PEOPLE NOT ILLEGAL On behalf of Vermont Refugee Assistance, I would like to thank Kevin Kelley and the editors of Seven Days for the article entitled "Living Like a Refugee" (February 11). I would also like to correct a misquote

that illustrates fundamentally different ways of viewing immigrants, refugees and non-citizens. On page 26, I was quoted as saying, "We're [Vermont Refugee Assistance] not in the business of transporting illegals..." The actual statement that I made was "VRA is not in the business of transporting "undocumented individuals," but volunteers do so sometimes." It is a strongly held sentiment among advocates for non-citizens in the U.S. that there is no such thing as an "illegal human being." The term "illegals" illustrates a larger attitude that places state or legal law above moral law. Most non-citizens of the U.S. would choose to stay in their home country if not for dramatic reasons like civil war or a general state of militarism. Others leave their homes because the current global economy continues to shift wealth from poorer nations to richer ones. We are our language. Our words define much of who we are and design our relationships with the

world. I would like to think that we can create a world community that treats individuals with respect — regardless of their origin. Maybe a first step could be to reserve the term "illegal" for acts of a true heinous nature and not for a class of individuals who are really, after all, just following in the footsteps of many of our great-great-grandparents. » — Patrick Giantonio Vermont Refugee Assistance Montpelier HEMP MISINFORMATION? The letter from Senator Ready, "Support Hemp Bill" (February 4), requires a response. The Senator has obviously bought into the "facts" pushed by the pro-hemp lobby and ends her letter with, "Your grandchildren will chuckle to think that the current misinformation about hemp once passed for some as mainstream opinion." What "misinformation is being offered, and by whom? To misinform means to give false or misleading information. I know of no false or misleading information given to the House and Senate Committees by those testifying against the hemp bill. The Committees received written documentation to support all testimony received. Conversely, facts offered

by advocates and given to the Committees by hemp advocates were challenged as being either blatantly untrue or extremely misleading at best, i.e., International Paper will buy all hemp grown in Vermont; hemp can easily replace trees as a paper source; hemp needs no fertilizer, insecticides, pesticides or fungicides; one acre of hemp produces as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees; hemp will give Vermont farmers a cash crop valued at over $400 per acre, etc. The State Police supported a U V M study of the hemp issue, confident that it would expose further myths. Though the report relied heavily on information received from pro-hemp sources, it reached some interesting conclusions. The study showed that under a "best-case scenario" with ideal growing, processing and production conditions (conditions that will never exist), Vermont farmers would receive approximately $100-154 per acre for hemp production. These same farmers are paid approximately $215 per acre for hay and $400500 per acre for corn. What happened to the $400 plus per acre touted during the hearings? Where is the windfall that will save our struggling farms? A farmer from Lamoille County said it would cost him over $100 per acre to prepare his fields for planting. While I don't have a degree in economics, I believe if I owned a farm in Addison County with "flat, fertile fields" alluded to by the Senator, I would plant corn or hay where the return is substantially greater; I could harvest the same acre of hay multiple times over the growing season, and be paid two to three times for the same acre of product. The report also notes that hemp will do best on our current prime agricultural land, though it will grow on lesser but still productive soils. Does that mean that farmers would be putting currently unsuitable farm land into production, as I was told by a legislator? Who is spreading the misinformation, Senator? The farmer from Lamoille County said it well: "There are two other reasons I won't grow hemp — I don't smoke it and cows won't eat it." I believe my grandchildren will be chuckling about how easy it was to fool some elected officials , with orchestrated misinformation. — Captain Donald E. Ravenna Vermont State Police Waterbury

VINCE'S COMEBACK? 8 The scheduled Thursday morning 1 Professional Conduct Board (PCB) hearing on | whether or not to reinstate Sen. Vince Illuzzi's I (R-Essex/Orleans) license to practice law has I been postponed until late March. It promises to 1 be quite the show. There's even a Lewinsky-like 1 air, with the senator charging a 1 with notedsexual Vermont and1 a ® 1 impropriety : TV reporter : personal vendetta. 1 Illuzzi is quite a character. | He was first elected to the | Vermont Senate in 1980 at the age of 27, making him the youngest Vermonter ever elected I to serve in that chamber, and | he's been sent back by the voters I in every election since. He !J chairs the Senate Institutions i Committee and is the | Republican whip. He has a well1 earned reputation for taking care of I his constituents in the Northeast * Kingdom, the poorest part of 1 Vermont. Many refer to him as the | "King of the Kingdom." | Everybody calls him "Vince." « On the other hand, in his 1 role as an attorney, Vince's repu1 tation isn't quite so sterling. As 1 a lawyer he's been brought up | on charges before the PCB five _ times and has a reputation for * playing things on the fast and 1 loose side. Vince's most recent suspension from lawyerit ing stems from the fact that he blew the whistle on Judge David Suntag for not abiding by a I state law Illuzzi authored in 1992. It required | the judge to hold Essex County Family Court | hearings in Essex County. The problem was, Suntag was holding hearings on Essex County cases in Orange County, and that's quite an 1 inconvenience for the parties involved. 1 Illuzzi wasn't the only one to complain that a Suntag wasn't following the law. Former Sen. J Mike Metcalf (R-Essex/Orleans) did. In a 1993 « Free Press article, Metcalf called Suntag's conS duct "unconscionable." | Likewise, Sen. Bill Doyle (R-Washington), I in a letter to the Joint Committee on Judicial * Retention, wrote that "there is an expectation 1 that judges will follow the law." And Sen. Dick Sears (D-Bennington) noted | | they heard "a great deal of testimony from I Northeast Kingdom residents who were con® cerned about being left out." The judge even 1 signed up a professional lobbyist to save his job. | It worked, though the vote was a close one. But Illuzzi was apparently the only lawyer g complaining, and he did so in formal com® plaints to the Judicial Conduct Board (JCB). I That was viewed as retaliation against Suntag's | wife, Wendy Collins, who had successfully I prosecuted Illuzzi before the PCB on other * charges. ^ In August 1996 the Supreme Court | reviewed the matter and suspended Vincenzo | for 18 months. The Supremes noted that I Illuzzi, "shall not be reinstated until he has * demonstrated to the Professional Conduct S Board by clear and convincing evidence that he J has the moral qualifications, competency and I learning required for admission to the practice g of law in this state...and that respondent has • been rehabilitated." Illuzzi is expected to bring a bus load of dis| tinguished character witnesses before the board I to give evidence that he's mended his ways and ® deserves to be given back his right to practice i his trade. Counsel for the PCB is expected to | argue against a reinstatement. | Things got very interesting this week when I Illuzzi learned that WCAX-TV's crime reporter ® Brian Joyce was listed as a witness by the other I side.

Apparently, what's tweaked the interest of I the PCB's counsel is a March 1996 story Joyce § aired in which Vince was portrayed as lobbying | other lawmakers against voting for the retention . of Judge Suntag. Bad boy. But Illuzzi told Inside Track that he I "recused" himself from the Suntag vote. He said g he refused to testify before the judicial retention | committee even though invited, and "did not speak on the floor and did not 1 » K vote. 1 In the Ch. 3 story, Brian asked, "Some might think that you are once again trying to take retaliatory action against 1 the judge on the issue, where g you've agreed that what you did § earlier in this regard was improper?" Vince replied, "Well, first of § all, I did agree that, for the pur- g pose of trying to resolve the case, two weeks before the elec- ® tion of 1994, that that was a I way to resolve the case that they j had filed against me for com| plaining about the judge." Illuzzi told Inside Track he 1 did not lobby against Suntag's § retention. However, when asked | about the matter by fellow law- g makers he responded with printed information on the 1 laws, one of which states, "no | Essex Family Court cases shall g be heard in any other location except Guildhall." Illuzzi said that Joyce's report was "outrageous," and that a fellow sena- | tor referred to it as a "hatchet job." . « "It was an unfair story," said Illuzzi. "[Joyce] • took comments out of context. This guy had it 1 in for me ever since he had a sexual relationship | with my former fiancee when I was engaged to | her," he charged. » Joyce denied it. 8 "That's completely untrue," the TV crime § reporter told Inside Track Tuesday. "I've always | covered the senator in a fair, ethical and accu- « rate way," he said. "He has never said those things to me." 1 Illuzzi countered by saying he has complained in writing about Joyce to his superiors, g

As for the specific allegation that Joyce had 1 a "sexual relationship" with Illuzzi's fiancee (circa 1986) while she was still engaged to the | senator, Joyce replied, "Never, that's untrue."

Fleece Award — Bet you didn't know that once g upon a time Vermont was the nation's leading producer of sheep and fleece. This week, as you 1 do know, Vermont received a national fleece award courtesy of "NBC Nightly News with | Tom Brokaw." The fleece in question is the $18 million Charlotte-to-Burlington Commuter Rail project. 1 NBC did it up in fine style in a "Fleecing of | America" segment Monday night. It's NBC's view, and the view of many locals, that the project is ludicrous. They say there simply aren't enough folks to ride the train. But the mystery is, | just how did NBC News get wind of the story? | Enter Steve Ciardelli, of Burlington's New _ North End. Steve's a political junkie with a healthy sense of humor. He was an unsuccessful | Republican candidate for the legislature in 1996. A few months back he wrote NBC and g passed on information on the project he says he * obtained from the Agency of Transportation. 1 Steve said the story would have aired sooner, but "was delayed because of the Monica thing." | As for blowing the whistle on an alleged pork „ project popular with many, Ciardelli said, "If you're not against them when they're in your | own backyard, you can't be against them in other places."

lipping through The New York Times the other day I noticed, not without a certain guilty pleasure, that the journalist Martha Gellhorn had died in London at the age of 89. Gellhorn was once a nemesis of mine, back in the days when I was writing about women reporters and the effect they've had on world events. Do you all know who I'm talking about? Probably not: Martha Ellis Gellhorn, born in St. Louis, educated at Bryn Mawr, was sentenced by temperament and circumstance to life as an American literary expatriate. She was a journalist, a novelist, a "tourist of wars," part of that worldwide "Federation of Cassandras" — her own phrase — whose job it is to keep an eye on the deviltry of nations. During the 1960s, Gellhorn's criticism of American foreign policy got her barred from Vietnam. Earlier, in the 1930s, she was at the center of the international anti-fascist movement and pled the cause of Republican Spain in the Roosevelt White House. She covered the invasion of Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, the fall of Berlin, the horrors of Dachau. Gellhorn knew a majority of the literary notables of her era, but will probably always be remembered as the third wife of Ernest Hemingway, a man she came to despise with all her heart, and whom she forbade other journalists to talk about when they attempted to profile her life and career. Me, for instance. In 1990, I was assigned to do a story about Gellhorn for the now defunct Lear's magazine and was told at in no tm^rtain t e r r ^ m* eimorns m to Ernest Hemingway was a forbidden topic. She refused to be interviewed about it. She demanded .

exclaimed — that the name of Ernest Hemingway would not be mentioned anywhere in the magazine. And there were to be "no tricks from the editor," she added, no "biographical boxes" to give the game away. "I do not want my name associated with his," Gellhorn said, knowing perfectly well that Lear's would cancel the story as a result and that I — although she certainly wasn't thinking about me — would be out about $5000. "It's that connection to the Great Dead that they want," Gellhorn grumbled over the phone. "I resent and loathe it." She was a bitch, all right, but she was a bitch with integrity. I'm thinking about Gellhorn now, not just because she's died, but because she's died at a time when the most famous woman in the United States is a plastic, pampered, loud-mouthed "former intern" who owes her vastly inflated notoriety not to any achievement of her own, but to her presumed association with President Clinton — specifically, with a particular part of President Clinton. Whatever Monica S. Lewinsky may amount to in the future, you can bet on this: Her fame will always rest on her lascivious relationship to the First Organ. Lewinsky, of course, is only the latest, the most revoltingly exalted, in a long line of big-haired nobodies whose exploration of the male anatomy have won them a permanent place in the stinking cesspool of American celebrity: Gennifer Flowers, Lorena Bobbitt, Amy Fisher, Paula Corbin Jones.

Navarro is president of Alianza, a Latino student association, and the call was from Dot Williams, the group's faculty advisor and the college's director of Multicultural Affairs. She wanted to remind him to do his flyer for an upcoming workshop on gender stereotypes. Navarro laughs as he recounts the incident. "She wakes me up, she's fussing at me, and I'm thinking, there are only two people who could do this and I wouldn't hang up or call them back: my mother rCyTand Dot." A lot of people feel that way about Williams. A 58year-old African-American, Dorothy Williams came to St. Mike's eight years ago from Mississippi to help the nearly all-white school become more welcoming to students of color. "I was looking for someone who could create a new position," says Mike Samara, vice president for Student Affairs, who hired Williams. The position would have two pieces, he explains. The person would serve as friend, model and mentor to individual students, and would educate the entire campus about issues involving tolerance and diversity-

Whether she's prodding a crowd or nurturing a protege, Williams projects a powerful blend of inner strength and outward compassion — the persona of a.firm but loving grandmother. She describes herself as a "mother hen," a phrase that others frequently use as well. LaVar Williams, president of St Mike's Martin Luther King Society, waxes reverential: "Dot comes across as a mother with her unconditional love. She takes you under her wings and then lets you take off." february

DOCTOR OF DIVERSITY: Do! Williams in her office at St. Michael's College

Foundation, a Catholic nonprofit that promised to support the students financially. When the organization didn't fulfill its commitment, the Bowman scholars felt abandoned, isolated and angry. "Dot inherited a ; situation that was really at the eye of the storm," Samara reports. "And given that it was Dot's first year in Vermont and all the transitions she was trying to make, she handled it very well. Dot's office was set up to be user-friendly for students of color." Today, Williams' broadened job description reflects her service to the college's entire multicultural community. Besides advising ALANA students, she „s produces programs to promote •'"*.. on-campus tolerance around b race* gender and sexuality. She I teaches an African-American \ history course as an adjunct professor, serves on the Vermont Human Rights Commission, and gives lectures and workshops around the state.

SEVEN DAYS

illiams grew up in Greenville, a catfish farming community at the delta of the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers, in the deeply segregated days of the early 1950s. The town had one public school for whites, another for blacks, a third for Chinese-Americans, and separate was far from equal. While the white high school offered a full academic program, the black school stressed home economics and the building trades, Williams says, and used hand^ - d o w n books. Her seventhgrade classroom was a corrugated tin building with grass coming through the floor. Despite these injustices, Williams is quick to stress her gratitude for the love and support of her mother, a school teacher, and her grandmother, Roxie Anna James, both of

PROM KING Who among us has not at some time needed a benefit to cover the rent? That's basically the mission of Rent Party Prom, aka Hard Rock Prom, next Monday at Toast: one heck of a show — with Chin Ho!, Spill, Battershell, Chainsaws & Children and In Harm's W a y — and the video release of last fall's Groove Apocalypse mega-concert, all in support of Big Heavy World. Tuxedoes optional. The official Web site for Burlington's "urban scene" (www.bigheavyworld.com), as scenesters certainly know by now, is owned and operated by James Lockridge, who has singlehandedly delivered the Queen City to the World Wide Web, and without any of its beneficiaries paying one thin dime.

. . . . S T R I N G T H E O R Y I read somewhere that if Robert Johnson hadn't been born, the blues would have had to invent him. The same might be said about blues picker/singer extraordinaire Rory Block. In fact, I've got a theory that Johnson's legendary Faustian deal had one rider: that he get to come back as a woman to do it all over again. Yeah, Block has branched out from her gritty country blues to more contemporary sounds and other traditions — even Celtic. But it's her gutbucket Delta sound that rings truest in my book, and her raw, gloveless vocals that make you forget she's a white girl from New York City. But after all, she did learn at the knees of the Rev. Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt and Son House. Block is an American original, even as she interprets black music history. This Thursday she joins other six-string sensations — the "King of Swing" Herb Ellis, jazz giant Stanley Jordan and classical player Sharon Isbin — in a "Guitar Summit" at the Flynn. That's one summit few can top, but all of us can take a peak.

And indeed, this Englishman named William Topley sounds for all the world like he was raised on black-eyed peas and black music. And a lot like another blue-eyed soul man from the British Isles — Van Morrison. Topley's Black River earns his Southern stars and stripes forever. At Metronome Wednesday.

So cough it up, people, for Big Heavy Jim, and pay your props while having a good time — even you few brave ones with the Big Heavy World logo tattooed on your ass (or wherever). By the way, the all-ages event is alcohol-free — acquire your buzz of choice before you go. Speaking of which, Buzz Homebrews Nicole Hegeman will host live interviews with the above-named bands in the station's studio this Friday at 10 p.m. (By the way, she also assures me she is in fact playing Chin Ho!'s "Low Flying Planes" on Homebrew — despite politics to the contrary as reported here last week.) One last plug: Groove Apocalypse, the movie (videotaped by Azure Moon Productions), is available for rent from Waterfront Video. Proceeds go to Spectrum Youth & Family Services.

DISC MANIA Has anyone else noticed the epidemic of compilation CDs out there? Now Soundboard is getting into the act. The South Hero-based 'zine edited by Pete Gershon — and devoted to improvised and experimental music — plans to release its first (which implies there will be more) comp in April. Soundboard Masters, Volume One: The Burlington Jazz Scene comes free with a year's subscription to the publication. The disc will include live tracks from Jazz Mandolin Project, The Gordon Stone Trio, Stacey Starkweather's Option Anxiety, James Harvey Quintet, ViperHouse, Freefall and I'm Big & I Can Dig. Sounds promising. But I can assure you that, no matter how much we support local music, Seven Days has absolutely no plans to issue a compilation CD. At this time. IN THE FOLKFRONI Looks like the Green Mountain State left its stamp on Memphis, Tennessee, last week at the North American Folk Alliance Conference.

Burlington singer-songwriter Rachel Bissex reports that she ran into fellow Vermonters Steve Gillette, Cindy Mangsen, Margaret & Dan McArthur, Rik Palieri, Mark Greenberg, Lafe Dutton, Mitch Cantor, Louise Taylor and Dana Robinson at the annual folkie shindig. Taylor scored a formal showcase gig, while Bissex held her own on smaller stages, including a surely boisterous situation called the Kick Ass Women's Showcase. You go, girl! Bissex adds that she, Taylor, Gillette and Lisa McCormick have been invited to the big Folk Festival round-up in Kerrville, Texas, this spring — where they're sure to kick some big, lone-star butt.

SINGLE TRACKS As reported on these pages recently, Helicopter were rebuffed by the Vermont trademarking office, told they couldn't register a mere noun — despite legal opinion to the contrary. So they will soldier on with more cumbersome business name of The Helicopter Consortium. Would that be "chopper" for short? • All that East Coast touring is paying off: Burlington's Non Compos Mentis charted at number 19 last week at C M J with Smile When You Hate. • Our dear departed Neil Cleary, aka Stupid Club, reports from his new home in Austin that he finally garnered some ink for his solo CD, Made to Feel— a mostly positive review from the big-city weekly, The Austin Chronicle, though the reviewer chastised Cleary for his "cutsier-than-thou" stage name, Tad Cautious. • Chuck Eller has recently scored the Schwarzenegger of mixing boards: a "total recall" all-digital console that remembers every move you make...every breath you take, etc. Though it won't remain the only one with this latest technology, Charles Eller Studio may always be the only one with a windmill. ®

DAYS

Boston's Best Local Band last year, but their honkin' live show does. Don't ask questions, just put it out for the Pit, this Saturday at Toast, sandwiched between The Figgs and Candy Butchers.

2 4 2 , H O W DO Y O U DO? he future of 242 Main St.,

Burlington's all-ages venue synonymous with punks DIY ethic, was addressed last week in an open forum sponsored by its overseer, Burlington City Arts. The meeting may have shed light on some of the teen centers issues, but netted few tangible results. Representatives from the city arts office met with 242 Main volunteers, as well as independent interests and concerned citizens, to discuss how the club, which is funded in part by the city, might open its doors to a wider, more diverse audience. Currently, the club, located in the basement of Memorial Auditorium, is run by a dedicated but loose collective of young people who seem to have adopted an anti-corporate agenda compatible with their musical ethos. Although this stance has preserved some credibility among their core audience, it's also prevented bands representing different, more mainstream tastes from also reaching new, larger audiences: i.e., the point of the meeting. Eric Burdo, one of 242's central volunteers, argued that the current policy is not intended to operate the venue as an exclusive enclave for punk/hard-core bands, but that most bands with broader popular appeal can play Burlington's larger clubs, like Toast, Metronome and Nectars. He cited 242 Main's all-ages, no-alcohol policy, not-

ing that revenues from alcohol sales enable other clubs to pay bands larger sums and remain operable. Tom Baggott, executive director of the upcoming Burlington Music Conference, countered that a band he represents was denied the opportunity to play at 242 Main because their record was distributed by BMG, the world's largest music distributor. In addition, Baggott claimed that such exclusions "threatened to turn the club into a clubhouse." Baggott later provided copies of a proposal for operation that he had drawn up in support of reestablishing 242 Main as an equal-opportunity venue. Burlington City Arts currently covers slightly more than half of 242 Main's paltry annual operating budget of around $6000; the rest is generated at the door. The city's interest in 242 traces back to the early 1980s, when the former Mayor's Youth Office (established by then-Mayor Bernie Sanders) held the reins of the teen center and provided after-school programs as well as live music for the city's teens. City Arts hopes to make the center more accessible and more diverse once again. But this may be more easily said than done, as there are no additional funds currently slated for 242. City Arts will issue a survey next week (see these pages) to determine the constituency's feelings on the future of 242. Unless and until another plan is adopted, its volunteers will continue to book bands as they see fit. They are, after all, the ones running the show. — Patrick D. Rondeau

lesson she learned from her grandmother, she adds: If you're black, you have to do any job extra well. Williams taught Social Studies for a few years, then went to Riverside, California, to pursue a PhD, leaving her son in Mississippi to be raised by his grandparents. While at Riverside, she served as a Resident Director â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only African-American RD in the entire University of California system. Two years later, hung up by Riverside's French requirement, she answered a call for black high school teachers to come to Las Vegas, where there had recently been a riot. This was 1971, "right on the heels of Kent State, and in the midst of the black power movement," Williams says. Once again, she was an unwitting pioneer: the only black American government teacher in all of Clark County,

After high school, Williams studied journalism and worked briefly as a reporter and in public relations. When she applied to a white-owned Southern daily and was told that the newspaper "wasn't ready to hire a Negro," she decided that her future lay in teaching. To earn her credentials, she commuted 50 miles by bus, and supported herself with domestic work. "I did it as if I were special assistant to the President of the United States," she says.

Williams' life experience makes it easy for her to connect with students like Navarro, who says he was "shellshocked" when he came to white Vermont from his racially mixed high school in Holyoke, Massachusetts. "I had a roommate who made some racist comments. I had problems back home with someone I was seeing. I didn't feel like I fit in," relates Navarro. "But I remember countless afternoons in Dots office talking to her about my problems and her consoling me, telling me that in order to solve a problem you don't run away. You solve the problem by staying." Williams' perseverance and optimism also make her a moving and persuasive speaker. "You know Dot s on the premises just by the way her voice carries. Sh^s a very outspoken person," says Navarro. Adds Randy Orso, a St. Michael's senior and gay activist, "Dot speaks from the heart. She's very passionate, very down-to-earth and accurate. She can be really honest. That's hard to find in an administrator." Last year, when students in a St. Mike's dorm woke up to find "dyke" scrawled on their doors, Williams spoke out at a forum on hate speech. Orso, who attended the forum, says, "She expressed her anger and her frustration, and her realizing that there's got to be a constructive way to vent that." Sue Wilson, an active member of St Mike's Ally Group, agrees: "She'll challenge the audience at the same time that she Won't alienate them. She'll offer up solutions or open it up for the possibility that we have the solutions within ourselves." "Dot's role has been to help us each to hold a mirror up to ourselves to help us get a sense of who we are and what we believe," adds Samara. But Williams isn't content to simply reveal the status quo. Like a good mother, she also insists on growth. "Dots the compass," LaVar Williams attests. "She puts us in the right direction." ÂŠ

Several of the kids are surprised to learn that medical, food, furniture, clothing and child-care expenses can easily come to $20,000 during the first 12 months of a baby's life. None of them is ready to have a baby any time soon, they say. And they're resolved to do what it takes to make sure they don't. he attitude of the

Woodstock teens is mirrored in towns around the state. But it hasn't always been that way. In 1991, Vermont's teen birth and pregnancy rates — which includes pregnancies ending in abortion or fetal death, but not miscarriage — were soaring, and no one • knew why. Of every 1000 girls aged 15-19 in the state that year, 65 got pregnant. More than half — 39 per 1000 — carried their babies to term. Those pregnancy and birth rates were well below the U.S. averages in 1991, but they were the highest the state had seen in a decade. Health officials — not to mention parents and other Vermonters — were nervous. Now, Vermont's teen pregnancy rate is plummeting faster than in any other state. In 1995 the rate was 49 per 1000 girls aged 15 to 19 — a 33 percent drop from four years earlier. It's not that teens in Vermont aren't having sex — kids are doing it here as much as they are in other states, officials say. And it's not that they're all getting abortions, either. The teen abortion rate in Vermont — roughly 20 per year for every 1000 girls aged 15 to 19 — is below the national average, and the number has actually been declining for several years. Officials cite several state policies -— most of them enacted within the past decade — that they believe contributed to the drop in teen births in Vermont. First, Vermont has made an enormous effort to get teens covered by health insurance. The reasoning is that, if they're covered, they'll see doctors more often, talk about sex with them more, and have a way to pay for contraceptives. They'll also stay healthier in general. Since 1992, Vermont's

remembering to take their pills. While three out of every 100 women on the pill tend to get pregnant during the first year — often because they don't take it correctly — those odds are three o w o f ^ every thousand on Depo. Another new medication, the "morning-after pill," is also beginning to have a positive effect on teen birth rates, according to state and national officials. Up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex, women can get a prescription for a high dose of birth control pills to drastically reduce their chance of conceiving. For many women, the experience is an unpleasant one; vomiting is common in morning-after-pill patients. But for some, including many teens, the short-term malaise seems to be worth it. While this use of oral contraceptives was just approved by the Food and Drug Administration about a year ago, the morning-after pill has been "the best kept secret in contraception" for several years, Stickney said. Sexually transmitted diseases are another significant factor in teen sex education — teens are acutely aware that unprotected intercourse can be fatal. So, in addition to the pill or Depo, many of Vermont's teens now use condoms, which they know protect against AIDS. Others use condoms as their primary method of birth control. The trend is national. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a

research center in New York, 36 percent of American teenaged women used a condom during their first sexual experience in the late 1980s. By the early 1990s, that figure had jumped to 54 percent. "A lot of people are scared about getting AIDS," concurs Laura Jenkins, 15, a freshman at Rutland High School. "Anybody could have it...it's not always gay people. It's people who aren't careful." Unlike pills or shots — which require advance planning, doctor's visits and money — condoms are cheap or free, and can be easily used during unplanned sex. Although most Vermont schools still shy away from giving them out, teens know where to get them. 1 ith birth control readily available, and awareness about the risks of sex high among Vermont teens, just who is getting pregnant? Kalandros of the Lund Home says some of the young mothers in her charge have deeply rooted emotional problems. Although they knew about birth control and had access to it before they got pregnant, they just didn't have the selfesteem, communication skills or presence of mind to use it at the time of sexual activity. Many of these girls were already high school dropouts, or poor students, before they

the problem, and that there was a need for citizens here to speak out in public, and I wanted my children (who are 10, 8 and 5) to experience that process. It was educational for them, but even more so for me. The beginning gathering, with soapbox statements from various perspectives, was interesting and thought-provoking. The march down Main Street, with drums beating and chants of "Hey Clinton/Hey Gore/ We don't want your bloody war," was energizing and inspiring. Along Church Street cheers and raised thumbs from onlookers indicated support. After a stop at the post office, the energy started shifting more and more. An attitude of provocation started surfacing, bolstered by a few "leaders" (those with loudest voices) who seemed determined to create tension (even if be with innocent drivers making their way down the street). Many of the protesters went their way as the mob mentality gripped the remaining group. I went for a cup of coffee. On our way back to the car afterwards, we ran into the remainder of the protest in front of The Burlington Free Press. By this time, supposedly because the crowd had learned that U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was inside, they were attempting to push their way in. Violent energy was

got pregnant, Kalandros adds. Many came from troubled homes, and often had been abusing drugs and alcohol from a young age. Many started having sex as early as age 12 or 13, and some of the girls thought they wanted babies to ease their loneliness. The Lund girls' anecdotes

* If people want to have sex, they're going to have it. Nothing's really going to stop them." - Jasmine Hall high school sophomore prove Kalandros right. They don't discuss at length the problems they were having at home and school when they got pregnant, but it's clear that they had access to information on sex and birth control; they just weren't listening. Or,

brewing. When I tried to express to one of the "leaders" that this behavior was not accomplishing anything, certainly not getting anyone to listen to the important issues (if anything turning bystanders against the group), and that all the positive energy and images of the protest would be lost when the newspaper reported this peasants-bearing-torches energy. I was told by someone that this was "civil disobedience" and had to be done because otherwise the newspaper would not report anything at all. It doesn't take more than a rudimentary knowledge of the principles of "civil disobedience" to see that what was occurring was closer to resembling a college frat house brawl (except instead of being drunk on alcohol, these people had become drunk on the power of the group, the issues blurred in the delirium), and it takes just a bit of simple marketing knowledge to know that this display was not going to sell anyone outside the group itself on the issues that this mob was representing. Gandhi or the Berrigans this wasn't, and if Vietnam protests were like this, we'd never have gotten the public support to stop that fighting. I spoke to one angry protester (who had earlier been loudly idealizing to the crowd the beginning of a new political party — the "Party of Compassion"), suggesting to him some compassion for the policemen and women (who were handing the explosive situa-

worse, they didn't care. Amanda Bean got pregnant at age 13, the very first time she had sex. She used no birth control. Nineteen-year-old ChristaMaynardof Colchester, who also has a fivemonth-old baby, was using the withdrawal method with her boyfriend. Both girls thought that it couldn't — or wouldn't -— happen to them. "I thought my life was going to be perfect," Bean says. "And having sex was fun." Lund resident Jessica Thayer, a 16-year-old from Winooski and the mother of a six-month-old baby, had been living on her own in New York City and wanted to get pregnant. She imagined moving in with her boyfriend and starting a family with him. But her boyfriend didn't want anything to do with her or the baby once she got pregnant. The Lund girls hope to reach as many teens as possible on outreach trips to high schools, and get frustrated when they encounter students who don't seem to hear what they're saying. These deaf ears remind them of their own. Maynard says she cringes when she sees couples making out in the high school hallways. "I just want to go up to them," she declares, "and say: 'Safe sex!'" ®

tion with calm and restraint), and was told by the man who had made the statement about "civil disobedience": why should we, they're cops, they work for the government, they have guns. (Hearing the self-righteous justification in his voice, I was glad that this man, and some of the remaining "protesters" didn't have guns.) I left the scene. My heart was sad and my hope for a more peaceful world shaken; and even sadder when quite predictably the news reported about the anti-war protest that became violent. (Woody Allen's cynicism regarding leaders, as expressed in Bananas, ran through my mind.) Yes, the anger and rage against this government preparing to wage this kind of attack must be expressed, but what I saw happen was the rage and anger go out of control, flamed by self-appointed "leaders," become a mindless mob, rage unbridled and misdirected, and as ugly and dangerous in its own way as the forces they were there to criticize. I learned a lot: about power, protests, leaders and the difficulty of this ever becoming a more peaceful, more sane world. I wonder, long-term, what my kids learned.

manent — status as victims? The women's movemeht in America began in the 19th century as not just a fight for equal rights, but as an affirmadan of women's integrity, of women's right to be and to be defined as women on their own terms. Frequendy — usually — those terms were individual, as they always are for men, so that the giants of American feminism in its first incarnation were all highly eccentric, completely unique characters, bent on changing and shaping the social order through the force, not just of politics, but of personality, inventiveness, irreverence and mischief. Alas, I fear all this is gone and forgotten in a culture that insists on political correctness and becomes more "mass" and crass with each new scandal and each stupid, school-girlish description of "distinctive curves" in the shafts of power.

GOAL ORIENTED: L'etoiles, an adult women's hockey team in Middlebury, takes its time out.

rowing up, I tried to ignore winter as best as I could. I was a soccer player, and all that winter afforded me was snowball fights, days off from school and an indoor track requirement for gym class. Skiing and sledding were as absent from the New York City

did have Rockefeller Center and, therefore, we had figure skating. The activity made a dull impression on me: pink girls and middleaged men spinning like dreidls in outfits that seemed impossibly cold and impossibly cute. My girlhood was constructed of Legos and padded with sports equipment. Hence I dismissed figure skating as quickly as I had ballet. No one ever mentioned that women had been skating on hockey teams for the past century. The first documented game of women's ice hockey dates back to February 11, 1891. The Ottawa Citizen in Ontario, Canada, reported the event without any mention of the score or either of the team's names. But, just as people were playing soccer long before it ever debuted officially in America, women's hockey was played long before obscure newspaper accounts acknowledged its existence. Thousands of women across the nation now participate in the sport —

Women's hockey makes inroads on the backroads

23,010 are registered with USA Hockey, the national governing body for the sport and the official representative to the United States Olympic Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation. The Women's World Championships were established in 1990. The NCAA has designated women's ice hockey as an "emerging" sport. If only I had known that girls were donning sticks, tucking their hair into helmets and going after the winning goal. And last week, of course, they went after the gold, and won it. In 1992 the International Olympic Committee voted to include women's hockey as a full-medal sport — beginning in 2002. Luckily for the U.S. women's team, Nagano, Japan, preempted the request by agreeing to host the sport's debut, which resulted in the 3-1 victory over Canada. Finally, women's hockey has arrived in the living rooms of America, even

while the sport has been played for decades on ponds, flooded lawns and ice rinks by girls and women of all ages — just ask Nancy Spears. A fiction writer and part-time employee in the career services department at Middlebury College, the 38year-old mother of two has a nocturnal pastime: She plays defense on a women's hockey league. In a town that boasts both high school and college varsity teams, older women have found th^ puck doesn't stop there. Her two children are asleep in their beds when Spears and other "hockey moms" take to the ice at 9 p.m. to practice for their league games. Some are veteran figure skaters, some actually played as children, and others are acquiring the skills of the sport while simultaneously learning how to skate. The Middlebury L'etoiles — The Stars — are a diverse team of women ranging from their mid-twenties to early fifties. They have 25 members for a game that only requires six players to be on the ice — the numbers are a testament to the popularity of the pastime as well as evidence of the open encouragement for women of all skills and backgrounds to join. It may not be the recipe for a winning season as of yet, but it seems to result in a satisfying one. Their love of the sport, desire for competition — and need for an excuse to get outside during the long winter Continued

Tuning in to indie rock three years ago when she joined WRUV, Collins pays close attention to the new arrivals, dipping into the student-run station's archives only to research past efforts of her favorite emerging bands. So listening to Brdgt's show is freshness guaranteed. No Joan Baez here, folks. In between sets Collins moves from the silly to the serious — for instance, she debated whether or not to play 7 Year Bitch's "Dead Men Don't Rape" when Craig

Music Director Alii Groman was pleasantly surprised to learn at a recent Gavin Music Conference in L.A. just how many college radio stations know and love Burlington's own tiny station — many with five times the wattage want to know how the students at WRUV do it.

Bridgef "Ripshfit" ~ Collins, as she is affectionately called by her fellow WRUV deejays, or just plain Brdgt, as she calls herself on air, can assure the worst femaphobe out there that there's nothing to be afraid of. She's been to the female planet and it's beautiful. Collins, a 21-year-old South Royalton native and history major at the University of Vermont, describes her radio show, which takes its title from a song by Sonic Youth, "Fear of a Female Planet" as "the best of women in the independent rock beez-nass." Her comment, "Angry music is good, but so is beautiful music," says a lot about Collins' style: half machinegun, half bubble-gum. She's got a big thing for Princess Leia, from Star Wars, and was recently in a whirl over her latest find—a Leia action figure clothed in Jabba the Hutt bondage wear. Collins promptly removed the leash from around Leia's neck and clamped it around Han Solo. Now, superstitiously, "Brdgt" brings both action figures, like a bingo addict's talismans, into the booth with her while she spins.

with a female lead singer. Speaking of commercial stations, there's an old Pulse banner in the WRUV lounge with "R.I.P." scrawled across it that now makes Collins laugh. She admits she was a little nervous when The Buzz and The Pulse hit the airwaves flying alternative flags (The Pulse gave it up and switched formats within the year). But, restricted by playlists that rate songs by rotation level, the variety in commercial radio pales next to that of WRUV. Collins considers herself spoiled because she gets to play anything she wants. She relates with horror the story of a college station in Atlanta, Georgia, that was shut down by the school for playing Pansy Division, a gay punk band. "This is a very liberal area," Collins says. You might say Collins was born into radio — famous deejays parents? No. But they were big fans of "WKRP in Cincinnati" a 1970s TV sitcom set in a radio station. It was young Bridget's job to record the show and type the videotape labels with date and episode. Her early introduction to radio — even fictional — has paid off. As chief operator of

Body image is particularly interesting in radio, where physical anonymity can be empowering to a gender that finds truth in the lyric, "Funny how your life depends upon your waistline" — by the Scottish band Bis, one of Collins' regulars. Brdgt does get noticed in public, however. Most recently, at a downtown club, her voice was recognized by a male fan. As is the case with most riot grrrl bands, Collins finds that the majority of people calling in requests to her show are men. She appreciates them — though she's happiest when women are listening. "This is not about man-hate," she insists. So tune in now, girls, because Burlington's about to lose its "Female Planet" deejay to graduate school. Along with their history departments, Collins is checking out prospective schools' radio stations.

whatsoever to the idea, she reports. Further, it turned out that the great-granddaughter of Ellen Hamilton, later Woodruff, lives in Williston and had produced a thesis based on correspondence between Hamilton and her friend Lida Mason Hodge after the women had graduated and married. Like her forebear, Mary Woodruff is a teacher at the Williston Central School. Her M.A. thesis, "In Search of Usefulness: The University of Vermont Admits Women," can be found in the UVM archives. Woodruff will speak at the portrait ceremony, along with Warhol and UVM President Judith Ramaley — herself a first woman in the role. Phi Beta Kappa itself, that is, UVM's Alpha Chapter, gets its due this month, too: A proclamation from Governor Howard Dean acknowledges the chapter's sesquicentennial anniversary and its bold induction of the first women and minorities in the country— UVM also inducted the first African-American male, George Washington Henderson, but that's another story. "The Commission is thinking the climate for women and people of color is not always great," says Warhol, who notes that a mid-'90s study indicated a white man was twice as likely to remain at the university on the tenure track as a woman or person of color over the 12year period leading up to the study. "I don't think that hanging pictures on the wall will change that," Warhol concedes, "but I think the fact that it's been done is a sign that the university is ready to pay attention."

An assemblage by Alexandra Bottinelli By

Marc

Awodey

ainting is an act that preserves moments in time; every gesture leaves evidence. Even A hT colors that have been fH l\ I wiped away or painted over remain as trace elements that contribute to the universe of a finished work. If these revisions are purposeful and decisive throughout the creation of a piece, they bring about the harmonies of color and texture that are unique to every eloquent artist. If not, the artist's uncertainty will evoke nothing but ambivalence in an audience. Alexandra Bottinelli and Matthew Kolodziej, the artists featured at Doll-Anstadt Gallery this month, focus on simple compositions, limited palettes and complex surfaces to convey their ideas. It's a risky way to paint: Simple compositions amplify the importance of surface, and a successful surface depends on what exists beneath it. But like any triumphant risk-takers, these artists have accomplished their goals by leaving very little to chance. Both have built their surfaces like a chess player's gambit — in carefully interconnected layers. Plainfield artist Alexandra bottinelli works with collage and assemblage to create pieces about "the visible and invisible worlds we share." The assemblage "Journey to Labrador" — a collection of jarred pebbles and other found objects !:rom a recent

"Soul of W i n t e r #5 (seeing)" buries and blends classical drawings and cut-up pieces of money in layers of black,

brown and green wax alternately hiding anc I disclosing her invisi ble and visible worlds in quilts of color and meaning Bottinelli's "Deck of Cards Triptych" comprises three panels that have totally obliterated the collage elements, except for faint ripples in the black, blue and red cooled and fixed surfaces. Matthew Kolodziej approaches the issue of layering from the opposite direction; like an archaeologist, the Providence, Rhode Island, artist removes layers and opens up spaces in his large- and medium-scale oil paintings. The works are based in nature, but Kolodziej is more of a vibrant action painter like de Kooning than a taciturn Impressionist like Monet. In "Victory Garden" and "Hong Kong Garden" Kolodziej has re-streched canvasses onto nearly square boards, then dabbed on, brushed and wiped away layers of glaze and raw paint. He keeps a narrow range of light values, and builds in areas for the eye to find respite from the complex visual textures that enliven these spirited pieces. "Bronte" is handled with much less delicacy, but equal singularity of purpose. The narrow, nine-foot vertical canvas contains subtle shifts in light and dark, built around transparent hues vacation — m a y dominated by "Ruins: History be a little too thalo green.

INNER MONGOLIA Normally you go to the bank to exchange — or extract — pieces of paper with monetary value. But this month the Chittenden Bank in Middlebury o f f e r s a cultural exchange of sorts: a color photographic exhibit from Mongolia. And extract what you will from the brief tour. The photos, taken by resident Sas Carey on a recent trip to the Central Asian republic with her Mongolian husband, A. Enhtur, convey the still largely nomadic lifestyle on the steppes, as well as the encroachment of Western ways. Carey, a nurse, and Enhtur have established the MongolianAmerican Friendship Project to honor the ancient culture's traditions and medicine, and will sponsor a health-care tour this July. Right, an old woman sits inside her ger, or yurt.

: mythological considerable .antiqui^Sy. True tothe myth, ID4 begins by articulating a sense of waywardness and transgression in the state of human affairs, the preconditions for the heavenly intervention symbolized in the appropriately secular imagery of flying saucers. In the coded language of the film, the source of disorder is identified with the male's loss of dominance and the female's ascendancy. In ID4, women are identified as either too sexually unrestrained (Jasmine) or too

n the short history of the movies, no critical approach has done more to expand our understanding of movies as a system of cultural signification than that of the feminists. Taking as its starting point the idea of women's ambivalent status as both subject and object in a patriarchal society, feminist criticism has offered enormous insights not only into the processes by which ideologies are encoded in media images, but what those images, "reread" from a feminist perspective, reveal about cultural attitudes toward women. Since the dominant ideology reveals itself not through statements of opposition but disguised as something else — for example, entertainment — often the most innocuous films are the most revealing. Indeed, the power of the ideological statements a movie invariably contains is inversely proportional to its seeming insignifi-

cance and easy digestibility. Take, as an example of these propositions, the 1996 summer sci-fi blockbuster, Independence Day. From most people's point of view, ID4, as it was curiously anointed in studio press releases of the time, is a harmless piece of Hollywood commercial art, and one completely innocent of ideological intent. But looked at from another angle — the outsider's perspective of the feminist — it can be seen as one of the most virulent statements of male paranoia regarding the changing status and fearsome powers of women the movies have yet given us. The notion of some catastrophe visited upon human kind from out of the skies is a

The general sense that the center is no longer holding is symbolized by the status of the President (the cultural father), an ex-fighter pilot in whom the public has completely lost confidence. From the start, the President's increasing impotence as a leader is linked to his pandering attitude towards his wife, who saddles him with the role of caretaker as she pursues her own career far afield of the duties of motherhood. Underlining the danger to the "natural order" represented by the actions of these women is the presence of two seemingly gay characters: Marty (Harvey

with the President's protectors puiftping bullet after bullet into the align, which jjas telepathic cally entranced ^nd subj ugated the "first man." The suggestion, horrifying in its implications, is that the only way to stop the female/alien is through violence. Linking the two ideas together — the alien as female and the female as destroyer of the male — is the character of Russell Case (Randy Quaid). Case is another ex-warrior whose drastically reduced condition — he's a drunk and a buffoon — is directly attributed to his earlier abduction and sexual molestation by aliens. Isolated and companionless, incapable of standing up to other males, and an embarrassment to his son, Case is a perfect image of the emasculated male. It is meaningful to the film's construction as a male fantasy that he should be the one to deliver the fatal missile on the day "man fights back," destroying the saucer and restoring men to their erstwhile position of universal domi nancy. Meaningful, too, in the coded sexual symbolism of the film, is Case's point of attack: the death-ray mechanism, imaged as both the source of the saucer's destructive powers and the single point at which it is vulnerable to attack. The mechanism, which reveals itself when the soft underbelly of the saucer opens, strongly suggests a hidden phallus, an idea that corresponds to a certain contradiction in the conception of the female as aggressor. Because the male's idealized image of the female does not allow for the more aggressive and independent qualities displayed by females, and because men cannot conceive that a female who is really a female could ever pose a threat, a fantasy is engendered that perhaps what he's dealing with is not a female at all, but a disguised male. The alien's defeat, in any case, signals the restoration of the patriarchy, which is to say, the restoration of universal order. As the picture closes, all opposites have been conjoined, all tensions harmonized as part and parcel of the newly reconstituted American family. It's a remarkable image of the male's sense of his own self-importance, as only the movies are capable of delivering. (7)

Day can be seen as one of the most

virulent statements of male paranoia regarding the changing status and fearsome powers of women. ambitious and overreaching (Constance and Marilyn), with drastic consequences for their consorts. Stephen (Will Smith) is worried about how marrying a stripper will affect his chances of becoming an astronaut, and he's clearly troubled by the fact that Jasmine has a son from a previous relationship. Meanwhile, David (Jeff Goldblum) is so devastated by his wife Constance's desertion that he has completely lost his

Fienstein) and Jimmie (Harry Connick, Jr.). Marty is the image of the absurd sissy his boss David is at risk of becoming, while Stephen's fawning partner Jimmie is clearly seen as Jasmine's main competitor. By way of the psychological mechanism Jung helped explain, the suspicion and fear that men have of women is projected outward in ID4, given tangibility in the form of saucers and aliens. The female's awesome powers of procreation are clearly suggested by the ability of the appropriately named "mother ship" to give birth to 15 offspring, each of which in turn can spawn hundreds of smaller saucers, which overwhelm their male attackers by sheer numbers. In similar fashion, the imagery surrounding^fhe repulsion of the fighter pilot's initial attacks upon the saucer is provocatively — and comically — sexual in connotation. The pilots fire sperm-like missiles at the ovum-shaped saucer. When they fail to penetrate its protective "shield," their consternation is overwhelming. The linkage of aliens and females is confirmed in the sequence of the alien autopsy. The alien, exposed, not only suggests a female in Took and smell, but corresponds to a number of male stereotypes regarding the aggressive female. It is subtle in its whims, deceptive in its intentions, and utterly ruthless and predatory. It gets into the mind and controls the thoughts of the male investigators, and it pronounces the death of mankind as its one and only desire. The scene ends

;; ' There is good news and bad news on the A I D . The good news is that in the past couple of years a com bination of drugs called protease inhibitors have gone a long way toward managing the disease, so that even some people with full-blown AIDS have been able to return to their lives before HIV. With men, incidence of new infections has leveled off", and even dropped in 1996. This is most likely due to the strenuous efforts at educating one of the hardest-hit populations: gay men. ~; ' T h e bad news is, in the same year the infection rate among women in the U.S. increased by 3 percent; AIDS is now the third leading cause of death for American women ages 25-44, according to the education and advocacy group Vermont CARES. In response to the feet that many women are now known to fee at high risk, Vermont CARES recently 4 established the Comprehensive Women's Program; aimed at helping females w h o test positive for HIV, and at preventing new infections from occurring. .M "Women who a^HOTV-positive have a need for services specifically for t h e m / says A m y Livingston, director of the program. Like many of its kind, the women's program focuses on risky behaviors rather than on groups at high risk: "It's riot who you are, it's what you daf Livingston explains. . Those behaviors include sharing needles for injection drugs a n d having unprotected sex. She srresses that H l V f is found in just four body fluids: blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. If you don't share those fluids with anyone, you're pretty much protected. However, steering clear of the causes of HIV is not always as easy as it may seem, especially for women. As to the causes of HIV infection, one has to look at the bigger picture, not just how the disease is transmitted. For women, feelings of worthlessness and powerlessness in their relationship^ often play a part: A woman in an abusive relationship is particularly at high risk, because she often has little or no decision-making power, and cannot tell her partner that he must wear a condom. M a n y women would not term their relationships "abusive," yet find themselves giving in to their partners insistence on not wearing a condom. The new.program at CARES includes a Peer Educator Program, in which HIV-positive women and women at risk participate in 10 hours of training — in communication and negotiation skills, self-esteem bolstering and the like — then take what they've learned back into their community. re re reaching the women at risk where they're at. t's often easier to hear any information from a The new program also provides a sexuality group for women, regardless of their HIV status, and individual 'v, ; ' • • :V; counseling for women at risk for HIV.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Alice faced a weird predicament after she went through the looking glass and met the Red Queen. There she was, jogging as hard as she could but getting absolutely nowhere. "Here, you see," the Queen informed her visitor, "it takes all the running you can do just to keep in the same place." I'm afraid, Aries, that you may soon be stuck in a comparable pickle. I'm also afraid that when you realize your predicament, you'll try running even faster — which will be quite impossible. My advice to you: Don't even start running. In fact, relax, lie down on the job, and let the world zip past you. Sure, you might fall behind. But you know what? With aH the energy you're going to save, I bet you'll be able to easily make up the 4QS!; ^ and more — starting about three wedcs from now.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May-20): Tom Garrows, a Taurus from L.A, "e-mailed me a warning. "Stop suggesting that God resembles a big black lesbian single mother!" he demanded. "I, in fact, am the only true God, and I am a white heterosexual male with a goatee and excellent posture and no screaming brats to distract me from the business of running the world!" I'm guessing that old Tom is suffering from the same inflation that many of you Taureans are feeling right now. It's perfectly understandable. Your tribe does currently possess an inventiveness akin to the creative skills of the Supreme Being. Rather than waste energy on fantasies of omnipotence, though, I'd recommend that you use this temporary blessing to conjure up great masterpieces of art or love OF business., < - - „

for it, now's the time to try. And if you've been waiting for the prime astrological moment to fight not quite to the death for wild justice, this is it. For best results, mix a little bad-ass attitude in with your righteous integrity.

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): I propose a new beast to represent us Cancerians. The crab's an adequate totem, but is too timid and shy to inspire us during the pioneering adventures we'll be challenged with in 1998. In place of the reclusive crustacean, I offer the surprisingly complex rhinocerous. Though it's a fierce, hard-charging dynamo, it's also a vegetarian and avoids violence if at all possible. The rhino's scales are so tough they're sword-proof, but they .don't hinder its movement. Its main weapon, the horn, is renowned as an aphrodisiac, and its lips, for God's sake, are prehensile: a perfect symbol for the skill we Cancerians have in the oral arts. Finally, the rhino roams through a wide range of habitats, from savannas to sparse thorn scrub: just as I hope all of us will do in the coming months.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It will by no means be a good week to wash all the curtains in the house, or to spend hours rearranging items in the kitchen cupboard, or to fill your journal with detailed ideas for improving the behavior of everyone you know. On the other hand, it would be a fabulous week to launch a ballsy search for a new muse or two, and to dream of being able to breathe underwater, and to be on high alert for omens pointing the way towards love and delight.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 22): In his day, Libran Johnny Appleseed was a virtual saint. Wearing simple clothes and carrying few belongings, he wandered abroad on a good-will mission, planting not only apple orchards but healing herbs like catnip, horehound and pennyroyal. Unfortunately, he also sowed in abundance a foul-smelling weed called dog fennel. He believed it had medicinal properties, though no one thinks that these days. In fact, it's an all-too-prolific pest throughout the Midwest. Just goes to show you that even the good guys can produce unintentionally messy side-effects. From my reading of the astrological aspects, Libra, your own personal version of Johnny Appleseed's dog
