SEVEM-DM5>'

Meet Vermont's "Godfather" In Vermont's insider political circles, he's known simply by his first name -— "Harlan." He's also known as the "Go-To Guy," a "major player," and "an invisible force you'd be well advised to be wary of." And he's always operated beneath the media's radar net — until now. That's because last week, the name of Harlan Sylvester popped up in a Washington Post story about Ed Flanagan, Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate. Who is Harlan Sylvester? Glad you asked. Harlan is a 63-year-old St. Albans native who resides in Burlington's swank Hill Section. He graduated from UVM back in 1959 and, as a young man, got involved in the brokerage business and politics. Today he's a senior vice-president at Salomon Smith Barney, the powerful brokerage house, working out of the firm's South Burlington office building. Harlan's also a Democrat, unusual for a Wall Street type. He says he's a "fiscal conservative" and "moderate on social issues." Sounds like a Blue Dog Democrat to me. In the public arena, Harlan's the chairman of the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors and also chairman of the state racing commission. But Harlan Sylvester is much, much more. You see, Mr. Sylvester has had the cocked ear of Vermont governors going all the way back to Tom Salmon in the 1970s. It's said that former Republican Gov. Dick Snelling had Harlan's ph one number on his speed dial. And we're told by reliable sources that Gov. Howard Dean, son of a Wall Street mover and shaker himself, regularly stops by Harlan's topfloor office with the lake view. Garrison Nelson, the legendary UVM political science professor, started watching Vermont politics 30 years ago. He described Harlan this'way: "Harlan loves conservative Democrats," said Nelson. "He wants to erase the gap between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. That's why Howard Dean is his soul mate." Indeed, Ho-Ho's clarion call for "fiscal conservatism" and for cutting Vermont's "marginal tax rate" — the rate the millionaires pay — have mirrored Harlan the Stockbroker's political play book. Clearly, Harlan and Ho-Ho speak the same language and see things pretty eye-to-eye. Surprisingly, our request on Monday to interview Gov. Dean about his close relationship with Mr. Sylvester was denied. For some reason, Ho-Ho simply doesn't want to talk about it. Sue Allen, his press secretary, politely told us Tuesday afternoon the governor was "on the road." She said he was making "a two-day swing" through Bennington and Windham counties and was unavailable. Guess all the phones must be out down south. But, jeezum crow, wasn't that Howard Dean making an unscheduled appearance on WKDR/WDEV's "The Mark Johnson ShowTuesday morning? Yes, indeed. Ho-Ho apparently heard a caller's remark on Act 60 that he took exception to, so he got on the car phone pronto. But he's too busy to speak to Seven Days. Sure. One veteran Statehouse business lobbyist described Mr. Sylvester as "the Go-To Guy." The lobbyist assured us, "Anyone thinking of running for statewide office and raising the money to do so goes to see Harlan." He's right. Just ask Democrats Peter Shumlin and Elizabeth Ready and all the rest who've made that sacred pilgrimage from the left fringe of the Democrat party to an audience with Harlan in Salomon Smith Barney Land on Swift Street in South Burlington. ; "Harlan likes to be in the background, but he's definitely a major player," said the lobbyist. In fact, added our source, "Harlan's like the Godfather, but not in a negative way." That's a relief, because we know he's not pleased by all the well-deserved positive attention

we're giving him this week. Another veteran political insider, also speaking on condition of anonymity, described Harlan as "one of those invisible forces you should be wary of." This Statehouse regular said Harlan "doesn't get involved much, but when he does, you know." In fact, under the Golden Dome, conversations quiet in an instant at the very mention of Harlan's name. Political types have been known to try to boost their stature by dropping a line in hallway conversation about "having dinner with Harlan." The name of "Harlan Sylvester," said our source, "is the number one name to drop in Vermont political circles." He joked that, "If everybody at the Statehouse who claims to have had dinner with Harlan actually had dinner with him, Harlan would weigh 400 pounds!" Harlan doesn't. We can attest to that. He's slim and fighting trim and quick on his feet. When we spoke with him Tuesday, he was taking a heartpounding stroll on the treadmill in his South Street basement. Yes, he admitted with some pride, that over the years, he has given counsel and advice to several of Vermont's chief executives. "If Madeleine or Dick or Howard call and ask for advice," he told Seven Days, "of course I would respond." And it's clear he's solidly on the Howard Dean team in HoHo's moment of need. "Howard has a great record to run on," said Harlan. "It's too bad people are focusing on one issue" — a reference to the civil-unions controversy. "If the governor hadn't signed the bill," he argued, "the chances are very good that it would have gone back to the Supreme Court, and we'd have full-scale gay marriage next year." As usual, Harlan's right once again. And, oh yes, the article in the Washington Post, "Gay Official Aims to Shake up Senate," was all about Ed Flanagan. Harlan the Democrat raised the only negative note. He was quoted on his prediction of the race's outcome. Mr. Sylvester told the Post, "If the election were held today, it would be a blowout." By that he meant Republican Jim Jeffords has it all locked up. "Most Vermonters feel pretty good about their senate delegation," he added. Asked Tuesday why Harlan the Democrat was touting the Republican in the race, he replied, "I have no trouble with Jan BackliS. In the primary, I'm supporting Jan. In the general election," he added, "we'll talk about that when the time comes." That'? another thing Harlan and Ho-Ho are in lock-step on — they both can't stand Ed Flanagan.

Inside Track BY PETER FREYNE

Political Sign Wars — Unless you're either legally blind or the governor of Vermont, you've noticed the "Rllth Dwyer for Governor" signs dotting the countryside. Funny, but Gov. Howard Dean appeared dumbfounded last week when we asked him about all the Dwyer signs out there. Despite his frequent travels to the four corners of the state, Ho-Ho said he hadn't noticed the political lawn signs. We suggested that might be because his state police vehicle has tinted windows. No, he insisted, while the tinting prevents prying eyes looking in, he's perfectly capable of looking out. He said he had not seen all the Dwyer signs. According to Ruthless Ruth's campaign manager, Kathie Summers, 1850 Dwyer lawn signs have been distributed to supporters so far. Another 1000 are on order. But not all of them are parked on Vermont front lawns. Currently, 18 to 20 of them are sitting in an Agency of Transportation garage in Bennington. Bob Grinold, owner of the Wilmington White

Police in Pleasant Hill, California, arrested Steven Augustov Anderson, 30, after he rolled into a Wells Fargo Bank in a wheelchair, placed his black beanie cap on the counter and told a teller to fill it with cash. He was apprehended while wheeling himself through the bank parking lot after the heist by a couple of officers about 200 yards away who were working a traffic incident when the call came in, police Sgt. John Pratt said, adding, "He had bad timing."

system identified a single traveler as having accounted for 10 percent of all non-collision injuries last year by claiming to have been injured 49 times. "The injuries were reported at stations throughout the rail network, from Penzance to Edinburgh, sometimes twice in one day," the report said. "It was almost always the same reason, a shoulder dislocation." Noting that the man had never made any claims for compensation, a spokesperson for Railtrack, the agency which compiled the report, said the "injuries" would be removed from future safety statistics.

Third Time's a Charm According to investigators, Edward Hall, 50, stole a utility trailer from a Home Depot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but a few miles away it came unhitched from his pickup truck and crashed. He returned to the store and stole a second one. It came loose, too, crashing just 75 yards from the first one. Hall went back for a third, which didn't crash but did sideswipe the patrol car of a Bernalillo County sheriff's deputy investigating the first two crashes. The deputy gave chase and easily caught up with Hall, who was driving only 25 mph, "probably," one detective said, "because he knows the trailers, at high speeds, don't stay on very well."

When Garlic Isn't Enough Police in New York's Rockland County arrested David W. Bolton, 45, after he sneaked into the room of his boardinghouse neighbor, Jeffrey Todd, 22, and tried to drive a sharpened wooden cross through his heart. When Todd awoke and snatched the cross away, Bolton hit him with a hammer. Sgt. Steve Morgan of the Clarkstown police told The New York Times that Bolton explained to police he acted on "instructions from a higher authority."

• Britain's Ministry of Defense announced it was considering easing a severe shortage of soldiers by recruiting inmates in youth prisons. "The army is looking for the best new recruits," an army spokesperson said. "We don't exclude potential young applicants who have made mistakes in the past and paid for them."

Bureaucracy in Action After William Reynolds died of cancer in April, his local government council sent him a letter informing him that his council tax benefit was being stopped "because there has been a change in your circumstances, the change is because you are dead." The letter added Reynolds was welcome to appeal the council's decision. • While Arturo Suspe, 87, waited in a long line at a government office in Colombia's Cundinamarca province to collect an official certificate proving he was still alive so he could continue drawing his monthly pension, he dropped dead of a heart attack.

What a Gas

Rehabilitation Projects Noting a sudden rise in thefts of luxury goods from airline passengers' luggage at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, authorities blamed a two-year-old program aimed at creating jobs by hiring juvenile offenders as luggage handlers. Some of the youths were encouraged to take the positions by being offered a choice between a prison sentence or a job at the airport. "For thieves," a police officer said, "the airport has become an Ali Baba's cave."

Any

reason

ers commit suicide twice as often as utility workers who aren't exposed to electromagnetic fields. One possible explanation, according to Edwin van Wijngaarden, lead author of the U N C study, is that the electromagnetic fields are thought to suppress melatonin levels in the body. The hormone affects a persons sleep cycle and mood.

Another Plus for Bottled Water

Canada's largest private electric company, TransAlta, signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Global Livestock Group, a U.S. company, to produce a feed supplement that will reduce cow flatulence in Uganda. If successful, a TransAlta spokesperson said, the decrease in methane gas — a leading cause of global warming caused by cows farting and burping will be equivalent to 30 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Residents of about 60 homes in Pineville, Louisiana, drank and bathed in contaminated water for almost three months after city workers mistakenly connected a sewer line to an underground water pipe. Health risks were minimal, city officials insisted, because the water supply had enough chlorine in it to kill most bacteria.

Occupational Hazards

South Africa's Advertising Standards Authority ordered the immediate withdrawal of a television commercial for spicy chicken at Nando's fast-food chain that shows a blind woman being dragged into a light pole by her chicken-hungry guide dog.

An Australian court awarded $15,600 in damages to Carol Vanderpoel, 52, who claimed she suffered depression after listening to people talk about their problems while she gave them massages. She said she was forced to deal with emotionally disturbed clients at the Blue Mountains Women's Health Center in Katoomba without training as a counselor or debriefing to cope with the resulting stress.

Bush's "Brown" Nosing

was watching C-SPAN the other day and heard a man talking about the reelection of President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. A caller phoned in and wanted to know what the difference was between Lincoln's time and ours. Specifically, in terms of "negative campaigning" and "namecalling," were presidential elections "better or worse" in Lincoln's day? " Worse!?' the author cried, astounded that anyone could not know. Doubtless he's been spending too much time in libraries. Here's the sort of letter Lincoln used to get from his constituents, in this case, a Mr. Peter Muggins: "God damn your God damned old hellfired God damned soul to hell. God damn you and God damn your damned family's God damned hellfired God damned soul to hell and Good damnation God damn them and God damn your God damned friends to hell." OK? For the "moderate," there was Harper's take on Lincoln at the same time: "Filthy story teller, despot, liar, thief, braggart, buffoon, usurper, monster, ignoramus perjurer, swindler, tyrant, field-butcher, land-pirate." (Quotes courtesy of webmaster@insults.net.) I go on about this because the one thing missing from American life and politics now is an honest word on any subject. We've got a Republican presidential candidate fronted by corporate interests and a Democratic candidate fronted by corporate interests, along with a vast media punditocracy, alleged to be "liberal" in bias, but in fact fronted by the same corporate interests that are fronting the show in the first place. There's no room for "choice" here, only anxious speculation as to which of two corporate shills will cause the least harm. Or should it be Nader? None of these men will actually run the country. At the same time, the epidemic of American greed, selfishness and spineless cynicism (now called "irony") is disguised in vapid, left-liberal slogans and buzz words coopted by the ad-men to dull the national wits even further: "community," "diversity," "acceptance," "tolerance," "civility," "consensus," "inclu-

sion" and so on. Repeat these words often enough, as The New York Times' Frank Rich observes, "and no one's going to look too hard at the fine print." Let's just agree to disagree, if you know what I mean. We can revisit it later. There's a new Commandment abroad in the land, tailor-made for dishonest times: "Thou shalt not call a spade a spade." Or, as Vermont's own Dorothy Thompson observed, "This country was a happier place when a little good-natured racism was taken for granted." Thus I introduce the most vulgar and shameless political pandering of an already shameless season. Did you all catch George W. Bush's "Latino" nephew last week,

squealing, cameras whirring, and gay boys swooning at the imagined possibilities ("He lives in L.A.! He hasn't got a girlfriend! He works as a paralegal!') "He is a reflection of the new multicultural America," says Lionel Sosa, the Dubya consultant responsible for the TV ads in which "P" calls his uncle " un buen hombre" and says he'll make " un gran presidente." At the 1988 Republican convention, to be sure, Grandpa Bush introduced "P" and his siblings to America as "the little brown ones over there." But times have changed. "Brown" is just what Dubya needs to complete the bamboozlement of an already brain-dead electorate. "Our biggest challenge will be to separate my uncle from the rest of the Republican Party," "P" remarks in a moment of truth — he'd "rather not talk" about his own political ideas. Meantime, Hillary Clinton has her hands full in the New York Senate race because a couple of people who hate her claim she called one of them a "fucking Jew-bastard" three decades ago in a moment of anger. For "anti-Semitism" Hillary may lose her election, while Dubya will doubtless win his trotting out the family hunk and playing the "Latino" card for all its worth. For the record, I've never called anyone a fucking Jewbastard, not even my former brother-in-law, kidnapper Stephen Fagan. But I'm getting more sympathetic to the idea as the millennium progresses. Bush's nephew "breaks a barrier for people who would never, ever listen to a Republican message," Sosa adds with a straight face. "All of a sudden they're saying, 'Wait a minute. Listen to this. He is one of us.'" I think not. I think he's one of them, only "brown." Vice-presidential candidate Dick Cheney has a "gay" daughter, too, but she works for Coors, "mending fences" between one of America's most despicably homophobic corporations and the so-called gay and lesbian community. "Inclusion," my foot. Lincoln was called names because his principles were higher than his politics. Dubya — or someone just like him — will win this election because politics is all there is. ®

George Prescott Bush IV, known to his family as "P"? (That's what they call him, honest — I suppose "Skipper" was already taken.) This 24year-old, "hunky," "heartthrob," "drop-dead gorgeous" media invention is the son of Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and his Mexican wife, Columba. Currently, Bush IV is No. 4 on People magazine s Top 100 Eligible Bachelors list, right after George Clooney, Derek Jeter and Matt Damon. He's "fast becoming a celebrity," as the wire reports say; he's got "rock-star quality," "a Hispanic hybrid of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Ricky Martin," according to Today. Two totally unrelated entities, in other words, united only by common (and I mean common) wisdom about their looks. Welcome to our time. "P" is an all-purpose celebrity — put him in a dress and a wig and he'd look just like Selena, may she rest in peace. Lately, he's been on a Republican "Countdown to Convention Tour," trying to hustle the Latino and youth vote in anticipation of this week's expanded photo opportunity in Philadelphia. WhereVer "P" goes, girls are

College

hen future historians record how same-sex marriage came to be accepted in the United States, Tom Little's role will warrant much more than a footnote. It will be recalled that in the year 2000 the Vermont legislature broke the taboo that had prevented gays and lesbians fro m entering into state-sanctioned unions. The chroniclers of the centuries-long struggle for equal treatment for all Americans will further note that the decisive battle over the civilunions law was fought in the closely divided Vermont House. And the most insightful analysts will then point to an unassuming Republican lawmaker from Shelburne as the single most influential figure in steering the legislation to narrow passage. Tom Little, they'll say, was perfect for the part — politically and personally. Just as we credit the efforts and example of Illinois Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen for approval of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Americans may one day realize that gay and lesbian marriage rights were won, in part, because a Vermont G O P leader helped persuade other moderate Republicans to vote their conscience, not their fears. Sitting in his St. Paul Street law office overlooking City Hall Park in Burlington, Little, 46, makes no such claims for his work. The most he will say, three months after enactment of the civil-unions law, is that "someone at the left or right end of the spectrum probably would not have been able to put it all together." Others, however, do not hesitate to identify Little as the most influential of the 150 House members in determining the bill's fate. First, he shepherded it through a key committee, the Judiciary; then he floor-managed the legislation to victory in a chamber where a majority had to be constructed vote by vote. "Yes, Tom played a major role in the bill's passage," says Rep. Nancy Sheltra of Derby, a militant opponent of civil unions. This fellow Republican is so galled by Little's success that she hopes to see him defeated in the party's September primary. Rod Fisher, Little's challenger in that race, says he was motivated to run because of the incumbent's high-visibility stance on civil unions. And Fisher, a 62-year-old retiree, apparently intends to make sexual preference an issue in the race. Although »» Little and his wife of 23 years have produced three children. Fisher insists his opponent "must be either homosexual or bisexual," adding, "everybody who voted for the bill is either homosexual or bisexual." Little's pivotal role is also acknowledged — in different terms — by those at .the other end of the political spectrum. "He was absolutely the most influential - . in-the direction the bill took," says Rep. Steve Hingtgen, a Burlington * Progressive. In his role as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Little ; i "did the grunt work in getting the bill written* and he shaped tfie subtleties of it," Hingtgen observes. "Absolutely," Freedom-to-Marry lobbyist Beth Robinson quickly replies

Tom is seen as a very liberal Republican, but on economics, he's true-blue. Even on a lot of environmental issues, he's on the traditional Republican side. 441

have been considered consistent with the Supreme Court's ruling. Little insisted that the legislation be tailored to gays and lesbians. He could have tried to fudge it by making civil-union status available to heterosexuals and homosexuals alike, as has been done in France. But that solution presented Constitutional difficulties, Little believes. It would have afforded straight couples two options — marriage or civil union — while gays and lesbians would be limited to one.

Bostwick Road. Tom attended Bowdoin College and Cornell Law School. His own politics were shaped to a large degree by his Republican parents, he says. Elaine Little was a planning commissioner in Burlington, while George Little, owner of the printing company that bore his name, served five terms in the State Senate and two in the House. "There was never any talk between us of him being my successor," George Little says. The father's views are similar to the

"If sexual orientation is not quite the same as the pigment of one's skin, it's close enough." REPUBLICAN REP. TOM LITTLE

when asked whether Little was the main factor in passage of the civil-unions legislation. The 10-1 affirmative vote he helped engineer in the Judiciary Committee was "completely crucial" in assembling the 7869 margin by which the bill cleared the full House. Republican lawmaker John Edwards of Swanton calls Littles leadership on the issue "masterful." N o one else in the House "had the skills and the respect" needed to handle so explosive a piece of legislation, remarks Edwards, a former state trooper who voted for the bill. Subtlety is Little's secret weapon, according to Hingtgen. Not only is the close-cropped, buttoned-down attorney unobtrusive in his appearance, he's so calm and considerate that "he can move legislation forward without much indication that it's happening," Hingtgen notes. In the case of the civil-unions bill, Little took the time needed to develop a solid consensus among committee members. He listened patiently — to proponents of an outright same-sex marriage law as well as to legislators who did not want to go nearly that far. Little says he wanted to proceed at the deliberative pace he believed essential to the bill's success, but he also did not want to delay final action until next year's session. He was worried that if the legislature failed to respond in a timely fashion to the Vermont Supreme Court's December 1999 ruling on the Baker case, supporters of same-sex marriage would return to the court to demand it take the matter out of the hands of the House and Senate. To avoid that outcome, which would have been widely viewed as antithetical to the democratic process, Little had to employ psychological as well as political skills. "I was initially concerned with establishing a thoughtful atmosphere in the committee so that members could discuss the issue without too much self-consciousness," he explains. By "issue," Little means "sexuality." And he understood that many of his colleagues shared his own reluctance to discuss the subject. "I've always had a difficult time talking about any kind of sexuality," Little admits. "That's something private." But for him

and other committee members, Constitutional concerns came to transcend personal inhibitions.

ittle's own respect for Supreme Court rulings verges on reverence. Once the court decided in the Baker case that Vermont was violating the equal-benefits clause of its Constitution, he became fully committed to providing lesbian and gay couples with the same protections enjoyed by heterosexual married partners. To Little, it was a straightforward civilrights issue. "If someone's sexual orientation is not established at birth, it is established soon after," he reasons. "And if sexual orientation is not quite the same as the pigment of one's skin, it's close enough." Little says his own attitude toward sexual orientation was strongly influenced by Bill Lippert, an openly gay legislator who has served on the Judiciary Committee for the past five years. "The more people can come to know individuals who are gay or lesbian without focusing on their sexuality, the more people can accept them as human beings," Little comments. The round of public hearings on the civil-unions legislation was "a watershed event" that changed the perceptions of many lawmakers, he adds. Often at these sessions, "someone would stand up and say, 'Here I am. You know me. I'm your neighbor.' It put a human face on the issue," Little notes. But as much as he was affronted by homophobic discrimination, Little was not willing to erase all legal distinctions between gay and straight. Specifically, he refused to craft a bill giving unequivocal endorsement to same-sex marriage. "Vermont as a political culture and a social culture wasn't ready for same-sex marriage," in Little's judgment. Lobbyist Robinson is careful to point out that the civil-unions legislation that Little did write was "not our bill." It was "a good piece of compromise legislation," she adds, "but it was still a compromise." Littles bill, however, does come closer to whatsame-sex marriage advocates favor than did suggested alternatives that might

In addition, Vermont heterosexual couples had not gone to court to complain of discriminatory treatment, he points out. "I realize there are man" heterosexual Vermonters who don't like che institution of marriage because of its histori 1 baggage," Little says. "But they do have the right to join in a simple civil ceremony. Gays and lesbians didn't have that right." Rep. George Schiavone, a Republican representing another part of Shelburne, faults Little for refusing to extend civilunion rights to non-homosexual same-sex couples, such as a son and a widowed father or two elderly sisters who live together. "Tom was driven to get the thing through, his way," Schiavone says. "He was determined to set up a ceremony parallel to marriage." Calling the arrangement "domestic partnership" might also have assuaged the anxieties of a larger number of lawmakers. Again, though, Little and other committee members were insistent on the "civil union" coinage. "Domestic partnership had connotations of hired help in the home," the Judiciary chairman says. "We also wanted to distinguish what we were doing from the domestic partnership legislation that has passed in other states." Despite his pioneering performance, Little does not think he is far in front of his constituents in promoting legal recognition of same-sex unions. Most Shelburne voters with whom he has spoken approve of his position, Little says. Schiavone, leader of the House opposition to the bill, has a different reading of sentiment in the same town. "I feel I represent what's probably a majority on this issue," he says. "I sense that I'm not running against a major tide." Schiavone concedes, however, that Little is unlikely to lose next month's primary on this single issue. Given the strategy of Little's opponent, that seems a reasonable assessment. If Little survives Fisher's challenge, he can glide to a fifth term in office. N o Democrat has run against Little in the last three elections, and none is seeking to unseat him this November.

native Vermonter and the son of a former state legislator, Little is a good match for the moderate and generally affluent district he represents. H e and his wife Susan, an English-as-a-second-language instructor at St. Michael's College, live on a six-acre property on

son's on most issues, with George likening his own traditional brand of Vermont Republicanism to that of Sen. George Aiken. There are conservative aspects of that legacy, notes Progressive legislator Steve Hingtgen. "Tom is seen as a very liberal Republican," he says, "but on economics he's true-blue. Even on a lot of environmental issues, he's on the traditional Republican side." Susan Little, whose ancestral Vermont roots go at least as deep as her husband's, meanwhile describes herself as a political independent. Her own father was a staunch FDR Democrat, and she says she never doubted that civil union equates with civil rights. Temperamentally, Susan says she qualifies as the "yang" to Tom's "yin." Indeed, "calm" is the adjective perhaps most frequently applied to Little by his political colleagues. "Stolid" and "lawyerly" seem accurate modifiers as well. "What I like to do most," Little says of his law practice, "is to help people solve complicated problems." He specializes in the buying, selling and refinancing of small businesses. Little also derives great satisfaction from "building a strong factual background for legislation. I really like writing legislation," he says. For now, he's content to practice that arcane art in the House. Although he might have been a ready-made replacement for moderate Republican Helen Riehle, who's stepping down from her Chittenden County State Senate seat, Little says he has no interest in serving in the upper chamber. Senators get spread too thin, as they serve on two or three committees, Little suggests. He prefers the "more focused" alternative of having to sit on only one committee in the House. Besides, giving up his Judiciary Committee chairmanship and having to enter a Chittenden County musical chairs-style Senate race are of limited appeal. That doesn't mean Little won't run for higher office, however. He's open-minded, he says with characteristic caution, about the possibility of leapfrogging into a statewide race. Governor Little? Perhaps future historians will have to add that honorific as they recount the career of the man who wrote Vermont's most revolutionary piece of social legislation. ® Tom Little provides legal counsel for Seven Days.

hile awaiting the evening Amtrak out in Essex Junction, I've taken to playing ball against the side of the station building. Recently, a company in Taiwan has begun producing "Spaldings," the pink rubber ball of my youth. W h a t cost a quarter in the early '60s is now sold to nostalgic baby boomers at Mills & Greer for $3.99. So I practice my curve ball and my slider, and spend the next day trying to ignore my aching shoulder and back. Such is middle age. At the bus stop next to the station one night in early July, I noticed a boy astride a BMX bicycle watching me intently. H e rode over closer to me and got off his bike. "Hey Mister, do you know when the next bus is?" he asked, as I tossed another one against the wall. I snared the rebound and turned to face him directly. "Yeah, I do," I said. "There's a bus at a quarter to nine. That's about 15 minutes from now." "Thanks, Mister," he said, and stood there leaning against his bike. H e looked about nine or 10, with brown hair and thick bangs that fell just above round, dark eyes. His frame was lanky, and the size of his sneakers suggested he was due for a big growth spurt over the next year. There was a relaxed, open feeling in the way he held his body — no sign of the hardness or assumed swagger you see in adolescent boys. I recommenced throwing the ball against the wall, as the kid, still watching, stood 10 feet to my left. T h e n I tossed it at an angle, so it caromed toward my new acquaintance. H e caught it cleanly, threw it back at the wall, and I caught the rebound on a bounce. T h e two of us played this way for a few minutes, silent and grinning, the way guys do. "Hey, what's your name?" I asked, as I threw a hard one high up on the wall. H e back-pedaled a step and made a nice overhead catch of the big bounce. "Christopher Snow," he said. "You know, I rode here from Winooski." "You don't say?" I replied. "That's a long ride. W h a t street in Winooski d'ya live on?"

"I don't live in Winooski. I live in Missouri. I've been staying with my M o m and little brother in a hotel this summer. We came here to visit my Mom's boyfriend. She met him on the Internet." "What about your Dad? Is he back in Missouri?" "No, my Dad's dead. H e died when I was little." "That's too bad, Christopher." I held the ball in my hands for a m o m e n t before resuming the game. " W h a t about your Mom's boyfriend? Is he an okay guy? D'ya like him?" Christopher scrunched up his face, and now it was his turn to cup the ball and pause. It

ride for free." As if on cue, the Essex bus appeared at the end of the street. I took out my wallet. "Christopher, here's a buck. You know, just in case this bus driver doesn't know you." Christopher took the dollar and slid it into his trouser pocket. His pants hung low and baggy, the way the boys like them these days. "Thanks, Mister," he said, and shot me a warm, crooked smile. I had a keen urge to pick him up and give him a long hug. This kid is ready for life, I thought. Whether he ends up here or back in Missouri, I had

H e bought me a basketball. It has Grant Hill's name on it. You know, like he signed it!" "That's great," I said. "There's nothing like a Grant Hill signature B-ball. He's a great player." Christopher began our ball game again. T h e n he said, "You didn't ask me what I did today." "I didn't? Jeez, I'm sorry. W h a t did ya do today?" "I played basketball with my friend, Nate, and then we started ridin' our bikes. We rode all over the place. Nate's, like, hyper, so we just kept ridin' and ended up out here.

the strongest sense that he's going to do just fine. Still, I hoped — with a fierce intensity that surprised me — that the Internet guy had a heart big enough to see it through with Christopher and his family. It will be the lucky man, I thought, who gets to be Dad to this boy. Christopher got back on his bike. I walked over to him and extended my hand. I said, "Good luck, Christopher. I'll see ya around." He shook my hand a little shyly — gazing down a bit, then looking up sideways — but his grasp was firm for a small guy. God, it occurred to me, this kid must have one great M o m . "Yeah, I'll see you, Mister," he said, and sped off to catch the bus. ® W&iWB 'Wffifflft

Weekly Mail continued from page 4 S T O P T H E CIRC! Thanks very much for your cover story on the Circ Highway ["Highway Robbery?" July 19]. It was refreshing to read such a provocative and clear treatment of the question. Certainly the key questions are reorienting public priorities and, as you said so well, changing daily driving behaviors. The millions of dollars proposed for the Circ could go a long way to creating a truly "multi-modal" system (including bus, van pool, light rail and bicycle transport) that would attract more public participation. The Catch-22 of public transit is created, at least in part, by an unwillingness to fully subsidize the system. However, the biggest obstacle before us remains a change of consciousness about transportation and, in particular, about commuting to work. There will always be soccer practice and trips to the store, but every day, in the morning or the evening, the cars/trucks/SUVs stream by, one person to a vehicle, going at the same time to the same general location. Commuting by shared transportation will never be as easy or convenient as hopping in the car and going. I am afraid it will take a major increase in cost or an ecological catastrophe to break the disastrously seductive addiction to individual cars. Stop the Circ! Save the planet! — Andy Simon Westford CIRC N O S O L U T I O N Seven Days readers may have seen the recent "Chomp" ads opposing the Circumferential Highway. What's all the fuss? Don't new roads mean more room for cars, less commuter headaches and more fun outings? I enjoy swimming at Indian Brook Reservoir in Essex and hiking Mt. Mansfield, yet don't go as often as I'd like because of traffic congestion. I'd also like to live in Jericho or Underhill, but don't for the same reason. If the Circ is built, driving to these

A section of the Circ has already been built in Essex, and already cars, stores and large housing developments spread out around Exit 15. Much of the land near proposed Circ exits is already zoned for mixed use or commercial development and owned by developers.

Lines erless at the age of three and followed a lonely course, ending up as a Spanish teacher at Vassar. She never married, but was pursued through life by Marion — a faithful friend and sometime lover. In the Name of Salome ties these two stories together, starting at opposite ends of the narrative timeline — near the beginning of Salome's life and in the final years of Camila's. The two threads work their way into the middle, when Salome died of tuberculosis, in 1897. While appealing from a literary standpoint, this device is so obvious that the temptation is to skip immediately to the conclusion in hopes that the stories might become a little more involving. For the record, they do: The final

BY PIP V A U G H A N - H U G H E S

f you judge a book by its cover, chances are you might have bought In the Name of Salome — the latest novel by Middlebury-based Dominican writer Julia Alvarez — on the strength of the first few lines of jacket copy: "This novel tells the story of two women — mother and daughter, one a poet, the other a teacher — and how they confronted the machismo in two Caribbean revolutions. Set in the politically chaotic Dominican Republic of the late 19th century, on the campuses of three American universities, and in the idealistic Communist Cuba of the 1960s, this story is based on the real lives of a volatile, opinionated, romantic, intrigue-loving family." Unfortunately, the book turns out to be proof that in literature, as in life, it always pays to look beyond the surface — in this case, the hype on the dust cover. While it is J true that Salome is set in ^ Dominica, Cuba and America, the novel is virtually free of ^ volatility, romance, opinion, confrontation or intrigue. It is as if the author was so dazzled i by the potential richness of ' her source material that she forgot that her own input was needed to bring the story alive. Salome Urena was the national poet of the Dominican Republic. Encouraged by her father, a raffish lawyer and politician, she began her career in poetry at an early age, initially writing under a pseudonym. Devoted to la patria, she wrote verses that stirred the newly emerged country, united the people and sparked one of the Republic's many revolutions. Salomes husband Pancho, a charismatic philanderer who served a brief term as the country's president and died in exile, helped burnish his wife's legend after her untimely death at 47. Her daughter Camila, shy and withdrawn, was left moth-

sweaty limbs, but nor should we end up suspecting that it is the author's, not the character's, squeamishness that is on display. Some books get away with being exercises in wonderful writing despite not being "about" anything in particular. In this case, however, there's a fascinating story to be

In a style that is mannered almost businesslike, this novel about a poe scrupulously avoids poetr chapter, in which the three-year-old Camila witnesses her mother's death, is terrific. But at no other time does Alvarez find the dramatic spark that, correctly applied, should ignite this rich story like dry tinder. Thanks to an uneventful epilogue, the book fizzles out like a Roman candle in the rain. Alvarez is everywhere too dainty. It's true that we shouldn't expect predictably exotic pyrotechnics simply because a book has a sub-tropical setting. On the other hand, dramatic tales require a modicum of drama. Camila's struggle with her sexual ambiguity, a primary theme of her story, is presented with almost Victorian delicacy. We don't need to see a tangle of

told that is all the more compelling for its basis in real history and real lives. There is no shortage of wars, epidemics and political coups here. But the interior lives of the characters are barely illuminated. The same holds true for the historical context. Backdrops like "the idealistic Communist Cuba of the 1960s" are almost unidentifiable, except that a couple of people are called companera. There is hardly anything for the mind's eye to work on, and too few descriptions to help the reader construct a world in the imagination. Even this weakness might have been forgivable if the writing itself were enthralling, but it simply is not. In a style that is mannered, almost businesslike, this

novel about a poet scrupulously avoids poetry. Widely scattered fragments of Salome's verse offer only a taste of the woman whose words moved men to take up arms. The poems fail to impress even Camila's Vassar students. One remarks, "They're too bewailing, oh woe is me and my poor suffering country. And martyrdom beneath the fecund palms'! Is this poet supposed to be any good? I never heard of her." After completing this book, readers will have no idea if she is "any good," either. An acclaimed poet herself, Alvarez should have let us make up our own minds. We find out later that Salome's husband Pancho edited her work. It was he who substituted "fecund palms" for her original "brilliant palms." A dominating man altering a woman's verse — you'd think it would be a topic rich with significance, especially to a woman poet. Yet in Salome it merits scarcely more than an academic's nod and wink. "We're all in the know," Alvarez seems to be saying. But we're not. Only in the final chapter does the book come truly alive; at last there is flesh on the dry bones of history. But by then the reader has plowed through 300 pages. Saving the best for last is not a good strategy for long books about obscure subjects. This could have been a marvelous read, and those lured by the come-on of a beguiling subject are all the more likely to be puzzled and disappointed. Never, ever, judge a book by its cover.

atherine Hurst does not believe too many cooks spoil the broth. At least not when it comes to play writing. From the time she first began to craft Cirque du Souffle, which premieres this week at St. Michael's Playhouse, she petitioned family, friends, colleagues, students and, finally, her cast, for feedback on the recipe. In fact, the idea for the kitchen-oriented comedy evolved from a group collaboration in the first place: Hurst, associate professor of theater at SMC, has also been teaching theater arts to students at the New England Culinary Institute for five years. In that eight-week course — created to help future restaurant workers deal with the myriad sticky situations their industry can pose — students cook up an imaginary eatery, its staff and a few customers. At the end, they act out dramatic scenarios — often to hilarious effect — for NECI students and staff.

Is the customer always right? "Yes," responds Hurst after the slightest pause. "And that can be maddening." The NECI class seemed tailor-made for Hurst: She's the daughter of a Florida restaurateur who is past president of the National Restaurant Association. Along with her four siblings, she literally grew up in restaurants and has done nearly every job in the business herself, from "pool girl" at a floating hotel to accountant, Hurst says. Working summers at Dad's 15th Street Fisheries in Fort Lauderdale financed her all the way through a master's in theater at the University of Minnesota. Back then, Hurst did not suspect her years in the food biz would nourish a career as a playwright. The plot thickened when she decided to develop some of those NECI class scenes into a full-length play. "I had the realization," she says, "that this had entertainment potential. With restaurant and theater experience,

I thought we could take this and put it on paper." During a sabbatical last fall, that's exactly what she did. Cirque du Souffle, well, rose. Hurst taught at the University of Las Vegas for eight years before coming to St. Mike's six years ago. Admitting she hated the desert and the heat, she looked only eastward for her next position. Attracted in part by Vermont's greenery and cooler climate, she also liked the fact that the private Colchester-based college offered an undergraduate theater program with a professional theater attached to it. And she's pleased as punch to present the first original, untested play in SMC's 50-year history. One of the triad — with Peter Harrigan and Chuck Tobin — to take the reins of the theater following the retirement of longtime director Donald Rathgeb three years ago, Hurst says her colleagues "took one second" to say yes when she proposed staging Cirque this summer.

held my hand and made suggestions," she adds. "We know this is the wild card this season, but we're OK with that — we'd like to start bringing in new plays to the theater." From the beginning, Hurst imagined putting a couple of actual NECI "chefs" into her play. She ended up with one —

J.J. McDowell, a second-year student in food and beverage management who plays "Zodiac" like a natural. The other is a chef-byassociation, Alek Antczak, the son of Cynthia Belliveau, who was until recently the director of NECI'S B.A. program. Antczak "has done cooking demonstrations and so forth, but he's not a

NECI grad," Hurst clarifies,.,.^ With NECI's rigorous schedule, it Wasn't easy pulling anyone but of class, but McDowell, it North Carolina native with some theater experience under his belt and a soft twang in his voice, willingly stepped forward. "Being in and around restaurants is a theater itself," he declares. "You're performing every night." But Cirque du Souffle A doesn't focus solely on the cooks; an ensemble of 10 — five professional Equity actors and five local amateurs — comprises the staff of the fictitious Pompano restaurant. The youngest cast member is 13-year-old Lilly Tobin, daughter of SMC's Chuck Tobin and Sarah Carleton, an actress and assistant theater professor at the University of Vermont. Lilly brings sass and spunk to the role of Penelope the Bread Girl who, incidentally, is smitten with Max the Chef, played by Antczak. The entire play never leaves the "back of the house," a.k.a. the kitchen — a two-tiered, restored-warehouse-style set designed by Melissa McLearen that includes a walk-in freezer, various work stations and doors to the outside world, a.k.a. the dining room. Cirque du Souffle is a madcap romp through the fortunes —

from dismal to bright — o f the Pompano, and the attendant transformation of its staff from 7$ desultory to reinvigorated. The " turn-around comes when restaurant owner Mr. Freeman — played with a sort of daffy fatal-

Cirque du Souffle is obviously a team effort; Hurst's sharing style is evident, and is echoed by the plot itself.

A Vermont farmer pulls out ali the stops — and the tractors — to establish an ag museum in Vermont BY HELEN HUSHER

he rule while I was growing up was that the tractor lived indoors, and the cars sat in the driveway, exposed to the weather. My foster father once explained this housing arrangement by pointing out that the tractor had to start reliably in all weather, all the time — driveways must be plowed, brush hauled, pastures mowed and trees dragged to the woodshed for slaughter. Cars were for errands, not labor; in the final analysis, cars were decorative and expendable. I know now that this attitude is an early symptom of tractor

fever, but I never questioned the logic of it until I met someone who thought that cars ought to live indoors. I'd seen garages, but had an idea they were for storing skis and freezers. I never caught this particular auto illness on the farm; to be rampant and contagious, the condition seems to require many tractors in one place. Probably the best place to catch it is at the tractor pull, and the odds of infection are increased at any pull restricted to antique tractors, defined as pre-1960. There, a mild and joyous frenzy sets in as the monsters start to growl and crawl and rumble across the field; you can stand among them and the ground vibrates with their purring. Each engine sounds different: Some of them say "tucktuck-tuck," and some of them say "bum-bum-bum," and some of them say flatulent, complex things. The human attendants climb, sit, walk around and admire, but they're dwarfed by the benevolent metal beasts that raise their voices in a chorus. It's like nothing else, though I

confess it sounds pretty boring. Tractors make their livings pulling things. This is a tractor pull. What's the big deal? The big deal is that agriculture brings with it an aesthetic that is sunstruck and practical, but is also endangered. Warren Preston, a Randolph Center farmer and one of the founding lights of the Vermont Agricultural Museum, talks about "keeping a living history, keeping the connections to farming alive."

Seven years later the museum, as a practical matter, does not exist. "We finally bought the land in the summer of 1999," says Preston, "and the town of Randolph helped out with the financing, but we are still amending and working on the Act 250 permits. This part has been an education for us. It's been complicated."

and the heavy sled the tractors will hitch to has an intimidating name: "The Little Humiliator." It's a kind of tractor heaven, and as the games begin, it becomes an essay in the variety, poise and expressiveness of individual pieces of machinery. Most of the tractors are battered, patched and scarred with honest labor; they seem alive even when not running. One specimen, a carefully restored 1938 John Deere A, takes the top pulling prizes in two categories, dragging the sled steadily and earnestly across the field, The machine is owned by Gene Vossler of Morrisville and is the oldest trac-

The museum's July tractorpull fundraiser and "consciousness raising" is about money, but it doesn't cost much to get in. Three bucks buys you two days of unrelenting growling, a kind of tractor rodeo that includes tests of driving skill, tractor games, garden tractors, tractors by weight, tractors by age and tractors in rows for our general edification. The setting for the 2000 pull is a large green field with long views to the south and west to Pico and Killington. Tents and flags have been raised, so that the event has the heraldic air of a jousting contest. The long pulling pit with its orange cones looks curiously dangerous,

tor in the competition. The Deere says "rum-rumrum"; the next tractor to pull, a 1958 Oliver, says "able-bodied, able-bodied, able-bodied." When it reaches the far limit of its pulling abilities, the Oliver lifts its front wheels about a foot off the ground and just for a moment looks like a pony. I want one, almost desperately, and when I say this out loud a young, lively farmer nearby offers to show me a tractor he has back home. I don't want to explain to him that I live in town on a quarter-acre lot. I want to see the tractor; clearly I have picked up the bug. Warren Preston also has the fever, but his symptoms are under control. "The idea," he says, "is to collect the oral history of farming and make these videos, and show them so that people see the connection between the machines and a whole way of life. We have more than just tractors being donated," he continues; "we have balers and choppers and all kinds of tools, and we want to be able to show the videos and pictures and have visitors understand that internal-combustion machinery is what made Vermont agriculture what it is."

The Little Humiliator" Equally daunting are the financial logistics — Preston estimates the non-profit museum board needs to raise about $800,000 to build the museum structure and make the needed site improvements. The goal is to develop the 51 -acre site in Randolph Center to encompass demonstration fields, displays, a gift shop and parking. "Almost everyone we have talked to has been supportive," says Preston. "By this I mean Rural Development, the town, the Department of Agriculture, the Chamber of Commerce, Soil Conservation, banks and businesses. We seem to have everything we need except the money." He frowns when he says "money." The word worries him.

Deere Hunting Continued from page 21 — trouble with debt, urban encroachment, prices and the cost of production. There is even trouble with hiring skilled help and coping with neighbors — agriculture is noisy and fragrant, and in the 21st century, it's hard to sell people on a profession that does not offer full benefits and paid vacations. It seems that everywhere you poke at farming a little more of the stuffing comes out. Its easy to forget there were times in our state's history when things were worse, and that the advent of heavy machinery made farming both easier and more profitable. T h e Vermont Agricultural Museums emphasis on post-war agriculture, with its industrial overtones, is without nostalgia but historically sound. Preston admits the museums permitting problems and money woes discourage him. "I won't say it hasn't been difficult; it has," he says. "But we just have to keep working on it and working on it." Creating the ag museum is laborious, but it does have its interesting philosophical moments: T h e museum recently became a member of the local chamber of commerce, despite the obvious absence of any ticket sales, exhibit space or programming. T h e idea seems to have its own stubborn reality, just as real

as the tractors themselves. It certainly seems that way when the antique machine-beasts begin thrumming, calling and milling around like dinosaurs. O n c e you invoke this kind

new exhibit at the Shelburne Museum is for those willing to stop, look and really listen. "Gather 'Round: Tales of New England's Workaday World" provides a portal into the past, and is a worthwhile exercise in an age where entertainment often relies more on soundtracks than screenplays to generate emotion, and where character development is forsaken for special effects. Suitably housed in the Museum's Round Barn, "Gather 'Round" features five simple walk-in" "environments" in which visitors can hear 17 first-person accounts of everyday life in 20thcentury New England. The first-

of-its-kind project — which puts visitors in the storytellers' workplace — captured major grants from the prestigious Lila WallaceReader's Digest Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts. Designed by Tim Cramer from Exhibit A Design Group in New York City, "Gather 'Round" consists of five sparse, yet suggestive, interactive tableaux in which soft, faded colors create an ambiance suggestive of the past. Like great theater, these sets ignite imaginations. Each one hosts several stories representing a specific place and time — ski resort warming hut, fishing h u t , farmhouse kitchen, diner and general store — and include black-and-white photographs of the storytellers. Their recorded

voices — oral histories collected by the Vermont Folklife Center of Middlebury — spring from speakers, handheld sound sticks and a few random props, including a talking box of chocolates. Visitors activate the sound, which sometimes overlaps and swirls around the room just as it does in real-life public spaces. "Their narratives speak of courage, tragedy and humor, and demonstrate the enduring power of traditional storytelling, even in todays high-tech world of com-

munication," explains Jane Beck, director of Vermont Folklife and developer of the concept. Her program, the New England Storytelling Project, devoted two years to gathering some 120 multi-generational, multi-ethnic stories from the Canadian border to Connecticut. It's reminiscent of the WPA's Federal Writers' Project, which recorded Depression-era folklore for posterity. "It's a whole different way of understanding the world," adds Beck, admitting the idea was

somewhat risky. "Rather than visual, it's audio. But the stories are what I call 'touchstone stories' — key moments and events in people's lives. They tell these stories over and over again until they become like artifacts, or a prized photograph." In fact, "Gather 'Round" is what Norman Rockwell's slice-ofAmerican-life illustrations — also on display at the Shelburne Museum — might sound like if they could talk. As you enter the first environment — a front porch facade of a

Other deserving voices include a seventh-generation African-American family from Maine, a pair of Portuguese fishermen in Connecticut and a Laotian refugee in Rhode Island. "Leaving Laos in the middle of the night, trying to flee from the communists, was very dangerous," relates Vang, a recent

"For instance, in the case of a family tragedy, it can be more of a compulsion than a pleasure. But this is another value of storytelling: It enables everyone involved to talk the event through, each from their own point of view. In this way, a fact becomes a story." A gondola from Sugarloaf Mountain, circa 1965, hosts the stories of loggers at odds with man, machine and Mother Nature.

"You hear all this — bombs going off and gunshots. We were fortunate that all of us survived the trip. I just thank God. I think the ancestors were watching us." They may be watching still.

SWIMMING IN THE MAINSTREAM If phans haven't snatched up the entire supply, check out the coverage — with an cover photo of Trey Anastasio — of Phisli in the August 4 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Billed as "The Essential Guide to the New Phab Four," the article is Phish in a nutshell — if you can call 10 pages a nutshell. In addition to less-than-flattering "under water" photos (our boys have never been vain), there's a fairly typical journalist/fan article wrapped around lots of sidebars. These include infobytes such as the obligatory Meet the BeatleS-style like/dislike profiles, e.g., Favorite Character in "The Sopranos" (Anastasio: "Paulie Walnuts"); Favorite Thing About Living in Vermont {Jon Fishmail: "No billboards and lots of space"); Favorite Guilty Pleasure (Page McConnell: "Driving a big car"); Bush, Gore or Nader? (Mike Gordon: Bernie Sanders, Vermont's U.S. rep). Etc. Other statistics help convey what is meant by a "cult" band: Total concert grosses from 1996 to 1999: $93,100,979. Number of No. 1 hit singles by Phish: O. You also get an album-by album analysis, an alphabet glossary of people, places and

things important in the Phish lexicon, and instructions for the nonindoctrinated on how to behave at Phish concerts. The sappiest entry by far: a gushing "virgin" account ("Touched for the Very Phirst Time") of a Phish show by Timothy "Speed" Levitch, something of a cult figure himself in New York. The fun for Vermonters? Being able to read all this and say, "I knew that." SCREEN IDYLLS Burlington filmmaker Keith Spiegel has been fiddling around with his movie Groupies for a while now. So long that some of the musicians on the soundtrack — the former Lindy Pear, Yep!, Neil Cleary — are probably wondering when the heck he's going to make them famous. Looks like they shouldn't hold their collective breath, but maybe can start breathing a little easier. Spiegel is offering a free screening (hmmm, sounds medical) of the 85-minute film, now titled The Junior Defenders, this Thursday at 242 Main. Set almost entirely in Vermont, the film is a comedy about a deranged dude who kidnaps members of a former TV superhero show ("The Junior Defenders") and makes them create another episode.

THE SOPRANOS Local singer and vocal coach Jill Levis says she's feeling like "a proud musical parent" this week, what with two former students coming home to perform in the Grand Finale Concert of the Mozart Festival and the Oriana Singers this Saturday at Shelburne Farms. Sarah Cullins, daughter of Tom and Kelley Cullins of Burlington, and Helen Lyons, daughter of Dr. Richard and Virginia Lyons ofWilliston, graduated from BHS ('91) and CVU ('92), respectively. Cullins is now a graduate student at the Mannes School of Music in NYC, while Lyons is at the Royale Academy of Music in London. Amadeus would be proud, too. SINGLE TRACKS The guy many musicians know as the ultimate Fender amp man, Bill Carruth, is recouping from surgery to remove a cancerous kidney, and reportedly is A-OK. Our warm wishes for a speedy recovery . . . Burlington's DysFunkShun continues to kick ass on stage and on-line — and with a new bass man, Brett Greaves . . . Montpelier's Capitol Grounds launches a new "Tuesday night at 5" music series with acoustic blues from Derrick S e m l e r . . . Higher Ground's week got a whole lot

shorter with the double cancellations of folk legend Tom Rush (Saturday) and Jurassic 5 (Tuesday). The,latter was due to the broken collarbone of Beastie Boy Mike D —Jurassic was on the BB/Rage Against the Machine tour, all of which has now been cancelled. But don't cry in your beer; both shows should get makeup dates this fall . . . Former Burlington rockers Bag of Panties finally return from NYC this Friday at Metronome, with Boston powerpopsters Make Lisa Rich and local lo-fiers Missy Bly . . . Vermont blues prodigy Seth YacOVOne and his band just procured an opening slot for the great Ray Charles, October 12 at Lowell (MA) Memorial Auditorium . . . Vermont's new state song, "These Green Mountains," penned by Diane Martin, makes its commercial debut in a TV spot for VPIRG, running during news shows this month on Ch 22. Interestingly, it's for the Vermont Frog Survey, making the link between deformed amphibians and pesticides . . . Following last week's report that MP3's tour guys stiffed local songstress Kate Barclay for her performance at the music Web site's showcase at Club Metronome last month, we have this update: Club owner Mark Gauthier took it upon himself to pay the lovely Kate, adding that the tour's manager was the most obnoxious, rude and unprofessional person he'd ever dealt with. So much for virtual virtue . . . Burlington tech-rockers Chainsaws and Children just played at DefCom, the hacker convention in Las Vegas, and head for L.A. this week . . . ®

Those Less Fortunate

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEw

BELA FLECK & THE FLECKTONES, OUTBOUND (Columbia Records, CD) — Bela Fleck himself produced his latest recording, Outboundwith the Flecktones, and it has all the earmarks of Fleck's exacting, genre-bending taste in tunage. A brief, cabaret-esque intro leads directly into the appropriately titled "Hoe Down," an uptempo instrumental dance with hillbilly and urban moves. From densely layered to sparse and back again, the song wastes no time demonstrating the band's many strengths. "A Moment So Close" is a crazy-quilt of Middle Eastern arpeggios, compressed acid-style vocals, disco-paced female vocals and citified jazz, led by the cooler-than-thou sax work of multi-reed man Jeff Coffin. O n this, as on other tunes on Outbound, Fleck's banjo really is outbound — that is, takes a back seat to the more conventional instruments of jazz and funk, and atmospheric embellishments. That's not to say there's anything conventional about this disc, however. The Flecktones just seem to get more sophisticated by the minute. This is dramatic, excruciatingly well-produced music that strains the vocabulary for adjectives. The C D cover art itself— the band on a subway train — hints at the freewheeling, fastpaced urban tracks within. "Zona Mona" brings back the banjo in solos layered over sax melody and jazzy bass and drums from Victor Lemonte Wooten and "Future Man," respectively. The appealing, airy tune has a hint of melancholy, like a vestige of

bluegrass blue — though Fleck has brought his instrument a long way from those Americana roots. The banjo percolates against the mysterious, almost dreary backdrop of "Hall of Mirrors." Here Fleck and Coffin play call-andresponse — a jazzy conversation punctuated occasionally by a choral bridge. It's a meditation more than a song, seemingly structureless, but Wooten's sure-footed, deep-pitched bass girds even the floatiest tunes on Outbound, like a chaperone who just barely intrudes. While "space" is certainly a tangible frontier on this project, all Fleck's tunes have a sense of propulsion, driving — though not always at top speed — to some unspecific destination. "Earth Jam," for instance, keeps things jazzy, but is highly arranged. Its staccato energy in an odd time signature feels a little frenetic but never out of control. Popping guitar work from guest Adrian Belew trades sonic duties with melting sax work. Outbound benefits, too, from a slew of extraordinary and wellplaced guest musicians, including Belew, singers Shawn Colvin and Jon Anderson, acoustic bassist Edgar Meyer, B-3 organist John Medeski and tabla player Sandip Burman, among others. This much talent might make for a busy stew in less skilled hands, but Fleck's sense of orchestration is

unerring. The worst that can be said about Outbound is that it begins to bog down near the end — but that could be attributed to ear fatigue. Perhaps recognizing that too much of a good thing can be bad, the banjo man goes out with a simpler tune, "That Old Thing," which, though original, has the light, uncomplicated feel of a vintage jazz standard. Outbound is bound to stay a spell on the frequent-play pile for old and new fans alike. Catch a live sample when the Flecktones and their pals Medeski, Martin & Wood arrive at Bolton's Alpine Stage this Monday. — Pamela Polston SANITY, SANITY (self-released, cassette) — Sanity is a three-piece modern punk-rock unit formed a few years back in Montpelier, but apparently coming straight outta Essex Junction these days. These conscious youths tear it up on their recent self-titled, three-song cassette. Let's face it, it takes a lot of work to even be able to play this high-octane, high-speed music convincingly. Unfortunately, the velocity and enregy are more memorable than the songs. Despite being recorded in just one session with Joe Egan at Eclipse, this tape features solid guitar, vocal and snare sounds, but there are problems with a clicky kick drum and muddy bass. Drummer Zack Bruno contributes wicked fills and double-kick work on the strong opener, "UnderOath," while guitarist/vocalist Adam Meilleur chops away fast and tight. Meilleur's singing is heartfelt, but a bit monotonous. Bassist Kasey Gonyaw holds down the bottom, but gets a little lost in the mix. The voice of Sanity is a positive one, and they've got the spark and chops. A little more attention to song craft and they'll stand out even further from the pack. — Paul Gibson

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR 2: THE KLUMPS** 172 What's Eddie Murphy hiding from? I'm no psychiatrist, but there's got to be something to the way the once untoppable boxoffice star has emerged from years of glaring failure cloaked so frequently beneath layers of latex makeup — in the case of the Nutty Professor films, literally buried alive inside a colossal fat man. In the comedian's latest, The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps, the disappearing act continues and, in fact, escalates to a sort of disintegration as the performer splits into six separate personalities over the course of the effects-dependent story.

Could Murphy perhaps be acting out on screen the most elaborately documented psychic collapse in history, withdrawing into a succession of rubber-coated characters in an effort to find the approval that eluded him when he appeared sans makeup in mid-career duds like Beverly Hills Cop 3, Harlem Nights, Boomerang and The Distinguished Gentleman? Let's take a look at the case history: Murphy flirted with the combination of wearing latex and playing multiple characters as far back as 1988's Coming to America, arguably the actor's professional zenith. After a string of flops that stretched into the mid'90s, Murphy pulled the concept off the shelf, dusted it off and tried it again in the 1995 film A Vampire in Brooklyn. T h e picture tanked, but its star nonetheless seemed unwilling to face the camera without layers of camouflage. T h e following year Murphy hit pay dirt with the approach as the success of the first Nutty Professor remake took the industry by surprise and breathed new

life into the comic's career. His confidence tentatively restored, Murphy returned to the screen later that year in Metro without makeup and, significantly, without success. Since then he's been the poster boy for the latex industry, costarring in 1999 with Martin Lawrence under pounds of the stuff while doing Life and reprising the rubbery roles of not only Sherman Klump but the entire Klump clan in the sequel just released. T h e diagnosis, I think, is clear: N o t only is Murphy in the grip of a powerful substance dependency, the condition evidently is contagious! Murphy's Life costar, Lawrence, had his own latex-based comedy, Big Momma's House, in theaters this summer. Somebody write a prescription for Prozac, or maybe mood elevators, fast. No, not for Murphy. For everyone who buys a ticket to this film. OK, that might be a slight exaggeration. You could probably have a sufficiently good time assisted by nothing stronger than, say, a couple hits of Xanax, or a six-pack. You're going to need something. T h e movie sure does. W h a t it most definitely does not need, though, is more Murphy. By now you know the story: T h e comedian plays both the jumbo professor and virtually the balance of his cantankerous, foulmouthed family. Janet Jackson costars as the beautiful scientist who's agreed to become his wife. W h e n the big boy decides it wouldn't be fair to marry her with traces of his slimy alter-ego Buddy Love still inside him, and alters his own D N A in a hightech effort to expel him, all psychological hell breaks loose. It turns out the experiment has the unforeseen effects of making

Love part dog and causing the world-renowned professor to grow stupider by the second. He finds himself in a race against the clock as he tries to track down Love and recombine with him. All of which is more or less beside the point, because what the movie's really about is the rest of the family, a loud, crude, gluttonous gaggle of caricatures, each played by M u r p h y from within a different zip-lock skin. T h e Klumps are like a roundthe-clock marathon of "Family Feud," only with bodily noises. Relatives yell at one another so relentlessly it's often difficult to hear what any given character is saying. Nine times out of 10, though, what they're saying is something so sexually graphic you wonder where you got the idea this was a picture to which you could bring the kids. To be fair, there are a halfdozen or so pretty hilarious moments. Director Peter (Tommy Boy) Segal does a seamless job of cutting and pasting all of Murphy's incarnations into a single frame, and the naked Buddybaby deserves a sequel all to himself. T h a t said, the question remains: What's the point of making a movie too silly for adults to care about and too adult for their young children to see? O f course, that's just one of many questions lingering over the strange case of Eddie Murphy, who, from behind all that latex makeup, just had himself the biggest opening weekend of his career. It should be interesting to see what happens from here, and whether he will continue to feel the need to hide in order to find whatever it is he seeks. ®

SEARCHING, UPSIDE DOWN?

Inside Track continued from page 5 House B&B, told Seven Days that seven Dwyer signs posted along Rt. 9 in Wilmington disappeared recently around the time Gov. Dean was in the area inspecting flood damage. He said he believed state workers from the transportation department took them. He's right. The AOT's District 1 administrator, Wayne Gammell, came clean Tuesday and told Seven Days he's the culprit who personally snatched those Ruth Dwyer campaign signs. The reason, he said, was not political, but rather that they were placed too close to the right-of-way. According to regulations, no signs of any kind can be placed within 24 feet, 9 inches of the highway center line. "It's a safety issue," said Gammell. And, yes, Mr. Gammell does get out the tape measure to be sure the signs are in violation before he takes them. The reason he's only taken Ruth Dwyer campaign signs, he said, is because "they're the only ones out there." He told Seven Days the Dwyer signs were removed to the local highway garage, where they will be held for 90 days. If unclaimed, they will be tossed in the trash. Down the line we expect more candidates to get their lawn signs out there. It's going to be a very hot election season. It might be a good idea if the campaigns inform their dedicated supporters about the 24-foot, 9-inch rule. It would certainly reduce the level of political conspiracy theories in the Green Mountains. For Katy — Yours truly first met Katy McGiff years ago when she took over the front desk at the late, great Vanguard Press in the 1980s. Katy came from a big Irish-American family on Philadelphia's Main Line, but her upper-crust upbringing was smothered by her down-to-earth personality. She graduated Middlebury College in the early '80s and, soon after, headed for Burlington, the town she loved so well. As those who knew her can attest, Katy McGiff could always be counted on to be a spark in the darkness. She brought to the table a passion for life, and she had the special trait of treating strangers like family. Katy was a talker and a questioner, a dreamer and a devil's advocate. And she was someone who always told it like it was. Katy was anything but a shy one. With two sisters and two brothers, there simply was no room for shyness. And she was a loyal fan of this column, God bless her. Passing her post at the Vanguard front desk, yours truly always counted on being called to task over this or that item in the latest "Inside Track." And she'd do it with that beautiful, wide Irish smile that could melt the steel off an armored car. Katy could challenge you and inspire you all at once, and we were much the better for it.

After her Vanguard days, Ms. McGiff moved on to other, bigger and better venues. She later fell in love with and married Chris Burns, a wonderful fellow, and they bought an old frame house on lower North Avenue in Burlap. Two years ago, the two of them brought little Lena into the world. Tuesday morning, as we were working on this weeks column, we got a phone call that brought the bad news. Katy just never woke up Monday morning. She died in her sleep. She was 40 years old. Needless to say, the news made yours truly cease all the bother about the Vermont political landscape. About the little stink over campaign signs and the behind-the-scenes machinations of the high and mighty. Through warm tears on a rainy day, we recalled the spark in Katy McGiff's eye, the bright glow of that smile on her lips, the lilt in her voice. And, I swear, I could almost hear that voice telling yours truly to quit the blubbering and get back to the damn computer and write the best goddamn column humanly possible, and don't be late! The only way to do that this week, to write the best goddamn column possible, is to tell you about Katy McGiff. One of the things we shared was our love for the late, great Chicago columnist Mike Royko. In fact, Mike's mug is forever over my desk. Royko knew moments like this one when sadness hits like a tidal wave. And he wrote about it. Twenty-one years ago, in an unforgettable column that followed the sudden death of his wife from a brain hemorrhage, Mike thanked readers for their tender expressions of sorrow and love. And he wrote this line, which I've always cherished, a line that rises to the top like cream. It's a reminder for the living left behind in sudden, tragic moments like this one, and wiser words you'll never hear. "If there's someone you love," wrote Royko, "but haven't said so in a while, say it now. Always, always say it now." Amen, Mike. If Katy's soul is in a spot where souls keep an eye on the ones they left behind, she will definitely visit the Seven Days Web site and read this week's installment aloud to the angels. And with that grin on her face, she'll make some crack about how she had to bloody well drop dead to get her name in "Inside Track." Well yeah, Katy, and we even double-checked the spelling, too. See what I mean? Even in passing, Ms. McGiff brightens a room. Turns tears of sadness into tears of laughter. I don't believe she would have it any other way. And, Katy, save me a spot, and will ya for gawdssakes ask them if they ever thought of starting a weekly newspaper up there? Kind of an alternative, heavenly weekly? (Z)

Dear Tom and Ray: I'm the original owner of a '94 Nissan Sentra with 125,000 miles on it. It came equipped with the 1.6-liter engine that has thus far been outstanding, except for its lack of power. I am a private investigator and spend approximately 12-15 hours a day in my vehicle, much of the time with the engine idling and the air conditioner on. But in the past 25,000 miles, I have begun to experience valve clatter when the engine has been running for a while. It only happens when I've been sitting for extended periods of time with the air conditioner running, or when I'm engaged in extended stopand-go city driving with the AC on. It never happens under normal driving conditions, even on hilts or with a load in the car. I do all my own repairs and maintenance, and I have always changed the oil every 3,000

miles. Do you know what's making the noise? — Frank T O M : I think I do, Frank. But first, I need to correct something. In your letter, you said it doesn't happen when you have "a load in the car." The correct expression is to "impose a load on the engine." Having "a load in the car" implies that you're transporting my brother. RAY: In any case, Frank, I think you have SLOP (Severely Low Oil Pressure). T O M : Here's what's happening. When you sit for an extended period of time — staking out a perp, eating pound after pound of pistachio nuts — your engine gets hotter and hotter. Running the air conditioning only adds to the heat in the engine. RAY: And when the engine operating temperature gets really high, the oil gets thinner and the oil pressure drops. Yours is dropping low enough that you get Cengine noise. W h y yUU n S ' " C n o i ! > c - so is your your pressure pressure dropping dropping so : low? It could be that you have a weak oil p u m p or that your

engine is wearing out and the spaces between parts are getting bigger (this would not be unheard of after 100,000 miles). T O M : So you have a few choices, depending upon how committed you are to this car and how much money you want to spend. The cheapest solution is ro try a thicker oil. A 20-W50 weight oil may solve the problem, at least for a while. RAY: But if you're looking to get more than a few months out of this car, you can spend a few hundred bucks and install a new oil pump. If the problem is being caused by a weak pump, you'd notice the exact symptoms you describe. T O M : And if a new oil pump doesn't solve the problem, then you need an engine rebuild or a new/used engine. But before you go to that extreme, make sure the rest of car deserves a new engir thoroughly checl mechanic you trust! dropping that kinc on it.

SEVEN DAYS muHj**e '

3 - 1Q ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Aries painter Vincent van Gogh sliced off the lobe of his ear in the name of love. Aflame with romantic madness, the unappreciated genius hoped to impress his favorite whore at a nearby brothel with a unique gift. Unfortunately, the bloody snip of flesh did not serve its intended purpose. The woman fainted at the sight of it. Let this be a cautionary tale for you, Aries. I can assure you that love is capable of inspiring explosive creativity in you these days. Just make sure that the way you express it is not only a testament to your passionate brilliance but also something that's actually desired by the object of your affections.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): The monsters under your bed have been quite docile lately. The goblins in your closet also seem to have mellowed. Let's see if we can trick them — I mean coax them — into continuing to be on their best behavior. What do you want to bet we might even train them to lick rather than bite, to croon rather than growl? Here's an idea. Speak to them as if you were a hypnotist on a New Age self-help cassette, gently repeating affirmations like "You are a talented singer of lullabyes and love to make people feel at home in the world." Another suggestion: Leave cookies and milk under the bed and in the closet on every new moon and full moon.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): I've always wanted to read Canterbury Tales, the masterpiece of 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Widely acknowledged to be a seminal text in the development of English poetry, it would no doubt make me a better and more interesting person. Alas, the damn thing is more than 600 pages long and written in indecipherable Middle English. With my all-consuming duties to my readers, I simply don't have time to wrestle with it. My

QUARIUS (Jan 20

solution: Read the 78-page Cliff's Notes version in Modern English. I highly recommend you seek analogous shortcuts this week, Gemini. In fact, let this epigram be your guide: If it's quite impossible to do the totally right thing, find a way to do the halfright thing.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The hydrangea bush outside my door is flourishing. Most of its exuberant purple-pink blooms jut jauntily sunward. But one flower — the biggest one — is weighed down by its prodigious vitality. So heavy is its gorgeous paroxysm of petals that it has become too ponderous for its stem to hold it up. It's now slumped on the concrete next to the soil from which it grows. I hate to say it, my fellow Cancerian, but this sad spectacle reminds me of one of our tribe's typical flaws. We are sometimes prone to clinging overprotectively to the extravagant beauty we feel building up inside us. It's like we're 12 months pregnant but still not ready to deliver. As a result, our gifts remain hidden within us, weighing us down and causing emotional congestion. Please avoid this fate in the coming weeks. Give liberally of your bounty. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Welcome to your vocabulary lesson, class. We'll be studying two related terms. The first is epiphany. Webster's defines it thusly: "a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something; an intuitive grasp of reality through a simple and striking event." What the dictionary doesn't say is that this aha! experience typically inspires a sweet, dreamy state of oneness with the universe. O u r second word today is smart-ass epiphany. In addition to the benefits of a mere epiphany, a smart-

ass epiphany packs a fiery, aggressive punch. It often moves you to cackle or unleash a wicked joke. In the wake of it, you feel a spectacular decisiveness about what concrete actions must be taken to infuse righteous order into the sloppy places of your life. (P.S. You're scheduled for a smart-ass epiphany this week.)

on the other hand, fueled by idealism. They sought the freedom to practice their strict religious principles unhampered by the decadence of Old World cultures. What does this have to do with you, Scorpio? I urge you to imitate both approaches. Your next incursions into the frontier will thrive best if you're motivated by both selfish and noble intentions.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What explains your freaky forays into altered states of logic, Virgo? A brandnew allergy? Possession by spirits that can't decide if they're demonic or angelic? An overload of guilt leading to a collapse of your defense mechanisms, allowing a flood of repressed emotions to wash your brain clean of all certainties? Whatever the cause, I advise you to go with the overflow. As disorienting as it may seem now, it'll lead to a sweet, rich lucidity if you don't resist it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I'm detecting hairline fractures in some of your oldest pet theories. From the standpoint of your priest or rabbi or guru, this might be a dangerous sign — a mandate to shore up your attachments to tradition and conventional wisdom. But if you ask me, it's a very exciting development. I take it to mean you're becoming increasingly receptive to hot, fresh data that contradict your most rigid dogmas. While the authority figures in your life might counsel you to drop everything and patch up those cracks, I hope you pick up a sledgehammer and swing it with uninhibited glee.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Traditionally, the Seven Deadly Sins — actions most likely to wound the soul — are pride, lust, gluttony, anger, envy, sloth and covetousness. But I'd like to propose a different set of soulharmers for you, Libra. The Five Foolish Flaws are as follows: being analytical to such extremes that you repress your intuition; observing the action from a safe remove rather than leaping into the messy but fun fray; sacrificing your pleasure through a compulsive attachment to duty; tolerating excessive stress because you assume it's normal; and denying yourself your well-deserved rewards out of fear of appearing selfish.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Rick Fields, former editor of the magazine Yoga Journal had impeccable credentials as an intelligent seeker of enlightenment. His book Chop Wood, Carry Water contains practical strategies for adopting spiritual principles to daily life, while his How the Swans Came to the Lake is a well-respected narrative of the history of Buddhism in America. In light of the tranquil grace for which he was renowned, some people were shocked at the chapbook he penned after contracting lung cancer a few years ago. Fuck You, Cancer was the title. The adversary you now face, Pisces, is nowhere near as dire as Fields', but I urge you to draw inspiration from both his Buddhist calm and his fierce warrior's spirit as you carry on your fight. ®

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Let's just acknowledge that none of us is likely to find happiness with a soulmate until we master the art of loving ourselves with great ingenuity. That's why I'm a passionate advocate of a new sacrament: getting married to yourself. I believe it should be the initial step in creating a successful relationship with a significant other. Are you game, Capricorn? It's prime time, astrologically speaking, to create your own rite of matrimony. Here's a suggestion for the conclusion: Gaze into a mirror and vow, "I will never forsake you; I will always cherish you; I will do with you what the spring does to the cherry trees."

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Half a millennium ago, the French and Spanish flocked to the New World driven by a greed for financial gain. The first English settlers came,

7D (

Feb. 18): Mozart believed that ost musicians display their •skills more readily when they can play quickly; it's harder to be a slow-moving maestro. As a rock singer for 20 years, I've always found it tempting to rely on my most booming, raucous tones at the expense of my more sensitive proclivities. I hope these two factoids inspire you in reverse this week, Aquarius. All the astrological oracles I've consulted have assured me that you will meet most success in the week ahead if you're gradual and subtle and voluptuously crafty.

Dear Lcla, I am a single lesbian who ejaculates. I wcnder when is the appropriate time to tell a date. I date a woman and we always get physical at her home. Do I protect the couch or keep her expectations low? Do I stop the heat of) the moment or mention it early in the relationship? Wet in Waterbury Dear Wet The appropriate time to announce your ejaculatory powers is after the heat goes up, but before the faucets open. With the right timing, tone and intent, you can even craft your confession as an amatory comment. Try, "Oooh, that feels scoco good; let me just slip this towel under us so we don't mess up your couch." Or, "Mmmm, that's nice; let's put down this cloth so I don't wet your floor." Or, "Ahhh, that's right. Hold on while I move over to the sink so we don't add any extra dressing to the salad." Or, "Baby, if you keep turning me on like that, how will you explain the mess to your piano tuner? Let's finish up on the couch." Love, sp m
