could really comprehend ft But a sexual affair? We could talk about that ’til the cows come home. Everyone when it comes to sexual deviance. Who cares whether we really under* stand it or not? You’d think this was the first time a president misrepresented himself in order to save face.

THANKS T O BREAD A ND PU PPET Seven Days and other papers have noted the demise o f Bread and Puppet Theater’s summer pageant following a death there this summer. I would like to thank Elke and Peter Schumann for the opportunity to experience and be involved in this incredible yearly event. Bread and Puppet is about speak ing your mind in a direct yet metaphorically creative fashion, in regards to political issues one (or many) feel strongly about. It is func tional art for the community by the community. It is freedom of mind and voice. It is not simply entertainment and escape, it is in fact brave reality. It is ancient, affecting, emotionally mov ing and physically beautiful. Bread and Puppet is not about simple-minded partying and violence. Violence always takes; B&P theater only gives — to the individual who lis tens with an open mind, and to the community. The community gives back with applause, donations, partici pation, afterthoughts and conversation about what they saw and heard. I feel very lucky to have been able to wit ness, and especially to be a part of, such a brave and creative event... Despite the tragedy that befell Glover that weekend, I believe I speak for the vast majority o f people who witnessed the Circus, Pageant and side shows, and especially those of us who volunteered; the message o f involve ment, hope and courage was not lost. So I hope Peter and Elke Schumann will take heart, because they reached many o f us. And I want to thank them for their passion for the theater, dance, music and truth. Bread and Puppet is now one o f my passions as well. — Scott Weber Burlington

A RHYME FOR SLIME The following is inspired by Attorney David Kendall’s rebuttal to the Starr report [“Falling Starr,” Seven Days, September 16]: As Slime Goes By You must remember this: A kiss is not a kiss; A lie is not a lie. O n legal skills you must rely, As slime goes by. And when two lawyers meet, They still love to repeat: (On this you can rely) “The Rule of Law does not apply!” As slime goes by. Passion and stogies, Never out of date; Ingrid used Bogie’s, Still they had to wait. Sex isn’t sex, If you don’t fornicate. That no one can deny. It’s still the same old story: The fight for legal glory; A case o f who’s the best to buy? The world will always welcome lawyers, As slime goes by. — S.P. Fay Jr. Charlotte DRUG WARRING INTERESTS The article on the hashish case [“Pot Shot,” August 26], which Peter Freyne has coined “the Billy the Kid case,” has harmed the co-defendants as much as the government and a tainted jury. It’s easy to see how Greg Stevens turned into a “government informant” after he had been through it all. His petite lawyer with his small shoe size and pronounced lisp is no defendant’s lawyer at all. He is a prosecutor at

PERFECT PO N TIFIC A TIO N Please allow this correspondence to serve as great praise for the passionate Peter Kurth, who pontificated perfect ly and profoundly on the president’s placing of his penis and the public’s and the press’ perception of his predicament [“Falling Starr,” September 16]. It gave me an idea for a movie not unlike In and Out. Titled In A Propriate, the finale depicts the entire House of Representatives and the Senate (Sexual Congress) standing and shouting, “I’ve had an inappropriate affair” in a show of support for their shamed president. Thank you, Peter, for your particu lar point of view. — Allan Nicholls Colchester

T H E SILENCE O F FRIENDS Martin Luther King said, “We will not remember the words o f our ene mies but the silence of our friends.” Anyone who has heard opening arguments over a year and a half ago during the opening of the Great Hashish Trial should have screamed mistrial from the time Mark Keller gave his opening statement. I was there. He said to the jury, “The gov ernment went on a fishing trip — they caught some big fish, some sea turtles and some little fish, like my client Greg Stevens! Exc-u-u-se me. I felt like jumping up and screaming mistrial myself. Maybe I should have and saved an ocean o f heartache, betrayal and saved the now-bloodied U.S. Constitution. God bless Martin Luther King for his wise words. — Emma Stoner Starksboro

heart. David Kirby (I noticed he wears a small shoe, too) is a big man in Greg Stevens’ lawyer’s eyes. And let’s not forget that the late, great Tom Anderson’s U.S. Attorney’s position hasn’t been filled. David Kirby is an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Like I suggest, the defense lawyer wants to be U.S. Attorney! But how about Greg “Mr. Cowboy Boots” Stevens? Perhaps the fact that the single act o f violence mentioned during the 10-week trial was again Greg Stevens. Informant Mike Johnson told us that one! Maybe Greg Stevens, believing his attorney, thought he’d get more time for that! No matter what it does not come down to each man for himself! How the hell are wars won? The war on drugs is illegal, immoral and doing more harm than the drugs themselves. Enough already. — Ellen Raymond Starksboro

Curses, Foiled Again Several police detectives investigating a sexual assault in Centreville, Virginia, were passing out fliers with the sus pect’s photograph at a shop ping center in July when the man strolled past them, prompting an immediate arrest. “They saw him walking along a sidewalk,” Fairfax County police spokesperson Gretchen Lacharite said. “I’m sure he was surprised.” A string of armed robberies in Portland, Oregon, ended at No. 19 for two teenagers when one of them, Ethan Thrower, 18, shot himself in the groin while sticking his gun back in his waistband. Even though Thrower had a 4.0 grade-point average in his senior year at Grant High School and his sidekick, Tom Curtis, was stu dent body president, police Detective Sergeant Kelly Krohn said the pair “weren’t sophisticated at all.”

Son of HAL Researchers at the Massacusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab said they have developed comput ers that recognize and respond to changes in users’ emotions. Among the practical applications of such technology,

according to Rosalind Picard, director of the lab’s Affective Computing Group, are cars that react to a driver’s tem perament and VCRs that fastforward automatically when a viewer is bored.

It Happened Scientists announced they have discovered a chemical agent that will extract DNA fragments from the fossilized dung of extinct animals. “This is not Jurassic Park,” said Hendrick N. Poinar, a researcher at the University of Munich. “It’s more like ‘Poop Park.’”

They Take a Licking After implanting 14,560 pairs of hard polypropylene Neuticles artificial testicles in neutered dogs and cats, CTI Corp. announced that it had successfully implanted the first pair of its new and improved soft silicone implants, Neuticles Naturals, in a 16month-old Chinese pug. CTI said the new product is meant to reduce the trauma of neu tering by fooling the animal into thinking nothing has hap pened. O o p s! Rolando Sanchez, a A ' >. i. U W -V'V -S :-Xft

Nokesville, Virginia, she pulled over to make sure the driver was okay. While she was reporting the accident to police on her cellular phone, the driver approached and demanded to know whom she was talking. When she told him, he stabbed her and demanded that she get out of the car so he could drive it. Instead, the wounded woman drove off and stopped at a nearby convenience store, where the clerk called police. After a four-hour search, police arrested Jetarri Demonte Lauderdale, 19.

“fall foliage at affordable prices”

FIRE PROOF: The Off-Center for the D ram atic Arts lost its balance last m onth when the Burlington fire marshal proclaimed the Church Street venue was not up to code. “T he upshot was that it would take too much financially to make it safe,” says actor Paul Schnabel, who has been running the guerrilla theater space above Kens Pizza. T hat means one less place for plays in Burlington, while music and art continue to flourish. T he perform ing arts police also busted Unadilla Theater in Marshfield this summer. Growling Pup was put to sleep for similar code violations. Meanwhile, Burlington playwright Steve Goldberg has taken over the drama deal at the Rhombus Gallery, which is likely to continue at least as long as the film projector is on the fritz.

art shopping. And plenty o f cash exchanged hands two weeks ago on the annual Pine Street culture crawl. T he jury also nam ed three “winners” o f the boxcar show, which showed off some o f the best works o f the weekend. Nina Parris took first place for her digital photograph. Architect John Anderson placed second w ith a work of charcoal, paint and pigment on vellum. A nd Lars Fisk rolled in third w ith a small-scale “tree ball.” T he Peoples Choice Award went to Annemie Curiin for her small painting o f a Bread and Puppet Theater scene — perhaps in response to the recent demise of the annual Domestic Resurrection Circus. “People really responded to the figurative quality o f the painting, as well as the subject matter,” offers organizer Maea Brandt.

NAP TIME: O ne o f his best-selling card simply asks, “If a man speaks in the forest and no woman hears him — is he still wrong?” But there are plenty o f other great “greetings” in the new Dug Nap line, including a cigar card that should be red-hot right about now. Nap used to hand-color his images, which took an enorm ous am ount o f time, and crayons, and drove the prices up. But this summer he took the plunge, got a bank loan, and hired Q ueen City Printers to do the work for him. Now there are 70,000 cards — in 32 styles — circulating all the way to the Mangy Moose in Maine, across the street from L.L. Bean. Assisted by marketing consultant Chico Lager, formerly o f Ben & Jerry’s, N ap is finding a niche. “I just love his art and his sense o f hum or,” says Lager. It’s definitely not Hallmark. IN BRIEF:

Burlington writer Tim Brookes landed an article in the August issue o f U.S. Airways’ Attache magazine. But instead o f waxing poetic about cricket this time, he wrote about the “reading surrogate program” at Crow Books, administered by storyteller and performance artist Peter Burns. Brookes commissioned Burns to read The Collected Essays o f Ralph Waldo Emerson, and paid him a “nominal fee” for the Burnsian C liff N ote summary, which w ent something like “T he days are gods. Everything is divine.” T he arti cle impressed at least 50 readers who contacted Burns for his read ing list . . . After two nights reporting under her real name, Tiffany Bums — no relation to Peter — is Taylor again. Apparently the self-inspired switcheroo didn’t go over well at Channel 22, where Burns anchors an abbreviated 11 o’clock news. W hen she was hired, the powers pressured Burns to pick an alternate m oniker so as not to be confused w ith Tiffany Eddy. W hen Eddy left the sta tion last m onth, Burns reclaimed her real identity. Tiffany Two reports “no com m ent at this time” . . . T he eco-advocacy group Food and Water has a new radical rag. WildMatters aims to be a “thorn in Vermont’s side,” according to editor Michael Colby, w ith a monthly mix o f commentary, poetry and relevant historical pieces. T he first issue comes out fighting, and trashes everything from ski areas and com m unity-supported agriculture to “alternative-lite” weeklies. T he response has been great, says Colby, who hopes the free publication will “burst the pontification bubbles o f Vermont’s officialdom and stimulate the necessary alternatives.” Go get ’em. (7)

VIVE LE QUEBEC: No one in Vermont has done more to promote Franco-American culture than Martha Pellerin. Formerly with the musical group Jeter le Pont, she’s been a tireless advocate of French heritage — most recently through her statewide “Danse des Enfants” project. H er own life, however, took a turn for the worse last m onth when she was diagnosed w ith uterine cancer. T he 37-year-old m other o f two has “good days and bad days,” accord ing to friend and fundraiser Donna Tonneatti. If she is strong enough, Pellerin will attend a concert in her honor on Sunday at the Barre O pera House. T he long lineup o f performers reaches all the way to Quebec City. “She has supported so many people in the musical com munity,” says Tonneatti. “We thought it was tim e to reciprocate.” Proceeds will go directly to Pellerin, who does not have health insurance.

September

23, 1998

By Paula Routly rize piglets and fried dough aren’t the only rea son the world is beating a path to Tunbridge this fall — although its annual country fair has claimed global status, with out apology, since the late 1860s. Demo derbies aside, this rustic community on the First Branch of the White River has more to recommend it than covered bridges, picturesque hill farms and Fred Tuttle, the notso-reluctant movie star whose U.S. Senate candidacy is an endless source of fascination for editors at People, Time and Life. O f course, they could just as easily be clamoring to see the field that hosted a Klu Klux Klan rally. O r the spot where Dennis Hopper and his new bride had their country wed ding reception. In an attempt to put the Fred phenomenon in context, and help all these famous journalists find their way to the nearest phone, we have gone off the beaten track to find the realTunbridge — a town with 10 miles of paved roads and 80 miles of dirt...

1. John Birch H .Q .— Instead of a cheery “Welcome to Tunbridge” sign, look for a two-sided billboard that reads “U.S. out of United Nations” at the ramshackle Corwin home stead on the south side of Tunbridge. The son of ultraright-wing conservative Grant Corwin carries on his father’s legacy, which, while he was alive, included roadside red baiting. Corwin was calling for Clinton’s impeachment in big bold letters long before I’ajfaire Lewinsky. But someone ripped off the sign. His response? Yet another outdoor ad, suggesting emphatically, “Thou shalt not steal.”

2. Ordway Farm — With 22 children, the Ordway family holds the reproductive record in Tunbridge. But the family dog definitely got a raw deal. When a pack of maraud ing Indians passed through town in 1780, the Ordways slit their dog’s throat to keep him from calling attention to the secluded hill farm. Four scalps and 26 prisoners went back to Montreal after the calamitous Royalton Raid, which was led in Revolutionary spirit by a British officer.

3. Tunbridge Fairgrounds — The

girlie shows have been gone for two decades, but plenty of other country fair customs live on at the site of the Tunbridge World’s Fair — most notably the tradition of insobriety,” as it is phrased in the 1937 edi tion of A Guide to the Green Mountain State. Even when it started 131 years ago, the latesummer fete, with its emphasis on agrarian life, put the focus

on good things gone by. The rest of the year the parking lot is an innocuous low-lying hay field, although it did serve briefly as a backdrop for a Classico Spaghetti commercial.

4. Town Offices

— The current seat of power in Tunbridge is where Fred Tuttle sat for eight years not learning about the First Amendment. The municipal building that now houses the library and town offices was once a tworoom schoolhouse — an easy sled downhill from the Tuttle Farm. Higher learning took young Fred to South Royalton, where he spent two more years before bagging the books.

model of non-military service that would work on a national level. Robert O ’Brien — film maker John’s dad — was part of the original crew.

Gettysburg, and “there is no better account of Pickett s Charge” than the letter he sent home afterwards, according to local historian Euclid Farnham.

A nother local optimist, T hankfull P ratt, rests in peace on the other side of Tunbridge M ountain.

5 . Pay Phone — Pay phones are as scarce as public restrooms in downtown Tunbridge. There’s only one, as Vermont Public Radio reporter Steve Zind discovered, when he called in to describe the scene at the Fred Tuttle victory party. It’s on the south side of the old creamery building, formerly the town fire station, which is now a de facto “hunting camp.” It’s a longer walk to get gas — all the way to North Tunbridge — that will cost you $1.05 a gallon.

warrior. She was not only the first woman to drive across America — she did it six times, with her husband and pack of yapping terriers. , -;,r- >

13. Rowell Field — The Klu Klux Klan had its day, er, night, in Tunbridge, but the farmer who rented his field for the rally was never fully forgiv en for it. Ed Rowell got some quick cash from his deal with the devil on the eve of the Depression, but no respect from his neighbors. Attendance was sparse at the cross-burning, and the “hoods” never returned. 14. Murder Site — It’s been 20 years since Wayland Austin was murdered at his farm off Hemlock Road in North Tunbridge. A former director of the Tunbridge World’s Fair, who almost always carried a gun, he was unarmed when a drifter shot him for his pickup truck. “There is no other way to describe it than cold-blooded murder,” historian Farnham says of the high-pro file crime. Despite a passionate hearing in which the Austin family argued against his release, assailant Gerald Doucette was recently granted parole.

6 . General Store — A granite monolith marks the spot where Mormon prophet Joseph Smith was born in neighboring South Royalton. But the rumor is his parents met at the Tunbridge General Store. Although local historians dispute the legend, arguing women did not “work out” in those days, the commercial cen ter of Tunbridge did make an impression on Fred Tuttle. Asked during his campaign to name an American he admired, the wannabe senator offered former store owner George Wood. And you can buy Fred’s movie there, too. 7 . Tuttle Farm — As seen in the movie Man with a Plan — with as many dogs now as cats — the Tuttle farm was once a 30-cow dairy operation owned by Fred’s father Joe. The old man died during post-pro duction on the movie. The barn collapsed soon after. A faded American flag hangs from the corner of the house now inhab ited by Fred’s daughter Debra and her husband Sean. Fred and his wife Dottie live nearby and are frequent visitors. Ditto journalists and, believe it or not, landscape painters.

8. Camp William «James — A group of grads from Harvard and Dartmouth grew this experimental leader ship camp out of the Civilian Conservation Corps — a New Deal scheme that put unem ployed men to work on refor estation and conservation pro jects. The idea, which was strongly supported by both Roosevelts and writer Dorothy Thompson, was to develop a

15. Dennis Hopper Sighting — He’s not the most wholesome movie star, but actor and legendary party animal Dennis Hopper has ties to Tunbridge. Not blue velvet ones, thankfully. His current wife, Torri, is the daughter of Tanya and Frank Duffy, who used to live at the convergence of Monarch Hill and Spring roads. After their New York wedding several years ago, the happy couple came north for a proper party.

9. Baptist Hill Cemetary — Looking for Mr. Wonderful? Sorry. He’s somewhat indisposed, er, decomposed, on the side of East Hill. Laying amongst the Horatios and Emmets of yester year is Wonderful Colby, a guy whose first name flies in the face of floods, raids and compa rable pioneer perils. Legend has it that his grandmother was busy dying while his mother was giving birth — a coinci dence that inspired the laboring woman to marvel at her “won drous” circumstances. The adjective stuck. Another local optimist, Thankfull Pratt, rests in peace on the other side of Tunbridge Mountain.

10. Haskell Homestead —

Look care fully enough in the woods on East Hill and you’ll find the foundation of the old Haskell homestead. Born in Tunbridge and educated at Dartmouth, Franklin Aretas Haskell got as far as Wisconsin before the Civil War broke out. He played a crucial role at the Battle of

In his “biased Tunbridge opin ion,” Farnham asserts, “Haskell was probably as important at Gettysburg as Chamberlain.”

11. Tuttle Campaign Headquarters — A funky old farmhouse that also receives faxes, Landgoes Farm is cam paign central. When he’s not counting sheep, filmmaker John O ’Brien is shepherding his can didate through the political process. Over the weekend, he wheeled Tuttle in the fair parade to roars of approval from the crowd. O ’Brien learned a thing or two about politics from his dad, who died two years ago in Uganda. Robert O ’Brien was the first Democrat from Orange County since the Civil War to win his way to the State Senate. In 1976, he lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary to Stella Hackell.

12. Spaulding Homestead — She wore the pants in the family, and drove the 1914 Model T, too. Tunbridge resident Florence Spaulding was an original road

16. Farnham Farm — Euclid Farnham wrote the book on Tunbridge — a pictorial his tory dedicated to the memory of Wayland Austin, whose job he now holds. Farnham is the “Wizard of Oz” at the Tunbridge World’s Fair, the man behind the curtain whose voice booms instructions across the fairgrounds. His own farm, on the top of W hitney Hill, boasts a barn with a ramp attached that doubles as a cov ered bridge. Equally eye-catch ing is the red round barn up the road, also cameoed in M an with a Plan.

17. Spring Road Cemetary — Fred Tuttle may not have much of a plan, but he does have a gravestone — a simple rock shared with his wife, Dottie. Now that's commitment. Morbid as it seems, this detail says a lot in a town that could have been dreamt up by Thornton Wilder. It’s a guarantee that Fred, now and forever, is in good compa ny. ®

O p e n

t some point during Christmas in my family home, we all sit down together and watch Irving Berlin’s 1942 Holiday Inn. The film stars Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire as unlikely New England innkeepers with the equally unlikely notion to attract lodgers with a nightclub-style floor show pegged to American holidays. Its a quirky little picture, one I enjoy pri marily for the far-fetched pic ture of country life it conjures. Equally important, the film affords the kin and I, anxious to maintain good holiday cheer, an opportunity to agree on something: Only in the movies, eh? That’s what I used to think. Then one recent enchanted evening I visited the North Hero House, an almost 100-

run of dinner performances with daylong workshops at which participants discussed this “embodiment of American energy, drive, talent and cul ture” with people in the biz — to the tune of $1199 per cou ple, or $15 for a single show. Those Broadway insiders included Weissman and his fel low BMI workshoppers Nancy Golladay, David Arthur and Annie Lebeaux. Although I’m not a huge fan of the country inn or the Broadway musical, my evening at North Hero House did strike the same quirky chord that makes Holiday Inn so strangely captivating to me year after year. Apparently I’m not alone. Arthur and Lebeaux were preaching to the converted as they sang the opening lines of Carousel's “A Real Nice Clambake,” with a studied

h u t the p ia n o ’s hot” B r e n i n ai i n i E i P H i i cro w d . year-old inn located in the rela tively untrammeled Lake Champlain Islands north of Burlington. As the sun set on the lake and visitors put to use the Adirondack chairs strewn about, the goings-on inside took guests on a sentimental journey not unlike some sappy movie starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Actually, the show — dubbed “ 100 Years o f Broadway Musicals” — was more like the College of the Great White Way than Holiday Inn. The brainchild of Ed Weissman, a librettist/lyricist affiliated with New York’s BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre workshops, the program combined a five-day

wink and nod to an item on the dinner menu. While the daytime patrons came mostly from local theater groups, the dinner crowd was predomi nantly tourists who grew up on the Broadway hits of Rodgers & Hart & Hammerstein. In the buffet line I spoke with a senior from Minneapolis who’d just seen a “smashing” rendition of Guys and Dolls across the lake in Westport, New York. W hen the show pat ter turned to Chicago, patrons at a table in the corner cheered. The lines “A whoopee spot/where the gin is cold/but the piano’s hot” really spoke to this crowd. This is not to suggest that

RAISING TH EIR VOICES: Diners at the North Hero House give their regards to Broadway

locals lack an appetite for the Broadway show. O n the con trary, dozens of community theater companies throughout the state perpetually stage Sound o f Music, Annie, Guys and Dolls and the like. (It must be a law that these shows, as well as The Importance o f Being Earnest and Our Town, be in production — somewhere — at all times.) Two Gershwin con certs went down in different parts of the state last week, and at the time of this writing, the ever-chipper John Thade wends through the Green Mountains spreading the singular joy that is the Broadway show tune. Evidently we like our Broadway as much as the next state. Rarely, though, does one have a chance to enjoy such confectionery entertainment in a cozy country inn. Renovated in 1997 to the tune of $2 mil lion, say staffers, North Hero House covers all the rural-

retreat bases: a trophy deer on the tavern wall, a game room painted in hunter green, a greenhouse just large enough for a buffet table, a suite named for a former Vermont governor (Thomas P. Salmon, whose capacity for sleep apparently is legendary). But the furnishings and appointments don’t distract from the real grandeur of the place — lake views and a qui eter, less wicker-smothered sur rounding community than greets visitors to, say, towns closer to ski areas. Nearby Shore Acres is similarly charm ing. And while that establish ment lacks a revue of Broadway show tunes, it makes up for it with tennis courts and a larger collection of Adirondack chairs. Scenic views are lovely on Vermont’s islands, and so is a bottle of fine wine, but i f ‘TOO Years of Broadway Musicals” is any indication, nostalgia is the

best complement to a meal. People cheered out loud a sec ond time for the Oklahoma chestnut, “Everything’s Up to Date in Kansas City.” And this was before the coffee. Once that arrived, singing along — and none too shyly — became part of the show, beginning with “It Might as Well Be Spring,” from State Fair, and reaching a crescendo with the Annie anthem, “Tomorrow.” Although one woman was moved to tears by a tune from Marne, I would have granted an audience participation award, hands down, to the woman I caught nodding mouthing the words Fall in Love Again,” Bacharach and Hal David song from Promises, Promises. As if on cue, Arthur and Lebeaux took a bow and closed the show. Now that’s entertainment. ®

CA TCH IN G A IR : P ilo t G eorge D o u g la s r is e s to the o c c a s io n .

Fall takes on new meaning — from 5000 feet B y D a v id H e a l y

ccording to Galileo — not to mention Blood, Sweat & Tears — “W hat goes up, must come down.” But despite this fact, raptors and glider planes always seem to provide an interesting varia tion on the theme. Lacking feathers myself, but armed with a journalist’s determination to find a new perspective on fall foliage, I find myself wending my way down Route 1 00 to Stowe Soaring in Morrisville. As I arrive at the small Morrisville-Stowe State Airport, Ashok Ramachandran and his wife spill out of a small yellow

glider. W ith a camera in one hand and an ear-to-ear grin accenting his face, he exclaims, “Great feeling!” with a rich Indian accent that sounds like he’s just arrived from New Dehli. In fact, Ramachandran has just left his native land and, like the two million other tourists expected to visit the state in the next few weeks, he’s here to see the colors and classic New England villages. The Indian businessman, however, is so impressed with Vermont he vows to retire here. Tactfully, I advise him to visit us again after the leaves, and the mer cury, have fallen.

Waiting for my turn to fly like an eagle, I chance upon John Woelfl, a dedicated leaf peeper from Florida. A retired accountant and former pilot who once spent his summers towing banners over Rehobeth Beach in Delaware, Woelfl comes to Vermont every fall. A few years ago, he took a foliage ride and liked it so much he plunked down $2000 to become a licensed glider pilot. From time immemorial, people have been fascinated with flight. But with techno logical developments in the late 1800s, an increasing number of visionaries — and a few others that were just having visions — jumped from houses, cliffs and other heights before plummet ing to their death. At the time, however, a German engineer named Otto Lilienthal man aged over 2500 successful motorless flights, which provid ed the cheat sheet for the Wright Brothers success near Kitty Hawk in 1912. Not wanting to replicate any of the failures of the last century, I ask my pilot, George Douglas, about the safety of the sleek sailplane we were about to use. “Very safe,” he says dryly, before trying a statistic to quell my anxiety. “The glide ratio is

37 to 1 , meaning that for every foot we lose in altitude we can travel 37 feet forward.” In other words, from 5000 feet we could fly from Stowe to Burlington without a problem. Sitting in the nose of the aerodynamically designed glid er, I look out at a 200-foot

way waiting for our fearless leader to take flight. Once comfortably airborne, we rise steadily in tandem, the sensation of speed almost nonexistent. If it weren’t for Mt. Mansfield rising up dra matically to our west, it might seem that we were stuck inside

Feeling not unlike a waterskier waiting to be pulled from the lake, I cinch down my shoulder and waist harness a little snugger, just in case. Douglas radios for ward that all systems are go and the small craft begins to gendy tug us down the runway. W ithin 50 yards — aided by our huge wingspan and superlight craft, we lift off, going little more than 30 mph, and have to hover over the run

a video game struggling to break free. Then, at an altitude of 3500 feet, Douglas pulls a yellow release cord, and the tow rope and lead plane drop away. Floating freely above the land, the rumble of the prop plane is replaced by a comforting hum of air over our wings, the very thing that keeps us aloft. Douglas spots a maturing cumulus cloud, a sign post for lift, and sets out to catch the C o n tin u e d on next p a g e

rising air. The puffy white clouds are formed as rising warm air cools and is con densed, with the air below feeding the cloud like a grain elevator with the “up” arrow illuminated. Although the gravitation al pull of Earth is strong, glider planes exploit an even greater force: solar power. As the sun heats the air and the land unevenly, air over warm spots — such as a newly plowed field — rises up, seeking equilibrium. Traveling from one “thermal” updraft: to another, gliders have been piloted cross country, reclaiming altitude like an automobile refueling at the gas station. Milking our small pipeline for a few hundred feet of lift, Douglas heads to Mt. Elmore, just a few miles from the airport. The 2608foot Elmore is a favorite place for hawks seeking prey and hikers looking for scenic overviews. Gliders, like the birds, use the prevailing winds bouncing off the rocky ridge for even more lift. Ridge riding, and especially wave riding, as it is known, has propelled experienced pilots to more than 35,000 feet, the cruising altitude of most commercial jets. But Mt. Elmore, with a firetower perched atop its summit and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, is best seen up close. W ithout the aerobic workout that a hiker endures, we feast on a visual punch bowl of yellow and red foliage, as well as a sparkling Lake Elmore in the distance. Perhaps more inter esting than even the leaves is our omniscient view of a complex pattern of white birch branches, which reach out like spindly spider legs trying to draw us into their web. Near the top of the peak, a half-dozen hikers look to rhe heavens as we float by and cast a brief shadow on the mountain side. They wave, and Douglas returns the gesture, tipping our wings back and forth in a salute all our own. Although he flies for a living, he clearly relishes our flight and, except for the growing headache from my job of taking notes while on the fly, so do I. Sensing that I’ve had enough, Douglas banks toward the airport and enters the most critical phase of gliding. “W ithout an engine, there’s no going back,” he acknowledges as we enter our landing pattern. “Your first landing has to be the one.” At the hands of this pro, we touch down smoother than the President under oath. (Z)

B y P e t e r K u r th friend and I were dis cussing “the novel” recently — more exactly, the contemporary American novel — mainly as an excuse to lament the lack of substance and style in anything wed read over the summer. “So much scribbling,” my friend remarked, “and so little to say.” We both blamed post-mod ernists for the demise of the genre — that sorry collection of “epistemological” nincompoops who’ve decreed that nothing can be “known” from the print ed page, or, if it is known, it is “mere knowingness,” not any thing you can actually grasp, absorb or invest with meaning. It’s an irony of our times that you’re never allowed to call a spade a spade. Your criticism itself is taken to have as much or as little meaning as whatever it is you’re discussing, which is to say none, in the end, owing to all the not knowing that keeps the universities in busi ness. Now, three weeks later, I’ve just finished reading two novels — both of them decidedly “old-fashioned” and both writ ten by women — that have given me fresh hope for the form. One is Andrea Barrett’s Voyage o f the Narwhal, the rivet ing account of a 19th-century Arctic expedition and its aftermath, which has been pub lished to rave reviews and is rapidly climbing the charts. The other is Kathryn Kramer’s Sweet Water, which is not getting as much attention but which deserves all the praise I can heap on it. It’s an added

with a meaning that can’t be dismissed. The plot of Sweet Water is complex. Ned and Greta Dene — he a professor and biograph er, she a successful horse trainer — are the owners of Thrush Hollow, a former resort hotel in northern Vermont that was famous in the last century for its water cures. After 20 years together, Greta and Ned are at a marital crossroads, an impasse that remains largely unspoken but which dominates both of their thoughts. Ned clings to the lifeline of his work, “occu pations, so called,” as Kramer observes, that “had occupied him in the sense of a conquer ing force before he even knew what else life might offer; he had cleaved to them as a way of holding everything still.” Greta, meantime, is the keeper of secrets, which she has a hard time distinguishing from

“but this was something they did individually, at the same time, not a mutual occupation. He had never reached some thing in Greta, Ned knew; she had never let him or he had been afraid to go there because — he couldn’t think why; this was where his thinking stalled — although by now they had pretended for so long that the distance they lived with was simply the inevitable separate ness between any two people that they almost believed it.” Almost, but not quite. There are other secrets in Greta’s past, relating to the unexplained appearance of stig mata on her hands when she was a reluctant (and non-believ ing) student at a Catholic boarding school. It was that event and the ruckus it caused in the local diocese that first brought Greta together with Ned, although Ned knows only

comforts and as roadblocks, until Greta, in her grief over Crain’s death, is forced to come clean in ways she had never expected. This would be enough to chew on for most contempo rary novelists, but Kramer has added a parallel plot to the mix. A cache of hidden letters and diaries has been found in the Denes’ cellar, buried there by the hotel’s former owner, Lucinda Dearborn, and con taining the record of Lucinda’s lifelong romance with a great American novelist of the 19th century (referred to only as “O .” in the narrative but m od eled on Henry James). Where Greta has been sleeping with the man of her dreams while married to some one else, Lucinda has been sleeping with one of the Vermont locals while longing for her expatriate novelist. Ned is preoccupied with finding the truth about O. and Lucinda; Greta needs to sort out the truth of her own life and desires. Kramer’s narrative crosses back and forth between the two, not in some jerky, arti ficial juxtaposition of events, but naturally, almost seamlessly, with the narrator’s voice and writer’s style always and consis tently the same. It’s a difficult task Kramer has set herself here, but she pulls it off through some res olute marshalling of authority and confidence that would serve any writer in good stead. The lines of the plot are per haps too closely drawn, the parallels at times too plain. Written in a slow, leisurely and stately tone, the book owes more to the 19th century than it does to our own. But union is Kramer’s narrative theme, and water is her central image — the water that Lucinda manipulates to relieve the sick, the rain that Greta watches and waits for on the porch of her ghost-ridden house. “Fresh water flowed in one direction only,” Kramer writes “— downstream, towards the sea. Its flowing one way was a continual reminder that this was the only way it could flow. It reached the sea and became part of it, but then it was no longer itself. By what secret, circuitous route did it circulate back to its source in the moun tains, divesting itself of its salt on the return trip? Moving from separateness to merging and back to separateness again, a continual change that contin ually remained the same.” Take my advice and skip the latest vengeful roman h clef about sleeping with your dad. Settle down in an armchair and read Sweet Water to remind yourself what a real novel can be like. ®

Another year of living dangerously in a student neighborhood introduced himself, shook my hand, and expressed his plea sure over the fact that we’d be neighbors. A week later around mid night of a Tuesday, my husband and I were awakened by a cele bration taking place at Josh’s house. Brian got dressed and went next door to inform Josh and the boys that they had bro ken the sound barrier between our two domiciles. He knocked on their door but, as the music was louder than a door knock, no one responded. Brian opened the door, crossed the threshold and called out hello. He was then greeted by the revelers, who explained that they wouldn’t be partying on a weeknight if it weren’t for the fact that it was their very good friend’s birthday. They assured Brian that a weeknight party would be very rare in the

long time. Somehow I knew it was one of the boys next door. Having restrained my curiosity for 20 minutes, I went down stairs. Sure enough, there was Josh. He turned to me, put out his hand for a friendly shake, and said, “I don’t think we’ve been introduced. My name is Josh.” I said “We’ve met,” and understood that I was dealing with a master of form for whom content was a secondary concern. Josh took his leave and Brian and I finished din ner. I asked what he and Josh had talked about. Brian described a discourse so incred ible, I made him repeat it four times to be sure I heard him right. The next day I was out in my garden and happened upon Josh, who was just then pulling out of the driveway. “Hey, Josh,” I said, “I want to ask you something.” “Sure,” Josh said genially. “Did I understand Brian right when he said that you told him that if he came into your house while you were par tying and someone didn’t know who he was, they might beat Brian up and then you’d get in trouble with the law?” “Not exactly,” said Josh. “W hat I said was that I work for this guy who owns a lot of property and one of his tenants was making noise and their neighbor came in to tell them to be quiet and he got beat up pretty bad by someone at the party who didn’t know who he was, and then the guy who beat him up got sued for assault.” W hat was more amazing, I wondered, the response to a noise complaint with a veiled threat, or the implication that if the threat was made good, then C o n tin u e d on next page

Brian bore the responsibility for getting his assailant in trouble. “You know, like, Brian real ly shouldn’t come into our house,” said Josh. “You would n’t like it if we came into your house.” “Ah, but you do come into our house, Josh,” I said. “Every time you party, I party right along with you whether I want to or not.” “Then why don’t you come over and have a beer,” Josh sug gested. “No, thanks,” I said. “I told Brian that if we’re making too much noise, you guys should just call us. I gave him our phone number.” “Josh,” I said, “I’m not your mother. I’m not going to be calling you to tell you to turn it down. It’s your responsibility to figure out whether the music’s too loud before you wake me up, not after.” “OK, but we don’t want Brian coming into our house.” “No problem,” I said. “From now on, if you’re mak ing too much noise, we’ll just call the cops.” Josh shook his head, gave his steering wheel an irritated swat, and in other ways com municated his vast displeasure with my proposal. “That’s no way to be neighbors,” he said, “calling the cops. We’re going** to be neighbors all year,” he reminded me. “I mean, come on — we’re just stupid college kids. We don’t know what we’re doing! If you call the cops on us, how will we ever learn any thing?” Oh, good, I thought, this tedious civilization is finally coming to an end. Your honor, my client pleads stupidity. I see, says the judge. Well. Who would n't be driven stupid by a culture that’s been methodically dumbing down for yearsi Case dismissed! “Josh,” I said, “If you don’t learn anything, take it up with UVM. I’m not your teacher. I’m your neighbor. And if, by pursuing your right to happi ness, you infringe on my right to be happy, particularly while I’m sleeping, I’m gonna call on the law to insure my rights. It’s as simple as that.” “Okay,” said Josh, “Call the cops if that’s your thing. But it’s not going to do any good,” he added cagily. “Oh?” I said, “Why not?” “’Cause no one cares about the noise fines,” said Josh. “And why is that?” I asked. “’Cause you don’t have to pay them,” said Josh. “They can’t track you down. Like, I have this friend, he had six noise fines and he never paid them and he didn’t get into trouble. He just graduated.” Oh, Josh, I thought, you couldn’t be a better informant if you were paid. “And the cops,” continued Josh, “They’re...they’re...very screwed up. They’re all on this

power trip. I hate cops.” “No one likes being policed,” I said. “You know what they do?” said Josh. “Like, when there’s a noise complaint? They just go around busting everyone at the party who’s under age. They really get off on it. See, like, I’m 20 years old. And I drink responsibly. I know when I’ve had enough and all that. If you call the cops and I get busted — it’s not fair. I’m old enough to go to war, I’m old enough to vote — and I’m not old enough to drink? Gimme a break.” W hat a trusting soul, I thought. What faith in human ity he must have. Confiding to me that he breaks the law on a regular basis so I won’t call the cops. “Well, Josh,” I said, “I’m sure you are the most responsi ble of drinkers, and I know you’re not out on the road mowing down sober drivers, ’cause I can hear you drinking right outside my window. But here’s a tip: If you don’t want to get busted for drinking under age, then drink quietly.”

Let us, the land lords, be fined a progressive fine, one that becomes progressively whopping with each ticketed noise offense. “We’re college kids and we’re going to party,” Josh said, taking a pedagogical tone, as if this were a universally recog nized truth I’d somehow missed. “See, the thing is, it’s a very difficult situation’cause we live in a family neighborhood and you live in a student neigh borhood,” he added, like some philosophically challenged sage delivering himself of an ineffa ble paradox. “No, Josh,” I said, “I don’t live in your neighborhood. You live in my neighborhood. I was here before you came, and I’ll be here after you’re gone. And maybe it’s not fair to you because you just arrived on the scene, but I’m all out of patience with student life.” “Whatever,” said Josh. “It’s just that, no matter what you do, it’s not going to change.” “Oh?” I said. “How do you know?” “Because.” said Josh. “Students just don’t care.” “And why is that?” I asked. “Oh, that’s a deep conversa tion and I gotta go,” said Josh.

osh’s and my schedules have so far not allowed for the deep conversation required for exploration of this chilling statement. But I feel comfort able hazarding a few guesses as

to why students just don’t care. Why should they? They have just escaped from the restrictions of family life and are in no mood to be told what to do. They have no emotional or financial invest ment in the neighborhoods they live in, and if they don’t get along with the people who live there, it’s no big deal because they’ll soon be moving on and will never see their neighbors again. And last, but probably most central, there are no penalties for not caring. Even if Josh’s perception of the laxity of fine enforcement is not accurate, it is well-known that the amount of the current fine is considered a joke among students. If fines are only a source of hilarity to the students, then I propose that the landlords be fined. This would include me, since I’m a landlord. We won’t think it’s funny. And let us, the landlords, be fined a progres sive fine, one that becomes pro gressively whopping with each ticketed noise offense. By charging us, the landlords, for the damage we incur to the community through indiscrim inate real estate investment, a process will be set into motion that will actuate that method of economics currently lauded throughout the land: Let the market decide who will live in our buildings. In other words, if we, the landlords, are moved by the incentive of dwindling profits to find a way to quiet our buildings, cool. If our tenants prove intractable and we have to transform our trashed youth hostels into pleasant apart ments that would appeal to civ ilized persons, cool. If we want to cut our losses and sell off our property for less than its current inflated value, we are the only ones who will suffer. Certainly this proposal implies a risk that current profits aris ing from real estate investment will deflate, but that’s the risk of investment in a free-market economy. By placing financial respon sibility on the proprietors of dwellings that .produce noise pollution, trashed streets and fire hazards, we would be inter nalizing the externalities; that is, our reduced profits would be a more accurate reflection of the costs we incur to society as a whole. If, in the end, the landlords can argue successfully that they aren’t responsible for their ten ant’s behavior, and their tenants can argue successfully that they aren’t responsible for their behavior either, on account of their inexperience, intractable apathy or just plain stupidity, then it seems as if they should be sheltered in supervised hous ing units just for them. You know, like dormitories? ®

where to go i

SPECIAL DELIVERY A band that describes their music with the single word “stomp” is likely to find fans from the clogging to the moshing sets. Actually that’s not far afield: Vancouver’s The Paperboys are known to deliver a jig that shreds, and with a combined fiddle, accordion, flute, mandolin, banjo, guitar, bass, drums, bodhran, keyboards, shakuhachi and vocals, it’s no wonder. The Paperboys — and girls — arrive first-class at Metronome this Sunday.

NORWEGIANS WOULD You already know the hit-making alt-bluster of Guster (pictured), so let me tell you about their opening act: The Getaway People hail from Stavanger, as in Norway, with a singer named Boots, a bassist named Race and a guitarist named Stone (not to be left out, the guy on keyboards is Honda; the drummer is Leroy). Already on a first-name basis with hordes of fans — thanks to their sin gle, “She Gave Me Love" — the People have gotten away from Stavanger and are coming to a club near you. That’s Higher Ground, this Thursday.

ROCK ’N’ ROLLING Oddly enough, my Book o f Rock Lists does not include a list of Songs About Cars, or Riding/Racing/Dying in Cars. If it did, it would include acts old — The Be3Ch Boys, Jan and Dean, etc. — and contemporary, like Southern Culture O n the Skids and. ..Neil Cleary. Okay, it wouldn’t include Neil Cleary, aka Stupid Club, because author Dave Marsh wouldn’t have heard of him yet. But if he’d tuned in to “Car Talk” on NPR last Saturday, he sure would have. That is, he would have heard Cleary’s “Spark,” from his 1997 Made to Feel CD. Peter Katis (The Philistines Jr./Tarquin Records) urged Cleary to send in the recording for the show’s musical segues, and he did. Et voila! “Car Talk” Assistant Producer Catherine Ray, who is incidentally a UVM grad, returned an encouraging e-mail: “If you’ve got any more car-related music...send it!” Ray is always happy for a change from the usual country offerings, she says. The program also credits their guest musicians on a Web site (www.cartalk.com). Got some road-worthy material? Send it to: Ken Rogers d o Car Talk, Box 3500, Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA 02238.

‘MINI’ STAR? I was trying hard not to mention James Kochalka Superstar, just for once, in this column, but the guy

outwits me every time. The latest installment? Burlington’s own cartoonist/musician/waiter is up for another Ignatz award — a festival prize awarded at the Small Press Expo recognizing pow! bang! wham! achievement in the world of comics. Kochalka’s “Magic Boy Does Laundry” has been nominated in the “Outstanding Minicomic” category. The envelopes will be opened this Saturday at SPX98. If you’re a fan of new comics, check the rest of the line-up at www.indyworld.com/spx.

00 0S AND OZ Change of address report: The Charlie 0 ’S House Band has a new house. And, for that matter, a new name: The Emerald City House Band. The improv jam sessions led by Brandon Klarich (Uproot, D’moja) and Adam Woogmaster (Mr. Dooley, viperHouse) on SRO Wednesday

nights for the last five months are moving down the road, ’cause Woogmaster and his father, Alan Goldman, have built a brand new club on River Street: Emerald City Nightclub. Actually, the place was temporarily Legends, a sports/country bar that apparendy never found its niche, according to Woogmaster. Montpelier’s answer to Higher Ground, Emerald City is a bi level structure, with dance floor downstairs and lounge up, that holds 300, offers pro sound — including the capacity for live multitrack recording and videotaping — and a couple of pool tables. The next two Wednesdays, you can check out the House Band, and on October 1 , the Emerald entrepreneurs invite everyone to a Grand Opening night with viperHouse. Woogmaster plans on hosting local and regional deejays, per forming onstage as well as in the booth. He also expresses a commitment to the 18-plus crowd, to local bands, and to the arts in general. “Yeah it’s a nightclub and a bar,” he says, “but the bottom line is we really want to be about the arts.” Accordingly, some local artists are pitching in with murals. Congrats!

released CD) — One of the things I like about Celtic music is the way it flips from absolute tragedy to mindless fa-la merriment at the drop of a, well, kilt. The Burlington trio Atlantic Crossing eschews the plaid but upholds the musical traditions faithfully in their mix of jiggery-do and solemn balladry. All minor chords and forlorn voices, W ind Against the Tide honors the Old Country while seamlessly tracing the lineage into New England and Canada. Atlantic Crossing is an apt name, as Brian Perkins (mandolin, bouzouki, banjo, vocals), Viveka Fox (fiddle, bodhran) and Rick Klein (guitar, vocals) pluck their way down the slopes of the Scottish highlands, onto and across the sea, offer ing up stout maritime shanties along the way. With extra fiddling from producer Pete Sutherland and Peter Macfarlane, W ind Against the Tide is a showcase for the instrument, particularly on gentle med leys like “Cape Breton Jigs,” comprising “Hills of Glenorchy,” “The River Bend” and “Juniper Jig.” Lead vocalist Perkins bestows an unadorned tenor on these sim ple, sing-songy tunes, and thankfully doesn’t affect a fauxbrogue. My favorite is his sorrowful rendition of poet Robert Burns’ “Slave’s Lament.” While W ind Against the Tide is overwhelmingly a paean to music that has endured centuries — and liner notes reveal the band has done its music-history homework — Atlantic Crossing contribute their own tunes to the gene pool. Indeed, Klein’s stately waltz, “First Light,” is one of the most eloquent here, a quiet aperatif of a song. Overall this is a subdued collec tion — even the dance tunes and the silly children’s ditty, “Three Men Went A-Hunting,” seem slightly restrained. W ind Against the Tide is far more subtle and complex than the bawdy, ale-drenched pub fare commonly presented by “Irish” bands in the New World. As such, it’s a few degrees less “fun,” but repeated listens prove its musical merit. Like a fine wine, Atlantic Crossing’s take on tradition is a taste worth acquiring. The band celebrates their CD release this Friday at the Congregational Church in Burlington. — P.P. GUY SM ILEY, C A N T TURN BACK (Devil Doll, CD) —

£ LU

From their first cut, “Answer Authority,” it’s evident that Winnipeg’s Guy Smiley turns their genre on edge, tearing as they do on two wheels into the intersection of hardcore, punk, speed metal and — dare I say it? — pop. Okay, the last avenue is a narrow one, but the melodicism and aural space given to vocals nod to older traditions in rock histo ry. Before I knew anything about Guy Smiley, I had them pegged for some sort of loopy indie venture, maybe even a singer-songwriter with a happy but lame-ass back-up band. I mean, Guy Smilef. Then when I put on the disc I thought, “So-Cal punk-metal” — mostly because of a cer tain nasal West Coast accent that we’ve heard since The Beach Boys. But Can’t Turn Back proves to elude simple labels, and it’s a good thing, because hard core, like all genres, benefits from a little innovation. One of the best songs here comes mid-way through this baker’s dozen: “Everlast,” which mixes quick and tightly wound verses with a jackhammer chorus and subtler breaks that show off the restrained fory of guitarist Paul Stewart and bassist Jamie Fyles. Not that there’s a whole lot of holding back elsewhere: These twin peaks rise together with the blistering precision of an assault rifle, driven by an exacting taskmaster, Ryan Francis on drums. Vocalist/frontman Derek Kun can shout and rant with the best of ’em, but shows a penchant for actual singing. There’s a compelling urgency to Guy Smiley songs, but they’re not afraid to turn down the heat and simmer teasingly. They’re also not afraid to sing a song about hockey and remind us where they’re from. Catch the Canadian thrash this Sunday at Toast, with Tree and The Misfits. ® — P.P.

B y M arc Awodey

ight years after the dawn of the 20th century the socialist, feminist and ardent pacifist Kathe Kollwitz wrote in her diary, “I am con vinced that there must be an understanding between the artist and the people as there always used to be in the best periods of history.” As an artist of conscience, Kollwitz eschewed Utopian conjecture in her effort to stir our better angels. Instead her dynamic, violent series, “Peasants’ War,” from 1903, forces the viewer to become a witness to injus tice. Her intent was to enjoin audiences to agitate against complacency. “Peasants’ War” sets the stage for “Political Pictures,” a striking new exhibit at the Fleming Museum examining the works of six contemporary artists who also assert that

Ming vase with a rendered photograph of haughty Europeans standing around a caged prisoner. “Peacock Dowager” is a portrait of one of China’s last imperials. Her own haughtiness would have tragic consequences, as Hung Liu skillfully implies in the dissolving background of the piece. New York artist Glenn Lignon, who is black and gay, seems to be an exile in his native land. His 1993 collec tion of etchings, entitled “Narratives,” are 19th-century style frontispiece pages, based upon the narratives of former slaves published by white abo litionists. Such books sensa tionalized real-life stories that were often already noble or tragic enough. Lignon makes himself the object — as

“ Linienstrasse 137, Berlin,” by Shim on Attie is a haunting slide of a police raid in the old Jew ish quarter, projected onto the residence where the events actually occurred. there must be a connection between socio-political strug gle, history and each artist s life and times. Each has a dif ferent point of view, but is concerned with more than esoteric aesthetic issues. Hung Liu immigrated to the U.S. from China in 1984, and her works reflect the evo lutionary tumult on her for mer soil. As repressive tradi tions cope with democratic impulses, Chinas complex relationship with the West is embodied in Hung’s “Souvenir,” a large diptych that juxtaposes lovers from a

in objectified — of such sto ries, in order to comment on the essentially patronizing context of minority identity. A textile piece by Jim Hodges, who ostensibly deals with “the personal and collec tive sense of loss resulting from the impact of the AIDS crisis,” is described in the exhibition catalog as convey ing an “explicitly feminine sensibility.” “W ith the W ind” is a large-scale series of layered veils of translucent silk, with butterflies and flowers, as symbols of transience, embed ded in the layers.

Sue Coe, an English-born artist who now resides in New York City, takes animal rights as her theme in a series called “Dead Meat.” Her drawings of slaughterhouses and other varieties of man’s inhumanity to beast are technically mar velous. They contain echoes of Diego Rivera and other revo lutionary-minded artists, but, as with socialism itself, the cause is probably most com pelling to the converted. German artist Rainer Wittenborn is primarily con cerned with Quebec, namely James Bay. His works seem to be the most detached in the show, as his cause is described in very abstract terms. “Two Catastrophes” simply contrasts the natural coastline with the parameters of the proposed flooding on a large map of the region. Perhaps the most fascinating works in the show are photographs of “The Writing on the Wall” series by Shimon Attie. He projected slide images of European Judaic life during the 1920s and ’30s onto exte rior facades in modern Berlin, Amsterdam, Krakow and other cities — fleeting memo rials that seem to resurrect the ghosts o f a murdered popu lace. “Linienstrasse 137, Berlin” is a haunting slide of a police raid in the old Jewish quarter, projected onto the residence where the events actually occurred. Attie’s rich, sharp Ektacolor photographs capture an ambiguous dimen sionality that blurs the line between past and present. At the same time Attie’s original photo was taken, Kathe Kollwitz was living in the slums o f Berlin. One o f her sons had already been killed in the trenches o f World War I, and one o f her grand sons would die fighting for the Third Reich in World War II. She herself passed away in 1945, one o f the most violent years in human history. In the context o f this exhibit, her life and her work seem to supply the inspiration, and the back drop, for these contemporary political protestations in art. ©

SIMONIZED

The folks behind this adaptation

liked Irving’s novel so much they changed almost everything in it.

S IM O N B IR C H * * ,/2 A Prayerfor Owen Meany, John Irvings 1989 best-seller, is a great brick of a book mingling themes of friendship, violence, loss and faith. Simon Birch, on the other hand, is a streamlined wisp of a tearjerker from a first-time director. If you’re familiar with the novel, I suspect you will have no trouble understanding why its author distanced himself from this film adaptation, even personally requesting that its title and the name of its central character be changed. Most people who buy a ticket won’t have read Irving’s book, of course, and therefore won’t begin to know how much they’re missing. Newcomer Ian Smith stars here as an unusually

small boy growing up in an unusually unloving home in an unusually picturesque village on the coast of Maine. Spunky, gregarious, highly regarded by his classmates, Simon, in fact, seems a perfectly normal 12-year-old, distinguished only by the lack of affection displayed by his parents, his size and an unwavering sense of per sonal destiny. From the beginning of the film, the lad continually informs his best friend that one day he will be revealed to be a hero. The fine young actor Joseph Mazzello plays the friend, and together, the two share a series of experiences over the course of roughly a year. Some of those experiences are odd (Mazzello’s mother, played by Ashley Judd, is killed by a foul ball), others are sitcom-cute (Simon plays the baby Jesus in a Christmas pageant that goes comically awry). But all seem like little more than filler designed to take up narrative space until the time arrives for the picture’s big finish. That’s when we find out whether Simon’s prophecy is accurate or not. In stripping away the novel’s shades and lay ers, populating the film with characters created especially for it, and reducing the original story to the artistic equivalent of a sugary long-dis tance telephone service commercial, the produc ers of Simon Birch may have hoped to fashion a more accessible and palatable version of their source material, but all they manage is one more simpleminded. Sure, audiences are likely to find Smith a charming and highly sympathetic figure. He is, after all, in real life a brave kid battling a rare physical condition and is probably himself a far more complex and compelling individual than the one-dimensional oddity he plays here. The novel’s religious and mystical elements might have made for an unusually profound and provocative experience. However, viewers are unlikely to find much in Simon Birch to restore their faith in mainstream filmmaking.

By Jeanne Keller henever we began to doubt the ability of the Almighty to per form miracles, my dad would ask this question: How can a brown cow eat green grass under a blue sky and give white milk? I thought of this last weekend as I made the rounds of Montreal’s excellent brewpubs. But I gave it this twist: How can three microbreweries take the same ingredients — yeast, malt, hops, grain and water — and come up so many different kinds of beer? The miracle is that I get to find out. There are five brew-pubs in Montreal, and each has its own ambiance to complement the beer. My favorite is L’amere a boire. The name is a classic play on words, so beloved by fran cophones. While it literally translates as “the bitter drink,” it also sounds like the colloqui al phrase “to drink the sea,” used to indicate that something isn’t as difficult as depicted. For example, “It isn’t as though you have to drink the sea.” This is the only brewer of lagers in the city. And what lagers they are. The secret is a Czech yeast that was recovered from Moravia after the Berlin

choose from Oktoberfest, a German lager, and a Belgianstyle wheat beer. Ask for a tast ing, and the barkeep will line up a sample of each. L’amere has great ambiance, and “pub” doesn’t do justice to the lovely decor — exposed brick on one wall, spongepainted plaster the color of sand on the other. With three levels of seating, high ceilings, a beautiful bar, comfortable chairs, soft lighting and live jazz, the place is mellow, cool and smart. L’amere is at 2049 St-Denis and is open 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday, and 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. weekends. Food is limited to sausage on a baguette or a cheese platter — beer’s the thing here. Just two blocks away is the better-known Le Cheval Blanc (“The White Horse”). The brightly lit, diner-style interior is the original decor from the 1940s, with green, faux-marble Formica and lots of stainless steel. This is clearly a favorite haunt of students and young professionals, who quaff their ales and stouts while arguing, say, whether Montrealers should cough up $250 million for a new downtown ballpark, or how to choose between the

Wall was brought down. Visitors found breweries operat ing under 19th-century condi tions, with questionable water and practices that were hardly sanitary. A yeast that survived those conditions had to be a very strong yeast, according to the brewmaster. He brought back a sample, cultured it, and now uses it in all o f L’amfcre’s lagers. Three beers are always on tap at L’amere: the house beer, L’am£re &boire, which is an amber, English-style ale and “Buccaneer Porter” — a thick, rich, dark drink with the palest foam head. My favorite, though, is the Czech lager called Cerna Hora (“black mountain”), which is golden, rich and mild, with a creamy taste — apparently the product o f that miraculous yeast. One or two seasonal beers are also offered. Right now you can

If you must have food, they’ll microwave a sausage on baguette or nachos. This cheery, busy pub is open 3 p.m. until the beer runs out, every day but Sunday. Le Cheval Blanc is at 809 Ontario Est, near the corner o f St-Hubert. My final stop on the pub crawl was La Cervoise. Surprisingly for its location — 4457 Boul St-Laurent, close to the busy corner o f Mont-Royal — La Cervoise feels like a real neighborhood bar — pool table in back, magazine rack next to the bar, television mounted on the wall, a remarkable collec tion o f beer bottles from around the world, and a long

bar running the length of the front window. Three beers are always avail able, plus two seasonals. I tried Main, a hoppy amber ale, and Futee, a blond cream ale, but without the sweetness I usually associate with them. Rounding out the regulars is Dubliner, a dark, creamy stout. The season als of the moment are SteFramboise, a raspberry-flavored ale (I tasted chemicals, not fruit), and Digeridoo, a lemonlime flavored 6.2-percent beer served over ice — easy to drink and easily confused with a wine cooler. The menu is also limited

here, to nachos and “hot dog Parisien.” La Cervoise is open 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. daily. Maybe it was that Digeridoo, but I never made it to the remaining two pubs. Le Sergent Recruteur at 4650 StLaurent actually has a pub menu, along with live music, and serves bitters, stout, extra pale ales and seasonals. Open 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday through Friday, 3 p.m. through 3 a.m. Saturday. The other is Montreal’s newest brew-pub, Brutopia, at 1219 rue Crescent, right in the middle of the hyper-hormone

section of the city. Touting “full-flavoured English ales” as the specialty, Brutopia offers real British pub atmosphere complete with board games, darts and entertainment. It’s open 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Friday, 12:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. weekends. If you’re thinking, “so many beers, so little time,” don’t be discouraged. Rather, pace your self over the fall and winter, and the miracle of summer wheat beers will be here again before you know it. ®

Everything’s D u cky n Vermont, autumn means leaf-peeping, pick-your-own apples, cider and pumpkins. In Quebec, you can add ducks — not just their migration patterns, but their gastronom ic possibilities. Just over the border in Bromont, for the entire month of October, you can join the celebration of the Lac Brome duck ling. Apparently one mil lion of these juicy birds are exported every year, and it’s said they’re lean er and more flavorfiil than their Long Island competitors. At this third annual Festival International du Canard, five chefs from the Aosta Valley in northern Italy team with Quebec chefs at 20 fine restaurants in the region to produce a variety of four- and six-course duck din ners. (Last year the chefs were brought in from New Orleans; the first year, from Gascony in France.) Here’s a sample menu from one of the restaurants: sliced breast of duck marinated in cider vinegar with Abbot pears

and baby wild strawberries; small salad of duck with arti choke hearts and rennet apples; small risotto topped with stewed duck, covered with Alba truffle cream and Parmesan crust; breast of duck with a thyme-flavored honey-

maple glaze and served with shallot preserves. Take a breather with a fine cheese plate, and then close with Chambave wine mousse with melted chocolate chips and Aosta valley pastry. Thirteen inns and hotels participate, and dinner-hotel packages are available. For the dinner only, six courses and

three glasses of wine are $60CAN, four courses and one wine are $40CAN. The packages range from $85CAN to $159CAN per person. Bien sur, the duck festival is about more than food. For the first two weekends of October a festival village in Bromont will host many family activities, including an Italian and European auto show and rally (Oct. 3-4), equestrian shows (Oct. 10-12), culi nary demonstrations, regional crafts and prod ucts, and duck tasting. No slouch event, the Festival International du Canard was awarded the Gold Medal for best event from the Quebec tourism industry. The festival has a superb Web site, too, with everything from photos and biographies of the Italian chefs and their menus to maps of the region and hotlinks for reservations. Find it at www.canard.org. For more info, call the duck hot line at (800) 542-7663. ®

irst of all, I’d like to say that I like the New England Culinary Institute. I think the school, which opened in Montpelier in 1980 and expanded to its Essex campus in 1989 has revolution ized the Vermont culinary scene, upgrading both professionals’ skills and the public’s expecta tions. I’ve worked with NECI on several projects, including a cookbook and a syndicated col umn. And I’ve had some superb meals at NECI restaurants. So it pains me to write that last week, during my “review” visit to NECI Commons, we were served some pretty awful food. It pains me to go into the gory details: undercooked shrimp, salmon that tasted, well, old, sandy spinach, cold espresso. I can only hope that we hit the place on an off night. First, the good stuff: a really spiffy interior — my favorite of all the NECI restaurants — done

and a cream of garlic soup (our least favorite.) It’s a sound idea, a soup-lover’s delight, and a relative bargain at $3.95. It was with the main course that we ran into trouble. My hus band had the special, a “Barcelona Paella” served on toasted angel hair pasta ($12.50). The squid was rubbery, the shrimp flaccid and virtually raw, and the whole thing tasteless; it seemed like someone had forgot ten to add any seasonings, most

‘Commons’ Complaint in painted wood and brick, with an open grill and lots of smart looking waitstaff at the ready. The upstairs space has floor-toceiling windows overlooking Church Street, and an inviting bar. The restaurant, in fact, is one

had a great-looking salad, his wife ordered the “soup sampler,” a menu item I’d never seen before and would recommend to other restaurants. It consisted of generous samplings of three dif ferent soups: a delicious gazpacho, a nice potato and leek soup,

markedly salt. It’s possible that our friend Susan got the salt des tined for my husband’s plate: Her sauteed salmon on a bed of risot to ($12.50) was loaded with it. In fact, the meal tasted like it was cooked in sea water — as in briny and slightly decaying, not

“fish stock,” which is delicate and light. _ The spinach in the dish was sandy and so salty it was virtually inedible. She left most of her dinner on her plate, as did her husband, whose Chicken and Sage Sausage Calzone ($7.50) was presented as a large hunk of undercooked dough oozing with cottage cheese — it was, in fact, a combination of ricotta and mozzarella, but looked unappe tizing and tasted incredibly bland. I, however, lucked out with a truly tasty dish of NECI’s “Uncommon Meatloaf” ($9.95), a generous hunk in a zippy bar becue sauce served with cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted veg etables. It was really delicious, well-priced and satisfying. Which was a good thing, because I had three hungry companions eating off my plate. We finished off the meal with a chef’s tasting of desserts — creme brulee, flour less chocolate torte and a sponge cake of sorts, all good but none too imaginative — and some cold espresso. I should note that our waitress quickly replaced it with hot. One great meal out of four is not what we had been hoping for. But perhaps we could have chosen better; several days later Susan was still wishing she had ordered the Rotisserie Chicken with the mashed potatoes and house slaw ($10.50). The Grilled Rib Eye of Pork ($11.50) also looked promising and, judging from past experience the pizzas (all between $7 and $9 at dinner) may have been a good bet. But I’ll say this for NECI: They are always looking to

improve. I asked the disgruntled Susan to fill out the rating card presented with buf bill, which was $125 for four people, includ ing a 15 percent tip and a $20 bottle of wine. She gave her din ner an “F” and the overall dining experience a “C.” (A former teacher, she’s a tough grader). Upon seeing the card, waitstaff instructor Stacey Lax was appro priately horrified and solicitous; she thanked us several times for our remarks, and offered to pay for our desserts. We declined. (I should point out that, at the time, she did not know I was reviewing the place). I liked the fact that she was not defensive, and seemed more interested in improving the restaurant than in proving us wrong. With instruc tors like her, I predict fewer off nights at NECI Commons. Sometimes, when you’ve had one bad experience at a place you are so soured by it that you resolve never to go again. But I don’t feel that way at NECI restaurants. I once had a very blah meal at the Chef’s Table in Montpelier, only to return and have a truly fabulous dinner on another night. Main Street Grill, also in Montpelier, is quite reli able and has an awe-inspiring Sunday brunch. I haven’t eaten yet at the newly renovated Butler’s at the Inn at Essex, but I’ve had great food at the old one, including some of the best vegetarian meals anywhere. Like all the Institute’s restaurants, NECI Commons is part of an educational curriculum, and you have to cut the student chefs a little slack. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

NECI Commons, 25 Church Street, Burlington (802-862-6324); open Monday through Saturday 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. for lunch, 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. for dinner; “ light fare” served 2-5 p.m. and evenings to 10 p.m. (11 p.m. weekends). Sunday brunch is 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. Handicapped accessible; all major credit cards accepted.

of the most inviting-looking places I’ve been to — lively, hip in an unpretentious way, and conducive to having fun. I’d meet a friend there for dinner or drinks any time. I had already had several wonderful lunches at NECI Commons, which opened in August 1997 to rave reviews. I most clearly remember a yummy portobello mushroom pizza made even yummier with Fontina cheese and a sprinkling of gremolata — a classic garnish of parsley, garlic and lemon zest. So I was real ly looking forward to this dinner. There were four of us at the table: myself, my husband and two friends. The beginnings were promising: my husband ordered an appetizer of grilled portobellos ($2.50) that were tender and delicious. I had the “humitas,” (“um-ee-tas,” a Mexican dish I was unfamilair with), which consisted of toasted corn kernels, flavored with cumin and pepper, served in little wraps of corn husks. One friend

Cecil, g im m e a break. Really, an

More than that, chum. I’d say you blue it. George Carlin may wonder why there’s no blue food, but there’s apparently no lack of blue people. A rundown on the suggestions above: • Tuareg. The skin of these desert herders does turn blue from the dye they use in their clothing. Indeed, a blue tinge is considered healthful and beauteous. However, at the risk of showing insufficient appreciation for cultural diversity, what it really means is they’re overdue for a bath. • K rish n a ’s race. Most likely this is what comes of cheesy color repro duction in those airport handouts. • B lue M oovians. Too many B moovies, bub. • P iets o f Scotland. They are thought to have tattooed themselves. The name Piet derives from the Latin p ic to r, painter. Tattoos today often have a bluish cast; still, there’s no definite evidence that the Piets were blue. • T he A in u . In the anthropological literature their skin is described as brown. However, an 1891 S m ith so n ia n report comments, “It is difficult to speak with confidence, for they do not bathe or wash, and the natural color of the skin is not often seen.” So who knows? Maybe it’s blue. • A frica ns as seen b y th e Scots a n d the Irish. Unable to confirm the use of this term. However, “the blues”? It is to laugh. In fact, Ed, not to lay too heavy £ trip on you, blueswise, but I think you’ve got only one serious option: Cyanide.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Until she broke her foot as a teen, Ariesborn Paula Cole wanted to be a cheerleader like all the most popular girls. But the injury required her to wear a wooden shoe for an entire year, dashing her dreams and sending her in search of other identities. “That’s when I found the piano, when music saved me,” she said. “That’s when I first attempted to write my own songs.” Years later Paula is a Grammy-winning singersongwriter and the Aries Role Model of the Week. Let’s hope her story inspires you to start capitalizing on the bummers that befell you during the last few weeks. (P.S. While you’re at it, emulate Paula’s brazenness. She’s worn sleeveless blouses on two net work TV appearances, courageously showing off her unshaved armpit hair.)

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Intentional vomiting was not uncom mon in ancient Rome. Sensual rich folks used to thrust feathers down their gullets after a feast so as to make room for a whole new round of epi curean delights. And why am I telling you this? I’d like it to serve as a metaphor for the kind of thing you should watch out for. In the coming week, you’ll be susceptible to the sin of seeking too much of a good thing, which would of course wreck the good thing. This is one time when the road of excess leads to the palace of idiocy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In honor of your arrival at the most fer tile phase of your yearly cycle, and to propitiate your boundlessly original ingenuity, I offer you the following observations. “Creativity.. .consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know.” — George Kneller. “To cre ate, you must empty yourself of every artistic thought.” — Gilbert George. “Really creative thinking does not occur with regard to problems about

QUARIUS

which the thinker is lukewarm.” — Mary Henle. “Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.” — George Lois. “[Creativity is] like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” — E. L. Doctorow.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): At no time in the next week will an evil scientist inject you with a weird virus that causes you to hate to go shopping. Nor should you worry one little bit about LSD infesting you through your drinking water, a taran tula biting you while you sleep, or an anti-abortion militant shooting a poi son dart into you as you pass a women’s health facility. It is my duty to inform you, however, that you’re at high risk from television newscasters who secretly love to scare the shit out of you. Don’t let their disguised nihilism influence you to make per sonal decisions based on fear. While you’re at it, avoid everyone who acts as if it’s smart and reasonable to be cynical and negative.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have good weirdness if you go with first impressions, shortcuts and fast tracks. You’ll have skunky weirdness if you meander all over creation, give yourself all the time in the world, or ignore what’s right in front of you. Be fervendy crisp and nonchalant, Leo. Avoid gallivanting, dillydallying, and malingering. Seek out electric yellow, the number five, moving targets, and people who make you laugh. Keep your distance from red tape, the number six, sleepyheads and nostal gia-worshipers. If you can’t make it razor-sharp and laser-bright, don’t make it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even if you’re not a top college quar terback who stands to become an instant millionaire when you sign an NFL deal, I urge you to peruse sports agent Leigh Steinberg’s book, W in n in g W ith Integrity: G e ttin g W h a t You’re W orth W ith o u t S ellin g Your

It could come in handy in the coming weeks, whether you’re negoti ating for a raise in your allowance or more varied sex from your lover. The time is ripe for you to prove how valuable you are, especially to people who’re skilled at hypnotizing you into underestimating yourself. Sample tip from Steinberg: D o n ’t p la y split-th eSoul.

difference. H o ld to the high g ro u n d o f y o u r criteria.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ten thousand years from today, everyone you know will be long dead and for gotten. There’ll be nothing left of the life you love, no evidence that you ever walked this planet. This, at least, is what materialists would have you believe. But suppose the truth about reality is very different? What if in fact every little thing you do subtly alters the course of world history? What if your day-to-day decisions will actually help determine whether and how the human species survives the turning point we’re living through? And finally, what if you w ill be alive in 10,000 years, reincarnated into a fresh body and in full posses sion of the memories of the person you were back in 1998? These are my beliefs, Libra. These are my prophe cies. Which is why I say: Live as if your soul is eternal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The civilization of ancient Egypt had strong Scorpionic elements: great powers of endurance, prolific artistry and a fascination with the mysteries

of the other side of the veil. There’s another quality it embodied which you Scorpios are prone to but which I pray you’ll avoid in the coming months. According to historian Paul Johnson, the Egyptians “never dis carded any idea they had conceived, preferring, whatever the cost in logic or consistency, to attach to it...any additional ideas or explanations as they occurred.” This tendency result ed in a convoluted and constipated cacophony of religious beliefs. If you hope to thrive this autumn, dear Scorpio, I suggest you reject the Egyptians’ approach. Be a master at killing off old ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec. 21): I’ve ghostwritten a per sonal ad for you to use as your own, Sagittarius. It should help you attract the exact kind of co-conspirators the cosmic forces say you’re ready for. Feel free to plagiarize the following and place it in your local newspaper. “Imperfect but succulent braveheart seeks flawed but juicy daredevil for hot, steamy kisses on the beach dur ing hurricanes, long romantic walks on tightropes stretched over yawning abysses, and drunken, candle-lit food fights followed by impulsive decisions to fly to Paris in time for breakfast.”

(Jan. |)-Feb. 18): I’d like to thank e poet Walt Whitman for •‘Writing the first part of your horoscope this week: A fo o t a n d ligh t-h earted, I ta k e to the open road, H ealthy, free, th e w o r ld before me, T he lon g b ro w n p a th before me, lea d in g w h erever I choose. H enceforth I ask n o t go o d -fo rtu n e

—/

m y s e lf a m g o o d fo rtu n e ...

Are you ready to make Whitman’s sentiments your own, Aquarius? If so, I predict that the open road won’t lead you to a garden of delights, but it will lead you to a perfect place to g r o w y o u r o w n garden of delights.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Ronnie Pearson, the older boy who lived two doors down from me in Detroit, told me about the birds and the bees when I was seven years old. Unfortunately, he garbled several essential facts. At my twelfth birthday party, Nancy Raditz began to correct my misapprehensions. She showed me, for instance, that I should not insinuate my teeth into the kissing process. Since then, other wise females have steadily lifted me up out of ignorance and refined my under standing of the erotic arts. I bring this up now, my lustful innocent, because you yourself are about to be blessed with a major update in your psychosexual education.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): This is a perfect time to meditate on the perfect truth that having power over other people is a worthless little bauble (not to men tion a damn karmic liability) com pared to having power over yourself. That probably goes against everything you’ve ever been taught, though, so it might take a while to reprogram your subconscious mind. If you succeed in this heroic task, I predict you will find a delightful new shade of mean ing in Henry Kissinger’s notion that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
