Francisco Sicre, 37, told a U.S. i/When authorities in Stafford

magistrate in West Palm Beach, Florida, that it couldn't have been him because his car had been stolen four days earlier. The magistrate believed him, but prosecutors later learned that Sicre did not report his car stolen until nearly a month after he got the illegal-fishing ticket. Sicre was cited for perjury, which is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and up to 18 months in federal prison. • As a result of pleading guilty to stabbing a woman while stealing her car in Arlington, Virginia, Christopher Sharikas, 18, faced seven to 11 years in prison. At his sentencing, however, he not only denied stabbing his victim, but also blamed her for the attack because she refused to hand over her car keys. Sharikas' change of attitude angered Judge Paul F. Sheridan, who announced the sentence "just went from 60 years to life!" Sharikas wound up getting two life terms for the carjacking, five years for the stabbing, 20 years for wounding the victim and five years for being a convicted felon with a weapon. (7)

ell, its back. Or should I say, "Its ba-a-a-a-a-ck'f Last year in these pages, I confessed one of my darkest and most shameful secrets, which is that I don't like summer. I don't like the heat, I don't like the flies, I done like seeing (most) other people sweating on the streets in tank-tops and less. My column raised such an alarm in the community — and, I think, particularly at the Chamber of Commerce — that I agreed to see a psychiatrist to sort it all out. The shrink took a "tough love" approach with me, as is currently the vogue. It helped that I saw him during the ice storm, when the electricity was out and frozen tree limbs were cracking, groaning and crashing on the roof. I was literally scared straight, snapped out of my preference for the sweetness of spring, the brilliance of sunshine on winter snow, the cool gold of autumn when the forests explode in an orgy of color and the mountains look as if — what? Oh, right. Excuse me. Okay, it's like this. Spring is wet and damp and muddy. Winter is cold and dark and harsh. Autumn does nothing but reduce the vegetation to decaying pulp and ugly stubble. But summer is good. Summer is warm. Summer is bright and has Festivals. Jazz Festivals and Chew-Chew Festivals. Children's Festivals and Elder Festivals. Brewers' Festivals, Reggae Festivals, Ethnic Festivals and Dairy Festivals. There are Wine Festivals, Balloon Festivals and Festivals On The Green. There are Folk Festivals, Homestead Festivals, Flower Festivals and Solar Festivals. There are festivals for dowsers, for fiddlers, for witches, for Greeks and for Scots. Antique cars, antique boats, "One World, One Heart," Bread, Puppets and Lippizaner stallions. In short, the whole of Vermont, between May and September, becomes a giant state fair, unequalled for sheer display and for ingenuity in advertising. How could anyone not like it?

There were no Lost Nations then, no Candles, no rastas or flautists or Tibetan Bowl Ringers. We were backward, God bless us, unaware of how far we could go on tourist dollars and Boomer prosperity.

Mind you, it wasn't always this way. When I was growing up in Burlington, it was easy to keep a grip on culture. You had the Lane Series and a band that played Sunday nights in Battery Park — that was for music.

LINKS Putting with Progs is not exactly par far the course

Bv P a u l a Routly ports are supposed to be the great equalizer. But the playing field has never been exactly level in golf. Exclusive is a nice word for the way the sport seems to select middle-aged men with bad shoes and lots of money. Athletic apartheid comes closer to describing the systematic discrimination of blacks, Jews and women prevalent at so many members-only clubs. BUNKERING DOWN: Doug Hoffer plays in the No other sport — except maybe snowan exacting policy research analyst, Hoffer gives a thumbnail boarding — is so clearly linked history of the sport that to a specific lifestyle.

tee time. Still known for his aggressive style, which helped Burlington win the Waterfront, the former assistant city attorney is also the guy who bursts into self-deprecating song every time he lives up to his nickname: J. Bogue — short for Johnny Bogey. To the tune from "The MaryTyl er Moore Show," Franco is in the habit of crooning, "You're going to bogey after all." "Johnny keeps us laughing," Hoffer notes, clarifying the history thing. "Actually the game originated on the continent," he says, but it did serve a populist cause in Scotland. Maintaining his reputation as

erhaps "obsessed" is too strong a word for a man who played 123 rounds of golf last year — and still managed to collect and crunch the data that proved a significant percentage of Vermonters don't make enough money to live. "I prefer committed,'" Hoffer corrects, demonstrating the same careful articulation he applies to his golf game. Of all the leftleaning linksmen — and there are a couple of women, too — he is by far the best golfer in the group. He shot a 66 at Williston last month, and

sand maintains a handicap of five. A self-described "golf whore," Hoffer sets the pace, and the standards, for this particular gang of three. A former caddy who insists on carrying his own clubs, he is also the guy who rags on "goobers" playing too slow in front of us, keeps his golf stats on a computer program he designed himself, and maintains a regular Wednesday morning date with the speed-dial button to book weekend tee times for the team. "These guys do not play to my level, but it's so rare to play golf with people who share my politics," Hoffer says between putts — and butts. One indulgence he allows himself on the course is the occasional cigarette. "It's rare to find people who not only share your sense of humor, but won't offend you with anti-semitic and racist jokes all day." Unlike Green Mountain boys Franco and Fiermonte, Hoffer was raised in Fairfield County, Connecticut, surrounded by money and golf greens. His father took an interest in the game around the time Arnold Palmer came to the fore. The golf pro "didn't have the demeanor of a guy who grew up with privilege," Hoffer explains, and therefore attracted large numbers of "public" golfers to the sport. "As a result you had an infusion of people like me and my family." Hoffer liked the game well enough to start caddying — a profession, he laments on

behalf of future "golf whores," that is being replaced by the ubiquitous golf cart. Through the job, he got access to some of the best courses around — caddies and employees were permitted to play on Mondays, when the course was closed for maintenance. Here in Vermont, Hoffer has been urging greenskeepers to move from conventional to organic herbicides, and even secured a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to help Burlington Country Club make the switch. Over the years, Hoffer developed a guilt-free love of golf that transcended politics and peer pressure. As a maitre . . . |t

National Guard. d'hotel at Alice s Restaurant, Hoffer stunned his counterculture co-workers by mingling with symphony types at the Stockbridge Golf Course. At Williams College, where he was a "nontraditional" undergrad, he joined the golf team. As a law student in Buffalo, Hoffer opted to shlep golf bags again — just to get weekly access to the links. When a broken ankle screwed up his season, he turned temporarily to minigolf, and qualified for a professional tournament. "I never used the game as many people do, for business, connections, social climbing, or any of that stuff. I went to play golf," Hoffer says. Waxing poetic about a "fine golf course that uses the land intelligently," he remembers his chance to play Pine Valley in New Jersey— one of the most exclu-

sive, and discriminatory, private clubs in the country. "I was so excited to play a course of that caliber, I just had to swallow hard and say, 'Well, should I deny myself the opportunity? Will my not playing the golf course make a difference? No. Is it hypocritical? Sure. Can I live with myself? You bet.'"

On the 13th hole, which is a difficult dogleg right, it is Franco who drives the ball down the center of the fairway, where it lands in prime position. Hoffer hits a fine-looking shot, but it stops short of the crucial turn, behind a big tree. Meanwhile, Fiermonte, who has decided he's playing badly enough to take a chance, attempts to drive his ball over a forest directly onto the hidden green beyond, The first ball disappears into the woods, but the second Continued on page 48

on it except to say they share a sense of oddness. "Your Frown is a Grin" shifts gears dramatically; the mellow acoustic, sensitive-guy ballad is saved from schmaltz only by its intelligence. Though this collection was recorded in Iowa, local studio whizzes Joe Capps, Dan Archer and Chuck Eller have all had something to do with it — remarkably mobile for only five songs, but there's a pro continuity in sound quality that shows the songs and the playing (most of it by Brayton/Frank) to best advantage. Brayton put his pretty but saccharine "The Color of Love" last, leaving you with the idea that he's a Mr. Softy after all. Nonetheless, Frank leaves me wanting to know what else this guy has up his musical sleeves. One way to find out: He's playing at Sweetwaters in Burlington this Thursday. — P.P.

Ve long been a solitary flyfisherman myself, but the whale-sized appeal of the annual Lake Champlain Fishing Derby was enough of a lure for me to read all 79 pages of the Derby Gazette. By the end, I was hooked, and determined not to let this be the big summer fun that got away. The sole purpose of money raised by the Derby is "to improve and promote fishing on Lake Champlain." Sounds simple enough, but it has a trickle-down environmental effect for fishermen and landlubbers alike. The fishing fiesta contributes more than $3 million to the local economy. That's a lot of recycled beer cans. The Derby also encourages catch-and-release

fishing by rewarding "alive" fish with a 5-percent point bonus. By the way, if you can get through the rules and regulations, including the point system itself, you will never again refer to a fisherman as a dumb redneck. If nothing else, the Fishing Derby offers you an excuse to listen to country music for three days without a speck of embarrassment. I don't know ^Jbout you, but a little Garth or Shania would probably do this NPR head some good. The International Fishing Derby is June 20-22. For info, call 862-7777. — Karen Vincent

ou got dropped off at Lincoln Gap, your trusty backpack stocked with the essentials and the customary treats. Hiking up Mt. Abe, you reach the crest of the marvelous Monroe Skyline, which stays above 3500 feet until dropping down again at the Appalachian Gap. You hike on at a leisurely pace. The sun is still high in the western sky as you approach Mt. Ellen in Warren. You think you hear music, but dismiss it. Then, it cannot be denied — the music snakes up to meet you. Down below, on the slopes of Sugarbush, it seems there's a massive

You magically score the last remaining ticket, put down your pack and begin to boogie. Well, that was my fantasy the last time they had big-name acts at Sugarbush.

ou've got to be kidding me. How am I going to find the time to fit in umpteen music festivals, concert series, local bands at the park, fiddle contests and songs around the campfire, all in one summer? When's the hammock time, where all I can hear are the humming bees, the tweeting birds, the slosh of the lake — the sounds of silence? OK, I admit it; I prefer the music to the birdies, except first thing in the morning. That's why I plan to take in the Magic Hat Concert Series at the Old Lantern in Charlotte (I'm already swooning about The Brian Setzer Orchestra), the beauteous Mad Mountain Music Fest with Taj Mahal, the skankin' Vermont Reggae Fest in Hardwick, the diggety-dank Gathering of the Vibes in Plattsburgh, the Lemonwheeling Phish extravaganza, and the Battery Park Concert Series in Burlington. What do they all have in common? Fresh air and lots of it. Still, I'm pleased about a

special show coming up this August that's sure to be a blast of Louisiana heat even though it's indoors: The Legends of New Orleans, with Pete Fountain, The Preservation Hall Band and The Dukes of Dixieland. I'm cooking up chickory coffee and beignets for that one. Musical rule of thumb in summer? Get it — outdoors — while you can. Whew. The Magic Hat Concert Series begins May 31 and runs through early fall (tickets at the usual outlets); the Mad Mountain Music

fair game m t's natural to wonder why the tiny Tunbridge World's Fair deserves its grandiose name. Tucked as neatly as a bedsheet into the hills along the White River, the fairgrounds are far removed from the hurly-burly of the modern world. According to fair president Euclid Farnham, it was Lieutenant Governor Burnham Martin who dubbed the occasion, in 1870, "the little world's fair." Promoters dropped the "little" the following year, and the name remains unchanged 124 fairs later. Little else has changed over time, either, particularly in the fair's tribute to Vermont's agricultural heritage — evident in such attractions as antique farm-equipment displays, a critical mass of crafts, and a full program of ag-related events.

these offerings stirred latent yearnings for life on the farm suppressed by my South Burlington upbringing. I almost got choked up watching young 4-Hers proudly leading their immaculate livestock around the show ring. Tunbridge also features harness racing, a rarity on today's fair scene, and the standard carnival fare of gut-wrenching rides and concessions. While the girlie shows have disappeared, the beer tent remains a drawing card, albeit a shadow of its former, rowdier self. One guy I know was nearly ejected from it merely for joining a boisterous chorus of "Frere Jacques." Hey, it beats "It's a Small World." The Tunbridge World's Fair is Sept. 17-20.

winning at Saratoga hen it comes to picking horses, everybody has a system. You can study the past performances in the Daily Racing Form, watch the ponies warm up in the paddock, or bet on your favorite jockey. But no matter: There is no way to determine how fast a 1200-pound, four-legged animal is going to run on any given day. Until now, that is. The Parting Glass on Lake Street is one of Saratoga's warmest and liveliest watering holes, where the big annual benefit for the Disabled Jockeys Fund was held the final week of the season. Sitting at the bar, I struck up a conversation with a horse player from Brooklyn by the name of "Peter." We were having a lovely chat when another gentleman politely reached between us to collect his drinks. He was "Peter," too. From the Buffalo area.

"Three Petes!" he said, sipping his margarita. "What's your favorite number?" "Nine," said I. "Three," said Brooklyn. "Mine's five," said Buffalo. "Tomorrow in the ninth race, let's bet the triple 3-5-9." And with that we raised our glasses for a toast to seal the pledge. Next day, luck was a stranger for the first eight races on the card. Before the finale I tucked away six bucks for the ride home and, thinking "what the hell," strode confidently to the betting window. I put the rest on a 3-5-9 triple box, which covers every possible combination of those horses finishing in the top three. As the runners went by in the post parade, I realized my combination had left out the favorite — the #2 horse ridden by hot jockey Jerry Bailey.

For the rustic cousin to Shelburne Farms, visit the Vanderbilts Camp Sagamore to see how easy "roughing it" can be. Meanwhile, history buffs can get shellacked by the 'Dacks at the voluminous Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. Vermonters should complete the painting by checking out how Calvin Coolidge betrayed his Green Mountain roots by setting up the summer White House on Osgood Pond.

t's easy to be a Green Mountain snob: Vermonters have Mt. Mansfield, Ben & Jerry's and the picture-postcard image. But those willing to get off their not-so-high Morgan horses long enough to trot over to New York's Adirondack region will find a six-million-acre park that's more than a backdrop for sunset views from Vermont. It wasn't for nothing that the Vanderbilts and other industrialists built Adirondack "Great Camps" as refuges from their urban mansions. In fact, discriminating Vermonters will find there's not much to look down upon on the west coast of Lake Champlain. The Adirondacks boast 42 high peaks over 4000 feet, and Mount Marcy, New York's highest mountain, outpaces our beloved

am Adams never had it so good. When I first made it back to Mother England — you know, the original home of the insurrectionists — it was for graduate studies in World War II. I was a little hardpressed to find a new angle, having studied it to death in the rebel country. So I set out for the pubs of London to learn first-hand from those who had lived through the war. Some of the finest brews in the world become a staple of those chats, and I developed a taste for hops and barley that I thought could never be quenched back home. All that, of course, has changed. Micro-brews have exploded across the country — including in Vermont — and good beer is as near as the closest barstool. So when the sixth annual Vermont Brewers Fest kicks off this July on Burlington's waterfront, it will cele-

brate one of the tastier contributions to the '90s Stateside. About time the Yanks caught on. Fifteen bucks gets you a souvenir glass for sipping, an official program and 10 3-ounce samples if purchased before July 10, twenty bucks after that. And speaking of insurrection, one of the exhibits will reveal how colonialists brewed their own.

The Vermont Brewers Fest is July 17-18 on the Burlington Waterfront. For info, call 865-FEST. — David Lines

A real road-racing season would give runners all over New England a taste of what Vermont has to offer—and provide runners with a chance to shine over a competitive season lasting from June through Novembeh

1. Call m e Ishmael. 2. It was five o'clock on a winter's morning in Syria. Alongside the platform at Aleppo stood the train grandly designated in the railway guides as the Tauras Express. 3. When he was nearly thirteen, m y brother Jem got his a r m badly broken at the elbow. 4. When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. 5. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness... 6. When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

Polished mahogany, gleaming brass, shiny engine room and plush carpets. This 220-foot, 892-ton sidewheel steamboat was the last to sail on Lake Champlain, and if it hadn't been adopted by the Shelburne Museum, it would have become rubbish long ago. After an a-steamed history on the lake, she was moved ashore in the '50s, restored in the 70s and '80s, and spruced up again in the '90s. See what five years of beautification Has done for this grand dame, and join in the fun while John Hartford — a licensed riverboat captain himself— Sterling Weed's Imperial Orchestra, The Vermont Jazz Ensemble and Rick & the Ramblers serenade her. A "Cavalcade of Steam Parade" and fireworks will make the Lady Ti think she's all afloat

f you get tired of all the stomping, chewing, brewing, blading and jazzing around Vermont this summer, rest assured: Classical music is alive and Well, and ready to give you a break from all the noise. For its Silver Anniversary season, the Vermont Mozart Festival returns with a vintage assortment of concerts and programs around the state, including a collaborative staging of Peter Schaffer's Amadeus July 10-11 at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington. Produced by the Vermont Stage Company under the direction of Blake Robison, Schaffer's rollicking and powerful

dramatization of the life of Mozart features music by the VMF Winds and promises to be the highlight of a summer rich in the greatest of great music. The Vermont Symphony Orchestra also returns with its regular season of eight concerts statewide, featuring David Bilger, principal trumpeter with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and a special salute to the Gershwin centennial.

he Vermont Expos are synonymous with good, clean family fun. If you're a parent, chances are your kids are right now counting the days to the June 18 opening home game. If so, skip down to the last paragraph. All you left-over single people, lissen up. The ballpark presents the latest, greatest opportunity of the so-called dating scene in Chittenden County. I know what you're thinking: Local baseball on a Friday night...you'd be better off taking your date to the laundromat, right? But take it from me. Here are the top three reasons — aside from a genuine love for our own boys of summer at Centennial Field — to

Go Expos. 1. It's cheap. Cheaper, in fact, to see the Expos than to wash and dry two loads of laundry. If you're a big spender, splurge for the $5 reserved section. 2. If you and your date hit it off, you can talk non-stop for nine innings, know what the score is, and leave early to make out on the shuttle bus. 3. If you and your date don't hit it off, you have approximately 3559 other people to watch, not including the players. More importantly, the ball game is a good testing ground for potential relationship candidates. Does your date seem comfortable making a fool of himself doing the Macarena? Is your date one of those four-

letter-word booers, or does he shout encouragement? How" » many Buds/hotdogs/ice cream bars does your date down per inning? If you're looking to improve your knowledge of the game itself (for dating or other purposes), I highly recommend the group of gents who sit in the non-reserved section about 10 rows up on the left. They never miss a home game and are among the few using score sheets. If only they were 20 years younger... The Vermont Expos' first home game, against Pittsfield, is June 18. Tickets go on sale June 6. For info, call 655-4200. — Karen Vincent

o, I don't mean souped-up cars in comic-book colors. I'm talkin' the American Society of Dowsers annual convention in Lyndonville, where the Y-rod is far mightier than the sword. L-rod, too. Even if you know where your water is, dowsing skills come in handy for finding all sorts of things, from lost keys to underground radon leaks to missing persons. With a theme like "Dowsing: A Universal Language for All Creation," you better believe this convention is about more than H2O. The 38th annual dowsers convention is August 6-9 (school is August 4-5) at Lyndon State College. Info and registration, call 684-3417. -Pamela Polston

ike everyone else, I was scarred by my childhood. In a clear case of child abuse, my parents deprived me of every suburban kid's birthright: overnight camp. Sure, I got family vacations and other summertime diversions, but it just wasn't the same as going to camp. After all, each fall my childhood friends came back to school detailing the joys of days spent hiking and horseback riding and evenings exploring the subtleties of French-kissing. Summer camp, it seems, is an educational experience not to be missed. But as adults, we can decide our own summer fate. And while there's no turning back the clocks to those first childhood kisses, all you have to do to get yourself to camp this summer is break out the checkbook and start sewing nametags in your underwear. It only remains to choose from the assortment of the best camps for grown-ups the Green Mountain State has to offer. Sculling Camp at Craftsbury Located in the heart of camp heaven, Craftsbury is the quintessential adult camp offering sculling and running instruction in a picturesque Northeast Kingdom s e t t i n g s While running eaolp laggeSts shades of a "Far Side" comic, Craftsbury's sculling camp is a golden opportunity to learn a new lifelong sport. Under the watchful eye of Director Steve Wagner, rowers — beginners or experienced — master the intricacies of skimming over water in a 26foot boat just 11 inches wide. Actor Christopher Reeves 60something mother learned the sport at a Craftsbury camp and went on to win her class at the Head of the Charles. For $685 per week, you can, too. Craftsbury offers rustic dorms and an informal atmosphere topped with heaping portions of home-cooked food. In addition to Wagner, the guy who turned the non-Ivy

don't need your own horse, or even any previous riding experience — just the desire to learn and the will to pull it off. Campers get up at 6:30 a.m. to feed the horses before returning for their own bran and oats in this rustic ridgeline getaway, complete with barnyard views of the the Green and neighboring White Mountains. A typical day at this adult camp includes four hours in the saddle, combined training in dressage and jumping, cleaning tack and mucking stalls. Breeches, boots and English-style riding rule at Vershire. But even with a $ 1100-per-week price tag, practice takes precedence over pretense at this riding school turned summer camp. Giddyup!

PLEASE SIR, I WANT S HORES Outdoor camps for overgrown kids Rutgers into a national crew powerhouse, Craftsbury coaches include locals like Concept II founder Dick Dreissigacker, his wife Judy Geer and her sister Carlie, all of whom are former Olympic rowers. Horseback Riding at Vershire Riding School I'll admit it, I'm an equinophile — which partially explains my desire to go to camp. While local barns offer a variety of programs, or "clinics," as they're called in the horse world, there's probably no better place to get away to horse camp than the Vershire Riding School.

Sailing on Lake Champlain In its second full year, the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center offers the water equivalent of a rec center day camp for both adults and youth. For older beginners, learn-to-sail programs are offered after work or on two consecutive weekends for as little as $120. At that price, you'll be able to afford a mooring so If you're cut from a different sail cloth, then the International Satling School in Malletts Bay offers a fine alternative: a six day live-aboard cruising option at $755. Throw in director Robin Doyle's habit of resurrecting games and races from her youth, and the sailing camp feeling isn't just blowin' in the wind.

Outdoor Experience at Catamount. For $100 you get three days of instruction on everything from bike handling to race tactics, not to mention hours of skill-building games like mountain-bike tag and polo. What's next, free lube for the ponies? Okay, a road bike tour with P O M G Bike Tours of Vermont isn't technically a camp (the name stands for "Peace of Mind Guaranteed"). But its $214 weekend camping tours are the closest thing. Utilizing Vermont state parks, P O M G gives camping bikers — or is it biking campers? — the luxury treatment with a

sag van, oversized tents and gourmet camp cuisine. All Age/New Age Camps To get in tune with both the social and physical environment, adults or families can join Camp Common Ground in South Hero. In its fifth year, Common Ground is an eclectic blend of traditional and New Age values structured as a cooperative camp that serves some of the best vegetarian food on the Champlain Islands. Tai chi and the healing arts blend seamlessly with sailing and visual art. With Burlington chanteuse Rachel Bissex as the program director, it's easy to create harmony around the campfire. The $375 adult camp fee can be reduced by scholarships or work exchange.

"A Tail Wagging Good Time" If camps are as much about friends as program offerings, why not a place where campers bring their own best friend? Camp Gone to the Dogs on the Marlboro College Campus once again proves the saying, "only in Vermont." Classes and training in lure coursing, herding and canine chiropractic health are tempered with doggie square dancing, bathing-suit pageants and guided nature walks. Eight hundred bucks buys dog and human a week in pooch paradise. Kum-ba-ya, sign me up for the summer! CD

impact on human environments is an apt metaphor for the way media creations operate in the '90s. In lieu of original ideas, these films take something someone else has done and simply inflate it. Whatever qualities the original possessed, whatever it represented in terms of the age that gave birth to it, is reinterpreted in terms of the only quality which presumably is meaningful today: size. Indeed, the entire advertising campaign of Godzilla is built around the slogan, "Size does matter." It's pitched almost as a taunt, as if

was put up to the idea of underground nuclear tests by Sony's publicity department), the new Godzilla could not possibly resonate with the same depth of meaning, the same psychological import, as the original had for viewers in the '50s. Originally released in Japan in 1954, less than 10 years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Godzilla was directly inspired by a series of nuclear tests the United States conducted in the Bikini atoll following World War II. Not only in Japan, but internationally, the wailing sirens announcing Godzillas appearance on the shores of Japan held particular meaning for the generation growing up in the shadows of The Bomb, sensitized to read the sounds not merely as alarms, but, potentially at least, pronouncements of the end of the world. Godzilla, in

How creature features" got so big veryone in America has heard the thumping by now. It started sometime last winter, a faint vibration steadily increasing in volume as the monster gets nearer and nearer. Last seen in 1985 — the 30th anniversary of his very first appearance — Godzilla, the erstwhile King of the Monsters, has risen anew from the Hollywood, acean,. a a d i ^ crushing his way through the pop cultural landscape. There's no way one can stay out of the way of a Hollywood production of this magnitude. Indeed, Godzilla and his

book on the science-fiction genre, sees a primary distinction between creatures of this sort and the assorted wolf men, zombies, vampires, and homemade monsters that are their horror-film counterpart. The key to the horror of the latter, in Sobchak's view, is their distorted but evident humanity, their personality, whereas the Creature exists merely a symbol, an objectification of collective social fears, with little evident connection to things human. Susan Sontag, in turn, sees the films in which Creatures like Godzilla appear as "not about science, but about disaster," films in which the primary concern is what she refers to as "the aesthetics of destruction." In her famous essay, "The Imagination of Disaster," she argues that such monsters provide "a fantasy target for righteous bellicosity to discharge

Creatures are seen as "instruments of punishment for nuclear misuse." Such Creatures included oversized ants and mantises and tarantulas as well as reptiles, arising — significantly for Freudians — out of the bowels of the earth and the depths of the sea, either the mutant byproduct of nuclear contamination or awakened from ancient sleep by nuclear testing. In one, well, amazing entry in the genre, The Amazing Colossal Man (1957), the Beast is human, an army officer who grows 50 feet tall after being accidentally subjected to a nuclear test blast, and who takes out his anger at not having any clothes to wear on Las Vegas. Godzilla itself is representative of a special subgenre of such films, in which giant monsters, aroused from their lairs by nuclear tests, arise from

the ocean to terrorize coastal cities, including (besides Tokyo) London (The Giant Behemoth, 1958; Gorgo, 1961), San Francisco (It Came From Beneath the Sea, 1955), and New York City (The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, 1953). The latter, an atmospheric film directed by Eugene Lourie (who worked as an art director for Jean Renoir and Rene Clair), is not only the prototype for the entire '50s Creature cycle, but perhaps the finest film of the lot. Inspired by Ray Bradbury's classic short story, "The Fog Horn," the nemesis of the film is a frozen Rhedosaurus defrosted, as it were, as a result of nuclear testing in the Arctic. Reflective of the ambivalence toward science that is an earmark of the genre, mans tampering with atoms is simultaneously seen here as the release of uncontrollable forces (the Pandora idea) and the solution to the newly created problem. In a memorable, climactic set-piece involving a ravaged amusement park and a rollercoaster, the heroes subdue the beast by firing a radioactive isotope into a wound in the creature's throat. Vivian Sobchak, in her

itself, and for aesthetic enjoyment of suffering and disaster. "The interest of [these] films," Sontag concludes, "consists in the intersection between a naive and largely debased commercial art product and the most profound dilemmas of the contemporary situation." In the current reincarnation of these films, the latter point of interest is largely decorative, a formal necessity, rather than a point of entry for the audience, a point of meaningfulness. At the same time, our contemporary attitude of superiority to the bargain-basement production values of these films blinds us to the point that it was largely irrelevant to the audiences of their day that Godzilla was a man in a rubber suit and Mothra flew on wires . Fifties "creature features," most of which can be found on videotape, thus serve not only as a portrait of the psychic life of their age; they provide a striking image of our lost movie innocence, of how far we have come in 40 years, and at what price.

magine being at work, doing what you do — whether it's typing 65 wpm or hoisting Ibeams — and suddenly a steady stream of visitors arrives to watch. It's not a scenario most of us would welcome, if only because we don't like someone looking over our shoulder and asking nosy questions. Keep that in mind this weekend, when dozens of artists across Vermont throw open their doors for all the world to see. Such generosity of time and spirit ought not to be taken lightly. Apparently, though, artists actually like to show people what they do, and how. Then again, what they do is a lot more interesting than sitting at a keyboard. The fascination of working a lump of clay or molten glass, of spinning a pile of fluff or carving a hunk of wood into beautiful objets d'art is endless. And that's a good thing, otherwise no one would keep at it long enough to become a master. Vermont, a state suspected of having more artists per square inch than any other, can proudly call many of them masters. The Vermont Crafts Council — which counts 27 craft organizations, 50 craft galleries and more than 100 annual craft events in the state — estimates that 1500 small Vermont crafts businesses bring in $50 million annually. With that kind of drawing power, it's no surprise that Open Studios Weekend provides an early start to the summer tourist season. Named one of Vermont's Top Ten Summer Events, Open Studios is approaching its sixth annual weekend of throwing the doors open — to the production and display of pottery, basketry, glass-blowing, iron- and wood-working, weaving, painting, quilting, carving, etching, stenciling — even musical instrument-making. "The value of Open Studios is it brings the community into the studio," says Richard Donnelly, owner with his wife Kate of Burlington's 11 th Street Studio. "They see your work, see the inner workings of the studio — there's the curiosity, but there's another level of importance: We do it because we like to do it. We're integral to the community, we donate ourselves, our time, our products." Sure, no artist will mind if you buy something, but making money isn't the idea behind Open Studios. "It's more about the other part of our relationship to the community," says Donnelly. It's simply "fun for

everybody. Indeed, one of the best signs of summer is the bright green' tour map provided by the Crafts Council, which provides a descriptive list of the 135 participating artisans and directions for finding them. From Burlington to Barnet to Brattleboro, I 97 studios will be open for viewing — and in some cases for participating. At 11th Street Studio, for instance, anyone with little hands is welcome to come and paint their own picture frames, and then take them home for mom and dad. "Because we like kids, this is what we chose to do," says Donnelly, whose own two small sons will be on hand to break the ice. "Kids are great, and we think they need artistic activities." At other studios, you can

Common Thread** on the Waterfront

Kids do color at 11 watch the experts, like Bob Green, the resident potter at Shelburne Craft School. A true master himself, Green's finished products — voluptuous, raku-fired pots with unbelievably fiery colors — are likely to inspire others to find out what can happen when the (centrifugal) force is with you. At Burlington's Church & Maple Glass or Ziemke Glass in Waterbury Center, expect to feel the heat as you watch the ancient art of turning liquid glass into lovely see-through solids. Not much has changed since the Syrians first discovered, around the time of Christ, that they could blow bubbles into molten glass, explains glassblower Glenn Ziemke, "and yet it kind of mystifies people who've never seen it before."

A lot of pieces of wood came from the ravages of the ice storm, in fact; wood "we think is fabulous," Parsons says, that commercial sawmills would reject. Look for the map at all participating craft studios, Vermont Tourist Information and Welcome Centers, as well as commercial galleries like Frog Hollow (in Burlington, Middlebury, Manchester), Artisans' Hand (Montpelier) and Shimmering Glass (Waterbury).

It was a good weekend for human drama. As opposed to say, meteor drama or giant lizard drama. Spike Lee's latest is his most powerful in a long while. He Got Game stars Denzel Washington as a man serving a double sentence for the accidental killing of his wife. Even harder than the time he's doing in Attica is the time he has reconnecting with the son who can't forgive him. As played by real-life NBA star Ray Allen, the kid is a highschool basketball phenomenon facing intense pressure from numerous universities, as well as big-time sports agents who want him to skip school and go straight into the pros. The last thing he needs is for his father to appear out of nowhere with career advice of his own, but that's exactly what happens when the prison warden releases Washington, temporarily promising to reduce his sentence if he can convince his son to chose the state college. It's a compelling premise, and Lee's film fully lives up to its promise — the writing is brutal

and true, his direction stylish but never intrusive. Washington's transformation, consigned to hell and hellbent on saving his son from his own fete, is a thing of beauty. Both star and director clearly are at the top of their game. Love and Death on Long Island has an equally intriguing premise: John Hurt plays an uptight English author who walks into the wrong theater one day and is appalled by what he sees on the screen (a moronic, /W^yjr-style teen fleshfest), at least until a Bactor played by Jason Priestly makes his entrance. In that moment Hurt's universe is transformed, and the mild-mannered writer is overtaken by a love as profound as it is pathetic and doomed. The kooky, sad pilgrimage Hurt makes to America in a vague quest to link up with the object of his obsession begins promisingly, and several of the scenes the two men share after they first meet give off an oddball spark or two, as though something radically originally were about to take place. Alas, though, it never quite does. Love and Death on Long Island is all premise and promise. In the end, director Richard Kwietniowski hasn't any more idea what to do with the situation than Priestly's character does with the baffling love he's been brought from the other side of the ocean. The final act leaves both audience and storyline dangling. Its characters don't so much walk into the sunset as merely wander off.

G O D Z I L L A I'm sorry, but, from what I've seen, the $120 million event movie of the summer looks like little more than The Lost World on steroids: The lean, muscular giant reptiles, that familiar dino-roar, the bull-in-a-chinashop romp through the streets of New York. Oh, I see the difference - Matthew Broderick plays the yappy know-it-all scientist instead of Jeff Goldblum! Roland (Independence Day) Emmerich directs.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN L A S V E G A S Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam might seem a very strange choice to direct this big-screen adaptation, but then, what isn't very strange when it comes to Hunter Thompson's paranoid psycho-circus of a novel? Johnny Depp stars as the father of gonzo journalism. With Benicio Del Toro and Gary Busey. B U L W O R T H Warren Beatty directed, co-wrote and stars in this political comedy about a U.S. senator who, following a nervous breakdown in the middle of a campaign, begins making strange, highly offensive speeches and hires a hit man to assassinate him. Halle Berry and Oliver Piatt co-star.

New on v I D E o AS GOOD AS IT G E T S * * * 1 / 2 Jack Nicholson stars as a romance novelist who enters into an unlikely romance with coffeeshop waitress Helen Hunt in the comedy-drama from Terms of Endearment director James L. Brooks. Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr. co-star.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS (NR) Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy are teamed in director Anthony Waller's follow-up to the 1981 effects comedy by John Landis.

STARSHIP TROOPERS*** Like his last film, the latest from Showgirls director Paul Verhoeven had a few bugs in it. The difference is they're 8 0 feet tall and out for blood this time. Casper (Tarzan and the Lost City) Van Dien and Patrick Muldoon star in the sci-fi story of futuristic forces attempting to repel an invasion of alien insects. (Tapes courtesy of Passport Video)

ShoWTiMes

THE HORSE WHISPERER ( N R ) Robert Redford is back in the saddle again as both star and director of the big-screen version of Nicholas Evans best-seller about a trainer who changes the life of a young girl injuried in a riding accident. With Scarlett Johansson and Kristin Scott Thomas.

QUEST FOR CAMELOT

( N R ) The latest animated feature from the folks who brought you Space Jam tells the story of a couple of kids who foil an evil plot against King Arthur. Featuring the vocal stylings of Pierce Brosnan, Cary Elwes and Jane Seymour, among others. Frederick Du Chao directs.

THE SPANISH PRISONER*** David Mamet follows

The Edge with this gimicky, sloppily resolved offering about a business analyst trapped in a web of deceit by a powerful shady figure. Campbell Scott and Steve Martin star.

LES MISERABLES (NR)

From Bille (The House of the Spirits) August comes the latest big-screen adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic, featuring an all-star cast that includes Liam Neeson, Uma Thurman and Shine's Geoffrey Rush.

DEEP IMPACT**** in the

first of the seasons two big fallingsky extravaganzas, Morgan Freeman and Robert DuvaJl star as a U.S. President and an astronaut trying to keep the world from !*• being wiped out by a giant earthbound comet. From Peacemaker director Mimi Leder. SCREAM II** Wes Craven directs the just re-released sequel to his shockingly successful nouveau horror hit. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and Jada Pinkett are damsels in distress.

CITY OF ANGELS***

Nicolas Cage plays a heavenly spirit who gives up eternal life for a chance to get physical with Meg Ryan in the latest from Casper director Brad Silberling. PAULIE (NR) JayMohr, Cheech Marin and Gena Rowlands star in the comic saga of a wisecracking parrot. John Roberts directs.

A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM**** Adapted

from the award-winning Howard Frank Mosher novel of the same name, Jay Cravens latest is a rollicking

*****

NR = not reviewed

powerhouse of a picture that deals with racial problems which arise when a black pastor accepts a post in a quiet Vermont community. The amazing cast includes Ernie Hudson, Martin Sheen, Jordan Bayne, Bill Raymond, Carrie Snodgress, Henry Gibson and Rusty Dewees.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS* * * 1 / 2 Jack Nicholson

stars as a romance novelist who enters into an unlikely romance with coffeeshop waitress Helen Hunt in the comedy-drama from Terms of Endearment director James L. Brooks. Greg Kinnear and Cuba Gooding Jr. co-star. TITANiC (NR) Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane and Kathy Bates are among the big names on board James Cameron's monumental look at modern history's most famous disaster.

U.S. MARSHALS (NR)

There's no escaping it: This sequel to The Fugitive looks like a lame rehash with Wesley Snipes filling in for Harrison Ford and a plane crash taking the place of the first films spectacular train wreck. Tommy Lee Jones returns as deputy Samuel Gerard.

MEET THE DEEDLES(NR)

Paul Walker IV and Steve Van Wormer star in this comedy about two surfers who get mistaken for Yellowstone Park rangers and wind up trying to save Old Faithful from maniacal ex-ranger Dennis "Who Else?" Hopper. Also starring the bear from The Edge. HUSH (NR) Gwyneth Paltrow gets pushed off and run over by the welcome wagon when Johnathon Schaech brings her home to meet psycho mom Jessica Lange in this thriller from director Jonathan Darby.

TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY* Smrship Troopers Casper

Van Dien is the latest Hollywood hunk to step into the legendary loin doth. This time around, the ape man saves an ancient mystical city when jungle developers try to build a Wal-Mart. Just kidding about that last part.

Besides, I have a nephew who performs at these things. Similarly, I never miss the Champlain Valley Folk Festival, which not only provides an easy, relaxing, melodic good time in the dog days of August, but has the grace to be held at UVM s Redstone Campus, far from the hustle and bustle of downtown Burlington and nicely tucked away among the trees. That's the trouble with all these festivals, if you ask me — they get in the way of everything else, just as they don't really reflect the everyday life of ordinary people in town.

when most of the students are back in Darien with the tanks that Daddy bought them. Even so, there are plenty of local competitors, men and women who've learned the joys of driving 10 feet off the ground and cutting five-lane highways out of roads that were built for two, at most. My idea is to gather all the S.U.V.'s in a 50-mile radius, line them up at the Waterfront and see which one of them takes up the most space. The losers, by agreement, will be driven into the lake and compensated with city bus passes. The Burlington Red Light Crash 'n' Burn Derby. This one's good for any time of year. The last three people to run through a red light at any intersection in the city would be arrested and held until a total of 500 had been collected. (This should take about an hour and a half.) They would then be brought to the corner of Main and South Prospect Streets and required to run through the red lights again. All at once. During a marathon. With a farmers' market and a sack race on the UVM green. The Failed Artists Festival. Painters, sculptors, poets, musicians, jewelers, storytellers, filmmakers, dancers and their therapists — especially their therapists — will be invited to submit an essay explaining "Why I Am an Artist and Just Who Do I Think I'm Kidding?"

waste products. Another workshop will advise Vermonters about the dangers of mercury and how to reduce local exposure. Some of the workshops are more specific, for example, to help people strategize about living with chemical sensitivities, or using nutritional, botanical and desensitization approaches. One speaks to chronic fatigue syndrome, another to dealing with asthma. You may be wondering how all thes<: workshops could be packed into one day. Good question. Unfortunately, you muse choose among 12 simultaneous workshops in each of the three sessions. I suggest bringing 11 of your closcst friends to hit them all. While the conference is put on in conjunction with some 26 organzations, it is in large pan due to Sanders "great interest in alternative health, both personally and in terms of his advancing legislation in Washington for alternative treatments and care." according Phillip Fiermonte, one of the conference coordinators in the Congressman's Burlington office. Two years ago. his Alternative Health Advisory Committee resulted in the first conference of this kind in Vermont, with 600 people attending. Fiermonte says. Sanders, who has himself used alternative treatments, has worked to get warning labels on carpeting known to aiRfea chemically sensitive people. He's currently addressing B G ^ f W y | | | n e s s , ' , which Fiermonte calls "a synergistic effect of chemicals, oil spills and the like." Many local practioners will be leading workshops ar this years conference, including Mollv Fleming, N.D., and Allan Ramsay, M.D., who will speak on creating a collaborative team between vour physician and your holistic health provider. Their workshop seems to sum up the overall purpose of the conference: to help us use all the approaches

The conference is aimed at doing precisely what the title implies: pulling together various approaches to health, the better to prevent and treat illness. You may note that in this column, health practitioners often recommend this method; I find that "holistic" practitioners in particular usually advise a range of treatment options ~~ especially for serious or life-threatening illnesses — including surgery, drugs or radiation supported by herbal remedies, acupuncture and other alternatives. This array can be confusing and difficult to coordinate, so my hope is that this conference will help pull together seemingly disparate treatments. Many practioners are increasingly concerned about prevention of diseases, and this conference offers many workshops on the topic. One addresses the problem of environmental hormones on womens reproductive health. These
