T questio

What's your definition of spring cleaning? Tigger sporting a fullbody dust rag! — Tina Hayward Graduate student, Concordia University Franklin Letting go of ail the unnecessary stuff that clutters up our lives. — Jane Agran Owner, Simply Organized Richmond

WHY SO FEW SCHOLAR DOLLARS? I enjoyed Kevin Kelleys article explaining why Vermont ranks last in higher education funding ["Last in the Class," February 13] but wonder why of the five states shown in your illustration, four are in the Northeast. Is there a geographical reason for our poor job of funding our schools? — Larry A. Cain South Burlington (Ed. note: The article did briefly mention one theory: that New England's "abundance of esteemed private colleges in this part of the country" provides a reason for legislatures to avoid more generously supporting state universities.) D O N ' T EMBRACE CAR CULTURE I just read a piece in your paper on the big-box development in Williston gone bad ["That's Sprawl, Folks," February 20]. In the piece, Donald Kreis refers to New Urbanist Denise Plater-Zyberk. Although I agree with the author that New Urbanism is overly nostalgic, I do not agree that we should build buildings that embrace the car culture, especially when there is already an organic town center a couple miles down the road. And by the way, her name is Elizabeth PlaterZyberk. — KenForton Montpelier

RAPE OF CHITTENDEN COUNTY? At last, you are paying some attention to the ongoing architectural rape (to call it what it really is) of Chittenden County, represented by Maple Tree Place ["That's Sprawl, Folks," February 20]. You have made a good start by unmasking one of the perpetrators, but please don't stop there. For one idea, what about an article on the role of the Governor-Presidential candidate who has brutally refashioned (both openly and behind the scenes) Vermont's regulatory agencies and boards precisely in order to maximize "sprawl" (the polite term) during his Decade of Destruction? Your recent article seemed to suggest that Maple Tree Place at least passed the by-now-emasculated standards of Act 250's Criterion 8 on aesthetics. But weren't we hearing a while back that Environmental Board members themselves had somehow picked up on the fact that some of the construction at Maple Tree Place was even more horrendous-looking than the permit allowed? Maybe Seven Days could find out what the Board has done, if anything, and let us know. P.S. A search turned up an Environmental Board hearing on Maple Tree Place scheduled for May 1. Does this have to do with permit violations, or is it perhaps some routine expansion of the original permit?

KIDS IN ARMORIES Peter Freyne and the members of the State Senate he quoted in his February 20 column [Inside Track] are wrong. In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, I think it makes sense to limit civilian access to armories, even though my personal opinion is that the National Guard would rather see civilians continue to use the facilities. Senator Gossens doesn't think an armory is a legitimate terrorist target? I disagree. If I was a terrorist, I'd view armories as potential low-risk, high-payoff targets. They're generally not secure, but they are military facilities, and they're an integral part of many communities. If armories are unsecured, and if a terrorist group plans carefully, it can conduct attacks on them that might result in maximum impact and media exposure with minimal chance for terrorist casualties. Peter Freyne has the nerve to call full-time Guard members who might be moved from Camp Johnson to the armory in Burlington "desk jockeys?" What gall! Those full-time members of the Guard perform the vital function of ensuring the readiness of the Guard's equipment and part-time soldiers, so that if a Guard unit is mobilized, it's prepared to deploy rapidly and complete any mission. If Peter Freyne is denigrating the important contributions the fulltime Guard workforce makes to our communities, I can only conclude that his electricity wasn't restored, thanks to a Guardsman, after the

1998 ice storm, that he's never seen the Guard rescue anyone from a flood, that he's not aWare the Vermont Air Guard constantly protects our skies, and that he doesn't know the Guard was an integral part of America's success during Desert Storm. That's just a little of the recent history I must assume escapes him — in one form or another, the Guard's service to local communities and contributions to the nation's defense go back to the founding of the American colonies in the 1600s. Senator Leddy thinks the threat of units being decertified is "laughable?" From my personal experience in another state, I'm confident that it's not. Lack of facilities is precisely the problem that could cause a unit to lose federal recognition, leaving loyal Guard members to exit the military, begin drilling with new units further from their communities, or assume positions for which they're unqualified. Lack of facilities is difficult to fix if it becomes an issue, because of the time and cost involved in producing something that meets federal standards. The senators Freyne quofed want

The Freed Factor Unfortunately, Republican House Speaker Walter Freed is not showing any signs of leadership development in his second year at the helm. Without going over the details of last year's sordid record, suffice it to say the Freedmeister was less than impressive as a rookie. This year, our favorite Dorset millionaire continues to refuse requests for an interview. A profile in courage Mr. Freed is not. Walter, you see, has happily claimed the title of Big Tobaccos best friend under the golden dome. He's adamantly opposed to raising the cigarette tax, the lowest in New England. It's his number-one cause. And yes, he's a puffer. Last week, we're sorry to report, Freed sank to a new low. The House was taking up a bill aligning Vermont's income tax system with that of the feds. Republican Rep. Malcolm Severance and Democrat Rep. Maureen Dakin, both of Colchester, offered an amendment calling for a 67-cent hike in the state cigarette tax. The revenue is desperately needed to fill huge holes in programs for low-income and disabled Vermonters.

Gov. Howard Dean and the Democrat leadership support an increase in the cigarette tax. The Vermont Senate would approve it in the wink of an eye, but tax bills must start in the House, Freed's House. In anticipation of Wally pulling a fast one, we asked Dean ahead of time if he considered it kosher to attach the cigarette tax hike to the income-tax bill as an amendment. "A revenue-raising measure is clearly germane to a revenue-raising bill," replied the Guv. Clearly. But guess what? The next day, Speaker Smoky refused to allow the House to debate the Severance/Dakin amendment. Freed hastily ruled that the amendment was "not germane" to the tax bill on the floor. Jaws dropped. If Speaker Freed could muster a little backbone, we'd ask him just how many convenience store/gas stations he owns that sell cigarettes. In fact, we did submit that question in writing to his secretary, but, as expected, got no response. So we asked the Guv if he thought the Speaker had a little conflict of interest problem on tobacco. "The rules of the House," replied Dean, a former House member, "call for each individual member to make that judgment about themselves and decide whether they're going to vote or not. And that certainly applies to the Speaker as well as everybody else." Stay tuned.

sold her own Hill section hacienda on Harrington Terrace "for more than the asking price," she informed readers proudly. More money for cat food, eh? She chronicled her years of dealing with "broken beer bottles," "driveways slick with vomit" and "the expletive-studded ravings" of intoxicated college students. Salomon complained so regularly to Burlington Police, she wrote, she earned the title "Wicked Witch of Harrington Terrace." Hey, if the shoe fits... In the opinion of the Wicked Witch and others, UVM president-to-be Fogel must take it like a man and sleep with the student noisemakers. Rubbish. What ever happened to hospitality and respect? The dude hasn't even arrived yet and the self-appointed welcoming squad is treating him like their prisoner. Telling other people how to live and where to live is not exactly a Vermont tradition. Anybody want to guess where Jim Carey, president of The Burlington Free Press, lives? Try Underhill. Shocking.

Where's Howard Dean? — Let's see, if it's Wednesday, Gov. Howard Dean is in Rio de Janeiro. Ho-Ho is south of the equator leading a trade delegation sponsored by the Burlington-based Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce (LCRCC) and the Vermont World Trade Office. Along with Wayne Roberts, Nancy Wood and Tim Shea from the LCRCC, five Vermont business people went. Busy guy, that governor of ours. But Dr. Dean did drop by Vermont briefly last week for what turne<. out to be a very lively session with the local press. First, the Guv got slapped around a little — especially by Ch. 22s tenacious political reporter Keith Baldi — for recently taking a $5000 political contribution from the chairman of the board of Vermont Yankee. The sale of the state's nuke is the hot topic facing the quasi-judicial Public Service Board (PSB). ' Ho-Ho feigned indignation that anyone would think he had the PSB in his pocket, or that he could possibly be swayed by a $5000 contribution to his new PAC, The Fund for a Healthy America. Ironically, this week, while Ho-Ho's off in the Southern Hemisphere, we get the official word from Dean appointee Christine Salembier, the commissioner of the Department of Public Service, that the Dean administration wholeheartedly supports the proposed sale of Vermont's nuke. What a surprise! Dean was also asked if he thinks Vice-President ' Dick Cheney should come clean and cough up the names of the corporate big shots and lobbyists his energy task force met with as the Bush administration put together its brilliant energy policy last year. The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking the records. Congressional Democrats are having a field day. O n first blush, it sounded like a softball question for Dean to hit out of the park.

Y PETER FREYNE

Vermont Hospitality? — Shameful is the only way to describe the rude reception being given to the newly chosen president of the University of Vermont, Dan Fogel. Dan the Man hasn't even arrived yet, but the holier-than-thou crowd is already smugly condemning him because he doesn't want to be forced to live in company housing. The last straw came Sunday when The Burlington Free Press put Debbie Salomon, its recently retired food columnist, on the editorial page. It was a scathing down-her-nose chewing-out of Fogel for seeking living accommodations other than the Englesby House, the traditional presidential residence. The op-ed piece featured a huge photo of the Debster in front of Englesby looking like Scarlett O'Hara in front of Tara. Englesby, wrote Salomon, "is my dream house." Great, then you move in. God forbid the new president, who's coming all the way from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, might actually want to live in the Vermont countryside instead of along fraternity row. Ms. Salomon, prolific feeder of College Street pigeons, and chef for the world's fattest cats, just

Surprise, surprise. Instead of playing ball, Ho-Ho played stupid. "The honest truth," said Dean, "is that I don't know what the federal law says, so I can't answer the question." Classic Howard Dean. Whenever he prefers not to give a straight answer concerning a bill, report, study or newspaper article, he feigns similar ignorance. "I haven't read it," is his standard response. And how can anyone expect a person to comment on something they haven't read? Reminded the Democratic leadership'in Washington is united in demanding Cheney come clean, Dr. Dean stuck to his ignorance-is-the-bestpolicy defense. "I didn't say I support or oppose" the

I Curses, Foiled Again A thief crashed his car through the front doors of the High Plains National Bank in Wiggins, Colorado, then tried to rob an automated teller machine in the entryway. Police said the thief pried open the ATM, but fled empty-handed because the machine was so new that it had no cash and hadn't even been plugged in yet. • British police quickly identified Robert William Bate, 22, as one of three men who broke into a London home. The homeowner, who interrupted the men, reported that one of them had no legs and had to be carried away by an accomplice. The description led police to Bate, who admitted taking part in the attempted burglary but avoided jail time by promising the court that he was giving up his life of crime.

Raging Ways Police in Lowell, Massachusetts, charged Karen Morgan, 38, with attacking Alice Tooks, 51, because Tooks had 13 items in a grocery store checkout lane with a 12-item limit. Tooks said that after Morgan complained and swore at her, she was walking home when a car pulled up with Morgan in the passenger seat. The two women exchanged

• A jury in Galveston, Texas, convicted Thomas Ray Mitchell, 54, of shooting his girlfriend because he thought she was about to say "New Jersey." Defense attorney Maria Luisa Mercado said that Mitchell suffers from several psychiatric conditions that include a violent reaction to the words "New Jersey," "Wisconsin," "Snickers" and "Mars." During the trial, Mitchell covered his ears when he thought the words were about to be spoken, and witnesses used flashcards with the words written on them to avoid speaking them. • When Anita Peggins ordered 10 junior bacon cheeseburgers and a chicken sandwich at a Wendy's drive-through in Franklin County, Virginia, she started to pull away but stopped after noticing that she hadn't

of his glove compartment and held it up. "I said, 'Do you want to get shot?'" Webster admitted at his trial, where he was fined and ordered to turn over his gun. He was also placed on administrative leave from his job as Franklin County's director of public safety. • Karaoke bars in the Philippines have been removing Frank Sinatras hit song "My Way" from play lists because so many fights have inexplicably erupted when the song is sung. In a Feb. 18 incident, police arrested a 21-year-old student who reportedly ambushed two men outside a Manila karaoke parlor after they sarcastically applauded his off-key rendition. One man died from gunshot wounds, and the other was injured.

Cheese Central

After identifying the owner of the first car as Ronald J. Popadich, 39, investigators confronted him and said that he confessed to the shooting and the pedestrian attacks. • Sheriff's deputies in Pasco County, Florida, arrested Barry Colbert, 38, for letting his 7year-old son take the family car for a drive while he sat next to him. The boy ran a stop sign and hit another car. Colbert explained that he let the firstgrader drive as a reward for being good. Deputies reported that they smelled alcohol on Colbert and discovered that his license was suspended. "I'm not irresponsible," he insisted. "I just had a few beers."

The National Center for Research Resources, part of the National Institutes of Health, announced the grand opening of the Rat Resource and Research Center at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Center spokesperson Joyce McDonald described the facility, which is funded by a $6.7 million grant, as a place where researchers can buy a variety of inbred, hybrid and genetically modified lab rats that private companies do not offer. Two of the models in stock, for instance, are a rat whose brain has been chemically damaged to simulate human Parkinson's disease and rats bred to become obese on normal diets.

Chicken Little Was Right

Bumper Cars After shooting a woman in New Jersey, a man drove to New York City, where he plowed his car into 19 pedestrians in Manhattan during a 20block hit-and-run spree. He then abandoned the car and disappeared into a crowded subway station. Two days later, the suspect hijacked a car at gunpoint, returned to the city and ran down seven more pedestrians. Police said the driver sped away, then abandoned his car and again ran into a subway station.

After a Los Angeles police patrol car arrived at a downtown office building to investigate an alarm, the officers were startled when Robert Tompkins, 29, landed on the hood of their vehicle, having parachuted from the 36-story building. They said that Tompkins, who was uninjured, was apparently a thrillseeker who had broken into the building.

he girl I had picked up in front of Dunkin' Donuts had a small ring in her | lower lip. You would think I I would be used to piercings by - now, but I'm not. I'm still slight| ly unnerved, and I suppose that's at least part of the intent of the ! pierced ones — that is, to shock I the older generation. I noticed she was wearing baggy, blue | nylon pants, which struck me as . a hip-hop gesture not exactly * practical for a frigid Vermont I night. She had sad brown eyes i that seemed to continuousl ly wander, never stopping 1 to focus on any one thing. I She certainly hadn't met my gaze when I turned in my seat and asked her destination and she mumbled "West Oak Hill Road." "That's 16 bucks," I said and, raising the volume, added, "you do got the money, right?" "Don't worry about that, dude, I got the money." So I took off, but this dude was worried. My intuition is rarely wrong. I'm not speaking about mental white noise, but rather that clear voice telling you what's up. I've found I ignore that voice at my peril. So, as I came upon a red light at Dorset Street, I instructed myself to speak up and get the dough. But I didn't. I looked up in the rear-view mirror into the face of a harried, sweet, teen-age girl, and I didn't want to insult her by casting doubt on her integrity. I'm a sucker for teen-age girls; they bring out my fatherly side and I want to take care of them. Intuition be damned. We took the right at Taft Corner, and a mile past WalMart came upon the left for West Oak Hill Road. My customer hadn't said a word since we began. For my part, I kept focused on the late-night Olympic coverage playing on the radio. I'm not particularly riveted by the Olympics, but I needed something to distract my mind, which was repeating over and over like a scratched LP: Jernigan, explain to me again why you haven't yet gotten the money from this girl? She's young, she's

probably stoned, and it's a long ride out to West Oak Hill Road in Williston. It's a busy night, too busy to risk getting stiffed and wasting a half-hour. We passed a sprawling trailer park on the left, and the girl let me know that her place was coming up on the right, a quaint old farmhouse with a half-dozen cars parked in front. It looked like the property owner had divided the house into a number of individual apartments — another architectural casualty of the local shortage in rental housing.

"I'm sorry," I said to my nowdumbstruck customer in the rear. "You can find a cab downtown who will take the credit card, but I'm not giving you this ride for free." "Hey, man, chill, will ya? Stop at a bank, I think I can get money out of an ATM." "Fine, I'll stop at the Howard at Taft Corner." I had but the slimmest hope that Plan B was going to work, and was loathe to blow any more time. Still, I figured I might as well try to salvage this fiasco. I stopped in front of the ATM alcove, and the girl walked in. I sat and listened to the women's luge semi-finals.

As I eased into the driveway, my customer was fishing around in her purse, and finally pulled out a piece of plastic. "Here you go," she said. "You take Visa, right?" Bingo, I thought — I freaking knew it! I promise, this is the last time, absolutely the last time I fail to heed my intuition. The problem is, I take that pledge about once a month. "No, I sure don't take Visa," I replied. "I think the fleet companies take credit cards, but most of us independents don't. Look, when you got in I asked you point-blank whether you had the money, and you said you did." "Well, what's the difference? Everybody takes Visa, and that's all I got." "Could ya get the money from one of your housemates?" "Hey, here's the Visa; take it or leave it, dude." In a flash, I was back out the driveway, speeding back to town.

She came out too soon, and walked around to my window to give me the news. Surprise, surprise — she had forgotten her PIN number. Without uttering a word — I knew I couldn't be less than vituperative — I raised my window and took off, leaving her standing in front of the bank. I drove 100 yards down the road, spun back around and returned to the scene of the crime. The girl was standing there, still stunned — probably at both my departure and my return.

I said, "I'm not going to leave you freezing out here in the cold. You want a ride up to a pay phone?" "Don't do me any favors. I'm walking up to the Mobil." She turned and headed towards the all-night gas station on the corner. Driving back to Burlington on the Interstate, I was infuriated — not at the girl but at myself. I've been at this long enough to recognize when I've executed some sub-standard cab driving. I saw this one coming a mile away and did nothing. And then, when my folly was predictably revealed, I should have just let her get out at the house. Instead, I played out a lame version of taxi justice. By the time I got off at the cloverleaf I was over it. Plain and simple, the ability to let go of stuff like this has come with age. But if I said it was the result of some great insight, I'd be lying through my teeth. (Z)

POLAR OPPOSITES? Sir Ernest Shackleton made history on a failed but heroic Antarctic voyage. His grandnephew, Charlie Shackleton, makes high-end furniture in Woodstock. "It's completely and utterly flabbergasting," the surviving Shackleton says of renewed interest in the man who maneuvered a ship loaded with men through a two-year ice jam. "If you attached the word 'furniture' every time they say 'Shackleton,' I'd be in heaven." Shackleton's brother — the "family historian" — was onto the story of his rugged relative long before the novelists, filmmakers and journalists came sniffing around. But Shackleton notes, "No one would listen until about five years ago." That's when a writer named Caroline Alexander found, compiled and annotated a collection of stunning photographs that survived the aborted trip to the South Pole. The Museum of Natural History mounted a corresponding exhibition in New York. A documentary was inevitable, and New Hampshire-based filmmaker George Butler rose to the occasion with The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition. He found moral support — and some funding — from the chief executive of the online job service Monster.com. Andrew McKelvey followed up last month by treating friends and clients to an all-expenses-paid trip to Antarctica. By virtue of his connection, Charlie got an invite on the 12-day cruise that included a foray to Elephant Island, where the original expedition made camp. "I was incredibly busy. I had a woodworking conference. I didn't think I could make it," Shackleton recalls. "George called back and said, 'You are completely crazy.'" So the 43-year-old father of two signed on. He assures, "As long as you could get in and out of a boat, and a helicopter, and were capable of eating a lot of wonderful food, you were okay." That's a far cry from the recruitment notice for the original icy odyssey. Men wantedfor hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of... Woodworking in Vermont is hardly as perilous, but Charlie Shackleton and his wife Miranda Thomas run a tight ship in Bridgewater, designing and manufacturing handmade furnishings with a crew of 36. He's also a member of the Vermont Furniture Makers Guild that is working together to promote quality woodworking around the state. Look for his "contemporary classic" upholstered chair in the current group show at Church & Maple Gallery in Burlington. MURDER TWO: Middlebury author Ron Powers weighs in on the Zantop killings and other grisly murders perpetrated by Vermont teenagers in a lengthy article on the "evolution of the murderous American adolescent" in the current issue of Atlantic Monthly. But nearly half the story is devoted to the insights of Burlington resident Theo Padnos, who taught English to inmates at a correctional facility in Woodstock. He offers quotes such as, "I admire my students... I just think of them as passionate, thoughtful, lucid, well-informed, literate, morally sophisticated, homicidal all-American kids." His charges included convicted teenage mother-killer Laird Stanard, whose story is the subject of a book Padnos is writing. In the meantime, Padnos and Powers are making the media rounds as partners in crime prevention. Last week the duo was interviewed by "60 Minutes." Padnos is also working on a piece for Rolling Stone . . . It's a killer concept: Rough Landing on a Soft Cranium, the latest from Burlington playwright Steve Goldberg, is about a female talk-radio shrink who gets a convicted murderer out of prison. It should be second nature for Pamela Formica, who is a therapist by day But her costar, Jordan Gullikson, is not an ex-con — "as far as I know," Goldberg offers. Rough Landing, which opens next Wednesday at Club Metronome, is number "18 or 19" for Goldberg, who writes, produces, directs and markets at least one play per year. On request, he's also written a screenplay for Rutland filmmaker David Giancola about a bad cop in New York City. The project got delayed after September 11, but is scheduled to start shooting this fall. IN BRIEF: Selene Colburn s choreographic career is moving right along. The St. Johnsbury resident — and granddaughter of renowned Vermont artist Francis Colburn — is one of five New England dancemakers heading for the prestigious Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven this June. Seasoned New York choreographer Ralph Lemon made the selections for the Dancing Nor'easters program of the festival — a process that kicked off with a screening of 54 videos. Lemon narrowed it down to eight, and after auditions, chose five. Colburn made the c u t . . . Maybe they're "projecting," but Vermont filmmakers Jay Craven and Bess O'Brien firmly believe that making movies is good for kids. Five years ago, the couple launched the summer Fledgling Films Institute for aspiring cinema artists. Next month, April 12 and 13, they are hosting a full-fledged Fledgling Film Festival at Burlington City Hall — 50 youth-made documentaries, dramas and animated shorts over a day and a half. "We believe in the era of media bombardment. It's good for kids to see something made by their peers," O'Brien suggests. "And it's good for adults to see what teens are thinking about." CD

eaching people to operate motor vehicles is more a mission than an occupation for Leslie Roussin Thayer. At the Safer Highways Driving School in her native Milton, she's one four instructors — three of whom are owners, including Thayer. She's passionate about helping people of all ages — but especially teens — learn to drive. Open since last March, the business boasts its very own drag strip adjacent to the square, onestory building that houses several classrooms and an office. Non-commercial driving students are trained on a Honda Accord or Chevrolet Malibu, both of which are automatic and equipped with passenger-side brakes for emergencies. The class curriculum was developed by the state. Thayer and her colleagues can offer the exam, but only the Department of Motor Vehicles issues the license. Americas pervasive auto-culture should adhere to a gospel &f good driving, as far as the 33-yearold Thayer is concerned. A bookkeeper and tax preparer before committing to the car cause, she has an almost evangelical gleam in her eyes when discussing the issue of road readiness.

SEVEN DAYS: Why did you switch from numbers to automobiles? LESLIE ROUSSIN THAYER: Well, I always wanted to be a teacher since childhood, but there was a pivotal time in 1998 when Vermont lost five teen-agers to drunk-driving accidents. Per capita, we then became one of the highest-ranking states for alcohol and fatal collisions. For me, this was a chance to save lives.

SD: How can you make a difference? Those people already know how to drive, but they're impaired. LRT: My mother, Regina Roussin, is an internationally certified drug and alcohol counselor, so I grew up with that. She passed on to me her knack for dealing with teens. They are a challenge. You tell them, "Just say no," and they roll their eyes. I believe I've got the ability to reach them. I provide a box of Kleenex because I hurt them to the quick.

SEVEN DAYS ...

march 6, 2002 - " ""

SD: You do? LRT: I have them interview their parents: "How would you feel if I was killed in a drunk-driving accident?" In the quotes from those interviews, a lot of times it says "gasping, crying" to describe how the parents responded. It's very emotional. When the parents talk honestly about grief, it makes the kids focus more on the fact that they have a choice... They also watch a video of teens seeing a brain scan that shows how it responds to alcohol, or going to a medical examiner, who'll put out a couple of livers and say, "This is what happens to somebody when they drink."

SD: Don't most teens take driver's ed in high school? LRT: Schools are having a difficult time accommodating them all. There are waiting lists, all over Vermont. But it might be that their parents want them to get a summer job, so they'll need to use the car and can't wait until they get to the top of the list.

SD: How many of your clients are in that age group? LRT: About 60 percent. I only teach car driving. Joe Yantz is our school-bus guru. Joe, Richard Fetterman and David LaFlam all handle the tractor-trailer students — and now some of the teens.

ple want to be so meticulous. I had a 68-year-old Chinese gentleman who could stop on a dime, but his decision-making was terrible. He could park perfectly. At a four-way stop, though, he had trouble with who should go first.

SD: Are there differences between teaching teens and adults? Or between women and men? LRT: Kids pick things up quickly and think driving is their rite of passage. Adults require more practice and are appreciative that you've given them a freedom. Teens are fearless; adults are careful. Women sometimes need more positive feedback and nurturing. Men are more willing to try things. Few women feel Comfortable with flooring it and racing down our drag strip. Older people can be much more cautious. They tend to overreact.

SD: How long does it take, and what's the cost? LRT: For adults, it is six hours in class and six behind the wheel for $400. Teens get 30 hours in the classroom, six behind the wheel and another six observing from the back seat while another kid drives. That's $475. One-on-one instruction is $50 tin hour, usually on the road as a refresher. To get a license, you have to practice 40 additional hours.

SD: What adults come to you?

SD: Have you had any near disasters?

LRT: People who never learned to drive. Some who let their licenses lapse and need to refresh their skills. I've had about 16 "Lost Boys" of the Sudan, who only knew how to get around on bicycles. They were very quick studies. There also have been people from Romania, China, India, Poland.

LRT: Once, during a parallel park, the student was backing in. He went to hit the brakes to slow the vehicle down but hit the gas instead. We jumped the curb and started across somebody's lawn. The best I can do in a situation like that is stop the momentum. Another time, a girl tried to merge onto the Interstate without looking over her shoulder. A big tractor-trailer coming along tooted at us. That startled her and she veered to the right. That was probably a lesson she'll never forget... I use an acronym when I teach: S M O G .

SD: Is it very difficult for immigrants with no driving experience? LRT: We take certain things for granted, like locking a car door or unwinding a window. To them, it's all new. I have to make sure they realize its not necessary to push the pedal to the metal. And they often say "Yeah" to show me they understand something, when they truly don't. I've got to ask them to repeat what they just heard. Foreign peo-

SD: SMOG? LRT: Signal. Mirror. Over-the-shoulder. Go.

Weekly Mail

Support country, rockabilly, swing, bluegrass, old-time and "insurgent alt-country." They probably wouldn't unless plenty of fans of real, heartfelt music came out to support them. Have you ever seen any of these bands? Like The Billionaires, who absolutely tear the roof off Western swing, or The Starline Rhythm Boys and their ultra-roots rockabilly trio vibe? How about The Cleary Brothers' deep-traditional bluegrass and old-time tunes, the eclectic country-honk/grassy-tonk of The Red Headed Strangers, or the indefinable Construction Joe, who meld soaringly plaintive vocal harmonies with grunge-banjo jams, blistering Telecasters, fuzzcello solos and country/alt-rock arias... Oh, yeah, and Chrome Cowboys. That's my band. Come down to Red Square March 15 th, introduce yourself, and tell me to my face that the songs we play and sing about — you know, drinking, cheating, fighting, fucking, loving, longing and killing — aren't country songs. C'mon, I'll buy you a beer. Then again, maybe you're the one that won't touch real country music with a 10-foot pole. — Brett Hughes Winooski

continued from page 4 a youth programs and other activities back in the armories? I think the Guard does, too. Certainly, if I had my way, the Windsor armory would continue to be used by the local fire department, the Northfield armory would be open again to the local summer theater program, the Winooski armory would be open for elections and use by the local youth group, etc. I think everyone agrees that civilian use of these buildings results in heightened good will and improved community awareness of the Guard and its role. Civilian use of armories also gives the Guard exposure to potential recruits. In other words, civilian use of armories has benefits to both the community and the National Guard. But I'm also sure the security concerns expressed by General Rainville are real. That being the case, isn't it better to err on the side of caution, at least for the present? I'm an avid reader of Seven Days, especially Peter Freyne's Inside Track. But this time, Freyne is incorrect, as are the senators he quoted. — Bill McKern Barre

DRAG IS A BALL The Plastic Family and I had such a good time at the drag ball, and I really want to thank the fabulous Burlington community. I don't just mean the LGBTQ, but everyone, together — whatever kind of "freaks" we are. I used to lovingly call Burlington "The Land of the Misfit Toys." That's what I love about Burlington. And, oh, child, the costumes some of you guys were up in! Lordy! Special kudos to Moretti, Don Eggert, Donald Ingram (who organized the thang) and, of course, the one and only Sisters Lemay. You are all so dear to me. Thank you, Burlington.

Bill McKern is a full-time Captain in the National Guard. This letter represents personal, not professional, opinions. A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY? I suppose someone needs to address the perceived dearth of country music in "Burlington proper" [Skeeter Sanders] wrote about in his letter to the editor [Weekly Mail, February 19], but first it may be of some help to make a distinction between what is, and what, perhaps arguably, is not country. Now, i f W O K O be the arbiter of what you consider to be country music, I'd be inclined to agree that there isn't much of that kind of music offered locally — the pedestrian, blown-dry, corporate pop pablum that is "today's hot New Country." It has so forsaken its roots and gotten so far removed from the soul and vitality of the real thing it is barely distinguishable from a generic sort of Adult Contemporary format with the occasional — and mostly incidental — fiddle or pedal steel thrown in... Today's Nashville country is bottom-line music. Remember that when Chet Atkins was asked what the definition of the "Nashville Sound" was, he simply jingled the money in his pockets... And as such it isn't surprising that WOKO and its ilk are top dogs in the local radio market... Maybe you're just a real format kind of person — as in, you fit the demographic that WOKO is catering to, and I mean catering to in the sense of sucking up to the most mainstream audience in order to garner high ratings and therefore maximize advertising revenues. But maybe you're actually someone who might be inclined to search out music that has a firm and exuberant hold on what country can be at its best — soulful, exciting, funny, emotional, eclectic and inspired. A number of local bands play regularly in local clubs, which all regularly promote and

Burlington writers and readers recommem words to life fay BY SUSAN GREEN

illiam Wordsworth, a poet whose very name implies a reverence for language, began an 1807 sonnet with this grace note: "Dreams ; books, are each a world." Now, 195 years later, books still play a crucial role in dreams for a peaceful, just, happy, prosperous world. Perhaps that's what Chicago Mayor Richard Daley had in mind six months ago when he urged all his constituents to focus on the same classic, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird\ "to cultivate a culture of reading and discussion." It was an initiative designed to persuade the public, so distracted by flashing television images, that a much deeper satisfaction lies in the power of the written word. The Windy City's gambit, which included organized events and a Web site, soon spread to dozens of other towns. Rochester chose A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest Gaines. An ad hoc committee in New York City is still hotly debating whether to go with James McBride's The Color of Water or Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker. Burlington officials briefly considered the idea as well. "Last summer, I heard about the Chicago effort and sent an informal e-mail to department heads, asking what they thought about doing it here," recalls Brendan Keleher, the city's chief administrative officer. "I only got a few responses. I remember some of them mentioned Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison." Conceding he's "not much of a fiction reader," Keleher would vote for Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety, about the changing friendship of two academic couples who, for almost 40 years, spend every summer in Vermont. Daley launched a high-profile promotion in his Illinois metropolis, but the Queen City's resources are already stretched to the breaking point. Mayor Peter Clavelle did not think government-sanctioned bibliomania would be practical, according to his assistant Bill Mitchell. The bureaucracy had spoken. The populace might envision it differently, however. A range of local writers, librarians, booksellers, teachers and literacy workers agreed to speculate about which books would resonate with residents of the states largest municipality. They were asked to consider literature, preferably novels and biographies, as acces-

sible as To Kill a Mockingbird, with a similarly universal or even life-affirming message. Their recommendations are diverse, and often quirky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much like the inhabitants of this book-lovin' burg.

choosing a book for the city might lead to a tale everyone simply enjoys. But he believes a preferable result would be "perhaps gleaning some important lesson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lessons about racism, getting along, thinking about what you might do with your life." Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, the journal of a trek to the Himalayas, is "an amazing travel story that reads like fiction," Resnik observes. "It's about transformation, finding your place in the world." Like a good librarian, Resnik has multiple recommendations: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, with its futuristic plot about a totalitarian society. "It's kind of a call to pay attention," he says. He also admires Huckleberry Finn, a Mark Twain masterpiece that sends a troubled white adolescent and an escaped slave paddling down the Mississ-ippi River, because it "can be read on so many different levels." A different Twain concoction, in this case a time-travel adventure in Camelot, would be an inspired choice in the view of Deb Barnun, owner of Bygone Books. "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court covers all the bases," she says, adding that Ernest Hemingway's hardscrabble The Old Man and the Sea would come in second. Water also flows through V.S. Naipul's A Bend in the River. The locale is Africa, "soon after the colonial powers have left," reports poet and St. Michael's College professor John Engels, author of the coincidentally titled Sinking Creek. "This is a wonderful book. I'm rereading it right now," he says of Bend. Another Engels pick is The Thurber Carnival. Engels calls the collection of essays, short stories, sketches and cartoons by wry humorist James Thurber "one of the funniest books around. Like Twain's work, the deeper you go, the darker it gets." He also cites Main Street, the Sinclair Lewis satire about an idealistic city girl who goes up against the narrow-minded conformity of a Minnesota town in 1920. Engels notes that this and other novels by Lewis "defined America to itself for the first time.

avid Huddle, a University of Vermont English professor whose La Tour Dreams of the Wolf Girl recently received a rave review in The New York Times,joints out that "it's hard for me to find something uplifting because I'm a very cynical person." Nevertheless, he immediately thought of The Meadow, James Galvin's 100-year history of a mountain ranch on the Colorado-Wyoming border. "I remember the book with great pleasure," says Huddle. The rural tranquility of a small Vermont town is shattered in Witness, a free-verse novel by Karen Hesse of Brattleboro that's part mystery, part social commentary. The story takes place in the 1920s, as the Ku Klux Klan begins infiltrating New England. Two children, one AfricanAmerican and the other Jewish, pay the price. "It's an easy, fast read that's wonderful for the people I work with," says Carmine Sargent, a teacher at Vermont Adult Learning. "There's also a great cast of characters." Eric Rickstad, author of Reap, casts his ballot for a fellow Green Mountain State scribe. " The World According to Garp, by John Irving, is entertaining and has a Jot to say," he suggests, summing up the tragicomedy about a writer who lives in fear of the symbolic "Under Toad" that can snatch the people around him at any moment. Rickstad also thinks highly of Annie Proulx's Postcards, a brittle drama about the members of a splintered, sorrowful Vermont farm family, and Native Son, the Richard Wright chronicle of a young man doomed by poverty, bigotry and violence. Tolerance is key to Margaret Craven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name, a favorite of former Burlington Free Press reporter Maggie Maurice, who belongs to a book discussion group that's been meeting for a decade.

Vermonters tend to recommend epics. John Steinbeck's 77?? Grapes of Wrath has a classic sweep, according to Louis Giancola, an English-as-a-second-language teacher with Vermont Adult Learning. "It deals with the challenges and struggles for having a better life," he says of the Joad family's sad journey from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to the lush orchards of California during the Depression years. The Great Gatsby features a bleaker narrative about a nouveau riche bootlegger in the Roaring '20s desperate to infiltrate the shallow upper-class lifestyle of the w o m a n he's always loved. "F. Scott Fitzgerald uses beautiful prose to reveal the corruption of the American dream," muses Giancola, who's also attracted to a slim French volume about a boy from an asteroid who knows that "it is only with the heart that we can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Beloved by adults, illustrator Antoine de SaintExupery's 1943 cult children's fantasy has a timeless quality. " The Little Prince is p r o f o u n d , " Giancola adds. A young boy with appalling problems is the subject of A Child Called "It. " T h e first segment of Dave Pelzer's true-life trilogy concerns child abuse. "It just really touched me," explains Melinda Hood, a bookseller at Borders Books & Music. "Sometimes people think they have it bad, but reading this might make them realize others are much worse off." The autobiographical tomes of North Bennington writer Jamaica Kincaid inspire comparable empathy for Burlington author Philip Baruth. "I'd also propose How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, by Julia Alvarez," he says, referring to the Middlebury College professor's book about the cultural assimilation of

four Dominican sisters in Miami. Baruth, a U V M English prof and Vermont Public Radio commentator whose most recent novel is The Dream of the White Village, is also a fan of Dorothy Canfield Fisher's The Brimming Cup, in which a Manhattan man tries to lure a gifted pianist from her Vermont hamlet. "Its about living life to the fullest," he surmises, "and beyond." Northeast Kingdom communities full of "oddities, individuality, romance and reality" are at the center of Howard Frank Mosher's novels, prompting a vigorous nod from local spookmeister Joe Citro, author of several books including The Vermont Ghost Guide, and also a commentator on VPR. A celebrated wordsmith who teaches at U V M , T. Alan Broughton has Mosher's Where the Rivers Run North — a combination whodunit, courtroom drama, farce and sociological study — on the tip of his tongue. "Howards got all those crazy French-Canadians running around. I also like The Natural, by Bernard Malamud," he says of the late Bennington College professor's fable about baseball, manhood and redemption. Broughton brought the bookfor-Burlington game to the family dinner table. H e and his wife Laurie thought of A Long and Happy Life, the Reynolds Price yarn about troubled North Carolina lovers. Broughton's 16year-old son Nathaniel came up with Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, the tragedy of an itinerant ranch hand whose developmentally disabled friend kills a woman by accident. Moby Dick examines the primeval forces of nature that keep Captain Ahab consumed by the desire for revenge. Verve Editions publisher Gary Chassman feels that Herman Melville's whale of a tale "incor-

porates so many of the important life issues, such as discovering in oneself the difference between good and evil." H e stresses that, to qualify as great literature, any book touted by Burlington "should transcend time and place." Baruth wonders, though, if our "postmodern fragmentation" will make people shy away from a book with universal themes because "you don't think it speaks to your own experience." That dilemma is dogging the Big Apple, where feisty proponents of Native Speaker, a first novel about a conflict within the Korean community, are battling those who support The Color of Water, a memoir by a Brooklyn man with a black father and Jewish mother. The improbable goal for the five-borough melting pot is to reach consensus on a book that's both sensitive to ethnic minorities and interesting for all ages from high school on up, while still meeting a high literary standard. In a New York Times article about the brouhaha, an academic from Yale University denounced the whole process as "a mass reading bee" that turns what is essentially a private encounter into a gigantic civics lesson. Essayist Philip Lopate worried that it resembles an Invasion of the Bodysnatchers-\\ke exercise in "groupthink." Up here in the northern climes, perhaps there's a less contentious path to unity. "Let there be spaces in your togetherness," advised Kahlil Gibran in The Prophet. Elizabeth Orr, proprietor of the Everyday Bookshop, serenely nominates the Lebanese philosopher's 1923 collection of wise aphorisms emanating from a mysterious oracle who wanders the land. T h e land of Down East is intriguing to journalist and C o m m u n i t y College of Vermont instructor Deborah Straw, who assigns The Country of the Pointed Firs in one of her courses. Published in 1896, the Sarah O r n e Jewitt novella "is a journal of character sketches from a small town in Maine" that depicts a kinder, gentler time. Ditto for Wendell Berry's The Memory of Old Jack, a sort of spiritual mediation on an elderly Kentucky farmer. "Both of my suggested books demonstrate strong community ties and a close connection to nature," Straw says. "We all need those things now more than ever." ®

he 92-year-old woman has just been helped to the bathroom, and her middleaged nurse is alone with a shortskirted, sharp-lapelled young lawyer, who can't hide her contempt for frailty and decay. We're all dying from the moment we start living, the nurse chides. "Do you know you're dying?" she asks. "Yes," the lawyer protests, unconvincingly. "Then grow up," the nurse commands. It's a tall order, so to speak. But facing mortality is what Edward Albee demands of the characters in his 1990 play, Three Tall Women, which won a Pulitzer Prize. According to published interviews with Albee, he also asks his audiences to "grow up." The author of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf A Delicate Balance and more than a score of other works — recognized as essential contributions to 20th-century American theater — has said that all his plays "confront being alive and how to behave with the awareness of death." That awareness will help people to "live their lives more completely; to stop sliding through it," Albee has suggested. "I try to hold a mirror up to people and say, 'Look, this is what you are and this is the way you're behaving. Change! Don't accuse me of yelling at you. Change!'" After all, change is going to happen whether we like it or not, as the middle-aged nurse of Three Tall Women reminds us.

"There's nothing the matter with me," the young lawyer declares. "You just wait," says the nurse. Three Tall Women opens as a long, tense scene for three women, none of them named, who quickly establish themselves as both believable characters and potent symbols of arrogant youth, compassionate maturity and querulous old age. In the first act, they are three different

As directed by Nancy Robillard, the players in this Northern Stage production illuminate the play's complex themes.

She brings

are 20% off ble manipulations. The first act establishes a realistic context for the conceit of the second, which is a conversation between different times in one life. Act two tells the central characters story once over slowly, in a series of intimate, involving — and at least semi-tragic — monologues. Retelling a life with its share of betrayals and disasters, each character demonstrates the strength and terrible ignorance of her own phase. Youth can hardly imagine the accommodations that the middle-aged and elderly are willing to make in order to prosper, keep a marriage together, cope with illness, hold a grudge or even scratch an itch. And the disappointments: How can a love become an enemy? Not just a husband or wife, but a mother, a son? And why, when so much striving seems to end badly anyway, do we keep trying? "Who are we trying to impress?" the young woman asks. "Ourselves!" the old woman answers. "You'll see." The vision of life offered in Three Tall Women is uncompromisingly difficult, and unnervingly honest about the emotional and physical degradations of the human lot. It is perhaps surprising — but surprisingly comforting — that Albee's answer to youths question about the ultimate proportion of happiness to loss involves an unexpected algebra. Joy and suffering are not opposites, he posits. His memorable women — and the audience lucky enough to witness this remarkable drama — learn to find the necessary equation for change in both pleasure and pain. (7)

Democratic position, said Vermont's Democratic governor. "I said I don't have an opinion because I don't know what the federal law is." Fact is, it takes an awfullysmart man to know when to play dumb. After all, like Dick Cheney, Howard Dean is also the defendant in a lawsuit seeking information about who he meets with while on the public payroll. Ho-Ho's been sued by the Rutland Herald/Times Argus and Seven Days. Citing the state public records statute, the papers are seeking copies of his daily schedules from last fall. A trial date has been scheduled for April 23. Look. Dean's no dummy. He knew that if he publicly criticized Cheney, he'd have a hard time defending himself.

When is a chair not just something to sit on,

a table more than a surface on which to toss your salad or your keys? When they're crafted by someone in the Vermont Furniture Guild. Sixteen members show their most beautifid, and mostly wooden, wares — which also include cabinets, trunks and armoires — this month at the Church & Maple Gallery in Burlington. Shown, a cabinet by Sam Norris, crafted from red birch, sycamore, wenge and maple.

WAR IS ME Gibson stars in Randall W a l l a c e ' s powerful adaptation of Hal Moore's best-selling Vietnam memoir. WE WERE SOLDIERS*** 1 7 2 Give war a chance. That seems to be Hollywood's operative philosophy post-September 11. Release schedules have been shuffled to capitalize on the groundswell of patriotic fervor, and the result has been the greatest barrage of war films since the glut of Vietnam War movies following that debacle. And more are on the way. Naturally, some have been more cinematically significant than others. Behind Enemy Lines was hardly in the same league as Black Hawk Down, and Hart's War barely entered the popular consciousness at all. Maybe that was because it dealt with the not-so-hot-button topic of racism as opposed to blowing up Middle Eastern bad guys. There aren't any of the latter in We Were Soldiers, either, but the film is perfectly timed to register on a very deep level with the American public for a number of reasons. After all, how many Vietnam War films have you walked out of saying, "Hey, we really kicked butt over there"? Movies about that conflict traditionally have been soul-searching downers: The U.S. government was portrayed as imbecilic and/or corrupt; military brass were clueless; soldiers were shellshocked, strung-out zombies as likely to take aim at their superior officers as the enemy. With We Were Soldiers, Braveheart writer Randall Wallace has produced the znu-Platoon, a movie that recasts the people and the period in a redblooded, World War II-style glow. Furthermore, it tells a hell of a story, and it happens to be true. Based on the best-selling account, We Were Soldiers Once... and Young, by Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. Galloway, chronicles the first major engagement between U.S. and North Vietnamese forces as well as the events leading up to it back at home. Mel Gibson plays a breed of military man we haven't seen on screen in a while — an Ivy League-educated family man who says prayers with his kids, whispers sweet, well-adjusted nothings to his glamorous wife (Madeleine Stowe), and stays up late reading books on military history. He's so sensitive, articulate, reflective and principled, in fact, he comes off like a beefy Mr. Rogers in combat boots. The ads for the movie play up the wholesome, all-Amdrican side of Gibson's character and the fatherly approach he takes with his men. It's a tad Howdy Doody and over the top in places, and I was worried the story would suffer as a result. I needn't have been concerned, though, because from the moment Gibson kisses his sleeping wife good-bye and quietly leaves his house in the middle of the night, the film kicks into overdrive. It doesn't let up until the credits roll. When the officer and a few hundred mostly raw recruits are choppered into the la Drang Valley in November 1965, they're ambushed by more than 2000 enemy troops and pinned down for three horrific days. Chris Klein, Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliot and Barry Pepper costar. The dialogue borders on the hokey here and there, but the battle sequences are first-rate, like the sort of thing we've seen in Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down. Wallace's script gives equal weight to the heroism of the North Vietnamese — a nice touch — but it's Gibson's character through whom we watch events unfold, and whose strategic intellect proves as exciting as his heroic actions. Or those of his brothers in arms, nearly half of whom die before the show's over. On the level of simple storytelling, the film is both gripping and consistently surprising. From a cultural perspective, it is unique in its take on this tarnished chapter in the nation's history. Things went downhill in a hurry after this battle, and the country has never been the same. In its very early days, though, the Vietnam War seemed like one the U.S. might well win with a combination of advanced technology and good old-fashioned courage. That's currently a proposition with special resonance, and We Were Soldiers is a powerful tale whose telling may prove meaningful far into the future. ®

THE TIME MACHINE Guy Pearce stars in the latest adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells novel about an inventor who travels 800,000 years into the future. Jeremy Irons costars and Simon Wells, the author's greatgrandson, directs. (PG-13)

ENDURANCE TEST: These days its hard to see your way through all the formulaic teen-sex comedies, heroic war epics and the genre du jour, wives-communicating-from-beyond-the-grave fright flicks with insect themes. But every once in a while something original floats to the surface: The Endurance, which has been playing several weeks in Burlington and will be part of Montpelier s Green Mountain Film Festival later this month. The mesmerizing documentary by George Butler details Sir Ernest Shackleton's disastrous 1914 expedition to Antarctica, complete with still photos and footage from the voyage. In failing to conquer the forbidding continent, the British adventurer somehow managed to keep his 27-man crew alive for two years after their ship, HMS Endurance, was irrevocably trapped in an ocean of ice. Unfortunately, the extraordinary effort to survive included eating all their Canadian sled dogs — not to mention many seals and penguins. When Butler spoke on a panel at last year's Lake Placid Film Forum, he mentioned two big-budget features about the Endurance that were in the works. "There's a race on to see who can make the first Hollywood movie," he explained. "It's Wolfgang Peterson and Mel Gibson versus Kenneth Branagh." Peterson, the German director of Das Boot and The Perfect Storm, may know water, but Brit Branagh apparently got there first. He portrays Shackleton in a T V movie scheduled for an April broadcast on A&E. It remains to be seen how the Shakespearean actor decided to handle the canine cuisine issue. For his part, Peterson is reportedly tacking on a happier ending in which Shackleton saves a puppy.

STEPPING OUT: Closer to home, Walter Ungerer of Montpelier got some good ink in the January issue of Art New England. Gerald Peary — also a critic for the Boston Phoenix — sings the praises of the avant-garde writer-director of The House Without Steps, released in 1973, and Leaving the Harbor, 1991. Ungerer has recently adopted a new cinematic style: short videos with computer animation. "Is the universe better with or without our presence?" Peary writes. "That is the key question contemplated and explored, and what's so fascinating is that Ungerer shifts his perspective film to film." EEK GEEK: Our presence in the universe is always at risk in the work •of Rutland's Brett Piper, who's currently shooting another saga in his extensive horror oeuvre. Giant prehistoric spiders are the nasty focus of Arachnia, on which he is the writer, director, principal cinematographer and special-effects guru. The project is in partnership with David Giancola's prolific Edgewood Studios. A master of "cheesy cult" pictures, Piper is the talent behind 1991 s A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell. Five years later he turned out They Bite, about amphibian monsters from outer space that prey on supermodels and porno stars. And who can forget his 2000 release, Drainiaci This instant classic concerns a haunted house in which the plumbing goes ferociously awry.

JEDI COUNTDOWN: Another SFX wizard, Dylan Gottlieb, is creating phantasmagoria on a much bigger budget. The Essex Junction native has been doing his thing — "creature modeling" — for Attack of the Clones, the next chapter in the Star Wars franchise that's set to open on Memorial Day. Gottlieb is employed at Industrial Light and Magic in northern California, but his ILM job is all very hush-hush. A Rochester Institute of Technology graduate who once worked as a "3D artist" for a video-game company, Gottlieb says he can't comment on the film without permission from the PR department. That's not likely to happen until George Lucas says so. The force, after all, is with him. THE HAVE NOTS: ILM is responsible for breathing alien life into "a galaxy far, far away." IMF, on the other hand, is the acronym of an Earth-bound entity called the International Monetary Fund. Life and Debt is a documentary that examines the impact of IMF and World Bank policies on poor Jamaicans struggling to feed their families. With New York City-based director Stephanie Black in attendance, the film will be screened for free at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 in the University of Vermont's Billings Student Center, and at 2 p.m. on March 9 at the Fletcher Free Library. It's a primer for anyone trying to grasp global economic issues on the third planet from the sun. ®

Dear Cecil, Suppose that one day the President of the U.S. announces that, although he was born in the U.S., is older than 35 and has been a resident for more than 14 years, he is- a humanoid of an extraterrestrial species, and hopes that this trifling difference will not prejudice Americans against him or his politics. I note that the relevant part of the Constitution, article II, section 1, paragraph 5, begins "No person except... " Question: Is he disqualified from holding office on valid constitutional grounds? — Eugene Blahut, Chicago So, Eugene. You're saying you don't think we've had any space aliens as president? Ronald Reagan, now. Didn't you sometimes have the feeling, this guy is channeling the Arcturans? A quick review of some constitutional authorities persuades me that the Founding Fathers failed to give any consideration whatsoever to the possibility that the U.S. electorate might one day bestow the presidency on a boyish, likable creature from another planet. (And yes, I realize that if he/she/it were born on Earth — I'm seeing Marin County, although there's an argument to be made for New Jersey — he'd be terrestrial. But we're talking about a member of an extraterrestrial spedes.) We're therefore forced to fall back on our own resources. Who or what legally qualifies as a person? Black's Law Dictionary (1999) defines a person as: 1. A human being. 2. An entity (such as a corporation) that is recognized by law as having the rights and duties of a human being. You're thinking: So Microsoft, in theory, could eliminate the middleman and run the country directly! However, the law generally distinguishes between "natural persons" (the flesh-and-blood kind) and "artificial persons" (those created through operation of law). I'm confident that only the natural kind are permitted to hold public office. However, the experts I initially consulted — you can't expect me to keep track of all these details personally — were unable to cite controlling legal authority to tfyis effect. One fellow actually suggested the question would be determined on the basis of common sense.

Come on, doc, 40 years ago common sense held that marriage was meant strictly for heterosexuals. You'll have to do better than that. We return to the law books. Another brainstorm: Aren't presidents of the United States required to be citizens thereof? Indeed, the passage cited above goes on to state that no person who is not a "natural born Citizen" shall be eligible for the office. Surely natural born definitively rules out corporations, cyborgs and those icky critters they were manufacturing in the black pits of Isengard in The Lord of the Rings. But who qualifies as a citizen? The 14th Amendment declares, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Wonderful, but we're still left with the question of what constitutes a person. Strict constructionists at this point might reason as follows: The plain and simple meaning of "person" is a human being — that is, a member of the species Homo sapiens (to be strictly taxonomically accurate, Homo sapiens sapiens, although I suppose in our tolerant era we'd let the Neanderthals in). A member of

an extraterrestrial species, however humanoid in appearance, would not be a member of H. sapiens and thus would be ineligible for the presidency, although I'm betting he could still make a good living in TV news. That's one school of thought. Another argues: That's speciesism, which is antithetical to this nations bedrock values! An alternative dictionary definition of person is, "a human being, esp. as distinguished from a thing or lower animal." Doesn't the latter qualification really get to the heart of it (so to speak)? The Founding Fathers' chief aim was to forestall the election of crustaceans, protozoans and other critters lacking the wherewithal to conduct the nations business (although a country that could elect Warren Harding has obviously set the bar pretty low). Surely the intention wasn't to disqualify some worthy sentient merely because he wasn't a carbon-based life-form. I'm not saying its an entirely dispositive argument. But if the lawyers could argue for months ' about punch-card chads, imagine what they could do with this.

NOW So let's t * e c K o u t t h e ^

Joan of Arc had already led an army to victory when she went up against the Catholic Church — and lost — at age 19. Testimony from her five-month trial for witchcraft informs a onewoman play that recasts the French saint as a teen-age runaway lesbian. 7 he Second Coming offoari of Arc could have also been titled The Second Coming — Out — of Joan of Arc. Like the French heroine, playwright Carolyn Gage had a vision. A television station in Buffalo likened it to a "combined dose of Karl Marx, Betty Friedan and triple espresso."

dancing in the street

organ donor

It ain't Swan Lake. Or even West Side Story. Jane Comfort's full-length dance-theater piece, Asphalt, is a hard look at contemporary urban culture. Its prince charming is an aspiring deejay who uses music to transcend his grim urban reality on the streets of New York. Choreographer Jane Comfort brought in the big guns to collaborate on this one: Carl Hancock Rux is the wordsmith. Hip-hop maestro deejay Spooky provided the tracks. And folk-blues artist Toshi Reagon brought up the vocals. It's a chance to see dance moving in new directions.

You'd think playing Bacharound-the-clock would keep her busy. But Eva Hagberg, the Swedish keyboardist for the Swissbased Ensemble Corund, is booked for a solo show two days after her group's gig. Fresh from a tour with flutist Sir James Galway, Hagberg will play two instruments in the course of the concert. She'll get hands-on with Piircell, Pachelbel, Johann Walther and John Stanley on the university's magificent Fisk organ. From a harpsichord that hails from Robert Hicks of Lincoln, you'll hear Johann Jakob Froberger, Johan Helmich Roman and two guys named Couperin. Yes, they're related.

Jane Comfort's Asphalt. Friday, March 8. Flynn Center, Burlington, 8 p.m. $16.50-25.50. Info, 863-59S6.

cold comfort? Could old ice from Antarctica explain the meteorological madness of our winter? Maybe. Scientists believe samples cored from bergs in the north and south poles hold the history of the world s climate. It's not a stretch to imagine the ancient ice cubes as indicators of where we are heading. Dr. Debra Meese shares insights from analyzing layers of sediment that have built up over thousands of years, including speculations about extreme climate events and changes in sea ice chemistry. Now if we could only get her to explain budding lilacs in March...

wilder things There's a dark side to Our Town, assures Vermont Stage director Mark Nash. But it was the "life-affirming" quality of the Thornton Wilder drama that inspired him to program it after the September terrorist attacks. Even though the play takes place in turn-of-thecentury New Hampshire, Grovers Corners will look familiar to Vermonters accustomed to rural life and its attending characters. But the play's larger theme — the challenge of appreciating life while we iive it — transcends time and town lines. Our Town. Wednesday through Sunday, March 6-10, 13-17. FlynnSpace, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $15-26. Info, 862-1497.

It's hard to believe Irv Abrams is showing photos anywhere these days. The Burlington photographer recently faced charges of hiring underaged girls to pose naked. It didn't help his recently concluded case that some of his "models" were strung out on heroin. But hey, maybe the attitudes about adolescent exposure were different on his "Italian excursion" — the subject of his slide show hosted by the Lite 'n' Lens Club. Let's hope this ill-timed show passes the "Bimba" test.

SEVEN DAYS

page 2 5 a/,

March 6 - 1 3 horoscope is adapted from a manual used to train special forces in allclimate, all-terrain survival techniques. It has been researched and tested by experts. Now it is being made available to you — just in time for the last few miles of your crawl across the wasteland. With the help of the subliminal clues embedded in this text, you will be able to turn poison into medicine, take advantage of your so-called weaknesses, and mutate^ turgid "no" into a sleek "yes." Now please utter the magic word of power: reverence.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): No offense, Taurus, but your metaphorical fantasy muscles have grown a bit flabby. Possible cause: your overconsumption of glossy entertainment concocted by Hollywood hacks. You've got to do something! Looming decisions will require your imagination to be in top shape. I suggest you launch an intensive exercise program, beginning with these calisthenics. 1. Visualize yourself as a superhero. What are your powers? Your costume and name? 2. If you could summon a brilliant ally from history, who would it be and what would you want to discuss? 3. Dream up three stories you'd love to read in the newspaper. 4. A skilled tapestry weaver offers to create a masterpiece featuring scenes from the great turning points in your life. Which events will you choose? -

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The taskmaster planet Saturn has been in your sign since last April. No doubt you've felt the squeeze. But now Saturn's slipping into a smooth, silky arrangement with the warm and fuzzy planet Neptune. You should already be feeling a sense of relief, as if a benefactor had taken on some of the emotional baggage you'd been lugging around. You can expect the divine easement to continue for a few

logy

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This

weeks, Gemini. And if you play your wild cards right — that is, if you capitalize on this grace period by paying off the karmic debt that required you to become a beast of burden in the first place — you might even be permanently excused from carrying that extra emotional baggage.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Since ancient times, China has harbored three great religions: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The typical Chinese person has traditionally cobbled together a melange of beliefs gathered from all three. This is quite different from the Western way, which is to be faithful to one religion or another and never mix and match. But out on America's Left Coast, where I live, a growing tribe has adopted the Chinese approach. We borrow elements from Buddhism, paganism, Sufism, Cabalism, esoteric Christianity and Hermetic mysticism to create a personalized spiritual path. Religious historians call this syncretism. I recommend you try it out in the coming months. The astrological omens say it's a perfect time for you to expand your appreciation for God's love of outrageous variety. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): You're in that muddy gray area that combines breathtaking views of the Twilight Zone with the morally ambiguous ambiance of Limbo. As you might guess, this is not the time to go around telling other people how they should change. In fact, the only way to avoid taking a direct hit of slimy karma may be to keep very busy changing yourself. Here's a good way to start: Upgrade the quality of your food, information, self-care and love. I also suggest that you offer yourself a gift that symbolizes your commit-

ment to continually outgrow your previous successes.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you're normal, you average one greasy-food stain per month, would rather talk about your sex life than how much money you make, throw out 1905 pounds of garbage per year, have 1.3 phobias, will have forgotten, by tomorrow, 80 percent of everything you learned today, have never eaten a bug, are less likely to do the right thing when you're hungry, drunk, stressed or sleep-deprived, have six million dust mites living in your bed, and still hold most of the beliefs you formed by age 18. Alas, Virgo, the astrological aspects coming to bear on you during the next four weeks will not be overly favorable if you carry on in a normal manner. They will, however, be quite good if you act atypical, even a little freaky. 1 suggest, therefore, that you rebel against the above profile.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In one old fairy tale, a virtuous hero goes to punch an evil witch. But due to her magic spell, the thrust of his fist boomerangs and he smashes himself in the nose. Blood flows from his nostrils. He wipes it with his fingertips and flings a few red drops in the witch's direction. Hallelujah! This sends her fleeing. He's saved. Moral of the story: His wound is his ultimate protection. Apply this lesson to your own life, Libra, as you struggle against your adversary.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Man in his present state has as much desire to urinate as he has to make vows to Artemis," says writer Edward Dahlberg. In other words, most modern humans have no relationship with wild female deities, nor

would they ever conceive of a reason why that might be fun or sincere or inspiring. But my reading of the current cosmic omens leads me to suggest that you contradict Dahlberg, Scorpio. Artemis is not dead, I swear to you; she is not just a figment of the archaic Greek mind. She is a living archetype of fiercely nurturing female energy. Goddess of the everchanging moon, strong protectress of the undomesticated soul, she gives sanctuary to all who prize liberated fertility. I dare you to make a vow to her.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "In teaching my students," says Waldorf teacher Meg Gorman, "I try to figure out what questions I can ask that have no right answer. I seek to frame paradoxes, to force the student to develop original thought." If you follow my column, Sagittarius, you know that this is my recipe for becoming a soulful human being. Fondness for mystery and comfort with ambiguity are always sound approaches to life, in my opinion. But they're especially so now. You're in a phase when your sleeping potentials can only be awakened by asking impossible questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I have a vision of you dressed in a snappy black leather ensemble, your eyebrows perfectly sculpted from a session with an image consultant, your speech booming charismatically from your diaphragm after a few sessions with a voice teacher. Are you also wearing a silk scarf? Yes. It's terra cotta-colored, made in Bali. In my psychic revelation, Capricorn, I see you in your town's hippest eatery, dining on coq au vin, surrounded by a bevy of movers and shakers who are hanging

^ \ ' I

on your every word. "What a sexy catalyst!" is the thought playing in the backs of their minds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For Buddhists, bodhisattvas are souls that have reached enlightenment but have foresworn nirvana so that they might continue to be reincarnated and work to liberate all sentient beings from suffering. Bodhisattvas don't always have conscious knowledge that they are noble saints, and even those who do sometimes keep it a secret. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, for two reasons. First, whether or not you are a bodhisatrva, the cosmos is now inviting and even pushing you to act like one. Second, this is a perfect moment for you to expand and experiment with the role that generosity plays in your self-expression.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Some people feel polluted when they look at porn; some when they eat Pringles and Twinkies. Myself, I experience a sense of violation after being exposed to celebrity gossip. And yet, if I've learned anything about how to maintain a healthy relationship with purity, it's that a fanatical adherence to it is as dangerous as a compulsive rejection of it. This will be especially true for you Pisceans in the coming weeks. Therefore, my dear Fishes, I exhort you to rebel cagily against any urge you might have to be in total control; I urge you to not remain spotless and lily white. (Just to prove I practice what I preach, I promise to read People magazine cover to cover.) You can call Rob day or night for

Dear Concerned, What exactly are you fearing here? That your daughter is having sex? That she is having sex with her boyfriend? Or that they're having sex in your home? Would you rather she be screwing some stranger? That they do the dirty more discreetly, so you don't have to know about it? Or that she abstain altogether? Like it or not, you've been handed an opportunity to exercise your parental obligations. Make sure that when the lass does perform the act —now or later — condoms are part of the picture. And let her know that i f , God forbid, the condom breaks, you'll be there to for her. Better you shculd both be embarrassed now than everyone get a nasty surprise down the road. Love, Lola
