I would love to believe it, but I don’t. Reading the strategies for maintaining a marriage [“Good Spousekeeping,” Feb. 5] is like reading from a child’s wish list to Santa Claus, and about as likely to materialize as a winning lot tery ticket or world peace. Obscure strategies that are nearly impossible to obtain, like “marry the right mate” and “cultural compatibility” only serve to undermine and deny human nature. Humans, after all, are individual and highly complex. Throughout life our personal needs and desires are forever changing. Traditional marriage suggests adaptation to the constandy changing needs and desires of our spouse, and despite the changes, the spouse should still remain the “perfect mate.” It is unrealistic to say that one person can be everything another person requires for an entire lifetime; it is simply too much % to ask of a mere human. Given the complexity o f humans, I don’t believe marriage for a lifetime is realistic or necessary. I believe that marriage should equate to two individ uals enjoying each other’s company, whether it’s for a lifetime or a single moment, mutually meeting the current needs and desires o f each other. Be happy in the moment no matter if the moment lasts a lifetime or a day. As a society, we should stop elicit ing all the guilt associated with mar riages that don’t last a lifetime. We should accept the fact that one person cannot always fulfill or adapt to all the constantly changing demands of another person. Not many aspects in nature last forever, and likely fewer
share a lifelong relationship. Con sidering the complexity of human nature, why should we expect two individuals to pull off something that even nature can’t obtain?

matic growth” occurred 30 years ago for just this reason — so their children and now grandchildren could have a place in the farm it they so chose. Mr. Colby also neglects to mention a unique benefit of size in this case. Foster Bros, built and still operates a methane-producing facility, converting biomass into “green” electricity to power the farm and households nearby. The manure is then composted into
porting soils and garden additives. Each step in this process is labor-inten sive, and each component represents a huge capital investment. A smaller operation could never support the work force and amount o f debt neces sary in executing this indisputably environmentally beneficial process. “Infamous” indeed.

INSIDIOUS LEGISLATION I applaud that you are bringing to your readers’ attention the impact of [antiterroristj legislation on their privacy [“Mixed Media,” Feb. 12]. It would be even better to get more out there on its impact on civil rights.. But as you cover it, please make sure that in print it is reflected as an acronym, in caps; the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act. The title it is reflecting needs to be understood by
the public. It is for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.” The expressed purpose as written right into this document is to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigative tools, and for other purposes. The alarm bells start ringing for any con cerned reader of the Act at the phrase “and for other purposes” and get loud er with each provision of the act. The press would be doing a public service to focus more attention on this act and on its potential successor, The Domes tic Security Enhancement Act o f 2003, which has been leaked to PBS and was the subject of Bill Moyer’s show, NOW, and can be accessed through their Web site.

WAR GAMES It’s a shame Peter Freyne, Vermont’s premiere investigative reporter, isn’t given the opportunity o f exercising the talent. “Inside Track” is too focused on the obvious aspects o f war with Iraq. War protest, an automatic piety, is meat for the novice journalist. History is made from the quieter deliberations and tangential issues. From a pundit we expect the apopular view. Peter, oddly, keeps failing to step back to give us a larger view. In the larger view, it seems to me significant that, despite our unprece dented power, some of Europe is

standing up to us. T hat Russia is ally ing itself with European sentiment and drawing itself into a Greater Europe. That the Vatican and China are join ing in, while China at the same time is taking diplomatic initiative to moder ate N orth Korea for us. .. .Surely something is in the air when we’re opposed by friends and allies and supported by former antago nists. It looks to me like the stirring of true world community, something like democracy arising from hegemony. I frankly think we could knock Saddam out easily, not just because a lot o f Iraqis want him out, but because fate holds the biggest whammy in reserve: the long, messy business of keeping Iraq together afterwards, which would show our real ineptitude. Will we actually go to war, though? Barring accident and miscalculation, how much better and cheaper to just threaten! To prepare war, expecting (hoping!) that everyone else will stir themselves to make it unnecessary. Aside from the serious aspects, this is a grand show. Peter knows it and ought to be telling us about it.

But with just three days before his assured re-election, somebody’s deter mined to rain on Clavelle’s political parade. Guess what? It’s none other than Mayor Moonie’s longtime Republican nemesis, State Rep.

Deputy Kelly Caiicoat of Eddy County; New Mexico, was dispatched to help two .women and five children whose van ramout of gas. When he found they had already been given gas, he decided to follow them to make sure it was enough to get them to town. On the way, the driver of the van exceeded the speed limit, so Caiicoat stopped it. He became suspicious and contacted the drug task force, whose agents discovered why the van had run out of gas. The gas tank contained 72 pounds of marijuana. The two women, Leticia Guadian, 24, and Vanessa Chavez, 22, were arrested.*•
Food Fright The manufacturer of some 8700 frying pans sold through television’s Home Shopping Network said they were being recalled because they can explode while in use.

Seventy-two days after leaving Peru try ing to row solo across the Pacific Ocean, Halsey was still 8000 miles from his des tination — no closer than on the day he embarked. Blaming contrary winds and currents for his lack of progress, Halsey told the BBC by satellite phone that not advancing was hard work. “You are row ing every day,” he said. “It’s not like you’re just sitting there.” This is Halseys second attempt to row across the Pacific.

NEWS FROM THE CULTURE FRONT
Reel E state Deal ovie theaters in America have been consoli dated in the same fast-food fashion as banks, retail outlets and quick-stops. But in northwestern Vermont, the mom-and-pop movie mogul is making a comeback. Merrill Jarvis, who once controlled virtu ally all the screens in the Burlington area, is slowly reclaiming real estate from the Boston-based theater chain that has domi nated the local market for nearly a decade. Sunday night, on the eve of school vaca tion, Hoyts Nickelodeon ran its final cred its. “Our lease is up and were leaving,” is how one employee phrased it over the phone on Monday morning. His amended greeting — “Hoy, uh, Nickelodeon” — said it all. Or did it? The employee refused to give his name. Hoyts didn’t return phone calls. The company’s long-time manager at the Nickelodeon, Steve Parmer, was conve niently “on vacation.” Jarvis was silent on the subject of whether he’ll be calling the shots at the downtown theater, which is currently owned by Pizzagalli Properties. Even in his projecting prime, he never controlled the Nick. “Right now I have no comment,” his son Billy offered from Ethan Allen Cine mas, a.k.a. the cheap seats. “By early next week, we’ll have some news for you.” Is this what U.N. ChiefWeapons Inspector Hans Blix goes through on a daily basis? Veteran cinephile and Burlington College film prof Barry Snyder says the change had been in the works for about a year. “Merrill Jarvis is back in the picture big-time,” he says. “He’s out at Ethan Allen Cinemas. He’s got the new Taft Corners. And, of course, he’s reviving Merrill’s on Williston Road. He couldn’t stay away.” Is a local movie chain preferable to a national one? “I think it’s really good if it’s locally owned,” says Snyder. Hoyts had a “corporate mindset,” he says, that made the company unresponsive to local initiatives such as the Vermont International Film Festival. Snyder directs that annual event. “The local manager had virtually no power to make decisions. The company prescribed from afar what films would be showing.” Jarvis will be ruled by many of the same market forces, but Snyder holds out hope that he — or whoever ends up running the Nick — maintains it as the “art house” of the chain. But with a monopoly, Jarvis will be no more obligated to mix up the movie menu with local, offbeat or indie features than were his predecessors. “It depends entirely on how enlightened, or how committed to diversity, the person operating all the screens wants to be,” says Rick Winston of the Savoy in Montpelier. Either way, the movie that best captures this most-likelyMerrill moment is a mainstream one: The Empire Strikes Back. QHLCe n o t e s Despite all the recent press about protesting poets, Vermonters are buy ing more duct tape than volumes of verse. Local bookstores report no significant increase in poetry sales — “certainly not Walt Whitman,” a clerk at Borders in* Burlington exclaimed. Grace Paley stands
a better chance of spiking sales slightly. The diminutive Bronx-born poet/activist, who could barely see over the podium at a recent reading in Manchester, was the only bard who inspired a standing ovation. In a public ceremony next Wednesday in Montpelier, she’ll be appointed “state poet,” following in the footsteps of Robert Frost, Galway Kinnell, Louise Gluck and Ellen Bryant Voigt. Better known for her fiction, Paley writes mostly poetry now. “You can get it down faster,” she notes, “but that doesn’t mean you get it right. I have one five-line poem. Every time I look at it, I want to change it again.” . . . Writer’s block is the subject of a new musical work by Allen Shawn. And no wonder — the Bennington composer is married to writer Jamaica Kincaid. His father, William Shawn, was the long-time editor of The Netu Yorker. The Monterey Symphony Orchestra com missioned “And in the air these sounds...” to honor the centenary of John Steinbeck, and premiered it last year under the baton of Kate Tamarkin. The former music director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra is giving a repeat performance of the vocal work at the Flynn in March. She notes, “I’m incredibly excited about the opportunity to perform with the VSO again and to share Allen Shawn’s work with my friends in Vermont.” . . . Carla Occaso has to go all the way to Texas for a “hearing” of her lyrics. The Montpelier native, who

KATE TAMARKIN writes a political column for the Caledonia Record, spent 10 years working on the libretto for a three-act chamber opera about the life and death of the only female pharaoh in Egypt. Hatshepsut was a king, not a queen, Occaso points out, but other wise there are many conflicting stories about her reign. The Vermonter fictional ized the story so that a midget nephew overthrows her. It ain’t Aida. The music — which Occaso says sounds “kind of moody,” like Philip Glass — was written by her brother-in-law George Chave. “It started out as a joke,” she admits. Her sister thought composing an opera would help her husband get tenure in the music depart ment at the University of Texas at Arlington. (He did before the piece was done.) “I said, ‘OK,’” Occaso recalls. Beats building pyramids. ® Email Paula at paula@ sevendaysvt.com

the dearth of private land available along the waterfront, I doubt we’ll ever see another development of this type. Cool people have been drawn to live down here and Wendy is one of them. I swung through the parking lot, pulling as close to the entrance as possible. Above the front door is a sign that reads Arahmi. I had heard various translations. One resident told me it meant “communi ty.” Another defined it as “friends.” By chance one day I drove the visionary developer of the property, who told me Arahmi was an Abenaki word meaning “a place that I want to be.” Wendy paid the fare and opened the car door. The rush of air was bracing. “Whoa!” she exclaimed. “You got that right,” I replied. “How can I possibly leave all this?” Wendy asked with a wry smile. I grinned and said, “That reminds me of something this old guy once told me: 'We’ll fight ’til hell freezes over, and then we’ll fight on the ice.’ I can’t recall what it was in reference to, but it sounds good, doesn’t it?” “Inspirational, Jernigan.

BY CECIL ADAMS ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Initial repons filtering out of Siberia suggested that a mete orite was responsible. But details were so fragmentary, the site so distant and conditions in Russia so unsettled that the event wasn’t investigated until 1927, when Soviet scientist Leonid Kulik led an expedition to the blast zone, a vast region of scorched and flattened trees with their trunks all pointing . toward ground zero. Kulik was sure he would find a large meteoric body buried there but never did, despite repeated drilling. Fie never found an impact crater, either. In fact, aside from some dust-size bits of mineral called “spherules,” who$e presence may or may not be connected to the blast, no one has ever found a piece of the mass that exploded. In attempting to account for these anomalies, scientists have proposed a number of theories: • The blast occurred when the nuclear engine of a mart ian spaceship blew up.

This is true for Hannafords, Shaws, and was true for Grand Union w hen th ey w ere still in existence This means that one would find conventional cereals in one place in the store and natural cereals in the ‘special1natural section som ewhere else in the store. We, however, chose to keep like categories together. That m eans all cereals in one place.

um, built by the homophobic civil-unions backlash, has clearly evaporated. Judicial Writer's Block? —
Former UVM hockey star Graham Mink of Stowe contin
ues to light the lamp for the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. Graham has scored 20 goals so far this season. An NHL call-up can’t be too far away. The bruising center plays John LeClair-style, planting himself right in front of the net and picking up the rebounds. This is Mink’s second season in Portland. And so far his bril liant career has not been inter rupted by the fact that he’s facing a felony charge for aggravated assault down at Vermont District Court in Burlington. But what’s really amazing is that there’s no sign Mink will face trial on the old October 2001 charge anytime soon. Mink has pleaded not guilty. The case stems from a late-night altercation on Buell Street in which Mink allegedly kicked an unconscious fellow reveler in the head. He turned down the state’s offer of a plea deal that would have reduced the charge and put
Judicial Relief! — Also at
District Court this week you’ll find a few judges who are still recovering from Gov. Jim Douglas’ surprising announce ment last week that the Agency of Human Services will seek bids for an 80-bed in-state drug treat ment facility. The announcement came like a bolt of lighting. Totally unexpected. For years we’ve watched the Black Robes at the courthouse practically pull out their hair in despair as wave after wave of young heroin addicts has passed through their courtrooms. They known damn well locking up junkies is a complete waste of time and taxpayer dollars. Unless the addiction is treated, the defendant will be back in court again and again and again. But with no local facility to provide treatment, our judges’ hands have been tied. Last week, Vermont’s new Republican governor surprised everyone by taking a rational approach to the illegal drug prob lem. Secretary of Human Services Charlie Smith even acknowl edged a major policy shift, recog nizing drug addiction as a health problem rather than a police
//
It is a long way from knowing who the Democrats' nominee will be. But if I were one of those othercandidates, I'd start keep ing an eye on Howard Dean."
- BOB SCHIEFFER, CBS the puckster in the St. Johnsbury work camp for five months. It’s funny, but when the Mink case first hit the courthouse, sev eral judges made it clear that the Stowe kid’s hockey career was not going to delay the wheels of Vermont justice. Now it looks like Graham will complete two pro seasons before the system ever brings him to justice. The latest delay comes cour tesy of Judge James Crucitti. On December 12, Crucitti heard arguments on Mink’s motion for change of venue because of exces sive media exposure. Lawyer R. Jeffrey Behm argued the pub licity of UVM’s hockey hazing scandal a few years ago would prejudice potential jurors. Yeah, right. At the hearing, Judge Crucitti expressed his doubts that such a move was warranted. Unfor tunately, it’s now almost March and the distinguished jurist has •apparently been so busy he’s been unable to issue a written ruling on the motion. That leaves the Mink case in limbo. And it leaves the defen dant free on $25,000 bail to play pro hockey without a worry in the world. Judge Crucitti was on vacation this week and could not be reach ed for comment. Sometimes rest helps with writer’s blo^ft. vV

problem. Far out! Judge Brian Burgess told Seven Days that addicts need “more than 28 days of intensive treatment.” And when they’re released, said Burgess, they need follow-up treatment at the local level. Unless they can get out of their “former milieu,” said Burgess, they’ll revert to their for mer bad habits. The new governor’s announce ment, said Burgess, “is good news.” Colodny Correction? —
Fletcher Allen Health Care interim-CEO Ed Colodny telephoned yours truly last week. Mr. Ed said that it was inaccurate for us to suggest he had been behind Gov. Douglas’ call for the FAHC trustees to step down. Actually, we did not report that Ed was behind it. In fact, we said the governor’s sudden change of course was attributable to Congressman Bernie Sanders’ keen interest in the issue and what that might m^ui for the 2004 governor’s race. Mr. Colodny, however, did not question the accuracy of our report, based on administration sources, that he had not raised even one note of objection to the governor’s bold move. Interesting.

MAXIMUM CRUISE ^SAVINGS
Deanwatch 2004 — Our favorite presidential hopeful was not a guest on the Sunday morn ing talking-head shows, but he was there in spirit. A lot of the talking heads, you see, were talk ing about Howard Dean. On “Face the Nation,” CBS’ chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer and Time maga zine columnist Joe Klein were mesmerized by Deans rip-roaring speech last Friday to the Demo cratic National Committee. What got their attention was the way Ho-Ho had stepped before the party faithful, accused party leaders of copying the Bush Republicans and declared, “I’m Howard Dean and I want to rep resent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.” The audience went bananas! In fact, Dean got more standing ovations than all the other candi dates combined. Said Klein: “Howard Dean came in and he just blew those people away. It was one of the most effective speeches I’ve ever seen a candidate give.” Said Schieffer: “It is a long way from knowing who the Democrats’ nominee will be. But if I were one of those other can didates, I’d start keeping an eye on Howard Dean.” President Howard Dean. Has a nice ring to it, eh? Saturday Spectacular! — Big doings Saturday in Montpeculiar, where Bernie Sanders and Arianna Huffington will headline ah all-day “People’s Roundtable on the Vermont Economy.” The Vermont State Employees Association is the lead sponsor. Huffington’s new book — Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption are Undermining America — docu ments how a select few are run ning the government, and the economy, into the ground for the rest of us while reaping profits for themselves. The 52-year-old millionaire and former Republican is also a syndicated columnist. Recently she mounted an all-out attack on SUVs, the gas-guzzlers that made Arab oil sheiks blush with pride. Voted the “Funniest Celebrity in Washington,” Huffington once slipped into her nightie to appear between the sheets with Al Franken for the “Strange Bed fellows” segment on “Politically Incorrect.” If you hit the Statehouse around 10 a.m. Saturday, you’ll be able to catch the Bernie and Arianna Show. Neither is expect ed to appear in a nightie. Bummer. P.S. The People’s Roundtable is being organized by Ethan Ready, oldest son of State Auditor Elizabeth Ready. And tt looks like Chainsaw Liz is about to have her first daughterin-law. Ethan recently became engaged to Burlington attorney

Sex and [Violence hen Americans were fighting in Vietnam, protestors of the 1960s came up with a slogan that encouraged young men to resist the draft: “Girls say yes to boys who say no.” But the idea behind the clever catchphrase wasn’t exactly new. Almost 2400 years earlier Aristophanes wrote a play about girls saying no to boys who say yes. The Greek scribes comedy, Lysistrata, centers on wives who withhold sex from their soldier husbands to stop an armed conflict between Athens and Sparta. Thanks to the efforts of one Vermont actress, the anti-war classic that premiered in 411 B.C. is suddenly au courant as a creative way to address the Persian Gulf crisis. O n March 3, activists and artists in 43 countries will offer 756 — and counting — staged readings of the Aristophanes piece about gender-driven domestic dis obedience. Productions are scheduled for all 50 states, with eight on tap at various Vermont locations, including the Flynn Center in Burlington. This global proliferation of Lysistrata began in early January. Vermont Stage Company co-founder Kathryn Blume decided to promote some timely peacemongering to keep the Bush administra tion’s so-called “coalition of the willing” from becoming a coalition of killing in Iraq. “I’d already been working on a s c re e n p ja y that would be a modern
adaptation of Lysistrata," explains the 35-year-old Charlotte resident in a telephone interview from her second home Montpelier. in Brooklyn. “I heard that THAW, p.m., 'pjieater Artists Against the War, was Wright Memorial planning a day o f action in March.

She recruited friend Sharron Bower, a resident of New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood, and on January 4 they startecJ to brainstorm what would
soon be called 1 he Lysistrata Project. We began dreaming really big,” Blume remembers. “By January 5, we’d found people who wanted to hold readings in . Seattle and Austin. We spent the entire next week putting up a Web site and con tacting everyone we know. Even my old theater teacher in Switzerland said he’d do it. Very quickly, this little thing became international.” Blume emailed Susan Stamberg, a National Public Radio reporter she says has “a soft spot for theater. On January 16, All Things Considered’ did a story about the project.” W ithin a week, the Web site had reached “critical mass” at about 1000 hits a day. A short article appeared in the February 6 New York Times. The idea seems to be spreading rapidly. Lysistrata-mania has inspired culturally savvy dissenters from Beirut to
Montenegro, Turkey to Trinidad, Cvr-D r. Argentina to India, Cambodia to Jerusalem. In Syria, part-time Vermonter Deborah Felmeth has launched a Damascus production. No Russian theatri cals have emerged as yet, although Blume did receive an email from the CNN bureau chief in Moscow asking if she knew of any readings he could cover there. On the West Coast, stage and screen talents Julie Christie, Alfre Woodard, Eric Stoltz and Christine Lahti are involved in one of several readings. Blume, mean while, began producing what she envi sioned as an equally star-studded New York City show. Six degrees of separation later, the cast includes Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick, as well as F. Murray Abraham, Peter Boyle, Kathleen Shalfont, David Strathairn and Mercedes Ruehl in the title role. A suitable site was much harder to find. , Blume hoped for a donated Manhattan venue that could accommodate up to 2000. By late last week, she was glad to have secured an 830-seat space at the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music. But, most likely, no Lysistrata fan shall go unserved. At least a dozen smaller readings are planned throughout the metropolis on subway plat forms, on the steps of City Hall, at church es, in nightclubs, parks and even Grand Central Station during rush hour.
Back in the Green Mountain State,
Flynn education administrator Kelly Thomas volunteered to produce a Queen City reading o f Lysistrata. It will feature local thespians such as Sue Ball, John Alexander, Tawnya Fogg, Steve O ’Dwyer and Kim Bent joining forces with writers Philip Baruth, Ron Powers, David Budbill and David Huddle. “We wanted people who have a con nection with literature and a good stage presence,” explains Thomas, who has teamed up with Ruth Wallman to carry

And no costumes, sets or props, just music stands for their scripts and micro phones.” Vermont Public Radio commentator Willem Lange is slated to be the emcee and Francois Clemmons of Middlebury College will sing operatic selections. Burlington author David Huddle agreed to add his voice to the Chorus of Old Men — what’s a Greek play without a Greek chorus? r-rr but he didn’t want to stand out in the crowd. “I feel this is a way to set forth my position regarding the national and international situation with out completely embarrassing myself,” the University of Vermont professor says. “It appears to be a modest public gesture.” Coincidentally, among a collection of vintage posters in Huddle’s computer is one depicting folksinger Joan Baez and her two sisters below the words: “Girls say yes to boys who say no.” Kathryn Blume’s husband and fellow Vermont Stage Company founder Mark Nash said yes to the notion of directing the Flynn event. “We’ll only have about six hours of rehearsal, so this is a no-frills show,” he acknowledges. “Because the ver sion of Lysistrata we’ve chosen is all rhymed, the actors will need to read their lines without beating us over the head with it.” Heads aren’t the only body parts to consider when mounting a play that Aristophanes penned with ribaldry in mind. “O ur translation and adaptatir n, by Drue Robinson Hagan, takes a lot of liberties with contemporary dialogue that’s amusing,” Nash says. “We did want a polemic. It’s really kind of bawdy.” Thomas, who’ll be among the Ch< us of Old Women, points out that in at ent Greece “they decorated the set with ti tnde phalluses. Aristophanes’ stage direc tions refer to ‘protuberances.’ We won’ go that far, but our Lysistrata has very ad"!t themes and language.” To put it mildly: “It won’t be easy tyin’ there when he’s all hot to trot!/But ii => means the war will end — I’ll swear -,o this boycott,” proclaims Lampito, one of the female characters trying to persuade the combatants on both sides o f the neverending Peloponnesian War to beat their, swords into plowshares. We’ll paint our lips a ruby red, an sprawl and crawl across the bed,” rec mends her pal Lysistrata, adding: “V
get our men so riled u p ...” Lampito: “...So horny they’ll be blind!” Lysistrata: “We’ll then refuse our loving cup, and have our treaty signed!” The message Lysistrata sends to military spouses is clear. Perhaps even Laura Bush and Mrs. Saddam Hussein will be listen ing on March 3. If sexual blackmail worked for the embattled Greek citystates, why not the District of Columbia and Baghdad? “I think anything is possible,” says Blume. The peacenik impresario is devoting all her time to the “zero-budget” operation. “We’re running on the financial fumes outof our own pockets,” she quips. “We’ve given ourselves completely over to this.” So much so that Blume — who per-

’m not the world’s most spontaneous per son. I don’t take kindly to last-minute changes in dinner plans or to people switching the screensaver on my comput er. And it’s not just the little things. I went directly from high school to the college of my choice, graduated on time and then got married before I got pregnant. When I did conceive my first child, the event was precisely scheduled for a summer delivery, ensuring that I’d be able to stay home for a couple months before going back to work as a school librarian. Living such an orderly, predictable life has been a comfort. Less defensible, though, is the way I used to wear it as a
badge of merit. People whose vitae didn’ follow the standard story line were, unlil me, either willfully contrary or woefully disorganized. O r so I used to think. Sixteen years ago, I found out what it feels like when plans go awry. We were 1 ing in Los Angeles, where my husband was attending graduate school. Our daughter Sophie was 18 months old and was in the first trimester of my second pregnancy — like the first, a conscien tiously conceived condition. It was Frid: the 13th. The following morning — Valentine’s Day — we were moving fron our one-bedroom apartment to a larger unit down the block. O ur phone had

already been disconnected and just about everything we owned was packed in boxes, ready to go. Just before bed, 1 went to the bathroom and noticed a little bleeding. “Remember with Sophie?” David soothed me, “It was just about three months and you had some spotting and Dr. Parker told you not to worry. For it to be a problem, there has to be a lot of blood.” Around midnight, there was: decisive clots dropping into the toilet like balls of red wax from a candle. Reluctant to give what was happening a name or disturb my sleeping family, I did my best to clean the blood smeared on my thighs, thick as

raspberry jam. With a wad of toilet paper stuffed between my legs, I found my way between the boxes to my unpacked purse and the Kotex napkin I kept there in case of emergency. Then I crawled back into bed and whispered my bad news to David. “I’m miscarrying.” Miscarriage is one of those words peo ple don’t like to say. Even before I under stood the facts of life, I associated the term with words like feces and incest — not suit ed for polite conversation. The sound made me think of a tragically mangled perambulator — its seat overturned, its wheels badly twisted. The image wasn’t so far off. Miscarriage suggests a failure to transport something to its intended desti nation. Biologically speaking, the develop ing baby is the cargo, the intended desti nation live birth, and the vehicle of trans port the mother. When a pregnancy fails — as about two in Five do — it’s usually because chro mosomes haven’t properly replicated, or the newly formed zygote hasn’t successful ly implanted in the lining of the uterus. Folklore notwithstanding, miscarriages aren’t brought on by irresponsible eating or drinking, overly enthusiastic sex, exces sive physical exertion or emotional stress. I understood all of this, lying there in the dark. But as waves of cramps gripped my hips like a wide, tight belt, I couldn’t help feeling the failure was entirely mine. I had loved so fiercely the physicality o f my first pregnancy: the glowing skin, the full breasts and the high, hard dome o f my belly. I had taken such pleasure in the flutfery internal stirrings, had basked in the nurses’ concerned questions and overtly enjoyed the attentions of my handsome v

obstetrician. In my impatience to regain the privileges of preg nancy, I had rushed into this one, then felt smug about my own fertility. In my hubris, I had unwittingly attracted the evil eye. '“ Back in the bathroom a few hours later, something solid slid into my hand. Red as raw liver and as large as my palm, it gave like a sponge when I gingerly poked it with my fin gernail. It had an unmistakable warmth and a real, if slight, weight. This is mine, I thought, staring. This came out o f me. I felt depleted. I have to save this thing, I thought, vaguely remembering something I’d heard somewhere. I have to pack it up and take it with us. I tried to think where I could keep it. In the refrigera tor, as if it were leftover lunch? It was 3 or 4 in the morning, all our plastic wrap and extra food containers were packed, and I was exhausted. And any way, what was ihe point? The new life I had imagined grow ing inside me was simply, irrev ocably, gone. I dropped the thing in the toilet and flushed. Saturday morning we drove to Santa Monica as planned. O ur friends Robin and Tony would be giving us breakfast and taking care of Sophie dur ing the move. I carried myself carefully, feeling fragile. Emotionally, I wasn’t sure how I felt. Mostly, I didn’t want to think about what had hap pened, much less discuss it. In the house where I grew up, we weren’t keen on confes sions. We didn’t run around telling each other “I love you” or sit up late at night sharing our innermost feelings. We were more reticent when it came to bad news, especially when it was medical, and all the more so if it involved reproduction. Add death to the mix and the topic took on a strict don’t-ask-don’t-tell taboo. We didn’t talk, for example, about my father’s older brother Ralph, who died of spinal meningitis when he was 9. To help my grandmother get over her grief, her doctor suggested she have another baby. The product of that prescription was my father. I only remember hearing this crucial bit of family histo ry mentioned once while I was growing up. My mother and I were folding laundry when she whispered the bare bones of the story. Assuming from her hushed tones that the tale was meant to be our secret, I didn’t dare ask any follow-up ques tions or wonder about the need to keep quiet. The story of Ralph was one of my earliest inklings that bad things didn’t just happen to strangers. It also impressed upon nid the troubling implication that nothing I took for granted — not even my own family — ' was inevitable. Had it not been for (he death of a child, we • rievfr would have existed. Even if I 'fead it wrong, my Hlotfrer’s

In my impatience to regain the privileges of pregnancy, I had rushed into this one, then felt smug about my own fertility. whisper reinforced what I already understood: The less said about things that disturbed you the bet ter. What you don’t name is less likely to hurt you.
That lesson was still with
me the morning after my mis carriage as I silently rode beside David, each block bringing me closer to the time when I would have to reveal to our friends what had happened, and then call my doctor. Actually talking about it would make my miscar riage official. It would turn my private upset into a public event. And it would force me to face the fact myself. But it was a battle I was bound to lose, and it was over before we even reached Robin and Tony’s. As we pulled up at a light, David handed me a pink Hallmark envelope. I had forgot ten all about Valentine’s Day. ' From Sophie,’’ he claimed. The card was classic — plastic over lay, soft-focus roses, red vel veteen. Any other year, such over-the-top kitsch would have simply delighted me. Today, when I read the maudlin message printed inside — It takes someone special to be a mother — I was surprised to find myself crying. When I delivered my news to Robin, the intensity of her tearyeyed embrace also caught me off guard. My own reaction felt closer to guilt than grief. Should I have been more worked up? Maybe, I irrationally conjec tured, I had lost the baby because I hadn’t been sufficiently attached to it emotionally. Maybe I’d been so enraptured with my own pregnant self that I’d failed to focus on the fetus. Suffused with self-doubt, I dialed my doctors office, only to discover that my regular OB — the handsome Dr. Parker, whose assured, patrician manner I’d counted on — was off duty. The intruding, on-call Dr. Rosenman asked questions that I heard as
accusations. Yes, there was cramp ing, I confessed. Yes, lots o f clots. Yes, tissue. No, I didn’t keep it. I flushed it down the toilet. “It was really gross,” I added, feeling defensive. “I see,” she said with sigh. An hour later, perched at the end of the examining table, I calmed myself by taking inven tory of my surroundings. Stirrups, sink, spotlight. Surgical gloves, lubricant gel, sponges, for ceps. There was something soothing about simply listing nouns. By the time the young technician came in with her tourniquet and vials, I was con siderably less freaked out. As she drew my blood, she asked how I was doing. “I had my first baby here,” I told her. “I didn’t think I’d be back so soon with this one.” “It happens more often than you’d think,” she replied. “After you’ve been hanging around in hospitals for a while, you start to get really impressed that so many babies come out just fine.” Dr. Rosenman was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, looking more like a college student than an actual M.D. She didn’t pick up her clipboard or check her watch, but rolled up the low stool, crossed an ankle over her knee, and invited me to tell my story. It may have been her relaxed, disarming demeanor, or the fact that I’d only just met her. O r maybe by now I was simply ready. Whatever the rea son, I told her everything — right down to the wadded toilet paper and the one emergency sanitary pad in my purse. When I was finally done, she whistled. “All this trouble while you’re supposed to be moving! What a pisser! Courtly Dr. Parker would never have said that. And when it came time for the physical exami nation, her touch was also noth ing like his. He handled me deli cately, as if my body were some thing exotic and rare. When I
was scrunched down on the table with my knees wide and Dr. Parker on the other side of the paper drape, I thought of him as some high priest of healing and the procedure as a sort of sacra ment. With Dr. Rosenman, the experience seemed much less mysterious and more down-toearth. Her hands moved with confidence and vigor, like one flesh-and-blood human being simply caring for another. “Could we have saved it if I’d been able to call you?” I asked afterwards. She shrugged. “I might have told you to come in. Then you could have done your bleeding here, instead of in your own bed. But basically, it would n’t have made a hell of a lot of difference.” “Was I really stupid not to save that piece of stuff?” I won dered. Examining the actual product of a miscarriage helps doctors figure out why it hap pened. But she batted away my question. “Plenty of women never get a hold of any tissue, and yet we somehow manage to bumble through with our work. I wouldn’t worry about it.” “On the phone, I thought you sounded disappointed,” I admitted. “Disappointed?” she shot back. “You try getting woken up first thing Saturday morning to the news that a patient has probably lost her baby and see if you don’t sound disappointed.”
All things considered, I got
off relatively easily. I had a kind and competent doctor and a health plan that paid for her services. I didn’t need a D& C — dilation and curettage — to clean out left-over remnants of the pregnancy. I didn’t have any problems with prolonged bleed ing or infection. It wasn’t long before I stopped feeling blue. Best of all, within a few months I got pregnant again, and deliv ered a healthy son — a child I can’t imagine living without. Like my father, Sam never would have been born if another child had survived. I hardly ever think about the fact that I once lost a baby. When I do, I don’t feel sad. Rather, it reminds me that these lives we tend to take as our due owe as much to lucky breaks as to our careful plans. Instead of scaring me, as it once did, this realization takes me back to that Valentine’s Day when I left Dr. Rosenman and Robin dropped me off at our new place. David and the movers were already carrying in our things. Downstairs, our neighbor was celebrating a birthday. Girls in frilly dresses were playing on the grass and a bouquet of translu cent and Mylar balloons bobbed by the door as if they were wel coming me home. Though J knew those balloons weren’t meant for me, the scene looked so pretty I started to cry again. For that brief moment, I felt very fortunate just to be alive, enjoying the play of the sun on the silver and pink. Q)

hemselves, who are asking for less painful childbirths. The availability — and frequency — of C-sections las also grown. Today, they’re performed in 12 of the states 14 hospitals. Although Vermont’s Caesarian rate s well below the national average, the procedure is far nore common today than it was 30 years ago. Needless to say, many of Vermont’s home-birth nidwives find such trends disturbing. They fear that vomen are surrendering more control over their own jodies than they might imagine. Barre midwife Judy „uce recalls an article she saw in Cosmopolitan a few ^ears ago that showed a photo of a woman’s naked jack and a hand holding a long needle to her spine. The title read, “The second most joyful part of child birth: getting your epidural.” “The article didn’t talk about the increased risk of C-sections as a result of epidurals, or the need for for:eps, or the inability of women to push their babies jut,” says Luce. “It’s all part of the marketing of fear. I :hink that kind of cultural environment restricts the :hoices women have.” Of course, home birth midwives have seen the impact they’ve had on the medical profession reflected in the philosophies hospitals have adopted toward childbirth. In fact, Deas credits many of those changes to one family doctor from central Vermont who wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo. “Women didn’t have many choices when I started in 1973,” recalls Dr. Thurmond Knight, who practiced Family medicine for many years at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph. “I was discouraged by the hospi tal practices that we were required to participate in.” Knight entered the profession at a time when pregnant women routinely had their bellies shaved and were given enemas and episiotomies prior to delivery. When women at Gifford were ready to give birth, they were moved from the comfortable bed of the labor room to the cold, impersonal environment of the delivery room — lying flat on their backs with their legs up in stirrups. After the babies were born, the mothers weren’t allowed to breastfeed or even keep them in their rooms at night. Instead, all new borns were bottle-fed through the night by nurses. One day, Knight and his wife were invited to attend a home birth, an experience unlike any he had witnessed in the sterile confines of a delivery room. Soon, Knight was making house calls with local midwives on complicated deliveries, a practice that raised eyebrows not only in his small town but among his colleagues. “One member of my medical board called me an embarrassment to our profes sion,” he recalls. Knight was strongly urged to cease the practice immediately before he “gave the profes sion a black eye.” Then in 1975, Knight read an article about a small rural hospital about 20 miles outside Atlanta that had found a unique solution to the large number of child birth complications they were experienciTfg. The hospi tal had set up a birthing room on its premises with a nurse-midwife on staff. For $100, expectant mothers mostly poor black women with little or no access to prenatal care — could come in with their family mem bers, give birth with the help of a midwife, and then go home the next day. Knight showed the article to the hospital pediatriCIan>Lou Dinicola, who liked the idea so much he convinced the hospital’s administrator to try it. Soon Gifford Medical Center had opened the first birthing foom in New England: a homey environment with a rocking chair and birthing stool, a comfortable labor tad. a private bathroom and a shower.
Shortly thereafter, Knight and Dinicola were invit ed to give presentations at the hospital in Burlington, then Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Within months both hospitals had opened their own birthing rooms. When Knight finally retired in April 1988, Gifford had five birthing rooms; the old delivery room hadn’t been used in years. Gifford’s new birthing unit is now nationally recognized for its unique approach to childbirth, boasting the state’s highest rate of breast feeding and the nation’s lowest rate of circumcision. At least 60 percent are delivered by midwives. Today, at least three other hospitals in Vermont have ongoing nurse-midwife programs. The oldest, at Fletcher Allen, handles about 15 percent of the hospi tal’s births. “We consider ourselves experts in the nor mal,” says Amy Levi Rousseau, a certified nurse-mid wife at Fletcher Allen. “It’s not pregnancy as an illness or pregnancy as a medical event. It’s pregnancy as a developmental occurrence in somebody’s life.”
Despite the incorporation of some midwifery
practices into the medical environment, midwives can still get the cold shoulder at hospitals. So do some parents-to-be when they tell a family physician or obste trician that they’re using a midwife. Shelley Gustafson and Bill Schoonover of New Haven, who expect their first child in a few weeks, explored several options before choosing Deas as their home birth midwife. Their decision was not well received by one doctor they saw. “Within the first five minutes she said, ‘Oh, you’re using a midwife? Then I won’t work with you,”’ Schoonover recalls. “We felt it limited our choices. We want the best of both worlds, feeling that everyone’s safe but also doing it the way we want to do it.” Gustafson and Schoonover’s insurance won’t pay for their midwife, even though a hospital birth costs on average several thousand dollars more than a home birth. But despite the out-of-pocket expense, both were impressed with the amount of time Deas was willing to spend with them during prenatal visits. One midwife who attended a recent national midwifery conference reported that nurse-midwives there were complaining insurance companies would only pay for a seven-minute prenatal exam. In contrast, Schoonover and Gustafson say they routinely spend at least an hour or two with Deas every week. One suggestion for improving Vermont’s birthing choices would be a freestanding birthing center. Often owned by midwives but also staffed with medical pro fessionals, birthing centers combine the comfort and family-centered approach of a home birth with the technological support of a hospital. Birthing centers are not illegal in Vermont, but overcoming the bureau cratic hurdle of getting a Certificate of Need could be a formidable challenge. Moreover, there’s a built-in economic disincentive, since many doctors who work with midwives have seen their malpractice premiums skyrocket or, in some cases, canceled altogether. And with fewer babies born every year in Vermont since 1989, the competition for deliveries has grown fiercer, especially at teaching hospitals, where medical students need the experience for their OB/GYN rotation. If there’s universal agreement among birthing pro fessionals, it’s that there’s no one right way to have a baby. When Heather Ragsdale is -asked if she’d go the home birth route again, she doesn’t hesitate. “It was the right choice for us. But I probably swayed my sis ter the other way,” she adds jokingly. “She’ll probably sign up at the door for an epidural and C-section.” ®

Double Take
False Prophets, Tramps and Thieves is available online at amazon.com or direct from the publishers at www.false prophetsbk.com.
s kids growing up in M ount Clemens, Michigan, identical twins Lynda and Laura Campbell rarely fought, but when they did, their father jokingly referred to them as Blanche and Baby Jane, a reference to the 1962 movie Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Joan Crawford and Bette Davis star sis two aging, cohabitating sisters caught in a co dependent vortex of psychological and physical cruelty. “Our father has a really bizarre sense of humor,” says Laura. “It was, like, life-scar ring,” adds Lynda. “We hated it.” There are some similarities between the 42-year-old twins and the fictional Hudson sisters, who played actresses in the movie. The Campbells share a home — a two-story, factory-built house they erected this summer in Lincoln — and they’re both in the entertainment business. Well, sort of. In 2000, they produced the short-lived “Evil Twin Comedy-Variety Show” on public-access television. Last summer, they self-published their novel, False Prophets, Tramps and Thieves, which they hope to someday make into a movie. Unlike the Hudsons, though, the Campbell twins get along famously. In their meticulously kept living room, a painting hangs above the fireplace. It shows the sisters as young girls, smiling, with arms around each other’s shoulders. “We’ve always had a common purpose,” Laura explains. They also seem to have the same taste in clothes. Though they tell me they don’t always dress alike, for this interview they’re wearing nearly identical outfits, down to the slippers they don at the door when they take off their matching boots. Thankfully, they’ve put on different sweaters so I can tell them apart. Like many partners who have been intimately connected for decades, the Campbell twins finish each other’s sen tences and refer to themselves as a single unit, speaking as “we” more often than “I.” This might seem creepy except for the fact that they talk openly about their unique relationship and even poke fun at it in their creative work. A recent press release for their book playfully proclaims, “Clones Reveal Secrets of False Prophets.” The book follows the journey of a recent college graduate who falls under the spell of a corrupt spiritual guide. The plot mir rors similar patterns in the twins’ own lives, but the novel’s goofy, slapstick tone proves that, as Lynda points out, “We don’t take ourselves too seriously.”
It's easy to like the Campbell twins. When I invite myself over for an inter view, Laura asks in advance if I like coffee or tea, and wants to know if I’m a vegetar ian so she’ll know what to feed me. When I arrive, the sisters offer me an assortment
of pastries and fuss over my beverage. We bond over our respective childhoods in sterile, strip-mailed suburban Detroit. But despite their hospitality and our geographic connection, a little nagging voice in my head is saying, “This is kind of weird, isn’t it?” Maybe it’s the matching outfits. Or the way they talk as if they’re the same person. People have long been fascinated by the anomaly of conjoined twins — what must it be like to be so thoroughly attached to another human being? The Campbells aren’t joined at the hip, but they might as well be. They’ve had the same interests all their lives. They’ve cohabitated, worked togeth er. They even attended the same college and shared the same major. Has anyone ever commented on their unwavering sorority? “Nobody cared that we were twins,” says Laura. “They probably thought, ‘Oh, cool, twins,’ but that’s something we never think about because . it’s just the way our lives have been.” After graduating from Western Michigan University with bachelor’s degrees in political science, the sisters moved to Washington, D.C. The man in charge of hiring for the Republican National Committee phone bank was from Michigan. Excited to have more Michiganders on board, he gave both of them jobs making calls on behalf of Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign. After the election, the duo moved on to the Commerce Department — Lynda became a political appointee. But not for long. “We got disillusioned there real fast, because everyone’s playing the game,” Laura says. “People tend to work for a party or cause because they believe in something,” explains Lynda. “As you move up the line... it’s about power, money, influence. It’s really cutthroat.” While in Washington, the sisters devel oped a TV-movie parody of life on Capitol Hill called “Hill House,” but never got around to making it. After three years, they moved to Los Angeles to follow their dream of becoming screenwriters. “We found out it was a lot harder than we thought,” says Lynda. Instead, to make ends meet, they got jobs in a metaphysical store, selling crystals, Wicca supplies and occult books. They learned to do psychic readings. “You get energy from a person,” she says. “They’re wearing it like clothing, and you can tell what’s going on in their lives.” It was there that they met the spiritual teacher on whom they loosely based the “false prophet” in their novel. “She was very charismatic,” Laura remembers. saw right from the beginning her flaws, though a lot of the stuff she said was right.” They studied with the teacher for eight years, spending thousands of dollars to follow her on “healing journeys” all

over the world, from Stonehenge to the Great Pyramids to Machu Picchu. After a failed joint business endeavor, the twins parted ways with their spirit guide. “She actually did help us,” says Laura. “And she betrayed us, too... she stole our money.” Lynda chimes in, “The betrayal was the best thing that could’ve happened to us, because it enabled us to say, ‘You’re no bet ter than us.’” That drama helped them realize “There isn’t one person who has this answer,” Lynda says. But they continued to investigate fringe
portrait of St. Germaine. Their bookshelves display a diverse array of titles, including Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire o f the Vanities. “He’s one of our favorite authors,” says Laura. They sent him a copy of their book, and though they suspect he hasn’t read it, he wrote them a thank-you note and offered some words of encouragement. False Prophets, Tramps and Thieves is an entertaining debut. The summary on the book jacket accurately bills it as a “fastpaced, fun-filled novel of adventure, romance, and high meditation.” After grad
“She’d write the first half of a chapter, I’d write the second half, then we’d do a lot of rewriting. Because we’re twins, we’re totally in sync. We have the same sense of humor and irony.” LAURA spiritual groups. “We’re always looking for truth,” she adds, “somebody who’s got an angle.” That search brought them to Vermont in 1998, when they flew from California to check out a so-called spiritual leader. “The Master” proved to be a disappointment, but the Campbells fell in love with Vermont and moved out a few months later.
Despite their passion for writing and
their interest in spirituality, the twins cur rently support themselves as freelance book keepers. They work for different companies but manage both their bookkeeping gigs and their creative endeavors through their jointly owned company, Evil Twin Productions. A business office occupies the front room of their house, adjoining thediving room.

uating from Lake Winnemuc Technical College with a degree in Home Decorating, heroine Anne Davis receives a subpoena for a $300,000 lawsuit. She believes her manip ulative mother is behind it. The next day she flees with her cat and a copy of Autobiography o f a Yogi to Southern California, where she finds work at a meta physical bookstore. There she meets Moonbeam, who teaches her to read Tarot, and “Doctor” Reubin Rabinowitz, her benevolent, ex-hippie landlord, who uses his covert network of Internet informants to help Anne with her legal affairs. The twins freely admit that, like their protagonist, they’re susceptible to the tricks of false prophets. By satirizing them, though, they’ve gotten a few laughs and dis covered a rich vein of material. “It started out as.revenge,” Lynda confesses, “but we’ve got a whole series o f False Prophets books in us now.”
Though their novel delves into the New
Age subculture, the twins say there’s nothing mystical about their writing process. “We had a very detailed outline,” says Laura. “She’d write the first half of a chapter, I’d write the second half, then we’d do a lot of rewriting. Because we’re twins,” she adds, “we’re totally in sync. We have the same sense of humor and irony.” But it wasn’t effortless — Lynda admits to some fights and some differences. “She’ll write some thing that is much more blunt. Maybe I’ll be more descriptive.” “I’m probably a better editor,” notes Laura. Lynda agrees. “She’s actually more talent ed than I am in that.” Since the Campbells published the book themselves, they also market it, a job they seem to enjoy. “We make fun of intuitive marketing techniques, hypnotic marketing techniques,” says Laura, referring to the way many “false prophets” promise to reveal secrets to success. Their recent “Clones Reveal Secrets...” press release offers the “Top 12 Ways to Determine if You Are a False Prophet.” Some of their jokes fall flat, such as: “Miss Cleo is your role model.” But they know their material well enough to score a few zingers. A gag offer appears at the end of their list: “For a FREE copy of 10 Signs You May Be a Clone, send email to lcambel@accessvt.com and write ‘A m I a Clone?’ in the subject line.” Though the twins published the book last summer, the marketing didn’t begin in earnest until December. The authors con tacted the book buyer for Sam’s Club, who read False Prophets and liked it. Because it’s a self-published book, the bulk retailer hopes to sell it with other 1st Library books, so Laura put together a package that includes a romance novel written by Buddy Ebsen — a.k.a. Jed Clampett of “The Beverly Hillbillies” fame. A love story from Uncle Jed? Can it get any weirder? For the Campbell twins, romance is not a= big concern. “We’ve never wanted kids,” says Lynda. “It’s never in the cards.“ “We meditate on it a lot,” Laura offers thoughtfully. “God gave us a purpose, God gave us a mission.” Lynda shrugs. “We entertain,” she says, “I really, really like that... If you get married, what’s the point? You’ve got a companion. I feel like I’ve got a companion.” ®

ext time you’re strolling through Burlington, look down at the side walk under your feet. Pam Tuttle might have built it. As a foreman in Burlington’s street department, she works with her crew to build and maintain pedestrian walkways in the city. Though the vast majority of con struction workers in Vermont and around the country are men, Tuttle is proof this isn’t just a guy’s job. “I can stand side by side with any one here and do the same work,” Tuttle says. Her job requires a variety of skills, from managing a crew to maintaining equipment and handling pieces of curb that weigh about 180 pounds. The only woman in the Street Department, Tuttle worked her way up over the past eight years. When she started, she came in at “worse than the bottom,” but before getting there, she felt near rock-bottom in her life — out of work and unable to find a job or qualify for state training programs. “You either had to have kids or be in a certain age group,” she says. “There were just no organizations for me.” Then one day she spotted a flyer that changed the direction o f her life. “I saw this piece o f paper advertising Step Up and I thought, ‘You mean I can do this? There’s no restrictions? There’s nothing that makes me not fit into this program?’” Step Up is a project o f Northern New England Tradeswomen (NNETW), a private nonprofit based in Essex. The six- to nine-week job training program, run for both the public and prison populations, was created in 1985 and is especially intended for lower-income women. The state covers the $3650 price tag for most participants. Women who complete the program are then quali fied to enter an apprenticeship or, like

Class Actions Over the years, Step Up participants have consistently given one piece of feedback. "They ask us, 'Why didn't I know about this job when I was 13?' That's part of the reason we work with girls," says Tiffany Bluemle, executive director of Northern New England Tradeswomen, which runs the Step Up job-training program. NNETW offers a summer day camp for middle-schoolers and a one-day conference called Women Can Do, where high-school girls can choose from 35 seminars that emphasize "lit tle talking, lots of doing," says pro gram coordinator Ginger Gellman. Girls can install shank rivets, cut logs with a chainsaw or even maneuver a backhoe. "They start by fixing their hair and finish by driving ov§r piles of dirt," Gellman notes with a laugh. Any high-school student in Chit tenden County also can choose a track at a tech center in Burlington or Essex and spend two years learning a techni cal skill as part of their regular school course load. But attracting girls into the non-traditional programs —*■spch as design-build or engineering — is*’ difficult. Especially in high school, most girls don't want to cross that ! » invisible, culturally determined line onto boys' turf. "I think there's a fear of being the only one and wondering how people are going to perceive you," Bluemle says. "You're breaking the mold a bit, and what high-school student wants to say, 'I'm different'?"

Today Warren is Burlington’s electrical inspector. “The trades offer pathways for pro fessional advancement,” Bluemle says. “You can’t go very far in a lot of retail jobs. As far as opportunities go, the construction field is ripe.”
Even for women with the basic
skills, breaking into the trades can be tough. And once in, further chal lenges await. For smaller women, it might be hard to find gloves and work suits that fit properly (though Pam Tuttle notes she recently found a pair o f women’s steel-toed work boots for a reasonable price at Wal-Mart).

And though some working mothers can make their own schedules, certain jobs are not exactly family-friendly. “If you’re laying asphalt, you’ve got to stay with it until it’s done, sometimes well beyond the end of the day,” Bluemle notes. “A lot of employers are facing these challenges with both men and women.” Then there’s the bathroom issue. Lisa Marchetti worked at one job site that had no bathroom for a while. “The guys didn’t care, they’d go behind a tree. I wasn’t going to do that, so I’d get in my car and drive to the gas station,” she says. “I hated having to do it, but no one gave me a has sle about it.” Another age-old gender issue can also come up: A report by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found that most of 475 respon dents had been sexually harassed at one point in their careers. The situation Warren faced as a twen tysomething apprentice went like this:

give them a verbal resume, we very quick ly get rid of any suspicions.” Pam Tuttle knows she can hold her own with any crew, but sometimes senses gen der bias from higher up. “It seems like it takes me longer to get anywhere,” she says. “People don’t treat me the same, and they’re watching me all the time to see if I mess up.” Finally, a sense of social isolation can take its toll. When Warren moved from Grand Isle to Burlington a year and a half ago, some customers on the Islands asked her to recommend another master licensed female electrician. She couldn’t find one. Lisa Marchetti concurs: “I almost never work with other women and I’ve only met one other woman carpenter,” she says. And although she reports positive experi ences with male co-workers, she adds, “I would certainly love the opportunity to work with more women.” Despite the lure o f higher wages in the trades, the challenges may drive some
The treatment is done in the office and the entire face can be treated in about 30 m inutes. For best results, a series of 5 ses sions is required.

“First everyone’s really nice to you, and then they try to get you to have sex with them, and then, when you don’t, they’re not nice to you anymore.” Warren began her four-year apprentice ship in Minneapolis in 1979 but halfway through moved to Vermont with her hus band, who had accepted a college teaching job. She completed her apprenticeship in Vermont and found a huge difference in attitude. “Here, I have never, ever experi enced sexual harassment,” Warren says. “Right from the start I was treated with absolute respect.” Some men, such as Harry Atkinson, welcome women on the job site. “I noticed back in the early ’70s a huge change in the civility of construction sites, which are usually disgusting pits of male bad language and poor behavior,” he says. “There was a tremendous increase in the civility of the whole site when women appeared on the job.” Though harassment can and does occur on Vermont job sites, Bluemle notes that it’s hard to know the true extent of the prob lem, since women who have faced harass ment either leave the field or that particular job, just as in any other occupation. “A person’s experience is very much dependent upon the company that hires her and the subcontractors and the indi viduals she works with,” Bluemle says. But I’m happy to say that we’re not often put in the position of trying to run inter ference for people.” Women in the trades might also have to try harder to inspire confidence in clients and colleagues. Warren went on to work at Sherman Electric, eventually earn ing her master’s license and opening her own business, which served the Cham plain Islands. Today, she sometimes has to prove herself when inspecting the work of electricians she hasn’t met before. “The ones who don’t know me, they’re like, Well, what’s your background?’ Once I

women away. After all, the percentage of women in trade occupations has remained a steady 3 to 4 percent for the past 30 years. “More women are going into the trades, but more women are leaving, too,” Bluemle confirms. She hopes N N E T W ’s new mentoring program will help women feel less solitary and more supported, even if it just provides an opportunity to com miserate with a colleague. Tuttle was one of the first women to sign up as a mentor. “You have to have a good strong will to handle the stress of the job sometimes,” she says. “Maybe I can help somebody, give them insight or offer a little bit o f information on how to deal with things I’ve faced.” ®

the studio opens up a far wider palette of sounds to work with. We are really excited to have it at our disposal." Technology aside, the core of The New Deal's sound has always been the interaction of the members live. Shearer's rib shaking beats send out waves of stuttering sound, while Kurtz lays down mechanical, funky licks and Shields intertwines playful melodies with psychedelic sonic trickery. When they settle into a solid groove, it's easy to imagine the group as a DJ,

spinning a living, breathing cycle of organic beats. "The marriage of seemingly disparate musical worlds is what generally leads to the next wave of music," Kurtz comments. "Our sound is a synthesis. Darren may be playing a straight house beat. I may be playing straight house. But Jamie is playing Journey-inspired prog notes. Our sound just becomes a product of the influences and limitations that the three of us have." It is just this sound that has led The New Deal from quiet gigs north of the border to club-packing dates in the States. "The sound of The New Deal is really established, and that makes me feel really good," Kurtz says contentedly. "In most cases the most difficult thing for a band to do is to establish an identity that is recognizable in five seconds." This Saturday, the band travels to Burlington to headline the annual Magic Hat Mardi Gras celebration with gigs on the Church Street Marketplace and at Higher Ground. "It's always fun to play a big party," Kurtz notes, "and Burlington has always been very good to us. Plus, it may not be the coldest anymore by the time we get there." ETHAN COVEY

review th is SCHOOL BUS, PAINLESS (Icebox Records, IB3-001 3-inch CD) School Bus' latest effort is the inaugural release of a 3-inch CD series from Burlington-based Icebox Records. Mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Jason Cooley, a.k.a. School Bus, has previ ously flirted with the possibilities of groove-based, sampleheavy electronica. On Painless, however, he sets aside the drum machine to craft an album of gorgeous, guitar-based drones. Although it clocks in at only 20 minutes, Cooley establishes a hypnotic rhythm through the gentle ebb and flow of ethereal hums and clicks. Sampled voices waver in and out as the brief tracks rise and fall, gelling together into a unified whole. Yet Painless is not mere bliss-out blur. Just as certain notes seem to bring waves of chill, a storm of static fuzz crackles through. Painless is a texturally thrilling document of modern drone, a satisfying journey indeed. ETHAN COVEY
T A L A , DANCES AND RITES (Saturn People Productions, CD)
STEVE KIERNAN, MAN OF GLASS (Self-released, CD) Steve Kiernan is certainly not the first person to play the acoustic guitar as if the strings were attached to his heart, but all 13 of the instrumental tunes on Man of Glass are the musical equivalent of an intimate connection. The vulnerability expressed in the new solo project's title is matched by the deli cate tone of Kiernan's 12-string guitar. Which, by the way, is a jumbo-bodied Breedlove. A seasoned journalist as well as musi cian, Kiernan provides informative liner notes about his instru ment and the tunings for each song — in case anyone wants to try them at home. And that would not be easy. From the jaunty original "Wasabi Special" to an 18th-century Turlough O'Carolan Irish lament to the solemn, "Kiernanized" version of "The Water is Wide," this guitarist is virtuosic. Agile fingers and a sensitive ear serve tunes that speak volumes without text. It's impossible to know what goes on in a composer's mind when he crafts a wordless tune, but Kiernan's playing aches with bittersweet pas sion in "Wishbone" and the more complicated "Woman of Stone, Man of Glass." His fingerwork shimmers with tenderness in "Old Country Home" and manages to be in two places at once in a solo variation of Duane Allman's classic "Little Martha." If you're looking for an album that conveys the emotional soundtrack of a deeply felt life, this is it.
When Plainfield trumpeter Brian Boyes finished his five-year tenure with viperHouse in 2000, he no doubt had experienced his fair share of low-pay, high-travel dance gigs with one of Vermont's premiere bands. Retaining the vipers' funk sensibility, he then formed an ensemble to play his original, and less commercially viable, compositions. With a rare combination of tough-minded pragmatism and creative artistry, Boyes had no illusions about making a living playing art music, and he refused to be limited musically by economic considerations. Armed with a teaching gig at the Cabot School that allowed him to keep body and soul together, Boyes was free to nurture his muse. Tala, the horn-heavy septet/octet heard on this disc, is the product of Boyes' musical vision. The fair-sized ensemble employs no chordal instrument but sports twin reeds and brass for unfet tered harmonic possibilities, along with a funky bass and fatback rhythm section. Boyes' compo sitions incorporate Indian classical rhythms and song cycles with spine-tingling jazz harmonies. The resulting music engages the listener intellectually as well as viscerally. Boyes is hesitant to call Tala's music jazz, though it does allow a judicious amount of solo space and some spontaneous conducting on the bandstand. The emphasis is on serving the com positions while riding those delicious grooves. "Tala" refers to the Indian classical-music term for rhythm, which in this case is cyclical rather than linear in conception. A feature of tala is the sub-division of pulse that articulates the cycles. Trap drummer Gabe Jarrett is particularly adept at these sizzling, unique "rhythms within rhythms." Bassist Rob Morse is masterful at keeping it all on the ground. Without piano or guitar in the picture, the Tala horns assist rhythmically by playing figures that might otherwise be assigned to a chordal instrument in the rhythm section. Boyes' sonic palette is rich and varied. In addition to the horn-dominated ensemble sound, pleasant surprises in the mix include West African balafon, Indian tabla and even some electronic seasoning from time to time. Shifts in feel vary from JB funk to electronica to Haitian 6/8 and even free-blowing collective improvisation. There's a lot of music on this disc, and the high cal iber of playing augurs a lot more where this came from — most of the players in Tala are involved in other projects as well. Dances and Rites is highly recommended for fans of creative new music. RICHARD MAYER

very philatelist knows that the first postage stamp was the British “penny black” released in 1840. “Cancelled: an international group exhibit of cancelled and postmarked art” could not have happened without it. But as the title o f the show at Burlington’s Flynn dog suggests, the invention of the postmark is equally important. The 1840 postmark was black until Sir Robert Hill, inventor of the stamp, surmised that a black postmark on a black stamp was not a good idea. He suggested that the color of either stamp or postmark should be red. Such a revelation! He was hailed as a genius, and the “penny red” stamp was released in 1841. Postal items have been getting more color ful ever since. This exhibition reveals just how
sender, post office, receiver and gallery. Scale, as determined by postal regulations, is basically consistent throughout the show. The element o f time is introduced with each postmark. Some of the items are primarily sculptural, while others are flat and frontally oriented. Signature styles in some of the pieces identify them as the work of a particular artist. Germanias Poker H and,” by Lilian Aye, is a startling image o f seven Third Reich-era postcards arranged like a hand of cards held by a black velvet glove. Old postcards and stamps are usually mundane relics of bygone vacations, but in this case Aye provides a chilling context. The most popular postage stamp used in the show is probably the Andy Warhol, with

ow the mighty — well, the marketable anyway — have fallen. Not so long ago, it would have been difficult to imagine Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet or director Alan Parker involved with any but the most charmed of movie projects. American Beauty, Titanic, The Commit ments — its a long way down to the lowbrow, button-pushing embarrass ment that is The Life o f David Gale. Spacey gives the least credible, most colorless performance of his career in the role of a college professor and anti death penalty activist whose life slips out of his hands as quickly as a bar of soap. O f course, the films creators have stacked the deck against him. As writ ten, his character has a drinking prob lem. His wife is conducting a preposter ous affair with some guy in Spain. And an undergraduate vixen has seduced him at a wild faculty bash and then publicly accused him of rape. Things go from bad to worse — and that includes the writing — as Gale’s wife returns to the States long enough to leave with his son, and the university asks him to vacate his post. In a cartoon of a downward spiral, the eminent author and academician is reduced in a single stroke to living in squalor. I know, I was supposed to feel bad for the poor shmuck, but it was Spacey whose lot I
bemoaned as I watched him, as Gale, walking the sleazy streets at night and babbling drunkenly about Plato. Please. The only bright spots left in his life are his high-ranking spot in an advocacy group called Deathwatch and his friend ship with fellow activist Laura Linney. So, of course, one gives him the boot and the other is revealed to be suffering from a fatal disease. At least until she’s found dead, naked, handcuffed and wearing a Hefty trash bag on her head. Do I need to tell you who’s convicted of her murder? Fast forward six years, and enter Winslet as an investigative reporter sent to interview Gale just days before he’s scheduled to die by lethal injection in a Texas prison. The doomed fellow tells the writer his story over a period of days and insists he’s innocent. Little by little, the young woman begins to believe him. Meanwhile, ominous though sense less things happen to Winslet. A myste rious cowboy in a pickup follows her everywhere. Someone breaks into her motel room and ties a videotape to the light cord hanging from the ceiling. On the tape: footage of Linney in her death throes. Do I need to tell you she doesn’t say boo to the police? Movie law requires that all stories about reporters interviewing soon-to-be
executed prisoners culminate in a thirdact race against the clock to bring justdiscovered evidence forward in time to save the unjustly condemned. So I’m not giving anything away. Winslet’s race is teased in the picture’s opening sequence. What I can’t tell you is what happens right after she makes it back to the jail. That’s because the movie has a Big Surprise Twist. And that’s about all it has. It certain ly doesn’t have anything of importance to say on the subject of the death penal ty. It’s far too contrived and implausible a house of cards. The movie also doesn’t have anything to offer in the goosebumps department. Attempts to gener ate an atmosphere of Yankee-getsmessed-with-by-scary-rednecks paranoia result in a strictly made-for-TV level of menace. And the film doesn’t have any thing but bad news for Spacey fans, anx ious for the actor to break a stinky streak that’s included duds Pay It Forward, The Big Kahuna, The Shipping News and K-Pax. The debate over capital punishment rages on. If The Life o f David Gale suc ceeds at anything, it’s at offering com mon ground to opposing camps. Almost everyone is sure to agree this picture is pretty much unpardonable. ®

he enigmatic Everlyn Sampi looked like a typical American teen in jeans and a sweatshirt at last Augusts Montreal World Film Festival. But she’s actually an Aboriginal actress who was in Quebec to promote Rabbit-Proof Fence, a true story from Down Under set in 1931. Directed by Philip Noyce, the historical drama opens this weekend at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier. Although new to the profession, Sampi gives a powerfully understated per formance as a resourceful adolescent named Molly, whose “half caste” status is anathema to Australia’s white govern ment. The official policy, which was not abolished until 1971, involved forcibly placing such children in residential schools that were strict and bleak enough to qualify as concentration camps. Few happily-ever-afters awaited the people who would come to be known as the Stolen Generations. The youngsters were indoctrinated in preparation for an insidious breeding program that regulat ed their choice of partners. The prevail ing theory was that if biracial individuals

married only other light-skinned natives, their descendants would eventually have no black physical characteristics whatso ever — a kind of slow genocide. Fathered by transient white laborers, 14-year-old Molly Craig, her younger sister Daisy (Tianna Sansbury) and their cousin Gracie (Laura Monaghan) live a hardscrab ble existence with the single mothers and grandmothers of the “Jigalong Mob.” These matriarchal nomads wage a brave but futile resistance against the legalized kidnapping of their kin. Sent 1500 miles away to a rural Christian orphanage, Molly, Daisy and Gracie are installed in a drab dormitory with dozens of fellow captives. They’re required to sleep on cots, eat unfamiliar food, use a bucket for a toilet, train for factory work or domestic servitude, and abandon their own language. “We don’t use that jabber here,” a somber nun tells them as a means of enforcing the English-oniy rule. The massive dislocation is micro-managed by Mr. Neville, the appointed Chief Protector of the regional indigenous pop ulation who talks of solving “the colored problem.” As played by Kenneth Branagh, he exemplifies the bigoted banality of the ruling class. And his mat
ter-of-fact rectitude is a much more inter esting take than garden-variety villainy. Dubbed “Mr. Devil,” this efficient bureaucrat is simply oblivious to the inhumanity of the country’s shameful experiment in social engineering. This is only a decade before the Nazis’ ethnic cleansing program in Europe. W hen Molly leads Daisy and Gracie in a daring escape, the trio has no choice but to make the 1500-mile trip home on foot. Their navigational guideline is the rabbit-proof fence of the title — a barrier that traverses the island continent to pro tect farmland from hungry bunnies. W ithout food or water, the waifs live by their wits during a nine-week journey through the rugged Outback. The authorities pursue them and dispatch a wily Aboriginal tracker (David Gulpilil of Walkabout fame) who’s has mixed emo tions about his task. During this sus pense-filled chase, Peter Gabriel’s mourn ful score seems to echo across the forbid ding landscape, which is beautifully cap tured by cinematographer Christopher Doyle. Michael Caine recently earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Noyces other current release, The Quiet American, which was shot in Vietnam. The Aussie filmmaker returns to his homeland in Rabbit-Proof Fence after many years of high-profile Hollywood projects such as Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. This latest action-adventure, adapted from a book by the real-life Molly Craig’s daughter, replaces explosions and car crashes with the indomitable spirit of three little girls. • Ordinary Sinner, which opened in New York City last week, was shot on the Green Mountain College campus in southern Vermont during the summer of 2000. Students worked as extras in the indie film, which had a meager budget of $500,000. The New York director, John Henry Davis, is a cinema studies profes sor at LaGuardia Community College in Queens. The picture concerns a hetero sexual romantic triangle that’s complicat ed by a subplot about gay-bashing. It won two top prizes at the 2002 Slamdunk Festival in Utah, but has received generally negative reviews from Big Apple critics.

The Tooth Fairy booked a gig at the Burlington Community Health Center last week to coach kids on the merits of preventative dentistry. The fairy — a.k.a. dental assistant Bianca Nolin — was in full regalia, wearing a pale blue gown, silver pumps, a sparkling tiara and translucent white wings. In one hand she held a beribboned wand topped with what looked like a dented heart. Apologetically, she explained, "It's meant to be a tooth." The kids were slow to show up. After two long hours, punctuated by the occasional photo-op with a dentist or administrator, the Tooth Fairy took the ini tiative: The mountain would go to Mohammed. Armed with 200-some give-away oral hygiene kits — plastic
dance
cups with stickers, a toothbrush and toothpaste — she headed for the Boys and Girls Club, where scores of little kids in baggy clothes were just arriving. Shedding their winter coats and behemoth backpacks,

"Why doesn't she have antlers?" As the Tooth Fairy's assistants — two students in
'ANNA KARENINA': Dartmouth’s theater
festive scrubs — demonstrated brushing and flossing techniques, kids volunteered what they knew about mouth health. Candy is bad for your teeth. Milk is good. Plaque is bumpy and usually white, but it can be yellow or occasionally even brown. I had a question for the fairy: Why hadn't I been allowed to take home my excavated wisdom teeth? I've had 12 teeth pulled, and usually I got to keep them. Plus, there's a premium on extracted teeth: I always got $1 per tooth after a visit to the dentist, whereas teeth that dropped on their own earned a measly 25 cents. The Tooth Fairy explained that adult teeth are considered biohazards; baby teeth, which lack a root and other gunk, are not. But if you ask, surgeons will release your teeth after a 24-hour waiting period. I was depressed as I left the center. I could have gotten my wisdom teeth back after all. I figured the Tooth Fairy owed me $4. — Karen Shimizu

With a female focus and live performances, Estrogen T e st is dearly not your average film festival. Now in its third year, the threeday cinem atic "celebration of women and girls" shines a worldly ligh t on issues ranging from reproductive rights and gender roles to body im age and lesbianism . The New York Times called Iranian opener The Day I Became a Woman "an asto nish in g directorial debut," while Mexican closer Sehorita Extravida won the Grand Jury prize at last year's Sundance Film Festival. Poets, speakers, m usicians and dancers add further drama to the X-chrom osom ed extravaganza.

The Shelburne Athletic Club has changed all that. Sure it was a lot of hard work on my part, but without the support, encouragement and friendship of the SAC staff and members, I could not have achieved my goals. I am literally half the person I used to be, enjoying activities I never considered before. I'm healthy, S HELBURNE happy and having the time of my life! A 100 Km bike ride? Where do I sign up?

You’ve got something smeared on your arm, Ted. Oh my god...is that a tattoo?
Sure is, Honey. Got it down at the “Campus Barbarian” next to the Shopwood Mali’s food court for forty dollars.
I’m a little upset with you, Ted. It would’ve been nice if you had discussed it with me before you got a bird tattooed on your arm.
Uh, don’t do that, Ted. It would detract from the understated elegance of your gorgeous little bat. *
It isn’t a bird, Hon.It’s a vampire bat.
A VAMPIRE BAT...?!!
Settle down, Dear...you’ll barely even notice it once I’ve got the dragons versus zombie warriors scene running down to my wrist.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Is hope overrated? W hile it can provide consolation when life is painfully confounding, the Sufi poet Rumi suggested that it may actually get in the way o f finding a cure. “W hen water gets caught in habitual whirlpools,” he wrote, “dig a way out through the bottom to the ocean. There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can not hope. The hopers would feel slighted if they knew.” W hat if Rumi was right, Aries? Speaking on behalf o f the astrological omens, I advise you to let hopelessness be your guide in the coming week.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-M ay 20): Some astrologers theorize that there’s an undiscovered planet called Vulcan, whose orbit is inside that of Mercury. Because it’s so close to the sun’s oblit erating blaze, scientists haven’t detect ed it. In ancient Roman mythology, Vulcan was the god of metal-working. From his forge beneath the Earth, he made tools for himself and the other gods. His creations were renowned for both their usefulness and beauty. The astrologers who propose the existence o f the planet Vulcan say it’s the ruler of Taurus. I bring this to your atten tion because it so-happens that you’re poised to channel its influence with maximum strength in the coming weeks. Try this meditation: Visualize yourself wielding controlled fire to forge beautiful and useful things for you and your powerful allies.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Each year the science magazine, Annals o f Improbable Research, awards “Ig Nobel Prizes” to imaginative eccentrics. A prize in chemistry was once given to researchers who discov ered that rom antic infatuation is bio chemically indistinguishable from obsessive-compulsive disorder; other

Others arrive at it by adding the digits o f their birth date or by taking the numerological value o f their name. So-called “master numbers” like 2 2 , 33, and 55 are favorites, too. Personally, I have two special numbers: 23 zillion and 3.1415926, the value o f pi. I hope this whets your imagination, Cancerian. Your fortunes are in the process o f changing, and it would be a good time to pick a new lucky number. If I were you, I’d also seek out a new power animal, initiation name, and talismanic symbol.
take five bites o f each while intoning the affirmation, “I am hungry for the kaleidoscopic, chameleon-like, unimaginable tru th .”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My Aquarian and Sagittarian friends are the best laughers I know. By that I mean that they laugh longer and more frequently than most. They also tend to chortle at ironies that others take way too seriously. Best o f all, their laughs are works o f art: sudden, explosive, wild and uncanny. I m en tion this, Virgo, because I believe you’re entering a phase when you’ll have the potential to m utate into an Aquarian- or Sagittarian-style laugher. Please take full advantage o f this hilarious opportunity. Explore the untapped depths o f your sense o f humor. Give your laughter the chance to grow dramatically in its power to heal both you and everyone who is sprayed with the saliva flung out dur ing your paroxysms o f primal amuse ment.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-O ct. 2 2 ): Last year the Boston Globe ran 901 corrections o f previously published information. In other words, it aver aged 17.3 acknowledged mistakes per week. The Chicago Tribune's total was 658, or 12.7 errors per week. Even though your blooper rate will be higher than usual in the coming days, it won’t come anywhere near theirs. There’ll be no excuse for berating yourself or succum bing to massive outbreaks o f guilt, then, will there? Even at your most flub-prone, you’ll still be more perfect than two o f America’s most well-respected news papers. I suggest, though, that to t , minimize flak from insensitive critics, you borrow the Globe's or Tribune's approach. You can get away with a lot if “I confess” or “I’m sorry” is always on the tip o f your tongue.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Arunothai Sriaran is Thailand’s new “Miss D runk.” She won the title in a contest after gulping down too much wine and navigating her way through an obstacle course while wearing a heavy silk dress and golden headgear. In the insouciant spirit of this wicked fun, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I hereby name you “Ms. (or Mr.) D runk-on-Life.” Your carefree and mischievously benevolent reign will last for either three weeks or until you stop learning new tricks about the art o f being intelligently wild, whichever comes last.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 2 2 -Dec. 2 1 ): You’re progressing nicely
in your efforts to master life’s most complicated skills. For instance, you’re making better and better mis takes all the time. You’re getting pret ty good at being three places at once, too; and with every passing m onth you know more about using your fears to motivate you so they won’t paralyze you. W hat you’d benefit from most right now, though, is a refresher course in the simplest fun damentals. For starters, you still have a lot to learn about how to sleep and eat. And it’s not too far-fetched to say that you could use some breathing lessons. For that matter, Sagittarius, you’re not exactly a Ph.D . in the art o f happiness. I suggest you sniff around to see if there are any crafty elders offering workshops on how to regard everything that comes your way as a blessing.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Forget about the 900-pound gorilla problem, Capricorn; you’ve got it pretty much neutralized for now. I suggest you turn your atten tion to the three-gram hum m ingbird
dilemma: you know, the beautiful lit tle bundle o f nonstop energy darting around like neon fire. Please keep in m ind that the brave forcefulness you sum m oned to deal with the gorilla may not be o f much help in this fresh challenge. A suggestion: Try tuning in to your own inner humm ingbird.
AQUARIUS (Jan.. 20-Feb. 18): “T he elephant never gets tired of carrying its tusks,” says a proverb of the Vai tribe in Liberia. I suggest you make that a central meditation in the coming week, Aquarius. Maybe it’ll inspire you to intensify your com m it m ent to the duties that make you so unique and beautiful. It’s the perfect astrological m om ent to do that. Do not, however, interpret the proverb to mean you should keep hauling around toxic emotions that you gen erated while neurotically slaving away at obnoxious duties in the distant past. They not only weaken and ugli fy you, they’re also unnecessary. D um p them.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The average Pisces catches 147 colds in a lifetime, endures a serious case of hurt feelings three times a m onth, and fantasizes about the end o f the world once every 6.2 days. I predict, however, that you will experience none o f the above during the coming weeks. T hat’s because you’re slipping into a grace period that may shock you with its ease, beauty and abun dance. It will be a time when your innocence regenerates and your wis dom freshens; a seed time when your determ ination to feel good will trum p your habitual tendencies to expect the worst; a time o f awakening when your perceptions will deepen and expand even as the world is created anew right in front o f your eyes.

Dear Lola, My boyfriend and I have a pretty healthy sex life, which sometimes includes watching porn together. After watching a woman pleasuring a man with a strap-on, I have become completely obsessed with trying it myself. My partner is a good lover, but a little less adventurous than I am. Any suggestions about how I can convince him to give it a try? Randy in Rutland Dear Randy, Let him ease into it slowly. Pick one up and bring it out some time, not in a sexual context. Give it a name. Let him handle it. Treat it like a game. Make some jokes. Let him play with it. Keep it low-pressure. Let him watch you using it on yourself, then let him take a turn using it on you. Put it on and dance around; let him see how cute it looks on you, and how much fun you have wearing it. Let him feel your fingers walking where you want to take your toy. Get some nice lubri cant to help ease him into the idea. And if after all that he's still closed to the notion, don't push it. Love, Lola
