Shorn Again Drawing the bikini line at . . . Brazil

efore the Girl from Ipanema went walking, she undoubtedly went waxing. For generations, most Brazilian women have been removing all the hair from their bodies before stepping onto a STORY beach, or into a bedroom. NANCY Nearly two decades ago, seven STEARNS Brazilian sisters — Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, BERCAW Janea, Jussara, Juracy and Judseia — sought to challenge pubic opinion in IMAGE New York City with the J. Sisters STEFAN International Salon. Since then, I hear, a BUMBECK surprisingly large number of labias majora in Manhattan have gone Brazilian. These days, even the girls from Burlington are getting waxed before stepping out. Shocked? If you’re over 40 and married with children, like me, you might wonder how this trend passed you by — or how it even came to pass in the first place. But if you’re a college-age woman, you might wonder why anyone would hedge on the issue. The Amazons of Greek mythology cut off their right breasts to better shoot bows and arrows — to be more like men. But why are modern women cutting off their pubic hair? To be more like little girls? Perhaps our privates have just gone public — courtesy of nude beaches, the

porn industry and the World Wide Web — posits Betty Dodson, who produces an instructional video called Viva La Vulva: Women’s Sex Organs Revealed that shows women how to get in touch — literally — with their feminine side. Feminist playwright Eve Ensler doesn’t split hairs on the subject in The Vagina Monologues. “I felt little when my hair was gone down there, and I couldn’t help talking in a baby voice,” says the character who shaves it all off to try to save her marriage. Ultimately, Ensler delivers an ultimatum for both sexes: “You can’t love a vagina unless you love hair.” I could be making a mountain out of a mons venus, but the ambush began long before the Brazilians began wearing thongs. History had depicted middle-aged women sans pubes since the Middle Ages. The ancient Greek statue Venus de Milo is not only short on arms; there seems to be no mound of pubic hair peeping from her low-slung drape. “The Birth of Venus,” painted by Botticelli in the late 1400s, is nearly as naked as the day she was born. And the hairline of “The Venus of Urbino,” painted by Titian a century later, recedes as much as she reclines.

All this Venus envy probably left gentlemen with the wrong impression. In fact, John Ruskin, the foremost art critic of the Victorian era, never consummated his marriage after seeing his wife’s “beard.” When they divorced, he became engaged to a teenage girl. Meanwhile, his divorcée took up with his protégé and had eight children. What is the raison d’être of pubic hair, anyway? The prevailing wisdom is that it retains the musky pheromones once considered a mighty aphrodisiac. Napoleon Bonaparte was said to have been so fond of the smell that he asked Josephine not to bathe for two weeks before he came home from his military missions. But now that women have other ways to attract mates — scintillating minds as well as scented bodies — pubes have probably reached the end of their useful life, like tonsils. To me, the new era began when Gwyneth Paltrow credited the J. Sisters Salon with “changing her life.” Maybe real women don’t wear fur anymore. The naked models in the PETA ads certainly aren’t sporting any kind of pelts at all. I asked my cousin, Dr. Sandra Langley, a social-science researcher in Manhattan, if my feminist

Now that women have other ways to attract mates, pubes have probably reached the end of their useful life, like tonsils.

roots were holding me down. “This is an old argument, right? If we want to be attractive, are we betraying feminism?” she responds. “If men are telling us that pubic hair is gross or too mature, well that’s one issue,” Langley explains. “But I think of it more in terms of personal preference, like how we choose to have our hair cut, toes done, jeans fit. I would feel gross if I never washed my hair. I don’t wash it for the benefit of the male establishment.” One of my lesbian friends actually has a philosophy along these lines. “Groom unto others as you would have them groom unto you,” is her motto, adding that you don’t have to get a Brazilian to be well groomed. She and her girlfriend keep what they call “the short cut,” trimmed but not down to the skin. They talked about grooming preferences while they were courting to be sure they were thinking along the same hairlines. Realizing that my line of thinking needed as much updating as my tan line, I decided to call a highly recommended, full-service grooming emporium in Burlington. I warned the proprietress, Cynthea Wight Hausman, that I was new to Brazilians, in both theory and practice. But I failed to mention that I hoped Cynthea’s Spa could do for me what the J. Sisters had done for Gwyneth. When I opened the door, I knew immediately that I was in the right place for a transformation. The giant painting of a budding flower — à la Georgia O’Keeffe — hanging over the cozy pink sofa assured me that women were celebrated here. When Hausman greeted me with a hug, I knew I was in the right hands as well. Hausman doesn’t look much older than the college-aged crowd she primarily serves, although she seems much wiser. I took comfort in her maturity. She is a former athlete and the mother of a 10-month-old boy, and she holds a Master’s degree in education from St. Michael’s College. She learned the fine art of Brazilian waxing as an apprentice in Park City, Utah, the winter playground of the rich, famous and discerning. Since opening her doors here in 2004, she told me, she’s served 20 to 25 women every week. Suitably impressed by this background, I asked Hausman about my foremost concern: pain. I didn’t care anymore if waxing meant feminism is waning. I just wanted to know how much it would hurt. “Everyone is different,” she replied. Her next comment addressed my previous concerns as well. “Being a woman means you have control over your hair.” Hausman credits massage-therapy training for helping her read the needs of each individual woman. She did seem to know that I wanted to be informed up front and distracted when she got down to business. “You can be nude, wear a disposable bikini bottom or your own panties,” she said. “It’s all fine with me. But if you want to leave a little bit, then I recommend the disposable, because it works as a guide for me.” I told her I wanted to leave what folks in Hollywood call a “landing

strip.” Not that I was expecting a surge in arrivals. Hausman gave me a few minutes to shed my clothes and don my disposable thong. As I lay on the table, I tried to think about all the good times my pubes and I have shared. I couldn’t. When she returned, Hausman was sporting a pair of surgical gloves and holding a pair of scissors. To get the best results, she explained, hair must be trimmed back prior to waxing. While she snipped away, we chatted away. Turns out she was once a champion bobsledder with a shot at the Olympic Trials. I told her I’d been a swimmer with the same glory days. Before I knew it, she’d pasted warm wax on my genitals and stripped one part of my pudendum bare. Hausman deftly kept up the conversation along with her nimble work. As we talked about our children, I had to remind myself that the person with whom I was swapping daycare stories was ripping the hair out of my labia. As for the pain, it was nothing compared to being in labor for hours or, for that matter, training for an athletic competition. Waxing stings briefly then passes completely. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes, including the time needed to tweeze out any stragglers. My only twinge came after Hausman left the room. Not from delayed discomfort, but the sudden glare of my own flesh. I had forgotten what I looked like under all that hair. Now deforested, I could see what everyone was talking about. It’s not the hair that makes us female. And what about male waxing? Are guys lining up to remove the hair south of their borders? Not at Cynthea’s Spa, where the Brazilian is the house specialty. And, as Hausman explained, the term “Brazilian” applies exclusively to women. I asked a gay male friend what he knew of these matters. “Gay men of all ages, sizes and types are in a veritable craze of ‘shaving’ their body hair,” he reported, noting that on the occasion of his 40th birthday he’d had every hair removed by a Tunisian waxer in Paris. “They want smooth chests and backs, and it’s a sure sign that you’re out of the loop if you have pubic hair at all — especially, within that category, any hair on the balls.” Somehow, I failed to find this shocking. Not anymore. In fact, when people ask me how I feel about the Brazilian now, I tell them I have one last thing to say on the subject. It’s growing on me. m

I adore to have my boyfriend come on my breasts, then to use it as a lubricant whilst I bring myself to orgasm.

The best idea is to squeeze three female roommates and two male friends into a 3/4 shower after skinny-dipping . . . and make out.

I fantasize about having sex in an elevator. The strangest part of all of this? Iâ€™m claustrophobic and in reality probably couldnâ€™t handle being stuck in an elevator that wasnâ€™t moving!

I can barely stand having sex with my boyfriend anymore; I feel so guilty because I canâ€™t keep from fantasizing.

Having fantasies like this is the only way I can come with him. I havenâ€™t been able to tell him about these fantasies, I am too embarrassed.

Soon my fingers found themselves under her suit and between her labia.

With every female interaction that I have, young and old, the waitress, clients, friends, passersby on the street, my glance darts north and then back again. No one is the wiser.

DELIA D. IMAGE

JO SCOTT

onday, December 6, 7:14 a.m. Happy birthday to me. It’s been a good year. I’m feeling feisty and go-getting in that über rriot-babe sort of way. I’ve been published, promoted, positively reviewed and even satirized. Best of all, I lost 12 pounds from sheer self-delight. Found self-esteem and lost my ass all at the same time. So. I have a plan. Well, actually, I have a flaw. And because I have this flaw, I have a plan. At long last, I am going to learn to Swallow. Don’t ask me why, but I’ve always been a little shy and nervous talking with the Big Boy Downstairs. No, that’s a lie. I’m not shy. I just don’t like it; I have an insuppressibly strong gag reflex, I’ve never had anyone, er, arrive in my mouth, and the idea of swallowing any orgasmic effluvia is a big, incomprehensible eew. Also, while I don’t have a terribly refined sense of smell, I do have a strong aversion to a few specific odors: cigarette smoke, cooked mushrooms, wet dogs, and . . . groin. So on the Head Front, we’re talking three problems in one. And while I know I don’t have to swallow, I figure as long as I’m climbing the learning curve I might as well go for the gusto. Spitting is so unladylike. 10:43 a.m. I’ve been emailing friends all morning asking for help, and so far responses have included:

Abby: Just keep it in your mouth, look up, raise your finger and say, “Mmmmmm-mmm.” And then run run run to the bathroom. Gioia: Why don’t you like swallowing? Semen is very nourishing. Did you know it contains the most highly digestible form of zinc?

“Princess, don’t lie to Dr. Daddy. If you don’t want it, you’re afraid of it. If you liked it, you wouldn’t fear it.” “Tav, this is really sketchy science.” “Welcome to the frontier. So look, you can learn to love anything. This’ll be fun. Trust me.” He opens the hatbox, and pulls out a CD and a bottle of oil. “Tonight, run a hot bath and add a

I jump out of the tub, smear the patchouli oil on my face, grab a fresh brat and the pastry bag, slap the power button, and lie down on the dolly. These women don’t seem to understand that I’m dealing with something like a severe handicap gene-spliced to a crippling phobia. I need professional help. 1:32 p.m. My friend Tav, an aroma-hypnotherapist with a specialty in sexual dilemmas, shows up at my door with a pink-striped hatbox. “I developed this kit for another client. We’ll just reprogram your fears. Happy fucking birthday, darling.” “Thanks. And I’m not afraid!”

couple drops of this. It’s patchouli oil blended with a few secret ingredients to smell like warm, yummy crotch.” “Eew.” “No, just wait. Remember, only a couple drops. You won’t consciously smell it, so it’ll get in under your radar. Start playing the CD when you climb in, and follow the instructions. Oh, and you’ll also need these.” Out of the hatbox comes a 6-pack of jumbo bratwurst, a cooking thermometer, a quilted, yellow tea towel embroidered with a naked, erect Victorian-era

bath, heat this in a double boiler to exactly 105 degrees, and then wrap it in the tea towel. By the time you need it, it’ll be down to 98.6.” He looks so pleased with himself. “I must fly. I have a 3:30 rubber fetishist who’s allergic to Latex. Just remember, darling, we shall overcome. Ciao!” 6:45 pm. There’s a knock at the door, which I open, revealing Dina and her friend Haley. They’re holding an extremely large package. Dina and

Haley create special effects for films. But they’ve also recently branched out into novelties, and I have a feeling that what they’re toting is very, very novel. “Happy birthday, hottie!” yells Dina. “Forget about the head quest! Have we got something for you!” I rip off the paper, revealing two boards bolted in the shape of an L — long board on the bottom, short one sticking up in the air, topped by a giant, green power button. Sitting on the bottom board is a wheeled dolly, like what mechanics use to scoot under cars. Attached to a track on the vertical board, about 6 inches from the bottom, is a kind of large, brightpurple hand, flanked by stirrups. Everything is covered in red velvet. “Delia,” says Dina proudly, “I’d like you to meet The Hand.” “Hi.” “This is an animatronic hand. It can move all the ways a regular hand can move, it can go up and down on its track, and it rotates 360 degrees on a swiveling ‘wrist.’ Also, it has a little hydraulic thing that lets it move in and out as well as vibrate.” “As you can see,” adds Haley, “It’s pretty lifelike, except for the fact that the thumb is nubby, like a cat’s tongue, and the fingers are a little thicker than real life.” “And,” I note, “it’s purple.” Haley twinkles. “My favorite color.” Dina gives me an oddlooking glove. “Now look, it’s operated by this glove, which is embedded with motion-capture sensors. There’s a transmitter at the wrist built into a What Would Jesus Do bracelet. Just cuz we’re naughty. “The idea is that you lie on your back, put your feet in the stirrups, and snuggle yourself up against the Hand. Then you manipulate your gloved hand in mid-air, and The Hand does exactly what your hand does. So you’re doing yourself, only from a much better angle, and you don’t get a cramp because the animatronic hand does all the actual work.” Stunned, I can only ask, “What about the velvet? Doesn’t it stain?” “Nope,” says Dina. “The velvet’s made from recycled soda bottles. Wipes clean with a damp rag. So it’s good for you and good for the environment!” 1:11 a.m. Bath run, drops dropped, pastry bag heated and wrapped, bratwurst opened, CD popped in, me naked, a bong hit for good luck. Houston, we are ready for liftoff. I hit play, and pulsing techno fills the room as I slide into the tub. Tav’s voice slinks up under the music: Greetings, my sweet, and bravo to you for facing your deepest sexual fears. For the next few minutes Tav guides me through standard hypno territory: slow, cleansing breaths, muscle-by-muscle relaxation, walking down imaginary stairs leading to a shining golden door, through which one enters into a powerful hypnotic trance.

Now, deep in your hypnotic trance, you turn and see another golden door emanating powerful sexual energy. Reaching for the shining crystal doorknob, you fling the door open and walk into a room filled with beautiful, naked men looking at you with lust-filled eyes. You want all of them. You walk over to the most beautiful man and say, “You! I want you!” Now repeat after me, Sugar. I, of course, repeat. Now darling, pick up a bratwurst. He continues with his step-bystep instructions, but then I happen to open my eyes and see a giant bratwurst sticking out of my mouth. I gag and accidentally bite it in two. Deep hypnotic trance or not, this is fucking ridiculous. I need help. And then I remember The Hand. I jump out of the tub, smear the patchouli oil on my face, grab a fresh brat and the pastry bag, slap the power button, and lie down on the dolly. Glove on, feet in stirrups, I slide forward and open myself to the big, purple, vibrating Hand. I do a little testing to coordinate. The Hand is backwards to my hand: right is left, left is right. But I get the hang of it pretty quickly. And damn if those kittytongue nubbins aren’t a work of genius. This thing is unbelievable. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I can’t take much more of this! On the CD, the still-droning voice of my Obi Sex Kanobi seems to know, because he says: He can’t take it any longer, and neither can you. So, toss the brat, stick the pastry bag in your mouth, and give that baby a squeeze! As my hips fling into the air I squeeze the bag, savoring the warm, almondy goo. I arch again for one long moment, and then collapse. Wow. Wow. Ow. I slowly pull myself out of my orgasmic haze. I’m still on the dolly, but I have shot myself halfway across the room and crashed into the couch. I sit up. Ow! What the hell? I look down. Oh. My. God. The Hand and I have not parted company. Apparently, we can’t. It seems my gloved hand was in open spasm when I launched into space, and now, disconnected from its power source, the animatronic device no longer works. It’s open too wide to pull out, and no amount of power-Kegeling helps. It just won’t close. I scoot myself back to the Lmount and try to reconnect The Hand to its track. Nope. I tip the L-mount on its back and kneel over it. I flip it back and try connecting doggie-style. Still no luck. I call Dina and Haley. They better be able to fix this. I am not going to the emergency room. I will not become some kind of urban legend. December 7, 2:30 a.m. Lying on the floor, waiting for rescue. I’m starving, and have no choice but to polish off the rest of the pastry bag and the remaining four bratwursts — which, I discover, are surprisingly pleasant to swallow. Happy Birthday to me. m

Did you know?

What can faulty plumbing cause? Many things! DISEASES: Cholera and typhus are rare in countries using modern plumbing techniques. Newer diseases are now becoming more prevalent in modern countries. Legionella bacteria can grow in hot water tanks. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) can result from faulty plumbing. LEAD: Licensed plumbers know that in 1986, lead based solder was prohibited for potable water system use. Lead enters drinking water primarily as a result of corrosion of materials containing lead in the household plumbing. Incredibly, some unlicensed individuals still use lead solder.

MOLD AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY: Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce and waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. There is no way to eliminate all mold but the way to control mold growth is to control moisture. Proper installation of water related plumbing fixtures is essential. SCALDING: More deaths and hospitalizations result from hot tap water burns than any other burn caused by liquids. Each year, 30% of children 5 years or younger are involved in bathtub and shower related accidents that result in scalding. Of these scald burn injuries, 70 result in death.

Get It On... and On Revisiting T. Rex’s sensual Electric Warrior

T. STORY

CASEY REA

Rex’s 1971 opus Electric Warrior has been a musical aphrodisiac for generations of libidinous listeners. But there won’t be any big-money reunion tours for the group’s front man and sole songwriter Marc Bolan. In 1977, his girlfriend Gloria Jones (the original performer of the carnal classic, “Tainted Love”) wrapped his sports car around a tree, instantly killing Bolan, her passenger. By that time, the former sex symbol had degenerated into a bloated, alcoholic narcissist whose later releases upheld the law of diminishing returns. It wasn’t always this way. At the dawn of the ’70s, Bolan and his gang of glam-rock lackeys were major players in Great Britain’s own sexual revolution. What The Beatles only hinted at, T. Rex delivered, in the form of comehither cock-rock and slinky cosmic balladry. The band was a pulsing, purring rock ’n’ roll engine set on corrupting the sons and daughters of the English ruling class. Electric Warrior found T. Rex at the top of their seductive game, with leader Bolan acting as guru to a nation of erotic initiates. Even 35 years later, the disc retains

who insisted on playing [T. Rex tune] ‘Cosmic Dancer,’ ’cause people just wanted to make out.” His description seemed to echo my suspicions: T. Rex is the Barry White of rockers. The case for the record’s perennial sexiness can’t rest on a single blog quote, however. That’s why I created the following travelogue of Electric Warrior’s beguiling musical hollows. Consider it a guided tour of T. Rexstacy.

TRACK #1: “MAMBO SUN” The band’s ode to teenage heat and hippie mysticism kicks off with the hipshaking “Mambo Sun.” When first I heard Bolan’s toothy guitar and breathy vocals at age 16, I felt I’d been let in on a salty little secret. The throbbing backbeat and arcane yet amorous lyrics conspired to usher me into exotic illumination. Suddenly, getting laid seemed not only possible but probable, so long as this titillating talisman was playing. When I hear it now, I’m impressed by how well constructed the song is. For disposable music, it’s remarkably potent. And while I have no idea what

A whole new batch of kids are discovering Bolan’s lascivious grooves, awakening to a world where wizards and witches aren’t just Tolkien-esque props but avatars of a salacious, sonic energy. an uncanny magnetism — no wonder it was recently remastered and reissued. Aging classic rockers are undoubtedly familiar with the band’s biggest U.S. hit, “Get It On (Bang a Gong).” But T. Rex’s reach goes further than radio singles. A whole new batch of kids are discovering Bolan’s lascivious grooves, awakening to a world where wizards and witches aren’t just Tolkien-esque props but avatars of a salacious, sonic energy. Electric Warrior holds particular charms for modern indie-rockers, too, as a recent post on local blog Highate — http://highgatecenter.blogspot.com — confirms. Its author, musician Tanner McCuin, writes about finding the right music to play at a recent gettogether: “At one point, I had to defuse a potentially explosive situation between a group of dance-party-ready ladies and one very obstinate fellow

the line “I got stars in my beard / And I feel real weird for you” means, it nonetheless turns me on.

TRACK #2: “COSMIC DANCER” This tune is the soundtrack to existential angst and sexual awakening. In it, Bolan takes us on an erotically charged journey from the womb to the tomb. The crown prince of purple prose, Arthur Rimbaud, once wrote that a poet’s only concerns should be sex and death. This advice is not lost on our hero, as he dances his way across the universe like a space-age dandy. As Bolan quests for pleasure and selfunderstanding, his band supplies a chilled-out groove. The backwards guitar in the song’s finale is an especially nice touch. This is classic make-out music for the body, mind and spirit.

TRACK #3: “JEEPSTER” “Just like a car, you’re pleasing to behold / I’ll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold,” Bolan croons on this revvedup specimen of road-worthy raunch. The tune is a throwback to rock’s early days, when cars and girls were key fixations. But The Beach Boys never sounded like this. Bongos knock and guitars bounce as Bolan struts and swaggers like a horny mechanic. The final verse contains a particularly saucy line: “Girl I’m just a Jeepster for your love / I said girl, I’m just a vampire for your love . . . And I’m gonna suck you!” he sings. Where did I put my cape?

TRACK #4: “MONOLITH” The band slows down with this gorgeous glam ballad. Here, Bolan delivers some of his most enigmatic lyrics. “The throne of time is a kingly thing / From whence you know we all do begin / And dressed as you are girl, in your

fashions of fate / Baby it’s too late,” he purrs. More goofy than seductive, but the wah-wah guitar could melt butter.

TRACK #5: “LEAN LOVE” A misdirected slow-blues number that fails on every level. The best part is Bolan’s ludicrous battle cry, “One, two, buckle my shoe!” Unfortunately, it takes place before the music even begins. If you want to sustain the mood, skip it.

TRACK #6: “GET IT ON (BANG A GONG)” Not even an ill-advised cover by ’80s “supergroup” Power Station could diminish this song’s appeal. Once again, Bolan compares the object of his affection to a motor vehicle. “Well you’re built like a car, you’ve got a hubcap diamond star halo / You’re dirtysweet, and you’re my girl,” he sings gleefully. Of course, he also says she’s

SEVEN DAYS | february 01-08, 2006 | feature 39A

â€œgot the teeth of the hydraâ€? upon her. That doesnâ€™t sound so attractive to me. Still, the tuneâ€™s delicate bump-and-grind and shimmering background vocals make it an erotic anthem for the ages.

TRACK #7: â€œPLANET QUEENâ€? My personal favorite. In it, Bolan commands space aliens to assist him in his search for the perfect mate. â€œFlying saucer, take me away / Give me your daughters,â€? he implores over the tuneâ€™s serpentine shuffle. Not sure if heâ€™s requesting human or alien progeny, but it hardly matters. I wouldâ€™ve loved to have heard Elliott Smith cover this one, if he couldâ€™ve stopped being miserable for long enough.

TRACK #8: â€œGIRLâ€? Despite the title, this is not a love song. A slow acoustic number, it begins with Bolan singing directly to the Almighty. â€œOh God, high in your fields above Earth / Come and be real for us / You with your mind / Oh yes you are beautifully fine,â€? he intones. Is he hitting on the Creator? The next verse deals with a hot chick who, in Bolanâ€™s estimation at least, has fallen from grace: â€œOh Girl, electric witch you are / Limp in societyâ€™s ditch / You are visually fine / Oh yes you are, but mentally dying,â€? he accuses. I think our hero has the solution to the ladyâ€™s troubles, and itâ€™s probably dirty.

TRACK #9: â€œTHE MOTIVATORâ€? Uninspired re-tread of â€œGet It On (Bang a Gong).â€? Even Egyptian imagery and Bolanâ€™s fashion advice canâ€™t save this one.

TRACK #10: â€œLIFEâ€™S A GASâ€? Very sexy. â€œI couldâ€™ve loved you girl, like a planet / I couldâ€™ve changed your heart to a star,â€? Bolan sings over a spare arrangement. His Edith Piaf-meetsDavid Bowie delivery is priceless, as is his metaphysical goading. â€œI couldâ€™ve turned you into a priestess / I couldâ€™ve burned your fate in the sand,â€? he warbles. Sounds like a fine deal to me. Wonder what she did to spurn his affections?

TRACK #11: â€œRIPOFFâ€? The album closer isnâ€™t exactly sexy, but it does have spirit. In it, Bolan unleashes a stream-ofconsciousness invective as horns blare in the background. Iâ€™ve always thought that Mick Jagger wouldâ€™ve been better suited to this tune. But Bolan gives it the olâ€™ college try and, for the most part, delivers. There you have it. Ryko recently re-issued a deluxe edition, so youâ€™ve got no excuse not to put this one on when youâ€™re feeling randy. And if youâ€™ve got the stamina, you can always go back to track #1 when itâ€™s done! m

hat if a rogue state, whose leader foments anti-Semitism, developed a nuclear weapon? Is memory a fragile tissue of changeable chimeras, or a series of self-justifying lies we tell ourselves and others? Holocaust-denying STORY Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ELISABETH and fable-spinning memoirist James Frey CREAN have made recent headlines with such troubling questions. But in 1941, when two Copenhagen, physicists went for a walk after dinner, these written by questions were also in play â€” along with Michael Frayn, the fate of the world. directed by Stephan Golux, In Copenhagen, playwright Michael Frayn produced by tackles the tangled relationship between Vermont Stage German physicist Werner Heisenberg and Company. his Danish mentor Niels Bohr, two central FlynnSpace, figures in the development of atomic physics Burlington, February 1-5; whose friendship melted down at a whiteWednesday hot historical crossroads.

With richly drawn characters and a wealth of weighty themes, this meaty play is emotionally and intellectually engaging. In the current Vermont Stage production, however, director Stephan Golux erred in confining his three-person cast to a needless-

ly small oval sandbox. With one of the FlynnSpaceâ€™s black poles as its â€œnucleus,â€? the shape forces the actors to orbit like particles within an atom. While the metaphor is appropriate to the science, the oval rendered the action claustrophobic, and emphasized the long playâ€™s wordiness. In this, Golux seems to have missed a part of Fraynâ€™s mission. For the characters to rediscover what took place on their fateful walk â€” and, by extension, to reassess who they are and what they have meant to each other over the years â€” they must re-enact what happened. Yet limiting the actorsâ€™ range of motion appeared at times to restrict their range of emotions, leaving them to spin out speeches instead of inhabiting their charactersâ€™ words. Fraynâ€™s point of departure for Copenhagen is the historical speculation over what happened between Heisenberg and Bohr during the German scientistâ€™s September 1941 visit to his teacherâ€™s Nazioccupied hometown. After dinner with Bohr and his wife Margrethe at their home, the two men went outside for a stroll to escape the microphones presumably planted inside. They returned 10 minutes later barely speaking, their friendship ruptured. Years later, even the men themselves could not agree on exactly what had taken place.

Why was a tiff between two prickly professors of earth-shattering consequence? Because together they had helped invent modern physics, and they were among the few men in the world potentially able to figure out how to turn a split nucleus into The Bomb. The play probes the many unknowns about that night. Did Heisenberg try to recruit Bohr for the Nazis? Did he seek intelligence about the Allied program? Did he obliquely pose a scientific question to advance his research? Did he seek Bohrâ€™s blessing to assuage his moral qualms? All of these questions lead to the scariest speculation of all: What if Heisenberg had succeeded in helping Hitler acquire a nuclear weapon before the Allies did? The entire action of the play takes place with the characters looking back from the afterlife, because, as Margrethe says, â€œSome questions remain long after their owners have died. Lingering like ghosts.â€? Ethereal trails of sand poured from a small spotlight above the stage before each act, and at the playâ€™s end, helped to conjure the otherworldly setting. As specters, the characters roam freely between places and times, but two periods absorb their primary focus: the disputed night in 1941, which they revisit several times; and the three years in the 1920s when a young Heisenberg worked under Bohrâ€™s tutelage at the Copenhagen Institute. In those heady days, Bohr became a father figure to the willful, brilliant Heisenberg as they formulated a new understanding of theoretical physics. As recollections unfold, the scientists often use metaphors from their work to analyze their behavior, such as Heisenbergâ€™s uncertainty principle. â€œThe more Iâ€™ve explained, the deeper the uncertainty has become,â€? he says. Abstruse particles of physics donâ€™t cloud Margretheâ€™s memory, however; she requires the men to give â€œplain languageâ€? accounts of their actions. As the de facto, sometimes exasperated mother in this father-son relationship, she provides arch commentary and corrects rose-colored distortions. Donald Grody portrayed Niels Bohr with warmth and charm. He depicted a man who finds searching his memory like rummaging through a messy, treasure-filled attic â€” alternately frustrating and joyful. He used small physical gestures to reflect his characterâ€™s inner turmoil, absent-mindedly twisting his fingers in his hand or furrowing his brow asymmetrically in concentration. His eyes glinted â€” expressing befuddlement, anger or affection â€” from beneath bushy white eyebrows. Grody and Melissa Lourie, as Margrethe, created a convincing portrait of the Bohrs as a tightly bonded couple. With a believable mix of gentle touch and firm speech, they shared the easy rapport of a lifelong partnership that included weathering severe trials: the death of a child and a narrow escape from the Nazis. Lourieâ€™s most moving expression was the inward smile â€” knowing, forgiving, loving â€” of someone who

â€œwas formed by nature [to be] not one but half of two.â€? Lourie gave a spirited interpretation of Margrethe â€” calm, comic or caustic as the situation required. She effectively used costuming to match her age to that of Margrethe, who was 52 in 1941: a salt-and-pepper chignon, peach silk shirtwaist dress and frumpy shoes. The sand, however, made walking in the chunky heels perilously difficult â€” even the men shuffled somewhat unsteadily. While the scrunching of sand made a more soothing sound than clomping dress shoes against a wooden floor, the artistic choice was hard to justify when balanced against the distractions of actorsâ€™ unnatural gaits and the risk of a stumble. The tight oval seemed to have the most confining impact on Mark Nashâ€™s performance as Werner Heisenberg â€” at least on the playâ€™s opening night. Tall and lanky, he just didnâ€™t have enough room to move, and his arms often stayed rigidly at his sides. A loose suit and an odd wig accentuated the stiff body language. Although Nash â€” like Grody and Lourie â€” had mastered mountains of dialogue, filled with arcane scientific terms and German names, he never seemed to relax fully into the challenging role. The German scientist has the most explaining to do, and thus has many of Copenhagenâ€™s most impassioned monologues. Heisenberg spent the last 30 years of his life trying to justify having stayed behind in his homeland to work under Hitlerâ€™s regime. Nash captured the haunted schoolboy in Heisenberg, eager to vindicate himself with his beloved teacher. And he loosened up considerably in the passages where the men recall happier times. But when Heisenberg describes his childhood in Germany, ravaged after the first World War, or a harrowing bicycle journey across his country, destroyed by war a second time, one expects a welling arc of emotion. Nashâ€™s flat interpretation of these pivotal moments limited the audienceâ€™s identification with, or sympathy for, a complex character the playwright tried hard to humanize. Copenhagen doesnâ€™t resolve the issue of what happened that night. Why doesnâ€™t Frayn answer the question? Dramatically, itâ€™s frustrating â€” a long, intellectually demanding script screams for a resolution. Historically, though, it is accurate: We donâ€™t know what took place. But the inspiration for not resolving the story seems to lie more in the science â€” as Heisenberg puts it, â€œthe strangest truth about the universe that any of us has stumbled on since relativity.â€? Namely, that observation and description of even the tiniest particle changes the particle itself. To answer an unresolved question, then, might invite an uncontrollable chain reaction of other consequences â€” inaccurate, unintended and perhaps worse than not knowing. As uncomfortable as it may be, the play suggests, we have to learn to live with uncertainty. m

HIVE MIND

It had been a while since Iâ€™d heard from Vermontâ€™s enterprising rockers Ghosts of Pasha. The last I knew, they were being filmed for the TV version of NPRâ€™s popular radio program â€œThis American Life.â€? Theyâ€™ve since taken a break from live performance, according to front man Milo Finch, Well, the Showtime network has picked up the aforementioned show, which has a Fall 2007 airdate. Itâ€™s anybodyâ€™s guess when the GOP segment will air, however. During the downtime, Finch has been busy mixing the bandâ€™s forthcoming full-length disc, Ghost of Pasha Rules Electricity. Its follow-up is already being tracked. â€œI just bought a $7000 Mac with all the extras,â€? Finch enthuses. DIY is now the name of the game; the band will complete all future projects themselves using the ubiquitous Pro Tools recording platform. Let me know if you run into any snags, dudes. Pashaâ€™s website has been overhauled as well. â€œYou can get everything we have ever recorded as free MP3 downloads,â€? Finch says. â€œThereâ€™s also some live stuff and a bunch of solo projects.â€? Speaking of solo ventures, guitarist Chris Partyka recently recorded three video-game soundtracks while in Seattle and Montana. Drummer Ezra Oklan has been busy working with projects both locally and in the Big Apple, one of which is a percussion summit with drummers Steve Hadeka and Caleb Bronz. In addition to mixing GOP, Finch is currently putting the finishing touches on his own album, Teen Bedrooms. And heâ€™s got another one, too, under the Dynamo 9 moniker. That release is called The Creepiest Thing on Earth. Weâ€™ll see if it lives up to its title. In order to disseminate these projects, Finch and his friends have put together a production company/artist collective called the Dead27Club. A reference to the age at which many rockers met their fate? The collective is currently attempting to raise the dead, via a zombie flick that begins shooting this March. Fans of Pashaâ€™s live show shouldnâ€™t lose faith; the band will return to the stage in support of their new disc. Hope they bring the zombies.

OLD-TIME GOES DIGITAL Vermontâ€™s bluegrass community recently found an online home, courtesy of http://www.vermontbluegrass.org. Site meister Stephen Waud created it to provide information about bluegrass groups and events in the Green Mountains. Currently the page features band listings, brief bios and contact information. Thereâ€™s also an events section with â€” you guessed it â€” up-to-date information on bluegrass jams throughout the state. A couple features havenâ€™t been completely integrated yet; stay tuned for press and classifieds sections in the near future. Thatâ€™ll be useful if youâ€™re looking to buy or sell an instrument, or find some folks to pick with. Itâ€™ll take public involvement to keep the venture vital, so be sure to send any bluegrass-related info you have to: contact@ vermontbluegrass.org.

variety of backgrounds, musical and otherwise. Lea, who is also a guitar craftsman, has played with more groups than I can recall. Missy I finally caught one of Burlingtonâ€™s most talked-about, below-theBly, Barbacoa, James Kochalka Superstar and Buffalo radar acts, Cave Bees, last Saturday at Radio Bean. The band trades Springsteen come first to mind. in fun, chug-a-lug punk rock of the pre-â€™83 variety â€” you know, Adams is a newbie to live performance, but heâ€™s gaining experibefore Black Flag gave the genre a hardcore makeover. Comprising ence with both the Bees and Radio Bean regulars Sons of Dawn. drummer Joey Adams, bassist Rebekah Whitehurst, axeman Before his rock â€™nâ€™ roll career, he milked cows from a one-man shack Creston Lea and songwriter Steve Tremblay, the group fires on all in Thetford. â€œNot in a charming, hippie-bucolic way, but in a bleak, pistons, with a sloppy muscularity all their own. existential, freezing way,â€? notes Lea. Tremblay, who previously made noise for punk terrors Bag of Whitehurst is the bandâ€™s secret weapon. One of the finest bassists Panties, is a charming, if odd, front man. His childlike mannerisms in town, she keeps the group thrumming along with aggressively agile low-end maneuvers. â€œBefore Rebekah, the Bees had no bass,â€? says Lea. â€œNow we have killer bass.â€? Word. STEVE TREMBLAY You can catch Cave Bees at 135 Pearl on Saturday, February 4, with geek-rock berzerkers The Jazz Guys.

THE CLARY REPORT Iâ€™ve been holding back on reporting Colin Clary news â€” I wouldnâ€™t want folks to think heâ€™s paying me for column space. Anyway, itâ€™s been at least a month since the last update, so I figure my integrity is fairly safe. As usual, the indie-pop mastermind has a bunch of stuff to announce. First up is his brand-new cassette single coming out Wednesday, Feb. 1, on Sanitary Records. â€œItâ€™s the first installment of what should be a fine series,â€? Clary says. Each lo-fi act involved will get 2-and-a-half minutes on a side of an old-fashioned, analog tape. Remember those? That doesnâ€™t seem like much time, but Clary managed to squeeze REBEKAH WHITEHURST four tunes in, including â€œJames at 38,â€? which I assume was written for hometown superstar James Kochalka. Claryâ€™s band The Smittens recently filmed a video for their tune â€œMy Favorite Dream.â€? They had to work quickly, before keyboardist/vocalist Max Andrucki jetted back to his current home in merry old England. â€œWe spent a day in bed and at a zombie banquet,â€? Clary says of the shoot. Zombies, eh? Wonder if they borrowed â€™em from Ghosts of Pasha? The band also made the annual TweeNet poll, tying Belle & Sebastian and Of Montreal for the #11 slot. â€œTheyâ€™ve done it since â€™94 or so,â€? Clary explains. â€œItâ€™s a small poll, but an international community â€” weâ€™re honored to be grouped with some of the other bands we love!â€? Clary appears again in the Best Album category, coming in alongside indie troubadour Sufjan Stevens for his recent â€œSweater Weather or Not, These Are the Songs Iâ€™ve Got.â€? Have a look at http://www.twee.net. Finally, Claryâ€™s Smittens off-shoot Letâ€™s Whisper (which also features Dana Kaplan) recently contributed a cover of Depeche Modeâ€™s â€œSomebodyâ€? to a forthcoming Asuarus10:50 Records 1x6-VTPub012506 1/9/06 AMcompilation.

and outsider wit place him in the pantheon of Vermontâ€™s lovable musical eccentrics. According to Lea, the bandâ€™s material is mostly culled from â€œa great song-cycle about an alligator.â€? That might seem odd, until you consider that reptiles have a place in rock tradition. Just ask the Lizard King himself, Jim Morrison. Oh, wait, you canâ€™t. Concept or no, the Cave Bees got the crowd pumped. â€œWe mostly just play the rocking-est parts of the cycle,â€? Lea says. â€œPeople need big, simple rock to live. Weâ€™re like a jam-band antidote.â€? Tremblayâ€™s bandmates hail from a

reviewthis THE CHAD HOLLISTER BAND, SPIRITS

THE YEAR’S BEST, IT’S NOT EASY BEING ME AROUND YOU

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Hailing from Barre and currently residing in Burlington, The Year’s Best are four young lads — guitarist Adam Fuller, vocalist/guitarist Mike Wheeler, drummer Kevin Bell and bassist Sean Martin — with a knack for meaty pop hooks and introspective indie-rock poetics. It’s Not Easy Being Me Around You, the group’s third CD, is a 50-minute collection of sad-eyed sermons for the lonely. The band traffics in the oft-annoying “emo” genre. Many of TYB’s contemporaries slide into self-mockery with overly earnest sentimentality. The Year’s Best, however, dress their emotional outbursts in memorable songs that are tasteful, if not overly original. This is emo of the jangle-pop, happy-go-lucky variety, and the group sticks closely to its formula. Acoustic guitars chime as drums snap pleasantly along, giving the tunes a shimmering quality not often heard in the work of their downcast peers. Unfortunately, the record suffers from a lack of variety. Opener “Till There Was You” winds its way into a rowdy rave-up, and “Calling Cards” finds the musicians bouncing like they have bellies full of Ritalin. But the majority of the album’s material is firmly stuck in safe, mid-tempo territory. Even so, the foursome includes a number of small musical embellishments that keep the songs from becoming too tame. “Till There Was You” successfully borrows lines from Meredith Willson’s The Music Man — a fine accomplishment, although they were beaten to the punch by another, slightly more famous pop group, The Beatles. “Four Leaf” features the well placed — if decidedly un-rock — wheezing of an accordion. The band sounds tight and in control throughout, delivering its songs like a crew of proper professionals. Wheeler and Martin’s harmonies treat the ear particularly well, as do Fuller’s tasteful yet understated electric guitar leads. It would be nice to hear the band branch out a little further, but this set of tunes goes down smooth. It’s Not Easy Being Me Around You may not be, well, the year’s best, but it’s still a fine listen.

Chad Hollister will be familiar to folks who’ve kept a steady eye on the Burlington music scene. Back in the ’90s, Hollister went by his first name only, building a reputation with earnest, good-natured pop tunes and dogged work ethic. Along the way, he enjoyed the company of jam-gods Phish, with whom he occasionally gigged. Hollister’s latest disc, Spirits, is dedicated to the memory of his father, Reverend William Hollister. The senior Hollister was an important figure in Chad’s life, encouraging him to follow his musical dreams. He’s done just that over the course of five independent releases. Much of the music on Spirits could be classified as adult contemporary, which is to say it employs tried-and-true songwriting structures. The production is impeccable throughout; guitars shimmer and sparkle; drums sound like the timekeeper is right in your room. Hollister’s gruffly melodic voice claims the front of the mix, creating a sense of intimacy. Subtle musical flourishes add dimension to each cut, elevating the material above its humble acoustic origins. The songs themselves walk a fine line between the canny and the cliché. Hollister’s heart is worn plainly on his sleeve, but his prose is sometimes weighed down by mundane platitudes. “Don’t want to hear about J-Lo, or where she’s been,” states the first line from opening cut “Simplicity.” There’s no better way to permanently date a record than to throw a pop-culture reference into your lyrics. Remember the Tae Bo reference in Train’s sap-fest “Drops of Jupiter?” I didn’t think so. “Dr. Bethesda” fares far better, with a shifting time signature and deliciously feisty horn line. Hollister’s peppery vocals reference an unscrupulous M.D. who could be a distant relative of Steely Dan’s “Kid Charlemagne.” “I’ll bring 50 cbs of methane for the pain / And a Great Dane / So she won’t feel so insane / And a ’72 version of “Sweet Jane,” he scats in the tune’s turbulent finale. “Comin’ After” is a funk-lite ditty with a love song’s heart, while the gentle ballad “Insecurity” features slide guitar and tasty organ work. Closing cut “Fall” strips away the sonic trappings, revealing Hollister for what he truly is: an ace balladeer with decent chops and ruggedly tender vocals. Hollister has a regular solo gig at T. Bones in Colchester on Wednesdays; you can also catch him with modq-magicHat020106 1/30/06 1:02onPM Page 1 his trio at Montpelier’s Black Door Bar and Bistro Friday, Feb. 3.

Off-Road Show

M EXHIBIT Duker Bower, contemporary paintings, sculpture and photography, and others. Mt. Philo Gallery, Inn at Charlotte. Through March 20.

ARTWORK “The Last Patagonian Indian” by Duker Bower

PHOTO Marc Awodey

t. Philo Gallery is a multi-use venue operated by a multifaceted artist. Attached to the Inn at Charlotte on Route 7, the gallery hosts figure-drawing sessions on Wednesday nights, and innkeeper Duker Bower, who is also an artist, lets his studio spill into the gallery during off hours. Considering that his largest canvasses can measure 9 feet high, he needs all the space he can get. Bower’s MFA from Boston University is in sculpture, but he is a supreme technician in painting and photography as well. Technique without vision, of course, can result in sterile artworks, but that is not the case here. Bower’s wall-mounted bronze portrait of Bob Dylan describes the musician as a Renaissance artist might have described Cosimo de Medici. The work attests to Bower’s uniquely inspired amalgamation of old and new. His large frieze, “Lioness in an Oasis at Night,” is a relief sculpture with a turquoise patina. It is easily as visionary as the painting “Peaceable Kingdom” by 19th-century folk artist Edward Hicks. One of the two 6-by-9-foot oils on view is entitled “Noah’s Ark Revisited.” The monumental landscape is no mere bucolic idyll. A weary

nomad rests in the lower right corner of the ceiling-tall vertical painting, a mystical landscape of deep, craggy valleys. Above the mountains churns a stormy, gold-and-gray sky, seemingly brewing ferocious weather of Biblical proportions. “The Last Patagonian Indian” is based on a photograph Bower discovered while traveling in Argentina. He hitched a ride from a man in Comodoro Rivadavia who invited him to stay over, and Bower saw the photograph in his host’s family album. As he couldn’t borrow the picture, he immediately started drawing it. Considering Bower’s exceptional skill as a draftsman, the resulting painting is no doubt identical to the original. In Bower’s words, the scene “. . . tells the whole sad story. Argentineans gather ’round for a photo — look at the Indian in the guanaco skin. The end of the story is, the Patagonian Indians are now extinct.” Bower’s own photographs were taken closer to home. “South Starksboro Blues” would be a fairly familiar, run-down automobile scene, if it weren’t for his super-saturated colors. The blue of the 1930s car seems weirdly electric. “State Park Road Home” looks like an aerial photo but was actually shot from the

top of Mt. Philo. The scene surveys an emerald-green carpet of fields and clumps of trees below. The inn and gallery are specks on the landscape. Bower doesn’t show just his own work; right now he’s co-exhibiting with six other artists, and plans to include more in coming months. South Burlington painter Earnie Brown is among those in the current show. Though he isn’t well known in Vermont’s visual-arts scene, Brown has probably sold more pieces than any other artist in the state. Puzzle pieces, that is. He designs picture puzzles for a company based in New Hampshire. Brown’s less commercially inspired landscape paintings at Mt. Philo Gallery include a series studying the 18th-century granite posts that enigmatically appear in overgrown pastures. These posts were once regularly used for fences and in gates. Each group of them in Brown’s paintings look like segments from a New England Stonehenge. In “Post and Snow,” three posts recede into a treeline of pines; powdery, blowing snow obscures the furthest post. If Mt. Philo Gallery’s future shows are as dynamic as this inaugural exhibition, it’s destined to become one of Route 7’s best roadside attractions. m

Mild Abandon

“We were all the rage - before the Bulimia Triplets surfaced.”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

illustration: slug signorino

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, Please, please, please settle this question. The discussion has been going on for ages, and any time someone mentions the words “airplane” or “conveyor belt” everyone starts right back up. Here’s the original problem essentially as it was posed to us: “A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Can the plane take off?” There are some difficulties with the wording of the problem, specifically regarding how we define speed, but the spirit of the situation is clear. The solution is also clear to me (and many others), but a staunch group of unbelievers won’t accept it. My conclusion is that the plane does take off. Planes, whether jet or propeller, work by pulling themselves through the air. The rotation of their tires results from this forward movement, and has no bearing on the behavior of a plane during takeoff. I claim the only difference between a regular plane and one on a conveyor belt is that the conveyor belt plane’s wheels will spin twice as fast during takeoff. Please, Cecil, show us that it’s not only theoretically possible (with frictionless wheels) but it’s actually possible, too. Berj A. Doudian, via email Excuse me — did I hear somebody say Monty Hall? On first encounter this question, which has been showing up all over the Net, it seems inane because the answer seems so obvious. However, as with the infamous Monty-Hallthree-doors-and-one-prize-problem, the obvious answer is wrong, and you, Berj, are right — the plane takes off normally, with no need to specify frictionless wheels or any other such foolishness. You’re also right that the question is often worded badly, leading to confusion, arguments, etc. In

short, we’ve got a topic screaming for the Straight Dope. First, the obvious-but-wrong answer. The unwary tend to reason by analogy to a car on a conveyor belt — if the conveyor moves backward at the same rate that the car’s wheels rotate forward, the net result is that the car remains stationary. An aircraft in the same situation, they figure, would stay planted on the ground, since there’d be no air rushing over the wings to give it lift. But of course cars and planes don’t work the same way. A car’s wheels are its means of propulsion — they push the road backwards (relatively speaking), and the car moves forward. In contrast, a plane’s wheels aren’t motorized; their purpose is to reduce friction during takeoff (and add it, by braking, when landing). What gets a plane moving are its propellers or jet turbines, which shove the air backward and thereby impel the plane forward. What the wheels, conveyor belt, etc., are up to is largely irrelevant. Let me repeat: Once the pilot fires up the engines, the plane moves forward at pretty much the usual speed relative to the ground — and more importantly the air — regardless of how fast the conveyor belt is moving backward. This generates lift on the wings, and the plane takes off. All the conveyor belt does, as you correctly conclude, is make the plane’s wheels spin madly. A thought experiment commonly cited in discussions of this question is to imagine you’re standing on a health-club treadmill in Rollerblades while holding a rope attached to the wall in front of you. The treadmill starts; simultaneously you begin to haul in the rope. Although you’ll have to overcome some initial friction tugging you backward, in short order you’ll be able to pull yourself forward easily. As you point out, one problem here is the wording of the question. Your version straightforwardly states that the conveyor moves backward at the same rate that the plane moves forward. If the plane’s forward speed is 100 miles per hour, the conveyor rolls 100 mph backward, and the wheels rotate at 200 mph. Assuming you’ve got Indy-car-quality tires and wheel bearings, no problem. However, some versions put matters this way: “The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels at any given time, moving in the opposite direction of rotation.” This language leads to a paradox: If the plane moves forward at 5 mph, then its wheels will do likewise, and the treadmill will go 5 mph backward. But if the treadmill is going 5 mph backward, then the wheels are really turning 10 mph forward. But if the wheels are going 10 mph forward . . . Soon the foolish have persuaded themselves that the treadmill must operate at infinite speed. Nonsense. The question thus stated asks the impossible — simply put, that A = A + 5 — and so cannot be framed in this way. Everything clear now? Maybe not. But believe this: The plane takes off. CECIL ADAMS

Match Point HHHHH

F STROKE OF LUCK Rhys-Meyers plays a social climber who meets his ticket to the good life on the tennis court.

or people who’ve been around a while, and who know and love film, 2005 was a sort of bittersweet year. On one hand, Ingmar Bergman emerged from the shadows with Saraband, only to announce that it would be his final work. Now, boys and girls, this is a man who was regarded as a god back in those ancient days when cinema was considered an art form and not just something rappers and pop singers branch out into once their careers have taken off. History is measured by certain milestones, and the close of a career like Bergman’s is such a landmark moment. As Bergman receded back into the shadows, however, Woody Allen, a filmmaker famously influenced by the Swedish director, did the last thing his public expected. At 70 the director ended a streak of lightweight, minor releases and unveiled a philosophical drama as provocative and accomplished as any movie he has made. Match Point will leave many a moviegoer wistful for the days when motion pictures routinely contained things such as social conscience, psychological depth and — are you sitting down? — ideas as opposed to special effects. An entire generation knows Allen chiefly as a result of the tabloid attention he received when he left Mia Farrow in 1992 for her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. This is the movie that will make clear to these youngsters why Woody Allen already had been considered a cultural icon for decades. “The man who said, ‘I’d rather be lucky than good’ saw deeply into life,” declares Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in the opening sequence. “People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control.” The character Rhys-Meyers plays is very lucky indeed. A former professional tennis player from a working-class Irish background, Chris Wilton has left the touring life behind and taken a job giving lessons at a private London club. It is his good fortune, almost as soon as he arrives, to be introduced to the son of a wealthy businessman and, after only a session or two, to be invited to join the fellow and his family at the opera and at their country estate. As Tom Hewett, Matthew Goode is a breezy, trusting, thoroughly likable chap who’s always making cocktails and is likely to bring to mind a young Jeremy Irons. He’s also betrothed to a sultry American played by Scarlett Johansson. Rhys-Meyers insinuates himself into the family by pretending to be head-over-heels for his friend’s sister (Emily Mortimer), a sweet but dullish young woman, while the truth is, he has an atomic case of the hots for Johansson. This con-

SHORTS dition persists after Rhys-Meyers and Mortimer tie the knot. In fact, it grows more serious. Eventually, they have an affair. At this point, things seem to be going swimmingly for the socially ambitious young man. His father-in-law (Brian Cox) has set him up with a designer office, expense account and chauffeured Jag. The newlyweds have moved into an elegant loft the old man also thoughtfully subsidized. But, just when Wilton’s luck appears to be running the hottest, it turns momentarily ice-cold. Though his wife is desperate to have a baby, guess which woman becomes pregnant. What is Wilton to do? It doesn’t take him long to conclude that it’s not in his interest to alienate the loving, generous Hewetts. There’s not a whole lot of soul to search in his case, so, faster than you can say A Place in the Sun, he sets in motion a chain of events worthy of Hitchcock. The only question, really, is whether luck will be on his side in the aftermath. Match Point is Allen’s deepest, darkest creation since 1989’s Crimes and Misdemeanors and, in fact, explores a good deal of the same moral territory. In the earlier film, Martin Landau wrestled with the cosmic ramifications of arranging for a mistress’ disposal. While the picture was greatly admired, Allen always felt he blew it. “I so regretted that I had my comic story in there,” he told Entertainment Weekly in December. “I thought, my God, if I had made this film just about Marty and his predicament, it would have been so much better . . . I felt that it ratcheted down in substance instantly.” Sixteen years later, he has made the movie he wished he’d made back then. The writer-director is at the absolute top of his form. Though shot in London with a primarily British cast, the film feels more like a golden-era Woody Allen picture than any he’s produced in years. Old recordings of Italian opera provide the soundtrack for the tragedy. Characters play things out against a backdrop of art museums and moviehouses. Human purpose, cosmic justice and love are sought but prove elusive. There’s a moment in the movie when the young man considers his actions and, for an instant, hopes that he’ll be caught. After all, he reflects, his apprehension would offer “some small measure of hope for the possibility of meaning.” With his 36th film, Allen offers hope for the possibility of meaning as well; the possibility that one of the most celebrated artists of our age hasn’t finished his personal search quite yet, and that every now and then a movie with the old Allen touch might still make its way to the Cineplex. m

ANNAPOLISHH James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Donnie Wahlberg signed on for this drama about young men struggling to become Naval officers at the prestigious-but-demanding, 137year-old institution.

SEVEN DAYS WELCOME TO SARAJEVO

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Killer Movies almost a million Tutsis during a 100day period of bloodletting. The media called it “tribal warfare,” while the world looked the other way. Even the U.N. was shamefully slow to act. Bach took a leave of absence to live in the African nation with her physician husband and their two children. He practiced at a hospital in the capital city of Kigali; Bach eventually did some consulting and taught at a law school in another part of the country. Apart from a bullet-riddled government building, however, she did not see much evidence of the collective trauma. Perhaps selective amnesia is a survival mechanism, but Bach was surprised to find, “It’s the rare Rwandan who’ll tell you where they were in 1994.” The free film series, which is open to the public, bears witness to such tragic chapters of human history. It began a few weeks ago with two selections: Ararat, about the World War I-era extermination of an estimated 2 million Armenians living in Turkey, and Schindler’s List, Steve Spielberg’s Holocaust masterpiece. Six more screenings remain on a schedule that continues through the spring: February 10: Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987) by Louis Malle traces what happens to a Jewish boy harbored at a French boarding school run by priests during the Nazi occupation. February 17: The Killing Fields (1984) depicts a New York Times

reporter (Sam Waterston, who now plays a legal eagle on “Law & Order”) covering the Khmer Rouge takeover with help from a Cambodian, who is then persecuted when all the Westerners leave. March 17: Hotel Rwanda (2004) taps into a grim scenario of Africans left behind as white people flee the massacre. Don Cheadle portrays a courageous man saving 1200 locals marked for death. March 24: Sometime in April (2004) is an HBO feature about the Rwandan horrors, from the perspective of a war-crimes tribunal a decade later. April 7: Welcome to Sarajevo (1997) zeroes in on journalists from around the world gathered in Bosnia to report on the conflict. April 14: Videoletters (19992005) is a compilation of 20 short documentaries that trace communications between people estranged or separated by combat in the former Yugoslavia.

Tonight, February 1, the Rutland Free Library is sponsoring a 6:30 p.m. screening of clips from an unfinished documentary, In Their Own Words: Iraqi Perspectives on the Occupation. The Massachusetts filmmaker, 25-year-old Brian Conley, will be on hand to discuss his recent stay in Mess o’ Potamia, as Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” often designates the embattled Persian Gulf locale. During the Baghdad sojourn, he interviewed many peace-minded people opposed to the U.S. presence. Conley is unsure when the project will be completed. “It partially depends on whether I return to Iraq in the next few months or not,” he writes in an email. “I have no idea right now how long the final piece will be, perhaps 90 minutes, give or take. I have around 40 hours of footage to distill.” Check Conley’s website — http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org — for details. m

But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

Note: This puzzle is based on an idea by Andrew A. Neill. FLASH Gordon’s ROCKET made some rough landings. The boogeyman would rather say BOO than boogie. A STEAMER can be a boat, a car, a container or a clam. Tom the weather wizard calls a thunderstorm a BOOMER. Taxidermy played a chillingly bizarre role in PSYCHO. The Tin Man’s arthritis was cured by an OIL CAN. Mangling a phrase, Mary called herself a BABE in the wool. As birds go, a HAWK and a ROOSTER have lots of attitude. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A DIAMOND. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: They’ll make you see red.

rom sober courtroom mysteries by John Grisham to the absurd machinations on TV’s “Boston Legal,” Americans love dramatizations of the justice system. The inherent drama of ethnic cleansing is currently under consideration as a jurisprudence issue at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton. A Friday afternoon cinematic showcase, called the Genocide Film Series, complements the educational institution’s first-ever course on the subject. “We’re trying to understand how we, as lawyers, can use the rule of law to prevent and punish genocide,” says Tracy Bach, who teaches the genocide class with fellow professor Pamela Stephens. “The films offer some nonlinear thinking about the topic, so our 13 students can learn from a different set of senses.” The motion pictures provide narrative focus for a syllabus that’s otherwise solidly in legalese. The course took shape when Bach and Stephens simultaneously happened to read the 2003 Pulitzer Prizewinning book, A Problem From Hell: America in the Age of Genocide by Samantha Powers. They also referred to a wealth of time-honored documents, such as the United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions. For Bach, genocide has a somewhat personal connection. She spent 2002 in Rwanda, where eight years earlier Hutu militants had slaughtered

WILTED SPINACH WITH LEMON & PINE NUTS

LING LING’S DUMPLINGS WITH THREE CHEESES

Simple and beautiful. Fruity hot olive oil coats the spinach leaves, a splash of lemon brightens the flavors. Remember to wilt the spinach quickly, without overcooking it. Serves 4

1 package (24 ounces) Ling Ling’s Chicken or Vegetable Dumplings • 2 t butter 1 T all-purpose flour • dash nutmeg 1 ¼ C warm (almost hot) milk • ¼ t salt 4 C spinach leaves, washed and dried 1/2 C shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Italian parmesan) • Freshly ground black pepper ½ cup each shredded fontina and gruyere cheeses

1 large bunch of spinach, about 12 cups leaves 1 T organic extra virgin olive oil 1–2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 t fresh lemon juice • salt and pepper 1 T pine nuts, toasted Sort through spinach, discarding the stems and bruised or yellow leaves. Wash spinach in plenty of cold water; if it’s sandy, wash a second time, spin dry. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over mediumhigh heat. Add the garlic and lemon juice and sauté for 1 minute. Turn the heat to high and add the spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few pinches of pepper. Wilt the spinach, tossing with tongs to coat the leaves with the hot oil and garlic. (The water left on the leaves after washing will help it to wilt quickly.) Toss in the pine nuts and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Boil Ling Ling’s Chicken or Vegetable Dumplings according to package boiling directions. Rinse dumplings in cold water; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a 6-quart pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add flour; stir about 1/2 minute. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes. Return to heat. While stirring with a wooden spoon, pour in milk. Add nutmeg and salt; continue to cook and stir until thickened and flavorful, about 8 minutes. Stir in raw spinach and cheeses; cook and stir over low heat until spinach wilts and cheese melts. Add cooked Dumplings; stir gently until evenly coated. Adjust salt to taste. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of pepper and additional ParmigianoReggiano cheese, if desired.

FRIDAY 03

FOUR TO TANGO

Move over, Rice-A-Roni: There’s a new San Francisco treat in town. The classically trained players of the Quartet San Francisco morphed into traditional chamber music’s alt-improv cousin after violinist Jeremy Cohen founded the group in 2001. Cohen studied under violin icon Itzhak Perlman for two years, yet retains his ties to pop culture: an adaptation of West Side Story’s “Cool” graces QSF’s first release, and Cohen performs on the instrument that led the MGM orchestra on The Wizard of Oz soundtrack.) Since then, the ensemble has made a name for itself with exuberant funk, swing, Latin and, yes, tango — in 2004 the group earned a Grand Prize in the NYC Argentine Consulate’s International Tango Competition. Their sizzling-hot club style merges breeziness with technical precision.

QUARTET SAN FRANCISCO Friday, February 3, UVM Recital Hall, Burlington, pre-concert talk 6:30 p.m., concert 7:30 p.m. $25. Info, 863-5966. http://www.quartetsanfrancisco.com

SEVEN DAYS

scene@MOCK INSTANT RUNOFF VOTING BURLINGTON CITY HALL AUDITORIUM, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1 P.M. The next mayoral election in Burlington will be different from every one before it: Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) will determine the winner. This new method gives voters the option of ranking multiple candidates on the same ballot, features consecutive â€œroundsâ€? of voting, and ensures that the eventual winner will have more than a 50 percent majority. Last Friday, in preparation for the real thing in March, city officials did a test run. Call it a vote of confidence. Clusters of red, white and blue balloons floated at attention as a handful of people filed into the white-and-rose-colored Contois Auditorium. While Jo LaMarche, the cityâ€™s director of elections, offered a brief explanation of the process, two voting machines rested quietly in the background â€” sleek, black and ready to count. After a minor volley of questions, LaMarche gave us permission to vote. The room fell quiet for a moment while participants decided how best to rank the fake candidates. Eventually, after some chin scratching and pen biting, all the ballots were fed into the machines. When it was time to check the results, however, a technical glitch caused a 30-minute delay. Tension and skepticism crept into the room as mock-voters made small talk. One man reflected on IRVâ€™s proven success in San Francisco. Others swapped protest stories: â€œD.C. has it set up; arrive on a late-night bus, protest all day, back in Burlington that night.â€? â€œNew York has â€™em for weeks at a time. 24/7 protest, man. Itâ€™s crazy. Protest parties all night long.â€? Then the glitch was fixed. We waited in an apprehensive silence as the results were finally pulled up. And the winner was . . . nobody! That is, there was not a sufficient majority. So we mock-voters got to see IRV run its course. There was a sense of bonus excitement, sort of a political overtime. Unfortunately, the actual process was anticlimactic. This was instant runoff voting, where the imaginary Mary Parker (Democrat) actually had the thing clinched from the beginning. The ensuing â€œroundsâ€? of re-allocating votes to her were only a formality, a show for the voters. No drama, just math. Like other competitions, an election is more interesting when thereâ€™s more at stake. In March, Iâ€™ll be sure to have some money riding on it.

DUTY BOUNDARIES

The U.S. Army Air Corps began to train African-Americans as military pilots in 1941 at the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), an Alabama school first headed by Booker T. Washington. Over the course of WWII, Tuskegee graduated 992 pilots, and sent 450 of them overseas for combat. The Tuskegee Airmen became one of the corpsâ€™ most highly decorated units in an army that remained segregated until 1948. This Friday, St. Michaelâ€™s College hosts Captain Richard D. Macon, an 85-year-old Tuskegee pilot who was shot down over Germany and narrowly missed execution by a firing squad. Macon attributes the racial injustice of his day to ignorance, and encourages todayâ€™s young people to seek out the wild blue yonder with integrity.

THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN Friday, February 3, Vermont Room, Alliot Student Center, St. Michaelâ€™s College, Colchester, noon - 2 p.m. Free. Info, 654-2536. http://www.tuskegeeairmen.org

SISTER ACT

If hanging out with the gals can be therapeutic, learning to love your sisters can be downright transformative. Thatâ€™s the premise of The Sisters Rosensweig, which follows three successful, globetrotting siblings in their quest for middle-aged happiness. Two end up crashing the London flat of the eldest, who isnâ€™t happy to be turning 54. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wendy Wasserstein penned the semi-autobiographical comedy of errors gone right, which won the 1993 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway Play. The newly formed Vermont Actorsâ€™ Repertory Theatre stages the show; Eric Peterson of Benningtonâ€™s Oldcastle Theatre directs. This production is made poignant by Wassersteinâ€™s recent passing, at age 55.

If tap-dancing construction workers were let loose on the set of a skyscraper-in-progress, the result would look and sound something like Tap Dogs. The burly Australian production originated in 1995 with Dein Perry, a choreographer who tapped into tap as a kid in the steeland-coal town of Newcastle. His Gene Kelly-meets-Crocodile Dundee act has been touring for 10 years. In it, a sextet of six-pack-sporting blokes beats out rhythms in steel-plated work boots, urged on by two live musicians and a hard-rock score. Mikes strapped to the tappers’ ankles amplify each surface on the ever-changing set. Routines include a break-time basketball duet, dramatic spark-showers from grinding tools, an upside-down ceiling dance and a splashy, puddle-jumping finale. Here’s a hint: Put on the proffered ponchos.

FEBRUARY 02-08

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My friend

CANCER (June 21-July 22): After tor-

Rose comes from a large extended family that does not include a single millionaire. There’s no chance she will inherit a windfall from a dead relative. On the other hand, many religious devotees, humanitarians, and do-gooders have graced both sides of her family line. She regards her own idealistic aspirations as being a result of the legacy they left her; she thinks of herself as having received an inheritance composed of spiritual wealth. What about you, Aries? What are the special gifts of your heritage? What talents and capacities have your ancestors blessed you with? It’s time to intensify your efforts to make use of them.

rential rains caused flooding in the small town where I live, the Thai restaurant was one of the few downtown businesses that was spared catastrophic damage. The maître d’ explained to me why as I ordered my to-go dinner tonight. “We’ve always hated our tile floor. It makes the place feel sterile, and it’s slippery. People lose their footing if there’s even a little wet spot. But when the 3 feet of floodwater poured in, our tile floor held up. All the stores around us had wooden floors that were destroyed.” This is your metaphor of the week, Cancerian. Something in your life that you have regarded as a problem will become a saving grace.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Do you have a forbidden fantasy? Is there some adventure you wish you could let yourself have, but you lack the money or spunk to attempt it? Have you been nursing an impossible dream that is no closer to fulfillment now than it was when you first conjured it up years ago? If so, Taurus, the time has come to resolve your relationship with it. Either renounce it and forget it forever, or else take a bold, practical step toward making it come true. P.S. You have more courage than you realize.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Fashion designer Rick Owens toiled in relative obscurity for years while perfecting his “glunge” look, which mixes glamour with grunge. Now he has his own acclaimed clothing line in Paris. Recently an interviewer asked him, “What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?” His reply: “We’re all freaks.” I’d like you to take that idea to heart, Gemini. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll benefit from fully acknowledging how odd, idiosyncratic, irregular and mysterious you really are — and learning to love that fact. Owens also spurred this week’s second assignment. “What’s your definition of beauty?” he was asked. “With fitness, grooming and an open heart,” he said, “absolutely anyone can be wildly attractive.” Work on that, too. Revel in your wildly attractive freakiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may not realize how significant a role architecture plays in shaping your moods, ideas and decisions. I’m here to remind you that it does. The quality of the indoor space you regularly inhabit deeply influences what goes on inside your mind and body. It’s not just the structure of the buildings I’m talking about, of course, but also the decor, the furniture, the carpets and the colors. In 2006, it will be important for you to become more aware of this fact, and to be aggressive about putting yourself into environments that bring out the best in you. As a gift to yourself, spend some time inside the most uplifting building you know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I decided to work on your horoscope while out in nature today. Armed with my notebook of astrology data, I found a fallen tree to use as a chair on the muddy bank of Ross Creek. As I gazed into the rain-swollen torrent and thought about you, a little voice in my head said I should give you the following message: To invoke the awareness that will help you formulate this week’s most important questions, spend quality time watching water flow through the earth, watching clouds stream through the sky, and watching thoughts glide across your mind’s eye.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Though the human body is born complete in one moment, the birth of the human heart is an ongoing process,” writes John O’Donohue in his book Anam Cara. In other words, your capacity for love is forever on the brink of expanding. Your potential to be transformed by compassionate intimacy is inexhaustible. Your emotional intelligence is always ready to awaken more thoroughly, to ripen more brilliantly. Of course, you can resist the ongoing pressure to give birth to more heart wisdom. Shrinking back from the relentless upheaval, you can reject the demanding bliss you’re offered and retreat into safe numbness. Which way will you choose, Libra? This week will be a turning point.

truthiness yourself and protest it when it spills from others. But it’s especially crucial now. Arm yourself with factiness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good news, Capricorn. Right now your financial prospects look almost as bright as those of the oil industry, whose earnings grew 42 percent in the last three months of 2005. There is a caveat, however. If, like the companies that sell gasoline, you attempt to capitalize on bad news and profit at the expense of the collective wellbeing, your money situation will suffer. To gather all of the good economic fortune that’s available, you’ve got to redouble your efforts to maintain high levels of integrity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This isn’t AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): always the case, Scorpio, but right now you have a certain resemblance to that type of wild iris know as blue-eyed grass. Its stem isn’t hardy enough to hold up more than one flower blossom at a time; before a new bloom sprouts, therefore, the old one has to wither. Similarly, you can’t and shouldn’t try to work on more than a single labor of love, at least for the next week. Devote all your concentration and care to it, ignoring the other possibilities. And don’t worry: This narrowing of your focus is a good thing.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The American Dialect Society has chosen the best new words of 2005. Winning in the “most creative” category was “whale tail,” which refers to the top of a thong showing above the waistband of pants or a skirt. But the fresh coinage that’s most meaningful to you right now, Sagittarius, is “truthiness.” It’s the quality people embody when they assert concepts that they wish to be true instead of sticking to the facts. In his TV show on Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert articulated a perfect example: “Who’s Britannica to tell me the Panama Canal was finished in 1914? If I want to say it happened in 1941, that’s my right. I don’t trust books. They’re all fact, no heart.” It’s always important for you to avoid

Several of my friends have given names to their cars, and I know many other people who have bestowed appellations on their homes, their vacuum cleaners, their favorite trees and their genitals. In Norse mythology, the god Thor affectionately called his magic golden hammer by the name Mjollnir. It so happens that this would be a ripe time for you to experiment with this approach, Aquarius. I think you’ll find that as you name your home and car as well as every plant, toaster, traffic light, crow and cloud, that the whole world will become more alive and friendly and helpful.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): “We are what we pretend to be,” wrote author Kurt Vonnegut, “so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” This is excellent advice to keep at the forefront of your awareness during the coming weeks, Pisces. Here’s how I interpret his statement: There’s not necessarily anything wrong with playing a role if that role is in alignment with your highest values. In fact, to make believe that you are the person you want to be is an excellent strategy for actually becoming the person you want to be.

Dear Lola, So there’s this guy. My initial gut instinct was that he was not a man of high personal integrity. Nonetheless, something about him made me wonder if I’d judged him too harshly. I started voluntarily spending time with him, and there was a strong physical attraction between us. However, I wasn’t ready to have sex with him, and I made this crystalclear. To make a long story short, he disrespected that. I believe the word for a situation where a guy doesn’t take “no” to mean “no,” regardless of circumstances, is still rape. He would tell you that that is preposterous, as that is an ugly word and he is a self-described “nice guy.” I feel so very, very hurt. Meanwhile, he wants to continue socializing, which in some regards seems unthinkable. Should I see him again, or should I be seeking professional help for even considering speaking to him again? Victimized in Vergennes Dear Victimized, Date rape is still rape. But the legal terminology is less important than what to do next. Don’t see him again. And if you need support or continue to feel hurt, by all means get help. Love, Lola

men > women 28b >> Star Baby, I want to be THE Star in your universe. Hi. Iam a loveable and beautiful 4-year-old female Rottweiler/Lab mix. I am a sweet girl with people, but generally I don’t get along with other dogs. So I need to be the only dog in the house. I would enjoy living with older children (10 and up), but may be too much for younger, smaller kids. I am affectionate, social, and confident. Before coming to HSCC I spent most of my life outdoors. Therefore, I will need to work on my housetraining and would probably do best if crated when left alone. I have learned to jump over fences – uh-oh – so will need to be supervised when outside, as all dogs should be. I am mellow and loveable, friendly and social, and would enjoy reward-based training, and learning to live in a house. My new family will need to carefully manage any interactions with other dogs. Don’t you want a star to shine in your life? Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
