FREYNE RUSHED TO JUDGE In Peter Freyne s rush to judgment against Trinity College, he failed to represent my position accurately [Inside Track, March 22], First of all, I think Gloria Steinem is a wonderful person who has done a lot for the cause of women in this country, even though I disagree with her unequivocal support of a woman's so-called right to have an abortion. Secondly, he took a facetious remark I made about President Clinton and turned it into the statement that Clinton would probably not be welcome at Trinity presumably because of his prochoice position. I did not say that. Freyne should try harder to listen to the people he interviews. I had the distinct sense that his story had already been written when our conversation began. — Dr. Laurie Gagne Trinity College Coordinator of the Peace and Justice Lecture Series Burlington

— David White Songwriter London, U.K.
THE "REAL" STORY? I was quite interested in Seven Days story by Helen Husher ("The Real Story," February 16) about the Ann Story saga and the replica cabin in Salisbury. As one who has long been familiar with both the history of pioneer Vermont's Green Mountain Boys and that of the native inhabitants of the Green Mountain region (counting myself as a number of the Wobanaki — "Abenaki" — Sokokiak Nation of Missisquoi), I was naturally interested in Husher's Story story. A remark in particular in Ms. Husher's account drew my atten-

tion. To wit: her claim that Abenaki warriors burned down the widow Story's first house. Does Ms. Husher have any evidence whatsoever that it was Abenakis who burned down the house? As a matter of fact, the great majority of the Wobanaki/Sokokiak Nation in Vermont at the time of the American Revolution supported the cause of American independence. Evidence of this was the existence of Capt. John Vincent's company of Abenaki Rangers in northern Vermont, which collaborated closely with the Vermont Militia (i.e., the Green Mountain Boys). Capt. Vincent himself had, before the organization of this company, been active "with Arnold on the lake," as early as 1776, helping to resist British Gov.-Gen. Carleton's attempted invasion of that year. In 1777 Capt. John Joseph, a Cosiak Abenaki, was active in resisting Gen. Burgoyne's invasion from Canada. After the BayleyHazen Military Road was built toward the Canadian border in 1779, British-Canadian raiders (both Native and white Loyalists) used the road to strike into northeast Vermont. It is a matter of record that when scouts brought word of the approach of said raiders, the local Wobanakiak people flocked to the forts and blockhouses of the militia for protection. Would the Abenakis be fleeing to Vermont strongholds if they were on the British side? I bring this up because it is precisely due to such inflated and largely false imagery of the "Abenakis" (Wobanakiak) as tomahawk-wielding hellions serving the British side, among other imperial-
ist arguments, that has been used against the Wobanakiak in Vermont to deny them recognition as a bona fide Native American nation. Therefore I would caution such (no doubt) well-intentioned writers as Ms. Husher to think twice before glibly assuming that, because the Wobanakiak were and remain Vermont's premier Native population, it was "the Abenaki" who burned down a cabin or committed this or that negative act. Given the fierce bigotry of Vermont's white population against the Abenakis, from Gov. Howard Dean on down, the Wobanakiak people of today don't need such negativity emanating from such a relatively liberal journal as Seven Days... It is worthy of note that while Seven Days et al. have been considerably exercised in pushing marriage and equal rights for gays, who are a largely white and quite prosperous group, there has been extremely little support from the "progressive" community for Vermont's poorest minority. The Vermont Supreme Courts ruling favoring gay marriage has been hailed, but the ruling by that same Supreme Court that condemned the Wobanakiak as having been exterminated "by the weight of history" has not been roundly denounced as a decision worthy of the courts of Nazi Germany by the progressive community. — George "Peskunck" Larrabee Woodbury DOPE NOT STRAIGHT Cecil Adams' column on acupuncture (The Straight Dope, March 22) was not the straight
dope. His column is poorly researched and insulting. There is not enough space in a letter to point out his faulty logic. Those who are curious should read the article on acupuncture that he rehashed at www.quackwatch.com, and follow the link to the NIH statement at the end to form their own opinions. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are not just a collection of folk practices. Research and practice for over 2500 years under the Imperial Emperors of China produced over 30,000 texts about their use. Since its terminology is pre-technological, it is often deemed "unscientific." Let us not confuse science with technology. It is the scientific method, a system of observation, testing and analysis that gave rise to technology, not the reverse. Clinical research on acupuncture has produced variable results, some of which are positive. Tylenol doesn't cure all pain, and Prozac doesn't cure all depression, but they are approved for its use because they work sometimes. Technological research on acupuncture has not yet produced a clear picture of how it works. Yet, the National Institutes of Health found sufficient evidence of its biological actions and clinical effectiveness to warrant recommending its clinical use and further research on its scientific mechanism. So the verdict is in, just not the one that Cecil Adams likes. — Stewart Cohen, Ph.D., L.Ac. Full Spectrum Health Care Burlington

Because in Massachusetts she could legally receive methadone, a drug that blunts the harmful effects of heroin withdrawal. For many heroin addicts, methadone is the only effective treatment. It's available in 42 states, but Vermont's not one of them. And Gov. Howard Dean M.D. is determined to keep it that way. Sen. Leddy believes Ho-Ho is wrong on this one. Dead wrong. In Leddy's experience as the longtime director of the Howard Center for Human Services, there are "few hells on Earth worse than heroin addiction." And heroin use in Vermont is on the rise. Last month, Leddy's bill, which allows heroin addicts in Vermont to receive treatment with methadone, sailed through the senate 26-4. It's currently before the House Health and Welfare Committee. Committee Chairman Paul Poirier of Barre told Seven Days two days of testimony are scheduled for next week. The bill, he promised, will be up for a vote on the House floor before adjournment. "It's alive," said Paul the Puck. If passed, it'll be on to the governor for his John Hancock. But it appears Howard Dean and the legislature are on a nasty collision course on this one. Ho-Ho has repeatedly promised a veto. Dr. Dean is "convinced a methadone center will only worsen the problem of heroin addiction in Vermont." It's simply not negotiable with our governor. But a few of Ho-Ho's good buddies are parting company with him on this one. Senate President Peter Shumlin calls the current Vermont policy "a policy of denial." And Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle noted that even national drug czar Gen. Barry McCaffery backs methadone treatment at the community level. "This should not be a political issue," said hizzoner. "It's a public health issue." Asked about the dire warnings from Dean, Clavelle pointed out he already doesn't "have to go far to find those who are abusing drugs." Methadone distribution, he said, would be physician-based rather than meted out from "storefront clinics." Most likely, he said, the methadone program would be "a continuation of existing treatment programs" at UVM. "We all know the use of heroin is a reality of life, not only in Burlington but in the backwoods of Vermont. We ought to give folks an alternative," said Mayor Moonie. "Certainly the science and the treatment professionals tell us methadone is a viable treatment alternative. I'd rather see a methadone clinic on the top of the hill than see heroin addicts in City Hall Park." y <m- * m

C'mon. Double dare ya! Deanwatch 2000 — On Sunday, the Congressional Quarterly weighed in on the "quadrennial parlor game" of predicting the vice-presidential candidates. And Vermont's governor, Howard Brush Dean III, remains on the short list as the fifth overall favorite. According to the Quarterly, Sen. Diane Feinstein of California and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana are the top picks at odds of 5-1. Next up is Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut at 9-1, followed by Energy Secretary Bill Richardson of New Mexico at 11-1. And in fifth place, stalking the leaders, is our beloved doctor-governor himself. Dean is listed on the form as a 12-1 shot. "A physician, Dean is a capable national spokesman for state governments in complex policy matters," writes the Quarterly, "and he'd be an appealing face. But being from a small, Democratic-leaning Vermont would raise questions about how much help he'd be." Asked about his vice-presidential prospects recently, Mr. "Appealing Face" dissed the notion, pointing out New England will likely be a lock for Al Gore in November, anyway. What Gore should be looking for, said "Mr. Capable National Spokesman," is someone from the Midwest. Sunday, Dean appeared on "The Editors" on PBS, where he named his choice for "Best President of All Time" — George Washington. Ho-Ho also suggested Mikhail Gorbachev deserves more credit than Ronald Reagan for ending the Cold War, and declared the Gipper couldn't have cut it as prime minister of Canada because Reagan "wouldn't have been able to hold up" during "Question Time" when the parliamentary opposition pointedly grills the prime minister on this, that and everything. Oh, Canada. He has a point there. Correction — Last week's TV ratings numbers for WVNY's 6 p.m. news were actually for their 11 p.m. news. Sorry. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and WVNY actually took a significant step forward with its improved audience rating at 6 p.m. Ch. 22 got a 5 share in the metro and a 3 share in the larger DMA — the best marks the station's received in memory. Congratulations. (A "share" rating reflects the percentage of TV sets in use that are tuning in.) Ch. 22's numbers may not seem like much compared to Ch. 5 (40/metro, 23/DMA) and Ch.3 (34/metro, 32/DMA), but they represent improvement for the

Slightest Provocations Philadelphia police charged Kenneth Robert Vennera, 32, an unemployed attorney, with attacking his aunt, a 62-year-old nun, because he thought she was using a dirty mop. The Philadelphia Daily News reported that Sister Marie Troilo was cleaning the family's house when Vennera complained that the mop had too much dog hair on it and began cursing at her, then knocked her head against a wall and dragged her back into the house when she tried to run away. • Joe Blume, 43, was arrested after he walked into the Carmel, Indiana, office of Matchmaker International, pulled a .357-caliber Magnum and demanded a $1200 refund because the only woman the service had referred to him for a date was 47 years old. Blume said he wanted a woman of child-bearing age. Explaining the firm could issue only a check, the manager left the room. "He thought she was going to get a check," Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard told the Indianapolis Star. "She left the building and notified the police." Adding Insult to Injury Norman Green, 51, suffered four broken ribs after a bus ran him over in Leicester, England, so he wrote to the bus company seeking damages. Instead, the
company sent him a bill for $845 to repair the bus, which had a broken light and windshield. "The accident happened," company insurance manager Tony Lambell said, "because Mr. Green was not looking where he was going." Online Follies Leading ultra-Orthodox Jewish rabbis in Israel have banned their followers from using the Internet. They insist it "incites sin and abomination" and threatens the survival of the country. • At least 200,000 Internet users are addicted to porn sites, X-rated chat rooms or other sexual materials on-line, according to a study by researchers at Stanford and Duquesne universities. Reporting their findings in the journal Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity, the researchers classified users as "cybersex compulsives" if they spent more than 11 hours a week visiting sexually oriented areas and scored high on a 10-item questionnaire about relationships and attitudes toward sex. "This is a hidden public-health hazard exploding, in part, because very few are recognizing it as such or taking it seriously," the researchers said. Nice Work If You Can Get It Florida state Rep. George Albright introduced legislation
establishing a new Cabinet post: secretary of barbecue. Appointment by the governor to a oneyear term without pay would involve promoting the enjoyment of barbecue and barbecue culture. "I am very serious. Its a serious subject. Barbecue is big business in this state," said Albright, who is the co-owner of two barbecue restaurants. • Sheriffs deputies in Columbia County, Florida, were assigned to watch more than 1300 pornographic videos confiscated from a video store to determine if they violate obscenity laws.

HI J1 an, how in the hell can you do this? Driving rich, spoiled students and drunks around all night. 1 mean, your life must suck. Am I right or am I right?" These were the first words out of the mans mouth after plopping in the front seat next to me. He looked maybe 30, with an ultra-styled goatee, wearing a leather sport jacket and Texas-looking cowboy boots. The question he posed was not intended rhetorically: He was turned towards me, his gaze leveled. His eyes shone cold and distant. At this stage of the game — 20-plus years pushing the hack — diffusing the energy of those relatively rare (thank God) obnoxious customers comes second nature. Don't get me wrong: I am not particularly insightful nor adept in my abilities with people. M y sharpened skills in contending with the temperamentally belligerent derive almost entirely from the School of Hard Knocks. We're talking about an alert lab rat's brand of smarts: You hit the wrong button and receive the electroshock. Even a moron ^ will eventually figure out the right button, if only by blind luck. And, as I've said, I've got 20 years under my belt. The key, I've found, is resisting the bait — not responding in kind. I give the guy the benefit of the doubt that he's just having a bad day. What seems to work is the aikido of light comedy. The correct application of some innocuous humor invariably has a disarming effect. I said, "How's about we table the discussion of my miserable life for the moment, and you tell me where we're going?" "Yeah, riiiight," he said, his voice so dripping, so overflowing with sarcasm that I had to stop myself from reaching for the glove compartment napkin supply lest the seats get soaked. He paused for a moment, stroking his beard. Then slowly, deliberately, he shook his head and frowned in a way that registered pathetic disgust. HSR _ f^fp. JHHi _ ^j^p . ipjp.
"That's right, Chief," he continued. "Your 'miserable life.' That's classic!" Again he paused, fingertips to goatee, letting his acrid words permeate the atmosphere like bitter smog. "So take me to South Meadow," he said. "Think you could manage that?" The sarcasm had blown past disdain on its way to pure contempt. So much for aikido. You know the old joke: Confronted by a mugger, a guy assumes a crouched, martial arts posture, and yells, "Karate!" The mugger goes, "Monkey wrench!" and clocks him. In scenarios like this I have in the past kicked people out of the cab: "I don't get paid enough for this kind of abuse — you're outta here!" This night, however, I let it go. South Meadow is a short hop, I thought, and I need the fare on
Meadow justice apartment, dropping three singles on his seat with a chortle. I felt like tackling him on the front lawn and pounding his skull. That thought persisted, however, only for about 20 seconds. I'm either a pacifist or a chicken, take your pick. For another thing, the guy had 15 years, three inches, and 30 pounds on me, so there was a certain impracticality to any vision of physical chastisement. I then thought of calling the police. The guy was brazen enough to walk calmly up the stairs into his apartment with me watching. The police, I'm pretty sure, would go to the door and force him to fork over the rest of the fare. But to waste an hour or so over two dollars? The guy's such a creep he deserves it. ^ Yadda yadda. The heated thoughts were l I l S * bouncing around my • pinball-machine mind — the buzzers buzzing, the clickers clicking, the lights flashing. 'You — cabbie!" I turned quickly to my left to see the guy standing at the bottom of the stairs to his condo. "I can't find my goddam keys. Did I leave them in your taxi?" I lowered my window, raised one index finger and said, "Lemme check for you." I switched on the dome and looked over where he had been sitting, then down at the floor mat. I checked carefully: Nothing. H m m m . I straightened up, looked back at the guy and said nicely, "Yeah, the keys are right here on your seat." He broke into a broad smile. It's such a relief to locate lost keys! I smiled back warmly, closed the window and put the car in drive. As I watched his smile drop to dumbstruck, I slowly drove away. ®

this slow night. I turned the radio up, and we rode in welcomed silence. A block from his condo, he spoke again. "What's this gonna be?" "Five bucks," I replied. "Five bucks!" he bellowed.

BY PAULA ROUTLY verybody knows the Vermont woods are full of writers. A rural refuge lends itself to acts of literature, as long as the overnight delivery trucks can get through the mud. But there comes a time when the isolated author wants to be found, maybe even launched on a backbreaking book tour across America. The United Parcel and Fed Ex guys in Tunbridge have been onto him for a year now. i Down the Strafford Road » from Vermont Film celebrity Fred Tuttle, with the national media hot on his trail, 42-yearold Jeffrey Lent is about to get flushed. In the Fall, Lent's First published novel, is a sprawling epic that tracks a Vermont family for three generations, in four distinct settings, from the Civil War to the Depression. Although it is full of history, including a swashbuckling description of Italian-Filled Barre, the story is really about racism. The Pelhams don't look like typical turn-ofthe-century Vermont hill farmers, even though they say "yuht" like the rest of their neighbors in Randolph. Along with a sabre wound from Pickett's Charge, Norman comes home from the war with a "Negro" wife — a runaway slave. The book reads like Cold Mountain meets Stranger in the Kingdom, with a touch of Roots. Spanning six decades, and 560 pages, In the Fall takes a fresh look at the wages of slavery. And like Cold Mountain, Charles Fraziers story of a Confederate deserter walking home from the war, it is chock-full of rich descriptions of geography, nature and physical farm labor. Storytelling aside, the similarities end there — for Lent, the Civil War is the launching point from which successive generations of Pelhams scatter in search of their own identities. Even when it heads south, his is

clearly a northern point of view. As it did with Cold Mountain in 1997, Atlantic Monthly Press bought in big. Elisabeth Schmitz, the editor who worked with Frazier, also lobbied for and edited Lent. "The book went out on a Thursday and on Monday, Atlantic bought it," Lent says of the "preemptive offer." In his wildest dreams, he says he was "hoping to maybe break six figures." He got a lot more than that. A few days later, Vintage bought the paperback rights. Eight foreign translation deals followed. The initial run of 50,000, which is considered huge for a First novel, arrived in New York last Tuesday. The next day Atlantic ordered 15,000 more. "Right now, the very worst-case scenario is that we will do very well," says Lent, paraphrasing his publisher. Before it hit the shelves, In the Fall was a Book of the Month selection, and had been singled out as a "Discovery" at Borders, Barnes & Noble and the New England Book Association. Incoming messages last week, during an interview at Lent's rural home, were all congratulatory. He intercepted the one from Atlantic offering two complimentary bottles of champagne, and proceeded to give the caller Firm instructions on where to buy the best. For a man who has been working day jobs for the last 15 years to support his writing habit, Lent looks remarkably natural in the glow of success. He emerges from the barn in jeans, a cotton shirt and low-slung Sorels and surveys the property: the neat white cape on one side of the road, the two mares on the other, nosing up to maples sporting old-fashioned sap buckets. His rustic but cozy study is back in the barn, with a gas-powered woodstove and bookshelves full of Faulkner, MacCarthy, Frost and Proulx. Mixed in with the literature are non-fiction works on horses, bird dogs and hunting — and four fresh, hard-backed copies of his own book, hot off the press. Lent lights up a Nat Sherman — a custom cigarette from a tobacconist in New York City — and offers the requisite but half-hearted "If you have a real prob-
lem with this..." too late for anyone to protest. Apparently the Newsweek reporter didn't. Nor did the photographer who traveled from New York to Tunbridge to snap his book-jacket photo. Folding his long limbs into a leather chair, Jeffrey Lent has arrived. And after four toll calls and a long wait at the New Hampshire Liquor Store, so does the bubbly.
ent has spent enough time on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line to imagine a story as vast, and culturally diverse, as the one told in In the Fall. Born and raised in Vermont, he grew up on a working farm in North Pomfret with parents who traded urban privilege for organic adventure before it was called "back-to-the-land." After college, Lent went south — and stayed for 20 years. He was living in North Carolina when he wrote In the Fall, which is set largely in New England. Lent calls it "fiction with a historic setting," as opposed to "historical fiction" — which suggests he took some creative liberties. "I'm sure that I will get some Civil War buffs who will come up to me and say, 'He couldn't possibly have been in such-and-such a place at such-and-such a time,' and that's just tough, ain't it?" he says, drawing out the last four words for dramatic effect. "I have a little disclaimer at the front of the book that says something like, All attempts have been made to adhere to historical record but events and geography have been altered to accommodate narrative flow.'" Not too many history buffs are going to contest his descriptions of "the hill farm above the Bethel road south of Randolph." Like Howard Frank Mosher, Lent paints a picture of bygone Vermont more vivid than you're likely to see on any movie screen. He lays out the land so well — the barns, sugarbush, orchard, sheep pastures, upper woodlot and family cemetery around a well-worn farmhouse — you feel you could slip on rubber books and take over the chores. With the same loving detail, Lent
L
spells out daily routines. Using long, sometimes antiquated-sounding sentences that tumble off the page with very little structure or punctuation, he conveys the poetry of the toil without romanticizing it. "By midmorning, he'd be done with what the barns demanded and then he'd file his saws and grind the double-bitted axe and using the heavy harness and brichens he'd hitch the team to the sledge, load in the skidding chains and whippletree and a pair of nosebags with rations of oats and head up to the woodlot." Into this rough-hewn Yankee landscape steps the central figure of the novel — the proud and beautiful Leah, on the arm of a Union soldier she nursed back to health in the woods of southern Virginia. After fighting for the abolition of slavery, Norman Pelham is not prepared for the prejudice he and his new wife encounter at home in Randolph — even his mother and sister move off the farm to avoid serving the "colored girl." On their long walk back to Vermont, Leah reveals the circumstances of her spontaneous departure: She fled her family home in North Carolina because she thought she killed a white man — the son of her master, who was also her half-brother — when he tried to rape her. Although nobody called it "racism" at the time, the omniscient narrator attributes these observations to Norman: "Bringing her home, what he had not foreseen was not so much the drift away of his own family but the estrangement, the voluntary withdrawal, the displacement he felt toward the neighbors and villagers themselves. Times he felt he had lost something and times he felt if he'd returned alone it would be the same: as if not the darkskinned woman but the war he found her in was where he'd lost any sense of common-hold with other men." The couple is plenty happy together, though, and after multiple miscarriages and a harrowing labor, they finally produce a child. Leah has-a total of three children — two girls and a boy — before she gets it into her head to go back to North Carolina. After a 25-year absence, she is concerned about her mother and a friend who risked his life to help her escape. She returns tragically transformed by the experience and goes to her grave without ever saying what transpired. It falls to her grandson, 30 years later, to unravel the mystery.
ent readily admits In the Fall is "big, wide and loose." Instead of editing as he went along, he made a deal with himself to trim later. "What I discovered was that things I would normally have cut out, I would write another page and realize, ooh, that actually fits now." He left a few scenes out of sequence, like "coming attractions," but there are other reasons to keep reading. "After the last 20 years of taut little postmodern deconstructionist MFA program semi-autobiographical novels," he says, "we are seeing a return to novels that are stories." Lent's characters rose to the occasion. "Every one...came up and felt like a real,

living, vivid human being," he says. "I had an idea of where I was going all along, but the tone of the story suggested aspects of personality for each character. They were directing their actions. My job was simply to follow them and render them truthfully." If anything, he might have reined them in a bit. There are times when In the Fall feels bloated, crowded with too many compelling characters thinking deep thoughts. The middle section — of three, which roughly correspond to the three generations of Pelham progeny — could stand on its own. But Jamie is the connecting link, even though he quits the farm, denies his ethnicity, abandons his relatives and leaves Vermont for New Hampshire. The son of Norman and Leah, he is also the father of Foster, who returns to Randolph, then to North Carolina, to complete the family circle. A self-made man who forsakes his roots for personal achievement, Jamie does most of the striving — and driving — in In the Fall. He heads first to Barre, where he gets his first taste of the bootleg business. In the gritty whirl of granite dust and tobacco smoke, he meets his match in a streetsmart orphan girl. The couple ends up in the resorts of the White Mountains, where Jamie and Joey develop their respective, but not exactly respectable, trades: She works as a singer, playing men along with her voice; he manages the hotel bar, running whiskey on the side. Jamie never tells her — or the children they have together — anything about his past. And when he exits unexpectedly after wife and daughter die of influenza, it leaves the teenage boy Foster alone with a case of whiskey, a pair of bird dogs and a modern motorcar to find his way in the world in the Roaring '20s. He gets a clue from a wad of postcards in his father's desk, and shows up in Randolph, as surprised to see his two mulatto spinster aunts as they are to lay eyes on him. The knowledge they feed him, between slabbed ham and vinegar pie, is both comforting and unsettling. Like almost everyone in the book, Foster wants to know more about his grandmother. So at 16, he steers his Chrysler south to find out what happened to her. It's the last of three consecutive coming-of-age stories, in which Foster encounters the extremes of humanity in a place that is totally unfamiliar to him — but not to Lent, who draws it with carseat-sticking accuracy. Foster tracks down Mebane — the half-brother Leah thought she killed — and the old man receives him with crotchety enthusiasm. He knows what the boy is after, but postpones his confession until the end of a marathon interview. Malevolent as he is, the old man turns out to be something of a philosopher. Speaking of slavery, he says: "What will be forgot is the small everyday things that made it real. Because each, man has to contribute some way to keep such a flimsy tent aloft. But once it is down we all can step away from it and say it was the other fellow — the other fellow that pitched it in the first place and the other fellow as well that helped hold it up. And so we walked away from it, the ruins of it. And it will never be made right. It will never be M JV

repaired...We could flourish, I guess. But it will not happen... Perhaps because it's easier to lie between the legs of that dark sister than to call her by name." Lent tells of an early reader who wrote him a letter, suggesting race and slavery in particular were subjects best handled by Southern writers. "Basically he was saying, 'Do you feel you have the right to write about this?'" Lent recalls. "I replied by saying pride of place is important for all of us,
kids I didn't like, kids who were bullies and kids who were friendly. Some of each of those groups were black and some of them were white." At least in part, that high school prepared him for a much longer stay in the South. Lent was a sophomore at Franconia College when it closed in 1978, then finished up his degree at SUNY Purchase. His parents got divorced when he was in college, and his mother moved to North
"RACISM IN AMERICA IS UNFINISHED BUSINESS, AND IF THERE IS AN AGENDA WITH THIS BOOK, IT'S JUST TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT/' — JEFFREY LENT but regionalism can become factionalism very easily, and that can be very unhealthy. Racism in America is unfinished business, and if there is an agenda with this book, it's just to make people think about that a little bit."
ent grew up on his own hilltop farm, but his parents made sure he saw the world beyond. "As a kid I was fascinated by history," he says, and growing up on horseback helped him picture it. His father, the son of a New York ad executive, was a livestock dealer who bred horses and draft mules when he was not haying, sugaring or logging. He cut 10 cords of wood a winter to feed an antiquated wood furnace. "A lot of the farm stuff was pretty easy," Lent says of the rendering of those daily details in his book. "But I had to research some things, like 19th-century sugaring techniques." Lent's mother came from a similar background, as he puts it, having "bailed out" to make a life for herself in Vermont. Although she worked on the farm, she also taught school, which brought in extra money for things like summer camp and vacations. "So we sort of had the weird agricultural life but also a more middleclass upbringing," Lent says. "I credit my mother for realizing we needed the exposure beyond." When he reached his teens, that exposure took an interracial form. His mother sent him to an alternative high school in New York State that Lent describes as "50 percent middle-class white kids with hair down to their ass and 50 percent inner-city black kids." After he got over the initial fear, he says, "What I learned from that experience was, there were kids I liked and

Carolina — close to a spot where her family spent summers when she was a child. Lent visited a few times and then reasoned, "I had read everything Faulkner had ever written and thought it would probably be a good idea to live in the South for a while." He bounced around, working and drifting. "I always considered myself a writer, but I wasn't writing much at the time." He worked in restaurants, and was shocked to be put in charge of black kitchen workers with much, more experience than he had. Another job found him playing foreman to a black farmhand errand boy with a violent streak and a drinking problem. "It was appalling to me, of course, at 19."

two days for misbehaving. "In so many words, he was saying, 'You don't understand black people. We understand black people,'" Lent says. The experience definitely helped him invent Mebane. Lent never meant to stay in North Carolina for 20 years. But he had a caretaking gig, followed by a newspaper wholesaler job that allowed him plenty of time to write. He came close on a couple of books, and snagged a wellrespected agent, but never scored with a book until this one, which took 18 months to write. "I had been trying to get back for years, and my wife loves Vermont," he says. His mother has relocated to Chelsea. He attributes his book's plentiful descriptions of the north country to "homesickness." When the Lents arrived last May, with a baby daughter, they hired an electrician to work on their house. Without knowing anything about Jeffrey, he launched into a relevant story about a black man working construction in the area. The electrician mentioned to the black man how "nice" it must be for him to be up here in Vermont, "where people are friendly and not prejudiced." The black man responded, "Man, you don't know what you're talking about. You don't know a thing about where you live." The electrician was shocked to hear the black man had suffered numerous indiginities as a result of his skin color, including being pelted by beer bottles from a passing pickup truck. Sympathetic as he was, for Lent it was a vindication. One hundred-thirtyfive years after the Civil War, racism is still not history in Vermont. "It was one of those cosmic gifts you get," Lent says of the exchange that confirmed the truth of his fiction. "Barely being back here and feeling like, yes naile< 1 som ere. ®

Last year, Americans spent more than $3 billion on this basic substance, and M S N B C reports the sales figures are expected to jump 10 percent this year. If so, it won't be the first time water has been linked to pure profits. It was big business back in the day when people clinked glasses on the wide porch of a now unused hotel in Clarendon Springs. The shapely, brick Clarendon House is festooned with columns and balconies. In winter, the mineral spring on the sloping lawn gurgles and spits and builds up an impressive, impromptu sculpture of mineral ice. Bluish and slippery, this ice announces that there is water here, water leaping from its source, important water, water worth paying attention to. It flickers under the cold crystal and catches the light; it escapes in a hissing, feathered spray near the summit. You can't drink the water when it is encased like this, unless you have crampons and a rope at the ready. But in summer you can scoop it up easily and drink for free. I'm told it tastes neutral and perhaps slightly sweet, "both calciferous and alkaline," according to a 19th-century marketing piece about the place found at the Vermont Historical Society in Montpelier.
Clarendon House was built in 1834, and is the largest and most persistent structure built here to serve visitors to the mineral springs. It was preceded by a guest house built in 1788, the American House in about 1800 and the Green Mountain House in about 1825. People came to Clarendon Springs to rest, imbibe, stroll, breathe mountain air and play croquet. Before the Civil War, Clarendon House was a popular destination for the wealthy and fashionable, particularly those from south of the Mason-Dixon line. These creatures of leisure must have looked like oddities to local farmers, dressed as they were in strange clothing and accompanied by slaves. For the most part, they were not ill; one source describes them as "charming, affected young women with...beautiful clothes and, as far as the natives could see, [their heads] full of butterflies, giggles, incomprehensible chatter and nonsense." This stereotype of Southern womanhood is quite stunning in its dismissive simplicity, but the leisured-class air of these visitors was real enough. And a little problematic, since it was grounded in slavery. The Vermont constitution had outlawed slavery from the get-go, and Clarendon, as an alleged stop on the Underground Railroad, may have entered a period of mild schizophrenia just before Fort Sumter, in which one kind of slave hid in the ice house while
another laid out petticoats on the bed across the street. But Vermonters have a long history of managing contradictions like these with poise and expediency: The springs attracted the first wave of tourism to the state and began the long and honorable tradition of capitalizing on flush folks from away.
V
ermont's mineral springs — and there are several — seem to A trigger a weird melancholy in most of the writers who have taken notice of them. A 1939 issue of The Vermonter talks wistfully about Clarendon Springs being permanently forgotten; Fodor's 1999 guide to Vermont offers a sidebar essay about ghost spas and their eerie, haunted qualities. This may be true as far as it goes, but a visit to Clarendon House is clearly cause for celebration and not depression: It may be one of the most insistently cheerful buildings in this corner of the state. The house sits in an elegant cluster of houses, anchoring the village and burbling like a happy baby. The tragedy, if there is one, is not that its glory is faded but that it is wonderfully intact — the north wall looks iffy but the

The scent inside the factory is light and clean, without even a whiff of nostalgia. W h a t about the 19th-century idea of taking waters for healing? Bierley thinks there was certainly something in it. "You have to remember that most wells back then were shallow," he says, "and they filled up with what amounted to surface water. This surface water tended to be full of contaminants, and tended to make people sick. So they would go to

Bierley at Vermont Pure says he once had to discard a run of freshly bottled spring water after a woman wearing French perfume came through the room. "It's the universal solvent," he says. "Water reaches out and grabs things and puts them in solution." This is what puts the minerals in the waters — they're leached from the surrounding environment — and what makes pure water a valuable commodity. Bierley manages the bottling

like Clarendon Springs were booming. The Greeks erected temples to Aesculapius, god of medicine and healing, next to mineral springs; the European passion for mineral water can be traced back to a plague that struck in 293 BC. By the early 1800s, the medical establishment had fully embraced the idea of the water cure, and people flocked to spas and watering holes to bathe, sip and immerse themselves. Do minerals really matter? "They do," Bierley says. "They give water a taste. Really pure water, water that's only hydrogen and oxygen, tastes funny, dry. After you drink it, your mouth feels cottony I know that sounds strange, but it's true. Making good-tasting water is a little like making wine." Bierley won't be pinned down on the question of whether water can be actively medicinal, but he is adamant that poor water can do active harm. At the height of the water craze there might have been 500 people each night comfortably ensconced in Clarendon Springs; in nearby Middletown Springs, the Montvert Hotel could take in 250 people each night and often did. But the springs in Middle-
the old springs, now uncovered, trickle into set tubs in a gingerbread gazebo. Here, the water can be tasted — sweet and a little leafy from the vegetable matter that accumulates in the basin, a kind of herb-and-mineral tea — and illustrated signs can be read. We still have our water fetish — it is water, after all, that comprises about 70 percent of our own bodies and covers two-thirds of the planet's surface. As I paddle my hand around in the chilly basin and sample the stuff, it seems to me that limpid, neutral substance is not bad thing to obsess about. ® To see Clarendon House, take Vermont Route 133 south from West Rutland to the Clarendon Springs Road; the hotel will appear soon on your right. Middletown Springs is also on 133, where it intersects with Route 140, and the park with the restored spring is about 500feet downhill from the main village green. Other area spas were in Manchester and in Saratoga Springs, New York. The Saratoga water tastes and smells unpleasantly of sulfur, which probably explains why the management added race meets and gambling tables.

New in town? Some of Burlington's artifacts need a Iitiie explanation
R G A N I C

D
on't call me Ishmael. M y job is to tell the tale of two whale tails, a couple of mysterious monkeys and one bursting rhino head. Burlington's visual urban legends also feature a forlorn grain tower, one screwball space machine and some sort of Granitehenge. There may be a million stories in the naked city, but this is the Queen City, where obscure artifacts sometimes seem stranger than fiction. One of the most public sagas surrounds the Pease Grain Tower, added to Burlington's waterfront in 1970 to mix feed grains that came in by rail. In 1987, an attached building was destroyed by fire, and the tower was left to fend for itself. According to Michael Monte, director of the Community and Economic Development Office, the city bought it in 1995 when the waterfront was being redeveloped. "Except for the pigeons, it has remained vacant since 1984," he reports, adding that "it's just a piece of equipment in my opinion, although it has romantic value to some." But Architect John Anderson thinks the rusting behemoth is worth keeping, if only for its vertical energy and elegant proportions. "It's an issue of vision and perception," he contends. Besides, the tower is "beautiful, honest, real," and has more to do with the history of the working waterfront, he says, than "those 18th-century French whatevers" — referring to the Georgian-fantasy townhouses at the edge of Waterfront Park. Needless to say, his is not an opinion shared by
all — in fact the city council voted Monday not to give the Pease another chance. North past the defunct Moran Plant, an oddity in itself, are some unexplained lying objects reminiscent of England's mysterious Stonehenge. Titled "Equinox," this sculptural installation was the result of an international artists symposium led by the late, great Paul Aschenbach, a University of Vermont art professor and famed free spirit who left his mark across the state. His protege Justin Rose — who happens to think the Pease is an eyesore — explains that Aschenbach's series of symposia are responsible for much of what visitors and Vermonters alike might take for granite. The first and second symposia — in the late '60s and early '70s — produced marble and cement sculptures still found at some rest stops along 1-89 and 1-91. The third, in 1990, generated the waterfront's large-scale granite installation. Some of the stones have carved, shiny lines on top that are parallel to two more pieces at the water's edge. Together, they line up with the setting sun of the spring equinox. Sunset-watchers on the hill south of Battery Park walk all over another Aschenbach original. Known in some circles as "Man in the Milk" because the marble pieces look like milk droplets leading to a drowning face, these nautical-themed pieces were installed to add local color to an otherwise drab set of steps. Rose recalls that Aschenbach hated to see great places going artless, and he thought a lot about "what a public space said about the people

Landmark Cases continued from page 17 there." Viewers may wonder, in turn, what these sculptures say about them. The two winged monkeys on top of Union Station at the bottom of Main Street probably say something about the city's sense of humor. From their clocktower perch atop the Grand Central-style structure — sans major train traffic since the '60s — the monkeys have seen time fly. Back in 1975, an Easton, Connecticut, artist named Steve Larrabee made the steel primates for the roof of The Emerald City of Oz, a waterbed and head shop on the corner of Bank and St. Paul streets. Missing in action while the store went through some changes, they appeared again in 1990 at the reopening of Emerald City Bedrooms on Shelburne Road. Two years later, one monkey was stolen. After a six-month absence — and lots of sympathetic publicity — Larrabee crafted a copper replacement. Shortly thereafter, acting on a crime-stoppers tip and setting up a stakeout, the police found the stolen monkey in a local residence. When Emerald City closed for good in 1997, Main Street Landing's Melinda Moulton and Lisa Steele brought the original two steel sculptures to grace the roof of their business and Burlington's waterfront. The question now is whatever happened to the copper ape? Speaking of monkey business, how the heck did a rhino burst through the attic at Conant Custom Brass on Pine Street? Steve Conant, owner and self-titled curator, explains that it all started with the desire to create "some drama on the front of the building." Like good magicians, Conant won't share the details of how he created the illusion. He will say, however, that the clapboard has not been disrupted and the rhino has generated an unreal amount of conversation. "I had no concept that it would be so well received or that it would put us on the map for something other than our fine products and services," Conant says with a laugh. He even started to feel guilty about exploiting the creature. Now the company contributes to various rhino conservation funds. Of course, that doesn't explain the black crows or pink flamingos that occasionally inhabit the company's front yard. Some parts of Africa are just a few blocks away, as the bricks on Church Street suggest. If you want to understand where in the w o r l d w e are, Standing on o u r
meridian-linked cities might help get a perspective. According to Monte, these seemingly random city names are all part of the "Earth Line" project, completed in October 1982. The blue-gray line down the two center blocks
represents Burlington's longitude (73° 13') on the Earth Line. The other cities are set off in downscaled proportion to their relationship to that line — three feet on the street is equal to 50 miles on Earth. The Marketplace's description of the project explains that cities on this side of
later turned into our local cop shop — now relocated to North Avenue. The big windows and steel beams left behind, says Monte, will probably be coopted by the new supermarket targeted for the old police station site. Finally, there are the tails of
Burlington's visual urban; legends also feature a A forlorn grain tower, one screwball space machine and ome sort of Gramtehenge. ' the Earth can be read while facing south; cities on the opposite side can be read while facing north. Even aliens might mistake Burlington as a sister city thanks to the thingamajig in the old police station parking lot on South Winooski Avenue. This Jetsons-like contraption, which residents probably stopped noticing years ago, actually keeps track of the city's air quality for the state's agency of natural resources. In Monte's opinion, however, the real earthly delight lurks behind the police station's fa9ade, where a creamery — no, not Ben & Jerry's —operated in the last century. Tom Visser, historic preservationist at UVM, reports that as ol 1932 it was listed as the General Ice Cream Corp. By I960, it was producing Sealtest ice cream, and some 10 years
two cities. If you've ever marveled at the end-up whale sculptures next to 1-89 — just to the right going northbound into Burlington near Williston — you should know the rr^mmal is no stranger to the kingdom. Titled "Reverence," this particular largescale work by artist Jim Sardonis was moved from the Randolph exit last summer by a patron. And if you're thinking sea creatures are out of place in Vermont, according to records at UVM's Perkins Geology Museum, railroad workers unearthed the bones of a mysterious animal near the town of Charlotte in 1854. Later identified as the remains of an arctic whale, geologists concluded that the ocean extended into the Champl ain Valley 12,500 years ago. Of course, the legendary Phish came much later. (7)

he bad news: They lost 4000. ballots and then 55 statuettes. The good news: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences fired the old producer of its annual awards broadcast and hired the veteran team of Richard and 1 Lili Zanuck, of Driving Miss Daisy fame, to revamp the show. The two immediately made the shrewd decision to lose its dopey dance numbers, lame scripted presenter banter and a full 30 minutes of its overlong running time. At four hours and five minutes, last year's ceremony was the longest ever. The other bad news: This year's was even longer, clocking in at a senseless four hours and eight minutes. And Irving Thalberg award-recipient Warren Beatty would probably still be rambling incoherently if pal Jack Nicholson hadn't mercifully yanked him off the stage. For every insightful improvement the shows hew producers made, the pair unfortunately made a blunder which cancelled it out. As a result, the 72nd annual Oscars ceremony provided a night that will live in schmoozefest infamy. Of course, the missteps began long before Billy Crystal even walked on stage, to host for a seventh time, with the nomination process somehow managing to overlook several of the best pictures and performances of the year. Maybe the ballots for Election got lost in the mail as well; Being John Malkovich was all but snubbed and, shockingly, Three Kings found itself on the wrong end of an all-out embargo. You can't blame the shows producers for blunders like that. And there's no need to. They came through with plenty of their own. What, for example, is the point of bagging tedious dance numbers if you're only going to replace them with tedious musical numbers? Crystal's a first-class wiseacre, not a song-and-dance man. As difficult as the people in charge seem to find ending the show,
beginning it appears to pose every bit as insurmountable a challenge. I say let's skip the cutesy, pretaped parodies and Crystal's onlyfco-so funny songs and just get down to business already. We shouldn't have to

(Of time with a montage, we were course, as it turned out, the devouring it with a salute. If paper's poll projecting the time was indeed of the essence, night's winners hit it out of the was it essential to have Garth park.)

But was amusing, even if the same what has this crazy cowboy got
'
sort of thing had been done in a previous year. The Zanucks deserve credit for an inspired innovation in their presentation of the five Best Song nominees. How often do you get to see five acts of that caliber perform live one after another? Randy Newman? Aimee Mann? When was the last time you saw these people on TV? And even Robin Williams couldn't spoil the fun when it came to the rousing rendition of "Blame Canada," from the also unjustly overlooked South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut — very possibly the year's funniest, most inventive film. I wanted to be mad at Phil Collins for winning with a sappy Tarzan song, but he just seemed like too sweet a guy when he gave his speech. How can you not like a someone who stands up there and says, "Thanks to the Academy for making all the movies I've loved and enjoyed"? Michael Caine's humble, human and warmly humorous words were a high point as well. I liked the way he tried to buck poor Haley Joel up after winning the second statuette of his career, and his crack to Tom Cruise was the best line of the evening: "You're lucky you didn't win — your price would go down. You have no idea what supporting actors get paid!" And he didn't even need a writer. And lets face it, whatever omissions were made in the nomination process, the year's best picture — American Beauty — did walk away with the award for Best Picture. It wasn't all that long ago the Academy wouldn't have gone near a film that wacky, much less extended it its highest honor. The show could have been significantly shorter, though,
had Crystal and various presenters simply devoted less time to making jokes about how long it was. I lost count somewhere around the dozenth. At 11:54, the host offered the umpteenth: "Okay, we're halfway done!" Shorter isn't really on the Oscars horizon, though, I don't think. The best we can realistically hope for is less bloated and tiresome. After all, somebody high up on the food chain is raking in a million bucks a pop for commercials, so the longer the show goes on, the more high-priced spots can go in. My guess is, there will always be pressure to keep this thing at four hours or more. Heck, if people would stay up, the Academy would give Oscars out all night long, telethon-style, and we'd finally get to see what all those people look like who win the technical awards. But even a population as celebrity-obsessed as ours needs its sleep. Viewership has been dropping for years. Last year's Oscars broadcast was the lowest-rated in a decade. To reverse that trend, producers of future shows are going to have to give viewers far less in the way of filler, like tired salutes and montages, and much more of something that Sunday night's show lacked almost completely: That's entertainment. ®

ORIGINAL P:
WRITE OF PASSAGE It's one thing to be a rocker; it's quite another to sling words like a guitar. Camden Joy, recently relocated to Montpelier, has penned piles of magazine articles for the likes of Spin, Mother Jones and Rolling Stone — which enthusiastically calls him "one of the greatest rock writers of our age" — and two books. His first, The Last Rock Star Book Or, Liz Phair: A Rant is followed up by the new release of Boy Island, a sort of fact-collidingwith-fiction approach to a band on the road, interspersed with notes from Operation Desert Storm. Joy reads from and signs Boy Island this Thursday evening at Borders in Burlington. STRINGS ATTACHED It's a sign of maturity to not be threatened by younger hotshots in your business, and Paul Asbell seems to have it. The Burlington-based guitarist of Unknown Blues Band fame was invited to play at a luthier convention — the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans, or ASIA — in Nashville last week, and it turns out the precocious young guitarist Julian Lage was on hand. If you don't recognize his name, just wait awhile. The great
CarlOS Santana, among others, has lately taken Lage, a juniorhigh-aged guitar prodigy from Santa Rosa, California, under his wing. With his own 30+-year career on the upswing, Santana just might have had something to do with Lage's appearance on the Grammies recently, in a brief gig with other young wunderkinds. "Linda Manzer makes a guitar that's his chosen instrument, and Pat Metheny had hooked him up with her," Asbell explains Lage's presence at the convention. "I was the only player who was really appropriate to play with him — he's exclusively a jazz player, and no one else really played jazz. We hit it off enormously and played a lot together." When Asbell brought Lage up to play at the end of his set, "people went wild," he says. "Two things are remarkable: He's simply a remarkable musician, and he happens to be 12." And he's not just kidding around. Here's to the next musical generation. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Kids, get in your basements and rehearse! It's almost time for the third annual Advance Music/Buzz High School Band Search. And
the competition could be stiff — "It's open to everyone in the Buzz listening area, including Canada," explains Mike Trombley at Advance. You can register at the store (by April 21), with a twosong demo on cassette or CD and permission from the 'rents. You also must be high-school-aged or younger. "Six finalists will be notified by April 28, and they'll play May 7," says Trombley. You will have 15 minutes of relative fame on stage, and don't be too nervous about that group of judges. Anyway, winning will make all the sweat worthwhile: a $500 gift certificate to Advance, a full day of recording at Eclipse Studio, Web site promo on Big Heavy World and a professional band photo by Seven Days photographer Matthew Thorsen. And, if your music fits the format, you'll even get airplay on the Buzz! Go for it. DO GOOD DEPT. Regular readers of this column have been given fair warning about the F.L.U.F.F. (Fools Launching Unusual Flights of Fancy) fund, but if you're such a big fool that you're not a regular reader, here's a quick summary: The fund, called Fool's Gold, is the share-brained idea of Burlington singer-songwriter Diane Horstmyer to establish a pot of gold for artists to dip into when they really are starving — for food, equipment or other necessities. So suffice it to say you should get yourself to the benefit, a blackand-white ball called "Fools' Paradise 2000" and featuring those nice fellas the Chrome Cowboys, at Metronome this Saturday. Preceding it, don't forget, is the Cheap Art Auction at

Oh, and taping is allowed . . . Blues guitarist/vocalist extraordinaire Kip Meaker has a new band — check out the aptly named Blue Velvet this Wednesday at Nectar's . . . The Big Heavy World Web site (bigheavyworld.com, natch) is redesigned and heavier than ever, with a new on-line Burlington radio station, indie co-op music shop, access to free MP3's and more. Here's to technology . . . Speaking of advances, I've been informed about a way that musicians can stay out of legal trouble: The Musician's Guide Through the Legal Jungle, an audiobook from Sashay Communications allegedly in "an entertaining question and answer format." I'm not hawking, but you can get a free review copy at 703-995-0430 (www.legaljungleguide.com) and, if you like it, plop down $29.95. Cheaper than a l a w y e r . . . Atlantic Crossing really did — cross the ocean, that is. The Burlington-based quartet left last Wednesday for their first tour of England and Wales.

F-H0LE, DRIVE (self-released, CD) — To play in the sphere of experimental jam-rock demands a certain sort of discipline alien to other realms of musical expression. Talent is less the issue; simply stated, it's more a matter of so-called "good taste." More specifically, the creation of ear-pleasing experimental rock is a complex matter that revolves around the musicians' ability to exhibit a sense of adventure tempered by a good dose of self-restraint. As evidenced by Drive, and by an inspired live set last week at Red Square, New Jersey's F-Hole possess the ability to perform this tricky balancing act. In this eighttrack, 40-minute disc they display this by presenting forward-moving melodic progressions, subsurface sonic explorations and swelling bursts of edgy rock ecstasy. Throughout, both domestic and foreign influences inform the band's style. Like early-period Ash Ra Temple, F-Hole turn to jazz structures to underpin their prog-rock progressions, then employ Eastern (both Middle and Far) ornamentation to affect their melodies and dirgy rhythmic phrases. Besides the one exotic hand drum played by percussionist J.P. Wasicko, all of this is achieved with the standard rock 'n' roll lineup of guitar, bass and drums — an amazing accomplishment, to say the least. While the nimble, half-step playing fingers of guitarist Scott Metzger certainly deserve credit as a leading force, the vibe this band accomplishes is rooted in their seemingly innate sense of collectivism. This effort often results in frenzied shimmers of jazz-influenced rock, though the trio is most stimulating, to my ears, at their most subliminal and least straightforward. The sparse, underwater transmissions found on tracks like "Crossing" is one example. On this brief cut,

effected bass, played by Matt Kohut, rumbles beneath whale-moan-like guitar scrapes and ringy cymbal washes. Later on, with "Deer," the band charts similar ground with an equally ominous set of effected guitar swells and throbby rhythmic pulsations. "Moon" is the definite high point on the album. This eight-minute composition beautifully synthesizes the melodic style found elswhere on the disc and the sonic tenderness found only on the above-named choice cuts. It is a majestic piece of stretched-out, slowly evolving musical bliss. Without the heady wankiness found on a few less satisfying tracks, "Moon" is FHole feeling their way through their sounds. Although less apparent in their live set, this mode of playing seems to offer the most expressive outlet for the band, and I hope they run with it. Either way, F-Hole are exuberant in their experimentalism and succeed by not succumbing to those overthe-top tendencies that can turn good vibes into cheese.

MELISSA FERRICK, FREEDOM (What Are Records?, CD) — With the release of her third What Are Records? disc, Boston singersongwriter Melissa Ferrick has managed to stake out an intensely personal style. Self-produced with the help and tasty bass playing
from long-time friend Marika Tjelios (Men Without Hats), Freedom is acoustic guitar- and vocal-based, but subtly fleshed out in all the right places. Ferrick is an "out" artist, but keeps her lyrics gender-neutral, inclusively focusing on the "me" and "you" of relationships rather than the "he" or "she." Though she does come across as feminine and feelings-oriented, Ferrick's edge and slightly smoky voice make her sound more riot grrl than girly girl, more P.J. Harvey than Jewel. Supportive, unobtrusive drum loops supplied by Dr. Groove underlie about half these 11 + 1 tracks, including most of my favorites. Ferrick did win me over with "Win 'em Over," a charming distillation of what she does for a living that transcends a couple of new-age moments with its honest tone. She gets pretty steamy on the soulful "Drive" and the slightly spastic "This Is Love," writing about sex in a manner subtly balanced between the implicit and explicit. I also particularly liked the conflicted pop of "North Carolina" and the longing "Blindside." I preferred the rawer electric bonus version of the title track to the acoustic opener, with Ferrick belting it hard and sounding sorta like the singer from The Waterboys in the process. Ferrick gets a tad verbose at times on this fine collection of melodic, mostly lovelorn songs, but she's no ^^
mope. Her cleareyed passion seems to be for finding strength and wisdom in love while winnowing out the bitterness. Freedom is an inspiring start. Ferrick plays for UVM's Queer Visibility Week at Billings Student Center this Friday. — Paul Gibson

compromised land: Maps of the Golan Heights usually agree on highs and lows. But depending on where the cartography originated, the borders tend to vary. The strategically located plateau was taken by Israel in 1967, but Syria's government still claims it. The region is still the main issue stalling peace talks between the countries. Vermont's version of the summit features CNN correspondent Raghida Dergham, Syrian professor Sadik Al-Azm, Israeli consul general to New England Itzhak Levanon — and to make sure everyone's on the same atlas page, Oregon State geography prof Aaron Wolf.

Paul Taylor has been a driving force in modern dance for nearly a half-century. Originally a swimmer, he was a soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company before stepping out on his own. The award-winning choreographer has a thing for pedestrian moves — mostly walking, skipping, running and leaping — but his dances tend to be athletic, varied and dynamic. Companies around the world have performed them, but his own troupe does it best. His tango without tango steps, Piazzolla Caldera, is on the program, along with the dramatic Arabesque, set to music by Debussy. Wednesday, April 5• Flynn Theatre, Burlington, 7:30p.m. $16-29.

carpe diem: Students from around the state say salve to scholarship at this year's Latin Day. Classics professor Philip Ambrose reports that the language is still vibrant around the state — 800 high-schoolers are expected, and the public is invited. The theme is taken from the last six books of Vergil's Aeneid — one passage is more familiar to people from the pyramid on the dollar bill. Just as Jupiter's eye winked approval to the newly formed USA, the Latin Day theme was chosen, says Ambrose, "as a way to greet the new millennium" in aula Universitatis Viridis Montis.

dynamics duo: "I believe we were always meant to be a team," Sergio Assad says of his brother, from the first time we picked up our guitars." He and Odair grew up in Brazil, where their guitar-playing viruosity was evident early on. Together, they received an identical education from guitar great Andres Segovia, and after years of playing in tandem, have achieved a harmony that is, well, genetic. They put their minds, and maos, toj er in a concert of works by Jean-Philippe Rameau, Isaac Albenix, Leo Brouwer and Egberto Gismonti. Two pieces are custom-made, by composers Terry Riley and Astor Piazzolla. Friday, March 31. Flynn Theatre, Burlington, 8 p.m. $15-24. Info, 863-5966.

Reap "Doom drips from the pages of Reap like blood from a hanging deer carcass. The only questions are when, where and on whom it will fall." -Pip Vaughn-Hughes, SEVEN DAYS Burlington-born Eric Rickstad presents a unique take on the traditional coming-of-age story with his debut novel Reap, a bold, dramatic work of fiction about fate, self knowledge, and family secrets. The story takes place in the Northeast Kingdom, where Eric has spent a great amount of time fishing for trout along the Canadian and New Hampshire borders. Called the Howard Mosher for the younger generation, Rickstad's novel is filled with characters possesed of inward and outward conflict that reflect the characteristics of the Kingdom. Reap is not only about coming-of-age, but is also concerned with poor choices, town history, the resolve of women in difficult situations, and the struggle of people to find solace and redemption, and to be understood.

Smereka also presents highly textured abstractions in the main gallery. Each features a few simple, prominent shapes in a manner akin to some works by Paul Klee.

Yup, turns out choosing between dueling dimwits is the least of our country girl's problems. Cue poignant Top-40 soundtrack music, lots of close-ups of Sobieski facing her fate with the kind of clearminded courage you find only in Hollywood watch'em-die-a-thons and — like I need to tell you — a whole new vibe between the muscle-bound meatheads.
If I say too much, it is only because the film attempts too little. I'd hate to see you invest your time and hard-earned dollars with the expectation they might buy anything but the most bone-headed, paintby-numbers bathos. The film's young cast is promising enough, and this fellow Frost has talent, but there's simply no saving this one. Mark Piznarski directs like he's making a commercial for some longdistance carrier, and the dialogue's enough to leave one yearning for the hard-edged repartee of, say, "One Life to Live" or "Felicity." A 50-hanky load of hospital-strength hokum, Here On Earth is doomed from the start. ®

becued bistro! Now there's some rock-solid case law for you. Oddly, Klein doesn't appeal. Unless you count the effect he has on old dewy-eyes, who drops her long-time squeeze and puts the moves on him in less time than it no doubt took script author Michael Seitzman to flunk out of Screenwriting 101. The odd couple takes long walks in the woods and quotes from the Robert Frost poem "Birches." The two make out in a field and quote from "Birches." They go all the way to Boston and go all the way in the Klein family's Love Story-style mansion, where they quote from Robert Frost's "Birches." Of course, this being a shameless Love Story rip-off, it's just a matter of time until all those birches come down with Dutch Elm Disease. ^ *

HERE ON EARTH** A patchwork weepie thrown together with bits and pieces from far better films, Here On Earth may have been devised as an antidote to the current wave of releases about ruthless or amoral teens, but it's likely to leave all but diehard fans of the tearjerker feeling ill. Mixing and matching elements purloined from a variety of sources, including An Officer and a Gentleman, Romeo and Juliet and Love Story, the picture stars Leelee Sobieski as an Mtv generation Ali McGraw — though she's clearly the love child of Helen Hunt. Elections Chris Klein and Halloween H20s Josh Hartnett play the other two points in a love triangle which tears apart a bucolic Berkshires village. Well, burns down its most popular eatery, anyway, and in this backwater burg that qualifies as high drama, since the spot is clearly social and cultural ground zero for the human Hallmark Cards who live there. The idea is, Sobieski is a dewy-eyed waitress. Klein's a rich hunk who goes to the nearby private school, and Hartnett plays the girl's oldest friend, her boyfriend by default now that the pair has gone through puberty. One night Klein pops into the diner with some buddies, makes eye contact with Sobieski and thereby draws the wrath of Hartnett and his buddies — the result being a high-speed game of chicken straight out of Rebel Without a Cause fueled by college boy vs. townie antagonism straight out of Breaking Away. Which leads to Hartnett plowing his car straight into the gas pumps in front of the restaurant, blowing it straight to kingdom come. So it goes without saying the boys are arrested and the local judge sentences Klein to live at Hartnett's house all summer while the two help rebuild the bar-

When the lecture series was established a decade ago upon Esther's death, Howard Dean was among those who contributed financially to endow the annual lecture in Sorrell's memory. After all, Sen. Sorrell had been the political mentor of a certain young and eager New York City doctor who landed in Burlington in 1978. Asked about Trinity's decision to ban Steinem because of her pro-choice views, Ho-Ho declined to reveal his personal opinion, but told Seven Days, "Esther would have been disappointed."

brand-new news operation. On the Catholic College Scene — Burlington's Trinity College may have reaffirmed its Catholic tradition with the controversial decision to rescind its invitation to Gloria Steinem to give the annual Esther Hartigan Sorrell Lecture in May, but folks close to the former state senator were not pleased.

Those sentiments were echoed by her son, too. "I remember," said Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell, "my mother once said to me that for her, personally, she could not bring herself to have an abortion, but she felt it was a woman's right to make those decisions." He called the Steinem matter "unfortunate." The Notre Dame grad told Seven Days his mom "was very respectful of other people's opinions. She believed to the bottom of her being that respectful discussion and debate are what our governmental structure is all about." Trinity College theologian Laurie Gagne, who coordinates the Peace and Justice lecture series, said this week there will not be a replacement speaker for this year's Esther Hartigan Sorrell Lecture, since the college has already mailed the $1000 honorarium to Steinem. Bummer. But lift your spirits, all ye who value the free exchange of ideas, because the other Catholic college in Chittenden County would
nave no problem hosting the feminist icon. : Gloria Steinem's invite was yanked, said Trinity officials, because of her pro-choice stance on abortion, a position opposed by the Church, but in sync with the law of the land. Buff Lindau, the St. Michael's College public relations director, told Seven Days, "I don't want to cast aspersions on Trinity and I have no intention of judging what they've done, but we've had feminist speakers on campus. In fact, noted Lindau, there's a very active faculty/staff Women's Caucus at St. Mike's, and the school offers a gender/women's studies minor to undergraduates. (Don't tell the Vatican, okay?) As for the Steinem ban, sources at Trinity told Seven Days the school had received "threats from pro-lifers" who promised Gloria's appearance would draw a protest demonstration. Trinity president Sr. Jacqueline Marie Kieslich acknowledged there had been a couple calls. "They wanted us to know they would not be happy," she said. But Sister Jacqueline denied threats of a demonstration. Incidentally, last November, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted Ex Corde Ecclesiae, which, to this layman, appears to tighten the Church's reins on Catholic colleges. For example, Ex Corde states the majority of faculty members should be Catholic and those teaching theology should apply for a mandatum, a sort of written stamp of approval, from the local bishop stating the professor "is a teacher within the full communion of the Catholic Church." Great. Theologian Ed Mahoney, director of the graduate program in theology at St. Mike's, disputed the suggestion that Rome, through its local bishops, is trying to tightening the grip on the curriculum at Catholic institutions of higher learning. "I don't sound the alarm bells the way others do," Mahoney told Seven Days Tuesday. "I don't believe in conspiracy theory." Mahoney, who picked up his Ph.D. at the Louvain in France, said it will be years before Ex Code is approved by Rome and implemented. "How it plays out," he said, "will really depend on the local bishop and how he wants to interact with local [Catholic] colleges." As for the Steinem affair, Sr. Jacqueline said local bishop Ken Angell had not weighed in on the matter. As for St. Michael's and its decidedly liberal approach to feminist speakers, Lindau said, "We have good relations with the Bishop and that's important to this college." In fact, St. Mike's has booked a well-known pro-choice United States senator to deliver this year's commencement address — Patrick J. Leahy. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. ®

IS DEALER-RECOMMENDED ENGINE FLUSH REALLY NECESSARY? Dear Tom and Ray: While having my 1996 Toyota Camry (45,000 miles) serviced recently, the service technician handed me a brochure and told me it was time to have my engine flushed (to the tune of $129) by something called the Bilstein R-2000 Engine Flush System. I politely declined, saying I would consider it next time. The brochure says it should be done every 12,000 miles. In my 30 years (and my husband's 30-plus years) of driving, neither of us has ever heard of such a recommendation. Is this the latest attempt by dealers to "extort" more money from us unsuspect-

ing drivers? Is such an engine cleansing REAILY necessary? I would appreciate your comments, please. — Marilyn TOM: I suspect this device is known around the dealership as the Bilstein R-2000 Wallet Flush System. And, in fact, my brother has already called Bilstein about leasing one. RAY: What this thing does is pump a heated solvent through your engine, presumably to wash away any sludge that's built up on the valves, rings or other engine components. TOM: And it's really quite unnecessary. Particularly for a car with only 45,000 miles on it. Changing the oil serves the same purpose — de-sludgification, if you will — and if you change the oil every 5,000 or

7,500 miles, you shouldn't HAVE any significant sludge that needs to be washed out. RAY: While it's possible that such cleaning may help the engine last longer, the engine on a Toyota Camry should easily last 150,000 miles without flushing. And if you followed the advice in the brochure and flushed the engine every 12,000 miles, you'd spend $1,600 on engine flushes in 150,000 miles. That's almost enough to buy a rebuilt engine! TOM: This is what's known in the business as a "profit center." Something the garage can use to beef up the amount each person spends per visit. So unless you've got a very old car, and are trying to solve a specific, sludge- or carbon-relatedproblem, I'd skip the R-2000. Dear Tom and Ray: Earlier this year I purchased a new Dodge Dakota Sport pickup with the 3.9 liter V-6 Magnum engine and five-speed transmission. I would like to

make some minor modifications to the engine to increase the horsepower, but I'm not sure if these modifications are worth the time and money. Plus, I don't want to do anything to damage the engine in the process. The modifications I am considering are as follows: 1) installing a K&N air filter and possibly charger; 2) installing a high-performance exhaust System such as a Flowmaster; 3) installing highperformance spark plugs along with new wires and distributor cap; and 4) replacing the stock computer chip with a performance chip. I also saw something about getting extra horsepower by replacing the gear on the cooling fan. Any advice you could give me regarding these modifications would be greatly appreciated.

null and void. RAY: As it should be. Everything you mention would give you more power — some more than others — but they would also work the engine harder and, therefore, wear it out faster. And if I were Dodge, I wouldn't want to pay for your cracked cylinder head under these circumstances, either. TOM: If you were that keen on more power, you should have opted for the 4.7 liter V-8 . engine that's available on the Dakota. For an extra thousand bucks (probably less than you'd spend on all these add-ons), you'd have an extra 60 horsepower AND your warranty intact to boot, Jeff. Got a question about cars?

from the secret files of May c a n n o r i
Some workers've been diggin' up the pipes in front of my apartment complex for about two weeks now. The noise is drivin' me crazy.
So this mornin' I asked one of 'em how long they'd be workin' on them pipes. I could tell the guy wanted to tell me to take a hike, but instead he said "about two more days, sir"
Of course, I've noticed folks are extra polite to a guy who's completely nekkid except for a blue terry cloth bath turban and who's also holdin' a lit cherry bomb.

Dear Cecil, Does lipstick contain fish scales? I saw this in a list of fun facts making the rounds by e-mail. — Natalie Monahan, Albuquerque, New Mexico Who comes up with these lists? Yeah, lipstick contains fish scales. Some lipstick, anyway. This could be the first email factoid in the history of the Internet to have some grounding in reality. Sooner or later you knew something was bound to slip through. The ingredient under discussion is called pearl essence. (Some sources give this as "pearlescence.") Its the silvery stuff found in fish scales that's used in some lipsticks, nail

polishes, ceramic glazes, etc., to make them shimmery. Pearl essence is obtained primarily from herring and is one of many by-products of large-scale commercial fish processing. Synthetic versions have been developed, but to what extent they've supplanted the natural variety I hesitate to say. What was interesting to me — I got numerous inquiries about this — was that people are still alarmed to discover that consumer products contain (oh, ick!) animal body parts. Gang, one hates to harp on this, but get a grip. Most of you eat hunks of dead animal every day! You wallow in the flesh of critters that once gamboled in the gardenias! (Frolicked in the foam, whatever.) You want the pearl essence to go to waste? Otherwise it would be left over after they extracted the more obviously useful parts of the fish, and surely it's preferable to have the stuff wind up on the lips of women than on some heap of toxic slag. Still, one wants to be thorough. I contacted People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, figuring that any organization with the balls to urge college students to drink beer rather than milk because dairying hurts the cows was sure to have a horror story or two about how we oppress fish. No response, although you have to assume the hook and net thing isn't good. Prowling about on the Web I did find this description of how pearl essence is harvested: "The purse seine draws the herring up from the bottom and into an ever-decreasing circle, where the pumper [boat] pumps the fish out, and into the hold of the buyer's boat. In the meantime, due to thrashing in the seine and going through the pumper, nearly all of the herring scales are removed and diverted into bags on the pumper's deck." This is perhaps not the world's kindest process. I also learned that global herring production is threatened by overfishing, raising the specter of a world full of nonshimmering lips. Pearl essence is just one of a long list of unsuspected animal ingredients in cosmetics. If you think fish scales in lipstick is gross, get a load of cerebrosides, used in skin-care

products to create a smoother skin surface, increase moisture retention, heighten "luminosity," etc. According to the Food and Drug Administration, "the raw material for cerebrosides in cosmetics comes from cattle, oxen, or swine brain cells or other nervous-system tissues." Eww. If you're bothered by this sort of thing you might prefer to get your cosmetics from environmentally aware companies such as Aveda. In addition to minimizing the use of synthetics and volatiles, Minneapolis-based Aveda relies on plant- rather than animal-based ingredients. "Some colors, for example, are very difficult to create without using carmine, but the company decided that crushing insects to derive the ingredient is unethical," we read. One smiles, but in the era of the rape of the rain forest it's charming to hear about a company so good-hearted that it wouldn't hurt — well, if not a fly, at least a Dactylopius coccus.

ARIES
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Tuning m y psychic vision into your imminent future, I see you lying on a floor surrounded by wine-stained poetry books, crumpled Matisse prints, abandoned underwear and half-eaten bowls of fruit. You're staring up at the ceiling with a mad gaze, muttering gibberish and waving your hands as if swatting away demons. APRIL FOOL! I do in fact see you sprawled on a floor, but you're brimming with sweet songs, not nonsense, and that look in your eye is billowing joy, not disoriented frustration. W h a t I think m y vision means is that you'll be driven deliciously delirious by a lush romantic mystery.
TAURUS
(Apr. 2 0 - M a y 20): In a puppet show I saw recently, a cook was about to throw a live lobster into a pot of boiling water when he was interrupted by the arrival o f five lobsters dressed like Robin Hood and his Merry Men. They seized their compatriot before the evil deed could be done, carrying him away to safety. I offer you this stirring tale, Taurus, in hopes it will rouse you to rescue your own inner lobster from a comparable fate. APRIL FOOL! You don't have an inner lobster, silly. You do have an inner righteous outlaw, however — you know, an honorable rebel, a troublemaker w h o fights f o r truth and justice — and that character needs to spring into action now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It'll be a good week to make counterfeit money, arrange to have psychedelic drugs sent to you in the mail, and earnestly plan the overthrow of the government. APRIL FOOL! You do have a lot of karmic credit right now, and the gods are indeed willing to give you lots of slack — but not that much. I suggest you use your luck to attract sweet treats and playful jaunts, not foolish risks and insane adventures. If you simply can't suppress your urge to commit extreme acts, choose some that won't land you
—
in jail. How about trying to love thy neighbor as thyself, for instance?
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Magically slipping past security guards, the Anti-Christ will ride a two-headed wolf into the offices of The New York Times this week. Demanding that editors publish a front-page apology for their pathological obsession with bad news, this Minion of Satin (he'll be wearing a blue satin jumpsuit) will threaten to release a genetically engineered disease that causes its victims to paint their shoes red and dance 1 6 hours a day. Will you let this happen, Cancerian? I hope not. Drop what you're doing and head for the trouble spot! Promise me you'll intercept the Nefarious One before he can work his mischief. APRIL FOOL! You are indeed the champion problem-solver and crisis-cruncher of the zodiac these days, but you'll get best results if you work closer to home.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Picture yourself gobbling ripe organic strawberries that have been genetically modified and irradiated. Imagine you're chainsmoking Marlboros as you pedal your exercise bicycle, or wandering through a garbage dump while listening to gorgeous music on a Walkman. These meditation exercises will get you in the mood to navigate through the conflicts ahead. APRIL FOOL! W h i l e you will encounter incongruity this week, it's more likely to come in the form of sweet paradoxes than intolerable contradictions. Imagine feeling nostalgia for the future. Envision yourself leaving a homey sanctuary for an exotic playground. Picture the poignant

VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): To help you atone for your relentless selfdisparagement, I decree that every Virgo must purchase and wear a button that says "Worship Me!" To drive home the point that the cosmic powers I speak for will no longer tolerate your refusal to own your full authority, I demand that the next time precipitation begins to fall on your parade, you must shake your fist toward the heavens and bellow, "The rain can kiss my ass!" APRIL FOOL! I'm not so arrogant to think I have the right to order you around, Virgo. I do politely request, however, that you follow the advice I offered above.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As a kid, I suspected I had magical powers that worked in reverse. The trick was to pray that I wanted the opposite of what I really wanted. So for instance while I listened to radio broadcasts of Detroit Tiger baseball games, I would pretend to jinx my favorite player, Al Kaline, with hexes. "Miss the ball, Al," I chanted. "Make an out. Do your worst, Al." It was uncanny how often he did well whenever I tried this. I bring this up, Libra, because I believe you now have the same power. APRIL FOOL! I'm just messing with you, beautiful, hoping that I will shock you into realizing how superstitious you've been about asking for what you desire most.
SCORPIO
AQUARIUS ,Jan 20

thrill of losing your religion as you find your true God.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 2 1 ) : To encourage your efforts to get ahead on the job, I offer these tips from expert Kazue Susuki. 1) Always arrive 15 minutes early. 2) Before you leave at the end of the day, ask your superiors if there's any task you can help them with. 3) In your leisure
h ..tens your alertness and vividly reminds you of how unique you are.
m
time, eagerly devour books related to your job. 4) Frequently imagine kissing your boss' butt sweetly. APRIL FOOL! Tip 4 is mine, not Susuki's. It's my sarcastic way of suggesting that you blow off his smarmy advice entirely. This is prime time to launch job improvement strategies, it's true, but you're more likely to succeed if you're ballsy, not wimpy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 2 1 ) : A n angel will soon appear to you in a dream and reveal that God has chosen you to conceive a child who will become the world savior. Unfortunately, you will laugh in the angel's face and spew, "Go infect some other sucker with your megalomaniac hallucincations, bub — I've got more realistic fantasies to spawn." APRIL FOOL! W h i l e the dream I described is approximately true, your negative response to the deluded angel will not be unfortunate at all. In fact, it'll be wise. You are abundantly fertile now, and you should be very practical in deciding what visionary goal will receive your creative juice.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There's really no difference, as far as I can tell, between the nirvana the Buddhists idolize and the supremely empty-headed serenity attained after four hours of watching T V on a comfy couch. Both states yield a suspension of desires and the disappearance of a sense of self. I don't care which one you seek this week, Capricorn. Either's fine. APRIL FOOL! It's true that relaxation should be your priority, but you should pursue it with all your might and ingenuity, and in a way that
Feb. 18): Squeeze into an ill-fitting niche that divides you against yourself, Aquarius. Make nasty comments about yourself behind your back. Fret and sweat over trivial worries that won't matter at all a month from now. APRIL FOOL! It's true that if you continue in the direction you're headed, you will commit the sins I named. But now that you know what to guard against, I expect you'll take a proactive detour. As a result, maybe you'll hold regular committee meetings in which your left brain and right brain work together to arrive at shared goals despite their sometimes divergent agendas.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You tell too many half-truths. Money will always be a big problem for you. Your furniture is ugly. Collecting psychological crutches is your hobby. You make G o d sick. APRIL FOOL! I was just testing you, Pisces — trying to see if you've finally built up your sense of self strong enough not to be shaken every time some thoughtless jerk flings a negative vibe your way. Here's the real truth: Your emotional intelligence gives you greater access to deep truths than any other sign. You've never been in a better position to get richer quicker than you are this year. God adores you, and is now trying to trick you into accepting gifts you've always ignored. ®

Dear Lcla, My lever is a writer, and though. I love this about her, I sometimes feel as ifj there are three of us in this relationship: me, her and her precious little Muse. We'll be talking about something totally unrelated — like me, for example — when her fjace will get that totally enraptured look. I'll think this means she loves me, but then she'll reach for her Ijriggin' notebook. She gets up in the middle of the night, too, when she should be in my arms. So fiar, she's never become "inspired" in the middle oft sex, but I tear it's Just a matter ot time. How can I possibly compete here? Rejected in Richmond Dear Rejected, you can't possibly compete. And if you try to make your lady choose, I guarantee she'll either opt for the Muse, or end up resenting you. It is reasonable for you to expect a certain degree of consideration and respect, especially during heart-to-hearts or cheek-to-cheeks. Beyond that, you need to either deal or throw in your cards. Love,
