2ND OPINION ON THE 4TH What does the Fourth of July mean to me [Question,” July 4]? It means the perpetuation of the hypocrisy on which this country was founded and which continues to dominate us today. The “War for Independence” was basically a tax revolt engineered by the colo nial aristocracy, who then duped approximately one-third of the working class into believing that separation from Britain, and sepa ration from other working people called “loyalists,” had some advan tage for them. The truth is that very little changed when the United States was established. The autocratic power elite stayed in control of each colony, slavery con tinued, women remained secondclass citizens and the status of most white men was unchanged — most still couldn’t vote due to property qualifications, and the only rights they possessed were the ones they already had as British subjects. The manipulation, distortion and misrepresentation of our histo ry has its price. While we Ameri cans continue to cherish the notion that we are a democracy, we have a president not elected by a

majority of the people, but rather was appointed by his cronies on the Supreme Court. This presi dent-select then, as well as most members of our legislative branch, take orders from the multi-nation al corporations that dominate our national agenda with a priority of profits over people. And we Americans shrug our shoulders and continue to believe the myth that we have the best system there is — because our “history” tells us so. — Brian Walsh Colchester WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WORD MAKES In the “Question” column of July 4, “What does the Fourth of July mean to you?” a word may have been lost from Intern Danziger’s response. It seems more accurate to say, “Celebrating all the special freedoms Americans are guaranteed but other people in the world are still fighting (us) for.” — Edward Everts Charlotte DIRECTOR SAYS NICE JOB A great article by Susan Green [“Way Off Broadway,” July 4].

Odd, strange, curious and weird but true news items from every corner of the globe

Undercover Agents Colorado has outlawed alu minum underwear. Aimed at shoplifters who use “iron pants” to thwart stores’ anti-theft scan ners, the measure makes it a mis demeanor to make, wear or know others are wearing aluminum underwear for such deceptions. It also gives store employees immu nity if they stop shoppers who crackle when they walk. It does permit wearing aluminum briefs and lingerie for personal amuse ment, however. “This is serious business,” State Sen. Stephanie Takis, one of the bill’s sponsor, s^T. “We have laws against using crowbars as theft devices, but if you were lining your underwear with aluminum foil, that was not a crime.” • Also in Colorado, Pueblo inven tor Buck Weimer has patented stinkless underwear. Explaining he got the idea after suffering through his wife’s intestinal emis sions while trying to sleep, Weimer adapted a gas mask filter and sewed it into underwear that seals tightly around any openings. His “UnderEase” airtight under pants, which are available for men and women, sell for $25. Replacement filters are $5. • Dana Colwell, 31, was mowing the lawn at her home in Frankenmuth, Michigan, when a oneand-a-half-inch nail shot out from under the mower and punc tured her right breast. According to doctors, Colwell was spared from serious injury by the

Incendiary Device Twenty-six people were hospi talized in Oxford, England, after inhaling aluminum phosphide fumes during a fire that investiga tors blamed on a goldfish bowl. “It is an extremely unusual cause of fire — a million-to-one chance,” said assistant chief fire officer Lawrie Booth, explaining the bowl acted as a magnifying glass by concentrating the sun’s rays and setting fire to a garden shed containing the potentially noxious chemical, which was used to kill rats. The fumes were released from the aluminum phosphide tablets when firefight ers sprayed them with water.

that airborne dust from deserts can stop rain from falling — the exact opposite of what meteorolo gists believed. Although dust is essential to cloud formation by collecting water vapor in rising air, which then condenses on the particles, too much dust means that the moisture available is more widely distributed, causing only tiny droplets to form. They^ don’t weigh enough to fall as rain. Daniel Rosenfield of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University said these findings “may be crucially impor-

After the hospital staff was unable to remove the nut, officials called the fire department, which suc ceeded by using a ceramic blade circular saw with a metal spatula for protection and saline irriga tion to prevent heat injury. “The fire brigade’s experience in remov ing constricting metallic objects without causing soft tissue injury is well known,” the report said, adding that since the use of metal rings around the penis to prolong erection is apparently quite com mon and can lead to complica tions, “involving the fire brigade at an early stage can be invalu able.”

Dangers of Dust Tiny dust particles in the atmosphere could thwart the U.S. government’s $1.1 -billion effort to use airborne laser weapons to shoot down enemy missiles, according to Israeli academic Nathan Kopeika of Ben-Gurion University. He said engineers working on the Airborne Laser (ABL) project have overlooked the likelihood that the particles, called aerosols, could scatter and weaken the laser beam, rendering it ineffective against its target. “If they don’t take note of this prob lem,” Kopeika told New Scientist magazine, “they are in for a nasty surprise.” • Satellite observations suggest

Holiday Follies During a Father’s Day tribute to famous athletes, the ESPN cable network played as back ground music Marvin Gaye singing “How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You.” Gaye was shot to death by his father, Marvin Gay Sr., in 1984. “People who worked on the piece were not aware of the significance,” a network spokesperson said. “It’s unfortu nate.” • Shortly before the start of Vancouver’s Canada Day fire

When neighbors called the police, the men hid the fire works in the oven, then forgot about them.

The oven flew right through one of the walls.”

Next Time Send a Check Ghana’s sports minister, Mallam Yusuf Ali Issah, was dis missed after just 30 days on the job following the loss of $46,000 dollars that was intended for the national soccer team. The money disappeared while Issah was on his way to pay the team after a World Cup qualifying match against Sudan. He insisted he put the money in a small suitcase, which his assistant checked into the cargo hold of the aircraft. The government charged Issah with stealing the money, but he accused unnamed officials of the sports ministry of tampering with the case. ®

Diamond Solitaire Necklace. ACTS TO FOLLOW: Route 7 may be the slow road south, but it’s fast •becoming the happening cultural corridor between Burlington and Middlebury. Along with restaurants and galleries, two new theater com panies have popped up in the past few months. The Middlebury Actors 'Workshop is a sextet of professional players who "have ended up here for whatever reason,” says member Je a n n e RogOW. Weybridge-based Melissa Lourie actually put the new ensemble together, recruiting. Stephen O’Dwyer, Steve Small, Shannon Bohier-Small and Harry McEnemy to collaborate on spare, contemporary works. Their first endeavor this weekend is an evening of six 10-minute plays that includes a quickie, entitled Helen at Risk, by Middlebury playwright Dana Yeaton. The group was scheduled to play the Middlebury Town Hall, but the buildings persistent “bat problem” sent them down the road — yes, that’s 7 again — to the A.R.T. Studio Theater at the Hannaford Career Center on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights . . . The Charlotte Town Players may not be professional or cutting-edge, but they’ve already sold out their first two shows. “We wanted to bring the commu nity together with theater,” says Elizabeth Bluemle, who is directing the musical Free to Be You and Afewith artist Summ Tekin and Laura Boyden. Between the 50-member cast and their fawning families, it’s hard to imagine anyone in Charlotte won’t be playing some part in the show, Thursday and Friday nights in Lynn and CliFt Alpeter’s barn. Theater doesn’t get much more local than that. SHEPARD. WATCH: Like all obedient Franklin County boys, Joe Shepard played hockey before he took up dance. A couple of Lyric Theater shows later, he was shipped off to an out-of-state performing arts high school. Gymnastics and circus training also readied him for his regular role in Hoi Polloi, a Boston-based dance company headed for Burlington next week via Jacob’s Pillow. “His athletic sensibility com bined with a fantastic sense of humor make him my number-one — and only — male dancer,” says founder and choreographer Sara Sweet RabidOUX. She combines sports and storytelling to make dances that crit ic Suzanne Carbonneau describes as “smart, sassy, madcap, poignant.” Rabidoux also has Queen City connections. As a child, she spent sum mers in Burlington with her sign-painter dad, who managed a nowdefunct disco called The Old Board. Check out the homies next Friday in the FlynnSpace. IN BRIEF: The Peace and Justice Store in Burlington may be a bastion of anti-capitalist commerce, but it’s cashing in with the “Thanks, Jim” bumper sticker. Co-manager Kathy Bouton came up with the idea —and shrewdly placed her order — hours after Senator Jim Jeffords left the Republican party. In seven weeks, the store has sold 1000 stickers, suggesting Vermonters aren’t the only Americans who appreciate an indie spirit. Blues artist Marcia Ball came in the morning after her perfor mance at the Discover Jazz Festival and bought five, noting one was des tined for political satirist and author Molly Ivins. Stickers have also gone out to Garrison Keillor, Hillary Clinton and Sharon Stone. Another thousand are due in this week . . . Vermont is not known for its barbe cue, but that didn’t stop TV’s Food Network from hauling north for pulled pork at the River Run Cafe in Plainfield. Owned by Southernraised Jimmy Kannedy and his wife Maya, the Central Vermont eatery excels in the art of preparing pork products. The “barbecue special” dedi cated about eight minutes to the restaurant, according to spokesman Ian Anderson, as well as its new cookbook and line of nationally distributed sauces. Sounds like the flavor came through on television. Along with the company “Airstream” trailer, the show caught a customer playing “The Burnt Bacon Blues” on harmonica. Missed the first serving last Sunday? The network is serving up seconds Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. . . . Governor Howard Dean has issued a proclama tion declaring August “New Music Month” in anticipation of the twoday Ought-One Festival. As far as we’re concerned, any event that bills itself as “the Woodstock of Nonpop” deserves a gubernatorial pat on the back. Composer Dennis Bathory-KitSZ is behind the harmonic conver gence of plunderphonics, acousmatics and algorithmics that will take place in Montpelier the last weekend in August. The event, which fea tures more than a dozen concerts, will “encompass all of the music that is not incorporated in the common meta-genres like pop, jazz and classi cal,” Bathory-Kitsz explains — even music for toy pianos. Look for Synclavier pioneer Jon Appleton — “scratching” in an orange hazmat suit — along with the Vermont Youth Orchestra performing all new pieces. Does Dean know what he’s in for? Bathory-Kitsz imagines “he was probably happy to see something come across his desk that is not going to get him in trouble for a change” . . .

B y Nat W inthrop n the Saturday before Memorial Day, a lot of war — make that anti-war — sto ries were being swapped in the kitchen of bakers Jules and Helen Rabin in Plainfield. The table was crowd ed with senior activists: Peter and Elka Schumann of Bread and Puppet Theater, award-winning author Grace Paley and her husband Bob Nichols, and iconoclastic activist and author Dave Dellinger and his wife Elizabeth Peterson. The eight elder warriors reminisced well into the night about their respective lives — “talking of old times, as old people do,” as Peter Schumann put it. The “old times,” in this case, were the early ’60s in New York City’s Greenwich Village — ground zero for the artistic and political energy that contrasted starkly with the conformity and complacency of the white-bread ’50s. It was the time of civil rights protests and ban-the-bomb movements, of the Beat poets, of Bob Dylan and Merce Cunningham. Along with thousands of other restless, creative souls, activists like Dellinger and free-spir ited artists like Paley, the Schumanns and Rabins were drawn to the Village. But these eight individuals have shared more than a lifelong commitment to peace, social justice and human rights; they all ended up in Vermont. Paley first b rought the group together socially after she joined Nichols in Thetford in the mid’80s. Over the next several years, the activist octet assembled for dinner at least annually, catching up and getting to know each other’s families. But the gathering this May was their first encounter in more than five years. There was a lot o f ground to cover. Jules Rabin recounted tales of his 8000-mile 1962 disarmament march across North America and Europe. Paley spoke of meeting her husband the previ ous year at the first meeting of the

co m pany Vermont's oldest activists are still talking 'bout a revolution Greenwich Village Peace Center. She also remembered inviting Dellinger to speak before that group. He was then the editor of Liberation magazine, which chronicled the activities of the peace movement. Activists read it to keep up with meetings and demonstrations past and future. Peter Schumann recalled performing his “Dance of Death” at the Living Theater as part of a General Strike for Peace in the winter o f ’61-’62. It was his earliest foray into American politics. He met Paley and Nichols soon thereafter, and noted it was anti-Vietnam War activities that forged close bonds among the eight. The Rabins helped Schumann trans port puppets to the 1967 March on the Pentagon, which Dellinger organized, and which all four couples attended. Later, in 1969, Dellinger recruited Paley as an emissary of the peace movement to travel to North Vietnam and bring back three prisoners of war. Though Dellinger was diagnosed with

july 18,2001

Alzheimer’s disease almost a year ago, Schumann insisted, “Dave has a very good memory, better than almost everybody, so he was correcting everybody.” Dellinger and Jules Rabin were both teaching at Goddard College when the lat ter helped recruit Schumann and company as artists-in-residence. At the time, Schumann and his growing family were eager to trade in their urban lifestyle for a simpler one in Vermont. Like the other three couples, the Schumanns were deeply moved by the teachings of Scott and Helen Nearing, who wrote the bible for the back-to-the-land movement of the ’60s and ’70s. Living the Good Life, originally published in 1954, is a how-to manual documenting the Nearings’ two decades of subsistence homesteading in Jamaica, Vermont. Scott Nearing was 70 at the time; he lived to be 100. “We were seeking an affirmation, a way of conducting ourselves, of looking at the world and taking part in its activities .

that would provide at least a minimum of those values we considered essential to the good life,” wrote the Nearings. “As we saw it, such values must include: simplicity, freedom from anxiety or tension, an opportunity to be useful and live harmo niously.” They termed this way of living “bread labor.” The Schumanns had a blood connec tion to the Nearings, too. Scott was a wellknown socialist writer and orator before he met his second wife, Helen, at the out break of the Great Depression. John, his son by his first marriage, initially followed in his fathers leftist footsteps. But after experiencing Stalinism first-hand while working as an engineer in a Soviet steel mill in the 1930s, he became a Republican. He officially replaced his last name with his middle name, Scott, to dis associate himself from his famous father. While still in the Soviet Union, John Scott and his Russian-born wife gave birth to a daughter, Elka — the same Elka Scott

who later married Peter Schumann. The young couple shared more beliefs and val ues with Elka’s grandfather than her father. “When I was a teenager, I was very much influenced by Scott’s ideas, political and vegetarianism — I became a vegetari an — and I loved visiting them, asking Scott questions about the world and about political systems and all that,” remem bered Elka. Visiting her grandparents’ Vermont homestead while a student at Bryn Mawr College provided a refreshing contrast to the stultifying academic atmos phere of the 1950s. “There’d be these dynamic old folks in their sixties and seventies, people who’d walk across the United States for peace demonstrating against nuclear weapons, and old-time radicals talking about demonstrations and things in the ’30s, and there was just such a liveliness,” Elka explained. She and Peter have in turn become role models for generations who never heard of her grandfather.

eter Schumann still shares Scott Nearing’s anti-capitalist world view. He has forsaken potential commercial exploitation of his art, refusing corporate, government, media and even most foun dation funding as tainted money. Bread and Puppet relies instead on a live-off-theland ethic, small donations, fees for per forming and sales of prints, pamphlets and calendars. Schumann was raised in Nazi Germany and fled with his family in 1944 just before the invading Russian army burned their village. After attending art school, he met Elka while performing street theater in Munich in 1958. Three years later they emigrated, with two chil dren in tow, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. There, the couple gave birth to Bread and Puppet and three more kids. They moved to Plainfield in 1970 and, four years later, to Elka’s parents’ farm house in Glover. They never left. Bread and Puppet’s world-famous pup petry features oversized, often grotesque masks depicting the full range of hum ani ty, from washer women to generals and mythic figures, as well as sometimes comi cal, sometimes beautiful specimens from the bird and animal kingdoms. Its pag eants are steeped in timeless moral and religious themes of good versus evil, man versus nature, and the triumph of lifeaffirming human instincts in the face of plague, flood, pestilence and death. Contemporary socio-political motifs also permeate Schumann’s performances. Case in point: this summer’s revival of “Fire,” a ’60s pageant referring to napalm and the Vietnamese monks who torched them selves with gasoline in protest. Schumann’s belief in the symbolic importance of baking bread explains the company’s name — bread being substan tial and nourishing, as art ought to be. That philosophy also influenced the Rabins to become bakers, though with some variations. “Jules wants to make fancy French breads, and I make very old-fashioned, mountain-people bread — the kind I learned from my mother, and my mother learned from Salisian peasants, typical bread of Russia, Poland, eastern parts of Germany, and the Alps,” Schumann explained.

He is the absolute master of especially nurturing of young mothers in his theater,” explained Jules. “This is harsh talk about somebody who I admire a lot and care about. But anyway, that’s why I stopped collaborating.” Their respective children picked up where their parents left off. The Rabin kids participated in Bread and Puppet cir cuses and parades growing up, and still do. Over the past year, Schumann daughters Tamar and Maria have performed an experimental theater piece with Nessa Rabin throughout Vermont. The annual circus also brought the Schumanns back together with Dellinger and Peterson, who began to make the annual pilgrimage to Glover each August after moving to Vermont in the mid-’70s. “We got to know Elka and Peter by going and introducing ourselves there and work ing in the bread shop,” explained r Dellinger. Soon he and Peterson were join ing the Schumanns for dinner when the Nearings came to visit. The couples also saw each other at protests in Vermont, just like the old days in New York. “Naturally, Dave got involved with Vermont political activities, and so when we’d go to do something in front of the Statehouse, he would also be there,” Peter remembered. “So you had to run into him all over the place. He’s in everything.”

avid Dellinger and Elizabeth Peterson met at a Christian student peace conference in 1941 as America entered World War II. Peterson was preg nant with their first child when her hus band was jailed as a draft resister. He went on a hunger strike protesting prison segregation and censorship. Much later, he achieved notoriety during the Chicago 7 trial, resulting from violent protests outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. As chair of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War, Dellinger is credited by histori ans with uniting disparate factions into the mass movement that forced President Richard Nixon to scale down, and even tually end, American presence in Vietnam. Ironically, perhaps, the couple’s private life mirrored the double standard held by so many activists in the ’60s. Dellinger would go off to fight the good fight — often for months at a stretch — leaving Peterson at home to take care of the kids and household, even as she worked and attended school. “I had a deep sense of being deserted, and I had terrible nightmares for years about David happily waving me goodbye and leaving me at home,” Peterson recalled. “But it wasn’t until much, much later that I got in touch with my anger. So

the anti-war movement. “W hat happens at home is very important,” she said. Elka Schumann remembered Paley coming to a women’s consciousness group she and other young mothers attended in the ’60s. “Grace would come, and it was always wonderful; she had so much more perspective than us young mothers,” Shumann said. “She had gone through the child-rearing years and was such an active and prominent person in the bigger world.” Paley opposed war because it was bad for women and children. “And she wasn’t like some super-human being who man aged all these things,” added Schumann. “She just did what she could where she was at each step of her life.” Paley grew up in the Bronx — where her young socialist parents ended up after fleeing pre-revolutionary Russia. She and Nichols found each other at a peace center meeting in 1961. Now the couple lives in his childhood home, a farmhouse on a Thetford mountaintop. Paley appears to be the glue that keeps this gang of eight together. Her friends say she was also an unusually loving force for unity in the peace community in New York. “When Grace was there, she had a very good influence,” remembered Peter Schumann. “She would be able to talk leisurely with the same [police] who were

diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, and refuses to significantly slow his endless rounds of protest and travel. He went to Canada to protest corporate globalization and the proposed expansion of Free Trade Area of the Americas. So did his 25-year-old grandson Seth, though in the large crowds and confusion, the two never found each other. “We all need each other, people in dif ferent generations,” said Dellinger. “I learn more from young people than they learn from me.” Schumann is als6 encouraged by the recent resurgence o f youthful political protest, as manifested in Quebec City and Seattle. This summer he’s hosting a •workshop —- called “Radical Cheese About the Asphaltization o f a Small Planet” — for young radicals opposed to corporate globalization. As always, he will teach the use of large puppets and masks in demonstrations and marches, encouraging protesters to steal his ideas. “You can’t live with this Society in the direction it’s going,” Schumann said. “You must try to live against it, in whatever possible way.” . .

porting white sus penders with a pattern of black musical notes, Sterling Weed perches on the arm of an easy chair and modestly sums up his extraor dinary life: “I think things went real well.” To say the least. In an American century that witnessed Rudy Vallee, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and The Beatles, this show biz icon from St. Albans has managed to outlast them all. Weed, who will celebrate his 100th birthday this Friday, is a Vermont legend thought to be the oldest active band leader in the country.

Versatile on several wind instruments, particularly the saxophone, since childhood, Weed is a bit more stooped these days. But diminished eyesight and hearing don’t deter him from the work he loves: performing swing tunes with Weed s Imperial Orchestra for listeners inclined to dance. “The band is made up of some serious senior citizens sometimes playing out of tune, but everybody has a great time,” suggests Rick Norcross, who has regularly hired Weed for the annual Green Mountain Chew Chew festival in Burlington. “At 100, I wouldn’t even dare

order a pizza. Sterling’s the wicked coolest guy around.” Weed demurs. “I’m doing pretty good for a young fella,” quips the bald, bespectacled centenarian. When he was still chrono logically young, Weed began to make his mark in a rural Franklin County enclave where nobody yet owned an automobile and a trip by train to Burlington was con sidered ah astonishing feat. The Weeds operated a dairy farm but played together after hours on violin, trumpet, piano, organ, accordion, trombone and drums. Baxter and Henrietta Weed and their three sons — Lorenzo, Ora

family — constituted the Weed Orchestra,'which provided grange-hall meetings with the square dance numbers then pop ular in the agricultural commu nity. “I got going with them in about 1912,” Weed recalls. “I started off on piano, but Lorenzo was also head of the St. Albans City Band and he wanted me to replace a piccolo player who had left town. Then he convinced me to try the flute.” This was around the same

“ I’m doing r, pretty good for a young fe lla .” ; — ■Bandleader Sterling Wee 'a period that the youngest brother traveled south to take music les sons in the Queen City every Saturday morning after his farm chores. When he returned, peo ple would gather around him with questions. “They’d ask me, ‘W hat’s it like down there?”’ Weed recalls. “‘Do they have hotels?’ Yeah. ‘Stores?’ Yeah. ‘Electric cars?’ Yeah.” Weed was 17 when World War I broke out. It was a sorrow ful era. “Every Wednesday night, the St. Albans City Band would march down to the train station because we were sending 32 boys to fight,” he says. “Everyone came to see them off. The last time we marched, we had only eight people left in the band, out of 45 or 50. Most of those who went did not come back. We got an awful licking.” Weed’s own date with destiny was imminent. “O ur soldiers were being slaughtered, so the government began taking kids out of school,” he says. “I was called up and examined and found to be A-number one. I got ready to go. Three days before I was supposed to leave, the war ended.” In 1921 Henrietta passed away. W ith the two older broth ers already married and living on their own farm, Weed and his father sold the herd before mov ing to an apartment in town and getting jobs. Baxter became a field manager for a food packag ing company. Sterling was recruited by Hollywood, so to speak; he played flute with a small combo that accompanied silent films at the Empire Theater. “I was making $30 a week,” he says. “Those were the highest salaries in the city. Then the talkies came.” Norcross is amused by Weed’s recollection. “Most musicians worry about disco or karaoke,” he says. “Sterling lost his job because they invented the talking pictures.” • Weed found other work — as a mechanic, in a grocery store, on the railroad. His creative side was nurtured by a four-year stint with Sault’s Orchestra, for which

he was persuaded to pick up a sax for the first time5“I ordered , it from a catalogue,” he explains. “It came on a Wednesday, and by Friday night I was playing it at a dance.” After being laid off from his day job during the Depression, ; Weed decided it would be a good idea to learn how to tune and repair pianos for a living. He enrolled in a three-year program at Polk College in Indiana, his first venture outside Vermont. In addition to his studies, he joined an orchestra that kept him out at least three nights a week at dances throughout the state. After graduation in 1932, Weed was back home when his brothers asked him to take over the management responsibilities for the Orchestra. He did, but thought the group’s name was too plain. “I wanted to dress it up,” he says. “I found the word ‘imperial’ in the dictionary and it sounded good, but I had to look up the definition: ‘Something that’s special.’” The line-up was something special back then, too. AfricanAmerican drummer Leroy Satchel gave Weed’s orchestra the distinction of being one of the earliest racially integrated ensem bles in Vermont. Satchel had long been a member of the St. Albans Brigade Band, which took a courageous stand in 1919. When the drummer was refused service at a Burlington restau rant, the whole band walked out of the place in solidarity, saying: “If you don’t feed him, you don’t feed us.”

• o n the 1930s, the six-piece Weed’s Imperial Orchestra played almost every night of the week, and had a steady date Sunday evenings aboard the Ticonderoga — the steamboat currently beached at the Shelburne Museum. Now 82, Blanche Bates was a Barre adoles cent with three older sisters who dragged her along to these swing dances, which were then the highlight of teen social life in the area. Too shy to jitterbug, she does remember summoning up the nerve to “wink at boys.” Three of Bates’ fellow resi dents at the Burlington Health and Rehabilitation Center on Pearl Street also have fond mem ories of Weed’s music. Jack Guilbault, now 70, often saw the group while in high school. Dick Guest, 90, had a band that often performed on the same bill as the Imperial Orchestra. And Pauline Francis, who turns 75 just two days before Weed observes his 100th this week, was only 15 when she “had a big crush” on the bandleader. “I thought he was sharp-looking,” Francis says. “Everybody loved his music. There was always a long line waiting to get in. That was the thing to do.” Weed was too busy in those days to pay much heed to the swooning o f bobbysoxers. For one thing, he was no longer a single man in 1933. The mar riage to his first wife, Leona, last ed more than three decades, until her death in the late 1960s. He

B y J eremy K ent here’s something exhilarat ing about swimming in rivers. They can be danger ous, for one thing — underwater currents and eddies have lured more than a few swimmers to their deaths in Vermont, and div ing into too-shallow water never leads to a good end. But risk has more to do with the judgment of swimmers than the water itself. Rivers are simply more interest ing than the other options: They’re chilly and offer more zing than, say, chemically nasty backyard pools. Flowing rivers are cleaner than lakes, which can greet a swimmer with fecal coliform and leg-grabbing weeds. And anyone who’s swum in a pond knows that bloodsucking leeches aren’t the kind of compa ny most people look for in a swimming spot. Rivers and gorges can be harder to locate in Vermont’s leafy landscape, but they’re usual ly as pristine as nature gets these days, and are well worth the search and any inconveniences. Here, then, are a few suggestions to help you rejuvenate in the dog days of summer.

Falls of Lana

An intense look at eroticism in P icasso 's work. Se le cte d paintings, sculpture and works on paper unveil an intimate portrait of the master's imagination. See it in Montreal, the only North Am erican venue.

Many of the best swimming holes involve a river that changes elevation. An incline in the land creates waterfalls and pools. The * Falls of Lana near Branbury State Park is a perfect example. With its appealing small coves and switchback falls, it’s no wonder so many foot trails surround this spot near Middlebury. A paved parking area and well-trodden path make finding the Falls of Lana a cinch. Pack a pair of sneakers and snack, as the place offers picnic perches along with its hidden falls. Drawbacks-. Let the old name, Sucker Brook Falls, remind you not to take the danger of this spot lightly. The falls and pools can appear gentle, but should be respected.

Directions: From Route 7 in Salisbury (just south o f Middle bury), take Route 53 about four miles to the Falls o f Lana. The parking lot is ju st past Branbury State Park. The Falls are a quar ter-mile up the main trail.

Warren Falls Some river stretches seem to be divinely designed for summer swims. Warren Falls, with its combination of four waterfalls and a set of pools, is one such place. Scattered hemlock and rock slabs sloping smoothly toward the swimming area give the locale a positive feng shui. Summer guides often mention

mini the lower pool, where dog own ers can let their furry friends play on the nearby rocky beach. Check out the eastside rocks for late-day sun rays. Drawbacks-. There isn’t much to dislike about Warren Falls except occasional heavy crowds. As with all places, check the waters depth before leaping off the rocks. Directions: From the center o f Warren village, travel south on Route 100 for three miles. Look for a sign on the right that reads 43rd Infantry Division Memorial Highway. Pull into this lot and follow the path hearing right to fin d the falls.

Huntington Gorge In the parking area for this infamous spot, a memorial sign stands as a sobering reminder of what the Huntington River can

nn& Lippcy G ift Shop • Irish Shop • Christmas Shop do. Indeed, most people can recall a story about some tragedy at the Huntington Gorge over the past few decades. Aggressive rapids through narrow channels and hidden currents beneath the surface make it a place you should only visit during dryer seasons. Why include it in the list? Beauty and adventure. Right now, the Gorge is a premiere summer swimming hole — large waterfalls, open bowls and generally warm tides, all surrounded by smooth, water-polished stone. After scaling around near the rapids, you can lie on your back and take a lazy float downstream. Drawbacks-. The gorge can be crowded, but there’s lots of room. All the aforementioned dangers should be taken seri ously; someone more athletic and daring than you has already died at the Huntington Gorge. Small children and loners might choose another spot for their summer splashing. Directions: Take Route 2 to Richmond center. Turn on Bridge Street (right i f coming from Burlington). After "the bridge, follow Huntington Roadfo r a few miles. Take a left onto Dugway Road and fo l low until you see a memorial sign and parking area on the right side o f the road.

Bolton Potholes Like the famed Falls of Lana, this spot offers a twist on the swimming experience. Joiner Brook’s sharp change in altitude from the top to the bottom of the swimming area creates pools at several elevations. Like a nightclub with different music from level to level, each “table” at this Bolton spot is unique. The layout and open sky

HIf you’re o l leaving e town H iforna country t s swimming hole, don’t leave your common sense behind. • Bring what you’d typically take to the beach — minus, perhaps, the foldable lawn chairs — but add the bug spray. • Follow the same etiquette that’s expected of you when hiking and camping: Respect the land and the people around you. • Leave your valuables in a locked car. • Beware of jagged rocks and broken glass — and don’t be surprised if you spot the occasional big-bellied skinny-dipper. Vermont is full of independent spirits. • Rushing rivers have minds of their own, so respect that power. If you see “danger” or “warning” signs, believe them. The buddy system is relevant here. Besides, what fun is going swimming by yourself? PHOTOS: MATTHEW TH0RSEN

above give the area the feel of a natural spa. Giant boulders and slabs provide spots for sunbathing and watching the cool waters. Easy access and plenty of parking make this swim hole a popular one. Drawbacks-. Crowds, visible power line and audible traffic may take away from the expe rience for some. These pools aren’t that deep, so an initial investigation and low-eleva tion jumps are both highly recommended. High divers and snorkelers need not apply. Directions: Take Route 2 to the Bolton Valley Road (south o f Richmond center, about seven miles north o f Waterbury). Find parking about a quartermile up the road on the right.

Bingham Falls You might want to con sider rolling up your car win dows and cranking the heat during the drive to this place. Bingham Falls in the West Branch Waterbury River is easily one of the most stunning swimming spots in Vermont, but it is also one of the coldest. The quick hike through the forest and out-of-the-way location are small costs for a visit to this grand set of pools and falls. The lower swimming area offers the most sunlight, a 12-foot waterfall and a deep, cool lagoon with sur rounding rocks for an after noon nap. Drawbacks-. A large, paved parking area proves the popu larity of this place. Pick a time and day when you think you might find some privacy. Fridge-o-phobics need not bother. The chilly, mountainfed pools will make your ankles ache as you stand at the river’s edge and contem plate your shivery fate. Directions: Follow Route 108 from Jeffersonville over the notch. As you head down the south side o f the mountain, Bingham Falls is on the left. The parking area is a little more than 10 miles from Jeffersonville, and about a mile past the toll road in Stowe.

B y J eanne K eller o call Montreal’s gay and lesbian culture “vibrant” is an understatement. Already an internationally recognized %. queer tourist destination and home to one o f the liveliest gay ghettos in North America — called The Village — Montreal was the first jurisdiction in North America to legal ly recognize same-sex 7 partnerships, on both 1 federal and provincial ^ government levels. 1 Raising the bar for inclusion, Montreal is now making a serious bid to host the interna- ^ tional Gay Games in ^ 2006. In their proposal, the Rendez-Vous •1 Montreal committee notes that the dates would coincide with those of Divers-Cite, the city’s annual Pride celebration. Hence, to back up their bid, the organizers have invited the Games selection com mittee — and everyone else in the world — to participate in Divers-Cite. next month. . Divers-Cite. The play on words connotes so much: the city-wide nature o f the annual celebration, community support. and service, the focus on toler ance, not to mention the sly Quebec wit,and joie de vivre behind the event. Since it began in 1992, Divers-Cite has grown exponentially; last year’s events attracted more than one million people, including 600,000 spec tators and parade participants. The huge crowds and interna tional attention have resulted in another growth spurt: up from one weekend, Montreal can be “proud” for 10 whole days this year, July 28 through August 6. The main-events venue has been expanded as well. The schedule o f daily events and performances includes far more than can be described here. There’s a great mix of club musi cal events, drag performances, ; dance parties and big stage per formances “for Boyz, Girlz and Queenz.” The outdoor events, featuring cabaret, dancers, Cuban musicians and house and techno deejays, will be held in fimileGamelin Park at Berri and SteCatherine.

These wonderful artisans exhibit under large medieval-style tents in the idyllic mountain setting. Craftproducers’ unique Vermont-grown festivals - a 27-year tradition - are truly a feast for the senses. This is especially true this year, as the Festival will include daily culinary and wine tastings, in addition to its cornucopia offerings of regional specialty foods and the music of Virtual Consort (see sidebars). With free admission to young people through age 17, many families make a day of the scenic drive to the Stowe Summer Art & Craft Festival and recreating using Stowe’s walking and bike paths, Alpine slide, Helen Day Art Center; and the sweet river nearby is especially delightful for canoeing and kayaking. 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 you at Topnotch Field in Stowe this week end. Call the Stowe Area Association (802-253-7321) or check out our Web site www.craftproducers.com - for more information. Though the artists and craftspeople exhibiting at the Stowe festival come from through out 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.

House In the Woods - Michael Cummings "It all started right there," gestures Michael Cummings, pointing to a small workbench in the corner of his shop - a large vice in one corner, the surface completely obscured with layers of carving tools and sandpaper. "Ever since I was a kid, I've always been building things. My first woodworking project in school was a carved spoon, I think it took four to five weeks to make, but I like that feel ing you get when you've created something out of nothing. More projects followed, everything from a 12-string guitar to a 15-foot canoe, experi menting, trying to find his niche. "I always remembered that first spoon, simple, functional," Michael continues. "I discovered the Shakers and have been a student of their work ever since. They proved that being simple and functional doesn’t mean artless and crude. I hope my work evokes the same clean timeless forms." "I love it here in Vermont; it’s quiet, my nearest neighbor is half a mile away. I can cross-country ski directly from my shop door out into the national forest in winter, bike the old back roads in the summer. It suits me. I was born to do this work, I can’t imagine what else I would want to do."

Roy Newton Grand Isle printmaker Roy Newton has degrees in illustration, graphic design and filmmaking from the Manchester [England] College of Art. He was staff artist for North By Northeast magazine and his illustrations have appeared in Friends Journal, Vermont Vanguard Press, Vermont Life, National Gardening, Seven Days and Current. Roy has illustrated several books arid in 1991 he designed the town seal for Grand Isle, Vermont. Roys hand-made printwork includes woodblock and linoblock prints, etchings, silkscreen prints, lithographs from stone, monoprints, and mixed media prints. He derives much of his inspiration from Vermont’s constantly changing natural beauty. "My filmmaking background was in documentary films, and I’m very interested in docu menting parts of Vermont that are disappearing - country stores, farmstands, farms, town meetings and landscapes," says Roy. "I try to get the feeling of the seasons and the beauty of Lake Champlain, with its changes of light and color. I’ve been influenced a lot by European printmakers. "My other main interest is jazz and blues musicians. Most of my prints of these were done from my sketches at live performances," he explains. - "I put their CDs on, and then impro vise from reference photographs to finish with impressionistic renderings." Newtons work is on display at the Red Onion Cafe on Church Street in Burlington, where he is resident artist, and at the Parade Gallery in Warren. In Grand Isle, his work can be seen at Margo’s Cafe and also at The Black Cat Gallery. He demonstrates his craft at all Craftproducers Festivals.

OriGems - Giffen Douglas Grosvenor Giffen Douglas Grosvenor began his career as a gem cutter and jewelry designer in 1975. After fulfilling his education as a lapidariast/gemologist, Giffen began his journeys to explore the origins of the best gem rough material in the world, deep into the mountains and jungles of Brazil and Bolivia. After learning the mining trade by living part-time in South America, his career contin ued to evolve into ownership of several investment mines in Emerald, Aquamarine and Tourmaline. During his years of travels, Giffen was fortunate to study under some premier gold designers in Brazil and Europe. This exposure manifests itself in the assortment of gemstone designs found in his showcases today. His designs are completely original because they evolve from the unique qualities shape, color and texture - of the rough itself. Giffen feels the energy of the rough he facets. He follows the inherent lines and creates 14/18K gold designs that complement the finished faceted gemstone. "Each of my finished creations is truly a one-of-a-kind collection piece that can not and will not be found elsewhere," Giffen explains. Thus, the name of his company: OriGems -- Original Gemstone Designs. Giffen Grosvenor continues to travel, mostly throughout the United States and Europe. His work can be found at select Fine Art Shows, or at the OriGems Gallery, located at 580 Mountain Rd in Stowe, where Grosvenor can be observed in the act of faceting, designing and casting, turning rock into jewel, preserving what is fast becoming the lost art of gem cutting and wax design.

The Herb Ghed - Sandy & Kirby Beardsley For Sandy and Kirby Beardsley, a regional husband and wife team of herbalists and vine gar makers, it all started at the Stowe farmers market in 1992. "It was the first year for the market, and we did so well we knew it was a product the public liked and wanted to buy," says Kirby. "We realized that we could make our living this way." And so they have, with the growing popularity of gourmet vinegars as a sta ple in many a chef’s kitchen, and as gifts as well. The bottles of herbal vinegars, as well as one fine grade of balsamic, come in an assortment of flavors: Hot Pepper, Garlic and Dill, Sun-dried Tomato and Basil, Italian Style, Sundried Tomato and Garlic, and Lemon, Garlic and Dill. And the bottles are eye-appealing. One of their most unique items, the Wave Collection, is a group of five curved bottles that fit together. The combination of the thick shaped glassware and the variety of colorful herb flavored vinegars is dazzlingly beautiful. The waves can be purchased as a set or as add-on items. These delectable gourmet enhancers are healthy and fun to cook with, jazzing up any many course - truly a delectable treat full of the fragrant aromatic flavors of Vermont at its best. Address, email and phone numbers of all Craftproducers exhibitors can be found in the festival program. Additional information is available on their website: www.craftproducers.com.

Vermont 2 0 /2 0 ^ or 20 years, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters’ focus has been on creatirig some of the world's best coffees. To celebrate this milestone, the company commissioned 20 Vermont artists and crafts people whose diverse work personifies their passion for living in Vermont. The collection debuted at New York City's Metropolitan Pavilion on October, 2000. It is now exhibiting on a year-long tour, which includes this weekend in Stowe. After the tour ends, the individual pieces will be sold at auction on Saturday August 4th at the Southern Vermont Art and Craft Festival at Hildene Meadows in Manchester, Vermont. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to charity. Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the charity chosen by each artist. The remaining fifty percent will be split evenly between the two charities that Green Mountain Coffee has chosen: the Vermont Audubon Society and Coffee Kids. ,?

Stowe Summer Food & Wine Tastings Friday, Saturday and Sunday July 2 0 -2 2 11:00 am* Tasting Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Coffee In the beautiful mountains of Vermont, time is measured more by change of seasons than the tick of a clock, and a faster way of doing things is not always a better way. It’s here you'll enjoy Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Green Mountain Coffee is dedicated to pro viding the richest aroma and flavor, for the highest quality coffee experience. They travel the globe to purchase the finest coffees, small batch roast them to peak flavor, and vacuum package them fresh for your enjoyment. They take their time. . . and taking their time has its own reward. . .perfect coffee. In 1981, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters hung its shingle on the front of a small cafe in Waitsfield, Vermont. This cafe formed the base of operations for what was to become one of the nation's leading specialty coffee companies. The demand for high-quality, freshly roasted coffee soon grew beyond the cafe's walls. Restaurants and inns in the area asked for coffee and equipment. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters was soon in the wholesale business to satisfy the growing demand for specialty coffee throughout the United States and Canada. 12:00 noon* River Run Restaurant Barbeque Demonstration (different menu each day) Called "the best place on earth" by Pulitzer Prize winner and frequent patron David Mamet, River Run is a mixture of great southern cooking, which Jimmy Kennedy learned from his mother growing up in Tupelo, Mississippi, and northern hospitality, dished out by Maya Kennedy. Located in the heart of sleepy Plainfield, Vermont for a decade, River Run is perched a tad precariously on the banks of the Winooski River, in a leaning, creaking building that through the years was the town barbershop, post office and speakeasy. River Run’s cooking sauces have been used for years at the restaurant. They started bot tling them for a few persistent customers who wanted to use them while cooking at home. And then they wanted to ship some to some friends in places far, so far away that would not be able to come and eat at River Run. River Run sauces are all natural, vegetarian and use fresh ingredients. In fact, their Hush

Your Mouth Hot Sauce uses three types of fresh peppers and the Breakfastlunchanddinner Garlic Sauce is cooked with fresh garlic cloves (no garlic powder, no garlic extract, etc.). And fresh green tomatoes form the base for their Don’t Be Shy Green Tomato Sauce. Whether used when cooking dinner or simply to "top off" your eggs and home fries, River Run’s sauces feed your soul. 1:00 pm How to Taste Wine with Charley Dooley Craftproducers founder and wine aficionado Charley Dooley presents a mouth-watering variety of domestic and European wines selected for great summer drinking. Eight tastings are priced at a modest $15. "Bring your mouth and nose, and we’ll supply the wine and the glasses," says Charley. 2:00 pm* Vegetarian Cooking Demonstrations by Mary Kamm (different menu daily) Mary Kamm became a vegetarian in college. She has an undergraduate degree in Food Science and a Master's degree in Holistic Nutrition. Mary helped put herself through col lege by working in local restaurants. After college she worked in the food industry and gained experience in chocolate making, spices, and vegetable processing. Mary has also developed new ice cream flavors for Ben and Jerry's. She and her husband now own Stowe’s Burgundy Rose Motor Inn, and Mary spends her time cooking guests breakfasts and serving afternoon tea. In her spare time, she enjoys teaching vegetarian cooking classes at the inn. Her vegetarian seminars this weekend include "Tofu to The Rescue;" "Tempting Tempeh" (Tempeh Reuben Sandwiches, Tempeh Cacciatore); and "The International Vegetarian" (Sweet Potato Quesadillas, Portabello Mushroom Stroganoff, and Vegetarian Bangers n Mash). 3:00 pm* Grilling Techniques by Chef Cheryl Robbins Dooley (different menu daily) Summertime is outdoor grilling and dining. Chef Cheryl Robbins Dooley will demon strate grilling techniques with meat, seafood, and vegetables. After these seminars, you will be confident to invite friends over for your own version of a grilled feast. *A11 food tastings are free.

R e c ip e s from The R iv e r Run C o o k b o o k •

fchile there’s not much you can’t do with River Run sauces, and even less that they don’t go well with, sometimes even the most creative cooks need a little inspiration. This W W recipe is taken from Jimmy’s secret stash of crumpled up pieces of paper hidden around the River Run kitchen. Each one of their recipes was raised, nurtured and perfected in our restaurant in Plainfield.

Chef Josh Grinker, who used to cook at River Run, developed this rub. It works well on all kinds of food: pork, chicken, fish, beef, even tofu. This recipe makes enough so you can have some on hand in your spice rack It’s a necessary part of all our BBQ recipes but also makes a great addition to Meat Loaf, Soup, or anything else that needs some spicing up. Keep it in a covered container in a cool, dry place and it will last indefinitely. 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 2, tablespoons light or dark brown sugar 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) salt 4, tablespoons (1/4 cup) ground cumin 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) coarsely ground black pepper, 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) chili powder 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

P u lle d P o rk In many regions of the South, this dish defines barbecue. At River Run we call it “meat candy.” It’s traditionally smoked, but a low, slow oven will work. Serve as dinner with Mashed Potatoes and collards or for lunch as a sandwich on a white roll with Cole Slaw spooned on top of the meat. 5 pounds fresh (not smoked) pork butt, bone in (look for a cut sold trimmed of any visible fat, 1/4 cup Dry Rub, 3 cups BBQ Sauce, pli Set the oven to 250 degrees Line a baking pan large enough to hold the pork with heavy-dui cleaning up easier). Put the meat on the foil and sprinkle the dry rub evenly over it. (Despite its name, don’t mb it in ) Cover the pan with a tent of foil; fold over the edges to seal. Slowroast 8 to 9 hours; you know the meat is done when you poke it with a fork and it falls off the bone. Allow the meat to cool enough so that you can handle it. Using your hands shred the meat, discarding the fat. Heat up 3 cups BBQ sauce in a saucepan; mix in the shredded meat. Serve warm on a dinner plate or on a sandwich roll, with extra warm BBQ sauce on the side. Yield; at least 12 servings

Virtual Consort he ever eclectic classical ensemble Virtual Consort will be on hand to delight audiences with music spanning the boundaries between modern classi cal, Fellini film music and bossa nova. Based in west ern Massachusetts, Virtual Consort is comprised of Peter Blanchette on "archguitar" and Jean Chaine on bass. As a self-taught electric guitar prodigy growing up in the lively rock and roll environment of the Boston area in the 1970's, Peter Blanchette was composing and performing professionally in jazz/rock fusion and blues groups while in his early teens. At 16, Peter’s life changed when he gave up the electric music scene to attend the Boston Conservatory of Music, where he studied composition and classical guitar. At 22, Blanchette commissioned the first 11-string "archguitar." The instru ment was a hybrid of the 15th century Vihuela and the modern guitar, featuring a unique tuning which enables Blanchette to play idiomatically in many different keys and tunings. This departure from traditional guitar design has made it possi ble for him to arrange and perform music which traditionally has eluded the gui tarist. Blanchette’s recordings, on his own Angelic Alternative Music label, have sold over 50,000 copies in Europe and the Americas. In the classical music world, sales of 2,000 in one year is considered a "hit." Mr. Blanchette was called "one of the most significant guitarists playing in the world today" by Jorgen Falck, of the Danish Radio and Copenhagen Politiken. His recordings have been favorably mentioned in most major international guitar magazines, including ACOUSTIC GUITAR, and SOUNDBOARD. In 1995 Peter Blanchette was awarded "Artist of the Year" by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Virtual Consort performed live on Prairie Home Companion a couple of years ago, and is slated for another appearance from Town Hall in NYC in late 2001. The Consort has made two recordings, "Archguitar Renaissance" which fea tures arrangements of 15th and 16th century airs and dances, and "A Night In The Village," which features arrangements of Bartok, Stravinski, as well as original compositions. They are releasing two new recordings this year; Christmas and Cinema Italiana [with Jean Chaine]; both will be available at the Craftproducers shows, (and nowhere else!) before being released as part of new flagship mega-label Warner Classics in 2002. On June 14, Peter Blanchette and Jean Chaine were nominated (by Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy and Congressman John Olver) and selected one of only 50 performing groups in the country (one from each state) to perform at the Kennedy Center's 50-performance series "Millenium State Days." VirtualConsort will appear at all Craftproducers shows this year.

audience often as diverse and watchable as the paraders them selves. It’s the perfect marriage — or should I say union? — of exhibitionists and voyeurs. At 1:30, the parade and music stop, and everyone pauses for a moment to remember friends and others who are no longer able to celebrate life. It’s a strong silent statement, both for honoring the dead and for providing a simulta neous focus for more than a half million spectators. Another huge event on the final weekend is “Twist,” one of five mega-parties sponsored each year by the Bad Boy Club of Montreal. The BBCM is a fundraising foundation for organizations providing educa tion, support and services regarding HIV and AIDS. A decade of parties has enabled the club to donate more than $800,000, and has led to more than $100 million in economic spin-offs in the Montreal region. The name o f this party, August 4 at Club Medley, derives from the dress code: “white with a twist.” The breadth of official sup

port for Divers-Cite is jjtself a reason for Montreal to be proud. Prime sponsors of the celebration include the government of Quebec, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the City of Montreal, Tourism Montreal, Molson Dry, Air Canada and Coca-Cola. The Gay Games bid, too, has the support of all three levels of gov ernment, along with more than 200 major corporations and organizations. Is this support because Montreal is less uptight than most North American cities? Perhaps, but regardless of the bottoms involved, the bottom line surely attracts attention: Divers-Cite produces $17 mil lion in direct new spending, with $22 million of indirect spin-offs each year. The Gay Games are estimated to bring in $150 mil lion — more than the Jazz Festival and Grand Prix com bined. The U.S. might take note: Pride pays! (7) For more information about Divers-Cite, see www.diverscite. org. See details o f the Gay Games bid a t www.rrumtreal2006.org.

anger was strolling by Bear Pond Books in down town Montpelier the other day when I noticed two thirtysomething women in flowing red robes. They looked like nice enough people, except that when one of them lingered too long at the bookstand, the other started yelling at her: “Come with me! Don’t look at the evil!” Both then ran to the corner stoplight, where they halted and waited anx iously for the light before resuming their flight down State Street. The book they appar ently fled from was The Guinness Book o f World Records. I couldn’t figure that part out. But what these ladies made me think of was not bookstores becom ing havens for Satan worshippers — although sometimes I wonder about those “writers’ groups” that meet in back rooms. They made me think of cults, and the kind of people who join them. Thinking about cults in turn made me think of the Raelians — a bunch of highly educated fruit cakes based somewhere in Quebec. And that made me think of cloning. That’s because the Raelians, who believe they have been handed a sacred mandate by benevolent extraterrestri als to wear robes in public and generally act blissed out, have stated their goal to be among the first to clone human beings. And cloning makes me think of the end of the world as we know it. Because there is nothing more frightening than the idea of running into another me. I’m not trying to be self-deprecating; I’m just trying to say that the cloning of Chris McDonald would result in the slow and agonizing death of every single living creature on Earth. 'I am going to tell you right now about the terrifying technology that already exists and how easily I — or anyone, for that matter — could be cloned at any moment. Then I’m going to tell you why it’s such a bad idea. You’re going to have to wait another couple of weeks for my column on how to make an ammonium nitrate fertilizer bomb, and why building one of them is also a bad idea. Today, it’s “Cloning — Why You Shouldn’t Do It.” Imagine, if you will, that I am on my couch watching “Survivor” on TV. Because my mind is so numb, a Raelian intent on cloning me could easily swab the inside of my cheek for a skin cell or two without my even knowing it. What they would then do is extract my DNA from one of those cells with a tiny pair of tweezers. That DNA would be implanted into a special cell called a stem cell. This stem cell full of my DNA would then be placed in a giant, egg-shaped container and shaken vigorously. Next, this container would be switched with a hen’s egg when she wasn’t looking. In a few weeks the scientists would turn on the music to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The egg would then hatch, and there, illumi nated by a heavenly ray and in all his geneti cally identical glory, would stand a perfect

replica of yours truly, alongside one seriously freaked-out chicken. We will call this hypo thetical clone the AntiChris. The AntiChris would look perfectly fine at first. This noble savage would become an instant celebrity and would hit the talk-show circuit, perhaps smashing a chair over a white supremacist’s head on “Jerry Springer,” or get ting a makeover on “Sally Jessy Raphael.” For a six-figure advance, he would pen his mem oirs about being born fully grown and having a chicken for a mother. And he would weep openly to Oprah about his wish to establish a relationship with me, his only family. I would have to spurn his advances, however. This is because, as a student of science familiar with the theories of matter and antimat ter, I know that the first time Chris and the AntiChris met, both would be anni hilated in a flash of light. The AntiChris, while genetically the same as me, would not have had the same life expe riences and resulting worldly wisdom, and would almost certainly feel slighted and become resentful. And an angry AntiChris would be horribly dangerous. For the AntiChris would be intellectually superior to the regular Chris — he wouldn’t have had an adolescence to drink and smoke away. So, inevitably, something bad would hap pen. As a perfect clone, the AntiChris would instantly have access to the regular Chris’ credit card numbers and checking account, not to mention all the establishments that had ever been foolish enough to grant him a monthly tab. Remember, the clone shares all the same impulses as the original. The two competing Chrisses would quick ly create worldwide shortages of peanut-butter cookies, organic French roast, Stouffer’s microwave dinners and Long Trail Beer. Economies would collapse, governments would topple. And nothing soWs the seeds of a nuclear apocalypse like a little global chaos. The rest, as they say, is the future. All this would be a lot funnier, and less plausible, if the Raelians were stupid. But they’re not. The essential, frightening truth about cult followers — like fanatics in general — is that the smarter they are, the more they are interested in causing the world to end, and the more likely they will be to have a good shot at succeeding. Take, for example, those guys who thought that a little nerve gas in a Japanese subway was a good idea. These were not stupid peo ple. These were" mad scientists, plain and sim ple. And what is the one thing all mad scien tists are interested in? That’s right: making sure they’ve got lots of company in hell. Cloning a human being cannot be a good thing. And I will do everything in my power — everything, I tell you — to keep that from happening. Even if it means giving up “Survivor” entirely. ®

Weekly Will continued from page 4a afternoon and Boyd, who was usually preoccupied making sales, was in a reflective mood. He suddenly told me he wanted to show me something. He walked over and pulled down a photo he had framed on the wall. It was a beautiful pic ture he had taken of a bird in flight. He told me he didn’t know what had inspired him to ■ take it. He said he was just walk ing out of his old store on Battery Street with a camera and all at once he had a feeling, more like an impulse, and he quickly turned and snapped a photo of a bird flying ever his head. He hadn’t planned to photograph the bird; it just happened. He said he didn’t think the photo would even come out. As it turned out, he told me, it was the best picture he had ever taken. It was a spectacular photo and I remember staring at it for a very long time. It was more than a picture of a bird in flight; it had a deeper implication. That day Boyd showed me a side of himself I’d never seen before. I was sad when I read... he had died. Boyd was more than a salesman; he was a teacher, story teller, a friend and to some of the local musicians, a father fig ure. The last time I saw Boyd I was playing a wedding in

Colchester with my brother Phil, Kenny Gulfield and Jeff Stem. We asked Boyd and Brad French (who used to repair guitars downstairs from Boyd’s) up to jam. We had a great time. Boyd amused us when he got up on stage and said, “I can play rock ’n’ roll.” He started playing one of his stock rock beats, one he’d taught my buddies Jay Richland and Nick Howley when they were little kids back in the ’60s. Boom bap bap boom bap. That beat was out of vogue in the ’70s and ’80s, but it’s popular again in hip-hop today. Boyd was a drummer on cruise ships for years before set tling in Burlington and opening Boyd’s Music. Me and my bud dies used to love to hear his tales of travel and adventure. I left Burlington last January to do my first cruise gig and I just signed on for another six months at sea. I’m going to many new and exotic places,- and I know Boyd’s stories left a mark on me. He was an inspiration to many of us. He will be deeply missed by the Burlington music community. I will always think of him in my travels. Thank you, Boyd, I will always remember that day and the photo of “the bird in flight,” and wherever your flight has taken you, I wish you well.

Hey, maybe Bernie’s patience with the lumbering way Congress marches forward has finally run out? Taken separately, none of the above unrelated observations and incidents should make any of the current crop of guberna torial hopefuls take a deep breath. But when you lay them all out on the kitchen table, you’ve got to wonder if Vermont’s left-wing political leg end doesn’t have Montpeculiar on his mind. Media Notes I — Not surpris ingly, in the end Boss Carey went with the total stranger. Hey, that’s life in Corporate Media land. The big story down at 191 College Street this week is the announcement of the next exec utive editor of The Burlington Free Press, Vermont’s largest daily newspaper. Freeps presi dent and publisher James Carey has finally made the much-anticipated choice. Freeps’ Managing Editor Geoff Gevalt had been in the running, but Boss Carey went for the fresh start with a guy from Iowa. Mike Townsend, 49, the managing editor of The Des Moines Register, is coming to Burlap to take over the reins. Congratulations, Mike! In an industry where size matters, it should be noted that Mr. Townsend is moving up the management ladder, but down the newspaper food chain. The Des Moines Register, the largest paper in Iowa, has a cir culation of 150,000 — three times that of our local daily. The Registers reported Sunday circulation of 250,000 is four times the size of our meaty Sunday Freeps. The announcements were made simultaneously in Tuesday’s editions of the Freeps and the Register. Both papers are owned by the mighty Gannett chain. “Mike has an incredible pas sion for the news business and a great eye for an interesting story,” said Register Editor Dennis Ryerson in his Tuesday edition. “He played a key role in the Register, receiving a string of national journalism awards in the past year.” Oh, boy, more prizes! - Vermont readers got the Jim Carey version Tuesday morning. “Free Press President and Publisher James M. Carey described Townsend as a ‘true professional with a remarkable sense of interesting stories and a great passion for our business.” Whoopee! So much for local knowledge and experience. The Godzilla of corporate journalism knows best. A newsroom is a newsroom, whether it’s in Iowa or Vermont. If the Big Macs are the same, why can’t the newspa pers be the same, eh? W ho needs local flavor in a global vil lage? Th.e folks at the Gannett Mother Ship in Alexandria, Virginia, know what’s best for the newspaper readers of America, wherever they may be. Trust ’em. However, yours truly is a lit tle concerned about the picture Boss Carey painted of the new guy from Iowa. In the Freeps

story, Townsend is quoted as saying that one of the things that attracted him to the Burlap post is the Free Press’ “standing in the community.” Oh, really? “There’s a strong sense of ownership among the people here,” [Townsend] said of the Freeps. “It’s important to know the paper has a good profile.” Good profile? About as good as Twiggy’s. Boy, did Boss Carey pull the wool over his eyes! Media Notes li — While the cat’s away, the mice will be play ing this week on Vermont Public Television. Regular host Chris Graff is on holiday, and yours truly is his replacement on “Vermont This Week,” the state’s weekly televised political round table where the press ana lyzes and carves up the politi cians. But this week, something completely different — no reporters! Instead, the pundit seats will be occupied by a tri-partisan trio of politicians: Shummy of Putney, Gasoline Vallee and Tony the Prog. T hat’s State Sen. Peter Shumlin (D-Windham), Skip Vallee, Republican National Committeeman and big spender, and Anthony Pollina, the Progressive Party’s 2000 candidate for governor. W hat fun! The show airs Friday at 7:30 p.m. and repeats Sunday morning at 11:30. New Press Secretary — Congressman Sanders has signed up a new Washington press secretary, replacing David Sirota, who switched over to Wisconsin Congressman David Obey s staff. Helen Langan, 24, is a native of Bountiful, Utah. She previously worked in the Clinton White House press office overseeing the logistics for the traveling White House press corps. Ms. Langan told Seven Days this week she enthusiasti cally accepted Bernie’s job offer because, she said, “Bernie’s got such good ideas. He’s dedicated. And he’s a good statesman.” Sounds like she’s got it down pretty well, eh? China Wins! — The International Olympic Committee’s choice of Beijing as the site for the 2008 games gave many a queasy feeling, among them Vermont’s senior senator, Patrick J. Leahy. “China’s dismal human rights record,” said Leahy, “cou pled with its flaunting of inter national law, makes them a poor candidate to host the Olympic Games. I only hope that after spending millions of dollars to get the bid and billions more to prepare for it, they will do the one thing they can do freely if they want, and that is to start respecting the rights of their own people and those of other countries. Now we will watch closely to see whether the world’s wishes for Chinese progress in human rights tri umph over the world’s fears that they will not.” Sounds like St. Patrick would like to drive the snakes out of China. ®

BLUES NOIR, WHAT I AM (self-released, CD) — The blues has litrie competition in the Sexiest Music Department; there’s something about that slinking, slow grind, the steady-driving boogie that heads straight for the first chakra and plays the devil. Blues Noir have those feels going for them, and then some. They also have that penchant for sexual more-than-suggestion that’s percolated up

from the Delta to Ballston Spa, New York, where the band lives. They’ve also got not one but two outstanding guitarists — Paul Brisco and Peter Corrigan — who excel at slide, for which I am a total sucker. So I got that little inner rumble absorbing the first couple o f songs on the band’s debut CD, What I Am. They’re bo th written and sung by Corrigan, as are eight others on this 14-song.disc. Brisco wrote and sings the rest. Both guitarists contribute solo work on each other’s songs, mak ing this outfit both collaborative and blessedly lacking in that me-me-me thing. These guys rule companionably together. But back to the first two songs: “Sweet Mama Big Legs” reminds me o f the ’60s British blues band Cream; something about its driving arrange ments and the way the guitar and bass — in this case, a tuba played by producer Tony Perrino — play in unison. The song is blatant, about a woman who wraps her legs tight around her man, etc. “How Many Women?” also goes for an NC-

17 rating with a simmering boogie that enumer ates the number of gals he could handle at once. The bring-’em-on attitude easily rivals that of any posturing homeboys, and Corrigan plays guitar like he really means it. Unh, gimme, gimme. Though cooler heads prevail on the next few songs, the band manages to rise above standardissue blooz nearly every rime. Brisco is slightly less randy than Corrigan, though he does turn up the heat on the lengthy boogie, “Ain’t Gonna Q uit My Line.” He turns up the tempo on “Ten .to Eight,” an instrumental with a lickety-split pace more common to ska. W ith guitar this breathlessly deft, who needs words? The title track is another standout for Corrigan, an easy-swinging'boogie that confesses a bit of self-doubt through a litany of things that he is not. On his “One Red Rose,” though, the inspired choice to invite guest vocalist Janelle Donovan just makes me want to hear more of her. The song is an achingly slow grind, and she wrenches the most out of her too-short turn at the mike. Can anyone give me a good reason why this woman isn’t in the band full-time? What I Am winds up with a roadhouse num ber, “I.O.U. Blues,” that would be ordinary but for its needle-nosed guitar lines. Corrigan and Brisco appropriately ground themselves with a steady pulse from drummer John Nichols and bassist Matt Zlotnick. I especially liked their pre cise aerobics on “Ten to Eight.” Blues Noir play occasionally in Burlington, and in fact had their CD release party last week at Nectar’s. Keep an eye out for their next date on this side o f the lake. What I Am suggests that siz zling is what they are. — Pamela Polston

AFROSKULL, MONSTER FOR THE MASSES (Secret Ninja Records, CD) — Just when you think nothing is new in music, along comes Afroskull. Funk has long lent itself to crossbreed ing with other musical genres, h la Fishbone, but this six-piece outfit from New Orleans is breaking still more new ground.

Rhythm & News will return next week

’• Imagine Black Sabbath with a horn section and a frenzied organ. T hat’s what you’ll find on “Theme From Afroskull.” Joe Scatassa’s guitar drones a melody with the same four notes repeat edly. While that might sound monotonous, it’s an ingenious counterpoint to the jazzy noodling around it. “Space Chicken” can be summed up in two words: funk bop. Just try and figure out the time signature on that one. “Kill Whitey” (don’t take that the wrong way; a majority of the band is white) is an eclectic mix that feels alternately like The Red H ot Chili Pep pers, Led Zeppelin and Tower of Power. If “Starsky and H utch” became a movie and needed a melo dramatic, macho soundtrack, this could be it. Virtually all the compositions are delightfully indulgent, dripping with attitude and kitsch. At times, though, it can be a bit much. “Layers” is a little too “Love Boat” for me. “The Obstacle Course” would be a natural background for the “Ladies Man” skit on “Saturday Night Live.” But before it gets too campy, Clarence Johnson III saves the day with a stellar tenor sax solo. Earl Scioneaux lends his organ skills to “It,” which is replete with fuzzy, chunky bass guitar sounds. In fact, guest appearances run wonderfully amuck throughout this disc. If this isn’t enough fun for you, there’s also a story line involving America’s favorite lizard. In “The Attack,” we hear Godzilla laying waste to New Orleans. “Radio Alert” and “Television Intermission” document the ensuing carnage and chaos. Finally, in the title track, the citizens of the Crescent City are cheering the destruction. Maybe they had a few too many Hurricanes on Bourbon Street? Finishing up the disc is “Beefcake,” with abun dant power guitar riffs and a blazing, Satrianiesque guitar solo from Scatassa. By the end of the CD, you’ve been exposed to an eclectic mix of funk, rock, jazz, soul, cheese and one badass mon ster. Now that’s entertainment! Afroskull plays next Wednesday at Red Square and the day after at The Vermont Pub & Brewery. — Kirt Zimmer

T e stin g B y Marc A wodey culptor John Kemp Lee takes advantage of the unique properties of lead, brass, copper and steel in his exhibition, called “Revival,” this month at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery. Because metals are ductile they can be pulled into wire, and because they are malleable they can be shaped by hammering. Metals can be cast, molded, pressed, welded, bent and easily joined to wood and other materials. Modern art historian Herbert Read may have said it best: “Metal... will submit to any formal conception the sculptor may have, and it is this adaptabil ity that explains its present general use.” Lee, a Vermont resident who teaches art at Dartmouth College, under stands this well.

The new film from Frank Oz features some of the finest actojs of the past three generations and is firstrate fun. In addition, it’s notable for two reasons: The Score is the first movie that’s geared to adults and isn’t a comedy from the director, whose oeuvre includes The Little Shop o f Horrors, In & Out, What About Bob?and Bowfinger. For Frank Oz to take on a character-driven heist saga is sort of like the Farrelly brothers heading up a Jane Austen adaptation. It’s the last thing anyone would have expected of him, and Oz proves adept in the new milieu. The picture is also the latest entry into what may be cinema’s smallest genre: heist dramas which team cast members from The Godfather saga who’ve never appeared on camera together before. As far as I know, the genre consists of just two pictures, Michael Mann’s 1995 Heat and now this one. Mann’s drama paired Robert De Niro with Al Pacino. De Niro, of course, played the young Vito Corleone in Godfather 2. Anytime in the course of the series his son Michael is old enough to be played by Pacino, the character of Vito is at an age which requires him to be played by the older Marlon Brando, so the two are never on screen at the same time. In Oz’s drama, De Niro stars opposite Brando himself. It would seem obvious that it’s the first time the two have appeared on screen together, but I watched in disbelief this past weekend as a peppy entertainment show anchor actually gushed, “They both played Vito Corleone but never had any scenes together.” Even more amazing: It wasn’t Mary Hart! The Score features a restrained, cagily shaded per formance from De Niro in the role of an aging profes sional thief. He’s a control-freak burglar by night, the cosmopolitan owner of a cool Montreal jazz club by

day. Brando costars as a close underworld connection, a twinkly sort of Sidney Greenstreet teddy bear who turns De Niro on to promising jobs in exchange for a heaping piece of the action. It’s a far less buffoonish and considerably more intriguing performance than the legendary thespian has given in years. To his great credit, Edward Norton manages to hold his own as a deceptively impulsive young opera tor who’s approached the two with an offer they can’t refuse. Posing as a mentally challenged night janitor, Norton has staked out the city’s Customs House, where an antique French scepter worth $30 million is being stored in a state-of-the-art safe. It is watched around the clock by guards equipped with motion detectors and a battery of cameras. Brando needs the money desperately in order to get out from under his debt to a dangerous crime boss, and pleads with De Niro to take on the job despite his reservations. He does, and what ensues is a techno-thriller that proves tremendously satisfying, if not totally unfamiliar. The tension between Norton’s and De Niro’s char acters bubbles to a boil throughout.'We just know these two aren’t going to slip off into the sunset together, and Oz choreographs things neatly, keeping his audience wondering which one will come out on top to the end. The three stars do highly watchable work, the writing is a pleasure in places and — speaking of places — I’ve never seen the city of Montreal look more lovely on film. A heist saga in which three incontestably great actors take turns stealing scenes, The Score isn’t quite Godfather-\c\d fun.

Good balance is important to saving for your retirement To achieve true balance, all major asset allocation models today show that a significant portion of your retirement savings needs to be in principal-protected plans like fixed annuities. Don’t be confused by savings alternatives that subject your principal to risk. LSW offers a broad choice of tax-favored fixed annuities that provide true principal protection. You can choose from LSW’s traditional fixed annuities which offer guarantees of interest or LSW’s equity-indexed annuities offering the potential for higher interest credits. So when you want the peace of mind that only a truly balanced retirement planning portfolio can give you... think of LSW- a leader in fixed annuities.

wenty years ago, the City of Burlington launched the Battery Park Summer Concerts as part of an effort to reclaim the urban green space that overlooks Lake Champlain. Historically the urban park had been a popular spot for summer socializing, but things were getting out of hand with teenage drinking parties and fights. The police were fed up. Neighbors complained about the noise. Officials agreed that the best possi ble approach would be to make the park a destination for recreational and cultural events. The Mayors Arts Council, since renamed Burlington City Arts, began to schedule weekly concerts in the bandshell. Two decades later, the music-as-salvation concept continues in the southwest corner of the Old North End. This year, the series of five shows — down from the original eight — got started last week with The Gordon Stone Band. This week The Starline Rhythm Boys, the regions foremost purveyors of “honkytonk boogie,” take a turn with their hybrid cache of Western swing, country, bluegrass and vintage rock ’n’ roll. Former Throbulators front man Danny Coane mixes originals with great oldies like “Apartment #9,” by Johnny Paycheck. Keep an ear out, for upcoming gigs with Mango Jam, Gregory Douglass and The Sandra Wright Band.

hops to i t : flowery prose? Dorothy Sucher may spend winters in Maryland, but her roots are in Marshfield — horticulturally speaking, anyway. The Vermont growing season was the inspiration behind her most recent book, The Invisible Garden. Her previous books are fic tion — the mysteries Dead Men Don’t Give Seminars and Dead Men Don’t Marry — but the 1999 essay collection published by Counterpoint Press makes connections between the enigma of the human spirit and the Earth itself. Sucher’s memories of buy ing a ramshackle farmhouse on 10 acres, landscaping and put ting in a pond are juxtaposed with reminiscences about family. Only live men are welcome at the reading. Women, too.

The Vermont Brewers Festival is not a keg party. Timed to coincide with American Beer Month, and the hottest part of the summer, it’s a serious celebration of quali ty suds. The ninth annual also serves up music from Skabazza, The Onion River Dixieland Jazz Band and Currently Nameless, but the main attraction is the craft brews made by producers from the Northeast and Canada. You can schmooze while you booze. Thirsting for knowl edge? Check out the “educational” programs, such as “Cooking With Beer” and “Keys to Successful Home Brewing.” The Vermont Brewers Festival: Friday and Saturday,

perfect 10? “A ten-minute play is a streak of light ning. It doesn’t last long, but its power can stand your hair on end.” That is the premise — and the promise — behind an evening of skits from the Middlebury Actors Workshop entitled, appropriately, Streaks o f Lightning: Six Ten-Minute Plays. The newly formed sextet of actors and directors is committed to local and international stuff — as long as it’s fast-moving. Catch Helen at Risk, by Middlebury playwright Dana Yeaton, on the same bill with The Man Who Couldn’t Dance, by Jason Katims, creator of the teen-alien-television show “Roswell.” Should be outta this world. . .

stepping out The intensive, two-week dance workshop Peter Schmitz leads each summer in Burlington involves “moving people through designed spaces” and understanding the flow of energy between bodies in motion. The choreographer, a Middlebury College professor, sees improvisation as a creative resource and discipline. Not to mention a way of challenging the old models, and expectations, of formal perform ance. Workshop participants, some of whom are Vermont’s best modern dancers, show their stuff in a final viewing that is so casual Schmitz calls it an “informance.” Just don’t forget to show up.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Larva” and “pupa” are key metaphors for you in the next 12 months. They refer to the two earliest stages o f a butterfly’s life cycle. W hile a larva, the future winged beauty wanders around as a caterpillar, stuff ing itself with as much nutritive sub stance as possible. Upon becoming a pupa, it remains virtually inert, work ing furiously on the inside to trans form itself into its mature form. I don’t want to get overly literal about the comparison and the timing, but my sense is that your larval stage begins any day now, and you’ll turn into a pupa shortly before your birth day next year. Oh, and then o f course there’s the ultimate emergence in the summer o f 2002.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): Around the age o f 5 or 6, many chil dren begin to wonder if the adults that care for them are their real par ents. Some imagine they were secretly adopted. Others go further, suppos ing they were originally born into a royal family. This universal tendency is reflected in fairy tales, which are replete with the theme o f a baby stolen or separated from a king and queen. As irrational as the fantasy might be, many o f us unconsciously carry it into adulthood. It helps » explain why we sometimes feel like orphans, even if our moms and dads are still alive. It’s exacerbated by the fact that we’re often out o f touch with our pasts and have no relation ship with a loving Father God or Mother Goddess. That’s the bad news, Taurus. And the good news? It’s all due for a change. Can you handle feeling more at hom e in the world than ever before?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I’m not a big fan o f homely metaphors drawn from the culture o f consumerism. Alas, that’s exactly the kind o f omen I found for you when I gazed into m y magic mirror this week. There you were, being com pared to a tube o f toothpaste that has

never been squeezed from the bot tom, but always from the top. I think you know what to do now, Gemini. Let me goad you on by suggesting how smart it will be for you to plumb the good stuff that’s been languishing unused down below.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Imagine that you are both the wood and the fire that consumes the wood. W hen you focus your awareness in the part o f you that is the wood, you hurt; it’s painful to feel your sense o f solidity breaking down. But as you shift your attention to the part o f you that is the fire, you exult in the wild joy o f liberation and power. As one o f the guardians o f your happiness, I’m tempted to urge you to visualize yourself primarily as the fire. But as an ally o f your soul, I believe it’s more important to ask you to be both wood and fire simultaneously, at least for now.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Shall we review the highlights and lowlights o f your performances in recent months? First, you raised your consciousness so far, so fast that you ended up with your head in the clouds. Then when you plopped back down to earth, you sprained your ego. Fortunately, though, during your recuperation you coaxed back several lost or banished resources. Unfortunately, that impelled you to rebel rashly against some very comfortable traditions. Fortunately, that forced you out into the equivalent o f a beer can-littered wilderness, where you will shortly find something resembling God. Final score: Successes, 10; Failures, 7.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo, you’re one o f the finalists in our “Survivor o f the Year” award for 2001. And if you’re willing to take a little trip to hell and back in the next

B y R ob B rezsny I

ology

couple o f weeks, you could assure yourself the crown. Well, let me be more precise: “hell” is the wrong word. “H ell” is the term the Christians coined to distort the meaning o f the realm o f shadows and mystery. In fact, this “underworld” can be rather entertaining and not at all unpleasant if you approach it with the right attitudes. And what are the right attitudes? An optimistic curiosi ty to learn what you’ve been ignorant about; a determination to uncover feelings that have been repressed; and a spiritual yearning for inspiration that’s not available when you’re in your normal daily trance.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Have you ever dreamed o f being your own master? And o f rebelling against people like me who try to tell you who you are and what you should do? Wouldn’t you enjoy escaping the kinds o f behavior that cause harden ing o f the arteries in laboratory rats? Well, Libra, after analyzing your astrological omens, I believe that this is the time and this is the place. A colorful destiny is teasingly pleading for you to merge with it. All you have to do is give yourself unconditionally to your deepest desire. O f course, that will require all your ingenuity, compassion and daring. Strange that the easiest trick in the world is also the hardest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): So what you thought was a weedy wasteland turns out to be merely the edge o f a fertile wilder ness. And as you look closer, that gnarled, branchless tree pockmarked with worm holes turns out to be a signpost. Hallelujah! You’re not lost after all. N ow here I come, shoving a Rorschach inkblot test in your face. W hen you first stare at the thing, you see something like a madman chok

ing a giraffe as a ladder falls. But as I tickle your ribs, your perspective shifts, and you decide it’s actually an image o f you dancing on top a beau tifully carved oak table in a throne room.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Confidential to Sagittarian muckrakers, whistle-blow ers and righteous rebels: Your passion to get to the bottom o f the truth needs to intensify. Confidential to Saj researchers: Breakthroughs are nigh if you relax into your work and monitor your dreams. Confidential to Saj con spiracy theorists: Smoking guns you’ve been trying to obtain forever are finally accessible. Confidential to Saj queers who’re Star Trek fans: Launch a letter-writing campaign to get an openly gay character on the new “Enterprise” T V show. Confidential to Saj trendsetters: Wear your clothes backward and inside out. And confidential to those o f you who don’t fit any o f the above categories: Translate everything I just said into metaphors that apply in your own sphere.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): “The ancient Egyptians thought onions symbolized the many-layered universe,” notes natu ralist Diane Ackerman, “and swore oaths on an onion as we might on a Bible.” I recommend that you resur rect this practice now that you’re entering the Vow-Taking Season. Yes, Capricorn, you’re about to enjoy a phase in your astrological cycle when you’ll receive lots o f cosmic assistance if you commit yourself to a challeng ing process you’re sure you can love over the long haul. So wrap your hands around a big, ripe onion and take a solemn (but maybe also slight ly playful) pledge.

iQUARIUS

(Jan. 20Feb. 18): In the film Himalaya, le Tibetan Buddhist monk-inftraining, Norbou, agrees to leave the peace and quiet o f the monastery in order to help his father on an arduous trek into the moun tains. “Why?” asks the old man, sur prised by his son’s decision. “My mas ter told m e,” Norbou replies, “that when two paths present themselves, always take the hardest one.” As you know, Aquarius, I am not a fan o f the “N o Pain, N o Gain” philosophy o f life. However, in response to your current astrological omens, I heartily recommend that you borrow the young monk’s approach.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Since the first Piscean life form first slunk out o f the primordial ooze eons ago, there’s probably never been a better time than now for you and your tribe to triumph forever over your congenital longing to crawl back into the primordial ooze. Your ache to be at one with the oceanic flow is no longer competing with your grow ing drive to be a vividly individuated human; instead, it is actually enhanc ing that drive for a change. I’ve been waiting for this turning point in Piscean history since I first began writing this column 23 years ago. Please seize the tremendous opportu nity. Find the secret to being your unique self even as you celebrate your urge to merge.

Dear Lola, I recently met a really great woman. She’s smart, cute, warm, etc. On cur second date, we stayed up all night, just yakking. This could be The Real Thing. But it’s too intense, too much, too fast, too scon. Like con centrated orange juice when you forget to add the water. She’s already asking me to define cur relationship, and I feel like I’m just barely getting to know her. I could real ly go for this woman, if we could just have a nor mal courtship, but the pace she’s setting scares me to death. What to do? Scared in Salisbury Dear Scared, Level with the lady. Tell her how hopeful you are about this relation ship, but that, for you, how you get there is part of the allure. Talk about appetizers, mention fore play, describe the long, curved road that leads to the main house at Shelburne Farms. Give yourself a little space, with a scheduled date on the other side. If none of this works, she could be higher maintenance than you’re up for. Love,
