auncil on AmencanIslamic"! s objected Nike athletic shoes that use a logo resembling the word “Allah” in Arabic script. The emblem was meant to look like the word “air” written in flames for a new line of shoes, according to spokesperson Vizhier Corpuz, who said Nike had caught the problem before the shoes went into production and changed the emblem. The Islamic councils executive director, Nihad Awad, insisted the offending emblem was at stores across the country and suggested Nike investigate to see if “there are peopie at the company who wai*t;j to insult Muslims.”

• Reebok conceded it made a mistake naming a new womens running shoe “Incubus,” which is the name of a mythical demon that descended on sleeping women and had sex with them.

Explaining the shoe had been on the market for about a year but that Reebok had just learned of the name s meaning from ABCTV, spokesperson Dave Fogelson said the company had no plans to recall the shoes but was looking into solutions, noting, “It could be as simple as taking a Magic Marker and blacking out the name.”

DO THE R IG H T T H IN G | “My message to the Legislature is simple,” | said the Gov the other day. “Make good on all | the promise to reform our schools. Put polit ics I aside. Do the fair thing. Do the right thing.’ * Bravo! ” Unfortunately that was not our governor, l the Honorable Howard D ean III. Nope. T hat | was the Republican governor o f Illinois, Jim 1 Eds ar- You see, the Land o f Lincoln is up to its ears in reforming the way public education is financed, too. And Gov. Edgar has the misguid­ ed notion that tapping the state income tax is 11 the fairest way to go. Ability to pay He wants 1 to bump that income tax 25 percent in order to | cut property taxes. Crazy world, isn’t it? | In our little piece of it — Vermont — our | Democratic governor hasn’t gone as far as « Illinois’ Republican governor in putting a plan Jf on the table with his name attached. Instead, H o-H o uses the bully pulpit to play bully and 1 fire off the veto threats. No tapping the income | tax and no letting Vermonters buy Powerball | tickets in Vermont. It appears to be working.

There’s little sign that the House and Senate g negotiators sitting around the poker table want * to mess with Ho-Ho. Outside the building 1 Howard Dean III enjoys broad jj public support and acclamation. | Never mind how he’s viewed | inside the building. Landslides | count in politics.

The House-Senate confer1 ence committee looks like it’ll i turn into an exercise in patty| cake. After all, as House Democratic leader Paul Cillo | says, “We want something g real... not a train wreck.” * M aking W hoopi? — Boy, oh, ® boy did The Burlington Free 1 Press do a num ber on UVM J graduation speaker W hoopi | Goldberg, or what? O f course | the local daily waited until she left town before trashing her as ^ unqualified to address the grad8 uates of groovy UV. I mean, | what’s a black woman without I academic credentials doing on | stage at Vermont’s tower of | learning? The Freeps noted ^ other Vermont schools had ^ much higher standards when it I came to choosing a graduation speaker. St. | Mike’s had Lt. Col. M artha Rainville, who’s | claim to fame is that she and her troops won a I low-level Statehouse election that crowned her « the first adjutant general in the National Guard J to wear a skirt. Wow! And then there was R obert Schad, the C EO 1 o f Husky Inc., who was deemed by the Freeps | an excellent choice to address the grads at | Vermont Technical College. The guy’s contribu| tion to society? He founded a company that g makes the machines that make plastic soda bot* ties. T he planet has been saved. Hip, hip, I hooray!

1 But W hoopi Goldberg, an actress/comedi| enne — an entertainer — is deemed unw orthy I by G annett’s local money machine to address I the graduates o f our ivory tower o f higher edu* cation.

8 Yo! Chill out.

1 Rolling the Dice — T he fate o f Billy Greer, j Stephen H utchins and their three co-defen­ dants is in the hands o f the jury today.

Politics finally entered the courtroom with I the final witness called by the defense. Bob M elamede has a Ph.D. in microbiology and is a mm mm mm mm mm *

«

cancer/genetics researcher at UVM. He’s also a*"l pot smoker — proud o f it — and an ardent | supporter o f Billy the Kid. W hen prosecutor David Kirby got to cross- J examine him, the sparks flew. The scientist admitted his partisanship in the case. Yes, he had previously called Kirby “Darth Vader,” and, yes, he had compared the DEA to Nazi guards 1 at the death camps. Then the former congres- 1 sional candidate o f Vermont’s Grassroots Party | let Kirby know personally that he thought it a g bit hypocritical “for a person like you who’s told ® me you’ve used marijuana.” Kaboom!

“Don’t you start,” snarled Kirby as he strode I toward the witness. “Objection,” cried the cho- | rus o f defense lawyers as Judge W illiam K. Sessions III ordered Melamede’s remark about g the prosecutor’s alleged pot-smoking stricken » from the record. He told the jury to disregard ® it. Then, with the jury gone, Sessions gave the 1 scientist a tongue-lashing. “Your editorializing is § just outrageous,” barked Sessions. He threatj ened to hold him in contem pt if he made another similar remark from the witness box. « But Melamede held his ground. “I was just * trying to do the best I could in being honest,” I he told Sessions.

1 The Gong Show meets The Bong Show!

Later, outside the court­ room, Melamede said he based g his charge on a brief conversa- *“ tion he had with Kirby at Mirabelle’s, a Burlington restau- I rant. He said he asked Kirby, a j babyboomer like the defen­ dants, “C ’mon, you mean to tell g me you never smoked pot?”

And Kirby replied, accord- ® ing to Melamede, “I had my hippie days, too.” Far out, man. § How will “Pass the Bong” g Bob play with the jury? Surely | there must be a few tokers on « the panel. In fact, the jury is something the defense feels ■ ■ ■ pretty good about. After all, I ^ [ they had the top jury consultant g I in the country helping them choose the panel. Cathy Bennett Associates out of Dallas is the same outfit that 1 helped get W illiam Kennedy 1 Smith off on a rape charge a couple years back. g The defense wrapped up quickly. They’re not denying the charge they ® did deal drugs — a lot o f drugs — but they say § the statute o f limitations ran out. As for the big i Canadian bust, they’re hoping the jury buys the | argument that they did the crime in Canada g and already did time for it in Canada. And rather than the Greer-Hutchins enterprise being one all-encompassing conspiracy, as the govern- ® m ent says, it really was several separate, unrelat- 1 ed conspiracies.

And as it turned out, DEA Agent Rick C arter was not called to testify. Sure, the defense could have played up the angle that he » had a personal feud going with Billy the Kid. ® But the government on cross-examination would have honed in on the fact that the reason § he was tailing Greer for so long was because Greer was a drug dealer and Carter worked for g the DEA. T hat’s his job, for chrissakes. He’s supposed to catch drug dealers. And he did.

But the biggest break for the defense was ^ provided by the prosecutor. Mr. Kirby’s ram1 bling, awkward, wet-noodle summation before g the jury Tuesday was the best thing the defense g heard in 10 weeks. W hoopi Goldberg would have been more convincing. ®

T H EM A N W H OL O V E D W O M E N -R E A L L Y isten up, folks, I ’m only going to say this once. I like women. Has everybody got that? I like women a lot. I like women so m uch that I’ve devoted half my life and my pro­ fessional reputation to writing books about their lives.

I like women the way they w ant to be liked, or so I’m told — as hum an beings, fully evolved persons, not sex objects or scullery maids or secretaries. I like women who aren’t afraid to say what they think. And if you don’t believe me, you can ask my mother. And if you don’t believe my mother, you can ask her twin sister, my Aunt Claire>“And she’s worse than the other one!” as we say in my family. Between the two o f them, I’ve been brought up to like, admire and respect the female sex. If I hadn’t, I would never have been allowed to live. I’d have been left to die on a hillside or something.

So it’s absolutely not true to say that I “hate women” or that I “don’t take them seriously,” or that I “put them down” in my column, as some o f you have unkindly suggested. Just because I’ve said a few nasty things about women in the past — A ll men were messy, you know, laughing at lesbians and trashing Demi Moore and wondering just how stupid a no m atter w hat woman has to be in order to pay hard-earned money for The Rules — it*does n’t follow their age, a n d none that I’m prejudiced against the whole sex. Because I’m cer­ o f them were tainly not.

If I’ve been critical of women, its because I still have allowed to pee in some hope for women, where­ as I don’t have any for men.

/ \ survivor o I sexual assau it lias her say Bv Pamela P o l s t o n ami Calevro still doesn’t remember being raped one cold night last year. The vicious, random attack near down­ town Burlington left her with a fractured skull — a trauma result­ ing in memory loss and sensory impairment to this day. W hat Calevro does remember is every­ thing else since she “woke up” after the assault. She can tell you the date and details o f every hearing, every emotional nosedive, every victory — including the sentencing o f her assailant, Craig Yandow, to 20-38 years in prison earlier this month.

Through it all — “long periods o f waiting with occasional freakouts,” is how she describes it — Calevro played the faceless victim: unnamed in the media, even absent in court prior to her deposition in the state’s case against Yandow. The anonymity was especially excruciat­ ing in contrast to the glare of national publicity when Arthur and Geneva Yandow spent 41 days in jail for refusing to testify against their son — they were released Jr': when he was arrested May 8, 1996.

Burlington Detective Tim Charland, the lead investigator in Calevro’s case, says her assault was the worst he’d seen in nine years on the force. And Calevro’s memory loss — although common with head injuries — is unusual for rape victims, who typically harbor vivid impressions of their attack, and attacker, the rest o f their lives. The other significant difference in this case: Kami Calevro has chosen not to stay faceless. She revealed her identity to news reporters for the first time last March when 26-yearold Craig Yandow changed his plea to guilty.

Now she’s ready to share the rest of the story — about the crime

K

and its physical and emotional aftermath, the seemingly torpid machinations o f the legal system and its final dramatic outcome, the family and com m unity support so critical to her recovery. Three weeks after her assailant met his future in a prison cell, Calevro is facing hers — in public.

“From my point o f view, all I saw for months was Yandow, Yandow, Yandow,” Calevro says.

Now that it’s all over, she wants to remind her community, ‘There were two people in this case.’” t’s been a long 15 months since Valentine’s night, 1996, when the 23-year-old Burlington woman was found — half naked in

less person and she was going to call a shelter,” says Calevro. “But when she approached me she real­ ized... I can’t imagine finding any­ one in that state.”

Pictures o f Calevro following the attack were gruesome enough to make her wince when they were shown in Vermont District C ourt this m onth. Yandow had smashed her head repeatedly against the frozen ground, and there were other abrasions over her body. But when she’d first examined herself in the hospital, it was “the ultimate denial,” she says. “W hile I was checking out my bruises and show­ ing my friends... I couldn’t believe I’d been raped. So from day one, it was an intro into the ‘nameless,

— Kami Calevro sub-freezing temperatures — on N orth Champlain Street. A nearby resident had let her dog out for a last-call jaunt around 10:30 p.m.

W hen she heard the dog barking she went out to investigate, and found her pet sitting on the feet of the motionless woman. “At first, I think, she thought I was a home-

faceless victim.’

W hen a family friend told her he’d read all about the attack and didn’t realize it was her, it sank in that, “for the rest o f the com m uni­ ty, the victim is barely there.”

W hen she read the news accounts later, Calevro says, she couldn’t C o n tin u ed on page 2 2

TOOTLES What’s this? Richard “the Clarinet Man” Haupt playing at Java Love, indoors? And for a bon voyage gig? New Orleans-bound? S’up? Is our own street-styled Benny Goodman tired of waiting for summer and trying his luck in the Big Easy? Well, sort of. Java owner Paul Behrman reports that Haupt has been a regular for some time at his North Winooski caffeinated haven — after his stints playing on Church Street or his job at the Food Shelf. “It has been Richard’s longtime dream to go down to New Orleans and be a street musi­ cian,” says Behrman, adding that Haupt and his

friend Gordon Gaynon, a self-styled evangelist on Adelphia Cable Channel 15, are moving there together. The plan is to return to Burlington for part of the summers, starting next year. “He’s such a happy-go-lucky, wacky character,” Behrman says.

“We’re gonna miss him.” So will we all — with the possible exception of certain Marketplace mer­ chants. If you want to wish the Church Street icon good-bye, catch his farewell concert and party at the Love this Saturday. Bon ton, Richard — you are one of a kind.

In D K U n /V (self-released cassette) — In lieu of a full CD, Burlington rockers Augusta Brown have opted to put out a limited-edition cassette for the fans at home and on the road. The down side of this choice is the sound quality, but the blan­ keted effect fails to obscure some mighty fierce and tight play­ ing, nor the fact that these guys clearly love what they’re doing.

The eponymous sixsong tape starts off at a run, with the hardbashing “Plastic ; Heart,” and gradually hits its stride with midtempo songs like “As It Were” and “Puppet Show.” August Browns genetic code can be traced to 70s roots-blues-rockers like The Allman Brothers. And, though they don’t sound like them, Bachman Turner Overdrive comes to mind (dozens of others could fill in), I guess for the hoarse-throated macho component. But there’s also a splash of funk h la Rick James, and a sheer joyous­ ness in the capabilities of electric guitar —- both the voice and the guitar in this power trio belong to Peter Goodwin. Bassist Dave Abbott contributes

vocals as well, while Rich Callahan beats the bejeezum out of his drums —- on this recording his steady thwack is the only thing unmuddied. You could imagine them on a H.O.R.D.E. tour or Further Fest type of thing — but Augusta could stand to differentiate themselves even further from the horde, if you know what I mean. Their fuzzedout jammin’ benefits from keeping self-indulgence in check; “Splinters,” for instance, is a funky groove thang with lots of wah and little wank. If we could stand a little more originality, this here’s still a respectable racket, and only hints at what they can pull off live.

Criie drummer Tommy Lee had a few unkind words to say to WIZN music director Mike Luoma last week. Seems a listener had emailed Luoma asking why the station wasn’t playing the new Criie single. Luoma responded it was because, “this single is a piece of shit from a washed-up band who should have just folded after Vince Neil first left.” Listener tried again, Luoma rebuffed again, and listener posted the exchange on the Motley Criie newsgroup. Whereupon Lee emailed the characteristically macho response: “Who the fuck are you? You got the balls to say shit like this, tell me to my face, and I’ll bust your fuckin’ face!!

Fuck you Mike! By the way, it was in all caps. Good thing Lee

Beside info about the Canaan, Vermont, recording studio/label, the upcoming Hardwick music festival, record­ ing Hempsplash ’97 (in New Paltz, NY, June 20-22), etc. Ed offers up a new venture, Northeast Kingdom Creativity, a desktop publishing outfit provid­ ing design for ads, press kits, cas­ sette and CD covers — not to mention Web site design and maintenance. It’s a logical exten­ sion — and probably a welcome diversion up in that neck o’ the woods.

SINGLE TRACKS Speaking of Web sites, Outer Sound in Washington, D.C. (http:// www.outersound.com) has launched Outer Sound University, a virtual educational institution devoted to do-it-yourself musi­ cians. Best of all, no tests... Chin Ho!, riding an airwave of radio popularity in Boston, plays its first headliner at Mama Kin on July 3, a WBCN-sponsored show.

The Burlington altoids also will head up this summer’s Hardwick music festival... ®

SALT LICKS, TRUST YOUR BODY (Mad Entropic Carnival, CD) —- Knowing that singer/songwriter/guitarist Michael Howe played with Will Oldham of Palace — in the short-lived band Box of Chocolates — gives you certain expectations by association. Some of them are met in the Salt Licks, specifically a tendency toward mournfulness and narcotic pacing. But in this collab­ oration with singer/guitarist Aaron Woolf (childhood friend of Trey Anastasio, co-penned a couple Phish songs) Howe relies on his own instincts for intelligent pop. Most of the songs are slow and aebustic guitar-based, but the backwash of a Wurlitzer and sometimes shimmer­ ing chords enhance the intentional melodicism. Trust Your Bodywas recorded by Howe in a New York City apartment in the summer of 1996 (and released on Howes Plainfield-based label,Mad Entropic Carnival) Windows were left open, and the tape doesn’t stop rolling in between songs. Street noises and the musicians* own comments Become part of the flow, and you feel like you’re there, sweating through an indolent but harmonious afternoon.

R THE GURU TheOld Lantern lights up twice this week with rock and route —

Bv Simon Brodv et it straight. Stanley Dural, Jr., better known to the world as Buckwheat Zydeco, is handing out lumps to anyone who calls his music “C ajun.” It’s zydeco— right there in his name — the jum pup, rhythm-heavy, accordion­ centric music native to the Creole or black, French-speak­ ing population o f Louisiana.

N othing Cajun about it.

Another correction: H e’s not from New Orleans, and neither is zydeco. Buck and his name­ sake hail from the small city o f Lafayette and its surrounding swamps, way down in the southwest corner o f Louisiana.

You m ight expect such a stickler for details to deliver a traditional, down-home zydeco recipe, but no sirree. His is a spicy jambalaya o f rock ’n’ roll, soul and r&db, all piled on a solid juke-joint zydeco founda­ tion.

The musical confusion, while resulting in an interesting bouillabaisse o f styles, was the direct result o f a conflict between Buckwheat and his zydeco purist father. Stanley Dural Sr. — a close personal

G

friend o f Clifton Chenier, the man widely considered the “king o f zydeco” — was not so accepting o f his son’s love o f rock ’n’ roll. He even went so far as to lock up Buckwheat’s keyboard in an effort to have him take up the accordion and carry on the zydeco tradition.

Well, Buck wasn’t having

any o f it; he ended up heading Buckwheat & the Hitchhikers, a funk-heavy r& b outfit that lasted through the m id-’70s.

But when that band broke up, Buckwheat consented to sit in with Chenier’s band for a night

UVM Evening University Open House

and ended up recanting his early rejection o f zydeco. His old man had the last laugh: Buckwheat was hooked.

W hen that gig ended several years ago, Buckwheat settled into some deep soul-searching and spent several months locked in his house teaching himself to play the accordion.

W hen he finally came out, his surname was “Zydeco,” and his sound was the wild zydeco/rock crossbreed he’s been perfecting ever since.

O n Buckwheat’s latest recording, Trouble, his trade­

mark brew is a potent potion that could rock any Ic U '

papered honky-tonk in the great Atchafalaya Swamp.

Characterized by uncomplicat­ ed rhythms and big, sticky grooves, Buck frequently treats his accordion like a rock n’ roll keyboard. This isn’t Chenier’s brand o f zydeco; half the fun is picking out references to all the sub-genres o f modern American music that Buckwheat sees fit to throw in.

Although the title hasn’t offi­ cially been passed to Buck from the late Chenier, he is the only zydeco artist with a major label deal — and three Grammy nominations.

Vermonters waiting for summer can catch Buckwheat’s brand o f Louisiana heat at The Old Lantern this Wednesday, and let the “bon toft” rule. atthew Sweet has made a career o f delivering the roughed-up version of pop since his breakthrough in 1991 with Girlfriend. He traces his love o f heartsick love songs back to a day in third grade when he first heard the

M

theme from “M .A.S.H.,” and a fondness for soulful melodies has stayed with him.

Sweet’s most recent release digs a little deeper into his trea­ sure chest o f musical influences.

Blue Sky on Mars unearths his Athens roots with a bit o f that indigenous folk-inflected rock, while hum m ing organs and syrupy vocal melodies sound like his new California home­ town 30 years too late. Let’s just say that M atthew Sweet follows a straight line from The Beach Boys.

A clever mix o f borrowed bits and vintage instruments make up Sweet’s brand o f bigC o n tin u ed on page 2 4 .-n^vO w .i G ;

The fathers o f those Catholic schoolboys were regu­ lars as well. “Men would get their hair cut every two weeks w ithout fail,” Gibeault remem­ bers, “even once a week if they were in business. Saturday mornings, it was so smoky in here you could cut the air with a knife.”

“Now there’s no smoking — and no waiting,” Gibeault noted one recent weekday

mer as a unisex hair salon.

Things will no longer be the same in the little shop with the big picture window. But despite Camile’s seemingly timeless quality, the spinning of that red-and-white pole has marked the passing o f many other things during the last four decades.

The barbering business began to change dramatically — in Burlington as well as in the wider world with the ascent up the pop charts of what Gibeault describes as “those English singers with the long hair.” The popularity of T he Beatles’ moptop, and the untam ed hippie ’do that would follow it, eliminated the need for two barbers at Camile’s.

Gibeault left in 1965 to begin a career as a cable engi­ neer at a Colchester firm.

Dubois carried on as a one-man operation on Ferguson Avenue for the next 28 years, until Roger returned in 1993 to take over from his then-ailing broth­ er. Camile died two years later.

And now Roger is ready to put his boat into the lake and to devote more time to his vol­ unteer activities. He serves on both the local and national boards o f Dismas House, a transitional facility for ex­ inmates. Since 1981, he has also taught a “decisions” course at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility.

“In the past year, I haven’t been able to spend as much

time volunteering as 1 used to,” Gibeault says, explaining that he remarried in 1996 after hav­ ing been a widower for the pre­ vious decade.

For all those reasons, Camile’s is closing, Gibeault says — not because the business is no longer making money.

Although someone from outside the neighborhood might drive past Camile’s with­ out noticing it, the shop has managed to attract new busi­ ness while retaining much o f its old clientele. “I’ve gotten at least four new customers in the last few weeks,” Gibeault says, noting, “There’s a lot o f hous­ ing that’s been going up near Sears and down by the lake.”

Longtime patrons who have

moved out o f Burlington also come from as far away as Grand Isle and H untington. And a few o f the original customers can still be heard trading gossip and memories in French.

“The men who were coming in when I started cutting hair in 1959 have grown old along with the shop,” Gibeault remarks amidst the skilled and steady snip-snip-snip o f his scis­ sors. “They’ve got white hair now — and maybe not much o f it, either.”

A nother noticeable change is the “two or three women” who now have their hair cut at Camile’s. But with the clippings from the Vermont Catholic newspaper taped to a mirror, and with the sign listing prices for a shave ($4) and moustache trim ($1), Camile’s still has an unmistakably male atmosphere — which is exactly how some o f the older customers like it.

Lee Barbour started com­ ing a year or so ago, partly because his regular barber in Winooski contracted Lou Gehrig’s disease. It’s also easier to park on Ferguson Avenue, Barbour adds, m um bling some­ thing too about there not being “any women here.”

T he sixtyish Williston resi­ dent is further motivated to drive to the South End because Camile’s is “a typical old-timey barber shop.” There’s even a bird feeder hanging near the barber pole, Barbour points out.

Bernie Dubois, 35, will pay homage to his father and uncle even as he transforms the shop this summer. He’s going to call his salon The Hairitage. And, he assures, that barber pole will keep on spinning. (?)

By P a u l a R o u t l v i / h hone sm art” takes on a whole new meaning in the ■ company o f collector Carl Lobel. Like many Vermont dealers, he stocks his store with the requisite Victorian-era bed­ room sets and dining room tables. But his real passion is 20th-century pop culture, which he defines to include the Bonanza lunchbox, the manual typewriter and the Princess phone. After a telephony tour o f his barn in Warren, you want to reach out and touch — well, everything.

“I like the look o f them ,” Lobel says o f his collection o f vintage phones, noting old phones are more available, and varied, than some objects because “they were made to last, and they did.” Conse­ quently, he says, “telephones are undervalued relative to other types o f antiques and

collectibles.” Eleven antique wooden phones grace his country kitchen, including a spectacular “vanity” and a wall unit with mouthpiece m ount­ ed on an adjustable swing arm.

But Lobel keeps a second stash o f turn-of-the-century candlestick telephones — free­ standing contraptions o f nick­ el-plated brass that hold out slick black receivers, like a line o f coat-holding butlers. Tracing their evolution using examples in his own collection, Lobel explains how the pot-bellied gave way to fluted, tapered and Roman, until phone fashion finally settled on the sleek, straight shaft.

A stand out is the Strowger, with its history-making dial wheel. According to Lobel, the phone was invented by the director o f a funeral home in Cincinnati who was convinced that his com petitor had made a deal with the phone company to get him a jum p on the dead-body business. Strowger believed that dialing direct would level the playing field.

Although there are plenty o f Strowgers around, this par­ ticular model is highly sought after because it “represents a technological breakthrough,” Lobel says. He might get

$2000 for it. Authentic parts, including the original cord, add value to the sale price o f any vintage telephone.

“I just sold one that plugs in,” Lobel says, leading the way to a collection o f classic cradle phones from the ’30s and ’40s, and carefully selected Princess, D onut, Pancake and Uniphone varieties. The cus­ tomer was a woman whose new-fangled phones could not cope with power surges. Lobel sold her a phone that will not get call waiting, but should keep on cranking in a storm.

Eleanor Haskin may have different motives, but the busi­ ness office o f her company, Waitsfield Telecom, is filled with antique examples of early telephone technology in Vermont.

Haskin has pur-

chased a num ber o f phones from Lobel. She also bought a large num ber from part-tim e Vermonter Norm an Mulvey, whose extensive collection is featured in the guide Tele­ phones: Antique and Modern.

Lobel calls his “one o f the pre­ miere collections in the coun^ » try -( “It wouldn’t be fun to col­ lect something if everybody on the block had the same thing,” Lobel says. But this collector appreciates function as well as form. W hen it comes to his own business, Lobel relies on end-of-the-century Panasonic and a Hewlett-Packard. ®

RAPE C ontinued fro m page 7 place herself there, either.

“I can only imagine what [reading] it was like for anyone else. Society reads about crimes like that and, yes, they are hor­ rified, but they’re mysterious — the sex crimes, the ‘bad’ crimes,” she says. “It’s great that the press gives me anonymity, but what does this mean? Does it mean that I should feel ashamed that it happened? No. W omen’s groups say no, it’s not the vic­ tim’s fault, she didn’t ask for it, blah blah blah. But it felt almost worse for me that the victim wasn’t identified.”

In truth, Calevro could have spoken out at any time.

Any victim o f a crime can choose not to be anonymous — a statement to the daily paper or local television station would surely have been wel­ come; it is news, after all. And contrary to popular belief, this uncharacteristic restraint of

news media is not law; it’s selfimposed. Furthermore, the names o f victims o f all crimes — except murder — are typi­ cally kept out o f the news, adds Therese Surdek, a victim’s

one, to give that person the choice to come forward or not.

And to prevent retribution.

“The last thing we want to do,” says Charland, “is put out the name o f a victim if the per-

advocate at the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations (CUSI) who also works with the state’s attorney’s office.

Clearly there are well-inten­ tioned and justifiable reasons for protecting the identity o f a victim o f violent crime — for

petrator hasn’t been appre­ hended.”

The trauma alone leaves a woman — anyone — ill-pre­ pared to deal with the addi­ tional burden o f inquisitive media. N ot that Calevro didn’t get her offers — national talk

shows, T V movies, even the local daily and television sta­ tions, who promised continued anonymity for her story. She turned them all down, ignor­ ing the insensitive adm onition from one, “This won’t be news forever.”

But even with the advan­ tages o f privacy, facelessness exacts its own peculiar toll. So when Calevro decided to speak, no one who knows her was surprised. State’s Attorney Scot Kline and Surdek both describe her as “an exceptional­ ly strong individual.” Charland concurs: “She’s unbelievable; compared to other victims — I was flabbergasted.”

Charland credits Calevro’s family and friends as well, not­ ing their “overwhelming sup­ port” throughout the ordeal. “I guess when it happens to your daughter it happens to you,” her father Mike puts it. “It wasn’t just this guy did it to her; he did it to all o f us.”

letic endeavors in high school in Barre, Mike Calevro points with pride to Kami’s strength. “I think she’s held up as good as anyone could; she thought what she did would help in this case and help others.”

But if the public officials involved were universally impressed with Calevro, she and her family return the admiration.

“I can’t say enough about the Burlington City Police, the com­ munity, the hospital, the state’s attorney, they were just fantastic, so excellent from start to finish,” lauds Mike Calevro. “I don’t even know how to thank them .”

For her part, Calevro is acutely aware that not all victims o f rape have the same experience in terms o f emotional and legal support — nor the outcome. After all, statis­ tics indicate that in the majority o f cases women know their attack­ er — as with domestic violence and so-called “date rape” — and often do not even report the crime, much less prosecute it. The numbers tell the story: O u t o f 92 reported adult sexual assaults in fiscal year 1996 in Chittenden County, only 52 have so far led to arrests, according to information released by CUSI. f Kami Calevro was initially in denial about being raped, she spent even more time resisting professional help. It was victim’s advocate Therese Surdek who stuck by her throughout — even though the ca^|pfpfially;belonged to the Burlington Police Departm ent, not CUSI. Surdek connected her with Vermont’s vic­ tim compensation program — which awards victims o f violent crime up to $10,000 for their recovery expenses — translated legalese, attended all the hearings, and convinced her reluctant client to see a therapist.

“At first I was, like, whatever, I didn’t feel that I really needed it,” Calevro recalls. “But she found a private therapist through the W om en’s Rape Crisis Center, and kept at it for m onths simply because others told her she should. “I was saying, ‘It doesn’t really bother me, I don’t really care.’” Asked now if this were true, she responds, “I don’t know ... People were giving me all this attention because I got raped?

H ow was I supposed to feel? I didn’t even remember.”

At this point Calevro is seri­ ously considering hypnotism to try to get that m em ory back, but she’s aware o f the risks. “There was a time I thought, ‘I don’t w ant to have this person’s face in my m em ory for the rest o f my life. I’m glad I don’t remember.’

T hen there’s the part o f me that says, ‘If I’m so strong, why don’t I remember?”’

D uring the sentencing this m onth, a Massachusetts psychia­ trist testified that Yandow had told him Calevro “m ust have been pretty inebriated herself — she didn’t fight back.” T he recollec-

With extra cold and rainy days this springy the trails are fragile

By David

ou’ve been so good.

You’ve done the environ­ mentally correct thing and stayed off the trails waiting for them to dry. But now its time to take a hike. Memorial Day has passed and the State of Vermont and the Green M ountain Club have given us the green light to hit the trails, right?

Well, this year it’s actually more like a flashing yellow.

“We hope that people will b03nuisfay off fiiliddy trails a d d give $£ them time to dry out,” says the G M C ’s Karen Sharpwolf, pointing out that there’s no magic to the traditional Memorial Day start to the sea­ son. Weather and conditions, along with good judgm ent, are what ultimately dictate where one can responsibly hike. This year, for instance, four feet o f snow still remain on the sum-

Y

available. You just need to expand your horizons, explore new routes and be aware o f what’s in between the parking lots and m ountain tops.

O ne o f the best ways to branch out is to get your feet wet in nature — not mud.

W ith the help o f a good guide book or a naturalist, a walk in a local state park or wildlife sanc­ tuary can unearth a treasure trove o f information about the plants we tend not to notice when we re focused on just reaching the top. Colchester naturalist Laurie DiCesare, , who has been leading walks around local parks for the past 15 years, knows how to find excitement close to home. “I see the woods as high adven­ ture,” she says o f her low-eleva­ tion walks in places like Colchester Pond.

At this time o f year, DiCesare suggests hikers take advantage of the backyard trails

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. m ito f M t. Mansfield, Sharpwolf notes.

But don’t despair — if you’ve learned anything from living in Vermont, you know that with adversity comes wis­ dom. W hile the trails leading to the fragile alpine zones on old favorites like Cam el’s H um p and M t. Mansfield need more time, great hiking is still

to discover the many trees and wildflowers that are in bloom.

O ne o f her favorites is the jackin-the pulpit, which can be found in rich soils along local wetlands trails like the Intervale or Colchester Bog. These small, greenish flowers have a spathe, or lid-like flap, thac resembles the canopied pulpits o f yester­ year. D on’t tell a fundamental­

ist, but they also change sex depending on the am ount o f energy they receive each growing sea­ son. To see for yourself whether it’s a Jack or a Jill in that pulpit, look under the flap for the small red berries that indicate a female.

Finding a flowering tree in a deciduous forest should also be a goal of any hiker at this time o f year, DiCesare says. After all, now’s the time when * the shad afe running . . ; upstream to spawn in Southern New England.

This, o f course, means the shadbush, or June-berry, are probably in bloom.

Finding broken branches and fresh bear claw marks on the smooth gray trunk of a large shadbush tree once reminded DiCesare that she wasn’t the only one who likes to eat the delicious cherry-like berries.

While the call o f the sum m it provides an inexorable draw to keep hikers moving along a trail, DiCesare suggests that nature walks have the advantage o f allowing you to take the time to feel the leaves and smell the wildflowers.

During leaf-out season, she says, the new leaves are like babies — smooth and soft before turning hard and crusty with time.

“In general, plants are a lot older than people think they are,” says DiCesare, noting that

I f you should come home from your first spring hike limping from blisters, its natures way o f telling you its okay to spend a lit­ tle money on proper footwear. Next to your brain and your under­ wear (synthetics wick even better than silk), your boots are proba­ bly your most im portant piece o f equipment T he first rule o f buying new hiking boots is, don’t hesitate to make the sales folks help you find the pair that fits your foot the best. Some additional rules, notes Robert Serpico at Clim b High in Shelburne, are to shop for boots at the end o f the day when your feet are largest, always make sure the ball o f your foot fits snugly into the widest part o f the shoe and your heel doesn’t slip when you walk, and walk around the store long enough to make sure the boots really fit.

W hile technology is driving the growth o f sports like m ountain biking and in-line skating, it has a thing or two to offer the human-powered pleasure o f hoofing it in the hinterlands, O ne big contribution is the new hydration systems — an idea borrowed from die Camelbak systems developed for m ountain bikers — that allow hikers to take a sip o f water w ithout stopping and dropping their pack. Since water is one o f the body’s main fuels, the conveS eace of back and -pack reservoirs w id ' * ' ’*' actually help hikers stay stronger longer by maini.raining proper still heading out on the trail without a first aid md strike yourself once on the backside. Then buy an all-in-one commercial kit that comes irections. As Serpico puts it, “W ho do you le you care about m ost.” . :■ ■:V:

trillium matures for six years before it begins flowering. In fact, protecting plant life is one o f the best reasons for taking care while hiking. Another is to maintain the “footpath in the wilderness” character o f the Long Trail and its side routes.

“We just ask that if you encounter a really m uddy part o f a trail, you turn back,” says the G M C ’s Sharpwolf.

Nevertheless, the organization realizes that people want to get out and hike — that’s one o f the reasons their own caretakers

:

are already posted at the highuse areas. Sharpwolf says that if people choose to continue on a m uddy trail, it’s always better to walk through the middle to avoid widening it. Better still, she says, seek out trails that aren’t as popular as those on our famous 4000-footers.

O ne nice off-the-beatenpath G M C recommends is the newly developed Babcock Trail in northern Vermont. N ot far from Eden — on Route 118, C o n t i n u e d on p a g e 2 4

Or, if you prefer more meaningful verse — as well as a shorter hike — there’s always the selfguided Robert Frost interpreta­ tive trail off Route 125, which mixes plant names with select­ ed quatrains.

So grab your favorite hik­ ing partner and get out there, but remember the old saying: “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.”

And this year, make sure they’re shallow footprints, to boot. (7)

that is — the Babcock Trail can be followed for about two miles to Devil’s Gulch. This narrow moss-and-fern-filled defile could well come out o f a scene from The Lost World. “A lot of people describe it as ‘pre­ historic looking,’.” says Sharpwolf. O n the other side o f 118, those intent on finding sweeping panoramic views can climb the fire tower after mak­ ing the grade on the steep and challenging Belvidere Mountain.

But until warm, dry weath­ er really kicks in, hikers might consider saving the northern section for later and check out parts of central Vermont for a change of pace. Sharpwolf rec­ ommends exploring the trails near Mt. Moosalamoo from Branbury State Park. Try

But when Calevro looked Yandow in the eye in the court­ room, it was not sympathy she felt. “Yes, I have harsh words for him ,” she says. “T he fact that he left me — he could have walked away with murder.

Obviously that’s a biggie, too, but this person had no regard for hum an life — for my life.”

Certainly her brutal assault was the most horrific incident o f Calevro’s young life, and the long recovery process continues to unfold. W hat surprised her was the relative shock o f win­ n ing— and the public’s lack of reaction. “W hen I woke up in the hospital, I woke up to pre­ way there were bad days and they shouldn’t talk, well, the sents, cards, flowers I couldn’t good days, contingent upon reason we need their testimony smell, the whole thing.

Calevro was found the night o f the assault with dirt under her fingernails, and her assailant had scratch marks; when she was taken to the hos­ pital, she was still clawing at the air. “I need to know,” she says, “that I fought back.”

If the conscious memory returns, Calevro knows it may set her “back to square one.”

O n the other hand, a friend gently suggested, “Kami, are you prepared for the possibility that you’ll never remember?”

Meanwhile, Calevro deals with the physical legacy o f her head injury — dizziness and headaches have subsided some­ what, but her hearing is low, her sense o f smell and taste are severely damaged. She also con­ tends with the more typical symptoms o f a rape victim — similar to post-traum atic stress syndrome — including hyper­ vigilance. She is uncomfortable with people walking or stand­ ing in lines behind her. Worse, she doesn’t know if she’ll ever walk home alone again. “I get very angry that I have to think about it, that I have to be watchful at all times,” Calevro says. “I’ve always prided myself on my freedom.

along the lines o f “ 100 dime-adozen duds for every highpriced box office or critical suc­ cess.” W hat he revealed instead was infinitely more disturbing: He claimed that H B O ’s films are carefully selected by a staff o f trained Evaluators who screen potential programming for quality and all-around desirability. T hat’s right: He m aintained that employees of the company actually see these things and then report back that they’re just what the pub­ lic is hankering for!

My plan this m onth was to track down one o f these dan­ gerous figures and ask penetrat­ ing questions such as, “Hey,

S E V E N DAYS

buddy, are you high or what?” but shadowy forces intervened.

Mysteriously, H enry Gomez had vanished. Well, OK, he had left early for a long Memorial Day weekend. But I got a definite shadowy vibe from the woman I spoke to next from the Media Relations departm ent, when I explained I had a few questions I’d like to ask one o f their Evaluators.

“Evaluators?” she repeated.

“You know,” I persisted, “those highly trained specialists who choose the movies you show.”

“I wouldn’t know who to connect you with. I’ll have to have my boss call you back,” she said, with a trace o f panic in her voice. “His name is Q uintin Schaffer.”

Mysteriously, Q uintin Schaffer never called. I could almost hear the flurry of interoffice com m u­ niques as H B O brass pondered how to deal with the situation. After all, as Henry Gomez had adm it­ ted to me, “Nobody’s ever asked these ques­ tions before.” O n the other hand, maybe Schaffer had plans for the holiday, too.

W hen the phone finally rang, the voice on the other end was laced with suspicion.

“This is Judy Arthur from Media Relations. W hy are you asking these questions? W hat kind o f article are you writing?

Is this about the other cable companies, too, or just H BO ?”

Jesus, I thought; this woman makes Richard Nixon look like a trusting soul. I decided to fib my face off.

Twenty minutes o f tru th ­ bending later, the phone rang again. “This is Judy Arthur. I have Neil Brown, Vice President o f Aquisitions, on the line. He can only speak with you for 10 minutes. He’s leav­ ing for Memorial Day week­ end,” she informed me, “and I’m going to stay on the line while you ask your questions.”

How paranoid can you get?

I thought, but, with the clock ticking,' I pushed ahead. Well, to make a short call even short­ er, let’s just say these two weren’t about to allow the om i­ nous veil o f secrecy to be lifted when it came to the issue o f H B O ’s mysterious Evaluators.

Though he is the m am m oth firm’s Vice President, Brown claimed he couldn’t say how many such film specialists there are to sift through the thou­

sands o f potential purchases each year (“several individuals, certainly not dozens”). He refused to reveal exactly what qualifications such a powerful position would require (“well, they have to be expert in their field”). Neither would he dis­ close what H B O pays for the rights to broadcast a movie (“it varies ).

I did, however, uncover a key piece to the puzzle when I got Brown to spill the beans regarding the num ber o f film acquired each year. Prepare yourself: H B O — which also owns Cinemax — broadcasts 24 hours a day 365 days a year to an audience o f 30 million subscribers. And do you know how many titles it springs for with all those hundreds o f mil­ lions o f dollars pouring in?

“H B O licenses only 900 to 1000 movies a year, 500 o f those being ‘library,’ or older titles, which play mostly on Cinem ax.” T h at’s right. This leaves a meager 400 to 500 pictures a year for H B O viewers. No won­ der they play the same ones over and over so mercilessly — they’re hopeless­ ly underprogrammed.

My head began to spin.

W hile Brown continued to spout the company line (“O ur goal is to present all the movies that are worth playing, to play all the movies subscribers m ight be interested in, yadda, yadda, y ad d a ...”), the im m or­ tal words o f Steve M artin reverberated in my brain. In The Jerk, M artin played a dim witted carnival barker who suddenly realizes how the man­ agement can afford to give away so m any penny nick-nack prizes to the people who pay a quarter to play their rigged games. “I get it,” M artin’s char­ acter exclaims, “It’s a profit deal!”

We may never know for sure just who picks all the bad movies on H B O , but we do know now why they pick so many o f them. Profit.

Unimaginable m ountains of profit, pocketed at the expense o f the American movie lover.

H B O promises a celebration of cinema, but my tireless research indicates that what they really like to celebrate, behind an impenetrable wall o f secrecy, is big, fat, gluttonous bottom lines o f profit.

And, o f course, Memorial Day. □

Art in business offices, lobbies and private rOdences or studios, with occasional exceptions, will not be accepted.

lfred Stieglitz reportedly dreamt in color. During the 1880s, while still a youthful man, he mused that his pho­ tographs needed to be “in black and white for the time being,” but that they could be made “perhaps in color later on.”

Each of the five photogra­ phers in the Fleming’s current exhibition, “Sublime Terrain,” appears to enjoy beguiling the viewer with color. However, once the observer’s eye has been intrigued, each artist divulges a uniquely personal reality. Fervent color, in other words, is not an end in itself.

Plattsburgh photographer Roger Arrandale Williams uses Ektacolor prints in a panoramic format to present fragile deserts and pristine expanses of solitude across America’s natural environ­ ment. His work seems observant of Henry Jackson and others, but Williams describes contemporary intonations of dreamlike color and natural forms in transition.

John Pfahl, also from New York, presents Ektacolor prints and refers to similar 19th-century photographic traditions as well, but his revelation is very differ­ ent. In his works is seen an

“Even though everybody's different an d has-a differ­ ent experience, each [participant in m y groups] has lad a profound loss, so they understand one anoth­ er and are supportive o f one another.”

In Kesters groups, which consist o f six or eight people, participants share stories and memories o f people who died, and talk about their experiences at the time o f death.

For inspiration, brainstorm a list o f the five subjects you’d love to become adept in, the five skills you’d passionately stretch yourself to become proficient at, and the five pearls o f wisdom which, if you ever truly embodied them, would make your entire life a masterpiece.

TAURUS (Apr 20-M ay 20): Columnist Rick Ackerman recently bitched about the economy’s twisted values. Just before the stock o f Donald Trump’s company plummeted, Ackerman reported, the tycoon got a huge raise on his already-inflated salary. In another example, Disney blessed Michael Ovitz with a $60 million severance package to reward him for the crappy job he’d done.

“Something is dreadfully wrong with a system from which such huge rewards can be extracted by people who have produced^ nothing ° t discernible value,” Ackern^^m durned, i agree, but I bet the p e r c e n t^ o f Taurearisguilty o f this sin is disproportionately small. You people are 'or giving great value — and this ill prove that in spa

were beyond your capacity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): W hen I meditate on your week, I’m reminded o f a funny thing that happened to me last Christmas. I’d gone to a New Age ritual in a stately church. As I was grooving on the priestess’ introductory prayers, my friend Carla slipped into the pew next to me. To my horror, she’d brought her terrier puppy with her; it was in one o f those small traveling cages. Midway into the service, Carla left on some unspecified mission, leaving me holding her baby.

Within a minute, the dog popped, and there I was at the epicenter o f an odor that quickly radiated throughout the church, easily dominating the more sacred odor o f the burning incense. What could I do as everyone in the place turned to stare at me? I smiled and beamed love vibes in every direction.

was Virgo quarterback Jim Druckenmiller. The dude’s an indestructible bulldozer. He can benchpress 350 pounds, drag a weighted bobsled that takes eight huskies to pull, and toss 20 sandbags over a high wall in one sitting. So much for the stereotype o f Virgos as finicky, breakable creatures.

Given the current astrological aspects, I’d venture to say that you must be feeling pretty Druckenmiller-esque yourself these days — at least from a psychological perspective. Let me suggest, though, that you resist temptations to indulge in flashy shows o f brawn. Save your soul power for subtle strength-building activities that’ll ensure you won’t regress into a finicky, breakable creature for years to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I don’t know how to break this to you, Libra... but you are God. Don’t worry, it’s only for a couple weeks or ov/. so. That probably won’t _ "vviw v/» xudv piuuduij' wun i long emnigjt enough to turn you. you into a L c O (July 23-Aug* 22): You say you’d be loqg loVe to experiment WitLyvolfing down megalomaniacai cult leader.

flavor’s fascinating, but maybe not something to indulge in regularly. This is not a criticism o f your social skills, Scorpio. You are what you are, and it would be a sin to pretend otherwise. I just wanted to remind you that even though you’re in a phase when forging new alliances will be easier than usual, some o f the interesting people you encounter may not have the stomach for your spicy favors.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Happy Unbirthday, Sagittarius! It’s that iffy but juicy time halfway between your last and next birthdays. Here are some o f the metaphorical presents I’d love to give you (but I can’t possibly give them to every one o f you, so please bestow them on yourself): a portable bridge, a set o f monkey wrenches for opening valves and links that have rusted shut, and a skeleton key for all the locked doors that could lead to exciting shortcuts in the months ahead. O h, and please try to buy yourself an upgrade in your communications technology and an introduction to a VIP who can help you skip a few steps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): N o one who loves silk seems to m i»d that ?s| one o f the world’s most luxurious fabrics comes from the cocoon o f a lowly worm.

In the same way, I think every sane (.verson will respect the state o f grace that emerges from the grubbing and groping you’ll have to do in the next couple

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Speaking on behalf o f all non- Aquarians, I’d like to express our appreciation for the experiments you’ve been performing on yourself. Please don’t be discouraged just because the results thus far have been inconclusive and you feel a trifle overexposed. We feel confident that sooner or later you’ll come up with discoveries that’ll have bottom-line value to us all. W e’d also like to apologize for those shortsighted scaredy-cats among us who’re accusing you o f being foolhardy and irresponsible.

P is c e s

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): O ne o f my earliest memories is o f drawing a diagram o f the solar system with crayons when I was four years old. Even back then I was laying the foundation for a career in astrology. What about you, Pisces? Have you followed through on the passions that erupted so innocendy ohso-long ago? Have you turned a fondness for throwing water balloons, for example, into an adult ability to moisten parched landscapes and psyches? Have you converted a passion for building treehouses into a talent for designing grown-up sanctuaries? If not, don’t spend more than five minutes bemoaning ' reasons why. Instead, get to work n plans to prove that it’s never too lat have a happy childhood!! Q N - ■

Dear Lola, I’m afraid of falling in love with my best friend. He is one oft the best people I have ever known. I am more myself with him than with any­ one else. He is also incredibly attractive; I was entranced from the first time I saw him.

I can talk to my friend about almost any­ thing — but not this. I would never jeopardize our friendship. What's more, my friend is very happily married, and I could never make myself the "other woman." This troubles me more and more. Is it a phase, or what? Please help!

— Worried in Walden Dear Worried.

Listen to logic, you understandably are attracted to him f o r all of his fine qualities, but, undoubtedly, you want him because you can’t have him. you will risk the friendship if you con­ fess. you will become the mistress if he says yes. you’ll lose him and your­ self. Consider taking a break from your friend, y cu ’ll keep everything in the end.

With love,
