questio

What’s your most traumatic back-to-school story? My first day in a new school a football player picked me up and plopped me on a table in the student lounge. “ What’s your name?” he hollered. “ Hey everyone, here’s Lisamarie. She’s new. Give her a hand.” The entire room clapped and yelled while I stood there. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

— Lisamarie Charlesworth Production Manager, Christensen Design Burlington Going to college was traumatic, the professors were so intimidating, and the work was so much hard er than high school.

— Paul Clack Sales, The Drawing Board, Inc. Montpelier

DON’T GIVE AWAY ENDING I was reading the review of Planet o f the Apes [August 1] by Rick Kisonak... As I read it, I believe he started to give away the ending of the movie. I stopped reading at that point... Does Mr. Kisonak really believe people would rather read his review and revelation of the end of the picture than see it themselves? Please inform him that, despite bad reviews, people will still see a picture. Most of us realize that reviews only occasionally accurate ly represent the impression a pic ture leaves on the general public, and that the vast majority would prefer to not be given surprise end ings or important plot turns until they see the movie themselves. — Steve Wyland, M.D. Saranac Lake, New York D O N ’T SACRIFICE ANIMALS TO ZOOS Chris Barry showed bad taste and, I believe, a callous and insult ing disregard for the welfare and ethical treatment (or lack thereof) that animals face in zoos [“Where the Wild Things Are,” August 1]. His mention of the abuse and mal treatment of animals was often fol lowed by some remark which alter nately praised the zoos for other reasons. Ultimately, his article only served to reinforce the dangerous

I find it sardonically amusing that every time someone from the left of center writes about the Disneyesque manner in which the United States celebrates patriotic holidays, a Neanderthal from the John Birch Society rears his ugly ideology and screams, “America: Love it or leave it!” With sophomoric wisdom, Walter Allen [“Weekly Mail,” August 1] assails Brian Walsh’s exposure of our hypocrisy by implying liberal thought leads to a socio-pinko commie hiding under every bed and in every closet. I wonder if Mr. Allen con siders the greatest socialist cre ation in the world to be unAmerican — that is the U.S. public library system. Mr. Allen encourages those who disagree with his near-sighted politi cal vision to relocate to foreign soil. I argue that Mr. Allen and his Robert W. Welch ilk should be the ones to restation. Although Afghanistan is the most suitable destination for right-wing suppres sive beliefs, the countries currently receiving the highest amount of U.S. corporative-military assistance are Colombia, Nigeria and Turkey. Bon voyage, Mr. Allen, and

UNHAPPY CAMPER I would like to give another version of Rock Camp [“Happy Campers?” August 9]. I arrived at Rock Camp the first day, fresh off a weeklong stay at the National Guitar Workshop in Connecticut with high hopes and expectations. Despite the fact that I had attempted to reach Rock Camp on numerous occasions by both the phone and e-mail, I never received a response to my inquiries. The first day I arrived to find out there were only 17 students signed up. One was over 21 (besides myself) and all the rest were 17 or under... . Overall, the kids were left unsupervised for long periods of time, only a small portion of the instructors listed on the flyer actu ally attended, and topics that were supposed to be covered at the camp weren’t. My final observation was that this camp was poorly organized and run from beginning to end. Anyone interested in going next year should make sure Rock Camp delivers what it promises or don’t go. Rock Camp was a great idea poorly done. — Bill Burnett Milton

notion that it is our right to cap ture, exploit and even mistreat ani mals for our own amusement and, presumably, education. I will never attend a zoo, or a circus, for no matter the degree of supposed fluff, pampering or sensi tivity, zoos still personify our will ingness to displace and exploit ani mals to satisfy our appetites to see and do it all, no matter the cost or implications. As for the argument that zoos fill an important role in educating children about the web of life, interdependence and the importance of preservation and conservation, I say that’s for the most part a bunch of bunk. Books, videos and immersion in the nat ural world will, I believe, do far better at raising children to view themselves as equal cohabitants in the larger web of life. Supporting various grassroots and larger organizations dedicated to the same causes to which zoos supposedly are would be a far bet ter choice, for the former do so... without exploiting the very ani mals' they are supposing to protect. As for the little ones not being able to see and giggle at the monkey antics and so on, it seems a small sacrifice compared to that made of the animals. — Chris Steller Montpelier

august 29, 2001

A Sore Loser? Saturdays meeting of the Vermont Republican Party’s state committee up on the hill at the LaGue Inn in Berlin was a pleasant trip down memory lane. The bulk of the meeting was a one-hour pres entation by the infamous Massachusetts carpetbag ger who made Fred Tuttle a national hero. You’ll recall Jack McMuffin, er McMullen, lost the GOP’s 1998 U.S. Senate primary to the retired Tunbridge dairy farmer who spent all of 17 bucks on his campaign. Fred Tuttle, star of the smallbudget hit film Man With a Plan, embarrassed Vermont’s GOP leadership as he easily knocked off the Massachusetts millionaire, winning 54 percent of the vote. Fred then went on to endorse the Democratic incumbent, Patrick J. Leahy. You can still see Spread Fred bumper stickers across the state. Mr. Tuttle made the simple point that one has to pay one’s dues in Vermont before one dares to represent Vermonters on Capitol Hill. Mr. McMullen, a softspoken, rather shy gentleman, has remained in the Green Mountains, living in Burling ton’s Hill Section. But what was sadly made crystal clear Saturday is the fact that Millionaire Jack still hasn’t gotten over being whipped by Farmer Fred. BY PETER McMullen wants Vermonters to officially register their party affiliation. That way Democrats and Progressives would be prevented from crossing over to vote in the Republican pri mary, as many did in the Tuttle-McMullen race. Vermont eliminated party “recordation” back in 1970. The open primary process appears to be working fine, but Mr. McMullen wants to go back wards, and everybody knows why. Under the McMullen Plan, one would have to either get the votes of 10 percent of the delegates to a state convention or the signatures of 500 registered Republicans to get one’s name on the primary bal lot. At Saturday’s meeting, State Rep. Richard MarrOll of Stowe asked McMullen if, other than his race in 1998, there was any evidence of crossover votes changing an outcome. Marron struck a sensitive nerve, and Jack gave a gobblygook answer that ducked the question. After all, if crossover Democrats and Progressives were responsible for doing in McMullen, how come the same crossover Democrats and Progressives did not take down Ruth Dwyer? Both races drew just under 53,000 ballots. But while McMullen, the Massachusetts carpetbagger, was defeated, Ruthless Ruth easily knocked off Bernie Rome.

Go figure. Just because GOP primary voters did not want you to lead them, dear Jack, doesn’t mean we need to revamp the Vermont election process. C’mon McMullen, get over it! You lost fair and square. Let’s face it, you’re no Hillary Clinton. GOP gubernatorial hopeful Cornelius Hogan had a quick and on-the-mark reaction to McMullen’s proposed rule change. King Con told the Caledonian Record, “I think it’s stupid.” There is one alternative to the current system Mr. McMullen might consider — he could start his own party. There could even be secret McMullen Party handshakes and passwords to get into the meetings. Secret tattoos, winks, nods and whistles, too. No doubt a McMullen Party would have a “meritocracy” based on annual gross income to keep the riffraff out. Hey, it just might work. In fact, it might be the only way to ever get Jack McMuffin, er, McMullen’s name on a November election ballot in Vermont. Another Benedict Arnold? — Also at Saturday’s

conclave, state committee members heard from the two candidates vying to replace Patrick Garahan as state chairman. Garahan and family are moving out

of their monster house across from Overlook Park on Spear Street for a new life in sunny San Diego. In his farewell remarks to the party, Garahan got a wee bit emotional as he recounted the bravery of his late father, a company commander in tfie 7th Army during World War II. His dad, he said, won a Silver Star for personally taking out a German sniper. • It was a patriotic moment for the state chairman, a former Coast Guard officer and “Jeopardy” cham pion. But the kicker was Gar,ahan’s public admission to the party faithful that his beloved father had been “a life-long Democrat.” Jeezum crow, Patsy, how could you? All these years and we hadn’t a clue you were just another Benedict Arnold.

New Blood — Joe Acinapura of Brandon and Joyce Errecart of

Shelburne are running for Patsy’s job. Joe — who worked closely with McMullen on the proposed party rule changes — gave an upbeat, can-do candidate-style speech. He spoke of the three “Is”: ideas, issues and ideals. He prom ised focus groups where party activists, “along with relatives and friends,” could express their true feelings. “We have done so much with so little for so long,” said Acinapura, “we think we can do anything with nothing forever.” Cute. Mrs. Errecart essentially present ed her resume. Born in Vergennes FREYNE and raised in Pittsford, Joyce worked for Congressman Dick Mallary in the early 1970s. She went to law school and became a trial lawyer for the IRS. In 1991 Gov. Richard Snelling appointed her tax commissioner. She downsized the department by 10 percent, increased delinquent col lections and got refunds out faster than the federates. The winner and new Republican Party chairman will be selected at the state committee’s October 27 meeting. Pearl Among Swine? — Also in attendance in

Berlin on Saturday — and decked out in what looked like a new suit — was Mr. Anti-Homosexual Agenda himself: Brian Pearl of Grand Isle. Since same-sex marriage hit the fan, Brian’s been a regular Statehouse hanger-on. In Mr. Pearl’s unique view, Gov. Howard Dean advocated sex with' children. The Guv called him a right-wing wacko. Hey, if the shoe fits? Mr. Pearl challenged Dean in the 2000 primary and received 4357 votes (11.7 percent). He told Seven Days Saturday he will be attending the Republican caucus in Grand Isle next month and is planning on running for governor in 2002 as a Republican. Oh, boy! Hey, since the two current GOP gubernatorial candidates, Jim Douglas and Con Hogan, are prochoice and don’t want to repeal civil unions, Mr. Pearl will at least give right-wingers a reason to vote on Primary Day 2002. Throw in Nancy Sheltra for lieutenant and you’d have a real powerhouse ticket, eh? Never Too Late — Back in 1993, the issue of pro viding health insurance coverage for the “domestic partners” of city employees was such a hot item it cost Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelle his job. Many frightened voters saw it as an attempt to legit imize homosexual behavior. Shocking! Two years later Mayor Moonie mounted a suc cessful comeback, and today — eight years later — insurance coverage for domestic partners is status quo. So status quo, in fact, that the multinational corporation that runs America’s largest newspaper chain has finally decided to get with the program. The stingy, union-busting Gannett Co., owners of The Burlington Free Press and 98 other dailies, has informed its publishers it will begin offering domes tic partner benefits as of January 1, 2002. Gannett workers have been fighting for such coverage for seven years.

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Ruscombmanor Township, Pennsylvania, said Christian A. McDade, 25, is the man who robbed the same con venience store she times in five months. He was finally arrested after being photographed by a surveillance photo wearing a clear plastic bag over his face, which simplified identification. “It was a big relief when they told me they got my guy,” said Larry C. Mattox, 68, the clerk who was victimized all six times. • Paul Fulham, 23, was sen tenced to a year in jail after dis playing a “sheer lack of criminal professionalism,” according to defense attorney Finian Brannigan, who noted his clientlifted his stocking mask to greet people while on the way to rob a store next to his childhood home in Drogheda, Ireland. “He was going through Christmas in an alcoholic haze and went to the only shop in town where he was sure to be recognized, as he had lived nearby all his life,” Brannigan said. “He said hello to people he knew and was falling about all over the place and then couldn’t get out of the door of the shop.”

When Jet Skis Aren’t Enough Montanas Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission approved emergency restrictions on “water skipping.” The increasingly pop ular summer sport involves gun ning a snowmobile down a bank

or boat ramp into the water at full speed and hydroplaning across the water. The 500-pound machines, which aren’t designed for water and don’t float, will sink if they run out of gas, stall or slow too much. The commis sion’s action was prompted by the July 8 death of Gary Hoyt, who drowned in a Montana reservoir after his snowmobile lost momentum and sank. He wasn’t wearing a life jacket and couldn’t swim.

Better Late Than Never Jorginho Guinle, Brazil’s most famous playboy, has been forced by financial circum stances to take his first job — at age 85. A bon vivant who in his heyday seduced Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth and other celebrities, Guinle has been hired by a Rio de Janeiro travel agency to serve as a guide for rich Brazilians traveling in Europe and the United States. “I thought I would die before the money ran out,” he said. “I lived too long, but I had a lot of fun, and now it’s time to work.” • Harold Stilson, 101, became the oldest golfer ever to make a hole-in-one, when he aced the 16th hole at the Deerfield Country Club in Deerfield Beach, Florida. • Lucretia Hodges, a 50-year-old great-grandmother, gave birth to a son in Fairfax, Virginia.

Revenge of the Vegetable Kingdom Thousands of foot-long and larger leaves from corn stalks fell like rain across the eastern edge of Wichita, Kansas, on August 4 and 5, baffling authorities and weather experts. “It was a pretty large area where people reported it,” Weather Data Inc. meteorol ogist Chad Pettera said, noting there had been no unusual weather that might explain the falling corn husks. National Weather Service meteorological technician Holly Kreutzer added, “There weren’t strong winds. I don’t see how they could have gotten blown up in the air.”

his fifties. “He was a passionate lover of rock ’n’ roll when he was a student,” college spokesman Buff Lindau says of the chairman and CEO she describes as “very, very cool.” After graduation, Freston grew an upstart music station into a $3 billion network that now reaches 342 million households worldwide. Ironically, none of those MTV households are in the gold town of Stowe. Neither its 20-year track record nor the “cool” Colchester connection has convinced Stowe Cablevision to make it an option for viewers in the shadow of M ount Mansfield. Why? With audible anxiety, office manager Sandra Godin explained that was a question only the “president” of the company could answer. But he never called back. For weeks, Godin shielded her mystery boss as if she were protecting high-level nuclear secrets from an Iraqi terrorist. Finally, she surrendered. “He doesn’t want to talk to the newspaper,” she said, then confirmed: “We have many parents here in Stowe who have requested that we not carry MTV.” That means the impressionable youth of Stowe can tune into “Sex in the City” and “The Sopranos,” but they have to go to Waterbury to get a look at Britney’s bare belly. There’s a fine line between protective parenting and censorship . . . That extends beyond the living room. The Colchester school district — along with 13 others serviced by Mountain Transit — have banned broad casting 95XXX on local school busses. Apparently the morning blow-job banter, violent lyrics and reports from “Brigitte the Sexologist” were determined too racy for young riders. “We leave it up to the driver’s discretion, but have said no’ to any of the sugges tive radio stations that may lead the children astray,” says general manager John ShaiTOW, confirming Triple X is the “hottest one in Chittenden County.” He couldn’t name any other radio stations that were off-limits. “We recommend that they not play anything while they’re driving, be it country music or elevator music,” he adds. “You can’t please everyone on a 47-person bus.” IN BRIEF Vermont’s teachers continue to go to the head of the class.

The current issue of People magazine singled out Fairlee educator Louisa MoatS for her efforts to promote the importance of orthog raphy. That’s spelling, folks, and Moats — no relation to Pulitzer Prize-winning David of the Rutland H erald— is convinced “beeing there” is directly related to literacy. In a question-and-answer section, she acknowledges a national spelling crisis, noting “you see signs all over the place with apostrophe s’ when it means a plural, not a pos sessive. It’s really getting alarming.” She should check out some of the menus in Burlington . . . The Queen City might be joining a national effort to promote reading among its residents. Cities across the country are selecting a single book — a municipal reading rec ommendation — that it considers crucial to the civilization of its citizenry. Gives new meaning to the term “public works.” The city of Chicago has already chosen To Kill a Mockingbird. Rochester opted for A Lesson in Dying. Mayor Peter Clavelle is soliciting suggestions . . . He might give a listen to the authors represented in “Vermont Fiction Live” — a fundraiser featuring Vermont stage actors like Ethan Bowen, Rusty Dewees and Dee Pelletier reading works by

behind the creative black-tie event next Saturday at the Flynn, which doubles as a tribute to Victor Swenson. The executive director of the Vermont Council on the Humanities is retiring after 28 years. Now that’s a tough act to follow . . . Portions of the wiretapped con versations between Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky are replayed verbatim in an off-Off Broadway show that stars Flynn Center acting teacher Jean Taylor. Snatches is a comedy about the rapport between the two women “and the way male relationships shape and affect female friendships,” says her colleague Joan Robinson, who saw the show in New York. Taylor starts teaching classes next week in Burlington, but the show may get one more hearing at the Flynn... The man radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh called “an environ mental wacko” is leaving the Adirondacks to spend a year at Middlebury College. As a “visiting scholar in environmental stud ies,” writer Bill McKibben will get an office — but no students — to do research and write. He is the author of The End o f Nature and, most recently, a book about his efforts to become a cross-country ski racer, entitled The Year o f Living Strenuously. Hopefully the next 12 months will be an easier haul. ®

B y S usan Green andi-Lynn Dusharm’s selfportrait in charcoal is more full-bodied than the petite Burlington High School grad appears in the flesh. Taped to the wall in a classroom at Commun ity College of Vermont, the pic ture — on a length of brown wrapping paper — is one of eight student efforts being cri tiqued in the final Intro to Life Drawing of the summer semester. “Perhaps you weren’t able to see very distinct contrasts,” instruc tor Bob Huntoon suggests, refer ring to the somewhat flat face in the drawing. “I guess I was afraid to shade what’s supposed to be skin,” acknowledges Dusharm, 17. “I thought it might smudge.” A few moments later, she tells Huntoon that the class has helped her learn “how to put what’s in my mind on paper and trust my instincts more.” Dusharm’s participation in the course — before attending Champlain College in the fall as a graphic design major — points to CCV’s changing student demographics.

ermont’s 30-year-old com munity college system was launched in Montpelier as a way to help adults return to their studies after raising families or establishing careers. “We were committed to bringing education to people where they were,” says .Elmer Kimble, northwest region al director. “It started with little store front operations,” adds Steffan. The system grew. And grew. There are now 12 “teaching loca tions” across Vermont — Ben nington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Middlebury, Montpelier, Morrisville, Newport, Rutland, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Springfield and White River Junction.

campus or adding a second loca tion somewhere in Chittenden County. CCV officials are in talks about a joint venture with Vermont Technical College and Johnson State College’s external degree program, which currently takes place at CCV on weekends, that could lead to a more perma nent arrangement elsewhere. “We don’t look at expansion as a problem,” says Steffan. “It’s exciting to us.”

are now younger than 18. “Traditional” college-age students are also enrolling in droves — up from 5 percent five years ago, they now account for more than 50 percent of the learners at CCV Burlington. Steffan explains, “They can save $10,000 to $40,000 by attending a com munity college for the first two years and then transferring” to other schools, such as the University of Vermont. Favorable economics and accessibility also make CCV appealing to working people and parents with busy lives. Similarly, a large influx of New Americans has significantly altered the com plexion of the student body. “The refugee numbers are huge this semester, as well as people recently moved to the area from other places,” Steffan notes. “It’s a very colorful place.” New programs, particularly in the arts, have been attracting stu dents who might never have given the college serious consid eration in the past. Instructors — some of whom have never taught before but have years of valuable experience to share — are being recruited from the region’s impressive cultural community.

students who were trying to resume their education after a long hiatus, the two-year com munity college now boasts “the most diverse classrooms in the state,” says Dee Steffan, coordi nator of academic services. By focusing on underserved populations, CCV is attracting teenagers who want to supple ment their high school curricu lum — about 90 CCV students

The school supports them with a range of professional develop ment opportunities. The Burlington site on Pearl Street, which was bursting at the seams a few years ago, doubled in 1998 with a rented annex above Borders on Cherry Street. Now maxed out again, the school is looking to expand from 25,000 square feet to 40,000 or 50,000 — by establishing a downtown

i»

The total state-wide student enrollment is more than 5000. CCV has 125 full-time staff members and more than 700 part-time employees, most of whom are adjunct instructors. “O ur 1982 goal was to be within 25 miles of most of the states population,” says Tim Donovan, CCV’s new president. “We did that in about four years. That’s a significant part .of our

value — we’re a local resource for everyone.” Established in 1983 and now the largest site, Burlington enroll ment has jumped 8 percent this year from the previous 1400. An online “distance learning” divi sion has mushroomed 40 percent in just two years, from 50 to 483 students now able to choose among 57 courses. A school that was designed primarily for older learners — the ratio was once 90 percent nontraditional — is now embrac ing an influx of the young. One reason for this change might be the cost. Tuition is $117 per credit for in-state students, com

pared with $335 at the University of Vermont, $345 at Burlington College, $350 at Champlain and a whopping $650 at St. Michael’s. “It gets them started,” observes Jody Albright, coordina tor of CCV-Burlington’s per forming arts program and a member of the Rise to the Challenge team that works with high schoolers interested in tak ing college courses. Two years is a theoretical proposition, however. “We call ourselves a two-year college, but lots of people are not full-time, so they’ll be here much longer,” Albright says. “Hardly anybody

takes five classes at once.” Another key to the school’s growing popularity is surely the fact that it’s easy to get in. “We don’t have any entrance require ments,” Steffan points out. “We begin at pre-college level. It’s rare when we can’t help someone. No matter where you are in aptitude or intellect, you can find your own challenge here. Some stu dents are diamonds in the rough.” Debbie Stevens-Tuttle had been out of high school for 23 years when she thought about attending college for the first time in 1995. “I had gone through a horrible divorce and

Real-Life L e s s o n s W hen war came to Gordana Pobric’s small home town in Bosnia nine years ago, it quickly became clear her life would never be the same. Bosanski Brod, near the Croatian border, “was full of sol diers and strangers with guns,” she wrote in an autobio graphical essay that earned her a $1500 scholarship in a contest held one year ago by the New Jersey-based Townsend Foundation. “Nothing was as before.” Now a full-time student at Community College of Vermont in Burlington, the. 33-year-old New North End resident is one of the record number of refugees attend ing a school that seems to have taken the lead in making education accessible to the area’s immigrant population — new Americans now account for 6 percent of the stu dent population. Pobric is among the largest contingent: Bosnians who fled the horrific ethnic cleaning policies that turned neighbor against neighbor in the former Yugo-slavia. “My English was pretty poor when I came to America in 1997,” she says of the reluctant odyssey that brought her — along with husband Jasmin and their two young sons — to Vermont last year by way of Germany and Seattle. “At CCV, I just find the right people who are there for me. One instructor, Tricia Griffith, gave me the most courage. She just believed in me. And Tom Smith is the perfect person to talk with about anything.” Pobric is referring to the school’s immigrant scholar ship administrator, who performs the same service for

had been sick for some time,” recalls the mother of two from Essex Junction. “But it was clear to me that I really needed an education if I was going to do anything with my life.” Despite that desire, StevensTuttle felt as if she was facing the unknown. “I was terrified. It took every bit of courage to walk in that door, with two kids in tow. I talked with an academic advisor, who recommended some courses. She was wonderful.” Once enrolled as a threequarter-time student, StevensTuttle pursued an associate degree in liberal arts. “I had the most amazing instructors,” she

the entire state college system while also teaching English as a Second Lang-uage and The Bridge Program, which includes ESL, introduction to American culture and computer survival skills. “It’s really like an alternative cit izenship program,” Smith says. CCV’s newest wave of emigres is from Congo and Sudan — specifically the young men known as The Lost Boys, a name given to almost 20,000 wandering children who were orphaned, kidnapped by rival armies or fleeing the peril. “Working with refugees is incredibly inspiring,” Smith explains. “It’s so moving to hear their life stories. In June, my own computer class had a student from the Congo who came in one day and said: ‘I found my children!’ They’d turned up after two and a half years at a churchrun camp in Uganda. She told us she’d been coming to school every day and crying every night.”. Earlier this month, the Vermont State Colleges

says. “They encouraged me and fostered my natural curiosity in ways that went beyond the call of duty. They gave me reading lists. They found me work at CCV to help my finances. They took a genuine interest in me as a per son. I was told, ‘You can do whatever you want.’” The prediction came true. She finished in three years, and was accepted at UVM as an anthropology major. Three years after that — last May — StevensTuttle graduated summa cum laude and is now a research coor dinator in the university’s neurolcontinued on page 11

announced a $5000 scholarship fund earmarked for Sudanese students hoping to take classes at CCV. Later, the refugees would be able to apply for an Immigrant Assistance Schola-rship, which is co-funded by a grant from the Freeman Found-ation of Stowe. For instructors, the influx of non-native speakers can be challenging. “We have to learn to talk more slowly and make instructions clearer,” Smith points out. “Reading and writing to these students requires a lot of referring to the dictionary. Many are juggling work, family and college.” Gordana Pobric’s juggling act once involved a job as a machine operator, at York Capacitor in Winooski, before an internship allowed her to build a Web page for the company. Now unem ployed, she hopes to find a work-study slot at CCV while concentrating on her academic pursuits in the field of computer management systems and mathematics. “They give you so much opportunity at this college,” Pobric says. “It opens up my eyes and my mind. I feel I’m coming home here.” ® _

ive-action role-playing, eat ing cereal all afternoon or performing “otter nonsense” might sound like pastimes you’d find down Alice’s rabbit hole. In fact, they’re but a few of the extra-curricular activities offered to students on some Vermont college campuses. “Clubs” are supported financially by the schools — up to $15,000 annu ally — and provide opportunities for developing an interesting life outside the classroom. In any case, whether raising social awareness off-campus or snow boarding for free, students sure can’t complain there’s nothing to do. Here’s a sampling of clubs offered at the University of Vermont, Middlebury College and St. Michael’s College.

august 29, 2001

Cereal Club: W ith a purpose all “Seinfeld” fans will recognize, these club members do exactly as the name suggests: eat cereal. Led by a club president, the Cereal Club’s goal is “unifying the stu dents of UVM together through all different kinds of cereal.” Now that’s diversity. Any UVM

student who loves cereal is wel come. The club meets weekly to talk, watch TV, do homework and “eat cereal in a comforting and de-stressing environment.’ Different breakfast foods are introduced each week, though students can stick to their beloved Coco Puffs or Capt’n Crunch if they really want to. Paintball Club: A popular week end activity becomes a UVMfunded club sport. Members, both male and female, purchase or rent paintball supplies, includ ing the guns and balls, and play as often as possible. Club bylaws tout paintball as an important part of the club-sport scene because it “teaches many vital skills necessary in life. These include teamwork, decision-mak ing, self-reliance and strategic and tactical thinking.” Members also believe that paintball pro motes health — but it’s not too great for your clothes. Society of Automotive Engineers: Not surprisingly, only engineering students join this one — who else would want to? Members put their studies to real-world use and get some dirty-hands-on training. Club funds go to buying and main

taining vehicles, generally to enter in local races with other engineers. In the upcoming school year, the group plans to float an amphibious vehicle in a national competition against other universities. Medieval Society: With events such as costume dances, feasts, cooking classes, armored combat, archery, metalwork and fencing, the Medieval Society is dedicated to reliving the Middle Ages — without, presumably, the Black Death. Charlie and Kitty Club: Got school spirit but want to stay behind the scenes — or, more accurately, a mask? This club allows all members a chance to be UVM ’s mascot for a day. Charlie and Kitty Catamount appear at all university sporting events, and other occasions where the presence of the Catamount would “enhance the event.” Meow. Citizen Awareness Training for Students: This club is unique in that it comprises only students, but encompasses the entire Burlington community in its actions. Recognizing the need for a productive town-gown relation-

M iddlebury C ollege S t. M ichael’s C ollege Fly Fishing Club: Middlebury is the one of the few Vermont col leges with school-funded fishing. Students in the Fly Fishing Club say they are “embracing the sport of fly fishing” as a complement to their liberal arts education. Its mission statement says members strive to help “newcomers and old hands to appreciate Ver mont’s rivers and streams.” Does that extend to skinnydipping? Otter Nonsense Players: Perfect for Monty Python wannabes, this thespian club is dedicated to performing comedy, both written and improvisational. The Players act out in front of off- and oncampus audiences throughout the year. All students — not just theater majors — are welcome to audition. Cricket Club: Middlebury stu dents are reviving an old game formerly the bailiwick of Britain's upper crust. One of the few clubs open to both staff and stu dents, it may be the only place a freshman could lob a fast hard ball at his teacher, or complain “That’s not cricket.” Members play on-campus weekly and also compete with off-campus teams. Prajna Insight Society: Although many campuses have religious

Able Handicaps through Education, Advocacy and Deter mination: The purpose of AHEAD is to provide outreach programs to students with dis abilities. It functions as both sup port group and liaison with other organizations involved in similar interests, and promotes awareness with discussions, activities and programming. AHEAD is the only student-run program at a Vermont college dedicated to students with disabilities and improving their way of life. Role-Playing Club: Still haven’t outgrown your Dungeons & Dragons phase? You’re not alone. This club provides “an alternative form of entertainment within a safe environment that stimulates the imagination and expands the mind.” In fact, role-playing is a growing trend on college cam puses. Many Web sites, including Yahoo, even let you do it online.

ii a Catholic school setting, a Jewish book mistress goes on faith B y R uth H orowitz or four years in the mid1980s, I worked as the librarian at Notre Dame Academy Girls’ Catholic High School in West Los Angeles. I’d moved to L.A. to live with my soon-to-be-husband, David, who was then a graduate student at UCLA. The city felt strange and far from home — a place where I was just visiting and didn’t really belong. Though I’d been through library school and worked as a children’s librarian, I never quite • shook off the unsettling feeling at Notre Dame that I was an imposter.

under 30, and the idea of anyone actually hiring me for such a grown-up position seemed ridiculous. Answering to “Ms. Horowitz” and handing out hall passes felt like playing school. And because my mother was not only a school librarian, but also a powerful personality and force within the profession, the job always had about it an air of dress-up, a sense of crawling into Mommy’s closet and trying on

their blouses buttoned to the throat. Michael Jackson fans wore their blazers with the collars turned up and sleeves pushed back. Seniors wore special white pullovers. And students without much money still sported the checked skirts and yellow blouses left over from before the school uniform was updated. The nuns, who lived in the convent adjacent to the school and all had some form of “Mary” in their name, wore knee-length habits in black or gray and short black or gray veils held in place with starched white wimples. In this strictly ordered uni verse, only we lay faculty were T-kft to dress ourselves, and this freedom didn’t sit well with me. The first thing I did, after Sister Marie Paul offered me the job, was buy a gray woolen skirt and a blazer. I was thinking camou flage. If I could blend in sartori ally, my reasoning went, maybe they wouldn’t learn my awful secret: that the assistant principal had been fooled into hiring a sham — someone stunningly illsuited for the position.

Williston Road S. Burlington glanced up from my desk. Beside me, a ceramic Virgin sat serenely, an enormous tome lying open in her lap. Carved in the pedestal beneath her feet were the words “O ur Lady of the Library.” The shelves themselves were filled with Papal Encyclicals and biographies of saints. The Lord’s Prayer was broadcast each morn ing over the P.A. system, and the whole school — myself included — was expected to attend Mass on every Holy Day of Obliga tion. Once I got used to it, I actu ally enjoyed Mass. I liked the pageantry of the priest in his clean white robe, and the proces sion of banners and crosses and candles. I liked the shine of the girls’ shampooed heads, all bowed in respect as the priest raised the host. I liked, the quiet dignity with which they filed for ward, hands folded, for com munion. I liked the song they sang about being lifted on eagles’ wings. Arms draped over each other’s shoulders, they swayed in long, fluid waves, as if already balanced on the breeze. I liked it all — but I wasn’t

a major focus of my insecurity was religion. Images of Jesus and Mary were everywhere: in the flower-encircled Madonna patiently opening her palms beside the front door, and in the sinewy crucifix hanging at the bend in the stairs. Inside the library, a two-foot crucifix presided over the 700s, where I could contemplate its message of suffering and sacrifice each time I

Our Lady... continued from page 15 introduced me as her “wonderful Jewish librarian.” All the sisters seemed to welcome me as an embodiment of their ecumenical ideals, and to see me as a key to unlocking their Catholic roots. Early in the school year, when I returned to work after Yom Kippur, Sister Anna Maria want ed to discuss the differences between Judaism’s communal Day of Atonement and Catholicism’s private confessions. During Passover, when I pulled out my matzo in the faculty room, nuns and lay I teachers alike were eager for a taste of the unleavened bread they saw as the mhe prototype of their M rT communion wafers. For me, all this focus on reli gion meant another form of masquerade. In those days, my commitment to my faith was minimal. But the face I wore at Notre Dame radi ated spiritual devotion. And though my knowledge of Judaism felt shaky at best, I boned up for the nuns — espe

cially after Sister Mary Emilie began inviting me to address her Religion classes. Privately, I thought of this annual ordeal as “Ask the Jew.” The ritual began with Sister Emilie presenting me with a pile of folded and torn bits of paper on which the girls had scribbled their anonymous queries. What are those little beanies Jewish men wear? Do Jews celebrate Christmas? Why don't you believe in Jesus? It was my job to dream up plausi

famous for its internal doctrinal debates — two Jews, three opin ions, the old joke goes. W ho was I to pass myself off as Supreme Jewish Authority? O n the other hand, how could I refuse Sister Emilie? I coped with my discom fort by carefully couching my answers in qualifications and dis claimers. I did my homework. I trod carefully, keeping quiet about my personal pro-choice position when I mentioned Jews’ varied views on abortion. When all else failed, I fell back on my own gut opinions, often feeling as if I were making them up on the spot, and trusting that these newly hatched convic tions weren’t wander ing too far from the mark. “Do Jews believe in Hell?” one student inquired. “Hell is mentioned in the tradition,” I told the class. “But Judaism doesn’t emphasize the idea that sin leads to punishment after death. It’s more inter ested in how you behave while you’re alive.” Hands shot up all over the room. “But if Jews aren’t afraid of going to Hell, what makes them

be good?” “In Judaism,” I explained, not entirely sure where I was head ing, “there’s a teaching that the Messiah won’t come until we’ve gotten our act together — until we’ve made the world ready.” Was there really such a teaching? I had no idea. “When you act right,” I blundered on, hoping for the best, “you’re doing your part to make the world better. In a sense, when Jews pray for the Messiah, we’re really reminding ourselves to start acting as if the Messiah were already here.” I didn’t know where I’d picked up this notion. But that didn’t seem to matter. Twentyfive young faces were staring at me, believing what I’d said. Sister Emilie was beaming from the back of the room. As far as this audience was concerned, I’d got ten it right.

etting the answer right was a lot easier when the ques tions had to do with how to use the Reader’s Guide, or how to distinguish primary from sec ondary sources. When I talked about religion, I may have been improvising; but in library sci ence, I was a master. I knew how to alphabetize — forward and backwards — and without having to sing the little song. I was

tuned into the tidy, dolls-withindolls hierarchy of the Dewey Decimal system. In the alien world of Southern California, where the very ground might shift under your feet at any moment, it was comforting to know that Melvil Dewey had safely sequestered within the 300s o f Social Science the 370s of Education, which held the 373s of Secondary Education. That broke down all the way to 373.79494: High Schools in Los Angeles — my own particular place neatly nestled within an ocean of possibilities. Month by month, I was find ing my niche. When I wasn’t shepherding the students through the wilderness of research or rec ommending recreational reading, I was befriending the bad girls who served their in-school sus pensions at my back table. I was hearing the confessions of the girls who worked my circulation desk — the one who wrote love songs, the one who’d moved out on her own and read Camus, the one who lived with her ailing grandmother, the one with the Jewish mother. I shared the breaking news from Manila with the Filipina girls, and admired the Latina girls’ photos of them selves celebrating their quinceaheras — the 13-year-old’s

social debut. Being a school librarian is like being a grandparent. You get all the rewards of working with kids and none of the hassles o f raising — or grading — them. If anyone acts up, you can ship her back to class. And you can offer the teachers all sorts of helpful advice. I proselytized incessantly about giving assignments that reached beyond the textbook — lessons that taught the kids to learn for them selves and helped them become savvy informa tion consumers. And one by one, the teachers came around. Year by year, I was learning that getting it right at this job didn’t mean dis appearing among the brown blaz ers and gray habits. The folks at Notre Dame, it seemed, had hired me to be the person I was. Then, one day, my library was used as a set for “Knot’s Landing.” This wasn’t the first time the school had made it to prime time. Lorimar Productions regularly cast the building’s state ly front facade as a fancy Texas prep school on “Dallas,” and posed its more modest backside as the middle-class school attend ed by the Southern Californians on “Knot’s Landing.” We’d all gawked at actor

tomed to the confusion between fantasy and reality. But seeing cameras take over your very own workspace is an entirely different story. Sitting quietly at my desk, I watched the director scatter a bunch of adolescent extras around my reading tables. It was odd to see boys mixed in with the girls. But odder still was see ing the librarian walk in: a tall, stern woman in a demure dress, hair carefully piled on top of her head, a pair of half-glasses perched on her nose with a thin gold chain dangling down. She fit the archetypal image of

Librarian perfectly — so much more perfectly than I did that I felt a sickening spasm of dis placement. “Shit,” I thought, “the jig’s up. Now the real librari an’s here, and they’ll realize I’m a fake.” ■ But then the cameras started rolling, and the actors started act ing. I watched one “student” whisper something to another “student.” I watched the “librari an” bend down, press a perfectly manicured finger to her pursed lips and issue a decisive “Shh.” And that “Shh” broke the spell. If shushing people was the best this so-called librarian could do, then she wasn’t a very good one. She probably didn’t know the first thing about research or cataloguing, or how to talk to a kid who feels as if her heart has broken. She probably couldn’t even come up with a coherent explanation about the Jewish view of Jesus. She was, in fact, no more a librarian than I was an actress. There would still be times when my self-assurance would slip — when the ground of my certainty would shift back out from under me. But for that one clear moment, I knew absolutely the difference between fiction and non-fiction. I knew where I belonged. I knew the identity of the Lady of the Library. ®

The Regs High school handbooks try to cover all the bases: aca demic requirements, scholarship awards, personal behav ior, discipline, automobile parking permits, dances, weapons, drugs and much more. Here are some of the 21st-century rules in local Vermont high schools: ^ Only four students may sit at a library table. (SB) ^ Students may have clear water bottles with them in the building, since being properly hydrated is conducive to good health. (SB) ^ Those seniors with a B+ average (87 or above) for the year to date, and who are currently maintaining that average, may be eligible for exemption from the final exam. (SB) There shall be no animals present on school grounds or in school buildings that present a potential danger or health hazard to children. Such animals may include rep tiles, ferrets, wolf hybrids or wild animals. Dogs, cats, birds and other domestic animals must be closely moni tored and allowed only under the control of a competent adult. (Exceptions would be made for dogs or other ani mals, professionally trained, to render assistance to indi viduals with disabilities.) (C) No card playing or use of dice is allowed during school. (SB) ^ Students should not wear hats, sunglasses, clothing

with crude, sexually suggestive, substance endorsing, harassing or derogatory m essage :; revealing-immodest clothing. These items are distracting and do not con tribute to the learning environment. (S) A student whose attire impedes upon the learning process and/or is disruptive to the normal operation and functions of the school will be required to change attire. (B) Periodic general inspections of lockers may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time with out notice, without stu dent consent, and with out a search warrant. (C) ^ The interiors of stu dent vehicles may be inspected whenever a school authority has rea sonable suspicion to believe that illegal or unauthorized materials are contained inside. (C) ^ Harassment on the basis of an individual’s disabling mental or physical condition is prohibited... including, but not limited to, demeaning comments or behavior, slurs, mimicking, jokes, gestures, name calling, graffiti, stalking, threatening, bullying, and extorting directed at the characteristics o f an individual’s disabling condition, such as mimicking speech, movement or appearance interfering with equipment, and/or physically annoying

ATVs and other recreational items at home.” Are there too many school rules? Probably not, says John Bossange, who was principal of Essex Junction’s Albert D. Lawton Middle School for 15 years. Bossange, beginning his first year as head of the Shelburne Middle School, says new rules are developed to deal

“The parking lot is to be used only for the parking of vehicles... If a student needs to get an item left in the car, he or she can get a note from an administrator to do so. Otherwise, the parking lot is off limits.” With a nod to rural life, CVU also advises, “Please leave your skateboards, skates, remote control vehicles, snowmobiles,

others. (C) Possession of any dangerous or deadly weapon or fac simile of any dangerous or deadly weapon in any school building on school grounds or property is strictly prohib ited... including... a dirk knife, bowie knife, dagger or other weapon, device, instrument, material or substance, whether animate or inanimate, which in the manner it is used or is intended to be used is known to be capable of producing death or serious bod ily injury, including folding knives with blades longer than two inches, includ ing pocket knives, pen knives and jackknives. (C) ^ Videotaping, filming and photographing of students in a classroom or during an activity constitutes an interruption of the learning process. (B) ^ Students are expected to leave campus at the conclu sion of their academic day. (B)

with new situations. “It’s all about protecting the learning atmosphere in the school,” he notes. “All the rules come down to respect — for yourself, others, for property and for the learning process.” Like the new sneakers with wheels, “the toys just keep on coming,” Bossange notes. Each new technological gadget or

recreational fad has to face the school test: “Is this going to adversely affect the learning com munity or not?” Clearly, beepers and phones buzzing in class or scooters zooming down the hallways would be disruptive or downright dangerous, the principal says. The sneaker rule might have to wait until enough kids show up

with them ready to burn rubber on their way to lunch. Bossange’s experience helping to set and enforce school rules has taught him a key lesson. “Most kids like a safe school with clear boundaries; they want an environment that is respectful, civil and safe; they don’t like it when others mess up their learn ing environment.” 0

ears ago when I was com paring graduate programs — one less expensive and more convenient, the other more costly and more rigorous — a friend clarified my decision for me with a question: “Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?” The steak, of course,' sig nified the higher-quality pro gram. Food has served as an apt metaphor for a number of things, including thought, and may now be used to illuminate a disturbing trend in education. Just as we assimilate into our bodies the food we eat, we also take into ourselves ideas or con tent that comprises our educa tion — our “food for thought.” But there’s one essential dif ference: The digestion of food is automatic, while the process of reading and interpreting requires our close attention. We have to take time to consciously direct the process of digesting a text, selecting what is important to retain and willfully constructing meaning. Author Eric Schlosser sug gests in the title of his book that we are becoming a Fast Food Nation. This mentality seems also to exist in our schools — the growing demand for ham burger over steak. As a metaphor, fast food not only describes the transformation in higher educa tion and the academic appetites of students, but also the corpo rate invasion of academia with its market-oriented promotion of education as merely knowledge for money-making careers. One critic has called this the “corpo rate-university complex.” A recent article by Los Angeles Times columnist John Balzar, entitled “Education Snacks Don’t Make a Meal,” highlights the unhealthy consumption habits and reduced hunger for knowl edge of students. After teaching for two months in a high school, he bemoaned the “15-minute attention spans” and “scattershot entertainment pace of educa• » tion. For Balzar, the students’ behavior reflected the fast-paced and “anxious, impatient, easily distracted” world of their parents and perhaps American culture in general. He saw teachers having

This is the culinary equiv that not graduating would be inconvenient to him and his alent of a banquet: long tables family.

As a p ro f e ^ r of the humani called the departmental dean and threatened to sue, and conse ties today, I find that many stu quently received a D-minus and dents want the educational equivalent of a Happy Meal. This graduated. Colleges foster students as may be especially true for consumers when they cater to the humanities courses, because stu world of business and advertise dents primarily concerned with higher education primarily as a their careers consider such sub convenient, easy way to enhance jects of secondary importance. This notion came to me two years ago while I was teaching Modern World History. A couple of stqdents com plained about the weekly reading load, which was well under a hundred pages.

pushing for course assessments similar to the state-mandated requirements for verifiable, meas ured outcomes in high schools. This demand comes in the name of educational “efficiency,” but it also serves to promote the school’s marketability. In other words, there’s a drive to produce the course-description equivalent of a fast-food menu — narrowed down, standardized and safely adhered to for cus tomer satisfaction. The prevailing market-oriented mentality of some schools seems to imply that they cannot have students stum bling over humanities courses, lowering grade-point averages and delaying their entry into their careers. It’s just not good for business. As one student put it, “The 21st century is about profitability.” Eric Schlosser notes that the experience of fast foods has become routine and mundane, that little thought is given to the content, much less to the “rami fications of their purchase.” All we have to do, he suggests, is break out of the habit of pur chasing them. Challenging the fast-food industry is “daunting,” but in his conclusion to Fast Food Nation, Schlosser is optimistic that, with the “right pres sure,” the industry can be motivated to change. There may not be enough time, however, for humanities programs to survive — departments have already suffered reductions in enrollment, funding, staff and curriculum in the age of the “market-oriented university,” according to Harvard Magazine. Scholars who are unwilling to conform to this consensus will become like Kafka’s “hunger artist” — starving in a world of plenty that craves mass-pro duced, super-sized junk. Is it too late to ask, “Where’s the beef?” ®

Aff a i rs A cautionary tale about professorial persuasions B y N ancy S tearns B ercaw aving sex with a man in a position o f power tends to leave young women in a compromising one. Consider me your expert on the subject — you might say I got an “A” for Fing, a la Nathaniel Hawthornes character Hester Prynne. It was in the midst of an English Literature mid-term dur ing my senior year at the University of South Florida that I earned my scarlet letter. Looking up to gather my thoughts, I caught my professor staring at me. I smiled back pleasantly as if to say, “Oh, hi. This is a tough exam, but I think I understand Hemingway’s moral code.” And then he winked. I won dered if he was wishing me well. But when I turned in my exam, his examination of me intensi fied. He left the class with me and took my arm in the hallway. “I’ve been following your swim ming career,” he said. “I want to see you compete. I’ll be at the meet tonight.” “That’s nice of you,” I responded, slightly flattered and somewhat confused. None of my professors had ever come to a swim meet. Most were irked when I had to miss class in favor of a competition elsewhere. Was he just interested in swimming? It hadn’t E K yet occurred to me that 7 might be the sport.

When my teammates asked about the old man, I called him an uncle, suddenly embarrassed. But I was titillated nonetheless — an accomplished man was interested in me. Surely that made me interesting by proxy. He called me at home the next day, though I hadn’t given him my number. Suddenly? this

fiftysomething man with two books on Hemingway under his belt was inviting me, at the naive and tender age of 19, to watch a basketball game on television at his house. I went over, assuming that other people would be there, too. But it was him next to me on the couch. We watched the game, sort of. He kept moving closer. I felt attracted to him, but proba bly only because he was attracted to me. I hadn’t chosen this situa tion; rather, I was being submit ted to it. At that moment, however, I was more concerned with the outcome. Where was this going? If we slept together, did that mean we’d be a couple? He had recently split up with his wife, or so he said, which I supposed meant he was fair game. How would we act in class, though? When could we go public? Would I go on the lecture circuit as his cherished muse? I wasn’t worried about my grade in his class — more like my performance as his lover, which I quickly became. There was some rather strange kissing — not tender and devoted like my younger boyfriends. He was rough and aggressive. In bed he

a smoky bistro. But when we woke up the next morning, he didn’t seem there. In class later, he didn’t make eye contact. In fact, he ignored me. I didn’t hear from him for another week — until he called me for another “basketball game.” I went, happily, thinking he must have had a change of heart. I subjected myself to another round of “baby, baby, baby,” but this time he sent me packing after. “I have to get some work done,” he said, though it was past midnight. It was then I real ized there would be no dinners. No Paris. No future. No us. I got a “B” in his class, think ing I must have failed in his bed. Fifteen years later, I find myself wanting to preach against this road to emotional hell. Yes, being asked to share your professor’s bed might be flattering at first: You feel like the chosen one. It can even be fun the first time, too — the novelty, the taboo. But an affair with your college professor, or boss, or anyone in a position of “power” over you, often comes with a one-way tick et to despair, guilt, shame, self doubt, sadness, anger and fear. O f course this seduction can .happen to either gen der, but by and large it is an older — and often married — man |\V J k taking advantage of a much younger woman. My English profes sor’s abandonment shattered my self-con fidence. Conversely, I could see that our clandestine encounters left him invigorated. I was stuck with a dirty little secret; he had a colorful past. This is one lesson you don’t have to learn firsthand. Though it’s repeated on college campuses year after year, there are ways of not becoming a character in this age-old story. Let me suggest a few tips: • Group Therapy. I’m not talking about a menage a trois. (One of my friends unhappily witnessed

one of her teachers in a tryst with several students at the same time.) Rather, I’m suggesting not sharing any time alone with your male professors if you’re in any way uncomfortable with them. You Can ask that the door be kept open during student-teacher conferences. You can ask who else will be there if you’re invited to watch a “basketball game.” • The Oleanna Response._Get a copy of David Mamet’s play, Oleanna, and read it. I recom mend inviting a few girlfriends over to discuss the book or rent the video. At the very least, the story — in which a professor is smacked with a lawsuit after a long talk with a female student one evening — will inspire vigorbus conversation about the issue of sexual harassment.' • Listen to Your Inner Oprah. We instinctively know when some thing doesn’t feel right, and how to act in our own best interests. But if ever you’re confused by your feelings, check in with a counselor, a friend, your mother. The important thing is to not fail yourself.

ALL NOWONLY

• Report Card. If your professor is going overboard with compli ments about your physical appearance — or is following or calling you — tell him in no uncertain terms his attentions are not welcome. Then tell someone with authority over him. Your voice will be heard. If you really want to be well versed in this subject, pick up the latest professor-screws-student novel from Philip Roth, The Dying Animal, in which horny academic David Kepech tells us that he’s “very vulnerable to female beauty.” As if he is the victim! Here’s our introduction to his suffering: Everybodys defenseless against something, and that’s it for me. I see it and it blinds me to everything else. They come to my first class, and I know almost immediately which is the girl for me. It might be fiction, but it’s true to life. Powerful men some times abuse their position — Monica Lewinsky and Chandra Levy are only the most famous examples. Don’t add your name to the A-list. (Z)

t kay, who is surprised that the last antiballistic missile test was successful? Anyone? Anyone at all? The test I’m talking about was a lot like the two others that failed miserably last year, with the im portant difference being those two were improperly rigged. After these failures Clinton decided, in a brilliantly spineless move, to let the next President decide whether or not to continue the research. Bush, of course, did want to continue the research. So a few weeks ago, the ] Pentagon had another test somewhere over the Pacific. This time the missile nailed the snot out o f the dummy war head it was aiming for. ^ I don’t know about you, but I’m not surprised this test was successful, and I don’t think anyone else who has had any experience with our public school system should be surprised, either. Here’s why: I jiever, ever got the expected, let alone desired, result in a single experiment I M performed in high school. I did success fully set a lot of stuff on fire. But not once did my post-experiment calculations or measurements come up with anything within 30 standard stinking deviations of what I should have gotten, according to the lab manual. I never even figured out how to “zero” the scale properly and I’m suspicious of those who say they did. The whole purpose of a lab course is to teach you how to lie properly, because our public school system is run as a training ground by and for the American Bar Association. This is why there are so many good lawyers in this country, and why they all make a lot of money despite so much competition. This is also why I am not a lawyer, though I kind of like the idea of being one. I just never learned how to lie properly. I’m not saying I don't lie a lot. I’m just saying I don’t do it very well. Although I did lie well enough to pass the labs, as did everyone who didn’t use all their Pyrex glassware and rubber tubing to make water bongs. Anyone who has ever taken a lab course in chemistry or physics in an American public high school should be familiar with the Scientific Dishonesty Principle. This states that 90 percent of the class will fail to get the desired results in any given experiment — and that includes light ing the Bunsen burner — on the first two to 15 attempts. The number of times students try to actually perform the experiment according to the lab manual before deciding to cheat is directly relat ed to the amount of time left in the class. As the clock nears the time when' they would be allowed to leave early or be faced with having to repeat the experiment the next day after school, each lab group will wait until the teacher has disappeared into the back room — which they

always do at some point — then either rig the experiment, copy the results from the one lab group that got it right, or outright falsify all the measurements. The people who know how to get the best bogus results are the ones who get the highest grades. So I’m suggesting we should not rule out the possibility that the Dishonesty Principle moti vated the scientists in this recent missile test. Granted, these scientists are a lot brighter than

the highest grades. any of us were in high school; most of them went to private academies. And I am sure they lit their Bunsen burner on the first try. But the fact is, they had a lot of pressure on them to produce, or else. And once they did produce, they weren’t just getting off early — they were going on summer vacation. Remember where the test was? T hat’s right — the South Pacific. These guys were just dying to have something good to tell the Pentagon so they could suck down Sea Breezes on a whitesand Tahitian beach and go deep-sea fishing for prize marlin. So I just can’t buy the idea that a single “successful” test means we are anywhere close to a feasible missile defense system, espe cially one that’s going to be worth making the U.S. even more globally unpopular than we already are. I’ve never been good at math. But I’ve done some calculations that, while they should proba bly be double-checked, have got to be within several standard deviations of what is accurate. The missile shield is projected to cost us at least $60 billion. I figure that for less than $10 bil lion, we could contract with the good tent mak ers at Coleman to build two very large and quite reliable tarps to toss over Iraq and North Korea to keep them out of our hair. And if the U.S. could get enough geese together — which we could easily do by invading Canada and seizing theirs for next to nothing — we could build a couple of giant reusable pillows for only $5 bil lion more, with which we could smother both of those nasty little rogue states and be done with them forever. Either way, we would have at least $45 bil lion left over to sink into something we need a lot more. Like a new public school system. (Z)

Wm& and grouse." Other species not protected include “exotic and feral species such as mute swans, graylag geese, muscovy ducks, European starlings, house (English) sparrows, and rock doves (pigeons).” In case you’re not getting the message, the latter group are all nonnative, i.e. foreign, species. Isn’t that a pistol? For years people have been griping that federal protection doesn’t cover ille gal immigrants, and now we find this discrimination extends even unto birds. (Some states may protect exotic species.) The brochure cited above refers to birds near airports, which obviously are major public facilities, and you’re probably thinking the law doesn’t apply to those birdies in your garage. Ha. Federal regulations allow you to “scare or herd” birds. But, unless certain species (e.g., blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles, crows, and magpies) are “committing or about to commit depredation [against] agri cultural crops, livestock, or wildlife,” etc, you can’t kill or trap them without a per

Later in incubation, birds have a stronger bond to the nest, which increas es when the young have hatched. However, some species are more sensitive than others. So please tell your readers to stay the hell away from all nesting birds, especially because they could be arrested if I ever catch them.” You think she’s kidding? You wouldn’t if you saw the look in her eye. Disturbing birds’ nests or messing with birds is, with some exceptions, a federal crime — specifically, a violation o f the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which, according to a U.S. govern ment brochure (www.faa.gov/arp/birdstrike/chapter4.pdf), pro tects “almost all native bird species in the United States, with the exception o f nonmigratory game birds such as pheasants, turkeys

Dear Cecil, Give it to me straight. Is it true that i f you touch/handle baby birds, their parents will abandon them11 was forced to evict two lit tle birdies from my garage. I built a new home for them and hoped mom and pop would fin d them. It appeared that the fam ily had a reunion within about an hour. Is this an old wife’s tale to prevent kids from hassling birds? I will trust only your answer on this and not some kook with a nature show on TV. — Andy, Silver Springs, Nevada

PS:-Please p u t out a new book soon, I ’m jonesing. Sure, as soon as we clear out that warehouse full o f the last one. W hat’s with you guys, you don’t read the newspapers? You think the world ignorance situation is abating? The common belief is that if you handle a wild baby animal, it’ll pick up your scent, which will cause its parents to reject it. Whether or not this is true for mammals, it’s not true for most birds, which have a poor sense o f smell. (One exception is vul tures, but most people don’t have baby vultures nesting in their garages — and if you do, I ain’t hanging at your hacienda.) My assistant Jill reports, “I’ve placed baby birds back in nests and watched their parents come back to feed them. Once I found a baby bird while backpacking and set it on my sleeping bag, and the mother landed on the bag and fed her baby right on my stomach.” That’s Jill for you — one part Annie Oakley and one

Strictly speaking, hardcore bird lovers say, you could be prosecuted for failing to control predation by your pets. “That’s an outrage!” you say. “M y cat [German shepherd, tankful o f piranha] is only doing what comes naturally. You can’t hold me responsible for that.” Tell it to the judge, pal. Cats kill an estimated one billion birds a year in the U.S. (seriously — they’ve done studies), and some say it’s high time we put a stop to it. Offhand I don’t know o f any cat owners being prosecuted, but somebody has to be first. Well, I’m not letting the gummint tell me what do, you’re saying. Fine, but there are practical reasons not to mess with these critters. You’ve heard o f West Nile virus, which can cause fever, head and muscle ache, rash, and in extreme cases death? Know what the primary hosts are? W ild birds, muchacho — so keep your

Weekly Mail continued from page 4a thank you for preserving free thought in this country. — Stephen A. Jarvis Swantori CONSIDER HOSPITAL MISSION There are many troubling issues involved with Fletcher Alfen’s decision to move the psy chiatric unit to the Fanny Allen site in Colchester. One of the issues that has come to light as a result of this controversy are lease restrictions at the Colchester site that dictate what kind of care can be provided. The Fanny Allen site, formerly a Catholic hospital, is leased to Fletcher Allen. The lease prohibits Fletcher Allen from conducting activities at the campus that conflict with the “teachings, traditions and canon or other law of the Roman Catholic Church.” I’m sure a woman seeking emergency contraception to pre vent an unwanted pregnancy would be surprised to find that she couldn’t obtain a prescription for the drug that is commonly referred to as the morning-after pill. This has already occurred at the walk-in clinic run by Fletcher Allen at the Colchester site and if Fletcher Allen gets its way, patients in the psychiatric unit also wouldn’t be allowed, for example, to take oral contracep tives during their stay without being transported to another site. The CEO of Fletcher Allen has dismissed concerns about the lease resta c t f o n s ^ I amgufc there areWtfiy County residents who would strenuously object to limitations on their care imposed by the Roman Catholic Church... I would ask the Board of Directors of Fletcher Allen to carefully consider whether the non-sectarian mission of the hos pital is consistent with the sectari an influences being exerted by the Catholic Church. And I would ask state regulators, as they con sider the Fletcher Allen expansion plan, to consider the many con cerns that have been raised about whether it is in the best interest of patients and the greater •Burlington community to relo cate the psychiatric unit away from the main campus of the hos pital. — Rep. Elaine Alfano East Calais

Inside Track continued from page 5a Of the nations top 10 newspa pers, only the New York Daily News and the Dallas Morning News do not cover domestic partners. As everybody knows, The Burlington Free Press is the only Vermont newspaper not to take an editorial stand on civil unions. Freeps Publisher and President James Carey simply would not allow it. Wed love to hear his explanation why, but as you know, Boss Carey has refused to return our calls for the past seven years. Anybody out there think Publisher Carey supports the Gannett policy shift? Hey, now that mighty Gannett has finally acknowledged the exis tence of committed, loving, healthy, same-sex relationships, might Carey muster sufficient courage to finally weigh in on civil unions and end the most shameful silence in Vermont journalism? Reefer Madness Update — Everyone’s talking about the great photo in Mondays Freeps sup plied by the Burlington Police Department. The picture showed a smiling, pot-bellied police offi cer and the 100 pot plants he ripped out of the fertile soii of Burlington’s beautiful Intervale. But seriously, folks. W hat’s wrong with this picture? Across the border in Canada, the government grows its own marijuana for distribution to sick Canadians. In addition, Canadian farmers freely grow hemp, which shows up in Vermont as clothing apparel and body oil. Just as we are the only country in the industrialized world not to have a national health care pro gram, we are also the only country in the industrialized world with an idiotic, closed-minded drug policy. The times are changin’ — thank God. For example, just this year, Portugal has decriminalized ail drugs. Possession for personal use is no 1r oger a crime. In Ireland, the minister of state has called for decriminaliza tion of cannabis possession. In Britain, the police chief in Brixton, south London, announced last month that cops will no longer bust people for pos sessing small amounts of hashish or marijuana.

For years, the Netherlands has allowed the sale of cannabis through designated coffee shops. Despite its easy availability, more teenagers in Ireland smoke the stuff than in Holland. In Italy, drug use is no longer a criminal offense. Instead, posses sion, importation and sale are sub ject to “administrative sanctions” only. Earlier this year, Luxembourg decriminalized cannabis consump tion, possession and transporta tion for personal use. And Switzerland’s parliament is considering a plan to complete ly legalize the sale and use of mar ijuana grown in the Alps. In an attempt to get around United Nations obligations, the Swiss are devising a system that would only allow Swiss citizens to get high. In Vermont and the rest of the

U.S., however, law enforcement, •*. as well as our overburdened judi cial and corrections systems, con tinue to operate with their heads deeply in the sand. It’s a pathetic blindness that props up the biggest and most profitable black market Americas ever known. Don’t you think it’s time for Vermont and America to begin an adult conversation about a failed drug policy that does a great deal more harm than good?

Dick McCormack and State Sen. Jim Leddy, a former Catholic padre who a lot of people in Chittenden County see as a future governor. Also taking a close look at the race is Burlington’s Prog mayor, Peter Clavelle. That would give the new Progressive Party a nice ticket, with Anthony Pollina mak ing another run at the top spot. On the Republican side, State Sen. John Bloomer Jr., the Rutland Rocket, is thinking about it, too. By the way, Bloomer told Seven Days there’s absolutely no truth to the rumor making the rounds in Rutterdam that he and his family are moving to Berlin. Sen. Bloomer said he thinks the rumor was started by .a couple of Rutland County Democrats eager to run for the state senate.

Fifth Floor Addition —

Statehouse lobbyist R e b e c ca Ram OS is joining the governor’s staff as a policy analyst and staff attorney. She’s filling the spot vacated by John Taylor, who’s going to work for the city council of Seattle, Washington. Last winter, Ms. Ramos worked under the golden dome on behalf of the ACLU, the National Wildlife Federation, Friends of the Earth and the Vermont Natural Resources -Council (VNRC). Her hubbie, Kelly D. H. Lowry, is water pro gram director and general counsel at VNRC. You may recall that last winter Dr. Dean unceremoniously booted VNRC executive director Elizabeth Courtney from his council of environmental advisors. One spin out there is that Ramos’ appointment reflects a desire by Ho-Ho to mend fences with VNRC and the environmen tal activist crowd. Some even read such alleged fence-mending as an indication Ho-Ho will run for a sixth term in 2002. We’re not buying it. Dean’s press secretary, Susan W. Allen, scoffed at such a sugges tion Tuesday, charging that those who voice such a view are “selling Ramos short.” “We didn’t hire her based on who she’s married to,” Ms. Allen told Seven Days. “She’s an extremely bright woman.” Congratulations, Rebecca! ®

—

FRONT-PAGE NEW S Some guys really know how ro pack. T h at is, pack every possible bit o f fun into the summer. Rik Palieri is one o f them . Always a traveling troubadour, the Hinesburg-based folkie has hit nearly about every festival on the circuit this season. He just breezed in from the venerable Philadelphia folk fest — the 40th — where he rubbed shoul ders w ith the likes of Arlo Guthrie, Janis Ian and Richie Havens. Some o f the sum m er gigs have been with Palieri’s bud Utah Phillips, as part of the consortium o f musical friends called Rose TattOO. T he biggest was in Vancouver, which drew 28,000 people. T he m ost surprising incident, though, occurred at the Clearwater Festival, held this year in Asbury Park, N ew Jersey. M any had been expecting the city’s m ost famous native son m ight show up, and indeed he did — Bruce Springsteen appeared just before Palieri was scheduled to perform . T hey chatted for a bit back stage. Particularly enam ored o f the Nebraska project, Palieri talked to him about songw rit ing and told him about his cable show, “T he Songw riter’s N otebook,” back in Burlington. T hen T he Boss grabbed a guitar and harm onica and thrilled the crowd w ith some tunes

— including the appropriate “My City in Ruins” — and a few cheer leading words for his ailing city. T he rheme o f the 26-year-old festival, held for the first tim e in downtown Asbury Park, was “Revive-RestoreRenew.” But th at’s not all; Springsteen then called Palieri and a Tew other musicians out on stage with him for a rousing rendition o f “Blinded By the Light.” “He had the words taped to the mike and we all gathered around to join in,” Palieri says. “He was basi cally saying, ‘W e’re all in this togeth er. He was such an ordinary fellow, very kind.” But that’s still not all: T he follow ing day, whose face should appear, right there next to Springsteens, on the front page o f the Asbury Park Press? Rik Palieri’s. “T h at was beyond my expectations,” he says. “It was one o f the highlights o f the summer, though for me being a folkie, it was not som ething I’d ever thought o f before.” WHAT A DRAG O ne half o f the team has already left. Yolanda departed for N ew York City a couple m onths back, and now Cherie Tartt, her co host on the “Cherie and Yolanda” cable show, is leaving Burlington, too — for Texas, o f all places. But not

SEVEN DAYS

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES... are in store for N ectar’s once again. Just a few m onths ago the beloved Burlington nightspot dropped its “music seven nights a week, never a cover” tagline in favor of live m usic three or fo u r nights a week. W ith flagging audi ences early in the week, the idea was to try mixing things up w ith open mikes, deeja^Tnights or no m usic at all. T he W ednesday night event called “Release,” featuring B-town DJs Dubmagic, Swill, Mirror, Capsule and Sonus, has proved so popular it’s eventually going to shift to Saturday night, says DJ Swill, a.k.a. Shawn W illiam s (late o f Belizbeha). For now the B-town crew will offer up reggae on Sundays, starting next week, ’80s on Tuesdays and “Release” on W ednesdays — the underground house music is also broadcast online at w w w .btow nsound.com . O n M ondays, check out the new music showcase, featuring the area’s new and up-and-com ing bands. This week features So n s of Peter, Hard Plastic and Rock and Roll Sherpa. HIT PARADE If ow m any m usic shows can you nam e that encompass Irving Berlin, The Beatles and The Sugar Hill Gang? T his M onday V erm ont

Public Radio begins airing “T h e N P R 100,” w hich includes those preem i nent artists o f the 20th century and m any more. If you’re a public radio listener, you’re probably familiar with the survey that pared down rhe m ost im portant musical works — in every genre — o f the last century to a list o f 100. T he resulting program includes interviews and discussions about why rhe artists were chosen, how they created their music, and the cultural context in which they did. And, o f course, the m usic itself. Part o f the fun, says V P R ’s Leah Hollenberger, is debating why some m ade the list and others didn’t. T he Peabody Aw ard-w inning series starts at 9 p.m . If you w ant a head start, check out the list at ww w.npr.org. DO GOOD DEPT.

DEL MCCOURY BAND, DEL A N D THE B O Y S (Ceili Records, C D ) — Del M cC oury sounds as if he’s been playing bluegrass m usic all his life, and he just about has. H e was a m em ber o f Bill M onroe’s Bluegrass Boys — the bluegrass equivalent o f playing w ith King O liver’s original Dixieland jazz band — back in the early 1960s for a short period o f time. For years, though, he’s been recording instant classics w ith a num ber o f partners and backup bands, m ost notably w ith his current eponym ously nam ed quin tet, w hich includes his sons. Ronnie on m andolin and Rob on banjo, as well as Jason Carter, one o f the hottest young fiddlers in the business. T h e “bluegrassification” o f Richard T hom pson’s dark classic, “ 1952 V incent Black Lightning,” the num ber that leads off the group’s new release, hints that there’s m uch m ore going on here than tradition al, straight-ahead bluegrass. T he lonesome and bluesy waltz, “Unequal Love” — one o f the two cuts here w ritten by the elder M cC oury h im self— features high harm ony singing tailor-m ade to cut through the coldest heart, or even through car engine noise while driving dow n the highway. O ne o f my other favorites is gospel songw riter Buddy G reen’s “Recovering Pharisee.” T he groove here brings to m ind som ething that John Fogerry m ight have cooked up on the way to or from a Sunday visit to “choich.”

M3 ! august 29, 2001

Everyone in M cC oury’s band is an accomplished perform er on at least two o f the five instrum ents that were established in the late 1930s by M onroe as the basic and necessary com ponents of bluegrass music: banjo, guitar, m andolin, fiddle and bass. Four out of the five also sing. They riff and roll, sing and swing like a ream o f synchronized swimmers throughout rhe recording. T he texture o f sound, punctuated on practically every cut by Del M cC oury’s sweet, high tenor — which makes his voice easy ro pick out o f the mix — and solid guitar work, leaves no doubt you’re in good musical hands when listening to this band. T he Del M cC oury Band makes a rare local appearance this Saturday at H igher G round. If you love bluegrass — or if you think you don’t but are willing to be proven w rong — don’t miss this show. Jim &C Jennie and the Pinetops open. — Robert Resnik REORDER NARCOTIC, A U X (self-released, C D ) — So you think you like “alternative” music, huh? H ow about an alternative that will never, ever show up on M TV? Reorder Narcotic will probably be ignored. T h a t’s a shame, because they represent the kind o f risk-taking that mainstream music really needs. T he band is composed o f Eric Olsen and Jason Cooley, and at times it does just sound like a couple o f guys screwing around w ith some sound equipm ent. O ther m om ents are simply brilliant. A ux kicks off w ith “Johnny Utah vs. O tto Barnes,” m ixing cheesy synthesizer and audio clips from a movie. Imagine Tangerine Dream with Nicolas Cage yelling in rhe background. “M eds” takes a similar approach, as power guitar and organ are supplem ented by bits from w hat sounds like a T V story on the dangers o f some unnam ed product. But th at’s jusr the tip o f the proverbial iceberg. “Veal_Pool” (even the song titles are creative) some how makes m usic out o f static, beeps and sundry electronic tumbleweed. It sounds like the m ating calls o f satellites, and stretches the definition o f what we call “song.” “T he M atinee Idols o f the New Electro Acoustic Im prov Scene” is sim ply one huge guitar chord repeated over and over in a m elodra

matic way that w ould delight Spinal Tap. Mixed in are the sounds o f a radio, struggling to find som ething we can decipher in that vast void of space. “S prm rkt” dem onstrates the musical w onder land that is the superm arket. Just listen to the beep ing, the tape register, the M uzak, the faint voices chatting aw ay... there is indeed a m elody to every day life. D on’t look for a hit single on this C D . But if 1 were forced to choose one, I’d have to go with “Sunday Sunday Sunday.” Sim ple keyboard melodies and a drum m achine are joined by a certain C ure like shim mer. Instead o f Roberr Sm ith, we hear a com puter voice suggesting, “W hy d o n t you go o u t side, play hide and go fuck yourself?” We also go on a trip to go b u y som e Red Bull and hear one side o f a telephone love dram a set to G lenn Miller. T here are no dazzling solos, or even impressive musical skills. But there is an uncanny sense o f how to fit together different sounds and m oods in a surprising and fun way.

Seven Days Personals

not all melons get along

B y P a m e l a P olston lot o f bands don’t even last six years, m uch less host Ltheir own annual outdoor festival. Just think about the organization involved — four or five guest bands, a theater troupe, an open-m ike stage, ven dors, camping, a solar-powered sidestage... and cleaning up after 5000 people. Never m ind fret ting about the weather. Sure, it’s nothing the size of, say, Phish’s massive events, but still. After touring madly around the coun try all year, you’d think a band might just w ant to take a break on Labor Day weekend. But Strangefolk soldiers, on, throwing a big party they call the Garden o f Eden Festival at sum mer’s end every year. “It’s our time to play outdoors in Vermont, which is very special,” says drum m er Luke Smith. This year’s festival is special indeed — as the band’s fans know, it came close to not hap pening. T h a t’s because Strangefolk itself nearly dissolved after lead vocalist Reid Genauer traded the spotlight for graduate school at Cornell last year. “It was very difficult after Reid left,” Smith acknowledges. “We weren’t sure if we were going to keep going; it took us a couple m onths to decide.” But after some soul-searching, the remaining members — Smith, lead guitarist Jon Trafton and bassist Erik Glockler — eventually decided, “We’ve still got some game in us, and just because Reid is gone doesn’t mean we can’t still do it,” Smith puts it. They scoured the N ortheast for a new bandm ate. M ake that plural: Auditions in Burlington, New York and Boston turned up a couple new members — vocal ist and rhythm guitarist Luke M ontgom ery and keyboardist Scott Shdeed. “Losing one out o f four personalities creates a big

gap,” says Smith, so we ve brought in tw o.” Strangefolk wasn’t necessarily looking for a keyboard player, he notes, “But if we found one, why not add som ething so it’s not just ‘Reid’s gone and it’s a substitute.’ It’s a really fresh new band.” Originally from O klahom a City, Shdeed was living in Shreveport, Louisiana, when he heard about the New York City auditions for Strangefolk. “He rolled his H am m ond 10 city blocks” to the studio, marvels Smith, who adds that Shdeed also lugs around a piano, W urlitzer and synth to shows. Brooklynite M ontgom ery — his new bandmates use his m id dle name, Patchen, to avoid Luke confusion — had been playing in the subways for six years. “H e’s a phenom enal guitarist,” says Smith. Trafton agrees: “There’s no ‘lead’ anybody anymore; Patchen can play lead really well, so I’m enjoying playing more rhythm .”

im portant part o f the music. You can’t survive and thrive if you don’t have a tight group o f musi cians that can take the music higher. You really don’t need that ultimate standout front guy.” T he band first tried out its new sound shortly after last year’s Garden o f Eden. “We w anted to see how people swallowed Strangefolk w ithout Reid,” Smith says. T heir debut gig at Waitsfield’s M ad M ountain Tavern was packed. A couple New Year’s shows at Higher G round were, too. Encouraged by the Vermont support, they hit the road. “It w ent really well on the East Coast in February, then we went back to the West Coast in June, with some shorter stints in between,” Smith says. “We finished at the Gathering of the Vibes” in Red Hook, New York on June 30. At their own festival in New Haven this weekend, Strangefolk will play three sets both days. As always, there will be a little help from their friends — New Hampshire faves Percy Hill, T he G ordon Stone Band, Burlington’s up-and-comers Shadraq, and the Bread & Puppet off shoot, Deep M ountain Group, perform ing “dinner theater.” This year’s open mike stage is a new, and experimental, addition. “It’s open to anyone there, for acoustic guitar or spoken word or whatever,” explains Smith. This kind o f sharing is a tradem ark o f the jam -band com munity, and Garden o f Eden is no exception.

on Slayton was not always a watercolorist, as his current exhibit at the T.W. W ood Gallery might suggest. Early in his 60-year career, he worked in the Depression-era WPA Easel Painters Project, when his primary focus was oil painting. Born in 1911, Slayton exhibited at the Fleming M useum in 1939, and his oil, “C ountry Store,” is part o f its perm anent collec tion. It’s a great example o f the Social Realist school — a figurative scene from everyday life with a m uted palette and angular composition. But Slay ton’s final 25 years were devoted to watercolor, and 66 o f these works have been brought together for the exhibition, titled “Color on Fire.” The show is aptly named. Slayton’s cre ative spark seems to have .been a perfect match for the medium. T he direct ness o f watercolor prom pts adjectives such as “unforgiving” or “dem anding” because the medium does not allow room for mistakes. As the artist’s son, Verm ont L ife editor Thom as Slayton notes in the exhibi tion catalog, “There’s no hiding in watercolor. Every stroke of the brush is visible; every color tells.” This apparently was not a problem for the elder Slayton. Even his simplest pieces, such as “Purple M ountains Majesty,” demonstrate a com

plete technical mastery o f the medium. M ost o f Slayton’s pieces were executed “wet on w et,” allowing colors to disperse and blend on the dam pened paper. “Purple M ountains Majesty” has essentially two backgrounds as a result: three purple triangles behind a yellow fore ground and a pale atmospheric wash o f indigo in the distance. “Blue M ood” captures the rolling surface o f a sea. It is entirely about color, and Slayton used broad brush strokes, conjuring the waters in an array o f blues and turquoise-greens. It’s a moody piece, in contrast to nearly every thing else in the show. Perhaps Slayton’s best series o f works are his fresh and airy local landscapes. His brush, unen cumbered by rendering, seems only concerned with the interplay of light, color and movement.

“Interstate from the Cliffs” has a steeply angled ribbon o f road rushing toward the horizon between two mountainsides. Slayton varied the brushwork like a conductor varying the move m ent o f his baton, coaxing crescendos and dim inuendos o f purple, orange and green from the painting. A far-off m ountain range is described w ith just a few strokes. “Stones in Stream” is an intim ate view o f a m ountain stream. Slayton used a dryer brush in much o f this painting, adding sharper brush strokes in the stream bank, the edges o f stones in the stream and ripples o f water. T he latter are

dashes o f white over Prussian blue, and areas of white paper remain bright and untouched, creat ing two distinctly different versions o f white. Slayton’s figurative pieces in this show were executed in several styles. T he earliest piece, “Clow n,” from 1951, has the same watery loose ness and darker palette as “Blue M ood,” but in that case yellow, red and purple are dom inant. It also has mask-like face reminiscent o f Germ an Expressionist watercolorists such as Emile Nolde. An undated piece that I also appears early, “W om an,” is an abstract seated nude, like a Cezanne bather study, with brighter flesh tones layered from yellow ocher, pale red and ^ browns. “M an with C ap,” another undated piece, is stylistically in tune with later works in which Slayton found an energetic brand o f abstraction, creating a rough-hewn visage from darker flesh tones. M any o f the figures in the show, however, and more like caricatures, and these are a bit of an acquired taste. Eyes are too high on the head, ears are overly large and, although they are intended to be satirical, more often than not they just look like bad drawing. Slayton’s landscapes are m uch more sophisticated, timeless and unique. T he Vermont Arts Council gave Slayton a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Award in 1992, and he died in that same year. Born in the first decade o f the 20th century, his lifetime achievement continues to resonate into the first decade o f the 21st. T he impact o f his career as a watercolorist may continue to grow.

Loaded With Copies of the Hits!

I was close to writing Kevin Smith off as a pre tentious, self-impressed one-hit wonder. In the seven years since he made the shoestring classic Clerks, the writer-director-actor has made me laugh only sporadically and never quite as hard. M a ll Rats was a disaster. D ogm a was a talky, pretentious disas ter. And nothing in the trailer for Ja y a n d S ilen t B ob S trike B ack gave me any reason to think it wasn’t going to prove disastrous, too. To my surprise, though, it proved an interm it tently good time. Smith resurrects a couple of m inor characters from previous films — a sexobsessed stoner (Jason Mewes) and his trench-coat ed “hetero life partner” (Smith). The filmmaker has built a cottage industry based on pandering to movie geeks on the Internet and constructing a whole cosmology around the New Jersey characters he’s created, even merchandising dolls and dash ornaments based on them. According to Smith lore, Jay and Silent Bob are slacker dope dealers legendary for standing 24 hours a day in front of the convenience store made famous in Clerks. Somewhere along the way a car toonist friend of theirs evidently published a comic book featuring a superhero duo — Bluntman and Chronic — based on the two of them. As unlikely as that sounds, something even less likely provides the premise for the picture: T he cartoonist has sold the rights to those characters to a hotshot producer and Miramax is about to begin shooting on a movie starring them. At first, the two are outraged because they fig ure they’re owed a piece of the financial action, since they’re the basis for the film’s heroes. But then the cartoonist introduces the hapless pair to the Internet and shows them a movie fan site on which a bunch of geeks have posted messages maligning the real Jay and Silent Bob. Completely oblivious to the existence of the Web, the two are incensed. They can’t believe that adolescents and no-life losers all over the country are allowed to just go online and call them names anonymously. They determine that the only way to stop the practice is for them to hitchhike to Hollywood, and put a stop to the production itself. Naturally, zany adventures ensue en route. It’s Road Movie law. Some adventures are gratuitously lewd and juvenile. Well, most of them, actually. For a man in his thirties, Smith is alarmingly preoccu

pied with poop gags and hom ophobic humor. A handful o f developments are semi-inspired, howev er, including the pair’s encounters with an overly earnest folksinger, a band o f Charlie’s Angels-style diam ond thieves, and the dim witted duo’s kidnap ping of a particularly endearing orangutan. Once they hit Tinseltown, things are decidedly hit or miss. Smith is a fanatic for self-reference and media culture in jokes, but many consist of little more than a walk-on by someone who starred in one o f his earlier films, or perhaps the unexpected appearance o f famous Gen X faces like “Dawson Creek’”s James Van Der Beek and A m e rica n P ie ’s Jason Biggs. The big S tar Wars takeoff is pointless and flat, the kind o f thing only someone w ho’d attend a S tar Trek convention could get excited about. O n the other hand, a few jokes are pretty damn funny. T he best takes place on the set of an imaginary G o o d W ill H u n t in g sequel, where Smith alums Ben Affleck and M att Dam on each mock movie choices the other has made over the last few years. Then, while the cameras roll, they launch into a hysteri cally demented and blood-drenched takeoff on the original while indie auteur-turned-m ainstream helmer-for-hire Gus Van Sant sits nearby counting a thick wad o f bills. T he final pre-credits sequence is a howler, too. W hile I watched Smith’s latest, I was aware that on the other side o f town the Nick was showing the new W oody Allen comedy. It was tem pting to look at the two directors -—- the references to God and organized religion that appear in their films, their passion for little-appreciated music (Allen’s for Dixieland jazz, Smith’s for the artistry of ’80s relics Morris Day and the Time), the frequent allusion to film traditions and iconography that pervades their work — and view-the two as artists at opposite ends o f the same continuum . Allen is running out of steam; Smith’s is only beginning to build. And then Mewes pulled down his pants, mooned a police officer and invited him to investi gate the scene, which effectively snapped me out of my movie-critic reverie and brought me back down to earth. Way down. N Take the M on ey a n d R u n this is not. At. the same time, Smith’s latest is a naughty notch above the typical youth-m arket comedy o f our age. H e’s an acquired taste and, after watching Ja y a n d S ilen t Bob S trike Back, I’m a little bit closer to acquiring. ©

Hopefully, organizers o f Champlain Valley Fair had their eyes wide open when they booked Blink-182 for an upcoming grandstand concert in Essex Junction. T he California punk-pop trio is infamous for scatological lyrics and sexist stage antics — they routinely ask female fans to bare their breasts. Hey, these guys even had a cameo in the raunchy teen movie, A m e rica n Pie. T he cover o f their 1999 album, E n em a o f the State, features a porn star dressed as a nurse in a bondage scenario.

treehouse rules

clove culture

Although Joyce Kilmer was right on when he wrote, “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree,” the peak o f arboreal adoration has gotta be treehouse dwelling. G enerations have admired the leafy lifestyle depicted in the movie Swiss F a m ily " R obinson, during which the shipwrecked clan somehow creates a palace in the branches o f a Tobago island tree — with running water, no less. Today the issue is handicapped accessibility. Architect Bill Allen, ^ ^ ^ ^ o f the Forever Young Treehouse Foundation, leads a tree-for-all construction course designed to accommodate everybody.

There’s an old folk-medicine saying that claims “garlic is as good as 10 m others.” T he thousands o f aficionados who attend the annual Southern Vermont Garlic & Herb Festival would probably agree, although they’re out to enjoy the stinky bulb as food, sport and entertainm ent as well as a healing balm. You can play garlic golf while eating garlic ice cream, safe in the knowledge that no vampire — or anyone else, for that m atter — is likely to suck your blood. Love it or hate it, suggests fest organizer Steven W rathall, “garlic is one of those things people feel very strongly about.” Southern Vermont Garlic and Herb Festival.

■YH-V

^56|3t*^5 urged me to become a professor in religious studies. Through the years, many other critics and helpers have also shared their thoughts on how best to live my life. In the end, I’ve always decided it was wisest to obey no other authority but my muses. W hat’s your position on this issue, Aquarius? Considering the epic surges o f expec tations that are now flowing your way, you might want to follow my example. P.S. Those you love have the greatest power to come between you and your muses. For the foreseeable future, gently excuse yourself from their pressure to be who they want you to be.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It may be difficult to figure out how your problems are necessary, but that’s what I’m asking you to do. What part does your suffering play in holding your world together? H ow do your most intractable dilemmas help you avoid reaching goals you’re afraid to strive for? In what sense do your crazy-making frustrations entertain you or keep you from being bored? D o you ever find yourself sort o f bragging to others about the difficul ties you have to endure? Are they essential to the construction o f your self-image? Please write out your answers and mail them to yourself.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): I thought o f you recently while I was at a concert by “mystic folk” singer Lakshmi Ma in Fairfax, California. Introducing a song she wrote while in Maui, she extolled the inspirational effect o f the lush vegetation. “There’s more green there than the eye is capa ble o f seeing,” she concluded. It so happens, Taurus, that wherever you’re now situated on this planet; even in the desert, you’re about to receive an influx o f the blooming creativity that erupted in Lakshmi in response to Maui’s teeming flora. If you’re a pagan, expect a most rousing encounter with the Green Man.

GEMINI (May 2 1 -June 20): Astrologer C aroline Casey offers an apt m etaphor to illustrate how crucial it is for us to hear and read good sto ries. She notes that if we don’t have enough o f the norm al, healthy kind o f iodine in our bodies, we absorb radioactive iodine, which has entered the food chain through nuclear test explosions conducted in the atm os phere. Similarly, unless we fill our selves up w ith transform ative, soulful stories, we’re m ore susceptible to sop ping up poisonous, degenerative nar ratives. T his is always true, but it’s especially apropos for you now, G em ini. Why? Because you’re erect-

ing new structures in your psyche, and you need the very best building materials. Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, “The world is made o f stories, not atoms.” I’d add, “ You are made of stories, too.”

CANCER

(June 21 -July 22): W hile on the job, professional wine tasters don’t actually drink any o f the wine they sample. They swirl it around in their mouths, then spit it out. Why? They believe that swallow ing diminishes their ability to discern all the subtleties o f the experience. Given the experimental nature o f your imminent future, Cancerian, and given how crucial it is for you to maintain a high level o f discrimina tion, I suggest you apply the wine tasters’ approach to everything you do.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s the hypothetical situation: You’re seeking supernatural help to gain insight into your life’s most maddening mystery. In an old grimoire, or book o f spells, you find a ritual that promises to do just that. A m ong the raw materials it calls for are a beet harvested at the full m oon, m orning dew from a spi der web, a plum flower sucked on by a hum m ingbird, a piece o f bark from an oak tree th at’s at least 100 years old and the tongue o f a black snake. N ow let’s say you balk at that last ingredient. C ouldn’t you substitute som ething that's easier to obtain, like m aybe a honeysuckle stamen or even a salam ander’s tail? I’m here to tell you no, Leo. Follow the magical instructions exactly, or else don’t try the magic in the first place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): From an astrological perspective,,it’s a pretty good tim e to be a cute brat, wear red shoes and push your own

buttons before anyone else can. It also happens to be an absolutely perfect moment to do the following: fanta size that your so-called “dark side” is sweet and creamy; meditate on how the calcium in your bones and the iron in your blood were originally forged at the core o f a red giant star that died billions o f years ago; and consider the possibility that one o f the secrets o f life is to change yourself in the exact way you want the world around you to change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Don’t be overly alarmed just yet, but the spooks under your bed may soon be crawling out looking for more action. Likewise, you should monitor other hot spots where potential mis chief might be brewing. For instance, the skeletons in your closet may be about to rouse themselves and try on your dirty laundry as a prelude to staging a coming-out party. Please consider trying a do-it-yourself exor cism as a preventive measure. The astrological omens suggest that the eruption o f a weird mess is by no means inevitable.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): W anted: Gutsy Scorpio o f any gender to serve as a model for a stat ue o f the Egyptian goddess of justice, Maat. You m ust be willing to sit on a lion, wear ostrich feathers and hold a sword aloft for long hours, Your thighs should’be strong and you should be able to make your eyes look wild with the desire to fom ent balance and mercy everywhere you go. Ideally, you are in a phase o f your personal life when you are sincerely angry about all forms o f injustice, even those that don’t directly affect your own interests. Furious curiosity is also a plus.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The reviews for your current performance are beginning to pour in. Here’s the first crop. “Spellbinding, hot-blooded. We were swept away.” — Journal o f Constructive Melodrama. “A splashy surprise... hugely entertaining.” — Intim ate Spectacle magazine. “A visual treasure house overflowing with gor geous images.” '— Chronicle o f Real Life Fairy Tales. “Refreshingly unpre dictable. Gleefully ridiculous. Scarily enjoyable.” — Personal Evolution Review. “Hilarious! Finger-snapping, laugh-out-loud fun!” — Shattered

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A case can be made for the role o f per fume and cologne in the escalating rate o f failed relationships. Why? Because humans emit pheromones, subtle smells rich with psychosexual signals. Everyone has a signature set o f pheromones that naturally draws certain potential mates and repulses others. But synthetic scents interfere with the pheromones’ job, bringing together couples whose chemistry is at odds. One o f the deeper issues here is that manufactured fragrances may derail us from trusting the intuitions provided by our instincts. I’ll leave you to draw further morals from the story, especially as they apply to your quest for a kind o f intimacy that doesn’t require the use of any artifice at all. @

Dogma Weekly.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): How about some more lessons in making the best o f the Aquarian Age, Capricorn? Last week we dealt with channeling. This time we present forms o f divination you can use to scry embryonic possibili ties lurking on the frontiers o f your world. You are, after all, wading into the most exploratory, experimental phase o f your astrological cycle. 1. Cledonism: Your prophetic sign comes via the first words you hear after getting up in the morning. 2. O rnithom ancy: O btain your om en by reading the flight patterns o f birds. 3. Surrealomancy: Study all o f my h oro scopes and heed the one you like best. 4. Peanutbutterandjellyom ancy: T hrow an open-faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the air. T he cos mic reply is “yes” if the sandwich falls face down, “no” if it’s face up.

Dear Lola, M y girlfriend lives in another state, and we can only see each other occasionally. Last time I visited her, her best friend was also there, and the three of us ended up in bed together. This was my ultimate fantasy, and everything was great until I got home and real ized that I am now more in love with her best friend than with my girl friend. Her best friend has told me she feels the same. I ’ve been reluctant to commit to my girl friend, but I ’m ready to settle down right now with her best friend. Neither of us wants to hurt my girlfriend. How can we break this news to her gently? Swinger in South Burlington Dear Swinger, When you climbed into bed to enact your fanta sy, you obviously didn’t understand the rules of engagement. One: Give your primary partner pri ority. Two: Keep your emotions under wraps. Thinking you’re ready to commit to someone on the basis of a single sexual encounter — and a group encounter at that — is the real fantasy here. Sound* like you’re not ready to have a real relationship with anyone. Love, a / ) M J
