T questio

What's your fashion pet peeve? My pet peeve is when the abstract, adult notion of fashion is inflicted on children, training them to conform and squelching their individuality at an early age. It's tragic, really. — Buddy Dubay Children's musician and teacher, Poker Hill School Underbill People who wear jeans under a skirt or dress. Either wear the jeans, or the skirt/dress, but not both. It looks ridiculous! — Ryan Vandrey UVM s t u d e n t , Burlington

PARINI PULP The only thing missing from Paula Routly s profile of Middlebury poet/biographer/novelist/ mentor/professor Jay Parini, ["By the Book," Mar. 20], which should have been titled "The Writer as Automaton," was the golden retriever that took the Great Ones manuscripts to a mailbox by the road through the deepest snow. It was the kind of feel-good, cuddly piece that stirs up visions of sugar plums, famous mentors and sixfigure contracts in the eyes of poet/biographer/novelist wannabes. As a potent antidote to Routly s portrait of liberal Vermont collegialism and its ranks of selfcongratulatory writers who think they've got it made, I urge anyone made as sick as I was by the cloying sweetness to pick up Philip Roth's latest, The Human Strain. — Joe Sherman Montgomery TELEVISION RECEPTION In "Inside Track," Mar. 27, Peter Freyne reported that Vermont Public Television had invited him to appear on "Vermont This Week," Mar. 22, then uninvited him. He is correct about that. Regrettably, it happened because of a miscommunication on our part. After a January

time. The point is, however, that VPT's "curbing" or "limiting" of the speech of a respected veteran Vermont journalist simply because of his opinion amounts to nothing less than censoring the press. I am deeply disturbed that VPT would do so. "Our liberty," wrote Thomas Jefferson, "depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." I hope VPT reconsiders its decision to "limit" Peter Freyne's appearances. I will be meeting with VPT's President and CEO ... to discuss my concerns. — Senator Peter Shumlin President pro tempore State of Vermont NO INDUSTRIAL FARMING Vermont Egg Farms represents a kind of agriculture that we do not want to see proliferating in Vermont ["Waste Not?" March 27]. It is a corporate-owned farm, not a family farm. The owner lives hours away and has a manager run the place. It intends to grow to 700,000 chickens, all on 150 acres surrounded by already existing dairy farms. Even if all the chicken manure is hauled away each week to compost operations, the neigh-

VPT 'CURBING' DISTURBING For democracy to work, it requires that all three branches of government fulfill their constitutional responsibility. But democracy requires more than that. It requires an informed electorate. And to achieve that end, democracy demands that the press, the Fourth Estate, be free to review, analyze, report and comment on the actions of government. ... Vermont Public Television withdrew its invitation to Seven Days columnist Peter Freyne to appear on Good Fridays "Vermont This Week." Mr. Freyne has been a regular panelist and substitute host for 20 years. At one time or another he has accurately skewered all of us, regardless of political party. Mr. Freyne has written that he was told by the program's producer that he would not be invited back again. In Thursday's Rutland Herald, VPT spokesperson Ann Curran stated Freyne was "uninvited" because of a comment he made on the January 18 program referring to the victorious side in a Chittenden County political election. Whether one agrees with Mr. Freynes description or not is not the point. Ms. Curran claims Mr. Freyne was not told he was banned for life, but only for a still unspecified

program in which Freyne made remarks we found offensive, we made a journalistic decision to limit his appearances. This was an independent decision that had nothing to do with political pressure. Freyne was not permanently barred from the program. Freyne may believe that the House Institutions committee gave VPT less than requested in the capital budget because he appeared on "Vermont This Week" only two weeks before they finished their work on the budget. Freynes only evidence is a rumor from an unnamed source. We have had absolutely no communication from any member of the legislature that our funding is tied to his appearances, nor do we believe any legislator would harm the valuable service VPT provides because of one panelist on one program out of our entire schedule. The Institutions committees, both House and Senate, have supported VPT solidly throughout its history. This is a tough year for the legislature to fund many worthy requests with limited resources, and we are confident they will continue to sustain a statewide service that Vermonters depend on. — John King President, Vermont Public Television Colchester

But at Apollo Fuels on Sunday, Miller That's the GOP faction led by Rev. David paid just $19.60 per carton. Such a deal! Stertzbach of Willistons Trinity Baptist Church. On Sunday, Apollo Fuels was selling Marlboro cartons for $28.35. Less than a mile away in Granville, Marlboro cartons were offered at prices between $42 and $46 per carton. In fact, in our visit to a Granville Stewarts, a Cumberland Farms and a chain drug store, not once did we see anyone purchase cigarettes. *. Noting the huge price difference, the clerk at Cumberland Farms even told us that she, like most local puffers, buys her butts just over the Vermont state line at Apollo. Over at the volunteer fire department, we learned that Apollo Fuels rose out of an empty field about 10 years ago. It's become a local tradition for folks to make the short hop to Vermont to buy their smokes. The reason for the huge price difference is, of course, the difference in state cigarette taxes between Vermont and New York. In New York the tax is $ 1.11 per pack, and there's currently a move in Albany to raise it to $1.50. In Vermont, the cigarette tax is 44 cents per pack. In Montpelier, there's a move underway to raise it 67 cents to match New York's current rate. But one very powerful Vermont politician is expending a great deal of political capital blocking any cigarette tax hike in Vermont — House Speaker Walter Freed. A few weeks back, Freed used the mighty power of his gavel to prevent a cigarette tax hike from even being debated. According to state records that track all underground fuel storage tanks in Vermont, Apollo Fuels in Pawlet is owned by Apollo Industries Inc. of Wallingford. And guess who the president of Apollo Industries is. House Speaker Walter Freed. And guess where Walter Freed grew up. Granville, New York. Small world, eh? Previously, we've asked the Speaker in writing to disclose the businesses he owns that sell tobacco products. He has refused to respond. Now we know why. It's perfectly legal to sell cigarettes. But if Vermont raises its tax to match New York's, Apollo Fuels of Pawlet — Freed's tobacco shop that also

The faction that bitterly opposed civil unions, demanded its repeal, and viciously smeared State Sen. Peter Brownell and Senate candidate Barbara Snelling in the GOP primary because they don't consider homosexuality an "abomination." And when Sen. Snelling had to retire in January for health reasons, that was the faction opposing the candidacy of the senator's daughter, Diane Snelling, as her replacement. The VPT story was front-page news on Thursday and Friday's Rutland Herald and Times Argus. On Saturday, The Burlington Free Press gave it a brief mention. The response has been overwhelming. We've received more than 100 e-mails, phone calls, voice mails and letters from readers and viewers. Folks shared their viewpoints as well as the messages they'd sent to VPT Here's a sampling: • From Worcester: "This is hard for me to do because I believe in (though much less so recently), public television and was thinking of writing you a check of 50 dollars. Now that the news is out about what might be going on with political pressure from the right-wing leadership in the Vermont House of Representatives, I can tell you, forget it. And unless you fire the person that made that awfully horrible decision to kick Peter off for using "Taliban," then, c'mon, grow up. "Why is it that we hear the conservatives having to constantly stifle other points of view or they will threaten to take away funding or whatever? "What's next, mass arrest? I've about had it. Do something about this!" • From South Hero: "We were shocked and dismayed to learn of Peter Freyne's removal from the "Vermont This Week" program, and his understanding of why the VPT action was taken. "We must tell you that Freyne's appearances represent some of the most refreshing and informative moments that VPT has to offer. We hope you will reconsider this action and restore him to the program." • From Calais: "If this reduction in VPT funding and Mr. Freyne's removal are linked, as Mr. Freyne believes they are, that's not unfortunate, that's a

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Grand Terrace, California, charged Dennis Martin-Castro, 24, with abducting a 7-year-old girl from her bedroom. She escaped by jumping from the man's car when he stopped to look for his lost wallet. Police found the wallet in front of the girl's home and arrested Martin-Castro three hours later when he returned to the address on his driver's license.

Cover-Up Workers had already begun building a new 7500-foot runway at Tokyo's Narita International Airport when local farmers refused to sell tracts of land located at what was to have been the center. As a result, airport officials decided to lengthen one completed strip by 2400 feet and abandon the other. To prevent planes from trying to land on the 1290foot-long unusable section, the New Tokyo International Airport Authority announced it would hide the concrete strip with green paint and camouflage netting to make it look like a field.

Color Coding Johns Hopkins University astronomers Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry announced in January that the color of the universe is pale green.

The universe's real color, Glazebrook admitted, is beige. • When a group of American Indians at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley was unable to persuade a local high school to stop using the name "Fightin' Reds" for its sports teams, the college students named their intramural basketball team the "Fightin' Whities." Players wear white T-shirts with a caricature of a very Caucasianlooking gentleman and the slogan, "Every thang's gonna be all white!" To the dismay of Solomon Little Owl, director of the university's Native American Student Services, who hoped turning the tables would make people see how offensive Indian names are for sports teams, the white people of Greeley responded by asking where they can buy team jerseys.

The Virginia measure is similar to an Arkansas law, which Gov. Mike Huckabee proposed last November in response to legislators who said tax increases were the answer to solving the state's economic woes. In its first month, Arkansas' Tax Me More Fund raised just $276.

Point Taken A group of hunters using ceramic insulators on high-voltage power lines for target practice cut off electric power to one-third of the population of Bishek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

Mensa Reject of the Week Mike Singh, the manager of a convenience store in Des Moines, Iowa, came to work early one morning and found a man sleeping on the floor with a couple of beer cans beside him. The man said he'd gotten locked in the store the night before, apologized and paid Singh for the beer. About 20 minutes later, Singh discovered cash was missing, as well as redeemed scratch-off lottery tickets that could be cashed elsewhere. "It was early. I wasn't thinking," said Singh, who estimated his loss at more than $3500. "It just didn't click that he was paying me with my own money."

At the trial of Dr. Carl M. Drury in Brunswick, Georgia, prosecutors said they have an audiotape of Drury asking a federal agent posing as a hit man to kill his wife. But the doctor was only pretending, defense attorney Ed Garland said during opening arguments. He explained that Drury gave the undercover agent $250 and a gun because a friend, who was having "a relationship" with Drury's wife and wanted to frame him, duped him into thinking he was role-playing in a police training exercise. "When Dr. Drury spoke these words," Garland told the jury, "he is no more guilty of a crime than John Wayne is of killing Indians. He is play-acting."

Mote BY JERNIGAN PONTIAC

n the wee hours its rare to pick up a fare who came into this world much before the presidency of Jimmy Carter. The after-midnight downtown scene looks like a scene from the sci-fi flick, Logan's Run, in which malevolent powers-that-be surreptitiously terminated every citizen at age 30. The slender man hailing me from the curb one recent night was a true anomaly: He looked like he might recall the Truman administration. "Hey, buddy, out kinda late tonight?" I asked casually, and probably intrusively, as he settled into the front seat. 1 "Oh, dear, I'm never even up at this hour," he replied. I noticed he was wearing a worn but elegantly tailored topcoat and a tall fur hat. If he pulled it down over his ears it would reach his shoulders. Though odd, his look was somehow dashing, in just the way that old-fashioned word connotes. "I'm locked out of my motel room. I don't know what on Earth has become of my key." "Well, that's not good. Can't you get a copy from the night-desk clerk?" "That's the problem. He's offduty at 10.1 know the name of the owner, though, so I'd like you to take me to his home on Saratoga Avenue." "Sure thing," I said, and I pulled out in the direction of North Avenue. "The owner knows you're coming, I take it? It's pretty late." "Not exactly. I know his name is Mike Kelley, so I looked him up in the phone book. The problem is, there's quite a few of them. I tried two numbers, and they were the wrong Mike Kelley. This one, on Saratoga Avenue, just didn't answer." I was doing my best to follow the logic as we swung onto the Northern Connector. "So why are we going there if the guy's not in?" "Well, a lot of people turn off their phones at night. My conjecture is, he might be home, just not picking up." "Uh, yeah," I said, glancing at the radio clock. "Its 10 after one; the Mike Kelley on Saratoga Avenue is probably asleep." "You may well be right, but it's a true emergency. Where am I going to sleep tonight? I must get into my room!"

I said. "It's worth a shot. What brings you through town, if I may ask?" "I'm living up here. I've been at the motel since the fall." I forget there are people who essentially reside at the low-end motels. It seems like a less-thanideal living arrangement, but with the demise of rooming houses and the dearth of single-roon) residences, cheap motels may be the only viable option for some folks. But this guy struck me as an unlikely candidate for the motel lifestyle. His formal speech, for one thing, suggested an uppercrust childhood. His bearing was

another one who's out on Lost Nation Road." "Great," I said. "So you were able to reach him?" "No, I got his answering machine, and I think it sounded like him, but, honestly, I'm not sure. Perhaps we can go to the house?" So far I'd been going along with the man's approach, but now it was time to bring some hackie experience to bear on the situation. I said, "Frankly, sir, I think at this point you'd be wasting your time and money. It isn't called "Lost Nation Road" for nothing. I call it "Lost Cabbie Road." It wends way the heck out through Essex, Westford, who knows where. I think it's just too much of a long shot." "I suppose you're right," he said. "What do you suggest, then? I certainly don't want to pay for another motel room for the night." "Maybe the shelter at the Wilson can help you. If not, there's always good old Dunkin Donuts. It's 24 hours, you know." "Egad! Those are not very appealing options. Is the Wilson that place over on King Street and Church?" "Yup, that's the one." "I think I'm going to pursue the other option. I do enjoy my coffee and donuts, and I have a paperback novel with me that I just started. The motel office will reopen at dawn, so it's not too long a stretch — providing, of course, I can stay awake. You don't suppose they'll kick me out for loitering, do you?" "I wouldn't think so. Just tell the kid behind the counter what's going on. He'll -probably enjoy the company this time of night." We drove back downtown, and I dropped him at Church and Main. "Thank you, my good man, you've been a prince," he said as he gave me a generous tip. I especially appreciated it, since I hadn't charged him for the waiting time on Saratoga Avenue. I glided along the streets, mulling over the Debonair Duke of Donuts. Where had he come from, and where would he go next? ®

We exited the Connector at North Avenue, took the first right onto Saratoga and eased to a stop in front of what we both hoped was the right Mike Kelley home. A Jeep Explorer was parked in the driveway, but the house was pitch black. "What do you think?" my customer asked. "Good luck," I replied. He approached the darkened front entrance, hesitated a moment, then rang the doorbell. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi... Nothing stirred in the house. He turned to face me and shrugged his shoulders. Just as he raised his pointer finger to ring again, a light came on upstairs. Moments later the door opened, and I could see the silhouette of a robed woman. After a brief verbal exchange, she let him into the house. Nine minutes elapsed — for some reason I timed it — and my guy returned to the cab. "That was the wrong Mike Kelley," he said, "but his wife graciously allowed me to call

NOTES FROM THE UNDIE GROUND Here's the skivvy, er skinny, on

Tania Kupczak. As a Burlington underwear artist, she's fully out of the drawer. The Oberlin grad earned a Master's in visual art at Vermont College with a panty project designed to "reclaim underwear as an empowered object of identity." She put out an APB for worn undies that would serve as "metaphors for experience." The exhibit title, "Identifying Marks," may have scared off a few potential participants. But Kupczak got about 62 specimens — including a few giant-sized pairs and a couple of thongs — from a pool of friends and fellow art students. The undie art project quickly evolved. "The more I explored and showed people my work, I realized I couldn't empty the object of its sexualized meaning," Kupczak says. Now it's about "exchange, and building relationships through physical objects — in this case, underwear." She's still collecting the real thing — "I can't stop," she confesses — but is also set up to accept virtual unmentionables. A form on her Web site (www.home.earthlink.net/-tania232/marks.html) soon will invite male and female visitors to draw a picture of a favorite or ideal pair of underwear. The results will be compiled eventually into a book . . . Hey, it worked for Rachel Comey. The former curator of the Exquisite Corpse Artsite at Jager DiPaola Kemp Design got her sartorial start making underwear for small retail outlets in Burlington. Now living in New York, she's dressing Courtney Love. The Hole story is that Love loves Comey couture — she's pictured in one of the latter's original men's shirts in the April issue of the London-based Face magazine. Comey herself recently popped up in the Style Section of the Sunday New York Times. Her thriftshop hat caught the eye of the "On the Street" photographer.

MODEL CITIZEN? Not too many models can be seen in both Parenting magazine and the Maxim Swimsuit Issue. But Doug Rumsey of Colchester pulls it off in style, with a face reminiscent of a young Robert Redford. In fact, he's the spitting image of the Sundance Kid in a recent spread in Issue magazine. The 28-year-old heartthrob got his start with Debra Lewin Talent and Productions in Burlington. Now he's appearing in catalogues, commercials — Bud Lite, Burger King and AT&T — and glossy magazines. Rumsey was Mr. Vermont in Cosmo's national bachelor round-up last October, and more recently he was first runner-up in a big Wrangler deal. Yaaa-who knows where he'll turn up next? FIBER OPTIMISM: The clothes may make the man, but who makes the clothes? Vermont is home to a number of artists and entrepreneurs who design, manufacture or broker textiles. Burlington's Laura Lienhard designs fabrics for interiors — "upholstery, window treatments, anything that can be utilized inside the home," she explains. Her "line" is hanging in fancy stores across the country, samples of which showed up in the February issue of Interior Design magazine. Lienhard, a Rhode Island School of Design grad, will soon have a small showroom adjacent to her studio in the Hood Plant. . . Matt Mole shepherds vast flocks of sheep from his office in Burlington. But instead of a crook, he uses a computer and a phone. The 30-year-old University of Vermont grad is an organic wool broker who connects responsible sheep farmers with eco-friendly manufacturers of socks, comforters and throws. His three-year-old company, Vermont Organic Fiber, is onto something. Chemical sheep dips can "get pretty nasty," says Mole, who grew up on a beef farm in Pownal. Not a baaad transition. IN BRIEF: There aren't too many opportunities to glitter in the Green Mountains. The Oscar-inspired Vermont Bessie Awards is one of them. Burlington City Arts has resurrected the not-exactly-annual event that selects "outstanding" Vermont-made film and theater endeavors. Judging movies, however, is a lot easier than seeing every single play produced over the past two years. Apparently no one on the selection committee showed for a Theatre on a Shoestring staging of The Reindeer Monologues. As a result, organizers can count on one less tuxedo in the crowd on June 15 at St. Michael's College. In a letter circulated on Monday, director Dean Pratt announced he will boycott the proceedings. 'Since no one attended our show," he gripes, "there is no way we could have won" . . . The producers of the "Oprah Winfrey Show" flew a Charlotte couple all the way to Chicago so they could settle a dispute on daytime television last week. At issue is a toy sheep — Tawny — who shares a bed with Jamey DamatO and Ekiah Pickett. "My wife went to the Oprah Web site and typed in, 'I'm 25 years old. I sleep with a stuffed animal. I'm married. Is this normal?"' They called back right away and invited the duo to appear on the show with resident therapist "Dr, Phil." Tawny, too, although he did not get his own seat on the airplane. Pickett explains, "I stuffed him into the carry-on." The verdict? Dr. Phil diplomatically suggested there's a "wide range of normal," adding he wouldn't mind if his own wife brought a live sheep to bed. ®

fc eauty is bought by judgment of the eye," suggested Shakespeare, so its no wonder merchants in major markets are willing to pay through the nose for winning windows. In the less fashionable Queen City, when shoppers passing by Expressions, Bennington Potters or Leather Express suddenly feel compelled to go inside, chances are they've been lured by the work of Michael Valente. The 53-year-old "visual merchandiser" regularly arranges street-level windows and interior installations for about a dozen area businesses. Other assignments afe seasonal, holiday-related or philanthropic — such as a window display devoted to the Children's Miracle Network at the Green Mountain Florist Supply. Valente began as an apprentice in his native upstate New York at age 19. Living in rural Waterbury Center since the late 1970s, he's been decorating downtown Burlington for more than three decades.

Along the way I've learned some of the social rules of hair, mostly by breaking them. These rules are tangled up in gender, race, class and desire. Breaking them can result in a figurative hairball, a messy bit of organic matter you have to deal with even if you don't want to.

The first rule of hair is that when we alter it we are simultaneously required to act as if it were natural. This is why radically changing hair color every few months, as I do, is seen as a breach of good conduct. So is dying your hair colors that are obviously unnatural. When I went pink, for example, people told me that it did not look good with my skin tone — as if any skin tone is complemented by fluorescent pink hair. I don't think this advice is given in

•here. Or think Lolita. That sexiness and childishness come together in golden highlights points out one of the most obvious reasons we dye our hair: to be erotically enticing by looking "pure" and "young." This blond must look "natural," however. When I dye my hair a convincing golden hue,

Andy Warhol" ,look. This seems to bother people, as if bleached blond was the naturally occurring color and made false by my perversely dark roots. The second rule of hair is that its size is in inverse proportion to class. In other words, big hair is not a look for the elite. This is not to say that many rich women don't have big hair, but those women are moneyed, which is not the same as upper class. I discovered this rule when I tried to look like Peter Frampton. I permed my thenlong hair to achieve what I thought was a very groovy rocker kind of look. Everyone else thought I just looked trashy — especially my boyfriend, who suggested shaving my head, immediately. The first two rules of hair led me to understand the third: It is misunderstood. No matter what you think you're saying with your hair, most people will not understand. Partly this is the burden of being a visionary, but mostly it is because our hair is never really as good as we want it to be. Right now, for instance, I think I've achieved a layered, "Charlie s Angels" sort of look, but my girlfriend thinks I should shave my head, immediately. When I do shave it, by the way, I look like a 12-year-old boy. Which brings me to rule number four: Hair must be dyed or otherwise altered to achieve youth, not age. We all strive to be preternaturally young. Gray is a color reserved for the very old, the hopelessly shabby or the defiantly "organic." Gray is the color for women who "let themselves go." In this society it is "unnatural" to embrace signs of aging, and those who do so are regarded as pitiable. This means that most women — white women, anyway — go lighter rather than darker, since white children generally have lighter hair than adults. And, of course, blond is the color most associated not only with innocent childhood but also with "sexy" adult women. Think both Macaulay Culkin and Madonna

people tell me I look younger, even prettier. But when I obviously bleach my hair, I am a slut. The last time I bleached it, even with my short, unisex locks and dark-framed glasses, I found myself turning down date invitations from a large, bearded man who rode a Harley. This segues to the fifth rule of hair: For women, facial and other body hair is taboo, even if lightened. I have never shaved the hair under my arms. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because bare armpits always fernitM me of the skin on a chicken — all bumpy and oddly colored/When I first committed this hairesy, in the 1970s, it made me feel sophisticated, as if I were "too European" for my suburban high school. I would stick my nose in the air whenever I saw girls shaving after swim practice. Now that women in Europe — even Eastern Europe — shave, though, I just feel weird. I am without a doubt the only female at my gym with hairy pits. And I doubt that the women in the locker room are thinking I'm too continental for Burlington. The last rule can hardly be called a rule, but it is nonetheless true: Hair is full of contradictions, and so are we. I shave my legs but not my pits. I color my hair like Marilyn Monroe's, but cut it close to my scalp. My role model is a female friend who sports a full beard — a "hairetic" if ever there was one. But recently she noticed some gray hairs and decided to pluck them — going gray is apparently less acceptable to her than being a bearded lady. Go figure. In other words, the rules of hair are meant to be broken. Your ends, though, should never be split. Which is why, after two decades of chemical intervention, I am considering "natural" as my next performance. It won't be easy, though, because I suspect that what is under all those layers of deceit is mousy brown with some significant streaks of gray. And I'll admit it: That color frightens me most of all.

Perched on a boulder, Libby Grise looks somewhat Goth with her numerous facial piercings and knee-high, lace-up, imitation black leather platforrri*boots. But she's added an all-American patriotic flourish: White socks with red and blue stripes peek out at the top of her calves. "I got the boots in November at Hot Topic in the U - M a l l , " says the 22-year-old residential staff employee at Spectrum Youth and Family Services in Burlington. "They haven't been giving me any problems until today. Now I've got gauze on my heel where they're digging in."

The Word on

the Feet

A mycS-seassn shoe crew poyncfs the pavement

Leigh Ault stops to do her banking at an automated teller machine in low-slung red suede Gravis shoes with a wide, Velcro-fastened front strap. T h e 24-year-old Burton Snowboards public relations coordinator from Burlington shrewdly puts in a plug for her employer. "I got my Lolas at the Burton factory showroom," she confides. "That's what this style is called, the Lola. They're really comfortable."

BY SUSAN GREEN Mud season finds Burlington pedestrians of divided opinion when it comes to footwear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some are shod for winter, some for spring, and some are simply dressed for mess. Vermonters might tread lightly when it comes to high fashion, but a recent random survey on the Church Street Marketplace suggests that people take their soles seriously... ÂŠ

Two adolescents emerge from Old Navy, their soft plastic lavender flip-flops creating a syncopated sound along the brick walkway. Isabel Ekman of Charlotte and Emily Reindel of Williston, both 14, are merely following their own Easter weekend tradition. "We always buy open-toes and clack 'em down the street," Ekman confesses.-"It's just something we do. We wear them until they break... in a month or two."

Although gray skies make a 50degree day feel more like 40, Hinesburg resident Shawna Mead, 23, is sockless in light brown leather sandals with a chunky wedge heel. All the better to show off the "Raisinette" hue of her toenail polish and the two fivepointed star tattoos on her left foot. "I put these on as soon as there's no snow left on the ground," the social worker says of her summery shoes.

Perhaps the notorious "terrible twos" are a bit less awful when you're wearing chartreuse. Little Asiyih Ehsani of Shelburne is decked out almost entirely in this vivid shade of green. A pair of blue rubber galoshes, purchased at Payless, are the toddler's only point of departure. "Asiyih doesn't go anywhere unless she's got those boots o n , " explains her mother Kadzo.

Is Lara Heath comfortable in her eye-catching "British tan" boots with four-inch wooden heels and dramatically pointy toes squared off at the tip? " N o t really," admits the 34-year-old owner of the E C C O clothing store in downtown Burlington. "I won't lie to you. I wear these more for fashion than comfort. They're sort of a cross between Western and dressy."

Paul Engels of South Burlington has a tale to tell about his khaki and navy Cole Haan country twotones with tan laces and burnt orange soles: "I was looking everywhere for saddle shoes, which are out of style and hard to f i n d , " recalls the Keleher Samets Volk business development manager, 54. "A few weeks ago, Michael Kehoe's offered to order some at $ 1 5 5 a pair. So I went to the Cole Haan Web site, where these were on sale for $ 8 9 . 9 5 . I bought 'em on the Internet."

Some shoes make a statement. Stacey Chagnon's Oxford-like laced Fluevogs are shiny black leather with a red flame-shaped design along the sides. "I got them a year ago at Boomerang in Brattleboro," says the Connecticut woman, 25, who plans to relocate to Vermont in late June. "They're very me. J3old. And cool."

"I'm known for my shoes," proclaims Kitty Hodgetts, 50, glancing down at her tan suede high heels with pointy toes and Mary Jane straps. On a Good Friday stroll through the Queen City, the Richmond woman acknowledges that she must have at least 3 0 different "dress-up" styles at home. That prompts her pal to quip: " M y friend, Imelda Marcos."

A guy who's partial to shoe trees, John Tucker of Burlington found his black tasseled Johnson & Murphy loafers 10 years ago in New York City, "because you can't normally get them in places like Vermont." T h e Racial Justice and Equity Project director, who prefers to keep his age a secret, doesn't mess around when it comes to footwear. "Shoes are a particular passion. My dad taught me that's the only thing you should spend a lot of money on. You don't want your feet bothered."

Nyasha Chiundiza couldn't resist the Spanish-made brown Campers he spotted in a local thrift shop two weeks ago. They remind him of "old football shoes,"-he says, referring to the game Americans call soccer. T h e 24-year-old Burlington College senior from Zimbabwe points out that the pattern of raised circles on the noslip rubber soles look "like little soccer balls."

Weekly Mail

continued from page 4a boring farms will continue to be impacted and their survival will be threatened. Composting is a great practice. But it is not good for compost companies to enable a factory farm to expand. Now there are already many large dairy farms in the state. They would not have to get so large if they were getting a fair price for their milk in the first place. And they could be a great source of manure for the compost operations if they had different manure management practices. The Vermont Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture continue to support larger farms and the corporate control of agriculture. Their vision of agriculture will continue to destroy small family farms. If the politicians hear from a lot of people with concerns about the future of agriculture, changes in policy and direction can happen. We have an opportunity in Vermont to create a new model for agriculture — a model that is based on government support for the small farmers. The trend needs to be towards more sustainable agriculture. Organic farmers should be encouraged, and transition from conventional to organic agriculture must be assisted by the state. — Matthew Ennis Lincoln

Montreal

Makeover

The ouis and mm of French-Canadian men's

BY ERNIE MCLEOD

aspirations, but, let's face it, your typical men's store in Vermont doesn't exactly encourage boldness. Montreal clothing stores, on the other hand, inspire reckless regard for practicality. For one thing, all the salespeople appear runway-ready and are eager to persuade you that you are, too. Then there's the ubiquitous thumping dance music that immediately puts you in a nightlife state of mind. Finally, there are the garments themselves. Cotton gives way to materials you've never quite imagined, at least on clothes, and the male-female divide gets liberatingly fuzzy. Next thing you know, you're in a changing booth with a stack of androgynous outfits inappropriate for all occasions back in Vermont. I remember waking up to the inappropriateness problem a couple of years ago when a gorgeous saleswoman encouraged me to try on a wild shirt cut from some startlingly unnatural fabric. "Parfaitpour les clubs!" she enthused. Flattered that she'd

s one who subscribes to the maxim, "You only feel as good as you look," I find hanging out in Montreal can be an ego-deflating experience. When I head out the door in small-town Vermont — my usual home — there's at least a reasonable chance I'll feel as fashionably puttogether as the next guy. The competition is, shall we say, underwhelming. Now that I'm living temporarily in Montreal, however, I suddenly feel like an L.L. Bean advertisement crudely Scotch-taped into Vogue Hommes International. And I don't even shop at L.L. Bean. Not all Montreal men are fashion plates, of course. But the ones who aren't tend to stay off my radar screen, and the ones who are sit next to me in restaurants. I'm convinced Montrealers have a special gene that allows them to look perfectly groomed at all times, no matter how heinous the weather. While I dab Kleenexes at my nose and try to pretend my hair doesn't look like an illustration for 1 static electricity, they look like they've been immaculately air-dropped from a Gucci party. You know you're not in Vermont anymore when straight men who aren't rock stars don leather pants as blithely as Vermont men do chinos. North of the border, flannel is an endangered species. And black most definitely rules, except pegged me as a Montreal club-goer, I when canary yellow or fire-engine red will almost forgot that in my actual hometown do just as nicely. That's one of the first les clubs n existent pas. things you notice about Montreal style: It I wisely rejected the shimmering chehas a certain schizophrenic leniency.

Imagine ment — if only I dared to move in them. The Cure meets Jimmy Buffett. Lesson learned: Think twice about pants that should come with a snap-on fig leaf. My first encounter with FrenchCanadian male fashion sensibility was, oddly enough, at the ocean in Maine when I was a kid. The Quebec men were ow that Montreal is my home for a easy to spot because they had no disspell, I figure it's time for a comcernible asses and wore the type of tight plete image overhaul, one that will bikini — a.k.a.

Since fashion extends from head to When I got older and began making toe, the first step was to try an adventurweekend visits to Montreal, I quickly realous new hairstyle. By the time my ized that Quebec men don't generally boyfriend and I made appointments at parade down the streets in Speedos — even Coupe Bizzarre, we'd managed to go three if they're not afraid to flaunt their bodies months without any cuts, so our coijfes .— and that the guys who stood out as resembled Beck's on a bad day. tacky were American tourists like myself. While Veronique tended to my There's no law against wearing oversized boyfriend, my stylist introduced himself as Bermuda shorts and T-shirts everywhere Phil — an alarmingly pale young fellow you go, but perhaps there should be. with a bleached-blond shag and tattoos snaking up his arms.

A few seconds later he was picking at the fringe atop my head, explaining how he'd created texture so "it can be a new style every day!" He demonstrated the myriad possibilities by plastering the sparse remains over my forehead, then elaborately gelling them upwards and sideways into what he termed le bedhead. So far the only styles I've mastered are le hathead and le roosterhead\ but it may be the most striking haircut I've had since that modified mullet back in 1982. Meanwhile, my boyfriend's cut was

Fortunately, the semi-annual sales here seem to continue year-round, so there's never a shortage of bargains. In Bedo, which has several stores around Montreal, I was disappointed to discover that two subtly see-through Ricky Martinesque sweaters I'd bought last year were now — like Ricky's career, perhaps — on the double-discount rack. Lesson learned: Be wary of fashion trends inspired by overhyped Latin pop stars. On St-Denis we stopped in any store with Soldes in the window, forgoing those

also a fait accompli. For an instant I suspected someone else's hairdo had blown from afar onto his head and landed backwards. Then I saw it was indeed his hair, albeit reconfigured in a manner I would have thought structurally impossible. "Wow!" I exclaimed, otherwise speechless. To complement my coupe bizarre, and because all the hip boys in Montreal sport some creative variation on the goatee, I've been undergoing an exhaustive series of facial hair experiments. Thus far, unfortunately, they've all made me look like one of the less stable members of the van Gogh family. Next stop, la lunetterie. Besides cigarettes, eyewear has to be the most beloved Montrdaler accessory. As a part-time glasses wearer whose frames resemble Harry Potter's, I knew it was high time for an update. But with enough choices to overstimulate even Elton John, how would I ever hunt down the perfect pair? A few thousand needed to be eliminated. As much as I admired the many resembling miniature Calder sculptures, I had to admit they definitely didn't belong on my face. Ditto the ones that turned me into a scary hybrid of exotic insect and Sally Jesse Raphael. Plastic, not wire-rimmed. Funky, but not too funky. What I need are frames to suit a guy who spends his days contemplating poetry in elegant yet disreputable

with minimalist displays set in vast, gleaming spaces — always a sure sign of exorbitant prices. Tie-dye, particularly in multiple hues of powder blue, is very big in Montreal this spring, though not for me, since I believe tie-dye is best avoided by those of us who were alive for the original Woodstock. Bowling shirt knock-offs in unexpected color combinations are also all the rage. I might have bought one if the sight hadn't brought on an unpleasant flashback: a high school outing to the local lanes hadn't concluded with my date vomiting spectacularly in the back seat of the car. Once you reach a certain age, retro t tends to recall the very least fashionable periods of your past. Then there were the intriguing sweaters at Le Chateau, which looked and felt like macrame plant-hangers sewn together, and the shirts with vertigoproducing op-art patterns. Ultimately, what I left on the racks is far more interesting than what I actually purchased. Besides a few items in foolproof black, the new additions to my closet include one stretchy shirt with — hang on! — a zipper down the front; one sweater form-fitting enough to ensure I maintain a strict gym regimen; and, yes, one swimsuit that's Speedo-ish but not, I assure you, tacky. The leather pants, I'm afraid, will have to wait. The Vermontr^al homme du monde wasn't built in a day. ®

political quid pro quo for which VPT should be ashamed. "And if its not linked, and Mr. Freyne is incorrect, why is he being removed from VTW? Did you not think that making up a $200,000 funding shortfall would have been an easier task without having made this apparent putsch of Mr. Freyne? "I'm not yet going [to make a pledge to not pledge] to VPT because of this bogus move, because I expect VPT to reconsider your action. Do you expect your members to continue to pledge and to watch VTW for Sam Hemingway without Freyne?" • From Burlington: "Between this and the Speakers earlier no-cameras-in-the-House policy, I'm starting to think Freed has a freespeech impediment. Pretty crummy treatment for you. On the bright side, must be nice to know you're valued at upwards of $200 grand!" • From Rutland: "I am truly dismayed at todays story by Tracy Schmaler of the Rutland Herald. In short, Vermont Public Television should remember its humble beginnings. It should also come to grips with the reality that without Peter Freyne appearing on "Vermont This Week," the program is in grave danger of being declared boring." • From Burlington — "I was upset to read about your trouble with VPT It's quite a thing to be censured for an analogy. "As someone who's been through similar fights, I understand how irritating it can be when pressure for political correctness becomes an excuse for hypocrisy. We've had our differences, but that doesn't change my support for your vigorous work and refreshing frankness over all these years. "Well, at least you're in good company — including the first victim of the Alien and Sedition Acts, Matthew Lyon, a Vermont Congressman, newspaper editor and critic of John Adams' administration. As you may recall, he landed in a 12-by-16-foot cell in Vergennes, Vermont, for saying that the administration had a thirst for "selfish avarice," and that the President ought to be sent to a madhouse. By that yardstick, you're not doing too bad." • From Montpelier: "Whether your organization responded to pressure from The Duke of Dorset, who is now The Speaker of the House, or simply imposed internal censorship under the color of "standards"; the way Peter Freyne has been dealt with is disgusting. If my lifelong friend Jack Barry were aware of what VPT has become, he would be upset that his name is associated with it.

• From Cornwall: "And I thought that if the U.S. didn't have free speech, at least VT did... and. within the media, of course public television would be in the forefront. Must be not. "It's a sad day when anyone tries to still the voices of truth. I don't always agree with your column or "Vermont This Week" comments, but more often than not you're right, and even if not you have the right (some wguld claim obligation) to state your views. "I shall miss your Friday night appearances." • From Burlington: "I find it extraordinarily curious that it took John King three months to determine that a remark made in January by Peter Freyne was "not up to the standard" of Vermont Public Television. The timing has a peculiar odor about it. An odor reminiscent of political payback in the form of reduced state funding for VPT." The Latest — On Monday, VPT president John King released a new statement declaring in part: "Vermont This Week draws panelists from a wide variety of media. All are subject to the different journalistic standards of their own employers. "When they appear on VPT, however, they come under the umbrella of VPT's own editorial standards. It is VPT's journalistic right and responsibility to shape the tone and content of the program. Viewers trust us to make our own independent judgments. "The incident made us realize we needed to develop clearer editorial guidelines for the guests on the program, and staff began working on them. We had planned to put those guidelines in place and meet with Peter about them before considering an invitation to him to return as a panelist. "We should have made our concerns about the January remarks clear to Peter immediately after the program. "Therefore, the March 22 invitation was an error on our part, since we had not yet had that conversation with Peter, and we withdrew that week's invitation. "Peter wrote in his newspaper column last week that he had been told he would not be invited back to the show. From our perspective, that is incorrect and he was not permanently barred from the show. "VPT staff will work with the producer and host of the program, Chris Graff, to develop clearer guidelines for the program. When those are in place, we will meet with Peter Freyne to discuss the guidelines and whether we will be able to work together in future. "I regret that we handled this situation very poorly. The steps we are taking to clarify our guidelines are intended to prevent a recurrence..." Stay tuned, folks. Censorship by any other name smells just as bad.® E-mail Peter at InsideTrackVT@aol. com

'HIGHER' INDEED Relix magazine, the jam-band bible, is honoring its readers with a celebratory bash Friday night at Higher Ground. Incoming jets over the Winooski airspace may experience some patchouli-cloud turbulence as the "subscribers party" lures loyal locals. Here's the deal: Every person who currently has a subscription to the mag automatically gets into the show for free. Of course, this isn't a reading party; tunes will be provided by former Strangefolk frontman Reid

Genauer and on-the-rise grooverockers Raq. Genauer has been touring endlessly since splitting from the 'Folk last year. With a new album on the way — and a band featuring members of Percy Hill and Moon Boot

Lover, his stripped-dbwn sound is winning rave reviews. Raq's hard-edged jam-rock has attracted its own share of accolades around town. Look for a review of their debut album, Shed Tech, on these pages soon. Get more info on the Relix show at www.relix.com/party higherground. For those unable to get to the gig, the concert will be broadcast live on the Web by Digital Club Network, (www.dcn.com). And those sorry-ass folks who have yet to sign on to the Relix list will get a full year of issues included in the cost of a ticket. Win-win! SPRING ENTRAIN-ING Local

singer-songwriter/percussionist Chad Hollister, namesake of

pop-rockers Chad, has been invited to join the world/jam collective Entrain for some spring touring. Hollister became tight with the Martha's Vineyard-based group on previous touring dates and eventually began jamming with them. Following the departure of lead vocalist/guitarist Brian Alex ear-

lier this year, Entrain was left shopping around for permanent replacement players. They asked Hollister and keyboardist Alex Howland to officially join up. "I am excited to be in the band and look forward to writ-

ing with the guys soon," claims Hollister. "There is so much more you can do with a band than you can just sitting in a room with an acoustic guitar." Ain't it the truth? "I'm going to take the Entrain thing as long as it seems right, but I am definitely still pursuing my solo career," Hollister declares, adding that more Chad releases will come in the future. "This is really just another leg of my journey." The new Entrain line-up rolls into Burlington Thursday with The South Catherine Street Jug

Band at Higher Ground. BOOKER "T" After staging shows up and down the East Coast for seven years as owner of thebookingagency.com, Tom Baggott has merged his Burlington-based operation with the national agency Skyline Booking. One of the country's "small major" agencies, Skyline features a diverse roster of clients, including The Samples, Michelle Shocked, George Winston and Victor Wooten. As

a member of the Skyline team, Baggott's new responsibility lies in the booking and day-to-day relations of Skyline clients in a territory stretching from Ontario to Virginia. A long-time local, Baggott moved his business to Atlanta three years ago. Late last summer, Skyline came knocking with its offer to join the larger collective. Plans were delayed after 9/11, however, and it was just last month that the merger became official. One new job perk for Baggott: Joining Skyline has allowed him to settle back in the Queen City. "One of the great things about booking is that it doesn't really matter where you are based," Baggott comments from his downtown office. "I missed the Green Mountains. It's great to be back."

SEVEN DAYS

Ominous Seapods. N o w back

to pursuing a solo career, Monteith has a return engagement this week at the club where both he and the Seapods got their musical start. While a student at Plattsburgh State, Monteith's open-mike gigs allowed him to meet many like-minded musicians, including Seapods cofounder Max Verna. After founding that band in 1988, Monteith and company spent the next decade touring North America before splitting up due to "creative differences." Monteith began to strip down his sound and try it out with acoustic shows throughout the Northeast. His new songs are rife with "twang and integrity" says Monteith, who's working on his debut solo album. "I've been listening to a lot of Gram Parsons, Steve Earle and

Johnny Cash lately," he explains. "My new songs are voice and guitar, telling tales of love, loss and redemption." This Thursday, Monteith demonstrates his new Americana leanings — and some Seapods classics — at the Monopole. On a related note, Percy Hill d r u m m e r Aaron KatZ has

also left jam-rock — and the band — behind. The chief songwriter for Percy, Katz decided to step out from behind the kit and go solo. Supporting tunes from his debut disc, Simplest Warrior, Katz and a new backing band bring their new sound to Valencia this Wednesday. WOE, DUDES Burlington's premier post-rockers Cancer Conspiracy didn't have the smoothest ride on their first national tour last month. While making a beeline for the SXSW music festival in Ausin, Texas, their van broke down somewhere outside of St. Louis. After depleting their funds in a futile attempt to get the vehicle rolling, CC arrived in Austin with a rental full of gear, empty pockets and slightly damaged egos. They managed to rock the Texas crowd, then hit the road back East. It was in New York, a few days later, that the boys awoke to find their replacement vehicle, along with about $15,000 worth of instruments and equipment, had been stolen. Now back home, Cancer Conspiracy

are recuperating and trying to replace everything in time for another tour this month with jam kings Lake Trout. Any good Samaritans who want to help them by donating equipment — or who have any knowledge of the robbery — can contact the band via their NY publicist at 718-351-2801. Good luck, guys! DO GOOD DEPT. Local countryblues singer Charlie Messing and formerly local folkie Dana Robinson put in their time and tunes for Montpelier's once and future Pyralisk Arts Center this Sunday at the capital city's Unitarian Church. Bring a 10buck donation and something for the potluck. SINGLE TRACKS Hey, kids, the

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv JAKE IDE, LULLABYES (self-released, CD) — Jake Ide makes music for the dark hours of the day. His tunes are haunting and unpredictable shoegazer folk, with lulling melodies and broken-heart tales. On his debut album, Lullabyes, the 25-year-old Burlington musician takes a break from his role as bassist for alt-rockers Rock and Roll Sherpa to focus on his own tales of woe. Though the instrumentation — acoustic guitar, vocals, bits of piano and organ — on the album is jaUe irie. lullabtjEs. deceptively simple, the sound is hollow and cold, almost digitally bleak. Instead of cloaking his compositions in layers of extraneous noise, Ide strips the tunes down, transforming love songs into shivery, dreamy laments. The entire eight-track collection breezes by with hardly a change in emotion, yet Ide * * f is not out to peddle anything but blue. The shortest song on Lullabyes is four minutes; most are around six, allowing ample time for the melancholy to sink in. "Drop Down," the opener, is filled with unintentionally reverby piano and Ide's Thom Yorke-like pained vocals. "Burn Baby Burn" is about as upbeat as he gets — bluesy guitar licks give way to gentle Wurlitzer piano chords and Ides almost optimistic recitation of the songs title phrase. Ide has a grainy, raw, emotional voice and yet, oddly enough, it is the element that works least well on Lullabyes. The instrumentals are subtly beautiful, and Ides guitar playing is inventive, but his voice doesn't always match the songs he sings. Basically, he has a rock voice; it's easier to imagine him exercising his pipes on stage than softly crooning in the dark. However, the tunes here are most definitely the post-bar depression variety. Still, at certain points on Lullabyes — such as on the closer, "Sleep" — Ide finds common ground between his evocative, powerful voice and his sensitive, sentimental songs. Ide is a solid songwriter, and boasts impressive guitar skills that make Lullabyes an interesting listen. Next time your mood takes a swing for the worse, pop Lullabyes in the disc player and wallow in Ide's world. Check it out Saturday at The Space in Burlington, with Ryan Power. Ethan Covey DEMOLITION STRING BAND, PULLING UP ATLANTIS (Okra-Tone, CD) — The 13 songs on Demolition String Band's sophomore release, Pulling Up Atlantis, combines country, rock 'n' roll, swing and pop music, all without sounding contrived. It isn't surprising that the band has come out of the diverse New York City scene rather than Nashville, a place with more rigid expectations of what country should sound like. DSB is the pet project of singer Elena Skye and guitarist Bop Reiner. Skye has a distinctive vocal style that is twangy, sassy and adept at the hard-loving tunes that are all over Pulling Up Atlantis. Reiner is a flat picker with a butt-kicking style that makes rock and country seem not so different after all. With a versatile rhythm section anchored by drummer Louis Appel and bassist Winston Roye, Reiner seamlessly maneuvers between foot-stomping and swinging numbers. All the songs on Pulling Up Atlantis are originals, except for an inspired, highoctane version of Madonna's "Like A Prayer." Although more of a novelty than anything else, DSB s adaptation is entertaining. Skye's delivery is heartfelt, though it seems rushed, like she's racing to keep up with the frantic pace. The treat is to hear Reiner translate the pop melody into a rollicking honky-tonk tune. Its a raucous number sure to please a barroom crowd, even if it isn't the strongest material on the album. Demolition are at their best when Skye employs her full range as a singer. On the title track, her voice rises when singing about bringing up the sunken city and falls when imagining herself lost in the sea. Her dream-like delivery perfectly suits the subject and is complemented by Reiner's deep, mythic lines on electric guitar. The songs soft sway gives you the feeling of being out at sea for a long time. Another highlight is the rowdy first track, "Garden of Love." The intro showcases some of Reiner's best rocking country licks, driven by a swinging rockabilly beat. Skye sings with the attitude and seduction of a hillbilly Eve tempting you to join her in the garden, and it makes you want to stay awhile. The Demolition String Band bring their howlin' hootenanny to Club Metronome this Friday. ® —Jason King

ne of my coworkers has this phrase that he overuses. "As a for instance," he says, and then goes on to give you an illuminating example. You can count on hearing that phrase a dozen times if he's giving a speech. Sorry, Hank, but I'm using you "as a for instance" this time. You see, Hank's problem reminds me of a skit by The Kids in the Hall, 1 the popular Canadian comedy troupe coming to Burlington next week, j In it, a geeky worker is called in to his supervi^ sor's office and told that some of the other workers have been complaining about him. Their frustration stems from 1 this employee's overuse of the word "ascertain." The guy just cannot complete a sentence without somehow working it in. And to see him struggle to find an alternative word, his brow quivering in the effort, well, that's just entertainment. It may not be your cup of tea, to be sure. If you're offended by the thought of a comedy skit called "Hitler [blanks] a Donkey," then avoid the show at all costs. And if you see no comedic potential in the Chicken Lady and the Bearded Lady at a strip club, then you are in a different cultural category than these guys. Fortunately for the Kids, they have plenty of company in the slightly deranged department. Born as a live theater group in Toronto in the 1980s, Kids in the Hall — whose name derived from a recurring Jack Benny line — was "discovered" by "Saturday Night Live" producer Lome Green. He helped them create a popular skit show that ran for years on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The publicly funded network tried cen-

soring the more offensive material but apparently gave up after a while. One skit that may have hit home for many Canadians was called "Screw you, taxpayer!" In it, the cast members demonstrated, with a chart, how tax dollars were supporting asinine comedy bolstered by insanely expensive props. How can you not love that? Many of those props were wigs. There must have been

resist — Mark McKinney's bestknown character is a bespectacled man who lines up people in the distance between his thumb and index finger. "I am crushing your head!" he says with glee, bringing his digits together in a clear case of cold-blooded "murder." Of course, he meets another head crusher on the streets, and a battle ensues. "I guess if you're going to be funny, it's going to be with what

thousands, as virtually every story involved a man dressed as a woman. Scott Thompson does a spot-on Queen Elizabeth, but can also do a fantastic redneck hockey fan. He is also gay, and loves to play the flamboyant flamer Buddy Cole, a politically incorrect lounge philosopher whose gags go right for the jugular. "I could do only one voice as a kid," says Thompson on a documentary video. "Count Chocula." Obviously he's learned a few tricks since then. On the other side of the gender equation are some of the tough guys played by Bruce McCulloch. His version of an impassioned Doors fan might remind you of the mullet head next door. "I love rock music, but I also know how stupid it is," he notes. What gives the Kids their edge is this odd combination of love for and blatant mockery of their characters, who are often just a touch mental. As a for instance — sorry, Hank, couldn't

you grew up with," says Kevin McDonald. "We grew up in mundane suburbia, as it were, and that's our 'funny.'" While their TV show ended in 1994, The Kids in the Hall have remained active. They made a feature movie called Brain Candy in 1996, and their 2000 live tour inspired another tour this year. Dave Foley is probably the best known of the group, for his role in "News Radio" and bit parts in other TV shows like "Just Shoot Me" and "The Tick." Thompson also appears regularly in places as disparate as "The Weakest Link," an Alan is Morissette video and "Politically Incorrect." McKinney did time on SNL, the comedic equivalent of going from the New York Yankees to the Toledo Mud Hens. But that's just my opinion. The irreverence, wit and energy of these funny five have earned them a cult following. Which will no doubt be out in force at Memorial Auditorium next week. Sound like fun? Ascertain for yourself. ®

PANIC ROOM***172

The past 12 months have seen a string of filmmaking brainiacs kick back and downshift into mindless fun mode. Steven Soderberg, for 1993-2001 example, followed the ambitious Traffic with the breezy Oceans Eleven. Now here comes David Fincher, master of the dark and labyrinthine psychological thriller, with Panic Room, a heart-pumper about as cerebral as a couple hours on a Coney Island rollercoaster — and just as much fun. 79 W .

Problem #2: The safe is in the panic room. Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto and Dwight Yoakam costar as the intruders. Whitaker wants to bag the break-in once he realizes the mother and daughter are home. The other two aren't quite so concerned. Leto's a black-sheep relative of the dead guy who used to live in the brownstone. The only way he's going to inherit anything is to get his hands on it before anyone else in his family does. Yoakam plays the dark heart of the film, a mysterious character named Raoul who shows up for work with a ski mask, bulletproof vest, Everyone has a automatic pistol and extremely bad attitude.

ATTACK ON BLACK RIVER:

w h y do some towns go mad? In 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, was paranoid about witchcraft. In 1951, the populace of Pont-St. Esprit in France began wildly hallucinating after eating moldy bread. But nobody has ever been able to explain what triggered a bizarre decade in Black River Falls, a Wisconsin hamlet overtaken by disease, disaster and self-destruction at the end of the 19th century. Wisconsin Death Trip is a 1973 book by Michael Lesy that chronicles the way random fate — diphtheria, smallpox, famine, economic decline, foul weather — coincided with a mass "psychosis" in a little Midwestern town plagued by murder, suicide, arson, incest, mental illness, religious fanaticism and ghost sightings. The cult bestseller inspired British filmmaker James Marsh to shoot a 1999 documentary of the same name that will be screened Thursday at St. Michael's College. Both Lesy and Marsh will be on hand to answer questions about their efforts. The subject matter — and controversy surrounding both the booic and the film — may be a bit of a departure for the Colchester college. "This is a pretty conservative private Catholic school, and the documentary is a little offbeat in terms of our usual mainstream cultural fare on campus," acknowledges Bob Niemi, an associate English professor who organized the event primarily for the genre-film class he's teaching this semester. "I thought my students might have fun seeing the film and meeting a live filmmaker. It's probably a little foolhardy on my part. . . I went off the deep end." Niemi's confession may make Wisconsin Death Trip sound even more enticing to cineastes fascinated by the dark underbelly of the American psyche. Black River Falls, settled by Scandinavian and German pioneers, was supposedly much like any other small enclave of the time — until 1890, when chaos took hold. Some suspected Satan had a hand in it.

NEGLECTED r NURTURED?

I remember the book's eerie appeal, but have never caught up with the film, which does not seem ro be available in local video stores. Both the printed account and the celluloid production have generated-strong reactions. T h e Village Voice slammed author Lesv's "taste for freak-show gothic"; TV Guide suggested the movie's "bleak, off-kilter wit" makes it "the hellish flip-side to Little House on the Prairie"; Variety hailed the flick as "a Victorian Twin Peaks." While a graduate student at Rutgers University in the early 1970s, Lesy discovered an archive of haunting black-and-white photographs that depict the Wisconsin town's decline. He matched the pictures to articles in The Badger State Banner and to records from the nearby Mendota

This hidden history became Lesy's doctoral dissertation before it was published, to great acclaim, in the waning days of Richard Nixon's administration. Critics at the time suspected a parallel. What took place in Wisconsin Falls 83 years earlier was seen as a kind of template for the "national nervous breakdown," as journalist Walter Lippmann once described the Vietnam era. Be that as it may, the film takes a more contemporary approach than the book. Marsh added edgy color footage of the town as it exists in todays Wal-Mart world order. He incorporates the old photos and clippings, but also dramatizes certain aspects of the story. Ian Holm narrates the proceedings as an Englishman named Frank Cooper, who covered the strange saga for the Banner. Lesser-known actors portray a schoolteacher who snorts cocaine and smashes windows, an opera singer who fades from fame into dementia, and a teen-age boy who kills an old man for kicks before engaging in a series of gun battles with the Black River Falls posse. The movie, financed by BBC and Cinemax, is not without gallows humor. But Marsh appears to be a man with a mission. All of his previous work smacks of the macabre: The Last Supper, about the final meals requested by men on death row; Troubleman, which traces the murder of soul singer Marvin Gaye by his father, a fundamentalist preacher and occasional transvestite; The Burger and the King, an exploration of Elvis Presley's favorite foods; and The Trials of the Animals, a look at the common practice of prosecuting troublesome fauna in medieval Europe. Niemi apparently can relate, owning up to his admiration for Wisconsin Death Trip as "my own little eccentricity." (Z) Wisconsin Death Trip will be screened Thursday, April 4, at 7 p.m. McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael's College, Colchester. The event is free and open to the public. Info, 654-2536.

Dear Cecil, What's the deal with suttee? For years I've been hearing that in India, widows are routinely thrown on funeral pyres alive. Is this just propaganda,? And if not, is it just unpopular widows that it happens to? Since most men die before women, do all children burn their mom alive as a matter of course? Hindus seem so peaceful! — Mugg Mellish via the Internet They do, eh? Then you haven't been reading the newspapers. Suttee, properly known as sati, was officially banned by the British in 1829 but has never been completely stamped out. About 40 cases have been reported since Indian independence in 1947, mostly in the northwest state of Rajasthan, home of the traditional Rajput warrior caste. One instance in 1987 became a cause ciltbre, with some Indian women, believe it or not, demanding the right to immolate themselves. Gives new meaning to that old Hindu chant, I'm a Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love. No one knows how suttee started, or for that matter where or when. It's not unique to India — widow suicide is known to have occurred among the Egyptians, Chinese, Vikings and others. Some say its origin on the subcontinent dates back 5500 years, while others believe it arrived much later, around 1 AD. I've heard Indians deny there's anything specifically Hindu about it, in that it doesn't figure in Hinduism's core texts. Today it's most closely associated with remote villages dominated by the Rajputs. Suttee is different from "bride burning," in which a newly married Indian woman is burned to death by her in-laws for failing to meet demands for a larger dowry, the traditional gift given to the couple by the bride's parents. Thousands of such murders have been reported. In contrast, suttee

is a voluntary act, theoretically at least, meant to atone for the couple's sins and ensure their reunion in the afterlife. But horrified Indian feminists say that in practice the suttee victim often had little choice. Sometimes family members, including other women, browbeat her into it; sometimes she was bound or hopped up on drugs. Much of the time even that wasn't enough. It's said music was played at high volume during suttee so no one could hear the widow's screams. Many explanations for suttee have been offered, the most obvious being that it's simply a male-centered culture's way of eliminating unwanted women. Traditionally Indian widows can't remarry and many spend the balance of their lives penniless. Others say it's a peculiar excess of the Rajputs. In times gone by, the warlike Rajputs lost a lot of men in combat, leaving a lot of widows without support. But whereas their Muslim foes dealt with the problem through polygamy, the Rajputs were said to be strictly monogamous. If you can't marry off your surplus women, this line of thinking goes, the obvious alternative is to set them afire. Another take on it is that the women killed themselves rather than submit to their Muslim conquerors. The best-known case of suttee in modern times involved the 1987 suicide (or murder) of 18-year-old Roop Kanwar. Educated, middle-class, devoutly

religious, Kanwar had been married for just eight months when her husband died, apparently from a burst appendix. The following day, neighbors told Western reporters, she put on jewels and her wedding sari, climbed her husband's funeral pyre, cradled his head on her lap, then commanded that the fire be lit. By the time the cops arrived she and her husband had been reduced to ashes. About three dozen bystanders were arrested and charged in the death, but no eyewitnesses would testify, and after a nine-year legal battle the accused were exonerated. Much of the world was outraged, but some traditionalists venerate Roop as, literally, a deity — the model Hindu woman. Were the law against suttee repealed, more women would probably join their husbands on the pyre. In 1997 the police were all that prevented another Indian woman from incinerating herself. To hear some Hindu fundamentalists talk, the prohibition against suttee violates a basic civil right. Sure, East is East and West is West and all that. (In fairness, it should be said that many Indians were appalled by the whole affair.) The odd commonality — and let's set aside questions of right or wrong here — is that when a woman in either hemisphere exercises her right to choose, somebody (or something) winds up dead. — CECIL ADAMS

disablebodied Choreographing for crutches may sound like a stretch, but Bill Shannon has turned it into an art form that blends breakdancing, skateboarding and kinetic body sculpture. Disabled since age 5 with a rare degenerative form of arthritis, Shannon was determined to be a dancer. So he took matters into his own hands — and a few gravitydefying props. "I don't dance my limitations, I dance the possibilities,' says the performer provocateur dubbed "Crutch Master" by New York City's hip-hop community. » His four sold-out shows explore the elegance of awkwardness without a trace of sentimentality. Bill "Crutchmaster" Shannon. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 4, 5 & 6. FlynnSpace, Burlington. See calendar for times. $16. Info, 863-5966.

moon shines It sounds like a French Canadian version of Contact. A man coping with the death of his mother turns his attention heavenward to ask the fundamental question: Are we alone? Theater artist Robert Lepage tells the story of a tortured telemarketer obsessed with lunar landings. Critics have likened his character to a combination of Woody Allen and Glenn Gould. His solo story unfurls against a backdrop of space-travel history, multimedia sets and an otherworldly score by Laurie Anderson. You can get to "Far Side of the Moon" by heading for Hanover.

sOUnd

"The Far Side of the Moon." Friday and Saturday, April 5 & 6. Moore Theater, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 8 p.m. $28. Info, 603-646-2422.

trail and error

stuck in the mud , We haven't seen much moisture this winter, which may leave "mudology" students high and dry. But chances are that a walk around the Green Mountain Audubon Center will turn up enough of the brown stuff to make mud monsters, an array of mud parfaits and what organizers call a track trap. "You scratch out an area and put some goodies in the middle, and overnight a lot of animals come to visit," says Bridget Butler. W h e n it comes to animal education, their m u d - m a d e mark, ings are the next best thing to fossils. A "Mudology" Family Program. Saturday, W April 6. Green Mountain Audubon Center, * Huntington, 10-11:30 a.m. $8. Info, 434-3068.

Thinking about hiking the Long Trail this summer? The best way to give the haul your all is by consulting with those who have gone the distance. End-to-enders will be on hand at an info session that covers mail drops, water purification procedures, dry-sock strategies and other handy hiking tips. Maybe veteran trekker Bob Northrup will make an appearance — after countless miles walking Vermont mountains, he knows there is no substitute for shoe leather. End-to-Ender's Workshop. Wednesday, April 10. Green Mountain Club, Waterbury, 6:30-9 p.m. $12. Info, 244-7037.

Guiseppe Verdi was no stranger to loss. His wife and two children died before his first big operatic hit, Nabucco, launched his composing career. But his 1874 Requiem was written in honor of the poet Alessandro Manzoni, who sent all of Italy into mourning when he passed away. The Burlington Choral Society sings the epic piece to celebrate its continuing survival — 25 years —under the direction of David Neiweem. Rochelle Ellis is replacing Margaret Cusack, who was originally scheduled to sing the soprano part.

jjEj And you thought things were tense in the Middle East. An expert on Jewish women in the Greco-Roman era O aims to settle a really old score with a lecture entitled "Rehabilitating Salome: Blaming Jewish Women for the J ! Death of John the Baptist." Professor Ross Shepard Kraemer has written extensively on Jewish women in antiquity, "their religious life, what they read, what they did in synagogues," says Larry Yarbrough, a religion prof at Middlebury College. By focusing on conflicting c^i accounts of the famous beheading, she "is exploring | | some of the tensions between Judaism, emerging xs Christianity and the Roman world," he says. Bring your Bible.

Verdi's Requiem. Saturday, April 6. Ira Allen Chapel, UVM, Burlington, 6:30 p.m. $15. Info, 656-3085.

"1 believe print is the best advertising tool and Seven Days is the best resource for carrying out our ad campaigns. I usually query new customers as to where they found out about us and Seven Days is often the answer. In fact, many of our customers cut out our Seven Days ads and hang them on the fridge for future reference. Seven Days is a class act, from the salespeople to the graphics folks and everybody in between."

as the world leans and tilts, shifts her hips, lifts hills into mountains, shakes to the song that wakes fossils from their prehistoric, shale sleep. Children bake mud pies in the driveway. They don't know the danger of being inside a child's body. A lone robin splashes in the thawing bath in the back yard.

• legals • carpool • not for kids • legals On January 18, 2002, the District #4 Environmental Commission Coordinator (Coordinator) issued Jurisdictional Opinion #4175-02 (JO) in which he determined that the construction of four single-family residence and two duplexes, and related subdivision, in Burlington, Vermont (the Project) requires land use permit pursuant to 10 V.S.A. §§ 6001-6092 (Act 250). On February 28, 2002, the Coordinator issued a Reconsideration of J0#4-17502, affirming the JO. On March 19, 2002, green Mountain Habitat, Inc. and Burlington Housing Authority (Petitioners) filed a Petition for Declaratory ruling with the Environmental Board (Board), appealing the JO pursuant to 10 V.S.A. § 6007(c) and Environmental Board Rule (EBR) 3. The Petitioners contend that the Project does not require an Act 250 permit. The Chair of the Board, or her duly authorized delegate, will meet with the parties and those seeking to participate as parties, or their representatives, at a prehearing conference on Thursday, April 18, 2002 at 10:00 a.m. at the Environmental Board's Conference Room, National Life Records Center Building, National Life Drive, Montpelier, Vermont. (Take exit 8 off of 1-89 onto Memorial Drive, then turn right at the first set of lights onto National Life Drive. The Records center building is at the east end of the parking lot, separate from the main National Life buildings). If

you have a disability for which you need an accommodation, please notify the Board in advance. If you wish to participate as a party in this matter but cannot attend the prehearing conference, you must file written notice with the Board by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, 2002. At the conference or in your written notice, you must identify the issues you intend to address and the witnesses and exhibits that you intend to present at any hearing in this matter. For further information concerning your rights and obligations in board proceedings see EBR 14 Parties and Appearances. If you do not appear at the prehearing conference or notify the Board in writing as required above and you are not a statutory party, you shall be deemed, without a demonstration of good cause to the contrary, to have waived all rights to further notice of the proceeding and/or party status in this matter.

SEVEN DAYS

page 33b

ology

April 3 - A p r i l 10 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I'm thankful that 2002 is turning out just as I predicted: the year of your homecoming. Many of you have the blueprints for your dream home or are well on your way to creating a rich new sense of community. Virtually all of you have deepened your understanding of what your mission is here on planet Earth. That alone has made you feel less restless and more at home than you've ever been. Next step: Update any tradition that has lost its emotional power.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Scientists say that if you're normal, it would take a solid month of yelling at the top of your lungs to generate enough energy to boil water for a pot of tea. But you're not exactly normal these days. Your anger is of a higher quality than usual and your ability to channel it isformore concentrated. You could probably heat up three cups of Earl Grey with a mere eight hours of hollering. But might I talk you into making more productive uses of such primal force? You could, for instance, actually change the circumstances that are pissing you off.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Ancient Chinese astrologers believed that 70 percent of all omens were bad. There's never been a survey of their modem Western counterparts, but a majority of them also focus on doom and gloom. Fortunately, a few'astrological mavericks like me, Caroline Casey, Antero Alii and Ellias Lonsdale are conjuring up a tradition of boom and zoom. I believe we are the wave of the future. Would you care to join our cause, Gemini? It's prime time for you to get the hang of expecting the best. "Can you afford not to make/the magical study/which happiness is?" (Thanks to poet Charles Olson for asking that potent question.) ES. To nominate,an astrologer or prophet you know for our Boom and Zoom Hall of Fame, write us at www.freewillastrology.com.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The astrological omens suggest that it's Special Dispensation Week for you Crabs. Dull karmic necessity will be taking a break in your vicinity. An oppressive rule of thumb is ripe for one of its periodic exceptions. I suspect you'll be given at least partial exemptions from several ponderous cosmic regulations — perhaps even the law of gravity itself. Not only are you likely to get clearance toflyin your dreams far more than usual. I bet you'll also receive unexpected boosts from unseen helpers whenever you attempt quantum leaps of faith. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): I've channeled many first-class spirits in my time, like Thomas Jefferson and John Keats and Virginia Woolf. So I was confused and annoyed when I woke up this morning with the voice of Barbie in my groggy head. "I refuse to channel a plastic doll with an impossiblefigure!"I moaned. But Barbie was undeterred. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful," she cooed. "Go ahead," I sighed, burying my face in my pillow. "I am a Leo," she began, "and like many members of my tribe, I'm a little too dependent on my charisma. My charm can become an excuse for laziness. But no more. This April, I will be Adventurer Barbie fulltime. I will be Astronaut Barbie and Safari Leader Barbie and Himalaya Expedition Barbie. Tell my fellow Lions I dare them to follow my lead." Oddly, I have to admit that her advice jibes with your astrological omens.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The "Consumer Education for Teens" Web site has helpful hints for anyone contemplating a new tattoo. For instance, artists at most parlors won't brand you with the name of your

lover unless you agree to have it done in green or red. That way, if romance ever fades, it'll be relatively easy to convert the now offensive name into the image of a flower. While I admire the farsightedness of such a policy, I must note that it tends to undermine the tattoo recipient's faith in the longterm viability of the relationship. This is exactly the kind of subtle sabotage you should eschew in the coming weeks as you rev up your undying devotion to a beautiful cause. I advise you to do the metaphorical equivalent of getting that tattoo done in all the colors of the rainbow.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A muse may be a provocative person or a lyrical spirit or the mysterious voice of an autonomous part of your own brain. Each of us has one. Poets and musicians may be in more conscious contact with theirs, but with a little work anyone can access their personal source of creative inspiration. I bring this up, Libra, because it's a perfect moment to upgrade your relationship with your muse. If the current officeholder is unwilling to undertake a deeper, hotter collaboration with you, consider handing him or her a pink slip and seeking out a more enthusiastic candidate.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I had never played a video game until recently. Then I bought "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Having heard that vicious mayhem characterizes most games, I've been pleased to find that I don't have to kill anyone as I help Harry navigate his way through a series of non-violent conflicts. Even more delightful is how closely his experiences mirror the game of life. Harry and I sometimes have to repeat a lesson 20 times before we master it. There's no guide-

book to study, so we have to figure everything out through trial and error. Best of all: The rules keep changing. What works to get us through one tight spot isn't necessarily relevant in the next one. Sound familiar, Scorpio? This is an apt description of your current situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To paraphrase French poet Charles Baudelaire: "Genius is nothing more or less than childhood recovered — a childhood now equipped for self-expression with an adult's capacities." I thought I'd dangle this tempting notion in front of you now that you're so close to the fountain of youth. Maybe it'll encourage you to slurp, not just sip from those healing waters. Between gulps, you might want to wail the chorus of Bob Dylan's song "My Back Pages": "I was so much older then/I'm younger than that now."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): In Ruth Manning-Sanders' fairy tale "The Small-Toothed Dog," a homely male dog saves a wealthy man from thieves. In gratitude, the man asks the dog what reward he'd like. "Will you accept a fish that speaks 12 languages?" he says. "Or a goose that lays golden eggs? Or a mirror in which you can see what anyone is thinking?" The dog refuses them all and leaves, promising to return soon to deliver his ultimate request. In the end, the man's daughter gives the dog what he wants most: her hand in marriage. In so doing, she frees him from a curse and he changes into a handsome prince. I urge you to make this your guiding myth for a few weeks, Capricorn. Don't grab the first bait that's offered. Hold out for what

you really want.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20IFeb. 18): I don't take drugs, but I've always known people who do. I've noticed a curious evolution among the experimenters in recent years: It has become unusual for them to take just one substance at a time. Some of the many blends I've seen include Prozac and pot, "smart" drinks and vodka, No-Doz and Valium. This is amazing to me. One mind-altering blast isn't enough? I suppose it's just another symptom of the larger cultural trend towards multi-tasking, like people who eat • breakfast and gab on cell phones while driving, or who ricochet among three different sexual partners. All this is meant to serve as context for your oracle this week, Aquarius, which is: Concentrate on one reality at a time. Avoid mixing and matching.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The astrological powers-that-be have declared this Figure Out Your Game Plan Week. You have a cosmic mandate to slip away from the vision-narrowing routine and climb to the mountaintop — or at least to a mountaintop perspective. There I predict you will receive the exhilarating benefits of viewing the big picture from on high. You will prune away all but one goal, pledge to devote yourself to it utterly, and formulate a stepby-step strategy to achieve total victory by next December. You can call Rob day or night

Am I pulled to his friend because I want my freedom, or should I take these feelings seriously? Huge Heart in Hinesburg Dear Huge, you know yourself better than you think. It's time to declare your independence. Overcoming your dependence on your boyfriend by becoming dependent on his good friend won't get you where you want tc go. It will only impede your growth and cause unnecessary hurt. Make a clean break, and once you've learned tc be truly on your own, you'll be able to hear your huge heart more clearly.
