ASK NATIVE VERMONTERS The subject I’m writing about is the “civil union” bill that was just passed. We need to start ques tioning the decisions that our gov ernors and town representatives are making. Let’s examine the wording of “civil union.” Civil meaning common laws of the state. A union, in this case, means joining of two people, a man and a woman. This all comes down to one thing, our state government has defiled the sacredness of mar riage by allowing the same gender to have a civil ceremony. The bill is morally wrong based on what the Holly (sic) Bible says. In the book of Gensis (sic) it says that God cre ated man in his own image. Man was created then God saw that man needed a helper so God made a woman. This clearly states [a] union of two different genders... An Englishman by the name of John Locke came up with an idea of responsible government; he called it a social contract. This contract was for the common good of communities and their govern ment, not special interest groups like homosexuals. W hen Governor Dean and our representatives passed the bill without asking native-born Vermonters.. .they broke a social contract with Vermonters who were born and

raised on Christian values. ...Vermonters who have good moral value should do the right thing and vote out those govern ment laws that are made in Montpelier that have an immoral decision against native-born Vermonters. Put back the good moral Republicans in our govern ment for a moral compass. Ruth Dwyer and many others want to restore order against the radical homosexual agenda. — Travis L. St. Cyr Essex Junction M EN ’S SICKNESS ISSUE? H m m m ...let’s see. One story about men who beat women. One about a man seeking answers to his insane father’s past. One about male on-line sex addicts. The lighter side? A man who fears the “duty of the chainsaw.” That about wraps it up (except for the sexy summer advertising!). Maybe Seven Days [The Men’s Issue, June 14] should have been called The Men’s Sickness Issue. — M att Martin Monkton COVER BOY?

sketches of local men that graced the cover of your annual “Men’s Issue.” (It’s the second from the left, on the second row from the top — the one with the long black hair held down by a headband and sporting a moustache and eyeglass es). Being a “Black Indian” — I’m half-Creole and half-Cherokee — I know that I’m one of the most eas ily recognizable people in Vermont. And I’m almost always wearing an Indian headband to hold down the top of my long black mane. So I must say, I’m very flattered by the drawing. As often as I frequent the Church Street Marketplace, I know that on any given summer day, there are artists either drawing sketches or painting. I can only assume that the artist who cap tured my image on ink and paper did so from a distance. But, alas, the artist didn’t sign the work. Who drew the sketches? I’d love to obtain a larger, signed copy of the sketch of myself. Not to mention a chance to meet and thank the artist. — Skeeter Sanders Essex

CLASSISM IN PUBLIC SPACES Regarding pocket parks [“Pocket Protectors,” June 7]: Why is it the South End gets sculpture and seating, while the Old North End always gets uninviting, indus trial-style structures (see Little Park at Archibald and North Winooski)? I suppose there’s the argument that it will get destroyed in that neighborhood, but how could any sane human respect, let alone seek out and enjoy, that type of environment? If the city creates spaces that draw people to them, it builds a community where citizens take pride in and care for the envi ronment. When I compare the green belts and parks of the various parts of town, I begin to feel there is a subtle form of classism direct ed against the Old North End. — Luanne Sberna Burlington

Dear Sen. Backus, Pay Your Taxes! As we all know, everybody makes mistakes. So much to do. So little time to do it all. We all know the feeling of missing a payment for our car, mort gage or cable television. Don’t you just hate late fees? Hey, were only human, right? Most people don’t have to worry about their personal financial foibles becoming news. But for public figures who live in the fish bowl of politics, there’s another standard. And if there’s one thing you’d expect a politician run ning for statewide office to do, it’s to be damn sure they pay their taxes on time. Think again. Seven Days has learned that Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jan Backus is a tax delinquent! According to records at Winooski City Hall, Ms. Backus has missed four consecutive quar terly property-tax payments on her primary residence. Her property-tax bill became “delinquent” on May 15. Backus, a popular Chittenden County state senator, and her hus band, Stephen Blodgett, an attor ney, owe the Onion City $1975.60 in property taxes for the latest fiscal year. Their modest home at 168 North Street has an assessed value of $93,700. The matter has been referred to Winooski’s delinquent tax collector, Ray Clavelle, for fur ther action. According to the Winooski city clerk’s office, Backus and her husband are also liable for •-S1P E T E late fees and penalties. Contacted by Seven Days Sunday, Sep. Backus was at first unaware she was delinquent, Jan of Arc said her failure to pay her property taxes was related to “a busy workload.” It was,.she explained, “an honest oversight.” After a quick check of her computerized financial records, Backus said she had made an $800 payment to the city on June 7. “I had a dim recollection I had to pay some taxes,” she said, “and that’s why I wrote the check.” Sen. Backus told Seven Days her records indicated that the check had cleared her account, though a record of her payment was not on file at the city clerk’s office as of Friday afternoon. During the Seven Days’interview, Jan of Arc located an unopened letter from Mr. Clavelle, the delinquent-tax collector, postmarked June 28. She said her husband, Steve, was not responsible for the oversight because, she said, paying the household bills is her responsibility. Sen. Backus politely thanked us for bringing the matter to her attention. Hey — we’re only here to help. “I am glad to know I am delinquent,” Sen. Backus told Seven Days. “I will clear it up. I’m happy to pay my taxes.” Indeed, true to her word, Backus contacted us the following morning to inform us that she had person ally gone down to Winooski City Hall but found the clerk’s office closed Monday due to the Fourth of July holiday. Ms. Backus was first elected to the Vermont Senate in 1988 by the voters of Windham County. In the senate, she met Stephen Blodgett, a one-term Chittenden County state senator. The pair fell in love and later married. Backus moved into Blodgett’s Winooski residence. In 1994, she ran for the U.S. Senate, defeating a well-heeled opponent in the Democratic Primary, but losing to Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords in the fall election. Backus received 41 percent of the vote. Jeffords won with 50 percent. In 1 996 Jan of Arc was elected to the Vermont Senate by the voters of Chittenden County. She was reelected in 1998. As for the impact of Sen. Backus’ little “oversight” upon her U.S. Senate campaign, one might think both her Democrat opponent, Ed Flanagan, and her Republican opponent, Jim Jeffords, would behave like perfect gentlemen and let the matter of Backus’ tax delinquency slide. One might think elephants will learn to ride bicy cles, too.

hockey puck Joseph Flamia, five of the seven hockey team members sued by LaTulippe have agreed to cough up a “very small” amount of money to end the suit. The five are Flamia, Ryan Cox, Graham Mink, Donald Richardson and Andreas Moborg. Mr. Boylan called the agreement reached last week “a nuisance settlement.” In the case of three of the defendants, he said, the settlement payments are covered under the homeowners’ insurance policies of the pucksters’ parents. Attorney Boylan said he could not disclose the exact amount of the settlement because “the plaintiff insists on confidentiality.” However, there has been no settlement reached with two other former UVM players, Kevin Karlander, the team captain, and Matt Sanders, who has since turned pro. Nor is there any hint of a settlement with the other defen dants: the University of Vermont, President Judith Ramaley, Coach Mike Gilligan and Athletic Director Richard

Farnham.

LaTulippe filed suit in U.S. District Court on December 10, alleging he’d been the victim of cruel and persistent hazing by teammates on the UVM men’s ice hockey team. LaTulippe, a freshman from Williston, was one of four goalies competing for three spots on the puck squad. He was cut from the team in October and quickly dropped out of school to play junior hockey in Rochester, New York. The allegations in the lawsuit prompted an investigation by R FR EYN E Attorney General Bill Sorrell and brought unwanted national media attention to the university. The lawsuit includ ed the rather spicy details of an October initiation party for freshmen team members held at Karlander’s Colchester Avenue residence. Eyebrows were raised over descriptions of rookies being forced to perform push-ups in the nude while dipping their wee-wees into glasses of beer. They were also required to per form a so-called “elephant walk,” in which they formed a chain by holding one another’s penises. Alcoholic beverages were consumed in bulk and there was much vomiting. Not a pretty picture of life at Groovy UV. In January, President Ramaley canceled the remainder of the men’s ice hockey season after learn ing players had lied to university investigators. The university has admitted the “Big Night” party did occur, despite the fact such conduct is pro hibited by both university and athletic department rules. However, LaTulippe admitted under oath in a May deposition that a number of his other allega tions were untrue. In addition to agreeing not to reveal the amount of the settlement, Mr. Boylan told Seven Days the five hockey pucks also signed a “covenant,” promis ing not to counter-sue LaTulippe. Asked if the out-of-court settlement is an admis sion of wrongdoing by the five defendants, Boylan replied, “Absolutely not.” He said it is “simply a way to close this chapter.” The settlement, he said, “is really more of a reflection on the part of Corey LaTulippe that he should not have sued these kids in the first place.” All of the parties “have been hurt,” said Boylan. “The only people who have benefited, he said, “are the lawyers.”

LaTulippe Lawsuit Update — Seven Days has learned that five of the defendants in the UVM Hockey Hazing lawsuit brought by infamous UVM dropout Corey LaTulippe have reached an out-ofcourt settlement agreement with the plaintiff. According to John Boylan,. attorney for UVM

Speaking of Lawyers — The Burlington Free Press, as you may recall, filed suit last fall against UVM in Washington Superior Court to have internal UVM documents on the hazing matter released. The uni versity claimed they were bound by federal law requiring the school protect the privacy of its stu dents. Last December 15, a week after the hazing story erupted with LaTulippe’s lawsuit, Judge Alden Bryan ordered UVM to release some documents which, in the scheme of things, were of little significance. For their legal efforts, the Freeps won a Gannett Freedom of Information Award. But Scaldin’ Alden denied the request of Freeps attorney Phil White to have UVM pay the newspaper’s legal fees. The Freeps owes Wilson & White $7969.92. According to court records, those phone conversations Mr. White was having with Executive Editor Mickey Hirten and reporter Adam Lisberg were being billed at $175 an

Point of View The British Library agreed to remove a sculpture from its employee cafeteria after 60 women librarians and curators objected, according to the journal American Libraries. The work by Indian-born sculptor Dhruva

n EW s Mistry depicts the annunciation in which the founder of Buddhism was created. A library spokesperson told the London Guardian that the women object ed “because they had to sit and eat with this rather revealing sculpture of Buddha’s mother, with her large breasts, above them .” The London Telegraph quoted another library worker as saying, “You have to look at this thing every day o f the week or forego your lunch. The breasts are huge, in your face, distorted, disturbing and slightly tacky.” A senior male employee indicated no complaints came from men.

“If there were any,” he said, “I think they’d only say it’s too high up on the wall to touch.”

Second-Amendment Follies Clarence Day, 68, the chief bodyguard of Housing Secretary Andrew M. Cuomo, left his loaded .38-caliber revolver in the cafeteria of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Several HUD employees told the Washington Times that Day forgot his gun, which he carries in a small hand bag, at least two other times in the previous year. In the most

Marathon Event More than 100,000 condoms have been ordered for competi tors at this year’s Sydney Olympics, double the number originally expected to suffice. The spokesperson for the official Olympic supplier, Ansell, said the manufacturer boosted the order after checking the figures on pre vious Olympics. The condoms, available in a range of colors, including gold, silver and bronze, will be dispensed from large bins around the athletes’ village at Homebush Bay during the Games, which run from September 15 to October 1. Organizers had originally planned to include free condoms in each of the athletes’ “welcome to Sydney” packs but later changed their minds.

Hot Links

German Minister for Women and Families Christine Bergmann hastily altered her Web site after a newspaper revealed it offered links to pornography and male prostitutes. The link had been to sites of interest to women, including churches and recipes, but it also included erotic art and gigolo services, prompting the BY ROLAND SWEET Bild newspaper to declare: “Families recent incident, the agency Minister Offers Callboys!” employees said, Day tried to retaliate against security officials Tax Dollars at Work who reported his absent-minded The Internal Revenue Service ness. mistakenly sent refunds to a • Nine Las Vegas-area residents Baltimore address used by a tax filed a lawsuit this spring against preparer for years after he moved the Rancho Santa Fe movie the from a first-floor apartment, ater, claiming they were injured according to investigators, who during a fake gunfight promoting said remaining residents of the the opening of last summer’s four-apartment row house cashed movie Wild, Wild West.

Purge the Urge To keep the sexes from min gling in Malaysia’s Kelantan state, the governing Islamic party began requiring supermarkets to have separate checkout counters for men and women. Also, movie theaters were ordered to keep lights on during screenings to prevent couples from kissing. • Quebec prisons ended a $38,000 health-warning cam paign using educational cards to

warn inmates of the dangers of unprotected sex and sharing drugs because Public Security and Health Department officials judged the cards too explicit. The cards depict cartoon-style charac ters engaged in sexual activities, doing drugs or tattooing their bodies. One card shows two naked women and a vibrator with the caption: “We can do lots of things without risk.. .except sharing the vibrator.”

Degrees of Depravity Congress banned the produc tion and sale of “crush videos,” which show the torture and killing of small animals for sexual gratification, after their wide spread distribution via the Internet came to light in California. American-made ani mal snuff films typically show scantily dressed or nude women wearing high heels stomping rats, mice, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, snakes or insects, or burning them with cigarettes. Jeff Vilencia, who said negative pub licity forced his Squish Production to stop selling insect crushing videos through adult magazines, told USA Today nobody should profit from the killing of “hamsters or any domestic pet” but noted “mice and rats might be a gray area,” adding, “We have a love-hate relationship with mice and rats.” ®

I ® sense an energy, some commo| tion over my left shoulder. Passing the Flynn Theatre head. ing west is a small congregation I of people. I observe they are all men, grouped in a diam ond formation, like the smallest unit , of a Roman legion advancing into battle. The greatest number — perhaps five or six abreast — stride shoulder-to-shoulder in I the center o f this configuration; I the rest tapers off towards the front and rear. This is one ani mated group, I 8 think, as I watch them gesturing, laughing, almost I dancing down Main I Street. T hen I notice a statuesque woman at the center o f the s swarm — the queen bee, as it were. She towers above her minions; how could I have missed her? Holy smokes — it * hits me in a flash — it’s Cherie Tartt! Up until that 1 moment, Id only seen Cherie on that cable TV show she | does with her cohort, ;s Yolanda. Men who ® impersonate women have never intrigued me, yet I always quit surfing when Cherie and Yolanda show up on the screen. In these days o f ubiquitous irony — it’s practically the sub text of an entire generation — „ Cherie and Yolanda take it to another level. T he two o f them | are so effortlessly sardonic, so gleefully wry, that the irony . does a turnaround: Rather than coming across as cynical or * mean-spirited, the two o f them I strike me as exuberantly cheer ful. Plus, they are hilarious i together, and the entire show, as far as I can tell, is totally impro vised before the camera. If you’ve ever watched the I show, you know that, between 1 the two stars, Cherie is the “dem ure” one, sweetly reining in the spilling-out-of-the-seams Yolanda. Her role is something of the straight man, although "* she is far from that. The shtick | is a sight to behold — right up

there with George & Gracie or Regis & Kathy Lee. But sans Yolanda, Cherie in the flesh extinguishes any notion of the shrinking violet. Sashaying across Main Street before my eyes, Cherie appears 6 ’3 ” if she’s an inch; with the boost of her high heels, the overall effect is Junoesque. As she crosses directly in front of the cab, her ultra-bouffant hair do appears beyond pink, like some celestial cotton candy. Her black dress is a sleeveless num ber with spaghetti straps, and, I kid you not, her legs are not half-bad. I would venture that even in

sulfurous view of the world, do they see gays, and, in particular, female impersonators, as traitors to their gender? As if a man, by virtue of simply donning a dress, has “gone over to the other side” in some perceived gender war? An analogy is racists who reserved their greatest ire for white people who had in some way become close to the black community. An audible sigh escapes from deep within my chest. Theorize, analyze, speculate; no matter how you cut it, it’s depressing to ponder hate. Entering City Hall Park, the entourage is in high gear, flut tering about their leading lady like honey bees around a rose bush. ' Cherie is calm and self-pos sessed as she whispers to one or another of the lucky ones, gig gles, and then throws her head back in delight ed laughter. All of this I’m taking in from my taxicab box seat on the corner. Suddenly, the grande dame turns her face ever so slightly to the right, and I swear she’s looking right at me! Her wafer lips, magenta red, register the faintest indication of pleasure. Her almond eyes, dark and watery like Burlington bay on a m oonlit night, gaze out at me with a sublime mis chievousness. She blinks once, and her luxuriant eyelashes shimmer with what looks like sugar frosting. For one evanes cent moment, I feel like I’m in com m union with the M ona Lisa’s flamboyant sister. The m om ent passes — could it have been my fertile imagination, my wishful think ing? — and she’s gliding towards Church Street, a onewoman, traveling show. Till next time, then, my Cherie. T hanks for being out there and lighting up this town. ®

For one evanescent

moment, I feel like I’m in communion

.with the Mona Lisa ’s flamboyant sister.

New York City or Boston, where there are many such...how to put this...extrav agantly expressive people, Cherie would stand out and cause a stir. But here in little old Burlington, our very own Queen City, she’s a living land mark. W ithin earshot o f my cab, I hear a passerby loudly mutter, “Goddam faggots! W hat the hell is this town coming to?” I can’t tell if the Cherie pack heard this insult, too, but if so, I can’t imagine it’s an unaccus tomed event. Even in relatively open-m inded Vermont, a man can’t publicly dress like a woman w ithout provoking a certain am ount of negativity. W hat button is being pushed, I wonder? Its got to be something visceral to incite such hate, even violence on occasion. Maybe gay bashers are expressing, in skewed fashion, a hatred o f women. W ithin their

JOYCE JOHNSON DRUMS UP NEW INTEREST IN KEROUAC WITH A FRESH VOLUME OF “ DEAR JA C K " LETTERS

B y P a u l a R o u t ly ne critic sourced his w rit ings to “a slob running a tem perature.” A nother sug gested his spontaneous prose was nothing more than “typew riting.” But detractors never managed to kill literary interest in Jack Kerouac, who ranks right up there — almost — w ith American icons James Dean and Elvis. T he “King o f the Beats” is just as relevant today as he was when he wrote about bum m ing across the country under the influence o f bad boys and Benzedrine. Forty-three years after its rev olutionary publication, On the Road still speaks to the young and the restless — to the tune o f 125,000 copies a year. You could say Joyce Johnson, nee Glassman, came along for the ride. But in fact she did very little traveling during her 22-m onth relationship w ith Kerouac. It was extraordinary enough in 1957 that she lived alone in New York City, held a job in publishing and, at the ripe old age o f 21 , shacked up w ith a homeless writer based on a single blind date arranged by poet Allen Ginsberg. W hile Kerouac h u r tled from M orocco to San Francisco to Mexico to Florida in a state o f artistic agi tation, Johnsons “beat” was M anhattan. W henever they were apart — which was most o f the tim e — the couple exchanged letters, by turns funny, sweet, philosophi cal, eloquent, intim ate and crazed. Johnson, now a part-tim e Vermonter, made regular reference to those missives in her 1983 book M inor Characters. The excellent coming-of-age m em oir is about the women w ho loved, waited on and, in some cases, died for the brainy boy gang that included Kerouac, Ginsberg, W illiam Burroughs, Lucien Carr and Neal Cassady. But she wasn’t able to quote directly from them. T he Kerouac estate forbade it. Referencing U.S. copyright law, Kerouac’s widow, Stella, “said W to everyone,” Johnson recalls. Ironically, the absence o f prim ary source material made M inor Characters a stronger book. Its rare, uniquely female point o f view makes it required reading for Beat buffs.

Johnson has since written plenty of articles, introductions and essays about her famous boyfriend, who in Desolation Angels described her as “a Jewess, elegant middle-class sad and looking for some thing — she looked Polish as hell.” But she had no intention o f writing another book about him. T hat is, until the letters she wrote to him materialized — missing missives that Stella had never mentioned. It turns out that Kerouac was not so spon taneous about archiving as he was about writing, travel and digging girls. He kept files o f letters from his friends, as well as pre-Xerox-era copies of many of the ones he sent to other people. W hen Stella Kerouac died in the early ’90s, control of her husbands literary lega cy went to her younger brother. Two years ago, John Sampas called to inform Johnson her letters to Kerouac had been found. At the same time, Johnson recalls, “He said, ‘Your letters are very interesting. Maybe if you put them together with Jacks, you’d have a book.” For that advice, and access to his brother-in-law’s letters, the Kerouac estate will get a significant percentage of the roy alties from Johnson’s latest work. Door Wide Open, A Beat Love Affair in Letters, 1957-1958, is a reconstruction of the epis tolary exchange between literary lovers. Unlike so many collections o f corre spondence, which are tedious and dry, Door Wide Open captures all the danger ous exuberance o f the bicoastal Beat movement. The letters are revelatory not just as cultural references — Johnson m ight write about hearing John Coltrane, for example, or stopping down at the Cedar Tavern to see Franz Kline or W illem de Kooning — but as evidence of a rare dynamic between two emerging writers. Smart, sane and practical, the young Johnson writes like a bohemian-intraining,; m ixing practical information and musings in letters clearly designed not to scare off her pen pal. His wild, run-on replies, from all over the world, offer inti mate insights into the troubled, egocentric m ind o f a self-destructing American artist. Linking the letters, which are arranged

chronologically, Johnson provides narra tive that tells it like it was. The San Francisco censorship of Ginsberg’s epic poem “Howl.” The crush o f celebrity that followed publication of On the Road. The Oedipal draw of Kerouac’s smothering mother. Told from a distance of four decades — with the benefit of wisdom, hindsight and a lot more information about her bygone boyfriend — Johnson’s is an honest account, with no bitterness or self-pity. Twice she packed her bags to join Kerouac elsewhere, only to get word at the last minute that he had decided to move on. But Johnson writes generously, “I still regret that I couldn’t move faster than Jack Kerouac could change his m ind.” At the time, that was a tall order. And v. Johnson has been through a lot since she cooked eggs sunny-side-up for a hung-over honey who was recently featured in Gap commercials: two painter husbands, one o f whom died in a motorcycle accident; the birth of a son, now a 34-year-old writer in Greenwich Village; eight years as executive editor at Dial Press; three novels and a controversial book about a high-profile child-abuse case, for which she was pitted against Gloria Steinem on “Larry King Live.” But Johnson’s Kerouac connection refuses to die — and there is some poetic justice in that. Next up is a dramatic ver sion o f Door Wide Open, which will be staged in New York this fall by the theater company run by actor Rip Torn. Fifteen years ago, Johnson, now 64, bought a shack in the central Vermont woods, just the kind o f refuge Kerouac fantasized about in his wanderings. The purchase necessitated a big step: As a m id dle-aged adult, the native New Yorker had to learn to drive. C om m uting between Cabot and M anhattan has put plenty of miles on her car. But she is on the road, at last. Johnson talked about her new book from New York, two days before her next scheduled trip to V erm ont... this time, in the driver’s seat.

Seven Days: If you had access to a ll the letters at the tim e, is this the book you would have w ritten in 1983?

Joyce Johnson: I certainly would have used some of this material, and it would have refreshed my memory on certain points. T. But M inor Characters takes a much broad er view. It’s really a memoir of my growing up as well as my time with the Beat gener ation. This book specifically focuses on my love affair with Jack. SD: W hat’s here that wasn’t in

Minor

Characters? JJ: A lot of detail, small detail, and texture about the relationship. The sense of the back and forth between us. So much o f the relationship was actually in these letters, because Jack would come and go. He’d be in New York for a couple of weeks and then we’d be writing to each other. And I think they are very revealing as far as Kerouac is concerned, to see him in the middle of a relationship with a woman — how he goes forward and pulls back. His geographical confusion, his inability to hold to any plan, the bad shape he was in before the publication of On the Road. His doubts, feeling like at times he couldn’t write. H e’d be in his “Starry N ight Ecstasies,” as he called them, and then crash again. It was a real pattern for him. All the changes o f mind about where he wanted to be had nothing to do with me. It was about his inability to be comfortable anywhere on Earth, at that time. He was in no shape to handle the celebrity that would come to him. A lot o f the attention was hostile and humiliating. It ruined him. It came between him and his writing.

SD: An epistolary memoir? That sure sounds lik e a hard s e ll... JJ: In most books o f letters you get the story from one side. I edited a book of let ters between Simone de Beauvoir and Nelson Algren, but there were hardly any letters from him . You couldn’t see what she was reacting to. I had to read a biogra phy to figure out w hat was going on. I think it’s much better to do the back and forth. It comes to life.

SD: You had a lot more to go on here. JJ: I think I have a better understanding o f Kerouac than I did when I wrote M inor Characters, because there has been so much new material com ing out about him. I have read his Selected Letters very, very carefully. I know things now I didn’t know when I wrote M inor Characters.

SD: That must be w eird. JJ: It’s a strange position to be in — not only knowing all about Jack’s relationship

would have done it. But it certainly wouldn’t have lasted very long. It would have been an impossible marriage.

SD: What was it like seeing your letters after a ll this time?

JJ: Here I was, face-to-face with this real 21 -year-old, not just someone I remem bered, but the person who had written those words. I realized how much bravado was in those letters: the determination to be cool, not to lean on Jack. I remember

what a hard time it was, but also an excit ing and exhilarating time.

SD: That must have been pretty emo SD: Do you feel a sense of betrayal, 4 0 years later?

JJ: It doesn’t h u rt me now. Certain things I discovered were painful and made me very angry. But som ething happens when you write about this stuff. A nd I always knew in the back o f my m ind that it wasn t going to work out w ith Jack, that we would only be together for a while. I tried to pretend to myself that I didn’t know it. I guess if he had asked me to marry him , I

JJ: It was. I suddenly felt very close to that 21 -year-old. I felt like her mother. I want ed to say, “Be careful. This isn’t going to work o u t.” But I never regretted having the relationship with Jack. It was an extraordinary experience — a real educa tion.

SD: I was amazed by how a rticu la te you were, how grown-up, considering your age and the tim es.

the time, but it was w hat I wanted. You can’t look at those times and judge them in terms o f w hat the values are now, or even w hat the values were in 1968. It was pre rock ’n’ roll, it was pre-sexual revolution. It was a big deal in those days to leave the parental roof, have your own apartment, support yourself in a job and have a free sex life. Those were huge things.

JJ: O ne thing you have to remember about my part of the story is how little interest there was in what young women were producing at the time. Even though I sold this book to Random House at such a young age, hardly anybody was interested — with the exception o f Jack. He was always truly encouraging. He took me seriously as a writer, and that was a very im portant thing to me. T hat is definitely reflected in the letters.

JJ: He always paid me back, to the dollar.

SD: I noticed you started em ulating his style, too, toward the end.

SD: Even so, he s till sounds lik e a te rri ble boyfriend.

JJ: Over the course o f the relationship, the sound o f his voice got into my head. It definitely had an influence on my style, writing to him. It loosened me up in a way.

JJ: Aren’t there terrible boyfriends today? Do you think relationships have changed so totally? I don’t think so. You can’t legis late hum an relationships.

SD: I guess, along w ith your independ ence, you also earned the chance to lend him money.

SD: W hat do you say to people who w ant to paint you as a v ictim here?

SD: Are there any letters you didn’t use?

JJ: I say w hat I just said to you. But it sounds as if you want to paint me that way, too.

JJ: No. They’re all there.

SD: Was there anything in there that really embarrassed you? JJ: No, not really. I was 21 and the year was 1957. You couldn’t help being infect ed by all the conventional expectations women had o f relationships in those days. The thing to do was to get married. But for women like me, the thing was to get married not to a square, but to someone exciting and bohemian. T h at is what I was always attracted to. W hen I met more conventional men, I always found them oppressive. Misogyny was so widespread at that time, it was like the air you breathed. You didn’t question it. It was a question o f which kind o f misogynist you wanted to be with — someone like Jack or a square who would whisk you up to Scarsdale and put you in the kitchen.

SD: So com paratively, he was e nligh t ened. JJ: Jack never tried to rob me o f my inde pendence, which is something I fought for and wanted to hang onto. It was scary at ,i

SD: W ell, it’s c le a r from the letters that you wanted very d ifferen t things from each o th e r... JJ: Jack had that sort o f male thing, of w anting to see the whole world, not w ant ing to com m it himself, w anting to have all kinds o f sexual experiences with lots of people.

SD: Why do you th in k his words s till ring true today? JJ: We are in a period that isn’t totally unlike the ’50s, w ith this return to family values. Also, young people don’t feel they have many options. They have to go to school, learn com puters, get a good job immediately — or else. There is no space in there to move around, explore, find out w ho you are, be open to all kinds o f expe riences. Your course is very prescribed. T he message in On the Road, open yourr self and be free, is still a very powerful

Plainfield Puzzle is a cluster of Lou Gehrig’s cases cause for alarm?

B y T er r y J. A llen t was a tip from a local physician that led Melanie Lawrence, then a medical student at the University ofV erm ont, to undertake a study o f an unusual inci dence o f Lou G ehrig’s disease in Plainfield. A year and a half later, Lawrence came forth with a report showing that people in the small central Vermont com m unity have a 10 times higher risk o f getting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, than those in the rest o f the nation. m In the last 30 years, at least six o f the towns 1300 longtime residents contracted the lethal neurological illness — four in the 1990s. A seventh case is suspected but unconfirmed. All lived for more than 20

years within a five-square-mile area in beautiful hills that may hide clues to what causes the disease. Medical experts warn against alarm, since “hot spots” can occur by chance alone. But researchers are justifiably intrigued. “Any epidemiologist worth his salt is looking for clusters,” says University o f Wisconsin-based ALS expert Benjamin Brooks, noting a concentration o f cases can help isolate possible causes. For exam ple, it was only after an Australian obste trician delivered three infants with stunted or missing limbs that he realized their mothers had all taken thalidomide during pregnancy. ■ According to a survey, ALS is the diag nosis doctors most dread delivering.

While the m ind and senses remain acute, the body sheds, one by one, the abilities to walk, move, talk, eat, swallow and, finally, breathe. At that point, only 10 percent of patients choose to extend their lives with a respirator. There is no cure, effective treatm ent or even an explanation for why about 1.5 people in 100,000 are stricken in the U.S. every year. Lawrence set out to discover why

W hen Albert Griggs — another member o f the cluster — was dying, Potter often helped care for his old friend and neigh bor, little suspecting that a year later, he too would be diagnosed with ALS.

experts, Lawrence concluded there was less than a 1 in 40,000 chance that the Vermont “hot spot” is a random occurrence. No one knows how many clusters exist throughout the country. Each of the nationally known researchers interviewed for this article mentioned possible clusters that the others had not heard of. “Because the U.S. does n’t have a national reporting sys tem or registry,” laments Matthew, there is no way to check how many hot spots there are. “We miss many things of signifi cance that might prove relevant in diagnosis and prevention.” According to Patty Krusinski, study coordinator for the Vermont ALS Center, “There is another possible cluster of five people with active ALS in north ern New England with the same population, but [with] a radius a little larger geographically than Melanie’s.” Some other provocative groupings include three mem bers of the same San Francisco ’49ers football team who devel-

attended a benefit at the local high school to support him and raise money for ALS research. A few people attending the bitter sweet evening noted that there seemed to be quite a few cases in the neighborhood. Reggie and Gordie Holt, whose cousin died of ALS, drew up a list and gave it to Reggie’s wife Connie, a nurse. “O h, my gosh, that’s weird,” she said. She then told Matthew, who, after 27 years in the community, takes a deeply personal as well as profes sional interest in the patients in the six towns his clinic serves.

Although she has not yet identified a unify ing link between the Plainfield cases, except geography and age, some o f the patients did experi ence risk factors associated with ALS. These included exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, electric shocks and broken bones. After consultation with the state health departm ent and university

But there is no way to know if these and other suggestive hot spots around the country add up to a pattern. Researchers have been able to docum ent that certain occu pations seem to have a higher incidence o f ALS: airline pilots and navigators, who are exposed to strong electrom agnetic fields; athletes and others w ith a life time o f strenuous physical activ ity; m ilitary personnel; welders; and dairy farmers, who are exposed to m ultiple factors, including shocks from fences and stray electricity from equip m ent, pesticides and lead fumes Irom farm equipm ent. High exposure to agricultural chem i cals alm ost triples the risk for men, while dairy farming quadruples the risk, according to Lawrence’s research. Potter and Griggs, who lived about a mile away and died ol ALS in 1996, were dairy farm ers at various times, as was one other m em ber o f the Plainfield cluster. Potter worked on Griggs’ farm occasionally as a teenager, as well as on the farm

People's Court B y A nne Galloway aledonia is a rural, economically challenged county on the southern most edge o f the N ortheast Kingdom. Its biggest town, with a popula tion o f less than 8000, is St. Johnsbury. There are few outcroppings o f rural subur bia here, but for the most part, this is a truly bucolic part o f the state that retains a slightly down-at-the-heels, agricultural character. A hodgepodge o f trailers, 19thcentury capes, wood-frame Victorian extravaganzas, sugar shacks, deer camps and dilapidated barns dot the rolling land scape. People o f all economic and social strata are thrown together here. T he doctor lives two doors down from a family on public assistance. The owner o f the corner gas

station resides in a fancy house next to an elderly woman in a trailer. There are no “good” neighborhoods and no slums. W herever you live, farmers are sure to spread manure nearby. It’s a democratic situation in which alienating a neighbor is tantam ount to social suicide — who knows when you might need the guy next door to pull you out of a snow bank? It is this intangible sense of rural com m unity that Michael Sacca and Elizabeth Billings are trying to capture in a series of portraits, including as many people as they can muster from each of the 17 towns in Caledonia County. So far, the couple has made it about halfway through their list. W hen they’re finished, they’ll print 17 photographs o f towns, joined end-to-end with eight prints of the surrounding land scape, on a sheet o f brushed aluminum.

This photographic “peoplescape” will then be part of a permanent exhibit for the new addition to the Caledonia County Courthouse in St. J. The idea is that as people enter the courthouse, they’ll encounter this sea of faces of friends and neighbors — that is, plaintiffs, defendants and jurors. “In essence we are creating a giant snapshot of the population o f the county at the turn of the century,” Sacca explains. Last year, Sacca and Billings received a commission from the Vermont Art in State Buildings program to create the town portraits, and to design several fea tures integral to the courthouse decor. The photographs will be hung in November, when the new addition is opened to the public. The Caledonia County Photography

Project started in earnest at the end of May in Lyndon. Practically every weekend since, Sacca, Billings and their three chil dren have been trooping to shoots in front o f town halls, churches and mountains. They expect to finish shortly after Labor Day. “If nothing else comes out of this, it’s just to get people to hang out and talk to each other,” Sacca says. “T h at’s a big part o f this.” The sky was threatening to let loose last Sunday when Sacca and Billings drove from their Tunbridge home to their first stop in W heelock. Sacca set up a tripod on the back of his truck, parked on the green in front of Town Hall. He fiddled with his three cameras and waited. Townspeople began to arrive around 2:30, becoming a crowd by 3.

i“ ln e sse n ce we are creating a giant snapshot of the opulation of the county at the turn of the century.” hotographer M ichael S a c c a As Sacca got to work, he gently bullied them into position and surveyed their faces through his lens. “You’ll have to squeeze together m ore,” he said, ducking his head under a black cloth no bigger than a hankie draped over the 4 x 5 viewfinder. T he 100-some people obedi ently shuffled closer together, looking up expectantly. “We’re almost ready,” Sacca said cheer fully. Just then stragglers drove up, jum ped out o f their car and half ran to the narrow green. “I know them, they’re always late,” someone grumbled. A nother voice adm on ished, “Run, run!” T he father o f the fami ly retorted, “I’m always runnin’.” Raindrops filtered through the needles of the w olf pines dom inating the green, but no one seemed to m ind. T he crowd was riveted on Sacca and prepared to say “cheese.” But he had another suggestion. “W here are we?” the photographer yelled from under the hankie. “W heelock!” came the reply. T he shutter clicked. Sacca implored the group to remain still as he frantically clicked more shots with his other two cameras. T he whole thing took about 10 minutes. And so it has gone this summer. About 108 ofW heelock’s 500 residents showed up to represent their town. It was an exceptional turnout, considering a

recent Sheffield-Wheelock school budget vote only attracted 17 people, according to W heelock’s former Town Clerk Carol Rossi. Sacca’s goal was to do the impossible: If it was up to him, he’d somehow capture images o f the entire population of Caledonia County — all the estimated 28,812 people who live there — if he could collar them into the courthouse. T h at being impossible, he and Billings rely on a network o f volunteers in each com m unity to get the word out. In Stannard, for example, Regina Troiano passed out brochures on Green-Up Day, sent out a mailing and hit the grapevine hard. The result: Fifty-eight of 170 residents mugged in front o f their historic town church. “A little reminding had to be done, but it wasn’t too bad,” Troiano says. “It was heartening to see people coming.” In Newark and Kirby, just over a quar ter o f some 400 residents came out for the shoot. In bigger towns, it’s been tougher. N ot quite 200 o f Lyndon’s 5000 residents participated. “If we get 15 percent of the county, I guess that’s okay,” Sacca concedes. It’s get ting people together that matters, he believes. “In Sheffield you had farmers, in their green garb and well-worn hats covered w ith grease, standing beside new people sitting around having ice cream,” he notes.

“It reminded me of ice cream socials where people would find out what was going on on your side of the hill.” Sacca, 45, is a professional photogra pher, videographer and producer with 25 years of experience. But it’s his soft-spoken wife who feels particularly connected to this photo project. Elizabeth Billings comes from a long line of public serviceoriented progenitors. Her grandfather, Franklin Billings, Sr., was Governor of Vermont in the 1920s. H er great-uncle Fred founded the Billings M useum — a “working-farm” nonprofit in Woodstock. Her father, Franklin Billings, Jr., was a prom inent lawyer, House Representative and Speaker of the House before he was appointed to the Vermont Supreme C ourt and, later, to the federal bench. W hen Billings and Sacca visited the old Caledonia County Courthouse, she came across a picture o f her dad in a series of photographs of lawyers. O n their drive home, the couple thought up the town portrait idea. Billings says the project rep resents her sense of the judicial system. “If you’re not a participant in it, it doesn’t w ork,” she says. “Isn’t that what democracy is about, for better or worse?” Bill Botzow is the Art in State Buildings coordinator for the Vermont Arts Council, which shepherds the adm in istration of the “1 percent for art” pro gram for federally funded projects.

year the Vermont Legislature appropriates up to $50,000, which is granted to one or two projects. Botzow can’t say enough about the one in Caledonia County. “They’re very appropriate artists for this commission,” he says. “Elizabeth grew up playing in courthouses, and the work speaks to the entire com m unity; it repre sents all the towns. T he courthouse repre sents a house for juries drawn from that county,” Botzow adds. “W hat you’re really seeing [in the photos] is the jury. Those are your peers and they decide w hat justice is in the county. T heir work comes from their understanding o f the com m unity [the courthouse] sits in.” Billings, a weaver, is no stranger to public arts projects. She designed a tapes try installation for the opening of the Johnson State College library. Last year she w on a commission for the Emery H ubbard building in Newport. A nd she is currently working w ith Andrea Wasserman on two installations at the Burlington Airport. T he photos are just one aspect o f the Caledonia C ounty project. Billings and Sacca also designed the granite flooring for the lobby, and Billings is weaving acousti cal panels for the courtroom . T he pressure is on — both the court house and airport projects are due in November. And it’s not like Billings and Sacca have nothing else to do. H e works full-time as a videographer for D artm outh College. And the couple is building a house this sum m er — never m ind raising three young children. But the Caledonia C ounty Photo Project is on the front burner at the m om ent. “W e’re trying to p ut the public back in public art,” Sacca suggests. “It’s just a little corner o f the state, but com m unity counts, no m atter how many peo ple there are.” ®

O ther Vermont lights in the early M ormon church include Oliver Cowdery, born in Wells, Heber Kimball, born in Sheldon, Erastus Snow, born in St. Johnsbury, and Luke and Lyman Johnson, both from Pomfret. Fourteen other Vermonters were also involved in the development o f the Mormon church. I know this because the Saints, as they are sometimes called, have a lively and doctrinally compelling interest in genealo gy, and because I am compelled to ask how it is that the two heavy hitters of the M ormon church — Smith and Young — were both born here.

I am compelled to ask how it is that he two heavy hitters of the Mormon, .church — Smith and Young — ___ were both born in Vermont. It’s an unfair question and one I can see has no real resonance for them. The roots of M ormonism are here, they seem to be saying, because, well, um, that is where they are. It’s a touchy subject, M or monism — the history o f the movement is to some degree the history of them not getting along with their neighbors, and being ejected and self-propelled across the American landscape. As a lapsed Quaker with tolerant incli nations, I am always secretly puz zled by the historical uproar sur rounding the Latter-Day Saints and secretly impressed by their

Behind all this, in the woods, are the remains o f other houses, an old turnpike, a stone bridge over a brook and other evidence of lost rural civilization, h .. >; . | W alking the recommended

loop through the woods, I think about Joseph Smith and his claims on our attention. He was a man of angels and gold plates, lost civilizations and mysteries, miracles and revelations. Some people say he was a con man and a money digger who dabbled in sorcery, and that he was licen tious, advancing polygamy because it was a nicer word for what he was already practicing. Fraudulent, glib, bossy, prevari cating, seductive — the well o f unpleasant things that have been said about the first prophet is deep and, like a well, intriguingly dark and narrow. Still, none o f his detractors denies Smith set som ething big in motion, propelled people through time and space and insisted strenuously on a com m itm ent to a new set o f moral values. Smith claimed that The Book o f Mormon was transcribed from a set of gold plates he found in Palmyra, New York, and that the plates were written in an Egyptian script he translated with the aid o f “Urim and T hum m im ,” a sacred instrum ent that may have been a pair o f specta cles, but perhaps not. An angel, Moroni, led him to this treasure; the plates told the story o f preColumbian America from 2200 B.C. to about 420 A.D. As history, The Book o f Mormon is a troubling docum ent since it depicts an advanced, homogenous culture not verified by archeological record. W hich is really too bad: Smith’s prehistoric America had coins, sails, horses, wheels, steel and, I believe, ele phants. I’ve read that the book has much in com m on — proba bly too much — with a novel written by one Solomon Spaulding at about the same time, and with another text called View o f the Hebrews, p rint ed five years earlier in 1825. None o f this shocks or both ers me. Perhaps it should, but good swiping, as Jules Feiffer once pointed out, is an art in itself and compiling speculative histories o f the New W orld and its inhabitants was alluring since there were no tiresome facts to be accounted for. But, but, but — I can almost hear Smiths critics objecting, balling their hands into fists — his book is sworn to be sacred, revealed and true. The truth about truth is that it is con tingent and multiple, just like the clean, open woods that offer up trails leading in various direc tions, dotted with helpful little signs. One, I notice, says PATRI ARCH. I look at this sign for a long time, trying to remember if the map at the m outh o f the trail said anything about a patriarch hidden in the woods — you would think such a thing would come up. And you can’t say patriarch” in this particular con text w ithout semantic conse quences: I peer up the trail and watch it wind away am ong the trees and decide that this is something I really have to see. Its fairly steep, but perhaps it ought to be, considering there’s a patri arch up there.

erm ont in the early 19th century was in some ways pretty abysmal — the farm harvest was a mix of wool, milk, forage and rocks. Better land to the West lured many away, including the Smith family, who apparently — though perhaps coincidentally — gave up on the state right after the infamous “year w ithout a summer.” In 1815 M ount Tambora in the East Indies erupted and did what volcanoes sometimes do: disrupt ed the climate. Atmospheric upset brought four killing frosts to Vermont between June 6 and August 30, 1816, along with sev eral unseasonable and demoraliz ing snowfalls.

SEVEN DAYS

july 5, 2000

now called the Second Great Awakening, an upsurge in reli gious questing that effectively bit through the thick rope of eastern Calvinism. The result was Bap tists, Methodists and evangelists happily and earnestly off the leash, sniffing new spiritual fron tiers. Today, this movement away from Puritanism seems inevitable — we don’t approve of Puritans anymore, any more than we real ly understand them. But that isn’t the point. T he point is that there was something in the air, some thing unmediated and openended: Religious life was being transformed by the pioneer expe rience into something change able, exhilarating and perhaps a bit naughty. The trail, which I assumed would be short and easy, has become steep, endless, difficult and tantalizing. I won’t quit, but I am muttering: This had better be good. As I climb I picture a stone man in a stone chair, hand upraised or perhaps another cel lar hole with an interpretive tablet inside. Or, my thirsty body decides, a pretty spring, a silver cup, a little table. Maybe there’s an eager, happy Saint up there, offering tracts and lemonade, and a paved road and a bus that will take me back down the m oun tain. I wish I’d worn better shoes, but there is no turning back now. I’m ready, after this long, patriar chal climb, for anything. Except, o f course, for what I find. Cresting the sum m it, I turn

to the west and see the river , unrolling like a sheet o f bright steel at my feet; individual leaves on far-off trees reflect individual squares o f sunlight; a burnished raven hangs over a glassy pond. I recognize nothing. W here on Earth am I? I know that familiar valleys can look very different from a high vantage point, but for a long m om ent I have an idea that I have crossed a boundary into some alternate, glittering version o f the Vermont pied m ont, into a kind o f fairyland. The shine is only light, but it still dazzles me; if I look carefully I can pick out the bright needle of the Smith Memorial below, which shimmers miraculously, simultaneously, in both worlds. A trick o f the light, maybe, and a trick that ends quickly, almost guiltily, as if I have entered a room and caught the furniture frolicking. The light snaps back to normal and becomes merely golden; an ordi nary breeze combs out the grass. Because I am a Vermonter I am not fooled by this false innocence and wait a little impatiently for the fireworks to start up again; the state does this sometimes and is lousy with magic. As I wait, I realize I have abandoned my men in chairs, my plaques, my lemon ade concessions. These ideas have slipped away silently, embarrassed by their own inadequacy. I watch the sun drop and wonder if I have seen, obliquely, the roots of a religion. Back at the visitors’ center, I ask one o f the Saints about the church land? W here did it get the name? W hat does it mean? He is a young man, Asian-American, with a cast on one arm and a helpful, slightly edgy manner. He says yes, that is church land; it’s called the Patriarch because, well, that is what it is called. “You went up there?” he asks. “Yes. It’s quite an experience, don’t you think?” He gives me another one of his sweet, nervous smiles. “I expected something differ ent,” I say, “but I wasn’t disap pointed.” “We had a group from Salt Lake City, 120 o f them, go up there yesterday.” “W hat did they do there?” “Well,” he explains w ithout explaining, “it’s very beautiful. In an unusual way, we think. But steep, as you know, and a long way.” We part ways w ithout fur ther questions, but we are not quite done. T he next day I call and by luck get him on the phone. After a few preliminaries I get down to business. “W hich way,” I ask him, “does the m onu m ent face?” “I’ve watched the shadows on it. I think it faces south.” “Are you sure?” “I’m pretty sure.” “I want it to face west,” I tell him. “I know,” he says. “So do I.” ® Adaptedfrom O ff the Leash: Subversive Journeys A round Vermont, by Helen Husher, copy right 1999.

Judge Bryan ruled that UVM’s opposition to coughing up the internal documents was not with out merit. “I conclude,” wrote Bryan, “that in the end the just result is to put the litigation down to the cost of doing business, and there should be no award of attor neys fees.” The Freeps isn't buying it. The newspaper has appealed Scaldin’ Alden’s ruling to the Vermont Supreme Court. Funny, but the Freeps hasn’t reported any of this. Dean vs. Ayatollah Khomeini???

— Yours truly crashed last Thursday’s fundraiser for Democrat state senate candidates at the home of Phil and Crea Lintilhac, located on the grounds of Shelburne Farms. About 150 guests ponied up $ 100 each to eat, drink, be merry and hear Gov. Howard Dean trash the Republican opposition. We’ve already noted Ho-Ho has called Republican gubernatorial hopeful Ruth Dwyer an “extremist.” In his fiery pep talk delivered in the Lintilhac’s spacious living room, Gov. Dean upped the ante. HoHo compared Mrs. Dwyer to for mer House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

The Vermont Republican Party, said Dean, is comprised of “flat tax, flat Earth people who say evolution can’t be taught in schools anymore... The other party is closer to Ayatollah Khomeini in terms of how govern ment wbrks.” ; • > iftir/o-fD Think Vermont’s four-term governor is more than a little wor ried about this election? In fact, with Dwyer attacking from the right and Anthony Pollina attacking from the left, Ho-Ho has plenty to worry about. And just a month ago, the Lintilhacs hosted a fundraiser for, of all people, Ralph Nader and Anthony Pollina! Mrs. Lintilhac serves on the board of VPIRG. Guess who she’ll vote for in the governors race? Also in attendance was Progressive Party state committee member Elizabeth Skarie. Ms. Skarie, wife of ice cream mogul Jerry Greenfield, said she’s run ning against Republican State Rep. George Schiavone, a staunch “tra ditional” marriage supporter. Skarie said she’ll run under the “Independent” label, since she was told by seasoned Progs “running as a Progressive won’t play in Shelburne.” Ah, but a rose by any other name would smell as sweet! Media Notes — Having recently become a regular fan of the BBC Web site (www.bbc.co.uk), yours truly was positively thrilled Sunday morning to bump into two ladies from London, England, on the Church Street Marketplace. Claudia Milne and Sarah Montague, producer and reporter from BBC Television headquarters in London, flew'in for the week end to cover the Vermont civilunions story for the world’s most respected news service. Amazing, isn’t it, how they look just like Americans, but when they start talking it’s like watching public tel evision! The BBC Babes, sorry, televi-

sion journalists^ had already inter viewed Derby Line’s infamous T Bible-toting divorcee, Republican State Rep. Nancy Sheltra. Vermont’s Queen of Intolerance made quite an impression on them. Imagine how O f Nancy will play in Great Britain. Jeezum crow. Sure hope she doesn’t scare off the English tourists. Media Notes II — The year 2000 has definitely been an award-win ning year here at Inside Track Central, and last week we picked up another quite prestigious award while covering the big Democrat fundraiser at the Lintilhacs man sion at Shelburne Farms. We are truly blushing with pride to announce the reception of the Marathon Mary Kehoe Tongue Award. You may remember Ms. Kehoe, a Burlington attorney, rep resented the famous UVM goalie drop-out Corey LaTulippe when he filed his hazing lawsuit last December. Many will recall how confidently Ms. Kehoe asserted at the time that all the allegations, every single one of them, were true. “Not a single exaggeration,” said Marathon Mary. Today we all know different. And Ms. Kehoe is no longer representing Mr. LaTulippe. The law firm, Saxer, Anderson, Wolinsky & Sunshine, that used to inhabit the entire top floor at Seven Burlington Square has expe rienced a nasty break-up. The firm dissolved with everyone going their own way. Ms. Kehoe formal ly withdrew from the LaTulippe lawsuit in May. So guess who we see at the Democrat fundraiser at Shelburne Farms enjoying a beverage and; the good cheer of lawyerly Democrat companions? None other than Marathon Mary herself. After all, her step-dad is former Democratic State Sen. Peter Welch, a gentle man who still fancies another shot at governor in the post-Howard Dean Era. When Ms. Kehoe spied yours truly on the Lintilhac premises Thursday evening, she reacted instantaneously by extending the blob of moist flesh normally lodged behind her cheeks. That’s right, folks, Attorney Kehoe stuck her tongue out! So much for Irish women of passion. Needless to say, yours truly was flattered. And in hopes of turning this particular “sow’s ear” into a “silk purse,” we hereby graciously accept with pride the First Annual Mary Kehoe Tongue Award. I’d like to thank my parents for hav ing me. My first-grade teacher Sr. Mary Elizabeth for teaching me to read. And the publishers of this distinguished little Vermont week ly for giving me something to do to occupy my idle hours and keep me out of trouble. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! As she breezed by us at the fundraiser, Ms. Kehoe informed us the Tongue Award was not for our LaTulippe coverage, but rather for last week’s column highlighting her step-dad’s endorsement of Howard Dean over fellow leftist, Anthony Pollina. Hey, frankly, we don’t care why we won the Mary Kehoe Tongue Award, we’re just proud to win. In fact, we hope to repeat next year. In this business, awards like Kehoe’s Tongue make it all worth while. ®

Burlington’s quirkiest musician, James Kochalka Superstar can truly justify his hyperbolic moniker now. Regular readers of this column will recall that Kochalka was recent ly invited to perform at a couple of rock festivals in Denmark and Sweden. He took former Burlington guitarist Pistol (Paul Jaffe) along, as well as his wife Amy,King, and performed with members of several Danish bands on the Crunchy Frog label. Since his return home last Wednesday, Kochalka’s still buzzed about his “real rock star” experience. At his first show at the Hultsfred fest in Sweden, attendance was sparse, he reports, but word appar ently traveled fast. By the second one, “a lot of people knew the words and were singing along; they spent the whole time trying to reach out and touch me.” I guess it does n’t take long, really, to learn the words to those ultra-short ditties. At the end of his set, Kochalka — who only partially disrobed, due to the all-ages crowd — screamed out, “I love you.” That apparently inspired eight big guys to leap onto the stage and hug him, whereupon “I yelled into the mike, ‘Help!’” he says. Thankfully it was nothing like Roskilde’s human-crush tragedy at

the Pearl Jam concert last Saturday — another Woodstock-inspired fes tival probably attended by Kochalka’s new-found Danish friends, he speculates. While in Copenhagen, Kochalka was inspired to write a new song, “China Box” — that’s Chinese take out, Danish-style — about a karaoke diva at Sam’s, a chain of karaoke bars in the country. Needless to say, the crowd loved it. Speaking of bars, the one he per formed at was in a section of the city taken over by anarchists some 30 years ago, Kochalka says. “The police are not welcome there; peo ple are building their own self-gov erning city.” The bar, Operon, is a druggie dive — “the bartender never stopped smoking pot all night,” he marvels. Not a user — nor even much of a drinker — him self, Kochalka watched while every one else partied hard, and didn’t get a lot of sleep. “One of the interesting things about this rock fest is, I would meet so many people who would go on and on telling me how great I was,” says Kochalka, “to the point where it became meaningless. I later found out some of them were big rock stars in Sweden.” He regrets not being able to return the accolades,

HOW SWEET IT IS Civil unions are not the only same-sex news in Vermont. This Saturday marks the state’s first-ever Queer Outdoor Music Festival, suitably called “Sugarfest.” Organizer “ Periwinkle” (Steven Kopstein) says the day-long Hanksville event is a “private party open to all kind-hearted people.” In other words, rednecks and bigots need not appear. Any other “fey spirits and friends” can stir it up at the Sugarfest — and campers are welcome. Call 434-5653 for direc tions. On the bill are The Dream Tribe — “rave boyz,” in and out of drag — Yolanda & the Plastic Family; Jean Meike & The Generics; Pistol Pete & Popgun Paul; drag songstress Noel; singer-songwriters Emily Nyman and Ernest David Lijoi; The Gay Men’s Chorus of Vermont; New York singer Deian McBryde; dancers Agnes DeGarron and Francisco Ryder. And don’t

expect things to get dull between acts: Comics and DJs will be on hand to move things along. It’s a BYO (food and drink) affair, and bring a donation, too, for this gay old time. The fun starts at aioon. If heterosexual groove/jazz/funk stuff is more your thing, head to the Ho-Down 2000 in Wendell State Park in Wendell, MA, this weekend — about 20 miles north of Northampton, it’s an easy drive from Vermont. It’s the fifth annual outdoor music fest put on by the

Universal Records asked to post DysFunkShun on one of its Web sites a few weeks ago (www.farmclub.com), reports Richard Bailey, in order to get feedback on the music, and damn if the Burlington hip-hoppers weren’t “the featured artist of the month” in short order! . . .

The cassette and two CDs that Breakaway have released over the past 11 years have documented a series of personnel changes that has not moved the group one iota away from a clean, rock-solid instrumen tal sound and rich harmonies. Their fourth recording, Hold With Hope, is the first bluegrass CD to be released on Burlington’s eclectic music label Gadfly. Breakaway’s current lineup includes originals Peter Riley (bass, vocals) and Gene White (fiddle) as well as newer members Scott Hopkins (banjo, vocals) — whose recording debut with Breakaway was on their 1997 Signature Sounds release, Watershed — and newest member Paul Miller (guitar, vocals). The tunes on Hold With Hope range from innovative coyg&rto country classics to original cofidpositions by Riley and Hopkins, and by Vermont acousticmusic maven Mark Greenberg. The selection of material here is consistent with the band’s broad range of musical tastes. My personal favorites

include a memorable rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “Pastures of Plenty.” This track, which opens the album, has everything there is to like about the Breakaway sound — a driving beat, an innovative arrangement that doesn’t mask the song, and the tasty vocal harmonies of Miller down low and Riley up high. Hold With Hope also offers a stellar, grassed-up ver sion of Los Lobos’ “One Time, One Night,” a highand-lonesome instrumental version of Jesse Colin Young’s “Darkness Darkness” — fea turing White’s smooth and laid-back fiddling — and a killer reading of George Jones’ “Old Old House,” which really shows off Miller’s vocals. July 25 is the official release date for Hold With Hope, but it can be purchased in advance from Gadfly. No date yet for a CD release party, but keep your eyes open — as good as they are in the studio, Breakaway is even better live. — Robert Resnik flips«

FOR EP FANS ONLY

THE FIGGS,

(HeartBox.com, CD) —The Figgs are one of those bands that have gained the respect of fans nation wide through sheer tenacity, weathering the highand low-fi tides in the label game. Somehow they’ve managed to stick it out and stay relevant

in the fickle world of rock ’n’ roll. This New Yorkbased unit gives every second-rate retro act a bad name, because The Figgs are already doing it bet ter, striking a modern balance with tradition, and capturing the old-school feel and sound of acts like The Replacements and Elvis Costello while cranking out amazing songs on a regular basis. On their latest CD, For EP Fans Only, the band is practically showing off, releasing seven songs in original rough-mix version. It’s a little raw production-wise, but still puts most contem porary high-sheen records to shame. Relying more on energy and attitude than distortion, most of these tracks make the kind of racket that sounds best loud. The drums are a driving force, taking an old-fashioned, bash-and-crash approach to the back beat and leaving space for the kind of bass notes that I’d swear come from a Rick. Tasty tre ble-tinged guitar rattles out chords and twanging leads. The lead track, “Waiting For the Sun to Rise,” starts out in a slightly surf mode before slipping into the power-pop fans have come to expect and love. “Excuse the Lame Excuse” and “Thought I Drank the Drink But the Drink Drank Me” stand out for their straight rock, combining clever word play and heroic vocal hooks. These are two of the most memorable songs here. “Please One More Time” takes a more mid-tempo approach on the sensitive side of Figg-dom, expressing a hint of doubt and exerting just a little pressure on the heartstrings. “Right On their Case,” a little like an angry Joe Jackson song, is another winner. Overall this disc is a solid bet, albeit brief. But even the brevity is in the pop spirit. The EP visu ally plays on Elvis Presley, whose likeness graces both the back cover and inner sleeve. A tireless road band, The Figgs have as strong a reputation for their rockin’ shows as for their songwriting, so your best bet for the full picture is their show at Metronome this Thursday. If you still believe in rock ’n’ roll, this is where to find it. — C olin Clary

Art. Crafts, Balloons! he third annua! Craftproducers Stowe Summer Art & Craft Festival is set under sweeping medieval-style white tents in an idyllic meadow at Topnotch Field on the Mountain Road in Stowe. Those who have attended Craftproducers events over the past quarter century know they will find a feast for the senses at these one-of-a-kind Vermont-grown festivals, starting with over a hundred of the very best of today’s fine artists and craftspeople work ing in an exciting variety of creative media hand picked from across the country and Canada.

S uzanne Lovejoy

Suzanne Lovejoy, of West Townsend in Southern Vermont, creates handwoven chenille wearables and other fabrics. These include luxuriant soft pil lows, blankets, scarves, sweaters, floor length coats, dresses and vests in dark, rich blues, pur ples, reds and greens. "Weaving has always fascinated me," Suzanne says. " I was initially drawn to the loom as a machine - how could all those moving parts create cloth out of so many threads? Once I learned the mechanics, I experimented with the two aspects of craft I find the most interesting: texture and color." Handweaving has a long history throughout the Those who haven’t been to a Craftproducers festi- SUZANNE LOVEjOY world. Suzanne’s use of contemporary fibers and val are in for a rare treat. A highly competitive jury colors brings the tradition full circle. "I strive for a process has over the years developed a unique diversity of quali marriage of beauty and function in my garments by blending the ty artists who take pride in personally presenting their work to a sensual texture of chenille with rich, saturated color," she discerning public, and who delight in being part of the commu explains. "My garments are classically simple with special atten nity of fellow artists they have come to know and tion to finishing details." appreciate over the years through Craftproducers.

PETER BRAMHALL

Additionally, Craftproducers creates a truly festive atmosphere with a tantalizing selection of regional specialty foods, booths offering a cornucopia of foods and beverages to imbibe on the site, and some of Vermont’s most talented and engaging musicians and entertainers. The ever eclectic strings and brass ensemble, Virtual Consort, will be on hand to delight audiences with music spanning the boundaries between modern classical, Fellini film music and bossa nova. With free admission to children and young adults through age 17, many families make a day of attending the Stowe Summer Art & Craft Festival, together with taking in the Stoweflake balloon festival in the early morning or evening just a mile down the road the same weekend, July 7-9 [see article, facing page). Though the artists and craftspeople exhibiting at the Stowe festi val come from throughout the country, a sampling of a handful of artists native to Vermont provides a feel for the quality and diversity of offerings to be found there.

Piper S trong If you look up "unique" in the dictionary, you might find a photo of one of Piper Strong’s metal sculptures. Piper’s highly imaginative, fanciful and col orful creations depict humans and animals 'n sett'nSs sometimes ordinary (a couple sharing dinner), more often highly unusual (women frolicking amidst the moon and stars). Her figures are wrought in steel and brass, then fired with colorful enamel. All Piper’s sculptures, some of which serve as functional furniture, are one-of-a-kind works of art, and will absolutely, positively elicit an endless stream of comments from your visi tors. Her studio is on her Northeast Kingdom farm in Walden, Vermont.

SJE.E &

PIPER STRONG

Peter Bramhall Peter Bramhall of Bridgewater creates exquisite and colorful blown glass sculpture with what he calls "interior movement." "Glass has been very good to me," says Peter, a native Vermonter who lives and works on land that belonged to his parents. "To my knowledge, there’s nobody else doing work like this. The Interiors are spherical shapes with multicolored stranding and membraining on the inside They do beautifully on a dining room table, in a living room or a corporate board room. Some of Peter’s sculpture combines brass and blown glass. His ’Venus’ Desire #3,’ featured this month at the Helen Day Arts Center in Stowe, is about 7 feet high. . He started his largest piece five years ago - a 5,000 pound fountain, that took three and a half years and $65,000 of materials to create. "So in that sense, I really believe in pushing the bound aries," Peter explains. O f his creative process, Peter summarizes, "It’s a following through of an individual vision, which deals in an abstract way with the ebbs and flows of my life. In my most recent work, there are a lot of bronze shapes that frame neg ative spaces, which are punctuated with almost snakelike and abstract flower-like pieces of glass." TREVOR TAIT Peter attended the Penlands School of Crafts in North Carolina, and has a degree in sculpture from the Cleveland Institute of Art. His Bridgewater studio has been open since 1970.

V ermont Vagabond (B ev C umming) Not all Craftproducers exhibitors create one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Although all their work is handmade employing original designs, Vermont Vagabond is a good example of an exhibitor whose work is manufactured as a small business and marketed to a wide customer base who value the fine workmanship and

simple yet creative style Vermont is known for. Vermont Vagabond, based in Hinesburg, makes a complete line of sport &. business bags. "We build durable, functional, good looking bags for your stuff," succinctly explains Beverly Cummings. "Our goal is to make your life easier, more organized and comfortable by helping you haul the load. Vermont Vagabond bags are hand-crafted (using) only the best materials and construction techniques, pro viding you with the highest quali ty bag you can buy." The Vermont Vagabond line includes colorful, durable and affordable backpacks, sports bags, business bags, travel bags, shoul der bags, accessories VERMONT VAGABOND and even specially designed kids’ bags.

T revor Tait Trevor Tait, who recently opened a studio showroom on Route 2 in Marshfield, fashions one-of-a-kind offbeat, asymmetrical func tional pottery with contemporary designs. These include very styl ish vases and teapots, suitable for traditional or creative uses, as well as geometric quiltlike tile designs in frames with lines com ing together like a chain or maze. "My work in all its manifestations takes its inspiration from nature," explains Trevor. "At present it takes three forms. First is a line of pottery combining natural motifs reminiscent of the stained glass work of my grandmother and simple forms thrown on the wheel that are then squared off from the inside. Second are whimsical and eccentric one of a kind teapots (see cover photo). These are spontaneous compositions of pattern, texture, and color handbuilt from slabs, coils and odd pieces arranged into functional teapots. (I often laugh to myself as I make these; it's like playing "Mr. Potato Head.") The last is a line of custom tiles with designs of pond animals, vegetables, leaves, and Celtic knot work. I often make these into wall murals." Asked about the evolution of his art, Trevor says, "I have been playing with clay since I was a child, but I didn't take it as serious fun until college. After receiving a BA in Studio Art with a minor in Geology, I spent a year working in Seattle before getting my Masters of Fine Art in Ceramics from the School for American Craftsmen at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I have been working out of my own studio for ten years." So bring your friends, your family, your sweetheart, or just treat yourself to a beautiful and festive day in the country amidst the finest crafts and artwork Vermont and northeast America has to offer. We look forward to seeing at Topnotch Field in Stowe this weekend. Cal! the Stowe Area Association (802-253-7321) or check out our Web site - www.craftproducers.com - for more information.

The Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival, presented by Grand Union, is set to launch the week end of July 7-9, 2000 in picturesque Stowe, Vermont.

tout toot: Jazz isn’t for everybody. But the Montreal Jazz Festival strives to make it so. Coined “the grand-daddy of street parties” by the Toronto Star, the 10-day spectacle boasts remarkably diverse performers. Appearances by hip-hop group Blackalicious, reggae star Jimmy Cliff and punk icon Patty Smith prove that organizers are not afraid to push the genre envelope. There’s plenty of four-star jazz for purists, though: Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock and Max Roach are also among the headliners. Montreal Jazz Festival, Wednesday, July 5 through Saturday, July 9. Various times and venues around Montreal. Info, 514-871-1881.

high hopes: jet engines might be a technologi cal marvel, but hanging sus pended in a basket is a lot more daring. Since its invention in 1783, the hot air balloon has intrigued earthlings. It may not be the most practical mode of transportation — you do have to go where the winds take you — but the adventure aspect keeps it popular. At the Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival, nearly two dozen col orful craft take to the sky. There are plenty of activities for the ground bound, but admis sion tickets do qualify each holder for a chance at their own Richard Branson-style ride. Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival, Friday, July 7, 3 p. m. Saturday and Sunday, July 8-9, 6:30 a.m. - 6:30p.m. Stoweflake Resort. $5-8. Info, 253-7355.

late vintage: It might sound out of season. But Autumn Tale, the final film in Eric Rohmer’s “Four Seasons” quartet, is about someone in the third-quarter of life. A fortysomething widow discovers that two of her friends have set her up with dates — at the same event. But predictable farce does not ensue: Rohmer, a founder of the French New Wave in the ’60s, knows how to fill plots with subtle delights. Instead of discussing love, a la Julia Roberts, the dialogue is metaphorical. Set in the vine yards of the Rhone region, the friendships and romance that come to fruition are worth a look, even in summer. Autumn Tale, Saturday, July 8.

potter heads:

Harry Potter is a popular kid. He’s so well-known, in fact, publishers didn’t seem to think the fourth episode of his literary adven tures needed a name. Until a leak revealed that it would be called Harry Potter and the Goblet o f Fire, even booksellers were left in the dark by Scholastic, Inc., who said the name was supposed to be a sur prise, “like a birthday or a Christmas present, for the kids.” It looks more like a pub licity stunt to some — not that marketing ploys are necessary. Expect the sorcery saga to sell out at midnight parties for young fans, featuring games, music and trivia contests. Harry Potter Parties, Friday, July 7. Flying Pig Childrens Books, Charlotte, 11:45p.m. Info, 425-2600. Borders, Church Street Marketplace, Burlington, 11 p.m. Also at Borders, Harry Potter Breakfast, Saturday, July 8, 8 a. m. Free.

By M arc Awodey lass is as ancient as it is beautiful, and “Liquid Fire: The Art of Glass” at Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center reiterates just how alluring, and protean, the stuff is. Proteus was a minor Greek sea god who could assume any shape at will to avoid being captured by adventurers seeking his wisdom. Glass predates even this myth, and one could easily suspect by that the myth was influen the material. Three o f Proteu favorite guises, after all, were ts sand, fire and water. The of glass-making were as j guarded as the gods. The contemporary work in this exhibit reveals how far glass work has come from those ancient days. The “studio movement” began with the advent o f smaller furnaces in the 1960s as individual artists, outside of large workshops and facto ries, began to explore their own ideas. Alan Goldfarb of Burlington is gaining international renown pioneering this route. His seven “Venetian Style Green Tinted Goblets” echo the simple elegance of Renaissance cristillo — a type of glass that is cooled very quickly, and so requires particu lar dexterity to craft. Goldfarb is also a master of orthodox glassblowing techniques. “The Marine Series,” by Canadian artist Toan Klein, also works with familiar form to present distinctively original works. W ithin clear, urn shaped vessels Klein sus pends painterly nuclei of variegated hues that sim ulate the colors of a trop ical shoal. “Fish Plate,” by the Sheffield, Massachusetts, studio of Fellerman & Raabe, also has a maritime theme, expressed in fanciful dec oration reminiscent of M inoan ceramics. A piscean m otif of fanciful fish swims inside the rim of the plate. O ther objects by Fellerman & Raabe have geometric devices that seem equally inspired by Keith Haring designs and Anasazi pic-

toglyphs: Gary Zack o f Saratoga Springs creates vessels with painterly exterior surfaces while filling the inner walls with fields of pure, intense color. “Color Pot, red/cobalt” has hints o f iri descence, vibrant threads of color and sheets that appear to be gold leaf across its red sur face. Its interior is empty, except for a rich, deep cobalt blue. Many purely sculptural works adorn this show as well. “Venus’ Desire,” by Peter Bramhall of Bridgewater, Vermont, is a heroic, seven-foot sculpture o f curving black steel crowned by translucent glass details inspired by lilies and narwhale horns. T he words “glass”

W ithin clear, urnhaned vessels

and “m onum ental” do not often coexist, b u t Bramhall has so well integrated his materials that they seem completely natural together. Bramhall also presents a series o f “Interiors” that are large, hollow balls seemingly inside out. “Interior II, N ight Sky” contains planes of purple and turquoise beneath its clear surface. Three artists from Moscow, Vermont — M onique La Jeunesse, Eva Juneblad and Paul Schwieder — all seem to be informed by varying degrees of Surrealism. “Jacks and Ball,” by La Jeunesse, is just what the title says — but an attem pt to bounce this ball would be tragic, as the “toys” are fash ioned from colored glass. T he ball has a violet-brown tint, and the jacks are composed o f simple, crystalline primary and secondary colors. A more organic kind o f surrealism exists in Juneblad’s work. Her vertical, conical forms tipped by whimsical details look like Miro n figures sprung into three dimensions. The artist juxtaposes tex tures as she explores the results o f disparate materials incorporated in the glass. “Them e of Her, Yellow” is stuffed w ith yellow hair beneath its transparent surface, and “Them e of Her, Full” is filled with stones. An untitled wall piece by Schwieder is described in the exhibit checklist as “sandblasted and electroformed on forged steel wall m ount 9" x 27".” It is a somewhat unnerving image that looks like a translucent rib cage — not hum an but almost human-scaled. But aside from the obvious conno tation, the form is grace ful and rhythmic within its curved, tapered ribs o f glass. As small-studio glass artists continue to refine technique and explore new aesthetic avenues, glass is entering a gen uinely new phase in its unique and lengthy his tory. For a medium you can see through, it re mains remarkably vital. ®

ing them with two choices: Sit out the storm a safe distance away and sacrifice their hard-won bonanza, or go for it —- take their chances and sail straight through the storm in hopes of making it home before their catch goes bad. In an effort to spoil as few surprises as possible, I’ll say only that eventually we get a good long look at the tempest o f the century, and it is a wonder to behold, a work o f awesome com puter wizardry. Petersen has forged a breathtaking spectacle, a watery hell o f seemingly Himalayan proportions. Next to this, Jan De Bont’s twisters look like Saturday m orning cartoons. So, yes, the answer is, it’s w orth it. T he back-stories, in some cases, may be little more than Hollywood shorthand, but when it comes to the man vs. nature part o f the picture, Petersen gets the picture in a big way. T he final act is a surprising ly potent cocktail o f terror, fool hardy giddiness, bravado, irony, poignancy, courage and tender ness that I’d put up against the final act o f virtually any action adventure ever made. Good news for anyone w ho’s been patiently awaiting the day when m ainstream filmmakers w ould begin to grasp the im por tance o f pairing technology with solid storytelling. Based on releases like Gladiator and The Perfect Storm, the forecast would seem to call for im proving con ditions in moviehouses every where. ®

message to young people — all young people. And this is anoth er thing feminist critics forget, at the time the book came out, that message spoke just as powerfully to young women as it did to young men. Both Kerouac and Ginsberg were powerful messen gers, expressing all the frustra tions and bottled up longings that a lot of people felt.

SD: These days, of course, the couple would be e-m ailing. JJ: Maybe. E-mail would have been nice in certain cases, when I didn’t know where Jack was for weeks. It might have helped me as I was about to pick up and meet him in San Francisco or Mexico.

“ Jack to o k m e seriou s ly as a writer, and that was a very im por tant thing to m e. That is reflected in th e letters.” -----Joyce Johnson

RIDE?

SD: To keep tra c k of his moods?

. ..

TANDEM?

JJ: His moods changed constant ly, even w ithin paragraphs. You see that very clearly in the letters.

SD: Do you th in k he m ight have been b ipolar or some thing? JJ: M ight have been. Kerouac was a mad kind o f genius, but when you get into ascribing causes, it becomes very reductive. I think you have to respect the mysteries o f hum an nature. Certainly if you are a novelist, you do.

SD: Has anyone ever suggest ed you are sim ply cashing in on this fortuitous association?

JJ: O h, yeah. There was one recent review o f this book sug gesting that. I am trying to share this whole experience by writing som ething that reflects my increased understanding o f it.

SD: Do you th in k you’ve w ritten your last book about Kerouac? JJ: I will certainly never write another book about Kerouac. After all, this is just a little piece o f my life. It’s not the only thing that ever happened to me. Joyce Johnson will readfrom D oor W ide O pen: A Beat Love Affair in Letters, 1957-1958, at 7 p.m . on Tuesday, July 11, at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier.

Your response was that i f he added any o f those parts it would void his warranty. N ot only is that untrue, but it is illegal fo r a warranty to be voided ju st because an aftermarket p a rt was added to the vehicle. I have enclosed sections o f the federal MagnussonMoss Warranty Act fo r your edification. — Cathy T O M : We have to stand by our advice, Cathy. T he Magnusson-M oss Act says that a m anufac turer may not deny war

ranty coverage solely because a customer has used an aftermarket part. RAY: But if the m anu facturer determines that the aftermarket part is in some way responsible for the mechanical problem, it absolutely CAN void the warranty. And many o f the performance parts this guy w anted to install certainly could be blamed for future mechanical problems. T O M : T he MagnussonMoss Act is meant to protect a guy who goes to the Poky Lube down the street and gets a Fram filter instead o f a “genuine Dodge filter.” In that case, the Dodge dealer can’t refuse to fix the engine because the guy used another brand o f filter that meets the exact same specifications. RAY: But if a guy puts on a free-flow exhaust that lowers the exhaust system’s back pressure, and then asks the dealer to fix his burnt valves under warranty, the deal er could certainly point

to the modified exhaust system and refuse to cover it. TO M : T he same is true if a guy puts on a set of hum ongous wheels and then tries to make a war ranty claim for worn-out wheel bearings. RAY: In cases like those, the manufacturer would have every justification for denying warranty coverage on those affect ed parts. T O M : Sure, you can always argue with the dealer, but you’ll proba bly have to take it to court to get satisfaction. And believe me, neither Mr. Magnusson nor Mr. Moss is going to show up in small claims court to help you plead your case. And the dealer may very well win. RAY: So we think avoid ing “high-performance” parts on a new car is generally good advice, Cathy. And we’re stick ing with it. Dear Tom and Ray: M y sister lives in

Anchorage, Alaska, and wants to buy a new car. Cars (like most everything else) are expensive in Alaska. She wants to fly to California to visit me, enjoy the warm weather and the hot tub, do some sisterly bonding, and then buy a new car and drive it to Alaska (via a ferry from Seattle). Will a California car, with all o f its smog devices, survive in Alaska? — Laura T O M : Sure it will, Laura. It’ll run fine. And if it’s a new, or relatively new, car, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting it worked on. RAY: The dealer in Alaska will be able to get information on any Cali fornia-specific emissions equipm ent with no problem. T O M : Now, the hot tub with California emis sions equipm ent she’ll be dragging back ... that’s another matter.

Does environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) seriously threat en the general publics health? The May 31 Straight Dope claimed this threat is “unproven at best. ” To your credit, you did concede that this smoke is a “danger to vulnerable folk such as asthmatics, children, and the elderly”and is “harmful, broadly speaking. ” You also found “impressive”the smoking opponents’list o f official pronouncements and studies, 63 o f which found “some evidence o f harm from ETS. ” So 1 wonder why the evidence in these 63 studies still left you suspecting the tobacco industry “may be right” in denying any link between passive smoking and lung cancer.

studies by authors with ties to the tobacco industry). A nd what about the studies linking secondhand smoke to heart disease, hardening o f the arteries and stroke? A study o f 32.000 nurses by the Harvard School o f Public Health and Harvard Medical Schoolfound a 91 percent greater risk o f heart disease for those regularly exposed to other people’s smoke. According to the study’s main author, “there may be up to 30.000 Americans dying o f heart attacks fo m passive smoking each year. ” — Michael Brennan, Chicago Let me go through this a step at a time. First I’d better make a confession. I said the Journal o f the American Medical Association published a review of 100 studies, 63 of which found ETS was harmful. Actually, the review looked at 106 studies and found evidence of harm in 67, or 63 percent. Not a huge difference, but one strives for perfect accuracy. You ask “why the evidence in these [67] studies still left you suspecting the tobacco industry ‘may be right’ in deny ing any link between passive smoking and lung cancer.” Let’s not mix apples and oranges, bud. The 106 studies covered an assortment of ailments; only 27 had to do with lung cancer. The article, “Why Review Articles on the Health Effects of Passive Smoking Reach Different Conclusions,” is an interesting piece of work. The authors write, “O ur a priori hypotheses were that review articles concluding that passive smoking is not harmful would tend to be poor in quality, published in non-peer-reviewed symposium pro ceedings, and written by investigators with tobacco indus try affiliations.” Sure enough, three-fourths of the studies concluding that ETS was not harmful were written by investigators with tobacco industry affiliations (although sometimes the affiliations were tenuous; e.g., participation in at least two industry-sponsored symposia). The authors found, however, that these studies weren’t low quality and didn’t appear mostly in non-peer-reviewed publications. In short, while the investigators were friendly with Big Tobacco, they weren’t necessarily producing bad science.

Let’s turn to the claim that ETS is linked with heart disease, and in particular to the study of 32,000 nurses, commonly known as the Kawachi study after its lead inves tigator. A number of studies in recent years have found a weak link between ETS and heart disease — on the order of 20 to 25 percent increased risk. These studies are free of the obvious statistical sleight of hand that marred the gov ernment report declaring ETS was carcinogenic. (For one thing, every study I saw used a 95 percent “confidence interval,” a measure of statistical reliability, rather than the less rigorous 90 percent C l used in the government report.) Nonetheless, 20 to 25 percent is a small increase in epi demiological terms, and even some passive-smoke oppo nents concede that “confounding factors” may yet be found. The Kawachi study illustrates the problems with this type of research. The study involved a subset of the partici pants in a larger long-term project called the Nurses’ Health Study. In 1982 participants were asked, “Are you currently exposed to cigarette smoke from other people?” The question was vague, no follow-up questions were asked in later years, and no attempt was made to corrobo rate the responses with objective measures of ETS expo sure. W hat’s more, while 32,000 people participated in the study, only 135 of those exposed to passive smoke had coronary events. Granted, that was more than the 72 events expected based on the experience of the control group, but in both cases the actual quantity was so small that any number of factors might have skewed the results, as critics of the Kawachi study have pointed out. Kawachi himself, in a later review o f workplace exposure to ETS {Environmental Health Perspectives, December 1999), con cedes that while some association between ETS and cardio vascular disease was shown in five o f six studies, “none of the relative risks was statistically significant.” I don’t claim ETS doesn’t cause serious health problems, just that it has n’t been proven yet. ® * — CECIL ADAMS

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): W hat would your supermother do in a situation like this? Notice I didn’t ask, “W hat would your mother do?” I’m not suggesting you call on the commonsense worrying o f your actu al biological mom. Your “supermoth er” is a wise older woman who under stands you telepathically and wants to inspire you to live your life according to your own inner necessity, not hers. If there’s no such person in your life, please find one — or at least create one in your dreams or meditations. You could really use a sympathetic push from a wily crone who’s acutely attuned to the cycle of life-death-life.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Let’s turn our attention to the grow ing power of your mouth. There are so many wonders to report. First of all, Taurus, you’re speaking with increased precision and persuasive ness. How can anyone possibly refute your fluid arguments? Secondly, your sense of taste is becoming more vivid than ever before. May I recommend that you explore the frontiers of gus tatory sensuality? Thirdly, all the divine powers are conspiring to help you upgrade your affinity and apti tude for oral sex. Are you ready to discover new meanings to the term “lip service?”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): In the mythology of Nepalese Hindus, the god of wealth is Kubera. His companion, a mongoose named Nakula, is thought to carry gems within its body. W hen Kubera decides he needs some fresh riches, he gives his pet a good hard hug, squeez ing out the treasure within. And that’s how it came to be that one of the symbols of plenitude in Nepal is a mongoose vomiting jewels. If you’re game, Gemini, I’d like you to make this your sacred image this week. Have fun with it. Remember that one of the secrets of attracting abundance is not to take yourself too seriously.

------------------! ardly power. At your agile command, maddening obstacles will begin to crumble like cookies sprayed with a garden hose. Dreams that had been puttering along like drunken snails will acquire a deft, darting momen tum not unlike the gait of a fox. Helpers who are attracted to your precision will step forward to pro mote your true work in the world, as if God had sent an urgent memo to all the angels in your vicinity. And it all coalesces now, Virgo. Many of the clues that fuel this future break through will first burst into view in the coming week. I recommend that you carry a notebook and pen with you everywhere you go so you’ll be sure to record every leap of your heart, every searing intuition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In his book The Uses o f Enchantment, psychologist Bruno Bettelheim praises the study of fairy tales, dreams and stories that elude the tyranny of ana lytical thought. He even invokes Plato, who “suggested that the future citizens of his ideal public begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings.” In this spirit o f wild and juicy learning, Cancerian, and in accordance with current astrological aspects, I recom mend that you load up on mindbending, id-tickling stories this week. To get your uproarious regimen off to a rowdy start, you might want to check out the book, The Adventures, o f Captain Underpants, wherein two cool kids use their 3-D Hypno Ring to turn their mean old school princi pal Mr. Krupp into a wacky super hero named Captain Underpants.

LIBRA (Sept

23-Oct. 22): So here's where!you get to prove that Librans are good for more than spreading harmony, seeing both sides of every story, and being the caretaker of all the relationships they’re in. Not that there’s anything wrong or inferi or about those talents; it’s just that you can’t afford to be pigeonholed right now as a charming, self-denying peacemaker. To claim all the rewards you have coming to you, you’ll prob ably have to be a pushy tough guy. Is it possible for a refined, balanced soul to have a radiantly authoritative pres ence? Is there a human being alive who can blend gracious sympathy with Nietzschean will power? You’re the only possible answer to those rid dles.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): On the Night W hen Everything Changed, as he meditated under the Bodhi Tree, Buddha triumphed over two different threats. One of them was easier. All he had to do was ward off an army of blood-drinking, snake-devouring demons who fell on him with their weapons drawn. The other danger was far more strenuous. The devil sent his three lovely daughters to offer Buddha their sexual favors. But some how our hero remained firm in his understanding that their gifts were superficial and would divert him from the more interesting and lasting pleasure: the joy o f enlightenment. In the coming weeks, Leo, I suspect this tale will have parallels with your own.

brought another woman into his bed. As the two made love, protective Sobatinyela launched into action, stinging the Big Dude in the backside and causing it to swell up. Enraged by the interruption, God pulverized his wife’s guardian. Later, when the Earth Mother returned to find her beloved pet dead, she rewarded him by reviving him and placing him in the heavens, where he became a con stellation — the same group of stars we call Scorpio. The moral of the tale, as far as you’re concerned: The feminine aspect of the Divine Wow has a special job for you to do in the coming weeks. Your devotion to her wishes will lead to a glorious resurrec tion.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The lucid yet dreamy visions I’ve had about you are hard to translate into words that your con scious ego can understand. Never theless, I’ll try my best to approxi mate. W hat you need most, Sagittar ius, is something like a fiery interven tion that will help you chill out... and a long-distance journey to a place not too far away... and a wall that brings people together instead of keeping them apart... and a dip into the past that will allow you to rein vent the future... and access to a secret you’ve been keeping from yourself.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Oops. You’re now suffering from a condition described by Israeli poet Yona Wallach in her poem, “Again the Soul,” translated by Linda Zisquit: “[T]he soul’s too big on me hanging down like a giant piece of clothing.” W hat are you gonna do about it, Capricorn? N ot shrink your soul, I hope. A much better idea

would be to expand your entire operation — your personality, - your ego, your mind and your aura — until your soul fits more snugly. m

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The radar indicates there’s a spa tial anomaly ahead. Is it akin to a wormhole? Would it transport you instantly from one reality to another? That could be fun, even if it does give you a psychic version of whiplash. O r is it more like a Bermuda Triangle-Twilight Zone-type thing? A place where green lights mean stop and sheer power gets mis taken for integrity and your face feels like a mask? That would be weird. I suggest that you slow down and make a cautious reconnaissance of the anomaly before entering it.

P ISC ES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Dear Restless Refugee: On behalf of the bold, enterprising planet Jupiter, I hereby present you with a formal invitation to become utterly at home in the world. You can take advantage of this offer in several different ways: by moving into your dreamhouse, by crafting a niche that better serves your unique talents, or by working hard to create the family you’ve always wanted. You might also stop waiting around for a more invigorat ing community to develop and instead start building it. This offer is good through July, 2001. Good luck. — The Homecoming Courier.

Dear Lola, What do you do when you’re in love with a woman but you can’t stand her kid? This woman and I are seed friends. I sense the spark c$ a mutual romantic interest, but I’m reluctant to move on it because I hate being around her daughter. And the constant pres ence oft green crust on her upper Up makes me want to puke. Do I suck it up and deal, or walk the other way? Put Oftft in Plainfield Dear Put Oftft, €eew, gross. I can’t believe you used the phrases "green crust on her upper lip’’ and "suck it u p’’ in adjacent sen tences. Now you’ve made us all feel as revolted as you are by your lady friend’s unkempt issue, you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your friend’s kid’s nose. If your friend lets her little girl walk all over her in other ways, make like that nose and run. But if the nose is the only problem, you might want to stick around and wait for the girl to grow cut oft it.

Love. d
