic peaks, he returned to Vermont. “It’s an incredible place to fly,” he says. “Just the diversity that you can get in a short flight is topnotch.” Indeed, the variety o f views we experi ence today is enough to lure anyone back from the tropics. From Cam el’s H um p we hop over to M ad River Glen, scribbled w ith unkem pt, bushy trails, and Sugarbush, where the last o f the spring snow clings to the upper regions o f the ski runs. Heading west, we spot small pools o f water in the pockets between peaks, where moose are known to congregate. As we dip lower, our shadow transforms from a blurry blip to a perfect, T-shaped silhouette o f wings and tail.

W hen we’re out o f the mountains, we realize we’re near M iddlebury College, my alma mater, and do a quick buzz of the campus. It seems to have doubled in size since I left, with more new construc tion underway. ?, ' Next it’s over to Lake Champlain, where I take my turn at the wheel and then pull out my camera for a few pho tos. We’re flying so smoothly that I for get we’re moving at 100 miles an hour. I’m reminded when I open the window for a clearer shot: My little C anon Elph nearly rips out o f my hand. Whoa! W indow safely shut, we find my house — hey, are those my carpenters out for a smoke break? — and begin our descent over Burlington. T he city looks like a scene from a model-train set, with ant-like pedestrians dotting Church Street. For a m om ent this northern Vermont May day is captured in a per fect snapshot. Forty-eight hours later, I’m running along the bike path when I hear the slight groan o f an engine overhead. Looking up, I spot the T o f a Cessna, out on a scrubbed-clean, bright blue and green m orning. Hey, that could be me, I think. Exactly. “Once we get someone up in the air,” W hite says o f his students, “it’s hook, line and sinker.” ®

Baseball Hall o f Famer Robin Roberts won 286 games pitch ing for Philadelphia, Baltimore, H ouston and Chicago. But his 19-year career started on a m ound in Montpelier. From 1940 tb 1952, Vermont's Capital City hosted a pre-profes sional college league that attracted major-league scouts from all over the country. Over th en ex t five decades, the ballpark at M ontpelier Recreation Field deteriorated. It was a diam ond in the rough when a group of citizens toolc it upon themselves to spruce it up for the Verm ont M ountaineers — the newest addition to the 10-year-old New England College Baseball League. W ith funds secured from a com bination o f loans and spon sorship dollars, "We put in all new lights, 53-foot dugouts — two o f those — and there's a new press box up in the top o f the grandstand," says Brian Gallagher, jgeneral manager and vice president o f the team. "W hen we turned on the T lights last week, it was like Field o f Dreams." Cheered by their furry woodchuck mascot, the M oun taineers will play 22 home games in June and July. "W ere not trying to cut into the Expos’ business," Gallagher says o f Burlington's bigger baseball option. "We just w ant to offer something locally that is a good place for families to come out." H e compares the com petition quality to the Cape Cod League, noting "about 40 percent o f these guys go pro." Roberts is living proof. He's com ing up from Florida for four days in July to be honored by his swinging successors.

Pow. Wow. Singly, those two words suggest a comic book. But together they are nearly iconic. More than a concert, a hootenanny or a festival, a pow-wow conjures up images o f an exotic, primal celebration o f cul ture unlike any other in N orth America. T hat must be why the feathIntertribal N ative A m erican Pow-Wow attract increasingly large audiences each year — from 3200 four years ago to 5500 last year. After all, “Native American” has a connotation that “Colonial American” simply does not.

The former is an exhibit by 80-some area artists of paintings, watercolors, sculpture, photography and woodcarvings. The latter serves up samples of fine cuisine from about 25 local restaurants. All this takes place in the ski town’s Jackson Arena on August 23 and 24. “We get well over 2000 people,” explains Mickey Myers, executive director o f Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center, which has been sponsoring the dual activity for 16 years. “Some visi tors schedule their vacations around this event.” The juried artists compete for prizes in various categories and will, o f course, also be selling their wares. Some o f them, such as painters Lisa Beach and Rebecca Cuming, are nation ally acclaimed but return annually for this show. “There’s a lot o f loyalty and a real camaraderie,” Myers suggests. As for the food, “tastes” go for between 50 cents and a dol lar each — usually a generous portion, according to Myers. But think lunch: A Taste o f Stowe serves only from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Otherwise, doors open at 10 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $3.50.

Ask Eloise Beil, curator at the Lake Cham plain M aritim e M useum , what her favorite lecture is for this year’s summer series and she can’t tell you — she’s “rocking in her socks” about all o f them. But she does let slip that “The Captain Was a Lady” will come as something o f a revelation to audiences. In 1890, at the age o f 42, Philomene Daniels o f Vergennes became the first woman in the world to be ' licensed as a steamboat pilot. More than a century later, great-granddaughter Jane Vincent puts on Daniels’ shoes — or a decent facsimile thereof — to tell Philomene’s story. “W hen she steps into character, it’s quite wonderful,” says Beil. “Philomene was ladylike — she dressed in proper attire -— but she was also sufficiently assertive to control rowdy passengers.” Vincent’s performance is just one in a series o f quirky, deeply researched talks throughout the summer in Burlington and Vergennes. “The Captain” coincides with the museum’s annual Kids’ M aritime Music Festival, which this year will feature a full day o f lake-inspired crafts as well as performances by the likes o f musicians Jon Gailmor, Pete and Karen Sutherland and The Swing Peepers, and Native American storyteller Joseph Bruchac.

Now in its 38th year, the top-drawer instrumental consortium spends five weeks every summer playing pairs of repeat concerts at the University o f Vermont and various venues in the Northeast Kingdom. Scores o f high-quality classical series grace the Green M ountains each year. This one, it should be noted, is particularly for people who want to listen to music — rather than, say, enjoy a pretty view with musical accompaniment. The Players’ selections are as challeng ing as their travel schedules. W hile their mix does include the requisite Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Haydn and Brahms, programs generally eschew easy listening for more esoteric fare, showcasing works by contemporary classical composers — who are sometimes available in tefSon for post-concert conversation. To build listeners, the Crafts bury schedule features free chil dren’s mini-concerts where aspiring fiddlers and keyboardists can learn about the compositions and instruments and listen to excerpts from the pieces their parents will hear in full that same evening. These mini-concerts are effective: Craftsbury natives Frances Rowell, who plays cello, and her violist sister M ary began as child-audience members and graduated to full-fledged Players. W hen they’re not in Vermont, M ary Rowell and fellow Player D orothy Lawson make up half the edgy New York string quartet Ethel. W ith a repertoire that includes works by John Zorn and a sound that’s been compared to jazz saxman Ben W ebster’s, they’re more downtown avant rock than Ivory Tower chamber. They liven up the Craftsbury Cham ber Players’ season with a special free concert on the Craftsbury Com m ons green. T h at’s where the Sterling College-based Craftsbury Cham ber Players got their start — before they outgrew the bandstand and started hitting the road.

The N ortheast K ingdom Music Festival, debuting this August in tiny Albany, Vermont, takes the cake for consciousness-raising. But instead of illicit substances, NEKM F offers community. Explains festival organizer Ed DuFresne, “I’d always dreamed about pulling a music festival together to be inclu sive o f many diverse aspects, like com m unity involvement, a conscious-party atmosphere that retained its family-friendliness, a nature-based site, grassroots alternative entertainm ent as well as high-quality musical offerings.” Sounds good to us. DuFresne already has a rep for delivering good goods, with his Town Hall & Grange music series in the non-club venues of rural Vermont, and for his one-day event in East Calais, the Knollwood Meadow Music Festival (July 12). From there it wasn’t such a scary leap to planning a two-day fest — although organizing 21 bands, puppeteers, circus acts, poetry slams, body-paintings, arts demonstrations and other sideshows, never m ind selling 2000 tickets, is not for the faint of heart. Soulive, The Head hunters, T he Meditations and The Slip are among the headliners; the lineup also includes local faves such as Feon Tubbs and Vorcza.

Calling the acts “(Jivejfc^.T dynamic and danceablejv DuFresne has a thing for bands that are roots-basrid and have “a lot of musical integrity.” NEKMF overlaps in spir it with other Vermont insti tutions such as the Ben & Jerry’s Festival (which this year moves to Woodstock, New York), Bread & Puppet and Solarfest. As such, the S O U LIV E (above) A D D IS O N G R O O V E P R O J E C T (below ) Albany event puts another Green Mountain site on the musical map. “We are living in some pretty dark and foreboding times, and our increasingly homogenized media and culture seems bent on dampening people’s sense of power, creativity and joy in coming together,” declares DuFresne. “Ultimately, it’s the people who attend who make the vibe happen, and hopefully the event brings the same type of crowd that has made former ‘edified presents’ events such positive, inspiring happenings.” The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival is August 1 & 2 at the Chilly Ranch, Barton Road, in Albany. Tickets are $60 for both days, including parking and camping. No dogs, no glass. Details and directions, visit www.nekmf.com.

08. float cuisine Folks in Michigan and New York laughed when Senator Patrick Leahy snagged — and then lost — the title o f “Great” for Lake Champlain. W ith or w ithout the official designation, the big body o f water on Vermont’s western border is an awfully pretty place to spend a summer day or evening. Especially the Fourth of July. For those o f us whose only boats are in our bathtubs, one o f the easiest ways to get out on the water is to take a cruise. The three-deck, 500-passenger S p ir it o f E th an A lle n III offers nar rated shoreline tours and dinner-dance cruises with the comfort of a restaurant afloat. For a rowdier lake experience, the Lake Champlain Transportation (LCT) ferry periodically turns into a party boat where singles can mingle or Christian alt-rockers can walk on water with Sixpence N one the Richer. This year, Lake Cham plain Cruises launches an elegant addi tion to the Queen City fleet. The Albany-based Scarano Brothers spent the winter building N o rth ern L ig h ts — the first large cruise boat built specifically for this lake since the Ticonderoga was launched in 1906. It’s probably not a coincidence that the 115-foot vessel looks like a steamboat w ithout the sidewheel. Inside, old-fashioned light fixtures and detailed woodwork complete the historic effect. The setting’s also relatively intimate: 150 passengers. “This boat is very classy and almost silent as it runs, almost like a presidential yacht,” boasts Rick Norcross, “Director o f Fun” for Lake Cham plain Cruises. “It’s wicked cool.” The boat pushes back from the King Street dock three times daily, with a special $35 Supper Club Cruise every Thursday. The series opens June 26 with Shauna A ntoniuc’s rom antic jazz vocals, accompanied by a “lobster clambake” catered by Shanty on the Shore. V,. G etting a jum p on the season, the Vermont Lodging and Restaurant Association takes Northern Lights out for a $ 125 “celebrity chef” soiree June 19. T he only downside: W ith items on the m enu like Pauline’s chef David H oene’s “filet o f grass-fed beef with ancho ado bo, white corn grits, roasted fresh figs, Boucher Farms Green M ountain blue cheese and locally grown haricots verts,” you may not remember to look up and enjoy the view.

EALTH C A RE

For thespians, the ritual exodus to U n a d illa T h e a te r in East Calais is as much a part o f summer in Vermont as creemees and Fourth of July fireworks. So it came as a shock last spring when co-directors Bill Blachly and Ann O ’Brien announced the rural rep house was taking a year off. After 19 consecu tive seasons, 79-year-old Blachly thought he needed a rest from producing plays in his own back yard, a spectacular 268-acr^|^tting that includes fields o f sunflowers and grazing livestock. As if on cue, the indefatigable entrepreneur prom ptly had a tractor accident. Blachly says of the sea son, “It runs you ragged to do the dum b thing, but not doing it wasn’t much fun, either.” Certainly not for theater fans looking for eclectic, ambitious art in the middle o f nowhere. N ot too many Vermont theater companies would think to pair Gilbert and Sullivan’s Yeomen o f the Guard with Uncle Vanya, both o f which are on the schedule this summer. Blachly decided to direct the Chekhov play after seeing Vanessa Redgrave in The Cherry Orchard at the Royal National Theater in London. “I thought, ‘O h, that’s the way it’s supposed to be done,’” he recalls. Unadilla also pairs art with rural adventure. Dozens o f critics have commented on the long, dirtroad ride to the Blachly complex, which includes a barn converted into a funky theater with a metal roof. Thunderstorm s just add to the drama.

Unadilla Summer Schedule July 1-26: Yeomen o f the Guard. Gilbert & Sullivan's most inventive and musically complex operetta involves a sol dier sentenced to die on a false charge of sorcery.

10. fiddle heads “More fun than you can imagine” is how festival organizer Steven Palmer describes the A lb u rg B lu e g ra ss F e s tiv a l August 9. This year marks the second o f what he’s determ ined will be an annual event. Palmer’s original motivation was to raise funds for making his land available to local farmers free of charge. This year the festival will also benefit the Alburg fire departm ent and a downtown revital ization project. If bluegrass philanthropy isn’t enough to pluck your strings, how about a fiddling contest with $3000 in prizes available? The com petition is open to players o f all ages and abilities — last year the youngest was 8, the oldest nearly 80. “You see everything from beginners to professionals,” says Palmer. “Some o f these people are amazing; they’ve been fiddling for over 50 years.” Then there are the concerts by three regional bluegrass bands — T he Gibson Brothers, The Lincoln Gap Bluegrass Band and The Big Spike Bluegrass Band. It’s well worth it to spend the night — especially since camping’s free — as many o f the fiddlers and bands “really cut loose,” according to Palmer, by the light o f a roaring bonfire. Bring your own instrum ents — from banjos to washboards, everything has a place in the evening jam. “Last year we had one guy playing spoons,” Palmer recalls. “It was great.” The Alburg Bluegrass Festival is on Route 2, one half-mile north o f the village. The fiddling contest starts at 10 a.m. on August 9. Expect band concerts and barbecue in the afternoon and a jam session at night. Tickets aje $12 jji advance, $15^*$ the gate. Coolers are allowed, but no glass cofftafflers. Info, call 482-8110.

11. going all out Some o f Vermont’s best summer events are those you create for yourself by getting outside and interact ing with the state’s natural features — on foot, bike or boat. Plenty of organizations, both for- and notfor-profit, exist to help you find your way around, to put you in the company o f like-minded com pan ions, or simply to get you going. There’s something about signing up for a hike in advance that makes it harder to blow off. Th e G reen M o u n ta in Club sponsors hikes and other active, alfresco activities year-round, up and down the state. O n May 31 alone, G M C members will lead, among other things, a hike to Silver Lake and the Falls of Lana in Addison County, an easy walk in Smuggler’s N otch to view peregrine falcon nests, and a difficult eight-mile trek to the Chin of M t. Mansfield. If you'd rather march to your own beat, check out the latest edition of the G M C ’s Long Trail Guide. To witness the state from the Winooski River, rent a kayak or a canoe from Umiak Outfitters any Saturday or Sunday, July through August, at the Ethan Allen Homestead in Burlington’s Intervale. Thirty-five bucks buys you basic instructions, three to four hours’ use of a boat and someone to pick you up at the other end. In the Northeast Kingdom, the V erm o n t A d ve n tu re Com pany leads two-hour weekday evening kayaking trips on Orleans County’s lakes and ponds. Pay $13 to rent equipm ent or bring your own and paddle along for free. For those who prefer peddling — and can invest the time and the money — several companies steer two-wheeled trips around the state. B ik e V erm o n t leads inn-to-inn tours. The $960, six-day itinerary from the Shoreham Inn to the Waybury Inn in East M iddlebury to Brandon’s Lilac Inn covers about 30 miles a day, with stops for shopping, sightseeing and sampling O tter Creek Ale. An additional $300 gets you the use of a bike. The Green Mountain Club's monthly schedules can be found online at http://greenmnt.calendarhost.com/ cgi-bin/calweb/calweb.cgi, or call 244-7037.

12. down in the valley T he V erm o n t F e s tiv a l o f th e A rts has an almost generic-sounding name, but the event, now in its sixth year, is so inclusive it could hardly be called anything else. O ne o f the loveliest spots in the state, the Mad River Valley plays host to this m other of all festivals. Merely listing its ingredients does not describe its richness. “W ith more than 100 artsrelated events and activities, the Vermont Festival of the Arts is designed to entertain the soul, enlighten the m ind and energize the spirit,” claims Festival Coordinator Dan Eckstein. “T he 17-day event is unique for its breadth; it covers theater to cinema to music to dance to art shows, open studio and gallery tours, street fairs, children’s events, hands-on work shops and demos, and culinary events.” Eckstein notes that he has packaged mini festivals within the bigger one. For example, there are clas sical music concerts from Vermont Mozart, the Riverrun Cham ber Players (“world-class musicians back for their sixth year”), and emerging pianists from the Adamant Music School. Theater lovers could take in Twelfth Night, courtesy o f the New England Shakespeare Festival, or The Robber Bridegroom, pro duced by the Skinner Barn Theater Company, Hedda Takes or W ild Hair from the Valley’s own Phantom Theater, or stand-up comedy with California comic Adam Gropman. An ongoing picnic series features Vermont talent such as M ark LeGrand & His Lovesick Band and the A nthony Santor Trio. A nd anyone bum m ed about the Ben & Jerry’s Festival leaving town should mark the August 14-17 Summerstage on their calendars: a four-day music fest on the slopes of Sugarbush featuring Robert Cray, Joan Armatrading, Anjelique Kidjo and many other national and local stars. This year the Festival will have a focal point — a tent on M ain Street in Waitsfield — which will feature a different visual artist each day. Though performers come from all over for the festival, Eckstein suggests, “W hat makes it special is it really highlights the artists in our community. This is a very homegrown festival, emanating from the talent w ithin.” The Vermont Festival of the Arts is August 1-17 in the Mad River Valley. Many events are free. For other costs, times and complete schedule, visit www.vermontartfest.com, or call 496-3872.

he earliest portrayal of a musician appears in a French cave painting that dates from about 15,000 B.C. It shows a human fig ure with something resembling a bow with extra strings. Harpists say it s defi nitely a harp. Either way, the painting is evidence that printmaker Roy Newtons jazz portraits have a long legacy. Newton has been the artist-in-resi dence at Burlington’s Red Onion Cafe for 10 years. For the last six, the Britishborn printmaker, who now resides in Grand Isle, has exhibited his portraits of jazz musicians there in conjunction with the Discover Jazz Festival. In fact, this annual exhibit, entitled “Cookin’ at the O nion,” should be considered a visualart staple of the festival. Newton’s print making performance makes its own kind of music, and he’s as skilled in his medi um as any of the jazz headliners at the Flynn are masters of theirs. The Onion show comprises 27 monoprints, linoblock prints and linoblock monoprints. Newton’s por traits often reveal something about the music or personality of his subjects. “Thelonious Monk” shows the eccentric stiffness of the great but unpredictable pianist’s performance posture. Captain Beefheart said about him: “I saw Monk once at a theater in San Fernando Valley. They gave him a grand piano, a really beautiful Steinway, with a cut-glass bowl

of roses. He came in late wearing a trench coat. He dumped the bowl in the piano, knocked down the lid, and hit one note. The sound: everything going into the piano, the strings, the water splashing, the roses. And then he left.” Newton’s Monk is a simpler image — a black-on-white linoprint. The musician, in coat and stocking cap, is encircled with choppy cut marks, and there’s a singular light source in the right-hand corner. In “The Three Faces of Rahsaad Roland Kirk,” Newton combines mono printing and linoblock. The blind multi instrumentalist is shown playing the sax, and the replicated views of him are frontal and partial profiles at left and right. Kirk looks holy, bathed in broad swaths of yellow-gold in the background of each print. The saxes are a lighter hue of yellow and appear to glisten in his hands. W ith his instrument curved like an elephant’s trunk, Kirk looks as solids as the three-headed pachyderm Erawan often seen in Southeast Asian art. Erawan was the m ount of Indra, the god of war, thunder and storms. Kirk spent several years playing with bassist Charlie Mingus, whose personali ty could be compared to that of Indra. Mingus was a volatile perfectionist as a bandleader, notorious for berating lesser players on stage. Newton’s “Charles

Mingus” is a black linoprint, with small marks in the background that seem to imitate the l6th-note runs enunciated in one of his bass lines. “Miles Davis, the Early Years” has a halo of straight, sharp lines emanating from the trumpeter. In that piece Newton is again indicating the nature of the sound being produced as well as defining the musician’s physical features. Like the Cro-Magnon hunters of old, Toots Thielemans plays the harp — except his harp has no strings and is bet ter known as a harmonica. It’s great that Newton has included in his show a por trait of the Belgian-born Thielemans, whom Quincy Jones once declared “one of the greatest musicians of our time.” The affable, versatile Thielemans played with Charlie Parker and appeared on “Sesame Street.” Newton’s Thielemans is a black-lined, tricolor linoblock print. The background is a smooth, pale orange, and the great harmonica player wears a complementary-colored blue beret and loose-fitting, striped shirt. A prehistoric flute was found at a Neanderthal site in 1995, confirming that music is a deeply ingrained human impulse predating known visual art. But that flute has only four holes — enough to play the beginning of “Smoke on the Water,” but not much jazz. There are no flutes in Newton’s show. ®

A WHEEL DEAL You've heard of a bookmobile, even a bloodmobile. But an Art-o-mobile? Yup. Art's Alive now has wheels. Not that they're going to bring the art to your neighborhood. You'll have to come to the Church Street Marketplace during the month of June, where the 17th annual festival of fine arts will be most visible. As always the shop windows will serve as tempo rary mini galleries, featuring works by nearly 50 Vermont artists. And parked somewhere on the Marketplace you'll find a highly unusual 1992 Chevy Astro, donated to the Good News Garage and prepped and primed by Autobahn. The van will be a focal point for AA-led art walks throughout the month. Local artists Michael Smith and Ron Hernandez may still be in the throes of muralizing the vehicle if you get there early enough on opening day, May 31. Perhaps it will inspire you to sign up for the chalk-pastel sidewalk-drawing . competition. Oh, and don't forget to check out the juried show at Union Station and the Griswold Sculpture Park in Williston, up through June and October, respectively.

ong before you buy your ticket to the new Jim Carrey film, you’ve already been doomed to disappointm ent. Several parties play a role in this. Interestingly, Jim Carrey isn’t one o f them. Let’s see if you can guess who the party most to blame might be: In Bruce Almighty, the comic actor plays a T V reporter in Buffalo, New York, who wishes he were an anchor instead. He’s a whiny, bitter guy prone to blaming G od for the problems and letdowns in his life. In response to one such outcry, G od appears in the refined, white-suited form o f M organ Freeman and says, essentially, think you can do my job better? Go ahead, give it a try. Suddenly im bued with heavenly power, Carrey turns into a naughty lit tle devil, using his om nipotence to lift skirts, balloon his girlfriend’s bosom and train his dog to use the toilet. Rather than, say, to end world hunger or bring peace to the planet. O h, none o f this is news to you? O f course not. Universal’s T V ads and trailers gave away every plot point o f consequence and showed you virtually every hum orous m om ent in the film.

you in order to create the impression the movie is jam-packed with them. If Hollywood had existed when he was writing The Divine Comedy, Dante surely would’ve reserved a circle in Hell for the marketing execs that keep doing this to the public. T he picture’s directed by Tom Shadyac. He deserves a sizable share of the blame for failing to maximize the fun as well. H e’s the guy who gave us such memorable Jim-a-thons as the first Ace Ventura and Liar, Liar, yet he’s also responsible for exercises in sap like Patch Adams. If there’s one thing the movie ads and trailers don’t tell you, it’s the fact that Bruce Almighty stops being a comedy about halfway through and turns into a treacly ser m on about responsibility and free will, with lots o f somber insights borrowed from I t’s a Wonderful Life. Hey, if I want to waste my time watching a big star in a failed attem pt at being Capra-esque, I’ll rent the Nicolas Cage flop, The Family Man. T hat isn’t why people go to Jim Carrey films. T hat’s why people don’t go to Jim Carrey films, as the failure o f The Majestic should have made clear. The actor does what he does best here, though.

hinged reminds us how singular a presence Carrey really is. It isn’t his fault the script — by, among others, Steve Oedekerk (director of the second Ace Ventura) — can’t keep up with him. N or can he be blamed that, hav ing witnessed the awesome power of his physical comedy so many times, we’re a little less awed by it now. Or, once again, that the studio used his best moments to get us in the door, leaving only lesser ones as our reward for showing up. In the end, Bruce Almighty isn’t a bad film, just one badly in need of rewrites. For a picture that turns the creative power o f the universe over to comedy’s most unrestrained creative force, the payoff is surprisingly earthbound. Jennifer Aniston is squandered as a generic girlfriend. T he central character directs his God-given powers toward the most m undane o f causes — office politics. T he loosest cannon on Earth winds up with the whole world in his hands and, with every reason to expect comic results o f cosmic proportions, the audience is instead spoon-fed cookie: cutter hom i lies and life lessons. It’ll be a miracle if the movie isn’t a hit, but my guess is that, upon seeing it, only the very rare viewer will give thanks. ©

RISQUE BUSINESS With drunken downs, "hula-hoop gyrations" and a trapeze striptease, the New York Citybased B in d le stiff Family Cirkus is not your average three-ring roundup. Throw in some aerial rope contortions, sword swallow ing and a "Homeland Security song and dance routine," and you're starting to get the tw isted picture. '"H igh Heels and Red Noses' is a play on the classic slapstick, funny-man act th a t appeared before the burlesque show," explains the bullw hip brandishing, fire-eating Ringmistress Philomena. "The humor is a comic fo il for a ll the sexuality and sensuousness."

BINDLESTIFF FAMILY CIRKUS Friday, May 30. Higher Ground, Winooski, 9 p.m. $10 ($8 if wearing clown makeup). 18+ Info, 654-8888.

A ll submissions are due in w ritin g on the Thursday before publication. Be sure to include the follow ing in your email or fax: name o f event, brief description, specific location, tim e, cost and contact phone number. SEVEN DAYS edits for space and style.

An unmistakable odor wafts through the parking lot of the Sheraton as a very skinny man wearing tights and a crisp "Vermont City Marathon" T-shirt runs laps around the assorted minivans and sedans, many with out-ofstate plates. That aroma could only be kettle corn — "A-Maize-ing" kettle corn, this kind's called — and it's one of 55 exhibitors at the 2003 Vermont Sports & Fitness Exposition. While the smell of buttered popcorn might not inspire running 26.2 miles, there's plenty inside the conference area to satisfy the marathoner long after Sunday's race. After picking up their bib numbers and T-shirts, runners and other sport enthusiasts amble by booths for Unicel, paintings and "Mara-things" at 50 percent off. One of the

and curious runners barely have time to figure out whether their hamstrings are indeed tight before they are instructed by Robert Dills, fitness consultant for the device, to have a seat. "The hand is better, but this is deeper and quicker," he says as he pulls out a two-foot wand of giant, bead-like "cells" that spin around a central tube as Dills rolls it along the muscle. More folks begin to mosey'over and one stops to help pitch the product: "I swear by my Stick, I ju st love it." After the calves and quadriceps, Dill moves onto massaging the back, and a tester gives a little shiver. "Does that tickle? Did you know that tickle is ju st a form of pain?"

HARMONIOUS CONVERGENCE Long before vocal luminaries like Backstreet Boys and N'Sync became household commodities, "boy bands" generally consisted o f four bucks singing barbershop. The rise o f rock 'n' roll helped drown out the a cappella quartets — g irl groups also made th e ir mark — but the harmonious style is seeing a comeback, especially on college campuses. Here in Vermont, the threedozen-strong Green Mountain Chorus has been consorting weekly for more than five decades, calling all crooners to its annual blowout. This year's "Salute to The Buffalo B ills" — mid-century stand outs made famous by the Broadway h itturned-classic-flick The Music Man — features international champs and Tennessee twentysom ethings Four Voices, a gaggle o f Vermont vets and a couple o f high school quartets.

The Essex Children's Choir has raised the roof at Carnegie Hall, in Denmark and at the Flynn when "A Prairie Home Companion" came to town 10 years ago — not bad for a group that doesn't require try outs. "It's more about developing skills and the language of music, and then learning about traditions and culture, learning how to learn, learning how to think and how to work together," explains longtime director and Essex music teacher Constance Price. "It's learning skills for life through music." Started in the 1980s by a bunch of her inspired students, the inclusive Chittenden County crew — now three dozen strong — is joined this week by a couple of talented alum na for some Bach, Mozart and Pergolisi in addition to American, Dominican and Russian folk songs.

BUM PER-STICKER SHOCK With folk-punk songs, Broadway-style singing, modern dance and plenty of melodrama, Proud Parent o f a Drug-Addicted, Tattooed and Pierced Sexual Deviant is a tough perfor mance to peg. The brainchild of Burlington choreographer and singer-songwriter Rachel Frida Siegel, the skewed revue relates the spirited tale of her out-of-the-ordinary coming-of-age, examining homophobia and conformist pressure with equal parts humor and aplomb. The title, which comes from a bumper sticker she bought for her mom a few years ago, "really sums up a lot of what it's about," Siegel explains. "When I pointout to her that it was all accurate, she did n't think it was as funny anymore." The official debut of the 30-minute performance — which also stars Anne Moore, David Tilley and Joe Paul Slaby — is preceded by music, stand-up comedy and a drag queen. It all comes together to kick off the month-long PrideVermont festivities.

The State will accept objections to its release of funds and the Town of Shelburne and VHCB's certification for a period of fif teen days following the antici pated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer of the State; (b) the State has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regula tions at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Agency; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environ mental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to the Agency of Development and Community Affairs, National Life Building, Sixth Floor, Montpelier, Vermont 05620. Potential objec tors should contact the Agency of Commerce and Community Development to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT An Environmental Review Record (ERR) for the project has been made by the Town of Shelburne and is available for public exam ination and copying at the municipal offices or the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) during normal business hours. Based on this review the Town of Shelburne and VHCB with concurrence by the State have determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-910) (NEPA) is not required. Additional pro ject information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the municipal offices of the Town of Shelburne and VHCB and may be examined or copied weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5 PM.

The Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the fol lowing: A review of the assessment of the potential impact of the pro ject and consultation with state, regional and local government officials. There is no adverse impact on the physical or bio logical surroundings and it will not have a significant impact on the human environment.

Public Comments on Finding Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Town of Shelburne (regarding the use of VCDP funds) at 5420 Shelburne Road, Shelburne, VT 05482 or the Agency (regarding the use of HOME funds) of the State at the address listed at the end of this notice. All comments received by June 12, 2003 will be consid ered by the Town of Shelburne and/or the Agency prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS The Town of Shelburne and VHCB will undertake the project described above with Vermont Community Development Program funds from the Agency and HOME funds from HUD. The Town of Shelburne is certifying to the Agency that the Town and Paul Bohne, I I I in his official capacity as Town Manager and the State is certifying that John Hall, in his official capacity as Commissioner of DHCA consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Agency's approval of the certification sat isfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows that the Town of Shelburne may use the VCDP funds and VHCB may use the HOME Program funds.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Writing in Poetry Flash, critic Andy Brumer reminisces about the creative writing class he took with poet Stan Rice at San Francisco State University. “I remember sitting in class,” he muses, “thinking this teacher is work ing harder at teaching than I am at learning.” Please don’t let a similar lazi ness overcome you, Aries. You’re enter ing a phase when the educational pos sibilities are rich. To take advantage o f them, you’ll have to match the high intensity and fertile imagination o f your teachers. (P.S. Your teachers may be in disguise, not necessarily calling themselves teachers.)

TAURUS (Apr. 20-M ay 20): If you’re a carpenter, this is a perfect astrological moment to get that 115piece titanium-covered drill bit set you’ve had your eyes on. If you’re a potter, it’s prime time to get a state-ofthe-art ceramic saw. If you’re a political activist gearing up for a new directmail campaign against corporate cor ruption, you might consider buying the Utne magazine mailing list. And if you’re none o f the above, Taurus, I suggest you acquire whatever tool will help you rise to the next level o f pro fessionalism in your chosen field.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): W hen the bearded dragon lizard sits upright and cocks its head towards the heavens, Australian Aborigines know that rain will fall the next day. And when massive buds appear on the queen wattle plants, even the youngest members o f the tribe can prophesy with confidence that brushfires will break out soon. I have a different sys tem o f signs, just as reliable, that tells me how to read your moods and trends, Gemini. For instance, last night I dreamed my oldest Gemini friend

ACROSS 1 Yacht spot 7 Label 10 Country singer Hank 14 Hopeless case 19 Mistreated 20 — Simbel 21 “I could — horse!” 22 Madrid museum 23 Start of a remark by Gene Perret 24 Makes one’s mark 25 Fragment 26 High points 27 Ben, to Hoss 28 Sparkle 31 Tend a tot 33 Actress Meyers 34 — gras 36 One of the Waughs 38 Prickly plant 41 Part 2 of remark 46 Managed 47 Burton or Curry 48 Doe in “Bambi” 49 Comic Charlotte 50 “Alley —” 51 Rash 55 Unrestrained 59 Handbag part

told me,'“The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.” Because I have had the very same dream other times over the years, usually late in the month o f May, I have come to understand its predictive meaning: Many Geminis all over the world will soon commit a benevolent “theft.”

CANCER(June 21-July 22): Soon the planet Saturn will enter the sign o f Cancer, where it will remain until July o f 2005. During that time you will have excellent opportunities to become more skilled in finishing what you start. You’ll find it easier to calm your restless heart and commit yourself to a single choice out o f the hundreds o f options that interest you. Say goodbye to mediocre pleasures and misaligned priorities, my fellow Crab! In the next two years, you will attract unexpected help any time you stop fid dling around on the peripheries and head straight to the core o f the matter. Best o f all, you’ll finally figure out beyond a doubt where you truly belong — as opposed to being halfsure o f where you sort ^ b elon g.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve primed to commune much more inti mately with the hidden source o f power that fuels your life. In fact, you’re close to meeting the require ments defined by visionary poet William Blake. He wrote: “Unless the eye catch fire, God will not be seen. Unless the ear catch fire, God will not be heard. Unless the tongue catch fire, God will not be named. Unless the heart catch fire, God will not be loved. Unless the mind catch fire, God will not be known.” Your eye, ear, tongue and heart are on the verge o f igniting, Leo. D o whatever’s necessary to make that happen, and your mind will burst into flame, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): More than seven centuries before a few European men dared to sail beyond the safe boundaries o f their known world, entire Polynesian families crossed vast expanses o f the Pacific Ocean in catamarans. The first humans to arrive in Hawaii, they were led by “wayfinders.” These miracle workers navigated the uncharted seas by reading star positions, discerning weather patterns and interpreting the ocean’s colors and movements. I want to make a connection between you and those pioneering souls, Virgo. In recognition o f the brave, exploratory urges now ripening in you, I hereby give you the honorary title o f “wayfinder.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Good news, Libra: You will continue to be the beneficiary o f expansive cos mic energies. In last week’s horoscope, I compared these gifts to the power o f the spoken Hawaiian language to open the heart and eyes o f those who hear it. This time I propose several Hawaiian names for you to adopt as your own. They’re all in alignment with your evolving destiny. You are hereby authorized to call yourself Kaohinani, which means “gatherer o f beautiful things.” You may also refer to yourself as Makaike, “to see with keen powers o f observation;” or E ’e’e, “to keep climbing over everything, as an active child;” or Wai-puhia, “wind blown water, especially the spray o f a waterfall.” (Thanks to the book Hawaiian Names, English Names, by Eileen Root.)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps dis covered the largely intact body o f a man who died 5000 years ago. H e’d been preserved in a glacier that had

recently begun to melt. Since then, many women have asked to be given some o f the iceman’s frozen sperm so that they might become pregnant by him. (The director o f the museum where his body is kept has so far turned down all requests.) W hile I don’t recommend that you become one more seeker o f this prehistoric insemi nation, Scorpio, I do suggest you pur sue a metaphorically analogous quest in the coming weeks: Try to fertilize yourself through an intimate encounter with the past.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My acquaintance Jerry likes to play his guitar for the spinner dolphins that hang around Maui’s La Perouse Bay. They appreciate it. W hen he runs out o f songs, he often joins them for a convivial swim. One day four months ago, a commotion at sea moved Jerry to interrupt his concert. Paddling out for a closer look, he found a woman swimmer surrounded by the dolphins. The normally friendly creatures had hemmed her in, as if herding her. But when their buddy Jerry showed up, they parted their tight circle to let him through, and he was able to escort the woman back to shore. The two hit it off instantly, began dating and recently got married. W hy am I telling you this, Sagittarius? Because I predict that like Jerry, you’ll soon receive extraordinary, maybe even non-human, help with your love life.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): In 752 AD , the Japanese Empress Koken wrote a lyrical poem in praise o f the eupatorium plant, whose leaves turn a vivid shade o f yel low in summer. Recently, scientists punctured the illusion she was under, demonstrating that the lovely foliage o f the eupatorium is caused by a disease virus. In my view, though, this should

n’t diminish our appreciation o f either the poem or the plant. I’ve noticed that a lot o f the world’s beauty forms in response to a wound. In fact, I expect you’re in the midst o f that very process right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Our planet is running out o f many essential resources, including fresh water and oil. N ow the Weekly World News has reported yet another crucial shortage: the global supply o f supermodels. “The original generation o f supermodels is fading,” the paper says, “and very few new ones are com ing along to replace them. Soon the supermodel as we know it may become extinct.” Can anything be done to avert this catastrophe-in-the-making? I’m not sure. But I do know that many o f you Aquarians are exceptionally attractive right now, and likely to become even more so in the coming months. Might you therefore consider launching a career as a supermodel? At the very least, I suggest you look for ways to use your growing beauty to help save the world.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A century ago, the Hawaiian sugarcane industry required a ton o f water to produce a pound o f sugar. Since then, improvements in irrigation techniques have drastically reduced the excess. The ratio o f water to sugar is now 1:1. In a similar development, it used to take me about 2000 words o f exploratory free-writing to arrive at a single 120word horoscope. These days I typically have to churn out no more than 400 words in the process o f distilling your weekly oracle. In yet another related development, Pisces, I predict you’ll soon make a comparable move towards less waste and greater efficiency in your own area o f expertise.

Dear Lola, My boyfriend "Fred" and I are both divorced, with children, and when we first met he was still involved — unhappily — with "Wilma." We agreed not to begin dating until he had decisively broken things off with her. Then, when Fred informed me that he had ended the other relationship, our romance quickly took off. We have been an "item" for over a month now, and Fred still hasn't introduced me to his 10year-old daughter, "Pebbles." Fred has told Pebbles that Wilma is effectively out of his life, but doesn't want her to interpret his quick shift over to me as meaning that it's okay for her, when the time comes, to act promiscuously. Pebbles spends a significant amount of time with Fred, and keeping me under wraps is putting a cramp on the time he's able to spend with me. Is there a proper interval one should wait before introducing a 10-year-old to one's new lover? Left Out in Lincoln Dear Left Out, A few weeks should be plenty long enough. Fred's hesitancy to make your relationship "official" by introducing you to Pebbles may mean he's not sure it will last. Time to sit him down and figure out where things stand — and don't let him use Pebbles as a smokescreen. Love, Lola
