As founding member of the International Society to Prevent Pun Abuse, I feel it is my duty to inform you that your paper is under consideration for the ISPPAs "Worst Pun Abuser" award. There are several things you can do to prevent receiving this shameful award. The following puns are never to be used in your paper again: 1. When referring to anything to do with cinema: the substitution of the word "reel" for "real." For the sake of all persons who love cinema, just don't ever use this moronic play on words. 2. When referring to the Beat Generation in general and Joyce Johnson in particular: The phrase "And the beat goes on" should in no circumstances be used. 3. As seen in the January 9 issue, the subhead "Getting the Hang of It" and the phrase "Even without wheels, you won't be board." Please don't ever do this again. Ever. Now, if you simply wrote "bored" instead of "board" the pun would have been more subtle and slightly more acceptable. You've been warned. 4. Again in the January 9 issue, the headline "Watts Up." This is almost acceptable, as the article does have to do with electricity.

However, the reference to a pitifully poor beer commercial is just bad taste. 5. January 9 again, "Chili Factor." Not funny, not even that clever. These are just a few examples of the type of lower-than-low-brow humor that has members of the Burlington community up in arms. Being clever is no substitute for having intelligent things to say. Thank you.

— Matthew McDermott Founder, International Society to Prevent Pun Abuse (ISPPA) (Ed. note: OK, Mr. Smarty Pants, you try coming up with these headlines week after week after week and see if you don't get just a teensy bit weary!)

GOOD RIDDANCE TO "HIS LORDSHIP" Two pieces in your January 9 issue caught my attention: "Inside Track" and "Watts Up." Peter Freyne refers to Howard Dean as "his Lordship." There are many reasons the title is appropriate. This is not the first time Dean has refused to release public information. Previously, he took his anti-democratic belief in "executive privilege" to the Vermont Supreme Court to hide his suspicious deci-

The anti-democratic, human rights-violating, arrogant behavior of Howard Dean means there are any number of Vermonters who will be glad to be rid of him. Hopefully we won't be stuck with him as president... Good riddance, Howard. Maybe, given his utility experience, Dean can get a job at Enron.

WAIVING FLAG AMENDMENT After reading your piece [Inside Track, January 9] about the antiflag-burning resolution now being considered at the Statehouse (yet again!), I've got a newsflash for Sen. Julius Canns. He and other supporters of the resolution are calling upon Congress to commit an illegal act. Sen. Dick McCormack only scratched the surface when he said that "The so-called flag amendment really isn't about the flag, it's really about monkeying with the First Amendment." The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled time and again that Congress has no constitutional authority to outlaw activities that are fully protected by the First Amendment, no matter how reprehensible some of those activities can be.

NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION

sion-making process in deciding to use the full force of the Governor's office in supporting the foolhardy contract with Hydro-Quebec for what he misrepresented as "cheap" electricity. Vermonters have been exporting many energy dollars to Quebec ever since... The "Watts Up" article shows the deliberate waste of electricity promoted by Hydro-Quebec, facilitated by Howard Dean along with millions of dollars from Vermont ratepayers' pockets. "Setting the night ablaze..." is just another way H - Q increases its visibility and revenue. Not only has Vermont's (and Dean's) support of Hydro-Quebec encouraged the company to further destroy Quebec wilderness and violate the human rights of native people (Cree, Inuit and Innu), but it has encouraged other provinces to do the same in the hope of tapping into the "market" of "rich" Americans who demand more and more electricity. For example, Manitoba is planning to flood the traditional lands of the Cross Lake Cree in order to sell "cheap" electricity to the state of Minnesota. Kenny Miswaggon of the Cross Lake band said, "Hydro (Manitoba) brags about cheap power that benefits the South. This cheap power is coming on the backs of our people."

Lobbying Ethics? Most of the distinguished hired-gun, contract business lobbyists who buzz through the Statehouse honeycomb on a daily basis readily acknowledge that their role is similar to that of whores. They provide a service for a price and do their best to keep the customer satisfied. But make no mistake — even among whores there is honor and a fundamental sense of right and wrong. "Lobbying ethics" is not an oxymoron. And last week the buzz among the bees was all about one distinguished contract lobbying firm's unusual, and some say "unethical," list of clients. Capital Strategies is the name of the outfit. The principals are Betsy Bishop, her mom Susan Auld (the Republican Howard Dean beat back in 1986 to win the lieutenant governor's race) and Will Adams. The firm is registered to represent more than a dozen business interests. Among them are the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Care Systems, the State Chamber of Commerce and the Vermont Distributors Association. What many insiders were scoffing at last week was the obvious conflicts of interest that particular dance card presents. For example, the Hospital Association frowns on tobacco addiction and supports a big increase in the states cigarette tax, currently the lowest in the region. But the State Chamber opposes a cigarette tax hike, and so does the Distributors Association, whose members stock the states shelves with cigarettes, retail snacks and health and beauty aids. Interesting, eh? "There are any number of curious combinations among lobbyists," veteran State Rep. Ann Seibert (D-Norwich) told Seven Days. But the client list of Capital Strategies, said Seibert, "is really a conflict that falls in the category of, 'Who are you lobbying for today?'" Seibert, a staunch anti-tobacco legislator, knows that tobacco interests "are not interested in increasing the tobacco tax, which I understand is a priority of the Hospital Association. I think the public would be stunned," she said. Even veteran Big Tobacco lobbyist W i l l i a m Shouldice Sr. of Shouldice & Associates appeared stunned by the odd assortment of clients. Big Bad Bill is the Philip Morris point man under the golden dome. "Of course it's an ethical conflict," Mr. Shouldice told Seven Days when queried about the Capital Strategies client line-up. Being a watercarrier on both sides of an issue is an impossible task, he said. Several other business lobbyists who asked not to be identified noted that if Auld, Bishop and Adams were a law firm, they couldn't possibly get away with representing such diametrically opposed interests. • But Betsy Bishop assured us it's all perfectly kosher. "As long as the parties involved have an understanding," Ms. Bishop told Seven Days, there's no conflict. "This is between Capital Strategies and our clients." Bishop said her clients are "knowledgeable" about other clients her firm represents at the Statehouse. "We have an agreement," she said. Asked what that agreement is, Ms. Bishop replied, "I don't want to get into that with you." So we contacted the president of the Hospital Association, Marie Beatrice Grause. Ms. Grause, a nurse and lawyer, has been on board just three months. She previously worked on Capitol Hill. "I come from Washington, D.C.," she told Seven Days, "and these kinds of conflicts exist on a day-to-day basis." The way they handle it in Foggy Bottom, said Ms. Grause, is lobbyists "create firewalls." For example, she said, "Betsy does not lobby on the cigarette tax" issue for the hospitals. While Ms. Bishop

and Mr. Adams "may do some monitoring" on the tobacco tax issue, she said, "Betsy will have no involvement whatsoever. That will be my personal mission." President Grause noted we were not the first to raise this ethical issue with her. She said she has had "long and detailed discussions" with Ms. Bishop about a possible conflict and is "comfortable" with the arrangement. "I find Capital Strategies to be a very ethical business," said Grause. Cool. If it works in Washington, D.C., then surely it'll work in Montpeculiar. And good news to report on Mr. Adams' criminal troubles. You may recall Wili was arrested at his Hartford home last February and charged with simple assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. Adams pled not guilty. The case has wound its way through the system. In the end, Adams admitted to the charge and was given diversion. As a first-time offender, his record will be erased if he keeps his nose clean. According to Windsor County Deputy States Attorney Matthew Huntington, "Court diversion will give Mr. Adams an opportunity to meet with a board of community members, as well as the police officers affected, and take responsibility for what he did wrong." The prosecutor said that if Adams "successfully completes the program, he'll avoid a criminal conviction on his record. In light of his clean record, I think this course is a just one." Asked about the outcome this week, Mr. Adams replied, "I don't think there's a need for a response."

Inside Track

BY PETER FREYNE

Douglas Rewrites History! — In his latest directmail fundraising letter, Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jim Douglas opens fire on Democrat Lt. Gov. Doug Racine, but manages to simultaneously shoot himself in both feet. Mr. Douglas goes negative in the January 15 two-page pitch, charging, "It would be dangerous to have Racine as a governor" of Vermont. Dangerous? If mild-mannered Doug Racine, Gov-Lite for the past six years, is "dangerous," then Mother Teresa was a terrorist! Good grief. The things politicians will say to get money. But it gets worse. In Slim Jim's signed letter, not only is the name of the state capital of Montpelier misspelled, but Treasurer Douglas asks potential donors to study Racine's "seven-year record in the Vermont Legislature and his two years of service as Lieutenant Governor..." Jeezum crow. Everybody but Jim Douglas knows that Doug Racine served 10 years in the State Senate and is currently in his sixth year as Lite-Gov. Bizarre. Meanwhile, Mr. Douglas' challenger in the G O P primary is back on deck raring to pull off the political upset of the year. Con Hogan spent the opening week of the legislative session tooling around the west of Ireland with his band, Cold Country. King Con's quite the banjo picker. If Hogan wins, expect a musical inaugural.

Survey Says

I Strange Cargo Six passengers were booted J off a. Caribbean-bound cruise ship in Miami for bringing live bees aboard. According to Carnival Cruise Lines spokesperson Jennifer de la Cruz, crewmembers became suspicious after noticing the passengers leaving and reboarding the ship repeatedly, then discovered that each time, they brought back bees — 160 altogether before being caught. The bees were in bottles, de la Cruz said, and the passengers insisted they intended "to use the bees for medicinal reasons."

Mind Over Matter Thinking about exercising can actually increase muscle strength, researchers at Ohio's Cleveland Clinic Foundation reported. They found that volunteers who imagined flexing their biceps measured a 13.5 percent gain in muscle strength. Exercise physiologist Guang Yue explained that since muscles move in response to impulses from nearby motor neurons, which in turn respond to electrical impulses from the brain, "you can increase muscle strength solely by sending a larger signal to motor neurons from the brain."

Forty-six percent of British smokers believe smoking must be safe or else the government wouldn't allow cigarette advertising, according to a poll by the anti-smoking group ASH (Action on Smoking and Health). "It simply beggars belief," ASH public affairs manager John Connolly commented, "that, 40 years after we first found out about the dangers of smoking, half of all smokers still don't appreciate just how dangerous cigarettes are.

T h e Royal Canadian Mounted Police warned that whoever stole $300 worth of tools from an unmanned weather station on Vancouver Island also was exposed to radiation that "could result in permanent damage to soft tissue, i.e., eyes and testicles." Police said the thief ignored warning signs, climbed three barbed-wire fences, cut through a chain-link fence and climbed an 80-foot ladder to enter an area where workers never venture without wearing full body suits. "It's not like body parts are going to fall off," R C M P Cpl. Brain Brown said, "but he is at risk and should seek medical assistance."

Indian barber Ramzan Ali, 35, announced plans to train at least 50 blind boys to cut hair. Explaining that the idea occurred to him after he cut a customer's hair with his eyes closed to demonstrate his mastery of the craft, Ali said he teaches his blind pupils to map the hair with their fingers.

n the second week of each new year, the Middlebury College students return for their J-term — the "J" stands for January. It's a one-month minisemester where the students are encouraged to experiment with a class outside of their established interests and chosen majors. Archery for Russian majors, Chaucer for biochemists, that sort of thing. The geographic placement of the college — 35 miles south of Burlington — is a boon for us local cabbies, because the majority of Middlebury students are flatlanders, and hundreds of them fly into Burlington. The planes land, they pool into groups and we drive them back to school for 15 or 20 bucks apiece. The snow was falling steadily on the Sunday night they came in. As I drove down Route 7, it was thick enough to render the high beams counterproductive. I did try them for a minute, but it was hypnotic and made me feel like I was trapped in a snow globe. Well versed in the slippery dangers posed by these conditions, I motored along at maybe 40 mph on the inclines, 30 or slower on the downhills. Nine students were in the van, which had been rented that day for my use by another independent cabbie.

I enjoy driving the Middlebury students. In one sense, they are mostly what the French call the jeunesse doree — the "gilded youth" — wealthy and sophisticated. It's a rare one who hasn't attended prep school, and they speak casually of expensive houses and cars, summer homes and vacations in exotic locales. What saves them from upper-crust snobbishness is their worldliness, and I mean this in the best sense of the word. Middlebury College is all about government and diplomacy, language and literature. Its

need I say more? "So my little sister is supposedly applying to all these Ivy League schools," the female student continued, "but she's close to flunking out of her prep school. The 'rents are totally clueless. My sister told me she's actually gotten fake grades sent to the house by hacking the school's computer!" We had reached the outskirts of Middlebury, where the road begins its sharp descent into the village proper. The conditions were a perfect mess — icy, snowy, slushy and completely unplowed. This was my first time driving a van in quite a while, and its dubious road traction compared to my trusty sedan was a disconcerting revelation. I found myself pumping the brakes, and still the vehicle began slightly fishtailing to the left. It was nerve-wracking, but I still had basic control and knew it wouldn't get worse.

"What's happening?" a tremulous male voice came from way in the back. "What's going on?" "That's got to be Larry," one of the front bench guys said, rotating in his seat. "Hey, Larry," he continued, "this white stuff is called snow,' and when it accumulates on the road, you tend to slide around some. Don't get your panties all in a bunch." There was friendly laughter throughout the van, including from Larry. We were back on relatively level ground, thank goodness, and the van was behaving itself again. The guy turned back and, leaning forward, said to me, "Larry is a freshman from Hawaii. I think this is the first time in his life he's even seen snow." "Is that right?" I said, as the magnificent array of white-marble college buildings appeared around the bend. The snow glistened and swirled in the street lights. "Larry, my friend," I called out to the back of the van. "This is it, buddy — the real thing. Say

KING PIN: "Vision" is a verb for Gary ChaSSman. "If you can vision it, you can do it," says the Burlington book producer who imagined, organized and oversaw the creation of a traveling art exhibit inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. Chassman was on the scene when the Smithsonian-sponsored "In the Spirit of Martin" opened two weeks ago in Detroit. On Martin Luther King Day, the black leader's widow presented the exhibit catalogue to Laura Bush. Chassman used to sell books on Church Street. Then he started masterminding them, hiring topnotch writers, artists and designers to carry out publishing projects he sold to major houses. "In the Spirit of Martin" started in 1998 as a personal investigation. Considering King as "the only true hero in 20th-century America," Chassman set out to see if he could find artistic evidence of his influence — tangible results of his legacy. "I identified over 2000 responses to his life," he explains, from a ballet to a congressman who gave King credit for her career choice. But it was the visual art tributes that struck him most, works by African-American artists such as Elizabeth Catlett, Glenn Ligon, Romare Bearden, Charles White and Faith Ringgold as well as white artists like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Norman Rockwell. Chassman's book project quickly transformed into a full-scale museum exhibition. He took the idea to the Smithsonian, and miraculously, they bought in. PepsiCo put up the cash. Chassman assembled a "dream" team of curators and scholars who selected artists and writers for the project, which will travel over the next three years to Minneapolis, Brooklyn, Memphis and Montgomery, Alabama. The exhibition catalogue is, naturally, a work of art — with powerful words from poet Nikki Giovanni, the late Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gwendolyn Brooks, Congressman John Lewis and music critic Stanley Crouch. It's on sale at local bookstores . 0 , BROTHERS: True West is a play about double nature. By juxtaposing two estranged and envious brothers — one a hapless drifter, the other a successful screenwriter — Sam Shepard said he "Wanted to give a taste of what it feels like to be two-sided." Actors Kim Bent and Jock MacDonald will experience that phenomenon first-hand in the Lost Nation production that opens Thursday at Montpelier City Hall Arts Center. Every other performance, they switch roles — a schizo scheme inspired by the Broadway revival, which originated the idea. Although it's meant twice as much rehearsal time, "it's interesting to see how the play also invites different possibilities depending on who's playing the role," says Bent. The real trick, of course, will be selling twice as many tickets . . .

SNEAKER PREVIEW: The Nike swoosh is a powerful cultural icon that is "probably more recognizable than the cross at this point," says Pascal Spengemann. That's why the curator of the Firehouse Gallery spends his free time deconstructing — and reconstructing — athletic shoes with the help of Burlington cobbler Matt Renna. By switching around logos and other distinguishing characteristics, he is using "confusion as a way to understanding," as Spengemann puts it. "If you take that swoosh that you are accustomed to seeing, and put it on a pair of Chuck Taylors, it sends all kinds of mixed signals," he says. The sneaky sneaker project is not a critique of capitalism, consumerism or brand fixation. "I love sneakers, that's why I do it. I see them as art objects," Spengemann says. The idea could go the distance. Pflish guitarist Trey Anastasio wore a pair on stage in Albany. New York model Eugene HlltZ, formerly Nikolaev and an erstwhile Burlingtonian, is sporting them, too. Now a high-end sneaker "boutique" in New York is interested in getting in on the action. Alife Rivington Club, which Spengemann describes as "Brooks Brothers for sneakers," wants to commission a couple of pairs. Trouble is, Spengemann wants the "confusion" to continue through the sales transaction. "Like, the price tag is 500 dollars, but your credit card gets charged 50," he explains. "Or maybe if the shoe fits, it's yours..." A "Cinderella" story, indeed. MIDD-CAREER CHANGE: Typically, college alumni magazines are more about "messages from the president" than good writing and bold graphics. But since Rachel Morton took over as editor of the Middlebury mag, it's been one lively feature after another — readers even got riled up about the "class notes" because a couple of gay alums referred to themselves as "lovers." White House Press Secretary and former Midd kid Ari Fleischer is on the cover of the current issue, which is Morton's last. At the end of the month, she takes over as features editor at The Burlington Free Press — her first newspaper job. Hey, it can't be worse than speaking for George Bush. Barring any unforeseen national disasters, Morton says Fleischer plans to attend his 2oth reunion this spring at Middlebury. (7) -

War

of the Words

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

n old-fashioned newspaper war has flared in Addison County, complete with personal innuendo, charges of journalistic bias and accusations of "un-Vermont" and "unAmerican" behavior. The battle pits the well-established Addison Independent, with its award-winning news coverage and liberal editorial policy, against the insurgent Addison Eagle, which has implemented an aggressive marketing strategy in hopes of building an audience for its conservative message. Also on the scene is an uninvolved third party, the Valley Voice, an apolitical, human-interest weekly with a loyal and sizable readership. Local newshounds think Addison County is fortunate to have such vigorous competition among its community newspapers, especially in an age when television and the Internet threaten to supplant print as a medium of information and entertainment. But even the most ardent editorial types doubt that all three papers can survive indefinitely in a county of only 36,000 residents. The row between the twoyear-old Eagle and the Independent, founded in 1946, also highlights the political and cultural shifts that have occurred during the past three decades not only in Addison County but in page 1 0 a

much of Vermont. The sniping began after the Independent ran a house ad in November touting the quality of its news coverage and claiming superior performance as a vehicle for local advertisers. The Independent's self-promo didn't name either of the two other papers, but in a November 21 editorial the Eagle interpreted the blurb as "slick, un-Vermont attack advertising" intended to discredit the new challenger. Independent owner and editor Angelo Lynn fired back November 29. Under the headline "Just Being Upfront," Lynn's signed editorial defended the ad's claims and took direct aim at the Eagle, suggesting that its circulation figures are inflated and charging it with "un-American" journalistic practices. Lynn said he found it "amusing that this Republican-backed paper (which supposedly believes in self-sufficiency and the free market) has long been heavily subsidized." That prompted the Eagle, the following week, to deplore an "unprecedented low point in local editorial writing." The Eagle also reiterated an earlier complaint of "news-rack tampering," claiming that sinister forces bury copies of the Eagle beneath displays of competing publications at local outlets. In its December 13 edition, Eagle "White House Corresponjanuary 2 3 , 2 0 0 2

dent and Media Critic" Les Kinsolving took a shot at Lynn and his brother, Emerson Lynn, publisher of the daily St. Albans Messenger. Recalling the Independent's claim that the Eagle is a Republican-subsidized organ, Kinsolving asked, "Won't this type of attack raise the question of a rumor about the time a Midwestern father purchased two Vermont weeklies (sic) and gave one to each son?" The allegation isn't true, Angelo Lynn replies. He purchased the Independent on his own in 1984, he says, after moving to Vermont from Kansas,

ter The Iola Register, a Kansas daily that has been in the family for four generations,, But even if his Republican father had financed his purchase of the Independent, Angelo Lynn continues, that would still be different from what he says is the subsidized operation of the unprofitable Eagle. "No one is pumping money into the Addison Independent or St. Albans Messenger," Lynn declares. Valley Voice owner and editor Cheryl White, meanwhile, regards this whole contretemps with dismay. "Readers don't like it at all," White says of the Eagle-

tribution to paid subscriptions. At the peak of its effort to attract readers via direct mailings, the Eagle was sending just under 20,000 copies a week through the U.S. Postal Service at a perpaper cost of 14.4 cents, says business manager Dan LaBerge. A smaller number of papers are still being mailed unsolicited on a rotating basis among Addison County towns, but the Eagle intends that readers will soon have to pay 50 cents per copy, or $27.50 for yearly subscriptions. The switchover is occurring "at a time of economic downturn," notes Eagle editor Lou

The brothers Lynn are also co-owners of a Vermont publishing group that puts out two other weekly papers: The Milton Independent and the Essex Reporter. For several years, independently owned Seven Days networked with the group to attract classified advertisers. The Lynns' father is also a veteran newspaperman, who recently passed on to his daugh-

Independent feud. "It would behoove both of them to be more positive toward one another." The wrangling has subsided in the past few weeks, but, given the sharply opposed political philosophies of Lynn and the Eagles combative commentators, few readers would be surprised if the war erupts again.

"The Eagle will kill itself," he predicts. "They tried to buy their audience by saturating every household in the area," Lynn observes. "There's a reason that newspapers don't circulate this way. It's just too expensive to work."

War of the Words continued from page 11a 1987 from Denton Publications — owner of Vermont Times — that had tried unsuccessfully, White says, to combine news from the New York side of Lake Champlain with reports on Addison County. White and her two adult daughters — one of whom has worked at the paper since she was 5 — operate a small business profitable enough to support themselves and to pay the salary of another full-time employee, newswriter and advertising salesman Mike Cameron. The Valley Voice was founded in 1975 as a liberal and more contemporary alternative to the

quency "kills a good news team." Lynn says the Independent's five full-time reporters would bristle at having to wait a full week for their hot stories to hit the streets of Middlebury and Vergennes and the dirt roads of the farm towns along Route 22A. The Eagle, by contrast, relies heavily on Associated Press wire stories in its coverage of Addison County. Varricchio's weekly employs two reporters, and he says newsgathering resources are already "so stretched" that the paper has given no thought to trying to compete with the Independent on a semi-weekly basis. The Eagle does put emphasis on agricultural news, leading its

then-fusty Independent. The Voices first editor was David Moats, who would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his civilunions editorials in the Rutland Herald. Moats, by all accounts, made the Voice a respected and widely read publication. When he left in the early '80s, the paper lost much of its panache. That left an opening for Angelo Lynn, who developed the Independent as a punchier alternative to the Voice. Under White's direction, the Voices focus is markedly different from that of either the Independent or the Eagle. But White's weekly has considerable local appeal. "People like us a lot," the owner and editor says. Indeed, the Voice has the largest claimed circulation of the three Middlebury-based•weeklies, distributing 12,000 copies at convenience stores and other outlets between North Ferrisburgh and Rutland. Lynn points out that neither the Voice nor the Eagle employs an independent auditing company to verify circulation and keep track of returns. Eagle business manager LaBerge puts his paper's current paid and mostly free distribution at around 10,000. The Independent prints between 7000 and 7500 copies, says Angelo Lynn, but its circulation differs significantly from that of the other two papers. All copies of the Independent are purchased, not given away. And the arrival of the Eagle has put no downward pressure on the Independent's sales, Lynn says. "There's a lot less animosity to the Addison Independent than [the Eagles founders] thought there was," the editor comments. In addition, the Independent publishes twice each week — in tabloid form on Mondays and as a broadsheet on Thursdays. The semi-weekly schedule gives the paper a sharp news-coverage edge over current and potential weekly rivals, Lynn notes. Publishing once a week might save money, he admits, but such a degree of fre-

second section each week with a set of farm-related stories. That angle is consistent with the claim by Eagle founders that many rural residents of Addison County feel neglected by the Independent and are alienated by its liberal editorial policy. Some residents of the still ' largely rurai county do hold strongly conservative views, says Liz Ready, a former Addison County State Senator who now ? serves as State Auditor. But, she notes, local voters trend Democratic at the top of the ticket — in their choices for governor and president, for example — while also sending one member of each major party to the State Senate. Gerry Gossens, Ready's successor as the Addison County Democrat in the Vermont Senate, agrees with her assessment, noting that a few years ago the county's General Assembly delegation was 7-2 Democratic-Republican — the opposite of what resulted from the 2000 election. Ready, a liberal, offers high praise for the Independent's news coverage, and says of the Eagle: "They've never covered any issues I've been involved in since I was elected Auditor. The only coverage I ever got from the Eagle were front-page negative stories before the election." Not surprisingly, editors of the three papers differ in their assessment of what the future holds. Lynn says the Independent enjoyed its most prosperous year ever in 2000, and expects to continue publishing twice a week wiiile the Eagle goes into a death spiral. White, the "voice" of the Voice, won't hazard a direct forecast. "We've been here 27 years," she says of her own weekly, "so I know the area can support at least two papers." Varricchio predicts that all three papers will still be publishing a year from now. "It takes at least five years to judge the success of a new newspaper," the ' ' Eagle editor adds. "We're still in our infancy." ®

The Wait

is Over

Playing the "Endgame" with Godot

B Y DAVID ENGLANDER AND ERIK ESCKILSEN

ver leave a play or movie with a nagging sense that you didn't get the ending? O r maybe you got it, but it still didn't provide that all-important sense of closure. You know it doesn't really matter, but questions still nag at you: Did the hero get the girl? Is the guy in the hockey mask really dead? Is Darth really Luke's father? Irish playwright Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, considered a masterpiece of the modern theater, has given many theatergoers that feeling since its premiere in 1952. With the Vermont Stage Company set to bring Beckett's play to FlynnSpace over the next two weeks, we offer here a few endings to resolve any dramatic conflicts haunting you after the play. Cut out the scripts, tuck them in your pocket and perform them after the play, when and if the need for closure arises. Our story thus far... Estragon and Vladimir have been waiting for Godot. Waiting, waiting, waiting. During this time they have met Pozzo and Lucky, who demonstrated a range of bad behaviors, then exited. A boy has also periodically appeared on stage, acting as messenger for Godot. The message: Godot will be right along. At the close of the play's final scene, Estragon and Vladimir are onstage. Alone.

THE SAD ENDING Vladimir: Well? Shall we go? Estragon: Yes, let's go. They do not move. George W. Bush enters wearing his "play clothes"—flannel shirt, blue jeans, barn jacket, gauze patch over right cheek. George: Hiya. Estragon and Vladimir: Good evening. George: Either of you guys Andersen? Estragon: He's Vladimir. Vladimir: And he's Estragon. George: I was sent to find a feller named Andersen. Estragon: Sent by whom? Vladimir: Mr. Godot? George: I don't know about any feller name of Godot. Uncle Dick — Dick Cheney — said to go find this friend of his, Arthur Andersen. Estragon: So you are not Godot? George: (with boorish pride) Hell, no! I am most certainly not no Godot and, even more furthermorely, I have been sent on a very important mission by the Vice President of the United States himself, Richard Cheney. Vladimir: And this man you are looking for, Andersen, what is his role in all this? George: That, my friend, is information given on a strictly need-to-know basis. And I don't need to know. All I know is, Uncle Dick is madder'n a hat full of hornets.

Estragon: You don't say so. George: Ho-ho, yes, though. Vladimir: We're waiting for Godot. George: Godot? Where have I heard that name before? He work for Enron? (sneering) He in Al Qaeda? Estragon: We mentioned him a few moments ago. George: That's it! Vladimir: (with despair) It seems we are to wait further still. Estragon: (reaching into his pocket) Would you like something to eat while we wait? I have these bones Pozzo gave me. Vladimir: No, thank you. Estragon: (to George) You, sir? George: (reachingfor the bone) Don't mind if I do. Little snacky-snack never hurt no one, right? George begins gnawing on a bone only to choke moments later. Neither Estragon nor Vladimir move to help him as he stumbles about the stage then falls, landing on his already injured cheek. Fudge/ (more deliriously) That smarts more'n a swift kick in the pants from Jim Jeffords. (Weakly,\ just before passing out) M o m m y . . . Curtain.

THE SURPRISE ENDING Vladimir: Well? Shall we go? Estragon: Yes, let's go. They do not move. Elvis Presley enters wearing his Vegas-era threads — white, high-collared jumpsuit and matching cape, gold-rimmed sunglasses, muttonchops. Elvis: How y'all doin' tonight? Estragon and Vladimir: Good evening. Vladimir: My! What clothes! Elvis: Thankyouverymuch. Estragon: Would you, by any chance, be Mr. Godot? Elvis: Son, you are looking at the King! Vladimir: So you are Godot? Elvis pauses, as if to consider the matter, then strikes a Vegasera pose — knees bent, arms cutting through the air in karate-like gestures, cape billowing. Estragon: We've been waiting a seeming eternity for your arrival. Elvis: Thankyouverymuch. So, what can I do for you? Estragon and Vladimir exchanged puzzled looks. Vladimir: Well, we thought the question would be the other way around. Elvis: Come again, son? Estragon: What he means is that we thought you would request something of us. Elvis: Hell, son, I take requests, from Queen Elizabeth to Dick Nixon, but I don't make requests. Except, of course, fried bananas and peanut butter at midnight! He whoops

loudly and strikes another pose. Vladimir (to Estragon): W h a t shall we do now? Estragon (shrugging): I do not know, but the wait is over. Elvis: (in his own world) D a m n , I am having a good time! It is a balmy night in Las Vegas! Vladimir: If it is in fact over, what does it mean? Estragon: I think it means the King is here and he doesn't know what is going on. Vladimir: Well, what do we do, then? Elvis: I don't know 'bout you fellas, but I am on my way to Graceland. Vladimir and Estragon: (perplexed) Graceland? Elvis: Memphis, Tennessee. Ow! Elvis strikes his curtaincall pose, down on one knee, head bowed. Curtain.

THE HAPPY ENDING Vladimir: Well? Shall we go? Estragon: Yes, let's go. They do not move. Estragon: I can't go on like this. Vladimir: That's what you think. Estragon: What do you mean by that? Vladimir: I mean that perhaps we don't need Mr. Godot at all. Estragon: But what could it mean, then, all this waiting? Vladimir: It means that all we ever really needed was ourselves. Estragon: Ourselves? But what do we have, aside from, well... (gesturing to the tree) .. .the tree over there? Vladimir: And what does Mr. Godot have that we don't? We have blood in our veins and strength in our limbs — and voices that sing their own truth! Estragon: But surely Mr. Godot has more than that. Vladimir: I'm suggesting that he does not — that we, you and I, have fashioned Mr. Godot to suit our needs and nothing more. He serves to justify our long wait, but, in the end, provides us with no answers, no truth to which we can cling. Estragon: (coming around) You know, I think it was Ambrose Bierce who once wrote, "Self-denial is indulgence of a propensity to forego." Vladimir: Exactly. We wait and wring our hands, and for what? For the far-flung possibility that there might be more later. Estragon: Carpe diem. Vladimir: Now you've got it. Let's get the boy, cut down this tree, grab some marshmallows and have a bonfire. Estragon: To hell with Mr. Godot! Estragon and Vladimir: Hurray! Curtain.(7)

ou might have noticed something strange in the waters of Lake Champlain during Burlington's First Night fireworks on December 31st. No, not Champ. That was a pair of scuba drivers underneath the cascading embers of colorful explosives, cozying up to each other in the 38-degree water. "Best seats in the house," claims Betsy Carter of Essex Junction, who owns a real estate management company in South Burlington. She and her husband, Chris Whipple, the training director at Victory Sports dive shop in Colchester, kicked off the new year with a cold-water dunk. Not something most sane people would do, but if you live in Vermont and love diving, at some point you have a decision to make: spend a fortune hauling your butt and diving gear to the Caribbean a few times a season, or tackle the challenge of winter diving in Vermont's frigid waters, sometimes under two feet of ice! As with other extreme sports, ice diving has its good and bad points. On the one hand, your friends and neighbors may question your mental capabilities and fear for your children. On the other, you don't have to buy an

thing about winter diving is the clarity of the water," enthuses Carter. "You can see twice as far as in the summer. All the algae and weeds disappear. And if you do have good ice cover, then you're not getting wind action to stir things up on the bottom." No speeding motorboats with tipsy captains to worry about, either. "There's virtually no noise in winter," adds Whipple. "And you get some of the same feelings when diving in the summer — you can hear yourself breathing; there are no pagers, no beepers, and everyday life goes away." The underwater world has its aesthetic charms as well. "Some years the ice may crack and refreeze, so you find all these neat patterns under the surface of the ice," Carter notes. The colors are hardly tropical, though. "It's pretty much greens and browns, and some of the local fish like bass, perch and trout," she concedes. "Not anything that spectacular."

r. Charles Seleen of Malletts Bay, a full-time dentist, likes the views under the ice at Nelson Pond in North Calais, near Woodbury. "The visibility is generally 100 feet out there," he says, "and

"Some years the ice ma crack and re-freeze, so you. ind all these neat patterns under the surface of the ice." — ice diver Betsy Carter expensive ski pass and spend weekends in line with hordes of color-coordinated tourists. Besides, it's a hobby that commands attention at a cocktail party. Ice divers get their highs going lower. Although it's generally darker down there under a foot of ice and snow, "The great

there's a very nice site with some boulders. When the sun shines through, it's beautiful." Seleen is also a certified winter diving instructor and will be leading two full weekend sessions in February. "No doubt winter diving is a little bit of an adventure," he admits. "I like the technical aspects; you need a well-coordi-

The following equipment is recommended for winter ice diving: • Mask, snorkel and fins • Cold water exposure suit • Proper-fitting hood, boots and mitts • Quick-release weight belt or weight-retaining system • Environmentally protected regulator with submersible pressure gauge • A second air source, such as Pony bottle with environmentally protected regulator • BCD with low-pressure inflator • Instrumentation to determine depth, time and direction • Recreational Dive Planner • • Tool or knife to cut line and rope • Slate with pencil • Whistle • Log book • Exposure protection clothing such as sunglasses, hat, long underwear, heavy insulated layer, windproof outer jacket and pants, two pairs of water| proof gloves or mitts • Water, juices and carbohydrate! rich food and snacks • Two dive lights — G.T.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMmmM nated team for all the different tasks involved." Winter diving requires special gear. It's a bit like preparing for an ascent on Mt. Everest, but headed in the opposite direction. "I never thought of myself as a gearhead, but I am," says Carter. "I really enjoy all the stuff that goes along with it." She admits that the basement of the home she shares with her husband looks a lot like, well, a dive shop. A key component is the suit. "It's a lot better to have a drysuit than a wetsuit," Carter notes. "The difference is that the wetsuit used in summer is made out of Neoprene; it allows water to get in, and your body warms that up to keep you warm. But when the water is 35 or 40 degrees, that ain't going to work." A drysuit, she explains, has seals at the wrist and neck, with a valve on the chest that attaches to the air tank by a hose. Air then inflates into the suit to insulate the body and increase buoy-

ancy. The regulators for breathing have to be environmentally sealed to keep them from freezing up. There's a bit of weight lifting to the sport, too. "I might be carrying 150 pounds of gear on a dive," Carter says, noting that in winter she's had to carry big loads down unplowed roads to get to the lake. Divers often shovel snow off the ice in a pattern of circles and spokes to improve visibility and to help divers stay oriented. "There's hauling, shoveling, all of that... it's quite a physical venture," Carter says. Safety is always on a diver's mind, Whipple says, but more so in winter. "To do a dive properly takes six people: two divers, two tenders, a safety diver and a tender for the safety diver." Typically two divers will go in the hole together, and each diver has a tender on the surface managing the 100-foot lines attached to each diver. Then there's an additional diver geared up and ready to go down in an emergency, as well as a tender for that diver. Dives are shorter in winter — about 20 minutes — and divers are trained to return to the surface when a third of their air is used up. Disoriented divers are trained to approach the ice from underneath, and wait. If that sounds like a recipe for claustrophobia, Carter assures, "You're always on a leash in winter." She got hooked on diving when she took a one-day scuba plunge during a vacation in Aruba. "I said, 'Wow, this is something I've got to do,'" Carter recalls. She became certified in Vermont later that year and started frequenting dive shops for equipment — and to re-fill her air tanks. That's how she met her future husband at Victory Sports. The couple were married in November 1999 in Florida — 30 feet underwater. "I got certified as a cave diver in '97 and Chris wanted to be certified, too," Carter explains. "So we went down in November of '99; he got his cave diver certification, and at the end of his class we had our underwater cave wedding." The couple notes that interest in diving has increased in recent years, especially among women. "There's a greater percentage of women in the certification classes each year," Whipple confirms. "I got certified in 1993 and I was hard-pressed to find women divers," Carter remembers. To keep established divers interested and to entice women into the sport, she has helped to organize a new club, the NorthEast Regional Diving Society — NERDS — to sponsor dives and education. "Once you pay for your equipment, it's a pretty inexpensive sport," she notes. Sounds like cold comfort. © Ice diving classes are offered by Victory Sports of Colchester.

tasized about being the Julie Christie character, an opium-addicted madam of a bordello run by Warren Beatty's tragicomic gambler-gunslinger. In a forlorn Northwestern mining town at the turn of the 19th century, he yearns for the kind of romantic love she's incapable of returning. Graced by Leonard Cohen's haunting soundtrack, the Robert Altman picture is a heartbreaker. Fast forward three decades with the filmmaker, whose Gosford Park offers people similarly trapped by their passions, or lack thereof, during a 1932 weekend gathering at an English country estate. An existential murder mystery, its conniving wealthy aristocrats and servants with dark secrets are also hemmed in by class distinctions. A large ensemble cast — Kristin Scott Thomas, Michael Gambon, Alan Bates, Jeremy Northam, Bob Balaban, Emily Watson, Ryan Philippe, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith and Clive Owen, among others — delivers understated oh-soBritish dialogue that slowly reveals a household of shattered psyches. "Robert Altman has more sheer stubborn effrontery than any other great American director," the late film critic Pauline Kael wrote in Hooked, a 1985 collection of her reviews. "When he's working in top form, there's nobody who can touch him. They can't even get near him." With Gosford Park, AJtman's in top form indeed.

GRAND SLAMDUNK? Burlington-based writer-director Keith Spiegel says his decision to launch the Slamdunk Film Festival four years ago was "partly motivated by a desire to get back at Sundance," the 800-pound gorilla that also takes place in Utah's glorious mountains. Groupies, the 1997 mockumentary he shot in Vermont, had been turned down by Robert Redford's prestigious event. So, Spiegel aimed to screen his debut feature at an annual competing, simultaner pjjjfc, 'ous fest he would organize in m^^m^kd ^ \ } M the same town, Park City. B f l ^ JSd Slamdunk was an instant success Ell " ^mk - Somehow, Spiegel and H Weston businessman Cabot '' Orton were able to lure an array 1 Doug Liman, Keith Speigel . . . , n r * or luminaries as judges: director . & Justin Henry Alan Parker (Evita), composer Lalo Schiffrin (The Sting) and actor Anthony Perkins {Psycho). The selections included The Dirk Diggler Story, the prototype for Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights. In addition, there was a packed-with-celebrities screening of Kurt and Courtney, which Sundance dropped after rocker-actress Courtney Love threatened to sue — Nick Broomfield's controversial documentary suggests she may have hired someone to kill husband Kurt Cobain, whose death by gunshot was officially ruled a suicide. The 2002 Slamdunk has just wrapped. Spiegel's e-mail summation mentions a closing-night North American premiere of Dead in the Water, with Dominique Swain and Henry Thomas, and The Huey P. Newton Story, a series of monologues by an actor portraying the late Black Panther leader. Some good news for the 30-year-old Spiegel as he heads back home to the Green Mountain State: Both Miramax and Paramount Classics have told him they would be interested in taking a look at his re-edited Groupies, which will be renamed The Junior Defenders. The eccentric road movie is about a deranged fan who kidnaps the former child stars of a 1970s TV superhero show. "It's all very encouraging," he says, "but first I just want to concentrate on finishing the film right this time." HOLLYWOOD GOES NORTH Montreal — and its advantageous exchange rate for American dollars — will be drawing considerable Tinseltown "glitterati" to Quebec in the next few months. According to a recent article in The Gazette, Drew Barrymore, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts, no less, will be in the city to make Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. George Clooney is acting in and directing the comedy adapted from the Chuck Barris autobiography that claims he hosted the goofy "Gong Show" as a front for his real job as a government assassin. Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman and Holly Hunter are among the other thespians trekking to the frozen reaches of Hollywood-with-a-French-accent this winter. PRO CONSCIENTIOUS Did you spot last week's New York Times photo of a youthful peace activist Dave Dellinger in the company of seven other men being hauled away to prison in 1940 for resisting the draft? The shot accompanied a story about The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It, which was broadcast January 15 by some PBS stations. The Vermont affiliate taped the national feed and expects to show the film at an undetermined future date. In it, Dellinger — an octogenarian now living in Montpelier — discusses his experiences as a conscientious objector. The documentary apparently was not subject to local censorship — unlike that of the Maryland PBS- system, which feared a negative reaction during the country's war on terrorism. ®

Dear Cecil, I recently read about a Lord Cornbury, appointed governor of New York in 1701, who was a transvestite. Can you verify this? —James Hickok Great story, huh? I mean, drag queens are a dime a dozen. But New York, ever on the cutting edge, had the first drag governor! (And maybe the last, but I'm not about to go out on a limb.) This isn't just some wild Internet fable, either — reputable folk have believed it for more than 200 years. The New York Historical Society even has an oil portrait of Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury, in women's clothing, first exhibited in London in 1867. But you asked if I could verify that Cornbury was a transvestite. Answer: no. First, the lurid details. From Henry Moscow's The Book of New York Firsts (1995): "One night during the early 1700s, a constable working for the British colony of New York arrested what he presumed was a prostitute walking along Broadway. When the suspect was brought back to the stockade, however, it was discovered that he had actually taken into custody the colonial governor, who enjoyed taking evening strolls in his wife's clothes... In addition to women's clothing, which he enjoyed wearing while walking the parapets of the British fort he commanded, [Lord Cornbury] also had a fetish for ears, and made it a point of telling visitors to official state functions that they were free to fondle those of his wife... "After being in power for a while, Lord Cornbury's marriage started to sour. Since he gave Mrs. Hyde no spending money, she took to 'borrowing' clothing and other items from other aristocratic ladies, and then not returning them. He himself ran up considerable debts, and was finally removed from office by Queen Anne in 1708. Now a regular citizen, he was thrown into debtors' prison until receiving a sizable inheritance from his father's estate, which enabled him to buy his way out of jail and return to England, where he served in the House of Lords." And you thought Huey Long was colorful. But Patricia Bonomi, emerita professor at

New York University, thinks it's all a pack of lies. In The Lord Cornbury Scandal: The Politics of Reputation in British America (1998) she argues that Lord Cornbury, appointed governor of New York and New Jersey by the crown, was the victim of a vicious whispering campaign by his political enemies. Among the points she makes: 1. Notwithstanding the label on the frame, which may have been affixed for the 1867 exhibit, it's not certain who is depicted in the notorious portrait at the New York Historical Society, who painted it or when. The few other known likenesses of Cornbury bear only a passing resemblance to the party in the picture, and some art experts say it's just an unattractive woman. Cross-dressing, hardly a mainstream predilection today, was considered an abomination in the early 1700s, and no prominent man would have wanted himself portrayed in such a manner. Satirical illustrations were done as quick drawings or engravings, not as expensive oil paintings. 2. The only contemporary evidence that Lord Cornbury was a transvestite consists of comments in four letters. The letters were written by three different people, all enemies of Cornbury's, around the time of his recall to England. Cornbury had been energetic and perhaps a little imperious in trying to whip things into shape in New York and New Jersey, and he'd antagonized a lot of people. Scandalous insinuations were a standard weapon of palace politics at the time. None of the letter writers

claims to have witnessed Cornbury's unusual behavior personally, and they provide little detail; it's obvious their main goal was sandbagging the guy. None of Cornbury's associates mentioned any eccentricities of dress, which would have been the talk of the colony had they been as blatant as described. On the contrary, many defended him when he came under attack. O h his return to England, Cornbury was warmly welcomed, served in high positions, and was granted a generous pension — not the treatment you'd expect if he were thought a deve. 3. The scant additional evidence consists of claims made at long remove. For example, a memoir by a 76-year-old woman recounted a story about Cornbury she'd been told by her grandmother, who claimed to have heard about his indiscretions as a teenager. The memoir was published in 1820; the events described in it had taken place more than a hundred years earlier. Cornbury may not have been the world's best governor (although Professor Bonomi claims he was nowhere near as bad as he's been made out). But it seems pretty clear the allegations about cross-dressing were just scurrilous rumor, made believable by the passage of time. Nobody today believes the story about Richard Gere and the gerbil, but God knows what they'll be saying about him in 200 years. — CECIL ADAMS

taking the "fifth" Its first four notes have become a classical cliche — "fate knocking at the door" as some have interpreted it. But Beethoven's Fifth is so popular, "it is very often avoided," says Jaime Laredo, artistic director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. "We thought it was time to do it again." The all-Beethoven program also includes the "Coliolan Overture" and the difficult Piano Concerto No. 4, for which the hearing-impaired composer had a tough time finding a pianist. It took a lot less arm twisting to get 20-year-old virtuoso Jonathan Biss to step up to the stool. Vermont Symphony Orchestra. Saturday, January 26. Flynn Center, Burlington, 7 p.m. $9-37. Info, 863-5966.

fare game

She launched the literary trend that led to Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — and every other book that looks at the socio-cultural differences between men and women. In You Just Don't Understand: Men and Women in Conversation, author and linguist Deborah Tannen analyzes communication between the sexes. Her landmark work has been translated into 26 different languages — evidence the gender gap is global. She makes her point in a lecture, "She Said, He Said, They Said," that broadens the argument to include cross-cultural communication.

It's a wild menu: bison meatloaf, antelope fajitas, elk cacciatore, pheasant stroganoff, beer-braised bear. Whichever way you slice it, the Vermont Folklife Center's annual allyou-can-eat game dinner is definitely an out-there eating adventure. The buffet-style service lets you pick and choose from dishes you won't see on even the most daring "specials" list. Middlebury professor emeritus and hunter Horace Beck tracks down most of the main ingredients, and on occasion, the state comes through... with roadkill.

green mountain minutiae You gotta know your Green Mountain Boys, and cow varieties, to score big on the latest edition of the Vermont Quiz Book, by Melissa and Frank Bryan. This local edition of trivial pursuit takes you through the geography, jokes, quotations, personalities and politicians from the state that serves as a punchline for the joke: "What is green and goes backwards?" Speaking of politicians, no flatlander should run for office in Vermont without reading this book — first. Warning: There may be a pop quiz at the book signing. Vermont Quiz Book signing. Saturday, January 26. Borders Books and Music, Church Street Marketplace, Burlington, 2 p.m. Free. Info, 8 6 5 - 2 7 1 1 .

mush hour You don't have to be a Green Mountain Distance Musher to appreciate the dog days of winter. The sled dog race group puts on an annual snow show in Craftsbury that is the Vermont equivalent of the Iditarod. Eight teams are competing in the main event — a 60-mile race through the woods that, depending on conditions, could take up to eight hours. In the meantime, cool canines cooperate in free rides, working-dog demos and a 15-mile skijor which involves harnessed dogs pulling cross-country skiers. Leave your own pooch at home.

Jan. 24 - 30 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): "Kinky is using a feather," begins one of the gems of folk wisdom circulating on the Internet. "Perverted is using the whole chicken." Make that your cautionary metaphor for the coming weeks, Aries. You will have cosmic license to indulge in all manner of extravagant, exploratory, exotic adventures. The only way the license will be revoked is if you try to get far too much of every good thing.

—

CANCER

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Your assignment is simple this week: Impersonate a fountain. Not a geyser or waterfall or river, but a fountain. And what exactly would that entail? I'll leave it to you to meditate on the finer points, but here are a few clues to get you started. The water in a fountain surges upwards, but not too hard or too high, then splashes down softly into a pool. Its flow is inexhaustible because the circulation is efficient. A fountain's structure is often beautiful and the mechanism by which it regulates the water's movement is well-crafted. Many people who stand in the presence of a fountain are calmed by the bubbling sounds and invigorated by the exuberance of the gentle spectacle.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): It's a good time to fantasize about knocking down mountains with karate chops, to recharge the pretend lightning bolts you shoot out your fingers and to dream about winning the Nobel Prize for Loving Your Enemies. Huh? What am I talking about? Well, Gemini, these imaginative exercises are excellent ways to prepare for more realistic feats, like demolishing your mental blocks, burning down your fears and loosening the inhibitions you've allowed your adversaries to plant in you. To build your personal power, rev up your fantasy life.

(June 21-July 22): Here are four and a half questions to guide your quest in the next four weeks. 1. How would you have to change yourself in order to bring a more perfect version of romantic love into your life? 2. Do you dare treat your intimate relationships as an essential part of your spiritual path? (2a. Do you even have a spiritual path?) 3. How can you blend your life with another person's in a way that will inspire you to tirelessly ripen your less mature qualities and regularly summon your most beautiful gifts? 4. What strategies will help you bring out the best in your partners and grapple compassionately with their less mature qualities?

partner to be whole. Let's install that theme at the heart of your meditations on what it means to be a Virgo. You are not, after all, virginal in the modern sense; you are not prone to suffer from naivete or lack of experw ence. On the other hand, you are constantly dealing with questions about how to be pure and stay true to yourself as you weave your fortunes together with your allies. In the coming weeks you'll have to be especially smart about that challenge.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The full moon in Leo on January 28 suggests you'll be a champion networker. As the sun and Venus conjunct Neptune in Aquarius, you will be primed for romantic breakthroughs that stimulate mystical revelations — L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Normally and vice versa. Saturn in Gemini will I encourage you to pursue your form a voluptuously graceful angle heart's desire with relentless ingenuity. with the sun and Venus, which tells Make it your top priority, I counsel. me that every beautiful thing you Let no lesser wishes distract you. Be make will have profound value and a aggressively persistent. In response to long life. The last big event in this current astrological currents, however, week of major astrological aspects will I suggest a temporary shift in strategy. be a grating but catalytic interaction For the next few weeks, Leo, take between Mars in Aries and Jupiter in your cue from the approach described Cancer. If you're resourceful in hanby Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her book dling the way it upsets your urge to Women Who Run With the Wolves. "All create harmony, it will ultimately that you are seeking is also seeking expand and energize your talent for you," she writes. "If you sit still, it creating harmony. will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time. Once it is here, don't (Oct. 23-Nov. move away. Rest. See what happens 21): There's an old fable about a scornext." pion that gets a frog to ferry her across a river, promising not to sting (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): him. Halfway across, the scorpion Consider the Latin term "virgo," stings the frog anyway. "Why did you , . • from which the English words "virdo that?" asks the frog. "Now we'll gin" and "Virgo" are derived. In her both drown." "I can't help it," says book Willful Virgin, Marilyn Frye the scorpion. "I'm a scorpion. I was asserts that it did not originally mean born to sting." Alas, that's the way a sexually innocent girl. Rather, it the tale ends in its original form. Let's referred to a self-sufficient female, hope that by telling you this tale, I complete unto herself, not needing a have helped prevent you from carry-

ing it out in real life. (P.S. In the modern version of the story, how about if we make it so the scorpion refrains from stinging until reaching the other side, where she finds a video game that allows her to sting a thousand virtual bad guys?)

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sculptor David Nash owns five chainsaws of different sizes, according to art critic Kenneth Baker, and "wields all of them with improbable precision." That's thefirstway Nash is a good role model for you in the coming weeks. You will need to manipulate large-scale influences to accomplish subtle and delicate changes. There's a second reason Nash should be an inspiration for you. His work doesn't require the destruction of living trees; recycled wood provides much of his raw material. Like him, you will get best results if you find new value in stuff that has outlived its usefulness in its original form.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): As smart as you often are at creating wealth, Capricorn, I'd like to invoke a little magical help to provide you with an extra boost — especially now, with the sun, Venus and Neptune throwing a party in your astrological House of the Almighty Dollar. That's why I've got a few money spells for you. Enjoy. 1. Wear a $20 bill in your underwear for three days. 2. For five minutes right before you fall asleep on the next 10 nights, visualize your bedroom piled three feet high with large-denomination bills. 3. Glue a picture of your favorite goddess to the middle of a $5 bill, then tack it to the wall next to your bed. Make love with a cute ally underneath the goddess-enhanced money for exactly 44 minutes, stop-

Hng for one minute four different times to pray for emotional, jiritual and financial wealth.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20Feb. 18): No one should have to be ensconced at work eight hours a day, five days a week, week after week. Such relentless regularity is an affront to body and soul. One alternative is to create a job situation that allows you more flexibility and spaciousness. I'm pleased to report that you will attract unexpected assistance if you dream and scheme to do just that in 2002. Don't assume that you will have to make financial sacrifices in order to enjoy a looser schedule; in fact, you're more likely tofinaglethe pay and perks you want if you're faithful to the fantasy of treating yourself with loving kindness.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Writing in The New York Times, Nick Gillespie praised the way cartoon rabbit Bugs Bunny teaches kids "powerful, subversive truths from which adults try to shield them." Among the lessons: "smart alecks have more fun... mocking authority is often the right thing to do... tortoises beat hares (especially when tortoises cheat)... and... a sense of humor is the only way to make it through..." Bugs' approach to life will be especially useful for you between now and February 15, Pisces. It won't be enough, though. You'll need many other subversive truths as well. I'll even go so far as to say that this is the season of subversive truth. You can call Rob day or night for

Dear Lola, After 20 years of marriage, "Sharon" and I are going through difficulties. We're in counseling and are committed to staying together, but the process can be very discouraging. Several years ago, I had a rather intense friendship with "€ve." Though nothing romantic ever came of it, we did enjoy the usual flirtations that are inevitable in this sort of situation, and mutual acquaintances — including Sharon — enjoyed teasing us about our closeness. £ve moved cut of town, and I put her cut of my mind. Then, last week, I received a friendly note from €ve inviting me to come for a visit. Reading her note made me realize how much I miss her. I am very tempted to accept her offer, but I'm afraid that it would set back the tenuous progress of my therapy with Sharon. Conflicted in Cambridge Dear Conflicted, Now is not the time to test Sharon's trust. As attractive as a weekend of harmless flirtation may appear, unless you are deliberately attempting to send your marriage the way of the Titanic, just say no to €ve and the temptation she invites. Love, M
