EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE FIRE L A N C S New York City workers installed a new fire hydrant at the intersection of Tremont Avenue and Boston Road in the Bronx.

Acknowledging complaints that the hydrant was in the street, five feet from the curb, requiring traffic to go around it, a city official said the hydrant had been installed properly. He explained the curb lane was scheduled to be replaced by a sidewalk, but bad weather >, delayed its construction, although the hydrant was installed on time.

WRONG SPIN ON COUNCIL Ah, Peter Freyne. He never writes about women unless there is something negative to say.

Well, what can we expect from the man whose idea of how to treat a female press colleague is to ask her to perform an obscene act on him?

The spin in his story (Inside Track, June 25) . is: Here’s the new, unencumbered director of the 1 Women’s Council bravely facing down the Progs A few years ago, Robert while the ex-director kowtowed to them.

Dear Cecil, / just hit 40 and still have an unanswered question from my teens that has always bothered me. Aerosmith in "Sweet Emotion’sings about being accused o f impregnating a girl. At the end o f the verse they sing, “Cant catch me cause the rabbit done died, “referring to a pregnancy test.

Arguments start overjust what this test entails. Most say the bunny will die, but cant agree as to why. Some say the rabbit will always die because they kill it before they take its blood (which seems pretty dumb). Some say they inject it with some fluid taken from the woman and it dies a horri­ ble, convulsive death. And some say they have to dissect the rabbit after it has been injected This was before those home test kits, but wasn’t there a better way?

— Joe ShredI, Colonial Heights, Virginia The rabbit test isn’t used much anymore, and, feeling a need to conserve neurons, I hadn’t studied the matter too closely myself.

Frankly, I had the idea that the death of the rabbit signified a positive result; i.e., you were pregnant. Always struck me as weird. What were you supposed to do, cheer for the rabbit to die?

Turns out I was misinformed. The bunny dies regardless of the out­ come of the test — not altogether happy news, but at least we get away from the unfortunate equation of one more human » one less rabbit. I learn this from Clark, head of the surgical division of the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board. Clark scoffed at the idea that one could obtain * accurate scientific knowledge from Aerosmith tunes. He preferred UM*A*S*H” (the TV show), which had a relevant episode.

Here’s the background. In the rabbit test and other pregnancy “bioassays” (animal-based tests), you injected some of the woman’s urine m t o ^ < ^ e r and observed what ^pencd^P uri»8 «vly?pwgri nancy the hi^ejontains an elevated level of hCG (human chorionic ^ gonadotropin),,%bkirtrigger$. “corpora b<lno«•hag^ca’, (bulging mass­ es) in the female rabbit’s ovaries. Grim though these sound, the real problem for the rabbit was that you couldn’t see them if the rabbit . dissect it. The difference in the “M*A*S*H” episode — I believe they ..... pregpftt -T- was that

I I ------- ---------------------------; ■ - „ Summer in the mountains. The town’s full * of tourists. Sailboats on the lake. But where is 1 our governor, Howard B. Dean III? | The governor’s office didn’t fax around a I weekly schedule of “public appearances” for this jj week, so yours truly called ’em up on the tele1 phone. Gubernatorial Press Secretary Stephanie | Carter said there was no schedule because Gov. | Dean was not making any public appearances I this week.

“Where is he?” we asked.

I “On vacation,” she said. | “Where?” we asked. | “In Virginia,” she replied.

“What town?” we asked.

1 Stephanie said she didn’t know. W hat’s up? | Surely Ho-Ho’s trusted press secretary and | spokesperson must know where Ho-Ho is at ®any given moment. Part of the job. But ®Stephanie wasn’t saying. Why the secrecy?

1 “Vacation,” she repeated. “He’s on vaca| tion.”

I So we called the office of our first lady, HoHo’s doctor wife, Judith Steinberg, and learned 1 that she was on the job Monday seeing patients.

1 Vacation without the missus?

Then we called Lite-Gov Doug Racine *' down at the car dealership. Dougie checked his schedule and confirmed he’d been the acting governor of Vermont all weekend. See, whenever the Gov departs the Green Mountains and cfosses the state line, the Lite-Gov takes over. Doug said he’d be the act­ ing governor of Vermont through next weekend. And no, he didn’t know where Ho-Ho was.

Look, it’s a big country out there, and Virginia’s a big state, and we don’t have the time or resources to go looking for the governor of Vermont in Dixie.

So if anyone reading this sees Dr. Dean, the kind of short chief executive with the thick neck and flashing smile, please tell him to call home.

As for his royal spokesper­ son, well, obviously she’s not in the information business.

On the Road — Our congress­ man was also on the road this weekend and, unlike the strange situation with our governor, our congressman’s staff had no qualms about saying where he actually went.

Bernie Sanders went to Palo Alto and Berkeley, California, to promote his new book among left-wingers on the West-Coast. Hey, they love him out there. Fact is, Outsider in the House needs promoting. For a review of Bernie’s Bible, check page 19 in this issue.

Women’s Council Update — The former direc­ tor of the Burlington Women’s Council did not take kindly to last week’s Inside Track. Peggy Luhrs blew her stack when she read it, and her I first stop was City Hall. The current council ®director, Jennifer Matthews, tells Inside Track I that Luhrs was in a foul mood when she | stopped into the office. Seems that what irked | Peggy rnost was the insinuation that she did not „ know Matthews was “straight” when she ^ approved her hiring as the BWC’s second direc1 tor. Matthews says Peggy insisted they’d had a | conversation about the new director’s significant I other — a male — prior to taking over the jj reins. But Matthews tells Inside Track she told i Luhrs that conversation occurred after taking | the job. | That didn’t sit well with Peggy. Matthews says she slammed the door on the way out and 1 also gave it a tattoo with her foot S “It was quite an exit,” says Matthews. “She SMMMM MM MM MMMMMMMM IMMS

But the way federal drug laws are written, 1 Koski’s lawyer, M artin Maley, had to show there was a “substantial likelihood” he would be | acquitted or win a new trial on appeal. Maley „ argued the Canadian “consent” to allow the U.S. to apply its drug laws on Canadian territo- | ry came much too late — after the statute of | limitations ran out. Niedermeier shocked every- g one by buying that argument. He ordered Koski released on just $1000 cash bail. A visibly | angry Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Waples asked for a 24-hour stay of the release order. g Koski went back to the slammer for what he expected to be his last night in jail. But the next 1 day all that changed. Down in federal court in j Rutland, Judge J. Garvan Murtha overruled Niedermeier. No release. No umpiring on Saturday. Close but no cigar.

This week attorneys for the five convicted drug smugglers filed motions for acquittal as well | as for a new trial. It ain’t over till it’s over. ® m

A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY

Hosting symphony soloists is usually no big whoop. A well-tempered clavier here, a wellpressed tuxedo there. But country crossover artist Mark O ’Connor came to Vermont looking for a fight — specifically the Mike Tyson match. The fiddling sensation — who has played with Lyle Lovett and Yo Yo Ma —- played a series of con­ certs with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra last week. But off­ stage he wanted boxing, not Bach. It took a small challenge grant from the Vermont Symphony to get a local bar in Ascutney to buy the fight on pay-per:view so O ’Connor could catch it between concerts. Then symphony director Tom Philion spent a day rounding up the sheet music for the guest fiddler’s next big gig — the Washington wedding of A1 Gore’s daughter. Burlington’s Rollingstock Music came through with the Baptist hymns. And symphony cellist Eugene Kim delivered at the Shelburne Farms concert, on the bluegrass standard “Limerock.” Even O ’Connor agreed he was Ma-velous.

Strawberry Time AT THE ONION RIVER CO-OP

CRAFT CORNER The new executive director o f Frog Hollow is a banker, but not the anal, cash-counting kind. Bill Brooks worked for 20 years as chief executive officer of a savings bank with 35 branches. At 50, he gave up the gold to go to graduate school in folk art studies. More specifically, to count hat boxes as an intern at the Shelburae Museum. Now assistant to the owner of the Virginia Lynch Gallery in Little Compton, Rhode Island, Brooks claims to have “plenty of experience in the retail promotion and selling of painting and sculpture.” And he knows how to run a cash register, too.

FILM SHORTS Phish out of water? Just months after his publishing debut, Phish bassist Mike Gordon is anticipating his cinematic one. Athough no one at the Vermont International Film Foundation has seen Good Wood, there is no doubt the seven-minute short will bring new viewers to an upcoming showcase of Vermont filmmakers in~S«. Albans — albeit baggyassed patchouli pilgrims. Nothing like “developing new audi­ ences for independent media,” as Jay Craven would say . . . Fred Tuttle has a cameo. Dave Giancola is directing. And one of four local leaders — Bernie Sanders, Patrick Leahy, Howard Dean or Peter Clavelle — will play the politician in a family video to be shot in mid-July at Shelburne Farms. New vaudevillean Woody Keppel stars in the film he wrote about a bumbling farmhand — sort of an agricultural “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” from It’s a Fine Mess Productions. He spent two years trying to con­ vince Shelburite to buy into the jjfoject.^ “Ndbhdy is, going to say, ‘Great video, lousy setting,”’ Keppel comments . . .

The bad news about Lorraine Good? She is leaving Vermont with her husband, Karel Samsom, for a three-year stint in the Netherlands. The former director of the Vermont International Film Festival has been a huge help to the newly founded Vermont Film Commission. “I am going to wear the Vermont flag wrapped around me with a film strip hanging from my back,” says Good, who will return twice a year in her new role as “European link” to the commission. “So you are not getting rid of me so easily.”

NEW SUNDAY HOURS 11-7!

BRIEF The majority of Vermont artists are not alt-rock musicians, but painters and sculptors, according to a survey con­ ducted by the Vermont Arts Council. Thirty-seven percent of the respondents are visual artists. The next largest category is multidiscipline,” with 25 percent. Ten percent are musicians, 9 percent are writers and 7 percent are craftspeople. Weighing in with less than 1 percent of the artistic population, opera singers and design artists must be living someplace else . . . Last seen at the Academy Awards for his performance in Fargo, actor Bill •Macy was spotted on a Burlington-bound plane on Monday.

The rubber-faced actor is teaching at Trinity as part of the sixweek intensive theater school started by David Mamet. His schedule is a little crazy right now, but the folks at Adantic Theater Company are trying to get him “to do something” on stage” . . . Speaking of guest appearances, what a surprise to see Free Press reporter M att Sutkoski perched naked on a rock in the current issue of Vermont Unveiled, a naturalist guide to statewide skinny-dipping. Thankfully he is covering his, well, bases.

& ^9 ,

1997

'm watching an old "Gilligan's Island" rerun when Mom yells at me Irom the kitchen, "Tina, I'm making a G&T. Would you like one?"

I

My mom has this idea that as long as she drinks with someone else, she's not an alcoholic. She told me that once. Alcoholics are only peo­ ple who drink belore live in the evening or drink alone. I don't drink much, but she only needs someone to share the first one of the day with her. She pretty much handles the rest of the night's drinking on her own.

I’ve been through “Batman & Robin/j “Lost in Space,” “The Addams Family,” some public television show on fish­ ing, “Catching the Big One.” And now, Gilligan’s getting into trouble. But that’s what it’s always like on this show.

Gilligan gets everyone into trouble, and then gets everyone out of trouble, too.

Mom’s standing in the door­ way. No drinks in her hand, just standing there, pulling at her fingers.

“What?” I say.

“There’s no tonic up here.

Could you go check the down­ stairs fridge?” She looks at her hands. “Please? For me?”

She hates going down there.

Ever since that time she went down and found my brother banging his girlfriend on the pool table. There’s still a stain, still looks wet, right where you’re supposed to cue up the white ball.

“Next commercial,” I say.

She bends around the door frame and looks at the televi­ sion. “It’s a commercial now,” she says.

“I know. That’s why it’s gotta be the next commercial.

It might start anytime.”

She stands there for a minute. Then the show comes back on, and she goes away.

The Professor and the Skipper are trying to comfort Maryann.

She’s got no clue that they’re really just jonesing to untie her little red-and-white top and pull down her pigtails.

Sometimes, I wonder what it’d be like to be her. All wide-eyed and innocent. Dumb and soft like a rabbit.

There are girls like that at

W I N N I N G

school. They always have some jock hanging all over them, a big, meaty arm laying over their shoulders when they walk down the hall. They pretend to push the guy away when he leans over them outside class, nearly cramming them into their lock­ ers, trying to get a kiss, cop a feel. They wander into class, all red and blushing, not looking at anyone, pretending to be embarrassed. I’ve never been like that. I’ll never be like that.

Silly and simple and sweet. Way too late for that.

Mom’s standing there again.

No drinks.

“Tina. Would you please come downstairs with me?”

“Next commercial.”

“I got the tonic,” she says.

“It’s something else.”

I look at her. Her mouth is two thin, red lines of lipstick, like always. I’m wondering why.

Like who’s going to see? She rubs her forehead. Her nails are red, too. All of a sudden, I’m wondering when she got so skinny, when her skin got so hammered. All the cigarettes.

The TV volume jumps up loud with someone talking and laughing. We both look. It’s just a commercial. I get up, turn it off, and follow her into the kitchen, down the stairs by the pantry. I haven’t been in the basement in a long time. I hate it down here, too. Ugly wood paneling, little shitty windows at the top of the walls all cov­ ered with dirt and cobwebs from the outside. Pool table, old furniture, yellow bean-bag chair covered with black ciga­ rette burns.

Congratulations to Laurel Saville of Jericho for taking top honors in the first annual Emerging Writers in Short Fiction competition, sponsored by Seven Days and the Book Rack. Her story, “Tinas Island,” was one of 250 entries — a testament to our local literary talent pool, my thanks to our esteemed judges — Huddle, Abigail Stone, Philip Baruth, Jay Parini and Tom Paine — whose collective fiction remains an inspiration to us. And to the Book Rack in Winooski, for its generous support of local writing and publishing.

Owners Mike DeSanto and Rene Reiner donated a $750 cash prize to the winner and $100 gift certificates to the three runners-up: Creston Lea and M. Brooke Capps o f Burlington, and Peg and Laurie King o f Hinesburg. Awards be presented on July 30, 7 p.m., at the BO O K the Champlain Mill.

SEVEN DM*

Records, CD) — I thought I was an optimist, but Vermont/New York singer-song­ writer Derrik Jordan makes me feel like a hardened cynic. You might guess from the title of this 11-song collection, recorded at Brattleboros Soundesign Studio, that he either has a sunny dis­ position or is awaiting his first child. I don’t know about the lat­ ter, but I can tell you that Jordan could benefit from an occa­ sional dark cloud. Despite a substantial, heartfelt voice, packageperfect playing and crystalline production, Expecting a Miracle is too cheery and synthesized for my tastes, kind of a born-again Michael Bolton. Jordan veers toward Stevie Wonder territory, but sans the grit. Some o f these songs are drenched in New-Agey sen­ timent and so polished there’s not much to hang onto — nor to distinguish between tunes like “Something Beautiful” or “Expecting a Miracle” or “Heal the Wounded Child.” Jordan takes the bumper sticker, “Mean People Suck” a little too serious­ ly. But he turns a corner with bluesier stuff like “I Knew You When” and the funk-tinged “Let the Buyer Beware,” thanks to a versatile voice that could wrap around a roadhouse rocker if he wanted it to, and to some fine guitarwork from Marc Shulman (I th in k — producer Tom “T Bone” Wolk is credited with guitar, too). And, despite its humanity-is-fucked preachiness, Jordan demonstrates memorable hooks on the political “Just Another News Day.” The multi-instrumentalist can play some mean per­ cussion, too — his conga, steel drum and guica flavor the upbeat “Gonna Give You Love” with Carib riddims, and he’s down with acoustic guitar and piano as well. Expecting a Miracle starts and ends with pure schmaltz, but in the middle Jordan cautiously cranks up — as if he doesn’t know whether to kick butt or give you a massage. (No surprise to learn he’s previously released a meditation tape.) I suppose he thinks he’s showing versatility, but if he asked me — come to think of it, he did — I’d say lose the honky, smiley-face ballads and use that talent for beefier fare.

And I’m a vegetarian. Derrik Jordan entertains the brunch bunch at LaBrioche in Montpelier, Sunday the 13th.

SEVEN DAYS

(self-released CD) — This project from Craftsbury-by-way-of-New York resident Margot Day is short and sweet — a mere five songs. The eponymous EP is a slice o f pop electronica, sampling power tools, crick­ ets, children, birdies and god knows what else. Mosdy, though, it earns playing prowess from Day’s threeoctove voice — she’s studied opera — and producer/musician Jeff Cooper’s imaginative arrangements. According to her bio, Day was once “an intrigal (sic) part o f the New York City club scene,” performing at The Limelight and CBGB s, but we’re not given specifics. Now living in Vermont, the young diva is exercis­ ing her considerable vocal talent, and flute playing, on dance music in the Ofra Haza vein — you can also hear strains of Nina Hagen, Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush and Yoko Ono. There’s even something about this offbeat collection that Kurt Weill might like; melodies with a weird, slighdy atonal bent and unusual song structures. Instrumental contributions here are from Cooper on percussion, keyboard and samples, Dan Mazur (the band (sic)) on keyboard and Moog bass, Jim Harduby (Channel Two Dub Band) on guitar, additional keys from Paul Harriman and percussion on “Kismet” from someone called Serendipity. DJ Frostee from DysFunkShun. Days weakness is lyrics, epitomized by the line, “W hen I grow up I want to marry a prince and live in a beautiful castle” in “Wishes.” There’s not enough irony pre­ sent to make you think she doesn’t mean it. Romantic, sensual and mystical tendencies give these songs a girlish, fairy-tale bent.

Nonetheless, Day’s got a strong melodic sensibility and powerful voice, and her self-possession shines through. Something tells me she’ll pull off a provocative live show —- Day opens for The Figgs and DysFunkShun Saturday, July 5* at Toast. (Bonus: That’s the night you can get your butt — or any other anatomical tu rf— tattooed with a Big Heavy World logo.)

evening of reflection and entertainment.

Unfortunately, it never gels, due to a script that fails to exploit the visual nature of theater.

The play frequently sabo­ tages itself by telling — rather than showing — us about facts, events and people. We hear about an incident of prejudice, but were robbed of the power of seeing it. A nar­ rator lists historical facts like a school teacher. We learn about a figure from the past through a recorded voice rather than from a full enact­ ment. With so many missed, natural opportunities to evoke emotion, the play relies on Kathleen Keenan’s sweet melodies to do the job. The results, sadly, turn Keenan’s notable efforts into heavyhanded sentiment; instructing the audience when it’s time to feel something.

This script’s potential is suggested in its too-infrequent moments of dramatization and monologue. A paper’s first female reporter tells her own story; a woman con-

Bv Amy R u b i n ost Nation Theater has done it again. With News o f the City/Talk o f the Town, this Montpelier troupe once again creates community theater in the purest sense.

This evening of scenes and songs is by no means polished fare. Rather, it’s an example of Lost Nation’s touching com­ mitment to its community — both in topic and method.

Researched by company members and written by Calais poet Geof Hewitt, News 'is a 100-year retrospec­ tive of Montpelier and Barre newspapers and the events and people they covered.

Clearly, it took a herculean effort to compile the data for this loving tribute to central Vermont. The play manages to touch on an impressive range of topics which shaped the state, including granite workers, a flood, an epidemic, the hippie migration and nuclear waste. Lost Nation’s primarily local, multi-genera­ tional professional/amateur cast nicely mirrors the grass­ roots nature of this piece.

The evening unfolds chronologically, starting with the growing pains of 1897 Vermont — when The Barre Daily Times was founded — and ending with environmen­ tal issues of the 1990s. This is fascinating fodder for an

For example, the Congressman writes of his college days at the University of Chicago. He’d have us believe he spent most of his time there “burrowed deep in the stacks” of the university library. Pretty exciting stuff.

He graduated in 1964. Then there’s a sevenyear gap, after which he pops up in Vermont in 1971, in the midst of the anti-Vietnam War movement, and captures the Liberty Union Party _ . _ nomination for iClUO* the U.S. Senate.

But there’s not a peep about Liberty Union founder Peter Diamondstone.

Nor is there an answer to the number-one question that all red-blooded American men who came of age in the 1960s had to answer: what to do about the draft.

How did Bernie Sanders man­ age to avoid conscription? The answer is not to be found in this book.

Then there’s the sanitized recollection of his 1981 politi­ cal miracle — winning the race for mayor of Burlington. In Sanders’ memory, he achieved victory almost singlehandedly.

“Starting with the low-income and working-class wards, I knocked on as many doors as possible. As I walked through the neighborhoods, I told peo­ ple that I would do my best to represent those in the city who had long been locked out of City Hall.”

IMPERSONAL POLITICS C o n tin u ed fro m page 19

Sanders claims he even won support from “upper-income citizens” by attacking a plan to build luxury high-rise condo­ miniums on the city’s water­ front. What he neglects to mention is that he was not in a head-to-head race with Mayor Gordon Paquette in 1981.

Apparently, he forgot that the real key to his historic victory was the candidacy of Independents Richard Bove, who received 1091 votes, and Joe McGrath, who garnered 139 votes. Sanders won that mayoral race by 10 votes with far less than a majority — 40.1 percent. Maybe this was omit­ ted for space reasons.

And that also must be the explanation for omitting his ardent support for a $100 mil­ lion waterfront development four years later. The Alden Plan, as it was known, was to be the feather in Bernie Sanders’ cap. The plan was boutiques, snazzy restaurants and 120 luxury condominiums on the “people’s waterfront,’ and Bernie Sanders was its chief proponent. It would have been a done deal had the voters not balked. Too bad Outsider in the House doesn’t include the inside track on that political escapade.

But what did anyone really expect — an honest tell-all or a self-serving reconstruction of history? The only mistake our hero owns up to in the entire book is not responding quickly enough to Republican chal­ lenger John Carroll’s television ads in the 1994 congressional race. W hat a revelation!

Outsider in the House is not heading for the best-seller list any time soon. And with a $25 price tag, it’s hardly “afford­ able” for the poor, working class and elderly people Sanders champions. But not to worry.

By the Christmas shopping sea­ son, Bernie’s book will be ' marked down to $1.99 — a great stocking-stuffer for Vermont political junkies. ®

the soul. Hillman is a former Jungian analyst and the founder of archetypal psychol­ ogy, who laments the focus in conventional psychotherapy on childhood and trauma. He begs us to remember what our grandmothers knew: that we each are born with our charac­ ter already in place, and that it is our mission to live up to ourselves. “I believe that we have been robbed of our true biography,” Hillman writes, “and that we go to therapy to recover it. [Our] innate image can’t be found, however, until we have a psychological theory u th a t grants primary psycholog­ ical reality to the call of fate.”

F OURT H OF JULY Everyone loves a parade 10 minutes in Moscow, Vermont —

came to Moscow, the tiny hamlet that straddles the Little River just south of Stowe, to see a woman about a lawn chair. Or, more precisely, several women about several lawn chairs. The mem­ bers of the Moscow All Ladies Lawn Chair Drill Team are, according to some people, the real talent behind Moscow’s quirky Fourth of July parade.

“Talent? Hardly!” exclaims Lynne Scarpa, one of the veter­ an marchers who each year, uh, thrill parade-goers with their synchronized folding and unfolding of lawn chairs to the strains of John Philip Sousa.

“Believe me, talent has very lit­ tle to do with this parade,” Scarpa adds.

Each July 4, somewhere around 10 a.m., most of Moscow’s 100-or-so residents gather on Tom Hamilton’s front lawn to take part in what has become one of Vermont’s — and the nation’s — most off­ beat Independence Day parades. The Moscow version has no organizing committee, no Grand Marshal, no fancy floats and, most importantly, no pretension. W hat it does have is a healthy helping of wry Vermont humor. As Fourth of July visitors to Moscow soon find out, there’s no irony defi­ ciency in this offbeat hamlet.

“We’ve been called bizarre,” explains longtime parade partic­ ipant Anne Lusk, “and we take that as a compliment.” This

from a woman who one year dressed as a cow with, in her words, “gigantic udders” and a sign proclaiming, “I owe it all to BST.” (Lusk was protesting,

Scarpa Member, the All-Ladies Lawn Chair D rill Team Moscow-style, the growth hor­ mone fed to cows.) Another year she and her husband pushed a brass bed full of chil­ dren though the parade, in honor of the hamlet’s label as “Stowe’s bedroom community.”

The parade traces its origins to 1976, when some civicminded Muscovites decided to

Sandal-

celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial.

“There were about 20 of us marching and about eight vil­ lagers watching,’ recalls Tom Hamilton. “It took us less than five minutes to march the 150yard parade route down Main Street, so when we passed the general store, we decided to turn around and march back.”

The route hasn’t changed since, but other things have.

For one, the crowds have swelled; last year more than 1000 bystanders gathered along the route. And the hamlet has, grudgingly, accepted entrants from nearby Stowe. While some parade purists balk at the Stowe Fire Department’s entries — two pumper trucks, a rescue vehicle and a hazardous terrain vehicle, all with flashing lights and wailing sirens — others have made them feel welcome to the otherwise decidedly lowtech parade. “After all, we feel sorry for them because they don’t have their own parade,” Hamilton notes.

Another recent change: the absence of horses. “Stowe’s sirens scared them away,” says Scarpa. “We’ve asked them to turn them off this year.”

Many hope for the return of the horses. After all, for years the newest residents of Moscow were responsible for following in the parade’s wake with a wheelbarrow and shoveling up horse droppings. “It was our way of saying, ‘Welcome to Moscow, ” says Hamilton.

Although there were no horses in last year’s parade, the hamlet’s newest residents, George and Jacquie Gay, duti­ fully brought up the rear, armed with a shovel and a

smashed into the corner of the pack, light it up and smoke hard.

It’s dark. No street lights, just a few houses, no curtains on the windows of the ones we do drive by. The green glow of a television set comes through one window. I see a woman sitting at a table, her head bent down, like maybe she’s praying or something. Or just paying bills. I see some­ one watching TV, a couple having an argument, an old lady washing dishes, someone opening the door for the cat.

I’m looking, looking for something. Like maybe I’ll see a naked couple doing it against the kitchen counter and I’ll know it’s not her husband. I want to see something ugly.

Mom rolls down the win- z dow. Cold air ^on whips in, around the back ^ seat and hits me °° in the side of z the face. I’m ~ about to tell her ^ to shut the window, but she’s :j got the box open, her hand in it. She pulls up a fist full of stuff, gold chains dangling through her fingers like worms in some kid’s hand. She looks at them, then chucks them out the window. Just like that. One of the chains gets caught and she swats at it, shoves it over the edge. She takes a couple of hits on her cigarette. Then she reaches into the box again, feeling around with her fin­ gers, picks up a ring, tosses it out. Then another ring. Then the cigarette. A perfect flick, middle finger against thumb.

I’m thinking: This is someone’s stuff.

We whip by a house, a woman standing at the win­ dow staring out. I’m picturing her in the morning, walking her dirty little dog, seeing something shiny along the road, stopping to pick it up.

Then seeing something more a little further down. Would she keep it? When would she ever wear this stuff? I can see her putting it in a little cardboard box, stuffing it in the back of her underwear drawer, fishing it out once in a blue moon from the big white cotton undies and the industrial trength bras and just

box. It4.all hard, cold. And expensive. Just gold and stones in different shapes and sizes. I pick up a pair of earrings.

Gold posts with dark, reddish brown stones dangling, the color of dried blood. I pull down the mirror on the back of the sun visor, hold them up to my ears. Okay, I think, with a little black dress, at a little French restaurant, dark red lipstick, hair all pulled up with a few strands hanging down. Then I think, yeah, right. I toss the earrings in my palm a couple of times, watch them catch the light, feel their weight. Then I roll down my window.

Out they go. om looks over at me.

She doesn’t smile, just looks; doesn’t turn her head, just her eyes.

Then she closes them, holds them shut a sec­ ond, just long enough to make me wonder if she’s ever going to open them back up at all.

When she does, she’s staring ahead at the road. But I know some­ thing happened.

Like she said something to me that I’m not going to hear until a long time from now.

We sort of take turns. She throws a few things, I throw a few things. We wait for long stretches of road to pass in between. She just grabs at stuff and chucks it sideways out the window. I take my time, sift through, maybe try on a ring, hold a bracelet up to the light, then reach out the window and drop it alongside the car. That way, maybe someone will find it.

M

looking at the stuff, running her fingers over it, until her husband or her kids yell from the kitchen, wanting some­ thing from her.

I’m thinking: I never want to be that woman.

Then I’m thinking about the women who have jewelry boxes like this one, filled with stuff like this. I don’t want to be one of those women, either.

I watch Mom light another cigarette. I wonder if it’s too late to not want to be her.

I put my hand into the

must admit that near the end o f the ski season, the pleasant thought o f read­ ing on a sun-baked beach occasionally enters my mind. Its a daydream of lazy days with cool drinks and vacuous, easy-to-digest Tom Clancey novels. But then, when the snow finally melts and the tem­ peratures rise, I find I can’t quite stom­ ach the lighter fare after all.

There are just too many good books about the “outside” that I still haven’t taken in. From Thoreau to Abbey to McPhee — and perhaps now Krakauer — the book racks are filled with authors whose words lead us on an adven­ ture, or teach us something about the great out­ doors.

The fol­ lowing list of suggestions is by no means com­ prehensive —• if it were it would have to include v Thoreaus Walden, a bike story M ile, From Nowhere

I

reads. In keeping with this issue’s theme of summer read­ ing, here’s a top-10 list — in no particular order — of very readable adventures I’ve enjoyed, or cant wait to take.

1. A Sand County Almanac, by Aldo Leopold.

Oxford University Press, 1949 (pp. 228) Published a year after Leopold’s death while helping his neighbors fight a grass fire, this is the seminal work on land stew­ ardship. But beyond teaching an ethic, Leopold maintains a seemingly

the restoration of a worn-out “sand farm” in Wisconsin.

Leopold should be required reading for developers.

the Everest tragedies, you can go back and read Krakauer’s Outside magazine story (September 1996).

2. Desert Solitaire, by Edward Abbey. The University of Arizona Press, 1968 (pp.238) Dubbed “the Thoreau of the American West,” Abbey bristled at the notion of being a nature writer — he was a writer, period. He was also a park ranger for the National Park Service for 16 years, including three seasons in Arches National Park in Utah, the setting for Desert Solitaire.

Meant as an epitaph for Arches and the Southwest as a whole, the book is also an intensely personal perspective on the desert and the fertile mind of the author.

5. Annapurna, by Maurice Herzog. E.P. Dutton & Co., 1952 (pp. 316) Herzog was a climber, not a writer, by trade. But as the leader of the first expedition to summit an 8000-meter peak, he had as compelling a climb­ ing story as there is to tell.

Considered a climbing classic, Annapurna is as readable and relevant today — for its mes­ sage about teamwork and the human spirit — as when Herzog and eight other French mountaineers scaled the heights of the world.

3. Ron Rood’s Vermont — A Nature Guide. The New England Press, 1988 (pp. 215) Written by one of Vermont’s best natural­ ists and illustrated by the celebrated nature artist Reed A. Prescott III of Lincoln, this is one of the few guide books that can be enjoyed as easily at home as in the field.

But it’s summer, why stay home? The author shares a number of his favorite trips for all to sample. O n the trail of Vermont’s natural world, Rood reveals a multitude of gems that are bound to enrich the outdoor experience of tourist and native alike.

4. Into Jon Kr: Books, Kr; on this l your x > the bes Thin Air, his fi account o f last

6. The Snow Leopard, by Peter Matthiessen. Viking Press, 1978 (pp. 338) Passing under the shadow of Annapurna, Matthiessen makes a 250-mile trek across Tibet to study the bhraral, or Himalayan blue sheep, with world-renowned zoologist George Schaller. Imbued with the mysticism o f Buddhist reli­ gion and the prospect of encountering the near-mythic snow leopard, this tale is both a spirtual journey and one of the best natural history---you’ll ever read.

7. The N inem ile Wolves, by Rick Bass. Clark City Press, 1992 (pp. 162) Though less well-known, Bass is a contemporary writer worthy of discovery by anyone interested in the outdoors — or plain good writing. This extended essay advocates the reintroduction of wolves while relating the true story of one small packs fate near Marion, Montana.

Mowat. Little,

this book as “an attempt to explain to myself why I spent all those years as a slave to a sinking schooner.” Anyone who’s ever sunk their money into a boat will relate to Mowat’s text more than they may care to admit.

9. The John McPhee Reader,

by John McPhee. Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 1976 (pp.

385) For a writer as prolific and accomplished as McPhee, it’s difficult to recommend just one of his books. Fortunately, there exists not one but two John McPhee readers.

Unfortunately, the second part is dominated by selections from his more recent geologybased “rocks books” — pretty heavy lifting for the beach.

Not to worry; pick up the original and open up to old classics like the Brower v.

Domlny section of Encounters with the Archdruid to discover why McPhee’s a champion.

10. W ild Snow, by Louis Dawson. American Alpine Club, 1997 (pp. 229) Call me crazy, but by mid­ summer its either read a ski book or head to the southern hemisphere. Books being cheaper, I often beat a quick to Classic Backcountry Skiing, by Waterbury author David Goodman, just to pon­ der the possibilities of winter.

This summer, fanatics might take a dose of the new W ild Snow, which provides an indepth historical perspective on North American ski moun­ taineering.

And if you prefer to surf, don’t neglect the Web site for Viking Voyage 1000 — the reenactment of Leif Ericsson’s epic journey from Greenland to the only confirmed settle­ ment o f Norsemen in North America, at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.

2. Do not, under any circum­ stances, allow the name of the lead character in your story to match the name of the fiction edi­ tor you’re sub­ mitting to.

On your per­ sonal stationery, do not use a clip art quill pen, inkwell or — mn god forbid - - a scroll of papyrus as your oh-so-hip logo. Instead, to save some time, please just write, “I’m an untalented, uncreative sap with no hope for future suc­ cess” across the top of the page.

5. Unless it’s book-length, don’t ask for the manuscript back.

It’s tacky. And defeatist. Why ask for some­ thing back?

Expect the receiver to keep it. Remember, you’re a genius.

Plus, realistically, it’s cheaper to reprint than to pay the postage.

7. In the cover letter, please do not write: “My piece is a quick, fun read.” And if right now, you’re thinking, “And why not?” then please go work for an HMO. Or play the accordion. You’re not funny.

wheelbarrow. To make them feel part of the event, their children preceded them in a pick-up truck, dropping horse manure from its bed.

The parade has only a few official rules. First, no one can prepare their float any earlier than the morn­ ing of the parade. Second, spending over $ 1 0 is frowned upon. Third, no one can practice. The women who make up the Moscow All Ladies Lawn Chair Drill Team, however, openly flout this rule. “We like to look sharp,” explains Scarpa.

Anyone who has wit­ nessed the spectacle of this Drill Team, resplendent in floral print shirts, shorts and sunglasses, opening and closing their lawn chairs in perfectly synco­ pated rhythm while they march in formation, will forgive them their trans­ gressions.

The men of the Moscow Radio All-Men’s Marching Band abide by the no-practice rule — and it shows. A somewhat dour, seemingly lackluster bunch

casts marching music especially for the parade. Other Muscovites place their blaring radios in open windows, while others turn up their car radios.

It all seems very high-tech, in a low-tech sort of way. And WDEV’s cooperation is a bit of a mystery; no one in Moscow has ever asked the radio station to provide the parade’s musical accompaniment. “It just hap­ pened,” explains Tom Hamilton. “Kind of spooky, isn’t it?”

Although the marching Muscovites are fond of taking pokes at politicos via their floats, they draw the line at allowing them to join their parade. In 1996 — the parade’s 2 0 th anniversary and an elec­ tion year — Governor Howard Dean and Congressional candi­ date Susan Sweetser inquired about joining in. They were told, in no uncertain terms, that they would not be espe­ cially welcome. Wisely, they stayed away.

Each year, as word spreads, the parade grows in popularity, and more and more visitors crowd into tiny Moscow for the 1 0 -minute mini-pageant.

CBS has covered the event; so has the Associated Press and The N ew York Times. Some res­ idents wonder if all this notori­ ety is a good thing. “We used

(insiders explain they abhor any hint of showmanship), they march through the streets with boomboxes solemnly perched on their left shoulders.

On command from their leader, who marches backwards waving a baton at them, they switch their radios to their right shoulders. And back again. Somehow, this works.

Each radio is tuned — fullblast — to Waterbury radio station WDEV, which broad­

to end the parade with every­ body going to the baseball field for Bloody Marys,” recalls Hamilton wistfully. “But now, with all these people and traf­ fic... those days are long gone.”

Even the parade’s stars, the Moscow All Ladies Lawn Chair Drill Team, seem a bit jaded. A few years ago they were invited to the Fourth of July parade in nearby Morrisville to do their thing. “We’d never been invited to march anywhere else before and, frankly, were flattered,” says Scarpa.

After finishing the Moscow parade the team loaded their lawn chairs into several vans and drove the 10 miles to Morrisville. “But by the time we’d gotten there, we’d changed our minds,” Scarpa remembers.

“It just seemed like too much work, and their parade seemed way too organized. So we turned around and came home.”

This year the parade, proba­ bly the shortest in America and surely the drollest, will start around 10 a.m. and finish shortly thereafter. Visitors may be in for a special treat. Rumor has it that members of the Moscow Radio All-Men’s Marching Band have been cheating — they’ve actually been practicing. (7)

life when a skateboarder pleads her case for use of the sidewalk. And, in one lively routine, a chorus of children in adult-size suit jackets become petty legislators. The evening begs for more such effective action, as well as an element linking the scenes.

The plays attempt at a com­ mon thread — the narrator —- fails because the character is ill-defined.

The script also shies away from controversy. The immense impact of immigra­ tion on Barre is sorely absent, racism receives a fleeting ref­ erence, environmentalism and anti-nuke attitudes are treated as common wisdom.

And, while this play gives a well-deserved tribute to Vermont’s 1918 Spanish flu victims, it makes no mention of AIDS. Most blatandy missing is any reference to the current state of print media, other than a suggestion that the nice, quiet newspaper is bet­ ter than the unreliable com­ puter — an amazing state­ ment in the age of on-line publishing, which may alter or end newspapers as we have known them.

While the acting ability is uneven, standouts in the 18member cast include veterans and novices alike. Judy Milstein’s marvelous interpre­ tations and singing are both an asset and liability in this play, sometimes bringing out the best of a scene, another times showing that even her wonderful talent can’t save the script. Tim Tavcar is pol­ ished and poised, Mark Doskow is a charming and highly skilled presence, Ken Carter shows consistent strength and dignity, 13-yearold Dan Kahn is a delight to watch, and nine-year-old Emma Van Susteren is a show-stopper of impressive vocal clarity.

Thanks to a large thrust and ramp playing area, designer Ellen E. Jones was able to use most of the proscenium stage for her wonderful set. Delightfully oversized front pages are sus­ pended in air, two of which double as screens for intrigu­ ing historical slides.

In all, N ew s is a massive project which deserves recog­ nition for good intentions and hard work. So, if you can keep its amateur status in mind, by all means go. You’ll see wonderful enthusiasm and learn something about your home state. And, after the show, when you walk out into the streets you’ve just heard about, you’ll have a new sense of your place in Vermont history, (f)

hen David Pikul started collecting French and European enameled ware in 1983, it wasn’t even consid­ ered collectible — not in France, anyway. Fourteen years later, the antiquer in Amsterdam, New York, is co­ owner of a business that spe­ cializes in the brightly colored kitchenware produced between World War I and II. Today the bold graphics and strongly defined shapes that characterize the utensil racks, coffeepots, canister sets and towel holders in his collection are in great demand. As happens when an antique item grows popular, market prices have risen dra­ matically and supplies have dwindled.

“We call these pieces enam­ eled ware; other collectors use the term graniteware or agatewear,” Pikul explains.

“The pieces are made by coat­ ing metal objects with a glass­ like porcelain composition.

The challenge of the manufac­ turers was to get the two mate-

rials to expand at the same rate when heated.”

Pikul taught high school chemistry in England, Germany, Scotia, New York and Amsterdam, but he claims his interest in enameled ware has little to do with the manu­ facturing process. “It’s like when I take photographs,” he

explains. “I’m not interested in the development process... For me, there’s magic in the pat­ terns and shapes of the enam­ eled ware.”

His brother and sister-inlaw, who live in Burgundy, France, introduced Pikul to enameled ware and continue to search for and ship pieces to him. Luckily, most collectors are more interested in the color, design and rarity of the piece than its condition; Pikul

SEVEN DAYS

SCREEN WRITERS Bv

Barry

Snyder

or the Summer Reading Issue of Seven D ays, Vidiot Savant will take a look at movies about writers — although writers have not been the favored subject of those pop bio-pics that have rolled off the Hollywood assembly line since its earliest days. For one thing, authors are often not wellknown enough to assure the kind of general audience neces­ sary for success. For another, their lives only rarely have those dramatic, larger-than-life ingre­ dients of, say, a Henry VIII or a Wyatt Earp.

What’s more, the basic requirement of the screen biog­ raphy is to entertain rather than provide a factual account.

Screenwriters of bio-pics about authors thus feel free to specu­ late and embellish — where they don’t blatantly fictionalize — and alienate that smaller portion of the audience familiar with the truth.

One of the first films with a historical author as a character creates an entirely fictional con­ text: James Whale’s excellent 1935 The B ride o f Frankenstein.

A brief prologue to the story

pictures Mary Shelley (Elsa Lanchester, who also plays the bride) explaining to her hus­ band Percy Bysshe Shelley and their guest, Lord Byron, that her intention was to pen a moral lesson.

Joined by John Polidori, the writer whose vampire stories predate Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the same Romantic trio are pic­ tured getting together at Lord Byron’s Swiss villa for a night of laudanum, storytelling, sex and supernatural strangeness in Ken Russell’s lurid and hysterical Gothic (1987). Taking consider­ able poetic license, Russell imagines the event as the gene­ sis for two of the greatest fic­ tional creations of the modern era: Dracula and Frankenstein.

Like Gothic , a number of bio-pics about authors seeks to explain, or at least suggest, the origins of a particular work for which an author is famous.

With appropriate delicacy, writer Dennis Potter’s haunting D rea m ch ild { 1985) explores the unusual relationship between the quiet, aging mathematics professor we know as Lewis Carroll (wonderfully played by Ian Holm) and the child he immortalized as Alice in Alice

in Wonderland.

The circumstances behind F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing of The Last Tycoon provide the back­ ground to the sappy and silly Beloved Infidel (1959), the story of the author’s gin-soaked days as a Hollywood reject, and his attachment to columnist Sheilah Graham.

Along similar lines, the newly released In Love a n d War examines the real-life love affair between the 19-year-old Ernest Hemingway (Chris O ’Donnell) and an older nurse (Sandra Bullock) that inspired A Farewell to Arms. Based on a book and screenplay by Henry S. Villard — a fellow patient in the Milan hospital where Hemingway recovered from his famous war wound — the per­ spective fostered by In Love a n d War is that Agnes von Kurowsky’s jilting of Hemingway was the seminal event of the young writer’s life.

The rebuttal allegedly hardened him forever to women and rela­ tionships, and psychologically set the stage for Hemingway’s subsequent habit of deserting his wives before they could desert him.

Kurowsky served not only as the model for Catherine Barkley in A Farewell to Arms, but as the wife of the dying writer Harry (like Hemingway, he had a gangrenous leg

The Last Drive-in

wound) in The Snows o f . _ Kilim anjaro. Harry bitterly complains, “Love is a dung hill, and I’m the cock that gets on it to crow.”

Interestingly, director Richard Attenborough previ­ ously directed a film about nov­ elist/theologian C.S. Lewis (fea­ turing Anthony Hopkins in one of his finest performances) that is in many ways the mirrorimage of the story told in In Love a n d War. Based on a play of the same title, Shadowlands (1993) is a deeply touching story of the unlikely love affair between the stuffy, repressed writer of O u t o f the Silent P lanet and The N a rn ia Chronicles and brash New York divorcee Joy Gresham (Debra Winger).

Inspirational and destructive relationships are also the focus of director Agnieszka Holland’s recently released Total Eclipse, the story of the extraordinarily tempestuous and decidedly car­

nal relationship between poet Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis) and the young Rimbaud (Leonardo Di Caprio), who first seeks out Verlaine — a

poet of some standing as the story begins — and then pro­ ceeds to turn his life inside out.

Holland’s stance toward the sor­ didness that transpires is res­ olutely nonjudgmental.

By contrast, playwrights Michael Hastings and Adrian Hodges take a definite moral stance with regard to the actions of poet T.S. Eliot in Tom a n d Viv. Viv is Eliot’s wife, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, the woman whose family standing and wealth helped the newcom­ er gain entry to British society.

Eliot subsequently abandons her when her personal eccen­ tricities and health problems become too much for him to bear. Oddly overlooked at the time of its original release, Tom a n d Viv contemplates the horri­ fying specter of genius without integrity, in a film enhanced by an extraordinary performance from Miranda Richardson as Vivienne.

There are a number of other worthwhile films about authors, including The Basketball D iaries (Jim Carroll’s fictionalized auto­ biography) and Prick Up Your Ears (starring Gary Oldman as the homosexual playwright Joe Orton). My personal favorite remains Philip Kaufman’s 1990 H enry & June, a film that blends literary history, eroticism and humor in a singularly entertaining mix. Based on Anai's Nin’s own account, Henry & June recounts one of the more notable intersections in modern literary history: the meeting of Nin, the American expatriate Henry Miller and his siren-like wife in 1931. It was the year Miller completed Tropic o f Capricorn and Nin found her footing as a diarist.

For anyone who ever enter­ tained fantasies about a life of writing, Kaufman’s evocation of the exotic lives of Left Bank literati during the early ’30s is positively irresistible. (Z) Videos courtesy o f Waterfront Video.

THE HOYIS CINEMAS

FILM QUIZ

*■ + LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION! The B ig C h ill meets The Birdcage (well, sort of) in the big-screen adapta­ tion o f Terrence McNafiys hit Broadway play, a variously funny and moving look at the complex relationships within a group o f gay men who spend a series o f summer holidays in a majestic country home.

Jason Alexander has received deservedly high marks for his houyant rendering o f the story’s comic centerpiece, a wise-ass cherub with musical theater — and HIV — in his blood.

DON WE NOW OUR GAY APPAREL Alexander a n d company John Glove gives a great double perfor­ m ix punchlines w ith hemlines in the f ilm adaptation mance as an icy Englishman and the o f Terrence M cN ally s h it play, dying twin brother whose warmth and courage win everyone’s heart.

The gathering weathers all manner o f social calamity, from petty bickering and jealousies to romantic betrayal, and somehow emerges at summer’s end with even better friends, in some cases better people.

Director Joe Martello deftly keeps a daunting number o f narrative plates spinning all at once while shifting gracefully between moods o f exub&^nt humor and somber contemplation. McNally’s script is highly literate, immensely intelligent and vastly human. And the cast — which also includes Stephen Spinella, Justin Kirk and Randy Becker — is the definition o f ensemble brilliance.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll say to yourself: Gee, A lexander really rem inds m e o f N ath an Lane here.

Interestingly enough, Lane was originally slated for the role (he played the part on Broadway), but backed out at the last minute. M y guess is, Alexander has kept the original spirit o f the part alive while also bringing it an edge and gravity beyond that o f his predecessor. If his performance in The Birdcage is any indication, Lane is simply too sweet and bubbly a presence.

Not, as George Castanza would say, that there’s anything wrong with that. * On another note; Keep an eye out for Jay Craven’s new movie. A Stranger in the K ingdom recently embarked on a statewide, 32-event Sneak Preview Summer Tour — a fundraiser — around Vermont after playing to a series o f packed and appreciative houses in South Burlington last week. T he latest collaboration between the director and Vermont author Howard Frank Mosher is their most impres­ sive yet. But stria Sundance Film Festival guidelines forbid reviews o f entries prior to competition, so you didn’t hear it from me.

be eating to stay healthy?

You’re choosing bagels over donuts, pretzels instead of chips, and platefuls of pasta instead of pork for din­ ner, and despite all the fat-free food cartons in your cabinet, you still cant seem to shed those extra pounds. While less fat and more complex carbohy­ drates are key to healthy diets, local nutritionists say too many Americans are getting carried away with the carbohydrate craze and fat-free fad.

According to Debi L’Herault Norton, adult nurse practitioner and nutritionist with the O’Brien Health Center in Winooski, complex carbohydrates have been linked to better health, but many people load up on less nutritious simple carbohydrates, which leads to weight gain.

“The ingestion of complex carbohydrates... decreases risk for breast cancer, heart attack and dia­ betes,” says Norton. “But you have to be very careful in balancing carbohydrates, because they are sugars — your body breaks it down and basically stores it as fat if you don’t use it.”

Instead of processed foods such as white bread and rice, Norton recommends whole grain and high-fiber carbohydrates. ^ ^ w While som'e people substitute carbohydrates for fat cravings, others stock up on Snackwells. But Siobhan Donegan, a registered dietician with the Burlington Health Department, says the fat-free frenzy has been detrimental to those who overindulge or compensate with carbohydrates and thereby consume more calories.

“There are so many low-fat options, sve think as long as they are low-fat and non-frit, we can eat as many as we want,” Donegan says. “I think it’s impor­ tant to cat low-fat, but avoiding fats is not a license to eat all the carbohydrates you want.”

Instead of fad filler foods, Donegan recommends snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables. Both Donegan and Norton say fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources are often ignored, but a well-balanced meal is essential to optimal health.

Even if they know what types of foods they should eat, Norton concedes, many people still dorft eat well.

They get themselves in situations “where they have to eat something that is not good for them.” For those with hectic schedules, Norton recommends preparing quick meals at the start o f each week, and learning where healthy lunches can be found near your workplace.

As you embark on new eating habits, don’t stop with a few new meals; be sure to vary the types of pro­ tein and complex carbohydrates you consume.

“Every food gives a different percentage or ratio of what you need in a days eating,” Norton says, “so you really need to be focused on trying to get as many types of foods as you can.” <2 > HELP US HELP YOU: Are you looking for new ways to address old ailments?

J u ly 3 -July 9 A R I E S (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Don’t feel guilty if you decide against carrying out this weeks assignment. The kind o f heroic introspection I have in mind is a luxury that may only be available to a select few childless, unemployed dreamers. Besides, you’ll have a deep, dark, sweet week whether or not you take my advice. But here goes anyway: I propose that you relive your birth experience in graphic, gorgeous detail.

Interview your mother at length, if possible, and any other witnesses.

Consider trying to recover your memories o f the event through hypnosis. Then you’ll be primed to get a feel for how your earliest experiences on Earth have conditioned everything that’s happened since — including the rebirth that’s dead ahead.

T A U R U S (Apr. 20-May 20): All the following activities have been approved for your use in the next two weeks: practicing mental gymnastics; bending over backwards to explain yourself with crisp clarity; executing tiny (not humongous) leaps o f faith; turning the tables on those who are unrighteous and unjust; perfecting the art o f rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time; negotiating a truce in the war o f your left hand against the right; and disproving certain folks’ belief that the shortest distance between two points is a convoluted spiral.

G E M I N I (May 21-June 20): When I was dating the exotic dancer who worked at me Lusty Lady dub, little did I know she’d one day have a gig as editor at the very publishing house where I most wanted to put out my ., ^ novel. If only I had ended out. j Rpionship less unceremoniously, f •" i

m huckster, I must insist that in the next few weeks your beliefs really will create your reality.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s truly an epic moment to be a Virgo. When shamanic scientists perfect time travel in the next century, I’m sure that July 1997 will be a time you’ll want to return to and live through over and over again. As hard as it might be to believe, though, there are still a few improvements you could make. Instead o f settling for mere popularity, for instance, why not use your high approval rating to triple your clout?

And rather than forging just one new connection that’ll serve your ambitions for many moons, how about aiming for two? And as opposed to waiting for them to come to you, wouldn’t it be shockingly stylish for you to go to therrh

they can. Your tribe — which even in slow times is among the least boring o f signs — is now a raging inferno o f intrigue and allure.

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21): Your astrological aspects are curiously mixed. On the one hand, it’s an excellent moment to declare your independence from anyone and anything that oppresses you, depresses you or discourages you from singing in the shower. On the other hand, it’s prime time to declare your interdependence with anyone or anything that fires you up, gets your juices flowing or encourages you to fantasize about sailing a hot-air balloon over the south o f France. Think you can figure out which is which? It shouldn’t be too hard.

C A P R I C O R N (Dec 22-Jan. 19):

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My favorite word in the Iroquois language is ondinnonk. It refers to the secret wish of your soul as revealed in your dreams.

I bring this up, Libra, because I think I’ve deduced the ondinnonk of your big dream this week: your need to be wilder and feistier and less predictable; not to the point of hurting anyone, o f course, but simply to confound and derail those wno would interfere with your plans to do the right thing.

LIBRA

S C O R P I O (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to the folks at the Boring Institute in Maplewood, New Jersey,

L E O (July 23-Aug. 22); Psychologists say that depressed people fill their minds with three recurring curses: 1) “The world is a negative place.” 2) “I’m worthless.” 3) “There's no hope for change.” All o f these are of course dirty lies. Yet if a dispirited soul holds them to be true with passionate certainty, they do indeed attract experiences which tend to confirm their validity.

Vermont’s OMEGA Point!

C A N C E R (June 21-July 22): I was trying to compose your horoscope in my head today as I drove home. “Send me an omen,” I asked the cosmos.

“What should I tell my fellow Cancerians?” Moments later, I arrived at the toll booth on the Richmond Bridge.

To my surprise, die clerk waved me through. She said the car ahead o f me had paid my fare. I spied a black Chevy Lumina racing away, and followed it in hopes o f glimpsing the face o f my unknown benefactor. But the driver seemed intent on remaining anonymous, speeding off at 90 mph. I strained to keep up, but my old Ford Festiva overheated, and I had to pull off to the shoulder to recover. Here’s my interpretation o f the cosmic sign: You’ll soon receive a blessing from an unexpected source, but may be better off not knowing all the details o f how it came to you.

Build your self-confidence, reduce your anxiety.

N e u r o IM u sc u la r T h e r a p y

my mistake. Before you torch the bridge it would be so satisfying to burn down, be absolutely sure you’re never going to want to cross it again.

YOGA THERAPY. Tap into self-knowledge and body wis­ dom, leading to healing and transformation. Martha Whitney, 860-2814.

There’s an old “Twilight Zone” episode in which a nasty bigot suffers fate’s ultimate revenge. Is it a dream? He wakes up one morning to find he’s a Jew hunted by the SS in Nazi Germany.

In counterpoint to this version of karmic comeuppance, the fairy tale tradition is full of characters who experience the opposite kind o f reversal.

For instance, a peasant girl who goes Out o f her way to be kind to a scr^ggly old crone is rewarded with the key to a great treasure. It should be noted, Capricorn, that fate’s mysterious balancing action is rarely as extreme or literal as either o f those two examples.

zodiac? What sign best understands the value o f indulging in siestas, and is most talented at dropping off into a brief but refreshing sleep at a moment’s notice?

According to my research, Tauruses are the hands-down champions. But that could change in the next couple weeks.

At least let’s hope it’ll change. It’s high time for you Aquarians to challenge the Bulls for the top spot. Never before has it been more important for you to master the skill o f stealing 40 winks.

(While you’re at it, brush up on the art o f maintaining your cool while everyone around you is degenerating into drooling lunatics.)

P I S C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You’ve probably guessed by now that you’ve slipped into the Season o f Sizzling (and Slightly Silly) Sensuality. Shall we incite your passions to an even more molten stage? HELL, YES! Below I’ve reproduced two untided love poems from Love’s Fire: Re-creations o f Rumi by Andrew Harvey. Read them aloud to your darling, then translate them into the language o f physical touch. (1) “The tender words we said to one another/Are stored in the secret heart o f heaven;/One day like rain they will fall and spread,/And our mystery will grow green over the world.” (2) “H ow open N: we were that day, tender and delicious,/No longer bodies at a soul./I’m afraid and alone sign;/Make us again as you m: then.”
