ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE ' IT H A P P E N S > Life on Earth began with microbes that entered the atmosphere as lumps o f alien waste, according to astronomer Andrei Arkhipov o f the Institute o f Radio Astronomy in Kharkov, Ukraine. Writing in the journal, The Observatory, Arkhipov claimed that organ­ isms buried deep within such waste matter would be wellprotected from the rigors o f interstellar travel, solving the age-old puzzle o f how delicate chemicals like D N A needed for life managed to devel­ op in the early Earths hostile environment.

K eep it d e A N O f 555 married couples asked, “Would you rather have OK sex in a clean house or great sex in a dirty house?” for James Thorntons book, Chore Wars: How Households Can Share the Work and Keep the Peace, 31 per­ cent o f the women and 31 per­ cent o f the men said they want­ ed great sex in a dirty house. But 53 percent of the women and 56 percent o f the men chose OK sex in a clean house.

PRIDE A N D PREJUDICE This letter is an effort to refute an image that was gener­ ated by an advertisement that appeared in your publication last week (June 18). The adver­ tisement was for the Queen City Pride Pig dance, an event that was to raise money for the Vermont Gay/Lesbian/ Bisexual/ Transgendered Pride Committee and Vermont CARES. The ad implied, through crude cartoon characterization, that Robert Toms and his busi­ ness, 135 Pearl, has done noth­ ing over the years for Vermont Pride and the g/l/b/t communi­ ty at large. That he just opens the doors and counts his money. This is wrong. Very wrong. This year alone he raised/solicited/donated over $1500 in money and services for the Vermont Pride celebra­ tion. His doors were always open for meetings and fundrais­ ers. To give our community more opportunities to celebrate during last weekend’s activities, 135 Pearl (for the third year in a row) extended outside to the parking lot. This requiring greater costs in renting tents, sound and lighting equipment, hiring entertainment, staffing, etc. Add in Robert’s time spent in planning and implementation, not only for his business, but as a member of the Vermont Pride Committee, it’s easy to see that it would have been easier and more economical for him to “just open his doors” for the weekend. The crowd is in town, and in most cases 135 Pearl is the only game around. But Robert chose to do more for Pride. And the whole g/l/b/t communi­

ty has benefited. And Vermont Pride isn’t the exception.

Over the years Robert and his staff have opened their doors and pockets for groups such as Vermont CARES, Men’s Health Project, Vermont Gay Social Alternatives, Women Helping Battered Women, Sarah Holbrook Center, Outright Vermont, Take Back the Trails, Women of Color Alliance, Ronald McDonald House (and many others), as well as theatre companies, entertainers and performers. Few businesses in town have consistently assisted such diverse organizations or causes.

While Vermont Pride admits neglect in seek­ ing final approval for activities benefiting and used in association of our organization, we feel a trust was betrayed and have asked for a public apology.

Controversy may be good for some issues, but never is cannibalism.

— Bob Bolyard member of the Vermont Pride ’97 Committee Burlington

CORRECTION: Peter Letzelter-Smith, vice-president o f Local 481 of IATSE, sent in the following comments on our story about the Vermont Film Commission (“Commission Impossible?” June 11): 1. [Film Commission Board Member] Rob Rabideau didn’t provide those numbers [of wages and benefits in film production in New England], I did. Only way Ron would know them is if I told him.

2. IATSE stands for: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts o f the United States and Canada, AFL-CIO, CLC. 3. That’s a mouthful, I know. “IA New England Film Technicians Local 481” is somewhat less of a mouthful.

4. The figure [of benefits earned by Local 481] was actually $3.7 million in wages PLUS $500,000 in health and welfare benefits.

SEX, LIESANDTV

The hottest political donnybrook in the g Queen City doesn’t involve the city council — ■ not yet anyway. No, the battle royale involves | the Burlington Womens Council (BWC), and I the charges, countercharges and insults are | flying freely.

A year and a half ago, Peggy Luhrs, the ®feisty King o f the Queen City, stepped down as 1 director o f the BWC after a 10-year reign.

1 Peggy’s a warrior, no question about it. She ruf­ fled a lot o f feathers over the years. Her succes­ sor as head o f the BWC is Jennifer Matthews.

Jennifer’s ruffled a lot of feathers, too — Progressive feathers. She doesn’t toe the Peter | Clavelle line, and that’s gotten her in hot water | with da’ mayor. In fact, Matthews was the only I city department head not invited to the recent * retreat in Stowe.

I That tiff was highlighted in a recent letter to | Clavelle. Matthews wrote, “Your insistence that 11, as the director o f the Women’s Council, buy into your agenda regardless of its impact on women is in direct contradiction to my responi sibilities to this organization... In the 16 | months 1 have held this position, you and your | colleagues have routinely subjected me and I other members o f the Women’s Council to threats, censure, attempts at I censorship and repeated 1 attempts at restricting individu­ als’ freedom of speech. Is this to be part o f your legacy to the city o f Burlington?”

No, sweetheart, Filene’s is.

Clavelle denies Matthews’ 1 charges. In a June 18 letter, p Mayor Pedro explained why _ Matthews was excluded from ®the Stowe retreat.“If you Were going to actively oppose major | administration initiatives, it would not make sense to include I you in discussions aimed at i planning, strategizing and orga1 nizing those initiatives.”

Interesting, says Matthews, | since the Stowe retreat had been billed as a “performance man­ I agement” review rather than a I political strategy session geared to da’ mayor’s political agenda. | Luhrs, who gave her blessing I to Matthews’ appointment as * director, is now her number-one i critic. “I don’t think she’s pro! vided the right leadership,” says Luhrs. She charges that Matthews “has bonded with Sandy Baird,” a former Democratic legislator who, a ^ couple months back, told Inside Track she i would run for mayor in 1999. And at the last | BWC meeting, Luhrs, known for her sharp | tongue, called Matthews a “homophobe.” | (Peggy also publicly called City Councilor Kurt Wright the same thing that evening. Hey, how * come these meetings aren’t on Ch. 17?)

To back up her homophobe charge against | the current director, Peggy says that at a previ­ ous BWC meeting, Jennifer made the state­ ment, “You all don’t like me cause I do dick.”

“Everybody’s jaw dropped,” says Luhrs.

Yes, Matthews said it, but she resents the | homophobe tag, noting her younger brother died o f AIDS three years ago. “I had to fight I many battles on his behalf” says Matthews.

“It’s obvious,” says Baird, “the Progs would like to get rid o f Jennifer.” Sandy says, | “Jennifer’s agenda has always been to have a non-partisan women’s council that speaks for all l the women o f Burlington. That,” she adds, “is „ not their agenda.”

It’s interesting to note that the current civil | war on the BWC has turned longtime friends

and allies Peggy Luhrs and Sandy Baird again st^ each other. Baird, you’ll recall, was Luhrs’ | defense lawyer for the two criminal charges she J faced during her tenure as director: shoplifting g at Sears, and an assault charge for punching out an anti-abortion protestor.

1 Matthews says her troubles started a year § ago when she had the audacity to publicly point g out that the Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) advisory board which consisted of, she says, “cronies o f the Progs,” zeroed out funding for the BWC and decreased funding for most o f the other women’s organizations in town. The Republicans, led by Wright, she noted, backed continued funding. Since that day, says Matthews, she’s been subjected to per­ sonal insults and character assassination. “It’s been brutal at times,” she says.

Maureen Dyer, producer o f “Wolf Calls” on public access TV, says Luhrs “has been in a frenzy. She doesn’t like Jennifer because she’s not a Progressive and she’s not a dyke.”

But Dyer, who calls Peggy a “heterophobe,” says Luhrs was led to believe Matthews was a lesbian, because they thought Peggy would not condone having a “straight” replacement. Dyer tells Inside Track a scheme was launched “with- j out Matthews’ knowledge,” in which an unidentified woman told Peggy that Jennifer * had made passes at her. “We all laughed about ® it,” says Dyer.

So where do things stand | now? The brawl continues. The g Progs are turning up the heat in » hopes things will get so unpleas- ® ant Matthews will resign. But 1 she says she’s hanging in there, | and has the votes on the adviso- g ry board to stick it out.

“It’s all about politics and * power,” says Matthews. “For the | past year-and-a-half l has been an independent voice g for women. We’re not in bed with the city administration or « any other political party.”

Media Notes — The Vermont | Health Department’s new AIDS g prevention got a nice kick in the & teeth from W G O P... sorry, WCAX-TV. Ch. 3 has refused to sell air time to run the two spots they’ve produced because they promote the use o f con­ doms. “We will not run materi­ al that is deeply offensive to a significant portion o f our audi­ ence,” says Peter Martin, the station’s vice president. But his dad, Stuart “Red” Martin, tells Inside Track, “I have to admit one could accuse us o f hypocrisy. Just look at the soap operas,” says Red. “They’re jumping in and out o f bed all the time — that’s | all they do, for God’s sake.” And they don’t for- 8 get their rubbers, either. It’s great to support the I prudes, but c’mon guys, this is all about a life- § threatening disease. Grow up!

On a different front, Ch. 3 may not be car- « rying the NFL this fall. That’s because the new ® Fox station, WFFF — Ch. 44 — is due to fire 1 up their transmitter by the end o f August. The § Martins have been notified they have to stop g running the games by November 1, but they g haven’t decided on carrying them up until then. * The bad news is, WFFF’s signal from Terry Mountain across the lake won’t reach eastern | Vermont. The good news is, “60 Minutes” will g no longer cut in before the games are over.

Also in TV land, the word on the street is ® that WWIN-TV, the local Warner Brothers affiliate, may go dark by the end o f the month, j W W IN went on the air in November 1995 with big plans, but never made an impact.

Sources say they’ve approached other stations * about selling off their assets. (?)

fter many a summer dies the swan,” says the poet, but death from heat prostration isn’t what this here swan had in mind. Not before the end o f June, anyway. Please — I’m begging you.

How did the legend ever get started that Vermont doesn’t have any summer? I’ve lived here on and off since I960 and there’s been a summer every year. I know this because I’ve always dreaded summer and I’ve never been disappointed. In the old days, it’s true, we didn’t have a festival every weekend to remind In the old days, us what season it was. There was no such thing as the Boathouse or the bike path when I was growing you could walk up in Burlington. Music and bal­ loons didn’t waft through the air the whole length at all hours o f the day and night.

You could walk the whole length o f Church Street without passing o f Church Street a single wacked-out saxophone player, or a vegetable cart that without passing a sold tomatoes for three dollars apiece because they’d been bred in somebody’s hydroponic somesingle wacked-out thing-or-other with a Q-Tip. We knew it was summer on account o f the heat. And the saxophone player humidity. And the poison ivy.

And the flies. When you got up or a vegetable in the morning in those days and realized how hot it was, you cither w efljt^ igrping or you cart that sold shot yourself, one o r|h e other.

And with good reason. Vermont is the hottest cold spot in the tomatoes for nation, “the Sahara o f the North,” as a friend o f mine called it after three dollars he moved here from Washington, D. C., in search o f relief. Not finding any, he quickly died, but apiece because not before he’d persuaded me to carry on with his mission.

“Tell Vermonters the truth,” they’d been bred he groaned from his bed. “Tell them they’ve been lied to. It’s an in somebody’s inferno out there!”

I ought to confess that I come from a family that dislikes sum­ hydroponic somemer as much as I do. My mother starts worrying that summer is coming before the Christmas tree thing-or-other comes down, and my sister, the noted photographer Gillian with a Q - Tip. Randall, would gladly suffer two Januaries back-to-back rather than endure July in any form. This won’t be a surprise to all those people who think we’re “negative” to start with, including the editors o f this newspaper, who forbade me to say a word against summer until they’d put their Summer Preview issue safely to bed. They’ve got the larger community to think about, o f course, and besides, they’ve been brainwashed along with most o f the rest o f humanity into thinking that so long as the sun is shining, there can’t be anything wrong. It could be 100 degrees in the shade with humidity that would grow mildew behind your ears; they could be crawling on their bellies covered with ants, clawing the dust in front o f them in a desperate search for water, and still these people would be saying: “Isn’t it beautiful! Look, the i««jou t!”

All right, so I have some issues with this. Forgive me, but I was wounded very deeply as a child. Every terrible thing that ever happened to me happened in the summer, including my C o n tin u e d on p a g e 1 2

C on tin u ed fro m page 1 It was this combination o f qualities that led Pecor to leap at the chance to buy the Lake Champlain Transportation Company in 1976. Abandoning his handed-down career as a mobile homes dealer, “I financed everything I could in order to buy this special busi­ ness,” Pecor recalled during an interview in his lakefront office, which itself resembles a ship’s interior — wood-paneled and looking out over a hazy blue expanse.

He built the 150-year-old ferry company from a seasonal business employing 30 yearround workers to a 12-month operation with more than 100 full-time employees. Money made from LCT allowed Pecor to acquire and convert the Champlain Mill in Winooski, which became one o f the area’s

ranked fourth in attendance among the 14 teams in the New York-Penn League, being outdrawn only by rivals in larg­ er markets and with new stadi­ ums.

Pecor’s civic-spiritedness and straight dealings have earned him a favorable reputation right across the political spectrum.

town advocates also accuse Pecor o f inconsistency, even hypocrisy, for his role as a major investor in Jeff Davis’ Wal-Mart mega-mall at subur­ ban Taft Corners.

“Ray presents himself as this

discount mall as beneficial to working-class interests. “If I can help a guy making $20,000 a year to live a little better,” he reasons, “why shouldn’t I do that?”

But Pecor strains noticeably to maintain his positive per­ spective when the conversation turns to Bernie Sanders and other progressive champions o f the working class.

“Bernie and Peter [Clavelle] have their agendas and that’s great,” he says tactfully, “but it’s not how I was brought up.” His “entrepreneurial family” taught him to be self-reliant and proudly independent, Pecor explains.

He has nevertheless estab­ lished a cooperative working relationship with Clavelle, whom he has also publicly sup­ ported in mayoral races. The two are currently crafting a deal involving construction o f an inn and restaurant on Pecor’s property at King Street Ferry

fail in his latest quest. Most o f what he’s set out to achieve he has accomplished.

“I’m so fortunate that things have worked out so well,” Pecor acknowledges, minutes before inspecting the repair work done on his 13-year-old white Porsche. Along with material success, he enjoys a happy fami­ ly life. He and Jean Pecor, his wife o f 35 years, have a daugh­ ter who works as a fashion designer in Manhattan and a son who owns a bagel business in Durango, Colorado.

“You want to know how good it’s been?” Pecor asks rhetorically. “I’d come back to do it all over again and not change a single thing. How many people can honestly say that?” (7)

ay Pecor’s not perfect, though, in the estimation of some Vermonters famil­ iar with unpublicized details of his business life. He has drawn

Dock: The project may also include a $2 million, 30,000square-foot crafts and food market with performing arts space.

Noting he’s the only private lakefront landowner between Blodgett Ovens and North Beach, Pecor feels both privi­ leged and somewhat aggrieved.

The city, he implies, has pro­ tected too much nearby land from commercial and residen­ tial development, leaving the downtown waterfront unpopu­ lated for much o f the year. As a result, potential builders on the few available sites west of Battery Street must overcome the obstacle o f insufficient street traffic eight months of the year.

“I have a lot o f reservations about being able to build some­ thing special enough to attract people” to the proposed inn and restaurant, Pecor says. “It’s got to be an extraordinary pro­ ject, with excellent architecture and spectacular views.” Pecor also hopes to recruit a national­ ly known hotel operator, but has not yet begun discussions with any prospective firm.

Few Burlington business leaders imagine that Pecor will PHOTOS:

biggest retail and office com­ plexes. A few years later, Pecor again ventured where no one else had dared to go.

“For a long time, there was this big hole in the ground right at the entrance point to downtown,” says Mayor Peter Clavelle. “Ray was the one who stepped up to the plate and built Courthouse Plaza there.”

The prominent blue-and-white, marble-and-tile cornerpiece at Main Street and South Winooski Avenue is now fully tenanted.

Unlike many self-made mil­ lionaires, Pecor hasn’t forgotten where he came from. “He’s done well in this community, but he’s also given a lot back to it,” remarks Clavelle.

One especially significant contribution by the former infielder was his engineering o f a deal that brought professional baseball back to Burlington four years ago. Pecor spent $700,000 to acquire the Vermont Expos franchise, and has yet to turn a profit on the minor league team. “With the short season, it’s not a big financial success,” Pecor says, noting, however, that a sizable reward would probably be reaped through sale o f a proper­ ty whose value has appreciated considerably. Pecor has no plans to sell the Expos, however, and in fact vows, “As long as I’m around, there’ll be minor league baseball in Burlington.”

He bought the club, he says, mainly out o f his own love for the game and a conviction that the Expos would prove to be “a major community asset.” The support shown by fans has exceeded his expectations. Last year, the champion Expos

big Burlington booster,” says one downtown merchant who asked not to be identified, “but he was quite willing to sink money into a project that’s bad not just for Burlington but for all o f Vermont.”

Wal-Mart and the other chain outlets at Taft Corners don’t compete with the Church Street Marketplace, Pecor contends.

Times change, he adds, and people’s prefer­ ences change along with them. A genera­ tion ago, he says, local devel­ opers built shop­ ping centers to meet customers’ demands. “Now it’s the big-box retail approach” that consumers favor.

“In my eyes, Vermonters really wanted this,” Pecor main­ tains. The opposition to the Taft Corners project, by con­ trast, came mainly from “people who have moved into the state.”

Pecor further defends the

developers,” says Clavelle, “and with only a few would I seal a deal with just a handshake.

Ray’s one of them.”

His personal warmth — radiat­ ing out to the world via a quick and broad smile — likewise leads almost all who encounter Pecor to characterize him as “a nice guy.”

THE BEAT GOES OFF Well, it looks like W BTZ The Buzz has won the modern-rock radio station war for now. WXPS The Pulse has stopped — or will very soon. One half o f the two-person sales force has gone to work for Jim Lockridge o f Big Heavy World, and promotions director/DJ Victoria St. John — the champion o f local music on the short-lived but wellmeaning station — has thrown in the towel. “I didn’t want to be sports chick,” she says. That’s right, The Pulse is reportedly going the sports-talk route, and, having watched a number o f football commentators on TV in my day, I have to say I fear for the worst.

What exactly is there to say about sports, 24 hours a day? Never mind, I don’t want to know. Meanwhile, though the rumors are rampant, Pulse Program Director Wally McCarthy and other powers-that-be were unable to officially comment as o f press time.

Stay tuned.

E? DEJA (Blue Note, C D ) — Born o f Pakistani and Chilean parents, Fareed Haque has lived and trav­ eled the globe, and his clas­ sically trained, virtuosic guitar work mirrors the influences. But on the Deja Vu, C D , one o f three so far in Blue Note’s Covers Series, Haque stretches his jazzy roots — and his trademark nylon-string — around flower power. T he original Deja Vu, after all, was the 1970 watershed by Crosby, Stills, Nash &c Young — the LP with such time-sensitive nuggets as “Almost Cut My Hair,” “Teach Your Children Well,” and the anthemic “W oodstock.” Haque’s percussive sonic weavings and 12-string elocutions around the simple, familiar melodies is worth the price o f admis­ sion — even if that’s the only thing he plays at his show this week in Burlington. In the wake o f labelmate Charlie Hunter — who came to town Monday touring his own cover project, Bob Marleys N atty D read— Haque jazz-rocks Toast Wednesday.

* Li I n £ D / 1u (self-released, cassette) — Lo-fi meets hi-tech here.

It is also, occasionally, a good example o f what one shouldn’t do with it. That is to say, overdo it.

But Eastern Europeans take their traditions — and their regionality — seriously, and wear costumes that “are essentially hun­ dreds o f years old,” Brutzman says.

“It represents their heritage, their towns — they’ve really got it down. We feel pressured to wear something elaborate, so we re bor­ rowing costumes.” And ironically, the women o f Zelen will feel more at home with Balkan singing — even in front o f the people who invented it — than the northern shape-note, Abenaki and FrenchCanadian tunes they’ve quickly adde to the repertoire to represent this neck o f the globe. N o matter; the trip “is really more about observing what they do,” Brutzman says.

(Velvet Music, cassette) — I’ve gotta claim mothers caveat on this one (“If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say any­ thing at all.”). Okay, I can say a couple o f nice things, which perhaps will justify a couple o f bad ones. Though the Wolcott-based singer and gui­ tarist seems intent on proving his title true, I have to admit the title track is kind o f funny — it’s sure to rankle every band that fancies themselves stellar members o f the Burlington constellation (the string o f names — Jesus Butt, Belizbehubbabubba, etc. — are scantly disguised). Let’s just say he probably bums some bridges with that song. And Tassey Ayer isn’t afraid to express his unguarded afFection for his wife (Peg Tassey Ayer) and young daughter (Audrey Sunshine even makes a goo-goo gah-gah appear­ ance on one track) in song — an endearing quality in the male o f our species. He’s got a few good ideas stewing here: a cheesy Nine Inch Nails meets Phantom o f the Opera medley; an attempt, as he puts it in the liner notes, “to write a song with a lot o f chords in it,” like The Beatles (“The One That I Love”); and a simple, melodic ditty (the one with with Audrey’s sweet babbling, “Only the Best Thing”). But for the most pan, Tassey Ayer indulges to excess obnoxiousness and sloppy playing, with a thin, out-of-tune-on-purpose vocal that I find unbearable. Yeah, OK, it’s the lo-fi thing, which he pretty much ascribes to on the inside. But so what? It’s still wretched — especially when I know the guy’s capable o f bet­ ter. But I’ll end on a positive note: I kind o f like the grainy photo o f Tassey Ayer (I think) standing in the snow with boots, coat, Santa cap and guitar covering his otherwise naked parts.

hen the Vermont Expos season started last week, 27 young men — kids, really — took to the diamond, all with the same dream: the big leagues. Class A ball in Burlington isn’t Fenway Park, but there’s still that chance, that hope, that example. And there are two other living examples — retired major leaguers — right here in the Burlington area. Len Whitehouse and Jim Neidlinger might be in the stands watching the Expos this summer, but Whitehouse, for one, says he’s not likely to watch his own former team­ mates on TV. “I don’t know what it is,’’ says the ex-major league pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. “I can’t really yet sit down and watch a game from start to fin­ ish and enjoy it.”

Jim Neidlinger has no prob­ lem watching baseball on TV; he’s checking up on his old team­ mates — the

Angeles Dodgers.

Unlike Whitehouse, Neidlinger wasn’t born and raised in Burlington, though his wife Ann was. But the Queen City’s other ex-big leaguer has called

Burlington home — at least off-season — since 1986.

In 1990, Neidlinger, a 6’4 ” right-hander, spent two months as a starting pitcher for the Dodgers. His teammates included future Hall-of-Famer Eddie Murray. The ace o f the pitching staff was 20-game win­ ner Ramon Martinez. Orel Hershieser was out with an injury. Neidlinger joined the club on July 31, with the Dodgers nine games out of first place. They got as close as two games behind division leader Cincinnati, but couldn’t quite catch the eventual World Series

many years in the^ninors. The Dodgers went 9-3 in his dozen" starts. Neidlinger’s record was 5-3, his E.R.A. an impressive 3.28.

Neidlinger speaks proudly of his major-league debut, six solid one-run innings. He recites details of his first loss, a tough-luck two-hitter, and of five consecutive wins. And he still shakes his head over being relieved just one out away from career victory number six.

But that was it. Neidlinger didn’t get another chance to pitch in the majors. He played

“I appeared in 60 games,” Whitehouse recalls. “For what­ ever reason, I was 7-1.

Whenever I hit the mound, we scored runs. I’d go in and, next thing you’d know, we’d hit three home runs and a grand slam and I’d have a vic­ tory.”

competitive ball now. He played with the Burlington As o f the local Northern League until three or four summers ago. Even then, he hoped for a miracle comeback. But his arm still hurt, and no teams called.

“I finally realized it wasn’t going to happen,” Whitehouse says with a smile. “I always thought a bolt o f lightning was going to come out o f the sky and heal my arm. It didn’t.”

Jim Neidlinger didn’t quit because o f arm troubles. He just wasn’t having fun any­ more, and didn’t want to be known as a career minor lea­ guer. So in 1994, at age 29, he

packed his bags'and headed home to Vermont. “I pitched on a Saturday, retired on a Sunday,” he says.

Today, Neidlinger works at the Green Mountain Sports Center in Essex Junction and teaches baseball to kids. He proudly points out the most recent additions to one o f the facility’s indoor soccer fields: permanent lines for a baseball diamond.

Whitehouse also teaches.

He’s come full circle, coaching the same team — the North End Giants — he once played on. “Coaching Little League is my opening day now,” he says.

As he tries to pass on the national pastime to a new crop

o f 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds, Whitehouse can’t help but con­ sider the irony.

“When I was a kid,” says the left-hander, “I was dream­ ing I could be in the big leagues. As an adult, I’m dreaming I could be back there.”

Neidlinger, too, knows all about that dream. “I was pitch­ ing in Dodger Stadium,” he says. “I left the game with one out in the ninth inning, and a crowd o f 50,000 people gave me a standing ovation. That feeling will be with me for an eternity.” (7)

most hilarious word in the English language. If people knew how disgusting 11-yearold boys really are, they’d drown them all at birth. If I were complaining about any­ thing except summer, as a mat­ ter of fact, I could start a new 12-step program and probably sue my parents for damages.

But no — I’m stuck with the only remaining shamebased, taboo illness in the nation. You might as well tell the world that you don’t like to dance as say that you wish it would rain. Either way, people don’t believe you. I mean, they really don’t think it’s possible.

They can’t even conceive o f it.

They moan all the time about the winters — how long they are and how cold it is and how depressed they’ve been because they don’t get any sunlight.

There’s even a medical diagno­

sis for this condition: Seasonal Affective Disorder, abbreviat­ ed, in case you didn’t get it, to S.A.D. But just try telling some­ one that you’ve got Summer Unilateral Crumpling in the Corner and Lamenting It Syndrome (S.U.I.C.I.D.A.L.S.) and see how far you get.

“Oh, come on,” they’ll all say. “You just need to get out­ doors!”

Maybe it was the baseball games that did it to me. I don’t know. My father was a Farm League coach — Farm League comes just before Little League, unless they’ve out­ lawed it — and I played on the Tigers for five agonizing, traumatizing, character-warp­ ing years. It was beyond the capacity o f anyone in America to understand that I didn’t like

Other kids got parties and presents and favors from the teachers, while I got tortured by spunky gals with volleyballs and whistles around their necks who thought that summer camp was what God intended for children all along.

Yes, that’s right. I was made to feel “less than” because I wanted to stay home and read a good book. I didn’t like sand in my ears or bugs up my nose. I thought there must be something better than sharing a tent with spiders and rac­ coons and six pubescent boys who thought “snot” was the

This production’s faults are few, but notable. An unfortu­ nate blocking choice denies the audience a look at Beatrice’s face when Don Pedro proposes to her. The use o f dark imagery — the evil Don John’s black costume among an otherwise gaily garbed cast, his stark black hair and beard, and the dim lighting of his scenes — reads overstated and trite. And it all goes just a step too far when the Prince’s guard chants “Ohree-oh” a la The Wizard o f Oz. This addition jars the audience out o f 1598 Messina, and forces them to reestablish their disbe­ lief at the expense of the cast.

These flaws aside, produc­ tion values soar. Alan Mosser’s costumes are more than beauti­ ful; they support the story.

Supporting the headliners is an outstanding cast. Kent Cassella steals the show with his hilarious Dogberry, the brusque, bumbling, verbally inept constable. David McCann is solid and poised throughout as Don Pedro, Grace Hsu pro­ vides an endearingly innocent Hero and Mark Nash is at his seethingly evil best as Don John. And who but Kathryn Blume — Vermont’s queen o f . high-speed enunciation — could perfectly deliver the attendant Margarets classic, breathless monologue without

It’s a clever adaptation o f the old Globe Theatre configuration —* a thrust stage with an overhead platform at the rear — but Pickart takes it a step further by adding a third playing level at both sides. Robison takes full advantage o f all this flexible space, even so far as to upstage ts o f stories being told

P r o f it slipping into our subconscious is a message perhaps more radi­ cal in today’s America than it was in Elizabethan England: Marriage is not a natural out­ come o f love, but a way to uphold community traditions, to maintain Financial stability, and to propagate the species.

Hey, nobody said a great night o f summer theater meant you could put politics on hold.

If next month’s Othello proves this company can handle drama as deftly as it presents comedy, Vermont will once again have a summer Shakespeare festival to brag about. ®

ne day Zoot Wilson found himself walking down a stretch o f blacktop. He was hoping to hitch a ride but the traffic had been sparse, all day, and now ominous black clouds gathered overhead. The pencil point on the horizon was the first sign o f hope: an approach­ ing car. Zoot got a little ner­ vous. Here he was, without so much as a hat to protect him from the oncoming storm. He held his right thumb high in the air in hopes o f catch­ ing the driver’s attention.

Zoot woke up, on his back, in the road­ side grass­ es. The storm had passed. He saw his effects — clothes, 78s, his Joe Tex poster, let­ ters, the colored pages o f his latest cartoon — strewn around him where he lay. He was aware o f an intense burning sensation and the faint aroma o f barbecued ribs as he held up his blackened, still-smoking thumb for inspection. His left hand still clutched the handle o f his Salvation Army suitcase, which had exploded a fraction o f a second after the lightning bolt had made contact with his outstretched thumb.

Zoot told this story often.

O

He would show you his deformed thumbnail as proof.

It was the subject o f a wonder­ ful cartoon. Zoot had many such apocryphal stories. oot’s musical history reads like a Who’s Who o f older Burlington bands. In 1973 he formed, with Dan Archer and Grant Hopkins — two friends from the Woodstock Country School — a band called RFD. It would be the first o f many bands to showcase Zoot’s abilities as a singer, guitarist and songwriter.

In 1976, it was the Dogtones, with Dan Archer, Derrick Semler, Nancy Beaven and Tim Baker.

In 1977, Zoot, Grant and Bruce McKenzie became founding members, with Derrick, o f a band called Rice Nez and the Enzones. After Derrick left the band, it was renamed the N-Zones. Gus Ziesing played tenor sax; Ellen Powell soon replaced Grant on bass. This quartet soon became a favorite area band and played frequently at the Mill in Winooski and Nectar’s in Burlington.

By 1978, Joe Moore had replaced Gus Ziesing on sax

This is Don Ameche's favorite song, Zoot would say, then kick into the opening verse of "Hound Dog."

and I had replaced Ellen Powell on bass. Then Dan replaced me on bass. Then Joe left the band.

Then Dan left and was replaced

by Mark Ransom. Then Drew Zing joined on guitar. Then Don Sydney. Then Peter Riley replaced Mark and Bob Keepin replaced Don, but on sax.

Bruce and Zoot weathered it all, and the music was good.

Chico Lager has said the NZones were a major piece o f the financial stability o f the R.W. Hunt Mill and Mining Co., known to most as Hunt’s.

“They were our bread and but­ ter,” he said. After playing New Year’s Eve, 1978, the N-Zones were on a three- to four-week rotation that lasted well into the 1980s. Thousands came to dance, and left with their heads crammed full o f sonically and lyrically derived images that had sprung from Zoot’s imagina­ tion.

During the same period, many remember hearing Zoot and Dan perform as Ham & Cheese. “I’m Ham and he’s Cheese,” Zoot would say, by way of introduction. They had props and an eclectic, irreverent repertoire. Remember the man­ nequin heads on microphone stands which served as back-up singers? Dick Nixon soloing on alto sax? Covers of Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman” and a re-write o f the Johnny Cash standard, “I Walk the Line” — Just pull the twine...

There were other bands Zoot fronted, founded or

named: The Incredibles. Dr. Funk and the Ph Factor. The Reputations. The Tremendous Johnson Blues Band, to list a few. But the N-Zones were the principle vehicle, from 1977 until 1987.

This is Don Ameche’s favorite song, Zoot would say, then kick into the opening verse o f “Hound Dog.” This tune, by Lieber and Stoller, became as much a signature song for Zoot as it was, c. 1953, for Big Mama

Thornton or, a few years later, for Elvis Presley. I heard dancers mutter, “That’s my favorite,” after having been exhausted by three and a half, maybe four minutes, o f “Hound Dog.” But there were many favorites.

Original songs like “Wally Rides the Ferry,” “At the Diner,” “Mystery Blues” and “Boogie ‘til Your Head Caves In.” R&B standards like “300 lbs.” or “Shake, Rattle and Roll.”

ZOOT C ontinued fro m page 15 What’s remarkable is how many o f the tunes became the favorites of the thousands who came to see the N-Zones. It is hard to define what it was about the band... Chico recalled that he didn’t book the N-Zones to play his wedding.

They came as invited guests, and played because he couldn’t

their lives. Chuck Dakota said it, simply and convincingly on the telephone the other day: “You couldn’t ask for a more intelligent or entertaining com­ panion.” This was as true onstage as it was in person. His charisma made the stage seem wider and deeper than it was.

The light seemed somehow brighter when it found him in its path. The dance floor was never as hot or as crowded.

He could dial in the size o f his persona, onstage and off, as the situation demanded. He would focus himself for you if you did not provide the focus.

Somehow, when I think o f it, his sense o f humor assumes the proportion o f legend.

As I drove through the rain on the morning Zoot’s obituary appeared in the Free Press, I wept again — this time for all who had not yet received word o f his death. There is no way, really, to cushion the impact of Zoot’s death, or anyone’s j death. The event seemed, for > many, the nearly inevitable 5 outcome o f his heartbreaking - struggle with alcohol and I heroin addiction. It was a struggle which, ultimately, 3 made it impossible for him h to perform. His death has broken many hearts.

Zoot will be remembered by many, for many different reasons. I remember him, at this moment, in the summer of 1979: The sun is falling across one o f those straw slouch hats, with a piece of green translucent sunshade worked into the brim. He is smiling and has raised one eyebrow and manipulated his face into the familiar mask of the “Sophisticate.” It always makes me laugh. His purple Duster is parked nearby, beside a makeshift stage. His face is suddenly serene. He surveys the crowd. He has his eye out for the underdog.®

“I can’t recommend a course o f eradication without knowing what you’ve got there.”

They’re maggots, the woman insists, and they’re coming out o f the wainscoting.

What should she do?!

Hanson grins. “Boy, I’d be really interested to see what they are.” She’s getting excited now. The woman on the phone is desperate to be rid o f the icky vermin that have invaded her hotel, but Hanson, a young-looking 44-year-old most commonly clad in a plaid shirt and jeans, is dying to see them. What she loves most about her job — she’s paid by the state of Vermont to help keep its forests healthy and maintain biodiversity — is the thrill o f identifying weird bugs.

Trish Hanson _j creeps In In keeping keeping with its mission to guard guard the the Green Mountain State’s greenery from six-legged evils, the Lab tracks pests like pear thrips, which feed on

maple buds, and Asian long­ horn beetles, which have recently caused a stir by attack­ ing trees that grow in Brooklyn.

Currently, Hanson is coordinat­ ing an effort to document the state’s endemic bark beetle species.

Some types o f bark beetle destroy valuable wood, while* others help maintain vigorous growth by degrading stressed 4, trees. To the naked eye, these C little guys are as indistinguisfijgf able as shrew turds. Check * them out at 40x magnification* though, and you can see the rhinoceros-like armature, the fanned, dub-style antennae, fancy as sea anemone, and all the other attributes that make one bark beetle as different ’ from another as lasagna is from linguine.

Most o f Hanson s time, 'V though, is devoted to diagnostic work. The bug-phobic among | us will not be happy to learn ;: that Vermont is home to 38 species o f mosquito, 1500 vari­ eties o f moth and thousands o f beetles. While many o f these bitty beasts can be identified by insect experts throughout the state, the anomalies come to Waterbury, along with more common finds. Hanson’s daily mail might contain gnawed maple leaves stuffed in a film canister, or head lice stuck to a o f tape. Once, a package gift-wrapped day paper with a “Happy Birthday, was found in the shower friend. My friend was in Kathmandu.” Other samp are delivered in person.

“People will come in itch­ ing and scratching, with a vial that looks empty,” Hanson relates. When that happens, she knows to look for fowl mite.

In some ways, being an entomologist is like being a librarian. Hanson identifies species, maintains data and col­ lections o f specimens, and makes sure the information she C o n tin u ed on page 2 2

gathers is easily accessible to others. “I try to keep most of what I get,” she says. “When I write back my findings to the people making inquiries, I tell them that their specimen has become part o f the state collec­ tion.”

This collection also includes some exotic trophies Hanson gathered herself. There’s a Morpho butterfly with lumi­ nous blue wings she snagged in Peru. There’s an enormous black beetle she wrapped in a napkin as it crawled across her table in a Honduran restaurant.

And there’s a huge yellow moth she caught in a light trap, also in Honduras, shortly before her party was surrounded by men with machine guns.

The state bug collection is a powerful testament to the awe­ some variety of nature. But for sheer thrill power, these rigid, carefully mounted displays just can’t compare with a tank full of bad-ass roaches from Madagascar that hiss and grab hold o f you when you touch them. Especially when they break loose of their confines, as Hanson’s pets have done several times. The first escape came the day the Waterbury building was being dedicated. The place was swarming with dignitaries and members o f the press, and Hanson was sure her AWOL 4 roach would crawl up some­ one’s stockings or cross a cam­ era lens. Luckily, she was able to track the escapee by follow­

ing the trail o f his droppings.

Another time, a defector cockroach was found hanging like a bat from the ceiling o f a two-story stairwell. A crowd of state workers gathered, wonder­ ing how to retrieve it. Hanson suggested getting a bunch of rubber-bands and shooting it down. But a chemist from

The sta te bug collection is a powerful te sta ­ ment to the awesome vari­ ety of nature.

But for sheer thrill power, these rigid, carefully mounted dis­ plays ju st can t compare with a tank fuLl of bad-ass roaches from Madagascar.

Environmental Conservation reached into his pocket and pulled out a spring-loaded, plastic toy pistol. As the crowd cheered him on, he took aim,

fired, and brought down the errant roach. Since then, Hanson has added clamps to the fish-tank lid.

Wednesday morning, a tidy package arrives at the Forest Biology Lab by Priority Mail.

Inside, swaddled in plastic wrap, are four writhing white creatures, looking like demonic short-grained rice. Examining the frisky foursome under her microscope, Hanson quickly picks out their hooked mandibles at one end and their pig-snout air holes at the other.

They’re maggots, alright: blowfly larvae that have proba­ bly been feeding on a dead ani­ mal in the fancy inn’s crawl space.

Hanson phones up the innkeeper. “We couldn’t stand it any longer so we called the exterminator,” the woman at the other end reports. “He found four dead birds above the ceiling.”

Hanson turns back to her specimens. She gives them a quick bath in boiling water, then drops them into a vial of diluted ethanol. She labels the vial with the critters’ order (Diptera) and family ( Calliphoridae). After adding the date, the name o f the dis­ traught, inadvertent collector, and the fact that the subjects were found “at large in house,” she lovingly nesdes her pickled maggots among her other wet specimens. “They’re a good record,” she says with satisfac­ tion. “I’m glad to have them.”

n Monday morning after the U.S. Open, winning golfer Ernie Els had a check for $465,000. Tiger Woods still had Nike. And the bulk o f the wannabe golfing public faced another nine-tofive grind at the office.

o f using that time to build a business off o f it.” With a cus­ tomer list o f 166,000 fitness­ conscious consumers going nowhere fast on $725 rowing machines, this business — in its 20th year — is well-afloat.

At last year’s Olympics in Atlanta, 85 percent o f all the oars used by scullers were Dreissigacker’s.

But while the product has made his a household name at the Henley and on the Charles, in the New England cycling scene Lussier has had a different experi­ ence. “I’ve sort of lost my name,” he says, though with­

tors at the back o f the pack, Lussier explains. “It’s like a small team versus a big team, where they try to block your every move,” he adds, in a ref­ erence to standard road-racing tactics.

five finishes,” says Chris Lussier o f Colchester, a Category III state cycling champion and the very energetic force behind smartFUEL energy products. In the last 12 months, Lussier has gone from peddling his energy bars and drinks from the back o f his van to a half-million-dollar mail-order business that’s growing monthly.

Dick Dreissigacker, presi­ dent and co-owner o f Concept II in Morrisville, is already a winner. Built for crew and schooled in engineering at Brown and Stanford, the sixfoot-four Dreissigacker seems prepared to rise to the top o f any talent pool. Back in 1972, he rowed in a coxless four at the Munich Olympics. Today, he sits atop a multi-million-dollar company that is the world’s leading manufacturer o f

dreams. In the case o f two Vermont athletes, talent and training are also driving them in the world o f sports-related business.

“I think athletes that are driven to business pursuits are athletes that are driven to top-

sculling equipment and indoor rowing machines.

ATHLETES IN BUSINESS Continued from page 23 has “wreaked havoc” on his cycling career, he continues to compete because, he says, “for me the carrot is still there.”

Just one point shy o f “elite” road racer at the launch­ ing o f smartFUEL, Lussier has had to temporarily adjust his competitive goals. “I never had any delusion I’d make it as a professional athlete,” he says o f his quest, “but I kind o f want­ ed to make it to the elite level.”

One advantage for those who do make it to the upper eche­ lon, he ventures, is that, with athletic goals fulfilled, they can redirect their energy to busi­ ness.

For his part, Dreissigacker’s never been able to shake his water bug. “I really thought I was going to stop rowing many times and just go on to the next thing,” he muses. “It kept

coming badfeomehow.”

Although the racing — both on the water and indoors with ergometers — is less seri-

know only too well, being a “team player” is the sports analogy most often invoked by new-age managers. Yet

definitely a lesson there for what has to take place in business.”

Similarly, Lussier will tell

Back in 1972, Dressigacker rowed in a coxless four at the Munich Olympics.

Today, he sits atop a multi-million-dollar company that is the world’s leading manufacturer of sculling equipment and indoor rowing machines. ous these days, Dreissigacker credits his continued involve­ ment with crew as an impor­ tant source o f inspiration and feedback for new products.

“There’s no way you can be out there,” he says o f the rowing business, “without actually using the equipment.”

As the Dilberts o f the world

Dreissigacker s learned some important lessons on the water, including the time when he teamed up with his brother — and Concept II partner — in a pairs scull for the 1976 Olympic Trials. “A team boat is really the ultimate in ‘team,’” he says. “You’re sort of giving yourself up, and I think there’s

you that smartFUEL is energy food for all athletes, though its heart and soul is based in cycling. Even the product idea was born on a bike ride with a friend, who was eating toasted pastries as a less expensive alter­ native to energy bars. “They may be cheaper,” Lussier mused, “but they’re not very

smart fuel to be racing and o f t.”

For better or worse, when Dreissigacker and Lussier leave the office, they can’t exacdy leave business behind — they’re literally married to them.

Dreissigacker’s wife is a veteran rower and 1976 Olympian who helps him test products; Janet Lussier avoids the fate o f “golf widows” everywhere by riding the road-racing circuit. Her place in the blurry world between business and sport was underscored recently during a frenzied sprint to the finish line. A race official, at a loss for her proper name, reflectively announced over the loudspeak­ er, “And here comes Mrs. smartFUEL.” While certainly not a just dessert for any ath­ lete at the end o f competitive road, for Lussier and company, a little free advertising is no small consolation prize. ®

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS Bv

his may shock you: There is a segment of the population which regards me as unre­ lentingly negative. For the 14 years that I’ve been reviewing movies in print and on televi­ sion, I swear not a week has gone by without someone say­ ing to me, “You never like any­ thing.” This is far from true, I explain — people just tend to remember the more withering, incendiary and blisteringly witty reviews rather than the more positive, less pyrotechnic ones. Also, most movies blow, so what do you want from me?

My point is that I applaud good work whenever I find it and, just to show you how uplifting I can be, I thought I’d devote a whole column to say­ ing nothing but 100 percent nice stuff about a few of my favorite things happening these days on the wonderful world of television.

SYNDICATED SEINFELD With the possible exception of my wedding day and the birthdays o f my kids, the hap­ piest day o f my life has to be the day Jerry went into syndi­ cation. This is the Promised Land. Life is good, complete beyond my dreams, because I can now watch this transcen­ dent program every day but Saturdays. Twice on Sundays and Thursdays. In my humble opinion, the Pledge of Allegiance should be updated to reflect this serious national bounty: “...with liberty, justice and non-stop ‘Seinfeld’ re-runs for all.”

FUTURE TALK With the revolutionary “Politically Incorrect,” Bill Maher has turned the talk show inside-out, mixing and matching notables from any and all fields with hot-button issues that don’t get touched anywhere else. The result is just too devilishly funny, too jampacked with pithy repartee and, tragically, on too late for me to watch as often as I’d like.

ClSses meet on alternate Saturdays.

TH OSE SAUCY CHANNEL 5 AT SUNRISE NEWS A N D WEATHER VIXENS The programming wizards at the local NBC affiliates have made getting up at an ungodly hour infinitely less painful by pairing two unusually bright, likeable and attractive profes­ sionals for its early-morning news broadcast. Cindy

S E V E N DAYS

Fitzgibbon on weather, Lori Roghman behind the news desk and freshly brewed coffee in my mug make for an allaround steamy way to start the day when the kids decide to get the show on the road early.

THE NEW RELIABLE Nothing says Sunday morn­ ing to me like Bernard Kalb’s feisty, unpretentious news and culture roundtable, “Reliable Sources.” The C N N produc­ tion’s issues range from analysis o f the news media’s evolution toward entertainment to barbs at the expense o f the high and mighty in business, media and government. Each week’s episode seems to whiz by faster than the last. All the snap, crackle and pop o f other Sunday news shows, but with none o f the ego and heavyhanded overseriousness.

MUST-SEE TV “Friends,” “News Radio,” “Men Behaving Badly,” “Frasier.”

Though I never ever feel compelled to watch “Mad About You” on Monday nights.

EVERYTHING LOOKS DIFFERENT IN THE M ORNING On the other hand, “Mad About You” is a landmark addi­ tion to my morning now that it’s broadcast locally at 9:30 a.m. Next to “Regis and Kathie Lee,” this thing looks like a Woody Allen movie.

SATURDAY N IG H T ’S ALRIGHT Sure, it has its ups and downs, but Saturday night wouldn’t be the same without the live broadcast named after it. Dennis Miller was smarter and funnier as the producer o f the “Weekend Update” seg­ ments than Chevy Chase ever was and, if you ask me, the new guy, Norm MacDonald, is even funnier than that. Even if I only last for half an hour most weeks, I’m eternally grate­ ful that the show is still there.

BACK TO TH OSE W PTZ M O RN IN G NEW S VIXENS Shag-a-delic newsbabes aside, the cool thing about the Channel 5 morning newscast is that it features short syndicated portrait-of-America reports from one o f my journalistic heroes, Charles Kuralt. This guy packs more humanity, high spirits, intelligence and lyricism into 60 seconds than you’ll find on some channels in the course o f a day. In an industry

overrun by blow-dried, semi­ literates this bassoon-voiced poet is the last o f his breed.

O NCE IS N O T ENO UG H Have the producers of “Dateline” got moxie or what?

Has anyone else in history ever presumed to put the same news magazine show on numerous times a week? It’s inspired. For years American viewers waited for Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” for their fix. Finally, it dawned on some NBC exec: Hey, let’s just give ’em a snap­ pier version o f the same show and not keep them waiting. In fact, let’s 86 a truckload o f less interesting stuff and just run the bejesus out o f this baby night after night. I thought the day would never come when being the TV news magazine without Andy Rooney would be a plus, but mark your calen­ dar: It’s here.

YO UTH PRO­ GRAMMING IS WASTED O N THEYOUNG I kid you not — much o f the most spine-tin­ gling, ground­ breaking, not to mention edge-cut­ ting television out there now can be found on, of all places, the Nickelodeon Channel. In the beginning I watched as a courtesy to my then-five-year-old, but now I tune in whether he wants to or not. Shows like “Hey, Arnold,” “Doug,” and “Rugrats” are rou­ tinely funnier and more inven­ tive than 90 percent o f the stuff other networks gear to adults, but the crown jewel ol kids’ TV is a little Dada-meetsMattel masterpiece called “Action League Now!” which is part o f a 30-minute anthology show called “Kablam” which airs on Friday and Saturday evenings. “Action League Now!” is a 10-minute or so deliberately low-rent, stopaction segment involving the antics o f a team o f superheroes who are, in fact, inexpensive and dilapidated plastic dolls and, unless I’m crazy, the writ­ ing is very possibly the funniest on TV. See? I can be as positive as the next cynical, acerbic media critic. It felt good to give credit where credit is due, o f course, but the best part about this lit­ tle exercise is that I will now, in the interest o f balanced report­ ing, get to devote next months column to The 10 Lamest Things on TV. Now that’s entertainment.®

For efficiency's sake, I’ve decided to begin all my reviews o f dopey, bloated sequels with the same standard remark this summer, simpiy filling in the tide o f the most recent specimen — in this case, Batman an d Robin. If the makers o f these things aren’t going to put any energy into ensuring DRESSED FDR EXCESS Clooney an d O 'D onnell make a less than freshness, I don’t see why their reviews shouldn’t be equally formulaic dynamic duo in Joel Schumachers splashy bu t vapid sequel.

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the principle bad guy this time around — a walking major appliance ^ r’ ^ reezehas to be the least compelling villain in the series so far, even less than Danny # D eVitos obnoxious Penguin.

Hamrell also advises not running on hills, and using ice and stretches to help the knee heal o* to prevent further mjury.

According to Jana Hamrell, certified athletic trainer with the Sports and Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center in Colchester, many runners are affected by “patella semoral pain syndrome,” which occurs when the muscle on the outside o f the thigh is stronger than that on the inner thigh. This pulls the patella, or knee cap, out o f place and can lead to chronic pain under and around it.

“This is a fairly common problem and there’s there s no real pattern [as to why it occurs],” says Hamrell.

ARIES

(Mar. 2 1 -Apr. 19): W hen I finally g ot around to your horoscope this week, I was feeling abnorm ally j lazy. 1 barely had enough energy to draw up the usual planetary charts. I I wanted the cosm os to co m e hand m e your oracle on a silver platter. In desperation, I decided to try what the ancient fortune-tellers called bibliom ancy. M oseyin g over to m y bookcase, I closed m y eyes, pulled out a book, and opened it at random . T h e passage I turned to captured the m eaning o f your astrological aspects perfectly. It read: “T h e Taoist concept o f w u -w ei is the view that hum ankind’s active, creative forces are dependent on inactivity; that doing n oth in g m ay be the best way to get som eth ing d o n e .”

TAURUS (Apr. 2 0 -M ay 20): Let’s consider the word “ch a in .” For better or worse, it’s your keynote this week.

I he dictionary gives tw o main definitions: 1) “anything that restricts or con fines;” 2) “a series o f objects or people that are linked together, either by co m m o n interests or in a logical sequence.” A n d o f these tw o m eanings, Taurus, w hich will predom inate in your life in the days ahead? It cou ld go either way. But I will say this: To the degree that you cultivate the second m eaning, you ’ll be able to avoid the first.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Even if you’re a closet aristocrat, 1 suggest you apply the blue-collar approach to all your challenges this week. That means thinking with your body, being v g in g to get your hands d i rcy, and

especially means that you shouldn’t let your fine intellect get too fine. Use it to perform very concrete wonders — like for instance dragging you away from, n ot in to, a tim e-sucking maze.

CANCER (Ju n e21-Ju ly 22): I b oldly predict that on e way or another, this will be a sum m er o f mastery for you. Alt, but h ow will you use your m agic powers? W ill you choose ro h on e your skills at activities like spitting waterm elon seeds long distances, driving a car w ithout your hands on the steering wheel, and op en in g beer bottles with your teeth?

O r will you build your expertise in more sober pursuits like cultivating intim acy, creating graceful boundaries, and sm artening up your relationship with money? W hichever direction you go, there’s a good chance you ’ll be a superachiever.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I suspect that the old TV series, “The Prisoner,” is a parable for your own life in the coming weeks. In that show, the hero was kidnapped from his home and then left in a beautiful, well-populated village filled with all the amenities. He quickly realized, however, that the place was a prison. Some o f his fellow inmates were friendly and others were adversaries, though it wasn’t always dear which was which; and everyone was known only by a number i o f a name. During the short | ‘! the series, the hero spent mt |p n e trying to escape or

tyramu<

h im self was N um ber 1.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Virgo from Utah has threatened to take legal action unless I give him even more guidance than he’s been able to glean from m y colu m n. “I’ve got to m ove on w ith m y life,” he com plained, “and I can’t until you expand on your advice in my last horoscope. I recom m end you call m e back about this because if you d on ’t I plan to sue your ass.” I’m m ystified by rhis m an’s paralysis and desperation — especially now, when by every astrological indicator you Virgos should be waxing in polirical, social and personal power. I’m quite sure you d on ’t need no stinking directions from no stinking authorities and experts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can’t whistle with another person’s mouth, Libra. You can’t sit in your new power spot with another person’s butt. For that matter, you shouldn’t try to dream with another person’s heart, nor should you fantasize that you can fix your relationship with yoursdf by getting^nyone and everyone else to change. But here’s the weird thing: You can seek your fortune with another person’s money.

words o f poet A n n e W aldm an, “d oin g the work to please the deities, to keep the energies dancing, not just to have a safe and tenured career.” In honor o f your ow n entry into the outrider phase o f your yearly cycle, dear Scorpio, I offer you the follow in g visualization: Im agine kissing a holy freedom fighter.

It could be the Dalai Lama or Burma’s N ob el Peace Prize winner A ung San Suu Kyi, or anyone w ho inflam es your desire to experim ent and dare and struggle to bring more beauty and truth and justice into the world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 2 2 -D ec.

21): It w ould be an excellent tim e to fantasize about w ho you’d like to be in your next incarnation. I d on ’t m ean to im ply that you ’re about to exit your current body; not at all. I do believe, however, that you’ll find it w ildly rewarding to start laying the karmic groundwork for the con d ition s you ’d like to be born in to next tim e around.

Suggested first task: M editate on h ow you can thoroughly wrap up the longest-running unfinished business in your life.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

candidate you eventually com e across is likely to have qualities far more con d u cive to in citin g your im agination w ith o u t the torturous side-effects.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “M y idea o f h eaven ,” says noted Aquarian O prah W infrey, “is a great big baked potato and so m eo n e to share it w ith .” A nd m aybe there are tim es w hen the rest o f y ou Aquarians find that a vision o f paradise, too. But I’m afraid you ’re gonna have to do better than that this week. M odest goals and w im p y fantasies just w o n ’t cut it in the face o f the tricky adversaries and fresh obstacles you ’re about to encounter. So dream bigger, m y friend. Dream tougher.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You’ve reached a point that has some similarities (though much less dramatic, of course) to the moment many years ago when an obstetrician severed the fleshy tube that linked you to your mother. This time around, fortunately, you’re much berter prepared to make the break; and besides, the umbilical cord is only ||;: metaphorical. Still, the sensation be pretty bracing — and maybe liberating than you’re able to first. ®

If you go desperately and compulsivel;

searching for a new muse this week, the one you find will probably be toting a Supersoaker and wearing a SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If I Latex catsuit, fuzzy bunny ears and I^Cf l^ in e ^ lh y ^ U o tio n at an pink Army boots with six-inch heels. llstitution o f higher learning, it 11 True, she (or he) may be quite capable probably be ar die Jack Kerouac <)f inspiring yoq %*||nta.stic flights 4 f| fancy — but with a kind o f S&M edge.
