NEXT WEEK'S { QUESTION j If you were to have a road, \ bridge, etc. named after you, what would you like it to be?

WHITE NATIONALISTS DEMONIZED Lorrie Smith's letter of May 22 in response to an article about my research at the University of Vermont ["The White Stuff," May 8] is yet another example of the way definitions are used to demonize and suppress expressions of white racial consciousness and commitment. In her first paragraph, Ms. Smith reveals her agenda — which is, I'll do the defining, thank you very much — when she refers to my study of "self-proclaimed 'white nationalists.'" Her meaning is clear: Who are these people to label themselves in such a non-pejorative way?

I get her point, but then again, some of these same self-proclaimed white nationalists might think her announcement that she is a "white ally in the struggle against racism" is itself a self-proclamation. "She can do it and we can't, is that it?" they might ask.

That is exactly it. In her remaining two paragraphs, self-proclaimed "teacher and scholar of race studies and African-American literature" Smith manages to smear the people I have been investigating with every negative association in the standard mud-slinging repertoire (except the KKK, she missed that one): among them racism, white supremacy, neoNazism, slavery, the Holocaust, hatred, moral depravity, and oppression... If you buy her line — and, I must say, many, many people do — you'll accept the double standard that the minority pride and selfdetermination she affirms in her letter [are] good, but the very same thingfs] in white people [are] bad.

ISRAEL MISREPRESENTED I am writing in response to Kevin J. Kelley's article, "Caught in the Middle...East" [May 22]. Several of the viewpoints presented in the article are flawed and misconceived.

For starters, Mr. Kelley himself refers to the land of "Palestine" several times, when in fact, no such place currently exists.

I was deeply disturbed by the views expressed by Robert Green, the so-called "Jew from a very Zionist background." Mr. Green asserts that there should be a suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel.

Such an action would be a virtual death sentence for the State of Israel and perhaps the Jewish people as a whole. As long as innocent civilians are routinely being blown up at pizza parlors and grocery stores, Israel has both an inherent right and a moral obligation to defend her people.

Additionally, I would like to clarify one important point: There is no comparison between the apartheid of South Africa and the Israeli military campaign against terror. Mousa Ishaq's use of the word "apartheid" is not only acerbic and offensive, it is wrong. Israel is a democratic nation

comprised of ethnic and non-ethnic Jews of varying nationalities, colors and ethnic backgrounds. The implication that the Israeli cause is one of racism and subjugation is perhaps the most widely used tactic of veiled anti-Semitism. \ Lastly, Mr. Kelley concludes his article with a quote from Senator Patrick Leahy, who says that, "as long as Israeli settlers continue to occupy Palestinian land, the extremists will win and the bombings and retribution will continue." Let the world remember Camp David, when the Palestinians were offered an uprooting of 100 percent of the settlements in Gaza and 95 percent of the settlements in the West Bank.

Arafat said no and instead opted for a continued war of terror against the Israeli people.

used to tell a joke about a guy who, when caught in the act of cheating by his wife, tells her, "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?" I'd like to think that in matters of race, more and more white people are getting past the Orwellian newspeak that has been coming at them for decades and starting to look hard at reality for themselves.

Inside Track

The fact is, say sources, Racine and Shumlin are anything but chummy these days. Some say Putney Pete is having second thoughts about caving in to Racine last fall and dropping out of the governor's race.

Anyway, back to the bumper stickers.

Recently, a respected Democrat activist and campaign contributor suggested his party emphasize "teamwork." To that effort, he coughed up some cash to produce Racine-Shumlin bumper stickers to promote the Vermont Democrat ticket.

Shumlin was delighted.

When the bumper stickers arrived, they were fine with Shumlin. Racine, however, had a little problem.

The Quiet Man told Seven Days he had not been consulted in advance about the RacineShumlin stickers. He said that he noticed they read "made in Vermont," but did not carry the "union

group to visit Cuba. You know, Communist Cuba, the last reminder of the Cold War? The land of Fidel Castro, the Western hemisphere's most successful revolutionary since George Washington.

As you know, our proud nation, the United States of America, continues an absurd economic boycott of tiny Cuba. Even die-hard free traders have a blind spot when it comes to Cuba.

Folks of a certain age will always remember President John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis when nuclear annihilation seemed imminent.

The island, 90 miles from Florida, was a client state of the Soviet Union in the 1960s that roused fear and loathing on the mainland.

After a man robbed a bank in Walnut Creek, Illinois, he escaped but left behind his $3000 custommade racing bike. Noting that the same suspect had repeatedly escaped by stripping down from his street clothes into cycling gear and pedaling away, authorities asked the company that made the bike to post photos of it and the suspect on I the Internet. Two members of Chicago's bicycle-racing community called and identified the suspect.

FBI agents arrested Thomas Justice, 31, at his parents' house in Walnut Creek and said they suspect him of committing more than 30 other bank robberies across the country.

Election Follies A Miami nursing home asked the National Labor Relations Board to throw out the results of the union vote, saying that voodoo may have scared the facility's predominantly Haitian-American work force into voting to organize.

Workers at Mount Sinai-St. Francis Nursing and Rehabilitation Center testified that they saw lines of pennies, half-empty water cups and a union supporter twisting black beads in her hands before the vote, which was 49 to 37 in favor of unionizing.

• When Bernard Lindell Sr., 47, of Hopewell, Virginia, stepped into the voting booth on May 7 to cast his ballot for city council, he flipped open the slot for a write-in

_.iidate and saw his name, in his handwriting, in the slot. He complained to the Hopewell Electoral Board that the vote was from the November 2001 state elections and wasn't counted. The Electoral Board called the error regrettable but said the missing vote had no effect on the elections outcome.

"They took my rights away," Lindell insisted. "I deserve more than just an apology."

Way to Go Rass "Ralph" Rodgers, 56, a stroke patient at a nursing home in Bridgetown, Montana, died when a backup generator running a breathing machine failed after several storm-related power outages. "We can't believe what has happened," said Rodgers' pastor, the Rev. B.T. Rice. "We thought he was getting better."

"Taking into account my Canadian criminal record — at current exchange rates — is only worth 62 percent of an American criminal record,"

Pennsylvania's legal limit for driving.

• When Jose Casas-Ruiz, 23, died in a single-car accident in Bloomington, Illinois, a coroner's jury ruled that his death was accidental but avoidable because he was legally drunk at the time. After the verdict and two months after his death, Casas-Ruiz was ticketed for driving under the influence.

According to Kootenai County prosecutors, when he was refused, he drove his truck onto the sidewalk in front of the salon in Post Falls and tried to ram it.

Great Escape Scott Brimble escaped from Washington's Okanogan County Jail by using dental floss and toothpaste, which is an abrasive, to

weaken wire mesh surrounding the exercise yard, where he had been taken after complaining of claustrophobia. Sheriff Mike Murray said that Brimble then pried apart the mesh and fled.

All in the Family A jury in Akron, Ohio, found Narda Goff, 43, guilty of helping her husband impregnate her teenage daughter with a syringe. Goff, infertile after a hysterectomy, started recording the girl's menstrual cycle in 1998, then inseminated her with the sperm of John Goff. The girl, who is now 19, testified that her stepfather threatened to kill her mother if she declined to allow the insemination, adding that her mother gave her a home pregnancy test on Christmas Eve 1998 and presented the positive results to her stepfather "as a present." Paternity tests revealed that John Goff is the father of the baby boy bom to the daughter in September 1999.

Love Fails to Conquer All When authorities in Calcutta denied permission for a special area where people could publicly display affection without police harassment, the Lovers' Organization for Voluntary Exhibition, announced a protest march on the mayor's office. The kissing and hugging rally fizzled, however, when only about 30 people showed up, and they fled when several police vans arrived. ®

he cellular rang just before midnight on a recent Wednesday. "How much for a ride from Middlebury to Burlington?" a young male voice inquired.

I paused before responding, but not because I couldn't use a good fare on this otherwise slow night. My hesitation arose from the nature of the request — why would a person need a cab from Middlebury to Burlington at this late hour?

"Well, the answer to your question is 55 dollars," I said.

"But, frankly, I'm a little nervous about driving empty down to Middlebury for a pick-up. So, I've gotta ask you what the circumstances are. Give me some assurance you'll be there when I arrive."

"Sure, man, I understand. It's my girlfriend.

She's a sophoj more at UVM, and we're having kind of a rough j patch. I told her I'd come up ^ tonight, and my friggin' car won't start. I'll pay the i 55. I'll be there, I promise."

He was speaking fast now, like he was in a timelimited audition.

"My name's Matty. I live on top of the Alpine Shop, right in downtown Middlebury."

"Thanks, man," he said as he climbed into the front seat, pizza box first. "I'm so happy to see you. D'ya want some pizza?"

"No — thanks for asking, though. I actually just had a slice from Mr. Mike's on the way out of town."

As we headed north on Route 7, Matty chomped away at his food, seemingly nonchalant. He didn't appear distraught in the least, which surprised me given the situation as he had explained it. Either this was one cool character, I thought, or he was taking the opportunity of this ride to forget about his relationship travails.

"So, Matty, you going to Middlebury College? I thought all students had to live on cam»

pus.

Matty returned a half-eaten slice to the box, which was open on his lap, and wiped his lips with the back of one hand. The

"You bet. I work at two jobs — the Ben & Jerrys scoop shop and Waterfront Video."

"Waterfront Video? You commute up to Burlington?"

"No, they have a branch in Middlebury. They carry, like, the coolest films. It's a great place for me to work — I'm, like, the total movie geek. At some point I know I'm going to have to go to college and get a career, but I really don't know what I want to do. My folks say that it doesn't matter, I'll figure it out once I'm in college."

"Well, I can see your folks' perspective, but I wouldn't minimize the stuff there is to learn living atop a sportswear store and selling ice cream and videos. I bet you'll know when it's the right time to pursue school again."

"I hope so," he said, picking up a new wedge of pizza, "because some days I feel like I'm approaching slacker territory."

Having provided such sage advice on the young man's work and school issues, I moved onto his love life. "So, what's going on with this girl?"

Matty shook his head and lowered the pizza midway to the box. "I'm not sure, man, I'm really not. What she says is that I don't really listen to her."

"You're in luck, because I just happen to know something about that. This is the deal: You just listen. Don't try to solve her problems. It's that Mars-Venus thing."

"That what?" Matty was looking at me with a bemused smile.

"Never mind," I replied.

"The point is... Hell, I don't know what the point is!"

We laughed together, and talked about vintage movies the rest of the ride to Burlington.

When we arrived at the dorm, a pretty, bright-eyed girl was out in front, wearing an old-fashioned yellow rain jacket.

"That's her," Matty said.

"I figured," I replied. "It'll be okay. Just remember that listening thing."

"Sure, man," he promised, and walked out into the rain, and the waiting arms of his high school sweetheart. ©

He sounded sincere, and woman problems were a perfectl logical explanation for a young man taking an expensive cab ride at ffiTEnrrany

"All right, Matty," I replied.

"You sold me." My intuition told me I could trust this guy. He sounded sincere, and woman problems were a perfectly logical explanation for a young man taking an expensive cab ride at midnight. "Meet me right out on that main intersection at 12:30, okay?"

"Thanks, I'll be there. I really appreciate this. Two other cab companies turned me down."

"Great," I said. "That gives me a boost of confidence. I'll see ya in 45 minutes."

When I arrived in Middlebury it was drizzling. Under the rosy glow of the corner streetlamp stood a young man of about 20, a pizza box balanced between his hip and left hand, a slice in his right. His hair was sandy brown and tousled, and he had an honest, open face. He looked, in fact, exactly like I had imagined him, based on his voice.

rain was still falling softly, more like a mist now, and the tires whooshed rhythmically along with the windshield wipers. So long as I didn't try to push it — and I knew better — the driving conditions were fine, even pleasant. It felt cozy inside the warm vehicle.

"No, I'm not a student. I grew up in Middlebury. I'm a homeboy," Matty said, chuckling at that thought.

"Huh," I said, taken slightly aback. "I stand corrected." I had pegged him and his girlfriend s bond as an intercollegiate love affair.

"Stop me if I'm being nosy, but how did you hook up with a UVM student?" I asked.

"Oh, we went to high school together. We started going out back then."

"Wow," I said. "That's a long time. So, are you working in Middlebury?"

continued from page 4a of the hardest workers of the program, as saying, "Why harp on occupation, occupation..." We harp on occupation because the Israeli army is within Palestinian lands and controls who is allowed to travel, and the Palestinians feel occupied.

Bornstein knows that the Palestinians are living in an apartheid situation. I was with him in Israel and we observed Palestinians at checkpoints showing passes.

In Bethlehem we saw Israeli soldiers across the street from our hotel. It broke our hearts to see homes bulldozed and groves of old olive trees cut down by the occupying Israeli soldiers.

Kelley says that Rabbi Chasan was a co-founder of the Sister City Committee and that he resigned.

That is news to us. The Sister City is a task force of the Mayor's office with open meetings. There is no membership to resign from.

Whoever shows up is part of the group. The Rabbi just stopped coming. Chasan says he also doesn't like the word occupation because it is anti-Jewish. I agree that for Jews to occupy others is horrible and not part of our history. This occupation is turning people of the world against Israel. Not against Jews. It has created apartheid.

Kelley says that "Most of the sister cities' energies are focused on humanitarian aid." Not true; the campaign to raise money for relief in Bethlehem came out of the mayor's office. Our sister city group focuses on speak-outs, debates... films... exchange visits, letter-writing... financial support to Arad's underprivileged children at an afterschool program, computers and money'given to Seeds for Peace Camp... and finally our exchange students that spent three months studying and working in Burlington. This student exchange program ended only because the U.S. consulate in Israel stopped giving visas to the students from Bethlehem University...

The city councilor from Bethlehem, who was invited to visit Burlington, had received a U.S. visa.

She did not come because of the Israeli soldiers' occupation of Bethlehem... [They] would not let the citizens of Bethlehem leave their homes and she was not able to travel to the airport.

We invite all interested people to attend our monthly meetings, which are held on the first Wednesday of every month at Burlington City Hall... We also hope that people in the community who would like to help... send checks made out to Burlington/ Bethlehem/Arad Sister City Program... The Mayor's Office, Burlington City Hall.

what's out: overstating the obvious

w h a t ' s in: understated elegance

LEFTOVERS: Mona'S did a brisk business over graduation weekend.

Two days later the kitchen closed — for good. Employees arrived at the Burlington restaurant Tuesday morning to find the landlord had changed the locks and seized the property. "Was I late on the rent? You bet. How long? Twenty days," says Burlington restaurateur Manon O'Connor, who says she was witholding payment to protest the terms of her lease, which included "common area fees" she believed were too high. "We built the restaurant based on promised development," says O'Connor, noting the 5500-square-foot eatery was designed to serve growing numbers of people at nearby Union Station and the Burlington Waterfront. She asked Melinda Moulton for a rent adjustment based on a reassessment of the restaurants fair-market value. "I thought Main Street Landing would owe me money," says O'Connor. "Now I need to auction off all of my assets... She's slapped a lock on the door. I'm dead in the water."

Moulton is unapologetic. "We bent over backwards to make it work for her. You can blame all you want, but when you refuse to sign a lease and you won't pay rent, it's time to move on with your life." O'Connor says she has been looking to sell her restaurant for about six months. She came close with two prospects, both of whom walked away on account of the high rent, according to O'Connor. One of them was Peter White, formerly of The Waiting Room — the only lounge-restaurant in Burlington that serves French fries with a black truffle vinaigrette. White recently sold his interest to majority partner Anna Rosenblum, who has given up a teaching job to be at the restaurant full-time. Other "subtle changes" at The Waiting Room include lower dinner prices and more "share food" courtesy of New England Culinary-trained Matt Birong, who has replaced the original chef. It used to be only two entrees were less than 20 dollars. Now only two are over. Also, you don't have to stay up half the night to hear the live jazz. Starting this weekend, the music starts at six on Fridays and Sundays.

DUTCH TREAT: The name Gerritt Golner may not have the same ring as Rembrandt van Rijn, but the University of Vermont grad is sharing a bill with the Old Master this summer in Amsterdam. In the process of arranging artwork for an upcoming print show, Fleming Museum curator Janie Cohen intervened on Golner's behalf at the Rembrandt House Museum. "Thfcy are interested in contemporary printmakers whose work in some way responds to Rembrandt's processes," Cohen explains. "I told them I knew a young artist..." At Cohen's urging, Austrian-born Golner took a train from Germany to show the curators an etching — in 28 stages — that took her two years to create. "They loved it," Cohen claims. "They are going to exhibit all 28 this summer — with Rembrandt." Too bad he can't make the opening... hot 3/7? Nothing livens up a party like a discussion of Vermont Public Radio commentators. Otherwise civilized listeners erupt in opinionated vitriol when the conversation turns to the conservative politics of Libby Sternberg or the Ranger Rick-style musings of naturalist Will Curtis.

Something about being subjected to three minutes of them exponentially increases the potential annoyance to you. And it used to be five minutes.

A new book — Vermont Air: The Best of the Vermont Public Radio Commentaries — is an exercise in selective hearing. You can read who you like in the new paperback published by University Press of New England. Each contributor is represented by three stories. "Everybody's in there — the whole spectrum," says author Philip Baruth, who edited the collection with fellow commentator and author Joe CitrO. "It's like a town meeting," Baruth offers. "There are huge groups of people that you like and small knots of people you wish weren't there. You can't control it. Otherwise you lose the whole idea..." Experience the next best thing — a book release party, with all the writers — Saturday night at 7 p.m. in Burlington City Hall Auditorium.

H O P ' T I L Y O U D R O P : ' 'Business" comes before "arts" in the title of the organization, but that's only because it makes the acronym easier to pronounce. The South End Business and Arts has been linking culture and commerce since its first "Art Hop" invited public exploration of the creative enterprises in and around Pine Street in 1992. No wonder its member businesses hired a curator instead of a number-cruncher to steer the course. Lorna Kay Peale, 59, came from the education department at the Cinncinati Art Museum to organize entrepreneurs on the sunny side of town. One of them is her own daughter — Allison Dincecco owns a furniture store on Flynn Avenue. That's vSoHome. (Z)

'm in trouble from the start.

I've come to the Burlington Shipyard to learn how to build a 19th-century canal schooner, and maybe lend a hand. T h e Lake Champlain Maritime Museum is spending the next year assembling a replica of the type of boat that once made Burlington a h u b of mercantile traffic. T h e y want volunteers to help them — even novices like me.

So I strike up a conversation with one of the boatbuilders, an amiable man from Williston named Steve Page. He's carefully measuring and marking what look like long wooden beams.

"What are yqp doing?" I ask.

W i t h o u t looking up, he starts to explain: "The mortis timbers have to be mortised into the chine logs." Noticing my silence,

Page clarifies, "We're just about ready to bolt this thing together."

Ah. "This thing" is the underbelly of what will be the Lois McClure, an 88-foot-long canal schooner.

Laying the keel — I think that's what you call it — is just the beginning. T h e Lois McClure won't be completed until fall 2003, and won't take its, er, her maiden voyage until spring 2004, when a small crew will sail the schooner to historic spots along the lake and then down to New York City.

W h e n she returns to Burlington, the boat will serve as a northern outpost for the Maritime Museum, which is less conveniently located in N o r t h Ferrisburgh. But even during her construction, she'll be open to the public.

If you visit the shipyard, you'll find an open-sided metal

Champlain

shed with a concrete floor festooned with large chunks of wood that appear purposefully laid out — even to a landlubber like me. T h e work area is cordoned off with ropes, but^visitors can get a good view of what the boatbuilders are doing. Displays along two of the building's three inside walls illustrate Lake Champlain's history as a shipping corridor, and underwater videos show two of the less fortunate ships that lie on the lake's bottom.

T h e Lois McClure is based on those doomed vessels, which doesn't exactly give you faith in her future. But then, the older boats' fates were not completely unexpected. "They were worked hard," explains Elisa Nelson, an interpreter at the shipyard. " W h e n they sank, they sank, and the owners built another. This was business."

And business required sturdy boats, not pretty ones. "She's a barge," boatbuilder Rob Thompson says flatly of the Lois

old pirate movies. The wheel is part of the boat's steering mechanism, which is menacingly — though accurately — called a shin-cracker system.

It's mounted on a chunk of wood the size of a house beam, which is bolt _ ed to a large post, _ allowing the beam to swivel a few inches above the deck.

Nelson shows ^ me how to use the wheel, which is installed in a mockf up of the Lois McClures stern. "It is almost like dancW ing," she says, turnf ing the wheel and taking a couple of TtT waltzlike side steps as the beam pivots toward her.

Those better be quick steps if the boat gets hit by a big wave and you aren't holding tight onto the wheel. "We have a feeling that shin-cracker' might have been a euphemism for a broken leg," Nelson confides.

Even if the steering system does have it in for her shins, Nelson admires the boats. "These were the tractor trailers of their day, and the lake was their highway," she says.

Canals built both north and south of Lake Champlain during the early 1800s put the lake on the path to just about anywhere that counted — New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, Ottawa. The innovative schooners could slip through the canal locks and make the entire trip by water.

That meant that hauling goods to, say, New York no longer required a horse-drawn wagon to bridge the gap between lakes and rivers. So the typical travel time from Burlington to New York dropped from about 30 days to as few as 10.

oatbuilder Rob

flatly of the Lois. cClure. "I like er profile, but she isn't shapely McClure. "I like her profile, but she isn't shapely."

Looks be damned, he's still excited to be building her. "We're working on a scale that I never get to work on," says Thompson, who usually builds boats less than a quarter this size.

Even Paul Rollins, a veteran boatbuilder from York, Maine, who was hired to direct the construction, declares it a great gig.

"This is an interesting project because it is absolutely unique," he says. "No other boats like this are being built."

One reason might be that boats like this don't come cheap.

The Lois McClures budget is $1.2 million, a little more than $750,000 of which has been raised. The largest gift, $500,000, came from local philanthropists J. Warren and Lois McClure — hence the name.

The project also received major support from the Robert Fleming and Jane Howe Patrick Foundation and a VTrans Federal Enhancement grant, and it got free use of the shipyard from the Lake Champlain Transportation Company.

To help raise the rest, the museum is looking for community members to 'sponsor' various parts of the boat. Five hundred dollars will buy you one of the boats ribs, $1000 will get you a plank, $7500 a mast.

"The wheel is the big one," says Mike Lavecchia, the project's coordinator. "That's a hundred thou."

Looking at it, you can see why. The wheel is the only fancy part of the boat. It is large and gorgeously polished, and it resembles the ones you've seen in

Some shippers attempted even longer trade routes. One enterprising captain even sailed two canal schooners to New Orleans. "It probably took them the entire year," says Scott McLaughlin, an archaeologist with the Maritime Museum. "I guess they wanted to go to Mardi Gras."

Although the new canals could take you seemingly anywhere, traveling through them wasn't cheap. Canal operators charged stiff tolls. Boat companies responded by building vessels that barely squeaked through the canals, and they crammed as

much cargo in them as would fit.

When the holds were full, they stacked mounds of cargo on deck.

This rough treatment meant that boats were usually in service for only 15 to 30 years. The O.J. Walker — one of the vessels on which the Lois McClure is modeled — was long-lived for a canal boat. Launched in 1862, she survived until May 11, 1895, when she ran into a particularly severe windstorm, sprang a leak and went down in 60 feet of water at the north end of Burlington's breakwater. Her crew made it safely to shore in a lifeboat but

L

ake Champlain has engendered lots of drama, but I haven't come to the ship^ yard just to hear good stories. I want to feel what it was like to work on one of these boats, see the wood curl up under my chisel, the sawdust spew from my > saw.

Boatbuilding holds an allure because it is so foreign to me.

First off — how should I put this? — I'm one of those guys who didn't exactly excel in shop class. Unless you're talking about computers, hardware befuddles me. And when it comes to oldfashioned tools, forget it. I wouldn't know my adze from my elbow.

When it comes to old-fashioned tools I wouldn't know mv adze from mv elbow. would have had an easier time if, in their panic, they hadn't forgotten the oars.

The General Butler didn't live nearly so long. Also built in '62, she was operated for 14 years until her steering mechanism broke and she was dashed against the south end of the breakwater during a nasty December gale.

The captain, his daughter, a friend and a deckhand jumped onto the icy breakwater — and fortunately they were rescued by an alert lighthouse keeper.

The nautical thing is also lost on me. I prefer mountains. I've been sailing maybe four times, tops. My best qualification is that I've read most of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novels.

But I'm here to offer my services nonetheless. When I ask what I can do to be helpful, Steve Page seems flummoxed. It's not a really good day, I'm told, because he, the other boatbuilders and several volunteers with actual skills are still meticulously laying out the boat's bot-

; • / . ' ' torn. I can understand his quandary; nobody seems to be doing anything I can understand. Just measuring things in preparation for mortising the chine logs, I suppose.

T h e n Page has an idea. I can use an electric Sawz-all to cut down the bolts to be used in the hull. It seems like an important task; after all, I do know that bolts hold things together. But I'd prefer to use authentic period tools, so I ask for another job.

After a moment, Page decides to set me up with a draw knife, which resembles a long straightedge razor with two handles.

T h e n he clamps a wooden block to a bench and asks me to smooth it into a handle for a peavey, a metal spiked tool the boatbuilders use to roll large pieces of lumber.

Realizing that I'm being set to work on a piece that will never be part of the finished boat, I'm both disappointed and relieved. I may not be remaking history, but at least I won't be screwing it up.

Any disappointment dissolves as I get into the groove, repeatedly pulling the knife across ridges in the wood and watching them smooth away to nothing. Maybe my shop teacher was wrong: I can learn woodworking. It's just me and the wood, a Zen sort of thing.

But this isn't exactly the kind of relationship 19th-century boatbuilders and sailors must have had with their crafts. For them, these boats were a way to make money, and for many they became their life.

Teen-agers would sign on to work as deckhands, h o p i n g eventually to earn enough money to buy their own boats.

Married captains often brought their whole families on board.

Wives maintained and cleaned the boats and mended clothing and sails. T h e y also fed their families, along with any crew, even the mule driver who pulled the boats through the canals.

T h e youngsters would paint the boats, scrub the decks and work the pumps when necessary, which was often.

That left steering, doing heavy repairs, mending lines and filling out paperwork to the captain.

T h e building of the Lois McClure has brought canal schooners more attention than they've had in more than a century. McLaughlin, the Maritime Museum archaeologist, has researched the boats' era and found that boatmen didn't arouse much community interest then, either. "They provide an important service, transporting goods to and from the Champlain Valley, but just like today's truck drivers, nobody really pays much attention," he says.

Which is how the boatbuilders treat me while I whittle away on that handle. I take it as a compliment that they don't think I need fussing over, and I begin to feel at home. It's an odd feeling, especially when I'm surrounded by guys who probably did really well in shop — and like water. (7)

on the Road The Shelburne Museum a lot of mileage from a about America's di

B Y PAMELA POLSTON n exhibit opening at the Shelburne Museum this weekend proves you can take it with you. Some of it, anyway. "American Wanderlust: Taking to the Road in the 20th Century" is a paean to the country's restless spirit. That is, the version that evolved with the automobile and the paved routes which allowed us to go west, and

American pursuit of happiness would always, somehow, involve wheels. Such was our sense of adventure and, perhaps, entitlement, that even the most settled suburbanites wanted to have a veritable room of their own on the highway.

Nomadism was simply a necessary way of life for others, explains Valerie Hunt, the Curator of Transportation at the Shelburne Museum and the

State Representative Steve Hingtgen of Burlington. "He's got 25 'tourists' coming from as far as Michigan for opening weekend," says Hunt.

It is predominantly the voluntary, recreational wheel deal that concerns the Shelburne Museum in this exhibit — the inventive motorized habitats and the attendant material culture documenting nearly a century of life in the lanes. Not least interesting is the

in every other direction, with the addictive assistance of fossii fuels.

In the 20th century that pioneering sensibility headed toward its apotheosis — mobile homes that did not need to circle with other wagons against marauders at night but simply park alongside a handy hookup.

It was the natural legacy of a citizenry that traveled from everywhere else to get here. And when the vestigial wanderlust merged with an equally potent, self-determined yearning for comfort and convenience, there was no question that the

dynamo behind "American Wanderlust." That was particularly true during the Great Depression and the years immediately following both World Wars, when housing for returning soldiers was scarce, she informs. Then there were the original traveling salesmen. And the so-called Tin Can Tourists — impoverished campers who set up in the orange groves of Florida and California in the '20s and '30s — still exist today as a national touring club some 200,000 strong. Its northeast chapter, in fact, is headed up by

intersection of modernist design and functional objects — an outcome of the machine age whose Zeitgeist optimistically promised a bright, shiny and somehow better future. Anything that enhanced Americans' freedom and individualism was unquestionably a good thing. Like, say, homes to go.

Consequently, "American Wanderlust" offers up for interactive enjoyment more than a dozen touring vehicles of the 20th century, from a 1923 Auto Kamp Trailer to a 1970s pickup with a slide-on, along with other

A

road, and roadside, memorabilia.

The vintage vehicles are painstakingly restored right down to the curtains, including a '60s-era "hippie bus." More on that later.

Two more contemporary Colemans were outfitted by invited interior designers April Cornell and Orvis. And finally, there is a model for this century: a state-ofthe-art, luxury Airstream "Bambi" prototype for 2003.

No, you don't get to drive

anything, though tiny pedal cars will be on hand for tots. As always at the Shelburne Museum, though, educational and entertainment opportunities abound — including video presentations and a large-scale floor "board" game that takes players on a pretend cross-country trip. Nosing through stationary vehicles may not quite match the adventure of packing one up and heading out with the Rand McNally, but

P

eople who love RVs probably don't associate Miguel de Cervantes with their auto-obsession. But Valerie Hunt quoted the 17th-century Spanish writer — "the road is always better than the inn" — in an essay she wrote in December 2000 entitled, "Prairie Schooner to Land Yacht: A Century of Americans on the Move." That essay marked the beginning of nearly two years of research — and enthusiastic acquisition — for "American Wanderlust," only part of which were the rides collectively called recreational vehicles.

The exhibit — budgeted in the $100,000 range — includes a 1956 Serro Scotty that Hunt shelled out for herself. She and two colleagues stayed in the rounded compact trailer for two days while scavenging at Brimfield — the giant antiques fair in Massachusetts. It was "one of the best" sources for artifacts, says Hunt, who delights in her serendipitous finds. Of "immeasurable value," she adds, were the "in-kind donations of stuff and labor" in assembling the exhibit and restoring the vehicles.

Hunt also attended a Tin Can Tourist meet in Michigan, through which she found her Scotty and a 1948 Branstrader trailer. Some vehicles were donated; one was found wasting away in a pasture.

Known worldwide for its expansive holdings of American folk art and artifacts, the Shelburne Museum has edged closer to the contemporary with recent exhibits that have explored the playthings, art and living quarters of the mid-20th century — Hunt was also behind the creation of the museum's 1950s House. The gradual "modernization" of the collections may be a logical move as the museum keeps pace with history, but it also reflects the interests of current president Hope Alswang. "She's really enlivened the museum," Hunt says approvingly. And, not coincidentally, the stuff of babyboomer childhoods helps attract that sizeable demographic, and its offspring, to the museum experience.

"Wanderlust" — the brainchild of chief curator Henry Joyce — brings the museum right up to date, albeit still steeped in nostalgia. "Since we Jiave a transportation collection and curator," Joyce explains, "[I thought] we should do a transportation show." With evident glee, he adds "Isn't this fun?"

So too will summertime visitors find this exhibit entertaining, even endearing. If it is the role of museums to show us our past, the Shelburne accentuates the positive — staying just shy of kitsch — with "Wanderlust."

Criticism is not really on the agenda, unless you choose to read into it a very gentle comment on Americans' unbridled

love affair with gas-guzzling vehicles and rampant materialism.

But consumer behavior has been examined in so many ways so many times that the Shelburne curators surely found no reason to "go there."

Instead, "Wanderlust" is almost completely affectionate and indulgent in tone and content. T h e articulate H u n t gets nearly giddy just talking about it. And what's not to love about such finds as an Upton Kamp-KookKit, with its portable cooking gadgets, or m m vintage fabric dotted with donkeys, or even a fold-down enamel sink in a miniature mobile bathroom?

Neato! "It's a 'we had one of those' thing," explains H u n t . "All of a sudden your memories encircle that interaction with, say, a plaid cooler."

Only a 1948 newspaper found in one vehicle briefly darkens the exhibit's good h u m o r — the prescient headline of the yellowed edition of The Muncie Star is "New Palestine War Before UN." W h a t has changed and what has stayed the same is of interest throughout this exhibit. But one

thing you don't see on the road anymore is an all-out psychedelic hippie bus. T h e Shelburne's recreated version — from a 1948 White Super Power — may be uniquely popular with boomers, even those who never inhaled. If the tuned-in, dropped-out generation seems hopelessly naive from where we stand, it's easy to feel wistful about a time in which peace-love-and-happiness was considered feasible.

The Shelburne's bus is meant to be "the

AND ABROAD

hypothetical home of a hippie family" from the era of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, H u n t says. She had looked as far as California for a bus with sufficient vintage — what would have been 10 to 15 years old in the late '60s. But she spotted this one while driving on Route 9 near Keeseville, N e w York. "I saw this bus out of the corner of my eye and almost got

in a car accident," H u n t recalls.

After she persuaded the owner to give it up, "it took four guys a week to unload the scraps and metal parts that were being stored in it."

N o w that bus is gaily painted in the floral, paisley and fauxIndian designs of the period. Its interior d^cor precedes heavy metal — music, that is — with funky farm tables, junkyard appliances and macrame plant hangers. An authentic "stash" box is obscured under floorboards. "I wanted to put a bong in it," confesses H u n t , "but I got voted down." If the illicit substances are only implied, visitors can still dress like hippies — clothing and other vintage apparel will be on hand for playing dress-up.

Kesey's bus, made famous in Tom • Wolfe's 1968 The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, was called Furthur. As of a week ago, the Shelburne's bus was unnamed. But in keeping with the times — then and now — H u n t says they will probably call it Peace. Some things really never change.

"American Wanderlust" will stay at the Shelburne Museum through October, in and around the R o u n d Barn. After that the show will go — where else? — on the road. ©

hat comes around goes around. And around.

And around. Stock cars prove it at West Haven's Devil's Bowl every Sunday all summer.

"There's such an energy at the racetrack," says Sharon Richards, 37, who co-owns the business with her father and brothers.

"They can see these cars... just dicing it out, wheel-to-wheel.

There's no other action close to that. That's why auto racing is now the number-one fan sport.

They have more people at the Daytona 500 than they have at the Superbowl." In fact, a recent survey of attendance at American sporting events found that 17 of the 20 largest crowds were gathered for stock car races.

Essentially a blue-collar pastime, the fossil-fueled sport was born in the Carolinas during Prohibition, when moonshine runners would soup up their engines to try and outrun lawmen in the dead of night. T h e best drivers began competing on dirt tracks carved out of cornfields. But stock car racing really came into its own after World

War II, when returning soldiers with the right stuff had time on their hands and money in their pockets. Today, wannabe W i n ston C u p winners from as far away as Canada and New Jersey work their way up the ranks at Vermont proving grounds such as Bear Ridge in Bradford, T h u n d e r

Fair Haven in 1965. He stayed two years while building Devil's Bowl in nearby West Haven.

Twenty years later, the family opened a sister track, the AlbanySaratoga Speedway, in Malta, New York. As a girl, she remembers sleeping behind the booth while her mother, Judith

Racing runs as thick as motor oil in Richards' blood. "I started driving as soon as I could reach the gas pedal and the brake," she says. "I don't know anything different."

Carl "Super CV" Vladyka lives on a farm next door to the nowdefunct Fairmont speedway in Fair Haven.

"I used to go watch and I was a fan," recalls Vladyka, 46. "Then I got a car one time. It was an old beat-up car and we took it up there and got hooked."

Nowadays, the third-generation dairy farmer drives a highperformance 2002 Monte Carlo in the Pro Street Stock division.

During the week, when he's not milking Holsteins, he and his mechanic tinker with the rig, redistributing weight between the wheels, changing tire sizes or tweaking the gearing so the car will take corners more or less tightly.

"It's not just going around in circles," he says. "Its an awful rush to have the competition and the challenge of trying to get your car to go faster than the other guys and trying to guess what the track conditions are going to be.

That s one thing about dirt. Every time you go there, it's different."

O n any given Sunday, four classes of car vie for vehicular victory beneath the stadium lights.

The higher the class, the more

powerful the motor. At the top of the heap is the Modified Car, an open-wheeled racer. T h e earliest ones were fenderless Gremlins.

O n e notch down from the modified car is the Pro-Street Stock car, which looks like something youd see on the highway, but each with a custom-built chassis, a light fiberglass body and high-performance parts.

T h e Hobby Stock car, one more step down, must use parts originally made for that vehicle, with few exceptions. "You take it out of the junkyard, put a roll cage in it, a stock motor for the year of the car and stock tires," Richards explains.

Winners in these racing categories can collect cash purses of several hundred dollars. But in the entry-level cruiser division, learning drivers maneuver 4- and 6-cylinder compacts for nothing more than glory and good vibes.

In a single outing to Devil's Bowl, spectators can expect to see about 17 races, ranging from eight-lap qualifying rounds with about 10 cars per heat to features, in which up to 25 cars at a time complete 20 to 100 laps.

Most of the flags and lights

hat is it — besides hot dogs, beer and Americans' perennial fascination with the automobile — that keeps folks coming back to Devils Bowl each Sunday?

Probably not the opportunity for scintillating conversation. The noise level at this place rivals an airport runway.

Its probably not the fresh air, either. Though races don't start until after the evening dew has settled down the dust, and groomers prepare the surface of the track with 250,000 gallons of water on the driest summer nights, spectators are well-advised to wear goggles.

T h e better to see the occasional crack-up? "They're the best part of racing/ Richards admits. "Fans love em. There's usually crashes every night. It can be as little as one doing a spin-out to the whole pack of them in a pile-up. We've seen cars go home on a roll-back.

There's nothing left to the car."

People have broken bones at Devils Bowl, but there has never been a fatality. Roll cages and five-point harnesses, like the ones used in child seats, allow drivers to walk away from most accidents — even ones that look devastating.

"The most serious crash we've had was about 5 years ago," remembers Richards. "The car hit the wall and flipped like you've never seen before, and his gas tank hit the concrete and exploded. He was extricated but suffered severe burns on his hands."

Vladyka, who is accustomed to racing at speeds averaging 80 mph, has been through everything from fender benders to rollovers. O n e time, when three different cars slammed his vehicle sideways into the wall, he cracked his ribs. O n another occasion, a car darted in front of his and Vladyka suffered a concussion. "It was almost like I was walking beside myself," he says. "It knocked me right out for a second. Luckily, the car was kind of turning by itself. W h e n I woke up it was just kind of chugging."

For Tim "the Orwell Express" LaDuc, a second-generation racer who drives in the modified class, stock car racing is a family tradition. "My father raced right up until the day he passed away," says Laduc, 29. "Its a good, clean sport. I shouldn't say clean, because you're racing in dirt and mud." ®

ft new business gives aspiring skateboarders safe haven B Y ROBERT ISENBERG

N

ate is balancing his board on the slim, rubber-coated edge of a wooden skate ramp. If he leans too far back, he'll fall on the seat of his pants; too far forward and he'll drop clumsily off the platform. But Nates too good for that. H e lingers there for a second, surveying the empty skate park, then abruptly swivels the head of the board, tips downward and flies down the curved incline.

Speeding across the floor, he 1 glides effortlessly over a wooden island and ascends the opposite ramp, where he whirls around and stands still, gazing again, holding the lip of his board.

Nate is 10 years old. He's been skateboarding for just two months — one of many young prodigies who have entered the sport through the doors of Talent Skatepark and Shop on Williston Road in South Burlington. Talent is a hip — not to mention inexpensive — alternative to mainstream sports and arcades, and it just might become one of the most popular after-school programs in town. O n e mother described the company as "much cheaper than daycare" — which is how many parents have begun to use the facility: it's a place to drop off their kids during the day.

Talent's doors have only been open since December 22 and already the intrepid business hosts more than 50 teens and young adults on rainy weekends. It's been less crowded on sunny weekdays, but when school lets out, the ramps are likely to be rocking.

Talent is the brainchild of Hannah Schwartz and David Wood, the soon-to-be married couple who met as skateboarders and now provide a new, indoor locus for the Burlington area boarding community. Originally from Colchester, Schwartz has been boarding since her high school days in the late '80s — though she modestly still calls herself a beginner. For several years Schwartz was general manager for The B Side in downtown Burlington. Through the '90s she

enthusiastically advocated for the city to build what eventually became the Waterfront Skate Park.

"It was like 10 years sitting through meetings, trying to get [the City Council] to build it," Schwartz recalls.

W h e n the idea was finally approved, W o o d led the design and construction of the skate park. A hard-core boarder during his adolescence in Massachusetts, W o o d also managed a skate store through college, and later helped build a skate park in Shirley, Mass. In 1999, his newly established company, Custom Skatepark Development, was hired to help build the Burton factory ramp. It was then that he met Schwartz, perhaps the only w o m a n in Vermont whose skateboarding zeal matches his.

W i t h these backgrounds, both were sympathetic to the local demand for a public indoor ramp. "People were like, dude, you have to build a skate park," says Wood. "And I was like, I don't have any money for that."

But the success of the Burton and Waterfront projects gave him more cred and more confidence.

Wood and Schwartz put the wheels in motion last June, working closely with a counselor from the Small Business Development Center. They invested nearly all of the profits Wood had made through his company and took out a bank loan. W i t h his technical experience and Schwartz's business sense, Talent emerged five months later, just in time for the holiday season. Throughout the winter, the skate park won a supportive audience of young boarders and their relieved parents. "They're so well organized.

M y son loves them. I've even thought about doing the class myself," one m o m attests.

Such enthusiasm is good for the business. And it spells a victory for a community still fighting the popular image of boarders as rebellious slackers and skate parks as veritable halfway houses for dropouts and smallscale drug traffickers. There may be some truth to this last assumption — after all, where

are illicit drugs wo? sold? But Talent defies the stereotype.

From its inception, Schwartz and Wood declared a zero-tolerance policy — if they spot a single beer can or joint, the possessor is exiled forever. Other rules: No glass is allowed, and all boarders must wear helmets, even if the room isn't crowded.

Schedules are strictly enforced, and kids under 17 must have both signed release forms from their parents and pads for their knees and elbows.

The store section is spacious, well-lit and immaculately clean; racks of well-pressed jeans and sweatshirts hang over vacuumed carpets. Next to the cash register hang dozens of skating helmets.

Beyond that, a glass door leads to Talent's voluminous gymnasium.

Looking for a better w a y to meet new people in the area? she mentions the art hanging on the store walls — an exhibit from locals that changes monthly — she adds, "It's just to let the kids know there's more to life than logos."

Recently Talent hosted six professional skateboarders from California, including big-namers Mark Appleyard, Colt Cannon and Caswell Barry. The demo was all-out performance — no actual teaching was involved — but wide-eyed visitors could watch some of the best moves in the biz as local DJ A-Dog spun discs in the background. For safety's sake, Schwartz and Wood built plywood barricades around the park.

Every Saturday morning, the couple gives demonstrations, teaching beginners to do what

"People were lik 4 l i l l l i [ J V S ou have to build I don't have any money for that."

— David Wood The park includes the requisite halfpipe, several independent ramps and a so-called "sink," which resembles an unfilled swimming pool. Surfaces are a little scuffed by hard-rolling wheels, but the park is washed with bright fluorescent light, which should keep it looking new for years to come.

As teachers and monitors, Wood and Schwartz seem to have natural parental instincts, even though both are just 29.

Wood is tall, eloquent and wellorganized, a portrait of amiable authority. Schwartz is soft-spoken, but her passion for boarding is unmistakable. They're forever talking about "the kids."

"The kids really, really need this place," says Schwartz. When

many of us consider impossible: Stand on a board with wheels.

Other days, visitors pay $10 for four hours on the ramps.

Children as young as 8 might strap on inline skates — a.k.a.

Rollerblades — while 12-yearolds try their first boards.

Many parents have caught the bug, too, trying to pull off tricks beside their pubescent children.

Young women turn up for Talents monthly Girls' Night.

"One girl showed up with her boyfriend," says Schwartz, chuckling. "I made him sit in the car."

While the overall marks are high for Talent, the skate park is not without its critics. The building once housed Breakers Billiards, and their landlord, John Jager, was skeptical about

That fantasy was rejected, but it still took a bit of cajoling to get Talent the green light. Jager asked for a focused business plan and precise schematics. Once the park appeared failsafe, he gave them permission to renovate.

The landlord wasn't the only one with misgivings. Just a few weeks ago, the kids were "bummed out," says Schwartz, when a teacher at Williston Central High School reportedly lambasted the park, suggesting it was a bad influence on teens.

Schwartz and Wood were outraged and complained to the school's administration. To their knowledge, no such comments have been made since.

But a little slander can't hurt such a popular spot — it might even help. "The parents are on our side," says Wood confidently.

He and Schwartz can probably expect a deluge of newcomers this summer, both at Talent and at the Burlington Skate Park, where they will teach an outdoor skate course. If Nate's twomonth-old prowess is any indication, the couple has proved successful at safely teaching kids how to ride like pros.

n seventh grade, Adrian West and a pal made a wooden vehicle powered by a onecylinder washing-machine motor, then tooljpd slowly around town until the state police pulled them over. T h e determination to get behind the wheel of a jalopy didn't stop there.

Vermont-based West got his driver's license at, 14, in Florida — the only state where it was legal at that age.-Working on his used 1927 Ford involved regular searches of a farmer's field that had become a ju<nkyard for Model T pjfrts. t "It was kind o f a nifty little thing," the car-crazy Morrisville native says of the first in a long line of classics he has bought and restored to their former glory.

More than five decades later, 69-year-old West has lost none of his passion for the grand old conveyances that helped shape the 20th century's American dream. H e enters his autos in

competitions at antique-car meets, talks about them with fellow devotees and watches for rubber-meets-the-road contraptions that might be worth snapping up. "I'm always looking for

something different," he says of his pursuit. "That's the disease."

"Work" is the operative word, though. West spends hours tending to the ageless beauties in a cramped machinetool shop in the garage of his 19th-century family homestead — he was born in the room

loves to discuss their engaging histories.

A black 1946 Cadillac 60 Special he'found in Pennsylvania two years ago has an enormous clock on the dashboard, a beige Bakelite steering wheel, a tiny

rear window, lots of chrome and enough space in the back to host a small party. " W h e n I was 16,1 would have killed for a car like this," West acknowledges. "I suspect it might have been part of an undertaker's fleet. This Caddy has won its share of originality awards."

ural Vermont — in particular, Lamoille County — might seem an improbable base for West, whose hobby carries connotations of vast wealth and lots of leisure time. Yet he's proud of the apparent contradiction. His late father Rethel — named for a character in Beowolf— owned real estate in Florida as well as a now-defunct Ben Franklin store in Morrisville. Adrian worked there as a kid and for most of his adult life.

"I was always perfectly happy to be a small-town merchant," West says. But his air of sophistication suggests experiences way beyond nearby Stowe. West "prepped" at the tony Exeter Academy and then majored in "money and banking" at the prestigious Harvard College. He was employed by a railroad company in Boston before joining the Navy in 1956.

West purchased a new Mercedes Benz while he was stationed in France, near the seaside resort of Nice. When his commanding officer questioned him about it, "I told him, 'I may only have one stripe, but I never said I was poor,'" he recounts. His father was an enthusiastic supporter of his collecting habit.

"When Papa came to visit, he wanted my car," West recalls. "So I gave it to him and got another »

one.

After seeing a bit of the world, West came back to the Green Mountain State in 1959 to help run the family business.

He had already been bitten by the antique-car bug and became a member of the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts. The group offered networking opportunities, but West taught himself authentic restoration techniques.

"I loved anything mechanical," West explains.

That affection also attracted him to airplanes. West had learned to fly in the military by piloting his ship's helicopter.

Back in Vermont, he bought a 1948 Cessna and worked on it under the aegis of a federally certified mechanic. After 25 years of flying, he no longer owns the aircraft. And after 40 years in business, his variety store closed in 1999.

West's commitment to cars, on the other hand, continues.

It's an obsession. He describes his maroon 1941 Lincoln Continental as "probably the most handsome automobile ever made," glancing at a decorative front grill that encases enormous headlights resembling SpiderMan's non-circular, arachnid eyes.

West constructed the dashboard on his 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to look something like a submarine control panel.

The sporty car is a tight fit for two people, but a "dickey seat"

— also called a "rumble seat" — and a luggage rack adorn the back. It has no doors, and curtains instead of glass side windows. The running board is so high that petite passengers would have needed a stepladder to climb inside.

"I traded an M G for it in the late 1970s," West says. "I only got the chassis, though. The body came from a friend in South Florida. So I married the » two.

A

1922 Franklin in West's workshop was also a trade.

The "roadster" is just a few steps up the vehicular food chain from an old-fashioned buggy. The chassis for a i938 Bentley also occupies the room; the body to match it resides in the warehouse. "When I get

them, they often aren't worth much. I have a lot of hours in these cars. Hopefully, I'll live long enough to see all my projects done."

West spends 40 to 50 hours a week bringing new life to his prized possessions, some of which are hauled to the 20 or so antique-automobile shows he visits every year. A week ago, a friend in Rutland invited him to an upcoming meet in Connecticut that will feature pre-World War I cars. West agreed without hesitation.

Not-so-organized encounters can result in bonding that transcends differences in age and gender. In 1995 West was passing through New Hampshire and stopped at The Roadkill Cafe in North Conway. A motorcycle gang had gotten there first, but its members admired his red 1924 Rolls. "They were very respectful," he recalls.

A different road took West to Europe four or five years ago.

"An English friend and I located a rusting, two-cylinder 1903 Rolls Royce in Eastern Wales," West says of the trip. "This was the only one we knew of still in existence." But West opted not to buy it. "That car is for experts in pre-Silver Ghost Rolls," he says. "They're practically extinct."

What would really tempt him — if there were room in his warehouse for further acquisitions? "A 1941 Packard station wagon," he confides. "I used to own one, but made the mistake of selling it." Longings like that drive the world of antique autos. ®

nkle-deep in wet leaves, Kate Carter positions her tripod on a slippery slope to snap a picture of some Clintonia growing along a wooded trail in Waterbury. Crouched at an improbable angle, she uses a macro lens to shoot just inches away from the small plant with bell-shaped, pale-yellow blossoms. "Usually I'm down on the ground with my butt in the air," acknowledges Carter, her footing still not secure in the springtime forest.

As the author and photographer of Wildjlowers of Vermont, she can often be

running and such would be ruled by jock genes. In fact, Carter's creative drive and environmental awareness do seem to stem from her athletic endeavors.

"I think they go hand-in-hand," she suggests. "I spend so much time outside, but I didn't know the names of plants.

That made me feel disconnected and a little dumb."

Although not a vegetarian or "Whole Earth" hippie, Carter sounds a bit like a poet as she discusses her favorite flora: "Closed gentian is totally cool-looking. I really like the figwort family," she says. continued on page 26a

SEVEN DAYS newspaper Where the good employees are.

Grass-of-Parnassus — a native plant with dark green veins radiating from the center of delicate white flowers — she calls "stunning."

Her own life took root in Kansas, followed by a childhood in New Jersey. After graduating from high school, Carter spent time as a ski b u m around M o u n t Snow for two years before setting her sights even higher — on the Rockies in Colorado.

Though she'd never even used a camera before, Carter was hired by a company called SharpShooters to run a ski-area photo concession. "I had no college. I had no dream. I just wanted to do the powder thing

was pretty skimpy back then."

Along with her photos, Carter developed the work ethic and lifestyle that keep her on the go. She was spending so much time outdoors that Menasha Ridge Press in Alabama approached her about doing a book. T h e result was Mountain Bike Vermont, published four years ago.

W h e n it came to wildflowers, however, Carter wanted to go her own way. She had been shooting plants, animals and scenery for years. She researched whether other books existed like the one she had in mind; they didn't. Her marketing savvy came into play with the idea of tapping into "that Vermont products lure," she notes. "I'm set up to publish because of the newspaper. I figured, ' W h y not

"Flowers resemble upsidedown pantaloons hangin rom clotheslines, or albino bats hanging from tree rom Wildflowers of Vermont, bv Kate Carter every day," she confesses. "But I do think I've got a pretty good artistic eye."

Homesick for the East Coast, she jumped at the chance to open a SharpShooters franchise at Stowe in 1982. "I noticed how different the light was out West," Carter says, sounding like a discerning photographer. "It's not as harsh here. You get a lot of mid-tones. There's more diffusion with the clouds and humidity. It's softer."

Her SharpShooters sojourn came to an abrupt end in 1989 after an accident in the line of duty. "I stopped working for them the day I broke my leg," recalls Carter, who is big-boned, but exceedingly fit, with wavy blonde hair and a dimpled smile.

"I was skiing in the woods and hit a tree. I was in a cast for six months."

With only $5000 coming to her in workmen's compensation, Carter needed a job. That's when she began commuting to Burlington to sell ads for a paper called Vermont Woman — which ceased to exist a year later.

But what seemed a streak of bad luck led to an inspiration.

"I had seen a publication in Colorado, Rocky Mountain Sports and Fitness, and believed something like that would really fit in here," Carter says. "And it has."

Working from home, she figured out how to be the reporter, photographer, editor and publisher of Vermont Sports Today.

Not to mention salesperson. "I was selling the ads myself at first," Carter says. " T h e m o n e y

do it myself? I can do this and — you know what? — I'll make more money this way.'"

But with limited knowledge of the subject, Carter had to study. "I'm not a botanist, so I consulted with Charles J o h n son, a retired state naturalist," she says. " H e also helped me with the book's layout and design."

By the winter of 2 0 0 0 - 2 0 0 1 , Carter had located a printer in Montreal. In mid-April, she set out to photograph what eventually would become 2 2 5 images of wildflowers. By early a u t u m n , she had shot 80 rolls of film.

"My first plant was coltsfoot," Carter remembers. "That's an alien species. In the woods, you're probably going to see native species. Driving down the road, you see the 'garden escapees' — things like mallow. It's a European plant brought over here for people's gardens that got away."

Carter initially wanted to cover the whole state, but that proved unfeasible. "I found everything I needed closer to home, from Middlebury to Woodstock and north," she says, adding that places such as Shelburne Pond, Chickering Bog in East Montpelier and Niquette Bay State Park in Colchester were particularly fruitful. T h e book lists the spot where each photo was taken, as well as the time of year.

"I f o u n d m a n y things not on my original list," Carter notes. "I wasn't intending to limit myself, but I didn't want to come to a

point in mid-summer when I had too many items. So I began eliminating all flowering shrubs.

Then, all flowering vines."

Consequently, she plans a shruband-vine sequel that should be completed this year.

Carter's prose for each entry in the wildflower guide is brief but descriptive. "Flowers resemble upside-down pantaloons hanging from clotheslines," she writes under a picture of Dutchman's breeches, "or albino bats hanging from tree limbs."

The manuscript went to press last November. To get her 5000 copies of Wildflowers of Vermont into readers' hands, Carter collaborated with Vermont author Jerry Gange, who could offer the distribution routes he has cultivated for his own hiking guides. Her finished product is now in shops and museums throughout the state and beyond. "We've got it up and down the Connecticut River Valley," Carter says. "It's also available on Amazon.com, but they take a big cut."

While Vermont Sports Today kept her afloat financially, she spent $25,000 — "my life savings" — on the project. "I expect to reach break-even this summer, when 2500 copies have been sold," she confides.

Reviews have been mostly positive. Commentator Jules Older praised Carter's efforts earlier this month on Vermont Public Radio. The Green Mountain Club's Long Trail Newsletter offered constructive criticism, wishing she had included the state's "Class B Noxious Weeds" — four of the book's selections are on that list of invasive wildflowers. "That's a good idea," she concedes. "It hadn't occurred to me."

What does occur to her on a recent stroll along the Waterbury trail is that the purple trillium is past its prime. She moves a few feet down the path, stops and points. "This is the beginning of false Solomon's seal. It's very young now. but grows to be 3 feet tall. Oh, and there's Clintonia," Carter proclaims, referring to a flower that is not a tribute to Bill and Hillary. Sometimes called the blue-bead lily — due to the color of its poisonous berries — the plant was named as an homage to De Witt Clinton, governor of New York in the early 1800s.

Inside Track continued from page 5 a American Mafia from his island.

Time heals all wounds, they say, but this one continues to ooze pus. Even with the Soviet Union dissolved and the Berlin Wall torn down, the planet's only superpower maintains a shameful policy toward its tiny neighbor.

Since George W. Bush moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the screws on Cuba have been tightened. More than 700 Americans have been prosecuted and fined for visiting Cuba as tourists during Dubya's first year in office.

A couple weeks ago, former President Jimmy Carter visited Cuba, criticized Fidel's government on Cuban TV, and called for an end to the U.S. embargo and an easing of restrictions on travel.

Since jimmy Carter of Plains, Georgia, was once one of our favorite presidential hopeful's early role models, we put the question to him. Where does ^Howard AifrY Dean stand on Cuba?

Dr. Dean said he doesn't have a policy just yet, but he's "working on one." He was, however, kind enough to share some of the factors he's considering in formulating his Cuban policy. From the sound of it, the coid-warrior mentality still burns bright in Ho-Ho's psyche.

For starters, Dean puts Fidel in the same category as Iraq's Saddam Hussein, architect of weapons of mass destruction.

"It makes sense to have open trade [with Cuba]," said Ho-Ho, "but on the other hand you have a guy who is a gross violator of human rights. It's going to be very hard for me to reward the behavior of someone like Fidel Castro any more than we would reward the behavior of Saddam Hussein."

Birds of a feather in Ho-Ho's mind. But when's the last time the New York Yankees started a pitcher from Baghdad?

Gov. Dean says both dudes, Fidel and Saddam, "put their critics in jail," and do "appalling" things. He compared the Cuban trade embargo to the sanctions on Iraq. Sounds like Ho-Ho and his fellow Yale alumnus, Dubya, are on the same better-dead-than-red page on this one.

"Its a difficult balance between trying to keep someone in the world community and yet, at the same time," said Dean, "not send the wrong message. It's a very tough question. I don't have a position on it yet."

Ho-Ho says he plans to sit down with "experts" on Cuban policy before formulating his own. No doubt he'll also calculate just how important the antiCastro Cuban-American vote is in winning Florida's 25 electoral votes. Our sources say they vote Republican anyway.

"There's no winning side in this one in terms of politics," conceded Dean. "Might as well make your decision on a thoughtful, strategic basis and then take the lumps, because you're going

to have to take your lumps from one side or the other depending on what you do."

Cuba si, Ho-Ho no?

UVM Goes to Market — The bond market, that is. This week the University of Vermont is rolling out its biggest bond issue in history. UVM will be offering investors $119 million in longterm bonds.

UVM President Ed Colodny told Seven Days that "A significant portion of these bonds may well be sold to Vermonters. It's tax-free income and it's a good deal."

Interest will be in the 5 to 6 percent range. The exact rate will be determined later in the week.

The "bulk" of the cash raised, said Colodny, will be used for "residential life projects." Student dorms will be renovated and a new residence hall constructed, providing 500 to 600 new beds.

"It shows the university is moving forward on building for the future," said Colodny.

By the way, Mister Ed, a Burlington kid who made it big in the corporate world and then came home to help his alma mater in a time of crisis, wraps up his tour of duty as interim president next month. Ed's done good.

Real good. June 28, he said, will be his last day in the president's office at Waterman.

As everyone knows, Dan Fogel will be taking over the UVM reins as the new full-time president. But Mister Ed is going to maintain his renewed ties to his hometown.

Colodny told Seven Days that he and his wife recently purchased a condominium at College and Battery, a.k.a. Megabricks.

The Colodnys bought a 1600square-foot, third-floor unit on the lakeside. They'll still maintain their primary residence in Bethesda, Maryland, he said, but you can expect to see them on the streets downtown for years to come.

Cool.

"Conventional or organic,

Congratulations, Graduate! — And the graduate we're talking about is State Sen. Tick McCormack. The Windsor County Democrat just picked up a masters in environmental law from Vermont Law School — cum laude, too!

The talented 54-year-old folk singer is chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee.

"Just another arrow in my quiver," he told Seven Days.

Getting his masters was a threeyear pursuit.

"I'm ready to have my music become an avocation," said McCormack. "I've outlasted most of the hippies, but I need a job."

Preferably a job that will allow him to spend winters under Montpeculiar's golden dome. ®

OLD-SCHOOL REUNION One of the premier local bands of the past decade, Belizbeha know how to work a crowd into one sweat-drenched, funkdrunk organism. Combining thick grooves, diva vocals and the golden-tongued flow of MC Fattie Bumballattie, the band's rare reunion gigs have become the stuff of local legend. This Friday, the collective gathers at Higher Ground to prove once again who got the funk.

JERRY'S KIDS A gospel musician since his youth, organ master Melvin Seals can conjure up some serious soul from the keys of his B-3. Hailed by Jerry Garcia as "the tastiest" keyboardist around, Seals played with The Grateful Dead front man for 15 years. Following Garcia's death, Seals formed JGB and kept on truckin'. More than a Dead tribute band, the group produces organ-heavy jam workouts that are deep and damn groovy. JGB kick off the Rusty Nail's Summer Concert Series this Friday in Stowe.

MANIC MONDAYS? Those irrepressible folks over at Big Heavy World have won yet another minor victory in the battle for more all-ages shows in Burlington: "Spine Church," a weekly series of all-ages gigs to be held most Mondays this summer at Club Metronome.

The shows will include local high-school groups as well as national touring bands, and they'll provide parent-pleasing safe, reliable and fun entertainment for the under-21 crowd. The B H W Casket Crew will be on hand shooting video and conducting interviews of the unsuspecting musicians and fanatics.

The whole party begins Monday, June 10, as Prevent Falls, Whippersnapper, Blind Luck and Yours Truly sidle up to the Metro stage. Skipping a week, the second "church service" hits town on June 29 and features Downslide, Force 57 and X-Acto.

More info will be available soon.

Want to take part? Contact Joe Beaulieu or Jordan Winkler at booking@bigheavyworld.net THE OTHER WHITE BEAT Pork Tornado, kings of the funkified groove-jam, have announced a weekly residency at Club Metronome that will last even longer than a "Golgi Apparatus" solo. Beginning Wednesday, May 29, the disco-funk quintet will grace the mid-week stage from

c^r p a g e 3 2 a

SEVEN DAYS

PAMELA POLSTON

June through September.

Billed as a warm-up for the Tornado's West Coast tour this fall, the gigs feature Phish drummer Jon Fishman, guitarist Dan Archer, drummer Phil Abair, bassist Aaron Hersey and saxophonist Joe Moore. The group has evolved from its modest, coverband beginnings to a formidable live act with original tunes to boot.

And with Phish in hiatus, the members' side projects are soaking up the spotlights. Jam-tastic!

CALLING ALL COMPOSERS With the tagline "open to anyone with 10 bucks and a song," the SolarFest Songwriter Showcase is reaching out to unsigned tunesmiths for a chance at their own 15 minutes of sun-powered fame.

The competition has grown into one of the main attractions of the environmentally friendly festival.

No criteria are specified, except you can't be signed to a label.

Everyone else who can warble their way through an original tune is free to apply. Contestants must send in a C D or cassette with their song, and the 10-spot, by June 15.

SolarFest folks will choose 10 finalists to play in front of a panel of judges at the festival. Three winners will receive cash prizes; the top two will also get studio time, courtesy of Southview Arts. Of course, it's always nicest to be #1: The winner will get to play on the main stage during SolarFest 2003.

DO GOOD DEPT Anybody think the dynamic duo of ice cream really wants to be rock stars? Following the arrival of yet another musicthemed flavor — the Dave Matthews Band-inspired One Sweet Whirled — Ben & Jerry's is teaming up with 104.7 The Point to raise cash for the home-free.

Wielding a Matthews-autographed guitar, The Point and ice cream makers are hosting an auction to benefit the Coalition for the Homeless. Comprising four organizations that aid needy Vermonters, the Coalition will receive all proceeds from the sale of lottery tix. And at $1 a pop, the tickets are a hell of a lot cheaper than a cone. Both are available at scoop shops in Burlington, Shelburne, Waterbury, Middlebury and Montpelier. Monday, June 3, the raffle winner will be picked live on The Point. To see a picture of the loot, log on to www.pointfm.com.

Honkytonk hipsters The Starline Rhythm Boys headline a C D release party and benefit show this Saturday at the Capitol Plaza Ballroom in Montpelier. All proceeds will go to the Onion River Arts Council.

SINGLE TRACKS "Half classical, half punk, yet neither at the same time" is how local instrumental rockers 13th Chair describe their textured and heavy-hitting brand of post-rock. If that leaves you petting your goatee, the group's new EP may help. The pessimistically titled How to Make Yourself Completely Miserable features three

of the group's originals. Available at Pure Pop and gigs, the EP will wet the whistle of fans anticipating a full-length, coming soon . . .

Speaking of shows, 13th Chair, along with Wreckinghorn, The Bazookas, The Foodstamps, October Skies, The Magic Is Gone, Weasle Head, Swingset Hands and Gargantua Soul, are crashing the Memorial Auditorium Annex this Friday for one heck of a big old show. Open to all ages and offering free soda, snacks and prizes, the gig will fill you up and rock you down . . . Didn't get invited to play at the Flynn Center for the Jazz Festival this year?

Radio Bean, Burlington's hippest coffee-and-tunes joint, is doing its own thing with "Open Jazz Sessions." June 4-9, from noon to 8 p.m., the North Winooski Avenue venue will provide an upright bass, piano, drum kit and mikes for any interested jazz jammers. Go blow your own horn . . .

Local bluesman Derrick Semler is cutting tracks at Low Tech Studios for an upcoming acoustic disc entitled All By Myself. Semler is also celebrating the 33rd anniversary of his first B-Town gig, which was at the now-defunct Chicken Bone Cafe . . . Still got a little Starline fever? Fiery frontman "Little Roll in'" Danny Coane will be sitting in with 106.7 W I Z N DJ Charlie Frazier this Sunday, June 6, for a little talkin' and tunes. Yee haw . . . Fallen angels Brett Hughes and Neil Cleary were busy last weekend in NYC summoning the spirit of country past with a little fourpiece dubbed WhatEverly Brothers. Playing tunes in the tradition of classic sibling acts like the Louvin and Delmore Brothers, as well as Don and Phil, the group held down the fort at 9C, along with Andy Cotton on bass and Burlington's own Bill Mullins on lead guitar . . . ©

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv MARTIN SEXTON, LIVE WIDE OPEN (Kitchen Table Records, double CD) — As someone highly critical of not only folk music but live albums and double-CD sets, I received Live Wide Open triply dubious. But it only made sense that the masterful singer-songwriter Martin Sexton would take a shot at a live album sooner or later. He's a musical triple threat, with a voice that can offer bellowing soul and a flickering falsetto in the same breath, a command of the guitar that evinces countless hours busking in Boston, and that undefinable stuff that separates the wheat from the chaff.

Live Wide Open, mixed with help from John Alagia (Dave Matthews, John Mayer), contains tracks from

shows recorded throughout Sexton's remarkable 80,000 touring miles*in 2001. A National Academy of Songwriters Artist of the Year, Martin plays only with drummer Joe Bonadio. Their creative potential comes through in every single track; without wandering into a "jam" * sound, the two play as a living remix, and the album has the fresh, unpredictable feel of a live show * . even to this seasoned fan. * Songs like the soulful and soaring "In the Journey," the simple | "Women and Wine" and the retrospective "Wasted" breathe life into even the most typical musical progressions and common keys. The. radio-friendly "Hallelujah" and "Black Sheep," although slightly out of tempo with the rest of the album, are deliberate and soulful revision^.

They join Sexton's rendition of the traditional "Amazing Grace" as soft, American folk lullabies with glowing images of angels in Las Vegas anc and a young outcast facing his smalll-town emancipation.

A hopping version of "Ice Cream Man" and the smooth-swinging "13 Step Boogie" add a little sweet to the salt and sour of Sexton's songs of personal struggle. "Beast in Me" and "Things You Do to Me," both popping renderings of tame studio tracks, showcase the duo at their funkiest..

Sexton strings in a ribbon of deep , blue with the back-to-back "Gypsy Woman" and "Can't Stop Thinking About You" — two dark and burn tales of love gone wrong.

Excellent sound quality and Alagia's deft mixing help Sexton's sound flow through 15 tracks and more than 90 minutes of music. The writing, execution, soul and savvy make this one of the best live albums I've ever heard. It should be required listening for any aspiring songslinger. Live Wide Open offers a stunning musical spectrum with gobs of soul and talent that, as The New York Times puts it, "amplify the sound of the ordinary heart."

Martin Sexton returns to Higher Ground this Thursday.

ARTHUR ADAMS, ALL I BELIEVE (self-released, CD) — What with all the Pro-Tools trickery and homestudio capabilities available on any iMac these days, it's pretty easy to self-record an album full of shimmering digital compositions. At the same time, technology has also made for many a lazy musician — why take the time to perfect a tune when a little knob-twiddling will cure any misstep?

Herein lies the reason Arthur Adams' All I Believe is so refreshingly beautiful. Recorded on four-track, filled with live instrumentation and all the odd hums, buzzes and mistakes that give live music its, well, life, this is a brilliant, modern, lo-fi symphony.

The indolent one behind Burlington's The Lazy Songwriter, Adams has jumped to the forefront of the local scene as a gifted songwriter and energetic live performer.

Putting the slack back into indierock while simultaneously landing a good smack on the faces of overly serious musician-types, Adams and company have become one of the Queen City's most intriguing bands.

Noted for having a fat stockpile of songs, Adams here releases a collection of tunes sans band that he's recorded sporadically over the past year.

The 20 tracks and nearly 74 minutes of All I Believe confirm that Adams indeed does not lack tunes.

Despite its length, the album hangs together surprisingly well. Due to Adams' songwriting talent and some clever track formatting, the disc grooves along in sweet, lazy bliss.

"Happy Sad Singalong" sets the tone for the album with a fat, sunny melody and simply strummed acoustic guitar. "I Must Be Blind" spices the formula with rolling piano riffs and whispered interlude.

Adams tackles a barrelful of styles here. "Right It Up" is spitting, up-beat punk. "ITCH (part one)" is a dubby piano-drone. "We Sang to Jesus" and the title track add twangy country-gospel.

Yet Adams' best tunes showcase his ability to pen heart-numbing, pretty love songs and inject them with humor and wit. Subtle handclaps underlie his strained vocals on "Under It." "Half Time" is the best song Whiskeytown never wrote.

Even the white-boy rap breakdown of "Goo, The Question (part two)" and the two Board of Canada-ish instrumental cuts are neither out of

place nor ill-conceived.

With such a solid first effort, especially one that rarely dips into his cache of quality Lazy Songwriter tunes, Adams proves himself a young musician of undeniable talent. Cant wait for the next 74 minutes.

BY M A R C AWODEY

T

he two exhibitions at Burlington's Flynndog Gallery this month are equally strong. Filled with references to geometry, Muffin Rays half of the show is called "Subscribing to Euclid." Her six large-scale oils on canvas are heavily textured and painted with gusto. Ray's works are filled with references to geometry. Jane Horner's art is more ethereal. Her "Spheres of Influence" includes a large installation, drawings, paintings and hanging sculptures made of crumpled wire and machine-gun shells. There's no obvious relationship between Ray's and Horner's works, beyond the fact that both possess a well-realized aesthetic and the experience and skills to create effective works.

While Ray's paintings are inscribed with precisely placed axes, they are not the geometric abstractions her show's title implies.

Rich impastos and forms from the natural world lie beneath her geometry, as Ray builds a bridge between the purity of mathematics and the vibrant messiness of nature in each canvas.

"Element III" is a 78-by-54-inch work with a large circle at its center, surrounded by a square border with a classical Greek motif.

Lines have been drawn into the wet paint that no doubt describe a Euclidean theorem. Ray's paintings are based on pale yellows, but other hues provide important accents in her broad flaxen fields.

"Element III" has pale blue flowers with long green stems in the upper right corner and buds within the circle. Red dots appear at various vector intersections.

These basic elements are repeated in "Euclid Game Board," an almost square canvas measuring 60-by-66 inches. The piece has a drawn grid

"Spheres of Influence," by Jane Horner tant flame. The piece consists of M-30 machinegun shells stuffed with bundled colored wire. The 13 shells stand on two shelves of plate glass that hang from the ceiling. " C C 4 6 W Afterwards" also uses the M-30 shells.

Here they dangle on varied lengths of string, and crumpled balls of gray-colored wire are also hung on the lines, resembling frozen puffs of smoke.

Horner's large installation, "La Vita Nova," takes the title of a collection of sonnets Dante composed early in his career. Many of Dante's early sonnets were dedicated to the love of his life, Beatrice. She passed away when they were both young, but she reappeared to lead the poet through The Divine Comedy.

The sonnets are known for their delicate lyricism, and Horner's visual interpretation has similar qualities. Long sheets of white satin billow in front of a fan, and sprigs of mint lie in a wrinkled plot of the white cloth underneath the hanging sheets.

The piece is about 10 feet in diameter and 15 feet tall.

Horner's paintings often consist of veils of color with a few feathery details hinting at form. "Ladder" has a series of irregular horizontals, as if the ladder were constructed of mismatched rungs climbing up the center of the piece. Horner creates a color field of darker values of blue and purples into vibrant yellows and gold, suggesting, perhaps, that the subject of the painting is a journey from darkness into light.

Horner's work seems to refer to spiritual planes with her references to Dante and allegorical use of color. Ray's works describe the figures of plane geometry while hinting at how they relate to natural forms. There is nothing plain about either of them. ®

Ray probably knows the precise meaning of every line and number in every piece, but these obscure conceptual nuances may confound viewers who are not mathematicians. Nevertheless, her works are so beautifully painted that they offer sensory rewards as well as intellectual challenges.

Horner's show is peppered with references to Dante. Her hanging sculpture "Selva Selvaggia" takes its title from the wild forest in Canto 1 of Inferno. Horner suggests flames in the sculpture — Dante was drawn deeper into the woods by a dis-

nvestigative journalist Kristina

Borjesson once got a lesson in censorship from Fidel Castro. As producer and co-writer for CBS Reports: The Last Revolutionary, an Emmy-nominated biography of the Cuban leader, Borjesson witnessed his interview with CBS anchor Dan Rather. "Dan said, 'Well, Mr. President, your press is not free. Why don't you have a free press?'" Borjesson recounts in a phone interview from her New Jersey home.

"Fidel Castro looked over at Dan and said, 'Your press isn't free either...The difference is, your journalists censor themselves.'"

Borjesson, now an £*-CBS producer, will be at Montpelier's Capital Plaza Hotel June 2, courtesy of the Vermont Local of the National Writers' Union. Appearing with her will be journalist John Kelly and Vermont writer Gerard Colby, both of whom contributed to Borjesson's new collection of essays by journalists who refused to censor themselves.

Into the Buzzsaw: Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of the Free Press (Prometheus Books, 392 pages, $26) features 18 writers recounting their frustrating and sometimes career-ending experiences.

They covered controversial stories like the explosion of TWA flight 800, the CIA's involvement in drug trafficking and Monsanto's attempt to suppress a report on bovine growth hormones. The book reads like a suspense thriller, complete with spies, secret deals and high-level sources who can't risk exposure.

Sound a little paranoid? Well, maybe.

But most of the contributors don't fit the stereotype of wild-eyed, wing-nut extremists — they've worked for CBS, C N N and PBS, written for The New York Times Magazine, Harpers and USA Today, and received a mind-numbing array of awards for their work, including The Society of Professional Journalism's Ethics Award, Edward R. Murrow Awards, a few Emmys and a Pulitzer Prize.

These writers' collective achievements and insider accounts lend Into the Buzzsaw a legitimacy that is difficult — perhaps even dangerous — to dismiss.

At the Writers' Union event, Borjesson and the other speakers will discuss their encounters with "the buzzsaw," the 47year-old editor's term for "what can rip through you when you try to investigate or expose anything this country's large institutions, be they corporate or government, want kept under wraps."

Borjesson, an Emmy-winning producer and alumna of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, will undoubtedly speak about the demise of her career at

CBS. After receiving critical acclaim for her work on the Castro biography, she was assigned t o cover the crash of TWA Flight 800.

That plane, you may recall, crashed into the Atlantic off the coast of Long Island shortly after take-off on July 17, 1996. The FBI and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that a mechanical failure was the

writers start implicating large corporations or the government. "Walk into the buzzsaw," she warns in her essay, "and you'll cut right to this layer of reality. You will feel a deep sense of loss and betrayal. A v shocking shift in paradigm...Those who don't know the truth will call you a conspiracy nut."

Contributor Gerard Colby, co-chair of the National Book Division of the National Writers Union, is no stranger to this layer of reality. As a freelance investigative journalist, he has not enjoyed the same level of access and prestige that accompanies a network news career. In his essay, "The Price of Liberty," he describes how an outraged corporate dynastry attacked his first book, DuPont: Behind the Nylon Curtain (Prentice-Hall, 1974), an unflattering portrait of the DuPont family.

Colby's narrative features an informer hired by the family to gain access to his research, a salesman from his publisher who leaked the unedited manuscript to the DuPonts, and a campaign, ultimately successful, to get the Book of the Month

and Evangelism in the Age of Oil (HarperCollins, 1995) is almost impossible. In his essay, Colby claims that HarperCollins declined to do more than one 2500-copy reprint despite a still growing number of advance orders. This means the book has all but disappeared despite positive reviews, including one from the Baltimore City Paper calling it "one of the most convincingly documented studies ever to indict financial power."

Colby remains undeterred — he and Dennett have nearly completed their second joint venture, a book about the U.S. involvement in the Middle East, also for HarperCollins. "I guess I feel like you have to tell the truth," he says, explaining his passion for delving into controversy.

"The alternative is the beginning of the end of democracy."

Colby, Borjesson and the other contributors to Into the Buzzsaw can at times read too much into events — Colby, for example, writes that he expected a disappointing court ruling after one of the federal court justices got up from the

EDITED BY KRISTINA BORJESSON probable cause. Borjesson's CBS-backed investigation, which included an informant at the NTSB who smuggled documents from the crash site, eventually led her to question the FBI, the NTSB and the military.

When CBS was slow to act on her evidence, Borjesson burst into a meeting of news executives and demanded airtime.

They refused. Shortly thereafter they fired her. She tried to take the story elsewhere, but became the target of scorn and derision among her peers.

As if that weren't bad enough, Borjesson's phone started acting up — she heard clicking, and sometimes the line went dead. And when she and journalist Kelly O'Meara teamed up for an Oliver Stone-sponsored documentary, O'Mearas laptop and and all their TWA documents mysteriously disappeared from the trunk of her car.

Borjesson admits that it sounds crazy, but she insists that this can happen when

Club to drop the volume from its Fortune Book Series.

Colby's essay also addresses the practice of "privishing" — a term used when a publisher secretly cuts the print run, advertising and promotions for a book in order to quietly kill it. Colby and his wife, journalist Charlotte Dennett, stumbled upon the industry term while interviewing Viking Press editor William Decker for a lawsuit they had filed against Colby's publisher, Prentice-Hall.

"It's a very common practice, according to Decker," explains Colby in an interview at his Burlington home. "When he testified along those lines [regarding the lawsuit], everybody listened very closely.

After all, he testified under oath about his experiences — 20 years as an editor."

The most frustrating part, adds Colby, is that the author never knows what has happened. "Other than the promotional tour, the author really doesn't know much about what's going on. And then he's told, 'Look, the book has had its run, get on with your life.'" Since the publishing company decides when and if to do reprints, finding a privished book can be extremely difficult.

Just try looking for Colby's — either of them. While finding the DuPont book is difficult, locating a copy of Colby and Dennetts tome, Thy Will Be Done, the Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller

bench to turn on a reading light for one of the DuPonts. But they raise serious questions and give readers compelling reasons to look beyond the "official" explanations of the government and the media.

Their stories strike a chord, especially as reports now suggest the government had some information about possible terrorist threats in the months leading up to September 11th. The book has received favorable coverage on independent media Web sites, and it may be about to cross over into the mainstream — last week Borjesson got a call from a producer with Oprah.

The editor is still sometimes surprised at the turn her career has taken. "You can't make this stuff up," she says of her experiences with the Flight 800 story. "It went from strange to stranger... My whole reality changed. It puts you in a very weird space."

She laughs. "You should see me," Borjesson continues. "I look like this housewife from New Jersey. Now all of a sudden I'm like this rebel or something...

But there's no turning back now." ® Kristina Borjesson, Gerald Colby and John Kelly will speak on Sunday, June 2, 1-4p.m. at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier. The event is free and open to the public. Donations welcome. Info, 860-4376.

TOUGH ENOUGH Lopez turns the tables on her abusive spouse.

ENOUGH*172

Need a Change of Pace?

Seven Days' employment section will put you on the right track!

I recently discovered just how much influence has been exerted by Jennifer Lopez's body of work. I already realized she's a popular and accomplished actress, of course. Everyone knows she also has a phenomenal recording career. My eyes were opened to an additional contribution .to the culture the other day, however, when I happened across an episode of the Ricki Lake show entitled, "I Want a Bigger Booty." The subject of the day's show, its host explained, was the desire on the part of many teen-age girls to have a more ample posterior, like J-Lo's.

As chuckleheaded as that program may have been, it wasn't half as •» moronic as Lopez's latest movie. The actress phones in her performance as an abused wife. Billy Campbell plays your standard Lifetime Channel psycho spouse. He's handsome, rich and, early on, attentive and devoted.

A humble waitress who goes by the nickname "Slim," Lopez thinks she's hit the marital jackpot.

At least until Campbell starts hitting her. She learns he's having an affair, confronts him with the discovery, and threatens to leave with their young daughter. Campbell responds with a right to the jaw and a detailed explanation of his rights as the family breadwinner, including the right to play around, the right to a well-kept home and the right to pound Lopez to a pulp should she question the setup.

Eventually, she does make a break for it, and the film turns into a total cartoon. I certainly don't mean for a minute to question the real-life horror faced by women whom the system fails to adequately protect in such situations, but give me a big-screen break: Wherever she goes, her husband magically finds out. We're supposed to swallow the idea that, since he's got some money and a corrupt friend in the local police department (Noah Wylie), there's no corner of the country beyond his reach, no move she can make that's safe from his detection.

Basically, what we've got here is a bogeyman story. Lopez might as well be married to Friday the 13th's Jason or Halloween s Michael Meyers, so preposterous and borderline supernatural are her stalker's powers.

Amazingly, the film manages to get even goofier in thefinalact.

Campbell surprises Lopez in her rented house, but the persecuted cutie has turned it into a two-story mousetrap, with all kinds of ridiculous Rube Goldberg gizmos. The husband is locked in when the wife makes her escape. As if that weren't low point enough, she then decides she's had it with life on the lam. Lopez takes martial arts lessons for three or four weeks and then comes back to town for a final face-off with the creep. Suddenly, she's not only a lethal ninja but a master of espionage.

She breaks into her husband's palatial new pad by picking the lock — even though he clearly has an expensive and activated security system — employs sensitive electronic devices to scan the place for weapons, and then lies in wait for him.

It's come to this? Now we go to the movies to see a young wife beaten up and hounded to the point where she makes up her mind to pummel her abusive hubby into Puppy Chow? Is everyone having fun?

Even if Enough weren't essentially sick and mean-spirited s t u f f — which it is — it would reek for plenty of other reasons. The acting is comic-book caliber. Michael Apted's direction is shockingly subpar. This is the guy who gave us Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorillas in the Mist and the 7 Up, 14 Up, etc. documentary series, for goodness sake. The story is a mess of unexplained developments and glaring loose ends. The moviemakers pretend it condemns domestic violence, but the entire picture builds to a glorification of it. How big a rip-off is this?

Spend your hard-earned money on a ticket and you're guaranteed to feel like a complete booty. ®

COLLEGE

PLACID PLAY: I've been interested in director Susan Seidelmans career ever since she burst onto the scene in 1985 with Desperately Seeking Susan. The black comedy, starring Madonna in the title role, was a smash hit, even though New Yorker critic Pauline Kael dismissed it as a flat example of "New Wave postmodernism."

Seidelmans spotlight began to dim as she went on to deliver disappointing Susan-less films — Making Mr. Right and She-Devil come to mind. So I'm apprehensive about her latest effort, Gaudi Afternoon, screening at the third annual Lake Placid Film Forum next week.

Seidelman will join in panel discussions such as "Seriously Funny: Using Comedy as a Means of Social Commentary."

An Adirondack gathering graced by a hip indie aesthetic, the Forum has carved out a niche with thought-provoking seminars and master classes, as opposed to the celebrity-studded press conferences at other festivals. Guests include not just screenwriters, but novelists whose work has been adapted for the movies. In the past Michael Ondaatje {The English Patient) and John Irving (The Cider House Rules) have attended; this year Russell Banks {The Sweet Hereafter) and Elmore Leonard {Get Shorty) represent the literary world.

That is, unless you count John Sayles, the guest of honor at a Saturday night dinner. Although he's authored two novels, Sayles is better known for penning and directing projects like Lone Star.

His new venture, Sunshine State, is a meditation t on family, hometown roots and Florida's runaway real-estate development. Expect an anti-capitalist but strident-free take on Southern sprawl starring Angela Bassett, Edie Falco and Timothy Hutton.

This year, Lake Placid is a destination for 15 Burlington College students earning three credits each in a course called "The Festival Experience." "They'll each keep a iog, attend films and discussions, then do a research paper," says Barry Snyder, who heads the school's cinema studies department. "Everyone's been all abuzz about this."

The academics are likely to bump into other Vermonters in the little Olympic village. Jay Craven of Peacham will show The Year That Trembled and collaborate in a Forum roundtable on "Film Financing in Today's World."

Door to Door is in the lineup, but the lead actor — part-time Woodbury resident William H. Macy — is not expected to be around.

He co-wrote this drama about a salesman with cerebral palsy that also features Helen Mirren and Kyra Sedgwick.

When it comes to gab sessions, no one is likely to be tongue-tied at "Risky Business: Actors on Acting," with participating thespians like Campbell Scott, Tony Shaloub and Sedgwick, who is married to Kevin Bacon. Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times and Jack Garner of Gannett News Service will be among the journalists on a panel — my personal favorite — that asks the question: "Are Critics an Endangered Species?"

Women in the industry will be the subject of a colloquium that includes Seidelman, Joan Micklin Silver {Crossing Delancey), Mira Nair {Monsoon Wedding) and Jill Hennessy, a former "Law & Order" prosecutor who now plays a medical examiner on NBC's "Crossing Jordan."

Nair's Hysterical Blindness, with U m a T h u r m a n , Gena Rowlands and Juliette Lewis, centers on two New Jersey girls searching for the meaning of life. Shaloub appears in his directorial debut, Made-Up, which examines the nation's cultural obsession with youth and beauty. The Seidelman picture, a comic detective story set in Barcelona, has Judy Davis, Marcia Gay Harden and the prolific Juliette Lewis.

Foreign-language fare ranges from the Iranian Secret Ballot to the Chinese Orphan of Anyang to the Inuit Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner, the opening-night presentation about two brothers confronting troublesome neighbors and an evil spirit in their Canadian "Eskimo" community. In an indigenous mode without subtitles, Sherman Alexie's The Business of Fancydancing follows a successful, gay Native American poet going back to his Spokane reservation for the funeral of a childhood friend.

Lake Placid also offers the German narrative film Mostly Martha, as well as the documentaries Sister Helen and Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House. There certainly are plenty of female names in this year's titles, but, alas, none of them is a Susan. ®

Dear Cecil, My relatives who lived during World War II insist that all the scrap-metal and rubber drives, supposedly done to preserve resources for the war effort, were only for propaganda. None of the metal and rubber collected was ever used for anything. Is this true?

— Anthony Allen Los Angeles We live in a cynical age, Anthony. World War II scrap drives were a lot like the federal government, Dennis Rodman and the Oscars: They partook of a considerable measure of hot air and bullshit. But not 100 percent.

In 1942, when the first scrap drives were organized, the war was far from won, and frightened civilians at all levels were anxious to do something, anything, to help. So campaigns were organized to collect not just metal and rubber but kitchen fat, newspapers, rags and so on. These drives were extremely successful — millions of tons of material were collected. It was only afterward, contemplating the assembled mounds of junk, that those in charge of the war effort asked themselves: What are we going to do with all this crap?

World War II shortages weren't just home-front propaganda. Japanese conquests in Malaya and the Dutch East Indies cut off access to natural rubber supplies. President Roosevelt urged Americans to

turn in "old tires, old rubber raincoats, old garden hose, rubber shoes, bathing caps, gloves" and so on at their local service stations. Just one problem: There wasn't (and still isn't) an efficient way of recycling rubber products.

Rubber's complex chemistry and the variety of formulations in use made recycling slow and expensive and the resultant material inferior to virgin rubber. The real solutions were development of synthetic rubber and conservation (gas rationing was primarily meant to save tires, not gas).

Many of the other materials collected couldn't readily be recycled, either. Many who lived through the war remember collecting old newspapers, but apart from using them as packing material and such there was little, to be done with them. A 1941 aluminum-scrap drive to help the plucky Brits pulled in 70,000 tons of aluminum pots and pans, but only virgin aluminum could be used to manufacture aircraft.

Iron and steel were a different story, up to a point. These metals could be easily melted down and used for munitions. But its not like the U.S. lacked domestic sources of iron ore. The real challenge was gearing up American industry for war production.

That meant everything from increasing steel-making capacity to building more factories and designing better weapons.

Recycling of steel and iron unquestionably helped, though.

One campaign netted five mil-

lion tons of steel in just three weeks, and scrap-metal drives continued for most of the war.

Useful though recycled steel and iron were, some scrap drives went overboard. In addition to old streetcar tracks, wrought iron fences, church bells and the like, people carted off relics of previous wars, including cannons, park statues and other memorials. When memorials were being rebuilt after the war, many wished they hadn't been so hasty.

There's no denying scrap drives and other World War II home-defense efforts were meant in part as morale builders. Some seem pretty loopy in retrospect — air-raid blackouts in Nebraska, for example. But a few were surprisingly effective. In 1943-victory gardens produced 40 percent of the country's fresh vegetables. Salvaged kitchen fat was used to produce glycerin, an ingredient in drugs and explosives. Then there's the Civil Air Patrol, organized in 1941 to watch the coasts and assist in search and rescue operations.

Less help than hindrance, right?

Not so. In the 18 months before the Navy took over patrol duty, the CAP spotted 173 U-boats, located 363 survivors of sunken ships and downed aircraft, and reported 91 ships in distress — lest you think all home-front volunteers were paunchy air-raid wardens in tin hats.

dada-ists Chicago is known for its soulful vocalists and bluesy horn sections. Native sons SONIAdada mixes those ' traditions with rock, gospel, funk and a touch of psychedelia. The genre-bending 12-piece has been touring the country since 1990. They return to New England to benefit Child and Family Services, playing two Granite State shows that are well worth a road trip — and a lot closer to home than the Windy City.

anim-auteurs Its amazing that anyone aspires to make cartoons; animators must create 24 frames for every second of screen time. But Dartmouth's eighth annual Animation Festival features 70 works by students willing to put in the time. Featured are Corrie Francis' Ash Sunday, nominated for a Student Animation Academy Award, sticky-handed Sarah Danzi's claymation Times Tale and a piece by sweet-toothed Zeynep Oz, who uses colored sugar to "paint" motion pictures. They and 47 of their patient peers prove that the future of animation might look more interesting than next year's Disney feature.

Eighth Annual Dartmouth Animation Festival. Wednesday, May 29.

Loew Auditorium, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 7 & 8:30 p.m. Free. Info, 603-646-2422.

Looks like you'll need to visit the Vermont Astronomical Society's fixer-upper for starry-eyed galaxy gazers. Learn how to set up your equipment, keep it clean and spot the Milky Way.

Here are some fun bovine facts: (1) Heifers have four stomachs.

(2) Cows rechew their cud.

(3) This Saturday, you may be a ble to win $500 watching a cow defecate. The Third Annual Cowplop Fundraiser is one of the richest events at the Essex High School Spring Carnival, which supports staff salaries at the Essex Teen Center. Contestants "buy" a plot of pasture, and if a cow chip lands on it, you win — no bullshit. What else are you gonna do on a lazy Saturday afternoon?

drop everything!

How many college students will throw away a perfectly good fraternity sweatshirt — much less a slightly worn armoire? Rather than filling Burlington's sidewalks with piles of usable refuse, dump it where it counts: The Student Move Out Project turns part of Loomis Street into a mecca for lava-lamp-jettisoning students and junkhungry scavengers. Whatever's left and in good shape at 4 in the afternoon goes to ReCycle North, the Salvation Army or the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf.

Your mini-fridge is fair game — but leave your limp carrots out of it.

EDELWEISS CAFE, WINOOSKI, 3 - 5 P.M., FRIDAY, MAY 24.

Sometimes plans don't go quite as expected, but Peter Burns can deal. He thought he'd try something new — invite the general public to sit down and swap stories — but the only folks who showed up were Burns himself, his 11-year-old daughter Alice and a curious reporter. Thinner-skinned organizers might have called it a day, but Burns went ahead and turned disappointment into an entertaining, if intimate, event.

With Carol King playing over the sound system and hot drinks in our hands, we sank back into the cushy blue couches at Winooski's Edelweiss Cafe and exchanged personal anecdotes.

Peter told one story about when he was a kid in the '50s. His father told him that Russian spies flying over the U.S. used baseball diamonds to judge the scale of surrounding buildings. The Pentagon knew this and was considering building odd-sized diamonds to throw off the Commies' calculations.

The story puzzled young Peter. How could the Russians' alleged system possibly work, given the vast difference between the sizes of Little League and major league fields? The whole story could only be a Russian ruse, Peter reasoned, a brilliant example of Communist double-crossing. The U.S. would be lured into building wrong-sized ball fields. A whole generation of freedom-loving youth would grow up playing ball on the wrong-sized fields. The national pastime would be destroyed and, with it, the American character.

It was the afternoon's best story, but not the only one. And Burns is determined to give it another go. "Tell your readers I'll try one more time," he suggested.

"And he'll do a wonderful job," piped up Alice. "And if you don't come, you're doomed."

— Ruth Horowitz

SEVEN DAYS

page

13a

May 3 0 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): When I launched my career as a horoscope columnist, my Aries editor advised me, "Always emphasize the Big Three. Money, love and power are what people care about most."

When he realized after a few months that I'd just as soon write about Jungian archetypes, tantric rituals and lucid dreams, he downsized me. To this day, I'm chronically worried I don't give you Rams enough lowdown on the Big Three. Luckily, that's not a problem now, because I can in good conscience assert that the future is pregnant with opportunities for you to become more powerful by spending money on love... to grow richer by being a powerfully sensitive lover... and to attract more love by bringing greater subtlety to your pursuit of money and power.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I'm pleased to announce that the cosmos has given you poetic license to be very demanding this week — as long as you're not rude, frivolous or unreasonable. Here are some examples of ultimatums that will pass the test: "I demand that everyone has to get drunk on the truth with me;" "I demand to grow younger every day;" "I demand that everyone I love has to help me undo the black magic I've inadvertently performed on myself."

On the other hand, Taurus, the following ultimatums are not accept-, able: "I demand tribute, you fools;" "I demand that a surrogate mommy has to cut all the crusts off my sandwiches;" "I demand that the river has to flow backwards."

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I think it's high time you dreamed up a few new vices. The old ones barely tweak your guilty conscience any more, and they certainly don't pack the educational punch they once had.

Personally, I'd love to see you try some really rambunctious diversions, like eating ripe figs while playing

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20with rubber duckies in a public fountain with your silk pajamas on, or toppling the icons and idols you once believed in but no longer do or finally risking what you were forbidden or too inhibited to do when you were in tenth grade. But of course it's totally up to you how you want to depart from the same old boring mischief.

P.S. Don't you dare tell anyone I've suggested this.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I propose that you play a prank on yourself, Cancerian. While putting on your shirt or blouse some morning, fasten the top button in the second hole, the second button in the third hole, and so on all the way down.

Then preserve this dishevelment the rest of the day, summoning all your dignity in the face of odd stares and snide comments. If anyone says, "Hey, your shirt's buttoned wrong," reply, "No it isn't. I buttoned it this way on purpose." And the purpose of this exercise? To practice maintaining your composure and sense of self in the face of a twist that might normally throw you off-center. It'll be a great rehearsal for the other challenges headed your way.

L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Before proceeding any further, please arrange for a bright companion to rub your shoulders while thinking tender thoughts about you. This is no joke. I urge you not to read on until you are feeling well loved and appreciated.

Why? Because it will drive home the point that you are most likely to express your full potential in the coming week if you are steeped in the sympathetic influences of people who see the best in you. Don't just wait around and hope for this to come your way by accident. Get out there and make it happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's the Rock Star Phase of your astrological cycle — a time when you have license to inject your confidence with the metaphorical equivalent of steroids. Therefore, I'm pleased to grant you the authority to whisper or bellow the following truths thousands of times in the coming week. 1) "I am a graceful genius who motivates people to do what's difficult but right." 2) "My well-hung mind is a fount of healing surprises." 3) "I am a fascinating fertility god/goddess with a knack for continually reinventing the art of liberation." Now make up 10 more affirmations to add to these, Virgo.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I predict that even those of you who are devout atheists and orthodox agnostics will have a brain-cleansing, heart-expanding, sphincter-relaxing religious experience this week — though you might go through contortions trying to deny that's what it is.

Just imagine what awaits you, then, if you already kinda sorta believe there's more to reality than what your five senses reveal to you. Let the divine mutation begin! Can you say Hallefreakin'-lujah?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Before I become a geezer, I hope to eradicate all my "isms." I've made stunning progress at purging the sexism, racism, classism and looksism I absorbed while growing up. I've still got a way to go with my ageism, egotism, and capitalism. And then there's signism, as in showing favoritism towards certain signs of the zodiac.

I've worked hard to be absolutely impartial, but lately I've received emails from readers complaining that I'm way too soft on Scorpios. One Capricorn said my messages to you

resembled "mushy love letters." All I can say in my defense is that I get turned on by anyone who devotes ingenious courage to dismantling their dogmas. Your sexy efforts in this regard have more than earned my mushy love letters. Please continue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What do you say we get drunk, stay up all night, and talk about our relationship, Sagittarius?

Unless of course you're an alcoholic, in which case let's not get drunk. But in either case, let's definitely err on the side of playful poetry, not smarmy sincerity. Let's promise never to use the expressions "I'm feeling vulnerable" or "I hear what you're saying." Instead, let's communicate our true colors by finger-painting on the walls and singing our favorite songs at the top of our lungs. We can tell each other's fortunes, stage a burping or laughing contest, and make funny faces until we're so punchy and our defenses are so low that we spill all the priceless secrets that are aching to erupt. Any other ideas? Write and tell me at zenpride@earthlink.net.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): What's the greatest lie in my life? Maybe the way I try to hide how sensitive I am to people's criticisms.

Or maybe my tendency to pretend it doesn't bother me that my music has never gotten the attention I wish it had. And how about yourself, Capricorn? What's the most glaring dishonesty in your life? Whatever it is, I predict it'll soon crawl into your lap and demand that you change your relationship with it. Whatever you do, don't spit on it, ridicule it or ignore it.

Feb. 18): I hope you're in the habit of remembering your dreams each morning. You had a really important one recently. In it, you were exploring the pleasures of chocolate-flavored toothpaste and a brand new aerobic workout that involved a tandem "sexercise bicycle."

Here's my interpretation of the dream's meaning: In your waking life you're on the verge of finding ways to make self-discipline feel really good.

One more thing, Aquarius. Do you recall that other dream you had, in which I gave a guinea pig a makeover before escorting it to its big audition?

The guinea pig was a symbol for you.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I dare you to write a letter to the person you'll be one year from today.

Tell this Future You that you've taken a sublime and exuberant vow to accomplish three amazing feats by then. Say why these feats are more important to you than anything else in your life. Describe them.

Brainstorm about everything you'll do to make them happen. Draw pictures or compose collages that capture your excitement about them. Promise that you're ready, for their sake, to sign your passion on the bottom line.

When you've finished this letter, mail it, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope, to me at PO Box 150628, San Rafael, CA 94915. I'll mail it back to you in June of 2003.

the love counselor

Dear Lcla, I have been divorced for ic yean and am locking fjcr someone with whom I can start a new life. The other day, cut cfi the blue, I received an e-mail from a boy I "dated" in junior high and have not thought of in almost 30 years. He told me he's unhappy in his marriage, that he's never stepped loving me, and that he wants to pick up where we lejjt oft when we were 14. He lives in Chicago, but says he's willing to relocate to Vermont. What should I tell him?

Tempted in Tunbridge Dear Tempted, Marital dissatisfaction is arousing a common fantasy in this man: He sees in the idealized memory oft your childhood romance the solution to all the problems he's experiencing in his adult relationship.

If you seriously wish to explore a future with him, first let him finalize his divorce and take the time to recover emotionally. If his love really has survived

charge your credit card from any phone, anywhere, anytime:

1-800-710-8727 1 -900-226-8480

or respond the old-fashioned way, call the 900-NUMBER:

all calls $ 1 . 9 9 a minute. Must be 1 8 +

these 30 years, he should be willing to wait a little longer — and come to you unencumbered.

Love, Lola
