question

Some people wear their on their Where do you wear yours? I wear mine inside rubber raincoat. — Steve Crafts Graphic designer Chester I don’t th in k that most people do wear their heart on their sleeve, but I am one of those types. I’m a heart-conscious per son. — Dave Grippo M usician and teacher South Burlington I wear mine in the c u ff of my pants — down around my ankles. It's kind of flapping in the breeze down there. But I like it that way. — Jonathan Chase Cook, m usician and gardener Calais I wear my mine on my hat. A c h e fs hat. — Connie Warden Chetfowner of Chow! Bella S t Albans

days before he died, his legs were twitching constantly and he couldn’t see, talk or hear. Gordon was a giant in the alternative tultural scene of Halifax and his mysterious death shook everyone who knew him. W hat I remember well about him was his enor mous consumption of milk, and we used to tease him by saying that wine was more appropriate at meals for anyone whose bones were fully formed. The other scary thought was that he participated in at least one meal of raw meat with some Inuit who were visiting him down south and who cus tomarily eat meat without cooking it. One last thing: When Gordon died, his wife thought he would have a regu lar burial, but she was informed by the funeral director that her husband’s body had to be com pletely cremated. — Bill Dodge Burligton

DEALS AND DISEASES Huzzahs once more to Seven Days for two stories in the Jan. 27 issue that get it completely right! Peter Kurth’s low-down on the nasty, brutish and obscene conglomeratization of the book industry (“Greed Between the Lines”) mentions the possible purchase of the wholesale distributor Ingram Book Group by the German media giant, Bertelsmann AG, which already owns Random House and 50 percent of Barnesandnoble.com. The Federal Trade Commission can kill the Ingram deal, and it should! There’s no way the pub lishing industry and struggling independent booksellers will be able to withstand any corporate pressure from this media giant to dumb down content. O f course, the real mover and shaker behind all these mega mergers is the microchip, which has made it possible to control massive inventories and access them with the click of a mouse. Terry Allen’s story on the frightening discovery of prions and their connection to trans missible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) should convince every carnivore to get their incisors removed (“How Now, Mad Cow?”)! The story sent a chill up my spine, since a close friend of mine died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the TSE variant that is fatal to humans. My friend’s family in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was told that Creutzfeldt-Jakob killed only one in a million, but I noticed that Terry Allen said incidences of this disease are as rare as five in a billion world wide for people under the age of 30. The scary thing about my friend’s death was that he became psychotic and violent months before the disease was diagnosed. He was unable to recognize his own wife when he was finally hospitalized, and by the time I saw him, only a few

It's a question of fin d in g it. It can’t be the sleeve, someone could bump into it and hurt it. How about underneath my bullet-proof vest? — Pete C h iacchieri Shepherd Burlington

POLICE NEED FRESH PERSPECTIVE It is surprising that Kurt Wright would hold Mayor Clavelle responsible for the Police Commission’s decision to hire Chief Ennis. Doesn’t Councilor Wright understand the Commission form of gov ernment yet? The selection of Chief Ennis was made by the Police Commission, but not in a vacu um. First, the Commission did a national search with the assis tance of a reputable consultant. The consultant helped the Commission develop a list of characteristics and qualities they wanted in a Chief, with input from a racially and eco nomically diverse group of community citizens. After the pool was narrowed to 15 finalists, the consultant emphasized to the Commission that the $60,000 salary was not competitive given the qualities the Department was looking

PROTEIN POISONING? I recently read your article, “How Now, Mad Cow?” [January 27] by Terry Allen. I must say, it was a very good and informative article. Perhaps a little too informative, and ter rifying. The reason being, I recently ate elk from Colorado. A friend of my father’s was hunting out West and brought back some elk meat. Since I read the article I’ve been absolutely angst-ridden. All

kinds of wild scenarios have been going though my head: Are those filthy little proteins working on my brain right now? Will my head swell to three times itsmormal size and explode all over my living room? I’m frightened to the point of delirium. Just the other day the panic set in and I began to gyrate all over my apartment. Terrified at the prospect of becoming a jabbering old hobo, pushing around a cart full of cans, with a head full of holes. So bad were my gyrations that I blacked out completely. When I finally came to I found myself in the tub sucking my thumb wearing diapers. Sweet Jesus, I’m absolutely petrified! From what I gather here in your article these vile little proteins can strike at any damn time. W hat happens if they strike during the holidays? Will my head explode all over the tree? Will the little proteins jump out of my head and attack the turkey? Or Grandma? I don’t know about you, but to me and my family, that would really spoil Christmas. But seriously, should I contact CD C or my doctor? — Wes Doll Essex L e t t e r s P o li c y : S E V E N D A YS w an ts yo u r ran ts and ra v e s, in 2 5 0 w o rd s or le s s .

for. The Commission then made it clear to the candidates that the salary was flexible and could possibly go as high as $80,000, but that the City Council had to vote on any salary increase over $60,000. Alana Ennis knew the $80,000 was not a not a slam-dunk without the City Council’s approval. As a result of the Commission’s lengthy, thor ough process, Mayor Clavelle supported their decision. If he hadn’t, he would have been equally criticized by his oppo nents for not respecting the process and its outcome. The Police Department des perately needs new leadership. In each of the past two fiscal years, the Department over spent its budget by over $300,000. For the past eight years, our community has been demanding, and the Police Department has been promis ing, “community-based polic ing.” There appear to be signifi cant obstacles in the Depart ment to re-orienting the offi cers to community-based polic ing. The growing diversity in Burlington that has resulted in violent episodes over the past two years, where AfricanAmericans have been attacked and drunken students have bla tantly disrespected police offi cers, demands a fresh perspec tive. — Liz Curry Burlington

Curses, Foiled Again

Fair-Weather Friend

Police investigating a bank robbery in Wilmington, Delaware, arrested Cawayne Brown after he waved to a police officer he knew. The officer noticed Browns hands were the same fluorescent orange color as the dye pack that exploded in the stolen money. “If he would have gone about his business,” Lt. Sean Finerty noted, “the cop car would have gone right past him.” • Police investigating a series of house burglaries in Loudon County, Virginia, identified Michael Anthony Silver, 34, as their prime suspect after one o f the victims reported that his phone bill showed a $250 charge to a psychic hotline, which was made while he was out of town. Authorities said they linked Silver to the call because he made the mistake of giving the psychic his real name. • W hen someone stole a Jeep Cherokee in the District of Columbia, the owner called her car cell phone to demand the vehicles return. The thief didn’t answer because at the time the call came through, he was being questioned by police. After the driver ignored the ringing phone, a suspi cious detective answered, spoke with the victim and arrested the teenage suspect.

During a late-summer heat wave, Florida’s Hillsborough County received $453,244 from the federal government to distribute air conditioners to the poor. By December, officials reported that the air conditioners were turning up in pawn shops.

• Paul Santoro, 39, the chief financial officer of the town of Darien, Connecticut, was charged with embezzling at least $10,000 in quarters from parking meter receipts. State police said their suspicions were confirmed after witness ing Santoro turning in large amounts of change at a casino.

When Delia Smith, Britain’s leading television chef, instructed her viewers how to boil an egg, her rivals criticized her back-to-basics approach as insulting to peo ple’s intelligence. A month later, however, egg producers reported that since the broad cast, egg sales had increased 10 percent.

Quick-Change Artists Lori Greene, 36, and Myra Strom, 54, pleaded guilty to stealing $209,000 — all in quarters — over the past three years from Extra Effort Payphones in Houston. Company owner Michael Huracek supplied the evidence against the women after won dering why the business never turned a profit. He set up a surveillance camera, which showed Greene, his bookkeep er, and Strom, a former employee, leaving the building with three 55-pound bags of quarters.

Spelling Counts A 14-page brochure advis ing young people about educa tional programs and facilities in Houston had to be thrown out after officials discovered it was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. Among the words misspelled were “library,” “teaches” and “national.” Donald Hollingsworth, an aide to Mayor Lee Brown, said the mayor’s $67,000-a-year direc tor for youth services, who wrote the booklet, faced disci plinary action. • When Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge sent a letter con gratulating the volunteer fire department of the city of

DuBois, it was addressed to the “Dubious Volunteer Fire Department.” The word “dubious” means doubtful. Aide Jerry Feaser blamed the mistake on a computer spell check program. • When the Bureau for AtRisk Youth of Plainview, New York, ordered pencils

carrying the slogan “Too Cool to Do Drugs,” Kodi Mosier, 10, of Ticonderoga Elementary School pointed out that when the pencils are sharpened, the message becomes “Cool to Do Drugs” and eventually “Do Drugs.” The pencils were recalled and a new batch issued with the slogan printed in the opposite direction.

Onward, Christian Soldiers Last year, Kentucky law makers approved a measure allowing members of the cler gy to bear arms. This year, Arkansas state Rep. Stephen Simon introduced a bill that would let worshippers carry guns. Simon said his con stituents want to bring guns with them because they some times go straight from work to weeknight church services and don’t have time to go home first to drop off their guns. Simon’s bill would also relax the state’s concealed-weapons ban in parks, bars and at . sporting events. ®

The truth is I’ve had only one goal in this little history lesson: to get you to the Drag Ball. In fact I am shamelessly exploiting my position as a columnist to plump for the cause most dear to my heart. This^ weekend is the “Winter of Love” in the Queen City, and the “Winter Is a Drag” ball is, if you will, the con summation of a three-day celebration that includes Saturday’s Mardi Gras parade and a Friday-night screening of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? You can’t get more gay than that. I’m obliged to remind you that the Drag Ball is for everybody, regard less of sexual orientation, and that it’s safe for you to go — trust me, such a show you will not see anywhere else. Wear a costume. The ball is a benefit for Vermont CARES, “the oldest and largest AIDS service organi zation in the state,” as we cheerfully say on the board. This year CARES has dra matically expanded the scope of its work, inaugurat ing a Comprehensive Women’s Program and revi talizing the Gay Men’s Health Project at a time when AIDS prevention efforts are more needed than ever. One more thing: According to folklore, if you see a robin flying overhead on Valentine’s Day, it means you’ll marry a sailor. If you see a sparrow, you’ll marry a poor man and be very happy. Happy Valentine's Day, You-Know-Who. ®

n one wall of the dining room, “Be Mine” is scrawled in what looks like blood — the results of a benign Valentine’s Day mas sacre? Actually that’s red paint, its drips dried mid-stream. Just around the corner the entire living room is the same color. And if you can get past the “jungle room” with its iguanas, python, finches and turtle, you might stumble upon some red hearts cut out of plywood, among other paraphernalia resembling the props of some amateur pageant devoted to Eros. You might say red is the . operative color, and hearts the motif, in the Burlington home of Stuart McGowan and Joan Watson. Something new appears every year on Valentine’s Day — and more or less sticks around. Except for the “Stu Loves Joan” spraypainted on a snowbank one year, which disappeared in the spring, or the big heart squirt ed boldly in shaving cream on the front of the house. That one gradually dissolved, but left a ghost of itself against the dark bricks. Then there were the red balloons filled with water and frozen in the shape of a heart in the backyard. These are the kinds of outsized Valentine’s Day offerings Watson has come to expect from her husband — and that all their friends now anticipate every February. His unique approach to the holiday began some 13 years ago, when a

recalls. “I told him this was one I really liked — a whole day devoted to love.” “I’ve got this thing about holidays,” agrees McGowan, “I hate ’em. I used to like Halloween before it became

A more private person than her husband, Watson semi dreads McGowans flamboyant gestures. She figures it has something to do with their age difference — she’s 48, he’s 35 — but chances are it’s got a lot more to do with personality. McGowan is anything but shy. “It’s important to me to go over the top,” he concedes, “in proclaiming my love.” “I’m excited but maybe a little apprehensive, too,” Watson says, “to see what he’ll come up with. It’s not just about me and Stu; a lot of this has always been public, and he’s way more comfortable with that than I am.” “Stu loves Joan” is a famil iar message, in fact, in this Old North End neighborhood, to the envy of the other wives on the block and the mild annoy ance of their husbands. Many women might prefer more cus tomary, and expensive, presents to shaving-cream graffiti, but McGowan’s unabashed declara tions are pretty hard to top. If nothing else, his pranks prove the adage, “It’s the thought that counts.” But as the years go by, he’s definitely become f his own tough act to follow. Along with spontaneity and the embarrassment factor, two of McGowan’s other rules are that his Cupid caper can’t cost r; 1

Now 11 and nine, Emma and Evan have been in on dad’s schemes for a few years — they helped paint the living room red, for instance. “Now that they’re older, they help me come up with ideas,” McGowan says. “It gets harder and harder to fit the bill.” This year’s project is an Emma and dad collabo ration. “The kids are very excited,” says Watson. “They see it as a very big secret now.” Whatever the plan is, McGowan hopes it will be simpler than last year’s elaborate treasure hunt: At each stop along the course of Watson’s day, someone

After the summer, Helen said, “All right, we have been dating three years, we should either get married or call it off.” I was doing every thing possible, and her dad was doing everything possible, and she was the one who stepped up to the plate. She’s a deci sion-maker, all right. M arried 2 6 years to Chittenden County Senator Helen Riehle.

Bess O’Brien, filmmaker I was doing a lot of hinting around, and then Christmas came along. I was hoping for an engagement ring. I had opened all my presents and there wasn’t one. So we got into bed. I was lying down and Jay said, “Oh, I forgot this one,” and he threw a present onto the bed. I opened it up and it was a sweet little dia mond ring. I got cold feet Continued on next page

Decent Proposals Continued from page 13 within the week;. .When we finally did get married, we asked people not to give gifts, but tax-deductible contribu tions to our first film. That was Where the Rivers Flow North. M arried seven years to Vermont film m aker Jay Craven.

Jeanne Keller, writer and consultant He had been asking for seven years, but I still hadn’t made up my mind about it. There were a lot of things to consider. Then it just occurred to me, “this is it,” on Christ mas Eve. I sat under the tree wearing a big red bow. W hen he came into the room, I said, “Ask me the question.” He said, “W hat question?” It went back and forth like this a cou ple times. Finally he asked and I accepted.

North End. It was Valentine’s Day. We were watching this documentary on public televi sion about black migration to Chicago in the ’50s. I popped the question during a commer cial break, with the ring, but we were so engrossed that we sidelined the issue until the show was over. Connan was smart enough to actually sleep on it, so I had to go to bed that night, next to her, not having an answer yet. Married three years to actor Connan Morrissey.

Married 14 years to political consultant Craig Fuller.

Blake Robison, Vermont Stage director I didn’t do skywriting or anything like that. We were liv ing in this little hole-in-thewall apartment in the Old

Holly Miller, philanthropist He gave me a ring on my birthday in August. It was a very big, beautiful diamond. To me it was so huge. I told him to take it back. I said, “It’s too big. I can’t wear it.” He didn’t, of course, and I am grateful for that now. For sev eral months I wore it back wards. He didn’t actually pop the question, but it was implied. The minute I got it, I knew. He is a man of few words, mostly action. The ring was enough. Married 13 years to develop er Bob Miller.

Kurt Wright, city councilor We had gone out for quite sometime, so it was something we had discussed. It was a cold, snowy night and my wife — well, now she’s my wife — made a big dinner and I asked her basically, “So what do you

that I didn’t want to get mar ried. He had raised the issue, and I dismissed it. For Christmas, I made him a book of photographs. It had this lit tle story about how much we had in common, about how I fell in love with him. It was the whole story of our rela tionship. At the end was this picture of a Bread and Puppet wedding, and two poems: “Yes,” by e.e. cummings, and “Why Marry at All?” by Marge Piercy. I gave it to him, but he didn’t get it. I looked at him expect ing him to be really happy, but he closed it and said, “Oh, that’s nice.” I said, “Don’t you get it? It’s a proposal.”

When he came the room, I said “ Ask me the uestion.” e said, “ What question?”

think? Do you want to get married?” Married 16years to admin istrative assistant Kim Wright.

Liz Curry, Lake Champlain Housing project director I had been saying for years

M arried six years to Burlington housing official Brian Pine.

Colby Roberts, sales rep I had bought her a dress for Christmas — a long, silver, glittery evening dress. I told her she had to wear it for her birthday dinner, like two weeks later. I took her to Butler’s, at the Inn at Essex. I had already gone there a few days before to scope it out. I told them I

wanted to be seated at this table for two that was right near these doors. Dinner was awesome. As it ended, I pre tended to notice through the window this carousel of lights. She had collected carousels as a kid, so it was a great way to lure her outside. We went out side, and she couldn’t walk down the hill in her shoes, so I carried her down the hill. It was kind of snowy. I took her right to one of the lampposts, where there was some lighting. I took the ring out of my pocket, and as soon as she saw the velvet box, she started freaking out. I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She started crying and hyperventilating to a point where I actually asked her again because she hadn’t said anything yet. She was smiling and crying for like two weeks. M arried four months to sales director Katrina Roberts.

Freddie Cousins, environ mental organizer We had been inseparable for 16 days between our first date and me leaving the coun try. He wanted me to come back, but it didn’t seem practi-

Tw o flo rists fo llo w the trend in bridal blossom s — b a c k to the garden B y D eb A bram so n f you’ve always thought of wedding flowers as a neces sary but somewhat unin teresting presence — like that great-uncle what’s his name waddling over for a dance with the bride — think again. A couple of imaginative Burlington florists demon strate that those wicker-basket, carnation-pocked yawners are a thing of the past. In the hands of Lori Rowe at Vivaldi Flowers and Diana Doll at the Stray Cat Farm, flower arrang ing is an art. The popularity of highly creative and customized floral arrangements might be attrib

uted to an overall shift in atti tude about weddings. In gen eral, notes Rowe, for many contemporary couples the event is no longer a formulaic affair but an opportunity for self-expression. “People are much more involved in the details,” she says, carefully planning each element accord ing to personality and taste. When it comes to ’90s wed dings, it seems, nothing is there by default. Not even the flowers. O f course, that’s fine by Rowe, who clearly relishes the chance to develop a unique arrangement for every brideto-be who walks through the door at her South Burlington shop. “No two weddings I do are alike,” she confirms. “My

arrange ments are based on the bride visualizes the day.” The resulting designs are as distinctive as the clients she serves. For one transplanted Southerner who wanted to show her heritage in the decor, Rowe created a scheme that prominently featured magnolia leaves and bloomed gardenias, which most closely resemble magnolia blossoms. At the wedding of two avid mountain climbers, she created artfully rugged centerpieces: The cou ple supplied logs from trees that had fallen in last year’s ice storm; Rowe draped them in moss and arranged them with

hurricane lamps for a multi tiered and “mountainous” look. For a client who wore her mothers wedding dress, Rowe expanded upon the young womans tribute to tradition by replicating — from old wedding photos — the m oth er’s bouquet. As couples break away . from by-the-book weddings, Rowe also sees brides aban doning formality in favor of a less structured look — and flowers more reflective of the garden, albeit with enormous variety. The cascading bou quets she designs are “less sig nificant, less opulent.” Handtied bouquets, where the flower stems are clearly visi ble, are much in demand. And bridesmaids are frequent ly outfitted in sensible, ele gant black dresses that could easily be worn again to a cocktail party — a decided improvement over the one-

shot horrors with poofy sleeves, in impossible colors and dyed-to-match pumps. The preference for a more natural, relaxed and comfort able aesthetic points to a larg er cultural adjustment: a longoverdue demystification of the concept of “wedding” itself. The myth of the virginal bride, stiffly walking down the aisle to be pawned off by her father, is pretty much extinct. Women — and men — still recognize the signifi cance of matrimony and want their weddings to be special, but they also want them to be

real Diana Doll, who grows her own flowers on the Burlington Intervale, is surely benefitting from this trend. As a grower, she’s “big on the organic and sustainable agri culture movements,” but knows it’s not necessarily ecoconsciousness that draws her clients. It may be, though, the appeal of supporting a local business, and the aesthetic that homegrown, neighborly commerce suggests: her flow ers come from a field “just down the road,” and they look it. Doll’s arrangements are casual and unpretentious. Believing that high style can often translate into heavyhandedness, she prefers to design with a lighter touch. The flowers themselves are seasonal and indigenous — not the hothouse kind nor mally found in the pages of bridal magazines. Not surprisingly, most of the arrangements Doll is called upon to create are for home and outdoor weddings — though within this rubric she accommodates a wide range of economic circum stances and personal tastes. As with Lori Rowe’s, Doll’s emphasis is on individuality. One couple asked her to create a “wild, woodsy” look — appropriate to their wed ding on Halloween. Doll ! obliged by decorating a wrought-iron arch with bitter sweet berries, red birch twigs, red chili peppers, enormous golden sunflowers, and bronze chrysanthemums. The arch was then studded with white lights. The result was like something from an enchanted forest; the only thing missing was the fairies. Some canine-oriented couples include their pets in their ceremonies. Accordingly, Doll frequently is asked to come up with doggie designs. One proud golden retriever strolled down the aisle decked out in a necklace of silver artemesia and maroon cosmos — a Diana Doll original. Both Doll’s and Rowe’s fees vary greatly: The flowers for a simple wedding can cost in the hundreds; a more elab orate treatment could set you back several thousand. For the economically minded — or do-it-yourselfers — Doll offers a pick-yourown option during the grow ing season from April through December, by appointment only. Armed with a map, a price list and some reliable gardening shears, brides-to-be wander the field and do their own cutting, often with an entourage of friends and rela tives. “It’s a popular alterna tive,” Doll says. “People feel like they’re more involved. For them, it’s a labor of love.” ®

cal to come back on the whim of a guy I had been dating for two weeks. I said, “If you’re serious, come to England.” I was three weeks in England by myself, tying up some loose ends, and then Ward arrived. We kicked around in Cornwall, where I grew up, then on Valentine’s Day we were out for a bike ride. We were on a little bridge over a river where I played as a very small child. Standing on the bridge, Ward got all emotion al and his nose started to run. He made a proposal of mar riage in his anorak — it was so cute. Very formal. He was really sort of sincere and emo tional. I remember his nose was running a lot, because of the cold, damp Cornish air. M arried three years to architect Ward Joyce.

On the way to the mountain, I kept saying, “David, let’s go home and take a nap.” But he had it all planned out. When we finally got to the trailhead it was probably four in the after noon. It gets dark at six. He took a couple of pictures on the way up, and David never brings a camera. I was a little bit suspicious, but not entire ly. My mind was on school.

At that stage in our working life, we tended to “go Dutch.” I took her to dinner and then, out on a rusty old bridge that was closed to traffic, I asked her to marry me. I would have had a very wet knee if I had bended it, but I did have the shaky hands. We really didn’t hear a note at the symphony.

A Cut

e lo w B y F l ip B rown ention the word “vasectomy” to most men, and the reaction is predictable: a nervous dart ing of the eyes, a slight twitching of the corner of the mouth, an anxious tapping of the fingers, the unconscious crossing of the legs. Followed by, “How ’bout those Yankees?” Vasectomy, after all, means surgery. Surgery means cut ting into the body — in this case, the most vulnerable part of the male anatomy. The nearly universal fear of vasec tomy may get its start in boy hood: The feet simultaneously slip off the pedals and the tender crotch slams down on the top bar of the bicycle; during sports, the elastic pouch of the jock strap offers little resistance to impact; or in an early conflict, a dirty fighteiHands a well-placed j-f kick. Sooner or later, every guy learns that there is no pain like testicle pain. So like any male, I brought this psychological mindset to the consideration of getting “snipped.” I also brought, of course, my own life history. After an early, childless marriage — and divorce — and various subse quent attempts at love, I found the real thing at age 42. My new partner Sandy and I

had the unmistakable feeling that this romance could last. Monogamy had never felt so good. Four years later, it still does. Though I’d always liked kids, I’d been ambivalent about actually having them. Still, like most people, I assumed I eventually would. Sandy, who had been a step parent during her first mar riage, had felt the same. But now in our mid-forties, the biological clock was not ring ing for her, and it wasn’t tick ing for me. There are plenty ol men who’ve become fathers in their fifties, sixties, even seventies, although whether they could still bend over and pick up their kids is another question. We both decided it was time to look at the idea of let ting it go. The decision didn’t come without a lot of soulsearching, doubt and worry, of course. Over time, I con tinued to examine my thoughts and feelings about having children. On one hand, I knew children were a source of joy and wonder ment, and that nature had provided for the “wiring” of a unique emotional bond between parents and their off spring. Was I crazy to not experience that? I also wondered what my

I thought about many “what ifs.” W hat if Sandy were to tragically die, and after some time mourning her loss, I became involved with a younger woman who was hell-bent on reproduction? W hat if I turned 50 and decided I was now ready to be a father? Then there was the “suc cession” question. W hat if I was feeble or ill in old age — who would take care of me? Who could I pass my precious Beatles collection on to? But in the end, I felt it was simply too late for me. If Sandy and I had a child right now, I would be 64 when my

Eventually, I knew it was time to say goodbye to my fertility. But facing the music — or rather, the knife — still took me a year. I had done the research. I knew I would be joining 500,000 other American men who make the same choice annually. I understood that male sterilization had the low est failure rates of any birth control method,- other than the Norplant device for women. There were a few potentially scary complica tions, but no more so than with certain prescription drugs, or going for a root canal. My doctor, Lindsey Kerr, is a urologist with a great sense of humor. W hen I asked her about other men’s anxiety with the procedure, she replied, “A lot of guys are very intimidated with the idea of somebody fooling around with their privates in not such

child turned 18. Now that’s a scary thought. And when I really considered it, my life was rich and full. I had a wonderful partner, a great job, plenty of friends and activi ties. To be honest, I really didn’t need or want a family of my own. Finally, we both believe the planet has serious overpopulation and ecological problems. Maybe it’s a good thing if some of us don’t add to Mother Nature’s burden. Once we started talking about sterilization, I admit I secretly wished Sandy would simply have her tubes tied. But the medical risks are much greater for women than men, and I would never for give myself if Sandy had “complications” because I was a wuss.

Fortunately we’re logical beings, and can get beyond that.” Kerr is on the list of doc tors that the American Urology Association calls when they need a talking head, and has been inter viewed for Womans World magazine. She was a guest on one of the national morning news shows. As for the procedure itself, Kerr told me she uses a modi fication of the “no-scalpel” technique. W hen she first started doing vasectomies, a centimeter-long incision would be made on each side of the scrotum. Now, a single tiny opening is made in the

Continued from page 20 center, so the tubes carrying the sperm — the “vas,” which are about to be “ectomied” — can be pulled out. They are cut, cauterized and tied off in a triple-whammy designed to end, once and for all, the delivery of those little swim mers. A mere single stitch is needed to close the wound. The weirdest part of the preparation, once I’d done the mental part, was the required home shaving — I needed a clear “landing strip,” as Kerr put it. But taking a razor to an area other than my face was a new and nervous expe rience. When the big day arrived and I found myself sitting in the doctor’s waiting room, I was actually calmer than I had expected. O f course, the anti anxiety medication I had asked for, and taken, had something to do with it. My appointment was for 10:30 on a Friday morning, but, as is the case at most doctor’s offices, they were running behind. I wondered if the Ativan would wear off before I got on the table, but I was so relaxed I didn’t care. When I was finally lying there, ready to go, the doctor asked if a m^d studeqi; cpyld watch my “operation.’* Having few inhibitions left at this point, I said sure. It struck me as ironic, though, that the med student was pregnant — on the opposite end of the parenting continu um from me. The worst part of the pro cedure was the sight of the needle — and knowing where it was headed. But once that was over, I did my best to grin and bear it. Kerr’s “bed side manner” helped a great deal. “Vasectomies are the best example of something that can almost be as difficult for

the doctor as it is for the patient,” she told me later, “because you have someone who is awake, one whom you have the capability of making extraordinarily uncomfort able. You’re working on a pri vate part, and they’re sharing something with you that they would never share with any one else.” In short, Kerr acknowledged that patients who are totally asleep — whose feelings and fears she doesn’t need to worry about — are a lot less troublesome. So we chatted away, and when it was clear she had reached the end, Kerr said, “At this point, I tell all my male patients this: The penis is still attached.” Get this lady a slot on Comedy Central. The recovery was no pic nic, to be honest, but thanks to a day’s worth of codeine, and a job that doesn’t involve heavy lifting, I was back at work on Monday. The blackand-blue discoloration was not pretty, but at least I didn’t have people asking me how it got there. One complication that I didn’t anticipate was the slow, itching regrowth of the shaved hair. This difficulty first presented itself in the middle of a long staff meet ing, and other than shifting in my chair, there was little I could do. W hen I rhentioned this to Dr. Kerr, she com mented with typical under statement, “There’s something about men grabbing their genitals that’s just not socially correct.” Guess she doesn’t watch Mtv. Over time, everything’s returned to normal. I’ve yet to get the 10-week “all’s-clear” report, so I still haven’t experi enced the anticipated sense of freedom that awaits me — and my partner. But one thing’s for sure: As I start to stare down my approaching fifties, I’m not worrying about losing sleep over 2 a.m. feedings. ©

Good vib ra tio n s predate the — by alm ost a centu ry

’60s

women’s hearts since ancient times. In The Technology o f Orgasm: “'Hysteria, ” the Vibrator and Womens Sexual Satisfaction, Rachel Maines uncovers more than a mundane evolution of technology. After explaining how she came to take the vibrator seriously, she makes an excellent case why everyone else should, too, in her exem plary historical analysis of the machines that go bump and grind in the night. While doing research for a paper on

B y E liz a b e t h M illa rd f all the time-saving, labor-lightening devices invented to make mod ern life easier, none elicits more derisive amusement and less serious discussion than the vibrator. Seemingly a product of the fairly recent womens sexual revolution, the toy has been around in various forms for more than a century, with crude antecedents of the inven tion whirring, buzzing and even splashing their way into

textile arts, Maines flipped through turn-of-the-century needlework magazines, finding herself more drawn to the quaint advertisements than the articles. She often encountered ads for “electrical vibrators” that promised to invigorate and revitalize. At the time, she feared she simply “had a dirty mind,” imagining these relax ation tools were similar to neck massagers of today. But as she began to unveil the vibrator’s origins, her primary, instinctive assumptions proved true —

they were in fact designed to bring on orgasm through clitoral stimulation. W ith the perspective of a good historian of science, she figured these tools could tell us something about the social construction of the tasks and roles they were designed to implement — and the views toward women’s sex uality that prompted their inception. Maines found that the invention of the vibrator wasn’t a response to men fretting over how to make their wives and girlfriends more satisfied, or to women who aspired to greater sexual freedom. Rather, the vibrator refined a strictly clinical process. Women’s sexuality was primarily viewed as unimpor tant, and the female patients who complained of symptoms resembling classic sexual frus tration were stamped “hysteri cal” and promptly shuffled into doctor’s offices to be cured of their desire for sexual satisfac tion. This vaguely defined, catch-all psychological disease of “hysteria” prompted a wide range of “treatments” until the American Psychiatric Association removed it from its list of disorders in 1952. “Hysteria” derives from a

Greek word meaning “that which proceeds from the uterus.” As a disease, its specifics have been tinkered with by physicians since antiq uity, but it has always remained firmly in the realm of the femi nine. W ith the work of JeanMartin Charcot and Sigmund Freud, hysteria traveled quickly from the body to the mind. Theories surrounding the dis ease’s origin shifted as soon as Freud’s article, "“The Aetiology of Hysteria,” took the position that hysterics suffered not from sexual deprivation but from “lesions in consciousness” caused by childhood trauma. Although psychology changed the debate for profes sionals, women still were strug gling with the physical effects of sexual frustration. “Many of its classic symptoms,” Maines writes, “are those of chronic arousal: anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, nervousness, erotic fantasy, sensations of heaviness in the abdomen, lower pelvic edema and vaginal lubrica tion.” The cure? Clitoral stim ulation until “hysterical parox ysm” whisked away those pesky girlish symptoms, since the prevailing opinion was that women could not achieve orgasm without penetration.

This firmly ingrained belief that women can be satisfied only through heterosexual coitus — and that something was pathologically wrong with them if they weren’t — freed doctors from explaining, or even admitting to themselves, the treatment's sexual nature. If women gasped and tem porarily lost their senses during the cure’s climax, it wasn’t sex-

ual healing at all, just a release of built-up psychological and physical toxins. “Toxin purging” turned out to be very popular among women, not surprisingly, and a

nice source of income for physicians. Doctors chose this lucrative therapy because, as Maines writes, “these patients neither recovered nor died of their condition but continued to require regular ‘treatment.’” In the late 19th century, it was estimated that as many as three-quarters of the female population were “out of health,” and needed costly treatments for conditions like hysteria. Although they enjoyed billing the repeat customers, doctors grew impatient with the steady parade of fragile females, and abhorred the task of manual manipulation for “paroxysm,” which could take up to an hour, and often dele gated the chore to midwives or interns. The insatiability of newly satisfied clients led to water cures at public baths, private “pelvic douches” and a variety of contraptions meant to cut down labor intensity and expand the number of patients who could be treated. Finally, technology consid erably lessened the burden of extended rubbing with the advent of the vibrator, invent ed in 1880 by British physi cian Joseph Mortimer

Vermont’s acid-jazzers vip erH o ilSB — which according to a recent press release are now calling themselves “mod ern day spasm band,” which I don’t think shows very much sensi tivity to us modern-day spazzes, but never mind — are performing their first-ever opera this Friday at Higher Ground. The vipers seem to be touring more than at home these days, and discovering that word-of-mouth can be a beautiful thing, according to viperchief M ich a e l Ch o rn ey. “It’s working — every show we just played, there was pretty much a full room there to hear the band!” he exclaims. Chorney chuckles about the opera, which, at 20 minutes, perhaps should be called an operetta. It’s based on characters the band has invented in the van. So if you’ve ever wondered what musicians do on those long road trips, check out the as-yet-untitled opera, a viperHouse collaboration in which characters Elmo,

The 32-page, black-and-white comic pub lished by Alternative Comics is a collaboration with fellow cartoon ist Tom H art — Kochalka did the penciling — and is adapted from the Starr Report, but leans on the love. It takes the reader “from Bill and Monica’s first stolen glances to the turmoil, tumult and tears of their breakup.” Sniff. Got a soft: spot for the injured intern? Monica's Story will be available this week at Crow Books.

The King James Version

THE JA ZZ MANDOLIN PROJECT, TOUR DE FLUX (Accurate Records, CD) — Jazz mandolin? Must be a musical eccentricity, surely, like Eric Dolphy’s bass clarinet excursions or Rufus Harley’s jazz bagpipes? In fact, Tour de Flux, the latest C D from Burlington-based Jazz Mandolin Project, is something o f a revelation. Jamie Masefield formed the Project in 1996, but the line-up on the present disc is a one-off, comprising Masefield on mandolin and tenor banjo, Chris Dahlgren on upright bass and Phish’s Jon Fishman on drums. Intended as a permanent record o f the trio’s sold-out 1998 tour and recorded at Charlotte’s Charles Eller Studios, it represents a new departure for Masefield towards a more purely jazz-based vibe. And there are plenty o f old-

Ornette Coleman, Tony Williams, Sam Rivers, to name a few. Dahlgren’s styling and control bring Charlie Hayden to fnind; Fishman drums with precision and unfettered exuberance at once. The man dolin, though, is the real star. Masefield explores every possible jazz approach, from Django-esque swing through complex bop patterns to Eastern tonalities. You get the sense that he knows the limits o f his instrument but has decided to transcend them. O n “Chapeau” he gives it the supple attack o f an alto sax. On “Flux” the sound seems more guitar-like. But the melodic inti macy o f the mando overlays everything, especially on the sleepy blues track “Bhooda.” Hard to believe that it hasn’t been a mainstream jazz instrument for years. There isn’t a hint o f novelty about this recording: It’s a true jazz outing that will reach out to purists and newcomers alike. It swings, it rocks (check out “Nim bus”), and it charms. The trio make a big, rich sound, and unlike a lot o f jazz these days, they’re playing for the audience, not just themselves. If it’s curiosity value you want, check out Harley’s bagpipes — if nothing else, guaranteed to cure a hangover — but for a bona fide good time, don’t miss Tour de Flux. It will change your attitude toward jazz as a living art form, not to mention the man dolin. JMP appears this Wednesday at Higher Ground. — Pip Vaughan-Hughes

THE TRAGICALLY HIP, MOLSON CENTRE, MONTREAL: Friday night the Tragically Hip put on a show at the Molson Centre. It was an epic in the making. They played “Fireworks,” “Poets” and “Enbobcaygeon” from Phantom Power; and classics like “Hundredth Meridian,” “New Orleans is Sinking” and “Lionized.” Gord Downie’s bone-chilling vocals were amazing. Twenty-two thousand people showed up. The spirits and energy of the band and the audience was a great com bination. For those of you who have seen The Hip before, you know exactly what I mean. For those of you who haven’t, the next time they come to Burlington, don’t miss it. — Bobbie Moulton

moving pictures I! Imagine you’re channel-surfing, and there’s a different dance performance on every station. That’s how choreographer Doug Elkins describes his own eclec tic work. He and his nine-member company move seamlessly from ballet to hip-hop to mar tial arts moves at an upcoming show. Don’t expect “Kung-Fu Fighting” as a score, though. More like Mozart and James Brown. . . Friday, February 12. Barre Opera House, 8 p.m. $10-24. Info, 476-8188.

Lincoln is joined by a stellar trio for this special Flynn performance.

Vermont is not known for its racial diversity. In fact, some assert the state’s African-American population was larger in the last century than it is today. In “Making a Living,” Professor Dolores Sandoval leads a discussion on what life was like for New England’s African-Americans while slavery was still a fact of Southern life. The program includes a half-hour film depicting historic images — free black workers worked here as sailors, teachers, barbers and community leaders — often overlooked in the ongoing conversa tion about race in America.

‘Sex doesn’t get funnier or more poignant than this,” The New York Times wrote of “ I he Vagina Monologues” — an Obie Award-winning study of femaleness by playwright Eve Ensler. Based on interviews with hundreds of women — from a Long Island antiques dealer to a Bosnian refugee — the piece covers everything from sex and childbirth to the horror of rape and body-image issues. Oddly enough, Calista Flockhart played a part in its creation. Sunday, February 14. McCullough Student Center, Middlebury College, 8 p.m. $1. Info, 443-5937.

Dear Tom and Ray, We have a 1989 Dodge Shadow. In the middle o f the night on a frig id winter's night, we thought we heard a car alarm going f a t about 2 a. m. It turned out to e our car horn. It seems that any tim e the temperature drops below 32 degrees, ice forms behind the steering wheel and sets o ff the horn. When we brought it to the "car place, " they said we have to bring the car in when it happens. Since it happens in the middle o f the night, that's not reaslistic. Now what we've been doing is disconnecting the horn on any night when we think the temperature is going to drop below freezing and then

Dear Tom and Ray, M y question concerns car horns. Why are horns on some cars (mostly wimpy imports) so wimpy, while the horns on other cars (particularly massive domestics) are so impressive andpowerful? Why can't I ju st go to the junkyard and get a nice, robust set o f Cadillac horns and p u t

them on my wimpy Nissan Sentra? That way, when some id iot does something stupid and I blast him with it, he 'll take notice. — Albert R A Y : W o w , A lb e rt.

SEVEN DAYS A j-. . V

page 51 'I

February 11-17 ARIES (Mar. 21-April 19): My Valentine’s gift: to you is to help you boost )«u r sense o f how attractive you are. To start, close your eyes and visualize the most alluring person you know. He or she is standing in front o f you, wearing whatever you want or nothing at all. Now imagine that this gorgeous angel is gazing at you with tender desire. Bask in that aura for a while, then add to the scene another equally stunning person, also giving you goo-goo eyes. Insert still another raving beauty or irresistible hunk, and another, and another. Don’t stop until you have arrayed before you in your mind’s eye 10 enticing people of your favorite gender — and they’re all glowing with sweet, hot love for you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): One o f the hallmarks o f a talented lover is knowing that there are scores o f erogenous zones to attend to, all created equal and holy. It’s only mediocre practitioners of the erotic arts that are narrowly fixated on the big boom afforded by the genitalia. I bring this up because I believe you Tauruses understand this better than any other sign of the zodiac. And what better time to prove it than the season o f love? Your prime directive this week should be that every part of your body should eventually caress, soothe, fondle, rub and vibrate against every part of your Valentine’s body — no exceptions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I have a special togetherness exercise for you and your Valentine. It’s called Siamese Twins. First, go to a thrift store and buy a jumbo unisex outfit, like a Godzilla-sized sweater and sweat pants with a 60-inch waist. At home, strip down to your underwear, then squeeze yourselves into your joint costume. Each one o f you will be able to have only one arm waving free, o f course. The other will have to be wrapped around the torso o f your sweetheart beneath the sweater. Similarly, each o f you gets one pant

ntil your entire bodies are arming with appreciation.

AQUARIUS

leg for both your legs. Once you’re ensconced, spend two hours and 22 minutes working as a single, coordi nated unit: Tie shoes, prepare tea, play hopscotch. Careening crazily till you fall down is highly recommend ed; let’s see how good you can get at lifting yourselves up when you’re like a turtle on its back.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Wild-hearted Mars plunged into your House o f Erotic Intrigue two weeks ago, and will be swirling around in that sensitive area for an unprece dented five months in 1999. (The last time Mars made such an intense and prolonged visit here was the first seven months o f 1984.) I predict that in response, most of you Cancerians will be consumed by one of two fates. Some of you will fall prey to the idi otic notion (propogandized incessant ly by pop music) that love is more meaningful when it’s interwoven with jealousy, deception and obsession. Others of you will explore scarily sacred depths of intimacy with part ners you’ll learn to trust more than you thought possible. Decisions you make this Valentine season will have a major impact on which path you ulti mately take.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I’m going to give you a special phrase of power this Valentine season. Use it often, whether you just sound it in your mind, whisper it or bellow it aloud. This phrase of power will calm you down when you’re agitated, rev you up when you’re apathetic, make you more profound when you're being superficial, and lighten you up when you’re being too damn serious. It will also lift the shades on windows of opportunity, especially those that open onto romantic vistas, and will turn a light on in the imagination of any person whom you know needs to

connect with you. Ready for your sacred mantra? It’s sex with frien ds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Following an unfortunate romance, 18th-century blacksmith Joseph Moody of York, Maine, veiled his face with a black handkerchief for 32 years. Lady Elizabeth Raleigh, wife of Sir Walter Raleigh, had her husband’s head embalmed after his death, and made it her constant companion for 29 years. And what sets you apart from these two sorry creatures, Virgo? Whereas they never got over their lost loves, you soon will. I predict that by May* 1, you will have exorcised much o f the remorseful romantic karma that’s clung to you far too long. And it all starts this Valentine season.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: A psychic told me that I am supposed to meet an engi neer-turned-hula dancer who’s fond of reciting the poetry of William Blake in a French accent. She said we have a special destiny. Together we will set the world’s record for longest time a Life Saver is kept intact while passed between two people’s mouths. There’s just one problem. I forgot to ask the psychic where I should go to meet this person and how long I must wait, and I can’t afford another $150 reading. Please help. — Wistful Libra.” Dear Wistful: Aaaarrrrggghh! No one knows what your future will be like because your future is determined by what you decide to do! Now sit down, visualize the feelings you most want to experience from a lover, then use all your ingenuity to bring them into your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Polls reveal that almost threefourths of all people think everyone else is having more fun than they are.

For Scorpios, the percentage is even higher, an incredible 88 percent. Given your preference for intensity over contentment, and deep meaning over nice gestures, your suspicions may actually have a factual basis much o f the time. I can assure you, however, that they are utterly without foundation right now. Every cosmic omen is screaming to me that this Valentine season should begin one of the happiest, most pleasurable periods you’ve known in years.

SAGITTARIUS (no. 22-Dec. 21): Which will it be this Valentine season, boss, war or love? You can’t have both. Will you devote your considerable resources to design ing an ingenious and covert form of revenge? Or will you channel that same energy into conjuring a break through in your ability to blend com passion and lust? To define the ques tion from a different angle, will you exultantly spew out projections of ugliness on your beloved enemy, or will you diligently hunt for the miss ing keys to awakening your beloved’s secret fire?

CAPRICORN

(Dec 22 Jan. 19): In the Hindu epic the M a h a b h a ra ta , the hero and heroine fall in love without ever gazing upon each other, simply by hearing tales about each other’s good deeds. I sug gest that in designing your Valentine mating ritual, you draw inspiration from them. Try this: After dessert, find a place where the two of you can talk without seeing each other. Sit back to back in comfy chairs, or arrange to have a curtain or thin wall between you. To start the festivities, describe to your sweetheart a scene from his or her life that made your heart swoon with admiration and attraction. Then have him or her return the favor. Trade back and forth

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a piece of paper, please, and write down all the qualities your perfect mate would have. When you’re finished, burn it and swear you will live without such a list for at least six months, begin ning this Valentine season. True love has elaborate plans for you in 1999, you see, and will not stand for your crusty old agendas getting in the way. But let me go even further. These days, romantic ideals are akin to pornography. They would only inter fere with your appreciation of real flesh and blood.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Frankly, I’ve always been half-terrified when amazing lovers give me big beautiful blessings. I can’t help but worry that maybe I don’t deserve them. I fantasize that it might be bet ter to refuse the gifts so I don’t have to live up to the crushing responsibil ity of accepting them. As you might guess, this, pathology tends to inter fere with me receiving big beautiful blessings. That’s why I’ve worked so hard to get rid of it. And why am 1 telling you all this, Pisces? Because it’s one way you and I are very much alike, and this Valentine season is a perfect moment to seek your own miracle cure.
