ACT 60 AN ELEGANT SOLUTION Some recent critics of Act 60 have belittled this legislation for not going far enough in moving education funding away from a tax on property, and toward a tax that matches a taxpayer's ability to pay. They have disparaged one of the crucial parts of Act 60 — the 2 percent-of-income ceiling on property taxes paid by anyone making $75,000 or less — as a mere Band-Aid. I'd like to point out that most property tax reformers wanted to switch to an income tax to fund education, but had to compromise in the face of STRAIGHT THINKING adamant opposition from Gov. Dean and many Kudos to Joy Livingston [Weekly Senate Republicans.

least a formal introduction. The Vermont-made movie is making the rounds on an epic statewide tour that will hit every commercial movie theater in the state — all 18 of them. Where there is no theater, the film will play town halls. Last weekend, the movie was projected on a white wall in Chelsea. It goes to Guildhall this weekend. Then on to Barton, Orleans, Hardwick. Although most of the dates are still up in the air, "We will not get out of the Northeast Kingdom until April," predicts Toby Simpkins of Kingdom County Productions. By then filmmaker Jay Craven will certainly have set a record for "post-screening discussions." He will also have a "Spirit of New England" award for his contribution to the vitality of filmmaking in the region. The New England Film and Video Festival is honoring Craven this April in Boston. "I don't think there is anybody more qualifying or deserving than Jay to receive the first award of its kind," says managing director Devon Damonte. Plenty of other film festivals — the L.A. Independent, South by Southwest and Santa Barbara — have expressed similar interest in Stranger. Not to mention the Bessies, the Burlington City Arts-sponsored version of the Academy Awards, scheduled for the last Wednesday in April at the Radisson. New guidelines for submissions and judging will make Stranger one of only a handful of Vermont films that will qualify for competition this year. Also, a smaller, sawier group will be filling out the envelopes — people who have actually seen all the movies and plays they are being asked to evaluate. Look for Loranne Turgeon among the gliterati. Two weeks into her new job as head of the Vermont Film Commission, she is already lobbying for the tax incentive bill that would make the state more attractive to film projects. Her first public appearance is Thursday at 5 in the Statehouse Cafeteria. "Beauty is one factor in picking a place to shoot. One of the other key issues is monetary," says Turgeon, who grew up in Newport. "If they can find something that looks similar, like Virginia, but costs less — they'll take Virginia."

"Wadjet" watchers may have
spotted the beautiful Burlington-made board game in the holiday gift catalogue for the National Geographic Society last month. But seven other catalogue picked up the outsized Egyptian-flavored archaeological adventure designed by Dee Pomerleau. With no sales force to speak of, Wadjet has found its way to the British Museum in London, the National Museum of Denmark, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the new Discovery Channel store opening next month in Washington, D.C. Pomerleau spent most of December jetting around the country for signings at various Neiman Marcus stores. "It was a wonderful first year. "We sold many thousands of games," Pomerleau says, noting the success rate for new board games is one in 3000. Next month, she is unveiling the second design in the series — a Mayan adventure in Central America. The finished game will be ready next September, just in time for Christmas.

submission is hers, shared with husband Woody "Woodhead" Keppel. "We went outside, cleared away some snow and had a barbecue. It was an adventure," she says. "I heard of another couple who went out into their car with a portable TV and a bottle of Beaujolais and watched "The Simpsons." Send your story to 322 Oak Hill Road, Charlotte, V T 05445 . . . "Why Julia? Why not me?" For years, it was the central question in the life of chef extraordinaire Madeleine Kamman. Now living outside Burlington, the 76-year-old founder of the School for American Chefs came off a little less fierce last week in The New York Times. Food writer Molly O'Neill describes "the superego of modern America's food revolution" as she prepares a lunch of roasted chicken and carmelized endive. It is the profile of a reformed perfectionist. "I don't want anything I cant have," O'Neill quotes from Kamman, "except that I can't have the Alps in Vermont." ®

t makes sense that a city the size of Burlington would have someone looking after the trees, but the fact that few of us had given it much thought before illustrates another way in which we take things for granted in modern life. "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone," sang prophetic folk poetess Joni Mitchell, and, indeed, this storm jolted everyone out of complacency about its primary victims: treps. Spinner estimates that 45 to 50 percent of the public trees in the Burlington area sustained damage — the worst disaster since Dutch elm disease. While the restoration of lights, heat and showers soon assuages our individual laments of inconvenience and discomfort wrought by the storm, a brief walk around town provides reminders that won't go away any time soon. It's like a war zone, people are saying, in which only the trees were attacked. Perhaps the tragedy's lone silver lining is the opportunity it has presented to rally the citizenry around the cause of their urban canopy. Now, it seems, we can't learn enough fast enough about trees. Warren Spinner is happy to oblige. Well, happy may not be the operative word; he probably took the aboreal •assault *r more ,- ' personally than most. "While the effects of the storm can be reflected in everyone's eyes," says his colleague Steven Sinclair, a forester at the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation in Waterbury, "they are even more so in Warren's. In essence, for him every tree in the city has a name." Now in his 19th year as the arborist/project manager for Parks & Rec — the steward of all vegetation in Burlington — the man on a first-name basis with the city's trees acknowledges how hard it has been to witness their devastation, to calculate the costs, both financial and aesthetic. "It was difficult for me to drive around me and see the trees," he says. "You see a lot of the efforts you put in destroyed, and ironically Mother Nature is the one who destroyed it." But the pragmatic Spinner's not one to waste time philosophizing; he's got a lot of work to do. And though his arborist role earns him what artist Andy Warhol so wryly dubbed "15 minutes of fame," he's not exactly hogging the spotlight; tree care is everybody s business, he insists. Spinner lauds the multi-department clean-up teams, his fellow professionals, tree advocates in the activist group Branch Out Burlington, and the volunteers who have -Participated in Burlington's January

innovative tree-planting program — first established under Mayor Bernie Sanders in the early '80s. Since 1983, he says with a note of pride, "we've planted 3500 trees." During the storm, Spinner says, "I thought about Burlington as a whole and what people had put into it, all the volunteer hours...there's no way I can feel all the pain. I couldn't have done it all by myself, and I have to express my appreciation for all the help. It's nice," he adds, "to be involved in a city where it seems like everyone cares, not just you." The biggest disappointments for him personally? Spinner notes the severe damage to an American Elm at Ethan Allen Park — "there's not many of them left in the city," he says. Another was hard-hit at the H.O. Wheeler School. "There were multi-tree tragedies among the red pines at Leddy Park," he adds, "right around the tennis courts." In general, the younger, more pliant trees with smaller mass took less of a beating than older, larger trees. "More mass equals more ice," Spinner observes; a coating of threequarters to one inch of ice adds some serious weight. Some of the biggest have fallen like elderly citizens.

For a guy who's lost hundreds of trees — and a lot of sleep — he's remarkably composed during a recent interview. But, dressed in layers, and a portable phone by his side, Spinner seems ready to leap into action. When the Mayor declared a state of emergency, he explains, his department, Public Works and Burlington Electric responded together, first to resolve dangerous situations involving power lines and to clear streets and public right-ofways. Five private crews with log loaders and dump trucks have the job of hauling the debris to Burlington's McNeil woodchip plant, where, tossed into what is essentially a big Cuisinart, former tree limbs are transformed, ironically, into power for the city. The cost of the storms immediate damages and cleanup are still being assessed — Spinner guesses at least

Among the city's population of 6500 street trees alone (not including those in public parks), Spinner estimates that 10-20 percent may be lost. Calculating the average tree — 8-10 inches in diameter, 25-30 years old — to be worth $1200, that could mean over $1.5 million dollars just to replant streetside, not including the costs of boring out and removing dead tree stumps.
T
he good news is, everyone wants to help. "There's been such a public outcry," Spinner notes, that essentially "there just needs to be a pot' for people to throw donations into." Corporations want to give; musicians want to perform a benefit concert; citizens want to know what they should do. Luckily, the city already has tree advocates who are eager to lead the way.

height and crown spread of the tree. Spinner has his eye on a common hackberry at the corner of Pine and Main and a white fir on Mansfield Avenue, but this year he had planned to search out a green ash at Apple Tree Point — an area hard-hit by the storm. But awareness projects and contests are far from the whole story, Spinner notes. "Branch Out has been helpful to me [for] the citizen participation from the seven wards in Burlington," he says. "They can go back to their neighborhoods and share with people the information about tree projects. We've probably accomplished 10 different tasks." Margaret Skinners interest in the city's trees grew out of a personal commitment to weeding around Perkins Pier, where she runs. "Usually we assume

can't help themselves: Breakaway keep drawing aces. T h e Burlington bluegrass boys were happy to learn that David Royko (son o f the late syndicated columnist Mike), w h o uses the pen name David Duckman, rated their 1 9 9 7 self-released Watershed number two in his end-of-year best-of column in the Chicago Tribune (Jason Carter s On the Move, on Rounder Records, nailed number one). Royko had seen the band perform last fall at the International Bluegrass Music Association conference — a huge annual bluegrass blowout at which Breakaway played five showcase gigs. "It takes seeing someone live to know they're for real," he told mandolinist A n d y Sacher, w h o incidentally hails f r o m Royko's 'hood in the W i n d y City. Guess he knows the real thing when he sees it. But that's not all the postholiday cheer: Breakaway also got a management deal in their stocking — with Maryland's Cool Creek Entertainment, which represents some of the baddest bluegrassers going. Cool beans, as they say in high school.

I walk the heaped roads and do not look up. Spring will come and leaves unfurl, and for a moment of grief I will believe it is not the trees that have changed — only the shape of earth, the long reach of lake, the gorged sky.

he ice storm of the century brought the most self-sufficient people to their knees, figuratively speaking. But never mind a natural disaster — some people need a little help all the time. Which is exactly what the enterprising Bill Kilgour was thinking when he started a service he aptly named Surrogate Son. "Bill's help has given my uncle a little more independence," declares Jeannine McCarthy, referring to 85-yearold Andrew Marrier of Burlington. Marrier has employed Kilgour for the past few-months to take him to Hannaford's to shop, to escort him to early mass, to visit his friends — some of them at the cemetery — and to drive to favorite places. In short, Kilgour w his "surrogate son." Kilgour began his service just four months ago. His mission? To help elderly people lead happier, more independent lives. "This is a flexible, personal service," he says. "It's not about what I plan to do." Kilgour's key questions for his clients are "What is it you need? What's most important to you now?"
Surrogate Son actually grew out of his personal experience helping his mother in Newburgh, New York, after the death of his father. "My mother was overwhelmed and exhausted," he says. "She preferred remaining in her home of 35 years, but I thought, as I drove from Vermont, that I would suspend my life for a year, help sell the house, and get my mother settled in a new place." Instead Kilgour listened to her ver-
the oil needed changing in her car, and repaired the lint filter on her dryer," he recalls. "It worked like a B12 shot." With some of the weight lifted from her shoulders, Kilgour's mother told him people would pay for these services. Four days later, instead of the anticipated year away, Bill was back in Vermont preparing a business plan and brochure. Among the quotes recommending him is one from his mom, Lola Kilgour. "All of the pieces of the past seven
the strength and humor and courage of old people," he notes, acknowledging that his clients are often reluctant to ask family and friends for those things that don't seem 'important enough.'" Yet "if those little things don't get accomplished," he adds, "it colors their day." Kilgour asks his clients to keep a running "want list" for him, and then they decide together on the most efficient use of his time. Kilgour markets his services to local
"I love the
strength
and humor and courage of old people/'
An estimated 25 million Americans are caring for their aging parents, more than a quarter of them at long distance. At the same time, more and more elderly citizens express a desire to stay in their own homes. Thus, as Kilgour recognized, the need for reliable caregivers is intense.

these green spaces are not our responsibility and there's nothing we can do," she says. "To make Burlington the most beautiful place it can possibly be, it takes a little help from all of us," she adds. "It would be great to have a community organization to help facilitate links between the trees and the city's peo} r ^ That organization could be BOB, which despite its humorous acronym is seriously dedicated to the city's urban forest, though Skinner stresses its independence from city government. The ice storm has given BOB more reason to exist than ever, and will likely help it attract new members. The current group meets this week to plan an early February informational meeting for the public; regular meetings are the first Monday of the month at the Perkins Pier Water Treatment Facility at 6:30 p.m. "Burlington has the best of both worlds: Warren Spinner and Branch Out," says forester Steve Sinclair, who was also instrumental in getting BOB off the ground. Noting that Rutland is the only other Vermont municipality with an official arborist — though many towns have a Sinclair maintains that "Burlington in terms of urban forest is premier." While most of the ice : . storm clean-up has so far focused on public property, Sinclair underlines the importance of education for private citizens. What he fears most is that people will panic and cut down trees unnecessarily, or succumb to "anyone with a chainsaw and a pick-up trying to make a quick buck." Trees take a long time to grow, he notes. "With all the publicity, there hasn't been the message out there for homeowners. As devastating as [the storm] has been to city trees, it's equally or more so for private trees; if y ou think ofth P e urban forest

didn't think of spitting as one of my acquired running skills until the other day when running with a friend who saw me spit. "Ooooo, you can spit," she exclaimed, clearly impressed. She had tried it once, in a race, but a big gobber dribbled down her chin and landed on her shoe, humiliating her so much that she never tried to spit again. I told her that it was one of the things I had worked on during my secret apprenticeship as a runner. * * .1 "vI tell people I run so I can eat whatever I want, but I really run because of the swaggering, spitting, jubilant person that running releases in me. The kid I never was back when I was a kid, and never expected to be now, at 43. In a recent movie The Ice Storm, I was moved by the scene in which a fortysomething mother climbs on a bicycle after seeing her teen-aged daughter ride by. She doesn't get on the bike for the exercise, but to see if me. Anyhow, I wanted to be one of she can recapture that wild feeling she those people churning along. I bought has suddenly remembered: of speed, of wind pulling the tears out of the corners of her eyes, of danger. In fact it works a little too well, and in her exhilaration she goes into a drugstore and shoplifts. I have cold and exercise-induced asthma and in my childhood, even though I was a fast runner and reasonably good at several sports, half the time I would

decent sneakers. I covertly watched 'real' runners to see if there was anything I could learn. And, I practiced spitting. Spitting is not the sort of thing that girls generally know how to do. But when my body gets warmed up, 20 minutes or so into it, I'm suddenly awash in mucus. Anyhow, I had three options, swallow, suffocate or learn to spit. By the time I went out on the roads I had learned to spit reasonably well. Not quite up to Desert Storm accuracy, but good enough. So back to my friend. "Tell me how you do it?" she implored. I tried to tell her. A successful spit is composed of a good accumulation of snot, a little bit of air, and a good push with the tongue through semi-closed teeth. Although guys make that "hoick" sound to jazz things up, like Bruce Lee yelling as he rockets into a big kick, it's a nice detail, but not essential. A good spit means your lips stay dry. It's also wise to take note of the wind, aim leeward, and make sure nobody is standing too nearby. A sociological note: While working on this essay, I saw The Titanic. As part of his seduction of the lovely Rose, Jack teaches her to spit.

end up gasping on the side-lines. At summer camp up on Lake Willoughby, I had the humiliating experience of almost not getting my Junior Lifesaving certificate because I couldn't jump into the frigid water; I had to get in s-l-o-w-l-y to perform my emergency rescue. Even after I had meds that totally controlled my wheezing, the feelings of fear and inadequacy remained. To get exercise, I became a dedicated walker. I fell into running in my thirties. After a miscarriage I went for R & R to this resort on St. John where you live in a tent cabin on a hillside. There were about 150 steps down to the beach. The first few days the steps drove me crazy, but by the end I was charging up and down several times a day. When we got home I added a brisk walk up a steep forest road to my daily outing with the dog. One day, I don't know why — probably I was late — I decided to run down. It's strange how simply adding a bounce to your stride changes everything. I suppose a sports doctor could explain the physiology, but by the time I got to the bottom of that hill I was f l y i n g . Better yet, my worries were left. behind like Pigpen's dirt cloud blown away on a strong breeze. When I walk, unless I make an effort, my brain doesn't shift gears much from the way it is at rest. But when I run, my mind automatically empties itself. It's that much harder than walking, I guess, so that all my energy goes into staying upright. For months I ran in secret in the woods and around a couple of meadows, but as I ran faster, the roads, with their smooth surfaces began to lure

Her figures are simply objects. In the modern world, such a point of view can have chilling connotations, but throughout art history, this was the point of view of many of the greatest still-life painters, as well as some of the first photographers, who considered the medium to be capable of producing art.
"Morphous 1, " by Nancy Sansom Reynolds. I Reynolds creates shapely, organic forms that were painstakingly layered from slices of wood in a technical process that defies any easy explanation. The pieces are so precise that they seem to have defined their own contours by growing that way like fungi, or the horns of a ram. It would be easy to think that the artist simply scavenged them on a mountainside rather than crafted them in her studio, Reynolds also conceptually questions die notions of "inside" and "outside" inherent in three-dimensional works; she makes that distinction so pronounced that it paradoxically vanishes.

"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. — Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900), collaborator
THE PEOPLE ay what you will about the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Nelson Mandela or the episode of "Ellen" in which DeGeneres came out of the closet; the most significant moment in recent history, if you ask me, was Friday, January 9, 10 p.m. That's more or less when the power in my South Burlington home came back on, after many frosty hours spent appreciating the natural beauties of the recent recordbreaking ice storm. Anyone who went through what my family and I did knows precisely what I mean: When roads are unpassable, the lights, TV, C D player, stove, refrigerator, toaster oven, washer, dryer and PowerMac are as dead as epic Latin verse, your daughter, who doesn't yet speak, can't figure out why the V C R won't play her Cabbage Patch tapes, and the premium cheese you purchased for a special occasion begins to smell eerily similar to the same daughter's diaper pail, all the great opera, immortal paintings and Pulitzer Prize-winning novels in the world don't do you a

bit of good. Life stinks. It's cave man time. Prehistoric, difficult, but mostly just boring. And it's going to stay that way until the electricity magically returns. The fragility, the precariousness of the whole deal — that's what hits you at a time like that. And I'll tell you, nothing bugged me more than seeing my life reduced to a weatherdependent condition — and being unable to switch on a television to hear exactly what those weather conditions were. Normally, I watch the weather about as often as I watch sports or the stock reports, which is to say only slightly more often than I watch beauty product infomercials. Tom Messner is a god among men, but I generally figure I'll find out what the weather's going to be like tomorrow when I wake up. How quickly all that changes when the ice storm of the century rolls around. Suddenly, I couldn't hang on his every syllable enough; his every nuance and intonation
resonated with Nostradamuscalibre significance. And when the power did go out, I was more than just worried, angry, annoyed and increasingly cold: I was isolated. In the midst of hundreds of homes, my family and I were suddenly alone. The television no longer told us what was happening around us, nor what was happening to other people farther away, nor what was like-
ly to happen the next day. It was silent. Black, blank, mute as a gravestone. I realized then one of the reasons a power outage is so profoundly unnerving: It's a metaphor for our own mortality. Another was the fact that the juice went out on a Thursday evening and — speaking of existential crises — there are only so many prime-

time episodes of "Seinfeld" left. So, like everyone else, we froze for awhile. Lit candles. Practiced the lost art of conversation. Then we packed our bags, piled into the Saab and made for the Inn at Essex at warp speed. And let me just say, when we walked into our room, the electric light was nice, the heat was nifty and the bottomless supply of hot water was neato. But it was when I sat down in front of the T V with a live remote in my hand and, a second later, when the picture clicked on and Tom, Cindy, Gib and the whole Storm Center gang were there again, that hope returned to my heart and a tiny tear appeared in my eye. The storm was so bad that the Weather Channel dispatched a team to the Comfort Inn on Williston Road and, from the parking lot, told the world what life was like around here for the next few days (maybe the absence of Comfort Inns is why they didn't choose

needed someone to help me negotiate my front steps, get me into the back seat of my car, and drive me to appointments. While working on a research project on issues affecting older Vermonters, I complained about not being able to locate any such transportation service in the Burlington area. Asking my friends for rides in the middle of their work days was growing tiresome, and my grown children live far away. W h e n I contacted Kilgour, he informed me I'm not exactly in his target age group. But he had some time available and agreed to pick me up from physical therapy three times a week. He routinely arrived early to learn what exercises I needed, and practiced them with me under the direction of my physical therapist, Michael Dee, so that he could work with me at home a couple of times a week. The administrator at HealthSouth, a physical thera-
the harder-hit Isle La Motte?). Across the country millions of people viewed the otherworldly footage of stooped, ice-shellacked trees, of overworked power crews soldiering on, of Vermont neighbor helping neighbor. And from coast to coast, millions surely thought
to themselves, thank God that's not me — the same way I do when I watch the effects of some earthquake, tornado or flood that has made life stink in some far-off place. This time it was me. Except when the T V worked. And then it wasn't just] me; it was us. Newspeople tried to tell us what was happening. Forecasters tried to tell us what would happen next. Weary Vermonters shared stories of suffering, inconvenience and communal effort. For several days in early January, everybody talked about the weather. And to the extent that people talking about it on T V made the rest of us feel a little less alone, a little less in the dark, think it's fair to say they were doing something about the weather, too.

py facility in South Burlington, Dee was so impressed by Kilgour's understanding of the exercise program, he asked him to take on the care of one of the clinic's homebound elderly clients, 71-year-old Alison Barclay of Shelburne. It didn't take Barclay long to be sold. "I like him," she says of Kilgour. "He has a new way of looking at things. He removed a shower door and added noBj skid strips to my bathroom tiles, which makes the process of taking a shower less stressful." "Bill has expertise and compassion," says Dee, "and he has a sense of how he fits into the whole picture of fan1' ily, nurses and other health professionals." Barclay has children and grandchildren ifc the area, but, like most people, they have their own full schedules. Besides, Dee adds, pushing someone to their limits in physical therapy often takes a non-family member. "Some' times," he notes, "it takes an ] outsider to be a son." ®

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Here's the latest bit of wisdom from my sixyear-old daughter Zoe, revealed to me as we both swung upside-down from the monkey bars: "Life never brings you anything that's either all good or all bad." I not only agree with her, I regard her words as a central spiritual truth. As a corollary, I would add this: If anyone or anything seems to you to be either all good or all bad, you can be sure you're not seeing the whole picture. Ironically, an unheard-of exception to this law will probably occur this week. You're about to encounter strokes of fate that'll come breathtakingly close to being all good.

all, one of the most favorable times in many moons for you to speak — and listen — to powers beyond your understanding.
CANCCR (June 21-July 22): Darryl, a Cancerian from Nashville, wrote to tell me that his New Year's resolution is "to get out of my own way." I can't think of a better allpurpose vow for the entire Crab tribe. Next to Pisceans, you folks are the zodiac's champions at being your own worst enemy. When your self-doubt doesn't undermine your stellar efforts, your urge to run away and hide does. Fortunately, 1 9 9 8 will present you with some of the best-ever astrological aspects for breaking free from the chokeholds of your inner demons. And the next few weeks could very well bring a karma-rattling showdown between you and them. L€0 (July 23-Aug. 22): If you are currendy manacled spread-eagled to an iron your uuujr body uuii cross UUJO in iii a dungeon, uuugtuu, ^uui shrouded with Saran Wrap while a rough-looking character in a leather
Stealth Bomber is a prodigious hightech creation — except of course for its ill-conceived thermoplastic skin, which falls apart in the rain. I bring this up, Virgo, as an example of what to avoid as you put the finishing touches on your own masterpiece. Make damn sure that its beauty and originality are matched by its functionality. Don't send it out into the world until you've double-checked for and corrected any flaws that would defeat its purpose.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It won't be a good week to decorate your thigh with a sloppy tattoo of the devil pushing a lawnmower, nor would it be a favorable time to wolf down greasy burgers alone in a dirty bathtub while fantasizing about making love to an inaccessible idol. It will, however, be a propitious moment to add a shot of refined beauty to your personal appearance or to share fresh grapes in a sparkling jacuzzi with a very available and genuine soul. SCORPIO

couple weeks. Nevertheless, I'm here to tell you the truth, not to worry about h o # you deal with the truth. Therefore, here it is: Nothing would be better for your mental and physical health than to curl into a fetal position and wrap yourself up in a warm fuzzy pink blanky — metaphorically as well as actually. To keep the tormented, roguish side of your personality happy,

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov 22-Dec 21): According to ritualist Sobonfu Somd and therapist Julia Weller, 1 9 9 8 is a "Nature" year in the Dagara cosmology of West Central Africa. "What masks have been imposed upon us by our loved ones and culture?" is a good question to ask yourself in the next 12 months, they say, along with "What masks have we ourselves chosen?" If they're right and this is a favorable time for everyone to remove their disguises and reveal the curious beauty that lies beneath, it's doubly propitious for you, Sagittarius. My reading of the astrological aspects suggests that this'll be a year when you could and should drop hundreds of pretenses.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When Benjamin Franklin (a Capricorn) wasn't serving as a highlevel diplomat or struggling to free America from British rule, he directed his attention to less glamorous tasks like building better watering troughs for horses and figuring out how to keep the streets cleaner. When his cohorts complained that he was wasting his time on trivial concerns, Franklin answered as follows: "Human felicity is not produced so much by grand pieces o f good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day" Exactly my sentiments as I muse on your next few weeks, Capricorn. "Litde by little" is your power mantra. (Thanks to UCLA history prof Eugen Weber for the info on Franklin.)

minutes." Maybe you would be so amused by my gift, and so eager to abide by its philosophy, that you would stop living your life as if you were permanently wearing a T-shirt that says "Out of body. Back in five days." I've hinted at it before, Aquarius, and I'll bash you over your headspace with it now: 1 9 9 8 can and should and must be the year you come down to earth and fully inhabit your flesh more regularly than you ever have before.
PISCCS
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): My Pisces friend Gala recently confessed that 12 years ago she had a vision of a past life in which we had been together. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" I asked, surprised. "Because I'm not proud of what happened," she said. "You were the leader of a peasant rebellion in feudal Germany. I was the beautiful daughter of the greedy baron you were fighting against. You fell in love with me, we got married, and all your revolutionary fervor got sucked out of you. Sorry about that." W h o knows if Gala's story is true? Just in case it is, I think she should immediately make amends to me. After all, it's the part of the Piscean cycle when most of you Fish would benefit from atoning for your old sins. (PS. to Gala: One path to redemption might be to stage a radical uprising of your own.) (?) , You can call Rob day or night for

What is lactose intolerance, and how do I know if I have it? In just the past year, new research has put what was once called "lactose intolerance" in a whole new light, according to Kathy Bacchus, a nutritionist with the New England Dairy Council. Previously, to determine if a persons body couldn't cope well with lactose — which is found in milk and milk products — a test was done in which the patient drank a quart of rnilk on an empty stomach. Eventually, a sawy group of scientists figured out that plenty of people would feel sick after that test, so they modified the test to a more realistic measure, and found that there is actually a range of lactose tolerance: Some people could happily gulp down pailfuls and beg for more, while on the other end of the spectrum a few people can't even dish up a little half and half without getting sick. Of course, some people choose to go vegan — not eating any by-products of animals, including milk — for a variety of reasons. But unless you choose to do this, you may want to be able to have a little yogurt or ice cream. If you're lactose-intolerant, instead of absorbing and using lactose for fuel, your body passes it through the digestive system without digesting it. The lactose can then cause a range of gastrointestinal problems, including gas, bloating and diarrhea. This happens because of a missing or deficient enzyme: lactase, which normally breaks down the lactose so it can be absorbed and used by the body. Most lactose intolerance can be blamed on those pesky genetics: You can inherit the trait that tells your body to stop making lactase. This congenital form of lactose intolerance usually shows up pretty early in life, sometimes even in infants, who show a failure to thrive until lactose-containing foods are eliminated from their diets (breast milk contains lactose). It can also go undetected until a child is about six years old, but then it kicks in, launching the parents on a tour of diagnosis and treatment/ . Of note, northern and western Europeans, and their descendants, don t carry the gene for lactose intolerance native Americans. v Less frequently, lactose intolerance is caused by other
