A week before the election, he bungee-jumped from a helicopter hovering 5000 feet above a crowd of 15,000. Although the stunt sent his popularity soaring in opinion polls, he lost to Estela Roca de Azuaje when 70 percent of the voters stayed home. "Sometimes," Mosqueda said, "excitement and popularity aren't enough to win."

* The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), an Arkansas-based group dedicated to helping the poor, filed suit against California on the grounds that the states minimum wage is too high. Wade Ret like, ACORN's chief organizer, contends that under California's minimum-wage law, the national welfare-rights group would be "forced to hire fewer workers." And because the ones it did hire would be earning the states $4.25-per-hour minimum wage, they "will be less sympathetic with ACORN's low- and moderate-income constituency and will therefore be less effective advocates."

Runners and other four-wheeldrive off-road vehicles risk having them seized by the military. All private vehicles over a certain size and weight — and sport utility vehicles qualify — must be registered with the Israel Defense Force, which can conscript them in case of war or another emergency, Even in peacetime, owners must periodically report with their vehicles for call-up exercises. According to the London Financial Times, the military used to concern itself only with trucks and buses, but as sport utility vehicles have become popular urban status symbols, the military views them as ideal command vehicles for the deserts and mountains around Israel's borders.

tipped." The CPSC sought voluntary labeling because at least 37 people have been killed and 113 injured in soda machine accidents since 1978. The vending machine industry, which acceded to CPSC's voluntary labeling campaign to avoid government regulation, denied there is a problem, noting that the vending machines, weighing up to a ton, almost never fall over without human help, someone either trying to steal mfoney, get a free drink or beat up. a machine that took the styioney but gave nothing in return. -Tf a persons going to tip it over," JUrry Eils, director of health and safety for the National Automatic Merchandising Association, "no warning label is going to stop them." • Auto insurers announced they are eliminating discounts for cars equipped with anti-lock brakes after concluding the safety devices do not significantly reduce accidents. The problem isn't so much the brakes themselves as it is human nature defeating technology. Drivers, who were taught to pump brakes to avoid skidding, continue to pump anti-lock brakes, although they shouldn't, thereby increasing stopping distances. Other people drive faster and take more risks because they believe that anti-lock brakes will stop them sooner, according to insurers. The move to end discounts angered some auto industry officials, who noted that they adopted the antilock technology in the first place only because insurance companies urged them to. •

Massaging us with a little brown snake oil, Leary then "proves" what most politicians claim — at least in non-election years: Things are better than ever. "The Congressional Budget Office estimates that living standards have increased by 20 percent in the last 20 years." He concludes by "reducing this explanation to utter simplicity so that the arithmetic is understandable" by the rest of us dumb non-Shinola heads. But I detect an un-Shinola smell.

Dear Cecil, It amuses me every year a) tax lime when a big deal is made of the midnight mailing deadline on April 15. Does the IRS have staff whose job if is to look at postmarks? Are they going to penalize all the returns filed on April 16? I find this hard to believe. I've often been tempted to hold my return tilt the 16th just to see what happens. Is this all an intimidation tactic by Big Brother? - D. Hansen, via the Internet Maybe, but it won't last. Pretty soon they'll stick a mind-control microchip up your nose and you'll file because you think you enjoy it. You're right, though: It doesn't really matter if you file your return a day or two late, forty percent of U.S. taxpayers - 40 million people - don't file their returns until the last week. For the first few days after April 15 the IRS is still getting truckloads of returns. An IRS spokesman candidly admits there's no way they can go through all that paperwork ferreting out schnooks who filed their returns 15 minutes or even a couple of days late. For all practical purposes, if you don't owe money or the IRS owes you, you don't have to file a return at all. Ail penalties and interest are figured as a percentage of what you owe; if you owe nothing the penalty for late filing is zero. Ho criminal sanctions, either. The IRS folks are pretty candid about admitting this, too, no doubt on the theory that only a moron would fail to file if he had money coming back. They do, of course, prefer that non-owers file, since the only way they can be sure you don't owe anything is to see your return. But if a non-filing non-ower decides to get right with the government and brings in a bunch of back returns, no prob, glad to have you back. Just one thing: If you had money coming on a return you filed more than three years late, tough luck, Charlie. You just helped retire a little piece of the national debt. If you do owe money, filing late (or never) is not such a hot idea. Penalties, interest, and maybe even criminal sanctions apply. Being a day or two late is no big deal, but the IRS figures a week ortyois enough for even the most disorganized postal districts to get the mail where it's supposed to go. Then things start getting ugly. If you're late and you owe, the P&l clock begins ticking as of the postmark date. But let's suppose it's April 15 and suddenly you realize, cripes, I owe two grand and I don't have enough cash to get cheese on my Whopper. What do I do? Assuming the criminal life doesn't appeal to you, you file and don't pay. The penalty for not filing is a stiff 5 percent of the amount owed per month (25 percent max), whereas the penalty for not paying is only 0.5 percent per month. Just keep the amount you owe to less than $10,000. If you do, the IRS puts you on an automatic installment plan. If it's more, you have to submit so much paperwork that the criminal life might start to look pretty good. QUESTIONS WE'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT I'm wondering if it is legal to hire one or more spouses (for either paid or volunteer positions) Instead of getting one through marriage. Can existing and often ridiculous marriage laws (e.g., polygamy, child custody, alimony, community property, etc.) be circumvented by such an arrangement? I Just don't like the occupational government telling me how to live my life, and I'm looking for ways to stay out of trouble with them until they are replaced. In my case, I would like to advertise for the position of "wife," interview and test applicants, "hire" the most qualified to do wifely tasks, keep them if they are worthy, and fire them if they're inadequate, with whatever they produce (e.g., kids) remaining with me. If done properly, with a contract, everyone would know what to expect and be happier (with less spousal abuse - people are often treated better by employers Jhan spouses). - PO Box, Adkinj, Texas

Still Crazy After All These Years? Isll Its been five months since Billy Greer, a.k.a "Billy the Kid" was the Seven Days cover boy. Back in November, federal prosecutors were expecting the trial of Greer and his remaining three co-defendants to take place in March. Now, according to David Kirby, chief of the criminal division at the U.S. Attorney's office in Burlington, it looks like the trial won't take place until late summer or early fall. The case has developed into a full-blown legal donnybrook with defense attorneys filing a host of pretrial motions that have kept prosecutors busy. And the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in soon on one of the key issues in the case — double jeopardy. But the one motion that doesn't pass the laugh test hit the deck February 27 when Greer's attorney, Bob Kalina, indicated his intention to "rely on the defense of insanity and to introduce expert testimony relating to a mental disease or defect or other mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt at trial." Of course! Billy had to be crazy. The devil made him do it! What else could explain how a former Rice High School football hero could end up masterminding a $1 billion hashish deal out of Amsterdam? Greer's insanity defense may be just a dodge to keep the prosecutors off-guard. After all, Kalina knows these waters well. He's a Park Avenue, New York defense lawyer who specializes in federal drug cases. To the U.S. government, Billy Greer and Stephen Hutchins are the major domos behind an international drug smuggling enterprise. They served four years in Canadian prisons for their role in the importation into Canada of 54 tons of hashish — the largest drug seizure in Canadian history. Upon their release they were led to the U.S. border where DEA agents arrested them. They're free on bail — Greer's is $1 million. The eight-count federal indictment charges everything from conspiracy to money laundering to foreign travel in the aid of a drug enterprise (Greer allegedly set up the deal in Holland). The most serious charge facing Greer and Hutchins is the operation of "a career criminal enterprise" — the penalty is a 20-years-to-life sentence. The indictment charges the pair with operating a drug-dealing operation throughout the 1980s. Six other defendants implicated in the Canadian hash deal have rolled over and cut deals with Uncle Sam. Another member of the team, Michael Johnson, was the first defendant caught by Quebec Police. Johnson charges that a Quebec provincial police officer, Pierre LeBeau, beat a confession out of him. One motion seeks permission to go up north and take LeBeau's deposition, since the government has not put him on their witness list. Johnson, meanwhile, is in the federal witnessprotection program. The defense attorneys have filed motions seeking to have him brought back to Burlington for a pretrial interview. "Mr. Johnson is the Government's 'star' and seminal witness in our case," writes Kalina, "and his credibility will be of paramount importance at the trial." Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Anderson J ^ p o s e s the request to depose LeBeau and

two Crown prosecutors, dubbing the defense motion "frivolous and if granted will result in nothing more than a colossal waste of time and money." A hearing on all 10 motions has been scheduled for May 1 before U.S. District Judge Bill Sessions. Among the 10 motions, two in particular could deal a fatal blow to the Government's case. One seeks dismissal for delay of prosecution. Defense lawyers argue the Government had all the evidence it needed back in 1991 when Greer and his cohorts were busted for the Canadian deal. But the U.S. charges weren't brought for four years. One of Greer's co-defendants, Greg Stevens, has moved for dismissal because, during that four-year delay, pay and shift records from the bar he worked at — the Chickenbone Cafe — were either destroyed or lost following the government seizure of the bar in an unrelated case. Those records, he argues in court documents, would establish his alibi. Another motion for dismissal raises the double-jeopardy issue. Citizens are constitutionally protected against double jeopardy — in a nutshell that means you can't be tried twice for the same offense — and you can't be punished twice for the same offense, either. Last year U.S. District Judge Franklin Billings threw out drug charges against a Vermont marijuana grower because the feds had already confiscated his property. Sorry, said Billings, you can't whack the guy again for the same crime. Taking his house was punishment enough, said Billings; you can't send him to jail on top of that. The matter is on appeal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments April 17 on a similar case coming out of California. Back in 1992, the U.S. government seized 18 acres of land Greer owned in Hinesburg. If the Supremes uphold the ruling of the lower court, Billy the Kid could be a free man. If not, this promises to be a very interesting trial come fall. Greer appears to be handling the pressure pretty well. His conditions of release require him to submit to random drug testing as well as remain in Chittenden County. But the court has a heart. Judge Sessions has granted Greer's request for permission to travel later this month to Florida with 14 family members. That's right, Billy the Kid, the guy the government says is the mastermind of the largest international drug smuggling operation ever to hit the Green Mountains, is going to Disney World. What nobody knows at this point — not Greer and his family nor the federal prosecutors — is whether it will be his last trip to the Magic Kingdom. Media Notes — With much fanfare The Burlington Free Press has heralded the arrival of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jeff Good as the new Montpelier bureau chief. Jeff graduated from St. Mike's in 1981. Back in those early days of the Sanderista revolution, his wife, Laura Dintino, was a waitron at Leunig's. Ah, fond 'memories. The Freeps takes pride in reporting that Jeff was a "reporting intern" at their paper, but there's no mention of the Free Press in his Pulitzer biography, while a certain local weekly is mentioned. You see, Jeff was a damn good reporter, but the Freeps wouldn't hire him to a staff job. So he went to work as associate editor at the bte, great Vermont Vanguard Press. The rest is history. • ^^^

Not for the squeamish: "development" of the Green Mountain State By

Ron

Powers

* can't think for very long about the Green Mountain State I these days — its contrasting "outer" and "inner" realities, JL and the degree of attention its denizens are willing to pay to these — without thinking of the essayist Annie Dillard's unforgettable, perhaps prophetic small green frog. Something rather nasty happened to that frog in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Dillard's accounting of it is not for the squeamish, and a lot of people I know don't like to read it. Something similarly nasty may be happening to Vermont as well — actually, a whole constellation of related things. People don't like to read about these things, either, and for oddly similar reasons. Brace yourself and let me tell you about the frog. Dillard spotted it one summer day on the edge of the island, half-submerged in a mudbank. Frogs were splashing into the water all around her, but not this one. He didn't jump. "I crept closer," Dillard wrote, and knelt on the grass, and stared at the frog in the creek. "He was a very small frog with wide, dull eyes. And just as I looked at him, he slowly crumpled and began to sag... His skin emptied and drooped... I watched the taut, glistening skin on his shoulders ruck, rumple and fall... it was a monstrous and terrifying 4 thing." •11 i Yes it was; but as Dillard showed, it was an entirely natural thing as well. The culprit was a common predator of frogs commonly called a "giant water bug" — in fact, a large heavy-bodied brown beetle. You really may not want to read the next part, if you harbor tender sensibilities about the insides of frogs, or communities. This particular beetle, Dillard tells us, seizes its victims from below with its mighty grasping forelegs and paralyzes it with enzymes injected during a bite. "That one bite," Dillard writes, "is the only bite it ever takes. Through the puncture shoot the poisons that dissolve the victim's muscles and bones and organs — all but the skin — and through it the giant water bug sucks out the victims body, reduced to a "juice." As I write this, Vermont is beginning to look very much, to

child wants to be sexual." Vermont still uses the controversial plethysmograph to assess sexual deviance — the Clockwork Orange-style sensor . that measures penile response to audio stimulation. The use of video images was abandoned several years ago. But it uses a "cognitive behavioral approach" to reform rapists. The goal is to get them to identify thoughts, feelings or other cues that historically lead them to offend. Boredom can be a trigger, Martin says. So can anger, depression or feeling isolated. "Some of it is teaching that person skills to learn how to control their behavior. The other part is getting them to feel empathy for the victim," Cumming says, noting treatment cannot begin until the offender takes some responsibility for his actions. The group therapy setting is very helpful in that regard, she says. Because offenders tend to be very manipulative, they can spot denial and "minimization" in each other.

wenty years ago, most people, including cops, thought men raped for sexual gratification. The definition was so restrictive, "the only person who could be raped was a virgin," Jacobs says. Vermont did not recognize marital rape until 1985 — eight states still don't. Until state sodomy laws were repealed, a woman violated by oral or anal means was considered an accessory to the crime. Today sexual assault is seen as a symptom of a serious psychological dysfunction, typically involving anger, insecurity and a feeling of powerlessness. Rape as an abuse of power predates Trojan times, when it was practiced post-battle. "You saw it again in the Serbo-Croatian conflict," says University of Vermont sociologist Robbie Kahn. "As an act of violence, rape has an ancient heritage." The women's movement brought sexual assault to the forefront, and with it valid questions about the way victims were being handled. "In the old days it was, 'What did he do to you?'" says Burlington Lieutenant Emmet Helrich. "Now we have first-responders — officers who are trained to deal with victims in a more compassionate fashion." He — and Jacobs — give high marks to the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations, a team of detectives specially trained to deal with vic : tims of county-wide sexual abuse based at Fort Ethan Allen. There is a special area for victims — 70 percent of their charges are juvenile — and the process is set up to minimize their trauma. Two of six staffers are women. "They understand that empowering victims is as important as successfully prosecuting the victimizer," Jacobs says. "It takes a personal effort and commitment on the part of each detective to re-examine their own attitudes and beliefs about men and women.

' "

Continued "In two decades we have gone from completely ignoring rape, to publicly taking notice in a way that sacrificed victims' privacy," Jacobs explains. "In reaction to that, we buried it again, trying to be respectful of victims and survivors. Now I think we are coming out in the open again with the emphasis where it needs to be: why men rape and how to stop them."

umming believes rapists can be successfully rehabilitated. Lieutenant Helrich seconds, "You have to trust the system." But ending rape is another matter — one that activists and sociologists into which may have better insight. "Men suffer in their own ways under patriarchy," Kahn asserts. "There are a whole set of human qualities designated to the male. He is to be strong, he is to be the bread-winner, he is not to show emotion. If men fear they are not as

exual offenders, like their victims, do not fit a particular profile. Some are criminally inclined, with long, grisly records. Others look like regular joes who, aside from their deviant behavior, would never dream of breaking the law. "You have some men who, when they rape women, may physically abuse them. Others will use no more force than necessary to complete the rape," says Georgia Cumming, who coordinates in- and outpatient sex-offender treatment programs for the State of Vermont. While acknowledging that many rapists have been abused as children, she stresses, "being victimized as a child does not cause you to offend as an adult."

Most rapes are planned in advance — an offender often asks for the time, or directions, as a pretext for approaching his victim. The vast majority objectify the women they rape, which therapists say allows them to inflict harm without remorse. Thinking errors, or distortions, further that reasoning, according to Gary Martin, a therapist who works with child molesters and flashers. "I had one guy with a long history of exhibitionism who absolutely believed that he was selectively choosing a woman who wanted to be flashed," he explains. Child molesters have the same problem. "When a kid sits in their lap, or shows affection, they read it that the

strong and powerful and competent as the society is requiring them to be, then it could get all mixed up with the idea of a conquest of a woman." Could it be coincidence that the United States has the highest sexual assault rate of any industrialized nation in the world and the greatest sexual and economic freedom for women? In traditional cultures, where sex roles are more defined, women are "safe" in their place as wives, mothers and daughters. Where those roles are challenged, sexual assault can be viewed as a backlash against feminism — gangrape, as a deviant form of male bonding. "Men have to help other men unlearn these behaviors," Oetjen says. 'We have to confront demeaning sexual humor. We have to confront

"I had one guy with a long history of exhibitionism who absolutely believed that he was selectively choosing a woman who wanted to be flashed." — Gary Martin Therapist, Sexual Offenders Program sexism and double standards wherever and whenever they occur. We have to stand up to other men, publicly. Men are notorious for their courage, but they have absolutely no courage when it comes to this." Women, too, play a part in their own victimization. Studies show women jurors are less compassionate toward female victims than their male counterparts. Their continued tolerance of objectification — as in advertising or strip joints — perpetuates the problem. But ultimately, as Oejten puts it, the problem is not theirs. And "men treat it as an extreme form of what other guys do." More chilling than our local stats are these: Eightyfour percent of all sexual assaults are committed by an acquaintance of the victim. Child molesters have an average of 76 victims. Try guarding against that with a can of pepper spray. "We have a predatory context for relationships that prevents men from connecting with women in a loving and trusting manner," Jacobs says. Until that changes, we are all the losers. •

10..1996

ver since Ira Allen built

sawmills on its banks in 1772, the Winooski River has been the lifeblood of the city that shares its name. Today, attention is again focused down by the riverside, as local officials finalize plans for a promenade that they hope will spark a second rebirth of the old mill town. Construction of Riverwalk, extending 300 feet along the Champlain Mill, is slated to start later this year or early next spring, with opening expected in the summer of 1997. Completion of this section of walkway will create a nearly half-mile-long, riveredge ribbon running from the Winooski One Hydro Park to the 120-acre natural area east of the Mill. This picturesque pedestrian link between the falls and rapids of the Winooski "will be an attractive draw for shopping, tourists, vendors and others who can contribute to our economic health," says Mayor William Norful. The segment to be cantilevered out from the Mill will probably be surfaced boardwalk-style, much like the lakeside strand in Burlington's Waterfront Park. Indeed, Norful is hoping that completion of Riverwalk will cause the region's residents to view this stretch of the Winooski as

the Burlington area's "second waterfront." The riverside "has never been thought of that way until now," says Doug Scott, director of the Winooski Community Development Corporation. For the past several years, Scott adds, "the city has sort of turned its back on the river." The watery artery's economic importance was obvious to everyone for more than a century — from 1835, when the first woolen mill was built, until 1954, when the looms were forever silenced. But Winooski's first major urban renewal initiative, launched in the late 1960s, largely overlooked the river's potential as a scenic resource. Revitalization efforts focused on the downtown core, especially the abandoned mills. Planners even indulged for a time in a bit of fantasy, imagining part of the city capped with a transparent dome. The actual outcome is a relatively vibrant shopping development centered on the Champlain Mill and served by a suburban-style parking lot that is at least as prominent a feature of Winooski as the Onion River itself. In retrospect, that earlier generation of urban renewers would have been wise to devise an alternative to what Mayor

RIVERSIDE Winooski puts its money ##*€

Norful concedes is "an ugly parking lot." But as city development director Scott points out, "planners in the '70s thought they had a choice of either creating a parking lot and saving the mill or losing it altogether. They decided

K A B O B

shift in urban priorities away from accommodating automobiles, current plans also, call for making part of downtown carfree and for building a pedestrian overpass across Main Street. In the shorter term, developers' attention will remain fixed on the riverside. A dumpster and parking site east of the Champlain Mill is to be transformed into a plaza for outdoor markets and festivals. A 40-unit, middle-income condo complex is envisioned for a piece of land owned by Green Mountain Power just up river from the Winooski's rapids. Riverwalk is seen as the first step toward the re-revitalization of the city's downtown. The project is being financed through a $280,000 grant from the State's Agency of Transportation and a $70,000 contribution from the Winooski Community Development Corporation. "Winooski needs to establish a special social identity," says Norful. "It has to offer the kind o f quality environment that appeals to people who don't like the ambience of malls. It has to be a lively and family-friendly place — an option for all the kids who have literally grown up in those malls." •

For 16-year-old Adriatic Shaplin, acting isntjust a stage

e acts. He writes. He has international theater credentials. He's only 16 years old. What makes Burlington's Adriano Shaplin a wunderkind is not just his notable talent, but the fact that he has already put in considerable time on public stages. Over the last two years, while his Burlington High School classmates were mounting their annual musi-

achieve something, I find something new to strive for." Poetic and insightful, Shaplin's writing delivers its share of broken-hearted teen angst, but transcends it with a perspective more often achieved by twentysomething writers. Add all this to his sound-techie work for A Closet Year, plus stage-managing gigs — for local poet Josh Bridgeman's radio play and In the Blood at

E N T R ' A C T E : Adriano Shaplin takes five. cals, Shaplin was earning the respect of top names in theater circles in Vermont — and at the Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Festival in Scotland. "I'm very struck by Adriano's style of writing and style of performing," says Green Candle Theatre Company artistic director Tracey Girdich. "It's very impressionistic. I don't see very much of that style around here. He's deeply invested in the craft of theater." Since 1994, Shaplin has appeared in Green Candle's An Giall, Ballroom of Forgiveness, Losing Steam, Undertakers, and Stephen Goldberg's self-produced Curb Divers of Redemption. While carrying a heavy course schedule — he's graduating a year early, with honors — Shaplin also found time to write four plays and four monologues. Most impressive, though, is,the fact that last Saturday's "12 x 10" monologue showcase at Cafe No No included Shaplin pieces performed by Jordan Gullikson and Girdich — theater veterans eight and 15 years his senior.

THEATER

"I'm ignorant in the way that I don't think there's anything beyond my grasp." Shaplin says. "That ignorance gives me the freedom to write about anything. Every time I

Edinburgh — and you begin to get a sense of how motivated this kid is. What pushes him? Why is Adriano Shaplin already risking professional scrutiny when he could he another schoolboy superstar? Isn't The Pajama Game enough anymore? "Musical theater is so inhuman, it makes me sick," says

"He was very open. He seemed to be very serious. He had an energy about him that was very vibrant," recalls Gullikson. "There's a type of dedication that exists for people who love acting, and you can tell when it's there. It's very easy to see and very exciting to see." Shaplin not only got a part, he became a company member, and traveled to Scotland with Green Candle's 1995 Fringe Festival entry. The trip is a source of pride for Shaplin — not because of the exposure to world-class theater, but because he took the trans-Atlantic flight alone. "I wanted to get stranded in London." He claims. "He's his own guy. He's really dedicated," says Adriano's father, John, who Channel 15 watchers know from his weekly lectures on "The Redneck Tradition in America." The elder Shaplin is willing to take out loans equivalent to "mortgaging our house twice" to send Adriano to Sarah Lawrence in the fall. "He's more than ready," says physical therapist Joan Shaplin of her son's early college entry. "He was born that way. Before he could talk, he craved stories. My earliest memory [of Adriano] is him trying physically to get into a book. He put his feet on it and tried to immerse himself. Before he could write, he got up every morning and drew his dreams. Shaplin admits his theater passions leave him "no time for friends or even girlfriends anymore." Yet he considers his life sufficiently full of "normal teenage shit," like watching "Saturday Night Live," reading J.D. Salinger and » Kurt Vonnegut and playing guitar. But the stereotypic 16year-old obsession —a driver's license — holds no interest for Shaplin. He can easily walk downtown from the home he shares with his parents and two younger sisters.

"Acting feels a lot like kissing someone for the first time.

— Adriano Shaplin Shaplin, who, at age 13, saw David Mamet's Oleanna on Broadway. "That came close to pretty much changing my life. For the first time, I saw theater as something powerful and human." Within a year, he had enrolled in Bennington's summer theater program, where he decided that "acting feels a lot like kissing someone for the first time." As sophomore year began, Shaplin struck up a friendship with a regular at his Hargreaves Deli after-school job. The customer was Green Candle's assistant artistic director Gullikson, who encouraged him to audition for An Giall.

By the time Shaplin graduates, he'll have two more appearances to his credit; a role in a Burlington production of Edward Albee's The Zoo Story on April 17, and a slot in the May 4 Cafe No No evening of monologues. And beyond that? "The most noble thing I can do is to try to perfect myself, and perfect others through teaching," Shaplin says. "I have an expression that's best communicated in the medium of theater. Which is an artsy way of saying I love it and it loves me." •

W1 t was cloudy, calm and a . I few degrees above freezJL ing last Saturday morning as the Old Goats set off on their last trek of the season up Bolton Mountain. Only half of the dozen or so regulars had turned out for this annual closing ritual; a few were on snowshoes, the rest on backcountry skis as they climbed slowly but steadily toward the Raven's W i n d trail at 3000 feet. T h e group of septuagenarians and octogenarians, along with a couple of honorary members still shy of 60, have been going on twice-weekly wintertime outings for about eight years now. T h e Old Goats share a love of wilderness and a refusal to "act their age." Gardiner Lane, 82, is the unofficial head of the herd. He lives within a short schuss of the Bolton trailhead in a replica of Ethan Allen's homestead. Lane's log house, built after his wife died 10 years ago, would be the setting that same evening for the Old Goats' end-of-theseason celebration.

A gang of senior citizens finds peak experiences — on skis University of Vermont Outing Club. H e used alpine skis — the only kind manufactured back then — to traverse the few logging trails that had been carved out by Edwin Bryant, a lumberman who owned much of the mountain. D o t Myer, another U V M alum, had skied the same steep and undeveloped terrain in the 1950s — a few years before Ralph Deslauriers built the Bolton Valley resort. A fellow Goat revealed that the modest Myer was the first woman to complete wintertime climbs of all 113 of the north east's 4000foot-plus peaks. Although its wonderful woodlands hold snow later in the year than any other crosscountry ski center in Vermont, the Bolton trail system didn't come into being until 1980. . Much of the challenging — and hugely rewarding — 100-kilometer network was laid out by Lane with a $16,000 allocation from the owners of the adjacent

As the climb continued and during a lunch break near a birch glen, some of the Goats reminisced about the early days of skiing on this rugged m o u n tain. Clem Holden, a Burlington native, remembers coming to Bolton in the 1940s with the

"There was no grooming then, just a rope tow. N o one even knew how to make turns," Lane remembers.

But she didn't begin skiing until the mid-'80s, after separating from her husband and moving to Burlington from Ithaca, New York. Lane has been on skis longer than almost any other Goat. Not long after graduating from college in 1937, he met a young librarian whom he describes* as "quite the hot ticket — in skiing, I mean." Lane and the woman he would soon marry began taking the weekend ski train from Manhattan's Grand Central Station to the Poconos. W h e n pulled onto a siding, the train carriage doubled as a chalet.

LOVE & MARRIAGE T

he novel Footprints is a tale of a disintegrating marriage, and is often brutally honest. But since author Shelby Hearon writes like a Texas-born Jane Austen, the result is a story at once poignant, perceptive and sublimely witty. Hearon, in fact, lived many years in Texas, and is now a Burlington resident. Among her 15 books are the highly acclaimed Life Estates, and O w n i n g Jolene, which won an American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award. In Footprints, Hearon once again applies her wry sensibility and earthy touch to the hard faces of love. Here, a long-married couple entertain some jarring second thoughts about each other, and about what having children really meant to their lives. As the story opens, Nan and Douglas Mayhall's 22year-old daughter, Bethany, has died in a car accident. T h e couple elects to have her organs donated — a humane act that proves disastrous to their marriage. Douglas grows obsessed with the recipient of his daughter's heart, an elderly Texas preacher to whom he displays more emotion than he did about Bethany's death. Meanwhile, Nan finds Douglas's new friendship — as well as his belief that their daughter lives on in the preacher — so morbid that she takes to calling him "Dr. Frankenstein." Since the novel is written in Nan's humorous, intelligent voice, it's only natural for the reader to side with her point of view throughout the marital strife. But one of the novel's strengths is how — through Nan's eventual and entirely new understanding of him — Douglas's character is devel-

oped, his often inconsistent, frustrating behavior explained. In other words, though Douglas can seem a bit of a monster, Hearon does not stoop to mere male-bashing. T h e toll of parenthood, as experienced in a "traditional" marriage, is at the heart of the Mayhall's problems. To Nan, having Bethany and son Bert, now a marine physiologist, meant foregoing her doctorate in paleontology for fulltime motherhood. In the

Author Shelby Hearon meantime, mild-mannered Douglas became a successful "brain scientist" and professor at a college in upstate New York. Thus, despite her background in science, it is Nan who has spent much of her life in the role of the frustrated, sometimes hysterical housewife,

Footprints by Shelby Hearon. A l f r e d A. K n o p f , 191 p a g e s , $21. and Douglas who is able to use his well-honed "reasonable voice" to end an argument. In fact, in response to her own question, "What had Douglas and I agreed to?" with regard to their marriage, Nan realizes how much of herself she had sacrificed: "Douglas

had been permitted the final word on human consciousness, that was his area of knowledge. He could call himself the donor of our daughter's heart. He could claim to know what was her and what was not her. Defining life belonged to him." After the Mayhalls settle back into their quiet, collegetown life, the plot is propelled by adultery. Affairs are nothing new to their marriage; years "ago, Nan had had an affair in reaction to Douglas's infidelity. W h a t surprised Nan in that case was how thrilling it was simply "to be with someone who hadn't done a longitudinal study of me, who wasn't going to say, 'You've changed, you didn't used to eat tomatoes that way.'" Though the Mayhalls' strayings are the most dramatic example, Hearon expertly captures the more subtle manifestations of marriage's double-edged bonds — which can be at once safe and claustrophobic. But in response to his daughter's death, Douglas goes further than just straying. In his extraordinary breach of trust, Hearon exposes just how unpredictable even the most staid marriage can be. In one cathartic scene, Douglas reveals secrets he had kept from Nan for decades, and which cast light over their entire marriage — and the novel. In the end, Hearon strikes two narrative tones with equal success, offering both an empathetic exploration of the evershifting adjustments that marriage demands, and a wry example of why women need to forge identities outside the marital bond. •

he room is alive and wriggling. The "lap dragons" are getting restless. Some of them are hungry. Some of them are about to cry. None of them is paying attention — to you, that is. These are two-, threeand four-year-olds. This is story hour. And you are the storyteller. How does it feel to face a roomful of preschoolers? If it's your first time, terrifying. The audience, after all, has a combined attention span of about six minutes. You don't have very long to make a good impression. I'm a story hour vet. Allow me to give you some tips. First of all, be intimate. You have to make the whole room feel as if they are "sitting on your lap" to listen to your stories and music. Second — and this is not a contradiction — be loud. Aim for the farthest corner of the room so that everyone is included. Above all, you must have fun yourself. Then there's the actual storytelling. In Alice in Wonderland, the King of Hearts advises the White Rabbit that, to tell a good story, you "begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end. Then stop." Nonsense; that's purely technical. With this crowd, we're talk-

ing survival. Let me tell you some of the characteristics of "lap dragons." If you pay close attention, you may get to the end of story hour with pride intact. 1. Wriggliness. Forget about anyone sitting still. If you have enough drama in your show to rivet them, you will probably make them cry. Solution: Keep changing the pace. Bring out your pet boa constrictor after the second song. Tell them it's your birthday today. Sing the alphabet song backwards. Tell a very quick story. Get the accompanying parents to sing a song. Talk about the weather. Walk funny. Play music with your nose. Make a fool of yourself. 2. Stage presence. If they are allowed by their chaperones to wander around the room while you are doing your thing, and when — not if— they get behind you, then you will be upstaged. Every single child in the audience is 100 times cuter and more interesting to look at than you could ever hope to be. Solution: Stand right in front of the little stage-hogs — just be careful not to step on their feet. Put your back against the wall, if there is one, so nobody could possibly get behind you. Seat yourself on a very high stool so that a 24-

T H A I ' S ENTERTAINMENT The author meets the "lap dragons. inch-high kid is irrelevant as long as you can keep everyone's eyes on you. Try wearing a huge, colorful mumu. This will act as a curtain and block wandering children from the rest of the audience. If all else fails, focus on the first row and try to will the "disrupters" into invisiblity. With any luck, these ploys may buy you an extra 90 seconds of undivided attention.

3. Continuous need to graze. About five minutes into the show, out come the dry Cheerios, the graham crackers, teething biscuits, and bottles of juice. Another 30 seconds more and the spilling begins. As the collective blood sugar of the audience begins to rise, the potential increases exponentially for that most dangerous of story hour pitfalls: the group breakdown.

Solution: Don't panic. Remember to keep books off the floor, and try to wear juicecolored shoes. Get the kids to sing a lot so they can't eat so much. Tell stories about food. Act like you really enjoy watching your audience dribble yogurt down their shirts while you attempt to make them sing. If you see signs of frenzy from an overdose of cookies, bring the song to a close and exit gracefully. 4. Attention span. What attention span?

Solution. No storybook can have more than six words on a page, and should contain no more than 10 pages with text. Every other song must be a standard like "The Wheels on the Bus," "The Eensy Weensy Spider," "Old McDonald," or "Twinkle Twinkle." Strive for quality; forget about quantity. Even Raffi can't hold a roomful of preschoolers for more than about 37 minutes. Those are the basics. Think funny. Think outrageous. In short, think like a three-yearold. Oh, and don't forget to smile. •

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In the African savannah, waterholes arc pivotal and precarious. In times of plenty each species of animal can claim its own special source for bathing and drinking. But when drought shrinks the number and size of the waterholes, the hippo may have to learn to share with the crocodile, the baboon with the impala. What does this have to do with you? The bad news is that the waterholes in your world may be dwindling in the months ahead. The good news is that this will bring you brisk opportunities to forge new, unexpected alliances.

And as a faithful consumer of Real Astrology you can, of course, invoke my expert demon-scouring abilities absolutely free of charge. Shall we begin? In the name of the goosebumps being channeled into my funny bone by the uproarious spirits of Groucho Marx, Mae West and Lenny Bruce, I now dissolve all bad spells placed on you, even if they were cast by you on yourself. Furthermore, the belly laughs I am unleashing as I perform this exorcism do hereby expunge any and all dumb ideas, useless feelings and irrelevant dreams you've growp attached to in the past year.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some comedian on NPR (whose name I didn't catch) recendy offered the following wry definitions. Science, looking for a black cat in a dark room. Philosophy, looking for a black cat in a dark room where there is no black cat. Psychoanalysis; looking for a black cat in a dark room where there is no black cat —- and finding it. I'd like to add to this sequence one more definition, which is true for only the next month or so. Folks born under the sign ofthe Crab: looking for a black cat in a dark room where there is no black cat, finding it, and convincing lots of people that you found it, whereupon the black cat actually appears in the dark room.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his book, Ambivalent Zen, Lawrence Shainberg describes meditations in which he tries to control "the degree to which my mind is always involved in escape, lurching towards the future or clinging to the past, generating concepts that obscure reality, seeking a way out, any time but this, anywhere but now." I highly recommend this meditation to you now, Gemini, while you're feeling so secure and grounded and at peace. This is your best chance in years to permanendy disable your bad habit of bailing out at the wrong time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The behavior of canaries might be useful for you to know about during this, your mating season. The females of the species don't sing, and the males' songs are motivated by their desire to impress — and seduce — the females. When a male and female canary are placed in the same cage for any length of time, however, the male gradually loses his interest in chirping, and eventually even his urge to boink. Only when the male and female have separate cages does the male keep up his sexy ways. I think that, regardless of your sexual preference, there's a lesson in here for you. As you feel the pull in the weeks ahead to be constantly closer than close with the person you love, it'll be wise to maintain enough solitude and independence to preserve the mystery between you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If I had the time and you had the guts, I'd gladly visit your home and help you edit your life. You could really use a loving critic like me right about now — not to mention a demanding teacher, a Jewish mother and die toughest trainer you've ever had. The funny thing is, even without my presence you're probably going to get a rough equivalent of what I just described. My only question is, will your legendary hair-trigger sensitivity ward off the incendiary but curative feedback headed your way? I'm praying to the god of die crossroads that it wont. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The totem of your sign is the centaur the half-human, half-horse of mythological lore. The word itself means "those who round up bulls," and the belief in the fabled creature was inspired by an actual tribe of ancient Greek cowboys who herded their cattle on horseback. The old stories about the centaurs reveal two basic character types. One is die cowboy: hard-workin', hard-drinkin' lechers and gamblers. The other is the sage: hard- thinkin', far-seein teachers and wise-guys. I'm telling you all this, Sagittarius, because I believe you'll be drawing deep inspiration from your archetypal beast this week. Some of you will be cowboys — or cowgirls; some of you will be sages; and a few will be cowboy sages.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I don't care if you're a high-powered moverand-shaker with a will of steel or a premenstrual dragon with a breath of fire, you need to hear and obey my advice this week. I don't care if you re on the verge of becoming the dominant creature in your ecosystem or a do-gooder that's about to save everyone from themselves. You simply must — you have no choice — devote yourself more fervently than you ever have before to the arts of cuddling, snuggling and nuzzling. Its time to recharge your spiritual battery with what we in the consciousness industry call yummy love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It'll be a WD-40 kind of week, a rime when Vaseline and olive oil and all their psychic equivalents should be nearby wherever you go. You need to lubricate creaking doors, stuck screws and squeaky wheels, Aquarius, and youve got to do it without resentment or complaint. Make sure, in other words, that little glitches with minor details don't waylay the big developments in the works.

Review PRIMAL FEAR ** Close but no cigar where Richard Gere's latest is concerned. Primal Fear, based on the William Diehl bestseller, gives every 4' indication of shaping up to be a stylish courtroom drama in the -~ £ early innings, but degenerates into a festival of fatheaded plotting ; and flatulent cliches long before the game is bver. Gere plays a ; | limelight-happy defense lawyer who snaps up the case when a young indigent man is accused of butchering a local archbishop, M Laura {Congo} Linney co-stars as an old flame and the lead prosecutor. The great John Mahoney turns up as a vaguely sinister states TRIAL AND ERROR Richard Gere attorney and, for one brief shining moment, the picture appears to gees defensive. have the potential to take off in unexpected directions. As it happens, however, the film's only surprise is just how jawdroppingly routine it all winds up. Directed by Gregory Hoblit — a veteran of both "LA Law" and "NYPD Blue" — the picture elicits charged performances from its stars, most notably newcomer Edward Norton, and benefits from a number of nice touches, but about halfway along just goes dumb on us. Subplots are misplaced; cornball, highly predictabh twists are executed; most annoyingly of all, blunders are made with regard to basic courtroom procedure, which anyone who watched the Simpson trial will recognize at once. Through the film's entire second half I kept expecting Greta Van Susteran to run past the camera, shrieking bug-eyed and pulling her hair out by the fistful. And, as if that weren't nonsensical enough, the "genuinely shocking twist" to which the picture's ads allude is a cop-out so hackneyed and overused it wouldve seemed lame in an episode of "Mannix." All of which, despite a promising first act, combines to make sitting through Primal Fear one of the real trials of the century,

WT m

PReviews FEAR Marky Mark (Wahlberg) goes starky stark raving nutso in this thriller based on every fathers worst nightmare: that his little girl will grow up to date a young man who raps in his underpants. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH The latest from the folks who brought you Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the voices of Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon in an adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl children's tale combining live action, computer animation and stop-action special effects. FLIRTING WITH DISASTER David {Spanking the Monkey) Russell directs Ben Stiller as a young man inspired by the birth of his first child to seek out his own natural parents.

FA ITH FU L** Cher returns to the screen as a woman whose 20th anniversary is marred by the appearance of a hit man sent by her husband (Ryan O'Neal). Chazz Palminteri wrote the play the movie's based on, and plays the hired killer. The problem? The guy has a gun, but rather than use it attempts to chat her to death. Directed by Paul Mazursky. SGT . BI LK0** Steve Martin, Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd get their marching orders from My Cousin Vinny director Jonathan Lynn in this screen adaptation, of the '50s TV show about a lovable military con man. The picture does have a dozen or so good laughs. For the most part, though, what we have here is a cartoonlike parade of rehashed genre characters, stock situations and zippy trailer sound bites. FARGO**** A black comedy set in the Great White North, this true story about a kidnapping gone awry is considered by many to be the best thing yet from the brothers Coen. Frances McDormand stars. A FAMI LY TH.I N G ( N R) James Earl Jones and Robert Duvall co-star in this widely praised story about a couple of long-lost brothers brought together by fate. RICHARD 111 {NR) Ian McKellen, Annette Bening and, vup, Robert Downey, Jr. star in Richard Longraine's interpretation of Shakespeare's classic — set this time in 1930s England. OLIVER & CO.*** Disney's re-release of its animated all-canine take on Dickens' Oliver Twist, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN I I * * * Charlie Sheen's made his share of dogs, but this is the first time he's played one. The actor lends his voice to the tale of a deceased pup who's grown bored with the afterlife and returns to earth temporarily. EXECUTIVE DECISION*** Evidendybelieving there were artistic nuances left unexplored in Passenger 57, producer Joel Silver decided to make a movie with exactly the same premise. The result, starring Kurt Russell, is a surprisingly watchable couple hours of smirkless 100 percent sarcasm-free, white-knuckle fun. THE BI RDCAGE*** Another trip to remake city. This time Mike Nichols updates the cross-dressing classic La Cage aux Folks. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play a gay couple who go straight for the closet when Williams' son brings his fiancee and her conservative parents by for a visit. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL*** Michelle Pfeiffers a novice TV reporter, Robert Redford a veteran producer. Together they make beautiful news coverage in the latest from Fried Green Tomatoes director Jon Avner. HAPPY GILM0RE** The first of the year's upcoming glut of golf movies, the latest from SNLs Adam Sandler concerns a loveable putz (get it?) who turns out to be a genius on the links. DEAD MAN WALKING*** Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon star in the true story of a nun and the serial killer she comes to know and care for on death row. From Bob Roberts director Tim Robbins.
