SMITH’S BRAVE VISION Were Lakeview Terrace still in Ward 3 and not absurdly ger rymandered into Ward 7, I would vote for Tom Smith. In lieu, I can regret that Kevin Kelley ended his piece (“Mr. Populist,” February 3) on Tom with such a foolish and mindnumbing quote from John Patch. Mr. Patch calls Tom Smith “out of touch with how things are now,” and extols himself with the weird praise of being “less partisan and more middleof-the-road” than Tom. To honor the “middle of the road” (which essentially means to favor letting the interests which rule continue to rule) is far from being either non-partisan or vir tuous. Nor is partisanship neces sarily a vice. Moreover, to appear out of touch with how things are now (which, judging by what Tom Smith is reported to say in Kevin’s story, he is far from being, anyway) can indicate not a failure of awareness but a brave vision of things better than they are now. — Neil Heims Burlington

BOOMERS STILL HAVE VALUES Your cover story on Tom Smith repeated a journalistic cliche to the effect that the vast majority of baby-boomers politi cally active in the 1960s and 1970s have become disillusioned and sold out. The implication is that Tom Smith is therefore some sort of weirdo for sticking to his beliefs and remaining a social activist. I’m not sure if the claim that those in their ’40s and ’50s are generally lessening their politi cal activity is true or not. I do know that I have seen this opinion baldly stated as fact or “com mon knowledge” at least 20 times in the media, with never any evidence to back up the claim. In my area, the backbone of the progressive movement is still comprised of people from that generation, and, if anything, their activism is far deeper than in the ’60s. I also have some sympathy for Dave Dellinger’s notion (I believe mentioned in his book, More Power Than We Know) that the gov ernment wants us to give up and retreat into our cubicles, and that the media consciously or unconsciously drills us with the message that social activism is useless. There are some phrases and choices of words used in the article that attempted to portray Tom Smith as an eccentric museum relic, but

quite possibly the end result of this long exercise in idealism-bashing may well have been to engender more sympathy, not less, for folks like Tom. — Michael Arnowitt Montpelier BASIC VALUES We’ve heard a lot about the despair of the religious right, about the. disappearance of fami ly values. I understand the despair because I share the feeling — not because of the values they espouse but because the values I grew up with are now seen as out of style. Thus I was pleased to read the profile on Tom Smith (“Mr. Populist,” February 5). Thank God that some one still holds some basic values and, more importantly, is willing to apply them. — James Higgins Bristol MARX LIVES It was surprising and refreshing to see Karl Marx’s name in print in a non-hysterical context (in Kevin Kelley’s February 5 article on Tom Smith). Marx, of course, was one of the great 19th-century philosophers, a passionate humani tarian who struggled with the growing horrors of the early industrial revolution. While many of his specific predictions have been precluded by developments he could not have foreseen, his analysis of rampaging capitalism is still pertinent and illuminating. But most importnat was his desire for a world where no one would be exploited and impoverished, where the general welfare would be more important than private profit, where the brother- and sisterhood of all humanity would be valued and nourished. Those who gag and shiver at his name have probably not read him. It was courageous ofTom Smith to claim Marx as his heritage in a political landscape where even the word “liberal” sends politicians scurrying. Marx was not responsible for the hor rors of the gulag or the grey poverty of Eastern Europe. Like Tom, he made no prescriptions for how to set up a decent society. His gaze was fas tened on what he saw, and what might happen. And that is exactly what we need now — leaders at every level who will look around, listen to their hearts, and accurately describe, and help us respond to the suffering in America and the world. — Marc Estrin Burlington

Scars? Dear Cecil, I have been searching for the answer to this question for some time now. I hope you can solve my dilemma. W hat was the Leaning Tower o f Pisa originally designed to house? Such as, apartments, shops, observatory, m onum ent, etc. Thank you in advance for any help. — Rebecca Smith, via the Internet

Get Tuned!

You get questions in this business that give you pause. The other day someone writes in and says, “If making a robot limb is so hard but other types o f machines are easy, how come no animal species has ever evolved wheels?” Had to think about that for awhile. The purpose o f the L.T. o f Pisa is in a similar vein. Since, unlike the wheel thing, the answer isn’t likely to come to you by process of intro spection, I’ll just come out and tell you: it’s a campanile. This perhaps raises addi tional questions in your m ind, e.g.:

■board Shp,

Q: W hat’s a campanile? A A bell tower. Q: W hy a bell tower? A: W hy not? Guys, being guys, always want to build towers. In fact, the region around Pisa was famous for them. But the best excuse for a tower they could come up with in the 12th century was: We could put bells on it! Whereas we 20th-cen tury sophisticates, with our mature grasp of the architectonic possibilities, would be more likely to say: W hat a great place for a satellite dish. Q: Seriously.

Stov***

A: “The bell tower {was] begun in 1174 as the third and final structure o f [Pisa’s] cathedral complex,” the Encyclopaedia Britannica says. Scientific American, howev er, says construction started in 1173. I’m not saying EB screwed up. But you remember what they said about drawing and quartering.

TAIN ROAD IN STOWE • 253.4593

Q: So what’s the deal with the slant? A: You’ve heard the expression “building on sand”? The Leaning Tower o f Pisa is exhibit A. All o f the Piazza dei Miracoli, the square in which the tower stands, is subsiding, but the spot under the LT seems particularly unstable. The tower began to lean while it was still under construction. Q: So why’d they keep going? A: You’ve never dealt with contractors. During the first phase o f construction, from 1173 to 1178, the tower began to lean slightly north. W hen they got to the third level the builders made the walls higher on the north side and snorter on the south side to level out the top. Q: W hy didn’t they just start from scratch? A: Maybe they figured nobody would notice. Possibly you’ve known contractors like this. Another possible explanation comes to m ind when you look at a cross section o f the tower. The thing is massive, with masonry walls maybe eight or nine feet thick at the base. All told, the tower weighs 14,700 metric tons. T he guys may have figured, no way we re doing this sucker over. In 1178 construction halted due to “political unrest.” (Probable translation: the unions went on strike.) By the tim e construction resumed in 1272, the building was leaning the opposite way, toward the south. A reasonable crew would have concluded: this project is doomed. Lets see if we can unload it on somebody with astigmatism. Not the Pisans. They added stories four through seven. A t level five, having previously zigged south, they decided to zag north, making the walls noticeably taller on the south side in an attem pt to square things up. This gives the building the squashed-layer-cake look it has today. Construction halted again in 1278 (more unrest) and resumed in 1360. Bear in mind that it is now 187 years after the first stone was laid, the rower is danger ously out o f true, and there are still no bells in it. W hat the hell, say the Pisans, lets put in some bells. They add the eighth and final story, the bell chamber, ; which zags even further north, and at some poin t Install the first o f seven bells. The largest o f these, cast in 1655, weighs nearly three and a half tons. Q : These people have no clue.

Vermont, C D ) — The first, and title, cut o f central Vermont’s Estes Boys tells the story, more or less, of this family’s affair with music, practiced at a vacation retreat in Maine — a boarding house called Hilholme. The Estes Boys, it turns out, are really dad (Phil), sons Allen, David, Bruce and Raleigh. Bassist Joyce — who appar ently doesn’t mind being one o f the boys

— and fiddler Matt Levenworth are hon orary Estes’. A verita ble Partridge Family of old-timey music. As is

“Last Time” and lickety-split bluegrass numbers like “Hard Hearted.” Tenor and mandolinist Bruce Estes most evokes the Appalachian high-and-lonesome sound, though all the Boys have hayseeds between their teeth. W ith three guitarists and Allens harmoni ca, The Estes Boys have a fuller, richer sound than the traditional bluegrass four-piece — especially when all four Esteses sing in chorus, as on the lively “I Wonder How the Old Folks are at Hom e.” The Boys display good V ...... ...............

C ontinued from page 9 arena-worthy the next, emotional, tempo-shifting songwriting and sizzling production values, Get Dressed Twice leaps out from the piles of recordings that cross my desk. I’m not at all surprised to read that the debut CD was AudioNet s alternative “Pick of the Week” last month, nor that Speed’s set at CMJ’s Music Marathon was packed. He’s said to be a theatrical and sometimes prankish per former, but in the studio •* Speed has only his consider able vocal range and unique, full-throttle tunage, some of which sounds like part of a rock opera — especially the dynamic “There’s No Spectacle Here.” Get Dresseds five songs build from the sing-songy, alt-slowpoke opener, “In the Skin,” to the anthemic, efifects-riddled “Put it Right Against Me,” and the result was: I wanted to hear it again. Good sign. Get Dressed Twice is short but way sweet. Keeta Speed makes his first appearance in Burlington this Monday at Metronome, with Salad Days and Be That Way. □

In his other life, cartoonist Kochalka has nothing but praise for his new publisher, Black Eye, based in Montreal, while trashing former California publisher Slave Labor for its “low production val ues, putting out a lot of crap.” Apparently he throws his own previous releases into that catego ry.

Theyre not trying to do a big publicity blitz or anything, says guitarist Danny “Little Danny C” Coane — just a small publicity blitz, aka Rhythm & News. But the news is, The Throbulators are back! The late, great throbabilly four some, who disbanded in 1991, were wooed to a series o f gigs last summer at Tyler Place, a family resort in Highgate. It was such

fun that “we decided to reactivate it, not really for the club scene, but we’re available” for parties, etc. The line-up includes Coane’s wife and bassist Kathleen Finney Coane, guitarist Tyrone Shaw and drummer Mike Cech. Luckily, confirms Coane, they still fit into those great retro out fits.

Word comes from the road that Vermont folkie Rik Palieri is con tinuing the fine tradition o f social protest laid down by his mentor and pal Pete Seeger.

Tripp is not seeking pity in writing his painful memoir — most of the book reads like a self-exorcism — but one could n’t help but feel deeply sad for what our government asked of him and his fellow soldiers. For it is Tripp who carries for the rest of his days the guilty mem ory of a Vietnamese child who accidentally sets himself on fire with some napalm Tripp leaves out. It is Tripp who remembers feeling like “the Gestapo” lis tening to the screams of Vietnamese peasants tortured by electric shock in the “tiger cages” for information about the Viet Cong.

fter being booted out of office in 1993 and scrap ing back in two years later, Peter Clavelle admits he’s sur prised to be facing no majorparty opponent in Burlington’s March 4 mayoral election. The absence of serious com petition, Clavelle suggests, may reflect general satisfaction with his third term as mayor. “Progress is being made on a number of fronts,” he declares. “There aren’t a lot of issues to challenge me on.” At least a few critics — to Clavelle’s left as well as to his right — do find causes for dis satisfaction. But there is a wide spread feeling that these are good times for the Queen City, expressed concretely through the upsurge in investment activ ity. Current development ini tiatives may be of a magni tude not previously seen in Burlington, Clavelle notes. Political finesse is another reason why the mayor is enjoying a smooth ride to reelection. By monopolizing the middle ground — the place where successful politi cians now tend to congregate — Clavelle has left Repub licans and Democrats little room to run. “I didn’t make a conscious decision to move to the cen ter,” insists the 47-year-old career public official. But, he quickly adds, “I make no apology for being pragmatic.” City Hall-watchers of all persuasions do see unmistak able differences between the currently cautious Clavelle and the previous model. No longer does he crusade on behalf of controversial social causes, like the domestic-part ners benefits proposal that probably cost him the 1993 election. Clavelle had to swallow “a dose of reality” as a result of that unexpected defeat, says the man who beat him, Republican Peter Brownell. “It caused him to recognize that he has to look after the needs of his con stituency, which is not the same as the people he surrounds him self with.” The comparative quiet of the past couple of years “pleases a lot of people,” Brownell believes. “Many Burlingtonians were viewing city government as carrying out social experi ments with their tax dollars.” Clavelle has been “supercareful,” especially during the past year, adds Republican City Councilor Kurt Wright. Upon returning to office in 1995, Clavelle initially resumed “the power-politics games” of his previous two terms, Wright says, pointing to the attempts to swing a tax-exemption deal on a Fletcher-Alien parking lot and to ram through the appointment of a city assessor who was delinquent on his own taxes.

Clavelle shifted his tactics “once it became clear that there were those on the City Council who would be speaking out,” argues Wright, the leader of the conservative opposition. “He’s become more business-minded and less political-minded.” So unobjectionable is the Progressive’s recent performance that Brownell says he’ll have few qualms about voting for Clavelle on March 4. Further delay in completing the Southern Connector is one source of concern for the for mer mayor, who now serves as a Chittenden County state sena tor. Clavelle had promised to get the road “on track right away, but it’s still in that gray space out there in the future,” Brownell says. Wright won’t be adding his own vote to Clavelle’s winning

to-day issues facing the people of this city. Most residents of the Old North End aren’t par ticularly concerned with ideolo gy,” the mayor continues. “But they do want a city government that’s working in their interests. Given the tenor of these times, the mayor is probably correct in his assumption that he has little to fear from die hard anti-capitalists. But Clavelle could face a weightier challenge, mainly from his left, on the plan to build a Filene’s department store downtown. “Unlike most mayors,” observes longtime peace and justice activist Robin Lloyd, Clavelle “has had experience in the developing world. He’s seen the downside of large-scale pro jects, and he knows the kinds of conditions people are some

actually shop there, says Baird, a Green candidate for mayor in 1989. “It’s the absolute antithesis of sustain able development.” If Clavelle’s campaign has a single theme, it’s pegged to the notion of sustainable develop ment. The mayor frequently uses the phrase in describing his vision for Burlington. It means, he says, that “those who carry the burdens of development must be able to benefit from what is taking place.” Sprawl, he adds, “is the sin gle greatest challenge to build ing a sustainable community.” And to halt sprawl, it is neces sary to “encourage growth in existing centers. We need to be prepared to create cities.” The development spurt

Knodell. “But it’s something that obviously needs to be done.” Knodell, who is not seeking re-election, says she often feels that many important battles have already been fought in Burlington and won by Progressives. That may be why the City Council has become a less contentious and, some would say, less interesting arena in the past few years. In addition to preserving local gains, Burlington must take on some responsibilities previously shouldered by the federal government. Welfare reform is one of the “hot pota toes” Washington is passing off to the states and localities, Clavelle notes. The federal government’s complete cessation of public housing construction likewise places increasingly heavy bur dens on cities across the country. “Probably no small city in the U.S. has done as much as we have to pursue an affordable housing strate gy,” Clavelle declares. But, he warns, unless Washington takes initiatives that cities cannot, “we’ll be seeing legions of new homeless — not just individuals but entire families.” Clavelle is also trying to persuade the feds to extend some of the funding for the $3 million Enterprise Community program, which is slated to expire later this year. The federal dollars that make the College Street Shuttle free are also about to run out. The mayor is look ing for another source of funding for this popular ser vice, which is part of his “multi-modal transportation strategy.” All three major road-con struction projects in Burlington — completion of the Southern Connector, widening of Main Street and renovation of Riverside Avenue — are certain to get underway in 1998 and be completed the following year, Clavelle promises. The mayor of Vermont’s largest city also needs to address statewide issues. And none of these is more vital to Burlington, Clavelle says, than the current debate over educa tion financing and property tax reform. He plans to speak out loudly on this subject in the coming weeks, but he’s not yet specifying what steps should be taken — other than saying he’d “much prefer a [school funding] system that is income-based.” The current mayor may not have the charisma and inspira tional impact of his Socialist predecessor, says Jane Knodell. But they’re different personali ties, she notes, suggesting that “with Bernie Sanders the under lying emotion is anger at injus tice; with Peter Clavelle, it’s love for this city.” □

themiddle o f the , P eter Clavelle beyond easy re-election» and fin d s o jf critics from right and, left tally. The New North Ender faults the administration’s han dling of the million-dollar debt on waterfront land and says Clavelle was too quick to sup port the School Board’s propos al for a four-cent tax increase. Disgruntlement with the new Clavelle also can be dis cerned within the Progressive Coalition. Although its mem bers speak only positively for the record, a few complain in private that the mayor has all but abandoned the class-based politics practiced by his prede cessor, Bernie Sanders. “Peter’s a city manager by nature,” laments one unhappy Prog. “He’s not doing anything a Democrat — a moderate Democrat — wouldn’t do.” Clavelle claims to be unfazed by such talk. “My political values are rooted in Progressive thinking,” he says. “My job is to make sure there’s a direct connection between Progressive politics and the day-

times forced to work in.” Lloyd is calling community attention to a report prepared by a U.S. textile workers’ union that accuses Filene’s parent company of contracting with sweatshops in Honduras, Indonesia and Brooklyn. “I don’t think Burlingtonians want to buy sweatshop products,” says Lloyd. “It could be a shout heard across the country if the people of this city reject a deal based on the sweatshop issue.” Sandy Baird, chair of the Burlington Democratic Party, opposes the Filene’s develop- * ment for other reasons as well. “It will be an upscale suburban development in the heart of the city,” says Baird, citing the multi-story parking garage and food court that are to accompa ny this expansion of Burlington’s own shopping mall. Few people living within walking distance of Filene’s will

occurring near the waterfront is helping drive Burlington’s tran sition “from a big town to a small, dynamic and livable city,” Clavelle says. The mayor is far from defensive in regard to recent and planned construc tion, including Filene’s and the hotel-market project proposed for the King Street Dock area. Such development will insure that “downtown provides not only a tax base but a job base,” Clavelle says. “We’re cre ating a downtown where people work, live, enjoy the arts, and come to eat, drink and shop.” Leading Burlington along that course is Clavelle’s overar ching aim for his next term as mayor. He will also be striving to maintain the programs put into, place during 15 previous years of Progressive governance. Holding onto what’s been won is “a lot less sexy and a lot less visible” than embarking on new initiatives, observes Progressive City Councilor Jane

n a cold and snowy morn ing in January 1994, four local students filled their daypacks with food, water, extra clothes and a few essential emergency items, including a flashlight. Heading out for a day of telemark skiing in the powdery backcountry glades above the Bolton Valley Touring Center, they didn’t expect to need any extra equip ment, but as trained wilderness EMTs, they packed for an emergency, anyway. By day’s end, the extra precaution proved invaluable. With the growth of backcountry skiing and the explo sion of snowshoeing, more and more people — like these stu dents — are heading to the hills for adventure. But who’s there to Ogreet them — or save them — when things go wrong? And who should pay the tab when the state police, scores of res cuers, and sometimes even scent dogs come in to sniff out a lost or injured person? At Bolton Valley, the resort maintains a nordic ski patrol to ensure the safety of guests using the marked trails. But beyond Bryant Camp, out into the unpatrolled territory along the Catamount Trail leading to the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, skiers and snowshoers are on their own. Free to cut their own tracks, they also take their own risks. And, search-and-rescue experts say, they should be will ing and able to accept responsi bility for their own well-being. “I think it’s great that more people are going out in the woods. That’s what it’s all about,” says Jim Morris, a Bolton nordic patroller and telemark enthusiast. “I am con cerned with people who go through [from Bolton to Trapp] with no margin for error; with no food, extra clothing or even the barest bones to construct a shelter.” Although the students, all

members of their college outing club, knew enough to enter the backcountry with the right gear, they weren’t immune from errors in judgment. One of the most important rules of the backcountry is to travel in groups of three or more so that one person can stay behind while another goes for help if a party member is injured. Late in the afternoon, the students violated that rule so that one couple could keep skiing while the other returned to the car. Although an injury didn’t occur, their knowledge base was cut in half. The couple who headed back to the car also happened to be the least familiar with the

expert ground-pounders,” says Lt. George Contois, leader of the State Police Search and Rescue Team. He’s also the per son who makes the decision about when to go in after the 10 to 20 hikers, skiers and oth ers who become lost or injured each year in Vermont’s woods. Contois knows that nothing feels better than when you return a missing person to their family, but he also believes in patience and a measured response. “Time can be essen tial, but not critical,” he says, noting that in many cases the “missing person” isn’t really missing at all, and the expense of a false alarm is still signifi cant. More importantly, he says,

and called in the Stowe Hazardous Terrain Evacuation Team to secure the northern corridors and assist in any rescue should it become necessary. If the state police are “expert ground-pounders,” the Stowe team are experts on the ropes and in the mountains, extricat ing injured outdoor enthusiasts from the most challenging predicaments, Contois says. Led by Neil Van Dyke, the Stowe unit is made up of a dozen vol unteers and is one of only three town-supported technical res cue teams — all of which are in northern Vermont. According to Van Dyke, a shift in our winter landscape

he won’t put rescuers at risk until he knows the urgency of a situation. At Bolton Valley that night in 1994, with two healthy and well-equipped skiers lost, Contois recommended contain ing the area so that if the stu dents found their own way out the rescuers would know it. The Bolton nordic patrol secured the trailheads of the touring center and sent a person up to check Bryant Camp. Contois posted an officer on the Waterbury side of the mountain

has led to an increase in the number of calls to his unit over the past few years. “Ice climbers in the Notch have a different ethic, where they expect to take care of themselves,” says Van Dyke, contrasting them to some of the skiers and snowboarders today who wander off the trails at the alpine or nordic areas. In fact, one of the thorniest issues nationwide is the respon sibility of resorts, the National Park Service and other organi zations to conduct and pay for

terrain. They had followed their friends into the woods, and when they parted, each assumed they could find their way back safely. Tired from a day of climbing and skiing, and with falling snow covering their trail and obscuring visibility, the pair made a wrong turn. W ith the daylight fading and temperatures dropping, they got lost. In Vermont, the state police are responsible for 90 percent of the land mass statewide; they’re also responsible for all missing or lost persons. “We’re

search-and-rescue operations when an individual goes astray. While marketing new in-area gladed skiing and hundreds of acres of “off-piste” trees between trails, Vermont’s ski areas take pains to inform their patrons about the limits of their ski patrol ser vices as well as the resort’s lia bility. “Just like anything, you try to have the guest under stand their responsibility,” says Bill Scheer of the Vermont Ski Areas Association. Recently, the Vermont Legislature threw their weight behind the industry, saying that any person who chooses to leave resort boundaries can be held liable for all expenses for search-and-o rescue serZC 5 vice. ° Although Lt. Contois ^ hasn’t billed ^ any offendm ing party =*= yet, he says § that doesn’t mean they won’t in the future. “Some peo ple will get themselves into a posi tion that shouldn’t be paid for by the peo ple of the State of Vermont.” Back at Bolton, the issue of who pays never came up. Contois’ assessment of the situ ation was correct: Patience was the best policy. The two stu dents, realizing their mistakes, doubled back over their route. At just past midnight, they eventually found their way to a landmark — Bryant Camp. Together with the nordic patroller, they skied to safety under the glow of their head lamps. □

child’s scream shatters the early morning quiet. With a stomping of stairs and a swinging of doors, parents convene from opposite ends of the home. The little girl has run from the family room shrieking, shaking. Her hands, her breathing, her whole body are quickly checked. But in the next instant the reason for her hysteria becomes clear: The Barney Imbroglio. That’s my girl. Three years old and already a media critic. Not that she isn’t mad about the dopey dinosaur. She is. But there’s a problem, and it began a year or so after she first fell in love. Despite the fact that she gets to watch her favorite show on two separate PBS sys tems — Vermont ETV and New York’s Mountain Lake Television — she almost never sees an episode she hasn’t already watched dozens of times.

Which wasn’t in the PBS mission statement the last time I looked. And it’s gotten me to thinking about children’s programming and some of the pros and cons of public TV versus traditional commercial broadcasting. I’ve been scratching my head over this Barney imbroglio in partic ular because he is the figure with the highest profile in the business, and because he is the most flagrant repeat offender. Also, I work at home and have to put up with these things, too. So why are there so few new episodes? “Barney & Friends” is, after all, one of the most popular shows in the world. Their problem can’t be money. Barney’s a $200-million-a-year conglomerate with divisions for clothing, video tapes, books, toys and the like. The people at Barney, Inc. seem interested in producing anything and everything. Except new shows. Throughout the year the stations hold pledge drives and receive hundreds of thousands, or millions, of dollars, and a lot of that money also goes to the people behind Barney. So why is my daughter watching episodes made in 1992? Didn’t subscribers already pay for that show five years ago? Where are the episodes people are paying for now? If Barney weren’t on public television, this couldn’t happen. His old shows would

be relegated to syndication and viewers would be guaranteed a reasonable number of new episodes per season. But public television syndicates itself. PBS is essentially its own oldies sta tion, recycling its program ming ad infinitum. Look, it’s Mr. Rogers wearing bell-bot toms! The more I think about it, the less dopey this dinosaur begins to look. Unless I’m wrong, Barney, Inc. has, in fact, pulled off the marketing coup of the century. I’ve come to view the monolithic mer chandising entity as the real business of Barney, Inc. and the half-hour shows aired by PBS as, in effect, that entity’s TV ads. After all, that’s the func tion they perform most effec tively — creating a demand for ancillary products. Sure, the shows can probably be demon strated to possess some educa tional value. One of my daugh ter’s favorite Barney songs helped teach her manners (“Please and thank you, they’re called the magic words...”). I think we’ll all agree, however, that function is undercut some what when young viewers are driven screaming away from the television. What a deal these guys have put together; not only is their business guaranteed pre mium television advertising targeted directly to its market, it gets all these millions and millions of dollars worth of air time without paying a cent. In fact, the company is itself paid millions by PBS for the privi lege of airing the stuff. And who gives PBS those millions? You and I do — the same peo ple who buy Barney’s merchan dise. It’s brilliant: Their cus tomers don’t just see their ads — they pay for them, too! Now I don’t really mean to single out the purple twerp. To a degree the same can be said of the organizations behind “Sesame Street,” “The Magic School Bus” and other chil dren’s shows. It’s just that the educator-to-huckster ratio with Barney seems particularly iffy to me. And none of the others make my daughter wail the tortured wail of the damned while I’m trying to enjoy my coffee. Oh, and about that theme song: Hold the great big hug and kiss, Barn. W hat we’d real ly like from you is an honest day’s work. We’ll even use the magic words. □

Review ABSOLUTE POWER**1/* He’s no Kubrick or Fellini, but Clint Eastwood is smarter than the average bear, and he has made some awfully good movies — Bird’, Play M isty For Me, A Perfect World, Unforgiven. For every classic there’s been a clunker, though: Firefox or The Rookie, which was painful even by Charlie Sheen standards. Absolute Power is far from painful, but the lat est from the sun-dried hunk ranks with the more forgettable films o f his career. Eastwood does his best Hitchcock imita tion with this one, the story o f a charismatic UNFORGIVEN A career crimi. and refined cat-burgler (d la Cary Grant in To cile with his estranged daughter between routine Catch a T hief who, in the process of commit conspiracy caper scenes in the latest from Clint ting a theft, unintentionally witnesses a killing (Rear Window). Eastwood’s character can’t Eastwood. come out and identify the killer of a wealthy young woman because: a) he’ll then have to admit to robbing the mansion, and b) the man the victim was with is the-President o f the United States. Gene Hackman is more or less squandered in the role of the Commander in Briefs. The part is underwritten and, as a result, he’s indistinguishable from a hundred cartoon baddies we’ve seen since Watergate. He’sJust another figure whose power we are expected to equate automatically with corrup 3 tion. Judy Davis is similarly misusedas his cranky Chief o f Staff, the woman who takes control o f the cover-up in the wake of the young woman’s death. The bulk o f the story is devoted to a three-way game of cat and mouse played between the thief, who wants to expose the shooting, the Secret Service, which wants to terminate Eastwood with highcaliber prejudice, and load law enforcement in the person of Ed Harris, who believes Clint pulled the robbery and wants to nail him for that and, while he’s at it, the murder, too. Lost in the middle of this muddle is a far more interesting film about an aging man {Clint) and the daughter he hopes it isn’t too late to get to know. Laura Linney co-stars in the role, and I would’ve gladly traded all the cops-and-robbers stuff for a bit more o f the cautiously tender exploration between these two.

complete stranger.

But shadowy gunmen kept twirling silencers onto high-powered rifles, White House insiders kept turning into Jekyll & Hyde-type psychos and Ed Harris — who it’s nice to see not acting like a psycho for a change —- kept closing in on Clint and screwing up the family reunion. So, while it has its moments, Absolute Power isn’t anything I can’t imagine, say, Steven Seagal having made. More than any film from Eastwood in recent memory, it’s capable of lapses into absolute nonsense.

SEVEN DAYS

If you are searching for guidance regarding a life deci sion and friends or family have been unable to help, some suggest turning to an “entity” for advice. According to Burlington-area channelers Bernice Kelman and Annie DiSpirito, many people seek out a channeler — that is, a psychic who receives messages from a discarnate spirit, or entity — when they’re faced with an important life decision. “People usually come for any type o f counseling when they’re at a crossroad,” Kelman says. “They don’t know which path to take or why.” “My clients come for clarification o f problems,” adds DiSpirito. “Sometimes they come for confirmation — they already made a decision and they want to know [if] they made the right decision.” Kelman and DiSpirito describe channeling as provid ing a physical body for an infinite consciousness who exists on a higher plane and speaks through the channel er, offering people a broader view o f existence. Though channelers can work with a number o f entities, Kelman primarily channels “Sir Garrod,” and DiSpirito works with “Sananda.” Like a patient and doctor, says Kelman, each individ ual should find and work with an entity who can com fortably address his or her needs. “We never tell [clients] what to do, and the entities never tell them what to do,” agrees DiSpirito. “In fact, if a channeler tells you to do something in a specific way, run to the nearest exit. Very often these people are trying to control you.” - > ; ‘ „ - 7 ■' "r to

teach their clients how to resolve their problems through unconditional love. “Both Sir Garrod and Sananda really encourage peo ple to listen to their own inner wisdom,” says Kelman, “and give them exercises and techniques to do that, to see themselves as lovable.” Although people often seek channelers when they are experiencing a life crisis, Kelman says her clients ques tions are quite diverse. “People have asked questions about their diet, insur ance programs, their relationships, their other lives. ‘What does our universe look like from the other side, and ‘Is there life after tennis?”’ she laughs. “Sometimes they are just looking for expanded awareness... they know there’s something more to reality than what they re dealing with and they want to get into it.” Kelman doesn’t limit the length o f her sessions, for which she charges $60, nor does she restrict the number o f people who can participate. The sessions can take place at her home, a clients home, or on the phone. Some clients may revisit her only every few years or so for “checkups,” but most come more frequently. At a session last week with Sir Garrod and Sananda, participants included curious newcomers and college stu dents as well as devout members o f the spiritual communi ty. Those present say they enjoy the social aspect and affir mation o f belief systems these can provide. Sometimes the questions asked by other participants — and the entity’s corresponding answers — will pertain to their own lives as well. For many people, it is hard to believe in a practice such as channeling — the practice and its effects are intangible and cannot be proven scientifically, W hile DeSpirito agrees that channeling is not for everyone, she maintains that, even her mofe qlose-mmd^ddlents have, had positive experiences. “People walk away with lots o f different emotions,” says DiSpirito. “Most o f the time they’re $ r ^ “A happy and thankful, and we get call from them saying, ‘Yeah, it was right on.

BIGGEST DAMN CALENDAR IN VERMONT

February 20-26

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A thorny astrological aspect began pricking our collective conscience around the tim e the U.S. Suprem e C ourt agreed to hear Paula Jones’ sexual harrassm ent case against Bill C linton: Mars in opposition to Saturn. This configuration epitom izes the need for discipline and responsibility in the use o f sexual energy. O n average, it occurs briefly every two years. But during the first seven m onths o f 1997, in a rare spectacle, the two planets will sync up in a showdown on three separate occasions. And guess which sign will feel m ost intensely the com m and to be discrim inating w ith the m ost powerful natural force on the planet? Aries, o f

TA UR US (Apr. 20-May 20): Today my Taurus friend Daniel told me about the disconcerting impact of his recent success. I think his testimony is exactly what you need to hear as you begin to receive treats that are even bigger and better than what you wished for. Here’s Daniel’s story. “It was like I called for a cab,” he said, “aad* jet showed up instead. At first I . didn’t want to Himb a b o a rd ? !' * myself, ‘Do l really a t? Do I much power?’ Ultimately, 1 1 theyrild ride, but not, itions.”

com pete in a contest in which slam dunks were illegal and you had to hop on one foot every five times you dribbled the ball. As soon as you figure out the quirky new rules, though. I’m sure you’ll be checkm ating kings and swishing three-pointers.

CANCER

(June 21 -July 22): I predict you’ll have a rather drug-like effect on people this week. W hich drug? At various times, your im pact will resemble either Prozac, cognac or an aphrodisiac — and som etim es all three simultaneously. W hat are you going to do w ith all that power to alter m oods and kill pain and expand minds? I recom m end that you whip up a frenzy o f support for your pet project and lead a charge in the direction o f the far horizon.

disagreements. For some twisted reason, no such holiday exists today — or didn’t until now. 1 predict and hope that you Virgos are about to launch a new tradition. From now on — please please pretty please — you will set aside the last weekend in February for the sacred work o f healing schisms between you and those you care about. As soon as you finish reading this, I beseech you to call the friend or loved one from whom you’re most estranged.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Excavation tim e, miners! Grab your picks and shovels — m etaphor ically speaking — and start digging. N ow you m ight justifiably ask, “W hat exactly is the purpose o f this project?” To which I would reply — m etaphorically speaking — “To unearth the treasure you buried m ore than eight years ago, o f course.” (By the way, please don’t resort to overkill techniques like bulldozers, as they m ight damage the buried goods.)

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): I asked m y subconscious to show me a scene th at’d help me give you the right advice. W hat bubbled up into my m ind’s eye was a sum m er afternoon in O hio when I was 10 years old. My brother Tom and I were playing catch w ith a baseball. T hrough the open kitchen window, m y m other called out, “D inner’s ready.” Tom imm ediately turned around and

SEVEN DAYS

from a whiskey bottle to a dead owl’s wings to a sculpture o f a hum an heart pierced w ith arrows. At dusk on February 1, I drove to the beach and created a gorgeous shrine using your symbols. T h en I torched it. As the bonfire raged, I prayed th at you’ve learned all you need to from your heartache. I begged the Goddess to release you from the karm a that brought you the pain. A nd I asked that if your relationship w ith this torm ent could not yet be finished, then at least you’d receive m ore grace and help in bearing its burden. By now, you should be experiencing the ritual’s benefits.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Ethelred the U nready was king o f England at the end o f the last m illenium . Som e say he acquired his nicknam e because he lacked good advice d uring his struggle against the Danes. But others insist it was given to him following his baptism as an infant, w hen he urinated into the font containing the baptism al waters. I

Dear Lola, I'm nervous about talking dirty in bed. My partner is encouraging me to do it more, but I feel so silly saying bad words and making obscene requests, I just want to laugh. I’m also afraid she’ll become insatiable and I’ll never be enough for her. What should I do? — Tongue-tied in Tunbridge Dear Tongue, everybody does it to some extent — but easy does it, too. you probably think you need to jump in with red-hot pom talk, which is enough to make anyone nervous. A better way to start is by reading an erotic magazine together in bed. It’s fodder for the imagination, and you can figure cut which words turn her on. your actions can take over from there. Maybe pretend you’re in a "blue” movie — playing a character will greatly reduce your own performance anxiety, you may even find it fun. your mate may be panting for more — but I’ll bet you will, too. you’ll figure out where to draw the line. If you really want to. With love,
