PRANCING NAKED DOWN
THE STREET
W h e r e w o u ld ta s y su m m e r v a c a tio n , a n d w h e r e a r e y o u a c tu a lly g o in g ?
The only country I’ve never seen: Italy. And Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
— Wayne Jones Owner, Otter Creek Bait Shop Ferrisburgh I rather like my life, but when I manage to get a weekend away, the beach in Maine.
When I was a young child, I loved the fable, “The Emperor Has No Clothes.” How could a grown up with so much power and pres tige trick him self into believing he was not naked? I do believe that the heartfelt supporters of H .502 — the socalled “reciprocal partners” bill — are prancing down the street naked. Only they and others who feel so offended by the civil-union legislation can take this pathetic legislation seriously. It is so trans parent, so artificial, so lacking in substance, so not a necessary piece of new legislation, that only they do not see how foolish they look. Let us end this hopeless session of the Vermont Legislature and put it behind us. Hopefully they all can get some rest and reflection time before the next session, so that Vermonter’s real problems can be addressed. — Nancy Cathcart Burlington DEFINITELY NOT A HUNTER’S LICENSE In the Baker decision that led to Vermont’s historic civil-unions law, the justices indicated that gay and lesbian couples were entitled to the same rights and benefits as married couples.
One of the greatest benefits married couples enjoy is a wedding — standing before family, friends and community and being pro nounced a couple by a clergy per son or a justice of the peace. This public affirmation of the couple is more important than any insur ance or inheritance benefit the state can bestow, for it binds the entire community and family as one behind the couple. When the couple experiences difficulties (which most do at one time or another), they have the support of this entire community behind them, encouraging them to work out their differences before simply dissolving the union. Civil unions gives this same benefit to those of us who are gay by requiring us to register with our town clerks and then have a ceremony to certify our unions. Representative Flory’s recipro cal partnership proposal seeks to remove this crucial element from our relationships by having us sim ply “register” our relationships with a government department. She hides her true agenda of want ing to reduce the visibility of our relationships by claiming to be giv ing additional rights to blood rela tives, but we all know that she can give blood relatives additional rights without repealing the cur rent civil-unions law. Removing
the public, ceremonial aspects tears the heart and soul from the law and equates our relationships to obtaining a hunting license or reg istering a dog. It’s time for Ms. Flory to come clean and admit that she is first and foremost attempting to water down civil unions with her bill. Give blood relatives all the rights and benefits they want and need, but don’t do it by taking the dignity from my relationship that civil unions brings to it. — Mike Backman Woodstock A GRAND OLD WASTE OF TIME In all my life I cannot remem ber a more mean-spirited cam paign than the repeal of civil unions being led by Peg Flory, Nancy Sheltra and the rest of the Republican beer cans. They claim reciprocal benefits is the solution to the civil-union debate, but in reality I have learned that this is one step in the hopes of outright repeal of the bill. Aside from not getting anything of significance accomplished this legislative ses sion, taxpayers are footing the bill for a grand old waste of time. Nancy Sheltra, Peg Flory and oth ers in that group should be ashamed of themselves for their lack of achievements this session.
— Hank Bissell Owner, Lewis Creek Farm Starksboro Summer’s so short
Apparently these people do not understand that repeal of the bill will not only bring the case back to the Supreme Court, but will also bring those who have been civil unioned to the courts as well. I have waited a long time to cele brate the love and relationship I share with my partner, and have no intention of sitting back and being robbed of it. So, if Sheltra and Flory want to invoke a classaction lawsuit with a hundred or more civil-unioned couples, let them continue on their current path. Bringing suit against the repeal will also cost the taxpayers wasted dollars. — John Castaldo Waterbury Center Letters Policy: S E V E N D A Y S w a nts y ou r rants and raves, in 2 5 0 w o rd s or le ss Letters are on ly a cce p te d that re sp o n d to content in S E V E N D A Y S.

Sex, H orses and Yellow R o se of Texas? It happened late Friday afternoon. Most Vermonters were already out of work and on the way home for a great spring weekend. But under Montpeculiar’s golden dome, Senate President Pro Tern Peter Shumlin was keeping his students work ing late. With Gov. Howard Dean out-of-state at an undisclosed location (more on that later), Lt. Gov. Doug Racine was Vermont’s acting governor. That meant he had to turn over the Senate gavel to Shumlin, since the governor cannot preside over the Senate. House members had left for home hours ago, and the dinner hour was fast approaching. As is the culture of the Legislature, the handwritten notes were flying like bullets.
interesting, eh? So far Jeezum Jim appears to be handling the attention quite smartly. He’s letting his press secre tary EriK Smulson do all the talking. That way there’s no need for a translator. St. Patrick Update — In grand style, Vermont’s senior senator, Democrat Patrick J. Leahy, is also back in the spotlight. St. Patrick’s been leading the fight in Judiciary against slimebag Ted Olson’s appointment as U.S. Solicitor General. This week, Newsweek gives Leahy an upward arrow in the “Conventional Wisdom” column. “Dem Sen. musters votes to delay Olson nomination. Finally, some don key with spine.”

Larry Feldman, the woman’s attorney, said his client decided not to get the operation reversed because “she’s lost faith in the medical profession.” • The British army paid for four female soldiers to have breastenhancement surgery to make them “happier,” according to the Ministry of Defense.

Their study, published in the British Journal o f Cancer, studied the eating habits of 4000 healthy people and 1000 lung cancer sufferers. “Japanese people love their fresh fish, par ticularly sushi,” Professor Toshiro Takezaki said. “We think that is why, even though the Japanese smoke as much as people in the United Kingdom, their rate of lung cancer is only two-thirds as high.”

Organ Donors While on probation for a drug-possession conviction, Donald C. Milligan Jr., 36, tried to fool drug testers by modifying a sex toy to deliver urine supplied by a friend. He inserted a tube into the fake penis connected to a glue bottle filled with his friend’s urine, put makeup on the toy to match his own skin color, then reported to the testing center and pretended to urinate. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported “the plastic prosthetic didn’t fool

Biblical Nut Case Biblical strongman Samson suffered from the earliest recorded case of antisocial personality dis order, according to researchers at the University of California at San Diego. Reporting in the Archives o f General Psychiatry, they said Samson showed signs of at least six of the seven behaviors associated with the disorder: rou tinely getting into fights; showing no remorse by killing 1000 Philistines, then gloating over it; being deceitful, such as by not telling his parents that he got honey from the carcass of a lion; behaving badly as a child by set ting things on fire, torturing ani mals, stealing and bullying other children; acting impulsively by burning Philistine fields; and showing reckless disregard for his own safety by telling Delilah, a woman who had already tried to kill him three times, the secret of his strength.
Cherchez La Femme Retired security guard Harry Rabin, 77, admitted holding up three Chicago area banks but explained he needed the money to pay for dates. Noting his girl friend, who is two years older, has more money than he does, and that her son is a millionaire, Rabin said he feared he would lose her if he didn’t have enough money to match her lifestyle. He was sentenced to three years in federal prison. (Z)

Yolanda is southbound at the end of this week to pursue a musical career in New York City, with her “Plastic Family” band. Come fall, Tartt, a.k.a. Steven West, is heading for Houston, where he will move in with the real thing: his brother, sister-in-law and their 2-year-old daughter. “They need a drag queen in Texas,” says Tartt, explaining his unexpected adoption of Bush Country. “Maybe I’m going down there to set them straight, so to speak.” The duo will be back in June for pride festivities, and their bawdy public-access television show, “The Cherie & Yolanda Show,” runs all summer.

FINCH IN A PINCH: “They’re dealing with racism on the stage, but
they don’t want to deal with racism in the community.” That’s the accusation leveled at Lost Nation Theater by an African-American actress who was Fired from the cast of To Kill a Mockingbird. The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus carried the story last Thursday about the eleventh-hour dismissal of Paij W adley-Bailey and her subsequent picketing of performances at Montpelier City Hall. “A dispute drip ping with irony,” the writer noted — not only because the Harper Lee classic deals with racial discrimination but because Lost Nation directors Kim Bent and Kathleen Keenan are staunchly progressive. Bent claims Wadley-Bailey had not only failed to learn her lines, but missed a crucial rehearsal. At the last moment, he recruited a black actress from Boston to take over her role — a move that further incensed Wadley-Bailey, who was informed of the decision by answer ing machine. She is quoted in the Times Argus saying “They were just using my ass as an understudy, warming people up until she could get here.” Her friend and fellow protester Marsha Burnett has since sub mitted a letter to the editor pointing out more evidence of what she calls “institutional racist behavior” on the part of Lost Nation: no black cast members in the publicity photo.

from the city of Burlington. Along with information about demo graphics, retail opportunities and electric rates, the brochure devotes an entire page to arts and culture. Burlington City Arts gets a full third of the ink, however, with a select group of major cultural insti tutions — the Flynn Center, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Shelburne Museum, Frog Hollow, Ethan Allen Homestead and Fletcher Free Library — sharing the remaining space . . . Flynn founder and executive director Andrea Rogers took the opposite approach last Thursday night at the Radisson Hotel. She gave her staff full credit for an award acknowledging the positive impact of the recent expansion and renovation of the downtown Art Deco theater. Unfortunately, The Burlington Free Press also downplayed her role as honored guest at the annual Burlington Business Association event. Next day the daily ran a photo of Pomeroy Hall — winner of another award — instead of Rogers, who was also instrumental in “saving” the Fletcher Free Library and the Firehouse Gallery . . . There’ll be plenty of culturati candidates for a forthcoming talk show on Vermont Public Television. Come fall, the station is launching a weekly interview program focused primarily on arts and culture. “Think Charlie Rose, in the sense that we would aspire to that level of intimacy,” says community relations director Ann Curran. The most recent effort along these lines — with Jeff Kaufman — tanked after a year and a half. No word yet on a host or a title . . . The Lake Placid Film Forum wants to be taken seriously. It’s posing a weighty question this year, anyway, that serves as a unifying theme: “Do Filmmakers Have Social Responsibility?” Novelist movie writers like John Irving, Russell Banks and Francine Prose will be on hand to dis cuss issues of sex and violence in cinema, and the responsibility of the writers who set the scenes. It’s the perfect venue for Vermont Film maker BeSS O’Brien, who will screen Where’s Stephanie?— about the aftermath of the rape and murder of 17-year-old Stephanie Sady of Rutland. Last year the local focus was on O ’Brien’s husband, Jay Craven . . . Jerry Trudeau goes for the big picture, as evidenced by his recent aerial-photography installation at the Firehouse Gallery in Burlington. His high-altitude shots capture the majesty of the natural Vermont landscape, but also work as artistic abstractions. These days the photographer-pilot is flying over the Northeast Kingdom, snap ping pics for a show at the Compost Arts Center in Hardwick. Trudeau is zeroing in on the delicacy of early spring foliage. “In the summer it looks like one big carpet. In the spring, each tree stands out,” he says. “That’s what I am trying to capture.” ®

“Re/Collections” will display objects in small groups of physi cally or conceptually similar objects in the Wilbur Rooms vitrines. Moreover, it will examine — with a sense of fascination and a measure of wit — the col lecting practices and policies in the early days of the Fleming. “The line between curator and artist is really blurred here,” Spengemann suggests. “There’s an element of social commentary, of making choices with found
interesting stories behind them. By picking things out that you personally relate to, other people will like them, too.” The curators devised a check list of more than a dozen cate gories for the items in their exhibit. Some are straightforward — “Metals with and without patinas,” “Objects made from animal parts.” Others are less self-evident: “Tangled things,” “Flocked objects,” and the partic ularly engaging, “Relics and
And for a grouping called “Flocked Family of Unidentifiable Mammals,” Ford offers this: Specifically, a Koala, and two unidentified mammals. For the lat ter two, "Feline”is the adjective that comes to mind, and yet, there is a striking similarity to both the dingo and the hyena, which serves to disconcert would-be taxonomists, leaving us ju st a bit short o f any biological certainty o f the identity o f these blurry representations o f

avid Ford has a deep affec tion for “found” objects. That, along with a near scholarly knowledge of their his torical context, recommended him to Cohen as a collaborator. As they selected items for “Re/Collections,” one item in the Fleming’s collection tickled Ford’s fancy: a 1796 wooden bathtub that once belonged to Vermonter Elias Lyman III.

Invited by Cohen to write text for the “Re/Collections” exhibit, Ford got to do one of the things he loves best. As amply illustrated in the variety of mini publications and exhibit descrip tions at the Main Street Museum, his writing pairs a sly humor with an impressive breadth of sources, from George Orwell to Jell-O Biafra to Archimedes. Here is an excerpt from the category label, “Formal and Surface Synchrony; Interesting Forms”:
Northern Cardinal, Head, from the Main Street Museum marvels at Lyman’s ingenuity, hand-hewing the bathtub from pine on the premises and provid ing it with running water from a spring across the W hite River. “It went to San Francisco and back; there’s a whole story behind it,” Ford enthuses. And it’s the kind of tale he loves to tell. “Janie and Pascal did the same thing,” he explains, “adding things of personal relevance, with

animalforms. They are tantalizingly familiar. They have been described as “lumpy. ” “Re/Collections” will display objects that have not been shown to the public since the 1930s, if ever — and which may well return to storage-room shelves to gather dust for decades more. While they are out, the objects will speak to a broad swath of Vermont history as well as to the virtues of special collections. In his lecture next week, Ford will talk about the small muse ums of Vermont and northern New England — including those exhibits not really considered museums, but hidden away in libraries, town halls or in private quarters. In Hartland, for exam ple, the Vermont Nature Club has the most carefully preserved and beautiful butterflies and pressed fern fronds in the state, Ford notes, tucked away in draw ers and glass cases in Damon Hall. In Montpelier, the Vermont Historical Society still greets visi tors with a stuffed catamount. These exhibits are of the type, he says, that have informed us for centuries. “You had relics exhibit ed in churches in the 12th centu ry; this idea that you display things that have meaning has been going on forever.” “Re/Collections” illustrates “similar impulses around the world,” Cohen says — from kid gloves to a baboon-knuckle neck lace. “It’s part of human nature.”
pre-20th century curation meth ods,” Ford notes. “How com pletely we are lost in strange waters can only be really felt from standing at the balcony of the Fairbanks Museum and star ing down at the pink flamingo display, or the hundreds of hum mingbirds in artificial trees, or the text accompanying some of the artifacts there that reads, Very old.’” Ford is further entwined in Vermont history: His beloved late grandmother, S. Elizabeth Gillingham, was the daughterin-law of F.H. Gillingham, who founded the downtown grocery that remains in the center ol Woodstock to this day. Its cur rent owners, Jireh and Frank Billings, are his first cousins. Though he grew up in Boston — his father was a book designer for Harvard, his mother a voracious reader and “a good influence on a kid” — Ford waxes reverential on frequent childhood visits to his grand mother. “It was fantastic; the sto ries, the place names, the amaz ing stuff I got out of my grand mother — her uncles were in the Civil War! She passed on the ver bal histories, and that’s what got me interested in Vermont.” Ford, now 35, says he always felt most at home in the Green Mountain State. As an adult, he returned to live here, but not before a stint at Connecticut College majoring in art and art history — he passed up the degree for driving a cab in or a guy with two famous Boston for five or so years. “I names, David Fairbanks Ford loved that!” he declares. He then denies any great familias.

ation,” says Tunbridge designer/builder and artist Alisa Dworsky, who with her husband Danny Sagan was among the local cognoscenti Ford attracted. “There was an integration between the museum and his life. It was David’s over-the-top, 19th-century, layered, found aes thetic,” she continues. “Chaotic but intentional, disparate but coherent. You knew you were walking into an unusual place, someone’s creation.” Shows in those early years included photography from Jack Rowell and Ford’s brother, who goes by the colorful name of Slugo Manashevitz Gagarin; and a “pet” show featuring animal paintings and a remarkable Last Supper on a synthetic fiber pet mat. The museum’s holdings grew around such concepts as “Modern Art Created By Accident” — e.g., twin Ballantine beer cans mounted on wood “a la Jasper Johns” — and intentional juxtapositions. “My all-time favorite,” notes Dworsky, “is the bottle of blue windshield fluid and the blue drink” — these gallon jugs paired and illu minated from behind to empha size their similarities. For his part, Ford is quite fond o f the Phineas Gage memo rabilia, because, of course, there’s a story behind it. The bottle of salve was allegedly used in heal ing the wounds of Cavendish railroad foreman Gage, who landed in medical history books for the freak accident which shot a tamping rod into his skull but did not kill him. ; The curator alsp likes to point out the “sea monster” — really an amalgam o f bones found in the Connecticut River and posit ed as an erstwhile piscine creature related to Champ — and his “Bee Movie,” featuring, yes, an actual bumblebee.

O ’Brien and Norah Jacobson, artists Bill Wheelock and Lisa Kippen, and New Yorker car toonist Ed Koren, who donated one of his signature furry illus trations to the museum. But the social ripples extend ed beyond those with artist cred: Ford’s notorious inclusiveness welcomed everyone from the local Legionnaires to children — people still talk about the lively puppet shows — to an avantgarde music group that held con certs in the cozy quarters. Ford is “extremely generous and warm-hearted to everyone,” exclaims Kippen, who, like her friend Alisa Dworsky, had a show at the Main Street Museum. She became a member of the board of trustees. “There was some kind of notion that the world could do its worst, but we were fine,” Kippen says. “That was the original spirit of the museum.” And Ford, she adds, “was funny as hell and wrote great press releases.”
Not sirprisingly, the museum was a hit with local journalists, too, who surely relished the opportunity to cover such unusual goings-on in the Upper Valley. Word leaked out to northern Vermont artists, like Burlington’s Maea Brandt, who showed her “Fetish Clothing” there in 1998, and art scenesters like collector Mark Waskow. Kippen was disappointed when MSM had to move to its storefront location in Hartford in 1997, and sadder still when it went into temporary dormancy two years later. “David’s way of seeing and organizing what he sees is really wonderful,” she says. “But of course he doesn’t make any money at it.” It might help if he raised his rates. An annual membership in the Main Street Museum is a modest $4.95, and the merch in the miniscule “gift shoppe” does n’t bring in what it should, . though one wonders why with offerings like these: bottles of “Memphis Holy Water,” Pickled Eggs in Tar, Canned Mink, Shredded Paper in a Jar, and the charming cast figurine called a “Virgisaurus — a Madonna with the head of dinosaur.” The last is an invention of Ford’s brother and comes in “six designer colors that would make Martha Stewart weep.” Clearly, these efforts have not been sufficient to float the Main Street Museum. “We have only 150 members and have given up ever having any more than this,” Ford concedes. In an Electric Organ published last summer, he issued a plea for fundraising help: “W ithout a more active board, we will always be dys functional,” he wrote. “Or, per haps we will always be dysfunc tional, and a board will simply make us dysfunctional and sol vent. In any case we wish to be — more open.” Ford and his many moral supporters are happy that the MSM will, in fact, be reopening, albeit split in two. One location will be in a W hite River Junction building that was the former home of the Tip Top Bakery. Dworsky and Sagan are helping to transform the site into artist studios, professional offices and a restaurant. A 10-foot-square space adjacent to the latter was donated by the restaurateur for a Main Street Museum installa tion. It’s a modest start, but a new start nonetheless, scheduled for a November opening. And next month, Ford promises^the current quarters in his Hartford mill will expand to a second room and be open to the public as well. Meanwhile, Ford occupies his time with odd jobs, art-making, collecting — and curating. “The Fleming exhibit is a good use of his talents,” asserts Dworsky. “Curating is one of his great art forms.” If the collections of the once and future Main Street Museum are any gauge, the Fleming’s “Re/Collections” should be in fused with inventive synchronicities and an abiding affection for the long, strange trip we’re all on.

may 23, 2001
arl Marx’s world was a stark and brutal place. Rapacious capitalists sought to wring every milliliter of surplus value out of their workers while plundering the planet and waging wars of aggression for control of markets and resources. Marx’s vision, at once both dark and inspiring, exerted an enormous influence on world history and individual lives for more than a century. And Marxism resonates in some minds still, though the ideology is now just a faint echo of the big boom that once shook societies everywhere. Turns out, among other flaws in this belief system, that labor and capital are not as inexorably
K
antagonistic as the German philosopher had argued. Such, at least, is the possibility posed by “socially responsible businesses” that strive to do well and to do good at the same time. While making no apologies for their adherence to the profit motive, these companies try to treat their employees generously, to play an activist role in their local communities, and to ensure that in their pursuit of riches they cause no environmental damage. Vermont, of course, is at the forefront of the movement for a cuddlier form of capitalism. Next week, a statewide association of companies committed to the cause celebrates its 10th anniver sary with a schmooze-fest at the Radisson Hotel in Burlington. Vermont Businesses for Social
Responsibility has grown signifi cantly in size and clout over the past decade. Originally a group ing of 35 like-minded firms, it now counts 300 dues-paying members — including one of the state’s biggest employers, Fletcher Allen Health Care. When VBSR speaks, most Vermont politicians stop to lis ten, although the organization still does not command the same attention as the state Chamber of Commerce, which represents roughly five times more Vermont employees. VBSR was launched precisely in order to give a collective voice to businesses that presented themselves as more than profit making mechanisms. Its founders acknowledge that American com panies with a social conscience existed long before 1991, but
there’s no doubt that the coming-ta-sgower of the 1960s gener ation greatly increased the ranks o f corporate do-gooders. Most VBSR members proba bly share the analysis articulated by Laura Peterson, the groups program manager. A year ago, she quit her job as Vermont bureau chief for W PTZ news, with the aim of directing her labor toward more socially useful ends. “I am contributing to the greatest force for social change — business. It used to be reli gion, then it was government, and now its business,” Peterson says of the institutions that have shaped society. “If you accept that capitalism is not going to go away in America, then I say let’s work to make it serve the com mon good.” VBSR isn’t only about altru ism, however. Most businesses join at least partly for self-inter ested reasons, seeing opportuni ties for making potentially prof itable contacts. “Networking and a belief in its principles” are the factors cited by Cynthia Gubb in explaining why Chittenden Bank signed on. “Some of our business customers are also VBSR mem bers,” notes Gubb, the bank’s community development direc tor. Associating one’s company with VBSR is, in other words, a way of 1 seeing and being seen within a cer tain circle. W ith $1 . billion in combined 1 annual sales, the I association’s mem*7 bers are not ■ingenues when it comes to doing deals. As with any trade group, VBSR is also imbued with a spirit of cama raderie. “Our whole approach is based on having businesses learn from one another,” says association director Jane Campbell. “We give access to the kind of informa tion you don’t get from textbooks.” By learning about successful marketing tech niques as well as about the latest in recycling technologies, VBSR members are able to tap more deeply into what Campbell describes as “an American sub culture of consumers for whom the social responsibility o f a busi ness is important in making pur chasing decisions.” And this “emerging demographic” is only going to become more promi nent in coming years, Campbell adds. She points to today’s school-age generation, which is being taught the importance of saving whales and rainforests. As it enters its second decade, VBSR must strive to broaden its base while remaining true to its beliefs, suggests Dave Barash,
chief operating officer for Organic Chocolate Products. “Building a critical mass can only help,” says Barash, who telecommutes from Stowe to his company’s headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “We need to be open to all comers, but it’s incumbent on VBSR to keep pushing the issues on which we’re aligned. As long as the organization doesn’t allow itself to become conservative, there’s no downside to being inclusive.” Barash is probably the most widely experienced executive in the realm of progressive Vermont enterprises. He worked for founding member Ben & Jerry’s as head of its social ventures divi sion, and subsequently played similar roles for Autumn Harp and Burton Snowboards before joining the company that sup plies the Paul Newman brand with most of its organic choco late. “To some extent,” Barash continues, “the companies that will choose to associate them selves with VBSR are self-limit ing. Those that only want to cloak themselves in the group’s halo are the same ones that will be uncomfortable about taking stands on Hydro-Quebec or civil unions.” VBSR has lost at least one member due to its advocacy on

Gallagher, Flynn & Co., a Burlington accounting firm, quit a few years ago because of unhappiness with the associa tion’s position in support of the Act 60 education funding reform law. “It actually wasn’t so much that Gallagher, Flynn disagreed with VBSR’s stance,” explains a company official, “as it was that VBSR took its stance without sufficiently consulting its mem bers.” Bygones are, in any event, bygones.

In addition to disseminating its message more widely, VBSR needs to continue shaping the public policy discussion, director Campbell says. The group has focused recently on the “livable wage” campaign, which was thrust into the national news via a Harvard student sit-in on behalf of the university’s poorly paid maintenance staff, “VBSR still has the capacity to startle the uniniti ated,” Campbell notes, citing mainstream reaction to a business group that demands a sizable increase in the minimum wage.
it. And the director of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce acknowledges that VBSR did ^ play a role in enactment of the law guaranteeing that workers who take time off to care for a newborn or an ill partner will have a job to return to. “That legislation probably was going to happen anyway,” says Chris Barbieri, “but they definite ly helped get it there.” The Chamber chief is more expansive in assessing VBSR s contribution to the creation of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund. During its first three years, the fund has sup ported 55 projects around the state with $600,000 in seed money. “The Sustainable Jobs

California’s woes have gotten VBSR mem bers talking about how best to help Vermont avoid rolling blackouts. An economic downturn? “VBSR was first established in the middle of a recession, arguably one that was worse than the one that is predicted to be coming,” says Campbell. “By now businesses have caught on that being socially responsible is not a luxury. It’s cost effective in the long term, and our members are interested in the long term. They want to be sustainable.” Passage of the state’s Family Leave Act is among the past achievements for which the group claims at least partial credpage 1 4 a

Fund is their doing — no ques tion,” Barbieri says. The spokesman for tradition al businesses in Vermont rates the association of New Age com panies as moderately effective, overall. “They’ve clearly brought more choices to the table,” Barbieri says of VBSR. “But the landscape would not be very dif ferent in terms of social issues without them.” A few Chamber members resent the implications of VBSR’s title, Barbieri acknowledges. “Some companies do feel that if you’re not a member of that group, they consider you socially irresponsible.” And that’s a bogus attitude, he continues. “The vast majority of Vermont businesses are social-
ly responsible. They’re operating , in Vermont for a reason, whether theyjbelong to VBSR or not. It’s not as though a boss thinks about society only when he or she walks out of the office.” VBSR makes no claim of moral superiority, Campbell counters. “We’re not sitting in judgment and saying, ‘You’re a good company, and you’re not.’ We try instead to learn from one another and from others.” The group may have a some what inflated view of its political significance, however. “Before we started,” Campbell claims, “the debate in Vermont was about having either jobs or a clean environment. There was a belief that Act 250 held back eco nomic development.” Despite its sense of selfimportance, VBSR is not a par ticularly well-heeled organiza tion. With annual dues of $150 for smaller members and $350 for larger ones, it can’t afford to employ a full-time lobbyist in Montpelier, and instead often relies on executives of member firms to speak on behalf of the association at public hearings and in private discussions with legislators. “The organization has want ed to make sure there isn’t always one shining star,” notes Judi Danforth, co-owner of Danforth Pewterers in Middlebury. “It’s absolutely not the Ben Cohen Show,” she says in response to a suggestion that VBSR may be viewed as a pet project of the Ben & Jerry’s co-founder. Cohen is, however, the fea tured speaker at the group’s anniversary conference June 1. He’ll be discussing business’ “restorative” role, arguing that corporations can affirmatively affect the U.S. social condition, not merely mitigate the harm they do. Like some other firms found ed on progressive principles, Ben & Jerry’s-is not the same compa ny it once was. The ice-cream maker’s takeover by Unilever, one of the world’s biggest con glomerates, raises questions about the impact of buyouts on formerly independent-minded businesses. To Barash, corporate empire building presents opportunities rather than obstacles for social engagement. The merger trend just increases the necessity of points of view similar to VBSR’s, the chocolatier argues. The expectations inculcated among consumers partly through the efforts of socially responsible business groups can affect the behavior of even behemoths such as Unilever, Barash insists. “Consumers are increasingly informed and intelligent in their choices of who they do business with,” he says. Paradoxically, perhaps, Barash also believes that American busi ness in general is no more social ly responsible than in the preVBSR era. Progress has occurred at the margins more than in the mainstream, he says. Could it be, then, that Marx had it right after all — that capi talism can never truly be a force for justice and peace? The mem bers of VBSR, at least, hope it isn’t so. ®

Burning the Flag There’s a right way and a wrong way to do just about everything, and the Morrisville VFW will be demonstrating the right way to dispose of a worn-out flag. A couple hundred of them, actually. Since word got out about the formal flag-disposal ceremony, tat tered flags have been pouring in from all over New England. Organizer Gary Rushford observes, “I think this points out that there are an awful lot of flags out there that people don’t know how to get rid of.” The ceremony will be held at dusk on — what else? — Flag Day, June 14. There will be a formal presentation on flag etiquette, a recitation of the flag’s history, and then the flags to be retired will be cer emoniously dipped in kerosene and lit. Well, at least of cou ple of them will be — burning all of them would be hot and tricky.

Write Stuff Margo Macero of Castleton is a contender in the; National Handwriting Contest, emerging from a field of 104,250 entries nationwide. Margo, a third-grader at Castleton Elementary, is currently the state champi on. Seven national champions will be selected next, and each will receive a $500 savings bond, a plaque and — you guessed it — a swanky pen. This will look good on her resume if she applies for med school in, say, 2015. Plus, it would be nice to have one doctor out there with good penmanship. — Mountain Times, May 17

Jason Letourneau of Derby was recently charged with aggravat ed sexual assault on a child, and during the investigation he appar ently ventured the opinion that the victim had perhaps been hyp notized and was now naming him as a sexual predator as part of a conspiratorial post-hypnotic suggestion. It’s an unusual theory, but it seems that once he started talking theoretically he didn’t know how to stop. He also told police that he had actually done nothing wrong, that he hated “gays, lesbians and queers,” and that he had never masturbated. He even tually pleaded no contest to the charges, perhaps sens ing his credibility had been compromised, and his four-year deferred sentence came with 22 special con ditions. Let’s hope one of them was prevarication counseling. — Barton Chronicle, May 16

Rural Rivalry Another ritual unfolded on a recent warm and glo rious day in Barton: Teams of high school students congregated for the annual Field and Forest Days, an event that has come to be called — affectionately, we think — as the Redneck Olympics. Highlights include penny piercing, egg tossing, log rolling, fire building, bale throwing and no end of chopping and sawing. In one event, contestants split a tiny wooden match with a great big axe. By the time it was all over and the chain saws had cooled, huge quantities of lumber had been reduced to dust and kindling, and Hazen Union High School in Hardwick had carried off the gold. — Barton Chronicle, May 16
Wild Kingdom The relative peace of Bristol was disrupted recently by the presence of a beaver wandering down West Street. When police arrived at the scene, they found a crowd of people surrounding the animal and, when one of these idlers tried to move the beast along, the beaver tried to bite him. Then, as the animal was being lured into a cage, five dogs in a neighboring res idence decided to get involved and broke through a Plexiglas window and ran into the crowd, snarling and nipping. Two people were bitten. With the beaver now secure, dog officers tried unsuccessfully to snare the dogs with collar poles; these particular dogs were experienced with the equip ment, having been captured by the constabulary at least once before. After further uproar, a relative of the dogs’ owner eventually showed up and caught the excited canines, and a neighbor fetched enough build

Shit Happens A Morrisville man apparently left three dogs and as many as 10 cats locked up in a camp over the win ter after he was evicted from the property for nonpay ment. Francis Warner did return every now and again to feed the animals, but not often enough; worse, he forgot the part about cleaning up the mess. When local officials arrived at the property, the bad smell assaulted them before they opened the door. When they did summon courage to open the door, they found pretty much what you would expect: dog and cat doo, big-time, and a lot of Dunkin Donuts wrap pers. The place was also littered with empty cans of dog and cat food. The severely malnourished animals have been placed in shelters and with veterinarians, and Warner has been charged with animal cruelty and abandon ment. But it’s the landlord who’s taking it on the chin: “It’s everyone’s opinion,” his son said, “that because of the length of time, the urine and feces have probably penetrated the wood of the camp and can’t be cleaned.” He’s put in a call to the fire department to see if they would consider torching it as a training exercise. — Stowe Reporter, May 10

SEVEN DAYS
may 22, 2001
’ve become so impressed by our current Presidents poise in avoiding most actual speak ing and all direct questioning that yesterday, to emulate him, I too quit drinking and accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Personal Savior. This required an additional conversion to con servatism, as oudined in Chapter 1 of the BornAgain Christian Conversion Manual. But I didn’t have any ethical problem with that, because I dis covered in Chapter 2, titled “Major Advantages Over Every Other Form of Worship,” that I really don’t have to be too concerned with ethics in order to find Salvation. All I have to do is accept Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Personal Savior. This is a pretty sweet arrangement, far superior to my previous faith, Roman Catholicism, which called for things like good deeds and placed stringent demands on my conduct. Catholicism required me, among other things, to make a 10- to 15-minute visit to the confessional every single time I had impure thoughts. As I live in a college town where navel rings tend to peek out in warm weather, this was simply unreasonable. It gets better. In Chapter 3, titled “Everyone Else Is Going to Burn,” I learned that anyone who has not accepted Jesus Christ into his or her heart is going straight to Hell. This just made my day, since it surely includes a lot of people who treated me badly in high school. It would be a pretty raw deal to cruise into Heaven when I die, only to be given an atomic wedgie by some jocks at the orientation. As a newly converted conservative, and with Attorney General Ashcroft’s Bible-study breakfast as a model, I have now decided to organize a weekly prayer session of my own. Everyone will be wel come, of course, because I intend to be a compas sionate conservative. So I hope all of you will join me in this completely voluntary and inclusive prayer session. Those of you who have different faiths, feel free to replace “Lord” and “Jesus” with “Allah,” “Yahweh,” “Great Spirit,” “Goddess” or whatever. But be advised that you will be going straight to Hell if you do. Let us now us bow our heads and pray conserv atively: Lord, we thank Thee for all this breakfast sausage, eggs and whole milk we have before us, which contain the nutrients and additives we need to build strong muscles, bones and teeth, and to harden our arteries, develop sour breath and lac tose-intolerance. We thank Thee also for all the chemical flavoring agents, unspecified fillers and various preservatives that make this genetically engineered bounty taste so delicious. Lord, we thank Thee for intervening and allow ing President Cheney, I mean, President Bush to win the election last year through Your divine part nership with Ralph Nader. And we also pray that Mr. Cheney not personally partake of any breakfast sausage on this glorious morning, for his arteries are already hard, and for we worry what could happen should he keel over and leave the President unsupervised for more than 10 minutes. Lord, we thank Thee for blessing President Chen — I mean, President Bush with the wisdom

to blow off the Kyoto Accord, for it is crucial to the stability of this New World Order that we maintain our status as the most wealthy, influential, power ful, arrogant and wasteful nation the world has ever known. And also because, without the greenhouse gases the people of this great country so diligently produce by driving their sport utility vehicles to and from their mailboxes, it is quite possible the atmosphere might eventually recover. We would not want to be responsible for closing the ozone hole through which we receive Thy divine messages and benevolent gift of ultraviolet rays — the same rays that bless us with crispy, George ^ Hamilton-like tans and allow our skin to age as gracefully as shoe leather. Lord, we thank Thee also for the extra carbon dioxide that will now be available as propel lant for our paintball guns. And speaking of guns, Lord, we thank Thee for delivering unto us Charlton Heston, and we pray that he be finally delivered from the illness that has caused him to clench his teeth ever since he first realized, during the filming of The Ten Commandments, that he really is a prophet, and without whose divine NRA leadership we would almost certainly be denied the freedom to carry concealed handguns into shopping malls, school zones and amusement parks. We also seek Thy help in overturning all waiting periods, background checks and, especially, the ban on assault rifles and hollow-point ammunition, without which we are powerless to defend ourselves against those preteen punks who smash our pump kins on Halloween, and who write “Wash Me” with their fingers on our dirty Ford Explorers. Lord, deliver unto us gas for less than a dollar a gallon again, so that we may solve our energy crisis by using more of it, and so that we may build still larger SUVs with more powerful engines. For with these vehicles we shall crush Thy tree-hugging, Honda-driving enemies beneath our wheels and not even feel it. Arjd God bless the caribou, Lord, for as long as a few of them are still around we shall always know where to drill for oil. And while we wait for the new arctic drilling rigs to be built, grant us the serenity to weather the hardships we face during this energy crisis, such as having to turn our air conditioning all the way up to 70, and to turn off the large-screen TVs we normally leave on all day for our pets. For my dog Ellie is a big fan of “Bonanza”, especially the guy who plays Hoss. Lord, we thank Thee for sending us Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, that we may have a diverse administration, even if we still have a little difficulty pronouncing their first names. We pray especially that Secretary Powell, who doth appear to have a litde too much integrity, not resign in disgust when he groweth tired of repeated ly extracting the Presidents foot from his mouth. Hold on, I lost my place... Here we go. And so it is, Oh, Prince of Darkness, Devourer of Souls, that I summon Thee to the center of this Pentagon I have drawn in blood on the — wait a minute, that’s not right. Oops, wrong prayer. I’m still working on that one. What I meant to say was, amen. ®

By Ruth Horowitz hen he was 30 years old, Reverend Gary Kowalski, a minister at Burlington’s Unitarian Universalist church, received a new lease on life in the form of » a transplanted kidney. Ironically, the procedure that extended his life also left him almost com pletely infertile. The prospect of being denied biological offspring was devastating. But solace came from an unexpected source: a deepening appreciation of the emotional similarities between humans and animals. This awareness brought Kowalski a sense of kinship with all living beings, enabling him to accept adoption as the appro priate alternative to genetic pro creation. Because he realized that he was already part o f a much larger family comprising all living creatures, he writes, “I no longer had to grieve over my inability to start a family.” Kowalski tells this story in The Bible According to Noah: Theology as i f Animals Mattered\ a collection of essays examining well-known Bible stories through the lens of animal advo cacy. In Kowalski’s first book, The Souls o f Animals, he argued that non-hum an species experi ence feelings generally presumed to be exclusively human. Goodbye Friend, a book written after the death o f his long-time canine companion, addressed the trauma o f losing a pet. In his most recent offering, the minister remains within his

established niche, but comes closest to preaching what he practices. Each chapter begins with a passage from the Bible, proceeds with a discussion and closes with a re-writing of the original passage — what the rabbis call a midrash. In Kowalski’s version, the seven-day creation account celebrates humanity’s inter-connectedness with other species. The Biblical figure of Noah becomes a pio neer of environmental conserva tion. The story of the binding of Isaac sounds a warning about the insidious dangers of animal experimentation. The Book of Job gives testament to the restorative powers of nature. And Jonah’s whale offers inspira tion about cross-species coopera tion. Kowalski faces a dual chal lenge. On the one hand, he wants to convince folks who take their Bible as God’s truth that the “neighbor” in “love your neighbor” isn’t limited to Homo sapiens. On the other hand, he needs to persuade ani mal activists that despite all its archaic, politically incorrect and downright distasteful content, many parts of the Greatest Story Ever Told'are actually still worth telling. Kowalski takes on the second challenge first. Rather than read ing the Bible as the literal word of God, monolithic and im m ut able, he considers Scripture “a vessel designed to carry a cul ture’s accumulated wisdom across the sea o f time.” Though he readily admits that lots of
objectionable actions have been taken in the name of religion, he suggests reclaiming the Bible’s positive influences and revising “what has become outdated and dysfunctional.” Kowalski bolsters his argu ments for a more inclusive atti tude towards living things with evidence from psychology, natu ral history, linguistics, cultural history and first-hand experi ence. He spoons up tasty » morsels of animal behavior and pours personal passion into his descriptions of nature. In these passages, the prose is a particular pleasure to read, whether he’s conjuring the “butterscotch tex ture” of light “sticking to sur faces and making them shine,” or comparing the sound of sere nading catfish to “a percolating coffee pot.” Discussing the mythic loss of Eden, Kowalski reminds us that ever since Eve’s encounter with the apple, “animals are no longer seen as peers or partners. Instead they have become appetizers and apparel.” His description of gib bons singing — making sounds so mysteriously musical that they “move the traveler to tears” — is enough to make you want to run out and buy these Monkees’ album. The substance o f Kowalski’s Bible is a serious discussion of the roots and ramifications of anthropocentrism and human cruelty, and the spiritual rewards of trans-species understanding. According to Kowalski, it was the Greeks who pulled emerging Christianity away from the

view of reality as a battle between good and evil evolved into our concept of the Devil — a character who’s frequently depicted with animal features. Seeing the world as a struggle between good and bad, us and them, hasn’t just brought us to the brink of environmental crisis, Kowalski argues. It also goes hand in hand with sexism, racism and other forms of bigotry. Are humans hard-wired to be so self-centered? Kowalski thinks not. In plenty of tradi tions, he points out, man isn’t

Careful reading of The Bible According to Noah does raise some questions. Ascribing emo tions to animals runs the risk of anthropomorphizing — attributing human traits to non humans.

conservation. Jonah’s whal ffers inspira tion about ross-soecies cooperation. tures, “The fading light appar ently affected the baboon as it would you or me; the mandrill stopped to muse, experiencing a moment of contemplation and enchantm ent.” Is this science, or projection? A more subtle question comes up when Kowalski exam ines the Biblical proposition that people are created in G od’s image. Labeling this view as “parochial,” Kowalski explains, “Today we know better. O ther animals dance and make music, love their mates and cherish their offspring, much like our selves.” The implication seems to be that the ability to do these things makes animals resemble God. But all it really shows is that animals sometimes resem ble humans. And measuring the godlike-ness of animals against this human model would seem to make us exactly what Kowalski wants to say we’re not: paradigms of the divine. If the aim is a truly nonspeciesist theology, why not look for mirrors o f the Almighty in less “advanced” life forms?
Bacteria, say, which are om ni present and work in mysterious ways? Or, why not see the sacred exemplified in the deli cate balance of micro-physical forces that holds the material universe together? The most provocative sec tion of Kowalski’s Bible exam ines the binding of Isaac. In the harrowing Biblical account, God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son, and Abraham obeys without question. But just as he raises his knife to slit Isaac’s throat, Abraham’s hand is stayed and a ram conveniently shows up to replace the boy on the altar. Traditional interpreta tions present this tale as a testa ment to Abraham’s faith. But the story raises disturbing ques tions about what sort of deity would issue such an order, and what sort of father would obey. Historians note that in Abraham’s day, when human sacrifice was still widely sanc tioned, the sheep substitution represented a significant reform. But Kowalski is troubled by what he sees as the story’s more basic issue: the glorification of mindless obedience. Citing the famous Milgram experiments, in which subjects’ willingness to follow orders overcame their resistance to inflicting-pain, Kowalski casts God as the ultimate power fig ure in a white lab coat, and Abraham as the duped experi mental shill. The ancient cult of the altar lives on, Kowalski says, in today’s laboratories, where animal subjects are systematical ly traumatized, and worse, in the name of science. “Like the primitive machin ery of sacrifice,” he argues, the machinery of the lab “has its own mystique, its own priest hood.” And, he suggests, as long as this “machinery” retains its mystique, it harbors a potential for doing unspeakable damage. The Nazi doctors who per formed medical experiments on helpless human prisoners were not abnormal personalities, he submits. Given the right cir cumstances, any one of us might be persuaded to do almost anything. The solution? Reject author itarian thinking and nurture independent acts of conscience. People of faith, Kowalski preaches, should not envision the Big Bopper as an all-power ful perpetrator or as a suffering victim, but listen for God in “the calm, quiet voice within ourselves” that defies hierarchi cal oppression. Moral develop ment doesn’t mean simply doing what you’re told, he sug gests, but trusting yourself enough to “upset convention” and “question the man in the lab coat.” Fascists, furriers and funda mentalists won’t find much to like in this take on the Bible. But for the rest of us, Kowalski’s scrutiny of Scripture provides a feast of interesting anecdotes and well-tuned prose that raises, well, meaty questions about the best way of being human. ®

From gene pool to shark pool, the supply of Vermont children, like you who cannot be here today because they are behind bars, our state at last can boast a youth culture that looks like America — at least that part of America as depicted on M T V ’s “The Tom Green Show.” (Pause for laughter) Well, to get serious for a m om ent... As we face the future, let us look to the past and review some of the accomplishments of those transformative years. It was in 1994 — just one year after the National Trust for Historic Preservation placed the entire state at the head of its “Endangered Places” list — that Vermont youngsters got “hep to the jive” in terms of urban-style youth gangs. W hat a surprise to us “old fogeys” when so many of you started stepping out in those red berets, getting “beaten in” to Los Solidos or La Familia, and running drugs for the “big boys.” But that was just a harbinger. Bigger vistas lay ahead. In 1997 Vermont kids led the nation in per-capita auto fatalities involving teen age drivers and alcohol. One year after that, spurred by a 77 percent jump in the number of jail inmates between the ages of 16 and 21, the nation’s “safest” state began shipping its spillover prisoners off to Virginia and other states. The familiar export slogan, “Vermont-made,” took on an entirely new meaning! (Pause for laughter) To get serious again...

Vermont’s Department of Corrections supervised or housed one in 10 Vermont males of high school age. D O C ’s budget, by the way, nearly tripled during the 1990s, from $27 million to more than $70 million. Now, where was Act 60 when we really needed it?! (Pause for laughter) That was about the time that our Corrections Commissioner declared, “We’re afraid of our own kids right now.” And, hey, why not?! Public-school dropouts were increasing from 1060 in 1992 to 1585 in 1998, a jump of nearly 50 percent. Meanwhile, admissions to the “corrections education” program for ado lescents at D O C were escalating: from 160 in June to 220 in November 1998. The percentage of the youthful “corrections” population without a high school diploma increased 93 percent from 1987 to 1998. I could go on. But let us wind up our stroll down Memory Lane by revisiting some of the trends and events that colored the high school years of you here today, with your upturned faces and your violent Playstation games concealed under your robes.

A legume-lover roots out
veggie spots in Montreal B y Jeanne K eller hrough all our years of eating together in Montreal, our friend Robin has been an awfully good sport. She’s vegetarian, but she’s never made us feel bad, even during our worst carnivorous excesses. Last August, for example, I was “researching” BBQ joints in Montreal on a weekend that coincided with the Canadian Open tennis champi onship. W ith tickets in hand for quarterfi nals, semis and the final, we should have realized there was little time for eating. I selected five BBQ spots to hit, figur ing we’d have time to tuck into ribs and chicken joints between matches. The first place had a two-hour wait — because peo ple in the know had called ahead to place their orders. Another place was out of business, and the restaurant we tagged for dinner closed before we got out of our evening match. At one point, as we hur riedly stopped on the way to the stadium for yet more poulet a porter, Robin rubbed her hands together, smacked her lips and
T
proclaimed with a smile, “Oh, boy! Another bag o’ meat!” Like I said, she’s an awfully good sport, and I owed her. So, for the past two months we’ve been sampling vegetarian. And even I, born in Montana beef coun try, have to admit it’s been fabulous. There are some strictly vegetarian venues, but the plethora of ethnic menus also contains wonderful vegetarian choices, especially pleasing for “mixed” company. Probably the first — and for some, the only — Montreal vegetarian spot that comes to mind is the venerable Le Commensal. I remember the original loca tion, a dingy downstairs cafeteria on Ste- , Catherine. It was my first experience pay ing by plate weight, and the vegetarian lasagna looked pretty good until the cashier rang up my bill. Yikes! But cost is apparently no problem for many cus tomers, as Commensal has now expanded to four locations, all conveniently located near colleges. Le Commensal is all vegetarian, all the time. Their buffets are extraordinary,
beautiful and creative — scores of salads, hot and cold pastas, hot entrees, even meatless pot pies and pates. The brunches are legendary, offering both vegan and non-vegan choices. Be warned about the pricing policy, however, as a plate heavy on the heavenly hot dishes can weigh upwards of $15 Canadian. There are so many gorgeous salads and marinades ypu’ll have a heaping plate before you know it. The experienced approach is to start small and come back for more if you need it. Le Commensal: 2115 rue St-Denis, 1204 M cGill College, and 3715 Queen Mary Rd., Montreal, and 360 rue Sicard, Ste-Therese. Cafeteria style; no reservations.
be seated and use the restaurant menu. The menu will throw you, however, as the dishes are categorized by “beef,” “chicken,” “shrimp” and so on — for example, Green Curry Chicken or Beef Sate. Apparently this is to help carnivores like me order to our taste. Oddly, it works. The seitan in the Green Curry Chicken, which is tender, pale and cut in chicken-y chunks, looks and tastes nothing like the stuff in dark, thin grilled strips on skewers posing as Beef Satay. Robin loved the food, but opined that perhaps the kitchen isn’t confident enough to just tell it like it is. We all agreed that for those who have tasted flesh, it helps to know what to expect when you order, and think my debt to Robin was paid in for a mixed table or a family with full when I took her to Chuchai, an meatatarian children, this is a useful trick. all-vegetarian Thai restaurant.

We were rendered speechless by the Vegetarian Tom Yam Soup, one of the best any of us had tast ed anywhere — really hot, lemony, with tomato, scallions, coconut milk and a touch of miso. For main courses we took the Vegetarian Koew Teow, a tasty Hokkein noodle dish with seitan and bean curd, mustard greens, napa cabbage and bean sprouts. We moaned over the Vegetarian Curry Platter, loaded with mushrooms and vegetables, bitter melon and bottle gourd and chick peas, flavored with tamarind juice, coconut milk and curry spices and served over fine semolina noodles. This food is very hot, and people who don’t like it, Nantha cautioned us, just shouldn’t come here. Nantha’s Kitchen: 9 Duluth East (just east o f St-Laurent).

Hanging plants are taking over the windows, and music is in the air — salsa, Nubian, Cesaria Evora. When we walked in the door, Robin immediately noted that “the bar sure looks good.” W hat she was looking at was the man behind it, Nantha himself Distinguished in an off-beat way, with a jewel gleaming on his earlobe, a tall, red chef’s toque and skin like dark cafe au lait, Nantha is a Malaysian who settled in Montreal hoping for a career in journal ism.

Nantha makes a point of visiting each of the 10 or so tables at least once during the meal, spreading laughter and hugs as he moves from table to table. He told us that 40 percent of his customers are week ly regulars, people who live in the neigh borhood and stop by after work.

Inside Track continued from page 5a Meanwhile, thanks to the watchful eyes of readers, were expanding the Walter Freed Motor Pool. We previously men tioned the two Chevy Corvettes. Nice. But did you know about the white Porsche, the new Volvo wagon, the top-of-the-line SUV and the vintage Chevrolet Impala? Nice wheels, dude! Media Notes — Congratulations and best wishes to Mickey Hirten, executive editor of The Burlington Free Press the past four years. Mickey’s moving up the Gannett-chain ladder to a bigger paper in Lansing, Michigan. Mr. Hirten won a couple Gannett Presidential Rings in recent years — a sure sign of being on the corporate star track. But we’ll remember Mickey for a couple items that never appeared in our distinguished local daily. As executive editor, Hirten sat on the newspaper’s editorial board, which is led by Publisher Jim Carey. It’s an editorial board that will always have a special place in journalism’s Hall of Shame for ducking Vermont’s most controversial public policy issue of the day. While the Rutland Herald won a Pulitzer Prize for its editorials on civil unions, The Burlington Free Press was totally silent. A dereliction of journalistic duty of the highest order, we say. Then, last year, in the midst of the heated gubernatorial cam paign, Mickey decided not to inform his readers of charges that the GOP standard-bearer, Ruthless Rllth Dwyer, had made anti-Semitic comments about the governor and three distinguished journalists — one of whom worked at the Freeps at the time. Mickey called it a “he said/she said” story that could not be cor roborated, and therefore could not be reported in the Freeps. Higher standards and all, he said. When a UVM professor called to complain about the paper’s omission, Mr. Hirten’s memo rable response was, “Why, are you Jewish?” No word on who will be the new executive editor of Vermont’s largest daily. Chances are it’ll be some out-of-stater we’ve never heard of, unless... hmmm, won der if Candy Page is ready for prime time? • Also in media land, a former WCAX-TV reporter made the national wire Tuesday for quitting his job as a TV reporter in Spokane, Washington. Tom Grant was on the Vermont airwaves over a decade ago. Did a damn fine job, too, before heading west to his native Washington. According to WCAX News Director Marselis Parsons, Grant was “an excellent reporter.” Marsillyiss describes Tom as “aggressive,” “innovative” and “occasionally pushing the enve lope.” And at KXLY in Spokane, Grant continued to do fine work. But he finally got fed up with TV news and its maniacal empha sis on image over substance. So he recently quit the tube and signed
up as — get this — a columnist at Spokane’s alternative weekly, The Local Planet— www.thelocalpanet.com. “Instead of pursuing meaning ful stories,” writes Mr. Grant, “television news has sunk to new lows in superficiality. A few months ago, KXLY hired a new consultant — a fashion and makeup expert. She was a delight ful woman who told me I’m a ‘summer.’ Hey, now I can wear pink with confidence. But why would a news station spend $10,000 on a makeup expert shortly after eviscerating its inves tigative unit?” Don’t you just love a squeaky wheel? • Speaking of veteran TV reporters, WPTZ reporter Stewart Ledbetter had a hot lead story Monday about IBM’s fer vent desire to have hundreds of its Franklin County workers leave their cars and trucks at home and ride a commuter train to work. Big Blue’s local mouthpiece, the casually attired Jeff Couture, expressed the desire to have the service up and running “today,” and happily said IBM would build a train station on its site. You know, IBM has a pretty good track record of predicting the future. In northwestern Vermont, commuter rail looks to be a part of that future. The times, they are achangin’. Speaking of Rail — What’s going on with the Lamoille Valley Railroad project? Hard to tell, because state officials are mum about it. A couple weeks back we reported on “The Choo-Choo That Ho-Ho Hates” — a propos al by Brad Worthen and Peter Snyder of Vermont Rail Link Inc. They’re two guys with the dream of restoring the defunct rail line to handle freight and tourist traf fic. Unfortunately for them, the Dean administration wants it to become a recreation path. The Agency of Transportation appointed a citizens’ advisory committee. But the “corridor committee” reached a verdict three weeks ago and Transpor tation Secretary Brian Searles still won’t make it public. You’ve got to wonder, eh? If that recommendation were for a rec path, Gov. Dean would have already held a press conference to publicly thank the committee members for doing the right thing. Mr. Worthen told Seven Days this week, “the public has a right to know” what the advisory com mittee recommended. “If it’s for a rec path,” he asked, “why all the posturing and delay?” Good question.

album, Return to Earth, is a collection of 14 well-crafted, folk-pop songs, and they show off frontman Seatl Kelley at his singer-songwriterish best. The tunes are quite lovely, evocative and sensitive without cross ing the line into sentimental. So it’s fitting that the former Burlingtonian delivers an acoustic solo show this Saturday to the home crowd. Kelley is staying in town for a “therapeutic” respite in between tours — a stint he says may run into the fall, he’s enjoy ing it that much. The band is touring so often right now that Kelley is liter ally a transient — but that’s okay for now. “Find a job you love and you’ll never work another day in your life,” he opines. The Samples will conclude their summer tour with a show July 7 back at Higher Ground. Patrick Fitzsim m ons couldn’t be a more appropriate opening act for the show this week — a former mem ber o f From Good Hom es, he went solo a while back and has been heat ing up local coffeehouses ever since. Fitzsimmons is also backing a new CD, The Changing. T hat’s some seri ous unplugged talent right there.
plagued with allergies this spring, but that ain’t gonna stop the bluesman from launching his new hourlong radio show, “Howlin’ at the M oon,” on the Point (104.7 FM W NCS) June 4. In fact, he’s kicking off the program with a special live concert this Monday, May 28. Branca will use the 7-8 p.m. slot to spin “timeless classics as well as soulful new blues music” by contem porary artists — with an emphasis on the new and underexposed. The show’s moniker comes from a Branca song of the same name. Meanwhile, having dissolved BlOOZOtOmy, the big guy’s been cooking up some lean, mean solo unplugged gigs as well as sizzlers with his new Red H ot In sta n t Combo. All this activity is nothin’ to sneeze at.

foundation for Ross’ impressively fluid lines. You know right from the start that what you’re hearing on Acoustic Phenomenon is a lot more than some young guy trying to sound like Stephane Grappelli or Joe Venuti. W hen Ross drops a hint of Harold Aden’s “If I Only Had a Brain” (from The Wizard o f Oz) into one of the takes of “Donna Lee,” he’s not hot-dogging — it just sounds right, and then it’s gone. A soft touch and a quality of style sets Ross apart. O n “O h Lady Be Good,” he trades lines with two local jazz veterans, violinists Jason Bergman and Doug Reid, and holds his own. The result sounds like fountains and cascades of jitterbug bop. Ross’ non-jazz fiddling is quite y V c o w s tic P l\C H o m c H o n captivating, too — he’s already got a well-developed sound, with some of the scratch of Cape Breton, some of PATRICK ROSS, DOUG PERKINS & DAVE the lilt of the Irish, and some of the force and heart RODRIGUEZ, ACOUSTIC PHENOMENON (selfof the best Scottish fiddlers.

DO GOOD DEPT. Some of you may have seen Robert W ard perform last summer at Club Metronome — or at fellow bluesman Dave K e lle r’s wed ding. Sadly, the soulful 61-year-old singer/guitarist had a stroke on New Year’s Eve and, though slowly recover ing, finds — as we all do — that insurance doesn’t quite cover the bills. So Keller is throwing a dance party for Ward’s benefit this Friday at Metronome, and hopes you’ll lend a hand. Same place next Tuesday, the Vorcza Trio roll out some funky jazz for the Quebec Legal Defense fund.

There’s also a cheap art auction at 6:30, followed by a program on the trade agreement and labor struggles in Vermont. Then Vorcza, and later on, DJ Darcie, will help you forget everything you just heard — at least for a little while. No tear gas, promise.

Cuts like the title track and the opener, “The Emperor,” make good use of Topaz’s formidable horn power, gradually unfolding rich interplay between him, trumpeter Takuya Nakamura and trombonist Squantch. “Rez Intro” is a stoner groove — do these guys do drugs? — rolling a downer for five minutes against a backdrop of sitar and didgeridoo. Luckily, this kicks into “Rez,” which provides a welcome uptempo relief. The band’s press kit calls Topaz a “ubiquitous psychedelic jazz experience,” though I don’t think that’s any excuse for the overworn lyric, “free your m ind,” repeated over and over, which mars “Let Go.” Then again, if we overlook that bit, this is a strong, if at times too unfocused, record. W hen Topaz are on, they are tight and have flashes of excitement. It just takes a little while to get to the good parts. I most appreciated Ethan W hite’s substantial skills on the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer through out. Kudos, too, should be given to Phelim White for sheer, tight skills on the drums. Jazzy/acid types should appreciate this album, especially if they’re looking for solid grooves. The musicianship is solid, at least. For the live version, catch them at Higher Ground June 1, opening for The Derek Trucks Band.

HEYDE HO, LET’S GO!
The exhibit o f paintings by Vermont’s own Hudson River School”artist, Charles
Louis Heyde, has been one o f the Fleming Museums biggest blockbusters in recent years, for at least three reasons: Many o f the paintings were loaned by Vermonters — expecially guest curator Tom Pierce — so the local ties run deep; the paintings are gorgeous; and the exhibit allows viewers a rare vision o f Vermont landscape in the 19th century. Besides, the works are as easy to understand as they are easy on the eyes, and current Vermonters can delight in recognizing certain scenes. Okay, make that five reasons... to see

SEVEN DAYS
m ay 2 3 , 2 0 0 1
ANGEL E Y E S ***172 Luis Mandoki likes to make somber movies about wounded characters whose only hope for salvation is the restorative power of romantic love. In White Palace, widowed yuppie James Spader was saved by Susan Sarandon. In Message in a Bottle, Kevin Costner was saved by Robin Wright Penn. In When a Man Loves a Woman, alky Meg Ryan was saved by Andy Garcia. In Angel Eyes the director ups the emotional ante. Both tough Chicago cop Jennifer Lopez and mysteri ous, unshaven, overcoated James Caviezel are wound ed characters in need of saving. She’s scarred by mem ories of an abusive father, arrested as a result of a call to police she made as a terrified young girl while her mother and brother were being beaten. He’s a haunt ed shell of a man numbly wandering through life ever since his wife and son were killed in a grisly car acci dent, which he alone survived. The two enter one another’s lives when Caviezel appears out of nowhere one afternoon and tackles a thug who’s about to pop a cap in Lopez’s face. She meets him for a drink later to say thanks and learns only that he calls himself “Catch” and doesn’t have a car. Lopez offers him a ride home, takes him to her place instead, and lowers her guard long enough to spark the strangest, most angst-ridden movie love affair since Leaving Las Vegas. The script is wall-to-wall with nice touches. At first Caviezel’s low-rent loft is empty except for a cheap mattress and blanket on the floor. As his halt ing relationship with Lopez gradually brings him back to life, pieces of furniture and bits of home decor appear one by one until it looks as though, some where along the line, he might have started dating Martha Stewart instead. Lopez’s parents are throwing a party, at which they plan to renew their vows. Her family’s dynamic is explored in believable and brutal detail. She’s the one who’s come to be ostracized, the one blamed by the others any time she alludes even elliptically to prob lems of the past. There’s a very powerful moment fol lowing the ceremony when she confronts her father and asks him how he feels about her. “Like I don’t have a daughter anymore,” he answers. Devastated, she turns to leave, but stops to recount a childhood story for the videographer
recording the event. At first it sounds as though she’s about to bust the old man in front of his friends and family, but then it turns out to be a moving memory about a day when he came home from work, exhaust ed and defeated, but horsed around with his kids playfully anyway. Their eyes meet from across the crowded room. Every law on the Hollywood books compels the two to move toward one another and embrace. Once, twice and then a third time, the old guy turns toward her. But then, no, he walks slowly upstairs without offering a word either of forgiveness or apology, choosing to live in denial of his daughter’s love. Now that’s hard-core. Pictures about people living in denial are a dime a dozen. Denial of problems. Denial of mistakes or tragedies. But living in denial of your own child’s love for you? This may be the most existential chick flick ever made. Nonetheless, I’m in the minority here. Most reviewers have dismissed the film as a jumble of gen res, but I found its moody tone as cool as that of The Sixth Sense (note: despite inferences to the contrary in the studio’s ads and trailers, there isn’t actually a supernatural element to the film). The film’s take on family dysfunction is a hundred times more hard-hit ting and honest than anything on Oprah’s list, and its portrayal of people unraveled by loss is as compelling as anything I’ve come across in either independent or European cinema. If Angel Eyes had been made in, say, France and starred a couple of unknowns, I’d bet money these same critics would be filing out of art houses raving and comparing Mandoki to filmmakers like Fassbinder, Wenders and Bergman. Okay, Bergman might be overdoing it. This may not be timeless art, exactly, but it is a character study far more powerful and perceptively told than critics in general are giving it credit for being. On top of that, both Lopez and Caviezel give intelligent, highly watchable performances. I simply fail to see the prob lem. It’s gloomy. It’s brutally truthful. It’s only margin ally life-affirming. Maybe if Mondoki had stuck closer to approved chick-flick formula, reviewers would have known better what to make of Angel Eyes. You’d have to be blind, though, not to see how much better the film is because he didn’t. ©
p r e v ie w s P E A R L H A R B O R Michael (Bad Boys, Armageddon) Bay’s movies have always been the kind in which lots of stuff blows up, so it’s no surprise he was tapped to direct this budget-blast ing blockbuster take on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and its impact on the love lives of two soldiers and the woman they both desire. With Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale. (PG-13)

Dear Cecil, I have heardfor as long as I can remember (and even read in a book somewhere) that a major ingredient o f Chanel No. 5 perfume is the sweaty excretions o f the Abyssinian civet cat. I have even heard that they stretch these cats out on some type o f medieval rack and whip them mercilessly to make them sweat more. The Straight Dope please, Cecil. N — Daemon, via the Straight Dope Message Board Dear Cecil, fls Kopi Luwak for real? I mean, coffee made from beans that have taken a ride down the alimentary canal o f an ani mal? I hope this is a joke, but I ’m worried that it’s not. — Wes Brevig You’re wondering what these two questions have in common? Better sit down, friends. It’ll become apparent all too soon. First of all, the civet isn’t a cat, it just looks like one — actually it’s related to the mongoose. And those sweaty excretions aren’t sweat — they come from the perineal glands, next to the civet’s anus. (What do you mean, “ewww”? We’ve barely gotten started. I’ll give you some thing to go “ewww” about.) The perineal glands contain a smelly substance that civets, and true cats for that matter, use tb mark their territory. In ancient times some unknown S ^rh rm e artisan came to an important realization: Olfactory protoscientist #1: Man, this civet smell is
rank. Olfactory protoscientist #2: Yes, but it lasts a really long time! Olfactory protoscientist #1: [Pause.] I’m not seeing how this helps us. In fact, when used in minute quantities, civet has a cer tain musky allure, and when mixed with more perishable fragrances it prolongs their scent. I don’t find any evidence that you get civet out of civets by whipping them, but the process is none too pleasant. According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals (www.wspa.org.uk/campaigns/civets/civet01.html), which has investigated civet harvesting in Ethiopia, the animals are kept in tiny cages for years. Every few days the keepers scrape the civet out of the anal sacs, a painful procedure (not to mention one of the world’s worst jobs). The WSPA says that Chanel, Cartier and Lancome have all admitted to using civet in their products and that laboratory tests detected the ingredient in Chanel No. 5. Chanel says it has substituted synthetic civet for the natural
version since 1998, but come on — years of animal rights agitation and they’re realizing only now that using this stuff promotes cruelty to animals? On to that coffee, kopi luwak. The beans have indeed gone in one end of an animal and come out the other, and guess which animal? None other than the civet, although in this case we’re talking about the Indonesian palm civet {Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) rather than its perfumeingredient-producing cousins ( Viverra civetta and Viverra zibetha). The palm civet prowls about the coffee planta tions of Indonesia, seeking out and eating only the ripest, most primo coffee “cherries” (the sweet pulpy fruit encas ing the coffee beans). The indigestible bean passes through the animal’s system and is excreted, passing within millime ters of our old friends the perineal glands. In the old days it was then gathered by the poorest Indonesians and brewed into coffee. But then somebody had a brainstorm: You know, if we play our cards right, we can sell this to white people for $110 a pound! Behold, it has come to pass. The coffee is said to have a rich, full-bodied, almost syrupy quality that supposedly results from fermentation in the digestive tract, blah blah blah. They say it’s quite tasty if you can ignore the fact — no sense pussyfooting around here — that it’s made from shit. I haven’t tried it personally, you understand. But I plan to get to it real soon. Some people have expressed skepticism that kopi luwak consists entirely of pre-eaten beans, and from a quality-control standpoint it’s hard to imagine what you would do to guarantee 100 percent authenticity. But I cherish the thought of some yup pie complaining that his coffee isn’t pure shit. Meanwhile, somewhere a civet is rubbing its scraped perineal glands and thinking, Ah, sweet revenge. — CECIL ADAMS

SEVEN DAYS
page 1 9 b
'-
M ay 2 4 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Will this be the oddest week o f the year? Quite possibly. You may have an encounter with a kind o f pseudo pregnancy, and you could find your self praying to a god whose existence you never suspected before. For all I know, Aries, you’ll acquire a mysteri ous tool and weird treasure, and you’ll be surprised at how much you enjoy the company o f people who don’t understand you quite the way you thought you needed. But as long as you don’t try to force anything to be what it’s not, I predict there’ll be at least one happy ending.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): Soul-sapping influences are every where. To name a few: generic archi tecture that numbs our desire for beauty, degrading stereotypes about sex and gender, conglomerates that sell us pesticide-laden, genetically modified food, news media that equate cynicism with intellectual vigor, and the mass extinction that’s now decimating the Earth’s species at a rate comparable to the last annihila tion of ecodiversity 65 million years ago. But amidst ali the loss, Taurus, there is one threat that outstrips all others: the black magic you perform on yourself. By that I mean the ways you hurt yourself while in the thrall of your unconscious conditioning. Luckily, you’re now in a phase when you have maximum power to undo these self-administered curses.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): I tried to get my manifesto, “Bigger, Better, More Original Sins,” pub lished in Unrepentant Sinners maga zine. Unfortunately, the editors didn’t like the spin I put on the subject. To me, the most interesting sins are not decadent vices or bad habits or silly violations o f common sense (all o f which are the magazine’s specialty). Rather, I’m a connoisseur o f taboo yet uplifting pleasures; I love transgres sions that don’t hurt anyone and expand my intelligence and improve the world. These are exactly the kinds

.aspects of your psyche to survey the scenes that are normally tanaged by your logical, orgalized mind.
-- ---------------- ------- -------of frontier-penetrating experiments I exhort you to dare in the coming weeks, Gemini. Have maximum fun as you nudge everyone (including yourself) to rethink their stagnant opinions.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Thieves have been stealing scores of street signs in Bangkok. It seems renegade scrap-metal dealers pay pre mium prices for the plunder. As a result, the already frenetic roads of Thailand’s capital city have devolved into chaos. I want to mutate the meaning o f this situation and offer it to you Cancerians as a benevolent metaphor. I believe you would actual ly thrive on ripping down some of the signposts and boundary markers in your own inner landscapes. Think o f how free you’ll feel if you can treat your realm as virgin territory. Imagine being able to dream up new names for everything. Visualize yourself gaz ing upon all the old familiar places with the alert and hungry eyes o f an explorer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Research shows that an average working couple spends four minutes a day talking to each other with concentrated atten tion. Meanwhile, a typical parent and child engage in meaningful conversa tion for only 20 minutes a week. I’m bringing up these sad truths, Leo, because you can’t afford to reinforce them right now. Success of every kind will elude you unless you devote more time than usual to the fine art o f putting feelings into words as you commune with the people who are most important to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “If I ruled the world,” wrote one of my readers, “the rapid consumption of two bottles of Southern Comfort, four malt liquors and a triple bong-
AQUARIUS
(Jan 20 Feb. 18): In her poetic treatise, A Natural History o f the Senses, Diane Ackerman notes that human lips, tongue and genitals all benefit from the presence of ultrasensitive neural receptors called Krause’s end bulbs. T hat’s why our bodies experience the greatest pleasure there. According to my astrological analyses, Aquarius, your personal complement of these magic buttons is even more super charged than usual. N ot only that: Your psyche itself is now brimming with the fully turned-on spiritual equivalent of Krause’s end bulbs.
anyone you love has to meet the Reaper in order to accomplish this. Generous amounts of uninhibited sex, altered states and emotion-trans forming music will work just as well. Adventures in spiritual eros, medita tion and sacred chanting would also do the trick.
load of skunk weed would not result in my best friend’s mother’s 100-yearold, priceless Oriental carpet being reduced to the condition and value of a pizza accidentally dropped on the sidewalk.” While I understand and appreciate these sentiments, I can think of better ways to capitalize on the privilege of having so much authority. Let’s hope you will, too, Virgo, now that you’re in the most commanding phase of your astrologi cal cycle. In the coming weeks, you’ll have every chance to acquire more clout in your own corner of the world.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to my read ing of the astrological omens, this would be a perfect time for you to declare a general amnesty regarding all matters affecting your closest rela tionships. Have you been nursing secret grudges forever? Dissolve them. Are you keeping a tally about how much more (or less) you give to your partners than they offer you? Wipe the slate clean. Have you been rigidly holding on to expectations that they will never be able to change? Relax your death-grip. Now m urm ur the following affirmation a few hundred times: “We are free to reinvent the way we are together!”
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My astrological analysis suggests you’ll soon be expanding so far and so fast that it will be hard for unexpanding people to keep up. T hat’s why, in order to be of service to you, I’m try ing to add 10 pounds to my frame, churn out extravagantly loving thoughts about you, and read books by mind-stretching Libran authors like Oscar Wilde, Doris Lessing, Arthur Rimbaud, Ursula Le Guin, Friedrich Nietzsche and Samuel Coleridge. You might want to show this horoscope to people you care about in the event they want to fol low my lead. That way they won’t be left behind as you become bigger, smarter and wealthier.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Dear Mr. Know-It-All: In one of your horoscopes you said the best way to solve any problem (any prob lem!) is to tune in to the “still, small voice” of my “inner teacher.” I gave it a whirl. I really did. But frankly, after much trying, I didn’t hear a goddamn thing. Were you just spouting some meaningless New Age crap? — Pissed-Off Pisces” Dear Pissed: It’s hard to detect the still, small voice when your brain is as warm with the caterwaul of com plaining and cursing, as yours seems to be. Likewise, the voice never tries to scream above the din of your outof-control inner monologues. Its clear tones arise amidst emptiness and calm. Another tip: It neither hates nor judges nor flatters. So try again, please. Current astrological omens are such that you’ll have an easier time being reverent and objective. (7)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Businessman Dennis Tito paid the Russians to let him join their astronauts on a trip to the International Space Station. U.S. offi cials were peeved. NASA administra tor Daniel Goldin raged that it would be a “cold day in hell” before his agency would welcome “tourists” like Tito. In other words, his taxpayersupported Old Boys Club wants a monopoly on deciding who gets the great privilege of seeing our planet from space. My feeling is that we should send poets and artists and spiritual leaders up there — imagina tive and articulate people who can report back to us on what it’s like to be transformed by this rare experi ence. I mention this, Capricorn, because I’d like you to try an analo gous shift. Use the dreamy, visionary
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I don’t think you realize how much of your potential remains untapped, Scorpio. Undreamed-of talents and superpowers are still, after all these years, lying dormant within you. Some of them are so alien to your self-conception that they’ll feel like magic if you ever learn to express them. Ironically, one very effective way to bring them to life would be to ripen your attitudes about death and dying. Fortunately, neither you nor
