How would you live the rock and roll life? What's my budget?
— David White Musician, London England I'd do a lot of scenestealing, trotting around the globe.
— Karen Griffin Owner, Libby's Blue Line Diner Colchester I'd find the remotest spot to live in, where no one could turn up on my doorstep without a long trek through the wilderness .
— Mark Morey Head mechanic, Earthycars.com Williston I'd like to balance my decadence with philanthropy.

TAKE BACK SIGNS Last month, my neighbors in three homes in our village marked their houses by attaching signs designed to inspire folks to "Take Back Vermont." Last week, folks spray-painted our village bridge with the message, "If you can legalize fags, why not weed?" and in the same paint colors just down the street, shouted, "Take Back Vermont." I guess the signs which my neighbors posted did serve as a source of inspiration. P.S. Several of my neighbors who have not marked their houses with signs got together and removed the spray-painted inspirations from the bridge. — Chris Sellers North Troy PRAISE FOR PRISON PIECE 1 must call Marc Awodey to task for failing to mention Delia Robinsons "Troubled LandscapeMaximum Security Democracy" in his review of the Stowe sculpture show ["Out There," August 2]. At first glance the piece resembles a bike rack for the Jolly Green Giant. But, on closer inspection, it is a scathing and provocative look at our country's system of (in)justice. The layers of magazine images glued into the enormous frame, and the subtle strands of barbed wire wrapped well above eye level, changed my view of the "bike rack" into nothing less than the bars of a massive prison cell. At once, I felt a sense of imprisonment, despite the pastoral surroundings of Stowe's bike path. It is, quite simply, a transformative piece. I hope the show's visitors give it the time it deserves. — Michael Levine Middlesex
S O P H O M O R I C SUMMER TIPS Yuck. Chris Barry's article, "The Chaud Must Go On" [July 26], was a sophomoric piece of drivel that doesn't belong in a
T
paper like Seven Days. Barely clad babes? Peeing wherever he feels like it and suffering dry heaves by dinnertime? Passing wind in the subway? This guy sounds a lot more like a frat boy than a journalist. Not to mention that his recommended cooling-off spots consisted of museums and movie theaters. Gee, thanks for the hot tip. Even the movie theaters here in Hooterville are air-conditioned. Please. Seven Days — and your readers — deserve better. — Lisa Hughes Burlington ROUNDABOUTS, N O T T H E CIRC Chittenden County ["Highway Robbery?," July 19] — addressing congestion means dropping the costly Circ and installing a lot of cheap roundabouts. There are two types of congestion — too many cars for the roadway and intersections that gum up. Most all Vermont congestion, and particularly that in Chittenden County, comes from gummed-up intersections, a problem the Circ cannot help. For examples, two notorious intersections, Five Corners in Essex and Taft Corners in Williston, can become safer, free-flowing tomorrow with a two-lane and singlelane roundabout, respectively. The Circ would not affect these intersections at all. Traffic in some parts of the Burlington area is stagnant or declining. Northern Connector traffic peaked in 1988 and began a slow decline, now 7 percent below 1989 at the Burlington traffic recorder. Not only has Colchester commuter traffic onto the Connector declined, but the Circ would only increase traffic, reversing current trends. Why spend $168 million to build a new road to relieve traffic on a highway with declining traffic? Check Vermont 15 in Essex near
St. Michael's College, where traffic is lower today now than in 1978! Even Malletts Bay Avenue traffic from Winooski to Colchester declined this last decade. In fact, the completed Circ section paralleling Vermont 117 seems to have no impact on traffic there at all. Cheap roundabouts clear up intersection congestion from Shelburne Road to Milton on U.S. 7, from Williston to downtown Burlington and Colchester on U.S. 2 and 2A. They improve the environment, encourage infill development, and stifle sprawl! Finally, one has to ask why the Circ is a two-lane suicide design? California does not build twolane bypasses because they allow head-on collisions. Two mega-trends affect transportation today, the collapse of traffic growth in New England and Vermont starting in 1990 and the advent of the modern roundabout, the "congestion reliever," here in 1995. Relieve congestion with roundabouts now, avoid wasting more money on the Circ. — Tony Redington Montpelier HINESBURG 'FAULT' Peter "The Skid" Freyne's Inside Track column [July 26] was entitled, "Inside the Backlash" and posed the question "What's going on in Hinesburg?" In his own words, Peter said, "The Democrats got in bed with the homosexual community and made the national gay agenda their battle cry." He then carped that there was no Republican challenger for the Hinesburg Chittenden-6 district now held by Bill Lippert of civil-union fame. Peter's question is one that has rung in my ears, and those of past Republican challengers for a long time. The answer may go way back. Anyone who has taken a look at Vermont geology has come across the phenomenon

identified as the "Hinesburg Fault." Jumping to demographics, in Hinesburg, and borrowing the shtick of public radio host Garrison Keillor, all the women are sympathetic, all the men are kind and all the children are above average — to a fault. In Hinesburg, everything is a family affair, or at least passive-aggressive. Speaking of radio, maybe Mr. Freyne remembers the spoof ads for Hinesburg Hiney Winery back in the 1980s. Maybe he owns one of those jocular T-shirts that sported buttocks for the rolling hills of Vermont on the front and asked, "Have You Had a Hiney Today?" on the back. Actually, today we have purple doors on the new addition to the Hinesburg Elementary School. Whose flag do you think that is? Mr. Freyne makes much of Mr. Lippert being openly gay. You will never find any evidence of that in his election campaign material to date. Mr. Lippert's past campaign lawn signs were hung on wooden crosses. I don't think anyone from Vermont's "Religious Right" has gone that far yet. Mr. Freyne didn't remind us that Bill Lippert was first appointed as Hinesburg representative by Gov. Howard Dean to fill a vacancy. In Hinesburg, once an incumbent, always an incumbent. Mr. Freyne stated that Mr. Lippert's speech was reported "globally, from Paris, France to Perth, Australia." I say disasters usually are. But Peter didn't tell us that Mr. Lippert's speech started over a discussion to grant some marriage rights to people in many types of living arrangements, not just same-sex couples. Mr. Lippert closed his speech with, "I ask you to put aside the rest of these amendments as well. Let us move forward putting into law a bill that will set aside traditional marriage in order to meet

Inside Track
seat is now in play, said the political pro, is the fact that "the Republicans both locally and nationally smell blood." By the way, the political player saying Dwyer has a real shot and the Republicans smell blood is no Ruth Dwyer fan, by any means. He's the executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party, Mark Michaud, and there's no denying he's worried. After all, said Michaud, "There are a lot of folks out there who want to knock Howard Dean off." Yes, indeed. Howard Dean, doctor, governor and graduate of Yale University, the breeding ground of presidents, has made an impression on the national political radar screen. Dean chaired the National Governors Association. He chaired the Democratic Governors Association. Ho-Ho even toyed with the notion of taking over the Lincoln Bedroom from Bill Clinton come January 2001. Not a bad run. "The national Republican Party sees Dean as a rising star," said Michaud. They'd love to knock him off. And the "smallness" of Vermont works in Dwyer's favor, he added, "because we're a cheap state to dance in." He's right. We are a cheap state to dance in, and now that the caps on campaign spending in Vermont have been flushed down the toilet by U.S. District Court Judge William K. Sessions III, this year's governor's race will easily break the million-dollar barrier. Hope you like the coming fall media blitz. It will be inescapable. In fact, the money and the T V commercials will flying so fast, you better get ready to duck.
Dwyer's campaign manager, Kathie Summers, cockily dismissed Mr. Meub's comments by noting Billy the Boob is only showing 8 percent support in their tracking polls. "We don't absolutely need his support to win," said Ms. Summers confidently. What some may have missed under the smokescreen of Dean's name-calling tempertantrum was the fact that he also announced he was slipping out from under the rules of the public financing law he had signed and enthusiastically embraced. No more spending cap for Ho-Ho. The sky's the limit now, and that's got some folks using the "H" word — hypocrite! Dwyer's campaign finance director, Skip Vallee, told Seven Days this week he's challenging Dean to show a little integrity in the wake of Judge Sessions' decision. Dean, noted Vallee, has about $265,000 already in the bank that he raised before this year. That's more than double what Dwyer has. "If he's really committed to campaign finance reform," said Gasoline Vallee, "we call on him to give back all the money he's raised that came in in contributions over $400. That would make it clearer he's not a complete hypocrite on his position on campaign finance reform." Dean's campaign manager, Kate O'Connor, told Seven Days Tuesday that Vallee's challenge was news to her. She said she'd like to hear from Gasoline Vallee directly before responding. Stay tuned. So is this what we can expect for the next

After Douglas Couvertier began his campaign for city council in Southwest Ranches, Florida, this summer, he learned that if he won by finishing among the top four vote-getters, he would have to resign his job as a fire chief in nearby MiamiDade County. Doing so would mean forfeiting his pension, which he is three years away from collecting. Election officials told Couvertier he was too late to remove his name from the ballot, so the week before the election he began begging people not to vote for him. Backed by his longtime friend, mayoral candidate Vince Falletta, who vowed to "make every effort to see that he's not elected," Couvertier lost by a landslide. • Nathalie Van Loock, 102, announced she will run for a sixyear term in municipal elections this October in Keerbergen,

Change of Heart When Pennsylvania state Rep. Tom Druce was arrested for the hit-and-run death of a 42-yearold Harrisburg man, he was charged under a state law calling for a one-year minimum prison term for hit-and-run offenders. Druce, who told authorities he didn't stop because he thought he had hit a traffic sign and not a person, was among the lawmakers who voted for the measure. His attorney, Matthew R. Gover, filed a court motion protesting the law as unconstitutional.

The 12-wheeled "gastrobot," dubbed Chew Chew, runs on a microbial fuel cell, which breaks down food with bacteria and converts it into electrical energy.

In our sample group of vegetarians there were 81.5 boys born for every 100 girls."

"the Life baby," and the magazine covered him as he married twice, became a father and retired. He appeared in the magazine's final issue this May under the headline "A Life Ends." A few days after the publishers announced that the magazine was ceasing publication, Story died from heart failure, the article said, calling the coincidence "sad and altogether strange." • A rise in the deaths of aging World War II veterans and a shortage of buglers has caused the Department of Defense to turn to compact discs to sound taps at funerals. Families of honorably discharged veterans are entitled to a two-person uniformed honor guard, the folding and presentation of the U.S. flag and a rendition of taps. With the downsizing of the military, however, the number of bands and thus buglers has dwindled, according to Defense Department spokesperson Lt. Col. Catherine Abbott. When Congress was made aware of the bugler shortage, it passed a law allowing "a recorded version of taps using audio equipment" if a live bugler is not available. "As the number of active duty mili- , tary is decreasing, the number of deaths is increasing," Abbott said, "so it's a significant challenge." ®

LEFT FIELD: You gotta hand it to Elizabeth Bunsen — who used her left one to make "Fun in the Sun." The Charlotte artist not only captured the essence of child's play in her most recent show at Speeder & Earl's. She attracted a patron from Pennsylvania who bought the whole exhibit. Bunsen collaborated with her five-year-old son Boone to create the 14 stick-figure playground paintings, which livened up the Pine Street coffee shop through the first half of August. Expanding on her son's drawings, "I started with my right hand, but it looked too controlled," Bunsen recalls. "So I switched to my left." It's not the first time an artist has looked to youngsters for a key to the creative unconscious — or switched hands to access the inner child. Painters from Picasso to Basquiat have collected art made by minors. Bunsen signed the paintings "Beth" — From "Fun in the Sun" her childhood name — and acknowledges the underage alias has caused some confusion. "People kept asking, 'Who is it? How old?'" she concedes. "It wasn't really a secret. I just handled it a little differently." Bunsen, who teaches art to children, explains, "Since I've been working with kids, I've been very influenced by their work. I wanted to do something to express that." And what if her left hand becomes more marketable than her right? Bunsen predicts, "I think Beth is going to be doing some more work." MUSICAL MOVEMENTS: Members of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra are getting around these days — and we are not talking about the upcoming "Made in Vermont" tour. Technical director Daryl Donley is moving south to work for the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Orchestra organizers tapped him for a job after his own virtuoso performance assisting them during a spring residency in Vermont. As second-in-charge of operations, he'll be responsible for all the advance work for the orchestra, as well as being liaison between the union and stage manager. No more futzing around with folding chairs . . . Meanwhile, assistant conductor Anthony Princiotti has also hit the road — going the opposite direction — on a nine-day walk from Manchester to Highgate. The fortysomething marathoner is "walking the length of the state, to get more familiar with Vermont," says marketing director Amy Barcomb. Frighteningly, he chose Route 7 as his "Long Trail." But he did arrive in Burlington on Sunday in time for Beethoven's Ninth. As a member of the audience, that is. IN BRIEF: When it comes to contemporary classical music, the Vermont Youth Orchestra doesn't miss a beat. For the second year running, the American Society of Composers, Author and Publishers (ASCAP) gave an award to the youth ensemble for its commitment to performing 20th-century works. Last year music director Troy Peters programmed selections by Benjamin Britten, Karl Jenkins, Russell Piatt, John Williams and Brookfield resident Erik Nielsen. This year, he'll do even better. He's commissioning Vermonter Ernie Stires to compose a piece featuring his own student, guitarist Trey Anastasio, who is also arranging a Phish tune for the orchestra. Those are 21st-century works . . . "I confessed all — the doctor thinks I'm doing terminally well," reads one award-winning haiku by Marc Awodey. True to form, the Seven Days art critic defeated a Japanese-American incumbent and 16 other bards in short order to take first place in the "Head to Head Haiku Championship" — a "side" event at the recent National Poetry Slam in Rhode Island. Word has it the judges were partial to natural imagery. But we like the ring of "Academicians with university jobs buy nice umbrellas" . . . Mexican food may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of English costume dramas like Room with a View or Remains of the Day. But the film team of James Ivory and Ismail Merchant will be serving Miguel's salsa and chips at all the advance screenings of their new film, The Golden Bowl. "They love spicy food, and they love our chips and salsa," Miguel's Craig Mooney says of the duo, which hosts art shows and other events at their estate in upstate New York. In exchange for supplying the sauce, the Vermont company is looking for big-screen exposure. Ideally, that would be "a picture of Uma Thurman biting into one of our blue corn chips," Mooney says . . . Plenty of women — or damsels, as he calls them — will likely endorse the latest in the "Logger" line: a celebrity calendar, featuring photos of Vermont actor Rusty Dewees in various he-man activities, from Harley riding to hanging from Emily's Bridge in Stowe. Muddy boots figure prominently — even in the December shot, where he is buck-naked except for a pair of steel-toes and a strategically placed Christmas tree. Get a closer look at the Champlain Valley Fair, where you can find Dewees — and all his products — in the new building every evening from four to midnight. ®

ts no wonder Todd Phillips was impressed with Phish.
Having barely heard of Vermont's most famous musical progeny, the New York filmmaker was flown out to the Midwest to see them at a show three years ago. "Who the fuck are these guys?" he was thinking. "How do they have enough money to make a movie and fly me to Chicago?" The idea was to see if Phillips would like to document their upcoming festival, called the Great Went. It didn't take him long to decide the answer was yes. "I saw how many fans there were, and I watched the show and was just blown away," he says. "I couldn't believe how big it »
was. As it turned out, the Chicago crowd was thoroughly eclipsed by the one that gathered in Limestone, Maine, that summer in 1997: Nearly 70,000 fans traveled hundreds — or even thousands — of miles to a remote spot in the northeastern corner of the United States. Once there, they formed what you might call a city of happy campers — cheerful, well-behaved and in love with the music. Phillips filmed the two-day extravaganza, but it didn't stop there. The band and their manager John Paluska were so pleased with the footage from Maine that they decided to add some arena shots in Rochester, New York. Then Phillips thought they should show the guys rehearsing back in Vermont. Then it was a few European club dates, and a 1998 New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden. "We just got so excited about it, we said, 'Lets make a real movie,'" Phillips recalls. "He felt it needed to be about the four people" in the band, adds Paluska — "not just an event. He said, 'I don't
have any doubt I can do a really good movie.' What impressed me was how confident he was. He was cocky in a good way." In the end, Phillips shot a total of 45 days over the next year and a half. The finished product, an 84-minute cinema verite documentary that flows back and forth in time, is called Bittersweet Motel. It will premiere in Burlington this weekend, simultaneous with major metropolitan areas around the country. Between shooting and releasing the Phish movie,
"In the same way that Gimme Shelter marked the end of the '60s, Bittersweet Motel represents the '90s. Phish had such a run./ / - filmmaker Todd Phillips
Phillips' own fame blossomed considerably — his film Road Trip, starring MTV's obnoxious jester Tom Green and produced by mainstream maestro Ivan Reitman, just recently left local theaters. A kind of junior-Farrellybrothers teen comedy, Road Trip was Phillip's first narrative feature film, and one of only four on his resume so far — the NYU film-school grad is just 28. He's now at work on another screenplay for DreamWorks. But of course it was their own road trip that concerned Phish, and it was Hated, Phillips' 1993 documentary about the infamous — and outrageous — Detroit punk-rocker G G Allin that brought the filmmaker to the band's attention. Made when Phillips was still a student, Hated became something of an instant cult classic. His other project was Frat House, also a documentary, and a dark look at collegiate life. Shot for H B O , this film too was an underground hit, and took home the Grand Jury Prize at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. When Phillips was hired to shoot the Phish film, it was both because the band admired his instincts as a documentary maker and because he wasn't a starry-eyed fan. The co-founder of the New York Underground Film Festival, Phillips and his previous film subjects were a long way from Phish territory. Though the band covered the costs — reportedly just over half a million dollars — Phillips was given complete creative control. Even Dionysian Productions, Phishs protective management company, stayed out of the way. "They never did any influencing, not even in the editing," he marvels. "If it was awful they could have buried it, I guess." (Phish did, in fact, reject the work of an earli-
t" i
t ' <•-

er filmmaker who had shot some footage at the Clifford Ball, a 1996 festival in Plattsburgh.) "But they were kind of like, 'We got this guy, let's let him do what he wants.' They really respect other artists." Besides, Phillips points out, this isn't an expose. Bittersweet Motel isn't a total puff piece, either — there are plenty of casual f-words, for example, and some of the fans are clearly blissed out on illegal substances. There's even en masse nudity when New York photographer Spencer Tunick poses a few hundred recumbent fans in their birthday suits for a pic at the Great Went. These elements have earned Bittersweet an R rating, but even so it is in many ways the most wholesome rock flick since A Hard Day's Night. The deep, dark secret of Phish is that guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, keyboardist Page McConnell and drummer Jon Fishman are unabashedly normal. Well, aside from that polka-dot dress Fishman wears on stage, anyway. One of the merits of Bittersweet Motel is that Phillips grants these qualities the same cinematic stature as he did G G Allin's sensationally outre
ittersweet Motel, named after the final song in the film, tells a story that is both uniquely American and anomalous in the annals of music-business-as-usual in America. The camera following the members of Phish parallels, in a way, the legions of devoted fans that have tracked the band since their genesis in Burlington some 15 years ago. Benefiting from the same type of peripatetic audience that first took shape around The Grateful Dead, Phish has achieved fame and fortune outside the usual parameters — and without the usual trappings — of starmaking machinery: radio hits and videos on MTV. Other bands can certainly sell out arena shows, but it's usually on the basis of top-selling records.
bootleg tapes with all their friends. Theirs are not antisocial fans who brood in their bedrooms alone under the headphones; they are fans for whom the Phish experience is one that must be shared, compared — and proselytized. Their devotion puts a sheen on the word "loyalty," and it provides the kind of publicity that money simply can't buy. Though he'd heard of this subculture, Phillips was astonished to witness it for himself. In the same way, Vermonters who at this point may be understandably blase about the Phish phenomenon, but have never followed the group nor seen one of their big shows, may find in Bittersweet Motel the measure of their own astonishment. Lacking a linear structure and typical documentary "talking heads" that explain the subject — "I'm not Ken Burns," Phillips quips — Bittersweet Motel comes across as somewhat "insider." As such it fits the lineage of music movies like Don't Look Back, which followed a young Bob

behaviors. His is a somewhat anthropological view, but in the end the film reveals a sort of elemental clarity about, and patina of affection for, the subjects. "To be a storyteller," Phillips says, "that's the ultimate goal."

CROWD PLEASERS Phish at the Great Went in Limestone, Maine
J
t seems to us that the band called Phish need no introduction. But in case some readers are visiting from another planet, here's a basic primer on the quartet whose quirky fate led them on many trips far from Vermont, where they entertained thousands of avid fans and pulled off a few outdoor summer festivals with twice the population of Burlington. When they return to their homes in Vermont, they have a lot more money in their pockets. These factoids are compiled from www.phish.com, a Phishathon in a recent Entertainment Weekly magazine, other print sources and a rumor or two.
• Page McConnell is the eldest at 37 — the others are 35 — plays a mean piano and has perfect white teeth. He's married and has one daughter.
• Trey Anastasio is guitarist, lead singer and co-songwriter. He's a moptop redhead, has bright blue eyes and wears unfashionably large glasses. He's married and has two daughters.
• Through near-constant touring — and amassing a huge number of faithful, Deadheadstyle followers — Phish grew to be one of the largest-grossing tour bands on the planet. In 1999, they played 60 shows, sold a million tickets and grossed nearly $40 million.
• Bassist Mike Gordon has a sort of fluffy Prince Valiant do, eyelashes to die for and is often seen in white sneakers. He's married, and is a nascent filmmaker.
• Jon Fishman currently has Marine-short hair (on head and face), a body like a small sumo wrestler and a penchant for wearing housedresses on stage. A stylin' drummer nonetheless, he's recently divorced — call it catch-and-release. • Phish was formed in 1983 when Anastasio posted flyers around UVM looking for bandmates. Their first bar gig was at Nectar's on December 1, 1984. The current lineup was in place by 1985.
• The band's New Year's Eve fest last year at the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation in a
Florida swamp attracted 80,000. It was the world's biggest Y2K event. • Phish was one of several celebrity clients bilked by financial advisor Dana Giacchetto, who recently pled guilty in federal court to stealing as much as $5 million from the band. • Phish Dry Goods, established in 1989 and selling licensed merch on tours, wholesale and through its Web site (which EW called an "online river of swag that rivals Amazon.com's") brought in more than $5 million in 1999 alone. Phish.com got 8.5 million hits in May 2000. • Ben & Jerry's named an ice cream after the band — Phish Food — which has sold more than 12 million pints in the U.S. and is the lead seller in Europe. The band's royalties from sales of the fudgy-marshmallow concoction benefit Lake Champlain clean-up efforts via the Waterwheel Foundation, Phish's philanthropic nonprofit. They've also been known to stage benefit concerts for causes such as Farm Aid and Burlington's historic Flynn Theatre.
.mus^mp
• Farmhouse is Phish's 11 th release on Elektra, which keeps the band on its rosters even though they've never had a hit single. Phish has sold about 5 million albums worldwide. The number of bootleg tapes out there is incalculable. After their upcoming fall tour, Phish is taking a muchdeserved break — rumored to last as long as two years. The fans won't be happy, but chances are the band members will make the most of it. Anastasio, for one, will be working with the Vermont Youth Orchestra — he's at music camp with some of the kids this week. Word has it certain local bands will be frequenting his Vermont studio. Fishman has his side project Pork Tornado and, we're guessing, may shop for a few new dresses. Gordon will probably get behind the camera. And McConnell, well, he's a new dad in a new pad — in New York — and pursuing several philanthropic projects. — P.P.

Phish on Film
Continued from page 9 Dylan to London in 1965. Still, Bittersweet manages to convey key impressions of the members of Phish and leak out, bit by bit, some of their remarkable history. In an interview with a Spanish disc jockey in Barcelona, Gordon patiently and modestly reiterates how the band got its start, condensing to bare bones the tale he's surely told a thousand times: meeting in college, playing in local clubs, traveling around, playing in bigger clubs... Recalling for another interviewer the band's first gig, a ROTC party at the University of Vermont, Fishman chuckles his way through the story, and entertains the rest of the band, too. They're still tickled at how much they sucked, how much the audience hated them, how their mikes were taped to hockey sticks. They ran out of songs they knew in an hour and plaved the same ones for the second set, Fishman says. Someone put on Michael Jackson's Thriller anc cranked it louder than the band. McConnell is the Quietest one in Bittersweet MoteL but one of his moments in the spotlight is oddly touching. Alone on tne stage at the Great Went, his back to the sea of faces just bevonc he piays a pretty, dehcare tune on the piano as if no one else we .: listening. I he camera lingers on him tor several minutes. Whc -. lie's finished. McConnell gets u: nods imperceptibly to tne crovvc and says simpiv into tne mm. "Stick around" — as i; anvoi would do otherwise — neror walking ofr stasrc for 1 bre.r > he camera seems uosm--> clued to Anastasio tnrouenoi. the film. Aside from tne ract mat he's the lead singer and rrontman for the band, he comes acros also as the iead personality. Phillips puts it this way: "When you're.doing a documentary you're searching for the most real moments. Five days into it vou realize where the real moments are... and most of them cattle from Trev. It's not that anyon else wasn't talking, Trev was fust the most unguarded. He made a conscious decision to just trust this process.' So it's Anastasio who is a conduit of "real" moments that express what this band is about — or isn't. Anastasio reading, and analyzing, a bad review of Phish in a magazine. Anastasio basically suggesting that suburban white kids need their music, too, and "tough shit if you don't like it." Anastasio defending longtime Phish lyricist Tom Marshall's "totally original" songs. Anastasio noting that when Rolling Stone prints its "who's on tour" list, they're not on it (though RS has dubbed Phish "the most important band of the '90s"). Though they readily acknowledge, and even make fun of, their lack of mainstream acceptance, the band wastes no energy on

either resentment or smugness. At least in Bittersweet Motel, they seem sublimely content with who, what and where they are. "As long as your intention is pure and you know what you're in it for," says Anastasio at one point, "you re all right. These kids are more than ali right — but what about the fans? Phillips captures their real moments, too: the girl in Rochester who declares Phish music is "just full of freedom, full of happiness, and thats whar I'm looking for." The spiritual fellow in ratty blond dreads who swears you don't need drugs to listen to Phish music because it "takes you to a new level of music appreciation' and enters your soul. A brief segment that speaks volumes about the notorious obedience of Phish fans occurs at the very beginning of the Great Went: A throng of people seem held in check by an invisible force field. Some of them mug good-naturedly for the panning camera. T hen, as if the force were suddenly lifted, they begw. to run — toward the stage. What was holding them back : "Nothing, marvels Phillips.

In fact, a sort of effervescence is all over Bittersweet Motel\ perhaps best expressed by Anastasio: "Rock and roll on a certain level is a bunch of bullshit, but music is not. The joy of it all just came back to us on this tour." And after a particularly hot set: "That was some good playing, man, that was some sick shit. That was as good as James Brown on a really bad night.' It's "moments" like these that Phillips latched onto and reflected, prism-like, as quintessentially Phish. "Todd had a very strong vision for this straight out of the gate," attests Paluska. "He definitely had a sense of humor and was always looking for humor,

haps best expressed by Anastasio: "Rock and roll on a certain level is a bunch of bullshit, but music is not." but he didn't manufacture moments. He's a very honest filmmaker." Phillips says he accepted t h e ' job of shooting Bittersweet Motel because "It was a challenge to do a project on something I initially had no interest in; I stumbled across it rather than being a part of it." In the process, he became a fan himself, seduced, perhaps, by the grand, sweeping scope of the Phish phenomenon and its total absence of cynicism. "I realized they were worthy of this treatment," Phillips says, referring to the full-length feature film. It's significantly different, he notes, from the onehour-special approach of M T V or V H 1 . "Not every band deserves a documentary, but Phish is one of the greats," he adds.

Phillips acknowledges his shooting style was influenced by his favorite cinema verite music film — Gimme Shelter, about the Rolling Stones' ill-fated Altamont concert near San Francisco in 1969 ("chaperoned" by the Hell's Angels and marred by violence, one man was killed at the show). "In the same way that Gimme Shelter marked the end of the '60s," says Phillips, "Bittersweet Motel represents the '90s — Phish had such a run. . . To consistently be at the top of your game for 10 to 15 years — they're that important to music." In the film, Trey Anastasio attributes the band's longevity to something more basic: "Maybe what sets us apart is that we're still all friends." H e was referring to his bandmates, but he might as well have been including the fans. Corny as it sounds, Bittersweet Motel is set apart from most other rockumentaries by what John Lennon once said is all you need: love. © Bittersweet Motel opens this Friday at Hoyts Nickelodeon in Burlington.

the needs of those who somehow feel threatened... to affirm our common humanity." Whose humanity? Of course, Mr. Lippert has only been an openly gay legislator of recent. He was appointed representative by Gov. Howard Dean in April 1994. He was appointed to the Judicial Retention Committee of the legislature in 1995. This committee reviews the performance of District, Superior and Supreme Court judges and votes to reappoint them, or not. In the end, Vermont got what Hinesburg has, and what was put there. — Roger Donegan Hinesburg K U R T H T O O SERIOUS? Re: Crank Call in your August 2 edition. In his article, Peter Kurth takes it as axiomatic that anyone who doesn't view the world as he does qualifies as one or more of the following: easily bamboozled; brain dead; dishonest about the issues; self-deluded about the issues; a toady to big business; a shill for corporations; selfish; egocentric; spineless; cynical; sardonic; vapid; a panderer; superficial; credulous; non-inclusive; exploitive, etc. What is to be done? At best are such people as these to be denied the vote and at worst
should they be put into concentration camps? It is sometimes observed that religion is mostly exalted nonsense and politics is mostly pretentious nonsense. I consider it axiomatic that politics is mostly pretentious nonsense. Consequently, I wonder why Kurth takes it all so seriously. Life is short, and without self-delusion, fantasy and the like, plain, old-fashioned living wouldn't be as enjoyable as it is. — Raymond E. Leary Shelburne BACKWARD O R FORWARD? The recent appearance of "Take Back Vermont" signs are an opportunity for all of us to think about the direction we want our state to go. There is no doubt this campaign has been motivated largely by opposition to our new civilunions law, granting legal benefits to lesbian and gay couples. But they also represent an undercurrent of resentment toward other laws, such as Act 60 (education equality) and Act 250 (environmental protection), among others. There is a question we must ponder for all these issues. Do we go backward, or do we go forward? Make no mistake, honest people will disagree on the methods used to further common beliefs and values. No law or decree will answer every question for all times. But even flawed laws can speak of the direction we want to go, the goals we seek to achieve.

Do we really disagree that all Vermonters should be treated equally Do we really disagree that our children's educational opportunities should be as equal as we can make them? D o we really disagree that the wise stewardship of our environment is worth regulatory headaches to preserve what we so love for our children, and their children? Before we "Take Back Vermont" and the efforts we have made to date, let's consider the consequences. We can fix imperfect laws, but repairing dashed hopes for fairness and justice is a much harder job. I, for one, say, Take Vermont Forward, and let's try not to leave anyone behind. — Charles Kletecka Waterbury Center T H E B O T T O M LINE? Regarding Vermont's decision to recognize homosexual unions, I would like to present a Biblical perspective. A simple evaluation of human anatomy, no matter how unsophisticated, should convince any thinking person that men and women, not people of the same sex, are meant for marriage. However, logic of that sort is not really what is at the root of homosexual perversion. T h e source is unregenerate man's desperate attempt to flee from God. God created human beings with a free will. H e did not create robots, and that is something on
which He will not renege. H e created them to freely choose to accept His free gift of salvation, enter into fellowship with H i m and then have the power (His power, not our own) to live His way. As the Bible teaches, and as I think even non-Christians will attest, most will choose their own way instead of God's way. They do not want anybody, especially God, to tell them what they can or cannot do. I Corinthians 2:14 explains this, "A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised." There you have the "bottom line." Homosexuality is just one type of sin. All sins are not God's way. Without repentance, all of them will result in a soul's everlasting punishment. All souls are eternal souls. It is just a matter of where you will spend eternity. — Rich Rochester Salisbury, N C Letters P o l i c y : SEVEN DAYS wants your rants and raves, in 250 words or less.

achel, 18, used to live in Florida. She was given bubble baths and dressed in frilly frocks until she was almost three, when her "family" gave up their increasingly large and active pet to a research laboratory. Sue Ellen started out as an entertainer. Her teeth were knocked out, probably with a crow bar, to keep her from being "dangerous." After 25 years in the biz, Sue Ellen was sold to the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates (LEMSIP) at New York University in Tuxedo, New York. There she endured 40 liver, three rectal and four lymph-node biopsies in the interest of biomedical research. Billy Jo, also a veteran of the entertainment business, ended up at the same lab. He was sedated more than 289 times, often by tranquilizer-dartthrowing men. The drug used was Ketamine — a hallucinogen currently popular on the streets. Annie was taken all the way from Africa to perform in a circus, then ended up as a "breeder" at LEMSIP, where she lived for 21 years. She was the first chimpanzee to be artificially inseminated at the facility, and in the M process suffered wounds to her geniV tals, extreme weight loss and mouth ulcers. These four chimpanzees are now fortunate to live at the Fauna Foundation, a nonprofit animal sanctuary established in 1997 just south of Montreal. Fauna is home to 15 formerly incarcerated chimpanzees and dozens of other animals rescued from farms, slaughterhouses and zoos. The menagerie includes more than 30 unwanted pot-bellied pigs, a few purchased-at-Easter bunnies, a dozen or so goats, a standard-sized pig who can't walk, a donkey who loves people but may bite, a few llamas and an aggressive ostrich. Eight of the 15 chimpanzees housed at Fauna were used in HIV studies. All the other Fauna chimpanzees — except Annie — were used in hepatitis trials. The animal-rights activists who founded Fauna want
to make it up to these animals, whom they see as heroes, not horror stories. So they have replaced the cramped cages with private rooms, the chimpanzee chow with fresh fruits and vegetables, believing that forgiveness is one of the many emotions primates and people share.
L
ocated on a back road in rural Carignan, with no entrance sign, Fauna Foundation was founded by veterinarian Dr. Richard Allan and his partner Gloria Grow, a groomer and animal-rights activist. The Canadian couple had been inspired by a visit to The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) in Ellensburg, Washington, which cares for five chimpanzees who have learned to communicate using sign language.
because of dietary changes. Most were fearful. They fought and screamed when they first arrived. § : But once at Fauna, they found kindred souls — human ones — who are working to fulfill a four-fold mission: to provide a kind of retirement home for biomedical research chimpanzees; to offer sanctuary for unwanted and abused farm animals; to spearhead, wetland restoration of the area; and to deliver educational programs about all of the above. The organization, not surprisingly, is opposed to any form of animal research. Besides Allan, Grow and several family members, Fauna runs with the help of approximately 20 volunteers, only six or seven of whom work with the chimpanzees on a regular basis. The organizations advisory board includes such primate heavyweights as Fouts and his wife Deborah. Jane Goodall, who has worked for 40 years with and for chimpanzees in Tanzania, is on the list. Her institute donated money to build an enclosure for the Fauna chimps. University of Vermont graduate John Mulcahy also serves on the board. Formerly a volunteer at Fauna, he is now enrolled in a Master s Program at Central Washington University's C H C I . Grow and Allan spent more than $200,000 of their own money to get Fauna started, and have so far attracted about 600 like-minded private donors to keep the primate project going. Some chimpanzees are "provided with an endowment to take care of them after their life in research," but not those at Fauna, explained Fauna staff member Tony Smith. And taking care of 15 full-grown adults is not cheap. Last year, Fauna received $20,000 in donations — a drop in the bucket considering each chimp costs about $7300 per year to care for. "We have no veterinary costs. That's the figure for food, housing, electricity and enrichment activities," explained Grow. Furthermore, these animal charges may end up outliving their caretakers — Annie is almost 42, and could be around for another C o n t i n u e d on n e x t page
Fauna is home to 15 formerl
incarcerated chimpanzees and dozens of other animals rescued from farms, slaughterhouses and zoos. Grow and Allan decided to build a sanctuary for chimpanzees on this side of North America, on the 41hectare piece of land they own in Quebec. Grow got advice from chimpanzee expert Roger Fouts, a psychology professor and co-director of CHCI. She also met with James Mahoney, a research veterinarian at LEMSIP and author of Saving Molly, a memoir about his work with the chimpanzees and the subsequent change in his attitudes regarding animal rights. The first group of retired research chimpanzees came to Quebec from LEMSIP in September 1997, in a small trailer that transported them across the Canadian border. The second followed a month later. Most of the monkeys were thin and hairless. Several had serious diarrhea

20 years. One way Fauna raises funds — and provides e d u c a t i o n i s through two-hour "Chimposiums" held periodically throughout the summer for the public. A tour of the grounds leads you near the great-ape facility, where each chimpanzee has his or her own room, with access to the outside space providing toys, ropes and other mentally challenging activities. Snacks are administered through the metal fencing. "Never do we go into their areas," explained Smith. "Our only physical contact is through the steel grid work." The exception is when an animal requires surgery, which is performed by Dr. Allan. Tour guide Aaryn Ketter has been a volunteer since the chimpanzees arrived three years ago. Explaining the environs, she provides scientific explanations about chimpanzees in the wild, in labs and at Fauna. The organization also puts out an attractive, educational monthly newsletter, Fauna News, and sells chimpanzee-related goods — mugs, books, T-shirts, cards — to visitors. On a recent tour, the chimpanzees watched visitors who had come to watch them. They bobbed their heads up and down, signifying "Hello." Some played or chased each other. But the most damaged animals were reluctant to come outside. Out of terror, Grow explained, they sometimes shut themselves in their room for days — just like emotionally disturbed humans. Ketter put it eloquently in an article she wrote for Psychologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Newr. "At our chimpanzee sanctuary, we don't simply warehouse' the 15 residents, nor merely treat their diseases, nor inject them with toxic amounts of pharmaceuticals or manipulate their bodies to give a predictable result. We let them live in peace. We attend to their physical and emotional needs... We serve nutritious meals... We spend extra time comforting those chimpanzees who after so many years in research have difficulty forming social bonds with members of their own species. Most of all, our activities do not compromise their need for love, affection and privacy... These 15 used-up' chimpanzees are lively, active — dare we say? — contented chimpanzees."

any chimpanzees residing in North America are not nearly as fortunate. Of approximately 2000 chimpanzees currently living in the United States, about 1700 are in research laboratories, while the others are in zoos, private hands or used for entertainment, according to the Animal Research Issues, a publication of the Humane Society af the United States (HSUS).

interest of biomedical '70s, many were used by the U.S. Air Force for flight testing. Even in zoos or roadside attractions, conditions are generally not good for chimpanzees, according to Grow. "It's not only laboratories that have terrible conditions," she says. "At least there, they have a caregiver." She visited one place where the animals were housed in caves underground. Biomedical research is not carried out in Canada, but it is not prohibited, either, according to Smith, who is also co-founder of Great Ape Standing and Personhood, a nonprofit organization that advocates legal rights for primates. In the U.S., the biomedical lab chimpanzees are used primarily in infectious-disease testing, AIDS research, spinal and brain injury research, testing for toxicity, hepatitis and respiratory diseases. The National Institutes of Health owns title to many of the remaining laboratory chimpanzees. But HSUS projects the Uijti .tariio
p
divestiture or a large proportion of the chimpanzees from their facilities in the near future." This is because of the success of chimpanzee breeding programs, the decreased need for them in research, growing ethical concerns and the high cost of keeping them, according to the HSUS newsletter. Approximately 100 chimpanzees have already been liberated and now live in sanctuaries. Fauna Foundation is one of nearly a dozen active retirement homes in North America — and the only one in Canada. Last June, legislation was introduced in the U.S. Congress to help prepare for the futures of the remaining laboratory chimpanzees. T h e Chimpanzee Health Improvement, Maintenance and Protection Act, proposed by Republican Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire, is co-sponsored by Vermont's Senator Jim Jeffords and six others. This bill would provide for the establishment of a national sanctuary system for federally owned or supported "surplus" animals who are no longer needed for research. The bill has been read twice in the Senates Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, which Jeffords chairs, but no action has yet been taken. Tony Smith feels this bill may not go far enough. "Some conside" that it is nothing more than a means of providing a holding facility for future research, should the need arise, say, in the case of a new disease," offers the
Fauna staffer. " T h e chimpanzees will still be owned and be under control of the U.S. government." Although conditions may be improving slightly for laboratory chimpanzees, the conditions under which most of them live remain grim. T h e standard metal cage size is a cramped 5 x 5 x 7 feet. Two side slots open and close for food and water. T h e cages are often suspended from the ceiling to make it easier for humans to clean up the droppings underneath. Before they came to Fauna, several of these chimps had never felt the ground — or at least not since they were babies. Many of them had never laid eyes on another of their own species. Some lab chimpanzees have tires in which to swing or sleep, but many have nothing in their cages. They sleep on the cold metal floor. Even with slightly better cages, Tony Smith emphasized that conditions "are not at all humane." In the laboratory, they are fed monkey chow, a product made by Purina. They receive no "real" food, such as fruits and vegetables, which they love. Instead of names, they have numbers. In her memoir, Reason for Hope, Jane Goodall writes of visiting a medical research facility for chimpanzees, noting their eyes were "dull and blank, like the eyes of people who have lost all hope."
O
ne of the reasons the treatment of chimpanzees is such a complex and emotionally charged issue is that the animals are so similar — in behavior and genetics — to humans. Chimpanzees are our closest relatives, sharing 98.4 percent of h u m a n D N A . As Ketter said in the Chimposium, "They are more like us than they are like any other species." Roger Fouts calls them our "next of kin." Chimpanzees exhibit many of the qualities and abilities attributed to people, including distinct senses of humor. They make friends, respond to touch and fall in love. They hold hands, hug, even kiss one another. Goodall writes, "Chimpanzees are capable

Continued from page 17 apes was almost entirely wiped out, Goodall explains in Reason for Hope. At the turn of the 20th century, as many as five million chimpanzees lived on the African continent, according to Deborah Fouts. Today the chimpanzee is endangered, with a total population of approximately 175,000. Reasons include loss of habitat, the bushmeat trade — chimp meat is fashionable in many cities — and the illegal capture and selling of chimpanzees to laboratories, circuses, zoos and private owners around the world.

This trend also concerns Jeffords. Last year he introduced the Great Ape Conservation Act, a bill modeled on the successful Asian and African Elephant Conservation Act, which he also authored. The new act — which the House passed unanimously July 26 — authorizes up to $5 million per year for projects aimed at the conservation and protection of great apes — chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans — and their habitats.

iding nearby. Indeed, some of the chimps were infected with "doses that were intended to be lethal," says Tony Smith. But they have no AIDS symptoms, and one chimpanzee is actually sero-negative at this time. According to research from the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, chimpanzees eliminate the H I V virus from their bodies within a few years of infection. A recent report issued by the Monteregie Health Authorities, a Quebec health board, convinced many of Faunas detractors that the animals did not pose a danger to public health. The fear has died down, and Fauna has received letters of support from all over the world, including from Goodall and Fouts. The organization will remain where it is, adding on to the great ape facility next spring. The best news is that several of the resident Fauna chimpanzees seem much happier, healthier and more relaxed now than when they arrived. Billy Jo still cannot bear to have strangers grouped in front of him, but amongst the apes at Fauna, he is the most sociable with humans

ranted, it's not the wilds of Africa, but the Fauna Foundation — the closest chimpanzee sanctuary to Vermont — is doing its part for primates in cold Canada. Not without serious negotiating, though. The Foundation is in contravention of agricultural zoning regulations, according to the Commission de Protection du Territoire Agricole du Quebec. "And they are not prepared to make an exception," said Smith, adding that bureaucratic errors were made in granting the permits that allowed the animals here in the first place, "which is the only reason that they have been allowed to remain." Neighborhood opposition has also been a problem. Some people tried to block building permits when they discovered there would be HIV-infected animals

"Now, they've got their hair back. They relax, sleep and enjoy their food," said Ketter. "We try to make the place as interesting as possible. We try to give them choices in their daily lives. They have access to the outside. Still, it's not enough. We know this." As Smith explained, "The most important point to underscore is the need to ensure the future protection of all of the farm's animals. All of the animals have, at some point in their lives, served humans. It is our duty to provide a safe and peaceful home for them for the remainder of their lives." © Deborah Straw is the author of Natural Wonders of the Florida Keys.

The Warren select board recently denied a request from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to park its cars at the East Warren Schoolhouse. This lot is adjacent to the Faillace sheep farm and the Three Shepherds of the Mad River Valley cheese-making facility that has been the focus of much controversy — the Faillaces own one of the flocks of Belgian sheep suspected of having a version of Mad Cow Disease. While the legal struggle over the fate of the Faillace sheep continues, it looks like the folks from the government will be hoofing it. — The Valley Reporter, August 10
A nostalgic rerun of a 1975 print ad for the Orleans County Fair triggered an apology recently: It seems that even some alert readers mistook the 25-year-old ad for a current one. "The reason for reprinting the old ad," the editors wrote in a clarification, "was to point out that the ever-popular Demolition Derby is 25 years old this year." Readers seemed to miss that part, but did notice that the dates and times were wrong. Continuing in the historical vein, this week's blast from the past is a campaign ad from 1980. In it, we learn where then State Senator Mel Mandigo once stood on issues that included statewide land use, local control of education, welfare reform and the use of state surpluses. Saturday Review writer Norman Cousins once called history a vast early-warning system; maybe he was right.
Table Manners "Right Sights" columnist Dick Tracy, an enthusiastic conservative who writes for the •""Vermont Standard, recently accepted a dinner invigtojion from Steven Swayne and Michael Backman. '••^formally this would be a minor, unnoteworthy .. social transaction, but Swayne and Backman are a gay couple from the Woodstock area; the idea of the dinner was to open up a dialogue about Tracy's position on civil unions, which is unambiguous: He doesn't like them. The encounter itself was civil, it seems — Tracy reports that the evening's conversation was "intriguing, frank and enlightening," and that "we had more in common than one might have imagined." This puts a different spin on at least some of the recent strife over same-sex unions — maybe we can stop taking back Vermont and start taking dessert out on the porch instead. Coffee with that?

Windsor resident Edward Fee wanted to register a car from out of state and needed to get the vehicle identification number on his car verified, so he turned up at the police station with his car and his paperwork. There, officers noticed an "odor of intoxication" coming from Fee. After determining that he had, in fact, driven to the station, they conducted a field sobriety test. Fee failed, and officers charged him with operating under the influence. It's true that police have to stay on their notoriously flat feet, but every once in a while they get to make the collar sitting down. — The Windsor Chronicle, August 10
Dogs do think, but not in a way that is perfectly clear to humans. A Bristol motorist encountered this canine inscrutability first-hand when a large white dog leaped into the side of her pickup truck as she drove down West Street. The police report that the dog "came out of nowhere," jumping so high and with such conviction that it nearly broke the windshield. Police estimate that the dog inflicted an estimated $750 in damage. The motorist was uninjured but confused; the dog, also unhurt, apparently took off and may be at large, still raging against the machine.

According to Liz Borkowski, manager of the nonprofit environmental group WoodWise, the average American spends eight months of his or her life dealing with unwanted mail solicitations. How this astonishing time drain is calculated is something of a mystery, but Borkowski goes on to offer tips on how to reduce your junk mail by 75 to 80 percent. If we do as she says, we can spend a mere seven weeks dealing with unwanted mail solicitations. This still seems like a lot, but we all know by now there's a price to pay for being American and average.
Trisa Gay of Woodbury is the new and undisputed champ in the Women's Frying Pan Toss, with a record-breaking 51-feet, 4-inch throw made at the Old Home Day in Belvidere. Gay claims she has never trained for this event and never even watched one from the sidelines; at 5 feet 5 inches, she seemed an unpromising impromptu entry. "I really can't say how it happened," she said in a post-toss interview. "It seemed like mind over matter." Gay's husband observed that he was going to stay on her good side from now on.

Furry Indignation The Waitsfield Planning Board may be moving in an innovative direction by requiring that a new 4000-square-foot building on Route 100 be invisible. Not all the planning commissioners are totally on board with the concept: "Invisibility," one commented, "seems to me to be a whole new category of building requirement. Can we really tell people you can build a building as long as no one can see it?" If we can, then perhaps we can declare a victory in our war against sprawl and quietly move on.

all them bats, bubblers, chillums, hookahs, hammers, sherlocks and sidecars. Just don't say "bong" or the m-word — especially if you're shopping for a tobacco water pipe in any one of Burlington's growing number of "glass" shops. Make any drug references at all and the proprietors will probably ask you to leave. There's no discussion, period, if you're not 18. Paranoid? Perhaps. But it's a necessary tactic when you're in the business of selling legal paraphernalia that could be used f o r . . . something illegal. A large sign in Church Street's Full Tank — where two employees decline to answer my questions without the store's owner present — says what no one wants to talk about: "Any slang or sarcasm which implies illegal use will result in your immediate expulsion from the store." It's as clear as a skull-andcrossbones. W h e n a customer inquires about the hookahs, however, one of the Full Tankers has plenty to

say — and offer. "We've got big and small, green and blue, Arabic and American," he recites. T h e twentysomething patron gleefully responds with a $200 glass purchase. Full Tank used to consist of two rooms — the front offering funky gift items like address books made out of old license plates, and hot-pink inflatable chairs; the glassware was relegated to the back. Now, the pipes are the premiere product offering, along with T-shirts and trinkets, and there's plenty of 'em. Todays casual smokers can choose from dozens of colorful one-hit wonders or glittering glass masses. Although size and artist may vary, all glass water pipes change color with use. You could call these delicate objets High Art — the pipes are as sophisticated as their smoothtalking shoppers. Simple wood pipes have been replaced by intricate handblown glass variations, with price tags up to $5000. And long gone are the seedy dungeons that once housed such bacchanalian basics. This is serious business. T h e two newest glass shops — Oasis
on Main Street and Vermont All Stars Glass and Gear on North Winooski Avenue — moved in this summer. T h e Hempest, at the corner of Main and St. Paul streets, maintains a small glass counter, but it's secondary to the hemp clothes. "It's a good town to have this kinda stuff," explains Oasis' Tomer Alon, who co-owns another shop in New Hope, Pennsylvania. There he claims to have a client who spends $10,000 a year expanding his crystal pipe collection. "The market has been changing aggressively in the past three years," Alon adds. H e reports that glass is now the third most collectible item in the world — all kinds included, not just water pipes. His shop showcases glass figurines, such as a shimmering crystal schooner, in addition to pipes from the West Coast and Egyptian hookahs. Kellie Alpert, co-owner of Threads of Zion on Church Street — from which pleasant incense has wafted since October 1998 — agrees that local customers are educated about glass, and says each store has its own

Mellow reggae music, Bob Marley-inspired decor and red-green-and-yellow clothes are sure to put jah in an irie mood for major pipe shopping. Alpert buys glass from more than 50 local blowers, plus 250 national artists. Vermont's glassblowers have benefited greatly by the booming business, according to Alpert. In fact, she adds, the pipe-blowing portion of the craft often serves as a launch pad for fine-glass artisans. "It's a really competitive business," she comments, adding that Burlington's shopkeepers don't usually share blowers if they can avoid it. But plenty of Vermont's gypsy-like artists just walk in with their wares, so it's hard to keep track of w h o has what*and just how many glassblowers are waiting to exhale. Last weekend, Alpert attended the annual Contemporary Tobacco Accessories Convention in Las Vegas, where Alex Pintair, the owner of Full Tank, also refueled. "The envelope is always being pushed, with another level of technique being developed," says Pintair, calling from the convention floor. H e estimates there are some 400 artists around the country doing "phenomenal" work. "Since we opened two and half years ago, many of them have found us," Pintair says. " O u r job is to connect the customer with the artist." Over at Vermont All Stars, glass pipes share space with
skateboards, scooters and Tshirts. "We're a youthful, up-todate clothing company, too," insists ebullient employee Izzy Laucks. Apparently not alll^K '1" customers are especially young, however —- she's seen a few of her college professors in the store. "It's more art than apparatus," Laucks elucidates. All Star owners Josh Matty and J.P. McGarrity prefer to buy glass goods from their artistic friends, according to Laucks, but also augment their collection with a few national names. Behind the counter, a 6-foot, 4inch water pipe sits waiting for the right h o m e and tobacco blend. O r whatever.

Obviously Burlington is smokin', but what? Threads of Zion sells a few herbal tobacco mixtures, and All Stars offer American Spirit cigarettes, but their owners also suggest Phoenix Herbals and Imports on Church Street for a nice mix. If these don't satisfy discriminating customers, the Internet offers dozens of Web sites for smoking alternatives and accessories.

At one on-line emporium, Herbal Smoking Mixtures, there's an herbal recipe to help smokers quit nicotine altogether. Back at Full Tank, an important message attributed to the Surgeon General is displayed in one of the glass cases: "Filtering tobacco through water reduces carcinogens by about 50 percent." So, Mr. R.J. Reynolds, put that in your pipe and smoke it. Burlington glass shops could give cigarette companies a healthy run for their money — but nobody probably wants to say that, either. ®

tephanie Abrahams is a woman in a hellish predicament. Once a world-renowned concert violinist, she has been stricken with multiple sclerosis at the height of her career. Confined to a wheel chair and slowly losing all motor control of her body, Stephanie can no longer play the music that is her life. If Stephanie's depressing situation sounds familiar, it should. Tom Kempinski's 1980 Duet for One is a play loosely based on the true story of Jacqueline du Pre, the brilliant cellist who succumbed to MS in 1987 at the age of 42. Subsequently, du Pre's sister and brother, Hilary and Piers du Pre, co-wrote a memoir of her tragic life, entitled A Genius in the Family, that inspired the controversial 1998 film, Hilary and Jackie. . "f; While it deals with du Pre's life and career, the film puts special emphasis on the complex, emotionally fraught menage-a-trois that developed between Jackie, Hilary and Hilarys husband, Kiffer Finzi.

nature, despair effectively militates against self-transcendence. A related paradox is that the people who most need psychological help "are the least likely to be receptive," continues Cook, because they strive so mightily to deny their condition in order to keep the emotional pain at bay. O n her first meeting with Dr. Feldman, it is abundantly clear to Feldman — and to the audience — that Stephanie is suicidally depressed, but nonetheless determined to cheerfully tough out her illness and get on with what remains of her life without benefit of a "shrink." Indeed, she expresses wonder at the need for such a consultation, which was

Sensing that his patient will be a tough season. nut to crack, so to speak, Dr. Green Candle Theatre Feldman prescribes anti-depresCompany's production of Duet sants and schedules follow-up for One, performed at appointments. Burlington's Rhombus Gallery, features well-known local actor Tracey Lynne Girdich as Stephanie and Alex Ball as Dr. Feldman. In his directors notes, Jeremiah Cook observes that Duet for One explores the paradox that desperation is best cured "through transcendence and growth," but that, by its very
were excellent musicians who had their careers interrupted, but who insisted on remaining outwardly cheerful. With remarkable swiftness, Stephanie has her first, reluctant epiphany: "You're not suggesting I got this illness to be like her?" That's exactly what Feldman is suggesting, but being the consummate Freudian analyst, he keeps his cards close to the vest, and further pushes her awareness by asking her to imagine the possibility of having children despite her illness. Stephanie senses where he is going and gets angrily defensive about her doubts on sustaining the marriage and possibly having children: "Nothing is splitting!" she shouts, "Everything is under control!" That everything isn't under control is more fully evident to Stephanie by her third session.
The medication helps leaven Stephanie's mood and then some, but her underlying state of mind requires extensive therapy. Through astute and careful questioning, Dr. Feldman soon discovers intriguing parallels between Stephanie and her mother, who died when she was eight years old. Both women

Feldman then brings Stephanie to the realization that her pursuit of a musical career "showed great determination in the face of severe pressure." Once she is able to acknowledge the heroism of her own accomplishment, she is able to affirm the redemptive power of music without reservation: "You see, there's no God, Dr. Feldman, but I know where they got the idea — music!" With that acknowledgment comes the unguarded realization of the terrible loss she has suffered. At the end of Act I, Stephanie gives full vent to her grief: "I can never, m r p l a y the violin again. Never, never, never again!" Consistent with the twosteps-forward-one-step-back nature of psychotherapy, Stephanie goes into a tailspin after the breakthroughs she achieves. In the steady dramatic crescendo that is Act II, she

begins to miss therapy sessions, skips her medication, neglects her personal hygiene, sells her violin and grows jealous of her husband, who continues to be an active composer. She even starts an empty, absurd affair with the local junkman. The stupendous will that had made her a great artist now drives a nihilistic urge powerful enough to kill her in short order. When Stephanie taunts him once too often with her selfindulgent negativity and indifference, Dr. Feldman explodes in righteous anger and reminds his patient in no uncertain terms that "We are engaged in a struggle here... We must give battle to these dark forces."

Regardless of the outcome, that struggle makes Duet for One a profound and powerful theater experience. Full of stark wisdom about despair and loss, the play is, in essence, an existential meditation on the meaning of life — heavy but ultimately not depressing because the issues it raises are so fascinating.

f i l & l l i f f l l Tiny and intimate, the Rhombus Gallery is the perfect venue for an intense play like Duet for One. Everyone is close to the "action" — so much so that Stephanies long, tortured monologues induce something like claustrophobia in the audience; there is nowhere to hide from the spectacle of her terrible troubles. Ball is solid as Dr. Feldman, whose role is more catalyst and referee than conversational partner. Clad in a dark suit, he literally blends into the set's dark background. The actor who plays Stephanie has to carry the play, inasmuch as she gets three-quarters of the dialogue. It's a challenging part with an inordinate amount of memorization, but Girdich proves up to the task. She only needs to pace herself better and trust more in the efficacy of the silences between words. ®

two-and-a-half months? Is "Fear of Dwyer" the major weapon in the Howard Dean arsenal? Has Dr. Dean overstayed his welcome as Vermont's chief executive? Is the anti-civil-unions backlash going to determine the election? Is Ho-Ho's support really that thin? There's an old political axiom yours truly picked up years ago from the legendary, street-smart Chicago community organizer, Saul Alinsky, that the governor should pay heed to. "The action is in the reaction," said Mr. Alinsky. And he said it over and over until we got it through our thick skulls. The key for the underdog, said Saul, is to get the Big Dog to overreact, play the bully, and do something stupid or illegal that shifts public opinion and builds the base of the challenger. Dean's name-calling approach to Mrs. Dwyer just might come back to haunt him. In fact, on Tuesday, Ruth sure didn't sound ruthless when she called on Dean "to consider a more civil tone." And Anthony Pollina, the Progressive, told Seven Days, "The governor is just using Mrs. Dwyer as an excuse." Pollina charged Dean is trying to portray Dwyer "as the candidate of hate." But in reality, he said, Ho-Ho's just using that "as an excuse that allows him to let go of public financing and start raising money. Rather than talk about the real issues in the campaign," said Mr. Pollina, "Howard Dean's going to talk about what's wrong with Ruth Dwyer. I'm going to talk about what's wrong with Ruth Dwyer and what's wrong with Howard Dean." What fun! Kennebunkport Connection — With the federal court overturning the campaign spending caps, the spigots have been opened. And there's no better proof of that than last Friday's $5000-ahead ticket price on an upscale fundraiser for high-rollers in the Vermont GOP. Money man Skip Vallee told Seven Days he sold 25 tickets at that price for a fundraiser held in Kennebunkport, Maine, and attended by former President George Bush, father of Shrub. Among the donors who flew to Maine for the event were Barbara Snelling, Rep. Connie Houston, Bobby and Holly Miller and IDX whiz Ritchie Tarrant. "It was great," Mr. Tarrant told Seven Days. "The guy is so real and down to earth," he said of the former president. Vallee said the money raised will go to the Republican National Committee, and the Vermont Republican Party. He declined to reveal what the split is. A n d b y t h e w a y , M r . Tarrant
acknowledged he has in the past contributed to Howard Dean's campaign war chest, too. Asked about this year's race, Rich said he hasn't made a choice as yet.
"I know Howard quite well," said Tarrant, noting they worked together on a number of projects, including the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps. Mr. I D X said he didn't know Mrs. Dwyer that well yet. Maybe they could do lunch? Kennedy for Jeffords? — Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords was still chuckling this week over the surprise plug he received from the podium of the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts praised our Jeezum Jim for his bipartisan support for the disabled. "It was a thrill," said Jeffords this week. "It meant a lot to me," he said of the kind remarks by his Democratic friend and colleague. But Jeezum wondered aloud if the praise from Kennedy might hurt his standing with the other three members of "The Singing Senators," the G O P quartet that includes Trent Lott, the Republican senate leader.
g a n
O u r sources say the joke of the day was Amestoy s story of how his seven-year-old daughter became quite concerned when he announced he would be "marrying Anson Tebbetts." T h e chief justice quickly clarified the matter by making it clear that he meant he'd be conducting the marriage ceremony. A traditional marriage all the way. Congratulations. Sources say Nova Scotia is the honeymoon destination. (7)

"Ed is the only candidate in the primary and general elections who truly represents the interests of working people in Vermont, especially women and their children."
"When I go back to Washington," said Jeffords, "it might be a trio instead of a quartet." We suggested the Kennedy clip might make for a good campaign T V commercial this fall. "I hadn't thought of that," said Jeffords. Needless to say, Teddy's largesse did not play well with Jeezum's Democratic challengers Jan Backus and Ed Flanagan. And the Caledonian Record in St. Johrisbury editorially blasted Jeezum Jim over the Kennedy kudos, calling Sen. Jeffords "a bogus Republican." T h e paper urged Republicans to send Jim a message and cast "a protest vote" for his Republican primary challenger Rick Hubbard. You just can't please everybody. Media Notes — W C A X - T V reporter Anson TebbettS tied the knot Saturday with Vicki Parra, an environmental lawyer. The ceremony was held under a large tent on the hillside Cabot farm of the cow-milking, birdwatching television reporter. T h e nuptials were presided over by none other than the chief justice of the Vermont Supreme Court, Jeffrey Amestoy. Recognizing "our common humanity," Amestoy, a Republican, wrote the historic Baker decision that opened the door for legal samesex unions in Vermont and turned up the heat under Vermont's political frying pan.
"Courage is what Ed has been about. As State Auditor, Ed Flanagan has become Vermont's Ralph Nader, shining the light of investigation into various dark corners of state government."

TWIN PEEKS Not everyone would be so goodnatured about having an imitator — especially one identical in looks and talent. But crossover-country singer Shania Twain has been pretty complimentary towards Shania Twin, a.k.a. Donna Huber. The 34year-old Canadian left a successful career as a baker for her central role in this tribute band, proving that the twain can meet. Can you spot the difference? Find out at Shania Twin's show this Saturday at Stowe's Rusty Nail.

THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND LEFT EYE JUMP
RAP SHEET Never mind "Take Back Vermont"; ' Ben Cohen wants to take back the budget — a part of the military budget, that is, for education and other children's needs. Recently the ante has been upped on his musical efforts toward this end. Regular readers will recall that the ice-cream magnate (and president of Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities) first recorded — with Burlington producer Bill Kinzie — a rap single entitled "Move the Money." Public Enemy's Chuck D later helped spiff it up with some, well, authentic rap cred. Now some of Chuck's posse have embraced the concept whole-heartedly: Professor Griff is beginning to work on a whole C D with the theme of re-allocating Pentagon money. According to an article in the September Parents magazine — which taps Cohen as "Parent of the Month" — he's fond of illustrating our government's skewed financial priorities with Oreos. The Pentagon gets a stack of 30 Oreos; education, three Oreos; Head Start, one-half an Oreo. And Cohen has done the math: If only 15 percent of the military budget were redistributed to those low on cookies, "We'd have ample money to insure all our children, modernize our schools and make sure all eligible kids were enrolled in Head Start. And we'd still be the biggest military power on earth." If that's not a good-cause CD, I don't know what is. And wouldn't it be ironic if Public Enemy turned into Public Servants?

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEw SPENCER LEWIS, DIRT ROAD BALLADS (Quartz Recordings, CD) — Vermont musician Spencer Lewis has built a successful business out of producing, performing and marketing a series of new-age instrumental recordings over the past 12 years. His 10th production, entitled Dirt Road Ballads Volume 1, is still easy listening. But Dirt Road is distinguished from Lewis' previous recordings — all "Hearts of Space" instrumental journeys — by its vocals. Another difference is that a number of local musicians play backup, including keyboard/synth man Chas Eller and Burlington guitar icon Paul Asbell. Lewis has mixed his voice so low that you sometimes have to strain to hear the lyrics. So here's a sample: "How many times have I heard myself say/How hard it's been — how many dues I have to pay?/I've been hiding, I've been confiding/I am learning all that I can/In this cabin I've played my violin/To a melody so sad." Dirt Roads rings true to the motto at Lewis' own Quartz Recordings: "Music that paints the rural landscape and quiets the mind." His lyrics are sensitive, his music pretty. Nice and personal, too. It doesn't, however, quiet my mind. Instead, it makes me nuts. It makes me want to run out and eat a bag or two of fried pork rinds, chase it down with a three-pack of Hostess Cupcakes, cuss at a developer or two, and go admire junk cars and old refrigerators on someone's lawn in what's left of rural Vermont.

Musical originality is not paramount on this recording. The chord progressions all sound familiar — at times I found myself playing the "sounds like" game. "Rebuilding" sounds like "Chimes of Freedom" with synth. "A Smile and a Half Ton of Grace" sounds like Pachelbel's Canon in D with

ment needs this week — the club is closed for its annual scrub-down and staff breather. They'll be back in the swing next Wednesday with the rockin' mama Marcia Ball . . . Music from Lighter Than Fancy, by Bethel composer Spencer Lewis, was chosen for the Eastern States Exposition T V ads, as well as for a video at the Grafton Cheese Company visitors' center. Logical enough for a C D named for maple syrup . . . The tent parties at 135 Pearl are always a blast — more than 900 showed up at this summer's Pride event. So keep in mind the final one of the season, this Saturday with DJ Little Martin and House Of LeMay . . . Guess my MP3.com dis a couple weeks back didn't please somebody at the music Web site. Glenn Barclay, husband/manager of singer-songwriter Kate, posted on her page my report that she didn't get paid by M P 3 at their showcase last month at Club Metronome. Turns out MP3 has removed the report and put a block on anything else getting posted there! Kate's not too worried, though; she just signed a contract with A1 Gomes, Christina Aguilera's assistant manager . . . Signal To, Noise kicks off a fall mini-series of shows with homies No Glue this Thursday at the Pine Street locale . . . Burlington drag performer/musician Yolanda has artwork in a virtual gallery at www.thebody.com, in a national registry for HIVpositive artists. And look for his interview on www.gaybc.com . . . Four out of five of the bestselling CDs at Pure Pop this week are local yokels! In descending order: Seth Yacovone (Dannemora), Johnny A (Sometimes Tuesday Morning), Strangefolk (demo), viperHouse (Lap Hen) and Starline Rhythm Boys (Better Luck Is a Barroom Away) . . . Speaking of viperHouse, they're putting on a free outdoor concert this Sunday, on the top block of Church Street to welcome back the students . . . Listen for Chin Ho! on the X-Games over the next few weeks (details on www.xgames.com) and on ABC's "Making the Band" . . . ®

synth and deep drums; "Late Nite Star" sounds like Tim Buckley's "Morning Glory," with A1 Kooperesque organ and "na-na-na na na na" chorus; "In the Moment," believe it or not, has the same chord progression and bowed drone as Lou Reed's "Heroin," but without the edge. Don't get me wrong; Dirt Road Ballads is played, written and recorded with sincerity, care and taste, and will probably make a lot of tourists happy. For some of us, though, it's just not "rural" enough. — Robert Resnik DROWNINGMAN, ROCK AND ROLL KILLING MACHINE (Revelation Records, CD) — Rock and Roll Killing Machine, the new nine-song smackdown from Drowningman, finds the Burlington fivesome pooling their abilities, mental and metal, into an ever mightier onslaught. Drummer Joe Villemaire, guitarists Matt Roy and Javin Leonard and bassist Dave Barnett charge through twisted, dense arrangements, ornamenting raw power with subtle, melodic coloring; vocalist Simon Brody belts out cryptic but conscious lyrics with conviction. Producer/engineer Brian McTernan is back again, dialing up killer guitar and drum sounds, and seating them perfectly in the mix. "The Truly Dangerous Nature of a Man W h o Doesn't Care If He Lives or Dies" is probably my favorite cut here, with its sorta hooky chorus. "My First Restraining Order" gets nearly anthemic before it winds down. I hear a streak of Fugazi in Drowningman's music — there's something pure and polemical at their complicated core. Heavy music can get sorta baroque at times, and I had to chuckle at a couple of particularly Zappa-esque convolutions on the disc, or even at Brody's shrieks. But that's par for the course, and most of the time this
stuff comes across as grave and hostile, rich in the all-important menace. Brains, spot-on playing, passion and ears for detail mark these guys as contenders. At this rate, Drowningman will be treading — hell, walking— on water soon. — Paul Gibson TREVOR AYER, KISSING ANGELS (self-released, cassette) — There are moments of glory on Trevor Ayer's new 13-song tape, Kissing Angels, but relentlessly lovelorn lyrics threaten to drag the whole thing down. You may remember this Wolcottbased folk/art punker from such bands as The Death Cows and, more recently, The Velvet Ovum Band with former partner Peg Tassey. Ayer plays and sings almost everything on this project, but does get able assistance from drummer Jed Mayer, who helps propel two of the strongest tracks here: the skronk-core of "Superqueen" and the Zepped-up "She Loves You." A few guest vocalists appear, including Ayer's young daughter on "123." I much prefer the frantic Ayer of "Superqueen" to the mopey one reminiscing about "Kissing at the Metronome." I did like the grim, pretty second half of "Something Always Trips Me Up" — sorta reminded me of Abbey Road— and "JPEG" could pass for vintage Guppyboy. Ayer clearly has some good ideas, and Kissing Angels has an appealing, loose feel and warm sound. Just seems like he's caught in a lyrical rut that's not too compelling to an outsider. Some of this stuff stales faster than the patchouli-scented package it came in. Ayer plugs in at the Compost Art Center in Hardwick this Saturday. — Paul Gibson

Brush with Fame BY MARC AWODEY
T
he painting oozes with fire and emotion — the red suggests a feverish state of mind. The brushwork is sinewy, as if dragged across the subject's decaying flesh. No, it's not Lucien Freud. It's "Side of Beef and Calf's Head," painted around 1925 by Chaim Soutine, a quintessentially troubled artist of Mont$ martre. His is one of 81 major French paintings in "From Renoir to Picasso," a touring exhibit of works from The Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris, now on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Included are 14 Cezannes, five Modiglianis, seven Picassos, 16 Renoirs, 10 Matisses — the list goes on. It is a genuine blockbuster show. "From Renoir to Picasso" is part of a centuries-straddling collection assembled by art dealer Paul Guiilaume during the early 1900s. Guiilaume knew and financially supported several of these artists, including Soutine and Amedeo "Femme au violon," by Modigliani. In addition to "Side of Beef," Soutine's "The Turkey" features a plucked turkey painted in pasty yellows and greens. Among the Modigliani works are some of the Italian artists finest. "The Young Apprentice," from 1917, is a'portrait of a tired young man who seems to live in a drab world of gray and browns. Only his face and hands possess bright colors; the face almost dissolves to become a flat abstracted mask, rather than the visage of a specific individual. Guiilaume not only collected works from artists of his own generation; he was an early champion of Impressionists and Fauves as well. "Bouquet in a Box," by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, portrays a bouquet tossed onto a theater box seat. He describes the setting in just a few brushstrokes, but heaps paint onto the flowers. It's also notable that Renoir selected this somewhat introverted scene at the theater, rather than the dramatic events that could have been happening on stage — as Degas or Toulouse-Lautrec would have done. The tremendous discipline of Paul Cezannes paint handling is also evident in this show. His brilliant still lifes from the 1880s make clear that part of the painter's genius was his ability to stop painting at precisely the right moment, when one more stroke would have trivialized the piece. Perhaps the same can be said of Henri Matisse. Well known as the supreme colorist of
modern art, his virtuosity manipulating the brush is equally important. His 1921 "Woman with Violin" shows precisely organized space defined by the intensity of the paint, as well as a unique approach to patterning and line. "From Renoir to Picasso" is not the only substantial exhibit currently at Montreal's Fine Art Museum. A show of 23 works on paper, "From
Henri Matisse ( 1 9 2 1 - 2 2 ) Boucher to Vuillard: French Master Drawings from the Collection of Mrs. Marjorie Bronfman' is tucked into an inconspicuous gallery adjoining the permanent Baroque collection. It's not easy to locate, and subsequently not as crowded. However, these drawings offer another revealing glimpse into the process of making art. Drawing is more direct and intimate than painting. "The River at Montfoucault," by Impressionist Camille Pissarro, seems more concerned with line than light. Pissarro attacked the paper with greater energy than in his almost pointillist paintings. "Fantastical Bust of a Child," by Odilon Redon, meanwhile seems a precursor to surrealism. His distinctly heavy layers of brighter-hued pastels suggest he was using commercially produced materials rather than hand-ground pieces. Perhaps the most interesting drawing here is by Edouard Vuillard. "Jos Hesse! and Lucy in their Chateau Clayes, near Paris" is full of barely suggested forms. Vuillard can be imagined sketching in the corner of the room, as if to pass the time rather than to create a great work of art. There can be no substitute for the primary experience. That's why it's important to view the actual works of prominent artists rather than the reproductions that are so often mistaken for art. The Museum of Fine Art offers ample opportunities.®
"From Renoir to Picasso: Masterpieces from the M u s e e de l'Orangerie," and "From Boucher to Vuillard: French Master Drawings from the Collection of Mrs. Marjorie Bronfman." Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Through October 15 and September 3, respectively.

ell this is one wacky bag of pistachios, now, isn't it? I don't know whether to jump for joy or run for my life now that my fellow Americans have so rapturously and uniformly embraced this blood-drenched sickathon. On the one hand, it's nice to see something floridly original and truly visionary up there on the screen. On the other, I'm not sure I want to live in a world where everybody's favorite movie is Eraserhead, if you know what I mean. Or The Cell, for that matter. The big-screen debut from Tarsem, the guy who directed the visually inventive video for REM's "Losing My Religion," the picture features a highly pumped-up level of visual invention and tells the story of a babeliscious therapist who quite literally explores the psyche of a serial killer. Jennifer Lopez plays a child psychologist who gets the call when a team of scientists develops the technology to link the mind of one individual to that of another. She agrees to play guinea pig in an experiment which calls for her to enter the mind of a comatose boy and try to coax him back to wakefulness.
Vincent D'Onofrio is a troubled pup who likes to kidnap women, drown them slowly in a glass enclosure of his own design, bleach their dead bodies white and make them into dolls. By the time Vince Vaughn and his FBI buddies catch up with him, D'Onofrio has succumbed to his crippling headaches and fallen into a coma himself. Which would be great if he hadn't just run off with another woman and left her god-knows-where in that homemade cell. Luckily, the doctor working with Vaughn has heard of Lopez's experimental mind-melding procedure and, the next thing you know, she's wired for a stroll down memory lane — D'Onofrio's memory, that is — in hopes of learning the location of his latest victim before it's too late. So basically, this is a picture with everything: You've got your classic race against the clock. You've got a non-stop supply of goosebumps courtesy of the psycho. You've got good old-fashioned boy-girl chemistry courtesy of the leads. You've got cool make-believe technology. You've got art direction as eyepoppingly bold as anything since Kubrick at his career peak. And, as if this were not enough, you've got Jennifer Lopez in a thong.

OK, the story may lean a little toward comic-book adolescent, but maybe you didn't read that last line: It's got Jennifer Lopez in a thong. If The Glimmer Man had had Lopez in a thong, Steven Seagal would still have a career right now. That's the kind of cinematic significance we're talking here. The writing actually isn't half bad, the performances are serviceable all around and the direction — even putting visuals aside for a moment — is virtually problem-free. It may be psychedelic poppycock, but The Cell's plot and pacing hum like a finely tuned fear machine. I'm not sure the film adds a whole lot to the lexicon of the American movie psycho, though. Hannibal Lecter this guy is not. At the same time, the film isn't intended as a character study in the traditional sense so much as a pull-out-the-stops, day-glo, Michaelangelo-meets-Marilyn Manson psychological portrait — literally, a visual representation of a character's psychic makeup. On those terms, the movie's a funhouse ride and freak show rolled into one. Strap yourself in and fight the impulse to close your eyes. You don't want to miss a minute of this. ®

There's help for hammes
looking to hook up in Montreal BY CHRIS BARRY
H
ey fellas, you know the scene. You're driving along 1-89 toward Montreal for a nice weekend getaway, one that no doubt will involve dinner, a little people-watching on StDenis, maybe a show of some sort before heading back home Sunday night. But as pleasant as it sounds, you feel like something's wrong with this picture. You can't put your finger on it, but deep inside you know there's something else you'd like to be doing in Montreal. This bothers you all the way to the border. There, you roll up to the Immigration/Customs window. A French-Canadian official looks deep into your eyes and asks if you're bringing any tobacco, alcohol or firearms in to the country. The words buzz around inside your head, reminding you, perhaps, of your more interesting sexual experiences. As you automatically respond "no,'1 it suddenly hits you like a bull moose on the highway: What you really want on this vacation is a quick romp with a Canadian sex worker. But what do you really know about Montreal's vice scene? Where are you going to go if you
only have an extra twenty or so left in the vacation budget? You're certainly not going to any of the city's finer brothels with that kind of change. What's the deal with that lap-dancing place across from your hotel, you wonder? Is it okay to ask one of those dancers if she'd like to earn a nice, crisp American twenty for a few extra minutes of private time in the back booth? Or is that a sure-fire recipe for disaster — one that will end with you thrown out on the street by a posse of righteous bouncers? These are all pertinent questions, of course. And, until recently, Vermonters were pretty much on their own to learn the ins and outs of the Montreal sex industry. But no more. Over at www.Canbest.com, there's a message board strictly devoted to the culture of sexy serveuses and the fine citizens who engage their services. And guess what? With just a quick perusal of the board you can proudly take note that Vermonters are very well represented in the Montreal John community. Functioning as a veritable Consumer Reports on hookers, massage parlors, strip bars and streetwalkers, the Canbest board is an open forum where cus-
Vermont Transit Lines
tomers can exchange tips and advice on the local vice scene. It's a helpful resource if you're a novice about the marketplace. They've even got a glossary of streetwalker lingo so you can decipher the latest whore codes and impress your friends. Did , you know, for instance, that SP stands for Service Provider? I'll bet you didn't. Or that YMMV stands for Your Mileage May Vary? Perhaps it's just my impression, but the Canbest board seems to radiate a lot of love. The contributors really seem to care for one another and are determined to ensure that the John community is well treated by our city's harlots. If these posts are to be believed, some Montreal sex workers can be pretty darn nasty sometimes, and not all of them are 100 percent honest with their customers. Imagine! The Canbest board helps to single out those prostitutes who don t always play •fair, an$i informs Johns what td watch out for. A few typical examples: If you re concerned that you'll pay top dollar for a girl but will really just be serviced by a pimple-faced guy with a wig on, then keep your eyes open for Nathalie, a convincing transvestite who
works the Ontario street circuit. Even more .diabolical, beware the Japanese chick who works the peep shows downtown. Even though she offers the best and most reasonably priced BJ's this side of Papineau, she'll try to steal your wallet with one hand while working you with the other. And, by the way, that foxy blonde BBW (big beautiful woman) over on Huron who looks like she's H M (high mileage) is actually anything but. She's LE (law enforcement), so don't go anywhere near her, unless getting busted turns you on. But the Canbest board is much more than just a place to compare notes on the city's vice scene. Members also tend to wax philosophical about their hedonistic pursuits. For example, "Woodchuck" — a Vermonter
to his hotel room. She performed the whole works for him, and Woodchuck reported back that it was almost like a GFE (girlfriend experience — when the service provided is like being with a girlfriend; it generally includes foreplay — kissing, touching, not rushed — and the provider convincingly pretends to be into the experience as much as the customer). The whole deal only cost him the $60 bar tab — or about onethird what a professional would have charged. Woodchuck urged other contributors to consider going this route some time as well. Apparently, it's a fairly realistic option if you're low on funds but still in the mood for a little lovin'. Woodchuck also said that Lynn was every bit as good as a hooker, because in the morning
The Canbest board helps to single out those prostitutes and informs Johns what to watch out for. i and frequent contributor to the board — recently shared a love experience he had with a Montreal girl named Lynn. On the advice of a taxi driver named Marcil ("a great guy ') he went down to the Winston Churchill Pub in search of meaningful romance. Within a few minutes he met Lynn, an "average-looking girl," hanging out at the bar and, after consuming about $60 worth of drinks, they went back
she got out of bed and left without saying a word to him. So next time you're planning that weekend in Montreal, remember to investigate the Canbest pages before you leave. As any travel agent will tell you, you get the most out of a vacation if you do your research. For some of you, the Canbest board just might be the most useful, uh, tool. (Z)

IBY TOM d & RAY IMAGLIOZZI IV
U.S. DEALER CAN EASE HASSLE OF TAKING EUROPEAN DELIVERY Dear Tom and Ray: So I says to my wife, "Wife, let's go to Germany. "It was a particularly slow Tuesday, and I didn't have anything else to say to her. She caught me totally off guard when, for the first time in jears, she agreed with me. So now I'm going, and I think to myself, "Self wouldn't it be nice to buy a new German car from the factory, California smogemission ready, and have the use of it there, and then bring it home to California, where we live?"So my question is: Can a person of average influence purchase a BMW without going through a U.S. dealer and save any money? Is it worth it? — Doug T O M : No. You'd have to use any savings to pay off the customs officials anyway. So I'd use the dealer, Doug. RAY: I see my brother's beg-
7D classifieds Sftp* 4iage 52
ging for another IRS audit this year. T O M : B M W has a European Delivery program, where you buy the car and make all of the arrangements right from your local dealer in California. Then you mosey on over to Munich at your leisure and pick up the car at the B M W factory. RAY: You drive it around on the autobahn, test out the Wiener schnitzel holders and then put it on a boat whenever you're done. Then you pick it up again at your local dealer six or eight weeks later —all ready to drive in the United States. T O M : The advantages are that you save about 7 percent of the purchase price by picking it up .at the factory. And depending on which model you're buying, that can certainly make a contribution to the cost of the trip. Plus, you don't have to pay to rent a car over there, and that saves you some additional money. RAY: I'm sure you CAN do it on your own, but think about
all of the annoying little things you'd have to arrange for yourself: Insurance for the car while you're driving in Europe, German registration and temporary license plates, marine insurance for the car while it's on the boat, all customs clearances and duties, and then you'd have to pay to have the U.S.-specific accessories installed when it got here. T O M : Not to mention you'd have to learn enough German to say to the German longshoreman, "Please don't swing that crowbar so close to my brand-new 540i, Dieter." RAY: So I'd go through the dealer, Doug. Trying to do something like this on your own, particularly when you don't speak the language, sounds penny-wise and deutsche-mark foolish. Dear Tom and Ray: Are spoilers anything but a way for guys to identify a car as sporty ? I ask because my friend (a guy) is convinced that they give a driver more control by forcing the back end of the car down onto the road. I agree but say that you'd have to be going a lot faster than 65 mph for it to have any effect. Am I right?

RAY: Of course you're absolutely right, Gwen. On a racing car going 220 mph around a curved track, a spoiler helps keep the rear end of the car on the ground. But at 65, or even 75 or 85 mph, a spoiler is like a big sign from the manufacturer saying: "Our market research showed that guys think our car is wimpy. ... We hope this piece of plastic helps." T O M : It's purely a fashion statement, Gwen. It's like wearing hiking boots around the city. It serves no useful, mechanical purpose whatsoever on a street car. RAY: It's not unlike naming a cheap, Korean subcompact the "LeMans," or calling a twodoor version of the Dodge Dart the "Swinger." T O M : Both of which were done, by Pontiac and Dodge, respectively, by the way. RAY: Spoilers tend to be a cheap way to make a not-sosporty car appear sportier. And you'll notice that, in most cases, the truly good-handling cars don't have them because they don't need them.

Dear Cecil, We have been taught to slap on sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. Recently I have come upon a number of references suggesting that our commonly used sunscreens may not be effective at all in preventing melanoma but only in preventing more common but also more benign and treatable skin cancers. Is this true? If so, who is behind the sunscreen lobby ? Thanks in advance for letting your light shine on this. — David de Graaf

Little late in the summer to be bringing this up, but maybe now you'll have something to read in the waiting room at the cancer specialist's. The scariest version of this story is that sunscreen increases your chances of getting cancer. More on that in a mo. First let's answer your question. There's no hard evidence that sunscreen prevents melanoma, the least common but most dangerous skin cancer (42,000 cases per year, and 7000 deaths), or even basal cell carcinoma, the most common, least dangerous cancer (600,000 cases a year, rarely fatal). Sunscreen prevents sunburn and possibly squamous cell carcinoma (200,000 cases, perhaps 2000 deaths). More than that we just don't know. Back to the scary version. Here's the case against sunscreen as presented by Michael Castleman in Mother Jones (www.motherjones.com/mother_jones/MJ98/wellbeing.html): (1) Melanoma was rare before 1950 but subsequently rose to epidemic proportions and now is increasing at a rate of 6 percent annually. (2) Increased sunbathing and the thinning ozone layer can't possibly account for all this. (This is more asserted than proved; I haven't seen scientific studies making these arguments.) (3) Sunscreen use, as measured in sales revenue, rose sharply after 1970. Lifetime melanoma risk increased sharply during roughly the same period. (4) Sunscreens protect against UV-B rays, the primary cause of sunburn, but are less effective against UV-A rays, which penetrate more deeply and, some think, cause melanoma. (5) Sunscreen thus defeats your natural early-warning system against excessive sun exposure — sunburn. Since you don't burn, you stay out longer, and next thing you know you've got a skin tumor the size of Oahu. Sunscreen critics got a boost in February 1998, when epidemiologist Marianne Berwick of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York told a scientific conference that of 10 studies she'd reviewed (including one of her own), two found that sunscreen had a preventative effect, three found no effect, and five found that sunscreen actually increased the risk of melanoma. (Two subsequent studies likewise came to opposite conclusions.) Berwick also questioned the belief that having had three or more instances of severe sunburn before age 18 is a predictor of melanoma — people's memories of such incidents are too unreliable to permit generalizations, she found. Berwick took a lot of heat, but most of it was harrumphing by guys who didn't like her calling their bluff. Fact is, we don't know much about the causes of melanoma, mainly because of a lack of
(a) In exchange for encroaching into the waterfront setback, a permanent public access easement shall be granted to the citv at no additional cost.

"animal models" to study — few suitable lab animals get skin cancer solely due to U V exposure, as humans seem to. Because of that, we can't offer much in the way of definitive statements or useful advice. Having spoken to Berwick and to Frank Gasparro, a dermatology professor and sunscreen expert at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, I can offer only these crumbs: • Genetics are the major factor in melanoma. You're at twice the risk for melanoma if you're a sun worshipper, but six times the risk (according to Berwick) if you're fair-skinned or have lots of moles. If you're of northern European extraction (Celtic in particular), or if you're prone to freckles, get sunburned easily, or have light-colored hair or eyes or a family history of skin cancer, keep sun exposure to a minimum or you're toast. The Australian province of Queensland, whose inhabitants are predominantly Anglo-Saxon, has the highest melanoma rate in the world. An estimated two out of three Australians will be treated for skin cancer by age 75. O n e disconcerting fact: some melanomas aren't caused by sunlight at all. • If you're black, you get a break. Skin cancer risk in whites is 70 times higher than in African-Americans. • Don't shun sunblock. It does prevent sunburn, after all. (Berwick and Gasparro don't buy the sunscreen = cancer theory. Too many unknowns.) But don't make it your sole line of defense. Minimize your solar exposure, particularly during peak hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Too much to ask? Make it 11 to 2.) Wear wide-brimmed hats, clothing that doesn't leave much skin exposed, and sunglasses. Avoid tanning parlors. Protect kids and infants. • If you have Mediterranean-type skin (tans easily), and you feel you must get a tan, do so gradually but steadily. The increased pigment production and thickened skin may offer some protection against melanoma, which is associated with intermittent (e.g., only weekend) exposure to sun. This is controversial advice; some feel a tan is bad for you, period. • Check out sunscreens containing zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzone. Though not easy to come by, these are among the few commercially available ingredients known to protect against UV-A. Which doesn't necessarily cause melanoma, I hasten to say, but might. When we know so little about skin cancer, no sense leaving anything to chance. — CECIL ADAMS

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Harper's Index reports that it would require 60,133 ants to carry away a 10-pound picnic basket and 14,286,000,000 fireflies to create a ball of light equal in brilliance to the sun. These images should embolden you as you contemplate the intricate work ahead of you. While you probably won't accomplish any stunning breakthroughs overnight, you just might be able to complete a quantum leap comprised of a thousand baby steps about two weeks from now.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In most circumstances I wholeheartedly endorse the motto of Harry Potters school, Hogwarts: Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus, or "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon." Given the odd strains of luck that are currently weaving their way into your fate, however, combined with a fresh surge in your power to command animal energy in all its forms, I'm moved to make an exception. You're not just a great dragon-tamer these days; you could actually coax dragons into going to work for you. So let the tickling begin, Taurus! O n e caveat: If I were you I wouldn't try to get them to do trivial tasks like toasting marshmallows.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I never thought I'd see the day when I would quote the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant. Stuffy, scholarly, reserved, and abstract, the dude was in many ways the opposite of me. And yet I now find myself driven to draw on his teaching for your seed o' the week. Whatever action you take, he said, you should regard it as illustrative of a maxim worthy of being a universal law. This is tough but useful advice for you, Gemini, as you enter into a phase when you'll be tempted to believe you can get away with living by a special set of rules.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are you a typical Crab? Do you unleash so much nurturing that at times you don't know when to stop? If so, I have good news. The gods are now willing to help you develop a better sense of when you're about to cross the line into compulsive, toxic generosity. As you work on this task, keep the following scene in mind as a guide: When flight attendants give the safety spiel as an airplane is readying for take-off, they note that in the event of a loss of pressure in the cabin, oxygen masks will drop down from the ceiling for the use of passengers. If you're in charge of a small child, they say, you should put your mask on first, then the child's. The moral of the story: You're no good to those you want to help unless you take expert care of yourself first. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): This week's assignment came directly from my inside sources at the kingdom of heaven. They suggest that you make a voodoo doll of yourself, then do the opposite of what's usually done with such an effigy. A simple sock puppet will work fine, though the magic will be enhanced if you devote your most loving artistry to the project. Once you've constructed your Mini-Me, shove 13 pins in it to represent the wounds you've collected over the years. Then, on a night when you can be alone, dine on your favorite food, take a long bath, and light a purple candle. O n e by one, remove the pins and pass them through the flame. As you do, visualize a fountain of joy and vitality welling up inside you, and say, "Begone forever, old prick! You no longer have any power to hurt me."

straight or gay or bisexual, you are now as luxuriantly fecund as your fellow Virgo, blues musician B.B. King, who by most accounts has fathered 16 children with 16 different moms. While I would argue against you modeling your next moves precisely after King's approach, I nevertheless hope you will express your fertility with an equal exuberance and prolificness.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My favorite Welsh myth has themes akin to the adventures looming for you. Here 'tis. The witch Cerridwen prepares a cauldron for a brew that will confer great wisdom. Because it'll take a year to cook, she hires a boy named Gwion to stir it. Near the end of the job, three drops splash onto Gwion's finger. When he tastes it, he's filled with power and knowledge, much to Cerridwen's dismay: He's not the intended recipient. Gwion flees, turning himself into a hare using his new magic. Cerridwen changes into a greyhound and pursues him. He then becomes a fish in a river, and she an otter; he a bird and she a hawk; he a grain of wheat and she a hen that swallows him. Nine months later, he's born from her belly and begins a new life in which he becomes a great wizard.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For weeks you've dreamed of pawing through a pig pen on your hands and knees, hunting for the pearl that may or may not be there. For months you've been poring over your lost chances and frustrated dreams, searching for that one unambiguous clue to the Great Liberation. And now, finally, Scorpio, you're seriously thinking of giving God an ultimatum: "Either put up or shut up!" But before you actually lift your gaze
skyward and scream that dubious prayer, let me beg you to wait another two weeks. In the meantime, as both a tease and a promise, I offer you these two lines of a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning: "Earth's crammed with heaven/ And every common bush afire with God."
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Let it be known, once and for all, I do not wish to be civilized," proclaimed Oscar Wilde's nephew, the boxer-poet Arthur Cravan. This was 80 years ago. At the time he made his proclamation, he was steering a wheelbarrow through the streets of Paris distributing his hot-off-the-presses, rabble-rousing magazine Maintenant. I believe this scene could be of great inspiration for you, Sagittarius. Think about it. Cravan was making a tangible impact on people with his passionate ideas while at the same time declaring his intention to stay wild. Isn't that what you should be doing in the weeks to come?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): "The miracle of the psyche's ways," says Clarissa Pinkola Estes in Women Who Run With the Wolves, "is that even if you are halfhearted, irreverent, didn't mean to, didn't really hope to, don't want to, feel unworthy to, aren't ready for it, you will accidentally stumble upon treasure anyway." I believe this describes what has recently happened to you, Capricorn. And your next move? What is the half-thrilling, half-oppressive challenge you now face? Estes: "Then it is your soul's work to not overlook what has been brought up, to recognize treasure as treasure no matter how unusual its form."
eb. 18): Before heading off to e Democratic National Convention, some friends of mine were trained in nonviolent protest by the Ruckus Society. They learned how to scale high places to unfurl banners and how to remain polite towards cops whose provocations might make their bodies flood with adrenaline. They also found out that if they expected to block an intersection or doorway by binding themselves together with other activists for a good long time, they had to be willing to wear diapers. Are you ready to rise to this intense level of commitment this week, Aquarius? I hope so. My advice is this: If you're not willing to be more than half-assed, don't get your ass involved at all.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): "Dear Dr. Brezsny: Please answer the question all of us Pisces beg to know. How do we find that sexual partner who is both relaxed yet dominating, polite yet dirty, intelligent yet grunting, sensitive enough to be humble, but happy enough not to care what I think about his every little move — and of course, totally devoted yet not a psychotic stalker? — Earth Chick." Dear Earth Chick: Your answer is similar to the reply I give everyone who's on a quest: To get what you want, become what you want. For you, that would mean being relaxed yet dominating, polite yet dirty, intelligent yet grunting, etc. ®
