DILLON IS BEST ;. “Winter of Discontent” [February 17] was the best examina tion yet of the very complex Mr. Otten. (And, as an industry watcher, I’ve read ’em all). The article reaf firmed two things. One, that for better or worse, Les Otten has trans formed American winter recreation. Two, that John Dillon is the best journalist in Vermont. Thanks John — and Seven Days! — Jim Tabor Waitsfield JADED OUTLOOK I write to you today over my dis appointment concerning the removal of the excellent monthly column, Barry Snyder’s “Vidiot Savant,” from this newspaper. This editorial decision has really jaded my outlook on the quality of this news paper. Mr. Snyder’s writing reflects someone who truly understands the film medium. And he writes with such elegance, always educating readers on the social and cultural repercussions of motion pictures. Once memorable article that Mr. Snyder contributed was for the Where Is Stephanie? documentary. In this article, Mr. Snyder’s understand ing prose prepares the reader for an important yet devastating film, as he writes about it by carefully softening the subject matter, at the same time underscoring the film’s relevance. This, and the rest of Snyder’s work, has distinguished him from the gar den-variety reviews we can find in any other local paper. He is the best that we have. I understand that Mr. Snyder’s commentary may be less “pedestri-

an” than the average local film review, and that’s exactly what baf fles me. Is Seven Days not commit ted to a higher standard of journal ism? It is also a decision which shows that this newspaper is not equally committed to all of our art mediums. Seven Days must acknowl edge that within Burlington and Vermont there is a present and thriving film community, or it will most assuredly lose some portion of its readership. — Drew S. Brooks South Burlington LETTERS SECTION ABUSED I had to to compliment a friend of mine on a particularly well-written “elect our leader” letter which appeared over his signature in last week’s issue. Imagine my surprise when he informed me that he hadn’t actually written it. That letter, he said, and others like it, were actually written by a mayoral campaign manager who then had the party faithful sign them and send them in. I hope the editors and readers of Seven Days are as outraged as I am by this abuse of your public forum. Many of us really treasure the democracy embodied in the letters section of the paper. When paid political hacks write multiple letters and then get them into the paper over other people’s signatures, it destroys the credibility of the whole forum. It also drowns out any gen uine discussion which might other wise occur in that space. ■‘ — Brian Perkins Burlington JUDGING RESPONSIBILITY Lawyers Peter Langrock, Frank

Murray and others testifying in defense of Supreme Court Justices Dooley, Morse and Johnson remind me of apple polishers back in first . grade. Will those Justices recuse them selves the next time those lawyers have cases before them? They would jf those lawyers had testified against them. Since when is it un-American to debate judicial activism v. judicial restraint? The civil unrest caused by the Brigham decision and subse quent Act 60 is hard to ignore. Exactly how do judges take responsi bility for the consequences of their actions if their “independence” real ly means sacred cowardice? The Vermont Constitution explicitly provides for the judicial retention process, unlike the “right” to equal education, which is nowhere provid ed for. — Catherine E. Clark, Esq. Burlington WAKE UP, BURLINGTON Been meaning to write this for some time now. I moved to this town from Olympia, Washington, and have been suppressing a giggle at most of it; the lame social cliques, the bullshit politics. It happens in every city, to some extent. Finally, though, what I had to protest was the city’s giving Filene’s so damn much money for a damn carpark. Are you really so desperate to throw money around for a tax writeoff? Well, I think it’s a given the art scenes in this town are starving for it, but I can think of one thing that’s far more lamentable. The Meals on Wheels program for the elderly and housebound has dried up, and we’re

wasting money on another pathetic . business for bored yuppies? Wake UP, Burlington. Wake up and smell the weak, dubiously bad coffee you Nor’easterners seem to favor! Now, I already know this town is just begging to become another tourist haven, (but I mean, after last year’s ice storm you let Filene’s tear out a park? Think FOLIAGE, you dorks!) between all the big business es and the laughable attempt by Lockridge’s Big Heavy/the Buzz and you people to try and make a Seattle-style hype of the place by riding on the coat-tails of Phish’s success; it seems to me you’ve always only ever given the barest of lip ser vice to the idea of helping the poor. Easier still to let steakhead coppers like Boor beat the snot out of them, and close the Food Shelf for holi days no one in the world celebrates. (It was sad to see all the hungry vet erans standing around with nowhere to eat on Veteran’s day, and as Vanilla Christ of the great departed ’zine PooPoo said, what the HELL is a Bennington Battle Day to any one?) Point is, you want to waste money, you want to just throw it down a hole, I recommend you throw it to those who’d appreciate your pocket change, instead of giv ing it to the rich. You may think this little scene is the be-all and endall, but other cities would laugh at your primitive view of what’s cool, and your callousness to the rich cul ture this place really has — the old poebucker farmers and Abenakis who are barely able to scrounge what they need to live from welfare already. — Rael One-Cloud Burlington ®

Pass the Crow! Wrong. Dead wrong. Positively, absolutely totally freaking wrong was yours truly with last week’s prediction on the Burlington mayor’s race. Instead o f a 2 7 6 -vote win for Republican Kurt W right, Burlington voters gave Prog ressive Mayor Peter Clavelle a 2000-vote land slide victory — one that surprised everyone, including da’ mayor. “I’m ecstatic,” said Mayor M oonie o f the results: 5829 votes for Clavelle, 3834 for Wright. H e described the out come as “a vote o f confidence,” not just in his leadership, but also in the way things are going in Vermont’s largest city. W hy so large a margin? Clavelle’s task was to get moderate Democrats and Republicans to think twice about putting a convenience store assistant manager in the mayor’s seat. T hat’s where the endorsements from Patrick Leahy and Howard D ean help ed ...in spades. Clearly, vot ers in the N ew N orth End — traditionally conservative terri tory — decided Kwik Stop did not have the resume to lead the city. The anticipated 1000-vote cushion from out on North Avenue shriveled to a 354-vote lead. Hey, that’s w hy we have BY PE T E elections. Secondly, give beaucoup credit to the Progressive campaign. They ran scared and they ran hard, and Clavelle’s victory is a tribute to the determination and talent o f a new generation o f twentysom ething Progs, par ticularly Peter Baker and A shley Moore. Tuesday’s landslide launches Mayor M oonie into the statewide mix. H e says he doesn’t want one o f those W ashington, D .C . jobs — M ontpelier w ould be just fine. And St. Patrick, H o-H o, D ou g Racine and others will welcom e him with open arms into the Vermont Democratic Party. Burlington Progressives sure have a lot to celebrate under the March full m oon. Yours truly will be eating crow until the snow melts. Please pass the mayo. Campaign N oteb ook — Let’s recap some o f the memorable m om ents along the campaign trail: • N o question, U V M Coach Tom Brennan is one funny guy. Coach has been an outspoken Wright supporter. But it was his joke at Kurt’s city hall rally a couple weeks back that Kwik Stop and his supporters w on’t soon forget. An earlier speaker addressed the gathering as an “independent” voter. She said she’d voted for Progs in the past, but this time Kurt was her man. In fact, she thought Kurt was actually “a closet independent.” Following her lead, Coach told the rally, “Rosalie said she’s worried that Kurt might be a closet independent,” he said. “My concern is that he’s a closet alcoholic, because every time I’ve been with him the guy’s been half-drunk!” Kurt froze in his tracks. T he audience hushed. There were a couple nervous giggles. Then Coach assured them, “I’m just teasing, o f course, about that.” You’ve never seen so m any people so relieved all at once, as their laughter filled the hall. • Gov. Howard D ean stuck his nose in the race — big time! It’s no secret H o-H o is not a Prog-lover, and has never been a Bernie . Sanders fan, either. You’d think two kids from N ew York C ity could get along, but Park Avenue is a long way from Flatbush. However,

their successful political careers have occurred simultaneously. H o-H o moved to Burlap in 1978 and witnessed the 1981 Sanderista Revolution. But Dr. Dean, as he was known back then, never took on the Progs in Burlington. Never ran for the city council. Today H o-H o is Vermont’s Political Big Cheese. So when Howard Dean came to city hall to endorse Clavelle, we just had to ask if his support for Clavelle also reflected his acknowledgment that almost 20 years o f Progressive rule had “invigorated” Burlington. “It has,” replied Dean. “There’s no question about it. Even some o f the things I disagreed with when Bernie was mayor. You cannot say that he did not invigorate the city. He definitely did. I wasn’t supportive o f some o f the things that he did, but we did work together on some things like the bikepath. You can’t deny that this city has been reinvigo rated by that leadership.” As he was leaving, we asked the Guv if Bernie might receive his second life time Progressive endorse ment in 2000 over Jim Jeffords. H o-H o grabbed his throat and pretended to gag. Funny guy. R FREYM Then last week, when we complimented the Guv for his kudos for O l’ Bernardo, he denied he’d ever praised Bernie by name. “Check the tape,” said H o-H o. We did. You lose, Guv. • Thanks to Peter Clavelle for helping to expose one very big loophole in Vermont’s campaign finance law. The $200 monthly rent at Clavelle headquarters in Ray Pecor’s Courthouse Plaza building raised eyebrows. The swanky six-story office complex also hous es Merrill Lynch, the IRS, Sen. Patrick Leahy’s office and, on top, Downs Rachlin & Martin — the state’s largest law firm. W CAX reported the space normally rents for $3700 a month. Remember, we now have a $200 ceiling on campaign donations. Pecor, the kid from the Old North End known for his Midas touch, was pretty generous. But Secretary o f State D eb Markowitz says it’s all kosher. In fact, under the law, Pecor could have rented it to Pedro for $ 1. As long as he charged something, it’s perfectly legal. Hell o f a loophole! • Some Clavelle supporters badmouthed Kurt for not having a college degree. Somehow they figured that makes him unqualified. Take note that other prominent Vermonters without sheepskins include Speaker o f the House M ichael O buchowski, Sens. Jan Backus and D ick Mazza, Ruth Dwyer and our beloved John LeClair. Dam n elitists! • Let’s hear it for the candidates and the clean, honorable campaign they ran! T he fact is, both M oonie and Kwik Stop are known to enjoy a cold one together every now and then. They’re a couple o f nice guys who haven’t let their poli tics spoil their relationship. Clavelle said it best on W C PV radio M onday morning, “Actually,” said M oonie, “Kurt and I have quite a bit in com m on. W e’re both working-class kids from working-class backgrounds. I grew up in W inooski. He grew up in Vergennes. We know what hard work’s about. As we progressed in our lives into poli tics,” however, added Clavelle^ “Kurt just took a wrong turn at some point in time and head ed o ff into the Republican Party.” ®

Hats Off to S c ie n c e Researchers in the Netherlands, France and Ireland came up w ith what they claim is a new and improved way to track seals. Instead o f using satellites or affixing flipper tags, they began gluing conical hats with identification markings onto the seals’ heads.

When Guns Are Outlawed Philippines authorities arrested Lem on Ercan, 40, and N our G ole, 26, both o f Turkey, for swindling currency exchange operators. All the victims insisted they had been duped into giving the suspects m oney through hypnosis. • A group o f about 15 men robbed a Pizza H u t delivery person in Alexandria, Virginia, by attacking the victim with snowballs. D uring the barrage, one o f the m en grabbed

Corporal Klinger in Civilian Life T he American Federation o f Government Employees Local 1897 filed a complaint on behalf o f a male civilian worker at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, after the man’s squadron commander ordered him to stop wearing wom en’s clothing. David Plante, presi dent o f the AFGE chapter, said the order is not allowed by the union contract. The employee, who said he has been wearing a bra, makeup and earrings to work for the past five years, wants permis sion to keep dressing as he wishes, plus $580,000 for his trouble.

Quick Thinking Police officers in Leeds, England, told the city’s crown court that they detained Judge T im othy Parkin, 43, after one o f their undercover agents spotted him picking up a pros titute on a city street. The offi cers testified that when they approached the judges auto mobile, he jumped out and exclaimed, “Thank God, offi cers. Can you help me? I can’t get this woman out o f m y car.”

Second-Amendment Follies Carolyn H utchinson, 35, was using a Cincinnati restroom when her gun fell out o f her underwear and fired

when it hit the floor, shooting the woman in the leg. She explained that she had forgot ten she had the gun in her panties.

Virtual World The Graduate Management Admission Council announced it will use robots to help grade essay questions on its Graduate Management Admission Test, which is used to evaluate 200,000 business-school appli cants a year. T he electronic grading device, called the “Erater,” is designed to “look for such things as the organization o f ideas and syntactical struc ture,” according to council spokesperson Frederic McHale, who said the E-rater was developed to cut costs, provide test results sooner and improve objectivity. • Advanced Telecommunications Research in Kyoto, Japan, has designed an artificial brain with nearly 40 million artificial neurons to power a robot kitten. The designers said they expect the brain, which will be built at a laboratory in Colorado, will enable the robot to act with the same intelligence as a real kitten.

like Mormons. Church spokesperson Dale Bills said the standards are similar to the honor code at the church’s Brigham Young University, whose students promise to abstain from coffee, tea, alco hol, tobacco, illicit drugs, sex outside marriage, profanity, shorts above the knee, beards and earrings on men.

Thanks for Nothing After a flood destroyed the Czech village o f Troubky, Germans dispatched a truck delivering humanitarian aid. W hen the truck arrived, how ever, instead o f containing clothing and furniture, it was full o f bread baked in 1988 that was intended to be used only in an emergency by sol diers in wartime. Deputy

Mayor Radek Brazda said the stale bread was fed to poultry.

England’s songbird popula tion is declining because the birds are forgetting how to sing. A Spokesperson for the Royal Society for the Protection o f Birds blamed

traffic noise for preventing new generations o f birds from learning their mating calls, noting that instead o f m elodi ous song, all some birds can manage is a pathetic tweet. • Police in Mashhad, Iran, announced a crackdown on people who keep pigeons as pets. Explaining that the pop ularity o f the birds has created a pest problem, officials announced that anyone found possessing pigeons faces six m onths to three years in prison.

Why They Call It Turkey Turkey’s Justice Ministry announced in January that wom en and girls no longer will be forced to undergo vir ginity tests. Previously, the government was zealous in conducting gynecoll logical tests to determine the vir) ginity status o f orphans, prisoners and even foreign tourists staying in hotel rooms with male ipanions. • Diners at the Hotel Anil in Gum bet, Turkey, were in the middle o f their meal last sum mer when staff members began circumcising young boys in the restaurant on a giant bed decorated with flags and trimmings.

lemon halm redclover ^ hyssop G R E A T S C O T T : N othing like a war painting to get lawmakers whipped up into a spending frenzy. Last week, the Vermont Senate joined the H ouse in voting to release up to $200,000 to purchase “Rear Guard at W hite Oak Swamp.” The painting, by Julian Scott, depicts the O ld Vermont Guard in a Civil War bat tle under the com m and o f General W illiam Farrar Smith. Its his most important picture outside the one already hanging in the Statehouse — the huge and prominent “Battle o f Cedar Creek.” But the focus is more intense, according to curator David S c h U tZ. “The light in the painting emphasizes a strapping sol dier in the foreground and his comrades grouped around him ,” Schutz explains. Twenty-three o f them are Vermont boys. W ithout a lot o f lobbying, lawmakers signed right up. Perhaps because the artist, and the subject matter, were already familiar to them, “it was a very comfortable fit,” Schutz says. Negotiating with the consortium o f dealers who own the piece might prove more challenging, however. But Schutz thinks the deal could be done by Friday. H e is more concerned about an upcom ing vote on a proposed design for a new carpet in the Senate. Some still feel the one in the H ouse Chamber is too, well, loud. Goes with the territory . . . S E C O N D C H A N C E : You might want to take another look at Second Sight, by Vermont author R ic k e y Gard Diam ond. Published in paperback two years ago by Calyx Books, the novel has been reissued — and repackaged — this m onth by Harper Collins. “I think it is fairly unusual for this to happen,” says Diam ond, who credits Oregon-based Calyx for the double deal ing. Calyx only publishes first novels by wom en authors, and every so often lands a winner. “They thought my book might have a broader appeal, and so they shopped it around,” D iam ond says. T he premise does have potential: domestic vio lence, from the point o f a view o f a female hunter. And Harper Collins has replaced the original cover graphic — a cheesy m on tage with deer, rifle and Volkswagen bug — with something more understated and mysterious. The blurb from best-selling Wally Lamb is still front-and-center, though. “H e just happened to get famous right about the time my book was com ing out,” Diam ond says o f the author o f She's Come Undone. The two were students together at Vermont College. N ext in her sights? A com edy about abortion,” D iam ond says with a chuckle. “I think it’s tim e.” S IM P S O N S E S S IO N S : It may take “mutual overlapping friends” and a lot o f phone calls to get a guy like Matt Groening on your local radio show. But Je ff Keufm an is always up for a celebrity challenge. O n Thursday, he will spend an hour chatting to the animated creator o f “T he Sim psons.” Groening’s cartoon, “Life in H ell,” appears weekly in Seven Days. T he show will be taped in advance, ow ing to the three-hour time difference. “W e’ve got some good questions,” says Kaufman, including, “W hy does one o f the characters on ‘The Sim psons’ wear a M iddlebury College T-shirt?” In our recollection, that was a thug in a ski mask who robbed a local bar to pay o ff his student loans. Whatever. Tune in Thursday morning on W FA D in Middlebury, W V M T in Burlington and W S N O in Barre and Montpelier. IN B R IE F : The off-duty assignments are piling up for Burlington Police C h ief A la n a En n is , who may never live down her $80,000 salary. T he top cop has already been roped into a public reading o f “w om en poets from around the globe.” As o f Monday, Ennis still hadn’t chosen a poetess, or a passage, for the Wednesday night gig at the Fletcher Free Library. But “I was an English major, so I’m sure I can find on e,” she says. If not, there is always “Stopping drunk drivers on a snowy evening” . . .

Lawyer, activist and former mayoral candidate SANDY BAIRD just wants women — and democracy — to have a fighting chance BY PAULA ROUTLY eter Clavelle got endorse ments from Patrick Leahy, Sally Conrad, Paul Lafayette, Judy Stephany — even the governor signed on to a “Democrats for Clavelle” ad in support o f the Progressive mayor o f Burlington. But the name o f one high-profile fem i nist was conspicuously absent from the twin rosters o f Democrats and “W om en for Clavelle.” W hen asked to sign on, Burlington attorney Sandy Baird turned down the top city official on account o f his “m is handling” o f a political battle within the now -defunct Burlington W om en’s Council. After two years o f in-fighting, the city council voted to defund the beleaguered organization. Baird faults Clavelle for letting it die. Some call her principled, others call her manipulative, but nobody denies Baird, 58, has been a tireless advocate for w om ens rights in Vermont. A self-taught lawyer w ho w it nessed her own m others batter ing, she spends m ost o f her time representing low -incom e w om en, many o f w hom are caught in abusive relationships. “W ho sympathizes w ith women?” she asks rhetorically. “N obody,” she fires back w ith out a pause. “M y num ber-one loyalty has to be to other w om en. T hat is the only thing that makes sense.” W hat makes less sense — in the eyes o f som e Progressives —

is the criticism Baird has consis tently leveled at like-minded allies. Baird was a “Green” when she took on Peter Clavelle in a mayoral race in 1989. Two years later, she switched parties, and ran as a Democrat for a seat at the State House. During the w om en’s council imbroglio, she took the side o f Director Jennifer Matthews, alienating nearly every Progressive femi nist in town. For police chief, Baird supported hom etown guy Dave D em ag over Alana Ennis. “I am a fem inist,” Baird explains, “but that’s not the only thing I am .” From a partisan point o f view, she is all over the map. But from her own perspective — as “a democrat with a small ‘d’” — Baird is working in the service o f higher ideals. Her empathy for the oppressed, com bined with an almost liber tarian attitude about “freedom,” makes her a very different breed o f liberal — one who makes no apologies for President Clinton, and one w ho spent considerable political capital in the Vermont Legislature to protect the rights o f flag-burners and strippers. “She wasn’t going to shrink away from an issue because it may or may not have been a popular position to take,” says Rep. Sally Fox, who chaired the Judiciary C om m ittee when Baird served in the Legislature from 1992 to 1996. “She’s gritty,” former State Senator Sally Conrad says.

“That is how she has gotten where she is. She is a strong woman, and that is good. We just may not always agree with her.” “Tough” is another word some people use to describe Baird, who typically offers her opinion without mincing words. But she is clearly vulner able when talking about the recent death o f her daughter, who was killed in a brutal domestic assault in Essex last spring. Although the medical examiner ruled it a homicide, and listed “throttling” among the causes o f death, alleged murderer Mark King claims he acted in self-defense. The cruel irony is not lost on Baird, who says losing Caroline has made her “more fierce” about her work for wom en. But, she adds, it has also made her feel more intensely against the death penalty. As is her pattern, she has turned personal tragedy into a political position.

here were no silver spoons in the cupboard at the Baird household. “My whole background was defined, politically, in terms o f class,” she says. Raised with four siblings in a blue-collar section o f Springfield, Massachusetts, she got her first dose o f socialist dogma from her dad, a factory worker who emigrated from Scotland.

Unfortunately, his ideology included a deep-seated hatred o f Catholics. Baird’s mother, a French-Canadian born in Plattsburgh, bore the brunt o f his Old World prejudice. He battered her for years. “He was like a lot o f these working-class guys who have nothing much going on at work and take it out on people at hom e,” Baird says, noting her mother would never have dreamed o f calling the police for protection, or leaving the man she married. Baird herself was never harmed, and points out the sexism in her family existed only between her m oth er and father. But she got a clear message from her upbring ing, that “it was better to be a boy than a girl.” Until puberty, she tried to pass for one. “I just thought boys have more fun. They do — I’m con vinced o f that even now. W omen have all the responsibil ity. W ho needed that shit? W ho needed to be my mother?” Instead o f identifying with her mother, in the role o f vic tim, Baird was drawn to her father, a self-taught worker who was “intensely political, in a drunken, male kind o f way.” A lover o f opera and ideas, he was a third-party man. He voted for Henry Wallace in the presiden tial race between Harry Truman and Tom Dewey, and “almost croaked” when John F. Kennedy, a Catholic, ran on the Democratic ticket.

Baird and her dad disagreed on that one. T hey had different opinions about the Soviet U nion, too. Baird’s father was a huge admirer, which his daugh ter eventually grew to think was “nuts.” But perhaps in a Marxist spirit, she adopted her father’s unique class conscious ness, which can only be described as a pride in poverty. “Working-class doesn’t carry a stigma in Scotland,” she says. “It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be educated, it doesn’t mean you can’t be smart. It meant nothing about you as a person if you were poor. I never incor porated the American idea that it was our fault.” That attitude accompanied Baird to the University o f Massachusetts, where she earned a degree in history while working as a dishwasher in a sorority. It followed her to grad uate school at the University o f W isconsin at Madison, where she m et her husband and, with him , adopted two AfricanAmerican daughters — a bold statement about her com m it ment to “kids who needed hom es.” The family moved to Vermont in 1968, when Baird’s husband, Grant Crichfield, got a position teaching French at the University o f Vermont. The job took them to France for a year, but the eight-year mar riage ended amicably soon thereafter, because Baird wanted “to pursue feminism as a single

person.” That landed her on • meetings in neighborhoods and welfare w ith two little girls. decisions being made from the “Grant was generous,” she says, ground up.” “but there just wasn’t enough to Baird ran as a Green against go around.” Clavelle in that 1989 race.

She stabbed her friend in the back.” Baird defends herself from a labor perspective. “It was repre hensible what they did to Jennifer as a worker,” she says. “The woman was hired, fair and square. Peggy left, fair and square. Then she put herself on the board and refused to leave. She did nothing after that but criticize Jennifer. We got no support anywhere.”

he flap over the wom en’s council, and the personal toll it took all around, demonstrates how far Baird will go to protect her values o f fair ness, justice and civil liberties. Venn and other wom en involved are convinced she is responsible for making the con flict public — a charge Baird denies. She is not by nature a closed-door person. W hen she calls herself a feminist, like Bookchin, Baird means it in humanistic terms, not gender ones. “I think feminism includes, ultimately, everyone,” Bookchin says. “It is not just looking out for w om en.”

Along the same lines, Baird has irked fellow feminists by

more than Dave Demag. Baird is opposed to “politics o f identity,” as she defines the tendency she sees in this town to be intensely loyal to a specif ic group, such as w om en, gays or blacks. “It means you are asking for power for your group, whether they are right or wrongs whether there are better candidates. W hat we really should be looking for is citizen ship o f all people in a great democracy.” Baird is not against political parties however. She would like to see more variations on the theme. Although she calls her self a Democrat, she is con cerned her party may be grow ing too powerful nationally. “They have just crucified the Republicans,” she notes. “I am not a Republican, but I hate that there is no viable opposi tion anymore.” Baird looks to be more interested in debate than solu tions. She opposes the Filene’s project in downtown Burling ton, for example, while admit ting her position may be “right or wrong ... All I can think o f to do right now is just foster discussion,” she says. “I can’t think o f any strategies to change things, except to make people aware o f what is going » on. To that end, she and

T he cycle o f violence skipped a generation. “Relationships should be based on mutual love and affec tion, and if they can’t be like that, there is no sense in having them ,” Baird says. “At some point a wom an has to know this is not the way it should be. I try to convince them o f that when they com e see me. And also with Caroline. I tried to convince her that she was worth more than that, and that she should have an escape plan.” W hy is it so difficult for w om en to get out o f abusive relationships? “T hey usually love these jerks,” says Baird, w ho knew her daughter was liv ing w ith a dangerous guy. “W om en stay because they love people, because they hope for the best for their kids, because they want to keep their families together — all those reasons. T he question is not w hy do they stay, but w hy do men abuse them?” To cope w ith her loss, Baird keeps busy. Appropriately, she is also reading prosecutor Chris Darden’s book about the O.J. trial. “If you can’t figure out these forms, call m e M onday,” she tells a client in the unassuming M ain Street office she shares w ith the National Abortion Rights A ction League. “H e’s already been ordered to pay — tw ice,” she explains firmly. “T he next step is to pick up his body and put him in jail.” Sensing hesitation on the part o f her client, Baird models the behavior the young w om an will

local and national issues, including Iraq and the Burling ton Waterfront. Baird is also part o f another new organiza tion, C ity W om en, which does virtually the same thing with wom en’s issues. Being mayor no longer holds interest for the outspoken advo cate. Her political goals are fur ther-reaching now. “M y changes w ould all be directed at making this country more o f a republic than it is: O ne, I would like to see the abolition o f capital punishment. Two, I would like to see more coopera tion w ith the U .N . Three, I w ould like to see the embargoes on Cuba and Iraq lifted. Four, I w ould like to see America become more law-abiding, less violent and more respectful o f w om en and poor people.” Her last point, o f course, strikes closest to hom e. Despite her own lifelong efforts to help wom en get themselves out o f bad relationships, she was not

it immediatelyj-vthe Edith Piaf and Louis Armstrong on the sound system, the light pouring in from the windows, and the attractive menus inscribed with a quote attributed to Orson Welles: “Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what’s for lunch.” My daughter liked watching a muskrat lumbering up the ice-covered rocks outside. Our meal included a cream o f portabella soup ($3.25), a portabella burger ($4.75), a B.L. sandwich (“Hold theT ,” my tomato-hating daughter instructed the waitress), and a “Ploughman’s Lunch” o f gener ous slices o f pheasant and pork pate, Camembert and fresh goat cheese, cornichons and pickled onions — a bargain at $ 5 .75 . We had Coke, iced tea and a glass o f Cote du Rhone, plus two desserts. Service was effi cient, helpful and informed. The bill was about $34. There is no children’s menu at the Mist Grill, and I wanted to sing a few hosannas myself when Steve Schimoler told me he doesn’t think children should suffer culinary condescension. “N o one’s said ‘You should have chicken fingers, ”’ he told us, to which my daughter promptly responded: “You should have chicken fingers.” Nevertheless, she wolfed down her “B.L.” and even enjoyed the “frilly lettuce” and roast potatoes that came with it. She balked at the apple pie, how ever — and so did we grownups when we tasted it. The pie had an off taste, as if it had too much brandy and not enough sugar, but we were assured there was no alcohol used in the baking. A waitress surmised that it was the pure brand o f vanilla extract used. At any rate, no one ate it. The gingerbread with lemon curd was more to everyone’s lik ing: a light-colored, dry-textured, spicy and thoroughly delicious cake with a lovely, warm lemon sauce. The restaurant, which opened February 1, holds great promise as the five owners put into practice their ideas about special events to educate patrons about fine food and wine. They seem to have the energy and wit to carry out their “mission” — to serve as “the living room o f the community.” The Mist Grill is a place to try for all its offerings: as a bak ery and coffee bar, a morning hangout, a lunch spot, a Sunday supper club, and a “Distinctive Dinners” fine dining establish ment.

And they have fashioned an establishment that could serve almost any occasion: a breakfast with buddies, a busi ness lunch, a romantic dinner. The building, with views o f both the picturesque millrace and Interstate 89, was in use as a mill until 1938, when it became a branch office for the E.W. Bailey feed company o f Montpelier. This closed in the early ’60s, and the building sat idle for many years. Last year the Mist Grill team undertook renovation o f the space — used sporadically since 1992 by vari ous artisans — and transformed it into a bakery, coffee roastery and restaurant. On the lower level, the restaurant opens out onto a stream and was designed to highlight the mill’s stone walls. The beams that once held a two-ton grindstone are now benches; the former corn crib serves as the top o f the coffee bar.

Off the Road I Again ! By Erik Esck ilse n t must say som ething about the healthy state o f free speech in this country that Death o f a Salesman is still being staged — from Broadway to Burlington — 50 years after its debut. Sure, loads o f plays have been revived over the years, but few offer such an incisive critique o f the American Dream as the script playwright Arthur Miller cooked up in prosper ous, post-war Connecticut. Unsparing in its portrait o f an Everyman traveling salesman run down by what Miller described as “the brutality o f the system,” Death o f a Salesman enjoys the elite status reserved for works whose mes sage, though as bitter as strong

medicine, refuses to grow stale. It’s a modern classic, i period. | T he enduring appeal o f the ; play doesn’t make it a surething production, however. Miller’s script is a masterwork, but the em otions and issues in which it trades are intense and complex. T he University o f Vermont’s current staging o f the play, helm ed by guest director D ede Corvinus, does justice to the work, deftly nav igating its troubled waters with two professional guest actors, a solid supporting cast and a set design linked to the original Salesman production.

call in Boston. Shambling from the shadows, valises in hand, he’s clearly shaken by the breakdown he knows is more mental than automotive. Plunking down on the bed next to wife Linda, he’s full o f depressing thoughts about where life has led him . Thirtyodd years o f road sales and he still finds him self so cashstrapped that his devoted wife must darn the holes in her stockings. H ow can this be? And what has become o f his sons, once the apples o f his eye, now the itinerant B iff and the wom anizing Happy? W illy’s breakdown proves a wake-up call o f sorts. But he quickly shows him self willing to pretend that this latest set back is minor, that all will be right as rain after a cheese sandwich and a good night’s rest. And therein lies W illy’s tragic flaw: the impulse to lie to him self when things don’t meet his expectations. As Willy, Charles Stransky handles this material with great skill. W ith credits that include Broadway productions o f Glengarry Glenn Ross and The Front Page as well as numerous Film and T V roles, he resembles a shorter, pudgier Sam Waterston. Lumbering about with weary clumsiness, he moves seamlessly between states o f defeat, self-deception and outright delusion. It’s a

volatile role, this man who damns the things that frustrate him one m om ent, offers praise the next, then retracts into his own self-made myth. W illy can be pathetic, pugilistic and worthy o f our compassion in the span o f a few short m om ents, and Stransky hits these beats squarely. Linda, played by Melissa Lourie, is equally, though dif ferently, burdened. Her long, sympathetic glances and ready backrub for W illy tell a tale o f hardship all her own. Unlike Willy, she bears her burden in silence. After all, she is his “foundation,” as he says. Lourie’s Linda is no June Cleaver, however. The miles W illy has covered show in her wiry gray hair, tired eyes and thin, frail-looking frame. Eager to encourage her men folk, she withdraws just as quickly when stifled by her grouchy husband, occupying herself in some domestic chore, as if to take her mind o ff the trials o f their crowded urban existence. But she can fight when backed into a cor ner. As W illy’s advocate, she asserts herself to her disre spectful sons with a force they have never before witnessed. The effect is no less riveting to watch. W hile Death o f a Salesman is credited with introducing the now -iconic tragic Amer

ican hero, the play also chris tens the dysfunctional Atn%4L ican family drama. The

smaller role than Willy, is; the more challenging, for Phelps must dramatize loyalties divid-

designed by U V M professor Jeff Modereger, formerly a stu dent o f Jo Mielziner, who coincidentally was the scenery designer for Salesmans 1949 debut. Lacking walls, the house Modereger built allows the actors to move freely from room to room; B iff and H appy ascend a staircase to their bedroom loft, where their beds are exposed to the audience. Roughly the same am ount o f space, cut in roughly the same shape, extends from the elevated set into an em pty space suggest ing the yard. T he design works to create a snug interior where characters cannot escape each other, and an open exterior space in w hich they move about more freely. T he con trast confines and releases the action to engaging effect. W h y Death o f a Salesman is so relevant in the present day is both a lofty question — fodder for academics---- and a m undane one, a mirror held to the life o f the theater-goer: W here do you see yourself in all o f this? It’s a credit to this production that the question resounds so strongly from the first act through intermission, the second act, the walk hom e and into work on M onday morning. If only W illy Loman could have had such direction. (7)

Thirtv-odd vears of road sales and hs s m u iim a himself so cash-strapped that his devoted wife must darn the holes in her i stockings. How can this be? Lomans’ paltry lot in life hinges on regrets, lies — some big, some small — and a dark family secret. Greg Phelps plays the truth-teller’s role in his turn as eldest son B iff Loman. Audience members o f last fall’s prison-drama Getting O ut will remember Phelps as the livewire scumbag ex-boyfriend who threatens to keep an ex convict from turning her life around. As Biff, he channels that nervous energy into the confidence o f a high school football star. Bouncing on the balls o f his feet, he merely awaits his father’s command to take the world by storm. In some respects, Biff, though a

ed between family and family myth. Phelps is strong as this conflicted black sheep, and the chemistry he finds with Stransky is the richest among the cast. B iff and W illy are believable idols for each other, and when those heroic myths are stripped away, Phelps and Stransky work equally well as m ightily estranged son and father. A uniformly strong supporting cast, including W illiam R. Rogers as the proto-cubicle m onkey H appy Loman, buttress the fiery dra matic work from scene to scene.

By David Healy hat casual athlete has n’t dreamed o f being in the Olympics? W hen all is said and done, not even bribery, bombs or rampant nationalism can extinguish the spirit o f the Games. Since 1968, when I watched Jean-Claude Killy capture three gold medals in Grenoble, I’ve fantasized about walking in the opening ceremonies, watching the torch-lighting and hearing the O lym pic theme song play. Unfortunately, what stands between me and that fantasy is one vexing little reality: N o fewer than a couple thousand people can beat me down a ski hill — and that’s probably m y best sport. For some, though, the O lym pic dream never quite dies — and is a lot more likely to happen. “I think it w ould be

great,” admits Keith W ood ward, half grinning at the possi bility o f basking in the O lym pic glow. And like the cagey veteran competitor that he is, Woodward thinks he may have found his ticket to Salt Lake in 2002. After all, the Craftsbury resident recently took the bronze medal in the U.S. National Ski-Archery Championships, and he’d been introduced to the sport just three weeks earlier. True, the iron-lunged Woodward has a huge head start over the casual cross-country skier who may have once shot a bow and arrow at summer camp. An accomplished runner with numerous victories in the grueling M ount Washington climb and a 2:29 Boston marathon to his name, the unas suming 48-year-old grew up hunting the land near his fami ly’s dairy farm in East Corinth.

Something o f a nordic ski bum, Woodward has since arranged his life around his endorphin addiction: H e’s spent the past 20 winters at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, where he grooms the ski trails before logging countless hours o f training. W hile the sports center has played host over the years to its share o f Olym pic rowers and cross-country skiers, bowed biathletes aren’t exactly a com m on sight. “I don’t know anyone else who does it,” admits W ood ward. “It’s a pretty obscure sport.” But N ew Hampshire-based Marcia Wyman, an archery instructor and one o f the dri ving forces behind “ski-arc” in N ew England, prefers to reflect on the sport’s past and its prospects. “We like to call it ‘the father o f biathlon,’” she says, taking the historical

approach. “People were hunting and defending themselves with bows and arrows long before there were guns.” Like biathlon, which com bines skiing with rifle target shooting, ski-archery tests, in the same com petition, racers’ endurance as well as their precision. Male racers ski three 4kilometer loops, firing four arrows with each pass by the range. The challenge is to ski like the wind and then stand

at the World Masters’ CrossCountry Championships in Switzerland. Instead, he tried one o f W yman’s ski-arc clinics in Plainfield, Encouraged by the clinic, he purchased rudimentary bow and arrow sets w it h in eye toward com peting in the nationals. W oodward spent the first week figuring out whether he shot better right- or lefthanded, and then getting reacquainted with the mechanics o f

steady as an oak while you take aim at a 6 -inch target som e 18 meters away. Unlike downhill winter mountain-bike racing, or any one o f a dozen sports invented for the benefit o f the X-games, ski-archery has deep historic roots. In 1206, Norwegian war riors skied 55 kilometers through a snowy night while whisking the baby Prince Haakon to safety. The palace guards made the trip with bows on their backs and birch bark bound to their legs for warmth — a feat memorialized by today’s aptly named, though quiver-less, Birkebiener ski races. In recognition o f its place in history, ski-archery was accept ed as a demonstration sport at the 1994 W inter Olym pics in Lillehammer, Norway. N ow boom ing in popularitiy in Scandinavia, Italy and France as well as the old Eastern bloc countries — 16 nations from the former Soviet U nion have national ski-arc teams — sup porters plan to petition the International O lym pic C om mittee for the sport’s inclusion in the 2002 W inter Games. “We see it going all the way to the O lym pics,” Wyman asserts, envisioning a day when a talented ski-archer medals in target archery in the Summer Games, then ski-arcs to an unprecedented double in a related winter event. The Olym pics weren’t really on his mind when W oodward, now pushing 50, tried skiarchery as a diversion in midJanuary. A snowstorm forced him to cancel plans for a cross country race in Q uebec — he’s one o f the top Masters’ skiers anywhere, and raced last v^eek

the discipline. A successful rifle biathlete, he’s a perennial w in ner o f the U.S. run-and-shoot championships and recently placed fifth in the winter World Team tryouts. So Woodward was well acquainted with a dra conian rule o f the sport: Miss a target and ski a costly penalty lap. # .. At the U.S. Ski-Archery Cham pionships in Carrabassett, M aine, last m onth Woodward found his mark only a quarter o f the time, which forced him to ski a total o f nine 400-yard penalty loops at about 1:15 each. T he winner, a young buck from W isconsin, hit eight o f 12 arrows, but beat his elder, slightly balding competitor by just 45 seconds. “I’d only been doing the sport for three weeks and I hit three targets,” Woodward says, chuckling at the thought. “If I’d had an extra week, maybe I w ould have hit four and won the thing.” Like others, W oodward expects ski-archery to grow, though certainly not at the same rate as snowboarding or m ountain biking/ two recent additions to the O lym pic games. That may be just as well for Woodward. “This might be my last chance,” he says o f a potential O lym pic appearance. “It’s a w ide-open sport right now for anyone w ho’s a good skier.” Alas, the door doesn’t seem quite wide enough for an alpiner like me. If only the IO C , in its infinite and impartial wis dom , w ould extend a welcome to m y personal triathlon — telemark skiing, windsurfing and an all-you-can-eat pizza contest — m y O lym pic dream m ight finally become reality. ©

FINAL FRONTIER i.s a big week for dub in Burlington, culminating with the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry. With a rock-steady stream of creative recordings — as artist or pro ducer — since the 7 0 s , the Scratch man is considered genius by some, lunatic by oth ers. Whatever, his stylee is must-see, with or without the influence of extraterrestrials. The space-rasta takes dub to the outer limits at Higher Ground this Saturday.

GR A TEFU L LA K E Who knew that eating ice cream could be saving terns? If your choice of Ben Sc Jerry’s is Phish Food, a portion of what you pay for that cone or pint goes to the WaterWheel Foundation, established by Phish in 1997 to manage the band’s philanthropic activities — call it phishanthropy. Its first three grants, totaling $78,000, are headed for organizations which pro tect and preserve Lake Champlain. It works like this: All the roy alties due Phish from sales of the ice cream and related merch, plus a portion of B&J’s profits from same, are dedicated to the almost-great lake — the sixth-largest in the U.S. — and its water shed. The initial trio of winners: the Lake Champlain Land Trust (who will use their grant to purchase Rock Island, a nesting site for the endangered Common Tern), UVM’s Ecosystem Science Laboratory, and the Lake Champlain Committee. For more info about WaterWheel, e-mail waterwheel@phish.com. DO GOOD D EPT. If you still haven’t heard, or heard of, turntablism, here’s a chance to get in the groove — and benefit the real alternative, WRUV (90.1), UVM ’s eclectic student-run station. With the hour-long Battle Sounds, New York architect/filmmaker John CarllJCCiO documents the roots and evolution o f the most creative deejays going. Post-showing this Wednesday at Higher Ground, turntablist B-Wyse demonstrates his scratch-n-whiz technique, along with RUV’s own vinyl virtuosos. SING LE TRACKS Boy, that Vassal* Clements gets around; recently in Vermont gigging with The Jalapeno Bros., he returns this Friday with The Hillbilly Funk Allstars, which also feature former members o f Little Feat and Ja zz is Dead . . . The wave’s about to swell for local surfmeister Bill MullinS: His band, Barbacoa, will soon appear on a Del-Fi compilation disc, called Surf Monsters. Look for it in Ma y . . . If the name Chris Titchner and Sunday Rain Dog rings a bell, that’s because Titchner was the lead singer of former Three Mile Limit. He brings his new sonic partner, cel list Ana Jesse, to Borders this Sunday . . . On the air this week: JusagrOOVe chanteuse Rebecca Simone guests on “Burlington & Beyond” (WWPV 88.7 FM) this Friday; Cry Cry Cry (see review) show up Sunday morning for Tim Downey’s “Crossroads” on 104.7 The Point; and Montreal’s Spackle does a live interview on the eve o f their U.S. tour, Sunday night on 99.9 The Buzz “Homebrew” . . . Jazz trumpeter Lester Bowie returns to Vergennes next week for another school-oriented residency, and this time he’s bringing gospel/r&b great Fontella Bass. Residents get a chance to meet the pair at a pot-luck reception at the Opera House this Monday, and hear them fn concert the following Saturday . . . ® B a n d n a m e o f th e w e e k :

A BRAND NEW BAG Vermont’s got a red-hot godmother of soul: Tammy Fletcher. I knew that, you’re probably thinking. What else is new?Tammy Fletcher Sings with Soul Power, that’s what. The big, brass-laden band, which debuted to a full house Saturday night at Montpelier’s Emerald City, is a collaboration between Fletcher, former players from the defunct Mr. Dooley and others: Don Glasgo on trombone, Tommy Steele and Zach Townison on sax, Glendan Engalls and Tom Morse on trumpet, Joey Davidian on keyboard, William Noel on percussion, Bim Edson on drums, Chris Power and “the leader of leaders, who called this thing together, Seth Fontaine on guitar,” says Fletcher. “It turned out to be a fantastic show, a massive healing,” she notes, despite only five practices with the full band. “I’ve always wanted a situation with a lot o f horns and you get funky, and people gyrating. I almost couldn’t sing, there was so much energy.” The band hopes “this James Brown tribute kind of thing” will turn into an all-original thing. Next gig? March 18 at the Rusty Nail. Get on the good foot. f

CRY CRY CRY, W /DAR W ILLIA M S , LU C Y K A P L A N S K Y & RICH ARD S H IN D E LL (Razor & T ie, CD) — It was a happy day for fans o f contemporary folk music when three of its best and brightest — Dar Williams, Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell — decided to team up as a trio. Cry Cry Cry is its beautifully melancholic result, and there’s nary a throw-away among these dozen tracks. The album’s intro is one of its best: REM’s “Fall On M e,” featuring Williams on lead vocals. When Shindell’s com pelling baritone takes over, the gals contribute lush background vocals, giving every song a glis tening surface. There’s a lot o f deliciously shiv ery material here, such as Kaplansky’s cover o f the Ron Sexsmith ballad, “Speaking With the Angel,” Greg Brown’s post-modern down-home ditty, “Lord I Have Made You a Place,” led by Williams, Shindell’s rendition o f the moribund “Memphis,” penned by Cliff Eberhardt, and Shindell’s own “The Ballad of Mary Magdalen,” sung here by Williams. There’s rumbling grit-folk stuff, too, especially Shindell’s minor-chord Appalachian classic, “Shades of Gray,” by Robert Earl Keen. Leslie Smith’s “Northern Cross” is interpreted here in threepart a cappella, enhancing the stark quality o f the song and proving these singers don’t even need the excellent instru mentalists amassed for most o f these songs (special kudos to Larry Campbell, who contributes guitar, mandolin and fid dle). Cry Cry Cry, not surprisingly, focuses on tear-jerker material, but “Down By the Water,” an uptempo miningtown tune, provides temporary relief. Razor Sc Tie was gener ous with its liner notes — a fat booklet containing the lyrics to every song. Bring it to the “Cry Cry Cry” concert this Saturday at Burlington’s Unitarian Church — a benefit for the Peace & Justice Center. I’m sure they won’t mind if you sing along. — Pamela Polston E N E M Y S Q U A D , UNITED STATE OF...MIND (Tufamerica Records, CD) — Enemy Squad are a Detroit-based funk out fit with metal overtones — “grunge funk,” one reviewer called them — and on their new release, United State of...M ind, they do often flavor the funk with ’70sstyle guitar pyrotechnics. ESquad are led by drummer/vocalist/producer/princi pal songwriter Gabe “da’ Undi$co Kidd” Gonzalez, who has played with George Clinton and the PFunk All Stars for the past several years. The slow, seismic P-Funk beat is evi dent on tracks like “Return o f the Swamp Thang,” but the metallic scribbles that main guitarists Maurice “Pirahnahead” Herd and Duminie “Doom” DePorres lay on top are edgier than anything in the Parliament-Funkadelic spectrum. Gonzalez’ production is a bit thuddy and flat at times, and not quite up to the standards set by Clinton, but the musi cianship and energy are all there and all that. Rounding out the live lineup is the massive double bass attack o f Joe Heyden and Dan “Blackman” Harris, and on turntables, DJ Lynn Swan. Though there is a hip-hop feel to some o f the later tracks, the turntable work is understated; there’s much more singing than rapping, and it sounds like real drums on every track. The disc starts out pretty hard with “Welcome to the Millennium” and “Trick Chick Jane,” which have almost as much to do with the Chili Peps or Led Zeps as P-Funk. Later, on the excellent instrumental “Love War,” groove rather than guitar dominates, and continues as the album progresses. The title track and “We’re on Sum Other Shit” ar< much more on the funk tip, complete with dead-on, Clintonesque vocals on the latter. United State of. ..M in d closes strong, too, with the slow psychedelia o f “Jupiter” and the party rock o f “Flip the Script.” Live E-Squad will undoubtedly blow up the joint — Gonzalez wears a fencing mask partly as protection from drumstick schrapnel. So if you like your funk with extra spunk, check out Enemy Squat at Higher Ground this Sunday. — Paul Gibson

I’m inter ested in representing spirit and matter, in the com m uni cation or connection between the tw o.” T he way spirit and matter interact is vividly suggested in the way Sweetland “pushes paint around,” as she puts if. Her use o f light has always been a strong suit, points out State H ouse curator David Schiitz, but in the new works she uses it to even greater effect because there is so much black. “There’s a dark ness to many o f the paint ings,” he observes, “but the life they have, the vibrancy, the light com es out even more strongly as a result o f that contrast.” Schiitz agrees i that the silver lining to last summer’s disaster for this artist is “very exciting” new work. T he personal growth is exciting for Sweetland, too. “It’s been such an incredible year,” she says, “between the flood and this incredible rela tionship” — she’s in a long distance romance with Canadian musician Bruce Cockburn, w ho lives in Toronto.

(R) A N A LYZE THIS * * * 172 Harold Ramis has a knack for memo rable, smarter-than-average come dies, and this looks like it might make his hit list one longer. Billy Crystal plays a suburban shrink. Robert Dc Niro co-stars as his ; newest patient, a powerful mob boss. With Lisa Kudrow. (R) C EN TR AL S T A T I O N * ** 172 Fernanda Montenegro stars in this award-wining film about the friendship between a boy whose mother has been murdered and the teacher who delivers him to his father in a distant corner of Brazil.

Paul Schrader’s bigscreen version o f Russell Banks best-selling book features searing performances from Nick Nolte and James Coburn as a father and son locked in the vicious cycle of male violence.

(R) BLAST FROM T H E P A S T ** * Hollywood loves to make movies about characters who suddenly pop into the modern world and experience life as we know it for the first time (Forever Young, City o f Angels, Meet Joe Black), even if it isn’t always thrilled with the business they do at the box office. The latest variation on the theme stars Brendan Fraser as a young man raised in a bomb shelter and shown around above ground by Alicia Silverstone.

CAR BATTERY EXPLODES ON START-UP

future pyrotechnics, can you tell us how to avoid blowing ourselves up along; with our car batteries? • — Ray

Dear Tom and Ray: Several months ago I was hav ing some difficulty with my car ’ battery. It was not holding a charge, so I had the bright idea o f putting a trickle charger on it and charging it up overnight so that I could get my ’84 Prelude running and drive it down to the shop for a battery check. The next morning, I started the car with the charger still attached and I blew up the battery. Fourteen pounds o f sodium bicar bonate later, I had the battery acid neutralized and I called a tow truck. So that I and others ca avoid

TOM: Yes. The best way to avoid blowing yourself up is by calling AAA and letting them risk blow ing themselves up trying to start your car. That's worth 40 bucks a year, isn't it? RAY: In your case, Ray, I'd have to guess that your battery was out-gassing. It probably over charged on the trickle charger, which caused it to produce hydrogen, and when you started it the next morning, something created a spark, and recreated the Hindenburg disaster in your dri veway. TOM: If I had to guess, I'd say

the spark was probably caused by a loose connection at the battery terminal, which may have also caused your original battery prob lem. RAY: Just be glad you were in the car, rather than standing in front of the battery. TOM: In general, batteries explode because of the conver gence of hydrogen and sparks. So you want to do everything you can to avoid both of those. RAY: Hydrogen is harder to avoid, because you can't see it, smell it or hear it. My brother likes to detect it by lighting a large Havana cigar, but that, in part, explains the unusual appear ance of his facial features. TOM: Batteries that have been over-charged are the most likely to emit hydrogen, but because batteries that are faulty in other ways can also out-gas, you have to assume that there is hydrogen in the area of your battery. That's

the safest thing to do. RAY: That's why you concentrate on preventing sparks. You do that by being careful with the jumper cables. Don't let them dangle around and bounce into each other or bounce off parts of the engine while you're hooking them up. Connect them carefully, in the order prescribed by the instructions. TOM: And the instructions on almost every set of jumper cables we've ever seen tell you not to make the final connection to a battery terminal. Since that's the last connection— completing the circuit— you increase the chance of a spark jumping from the jumper cable end to the terminal. So instead, make the final con nection to a grounded, solid metal piece of the engine— away from the battery. RAY: And another precaution is to stay away from the battery when you're actually starting the

car. After hooking up the jumper cables, most people stand around and watch the engine to see if it starts. This is dumb. You'll hear it start. Trust me. You're safer inside your car. TOM: O f course, you're safer still if you're watching AAA do the whole thing from your living room window while politely ask ing them, "You guys done yet?"

sulted on this topic turned out to be flaming, uh, sphinc ters. We’d heard that Preparation H was a favorite trick of models — along with Vaseline to make your teeth shine brighter, surgical tape to create more cleavage, and body glue to keep your straps from falling down and your swim suit from riding up. But when my assistant Jane called a modeling agency to inquire, the rhymes-with-rich who answered the phone huffed that the Prep H rumor had been around for years and that it was merely a joke made at the expense of models and actresses. Sorry, lady, thought Jane. Sounds like you could stand a little Preparation H yourself. Jane wanted to experiment on her own person, but rarely gets puffy eyes. However, she is a resourceful woman. From her report: “OK. Dick was out playing volleyball, the cats were fed, the phones were unplugged, the bath was drawn, and I started thinking. I thought about the phone call I’ll get someday saying, ‘Daddy died.’ I thought about how the nuns demeaned me as a child. I thought about all my other problems. And I bawled and bawled and bawled, hot tears splashing everywhere. “OK, out of the tub. Boy, was my face blotchy and puffy. Hah! I gingerly patted some Preparation H around my eyes. Let me tell you, this is not a pleasant-smelling product for one’s dainty little face. I looked hard at myself in the mirror, then five minutes later, and then in another five minutes, and another five, etc. Each time I saw the same thing looking back at me: not just puffy eyes, but puffy, shiny eyes. I felt like...” Well, like a three-letter word for a donkey, but this struck me as an unfortunate choice of terms. Anyway, the stuff didn’t work. A spokesperson for Whitehall-Robins, maker of Preparation H, informed us that the product “helps shrink hemorrhoidal tissue and is not meant for the area around the eyes. There is no clinical evidence to support that it reduces eye pufFmess.” She said they get this question less frequently than they used to, perhaps because Prep H has been reformulated. One of the ingredients that supposedly

reduced pufFmess was “live yeast cell,” but this is no longer part of the recipe. Actually, it’s debatable whether anything will help puffy eyes, which result from fluid retention caused by allergies, stress, etc. The ingredient in Preparation H that supposedly reduces swelling is phenylephrine HC1, which is used in nasal decongestants to constrict blood vessels. However, according to Paula Begoun, author of The Beauty Bible, Preparation H doesn’t work where it’s supposed to work, so what are the chances it’ll work in the minimal concentra tions you’d use on your eyes? Jane emphatically concurs, and Cecil politely assumes these women know whereof they speak. • So what does work? Paula’s tips: (1) Sleep with your head slightly elevated to minimize fluid retention. (2) Avoid booze and salty foods, which can cause water reten tion. (3) If you have allergies, take antihistamines and don’t rub your eyes. (4) Remove any makeup carefully to avoid getting particles in your eyes. (3) To avoid dryness that can lead to irritation and pufFmess, use a moisturizer. If noth ing works and this is a chronic condition, cosmetic surgery may be your only recourse. Why do some bottles o f wine and champagne have coneshaped bottoms? — Scottsman3, via AOL The indented bottom, called a punt, is useful in the tra ditional method of making sparkling wines, known as rid dling, or remuage. The botdes are placed in special racks with the top of one nestled into the punt of the next, then gradually tipped upside down. This causes sediment to settle into the neck of the bottle, from which its eventually removed. In still (nonsparkling) wines, the punt serves the same purpose as the indented bottoms of tavern beer steins — it makes you think you’re getting a lot more than you are. CECIL ADAMS ®

QUARIUS

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): My -< s>

spies report that you’ve been com pulsively bellowing your personal anthem off-key. And that you’ve been using your symbol o f whole ness as a battering ram. And that you’ve ignored your dreams’ sug gestions until they turned into a list of demands. Keep this up and you’ll soon be a candidate to run away and join a millennial cult. Oh, well. I’m your cheerleader, not your policeman. If you insist on slithering down the path to culthood, may I suggest my favorite, the Rich Socialist Libertarian Pagans for Lascivious Feminism?

TAURUS

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): What do you look for in a god or goddess, Gemini? It’s the perfect moment for you to define exactly the kind o f divine presence you’d most like to have pouring down on you (or should I say erupting up inside you?) on a regular basis. Write your description on a piece of paper, then put it under your pillow for nine consecutive nights. As you drop off to sleep, silently call out with all your heart to the deity you’ve envisioned. Within two weeks, I predict the two of

you will enjoy a communion you will always remember.

CANCER

(Apr. 20-May 20): Scientists at the Cosmic Yo Yo Institute o f Perpetual Surprise have announced the discovery of a secret, eighth day of the week. It’s called Funday, and though evi dence is still too scant to deter mine its exact location, the researchers speculate that it often hides between Thursday and Friday. I bring this up, Taurus, because although you’re usually too hypnotized by the clock to even hope to sense the presence of this extra 24 hours, there is now a brief window of opportunity for you to break your trance and dive into the missing time. While you’re at it, be alert for other covert luxuries and buffer zones that may only be visible out of the corners o f your eyes.

SEVEN DAYS

h '} : '-.v/-.

(June 21-July 22): If you were a cow, it would be prime time to move on to new grazing lands. If you were a monogamy buff, you’d now have temporary permission to let your eyes wander far and wide to find out what you’re missing — and what you’re not. If you were a journalist, it’d be a perfect moment to stop forcing the rag ing ambiguity of real life into neatly packaged news-bites. If you were an immortal god-like being who had impulsively taken on a human form as an experiment only to have forgotten your ori gins, you’d be on the verge of remembering the truth.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Warning: Truth decay is now in progress. Do you have the guts to rip the cover off the coverup? Are you willing to be on the clean-up crew after the fecal matter hits the rotary-bladed breeze-blowing device? If not, I completely understand. Accept the fact that deceit will triumph, and go your way in peace. But if you’re too agitated to simply swallow the loss, by all means organize your facts and compose your expos — now. Don’t procrastinate. By next week the fraud will be more entrenched and difficult to prove. Just one caveat, though: Make sure you’re not driven by a per sonal vendetta. That would dam age the beautiful truth you want to protect and defend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Will you accept the cosmic invita tion to solve the riddle that could lead to more lyrical acts of inti macy? Are you willing to go any where, ask any question, and

make a damn fool of yourself in order to coax your most impor tant relationships into living up to their juiciest potentials? Are you prepared to believe that it’s possi ble for you to induce a dream of finding ripe strawberries growing in the desert?

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As skilled as you are at standing back and making astute observations, I urge you to forego this pleasure for now so that you may plunge in and make the kind of loud sweaty grunts that come with total commitment. Forget about your graceful talent for tactful compromise, in other words, and start a graceful riot in behalf of the side that your favorite god is on. Witty, evasive action, no. Hard-nosed gut-checks, yes. Be the mover and shaker with a thousand nuts and bolts, not the big-talking hero with a thousand theories.

21): A friend of mine witnessed a group of Turkish Sufis doing a rit ual dance which had never before been performed for the public. She was riveted by their disci plined yet ecstatic whirling. Imagine her dismay, then, when she briefly roused herself from her trance halfway through the show to find that more than a third of the audience had walked out. How to explain it? She decided the dance had exuded too much gorgeous sanctity and unsenti mental benevolence; it simply overloaded the circuits of the irony-addicted materialists in the crowd. I hope you’re not like those jaded moles, Scorpio, because then you’ll fail to take advantage of the shocking beauty that will flood your world this week.

19): My chair and desk are made of environmentally certified tim ber. The kwila tropical hardwood was harvested in Papua New Guinea by a small-scale, sustain ably managed, community-run forestry project. The paper I’m using to jot down these words is composed of 100 percent tree-free kenaf plant paper, and the ink in my pen is soy-based. I’m sipping organic green tea, and every item of clothing I’m wearing is made of organic hemp. Oddly enough, however, I’m feeling a strange urge to advise you to seek out experiences involving beluga malossol caviar, Dom Perignon cham pagne, embroidered silk sheets and stretch limousines. It must have something to do with the fact that Venus and Jupiter are conspiring to activate your deep est needs for luxurious elegance.

22Dec. 21): You Sagittarians are famous for feeling right at home as you wander afar. Indeed, many of you can’t fully be yourselves unless you regularly escape your familiar haunts. And yet even you, the cheerful rambler, now and then fall victim to feelings of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. During these times, in contrast to your usual ability to regard the whole world as your neighborhood, you can’t find your power spot anywhere and no one seems capable of appreciating the special gifts you have to give. If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, this is exactly the state you’ve been in lately. Fortunately, exile reawakens a longing for your rightful place — and an instinct for hunting it down. (Storyteller Michael Meade taught me that.) That’s why I’m quite confident you’ll be coming home soon.

(Jan 20'eb. 18): While driving my en-year-old daughter joe to a restaurant, I told her about a mystical break through I’d had. “I awoke in the middle of the night,” I rhap sodized, “and I swear I heard the Goddess singing my name.” I went on to describe the amazing revelations that followed. When I was finished, Zoe waited a respectful 10-seconds, then said, “Daddy, does Round Table make pizza with artichokes on it?” I’m telling you this tale, Aquarius, because I believe that this week you should maintain an attitude similar to Zoe’s. Keep your atten tion very practically focused on what’ll nourish you in the here and now.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As a director, Clint Eastwood never starts scenes by barking “Action!” He prefers to ease into the performance by getting the camera rolling before everyone’s on full alert. That way, he feels, he disposes of the number-one enemy of good acting — and, I might add, a major obstacle to good life — which is self-con sciousness. I suggest you adapt a similar approach, Pisces, as you launch a brave new chapter in your life story. Nothing is more important right now than conjur ing up more spontaneity than you dreamed you were capable of. ®
