ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS AND WEIRD BUT TRUE NEWS ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE Color Blind Allan Gordon posted a sign beside the paint-mixing machine in his shop in Alford, Scotland, warning, "We will not supply husbands with colored paint without a signed note From their wives." "We have had to change a lot of paint for people in the past," Gordon told the Daily Mail newspaper, noting that since putting up the notice, "men are thinking a bit harder about what they

• Veterinarian Ralph Farnsworth of the University of Minnesota recommended that farmers magnetize their cows at the start of the spring tornado season. He explained that the magnets collect small pieces of metal, which cows often ear while grazing in windblown fields, and "hold them in place so that they cannot move around and injure the animal." The magnets A are inserted with a pill gun.

Urgent Urges

Going Mobile

Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov announced that anyone wishing to move to his city would have to register and pay a fee amounting to thousands of dollars. The Washington Post explained Luzhkov welcomes rich people and members of the hard-working class, but he doesn't want Moscow overrun by people seeking work. Although the 1993 Russian Constitution guarantees freedom of movement and two recent Constitutional Court rulings have upheld that right, Luzhkov said that he doesn't care.

I've just begun reading your latest book, The Straight Dope Tells All. On page 2, while ruminating on the subject of "questions... that give you pause, "you write, "The other clay someone writes in and says, 'If making a robot limb is so hard but other types of machines are easy, how come no animal species has ever evolved wheels?' Had to think about that for a while. " You then go on to answer a completely unrelated question. Could I troubkyou to answer the question you were asked? v ! " ' — Marie Hansen, Saint Augustine, Florida lilllfiilillllf^^ Well, you know me. Always trying to spare my readers the obvious. But now I'm thinking: Maybe they just think they know. We'll see. For starters let's concede the original writer's premise. Robot limbs that faithfully duplicate animal motion are a design nightmare. Coordinating multiple limbs, maintaining balance —- if you think that's easy, try it after you've had a few brewskis. Remember the walking war machines in the Star Wars movies? One reason they were so striking is that they had no real-world counterpart. We use wheels for our vehicles because rolling is so simple. Why doesn't nature? You might say: Because it's impossible. How would such a wheel evolve? Many intermediate steps would be required, but until the proto-wheel became functional (semi-techie talk coming up here), it would be useless baggage offering no selective advantage. just one problem. Some critters already have evolved wheels, sort of. Take the mother-of-pearl moth, Pleurotya ruralis. While in the larval stage, this bug is generally content to amble along in the we'll-getthere-when-we-get-there manner of ail caterpillars. However, when sufficiently startled, P. ruralis hoists itself into a wheel shape and rolls out of harm's way — up to five full revolutions at 40 times its normal walking speed. (OK, so I previously denied there were hoop snakes. Who said anything about hoop caterpillars?) You're not impressed. "Armadillos, tumbleweeds, freaking rocks roll," you say. "What I want to see is a creature with a wheel and Coming right up. The bacterium Escherichia colt, among others, moves by spinning whiplike filaments called flagella like tiny propellers. The typical flagellum is rotated up to several hundred times per second by what is basically an organic electric motor. We know it spins (rather than, say, twisting back and forth like a washing machine agitator) because researchers glued down an R coli flagellum and the critters body spun around like an eggbeater. If this thing isn t a wheel, it's pretty darn close. For an illustration, including an animation of the flagellar motor in action, see: id-www.ucsb.edu/fscf/library/ origins/graphicSKaptions/flagellum.htmL r Z 1 * , You object: ""Who cares about a germ?

poet Robert Browning wrote about a place where "every man is his Own architect." Burlington architect Mannie Lionni has expanded on that idea, and become his own publisher. His quarterly newsletter, 05401, takes a hard look at Burlington's urban landscape with a combination of informative articles and stinging criticism of planners, public officials and anyone else involved in deciding what gets built where.

cism as a badge of honor," says Wing \ £ T A v K e s H w s PAT Building designer John Anderson, who gets \ m TAcrvtf STVL zinged on a regular basis. Michael I-IEM6ILIAS A H T I i y A $ Wisniewski agrees. "I can't wait to get it, even [r «Nwr CvMAfv though I know he is going to be savaging half my buildings...I WAS V\El P A K V I I S think it's important there is a dialogue." So ; how come, after six A Aftm hjAI issues, the vanity pub still reads like a monologue? "There was a lot of stuff I needed to say," Lionni says, acknowledging the current issue, devoted entirely to the Burlington Waterfront, is dominated by his ongoing obsession with saving the Naval Reserve Building; Fifteen- • hundred'copies go out — Lionni finances the printing and a t tribution himself. But it is language, not pictures, that rules the pages of this text-heavy publication. So the eye tends to wander to the margins, which feature some of the best reading: poetry, some of which is in Italian, famous fiction and little blasts of invective aimed at Peter Clavelle, Tom Visser, Doreen Kraft, Paul Bruhn. And Lionni himself. "Why can't I let go of this building?" he writes. "Why does the collective indifference to the fate of this building rankle me so? Can you help me?" At its best, 05401 does what Lionni intended: It "relocates the discussion of architecture into our lives," and strives to make aesthetics part of a larger public discourse. At its worst, it is a self-referential rant that makes the pursuit of beauty even more elitist. Lionni calls himself a populist, yet laments the loss of the waterfront gas tanks from his perfect perch on Lakeview Terrace. What will replace them, he wonders. "More tents? More rock and roll? We sit up here in quiet terror." With one hell of a view.

SEVEN DAYS

IN BRIEF:

David Bethuel Jamieson died six years ago, but

his works live on, at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. T h e prestigious organization, which has an active interest in acquiring African-American art, purchased one of Jamieson's paintings for the permanent collection, just one year after the Fleming Museum honored him with an exhibit of powerful prints. Many of those same images are currently on view at the Corcoran, and curator Linda Simmons notes many of them have "very specific references" to Vermont. Bethuel, who grew up in a foster family, graduated from U V M before he died of AIDS in 1992. He was one of the students who took over the Waterman Building in pursuit of diversity . . . You've heard of He Got Game — the top-selling movie in the United States? Well, I Got Shit for inquiring about it at the corporate office of Hoyts Cinemas. "No one gives interviews here," says Cathy Santora, who was insulted at the suggestion the film's distribution strategy had anything to do with demographics. Remember how the last "black film," Amistad, took the same slow boat to Vermont? "Hoyts is highly offended that anyone would suggest our bookings are racially motivated," Santora snapped. The problem, she claims, is Disney Distribution. The company was not keen on putting a top-grossing picture in a market with a sale on cinema. For the past two weeks, Hoyts has been charging five bucks for admission at all its Burlington screens. Moviegoers can look forward to paying regular rates — for Spike Lee — this Friday. ® may

A growing number of dharma disciples in Vermont pats mind w a r matter MONK BUSINESS Bv P a m e l a

Polston

espite a cloudy sky and intermittent spring showers, it's a sunny day inside the Green Mountain Dharma Center in Hartland. Twenty-some people — including seven children -— are sitting cross-legged on small round cushions this Saturday morning, listening to the imperturbable Sister Annabelle. The room has a fireplace, and on its mantel are vases of fresh flowers, a stick of burning incense, a candle,, and a likeness of the Buddha. .•.„ . i.

Elsewhere in the house, Vietnamese nuns bustle about a capacious kitchen preparing a vegetarian feast; it emanates almost unbearably tantalizing aromas, a challenge to the practice of "mindfulness." As serious and industrious as ants in their brown robes — the shaved heads add to the impression of severity — any one of these petite, brownrobed nuns bursts into a broad smile at the slightest provocation. Today is a special occasion: the Buddha's birthday. Back in the sitting room, Sr. Annabelle is speaking, the cadences of her , British accent seemingly mellowed by some unseen source of amusement. She explains that "we don't really celebrate the birth of the historical person who came to be called the Buddha." This "birthday" is really a celebration of the continuation of Buddha, which is inside you and all living beings, she tells the children — and, for that matter, the adults, who may need to be reminded. In the process of describing the day's ceremony, a symbolic 'washing of the baby Buddha," Sr. Annabelle slips in one of the quintessential lessons — and objectives — of the Zen practice of mindfulness. "When worried or agitated, close your e yes, breathe in and know you

are breathing in," she says, in a way that encourages you to do so. "Breathe out and know you are breathing out. You will find the 'baby Buddha within, and you will know what to do." Later on — after more discussion, walking and sitting meditation, singing and chanting, the ceremony and a muchappreciated lunch eaten in silence — the children will sing "Happy Continuation Day" to the orange-robed doll sitting in for the baby Buddha. They will also sing a song they made up, "Who is Buddha?" that shows they have learned their lesson: "Buddha is compost," their clear young voices chirp. "Buddha is a signpost." Buddha is also mommy and daddy, the ocean and its waves, the elephant and its fleas. Around Hartland, Vermont, at least, Buddha appears indeed to be everywhere.

f Buddha is a signpost, v®* there are plenty of signs around Vermont to indicate the Green Mountain Dharma Center is not so exotic as it may seem. For starters, the center is the chosen second "home" of Thich Nhat Hanh. The world-renowned Vietnamese Zen master is considered by many to be second only to the Dalai Lama — whose two visits to Middlebury College in 1984 and 1990 are still talked about. With a corollary Mindfulness Practice Center in Woodstock, which opened in February — and a planned monastery on the way — Thich's group of practitioners is but the latest community in the state to organize around the principles and practices of Buddhism. Preceding it by many years are the Karme Choi ing and Milarepa meditation centers in Barnet, the Shambhala Center in Burlington, the Zen Center in Shelburne, and other smaller

meditation and study groups, or sanghas — there are three in Montpelier alone. In Lincoln, the Sunray Meditation Center, founded by the Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, a Cherokee, offers study of Native American and Tibetan Buddhist teachings, as well as healing arts. Sunray will break ground next month on a monastery of its own. At some level all the variations of Buddhism overlap and respect each other's leaders and teachings — and inspire those who are not Buddhists at all. Thich Nhat Hanh, also a poet and peace activist, influenced Martin Luther King Jr.'s own teachings on nonviolence (King nominated his friend for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967) and continues to impress thousands of all denominations with his talks and near-constant stream of writings — 75 books to date, 35 of which are still in print. Though he normally tours in three-month stints, Thich Nhat Hanh is making his only North American stop this year a public talk at Norwich University next week, followed by a 21 -day retreat at Saint Michael's College. While the implications of his visit may escape the uninformed, to many others it is an extremely big deal. Having a real master give-talks every day for the entire three weeks, says one disciple, is "kind of priceless." Thich Nhat Hanh lives in exile in Plum Village, his Buddhist community near Bordeaux, France, which includes a retreat center for lay people as well as a monastery. One of the reasons for his tremendous success in the West is "his gift for describing mindfulness in ways everyone can understand and practice," believes Arnold Kotler, editor at Parallax Press, a Bay area publisher that has published about 30 of Thich's books. "He's well-

known for his 'engaged Buddhism,'" adds Kotler, a 16year Zen practitioner himself who will be attending the retreat at St. Michael's. Kotler describes the Zen master's books as either "very popular" or "extremely popular," a track record any novelist would envy. His first big one in English was Miracle of Mindfulness in 1976, which sold over 1.5 million copies and is still going strong. Several others have sold in the 200,000 to 300,000 range. "Virtually _ every bookstore in Affrerica

In fact, Thich Nhat Hanh set his sights on Vermont last year. When he visited the Woodstock area in November, the organizers of his talk had to scramble to find a place large enough. "We sold out 1000 tickets within five days," says

• says, "Its. not unusual for a Barnes & Noble to have 15 or 16 titles on the shelf." This week, the South Burlington store had 12. Kotler explains that there are about 300 small meditation groups around the country, like the one now taking root in Woodstock, following the lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh. In addition to sitting and walking meditations, such centers conduct "dharma discussions about how to bring mindfulness into everyday life," says Kotler. "It's not philosophical at all, but practical, about how to reduce stressfulness." W h y are Buddhists attracted to Vermont? Lincoln-based Ywahoo believes that "the land is still quite alive and responsive to prayer, because Vermonters who have lived here have been very respectful to the land, and on some level are very spiritual." Sr. Annabelle is even more to the point: "It must have a lot to do with the beauty. T h e air is good, very healthy. When people want to go on a retreat, they want to leave the city and go to a beautiful place. That helps them become calm."

i, instant gratification and lots of it, with winning, with being a superpower could want to just "be here now?"

Besides, Vermont is only a six-hour plane ride from Plum Village, she points out. "He can come here more often because of that, and we can look forward to more visits."

Ann Johnston, a South Woodstock mother of two and Zen practitioner for several years. "[Thich] already felt this might be a good place to establish a center in North America. He made an announcement at his talk that he would establish himself in this community." Once said, soon delivered. Parallax Press has been for years the repository of donations from supporters for just this purpose. In addition, "a couple of large private donations kicked in at the time we knew we could buy this house," Johnston explains. "We didn't have enough room for anybody until we bought the farm the Dharma Center is now in. Now I feel that things are starting to become a material reality." Though neither the Zen nor Tibetan Buddhist traditions require proselytizing, Thich Nhat H a n h would like to see the monastery grow — with Americans. "We think that Continued

leading shakuhachi player Ronnie Nyogetsu Seldin. The shakuhachi, as I'm sure you all know, is a Japanese flute, and the art of playing it is way ancient. Along with Freudmann's innovative fello stylings, the result is an odd, and oddly comforting, assemblage of quiet, primordial compositions, entitled Sound of Distant Deer. Freudmann goes it alone at Red Square this Saturday. Continued on page 11

(Hydra Head Records, CD) Short and sweet never meant so much as with Drowningman's new release Busy Signal at the Suicide Hotline. Clocking in ar just over 20 minutes, this eight-tracked (not to be confused with 8-track) rampage is not what you'd call epic. But that doesn't stop the Drowningboys from packing one hell of a wallop on this, their first full-length endeavor. The band has their moves down pat, moving more towards a Deadguy-like sound by throwing an inordinate number of parts together yet somehow escaping that dreaded "too chaotic" feeling. In fact this same abundance of riffs, * ^V- "1 licks and breakdowns makes the disc ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ IIP?' • 1 seem a lot longer, and much more iike a full album than the bands preHfPit' J f l vious efforts. This new state of curtsi ess has much to do with the addi•Bffife 52> M tion of prolific guitarist Daryl » j f l Rabidoux. His thick, sonorous tone M balances nicely with the quicker, cutting sound of Javin Leonard, while mmmMmm&mm Dave Bametts bass assault plows a path for both. Backing up the deal is resident skin-pounder Todd Tomlinson, who displays some of the finest controlled disorder this side of the Mississippi. While the band s been perfecting their brand of rock, frontman Simon Brody has been refining his Lyrical skills. Whereas in the past none of his lyrics made any sense, some now do. The same cannot be said of the song titles. Prime examples are the title track, which is about, well, just what it sounds like, and "Condoning the Use of Inhalants," which seems rather to condemn the practice, Go figure. Either way, Brodys illustrious lyrics make up in style what they lack in logic. "I'm not asking, now I'm telling/Bend your pennies to what you're selling' may not make a whole lot of sense, biksoundsneat, As for his delivery, Brody contrasts his borderline-psychotic scream with an anguished wail, lending weight to lines like, Idiow where you live/Youd better sleep with the lights on,* and raw emotion to melodious breakdowns such as in "Trouble Breathing." All in all, the boy can gargle glass with the best of'em and still show you his sensitive, Cure-listening side. Check out the band this Friday at 242 Main with label- and tour-mates Cable.

NEVER AGAIN, THROUGH BLEEDING HANDS (Pressure Point Records, CD) — Giving your band a name with "never" in the title is inherendy risky, and opens you up to all sorts of derogatory wordplay in negative reviews.

Second, I've always felt that samples (you know, those fun bits of movie or TV audio so commonplace in todays music) should be taken from less-than-prominent sources so as to avoid any unwanted association between your song and the sampled work. At the opening of the first track of Through Bleeding Hands, I couldn't help but conjure up images ofbroadss^ord-wielding Scotsmen. But then again, maybe that's what these guys intended. Those quibbles aside, Never Agains new album is a fine piece of hard-rockin' work, and never again shall I disparage it in any way (couldn't resist, sorry). ** UP THE DOSAGE (Wonderdrug Records compilation CD) — If you're looking for a little bit of everything in the realm of East

ON-AIR HEADS Wanna

be on TV, or just sound like you are? Vermont Public Televisions "The Talk of Vermont" is looking for local recorded music to play during the broadcast — a Thursday evening talk show with host Jeff Kaufman. Executive Producer Joe Merone says they will "gladly feature any Vermont artist regardless of music genre," though I can think of a few that might send viewers running for the mute button. So far its been pretty eclectic — from Motel Brown to The Ground Hog Opry. The "gig" doesn't pay, but gets you statewide exposure, so interested music types, send your tape or CD to Merone at Vermont Public Television, 88 Ethan Allen Ave., Colchester, VT 05443.

HISTORY REPEATING Speaking of public television, the formerly named Vermont ETV shot and later broadcast a dynamo gig from the Blues Tent of the Discover Jazz festival in 1996 (the year it was dedicated to Big Joe Burrell) — 'twas a double bill with The Unknown Blues Band and Austin bluesgod W.C. Clark. Except some of the action ended up on the cutting-room floor, stuff never heard since that night. So the UBB have put together a CD version of the live recording, including sax player Kaz Kazanoff, local guitar hero Kip Meaker, vocalist Christine Adler, trombonist James Harvey and former Burlington trumpeter Joey Somerville. UBB expects to release the disc early this summer. THE TALK OF TOKYO? If you can read Japanese, you're in luck. That means you can decipher what the April 22 issue of the Japanese Newsweek has reported alongside a photo taken inside Burlington's Red Square Bar & Grill. There are owners Mark Gauthier and Jack O'Brien, smiling at the photographer, and a bunch of homies leaning on the bar, nursing brewskis. The photographer was standing about where the musicians set up. I especially want to know what the caption under the photo says. A Seven Days T-shirt to the first person who can translate this:

And, hey, let's have some fun here: A Seven Days T-shirt to the most imaginative pretend translation, judged by me. Send entries to Seven Days, "Turning Japanese," POB 1164, Burlington, VT 05402, or email to sevenday@together.net. Be sure to include name and daytime phone number, and whether your answer is real or imagined. Entrepreneurial types with a penchant for animal houses might want to check out an offer from Lee Diamond, owner of The Kennel Rehearsal Space. A renovated former animal hospital, the soundproofed facility offers seven rooms that beat the noise ordinance, and if it has to close down, who knows where those bands will be making their ungodly racket? Diamond, who manages the Seth Yacovone Blues Band, has become too busy to walk this doggie, so anyone interested in collaring it, call her at 660-2880.

COMIC TIMING Another score for the uniquely prolific musician-cartoonist-painter James Kochalka Superstar — maybe. The Burlington artist shares a New York lawyer with U2, and that fellow's skills will determine whether a couple of Kochalka's songs will become cartoons on "KaBlam!" The popular kids' show on the Nickelodeon cable station already has some cartoons, and the animation studio where they're created just happens to employ some Kochalka fans. "The owner really got into my CDs, so every time he talked to [Nickelodeon], he said they should use my songs," Kochalka explains. Eventually they said yes — to "Hockey Monkey" and "Pizza Rocket" off last year's Monkey vs. Robot, and possibly others down the road if things work out. What's more, Kochalka himself would draw the story boards for the animation. But cautious about getting screwed, he says "if they wanted me to give up the rights to the cartoons, I'd have to say no." That's where a good legal eagle comes in — shall we call him Magic Lawyer? Here's hoping the deal doesn't go ka-blooie. (7)

ourteen children stand in the middle of a basement room at St. T h o m a s Church in Underhill, focused intently on a man's pair of wellworn, black leather shoes. "Shuf-fle, he-el, step, shuf-fle, he-el, step," the owner of the shoes calls out in time with his foot work. Soon 28 small feet, shod in everything from ballet slippers to hiking boots, are following suit, the soft scrape and staccato of their movements creating a hypnotic rhythm. "Excellent," the teacher calls out in accented English to the pint-sized hoofers. "Some people just learn by heart, but they don't understand it. You feel the rhythm. That's very good." T h e children are in the midst of a rehearsal, learning FrenchCanadian step dancing from one of its most accomplished champions, Benoit Bourque, who also plays accordion, guitar, mandolin, recorder, bones and spoons. Theirs is one of three troupes being coached since January by 39-year-old La Danse with

Bourque, the French-speaking force behind La Danse des Enfants, a coordinated convergence of 39 Vermont children and seven professional musicians.

looked around at who was left, and I became concerned that my generation hadn't been paying attention, that so much of our heritage — for example, songs dating back to the 1600s — that had never been written down, would soon be lost." Since that time, Pellerin has taped and transcribed over 1000 songs from all over Quebec and New England. But.

which helps validate their identity." Under the auspices of the Franglais Cultural Center, which she established in 1991, Pellerin has made every effort to do so by developing cultural events, books, cassettes, videos, forums, artist residencies and educational materials. La Danse des Enfants was the logical next step — a way to bridge the growing gap between young and old. Bourque, who has worked with Pellerin on various cultural projects in the past, struck her as the perfect teacher for the job. "He has such a unique style and engaging manner. I knew he would be the best one to convey the spirit to the kids," Pellerin says. Esprit de corps is very much in evidence in Underhill, even before the step dance shoes and costumes arrive. Bourque's young students twirl, bounce and run to opposite corners of the room in preparation for the next dance. The kids love working with Bourque, says Tom Bailey, who brings his 10year-old daughter to Underhill from Waitsfield every week, "because he is always so positive. Even when he is correcting someone," Bailey says, "they still feel good about what they're doing." The children corroborate

this. "I'm excited when I come here," says 11 -year-old Lizzie Dillon of Jericho. Her friends nod vigorously in agreement. "He's great to work with because he's easy to understand." "Except when he counts," another chimes in, laughing. "His English counting gets a little mixed up." Dillon sums it up. "He's precise and he's fun." Fun is de rigueur in Bourquian circles. The performance is, after all, based on dances and music that come out of family gatherings, known as soirees, that have been an integral part of rural life in Quebec for centuries. Bourque is well acquainted with the tradition having grown up in Quebec as one of eight children — a mid-sized brood by French-Canadian standards. Although his family was musical, including a trumpet-playing father and singing siblings who mastered a variety of instruments, it was Bourque who brought dancing to his family soirees. "It all began when I was 13," he recalls, when a friend prompted him to join the school's folk dance troupe. "I thought he was crazy. 'Why would I want to do that?' I asked him. 'That's just for

girls.' 'Exactly!' he answered me. So I joined. We were six boys and 16 girls!" Bourque's eyes twinkle at the thought of the gender inequity, perhaps because he met his wife in a folk dance troupe. "But," he adds, "before I became in love with a girl, I became in love with the dance — step dancing especially." What turned him on? "There was a big, fat guy in the troupe, and he had learned just a few basic steps the year before, but when he did it, he looked so light," reminisces Bourque with characteristic enthusiasm. "I was so impressed how he did that, the rhythms with his feet, I wanted to do the same, be that light, so I was very motivated."

"A good step dancer was expected to dance with a glass of wine on his head, and not spill a drop." - Benoit Bourque

By the time Bourque was 16, he was ready to go beyond standard "folk dance" fare, and began researching traditional French-Canadian dance by spending time with the elders — "getting the real spirit of it," as he puts it. He tells the story of an old Fiddler he witnessed once at a kitchen party. "He started to play, and the music just inspired him," Bourque recalls. "So he got up and started dancing, and he just improvised, just moved as the spirit of the music moved

him." It was an experience that left a lasting impression on Bourque, who also takes the old forms and makes something new with them. For the past couple of years, he has been working with Gaston Bernard, fiddler and mandolin player, and bassist Simon LePage, creating what Bourque refers to as "traditional music with a world beat." Both Bernard and LePage come from Quebec to join Bourque Friday night, while Vermont is represented by Pellerin, her husband John Drury and three other musicians. The children will try their feet at a sampling of step and set dances, songs and percussion with spoons, bones and feet. The step dance, known as la gigue in Quebec, originates from the British Isles, and includes all the dances in which the feet stamp out the rhythm. According to Bourque, "a good step dancer was expected to dance with a glass of wine on his head, and not spill a drop." Set dances include all the couple dances, such as set carre, cotillion, quadrille, contredancing, and rhonde chantees. Bourque hopes to capture the soiree spirit, adding his own spin, of course.

Bv K e v i n J . K e l l e v eading to Montreal from Burlington, nearly all Vermont day-trippers blow right by the inconspicuous exit for St. Jean-surRichelieu. But as demonstrated through a firstever cross-border symposium held there last week, this small city 30 miles north of the Highgate customs station turns out to be well worth a visit. In a couple of respects, St. Jean is actually a more exotic destination than Montreal. With roughly the same population as Burlington, St. Jean serves as the hub of the HautRichelieu region, a hotbed of Quebec nationalism and of French-Canadian cultural pride. Local voters supported the Quebec sovereignty option by a solid 56 percent majority in last year's referendum. Montreal, by contrast, rejected the breakaway initiative, thereby helping tip the province-wide outcome slightly in favor of the uneasy status quo. "People here know that as things stand now they're losing out to English Canada," says Claude Bachand, HautRichelieu's representative in the federal parliament in Ottawa. "It's in our interests to choose sovereignty," adds Bachand, a

largest obstacle to closer ties between Haut-Richelieu and the Burlington area. Despite the region's francophone base, English is understood much more widely in Haut-Richelieu than is French in Vermont. A typical anglophone tourist will actually have little difficulty communicating in St. Jean, but one of that

truly fluent in English, even though they live within a short drive of the world's largest anglophone nation. Most, it seems, have never been to Burlington. The strength of this distinctively Quebecois heritage is at once the region's greatest potential attraction for adventuresome Vermonters and the

member of the nationalist Bloc Quebecois. This brand of politics expresses Haut-Richelieus cultural identity — which appears, on balance, more distinctively French than Montreal's. Fewer than half the regions 100,000 inhabitants are

city's French-only speakers might feel intimidated by the absence of "Ici O n Parle Francais" signs on the Church Street Marketplace. Mayor Peter Clavelle acknowledges that this language barrier will impede development of the "Triangle of Excellence" that was inaugurated last week by officials from St. Jean, Burlington and Plattsburgh, New York — the symposium attended by officials and business leaders of all three communities began an exploration of ways they may foster closer economic, cultural and tourism-related ties. Cultural exchanges are envisioned as a key component of a closer three-sided relationship, but Claude Bachand points out that St. Jean's summer theater festival is unlikely to draw many New Yorkers or Vermonters. "We'd love to have them come," Bachand says, but since the productions are all done in French, "Englishspeakers won't get the jokes." Burlington doesn't have any plans to promote French fluency among its residents. Clavelle himself, however, hopes to arrange an exchange whereby one of his children will spend a week in the francophone home of the mayor of Iberville, a smaller city directly across the Richelieu River from St. Jean. Plattsburgh does more than

Burlington to encourage bilingualism, Clavelle concedes. Signage, at least, reflects Plattsburgh's consideration of French visitors, and Mayor Clyde Rabideau made the much-appreciated gesture of delivering his remarks partly in French at last week's Triangle of Excellence symposium. Once they overcome any linguistic anxieties, Burlingtonians will find much to enjoy during a day's outing in HautRichelieu. There are some 25 vineyards in the region, many of which serve wine and food to visitors. An agricultural museum and a preserved 19th-century settlement are twin tourist attractions near the village of L'Acadie. St. Jean itself features a ceramics museum and a downtown visual arts center, currently displaying works by one of Quebec's foremost sculptures, Alfred Lalibert^ (1878-1953). Many of Haut-Richelieu's tourist sites, as well as its expanses of farm land, are easily accessible by bicycle. The area boasts an extensive network of bike paths, some extending for many miles along the canal that runs beside the Richelieu River. Downtown St. Jean, however, does not take full advantage of its riverside setting. On a recent sunny afternoon, only a few strollers were making use of

the one small riverfront park, which is situated next to the dock for a tour boat. "The city often turns its back on the river," laments Bachand, whose parliamentary office is located in a half-vacant office building in St. Jean's old and scruffy core. Despite the presence of a

The 10-squareblock Vieux St. Jean looks more exhausted than quaint. But the architectural quality of many of its 19th-century brick buildings would shine forth, were renovations and cosmetic improvements carried out. Downtown St. Jean's potential charm was apparent to the producers of "Lassie."

N o r t h America needs monks and nuns of N o r t h American origin," says Sr. Annabelle, "because they understand their society. W h e n Buddhism takes root in a country, it takes root in the culture; you can't separate religion from the culture, that's why we need European and American Buddhism." While lay practitioners learn how to be mindful and compassionate, Sr. Annabelle explains that one of the objectives of the monastic life is, more specifically, to help relieve suffering — similar to the Catholic clergy. "In Europe, monks and nuns go to prisons to give counseling, to listen to prisoners, to try to respond to what is the best way to be in the correctional system and to suffer less. H o w can you help a person transform?

" f hich Nhat Hanh already felt this might be a good place to establish a center in North America. He made an announcement at his talk that he would establish himself in this community." — Ann Johnston

"In Vermont the correctional system recognizes that punishment is not enough," Sr. Annabelle continues. 'We need to educate persons in a correctional facility to repent of what they did, determine how to begin anew, learn to deal with anger, how to live life a different way."

n some ways, the idea of an American Buddhist is almost oxymoronic. H o w

is it that a society obsessed with speed, instant gratification and lots of it, with winning, with being a superpower could want to just "be here now?" In fact, we might be attracted to observing our breath move

slowly in and out precisely because we are so breathless; to learning compassion because we are so obsessed with self. And in fact, plenty of Americans, not just Vermonters, are embracing

"dharma activity" with open arms — a fact that inspired recent large features in Time, Newsweek and Far Eastern Economic Review. Of course, this being the good old USA, much of the hubbub is celebrity-driven — Times cover featured Brad Pitt, from his • movie, Seven Years in Tibet, and touts the second Dalai Lama-oriented film of '97,. Martin Scorsese's Kundun. The cause of the Tibetan people, politically and culturally repressed by the Chinese since 1959, has been popularized, if not actually helped, by practitioners with star power, notably Richard Gere. Tina Turner chants along with fellow members of Nichiren Shoshu, a Japanese Buddhist sect. Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson goes on record as a "Zen Christian." Many Americans now know Robert Thurman is a leading Buddhist scholar because he's Umas dad. And, get this, action-hunk Steven Seagal was recently heralded as a reincarnation of a Tibetan monk of the Nyingma lineage — surely his most challenging role to date. The Dalai Lama himself has even appeared in a recent ad campaign for Macintosh computers, though he otherwise shrugs off glamorization as, perhaps, only an enlightened being can. But aside from the vagaries of politics and the fashions of pop culture, Buddhism has slowly and steadily grown in the U.S. since at least the 1950s, when the Beats made Zen poetically hip. In the '70s, thousands of dissatisfied baby boomers and peaceniks flocked to the teachings of the magnetic Tibetan emigre, Trungpa Rinpoche, who founded the Naropa Center in Boulder — as well as Barnet's Tail of the Tiger, which is now Karme Choling. The politically charged appeal of the Dalai Lama has provided a galvanizing focal point for generations of disciples and supporters, and his fame has put a quite loveable human face on the enigmatic ways of the East. The seven-year-old Buddhist quarterly Tricycle, with a subscribership of 55,000, is the largest American Buddhist publication, and the only independent journal devoted to examining, well, just about everything through the lens of Buddhist principles. Interestingly, Tricycles publicity department puts the number of Buddhists in the U.S. at around one million — not counting another eight to 10 million immigrants. (Burlington's 75 Tibetans, brought by the Tibetan Resettlement Project, for example, are Buddhists who may- or may not be actively

practicing.) October's Far Eastern Economic Review concurs, suggesting that "at least a million native-born Americans have converted to Buddhism, most of them in the last 10 years." These guesstimates contrast hugely with Times unattributed census of 100,000 American Buddhists. Getting an accurate head count, apparently, is about as difficult as emptying one's mind while one's legs are falling asleep.

sphere was no translation into Tibetan, apparently, for the Western concept of "self-hatred." When the Dalai Lama was finally made to understand what it meant, he said, "Surely there is no such thing."

^ earning to live life a difI (G^ f e r e n t way is easier said than done, but Buddhists are patient and liberal teachers. The Buddha himself declared that Buddhism is not a religion but "a system of action and consciousness," says Michael Billingsley, the practice and study director of Central Vermont Sangha in Montpelier. It can be incorporated into any other belief system — even atheism. Both Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama have encouraged people to stick with their native traditions and add mindful living to the equation. Not surprisingly, then, the actual practice of Buddhism looks a little different depending on whom you ask — though some form of meditation is common throughout, and the basic principles of mindfulness, compassion for all living beings, and a stress on "right actions" are the same. Ultimately, the "goal" is

enlightenment, though that is not an end point. "Even if you get enlightened, that clarity is for the benefit of all beings," says Billingsley, stressing Buddhism's fundamental understanding of interconnectedness: "Envision a universe of an interwoven net that no one is free of and is embraced by," he suggests. Billingsley, who began his practice at Tail of the Tiger in the early '70s, notes that the teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche spoke of the "spiritual materialism" of American students. "They try to prove they've 'made it' and have all those special signs of enlightenment," he says. In Buddhism, in other words, pride is a fall. At the Zen Center in Shelburne, sessions with Sensei (teacher) Sunyana Graef include two weekly rounds of zazen — walking and sitting meditation that may conclude with a chanting service and discussion. The center also holds regular five- and sevenday retreats for the purpose of helping members focus and improve upon their practice. Graef lives in Shelburne but also presides over two "sister" groups, in Toronto and Costa Rica.

"The Shambhala tradition is based on the principle of waking up, " explains Myra Woodruff, a teacher at Burlington's Shambhala Center, which, founded in 1970, is one of the oldest in North America. "One who is brave enough to 'wake up' is called a warrior; the discipline includes being truly gentle and without fear, and communicating that to the world."

At Sunray in Lincoln, Ywahoo describes a practice that includes an awakening "dance that is a prayer and also clarifies energy pathways in the body." The objective of prayers and meditations, she says, are to "pacify one's mental state

Prevails

The goal of practicing, Graef says, depends on the individual. "If you're a violin player, your goal may be to play Paganini in a concert," she suggests. "Or it may be to play fiddle in a barn dance." Members flock to the Zen Center basically "to come to self-realization," Graef continues. "For awakening, to find out who and what you are. Some people practice because they want to be more peaceful, happier, less stressed out."

Shambhala offers classes and sessions in meditation, study based on Tibetan Buddhist teachings, and what Woodruff calls a "contemplative approach through the arts, education, livelihood, health care and psychology."

T h e set is itself a minor tourist attraction that may be of special interest to Vermonters. T h e current version of "Lassie" takes place in the fictional Hudson Falls, Vermont. And when T V viewers get a glimpse of the Hudson Falls Coffee Shop, what they're actually seeing is an exterior sign affixed to one of those vacant stores in downtown St. Jean. T h e city's similarity to Plattsburgh includes the presence just outside the downtown area of a disused military installation. T h e 42-acre College Militaire Royale isn't as enormous as the former . Plattsburgh Air Force Base, but both sites feature some fine examples of 100-year-old military architecture. St. Jean officials talk of converting the riverside compound into a disaster-response training center. For now, it houses a small museum and some plaques explaining the historic significance of the site, where fortifications were first erected in 1660

and make apparent an ideal for right action and beneficial activity." T h e c o m m o n threads between her Native American and Tibetan Buddhist paths are "kindness and compassion for all beings" and an "understanding of appearances arriving from space" — inner, not outer. T h o u g h she is careful to protect his identity — and his childhood — Ywahoo's own son has been identified as the reincarnation of a certain lama, which has strengthened Sunray's ties with the Tibetans. Thich N h a t Hanh's "mindfulness" practice includes sitting meditations with full awareness of breath, walking meditations in nature, dharma discussion groups, in which people share experiences and problems in their practice, tea meditations, and meals eaten in silence. (Contrary to rumors on campus, the students and faculty will not be required to remain m u m during the St. Mikes retreat, assures S M C special events manager Pam Bissette; all, however, are welcome to attend.) Ann Johnston's distillation of mindfulness into everyday life is perhaps the best indicator that you don't have to be monklike to be a Buddhist. "There are lots of ways to practice," she says. " O n e thing is, when the telephone rings, I let it ring three times and take three calming breaths before I

answer. Before I turn the key in my ignition, I put my hands on the wheel of the car and think about how I don't need to rush to where I'm going," she adds. "I will get there whether I hurry or not." Johnston visits the Mindfulness Practice Center, where she also volunteers, several times a week, and tries to take a full day of mindfulness on Thursdays. "In times of anxiety I've used walking meditation and completely tranformed my anxiety," she says. "It's been really effective for me." Effective, in other words, at balancing the pace of modern life, and reversing typical Western responses to it. It will be a long time before there is such a thing as "native" Buddhism in N o r t h America. But, considering it took three centuries for the "way" to take hold in China, developments in the U.S. are characteristically speedy. "The Tibetans are very fond of us because we're so intellectually active," says Michael Billingsley, referring to Americans' characteristic curiosity and can-do attitude. "But at the same time they're very compassionate because we're the most deluded society in the world." T h e Tibetans also, as Bill Clinton might say, feel our pain. Billingsley relates an incident in which the Dalai Lama was being interviewed on National Public Radio and, in the conversation, his translator

got stuck on a word. There was no translation into Tibetan, apparently, for the Western concept of "self-hatred." W h e n the Dalai Lama was finally made to understand what it meant, he said, "Surely there is no such thing." Assured that there certainly was, says Billingsley, "the Dalai Lama shook his head and practically cried to think there are people who could be haunted by such a thing." Americans are also a people, of course, who can have fun with just about anything, as the following joke suggests: What did the Buddhist say to the hot-dog vendor? Make me one with everything.

magine this: You're standing on a two-foot-by-three foot platform. Ahead and slightly above you is a suspended trapeze bar. It appears that you could probably grab it, with some effort. You have this strong awareness inside that it would be very meaningful to pull this off. Now look down. The platform is securely bolted to a sturdy maple tree. There is 30 feet of air between your feet and the ground below. In spite of your earlier assertion that you are not afraid of heights, your brain, stomach and knees are all sending you messages to the contrary. To make matters more interesting, a group of your co-workers are standing below, some calling out words of encouragement, some wondering if you will do it, or back down. Sounds like fun, eh? Welcome to the world of a ropes course, where personal growth is not just something you sit in a cushy chair and talk about. Looking to enhance trust and communication? Want to take healthy risks in a supportive environment? Curious about how your particular group handles decision-making and problemsolving? An afternoon in an outdoors "experiential education" setting could provide answers that you never knew existed. The Pine Ridge Adventure Center in Williston provides a tremendous variety of safe, challenging experiences for over 5000 individuals per year. School groups, corporate departments, sports teams, and families all travel to their 100acre site for a variety of programs. Part of the Pine Ridge School, a renowned educational center for learning-disabled students, the Adventure Center conducts off-site programs and wilderness experience trips in addition to its ropes course offerings. Last Sunday was the "Mothers and Daughters" program, and of course, there will be a corresponding "Fathers and Sons" on Fathers Day. There are specific programs for

couples, those with leadership roles, and college students. In addition, many businesses use the Center for enhancing workplace productivity. Most of us function in various groups, yet it's rare that we take the time to understand

or enhance how those groups operate. We need the support, trust and communication of those around us, but without specifically looking at how this happens, we may fall back on dimly understood patterns or expectations. One of the ideas of experiential education is that "recreation" and "re-creation" can happen at the same time. Several key elements in any ropes course experience function both as ground rules, and as valuable, transferable metaphors. The first is known as "The Full-Value Contract," which means that every partic-

ipant is equally valued for their unique perspectives and contributions to the group. No "dissing," no inflated egos, no exceptions. All must agree to abide by and respect the FullValue Contract, or it just doesn't work.

The second concept is called "Challenge by Choice." If someone isn't interested in a particular risk, for whatever reason, that decision is respected without judgment. Thus each person can decide for themselves where their personal "edge" is, and how and when they find their own comfort level in challenging it. The course is roughly divided into what are known as "low" and "high" elements. The low elements are constructed so that they provide formidable challenges, but are accessible without using special safety gear. They require par-

debriefing. It's not enough just to go out and "do it." What did it mean, what did you feel, how did your team support you, what did you learn? The value of the experience is discussed immediately, so that the synergy between body and mind is fresh and accessible. The instructors supplant their skill as technical experts with that of a group facilitator. Observations, opinions and laughter are shared so that integration of the experience occurs.

.OUTDOORS ticipants to size up the situation, communicate as a group, set some operational rules, observe safety precautions and hopefully achieve a goal. One of the most popular low elements is called the "Mohawk Walk." Taut steel cables are strung in a line between several trees, suspended at a height of one foot or so above the ground, with the trees from six to 15 feet apart. The goal is to have the whole team start at the beginning, and all cross over the cables to the last tree. One slip, one foot touching down, means everybody starts over. It soon becomes apparent that only by a carefully supporting "relay" of team members down the line will the goal be attained. The high elements are the most dramatic, and for most folks offer the greatest test of courage. Only the most fastidious safety measures are used, including mandatory helmets, double inspections of climbing harnesses and knots, and a set of no-nonsense verbal commands. Once the instructor is satisfied that the rigorous safety standards are being upheld, the participants ascend. Most of the high elements are 20 to 30 feet off the ground. Some are designed so that they only work if there are two people involved. Others are solo ventures. In the Space Walk, you reach out from an elevated platform and grab a suspended rope. Putting your foot in a loop, you swing until you can reach the next rope in a series, where you transfer your foot out of the first rope and into the second, and so on, until you reach the platform on other side. My personal favorite is the Zip Line. After climbing up to another platform, the instructor hooks your harness into a pulley that sits on a heavy steel cable. When you are ready you step forward, and gravity pulls you down and away, allowing you to experience the kid-like rush of flying through space. After finishing a low or high element, an important part of the program is a

In spite of your earlier assertion that you are not afraid of heights, your brain, stomach and knees are all sending you messages to the contrary. Now back to you, standing on that same scary platform — known amongst the instructors as the "Pampers Platform," because that's what many folks report they need once they get up there. Because this element is the last in your group's program, and because you are completely satisfied that the safety equipment has been checked out, the instructor's belaying skills are impeccable and you have the trust and support of your team, you decide to go for it. Wiping your sweaty palms one last time, and taking a large gulp of oxygen, you lunge forward. Your teammates below let out a gigantic whoop as you curl your fingers around the bar, and swing like you were the featured act at Barnum &C Bailey's. As you are gently lowered to the ground, a large grin spreads across your face. Somehow, you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that the challenges awaiting you on Monday at the office will not seem quite so daunting. ®

MUCH ADIEU ABOUT 'NOTHING' here was going to be a millennium party. I fact, there were going to be two, remember? Dueling end-ofthe-century soirees, one thrown by Kramer, the other by his bulbous buddy Newman. Suddenly, though, the party's over. An era is ending, but no one feels much like celebrating. This Thursday a record number of television sets will

And yet, if you ask me, the real shame isn't that "Seinfeld" is going off the air — tragedy enough — but that it didn't have to end this way. Don't let

his breezy demeanor fool you: In the cathode cosmos, the show's star is for all practical purposes a god. Or at any rate the program has made him richer than God. In my heart of hearts I haven't the slightest doubt that forfeiting this heavenly half-hour of divine comedy is the price mere mortals must pay for the sin of blasphemy. Well, for freedom of the press, anyway. I refer, of course, to the handful of blowhard media critics who greeted the first few episodes of the '97-'98 season with undue derision, and the dimwit hordes who quickly jumped on the bandwagon in

newspapers, magazines and electronic media across the country. It's hard to recall in these Monica-saturated times, but there was actually a time when the notion that the "Seinfeld" machine might be running out of gas was major headline material. Here, after all, was a show that had virtually reinvented the American sitcom, shot to the top of everyone's list, injected the culture with countless catchphrases, crystallized the sensibility of a decade, and in every respect met or surpassed the criteria for phenomenon status. It had been a long time since anyone in the media had knocked the show. Doing so

So, was it arrogant of Jerry to punish many for the sins of the few? Couldn't he have taken a lesson from President Bill and silently ridden out the whole brouhaha? Will the final 30-second commercial spot sell for a sum approaching the national debt? Why does everyone call it "the show about nothing?" Sure, Seinfeld himself made that joke in a single episode (#42), but clearly the genius of the series is its gift for recognizing the little things that define our lives. It's the majority of television shows past and present — fake, laugh-track, crap T V — that isn't about anything. "Seinfeld" broke the mold by being about the minutia and marginalia of which real life is made. So here we are now, just hours from the end. This time next week, only unanswered questions will remain. Those and a syndication afterlife that simultaneously will make Jerry Seinfeld even richer, and give

got journalists lots of attention. Unfortunately, one of the people paying attention was Jerry Seinfeld. Initially, the comedian responded with bemused surprise, reminding everyone that it wasn't fair to judge an entire season by its first few episodes, and offering reassurance that great stuff was still on the way. It was too late, though; from coast to coast blabbermouth bucketheads stuffed their T V columns with jabs at the comedy and its alleged dip in quality, even as the program continued to earn its network unparalleled rates, and its stars unprecedented salaries. It was just a matter of time until the announcement came. Winners like to go out while they're still on, and if the suggestion of a downhill slide was going to be promoted by the press, the co-creator and guiding force behind the greatest show on earth could hardly be faulted for figuring it was probably time to pull the plug. I've got to be honest: It wasn't the greatest season in the show's history. A typical episode was maybe 75 percent as brilliant as the show was in its prime, though most had a moment or two as wickedly, inventively, undeniably funny as anything ever seen on TV. Which occasions the question: Who in his right mind wouldn't want to keep a show this good around? Even as a 75-percent shadow of its former self, "Seinfeld" is far and away better than any other comedy on the air. "Just Shoot Me," "Friends," "News Radio" — these are all sawier than average shows, but they'll never fill Jerry's Nikes. As N B C will surely find when it turns his prestigious slot over to one of them next fall.

us bereft fans a reason to go on. If you ask me, it's a damn shame. And it isn't just Thursday night that's not going to be the same; life itself simply won't be as interesting or as much fun anymore. Not since the break-up of The Beatles has popular culture suffered such diminishment. But what are you going to do? Assuming, I mean, that you're not one of the scads of magazine publishers, entertainment show producers or hired network publicity guns who've decided the thing to do is make a buck off the tragedy. For example, have you checked out a magazine rack lately? "Seinfeld" tribute publications are coming out of the walls! And by itself, TV Guide has glutted the market with a fat, glossy farewell deal and four different versions of its weekly magazine, each with a different cast member on the cover. And there are dozens more. If you doubt this is a big deal, try to find even a single mention anywhere of the imminent final episodes of "Cybill," "Grace Under Pressure" or "Murphy Brown," much less an entire section at the supermarket check-out devoted to publications commemorating them. I'll tell you what I'd like to do. Remember the episode when George parked his father's car in a handicapped space and, by the time he, Jerry, Kramer and Elaine emerged from the mall, an angry mob had reduced the vehicle to scrap metal? Well, my personal dream would be to take a rabble just like that on a tour of the media sources where all those pinhead critics work, and exercise a little freedom of expression in their

Even as a 75-percent shadow of its former self, "Seinfeld" is far and away better than any other comedy on the air. various parking lots. A nice long walk to work would give them plenty of time to think about what they've done to their fellow humans. What I will in reality do, I suppose, is just tape the final episode, watch it through misty eyes a couple of times, have a cocktail — I believe it was Nietzsche who said, "What doesn't kill us makes our drinks stronger" — and undergo grief therapy. I'll get on with my life, like everyone else, somewhat the sadder for the demise of "Seinfeld," but better for having known it. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 0

Yes, there are nit-picky little holes in the films logic, but, really, what do you want from a movie that features a thousandfoot-high tidal wave reaching from New York City to the Ohio River Valley? The idea in the case of a film like Deep Impact is to go with the flow, so to speak, and assuming you're capable of swinging that for a couple of hours, I think you'll find the going unusually good.

As pricy, star-packed digital confections go, the latest from Mimi (The Peacemaker) Leder is a deliciously ridiculous little white-knuckle ride. Tea Leoni is one of several focal points in the multipronged saga. An ambitious young television newswoman, she draws a bead on what she thinks is a story about a politician conducting a secret affair. As it turns out, her investigation into the hushed calls the senator has been overheard making leads to the White House. Morgan Freeman gives another trademark graceful performance as the President of the United States and, as Leoni discovers quite by accident, the leader of the free world has bigger things than bimbos on his mind. A comet the size of Mount Everest is on a collision course with Earth, and world leaders have been working together for months on a classified, top-secret plan to save the planet.

shots in an attempt to intercept the comet. The plan is to plug a halfdozen nukes into its surface and blow the projectile off-course. As with so many bright ideas that come out of Washington, though, the plan backfires. The explosion simply shaves off a slice of rock and ice miles wide so suddenly, the people of Earth are looking at death from above times two. Well, you get the idea. Things look bleak. The folks who put the movie together give the story a compelling human dimension as we follow several characters (among them Leoni's mother, elegantly played by Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood as the high school kid who initially discovered the oncoming comet, and Leoni herself), and watch as they make preparations for the end of the world. Plotlines hit on all pistons; there isn't a lull between first frame and last. And the effects, for the most part, live up to expectations. Armegeddon, if you ask me, hasn't been this much fun since the old Cold War days of Testament.

luxury for a refined post-modernist. The handle of the pot arches forward gracefully into space, and the whole design seems to look forward as well, with slightly awkward proportions that find an inherent unity. MacDonald has avoided any easy references to Art Deco, or to middle 20th-century modernism. Another example of his recycling of old idioms into new approaches is "ADK." Based on the design of traditional Adirondack chairs, MacDonald considers the piece a "limited-edition sculpture." The chair is I a stainless steel lightning bolts that in a

times.

Most bronze contains tiny traces of old cannon and fallen bells. Even small, everyday objects made from a few pounds steel or aluminum often began as a few tons of automobile or airplane. If the handiwork of a metal sculptor is compelling enough to avoid the flame from which it came, perhaps the freshly fashioned object will have a future of its own. If not, it will vanish into the molten stream of history to eventually become a minute part of some other ounce of human art or industry. There are many different points of view among the 15 sculptors whose works are currently featured in the "Heavy Metal" exhibit at Frog Hollow Craft Center in Burlington. But these sculptors all probably share John Blaha's faith that "these works will be around for centuries." Blaha's own focus is bronze, and his three miniature effigies ' by John Blaha of the pelvic regions are small and eccentric enough that perhaps they will thunderstorm could easily indeed be around for awhile. become a genuine electric O n "Trap," guitar strings and chair.

top sculpture fulfils that function perfectly. The copper abstraction is an unfolded cone. Its turquoise patina is reminiscent of ancient bronzes, and has the grace of a perfect potato chip. The edges of this undulating shape have been snipped and rearranged in a few places to add a needed contrast within the abstraction's edge. It defies any beginning or ending point, and perhaps the irregularities on its edge and broader surfaces are what save this piece from becoming overly placid. Blaha wrote in his artist's statement that "working with bronze is my shot at immortality." It seems to be a common

14-20

ARICS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Many astrologers seem to think the planet Saturn is the cosmic equivalent of a crabby old tyrant whose goal in life is to limit our freedom. I vigorously resist this notion. Many people, it's true, don't want to respond to Saturn's pressure to focus and concentrate. They don't like being pressured to tread the very specific path they came into this world to master. They want to wander all over the damn place, try out other peoples paths, and indulge the luxury of taking forever to become themselves. But those folks should not be allowed the last word on Saturn. As I hope you Aries have discovered in recent years, there's no better ally than the ringed planet when it comes to the project of harnessing and disciplining your wildest, most beautiful powers. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Here are some of the Taurean geniuses whose birthdays we'll be remembering this week: Socrates, Dennis Hopper, Malcolm X, Pope Jean Paul I I , and Wizard of Oz creator L. Frank Baum. Uncoincidentally, I believe your immediate future will be a blend o f the outstanding qualities o f those characters. You can expect a rash of stimulating questions, a manic dose o f entertaining craziness, a surge o f revolutionary zeal, a brush with good-hearted yet narrowminded fanaticism, and a robust

relationship with worlds created by . ~ lillll i magma

other-cheek attitude in the face of the rude resistance you'll face this week. N o matter how relentlessly the bastards try to drag you down, they w o n t succeed as long as you refuse to turn into a bastard yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Marcia Ann Taylor, a self-described "Cancerian bitch goddess" from Morro Bay, CA, recently wrote to tell me her creed: "I will gladly suffer a fool on the hill, but no fools in the swamp, thank you." As you Crabs slip into a time when you will passionately need the inspirations of dreamers but most definitely not need the manipulations of hallucinators, I urge you to take Ms. Taylor's affirmation to heart. LCO (July 23-Aug. 22): Contrary to what some horoscope fans believe, there's no such thing as predestination. Fate is a tricky, wiggly sucker that keeps changing its mind about where it wants to go. T h e stars may impel, as the astrological saying goes, but they don't compel That's why I've never really considered myself a fortuneteller. I prefer to think that m y ; 4 s

close your eyes while you read the following hypnotic suggestion. Tonight

sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll could work just as well. (Note to any war-on-drug you will have a dream of flying through the freaks who're reading this: I'm probably twilight sky with exhilarating ease. And as using the fifth word of the last sentence you soar high above the site of your biggest as a metaphor.)

problem, it will look very, very small Tomorrow you will be amazed when your dream works some very practical magic. OK, now, where were we, Virgo? As I was saying, effervescent messages from afar are struggling to find their way to you. Pretend you're a radio telescope constantly scanning the skies for distant communiques. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): O n e fine day in the year 1917, the French Dadaist painter Marcel Duchamp signed a urinal, renamed it "The Fountain," and pronounced that forever thereafter, it should be considered a work of art. In that spirit, I hereby put my stamp of approval on the gnarled mess of melodrama that you heroically lived through last week. I give it the tide, "The Redemption," and declare that it shall be eternally recognized as a goddamn masterpiece of soulful heroism. As for the week to come: Take your irom one o f Duchamp's

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pretty weird fantasies you've been entertaining there lately, Sagittarius. Burning down fireproof bridges. Throwing away jewels. Chomping on the hand that feeds you. Stealing stuff that already belongs to you. Running away from beasts that aren't even chasing you. If I wasn't so sure it was just a passing phase, I'd be worried that you were setting yourself up for a date with the dungeonmaster, if you know what I mean, or a showdown with a karmic judge. Be a sweetheart, will you, and stop letting your imagination generate all those creepy mirages? And I mean d o it cold turkey, Sajjy baby.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I recendy found out that I'll be named Psychic o f the Year by People magazine in 2001. Goddess-worshiping, Emily Dickenson-quoting extraterrestrials in

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sean Langley, an Aquarius reader from Baltimore, recently had the nerve to write m e the following plea: "Stop predicting so much potent magic for me! I can't handle it. Send me some tamer stuff, please — before I implode!" I hate to break it you, Sean, and to any other members of your tribe w h o share your perspective, but the woefully taxing, gloriously empowering, accursedly confusing, ecstatically heartening mojo is

just gonna keep on coming. For the next week, however, you will have a brief respite from the crush. Use this time to ripen your relationship with the unbelievable gifts that've forced themselves into your life.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A rich and

sinuous archetype that starts with "S" is desperately trying to reach you with sign language, smoke signals, skywriting, and subliminal messages. For some reason you haven't tuned in yet — maybe because you've been distracted by the buzz of vaguely interesting but ultimately meaningless trivia that's threatening to turn your brain into a kind o f psychic paper shredder. As a result, I have been authorized by "S" to break your trance and hiss, "Psssssssssssst!" (7) „ , You can call Rob Broxsny, day or night for your
