CIVIL WAR Aren’t Democrats fun? This year all the dust 1 in the Statehouse has been kicked up by Dems | while the Republicans politely shuffle along in | bedroom slippers. Last week’s appointment o f Rep. Ann * Hallowell to fill Sen. Jack Barry’s seat was a 1 beautiful artillery shot fired by Gov. Howard | Dean across the bow o f the S.S. L’il Stevie | Wonder. The message to party chairman Steve » Howard and the rest o f the liberals was clear. * But this is a family newspaper, so we won’t I print it here. No need to. You get the drift. The liberals wailed because Ho-Ho so very I deliberately thumbed his nose at them and the S « » n /> 11 . 1 • 1 . • f ‘process” for filling legislative vacancies. David I Curtis, who lost a $30,000 senate bid in i November, called H o-H o’s action “outrageous.” Even Lt. Gov. Doug Racine took a swing at | this one. He told Inside Track that he personalI ly expressed his displeasure to Howard III for “ ignoring the county committee. He was quick 1 to add, though, that he considered Ann | Hallowell a marvelous pick. Randy Amis, who heads up the Chittenden I County Democratic Committee, got the call ^ from Ho-Ho the night o f Jack’s funeral. He had * already printed up the meeting notices for | Democrats to come together | May 21 at the Boathouse and select three names to recomI mend to Dean. At least Ho-Ho had the 1 decency to call. “He said he | wanted to move quickly,” recalls Amis. “And he said he wanted I someone with little or no learning curve, someone he could Swork with.” | The governor clearly was not | seeking any input from the county chairman. “It’s always I pretty straightforward with 1 Howard,” says Amis. “He didn’t | ask. He was telling.” Amis says they’re going for» ward with the Boathouse meet® ing, anyway. They still have to I come up with three recommen| dations for a replacement for | State’s Attorney Scot Kline. Plus I they can discuss the current state o f the Vermont Democratic Party and other interesting topics. | Look, this is war. Did anyI body really think there was a * chance he’d appoint a liberal to fill Jack Barry’s * seat? O f course not. He picked a Howard Dean | Democrat, and a pretty hot ticket at that. | Hallowell had pretty much decided not to | run for a fourth term in the House. She wasn’t "exactly on the “A” list in the Democratic cau* cus. That’s Michael Obuchowski country, and 1 two years ago Ann was a key member o f the | Peter Mallary for Speaker cheerleading squad. | Mallary lost. There were some bad feelings, and I they lingered. Mallary didn’t seek re-election to ®the House last fall, and Rep. Gerry Gossens, a 1 cohort, failed in his first attempt at a senate | seat. Some o f the liberal Dems, used to march| ing to Ralph Wright’s tune, considered Mallary’s I March to Nonpartisan Government political * treason. Sen. Hallowell acknowledges her future I was very bleak in the House. She’d never move § up and snag a chairmanship as long as Obie | and crew called the shots. As one veteran House I Democrat said, “Now there’s one less o f them jj over here.” i Despite her billing as a “moderate” | Democrat, Ann says her former political science | professor, Frank Bryan, considers her “the most | liberal thing that ever walked the earth.” But she’s part o f the new Howard Dean Democratic

Party o f Fiscal Responsibility. In January she spoke passionately on the House floor in oppo sition to back-filling last year’s ANFC cuts. Now with a looming $35 million surplus rolling in, the situation’s changed. That was then, this is now. Hallowell says she’s only “conservative” on the spending side and “does very well” on the environment. “There are not too many people sighing,” she notes, “except when I talk about spending wisely.” Besides, Ann Hallowell can tap dance. Really. The New Jersey native can also sing, and | early in life had her sites set on opera. Soprano. A big voice. At one point she was going to do Wagner. Hallowell graduated from Wheelock College | in 1960. She hosted a kids show on public tele- j vision reading stories to children. “We didn’t have Big Bird,” she remembers. “We had me.” Ann taught nursery school, and when she returned to the classroom in 1982 to earn two political science degrees, several of her UVM classmates had been in her nursery school class. “I taught them to tie their shoes before Velcro,” she boasts. Outside Looking In — Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone really fired up the crowd at the Democratic fundraiser at the Sheraton last week. He wasn’t just lucky. He’d been prepped. And Inside Track has obtained a copy of the memo that prepped him for the Vermont audience that night. Some of it’s kinda cute. “EXPECTED TU R N O U T — THIS IS AN AMAZING T U R N O U T FOR VT DEMS! Your audience is the left wing o f g the party, lots o f activists, labor.” He was informed that party | chairman Steve Howard “is sup- | posed to be announcing tomor row that he is gay.” And t o $ that Auditor Ed Flanagan ‘Ys the highest-ranking openly gay statewide official in the nation. As for Lite-Gov. Doug Racine, Wellstone’s staff ■ L g | revealed “left-wingers don’t m I think he’s much of a fireball, but he’s known as a straight shooting, ‘clean’ politician.” Hey, every party should have at least one. Too bad he didn’t show. Under a section labeled “BACKGROUND” were the following tidbits about our state. “Note: Bernie Sanders, independent, repre sents Burlington area, just fyi, he obviously won’t be there. “All this flap in the VT clips over fundrais ing, your event, is just jockeying for a run against Dean in cycle 1998 for the year 2000. “Leahy flipped on late term, disappointing pro-choicers. “And remember, this is Northeast Dairy Compact country and they won. We lost!” In his remarks, Wellstone laid accolade upon accolade on Vermont’s senior senator, Patrick J. Leahy. Not that St. Patrick isn’t wor thy, but folks, the truth is that Wellstone had coaching. There was one section labeled, “WHAT LEAHY’S OFFICE WANTS YOU TO EMPHASIZE IN YOUR REMARKS ABOUT HIM: “Leahy’s in cycle. No one on the horizon within the party to challenge him. They don’t have a clue as to which Republican will emerge § to run against him. This gathering is the activist | wing o f the party. Leahy’s office wants you to g fire them up.” And he did. □

A growing profile o f the gun-toting, pipe-smoking professor emeri tus in the last issue o f the alumni magazine generated several stinging letters to the editor in the current one. “I want to regis ter my dismay that the College would actually want to honor a man whom I remember as particularly anti-Semitic, anti-Italian, and even anti-social,” wrote Paul Mariani, now a professor at the University o f Massachusetts.

A Quebec police officer contradicts star informant Michael Johnson Bv P e t e r

Frevne

n a surprise development in the state’s largest drug trial, the government called its star informant, Michael Johnson, back to the witness stand in Burlington’s federal court this week. The surprise move came in the wake o f controversial tes timony by a Quebec police offi cer. On trial in federal court are five Vermonters: William Greer and Stephen Hutchins, the alleged “masterminds” o f an international drug-smuggling enterprise, as well as Greg Stevens, Glenn Koski and Thomas Cook, who allegedly worked for them at various times. Greer and Hutchins are facing life in a federal prison if convicted. Quebec Detective Denis Lauz£ testified last week that on August 6, 1992, Johnson told him he had lied about being beaten by Quebec police while under interrogation following his arrest in 1991. According to Lauze, Johnson told him he needed cover for his coopera tio n with authorities. That •Information was news to the -defense, whose lawyers quickly oved jfyr a mistrial. The lead government prose cutor, Acting U.S. Attorney ^Pavid Kirby, said he’d never weard of Johnson’s recantation .before, either. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Shattuck told the judge he’d been informed o f it by Lauze in February while preparing for trial. Defense attorneys argued ..such information should have been shared with the defense. Judge William Sessions denied the motion for a mistri al. Johnson lives in an unknown location and is in the federal witness protection pro gram. His credibility was severely tarnished under crossexamination four weeks ago. Several jurors reacted with expressions o f surprise Tuesday morning as they entered the courtroom and saw Michael Johnson back on the witness stand. Under questioning by the government, he refuted Lauze’s testimony. Johnson tes tified he never told Detective Lauze or anyone that he fabri cated the story about having his confession beaten out o f him. “It’s the truth,” insisted Johnson. Johnson also testified under cross examination that in addi tion to telling DEA Agent Rick Carter and Agent John Donnelly o f U.S. Customs about the beating, he also told former Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Anderson. Anderson was the lead prosecutor on the case until he resigned and went into private practice in January. Anderson could not be

reached for comment. No refer ence to Johnson’s claim o f being beaten by Quebec police ever made it into the reports filed by Carter and Donnelly. How the jury weighs Johnson’s credibility, say observers, will be crucial to their verdict. The trial, which enters its eighth week Thursday, has moved at a much slower pace than expected. Under pressure from Sessions to move things along, Kirby and Shattuck have told the court they expect to wrap up their case by the end o f this week. Defense counsel has told Seven Days they expect to complete their defense with in two weeks. The case should go to the jury by the end of May.

Today, Wednesday, proceed ings are being moved to Superior Court in Newport, Vermont, to accommodate an elderly Canadian witness who is in poor health. Douglas Mayhew, who lives just north o f the Vermont border, testified earlier in the trial about meet ing an American by the name o f “Mr. Thompson” on an allterrain vehicle in 1990. The government says “Mr. Thompson” was Billy Greer, but Mayhew was unable to identify, him in the courtroom seven weeks ago. In Newport, he’ll be asked to testify about how he identified “Mr. Thompson” in a police photo line-up back in 1990. In recent weeks most o f the government’s case has focused

on acts committed outside the United States — in Holland, Canada and beyond. Last Thursday Clifford H. Parfett, a marine consultant from St. Lambert, Quebec, tracked in great detail the 1991 voyage o f the ocean-going tug, The Pacific Tide, from Singapore to the Gulf o f St. Lawrence, where its cargo o f 60 tons o f hashish broke up as it was off-loaded. The only question defense asked Parfett in cross-examina tion was posed by Greer’s lawyer, Bob Kalina. Pointing to the map o f the Canadian coast, Kalina asked what country one would be in if one were in the waters o f the Gulf o f St. Lawrence. “Canada,” replied Parfett. “No further questions,” said

Kalina. Defense attorneys main tained in opening statements that the defendants had com mitted a crime, but that the crime had not taken place in the United States and the defendants, therefore, cannot be punished a second time. □

A dozen of them are Vermont groups, some o f which have tai lored their programs to attract Freeman interest. The foundation last year gave a $100,000 installment o f a $300,000 grant for an Asian language program in the Burlington school system. The Montpelier-based Institute for Sustainable Communities received $11,000 to examine the potential for a communitybased environmental edu cation project in Japan.

And it is doing so by putting trust in orga nizations working to pre serve farm and forest land, wildlife habitats and his toric buildings and settle ment patterns. The single biggest recipient o f Freeman Foundation fund ing anywhere in 1995 and 1996 was the Vermont Land Trust, which received a total o f $8 million in the two years. The Land Trust uses the money to buy development rights to working farms and forest land. In a sense, the land trust buys rights it will never use — the right to develop the property, which lowers the costs o f keeping farms and forest land in their traditional uses. With a full-time staff o f one, the foundation can’t review each farm or forest protection project, so it allows the Vermont Land Trust to do much o f the work. Similarly, the foun dation gives large grants to the Vermont chapter o f The Nature Conservancy ($878,000 in the last two years), which buys lands with rare or endangered plant and animal species, and the Preservation Trust o f Vermont ($1.07 million in the last two years),

With all that private foundation money going to land and historic building conservation, one might wonder why the state o f Vermont, through its own Housing aod Conservation Thist Fiind, allocates mil lions o f tax dollars each year for the same purposes. It turns out that the Freeman money is part o f a web o f interdependent pri vate, state, federal and local funding that often comes together to finance such projects. And Freeman himself suggests that the family would not fund such work alone if the other money, particularly the state money, were to dry up. “We don’t think it should be a handout,” he says. “This is a program that the state o f Vermont initiated. It’s something they feel is important. And if they feel it’s important, then they should be willing to pay some o f it. We feel quite strongly about that.” Bradley and the Preservation Trust’s execu tive director, Paul Bruhn, say their organizations and others act as conduits that join Freeman money with local organizations and local funds for smaller community projects.

In northern New England, indus trial detritus like rusted cars and snowmobiles litter the yards o f some working people; in Quebec, where the people and their lives are otherwise the same, painted fences and order ly flower gardens are the rule.

He is openly looking for signs o f affirmation. North Country concerns itself with where people live and how

It's spring m ring on the “birds and bees. By David Heal v

he phones at the Green

Mountain Audubon Society have been ringing off the hook. People by the dozen want to know why the birds can’t hold down the racket and why the heck that woodpecker is rapping on their aluminum sid ing. Even an official at St. Michael’s College called to find out why their cardinals keep throwing themselves into the reflective windows on campus. At some point in one o f these phone conversations, Audubon naturalist Mark LaBarr is bound to offer the brief explanation, “Its breeding season and they’ll do their thing.”

But as LaBarr heads out over the organization’s 255-acre pre serve in Huntington, he launch es into a more in-depth explana tion o f the “bird” part o f “the birds and the bees.” It all begins when thousands o f birds, from waterfowl to warblers, make the trip to their summer habitat in Vermont and points north, he says. Traveling in waves large enough to be picked up by radar, migrating birds use spring’s prevailing southerly winds to help sweep them north. Waterfowl generally lead the parade as soon as the ice leaves the waterways, with most songbirds coming along later. “The bulk o f migration is mid-

moose standing by the side o f the road chewing grass is what passes for entertainment in some areas o f Vermont. And as the moose population in the state continues to grow, the shows are becom ing more frequent. With spring approaching, normally reclusive moose are found feeding from roadside patches on fresh green shoots or shambling out into open fields, away from biting bugs and the deep woods hide aways they prefer in winter months. According to Bob Rooks, District Warden Supervisor o f Northern Vermont, moose always make more public appearances in the spring — the birthing, not mating, season for these massive beasts. But this year sightings are even more frequent, and the territory the moose inhabit has grown even larger. “It’s an expected increase,” reports Rooks. “In fact, moose sightings are so common now, people don’t even report them anymore. When we get calls now they’re for highway fatalities or ‘problem’ moose.” So far this year, 22 moose and one related human fatality have been reported on Vermont roadways. Calls come in almost daily — sugarmakers with torn sap lines, golf-course owners complaining o f holes stomped in the green, or towns with moose tying up

April through May,” confirms LaBarr as he approaches Peeper Pond, “with the peak period the second and third weeks in May.” At the pond, the trill of two red-winged black birds punctuate a chorus o f peeper frogs calling their amphibious mates. “Red-wing blackbirds are kind o f cool Continued on page 24

traffic* I “It’s safe to say that moose aren’t the sharpest animals in the world,” says Rooks. “But, more than any thing, it’s just that they’re so big that they don’t have any fear o f humans.” Occasionally one o f the lumbering beasts decides to set up camp in a particular spot and thus become a minor tourist attraction. They’ll stop over for a good feeding ground in a comfortable situation, a nice black mud wallow, or some salt to eat off the road. Confused yearlings — forcibly abandoned by their mothers in the spring to make way for this year’s model — might also end up a dazed roadside attrac tion. Sometimes a bull moose becomes attracted to livestock in estrus — as in the famous case o f Jessica the Cow some years back. Most cases o f immobile moose, however, are far less romantic; they are the direct result o f illness. Circling disease, or “brain worm,” is a parasite attacking the brain that can rob a moose o f its fear o f humans. When the animal eventually stops in one spot, it’s because o f increasing paralysis in its hind quarters. According to Cedric Alexander, a moose specialist for the Vermont Department o f Fish and Wildlfe, the

Published by the G R EEN M O U N T A IN A U D U BO N SOCIETY

disease can take months to kill an animal. “The parasite lives in the fluid o f the mooses brain cavity, where it slowly causes inflammation to the brain,” says Alexander. “They become emaciated and listless.” Bob Rooks notes that, while the results o f the dis ease are sad, so is human behavior around the sick animals. “People are stopping and taking pictures o f these sick moose. We’ve had cases o f people putting their kids up on their backs,” says Rooks. “If you tried to get that close to a healthy moose, he’d pull up his front feet and bring them down on your head.” To the untrained eye, it’s difficult to tell a sick moose from a healthy one, especially since contact with moose is relatively rare. Human curiosity, piqued by more frequent moose sightings, is not always cou pled with good judgment. As moose continue to make their impressive appearances, carloads o f rubber-necking “Sunday dri vers” will continue to drive far and wide to find them.

C ontinued from page 2 4 because the females do a lot o f the selection,” LaBarr says. “They choose a male on his lit tle epaulets, his little red patch es, but also — since the males may have more than one female — they make a decision: ‘Does this guy have a nice territory and I’ll share it with somebody, or do I want to stick with one guy whose territory isn’t so good, but I have the territory all to myself?’ That’s a humanistic look at it, but that’s what some biologists speculate.” While it’s tempting to anthropomorphize our animal friends, it might be too egocen tric to assume our favorite birds are die-hard Red Sox fans that head south during the off-sea son. “We kind o f think o f these neo-tropical migrant birds as ‘our birds,’ but they spend as much or more time down there,” says LaBarr, referring to winter habitats as far away as South America. In fact, many scientists believe that birds are oppor tunistic creatures which venture north solely to take advantage o f temporary conditions, such as insect hatches and nesting sites, which are favorable for feeding and raising the young.

Here-in Vermont, bird lovers ' and experts are beginning to worry that forest fragmentation and other factors might disturb the delicate balance that allows a vast array o f migratory species to thrive. “The data that’s coming in is starting to support these thoughts,” LaBarr says, caution ing that most scientific studies are in the preliminary stages. Pausing a moment to point out the bouncing tail-feathers o f a perched phoebe, a flycatcher, he continues down the trail noting the important role birds play in eating insects and in the balance o f nature. “It’s the old domino effect,” he concludes. “Once you start taking key components out o f the whole ecosystem, even though people might say... ‘Okay, so we don’t hear bird songs in the spring...’” In fact, it could really affect the health o f our forest, which is really the health o f the planet.” Suddenly, LaBarr is stopped by a rapid succession o f mixedup notes and trills. “That’s the winter wren,” LaBarr laughs. “That sucker is about this big,” he says, holding his forefinger and thumb in a circle about the size o f a half-dollar. “Its bones are hollow and so, when it takes

She knew life was short and she took it seriously.” W iegner was also an incredible role model, despite the lack o f widespread fame and fortune. But “[that] wasn’t im portant to her,” says Von Weise. “Painting was im por tant.” W iegner never made the cover o f Artnews, but her painting, “Warren’s Farm,” did grace the cover o f a Sierra Club book last year, and she did exhibit in the U.S. and Canada. You get the idea that, after a half-century o f life, her pic tures were worth the wait. All those years o f pent-up passion were released on canvas. W iegner painted her subjects the way she saw them; she was not afraid to use broad brush strokes and bold colors to cre ate a real space in the imagina tion. Her work has a sense o f deja vu. “Big Apple Tree” is a twodimensional confection — it wants to be tasted, like the first

nals will charge other birds — and their mirror images — to protect their turf. And for the migratory perching birds, song is very important, LaBarr says. Like the singer in a mod ern-day band, birds with the best song tend to have the best luck in attracting females. “It’s the way a male demonstrates to a female, Tm a great guy,’ and says to other males, ‘This is my spot,”’ LaBarr says. Song quali ty has been correlated with the fitness and the physical maturi ty o f the birds, he adds, noting that a full repertoire represents a bird’s breeding status. As LaBarr heads back up the last rise to the Audubon offices and more ringing tele phones, he makes a case for enjoying the flowering plants and wild flowers in bloom on the forest floor. “Wild flowers are ‘doing it,’ too,” he says. “They’re just a whole lot qui eter about it.” □ The Green Mountain Audubon Society’s annual Bird-athon is May 17-25.

The lines o f shifting horizons, ridges and hills intersect with the verticality o f the trees, cre ating a curvy grid. In the dis tance, purple mountains loom like shadows, and sunlight gilds the trough between the peaks. It isn’t surprising that a show of Wiegner’s indoor paintings — like “Orange Interior,” depicting a dream work space — often sold out. Most painters would be ecstat ic with this; Wiegner was dis mayed. According to Von Weise, she only sold a painting if she liked the buyer, and then only if she thought they knew what the painting was about. Von Weise has hung Wiegner’s self-portrait under the school’s cafeteria clock. From there she watches, immortalized in pastels, with a glint in her blue eyes. Wiegner staved off cancer for a decade before she gave out. There must have been a knock-down-drag-out between her body and her soul — the soul demanding more paint ings and the body demanding a rest. She won for awhile. □

By P. Fi nn McManamv f it’s a choice between your play working on 1 paper or working here, " says playwright Dana Yeaton, “let it work here.” He and a houseful o f other writers are discussing the leap o f words from page to stage, and for emphasis Yeaton gestures to the line-up o f actors sitting on fold ing chairs under stage lights. They’ve just finished a cold reading — a jump into the script with no preliminaries. Yeaton’s fellow playwrights, sprawled out amongst the plush red seats, are between 12 and 18 years old. The Young Playwrights Festival, held last weekend at the Royall Tyler Theater in Burlington, is a collaborative enterprise between Vermont playwrights, schools, teachers and the Vermont Stage Company, in residence at the University o f Vermont. Just three years old, the collabora tion has racked up some impressive stats: Five profes sional playwrights traveled to 18 schools and one youth pro gram to work with more than 250 students on the elements o f their craft. The visiting playwrights — Jay Craven, Amy Rubin, David Budbill, Deborah Lubar and Yeaton, who also serves as the company’s Education Director — worked with students in English classes, electives and after-school gigs. They commu nicated with their playwrights by e-mail and letters, and returned for revisions. Meanwhile, schools held staged readings and discussions o f their own; each selected a play to be shown in performance with professional actors and directors. Blake Robison, VSC Artistic Director, says the festival has been so encouraging that this year it ran for two days. This called for a Chinese-menu rota tion o f rehearsals, readings, dis cussions, workshops and perfor mances o f student and profes sional work. Surely there is hope for the future o f the theater when such great stuff is happening right here in Vermont. What are young people thinking and writing about? For starters, there are few parents and no teachers in these plays;

lets. These playwr>ghts are more likely to focus on characters at the crossroads o f a significant decision, and in language that shows originality and feeling. Reality, by Erica Blomquist, is a one-person play in which a woman alone at her kitchen table considers leaving an abu sive spouse. In Adam Schnell’s tightly structured All or Nothing, a young man whose life has fallen to ruin makes a sudden decision to rob a bank, but corners a hostage who does n’t mind being taken. A kind o f moral slapstick is evidenced in many o f the plays: Another sad sack, in Divine Intervention, by Sarah Waring, is visited by a guardian angel who saves his life — but the angel is indifferent to the disas ter his act brings to anyone else. In Theological Zenith, MacArthur Stine has written a fran tically funny piece where God

Something hap pens when you're in a bare room watching actors work; it's the sense something's gonna happen here. . . emerges from the TV set, and She’s not very happy with the channel-flicker on the couch. Things are grimmer in Marc and Marie, in which a woman welcomes her lover home after he has committed a dreadful act. Alison Goyette’s taut crime drama is a tour de force o f more frightful human emotions. Confusion and relationship anguish have their place in this festival. Like that phone call between people who are “just friends” when one o f them wants something more, as in Paul Perrault’s idealistic A Hypothetical Destination. Like the hostility only partly cloaked by humor in Damned for Life, by Karl Polifka. And there are domestic dramas: Offstage or imagined dogs appear in Alessandra Capossela’s Gettin Me a Dog, about a lonely kid, and in The Snot Incident, RJ Donovan’s farce o f tormented family relationships. Then there’s a spoof o f a pouty princess, and the frog who is

never going to turn into a prince: The Frog in All o f Us, by Tessa Adamson-Klein. While some scripts are suit ed to naturalistic style or farce, the heartfelt Anti-Drug Trilogy becomes even more hard-hit ting in its Brechtian staging. The play, by Steven Peters and David Oleson, moves quickly in three swift scenes. A good many o f the plays detail shifts o f power. The Patient by Fynn M ’lyr puts a surprising spin on the “lunatics are running the asylum” theme. The hero of Matt Henkel’s Corporate Handbook Line 11 is a low-ranking maintenance man who happened to read secret plans destined for the shredder, and now holds an uneasy power over the corpo rate exec. And what to make of Hershey: A Space Odyssey, an argument on the surface o f the moon over which astronaut gets to eat the chocolate bar saved for the celebration? This play, by Joanne Baron, is conducted in tight, frantic tones by the desperate space men, in counterpoint to the rolling slow-motion physical comedy dictated by no gravity, big suits and depleted oxygen. In The Doctor's First Session, Megan Campbell’s sophisticated play centers on a woman who has summoned a psychoanalyst for an early morning appoint ment so she can tell him about the dream in which she killed her annoying husband. The shrink wants his breakfast, and is rather annoying himself. It’s only when he asks for his usual egg and toast that we find out he is the husband. These are writers’ plays, but it should be noted that the 20 or so adult actors were amazing, vigorously throwing themselves into scripts, and willing to play around with ideas while respecting the playwrights words. They helped the young authors see what happens when polemic is put into the voices o f real people. The Young Playwrights Festival is not about competi tion, but celebration — the atmosphere is one o f serious fun. One young playwright put it this way. “Something hap pens when you’re in a bare room watching actors work; it’s the sense something's gonna hap pen here... You know it’s just a reading o f a 10-page play, and on the other side o f the wall there’s a rehearsal for something else, and in a few minutes we’ll break for lunch — but there’s a point when it stops being ‘my little play’ and turns into some thing bigger. It gets a life o f its own.” □

WHO YA GONNA E-MAIL? Bv Margaret L e v i n e Young and J ordan Young

ast month we asked the question, “Why use the Internet, anyway?” Our favorite thing to do on the Internet is to read our e-mail, those little electronic notes that zing silently through cyber space. Why? Well, e-mail has a couple o f advantages over regu lar paper mail. First, it gets where it is going really fast (sometimes in less than a minute). Second, it’s free! Once you’ve got an Internet connec tion, your computer can send your mail to other computers for no additional cost. Third, you know how phone calls always interrupt you just as you are sitting down to lunch, or putting the baby down, or hav ing a delicate discussion with a co-worker? E-mail doesn’t do that; you get it when you want it, not when the sender sends it. Another nice thing about email is that it’s written. You write down what you want to say and you can re-read it before you send it, rewording the parts that sound obnoxious or dopey. Tell us you’ve never regretted what you just said on somebody’s phone answering machine; once you said it, you’re stuck with it. You can write or respond to e-mail mes sages when it’s convenient for you. Definitely worth trying. And it’s reviving — and chang ing — the art o f letter writing. Convinced yet? Well, then, you’ll want to know what you need to do this e-mail thing. First, about those e-mail addresses. What is all that gobbledygook, anyway? All e-mail addresses have two parts, the one before the and the one after the @. The part before the @ is the user name o f the per son you’re mailing to, and it’s frequently some version o f the person’s name. The part after the @ is the host name, the name o f the computer where that person has their e-mail post office. The computer name usually has a dot in it, and ends with a three-letter abbreviation saying what kind o f computer it is, usually com for commer cial, net for network provider, or edu for educational. Spaces aren’t allowed in the names, so people sometimes use under lines instead (John_Smith@

As best I could follow, she’s been sent to Earth to await an attack by a fiery moon-size ball of pure evil that’s streaking toward the planet. It seems aliens stopped by the Earth centuries earlier and left behind four little blocks to be used as weapons in the conflict. The pictures plot, by and large, con sists of an interstellar shell game in which various parties attempt to locate the missing thingamajigs in various corners of the universe. Which, believe me, sounds like more fun than it is.

With its comic-book storyline, ho-hum dialogue and stick-figure characters, the movie is heavy on art direction and light on art. Bresson throws everything but the kitchen sink at his audience, filling the frame with kooky space creatures, psychedelic colors, wacky Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes and swooping, incendiary action sequences to the point where the screen seems about to burst. He evidendy believes, along with a growing majority in his profession, that movies are meant for the eyes alone. The Fifth Element is indeed a visual bacchanal, but the mind and the heart go hungry.

May 15-21

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Here are my thumbnail descriptions o f the roles you’ll be best-suited for this week: a skeptical optimist whose revolutionary schemes prosper because you can pass i for normal; an innocent truth-teller capable o f gravity-defying leaps o f logic; | a cuddly extremist who is intensely dedicated to solving problems a few hours a day and playfully carefree the rest o f the time; and a kibbutzer who | shoves your nose in where it supposedly don’t belong — but oh so charmingly.

ITAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Why not ride a bicycle up a stairway to win a bet this week, Taurus, or ask an intriguing stranger for an audience? Why not sing bawdy hymns after | midnight in a magic garden, and why j not dream o f getting a job in which you make money by being your most genuine self? O f all the weeks o f the year, this is the one in which you’ll receive most cosmic Brownie points for entertaining cheeky dares and rambunctious adventures. Why not try j what everyone’s always told you that you’ll never be able to do?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Brian Raba, a Gemini reader from Reno, sent i me the pithy sayings he’s been trying in | vain to get published. “Sometimes I % | want to abandon my efforts because nobody seems to be listening,” he wrote. I’m sure many o f you Geminis are feeling an impatience and frustration similar to Brian’s. As «u Ki Sgfcjj symbolic gesture o f support for your tribe — and as a spit in the eye o f '"knever god finds it so arousing to;

m little?” 4) “A broken heart is the only seed from which the human soul can be born.”

VIRGO

CANCER

Oune 21-July 22): I dropped by the post office at 5 p.m. on April 15. Seven people were gathered at a table where income tax forms were stacked. They were examining the materials quizzically, as if they’d just remembered they had a big deadline to meet. I couldn’t resist taking an astrological survey o f these flagrant procrastinators. There were a Taurus, a Pisces and five Cancerians. Later that night I summoned my Prayer Warriors and implored them ro launch an intense round o f daily incantations in your tribe’s behalf. I knew there’d soon come a time when you simply could not afford to indulge your tardy tendencies. I hope their efforts worked. The day I foresaw has come. It’s now or never. Make a bold new commitment to your dreams — or else prepare to meet a nightmare.

LEO

(July23-Aug. 22): Its the Third Annual Brag Therapy Week — for Leos only. During this grace period you’re not just permitted, you’re encouraged to boast. Have you ever tried to explain in

more Ii

braggadocio as the best, I’ll mention your glorious name in a future column.

it act

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As I’ve observed you over the years, I’ve noticed you tend ro keep your emotional ledger running in the red. You seem to feel most comfortable when you’re at a ratio o f about 70 percent cynicism to 20 percent hope to 10 percent undecided. So 1 hope you won’t freak out this week when waves o f quietly joyful events wash over you, threatening to give you a reading more like 40 percent cynicism to 55 percent hope and 5 undecided.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When 1 was on Geraldo’s TV show a few years back, he asked me how I kept love spicy during those times when I was in a committed monogamous relationship. “Well, my man,” I philosophized, “fantasy is the key. Like sometimes I pretend I’m the Pillsbury Dough Boy and my partner play-acts Betty Crocker. Or maybe I’ll make believe I’m Geraldo and she’ll impersonate Barbara Walters.” Though Geraldo went ballistic at this and ignored roe for the rest o f die show, I still think what I said that day is good — even ror couples that are just ig. What do you say, Libra? Are for some full frontal comedy?

SCORPIO

leaving you precariously balanced on the icy hot tip of a high-pressure front.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Astrologers regard your ruling planet Jupiter as having a benevolent, expansive influence. They say that it inspires visionary ideas and quests for truth and justice; that it breeds an eagerness to laugh and explore and gamble. I’ve found all these qualities in abundance among the Sagittarian tribe. Lately, though, I’m more inclined to compare you to a side o f Jupiter I learned about not from astrologers, but astronomers. They say that Jupiter is the solar system’s janitor. Its massive gravitation sweeps up cosmic debris, thereby saving smaller planets like Earth from the constant, punishing assaults of meteors. Doesn’t that remind you o f the role you’ve been playing lately?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Everyone needs a fresh nickname from time to time. This week, due to the fact that you’re rife with budding new identities, it’s you. You might even want to select three or four aliases, borrowing from rhe Native American tradition (like, say, “Fist in the Air”) or wrestling culture (“Kid Diamond”). A sexy poetic tide would be apt, like “Slow Wild Heat.” Or how about a New Age moniker like “Blue Thunder?” I guess my personal favorite for you would be “Flower Power.” You are, after all, ki.t strong right tia w f& w clout

weren’t available. The next hour didn’t bring any revelations worth saving either. In frustration, I went outside and sauntered down to the curb in front o f my house to retrieve the empty trash cans the garbagemen had left earlier. A big old dark blue station wagon happened to be driving by. Suddenly it slowed to a stop. I thought the man leaning his head out the window was about to ask me directions. Instead he spoke like an oracle: “What do you do about getting your dream built when no one else even knows what it is?” Then he sped away. Even if his license plate hadn’t spelled “Quarius,” I would have taken his words to be a portentous omen for you.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): As I peer into my crystal ball, I see you dozing in bed. You’re dreaming you’re being chased by a swarm o f New Age gurus down a blind alley towards your third-grade teacher, who’s holding a copy o f The Celestine Prophecy and demanding that you improve yourself: “Facilitate! Empower! Prioritize! Personal growth! Connectedness!” Now here’s my dream interpretation: The j best way to nurture your personal growth, at least right now, is to relax 4*4 and forget all abour trying ro nurture your personal growth. Stop prt yourself. Banish the tyrannical
