JAZZ SAXISM? While recently attending the Discover Jazz Festival, it discour aged me to notice the under-repre sentation of women instrumental ists in the programming. Checking the opener for Chucho Valdez, the Vermont Allstate Jazz Orchestra, which represents the “creme de la creme” o f Vermont high school jazz players, I started to think “what is this, the 1950s or something?” O f 15-odd players, only one was a young woman (Lisa Little, St. Johnsbury Academy). And, what’s she playing? Baritone sax! While baritone sax is a rocking instru ment, it certainly wasn’t featured as such at this show. Typically, it was relegated to backup lines and thickly harmonized melody — not one featured melody, nor, God for bid, an improvised solo. I’m wondering, what are the circumstances in our educational system that gradually weed out female instrumentalists from their place in the limelight? Because no way are you going to get me to believe that it’s any difference in their abilities as musicians!
S
a
l
e
Likewise, while it’s obvious that women instrumentalists are under represented in the music industry, there’s no reason that Vermont has to buy into that! For instance, how many Vermonters had ever heard of Chucho Valdez before this festi val? Couldn’t the programmers introduce the genius of Rebecca Mauleon instead? Same thing with Elvin Jones’ opener, “Tain” Watts. Elvin being the obvious ticket-sell ing draw, the first half of the show could have easily featured a remarkable female drummer, such as... Okay, so it takes a little more effort to search out these less-obvi ous choices. Big deal. It’s about time Vermont made it more of a priority to represent women! It’s time to inspire those girls to demand that solo! Because how else are they going to get the practice that it takes to be great? How are they going to be even interested in striving for excellence when it’s so obvious that they’ll never get rec ognized anyway? New millennium aside, it’s time that women musi cians get an equal voice, as well as

PAIN IN T H E PARK The folks responsible for the “Pocket Protectors” on the corner of Shelburne Road and Home Avenue [June 7] should stop con gratulating themselves long enough to notice that no one actually uses this so-called park. Why? Well, in addition to being utterly inappro priate to the site, it offers nothing that would invite the weary shop per or passerby to spend any time there. The “benches” are hard, cold concrete without backs; on a sunny day there is no shade; and the entire design faces the noise and fumes of the endless traffic on Shelburne Road instead of shield ing the site from them. Added to the physical discom fort is the sense of being encircled by winged predators (vultures come most immediately to mind). Questions of artistic merit aside,

UVM Seeks Dismissal Of LaTulippe Lawsuit Without media fanfare, the University of Vermont has quietly asked Judge William K. Sessions III to throw out Corey LaTulippe s infamous hockey hazing lawsuit. In papers filed late last month in U.S. District Court in Burlington, UVM moved for “summary judgment.” The school’s lawyers argue it’s a waste of time to proceed with the case in the wake of the sworn depositions LaTulippe and his mother, Brenda LaTulippe, gave in early May. The evidence, they claim, now refutes the claims made by the former wannabe Catamount goalie. On December 10, the Hockey Hazing story erupted as Mr. LaTulippe filed a sizzling, X-rated lawsuit in federal court. He named as defendants the university, President Judith Ramaley, Mike Gilligan, the men’s hockey coach, Richard Farnham, the athletic director, and seven team members. The lawsuit was so hot, Gov. Howard Dean immediately jumped onto the UVM ice with both skates, and he brought Attorney General Bill Sorrell with him. The following month President Ramaley canceled the 1999-2000 hockey season when she learned the players had lied to school offi cials and the investigators they’d hired. Bad boys! • For all the money in the world, the best PR firm on Earth couldn’t have gotten more national publici ty for Vermont’s state university. Unfortunately, all of it was bad. But like the wind, things change. Eventually the truth gets out. On May 3, Ritchie Berger, UVM’s hired-gun attorney, was finally able to question Corey LaTulippe under oath. During two days of persistent questioning by Berger, Mr. LaTulippe admitted that several of the charges made in his blockbuster lawsuit were simply untrue. And the now-famous UVM drop-out admitted he knew they were untrue when his attorneys, Gail Westgate and Mary Kehoe, filed ^the lawsuit. Corey also admitted he had lied to the attorney general’s investigators. Money sure makes people do strange and nasty things. According to the transcript of his deposition, LaTulippe told Mr. Berger that he had never been “forced” to use a fake ID to go drinking with the boys. That he had never been “forced” to turn over his credit card to pay for a team outing in Maine. That he never really believed he was going to be forced to have carnal knowledge of a four-legged animal that produces wool and goes baa. And most important of all, LaTulippe admitted under oath he didn’t really believe he was cut from the team for complaining about hazing to university officials, as he had claimed in the lawsuit. The Williston teenager admitted to Mr. Berger he simply wasn’t as good as the other three goalies competing for positions on the UVM team. What was lost in the media blizzard of reported binge drinking, puking, naked push-ups and wee-wee holding was the truth. The reputations of good and decent people were smeared. Back then, the air was supercharged by the specifics of the gross initiation rituals of the prevailing sports culture. Five months later, under a summer sun, the record is clear that the university responded within 24 hours to the very first oblique and non-specific allegation of hazing made by LaTulippe’s first lawyer, Gail Westgate. Five months later, the record indicates Corey LaTulippe had no interest whatsoever in pursuing a UVM education. What he did have was a burning desire to play big-time ice hockey at any cost. These days Mr. LaTulippe is on his third attorney, Scot Kline, a former Chittenden County state’s attor ney. Scot used to be known as Scot “Decline” in law enforcement circles for his reluctance to prosecute cases that were anything but a sure thing. But at pres ent, LaTulippe’s chances of getting a fat six-figure set tlement aren’t looking real good. Given his admission of making false allegations, Corey has about as much chance of soaking UVM for cash as he has of winning the Stanley Cup. Mr. Kline is on vacation this week and unavailable for comment.
Wedding Bells — Turns out the biggest political event Saturday was not Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords’ Shelburne-to-Rutland whistle-stop campaign kick-off. All you had to do was compare guest lists, and it was obvious the wedding of state Sen. Vince IllUZZi (R-Essex/Orleans) was the hot political ticket of the day. Lola Aiken was there. So was state Sen. John Bloomer, from Jeezum Jim’s hometown of Rutland (please don’t tell the Rutland Herald). Even the President was there! No, not him, rather UVM Prez Judith Ramaley. In a “traditional” marriage service at Ira Allen, Vince the Prince, immigrant’s son and King of the Northeast Kingdom, took as his princess the tall, tan and beautiful Eileen Maher of Derby Line. Essex County Assistant Judge Alan Hodgdon presided. State Sen. Bill Doyle (RWashington) read from Genesis — the passage about how Adam lost his rib, and you know what happened next. State Sen. Dick McCormack (D-Windsor) sang “Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?” a cappella. And a former Statehouse leg end, Timothy Corcoran, current ly the Bennington town clerk, read from Corinthians — “...and the most important of these is love.” About 200 guests later cele brated the occasion aboard The Spirit of Ethan Allen II on a glori ous, bipartisan cruise into the depths of Willsboro Bay on the New York side of Lake Champlain. Everyone was simul taneously struck by the unusual guest list spanning Vermont’s political spectrum. Left, right and center were present and accounted for. From Democrats like Ed Flanagan and Sens. Elizabeth Ready and Jim Leddy to Republicans like Sens. Julius Canns and Jim Greenwood, and Mary Hahn Beerworth from Vermont Right to Life. Rep. Al Perry’s dance band set the tempo. And the Fourth Estate was well represented, too. Besides yours truly and Paula Routly, Seven Days co- W: publisher, Rich Cowperthwait of St. Albans’ WWSR * ! and The Burlington Free Press, Susan Smaliheer of the Rutland Herald and Dave Gram of the Associated Press witnessed history Bride and groom are off to Italy and Greece for their honeymoon.

Escape From the Dog Pound? — Rep. Michael Flaherty of South Burlington made it official this week. He’s hanging up his spikes after three terms in Montpeculiar. “I’m turning 65,” he told us. “It’s time to move on.” Flaherty was the unofficial leader of the Blue Dog Democrats, that feisty band of about 15 moderate-to-conservative Democrats who inhabited the House. The Blue Dogs came to prominence after the 1998 post-Act 60 election that cut into the com fortable liberal Democrat majority. Ail of a sudden the guys that run the show — Speaker Michael Obuchowski and Rep. John Tracy, the Democrat leader — couldn’t ignore the moderates in their cau cus if they wanted to get anything passed. After being ignored for two terms, Flaherty and his colleagues were suddenly recognized and their views sought out. But the Blue Dogs marched to the beat of Gov. Howard Dean and they formed a block that stymied the liberal leadership. >Flaherty grew up a Red Sox fan. Ted Williams was his hero. He told Seven Days Monday he wanted to go out like Ted Williams. You see, Ted Williams hit a home run in his last Major League at-bat. It actually came with two games left on the schedule. He sat out the last two games, said Flaherty. Mike Flaherty hit what he considers his home run at the Statehouse in the closing innings of the session. He led the fight to defeat the bill that would have moved Vermont down the road to regulating prescrip tion drug prices. “A bad bill,” said Flaherty. It was “unconstitutional,” he said, and “would have put Vermont’s only drug wholesaler out of business.” So far, two other Blue Dogs are joining Flaherty in retirement: Rene Blanchard of Essex and Hank GretkOWSki of Burlington. We’ll miss ’em one and all, though Obie and Tracy sure as hell won’t.

Computer Games in Real Life Seven-year-old Perley King used skills he learned playing a computer game to drive his sisters car three miles from his home in Tacoma, Washington, to a grocery store to buy cereal.

• District of Columbia police Sgt. David Goodridge, 48, was con victed of stealing $1600 worth of perfume during a raid, despite his defense that he acted out of stu pidity. According to his attorney, Goodridge thought he was enti tled to the perfume under an obscure D.C. law that allows police to seize perishable items. The prosecution pointed out per fume is not perishable and that the law was designed to preserve the value of perishable property for the owner, not provide good deals for police officers. • Cornell University researchers found that inept people are con vinced they are smart, funny and correct, whereas people who have some ability tend to be more selfcritical. The reason, according to Justin Kruger, co-author of the study, is that incompetents lack the ability to evaluate their perfor mance realistically.

Disorder in the Court When a jury in Fort Worth, Texas, cleared Robert Washington, 23, of murder, he did a celebration dance while his mother jumped up and exchanged high-fives with the people around her. Judge George Gallagher, who had warned the courtroom against any outburst before reading the ver dict, cited both with contempt, sentencing the mother to 30 days in jail and Washington to six months. “It was as if he had caught the winning touchdown and spiked the ball in front of the defensive back,” Gallagher said.

During the attack, the vil lagers smashed Tetsuo Yamahiro, 40, over the head with a rock, killing him, and burned tour bus driver Edgar Castellanos, 35, to death. Police said rumors persist in Mayan villages that foreigners abduct children, then sell them or their body parts, but no cases have been documented. ®

AND THE WINNERS ARE... Between Jay Craven, John O’Brien, Nora Jacobson and David Giancola, Vermonters produce at most a half-
S t e a lt h y
dozen films a year — not enough to generate a whole lot of award envelopes. That’s why the Bessies are an occasional, as opposed to an annual, production of Burlington City Arts. Approximately every other year, the film and theater communities converge to celebrate their accomplishments in a civil union of Oscar and Tony. Although this years event was shorter, friendlier and more casual at St. Michaels College — and the bar definitely closed too early — even the “Logger” put on a clean shirt last Friday night to recognize movies and plays made in Vermont since the last bash in 1998. Actor Rusty Dewees swapped his toque for a tux to emcee the event, replacing Burlington City Arts director Doreen Kraft in the Billy Crystal role. He got extra exposure from a short put together by Giancola, entitled “How to Kill Rusty Dewees,” which showed all the ways in which the agile actor has been bumped off on celluloid. But Dewees also took a direct hit Friday night. Despite his own wildly popular stage show and major roles in the movies M ud Season, Ice Breaker and My Mother’s Early Lovers, he failed to get nominated for a single Bessie. The hardest-working actor in Vermont should have been in the running for at least three of the 10 — after all, The Logger got more Vermonters out to the theater than any other stage show in centuries. Was presiding over the prizes, as a volunteer, meant to be honor enough? Equally perplexing is how Vermont-made movies like Wedding Band, Spin the Bottle, M ud Season, In Jest, In Claires Classroom and Outside CWjust got ignored, or maybe forgotten. “We pretty much leave it to chance that people are going to let us know about their stuff,” says Paul Ugalde, who organized the event. Could be time to rethink that. Competition was plenty fierce in the theater department. In fact the “theater academy” was unable to pick a single winner in the category of “Outstanding Male Performance.” Awards went to GUS Kaikkonen for his portrayal in Lost Nations Richard III, and to Dan Jessie, who played the Cowardly Lion in the Lyric Theater production of The Wizard o f Oz. Jessies wife, Betsy Jamison-Jessie, took “Outstanding Female Performance” for her role in the Stowe Theater Guild production of Man o f La Mancha. “Outstanding Theater Production” went to Vermont Stage Company for M ad River Rising, penned by Middlebury playwright Dana Yeaton. Burlington Free Press readers awarded the “People’s Choice Award” to A Christmas Carol, as staged by the Essex Alliance Church. O n the cinema side, it was almost a clean sweep for Nora Jacobson, director and producer ol My Mother’s Early Lovers, which will soon be available on video. The Norwich filmmaker took home “Outstanding Film Production” and “Peoples Choice” awards, while her leading man, George Woodard, walked off with one for “Outstanding Performance in Film.” “It was Nora’s night, and it was nice to see George get his due,” says Ken Peck, a film professor at Burlington College. The two remain ing film awards went to creators at opposite ends of the age spectrum. Seasoned animator John Douglas demonstrated “Outstanding Creative Vision” with his computer-generated short, “The Whitehouse.” Gen Xer Seth Neary cleaned up with “Outstanding New Voice in Film” for “Beerlington,” a high-energy, skateboarder’s study of the Queen City. The scenes from the street were edgy enough to get the attention of Mayor Peter Clavelle, who joked from the podium, “I want to know where the Burlington police were when that was being made.” He got even more laughs for directing attention to the sculpture installation sus pended from the skylights overhead — six gauzy cocoons that look exactly liked used rubbers. “At least we know you have six big men on campus,” he said in a rib meant for St. Mike’s prez Marc vanderHeyden. Later in the night, the Belgium-born culture czar defended the condom creation with an equally entertaining anecdote about his long-standing commitment to public art. Hang in there.

NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND: Posters are popping up all over
c e l e b r a t i o n . $ 8 5 . 0 0 per person
Montpelier in deference to a local “underground” music writer with a national profile. Camden Joy caught the attention of Spin five years ago for the rock ’n’ roll rantings he plastered all over New York City. “Posted on telephone poles and garbage bags, Joy’s tracts displayed a hyperventi lating, loose-gasket appreciation of popular culture,” the music mag noted. Comparing him to the late Lester Bangs, writer Richard Gehr went on to suggest Joy “may define a new critical beast: the rock critic as stalker.” In that same obsessive spirit, Joy’s local fans — or disciples? — are expressing their appreciation via manifestos in downtown Montpelier. Signed by the “Sporadic Essay Association,” the posters started appearing about a month ago, bearing cryptic messages like “Where are you, Joy Dimaggio?” and “Monsieur Joyeux, Black Francis draws girth from D. Boon.” The imitators even got the technique right, Xeroxing their messages out of a notebook, the way Joy did. “It is very flattering,” Joy concedes, although he fails to derive any deeper meaning from the random references. “The people at work are worried about me. But I’m like, ‘It’s okay. I used to do this. I’m fine.’” © •

With its newly restored Paramount Theater, Vermont's second city makes a play for prosperity By Kevin J. Kelley ny place with a name like Rutland is bound to have some image problems. And, sure enough, Vermont’s second city continues to be the butt of obvious jokes. It might just turn out, however, that the beleaguered burg will have the last laugh. This conservative, mainly working-class city has come far in the past decade — not all the way back to the preemi nence it enjoyed a century ago as a manufacturing, railroad and marble quarrying center, but far enough, perhaps, to impress Queen City sophisticates willing to leave their pre conceptions behind as they motor 90 minutes south. Visitors from Chittenden County should refrain from making a U-turn once the aesthetic blight of Rutland’s Route 7 strip comes into view. Downtown lies just to the west of that Shelburne Road look-alike. But before turning off, carefully scan the east side of Route 7 for the small sign marking the Chaffee Art Center. Housed in a century-old Queen Anne mansion, this gra cious gallery with a homey atmosphere puts up 10 exhibits a year, each featuring work by some of its 200 member-artists. Rutland-area children and adults also value the Chaffee for the 50 art classes it offers. Impressively, the facility has oper ated continuously since 1961. “Our 39-year presence testifies to the fact that many peo ple around here are passionate about the arts,” says Chaffee director Nick Raeburn. While acknowledging that the cen ter’s location amidst gas stations and fast-food drivethroughs “may not be ideal,” Raeburn thinks the mix of art and commerce suits Rutland well. “I really enjoy directing an arts center in a blue-collar town,” he says. If the visual arts helped sustain the city through past periods of economic despondency, Rutland’s boosters are hoping the performing arts will accelerate the recovery of recent years. The newly reopened Paramount Theater is more than just a potential catalyst that could power down town into a new era of style, culture and prosperity. Dark and forlorn for nearly 20 years, the lovingly restored old vaudeville house shines today as a symbol o f Rutland’s rebirth. Reduced to running porn movies just before being shut tered, the 85-year-old theater has staged a sensational come back. The exterior is nothing special, lacking even a mar
A
quee. But inside, the reproduction pink fabric wall-covering, wood-frame seats and gold filigree make the Paramount more intimate and elegant even than Burlington’s Flynn Theatre. This was no miraculous resurrection, however. It took two full decades to bring the theater back to life. Sen. James Jeffords, a native son, persuaded the federal government to kick in about one third of the $3.5 million cost of renovat ing the Paramount. The remainder was raised through a combination of state and city grants, along with a few big donations from anonymous benefactors and hundreds of smaller gifts from city and county residents. “It’s awesome that the Paramount’s open again,” says Jen Stanley, a clerk at the Sunshine Natural Market a few doors down the street. “It’ll be great having shows to go to there, but just as important is that the community came together to make it happen.” But does the community include enough theatergoers to keep the Paramount going? The initial indicators are encour aging. The first two big shows — Arlo Guthrie with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, and a Broadway musical revue — sold out the 850-seat hall. Director Don Hirsch has big ambitions — hoping, for example, to arrange a reading by author Toni Morrison this fall. Hirsch is realistic enough to realize, however, that the theater won’t be attracting stars of the same magnitude as Will Rogers, Ethel Barrymore and Harry Houdini — all of whom played the Paramount when it was at full sparkle. Nor will the Paramount attempt to compete with the Flynn, which can draw from a metropolitan population at least three times larger than Rutland’s. Hirsch is booking mainly smaller-time acts, while making the theater available for conferences and annual meetings. This summer’s lineup includes John Chappell, a Mark Twain impersonator; the Sammy Kaye swing orchestra; the Green Mountain Mens Chorus; the Marble Valley Players’ staging of Kilroy Was Here, and those old folkies, The Kingston Trio.
o matter how many patrons the Paramount may attract, the Queen City to the north won’t have to worry about Rutland turning into a rival Princess City.

"People here have to look to the future with optimism, but there's danger in thinking Rutland is going to become another Burlington." - Dick Courcelle, Downtown Partnership “I wish we had more events and festivals and a lively street life like Burlington does,” says longtime Rutland resi dent Lori Mesli. Pausing as she prepares a tented site in downtown Depot Park for Jeffords’ re-election campaign kickoff, Mesli muses, “It’d also be nice if we could just walk on the shopping streets without having to deal with cars.” Lacking a pedestrian plaza such as the Church Street Marketplace, Rutland’s downtown isn’t nearly as lively or chic as Burlington’s. There’s also no lake to look out on, nor is Rutland’s hill district home to a large university. The lessthan-picturesque setting and the absence of an academic . industry and its attendant student scene makes Rutland resemble any number of small American cities. While it may not be teenage wasteland, “Rutland’s not the most happening town” for young people, says Sunshine r clerk Stanley. There’s no Higher Ground here, and the local youth center “doesn’t do much,” observes Greg Jones, skate boarding specialist at the Sound Barrier on Center Street. Somehow, though, that outlet for punk and slacker gear has managed to survive for 15 years, partly through the proximi ty of Zero Gravity, an indoor skate park — an amenity Burlington lacks. “Kids from the nearby neighborhoods are regulars here,” Jones says. “Plus, the cops don’t hassle skaters downtown as

utland’s downtown formula has clearly been a success. Some 50,000 people a week — many from outside the city — come to shop at the chain stores. Wal-Mart’s pioneering center-city big box attracts a sizable share, but it’s the Price Chopper supermarket that brought the mall back to life, notes Jeffrey Wennberg, Rutland’s mayor during the makeover. At the time of its opening, the $6 million market was Vermont’s biggest. It’s still one of the largest, and contin ues to register 40 percent of all supermarket sales within a 10-mile radius. A nine-screen movieplex in The Plaza ensures that downtown Rutland isn’t entirely empty after dark. There’s enough of a night time trade to support a few yupscale restaurants, including Tapas on Merchants Row, the Wine Room bistro adjoining the Coffee Exchange, and the Rutland branch of Sweet Tomatoes. A couple of others also man aged to find a sustaining clientele, even before the reopening of the Paramount a few months ago. Having a loyal customer base is vital, says Tapas owner Patty

much as they do in Burlington.” Watch the traffic, though, because Rutland now eagerly kow tows to cars. As unmissable evi dence of its automotive orienta tion, there’s a 19-acre parking lot smack in the city center and oppo site the handsome architectural suite of Merchants Row. As part of a 1960s urban renewal initiative, a suburban-style shopping center called The Plaza was built on the site of the Rutland Railroad yards, which had fallen into disuse as rubber wheels supplanted steel. The underlying theory — compete with the ’burbs by bringing their conveniences into the core — may have made sense at the time. But if ever a city’s heart looks hollowed-out, it’s Rutland’s. Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder, however. The sight of hundreds of cars filling the shop ping center’s lot is positively heart warming to local boosters. “Downtown is first and foremost a commercial center,” says Matthew Sternberg, director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority. By the late ’80s, longtime Rutlanders recall, The Plaza had become a moribund mall, mirror ing the bedraggled downtown. It was then that a group of civic sav iors began devising the revitaliza tion plan that would eventually, restore the shopping center, and much else besides. Consideration was given at that time to putting The Plaza’s parking lot out of sight in back of the stores. But the buildings were already in place and prospective retailers weren’t keen on that alter native. “Customers need to see that there’s plenty of parking avail able,” Sternberg maintains. “There’s also safety and security problems with having a store’s exits both in front and in back.” Besides, he adds, “a lot of thought and expense went into designing the facade of The Plaza to give it a historic look.”

Sabotka, because “the Paramount isn’t going to make as much of a difference as many people think it will.” Only about 25 percent of an 850-strong full house will dine out on show nights, and not all of them will do it downtown, Sabotka estimates. “I don’t think we’ll see more than a 3 to 5 per cent boost in business overall. But,” she quickly adds, “that’s a lot better than nothing.” As Sabotka’s hang-in-there atti tude suggests, Rutland is nothing if not tenacious — and nothing ever comes easy for Rutland. It’s a community comprised mostly of Reagan Democrats clinging to an industrial-era economy but refus ing to be left behind, even as Burlington has come to dominate and define urban Vermont. “Rutland is always going to he challenged,” says Dick Courcelle, former head of the Downtown Partnership. “People here have to look to the future with optimism, but there’s danger in thinking Rutland is going to become anoth er Burlington or develop into an economic dynamo. We’re not going to have large, high-tech firms locating here.” Indeed, no sizable employer of
"I really enjoy directing an arts center in a bluecollar town." - Chaffee Art (enter director Nick Raeburn any sort has moved into the area in the past decade, notes former mayor Wennberg. He attributes the stagnation mainly to poor highway access, a source of resent ment in Rutland ever since plan ners decided to build the interstate highway along a White River Junction-Burlington axis rather than up the western side of the state. The price of the electricity provided by Central Vermont Public Service acts as another heavy drag on the local economy, adds Wennberg, now manager of the county solid waste district. “The principal factors imped ing Rutland’s growth are that you can’t easily get in and out of the place, and that CVPS charges some of the highest rates in the U.S.,” Wennberg says. But the boom reverberating throughout the country has muf fled most of the muttering about Rutland’s precarious economy. General Electric Aircraft Engines, the area’s largest manufacturer, has so many orders these days that it’s looking for temps. Some other big employers are doing well, too, but the city is nevertheless battling a budget crisis that Wennberg, a sixterm Republican mayor, describes as “a perennial thing.” Rutland voters refused in March to add a dime to an 85cent property tax rate that hasn’t risen in many years. As a result, current Mayor John Cassarino was forced to offer early-retirement incentives to veteran municipal
employees. Ten of them, including five in the Fire Department, took the bait. Cassarino, former direc tor of a local soup kitchen, insists that city services won’t suffer sig nificantly. The unsuccessful tax increase proposal was intended to help compensate for a $21 million falloff in the city’s grand list. Most of that sum resulted from the clos ing three years ago of the Tarnbrands tampon factory that employed 260 people. Reminders of Rutland’s vulner ability appear with disturbing reg ularity. Last month, for example, the Chittenden Bank suddenly closed its branch at the intersec tion of Center Street and Merchants Row. How long will this sizable space remain vacant? In Burlington, a strategically situated storefront clad in polished green marble would be rented almost overnight. In Rutland, it will prob ably take a bit longer.

hile its initiators and cur rent overseers are quick to describe Rutland’s down town revitalization effort as an unqualified success, neutral observers might express a few reservations. The Marble Valley Regional Transportation Center, for instance, can be fairly termed a complete fiasco. This 600-space parking garage was planned on the premise that CVPS would build a corporate headquarters nearby. That never happened. As a result, the $17 million facility remains woefullyunderused six months after its opening. Another attempt to compen sate for Rutland’s transportation inadequacies — a downtown Amtrak station — has proven far more successful. Unlike Burlington, Rutland enjoys fairly expeditious daily rail service to New York and points south. Rutland’s proximity to two of Vermont’s biggest ski areas repre sents a further competitive advan tage. Only now, however, are city leaders turning their attention to ways of linking downtown with Pico and Killington. “We made a conscious decision in the early ’90s not to do that immediately,” redevelopment chief Sternberg explains. “The thought was that downtown should first be designed to suit the needs of the resident market. Focusing on that would also make us less subject to the fluctuations of the tourism industry.” As the ski resorts’ constituency ages, however, more vacationers are showing interest in alternate destinations after a few days on the slopes, Sternberg says. “It’s our task to attract them downtown when they want a break from ski ing.” The scenario of gray-haired snow bunnies browsing Center Street boutiques remains over the horizon, however. Today, and for the next few years, Rutland will have to rely on resources already available to it. “The city is doing quite well these days...considering,” Mayor Cassarino says. “We’re seeing good things happening down town, though I realize a lot o f it is fragile.” ®

though negotiating the vast site — over four million items are up this week — keeping an eye on the transactions and, not least, photographing, scanning, e-mail ing, packing and shipping can be extremely time-consuming. But it obviously eliminates the con siderable labor and inventory costs, and dem anding schedule, of a retail store. And so the emergence of eBay raises some worrisome questions for traditional browsers: Will on-line auctions spell the end o f small shops in Vermont? If enough owners close, finding eBay more conven ient and lucrative, will the num ber o f antique-hungry “pickers” dwindle in the state? And will the frenetic, “everybody’s doing it” buying and selling on-line make it harder for professional or casual antiquers to find items at regular venues — country auc tions, estate or garage sales, the Salvation Army? Although it is still too early to jum p to conclu sions, there is no doubt that on line antiquing has changed the face o f the business, probably forever. “EBay is my life,” declares Dawn Setzer, who closed her tiny Battery Street vintage clothing 1 store, Stage Presence, in March after less than a year. She now sells strictly on-line. This from a woman who confesses she could n’t even send e-mail not that long ago. “I considered keeping the store going,” Setzer says, “but I forgot that I hate retail.” Setzer realized that her niche was too specific for a relatively small market like Burlington; while she had her loyal cus tomers, there simply weren’t enough o f them able and willing to pay the price for high-quality, one-of-a-kind vintage clothing. O n eBay, that spiffy Western jacket everyone admired but w ouldn’t buy in Burlington could be gone in a m atter of hours — often for far more money than Setzer could charge at her store. In the South End, Three Old Bats closed its doors last week after three years in business. Virginia W inn and Kathy Valloch — there were really only two “bats” — had pioneered at the long-vacant location on

. Flynn Avenue next to the rail road tracks, and later attracted V Upstairs Antiques to move in overhead. W ith the arrival of W histlestop Antiques last fall in the newly renovated Flynn Dog building across the street — and with Route 7 Antiques and Treasures just blocks away on Shelburne Road — the neighbor hood truly became an antiques “destination.” T hat’s why regular patrons were surprised and saddened to hear that Bats was closing, just when things were looking up. But it wasn’t quite lucrative enough for Valloch, who’s send ing a child to college this year. “We were going in the right direction, but it just wasn’t going fast enough,” W inn sums up. She didn’t want to run the shop alone, so, after a closing sale, she packed up the remaining inven tory and took it home. From now on, loyal customers will have to look for “vtbats” — W inn’s screen name on eBay. Bats has done limited selling on-line all along, W inn says. “In any given week we probably have 20 to 30 items on eBay.” Over time she’s developed a feel for what sells best on the site — and what collects dust in the shop. “Some things are delicate, ephemeral, particularly paper things,” she says, “so we might put them directly on eBay. Fraternal organizations’ books, anything related to the Masons, Shriners, those kinds o f things are very collectible. But they might sit in the store forever.” At Upstairs Antiques, owner Dave Robbins says “people who walk in the door are my primary customers, and every bit o f mer chandise is offered to them first. After a period of time, if no one seems interested, I’ll put it on line.” Though he enjoys the store — and is looking for a com pati ble retail business to replace Three O ld Bats — he under stands the appeal of going on eBay: “W hy have a shop when you can sell to millions of cus tomers in the entire world?” Harding, who is in her third retail space in five years, has been selling on eBay, too, lor about three years. W hen she closed her Battery Street shop last year lor health reasons, she upped the business on-line. Harding admits her present six-month-old store

better or worse than the people who operate it, but the majority of transactions must be satisfac tory or it wouldn’t be so popular. Despite a couple of disap pointm ents, Harding says she and her “significant other” have found some wonderful items on eBay in m int condition. O n the selling side, Lobel touts the 18inch plastic, “really disgusting” Alien figure he sold for $500. And Setzer is pretty tickled about that 25-cent hat she found at the Salvation Army and sold for $300 on-line. “O f course, those stories are few and far between,” she concedes, “but even if you pay $1 or $2 and sell for $10, in retail that’s a hell of a m ark-up.” The bottom line is, serious dealers, or even casual sellers, will not last long on eBay if they’re unscrupulous. W ith millions of attentive “eyeballs” on the site daily, word travels fast. Naive buyers, though, could still be ripped off at least once. Despite fears o f its hegemony in the market, eBay may not turn out to be the “big box” that drives small antique businesses under. Just as some shoppers would rather look, touch and try on before buying, many anti quers prefer to keep shop — even if they use eBay on the side. Setzer has a theory: “There will be people interested in having shops who say, ‘I’m not going on eBay, even though I know about it,’ and they’ll end up basing their shops’ prices on eBay,” she says. “Maybe they’ll even come down in price, and attract ‘eBayers’ in.” Dave Robbins o f Upstairs Antiques is one such owner. H e’s sold only about 15 to 25 items on eBay, he estimates, and is adam ant about the virtues of hum an interaction. “I’d rather talk to people and make a little less money than sit down and do e-commerce,” he says. “Over the Internet this conversation would take hours. There’s absolutely no substitute for eye contact.” ®

As I said, the Spillane’s guys navigate about town like there’s no tomorrow, but I had never before seen one o f them involved in any kind of accident. A part of me felt bad for all concerned; another part would have given anything to be a fly on the wall later that night when the Miata owner showed up — via taxi, of course — at the Spillane’s service station to claim his towed car. Let’s call him “Randall” — a divorced, bald ing, fortysomething guy who’s deep into his mid-life crisis. Having driven many such parking scofflaws over the years, I can tell you that Randall is frustrated and peev ed. After a fun night on the town, the realization that his vehicle has been towed is not what he had in m ind for a nightcap. He storms into the office, twentysomething girlfriend in tow, and launches into a description of his “situation.” “There were no signs at that parking lot, I tell you, absolute ly no signs! W hat the hell is the matter with you people?!” The beleaguered, late-shift Spillane’s cashier — let’s call her “Marcy” — who hears this all night long, couldn’t care less. She sifts through the stack o f work orders, looking for the one pertaining to this guy’s car. T hen she remembers. “Sir, did you say, ‘the dark green Miata?”’ “Yeah, why?” “Well, there’s, like, a slight problem .” “O h, that’s just great,” Randall says. Maybe he turns to his girlfriend at this point and rolls his eyes. “W hat is it? Was it towed to a different lot?” “No, it’s here, all right.” “Oh, ‘it’s here, all right?”’ Randall mimics with a sarcastic grin. His exasperation is rising visibly. “T hen what exactly is the problem?” “Well, we totaled it.” An eerie look comes over Randall’s face. His eyes glow with a manic light. His body begins to tremble. He looks like he might leap over the ser vice counter and go for Marcy’s throat. Randall opens his m outh, but no words come out. He stares straight ahead, then he says — slowly, evenly, calmly — “PLEFFIC MERVYN R IG :N E.” (Z)

As we hurtle into the new century, more o f us are indeed under greater surveil lance. People in unprecedented numbers are being tracked day and night, at work and play, by tiny cameras, their most inti mate conversations m onitored by miniature microphones. But Big Brother isn’t watching. Big Brother couldn’t care less. We are filming, m onitoring, broad casting and watching ourselves — with and w ithout the help o f traditional electronic media.

A
business started right here in the USA with that 1973 PBS series, “An American Family.” For 12 weeks viewers hung on every dysfunctional word uttered by the Louds as they struggled under the unblinking gaze o f the camera to cope with domestic stresses — everything from a seismic marital rift to the very public com ing-out of
dopey “Road Rules”-style team challenges. For example, com peting teams race through the dense jungle to find the fresh water left for them by the show’s producers, rival tribes dive for a sunken treasure chest containing life-sustaining sup plies, etc. This, naturally, leaves too little time for the bickering, back-stabbing and escalating
Don’t look now, but your TV and your PC had cyber,sex while you were out an S L in the process, spawned a , viewing revolution. the Loud’s gay son. Colorful, glib and clearly empowered by the spotlight, Lance Loud may well have been the first o f a new species — the non-celebri ty celebrity. Given the American origin o f Truman-esque shows, it’s ironic that the creators of the CBS reality juggernaut, “Survivor,” had to find their inspiration in a wildly popular Swedish production — in the same way ABC carbon-copied “W ho W ants to Be a M illionaire?” from a phenom e nally successful British game show. For those o f you w ho’ve just returned from a remote island yourselves, “Survivor” is the wildly popular hybrid of Robinson Crusoe, Darwin and M T V ’s “T he Real W orld,” in which 16 contestants have been isolated on an island off the coast o f Borneo, split into com peting “tribes,” forced to fend for themselves against the elements and left to live off the land. T hey meet once a week in a tribal council to choose the next contestant to be sent packing. T h e bikini-clad saga made television history recent ly for two things: It w ent head-to-head w ith “M illionaire” in the ratings and won. A nd it got someone besides Tom Green to volun tarily ingest a rodent. I’m betting, though, that “Survivor,” too, will prove to be a flash in the cathode pan. The castaways are personality-free, for the most part, and the pro gram devotes too much time to
interpersonal tensions which comprise the principal appeal o f these high-pressure lab-rat experiments. Besides, the people aren’t anywhere near as hungry as they pretend. Exhaustive research (logging onto the show’s Web site and a related link or two) has revealed they have, in fact, a secret stash o f all the rice and beans they can eat. So w hat’s the life-and-death struggle here — seeing who can survive the longest w ithout a Double W hopper and fries? W hat I expect will happen is that CBS will shoot itself in the foot when it unveils its car bon copy of the wildly popular D utch show, “Big Brother,” early next m onth. Sort o f an overcrowded, high-stakes ver sion o f those sites where people broadcast their private lives by means o f personal Webcams, the program will sequester 10 contestants in an 1800-squarefoot domicile — coincidentally built on a sound stage right across from where “Gilligan’s Island” was filmed. Their every stir-crazed movement will be captured by 28 cameras and 60 microphones, and broadcast five nights a week throughout the summer. If that doesn’t sound like enough voyeuristic access, fear not — you’ll be able to spy on the hom e’s occupants via the show’s Internet site 24/7. T he original show was the real thing and broadcast every movement made in both the bedroom and bathroom (and I
do mean movement), as well as goings-on in the more communal parts o f the house. This being the only civilized nation in the world with a “no nudity” clause in its Constitution, that sort o f thing w o n t be happening here, but I would expect a festival o f interpersonal con flict, passion and claustro phobia unprecedented in American television. There’s no denying the pioneering role M T V pro grams like “The Real W orld” and “Road Rules” — both now in their ninth seasons — have played in setting the stage for the real ity revolution. Jonathan Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim /M urray Productions single-handedly invented the format, which has since been duplicated down to the smallest detail on virtually every reality show in their wake. Watch five minutes o f even a vin tage 1992 “Real W orld” and then five minutes o f “Survivor,” and you’ll be stunned by the similarities. My favorite o f the cur rent wave is the Bunim / Murray brainchild, “Making the Band,” though I think a better title might have been “Hey, Hey, We’re The Backstreet Boys.” Have you caught this? The idea is, we get to watch over a period of weeks as roly-poly im pre sario Lou Pearlman — the goofball Svengali behind The Backstreet Boys and ’N Sync — takes us through the process of assembling a third boy band. H unky young applicants from across the country are housed, “Real World ’-style, and taught how to sing and dance in unison — even how to conduct themselves in public when the media is present. Gradually they’re whittled down to a group o f five, who will record and release a single, entitled “All For Love,” which will very likely become a huge bub blegum hit in real life. W hat a surreal hoot this is, and w hat an insight it provides into the culture’s obsession with celebrity. A craving for — no, a sense o f entitlement to — fame is clearly present on a genetic level in the show’s young competitors. It’s just a mes merizing spectacle to watch them strut, throw tantrum s and assume mannerisms o f the accomplished and over privileged before they’ve even made the final cut. If, a century or two from now, anthropologists or aliens want to understand what became o f our civiliza tion, all they’ll have to do is pop this puppy into a VCR and gape.

By Leslie Aylsworth he question Charles Johnson has probably heard most over the past 22 years is, “Just what does a state natu ralist do?” Even when he retired from that position last month at age 57, co-workers joked that they still wanted to know the answer. So did I. T hat’s why I met Johnson last week for a walk on Little River State Park’s nature trail in Waterbury. Happily he didn’t conform to my “nerdy scientist” stereotype at all; the highly respected expert on Vermont’s natural envi ronment proved to be as personable as he is knowledgeable. The Stevenson Brook trail winds along the brook through lush floodplain woods and past several stone wall relics built by settlers in the mid-1800s. Black flies greeted us at the trailhead, their sharp bites warning us it was their season and their neighborhood. But Johnson ignored the flies as he began to explain his former job — which, it turns out, was as rare as some of the species he’s studied. “When I became the state naturalist in 1978, the only previous state naturalist in Vermont had been Zadock Thompson, who wrote The Natural History o f Vermont in 1853,” Johnson reported. After Thompson either died or left, the position died with him, and it remained “o no one filled it for more t __ tury. Johnson was the second and the last — state naturalist in Vermont history. Hired initially by the state as a park ranger, Johnson moved on to a job as a naturalist at Brighton State Park in Island Pond. After four years, he took a new posi tion as biologist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. W hen Johnson tried to resign, the Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation asked what they could do to keep him. “I said, well, there is that old state naturalist position,” he recalled. Commissioner Jim Wilkinson reactivated the job, got the legislature to reauthorize it and offered it to Johnson. “The attraction of the job was that it never was the same,” Johnson said. “One day, I could be in a park with a naturalist setting up programs, the next day with some wildlife biologists looking at state lands for acquisition or management, and the next day talking to a school group or garden club, or giving a workshops on fern identification or animal tracking in winter. And, there were always letters to write, calls to return and reporters to talk to.” Over the years, Johnson was involved in numerous landacquisition projects protecting thousands o f acres through out the state. He is most proud o f helping to found Vermont’s statewide naturalist program to educate park visi tors about the nature around them. At 25, the program is one of the oldest in the country. The naturalists, usually stu dents, live in the park, take people on hikes, conduct nature workshops, set up nature trails, inventory the natural charac teristics and plants and animals o f the park, and produce informational literature. At its peak several years ago, there were 17 naturalists in place. Some visitors to the states parks actually planned their vacations around the program. Johnson also has authored two excellent resources on the states natural areas: The Nature o f Vermont in 1980, and The Bogs o f the Northeast in 1985. As his second book reveals, Johnson is partial to Vermont’s wetlands. “There are a whole bunch o f different bogs I like — Peacham Bog in Groton State Forest is one of my favorites,” he said, adding to his list areas along Lake Champlain such as Button Bay and Kingsland Bay, where an undeveloped tract called the Hurlburt property juts out onto the lake with limestone cliffs. “I like portions o f Isle La Motte, with its fossil coral reefs and the old growth forests, like Lord’s Hill, The Cape in the Green M ountain National Forest and Williams Woods in Charlotte,” Johnson continued. “T hat’s what’s so
T
interesting about Vermont — so much diversity in a small area. You can go from the granites of the Northeast. Kingdom to the limestones of the Champlain Valley, and they are two different worlds.” O n the trail, I soon observed Johnson’s easy familiarity with nature. He pointed to a low plant with heart-shaped leaves. “This is wild ginger,” he informed. “What we do at home sometimes is collect the roots — not picking it from state land, of course — then boil it up, dry it, roll it in sugar and make a wonderful ginger candy.” He indicated another plant with a long, drooping, single stem and small cluster of white flowers on the end. “False Solomon Seal’s flowers ripen into red berries that taste very much like licorice,” he said. Further down the path, he paused to give me a brief les son on ferns — a lacy lady fern here, a feather-like ostrich fern there. There are 50 varieties in the state, he said. As the trail turned sharply left and uphill, a small, agile, reddishbrown bird began to call from a nearby tree. A veery, Johnson said, that seemed to resent our intrusion. Although we were walking on the same path, Johnson and I were experiencing two different worlds. My vision was limited to tall trees, green plants and biting flies. His includ ed sweet-smelling Canada mayflowers, poisonous baneberry
University of Illinois. Shortly thereafter, in 1974, Johnson arrived in Vermont for the job at Brighton State Park. “There were no naturalist programs around like they have now,” he said. “Endangered species weren’t considered in land management. Now the state has four or five biologists employed full-time just to deal with non-game stuff.” Johnson noted the increase in both individuals and organizations offering nature education around Vermont since he came to the state. “You can go to any area and find a whole slew of workshops on wildflower identification, but terflies, geology, peat lands and wetlands,” he said. “It took the pressure off of me to be doing that sort of thing full time, but on the other hand, it makes me wonder about people’s connection to nature.” The proliferation of nature-oriented classes could be seen as a good thing, Johnson mused, but could also suggest that people are losing their connection to nature. “It worries me that environmental education comes in a classroom as an hour a day, taught like kids are taught math,” he lamented. “It becomes a segmented part of their life. Instead of nature being within us, it is out there. It becomes an intellectual thing rather than an experiential thing.” Still, Jofcg many “through nature” and suggests that more organizations awareness of ecological issues and process es. “I think it is good,” he said simply. “Let’s hope it pays off.” Since his so-called retirement, Johnson said he’s busier than when he worked full time. For one thing, he’s building a row boat and plans to “take off” when it’s done. “I can pull it behind the car and drop it in a lake somewhere and just have a day of peaceful fishing,” he said. He’s also taking Italian classes for an upcoming trip to Italy, and working on several new books. One — a collaboration with Vermont Life magazine — is about identi fying landscapes through fall colors. Appropriately, it’s due out this autumn. Also in the works is a more personal book about how Johnson developed his love for nature living on the Elizabeth Islands. W ith his wife Nona Estrin, a community activist and fellow naturalist, he’s also producing a “seasons of New England” book. It combines her field drawings and watercolors with dozens of his essays on the seasons. After 16 years together, Johnson and Estrin decided to tie the knot this summer, at their home in East Montpelier. Alongside the book projects, Johnson manages to squeeze in reading, running, biking and hanging out with his 24- and 26-year-old sons. “So I’ve got a few irons in the fire to keep me busy,” he noted, downplaying as usual. When Johnson left the state naturalist job, it didn’t so much disappear as split in two. “The bigger portion became sort of a super-bureaucrat, operations director for the . Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation, with direct control over the forestry, state parks and state lands divi sions,” he explained. “The naturalist duties, which had start ed to decrease over the years, were taken over by the Natural Heritage Program, which focuses on doing the in-depth sci ence, monitoring and rehabilitation of natural areas.” Not surprisingly, Johnson maintains strong opinions about conservation and Vermont’s eco-diversity. In addition to the state’s official programs, though, he insists private efforts are invaluable. “Depending on the variables, I think the individual can play the most important part in conserva tion,” he said, “because everything that gets done starts with an individual. I’ve seen amazing things done by just one per son with the right passion, drive, persistence and willingness to work with others.” Charles Johnson is a case in point. ©

This naturalist knows more than just the species’ names; he’s familiar with the intimate details of their lives, such as where the grosbeak could be found eating breakfast, or the soil preferences of calcium-craving trilliums. Returning to his naturalist history, Johnson said he had worked a good deal on the Northern Forest Land Conservation. The project, which involved New York, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, was “looking for ways to conserve the 26 million acres of northern forest land threatened by conversion to other uses,” he explained. “Conservation involves a lot of desk work and bureaucracy if you are going to get results.” It’s hard to imagine Johnson shuffling papers; he seemed destined from childhood to spend his life outdoors. “The outdoors has always been there for me, and I can thank my parents for that,” he confirmed. “My father went to medical school with one of the Forbes, who offered our family the use of an old farmhouse with no running water or electricity on a 10-mile, private island at the end of the Elizabeth Islands, near Martha’s Vineyard.” Johnson was six months old at the time. For the next 23 years, his family spent every summer on the island. “Our closest neighbor was a lobsterman and his wife who lived on the next island, and took us to shore once a month for supplies,” he recalled. “There were no cars, no TV and no radio. So nature became part of how I look at the world. The combination of the solitude and an intimate association with nature bred my love of nature and writing.” As an undergraduate at Wabash College in Indiana, Johnson studied botany and zoology, then decided to pursue a master’s degree in art history. The Vietnam War interrupt ed his studies, but, after four years with the U.S. Coast Guard, he returned to graduate school. By that time, howev er, nature called: He got a master’s in wildlife biology at the

PfW IIC MOC HOOT? He is already railing against NAFTA, the new economic rela tionship with C hina and the multi-nationals, mostly in terms of the “loss o f American jobs.” However articulate and passion ate his rhetoric, one doubts he will be able to reverse the power ful trends toward economic internationalism. Could Sanders be more help ful to his cause and to America’s future? Rather than pursuing his current reactionary line, he could drop his shop-worn rheto ric, consider the inevitability o f the coming process o f interna tionalization, and work out a proactive and positive position. ? a W hat America will need in this new economic world is a better-educated citizenry. The root problem in todays econo my is our antiquated education al system. It was designed to produce hum an grist (Sanders’ labor constituents) for the m an ufacturing world during the Industrial Revolution. We des perately need a new and improved educational system that will produce a labor force capable o f being part o f the cre ative, highly technical economic environment o f the future. If America is to prosper, she will let her “old economy” industries migrate abroad, where cheaper and far less-educated labor forces will take care o f those less technically dem and ing, mechanical jobs. She will need to concentrate on the more technical and difficult economic activities dem anded by the “new economy.” Sanders might consider dropping his unflinching and unhelpful support o f Big Labor’s reactionary focus on the short term maintenance o f the status quo. It might be a terrible thought for the old Socialist, but Sanders could play a highly con structive role in preparing America for the future by w ork ing to increase the value and rel evance of the education o f our youth and the reeducation o f our existing labor force. ® H aviland Smith is a retired CIA Station C hief who focused on Soviet and East European issues. He lives in Williston.

WONDER LAND Hold on to your earplugs, it’s gonna be a very loud birthday party. That would be the 10th anniversary tour of the heavy-rock label Wonderdrug, which has given amped-up voice to the likes of SciSSOFfight (see review), Honkeyball, Burlington’s own Non Compos Mentis and Tree — recently voted “Outstanding Hardcore/Metal Band” at the Kahlua Boston Music Awards as well as the “Best Local Extreme Act” in the W FNYJ Boston Phoenix music poll — among others. In league with the homies at Big Heavy World, Wonderdrug brings “The Hellbender” to Higher Ground this Saturday (a must-to-avoid if you’re the quiet type), featuring Tree and Scissorfight along with the industrial-strength Chainsaws and Children and other local heav ies Torsion, Evenmind and Pleasant Tense. I personally cannot vouch for what a “heavy metal spoken word” artist does, exactly, but that’s what Duncan Wilder Johnson will bring to the stage. And as if all this were not enough, an outfit called Shard reportedly mixes bagpipes and bass. B Side is donating a 145 Skate Deck to a raffle that will benefit 242 Main, and BHW ’s Jim Lockridge says “an info-load of live Quake bloodsport video pro jections and interactive computer-generated visuals from Sonique will contribute to the mayhem.” All I can say is, bloodsport? Sounds like good, medicinal fun for this early, all-ages show. But don’t forget the plugs — it’s going to be an earful.

ELLIS PAUL, (Philo/Rounder Records, CD) — The lights in the harbor are twinkling: Ellis Paul’s ship seems to be coming in. The Boston-based singer-song writers notori ety is enhanced lately because his song, “The World Ain’t Slowin’ Down,” is fea tured on the soundtrack of Jim Carrey’s new movie, Me, Myself & Irene. Philo Records, a record company originally based in North Ferrisburgh and now part of Rounder in Cambridge, Mass., has just released a double CD , Live. It serves as a “greatest hits” collection for Paul’s fans and, as the title suggests, chroni cles live shows — including a sold-out concert at the Somerville Theater and a few tracks from the Burlington Coffeehouse — as well as several studio recordings. Live also includes guest vocals by other well-known performers on the “folk” circuit — Patty Griffin, Chris Trapper, Don Conoscenti and Vance Gilbert. A studio recording of “The World Ain’t Slowin’ Down” appears here, of course — its a catchy pop tune with just vocals and guitar. Paul possesses a high, clear voice reminiscent of no one in par ticular — and that’s a good thing in a genre where almost every male singer sounds like Bob Dylan, John Gorka, Steve Forbert or Bruce Springsteen. Well, actually, he does sound a bit like a young Steve Forbert. Paul has composed a catalogue of well-crafted, eloquent, “sensitive” songs about love affairs and longing, and mixes these up with some short poems and stage pat

DO GOOD DEPT. The James Harvey Trio do their bit for Tibet this Friday —- for Tibetan meditation, that is. Pianist/trombonist Harvey, bassist John Rivers and drummer Gabe Jarrett perform in a benefit for Burlington’s Shambhala Meditation Center at 187 S. Winooski Ave. “It’s a rare opportunity,” points out Harvey, “to see the band in a smoke-free environment.” It’s surely not every day that you can meditate to a live jazz band, either. SINGLE TRACKS Dunno why, but The VibrokingS have changed their name to the 'ess-subtle “Blues BlOWOUt.” You can ask them yourselves this Tuesday at Nectar’s . . . Vermont thespian/Logger Rusty Dewees shows up at Borders this Saturday with Don Commo and George Seymour to perform spo ken word/music off Dewees’ newest recording, The Logger’s Best Cuts. Please leave chainsaws at home . . . Charlie B’s Pub at the Stoweflake is back in musical motion with a summer entertainment calendar. Singer-songwriter Josh Brooks leads off this Saturday . . . Bad news: Zola Turn had to cancel their appear ance at Laconia’s bikerfest due to a graduation in the family last weekend. And I was so look ing forward to one or more good Turns with a hogdaddy! . . . Burlington alt-popsters The Halogens got a thumbs-up review on www.themusiciansresource.com, an on-line trade magazine, with an accolade called “Band in the Light.” Would that be limelight or white l ight?. . . O ur own James Kochalka is really a Superstar now. As I reported here recently, he’s performing this week at a rock festival in Copenhagen. According to his email, he was wildly popular — the fans were yelling’aBasta bandef (“best band”) at the end. Then he had the dubious honor of meet ing Oasis guy Liam Gallagher backstage. More to come, I’m sure . . . ©

EYES ON THE PRIZE? If D.I.Y. defines your M.O., you might want to know about “The Moxie.” That’s an award granted by Moxie Entertainment, an indie label run by singersongwriter Carla Hall, for bands/musicians and related businesses in the do-it-yourself uni verse. The Brooklyn-based Flail also edits a newsletter, “The Soulflower,” which reviews indie artists and is reportedly “inspirational,” whatever that may mean. So if any majorlabel-free musician type you know merits nom ination for his or her “active and conscious support of independent music,” send your sug gestions to carla@carlahall.com. Winners will be announced later this year. I have no idea what you win, but winning anything is good

FESTIVAL FEST Despite the iffy weather, p Vermont’s summer festivals must go on! ThiT Saturday One World One Heartf adc.a. the Ben & Jerry’s Festival, holds forth at Sugarbush, with a lineup including Hootie & the Blowfish, Susan Tedeschi, The New Bohemians with Edie Brickell, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet, among many others, and Vermont acts on the Green Mountain Stage. And of course, this being Ben & Jerry’s, there is other fun stuff if you need a break from the tunage. Not to be outdone, the Vermont Blues & Jazz Festival 2000 takes over the grounds of the Tunbridge World’s Fair Sunday with local tal ent to rival any tractor pull: Big Joe Burrell & the Unknown Blues Revue with Sandra Wright, The Seth Yacovone Blues Band, Fred Haas, Paul Broadnax, Frydaddy, Burma Jazz, Ya Ya Mambo and Dave Keller. Like OW OH, the southern Vermont fest offers up family fun, including educational fare from the Montshire Museum of Science, exhibits on raptors and solar energy and a marionette show. The grown-ups, at least, can look forward to a bunch of brews from the state’s finest hops heads, proving that blues, brews and brains can peacefully coexist.

ter — these discs give a clear impression of what an Ellis Paul concert is like. This week you can see for yourself; Paul celebrates his CD release this Sunday with a special performance at Contois Auditorium, courtesy of the Burlington Coffeehouse. — Robert Resnik
NEWHAMPSHIRE
SCiSSORFIGHT, (Tortuga Recordings, CD) — New Hampshire, the latest release from the Granite State-based Scissorfight, features cool folksy cover art incor porating reproductions of vintage N.H. post cards on textured paper. But the antlered mon ster trucks lurking around the periphery and the photo of the band sporting full-on redneck regalia make it clear there’s some kind of culture clash going on here. Too smart and too funny to be quite what they pretend, Scissorfight treat subjects as diverse as Blackbeard, Roman-esque spec tacle and a dog fighting monkey while setting them to heavy, mid-tempo, riffdriven groove — more Zeppelin than Zombie. \ Funky — but not in a faux, frenetic, Chili Peppers way — this fourpiece lays it down mostly slower and lower, maintaining metal cred, with often gutteral vocals and fin ger-blistering fills. The survivalist anthem, “Granite State Destroyers,” gets things right
with its spacious groove and double-time raveup. Vocalist Ironlung mixes gruffly humorous raps with competent singing, busting “rhymes” — such as “Faces meet ass-kicking feet/as he defends the freaks” — over the Motorheadmeets-CCR noise of “Billy Jack Attack.” “Lamprey River” is a pummeling boogie that skewers hard-drug abuse with a minimum of words and a maximum of rock ’n’ roll. Guitarist Jay Fortin, drummer Kevin J. Strongbow and bassist Paul Jarvis work together on this big, spacious-sounding disc, rather than clogging the works with overplaying or over processed sounds. Fortin does solo a little long on “Musk Ox” and “Mountain Man Boogie,” losing significant steam in the process. But he more than redeems himself riffing on “Dead Thunderbird,” which is also propelled by able Bonham-isms from Strongbow. The heavi est cuts here are probably the grindy “Cycloptic Skull,” with its Wire like intro, and “Roman Boxing Glove,” which Fea tures cool, high hacking vocals on the chorus. Don’t let the cover art confuse you, Scissorfight are neither hillbillies nor leaf-peep ers (cannabis, maybe), but purveyors of heavy rock with a regional per spective — and a strong new record. Scissorfight perform this Saturday at Higher Ground as part of the 10th anniversary tour of Wonderdrug, their former label — see “Rhythm & News” for details. — Paul Gibson

MAIN STAGE LINE UP: HOOTIE & THE BLOWF1SH This Q uartet burst from th e U niversity o f South Carolina and w ent straight to th e to p o f th e charts in th e m id-’90s w ith its h it-filled debut album, Cracked Rear View, which sold 12 m il lion copies. That’s gotta pay back th e student loans. As fans know, th ere’s no one in th e band nam ed Hootie, but th ere’s a singer/guitarist nam ed Darius Rucker, who w ith his th re e mates puts out some m ighty appealing blues-tinged pop. And th ey “only w anna be w ith you.”
SUSAN TEDESCHE It doesn’t take v ery m any fingers to count th e num ber o f women who’ve made it in the blues, and you can hold up one finger for how m any received a Grammy nom ination fo r Best New A rtist this year: Susan Tedeschi. And it’s ra re enough for th e Grammies to acknowledge anyone for th e ir commitment to th e blues tradition. Tedeschi makes a convincing case, though: Her shows are seductive, soulful and barnstorm ing all a t once, and she practically lives on th e road. And th a t’s w hat one nice girl from Massachusetts is doing in a place like this.
GREEN MOUNTAIN LINE UP: NOBBY REED PROJECT Vermont has its share o f fine blues players, and Nobby Reed is one o f th e v ery finest. The guitarist/singer has tw o albums and hundreds of late-night, dow n-and-dirty b ar gigs to his name, and tears up th e stage w ith a whole lo tta soul.
SM OKIN' GRASS This acoustic Quintet calls Vermont home, but has toured its fast-pickin’ “newgrass” to enthusiastic new fans, and festivals, all over th e country. Think old-tim ey bluegrass tu rn ed on (its ear), tuned in and tu rn ed up.
KATE BARCLAY The St. Albans songstress manages to raise tw o young sons and still put out some uniQuely appealing music and plays a m ean 12-string, too. Her latest CD, Sunshine From Mars, is making waves worldwide, on th e In ternet, and has been O prah-approved for use on h e r new cable netw ork, Oxygen. Talk about a b reath o f fresh air.
SAMBATUCADA Shake your Latin b o p y -lo o to th e Brazilian rhythm s of this B urlingtonbased percussion ensemble. Lots of bang from these bucks!
LAMBSBREAD Led by brothers Bobby and Dannis Hackney, Lambsbread is simply Vermont’s prem ier reggae band, w ith nearly tw o decades o f serious skankin’ on th e resume. Irie.
THE NEW BOHEMIANS FEATURING EDIE BRICKELL Edie Brickell 6? The New Bohemians burst upon th e w orld w ith th e ir ’80s hit, “W hat I Am.” But a fte r Brickell m arried superstar Paul Simon and had a child, th e band disappeared from sight for awhile. Now th ey ’re back, and don’t le t th e more democratic m oniker fool you: Edie’s still getting down in front.
BEAUSOLEIL AVEC MICHAEL DOUCET Once you get a recipe down, th e re ’s no point in changing it. You m ight say M ichael Doucet and BeauSoleil have all th e rig h t ingredients for a n irresistible music th a t simply makes you happy to be alive. M ix soulful Cajun, French lyrics, h o t fiddle and bouncing accordion, stir w ith dollops o f New O rleans jazz, Old W orld ballads, bayou blues and add a pinch o f C aribbean rhythm . Put it all togeth er and you’ve got w hat Rolling Stone dubbed “th e best dam n dance band you’ll ever hear.”
DAVE KELLER BLUES BAND Solo o r w ith his full band, Dave K eller delivers Delta-style blues nice ’n ’ easy o r jukejoint rip p in ’ like he was b o rn in a cotton patch. The form er Burlington City Councilor wisely chose playin’ over politics.
DON ROSE A p a rt of th e Ben 6? J e rry ’s family, Rose is th e company piano man, “discovered” w hen he stepped up to th e ivories in th e original scoop shop and became a one-m an garage band. Over th e years he honed his fingerstyle boogie, ragtim e and barrel-house blues a t B£?J events, including Free Cone Day, w hile m aintaining a respectable alter-ego a t IBM. W ith his p ortable keys, Rose w ill unlock th e 10th annual One World One H eart Festival. -?
GLEN PHILLIPS Best know n fo r his b u m in ’ vocals as frontm an for Toad th e Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips hopped aw ay on a so b career since th e demise o f th e band alm ost tw o years ago. From Toad’s th re e m illion albums, featuring hits like “Walk on th e Ocean,” and from his 13 years o n th e road - th is 29 y ear old, seasoned perform er has certain ly proved w ith his poignant singing and song-w riting th a t he can w alk o n w ater... Come check out his so b act. You won’t get w arts.
WILLY PORTER Have guitar w ill travel. That might be a m otto fo r th e hard-touring W illy P orter, but it doesn’t te ll th e whole story. It neglects to m ention th a t tins acoustic guitarist and songw riter from Madison, W isconsin, is a m aster on just about anything w ith strings. From opening fo r Tori Amos worldwide to headlining festivals to cozying up w ith a coffeehouse mike, P o rter dazzles w ith virtu o sity even as he puts an audience a t ease w ith hum or, charm and grace.
THE TOROKADOS No, it’s n o t tornadoes, it’s The Toronados, and w hat you need to know is th a t these fellas from C alifornia and New York m et up and decided to make peel-out, screeching-tires, n o -trea d -le ft rock ‘n roll. Expect a stage shaking set from th is high-octane pow er trio , led by Steve McWilliams, and don’t forget to buckle your seatbelts!
REACH OUT & TOUCH GOSPEL CHOIR Ignitin’ th e m ain stage th is y ear w ill be th e hom e-tow n, hom e-grow n group out o f Burlington, Vermont. EQually com fortable in churches o r on Church Street, this choir, full o f fire, w ill perform th e ir angelic music and get this festival o ff th e ground. Come fill your soul...

■ Amazingly, sexual relationships between guards and inmates are not against the law in Vermont. So Adriano Shaplin’s play, The Zero Y ardhas a special resonance in his home state. The Burlington-based writer also directs and acts in his intense drama about a female inmate in a co-ed jail with vicious guards and hardened criminals. Its nonrealistic,” he admits. But the setting dramatizes what he describes as societal imbalances and power dynamics.” His Riot Group has four days left on a Burlington sentence before they move on to fringe festivals in Edinburgh and Philadelphia.

the shape of things \ Art meets acrobatics in the chiaroscuro contortions of Pilobolus. Dartmouth students founded the far-out company in 1971 and its still-strong, jungle-gym mix of “human sculpture” and eye-defying gymnastics are unique in the dance world. A Hopkins-commissioned piece, “Aeros,” depicts an intergalactic traveler with wit. “Apoplexy” explores the link between love and combat. “Femme Noir is described as a darkly comic portrait of a woman.’ You’ll never look at human pyramids the same way again. Friday and Saturday, June 23 & 24. Moore Theater, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 8p.m. $20.50. Info, 603-646-2422.

Jeffrey Lent’s interracial tale follows a family through three generations in a sprawling epic Kirkus Review called “a marvelous and provocative piece of American fiction.” Recently returned from the fiction front — a national book tour brought him readers from Middlebury to Oregon — Tunbridge-based Lent finds a place to read right around the corner.

P o tlu c k B y -M arc A wodey aravan Arts is an alivolunteer arts orga nization that pro duces group shows on a regular basis in venues around Burlington. Its exhibits have grown pro gressively stronger over the past several years, and this m onth’s show may be the most substantive ever. “Bring Your Own Theme: A Group Exhibit” at the Rose Street Gallery is a dynamic, cohesive exhibit of more than 70 works by about two dozen Vermont artists. Nearly all media are represented, as are many of the area’s most promising emerging talents. Sculptor Jeff Feld pre sents an untitled work composed of 19 white plaster casts, randomly arranged like a shuffled constellation on the gallery floor. Each chalky puff is basically a cast of nothing ness — the interior space of a plastic bag.

By pre o f orange and yellow counterbalance light blue senting a prime num ber in an unbalanced and crimson rose across the left-leaning diagonal, arrangement of colorless forms, Feld focuses creating an image that recalls the w ork o f French attention on the paradox of how individuality painter-designer Sonia Delaunay. can be manifested within a multiple. “T houghts and Pills,” by John Caprioti, is a Painter Lois Eby has also reduced images to large-scale encaustic w ith layered textures, etched their essential components.

ARRESTING OFFICER Jackson plays an action hero with humor, heart and attitude to burn in the latest from John Singleton.
S H A F T * * * 172 H ere’s one for the Guilty Pleasure file. John Singleton’s Shaft is a high-octane double helping o f mean-street cheese, but thanks almost entirely to the cool and most badass charisma o f Samuel L. Jackson, the film offers some o f the most cathartic movie fun you’re likely to find this side o f apple-picking time. Jackson plays the leather trenchcoat-clad nephew o f the

legendary private detective and ladies’ man (Richard Roundtree, who makes several brief appear ances throughout the picture). At the start o f the film, he’s a tough New York cop who gets a little too tough with an arrogant, white, rich punk (Christian Bale) w ho’s just killed a young black man w ithout provocation.

o f the precinct. “W hy?” he asks with a 200-w att twinkle in his eye before decking the yuppie scum again. “For that?” It’s a delicious m om ent that sets the stage for a one-man show. A show throughout which one man is at once so confident, so defiant, so ready to rumble — not to m ention ready to take any one o f m any foxy and willing beauties for a tum ble — that there’s barely room on the wide screen to accom m odate his pres ence. Bale is supremely detestable as the son o f a wealthy develop er. After breathing life into American Psychos Patrick Bateman, however, playing this nose-thum bing racist brat clearly is a walk in the park for the high-voltage young actor. If any one in the cast comes close to keeping up with the film’s star, it’s Basquiahs totally transfigured Jeffrey W right, who costars here as a flamboyant firecracker of a drug lord. Between attem pting to drag Bale to justice and going up against a heavily armed gang with W right and his coke-deal ing, U zi-toting pafs, John Shaft doesn’t have quite as much time for the ladies as Isaac Hayes would have us believe, but hey, it’s a cool song, so who cares? Anyway, Jackson’s Shaft has car chases, gun fights and a runin with dirty cops, but w hat he has most of is attitude to burn. He also has personality — there’s a w arm th and hum anity at the heart o f the movie that lifts it beyond genre. I’ll be honest, though: I’ve never watched the original Shaft, Superfly or any thing w ith Pam Grier in it prior to Jackie Brown. W here I grew up in the ’70s the moviehouses didn’t show Blaxploitation films. T hey showed Dirty Harry films. A nd, as I watched John Singleton’s vibrant, hot-blooded film, I came to realize that Richard R oundtree and C lint Eastwood’s anti-establishm ent, lone-w olf lawmen were in many respects m irror images, black/ w hite counterparts. T hough it’s true C lint never had a theme song anywhere near this good. M aybe the coolest things about the new S h a ft— which debuted at the top o f the American box office — are that it speaks to an audience which over the past few decades has grown up some and come together some, and that black and w hite audiences no longer require their own edition o f the same hero. There are two things everyone knows after seeing this film: Sam is indeed the man. A nd he is guaranteed to make your day. ®

A few Blue Dogs, however, will return to the Montpeculiar pound next January, and it’ll be Rep. Mike Vinton of Colchester’s job to keep them in top condition. Poor Howard — Gov. Howard Dean is getting it from all sides. Progressive Party candidate Anthony Pollina was sticking it to him in Saturday’s Gay Pride parade in Burlap. Tony the Prog distrib uted literature reminding everyone Dr. Dean was the “uncomfortable” one after December’s Vermont Supreme Court ruling. And Tony the Prog reminds everyone Dean’s the guy who signed the civil-unions law in the “closet.” But wait a minute. There’s our governor highlighted on the cover of The Advocate, the nation’s pre mier gay and lesbian news magazine. The Advocate touts HoHo as “The Governor Who Risked his Career For Same-Sex Unions.” And inside there’s an interview with Dean under the headline, “Profile in Courage.” Poor Howard. Media Notes I — In local TV news land, the spring Nielsen rat ings are out and W PTZ (NBC) continues on top. Ch. 5 continues in first place in the Metro area with an average 48 share at 6 p.m. and a 43 share on the late news. Big numbers. The share number reflects the percentage of turned-on TV sets tuned into a particular sta tion at a particular time. In the larger DMA market area (statewide plus bits of N.Y. and N.H.), WCAX (CBS) pulls out a 31-26 win over W PTZ at 6 p.m., but W PTZ gets its nose back in front at 11 p.m. 27-25Hearst-Argyle, Ch. 5 s owner, operates 27 network affiliate sta tions across the country. Places like Boston, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Albuquerque and Sacramento. Chances are if you’re hooked on Ch. 5 out of Plattsburgh/ Burlington, you’ll find something like it on the motel TV in Cincinnati, New Orleans and Omaha, too. Hearst-Argyle’s foot print covers 17.5 percent of U.S.households. WVNY (ABC) and their “new kids on the block” news operation — first anniversary coming up in September — remains in the single digits. Their best score is a 4 share in the Metro. “M*A*S*H” reruns would likely top that. Station man ager Larry Delia told Seven Days that viewer feedback remains posi tive. “We’re not going to change a thing, because we know our prod uct is doing well.” Persistence is his key. Anybody catch the two-headed kitty-cat story WVNY ran the other night? Truly amazing! Nationally, Mr. Delia hit the big-time last week on the front page of The Wall Street Journal— “How the Top Networks Are Turning the Tables on Their Affiliates.” Larry made the story’s lead: Larry Delia never expected W VN Y in Burlington, Vt., to be at ground zero in the war between the big networks and their television-sta tion affiliates. But that’s where Larry is. Ground zero. Low man on the net work totem pole. As the general manager o f a weak ABC affiliate, Mr. Delia was toast
.when it came time to renegotiate bis affiliation deal this spring. ABC threatened to drop the station -4- a: loss that would have been devastating for W VN Y — and Mr. Delia got the message. The message was the equivalent of a punch in the mouth. Hence forth, instead of the network writ ing a check to the affiliate every year, the network has decided the money will begin flowing in the opposite direction. According to the WSJ, in five years WVNY will pony up $1 million to ABC for the privilege of remaining on the ABC roster. The WSJ also talked to Stuart “Red” Martin, founder and presi dent of WCAX. Red’s Vermont shop has been with CBS for 45 years. He told the WSJ he antici pates “a tough negotiation session with CBS,” because “he knows going in that markets like his aren’t important to the networks.” According to the WSJ, 60 per cent of the revenue WCAX brings in the front door goes out the back door to CBS. “They’re getting more out of the station than we are,” complained Vermont’s own television pioneer. According to the WSJ, Red’s banking on his faith in good old CBS, the station of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace. In Red’s opinion, unlike the other networks, CBS is not run by “pirates.” Shiver me timbers, matey. Media Notes II — The Burlington Free Press has won a second award from the parent company for its coverage of what we once called the “UVM Hockey Hazing Scandal.” The Freeps won Gannett’s “Freedom of Information” award “for its aggressivfc,'perslsteru cover age of hazing by members of the University of Vermont hockey team.” According to the announce ment, “The university cloaked in secrecy:its tepid investigation of initial allegations of hazing, and the school failed to forthrightly investi gate additional charges.” Well, jeezum crow. Hindsight’s 20-20. We now know that’s not true, but it sure sounds good, does n’t it? And Gannett erroneously claims the Freeps is responsible for the involvement of the governor and the attorney general. But that’s not true, either. Ho-Ho and Gen. Billy didn’t get involved until December 10, the day LaTulippe filed his lawsuit. The Guv first heard about it on the six o’clock news, he said, and the next morn ing he crashed the UVM trustees meeting, where he read them the riot act. Oh, well, can’t let the facts get in the way. Congratulations on the award! And congratulations to the paper’s executive editor, Mickey Hilten, who just took second place in Gannett’s “Editor of the Year” contest. No question, Mr. Hirten is a rising star in Gannett land. By the way, Gannett land just got a lot bigger. The multinational media giant has shelled out over $ 1 bil lion for 21 more daily newspapers, mostly in the Midwest. Goodbye, Wisconsin. Lets see. That’s 96 dailies plus USAToday And across the Atlantic Ocean, Gannett just added four daily ' newspapers to the 11 they already own in the United Kingdom. “A local custom,” my arse. ® * Em ail Peter a t Inside Track VT@aol. com

EXXON FROWNS ON GASOLINE SHELL GAMES Dear Tom a n d Ray: A fe w months ago, I pulled into my local Exxon station to f d l ‘er up. I noticed a large tanker truck apparently delivering gas to the stations underground tanks. B ut there were no signs on the truck that suggested it was an Exxon truck, or that it was deliv ering fu e l fo r Exxon. I wrote a letter to Exxon's headquarters asking the same question, and they answered back by saying “baddabeep, baddaboop, yam m a ou guys lamma ding dong. ” Do you know the answer?

RAY: It’s funny you mention your response from Exxon, Cy. T hey seem to have done for public relations what Linda Tri^p has done for friendship. W eve found them less than responsive, too. T O M : Fortunately, the Mobil side o f the new Exxon-Mobil was happy to answer our ques tion. RAY: Exxon franchisees have several options for getting gaso line to their stations. They can have Exxon deliver it, in which case it comes in a large truck w ith the word “Exxon” plas tered on the side. O r they can pick it up themselves, in which case the truck might not say anything on it.

T O M : O r it might say “Acme Milk Farms” on it if the gas sta tion owner borrowed the truck from his neighbor, the dairy farmer. RAY: Actually, franchisees often own groups o f stations. And if they own a num ber of stations, they usually find it more eco nomical to own a truck and distribute the gasoline them selves. They make the pickup arrangements with Exxon, and they pull right up to Exxon’s tap at the refinery and get the same gas and additives that come in the Exxon truck. T O M : And w hat’s to stop them from going to Acme M ilk Farms and filling up their underground tanks with 2 per cent or skim? “We have ways o f keeping close tabs on our fran chisees,” says an Exxon-Mobil jerson.

chisees are absolutely required to use Exxon gasoline, and that they could lose their franchise if tney were found to be buying gas from Gabes Gas-a-Go-Go. RAY: N ot that there’s necessari ly anything wrong with Gabes. But since Exxon makes a lot o f money by requiring franchisees to buy gas from them , they have a powerful incentive to make sure you’re getting Exxon gas from your local Exxon sta tion.

T O M : It’s a scam. RAY: Your car is fuel-injected, Patrick. A nd m odern fuelinjected cars use com puterized engine-m anagem ent systems that automatically adjust for changing altitudes. So you don’t have to do anything except drive there. T O M : If this were 20 years ago, and your car was carburet ed, then you would, in fact, need to have the carburetor adjusted to let in less fuel, since the air is thinner up there. RAY: But the com puter does all that now — using electronic sensors to continuously mea sure the com bustion gasses and then adjusting the gasoline/air mixture as necessary. T O M : So save the m oney on the “adjustm ent,” Patrick. But since you’re moving to such a high altitude, you m ight w ant to invest in those oxygen masks that drop down from the sun visors.

Dear Lola, My son is an ace felIcw: bright, kind, net bad locking and with a tine future ahead ct him. But at 32 he’s still unattached. I ’m anxious to see him settle down with a wite and family ct his own. My friends and I have all intro duced him to countless eligible young women, but he’d rather hang cut with his buddies. When I try to talk about this, he refases. When my hus band of 50 years was in his final months, he expressed his regret at not seeing cur son mar ried. I ’m not getting any younger myself, and I don’t want to pass on to that big bridge club in the sky with the same disappointment. What do you suggest? Matchmaker in Montpelier Dear Montpelier, Of course you want what’s best for your son, and in your mind that’s a queen to suit his king. But your son’s heart may not be inclined towards the hand you have in mind. Lay off the match making and concentrate on loving him as he plays the cards he’s been dealt.
