COMPOSING MOYSE Many thanks for Susan Green's perspicacious story on flutist/pianist/composer Louis Moyse ["Marlboro Man," Mar. 13]. As a collaborator on the Moyse recording project, I would like to acknowledge the Vermont Arts Council and Vermont Community Fund for their generous support of this project. This recording, which is bringing Mr. Moyse long overdue recognition for his significant work as a composer, would not have been possi-. ble without funding from these two Vermont grant sources. We are indebted to them. — Karen Kevra Montpelier
your most memorable spring-break moment?
BURNING BERNIE With all the hoopla that Peter Freyne has made regarding Anthony Pollinas obvious hypocritical try at getting the law that he wrote to mean something else, it astonishes me that he has not yet reported on "Ol Bernardo" ducking and weaving from the challenge that Republican candidate for Congress Bill Meub made at his announcement last week. Bill Meub has made a challenge to Bernie Sanders to put his money where his mouth is.
I skied in a bikini in California, while being chased by the ski patrol. — Liz Wood Server, Evergreen Eddy's Williston This is a tough question, because the most memorable moments during spring break are usually those that we, perhaps fortunately, do not remember. Isn't that the point? — Jen Laiime Barista and Supervisor, Starbucks Burlington

Bill Meub challenged Bernie to live up to his word. He challenged Bernie to give Vermonters a new kind of campaign; a campaign that Vermonters deserve; and a campaign that raises the bar and focuses on values, vision and the important issues facing Vermont and America during these uncertain times. Times are different from the way they were in the 1990s. Bernie Sanders is a Progressive and one of the founders of that movement in Vermont. On the issue of campaign reform — like Anthony Pollina, who is also a Progressive and has argued for campaign reform — Bernie has a habit of stating one belief and then doing the opposite. Here are Bernie's words: "...This whole campaign fundraising situation stinks to high heaven. I have fought hard for campaign finance reform, which limits the amount of money that can be spent in an election." "...We must limit the amount of money that a candidate can spend on an election." Bill Meub challenged Bernie to a few simple rules: A campaign spending limit of $750,000 that includes all coordinated and PAC spending. At least $250,000 of [that] must come from Vermont voters. How simple is that?

NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION
'FIGHTING' IRISH Diane Martin's challenge to the Supreme Court about the "Irish" license plate can only be summed one way — Vermont government needs to use more common sense. The flap about the denial of the requested "Irish" license plate is a waste of time and money. This should never have reached the level of the Vermont Supreme Court. The Motor Vehicle Department has the discretion to grant the plate as not being an ethnic slur. The Department has more important work to do. I guess what triggered me on this silly behavior is that I'm

So far, Bernie has refused to accept theSfe rules. Instead, he has said that he needs to wait until after the primary, September 10, to decide. That is outrageous. The time to set the rules is now, at the beginning of the campaign, not when it is almost over. Bernie's words clearly say one thing, his actions another. Vermonters believe a person is no better than his word. So stand by your words, Bernie. Stop thumbing your nose at what you know is right. — George McNeill Danby McNeill is Rutland County Republican chairman.

I Curses, Foiled Again Police looking for the accomplice of Robert Haley, 18, whom they charged with armed robbery in York, Pennsylvania, found suspect David Ruppert, 21, already at the jail. He was paying Haley a visit. "I would assume that he found out that Haley was locked up," West Manchester Township Detective Jeffrey Shell said after Ruppert's arrest, "and probably wanted to know if he told the cops about the robbery."
Double Jeopardy When police in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, charged Donald Guthrie with robbing a coinoperated laundry, he wrote a post-dated check to his bail bondsman. Once he was released, Guthrie needed to raise money to cover the check, so, according to police, he held up a bank in nearby Avis. He made off with nearly $9000, but crashed his car into a tree stump during the getaway and was driven home by an unsuspecting passerby. Police identified Guthrie as the suspect after viewing a security video from the bank and investigating the accident.
Deja Vu The same week that police in Fort Worth, Texas, accused Chante Mallard, 25, of hitting a man with her car, then driving home with him stuck in her bro-
ken windshield and letting him bleed to death in her garage, a Toronto inquest was probing a similar case. Beth Kidnie, 42, was crossing an intersection when she was hit by a car being driven by 84-year-old Pilar Hicks, and dragged for more than half a mile. Hicks, who was convicted of criminal negligence, insisted that she did not see when Kidnie slapped her hands on the hood of the car, or notice Kidnie's body on the driveway after the car was parked. The woman's son, Bill Hicks, told the inquiry that his mother had passed a driving test a month and a half before the accident.
Flush with Pride As a prelude to hosting the 2008 Olympics, Beijing will be the site of the 2004 World Toilet Summit. China's capital, which is notorious for rank public lavatories with little privacy and no seats, won over World Toilet Society officials at the November summit in Singapore by spending $4.8 million between 1987 and 2000 to turn 200 primitive privies into star-rated facilities. The city also pledged to spend $6 million on further improvements in 2002 and $18 million in 2003.
Mea Culpa Police in North Syracuse, New York, charged Kristen E. Amico, 33, with stealing
$19,815.80 from the law firm where she worked by forging signatures on 18 company checks. She pleaded innocent to the charges but admitted forging checks after her family finances got out of hand. Amico is the wife of David Amico, who is the police chief of Cazenovia, New York. She told police she was sorry and promised she wouldn't do it again. • Government investigators said that FBI agents spent more than $ 1800 of taxpayers' money to attend a retirement dinner in Arlington, Virginia, instead of attending an ethics conference in

nearby Quantico, Virginia. The FBI said the agent would repay the money. A number of other agents from around the country were accused of using the ethics conference, which was scheduled for the day after the party, to get the FBI to pay for their travel. • Buffy Guenst, 31, the treasurer of Richland Township, Pennsylvania, was charged with using tax money to finance a $231,000 shopping spree.

flight between Ottawa and Calgary. A CTA tribunal said passengers should not be charged more to accommodate their girth. • Police in Largo, Florida, said that 300-pound Clinton H. Williams, 39, died while sitting on his couch when his weight made a gun that was hidden in the cushions fire accidentally. The bullet entered a major artery in his thigh. Investigators said Williams kept the .45-caliber handgun under the seat cushions so he could defend himself in case someone barged into his
apartment. • West Virginia State Sen. Mike Ross said he opposes requiring obese drivers to wear seat belts. "I've seen individuals have trouble getting under the steering wheel," he said, "let alone put a seat belt » on. • Jennifer Portnick filed a complaint with San Francisco's Human Rights Commission charging Jazzercise with weight discrimination after the company rejected the 5-foot-8, 240-pound woman's application to teach its dance-style exercise class. "Jazzercise sells fitness," Maureen Brown, the company's director of franchise programs, wrote Portnick, who works out six days a week. "Consequently, a Jazzercise applicant must have a higher muscle-fat ratio and look leaner than the public. People must believe Jazzercise will help them improve, not just maintain their level of fitness."
Role Model After inviting former Suffolk, Virginia, businessman Mark Grethen, 44, to Washington, D.C., to accept a Republican of the Year award, GOP officials quickly rescinded the award when they learned that Grethen is serving a 26-year prison sentence for sex crimes involving children.

hird-rate men, of course, exist in all countries, but it is only here that they are in full control of the state, and with it of all the national standards....It would astound no one but the most romantic if the goddess of liberty were taken off the silver dollars to make room for a bas relief of a policeman in a spiked helmet. — H. L. Mencken
(1880-1956) Oh, dear. What will we do about Henry? That's the above-quoted Mencken — "Henry Louis" — one of the sharpest thinkers ever popped on an unsuspecting public, the most prominent critic, journalist and commentator of his day and, to boot, an appalling racist and misogynist. "What, ladies and gentlemen, in hell or out of it, are ^ we to do with the Ethiop?" Mencken wrote in a repellent passage. "Who shall answer the thunderous demands of the

And she recovered. And this is a — it's a post-partum depression." Mencken: "The caveman is all muscles and mush. Without a woman to rule him and think for him, he is a truly lamentable spectacle: a baby with whiskers ... a feeble and preposterous caricature of God."

ity. No one blames the Pope, "ailing" for such a long time now, he's about to match Mother Theresa for longevity. Is that offensive? I hope so. I hope people will scream and shout, but they won't. We live in a "civil society," where nothing is more important than anything else, distinctions are obliterated, sex is blared through every medium and children are taught to be "abstinent" in school. Mencken: "Youth, though it may lack knowledge, is certainly not devoid of intelligence: It sees through shams vith sharp and terrible eyes. When a schoolmaster is an ass, which happens in Christendom more often than not, you may be sure that even the dullest of his pupils is well aware of it. " Consider: An American president who can't speak English. f ("Don't misunderestimate me!"); a "vice"-president building underground bunkers for his ilk; an attorney general who declares dissent to be treason; and a press so craven it wears the flag on its dick. I remember the days when you could get arrested for abusing the flag. It wasn't meant to be hung from cars, for instance; it was to be burned, with all respect, rather than cheapened in any way. The flags I see tonight from my hotel window — filthy, tattered, faded in grimy windows — seem to me frankly like so many swastikas. Although I think they'd have made you keep them cleaner in Germany. Mencken: "If the American people really tire of democracy and want to make a trial of Fascism, I shall be the last person to object. But if that is their mood, then they had better proceed toward their aim by changing the Constitution and not by forgetting it." Come on, somebody — get upset! Mencken: "Constructive criticism irritates me. I do not object to being denounced, but I can't abide being schoolmastered, especially by men I regard as imbeciles." (7)

emerging coon Mencken hated "Negroes" and he hated women, but do we throw out all his thought and all his writing because he was, as we insist for ourselves, "not perfect?" Mencken: "What I really want to do is to call attention ... to the timeworn and doddering delusions of the race, to clear away the corruptions that make government a game for thieves and morals a petty vice for old maids and patriotism the last refuge of scoundrels — to think, in brief, as men whose thinking is worthwhile." Consider: A mother of five children in Texas is forced to breed like a sow at the command of her pastor and her husband — who also demanded that she "home school" his spawn. She drowns the brood one by one in a bathtub and is judged to be "sane" and to "know right from wrong." She's the only one who does, apparently, and she'll spend the rest of her life in jail for it. The husband's been seen on T V ever since it started,
needed or desired. Anyone who's ever been forced to take a shower after gym class with a herd of adolescent boys knows that "innocence" isn't high among their traits. Faith, I take it, is the triumph of ideal over weakness. But no one asks what good our pederast priests might be doing elsewhere, while Jimmy and Tommy are smirking in their cassocks. No one wonders or even guesses about the thought and labor they put in for people who — it is now proved, if the Jesus tale hadn't done so already — will slay them the moment they fall. Mencken: "The ideal state for a philosopher is celibacy tempered by polygamy." No one asks where the parents of these boys were, or why they can't and won't speak an open word to their children about human sexual-

don't stick around for long, either. Because the farm is a Canadian corporation, the profits from this "Vermont" venture slip over the border. "Vermont is left with the manure, pesticides, flies, lower property values, and an unsightly metal building in what was once a cornfield," said Rural Vermont's Roberts. Where does that leave the controversial ova operation? Commissioner Graves has until April 21 V 1 to make his ruling. , JJJjj "They're still going to have to show us that they can get rid of all their manure ; before we sign their expansion permit," said ag department spokesman Phil Benedict. It's no secret, however, that Graves has been highly supportive of the Vermont Egg Farm. In fact, shortly after its expansion proposal was submitted, the commissioner appeared on television declaring, "the Vermont Egg Farm is good for Vermont's economy." Because of the way the Vermont Legislature set up the regulations for largefarm operations, Graves is wielding all the power on this one — he alone gets to decide if the permit should be granted. No one, BY not even the egg farm's | MICHAEL closest neighbors, have a legal standing in the COLBY $ process. Under the state's mmmmsmmsmmmm "Right to Farm" statutes, farms and farm operations are exempt from the kind of development rules spelled out in Act 250 that other industrial operations must adhere to. Rural and small-farm advocates are concerned that if large-farm regulations aren't changed, and Graves keeps rolling out the red carpet for operations like the Vermont Egg Farm, the state may end up hosting other industrial farming projects. Roberts points to initiatives in Nebraska and

he shit almost hit the land last week at Burlington's Intervale. That is, until its board got wind of a potential controversy and pulled the plug on plans to take nearly 3.6 million pounds of chicken manure per year from the Vermont Egg Farm in Highgate. After getting an earful from small-farm advocates, environmentalists and its own growers, board member Will Raap announced late last week the Intervale was officially pulling out of its manure contract with the egg farm. The Vermont Egg Farm has been mired in contention since Governor Howard Dean and the Vermont Department of Agriculture first welcomed i r ' ° state in 1996. Owned and operated by a corpora^ 1 directed by Canadian Lucien Breton, the farm currently has 100,000 laying hens, with plans for up to 700,000. Complaints of flies, odors, truck traffic, compromised quality of life for neighbors and the chickens — and, yes, manure — have resulted in a slew of bad press. The Intervale Compost Program's contract with the Vermont Egg Farm was part of the farm's expansion permit filed with the ag department. The farm is seeking to more than double its number of laying hens to 235,000. In 1998, a similar request by the farm was denied when Agriculture Commissioner Leon Graves ruled it did not have an adequate manure management plan. This time, the expansion was tied to the potential Intervale "rescue" plan to take the waste created by the new birds. Farm advocates and environmentalists were struck by the irony of the unholy alliance: Burlington's chief proponents of sustainable farming had jumped into bed with an operation that has come to symbolize the introduction of industrial farming techniques in Vermont. Last Wednesday, a broad coalition of groups spearheaded by Rural Vermont gathered for a press conference at the Statehouse to denounce the egg farm and the Intervale's role in what they called "enabling" its expansion. Intervale officials were getting heat from the inside, too. Only hours after the press conference, all 15 participating farmers unanimously passed a resolution urging the Intervale Compost Project to withdraw from its egg farm contract. The board complied. Despite the pull-out, Intervale executive director Dave Lane remained committed to the original reasoning behind the deal. "We know it looked bad," he said. "But we felt — and still feel — we could have taken a bad situation and made it better. At the same time, we saw the bad press coming m and we didn't want to hurt the Intervale i or any of its farmers." Lane points out that other composting companies in the region are willing to take the egg farm's manure. The Middlebury-based Vermont Natural Ag Products, makers of "Moo Doo," was also listed on the egg farm's expansion contract for its willingness to haul away 2.2 million pounds of manure per year. While the fight over manure between the former allies might be over, the bigger question is about Vermont's role in regulating industrial ag operations like the Vermont Egg Farm. And it's here that the Intervale and Rural Vermont see eye to eye. Cramming 230,000 birds into cramped cages is a long way from the small farming ideal that the Vermont ag department likes to promote. You sure won't see that image on any of the department's promotional materials. Nor will you see these "local" eggs in your neighborhood grocery store. Ironically, not one of the millions laid in the Green Mountain State will be sold here, and the profits

South Dakota that prohibit corporate ownership of agricultural operations — an effort to differentiate these entities from family farms. In those states, a corporate farm is defined as one that is owned by people not actively involved in its day-to-day operations. In other words, if you don't live there, you can't farm there. "Vermont's Department of Agriculture needs to be putting its time, energy and resources into strengthening our family farms," declares Roberts. "Vermont Egg Farm is not a farm. It's an industrial production facility that happens to use live birds as a means of production." (7) Michael Colby is a writer from Montpelier and the editor of the monthly newsletter, Wild Matters.

continued from page 4a ment backs right-wing death squads in Colombia and the Philippines, turns a blind eye towards Afghan warlords aligned with Central Asian "narco-terrorists," and allows the Turkish militia to penetrate Iraq's no-fly zone for systematic genocide of the Kurdish population while ghosts of Armenians and Cyprus Greeks weep. In a true democracy, the people are responsible for the actions of their government. Perhaps, though, in this 24/7, bread-and-circus society, democracy is a myth. Recently, the Imperial Residents administration underwent worldwide condemnation for escalating global nuclear tension, while claiming it vehemently craves diminishing these weapons of mass destruction. Does this rhetoric benefit homeland security, or does it cater to the Jim Jones/Hale-Bopp mindscape of Christian fundamentalists fulfilling an Armageddon/ rapture prophecy described in a holier-than-thou ancient text? Returning to the local political coliseum, "Inside Track" [Jan. 30] eloquently reported how a disciple of this country's leading madrassas attempts to infiltrate Vermont politics. Any analytically minded receiver of Rev. Stertzbacks 2000 AD electioncycle political literature understands that this man and his coterie desire to rule the flock of the Green Mountain State in an overtly religious manner akin to Islam. Arrivederci, Mr. Straube, you are wrong. Mr. Freyne does not stretch reality with his branding of this group. Yes, we are Talibanesque, and until this fact is acknowledged, the world lives in fear. P.S. — Regular readers of "Weekly Mail" may notice that I substituted "Talibanesque" for "Taliban" in my final sentence. In my previous letter [Feb. 27], quotation marks enclosing "Taliban" were inadvertently removed during the printing process. It is not my intent to imply that we are literally the Taliban, but rather that we share its nature by believing that our belief provided justification for our actions, no matter what the consequence. Don't feel bad, the Romans held the same conviction.
cess: absolutely attractive and crammed with more scrumptious, irresistible food than the supermarket-bred would imagine. Bulk foods to keep you within budget, and others to tempt you out of it again. Unsupermarket-like produce to make a fresh-food skeptic almost reconsider. Edible broccoli? By golly, yes, and worth every cent of $2.79/lb (the crowns, anyway). So, for convenience, I'll go there, and for delectable, unusual foods. I'll be thankful I can afford a 20 percent rise in my food bill; most people hereabouts can't. And that's the second qualification. Most of us will continue commuting to Price Chopper for large sizes, double coupons, sales and loss leaders, and I for low-fat and low-salt varieties that a small market sadly can't give shelf space to. But let's hope that it starts evolving to meet demand. It should give more shelf space to — gasp! — Aunt Jemima pancake mix, for instance, and less to Thai noodles; less to locally baked breads that grow moldy after three days. And, especially, start evolving to achieve its social potential. It needs to reach out to its real population base, pricewise and otherwise. It might, for instance, offer specials for elders and free delivery to shut-ins. Touted as a locally owned, greener, healthier, socially more responsible alternative to MegaFoods, City Market is an experiment of statewide, even national significance. A good experiment and a good start, but not yet for all the people. — Fred G. Hill Burlington

f you want help unraveling the knot that is The Probable Pirandello's Wife, playwright Herb Propper is the last person to ask. "Why don't you see it yourself and tell me what it's about?" he says with a guffaw. "I think it's a metaphysical exploration of really complex, neurotic, erotic relationships between people and their imaginations." Right. The plot of the play, performed this week at Burlington's FlynnSpace, is slightly less abstruse than Propper's description. Luigi Pirandello was an acclaimed Italian playwright, most famous for his clever "dreamedy," Six Characters in Search of an Author. In Propper's account, Pirandello is already famous and lives in a remote villa with his troubled wife, known here only as "Wife." In each scene, a new character enters — a schoolgirl, an old man. But while they interact with Pirandello and his Wife, talking, arguing, even seducing, these characters
aren't real. They are fantasy friends, either invented by Pirandello's overactive imagination or his Wife's delusional mind. The play takes this strange fact for granted: Most of these ghostly characters will gladly admit they don't exist. The Wife has conjured up a lover, a young cavalier with a mane of black hair, but she is always facing away from him. The script offers little explanation for these strange beings, who demand more attention as the play progresses and slowly, torturously tear the Pirandellos' marriage apart. Propper is a professor emeritus at Johnson State College, where he still teaches theater off and on. Back in his own college days, he scored a role in Six Characters and fell in love with Pirandello's heady, unpredictable prose. He has penned four of his own plays since. This latest project began a couple years ago, when he began to wonder what Pirandello's wife was like. Much like Zelda Fitzgerald, she is remembered only as the loopy spouse of a famous writer.
Casting the couple — or any historical personage — is a unique challenge for a playwright. Fortunately, Propper is well equipped for the task. Aside from teaching theater history, he is also certified in psychodrama — a method of therapy that encourages clients to "act out" their fears and emotions. What he calls "spontaneous theater" has enriched his script with improvised psychology and opportunities for characters to interact with the audience and with onstage ghosts. Although Propper calls his play "an ongoing work in progress" and an "experiment," his dialogue achieves the "sort of poetic" ring that he admired in the original Pirandello. Characters deliver riddlelike lines that are as provocative as they are ambiguous. "Sometimes," the Wife says to her daughter, "I wish you were a ghost so you could haunt n
me. "I really have no idea what people are going to feel like, seeing it," Propper concedes jovially. "I'm

T
he actors from Green Candle Theater are mumbling to themselves as they pace in erratic circles around the FlynnSpace. Each actor is lost in thought, struggling to remember lines. Tracey Girdich flips through the hefty script in her three-ring binder as Jillian Mack searches the rows of chairs for her mug of coffee. Meanwhile, Bridget O'Connor wanders along the aisles, chuckling to herself: "I should really be looking at my lines. But I guess I should already know them by now, right?" It's the first tech rehearsal for Pirandello's Wife, and the actors are running through the whole show for the first time in the black-box FlynnSpace. The set is minimal: a doorway, a few freestanding pillars, a birdbath, a potted plant and two office chairs. These unassuming objects will provide the ingredients for the morbid lust and madness of Pirandello and his" Wife. Propper actually lets you read their minds. "I love seeing what people are thinking," says the
energetic O'Connor, who plays Pirandello's aloof daughter, one of the three "real" characters. "When Pirandello thinks of someone, they're there." Playing an imaginary "Father,"Seven Days political columnist Peter Freyne echoes O'Connors zeal. "Listen to the way the words bounce. They bounce!" He giggles at the notion. "Plays can't just be 'fuck you, fuck you.' I started reading the script and I ^ |J couldn't stop." John Carl plays the Wife's fantasy lover, a challenging role for anybody: At one moment, he's a smooth playboy. When she wills him to be younger, he morphs into a naive adolescent touching a woman for the first time. Then, inexplicably, he transforms into a goose-stepping fascist, speaking with a comical German accent. In real life, Carl is an easygoing guy with sleepy eyes who manages a comic book store in Burlington. And how does he feel about not being real? "Whenever you're acting, you're not real," he suggests. "But the role is liberating, really. The play is being created while we do

"I like the power," Girdich says, "the challenge of creating a mutable character." The mutation is more than a descent into madness. The Wife and Pirandello squabble over possession of their imagined friends, passing them back and forth like tennis balls. This is not your average community theater fare. And Green Candle is not a

Alex Ball, who plays Pirandello, could use some coaching — his style is offhand, even indifferent. For a tormented artist in an unpredictable world, Ball needs to be more, well, ballsy. But for a mostly amateur cast, these actors are giving the play the devotion and seriousness it deserves. They understand the ideas of the work; all that's left is to find the gut-level emotion of it.
changing spotlights cast shadows across her face, accenting her cheekbones, then her eyes, as she scans the empty horseshoe of seats around her. An ominous, old-timey piano tune plays through the backstage speakers. O n this bare, lonely stage, you can almost see the confident Girdich transforming into a less certain person, as if the unfinished set reflects her characters derangement. Suddenly, she abruptly stands and flutters backstage. Girdich has vanished fully into the mind of Pirandello's Wife. (Z)

be desired, but he provides comic relief to the main characters' otherwise tense residence. Strong personalities in close quarters heighten the drama in The Haunting of L. Duvett is especially cramped, as he is forced to work in a darkroom with an exacting, threatening boss. Readers don't necessarily feel this claustrophobia but are instead repaired to this strange, treacherous — but not uninviting — universe of Linn's creation. Author and playwright David Mamet, a summer neighbor of the author in Central Vermont, has praised the "insistent otherness" in his work — a sense of a world within the world. Duvett also makes note of this quality in his own world: " O n certain days and nights, Halifax at large just seemed blocked out," he says. "The Haliburton House Inn, for better or worse — often worse — contained world enough." While the dark forces at work outside this microcosm are not mined to much effect, escaping into the time and place of these grand but half-empty hotels is enjoyable — like the voyage aboard The Titanic before the ship reached the iceberg. T h e unsavory activities taking place under these roofs eventually give The Haunting ofL. plot m o m e n t u m in the last of its destinations, Halifax. As Linn curries favor with the local police — he shoots a full roster of their portraits — his villainous potential grows stronger. So does his own "haunting," however — loosening his grip on reality — which leads to a most unpredictable climax and one more catastrophic photograph. These contrivances in The Haunting ofL. are at times unconvincing. T h e work leaves a lasting impression, but its mysteries will be most compelling to those who already believe: Norman's gathering fan base. Readers who approach this work with a more skeptical eye may find it a bit out of focus. ®

istory was made and justice done on a number of fronts Sunday night. Not that deserving people didn't leave the 74th annual Academy Awards empty-handed. As everyone knows by now, though, both Best Actor and Best Actress Oscars were won by AfricanAmericans for the first time. In fact, Halle Berry is the first black actress to win for work in a leading role, period — in this case, for Monster's Ball. Denzel Washington was only the second black actor to do so — for Training Day. Serendipitously, the first happened to be on hand to collect a lifetime achievement honor. It was a highlight of the evening when Washington and Sidney Poitier saluted one another across

quipped, "Thanks very much. T h a t makes up for the strip search." H e then introduced a Nora Ephron-created pastiche of classic films shot in New York City, opening with Allen's own Manhattan. It was a nice touch. As was the portion of the ceremony devoted to Robert Redford's Lifetime Achievement Award, though one got the distinct impression he wanted to make the point that neither his achievement nor his lifetime were quite a done deal yet. Academy, ever hear of a little More from the nice surprise file: rumors of Ryan O'Neal s imminent expiration appear to be exaggerated.

that's entertainment. Let's face it though, Russell Crowe's got to be walking around asking himself what more an actors supposed to do to win another one of these deals. His performance in A Beautiful Mind was the best thing about the picture, and he's practically the only one associated with it who didn't go home with an Oscar. Maybe v the Academy should have made like Olympic judges and given out a second first prize. And Jennifer Connelly? C o m e on. In what possible way was she the Best Supporting Actress in a film this year? For my money, Marisa Tomei did infinitely more interesting work in In the Bedroom. High on the list of things we probably could have lived without: that goofball backstage newsdesk set-up, from which "anchors" Donald Sutherland and Glenn Close performed cohost chores like handling the transition to commercial breaks. And gaily colored members of Cirque du Soleil running around and striking fanciful poses all over the place. Not to mention the show's record-shattering running time of four hours and 23 minutes.

I say we bag the p re-show fashion chat, along with the Barbara Walters special, and just get this party started earlier. I don't know about W h o o p i Goldberg, but I've got to get up early in the morning. T h e scandal of the 2002 Oscars has to be the snubbing of Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge. Somehow the groundbreaking musical was good enough to merit a Best Picture nomination, but Luhrmann wasn't a good enough filmmaker to merit a Best Director nomination for making it? Lord of the Rings was a more daring, original and visionary movie? Black Hawk Down? I don't think so. But their directors got nominated.
And talk about history making: Not only did Barbara Walters fail to make any of her three pre-show interview subjects weep, a couple of them — Sarah Jessica Parker and Halle Berry — even chided her for trying. N o w

n some cultures, the parents of a 16-year-old girl would plot their daughters future by consulting the local matchmaker. As ours began the spring semester of her junior year in high school, David and I did the academic equivalent: We paid a call to the college-guide section at our local bookstore. We were initiating the first step in a yearlong rite of passage that will end up — we hope -— telling us which institution of higher learning will help usher our elder child into adulthood.
We've seen Sophie through lots of life changes, from solid food to dating, so college choice isn't the first milestone to send us running to the experts. But how were we to choose from the intimidating mass of oversized directories available? My analytical husband wanted verifiable facts and figures: enrollment, test scores, percentage of faculty with doctorates. I craved more flavor: Did the the students tend toward brown rice or Jell-O shots? Which campuses have nice trees? The Fiske Guide to Colleges seemed to satisfy us both. Colorful writing describes Marlboro College students as "crazy, dedicated, love-struck, joyful, cynical, conscious freaks

who go blasting around campus in a frenzy of creative and destructive energy." Augmenting these word pictures, sidebars list more objective variables like acceptance rate and percentage of students receiving financial aid. In the world according to Fiske, Middlebury Colleges academics earn four pen-in-hand icons, out-ranking the University of Vermont. But UVM's "five" in social life way out-parties Middlebury's "three." While we boned up at Borders, however, Sophie stayed home doing her school work, or hanging out with her boyfriend, or whatever. She seemed perfectly content with her life the way it was at the moment, and hadn't yet shown much interest in exploring the next step. We brought our trophy home and laid it on the coffee table, like a salt lick for a deer, then sat back and waited for her to find it. We wanted to nudge her without appearing too pushy. Days passed. W h e n she didn't open the book on her own, we studied it in depth ourselves, and checked off those institutions we deemed worth considering. W§ weren't the only ones trying to spark Sophie's interest. Around Valentine's Day, not long after their PSAT scores were released, she and her friends began receiving collegiate come-

ons in the mail. Like unattached guys prowling the perimeter of a mixer, the mailings we've seen fit just about all types. Some schools claim only to want you to be happy, wherever you end up. Just ask, and Skidmore will gladly send you its useful "Ten Tips for a Successful College Interview." Other schools project an air of ironic wit. "You might be distracted by the tropical beauty of Florida," winks one letter. "If so, the University of Miami is not for you." Ohio Wesleyan pants with flattery: "You are inquisitive. You have imagination. You have talent." Some colleges seem desperate to assert their uniqueness. Bennington's three-fold card shuns the expected images of smiling students and ivy-clad buildings in favor of a da Vinci drawing of hands and Dylan's handwritten lyrics to "The Times They Are a-Changin." The enclosed reply card depicts an empty frame and invites, "describe yourself." You just know that Middlebury College is one of a kind, because its stylish mini-book is unlike any other — except Oberlins, which looks as if it was conceived by the exact same PR firm. Seeing them side by side is like watching two debutantes arrive at a ball dressed in identical gowns.
Amidst all this posing and positioning, what does stand out is the no-bullshit approach. "It's that time of year, when students begin searching for the perfect college and when colleges begin competing to recruit promising students," acknowledges St. Mary's College of Maryland. Even more up-front is Loyola College, also in Maryland, which begins its carefully worded letter, "Your PSAT scores suggest that your SATs will probably meet our admission guidelines... although SATs are only one factor in our evaluation." Sophie appreciated Loyola's honesty. But she wasn't tempted to fill out the reply card. In this world of cyber-dating, it's hardly surprising that colleges are also strutting their stuff on the Web. Every snail-mail solicitation includes the school's Web site address, and most assign the prospective student a personal password and user'name, the better to track — and pursue — whoever's biting. T h e purported audience of these college home pages is kids. But so far, I've clicked on a lot more of them than Sophie has. And, I must say, I find these sites mighty appealing. I've enjoyed a virtual tour of Brown University, lingered over the daily dinner m e n u at Vassar, and grooved to the ambient
music accompanying a blurb describing Columbia as "nestled in and enlivened by the seriously turbo-charged city of New York." > I want to attend every one of the faculty concerts on Oberlins activities calendar. And how can I not fantasize about enrolling in a class at Williams entitled "Stupidity and Intelligence"? If I were an actual high school junior. I could do more than simply peer longingly at these pages. I could e-mail a current student, schedule an oncampus interview, even submit my application, all from the comfort of home. But I've been there, done that, 30 years ago, and now it's Sophies turn. I can natter all I want about youth being wasted on the young. But my primary role is to point the kid in the right direction, and then try to figure out how to come up with the dowry, er, tuition.

Presents the featured artist for March:
ELIZABETH SHOWERS rial, develop social consciousness, find a life path. Macalester boasts that its students are "committed to high intellectual performance," as if brains were gasoline. Less driven students are reassured that at Muhlenberg they can "take the time to taste, to sample, to explore." Swarthmore challenges, "Is it enough to create new knowledge? Or do you want to make the world better with what you know?" The more selective — and expensive — schools intimate access to influence and the automatic imprimatur of status. Wellesley's letter touts "an extensive alumnae network of successful women... eager to help you achieve your career goals." The University of Pennsylvania introduces itself as "one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious institutions." What are our objectives? In essence, David and I are trying to replicate in Sophie our own student selves. For four blissful years at Hampshire College, we basked in an extended adolescence, enjoying nearly all the freedom of independent adulthood while assuming almost none of its responsibilities. We stretched our brains further than we'd ever stretched them before. We spent late nights and long breakfasts cracking jokes with clever friends. We got into graduate school. We found each other. The good life we're living today is a direct outgrowth of those years. Would we be just as Happy and productive if we'd gone somewhere else? No way to know. Given that, the best we can do is try to make available to our daughter the same range of options our parents offered us, and hope it works out as well for Sophie. Ultimately, the choice has to be hers. But before that can happen, she needs to get engaged... in the process. The best way to pique her interest, Ifigured,was to give the girl some face time with her envisioned future by visaing a couple of college campuses. David worried that these pilgrimages actually do more to muddy than to clarify one's thinking. "What if it happens to Pe raining the day of your visit?" he suggested. "What if the music she hears through a dorm window happens to be by her favorite band?" Spending such a brief time in a place creates a
very vivid impression based on an extremely random sample, he contended. I countered, "How can we spend $30,000 a year on a place we've never seen?" Before hitting the highway, we sampled the local product. Though David has worked at UVM for 15 years and we live just a few blocks from campus, the experience proved informative. We discovered that student guides walk backwards. We heard
Nevertheless, our visit did have the desired effect. As we left the campus, course catalogue in hand, Sophie chatted authoritatively about concentration requirements, field work and study abroad. Whether or not she ends up attending — or even applying to — Vassar, she was starting to imagine herself as a college student and seemed to be liking what she saw. Her enthusiasm increased at Wesleyan, where the campus felt lively — and the weather was warmer. Sophie hated the cinderblock, graffitiscrawled dorm. But she loved the way kids were lying flat on their backs in the middle of the ^ sidewalk during fct lunch. By the time we'd worked our way through the maze of busy, well-equipped studios — painting, printmaking, sculpture, film and more — she was sold. And so was I. But what if Sophie's school choice turns out to be a love unrequited? What if, after a beautiful courtship and honeymoon, our daughter wakes up in a lousy marriage?
I've enjoyed a virtual tour of Brown Universit k lingered over the dail inner menu at Vassar, and grooved to the ambienr music accompanying a lurb describing Columbia about the intricacies of meal blocks and points. We learned that the Fleming Museum once mounted an exhibit featuring Elvis Presley's gallstones, and that the best place to study is a certain balcony in Billings Student Center. Towards the end of the tour, we were shown the school's vast athletic complex — a part of campus our decidedly nonsports-oriented family had rarely seen. As we trekked from the tennis and basketball courts to the pool, past the ice rink and the spanking-new weight room, Sophie finally focused. "I'm not going anyplace with a phys-ed requirement," she declared. Two days later, we glided through the gothic stone gate of Vassar. We'd decided to visit this school based on its size, location and test scores, as well as what Fiske describes as its "curricular flexibility." We had been driving through snow and rain all morning. But as we climbed out of the car, the sky cleared. "I'm going to go here because the sun's out," Sophie announced. Over the next couple of hours, we made a list of equally questionable reasons to like the place. Our pizza lunch was cheap and tasty. Our witty, backwardswalking guide wore bowling shoes like Sophie's boyfriend's. The dorm room we saw featured a magnificent bay window. Vassar's campus is a registered arboretum — a strike against the school, in Sophie's book, because it means tree-climbing is not allowed.
My concerns crystallized during the information session we attended before heading home. Our group included the worried family of a high school senior who had turned in her applications and was waiting to hear the results. After patiently answering question after anxious question from the girl's high-strung mother, the admissions officer finally turned to the daughter. "Look," he said, smiling kindly. "People get this romantic notion that there's one perfect school for them out there, and if they don't get into it, their whole life will be ruined. But that's just not true. There are lots of places where you can get a great education, and I'm sure you'll end up at one of them." His words were a comfort to us all. I just hope our family remembers them next April, when we've reached the other end of this dance we've just set into motion. By then, Sophie will have gone from deciding between beaus to hoping to be chosen. In matters of the mind, as of the heart, it's easier on the ego to be pursued than to pursue. But what really counts is what happens after the chase. The bottom line in both is, if worse comes to worst, there's always the option to transfer. ®

iiber-organizer CHRIS W O O D is the man about montpelier BY S U S A N GREEN
CHRIS WOOD is nursing a double mocha latte at the Capitol Grounds in Montpelier, and he seems to know every hippie, yuppie and crusty farmer who comes into the coffeehouse. Even those who don't greet him tend to take notice. At 6-foot-4, the lean political activist and arts agitator stands out in any crowd. Plus, Vermont Magazine selected him as one of the state's top 20 "movers page 2 0 a

and shakers" a few years back. A celebrity in his hometown, he's apparently a humble one with selfless ambitions. "Central Vermont is as big as I like to get," 55-year-old Wood says of his numerous political, social and artistic endeavors. "Smaller is better. My focus is local. The intimacy seems more real to me." And his choice of an upscale caffeinated beverage? "I've never had one before," he points out with bemusement. You could say Wood's cup runneth over: A long-time member of the Vermont Progressive Coalition, he calls himself a "close friend and informal advisor" of Anthony Pollina. Wood also works part-time as a fundraiser and outreach coordinator for the area's Community Land Trust; serves as president of Studio Place Arts, an ambitious cultural facility he helped establish in Barre; remains linked to the capital campaign to secure a new location for Montpelier's homeless Pyralisk Art Center; runs the projector one night a week at the Savoy Theater and puts in an untold number of hours to help coordinate the annual Green Mountain Film Festival, which winds up Sunday. Politics should be centered on "building community, being with people whose hearts and minds are open and defending those who are the most powerless among us," says Wood, whose idealism tends to be inseparable from the practical ability to make things happen on a day-to-day basis. "He has a constant to-do list with who knows how many items on it, but always manages to get them all done. And Chris is a synthesizer: He believes that the more collaboration, the better," observes Rick Winston, owner of the Savoy Theater and Wood's pal since the mid-1970s. "Chris has always been the behind-thescenes, implementation, detail guy, and the least self-aggrandizing person I've ever met," suggests Ellen David Friedman, an organizer for the Vermont National Educational Association who got to know Wood about 25 years ago "in the movement."
march 27, 2 0 0 2
On one recent March afternoon, "the movement" drew him to the press conference where Pollina announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor. Unlike two previous Pollina runs for elected office, this time Wood will not be the campaign manager. In fact, this is a day free of most obligations, and he's headed for the Studio Place Arts darkroom to develop the film in his Nikon. "I'd been wanting to get back into photography for a long time," Wood says of the almost three-decade dry period before his rebirth as a shutterbug earlier this year. Any defining snapshot of Wood might be a bit blurry. In a state brimming with powerhouse radicals, he's constantly on the go to right society's wrongs. Middle age has not necessarily slowed him down, but, after a family tragedy four years ago, the man with so many plans is now more philosophical and prone to reflection. "Chris has been the most tireless, unremitting, dawn-till-dawn organizer any of us knew," Friedman notes, "but he's begun to take steps to become more threedimensional." Wood acknowledges a penchant for existential yearning. "This world, in a political sense, is foreign to me," he says, "like I was made for somewhere else, some other universe."
W
ood's childhood universe was Newton, Massachusetts. The path to a life of commitment in Vermont began in a comfortable Republican household as the youngest of three brothers. Wood's mother Mary can trace her WASP roots almost as far back as the Mayflower. His Catholic father, Frederick, was a firstgeneration American with Ukrainian immigrant parents. Somewhere along the line, the Old World moniker "Yablonsky" was replaced by the less ethnically distinct surname. After playing basketball in high school and scooping at the town's ice cream store,
Wood enrolled in Newton Junior College. "I was not interested in academics at all," he recalls. "It was clear the military was going to grab me because I was a B or C student. So, in 1965, I joined the Navy to avoid being drafted into the Marines. At 19, I hadn't formed any social or political consciousness yet." He can thank the armed forces for changing that. "The vast majority of enlisted people were anti-war and smoking hashish or grass," Wood recounts with a grin. "It also woke me up. I suddenly couldn't get enough of books. I read Jonathan Kozol's Death at an Early Age, which got me interested in progressive education. I took correspondence courses, even one in the Greek classics." Assigned to the first in a series of ships, the newly literate teenager might as well have taken a trip through the looking glass. He was about to experience three years of Catch-22, with a little "I Love Lucy" thrown in for good measure. Wood's first tour of duty was aboard the USS Witek, a World War II-vintage vessel with a crew of about 300 and no real command. "The scene was more "McHale's Navy" than Apocalypse Now" Wood says, continuing the TV and movie analogies. "It was an experimental destroyer. The purpose was to serve Raytheon, Westinghouse and General Electric by testing weapons, their newest toys." The downside of that arrangement was "an alcoholic captain who occasionally wouldn't show up at all," according to Wood. "When the Red Sox won the pennant, he refused to do any testing until the World Series was over." His second posting was as the sailor in charge of communications — including running the movie projector — on a large, modern destroyer that "just plain didn't work," he says, adding that the big boat "went dead in the water" while navigating across the Equator. "We had explosions. Some people were
injured," remembers Wood, whose palms suffered rope burns when he tried to respond to an oil fire in the boiler room. "We limped into port in Brazil and spent a month fixing it." During that period, there were more disasters before the ship returned to the nearest port, in Florida. His final adventure was a patriotic "show the flag" tour aboard the USS Cecil, which "worked and went places," Wood notes. "I saw Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf."
T
he more worldly Wood somehow found a way to take a little time off from the Navy in 1968 and work, in his hometown, on Eugene McCarthys presidential bid. "I was 'clean for Gene,'" he says, mimicking the slogan of the Minnesota senator's well-groomed young campaign workers. "That was my first taste of electoral poli» tics. In 1969 Wood was discharged from the military a year early to resume his studies at Newton Junior College. By then, his brother Daniel was already living in Canada, where he'd gone to avoid the draft. School was a breeze for the newly motivated Wood, who soared to the top of his class. After graduation in 1970, he wanted to take a year off and travel. But when someone told him about Goddard College, founded on the principles of progressive education, Wood visited the Plainfield campus, applied and was accepted. He spent the summer at Daniel's communal house in Vancouver, then came to Vermont. "I haven't really left since," Wood notes. The Green Mountain State would prove to be an eye-opener for a guy "from the disconnected, detached suburban life," as Wood describes his upbringing. "Bread and Puppet Theater had just arrived," he remembers, referring to the New York City troupe's early 1970s residency at Goddard before relocating to Glover. "There were all these
strange people doing little puppet shows all over campus. I thought, 'Wow, this is really cool.'" The Navy vet immersed himself in the arts, particularly photography and theater. Wood finished the four-year college in half the time, having been granted credits for his previous studies and "life experience." Then, he ran away with The Two-Penny Circus — the title of a touring show conceived by fellow student Donny Osman, now a Vermont state legislator and director of the Governor's Institute on the Arts. "My alter ego was Mr. Clack, the master of ceremonies," Wood says of his debut as a professional actor. "It was physical comedy. For two years, we were the most popular company requested by Vermont schools." This schedule allowed him to spend summers with Bread and Puppet, which
Wood says, meaning that the operation was egalitarian rather than hierarchical. "Ginny was the chef. I cooked breakfast, did the grunt work, kept the books and also continued my anti-nuke efforts. Then came the arts again."
I
n typical Chris Wood fashion, his next venture was also all or nothing. While managing the Winooski Valley Food Coop in Plainfield, he and his colleagues turned the community center on the second floor into a cultural venue that hosted exhibits. His shipboard projectionist skills came back into the picture, as Wood began booking 16mm movies to show in the space. "We went from one night a week to two or three, and eventually expanded to other locations."
ly. "Electoral work is the most unappealing thing in this world of organizing," he surmises. "But I know it has to be done. That's why I've kept jumping back in." Jeffords was re-elected, but Wood got even busier. "What followed were multitudes of social justice causes," he says about his involvement in issues such as single-payer health care. With Pollina, he launched the family-farm advocacy group Rural Vermont. Another initiative at that time was the push to persuade Vermont officials to divest from apartheid-ridden South Africa. And when Jesse Jackson wanted to be president in 1984 and 1988, Wood tried to help. He went on to foster the left-liberal agenda of the Rainbow Coalition, which hired him as a coordinator in 1985. When the Savoy Theater recruited him for his projectionist skills during this period,
"I am a reformed workaholic. I think, in some perverse way, I used to feel like I needed to be involved in every good cause that came along/7 Wood decided to join on a full-time basis in 1976. He parted ways with the puppeteers two years later as the anti-nuclear movement beckoned and was arrested during a 1979 demonstration at the Vermont Yankee power plant in Vernon. His second true calling — activism — was born, and with it came a talent for organizing that helped shape the last quarter-century of central Vermont's political and cultural identity. To support this lifestyle, Wood needed a career that could offer him a paycheck. With Ginny Callan, his significant other at the time, he started the Horn of the Moon Cafe. The funky but wildly successful vegetarian eatery began on State Street and moved to Langdon two years later. "Talk about endless hours. We were so idealistic — everybody does everything,"
The project mushroomed. The Plainfield site became headquarters for the Center for the Arts and Public Issues, a nonprofit that sponsored films, readings, craft fairs and visual arts activities, as well as folk music concerts at Goddard s Haybarn Theater. In 1981, Wood's group merged with and took the name of the existing Onion River Arts Council — still Montpelier's largest performing arts presenter. As Onion River's first paid staff member, Wood ran the organization until 1984. "I was tired and burned out by then," he explains. But not so much that he could turn down a proposal from Anthony Pollina, who thought "we should run against this guy Jim Jeffords," the incumbent in a race for the U.S. House of Representatives. Wood became campaign manager, albeit reluctant-
CHRIS W O O D
Rick Winston discovered an added bonus: Wood's talent for remaining calm. "One of the best things about working with Chris is that he's hardly ever fazed by crisis," Winston says. "He keeps a cool head." Meanwhile, Wood sat on several boards: Montpelier's Wood Art Gallery, the Green Mountain Consortium for the Performing Arts, the Vermont Council on the Arts, the Vermont Community Loan Fund. Few of his community efforts have been lucrative, but Wood was sustained by what he calls "tithing" for almost six years in the 1980s. "I was often given money by individuals to do whatever I was doing, although I never made more than $7000 that way," he explains. "I didn't have health insurance

continued from page 21a until my late forties. More recently, I cobbled together many small jobs. The Land Trust pays me the first solid wages I've earned in years." When Pollina signed on as a staff member with newly minted Congressman Bernie Sanders, Wood took a co-director position at Rural Vermont for three years. That coincided with his gig helping design a national magazine, Organic Farmer. In the 1990s, he put his considerable energy into Vermont Consumers Campaign for Health, Vermont Jobs with Justice and the Vermont Community Reinvestment Association.

politics were so different; it had always overwhelmed the relationship," Wood says. "He was a nutty conservative, an IBM executive, but his illness brought us closer. It taught me an important lesson: not to judge others before really knowing them." In a sense, the siblings became one. "I agreed to be a donor because my bone marrow was an extraordinary match with his. My marrow took over and his blood type changed. When he died four years ago, a part of me died with him, quite literally," Wood says, adding that the 58-year-old David had been cured of leukemia but his weakened immune system could not fight off an ordinary virus. At the same time, Wood's brief marriage to Mary Deaett — an administrator in state government — was unraveling. On top of David's death, the divorce made

With workspaces, classrooms, a gallery and a cafe, it has been housed in the oldest building in downtown Barre since late last year. The structure was saved fromdemolition by investors who forked over the $29,000 purchase price and donated the place for nonprofit use. Wood is part of the six-person committee that developed the space, extensively renovated thanks to $800,000 from the Central Vermont Community Land Trust, a $250,000 CDBG block grant and $125,000 in historic preservation tax credits.

This achievement, along with Wood's other aesthetic pursuits, seems to represent "the old puppeteer in Chris," Winston theorizes. "Art feeds people. Art, especially if it makes a political statement, is nourishment." Wood himself looks like he rarely eats. He's a mover and shaker who lives like a modern-day ascetic. Ellen David Friedman suspects that he has been able to give so much of himself because there are few distractions in his life. "Chris never worried about making money, he's not concerned with material things, he doesn't have a family to support and he's austere in his personal tastes. He doesn't believe himself to be a martyr, though. Everything is done out of love and high principles." But maybe the times are achangin'. "On one hand, I could not imagine being anything but addicted to the community life I lead," Wood says wistfully. "On the other hand, the more I view that window into my soul, I see transformative steps to an exciting, irresistible place that I do not know yet. It seems to involve artcreation and very distant lands. Two roads..."

for a painful one-two punch. But Wood relished the last chance to become reacquainted with his brother. He also "gained a family" — David's wife and three grown children, scattered in other states, had never really been part of his life before. "It reminded me of how very alone I am in this world," he muses. "Whether married or single, we're so separate from each other." Despite his can-do public image, Wood's private outlook is somewhat melancholy. The political being seeks spiritual fulfillment. "I see myself as a more balanced person now. I am a reformed workaholic. I think, in some perverse way, I used to feel like I needed to be involved in every good cause that came along." Instead, Wood has rediscovered more "personal passions" like hiking, bike-riding, exploring natural wonders and writing introspective entries in a journal, as well as learning to shoot candid and posed portraits. He's even planning to collaborate, "h la James Agee and Walker Evans," on a photo documentary about low-income tenants served by the Land Trust that would fuse art and social conscience. In the attic apartment he shares in a Victorian house near downtown Montpelier, Wood keeps rocks, seashells and leaves on his desk, along with handwritten sayings that move him. One such inspirational quotation — in which he sees "a bittersweetness that I feel reflects my own life" — is the caption on a picture of Charlie Chaplin in his signature role as the Little Tramp: "A gentleman, a dreamer, always hopeful of romance." Wood's own inner clown was rejuvenated a few years ago, when the Progressive Coalition honored his work in the social-justice arena. "In front of hundreds of people, Chris came up to accept the award and began juggling little colored balls," says Friedman, laughing at the recollection. "It seemed to symbolize his ability to manage so many things at one time." ®

DeanWatch 2004 — One of the world s finest political columnists passed away last week. In Canada, Dalton Camp is a household word. Here, he's Dalton Who? He was 81. Yours truly only discovered Camp a couple years ago. After all, culturally, the Canadian border might as well be the Great Wall of China. Dalton's latest Toronto Star columns focusing on how the United States handled the post 9/11 era were positively brilliant. Punch his name into your search engine and we guarantee an enlightening journey. In a recent CBC interview, Dalton was asked what voters want more than anything right now. "Newness," he replied. The "big push," said Camp, is "for God's sakes, give us a fresh face." We'd submit the Canadian sage's advice applies south of the border as well. That "newness" and a "fresh face," are key ingredients presidential hopeful Howard Dean brings to the Democratic Party's primary table. So far, it appears to be working. This is from a recent CBS White House roundup: "Then there's Gov. Howard Dean, D-Vermont, a guy that no one knows much about or hears much about. But given his recent travel schedule and his upcoming heavy agenda, it seems he's really trying to get people to take note. Over the next six weeks, Dean has scheduled 10 events outside of Vermont — which he's still running, by the way." And Monday, Hotline, the Web site that tracks all things political, called Vermont's governor the "least shy about what he's up to." No, he's certainly not shy. Take Ho-Ho's brazen charge in Schenectady the other day that President George W. Bush is practicing "voodoo economics." Cool. Sayonara Time — O n a sad and personal note, time has come for yours truly to say good-bye to the statewide audience of "Vermont This Week" on Vermont Public Television (VPT). In every corner of the state that we've visited over the years, regular viewers of the weekly reporter's roundtable step forward to say hello. It's always a warm feeling, like meeting family members.
But times change. Last Wednesday host Chris Graff called to book us for this coming Friday's program. The following day, VPT's executive producer, Joe Merone, called to, as he put it, "uninvite" us. We quickly learned it wasn't just for this Friday, but for all future Fridays. The decision, said Joe, came from the top: VPT President and CEO John King and Station Manager Dan Harvey. Every political columnist worth his salt has enemies. It's the nature of the job. But since Walter Freed, our favorite Dorset millionaire, became Speaker of the House, we've had an enemy in a new perch. For some time we've been aware of the Speaker's hostility. He refuses to take our questions or even make eye contact. A few weeks back, we were tipped off to a new play in Wally's playbook, one taken from that of his political role model — former President Richard Nixon. It's filed under blackmail and press censorship. You see, in addition to seeking an appropriation in the budget bill, VPT is also begging for funding in the capital bill. They had been penciled in at $300,000 before the Town Meeting Day. break. That Friday marked our last appearance on the program. The following week, the $300,000 earmarked for public television suddenly shrank to $100,000. A Statehouse source alerted us at the time that Mr. Freed was "out to get" us. According to the source, House Institutions Committee Chairman Bob Wood (R-Brandon), a Freed appointee, had told him the $200,000 cut was intended to be "a shot across the bow" of VPT. The message being sent, Wood told him, was "get rid of Freyne" as a "Vermont This Week" panelist. Inquiring as to who was behind it, our source reported he was told point-blank by the committee chairman, "the House leadership." Apparently, three weeks later, the message has been received loud and clear at VPT headquarters and acted upon. C'est la vie! Yours truly first worked at VPT as a janitor during the 1980 Vermont ETV auction. In 1983, way before our first white hair arrived, the late, great Jack Barry broke us in as a regular panelist on the program he started — "Vermont This Week." Back then, this column was carried in the now-defunct Vanguard Press, and a mayor by the name of Bernie Sanders was our favorite target. Following Jack's passing, Chris Graff became the host and producer. Christopher has always been a perfect gentleman and a class act. But all good things come to an end. It's been a great run. Enjoyed every minute. Very nice people to work with at VPT. We've always tried to tell it like it is, regardless of whose toes were getting stepped on: Democrat, Republican, Progressive or Independent. We consider it a duty. ®

MC FATTIE B. & DJ HEDFONZ, STYLES UPON STYLES (selfreleased, CD) — Boasting on its cover art that it's "causing a buzz among listeners of funk, house, hip-hop and trance," Styles Upon Styles features Burlington M C Fattie B. and local beat-maker DJ Hedfonz. The two join forces in an album that blurs sonic barriers by combining hip-hop rhymes with dance-floor-friendly beats. Unlike the classic hip-hop being perfected by Fattie B. s stage band, Eye Oh You, Styles Upon Styles presents a more futuristic hip-hop based on layered instrumentals and trance grooves. While an inventive concept, the project succeeds more as a showcase of each individual's talents than it does as a true collaboration. O n the 21 tracks included here, a fair balance is struck between sampledelic cut-andpaste instrumentals, fully blown rap sagas and the more traditional club tracks of DJ Hedfonz. "Willie Wilson" builds around an addictively catchy vocal by former Belizbeha chanteuse Shauna Antoniuc and a sparse, funk-bass loop. Fattie B. s lackadaisical, cotton-mouthed delivery curls and bounces around the circular bass, and Eye Oh You's Konflik, who appears on six tracks, drops a smooth verse of slippery poetics. "Nex Attack 94" is a solid, bass-heavy hip-hop cut with

Fattie B. rhyming solo over a bed of old-school samples. "Chant a Little Riddle" finds Hedfonz turning a shuffling rhythm into a club-ready dance anthem. "A New Generation of Sound," with its David Byrne sample and undercurrent of digital pulses, is subtle and enveloping trance. Styles Upon Styles works best on the tracks in which the artists go their own ways. The greatest hip-hop on the album, such as the surreal, chill-out "Hypnotism," most closely approximates the trippy lounge-rap of Eye Oh You. Likewise, Hedfonz is best when concentrating on trance and house epics, such as the pulsating "How Do You Define Real?" Styles Upon Styles is an uneven ride, but it showcases the workings of some talented members of Burlington's hip-hop and dance-music scene. — Ethan Covey
Yorkers have won a devoted following on the jam-band circuit — you can hear similarities to The Allman Brothers Band and Strangefolk. SCSJB have nurtured their niche in the genre by constantly tpuring the East Coast, and by hiring Ted Marotta of Ominous Seapods to produce Road Less Traveled. Many of the songs have a loose feel suited for extended jams, such as the rollicking, country-tinged "Jodie Lynn," and the more intense "I Can't Shake These Blues." Acoustic guitarist Michael Bond penned all but two of the tunes, here. The popular themes of bucolic life are all represented: problems with the old lady, avoiding the long arm of the law, nostalgia for the past. Western themes can become dangerously repetitive, but for the most part Bond doesn't let his tales become a cliche. He puts a contemporary spin on "Back O n Track," a song about a marijuana grower who is worried the helicopter cops will spot his field. Sometimes the vocals lack the heartache and earnestness implied by the songs' subjects, which detracts from the generally fine lyrics. This is particularly true on "Outlaw," a song about a man leaving his family after a shoot-out — there is no melancholy in Bond's voice. He sounds
more like he's going on a springbreak trip with his drinking buddies. It's refreshing, though, when Bond shows a sense of humor on "She Wants It All," a song about a man's unwillingness to commit to his girlfriend. The chorus ends with "I want the sunshine, she wants the sun/She wants a love child, I've got a gun/She wants a diamond, I want to run." Drummer Mike Waitekus anchors the band with a chugging country feel, while Jason Fuller adds the down-home sound on percussion and washboard. The saxophone, played by Russell Wilson, is a curious presence, never really standing out or adding much texture to the music. The guitar work on Road Less Traveled must be what's earned the band a reputation for electrifying live shows. Bon# plays a fine acoustic guitar on several intros, but when the songs begin to pick up momentum, Drew Sprague's Southern rock-inspired electric guitar carries the load. Check it out this Thursday, April 4, at Higher Ground, when South Catherine Street Jug Band play with fellow faves Entrain. —Jason King
SOUTH CATHERINE STREET JUG BAND, ROAD LESS TRAVELED (self-released, CD) — The South Catherine Street Jug Band are not your typical "jug band." For starters, the six-man group features a saxophone instead of a jug, uses electric instruments, and doesn't play traditional, oldtime music. Their latest release, Road Less Traveled, celebrates these anomalies with 12 songs that delve into roots-rock, blues and bluegrass. The upstate New

BACK ON THE OLD BLOCK
Though he now resides in
New Orleans, Chip Wilson spent 20 years developing his style — and making and repairing guitars — in Burlington. A master of his instrument, Wilson evokes the sound of jazz and blues greats with the pluck of a string. His CD, A Jumpin' Somethin', was heralded as "Best Traditional Jazz Album" by the Big Easy's Offbeat magazine. Wilson pays a mud-season visit to his old stomping grounds, this Friday at Vermont Pub & Brewery.

Vermont's laid-back Olympians go with the snow B Y ROBERT ISENBERG
T
he scene was just like I'd pictured it — two snowboarders, a guy and a girl, casually dressed and posed under a large Burton banner. Hordes of media and fans waiting for interviews and autographs. But Vermonters Kelly Clark and Ross Powers appear unexpectedly mortal and nonchalant for a couple of gold-medal winners. Clark, a mere 18, has the visage of earnest youth; Powers, 23, wears a frat-boy demeanor, slouching slightly in his chair. They utter a quick "Hi" as I walk in, but remain seated. Powers offers a handshake. The two are autographing photos of themselves, scrawling in
welcomed by an Olympian homecoming celebration, hosted and sponsored by Burton Snowboards. The Burlington factory outlet has offered its premises to the public for such activities as screenings of relevant Winter Games footage and beginning snowboard lessons. Even as we talk in the factory's secluded "Soft Goods" conference room, tents are being set up outside, along with big-screen TVs and practice ramps made of plywood and packed snow. But Clark and Powers are calm and collected, as if the party were for someone else. In spite of their long post-victory media tour, they're still free of the practiced, wide-eyed excitement that has animated the likes of Michelle Kwan
"I was going to go to Sweden on Monday," notes Clark, "but I had to coordinate so we could come here." She recounts a recent trip to Japan, where she was inundated by snowboard enthusiasts; the sport is universally adored there, she says. Suddenly I am reminded of Ryuji Nagai, a Japanese reporter I met last week. He was visiting Vermont to cover snowboarding for the Tokyo-based snowstyle magazine. Sweden shares the same enthusiasm, as Clark will probably discover when she finally heads east. Now that they're home, and exhausted by the maelstrom of publicity, Powers finds the telephone constantly ringing in his mothers house. "Kids you haven't seen since grade school, family you never knew you had, call you up," he describes. Powers' mother came out to Utah to see his winning ride down the Olympic halfpipe, and she's delighted, he says, to take messages for her gallivanting son. "I'm just looking forward to getting on the snowboard," Powers adds. This yearning is echoed by Clark, and it's this dedication that verifies the legitimacy of their sport. What's important is strapping onto the board; the rest is just a bundle of "cool, definitely weird" perks. Their only goals relate to snowboarding — Clark is already planning for the 2006 Winter Games, Ross is enthused about the U.S. open. If future snowboard champions follow in their footsteps, the sport may bring a muchneeded understatement to the Olympics' traditional hype and egomania.
k'One thing that's changed is, we barely get to snowboard anymore." ympic snowboarder Kelly Clark black marker on the glossy images and flipping them into the "done" pile. This is the only clue that their names are now in the headlines. They are world-champion snowboarders, but they could also take prizes as America's humblest. And how was that whole Olympics deal? "It was just such a powerful few days," Powers says. He is cordial, granting me full attention with his dark, calm eyes. "It was really great for snowboarding. The weather was good, lots of people were there...being on U.S. soil — t h e CQmbination d i d a lot for us. It
helped people who wouldn't usually watch it, watch it." " Thanks, Ross," says Clark in a mock-anchorwoman voice. Powers smirks and she chuckles. "As far as inside the industry," he continues, "I think snowboarding is not going to lose its individuality." This was the principal dispute of the Winter Olympics: Is snowboarding a legitimate sport? Does it merit the same honor that skiing and figure skating have demanded for so many decades? After all, aren't snowboarders just surfer dudes at a higher altitude? Now that the hoopla has died down, and Powers and Clark have returned to Vermont, they're being
and Nancy Kerrigan in the presence of TV microphones. Autographs aside, Clark and Powers seem like average American teens. Their PR woman, the ever-beaming Leigh Ault, is down to earth, and dares to leave the room from time to time, leaving her young proteges unattended. Even the boarders' pastimes are mundane: "hanging out" is their favorite, along with outdoorsy sports like mountain biking and skateboarding. But what with all the jetting cross-country and meeting celebrities like Britney Spears, just hanging out is a rare luxury these days. Clark says she misses her mother. When I ask them to describe their sudden fame, they exchange glances, drawn out of their Zen placidity. "Weird," Clark asserts. "Definitely weird. One thing that's changed is, we barely get to snowboard anymore." Powers nods in agreement. "But we do get to do lots of other cool stuff." "Like come here, right?" says Leigh, who has just entered and plops down on the couch. Powers smirks again — he's good at that — and adds, "Every day is different. We never know what's next. I wish I didn't need to sleep."
My time with the Vermont champs is nearly up. A team from ESPN is noisily assembling their equipment outside the glass door. I ask Clark and Powers what they've done with their medals. "Did you bring them here?" Leigh prompts. "I got mine in the car," Clark says indifferently. "I think mine is at home," Powers says, and laughs suddenly. "Its getting scratches all over it. I think the ribbon is gonna fall right off." ®

"Hilltop Composition," by Sandra Hack BY MARC AWODEY
I
t's a full house this month at the Chaffee Center for the Visual Arts in Rutland. Literally. The gallery has devoted ample wall space to a large group exhibition bearing that title. It isn't a theme show or the typical sampling of two or three pieces by 20 or 30 people, however. Each of the nine "Full House" artists has been given a distinct portion of the art center and enough room to present a coherent body of work. This is really nine separate shows under one roof featuring a printmaker, two sculptors, two photographers and four painters. Each has at least one very strong piece in his or her show, and most of the artists have several. Printmaker David Shapiro is one of the latter. His style reflects the German Expressionist roots of modern wood-block printing and, like those earlier artists, his works frequently include social commentary. They are also formally engaging. "We Bear Witness" portrays a group of five nude men, rendered in broad bands of black on white, with concentration-camp identification numbers on their arms. The figures are not emaciated, but they are survivors who nevertheless seem to have kept the pallor of death — skeletal hands and the exposed teeth of skulls, as if carrying the memory of the camps in their bodies. Shapiro's "Flower Children" speaks of beauty and unity rather than cruelty. The artist demonstrates the power of line with a composition created from negative space. Seven childlike nudes with flowing hair lay together in a radiating flower pattern amidst long dandelions. The field is absolutely black, but the rhythms of the negative spaces create an image as joyful as "We Bear Witness" is mournful. Both featured photographers work with vibrant color and are inspired by nature. Many of Paul Jerard's pieces are Ecuadorian landscapes, but one with a human dimension is perhaps the most memorable. "Ecuador Flower" is a garden scene with a tightly focused red flower in the foreground. A blurred mother and child watering the garden in the background seem oblivious to being photographed. They are surrounded by the lush greens of the garden in a simple but effective use of color. Mark Council is the technically superior photographer here; his C-prints range from the mono-
chromatic sapphire blues of "Window Frost Study #2" to a Bruegelesque use of red-and-white patterning in "Woodland Floor Study," in which crimson autumn maple leaves lay upon fallen birch bark. Among sculptor Kathryn Lipke s pieces is the wall-mounted construction, "Occurrences V." It includes a bird's nest and eggs, thin branches and a plumb bob painted red. The items are arranged in a vertical box with a background of abstracted feathery imagery screen-printed in sepia tones. The branches stand vertically, the nest is in the branches, and the plumb bob hangs nearby. Mottled eggs have been placed on a small shelf in the right side of the construction. All of Lipke's four constructions are technically well executed but are made from objects that have become pretty standard art fare. So many sculptors seem to be using bird's nests these days that our feathered friends might soon suffer a housing crunch. The two most accomplished painters in the show are Kathy Stark and Sandra Hack. The formers meticulous fields of obsessive, inch-long vertical brushstrokes create the effect of a woven surface in her nonobjective oil paintings. She works like a pointillist but pulls the paint point by point. Her images are bands of color; even the series of white-onwhite paintings — entitled "Where Does the White Go When the Snow Melts?" — seem to shimmer with minor modulations of hue. Hack's pieces were inspired by the architecture of Italian villages and are like paintings de Chirico might have made had he been interested in daylight. "Hilltop Composition" is a townscape of archways and stucco, with a red Fiat at lower left. Hack uses the pastel ocherous yellows, pinks and pale blues of the early Renaissance in her architecture. "Montefalco Triptych" is a single horizontal canvas loosely divided into a composition of three sections. In each, the same shadowy passageway is seen from a different distance and leads onto a terrace overlooking a verdant hillside. "Full House" fills the Chaffee with a spectrum of styles, media and individual ways of thinking about art. And while the results are not always breathtaking, each body of work is given room to breathe. ®

YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN If you're the homesick alien in a Spielberg favorite, anyway E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, 20th Anniversary Edition *** A m I the only one who's always thought Steven Spielberg's waddling, wide-eyed alien looks like what you might wind u p with if you snuck into M a d a m e Tussaud's m u s e u m and set fire to the wax likeness of Ernest Borgnine? I mean, really, is there a character in the history of family cinema as beloved but so obviously molded out of plastic and manipulated off-screen by cable wranglers? Rubbery Martians in low-budget '60s sci-fi pictures look more lifelike than this Latex troll. Maybe this is one reason the director welcomed an excuse to smooth out some of the film's rough edges, now that suitable computer technology is commonplace. N o t that there doesn't seem to be something a bit dubious about this trend of releasing cleaned-up, slightly tweaked new versions of classic films. George Lucas is worth more than $5 billion. Spielberg's not signing up for food stamps anytime soon. I can't get too warm and fuzzy over the idea of them squeezing bonus millions out of movies they made decades ago. And "slightly tweaked" is about the size of it in the case of the anniversary B. T. CGIs have been used to add more realistic texture and expressiveness to the space creature's face in a handful of spots. Two previously deleted scenes have been restored. Neither adds anything to the story and one, in fact, inserts information that's inconsistent with what happens in the scene following it. O t h e r than that, the changes are decidedly minor and unlikely to be detected by viewers w h o don't k n o w what to look for. T h e story itself holds u p fairly well, though 20 years later it does seem a little thinner than I recalled. I noticed loose ends I had missed before, too, such as, w h y do E.T.'s buddies wait to be asked before coming back for him? W h a t brings h i m back to life at the end â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fact that they're finally returning for h i m and he can sense their approach, or is it H e n r y Thomas' declaration of love? There are irresistible m o m e n t s early o n when the boy tries to hide his new friend from his mother. As a 6-year-old, D r e w Barrymore's comic timing is impeccable. T h e final scene still tugs at the heart. Children are sure to be touched and entertained. Still, those of us w h o sat through the film two decades ago will probably check our watches far more often than we did the first time. Digital imaging isn't the only thing Spielberg s fantasy predates. It also belongs to the old school of children's films that, in contrast to today's breed, really was calibrated almost exclusively to younger sensibilities. Anyone over 21 expecting the multi-generational appeal of Toy Story, Monsters, Inc. or Shrek is likely to be disappointed. Maybe Spielberg will work some of that into the film when its 2 5 t h or 3 0 t h anniversary rolls around. ÂŽ

tOUgh peace: Many people believe that todays Islamic fundamentalists are on a par with 20th-century Nazis, and that liberating Kabul is akin to conquering Berlin. The battles of Operation Enduring Freedom, the thinking goes, carry much the same significance as D-Day or Iwo Jima. With the memory of 9/11 still palpable, terrorism seems as heinous as fascism. So, is it unpatriotic to dissent in a time of such American unity? That question has eluded an easy answer, both now and back in the 1940s. The issue is examined in The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It, a documentary about conscientious objectors that Vermont Public Television will air at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27 and again on March 31. The one-hour film by Rick Tejada-Flores and Judith Erlich — who earned their masters degrees at the University of Vermont — zeroes in on nine of World War l i s 42,000 draft resisters. Peace activist Dave Dellinger, who now lives in Montpelier, was one of them. "Most important social change begins when somebody says no," suggests Stephen Cary, a Quaker interviewed for the film about his experiences as a pacifist while 16 million other young men agreed to bear arms. The rebels drew on their ethical or religious beliefs, a "thou shalt not kill" approach to the military. In 1940, a year before Pearl Harbor, Dellinger was among 20 Union Theological Seminary students in New York refusing to even register, in protest of the first compulsory peacetime conscription in U.S. history. This was not a popular thing to do. A Boston Brahmin who dropped out of Yale during the Depression to follow a Francis of Assisi-like spiritual path, Dellinger recalls on camera that his father threatened suicide if he persisted in shaming the family. Angry crowds jeered as eight of the seminarians walked into a Manhattan court, which sentenced them to a year in prison. Later arrested again for the same "crime," Dellinger and others held hunger strikes in a federal penitentiary to demand an end to racial segregation of the inmates. Two of his comrades behind bars, Bill Sutherland and Carlos Cortez, had even spurned an opportunity to do civilian alternative service. About 12,000 of the country's COs accepted this option, which often meant detention in remote work camps. Another 23,000 chose to go overseas as noncombatant medics or ambulance drivers. Although a fascinating hidden legacy is revealed, The Good War feels rushed and incomplete. Cortez confesses that he'd be willing to shoot Hitler if given the chance, but not the Fuhrer s foot soldiers. It would have been interesting, in this age of Osama bin Laden, if the filmmakers had more thoroughly explored the conundrum: How do nonviolent people of conscience confront abject evil?

bard scrabble: The Stuff of Dreams, screening this Saturday at the Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier, is a quaint little time capsule of the late 1960s and early '70s. That's when an unknown number of flatlanders relocated to a mountainous rural state relatively unchanged since the beginning of the century. Expressive hippies were suddenly ensconced next door to phlegmatic dairy farmers. As Watergate unfolded, Brattleboro-area filmmakers Alan and Susan Dater and John Scagliotti decided to shoot a cinematic chronicle of this counterculture invasion in southern Vermont. The specific locale was Packer Corners, a decade-old Guilford commune with an annual summer tradition of presenting Shakespeare in outdoor settings. In the film, director John Carroll speaks in theatrical, pear-shaped tones and seemingly wills a no-budget daylight production of The Tempest into being. He also appears as Prospero, leading a cast of amateur actors, dancers, singers and musicians performing original tunes. . Among the thespians is Shoshana Rinh, the most intensely analytical communard. As Patricia Swinton in 1969, she was part of a loose-knit and lunatic New York City collective linked to anti-establishment bombings. She fled when the FBI closed in, living underground for a few years until the law caught up with her at the Guilford house. Rinh-Swinton was ultimately acquitted. Wearing more stagecraft than politics on its Elizabethan sleeve, the play is an ambitious group effort: Prospero's sorcery-induced, albeit symbolic, storm shipwrecks a graceful boat gliding down a real-life river. The stranded passengers find themselves caught up in revenge, redemption or romance on a mystical island, which the talented Tempest crew has constructed aboard a massive wooden raft.

Dear Cecil, Is it true, as a fun-fact list making the rounds via e-mail claims, that a pregnant fish is called a twit* — Bob Ebisch Denver, Colorado We debated this one in the office. Little Ed was of the opinion that a twit is somebody who believes what he reads on e-mail lists. But Jill insisted that, as skeptical scientists, we shouldn't reject claims on a priori grounds, antecedent to inquiry, because usually if you investigate them at length the column turns out to be a lot funnier. So we investigated, which consisted of Jill e-mailing a guy at the Goldfish Society of Great Britain. (There's a society for everything.) His reply: 1) Goldfish don't get pregnant — they're egg layers. Only taxonomically termed "beasts" can be pregnant. One says of egg-laden goldfish that they're ripe; 2) He had never heard of a pregnant, ripe or any other kind of goldfish being called a twit. However, he had heard that another name for a goldfish in the family way was a twat. "Excuse me, sir," Jill wrote back. "A what?"The goldfish guy explained, "There are vast differences between the colloquialisms and even grammar of the two diverging strains of the language," i.e., American English and English English. (Apparently vast differences in spelling, too. The goldfish guy originally wrote colloquilaisms and grammer.) " Twat is found in the Oxford English Dictionary and is still listed as a term for a female goldfish 'with egg development,' but as a term of archaic usage." We turned to the OED. The compilers of this noble work, determined to include every bona fide English word, had indeed listed twat. But instead of defining it themselves, they chastely noted, "See [quotation] 1727." We glanced down the impressive array of citations of twat usage over the centuries. Ah: "1727 Bailey vol. II, Twat, pudendum muliebre. Twat-scowerer, a Surgeon or Doctor." This was the familiar twat of our childhood, although the lads in the schoolyard hadn't used Latin. We noted that twat had been employed in the traditional sense by such masters of the language as e.e. cummings ("On Tuesday
an Uhlan/To her twat put his tool in"), Henry Miller and Germaine Greer ("No woman wants to find out that she has a twat like a horse-collar.") No mention of fish at any point. We also looked up twit, the entries for which filled more than a column of tiny type. No fish there, either. The goldfish guy was adamant. "Twits and twats do not appear in the shorter OED versions, just the large tomes." Our version of the OED weighs maybe a hundred pounds. Obviously the goldfish guy was on drugs. We abandoned the pursuit of twat as, you should pardon the expression, a blind alley. Back to the search engines. For a time all that was heard was the hum of the cooling towers for the Cray. Then this from Jill: "I just found this when I looked up 'etymology twit' — 'twirp: t.: a pregnant fish (Q871) 8.1.8."' Links were clicked. The following materialized on the screen from a site run by an online word sleuth: "Q871 Forty years ago, looking up dirty words in the dictionary at school, I believe I came across the definition of 'twirp: a pregnant fish.' I have never been able to find this since." "Now we know who the goldfish guy does drugs with," I said. "Keep reading," said Jill. "Now the Australian Going Places magazine claims rather that 'a pregnant goldfish is called a twit.' It has also been suggested
that this is a mistaken definition of twat. Confirmation of any of these, please." I rolled my eyes but dutifully looked up twirp (and twerp) in the OED. No mention of fish, gold or not. Pursuing the Australia angle, Jill e-mailed a fisheries expert down under, who replied, "I am perhaps not the best to ask about Australian slang (I'm a New Zealander, and for us twit and twerp are names for stupid people). However, I asked my colleagues and it seems that in Australia twit is indeed a name for a pregnant goldfish, as well as having the more normal mean•
n
ing. A solid lead or another dead end? Jill knew what to do. She posted a query on a message board run by Australian disciples of the Straight Dope. (They call themselves "the Teeming Handful" — check them out at http:// pub31 .ezboard.com/bgdope.) The response: a) "Its definitely an Aussie [urban legend] that twit stands for a pregnant goldfish. It was one of those 'facts' we all knew at school"; b) It's not in the Macquarie Book of Slang, the definitive work on Australian colloquial speech, or in any other available book of Australian slang; c) "I've asked my friends who are vets, and it's not a term used either by them or by fish breeders." So there you have it. You can bullshit the experts all you want. But the Teeming Millions know. — CECIL ADAMS

Renowned for fast and furious moves, she's running with a new piece, Points de Fuite, that explores the paradoxical dynamics between the individual and the collective.

The anti-war movement is due for a major resurrection. So instead of cracking open a few tired old eggs on Sunday morning, join the Expanding Secret Company for its "Easter Sunday Antiwar Show." Bread and Puppet progeny Tamar Schumann has put together a veritable buffet of political art, with "dishes" from Central Vermont activists David Budbill, Sam Kerson, Max Schumann, Jerome Lipani and Helen Rabin. The evening starts with a screening of the classic 1971 film Winter Soldier and winds up with a "Last Supper and Crucifixion" by the Bread and Puppet Theater — the perfect socially conscious remedy for latewinter nihilism.
Renaissance man Jerry Trudell can take aerial photos and humbly talk your ear off about politics. Now, all fired up about the Agency ofTransportation's proposal to discontinue bus service to Williston, he's organizing a tuneful protest. "I prefer to call it a songfest," says Trudell. "I want to keep it positive." An ardent supporter of public transit, he wants to see bus lines, not highways, expanded. It looks like social activists and musicians are moving in the same direction on this one. . . "Songfest." Monday, April 1. Cherry Street Bus Station, Burlington, 4 p.m. Free. Info, 651-7848.

• legals • adult • carpool Notice of Determination of Eligibility for Categorical Exclusion Town of Shelburne, Vermont Pump Station Upgrades and SCADA Systems Expansion In accordance with section VII of the Department's Environmental Review Procedures for Projects Funded Through the Vermont/ EPA Revolving Loan Program, the Town of Shelburne has requested that its proposed Pump Station Upgrades and SCADA Systems Expansion project be evaluated for eligibility for a Categorical Exclusion that would exempt the project from detailed environmental review procedures that are required for projects that have a significant environmental impact. The proposed project includes upgrade and capacity expansion of the existing Route 7, Falls Road/ Cemetery and Shoreline wastewater pump stations, plus extension of the Town's existing SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to include fourteen Town-owned wastewater pump stations within Shelburne. Consideration of Shelburne's request for Categorical Exclusion included a review of the following documents: Environmental Information Document (EID) entitled "Town of Shelburne; Route 7, Cemetery, and Shoreline Pump Stations and SCADA System Upgrade", dated February 2002, by DufresneHenry, Inc, of Williston, Vermont.
Upon completion of its independent evaluation, the Department has determined that the proposed project meets the criteria for issuance of a Categorical Exclusion. Specifically, the project will not increase the annual average flow (hydraulic) capacity of either of the Town's two existing wastewater treatment facilities by more than 20 percent, and it will not increase the organic (equivalent population) capacity of either treatment facility by more than 30 percent. The project will not add a new discharge of treated wastewater to surface waters or groundwater. Further, the project does not involve (create) serious local or environmental issues, or meet any of the criteria that would result in denial of an Exclusion.
No significant administrative action will be taken on this project during the first thirty (30) days following issuance of this Notice of Determination, in order to allow for public response. /s/ March 13, 2002 Larry R.

ology
March 27 - April 3 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Unless you buy my Sacred Atlantean No-Stick Talisman, you will suffer from arachibutyrophobia, a fear of peanut butter adhering to the roof of your mouth! If you refuse to order my Ancient Egyptian Hemp Dreamcatcher, you will contract myxophobia, a fear of slime! If you don't obtain my book, How To Attract Your Very Own Millionaire Spirit Guide., you will be tormented by anthonephophobia, a fear of flowers falling from clouds! APRIL FOOL! You are currently less susceptible to being manipulated by scare tactics than you have been in years. In fact, I predict you'll be shrewdly courageous in the coming days.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Traditional astrologers are right when they say Tauruses are conventional, of average intelligence and slow to change. Most Bulls are too addicted to the accumulation of status symbols to risk brave rebellions or to catalyze ingenious innovations. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said is a dirty lie, and I predict you'll soon prove it. To inspire your overthrow of Taurean stereotypes, I offer these geniuses, all born under the sign of the Bull, as role models: Salvador Dall, Martha Graham, Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Pynchon, Golda Meir, Charles Mingus, Mother Jones, Richard Feynman, Dante Alighieri, Malcolm X, David Byrne, Calamity Jane, Orson Welles, Eva Peron, Florence Nightingale, Sigmund Freud, Mary Wollstonecraft, Margot Fonteyn.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): It's high time for you to create your own exercise video or fragrance or line of handbags. I'll go so far as to advise you to nominate yourself for a MacArthur Foundation "genius" award, Nobel Prize or Purple Heart. It wouldn't be outlandish for you to charge people a hefty fee for coming to their parties and simply being your big, beautiful self. APRIL FOOL!
The preceding was a bit exaggerated — but not by much. It's my boisterous way of prodding you to unleash your self-promotional urges. Don't rely on others to toot your horn. Be your own agent.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): A cabal of android sportscasters, leftwing Amish bankers, supermodel scientists and sexy Islamic celebrities is conspiring to deprive you of your God-given right to treat yourself like crap. Behind the scenes, they are manipulating fate to prevent you from denying yourself pleasure or sabotaging your success. APRIL FOOL! There are indeed conspirators who are working to ensure that you treat yourself with more loving kindness, but they are not android sportscasters, leftwing Amish bankers, supermodel scientists or sexy Islamic celebrities. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Wear a Tshirt that says, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." Slap a bumper sticker on your car that reads, "Having abandoned my search for the truth, I am now looking for a good fantasy." If you're a woman, make frequent use of this declaration: "You say I'm a bitch like that's a bad thing." If you're a man: "I'm hung like Einstein and as smart as a horse." APRIL FOOL! While it is a favorable time to adopt a feisty, unpredictable, nothing-to-lose attitude, you'll get best results if you mix a bit of elegance in with the campy approach I suggested above. For instance, try these sly Oscar Wilde quotes: "I can resist everything except temptation." "Nothing succeeds like excess." "Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much." "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dave Barry writes a humor column for 600 publications, while my horoscopes appear in only 130. It's natural that he receives more acclaim than I. Still, I was jealous when I heard that the people of Grand Forks, North Dakota, named a human waste disposal facility after Barry. The only similar honor I've garnered came when a caft manager in Seattle started calling his cappuccino machine "Rob Brezsny." I want more! If you value the advice I offer, Virgo, I demand that you give my name to an object or pet that's important to you. APRIL FOOL! Whatever gifts you may glean from my words, you can be sure I provide them with no strings attached. By the way, that's precisely the policy you should follow right now: Give unconditionally or don't give at all.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I have embedded a coded message in this horoscope. It asks a very special Libra out there to become my new consort, hiking and Scrabble partner and muse for my next book. Could it be you to whom I have directed this hidden seduction? If so, you will intuitively know exactly how to decipher it and communicate that you're ready for me. APRIL FOOL! There are currently some Very Interesting Persons sending you "Let's merge!" signals, but none of them are me. I suggest you drop your projections and expectations about who would be a perfect collaborator and open your mind to what's right in front of you.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To collect the full share of good luck which is your birthright — but which to date has been withheld from you — you must cast aside your given name and adopt one of these
three new super-monikers: 1) Freejoycrispfecundleapingflashdazzler; 2) Surgingsoaringfoxygeniuswhirlingrisktaker; 3) Buoyantimprovisingfearlesswideawakeftxnwresder. APRIL FOOL! It's true that you have not yet cashed in on a sizable share of the miraculous fortune allotted to you at birth, but nothing so superficial as changing your name will give you the power to pull it off. O n the other hand, embodying the spirit of any of the three super-monikers above could do the trick.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): God passionately wants you to remain just the way you are for as long as possible. H e is deeply opposed to you shifting your opinions or revising your approach to life. Just look at how he has designed heaven: It's a perfectly tranquil place where nothing ever evolves. APRIL FOOL! In truth, God loves everything to change all the time — you included. And in the coming days, She will be especially delighted when you move and shake your world. In solidarity with the restlessness of the Creator, I suggest you become a proud fluxaholic.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): The moon is void of course on Mar. 27, from 5:31 p.m. till 10:04 p.m. PST, and then again from 11:12 p.m., Apr. 2, till 3:58 a.m., Apr. 3. Don't even think about doing anything important, interesting or innovative then. Likewise, you should hide in a closet while the moon squares Jupiter on the morning of Mar. 28, refrain from stepping on sidewalk cracks while the moon squares Neptune at 2:16 p.m., Mar. 30, and avoid dreaming of walking under ladders on the night of Apr. 5, when the moon squares Venus. APRIL FOOL'
e stars don't shape your future at specifically. Blind fate isn't endessly angling to ambush
Imminent events will prove these truths beyond a doubt.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Yell at your TV. Don't make your bed. Impersonate a wolf. Convert your landlord to paganism. Try to build a flying saucer. Apply to Harvard. Put chili sauce on your chocolate candy. Feel sorry for a devious lawyer. Carry a six-pack of Red Tail Ale home from the store on a skateboard. Do whatever your Rice Krispies tell you to do. Have great sex on a long train ride. Tune in to the hidden agendas of people with tattoos of Kirstie Alley. Steal the lint from the dryers in a laundromat and use it to make animal sculptures for someone you secredy admire. APRIL FOOL!

PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In 2001, a man named Adam Burtle put his soul up for auction on the eBay Web site. Before officials stepped in and forbade the sale, bidding had reached $400. As far as I know, no one has ever tried a similar fundraising stunt on any of the other popular auction site§. Given the current astrological omens, you Pisceans would be most likely to get away with it; I bet you'd also earn the highest bids and incur the smallest karmic penalty. Couldn't you use the extra bucks? Hey, it's all in fun. APRIL FOOL! I was just testing you, dear. In fact, you must raise your immunity to cute but evil propositions and fun but dumb invitations.

Lola
the love counselor
Dear Lcla, My husband has often locked to me for reassurance about the size oft his penis. In the past I have always tried to laugh off his concerns. Recently, though, I have begun to wonder it I am actually doing him a disservice by not telling him the truth (size dees matter). Is there anything to be gained by leveling with him? Room-to-spare in Rutland Dear Room, you mean, besides a few inches? It you want to stoke your hubby's insecurities, go ahead and tell him he's deficient, you'll send him right in the lap of the expanding-penis industry, where folks are more than glad to peddle pills, pumps, surgery and more to guys with bad body images. Sorting cut the upstanding doctors from the quacks in this field is a tall order. If you feel that it is vital that he either learn to live with his body or learn how to have a body he can live with, encourage him to consult his physician. Otherwise, I suggest ycu seek an attitude adjustment of your own, and keep your belittling thoughts to yourself. Lcve, Lcla
