ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUI TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Loophole of the Week After Cheryl Newton was accused of leaving a supermarket in Rutland, Vermont, without paying for doughnuts, batteries, cigarettes and videotapes, authorities reduced the charge of retail theft: from a felony to a misdemeanor when the public defender representing her noted that some of the items were on sale the day of the incident. As a result, the items' value of $ 101.49 was lowered to $97.37, which is below Vermont's felony level of $100, reducing the possible sentence from 10 years in jail to six months.

Revenge off the Species The rats that consume onethird of Tanzania's corn crop have been significantly reduced by the recent arrival of red-andblack snakes. However, the farmers are so frightened by the snakes, which measure up to 13 feet long and coil around corn stalks waiting to attack the rodents, that many have begun setting fires around their property to keep out the snakes, even though they risk losing their crops to rats. • After a 63-foot Norwegian fishing trawler netted a huge catch of herring, the crew tried to haul in the net, but the

KURTH RIGHT ON Kudos to Seven Days for having Peter Kurth on staff — especially his piece, "Smoke Alarm" (February 18) — right on. When we want a meal — Oasis, Mona's, NECI, etc. When we want a relaxed evening out — Daily Planet, Cactus, Red Square...the atmosphere in the latter group is relaxed and undemanding and the food is first-rate. -— David K. Carnahan Burlington

D O N ' T FEAR PROTEST Considering that, according to UNICEF's (conservative) figures, hundreds of thousands of civilians have died, 1991-present, as a result of U.S. bombing, should we really be afraid of the demonstrations of the people who protest such actions? Mr. Alexander Hirka's letter (February 25) of late evidence this alleged

It appears the group's main criminal act, according to the letter, was being determined to create tension. God forbid, not that! I mean, its not as if hundreds of ^ thousands of civilians were killed ^^^^ by the effects of the so-called ^ ^ Gulf War. Millions of U.S. citizens treated the Gulf War like a CNN mini-series, but rest assured that the bombs dropped on electrical facilities and sewage treatment plants did more than just create tension. One doesn't even have to start espousing any DWEM-based the-end-justifiesthe-means philosophy to justify the individual acts of concerned Burlington citizens on city streets. The letter futilely applies rigid social precepts and economic principles to a politically left (to be overly simplistic) event. Why any anti-establishment protester would aspire to sell anyone on the issues (much less heed conformist or capitalist marketing principles) is beyond me. Here is a group with a truly noble goal (preventing the further slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent people), and the author takes issue with a protester's tone of voice! I seriously doubt the revolution will be spoon-fed, nor will it conform to notions of capitalist market economics, nor will it be photogenic. I do not expect the approval of the institutions for rebellion. Rebellion against institutions is not necessarily geared to sell itself in any way anyone would think significant. What I saw is people motivated by moral convictions struggling to do whatever they could to stop the ^^ ^ ^ J ^K^r

governmental policy of actions without regard for human life. As long as we use our media opportunities to badmouth free speech and lavish our disapproval in an ideologically dismissive way, we are wasting precious resources. I'd like to have hope for our future. But, with the militarist governmental framework and its civil apologists, my search is often hindered. In an age when "revolution" is simply a song in a Nike commercial, simply one of the thousands of sell-out acts, let's take the time to appreciate those people who go out of their way, not to selfishly reap the untold benefits of mainstream approval, but those gadflies out there who work for the common good. — Jeffrey Nelson Burlington

'CAN-DO' POWER The co-incidence of your recent women's issue (February 25), the 25th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade and the 25th anniversary of the Vermont Women's Health Center inspired me to share some thoughts. Burlington in 1972 was an exciting place to be. From the burned-out shells of Strong Hardware, St. Paul's and other arsons' victims of urban renewal, many Burlington institutions took root: Community Health Center, Burlington College, Onion River Coop and the VWHC. Vermont preceded most of the nation in knocking down its antiquated abortion law. In the vacuum which followed, an unlikely alliance of health professionals, clergy, "hippie" communards, legislators, lawyers and community-minded benefactors and volunteers joined forces to birth a facility to provide safe, legal, affordable, informed abortions. Dialogue during that summer widened the vision to include a full-service health center for women. The raw "can do" power of that experience inspired and influenced many and spawned numerous careers and businesses, including my own, Daily Bread [Bakery, in Richmond]. VWHC's presence has improved health care at all levels of service, not only in Vermont, but across the nation and around the world...No one plans to have an abortion. Many couples gamble through ignorance and common human frailty that "it won't happen to us." While billions are spent to build bombers, there is still no 100 percent effective, safe, user-friendly contraceptive. So, whether we support abortion or not, our culture requires its availability. I give thanks to the women and men who have staffed and supported VWHC through the years, who at times have literally laid their lives on the line... — Betsy Bott letters Policy: SEVEN DAYS wants your rants and raves, in 250 words or less.

iSCREECHER'S REBELLION! | The 1998 congressional race is underway I with Democratic convert Jack Long filling the ® Republican role played by Susan Sweetser in i 1996. Sweetser got crushed by Bernie Sanders | and her own tactics. Apparently she still hasn't | gotten over it. Inside Track has obtained a two-page letter * she recently sent to Adelphia i Cable chastising the company | for its public access program| ming and righteously refusing g to pay her 62 cents-a-month ® public access fee! 1 Susie Creamcheese charges | Ch. 15 producer Ken Millette with defamation for comments he made on his "What's It To Ya" program (which has been off the air for over a year but returns this Friday at 8 p.m.). "During my congressional campaign, Mr. Millette ran shows defaming me and then defaming my children. I felt very strongly that Mr. Millette's vile, hateful comments were putting my children in danger," she writes. Sweetser complained, and all she got was "a snide letter from Lori Murphy, the person who runs Ch. 15." Murphy says she "regrets" Sweetser found the letter "snide. She says she offered Sweetser equal time, and even ran Sweetser's own half-hour program with Jim Douglas twice for every time Millette's onehour "What's It To Ya'" aired. Millette, the guy who produces the litter shows — i.e., kittens and puppies — tells Inside Track, "the charge her kids were in danger would be laughable if it wasn't so sad to see her using them to further her agenda. I don't see where calling her campaign baby 'the spawn of Satan' could be construed as anything but tasteless humor." He insists everything he did "was done in a satirical manner. It may be amateurish, but it's still satire." Screecher, sorry, Sweetser also leveled both barrels at Ch. 17 Town Meeting Television. She charges "Ch. 17 has become Progressive TV." Channel Manager Nat Ayer says the charge "is just not true and we have the logs to prove it." A check of the logs for January and February indicate a broad spectrum of political persuasions received airtime. In addition to hours and hours of city council and selectboard meetings, Ch. 17 aired 10 hours of GOP-TV produced by the Vermont Republican Party. Gov. Dean's press conferences got 28 hours of airtime. Burlap's GOP city councilors were on for five hours. Their Democratic rivals got a half-hour less. Bernie Sanders' press conferences were on for five hours. Pat Leahy was on for four. In January, a year-old five-and-a-half-hour Washington Progressive Forum, which included many Democrats, ran six times. And 15 hours in February were devoted to another D.C. forum on the Asian bailout, which attracted Ol' Bernardo and his Republican allies. Add in the Progressive and Democratic legislative updates, and the Republican and Democratic caucuses, and, let's see, that's 49 hours of "progressive" programming compared to 59 hours devoted to Ds and Rs. All for 62 cents a month. C'mon Susie Creamcheese. You lost. Get over it! Rome Alert! — GOP gubernatorial candidate Bernie Rome may be a novice in state politics, but he's got excellent political instincts. Witness his assault on Governor Howard Dean on Monday's "Mark Johnson Show" on local talk | radio. Bernie II laced into Ho-Ho's soft flank i on the subject of his officially abandoned presitjj dential quest.

"Whether he still intends to run for

President or not is irrelevant," said Rome Dome. "The fact of the matter is he spent a good year trying to do it and thinking about how to do it, and that certainly indicates the level of distraction and loss of interest in his [current] job." Has a certain bull's-eye ring to it. Rome says | Ho-Ho has lost interest in being governor. "It's run its course for him and he's obviously looking for something else," says the challenger. By the way, Dr. Dean has decided not to respond to Mr. Rome's comments until after the legislative session. Guess he likes being a punching bag. Endgame Politics? — That "endgame" feeling was in the air last week when Sen. Elizabeth Ready's bill to make the leopard g frog Vermont's state amphibian was pulled off the House floor and sent to the House Natural Resources Committee. Was there a message there for Chainsaw Liz? Namely that the House would like to see the • • I beloved chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee remove the septic bill, H. 206, from her committee's wall and ^ ^ W move it to the floor for action? Mm Coincidentally, the sponsor of ^ ^ H. 206 is the chairman of the I House Natural Resources Committee himself, David Deen. Deen denies he was taking Chainsaw Liz's frog bill "hostage" because of her inaction on his septic bill. "That's not a good connection," Chairman Deen insists. "Saddam Hussein holds kids as protective shields or as hostages. I don't." Says Ready, 'If Deen's waiting for his septic bill, he'll going to hav£|Jc$ of frogs on : wall." Says Deen, "We'll take it in and vote it out. 1 It'll come in the natural course of business." Says one member of Deen's committee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, "Vermont already has a state reptile — Sen. Elizabeth Ready." Yo, pass the salamanders and Grey Poupon, please. Good News for Dish People — Over the last four years about 10,000 people who subscribe to satellite television services like DirectTV have received unpleasant letters from WCAXTV general manager Peter Martin "challenging" their reception of a CBS signal from somewhere else. Under the law, dish owners who are § able to pick up at least a "grade B" Ch. 3 signal | over the air cannot legally receive another CBS station through their dish. Satellite viewers, says Martin, "have been at a competitive disadvantage with cable." Cable systems, he notes, are required to carry local stations. But that may be changing, thanks to U.S. Sens. Patrick J. Leahy and Orrin Hatch. Their proposed Satellite Home Viewing Act would allow satellite providers to offer signals from local stations to their entire viewing audiences and level the playing field with cable television systems. "In theory," says Martin, "we have no argument with that." Russian Press — Howard Deans recent weekly | press conference was graced by the presence of a g real live Russian journalist. Larissa Semenova, from Novosibirsk in western Siberia, is on a five-week visit to the United States. After the | press conference she was granted a brief audi| ence with Ho-Ho, and the first question out of « her mouth was, "Do you come from a rich family?" I Dean got a little red in the face. Damn Russkies. He politely replied that his family wasn't that rich. "Uh...not as rich as the Kennedys," Dean said. What a relief. ©

in a bit of a pickle over a poem she penned for a Swedish vodka manufacturer. The Middlebury writer responded to an invite to contribute to a new Absolut ad campaign — and the result, entitled "Absolut Alvarez," has outraged the right-wing Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Alvarez's short story, inspired by those roadside shrines popular in her native Dominican Republic, is published in full-page, four-color glory in the March issue of Vogue. In the magic realist style of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, it tells of an imagined island encounter with a poser priest who keeps a certain brand of vodka bottle on his altar. Asked about the origin of the so-called sacred receptacle, Alvarez writes: "That is Latin for God Almighty Absolut Absolutorum he said in Pig Latin from the playground, spreading his arms as if having said the magic words he could now take off into the sky." In the process of discrediting his holiness, Alvarez also describes "the chalice that looked like a wineglass, the oilcloth altarcloth with slices of pink watermelon . . . and the precious ciborium full of what looked like everybody's least favorite Easter candy." The Catholics read that as an "exploitation of the... sacrament of Holy Eucharist," according to a press release sent to the news editor of the New York Post demanding the ad be pulled. "And to do this during Lent is particularly offensive," the statement added. In the original version of the poem, Alvarez compared the bogus host to a Necco wafer, but she had to make it generic when the candy company objected. "Now the Catholics are after me," says Alvarez. Guess authoring and advertising don't mix as well as vodka and tonic.

BEST BURGS:

Burlington scores a stunning seventh in the second edition of The 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America. But in the new edition, due out in August, "there's a good chance it will move up in the ranking," says author J o h n V i l l a n i . The ^ r Santa Fe-based travel writer was in the Queen City Monday speaking about cultural tourism and downtown development. Since his last visit, Villani notes, the visual arts scene in Burlington has strengthened and there are more "alternative spaces." He is equally enthused by government programs like "First Fridays," a Burlington City Arts innovation that, beginning in April, will link coinciding monthly gallery openings with free trolley service, h l a h t t Hop. Villani sums up his book as a guide for the "cultured tourist looking for first-class, affordable art in unexpected places." Similarly, the forthcoming edition holds some surprises. Montpelier makes the Vermont list this time, but Middlebury, Woodstock and Johnson don't.

STAGING GROUND:

•

"Quentin Tarantino does Shakespeare" is how one critic described the work of Stephen Spoonamore — the former director a small summer series in rural Montgomery who quit Vermont several years ago for New York. He got his act together, alright. Spoonamore is returning next month for a trial run of his new play, Where Everything is Everything, before it heads off Broadway in June. A creative comment on the dating scene, the play will run in rep for two weeks at Montpelier City Hall with The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. "It's a great fit," says Kathleen Keenan, co-director of the sponsoring Lost Nation Theatre . . . When he is not acting, directing or raising large sums of money to present professional theater in Vermont, Blake Robison and his wife, Connan Morrissey, have been quietly writing a stage version of The Last Station. The first Vanya-style reading came together last week in New York with a lineup of acclaimed actors that definitely turned some heads. Through contacts, Robison recruited Marian Seldes of Three Tall Women, Titanic captain John Cunningham and Michael Cumpsty to read the leads. Middlebury author Jay Parini was similarly psyched to see his biography of Tolstoy come to life . . . Screwed is what Steve Goldberg calls his new play about beautiful losers, but the Burlington musician/playwright himself is in a good place these days. "It saves a lot of hassles," Goldberg says of his new digs above Mr. Mike's Pizza, a.k.a. the Off Center for the Dramatic Arts. Screwed will show there the first weekend in April, with actors Paul Schnabel, Tracy Girdich and Aimee Loiselle. ®

Horowi t z t's early October, and Mortimer and Mabel Morgan, New Jersey malpractice lawyers with no kids, have planned a romantic weekend of leaf-peeping and antiquing at a historic New England bed 6c breakfast. They pull on their Patagonias, throw their Nikons and Visa cards into the Lexus, and head north for the fabulous fall foliage of...Maine. What gives? "Most Vermonters believe that our state is the most beautiful," says Tom Altemus, Vermont's first Commissioner of Marketing and Tourism. "We've stopped sprawl; we're not Lake Winnipesaukee, where they're building new 'historic' inns. But the paradigm has shifted. We may have good product, but it's the person who tells the story best who gets the business." Altemus warns that Vermont tourism is losing ground fast, and unless we change the way we promote ourselves, our second-largest industry — after health care — will be in serious trouble. "In tourism," he says, "you sell the sizzle." If anyone seems like a suitable sizzle salesman, it's the commissioner. With his sharp blue eyes, shiny black wingtips, and propensity to refer to things like crafts studios and covered bridges as "deliverables," the 42year-old Michigander is more Madison Avenue Man than Green Mountain Boy. The son of a naturalist and a botanist, Altemus swears he has Liberal ideology in his "lifeblood." Professionally, he began as a baggage handler and later worked for American Express. He was Director of Tourism for the State of Michigan before coming to Vermont to spearhead the newly redefined Department of Marketing and Tourism. While Altemus' predecessor — the much-respected Bobbe Maynes — was responsible for supporting the state's lodging, dining and recreation sectors, Altemus is charged with coordi-

TRAVELIN' MAN For the Commissioner of Marketing and Tourism> Vermont is a venture

nating all of the state's marketing efforts. Even so, his move from brawny Michigan to puny Vermont bears some explaining. He tells it this way: "My wife and I were stuck in traffic one day and we just looked at each other and said, 'This is it. Let's pick five places we'd rather be, and the first one who gets a job, that's where we'll go."' Tom got the job and came here in May. But his wife Chris, a pharmaceutical consultant, and their daughter Bonnie, a second-grader, have yet to make the move. Altemus drives back to Michigan every other weekend. In good weather, he might take his 1976 gold Matador, one of four AMC cars he proudly keeps. Why AMC? The commissioner smiles. "They were the little guy, remember?" Though he never says so explicitly, it's tempting to draw a parallel between Altemus' quirky fondness for the scrappy David that challenged the Goliath Big Three automakers with his attraction to Vermont: Despite its stellar reputation for unspoiled landscapes, the state is clearly an underdog in the domestic tourism trade. According to Altemus, the true picture of Vermont's tourism crisis is only beginning to emerge. Though official projections place the states hotel

room occupancy rate close to the national standard of 65.7 percent, the commissioner claims that this number is flawed. The real rate, he estimates, is probably closer to 35 percent. With tourism growing 7.6 percent a year nationwide, Vermont's glacial 4 percent growth rate is another red flag. "This is a boom economy, and Vermont tourism is being left out," Altemus warns. "Now even Iowa gets tourists." Why does this matter? Because Vermont relies on tourism dollars more heavily than most states. Our $2.2 billion tourism industry accounts for 8 percent of the state's economic pie — a larger slice than agriculture. By contrast, tourism makes up just 4 percent of Michigan's economy. The Vermont budget depends on $85 million in annual rooms and meals taxes — funds we won't see without tourists. How did we get into this mess? Money. This year, Vermont's entire tourism marketing budget came to $5.1 million. At the same time, Altemus says, the state of Maine has set aside $4.8 million just to promote its autumn colors. New Hampshire spends $22 million for tourism, Quebec shells out $41 million, and New York will plug a whopping $22 million into advertising alone. Howard Dean has proposed a 35 percent increase in Altemus' budget. But last year Maine and New Hampshire doubled their tourism dollars. Weigh in the fact that while Vermont's tourism industry comprises mostly small, locally owned enterprises and little villages with few advertising dollars to spare, other states have wealthier towns and bigger businesses that can easily afford to add their own marketing muscle to state-sponsored efforts. In this atmosphere, it's no wonder folks like the Morgans get tricked into thinking that Maine has the best fall leaves. Fortunately, Altemus says, luring the Morgans back to Vermont isn't merely a matter of matching dollars. "Marketing isn't just a question of spending Continued

TRAVELIN' MAN

Continued from page 7 money," he insists. "Its knowing how to use those dollars." To use ours effectively, he argues, we need to rethink the way we attract tourists. Too many Vermont lodgings still operate on the Vacancy/No Vacancy principle, the commissioner contends. "They hang a sign by the road and wait for the cars to come by." This approach may have been effective 30 years ago, when typical vacationers took two weeks off, drove into a region, and looked for a place to stay once they got there. But today's leisure traveler is more apt to go away for a long weekend, travel by plane, and arrive with a set itinerary. Altemus calls this "the Disneyland mentality," and his Green Mountain marketing plan is designed to play directly into it. Step one is to scrap the generic "Come to Vermont, it's wonderful" approach to advertising and replace it with a unified line of specific, informative, regional promotions. Starting next fall, all state advertising grants will be funneled through 12 Regional Marketing Organizations (RMOs) — cooperatives that will pull together large and

small lodging, dining, recreational, cultural and natural "products." Each RMO will develop its own "signature" packages, preset itineraries designed to entice travelers to stay longer and "experience more of the product" while they're here. Altemus saw this approach work in Southern Michigan, where the state supported "upick" agriculture by packaging it with lodging. "We were able to move a lot more this way," he says. For Vermont, he envisions bird-watching tours, wildflower tours, tours for artist wannabes that include watercolor instruction. Once the product has been packaged, step two is to get the packages to the consumer through car rental agencies, Amtrak and credit card companies, and by direct marketing over the Internet. Building on the interdisciplinary model — established by outgoing Secretary of Commerce and Community Development Bill Shouldice — Altemus is assembling an ambitious, cross-market database that will include Vermont's entire range oi '"deliverables." By January 1999, he optimistically predicts, Mortimer and Mabel will be able to locate, select and book Vermont hotel rooms, dinner

reservations, theater seats and museum tickets from the comfort of their New Jersey home. Step three, Altemus concludes, is to keep careful watch over which promotions sizzle and which fizzle. The smaller the chunk of change you've got to work with, the shrewder you've got to be with yourinvestments. Altemus has been traveling up and down the state, enthusiastically pitching his plan. His

With tourism growing 7.6 percent a year nationwide, Vermont's glacial 4 percent growth rate is another red flag.

strongest support comes from folks like Joyce Morse. As President of the Northeast Kingdom Travel and Tourism Association and co-owner of a Barton campground, Morse has already seen first-hand the benefits of cooperative advertising. "We are a poor area," she says. "One village doesn't have the money to advertise. If we work together, it helps each one of us." State Senator Susan Bartlett (D-Lamoille) is another Altemus fan. "He's right on the money with his goal of raising occupancy rates. When you increase occupancy you increase jobs." But not everyone is convinced. With some constituents, Altemus has had to overcome his flatlander persona. "His general direction is right on target," says George Maleck, Executive Vice President of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce. "His process for getting there could have been better. Coming from Michigan, he was used to a state dictatorship that doesn't set particularly ; well in Vermont." Another obstacle is individual players' resistance to ceding turf. "There's always parochialism," observes Maleck. "It's difficult to assure smaller organizations that they're not going to

be lost or run over or ignored." By the same token, as with Act 60, some wealthy communities don't always see the value in banding together with neighbors who are less fortunate. And even among Altemus' supporters, portions of his plan are controversial. State Senator Elizabeth Ready (D-Addison) likes the commissioner's emphasis on natural areas and culture, but isn't sure about the RMOs. "Vermont is very small," she says. "I don't think we need to be carving out 12 regions." "Centralization doesn't work unless you have massive money behind it," Altemus counters. He maintains that a regional approach is the only way to arm Vermont's small businesses in the battle against the giant hotel chains. "I saw this happen in Michigan. There were lots of little inns with charming atmosphere, clean rooms and reasonable rates. Then the big hotel chains came in and Mom and Pop couldn't compete.' But with Vermont's small scale and strong cachet, he insists, the same thing needn't happen here. "We have enough people w h o need the help, and a strong brand to put it i n t o , ' he asserts. "People will respond to the brand. Unlike Iowa." (7)

sit in with the homies. Last weekend it happened for ViperHouse, and more than 500 people crammed into Montpelier's City Hall to witness it. Jazz trumpeter extraordinaire Lester Bowie — in Vermont for a residency that also had him playing with school kids at a supermarket — performed as just one of the guys in the band in what leader^saxophonist Michael Chorney calls "an incredible evening," and one that Bowie reportedly dug, too. "He displayed incredible taste in his solos and in his whole approach to the music," says Chorney. "I've been listening to Lester Bowie for 15 years and it was a little intimidating," he adds, "but at the rehearsal he put us right at ease." A consummate musician, a nice guy, and one who hadn't played a small-town dance party in quite a long time, in sum. Chorney is happy to add that Bowie (no relation to David), a New Yorker, invited the Vipers to get in touch next time they play Manhattan. That's gotta feel good.

Sure enough, when the Maine minstrel gave up her day job in 1981 for the life of the road, she had some kinda faith — and it's paying off. Clark's husky alto, personalized songwriting and offbeat humor have made her a fave on the unplugged circuit. She arrives to the Burlington Coffeehouse at Rhombus this Saturday.

In this era of hit songs and one hit wonders, you're invited to discover an album.

or so, these two Dr. Frankensteins threw the switch, giving life to indie/alt rock as a viable genre in Burlington. Searles drummed for the nearly legendary art-pop band hover, founded Club Fub Records, organized a three-day indie-rock fest called Burlingtonitus, and now keeps time in Starlight Conspiracy. Clary used to front the swirly-emo darlings The Madelines, and most recently has been digging deep into his own pockets to put out some of Burlington's most shining rock on his label Sudden Shame. It's only fitting these two should join forces. And dien of course there's Dan Scinta on bass, who, until The Manual, had never even picked up the damn thing, I don't think. But it works — he's got an instinct for rhythm. So I decided to take their new CD, Guardian for a Year, with me for a little ride in my car to escape, for a while at least, the universal routine of piss-bathe-work; and because I'm in another one of those moods to end all moods. You know the one: You wake up in the morning and your mouth has healed over and your bloated heart swells once more in your chest and, against its better judgment, beats again. I may need a little therapy, but I'm sure as hell not gonna pay some stranger $75 an hour to tell me I need to tell my parents I wish they'd hugged me more. No, I just 5.E77 ! need a long, fast drive and some decent, loud rock. And that's what I got with Guardian for a Year. The opener, "Margin of Error," is like a giant transister bobbing calmly on the sea, but you just know that sucker's gonna blow at any second. And it does. "I Not Consent" and "A Study in Josh" remind me of the Afghan Whigs. From start to finish, the album is a grand flash of unpolished guitar and 16th notes, with the obligatory half-time slow-up in the middle But what really knocks me out are Clary's

OUI DID IT OUR WAY The next best thing to Europe? An apartment in Montreal

Jeanne

Keller

hen I think about why my husband and I rented our studio apartment in Montreal, one reason stands out as clearly as the lights of the Phillipsburg border station: No more midnight drives back after the fireworks. After the opera. After the Jazz Festival. After the Hong Kong Kung-Fu Sci-Fi Erotic Film Festival. No more. We've been going to Montreal on a regular basis for 16 years now. The first ritual we adopted was spending Christmas there. Our large families are far-flung and rarely met at one house, anyway. After flying out West for summer reunions, flying again at Christmas was out of the question. We figured that Chinatown wouldn't be closed on Christmas, and on a whim in 1983 we drove there right after opening our gifts on Christmas morning. Sure enough, the dim sum restaurants were jammed with Chinese families, and the spirit was certainly festive. After all, this is a "free" holiday if you aren't Christian.

We discovered that the greenhouses at the Botanical Garden are also open that day, with a magnificent display of decorations — not only the poinsettias, but also cyclamen

and the entire orchid house were in full bloom. What a treat to wander through that steamy micro-climate in the middle of frozen Montreal. This became our Christmas ritual, unchanged for a decade.

We were at that very spot the night that Baby Doc lost Haiti. People were going nuts, and the food was great. We saw this as a sign that we'd been given a mission: Learn about this city and tell others. So, we went deeper. Reading the weekly newspapers we found even more obscure restaurants, arcane film screenings and esoteric facts about Montreal politics. We rode buses to the end of the line and back. We listened to the morning traffic reports on CBC during the week to learn the names of the main streets. I barely speak conversational French, but we found that when people figured out we were from Vermont and not from Ontario, they'd either help us along with our limping French or move smoothly into English. For all the contentiousness ascribed to the language issue, we found that people in shops, restaurants, entertainment venues and in the M&ro were always helpful and polite. If you can speak any French at all and just try, you'll find Francophones appreciate your attempt. On the other hand, we've also overhead Anglophone employees complaining that they have to address obvi-

ously English-speaking patrons in French first, because of the language law. In those cases, you get "Bonjour, Madame. How may I help you?" The money exchange issue was also easier than we expected. The ATM machines are on the same worldwide network as our local banks. Put in the card, and that wonderfully colored Canadian money comes out, with the bank statement the next month recording the withdrawal at bank exchange rates. No travelers checks, no money changers; we started frequenting the ATMs convenient to our favorite haunts. We began to feel more like locals and less like tourists. Our friends back in Vermont started asking us for recommendations on lodging, restaurants, where to buy a bridesmaid's dress. We built directories on our computer about festivals, best places to watch fireworks, and the location of the Rocket Richard Memorial hockey rink. But as happens with most vacations, there was the dread factor: about halfWay through you start thinking about "the end." On those trips to Montreal, the reality of the drive home would strike first at check-out time on Sunday. Reality would really set in at 8 p.m. when it was time to head back to Burlington.

ie question. 1 the orang Can highway — don't miss the St. Jean exit or well be in Sherbrooke — and then Phillipsburg at 11 p.m and questioning at customs. Two years ago this May, we were having a cup of coffee on Laurier and I was thinking: fireworks festival, Jazz Festival, Film Festival. By now we were planning our summers around these. Why not formalize a summer vacation in Montreal? Isn't the city full of students leaving for home? Wouldn't it be like Burlington, where the "sublet available" flyers start fluttering in April? We checked the classifieds and, indeed, found many sublets available. We drove around checking out the neighborhoods and facades of the buildings, and an idea began taking shape: a twomonth sublet in July and August would give us lodging for both the Jazz Festival and most of the Film Festival, with no check-out time. We could drive up on Friday, and be back at work Monday morning. We could finally shop at Jean Talon market and go right "home" to cook a fabuloUs dinner. But Canada is a foreign country. So, on the next trip up we stopped at the Canadian immigration and

Armed with a roll of ^tartedmaking c ^ k ' l t w W t until I heard the first answering machine that I knew I had another problem: what phone number to leave for a return call. And would anyone call us in Vermont? I left pleading messages, and finally someone did call us during the week. He was a Concordia student from Hong Kong going home for the summer; he wanted someone to finish out the last two months of his lease. We made an appointment to see his place that weekend. For the next three days we hemmed and hawed: Could we do this? Did we deserve this? Was it dangerous? All around us, however, we had friends renting summer camps on the lake, getting their sailboats out of dry dock for the summer, planning that bicycle trip to the south of France, leaving for the islands.

OUI DID IT OUR WAY Continued from page 15 damentally different. We're taking our summer vacation every weekend instead of for two weeks, we rationalized, and we'll be in Montreal instead of on the lake. Moreover, with the decline of the Canadian dollar the cost was surprisingly affordable. Our monthly rent would be about the same as one weekend at a nice Montreal hotel, and certainly less than a long weekend at most Vermont resorts, or a weekend in Boston or Saratoga. Still, even though we could rationalize it, the apartment still seemed a little too indulgent, probably because we didn't know anyone else doing such a thing. Finally, we realized the only obstacle was guilt. We got over it. So we took a double air mattress and some kitchen things up to outfit the studio apartment, which was conveniently located one block from the Atwater Metro, just off St. Catherine. We could walk back at night from anywhere downtown, and we usually did. We could spend all of Sunday in the city, then either stay over until Monday or leave Sunday

night late. We could shop at the Atwater Market and bring home a feast, catch a classic film at that beaux-arts gem, the Imperial Theatre, then walk back. And believe me, midnight on St. Catherine is a lot

We cheered along with 200 expatriate South Americans at Champs Sports Bar last fall when Chile beat Peru for the last spot at the World Cup in France, and we'll haunt the sports bars this summer for the satellite feeds of the playoffs. Montreal is only 90 minutes away, but we may as well be on a different continent. As a friend used to say — parodying the advertisement of a Waitsfield restaurant — "It's like going to Europe without hardly leaving Vermont." It isn't just the sign,law, which mandates that no outdoor signs be in English, and that indoors the French typeface has to be at least twice the size of the English. It isn't just the ambiance, which is cosmopolitan, sophisticated and a little nihilistic all at once. For us, it's the pleasure. It's the people. It's the food. This is not a province settled by Puritans and Calvinists, after all. And increasingly, Montreal has a world face, not just a French face. The diversity of culture has truly widened our horizons. The view from here sure beats a boat. ©

Diary of mad freelancer and books to read. I even decide to turn down the telephone and answering machine so I won't be disturbed. Might as well enjoy this. Day 2. A heavy snow — flakes the size of Kellogg's — has fallen throughout the night, and there's over a foot on the ground. Reports of freezing rain on the way. But I don't care; I've got plenty of firewood. The house feels cozy, if a bit isolated. And on the weather radio I hear Crystal

those cans of soup last week. I force the front door open through a huge snowdrift. God, that's a lot of snow. I'm going to be stuck here for awhile. I heat up a can of Campbell's Chunky Soup for dinner and listen to Crystal on the radio. I'd never realized before what a beautiful voice she has — the way she intones, "Winter weather advisory." Nice. Wonder what she looks like?

compromise — shower but no shampoo. Proud that I'd made the decision. • Heard myself talking out loud to Ms. Truelove, wondering if she was warm and safe — wherever she was. • Caught myself pacing back and forth. To stop, I decided to arrange my cereal boxes in alphabetical order. Stopped when stumped by "Special K" — does it belong under "S" or "K"?

MEDICAL COVERAGE

Where would I be without the latest stories of contagion from Dan Rather and infrared photos of E. coli lurking in hotel rooms from Diane Sawyer? How could I possibly get to sleep without first absorbing every chilling syllable from Ted Koppel on the dire threat of Texas Strep? And, this being America, we've even spawned a medical subgenre devoted to celebrities. Larry Hagman's on "Hard Copy" discussing his liver transplant. Liz talks about her tumor on "Oprah." The tabloid shows conduct a morbid death watch for Ol' Blue Eyes. Geraldo hosts a medical examiner with breaking news concerning Princess Diana's internal injuries. On any given Sunday night, odds are good that one of the three networks will have a disease-of-the-week TV movie for you. On "Loveline," Dr. Drew holds forth in graphic detail on the manifold horrors of STDs on Mtv. And, for the real medical junkie, there's a little show the Learning Channel

The latest trend in television turns heads - and stomachs

ave you seen a doctor today? Of course you have, assuming you've been anywhere near a television. Are you concerned about your health? Of course you are. You watched TV today. Until then you felt just fine, but, with a little help from medical correspondents on the morning talk shows, an alarming report on the evening news and a positively hair-raising segment on, say "Dateline" or "Prime Time Live," you've managed to work yourself into a hospitalstrength tizzy. If you didn't have blood pressure problems before, you probably do now. Are those beads of sweat? Hey, you don't look so good. Now, I'm not a physician — I don't even play one on TV — but I've got a diagnosis for what ails you, and me, anyway: There is just way too much medical information coming through the old coaxial these days! What may have begun as a well-intentioned public service has snowballed completely out of control and spun off into a whole new mutant subgenre of programming. There's no escape. Wherever you turn, somebody has the results of a frightening new study or the

for malfunction, and for eventual breakdown, too. Sure, you want to take care of your health, but, between your doctor and your mother, pretty much all the practical advice you need is readily available on request (in your mother's case, maybe even without asking). Besides, the whole business of life and death is simply a lot more outside our control than many of us are comfortable admitting. The universe, after all, isn't a terribly sensible place. Jim Fixx, the guy who wrote The Complete Book of Running, died of a heart attack at age 52 — while jogging. Meanwhile, Jack Nicholson is 61 and dating supermodels. You explain it. TV sure as hell can't. It's just the way life is, and I seriously question whether we need the medium of television to overload us with pointlessly nervewracking data, and to turn us, one by one, into hysterical Crimes and Misdemeanors-tiz Woody Aliens who fret over an endless succession of

likes to call "The Operation": up close and personal, and unbelievably yucky, footage of honest-to-God surgical procedures, filmed in lifelike Hurlavision. Who watches these things, anyway — now that Jeffrey Daumer's no longer a member of the Nielsen family? If the horrifying facts of life and death begin to get to you, good luck finding any sort of escape in fiction. Thanks to top-rated programs like "E.R." and "Chicago Hope," prime time has become a parade of defibrillating, rib-spreading nightmares in which goodlooking young doctors and nurses play footsie under the operating table while human skeletons linger on life support, young gang members shred one another and cherubic children die from a bottomless supply of hideous diseases. I'll tell you what bothers me about all this. It's not healthy. Human beings weren't meant to worry over the machinery of the body all day long. That's why nature gave us involuntary functions and automatic systems, like breathing and digestion and healing, so the body could do its thing while we do ours. And that goes for obsessing over the potential

symptoms, imagined or otherwise. And here's the part that makes me extra crispy: It's not like TV programmers are doing it because they care. They're doing it because they know you'll drop whatever you're doing, tell the kids to shut up, and bug your eyes out big and wide if their news is alarming enough. More and more, fine writing, intelligent programming, solid comic and dramatic performances — the stuff of good TV — is giving way to a cathode commodity that's easier, cheaper and in greater supply: fear. Mortal, existential terror and morbid curiosity. Why pay millions of dollars an episode for the next "Seinfeld" when a 20minute package on flesheating bacteria will cost peanuts to produce and stop horrified viewers dead in their tracks? Next to the people responsible for this trend, Geraldo Rivera, Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer look high-minded. Well, Geraldo and Ricki, anyway. I don't know about you, but it all makes me a little sick. I do have a pretty good idea what would perk me up, though: Seeing this medical overload phenomenon flatline. Go Code Blue. Stat. 0

What is it?

The AIDS Ride is the most successful AIDS fundraising event in the country. On September 17, 1998, three thousand participants will ride out of Boston. Over the next three days, they will pedal Photo: Paiwei Wei through some of New England's most beautiful countryside before arriving in New York City, where they will celebrate their accomplishment with a triumphant Victory Ride and an inspiring Closing Ceremony.

BostonONew York AIDS Ride 4 is one ofTanqueray's American AIDS Rides. In only three years, BostonDNew York AIDS Ride has raised over $20 million for Fenway Community Health Center in Boston, the Lesbian & Gay Community Services Center; and the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center of NewYorkThat's more money sent more quickly to AIDS charities than any AIDS fundraising event in history Over 9,400 people have participated in Boston3New York AIDS Ride in the last three years and most of them had never done anything like it before. Some didn't even own a bicycle when they registered. Many now describe the event as "life-changing".

Photo: Paiwei Wei

The Ride is not about bicycling. It's about moving beyond your limits. It's about doing something significant about AIDS. Because AIDS is not over While new drugs are available, they are not effective for some people and not accessible to many others.

That sounds great, but I could never do anything like that.

Yes, you can. It's a ride, not a race. It is for everyone, not just experienced cyclists. Yourideat your own pace. You can stop whenever you want—take pictures, enjoy the scenery, meet the folks in towns along the way. You'll have a great time. But you will also challenge yourself. The Ride is physically and emotionally demanding. The fact that you are not sure if you can do this means that you should try. Only in doing so can you discover your potential.

We're here to help you.

We want you to succeed. Once you register; we help you every step of the way. There are regular training rides throughout the year to help you get in shape. We'll assist you in fundraising by sharing with you some tried-and-true methods to meet and exceed your pledge commitment We'll teach you how to repair a flat lend advice on purchasing a bike, and provide bike safety and maintenance lessons. The Ride itself is incredibly well supported with hot showers, hot meals, snack and water stops along the route, volunteer massage, chiropractic, and bike tech services, transport for your gear; full medical teams, and even two-person tents! From the moment you register; you'll become part of a community of people, who, just like you, are committed to making a difference in thefightagainst AIDS.

Where does the money go?

WILD THINGS By

David

Healy

ount Mansfield. Lake Champlain. The 270-mile Long Trail. Let's face it: We live in God's country. Why else would 22 million people visit the state? After all, Ben & Jerry's exports. But despite being a recreational playground with a Sabra Field veneer, Vermont is not all barns and Bass Masters in Paradise. How many of the anglers who tooled around our pretty Great Lake last summer brought home an arctic charr? Or, for that matter, when's the last time you heard a jtimberwolf at dusk while finishing a hike on "the footpath in the wilderness?" In fact, you can't catch a charr or hear a timberwolf in Vermont — they're just two of a handful of native species that have been extirpated since Ethan Allen roamed the mountains.

And now eight more species, including the spotted turtle, are headed for the state's endangered and threatened species list because of their diminishing numbers. Homo sapiens has been doing well in the state, though, up 60 percent from the 1880s, when catamounts weren't just a mascot for the University of Vermont. Dr. Michael Soule, a worldrenowned ecological geneticist who brings his message to Burlington this Tuesday — "Rewilding North America: The Morality and the Science" — won't be surprised when he hears of developments in Vermont. "As the human volume turns up, wildlands fall silent," he once wrote in the environmental anthology, Nature Conservation. , As the man who helped bring conservation biology -— and ensuing fights

MIM015 A conservationist biologist argues that animals need their between jobs and the environment — to the public consciousness, Soul^ says humankind's insatiable appetite for land threatens the core habitats that support native species and biodiversity, "The vital links that connect them — wildlife corridors — are being nibbled to death like babies attacked by rats," he says. ts If that type of talk sounds more like political rhetoric than scientific discourse/ Soule s not your typical scientist. After all, he once thumbed his nose at academic tenure and gave away his house to study Buddhism. And the Wildlands5 Project — the environmental group he co-founded in 1991 — is not your typical environmental response team trying to douse ecological brush fires. , UH. . i\;*Xhe conservation movement has largely been defined by saying 'no' to generally bad things," says Tom Butler, editor of Wild Earth, the Richmond, Vermont-based conservation journal that serves the publication needs of the national Wildlands Project. "'No' to this timber sale, 'no' to this Wal-Mart, 'no' to this development. Environmentalists have always been entrapped in this position of being the naysayers."

While those battles need to be fought, Butler acknowledges, there's also a need and a niche for a larger and more proactive vision. The Wildlands Project, he says, was set up by Soule, Dave Foreman and other environmental activists to take a look at the ecological integrity of the continent — from the Panamk Canal to Barrow, Alaska — and say, "Where are we now and what do we want the continent to look like in 10 years, 50 years, 500 years? > What Soule and company would like to see is a landscape where animals are on an equal footing with man, up in real terms from the 4 or 5 percent of the land mass they currently occupy. The reality, say scientists like evolutionary biologist Stuart Pimm, is an ecosystem faced with an extinction crisis. "Species have always gone extinct, but today they're going extinct hundreds, maybe even thousands, of times faster than they should be," Pimm says in an interview in the latest issue of Wild Earth. Yet, as anyone who's seen Jurassic Park can tell you, extinction is nothing new. Sixty-five million years ago, TRex and his friends met their demise when an asteroid collision wreaked havoc with the planet's thermostat. This time, however, the difference is that you and I — and not an extraterrestrial body — are at the controls. "This one's different," says Butler. "We're in an extinction crisis now because of human beings, six billion of them, driving their cars, getting enough to eat, going to work, going to the mall...doing what they do, and what they do has so dominated the matrix that they've severed ecological connectivity." Connectivity is vital, Soule has said, because no single natural area or national park in the lower 48 — not even Yellowstone at 2.2 million acres — is big enough to maintain viable populations of all native species, especially the large carnivores. Out West, environmentalists would like to see protected habitats and corridors running from Yellowstone to the Yukon to allow the exchange of genetic material and the natural dispersion of wolves and grizzlies, among other species.

are unequivocally repulsive. Like an obsessed great-aunt, Feld uses this perverse 1957 interior decorating scheme over and over again, yet never convincingly justifies it. What's remarkable about his use of these doughty hues, however, is that in one piece he actually makes them work. Suspended over a cream and green-turquoise checkered platform are hundreds of shriveled Latex gloves piled onto wax paper and a broad steel sheet. This larger-than-life mixture of queasy colors and ambiguous

he expression "garden variety" is usually meant to indicate the commonplace, quotidian, that which can be found anywhere. But that's not at all the meaning in a new exhibit at the Middlebury College Museum of Art. "After Eden: Garden Varieties in Contemporary Art" is as much about ordinary plants as museums are about simply preserving the past. And what "After Eden" does convey is far more than just imagery inspired by or derived from the natural world — which is, after all, as old as art itself. For a relatively small exhibit — works by just 12 artists (three of them outdoors) — it is remarkably rich and thought-provoking: themes of paradise and paradise lost, life and death, environmental degradation and richesse, human connection to, and alienation from, planet Earth. Unlike the sweetsmelling flower show at the Sheraton Burlington last weekend, the beauty and promise of the garden in "After Eden" is balanced, like yin and yang, with an awareness of its inevitable decay and demise. That said, it is also not lacking in good humor. The only Vermont artist in the exhibit, sculptor Leslie Fry, contributes the largest piece — at least until the tree, planted by the college as an extension of Joseph Beuys' "7000 Oaks" project, grows up next to Old Chapel. At 10 feet high, the appropriately titled "Big Dress" soars over the indoor exhibit like a matriarch dressed up for the ball. Only the woman

implied by the "dress" — a scandalously see-through affair of steel and dried grapevines — isn't there. Fry has made a mark in recent years with the art of unoccupied "clothing;" work made more powerful by the implications of the absent, or invisible, person, and here laden with further significance with its organic origins. Less threatening than the amazonian "Big Dress" are the Hobbitsized "Leaf Dress" — a twofoot plaster cast painted with overlapping leaves — and the cuddly-looking "Moss Coat." Standing at attention, Fry's trio gives new meaning to "ready to wear. The largest canvases here impress not only because of their size: Kerry James Marshall's "Untitled (Altgeld Gardens)" contrasts cheery robins with a desolate, coalblack man sprawled before an urban housing project. Marshall, an Alabaman transplanted to Chicago, has noted the irony of inner-city tenements with arcadian names. The natural cycle of life and death is told more insidiously in Mike Glier's huge paintings. Look closely at "Garden Court: Summer," and you'll gradually become aware that the wall behind the flora in the foreground is riddled with bullet holes and splattered with what can only be blood. Three oblivious birds atop the wall — and the impervious plants themselves — attest that life goes on, no matter what human atrocities seem to give it pause. The work is chilling even as it allows that hope springs eternal. Next to these powerfully emotional works, Paula Hayes' installation, "A Moyable Land" — a portable, table-top garden replete with watering can

and gardening books — seems trite. Even so, it's clear the New York artist-horticulturist has conjoined her interests with love and respect for the botanical. The British artist Andy Goldsworthy's environmental work is here in spirit — or rather, in color photograph. His "installation" — a cairn of snow toped with mud, sited under the spread of an oak tree in Scotland — truly represents, and echoes, the impermanence of all things with art that, eventually, dissolves. Cibachrome photos document the progression of his eartly manipulations. "After Eden" proffers other views on the (organic) material, and immaterial world, from the touchingly funerary artifice of Tony Feher's concrete-andplastic "Long Term Pillow" to Henrik Hakansson's all-too-real fruit flies and Venus flytraps in "True Love." The work collectively persuades that love, seduction, beauty, misery — and, certainly, the endless cycle of existence — are common to all species. It also positions art, and artists, as an essential spoke in the wheel. (7) In addition to the Joseph Beuys tree-and-marker project, Middlebury College features two other works outside the museum: Dan Grahams "Two-Way Mirror Curved Hedge Zig-Zag Labyrinth" will be a permanent installation in the Art Center's plaza, while Jenny Holzer's granite bench, entitled "Under a Rock: Light goes through the branches...," will reside by the pond. Continued programming in conjunction with "After Eden" will be noted in the Seven Days calendar, or call 443-5794for more info.

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I predict ! that some night this week you'll have a dream of appearing naked in front of a large crowd. (Not totally naked, actually; you'll probably have on red socks and a straw hat.) What's worse is that you're also likely to forget the speech you were going to give to the expectant multitudes. That's the bad news, Aries. The good news is that having a dream like this — or at least being forewarned about it here — will inspire you to keep anything remotely similar to it from happening in your waking life. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The fecal matter has not yet hit the rotary i breeze-blowing device. But I assure you that it will unless you take immediate preventive measures. May I suggest, first of all, that you steer clear of anything that even remotely resembles a breeze-blowing device, whether it's big-mouthed blowhards or hot air-generators who would rather gossip than eat or make love. Second of all, Taurus, conduct a thorough cleansing of everything you own, starting with a nice, warm brainwashing. Third, try to get a hold ! of one of those handy contraptions i Ernest Hemingway used to call a built-in, shock-resistant bullshitdetector.

GCMINI (May 21-June 20): What if I told you that just outside your circle j of friends, even friendlier friends are | awaiting your discovery — and that I they could Help boost you much closer j to the top of a heap you've been clawing and scratching to ascend? And ' what ifl hinted that its now a ripe moment to make the acquaintance of these friendlier friends? Would you be willing to expahd and loosen up your I approach to socializing, Gemini, in order to make yourself available to them? This is one time when it might make sense to accept candy from m a r c h 18, 1 9 9 8

strangers and to stick your nose in where it supposedly doesn't belong. CANCCR (June 21-July 22): My philosophy professor once told me that all truths pass through three stages. 1) They are ridiculed. 2) They are vehemently opposed. 3) They are accepted as self-evident. Judging from the astrological vibes that are now coalescing in your aura, Cancerian, I would guess that your fresh truths have passed through stage one, and are 90 percent of the way through stage two. These last few days of crazed contrariness will come close to turning you into an evil clown, but you'll avoid that fate if you can just stay focused on how good you're going to feel once stage three kicks in.

special service I perform. In 1998, Virgo, you're the lucky dog. Here's my offer. Create or obtain a symbol of your most inconsolable pain. Mail it to me. I will then conduct a sacred ritual of purification during which I will burn that symbol to ash as 1 pray for your relief. While this may not eradicate your anguish entirely, I'm confident it will provide a substantial amelioration which you will be able to feel the benefits of within six weeks. Send a representation of what hurts you the most to me at RO. Box 150628, San Rafael, CA 94915. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My dictionary of symbols seems conflicted about the meaning of mud. Slimy gunk that's full of stinky, decomposing stuff? O r fertile, moist hotbed teeming with new life? The book's editors can't decide, and make no attempt to suggest that the two different interpretations might be interrelated. I will propose just that, though, as I urge you to symbolically roll and wallow in the mud this week. Yes, you'll get metaphorically filthy and smelly. But that's exactly what you need to do in order to glean the secret knowledge that'll lead to a new cycle of creation.

ICO (July 23-Aug. 22): You're in possession of dangerous yet potentially curative powers, Leo. If you don't poison everything you touch, you'll revitalize and supercharge it. Your surging sexuality will either overwhelm and obsess you, causing complications for all concerned, or else exalt and spiritualize you, bringing light and life to the world. In other words, my onthe-edge friend, your magic is similar to that of the mythical serpent. Will you use it to provoke a great fall (as the slithering tempter did in Genesis), or to uplift (like the Greek god of healing, Asclepius, whose staff was entwined by a snake)? I think it all depends on the purity of your intentions. D o you truly want what's best for everyone? O r do you harbor a secret desire to get your own selfish way no matter what?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tradition says that Noah (of Ark fame) was born November 6, which would make him a Scorpio. He certainly had some qualities typical of your tribe. H e could be devastatingly vengeful, for instance. When his son Ham caught him naked and drunk in his tent, he got so j

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Once every year I choose one sign of the zodiac to be the beneficiary of a very

kid's descendants. Noah (in typical Scorpio fashion) invented vineyard cultivation and saved the human race. History, as a

result, cuts the dude a lot of slack. I hope the people in your life are willing to do the same for you these days, Scorpio. Maybe you could nudge them in that direction by telling stories of famous Jekyll-and-Hyde Scorpios who in the end were more Dr. Jekyll than Mr. Hyde.

how it works so you can visualize precisely how to apply it. In its simplest form, the practice of grafting involves cutting a bud off one plant and fusing it onto a stem or branch of another plant. The hope is that the two will eventually act as if they are the same plant. There are many reasons for doing it: to boost productivity on fruit trees, to increase a plant's resistance to pests, to facilitate pollination, to repair a damaged plant, or to grow a plant in an unfamiliar environment by combining it with a host that's well-adapted to that environment. Any and all of these purposes could have resonances with your life in the weeks ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During the first part of this week, most everything you need to accomplish will be best managed through stealth and caginess. You'll have an amazing knack for negotiating » PISC€S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Earl labyrinths and subterranean caverns — Warren, Chief Justice of the U.S. and their psychological equivalents. Supreme Court from 1953 to 1969, You'll also excel at drumming up was one of this century's most useful illusions that'll coax people into powerful and influential men.

WILD THINGS Continued from page 27 open space has only 1.4 percent of its acreage off-limits to logging and motorized vehicles, the issue of habitat connectivity is one of the driving forces behind the call for preserving 10 wilderness areas from New York to Maine. This would establish a 26 million-acre Northern Forest, albeit one that treads lightly on existing local economies and communities. Perhaps because of Soule's spiritual past, the scientist feels as much akin to other species as he does his own. In his world view, wildlife has an intrinsic value independent of their value to humans and our environmental needs. It could take centuries, he admits, but the

Wildlands Project has no less a goal than a world where man lives in harmony with the full flowering of the preColumbian populations of plants and animals. "Endangered species are the symptoms, not the causes, of poor planning," Soule commented recently in the Los Angeles Times. "Do we Americans," he asked, "have the generosity of spirit and the inventiveness of mind to find ways to coexist with the remnants of this land's natural legacy?" And, he might add, is it a legacy we choose to be a part of? ©

The Wildlands Project has no less a goal than a world where man lives in harmony with the full flowering of the preColumbian populations of plants and animals.

Dr. Michael Soule will present "Rewilding North America: The Morality and the Science," Tuesday, March 24, at 7:30p.m. in the University of Vermont Billings Student Center North Lounge. Admission is free. Info, 864-4850.

approaching the region, we both know what that means. I decide to shampoo my hair in the event we meet soon. I follow the directions on the Prell label to the letter: "Wash. Rinse. Repeat."" Can't be too careful. Breakfast does not go well. I can't find the Special K. "It's probably misfiled," I tell Crystal. Day 6. It's official: I have cabin fever. My brother, a Pittsburgh accountant who knows everything, diagnosed it over the phone last night after I told him about Crystal and me. I can live with this. At least now I know. My brother faxed me an article from Country Journal on cabin fever. It notes, "The lack of human contact is especially hard for people whose homes are already geographically isolated." I dash off a quick note to the author: "Dear Jerk: Who the hell needs human contact?

How did I ever cope? • Each evening, between six and eight o'clock, I look forward to the possibility of long, rambling telephone conversations with representatives of AT&T, MCI or Sprint. Day 10. The freezing rain has stopped. The sun is shining. I took my first, tentative steps outside of my house today. My cabin fever seems to have broken. That's the good news. The bad news is that I now realize Crystal Truelove and I were never really meant to be a couple. I heard her on the radio this morning and she appears to understand. As she announced, "There will be a mild depression centered over the northern Vermont region for the next few days, but it will soon pass, giving way to clear skies." A brave lady. ®
