question

My yellow-collared macaw ca lls me “Maw.” — Karen Adam

Toy Seller

YES O N Q U E S T IO N O N E Imagine a city where the govern­ m ent is so complicated that few understand how it functions. Imagine a government that seems to have been designed to entrench bureaucracy. Imagine a city where, w hen you have a problem w ith a departm ent, your only recourse is to commissioners (133 in all), who, though they’re dili­ gent and com m itted, are not direedy accountable to the voters. W h at you’re imagining is city government in Burlington. Too many times we’ve seen the buck get passed by departments, while citizens w onder where it will stop. Too many o f our successes as a com m unity come in spite o f a cumbersome gov­ ernmental structure. , We can do better. By supporting Question O ne on the November bal­ lot, Burlington voters can ensure that their mayor appoints departm ent heads, beginning in 2002. This is not about me personally. It’s about mak­ ing sure that key appointm ents direct­

ly impacting the quality o f city servic­ es are made by someone who is direct­ ly accountable and responsive to citi­ zens. Question O ne does not strip com­ missions o f their responsibilities. Commissioners would continue to develop policy, evaluate programs, and even participate in the hiring o f departm ent heads. N or does increas­ ing departmental accountability in this way preclude steps to further enhance neighborhood-based deci­ sion-making. W hat voter approval o f Question O ne will do is to make sure the buck stops with the mayor you elect, not in a maze o f bureaucracy. — Peter Clavelle Peter Clavelle is the mayor o f Burlington. DW YER IG N O R ES SLAVERY Ruth Dwyer, G O P gubernatorial candidate, sympathizes with the ante bellum South in its defense o f what she calls its agrarian society versus the N orth’s urban, industrial culture. She

forgets or deliberately ignores that the pre-Civil W ar agricultural South was built on African-American slavery. Black Africans and Americans were kidnapped, enslaved, exploited and abused systematically and in perpetu­ ity for profit by Dixie which rational­ ized those barbaric practices with a smothering racism. To this day it poi­ sons our society with the ubiquitous notion that black people are inferior to whites and therefore must serve them with then no pay and now infe­ rior wages. Dwyer’s peculiar understanding of agrarian values lead her also to anti­ choice and anti-women positions. Likening women to cows, she states that farmers would not kill pregnant heifers as those animals bear profitable young. Therefore, she reasons the state, like farmers who breed animals, should control the production of healthy children, taking that control away from mothers and giving it to the state she says she distrusts. Is this woman, who would take

the government out o f areas where it does good, like health care and envi­ ronmental regulation, and stick it in areas where it does great harm like women’s bodies, suitable to be Governor o f the State o f Vermont, the state which as an independent Republic became the first republic to abolish slavery in its Constitution, the state which gave more m en propor­ tionately in the Civil W ar to abolish slavery than any other, the state in which almost every town and rural area has a m onum ent to that great cause, and the state which became one o f the first to guarantee women repro­ ductive freedom? — Sandy B a ird Burlington c o n tin u e d on p a g e 3 4 a CORRECTION: In our art review last week of the Firehouse Gallery show, “8>/2" x 11",” we misspelled the names of two artists.

Who’s on Top? Claim lumping When the National Hockey League announced the name of its new expansion team would be the Minnesota Wild, the Canadian Wildlife Federation informed the league that “Wild” is also the name of the Ottawabased charity’s children’s maga­ zine. Fearing the loss of promo­ tional rights to the “Wild” name would curtail souvenir sales in Canada, the NHL and the Minnesota club filed a challenge to the federation’s right to the trademark in Federal Court. Declaring the legal action was an attempt to bully the federation, spokesperson Rita Mezzanotte said, “We don’t have a lot of resources, but we don’t just want to roll over and die.” • A Moscow company called Intellekt took advantage of postSoviet marketing mayhem by fil­

The claim is lawful, report­ ed the International Herald Tribune, which noted Intellekt has also secured patents for nails and railway tracks.

’m trying to decide what to wear to Ruth Dwyers inaugural ball. Something in leather, fer sher. I realize Ruth’s still a bit back in the polls, but the way the pundits are carrying on we have only one more week before she cir­ cles the State House and orders a spot check of the men’s rooms. Frankly I look forward to living under a hateful, anti­ gay regime — I like my ene­ mies out in the open, where most of them aren’t. Ruth swears this election isn’t about civil unions or homosexuality, but I live in Colchester and I know she’s lying. That’s a strong word, isn’t it? Lying. Would it be better if I said there was “a difference of opinion” on the ques­ tion of GLBTQA rights? An agreement to disagree?A lot of — you know — diversity on this issue? Euphemism is so much more civil than telling the truth. (And they wonder why the Left is dead...) Speaking of civil, wasn’t that cute what Ruth said about the Civil War? She thinks it was a war of aggres­ rS sion against the peace­ ful, agrarian South and its “traditions.” Ruth is the candidate who drives through stop signs she doesn’t like. “It shouldn’t be there,” she says, and zooms right along. T hat’s why she is going to win this elec­ tion. Ruth is in tune with the “Fuck you” spirit of the times. Fuck you is another term for prosperity, or doing whatever the hell you want. Besides, if Ruth told the truth, she’d have to confess: a) that she’s a woman and ought to be ashamed of her­ self; b) that she’s from Long Island; and c) that she’s dumb as a box of rocks. That would be an asset, however, in this election — the dumber the better. Poor Howard Dean! I don’t think he saw what was sliding up his ass until a bit late in the afternoon. Forgive the imagery, but that’s what civil unions are all about, right? “Corn-holing,” as we used to call it down on the farm in Thetford. (Boy stuff. Don’t tell Ruth. But do tell

her to keep her eye on the sheep.) An anti-civil union ad in the local paper put the prob­ lem exquisitely a while back: “The brain telling the diges­ tive system to assume the functions of the reproductive system is as ludicrous as the brain directing one organ to perform as another. Indeed, can you cite even one exam­ ple o f any complete organ substitution by the brain?” Well, they’ve got me there. I can think of lots of brain substitutions, but not the other way around. As I said, the dumber the better. This is the season of the Dope.

with the “Fuck

the times. Fuck

AlMiUI And that Pollina! W hat’s a man of integrity doing in this election? Rascals rule across the board. Bush lies his head off about his record as gover­ nor of Texas, and the talking heads just giggle and coo. Having failed to get Clinton, they’re going to get Gore. And to prove they aren’t “lib­ eral,” they’re going to give Dubya a free ride. Just like they did for Reagan, whom polls indicate everyone would like to see back. Why don’t they just wind him up like they did last time? Frankly, I’m getting tired of people telling me that a vote for “X” is really a vote for “Y.” The Democrats are at this big-time now, having shown no interest in distin­ guishing themselves from

Republicans until the last minute. Listen to Gore in Oregon, one of the “key swing states” of which ours, North Sodom, is not: “I believe that the purpose of life is to glorify God, and we cannot fulfill that purpose if we are heaping contempt upon God’s creation.” Gore was talking about the envi­ ronment, but I don’t think most voters will know the dif­ ference — not this year, what with everyone wanting to be a millionaire and corn-holing up and down the block. “Pious Joe” Lieberman adds: “Vice President Gore and I share this belief in a higher purpose. We share a commitment to using our office and our influence to support and encourage this new f burst of moral and cul­ tural renewal.” Then, with a straight face, to the assembled “enter­ tainment” moguls: “A1 and I have tremendous regard for this industry. It’s true from time to time we will have been, will be, critics, or noodges, but I promise you this: We will never, never put the govern­ ment in the position of telling you by law, through law, what to make.” But Al’s on-your side, yessiree. At least ■ he was the other day in ' Michigan: “ You have the power. You have the opportunity, because on that one day every four years, the special inter­ ests tremble at the • thought that you will penetrate the smoke screen, that you’ll see through the efforts to fool you, that you’ll ignore... the cleverly designed TV com­ mercials.” I’m supposed to vote for this? And if I vote for some­ thing I believe in, I’m voting for Bush? Nader says it isn’t his fault if Gore loses to a dumbbell puppet of the cor­ porate right: “If Gore cannot beat the bumbling Texas gov­ ernor with that kind of a record, what good is he? Good heavens.” I doubt we’ll ever elect a president who says, “Good heavens,” but you never know. We’re about to elect one who says, “Were in for a long marathon” — and believe me, sisters, we are. ®

Forgotten B ut N o t G one God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. So said the playwright J.M. Barrie. But remembering daily details in October appears to be more challenging. A Middlebury man drove to the convenience store to buy cigarettes and then walked back home, leaving his car idling in the parking lot for more than an hour. He was reunited with his vehicle after a clerk called the police, and they backtracked the car to him. But the real marvel is that the car was still sitting there, humming along, utterly unmolested. The owner says he just forgot about it. — Addison Independent, October 2 6 T h e W im p Factor Kids have been calling the Vermont Standard, the weekly paper serving the Woodstock area, thinking they are participating in a Cartoon Network poll to decide who is more chicken-heart­ ed, Scooby-Doo or Courage the Cowardly Dog.

O Freedom! Gov. Howard Dean stopped off at the Readsboro School recently and released a butterfly. The moment was captured on film, with Dean in almost exactly the same pose as that New Yorker cover guy, except he doesn’t have the tall hat and he’s wearing another one of his astonishing neck­ ties, this one with blotches and stripes and people dancing along the bottom. Tie-watching has become something of a spectator sport during the Dean administration. Dean also fielded questions from the students about what it’s like to be the gov­ ernor, and one, perhaps aware of the bumpiness of the current campaign, asked, “Are people throwing bombs at you to stop you from being governor?” The short answer was no; the governor tried to reassure the ranks by describing the Vermont politi­ cal climate as “still relatively friendly.” — Deerfield Valley News, October 12 D o u b tfu l Provenance Bennington hunter Shane Greene went out bow hunting and came back with a 150-pound wild boar. This is news mostly because there are not sup­ posed to be any wild boar in Vermont, although Green Mountain Game Warden Travis Buttle spec­ ulated that the beast may have escaped from a game farm in New York or northern Vermont. Buttle said this was the first boar his department had seen in southern Vermont, dead or alive. Fish and Wildlife biologist Scott Darling said he doubted the creature could have hoofed it from northern Vermont all the way to Shaftsbury without being spotted. So it’s a mystery. To add to the muddle, it appears that in Vermont a licensed hunter can shoot a boar at any time of the year without restriction, even though there aren’t any. — St. Albans Messenger, October 19 W elcom e W agon The Western Rite Catholic Church is planning to build a monastery in Craftsbury, and recently

offered the town $168,000 to finance the startup of a local police station. The money was intended to fund the salaries of a uniformed officer, a detective, a cruiser and equipment. The offer, while generous, caught the town by surprise; there does not appear to be consensus that Craftsbury even needs its own police department, and some people are edgy about allowing newcomers to “horn in” on municipal decisions. Others are concerned by the church’s suggestion that the detective’s office should be at the monastery itself. Miffed by the cool reception, the church has withdrawn its offer; afterwards, Archbishop Bruce J. Simpson wondered aloud, “W hat is there to horn in on? Is there a gold reserve or an oil well that I don’t know about?” He went on to say that he will be glad to maintain the separation of church and state from now on by taking full advantage of the tax-exempt status of the church and all its proper­ ties. — Barton Chronicle, October 18 You Can Sort o f Tell Dennis Lane of East Warren is running for pres­ ident; in the past, he has run for governor and sec­ retary of state, and he offers voters the unusual cre­ dential of having once sold a lava lamp to The Grateful Dead. As a founder of the Grassroots Party, his platform is heavily keyed to the legaliza­ tion of hemp. He also says he’s running “so I can vote for someone 1 trust with real solutions to problems.” — Valley Reporter, October 26 Liam aland The llamas were out in force at Sugarbush not long ago, attending, with their owners, a confer­ ence of the Greater Llama and Alpaca Association. Llama experts concede that the creatures do spit, just like other camelids, but mostly at each other. But they are otherwise good-natured and intelli­ gent, according to event organizer Bob Wadds, and can be taught “to walk around in a person’s home without causing too much damage.” The confer­ ence agenda included field trials for the animals and training and veterinary seminars for the humans, along with time set aside for llama hug­ ging “for those who wish.” Raincoats recommend­ ed. — The Valley Reporter, October 19 M ister in C aptivity W ithout warning or preamble, columnist Josephine Blanchard writes: “Last night Mister was upstairs and wouldn’t come down so I let him stay there. The first time he came down to find me, I got up and was going to shut the door but he beat me to it. He did the same thing again. When I got up for the day he was down again and this time I got the door shut before he could go up again. Right now he’s asleep on my bed and has been for a long time. He won’t be going upstairs again for a long time.” • •. Some things are better left unexplained, but this is not one of them — either Mister is a cat, or he really needs counseling, or both. Can this domestic partnership be saved? — Mountain Times, October 19

nimal magnetism accounts for part of the appeal — by nature, kids tend to be fauna fans. But Chris and Martin Kratt are the real reason for the wild success of “Kratt’s Creatures” and “Zoboomafoo” — their “creature adventuring” shows for kids on public televi­ sion. The backpacking brothers, who appear together in every episode, are “at the moment more popular than Springsteen, or Sinatra, or ‘The Sopranos’ or any other New Jersey-bred icon,” The New York Times wrote in an August story. “If, that is, you happen to be five years old.” In truth, even babies are transfixed by the newer, toddlerfocused “Zoboomafoo,” which is on weekday mornings between “Barney” and “Teletubbies.” And anecdotal evidence suggests young mothers are partial to the cute, khaki-clad hosts. W ith a combination of smart humor, great footage and animal imita­ tion, the Kratts literally get into their subject matter — they swim with sea lions, fly with rap­ tors and share a mud bath with baby elephants. Higher-ranking journalists have described their show as “Wild Kingdom” meets Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Last Friday the theme was speed — specifically, the fastest and slowest animals on the plan­ et. Operating out of a colorful clubhouse called “Animal Junction,” the brothers frater­ nized with a cheetah, a golden eagle, a humming bird, an apple snail, a chameleon and a slow loris, along with their animated leaping lemur sidekick, Zoboo. Alternating safari footage, studio

stuff and excellent claymation with their own in-your-face antics, they make the important point that “we can all run togeth- er, even though we’re different.” Like modern-day Noahs, the Kratts are building a compelling case for the long-term survival of the species. All of them. And kids couldn’t be more receptive to the idea. This summer more than 150,000 came out to see the pair on their nationwide Zoo Tour, which raised close to $700,000 to establish a “Creaturefuge” for grizzly bears in Montana. Children waited in a Santa-like line for hours to get autographs from Martin and Chris and, in many cases, to turn over their piggy banks to the cause of conservation. If they are fully cognizant of their messianic power, the broth­ ers don’t show it — they are as accessible and down-to-earth in real life as they are on camera. That celebrity-proofing may be a result of spending so much time overseas, photographing wildlife, or the relative anonymity they still enjoy returning to Burling­ ton, their home for the past year. W hen they’re not lying with lions in Botswana,'the brothers K are Green Mountain Boys. Vermont is, after all, where their collaborative creature craze started. In summers, the Kratt family ventured up on extended camping trips to the Northeast Kingdom, where they still own land. The brothers explored the woods with their St. Bernard Heidi, who frequently tangled with porcupines. The experience gave them an appreciation for animals, and nature, that comes through in everything they do. “One of the great things

about Vermont is, there are so many wild areas still,” says 31year-old Chris, who is single and lives outside Burlington, about 50 minutes from his brother. “I’m just not a city guy.” That may explain why he ended up studying biology at Carleton College in Minnesota, while his older brother Martin, now 34 and recently married, went for zoology at Duke. But even when thousands of miles apart, the brothers were on simi­ lar career tracks. Martin was in Costa Rica, studying howler monkeys, when the duo hatched the idea of a nature documentary aimed at real animal empathizers. “We were amazed there were no animal shows for kids,” Chris recalls. “We bought a camcorder at Crazie Eddie’s,” he says, recalling the fast-talking retailer with a hearty laugh, “and took a semes­ ter off.” Among other animal adventures, they filmed the “Arribada,” the annual sea turtle nesting event in Costa Rica, where 40,000 turtles crawl up onto a 1-kilometer beach to lay eggs. “That was our first show,” Chris says. “ We were setting up the tripod, pressing ‘record,’ put­ ting our backpacks on, running, standing in front of the camera and then running back to press c ^ yyy stop. That boyish enthusiasm lends the Kratt shoots their manit charm. But it took a few years, and a lot of elementary-school screenings, to get the mix of edu­ cation and entertainment just right. At the end of 1992 — three years after the first trip to Costa Rica — the Kratt tapes caught the eye of producer Leo Eaton at Maryland Public

ou’d expect the Burlington office of the Kratt brothers to be a little more, well, zoological. But the wildlife is limited to two very exuberant dogs. Wyatt is M artins white Lab.

several ongoing ancillary activi­ ties spawned by their television success. The Burlington office has launched a booming line of “merch,” including little Zobooshaped backpacks. The brothers are also talking about developing new programs, all of which means potential profits for the Kratts and for their producing partners, PBS and the Canadianbased company Cinar. “Part of the time you are writing a script. Part of the time you are there filming wildlife. Part of the time you are editing. Then you are doing accounting,” Chris says of the variety involved in conceiving, creating and star­ ring in your own television series. He shrugs off the grueling pro­ duction schedule to draw atten­ tion to the brothers’ real motiva­ tion: “We are on a mission to meet all the animals on the plan­ et, so we have a lot of creature

All the post-production work happens in Montreal, which is also where the “Animal Junction” sections of the show are filmed in long stretches. Creatures are always involved, which adds a bit of uncertainty to the equation, even within the confines of a stu­ dio.

Chris looked down to find a devil sniffing, and then touching, his knee. “I got a little nervous so I moved my knee, which startled him. He had no idea I was a liv­ ing thing.

We were in the same position the manatees were,” Chris recalls. Such moments expose kids to the animals’ perspective. Minus the mating and killing, of course. “W hat we noticed is that, in traditional wildlife shows, ani­ mals are often treated as objects, you know, like scientific curiosi­ ties,” Chris continues. “We just try to see them as fellow crea­ tures. T hat’s where the imita­ tion comes in. We try to find out what it’s like to be the ani­ mals, get in their heads a bit.” That field work has also given them great insight into the minds of children, which they hope will stay open to animals long after they become adults. ®

H e e lin g Touch Vermont’s Dr. Doolittle is an animal behaviorist mostly about physically forcing an animal to do something rather than working with its mind and pril Frost has no problem heart,” Frost writes in her 1998 with teaching dogs to book, Beyond Obedience: Training come, sit, stay or lie down. With Awareness For You & Your After all, they already know how Dog. “It was a tough, insensitive to do that, she observes. But that business about getting them to do method that made no allowances for differences in temperament, in it when you want them tot1She’d personality, or even in size rather use terms like “communi­ between animals.” cation” and “requests” than the Frost’s “training with aware­ more dominating “obedience ness” — a term she has tradetraining” and “commands.” In marked — is the opposite of fact, Frost also rejects “master” or tough, and yet the people who “owner,” “discipline” and even the attend her many workshops and word “pets” — all of these terms individual counseling sessions suggest a kind of top-down man­ agement that counters everything 1 she believes in. To Frost, an animal behavior­ ist and longtime, award-winning trainer of dogs and horses, these . creatures are companions, friends and even teachers. And what she does on her lovely wooded hill­ side in Walden is facilitate animal communication. No, she’s not teaching dogs to talk; she’s teach­ ing humans how to understand and commune with their animals, leave with more effective ways of interacting with their dogs than so that the animals in turn learn they ever thought possible. And what is expected of them. Most they learn there is no single right behavior “problems” in dogs — way to do so — dogs, like or other domesticated animals — humans, are individuals, and the are due to inadvertent miscominteraction with each of them is munication from humans, she unique. That said, certain behav­ says. ior patterns are familiar between “Old-style dog training was

dogs and their humans. “My dog had an aggression problem with other dogs,” says Ann Cattaneo of Worcester. “She would lunge at the end of the leash and bark at other dogs. W hat we came down to is that she had been attacked by another dog in a dog park.” After that, Cattaneo says, she was the fearful one, tensing up and tightening the leash whenever she saw another dog approach. Shady was merely taking her cue from Cattaneo’s behavior, and assum­ ing the oncoming animal was a threat.

Since working with Frost, she says, she’s learned to “stay grounded and not put any fear out there,” and to make gentle but clear corrections. “I’ll say ‘leave it,’ and pop the leash a little bit to let her know, and stop walking. It’s the humans who are getting trained,” Cattaneo con­

firms. “Shady’s doing really well now. ” Impressed with Frost and her methods, Cattaneo started apprenticing a couple of days a week with her in Walden. A grad­ uate student in education at Goddard College, she’s “trying to see how I can connect animals and children. Through April I’m learning so much about animal behavior, how they communicate to each other,” Cattaneo says. “I want to learn how to communi­ cate with them positively and to teach kids.” Shady provided her with another lesson soon enough: “She ripped her leg open on a beaver stick,” Cattaneo says. “April cleaned her out, but we had to take her to the vet because she needed stitches.” Though she is not a veterinarian and readily works with them, Frost teaches a multitude of ways to get and keep

dogs healthy. Her Web site at www. weallareone.com indicates the breadth of information Frost imparts, and the resources in the natural world she draws upon. The basics are training with awareness — including a special class for puppies — nutrition and other preventive health measures, doggie first aid and even CPR. It’s the other classes that reveal Frost’s holistic and spiritual orientation — she prefers to call it “integrat­ ed”: “Reiki Level I,” a hands-on method of channeling universal life force energy to “promote healing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual plane.” “Seeing Auras Work-shop,” designed “to help you transcend the limits of your present reality.” “Expanding and Enhancing Your Relationship and Communica-

O p en L etter to V erm on ters Recently, a number o f prominent Republicans have openly questioned Ruth Dwyer’s fitness to serve as gover­ nor. They have referred to her as being “polarizing, intolerant and temperamentally unsuited to being governor.” Bernard Rome, a former GOP candidate for governor, said, “Site is an extremist.” Unfortunately, those o f us in her hometown o f Thetford. can confirm the conclusion reached by these members o f Ms. Dwyer’s own party, for we have direct experience with (the destruction caused by her divisive style and inability to compromise. When Ms. Dwyer first ran for school board in Thetford, she was politically new and unknown, and thus per­ ceived by many as a fresh voice, personally interested in the betterment o f our children’s education. Following her election, however, it became clear that she was in favor o f nothing but slashing expenditures to lower taxes, without any thought at all to the effect on the school. •" Each year she strenuously opposed her own board’s budget, with a style so contentious and insulting that school board and town meetings were marked by discord, confrontation, and acrimony. The result was a division in our community such as we had never seen before. Our excellent elementary school, the first in Vermont to pass the stringent school approval process, was left with dramatically abbreviated programs in art, music, and physical education. By the time she was voted off the board, the elementary school could not have passed the school approval process. When challenged to identify anything she had done to improve the quality o f education at the school during her term in office, Ms. Dwyer offered no response. When she ran for a second term, Thetford took this first available opportunity to vote her out o f office. We were not surprised when, as a legislator, Ms. Dwyer quickly developed a reputation for intemperate remarks and a lack o f cooperation with her fellow lawmakers. Her time in Montpelier was consequently without accomplishment. She is probably best remembered for her outrageous comments equating the Holocaust with a bill regulating the clear-cutting o f forest land. Since 1994, Ms. Dwyer has not earned a majority vote in Thetford in any general election. In fact, her percentages have steadily declined. In her first bid for representative, she took Thetford with 51%of the total vote , which was a mere 18 votes. In her second attempt, with recount, she won the district but lost Thetford by 80 votes (47%); and when she ran for governor in 1998, she lost to Dean in Thetford by 263 votes (39%). It’s clear that the people who know her best are rejecting, more strongly with each election, her rancorous approach to politics. After Ms. Dwyer shifted her attention to state government, Thetford was able to make headway in healing the rift caused by her behavior. Our fine elementary school has been restored to its former distinction and, once again, civility and respect for divergent viewpoints reign at school and town meetings. During this year’s race for governor, the people o f Vermont have begun to see what we in Thetford have experi­ enced for years: Ms. Dwyer does not let the truth get in the way o f her opinions. Through the years, Vermont has been blessed with excellent governors from both major political parties. In terms o f experience, education, and lead­ ership qualities such as consensus-building and vision, we have been exceedingly well served. Most importantly, our governors have understood that they must represent all Vermonters, not just those o f a particular political philosophy. Because our experience in Thetford with Ms. Dwyer has been quite the opposite, we wanted to share it with others.

etween classes and individ­ ual counseling sessions in Walden, Frost has been pretty busy since she moved to Vermont just over a year ago — she outgrew her 10 acres in Cornish, New Hampshire, and fell in love with the 55-acre prop­ erty in Walden. But the members of her own lively menagerie — 23 dogs (most of them rescued), seven horses, five cats, a bunch of chickens and a few doves — have their needs, too. Her days begin with a mass feeding and “giving the dogs a chance to eliminate.” Not surprisingly, her animals are a happy and well-behaved bunch — though Black Hawk the Australian shepherd can’t seem to stop rounding up the hens. “His mission is to make the chickens walk faster,” quips Frost. “They’re free-range chickens, but he wants them all in the coop.” Otherwise, the “vibe” around Frost’s rustic log cabin feels pretty positive and welcoming to both animals and humans. For starters, like a lot of views in Vermont, hers is stunning — her Arab and miniature horses graze on a slope that falls away to fields and mountains beyond; the front yard features a small pond, a stand of pines and, in the summer, a teepee. Some of the non-domes­ tic animals apparently like the place, too. “We’ve had a mother moose and her calf around here,” Frost reports, “and 10 wild turkeys walking down the drive.” Frost herself is a slender, mid­ dle-aged woman whose demeanor is an assuring combination of pleasant and no-nonsense. She’s been an “animal person” since she

tion With Animals,” in which participants learn how their “own energy, in the form of thoughts, words and intentions, affects ani­ mals.” “Working with Animals Using Vibrational Energy,” which teaches how to use applied kinesi­ ology, flower Essences, herbs, homeopathic remedies and in general restore harmony to the energy field. This Sunday Frost will offer her seeing-auras workshop in Walden. Learning how to “see the energy pattern of people, plants, animals and even what are called inanimate objects,” she says, you become aware of how your own thoughts change the energy around you, and how to direct positive energy to another. In the non-language world of dogs, for example, this can come in handy. Later this month, she’s doing a basic animal communications weekend workshop at the Lightgate center in Thetford. Her CD, Heart to Heart: Enhancing the Human/Animal Connection, is a guided meditation teaching lis­ teners to deeply relax, tune in to their own consciousness and cre­ ate an “energy symbol” that links themselves to their animal com­ panions. You might say April Frosts Animal Vision Inc. is a combina­ tion of common sense and sixth sense. “The connection people get in a three-day workshop with her is amazing,” says Cattaneo, who in her short time with Frost has seen people come in from Ottawa, Long Island, Maryland, even Washington State. “Her way , is very different than any other

was a girl, she says. Growing up in New Hampshire, she was a lonely only child in a strict household that had no use for her telepathic communication with some neighborhood squirrels. When those squirrels were killed by some local boys, Frost blamed herself for teaching them to trust humans, and shut down this spe­ cial “connection.” She didn’t shut out animals in any other way, though; Frost was grooming them professionally by the time she was in high school, did animal rescue work and became a nationally recognized show handler and breeder of horses and dogs. It wasn’t until much later, when she fell ill with Lyme disease, that she began to restore her “consciousness” with animals. With “the end of my second marriage and the loss of my health and ability to work,” she writes in Beyond Obedience, a psychic friend suggested she ask her animals for help. She did. “The floodgates opened,” Frost recalls. “I realized that I had

always interacted with animals on an intuitive level without being ' able to define what I did.” Since then her work has been as much a spiritual journey of her own as a means of training animals. Still, plenty of visitors come to Walden for practical and down-to-earth advice. “We’ve received the occasional bird, some

It’s easy to imagine Frost being a snake charmer, but the majority of her “clients” are dogs, and the biggest part of her work is behavioral consultation. “I find most animals are very loving,” she says.

a more human-compatible way. Punishment isn’t effective, because the dog doesn’t know his or her behavior is wrong. The real trainees, as far as Frost is concerned, are the human companions. “They are the ones empowered to make changes in the dog,” she says, “If nothing changes in the people, nothing will change in the dogs.” ®

ILLU STR A TIO N : SCO TT LENHARDT

o, its come to this. I’ve grudgingly outed myself at parties, been forced to confess to friends and have final­ ly told my parents. Now I must put it in print: There is a little smoldering lump of coal in my chest where my love for pets should reside. Note that I write “pets,” and not “ani­ mals.” Animals are different than pets. Animals, for example, don’t reside in my home. Animals find their own food. Animals are welcome to poop wherever they like. Animals can train their own damned selves to come and go. But pets — ah, pets... Unlike animals, pets have names with no Latin subgenus. Pets have little habits, adorable and otherwise. Pets need to be let out, and almost immediately, let back in again. Most importantly, transforming an animal into a pet requires care, affec­ tion and even love. You might flirt with the dangers of becoming attached to a pet. You might think that you need a pet. Take an animal from the wilds of a pet store, and you’ll suddenly realize that the pet needs you. Pets, simply put, are not for sissies — and this sissy says: Give me the flinty detachment of a black bear or a rattlesnake any day.

For example, on a recent hike with a 10-year-old child, we were fortunate enough to spot a jackrabbit right in front of us. / n avid bird-watcher, the child sighed in delight at the sight of the rabbit. “You know what would make this just perfect?” He lisped. “If a red-tailed hawk swooped down and picked that bunny up for dinner.” Would this budding Sir David Attenborough even think such a thing, were the jackrabbit to inhabit a backyard cage and be named “Flopsy?” Perhaps you’re beginning to get my point. This whole pet thing is just way too risky. Please accept the mantle of deputy therapist while I settle back on the couch. It all began in childhood, in a series of hair-balled houses where my mother maintained a strict 6-to-l feline-to-family-member ratio. Strays arrived at our door with alarming frequency, as though our fence was marked with an X, like hobo-friendly houses during the Depression. And so they came, a veritable Underground Railroad of the pregnant, the sick and the unwanted. We were lit­ tered with litters: They came to give birth in the backyard, in our shoes, in the messiest recess of my closet, where skirts had fallen from hangers simply, it seemed, to make a comfortable nest. They came to endure bouts of dysen­ tery, always near the TV. They came to have growths excised by the kind veteri­ narian who had a crush on my mother and always sent condolence cards when the patients died. They ranged, they slunk, they leapt down from the curtains. They mated, yowling at midnight — and the resemblance to Neil Young’s singing voice has since prevented me from ever

taking any pleasure in it. They ate too much grass and vomited. They ate too much fur and vomited. They ate any Halloween candy ajt all and vomited. But even I, the little lump of coal not yet diamond-hard, had some favorites. There was Surprise, a cross-eyed Siamese who specialized in the jump-from-thecurtains trick, thus earning her name. And there was sweet, darling little Milk Mustache, all orangey and plump, a rim

white rat, a descendant of those lab rats raised solely on a potentially cancer-caus­ ing diet o f orange soda pop and white bread. It frisked along happily enough in our house on brown bread and tofu scraps, but one day grew suddenly huge with a tumor that enlarged overnight until it popped, exploding the rats chest. Pets can be illogical: Hamsters are nocturnal; children are diurnal. So all you have of a hamster is a sleeping form in the

with. It’s terrifying enough to conceive of raising a child. Add a dog to the mix and you realize that your bouncy, slurpy puppy requires the same attentive care as a baby. Chewed shoes, chewed couch legs, chewed pigs’ ears, and — if you live with a sort of joyous je ne sais quoi — chewed underwear redecorate your house as soon as Puppy moves in. The air becomes redo­ lent of spit and excited squirts of piddle. An entire revolution around the sun is

At one point M.M . went off to live in a commune with my uncle and his band — before my uncle became a born-again stockbroker who still isn’t sure if God wants him to have a BMW or a Mercedes. He does, however, live pet-free. Ten months of commune life and Milk Mustache was returned to us, lean and scruffy — and renamed as Punk, a cat so stupid from being batted around in a cloud of dope smoke that you could push .him off the low ledge of a piano bench and he would­ n’t land on his feet. You see how it is with pets. You screw ’em up, they stay screwed up. No lying on a couch jawing the talking cure, no sec­ ond chances, no nice lunch out to make it all up.

day and a creaking wheel to disturb your sleep at night. Pets are vulnerable: We had a bird. Cat ate him. We had another bird. You guessed it. None of this happens with animals. O f course, they have traumas, might explode, do stay up all night and often get eaten. But we generally accept this as part of the natural round of things — the daily Darwinian dilemmas of the animal kingdom. W hen these same “natural” things happen to pets, out comes the shoe box, the children weeping in black crepe. Sissy says: Fuhgeddaboutit. Not yet found in scientific journals, my hierarchy of emotional risk goes like this: animals; pets in general; cats; and then dogs, the pet-tiest of all pets, and therefore the most dangerous to consort

But Baby presumably toddles off to college, earns a degree, makes a living and returns home to care for Mom and Dad, offering small chocolates at bedtime and foot rubs at lunch. As a bonus, baby can usually learn to speak. N ot Dog. Sure, Dog gives unconditional love and loyalty, but you put all that work into Dog and then, 8 to 10 years later, what does it do? It dies.

never goes to school — unless you take it there and stay, prac­ ticing fricative commands until you too are redolent of spit — and doesn’t ultimately move out to a house of its own that isn’t located in the backyard. The upside is that Dog rarely likes rap music any louder than you do, and never mutters “bitch” under its breath when you order it to lie down. All that said, Baby still wins.

beacon of evidence in your dog’s personality, more than any genetic progeny could ever mir­ ror. Tend to shy away from chal­ lenges? Your dog is guaranteed to be a sniveling little coward that attacks other dogs only when they’re chained to light poles or locked in cars. Have a few sweet little neuroses that only add charm to your demeanor? Your canine compan­ ion won’t get In the car unless physically lifted in, will only eat food that you’ve cooked yourself — please add the scent of hot, simmering horse meat to the list of spit and piddle — and will only take the leash if you attach it from the right side, not the left. Perhaps my risk-o-meter rises because I’m not good with dogs. They sense it; accordingly and perversely, they love me. I need merely step through the thresh­ old of a dog-run house, and King drops his pig ear to slather up my jeans and hump my leg with the rigor of a V-6 engine stuck in fifth gear. Politely push­ ing him down is an invitation to increased exertions; simply standing there weeping is inter­ preted as foreplay. I tend to back out of the threshold, clutching my dish-to-share in shaking hands and remembering that dinner parties are never much fun, anyway. People just talk about babies and pets. ®

yelp in the woods alerted me that something was wrong. A minute later, my dog Ama crawled into the house and rolled over. She revealed a large gaping wound in her side, caused by unintentionally inti­ mate relations with a sharp stick. I whisked her to the vet. He per­ formed emergency surgery, put her on antibiotics, crowned her with an “Elizabethan collar” — a large plastic cone so she couldn’t lick her wound — and sent her home. The bill was $404.65. Two weeks later, when the original incision became infected, I didn’t think twice about taking Ama to the doggie emergency room, though it cost $75 just to walk in the door. Two more surgeries, two more rounds of ^ antibiotics and several boxes of tear-stained tis­ sues later, my wallet was even thinner. By the time Ama was back to her healthy self, I was $1000 in the hole, and slightly in shock. Medical emergencies are but one way your dog — or any other pet — can help relieve you of discretionary income. All dogs, from precocious purebreds to mangy mutts, incur both routine and unforeseen costs. Those costs

can be surprising, which is one reason 6 to 10 million animals end up in shelters in the U.S. each year. As much as you might be smitten by that puppy in the pet store or Humane Society, owning a dog is a serious respon­ sibility, and anyone considering ownership needs to be prepared, with checkbook in hand. If you go for it, adopting your dog will be the smallest chunk of change you spend on him or her. I paid the Humane Society $75 to adopt Ama, a mix-breed spayed puppy. Purebreds start at $400. It didn’t cost my neighbor, Lee, anything to adopt his two Husky mixes; he got them from a friend. But one November, two weeks before Thanksgiving, the dogs killed 13

nance and management capital. Dogs need vaccinations and “fix­ ing,” and obedience school is highly recommended. Leash and collar, kennel or fence and toys can add up, never mind the basic costs of food, treats, grooming, yearly shots and heartworm pills. Dogs need dental care, too. Presuming yours likes the dentist even less than you do, Spot will need to be sedated for any proce­ dure, an additional expense. If your dog is accident-prone, or suffers the predictable mal­ adies of his breed — chronic ear infections, skin problems, bad hips or soft teeth, to name a few — canine health insurance is worth considering.

How Much is That... Continued from page 21a I’ve been relatively lucky with my dog so far; Ama gener­ ally goes to the vet just once a year. However, her surgery this summer was not her first. She has ribboned her stomach on barbed wire, been hit by a car, broken a toe and had a pad stitched after she gashed it on a piece of glass. Though we spend a lot of time together outdoors

the $12 for self-service washing at a professional facility. When you get a dog, plan to supplement your vacation budg­ et. Someone needs to take care of Rover while you’re on the Riviera. Boarding costs around $25 a night, unless your little darling needs special attention, and then it can be a lot more. If you want someone to look after your pet while you’re at work,plan to pay about $ 12 per day to a sitting service. If you go to Doggie Daycare in Williston,

“Dogs aren’t Ilittle people In dog suits.” Joanne Bourbeau, Humane Society in winter, thankfully she hasn’t needed knee or elbow recon­ struction — that’s as common in snowbound hounds as in skiing humans, and a $600 to $800 procedure. When a skunk perfumed Ama last year, I spent $15 on tomato juice and vinegar, plus another $10 lor skunk odor remover. Once before when she got sprayed, my bathroom suf­ fered significantly from a washand-dry experience neither of us enjoyed. This time I forked over

To me there’s no greater pleasure than taking my dog hik­ ing, but this presents risks. “I’ve had guys come in who were up from Pennsylvania hiking the Long Trail,” relates Dr. Gary Solow of Ark Veterinary Services in Shelburne. “Their dog came in contact with a porcupine, jumped on the thing and pound-

ed it into the ground. They had to hike out to the nearest road and try to hitch a ride for them­ selves and a drooling dog with a mouth full of quills.” Vets charge either by the quill or by the minute, and to have the barbed needles removed from your dogs snout usually runs $50 to $300. Dogs also like to snack, often on whatever is in reach and sometimes when the owners aren’t around. Solow’s reports are incredible: a Lab who ate the driveway and had a full five pounds of rock removed from his belly; a Doberman who swal­ lowed seven pacifiers, which were removed from his intestinal tract in five separate surgeries; pets who’ve consumed fiberglass insulation, carpeting, clothing and car seats. “A guy brought his girlfriend home to his parent’s house from college,” Solow remembers. “In the morning she noticed her pantyhose were gone around the same time the dog started throw­ ing up. I operated and found the pantyhose, two tube socks and a pair of boy’s underwear in the dog’s stomach. It was like open­ ing the dryer!” Gear shifts, bread dough and tampons from the trash are lifethreatening objects, if untreated in a dog’s intestinal tract. Their removal can cost an owner $500 to $ 1000 before Fido can stay • sit, stay or lie down. “Dogs aren’t little people in dog suits,” cautions Joanne Bourbeau, Northeast Regional Director for the Humane Society of the United States. “They’re dogs. They have other instincts, behavior issues and care requirements. It’s up to owners to educate themselves about what to expect and how to respond.” If you want to own a dog, it’s best if you also own your own home. Many landlords don’t allow pets at all, and some require large deposits, as much as a full month’s rent, for the right to let Rufus have free range. A high percentage of pet owners pay when they leave — for chewed moldings, table legs, stained or scratched floors. One local Lab, driven crazy by the buzz of his owner’s chainsaw and the crackling of falling trees, ate his way from the outside to the inside of the house, consuming clapboard, insulation and sheetrock. Luckily, he missed the wiring. So why have a dog if it’s so much trouble? You could ask yourself the same question about children. My dog really is my best friend, and my most loyal companion. She cheers me up when I’m feeling glum, gets me outdoors when I’m feeling sloth­ ful, and does her part to protect me — even if it does mean keep­ ing the UPS man at bay. While Ama has certainly cost me more than I ever anticipated, I can’t put a price tag on the thump of her tail on the floor when I get home, the nuzzle of her cold, wet nose, her not-tooslobbery licks and the happiness she brings me every day. For bet­ ter, for worse, for richer, for poorer... hey, what’s that gnaw­ ing sound? ®

FA T CA TS Whoa, Nellie, does somebody need to go on a diet! We realize that long-haired critters can appear deceptively, well, obese, but the photos in this category were persuasive. Though a big guy named Marauder — owned by Angela Longley of Milton — is techni­ cally the heaviest at 25.4 pounds, we just had to bow down to King Louie. Even at a less-plump 18 pounds, Louie’s shameless sprawl on the couch held us in awe. “My pet deserves to win the ‘Fat Cat’ category because when we want him to come inside, all we need to say is, ‘Do you want to eat?’ and he comes running. “King Louie was born to be big. His longest whisker is 5" and his paws were enormous as a kitten, so we knew he had potential. His favorite human/pet trick is to arm wrestle, however, we call it The Satanic Death Grip. He flops on his back, grabs a well-pro­ tected arm with all four paws, not using his claws, and locks on tight with his teeth, purring wildly. If he did­ n’t weigh 18 pounds, I could carry him around the house like that. Even a Kitty Hoot can’t distract his trance.” — Marianne Eaton & Steve Murphy Bristol

H AU TE CREATU RE We almost had to pick a cat and a dog here, because Boris the cat, owned by Penelope Fenyvest of New Haven, was pretty stylin’ with his poodle­ like haircut. But he wasn’t, after all, dressed, which was the point of this category. So our hearts went out to little Rusty, even though the washerwoman outfit seems a little declassee. “You’d think when you get to be my age, they’d have someone else clean the floors.” — Leslie Bouchard (Rusty owned by Jill Cline) Burlington

P ET PEEVES Maybe the critters have been less naughty since last year, or maybe their owners don’t want to be tat­ tle-tales, but we received fewer entries for bad behav­ ior this time around. Perhaps that helped Koshka win by a landslide. “Since prospective buyers were scheduled to come to see the house, I had to have everything in tip-top shape. The furniture was vacuumed of kitten hair, mouse toys collected... and Dum u and Koshka corralled onto the back porch... “In their tour of the house, the buyers checked out the porch and gawked at the two 3-month-old kittens... O f course, the back door was never closed again... “My realization that our kittens were climbers occurred while talking to the realtor... As we talked, her face suddenly lost focus on our chat and her eyes went wide. She then started doing a little dance right in the middle of the living room. Just as I was think­ ing that she was putting on a victory dance about the sale, a kitten dropped onto the carpet from inside her dress and ran away... The humored buy­ ers bought the house.” — Tiki Archambeau Burlington

U N LEA SH ED We just can’t think of any way to pare down this most-entered miscellaneous category — or maybe it’s just that so many pet shenanigans are simply uncategorizable. In any case, due to ferocious competition we had to subdivide into cat and dog winners again. Although we loved the photo of Callie and Hobbes caught in a furry embrace, and the demonic stand-up act of the Siamese Lestat, we think you’ll agree the picture of Maxc is worth a thousand treats. Dog-wise, although the toothy grin of a white-faced Golden named Shelby is worth framing, and the pooch-in-apool Charlie Muzzy is too darn cute, we were swayed by the good deed of an adorable Boxer, Franklin.

Dog: “Franklin was playing in the park on October 19 and was digging in the leaves and dirt and uncovered a purse, with ID and credit cards inside. We notified the owner and she was very happy to get her purse back — it had been stolen.” — Johnnie McLaughlin & M atthew Viens Burlington

Cat: “This is Maxc. We got lucky to adopt her from a farm south of Charlotte — the farm owners found her hud­ dled with the bunnies in the barn. Separated from her litter, she was tiny — and hard to catch. After several days we were able to bring her home to Shelburne; a couple months later she was giving birth in the doorway of my bedroom! We ended up with three amazingly awesome little peepers...” — Terye Ritchey B u rlin g to n

Dog: Mocha’s owner is a woman of few words, but the photo of her chocolate Lab puppy did the convincing. “My pet deserves to win because she is so freakin’ cute.” — Monica Sullivan Milton

Cat (top of page, left): Call us suckers, but we couldn’t resist Daela at seven weeks, in what was surely a rare moment of composure. “I think the answer to this question is obvious.

PAW PRINTS F E E D IN G - F R E N Z Y Last year- so many of you ffrought up strange stuff your pets eat that we decid­ ed to give food a category of its own. And there were enough doozies here to make us wonder if some of Vermont’s domesticated animals don’t suffer from some weird vitamin deficiency! We really liked Carly, owned by Sue Higby of Barre City, for her obsession with corn on the cob — attributed to her Midwestern upbringing. But we all fell for Dimitria, in part because she was the only non-dog or cat in the whole contest — and the only vegetarian. “My green iguana Dimitria has quite a peculiar diet. Her daily salads consist of chopped mustard greens, kale, collard greens, dandelion greens and fruit (bananas are a favorite). Dimitria also has cravings for human food and has been known to beg for bread, muffins, and even McDonald’s Breakfast Burritos!” — Leah Benis Joy Colchester

S U R V IV A L O F T H E F IT T E S T Gosh, it’s a wonder any pet hearts are still beating out there. We’ve read so many tales of woe in the past we decided to create a category honoring the pets who’ve made it through some harrowing circumstances and lived to purr, or bark, about it. Again, the volume of responses forced us to choose a cat and dog winner. And we gotta tell you, these stories made us think twice before complaining about non-life-threatening colds or indigestion.

Cat: We have to give credit to Crybaby — owned by Sharry and Hon. Wynn Underwood — for sheer longevity. The Burlington feline with the distinctive voice is 24! But the story of Mittens, a.k.a. Mitty, won out. “W hat a mouser Mitty was in her day! She cleared out all the mice in the 1850s farmhouse we share, and all the snakes on the property as well. She so often committed murder without remorse that we took to calling her Caligula — especially when her prey included some of the more popular species. With her streetfighter attitude, her experience as a stray, and her wide paws with the extra thumbs, she took on raccoons and skunks fearlessly. “She was so fearless, in fact, that a decade ago Mitty took on a pickup truck and underwent two surgeries that included the placement and subsequent removal of a steel pin in her crushed femur next to her hip. We aren’t sure exactly what repairs the vehi­ cle required. Mitty slowed down as the arthritis set in and her girth increased. She now resembles a Hum-Vee as she patrols the mowed front yard and the overgrown back yard in search of easy prey or a sunny spot to lie down, whichever comes first.” — Britta & Merry Kay Shernock Northfield

PET N AM ES Some Seven Days readers clearly have a lot o f time on their hands, because they must have sat around for quite awhile thinking up monikers like Fergus, Lord Tweedlemouth, or Eggs or Tinkertwee. But Dr. Schweitzer won paws down for his most appropriate appellation — his owner even sent in a photo of the original as evidence. And yes, we know it’s the same menagerie mom whose puppy won in “Beauty of the Beast,” but a vote is a vote and it can’t be helped. “My pet deserves to win in this category because not only is his name unique, he bears an uncanny resem­ blance to his namesake.” ,

Dogs: When it comes to canines, Darwin would have to tip his hat. So many dogs have endured fates worth than death that we ended up with a tie. Though we probably should have disqualifed David Carrier for the two-plus-page story he sent in, reading it convinced us that little Border Terrier Dorin

deserves more than a reward in heaven — as does his devoted owner. However, we will have to reduce his lengthy story to a list: first, being hit by a car, undergoing surgery and losing all the back teeth in his lower right jaw; 15 years later, fading eyesight due to cataracts and subsequent surgery to implant artificial lens­ es; no sooner could he see but a couple of walnut-sized growths appeared in the back of his gum, and they were malignant — more surgery, and the loss of half his lower jaw. Now, writes Carrier, “Dorin has come out on the healthy side of an intensive, fourhour surgery, five days on morphine and three chemotherapy treatments. He shows no signs of any cancer, the recently gruesome incisions are long healed and being covered over by fur on his neck and the otter-like bristly growth of hair on his face...” — D a v id Carrier

Burlington O ur hearts went out to Shadoe, who makes a case for the rescue of animals every­ where. His story was also a little long to publish verbatim, so we’ll edit: “I found Shadoe, a Black Labrador puppy, abandoned, perched on a snow bank, in a parking lot at a shopping center. It was a very cold day, the temperature in the teens on February 15, 1995. Shadoe... was so cold he was beyond the point of shivering. I picked the tiny dog up and put him inside my wool jacket... It was then he started to shiver. “After unsuccessfully trying to find out who may have lost this puppy, on February 21 I took Shadoe to the vet­ erinarian. I decided to keep Shadoe aftd gave him his nam e... He had mange, his ears were infected and he has droop: nerve damage to the left side of his face. At five weeks Shadoe weighed six pounds.” In the ensuing years Shadoe was awarded all sorts of doggie diplomas, and today at 6 years old weighs 65 pounds and has completed a section of the Long Trail, earning a certificate from the Green Mountain Club. — L eo A .

Chemo? A new book looks at terminal illness in animals

B y K r istin D’A gostino hen her cat Puck died, Deborah Straw had had enough — of cancer. It was the fourth pet the Burlington writer had lost in two decades to the devastating disease. Her response to her grief was journalistic: Straw dedicated herself to researching pet cancer and what to do about it, and then wrote a book. Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets? How You Can Protect and Treat Your Animal Companion is the comprehensive reference book she wishes shed had 15 years ago, when her first animal fell ill. This month, the book will become available to the pet­ owning public. It covers nutrition, con­ ventional and holistic treatments for can­

W

cer, pet health insurance — just about everything an animal owner should know. In an interview this week, Straw gave ■Seven Days a pre-pub preview. Seven Days: What are the most common causes o f cancer in household pets? Deborah Straw: There is no real agree­ ment within the veterinary medical com­ munity about causes. A few include increasing age, genetic issues, pesticides and herbicides, dangerous food or poor drinking water, some vaccines, second­ hand smoke, excessive sun and high levels of stress. Certain breeds have predisposi­ tions to certain cancers.

DS: The most important issue is probably nutrition. Many pet foods, especially those commercial ones we find in grocery stores, are just not safe. They contain some shock­ ing ingredients, such as rendered, eutha­ nized animals, and other foods labeled unfit for human consumption... Most holistic veterinarians now recommend either a natural, homemade diet, composed primarily of grains, meat, vegeta­ bles and fruits, or a mixture of high-quality, specialty or pet store-bought food and a home­ made diet. Vitamins and mineral additives are also a good idea. Drinking water should be either filtered or distilled. Spaying female dogs prior to their first heat reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering male dogs elimi­ nates all testicular tumors and decreases the possibili­ ty of some other carcino­ mas. Finally, people who live with white or lightcolored cats should limit their exposure to sun­ light. Owners of white dogs can use sun­ screens on them, and these animals should avoid too much sun as well. These steps help reduce solarinduced cancers.

Another issue is vaccines. Fortunately, many veterinarians are cutting back onthe frequency and numbers of vaccines required. If a cat doesn’t go outside, she doesn’t need as many shots. Especially if an animal has cancer, he or she should not receive any vaccines. We also need to touch their bodies frequently to keep track of any new lumps or bumps. SD: What are the cancer warning signs to watch out for?

DS: Most veterinarians consider these to be possible symptoms of cancer: abnormal swellings or lumps that grow; non-healing sores; weight loss for no apparent reason; loss of normal appetite; bleeding or unusu­ al discharge from a body opening; a foul odor, especially from the mouth; difficulty eating or swallowing; loss of strength and disinterest in normal exercise; lameness or stiffness that continues; difficulty breath­ ing, defecating or urinating; or any other behavior changes. SD: What treatment did you use when you found out your pets had cancer? DS: We had surgeries, changed feeding habits, changed our water source, had our house tested for lead and radon. We did not know of most of the alternative [treat­ ments] — they were not offered around here. Now, more veterinarians within a

critical. If your veterinarian tends to be entirely conventional, I recommend getting a second, more alternative opinion. SD: What are examples o f the most effective holistic and conventional treatments? DS: Some effective holistic approaches include acupuncture, homeopathic reme­ dies, use of herbs — essiac is one of the more useful thus far — touch therapies and consideration of your animals stress level and emotions. The conventional treatments — including many new med­ ical techniques — work in some cases, at least for a time. I’d say the best approach is an integrative one, which considers many options. SD: To ivhat extent are holistic approaches accepted by veterinarians?

SD: Do you know whether the majority o f pet owners are paying for cancer treatment or optingfor euthanasia? DS: No idea. I think most pet owners do pay for some treatments, for as long as they can afford to. Now we can also buy various pet insurances or HMOs for our animals, so sometimes this helps cover costs. Be aware, however, that many pet insurances do not cover pre-existing condi­ tions such as cancer. We also need to con­ sider quality-of-life issues. SD: Do animals experience the same sideeffects to chemotherapy as do humans?

Vermont. In our area, perhaps three or four veterinarians include some holistic approaches... A great place for more infor­ mation on alternative veterinarian medi­ cine is AltVetMed.com, a Web site run by two vets.

DS: It is becoming more and more popular in this country. It’s more accepted in Western Europe, Canada and Australia... There’s a lot more holistic veterinary medi­ cine being practiced in California than in

DS: There is a wide range of answers on this issue. Some veterinarians dislike the use of chemotherapy and believe it has negative side-effects or is even dangerous. Others think it is an extremely useful part of treat­ ment. Dr. Dave Reinhard, assistant medical director for Veterinary Pet Insurance and a veterinarian, says that risks include toxicity to the kidneys, heart or liver. However, most of these are short-term. Animals do not lose their hair like humans. Earl Mindell, author of several books on both human and animal nutrition, says, “Chemotherapy and radia­ tion may kill a cancer in the short term, but in the long term the dog’s body is severely weakened and her chances of survival are diminished.”

Denise Kessler, a vet and co-owner of Affectionately Cats in Charlotte, is a pro­ ponent of the use of chemotherapy in many cases. “Don’t be afraid of chemother­ apy,” she told me. “It’s not as bad for ani­ mals as for hum ans...” Some new types of chemotherapy are under investigation for animals — and humans — which may produce fewer side-effects and less drug resistance. SD: I f your pet is diagnosed, how can you help to ease its emotional and physical pain ? DS: You can continue giving it lots of love. The diet probably should be adjust­ ed. Special cancer-patient foods exist, put out by Hill’s, which produces Science Diet. They have a dog product and are working on a feline product... If your ani­ mal won’t eat, you can warm her food and put it in whatever place she wishes to eat. She should eat in a quiet, stress-free place. Cats like warmth and “a room of their own.” Continuing to provide a high quality of life for your animal companion is critical. The best possible ways to prevent cancer or to maintain an old friend who already has it are these: adequate and appropriate exer­ cise, a nutritious diet, caution about pesti­ cides and other environmental risks, caring and current veterinary care, early detection and lots of love at home. ® Deborah Straw will sign copies o/'Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets?

He shows us play, loyalty, friendship and devotion; the pew seats and backs are held in place by dogs in the “sit” position, as if wait­ ing patiently for masters who have stepped around the corner for the morning paper. The tall candles, the carved Jbnglish spaniel where an altar would normally be, the overtly religious spaces, all elevate the place of dogs from the cold kennel to the hot, gushing heart. The idea that the doghuman bond is sacred has deep roots in Western culture, but it has always been a mournful one — we tend to outlive our canine companions. No less a writer than Kipling suffered openly in his “Power of the Dog” when he said, “Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware/Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.” The Dog Chapel emerges from this background with an almost shameless flourish, mak­ ing a powerful appeal to our senses, and senses of humor: A pooch with a halo is both funny and touching, silly and some­ how accurate. Huneck seems to know that he walks a fine line between what works and what is just a bit much, and he achieves balance by trusting his impulses. And by trusting his five dogs, which he observes closely. “Dogs teach us how to trust, how to have honor, how to play,” he says, and the impulse to build the chapel, once it entered his mind, seemed to get stuck there. “The more I thought about it,” he says in the chapel mission statement, “the more I realized it was something I simply had to do.” As impulses go, this oue was unusually expensive: Huneck estimates he spent about $175,000 building it, and con­ cedes that it took up a big

chunk of time and money he didn’t actually have. Even with his success — he has a main gallery in Woodstock, a gallery on Dog Mountain and work in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian, the Museum of American Folk Art and the Contemporary Museum of Art in Sydney, Australia — Huneck is still an artist, not a venture capitalist. But he didn’t waver: “I wanted this. This is what time and money are for. I would rather have a Dog Chapel than a pile of stocks any day.” . This fearlessness — about money, schmaltz and his own vulnerability — mark Huneck’s work and make it effective. He knows something of death, hav­ ing shaken hands with it during a dangerous, near-fatal illness a few years ago, and he emerged from the experience with a con­ viction that his work should address what matters. And “what matters,” he says, “is love. There isn’t anything else. People fear death because they don’t want to lose things, but the plain truth is that they will lose things.” By addressing the clean, final, and unquestioning love between a dog and a human, he helps people feel more love. His mission, it seems, is to get love out into the open. If you ever had a dog that lifted your heart, then the Dog Chapel’s wall of remembrance, complete with blurry photos and fond good­ byes, is perfectly contrived to make you revisit that relation­ ship. W hat’s striking is how these messages from visitors, though mostly composed in the plainest prose imaginable, take on new interest and urgency. “I miss'you,” reads one. “Life goes on,” goes another, “but it won’t be as interesting.” Also, “My first dog. I will love you forev» er. The Dog Chapel is about dogs, but no domestic animal is excluded; the wall of remem­ brance boasts a range of crea­ tures, including a rather enig-

The folksiness of his prints and sculptures is actually a little deceptive, since their intent is the opposite of easy and naive. The cumulative impact of these carefully made images is surpris­ ingly sophisticated; they work for the viewer because they are part of a belief system. “I never learned, growing up, that touch was a way of express­ ing affection,” Huneck explains. “It was painful, something to be avoided.” Yet his work is almost aggressively tactile; the crafts­ manship becomes a kind of redemption, arrived at the hard

love is transforming, and want the Dog Chapel t peak to that.” artist Stephen Hunec “When I was sick, while I was recovering, the doctors told me that people who have been in prolonged comas like I had been in often become mentally unstable. They said I could expect to have psychotic symp­ toms. I could possibly become paranoid, afraid and suspicious of everything. But the opposite happened — I lost my fears and I gained an appreciation of life’s basic things. I let that apprecia­ tion be how I live my life and do my work.” Inside the serene spaces of the Dog Chapel, appreciation rules. The artist trusts visitors,

Due to the volume of letters we have received on election-year issues, we decided to devote this humongous space to our readers’ comments. From all of us at Seven Days: Get out there and vote!

W e e k ly M a il c o n tin u e d from page 4 a TRUTH AND COMPASSION I think it is time to move for­ ward and more important than ever, in this new millennium, to keep our minds open and our hearts free of prejudice. So I am proud of this state and its elected officials who courageously voted for the civil unions law. I know homosexuality is still widely misunderstood and despised, but this is no reason, under our Constitution and Declaration of Independence, for gays and lesbians to have to live as second-class citi­ zens. Hate and religion is no excuse for the denial to our fellow Americans of their basic civil and human rights. What I find “immoral” is the vehement way gays and lesbians have been oppressed and ridiculed and raped of their Constitutional right to individuality and selfexpression. I had to make a choice not so long ago, not a choice about “lifestyle” but a choice to be true to myself and what I believe is my God. My life is about truth and compassion and I’m comforted to know I live in a state close to my heart. Thank you, Vermont. — Owen Mulligan Stowe

★ LU BIBLE HOMEWORK NEEDED I— Many vocally intolerant o Vermonters aren’t doing their home­ > work. Respecting any piece of litera­ ture entails reading it. Average U.S. bible literacy among so-called believers is appalling. In elementary o school these same folks probably did > book reports by reading the first page, last page, and a couple of pages in the middle. There was o never any apple in Eden, three wise > men at Jesus’ birth, nor donkey rid­ den by Jesus’ mother. The book is an exciting, occa­ sionally dry palette of many artistic o endeavors of style and content. > When we reduce its poetry and phi­ losophy into glib, self-serving retorts, we use greatness for evil. Do you think 1) “eye for an eye, tooth o for a tooth” was considered accept­ > able by Jesus; or 2) “spare the rod, spoil the child” appears in any Bible, or 3) “money is the root of all evil” is accurate? Literary compre­ o hension means reading even the parts you don’t like. Civil-union foes ★ should save lifestyle judgment for a LU higher power, not fellow humans. I— Consider the log before the mote o > and all that jazz. Love one another. We are all equal in the sight of a ★ higher power. Jesus shed the con­ straints of codified religion — so o can you. If you believe the book is > valid, you should render unto our government that which is the gov­ ernment’s province, namely tax and health-care benefits. Jesus was inten­ o tionally not an official king on > Earth. We’re Vermonters; we deserve more local control than national religious organizations afford... — Jeffrey Nelson Burlington ★ VOTERS NEED INFO ON LU COMMISSION CHANGE I— you for an excellent arti­ o cle Thank by George Thabault on the pro­ > posed change to the city charter to give the mayor sole authority for appointment of most department o heads [“Commission Impossible,” October 11]. I have been a member of the Parks Commission for a little ★ over a year now and have seen first­ hand how our commission form of O government works.

By virtue of, and only by virtue of, the authority to appointment the head of the department, five ordi­ nary citizens have the ability to question, prod and shape depart­ mental policies and make sure that the concerns brought to our atten­ tion by our fellow citizens are heard. It gives us incredible power, but power that we use sparingly and with due deference to the expertise of the professionals who work in our department. Just before I became a commis­ sioner, the voters approved a change that gave the mayor a say in the appointment or reappointment of department heads. This change made sense to me; surely the mayor should have a say in the choice of the person who is selected to run a department. Obviously given the mayor’s power, it is a larger say than it might appear on paper. But the commission maintained an impor­ tant role in selecting several candi­ dates for the mayor to choose from, and in voting on retention. That keeps the process from becoming too political. And it protects us from the very real danger of the department head becoming behold­ en only to the mayor and ignoring the commission. One year later, without allowing sufficient time to see how this new system will work, the mayor has asked the voters to eliminate the appointment authority of the com­ missions altogether. Why the rush to include this on the November ballot when most voters are focused on the larger elections and will have little time to consider the implica­ tions of this relatively minor issue? One can’t help but wonder if the timing was intentional and the incremental change passed only last year simply a measure designed to test the water to see if voters showed any concerns about preserving Burlington’s unique commission form of government... If the city council wants input on whether the commission form of government has outlasted its usefulness, an inde­ pendent study should be done. A drastic change to our city’s form of government shouldn’t happen unless the voters are given all the informa­ tion they need to make an informed choice. — Carolyn Hanson Burlington A VOTE FOR INSTANT RUN­ OFFS In his October 25 letter, “Unify to Stop Dwyer,” Steve Howard is just plain wrong when he states that “the only effect he [Pollina] can have... is to elect Mrs. Dwyer.” There are a number of effects that Pollina’s candidacy could have. Waking the Democratic Party to the true numbers of Progressive voters is one... As Liz Curry notes in her October 25 letter, “Pollina Votes and Dwyer,” “Vermont’s constitu­ tion requires an absolute majority for a candidate to win.” Perhaps the former chairperson of the Vermont Democratic Party forgets that a plu­ rality cannot elect our Governor, or perhaps he wishes to scare the elec­ torate into voting for the Demo­ cratic ticket in order to understate the true numbers of Progressive vot­ ers in Vermont. Steve Howard is telling me not to vote my conscience, that I should move towards the center to avoid a greater evil. This kind of thinking is one of the reasons that so many members of my generation (The

Birth Dirth, a.k.a. Gen-X) refuse to take part in this system. It ...still calls itself a democracy, despite the fact that our choices are only “per­ ceived.” We have no real choice when the only options are Democans and Republi-crats. The lesser of two evils is still an evil. If the Democratic Party wants my vote, they will have to move to the left. Suggesting that / move towards the center is insulting. It flies in the face of what I believe a democracy should be... This brings up an even more interesting question than who we elect... How do we elect them? Secret ballots under the dome in Montpelier seem scary to me. Instant run-offs would provide one vehicle to avoid such situations. Such change will require that Chapter II, Section §47 of the Vermont Constitution be rewritten. Perhaps this is something that the whole spectrum of voters can agree on. In this time of hate and divi­ sion, it is comforting to think that there may be something we can all agree on and work towards, togeth­ er. — Rik Dryfoos South Northfield NADER SPEAKS TO REAL ISSUES Ralph Nader is telling the truth. There is no difference between the politics of Gore or Bush. In the recent debate, Al and George W. were “in agreement” 12 times. So where’s the debate? Nader does not agree with these two candidates and has solid plans that include the pub­ lic interest of our citizenry. Ralph Nader addresses antitrust enforce­ ment, campaign finance reform, utility company overcharging, the energy question, health matters, cor­ porate “welfare,” tax breaks and business crimes and he continues to speak out about the real issues. — Elizabeth Jones Barre LYONS PROFESSIONAL AND EFFECTIVE Ginny Lyons deserves to repre­ sent Chittenden County in the Vermont Senate. She is a well-quali­ fied professional. Ginny, a 30-year Chittenden County resident, served on the Williston School Board and has been a member of the Williston Selectboard for 10 years, the last four years as Chair. In her professional life, Ginny was a Biology Professor at Trinity College for 27 years. Ginny researches the issues, listens to dif­ fering viewpoints with respectful­ ness, considers all aspects of an issue, then strives to build consensus among the Board before reaching a decision. She understands first hand how State-enacted legislation affects the many facets of town and munic­ ipal governments. She comprehends the big picture. Even during stress­ ful times, Ginny maintains her sense of humor. Ginny will continue to work tirelessly for Chittenden County constituents if elected. She is a professional, effective leader who has real Vermont community values. Sound economic develop­ ment and planning policies that protect open space and the environ­ ment are priorities. She will seek modification to Act 60 to support our schools and infrastructure. Ginny wants quality, cost-effec­ tive health care, transportation alter­ natives to relieve congestion, and livable wages for working Vermonters. Please vote for Ginny

Lyons on November 7 for Chittenden County Senator. — Eleanora B. Hood Williston LOOK ‘OVER THE WALL’ When my brother and his wife came to visit me in Dallas, Texas, we attended a block party and AIDS fundraising event in the pri­ marily gay neighborhood of Oak Lawn. Although I had been “out” to my family for 15 years, my brother pulled me aside and told me that it was an opportunity for him to peer “on the other side of the wall,” only to discover that gays and lesbians were no different from himself. I accepted the comment as a gift and silently wondered what I had repre­ sented to him all these years. It seemed as though there was a schism in his mind between me as his brother and me as a gay man. Where was Outright Vermont when I needed them? It seems to me that through education, Outright Vermont inhibits the con­ struction of the “wall” to begin with. Through education, we come to understand the risk that gay youth are at for suicide as a result of the internalization of taunts and defamation of character. Indeed, I’ve seen the hollowed cheeks and eyes of a gay teenager in a permanent vegetative state from a botched sui­ cide attempt. I sat and listened to the parents struggle to understand the dynamics that led to such cir­ cumstances and I wonder today how the detractors of Outright Vermont can justify their opposi­ tion. With continued education, we will overcome the “us” vs. “them” mentality. I challenge those that oppose civil unions and Outright Vermont to peer “over the wall” and recognize our common humanity. — Edward Lawrence Burlington HOWARD DID RIGHT, BUT... Howard Dean did do the right thing in signing the civil-union bill and that is very important to me, personally. I commend him for that and for all the abuse he has taken about that issue. But doing the right thing when put on the spot about a sensitive issue is not the same as being committed to a progressive vision for Vermont. More Vermonters may be employed, but most Vermonters still have to “Moonlight in Vermont or starve.” Some are up against the wall economically, trying to make ends meet working two or three parttime jobs, having trouble finding affordable housing and quality child care and becoming alienated from a corporate economy that Howard Dean represents. Because Dean has failed to make government and the economy work for the interests of all Vermonters, Ruth Dwyer has been able to use the ugly tools of prejudice and hatred to polarize Vermonters. The moderate wing of the Republican party (which has always been the largest wing of the party in Vermont) is supporting Howard Dean. Ruth Dwyer, this year, can’t get more than 35 percent of the vote. Let’s make sure before the next election that we move Vermont toward becoming a three-party state that offers hope, not just anger, to those who are struggling, by sup­ porting Anthony Pollina. — Martha Abbott Underhill NICE TO HAVE CHOICES

At last, real choice for a major office. That’s how I felt listening to Anthony Pollina and the others run­ ning for Governor. However, being told that a vote for Pollina is a vote for a candidate that I truly hope doesn’t make it, left me confused. When I realized, however, that Anthony Pollina stands for every­ thing I do, I came back to the whole purpose of a democratic elec­ tion: to vote for the most qualified person for the office. Pollina has ideas for action on issues of vital importance to me, and I think to most Vermont citizens: saving fami­ ly farms, health care for all, livable wages for work, concerns for the environment, and more — plus ways to achieve these goals. I am further heartened that Pollina is an example of campaign finance reform, the only candidate not beholden to PAC money, no corporate donors and no contribu­ tions over $50. I appreciate his founding Rural Vermont and its actions for family farms. After lis­ tening to the other candidates for Governor, I was greatly impressed with Pollina’s substantive comments, and his temperateness that may help in the reconciliation of opposing factions. In my book Anthony Pollina is too rare a choice to pass up. — Lea Wood Underhill DEAN AND TERRY MAKE A DIFFERENCE It was discouraging to note that Dean Corren and Terry Bouricius will be leaving the Vermont Legislature. They are two of the hardest-working people in Vermont’s Legislature. Their effort on behalf of working men and women and minorities is unparal­ leled and unflinching. Their fellow legislators know it and their con­ stituents know it. Due to their work, the Progressive party is gain­ ing momentum across Vermont. The make-up of the Legislature will have welcome change because of that fact. While Peter Freyne is busy thinking up cute nicknames for their successors, Corren and Bouricius will continue to make a difference in Burlington and Vermont in other ways. — Ross Laffan Rochester NADER LIKE PATRIOTS? I’m sick and tired of people telling me they won’t vote for Ralph Nader because he has no chance of winning. Gore and Bush do, there­ fore they want to vote for the win­ ner. Whenever someone tells me that, I immediately use the analogy of sports and ask: If your moral principle is to always go with the winner, why don’t you discard the Patriots as losers, and change your favorite team to the Rams? It’s what you’re doing in the political arena. This usually provokes an angry response. They firmly inform me that they believe in their Red Sox or Yankees. It’s the team they really support, whether they win the World Series or not. They’re not going to switch who they really like by jumping on the bandwagon of a different team just because they win the Super Bowl. I know Ralph Nader isn’t going to win, but I’m still going to vote for him because deep down I believe he is the best candidate. And if he gets 5 percent of the national vote, federal money will be available for a

He offers sensible positions on edu­ cation funding, living wages, civil rights, the environment, universal health care, property tax reform, family farms, child care, campaign finance reform and other issues that are relevant to all people in the state. As he has shown for the past 20 years working on behalf of farmers, consumers and workers, Pollina is a consensus builder who will not needlessly divide Vermonters the way other politicians have been doing over Act 60 and other issues. Pollina will make state government work for the common good of all Vermonters. By voting for Anthony Pollina, I do not feel in any way that I’m “wasting” my vote or “spoiling” the election; I truly believe that he should be our next governor, and if citizens will vote their consciences, he could indeed be elected. — Ron Miller Charlotte DWYER AND THETFORD VOTES Are you surprised that Ruth Dwyer exploited a neighbors death and distorted the facts surrounding it for political gain, grossly distorted the governor’s record in poll ques­ tions and commercials for political advantage, and invented conversa­ tions and endorsements? Don’t be. Because no one’s surprised here in Ruth’s home area. There’s a rea­ son Ruth got trounced in her own town of Thetford in the 1998 gen­ eral election, and why her generalelection vote percentages in Thetford have gone steadily down­ ward from 51 to 47 to 39 percent over the last three general elec­ tions... It’s never a good sign when a candidate loses big among the vot­ ers who know her best. If they don’t trust here, why should anyone? — Amy Zucker Strafford DWYER IS NO AIKEN A group of Republicans recently declared support for Democrat Howard Dean because they believed that loyalty to the state and concern for its welfare came before blind allegiance to a party gone disas­ trously wrong. In years past, the Republican party was the party of George Aiken, the quintessential Vermonter. On the national scene he was the most respected senator in Washington. Kind, sensitive and always listening, his power lay in gentle methods of persuasion and tolerance for points of view other than his own. Respected by Democrats and Republicans alike, berating, insulting and divisive behavior was as foreign to his demeanor as it is the hallmark of Ruth Dwyer’s... Dwyer would do to Vermont what she did to Thetford upon her arrival from Long Island. Setting neighbor against neighbor, dividing instead of uniting, mouthing intol­ erance, innuendo and fabrications. She would so paralyze the state that

Austin Burlington DEVIANT FACTION OF RELI­ GIOUS LEADERS .....A distasteful example of the reli­ gious elite is responsible for this year’s political upheaval. This deviant faction boasts directors of several supposed-Christian colleges and organizations, philosophers and theologians who strive for social control by denouncing, under the guise of religious freedom, intellect and critical thinking as “Satan’s playground.” They are not disciples of Jesus Christ and have more in common with the creators of an Islamic jihad (Holy War) than Christianity. Selective reading of Scripture is corruption of religion. .. .This faith, exposed in the cur­ rent battle for governmental con­ trol, is merely a cult characterized by irrational fear. Followers are taught to despise insight and openended questions, not entirely differ­ ent than the former Soviet control techniques. We have witnessed the extrem­ ists views of Randall Terry and Nancy Sheltra, Waco’s David Koresh and Aryan Nation’s Richard Butler. Our rights and freedoms cannot be guaranteed if we allow ourselves to be fooled by purveyors of neuroses. Satan lurks in the form of oppression under their fantasies, and this religious elite would prefer that you don’t know how to think for yourself. — Rev. J. William Tucker Rutland NADER EFFECTIVE Ralph Nader will enforce envi­ ronmental protection laws and begin immediately to cooperate with other governments to reverse global warming... Nader has been effective in Washington over the past 35 years. It has been estimated that over 35,000 people are alive today and countless others uninjured because of laws, programs and policies initi­ ated by Nader and organizations that he founded. He knows how to get things done even without the power of public office. Imagine how effective he will be as President. — Michael Palmer Middlebury READY FOR AUDITOR Elizabeth Ready’s decision to put her talents to work as the auditor of accounts for Vermont is a great ben­ efit to all Vermonters. During her 12 years in the Vermont Senate she has shown her commitment to the environment, agriculture, conserva­ tion, natural resources and health .. .She was part of the team that balanced the state’s budget... it took an enormous commitment and untold hours to get the budget under control and she stuck with it until it was done. Elizabeth will make a great audi­ tor of accounts using the same tal­ ents that have made her an out­ standing senator. — Larry Rice Huntington STRONG ON GAY RIGHTS I keep running into people who tell me they really like Anthony Pollina’s positions on the issues fac­ ing Vermonters. Some of these folks are fearful of voting for him for gov­ ernor, though, because they see Dwyer fanning the homophobic flames and believe that the safe course is to vote for Dean, who signed the civil-unions law.

VOTE ★ VOTE ★ VOTE ★

First, let’s be clear about who really supports the rights of gay Vermonters. At the debate at the Paramount Theater in Rutland, Dean’s position boiled down to: “The Supreme Court said we had to do it, the Legislature passed a bill, and I signed it.” Dwyer said that the Legislature should not have passed the civil-unions bill. What did Anthony say? He asked why we had to wait for the court to tell us to do the right thing, something we should have done a long time ago without legal prodding. I defy anyone to claim that Anthony’s position on this mat­ ter is not the most honorable and humane of all the candidates... — Henry Hinton North Middlesex TIRED OF THEIR WHINING I’m tired of Take Back Vermont people whining about being called hateful bigots. OK, maybe they don’t hate me, but they certainly don’t think I’m equal, and that still amounts to prejudice and intoler­ ance — the very definition of big­ otry. For them it’s all about respect­ ing opinions — it’s an opinion that civil unions are bad. I respect their opinion and their right to express it, but for me civil unions are not about opinions. They affect my life. My homosexuality is not an opin­ ion. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have the right to inherit, to adopt, to have their relationships honored. But they are forcing their opinions down my throat when they try to deny me even the fraction of full legal protections civil unions grant — and we’re still deprived of federal benefits and the sacred status of marriage. I’m proud of Vermont, proud of Middlebury, which supported civil unions in the Doyle poll, and proud of my legislators who supported civil unions. I’m impressed with my straight allies in the Legislature who understood that this battle is about rights, particularly the Republicans who put their jobs on the line by supporting civil unions. Please vote to Take Vermont Forward! — Kevin Moss Middlebury NO HEALTH INSURANCE STRESSFUL I’m voting for Anthony Pollina because frankly, the most stressful thing I’ve experienced this past year was not seeing all of those Take Back Vermont signs (and I saw a lot of them — and spoke to their own­ ers—as I canvassed door to door for Anthony all over Central Vermont). The most stressful thing I’ve experi­ enced was going a year without health insurance. Fortunately — thanks to my new job, and to our recent civil union — both my partner and I are covered under my new employer’s plan. But there are 40,000 people in this state who do not have health insurance, and Anthony is the only candidate in this race who is even talking about a plan to insure every single Vermonter. And health care is just one issue — I also agree with Anthony’s call to strengthen our rural economy, his emphasis on affordable housing and accessible higher education, and his strong (and solitary) support of Vermont’s new campaign finance reforms. And most importantly, I like Anthony because he’s the only candidate who does not use fear or rage — two of the ugliest of human emotions — as a campaign tactic. So I’m voting for Anthony. And my question to the progressiveminded people who don’t want to “waste” their votes is: What are you

VOTE ★ VOTE ★ VOTE ★ VOTE ★ Nebraska’s Initiative 416 is already

waiting for? — Cathy Resmer Burlington LIFE AFTER CIVIL UNIONS If civil unions are upheld, these are the consequences for Vermont: Gay and lesbian couples will quiedy affirm their committed relation­ ships, receive benefits approximat­ ing but not equal to those of het­ erosexual couples, and continue their lives as unremarkable tax-pay­ ing citizens. Occasionally they will be reminded that their relationships are now legally recognized, such as when an emergency room physician asks one partner if she is the other partner’s immediate family. Straight couples will quietly affirm their committed relationships, receive ■ benefits taken for granted but supe­ rior to those of homosexual couples, and continue their lives as unre­ markable tax-paying citizens. Occasionally they will be reminded that same-sex relationships are now legally recognized, such as when they open the Sunday newspaper and see a photograph of two women or two men in one corner of the weddings page. If civil unions are repealed, these are the consequences for Vermont: More valuable legislative and court time devoted to an issue that direct­ ly affects less than 10 percent of the population; more divisiveness and attack ads clogging our airwaves; no resolution in the foreseeable future. On November 7, you can decide Vermont’s future, or let others decide for you and suffer the conse­ quences. — Ernest McLeod Middlebury WAKE UP, PROGRESSIVES, PLEASE I am compelled to voice this eleventh-hour election warning to those voters who say they are com­ mitted to social justice but who still think the Progressive party is the right solution at the right moment for our Statehouse. If there is even a slight possibility that a small per­ centage of voters might turn the election in favor of those denounc­ ing civil unions, why court disaster? Even if the civil-union law cannot be easily reversed, a vote for the Republicans would have “Dwyer” political consequences. Progressives are mistaken if they think their votes don’t matter. Like it or not, the ramifications of this election will be felt far beyond Vermont’s borders. Other states and governors are going to take special note of this election’s outcome. They will be trying to assess the political costs to them of supporting similar legislation. Despite having the best of intentions, Anthony Pollina’s Progressives are behaving like opportunists. They are operat­ ing in a state of denial, refusing to acknowledge the price that some Vermont Democrats have already paid to advance civil liberties in this country. There’s no question that a Progressive Party in Montpelier would invigorate state politics, but Pollina surely knows that in politics, timing is everything. Speaking of timing, it wasn’t until 1973 that the fairer sex was permitted to dribble a basketball beyond the half-court line in our schools. As historians have amply shown, the march of history has always been a march of human folly. Its a march that is dig­ nified mainly by the struggle for human liberty. It’s time now for everyone who understands the . importance of this election to deliv­ er a clear message about social progress to the rest of the country.

passed, this constitutional amend­ m ment would deny any legal recogni­ tion for domestic partnerships. Conservative leaders in Nebraska _ are defending the initiative as a nec­ essary response to Vermont’s historic m legislation. * Although the governor is down­ playing it for smart political reasons, this election is a single-issue elec­ tion. It’s an opportunity for each of us to show the country where we stand on human rights. We should be proud of our democratic leaders and remain resolute in our opposi­ m tion to those, both in and outside the state, whose ideas represent a retrograde step in history. < — Bill Dodge o Burlington POLLINA LIKE SANDERS Vermonters have been very for­ tunate to benefit from the inde­ pendent politics of Congressman Bernie Sanders for the past 10 years. We know that Bernie does not do politics as usual — and that his independence from the two big money-dominated parties allows him to fight for working people and basic issues of fairness. We now have the opportunity to elect a gov­ ernor who, much like Bernie Sanders (and in fact who worked for Congressman Sanders for five years), has worked his entire adult life fighting for family farmers, working people and the environment. Anthony Pollina is a man of great talent who is motivated by his commitment to social justice. He is the only serious candidate for governor who takes no PAC money or out-of-state money. He led the suecessful fight for the most far-reach­ ing campaign finance law in the country. He was instrumental in the creation of the Northeast Dairy Compact, the most important dairy farm legislation in decades. And he led the effort (scutded by the phar­ maceutical industry) in Montpelier to lower the cost of prescription drugs. Finally a governor’s race where we don’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils. As Anthony says, vote your hopes, not your fears. — Philip Fiermonte Burlington Fiermonte serves on the Burlington City Council and wasformerly on the staffo f Congressman Bernie Sanders. WORSE THAN WASTED VOTE A vote for Anthony Pollina or Ralph Nader is not a “wasted vote,” it is worse. Ironically, it really does help elect the candidate the progres­ sive voter wants least. Both races are too close, and even 2 percent or 3 percent or perhaps as little as 1 per­ cent, for a third-party candidate could change the outcome. The governor’s race could go to the Legislature, where a new General Assembly, possibly one with a Republican majority, could elect Ruth Dwyer, even if she finish­ es behind Howard Dean in November.

cer, won Margaret Edson the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

entirety. But all is not lost. The rise of the alternative Fringe Festival has kept our native tongue wagging on northern stages. The 1999 forma­ tion of the Montreal English Critics Circle, which confers annual awards for Anglophone theater, has also helped. The Centaur Theatre and The Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts have survived and continue to dominate the English-language scene in Montreal. They tend to take fewer risks now, according to critics, but still draw audiences. Both are providing venues for new writers, and even supporting cross­ over theater — that is, English translations of Francophone hits. The Centaur, housed in the for­ mer Montreal Stock Exchange on Rue St-Fran90is in Old Montreal, was founded in 1969 and is the city’s undisputed center for Anglophone drama. Its productions tend to be mainstream and interna­ tional, showcasing playwrights such as Arthur Miller, Berthold Brecht, Harold Pinter and Athol Fugard. The Centaur hit a rough patch in the late ’80s, because of declines in audience as well as in govern­ ment support. But a revamped mis­ sion, the addition of a second per­

formance space, a new artistic director and fringier offerings have broadened its audience beyond the blue-haired — and often bluestockinged — Westmount crowd. For example, two years after the Broadway opening of Angels in America, it played the Centaur to grateful audiences. The Saidye Bronfman, a pri­ vately supported performing and visual arts center, boasts the 360seat Leanor and Alvin Segal Theatre. It is also home to a Yiddish Theatre troupe that is in permanent residence — the only one of its kind on the continent. Drawing crowds both at home and on tour abroad, the orthodox ensemble offers two supertided pro­ ductions each year, which makes them accessible to both Frenchand English-speaking audiences. The Saidye Bronfman has also been building bridges between the Francophone and Anglophone communities by staging English translations of recent hit French plays. For example, in 1999 Artistic Director Bryna Wasserman invited Theatre de Rideau Vert, a leading Francophone troupe, to present one of their plays at the Bronfman. It was the first time the 51-year-old

troupe had ever performed in English. Noting politics should not get in the way of art, Wasserman told CBC Radio that Anglophones have only recently been willing to take in a production that made its reputation in a Francophone the­ ater. The offerings at both houses this season run the gamut, from Oliver to a Jewish Three Penny Opera, with lots of drama and com­ edy in between. The season sched­ ule follows:

• Centaur Theatre 453 St Frangois-Xavier Old Montreal Box office: (514) 288-3161 Driving Miss Daisy: October 26 December 22, 2000 An Anglophone production in the world’s second-largest Francophone city, about a white Southern dowager and her black chauffeur. Gotta love it. Wit: January 23 - February 19, 2001 This story of a professor of romantic literature, who uses the poetry of John Donne to batde the physicians trying to treat her can­

The Weir: February 20 - April 1, . 2001 r, The young Irish playwright Conor McPherson exploded on the Broadway scene last year with this play. Regulars at a pub trade ghost stories and try to impress a pretty newcomer, but she has her own haunting story to tell; Oliver: March 27 - April 22, 2001 The classic musical by Lionel Bart. Bet they get the Cockney accents right. Trick or Treat: April 24 - June 3, 2001 This is the English-language premiere of the play by Jean Marc Dalpe, for which he won the 1999 Governor General’s Award, which is kind of the Canadian equivalent of a Pulitzer. It takes place in the meaner, darker side of Montreal, where teenagers buy guns to settle accounts.

• Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts 5170 Chemin de la Cote-Ste-Catherine Tel: (514) 739-2301

.

Undiscovered Country: February 24 - March 25, 2001 Witty and farcical, Arthur Schnitzler’s play is set in pre-World War I Vienna, at the collapse of Austro-Hungarian empire. The English adaptation is by Tom Stoppard. Directed by Bill Glassco, this too is a co-production with the Montreal Young Company. Having Our Say: May 1-26, 2001 Based on the best-selling autobi­ ography by Bessie and Sadie Delany and adapted by Emily Mann, this is the history of a slave family told by two aged sisters in the American South.

Reality Check

1Because Y o u C a r e !

There are many reasons why we as young Americans should vote, but the most important reason is simple — because we care about the issues. This election promises to be the closest since John F.

This is arguably the m ost im portant election in fo r ty y e a rs - a n d it is defi­ n itely the c lo se st Young people can

have an enormous impact on this elec­ tion. Let’s show that we care about: • • • • • •

After the Dance: February 24 March 2 5 ,200T This is the Canadian premiere of Terence Rattigan’s potent Roaring ’20s play, sort of a mix of Noel Coward and F. Scott Fitzgerald, with a dash of Tennessee Williams. Directed by Chris Abraham, its a co-production widi the Montreal Young Company.

The Threepenny Opera: June 6-28, 2001 This is the real McCoy — Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s classic musical in Yiddish, with English supertitles. Directed by Bryna Wasserman, it’s being pre­ sented by the Yiddish Theatre of the Saidye Bronfman Centre. ®

Betrayal: October 31 - November 26, 2000 Written by Harold Pinter and directed by Daniel Brooks, this classic won the Drama Critic’s Award and the London West End

SOUR NOTES Well, H-E-double toothpicks, I’ve gone and got myself in the middle of a tiff, and I don’t like it one bit. Two weeks ago I told you about the opening of a new all-ages, non-smoking, no-alcohol club called Fuel, ostensibly the project of co-partners Kevin Ryan, Mike Smith and Bret Kernoff. Last week I reported that the “partnership” had been “dissolved” by Kernoff — who owns the building at 156 St. Paul where Fuel is located — with considerable rancor and accusations. Both men have made plausible arguments to me on their own behalf, but it may have been premature to take Kernoff’s position at face value as I did last week. Ryan has subsequently given ample justification for his beliefthat he was indeed a partner and was wrongly ousted. This included three weeks’ work get­ ting the club renovated, set up with vendors, equipment and entertainment, for which Ryan says he was paid a total of $200, and Smith only $100. Ryan adds that neither he nor Smith would have worked so hard and long for so little if they were in fact only “subcontractors,” as Kernoff

to Burlington’s Russian Sister

sister! Over in Stowe, tragedy has befallen the Gerhardt Schmidt family: With his wife receiving treatment for cancer, Gerhardt took a tumble from his bicycle that left him paralyzed from the neck down. That’s why the whole town is throwing a benefit con­ cert at the Rusty Nail this Saturday, with Tammy Fletcher and a host of other musiciantypes. The benefit is giving back, too, since a donation enters you in a raffle, and the grand prize is an all-expenses-paid weekend in New York City, with lodging at the Plaza, tickets to a Broadway show and to a New York Rangers game. This generous gift was in turn donated by the Rangers themselves, who, according to Rusty Nail owner Bobby Roberts, apparently do charitable work around spinal injuries. Our sin­ cere condolences to the family, and best wishes for the couple’s recovery.

insists. When Ryan refused to accept terms in Kernoff’s “part­ nership” agreement that he con­ sidered unfair — and changed from his original understanding of their agreement — Kernoff became angry and told him he was finished, Ryan says. Regarding Kernoff’s charge of theft, Ryan claims that a police officer determined that claim to be false. If this is true, it’s a point Kernoff neglected to include. At this point Ryan is launching a legal battle to get his personal possessions out of the club, and to register a countercharge against Kernoff. As with any' story, there are at least two sides to this one, and I think it’s better for a judge, not a journalist, to sort them out. It’s beyond the scope — or interest, frankly — of this column to get involved with a business dispute. I only hope that Fuel won’t run out of gas over it, and that its deejays will pump some muchneeded positive vibrations into the place.

One of Pattons five originals, “Solace” slows down into a pretty, languid ballad, its melancholy enhanced by Mark Lavoie’s Thielemans-esque har­ monica. “Summerhawk” is darker, with a swirling, circular melody that takes full advantage of David Gusakov’s lithe violin. “Hoodoo” has a carefree sound and a sort of shuffly beat, and when Rich Davidian kicks in with the flute, this one sounds like a ’60s movie soundtrack. “Chasin’ a Dream” stands out because it is the only tune here with vocals. Patton instantly recalls Dan Hicks, with his smooth jazzy pop, and three female backups, The Spiders, make it sweet. As for Brazil: Two of the tracks on I.&D present the seductively warm rhythms of samba and choro, and Patton’s choices per­ fectly suit the softer side of the high-voiced mandolin. Patton joins friends Rachel Bissex and Steve Goldberg to open for Levon Helm Thursday at Higher Ground. The trio is joined by New York chanteuse Stephanie Corby for shows Friday at Sweetwaters and Saturday (early) at Red Square. — Pamela Polston M00DCIRCUS, FLYINYOUREYE (self-released CD demo) — I don’t usually review demos, nor am I sure if the three-song moodcircus disc, flyinyoureye, is that or a teaser for a full-length project to come. In either case, though, the Burlington-based jazz sextet offer evidence of their ample talents here, and this mere trio of tunes — two of them originals — leaves me wanting more. Ero Lippold’s “Fly” is an airy, contemporary excursion with a percussive drive and layers of beauty. Robert Keller’s “Stutter Strut” is more subversive. Bouncy and yet vaguely sinister, it sounds like the accompaniment to a particularly demented circus (hence the band name?). Kurt Weill would have loved this. The band then has its way with “From Russia With Love,” giving the old Bond theme a little sass and elegance. Moodcircus goes into the ring this Friday, under the unsuspecting bigtop of City Hall. — Pamela Polston

Fold

ohnson State College art professor Ken Leslie is very interested in cycles. In his exhibit of new works at JSC’s Julian Scott Gallery, “The Theory of Everything,” Leslie s creative organization of accessi­ ble images offers playful proces­ sions that seem to begin and end in the same place. His paintings and folded books, seen in metaphys­ ical shifts of scale and whimsical varieties of perspective, have a Baroque quality. Leslie bends two-dimensional space like a fish-eye lens, and builds largescale pieces out of multiple smaller paintings. Four of the major works in the show describe journeys — through the sky, of cosmology or of the artist himself through time and linear space. “Solstice in Akurey” follows the sun as it never quite sets over a small town in Iceland. Leslie combined 24 watercolor sketches of the sun at various points around the polar horizon into a single, large-scale, circular landscape of time passing on a specific day. The works are pieced together in such a way that the entire “Solstice” can collapse to fit into a handy handmade pouch. Its a clever and convenient design, which allows it to be kept and trans­ ported much more easily than a traditional painting of this size could be. “Getaway” presents a more terrestrial circuit. Again, this large-scale acrylic piece folds down into a more portable size. It consists of squares of canvas that connect with a zipper. Many of Leslie’s works contain cars and highways, and in “Getaway” the road traverses countryside into a cityscape — which resembles the skyline of Boston — and back. The path is organized into a figure eight, made of a circle on the left and a square on the right. Its overall length on the wall is about seven feet, but if the pieces were laid out end to end it would probably be four times that

The title piece of the exhibit is more linear, almost like a story board. Three rows of 11" x 14" acrylic-on-paper paintings are combined to become strips about 20 feet long each. The paintings of “The Theory of Everything” have been made into a book that is also on dis­ play here; the fact that it con­ sists of illustrations may account for some of the roughness in these bright but fairly raw paintings. Leslie’s “theory” is pretty basic: In the beginning there is a ball of stars. It coa-

However, the folding book ver­ sion o f “The Theory of Everything” is quite entertain­ ing, due to its reduced scale and the way its transformation mir­ rors the process illustrated. A far more intimate and substantive piece is Leslies extraordinary “Sky Journal.” Six days a week for an entire year, he painted small, wet-on-wet watercolors of the heavens. They were executed with mas­ terful spontaneity, in a wide array o f blues, grays and streaks o f warmer hues. Leslie also noted date, time and temperature and wrote a few hrief lines about that days “to-do” list. The pieces are organized in seven rows, stretched out like the bellows of an accordion into 15-foot strips. “Sky Journal” is a kind of visual haiku that would make a great book. It illustrates a journey in time rather than space. A collection of architectonic folding books brings the con­ ceptual basis of Leslie’s paintings entirely into three-dimensional space. Like pop-up childrens books, these are con­ structed from intricate folds that bring the images off the page upon opening, but returns them to flatness when closed. T hat action is also a kind of cycle, echoing the motion of tides or the folding and unfold­ ing of diurnal flowers such as the morning glory. Leslies book images include brick-building

The germs spread and are presented at the atomic and subatomic levels, finally returning to the basic ball of stars. Like, what if atoms are really tiny solar systems and the big bang was really a sneeze? “Hey, man, yer freakin’ me out,” is the usual answer to that not-too-sophisticated revelation.

corners in two-point perspective as well as trees and landscapes. The oroboros, an archetypal symbol o f a snake swallowing its tail, represents unity and the persistence o f cyclical forces. Each o f Leslies images is a con­ temporary oroboros, presenting facets of the continuum that is existence. This “Theory of Everything” is both as old and new as the passage o f time and space. ®

John Travolta is on the longest losing streak of his life. Consider the duds the highly paid thespian has put out over the past few years: Broken Arrow, M ad City, White M ans Burden, The General’s Daughter, which was sleazy borderline porn, and Battlefield Earth, which was sim­ ply the worst motion picture ever made. In the wake of each new disappointment, Travolta fans place their hopes on his next release. Well, if you’re one of them and you had money on this one ending his steep artistic nosedive, I am sorry to say you lost. Lucky Numbers teams Travolta with director Nora Ephron for a second time. Together the two made the relatively harm­ less 1996 angel movie Michael. The pairing proves a less-thanwinning combination this time around, with Ephron presiding over a dumb, endlessly lumber­ ing black comedy and her star unable to conjure the kind of personal magic required to pro­ vide any level of salvation. He’s a smarmy Pennsylvania weatherman and local celebrity. He’s got a big, tacky house, a Jag and a reserved parking space “at the trendiest bistro in town.” It’s a Denny’s. Badaboom. You know you’re in trouble when a film leads off with a joke that lame. There’s only one way to go from there. As it turns out, the character also has money problems. He’s opened a snowmobile dealership, it’s winter and guess what — it won’t snow. Get it? He’s a weath­ erman and he’s having problems related to the weather. Badaboom. Going down? Meanwhile, Lisa Kudrow is cast as a bimbo who announces

the winning lottery numbers for Travolta’s station. She’s also hav­ ing an affair with both Travolta and his boss, the station manag­ er, played by Ed O ’Neill. When Travolta’s cash flow gets desperate, he proposes to Kudrow that they rig the lottery results and, to his astonishment, she agrees wholeheartedly. As it turns out, she’s a bimbo with a heart of black ice and, the fur­ ther their plans go awry, the colder and more cut-throat she becomes. Speaking of things going awry, in making this film, almost nothing was done right. The script, by former David Letterman writer Adam Resnick,

zany but, in the hands of a direc­ tor as unsuited to the material as Ephron is, the duo’s misadven­ tures come off as more madden­ ing than madcap. There are points in Lucky Numbers where the filmmaking is so inept that new characters are introduced even though it seems there is no point in introducing them. Director, author and TV host Michael Moore shows up as a pathetic caricature of a poor lonely soul, a bloated, asthmatic self-abuser, but at least the plot requires his presence. Bill Pullman pops up completely out of nowhere toward the end in the role of a lazy, cynical cop. He hangs around and becomes

is a mean-spirited amalgam of smug observations, too-easy pot shots and tired stereotypes. The attitude both director and writer display toward the film’s charac­ ters is a patronizing and sour one. The story itself is a sleepily contrived freight train of a fic­ tion, just one colorless sequence hitched to the next without much point or humor. My guess is, the whole one-thing-afteranother-goes-wrong-for-thesmall-time-crooks business was intended to impress viewers as

entangled in the storyline, but never really finds his place amid the forced brouhaha. He’s just there. God knows why. Much like Travolta. Why does he make these movies? Doesn’t he have something better to do? Is he trying to trash his career just so he can make anoth­ er comeback? W ho can say? One thing seems certain, though: 1 he odds that you will feel lucky after shelling out for this little number are extremely long indeed. ®

Inside Track continued from page 5a

But with all that money, youd think Pollyanna could come up with better TV spots, eh? Tony the Prog’s television ads look like they were made for public-access TV — poor quality stuff, and the candi­ date’s a lousy actor. If the dude is going to feed at the public trough, he ought to at least produce better TV ads. Is that too much to ask? So far, Tony the Prog has been stuck at 6 percent in the polls. Even with the big handout, Pollina’s still a 6-percenter. The fact is, even without the $265,000 in public financing, Pollyanna would have been a 6-percenter. What does that tell you? Bernie Endorses Prog Candidates! — Remember when

Congressman Bernie Sanders explained in a huff why he wasn’t endorsing Anthony Pollina in the governor’s race? A lot of people fig­ ured it was a lead-pipe cinch that the “Father, of the Progressive Movement” in Vermont would put his political clout behind his for­ mer loyal aide. Tony the Prog. But, noooo! Ol’ Bernardo switched on his paranoia big-time, as he clumsily explained he was focused on all the important stuff he does on Capitol Hill and just didn’t have time to get involved in state politics. Sorry, Anthony. It was and is a very sore subject with our congressman. Sources say he recently blew up at a meeting with the beloved editorial board at the Free Press when pressed on it. Uttered an all-Amercian expletive and bolted, we’re told. However, it turns out Mr. Sanders is endorsing several Progressive party candidates after all, only Anthony’s not among them. OF Bernardo has officially endorsed Carina Driscoll, his cam­ paign coordinator and step-daugh­ ter, who is running for the legisla­ tive seat being vacated by Rep. Terrill Bouricius. Sanders’ endorsement is published in her candidate handout. And Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman tells Seven Days the congressman has endorsed him and his running-mate, Bob KiSS. In fact, a check of Sanders’ cam­ paign finance reports indicates he has made financial contributions to several other Prog Party candidates — but not Pollina. Maybe it’s an Italian thing, eh? Ah, fugeddaboutit! By the way, Bernie’s reputation as the pharmaceutical industry’s Public Enemy #1 crossed the Atlantic Ocean Sunday. Vermont’s congressman made the Sunday Times of London. The paper dubbed him the “Godfather” of the movement to lower drug prices. The Times reported Bernie has bought his prescription drugs in Canada for years. Not surprised. Sanders has a well-established record for being real cheap, er, frugal. Dubie Shows His Stripes! — The rookie Republican running for Gov-Lite against Democrat Doug Racine continues to pull tricks he’d never dare try in a cockpit. Brian Dubie, American Airlines pilot, caught a little turbulence this week after pulling another fast one. You, see, Dubie’s a real cutie. In his TV ad he’s using letters of recom­ mendation he received a couple


years ago to boost his credibility. The letters were written by two Democrats, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy and Gov. Howard Dean. St. Patrick and Ho-Ho were just try­ ing to help a constituent get into a program at Harvard. But DoobieDoobie-Do is now twisting their kindness to boost his candidacy. Leahy and Dean have justifiably cried “foul!” Mr. Dubie told the Associated Press he was just “trying to show people what kind of person Brian Dubie is.” Congratulations, Brian. You have! Keep Those Hits Coming — Ruth Dwyer was at Winooski’s Champlain Mill Tuesday morning for an appearance on WKDR’s “Mark Johnson Show.” Ruthless was definitely in “bunker mentali­ ty” mode, blaming the Vermont press for sticking it to her again and again. She sure sounded like a loser, as in — “The End is Near!” Poor Ruth. Why can’t people just accept the Fairy Godmother image she projects in her TV spots and forget about reality? She loves animals and even taught a disabled kid to ride a horse. I mean, what more could we want in a governor? The program had just conclud­ ed when yours truly got a call from Marie Druet, a senior citizen who told us she was “lucky to be alive.” Ms. Druet explained to us she was pulling her laundry basket in front of the Champlain Mill en route that morning to Greer’s Laundromat when she was almost run down by a speeding car pulling into the parking lot. Guess who? Yep. There was the familiar face of Ruthless Ruth in the front seat, said Marie. An unidentified male was behind the wheel. The car stopped, said Druet, then just sped away. No apology. “They just don’t care about the poor people,” said Marie. Turns out Dwyer’s campaign manager, Kathie Summers, was two cars back. The near miss with the little old lady, she told Seven Days, did happen. But, said Summers, “It was not intentional.” What a relief. Druet told us she’ll be voting for Dean. Missing in Action? — For the past decade, Karen Baines has been a very familiar face on the local bar scene. Ms. Baines is an inspector for the Department of Liquor Control. And she’s known to be a very aggressive, go-by-the-rule-book enforcer of state laws that pertain to the selling and drinking of our number-one legal dangerous drug — alcohol. According to a reliable source, Inspector Baines was relieved of her duties last week for reasons unknown at this time. On Monday, we e-mailed Liquor Control Commissioner Michael J. Hogan and asked, had Inspector Baines, in fact, been sacked? The Commish declined to dis­ cuss the matter. In reply, he wrote, I don’t comment on personnel matters.” On Tuesday, when we called the department’s enforcement division and asked for Inspector Baines, we were informed she is “on leave.” We Were told “on leave” is different than “on vacation.” No further ^formation was-available. ®

It may be time for James Brown to turn over that “hardest working man in showbusiness” title. It’s Maynard Ferguson who’s got a brand new bag and a brand new group of backup m usicians, too. At 70, the Hall of Fame trumpeter shows no sign of retiring. In fact, the famously flashy jazzm an is surrounding himself with some of hottest young talent around. He brings his brand new 10piece Big Bop Nouveau Band to the area this w eek­ end. Don’t blow a rare opportunity to catch a cool old cat in action.

Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arive! The New Beaujolais Has Arrived!” One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun. wine works invites you to celebrate the uncorking of Beaujolais Nouveau 200 0.

S U N R IS E , S U N S E T beaujolais Nouveau began as a local phe­ nomenon in the local bars cafes and ® bistros of Beaujolais and Lyons. Each fall the new Beaujolais would arrive with much fanfare. In pitchers filled from the growers’ barrels, wine was drunk by an eager population. the uncorking begins at io:ooam. tastings continue throughout the day. food and live music begin at 5:30pm.

W O R L D W ID E C E L E B R A T IO N part from the fanfare, what makes Beaujolais Nouveau so popular? Simply put, Beaujolais Nouveau is as about as close to white wine as a red wine can get due to the way it is made. It tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued. join the thousands of wine drinkers around the world, celebrating the millennium’s harvest on november 16

SEVEN DAYS

November 2 - 8 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In her analysis o f George W. Bush’s horoscope (www.ErinSullivan.com/bush.htm), astrologer Erin Sullivan warns that the presidential hopeful “is dangerously easily deceived and capable himself o f deception.” Why? “His core life-force is not grounded in tangibles,” Sullivan asserts, “but in theoretical potentials, and thus he can succumb to inflated self-importance. Conversely, he could lay his trust in aides who enact his dark side for him, and he would not know this until too late.” Having studied Bush’s chart myself, I concur with this assessment. Closer to home, Aries, I worry that you’re temporarily susceptible to the same weaknesses Bush is permanently hobbled by. Here’s a powerful antidote: As you dive ever deeper into your life’s big mysteries, stay in intimate contact with your dark side. That way it’ll never sneak up from behind and bite you in the ass.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): You probably think you won’t get any taller than you are now. But if there were ever going to be a time in your adult life when you added a half-inch or more to your height, it would be in the coming weeks. “Growth spurt” is too mild a term to use in describing the explosive blooming that’s breaking out in you. At the very least, I expect your fingernails, toenails, hair and brain cells to sprout at a rate far exceeding your norm. (Wouldn’t it be amazing if your breasts or penis bur­ geoned as well?) D on’t be surprised if you wake up in the middle o f the night totally turned on, fresh from a dream o f making love in a tulip gar­ den overrun with rabbits. " c

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): This Halloween, I devised a Siamesetwin costume for myself. I was hiphop performer Eminem joined at the hip with presidential candidate George W. Bush. In other words, I

impersonated the two mischief-mak­ ers whose influence I am most appalled by. It was my attempt to bet­ ter understand my enemies and diminish the stranglehold they’ve had on my imagination. The masquerade season is over, Gemini, so you can’t borrow my approach in dealing with your own adversaries. But I suggest you dream up an equally creative way to accomplish the same goal.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): My horoscope has eerie resemblances to that o f would-be king George W. Bush. We both have Sun in Cancer, M oon and Neptune in Libra, Jupiter trine Uranus and Sun square Neptune. I have to say, though, that there are few people on the planet with whom I feel less resonance. My values are the opposite o f his! So does this mean astrology is a crock? Or that I possess nasty qualities I attribute to Bush, but am in denial about it? I prefer to believe that in my many years o f writing this column, I’ve learned to empathize deeply with all the signs. This in turn inspires me to escape the confinements o f my karmic blueprint and take on qualities from the entire range o f zodiacal influences. It so happens, my fellow Crab, that this is a perfect astrological time for you to try this trick at home. I dare you to read and heed all 12 horoscopes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The cur­ rent planetary rhythms are conducive to any efforts you make to deepen your roots or bolster your foundations or reinvigorate traditions that have nourished you. O n the other hand, the heavenly bodies also seem to be in favor o f you and your buddies fling­ ing slices o f pizza like Frisbees across the living room and staging contests to see who can jump o ff the couch the furthest and staying up all night giv­

ing each other past-life readings. I know these two sets o f advice might at first seem contradictory, but I‘ assure you they’re not.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pop Quiz! 1) Might there be a chance in hell o f you drumming up some help in improving your ability to commu­ nicate? 2) Can you picture yourself picking up the phone and calling someone you swore you’d never call until hell froze over? 3) Would you consider summoning the chutzpah to speak your mind about subjects you’ve been told to shut the hell up about? (Correct answers: 1. Hell, yes. 2. Hell, yes. 3. Hell, yes.)

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Most biologists say that human beings are causing the largest mass extinction o f life on Earth since the demise o f the dinosaurs. I am not making this up, as humorist Dave Barry might say. This is the tragic conclusion o f a poll o f the American Institute o f Biological Sciences, a professional society o f 5000 scientists. I don’t need any other reason to vote for Al Gore. He’s no environmental saint, but he’ll most certainly work harder to staunch the killing than George Bush. Forgive me if it seems I’m hijacking your horo­ scope to make a bald political state­ ment, but here’s my rationale: The time is right for you to meditate on the impact the mass extinction will have on your personal life during the next 30 years — and what you should do about it. For lots more info, refer to www.well.com/user/davidu/extinction.html.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I confess I’m more allergic to George W. Bush than I’m attracted to Al Gore. Bush’s welfare for the rich and pathological apathy about the envi­

ronment scare the breath out o f me, while Gore’s modest visions for improving education and redistribut­ ing wealth stir only mild enthusiasm. When I vote for Gore, I’ll feel ashamed to be feeding primarily on negative motivations. Please, Scorpio, avoid following my example (unless you’re an American voter with similar feelings about Bush, in which case I urge you to be like me in that one way). As much as possible, find a way to be moved by joy, not anger; by excitement, not revenge or disgust; by love o f beau­ ty, not revulsion for ugliness.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22Dec. 21): I’m a big fan o f the philoso­ phy summed up by the adage “Follow your bliss.” All my oracles are ground­ ed in my longing for you to figure out what you love to do and then make it the centerpiece o f your life. Yet now and then circumstances demand that I make exceptions to this rule. For instance, in this presidential election, my heart is with Ralph Nader, but my fear o f George W. Bush’s plutocratic, ecocidal sweet talk compels me to vote for Al Gore. Here’s another example: The best way to nurture your long-term dreams at this particu­ lar moment is to force yourself to do the very things that are most difficult for you to do.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Life may be like a Britney Spears rock video this week — sexy in a mechanical kind o f way. This is especially likely if you’ve been treating yourself like a machine. The natural overcompensation for robotic over­ work, you see, is robotic hedonism. O n the other hand, if you’ve been respecting your own limits and hold­ ing your own hand, life may well be like an Anai's N in diary — sexy in a moist, intricate, smart kind o f way.

(Jan. 20 Feb. 18): Journalism professor odd Gitlin spoke for me as he assessed George W. Bush’s per­ formance in the last presidential debate. “There are a substantial num­ ber o f Americans who want their pres­ ident stupid,” Gitlin wrote in Salon.com. “If there are enough o f those people, then Bush won this debate by losing it, by demonstrating his hapless incompetence and almost daffy incapacity.” I’d add that Bush’s ascendancy to prominence is but one symptom o f a culture-wide hunger for mediocrity. Too many o f us feel safe and comfortable when surrounded by people who don’t challenge us. Fortunately for you Aquarians, how­ ever, it’s a perfect time to weed out bush-league influences. The cosmos is conspiring to help you bring more excellence and feisty inspiration into your life.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): What do Socrates, Lao-Tse, Buddha, Christ and you all have in common? Like them, you’re now blessed with an unsettling talent for asking questions no one else has the nerve to. Like you, they probably wouldn’t have been afraid to don a giant lobster suit if it helped them prove a point about principled behavior. Like you, they could have been named Sexiest Thinker Alive. And finally, Pisces, there’s no doubt what decision you and they would make if pushed to choose between just following tradi­ tion and fighting for a beautiful truth. ®

Dear Lola, THANKJCU ter the advice — i t ’d pertinent, common-sense and car­ ing. Sometimes the right idea is right in front of us. Thanks for ”un­ blinding” me. Under a Rock in Riptcn Dear Under a Rock, Thank you for your letter. We "love coun­ selors '” dispense cur seeds of wisdom, but sel­ dom learn whether they fall into receptive soil, or are simply washed away with the rains of intran­ sigence. As I recall, your question was about how to meet other gay men. and my answer — the result of careful consul­ tations with local experts — listed specific events where other gay men were likely to be found. Good luck with your quest. And do let us know how it goes. We’re all rooting for you. As for the rest of you who might also be feeling socially isolated, why not come cut from under your own rocks? election day is less than one week away. Voting won’t necessarily get you a date. But if enough of' us vote the right way, we can help keep Vermont a caring, common-sense place where love is pos­ sible for everyone. Love, M
