BODY IMAGE AND DRUGS I am interested in responding to Chris McDonald’s article [“Live Man Talking,” Feb. 28]. I applaud the author for his frank ness and humor, for it must take courage to express such self-dep recating opinions. It illustrated how negative body image is a non-gender issue. However, what concerned me was his advocacy of Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), “...just the answer to my ass issue.” As a registered nurse, I see plenty of mixed messages regard ing health, some more harmful than others. An increasing num ber o f people seem to juggle the belief that healing is accom plished solely through a wonder drug that can be conveniently swallowed, so “... that you don’t care. Knowing that one of the indicators of effective anti depressant therapy is an increased sense of well-being, shouldn’t we mention the many paths which support this direction? This is certainly more advantageous than complacency in numbness. Healing is a sacred process that should be nurtured, attended to and supported through social, spiritual, dietary, environmental, physical and cognitive means. When we take a more holistic approach to self-care, we establish

responsibility for our wellness. Self-care is the result of self-love, and we’re all worthy of that. — John S. Rinelli Burlington ‘PREPARING’ FOR POPULA T IO N GROW TH Scott Shumski’s letter [“Weekly Mail,” Feb. 28] acts as both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it makes it clear that many Burlingtonians have engaged in an important and much-needed dialogue about growth in our city. A curse because Shumski is apparently uninformed on the issues related to growth and how the city came up with a 25,000-person popula tion increase in the first place. As a former Legacy Project staff member, let me remind Shumski of the thousands of individuals who participated in the process which developed the Legacy plan for Burlington. Youth, seniors and citizens from all walks of life had input and discussions around Burlington in the year 2030. Burlington adding 25,000 to its population was not “proposed” by the current administration, but identified by Burlington residents as some thing we should prepare for if in fact we are to grow at the same rate the rest of the region has over the past years.

Can a plan like the Legacy Project please everyone? O f course not. One of the true strengths of the project lies in the diversity of opinions brought together over the course of the process. Regardless, whether we are talking about the Legacy Project or the soon-to-be-open downtown supermarket, as a potential City Council candidate, Shumski should have a better understanding of the issues effecting Burlington and its citi zens. — Andrew H uff Burlington IT AIN ’T FREE, BABE In regard to Peter Freyne’s running commentaries on The Burlington Free Press, I would like to add that not only is the BFP not “free,” but also, its readers should be paid rather than pay for reading it. — Thomas Quea Burlington SHEEP SCIENCE SUSPECT John Dillon’s article [“The ‘Mad’ Matter,” March 7] certain

ly raises the question, why on earth anyone would think the threat of mad cow disease will go away if the two celebrity Vermont sheep flocks are exter minated. Unfortunately, the arti cle did not examine the science on which the government’s con demnation of these flocks is based, nor did it clarify some of the common misconceptions. “Four sheep tested positive for mad cow disease” — that is the misconception propagated by a careless press. Not even the USDA claims these sheep tested positive for mad cow disease, which would be impossible. Four sheep from Houghton Freeman’s flock allegedly tested positive for a TSE (a family of disease which includes mad cow); the TSE that occurs in sheep is called scrapie, a not uncommon disease among domestic flocks that is not con sidered a threat to public health. Logically, if a TSE is indicated in a sheep’s brain, it is likely to be the TSE for sheep, not for cows! But the test to determine which

Spring Has Sprung!

he said, is safety and “making sure nobody gets hurt.” Desantis told us she believes Lussier’s concern runs deeper and that he was merely snooping around to gather intelligence and “make our FBI files a little larger. They’re trying to infiltrate,” she said. “They’re not trying to work with us.” According to Anne Petermann of the local Native Forest Network office in Burlap, April will be globalization month in these parts, with teach-ins and rallies scheduled for both Burlington and Montpeculiar. As for how many out-of-staters might end up in town, Petermann said her “guesstimate” is between 500 and 3000. Cool. Should be a boost for the local economy. You’d think the Chamber of Commerce would be a co sponsor? There’s plenty of informa tion available online concern ing the upcoming Quebec summit. We recommend the official site of the Organization of the Americas at www.oas.org and the Summit of the Americas site at www.summit— americas. org. For tons of information about globalization issues and the protests, check out www.stopftaa.org and www.vermontactionnetwork. org. Happy surfing!

Yes, those were the first songbirds of the sea son you heard at sunrise this morning. The long silent winter is over. Congratulations, you made it through! W ith the bird traffic increasing daily, the sun rise symphony will reach a full-blown crescendo in a couple of weeks. You may recall a few years ago we reported one Burlingtonian filed a noise complaint with the police because of the early morning chirping. I’m not kidding. Burlap is quite the popular stopping off place as birds from down country head north to raise their families in Canada. And songbirds aren’t the only creatures heading north this year. Spring usually brings a new round of political activism in the Green Mountains. This year the protest season will kick off shortly as the Organization of American States (OAS) con venes its third “Summit of the Americas” in Quebec City start ing April 20. The hot item on the agenda is the proposed “Free Trade Area of the Americas” (FTAA). Thousands of anti-globalization protesters are expected and many will be traveling through Vermont. In fact, Burlington has been desig nated as a “convergence center” for activists heading for the fes tivities north of the border. Speaking of the Chamber — B Y P E T E R F R E Y N E We ran into Wayne Roberts The FTAA is a scheme to extend the North American at Monday’s Legislative Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which currently Breakfast at the Sheraton.

Despite suffering two bro ken ankles, Elvaker tried to push her 15-year-old grand daughter into oncoming traffic, then took off all her clothes, jumped over the highway medi an barrier and ran into the woods, where police found her hiding. “It’s amazing how the grandmother was able to let this Ouija board consume her life,” Burns said.

Police who spotted the pair said their first thought was that Williams was the victim, especially when he started yelling, “Thief!

There’s a lady here who needs a ride.” I sat in late afternoon traf fic, the cellular phone pressed to my ear. I figured it was a bartender calling for one of my customers who got a little too happy at happy hour. I could hear the murmur of conversa tion as the phone was being passed. “Oh, thank God!” a woman said. I didn’t recog nize the voice. “Please tell me you can take me to Waitsfield. None of the other cab com 4 panies are willing to do it.” “I probably can,” I replied. “Where are you now?” “I’m at the jail.” “The one in South Burlington? The one they call the four Cs?” “Let me ask,” she said. Again, I heard a muffled exchange. “Yeah, the guard said on Farrell Street. Now, let me tell you up front: I don’t have the money on me. My wallet is in the glove compartment of my car, which they towed last night when I got arrested. I have no memory of the entire night, but I have the name of the garage. It’s on Route 100. Please, I need to get back to my condo. My husband is stuck there with our kids.” Well, I thought, that cer tainly explains why the other companies have turned her down. “Hold on for a moment,” I said, giving myself time to think this one through. To go or not to go? Hamletin-a-cab, that’s me. Obviously, I’m out here trying to make a buck, but if I can help some body out of a jam, I’d like to do it. T hat’s part of how I see my job. Still, a 50-mile ride to Waitsfield on a promise — that’s a tough call. Particularly when the fare is a person who got drunk enough the previous night, with her family back in the condo, to land in the slam mer. Is that a person on whom I’d like to place a two-hour, $60 bet? “I’ll be over there in 15 minutes,” I said. Call me Mr. Softie. W hen I pulled up to the

Correctional Center, an attrac tive, well-dressed woman was waiting on the sidewalk. The outfit was what I think they call “apres-ski”— a puffy, silver jacket with some designer logo on the collar, velvety black slacks and stylish, furry boots. The well-groomed, manicured look seemed incongruous given the premises. Her hair, though, was a mess; she looked like she hadn’t slept much the night before, which was entirely pos sible under the circumstances. She folded herself into the

Man, I thought — what a load of crap! This woman’s thinking is all wrong, totally shot through with self-decep tion. “But what about the AA philosophy?” I countered. “Isn’t taking personal responsibility for your drinking like one of the first AA steps?” “Sure, that sounds great in theory, but you don’t know my husband. He’s a total cokehead, and he thinks AA is a joke. It’s like he wants me to drink. It’s so sick.”

After two days and two feet of snow, the gleaming whiteness was nearly blinding. The highway, though, was clear and dry — a tribute to the skill and hard work of the road crews. The woman slowly rubbed her palm over her forehead and onto the crown of her head, holding it there. “They told me at the jail that the breath test showed an alcohol level of 3.1. T hat’s pretty high, huh?” Jeez Louise, I thought. “Let me put it this way — if you blew a 3.1, the police may have saved your life, or some other innocent lives, by getting you out of your car.” “Oh, that’s great!” she said, and I could see her eyes narrow. “I know I’m not supposed to say it, but it’s my husband’s fault. He knows I’m on the AA pro gram, and I begged him not to take any alcohol up to the condo this year. He was like, ‘Hey, that’s your problem; don’t lay it on me. Our friends are going to be visiting, and you know they’re going to want drinks.’ He’s like, ‘Christ, Dana, I’m not going to let your problem ruin this vaca tion for everyone else!”’ $&>®S SSISSt

I was about to chime back, continuing this utterly dis heartening conversation, when the recent comments of a good friend echoed in my head: If people want your advice, they will ask for it, and even then they generally don’t really want it. I took a deep breath and stayed quiet for a couple of miles. Then I said, “Boy, it sounds like a tough situation, really painful.” She shook her head with a sigh. “That’s just what it is,” she said, “a real mess, and the worst part is the effect on our two kids.” “Well, good luck working the AA program. It takes a lot of perseverance, but I know people who now live sober because of it.” “Thanks, I appreciate your letting me vent. It’s just been a rough 24 hours.” We rode in a peaceful silence the remainder of the trip. W hat a different feeling in the cab, I noticed, once I stopped lecturing and just lis tened. I mean, life is hard for everyone — some of the time if you’re lucky; most or all of the time if you’re not. W hat gives me the right to judge another? We found the garage, and I pulled next to her car. She fished her purse out of the glove compartment and paid me, including a good tip. “Good luck with your life,” I said. “You know,” she replied, “I think, at this point, it’s going to take more than luck.” ® mm di

On Burlington’s Church Street, a m an called - “Highway” steers troubled kids in the right direction

By Paula Routly Ipring may be cause for cele bration in every other corner 'o f Vermont, but at the inter section of Church and Cherry in downtown Burlington, it brings up a perennial “problem” — loi tering teens who scare off subur ban shoppers. Despite still-snowcovered rocks on the pedestrian mall, a klatch of young people gathers in front of Old Navy to soak in the late-winter sun. Smoking butts and exchanging “f ” words, they are idle enough to look vaguely menacing. Bu

while most people walk studious ly around the group, one man heads right for it. The approaching adult is himself a quasi-dangerous-look ing guy. He’s short, but sports a pocket knife on his belt, a bikerstyle black leather jacket and a roguish beret. Instead of breaking up the teens, he swaggers over to join them, shaking hands, slap ping backs, sucking alternately on a freshly lit Marlboro and a cup of joe-to-go. He seems to know everybody — even the peo ple who pass the posse by — and greets them by name with gruff

affection. “Hey, Highway, how ya doin’?” a sullen boy with lip and tongue studs mumbles in his direction. At least today, the greeting seems to be a mantra among the minors. On any given day — when he is not out of town working his concert securi ty job — “Highway” is out on Church Street, listening to and advising teens, who also call him “dad,” “uncle,” “pop” and “grandpop.” The 39-year-old uses a combination of tough love and street smarts to talk kids out of what he describes, in a thick

mobster accent, as “doing stupid shit.” That includes fighting, vandalism, stealing, unsafe sex and using or selling anything stronger than marijuana. Employing old-school meth ods off-limits to cops and profes sional social workers, Highway is a one-man volunteer mission to keep the peace on Church Street. Sometimes that means assisting in law enforcement investigations or protecting downtown business interests. But mostly it involves keeping track of about 60 to 80 kids, he estimates, who make the Marketplace their second home.

Even when he’s out of town, Highway counts on “moles” to keep him current. “I have a perspective that nobody has,” he claims with a braggadocio that sounds almost self-delusional. “T hat’s why cops come to me, that’s why kids come to me, that’s why shop owners come to me. You’re going to see a whole bunch of it when we go walking down that block.” Eighteen-year-old Faith Gaudette of Burlington says she found “another dad” in Highway when her parents kicked her out of the house. “When I screw up,

Highway yells at me and then he gives me advice,” she says with a smile, her blue eyes flashing. “It means more because he sees what goes on down here. He under stands. I remember one really bad day, he took me out for cof fee. He told me he’d be there for me. He really cares about us.” Another teen pipes up, “He’s the psychiatrist of Church Street.” Still more kids confide in Highway when they could — and perhaps should — be getting guidance at home. “They come to me before they go to their par ents because they know I will shoot from the hip with them,” Highway says. “Some of the poor parents are still Donna Reed. Some of the poor parents are still Robert Young. They ain’t got a clue.” Those words ring sad but true in light of recent crimes involv ing the exploitation of local minors. In February, the death of a Burlington girl in New York City exposed a drug-related pros titution ring with direct links to Vermont. This month came the news that a Burlington business man had been taking nude pho tographs of underage girls, in some cases indirectly funding their drug addictions. Between the unsavory allegations about Christal Jones and Irv Abrams, and almost daily reports of drug busts and overdoses, it’s safe to say the Queen City has more secrets than it’s telling. Highway is privy to more of them than most. And although he suggests painful punishment for the photog — “a hot poker up the prick” — he does not seem particularly shocked by the news. Speaking hypothetically, he says, “I would tell those girls, ‘Make sure somebody goes with you. But if you come to me telling me you are going to be in a room with a man and a camera and you’re not going to have no clothes o n ... After I’m done with him, I’m going to come have a nice talk with you.” It may not be the advice you’d give your own little girl, but Highway is realistic — and remarkably intuitive — about the limitations of talking teens out of risky behavior. “When I was a kid, if I was going to do some thing, I’m doing it and I don’t give a rat’s ass what you tell me,” he explains. “She says ‘I think I’m going to sleep with my boyfriend,’ so I reach in my bag, pull out a condom, put it in her pocket and tell her, ‘If you don’t you don’t, but if you do, you got one in case he don’t.’ “A parent,” he adds, “would try to talk her out of it.”

parent might also have some trouble understanding how an ex-con, who refuses to divulge his real name, could possibly be a positive influence on a wayward child. Once you get past the multiple earrings, the tattoos and the transience — Highway is phone-free, earless and lives on somebody’s couch

— there is the gangster rap. A Jersey accent roughened by a steady diet of “nicotine, caffeine and T H C ” makes him sound like a Soprano-in-training. Connecting the dots of Highway’s bohemian life is no less challenging. “The eldest of eight kids” who “got smart” in Newark, New Jersey, actually had two families. He was the only child of his mother and father, who were divorced shortly after he was born. Highway and his moth er went to live with her parents in Keansburg — resulting in a very close relationship with his maternal grandfa ther — until she remar ried and had seven more children. Highway claims his senior status in the fam ily accounts for his comfort around kids. But he attributes his “values,” which he describes as “harderedged” than most, to his father’s side of the family. “We weighed everything in terms of cause and effect, crime and punishment, because my father did not like people to do stupid shit, and when we did stupid shit, he let us know.” Pointing to his bottom lip, which is fuller on one side than the other, he recalls one disagree ment that was resolved with his father’s fist. The blow broke the elder man’s hand and left Highway bleeding all over his aunt’s kitchen. “I wouldn’t call it violence. I would call it putting me back on the right road,” he says, never missing an opportuni ty to build on the metaphor of his name. “It showed me there are times when you can sit there and talk about it, and there are times when you gotta knock the shit out of people.” No doubt this sort of tough talk sets Highway apart from the Spectrum youth-services workers on Church Street. That, and his own admission that he has been to jail at least twice. Alternately hyperbolic and cagey, he explains his visit to a Rutland lock-up by saying, “I took something that didn’t belong to me.” W ith pride, Highway offers the exact fine for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, which also sent him to the slam mer. “It’s $267.50 — $250 for disorderly conduct and $17.50 for the court fee.” On one occa sion, when he was incarcerated for contempt of court, he says his “kids” passed around the hat to raise the money to bail him out. By all accounts, though, Highway is a lot less shady than he seems. “He’s the type of per son who makes you a little leery at first,” says Burlington Police Detective Art Cyr, “but once you get to know him, he’s not a bad guy.” Cyr met Highway several years ago when he used to walk

the Church Street beat, and reports none of their interactions has ever been negative. “He has helped, and done some good things,” Cyr says. “People who don’t know him, or don’t know the kids, might look at him and think he’s part of the problem,” says Colleen Montgomery, a Burlington

kids shouldn’t be doing stronger . drugs. For some of us, that is comforting,” says Montgomery. “I guess it’s reassuring to know there is someone out there the kids feel comfortable with who is maybe going to give them the , same advice as a cop or a parent.” Well, maybe not exactly the same advice: In many respects, Highway is bet ter positioned to counsel kids who are experi menting with adult-sized issues. “When they are not blood relatives, I can be more objective,” he says wisely, “I have scared kids out of their first sexual encounter. I have talked three kids out of doing a bag, doing a bundle, doing a hit. Heroin, crack, the whole deal. Why? If they are telling me what they are going to do, they want me to stop them.” He also tries to avoid judging his advisees: Instead of telling kids not to do something, he sug gests ways they might protect themselves, by using condoms, checking sources and “knowing who, where and what you are partying with.” Matt Young, a roving case worker for Howard Community Services who handles people with mental illness in the downtown area, observes, “He focuses on peoples survival skills instead of their self-destructive skills. He sincerely believes people can do better, they can work things out, they can work and play in a healthy manner.” And when they can’t, he has other solutions — ones that no uniformed officer could ever get away with. “Sometimes I think two kids should kick the shit out of each other — just once, to get it over with, get it out of their system, awright? If I work for SRS or Spectrum or an outfit like that, I can’t tell you, ‘Come on, I’ll take you up to the parking deck and I’ll watch for the cops while the two of you go at it, mano a mano.” The other night he dispatched two friends to help a disabled man get rid of an unwanted houseguest, who ended up get ting arrested. In a more creative diplomatic moment, he once brought two dueling teens into the food court at the mall, bought them huge sodas, and refused to let either o f them go to the bathroom until they shook hands. “I wouldn’t let them leave until I had an understanding between the two of them that the bullshit out there on the block would not happen anymore.

peace on Church Street. accountant who relied on Highway for information about her troubled teenage daughter. “But I don’t think he is.” In fact his ex-outlaw status may give Highway a credibility that none of the other “legiti mate” peacekeepers on Church Street can claim. Negotiating the gray area between adolescence and adulthood, “He isn’t part of what the kids are rebelling against, or trying to escape from,” says Montgomery. “He is not part of the establishment in any way.” Furthermore, “He has definitely lived a life that many of these kids are contemplating, and he has had those experiences. He definitely has smoked pot, been to jail — all that.” Or as Highway puts it, his voice straining with emphasis: “I ain’t no saint. I have either been there, done that, seen it, been part of it, heard about it or been connected to participants of whatever it was.” A diploma from the school of hard knocks gets this grad respect on Church Street. “The cops? I’ve seen kids say ‘fuck you’ right to their faces,” says owner Rich Draizin at Liquid Energy Cafe. “They don’t treat Highway like that.”

f it’s possible to work a shad owy past to your advantage, Highway does, speaking in riddles about his “background in certain things and connections to other certain things.” But what is remarkable is that his moral code is mostly aligned with the law. “He may feel that pot is okay, but he is very adamant that the

last thing I want is mom-andpop-Q.-public and a baby car riage getting run over by two kids chasing each other down the block.” W hen it comes to Church Street, Highway definitely feels a sense of ownership. Some might say he also has an inflated sense of his own influence and impor tance downtown. He knows the numbers of all the public phones, frequents a handful o f favorite coffee shops and makes his “office” at a table against the rear wall at Uncommon Grounds, “because nobody gets behind my back.” He fills in as a clerk at Record Town whenever he’s around. Even his cosmic view is shaped by the four blocks between Pearl and Main. “If the state of Vermont was considered a universe, Church Street is the center,” he offers. “Everything that goes on from here to Essex to the smallest podunk town the other side of Bennington is talked about on this block.” Although he has a leadership role, he seems to enjoy hanging out as much as the teens around him. He scolds them, plays with their babies, tells stories. The only thing missing is a stoop. To Highway, this Church Street crowd constitutes a “fami ly” — even though he has a real daughter, and grandchild, of his own. “While I’m home, while I’m here, these kids are my world, 24-7,” he insists. For whatever reason, he cares about these teens, addressing them in mock conversations to show how he interacts with them. “I shouldn’t give a shit what you do with your life, but I do. And out side your parents, I may be the only one on the face of the fuck ing planet that does.” It’s a convincing argument, and usually achieves the desired result: getting young people to share problems and feelings they would never bring to their par ents. In Highway, kids see an adult with authentic interest in them, who is not earning a paycheck by keeping them out of trouble. On this particular point, cops, shop owners and kids all agree. “I think he is trustworthy and the kids pick up on that,” says Skip Blakely, co-owner of Uncommon Grounds. Montgomery adds, “I think how he thinks of himself, and how he functions, is like a street worker but without any official title.” Highway makes it perfectly clear has no interest in turning his volunteer job into a paying one. “Because then I’m required to do it,” he explains. And he might have to learn some official mediation skills. His vision for Burlington is much more grand. “I want to be able to walk down my block one day and have total frigging harmony. It’s very utopic, and I don’t expect it to happen in the not-too-distant future. As long as these kids need me to listen to them, counsel them or hold their hand, I’m gonna do it.” ®

on Robisky would rather see “a marginal movie from Mongolia” than virtually any slick Tinsel Town release. The Montpelier engineer regular ly takes a chance on the selec tions at the Green Mountain Film Festival, which plays out in Vermont’s capital city from Friday through March 29. He’s never been disappointed. “I’m willing to live with a few flaws,” Robisky says. “I still find them interesting because they are someone’s vision from another country or another culture. It’s exciting to see things that will never be shown commercially.” That adventurous attitude has translated into success for the annual gathering of cineastes, which began in 1998. “We had a quantum leap in attendance last

Savoy and the City Hall Arts Center are directly across Main Street from each other. The pro gramming is eclectic, from a drama by the legendary Hou Hsiao-hsien set in late 19th-cen tury Chinese brothels entitled Flowers o f Shanghai, to Sound and Fury, Josh Aronsons nonfiction look at the impact of deafness in a family. The latter is up for best documentary at next Sunday’s Oscar ceremonies. Two other entries on the ros ter that have met with critical acclaim are Paragraph 175, which details the Nazi persecution of homosexuals, and George Washington, about AfricanAmerican youngsters coping with tragedy in a small Southern town. Both are nominated for Independent Spirit Awards that will be handed out Saturday and televised on Bravo.

year,” recalls Savoy Theater owner Rick Winston, who organ izes the festival with a committee that includes his wife Andrea Serota and business cohort Chris Wood. “There were close to 3000 admissions, up about 1000 from 1999.” Apparently, ticket-buyers often mistakenly assume the event is calculated to take place the same week as the Academy Awards. “We’ve heard, ‘W hat a great idea: You’re sort of the antiOscars,”’ Winston says. “We think this time period works just fine, if there’s not a blizzard or a freak 70-degree day, because peo ple are restless after being dug in all winter.” With a schedule of 23 screen ings, including documentaries, features and compilations of shorts, the event" boasts an acces sible downtown location — the

oung people with attitude have come to dominate American popular culture, creating an overabundance of born-yesterday celebrities. So, it’s refreshing to bask in Sunburn, a film that chronicles one particu lar group of Irish young people with attitude. They are among the hundreds who trek across the Atlantic Ocean every year to Montauk, at the tip of Long Island, for seasonal jobs. With 39-year-old director Nelson Hume on hand, the 86minute debut feature will play the Green Mountain Film Festival next week in Montpelier. Though it’s a seaside frolic,

this flick is nothing like the Frankie Avalon-Annette Funicello Beach Blanket Bingo genre of the early 1960s, when teenagers were portrayed as either bubbleheads or juvenile delinquents. Sunburn has its share of both, but the contempo rary story zeros in on the experi ences of Europeans giddy with freedom in a resort town during one not-Iong-enough, hot sum mer. The movie is an engaging glimpse of a little-known socio logical phenomenon. “It’s a coming-of-age ritual,” Hume says in a recent phone interview, refer ring to the real-life lure of Montauk for Irish youth that he read about six years ago in a New

York Times article. “They’re on a big adventure. Kids visiting now often had older brothers or sis ters who did, so it’s kind of an insular thing going back to the 1960s.” For the fictitious Davin (Cillian Murphy), the summer getaway is an escape from a preg nant girlfriend back home in Dublin who has been demanding money for child support. Nonetheless, he soon finds him self intrigued by the level-headed Aideen (Paloma Baeza), dispatch er for the busy Pink Tuna Cab Company — which gives her access to all the loc.al gossip. Robert (Barry Ward), a straightarrow type, is tempted by the come-hither looks of an affluent older woman (Ingeborga Dapkunaite) who hires him to do yard work at her stunning waterfront home. After a day of relatively menial labor, these temporary y

Rebels With a Cause, a history 7' lesson on how Students for a Democratic Society tried to make a difference in the 1960s, will be followed by a panel dis cussion, with two of the films activists. The Vermont Traveling Filmmakers’ Showcase, coordi nated by the Vermont Inter national Film Foundation, encompasses eight pieces by five local people, who will all be there to talk about their work. “An Evening W ith Rick Prelinger” spotlights some of his 48,000 short instructional films from the 1940s and 1950s — such as “how to set the perfect table,” Winston explains. Prelinger believes they offer insight into our civilization, beyond the obvious kitsch. Vulcan Junction, which had a North American premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival last August, is one of four movies about teenagers at the Montpelier shindig. Director Eran Racklis depicts the lives of six Israelis and one American, several of them hippies in a sub urban Haifa rock band, in the weeks leading up to the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The festival’s first-ever “fami ly show” will be Princes and Princesses, a French featurelength animation accompanied by Montpelier High School drama students reading the English subtitles for children too young to parler frangais. On the other end of the maturity spectrum, Winston thinks Live Nude Girls Unite! is “bound to raise some eyebrows” in tracing the unionization efforts of exotic dancers in San Francisco. Even Mother Jones might have blushed at this docu mentary by Julia Query and Vicky Funari, which precedes a discussion with women from Vermont’s labor movement. In order to obtain opening night’s Himalaya, a new co-pro duction from France and Nepal about the generation gap in a

emigres — many in their early 20s — know how to kick back at boisterous gatherings in bars or at parties, where the tangle of relationships sometimes unravels. Hume, who co-wrote the script with friend Mark Edgington, imparts a few moral lessons while exploring issues of loyalty and friendship with his impres sive cast. Sunburn never becomes too morose, however, opting instead for a lark that seems far less lascivious than the Florida and Mexico destinations now popular with American college students — like some of those near-orgies on M T V ’s “Spring Break.” “Even though they’re in the United States on a one-time-only work permit for four months, many do find ways to stay,” says Hume, a Boston native who lives in New York. “All the taxi com panies are now owned by former summer-only kids. It’s become a

remote mountain village, the festival was required to show a second selection from the dis tributor’s catalog. “We decided on The Bicycle Thief.? he explains, referring to the 1948 Vittorio De Sica masterpiece about poverty in post-war Italy. “It’s the quintessential neo-realist classic, not usually seen in 35 millimeter any more.” A Swedish tale about the off beat consequences of an illiterate farmer’s newspaper ad seeking a housekeeper is likely to be a crowd-pleaser. “Everybody on the programming committee really responded to Under the Sun, which is guaranteed to make people forget for two hours that it’s late March in Vermont,” Winston suggests. Committee member Susan Ritz agrees. “It’s my favorite film so far.” At last year’s festival, this mother of three young children managed to catch three screen ings in a row every day. “It’s such a festive atmosphere. It really feels like something big is going on,” Ritz says. “Every body’s on the street talking about what they’ve just seen. This is a deeper experience than, ‘Gotta get to a movie tonight!”’ Winston knows that sense of connection is crucial to the enterprise. “We’re always look ing for films that make you feel like you’ve been somewhere, you’ve seen something,” he notes. “They are provocative in ways most Hollywood movies are not. People have come to believe they can trust our films will have a certain level of quali ty. They’re not just entertain m ent.” ®

big community for people from the gray, drizzly streets of Dublin. Mostly, they go to pubs every night. They are Irish.” In 1998, Hume headed for those streets himself to hold auditions after his screenplay charmed producer Jean Doumanian, who also handles Woody Allen’s work. “We want ed it to be as authentic as possi ble,” he explains. “We did not want American actors using Irish accents. I was hoping for a blend of documentary and reality to create a narrative film about that world I saw in Montauk.” Hume’s quest for authenticity might have been his undoing when it came to securing a dis tribution deal. Sunburn was completed in 1999, played at a few larger festivals — most notably, the annual extravaganza in Toronto — and generated

body, gutted like a deer, lies under a tree among the leaves of early fall. On this grisly note William Heffernan begins his 14th novel, Beulah Hill. The year is 1933. When Samuel Bradley, the young con stable of the little Vermont com munity of Jerusalems Landing, begins to investigate the murder, he knows at once that this will be no ordinary inquiry. The body lies on Beulah Hill, known on official maps as Nigger Hill. It is home to Jehiel Flood and his family — African-Americans who have lived there since their forebears came to the state early in the 19th century. Bradley, who narrates the story in the first person, has spe cial reason to be concerned, as he is himself what the locals call

The murdered man, Royal Firman, is the son of the hatefilled racist Preserved Firman, who soon has the town seething with bigotry. Bradley has tried desperately all his life not to take

[sum selves against him, he finds a surprising ally in Frenchy LeMay, the deputy sheriff — a true force for justice and toler ance despite his good-old-boy exterior. The showdown, when it comes, leaves almost no one unscathed. According to the jacket copy, Heffernan stumbled upon the idea for Beulah Hill while look ing for a house in Vermont — he now lives in Huntington. And what a secret history he has uncovered. The mere existence of historic black communities in the Green Mountains may be a big surprise to many Vermonters, even those whose own families go back generations. Like local authors Howard Frank Mosher and Jeffrey Lent, Heffernan has taken the polish off Vermont’s idealized image of tolerance,

abolitionism and the Underground Railroad to expose a harsh reality beneath. Bradley explains, I do know that free Negros, men and women who were never slaves, migrated to Vermont early in the last century. Here they worked as servants in white households, or as day laborers on localfarms. Then, as the years progressed, they were able to buy their own lands, and in doing so tended to cluster together in areas that were inevitably named “Nigger Hill, ” or “Nigger Road, ”or “Nigger Hollow ”by the people in the various towns where they lived. Beulah Hill is, on one level, a classic detective story, begin ning with a corpse and ending with an epic reckoning. In between, Heffernan leads the reader into small-town Vermont of the 1930s. He has a keen eye — as he should; as a journalist he’s been nominat ed three times for a Pulitzer Prize — and fine powers of description. His characters are, for the most part, sharply accurate portraits of everyday , Vermont types transposed quite convincingly back in time. He is also a good listener. While vernacular dialogue can drag on the pace of a story, Heffernan generally gets his accents and, more importantly, the idioms and rhythms down pat. He’s written the best description I’ve yet read of the real Vermont dialect: The accent is almost south ern in the way words are formed and mangled, the major differ ence being that they are bitten o ff sharply, rather than extended in an elaborate drawl. They also are formed in the back o f the throat, something that produces a hollow sound that seems, at times, to give o ff its own echo. Johnny pushed a lock o f straight black hair that had fallen across his forehead up under his redchecked hunting cap. “Never much liked Royal, ”he added, unasked. “Always thought he was a cocky shit an a goddam bully. An old Jehiel’s always been noth in’ but a pain in the ass. ” The accuracy with which Heffernan draws his characters lures the reader into the ugly, unsettling story he is telling. These are people we recognize as friends and neighbors, act ing in ways that Vermonters are not known for. We are left with the uneasy feeling that a lot more than failed farms are crumbling away on forgotten hillsides. But, as Heffernan points out, in the year of 1933 Hitler was beginning his ascent on the wings of hate and fear, and at the University of Vermont Professor Henry F. Perkins was expounding his theories of eugenics, which in some cases advocated involuntary steriliza-

Sub Jim Condon and Louie Manno are back at the mike — this time, with meatballs B y S u s a n G reen

hris Coolidge is shopping at Radio Deli for the first time when he pays the co proprietors, Louie Manno and Jim Condon, a not-so-rare com pliment: “My wife was a big fan of your show.” “Oh, she’s the one,” Condon shoots back, to the delight of the customer. They are referring, of course, to the witty, decidedly un-p.c. program the duo co-hosted for 15 years on Burlington area air

waves. When W KDR owner Ken Squier dropped the “Manno and Condon Show” in favor of an all news format last year, the hosts decided to abandon broadcasting altogether. In January, the combo cooked up a new scheme: Radio Deli. Here the simple meatball — an ancestral Manno recipe — gets all the attention. “The meatball is the center of our strategy,” Manno explains during a recent lunchtime rush of people who all seem to be ordering meatball grinders to go. On April 9, however, the new

place will live up to its name when Manno and Condon return to the radio, resurrecting their gab sessions from the 1200square-foot store on the corner of Pearl and Pine streets. “When Ken asked if we’d like to come back, it blew me away,” Manno says. Squier contends the decision to give Manno and Condon the boot once WKDR switched to news was “strictly economic, it had nothing to do with their tal ent. We had to make some changes; something had to go. For me, this new idea is perfect.

It’ll be unlike anything else on radio in this region. “A live deli show!” Squier exclaims. “Check your meatballs for microphones.” While seated at a small table in front of coffee urns, the talka tive twosome will once again interview guests, debate local pol itics, render pithy observations and sometimes get a little silly weekdays from 3 to 4 p.m. “We’re a cross between Howard Stern and ‘Nightline,’ but we’re never unkind to people,” says Manno, in a deep, New Yorkaccented voice. “It’s completely

honest and spontaneous, never forced. Sometimes we discuss personal problems: I’ve talked about the fact that I’m manicdepressive. Real emotions equals real radio.” The logistics of the newly configured program could be challenging, considering how packed the place gets when a line of customers winds around shelves of canned goods.

For Manno, “owning a deli catessen is a lot like doing radio. If people don’t like our meatballs anymore, it’s the same as if they tell us, ‘You guys used to be r >» runny. Next to meatballs, humor is the raison d'etre for the twosome and their chef, old pal Pasquale Amedore. They kibitz constantly with each other and with the cross-section of humanity that has patronized the place since it opened: friends stopping by to chat, newcomers hoping to meet the celebrities in person and justplain-hungry folks from the ’hood. “I’m back for more meatballs,” says Rick Carlson, who was once the landlord of a build ing that housed WKDR. “Did you enjoy their hallu cinogenic properties?” Manno quips. If the meatballs are psychedel ic, Carlson should blame — or thank — Manno’s mother, Mary. It’s Mama Manno’s recipe, hand ed down from her mother in the Old Country, that now lures Vermonters to the Radio Deli. “My mom used to get up before six Sunday morning to

start making the meatballs for dinner, which we had after church. So, I’d wake up to that wonderful smell and eat them for breakfast,” Manno recalls. He credits Amedore, a former cook at Cafe Shelburne and Alfredo’s, with many of the store’s other great dishes and soups. “Pasquale holds this place together. He’s got a million recipes in his head and a work ethic that doesn’t quit.” The trio has been putting in 50 to 90 hours each over a seven-day week. “Louie gets here at 6 a.m.,” I Condon says. “I come in at nine. We normal ly close at 8 p.m. Eventually, we hope to hire some help.” Some has already arrived in the form of John Wilson, a W KDR reporter whose part-time labors at the deli will allow Manno and Condon the luxu ry of doing their daily show. Even after the lunch rush, the door continues to open every few minutes, and the phone rings fre quently. “Make sure to save some lasagna for Mrs. Parker,” Condon announces after one call. “She’s waiting for the guy to come fix her refrigerator.” Mrs. Parker is surely glad to have these retired radio gods run

art of the Radio Deli’s cheerful ambiance is creatr ed by the tchochkas includ ed in the decor: Among many other artifacts from the Manno collection are a “Lost in Space” lunchbox, “Star Trek” action fig ures, the decidedly non-action figures from “The Simpsons,” a Gumby, The Movie poster, and framed cast photographs — some with autographs — from old TV programs such as “The Honeymooners,” “Mr. Ed,” Green Acres,” “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “The Odd Couple.” Manno and Condon, both 42, are children of the Television Age who chose radio as the best outlet for their boisterous creativity. “TV made me want to get into some kind of show business,” Manno recalls. “My whole family used to sit around watching and laughing. I wound up liking radio better because it’s less corporate.” That was then; this is now. “Most radio is like factory work these days,” Manno points out. Both men were already immersed in the business by the time they first met in the early 1980s. T hat’s when Manno, then based in Pennsylvania, sent a demo tape to the Connecticut station where Condon was work ing as news director. “I told him I wanted to be famous but obscure, like Larry Hovis, who

played Sgt. Carter on ‘Hogans Heroes.’ And he knew exactly who I was talking about. Before long, we could finish each others sentences,” Manno says. “I could tell he was a fast thinker. We became best friends,” explains Condon in a voice a bit higher and more melodious than his partners. When that station went kaput, they parted ways — but not for long. Condon relocated to WJOY-AM in Burlington and recommended Manno for an onair job helping him host a morn ing show on W QCR, the FM arm of WJOY. After three years there, the format began changing to more music, less talk. So Manno and Condon landed at W KDR and, in the early ’90s, became part of a group that bought the station. At first it seemed a charmed life; they were their own bosses; they won all sorts of awards; their rat ings soared. “We saw the potential,” Manno says of their impact. “I think we changed media in Vermont by forcing everybody else to be funny, to do talk radio. We had the highly sought-after audience of males from age 25 to 54.” Amedore even joined them for a brief stint with a weekly cooking show, “Mangia Mangia with Pasquale.” But W KDR was undercapi talized and, after a brief partner ship with the company that owns

Maybe we’ll have live bands out there once in awhile. The focus can be a little more local than before.

I didn’t like the way our 20-year careers had ended, like a light being turned off. We left the station in a friendly manner, but there was no closure,” Manno explains. “But then I realized I could still be me without radio. I’m me in the store.” Still, with all that radio expe rience, why turn to food? “There’s something nice about feeding people,” he suggests. “I really go to bed feeling good. As middle-aged guys, we knew that in our field we wouldn’t find work that was acceptable. Jim’s an adaptable, affable fellow, but I don’t think I could work for someone else again.” W ith a budget of about $50,000, Manno invested his own money, borrowed from the Northern Vermont Lending Partners and raised funds from well-to-do friends to start Radio Deli. He and Condon decided to open the business in a section of Burlington that has seen better times. “I’m a Brooklyn boy,” M anno says. “We wanted to establish a certain neighborhood camaraderie that’s possible in this part of town.” Now, as they attempt to re conquer the competitive radio market as sandwich sultans, the pair will no doubt attract a dual

Before World War II, the Queen City was divided into eth nic enclaves. Until the disruption of urban renewal projects in the 1970s, Italian-Americans still laid claim to the area just north of downtown. At the 110-year-old Radio Deli site, Izzo’s Market flourished for half a century and the M&M Market, which Manno calls “a local treasure” operated by the Merola family, fed the masses for almost three decades after that. Manno had no interest in a Church Street location, or in a deli with tables and chairs. “Here, we get a lot of characters, a lot of genuine people, and this neighborhood needed a grocery store more than it needed a restaurant. We have the staples that people need at very reason able prices,” he says, pointing out a $1.39 can of baked beans, a $1.19 tin of tuna and packages of

Why does Swiss cheese have holes in it? Cassie, via America Online N o one wants to face up to this squarely, so I guess it’s up to me. Swiss cheese has holes in it because o f bacteria pass ing gas. Contemplating a typical piece o f Swiss cheese — the majority o f whose holes, by U S D A regulation, must measure between 11/16 and 13/16 o f an inch in diameter — you may think: Here was a little microbe with a serious case o f indigestion. But actually it’s the work o f armies o f microbes, specifically Propionibacteria shermanii. The P. sherm anii consume the lactic acid excret ed by other bacteria (the ones that cause the milk to turn into cheese in the first place) and belch, toot and otherwise exude copious amounts o f carbon dioxide gas. This produces what the Swisscheese industry, hoping to distract from the

THE FABULOUS '50S: WELCOME HOME

GEORGE WASHINGTON TO P.T. BARNUM,

new exhibit at Burlington’s Flynndog Gallery proves that good things come in threes. A trio of artists — Nichole Rita Welch and Judith E. Stone of Burlington and Galen Cheney of Barre — display restrained uses of color, intriguing technical approaches and gravity-defying images rich with symbolic content. Each woman is an established artist who has mastered her respective craft while reexamining the vocabulary of her medi um. Each also produces work with a touch of the surreal. Welch’s Cibachrome color photographs redescribe otherwise mundane moments in time with abstracted spatial relationships and steeply skewed compositions. “Walnut” focuses on a walnut shell that has been stuck onto a car antenna, but the image is tilted about 30 degrees from the edges of

knotted ropes, weathered posts and planks, and a gracefully defined horse in the rest of the piece. Stone’s works are the most technically advanced in this exhibit, and her symbolic vocabulary of rural and nautical allusions — ropes, pulleys, weathered wood — are like a recurring dream with vaguely archetypal content. The same can be said of Galen Cheney’s draw ings and sculptures. “Instrument of Ascension” is a mixed-media drawing that includes a curving rope ladder in the left, with a spoked wheel at its base, all floating in a cloudy atmosphere with positive and negative lines that imply other vague structures in the environment. Cheney sculpts with materials from nature, including salt, beeswax, textiles and tree branches, and creates mixed-media black-and-white drawings consistent with the imagery of the sculptures. Her sculptures “Persephone” and the monumental

the picture and the colors have been both simplified and saturated by the Cibachrome, further distorting reality. Like the works of her co-exhibitors here, many of Welch’s works are nearly monochromatic. “Super Hero Woman,” for example, is a dark, indistinct blue silhouette over whites that have been pushed into shades of pale lavender. “Concrete Shadow” features a sepia brown across the mellow gold of a sun-stained sidewalk. Despite the titles, Welch’s works are mostly non-narrative photographs with a simple but effective mission: solving formal issues beautifully. Judith Stone’s multi-dimensional, mixedmedia drawings literally and figuratively function on many levels. She presents intertwined, almost Baroque images composed in gradations of gray, with just a few additional hues strategically placed in limited areas. Like the rusty reds of “Stronghold Horseflesh,” these ancillary hues seem to dissolve into Stone’s rigorous draftsman ship. So, too, does the limited use of pho tographs. In the large-scale, vertical piece on paper, “Horseflesh,” a black-and-white photograph of a horse’s head has been inserted into a cut-out area near the top of the image. This photo sets the scale of tonalities she uses in her rendering of pulled and

“Babel” are dominated by ladder forms akin to those in “Instrument of Ascension” and other drawings. The purity of fine white salt in Cheney’s installa tion work is particularly appealing. The symbolic connotations of salt add a fresh conceptual element to the work. In “Persephone,” the delicate rope lad der encrusted with cottonwood fibers rises from a stretched ring of salt on the gallery floor. According to Plato, “For from whomsoever Persephone shall accept requital for ancient wrong... she restores in the ninth year to the upper sun again.” Cheney’s ladder has eight rungs, so perhaps her salt in this case represents a journey of redemption? But wait — the German runge means “ring” in English, so perhaps Cheney’s ring of salt is also the first rung of Persephone’s ladder? Whether or not this interpretation is correct, it’s clear that Cheney has specific symbolic reasons for using the materials she does, and that hidden ele ment is part of what makes these works so success ful. Once again curator Bren Alvarez Farrington has assembled a remarkable exhibit by seeing aesthetic unity in the works of otherwise unrelated artists. It’s a pleasure to find everyone — artists and curator — doing their jobs so well, and consistently, at the Flynndog. ®

I can count on one hand the number of times since the last Bush administration I’ve used the word “revelation” in connection with a film, but that’s exactly what this picture is, and on more than one front. For example, I’ve some how managed to remain complete ly unaware of the existence of director Terence Davies, who — as the rest of the world already seems to know — is a fabulously talented filmmaker who’s already amassed a singular and highly regarded body of work (Distant Voices/Still Lives, The Long Day Closes, The Neon Bible). The job Davies does here both as director and as the writer of the script is nothing short of stunning. The House o f Mirth is the direc tor’s somber, nuanced and darkly elegant adaptation of the classic Edith Wharton novel about a beautiful young woman who finds herself cast out of polite society as the result of a series of misunder standings and machinations.

Though set in the New York of 1905, the story has an unexpected ly contemporary flavor. It’s like a costume version of Cruel Intentions. That was revelation #2 for me, that Edith Wharton wrote these savage, savvy books about beautiful people who turn out to be well-dressed cobras. Who pre tend to follow a cumbersome code of propriety while stabbing friends in the back behind closed doors. Using the less powerful as pawns, they generally make the characters in a Jacqueline Suzanne novel look like a bunch of Girl Scouts. The movie is amazingly well acted, considering that its cast is composed almost entirely of refugees from American television. Gillian Anderson stars and — rev elation #3 — this woman can act, big-time and with the best of them. You’d never guess it, based on her performances in the movie spin-off of her show, “The X Files,” or her work in 1983’s DC Cab. But there isn’t a performance under consideration for a Best

Actress Oscar that surpasses the one Anderson gives here. She took me totally by surprise as her char acter transformed over two hours from a cocky upstart flirt into a shadow of herself, betrayed and hanging by a thread. Impressive. Eric (“Chicago Hope”) Stoltz is the young attorney she loves but can’t marry due to social conven tion. Anthony (“Frasier”) LaPaglia is a shady but wealthy figure who buys his way into society and, nearly, into a marriage with Anderson. And Dan Aykroyd is in art-house mode again as a promi nent muckymuck who tries to start an affair with the socialite, is rebuffed and responds by noncha lantly plotting her doom. If you think you don’t go for period drama, don’t let that keep you away from this film. The House o f Mirth may take place at the turn of the last century, but its story is timeless and told with post-modern panache. I can’t think of another little film it would be a bigger mistake to miss. (7)

NOTICE OF TAX SALE

The City of Burlington is changing the way in which it allocates its Community Development Block Grant funds as follows. Beginning with this program year, the City will set aside 5% of its total annual Community Development Block Grant entitlement allocation to fund a Neighborhood Development Grants program. The program will fund eligible local physical development projects. Project proposals must be submitted through one of the City’s seven Neighborhood Planning Assemblies. A Neighborhood Grants Board, made up of one Steering Committee representative from each of the Neighborhood Planning Assemblies and two mayoral appointees, will review applications and make recommendations to the Mayor. Written or oral comments about this change will be accepted through May 11, 2001, at the Community & Economic Development Office, Room 32, City Hall, 863-7144 or 865-7142 (TTY). More information about the Neighborhood Development Grants program is also available at the Community & Economic Development Office.

March 22-28 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Your birthday is your personal N ew Year’s Day, the launch o f a fresh astrological cycle. As you approach this glorious holiday, I’d like to pro vide two assignments that will help you take maximum advantage o f the hatching energy. First, promise your self that you will be voraciously observant. Each day, find at least three details you’ve never previously noticed about the familiar environ ments you inhabit and travel through. Secondly, use all your inge nuity to figure out how to be m oti vated by fun rather than conscience or guilt. Everywhere you go, substi tute “I want to” for “I should” as you cultivate a relentlessly experimental capacity for joy.

your journal as you increase your time on your exercise bike and listen to music sampler C D s so as to track down a new selection o f songs to inspire you. In other words, Gemini, bust through the limitations you’ve previously set on how much intense versatility you can muster. You won’t believe how much you can get done during the next seven days.

CANCER

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): I dare you to unleash a convulsive con fession, Taurus. I challenge you to dredge up every last festering seed o f unacknowledged truth. Grab a pen and paper or put your hands on your keyboard and write nonstop until you’ve churned out a piercingly ten der testimony about your raw secrets, wild sorrow, unspeakable guilt and strange yanks o f destiny. If there’s any smoldering joy or hidden pride or unclaimed triumphs in there, mix that in, too. Send the whole mess to me at Box 150247, San Rafael, CA 949151 or www.freewillastrology.com. I will conduct a ritual o f purification, burning your offerings in my sacred cauldron. As I do, I’ll think fiercely compassionate thoughts about you and visualize all the reasons why you deserve much more o f the smartest kind o f love.

(June 21-July 22): So I bought an unassembled piece o f furniture at Ikea. I’m not stupid, I told myself. How hard could it be to put together? Many frustrating days later — beset by poor instructions, missing pieces and parts that barely fit together — I’d discovered a valuable new secret o f magic. Cursing alone didn’t work, nor did prayer alone. But if coordinated in short bursts o f alter nating rhythm, flinging both curses and prayers turned out to be an excel lent way to attract divine help. I’m convinced I’d still have a pile o f wood on the floor if it hadn’t been for the supernatural interventions I was able to conjure. I recommend this approach to you during the coming days, Cancerian, when you’ll have to perform the equivalent o f construct ing an Ikea entertainment center.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): D on’t bother trying to use logic to figure out the plot twists this week. If you do, you’ll miss the point every time. A better approach would be to culti vate what the poet John Keats called “negative capability.” In other words, (May 21-June 20): It lejfriV f S ^ n A ib f e ’f^rfably ' m the would be a great week to learn a for- )3 midst o f profound uncertainties, mys eign language while playing chess by teries and doubts, without any irrita cell phone as you improve your skills ble reaching after fact and reason.” If in operating a forklift and retrain there’s any sense to be made o f yourself to breathe deeply from your upcoming events, Leo, it’ll be on the diaphragm. You might also consider offbeat, in the odd coincidences and writing with more crazed freedom in out o f the corner o f your eye.

GEMINI

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I haven’t hitchhiked at all in recent years, but when I was 18-22 years old, it was my preferred means o f travel. The first key to success — not always feasible — was to have a woman companion. The second rule: Stand right in front o f a spot that’s easy for a car to pull over to and stop. In other words, make it hassle-free for your potential benefactor to give you the gift o f a ride. A similar approach is advisable in many other situations where you’re angling for an offering: Remove all obstacles that stand in the way o f you getting the object o f your desires. I urge you to keep that uppermost in your mind during the coming week, Virgo.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): You will attract a lot o f cosmic assistance if you apprentice yourself to the arts o f sacred intimacy in the next few weeks. As encouragement, here are three riddles for you to chew on. 1. What are the qualities in yourself that tend to sabotage your love life? 2. What exactly would you have to do to achieve an elegant balance between giving too much and being too selfcentered? 3. Could you actually thrive on the fact that a close, loving rela tionship periodically churns up the dark sides o f both partners?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Prickles, twitches, itches and stings: They’re not always bad, and may even serve a worthy purpose. My allergy to freshly cut grass, for instance, meant I never had to waste my Saturday afternoons mowing the lawn when I was a teenager. And that creepy-crawly sensation that came over me when I first met my sister’s smooth-talking fiance: If I’d have heeded it, I wouldn’t have lent him

the money that he never paid back. Moral o f the story, Scorpio: Make your icky feelings work for you this week.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Cut out this oracle and place it in an envelope along with the ace o f hearts, a petal from five differ ent roses, a half-burned dollar bill and a beautiful photo o f yourself that’s been kissed by the person who understands you best. On the enve lope, write the following: “I am more capable o f surprising myself than I ever knew. I am both wiser and more innocent than I’ve given myself credit for. N ow I am ready to receive revela tions that will make me happier and more useful to other people.” Put this packet under your pillow for three nights, Sagittarius. You will have dreams and visions that give you clues about how to launch the next great story o f your life.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Basements, closets and caves are your power spots this week, Capricorn. Midnight is your lucky color and inward is your lucky direc tion. Your magic verbs are dig, descend and disclose. Your frontier concept is “anamnesis,” which means putting an end to amnesia. In light o f the deep, dark riches that await you at the core o f everything, here are the action steps I recommend: Delve into ancient trunks and reread old jour nals. Remember your ancestors and fantasize about your past lives. Stare at your navel and reminisce about what life was like when you still had an umbilical cord attached there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In January o f 1994 I took a three-day workshop with the mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade.

o potent were the changes he elped catalyze in me that I’m till working on them more an seven years later. I periodi cally refer to the 60 pages o f notes I took back then. They serve as a continuing source o f mystery and teaching. I’m bringing this up, Aquarius, because for the next few weeks there is a window o f opportu nity for you to find an educational experience that’ll play an equally transformative role in your own life. N ow here’s a taste o f Meade’s ideas: Addictions are poor substitutes for the rituals you need but have not yet found.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you could win a free Porsche just by eating a bowl o f live cockroaches, would you do it? H ow about if you could get an innocent man freed from prison by hanging upside down with your legs tied to a tree branch? W ould you live in a cave without bathing for a month if that would win the heart o f an incredibly attrac tive person you adore? Those may all be ridiculous hypothetical situations, Pisces, and yet they’re only slightly more outlandish than the choices you imagine your life is forcing you to make right now. Please try to see that in order to get what you want it’s not necessary to make a sacrifice as big as the one you fear. (7)
