Jones said Middleton explained he took the bus because “he need ed a ride home." * An unidentified bus driver in Zimbabwe was transporting 20 mental patients from the capi tal city of Harare to Bulawayo Mental Hospital when he stopped at an illegal roadside liquor store. According to South Africa’s Financial Mail, he returned after a few drinks to find that all the mental patients had escaped. He stopped at a regular bus stop and offered free rides to several people, then delivered them to the mental hospital. It took the abducted passengers three days to convince hospital personnel of the switch.

OH, BRITANNIA T he new British Governm ent won’t last six m onths. A nd you read it first in Seven Days (Newsquirks, May 14). At least that could be your headline if they do w hat you say they plan to do. You say they will require pubs to “replace beer glasses... w ith larger glasses inscribed with a line marking 16 ounces” because a survey found many pints sold fell short. T hat would be political suicide given that the British (aka Imperial) pint is 20 ounces! (A far, far more satisfying measure than its wimpy U.S. equivalent, by the way.)

— Justin Joffe Burlington

TAXING SITUATION T he Straight D ope column in your 5/14/97 issue gets into some arcane trivia vis-a-vis the 16th am endm ent which made the income tax legal. Actually the more interesting, and perhaps hum orous aspect o f this am endm ent was the debate it generated. T he most

telling argum ent against the am endm ent was that it established a slippery slope. W hat would stop some future Congress from impos ing a 50 percent tax rate? To counter this argum ent the propo nents proposed w ording to the effect that the tax could never exceed 10 percent o f gross income. T his was rejected because it was argued that this limit would, in fact, become the rate almost upon ratification. At that time 2 percent was considered the probable rate. O ne can’t help speculating as to what the effect of a 10 percent limit in the am endm ent would have been.

— Raymond E. Leary Shelburne

BESSIES BACKATCHA O nce more into the breach... Having invented and put together this year’s first Bessie Awards show, it seems it is once again time to get out the machete and hack through the undergrowth o f m isunderstand ing. 1 am responding to Allan Nicholls’ letter o f last week (Weekly Mail, May 14).

Fargo, “you betcha!” High-profile, high-ticket ■*. 1 , fundraising events are not done quietly. Glad you noticed our publicity efforts. 2) Mr. Nicholls asked how an uninform ed public can vote on pieces they have never seen. This is a very good point. Local theater companies present all year long, and we encourage everyone to see more live the ater. Independent filmmakers face a tougher situation in getting an audience. T h at’s why we offered a Movie M arathon Weekend in City Hall April 4, 5 & 6. We screened, free o f charge, every single film nominated for a Bessie. Twenty-six films were shown representing the work o f 21 artists. This collection o f features, documentaries, anim ation and shorts spanned 20 hours o f screen time. I know, you didn’t see the flyers and the ad in Seven Days. 3) There was never a question about the involvement o f the Free Press and why they didn’t “cover all o f the nominees.” This arrangement is known as a sponsor ship. W hen you yourself lack resources, you work out a partnership. The Free Press recognized a marketing opportunity and went all the way with it. City Arts is grateful for their participation. By “covering the nom inees,” do you mean profiles in the paper? Great idea. We would have loved to see a series o f pieces on all 60+ nominees and their work. Maybe next year. 4) Mr. Nicholls, w ithout knowing the truth, suggests “our Arts Council put their granted funds towards this awards evening.” D on’t make a claim if you don’t have the facts. All funds raised for the Bessies were wholly outside o f our annual budget. There was no budget for this show, and that’s what made it a lot o f work. We found corporate and private donors and sold tables as well as individual tickets. Every nominated artist came as our guest so there would be no question o f who could afford to attend. T he suggestion that we misused funds is incorrect and irresponsible. 5) There is a further point raised about eliminating artists and their work. I can only guess that Mr. Nicholls is referring to other disciplines such as dance, music and visual arts. T he Bessie Awards were designed for stage and screen work. You can’t cover everything in one night, and our show ran quite long enough. T he Bessies were created to raise awareness o f the work being done by our local theater and film artists and to raise money for Burlington City Arts and Vermont CARES. We were successful on both of those fronts. O ur further goals are to stimulate public interest in the arts, encourage financial support and create larger audiences. Mr. Nicholls writes that our gala evening “appeared pretty bogus” to him. I find this an amazing characterization from someone who wasn’t even there.

1) Mr. Nicholls accuses us o f “some serious self-pro motion” surrounding the Bessies. As they say in

Dear Cecil, .Why doecthetl.S, dollar bill have the image of a pyramid with an eye in the capstone? Someone told me that it has something to do with a shadow society that secredy rules the country. If they’re so secret why would they be so obvious about their insignia? | want the straight dope — that is, unless they’ve gotten to you, too. — Jas6h K., Stkrborohgh^ Ontario A'.' ■' . They haven’t. Ticks me off. Why should guys from the dailies get all the payola? As for the apparent paradox of a secret society advertis ing itself in one of the world’s most conspicuous places, some say that’s the beauty of it. The conspirators are geniuses, see? They know :v tharthe morfe they make themselves obvious, the more they’ll be invisible. Problem is, you’ve gotta be suspicious of a conspiracy theory , that sounds likethe kind of BS you’d dream up yourself. / !v||;T As you know ifyouve read the fine print, what ybu.see oh the back of a dollar bill isth f great seal of the U.S., established by Congress on June 20, 1782. The official interpretation is that the pyramid represents strength and durability. It’s incomplete because so is the work of building the nation. The eye in the triangle is the allseeing eye of providence. What makes the story interesting is that the eye and pyramid have links to Freemasonry. The eye, for example, is said to be a symbol of the Great Architect of the Universe, i.e., God. The symbolic signifi cance of the pyramid and the eye were well known to educated folk of the 18th century, and one may argue that the Masons and the design ers of the seal were merely drawing on the same symbolic sources. But what if... one pauses pregnantly... there’s more to it? Due to incomplete records, nobody knows exactly how many of the founding fathers were Masons. But there were quite a few, includ ing George Washington, Ben Franklin and possibly Thomas Jefferson. Franklin and Jefferson were on the committee assigned to design the great seal. This group produced a desigp calling for, among other things, an all-seeing eye. While the eye was a>bl>YK£design offibrwise pretty much stank, and the job wound up getting dumped ort the sec retary of the Congress, Charles Thomson. Thomson enlisted the aid of Philadelphian Wiliam Barton. The two cooked up the scheme we have today, incorporating the all-seeing eye plus a pyramid, because everybody liked the idea of Egyptian symbolism. Its not known if Barton and Thomson were Masons, and judging there’s no indication a Masonic conBut it’s crossed lots of >ries range from Nuts to Really Nuts to Grounds for Immediate Commitment. Joseph Campbell, in The Power of Myth, proposed a wacky but basically genial interpretation that works in Solomons Seal and the Pythagorean tetraktys and Egyptian folklore. Upshot: the seal is a symbolical representation of democracy. Fine as far as it goes, but lacking the essential element of paranoia. For this we turn to the religious right, which sees the eye and pyramid as evi dence of a Masonic plot (by George Washington!) to destroy Christianity. And then, of course — you knew I was getting |o this— there’s the Illuminati connection. As you know from our previous discussions of this subject, the Illuminati are the grand cabal behind everything, including, some think, weird stuff on money. The question is, who’s behind the Illuminati? Wise individuals, I venture to say. Indeed, we may characterize them as wise guys. I’m thinking of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, who in the mid-’70s wrote the conspiracy satire Illumiwtus!, which has become a cult classic. Wilson et al. have been shoveling baloney about the Illuminati/eye on the pyramid/world-domination conspiracy for more than 20 years, and some credit them with single-handedly keeping the thing alive. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, it’s a joke intended to separate hip folk (who get it) from right-wing losers (who don’t). So Jason, let me ask you. You think it’s real? § jg . — CECIL ADAMS

COMING OUT PARTY

There’s been no shortage of coming-out jokes since Democratic Party Chairman Steve Howard made the big splash a couple weeks back. Well, guess who’s next? Former Democratic Congressional I Candidate Jack Long tells Inside Track he’s let friends and associates know he’s out of the clos et at last — the Democratic Party closet, that is From this day forward Jack Long wears a Republican Party sweatshirt. “I don’t plan a formal announcement,” says Mr. Longshot. “It’s a personal thing.” And the reason? “Primarily,” says Jack, “because the party drifted too far to the left for me as a moderate. It’s too dysfunctional.” The former environmental commissioner and member of the Dean cabinet says some folks advised him “to come out as a Howard Dean Republican. But his youngest daughter, the shopper, suggested ‘Banana Republican.”’ You’ll recall Jack’s congressional candidacy drew the cold shoulder from most Vermont Democrats, who let it be known they stood firmly in the Bernie Sanders camp. Long was even called a “Republican plant” by an official at the DNC. So Jack went to Washington, D.C., and picketed party head quarters. Long insists there’s no con nection between his treatment by the “D ’s” and his decision to come out as a Republican. He tells Inside Track “that’s like parents throwing their hon I orable son out of the house and then accusing him of desertion.” Now Jack’s joined the party of Susan Sweetser. Sweetser Update — Speaking of Susan Sweetser, Vermont Public Radio’s brash new rightwing commentator, congratula tions may be in order, folks, any minute. The former congres sional candidate and state sena tor is, according to court records in her pending divorce case, about to give birth to a second child. The records indi cate her estranged husband and former employee, David Sands, is the papa. And court records indicate Sweetser is “considering reconciliation.” We hope all goes well for the fiery redhead, but she did not return our call this week. The same public records indicate Susie Creamcheese is now being represented by Sandy Baird. Small world. Baird is a former Demo cratic state representative who has her eyes set on being Burlap’s next Democratic mayor. Salmon Swimming Upstream — University of Vermont President and former Vermont gover nor Tom Salmon is heading back to his country home in Rockingham to “decide what I want to be when I grow up.” Cute. Sunday on C h.3’s “You Can Quote Me,” Salmon was holding his cards close to his vest on the subject of his future. He alluded to several projects, but added, “I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other options.” Other options? Pray tell, Big Fish. Let’s see now, 1998 is an election year. We know that. Tom knows that. Hmmm. Stranger things have hap pened. After all, academia was never his strong suit. He only went there because UVM needed a tough Irish cop to put out the brushfires. Big Fish Tom Salmon couldn’t resist depart ing without taking a jab at his favorite newspa per — heck, our favorite newspaper, The Burlington Free Press.

Parsons for a little advice for staff and faculty at Groovy UV, Tom replied, “Stop being so down on yourself all the time. Don’t believe every thing you read in the local daily.” Like, who does, Tom? Dream Team Blues — Green Mountain Power didn’t have a good week last week. As far as the doings under the golden dome go, GMP hasn’t | had a very good year. The state’s second-biggest | electric company got out the checkbook last fall ^ and signed up a Dream Team of hired-gun business lobbyists to carry its cause in the halls I of power during what was supposed to be The | Year of Electric Restructuring. David Wilson, j Stephen Kimbell, Jeanne Kennedy, Bob Sherman and Gerry Tarrant certainly looked good on paper. But, like the New Jersey Devils 1 a couple weeks ago, in the end they simply couldn’t deliver. They got a bill out of the sen- | ate — a bill that nobody loved — but they couldn’t get it past House Speaker Michael Obuchowski. Obie puts Mrs. Murphy’s inter ests first, and assigned electric restructuring to 1 the back burner. No way was he going to per mit a rush job on this baby. And then last week, in a demonstration of how to shoot yourself in the foot, GM P’s head honcho, Douglas Hyde, blamed his company’s failure squarely on Obuchowski. O f course he was talking to his shareholders at the time and wasn’t about to lay the blame on himself and GM P’s political guru, Steve 1 Terry. ( But Obuchowski isn’t going | away soon. The Speaker right- g fully put the monkey back on ® GM P’s back. After all, every1 body knows, Obie pointed out, | it was GM P’s leap into bed with J Hydro Quebec in 1991 that got g GMP and its customers up a creek in the first place. Batman and Robin — Burlington’s wannabe mayor of g the future, City Councilor Kurt Wright, scored a few three■ ■ pointers last week lobbing some I ■ well-targeted shots at Mayor ■ Peter Clavelle for the department heads’ “retreat” up in Stowe. “Taxpayer money!” cried Cash Register Kurt from behind the counter at Kerry’s Kwik Stop. Hard to believe a Republican would object to boosting the Stowe economy, but Kurt will take any opportunity to whack Clavelle. And Kurt knows how to work the media. He got a great ride from Brian Joyce on | WCAX Monday, and followed it up Wednesday g with a doubleheader. First he took his pitch to I the Ch. 17 airwaves on “Live at 5:45,” where he was joined by his fellow Republican coun- I cilors. Next he and his sidekick, rookie Republican Councilor M att Gardy, shot out to g Adelphia Cable for their regular “Common Sense” program on Ch. 15. With Gardy joining Wright on the city council, Batman has found § his Robin. 1 For his part, Mayor Moonie fired off a memo the morning after Wright’s salvo, claim ing that retreats for department heads “facilitate the kind of work that results in increased departmental efficiency and effectiveness.” Da’ mayor also went after his nemesis by name. “For Councilor Kurt Wright to challenge g this meeting in the media is short-sighted and reeks of political opportunism,” wrote an angry Clavelle. Political opportunism? Shocking. There ought to be a law against it. But if there was, the whole gang would be in the slammer. □ SSSSSSs SwsSsSs

BACK TALK

D O N 'T MESS WITH MESSNER: Spill is not the first band to use the ironic image of Tom Messner to graphic advan tage. But it is definitely the first to put the f-word into his mouth — in big block letters on a poster that shouts, “These guys fuckin’ rock.” The grinning weatherman was annoyed and “embarassed” by the erroneous attribution. He got wind of it from a state legislator who saw the posters plastered all over the schoolyard at Edmunds Elementary. Acknowledging that celebrity has its “plusses and minuses,” Messner explains, “I don’t want anybody to think I speak, or think or represent myself that way.” Aaron Ingham of Spill says his band never intended to offend Messner. “We just thought it would be funny because he is the last person who would be into our kind of music.” Right they are. To Messner, Spill is something you wipe up. His main concern, he says, “was getting the posters down.” Mission accomplished. The posters disappeared almost as fast as the last batch, which featured the bare, xeroxed ass of the band’s bass player. The cartoon bubble on the replacement poster reads, “Sorry Tom, but we still rock.” CHAPTERS CLOSED?

The Little House on Shelburne Road is closing its doors. After six years putting out award-win ning cookbooks, garden guides and works of fiction by Joe Citro and other Vermont authors, Chapters Publishing has sold its assets — including its name and all of its titles —- to Houghton Mifflin, the largest independent publisher in the country. “The publishing equivalent of guerrilla warfare” is how Chapters edi tor-in-chief Barry Estabrook sums up half a dozen years in the book business. “Let’s put it this way — running a small publish ing venture from Vermont is extremely difficult, and you pay dearly for the privilege of living here. ” Estabrook and senior edi tor Rux M artin will make the move to Houghton headquarters in Boston. “If it had to happen, we couldn’t have picked a more ideal company,” Estabrook says. “They care. They are authororiented. They put the same quality into the books that we do. This enables us to keep publishing the books we always did — just with the advantages of doing it with a bigger house.” Houghton plans to use the Chapters imprint to get into the lucrative cookbook business.

IN B RIEF:

“I have a message for the 32 men who are seated here today,” Billi Gosh told the mostly female crowd of 900 who came out Sunday to celebrate the establishment o f the Vermont Women’s Fund. “You are not only courageous men, you are very lucky men.” Gosh proceeded to give directions to the nearest men’s room, which was upstairs, down the hall — the first-floor toilets had been taken over by women. Today the urinals, tomorrow the world . . . St. Michael’s grads got their diplomas, all right. But with the degree came a free CD — The Music o f Armand Messier. President Marc vanderHeyden got the idea of producing an album after a campus concert featuring works by the 21-year-old music major from Swanton. The tunes do not exactly rock — there is more spirit than soul on these tracks. “Students like to see their own creations made physical to the rest of the world,” says Flemish-born vanderHeyden. “Computer technology permits us to capture the creative genius on campus and let it flow” . . .

and supported her family w ith, a variety of jobs that lead her to Wisconsin, Illinois, Washington, D.C., Virginia, California, New York and even the Philippines. Eventually she followed two of her children — Daniel and Nicholas — to Vermont in 1983. Now Amie only hints modestly at her past, verifying

to Vermont in the early ’70s. Previously a wood sculp tor, harp maker and apple picker, Daniel started playing guitar at 14 and did his first national tour on guitar and lute in 1970. He eventually released three solo records on the Windham Hill label, play ing six- and 12-string guitar. Along with George Winston, Michael Hedges and Alex deGrassi, Daniel Hecht was an early star of the musical move-

college, earned his MFA in creative writing, and set to work on his first novel. His fiction turned out to be as good as his music: The still untitled book recently insti gated a major bidding war among a dozen publishers, and eventually landed an “almost seven-figure deal” with Viking Penguin. His agent has sold rights to the book in every major country except Germany. Come

in panic, Nicholas stayed behind. Senators Michael . Mansfield and; Walter Mondale — and even the Kennedy administration — got involved in the aftermath. Hecht became a regular fixture on the evening news as he developed what he describes as a “legal standing like that of an embassy.” But the continu al harassment eventually became tiresome, and after about three years Hecht ran

usual low-key manner. Hecht hails from a clan that doesn’t have to show off. His family has visited with presidents and kings, toured the globe and graced some of its finest stages. The Hecht family — Nicholas, his author-musician brother Daniel, and painter mother Amie — is as accom plished as it is talented. Collectively its members have recorded on a major label, founded art galleries, fought the FBI and signed major international book deals. Family values, for this icono clastic clan, amounts to more than a couch to crash on — although Nicholas, who trav els extensively, has a serious bohemian streak. His beret stays on year round. Nicholas gets his wander lust from his mom, Amie — her life as an artist has taken her many places. One of four artist sisters, she was widowed young, raised four children on her own and still managed to travel the world. Amie worked her way around the country

that she was a socialist and political activist in her early days in Washington. An afi cionado of all things Chinese, she sums up her life philoso phy as “Quaker-Buddhist” — she even raised sacred Bodhi trees, used in ceremonies cele brating the birthday of Buddha. “I’m not a scholar,” the warm, grandmotherly woman insists. “I just read books.” Her children are artists and globe-trotters, too. Steve and Kristin live in D.C. and Wisconsin. It was Daniel, now president of the Pyralisk board of directors, who first moved

ment dubbed “new age.” He worked with the genre’s pio neer, William Ackerman — who recently opened Imaginary Road Studios in southern Vermont — and was a headliner at Carnegie Hall. Inspired by his mother’s interest in the Chinese, Daniel was the first Western musician to tour China after the inci dent at Tiananmen Square in 1989. Then disaster struck: A severe medical condition left his hands unable to hold a guitar, and this man who had devoted his life to music could no longer play. So Hecht went back to

SEVEN DAYS

icholas Hecht, five years older than Daniel, is a traveler and explorer like the rest of his family. In the early ’60s, he founded an art space similar to the Pyralisk on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. — right across the street from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Nicholas threw wild, multi-media beatnik par ties that drew a lot of people, and attention. The FBI wasn’t invited, and they didn’t take too kindly to what brother Daniel describes as the “caul dron of social experiences” that occurred in the aban doned warehouse, dubbed “Hecht Fantasies.” They feds did everything in their power to shut Hecht down, and went as far as to bust one party. And while other neighboring artists fled

out of steam and moved on. Fast forward 15 years, and the rabble-rouser is at it again. The goateed, beret-wearing Nicholas Hecht brought the Pyralisk to life in 1989 in a funky old building smack dab in the middle of a much smaller capital. For seven years, Montpelier’s casual cof fee shop, art gallery and per formance space — named after one of Hecht’s sculptures — hosted hundreds of artists, actors and musicians. Most people in Vermont had never seen anything like it: Audiences ran the gamut from toddlers to grandparents, and an organization that looked very anti-establishment from the outside formed a new mainstream. The Pyralisk hosted art exhibits by the mayor of Montpelier, yearly legislative reviews, hardcore and bluegrass shows. One benefit raised over $2000 for the Montpelier Flood Relief Fund.

reviews. . PEGGY MADDEN T O T H E S K Y (Sistrum Records, CD) — This is not an album you’ll ever hear recreated in a nightclub or concert hall, though some of its moments are jazzy enough. Imagine Pat Metheny trading his guitar for the magical emulator that is the MIDI, and picking up some pointers from the kind of new-age composers popular in massage rooms. Peggy Madden is a Randolph, Vermont, compos er guided by spirit — the title of this disc alone should tell you something — and grounded in the traditions of classical and jazz. Add to that the spacey, majestic possibili ties of a computerized keyboard and the logistical machinations of sequencing, and you’ve got Windows of the Sky, where new-age meets the space age. Unlike

the pounding, bass-and-drums dance orientation of “techno” popular in clubs, Madden’s technological feats remain rooted in melody and emotion. Even lis teners who prefer the good old rhythms and analog warmth of pop and rock might be moved by some of Madden’s evocative compositions — in the same way sweeping film soundtracks can alter moods, transport hearts and minds without your even realizing it. “Blossoms of Eternal Moments” is one such piece; though at times overdramatic, it facilitates imagination of (you choose the victory). Windows of the Sky offers lighter fere as well: “Hearts and Rainbows” is more uptempo and syncopated, favor ing a steel-drum sound, percussion and the gentle shimmer of chimes. The title track is jazzier, employ ing a soprano sax, stand-up bass and trumpet sounds. Continued on page 10

The other side o f the Greer story is expected to bt Bv P e t e r

Fr eyne

he U.S. government pre sented its last morsel of evi dence Friday in Vermont’s biggest drug trial in history — eight weeks after the trial began on March 20. This week attorneys for Billy Greer, Stephen Hutchins, Glen Koski, Greg Stevens and Tom Cook will put on their defense. They’ve informed the court their defense should take less than two weeks, but observers anticipate it may be much briefer — two or three days. On Friday, the government’s final act was to go to the video tape. However, the very same video was used unsuccessfully 10 years ago in a federal drug trial in Maine. In that “reverse sting” operation, drug agents masquerading as marijuana dealers attempted to lure major buyers. Greer was among those who came calling at Room 332 of the Sheraton Tara Hotel in Portland, Maine, in March 1986. Though Greer appeared only briefly on the 20-minute video — he was sitting just out of view of the hidden camera — he could be heard talking quantity and price with the undercover agents. But the meeting concluded without a deal being cut. Prior to trial the defense fought to have the video excluded, but Judge William K. Sessions III sided with the gov ernment, and his decision was

upheld by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the video did not appear to be as damaging as anticipated. Greer’s attorney, Robert Kalina, cross-examined DEA Special Agent Michael Cunniff, who’d played the role of pot kingpin in the sting. Kalina was able to get Cunniff to concede that the videotape was such weak evidence in the Maine trial a decade ago that the judge quickly dismissed the “attempt to possess marijuana” count against Greer as soon as the government rested its case. “And the 12 men and women on the jury,” asked Kalina as he motioned to the jurors in the Burlington courtroom, “returned a ver dict of ‘not guilty’ on the remaining con spiracy count. Isn’t that true, Agent Cunniff?” “That’s cor rect,” said Cunniff. Kalina, a New York Citybased defense attorney who spe cializes in federal drug cases, did not return home to New York this weekend as has been his custom during the trial. Instead, he joined with the rest of the defense team Saturday morning at the law offices of

Mark Kaplan to begin planning their defense. The government says the defendants engaged in a con spiracy to import and export illegal drugs, and that Greer and Hutchins were the master minds of a “career criminal enterprise” from 1980 to 1993. Other counts include attempted money laundering, attempted importation of hashish and vio lation of the Maritime Drug Act. The defense is expected to try to demonstrate that, rather than being engaged in one con

spiracy, the defendants were involved in multiple unrelated conspiracies. And they will like ly emphasize that those conspir acies occurred outside the fiveyear statute of limitations. According to testimony from the government’s witness es, Hutchins ran a hashish smuggling enterprise in the

choice in Europe and in Montreal. One of the govern ment’s last witnesses was Jean Martin of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Martin has been involved in undercover drug investigations for more than two decades, and was cer tified as an “expert” witness by Judge Sessions. He testified that hashish imported to Montreal is distributed in a 300-mile radius. However, Martin was not aware of any specific smug gling operations into the U.S., and said he never heard of the four Montrealers whose names ^ had been mentioned by previ3 ous witnesses as being contacts " for Hutchins and Greer. ^ While the defendants them;H selves are not expected to take 2 the stand, the defense may call — i Special Agent Rick Carter of ° the DEA. A burly, bearded for£ mer Church Street bar bouncer, Carter has sat at the govern ment’s table throughout the proceedings, but was not called to testify even though he’s been the point man on the investiga tion. Like Greer, Carter grew up in South Burlington. Their relationship was highlighted in pair hooked up with a Dutch a May 1994 Readers Digest arti crime syndicate and were cle, “The Case of the Swaggering Smuggler/’ involved in the importation into Canada of two huge ship Carter joined the Vermont ments of hashish — one in State Police in 1980. According to Readers Digest, “In 1990 1989 and one in 1991. Several witnesses pointed Carter fulfilled a longtime out that Canadians, unlike ambition and joined the DEA. Americans, prefer hashish to At the top of his to-do list as a marijuana — it’s the drug of federal agent was Billy Greer.” □ 1970s and ’80s that smuggled loads of hash north into Canada to, feed the Montreal market. Greer, according to testimo ny, dealt large quantities of marijuana in Vermont and else where in New England. He also moved kilos of cocaine from Florida to Burlington, witnesses said. At some point in the mid1980s Greer and his crew hooked up with Hutchins in the export operation while still running his other drug busi ness. By 1989, apparently using their Montreal connections, the

But, though the Pyralisk closed its doors in April 1996 — the space has since become a pool hall — its mission continues unabated. Unable to negoti ate the purchase of the old building, the Hecht brothers began a site search that con tinues to this day. Originally they had hoped to move the Pyralisk to a development project on the city’s waterfront — pro posed home to a genuine arts center — but the plans have since become tangled in red tape and lawsuits; all construction is on hold. For the time being, the Pyralisk

Croatia, visited Amsterdam and France, and even played his clarinet in Sarajevo. In every new country he visits, Nicholas notes the strength and community fostered by the arts, and in turn his own commitment grows stronger. In Sarajevo, he witnessed what he calls a “flaming cafe scene,” despite nearly a decade of war that has ravaged the city’s streets. He credits the art and music community there, in fact, for helping people keep the faith during the bombings. “It’s safe there now,” he says. “And the people are totally determined to hold it all together. It’s a very enlight ened city.” The Hechts clearly see the need for the arts, for a space to let the arts flourish, and the extended family that forms as a result. And what a family it is. □

Bv M e la n ie Menaqh ost people associate sum mer camp with bonfires and bug dope — sweaty games like “Capture the Flag” and “Tug of War.” But my Vermont summer camp memo ries are of building sets, hang ing lights and try-outs — more like “A Chorus Line” than “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah.” I spent July and August immersed in — and the rest of the year hankering for — the theater at Brown Ledge Camp, just up the road from Burlington on Lake Champlain. Best known as a horseback riding camp for girls, Brown Ledge has turned out as many professional actors as accom plished equestrians. Most notable are Gwyneth Paltrow, who lit up last year’s Emma,; and Stephanie Zimbalist, who made her mark in “Remington Steele.” Lesser known alums include Debora Rosen, who is currently acting in a play on the West End in London. Lisa Buxbaum, an Off-Broadway stage manager and Fran Brill, who is one of the Muppet voic es. When Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins showed last sum mer in Burlington, it was to catch their daughter in a play — at Brown Ledge Candy Peate does not have

Happy Memorial Day!

The seven-year-old singing camp is directed by Larry Gordon, who, despite a lack of formal training, has been con ducting choral groups since 1970. The 52-year-old Marshfield resident also directs the Onion River Chorus in Montpelier and continues ongoing Village Harmony ses sions for schoolkids yearround. “I’ve always loved choral music and four-part har monies, and I’ve loved working with teenage singers,” says Gordon. “Also about every year and a half I get together kids and adults to tour — four so far to England. Gordon’s a self-described zealot of traditional shape-note music — a lively, hard-edged style of a cappella with New England roots. His camp pro gram combines shape-note with other styles, such as medieval and baroque, African and Balkan. In fact, two of the girls in the Newark (Vermont) Balkan Chorus — which per formed not long ago on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion” radio show — attended Village Harmony last summer, notes Gordon; two more are coming this year. The campers — boys and girls aged from 12 to 20 — are similarly diverse; though most-

PERFECT HARMONY C ontinued from page 13 ly Vermonters, teens have arrived from as far as Hong Kong, Germany and England. The young singers come to Village Harmony because of the recommendation of their school’s music department — or just word of mouth. All involved clearly share a serious love of music. “Most of the kids have done a lot of singing before they come here,” confirms Gordon, “in school or on their own.” Each of the four three-week sessions begins with one week of rehearsal for the group of 18. Gordon directs, along with a

variety of guest leaders who bring their own particular styles and musical tastes. True to its name, students and teachers live together coop eratively at Village Harmony, sharing meals and taking part in more traditional camp activi ties like hiking or swimming. Extra-curricular activities, though, usually involve more music — including the instru mental and danceable kinds. After a hectic week, Gordons groups are ready to take their show on the road. And they do, performing for churches and community halls all over rural New England —and taken in by families, church members and other

community groups — nearly every night of their last two weeks at camp. This summer, some of the singers will travel throughout New England and upstate New York — the final group gets to perform in England. Typically, parents pay, but some scholar ships are available for those who cannot afford the $950 tuition — “at least two-thirds of the kids get some degree of financial aid,” Gordon says. “We’ve been to England six times since 1988,” he adds, “and we’ve been to Germany and Italy twice.” Some of these trips have been with Northern Harmony — a combination of youth and adults.

Village Harmony has sparked international interest — Gordons tireless pursuit of contacts will have his campers trotting around the globe for many summers to come. Many of them come back for more, as often as seven summers, he reports. Equally ambitious under takings include several CDs of Village Harmony material, released on Gordon’s own Northern Harmony label. The most recent, Endless Light, fea tures primarily original work written by the teen campers — much of it in the shape-note tradition, with some more con temporary tunes. “It’s kind of unusual music for teenagers to

be singing,” says Gordon. “It’s not pop, not rock ’n’ roll, not even your usual classical.” Indeed. While most kids this age are more likely to be found with a Walkman damped to their heads — maybe listening to the latest from The Spice Girls — Village Harmony singers unabashedly love, and work hard to master, the music of a bygone era. “Kumbaya” its not — and this camp is not for marshmallows. □ The first Village Harmony summer concert in the area will be July 3 at Castleton State College.

SUMMER STAGE Continued from page 13 in 1962, went away for a few years to do professional theater, returned in 1969 and has been there ever since. “Summer stock couldn’t match the fun and excitement of Brown Ledge,” Currie says. “We have a huge talent supply, and as an educational theater, you don’t have to worry about box office. The show only needs to play for us.” Lots of BLT-ers have the same sort of visceral connec tion to the place, which lures them back for alumni week ends or to perform in the annual production of the Stock Company — the camp’s best actresses are invited to join. Paltrow raved about her years at “Brown Ledge acting camp” in a recent New York Magazine cover story. Zimbalist appeared on a TV interview sporting a Brown Ledge sweatshirt, and explained how she hadn’t been interested in acting, but changed her mind after spend ing summers at BLT. I was in a number of shows with Stephanie — The Miracle Worker, Peter Pan, Thidwick, the Big-Hearted Moose. One week I’d play a madwoman; next week, a squirrel; then Katherine of Aragon, an Indian, the moon. In the six

summers I was there, I. had dozens of roles, it ’s this con-r stant variety, constant work, that makes the program so good. “The sheer number of shows that we did,

O f course none of this would work without a crackerjack staff overseeing operations. The current group is a mixture of professionals and grad students in theater, including for mer camper Lindsey Nixon, now at Carnegie-Mellon, and Jeremy Palmer, from the University o f Vermont, who also does tech for Peate at the Theatre Factory. “Over the years, we’ve learned what will work with the least amount of effort technically,” says Currie. “We’ve used a lot of open stag ing — even before it became fashionable.” Good theater continues at Brown Ledge, largely due to strong support from succeeding generations of camp owners. I think back to those Saturday summer nights at Brown Ledge, making up in the Green Room with its photos of past productions, and the thunder out front as the girls scrambled up the wooden bleachers. I see the wall of their faces — each one of which I knew — look ing down on us onstage. They were great audiences. Currie says, “We can take a play that may not be friendly to the average audience, and with our actors, gain added warmth or an extra laugh.” □

SEVEN DAYS

W h y g o t o J S C t h is s u m m e r ?

here was a time in Vermont when, if a tourist set foot on a farmer’s land, he might be greeted by the business end of a sawed-off shotgun. Well, times have changed. A kinder, gentler Vermont and, more important ly, economic necessity has prompted an increasing number of farmers to open their barn doors. Welcome to agritourism, where city slickers who think milk comes from aisle nine meet the bovine counterpart to the waxed carton. Agritourism, an increasingly attractive option for smaller to mid-size family farms, capital izes on Vermont’s bucolic cachet. Strapped for dollars that aren’t coming from dairy subsi dies or higher prices per hun dredweight, some farmers are beginning to invite tourists —

Never m ind the Caribbean about a vacation down on the farm ? —

as it might seem. “We had a father and moth er who came to stay with us, and they had their children out in the barn with the cows and they were just standing there watching,” marvels Beth. “And they were like, ‘When does the milk start coming?’” Down-home hospitality and a “country-mouse” education gives guests of the Kennetts a relaxing and informative experi ence — most have never come this close to the source of their food before. Bob Townsend of the University of Vermont Extension Service strongly champions agritourism in Vermont, and believes it could help protect the economic future of the state’s family farms. “Tourism is the numberone industry in the world,” he

notes. “Vermont is lucky to have a reputation for natural beauty that brings tourists to the state. A lot of that repu tation is built on the cows, the maple syrup, the orchards, and the farm-relat ed image.” Townsend recently spent a six-month sabbatical study ing the connection between agriculture and the tourism industry. His research took him to states, like Wisconsin and Minnesota, that have effectively capitalized on their agricultural image. Townsend says he’s even seen farms that have reduced their herd to 10 and remained in business through tourism. And the trend isn’t just in American dairy states: Some smaller thirdworld countries, particularly in Eastern Europe, are trying to make the leap from an agrarian

to a tourist economy — skip ping the step of industrializa tion altogether. “I brought back what I’ve learned about agritourism to Vermont,” says Townsend. “I thought about writing a book about it, but I’ve been so busy talking to farmers that I just

According to Beth Kennett, though, the notion of tourists visiting Vermont farms is far from new. “That railroad that runs through our valley — people used to get right off on the train down there and come up and spend the night at farm houses as far back as the 1910s and 1920s,” she says. It was probably around that time, guesses Betsey Luce of Sugarbush Farms in Woodstock, that people began to lose touch with their agricul tural roots. “They used to say everyone had a grandparent who was a farmer. Now most people are about five generations removed from the farm,” says Luce. Sugarbush Farms regularly invites tourists to see their

haven’t had the time.” Some old-timers are still, understandably, a little resistant to the idea of turning urbanites loose on their farms, but Townsend is optimistic that the younger generation now taking over family farms will be more receptive.

They had been planning to hike a portion of the trail for a few days prior to Williams’ scheduled start in a paid intern ship post at the Lake Champlain Basin Program in Grand Isle. No one has been charged in connection with the double murder, v/hich may

have been an anti-lesbian ,h|te * crime. ,S Williams, a Minnesota native, had been living in Richmond, Vermont, and working at Waldenbooks in the Burlington Square Mall at the time of her death. Winans, a Mainer who had attended both Sterling College and Marlboro College in Vermont, was plan ning to move to the Burlington area to take up an internship at the Pine Ridge School in Williston. Despite the killings, women should not be afraid to hike and camp in wilderness areas, says Roberts. “If aware of ele ments of safety and outdoors skills,” assures the national organizer of Take Back the Trails, “women will be fine and should totally enjoy the experience. The threat of violence is minimal on the Long Trail, adds Lars Botzojorns, director of field programs for the Green Mountain Club. “We don’t get any reports at all of violence or even harassment,” he says. □ A fundraiser for an outdoors scholarship program for young women will be held at 135 Pearl from 7:00-10:00p.m. on May 25 in conjunction with Take Back the Trails.

Continued from page 31 Flynn in their wedding outfits and heading down to the boathouse while passing peo ple who are still lingering from the marathon.” In a way, Bikales and Butler admit, the marathon is symbolic of their relationship. After meeting as volunteers for the United Way, it took five years before they even liked each other enough to go out on a date, they claim. “A marathon more than a sprint,” Bikales says of the relationship. “Five years of training,” chimes in Butler. But Burlington’s “Marathon Wedding of the Year” doesn’t have to stop when the race is over and the guests have all gone home. EB2’s Web site will post the surprise honeymoon destina tion before the happy couple departs. This writer is betting on a little town in Greece, 26.2 miles from Athens. □ You can fin d details on the Bikales/Butler wedding at http://members,aol. com/EBmeto o/hitched.html and look for the EB2 balloons on race day. —

‘th in g sT people were, I was hooked.” After clocking in at 4:33 in London last month, Kisebach wont be competing in the Burlington race, but will con tinue to serve as “information al host” to the Cyber Sole relay team and individual full marathoners, all of whom hail from different states.

Despite the geographic dis tance between team members, and the image of long-distance runners as solitary individuals, the Web has given the mem bers of Cyber Soles a unique opportunity to make connec tions and receive support from other runners known on the Net as “virtual training part ners.” “When I first saw the num ber of responses, my curiosity was piqued,” wrote Don Young, a Cyber Sole from Cinnamonson, New Jersey, last March. “Its 2:30 a.m. and I’ve read every posting from 10/19 to 3/11, [and] now I under stand the concept of a virtual training partner.” Virtual training partners are similar to keeping a train ing log to track one’s progress, Kisebach says —- except that the log talks back. With knowledgeable and dedicated runners providing feedback, it’s easier to talk about running and bounce back from a bad day of training. “Life things come in, too,” she adds, “like

Vermont City Marathon Executive Director Andrea Riha sees Cyber Soles as a pos itive contemporary addition to the team facet o f the Burlington race. “Meeting peo ple on the Internet has gotten some bad publicity,” Riha says. “But it’s refreshing to hear that this is how some people meet, make friends and want to spend race day.”

And, among the thousands of spectators lining the streets of Burlington cheering on the nearly 650 relay teams and over 5000 runners, Cyber Soles will have at least one spe cial fan: virtual training part ner Nancy Crane. Despite breaking her foot recently while training in her home town of Houston, Texas, Crane’s coming to Burlington, just to support her friends in the real world. □ The Vermont City Marathon is Sunday, May 25. The wheel chair start is at 8 a.m.; the marathon and relay start at 8:05 a.m. The 26.2 course is all within Burlington city limits, starting at Battery Park and fin ishing at Waterfront Park. The race was voted one o f the “10 Most Scenic Marathons”by Runner’s World magazine. For information, call (800) 8808149, or 863-8412. The Internet address is: http://www. vcm. org.

By Rachel Esch i m caught in a vicious cycle: 1 ju s t started exercis in g regularly, b u t m y shins keep g ettin g really sore w ith fa s t w a lkin g or running, a n d i t ju s t m akes m e w a n t to quit. W h a t causes shin splints? Is there a n yth in g 1 can do to p re ve n t or g et over them ?

The snow has stopped and the sun is shining — sometimes, anyway — inspiring many people to pound the pavement, or a treadmill, to work off winter weight gain. But if pain in your lower legs is making you lame, you’re probably suffering from shin splints and some serious frustration. “Soreness that usually occurs while a person is doing an activity or immediately after, [and] an area that is usually sore to the touch” are both signs that you are suffering from shin splints, says Jana Hamrell, a certified athletic trainer with the Sports and Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center in Burlington. According to Gregg Horowitz, exercise physiolo gist and fitness trainer at Twin Oaks Sports and Fitness in South Burlington, shin splints refer to several conditions that cause pain anywhere between the knee and the ankle, and often result from launching into an overly ambitious exercise program after long bouts o f inactivity. “Posterior tibial tendonitis, compartment syn drome or stress fractures are the three things that usually cause pain in the lower leg,” says Horowitz, “and all three are generally due to the results of unaccustomed activity... or overuse.” In addition to overzealous exercise, Hamrell says inadequate shoes can also lead to shin splints. “Some athletes have old sneakers theyVe been running in [and] I make them buy new sneakers with more support,” says Hamrell. “Sometimes its just the way a person’s foot is put together... and just putting them in orthodics makes a difference.” Hamrell also recommends changing to a softer exer cise surface, and slowly increasing a workout regi men so as not to stress your shins. “Gradual increas es in the mileage o f your activity seems to be better than going right out and hitting the pavement,” Hamrell says. To help shin splints heal, Horowitz and Hainn^J

A R IES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Saturn slipped into Aries in April 1996 and won't depart tor good until March 1999. Many astrologers would tell you this is a cramped and challenging time of vour life when you’ll be constantly nagged to rein yourself in and take on more responsibility. Yet it’s mv dutv to point out that for the ancient Romans, Saturn’s influence was anything but baleful. As the vine-growing god who ruled over a golden age. lie was synonym ous with abundance. I he holiday in his honor, Saturnalia, was a seven-day feast o f freedom and pleasure. Businesses and schools were closed, masters served their slaves, grudges were forgotten and parties raged nonstop. So whose version of Saturn is more correct? I can t say foi sure. But just in ease it was the Romans, stay loose.

TA U R U S

(Apr. 20-M ay 20): My favorite response to arrogant astrologvdebunkers is to tell them about N ew York’s Arch Crawford. Called “Wall Street's best astrologer” by Barron’s, he uses planetary movements to help predict the ebb and flow o f the stock market. His highly successful newsletter, “The Crawford Perspectives," was ranked the number-one market timer by the Hulbert Financial Digest for the period 1991-1996. I’m m entioning this, Taurus, because you’re entering a phase when your financial luck is likely to soar. You’d be smart to try everything you can to get richer quicker, from meticulous econom ic analysis to outright magic.

G E M I N I (May 21-June 20): l believe that when you chatter carelessly about a big change that’s in the works, you drain it o f som e o f its potency. So I don’t want to trumpet or gossip about the splendor that’s on its way to you. I'll just m ention that it’s com ing, and leave m ay

you to prepare a clean, well-lit place for it to land. Here’s a hint: It could, among other things, turn a dark secret in your past into a glimmering asset.

CA N C ER (June 21 -Julv 22): In bemoaning how misinformed people are about basic scientific facts, the National Science foundation issued a report that asserted, "fewer than half [of all adults] know that Earth rotates around the sun once a year. I guffawed when I read that blooper. Any halfway literate [verson understands that while the Earth rotates on its axis, it revolves— not rotates — around the sun. Moral of the story: Even when the know-it-alls bitch about the ignorance of the innocents, they may be propagating the ignorance. Keep this in mind. Cancer, during your encounters with authorities and experts this week. In other words, trust no one. fire truth is not out there; it’s in here. (I’m pointing to your heart right now.) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In an annual survey, researchers at a human rights organization rank the intensity o f suffering around the world. The current heavyweight champions o f misery are the Rwandan people. Americans, Canadians and Australians are in the bottom 10. Inspired by this kinky effort to quantify discomforr, I’ve decided to regularly tabulate a “Pain Index” for the zodiac My first accounting shows that you Leos are currently the least anguished o f all the signs. (To prevent panic elsewhere, I’ll refrain from m entioning which sign is hurting most.) Given, then, that you’re in a period o f unprecedented grace, what great works and fabulous thrills are you

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Most o f us live our entire lives without being seen for exactly who we really are. If were lucky, a few intimate companions may now and then have a lucid vision of a fraction o f our totality. But most of the time we re surrounded by people who harbor partial and distorted images of us. O n the other hand, the next few weeks could contradict everything I just said. You may very well be mirrored and appreciated with more clarity than you ever thought possible.

L IB R A

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): It's a good week to devour more chocolate cookies, but not to eat them off silver platters served by love slaves. It’s a great time to punch an inflatable doll with a sand-weighted base and great bounceback action, but not to scream bloody curses at people who thrive on acting out their revenge fantasies. It’s a fabulous moment to dream and scheme about taking a quantum leap o f faith, but not to actually execute it yet unless you’ve first erected a sturdy safety net at the bottom o f the chasm.

S C O R P IO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re like most people, you regard “sacrifice" as a dirty word denoting deprivation. You make sacrifices because you’re forced to, or maybe because you’re feeling generous and are willing to incur a loss in order to help a loved one. But this modern sense o f the word is different from the original meaning, which was “giving up som ething valuable in order that som ething even more valuable might be obtained." T his is the definition I suggest you

SEVEN DAYS

“

when you perform a sacrifice this week. Remember, too, where the English term conies from: the Latin sacrificium, translated as “to make sacred.” In the old days, it meant sublimating one’s instincts in order to become closer to God.

S A G IT T A R IU S (Nov. 2 2 -Dec. 21): 1 will probably never set foot on a golf course as long as I live, and I hate sports metaphors. And yet I find m yself driven this week to offer you an oracle that draws its inspiration from that weird game yuppie executives play with metal clubs and little white balls on manicured grass. Sorry, but that’s what the muse ordered me to do. So here’s the deal, Sagittarius. Imagine you’ve hit your ball off the tee and it's landed behind a tree a couple hundred yards away. If you could just pick up the damn thing and move it over a mere three feet, you’d have a clear shot at the green: everything would be so easy. But I'm afraid that would be cheating. Moral o f the story: You’ve got to play your ball exactly where it lays.

C A P R IC O R N (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As 1 contemplate your week ahead, I’m reminded o f two Yiddish terms my Capricorn friend Bob Landsburg has always been fond o f using. “Schlem iel,” according to Bob, refers to som eone who spills a bowl o f soup on him self at a fancy dinner party. A “schlimazei,” on the other hand, is som eone w ho spills a bowl o f soup on the person sitting next to him at a fancy dinner party. By m y astrological calculations, you’re destined to be either a schlemiel or a schlim azd in the next week or so; there’s little you can do to avert the spilling o f the soup. W hat you might be able to do, though,

is tilt in the direction of being the schlemiel. That’ll be much better for your karmic debt.

A Q U A R IU S

(Jan. 2 0-Feb. 18): Puppies, popsicles and puppets may well play a crucial role in your spiritual evolution this week. Then again, they may not. I wish they would, though. Much depends on your willingness to get silly. To be cracked. To act loopy. That’s why I’m advising you to head down to the toy store and buy a doctor’s kit. Gobble down all the pink sugar pills, then invite a friend over who’d like to help cure you o f your terminal adulthood.

P I S C E S (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It’s high time to put a metaphorical scarecrow in your metaphorical garden, if you know what I mean. Maybe even erect a barbed wire fence and install a guardian pitbull to boot. Your goodies need protection, in other words. You’ve got to ugrade your environment to the status o f a sanctuary. 1 bough I’ve been known in the past to protest your fondness for concealment and disguise, this is one time I’d approve of an extra thick veil o f secrecy. Your work-in-progress is in too delicate a state to allow just any old interloper to trespass. □ You c a n c a ll R ob B re zs n y , d a y o r n ig h t fo r y o u r
