It's a "buoyant, wickedly funny comedy" (N e w York Times). • Though the widescreen William Shakespeare's Rom eo & Juliet is not yet available in director-preferred letterbox format, the Burlington Showtime does have over 100 movies in letterbox widescreen - hey, it's catching on! Excellent, "unm odified" visually uncensored versions of movies so spectactular looking you just may feel like you're seeing them for the first time: Broken Arrow, Heat, Leaving Las Vegas, Independence Day, Braveheart, the seven Star Treks, the entire United Artists James Bond series (incredibly outstanding color remasters), and, perhaps best of all. Franco Zeffirelli's Best Picture Nominee Rom eo & Juliet (1968), with a mouth-wateringly beautiful new (1996) picture transfer that finally does video-justice to its Oscar-winning cinematography.

Field Guide TO Uwn Ornfaents about whirlygigs? Crazy for concrete kewpies? lime to spring into yard-watching Bv Ruth Horowitz awn ornaments are a hardy species. Even in Vermont’s unforgiving climate, you can spot them all year ’round. You don’t have to look hard in December to find a plywood Santa or a plastic snowman taking temporary residence in somebody’s yard. By March, these cold-weather phyla have usually retreated, replaced by multicolored plastic eggs hang ing in trees and the occasional outsized rabbit. But when real spring arrives, with bulbs in bloom and creemee freezers cranking, true aficionados pull out their field glasses in prepa ration for prime lawn orna m ent season. Lawn ornaments are every where. Be-costumed bears beckon from the Sirloin Saloon on Shelburne Road. A faithful German shepherd, still as a sentinel, stands guard on a N orth Avenue front porch. Cast-concrete skunks add woodland whimsy to a W illiston sub division. There’s something delicious about the serendipi tous surprise o f discovering an authentically reproduced Japanese lantern casting light on your neighbor’s vinyl siding.

W hether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just learning to distinguish a rustic milk can from a Rubber Maid trash can, now is the perfect time to avail yourself o f Vermont’s plentiful front-yard pleasures. A good place to start is David Duchaine’s Shed Sales on Shelburne Road. A retired Air National Guardsman who’s been selling antiques since the early ’70s, Duchaine branched out into cast concrete statuary six years ago. The assortment of decorative doodads on dis play in his parking lot is a tes tament to the nearly limitless bounds of the human imagi nation and the structural properties o f sand mixed with gravel. Duchaine points out a pair o f painted “Apple D um plin Kids” in Tyrolean garb, a reclining porcine odalisque he calls “Pigatude” (short for “Pig W ith Attitude”), and self-circulating > electric fountains that winter over inside as elegant living * room humidifiers. For those who feel called to mix the sand and gravel batter, pour it into factorymade molds and either paint the finished sculpture or let it age naturally cast concrete can be a lucrative business, according to; an Ontario out fit called “Concrete Success.” I Just $12.95 gets you “Turn

BOTTLE IT This week’s gig (at Memorial Auditorium) spells the end of The Samples as we know them. Despite graduating to major-label sta tus with last year’s Outpost, the band is splitting in half. Drummer Jeep MacNichol and keyboardist Al Laughlin are leaving to pursue other projects. That leaves two former Burlingtonians — vocalist Sean Kelley and Andy Sheldon — to carry on the name and their multi-layered, melodic worldpop. Friends

since high school in Burlington, the pair moved to Boulder a decade ago to follow the grassroots musi cal path — which led to over half a million in record sales and the H.O.R.D.E. tour.

P a m ela P o U t o n (Rounder, CD) — Like Bela Fleck and Burlington’s own Gordon Stone, Tony Furtado goes above and beyond the call of bluegrass. He explores other feels and melodic structures both within and outside the traditional parameters of his primary instrument, the banjo. A touch of jazz; a touch of woridbeat; a little blues. In fact, on Roll My Blues Away, old-time country blues takes a front seat, and Furtado’s slide guitar playing follows the steps taken by Fred McDowell. Naming his sources, the second song here is an evocative, stately paean called “The Ghost of Blind Willie Johnson.” True to the blues path but embellishing it with percussive touch es —- and benefiting from a crystal-clear production —- Furtado shows off prowess without grandstand ing. Like all great musicians, he makes it sound effortless. But don’t be mislead by the title; Roll My Blues Away honors that tradition in its dozen mostly instrumental tunes, but weaves all Furtados explo rations into one idiosyncratic style. From the oldworldly strains of Celtic folk to the lonesome cowboy balladry of the wide-open Texas plains, Furtado cre ates a compelling cross-cultural aphrodisiac of sound.

He arrives with full band to Burlington’s Contois Auditorium this Thursday. G ordon Stone Trio opens.

UJEDHESDHY,ftPBIL23AT9PM (Broken River Records) —- Boy, you just can’t judge a book by the cover, nor a CD by the sleeve art. Mindflows low-budget blackand-white packaging doesn’t even hint at the good stuff-inside. Right after the gritty vocals of Tony Roberts, what you notice about the Boston-based quartet is the Hammond organ, presided over by Jeff Pittman. Floating in the background like a musical chaperone, the instrument lends a retro, full-bodied v,v - { '

Mardirossian are steady as a heartbeat. The tunes are melodic, the lyrics intelligent, the arrangements nicely crafted. The feels change up enough to keep you surprised. Though slow and kind of morose, the tide track is lifted from the cardiac unit by emotive sax work by guest Ada Rovatti. Elsewhere can be found an accordion and a cello. Mindflow probably won’t bring the extras along to their opening gig for The Pants this Thursday at Metronome, but the basic four on the floor are rarin to go. Let it flow.

(Bridgefolk Records, CD) — Vertical Horizon, Jackopierce — and Burlington’s Strangefolk •— started pretty much this way: Competent enough acoustic guitar strumming, heartfelt lyrics in a folk-rock vein. Except Three Mile High starts out with four guys that sound like two with occasional overdubs. Sparse, uncomplicated production —- recorded at Eclipse — emphasizes the essential strength of this band: Chris Titchners winning, boyish vocals and great harmonies from the two guitar guys, Mike Lawrence and Tom Williams. Pat Doyle keeps the groove going with tasteful percussion ~~ more prominent in uptem po tunes like “Wendy” and the jagged “Let Me Play the Fool” and

g w **&$*»* — w, ~v „vw— Bliss,” which reminds me of the ’60s acoustic rockers Lovin’ Spoonful.

on winter; if you don’t live by it yourself, you have friends and neighbors who do. As for the rest o f the year, summer is an easy season, busy and produc tive; spring is a time o f happy preparations; and everybody loves the fall for reasons o f their own. But m ud season — roughly, the weeks from the spring equinox to around income-tax time — is supposed to be pure ordeal. The question is: Why? I am not here to read over again the old charges against

m ud time. The stuck cars, the bottomless roads, the submerged horses o f Vermont folk lore will this year be revisited by other writ ers — many o f them — but not by me. I propose instead to turn the tables, to make the case for m ud season, and for m ud itself, by suggesting a simple but revolutionary idea. We have mud sea son because we want it. Before you hurl that notion angrily from you, consider that in practice m ud season is a matter o f roads. The mud most o f us com plain about isn’t the stuff in the fields. It’s the mud we must travel through. And muddy roads, today, are easily avoided: All you have to do is pave them. We live in the Age o f Asphalt, but in Vermont, alone among - its neighbor states, we seem to occupy that age with reservations. Travelers around north ern New England find that, even in the remote, more rural sec tions o f Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, roads that in Vermont would be dirt are paved — maybe not very well, but paved enough to be rela tively im mune from mud. O ur neighbors’ roads remind us that, in the Age o f Asphalt,

No, we in Vermont do not leave our roads unprotected against m ud out o f inability; we do it because we have needs that m ud and m ud season somehow answer. We don’t know it, but we love mud.

W hen we reflect on the' good things about m ud time, we discover that this season is, preeminently, the possessor o f the vigorous, antique virtues our expiring century is sup posed to lack.

ugar bushes, dairy farms, ski resorts, quaint country inns. The images most often associated with Vermont are actually seldom seen in the state’s largest city. In Burlington, bed-and-breakfasts are almost as rare as cow pas tures. Visitors to the Queen City who look hard enough are able to find European-style accom modations in a couple ol pri vate homes. Howden Cottage on N orth Champlain Street, for example, has bejen open for 14 years, catering mostly to what owner Bruce Howden describes as a working-class clientele. But Burlington Bed and Breakfast, one o f the few other B&Bs in town, closed last fall because, in the words o f co owner and lawyer Rick Sharp, “it’s a real pain to operate this kind o f business. “Some people are very picky, and you’ve got to be around all the time. It’s a lot easier,” Sharp says, “to just rent the place to college students for the entire year and be done with it.” At least one set o f entrepre neurs is convinced, however, that an elegant bed-and-breakfast can thrive in Burlington. And since its opening last October, the W illard Street Inn has confirmed the confident expectations o f co-owners Bev and Gordon Watson and David Fassler. Nearly all 15 rooms in the historic home at 349 South Willard Street are already booked each weekend from June through October, at prices ranging from $73 to $150 for an overnight stay and full breakfast. T he inn is also attracting some midweek cus tomers — mainly business trav elers who prefer surroundings homier than those at local hotels. In the City’s definition, the 115-year-old mansion doesn’t

actually qualify as a bed-andbreakfast. Watson received a business permit under an entirely new category — “his toric inn” — since Burlington ordinances limit B&Bs to no more than three rooms. T hat was only one o f the hurdles the proprietors had to clear, however, before winning the right to open their doors. Some neighbors in the gen erally affluent residential area voiced concerns about potential increased traffic and noisy func tions that might be held at the inn. After considerable debate, a list o f conditions was stipulat e d '/ / - ' ' ' J

In Burlington, bed-and-breakfasts are almost as rare as cow pastures. No activities are permitted in the inn’s spacious yard, which some couples would surely view as an ideal warmweather wedding site. Owners are required to live on the premises — a condition met by the Watsons’ willingness to move from their South Burlington home into a base m ent apartm ent. In addition, dinners cannot be served at the inn — the W atsons thus adver tise the availability o f “our off site restaurant,” Isabels* on the waterfront. “So far, it’s been fine,” com ments Spruce Street hom eown er M arty Wilkens, one o f the inn’s more vocal local chal lengers. “But the warm months

haven’t come yet, and I still have concerns about the long-term operation of that property.” For their part, the innkeepers express no disgruntlement over the terms attached to the permit. Neighbors “had some legitimate worries,” says Gordon Watson, who also works as a mechanic for Pratt & W hitney at the Burlington Airport. “This is some thing I’ve always wanted to do, even more than owning a restaurant,” explains Bev Watson. “I love having Isabel’s,” which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. “But own ing a bed-and-breakfast has been a dream o f mine for a long time.” And the dream o f a hill-sec tion B&B m ight well conjure up something much like the Willard Street Inn. The home was built in 1881 by architect A.B. Fisher for the family of Charles Woodhouse, a Vermont state senator who would later become president of the Merchants Bank. The strik ing 8200-square-foot interior features tall ceilings and cherrywood wainscoting as well as a marble-floored solarium/breakfast room with views o f Lake Champlain. All the rooms have been furnished and decorated in period style with colorful wallcoverings and a mixture of antiques and reproduction pieces. The three-story, mainly brick exterior is a bit o f an architectural hodge-podge. The combination o f Queen Anne and Georgian Revival styles may have been produced from a pattern book, according to the Historic Guide to Burlington Neighborhoods. The Watsons and Fassler purchased the house for $730,000 from a previous -- - t owner who had operated it as a retirement home. Two full-time employees run the Willard Street Inn on a daily basis, with assistance from a pair o f Champlain College student interns. “It’s a dem and ing job,” says manager Robin Hersey. “Just keeping up with all the laundry is a challenge.” v * , H ow den agrees that main taining a guest home is no easy task. “It’s been hard,” he says, cit ing negative perceptions o f his downscale neighborhood. But the Howden Cottage, built in 1825, is “even more historic” than the Willard Street Inn. □

By Peter Frevne ichael Johnson, the gov ernm ent’s star witness in the biggest drug conspira cy trial in Vermont history, began his fifth day on the wit ness stand Tuesday with all observers — including govern m ent prosecutors — unsure o f what he m ight say next. Johnsons testimony has already caused a mistrial that removed one o f the six defendants from the proceedings, and his repeat ed inability to recall the timing o f events has cast a shadow over his credibility. Johnsons testimony has often been erratic and bizarre. He acknowledged he’s had problems with his memory since he stopped doing illegal drugs while in jail in Canada in 1992. But he insisted his mem ory o f the events o f the 1980s was clear even though he was rarely specific on timing, other than to testify an event hap pened in the “early to m id-’80s” or “m id-to late ’80s.” O n cross-examination Johnson testified that he is cur rently taking two prescription drugs, one for A ttention.Deficit Disorder, the other to control anxiety. Johnson, 34, a South Burlington High School gradu ate, was the first Vermonter captured by officers o f the Quebec Provincial Police fol lowing the botched off-loading o f 50 tons o f hashish in July 1991 at the m outh o f the St.

Lawrence. Johnson had returned to the site in remote Riviere-au-Tonnerre to pick up a small black bag left behind by Billy Greer. Inside the bag, tes tified Johnson, Greer said there was $8000 in cash, and his identification. But instead of finding the bag, Quebec police found Johnson — and the largest drug-smuggling opera tion in Canadian history began to unravel. Greer o f South Burlington and Stephen Hutchins of Colchester are charged in a nine-count federal indictment with operating a career criminal enterprise, a charge that carries a 20-years-to-life sentence. Four co-defendants — Gregory Stevens, Glenn Koski, Thomas Cook and M artin Scott — are charged with conspiracy to im port/export marijuana and hashish and w ith violating the Maritime D rug Act. Johnson, who is currently in the Federal Witness Protection Program, testified he’d worked for Greer throughout the 1980s as a driver and drug-runner. He also adm itted he’d been contin uously under the influence of a ; ho st o f drugs throughout that time period. Under oath, Johnson said he smoked up to 10 marijuana joints a day, snorted cocaine whenever it was available — and it frequently was — and did over 100 trips on LSD, mescaline and psyche delic mushrooms. The mistrial was prom pted by a statement related to a drug

transaction that neither the government nor the defense had heard o f before. W hen asked by Acting U.S. Attorney David Kirby if he knew o f any drug-dealing connec tion between Greer and co-defendant M artin Scott, Johnson blurted out that Greer had told him Scott “moved large quantities by sailboat from Jamaica to Florida.” T hat came as a sur prise to everyone. “I have not heard this information before,” Kirby told Judge William Sessions. The following morning, Sessions declared a mistrial as far as defen dant Scott was con cerned. Johnson’s state ment about a Jamaican pot shipment, he said, was “overwhelmingly prejudicial.” Sessions told the lawyers without the jury present that “after reviewing the tran script, I’m not sure this witness is intending to help the govern m ent.” Under direct examination last week Johnson, in a ram bling two days on the stand, also testified to the following: • He had made about a dozen trips to Florida with James Mayo, his best friend, “in the mid to late ’80s” to pick up one to three kilos o f cocaine, which he then turned over to Greer. • Greer, whom he said had the

nickname “$100 Bill,” once told him that all he wanted to do was make $5 million — “One for me, one for my wife, one for each kid and one to

blow.” • That he witnessed Greer, his wife Sharon, and Hutchins counting out $1.7 million in cash on the living room floor o f their South Burlington hom e in the late 1980s. T he currency was broken down by denom i nation and packed in $5000 bundles. • T hat following one large mar ijuana deal sometime in the 1980s, Hutchins left $100,000 in cash behind in a car. • T hat upon his arrest in Canada in July 1991, he was denied access to an attorney,

and beaten and choked by a Quebec detective named Pierre Lebeau. T he officer allegedly threatened more beatings as well as being raped in jail if Johnson didn’t confess. Under cross-examination by Greer’s attorney, Bob Kalina, Johnson testified he was not allowed to read the confession he signed in Canada. Johnson said the text o f the pages were covered over with a blank sheet o f paper as he was ordered to sign his name at the bottom. “For all you knew,” asked Kalina, “you could have con fessed to killing President Kennedy?” “O bjection,” said Kirby. “Sustained,” replied Judge Sessions. After confessing, Johnson said he was taken to police headquarters in Montreal where he met with Special Agent Rick Carter o f the DEA and Special Agent John Donnelly o f U.S. Customs. “And you thought the Americans are here,” asked Kalina, “and you told them ‘these fellows beat me up?”’ “Yes I did,” replied Johnson. “W hat did they do?” asked Kalina. “You’ll have to ask them ,” i|-,i,< answered Johnson. In fact, no mention o f Johnson’s com plaint about being beaten by Lebeau ever made it into the reports filed by Agents Carter and Donnelly. T he trial enters its fifth week Thursday with the prosecution still presenting its case. □

Rebecca Reno, a member o f the Intervale C om m unity Farm’s steering committee, is opposed to a zoning change that must be made before work can begin on the eco-park. “For me, the Intervale is an urban wilderness and recre ation area that we’re lucky to have and that needs to be guarded,” she says.

His Burlington-based firm designs wastewater treatm ent systems similar to those planned for the eco-park.

team gives new definition to blood, sweat and beers

Bv David Healv hen novice rugby player Stephanie Teleen walked into her first practice a few weeks ago she was greeted by a coach with a massive black eye. “I’m thinking, ‘Should I be here?’” Teleen says with a laugh that reveals a mix o f good humor and good common sense. Rugby, the kissing cousin of football and soccer, is for many people the quintessential macho sport, complete with blood, sweat and beers after the game. “Rugby is the ultimate sport to play,” admits Teleen. “If you say, ‘I play rugby,’ people say, ‘W hoa.’” But in the Burlington area, rugby has a new feminine, though not necessarily softer, touch. , n i f i j A'n. o ' : i :>■. Earlier this year the . ! Burlington Rugby Club formed a women’s team to match its men’s squad — a first among the hundreds o f com m unity clubs that exist nationwide. This ground-breaking effort comes through the initiative of former University o f Vermont player Regina Burney. It enjoys the full support o f Club Head Coach Kevin O ’Brien, who led the U.S. Women’s National Team to the top spot in the first World Cup championship ever played in women’s rugby. “Rugby represents the com munity,” says the Welsh-born O ’Brien o f the game’s historic role in other countries. “In Europe, generations o f the same family from all backgrounds will play for the same club.” O ’Brien believes that women who want to play a contact sport should be given the opportunity to play rugby. He’s

happy to see the Burlington club, now in its 19th year, accepts women and thus more accurately reflects the com m u nity. Burney, a preschool teacher at the Burlington YMCA, missed her favorite sport, as well as the camaraderie o f team sports, since graduating from college in 1995. “I just love the game with a passion,” she says, explaining her motivation to approach O ’Brien about start ing a women’s team. “And, when you have a good team that you love, it’s like an amaz ing family.” Robilee Smith, a manager at IBM and the Burlington team’s most experienced player, agrees. T he 41-year old m other o f two took up the sport back in the late ’70s for the team aspects and its applications to business. “I was in book publishing in

my early twenties, reading things which argued that women weren’t prepared for

military,” she says, shaking her head. “Typical o f me, I went full-bore and went out and played rugby. From it I did learn a lot about teamwork and a lot of things about business,” she concedes. Smith says getting ahead in today’s business world isn’t unlike executing a successful scrum in rugby, where eight players lock together to give their team ball control and m om entum . “W hat we do in business is very team-oriented and collaborative. For anyone to advance, you need to advance as a group,” she says. “I learned it first on the field, and I learned it in a setting where I had 40 or 50 sisters.” The Burlington Rugby C lub’s current group o f 15 to 20 female players aren’t all as experienced as Smith — almost half are neophytes like Teleen

And, they’ve recruited one o f the pre mier rugby players in the U nited States — male or female — to do the teaching. T he coach, K.O.

W henever anyone connect ed to rugby talks about Onufrey, it’s with a kind o f rev erence. “W hen K.O. moves and passes the ball, it’s like she’s dancing,” says one player at a recent practice presided over by Assistant Coach John Phillips.

l y V r

Bv Margaret Levine Young and Jordan Young I I o, you got on the Internet. O r maybe you’re still won dering about getting on the Internet. O r if you’re really smart, you’re wondering why you would want to get on the Internet. Let’s not jum p to con clusions here; why exactly would you want to connect your com puter to the Internet? We can think o f a bunch o f reasons: 1) You want to find out what e-mail is; 2) You want to expand your social circle and improve your keyboard skills by typing messages to people all over the world; 3) You’re pas sionately interested in Hungarian music and you can’t find anyone else in your town who is; 4) You wonder what’s at http://www.bigheavyworld.com /seven.days (just a little plug); 3) You’re thinking o f planting a garden and somebody said something about being able to plant peas right now, but you don’t have a clue. Apropos for this issue’s Hom e & Garden theme, it turns out you can find lots o f gardening information on the Irq^mej,.including thousands o f Web pages and dozens o f online discussions on the sub ject. So even before you can get outside and tackle spring clean up, you can find out how to make your garden grow better by planting a few seeds, so to speak, in cyberspace. The W orld W ide Web is (repeat after me, class) a huge collection o f interrelated pages on almost every topic you can think of. Each page has an address — they call it a URL, or Web address. To see the page, you can type its URL into the location or address box of your Web browsing program — like Netscape or Internet Explorer. We looked around the Internet as we were planning this year’s garden and found quite a few Web pages. Here are the URLs for each (when you type these URLs into your Web browser, don’t include the parentheses).

pizza • grinders • pasta calzones • fresh salads o p e n d aily • 3 8 8 -3 164 g ra n d u n io n plaza

• The (No) Problem Garden: Definitely our favorite garden ing site. You’re supposed to save the best for last, but we couldn’t resist. If you look at only one Internet Web site on gardening, make it this one. Lindley Karstens shares her take on why one should garden at all, as well as philosophical tips on how to get more out o f the gardening experience — as opposed to your garden itself. In her words, “Getting tense over the aphids

is not going to help your roses, anyway.” But the site does have lots o f good tips on solving real-world problems, (http:// w w w .netusal.net/"lindley/ ) • Gardening.com: You mean you didn’t want to start your gardening experience by buying the Encyclopedia Brittanica o f plant-raising? T hat’s OK; these folks have put it on the Internet for you. Pop quiz: How late can you plant peas in your garden? Gardening.com sez: “Sow seed in early spring every two weeks until 60 days before the begin ning o f 75-degree F weather.” If you really get into this Web surfing stuff, Gardening.com will let you search for more Web pages to visit, more or less based on what you’re interested in. ( http://gardening.com ) • Books That Work Garden Encyclopedia: The Complete Guide to Garden Stuff: A cousin to Gardening.com, this actually is the Encyclopaedia Brittanica o f gardening, and most o f the text is available on the Internet. Instead o f looking things up, you can just browse through the chapters and take notes on what interests you. If you want a nice essay on Integrated Pest Management, for instance, check out chapter four, (http://www.btw.com/garden_archive/toc.html ) • The Garden Gate: This is mainly a list o f other gardening sites on the Net, but Karen Fletcher gives her opinion o f what’s hot and what’s not. She’s a m uch more serious gardener than we are, so listen to her. (http://www.prairienet.org/garden-gate ) • The Garden Web: Includes an online magazine, The CyberPlantsman. Remember back in third grade, when you germi nated some seeds in a paper cup? Well, if you think that’s all there is to it, think again. The intriguingly named Sesbania

Tripeti has a column at The Garden Web, and she’ll tell you all about how to get it right. Pretty much our favorite page there. The rest o f the site isn’t bad, either, but it’s a little long on hype and short on content. Besides Sesbania, check out the Gardens o f the World pages for a little tourism on the cheap. (Sesbania’s at http://www.gardenweb.com/sesbania. Gardens o f the World is at http://www.gardenweb.com/got w. The rest o f their stuff is at http://www.gardenweb.com.) Do you get how these Web addresses work yet? • Andrew and Jackies Koi and Pond Page: All about creating goldfish (koi) ponds in your garden. OK, this page is in Australia, and sometimes it’s kind o f hard to get to (we’ll talk about pitfalls on the informa tion highway some other time). But hey, what’s a garden w ith out a fish pond, right? (http://www.byteline.com.au/ko i.html)

Some o f the best informa tion on the Internet isn’t on the Web Page part (that’s the World W ide Web, in geekspeak) at all. Instead, it’s on mailing lists and new groups (kinda like big bul letin boards). Most o f these Web sites will show you how to get on to some gardening mail ing lists, or m ention some of the good gardening news groups. We’ll talk about the details another time. By the way, we put this list o f Web pages on our own Web page at http://net.dum m ies.net/internetlO l/gardens.htm . If you don’t feel like typing the URLs below, use the Web page instead — you can just click on the links. Note that new things pop up on the Internet all the time, addresses change, and Web pages move, so the occasional address may be obsolete. Send changes, corrections or sugges tions to us at MJ7Days@gurus. com. But for now, see ya on the Net. □

And, if you thought Dantes Peak was mediocre, wait’ll you get a load of list) Llosa directs here, from what appears to have been a loose translation of a rough draft of a half- iked treatment which no one ever got around to fleshing out into a fin| ws up for an easy paycheck in the role of a scientist of some kind trying to in the Amazon. Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube play the camera crew on | board to document the big discovery. Instead they discover how desperate for cash Jon Voight must be. The actor gives a hammy embarrassment of a performance as a sinister South American who takes over their boat and makes the team help him hunt giant killer snakes, even though he already has a boat and a helper and the film never explains why he couldn’t have looked for his snakes without ever f bothering them. The writings subnormal and character developments a no-show, so Voight kills a mind-boggling amount of screen time arching his eyebrow and trying to sound like Ricardo Montalban. Its a sad sight. Sadder though is the special-effects situation. Whenever a giant snake is in motion, it looks bla tantly, laughably like a cartoon. Then, for quick close-ups in which victim after victim is squeezed to death, the filmmakers substituted an “animatronic” snake whose coils look suspiciously like a pile of truck radials painted lime green. The only reason to make this movie was the special effects, and even those were treated with boneheaded sloppiness. The result — a widess, pointless, virtually entertainto wai

INTERVALE INDUSTRY Continued, from page 14 park planning. This shortcom ing is being rectified through a more inclusive and democratic process which gets underway with a May 3 public meeting. Burlingtonians living near the Riverside Avenue border o f the Intervale have reason to be suspicious o f projects touted as environmentally positive. Some neighbors have long complained o f dust and odors emanating from the wood chips stockpiled at the McNeil plant, and of the occasional stench from the Intervale com post project further to the north. The siting o f the McNeil station so close to a residential area is one of “several blun ders” made in the Intervale, says local activist and farmer Bonnie Acker. She cites three others in particular: the nowclosed garbage dum p alongside M anhattan Drive, the Northern Connector that slices through wetlands, and the Gardener’s Supply building and parking lot at the entrance to the Intervale. But Acker supports the eco-park project “as long as it’s done in a smaller scale” than currently envisioned, and pro vided that the needed zoning change stipulates that only

agriculture-related businesses can ever operate on the site. Even if planners manage to mollify skeptics, it remains to be seen whether the project will secure the required fund ing. Director Harris foresees a

as 150 new jobs, public-private matching scheme that would include grants from federal sources such as the Energy and Commerce Departments. State and municipal support might be secured as well, she says. Private money may prove harder to come by, though the

City’s Com m unity and Economic Development Office is optimistic. T he proposal is being pre sented at a time when the C linton adm inistration is pro m oting sustainable develop m ent initiatives. Some officials in W ashington are keenly interested in the Burlington eco-park, which appears to be the furthest advanced in the country. T he U.S. Departm ent o f Energy has already allocated $20,000 for a feasibility study. Plans for incorporating dairy and food processing wastes into the eco-park’s energy and agricultural systems are espe cially intriguing to the govern ment, Harris notes. “We would love to be part o f it,” says Zabriskie, whose firm is often cited by project backers as the sort o f local business ideally suited for the eco-park. “But we’re not able to allocate resources to be the lead or the anchor tenant,” Zabriskie says. In addition to a change in the site’s zoning designation from “recreation, conservation and open land,” approval for the project will hinge on the state’s Act 250 review process, which involves a costly traffic study. Harris nonetheless sug gests that construction could get underway by spring o f ’98. □

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): As a self-taught rebel with no formal credentials, I probably sound hypocritical when 1 urge you to get yourself better certified and licensed and sanctioned. And believe me, I cringe as 1 imagine you trying to cram your unique talents into a generic niche. But frankly, beautiful, I can no longer stand to see you miss the rewards and recognition you’d be getting if you were willing to kiss just a little more butt.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): While at the zoo today, I stopped in at the Insect House. There I saw a sight which filled me with anguished empathy. A darkling beetle had fallen on its back and couldn’t turn itself rightside up. For 10 minutes 1 watched as it pumped its legs and rocked its body in a vain struggle to thrust itself out o f its predicament. W hat made the experience all the more traumatic for me was that I couldn’t help but be reminded of what you’ve been going through. Your situation is more hopeful, however. I know for a fact that some cosmic intervention will provide you with the necessary nudge in the coming week.

credit. 1 firmly believe most of you would have achieved wonders in the last six weeks with or without me. The proof: 1 won’t give you any advice this week, yet I’m sure you’ll cap your recent successes with a climactic coup d'etat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Is there really such a place as Hell? A few survivors o f Near Death Experiences have reported they found themselves in a fiery wasteland instead of the more commonly described tunnel of heavenly light. But then most of these folks admitted they’d been pretty nasty, unethical people before their N DE. I bring this up, Cancer, on the off chance that some of your less-thansaintly behavior has ticketed you for a trip to the infernal regions many years hence. You see, the next five weeks will bring you ample opportunities to cancel out and atone for the worst sins you’ve ever committed. LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Wouldn’t it be fun if there were places in the world that were as sacred to you as Mecca is to the Muslims? Wouldn't it it Muslims? Wouldn’t be umfiri if diem were wem sanctuaries ao sanctuaries so ____ fired to reinvent your visited them? And hreous if there were

My Virgo acquaintance Lane told me that only one thing kept him sane as he slaved away at wrapping up the affairs of his recently deceased father, and that was the fantasy of escaping on a three-week vacation to Tahiti. Then there’s Margo, a Virgo astrologer I know. She loves the deluge o f new clients whose charts she’s been doing, but can hardly wait to take a break from talking astrological jargon and doing so much nonstop analysis. To these three people, as well as to you, 1 say: Your moment of liberation is nigh.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those seductive sirens are enticing and wooing and tempting you again. And boy do they have a fabulous deal this time. They’re really sorry, by the way, about the false advertising they used on the last occasion you floated their ' way. They’ve assured me they’ll never pull the bait-and-switch routine on you again. How about giving them another chance? To prove how much chey value you as a customer — and how sorry they are for treating you like a sucker before — the] their first two songs ar

lately. Feeling gratitude for your blessings could have an almost miraculously tonic effect on your curses.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lately you’ve been a spitting image o f the mythical American cowboy Pecos Bill — lassoing freight trains, wearing live rattlesnakes as scarves, cooking with lightning, and riding tornadoes bareback. The legends say Bill singlehandedly dug out the Rio Grande, and no doubt there’ll be comparable tales about you in the wake of your recent adventures. But now, alas, it’s time to settle down, and maybe plan a few mellow nights singing, campfire songs around the glow of the TV. I realize you may still feel the urge, like Pecos Bill, to put fish hooks and barbed wire in your whiskey to give it an extra kick. And you might even have been able to get away with that before. Do ft though, and you’re courting CAPRICORN

SCORPIO

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I Seismologists recently discovered that the Earth’s iron core is rotating at a higher velocity than the rest o f the planet. I think this situation is an apt metaphor for what’s currently going on with you. Your own inner essence, or souL, has been moving faster than your outer layer, or persona. In other words, you’ve been evolving on deep inner levels but have not yet managed I to translate the changes into your daily i rhythm. Your smartest passions are increasingly attuned to the future while your staunch habits are still conditioned by decisions made in the distant past. My advice to you: Better start playing catch up before the discrepancy grows so big that your personal equivalent o f an earthquake breaks out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The bridge you’ve got to cross may not be quite as narrow as the blade o f a sword. But it sure as hell won’t be a big momma o f a suspension bridge, either. So I advise you to brush up on conquer any fear o f heights you have, just in case. You simply ca afford to face this transition unprepared, even if the span dot out to be wider and sturdier thai o f those rape bridges connecting cliff to another. □

Dear Lola, Hcla, Lola. I don't Set why gays and lesbians are aligned. Sure, they're not heterosexuals, but that's where the simi larity ends. Straight women who like anal sex have more in common with gay men than lesbians do. And dykes have the same tastes as straight men. Maybe we should re-categcrize things. What do you think? Cocky in Colchester —

Dear Cocky, Gays and lesbians have joined forces because most straight people don't under stand them. And minorities have the unenviable task of) educating the smug majority. Maybe we could start a new cat egory f}or people like you: All blowhards should live with blow up dolls. Try to see the person connected to the penis and the gender beyond the vagina. Otherwise, buy plastic. Adios, amigo. With love,

This is not a time for things that are easy. Last September over

athlete

3000 people did something that most o f them never dreamed they could. Together they rode their bicycles from Boston to N ew York to raise $6.3 million for the fight against A ID S. And they defined what it means to make a difference in today’s world. This September; it happens again. And you can join them. Grandparents. Brothers and sisters. Friends and lovers. All united by a feeling that it is time to make a difference again. Tim e to do something big. A s a rider in BostonONew York A ID S Ride 3 Presented byTanqueray you can participate in the most successful A ID S fundraising effort in history... and make a powerful statement in the battle against A ID S.

'm not a cyclist... but I’d

It’s a ride, not a race. The A ID S R de is about com m itm ent not speed. You set your own pace, so you can ride as quickly o r as leisurely as you like. And it's for anyone who wants to get off the sidelines o f life and grow. R ders o f all ages, from all walks o f ________ life, will bicycle three days through some o f the most spectacular scenery in Am erica. It will raise millions o f dollars for A ID S services in Boston, and leave you a changed person.

No way, I could never do that, could I? The R d e is not easy.. .nothing this gratifying is. It’s demanding and challenging.. .and you can do it! Thousands of people have proven it The R d e is your chance to stop thinking and start acting.. .to stop wishing for change and start doing something to create it It’s about setting a goal and proving you can meet it And through the organized training rides we offer throughout the year; your strength, stamina and confidence will build.

Taking action has never mattered more. In any cause there are remarkable people who give of themselves to make a difference. They’re defined by courage and nobility, risk and sacrifice...not hoping for easy answers. Easy doesn’t cut it when A ID S is the leading killer o f people ages 25-44.

to make a difference Photo: Matt Mendelsohn

OK...where do I eat, sleep, shower? The R de is expertly organized and fully supported with hot and cold showers, hot meals, five daily w ater and snack stops, transports for your gear; volunteer massage therapists, roving medical and tech support and much more. W e even provide tw o-person tents.

Where does the money go?

The money raised will benefit the H IV/AID S related services of Boston's Fenway Com m unity Health Center

How do I register or volunteer? Call now. O u r staff will answer all your questions and send you a free color brochure and registration form. W e need volunteers too. This is no time to give up. This is a time to take action. Call today.
