O N PROFANITY Let me offer you a few words in reaction to Jayne MethotWalker and Virginia de G Russell’s missives regarding your taste in advertising [Weekly Mail, March 24]. Frankly, I find the current trend o f child worship more offen sive than pretending that skiing is punk enough to warrant profanity. Give the kids some credit; most of them are much smarter than the people who maintain that the wrong word will cripple them for life. Kids don’t need to be protected from society; society needs to be protected from kids, and profanity is the first line of defense. The next time you’re subjected to a pure, wholesome, innocent fouryear-old’s temper tantrum because his mother won’t buy him the gay Teletubby, do what I do: Tell him to shut the fuck up. — Bryan A. Stratton Middlebury
movies (when we can afford to, given current prices) to escape the day in and day out. When was the last time you simply lost yourself in a film and did not critique all o f its merits? Seems to me some one who criticizes as much as he does, perhaps thinks he can do better? We would all love a chance to judge your on-screen endeavors — oh, kind of like us critiquing your reviews, huh? Let’s hear what others think out there. — J.P. Newton Burlington
FRESH CRITICAL EYE Marc Awodey’s reviews of art exhibits consistently amaze. Time and again he manages to bring to every work of art a fresh critical and visual and visceral sense of its particularity, whether the work is great or small, known or obscure. His March 10th column on the Modernist prints (at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe) was especially impressive for its suc cinct, straightforward descriptions SELF-IN D U LG EN T REVIEWS — from Kandinsky’s “agitated I know that controversy and jumble of hard-edged lines and thought-provoking articles are the shapes on a black field” to Milton mainstay of any media endeavor Avery’s gray, fan-shaped “humble like “Freyne,” but after years of lis squab” with “tear-drop body” in a “sea of cobalt blue.” tening to Rick Kisonak’s reviews that have been shifted from, or Add to that Awodey’s visionary repeated on, our local airwaves perspective on art history and its and newspapers, it’s time to write movements in time (from High in and suggest a real long vacation Renaissance to anybody’s guess for Mr. Kisonak!

This is easy to answer when Lighten up! Some of us go to the reminded that Vermont’s property
taxes were designed 200 years ago at a time when people lived, worked and educated children in the same town they paid their business and property taxes to. This practice created a balance between a town’s grand list and their education costs. If a family had a farm or business, these structures were taxed by the same town to educate the children who were living there. The horse and buggy are gone now and the advent of the auto mobile has allowed many the lux ury of finding employment in one community while choosing to live in another. This development has given rise to towns like Killington, Stratton and Stowe, where up to 60 percent of the labor force staffing businesses there live in surrounding communities that provide affordable housing and ask these same communities to edu cate their children... As distance grew between one’s hometown and one’s workplace, the ensuing efforts to balance the resources that funded education did not succeed. Communities similar to Killington developed very high grand lists and had very low educational costs. Their low property tax rates lured more sec ond-home owners and businesses to locate there as they benefited from substantial savings. Meanwhile, the outlying towns, unable to attract business because of location or high taxes, saw their grand list remain low while education costs soared. The resulting discrepancy from town to town became staggering, and a $ 1 tax rate raised $11,000 per student in one town, while in another it raised an excess of $116,000 per student. Families with incomes less than $20,000 paid between 3 and 16 percent of their income in property taxes, while wealthier

families making greater than $100,000 paid 0.3 to 2 percent of theirs. Today people with high incomes are asked (via the proper ty tax) to pay a percentage of their income that is closer to — but still not equal to — the percentage of income lower-income families have been paying for years. Act 60 is not perfect, but it does maintain local control o f budgets and is a strong beginning, providing a sound foundation that will be fine-tuned with time. I am grateful for the Senators and Representatives o f this state who have worked passionately for over 20 years, against wellfinanced opposition and at great personal expense, to balance tax burdens and educational opportu nity once again. Because of their principles and steadfastness, each student in every town is provided an opportunity to succeed, and each family enjoys a more equal tax burden. I give them my applause. — Gail Holmes Mendon

You had to be in three last weekend to catch the latest crop of new movies made in Vermont.

There’s not a trace of Howard Frank Mosher in the twentysomething reunion film that throws five oversexed singles together on the shores of dick-shriveling Crystal Lake.

Refreshingly, the signature images of Vermont films — dairy cows, old timers, autumn leaves — are missing from this cine matic soap opera. Spin the Bottle never even mentions the Green Spin the Bottle Mountains, although it does follow the quirky quintet up Mount Pisgah for a great view of Lake Willoughby. The movie focuses on the relationships between the characters, and the actors do an amazing job sucking the viewer in — no pun intended. Writer Amy Sohn, who writes a weekly column for New York Press, has a real feel for girl talk. As for the story, well, let’s just say Bev and Ted learn a thing or two about each other, and them selves, before deciding to call off their engagement.

Moose, a strapM u d SeaSO H ping but decid edly misanthropic misfit who makes his living off the land. He takes deer out of season. He drinks Catamount by the case. And one day he makes a visit to an illegal brothel run by a Chinese madam — in Barre, o f all places — that changes his life forever. The three guys who made M ud Season — Rob Lewbel, Anthony Hall and Eddie Filian — had trouble finding a local actress to play the Asian “girl.” But that did not translate into a plot change, so the movie is built around the somewhat improbable scenario of a Vermont logger hooking up with an indentured Chinese sex slave, and the two falling in love, h la Buffalo 66. The game warden, with his Mainiac accent, is no more convincing. Somehow it doesn’t matter, though. M ud Season is still a pleasure to watch for its spectacular spring scenery and fine dramatic moments between Dewees and George Woodard, who plays Moose’s logging partner. It is with Woodard that Dewees ventures into emo tional territory unexplored in his earlier roles, from Antoine in Judevine to his own one-man show, The Logger. You’ll recognize famil iar faces, like Burlington waitress Moira O ’Brien and white-haired Ken Winter, who’s a dead ringer for Rip Torn in Where the Rivers Flow North.

utside M arc vanderHeyden’s office window at St. M ichael’s College is a stately, broad-limbed white ash, and beyond that, in the distance, a spectacular view o f the Green M ountains. O n a sunny day, he wants to make sure you notice the snow-covered peak o f M t. M ansfield. In many ways, this long view, and vanderHeyden’s near-reverent devotion to it, provide a perfect metaphor for the perspective he brings to his professional and personal life. This is a man who understands the power, and the enduring significance, o f beauty. T h at’s not the first thing you feel compelled to say about m ost college presidents. Professionally, he’s a histori an and an administrator, but it’s the arts that feed vander- ' 1 Heyden’s spirit: He loves to explain the rectangles o f art on his walls; he can’t resist tapping the sonorous Japanese temple bell next to his water cooler; he’s rapturous over the Persian carpets on his floors at home; and he’s far more likely to switch on Vivaldi than the tele vision. The arts also inform his vision as head o f this small col lege founded by Edm undites.
VanderHeyden believes it’s the duty o f the school to instill cul tural appreciation in its stu dents — even the science majors — and to teach how the arts enrich society. Moreover, he thinks St. M ichael’s College ought to m odel such behavior both on cam pus and off. W hile his cultural projects on cam pus are notable — a sum mer artist-in-residence pro gram, the acquisition o f visual art for the school, a recording project for student musicians — they’re not especially surpris ing. After all, the college is there for the enhancement o f its students. M ore remarkable is the growing involvement o f St. M ike’s in downtown Burlington: For starters, vanderHeyden’s immensely per sonable wife D ana — a “college associate” who serves cheerfully as its good-will am bassador — is on the board o f Burlington C ity Arts, the Red Cross, Alliance Fran 9ais, Heritage W inooski and the University o f Vermont’s Lane Series. T he last appointm ent came as a result o f last fall’s Hildegard von Bingen conference — an unprecedent ed collaboration between St. M ike’s, U V M and Trinity College. T his week marks the arrival

this decade — and this millen nium : the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts.

Spengem ann has shown over the last four years for both gal vanizing local artists and dis cussing their work with gallerygoers, he now shows o ff the foamcore m odel and drawings by Burlington architect John Anderson for the Firehouse pro ject. “T he idea is to create a central downtown center for the arts,” says, “the engine or turbine or thing that realistical ly and symbolically represents the arts in the Burlington area.” T he current basement is quite shallow, Spengem ann explains, so it will actually be dug deeper in order to accom m odate classrooms for print m aking and childrens work shops — and maybe photogra
phy in the future. G lass bricks will be installed in the front fifth o f the floor at the ground level, in order to allow natural light into the basem ent and “to give the impression that som e thing is happening down there,” Spengem ann says. Its unclear what the renovators will do with a natural spring that bubbles up at one end. The street-level gallery will remain essentially the same, except its tiered floor will be m ade uniform to increase acces sibility and exhibition space. M ore dramatically, the back will be opened out onto C ity H all Park to embrace a small sculp ture garden. T he second floor will be
o f an acclaimed international exhibit that M arc vanderHeyden helped acquire for the m onth o f April at Burlington C ity Hall: “Anne Frank: A H istory for Today.” The show, com prising photographs, text and educational com ponents, was underwritten by St. M ichael’s College. In conjunc tion with the exhibit, the school’s annual Rabbi M ax B. Wall Lecture will leave the cam pus lectern behind; Julie Goshchalk’s “Crossing the Abyss: W hen a Daughter o f H olocaust Survivors Meets Children o f N azis” will be delivered at Burlington City Hall. “We had 200 speakers here last year and none were involved in dow ntow n,” says vanderHeyden. “We’re taking ‘Rabbi Wall’ dow ntow n.” Sharing iff resources and events with the non-academic com munity, he believes, “enhances the college and it enhances life in the com m unity.” A further-reaching vanderHeyden vision is Burlington’s Lake Cham plain Basin Science Center at the waterfront. “I wanted to be involved since day one after I saw it,” he says. “We now have a join t venture with U V M . It’s
used for classroom s — such as for life drawing and other lessons — studios and a multim edia lecture hall that could serve as a small performance space. T he third will house BC A ’s administrative offices, reference and referral resources for all the arts, and even more exhibition space. O f course, new hom es will need to be found for the current tenants — the Church Street M arket place C om m ission and the city’s planning and zoning depart ment. Literally crowning the center, a studio-w ork room is proposed on the building’s partial fourth floor. T h ough ju st one-third the size o f the other floors, it does have huge windows with a view onto the park, Spengem ann notes. “I want to m ake that a sort o f artist-in-residence space, with bleachers — it w ould be
T T m
m im portant for us to be conspic uously involved with education projects.” In perhaps its m ost visible com m unity partnership to date, St. M ike’s has succeeded the M erchants Bank as corporate sponsor o f Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery. A nd vanderHeyden isn’t content to sim ply mail out the annual $ 1 5 ,0 0 0 check — he and D an a are likely to be seen at the openings, or checking out the artwork before a concert at the Flynn. In fact, the couple comes out for nearly every cultural event in town. - “It’s rare that you have underwriters and sponsors who really are supporting you be cause they’re passionate about what you’re doin g,” says B C A Executive D irector Doreen Kraft. “It’s delightful. It’s m ade a difference in terms o f quality o f involvement between the col lege and the gallery.” As som eone fervently devot ed to the arts himself, Firehouse Curator Pascal Spengem ann is equally pleased with the arrival o f St. M ichael’s and its presi dent. “M arc believes in art as a way o f expressing who you are as an organization or as a per son. H e says, ‘T h e last things we identify about a civilization are art and architecture,” ’ Spengem ann relates. “H e has nuanced ideas about how art fits into society as a whole, and I think that is very rare.”

ing, to St. M ichael’s. W ouldn’t it be better to keep the school’s resources on campus? “T hose are reasonable ques tions,” vanderHeyden concedes — but he has a ready reply. “All education is geared to making people better citizens,” he says. “You cannot make that clear if the college is not a good citizen. It’s im portant to m y position to make St. M ichael’s College a good institutional citizen — and I have 2 500 years o f intel lectual arguments to back m e.” You m ight not want to argue with someone who speaks three languages fluently and can “make do” in five more. I f any one was going to question vanderHeyden’s strategy, it m ight be the school’s board o f trustees, but Pat Robins, an eight-year m em ber and class o f ’61 alum, rejects that sugges tion. “I think M arc’s got a big
agenda there to push St. M ichael’s into the community, and the Firehouse is part o f that. There was no resistance there from the board.” Robins notes that in fact the Firehouse sponsorship “was not a m ajor initiative for a college with a $40 or $50 million budget.” Like his friend Joe Boutin, president o f the Merchants Bank — which sponsored the Firehouse for two years — Robins is on the St. M ichael’s board and that o f Burlington C ity Arts. Both strongly sup port the relationship between the college and the Firehouse, as well as the projected expan sion o f the gallery (see sidebar). Boutin has another reason to approve: His father, Bernard Boutin, was the first lay presi dent o f St. M ichael’s, 1969-74 — vanderHeyden is the fourth — and Joe graduated from the

college in 1969. H e joined the board last year. “It’s a good match with the Firehouse, given St. M ichael’s comm itm ent to the arts,” says Boutin, recalling some o f his own studies in art history under a gifted teacher and painter. “Oftentimes the artistic dim en sion o f an individual is not emphasized at many universities. T hough St. Michael’s has some very good disciplines, it has a healthy dose o f arts in the cur riculum. I really like the notion o f St. M ike’s futher integrating itself into the community.” A high public profile is fair ly unprecedented for St. M ichael’s College. Even its neighbors in surrounding W inooski and Colchester m ay not know m uch about the red brick enclave on Route 15 — other than, perhaps, its cham pi on hockey team, longstanding sum m er Playhouse, renowned rescue squad, and the fact that the school attracts a relatively large num ber o f foreign stu dents. Dozens o f nonprofits in the area certainly know and benefit from the school’s active volunteer program, in which some 1000 students participate.
specifically Spengem ann — for nurturing an art market in Burlington, which has histori cally not been strong enough to keep any galleries in business for long. Firehouse shows highquality work at reasonable prices, and introduces the nascent art market to local work, she believes, which is critical for developing audiences who may then also patronize commercial galleries and indi vidual artists. O ne such “developm ent” project developed by B C A is the First Friday Art Trolley, a free shuttle circulating art view ers to Burlington’s six dow n town galleries the first Friday o f each m onth — m aking gallery hopping a festive com m unity event.

But the first thing that got him interested in art —- especially public art — vanderHeyden believes, was the Bauhaus church right across the street from their hom e. “It was built two years before I was born and was the talk o f the land. It was so different from the medieval cathedrals,” he explains. “We were put on the defensive at times to defend it, even as youngsters.

eight. Like her husband, she has good taste. W ith degrees in philosophy and theology from Belgian schools, vanderHeyden came to Catholic University in W ash ington, D .C ., for a doctorate in medieval history. Following post-doctoral work in Tours, France, he returned to the U .S. and p u rsu ed ^ professional path that took him seamlessly from teaching to increasingly higher administrative positions at Rider College in N ew Jersey, C edar Crest College in Penn sylvania — where he m et his wife, then dean o f admissions — and M arist College in Poughkeepsie. By the time he was 35, vanderHeyden says, he had won a distinguished teaching award and become a dean, and everything “seemed to be falling into place too soon.” T hough he was happy at Cedar Crest, taking on the position o f vice president for academ ic affairs at M arist gave vander Heyden a new challenge. “Becom ing dean o f a w om ens college, m y eyes opened — it was a second education,” he says. “We worked hard with the faculty to rethink the way we were teaching history to include the scholarship o f w om en.” By the m id-’90s, the vanderHeydens were contem plating doing som ething com pletely different with their lives. “W ith no children, we were fairly free,” says M arc. “We loved Rhinebeck, but we thought I’d retire at 60; we were thinking Fulbrights, the Peace Corps. Then the head hunters came upon me to become the president o f St. M ichael’s College — and it really is a totally different jo b .” VanderHeyden recalls that his “courtship” caused both o f them to fall in love with St. M ichael’s, and Vermont. He moved to the graceful presi dent’s residence in the sum m er o f 1996, and im m ediately began a two-year intensive pro ject: talking to everyone on cam pus, and writing up what he learned. T h e best advice the board gave him was to not make any big decisions for at least six m onths. “It forced me to listen and listen and listen,” says vanderHeyden, leaning forward as he does when he wants to emphasize a point. He quickly becam e known and adm ired for that skill o f listen ing, as well as for inexhaustible patience and his com bination o f formal old-world manners and informal Am erican warmth. W hat the new president distilled was that the Edm undites’ original m ission for the school was the best one:
“For the next decade or two St. M ichaels will be a small liberal arts college in Vermont where academic excellence will be the prim ary target, but it will be carved out in a holistic way.” N oting that changing demographics — primarily the growing population o f older, non-traditional students on American cam puses — had lead m any schools to panic and “try to become mini-universi ties,” vanderHeyden says that wasn’t the best route for St. M ike’s. It should “not try to become, or compete with, U V M ,” he says. As a result, the college will gradually eliminate continuing-education options and will not focus on graduate programs. However, “when you want to become an excellent liberal arts college,” vanderHeyden cautions, “there’s always a dan ger that you become elitist, or exclude yourself from the com munity. You can only claim your own excellence if at the same time you are com m itted to the comm unity.” It’s a philosophy that has lead St. M ichael’s College straight down the artery o f Route 15 to the heart o f down town, where this college presi dent sees the future o f the com m unity in every bright eyed five-year-old learning to draw. T h at kind o f long-term thinking is uncom m on enough in his adopted country that nearly everyone chalks it up to vanderHeyden’s European sen sibility. “Art has a much longer history in Europe, and public art is everywhere,” posits Janie Cohen, curator o f the Flem ing M useum and a board m em ber o f Burlington C ity Arts. “You see children in m useums on their own in Europe, choosing to go there in their free tim e.” “I think m ost Americans get their love o f art in Europe,” Pat Robins adds. “Public art comes a little harder here, but I think we’ve m ade a lot o f progress in the last 20 years. It’s getting a lot better, a bigger part o f American life. T h at’s why this stu ff is so im portant here in Burlington.” But with the exception o f his very continental support o f public art, vanderHeyden downplays the influence o f nationality. “There are plenty o f Europeans who couldn’t care less about the things I care about,” he demurs. “We’ve had opportunities and we’ve taken advantage o f them .” Still, the lengthy history o f Europe — including art history — is sim ply not part o f the collective American conscious ness, and it could be that, as Pascal Spengem ann suggests, “we have a lot to learn from M arc vanderHeyden.” W hat is history, after all, but a long and lustrous tale o f individuals who made a difference? ®

V
ermont has had an 80year love affair with Robert Frost, dating from the poet’s purchase in 1920 o f a decrepit, maple-shad ed South Shaftsbury farmhouse with an abundant apple orchard. The state was quick to embrace this San Francisco native and New Hampshire transplant, naming him its offi cial poet laureate in 1922. Frost was 46 when he moved to Vermont, and many o f his best-known poems had already been written. Constantly on the prowl for new real estate and regularly “barding around” the United States to give poetry readings and receive academic honors, Frost never quite settled in Vermont. T hat rustic Ripton hideaway o f his was strictly for summertime use, although he eagerly returned to it each year from 1939 until his death in 1963. Frost may not have fully requited Vermont’s passion for him, but he did seem drawn as if by destiny to the state’s frosty hills. D uring one o f his fre quent house-hunting expedi tions, Frost explained to a friend that he was looking for a place where he could “live cheap and get Yankier and Yankier.” Succeeding in that aim — as in his larger quest for poetic greatness — Frost had a person ality well matched to that o f mid-century Vermont. His fierce self-reliance and love o f outdoors labor meant he would feel as much at home in the Green M ountains as his wan derlust would allow. But reading Jay Parini’s recently published Robert Frost: A Life, one wonders whether this “agrarian free thinker” would be quite so comfortable in the N ew Vermont. Very much a 19th-century figure, Frost didn’t fit into the m odernist and leftist literary world o f 1920s and ’30s America. And neither did the O ld Vermont, a traditionencrusted Republican redoubt far out o f touch with political and intellectual fashions. M ost contemporary Vermonters would no doubt cringe, along with Parini, at Frost’s occasionally racist or
anti-Semitic remarks and his hom ophobic attitudes. As a self-described “lone striker” attentive to nature’s subtlest sig nals, Frost w ould surely recoil at the N ew Vermont’s resem blance to the rest o f America, in both its suburban and chic incarnations. The poet’s politics, however, are not the point o f Parini’s fine biography. Its focus — rightly and rewardingly — is on the poetry. The greatest strength o f this latest entry in the Frost file is Parini’s ability to give even the m ost familiar works a fresh and accessibly erudite reading. It helps that the biographer is a poet himself. Readers are also entertained, as well as educated, in the course o f these 500 pages due to Parini’s relish for a work that’s been in progress for 25 years. T he M iddlebury English professor and widely published writer tells us in his preface that Frost’s life story was “one o f the few books I ever finished with deep reluctance.” W hat Vermont-based literary scholar w ouldn’t be delighted to delve into an oeuvre that consistently hits so close to home?
As Parini persuasively reaf firms, it’s no exaggeration to rank Robert Frost as one o f the past century’s m ost gifted and moving poets o f the English language. Frost’s genius, shared by a few o f his peers in other m edium s, resided in adopting traditional forms to his distinc tive sensibility. Like George Balanchine in the world o f dance and Andrew Wyeth am ong American painters, Frost was a classicist deeply respectful o f what had gone before him, yet able to make that legacy look or sound utterly original and entirely his own. Parini describes Frost as a poet “highly conscious o f the forms, and one who found his freedom within the limits o f those form s.” T h at’s especially evident in the epigram m atic style o f “Fire and Ice,” whose rhymes, Parini observes, are laced “as tightly as a boot.” Some say the world w ill end in fire, Some say in ice. From w hat Vve tasted o f desire I hold with those who favo r fire. B u t i f it h ad to perish twice, I think I know enough o f hate To say that fo r destruction ice
A nd w ould suffice. M uch can be read into this relatively early poem (1912) in regard to Frost’s tem peram ent. H is use o f the first person cer tainly lures readers in that direction. A nd given what his many biographers, Parini am ong them, have revealed about the poet’s em otionally turbulent and often tragic life circumstances, it’s easy to see Frost’s soul as com posed o f equal measures ice and fire, hate and desire. From his father, a journalist consum ed by tuberculosis at age 34, Frost inherited a “feral drive” to m ake som ething im portant o f himself, Parini recounts. Robert’s religious mother, Belle, was a prim ary source o f the mysticism that infuses some o f his imagery,
unconventional, teacher to his hom e-schooled children. Parini’s Frost is an admirable, even heroic “poet-assurvivor.” Beset by psychologi cal dem ons and battered by bouts o f philosophical despair, Frost fought back through his poetry, which he m emorably described as “a m om entary stay against confusion.” Parini sim i larly marvels at each m ajor work — “H om e Burial,” for example, or “Design” — as “a feat o f rescued sanity.” The author is not always so lissome in his phrasings. Especially in the opening chap ters, Parini’s writing lazes on the page. H e calls our attention to “the writing on the wall,” informs us that Frost passed an exam “with flying colors,” and was feeling “on top o f the w orld.” Usually, though, readers are enabled to glide, not plod. Parini appears almost entirely immune to the stylistic m alady known as “scholarly prose.” T he biographer’s preferences are clearly the same as his subject’s: “I don’t like obscuri ty in poetry,” Frost once observed in typically plainspoken fashion. “I don’t think a thing has to be obvious before it is said, but it ought to be obvious when it is said.” O f course, the poet didn’t necessarily adhere to his own standard. The more Frost’s poem s are explored, the less obvious they become. A surface which initially seemed so transparent often turns out to be just the topm ost o f many layers. T h at’s the challenge — and the charm — o f Frost’s work, ju st as the m an’s innumerable contradictions make him so endlessly interesting. By inven tively re-examining that com plex personality as well as the poetry it produced, Parini has more than justified his weighty addition to the already-sagging shelf o f Frost biographies. T his is a life story that will last, precisely because Frost is depicted here as a recognizable hum an being. In aspiring to write a biography that puts in place “a fresh mythos” o f Frost, Parini m ay have been inspired by his m odel’s own “inflexible am bition.” N ot m any writers have m anaged, as Frost indu bitably did, to “lodge a few poem s where they can’t be got ten rid o f easily.” ®

Reminiscences: Denali, Matterhorn, Everest Brad's pioneering work in aerial photography focused on mapmaking although today his photos are regarded as works of art. His photo graphic and geographical skills have culminated in his beautiful, and definitive maps of Mt. McKinley, the Grand Canyon, the Presidential Range, and Mt. Everest. Brad became the youngest m useum director in the country when he was selected to direct Boston's M useum of Natural History in 1939. His 41 years as director (1939-80) were focused primarily on the founding and building of the current Museum of Science into one of the nation's leading museums, som ething which he regards as his greatest ac complishment.

Parini’s biography is partly intended as a share correc tive to Lawrence
ous multi-volume l ■portrait of the artist as a crazed v onster although Frost always dem ar cated spirituality from orga nized worship, which, he noted, was “never m y taste.” T h e son may also have acquired from the m other a touch o f the “ incipient insanity” the adult Frost recalled perceiving in Belle. T he lives o f the children he him self w ould father were gen erally brief, unhappy or both. A son com m itted suicide, two daughters experienced failed marriages, and alm ost all the Frost offspring remained deeply dependent on their parents well into their own adult lives. But Parini’s biography is partly intended as a sharp cor rective to Lawrence T h om pson ’s notorious m ulti-volum e por trait o f the artist as a crazed monster. Frost “struggled throughout his long life with depression, anxiety, self-doubt and confusion,” and som etim es “behaved horribly,” Parini acknowledges.

It’s time to head for higher, snow-covered ground. “You tell som ebody you’re going to go ride for three hours on snowmobile trails and they’ll say, ‘W hat, are you stupid?” ’ says Bum beck about the unher alded sport o f winter cross country m ountain biking. “But it’s not that stupid, you can do it comfortably down to about 10 degrees.” For Bum beck and a small cadre o f others who’ve never lost their childish fascination with two-wheelers, each season is sim ply a different play ground.

keep an ear open for speedy snowmobilers. “ I f you hear them com ing,' just get o ff the trail into the woods, maybe even hide,
e them a ountain bike, d booties and owpacked I, and they’re happy as Greg LeMond on the Champs Elysees. calmer than that — with brief interludes o f excitem ent,” assured the 28-year-old rider. I, being a little older, was under the im pression that we were put on Earth to glide gracefully over snow on skis or, for a little excitement, to tear across the tundra on a 100horsepower snow machine. In my experience, bike tires don’t glide all that well, and I know I lack the power o f a Ski-D oo. But in winter m ountain bik
ing, as in love and life, tim ing is everything. H it the trails when the snow and air temperatures are right, Bum beck insists, and winter m ountain biking rivals a powder day in the mountains. “ Prime conditions are early in the m orning following a warm day and a cold night where everything refreezes and is hard-packed,” Bum beck instructs. “In other words, bad skiing conditions are good rid ing conditions.”
O u t on an intensely sunny m orning better suited to riding boards than bikes, Bumbeck and I head o ff down a wellworn trail that’s probably part o f the Vermont Association o f Snow Travelers (VAST) net work. Zealously following the old sled tracks to avoid getting sucked in and slam-dunked by the soft snow, we break a sweat trying to keep our tires rolling. Pausing briefly in a small fir stand, Bum beck cautions me to
because I don’t even know if you’re supposed to be doing it,” the usually upstanding Bum beck confides. In fact, some land owners only grant permission for snowmobile use, V A ST Executive Director Bryant W atson cautions me later. W inter bike riders, he suggests, should check with local chapters for membership and trail use information. M ost days, however, snow mobilers are the least o f your
W ^ . the the downhills get a little t o o / fast and turns become barely / controlled slides. Leisurely con versation, meanwhile, gives way to desperate prayers that snowencrusted brakes will somehow function on wet rims. “T h at’s one o f the draw backs,” Bum beck deadpans. “Your brakes freeze...Wear a helmet, you only get one pota to ,” he adds wryly. O n the bright side, if you can stay on your bike, the w orkout and scenery o f the trail stands in stark contrast to the stale air and celluloid m onoto ny o f indoor riding. “W indtrainers, the evil word!” spits out Bum beck, a former com petitive road racer who first took to the snowy trails for relief from the training device. “It’s indoors, it’s no fun and, personally, I was sick o f watch ing the Tour de France on tape. As we pop out o f the trail and hit the pavement to loop back hom e, spring is in the air, and I can’t help but think how m uch fun it is to be outdoors spinning m y wheels. But more than that, I’ve gained a new perspective on the seasons and the sport o f cycling: Warm weather rides, it seems, are real ly ju st training for next winter’s m ountain biking season. ®

T he University o f Verm ont’s recent staging o f D eath o f a Salesm an was true to Arthur M iller’s 50-year-old script — with one exception. Som e noticed the revision, som e did not. But for one student actor, the risk o f it has left an indeli ble impression. In a scene late in the play, the sons o f antihero W illy Lom an, H ap and Biff, pick up
a couple o f ladies in a steakhouse. Evidently H ap is good at this sort o f thing, because with a few choice words he turns M iss Forsythe, sitting all by her lonesom e, into a table for four — H ap, Biff, M iss Forsythe and her cousin Letta. W hat happened next isn’t in any copy o f the play you’ll find in a bookstore. M iss Forsythe spoke with Letta in American Sign Language, Letta signed back and M iss Forsythe voiced the lines. According to director Dede Corvinus, m aking Letta’s char acter d e af does inject a touch o f anachronism into the play, though mainly in the other characters’ response — or lack o f response — to her. Surely
H ap, who in an earlier scene refers to one o f his conquests as a “pig,” w ould’ve made some snide comm ent, like “Hey, what’s with the deaf broad?” But for Corvinus, the risk was worth the benefit: being able to cast sophom ore Keri M ac Farlane as Letta. H ailing from Portland, M aine, MacFarlane is one o f only a few deaf students at U V M , where she is m ajoring in Early Childhood Education. O utside her coursework and time spent m entoring d eaf stu

dents in area schools, she has been in one other U V M play, The Toys Take Over Christmas, in 1997. Prior to entering col lege, MacFarlane perform ed extensively in theater and dance productions at the M odel Secondary School for the D e a f in W ashington, D .C . W hen the M SS D perform ing arts pro gram was cut her senior year, she landed a part in a produc tion at nearby G alludet University, the nation’s only lib eral arts college for the deaf. Although she was recruited
by G alludet, M acFarlane sought the smalltown feel and outdoorsy ethos o f Burlington. U V M ’s academ ic reputation was also a big factor. A t M S S D she enhanced her education by attending additional classes at neighboring G onzaga College H igh School, an otherwise all male private school. A t U V M , the challenges continue, partic ularly in the D epartm ent o f Theater, where parts are not easy to get. For Corvinus, casting M acFarlane came down, as it

usually does, to the actor’s audi - effort paid o ff the night a deaf tion. “She personalizes very friend o f MacFarlane’s attended strongly,” Corvinus says o f the show and m istook M acFarlane’s ability to play to M cC arthy for a trained inter her character first, to the audi preter. “Im agine his surprise ence second. “T h at was what when I told him that the only impressed me with her audi signs she knew were the signs tion.” she used in the play,” Then there was the matter M acFarlane remarks. o f the adaptability o f the part, a U V M D epartm ent o f choice that brought a m odern Theater chair M artin Thaler sensibility to the well-worn hopes that M acFarlane’s contri
script. “You consider any actor for any role unless there’s a rea son that you couldn’t,” Corvinus explains. “It seemed to me that the character o f Letta could be deaf. Given that she was with a friend, it was very easy to work it sim ply the way it w ould in real life.” Corinn M cCarthy’s M iss Forsythe thus became a bigger part, since the actor had to learn enough sign language to play the scene. T he script also grew; lines that the wom en exchange sotto voce had to be scripted, since they could still be read by d eaf audience m em bers. Corvinus is pleased with the result. “I think, watching her performance it’s clear [MacFarlane] has as strong a presence on the stage as any o f the other student actors,” she says. “ I was very pleased with the scene.” M acFarlane praises M cCarthy’s hard work in per fecting her signing lines. The
bution to Salesm an was felt beyond the cast and crew. “We’re not ju st teaching our students,” he says. “We’re teaching our audience. T he the ater is didactic in nature...w e need to point out things in the com m unity where we live that people m ight not otherwise have the opportunity to see.” N o t everyone was impressed. M acFarlane relates an incident during one perfor mance when som e d eaf friends were openly m ocked by a group o f students m im icking their signing. “I felt really hurt,” she says. “M y friends were really pissed off. I’ve had those inci dents happen all the time grow ing up, so I’m used to it now, although it hurts whenT see som ething like that, not only towards d e af people but towards people o f another minority.” T h ough M acFarlane says she has not experienced dis crim ination at U V M , she is
hardly naive about what pursu ing an acting career would entail, particularly in the T V and film industries, where hear ing actors are usually cast in deaf roles. She can count the deaf actors she knows o f on one hand: Marlee M atlin, the breakout star o f Children o f a Lesser God, Anthony Natale, who played the deaf son in Mr. H olland's Opus; Howie Seago, a guest actor on “Star Trek: The N ext Generation” and the actress known as Terrylene. In addition to appearing in N atu ral Born Killers and T V ’s “Beauty an d the Beast, ” Terrylen6 can currently be seen signing to her son in a T V commercial for Oreo cookies. Although M acFarlane was directed by Terrylene at M SS D — a boon to the student’s act ing and signing skills — the experience didn’t convince her to follow the same career path. “I’m the kind o f person who doesn’t like to not know what is going to happen within the next few weeks,” she says, “so I wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure o f not knowing and barely getting by.” MacFarlane intends to keep acting, both at U V M and in the community, but her profes sional horizon includes a bid for a psychology doctorate and a long-range aim to start a the ater group for d eaf children. I f Thaler’s assessment o f her dram atist’s disposition is accu rate, her future looks bright. “W hile you have to acknowl edge a difference,” he says, “at her deepest core, she is really no different. In the long run, the work gets done.” MacFarlane puts it more bluntly: “D e a f people can do anything except hear.” ®

are a little more visible these days. Vocalist/guitarist Jesse S arg ent reports the band got an offer o f a “demo deal” from Atlanta-based Capricorn Records. “T h at means a guy there heard our disc and liked it,” he says. “In order to con vince the rest o f the com pany to give us a deal he gives us $ 4 000 to make a new dem o.” N o pressure or anything — the guy ju st wants them to come up with a radio hit. The Jets are planning to produce four new songs, m ost likely under the steady, if heavy, hand o f C anadian studio whiz Glen Robinson. Meanwhile, Capricorn’s interest has caused some other A & R types to com e sniffing around, so we’ll see. G o show your support for the guys before they leave our lit tle corner o f the Jet stream — opening for Ben S w ift Bend this T hursday at Em erald City, and at M etronom e Saturday.

DAVID WILCOX, UNDERNEATH (Vanguard, CD) — The first thing you notice about singer-songwriter David Wilcox is how much his voice sounds like James Taylors. I must confess to a certain guilty pleasure from the music of saccharine Baby James’ 7 0 s folk-pop prime, and Underneath, Wilcox’s latest record, is better than anything Taylors done since. Immaculately recorded in Nashville with producer Steve Buckingham and a lengthy ros ter of supporting musicians — including Alison Krauss and Sonny Landreth — Underneath is a consistently positive, pleas ant record. In his bio, the Ashville, North Carolina-based Wilcox cites a Woody Guthrie quote, that “a song can’t just be good, it has to be good for something." Not surprisingly, Wilcox’s power and poetry pale in comparison to Guthrie’s, but youve got to respect his high-minded ■ ....... '***1®^ goals. Wilcox is a —■■lias fine finger-pickin’ * *3 8 n§ j|jp acoustic guitarist, too, and often uti «£ " , ■" lizes interesting yet unobtrusive D A V ID W I L C O X K in d e rn e jitli alternate tunings — like his influ f :% . ence, Joni Mitchell, but without the jazz flavors. I really • - '' *^'-r like the title track, which acknowl edges cynical despair as a natural reaction to the modern world while subtly urging resistance to that easy out. The bluesy “Hometown” skewers the worst-of-both-worlds compromise that is the suburbs. Other highlights include “Never Enough,” a description of consumerist dissatisfaction with a nice groove, and the heavier “Guilty Either Way,” about the frustration of having a self-abusing friend. On the downside, I half expected an eagle scream to punctuate the unfortunate new agey worldbeat-off, “Spirit Wind,” and a successful analogy between “Sex and Music” is marred by a too-big beat and pseudo-rapping. Seems like a lot of Wilcox’s songs can be boiled down to simple truths, and I’m torn between liking that directness and wishing for a little more complexity. I’ll remember Underneath more for Wilcox’s warmth and wisdom than memorable tunes. But what good are hooks without hope? Wilcox appears at Metronome this Thursday. — Paul Gibson YURI YUNAK0V, BALADA, BULGARIAN WEDDING MUSIC
(Traditional Crossroads, CD) — Bulgarian Wedding Music is an extraordinary phenomenon. This wild, skirling, oriental sound emerged around 30 years ago from the clash of the blandly oppressive Bulgarian communist regime and the exuberant cul ture of the Rom — Bulgaria’s Turkish-speaking Gypsies. It’s an amalgam of Slavic dance forms and influences picked up by the Rom in their centuries-long wanderings from India through the Middle East, Turkey and Greece, topped off with Western instru ments and dashes of jazz and funk. Wedding music is designed to set the blood on fire. The communists were shaken up enough to imprison sax mae stro Yuri Yunakov twice, but ironically Balada - Bulgarian Wrdchrg Mus e he finally left Bulgaria for New York to escape the economic collapse after democracy tri umphed in 1989. On his current u ^ CD , Balada, Yunakov’s six-piece band features accordion, in the hands of the mas terly Neshko Neshev, clarinet, dumbek and synthesizer. Although the basic forms are traditional — mainly dances from Thrace and Macedonia — the tones and treatments are not. Yunakov plays the saxophone like a man possessed, giving it all the flourishes and quarter-tone embellishments of Turkish melody but injecting subtle jazz undercurrents, hints of Charlie Parker and Benny Carter. The band swings and stomps, and the vocals — by the surprisingly non-Rom Lauren Brody and Carol Silverman — have the kind of yearning bite familiar to lovers of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares. The one flaw is the ever-present synthesizer, which drones out the bass melody in annoyingly ’80s tones, as if A Flock o f Seagulls had blundered into the wedding party. But there’s so much else going on that it’s easy to tune out the intru sion. Balada is a great introduction to a unique sound, and will whet your appetite for Yunakov’s upcoming appearance at the Flynn next Wednesday, as part of “The Gypsy Caravan.” Also on the bill are bands from India, Hungary and Romania, and the evening promises to rock your gypsy soul in ways Van the Man only dreamed about. — Pip Vaughan-Hughes

DYSFUNKSHUN AND SUPER SPIES, 242 MAIN, BURLINGTON, MARCH 20: To say that this place is new and improved is an understatement, and this Saturday night offered some of the new and the not-so-new of the local scene. Super Spies, a brand spankin’ ska-driven ensemble of Burlington High School students, had the kids skankin’ along to their theme song, and also “ The Cat Song” with lots of “ meows” (think Meow Mix commercial). Old-school stalwarts DysFunkShun then stirred it up with their potent mix of funky hip-hop reggae rock that fea tured a new drummer and guest appearance by Fattie of Belizbeha.

W hen
By Marialisa Calta t was January 1994 when everyone I knew in central Vermont started going out to dinner. That was the month Sarducci’s opened in downtown Montpelier, and it was instant ly anointed by locals as the hot restaurant in town. Apparently, everyone in the area had been dying for Italian food, and it was business part ners Dorothy Korshak and Carol Paquette who figured it out. Korshak, a tall, slim woman with swingy blonde hair, had been a partner at Julio’s, the Mexican restaurant just a block down Main Street. Paquette had been a waitress there. “We saw people waiting an hour to eat at Julio’s,” Korshak said in a recent interview. “We
I
knew that this town was dying for a new place.” When the old warehouse that had been Great American Salvage became avail able, the two made the plunge, plucking the name from the old m “Saturday Night Live” character, Guido Sarducci. By the time my husband and I made our first pilgrimage — probably a month after it opened — the restaurant was already hopping, and the sound o f conversation had reached the shouting level that has been a hallmark o f the Sarducci’s din ing experience ever since. It’s worth the shouting. Over the years, Sarducci’s has proved to be one o f the liveliest and most reliable places around. The food is consistent ly good, the service quick and competent, and the prices rea
sonable. If you live nearby, you are sure to see people you know there. And I don’t mean just the legislators — especially Democrats — who make the restaurant a second home dur ing the legislative season, but all manner o f folks. How’d Korshak and Paquette do it? The first step was “tons o f research,” Korshak says. She and Paquette spent weeks in New York and Boston, visiting and dining at Italian restaurants, collecting menus, quizzing restaurateurs and chefs on their best-selling dishes. They also took notes on decor, and certainly succeeded there as well. Sarducci’s is a warm, open space with walls the color o f butternut squash, columns painted to resemble marble, woodwork that has been “mahoganized.” At the other end o f a long, beckoning
waitstaff that seems to include only amazingly competent, lithe, buffed young persons, who glide from table to table without ever forgetting an order or missing a beat. The fourth step is perhaps the hardest to describe, but it involved creating a welcoming atmosphere for a diverse crowd, including children. “We really wanted this to be a place where everyone would feel comfortable,” says Korshak. The menu — Italian with a northern accent — is diverse enough to maintain the interest o f the folks who eat there sev eral times a week, but not so large as to intimidate or con fuse. You can’t beat the hot slices o f bread from II Fornaio, served with garlic and olive oil, that kick off every meal. First courses include
the “penne Pugliese,” with mushrooms, spinach, black olives, roasted eggplant, sundried tomatoes and garlic, offers a harmonious blend o f flavors and an addictive, com fort-food feel. Entries ($8.95 to $14.95, served with a house salad) include several chicken prepa rations (Parmigiana, cacciatore and marsala), a roasted veg etable platter, wood-roasted salmon with lemon, artichokes, red peppers and capers served with risotto, and grilled steak with garlic mashed potatoes. The lunch menu includes the appetizers, salad, pizza and pasta offerings, as well as a selection o f “panini” — grilled sandwiches o f Italian sausage, or salmon or roasted chicken. Desserts ($2.50 to $3.50) include tiramisu, caramel fudge cake, biscotti and Ben & Jerry’s
If you live nearby, you are sure to see people you know there. And I don’t mean just the legislators. . . art deco bar sits a round woodfired oven visible to diners. The next step was to hire chefs trained by the New England Culinary Institute — also just a short hop down Main Street. “Without N ECI, we certainly wouldn’t have been able to maintain such a high caliber o f talent in the kitchen,” says Korshak. Currendy, N EC I graduate Chris Veatch is the executive chef. The third step was to hire a
steamed mussels or clams in garlic tomato broth ($5.95), fried calamari ($5.50), and a plate o f grilled vegetables, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, caponata, cheese and bruschetta ($6.95). Salads include a mozzarella and tomato salad ($4.95) a grilled portobello salad with gorgonzola and walnuts ($4.95) and — my personal favorite — a spinach salad with toasted pine nuts, goat cheese and pancetta ($5.95). Pizzas, thin-crusted and smoky from the wood-fired oven, start at $6.95 and, though meant for a single serving, are generous in size. My favorites include the “Florentine” (spinach roast garlic, basil and mozzarella), the “Al Fresco” (white pizza with sliced tomatoes, basil, artichoke hearts and roasted garlic), and the “Broccoletti” (portobellos, broccoli, caramelized onions and roasted garlic). The pasta menu includes 18 regular selections. Prices start at $6.95 for a plate o f spaghetti marinara, and range up to $12.95 for the linguine with scallops, clams, mussels and shrimp. The fettuccine al polio — smoked chicken breast, broccoli, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes in a light cream sauce — is one o f the best-selling dishes, according to Korshak. I found their puttanesca sauce — tomatoes, basil, capers, black olives and anchovies — on the wimpy side, but
ice cream. My daughter swears by the cheesecake. The children’s menu — for kids under 12 — comprises three dishes, all priced at $3.95 ($1 less at lunch): a cheese or pepperoni pizza, a plate o f spaghetti or ravioli with mari nara or meat sauce, and fettuc cine Alfredo. It was the kids’ menu that first endeared me to Sarducci’s. Here was a place that my chil dren a) were welcome, b) liked the food, and c) could eat inex pensively while my husband and I enjoyed a plate o f some thing tasty and a glass o f wine. One o f my daughters had her birthday party at Sarducci’s when she turned seven — our only rule was that everyone had to try the squid. The owners didn’t even mind when we brought in our own dessert. Should you decide to go, I have a few tips gleaned over the years. If you or your dinner partners don’t like noisy restau rants, go early, between 5 and 6 p.m., or go for lunch. Or, if the deck is open, eat outside, over looking the Winooski River. The restaurant does not take reservations except for par ties o f eight or larger, but you can call — at least an hour before you plan to arrive is best — and put your name down for a table. Otherwise you risk a long wait. After all, everyone who’s anyone in central Vermont will be there — including, quite likely, your legislators. (Z)

F
or the past decade, a diverse band o f central Vermont artists has been discussing aesthetic issues, while breaking bread together, on a bimonthly basis. They have debated the role o f politi cal art in history and exchanged ideas about color. They have crossed artistic dis ciplines and shared common experiences. The fruit of these meetings is now on display at Montpelier’s Wood Gallery, in “Fifteen Artists: Ten Years of Dialogue,” and their gathered works — ranging from instal lations to constructions and paintings to poetry — are usually as candid and wellinformed as their collegial con versations must have been. In a style reminiscent of T ’ang poet Han-shan, the cal ligraphy of David Budbill’s “Advice to Writers” teaches,
paintings. The subjects in “Two Figures in the Corn Garden” are women close to the soil, not unlike Millet’s gleaners. But there is a psycho logical difference: Millet’s stooping figures were seeking shreds o f sustenance, while Rabin’s Vermont gardeners are probably planting seeds. This warm composition curves toward the right in broad bands o f brown, and the standing figure on the left has a strong and robust posture. Both women, dressed in white
composition invoke memories o f Picasso’s rose period, but, as in the Millet reference, there is no melancholy here. Rabin is able to adapt elements from art history without becoming imi tative. Lucien Day seems naively disconnected from historical sources at first glance, but the tingling squiggles and sputter ing splotches o f his brushwork actual deliver a remarkable brand o f pointillism onto the canvas. His two small oils, “North o f Mt. Morris, Fall”

Budbill’s wife and collabo rating artist Lois Eby added a predictable sumi-like pigeon under the script for an image, but when unencumbered by Orientalism, her solo work is much more creative. Eby’s steadfastly abstract “Incantation” series combines the loopy playfulness o f Joan Miro with Kandinsky-like stac cato markings and variations o f chromatic intensity, making the approach completely her own. Eby’s focus is on varia tions within primary hues and nuances within their comple ments. As in most of the abstractions here, the acrylicon-canvas “Incantation IV” compels raw colors o f equal value — medium and light yellows, cobalt blue and ultramarine, cooler crimson and hotter red — to dance within

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ANNOYS OWNER Dear Tom and Ray, I have a ’9 5 Toyota Carolla. Despite having bought new tires ana having several wheel align ments, I still get a sawtooth-shaped tire wear pattern. Each little nub o f rubber on the tire becomes individ ually slanted, like the teeth on a cir cular-saw blade. After about ± 10,000 miles, the road noise becomes an annoying whine, and the steering wheel shimmies. When I have the alignment checked they say it's completely within spec, ana they don't see any signs o f damage. I don't drive the car in any unusual ways. Why is this happening? . — Elaine
sure the alignment is correct, ask your mechanic to check your shocks, and if they're worn, replace them. And if your tires cost less than your monthly cable T V bill, get a good set and start over again.
TO M : If you trust the guy who checked th<e alignment and the car has not been in an accident, then several possibilities come to mind, Elaine. One is that you're buying the cheapest possible tires known to man. Really cheap tires wear quickly and in funny ways, so if you've been buying the $29.95 tires at Tires R Us, that may be why you're having continual problems. roblei RAY: The other possibility is that your shocks are worn out. If you shocks aren’t doing their job (keeping the tires from bouncing o ff the road), that constant bouncing will scuff the tires and you'll end up with unusual wear patterns. T O M : And o f course, both o f these could be true. So if you're

Dear Cecil, What does ‘‘pop goes the weasel” mean? — Birdaire, via AOL Who knows? It’s basically a folk song and nursery rhyme that later saw service as a music-hall ditty. It’s tough enough deciphering rock lyrics written in 1975; what do you expect with a tune going back to the 17th century? But Straight Dope curator o f music Tom Miller said he’d give it his best shot. Tom collected two dozen versions o f “Pop Goes the Weasel” from both sides o f the Atlantic. Many were similar, with one key difference: In North America, the opening line was generally “all around the mulberry bush,” possibly due to conflation with the similar tune

“Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.” In the UK, however, it was usually “all around the cobblers bench.” This gives us a better idea o f the song’s original meaning. Most authorities think “Pop Goes the Weasel” describes the acts o f weaving, spinning and sewing. A weasel, Tom reports, was a mechanism used by tailors, cobblers and hatters that “popped” when the spool was full of thread. Some argue that to pop the weasel is also cockney slang meaning to pawn one’s coat. This makes sense in light of the second verse o f the kids’ version: “A penny for a spool o f thread/A penny for a needle/That’s the way the money goes,” etc. A version popular in 19thcentury English music halls makes things even clearer: “Up and down the City Road/In and out the Eagle/That’s the way the money goes,” etc. The Eagle in question was a London tavern; clearly the lyricist was describing the consequences o f spending too little time at the cobblers bench and too much at the bar.
Cecil, Among localMensa members, lam acknowledged as a triviameister. In working with the local civic theater, I provide props o f every description. I have, however, been stumped by a prop described only as “a cholera belt. ” I have consulted all the usual sources — Gray’s Anatomy, Britannica, Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, Will Durant’s The Story of Civilization, Comics Buyer’s Guide, and the collected Playboy philosophy by Hugh Hefner — all to no avail.

thought the cholera belt was a geographic region, like the Rust Belt. I can’t believe I keep this guy on the pay roll. The cholera belt was an article of clothing com monly worn as a preventative measure by British sol diers serving in India, where cholera was endemic. Basically a waistband or cummerbund made o f flannel or silk, the belt was supposed to keep away the cold and damp, the theory being that a chilled abdomen would lead to cholera, dysentery, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal ailments. Hoc tors realized fairly early on that cholera had little to do with cold and damp and was in fact caused by fecal bacteria in drinking water. But military inertia being what it was, use o f the belt persisted until after World War II.
Dear Cecil, What is the meaning o f the “CE” symbolfound on many consumer products these days? — Miles Reese, Eugene, Oregon It’s officially called the “C E marking,” and it means that the product complies with the international tech nical and safety standards issued by the European Union, previously known as the European Community (hence CE). The standards govern things like toy safe ty, telecommunications terminals, electrical equipment, scales, etc., where you want to enforce a certain unifor mity. The standards are narrowly drawn, and the C E marking can’t be considered a mark o f overall quality, though that may change in time. The marking thing is part o f a broad effort to lower trade barriers between EU nations, in effect creating a huge domestic market like the one that’s been such a boon for U.S. manufac turers. (7) T

April 1 - 7____
C
ARIES Mar. 21-Apr. 19): According to a Department o f Labor directory, my job as an astrologer is in the same category as acrobats, jugglers, stuntpersons and rodeo per formers. From this I conclude that the world considers me no more than an entertaining buffoon, a pleasantly diverting go ofball— not the sly, articulate oracle I imagine myself to be. And I simply won’t stand for such an affront to my self-image. No one treats me like that! N o one! In fact, I quit! Find yourself another genius to take for granted. APRIL FO O L! I don’t care what anyone thinks o f me; I’m perfectly happy with my gig. But by indulging in my little tantrum, I was hoping to incite you to demand more respect from the people who misperceive you. It’s high time for you to make sure you’re seen for who you really are. TAURUS Apr. 20-May 20): Why did you sell fire at a discount in the vacant lot? What were you thinking when you slipped the plas tic spiders into the millennium’s - soggy breakfast? And can’t you please try harder not to step on your head’s shadow? APRIL FO O L! I hope you didn’t take seriously what you just read, because it was nonsense gener ated by automatic writing. Or was it? You can’t really be sure, can you? Maybe it was a Zen koan, in which case you’d better push harder to read between the lines. (Notice the way I’m messing with your head here, Taurus? Get used to it. The cosmos will be doing the exact same thing this week.) GEMINI May 21 -June 20): “Say you’re shaking hands with Barbra Streisand,” advises In Style magazine writer Louise Lague, “and she pulls you in for the kiss. Bob immediately to your left. Press your right cheek against hers, making a small smooching noise. Under no circum stances do the lips touch the cheek, an encounter that might result in a makeup smear.” I heartily agree with
this approach, Gemini, and exhort you to devote the same exacting attention to proper form in every one o f your upcoming social encounters. APRIL FO O L! This ain’t no time for kowtowing to every little candy-ass rule o f decorum! Schmooze with careless flair! Dare to be outrageous! Network like a drunk ventriloquist at a convention o f clowns.
CANCER (June 21 -July 22): Maori warriors and a Flopi medicine man have blessed the advice con tained in this horoscope. The high priestess o f a pagan coven has prayed that it will generate nothing but karmically clean effects, and a descendent of Edgar Cayce has had a dream confirming the truth o f its revelations. With a pedigree like that, you sure as hell better do exact ly what the oracle says. APRIL FO O L! I was just testing you to see whether you’ve learned to question ^//authorities, not just the ones that are so easy to distrust, like politicians and C EO s and journalists. In fact, it’s the very experts you love and trust that need your skepticism most. This is especially crucial now that you’re on the verge o f locating the power spot you’ve been edging towards for months. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I fear you will be seized by bizarre urges this week, like the desire to plunge butcher knives into accordions, for instance, or to hijack a U FO and abduct some aliens, or to sell celebri ty sperm on the home shopping channel, or even — God forbid — to contribute money to the Christian Coalition. Please be very wary o f these and other dark inklings bubbling up from your sub conscious depths. APRIL FO O L! I’m not worried in the least about
*
y
a
encouraging you to unleash your fantasies; I firmly believe they’ll lead you to health and happiness. The nasty examples I mentioned would erupt only if you tried to suppress the gorgeous manias that’ll be cours ing through you.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Reincarnation?! Ha! Reincarnation is a flaky notion drummed up by New Age hucksters who’re intent on hawking their lame-brained books to gullible airheads who’re desperately seeking consolation in the face of their dread of aging. Don’t even think o f allowing such a cracked notion to affect your philosophy o f life, Virgo. APRIL FO O L! In truth, reincarnation is a venerable doctrine in a spiritual tradition that goes back 5000 years, and currently has well over a billion adherents around the world. It would be a worthy addi tion to your belief system, especially now that the fates are conspiring to give you a glimpse of the ancient origins o f your life’s patterns.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your life this week will have much in common with the story o f the mute, wheelchair-bound princess who inherited the war-torn crown of Slavonia when her father died dur ing rough sex with her stepmother, the evil queen Katarina, a terribly ambitious former prostitute. APRIL FO O L! In actual fact, Libra, you will experience a dramatically unpathological series o f boringly healthy events, culminating in a mature synthesis o f love and lust. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your behavior embarrasses me. I can’t understand why anyone would give you anything. You have incur able addictive tendencies which will always sabotage everything you do.
Don’t attempt to change, for it is hopeless. APRIL FO O L! None of the above is even remotely true. By exposing you to such obviously stu pid venom, though, I hope to immunize you against the ignorant criticism you may face from other people in the coming weeks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You need and deserve more erotic delight, Sagittarius, and the best way to do it is to convert to Catholicism. Surprised? Don’t be. In his book Sex: The Catholic Experience, Andrew Greeley provides ample evidence that Catholics have more and better sex than Jews and Protestants. Sixty-four percent o f all Catholic women rank high on the “sexual playfulness” scale, for instance, as opposed to just 42 per cent o f Protestant women. So get your rosary today, Sagittarius, and let the new era in lavish loving begin. APRIL FO O L! The stars say you’ll experience a radical upturn in your erotic fortunes no matter what religion you are. So lie down and let divine nature have its way with you! CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Were you treated to Mozart recordings while in utero? Breastfed till age three, never spanked, raised in a TV-free environment, and sup plied with non-plastic toys that stim ulated your creative imagination? If so, the security you had wired into your circuits at a tender age will see you through this week’s challenges. But if not, you’re in for a major infantile regression. APRIL FO O L! In fact, no matter how you were raised, this is the beginning o f a charmed time when you’ll have the power to undo curses that were cast on you during your first 12 years o f life.
QUARIUSaan 20eb. 18): I found this pers onal ad in Usenet’s alt.perbnals.aliens, and I thought you might be interested in respond ing to it. Diaphanous floater with no gravitational burdens seeks groovy shaman with swankalicious out-ofbody dexterity fo r flying together in dreams. Let’s explore the delirious nir vana o f traveling in an d out o f time with no particular destination. APRIL FO O L! The fact is, you Aquarians don’t need any more influences that encourage you to live your whole life in your head — especially when it comes to romantic partners! Please make damn sure that everyone who loves you knows how important it is that they help keep you fully embodied. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Stroll around the mall with your sweetie while wearing matching sweatshirts. Stage a drunken poetry reading in a run-down church bordering the Interstate. Jum p rope while wearing high heels. Carjack a 1976 A M C Pacer. Buy a thousand Grateful Dead golf-club covers wholesale and resell them over the Internet. If at first you don’t succeed, redefine suc cess. APRIL FO O L! All those instructions are utterly irrelevant to your true cosmic mandate — all of them that is, except one. If you can guess which one, it means you have the sharp intuition you’ll need to turn a limitation into an asset in the coming week. ® You can call Rob Brexsny, day or night for your
