increase awareness, bolster alco hol education, and raise the bar for training standards. Changing policy from hands off to hands on is often a bitter pill to swal low. The fact is, most o f the licensees I am aware of are in tune with the rules, and interest ed in protecting their livelihood by following them. Perhaps an open dialogue and improved conversation between parties on both sides of the issue will serve to create an environ ment where businesses can thrive, rules can be followed, and an atmosphere o f responsible consumption can continue to exist. — Eric Filkowski Burlington Filkowski is manager ofR i Ra The Irish Pub Restaurant on Church Street in Burlington. D EM S H ELPED TAKE DOW N T E N T I found it interesting that the cover graphic o f last week’s Seven Days issue about “booze bashing” in Burlington featured someone with a “Prog” button on. The vote to deny an outdoor con sumption permit for Ri-Ra’s on St. Patrick’s Day was six to six.

As the Chairperson o f the Burlington City Committee o f the Vermont Progressive Party, I’d like your readers to know that four Democrats and two Progressives voted to deny the permit. Perhaps a more fitting cover graphic would have fea tured someone wearing a “Dem” button. I would guess that there is as much diversity among Prog ressives on this issue as within any other group, as may be noted by the votes in favor and opposed. — Connie Krosney Burlington Krosney is chairperson o f the Burlington City Committee o f the Vermont Progressive Party.

clearer in my own mind o f what the driving force, and who the demon is, on this issue. While I cannot say I am over ly thrilled with the abrupt change in my St. Patrick’s Day plans, I cannot fault Councilman Smith or Assistant City Attorney Bergman personally. The driving force o f this issue is a very real problem, alcohol abuse, and the demon is perception. In this case, unfortunately, the perception is that the proliferation o f licenses issued and outside consumption permits is substantially contribut ing to this problem. Further per ception in our case seems to be that Ri Ra The Irish Pub Restaurant is a bar, and that we should not be allowed to take our “bar” into the streets. The fact is, we sell a fair amount o f beer, but we also sell a fair amount o f food — real meals, desserts, kid burgers and the like. We also provide entertainment, offer a clean and safe environ ment and run a very tight ship. I look forward to continuing to work to manage the public’s perception o f my establishment.

said when the women left more than an hour later, after the fire had been put out.

BY ROLAND SWEET Curses, Foiled Again A man who robbed a bank in Columbus, Ohio, eluded police by ducking into a nearby drug store. He entered a restroom and changed clothes, then hid his old clothes, the cash and the toy gun he used in a bag, which he stuffed inside a toilet tank. Shortly after he left, the toilet tank overflowed, and employees found the bag. The Columbus Dispatch reported that a few minutes after the store manager reported the find, the man phoned and asked the manager, “Hey, did you guys call the police? I was just in there and left my bag in the restroom. Can I come back and get it?” The manager told the man he could come collect the bag. When Reginald Chineme Ogbuehi, 22, showed up, police were waiting to arrest him.

Second-Amendment Follies John Wilkinson, 66, entered a bank in Dublin, Pennsylvania, and retrieved his safe-deposit box, then, according to police investi gators, shot himself in the head with a handgun he apparently kept in the box. He was pro nounced dead at the scene. • Anthony “Smokey” Saduk Jr.,

T h r e e

29, and his roommate Wesley Geisinger, 31, were hosting a party at their home in Woodbine, New Jersey, when Saduk loaded an antique-replica muzzleloader rifle with black powder and ciga rette butts, according to State Police. As a prank, Saduk aimed and fired at Geisinger, who was standing about seven feet away. Geisinger was killed when three cigarette butts penetrated his ribcage and lodged above his heart. • Eight-year-old Christopher Kissinger, a first-grader in Jonesboro, Arkansas, was sus pended from school for three days after he picked up a breaded chicken finger from his lunch, aimed it at a teacher and said, Pow, pow, pow.”

Sinking Ship of State Three years after its release, the movie Titanic is enjoying a wave o f popularity in Afghanistan, prompting a crack down by the orthodox Islamic Taleban party that controls most of the country. The Titanic name is being attached to cosmetics, clothes, wedding cakes, footwear, vehicles and even a brand of rice. The most visible sign of Titanic fever is a haircut that mimics that of the movie’s star, Leonardo DiCaprio: short in the back with a floppy fringe. In January, reli gious police deployed by the Taleban’s Ministry of Vice and Virtue jailed more than 30 bar bers in Kabul, accusing them of providing the forbidden haircut, which the Taleban insists inter feres with prayers by letting men’s hair fall on their foreheads.

First Things First

Bovine Interception

When a fire broke out on the rooftop of an office building in Hong Kong, scores o f office workers evacuated, but two women who were getting their nails done refused to leave. Rebecca Lee, the owner of the Fingertrix nail salon, and two staff members who were putting acrylic fingernails on the two cus tomers also remained, despite warnings from security guards. “We took the risk because we wanted to get our job done,” Lee

Russian police charged four men with stealing a pregnant cow from a village 300 miles east of Moscow, then escaping by squeezing the 660-pound cow in their car and driving 37 miles. The Star newspaper reported that investigators believe they will have to reconstruct the crime using a dummy cow in order to prove the charges.

Teaching the World to

Sing A coalition of religious and civic groups in South Korea ^ reported they are sending their first shipment of aid to povertystricken North Korea. The $917,000 worth of private aid will include underwear, flour, goats, disposable syringes and 10 karaoke machines programmed with 4000 South Korean and U.S. pop songs. The coalition pointed out that the karaoke machines, a special gift from the owner of an electronic market in Seoul, have had all military tunes removed to avoid controversy.

Down Side of Uplift New-style underwire brassieres have become the biggest cause of blockages or damage to washing machines in Britain. “With underwired bras now accounting for over half the bra sales in Britain, it’s a growing hazard for washing machines,” said Sue Loder of bra experts Triumph International, which reckons 75 percent o f British women wash their bras in the machine.

The Hoover Maneuver When a 70-year-old Japanese man started choking on his mochi, the traditional New Year’s sticky rice cake, his daughter grabbed a vacuum cleaner and used it to suck out the glutinous mass, according to a local official in the northern island of Hokkaido. Although every year

the Japanese press has reports of elderly people dying from eating mochi during the holidays, the official cautioned that the vacu um cleaner is not an acceptable way to remove the rice cake, explaining, “such actions can harm your intestines.”

The Rat Race After spending their day run ning through lab mazes, rats dream about the workplace, according to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists hooked up a device that measures the pattern of neurons firing in the area of the brain known to be involved in memory, then had the mice perform specific tasks in a maze. They observed distinctive patterns of brain activity, which were reproduced almost exactly when the rats slept.

Bang-Up Job A 34-year-old Danish man decided to greet his friends, who were being held at the Roskilde police station, by tossing fire works from the roof, but he underestimated their firepower and nearly destroyed the build ing. He threw one firecracker into an airshaft leading to the staff toilet, which was destroyed completely. The explosion started a fire, which caused extensive damage before it was extin guished. The man was arrested on the roof. (Z)

Don’t try to find a way around it, or under it, or qui etly through it — from Colchester to anywhere is no trip for the meek.

Linda Faillace with her controversial sheep

BY JO H N A. DILLON icki Soukup saw her mother-inlaw metamorphose over a matter o f weeks from a prop er, British-born woman o f taste to a bewildered invalid who no longer recognized her own family. The disease struck like Alzheimer’s in fastforward. Her mother-in-law grew con fused and agitated and then quickly declined. Over one weekend, the younglooking and active 75-year-old “lost the ability to toilet herself, bathe herself. She lost all orientation with reality,” Vicki Soukup recalled. “Her mind just got fried.” * Joyce Soukup died on November 18, 1998, about five months after she became ill. Her death was a blessing o f sorts, since it ended her horrible suffering. Now Vicki Soukup, who lives near Cleveland, Ohio, is left with many unanswered questions.

SEVEN DAYS

How did her mother-in-law get sick? Was it “mad cow” disease, contracted by eating infected meat when she lived in and later returned to visit England, where the mys terious brain-wasting sickness originated? Soukup questions whether U.S. health officials have overlooked cases o f the dis ease in this country. And she asks if gov ernment agencies are vigilant enough to stop its spread in the United States. “We need to do more research, get it identified, get more people to understand it’s out there,” she said. For years, the number o f mad cow cases held more or less steady. But recent ly, the disease is on the loose again, stam peding through the United Kingdom and across the European continent, decimating the beef industry in several countries and dashing hopes that the epidemic first seen in the 1980s had peaked. With this and a recent outbreak o f hoof-and-mouth dis ease — and, in Vermont, Johne’s disease

r march 7, 2001 -r

— there couldn’t be a worse time to be a cattle farmer. American health officials have taken strong measures to make sure mad cow in particular does not cross the Atlantic. Most experts agree that the risk for U.S. cattle and consumers remains extremely low. Yet some critics feel the precautions in place may not be enough. The disease is going global, spread by international trade and the bizarre practice o f turning cattle into carnivores by feeding rendered animal protein back to bovines. And the U.S. for years allowed a host o f questionable food safety practices that could ulimately facili tate its spread. Sheldon Rampton, a Madison, Wisconsin, researcher and co-author o f the book M ad Cow USA: Can the Nightmare Happen Here? has followed mad cow disease for more than a decade, long before the bizarre illness dominated head lines in Europe and at home. He said gov

ernment regulations designed to prevent the spread o f the disease are not being fol lowed. “If they continue the lax policies with regard to feeding rendered animal prod ucts to other animals, they are just leaving the door wide open to an outbreak in this country, as they have seen in Europe,” he said. In the past few months, infected ani mals were found in Austria, in Spain and at an Italian slaughterhouse that supplies the M cDonald’s fast-food chain. Belgium has acknowledged 21 cases. And Germany, long proud o f its safety measures to avoid the contagion, was shocked by its first case in November and has since uncovered more than a dozen infected animals. As the beef industry evaporates and con sumers shun sausage and steak tartare, some restaurants on the continent post signs announcing that only U.S. beef is served.

Halting the outbreak will be costly, not just for meat packers and farmers, but for European taxpayers as well. Beef sales have dropped 27 percent across Europe, while the cost o f containing the disease and compensating farmers could reach $20 bil lion, according to a recent BusinessWeek estimate. If the disease took hold in the United

The question is not whether the disease is here, according to some experts. The numerical odds almost guarantee that it is. States, the financial — and potential pub lic health — impact would be even greater. Bovine products are used for food, but also for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants and other products. The beef industry is the largest sector o f the U.S. agricultural economy and a pillar o f American trade. Any hint that mad cow had surfaced here could send the industry into a tailspin. Big money is at stake — and so are human lives. An advisory committee to the U .S. Food and Drug Administration just over a month ago responded to the outbreak in Europe and recommended banning blood donations from people who had lived 10 years or more in France, Ireland or Portugal. People who lived in Britain for six months or more from 1980 to 1996 are already banned from giving blood. N o one knows if the human ver sion o f mad cow disease could be spread by transfusions, but animal studies suggest it might. The disease can strike decades

after exposure, and the government and nonprofit blood centers are taking no chances. It’s better to limit blood donations now “than to look back five years from now and say this is what we should have done,” said Carol Dembeck, a spokes woman for the Red Cross blood center in Burlington. The recommendation to pro tect the domestic blood supply is one o f many preventive steps taken by U.S. offi cials — measures that have included the planned seizure o f two flocks o f Vermont sheep suspected o f harboring the disease. The owners, Houghton Freeman o f Stowe and Linda and Larry Faillace o f Warren, have fought a government seizure order in court, and the appeals have played out in the Vermont media for months. U.S. District Judge J. Garvan Murtha ruled recently that they must surrender their animals for slaughter. This week a federal appeals court in New York denied the owners’ last-minute request for a stay o f execution, but have set a date for yet another appeal to be heard.

FINAL EXAM? Sheep appraisers examining the Faillace flock last summer 1 he sheep case is an example o f the government acting with extreme caution in the face o f unknown risk. Although sheep have never been infected with so-called mad cow disease outside o f laboratory experiments, the U SD A says the animals or their ancestors may have been exposed to tainted feed before they were imported from Europe. Tests on four o f the animals from Freemans farm in Greensboro showed signs that the sheep were infected with some version o f transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), the family o f ill nesses that includes mad cow disease and a far more common sheep version. A scientist testifying for the USDA could not say last summer which T SE the animals had. But the flock owners say the tests were inconclusive and lacked proper scientific controls, and that none o f the sheep — or their ancestors in Europe — have shown signs o f infection. Congress appropriated $2.4 million last fall to pur chase the flocks, totaling 276 sheep, at a per-animal cost o f $8700. The Vermont shepherds turned down the offer, saying the amount did not come close to the value o f their investment. Agriculture and health officials have banned European meat and bone meal from entering this country, barred imports o f beef from the United Kingdom and other countries, and have tested U.S. cattle that show signs o f illness. But the blockade erected to prevent mad cow disease from

crossing the Atlantic may not be working. If the disease is here, the conditions that fostered its spread in Europe existed in this country until recently as well, according to a report issued last summer by a scientific advisory commission to the European Union. Mad cow disease swept through the British cattle herd — and later, experts believe, infected European livestock — through the practice o f feeding dead ani mals to bovines. Turning cows into canni bals solved a nasty waste-disposal problem for the meatpacking industry. Organs and other offal left after an animal is slaugh tered can be converted into high-protein pellets and used to supplement plantbased feeds. Scientists believe that mad cow disease can occur spontaneously through natural mutations in about one in 1 million ani mals. A British government commission concluded this fall that the disease spread to tens o f thousands o f animals in England when sick cattle were recycled into feed in the early 1980s. Another the ory blames the outbreak on diseased sheep that were turned into cattle feed. In 1997, the FDA outlawed the prac tice here o f feeding ruminants — such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer — to other ruminants. But before that time, U.S. feed mills had few controls to prevent poten tially contaminated products from enter ing the mills and being distributed

throughout the country, the EU report said. The reports authors concluded that a mad cow disease outbreak in the United States was “unlikely,” but nonetheless pos sible. The report could not rule out that U .S. “cattle are clinically or pre-clinically infected” with the disease-causing agent. (“Pre-clinical” refers to an animal being infected before it shows signs o f illness that could lead to a diagnosis.) And the feed ban — designed to prevent infected cattle or sheep from infecting other ani mals — has been poorly enforced. FDA officials, who are responsible for ensuring the safety o f animal feed, admitted in January that nearly a quarter o f the 180 large companies that render cattle and sheep were not properly labeling their products. In addition, these companies did not have a system to prevent commingling o f ruminant-derived feed with other prod ucts. Some 6000 to 8000 feed mills are so small they do not require FD A licenses. They are nonetheless subject to the regula tions, and o f 1593 small feed producers that handle ruminant material and have been inspected, 40 percent were not using approved labels and 25 percent had no system in place to prevent commingling, officials said. L .^ Meanwhile, potentially tainted animal products have continued to reach U .S.

continued from page 9 shores, despite a 1989 import ban on most British beef prod ucts. The E U scientific advisory commission disclosed last sum mer that 37 tons o f meat and offal were sent from the United Kingdom to this country in 1997, after the shipments were supposedly outlawed. In December, the U SD A imposed a new ban on “rendered products” from Europe or from any coun try where mad cow disease is present. But loopholes remain. Manufacturers o f health supple ments are still allowed to use imported glandular material, and are not required to list country o f origin on their labels. Other imported beef products that can enter this country include blood, fat, gelatin, bone mineral extracts, tallow, collagen and amniotic fluid. Some common vaccines used to inoculate millions o f people also pose a theoretical risk because they contain European bovine products. The FDA recently warned that several widely used vaccines were pro duced using bovine-derived material from countries that could harbor mad cow disease. The agency did not order a recall, but recommended that manufacturers phase out use o f the suspect ingredients. The global trade in food and animal products has hastened the

spread o f mad cow disease to Europe and possibly beyond. The United Nations recently estimat ed that at the height o f the epi demic in the United Kingdom, British companies exported at least 300,000 tons o f untraceable bovine byproducts to Western Europe and other nations, including the United States. “The potentially contaminated material could be repackaged and re-exported from these coun tries,” Maura Ricketts, o f the

World Health Organiz-ation’s animal- and food-related risk unit, told the Knight-Ridder news service. There is also an issue o f spon taneous cases o f mad cow disease in this country and questions about whether those sick animals could get into the U.S. feed sup ply or be served up as steak. The question is not whether the dis ease is here, according to some experts. The numerical odds almost guarantee that it is. Since

T SEs occur spontaneously in one in a million animals, and 36 mil lion cattle are slaughtered each year, 36 animals are probably infected annually, and some o f them could have entered the food system, despite stringent safety regulations. “Will [mad cow disease] ever come to America?” asks Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes in Deadly Feasts, his 1997 book that chronicles mad cow disease research. “The answer

seems to be: It’s already here, in native form, a low-level infection that industrial cannibalism could amplify to epidemic scale.” icki Soukup has seen first-hand the suffering that would take place if the disease spread in this country. In her mother-in-law’s case, doc tors first suspected Alzheimer’s, but she was ultimately diagnosed with Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (C JD ), a rare human malady

closely related to mad cow dis ease. Joyce Soukup’s decline occurred in a matter o f weeks, but even as her brain deteriorat ed, she had moments o f lucidity. She loved to play crossword puz zles. One day, as her husband sat in her room completing a game, he tossed out the clues to her. Something clicked and her mind responded. “She didn’t have a clue who he was, but she could fire back the answers,” Vicki Soukup said. The disease changed her mother-in-laws personality. “She didn’t know who she was. She just panicked. One time she picked up her treasured antiques and began throwing them around,” Vicki Soukup recalled. Mad cow disease is a member o f the always-fatal T SE family o f illnesses. The sheep form o f T SE is called scrapie, while deer and elk are susceptible to a version called chronic wasting disease, or CW D. Cattle get a version called bovine spongiform encephalopa thy, or BSE. The strain that has crossed the species barrier from cows to people is known as new variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, or vC JD . T SEs are particularly fright ening because o f their potentially long incubation period. People exposed to the human version, for example, can be healthy for 30 or more years before it strikes. Eighty-eight people in the United Kingdom and in Europe have died or are dying from vC JD .

Two types o f T SEs are endemic in the United States. Scrapie has infected sheep here since 1947 and has been found in 45 states. Chronic wasting dis ease has struck elk and deer in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Oklahoma. In Canada, authorities destroyed 1700 elk last year after they were exposed to the disease. As Seven Days reported two years ago, sci entists are trying to determine whether chronic wasting disease could spread from elk or deer to humans. Three Americans under the age o f 30 who had CreutzfeldJakob disease ate deer and elk ' meat when they were young, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CD CP) in Atlanta. The deaths were unusual, since C JD rarely strikes young people — although in England most o f the victims o f vC JD were in fact young. The three U.S. cases “suggest a possible relationship with C W D ,” but investigators found “no strong evidence o f a causal link” with the patients’ illnesses, C D C P ’S Dr. Ermias Belay told an FDA advisory panel in January. To make matters even more eerie, the family o f diseases that killed Joyce Soukup and decimat ed the British beef industry are spread by an infectious agent that is not “alive” and thus cannot be “killed.” Researchers believe that TSEs cripple and kill their victims when a protein normally found

in the brain folds into an abnor mal shape and then triggers other proteins to do the same. As these abnormally shaped proteins — dubbed prions — grow, they leave dead spaces inside the brain tissue, giving it a sponge-like appearance. Prions can multiply out o f control, yet they lack the RNA or DN A that are considered the building blocks of all life. Prions can remain lethal despite conventional sterilization tech niques, heat up to 600 degrees Celsius and blasts o f radiation. Medical studies show that, like mutant TSEs in cattle, C JD occurs spontaneously in about one person out o f 1 million. But Vicki Soukup thinks many cases are missed, as her mother-in-law’s nearly was. Doctors are not required to report cases of Creutzfeld-Jakob to federal health officials. And Soukup said elderly victims may be misdiagnosed as suffering from senility or Alzheimer’s. “I believe it’s undercounted,” she said. “How many cases are treat ed as Alzheimer’s?” Research supports Soukup’s concern. A 1989 study at the University o f Pittsburgh found that when patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or some other dementia were autopsied, 5.5 percent in fact had died o f C JD . A similar study at Yale turned up C JD in 13 percent o f the cases that were initially classified as Alzheimer’s. Michael Hansen, a researcher at Consumers Union,

the 21-member Vermont dele gation. You might have noticed that was Lt. Gov. Doug Racine holding the sacred hand drill at the annual maple tree tapping ceremony in Randolph Monday and looking very gubernatorial in the process. Douglas Racine is the governor o f Vermont until March 16. Make no mistake, he’d like the job full-time. Doug the Democrat sits atop the list o f likely successors to Gov. Dean, assuming King Howard ever finds something else he’d like to do for a day job. Recently, sources say, our fiveterm Guv has been taking the political pulse, asking Statehouse insiders if they think he’s been around too long. Some say that’s because he’s hav ing fun setting the agenda and wants to keep doing it. The guy loves his job. Gov. Racine has to be delighted with the goofy tactics o f his principal Republican rival, state treasurer Jim Douglas. Mr. Douglas recently signed up the support o f 82 out o f 83 House Republicans, but he continues to cling to a bizarre vow o f public silence on the top issues o f the day. A strange bird is he. In fact, Jim Douglas is so strange, The Burlington Free Press gave the DagWOOd Bumstead o f Vermont politics an editorial drubbing Monday. The Freeps openly questioned the strength o f Jam es’ spine and ridiculed him for declining to comment on civil unions, or even the Bush tax-cut proposal, while openly running for gover nor. (O f course, everybody knows, The Burlington Free Press pulled a Jim Douglas on civil unions, too. N o spine, that is.) Clearly, Jim Douglas is busy lining up his political ducks for the 2002 governor’s race. But he’s made an unusual strategic decision he may come to regret. Jim ’s decided he will try to offend as few people as possible by staying mum on issues. How can you be against a candidate if you don’t know what the candi date stands for? Pretty smart move, eh? “N ot one that I would use,” said Racine Tuesday. Vermont’s acting governor was keeping abreast o f the storm situation when he spoke to Seven Days. “If you’re announcing interest in running for the office o f gover nor,” said Mr. Racine, “you should be prepared to answer questions. Vermonters have a right to know and at some point they will.” Meanwhile, Mr. Douglas’ determined self-censorship is starting to make some folks question his qualifications for the biggest job in Vermont. Ought to nip that one in the bud, Jimbo.

Shut Down Commuter Rail? — According to Dot Newhall o f Barre, the Burlington-toCharlotte commuter rail line should be shut down pronto because it’s in violation o f the

law, specifically the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Ms. Newhall knows it’s violating the law because when she rode the Champlain Flyer the other day, the crew had to carry her and her wheelchair off the train in Charlotte. That’s a no-no, says Newhall. Dot’s an amputee who’s been wheelchairbound for nine years. She’s also co-chair o f the statewide Independent Living Council and sits on the Access Board of the Department o f Labor and Industry. Transportation Secretary Brian Searles tells Seven Days, “The commuter rail project must be ADA-compliant to be federally funded, and, in fact, the Burlington and Shelburne stations are in compliance by virtue o f portable lifts at each • » site. According to Sec. Searles, the Charlotte station “is still under construction” and won’t be ADA-compliant until it opens sometime this spring. He said it’s “not uncommon” for “limited service” to be offered at facilities that are still under con struction. Dot Newhall says that’s just not good enough. She says the commuter train service is sup posed to be compliant today when the train is running. She told Seven Days she wrote and called Gov. Howard Dean about the matter over a month ago and has yet to receive a reply. On first blush, most folks we’ve mentioned this story to thought Dot Newhall was being a little too picky. Yours truly was leaning that way, too, at first. Hey, so they carried her off the train. No big deal, right? Then we imagined spending a day “walking” in Dot Newhall’s shoes and suddenly the Americans With Disabilities Act took on a whole different significance. The fact is, since 1990, the United States has rec ognized accessibility as a civil right. Last we looked, the Champlain Flyer was operating in the United States.

This Bud’s For You Update — A couple weeks ago we reported Hub Vogelmann’s annual collec tion o f discarded cans and bot tles tossed out car windows along a one-mile stretch of Schillhammer Road in Jericho. Budweiser, the king o f beers, was the run-away first-place fin isher when it came to Jericho’s roadside trash — 229 Buds in a three-month stretch. (That’s $11.45 in deposit change.) Vogelmann, a distinguished professor emeritus at Camp Catamount and a national pio neer in acid-rain research, says his annual roadside garbage col lecting is for a reason — to make the point that beer con tainers make up 90 percent o f the roadside litter. “A simple solution to elimi nate the problem,” says the Hubster, “is to raise the deposit on beer containers. Make it whatever it takes to make it hurt to throw a can or bottle on the roadside.” Fifty cents? A dollar? ®

ILLU STRATIO N : SLUG SIGNORINO

wmmmmmmmmm

D ea r Cecil, N u m ero u s tales o rig in a tin g in A sia (usually H o n g Kong, a lthough I h ave also seen references to Singapore, T h a ila n d , In d ia , Japan, Korea, etc.) describe restaurants th a t serve m onkey brains. T he procedure fo r p rep a ra tio n is usually described thusly: A live m onkey is bro u g h t to th e ta b le a n d im m o b ilize d by h a v in g his h ea d th ru st through a m e ta l collar. In som e versions scalding w a ter is p o u re d over h is scalp to k ill o f f th e lice. Then a to o l o f som e so rt is used to sm ash th e creature’s sku ll, a n d its brains are scooped o u t a n d consum ed raw. C an y o u establish any tru th to this, or are w e d ea lin g w ith ju s t a n o th er lo n g -ru n n in g urb a n legend?

— M a rk Schreiber, Tokyo P.S.: I p erso n a lly h a ve no desire to w itness such a p rocedure or consum e sim ia n gray m atter.

Don’t kid me, you slime — that scene in H a n n ib a l got you salivating, didn’t it? (Or maybe it was the one in In d ia n a Jones a n d th e Tem ple o f D oom .) The idea seems so gross it can’t possibly be true. But is it? We began as we always do, by seeing what we could scare up on the Web. Plenty has been written about this. The Chinese, or at least those in Guangdong province, near Hong Kong, are said to prize all manner of bizarre foods, including bear’s paw, snake, crocodile, dog, kangaroo, pigeon, frogs, sparrows, live baby mice {g o o d fo r ulcers), new born rats (p in kies , swallowed whole and alive for asthma), lizards, worms seasoned in cheddar cheese and Mexican spices, fried ants, scorpions, smoked reindeer, moose, crick ets, caterpillar larvae and, of course, monkey brains! We even got a lead on where we could score some brains, from the Q ueer F ood page on a Web site called “Food in Singapore” (members.tripod.com/-zeoy/queer.html): “Rumours say that there is a stall beside Bedok Reservoir that sells monkey brains. We did not go down there to check that place out due to three simple reasons: 1) We do not put much faith in rumours; 2) Bedok is very far from our homes (Bedok is in the East and we are in the West); 3) Nobody in our group is daring enough to eat monkey brains. However, if you happen to visit Bedok or live there, check it out for us.” Pups. But I knew just the guy to contact — our man in Singapore, Brooks. Described by even those fond of him as devious and conniving, Brooks would get to the bottom of this if anybody could. Sure enough, mere hours after send ing him an urgent wire, we got word from him: They eat monkeys in Singapore all right. “There’s a small group of monkeys near a marina on an Indonesian island a short distance from Singapore,” Brooks wrote. He and his wife and their friend Tony “were walking along the pier, minding our own business, and crack — we hear a gun nearby. We look up and the customs guy is pointing a big revolver toward the marina. We freeze then start walking backwards to get behind a big cruiser. C rack again. Then we hear Tony laughing with the customs guys. He says come on up — lunch will be ready in an hour.” Tony translates what happened. “The customs guys shot

a monkey out of the tree. You can’t just shoot a monkey sit ting in a tree, because they don’t fall. They rot up there, hanging on. So first you shoot to get the monkey to jump. Then when he’s scrambling, you shoot him & he’ll fall.” “We don’t see any monkeys in the tree and don’t see one on the ground — we figured he missed and Tony was joking about lunch. A while later as we’re leaving, the Indonesians near the boat shed have a beach fire going and are cooking something in a big pot — and on a tree we see a monkey skin.” “The driver taking us to the ferry terminal tells us that monkey meat is good. The brains are eaten raw, but he doesn’t eat monkey ever since he saw one skinned — skinned ones look exactly like human babies!” OK, so they weren’t eating the brains. But we’ve estab lished that Asians eat monkeys they’ve killed on the spot. Inquiring later, Brooks was told that while consumption of monkey brains is now generally illegal, the Chinese still eat them whenever they can get away with it. What’s more, he had a friend, D., whose father, a baba (ethnic Chinese), had witnessed monkey brains being eaten himself. Here’s what D. says his father told him: “The monkey’s head was supported by its neck in a bracket, two pieces of wood with a semicircular hole on each side such that when you put them together, they form a complete circle around the animal’s neck, allowing the head to be exposed above the plank. The hair around the head is shaven with a shaving razor. A small chisel and a hammer is used to quickly chisel 8 a circle around the crown, and the top part of the skull is removed. A teaspoon is used to scoop up the brain, which is immediately eaten. This has to be done before the monkey dies.” According to D., this happened in 1948 or ’49. Pops, now deceased, was an eyewitness but didn’t say whether he’d partaken of the brains himself. Possibly he was jerking his kid around, but I’ve heard enough similar stories to make me think this is legit. Brooks, at any rate, remains on the case. We’ll let you know what else we find out. — CECIL ADAMS

The planning ■ commission development review board shall base its decisions with respect to consideration of preliminary plats and final plats for subdivisions on whether the proposed subdi vision meets the general and specific review criteria set forth in this section. (a) General review criteria: The following general stan dards shall apply to all pro posals for subdivision devel opment: (1) Subdivisions shall con form to the zoning regula tions, official map and shall: (A) - (K) As written. Any of these criteria, with the exception of i., may be waived by the planning com mission development review board for residential devel opments containing less than five (5) dwelling units. (2) As written. (3) A proposed subdivision shall not be approved if, despite completion by the subdivider of the specific requirements set out in this chapter, its development would render the below list ed existing municipal ser vices in-adequate and over burdened: (A)- (E) As written. The planning commission development review board shall not disapprove an application for preliminary or final plat approval on the basis of the general review criteria of this section in the

absence of evidence estab lishing that the proposed subdivision would not be in compliance therewith. The subdivider shall not bear the burden of proof with respect to such general review crite ria. (4) Higher standard covenants: In the event a request for preliminary plat approval is disapproved on the basis of evidence pre sented establishing that despite completion of all specific requirements, one or more of the general review criteria would not be met, the planning eommiooion development review board and the subdivider may, if in the judgment of the commisboard all general review criteria could be met there by, enter into a covenant to the effect that development will be completed according to specifically delineated cri teria more detailed and/or stringent than the specific review criteria set forth in this chapter. Such covenant must be approved by the city attorney as to its form and legal sufficiency. If such a covenant is executed it shall be submitted by the subdi vider with his application for final plat approval and be considered a part of the record at the public hearing. Should a final plat be approved for such a subdivi sion, all sections of this chapter relating to perfor mance obligations and per formance security shall be applicable to the conditions of such higher standard covenant. (5) Phased development: Should the planning Gon* miooion development review board determine, on the basis of evidence presented with respect to an applica tion for either preliminary or final plat approval, that one or more of the general review criteria of this section would not be met unless develop ment of the subdivision was phased over a number of years, the commission board shall have authority to approve a plot on the basis of a covenant with the sub divider providing that devel opment will be phased over the number of years required to meet such general review criteria. Upon final plat approval, failure by a subdi vider to comply with the terms of such a phased development covenant shall constitute a violation of this section, and such final plat approval for subdivision development shall be null and void. (b) Specific review criteria: In addition to the general review criteria set forth in subsection (a) hereof, the below set forth specific review criteria shall apply to all proposals for subdivision development. All improve ments required as a part of such specific review criteria shall be made at the sole expense of the subdivider. (1) As written. (2) Lots and blocks: (A) Lots-Planning and design standards: Residential lots shall meet the lot width, frontage and area require ments of the Burlington Zoning Ordinance, as amended, and shall be arranged so that there will be no foreseeable difficulties in securing building permits and gaining access to build-' ings from streets. The subdi vision plat shall provide each lot with satisfactory access to a public street and no dri veway grade shall exceed ten per cent ( 1 0 %). Where practicable, lots shall be so laid out that driveways have access to the abutting street which carries or is intended to carry the lessor

amount of traffic. Access from private streets shall be deemed acceptable only if such streets are designed and improved in accordance with this chapter. Side lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to street lines, unless in the judgment of the commissieft board, a variation will give a better street or lot plan. Corner lots shall be of sufficient dimen sions so that any structure placed thereon shall conform to the building setback requirements of each street as specified in the zoning ordinance. (B) Blocks-Planning and design standards: No specif ic rule concerning the shape of blocks is made, but blocks must fit readily into the overall plan of the subdi vision and their design must evidence consideration of topographical conditions, lot planning, traffic flow, and public open space areas. The length, width and shape of blocks shall be deter mined with due regard to: (I) - (IV) As written. Blocks intended for commer cial, industrial, and institu tional use must be designat ed as such. Where a subdivi sion borders on or contains a railroad right-of-way or limit ed access thoroughfare, the planning commls&teft devel opment review board mav require a street approximate ly parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the inter vening land, as for a park, deep residential lots backing to railroad or arterial street with a planting screen in a no access area at rear prop erty lines of lots, or for motor vehicle parking for business or industry with due regard for the require ment of approach grades and future grade separa tions. (3) Streets: (A) Planning standards: (I) - (III) As written. (IV) Curbs shall meet all requirements for access by the handicapped as are and may be established by the board of street public works commissioners. (V-VI) As written. (VII) Where a tract is subdi vided into lots much larger than the minimum size required in the zoning dis trict in which a subdivision is located, the planning commission development review board may require that streets and lots be laid out to permit future resubdi vision. (VIII) Where the subdivision borders on an existing street and the comprehensive mas ter plan or official map indi cates plans for realignment or widening of the street that would require reservation of some land of the subdivi sion, the commission board shall require that such areas be shown and marked on the final plat “reserved for street realignment (or widening) purposes”, and not be con veyed as a part of any lot. (IX) As written. (X) Intersections of major, streets by other streets shall be held to a minimum and shall be at least eight hun dred (800) feet apart, unless this is determined by the commission board as impos sible with respect to a par ticular intersection. Cross street intersections shall be avoided, except at important traffic intersections. A dis tance of at least one hun dred twenty-five (125) feet shall be maintained between offset intersections. Within one hundred ( 10 0 ) feet of an intersection right-of-way, streets shall be approximate ly at right angles.

(XI) Alleys may be required at the rear of all lots used for multifamily, commercial or industrial developments but shall not be provided in one or two-family residential developments unless the subdivider provides evidence satisfactory to the planning commission development review board of the need for alleys. (XII) As written. (XIII) Dead-end streets shall have a maximum length of nine hundred (900) feet and shall be constructed with a cul-de-sac at the terminus with a minimum diameter of eighty (80) feet unless the eommiooion board approves an equally safe and conve nient form of turning space. The minimum widths and standards for right-of-way, pavements, sidewalks, utili ties, etc. required of a local street shall also apply to a dead-end street. (XIV) Where undeveloped land lies beyond the devel oped portion of the subdivi sion, no building permit shall be issued for the lot located on the extension of a cul-de-sac or dead-end street unless the commission board is satisfied that said street shall remain a perma nent dead-end street. (XV) lf adjacent property is undeveloped and in the opinion of the planning com mission development review board the cul-de-sac is tem porary, right-of-way and improvements shall be extended to the property line. A temporary circular turn-around shall be provid ed on all temporary dead end streets meeting the standards set in paragraph (XIII) above, with the nota tion on the plat that land outside the street right-ofway shall be conveyed to the owners of abutting lots at the time the street is contin ued. (B) As written. (C) Construction standards: All street improvements shall be installed at the expense of the subdivider. The follow ing specifications shall con stitute the minimum stan dards for construction and improvement of streets: (I) As written. (II) Base course: Road beds shall have a minimum of twelve ( 1 2 ) inches of select ed fill material in compli ance with the minimum specifications of the board of street public works com missioners. Where subsur face soils prove to be satis factory to support the sub base, the city engineer may require the subdivider to excavate deeper and add more than the twelve ( 1 2 ) inch minimum of gravel to return the road bed to proper grade. ( I II ) -(IV ) As written. (V) Sidewalks: Sidewalks shall be installed on each side of all streets within the proposed subdivision except: A. If the planning commis■ sion development review board and the city council shall determine by resolu tions passed prior to the public hearing on a final plat that the construction of side walks on one side of a pro posed street would be impractical and unnecessary, the requirement of sidewalks on such side may be waived by the planning-oommiooion development review board. For minor subdivisions, including those of ten ( 1 0 ) units or less, a resolution by the city council shall not be required. B. With respect to a pro posed street recommended for acceptance by the city engineer, the requirements of sidewalks and/or curbings may be waived if the plao-

ning commission develop ment review board and the city council shall determine by resolution passed prior to the public hearing on a final plat that the foreseeable future development of the area served by such pro posed street does not require such improvements. For minor subdivisions, includ ing those of ten ( 1 0 ) units or less, these requirements may be waived by resolution of the planning-eommissioo development review board upon consent of the city engineer. The minimum widths of sidewalks shall be five (5) feet for all residen tial, commercial and indus trial areas. Sidewalks shall have at least a five-inch wearing course, except that through driveways and other areas subject to vehicular traffic shall be at least six (6 ) inches thick, laid on a compacted bed of gravel at least six (6 ) inches deep. Concrete shall have a mini mum twenty-eight (28) day compressive strength of four thousand (4,000) PSI. All sidewalks shall have onequarter-inch per foot slope towards the street to provide proper drainage. The mini mum tree belt width (dis tance between the curb and edge of the sidewalk) shall be seven (7) feet. Tree belts shall have a minimum of six ( 6 ) inches of top soil and an established turf of a mix approved by the board of parks and recreation com missioners. Provided, the planning commission devel opment review board may waive the seven-foot tree belt width requirement if it finds that unique physical factors are present which render such requirement impracticable. (4) Subsurface improve ments: (A) Storm water drainage: Provision shall be made for storm sewer mains, catchbasin and manholes of a size, type and location approved by the board of street public works commissioners. The same shall be a separate system from the sanitary sewer mains, and shall be connected to an adequate outfall, without creating a hardship on low land owners. Such sewers shall provide for an exten sion to land lying within the upland drainage area, whether such land is within the subdivision or not. Storm sewers shall be designed by the rational method, and copies of the design compu tations shall be submitted with the plans. Inlets shall be provided so that surface water is not carried across or around any intersection, nor for a distance in excess of three hundred (300) feet in any gutter. Said board may, upon advice of the city engi neer, require catchbasins at closer intervals if topographi cal conditions so warrant. Rights-of-way for storm water drainage must be sufficient for facilities to handle not only the anticipated dis charge from the property being subdivided but also the run-off that will occur when property at a higher elevation in the drainage basin is developed, based on a ten-year storm under con ditions of total potential development. In cases where run-off incident to develop ment of the subdivision will overload existing drainage facilities during a ten-year storm, the planning commis sion development review board shall not approve the subdivision until provision has been made for improve ment of the downstream facilities. Where a subdivi sion is traversed by a water

► le g a l s course or drainage way, there shall be provided a storm water drainage easement of such width as to encompass the twenty-five-year flood area of such water course, which easement shall be indicated on.the final plat. (B) Sanitary sewage dispos al: Provision shall be made for construction of a sanitary sewer system of a size, type and location approved by the sowaeo dispooal public works commission. The fol

lowing requirements shall likewise be met: (I) Asbestos cement (AC) or other pipes approved by the cowaco (disposal public works commission, having

minimum internal diameter of eight (8 ) inches, shall be laid at such depths below finished grade so as to pro vide adequate sewage facili ties to every dwelling and other structure. Larger pipes may be required where need ed to provide an adequate system. Pipe fittings shall be made by John Mansfield or interchangeable with the same brand. (II) Where possible, the sani tary sewer mains shall be served by gravity flow sys tem. In cases where the topography is such that all or a portion of the subdivi sion cannot be accommodat ed by gravity flow, the subdi vider shall install and main tain a lift station to efficient ly dispose of all sanitary waste into the existing sewer system. The lift station shall be of a design and capacity to adequately serve the development and be approved by the sewago dis poeal public works commis sion. All force mains leading from the pumping station shall be made of cast iron and shall be of a size approved by the sewago dis pesal public works commis sion. Upon the date of release of the performance bond, as hereinafter set forth, the city shall be con veyed and shall assume own ership and maintenance of any such pumping station. (III) - (IV) As written. (C) Water supply: A public water supply system shall be installed of a kind, type and location approved by the board of wator public works commissioners. The follow ing requirements shall like wise be met: (I) - (III) As written. (D) As written. (E) Other public utilities: (I) Subdivider shall be responsible for the provision of electric, telephone, fire alarm, cable television and gas lines to a subdivision unless the planning c-emmis eiftft development review board shall determine, after either the preliminary or final plat public hearing, that any one or more of such services is not reasonably available to or necessary for such subdivision. All such lines, with the exception of fire alarm cables which shall be installed at subdivider’s expense, shall be installed at the expense of the applica ble utility. The subdivider shall place all such lines underground. All electric power transformers shall, as determined by the electric department be placed under ground in vaults or on ground level concrete pads of a type approved and inspected by said depart ment. Further, if the required transformer can be mounted on existing power poles, such above ground location shall be permissible provided all wires and con duits to the service use point are placed underground. The placement of all such lines shall be within easements or other dedicated public ways

so as not to conflict with other underground services. All utility lines listed above shall be placed within street rights-of-way unless the planning commiooion devel opment review board shall determine, with respect to any such line, that existing physical conditions make it impracticable to do so. In cases where such impracti cability is determined, said utilities shall be centered and located on rear or side lot lines. (II) As written. (5) Easements: All ease ments which are required for the provision of utility ser vices within a subdivision shall be at least twenty ( 2 0 ) feet in width, unless the eteftftins comm isoion devel opment review board shall determine that a lesser width is required for a par ticular purpose. The piaftmne-commiosion develop ment review board may require easements for pedes trian access to schools, pub lic open space, playgrounds or streets when in its judg ment the same are neces sary. Such easements shall be a minimum of five (5) feet in width and paved by the subdivider in accordance with the specifications for sidewalks. At the end of all dead-end streets a subdi vider shall dedicate a twenty ( 2 0 ) foot easement to the city for provision of storm drains to carry street run-off, snow placement and for future looping of utility ser vices. (6 ) As written. (7) Street names and house numbers: (A) Street names: All street names shall be subject to planning commission devel opment review board approval. Extensions of exist ing streets shall be given the name of the existing street. Names of new streets shall not duplicate or closely approximate those of exist ing streets. Street name signs shall be furnished and installed by the subdivider. The type, size and location thereof shall be subject to planning c-emfntssion devel opment review board approval. (B) As written. (8 ) Land for park and recre ational purposes: Whenever approval is sought for devel opment of a subdivision exceeding three (3) acres in area, the planning cemmis sie» development review board shall require, as a condition of its approval, that an area or areas com prising in total no more than fifteen (15) per cent of the subdivision land area be reserved for use as a park or parks for playground or other recreation purposes. Land set aside for such use shall be so designated on the sub division plat. Upon comple tion of the subdivision, such areas may be dedicated to the city by the subdivider and if accepted by the city council, shall be maintained by the city. If dedication is not made or such lands are not accepted by the city council, such lands shall be maintained by the subdivider for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date of subdivision final plat approval in accordance with regulations promulgated or adopted by the planning commission development review board to assure preservation of such lands for their intended purpose. Such conditions shall be inserted on the final plat prior to approval and record ing. Provided, however, that should the planning commio area development review board determine that a suit

able park or parks of ade quate size cannot be proper ly located in any such plat or is otherwise not practicable, the planning commission development review board may require as a condition to the approval of such plat a payment to the city in an amount determined by the city council, which amount shall be appropriated by said city council so as to serve the needs of the surrounding area including, without limi tation, the needs for acquisi tion of property for a neigh borhood park, playground or other recreational purposes. (9) As written. (10) Performance bond: (A) Necessity: Prior to approval of any final plat, a subdivider shall file with the planning commission devel opment review board and with the city clerk for record ing, a covenant, running with the land, committing such subdivider to complete all improvements required by the commission board pur suant to this chapter within a maximum period of three (3) years from the date of final plat approval. Such covenant shall be secured by either a performance bond or a deposit of money or nego tiable securities filed with the commission board. The amount of such bond, money or negotiable securities (security deposit) shall be determined by the commis st©ft board, upon consulta tion with the city engineer and affected city depart ments, and shall be based upon the estimated cost of such improvements, plus a ten per cent ( 1 0 %) contin gency factor and the esti mated maintenance cost for such improvements for a period of two (2 ) years fol lowing their completion, if a performance bond is filed, the penal sum of such bond shall be one hundred per cent ( 10 0 %) of the above determined amount. The bond shall be approved as to legal sufficiency, form and manner of execution by the city attorney and as to sureties by the city treasurer. If money or negotiable secu rities are filed, the necessary sum shall be fifteen per cent (15% ) of such above deter mined amount. (B) Reduction: As a subdi vider shall complete any one or more of the required improvements, and such completion is certified by the commission board after inspection by appropriate city departments, the emomiooion board may permit a corresponding reduction in the amount of security required under subparagraph (A) hereof. The subdivider shall inform the administra tive officer at least fortyeight (48) hours prior to completion of any improve ment so that arrangements for proper inspection thereof can be made. No part of any improvement shall be cov ered over until such inspec tion is made and completion of such improvement is cer tified. In no event, however, shall such security be reduced below the amount required to cover the ten per cent ( 1 0 %) contingency fac tor and the estimated twoyear maintenance cost. (C) Certification of final completion: The planning commission development review board or its designee shall issue a certificate of final completion when it is satisfied, after appropriate inspections, that all improve ments required by it under authority of this chapter have been completed by the subdivider, and the “as-built drawings” required by sec tion 28-9 hereof have been

Upon the issuance thereof, all security deposits required shall be released except the amount required for the issuance thereof, all security deposits required shall be released except the amount required for the ten ( 1 0 ) per cent contingency factor and the estimated two-year mainte nance cost. Such remaining amount shall be released two ( 2 ) years from the date such final completion certifi cate is issued, unless all or any portion thereof has been previously forfeited or is required for necessary main tenance work which arises prior to the expiration of such period. (D) Forfeiture: In the event any required improvements are not completed within the maximum period allowed, or are not maintained as required, such security deposit may be declared for feit by the planning commio ftiftft development review board, and the proceeds thereof utilized by the city to complete such improve ments, maintenance or “asbuilt drawings”. (Ord. of 4-22-74; Ord. of 512-86; Ord. of 6-12-89) Sec. 28-8. As written. Sec. 28-9. As-built draw ings.

One reproducible set of drawings showing the loca tion of all required improve ments as-built shall be certi fied by an engineer or land surveyor and filed with the planning commission devel opment review board prior to the issuance of any cer tificate of final completion (Ord. of 4-22-74) Sec. 28-10. Dedication and acceptance of public facili ties.

(a) Contract required. Prior to approval of any final plat, the planning commission development review board shall require a subdivider to execute a contract pledging to dedicate and convey to the city all property lying within each street right-ofway to be constructed, all land designated for park and/or recreational use and all improvements which by virture of section 28-7 will after a specified period of time, become the property of the city. Such contracts may be executed on behalf of the city by the planning commio sieft development review board chairman when duly authorized so to do by his commission board. The city attorney shall approve all documents as to legal suffi ciency, form amd manner of execution. (b) Private status. Notwithstanding the execu tion of any contract requiring future dedication under sub section (a) hereof, all pro posed streets, park and/or recreational lands and improvements shall remain the private property of subdi vider until the same have been formally accepted by the city council. Furthermore, final plat approval by the planning eommission development review board shall not be deemed to constitute or imply acceptance by said city council. No city depart ment shall install any improvement within an unaccepted street right-ofway until the contract required by this section and the performance bond required by section 28-7(b) ( 1 1 ) have been filed with the commission board. (c) As written. (d) Previously developed streets. Any provision of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the city council may in its discretion, after public hearing warned

as per subsection (c) hereof, accept a street the develop ment of which shall have been substantially complet ed prior to the effective date hereof, and which shall be recommended for accep tance by the city engineer and the planning comm+S' sieft-development review board. (Ord. of 4-22-74) Sec. 28-11. Waivers.

Where the planning commis stftft development review board and the city council both specifically find by res olution, after a single sepa rate and distinct public hearing warned in the same manner as for all other pub lic hearings hereunder on the question of whether a waiver should be granted, that due to the special cir cumstances of a particular plat, or because of excep tional or unique conditions of topography, access, loca tion, shape, size, drainage or other physical features of the site, provision of any one or more of the required improvements under this chapter is not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety or general wel fare, or is unappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or proximate to the proposed subdivision, it may waive such requirement(s) subject to appropriate condi tions. Such conditions must, in the judgment of the eemmission board, substantially secure the objectives of the requirements so waived. No such waiver may be granted if it would have the effect of nullifying the intent and pur pose of the zoning regula tions, comprehensive master plan, the official map or this chapter. Where a more spe cific waiver provision is established for any provision of this chapter, this section shall not be applicable. (Ord. of 4-22-74) Supp. No.3 Sec. 28-12.

SEVEN DAYS

ARIES

(Mar, 21-Apr. 19): My friend April, a performance artist who does her shows in natural set tings, recently compiled a 253-page inventory o f all the memories that filled her with guilt and remorse. She then climbed to the top of Mt. Tamalpais and did a dramatic reading of that agonizing text. The rocks and trees were her captive audience. It took her 18 hours. Though I think a similar ritual would be good for you, there’s no need to do 253 pages and 18 hours. A mere 50 pages and four hours would probably be sufficient for you to empty yourself out and clear the way for a whole set o f more interesting problems and more origi nal sins.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): If you’ve never gotten over the humil iation of being cheated on by a lover in the past, you will soon. If a screen play you once wrote was stolen by a major film studio and turned into a high-grossing blockbuster, payback is imminent. And if a demented wizard put a 500-year curse on you two life times ago, you’ll do exactly what it takes to cancel that hex for good. Yes, Taurus, the coming days are likely to bring dramatic corrections in your karmic ledger. Expect reversals that will reinvent your history.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Below you will find three messages. One is an authentic communique from God, which I channeled for you while in ecstatic trance. The other two are stupid fakes that I made up myself. If you are as thoroughly in tune with your inner purpose as I suspect you are right now, you won’t have any trouble knowing which is the true Word of the Lord. Message 1: “I, the Supreme Designer of Heaven and Earth, am royally pissed off. You have been acting as if pro found pleasure is a spiritual emotion! Cut the crap!” 2: “I, remote and unknowable C EO o f the Universe,

couldn’t care less what you do! Don’t bother me!” 3: “I, the Cosmic Jokester who runs all of creation on the fuel of my sublime laughter, am well-entertained by the stories you’ve been living out! Thanks a million!”

LIBRA

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): It will be an excellent week to bicker, grapple, feud, joust, scuffle, spar, brawl and duel — //you’re a PMS-crazed harpy, that is, or a hysterical dude suffering from testosterone-poisoning. But if on the other hand you’re a genteel and emotionally intelligent seeker of truth, it will be prime time to negoti ate, confer, debate, bargain, mediate and compromise. In conclusion, Leo, collaboration may not be easy, but it will be well worth your most strenu ous improvisations. In fact, agree ments hammered out now could last a lifetime.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Picture five nuns who take over an abandoned medieval castle and set up a gambling den. Visualize a man traveling across the length of the country clad only in neon green underwear in order to win a huge bet. Imagine two lovers who discover a lost civilization as they ramble through a remote jungle. As you carry out these exercises, Scorpio, you will get a feel for the kind of spirit I rec ommend you bring to yoiir own pro

jects this week. (And by the way, do not picture a time-traveling private detective who tangles with zombie stockbrokers.)

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you must drink to excess this week, please use kosher vodka. There’ll be less o f a hangover. And if you really must drive too fast while bellowing sappy songs off-key through your tears, I will ask you to do it in a simulated auto-race game at an arcade, not in an actual car. Let me make it clear that I have nothing against you expressing extreme urges. In fact, I’m all for it. But please arrange to do it in a way that is cre ative and expansive, not hackneyed, sentimental or decadent. How about this? Retreat into solitude for two entire days and lovingly relive every memory you’ve ever had, from age 4 until now.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): I regard astrology as more of a tricky art than an exact science. Still, I celebrate the work o f statisti cian Michel Gauquelin, whose research produced hard proof that planetary locations can be correlated with human behavior. Describing the “Mars Effect,” for instance, he noted a significant tendency for champion athletes to have been born when Mars is directly overhead or rising on the eastern horizon. Gauquelin never applied his methods to determine what situations Capricorns might encounter in the second and third weeks o f March 2001. So we’ll never know if he’d agree with my assess ment, which is that you should feed your soul by contemplating reflec tions, such as the moon on the water or a rose in a mirror or the way you appear to other people.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20Teb. 18): Curious blends are Ifthe featured flavors of the week, FAquarius. Unexpected alliances are the lucky X-factors. Experiments in hybridization might produce won ders just this once, even though they’ve never been useful or possible before. Therefore, I exhort you to mix metaphors like a cowboy poet at a New Age workshop on tantric sex, and don’t be afraid to wear paisley and plaid simultaneously. I, for one, won’t laugh at you if you start build ing a bridge over a gaping chasm even if the other side is still obscured by clouds.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You taste delicious. The funny faces you make are interesting to look at. Animals understand you. Your impor tance is unusual. You fight for power in all the right ways. A lost tribe salutes you from the other side of the veil. You have strong feet. It is hard to have sex while cooking dinner, but you can do it well. You remind me of a star. No one can overflow as well as you can. You are famous with God. Gratitude radiates from you. You have a secret life in your dreams. Time is even now changing the way it treats you. You belong to yourself. ® You can call Rob Braxsny, day or night for your

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The first 10 weeks of 2001 have been brought to you by The Anarchists’ Coloring Book, for generous trouble makers who hate to color inside the lines. This next week is brought to you by The Equalizers — smooth, beautiful stones meant to be thrown at heaven. They’re recommended for all your tussles with higher powers, whether you’re wrestling with fallen angels or awakening from a dream of God pulling down your pants in pub lic. This week is also brought to you by the Do-It-Yourself Fortune-Telling Kit, which helps you concoct your very own Free Will Astrology oracles. Why depend on any “expert” at all, even a benign one like myself, when you can be your own guru?

sauna, enjoyed a deep tissue massage, slowly feasted on gourmet organic cuisine and cuddled with my cute Virgo consort. Right about now I’m feeling exactly the way I wish you would make yourself feel. I’m not just trying to be nice. My concern is very practical. Usually your mind is so relentlessly agile that you can get away with ignoring your body for days at a time. But this week your IQ will rise and fall in direct proportion to how faithfully you hear and obey your body’s needs.

(June 21-July 22): You know how they always says, “Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it”? The implicit warning is that you can’t foresee the new demands that will be made on you once your wish comes true. Normally I think that’s decent advice (even if it has been co-opted by the Chicken Soup fo r the Soul crowd), but not now. Do not be careful what you wish for this week, Cancerian. On the contrary, I dare you to cry out for the fulfillment o f your most feral and fertile fantasies. Refuse to entertain even one fearful thought as you reveal to yourself all the monstrously beauti ful desires that have been festering in the hiding place at the bottom of your soul. Here’s your battle cry, courtesy o f Kenneth Patchen: “This is the evening o f the two-fisted prayer.”

Dear Lola, I ’m madly in love with "Jayne,” a woman I work with. I think about her all the time, tee the world through a lens that I imagine are her eyes, and fantasize about her when I make love. We’re very close triends, and spend a lot ct time together both on the job and oft- Our spouses are also on triendly terms, and the tour ct us 0tten pal around/together. When y I ’ve hinted at my obses sion, Jayne immediately reinterprets my remarks as declarations ct pure triendship. To change the terms ct our relationship would be devastating ter lots ct people. But I ’m territied that one day I ’ll break down, tell all and destroy everything. What to do? Bursting in Burlington Dear Bursting, Sounds like you need a little breathing space. Cut back on your extracurricular activities with Jayne, and devote that time and energy to your spouse. When you teel Jayne creeping into f your consciousness, try j to replace your inappre- ; priate fantasy with the * "lens” of friendship she \ has very sensibly previd- • ed. Love, £
